12 Reasons Why to Not Outsource Your Website Development
Outsourcing has become a big topic over the past few years as companies continue to get burned by the charm of lower prices. Operations, both large and small, usually have no idea what they're really getting themselves into.
While not every single one of these outsourcing companies is terrible, there are a few hangups that you should be aware of when sourcing a company to handle your website development needs.
Is Drupal an Established CMS?
As a business owner you have to constantly worry whether or not the choices you're making will negatively impact you further down the road. You pull in as much information as possible but often technology can be overwhelming. If you've made it as far as choosing Drupal, you're making a great choice.

Running Cron on Pantheon More Often Than 1 Hour
One of the disappointments with the Pantheon platform is the lack of a configurable cron. While there are many benefits to the platform (managed core updates, workflow control, automated backups, etc.), this one seems to really tie the hands of site operators. This article will show you how to run Cron on a consistent basis before that one hour mark.

KNOXVILLE, Iowa. (May 20, 2019) — Due to the number of rain outs during the 2019 season Knoxville Raceway added an event this coming Friday May 24th to their 2019 schedule. The Winged 410, 360, and Pro sprint cars will compete in a non-point event prior to Saturday's regularly scheduled Knoxville Championship Cup show on Saturday.
Knoxville Raceway officials polled race teams on Friday and they were largely in favor of the second show added to Memorial Day weekend. Knoxville has cancelled four of their six racing programs this season due to inclement weather.

I have the LED panel working with the OSH Park Pmod PCB now:
I have also added modules and examples for VGA text and a PS/2 keyboard, both of which need more work on them. I am also working on an ic2 master module to drive an ssd1306 OLED display.
Oooh that's really cool @lawrie , I have ordered the PCB from OSHpark and want to try it out with my panel when it comes..
There are a couple of other LED panel examples in my BlackSoC project. The ledpanel example seems to be set up for two led panels, but shows an animated sprite on the first one. I then modified a picorv32 example of Conway's Game of Life that I found on github and added that as an example to BlackSoc. There is also the game iconoid, copied from the icotools/icosoc project, which is described as: An Arkanoid-like game using 3x3 LED panels (32x32 LEDs each) as display and two scales as input device. I can't afford the hardware for that, and do not really understand why you want to use weighing scales as a game controller.
Here is a video of the iconoid game - https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=55&v=LJDgJMJm3U4.
I have now added an i2c master module and an ssd1306 i2c OLED display example, both of which need more work on them , but basically work at least for i2c writes.
I now have a cut down version of the Adafruit GFX library for the ssd1306, working on BlackSoc:
And a Grove i2c RGB-backlight text LCD working with BlackSoC:
And now a module for SPI Oled displays:
And an example for an SH1106 display, using a Pmod made from the prototype board:
Hi @lawrie I just got chance to play around with BlackIceSOC today and got a couple of examples working Hello and led. However I cannot seem to get vga_text example working, I just get the sad red led on BI II and nothing from /dev/USB0 . does the vga_text example actually work right now?
The VGA Text example is not very good and has several problems but I have just tried it and it is working for me.
You should get all the normal bootloader output and then Hello World on /dev/ttyUSB0 as it does a printf as well as sending it to the VGA screen.
The problems with the example are:
I suspect your problem is not to do with the example. It could be the /dev/ttyUSB0 parameters are wrong. I always do stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 raw -echo 115200 before doing cat /dev/ttyUSB0. The make file does that but if you do the cat /dev/ttyUSB0 first, it could be a problem. I had that problem once. Do you get the correct output on /dev/ttyACM0?
If you are getting the red LED it suggests that the config did not work. I have had that by not having raw on /dev/ttyACM0. I don't think the make file sets that. I tend to run BlackSoc with a terminal doing cat /dev/ttyACM0 and another doing cat /dev/ttyUSB0.
The latest change I did to BlackSoc was to use a yellow/blue i2c ssd1306 display. That had Vcc and Gnd the other way round to my other i2c ssd1306, so I could plug it straight in without using a Pmod. The top line on that display is yellow, the other lines blue. All these tiny Oled displays cost a few dollars on ebay. Digilent do some of them but they are too expensive. I have the RGB version on order. That will need some software changes. I have both the i2c and SPI versions working.
I also got the Digilent AD1 12-bit dual 1 MSPS SPI ADC working with BlackSoc, but not attempting a high data rate. It worked well as a battery tester. That example is AD1.
I also tried using it to try using an old PC Gamepad I had lying around with BlackSoc. It has a couple of potentiometers so needs an ADC. It works, but not very well. I thought I might make a Pmod for it.
And I am looking at using a fast 32 MSPS 8-bit ADC/DAC that I bought on AliExpress. I might try that initially with BlackSoc, but I am considering it for Oscilloscope or SDR projects:
It was featured on open tech labs - https://opentechlab.org.uk/doku.php.
The output from the make run seems to be identical:
cat icosoc.bin >/dev/ttyACM0
But the led example works and the vga_text doesn't, I will have to dig deeper, maybe I managed to break something..
Sorry, correction, my bad! I was using a different terminal I fixed it with stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 raw
stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 raw
Now I just have to modify the Verilog to work with my VGA PMOD
Perhaps there was an error message somewhere. It can get lost in all the verbose output, which I probably should have switched off. Have you changed the verilog or the icosoc.cfg file? Changing main.c should not cause that error as it does not affect the icosoc.bin file, just appimage.hex.
Which order are the PMODs enumerated pin wise?
1 2 3 4 from the right in the top row and 7 8 9 10 in the bottom row. And you presumably saw the pmod numbers where pmod1 is 3/4, 2 is 4/5, 3 is 6/7, 4 is 8/9 and 5 is 9/10.
The PS/2 keyboard example is not that useful as it returns just scan codes, not ascii codes and doesn't decode shift, ctrl, extended etc. (It uses hoglet's ps2interface code). The ping module code is a bit crap, but appears to work. The i2c master doesn't do reads. I have been going for quantity not quality and I am still a bit of an amateur at verilog, but I am learning.

A while ago earnings on the Internet were limited to developing your own website. But today, social networks are coming to the fore. Over the past few years, TikTok service has been gaining momentum. Its audience is young people, but older people also move to TikTok and are ready to show their talents.
TikTok is not just an entertainment. SMM experts have chosen it as a source of income long ago. Half a billion users make this service attractive in terms of marketing. You can earn money on TikTok only on popular videos and, accordingly, on the well-promoted pages.

