@alcinnz A huge amount of JS could be eliminated if basic HTML had some notion of a post/comment response tree, relation, and interactions (scoring, filtering, replying, muting, blocking). That should be a fundamental part of the epistemic (content-based) Web.
I've also argued that the Web should be divided into four roles:
- Text/content and interactions.
- Commerce, including payment and trust mechanisms.
- Multimedia: video/audio playback.
- Apps beyond these.
@alcinnz The Web *began* as a content delivery / publication systems (though lacking Critical Bits such as Search and Archival).
Media got bolted on via the <img> tag (later audio and video), and commerce was later added. Both remain problematic.
The absence of sane defaults for styling, a recognised set of standard page formats (index, article, gallery/catalogue, discussion, stream, etc.) and uniform formatting, is a huge part of the problem -> CSS and JS paper that over.
@dredmorbius Wow! That's plenty to think about!
After next week I'll start exploring tag-based bookmark management, and I'll be keen to get your feedback on my take.
I can't say I'm 100% against CSS (I prefer webdevs to apply style that way rather than using HTML), but at the very least userstyles need to significantly more prominant. Whether or not we want to block author styles.
@dredmorbius Certainly I do want to seperate apps out into their own platform, for which I generally like proposing an offline Elm sandbox.
If we got rid of JavaScript, it should be trivial enough to render <audio>/<video> as download links.
And it strikes me when creating a browser for a voice assistant (and maybe eventually Smart TV) form factor I am tending to seperate forms (as used in checkout) into their own UI.
So I think we have some very similar ideas here!
@dredmorbius Oh, can you elaborate on how you imagine this comment tree working in HTML?
@dredmorbius P.S. I've linked to your post from my page advising webdevs on how to help transition to a less bloated Web.
And I'm keen to describe the web experiences I want to design in a few days, for feedback.
@alcinnz So a comment tree in straight HTML might require some thinking. There'd have to be _some_ smarts, client or server side.
Basically: you need elements. And/or relationships. I think you can even skip specific <article> vs. <comment> elements if you have instead <parent> <child> or <in-reference-to> / <citations> type relations. See email threading and specifically Mutt and jwz's threading model for Netscape.
@alcinnz Then there's the question of _what elements are actually within a particular comment thread or tree_. We've relied entirely on server-side, parent-centric, site-specific models for that to date. Basically: everyone codes their own and they don't interoperate.
Also: we've had interoperable systems (Usenet, Listserve, Mailman), and ... they had ... issues.
Mostly spam.
Lots of motherloving spam.
So: the parent might compile a list of validated responses as comments. Option # 1.
@alcinnz A feature (problem / benefit depends on your viewpoint) is that parents could determine what responses they do or don't want to acknowledge. If you're mitigating stalkers / hackers / trolls, that's good. If you're trying to deceptively manipulate conversation / narrative, maybe not so much.
So option # 2 is for freestanding references to be able to cite what they're referencing. The tree can be acquired from the branches rather than root.
@alcinnz Oh, and inherent in this is that parents and children are explicitly distinct documents with relationships. Rather than chunks of stuff within a single page, though they might be _represented_ that way.
Mind: you could (and ... some poor lost disillusioned soul might) try to throw it all in one bucket. But That Would Be WRONG!!!
Within a rendered page ... some sort of inclusion reference. Which does, natch, raise all kinds of further issues (security, snooping, etc., see IFRAMEs).
@alcinnz Any time you allow content from multiple authorities / entities to be intertwingled, you're going to want to set some sort of baseline of maximum allowed features. Say, just straight text and styling, perhaps.
(And just having a limited feature set doesn't preclude misusing that feature set, though it may make misuse easier to identify.)
@alcinnz Then there's interactions.
The idea of a comment thread is ... well, it's _dynamic_. At the very least, it's additive: others can add their Considered, Reasoned, and Illuminating Thoughts.
Or whatevs.
So: reply.
There's the question of ranking and rating, ordering, filtering. Possibly editing (and questions of versioning). Deleting. Moderation.
Some minimum featureset should be specifiable here, and generally, implemented through HTML, HTTP, and browser features.
@alcinnz And given that We Have Been Doing This Shit For Neigh On Forty Years, there might even be some sort of rough reasonable concensus as to What Said Features Might Be.
(Apply the exponential doubling cost rule to any proposed extensions as with page schemas.)
@alcinnz But again, in brief:
Within page layout: a parent-child hierarchy.
Between documents: a citations / in-reference-to relationship. Children know their parents, parents know some of their children.
For elements: a set of defined actions: reply, rate, hide/dismiss/flag, classify. Moderation and reputation features. Spam classification.
@dredmorbius I really don't have much of an opinion on what the best approach would be, but from my perspective of being deep in the weeds attempting to implement new browser engines:
It'd be reasonably easy for the browser to support inserting HTML snippet HTTP responses into arbitrary elements on the page. Many existing forum/commenting systems could easily be recreated with that...
I would simplify HTML error recovery, and not allow any additional CSS & ofcourse JS.
@alcinnz Easy != Good Idea.
Look at where <iframe> got us. Yes, you can embed entire Web pages inside other Web pages. The trust / risk implications turn out to be ... immense.
This gets to a general model of coming up with some kind of document complexity and capabilities model, and granting capabilities based on trust. uMatrix is effectively one (fairly crude) tool for doing this. I've taken a few stabs at defining this, none are especially satisfactory.
Starting at base levels: there are characters, sentences, linefeeds, paragraphs, images, styling (fonts, colours, sizes), structured docs (metadata, titles, sections, lists, tables, references, equations), explicit layout blocks, multimedia (video/audio), programmatic content, remote / cross-site includes.
Each carries capabilities but also risks. Defining, say, a "comment trust level" of "text, paragraphs, bold, italic, superscript, subscript" might be a decent base level.
@alcinnz Elements such as images, audio, and links, would have to be granted based on specific trust relations, though whether those are explicitly granted by a site (or page) author / moderator, through SW heuristics, or some mix, might be open to discussion.
Mind that abusers can abuse virtually anything.
@alcinnz I mean, Usenet had MMF:
My general view is:
