What is the Doctoral Colloquium?
The DC brings together PhD students working on topics related to the automotive user interfaces and interactive vehicular applications, providing them with an opportunity to present and discuss their research with their peers and senior faculty.
Each student will be allocated a 45-minute time slot, with 15 minutes for a presentation and 30 minutes for oral feedback by at least three senior faculty or researchers. The presentation will be intimate to encourage interaction, with only the session organizer, reviewers and other student DC presenters in attendance. Reviewer feedback will cover all aspects of their proposal (the choice of topic, how it is to be examined, etc.). Students are expected to attend all presentations in their session, take notes for their peers, and provide those notes to other students in their session. This year, we will make the 2017 DC a richer experience by (1) connecting PhD students before the conference, (2) using technology during the DC to document suggestions/comments from reviewers, and (3) organizing on-site networking events. The DC will take place on Sunday, September 24, 2017, prior to the start of the main conference program.
The topics of the AutomotiveUI'17 doctoral colloquium are identical with the main conference:
1) Devices & Interfaces for Vehicle Operation
2) Automation & Instrumentation (Automated Driving, Assistive Technology)
3) Evaluation & Benchmarking (Simulation, FOT, Naturalistic Studies)
4) Driver Performance & Behavior (Emotions, Intention, Distraction,…)
Eligibility, Submission, and Selection
The AutomotiveUI 2017 doctoral colloquium welcomes contributions from doctoral students currently registered in a PhD program. Ideal candidates should have worked on their dissertation for some months; they should have chosen a research topic and possibly have also made progress in identifying the relevant theories and their research plan.

Choosing a ceramic kitchen backsplash can be one of the more enjoyable tasks of creating a new kitchen or renovating an old one. Many, if not most homeowners choose a ceramic backsplash because it is both beautiful and versatile. Made of clay that is fired in a kiln at high temperatures, the tiles of these types of backsplashes are waterproof, very tough, durable and easy to clean. They also come in hosts of colors, patterns and textures that are bound to complement even the most far-out kitchen decor. Because the colors are baked in, they won't fade even in strong sunlight.
Should the Backsplash Go with the Countertop?
Some home decorating experts recommend that the homeowner match the backsplash to the countertop. This is simply because the countertop takes up much more space than the backsplash in most kitchens. Indeed, some homeowners base the entire look of their kitchen on their countertop, whether it is made of black granite, white marble, soap stone, travertine or tile.
Simple or Extravagant?
The original purpose of a backsplash is to protect the wall behind the counter, the sink or the stove. Because of this, some homeowners seek tile that is simple, such as subway tile made in one color. Other people want their backsplash to be an important part of the kitchen's look, so they choose tile with patterns such as flowers, diamonds, chevrons, quatrefoils and others. These patterns can be inspired by other areas of the kitchen, such as the floor tile, a pattern on a floor mat or kitchen chair cushion. Even the look of the burners on the stovetop can influence the look of the backsplash.
The one thing interior decorators warn against is for the counters and the backsplash not to clash. If one is busy, the other should be relatively simple. One tip is to take a sample of the countertop, and show it to a professional tiler. They can help the homeowner find the best ceramic tile backsplash to complement it.

text: Another "discovery" from Chapel-en-le-Frith parish register: "Upon March the 12 1716 there came a young girl about 13 years of age whose name was Alice Phenix who came to this town to ashop for half a stone of towe for her master being an apprentice with William Ward of the Peak Forest she went from this town in the evening and calld at Peter Downs house who lived then at Laneside then sent her away in good time to have gone home but she turned again and was found at the house where they were going to but Peter calld her in and sent her to bed with his daughter next morning calling her up very soon sent her away but as they were going to plow found her again and his son did chide her very ill and she seemed then to make hast home but sitting down between two rutts in George Bowdens part on Peaslowe sat there that day and next and Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Munday till noon two of which days the 15 and 16 was the most severe snowing and driving that hath been seen in the memory of man this girl was found about one a clock on Munday by William Jackson of Sparow pit and William Landin his neighbour in the forest they carried her to the same house back againe to Peter Downs house and after she had got some refreshment and a little warm milk could warm her self at the fire afterwards and could turn her and rub her legs with both her hands and after was carried to her masters house that night and is now well but a little stiff in her limbs but eat no meat these six days but was very thirsty and slept much". What was her story, I wonder? Why did she not want to go home? This one was spotted by me (and others before, no doubt) and was, I gather, put in print in 1898 in "Old English Social Life as Told by the Parish Registers" by Thomas Firminger Thiselton-Dyer. (Another one for the Unusual Names list!")

No to current ERCC plan to locate on school campus
There are two camps forming over the proposed Ely community recreation complex. Those who want it to be located on school grounds and those who want it anywhere but there.
We would propose a third camp be set up: Looking at options that enhance, not endanger the future of the school district and that strive to never use tax dollars to compete with private enterprise.
The Ely Regional Community Complex board seeks to develop a facility on the school campus that could be as large as 50,000 square feet and cost as much as $12 million. Of the $12 million, $5 million would come from state bonding money.
First, two reasons the school board should vote no.
1. The devil's in the details.
The school board has been asking for details on how the district would be impacted. They're still waiting for answers. Question number one: Who will own the facility? Crickets.
That's an important question because the answer carries a 37.5 year anchor. Bonding dollars carry more baggage than a 747. You want the money, you have to sign on the dotted line.
"A public entity that enters into a use agreement with a nonpublic organization for operation of a state bond-financed facility is ultimately responsible for the operation of that facility. Even if the nonpublic operator cancels or walks away from the use agreement, the public entity remains responsible for operating the public program."
Take the money and you take all that goes with it. No matter if it's the school, the city or the county (highly unlikely), a group of local taxpayers are on the hook for the next 37 years.
2. Free enterprise in a free country
There's also no room for government to trample on free enterprise. We have local business owners who have worked hard, paid their taxes and been a valuable part of the community. They have every right to continue to do so and not compete with an entity financed by tax dollars.
The ERCC plan calls for direct competition with several local businesses. The ERCC board knows they could kill these businesses but without that component, they can't get their numbers to work.
It's questionable that the numbers work anyway with a budgeted $190,000 per year loss. Back to the bonding language, if the ERCC board goes defunct, the owner (whoever that is) would be left holding the bag and paying the bills.
There's two reasons to vote no. The details are missing, meaning the board is being asked to buy a pig in a poke. And government needs to stay the hell out of private enterprise.
Now, how about that camp we were talking about earlier? Is there a way to improve our community without tearing it apart? We think the answer is yes.
First, Ely has been very supportive of our local school district. Every bond referendum has passed in recent history. If the board and administration present an issue to the public, even one that raises taxes, the public has continually voted yes.
Let's do that again. The administration and the board need to decide if more gymnasium space is needed. If the answer is yes, call your local engineer or architect, have some plans drawn up with an estimate attached. Run the numbers on the cost and present it to the voters. Problem one solved.
The issue of a swimming pool isn't so easy. Remember the anchor analogy? Apply that here. The district got out of the pool business years ago and even delayed the decision by purchasing a motorized cover system to try to save on the cost of heating the water.
Those costs haven't gone down and that's why there isn't a competition level pool here. Maybe the pool issue needs to be examined further. If the community can live with private enterprise doing the cardio and wellness areas and support more gym space at the school, perhaps the unknown donor would be in support of building a pool facility along with an endowment to foot the bill. Without tax dollars.
Maybe there's another solution out there nobody has thought of yet. We're willing to keep an open mind on this issue. We believe the school board and the ERCC board should do the same.