How to make a good video
Popular videos are of interest for the TikTok users. Make your video popular in two ways:
- Find an interesting extraordinary topic or story for the video and shoot it yourself.
- Use professional help.
How to make a good Tik Tok video? When choosing the first option, it is necessary that the video attracts the attention of users.
Interesting plot
The first thing you need is finding an interesting plot. Many people know what "HYPE" is, when the video becomes popular in the entire social network in a matter of days. Hundreds of thousands and millions of users start imitating the characters of the plot. But it is not easy to achieve this effect. An interesting and exciting plot can create the so-called "viral" effect, when users start sharing their videos with their friends.
The plot can be interesting, unusual, or just lucky, when the user finds himself at the right time in the right place with a smartphone in his hand.
Useful article: "How to Add and Edit a TikTok Video"
Trending always makes profit. Imitation of trending characters, the plot with A-list music or with a trending look has helped to promote many users in the social networks. Tik Tok trends 2019 are presented on many sites and in popular videos. To understand how to make a good video, it is better to watch a few videos that have scored the most views.
Tik Tok music list, which can be added to the video, is huge. It is worth exploring popular songs in the videos that scored the most views. This will increase the popularity of the video. Recognizable A-list music will attract the attention of many followers.
Special effects
Using one or more effects for an interesting video will spice it up. Moreover, the effects can be either in the form of various transitions, decelerations, TikTok filters, or invented by the user. User effects look nice as a result of high-quality editing. Among such effects there could be several user's figures dancing simultaneously, an unexpected popping up and transformation by editing. Learning these tricks is easy. It is enough to shoot a few such videos.
Businessmen use professional help for shooting interesting viral videos. They do not have time to film such videos by themselves, search for ideas. In addition, by paying an affordable price to the professionals for promotion in the social networks, the customer receives the required number of followers, likes and promotion of his product or service in the popular TikTok service.

As much as companies talk about "going green," e-waste remains a serious global problem.
We generate enough electronic waste – 41.8 million metric tons — to fill a line of tractor trailers spanning half the planet.
It's a two-pronged problem: companies use more electronics than ever before, and those devices are coming with shorter and shorter lifespans.
And while most companies that get rid of their old IT assets do so to reduce clutter, it's important to remember that those devices have value.
That's where IT remarketing comes in. You may not need your devices anymore, but there are others who still might find value in them.
But before you choose an IT remarketing company for your old devices, make sure you're working with a vendor who will keep your data secure, while also safely recycling what they can't resell.
Look for someone who will:
- Erase your data from old devices, as well as any other sort of identifying information.
- Securely destroy or recycle any devices without market value.
- Assign a fair market value to your IT assets.
- Promises to never incinerate e-waste or send it to a landfill, either here in the U.S. or overseas.
- Offers clear documentation so that you can see every step of your device's journey, from the time you hand it over to final processing.
CWI can help you if you work for a business, school or government office that want to upgrade its IT assets and dispose of unwanted devices in a secure, environmentally safe manner.
Much of what we take in can be reused, which is the most environmentally safe method of disposing of IT assets. In situations where we can't resell a device, we work with organizations that adhere to environmental best practices for electronic recycling.
As for security, we work with WhiteCanyon software, a leader in the industry of disk sanitation. Every device we process goes through a data erasure standard approved by the U.S. Department of Defense, so you can rest assured your information stays secure.
Contact us today and we'll find a way to take your old devices out of your hands, while also making sure they stay out of a landfill.

We have analyzed the translational status of each mRNA in rapidly growing Saccharomyces cerevisiae. mRNAs were separated by velocity sedimentation on a sucrose gradient, and 14 fractions across the gradient were analyzed by quantitative microarray analysis, providing a profile of ribosome association with mRNAs for thousands of genes. For most genes, the majority of mRNA molecules were associated with ribosomes and presumably engaged in translation. This systematic approach enabled us to recogni ...[more]

It's cyber Monday. The Christmas season is upon us, whether we are ready or not. (Personally, this past year went by entirely too fast, but that's another thing altogether.) The thing is, I did a couple of craft shows this fall, so I worked like a demon to crank out stuff I thought would sell well as Christmas gifts. But, I overdo everything. I made way too many cards and ornaments and jewelry boxes, and even worse, the work – and the holiday preparations – stopped being fun.
It was time to refocus my efforts. I reminded myself why I'm doing this — how good it feels to create something that others find beautiful or evocative. The best compliment I ever got was from a young woman who told me my collages were like treasure hunts — you kept finding little things hidden here and there. I love being able to create meaning for people — or more precisely, helping people create meaning for themselves.
So, it's back to the artistry and away from giftable gadgets. I decided to spend the holiday dabbling in something new — encaustic art. I've ordered some supplies and look forward to experimenting and learning. This may not be proper proceedure, but I like to experiment a little first, before I learn actual techniques because it frees me up to see all the possibilities.
Once this decision was made, that glorious feeling came back. I don't know that my encaustic work will be masterpiece-ful. But the process of learning it will be. Plus, Christmas can be Christmas again!

