I would endorse what Martin is saying here. If you combine this with what I proposed in my earlier postings about the ACTUATE and SHOW attributes not being appropriate as on XML-LINK elements, it seems to me you would get something like the following: 1) All elements, whether links or not, can have a BEHAVIOR attribute 2) The value of this attribute is the name of a BEHAVIOR which has been declared through a <!BEHAVIOR ...> declaration 3) The declaration associates the named BEHAVIOR with a local processor and/or stylesheet 4) The stylesheet, if present, uses a syntax which is understood by the processor. 5) The styleheet provides rules and/or additional data which determine how the content of the XML instance is to be handled by the processor 6) If the processor is one whose primary purpose is to provide a formatted display of the content of the XML instance, then the stylesheet syntax could be something like CSS or DSSSL-O. However, if the purpose of the processor is to offer other functionality - such as database storage and manipulation, or the provision of an interface through which user can interact in complex ways with the content of the XML document - then the stylesheet syntax would need to be appropriate to the nature of that task. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Bryan [SMTP:email@example.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 1997 9:21 AM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: Update on namespaces At 23:06 9/6/97 -0700, Jon Bosak wrote: >4...., it is necessary to be able >to get more than one category of "meaning" about a given element. >These different semantic axes may have to come from different places. >For example, in <birthday>19850527</birthday> it may be necessary to >point to one specification in order to indicate that the content >refers to someone's date of birth and to a different specification to >indicate that content happens in this case to be in ISO format.

I'm not convinced that inheritance of name-space is the correct way to cope with the fact that this element's contents are in ISO 8601 format. This information has nothing to do with the name space of the birthday element, or whose birthday it is. It is simply a notation used to encode the data, and should be noted as such in some notation or encoding attribute. What is really important is that this element needs some behaviour associated with it before it can be presented to real users, and that this behaviour is dependent on the environment of the user (which language he speaks, what date convertors are available on the local operating system,....). What you need is a namespace that redirects the notation name to a local processor. This is what SGML notation declarations seek to do. The question that we should really be asking ourselves is "What we need namespaces for?". If it is simply to attach processing methods to elements then we need a general purpose behaviour naming property that can be indirected to local processes. If you don't want to use NOTATION for what it is designed for then you need something along the lines of: <!BEHAVIOUR ISO8601 MODULE-NAME date.class > ... <birthday behaviour="ISO8601">12850527</birthday> Such behaviourism is not an extension of the explicit behaviourism that forms part of style sheet specifications, as some have suggested, because the indirection must be handled at system/user level and not at the generating system level. (Though I would like to be able to change my mind on this if DSSSL-O could be extended to provide a good, and simple, mechanism for local overriding of formatting behaviour!) I have advocated before (more times than I like to remember) the need for being able to attach behaviour to any XML element, not just links. We cannot process XML forms without a behaviour attribute, so any EDI application of XML must add behaviour to the specification. It would be nice if this could be generalized. I suspect that this is really what many of the people talking about the need for namespaces really want. Martin Bryan ---- Martin Bryan, The SGML Centre, Churchdown, Glos.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Paul Pate says he has a plan to fix Iowa voting laws … and he needs $1 million to enact it.
Today the Republican Secretary of State announced a piece of legislation he is proposing to lawmakers for the 2017 session. Lawmakers return to work on Monday and Pate wants the plan passed within the first 30 days of the session.
Pate says there are two guiding principals to his job and to his new plan: make voting in Iowa more accessible and more secure.
To accomplish that Pate says it is time to require voters to show identification before casting a ballot. Any state or federal ID would be acceptable. That includes a driver's license, a military ID or a passport. However a college ID would not be acceptable.
If a voter doesn't have one of those forms of identification they could be issued a special voting ID.
Pate's plan would also require all voting precincts in the state to have electronic voter log books to make sure voter rolls are up to date on election day.
Voter fraud cases are rare in the state of Iowa. Pate was questioned Thursday if his proposal is actually a solution in search of a problem. Pate says his job is to ensure there are no problems and this action would simply further that and modernize our voting system.
Pate is asking for $1 million to pay for the plan. If that money is approved he says the plan could be in affect as soon as 2018 but likely wouldn't happen until the 2020 election.