- Focus on *behaviour* rather than *features*
- Recognise that *complexity* enables both more bad behaviour, and can mask it.
- Reputations matter. Rather than identify *content*, track the *creators*, both good and bad.
Effective trust networks tend to be *small*. A few tens, *possibly* hundreds, of actors. Trust scales poorly.
@alcinnz Complexity: more pieces, more types, more relationships, more types of relationships, more change over time.
@dredmorbius Thankfully I'm not at any stage yet to implement any of my suggested alternatives to existing uses of JavaScript.
Certainly if/when I do I should start from the behavior their intended to preserve, reimplement that without JS. Make sure they have a use!
But also I'm keen to maintain graceful degradation so, amongst other things, I can always drop those features if they're not worth it.
@alcinnz As I said, I've made some half-stabs at this.
Some more of the "what is an online discussion" question is stabbed at somewhere on https://social.antefriguserat.de
I'll dig up a specific link....
@alcinnz Some discussion, "Platform Types":
@alcinnz Also, "Features & Capabilities":
@dredmorbius @alcinnz interesting wiki, thank you.
@alcinnz Both of those links are fairly rough, but draw from much experience and several sources. It's a wiki, those can be edited.
@dredmorbius True. While I do think it's a nice evolution of hyperlinks to cover many/most use cases for Ajax, we probably shouldn't be embedding third party HTML that or any other way.
Though I certainly wouldn't include that in the voice-assistant form factor I mentioned, it doesn't fit the experience I'm designing.
@alcinnz CSS isn't *necessarily* bad, but it *often* is. It's a near-necessity because browser defaults are so poor AND there's no reasonable set of default templates.
As the article says: "Web design isn't the solution, Web design is the problem."
What I often resort to is using some sort of "reader-mode" tool *and then restyling that to my preferences* for an optimal reading experience. The Reader Mode at least creates a consistent base state I can work from.
When you distribute design...
@alcinnz ... you end up with a bunch of different sources all reinventing the wheel, poorly and with a limited or nonexistent grasp of end-user needs, experiences, and interests.
If the default appearance of an unstyled Web page were closer to a Reader Mode page (margins, limited line length, decent fonts, images generally fitting to display width), we'd be a lot better off.
A catalogue of standard layouts which could have standard client-side stylings or optional site-supplied CSS would help.
@alcinnz Note that that last _still_ allows sites to choose their own style *if they want*, but makes it far easier (and more uniform) for users to override that.
Leaving some stock styling options (header/footer colour schemes, logo and art) would allow personality and "branding" to be applied, but within sane limits.
Then you've got idiots (and tools) with absolutely no grasp of what HTML is or how it should be used, and ... I have seen things. Things you wouldn't believe. Ships on fire...
@alcinnz Examples:
An old newspaper columnist who wraps everything in <h4> tags. Presumably because <p> is too small for their old eyes.
A site where *every motherloving paragraph* had explicit pixel-precise location placement.
Another old writer who manually inserts leading whitespace to indent paragraphs.
And don't get me started on the crap in RSS feeds.
Obfuscated "minified" Cloture JS and CSS from Google and others. Utterly nonsemantic crap.
NYTimes' homebrewed JS <table> alternate.
@alcinnz There's the fact that stock HTML lacks equation support.
(One of my dreams is to scrap HTML for LaTeX and call it a day.)
Or reasonable endnote / citations / footnote support (also in LaTeX.)
I know a lot of this because I restyle a ton of sites *for my own use and ability to even motherloving tolerate them* through Stylus. Pretty damned much learned CSS by fixing Google+'s craptacular shit.
Again: sane defaults would make much of this go away. But we don't have those.
@dredmorbius There's MathML, but everyone other than WebKit and Igalia apparantly had better things to maintain than that. Yuck!
@alcinnz MathML already puts you in JS land.
@dredmorbius Except if you exclusively target WebKit browsers. That was comment about browsers apparantly having better things to maintain was referring to.
@alcinnz Ah, I didn't know that. So it's an independent XML spec which at least some browsers implement directly:
@alcinnz There've been some attempts. The hNews Microformats are one. I think that's languished if not dead, but also somewhat exemplifies the problem: it's *way* possible to go overboard with specifications.
I think we might need to front schema specs something like 16 elements, and then charge them $100 for the next, doubling the charge for each additional element specified. Want 10 elements? That's $102,400, please!
Want 100 elements? $1.27 * 10^32.
Keep. It. Fucking. Simple.
@dredmorbius Certainly, I've seen plenty of that.
I'll look into hNews...
@alcinnz Oh, and for a sense of what I consider to be a good baseline style, see Edward Morbius's Motherfucking Website / CodePen:
@alcinnz A few people have actually based their site designs off of that. Matthew Graybosch @email@example.com does (or did, seems to have updated their site recently).
There are so many shit websites lately we need a certification of some kind. Call it "No Bullshit Certification". To earn this cert, a website must:
* function to some reasonable extent with j/s disabled
* all j/s must conform to #librejs
* be usable in lynx
* respect #netneutrality and thus not use #cloudflare
* be #CAPTCHA-free, or at least respect ppl w/disabilities
Then we need a search engine with scoring that puts "No BS Certified" results at the top.
@dredmorbius @alcinnz HTML5 is making some long overdue improvements as far as adding structural elements for indexes, articles, discussions, and so on.
@mathew Elements are good, but mechanism and enforcement matters.
By the mid 1990s, Usenet had a whole mess of newsgroups for governments, groups, topics, etc. Structure and elements. But they weren't used, or were spammed to death, or most often: both.
There was a saying for a while that "Google is a blind user". That favoured accessibility for a while. Google's gotten both less blind, and less significant with social / algorithmic discovery.
@mathew Reputation, _appropriate_ use of tools, penalties for misuse & misrepresentation, publishing tools that follow the fucking specs, and some means for dragging the old into the New World, would help.
Then again, look at books. We don't rely on publishers to do cataloguing correctly, we have librarians and cataloguing specialists.
Or did. That seems to be a dying art, in favour of full-text search and various Majickal Diskovery Tuuls.
@mathew I look at, oh, say, to pick an entirely random example, PDFs.
Here's the "pdfinfo" dump from a randomly selected PDF I've downloaded:
Producer: Adobe Acrobat 9.13 Paper Capture Plug-in
CreationDate: Mon Sep 22 17:12:13 2003 CDT
ModDate: Wed Sep 2 12:32:37 2009 CDT