When Justin Kim, CC '21, attended Columbia University College Republicans' Tommy Robinson event last October, he anticipated fervent protests but didn't expect to find himself at the center of the conflict.
"As I was walking up the ramp in Lerner leading into the venue, the protesters inside stopped chanting whatever they were chanting about racism, and then started to yell 'Shame! Shame! Shame!' at me," Kim said.
According to Kim, he attended the event to try and understand Robinson's perspective, but was mislabeled by protestors as a supporter of Robinson's extremist views.
Kim's experience is emblematic of a larger issue of inhibited speech that was made apparent last semester when CUCR hosted a "free speech month" that brought white supremacists Tommy Robinson and Mike Cernovich to speak at Columbia.
This series of speakers dominated campus discussion and forced students to consider their stance on free speech, revealing a clash between the administration's endorsement of free speech and calls from some students to ban racist speech in the interest of safety—a tension that student leaders, faculty, and administrators will have to confront in the coming year.
But while students and administrators told Spectator that they saw urgency in discussing the boundaries of free speech—and the University's role as an incubator of ideas—such debate is largely chilled by a politically correct atmosphere and students' widespread fear of being labeled as sympathizers of racist ideas.
CUCR's "free speech month" speakers sparked heavy protests across campus, as hundreds of people from both student organizations and Harlem activist groups gathered to oppose them. Because of the massive security costs incurred by these events, which are covered by student tuition, the Black Students' Organization called for the Columbia College Student Council to defund CUCR altogether.
Many students admitted to feeling endangered by the the speakers' islamophobic and bigoted rhetoric, calling for such speakers to be kept away from Columbia.
"They're trying to protect this scary idea that you have the freedom to be racist, you have the freedom to attack others, you have the freedom to deny another's existence," Kashaf Doha, BC '19, said.
Despite these concerns, University President Lee Bollinger has remained firm in his commitment to the First Amendment.
"We're simply not going to let the people who are offended by the messages—even reasonably offended by the messages—to stop the speech from happening," Bollinger said in an interview with Spectator in October. "In protecting them, we strengthen our own skills of argumentation and discourse."
Though hesitant to express outright support, some students agree with Bollinger's perspective but fear being associated with the inflammatory views of the speakers.
In one instance, the Columbia University Democrats wrote an op-ed condemning CUCR's speaker choices but cautioning against protesters "shouting down" these speakers. However, after receiving major backlash for inadvertently opposing activists and downplaying white nationalism, Dems later retracted this statement and apologized.
Over two dozen students who spoke with Spectator cited Columbia's politically correct culture as a factor in preventing open discourse, creating a stigma that leaves students unable to enter into productive conversation if they don't share the majority point of view.
"People think you're either politically correct and you're liberal, or you're conservative and you're evil," Sam Shih, BC '20, said.
This culture can hinder conversation both in and out of the classroom. Students have expressed fear of speaking up in class because they might unintentionally offend others, or even have their academic standing called into question, by stating something that is not politically correct.
"The Columbia-Barnard community does lend itself to being a little bit more PC, so people are afraid of making mistakes while learning," Sara Morales, BC '21, said in a November interview.
Within the classroom context, the University Senate has sought to alleviate the restrictions of political correctness by drafting a resolution that reaffirms the University's support for academic freedom of speech. However, after months of debate, the Senate has still been unable to reach a consensus on this resolution due to the unclear definition of an "academic setting."
Though the resolution was first presented in October, the Senate unanimously agreed to postpone the vote for a third time until the February plenary, showing the difficulty in addressing issues of free speech faced even by the main governing body of the university.
Members of the faculty have also attempted to grapple with the issue. Some expressed similar sentiments as Bollinger, citing the University's duty to facilitate open conversation, particularly in seminars and discussion sections.
"One of the things I love about higher education is that it should allow a space for students to be radical, to think radical thoughts, imagine radical things, create radically. But it's also space where you run into others who disagree with you in equally radical ways," Islamic studies professor Hussein Rashid said.
However, students described being constantly aware of their remarks' potential to offend. Gabriela Martin, BC '20, said that, rather than be perceived as sympathetic to racist views, she avoided fully engaging in discussions during her Sociology of African American Life class.
"It was really tricky for me, because I was one of the handful of white students in the class. And it was really hard to speak up, because I never wanted to offend anyone. It was never my intention, but I wanted to learn," Martin said. "It literally took me months to get to speak up, because I was so nervous, because I didn't want to be misquoted and misunderstood."
However, Martin, like other students, still supports politically correct culture and recognizes its value in ensuring students are empathetic and considerate before speaking.
"It's really intimidating to ask these questions. If you know it's not malintent, part of learning is making mistakes and picking at things in your brain you need to learn more and explore more about," Martin said.
Student organizations with oppositional political stances rarely work together to host joint events that integrate and allow for varying viewpoints. Despite Columbia being home to over 40 clubs that fall under the umbrella of politics and activism, only one event was held last semester between organizations of opposing political views, a debate hosted by the Columbia Political Union in September.
"We have all these niche clubs that are acting with a single mindset. We have all these resources. Why not bring them together?" Tina Simpson, BC '19, said.
Though Columbia's politically correct environment can prevent students from engaging in conversation, changes in campus culture with the intention of understanding can improve the quality of discussion. Open discourse in which oppositional perspectives are placed in conversation can serve as an effective way of promoting such changes.
"Free speech gives a platform for useful discussion, and restricting what people can say is just going to bury significant issues underground. It's much better to confront the issue," Harry Finegold, CC '21, said.
For its part, CUCR plans to continue bringing conservative speakers onto campus. In the coming months alone, it will invite former members of Trump's administration including Anthony Scaramucci alongside others that are likely to reignite the controversy of its more recent speakers.

Physical Education Newsletter – November/December 2016
Greetings from the FS Physical Education Department!
In November, we played badminton for several weeks. Students were introduced to the underhand serve, overhead shots, delicate drop shots and high, clearing shots. We did focused practice on a specific shot each day, and then tested our skills against different opponents. At times, students were allowed to decide between a friendly rally or a competitive match with their opponents. Throughout the unit, they played singles, doubles and king/queen of the court, changing opponents frequently in each class.
Badminton is a very user-friendly racket sport that allows for multiple shot rallies, even for beginners. Students can experience success right away, and learn to keep the birdie in play with their hitting partner. It's a great student and family activity to do over the summer, in the park or backyard!
December 2016
Near the end of the badminton unit we started to introduce different jump rope styles. We warmed up with jump rope and then played badminton for the second half of class. During the winter concert week we were doing jump rope full time as we shared our space with the music department.
Short jump rope was first on the agenda as we worked on one and two touch, and then added more complex tricks such as backwards, one foot, double-unders, double side swings and cross-overs. Other styles that we covered were partner tricks, long jump rope, Chinese jump rope and helicopter. Many students enjoyed them all but most had a definite favorite. Jumping rope is a great fitness activity and a traditional play activity in many cultures. You can jump alone or with friends, and incorporate challenges or jumping rhymes to add to the fun. With the mild weather, there is still plenty of time to enjoy jump rope outdoors this season!
Greetings from the FS Physical Education Department!
This year we have three PE teachers at the Field School. I am here full time, Ms. Chartier teaches 5th grade classes on Wednesday morning, and Mr. McCarthy teaches 4th grade classes on Friday afternoon.
Our main curriculum centers around movement. We reinforce and further develop the moving skills of walking, running, skipping, galloping, sliding, jumping, hopping and leaping. We introduce and review manipulative and sports skills such as throwing, catching, striking, bouncing kicking and rolling. These skills are developed through practice with a partner and then applied in active small and large group games. Specific units of gymnastics, rhythms/dance and jump rope round out our curriculum.
While we are educating the physical body, we are also working on social and emotional skills. Our published list includes respect, responsibility, honesty, integrity, kindness and control. We discuss how these attributes come up in class situations every day. Students are expected to work cooperatively with a partner, and as a reliable and supportive teammate in a small or large group activity.
We started the year with units of cooperative games and then kicking/soccer skills. We just finished up our Fall fitness testing. We use the FitnessGram test to help students evaluate their own fitness level. At the Field School, we test muscular strength and endurance with the push-up and curl-up tests, and cardio-vascular endurance with the pacer test. These tests, will be repeated in the spring to track progress, and are done each year at the Middle School and High School. We also check flexibility in the Spring with the sit-and-reach test.
We just started field hockey/striking this week.
Please check with your child about their experience in Physical Education. One of our main goals is to promote a healthy and active lifestyle. You can help them along the way. You can also help your child remember sneakers on PE days!