text: INAYA DAY: The Voice You Know! Whether it's Hip Hop, R&B, Funk, or House music, she's in there. You've heard her voice on Mousse T's "HORNY", on "NASTY GIRL", and "KEEP PUSHIN", but we must go on to mention a few others like, I AM THA 1, GLAMOROUS LIFE, MOVIN UP, SHOUT IT OUT, and REACH OUT TO ME. She's had numerous UK, Aria, and Billboard top tens, (including 6 Billboard #1 dance/club play-charters), with no signs of stopping! In 2013, MAKE SOME NOISE with DJ Escape & Tony Coluccio, blessed INAYA with another top 10 slot; making it her 12th to date. Besides writing for herself, INAYA has written for Bootsy Collins, Randy Crawford, and Missy Elliot, to name just a few. In addition to house music, INAYA writes,records and performs gospel, musical theater, jazz, R&B, and Hip-Hop, (QUEEN LATIFAH, MC LYTE, MISSY ELLIOT, SEAN PUFFY COMBS, BIG DADDY CANE, etc). Seeking to gain more control over the fate of her music, Inaya has started her own record label , Ny-O-Dae Music, from which she's released the titles, HIGHER PLACE, CHASE ME, THAT NIGHT, ONE WAY (which graced the ARIA chart in 2011 and 2012), the reggae flavored, "JUMP UP & DOWN", LOOKING FORWARD and no, ROCK THIS PARTY. Inaya also had a moment in film when she acted and sang as "Jiffy" in "WHO SHOT PAT?" with Sandra Bullock in 1989. It's no wonder that this card-carrying member of the Actor's Equity Association, groomed in church and musical theater (THE WIZ, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, etc), would become one of the most prolific writers and frequently heard voices on the Universe's dance floors. Listen out for current singles from Inaya including Frankie Knuckles presents Director's Cut, LETS STAY HOME, her collaboration with DJ Escape, MAKE SOME NOISE, Little Louie Vega's production, CITY LIFE, and more; OUT NOW in all digital retail stores.