UserProperties: no

@mathew That is, as it happens, the "IBM 360 System Principles of Operation" manual, published by IBM in 1964, and posted online by some Good Soul, recently shared to Hacker News.
None of which is apparent from either the metadata or filename.
(I've been trying to formulate a reasonably consistent, useful, file-naming format, for a few years. Surprisingly difficult also. Generally:
Author-Name_Title-words_Publisher_Date.extension is a good start. Not all fields may be present.
@mathew PDF *HAS* the structure to capture metadata.
And not only isn't it used, it's a motherfucking pain in the ass to update, correct, or even *find* this fucking information. Particularly at scale.
Again, it's often the pirates (Libgen, ZLibrary) or librarians (Internet Archive) who Get This Mostly Right.
@dredmorbius @alcinnz I use a handy Mac app called PDF Attributes which lets you edit core metadata for any PDF easily.
@dredmorbius @alcinnz On Linux, exiftool is a good option. I've used that for things like adding geotags to RAW image files, and it handles PDF, including XMP in PDF I think, which will give you Dublin Core support.
@mathew But yeah, basically "we've got the fields / structure / metadata formats / microformat specs for that" DOES NOT SOLVE THE MOTHERFUCKING PROBLEM.
I've watched that approach be trotted out for about 35-40 years now. GO READ SOME MOTHERFUCKING HISTORY OF INFORMATION. Seriously.
(Yes. I'm slighly unhinged. But the field / discipline is *MASSIVELY* motherfucking delusional or intentionally ignorant.)
You need some form of Cataloguing Authority, with balls and licence to kill.
@dredmorbius @alcinnz A lot of my job at work is unifying metadata standards for different internal bespoke database systems and connecting them together. With the number of products involved and the rate of organizational churn, it can get pretty hairy.
@mathew Churn (organisational, technological, standards, etc.) is a major challenge here.
One of the big issues is that you pretty much *cannot* have a Consistently Applied Well-Formed Accurate and Useful index. You're going to have a smattering, probably best described by a sort of maturity levels index model:
- None.
- Publisher/author.
- Crowdsourced
- Algorithmic / AI/ML
- Manual
- Expert review & contextualisation
- General domain concensus (multi-expert)
@dredmorbius @alcinnz I've been experimenting a bit with the AI, e.g. https://github.com/lpar/hugoutil
It's not good enough yet, though, as far as I've been able to tell.
@dredmorbius @alcinnz Oh yeah, I also wrote a Ruby script to run all my collected downloaded Internet cartoons and memes through Google AI/OCR, and put the results into the Finder metadata so I can search on it. That was somewhat more successful.
@mathew Nice.
I have numerous hand-scanned books I still need to convert to PDF or djvu format.
Latter is nice, but the toolchain is still very immature. Sadly, we're going to be with PDF for another decade or more IMO.
Or I've hand-typed (or corrected) docs, e.g. https://pastebin.com/raw/Bapu75is from https://archive.org/details/technologicaltre1937unitrich/page/39
@dredmorbius @alcinnz I'd love to get a book scanner. I do have a Fujitsu ScanSnap, which I use to digitize pretty much anything I can feed through it. FWIW the only OCR worth a damn is ABBYY's, sadly.
@mathew Many public / school libraries have these, either dedicated units or integrated into copy machines. Can save as jpeg or other format to a flash drive.
I prefer the face-down bed scanners to the face-up versions (flatter, more uniform results). Similar to this:

You may not have ever heard of the Nebula Awards, but you probably have heard of the Oscars.
The Nebula Awards are pretty much the same thing, but for science fiction writers instead of movie stars. And BYU alumna Nancy Fulda has been nominated for one. Her piece, "Movement: A Short Story about Autism in the Future," tells the story of Hannah, a highly gifted teenager who is unable to communicate verbally. When her parents look in to a life-changing treatment, Hannah's life is turned upside down.
Fulda, whose son is autistic, says that "Movement" was inspired by working with his unique abilities.
"'Movement' grew out of my efforts to comprehend a mental architecture that was utterly foreign to me, and from my son's tender and diligent attempts to do the same," she says. "The experience of trying to think differently, and of learning to respect my son's interpretation of the world as valid, enabled me to find a literary voice for Hannah and for her unique perception of time."
However, using autism as a character trait wasn't a conscious decision, it was just something she can relate to. "I was playing around with ideas about time and needed a focal point. Somewhere during the third or fourth revision, I realized that I needed a very unusual protagonist to discuss these ideas. I needed someone who doesn't see the world the same way most people do. Autism was on my mind at the time, so it was perhaps inevitable that the fictional condition I created for Hannah looks and feels very much like autism."
As a member of the Church, Fulda says it's easy for her faith to reflect in her writing. "It's my personal belief that authors can't help injecting their world view into their work," she said. "It's a subconscious process. We write what we see, we write what we experience; how can we not also write what we believe?"
She even includes gospel themes such as agency and eternal progression in her story, although the reader will have to pay attention. "More than anything else, Hannah desires to fill the measure of her potential, and find joy."
Because being nominated for a Nebula Award is such an honor, Fulda was thrilled when she found out. It was totally unexpected, though, since the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America traditionally notifies Nebula finalists personally, and though the announcement of this year's nominees was approaching, she hadn't received a phone call.
"Imagine my joy when I got home from my son's karate class and found an answering machine message from my dear friend, telling me that 'Movement' had been nominated for the category of Best Short Story," she said. "I tend to bounce through the house, quite literally, whenever something good happens with my writing. In this case, I believe I bounced for a solid hour!"
Fulda has won various science fiction awards in the past, including the Phobos Award, the Vera Hinckley Mayhew Award and the Jim Baen Memorial Award. However, she isn't stopping there. "Well, a Hugo nomination would be a nice addition to the collection. The Nebula and Hugo Awards are the two major milestones for science fiction and fantasy, roughly equivalent to the Oscars for film. Someday I'd also love to be nominated for a Whitney Award, but since they don't have a short fiction category, I guess I'll have to write a few novels first!"
The 47th Annual Nebula Awards will take place in Arlington, VA, May 17-20, and is put on by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. To read "Movement," check out nancyfulda.com.