We had a lively night on education on KET yesterday with myself and Wayne Lewis, Commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Education; Brigitte Blom Ramsey, executive director of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence and Eric Kennedy, governmental relations director for the Kentucky School Boards Association.
Topics ranged from the 30th year anniversary of the famous Rose V. Council for Better Education Kentucky Supreme Court Case that brought us KERA to modern issues like teacher incentive pay and concerns about Kentucky's proposed revision to its social studies standards.
This link should get you to the broadcast.
Over the next few days I will be following up with comments there wasn't time to make on air.
I'll start right out today regarding a comment from show host Renee Shaw that starts about 7 minutes and 15 seconds into the broadcast. She says Dr. Richard Day (from EKU) told KET that even though per pupil expenditures aren't at the 1980s level, it's approaching it.
I don't know what Dr. Day is looking at, and going back to the pre-KERA era there aren't many sources to look at, but here is what I pulled about current per pupil education expenditures from several US Census Bureau publications (current expenditures generally reflect what impacts the classroom and do not include capital expenditures, for example, which can vary a lot from year to year).
The first column of numbers shows uncorrected, that year dollars. The far-right column shows expenditures in constant, inflation-adjusted 2017 dollars.
As you can see, even after adjusting for inflation, the latest available data shows Kentucky's current education expenditures are considerably higher than they were back in 1989, the year Rose was released.
Claiming we are approaching the pre-KERA level of funding again today seems alarmist and is just not correct.
Tech Notes:
The 1989 Census figure come from the US Census Bureau's "Public Education Finances 1989," Table 19. This is not available online and was obtained from the federal records repository at Northern Kentucky University's main library.
The 2017 data comes from the US Census Bureau's "Summary Tables, PUBLIC ELEMENTARY-SECONDARY EDUCATION FINANCES: FISCAL YEAR 2017," Table 11.
The 1989 per pupil expenditure figure was adjusted to constant 2017 dollars using the Bureau of Labor Statistics' CPI Inflation Calculator.

Las Vegas, NV – During his concert at Drai's in Las Vegas on Sunday night (September 4), Meek Mill brought out Kevin Hart for an impromptu rap battle with the comedian's Hip Hop alter ego, Chocolate Droppa.
The two Philly natives went bar-for-bar onstage, with Meek Mill opening up the bout with: "Poppin' up on my stage I'm like, 'What is the odds?' / He must be on molly or somethin', look at his eyes."
Droppa hit back with a few punchlines of his own: "I looked at my nigga jeans I said, 'We been done with that' / Stop fuckin' wearin' pants that show your shape ain't shit / I look at you, I look at Nicki I say, 'Girl you too legit to quit."
This isn't the first time Meek Mill and Kevin Hart have battled against each other. Back in 2012, the pair went back-and-forth backstage during Meek's Dreams & Nightmares Tour spot at the House of Blues in Los Angeles.
While he's best known for being a comedian and movie star, Kevin Hart has been making notable inroads into the music industry over the past few months. Back in August, Hart's rapping alter ego Chocolate Droppa apparently inked a deal with Motown Records. At the time, Droppa announced that his debut album is set to arrive sometime this fall.

VISTA, Calif. -- A 4-year-old boy died Friday after an SUV hit him in front of a North County apartment complex.
Shortly before 11 a.m., a 66-year-old woman was driving a 2005 Honda CRV westbound in the 800 block of East Bobier Drive in Vista when she hit the boy, who was crossing the street midblock, according to sheriff's officials.
Paramedics airlifted the victim, who had severe head trauma, to Rady Children's Hospital, where he died.
No other injuries were reported. The driver was not believed to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs when she hit the child, police said.
Deputies closed the street between Anza Avenue and Calle Jules to through traffic to allow investigators to document the scene of the crash.
Anyone with information on the collision should call Deputy S. Gallagher with the Vista Patrol Station Traffic Division at 760-806-4220.

Interlude: A Brief History of the Empress Edaledalende Academy of Higher Learning at Ileltedez0
October 15, 2014 by Lyn Thorne-Alder
The Edally Academy was built in one of the so-called Empirates of Peace. The Emperor Elareltiendol was a scholarly, thoughtful man, allowed to be so in part because his grandmother, the previous Empress, had thoroughly devastated all of their enemies. The nation would have decades to rest while those foes caught their metaphorical breath.
Ileltedez was one of seven cities chosen for the honor of hosting an academy; only three of those original seven still stand.1
The Emperor named all of the schools after his ancestors, but Edaledalende received the dubious honor of being named after Elareltiendol's direct grandmother and predecessor. As such, the school has always had a martial bent to it, even when it is doing its best to blend in with the rare Empirates of Peace.
The school was originally formed in 740 R with one tower, but was later rebuilt as three and then nine towers as it expanded. It originally housed a very small number of students – nine per year – and almost all of those from Ileltedez and the cities directly to the north and south of it.
Indeed, part of the placement of the school was to be near but not within the Arran Cities: the three-metropolis grouping midway down the coast. The Arran Cities, both in 740 and in the "modern" 1650 R, retain elements of the culture of their founders, an unknown nation referred to only as Ara. The proximity of the school brought in many students from that region, helping to promulgate the ideas that Emperor Elareltiendol – and later his successors – wished to enforce.
This purpose of propaganda has thus always been a part of the school. A thousand years later, the Emperor's Offices of Education use Edally and the other Academies to ensure an even spread of certain ideas, even to the farthest reaches of the continent.
[1] Others were built in later years, bringing the total back to six in the era of this story. [2] Years are counted here from R, the discovery of Reiassan, for convenience's sake. The Calenyena count from the founding of their first Empire here, the Bitrani from their last dynasty.

In the Story
He starts showing his first signs of multiple personality disorder about a decade before the events of the story, when his village is destroyed by soldiers and its inhabitants are slaughtered out of cold blood. He avenges his village by killing the soldier, and due to the fact that he had never done such a thing in the past, his personality splits into two. Soon after, he joins the Band of Seven.
Following his resurrection, he finds work as a doctor in a village near Mt. Hakurei. The holy aura permeating the surrounding area keeps his evil side in check, and he becomes popular with the children of the village. He fears the sight of blood, which seems to awaken his evil side even when close to Mt. Hakurei.
In both the anime and manga, Suikotsu died after a battle with Kikyō and Sesshōmaru, the latter of which decided to fight him after he kidnapped and threatened to kill Rin. After suffering a fatal attack from Kikyo's arrow strike and regaining his good persona, he asks Kikyō to remove his jewel shard from his neck so that he can return to bones. Kikyo asked that Suikotsu wishes to choose death. Suitkotsu says he now remembers everything he had done and to prevent his evil persona ever taking over his consciousness he begs Kikyo to kill him. Sadly however, Jakotsu violently removes the shard instead and Suikotsu returned to his skeletal state. The good but unfortunate doctor finally found his peace in death.
- Suikotsu's final episode revealed that his dominant self was a killer who look like his "doctor" persona, which means he had three personalities. Two out of his three personas were cold-blooded killers.
- He's considered as the most sympathetic member in the Shichinintai.
- Ironically, his "doctor" persona was the most self-destructive part.