Noah's Ark Fund
Here is our anonymous donors story and our proposal for SP&HR:
My dad's name was Noah. He had an amazing love for animals. When I was a child in the 1950s, he took in and rescued any animal that needed care or needed a home. Not a foster home. A permanent home. He never ever turned any animal away. We didn't have much, but daddy always found a way to feed his animals. Mostly kitties. I learned care and compassion for animals from him. He always told me that it was really hard to like anyone who didn't love animals. I still agree with that. Daddy died 27 years ago, and the greatest gift he left me was his love for animals. I now have my five Persian cats, three of which are special needs. A lot of work goes into them, and they are worth every bit of it.
My husband and I would like to propose the following: We would like to set up a fund in honor and memory of my dad and call it Noah's Ark. Somehow that seems appropriate for a lot of reasons. For calendar year 2013, my husband and I will match any funds you raise, up to $5,000. That is potentially $10,000. I believe that will help some needy kitties.
It would mean a lot to me to set up Noah's Ark in memory of my dad. Thank you for everything you do.
SPHR has established a Noah's Ark Fund – Let's make it happen and raise $10,000 for needy kitties! Designate the fund as receipient of your tax deductible donation!
Checks can be mailed to:

rust plugin is useful for building Rust-based parts using the Cargo package manager to drive the build.
This plugin uses the common plugin keywords as well as those for "sources". For more information, see Snapcraft parts metadata.
Additionally, this plugin uses the following plugin-specific keywords:
rust-channel (string)
rust-features (list of strings)
rust-revision (string)
If a rust-toolchain file is detected, the toolchain it specifies will be used by default. However, if
rust-channel or
rust-revision are set, the rust-toolchain file will be overridden.
If neither a rust-toolchain exists nor
rust-channel or
rust-revision are set, the latest stable toolchain will be used.
See Rust applications for a simple example, or search GitHub for projects already using the plugin.
NOTE: There are significant bugs in the rust plugin when used with the legacy version of Snapcraft. To avoid these issues, ensure you're using Snapcraft 3.x and the base keyword in snapcraft.yaml. See the corresponding GitHub issue for more details.
This is a snapcraft plugin. See Snapcraft plugins and Supported plugins for further details on how plugins are used.

Mumbai: Defending champions Mumbai Indians and and two-time winners Chennai Super Kings, the most successful teams of the Indian Premier League (IPL), will begin the 11th edition of the cash-rich tournament with a mouthwatering clash at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. Hosts Mumbai, who have laid their hands on the coveted crown thrice (2013, 2015, 2017) will be led by India opener Rohit Sharma who is the most successful captain in the cash-rich T20 league having led Mumbai to a treble of titles. But on Saturday, his wards will be up against a team who will be eager to re-establish their dominance after returning to the tournament following a two-year ban.
CSK have a formidable track record in the IPL and have notched up the most number of appearances in the final. Apart from winning the title twice, they have finished runners-up on four occasions.
Chennai are led by India's 50-over and T20 World Cup winning captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who will himself have a point to prove in his twilight days. The southern outfit has a formidable batting and bowling line up with the likes of Suresh Raina, back in the Chennai Super Kings yellow jersey, South Africa captain Faf du Plessis adding teeth to their batting.
In the bowling department, England pacer Mark Wood and South Africa fast bowler Lungi Ngidi will lead the pace battery with veteran offie Harbhajan Singh and celebrated South African leg-spinner Imran Tahir taking care of the spin unit.
For Mumbai, apart from Rohit, all-rounder Hardik Pandya, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, West Indies star Kieron Pollard and Krunal Pandya have been retained from last year and are all a force to reckon with.
The Mumbai pace bowling department is also promising this year with the likes of Bumrah, Pat Cummins and Mustafizur Rahman.

Spenser Segal, CEO of ActiFi Inc., kicked off the FPA Business Solutions 2012 conference Sunday morning in San Francisco with these top 10 tech trends:
1. Increasing Technology Capability
Don't worry about processing power and bandwidth; worry about how you will take advantage of it.
2. Mobility
Tech tools will change the way you manage your business and interact with clients; client expectations of you will evolve. Segal informally polled the audience of about 300 financial planners, asking "How many folks do not have a smartphone?" Five people raised their hands.
3. Integrated Workstation
You can't look at technology in a vacuum; you have to consider how all software comes together to help you serve your clients.
4. Integration
Custodians and software vendors are investing millions on behalf of financial planners to look at integration. You don't want to be in the technology integration business, but you should be building relationships with your custodian to find out what they are doing for you.
5. Workflow
Software with built-in workflow is allowing advisers to systematize work.
6. Cloud-based Computing
The next time you are about to buy a server do a cost-benefit analysis and ask yourself: Do you want to be in the server maintenance business?
7. Outsourcing
There has been an evolution from TAMPS to portfolio management solutions. If it is not a core competency, if it does not add value, you need to look at outsourcing … that's how you build scale in your business.
8. Social Media
Social media is here to stay and will only become more prevalent; it's a basic expectation of the next generation.
9. Crowd Sourcing
Take advantage of crowd sourcing—where tasks traditionally performed by specific individuals are sourced to a group or community through an open call.
10. Big Data
With all this data out there—from your CRM to social media—how do you translate it into something you can actually use? Look for your B-D to begin using data to help you better understand your business.

Learning Objectives:
- Define seven senses, including the lesser-known senses of body position (proprioception) and the sense of balance and movement (the vestibular sense).
- Explain the benefits of sensory play for child development.
- Identify components of a play area that is accessible, inclusive, and welcoming for children of varied abilities, and which will offer opportunities for supporting sensory and motor development, as well as facilitating positive social communication and active participation.
- Specify playground equipment that creates sensory development opportunities for all children.
Describe several case studies illustrating how the landscape architect/designer specified playground layout and equipment to serve the needs of all children.
Course Description:
In this course, we explore the seven human senses and the real-life impact that active sensory experiences have on children. We will examine the sensory benefits that well-designed playgrounds offer children of varied abilities, and educate architects and designers how to create safe play spaces that amplify these benefits. Finally, this course demonstrates how a playground designed to provide positive sensory stimulation offers developmental benefits to children of all abilities, including those with autism and other sensory integration issues.
View the course PDF, then take the quiz.
If interested in taking the course in person, contact your local representative.