What (and how) does worship teach?
It's a strange thing to think that we are "taught" something in worship, or at least it would have been a strange thing for me to think a few years ago. Perhaps that is why I am now using the word "formed" in place of "taught," but it is still instruction in one way or another. Now, this is not a new concept at all. We see, especially in the Old Testament, that poetry and songs used in worship were used to teach people the things of God or remind…read more

Medieval Transylvania 2 Days
"Let's bring to life the medieval castles and citadels from the land beyond the forest. Step into the age of courage, strength and glory by joining us in a tour of the most famous fortresses and medieval cities of Romania."
Day 1 Bucharest-Sinaia-Bran-Brasov-Sighisoara
Morning drive north towards Transylvania, sheltered by the Carpathian Mountains with historic forests and abundant wildlife. In the charming resort of Sinaia you will visit the fairy-tale Peles Castle, strongly connected with the flourishing period of Romania royalty. Pass through the fabulous mountain scenery and once arrived in Bran Village, visit Dracula's Castle, whose striking hilltop appearance stands at the basis of many myths and legends. After lunch, you will discover the city of Brasov, one of the most important cities of Transylvania. Its history starts in 13th century and its walls, towers and a lot of buildings from the medieval times are still preserved.
INFO! Brasov is a city in Romania and the capital of Brasov County. The city is located in the central part of the country, about 166 km from Bucharest. It is surrounded by the Southern Carpathians, and is part of the Transylvania region. Centrally located Brasov is a good starting point for trips around Romania. It is also the largest city in a mountain resorts area. The old city itself is very well preserved, and is best seen by taking the cable-car to the top of Tâmpa Mountain (995 m), a beautiful lookout.
Overnight in Sighisoara Citadel in an intimate 3-star hotel/pension located in the heart of the citadel; you'll be enchanted by the medieval charm of the place.
Day 2
Next day you will explore the Old Town of Sighisoara with cobbled streets, burgher houses and ornate churches. You will visit the Clock Tower, Church on the Hill and Dracula's house where Vlad Tepes was born in 1431.The next stop is Sibiu, the largest and wealthiest of the walled cities built by the Saxons in the 12th century. After a short sightseeing tour we leave Sibiu and cross the mountains on the Olt River Valley, one of the most spectacular valleys crossing the Southern Carpathians towards Bucharest. The fabulous journey ends with the arrival in Romania`s capital city.
INFO! Central Sighisoara has preserved in an exemplary way the features of a small medieval fortified city, it has been listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Each July, a Medieval Festival takes place in the old citadel. The houses inside the Citadel of Sighisoara show the main features of a craftsmen's town. There are some houses which belonged to the former town elite, like the Venetian House and the House with Antlers.

Tips for Buying an RV
Your engine is started, and your kids are buckled in their seats. All the items you need for the next few weeks are packed away neatly in the cubbies and cupboards of your RV. It's time to hit the open road! This is the vacation dream for many families because a quality RV can provide years' worth of affordable adventure. On the other hand, a damaged or ill-suited vehicle also might turn a relaxing vacation into a frustrating debacle. So, if you're shopping for a new RV, consider a few things before you buy.
How will you use the recreational vehicle?
Are you going to live in your RV or use it a few times per year? Are you going to drive it through snow and frigid temperatures or stay in balmier parts of the country? How many people does it need to hold?
Explore all of these questions and then make a list of the features you might need. If you're going to stick to RV parks and campgrounds with electricity and Wi-Fi, you won't need to worry as much about generator or tank capacity. However, if you plan to camp in more rustic areas, you need to make sure your RV can handle that. Also, check the insulation and heating capacity if you plan to camp in snowy spots, and if you are taking children on your adventures, consider buying a vehicle with a slide-out compartment.
Every detail is important, so make sure you think them through.
Should you buy new or used?
New RVs have less wear and potential damage, and they come with the latest technologies that could make your life easier. However, they also tend to be expensive and necessitate higher insurance premiums.
Used RVs are quite a bit cheaper, and they depreciate less over time. Plus, the previous owners also might have fixed any of their original quirks. Yet, the opposite could happen, as well. You could run the risk of purchasing a vehicle with hidden damage that could cause problems down the road.
What are the important features?
Marble countertops look great, but are they critical? RVs can come with fancy features that add up to a hefty purchase price, so look past the leather couches and remember what's truly important. Does the engine run well? Are the hoses in good shape, and is the wiring solid? Does the vehicle have any leaks?
Remember, you can always make cosmetic adjustments later. Make sure your RV is a quality vehicle before you buy it.
Bonus: Do I have the right insurance coverage?
Make sure your RV is fully covered before ever leaving your driveway. Hibbs Insurance offers can help you tailor coverage to your needs and offers policies with options such as Personal Effect Coverage, Roadside Assistance, and Vacation Liability. Call 270-554-2105 today and ask about safe driver discounts, original owner discounts, package discounts and more.