how to buy windows 10 home oem from microsoft? is their anyways?
At a store, you can buy an COEM dvd set, it's the OEM systembuilder edition, only to be used on one device.
But you do know windows 10 Home/Pro is handed out for free?
Website removed = EUR 11.99
Search on eBay, Amazon or many other websites
Upgrade from 7SP1 daz activated/8.1 KMS activated = 100% FREE
How to buy Windows 10 Home OEM from Microsoft? Is there any way?
Why Home (Core) ? X86 or X64 ?
You need to login to view this posts content.
if i upgrade from windows 7. what i get oragnizations lincense key or digital lincns?
You get a HWID for free if it were oemret installs. In an organization you probably run VL installs.
can you still upgrade from older versions to 10 for free? A refurbished pc came with an OEM license for win7. It actually has win10 preinstalled but not activated. I tried to activate it but can't anymore. Says I don't have the digital license. :"(
Yes, the free HWID by upgrade or genuineticket never ended.
To check what MSDM and or slic is inside the bios, you can use the Query Tool from the MRP thread,
iinstall Windows 7SP1 and activate using Daz loader then update to windows 10 will still give you a Genuine Licence or digital licence activation.

@PepsiCo Performance with Purpose campaign than in the last US presidential election." That nugget came out of the Sept. 26 panel on "How the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Creates Transparency & Shareholder Value" at the Commit!Forum at the Javits Center in New York City hosted by David Vidal, director of The Conference Board Sustainability Center. Those words actually came from a live Tweet from Entrepreneurs Foundation (@EFConnections) citing Michelle Greene, vice president and head of corporate responsibility at NYSEEuronext, who was on that panel, who declared that "sustainability is at the core of business strategy." If you take anything away from Greene's comment and Entrepreneurs Foundation's tweet, it should be that sustainability is here to stay. And the main reason for that is that Corporate America is "businessifying" sustainability and sustainability reporting. "We're seeing there's a lot more ROI for doing this [sustainability reporting]," Greene told the panel. "You can quantify the ways [companies are achieving sustainability] and you can see there is greater value placed on these issues. You are seeing the 'businessification' of sustainability." That last statement lit up the Twittersphere at the conference (#Commitforum) as Vidal pointed out the Dr. Seuss-like allusion. The point is that while sustainability has traditionally been confused with being green, it has grown to include corporate citizenship, philanthropy and a new global way of doing business. IdealistBiz IdealistNYC: UPS is rated #1 US company by carbon disclosure project. Tied w/three other bizes for #1 in world #commitforum. That tweet served as an introduction, of sorts, for Steve Leffin, director of global sustainability at the global delivery company UPS during the Commit!Forum panel. "UPS is an engineering firm, always has been," Leffin said. "We like to measure things. We believe measurement comes before management. Measurement is best done when there's a structure. GRI provides some of that structure [for us]." Leffin, whose company has been an early adopted of GRI's sustainability reporting standards, said that UPS has started to see a return on the investment made in that area. "We got a 99 of out 100 on the CDP [Carbon Disclosure Project – an organization that measures climate change strategies of the largest U.S. corporations]," he said. "It's not about the score. It's about measurement. For example, we had a conversation about getting water off the roof [of a warehouse] and getting that into chillers [for our air conditioning unit.] "We also had Deloitte assure our [sustainability] report. We have a GRI letter of assurance. We have a process; we continue to evolve. You have to have a holistic concentration." MeganDeYoung1 Megan DeYoung: #commitforum NYSE: one of the challenges is to get metrics right. That tweet summed up another point made by Greene during the panel discussion. "We're seeing a mainstreaming of sustainability," she said. "Even though we have this [solid sustainability reporting], we still don't have the metrics right." That's an interesting statement when you consider that the NYSE Euronext announced in August that it became the first global exchange operator and technology provide to be carbon neutral. GRI, which was represented on the panel by its Chief Executive Ernst Ligteringen, recently put out for comment its latest iteration of its reporting standards (G4), which you can read about here. The Sustainability Reporting Framework provides guidance on how organizations can disclose their sustainability performance. It consists of the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, Sector Supplements and the Technical Protocol -- Applying the Report Content Principles. The G4 standards are due to be published in 2013. The Conference Board Chief Environment, Health, and Safety Officers' Council just this week released a Council Perspectives report, Environmental, Health, Safety, and Sustainability Governance: What a Difference a Few Years Can Make. [It is available free to members of The Conference Board by clicking here.] That report, which is based on a three-year survey from 2008-2010, shows that executive management attention and funding for environmental, health, safety, and sustainability (EHS&S) governance have grown markedly. Also, The Conference Board Sustainability Center is about to issue a report called Sustainability Matters. [To receive a copy of that report, drop me an email at email@example.com]Consider the following when your board next discusses sustainability: "More votes cast in

I Thought This Generation was Good with Computers

Good with PLAYING on the computers... not handling them. hehe.
Once when I wasn't home Kienna (who was about 6 at the time) decided to carry my laptop upstairs from downstairs. She tripped up the stairs and broke my screen. Knowing it was an accident, I wasn't mad at her, although I was irritated that I couldn't use my computer. So, I implemented a new rule - which I had previously assumed was a mutual understanding, but I guess not - and that was that none of my children were allowed to carry the laptops anymore. If they wanted to use them, they would ask and I would set it up for them at a table or desk and when they were done they were to tell me and I was the one who shut it down. We didn't have any problems after that.
Maybe you'll get a sweet tax return? Or perhaps there will be an awesome Black Friday sale?

I'm so sorry! Atleast andrew didn't mean to.
I'd like to correct my mom -
I was in Funnyman's room (who has a hard tile floor) and I had the laptop on my lap. I told him to grab the laptop so I could sit up and go upstairs. Thinking he had grabbed the laptop, I started to stand up when it had fallen on the floor and it broke.

