A critical figure in Haitian literature, Jacques Roumain was born in 1907 to a venerable Haitian family. Educated in Port-au-Prince and later in Europe, he then returned to a Haiti under American Occupation. Roumain joined other young intellectuals in a resistance movement against the occupation, which was instrumental in ending it.
Roumain and his compatriots were also avid promoters of Haitian culture and literature, and he emerged as a leader of the Indigenous Movement, which expressed the idea that rural Haitian peasant life should be considered the real basis of Haitian culture. Roumain thus incorporated these realities into his writing.
Roumain also founded the Haitian Communist Party in 1934 and was considered subversive by the President of Haiti at the time, Stenio Vincent. Roumain was imprisoned and later exiled from the country. It was during this time that he traveled to the U.S. and met the writers of the Harlem Renaissance, thus beginning his association with Langston Hughes.
In 1941, the newly elected President of Haiti allowed Roumain to return to the country. Shortly after, Roumain established the Bureau d' Ethnologie as an institution to validate the culture of the Haitian peasant, as well as Haiti's significant pre-colonial history.
Roumain died in 1944 of unknown causes at the young age of 37.

Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt has revealed he will make a decision on his future with the national team after this summer's tour of South Africa.
The New Zealander's contract runs out with the IRFU at the end of the 2017 season, and the position is Schmidt's to keep should he want it. He became Ireland's head coach in the summer of 2013.
Ireland play three test matches in the summer against South Africa in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth. Their Six Nations campaign concludes on Saturday afternoon against Scotland in Dublin.
Schmidt has aspirations to return home to his native New Zealand and may see an opening in the national team as Steve Hansen is expected to step down as New Zealand head coach after the 2017 Lions tour that summer. Schmidt has not coached at home since 2007, when he was assistant coach of the Blues. The Auckland-based team reached the semi-finals of the Super 14 that season.
Speaking to the Irish Independent, Schmidt revealed that he will make his decision in the coming months. "It is something that I've committed to making a decision once we get back from Africa, really. It's really important that there is a clear pathway for players to know that there's some continuity there, or if that continuity is going to be with someone else that there's a span of enough time that they can get the game up and running as they see it best being played."
"I am conscious of my responsibility there, there's some factors outside of rugby that tend to dictate for me (and) we'll be a little bit further down the track with some of those decisions as well."

2019's Most Wearable Trends
Photo 53 of 89
Return of the 2000s Pop Star
It's a fun idea to dress up like Gwen Stefani, JLo, and Britney did for their performances in the early aughts. But is it more than just an idea? You better believe it. Even if this look is more appropriate to try for evenings out, low-slung slacks that reveal a little hip cleavage paired with midriff-baring crop tops is the new sexy slip dress. Metallic hardware, hoops, or a glitzy bag that doubles as jewelry can be your finishing touch.

Junior Beef Excellence Program
The Noble Research Institute Junior Beef Excellence Program recognizes the carcass merit of steers exhibited at the junior livestock shows by 4-H and FFA members in 14 south-central Oklahoma counties.
The program is an outgrowth of a long-standing tradition of terminal junior steer shows in Carter County, Oklahoma, dating back to 1968. In 1988, the Noble Research Institute took over sponsorship of the county contest from an informal group called the Carter County Beef Eaters Association. The contest has existed in its current, expanded format since 1996.
After the county junior livestock shows, steers entered in the Junior Beef Excellence Program are delivered to Ardmore and commingled for two days before being transported and harvested. Carcass measurements are collected and ranked by program administrators based on current market value of quality grade and yield grade.
Oklahoma residents of Atoka, Bryan, Carter, Coal, Garvin, Grady, Jefferson, Johnston, Love, Marshall, McClain, Murray, Pontotoc and Stephens counties are eligible to participate in the program.
For additional information, contact Caitlin Hebbert, Noble Research Institute livestock consultant and Junior Beef Excellence Program coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com, or 580-224-6523.

These next two specimens are Cypricardella tenuistriata pelecypod fossils. Both have the typical ovate shaped shell with a squared off posterior margin. The fact that the growth lines are very fine and not terribly distinct or raised eliminates the species C. bellistriata from contention.
Both fossils came from a roadside quarry on Cole Hill Rd. in Madison County, NY and come from the Panther Mountain formation (Devonian, Givetian stage) but the rock type is very similar to portions of the Skaneateles formation (with which it is concurrent).