How to Rock Your Boarding School Essay
The dreaded boarding school essay: Where do I start? How do I know that the Admissions Committee will like what I write? Should I be honest? How long should it be? When pondering the essay you need to write for your SSAT application to a private school, all of these questions—and more—will go through your mind. The process may seem daunting, but have no fear, the Admissions Office at Avon Old Farms, the best boarding school for boys in CT, has a few tips on writing a standout essay for your private school application!
Be Authentic
At this point in the application process, you have visited and interviewed at the schools you're applying to. The admissions committee knows you fairly well by now, so go ahead and tell them something that they don't already know! Now is the time to fascinate the reader with interesting and unique tidbits about what makes you you.
Find a way to grab the admissions associates' attention right off the bat. Your goal is to hook the reader in with a remarkable statement he or she will not read in any other applicant's essay.
Snoozer Statement: "When I went to Puerto Rico to serve with the Red Cross Relief program, I gained experience in helping others. I delivered water to families that didn't have any and I learned a lot."
Rockin' Statement: "Through my service in Puerto Rico with the Red Cross Relief program, I was able to see beyond myself and peer through the eyes of people in need. In particular, I remember delivering water to a woman who desperately needed it. Instead of grabbing the package from me, she made sure her neighbors had their cases of water first. That woman's unselfishness in the face of dehydration taught me that no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in, we can still care for others."
Be Honest
Never model an admissions essay around what you think the admissions committee would like to hear. Trying to predict what should be said doesn't work in this discipline because there is no "correct" essay. Each essay should be different and represent the character of the author. With this being said, don't try to write the next New York Times Best Seller. Just be true to yourself.
Cringy Statement: "At Avon Old Farms School, the number one, absolutely phenomenal, amazing boarding school for boys in New England and the entire world, I intend on fulfilling the school's mission statement to be a young man of integrity who is prepared for college. I hereby swear to uphold the core values of the school and will model brotherhood and scholarship every day I am at the school."
Rockin' Statement: "I'm excited that Avon Old Farms has a thriving Environmental Club and beehives because I understand the importance of caring for our planet. For the past two years, I have volunteered at our local farm and am looking forward to opportunities to learn more about sustainability and beekeeping."
Revise, Revise, and Then Revise Again
A well-revised essay shows the admissions committee that you have taken the time to diligently exhibit your intelligence. Essays containing several spelling and grammar errors will reflect poorly upon your application as a whole. If you take the time to reference the name of a specific school, make sure that it is the right one! The last thing that you want is a glowing essay ending with "I hope to be given the opportunity to attend X-school," when you are sending the essay to Y-school.
Lazy Statement: "When I get to Super School, i hop to excel and be youre favorite student!!!!"
Rockin' Statement: "Avon Old Farms School is an institution I can envision myself growing immensely at."
Follow Directions
The guidelines for your personal statement (Question #5 on the SSAT Standard Application) are put in place for a reason.
- You're instructed to write on one of the three topics; so, don't write three different essays, one for each question.
- You're instructed to write between 250-500 words; therefore, don't try to show the admissions committee how much you can write by constructing a 1000-word piece. Similarly, don't skimp and write a 50-word statement. Stay within the constraints of the word-count.
Admissions committees across the nation expect students who are applying to private schools to be able to follow directions, so be sure to review the essay guidelines before writing.
Key Takeaway
Remember, admissions associates around the nation read hundreds—even thousands—of personal statements each year. How will you be honest and authentic? Take it upon yourself to OWN your essay. Write about what you want to write about. This piece of your application is a great opportunity to tell the admissions committee something that you did not get across during your school visit. View the essay-writing process as an opportunity as opposed to another chore because a rockin' boarding school essay can make a huge difference in your enrollment journey.

Ayobami Egunyomi is a Franklin Williams intern for Africa Policy Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, DC. She received her BA in International Relations from Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis. She is a native Nigerian.
The decade after Nigeria's independence, Africans referred to it as "the giant of Africa," with the promise of great things to come for the newly minted African nation. Fifty-seven years after, it is a different story. Plagued by myriad problems, the future of Nigeria in its current form, with less than twenty years as a democracy under its belt, is bleak. Fortunately, the people's consciousness of the severity of the situation is growing.
More on:
The country is witnessing a renewed firmament for the secession of Biafra by the Southeasterners and support for restructuring by the Southwesterners. Even Nigerian elites, such as Bola Tinubu, Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, Emeka Anyaoku, and former vice president of Nigeria Atiku Abubakar, are lending their voices to support restructuring the country. The increasing clamor for change should be unsurprising considering how numerous the problems are that the country has been plunged into, including poor infrastructure, lack of good governance, endemic corruption in all sectors, as well as ethnic and religious tensions.
Restructuring in order to enable true federalism represents a first step to solving the challenges the country faces. Nigeria practiced true federalism and regionalism in the 1960s as enshrined in the 1960 and 1963 Nigerian constitutions. However, with the emergence of the 1966 Military junta in Nigeria came the destruction of this system, and Nigeria has since been unable to return. One of the most viable ideas put forward for restructuring Nigeria is a new system that will subsume the thirty six states into their already-present six geopolitical zones. These zones would then become self-governing regions, with their own local governments under the auspices of a less powerful federal government. The regions increased autonomy would enable them to look inward and develop more self-reliant local economies, as opposed to relying on 'handouts' of oil revenue from the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja). Western Nigeria is rich with cocoa and limestone, the South with oil palm, coal, and crude oil, and the North with agricultural resources such as groundnut and cotton. As these regions turn inward for wealth creation and development and hold themselves accountable, they will help create a vibrant and diverse national economy that can propel Nigeria forward.
Contrary to popular belief, regionalism does not pose a threat to nationalism. Instead, it furthers the cause of developing a national identity by promoting equitable regional development throughout the country. This is because uneven development among the regions has bred resentment that eventually expresses itself in the form of ethnic and religious tensions. Suffice to say, restructuring would reduce such ethnic and religious tensions. Since Nigerians are largely loyal to religion and ethnicity, it would not be hard to convince them that restructuring might be the solution because restructuring would be done along ethnic and religious lines. Moreover, it will silence the agitation of the unrelenting Biafra and Niger Delta movements by giving them a region with the autonomy they seek.
True federalism will send the old recycled politicians back to their tent as there will be less concentration of power in the center, hence less reliance on the 'national cake'—the vast oil wealth of Nigeria that it distributes through Abuja to the rest of the country. Hopefully, by removing this concentration of wealth and temptation, this new system can at least begin to address the bane of corruption. While these politicians could take this menace of corruption to the regional level, it is unlikely to be so, as citizens would be better able to hold their regional leaders accountable when they see other regions flourish, encouraging friendly competition among these regions. This form of accountability, one that is closer to home and not in the far-away capital, is what is needed to make Nigeria work.

HILLSDALE — The Hillsdale Kiwanis recently honored Tom Osborne with the Walter Zeller Fellowship Award.
The Walter Zeller Fellowship is named for Walter Zeller, who made the first gift to establish the Kiwanis International Foundation in 1940. His idea was to inspire fellow Kiwanians to build on his donation.