I was out last week when the Zune was officially announced so I assume most of you have read about it by now. If not, head over to the Zune Virtual Pressroom for the facts.
Some of my initial reactions:
- My fourth gen iPod Photo has been a bit flaky lately with lockups and trouble connecting to iTunes. This might be my replacement.
- I like the bigger video screen, although I just got a Q and I can watch videos on that. I'm not sure having two video devices will be a big selling point.
- I want to get one in my hands. One of the key features of the iPod was it's build quality, ease of navigation, and scroll wheel. If the Zune can meet/exceed those expectations then I'm happy.
- Brown? Did I miss something? I guess I'm too old to understand. I'll take black please. And while we're talking about color, why does the white Zune have a black click wheel?
- The FM radio is a nice touch, but I don't see myself using it often.
- We need a compelling PC side to this story. iTunes isn't perfect but it "just works." I want a program that lets me pull down podcasts and easily manage 30GB of music files.
- Wifi has potential, but I don't think they are using it well yet. I'll never use the existing wireless feature set. Give me internet access so I can stream from my home computer and then you'll be onto something.
I think that last bullet point is the future of this market. Except for planes, subways, and areas of bad reception, most of my future music listening will be streamed from my home computer. Why do I need to have multiple copies of every song on different devices? With my Q I can just connect to my home PC and stream my full collection without having to worry about local storage.

We visited my FIL again tonight but hubby did not able to do the things that Dad needs help with. I think he will do it tomorrow. He has to fix something from the gutter of the house. I don't think he would need a timing pulley but Dad said that he put the things that he needs in the garage. My FIL has been cleaning his house lately. He is trying to get rid of stuff that he doesn't need anymore. I hope that Dad will live a lot longer so the kids can still enjoy his company. He is turning 90 this year.

"The overriding challenge for our generation is to build a new economy–one that is powered largely by renewable sources of energy, that has a much more diversified transport system, and that reuses and recycles everything." –Lester R. Brown, Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization
China installed a world record amount of solar photovoltaics (PV) capacity in 2013. While this was the first time the country was the number one installer, China has led all countries in making PV for the better part of a decade. China now accounts for 64 percent of global solar panel production—churning out 25,600 megawatts of the nearly 40,000 megawatts of PV made worldwide in 2013—according to data from GTM Research.
Five of the top 10 solar panel manufacturing firms in 2013—including Yingli at the top and runner-up Trina—were Chinese companies. Coming in third was Canadian Solar, which produces 90 percent of its modules in China. Two Japanese companies and one each from the United States and Germany rounded out the top 10. (See data.)
As demand for increasingly affordable solar power continues to climb around the world, GTM Research projects that China's annual solar panel output will double to 51,000 megawatts by 2017, representing close to 70 percent of global production at that time. Beijing no doubt had such a quick industry ramp-up in mind when in May 2014 it announced a new national PV capacity goal: 70,000 megawatts of installed PV by 2017, up from 18,300 megawatts at the end of 2013. To put that in perspective, if it meets that goal China will add more solar electricity-generating capacity in four years than the entire world had in place in early 2011.

A 21-year-old man was jailed on suspicion of murder Saturday in connection with the fatal shooting of a Navy man who stopped to assist a seemingly stranded motorist on Interstate 15, San Diego police said Sunday.
Brandon Acuna, who was taken into custody and questioned shortly after the shooting, was later arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder and burglary. San Diego police Lt. Anthony Dupree declined to specify Acuna's level of involvement in the killing, adding that others may have been involved in the Saturday shooting.
The victim, 21-year-old Curtis Adams, was with his girlfriend when they spotted a man standing next to a white vehicle on the shoulder of the freeway near Interstate 5 on-ramp about 2:20 a.m., Dupree said.
The couple pulled over to help. When Adams exited his vehicle, he was immediately shot.
The shooter got back in his vehicle and fled south.
Soon after, California Highway Patrol officers put out an alert that a similar vehicle was stopped on northbound I-5 near 32nd Street. A man was also seen walking away from the vehicle.
Officers found the man on Newton Street, later identified as Acuna, and he was taken into custody.
Investigators also suspect Acuna was involved in a second shooting that occurred about 10 minutes before the slaying of Adams. In that incident, police said a man was shot at after interrupting suspects who were breaking into his vehicle on Boundary Street in the community of Mount Hope.
Detectives are working to determine who else was involved in that incident, and everyone's level of involvement, including Acuna's.

Natick High School looks at a competitive athletic program and rigorous academic program as mutually re-enforcing. Our Athletic programs are an extension of the academic day where our coaching staff embraces the responsibility of challenging and developing players, both technically and emotionally, in a positive manner, using both praise and constructive feedback. Coaches are encouraged to make praise personal and criticism impersonal. Athletic participation is an extension of the student learning experience, and provides a unique opportunity for both physical and moral development.
As members of the Natick High School Athletic program, students and coaches are expected to demonstrate proper respect for each other, other teams, coaches, teammates, officials, spectators and equipment. Student-athletes and coaches are expected to exhibit the highest level of conduct, both on and off the playing field, as they are, at all times, representatives of their team, school and community. While winning is a natural goal in the pursuit of excellence and athleticism, the principles of good sportsmanship and enjoyment of competition take precedence at all times and enhance the educational value of contests.

Meet two very important people for me: Mr. & Mrs. Love. I have been blessed with great friends. They are both like family to me and my wife.
Today we had a small interview for the Annual Report for Park University and I used this occasion to take their Fall photos.
We had a great time and the timing was perfect. The shots were made around 5:30 pm when some beautiful golden light was coming through this superb tree located in Mr. Love's driveway.
The rest of the photos were made indoors with a bit of help from a strobe aimed at the ceiling.
I'm really happy with the results. The fact that we're such good friends made a difference, it has opened them up. Often times a photographer has to be a good psychologist. The camera looks both ways! A stiff photographer will produce a stiff expression from his subject... Anyway, that's my piece of wisdom for the day.
Enjoy the photos and catch you up later.