Progress Report #11 UBC and IoT-Now
It seems like there's always something big to announce in our bi-weekly reports. This one is no different, as Orbis Mesh has landed a partnership with one of the largest and most respected universities in all of Canada, The University of British Columbia. Orbis Mesh was featured in an exclusive article by IoT-Now that became Iot-Now's highest trending article for over a week, which in the world of online news is forever.
First, onto UBC. We are working on a longitudinal study with the Faculty of Land and Food Systems, using Mesh Network Technology within their current greenhouse gas research. This is a new area of research that moves Orbis Mesh into a new area of Precision Agriculture Solutions.
UBC is located on the most western peninsula of Vancouver, this beautiful 400 hectare campus overlooks the ocean, houses over 61,000 students, and during the second world war was the primary defensive post against a pacific invasion. The Faculty of Land and Food Systems was one of the three founding departments when the University opened in 1915 and is internationally recognized as a premier research facility. With almost 6 million dollars in research grants in 2018 the faculty is exceptionally funded.
Orbis Mesh is working with the Professor Sean Smukler and Senior Research Engineer Zoran Nesic to use Mesh Networking within their current research of greenhouse gas production on the UBC Farm. UBC presently has numerous plants within research chambers on the farm that are designed to open and close on command. Their network runs on a timer that closes one chamber for five minutes at a time to measure the naturally produced greenhouse gasses created by the plants in changing environments. The Orbis Mesh Network now offer the UBC team pin point accuracy for soil temperature and humidity levels within the chambers. Our technology helps them get a better picture of how variable environments can reduce greenhouse gasses. It also enables a wide range, low cost network that could spread for kilometers without any cabling, something vital for both precision agriculture and smart city soltions.
You can view this install in the video post at the top of the post.
The success of this study could open the door for Orbis Mesh technology to become a standardized method of collecting and distributing data for virtually any input/output research since it can be installed into any existing equipment. The application of this technology moves us one step closer to bringing to market a technology that will truly cut the cord and give power to their users without relying on telecommunication companies or intrusive cable installs for coverage.
Now onto IoT-Now. You can read the article here where Orbis Mesh's founder Jason Chao is interviewed about the growth of the company, where it's heading, the impact of his hires and raising 1.5 million dollars from the ICO to get the company off the ground as a 16 year old. The response blew us away, as we began to see traffic and responses from people all over the IoT world. It's become very clear to us that what Orbis Mesh is offering has a need in the world. We're really only at the beginning of this journey and we're all excited to see the possibilities in front of us.

Doomtree Zoo: Exploring the rap crew's animal instincts
The iconic Doomtree Blowout enjoyed a decade-long run of successful First Avenue occupations from 2004 to 2014, evolving annually and redefining what a crew performance could look like.
In hopes of not turning the trailblazing tradition into an overlong slog, Doomtree rappers and producers P.O.S, Dessa, Mike Mictlan, Sims, Cecil Otter, Paper Tiger, and Lazerbeak opted to pull the plug last year, preserving the Blowout as a beautiful corpse in fans' memories.
Nixing the Blowout opened doors creatively, as Doomtree was freed up to explore new territory for big local showcases. In July, the crew announced Saturday's Doomtree Zoo, a massive, eclectic concert to be held at CHS Field in St. Paul.
"We wanted it to be more than a festival — more like a circus type of thing with a bunch of different groups coming through," Sims says.
With a stacked lineup of like-minded artists spanning the creative spectrum, Doomtree Zoo collected a menagerie of acts that channel the Blowout's collaborative spirit.
"We're going to showcase everything that we love and all the people we love," Cecil Otter says. "I think it will be zoo-esque, I guess — a bunch of captive rappers."