The Hillsdale Kiwanis Club has made a siginificant impact on almost 10,000 women and their future babies from this dreaded disease. Tetanus is a painful and deadly disease that steals the lives of thousands of innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The Hillsdale Kiwanis donation to the Walter Zeller Fellowship will have a significant impact on many women and their future babies from the deadly disease of tetanus in honor of Tom Osborne.
Osborne has twice served as president of the Kiwanis Club of Hillsdale and is currently Kiwanis Club Treasurer. He also very active in supporting the many children's related projects and activities of the Kiwanis organization. He has served on the Club Board of Directors.

"How can it be a large career to tell other people's children the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? No. A woman's function is laborious because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. I will pity Mrs. Jones because of the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness." – G.K. Chesterton

Are we losing our democracy? Are elections being manipulated? And what can be done to protect our votes?
These are the questions examined in the documentary Stealing America: Vote by Vote, which will be shown at Niles Discovery Church, 36600 Niles Blvd., Fremont, on Saturday, May 12, at 1:30 p.m. This screening, part of the Second Saturday Documentary Series, is free and open to the public.
Stealing America examines the state of election manipulation as of 2008 in the United States. The film focuses on voter disenfranchisement, the use of electronic voting machines, and voting anomalies such as uncounted ballots, inaccurate final vote tallies, and vote switching.
The screening will be followed by a discussion, led by author and expert, Dr. Jonathan Simon. He will bring updated information about what has been done, what new vulnerabilities have been discovered, and what we can do as citizens to protect the most basic part of our democracy: elections.
The Second Saturday Documentary Series is co-sponsored by Niles Discovery Church and the San Jose Peace and Justice Center. Learn more about the series at http://bit.ly/nilesssds.

I had the movie, Transformers, thrust in front of me last night when my younger son got it out of the video shop. My initial reaction was: shall I go and do something else? In fact, Transformers turned out to be a sharp and funny movie, with some off-the-wall characters, and an ability to make an action movie interesting as well as spectacular.
I must admit I lost track of which Transformer was which much of the time, and to have the nastiest of them all, Megatron, frozen for most of the movie was a bit of a mistake I think, but I enjoyed the vocal characterizations (the transformers learned to speak off the World Wide Web) and the visuals were splendid.
But it was more of a surprise to have a bunch of actors in amongst all the technology who were interesting people. Shia LeBeouf (whom I'd forgotten until I checked I'd seen in Holes several years ago) was full of energy, wit, and verve; Megan Fox transformed a role that could have been nothing but a sex figure into something human; Rachael Taylor's wonderful Tasmanian accent grated against all the US ones, and Kevin Dunn and Julie White as LeBeouf's parents were superbly cast. John Turturro makes the most of a wonderfully obsessive Sector 7 agent.
And the minor characters are often unexpectedly interesting, such as the Indian telephone operator who's more interested in the right way to make the phone call than in contacting the Pentagon for an emergency; or the crazy Black computer geek and his family.
There are times when the action's over the top, but in the middle of it all there's this wonderful humour, which gives the film life. It's as if the writers decided that straight action wasn't get this movie into the A-stream, and they were probably right. So they put some scenes in that will give the adults something interesting, and this balances the whole thing out admirably.
I should have gone to see it on the big screen – huge things cease to be huge on the small – but not having done so, I'll have to watch it again and try and work what's actually happening in some of the grunty fight scenes.
By the way, I watched it with comments from my son and son-in-law about who all the Transformers were, what their histories were, whether they'd actually ever had any of them as children and so on. I was rather astonished at the detailed remembering of this curious craze.