text: bradboyd80 Posted May 12, 2014 Who cares that they used a 7th rounder - 228 on a kicker? Some people are reacting like he was drafted in the 2nd. It might turn out to be a great pick. I don't believe people are mad that we used a 7th rounder on a kicker. It's the fact that many believed there were better options available at that spot, and that he would be available as an UDFA; so they feel it was a wasted pick. You draft players who you believe will make the team and sign UDFA for competition. And many think we did that backwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loving Lily was written by Myself on 20th March 2013. Any similarity to any other tag or tutorial is co incidental.
Supplies Needed
Tube of choice. I have used the Beautiful Artwork of Jessica Dougherty available from CDO HERE
Gorgeous FTU Scrap Kit 'La Vie En Rose' by Mirella @ A [Space] Between HERE
Plug In's Used
Mura's Meister - Copies
PhotoEffex - Scanlines
Open a new image 700 x 700. Paste element 2 Oval frame as a new layer. Re size 80%. Using raster deform tool. stretch out the sides to make it more circular.
Duplicate. Close copy off for now we will use this later. Working on our original. Select all and float. Add a new raster layer and flood fill with a colour taken from your tube. Select None.Change blend mode to overlay then merge layer down and drop shadow.
Paste element 54 flower and re size 50 %. Apply Mura's copies settings below and once encircled re size layer 112%. Again duplicate and close visibility of copy. Move layer down in palette so that its above closed frame copy.Working on original, change hue and saturation levels with colorise on this layer so its similar coloured only slightly lighter than your frame. Drop shadow.
Close Visibility of original frame and floral layer and open the copies. Merge the 2 layers and resize to 105%. adjust gaussian blur by 5 and apply Photoeffex - Scanlines, settings below. Adjust opacity to 60%. Re open all layers.
Paste element 32 flowers re sized 40%. Apply mura's copies with same settings as before. Once encircled re size layer 90% and drop shadow twice.
Paste your tube and position centrally. Use eraser on low opacity to neaten around the bottom. Don't worry too much about this as elements will disguise it. Duplicate your tube, drop shadow original. Apply gaussian blur at 3 and change blend mode to soft light on the copy.
Paste desired elements from your kit and drop shadow to your liking... I used
Element 53 leaves. Re size 50%. Placed bottom left of frame. Duplicate and change blend mode to screen to lighten.

Cytosol is the fluid that's found inside living cells. More specifically, it's the water-based fluid in which organelles, proteins and other structures of the cell live. Also known as the cytoplasmic matrix, it constitutes most of the intracellular fluid (ICF). Cytosol is often confused with cytoplasm, however, which is an entirely different entity within a cell.
While cytosol refers to the water and anything soluble that is dissolved in it, such as soluble proteins and ions, the cytoplasm consists of cytosol and certain insoluble suspended particles (e.g., ribosomes).
Cytosol definition
As you may already know, the cell is the basic unit of life. Every living being in the world is made of billions upon billions of cells, which are responsible for a number of essential life processes. The function of these cells is determined by tiny organs (or organelles) that are present inside the cell.
Cytosol is a crucial cellular component that provides structural support for these organelles.
You see, a cell is like a plastic bag filled with fluid. The fluid it contains is the cytosol, while the bag itself is the cell membrane.
Cytosol structure
The majority of cytosol is water, which makes up nearly 70% of the total volume of a cell. While the pH of the intracellular fluid is 7.4, human cytosolic pH lies between 7.0-7.4, and is typically higher when the cell is growing. In addition to water, cytosol also consists of small molecules, dissolved ions and large water-soluble water molecules (e.g., proteins).
Note that the concentrations of the other ions present in the cytosol are different from those ions present in the extracellular fluid. In addition to that, higher amounts of charged macromolecules (e.g., proteins) and nucleic acids are present inside the cytosol than outside of the cell structure.
Cytosol functions
Interestingly, cytosol does not have a single, well-defined function; rather, it serves as a site for a number of intracellular processes (e.g., signal transduction – a cellular mechanism that converts a stimulus into a response within the cell, from the cell membrane to sites present within the cell).
A number of enzymatic activities require cytosol, as enzymes often require certain pH levels, salt concentrations and other environmental conditions that are appropriately fulfilled by cytosol. In addition to that, cytosol provides structural support to organelles. In fact, most cells depend on the volume of cytosol to make space for chemicals to move within the cell.
Cytosol vs Cytoplasm
Cytosol is often confused with cytoplasm, but these two are entirely different entities related to a living cell. While cytoplasm consists of all the contents found inside a cell (excluding the nucleus), cytosol is just the liquid or aqueous part of the cytoplasm. In other words, cytoplasm is the area of space outside the nucleus and consists of cytosol and other organelles.
It is important to note that cytosol is a critical element of the cytoplasm. In a prokaryotic cell, cytosol is the host of almost all chemical reactions and metabolic processes that take place within the cell. Also, cytosol is the site for cell communication, while cytoplasm plays host to certain large-scale processes, such as cell division and glycolysis.

Japan just posted its largest trade surplus in 5 years (+JPY243bn) as exports dropped 4% YoY (worse than expected) but imports fell 14.2% (better than expected). However, the biggest standout was the ongoing deterioration in Japanese exports to the US which dropped by the most since 2011 as the 'advantages' of a devalued currency appear to have hit their limit. Time for some more devaluation Abe... or Peter Pan(ic).
"The tailwind from the weak yen has gone. We can't help but hold a pessimistic view on the outlook for exports," said Atsushi Takeda, an economist at Itochu Corp. in Tokyo, said before the figures were released. "Domestic demand won't be dependable at all, and the same goes for exports. I can't deny the possibility of another economic contraction this quarter."

Insta HMS is one of the few systems available in the market that can address multi-center clinics and hospitals very easily. Following are some of our clients using Insta HMS in multi-center set up.
All the above hospitals and clinics use a single server to manage their entire network of centers. The server is either hosted by Insta Health on Amazon cloud services or they have their own server with dedicated VPN connectivity across the centers.
access the application using only those PCs or Tablets that have digital certificate installed in them. These certificates can be remotely terminated any time.
The main goal of network clinics or hospitals is to scale fast with superior controls. These chains expand fast by implementing standard processes across the centers and putting in good managers at the central office to monitor the performance very closely. This can be achieved only through superior IT solutions that aid in the management. Insta HMS is designed keeping in mind these trends.
Insta HMS provides two key features to address the issue of remote monitoring. One is ability to log into any remote center and view any specific data or process of that center. So, no data is hidden from the management. Second option is through the use of network reports. Insta Health provides performance data for all bills, patients, lab/radiology/services and inventory across all centers together into one common database. The corporate office can access this network database through report builder or Business Intelligence tool.
As mentioned above, scaling of chain of hospitals or clinics is crucial for success. Insta Health provides easy scaling options for these chains. The scaling is easy in Insta HMS as compared to other solutions because of following reasons.
With the option of remote access to the individual servers of local centers or through cloud based servers, it is very easy for corporate offices to come up with new schemes and rate plans and upload them into Insta HMS. We can also help in launching of schemes like Gold Card schemes for patients and provide the facility of coupons and accounting them.
In similar way, it is easy to centralize the insurance and payment processing too. With our remote access features, these are easy to do.
With the facility of remote access and cloud based servers, the management of Insta HMS application becomes that much easier. We can easily set up remote backup facility and remote monitoring of usage. The audit trail facility will give corporate administrators good handle on what is going-on in the individual centers.
Insta HMS is developed in Linux and open source database. The entire application runs with Firefox browser. It means that the centers need not buy any software licence and can work completely with open source systems for servers and even desktops. Our application can be used with Android tablets and we expect the prices of these to come down significantly in next few years. Overall this approach saves significant money in managing the chains of clinics or hospitals,
One of the value propositions of chain of hospitals or clinics is to let the patient get treatment from any of the network centers. By implementing complete EMR systems, hospital can access any clinical record of their patient from anywhere in the chain.