Glancing at the lineup, you'll see acts that immediately conjure the zoological: Aesop Rock, whose moniker evokes the animal parables of Aesop's Fables; Open Mike Eagle and Aby Wolf, who once bonded over having animal-oriented government names on Eagle's Secret Skin podcast; Koo Koo Kanga Roo, who devoted an EP entirely to cats; In the Heart of the Beast Theatre, whose nature-themed puppetry features larger-than-life creatures; Shabazz Palaces, whose promotional photos feature pythons on gold leashes.
"Like a zoo, there are exhibits everywhere, and there's something to see at every turn," Dessa says. "I like that idea of creating an event that felt immersive."
Adds P.O.S: "I always describe chaotic and frenetic, exciting places as a zoo. So when Doomtree Zoo came up as a theme/vibe for the thing, it already seemed cool to me."
The Doomtree Zoo title also speaks to some of the thematic elements of the group's music. Delve deep enough into the Doomtree realm and you'll notice animal imagery cropping up throughout. Their iconic wings-and-teeth emblem immediately brands the group with animal features. Cecil Otter, Lazerbeak, and Paper Tiger's artist names all stem from animal origins.
"I remember choosing Paper Tiger at the time because it was with caution and respect that I wanted to enter into a scene and community I wasn't sure I would feel comfortable in," Paper Tiger says. "Within the culture there is a certain sense of posturing that is expected, and I wanted to do the opposite."
We've seen the crew pull heists in hoodies and duck masks in the video for "Gray Duck," and rock animal masks in Sims' predator-vs-prey, dystopian video for "Burn It Down." It's also a prevalent writing device for the lyricists.
"With animal metaphors you can sum up feeling, actions, and motives in just one word," P.O.S says. "You can stretch that for days in the right context."
Sims has made good use of the device, having released a pair of projects — Bad Time Zoo and its companion EP Wildlife — imbued with animal motifs. Drawing inspiration from animal references by authors Ray Bradbury, Ernest Hemingway, and Herman Melville, he finds the subject keeps coming up in his own work, often used to dissect aspects of society.
Dessa similarly draws on the animal kingdom for symbolic reference and poetic effect, frequently titling songs after animals.
"It can do a lot of heavy lifting, because there are a lot of associations that you can tap into," she says. "In the song 'The Lamb,' I not only get to use those animals as characters, but I benefit from the association of their biblical roles."
It's affecting imagery, from the mythological references of "The Beekeeper" to the juxtaposition of animal characteristics with human traits in "Fighting Fish."
"A fighting fish is this regal looking, beautifully colored, dramatic beast," Dessa says. "But then it's equally kind of sad that we present this majestic creature in a shot glass, essentially,"
Liberation is a constant theme in Doomtree lore, and the zoo concept summons cages as well. The show's poster, illustrated by artist Emmanuel Mauleón, features a tiger in motion, beset with ropes that drag the severed hands of its captors. Escape from captivity is a theme P.O.S touches on throughout his album We Don't Even Live Here.
"Who doesn't wanna escape sometimes?" he asks. "Sometimes life is not tight. What can you do about it? Get freer. Escape. Play."
Cecil Otter's recurring imagery of the romanticized drifter plays into this as well, with occasional lone wolf references, ones he says pop up mainly Portlandia-style: "I talk about wolves here and there, just cuz it's popular now — put a wolf on everything."
Mike Mictlan's HELLAFRREAL explores similar themes, and he wanted the Doomtree Zoo to be a manifestation of that liberated feeling.
"I feel like I wanted it to be more like, us letting the animals out of the cages," Mictlan says. "Kind of like putting a mirror back on society, like, this is what happens when you try to control everything."
His music touches on the strange state of human nature, comparing himself to a dog as a way to draw lines between animal instincts and the human condition.
"I joke around sometimes how humans are like contemporary slave masters, and dogs are like slaves now," he says. "You know, keep 'em on a leash and they're like our weird perversion of controlling nature, which is completely changing evolution."
Doomtree's own evolution continues with Doomtree Zoo, and it's a solid sign of the crew's strength and ability to adapt.