Chapter 573: Xia Guanghan, Unable to Escape Death
The dark red sin flames burned shockingly as nine sin imprint tails restricted its body.
The destructive wind fairy couldn't move at all, and was only able to withstand the torture of the sin flames!
And this moment, Xia Guanghan was feeling the same as the destructive wind fairy. Though he wasn't receiving any attacks, his repeatedly damaged soul was choking the life out of him. His veins bulged out on his extremely pale face, and his eyes seemed to be popping out!
Finally, the destructive wind fairy was killed!
As the destructive wind fairy's body was slowly disintegrated by the sin flames, Xia Guanghan's face was twisted even further with pain. However, standing opposite of him was this particular young man. The shame was what caused Xia Guanghan the real pain!
Just as Chu Mu said, who was controlling who's life, who was playing with who's fate?
Back in Nightmare Palace and Prison Island, Chu Mu had always had to find escape from Xia Guanghan's hands. However, after leaving the eternal sea, which trained Chu Mu from a soft boy to a determined young man, Chu Mu had always controlled his own fate.
"Damned!! Damn it!!! The ending can't be like this!! The finale definitely doesn't happen like this!!" Xia Guanghan shouted madly.
Shame and failure were in reality the hardest to accept. especially when he fell to a person he once could have crushed like an ant. In fact, he didn't even want to admit that he was the sole reason why today had become a reality!
"My fate has always been in my hands, yet you have always been just a small stepping stone on my path." Chu Mu said calmly to Xia Guanghan.
At this moment, the hatred in Chu Mu's heart had faded away. Chu Mu knew that, without Xia Guanghan's pressure, he wouldn't be where he was today. Though Chu Mu knew he was still just a smidge in the massive soul pet world, if he had just given up at the time, Chu Mu would definitely regret not being able to stand up and break through mediocrity. He would instead watch as his dignity was shattered and be utterly helpless about it!
"You, you have no reason to talk down to me! Just because you can kill me, what can that prove? It's just your luck! If you didn't have this continuously mutating soul pet, you are nothing, and I would easily kill you!" Xia Guanghan glared deadly at Chu Mu and said angrily.
Chu Mu had to admit that everything changed because he owned Mo Xie!
Chu Mu similarly agreed that he was an incredibly fortunate person.
However, Chu Mu had never relaxed his efforts to become the strongest due to Mo Xie's continuous mutation, neither had he ever slacked off!
Chu Mu got the chance to transform, and he tightly grasped this opportunity to become the strongest he could ever be!
One could say that, other than going into a coma, every night Chu Mu experienced was through meditation, while his day would be filled with constant battles. The luxurious cities, countless entertainments, countless relazations, Chu Mu didn't step into them a single time. The world was boundless, with countless safe havens, yet Chu Mu only walked the most dangerous bewildering worlds!
Even after stepping out of eternal ocean, Chu Mu never stopped battling, and neither did he ever let the fire of his beliefs die out.
Today, he could control Xia Guanghan's life. Chu Mu didn't feel any happiness from this, however, because Chu Mu knew that, as long as he didn't die, this scene was inevitable; Xia Guanghan was bound to be stamped upon by him, and someone like him wasn't even worthy of being a true adversary for him!
Because Xia Guanghan was too greedy, because of anger and jealousy, he completely lost himself to plotting and didn't seek to strengthen himself. He didn't understand that true power stemmed from within, from belief and confidence in oneself. Xia Guanghan, who once had a place in Nightmare Palace of Tianxia city, was rendered nameless. Even the first tier member Qin ye was more powerful than he was! If he knew to get more powerful, knew to challenge himself, he would probably be near tenth rank title holder. If that were the case, even if Mo Xie mutated, he could still defeat Chu Mu. However, he didn't…...
Someone who didn't understand the true nature of an expert will ultimately become the trash in the eyes of true experts, living petty and withered lives!
"You no longer are qualified to be my opponent." Chu Mu turned around and gave Mo Xie a command.
Xia Guanghan had to die, Chu Mu won't give him any reason to stay live!
Mo Xie's gaze was ice cold. Chu Mu's resentment dissipated when he saw just how pathetic Xia Guanghan truly was. However, Mo Xie's built up anger couldn't be dissolved so easily!
Mo Xie lifted her claw and slowly gathered a ball of sin flames.
Xia Guanghan stared closely at Mo Xie, looking as if he was insane.
However, just as Mo Xie's claws moved, Xia Guanghan's muttered incantation finished!
Xia Guanghan's body started becoming ghostly. By the time Mo Xie's sin flame darted up, Xia Guanghan's body had already disappeared, becoming a ghost-like being that floated upwards!
"Hahahah!!! Killing Xia Guanghan isn't that simple!!" Xia Guanghan laughed out loud maniacally. His ghost body quickly floated towards the cracks in the sealed space!
Facing Xia Guanghan with this special soul technique, Chu Mu simply glanced at him slightly and didn't show much astonishment.
"White Nightmare." Chu Mu gave White Nightmare a command.
White Nightmare quickly casted displacement specter, and easily followed Xia Guanghan's ghostly body!
Middle rank nine underworld devil flames sprouted upwards. Powerful soul burning energy went straight into Xia Guanghan's body. Xia GUanghan's soul was already extremely fragile. The lethal flames quickly burned his ghostly body.
"Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah!!!!!!!!!!"
Xia Guanghan's painful shout came out. Inside the nine underworld devil flames, his face was twisted, like a ghost, staring at Chu Mu.
"As the body was burned by nine underworld devil flames, Xia Guanghan roared painfully, "Chu Mu, your life will end by the hands of a woman. One day, she will kill you! I, Xia Guanghan, will be a grudging devil down in hell!!"
After White Nightmare burned an organism to death, it wouldn't become a ghost. So, after Xia Guanghan finished the last curse, he had utterly disappeared from this world!
Xia Guanghan's last soul technique was a completely useless struggle. This ghost type technique may not be able to be captured by Mo Xie, but White Nightmare's painful devil flames were the counter to all ghost types. Xia Guanghan's vain struggles were simply causing him to die more painfully!
With the death of Xia Guanghan, the battle finally completed.
Ye Qingzi, Ye Wansheng, and Princess Jin Rou all let out a breath. However, Princess Jin Rou noticed Xia GFuanghan's last sentence and asked Chu Mu quietly, "The woman he mentioned…."
"Nothing, just rambles of a dying man." Chu Mu shook his head and didn't answer.
In reality, Xia Guanghan's words caused Chu Mu's heart to shake. Though Xia Guanghan didn't reveal everything, Chu Mu knew that the woman definitely was the defector woman.
Xia Guanghan had plotted with the defector woman. If Xia Guanghan was the defector woman's subordinate, or if Xia Guanghan was the person defector woman sent to kill him, then that meant Chu Mu was constantly under surveillance!
Xia Guanghan appearing at Gangluo City Chu Family was already a strange event. If it pertained to the defector young girl, however, the two could be connected!
Ye Qingzi stared weakly at Chu Mu. She always habitually wanted to think for Chu Mu. Normally, she could also guess that the woman was most likely the defector woman…..
However, Ye Qingzi clearly barely had the ability to think now. All she felt was countless poisonous bugs eating away at her. To not affect Chu Mu's battle, she hadn't made a single noise. But now, the pain was all over her body, causing her to be unable to stand.
"Qingzi?" Ye Wansheng noticed his sister's situation and quickly went to support her, face full of worry.
Chu Mu immediately came back to his senses and remembered to bring Ye Qingzi back to heal. If anything happened to Ye QIngzi, Chu Mu wouldn't forgive himself. After all, Xia Guanghan and Qin Ye clearly came for him; Ye Qingzi was brought in involuntarily.
"Young master, leave this sealed space first. The sealed space is shaking. If we don't leave soon, there will be big trouble." Old Li said.
Chu Mu nodded and grabbed Ye Qingzi and jumped onto Mo Xies body.
"Wuwu~~~" Mo Xie was also worried for Ye QIngzi, letting out a faint call.
Scared of Ye QIngzi getting hurt again, Mo Xie wrapped on of her tails around to hold Ye Qingzi so she could lay down more comfortably.
"Mo Xie, break open that seal." chu Mu said.
Chu Mu and Mo Xie broke through the seal to enter the sealed space. The seal had self-healing functions, which was why Ye Wansheng, Princess Jin Rou, and Ye Qingzi couldn't leave the seal when Chu Mu battled.
Mo Xie's claws shined with a silver glow. With the appearance of the silver moon mark on her forehead, the seal breaking powers adhered to Mo Xie's claws again!
One claw created another large crack in the seal!
Chu Mu told Ye Wansheng and Princess Jin Rou to leave first before finally bringing Zhan Ye and White Nightmare out.
Very quickly, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi returned to the blood beast altar. He found Princess jin Rou and Ye Wansheng both standing stock still, so he asked questioningly, "What's wrong?"
"The rock statue guards." Ye Wansheng said as he gazed across the entire plaza, overwhelmed with shock.
At this moment, the plaza originally full of monarch rank rock statue guards was no longer the same. The most terrifying change was the mountains of corpses piled everywhere, creating a stunning scene!!Previous Chapter Next Chapter