For centuries, mapmakers have labored to reproduce every physical nuance of our planet, from oceans to islands to those crusty cold poles.
But there's one cartographical caveat: If an island is particularly remote, it's exiled to a box in the corner of the map. And the box is typically placed wherever there's space for it — with nary a nod to accuracy.
Consider poor Alaska or perennially misplaced Hawaii on maps of the United States.
But one proud archipelago has had it with that geographical shortcut — and it's nae gonna take it any more.
The Shetlands, comprising about 100 small islands at the most northerly tip of the British Isles, has just made it illegal for their home be depicted in a box. Specifically, government bodies will no longer be allowed to fall back on the trusted box to suggest the Shetlands as some vague, faraway place.
The legislation, which falls under the Islands (Scotland) Act, stipulates "the Shetland Islands must be displayed in a manner that accurately and proportionately represents their geographical location in relation to the rest of Scotland."
There is, however, a provision for bypassing the rule, if the mapmaker provides a sufficient explanation for it.
"Many islanders, if not all of the islanders, feel pretty upset by that and were fed up with the irritation of being in the wrong place," Tavish Scott, a member of Scottish Parliament representing Shetland, told CBC News.

Certainly Shetlanders need no reminder of their isolation.
There's a lot of water between the Shetlands and the rest of the world. Occupying the same latitude as Norway and Sweden, the islands are at least 150 miles from the Scottish mainland.
If mapmakers don't put them in a box, they'll need a lot of blue ink. And the result, they claim, would seriously undermine the usefulness of a map.
"It would be virtually impossible to print a paper map, with any usable detail, of this vast geography," a spokesperson for the Ordnance Survey mapping agency told the BBC.
The Shetlands' northerly latitude puts it in line with Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Norway. (Photo: sevenMaps7/Shutterstock)
But maybe it's time mapmakers began to broaden their horizons — and make room for the deep blue sea in every glorious detail. For the Shetlands especially, that sea has vital significance and needs to be accurately conveyed.
"We depend on boats, we have a huge fishing industry that depends on a pristine marine environment, we have the oil industry all around us as well," Scott told CBC News. "It seems to me a bit strange not to have the sea as part of the geography of Scotland. It's the reality of where we are."

No, I didn't watch the debates. Since I have paid attention to what the various candidates have had to say since 2016 there was nothing they would be saying that I didn't know: 1) Open borders while denying they are for it.
2) Orange Man Bad
3) Medicare for all (a concept I'm not altogether opposed to.
4) Orange Man Bad.
5) Tax "the rich" (to pay for healthcare for illegal aliens to boot).
6) Men dressed as women, or who think they are women ARE REAL WOMEN.
7) Orange Man Bad.
So knowing this, I didn't see the point. However; I don't share the analysis of various outlets that Democrats are doomed because they have gone so far left. Maybe...MAYYYBE, on this election. But the long term trends suggest that the past couple of contests have been tests of the demographic changes in America. If they are correct, the Democrats will not need to "go to the middle" to win national elections. So lets look at why I believe this.
Here's the electoral map of the 2016 election75%.
Add to this the looming "compact" of states who are willing to disenfranchise their citizens and deliver their electoral college votes to whichever candidate has more popular votes and the Republican party along with us moderates are screwed (yes I test moderate thank you very much).
The way I see it, the fact that open socialists are winning elections in America tells you all you need to know about the pendulum. Stuff that was political suicide a mere 10-15 years ago has gone mainstream. There will also be intimidation tactics. Recall that we have large financial institutions refusing to do business with people and businesses based on whether their political views align with the left. Expect more collusion among arms of the Left to intimidate the [relatively] easy to intimidate by social and economic means.
So even if Trump manages to win in 2020 (not a foregone conclusion imo), You have 8 years of new voters graduating from HS indoctrination camps. 22 year olds graduating from institutions of higher indoctrination, Children of illegal immigrants coming of age along with their amnestied peers. Along with that you'll have 8 years of old heads dying off.
All that to say that the Dem debate wasn't for moderates or general election Republicans. Trump won in 2016 by a slim margin on 3 mid-western states. Very slim margins. If he loses any one of the larger states he's done for. If not 2024 Florida and Texas is going to be very different than 2016 Florida and Texas. So maybe the Dem debates were not the disaster some people think it is.

I don't have the time currently to discuss this but I think it is important to get this out. Using BitChute because, well, when you watch the video you'll understand.

Never Seen A Man Cry
Rapper Scarface has a track from back in the 90s called Never Seen A Man Cry: Essentially, it talks about how these tough guys, when facing their final moments on earth, cry like everybody else. This track came to mind when I saw this video: Oh. You're crying now. You want your momma now? But 10 minutes ago you were the big man stealing people's stuff.