Great work by Chris Weisenborn and Jody Luttrell and important information on student enrollment and the August 27 board meeting.
Dear All & Happy Friday!
Again this year I plan on giving weekly updates. I might investigate some different formats for this communication, but my goals are the same and clear: to cheer on the great work we are doing; to challenge us all to pause and reflect; and to give you concise, clear, and pertinent information.
- Chris Weisenborn - Congrats on being selected to join the Illinois Music Education Association Clinician Network. This network is comprised of outstanding music educators from across the state to collaborate and deliver music education specific professional learning content. Christopher will be pare of a network that will make a large impact on music classrooms across the state this year...so that's pretty cool! Way to go!!
- Flexibility, Fun, Faith - Thank you to EVERYONE for a great opening to the school year...I am witnessing such a supportive and team effort related to the "trying to get settled in" theme of starting a school year. The connections you are starting with the kids and our families are very impressive. I have also seen a lot of planned fun! I am especially appreciative for your understanding and patience when it comes to the new copiers system and Skyward. It is very upsetting to me that we have so many glitches with our new systems and I apologize for all the inconveniences. While I anticipated some of this it is way more than I envisioned. Please know we are addressing each situation that comes up as aggressively as possible and I am monitoring our progress. I will continue to have Faith that our changes will make us better and stronger as a district.
- Jody Luttrell - I was mistaken in our opening meeting not to call out the contributions Jody gives with all things transportation. Under normal circumstances, the transportation demands on schools is basically a zoo. So when you add the complications of the first week of school and adding an additional Pre-K section with midday runs, it is like a zoo on steroids. Jody handles it all with a "do what it takes" caring attitude and it is much appreciated!
- I have often regretted my speech, never my silence. -Publilius Syrus
- Be good to people for no reason.
- "Don't wish it was easier; wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems; wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges; wish for more wisdom."
Need to Know
- Fall 2018 Maroa-Forsyth Education Foundation Grants - Attached are the forms you need to complete if you would like the Foundation to possibly fund a project for your classroom. The applications are due Wednesday, September 12th.
- Illinois State Graduate Tuition Waiver, One Credit Hour - We have received 1 Hour of free graduate credit to ISU. If you are interested please contact me (first come first serve).
- School District Satisfaction Survey for Staff - We are still looking for 10 people to serve on our strategic planning team in October...it is critically important that we have staff representation on this team...please seriously consider it and email me if interested. Just as important, you need to have a voice on our future whether you are on the team or not. So, please, please click on this link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/mtfstaff and fill out the staff satisfaction survey. The data from this survey will be analyzed by the strategic planning team to determine the future direction of our school district. Survey completion is due Friday, September 21st. You might have noticed a community/parent survey has also been made available on our website. If you are also a community/parent member you can fill out both surveys (mainly same questions) but can maybe answer slightly different based on all the roles you have. I can't emphasize enough...we need everyone's input!
- Teachers Contract 2018-2022 - The final copy has been completed so we've attached it for your reference. It can also be found along with many other staff forms in the footer of the district website under "Helpful Links - Staff."
- School Board Meeting Agenda & Packet, Monday, August 27 - While also on the website, attached for your reference.
- Student Enrollment 2018-19 - In case you are curious, our 6th day count is at 1209 for the entire district (562 GS, 258 MS, 389 HS). That is up 19 students from last year...and in looking at past reports going back 20 plus years it is the 2nd highest total for the district (2016-17 had 1219). From last year: HS down 10, MS down 15, GS up 42. Largest class: 9th at 102. Smallest class: 2nd at 65. Obviously, adding the 2nd Pre-K section should be taken into consideration when comparing to other years.
In closing, for so many reasons what an exciting time of year it is...we have 11 student teams/groups launching their seasons this month...best of luck to ALL and thanks to all the coaches and sponsors for their dedication and talents...best wishes for truly "magical" seasons!
Take Care,

Dolomite and its potential use in producing unfired construction material
Kiều Quý Nam, Nguyễn Ánh Dương, Phạm Như Sang, Nguyễn Thế Hậu
Based on theories about the structure, mineralization composition and existence forms of dolomite (fine grain and solid rock), authors assumed that although dolomite is affected in alkaline environment (CaOH)2 but on the other hand crushed granules of dolomite are capable of absorbing (CaOH)2 and it was proved by certain experiments obtained with granular crushed dolomite in Lũng Pô (Yên Bái) area. The authors determined possibility of using crushed dolomite to produce unfired construction material in similar such as Hà Nam, Ninh Bình and Yên Bái.

Scientists have discovered evidence for a past ice age in the northern polar ice cap of Mars by analyzing radar images like the one at top of this montage. NASA/JPL-Caltech/Sapienza University of Rome/Handout -
An analysis of radar images that peered inside the polar ice caps of Mars shows that Earth's neighbor is coming out of an ice age that is part of an ongoing cycle of climate change, scientists said on Thursday.
The Martian ice began its retreat about 370,000 years ago, marking the end of the last ice age, according to the research published in the journal Science.
Using images taken by satellites orbiting Mars, the researchers determined that about 20,872 cubic miles (87,000 cubic km) of ice has accumulated at its poles since the end of the ice age, mostly in the northern polar cap.
Scientists are keenly interested in piecing together the climate history of Mars, which contains strong evidence that oceans and lakes once pooled on its surface, bolstering the prospects for life.
Scientists can now use the new ice measurements in computer simulations to more accurately model the Martian climate, said planetary scientist Isaac Smith of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, who led the study.
"Previously those models were unconstrained by observations so they started with guesses. Now they have more to run on," Smith said.
The study also was the first to tie a specific layer of Martian ice with a specific period of time. "Eventually we'd like to be able to do this for every layer," Smith said.
From the perspective of an Earthling, every day on Mars may feel like an ice age. According to NASA, temperatures on Mars may hit a high at noon at the equator in the summer of roughly 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius), or a low of about minus-225 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-153 degrees Celsius) at the poles.
Unlike Earth, ice ages on Mars occur when its poles are warmer than average and frozen water is more stable at lower latitudes. Transitions between lengthy climate phases can leave telltale features in the ice, the research showed.
For example, Smith and colleagues found dramatic slopes in layers of ice within the Martian northern ice cap. Other layers reveal ice flowing in reverse direction. The climate cycles are triggered by changes in Mars' orbit and tilt, which affect how much sunlight reaches the planet's surface.
The shifts are particularly dramatic on Mars because theplanet's tilt changes by as much as 60 degrees, compared to variations in Earth's tilt of about 2 degrees.
SwRI scientists discover evidence of ice age at martian north pole
San Antonio, Texas — May 26, 2016 — Using radar data collected by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a Southwest Research Institute-led team found evidence of an ice age recorded in the polar deposits of Mars. Ice ages on Mars are driven by processes similar to those responsible for ice ages on Earth, that is, long-term cyclical changes in the planet's orbit and tilt, which affect the amount of solar radiation it receives at each latitude.
"We found an accelerated accumulation rate of ice in the uppermost 100 to 300 meters of the polar cap," said Dr. Isaac Smith, a postdoctoral researcher at SwRI and lead author of a paper published in the May 27 issue of Science. "The volume and thickness of ice matches model predictions from the early 2000s. Radar observations of the ice cap provide a detailed history of ice accumulation and erosion associated with climate change."
Like Earth, modern-day Mars experiences annual rotation and seasonal cycles, as well as longer cycles, that influence the distribution of ice. However, these longer cycles might be more pronounced on Mars. This is because Mars' tilt changes substantially — by as much as 60 degrees — on timescales of hundreds of thousands to millions of years. By comparison, the Earth's tilt varies by only about 2 degrees over the same period. On Mars, this greater variability determines the amount of sunlight reaching a given spot on the surface and thus the stability of ice at all latitudes.
"Because the climate on Mars fluctuates with larger swings in axial tilt, and ice will distribute differently for each swing, Mars would look substantially different in the past than it does now," said Smith. "Furthermore, because Mars has no oceans at present, it represents a simplified 'laboratory' for understanding climate science on Earth."
Detailed measurements of ice thickness show that about 87,000 cubic kilometers of ice have accumulated at the poles since the end of the last ice age about 370,000 years ago; the majority of the material accumulated at the martian north pole. This volume is equivalent to a layer of 60 centimeters if spread uniformly across the surface. These results provide a means to understand the accumulation history of the polar deposits as related to Mars movements, such as orbital eccentricity, axial tilt, and rotation around the Sun. The results will support modeling efforts to understand the martian climate, looking at the movement of ice from poles to mid-latitudes during climate cycles.
"Studying ice on Mars also is important to the future of human exploration of the Red Planet," said Smith. "Water will be a critical resource for a martian outpost."
"An ice age recorded in the polar deposits of Mars" is published in Science. This work was funded by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter project.
Combining Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter radar data with images of Mars' north pole, a Southwest Research Institute team found evidence for an ice age on the Red Planet. This mosaic image, produced with the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard ESA's Mars Express (MEx) spacecraft, shows spiral features that were used in interpreting the climate signal of ice age advancement and retreat. This image was cropped from a two-image true-color mosaic acquired by HRSC and specially processed by Dominik Neu and Patrick C. McGuire from the Freie Universität Berlin and the MEx/HRSC teams for this release.