According to a study recently conducted by the Home Instead Senior Care network, for seniors 70 years and older, as the number of prescription medications increases, so does potential health risks and challenges with medication management. This research found the majority (57%) of seniors in North America who were surveyed are taking four or more prescription medications daily, with more than one-fourth (27%) taking six or more medications. We find this statistic to be consistent with our Minneapolis home care clients.
The research goes on to show that nearly 20% of seniors surveyed who are taking five or more prescription medications have reportedly experienced challenges in managing their daily medication regimen, including keeping track of which medications they have taken and when. This alarming statistic appeared to increase when both the age of the person and the number of prescribed medications increased.
In order to provide families with the resources needed to help identify potential pitfalls facing seniors and their medications, the Home Instead Senior Care network has introduced the public education program Let's Talk about Rx. This program will help family caregivers begin the often difficult conversation about this important issue and offers a number of resources to the family and their senior loved one. Sometimes just having the conversation is difficult since medication management can be personal and something seniors may have taken care of on their own for many years. Raising the question of possible medication issues with your senior can be a touchy subject, but can be made easier if approached the right way. Asking any of the following questions may help to open the door to a discussion about these potentially difficult topics:
- "I want you to be as healthy as possible. Do you ever feel unusual after taking your medications, like dizzy, light-headed or confused?"
- I'd like to help you better understand your medications. Is there anything about your prescriptions that concerns you?"
- "That's an awful lot of pills. How do you manage to keep track of them?"
Conversation starters, like these above, as well as other resources are available on the website www.LetsTalkAboutRx.com. This helpful and easy to navigate website is brought to you by the Home Instead Senior Care network, and serves as an online resource, tools, and solutions center for families and caregivers of seniors. Here you will find informative articles, such as 10 Tips to Help Seniors Avoid Medication Mistakes. This article mentions using a medication tracker worksheet, using a pill organization system, and introduces Simple Meds by Home Instead. Simple Meds is a simple and convenient way to take medication correctly. Medications are sorted and conveniently organized into single serving packets by a Simple Meds pharmacist, as well as labeled with the date and time they should be taken. Even using something basic like a weekly pill organizer that has 4 compartments labeled with the dosage time of day would be helpful to keep several prescriptions and dosage amounts, times straight. Our friends at Liberty Oxygen and Medical Equipment have several items that may be helpful, such as a pill splitter or pill organizers. You can stop in to any of their eight Minneapolis/St. Paul metro locations to find these and other products to help keep your senior loved one safe and healthy.
The goal of Home Instead's public service program Let's Talk about Rx is to strengthen the role family members can take to help reduce the potential for medication-related health risks, and to help them feel confident about their senior loved one being safe at home. Don't let your loved one be one of the more than 100,000 older adults in North America who are hospitalized each year due to medical problems. Plenty of programs stress the importance of talking to teenagers about the dangers of drug misuse. But who's talking to Minnesota seniors? Visit www.LetsTalkAboutRx.com today and start the conversation.

10 My son, if sinful men entice you,
do not give in to them.
11 If they say, "Come along with us;
let's lie in wait for innocent blood,
let's ambush some harmless soul;
12 let's swallow them alive, like the grave,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
The wise father knows his son is likely to be tempted, so he warns him in advance. The first verse here is a rule of thumb. Don't go along with sinful men, regardless of circumstances. They may appeal to your ego and boast about the fun you'll have with them, but nothing good will come of it. Choose your companions wisely, because you will all end up in the same place.
While it may not happen right away, the wrong sort of friends will invite you into trouble. It is much better to have avoided such people in the first place, as peer pressure can be a difficult thing to resist. Yet you must put your values above your friends. If the two are in conflict, go with your values. If you associate with people who enjoy taking advantage of people, what makes you think they won't also take advantage of you?
"Let's swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit." It is fitting that these people liken themselves to the grave, as they have much in common with it. Is there any joy to be found there? Any hope? Any contentment? Nor are these things to be found in the company of sinners. Their appetites are never satisfied, their lives are full of pessimism and disappointment. Let them go down to the pit without you; you will be glad you did.

My grandma Myrtle Wienke used to make the best chocolate pudding. Sometimes she would poor it into a graham cracker crust and serve it as chocolate pie. She taught my mom to make that pie, and my mom taught me. I guess you could say it is a family recipe.
I make it at thanksgiving, and Christmas, and sometimes when I just feel like having pie. This summer, I made several pies at once to give to a neighbor fighting through a health issue. Making a quadruple batch has become the norm for me. It takes a big pot and an even bigger spoon to keep that pudding from burning as it thickens.
I'm not a cook. But I do make deserts from time to time. Maybe I will make chocolate pie at a writing retreat in the future. 🙂

The #DeltaDatingWall, a product of the partnership between Delta and dating app Tinder, revamps the airline's current Brooklyn walls. The building displays the airport codes of the 133 different destinations that Delta flies to out of both The John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia airports. Each airport code is unique, composed of certain colors and objects that represent that location. For example, the "F" in FRA (Frankfurt International Airport, Germany) resembles a mug of beer, and the cow/ ice cream cone represented in the BTV (Burlington International Airport in Vermont) artwork is only fitting for the home of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Now that you have a head start, Delta is also asking passersby to find these particular distinctions and share them on Instagram with the chance of winning a prize.
One of the primary purposes of this installation is to acknowledge and appreciate the different hometowns of people in the NYC area. Delta did an incredible job celebrating each of the specific hometowns by recognizing what gives them their distinct personalities. Delta has extended this artwork to social media by implementing the Instagram challenge, a Snapchat filter, a Facebook shoppable post (in the works), even an online store where you can purchase different types of merchandise (shirts, mugs, and hats) with the airport code graphics on them. This fresh paint job will live on the #DeltaDatingWall until August 27th.
This space was originally used for a different purpose—to trick your Tinder match into thinking you're a world traveler. Earlier in the summer, Delta painted exotic locales of places they fly to for selfie opportunities with the objective of bolstering your Tinder profile (hence, "Dating Wall"). While most people probably weren't fooled, the installation became widely successful nonetheless.