Conduct full inventories, check-ins, and periodic management visits. At the check-out conduct side-by-side comparison inspections right on your mobile device and generate side-by-side comparison reports to easily depict change in condition over time.
Let provides simple deposit scheme compliance, comprehensive property inspection data in hours, transcribed dictations from your mobile device, fully customised branded reports, and a property report history available 24/7.
Imfuna is an impressive tool for recording inventory data through a choice of templates, then editing and creating reports. The team at Imfuna have been brilliant at guiding me through step by step. It's great to be able to customise your reports to your own brand and have the tenants comment/sign electronically.
Imfuna Let has provided the perfect inventory system for our busy property management business. After trying 4 other systems, Imfuna Let was recommended to me by numerous happy customers, and it has been an absolute pleasure to use.
Imfuna support staff are always thoroughly helpful - any issues, queries, or requests are always skillfully satisfied without fail. Perfect support staff, knowledgeable technical staff together with great software, all making an ideal business tool. Love it! Many thanks to all.
Imfuna is simply the best tool I have used in conducting my check-ins and check-outs. There is nothing simpler and more fun to use. The app comes loaded with many features which make inventories so effective and successful. I could not think of using anything else when it comes to conducting my inventories.
I couldn't do my job without Imfuna. The support throughout the team is brilliant!
Brings incredible efficiency and accuracy to a process which has historically been inefficient and fraught with error.
Imfuna is an absolutely brilliant platform to conduct property reports, but it wouldn't be half as useful if it wasn't for the superb customer service that comes along with it. Imfuna is a fantastically effective and easy-to-use product.
Natalie and the team are always very happy to assist! 5 stars - keep up the good work!
We get quite a few positive comments on how good the finished reports look, and from what we've seen from other software programmes, Imfuna's does look the best in our opinion. We're really happy using Imfuna, thanks for providing such a fantastic software!
We researched a lot of companies and we found Imfuna had everything we wanted within an inventory company. And the benefits and features they offered were more than we hoped for.
The Imfuna software makes it easy for the clerks to perform the inventories, which speeds up the whole process for us to analyse the data and therefore distribute it to our students. I would definitely recommend Imfuna to other accommodation companies.
Imfuna provides us a detailed, real-time document that both we the agent and the tenant can feel confident in: it is thorough and outlines perfectly a property's inventory. Imfuna has certainly raised the agency standard for inventory detail which ultimately helps us avoid any disputes, as now everything is more clear and concise with no wriggle room!
Fantastic help and service, best customer support I have ever had in relation to a system that we use. Thank you so much.
Inspections are one of the most daunting and tedious pieces of paperwork we have to do in our job, in my opinion at least. And for the FIRST TIME EVER, I'm actually enjoying doing them! I couldn't wait to get stuck back into things today on the Imfuna program. Playing, changing and adding...
Typing and editing a home inspection report used to take a considerable amount of time until I started using IMFUNA home inspection software. Being able to completely edit and send my report shortly after the home inspection is done is amazing. IMFUNA has significantly reduced my time and stress of generating a quality report for my clients and/or realtors. Great customer service, support and customization of reports for your home inspection business - 5 stars.
I was initially a little reluctant to get started on this new way of working due to a habit and fear of new technology. However, once I started to use the system, I can only say that it has transformed my week...
I no longer have to work nights and weekends, and all reports are completed for the client within 24-48 hours, rather than the usual 5 working days.
I would thoroughly recommend the system to other Surveyors.

Light Indexed Deferred Rendering
Damian Trebilco posted a paper and demo of an interesting approach to deferred rendering on the Beyond3D forums. Instead of rendering out several buffers of geometry information (gbuffers), the author renders the light volumes with unique IDs into a buffer. Standard forward rendering is then used and the per-pixel light indices are used to index light information. The great benefit of doing it this way is that you don't have all of the bandwidth of outputting these gbuffers. Once you turn on MSAA, these already large buffers become increasingly costly. Another benefit is that handling transparent surfaces becomes much easier.
With this approach, the worry of packing geometry and material information into as few gbuffers as possible is replaced with the worry of storing your light IDs and handling the max number of lights that might overlap one pixel. There are a few other gotchas, but you should read the paper for a comparison with standard forward rendering and traditional deferred rendering. Worth a read!
I3D 2008 Papers and Registration
I3D 2008 (Feb 15th-17th) is creeping up on us quickly. Early registration ends in about 15 minutes @ the I3D website. Papers have begun to trickle into Kensen Huang's graphics conference paper page for I3D 2008.
A few papers of interest that have jumped out at me are:
Bouthors et al. Interactive multiple anisotropic scattering in clouds ( gallery/thread on gamedev.net)
Modeling anisotropic light scattering in clouds with beautiful results.
Kim Hardware-Aware Analysis and Optimization of Stable Fluids
The author analyzes performance of Stam's Stable Fluids algorithm in terms of load/store : ALU ratio and access patterns, reports experimental results supporting theorized performance, and offers two optimizations to alleviate the bandwidth bottleneck.
Wyman Hierarchical Caustic Maps
Haven't had a chance to look at this one yet but caustics papers always warrant a look IMHO.
Kloetzli et al. Interactive Volume Isosurface Rendering using BT Volumes
Paper isn't publicly available yet but I've seen the algorithm running and it is sweet.
Caustics Mapping: An Image-space Technique for Real-time Caustics
I wish I hadn't waited so long to read this paper. It's got three of my favorite things in a graphics paper: it's image-space, it's got a proof rather than hand waving, and it's clever! It contains some damned pretty images too.
The setup is pretty much the same as every image-space rendering algorithm. You render a few buffers (3D position and normal) of the refractive object from the view of the light. Like most image-space algorithms, you want to consider each texel in these buffers to be a small surface. To calculate the caustics on the scene, you want to know where the light refracted through each of these surfaces ends up in the 3D scene. This is the hard part about rendering caustics, because you need to know where the refracted ray intersects the scene. Ray-scene intersection on the GPU = impractical (though obviously not impossible). This is the problem that this paper takes a hack at.
By additionally rendering the 3D positions of the scene (sans-refractive object) from the view of the light, this algorithm totally bypasses explicit ray-scene intersection. The paper outlines an iterative method which moves toward the correct distance along the refracted ray at which it intersects a scene surface, in image-space. The algorithm is as follows:
Assume an initial distance d along the refracted ray
do for some number of iterations:
- Backproject the 3D position P1 at length d along the ray into view space of the camera
- Use the calculated view space position to get the 3D position P2 of the scene from the scene position buffer
- Use the distance between the P1 and P2 as the new estimate for d
The paper offers a proof of convergence based on Newton's method. By repeating this process for each texel in the refractive object buffer and splatting the refracted flux onto the scene at the 3D position calculated by the iterative process above, voila caustics.
One problem with a naive implementation is that the amount of flux splatted onto the scene is dependent on the number of texels covered by the refractive object in the refractive object buffers. The paper states that the flux contribution of each texel is the flux at the surface (N dot L) multiplied by the reciprocal of the projected area of the object in the refracted object buffer. The paper doesn't state this, but I believe that this should additionally be multiplied by a fresnel term. The projected area is calculated by performing an occlusion query from the view of the light.
I think the method in this paper is very practical. The frame rates are fantastic. They suggest two buffers for the refractive objective information but it could be stored in one RGBA texture by storing depth in one channel and backprojecting/unprojecting the depth to 3D position. This will save a bit on bandwidth and utilize the ALU a bit more.