Mars is emerging from an ice age
Radar measurements of Mars' polar ice caps reveal that the mostly dry, dusty planet is emerging from an ice age, following multiple rounds of climate change. Understanding the Martian climate will help determine when the planet was habitable in the past, how that changed, and may inform studies of climate change on Earth. Models have suggested that Mars has undergone ice ages in the past, but empirical data to confirm this has been sparse. Here, Isaac Smith and colleagues used radar to analyze layers of ice within the planet's polar ice caps, using the Shallow Radar instrument onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. As ice erodes, wind can create spiral troughs and other distinct features. Tracing the layers of these features within the ice can reveal changes in ice accumulation and flow - and thus changes in climate - in the past. While the southern ice cap is relatively small and altered by meteorite impacts, the researchers were able to trace the layers within the northern ice cap. They found layers and migration paths that increase in slope abruptly, reverse direction, or are completely buried. Their analysis suggests that the planet is currently emerging from an ice age, in a retreat that began approximately 370,000 years ago.

Bus services into Liverpool City Centre are changing
Liverpool City Centre is currently undergoing significant improvements as part of Phase One of Liverpool City Council's City Centre Connectivity Scheme. It aims to make the city a cleaner, greener, more attractive place where walking and cycling are more viable choices to get around with reduced car and bus traffic. This will be achieved by improving the public realm and changing how traffic moves through the city.
One of the consequences of this scheme is that many of the bus services which travel to and from Liverpool (including those travelling from various parts of Knowsley) may have their routes into and out of the City changed from January 2020. In some cases, road alterations which have already commenced may result in similar changes.
Bus services will generally split into north/south termination and starting points, with Queen Square and Liverpool ONE bus stations, and the areas around them, the main alighting and boarding points. For those who need it, a free, cross-city bus shuttle will run every six minutes between Queen Square and Liverpool ONE bus stations, with stops at key locations.
KOPV have produced a document summarising how each of the bus routes serving Kirkby, Huyton, Prescot/Whiston, Halewood, and Stockbridge Village will be affected – click here

For every 5 posts that I see someone praise vaping, I see a comment or a post about someone complaining that vapers are acting like douchebags. We're all vapers. But we're not all the reasons for these complaints. However, in the eyes of someone that has had a bad experience with a vaper, we are all the same. It's classifications like this that touch on so many different levels. Racism. Sexism. Religion-ism? So is there such thing as Vapism?
I suppose there is to those who have had the bad vaper experience.
A couple friends, myself and my girl went to a local Hooters one time last year. Hooters is vape friendly. They don't care if you vape, cuz you're probably buying 400% marked up beer. We, all advanced vaporizer users with rebuildables and higher power devices and mechanicals, were sitting at a table together. Two tables away, there was a group of 5 or 6 guys, one of which was vaping. He had an iTaste VV stick battery and probably an iClear16. He was going out of his way to "blow clouds", undoubtedly wishing that someone would say "Hey man, that's cool." Here we were, 12 feet away and could literally between the 4 of us, cloud out the side of the restaurant but all of us were stealth vaping in a vape friendly environment.
Stealth Vaping? Stealth vaping is taking a smaller drag, lower power, etc and holding it in after a double inhale. The vapor dissipates in your lungs and the exhale, if you did it right looks like nothing at all. Unless you still open your mouth like you're gonna dragon cloud… then you just look like this…
The point is that you don't have to show off at every point in your day-to-day journey. You can be civil with your vaping. Because you represent all of us. You do something bad and it makes all vapers bad. So, to this point, I've developed a bit of a Code of Ethics of Vaping.
1.) Do Not Shun Smokers. For majority of us, we were them at one point. We had that same addiction and if you've ever, as a smoker, been addressed by a non-smoker in the "Why don't you quit that nasty habit" way, you know exactly how it feels. We don't want to condone smoking, as we've risen above it. But we don't want to condemn them either. Don't scoff at smokers. Educate them. Don't look down on them. Help them rise above.
2.) Do Not Vape Where You Wouldn't Be Able To Smoke. Now, this one will probably catch me some heat, but Walmart, Food City, Red Lobster and other establishments DO NOT WANT YOU TO VAPE THERE. That means you should say "Ok." and wait until you get outside. Do not challenge them. It's their house, their rules. Be courteous. If you are going to have an extended stay at some place, and cannot excuse yourself to vape somewhere, simply ask the establishment. If they say no, then don't. Don't bitch and complain and boycott and try to start a movement against them. Just wait.
3.) Be Knowledgeable If You Speak. Misinformation campaigns are taking place from the CDC, various Departments of Health, the FDA and ANTz. They don't need help. Do not back down if someone questions part of vaping you don't understand, but use that as a springboard to find more information for yourself and your detractors. Spouting off "I heards" is just as bad as what these anti-vaping organizations are doing. If you don't know, find out. If no one you deal with knows, find someone that does. There are plenty of websites out there that address concerns, link to studies, explain the facts, etc. We live in the Information Age. "I don't knows" and "I thinks" are things of the past.
4.) Do Not Look Down On Others. This is a golden rule. Do unto others… However, the vape community constantly evolves and some people are able to keep on the cutting edge of the technology. They'll have a new device every week. A tank that you've never seen. A RDA that you've only heard about. Their vape gear may cost more than some people's first cars. But YOU AND THEY ARE EQUALS. Vice-versa. You may have the biggest, baddest, best setup money can buy. That doesn't mean you can scoff at someone still using a Vivi Nova and a Vision Spinner. Be proud of your setup, but don't be a douche about it. Remember where we all started.
5.) Support Shops That Support Advocacy. This might be the most important part of this whole thing. The others are irrelevant if vaping is taken away by the government. The TSFA ( http://www.tnsmokefree.org ) have proven that lobbying by a smaller group is possible. Member shops pay a yearly fee that goes to pay for a lobbyist as well as promotional information. No one makes a dime off of the TSFA. The people that run it do it for free, while maintaining their own jobs and lives. They do it because they see the need. They see the results. When a shop refuses to participate in advocacy groups like these, they are saying that they don't care what the long term is, they're simply making money while they can. The local shops that do support it, want to be around in 10 years or more. They want to continue to help people kick the habit and switch to a healthier lifestyle. People selling on EBay, people doing group buys, people selling from their houses, all of these people are doing nothing but making as much money as they can before the big foot comes down and stomps out vaping. And, sure, you'll always be able to find most items in a store online for cheaper. The guy that sells his stuff out of his house is going to beat everyone's prices, but they are nothing but parasites of our industry. Paying $5 more for an item to a store that supports advocacy helps to ensure that you'll be able to continue to buy new stuff. Vape store owners are not rolling in money. Trust.
If everyone followed these rules, the industry would be in much better shape. The War On Vaping is at hand. It will not be an easy fight. But everyone that follows these simple steps, aligns themselves as a soldier in the war. We Vape. We Vote. We Buy. We Pay. The government works for us. But if we allow it, they will work against us. In this, we are our own worst enemy.
Until next time…