40 Acres and a Mule
So once again there is discussion of reparations going on in the US government. I don't have a dog in the fight because my parents came to the US after 1965. No slavery. No Jim Crow. No violation of voting rights. None of that. I have not been injured therefore I "deserve" nothing. Everything I can do now is because of those African-Americans who put their lives on the line and I respect and appreciate that. That said, I'll throw in a few cents on the subject. One of the thorny issues with the current calls for reparations is that it makes claims against people who had no hand in "the crime". Generally under US law, you cannot hold the descendant of a criminal liable for what his ancestor did. Even if it is his father. If that were not the case a lot of people would be in legal jeopardy for things they know nothing about. Breaking this rule shouldn't be taken lightly at all. Secondly, it is improper to compare to Jewish or Japanese internment reparations because in both those cases, the damaged parties were still alive and in cases where they are not, researched claims showing direct connections were established. In the case of reparation for African-Americans, the claim is that blacks as a class have been "injured" and that whites as a class are the responsible party, regardless of actual evidence of either injury or participation in an specific event. This line of thinking also involves an implicit (and sometimes explicit) claim that blacks as a group would be in a different social and economic situation had x,y or z not happened and whites as a group would be in a different social and economic situation. That's a pretty hard thing to prove. Of course legislation doesn't require proof. But what about actual damaged parties? Let's take a look. It should be noted that the idea of reparations was not foreign to the US government. The Freedman's Bureau was created as a means of helping formerly enslaved Africans. Then we have the infamous 40 acres and a mule rumor.
2) The laws of the land were not corrupted to disenfranchise them?
According to MSN Money the current average value of land in Georgia is:
$22,787,200,000 Yes, that's 22 billion dollars. Now that's average. Clearly the specific plot of land could be of a higher or lower value. But that can be found out and dealt with. So I think that any honest discussion of reparations should start with finding the names of the 40,000 people granted land by Sherman. Finding their descendants and paying them out $570k each. Some could argue that not all those families would have kept the land or whatever. That isn't relevant. All over the country there are wrongful death lawsuits in which the families are able to claim "lost wages" and the like, even though there is no way to know whether such wages would have ever appeared. It is based on what they had at the time of the event. Here the event was reneging on a land grant. I think this also shows an example of how reparations can be dealt with legally without the whole holding a class of people who had no direct or even indirect part in slavery (and I'm not even getting into Jim Crow). Find cases where the rights, privileges and immunities (as laid out in the 14th Amendment) of black person(s) were infringed upon by the Feds and repair each and every case. Where the Fed is not the culprit, then the state or municipality should be held to account so long as the evidence is there.
According to a letter Sherman wrote a year later, Secretary Stanton concluded that if given land, the freed slaves could "take care of themselves." And as land belonging to those who rose up in rebellion against the federal government had already been declared "abandoned" by an act of Congress, there was land to distribute... Following the meeting, Sherman drafted an order, which was officially designated as Special Field Orders, No. 15. In the document, dated January 16, 1865, Sherman ordered that the abandoned rice plantations from the sea to 30 miles inland would be "reserved and set apart for the settlement" of the freed slaves in the region. According to Sherman's order, "each family shall have a plot of not more than 40 acres of tillable ground." At the time, it was generally accepted that 40 acres of land was the optimal size for a family farm. General Rufus Saxton was put in charge of administering the land along the Georgia coast. While Sherman's order stated "each family shall have a plot of not more than 40 acres of tillable ground," there was no specific mention of farm animals. General Saxton, however, did apparently provide surplus U.S. Army mules to some of the families granted land under Sherman's order.It's important to note that this field order was for Georgia. I'm going to skip a few lines to get to this part:
It has been estimated that approximately 40,000 former slaves received grants of land under Sherman's order. But the land was taken away from them.So 40,000 formerly enslaved Africans received at least 40 acres of Ga land which was later take away from them by the government. Why did the government take this land "back"?
Andrew Johnson became president following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in April 1865. And Johnson, on May 28, 1865, issued a proclamation of pardon and amnesty to citizens in the South who would take an oath of allegiance. As part of the pardon process, lands confiscated during the war would be returned to white landowners. So while the Radical Republicans had fully intended for there to be a massive redistribution of land from former slave owners to former slaves under Reconstruction, Johnson's policy effectively thwarted that.I've often mentioned to people that the Civil War wasn't about slavery but about preserving the Union. Had the confederate states not decided to break away (as they apparently had the right to, but that's another discussion) and kept hammering away in congress over the issues that they had with the northern states (all of whom benefited from southern slavery produced materials, along with their own slave populations that were NOT freed in the Emancipation Proclamation), then there would have been no Civil War. Johnson, like Lincoln wanted the Union and slavery was a means to threaten the rebellious states. Hence it should not be surprising that in order to preserve the Union, Johnson would throw a few Africans under the bus...cart...plow. So returning to this 40,000 people with 40 Acres of Georgia land we should ask what would that land value be today had: 1) They had not been tossed off of it.
2) The laws of the land were not corrupted to disenfranchise them?
According to MSN Money the current average value of land in Georgia is:
$22,787,200,000 Yes, that's 22 billion dollars. Now that's average. Clearly the specific plot of land could be of a higher or lower value. But that can be found out and dealt with.

Comrads Bernie and Cortez Would Have Blown Up Chernobyl
I saw this on YouTube and HAD to post because it is damn scary to think these two are popular. Wow. Really... You know what this reminded me of? Watching Chernobyl. That movie revealed that one of the primary reasons Chernobyl happened was that total incompetents were placed in positions of power due to their loyalty to the party and their willingness to follow the party line regardless of consequences. The people who actually knew what they were doing lived in fear of these apparatchiks. For real though. You should watch that movie. it's also a great demonstration of "male privilege" like being exposed to lethal doses of radiation so that your people can live, eat and drink. But I digress. Secondly, I have an issue with Bernie and Cortez treating people like children. You sign up for credit and don't look at the terms? You know what? Sucks to be you. You didn't look and see that 5% had a star next to it? Never crossed your mind to see what that star stood for? No? Sucks to be you. Look. I'm not with banks being vultures. I've had banks try to shaft me. I paid the card off and cancelled the account. Next level game is getting banks to pay you to use their services. That's what Comrad Cortez and Bernie ought to be teaching their constituents. How to make Bank Of America chip on on your gasoline. How to get Chase to help feed your family. How Citibank can chip in on your next vacation. Yes. It can be done. And it doesn't matter what the interest rate is. But first you gotta get off the victim mentality.

NY Magazine Finds Hillary Clinton Guilty.
Full credit to Mr. Obvious for bringing this to my attention via his video. NY Magazine wrote the following while reviewing AG Barr's interview:
This is just a wild lie. Mueller was unable to establish a criminal conspiracy between Trump and Russia. He was unable to establish this, in part, because "some individuals invoked their Fifth Amendment right," or "provided information that was false or incomplete," or "deleted relevant communications." Indeed, the two Trump campaign officials most closely linked to Russian cutouts, Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, refused to cooperate with prosecutors. A failure to establish a criminal conspiracy is not the same thing as finding "no evidence of a conspiracy." Nowhere does the Mueller report say there's no evidence of a conspiracy. Some of the potential conspiracy elements were unprovable — Mueller never figured out why Manafort gave 75 pages of polling data to a Russian agent.Did you see it? No? Let me pull out the relevant part:
He was unable to establish this, in part, because "some individuals invoked their Fifth Amendment right," or "provided information that was false or incomplete," or "deleted relevant communications."So according to NYMag, "deleting relevant communications" is evidence of a crime (in their argument, collusion). Indeed if someone "deleted relevant communications" then they are probably under indictment, assuming they aren't already in jail. Here is Snopes.com's summary of Hillary's server. Mind you Snopes is no friend of Trump.
March 4, 2015: The Benghazi committee issues a subpoena requiring Clinton to turn over all emails from her private server related to the incident in Libya. Between March 25-31, 2015: The Platte River Networks employee has what he calls an "oh s---" moment, realizing he did not delete Clinton's email archive, per Mills' December 2014 request. The employee deletes the email archive using a software called BleachBit. However, the implication — that Clinton deleted emails relevant to the subpoena in order to avoid scrutiny — is unprovable if not flat wrong. The FBI's investigation did find several thousand emails among those deleted that were work-related and should have been turned over to the State Department.Uh huh. So some 'Trump associate" "deleted relevant communications" and it's evidence of criminal activity. When a Clinton associate "deletes relevant communication" it "is unprovable and flat out wrong" to imply some sort of criminal intent. Uh huh.
Upended Rule Of Law
Continuing my discussion on the fundamental changes going on in American society, here is a video discussing Mueller's little speech the other day. Mr. Gorka makes a point that I had missed. Did you catch it? Gorka:
He provides the presumption of innocence to the Russian military intelligence officers involved in the attack against our election. He actually stated that. "I do not want to make any comment against their presumed innocence." He actually stated that. A page later he denies that of the president. He provides the option of innocence to foreign intelligence operators but says no to our president?Let's not take Gorka's word for it. Let's look at the transcript itself:
And at the same time, as the grand jury alleged in a separate indictment, a private Russian entity engaged in a social media operation, where Russian citizens posed as Americans in order to influence an election. These indictments contain allegations, and we are not commenting on the guilt or the innocence of any specific defendant. Every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.And
So that was Justice Department policy. Those were the principles under which we operated. And from them, we concluded that we would not reach a determination one way or the other about whether the president committed a crime.So it is clear. Mueller gives Russian agents the presumption of innocence but "cannot determine, either way" when it comes to the president. This is totally consistent with the New Left Crow. Others/Foreigners are given more deference than citizens by "our" own representatives and agents.