Most oil based finishes should adhere to the epoxy or at least form a film overtop, which can clear it out after sanding. The optimal grit for most finishes is 320 or higher. Proven brands like Osmo, Rubio, and Odie's oils/waxes have been used with great success by many customers.

text: Recently, a test dealing with the linear hypothesis for the global minimum variance portfolio weights was obtained under the assumption of non-singular covariance matrix. However, the problem of potential multicollinearity and correlations of assets constitutes a limitation of the classical portfolio theory. Therefore, there is an interest in developing theory in the presence of singularities in the covariance matrix. In this paper, we extend the test by analyzing the portfolio weights in the small sample case with a singular population covariance matrix. The results are illustrated using actual stock returns and a discussion of practical relevance of the model is presented.

Overnight Chia Porridge effortlessly soaks chia seeds in the very same creamy, dairy-free milk (with a little-something-special added) that you'll enjoy come breakfast-time, for better digestion and nutrition! Overnight Chia Porridge is Paleo, Vegan, GAPS and Keto friendly.
Most people don't know that chia seeds are high in phytic acid (and lectins). This recipe provides an easy solution, that reaps a great reward! Overnight oats are currently popular because the work is done the night before and yields a ready-to-go breakfast. If we're already letting something sit out overnight, why not soak that porridge in the right medium to reduce phytic acid? So easy!
Soaking chia seeds makes them more digestible, more nutritious and probiotic!
(Read more here about which seeds need to be soaked and why.)
What does soaked mean?
I talk a lot more about soaking seeds here, but in short, we use an acidic or probiotic medium to soak seeds. This pH change lets the seeds know it's time to begin the germination process.
Many modern people soak their oats or chia seeds in plain liquids because they don't yet know that by adding a small amount of acidic or probiotic liquid they render their food more edible.
Former cultures knew this rule of predigestion, and the same concept is why many native cultures fermented certain foods.
The reason soaked nuts and seeds digest better is the same reason they're more nutritious after being soaked: The dormant seeds or nuts have been awakened! The defense mechanisms (the phytic acid that protects a plant) convert; the plant sprouts. It was asleep, but now it's a living thing with more nutrition! You don't have to see the sprout. Enzymatically the seed or nut has changed.
Your body can now break it down easily and utilize its nutrients.
What is phytic acid?
What is phytic acid? Phytic acid is a naturally occurring plant compound that interferes with mineral absorption, so it makes our foods less nutritious.
Soaking is a first stage of fermentation that reduces phytic acid.
Phytic acid reduction is important for digestion, absorption of nutrients and thyroid function. (source)
Chia seed nutrition
Once soaked, chia seeds are more the super-food they're touted to be: high in complex carbohydrates, fiber, protein, minerals and good fats. Chia seeds even contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory plant compounds.
(Chia seeds are not for everyone. If you have leaky gut or autoimmune issues, seeds and nuts may be inflammatory to your body.)
Fiber, carbs and Keto, prebiotics and probiotics
If you just look at the carbs by grams in chia seeds, they seem high, which is fine and great for those who want their energy from complex carbs. But why are chia seeds a safe Keto seed? Chia seeds are actually 86% fiber. (source) Here's the breakdown for 1 ounce of chia seeds:
- 12.4 carb grams
- 10.7 fiber grams
- 1.7 net carbs
The fiber in chia seeds is mostly insoluble. Chia seeds help move the bowels, cause beneficial (prebiotic) fermentation in the gut and can contribute to the production of ketones. (source) In short, chia seeds can help to create a more diverse and robust gut microbiome.
Overnight Chia Porridge capitalizes on the prebiotic nature of chia seeds by also adding probiotics. This breakfast or snack ends up being a wonderful source of both, with the potential for improved colon health.
How much to make … and what to add
You can double this recipe, which is what I've been doing! That way my always-hungry-family has a ready-to-go and easy snack that's high in nutrition and low in sweetener. High in protein and complex carbs!
- Vegan and Paleo: Add chocolate chips, freeze-dried berries or dried fruits. Add sprouted nuts or seeds.
- Paleo: Add Paleo protein powder (here's the vanilla I buy; here's the chocolate I buy) or collagen (find it here).
You can leave the porridge out overnight in jars or in one big ceramic bowl, covered. Once the porridge is soaked, you can simply garnish with berries, or stir in various options I list below.
Overnight Chia Porridge is soaked for better digestion. Make this delicious breakfast or snack, and also learn how to make chia seeds more nutritious and probiotic.
- 2 cups homemade nut/seed milk see recipe below in Recipe Notes, or coconut milk; or use raw or cultured milk if you prefer/can have dairy (for Keto, use low carb nuts or seeds to make your milk, such as pecans, walnuts or macadamia nuts, or use heavy cream)
- 2/3 cup chia seeds
- 1 Tablespoon non-dairy whey* (see how below); or pickling brine (choose any liquid food source of probiotics with a mild flavor, sauerkraut juice will even work; but nothing spicy or with garlic, obviously)
- optional add-ins up to 2 Tablespoons preferred sweetener, such as maple syrup or honey, berries or dates, protein powder; For Keto, Low Carb and Paleo: collagen
In medium size ceramic or glass bowl combine 2 cups milk of choice with 2/3 cup chia seeds and whey (or kraut juice). Stir well.
Allow to sit 15 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes in the beginning to keep seeds from sinking and clumping before they expand. If you want individual portions, transfer porridge to ball jars and cover with lids. Otherwise, loosely cover mixing bowl.
Leave in warm location overnight, or up to 24 hours.
Flavor to serve: For Paleo and Vegan, add up to 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, if desired. For GAPS and Paleo, honey. For Keto, use stevia or monk fruit sweetener to sweeten. Add any other mix-ins desired (berries, chopped dates [not for Keto], protein powder. NOTE: If you add protein powder, it is often *already sweetened*, so you won't likely need any additional sweetener added to your porridge.
Transfer to fridge, where seeds will continue to reduce in phytic acid (and probiotics will increase). Porridge keeps well 4 to 5 days.
Homemade nut or seed milk
Combine in a high-powered blender: 3 cups filtered water and 2/3 cup raw hemp seeds (or a soaked/sprouted wet nut or seed of your choice). Optionally, add 1/16 teaspoon powdered stevia (or 5 to 8 drops liquid stevia), to taste. Process on medium-high speed for 50 seconds. Straining is optional. I use Ellie's Nut Milk Bag when I strain. (Find it here.) The milk is now ready to use.
Non-dairy whey
This can be collected from any non-dairy yogurt. Simply place yogurt in cheesecloth or coffee filter-lined colander, over a bowl. Allow to sit out overnight. The liquid that drips into the bowl is whey. It's full of probiotics and will inoculate a ferment or predigest the chia seeds in this recipe. (What's left behind in your colander is dairy-free Greek yogurt or yogurt cheese, thick, creamy and delicious.)