Friday night football could be one idea the Club pursues to help the team on the pitch, according to Torquay United general manager, Geoff Harrop.
"Friday night football always excited me as a player, and fans have told me that it is something that they would like to see back at Plainmoor," said Harrop.
"Moving some of our fixtures to a Friday night would allow more fans to come to the game, including footballers that play on a Saturday.
"I'd like to know what our fans think of the idea, and if they are in favour then it is something we can investigate further."
We're running a poll on our Twitter and Facebook pages and fans can offer their views by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Macclesfield Town have played Dover Athletic on a Friday night already this season. Both clubs need to agree to the date change in order for the game to be switched to a Friday night.

CNN Poll Shows Trump Beating Biden By 7 Points In Key States
Who would have thought that hiding in a basement could lose you an election?
A CNN poll indicates that President Trump is comfortably ahead of Sleepy Joe Biden in fifteen key battleground states, leading by seven points, 52 to 45 percent.
#NEW @CNN Key Battleground State* Poll:
Trump 52%
Biden 45%
— Political Polls (@PpollingNumbers) May 13, 2020
CNN also noted that "The results suggest that younger voters in the battleground states are tilted in favor of Trump, a stark change from the last CNN poll in which battleground voters were analyzed in March."
The numbers in the poll indicate that Trump should win in an electoral landslide.
He is even leading in states that Hillary Clinton won four years ago, such as Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Minesotta, Viriginia, Maine, and New Hampshire.
Who would have thought that hiding in a basement, and barely being able to string a sentence together could lose you an election?
Leftist Guardian Writer Tweets Desire to Physically Attack Conservative MP in Front of His Children
"They need to know what a rank shithouse their dad is."
A leftist podcaster who writes for the Guardian has tweeted his desire to physically attack a Conservative MP in front of his children.
Andy Dawson, who writes for major left-wing newspapers the Guardian and the Mirror and also co-hosts a podcast called Athletico Mince, was responding to a tweet by Sarah Vine, wife of Michael Gove MP.
"As someone who has been followed and insulted in the street in front of my own children, I would say that this is a classic example of what happens when a Twitter mob spills into real life. Terrifying and disproportionate," tweeted Vine.
She was responding to video footage of Dominic Cummings being harassed by his own neighbors in response to a controversy where critics claimed Cummings, an advisor to Boris Johnson, violated lockdown to travel north in search of urgent care for his child.
Dawson chose to express his anger over seeing Gove defend Cummings on television by threatening to viciously attack Gove and have his children witness their father being beaten up.