The Next Stage
Recently I posted about how the New Left Crow should be in full view. The video clip below will show you the full danger of de-platforming. This is already happening in America. China is further along with it's Social Credit system. China is further along because it has no constitutional restraint on it's power. What is currently keeping US persons, in general, out of danger is the constitutional restraints put upon government. But understand that these restraints are not unbreakable. As we see things like the Electoral College compact, where states will disenfranchise its voters to turn elections into rule by mob (which is what majority rule is). As we see government officials turning centuries of jurisprudence on its head and declare that they cannot "exonerate" a person who is to be presumed innocent. As we see governments passing legislation that bans boycotting of "favoured states". As we see governments running struggle sessions called "diversity training". As we see governments creating concepts as "hate speech" and then declaring said speech as "illegal" in flat contradiction to the Constitution and SCOTUS rulings. As we see government openly asking private companies to censor those who it [currently] cannot legally censor, we must understand what is actually coming down the pipe.

My Intersectionality Score
Third Discrimination Suit Filed Against Masterpiece Cakeshop
Let's be clear here: Masterpiece Cakeshop is being harassed. Period.
Scardina had filed a previous lawsuit against Phillips following her request for a cake – an order she placed the day of the SCOTUS ruling. Previous reports say Scardina's order was for a cake celebrating her gender transition."The day of the SCOTUS ruling". Clear harassment. I also blame The Court for this. The case should have been decided on clear 1st and 14th Amendment grounds which would have put an end to this harassment by making those attempting to harass the cakeshop liable for civil rights violations. But let's go on.
The newest lawsuit claims Phillips discriminated against Scardina and used deceptive and unfair trade practices. "The dignity of all citizens in our state needs to be honored. Masterpiece Cakeshop said before the Supreme Court they would serve any baked good to members of the LGBTQ community. It was just the religious significance of it being a wedding cake," Griesen said. "We don't believe they've been honest with the public." In the complaint's text, Scardina's attorneys cite testimony in previous court proceedings: "Mr. Phillips, for himself and on behalf of Masterpiece Cakeshop, confirmed that they would happily make the exact same cake requested by Ms. Scardina for other customers."So the pin here is that since Mr. Phillips said he would make the exact same cake for other customers, he, therefore, should make that cake for them too. On the surface this looks like a slam dunk argument. I've even said that the cake shop would be discriminating if it refused to sell a cake to any homosexual. However; that isn't the issue here. Let's go back to the statement about the wedding cake. Obviously, it could have been said that Mr. Phillips would have made the exact same cake (or AN exactly identical cake) for a heterosexual couple. The issue wasn't directly about "the cake" but the purposes of the cake. Mr. Phillips operates his business in a way that expresses his Christian faith. Standard Christianity is clear that marriage is between a man and a woman (male and female). Mr. Phillips refusal to make the cake was his refusal to participate in a behaviour that contradicted his held beliefs. This is what the Supreme Court should have ruled on rather than the state's hostility to Phillips beliefs. The same exact thinking goes here. That Phillips would make the same exact cake for other customers is not relevant. Once the customer revealed the purpose to which they wanted the cake to be made for, Phillips retained the right to decline to participate based on his clearly known beliefs. The customer could have simply walked into Masterpiece and asked for the pink and blue birthday cake and declined to say what it was for. They could have told any story at all and gotten the cake. Instead, they wanted to force Phillips to participate and approve of their behavior. What needs to be done here is for the SCOTUS to make clear that the states are prohibited from creating laws, commissions and the like that infringe on the 1st Amendment rights of citizens as stated in the 14th Amendment. Secondly, no one can be forced to participate in behavior that they do not wish to be associated with. If YouTube can refuse service to anyone who runs afoul it's "rules", then so can Masterpiece. If the protected Class framework stands in the way, then it's time to revisit and remove this legal concept as it is in contradiction to section 1 of the 14th Amendment. It is clear that some of these "classes" are using their super-citizen powers to disenfranchise "lesser citizens".