Hello one and all.
Christmas eve is upon us, and all of the year's hard work is about to be abolished with obscene amounts of food. Om nom. This year, I decided to attempt some restraint and to not go too crazy! We'll have to see how that goes…
I've no idea how much I weigh today, I wasn't home this morning so I was away from my scales and whatnot. I can always weigh in tomorrow…What I do have for you, is the remainder of my goals:
Last Week's Goal: Eat within my calorie limit 6/7 days
Well…I'm telling you now it wasn't good.
I did: 2/7 Days
Yepp, told you it wasn't good. I wasn't over by a large amount each day, but it added up. most days it was only by 200-300 calories. Though there was an 800 somewhere too…
Too much temptation, too little willpower.
Last Week's Goal: Burn 1000 calories
I Did: 125 Calories, but over ate by 2800 calories – 125 / 3800
Ummm so that was pretty bad. Totting it all up like that really hits home and…it doesn't feel good. Bad me.
Last Week's Goal: Get 8 hours sleep 4 / 7 nights
I Did: 2 / 7 nights
Again, not good. I'm not sure how to improve on this other than to do absolutely nothing but go straight to be when I get home from work – which doesn't really seem plausible.
Goals for Next Week
Weight: 220 pounds (I know full well I will have put on weight, so I need to be back to 220 again by next week!)
Food: Eat within calorie limit 5 / 7 days
Exercise: Burn 1000 calories
Sleep: Get 8 hours sleep 5 / 7 nights
P.S. – Merry Christmas!

September 5 will mark 100 years since Chicago police officers and federal agents raided and pillaged the offices of the Industrial Workers of the World on West Madison Street. The CPD seized everything from political pamphlets to personal love letters as possible evidence of the Wobblies' attempts to sabotage American participation in World War I. In leftist circles, the fishing expedition for "evidence" of treasonous activities was seen as a pretext for dismantling an organization that was successfully unionizing workers around the country and threatening government and business interests. And the police were, as always, serving to protect those interests.
For the members of For the People Artists Collective the IWW raid of 1917 is a point of departure for an examination of a century of police violence in Chicago. FTP is seeking artists' proposals through September 3 for a monthlong show called "Do Not Resist? 100 Years of Police Violence in Chicago." The exhibition is slated to open January 12 at the Hairpin Arts Center in Logan Square with satellite exhibits at Uri-Eichen Gallery in Pilsen, and Roman Susan Gallery in Rogers Park. FTP is encouraging self-taught artists and black artists in particular to submit proposals, and the organization has created a time line of incidents of Chicago police violence for potential subjects or sources of inspiration; artwork related to events not included in the time line is also welcome.
The goal of the show is "to extend the conversations around police violence in our city," says Monica Trinidad, one of the cofounders of the collective. "Chicago has been in the headlines around Jon Burge torture and Homan Square, but we need to make the connections a bit deeper and go beyond these isolated incidents, to engage with Chicago's history of police violence in order to understand what's led us to our present circumstances. We really want to address the roots of police violence, how violence is inherent in policing." The organizers also intend for "Do Not Resist?" to uplift and honor the victims of police violence and their families.
Trinidad hopes that by curating artistic representations of key moments in Chicago's history of police brutality—whether through painting, photography, video installations, performance art, poetry, or sculpture—audiences will be better able to understand the ways in which police protection for some is built on violence against others, and might eventually imagine "new structures for community safety that aren't reliant on policing anymore."
"Do Not Resist?" extends the work of abolitionist artists and organizers who for years have sparked community conversations on alternatives to policing. Last year a group of activists, including members of FTP, camped out for more than a month on a vacant lot across the street from CPD's Homan Square facility to demonstrate abolitionist ideas in practice.
FTP was formed in December 2015 by artists who were also active in community-organizing efforts for racial and social justice. Since then they've created visuals for four large campaigns, including #ByeAnita, which was established to vote Cook County state's attorney Anita Alvarez out of office. FTP also collaborates with social-justice-oriented organizations that seek visual material, like banners or leaflets, to augment their efforts. The collective is encouraging artists to consider participating in the upcoming exhibition, even if contributors have never created work on a political topic before or have had a hard time connecting their artistic practice with their activism.
Ruby Pinto, an FTP member who also works for the IWW, can relate to the challenge. While she's made artwork for various organizations that approach FTP for help, the art she makes on her own—mostly glass and metal ornaments and jewelry—doesn't feel as politically engaged.
"I'm gonna really try to make space to reflect on whatever incident I will make art about," Pinto says. "I'm gonna have to sit with it for a while and really feel it before I know how to communicate that through art." She encourages others, who might doubt their ability to create work informed by such grim subject matter, to do plenty of reading and research and just "try to connect with the loss of life that occurred and try to uplift the people who were left behind by the loss of the person to police violence."
In addition to chronicling past instances of police violence, "Do Not Resist?" will include panel discussions with people who've either survived or organized against police brutality. Sections of the show will also feature artwork dedicated to resistance and action. "We want to give [audiences] something to leave with," Trinidad says, "what people can do to challenge police violence in Chicago."