Exactly what democracy is left in the UK? pic.twitter.com/DJS4xYk8Jp
— Chris Tomlinson (@TomlinsonCJ) May 26, 2020
"Hey you – I see your cunt of a husband is lying through his fucking teeth all over the TV this morning," tweeted Dawson. "I'd pay hard cash to chase the fucker down the street and boot him in the balls, and DEFINITELY in front of your kids cuz they need to know what a rank shithouse their dad is," he added.
Dawson locked down his Twitter account soon after he started receiving backlash for the tweet.
"Verified leftist Andy Dawson, a writer for the Guardian and the Daily Mirror, not only advocates for political violence (ie terrorism) against a sitting cabinet minister, he's willing to finance it as well. Exactly what democracy is left in the UK?" asked Breitbart's Chris Tomlinson.
The "so much for the tolerant left" cliché has been a meme for years, but this once again underscores how the same people who continually whine about abuse, harassment and hate are in fact the most hateful people in politics.
It also highlights the two tier system operated by social media giants like Twitter, which routinely bans conservatives for their opinions yet allows clear threats of violence, even against elected members of Parliament, to go unpunished.
Suffice to say, Dawson's verified account remains very much active.
However, he isn't receiving much back up, with even leftists surprised by his vicious outburst.
Was a big fan of this podcast, but not gonna be listening to it again, not while Andy Dawson is still there. His childish outburst against Sarah Vine has put me off the idea of supporting him in any way. I don't like the tories either, you don't have to be cruel about it. 🙁

Joe Biden Emerges From His Basement
Sleepy Joe sees the outside world for first time since March
Joe Biden was pictured outside of his basement for the first time since March Monday, in a stark reminder that the only Democratic candidate for President remaining was in hiding for two months.

We are 161 days out from the election…And Joe Biden wants you to know that he will beat Joe Biden. Biden has set himself up for disaster. He is clearly an old school racist from a bygone era. His latest statements have created a neverending storm of criticism. Democrats are scrambling to normalize the damage. Promoting questionable poll numbers as their schizophrenic ideology clashes. Regardless everyone knows that Joe Biden doesn't stand a chance. We are all just patiently awaiting what will be the most embarrassing Presidential debate in U.S. History.

Biden Tells Black Show Host "You Ain't Black" if You Prefer Trump
Uncle Joe strikes again.
Joe Biden is facing a backlash for yet another disastrous interview during which he told the Breakfast Club's black host, "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."
The faux pas occurred 17 minutes into the former vice-president's interview with Charlamagne tha God.
When a Biden aide tried to end the interview, Charlamagne responded, "You can't do that to black media."
This is disgusting.

— Trump War Room – Text TRUMP to 88022 & get the APP (@TrumpWarRoom) May 22, 2020
This prompted Biden to hit back that he would have to leave whether dealing with "white media" or "black media" because his wife had an upcoming engagement.
"I tell you if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black," said Biden.
Charlamagne responded by insisting, "it has nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with the fact that I want something for my community"
The host then asked Biden to return to the show to answer more questions, spurring Biden into an aggressive-sounding defense of his record with the black community.
"Take a look at my record. I extended the Voting Rights Act for 25 years. I have a record that is second to none. The NAACP's endorsed me every time I've run. Take a look at the record," said Biden.
Biden agreed to return, but his "you ain't black" comment caused an immediate backlash online.
A poll subsequently posted by the Breakfast Club asked if viewers agreed with Biden or not.
#joebiden said "If you have a problem figuring out if you are for him or Trump.. you ain't black" Do you agree ??
— The Breakfast Club (@breakfastclubam) May 22, 2020
The results currently show that almost 90% of respondents are upset with Biden's comments.
This is yet another reminder of why Biden's campaign is so keen to keep him away from the media.