Carranza Thinks Non-Whites Are Inferior
I've written before that The Regressive Left believes that black people are inferior to whites. One of the proofs of this is that The Regressive Left keeps saying, and instituting, that black people cannot be held to the same standards as whites. So for example, Blacks need different policing because, well blacks don't respond to authority the same. Black children shouldn't be suspended for "willful defiance" of teachers in school, because, well, blacks can't be expected to respect teachers in schools. It's just asking for too much. Impulse control? Can't expect that of black people. NYC has a nutcase of a schools chancellor who says:
Carranza says that he's combating a "white-supremacy culture," characterized by such concepts as "individualism," "objectivity" and "worship of the written word." It's hard to imagine any educator disparaging the written word, but Carranza has crossed that Rubicon.This is not new. I wrote about this back in 2016:
So lets be clear. Hackman is saying that it is white or "acting white" if one is "honest, hardworking disciplined, rigorous and successful." Therefore to be non-white is to be dishonest, lazy, undisciplined, lax and generally a failure. Moreover to be black is to be emotional ("How you're doing") and to not be able to master the language.And prior to that:
Jane Addams thought that blacks were "unique and spontaneous" and naturally humorous and rhythmic, but she also believed that blacks were uniquely inferior to other groups in their lack of social control and family stability. ... Addams spoke of the "lack of inherited control" by blacks. ... [Social worker] Frederick Bushee, for instance, described the typical Boston black as "low and coarse, revealing much more of the animal qualities than the spiritual." (1)So here we have the head of NYC schools speaking of non-white students as being inferior. Don't be fooled by the "white supremacy culture", a term he picked up via The Isis Papers (and properly termed there as the White Supremacy SYSTEM and Culture). He apparently doesn't understand that in the modern world, things like objectivity and a written word are what keep planes in the sky, computers running and medical science advancing. Black parents should be alarmed that people like Carranza are using their children as pawns in a game that will leave them miss-educated and unprepared for jobs requiring high mental skills. But if black parents are OK with the language used by Carranza and others then they should not complain when they AND their children are treated as inferiors.
Can You See The Left Crow Now?
I have discussed the rise of what I call The Left Crow in American society. It actually goes further than America but we'll keep it here at the moment. So in a past post I discussed the plight of Christian bakers:
In stark contrast, Sarah Sanders was seated in a restaurant and was told flat out to leave. She was declined any and all service, in what should be regarded as a blatant violation of her civil rights. The owner has allegedly claimed that her [gay and supposedly immigrant] wait staff and cooks were bothered (read: being total drama queens), by the prospect of serving niggers, sorry, Sanders. Sanders hadn't asked the restaurant to do anything special for her. She did not ask for a special "immigrant" meal. She did not ask for a special "fuck the gays" meal. She did not enter the premises without a shirt. She did not enter the premises without shoes. She was not being loud and obnoxious (like repeatedly using the word "nigga" in public like so many black people do). No, She was denied any and every service because of who she was and for behavior that the restaurant was not a, nor asked to be a party to.Yesterday YouTube decided to do a purge of users. While it is arguable that YouTube as a private entity can decline service to whomever it chooses. One cannot square the actions with Civil Rights law. And YouTube is not the only issue here. PayPal, MasterCard, Visa, Banks such as JP Morgan Chase and Bank Of America have decided to not provide services to people whom they deem ideologically problematic as opposed to people breaking the law with their services. Even software companies like Salesforce has gotten in on the act by banning companies who do legal firearms business from using its software. There are undoubtedly a number of black folks who think all this is great. The whip hand has been changed and it's time. Sure. OK. Imagine if you will that the internet age occurred prior to 1960. Imagine the NAACP trying to fundraise and PayPal decided that it cannot take recurring donations because the NAACP is, in their opinion a Communist organization. Say that after going to a sit-in or boycott rally. Black folks went to their jobs to find out that they have been fired for "anti-American" activities. Imagine these black folks being unable to use any banking services whatsoever because again they are involved in "anti-American" activities. Imagine individual activists not only being unable to work but cannot receive or spend money donated to them unless it came in the form of cash. The Civil Rights movement as we know it would have collapsed if the actions being taken by private companies today were in effect back then. In effect Regressives today are burning the very bridges that allowed black folks to get to where they are today. And those claiming there isn't anything different have NO CLUE. And for those who think that they are "safe" because they don't have offending views; go look at the link I provided yesterday in the Who Were These Progressives? Your time will come unless you're a sheep and just follow wherever you're lead to.
One Reason I Stopped Regularly Reading The NYT
When I was in school it was required that I read the weekly NYT Science Times. I had to select an article and summarize it. The NYT was THE authority newspaper. If you were bright you read it and perhaps the Wall Street Journal. However; The Times has lost its way as it became "woke". It started burying inconvenient information faaaaar into articles it wrote often misleading its readers. I won't even get into the nonsense that passes for its opinion columns. You know what they say about opinions and assholes. Well, The Times has a lot of assholes. Below is a video of one example of how low the NYT has fallen. I've caught the NYT writing articles that were completely contradicted by articles it posted months earlier so I'm unsurprised at the video below.

Who Were These Progressives?
The blogger at Those Who Can See has a [re-]post where he discusses the attitudes of various progressives over time. Sample:
During Reconstruction, the Reverend Lyman Abbott favored black suffrage and integrated schools and proclaimed that the progress blacks had made since the Civil War had refuted "slavery's accusations of idleness and incapacity." By the 1890s, though,... He characterized blacks as a dependent and inferior people who could rise slowly, if at all, through hard work, improved morality, and industrial education. Nothing alarmed Abbott more than the specter of race-mixing. "For my part," he announced, "I thoroughly and heartily sympathize with the passionate resolve of the Southern people that this intermarriage shall not go on in their borders. …" (1)
One of Boston's finest citizens was Charles Francis Adams, Jr. a railroad executive in the Gilded Age, the grandson of the antislavery advocate John Quincy Adams. Adams viewed the Civil War as a humanitarian crusade. A colonel in the United States Army, Charles Francis Adams, Jr., led black cavalry troops into Richmond in 1865. By 1900, however, the Boston Brahmin's view of blacks had been transformed. After a trip to Africa, he expressed his complete disillusionment with African Americans in a 1906 article in the Century Magazine. In it, he expressed his regret that Reconstruction had been carried out "in utter ignorance of ethnological law and total disregard of unalterable fact." At the sight of Africa, he declared, "the scales fell from my eyes." (1)Read the rest there.
Alan Dershowitz Speaks on The Need For The Center
No. I don't agree with everything he says. I agree with enough of it to warrant a post. It may surprise some readers but The Ghost consistently tests "moderate" when doing political orientation questionnaires. I regularly expose myself to people and ideas that are to my left and to my right. If you are not regularly exposing yourself to those who do not share your opinions, or to those who have spent more time studying an issue you are interested in, you are living in a bubble. If the election of Trump surprised you, then you are living in a bubble. If your go-to answer to issues consists of "racism", "sexism" and other things, you likely live in a bubble. The good news is that the brain is a natural needle that can pop the bubble. It's 33 minutes. Listen during your drive if watching is inconvenient. "All I'm asking you to do is free...your...mind."

Zimbabweans Vote amid Heavy Security
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Police deployed to potential election flashpoints as polls open, with Zimbabwean president saying he will step down if he loses.
- July, 31, 2013 - 14:21
- Other Media
- Comments
Heavily armed riot police have been deployed in potential election flashpoints in Zimbabwe, as an estimated 6.4 million eligible voters begin to cast their votes.
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has vowed to push President Robert Mugabe out of office after 33 years in power, Aljazeera reported.
Long queues of people braved a bout of unseasonably cold weather to stand in line from well before dawn on Wednesday.
Mugabe said before the polls opened at 0500 GMT that he would step down if he lost and that the army, long the bulwark of his rule, would also respect a win for Tsvangirai.
Tsvangirai, who was forced out of the race in 2008 after 200 of his supporters were killed, said that he took Mugabe's promise "with a pinch of salt".