PM2 Process ManagementAliza
Managing applications states
PM2 is a process manager. It manages your applications states, so you can start, stop, restart and delete processes.
Start a process:
pm2 start app.js --name "my-api"
pm2 start web.js --name "web-interface"
Now let's say you need to stop the web-interface:
pm2 stop web-interface
As you can see the process hasn't disappeared. It's still there but in
stopped status.
To restart it just do:
pm2 restart web-interface
NB: starting PM2 2.1.x, restarts are immutable, meaning that environment changes will not change your process, see –update-env
Now you want to delete the app from the PM2 process list. You just have to enter the following commands:
pm2 delete web-interface
Since PM2
2.4.0, you can also restart/delete/stop/reload applications via regex (this one will only restart
http-1 and
http-2 but not
pm2 restart /http-[1,2]/
Note : Regex are defined by leading and ending '/' and they are tested against applications name only (not the process id).
You can declare options via configuration file too.
Process listing
To list all running processes:
pm2 list
# Or
pm2 [list|ls|l|status]
To get more details about a specific process:
pm2 show 0
Process sorting
To sort all running processes:
pm2 list --sort name:desc
# Or
pm2 list --sort [name|id|pid|memory|cpu|status|uptime][:asc|desc]
By default sorting field is "name" and order is "asc".
Start any process type
For scripts in other languages:
pm2 start echo.pl --interpreter=perl
pm2 start echo.coffee
pm2 start echo.php
pm2 start echo.py
pm2 start echo.sh
pm2 start echo.rb
The interpreter is set by default with this equivalence:
".sh": "bash",
".py": "python",
".rb": "ruby",
".coffee" : "coffee",
".php": "php",
".pl" : "perl",
".js" : "node"
Binary code execution
pm2 start ./binary-app
Process configuration
To run a non-JS interpreter you must set
exec_mode to
fork_mode and
exec_interpreter to your interpreter of choice. For example:
"apps" : [{
"name" : "bash-worker",
"script" : "./a-bash-script",
"exec_interpreter": "bash",
"exec_mode" : "fork_mode"
}, {
"name" : "ruby-worker",
"script" : "./some-ruby-script",
"exec_interpreter": "ruby",
"exec_mode" : "fork_mode"
Max Memory Restart
PM2 allows to restart an application based on a memory limit.
Note that the max memory restart options are graceful (if your application supports graceful actions of course).
pm2 start big-array.js --max-memory-restart 20M
"name" : "max_mem",
"script" : "big-array.js",
"max_memory_restart" : "20M"
name : "max_mem",
script : "big-array.js",
max_memory_restart : "20M"
}, function(err, proc) {
// Processing
Units can be K(ilobyte), M(egabyte), G(igabyte).

First you must create your sport. So click on "Add new" at the top of this page and you would type "Soccer" and keep the drop down as "--Root--". This will create the sport "Soccer". It will be an option added to the "Sport" dropdown on the whole website.
Now you must create an organization that belongs to that sport. In this example, you would type "Bundesliga" and select "Soccer" from the drop down. Now, you have created an organization under a sport.
Mark "Team Sport" checkbox if it's a team sport (like Soccer, Football, Basketball, Rugby etc etc).
Note: it should be applied not just for organization, but for sport too.
3. Manage Events Page
On this page, you will set up events for all your organizations and sports. Event means a day, weekend, month, season or any other period of time when games are being played.

Payout Percentage: in this field you define the payout percentage that will go to user. I.e. Entry fee is $1, league size is 10 users and payout percentage is set to 90%. So it will be $10 in the "bank" once contest room is full and once the contest is finished end users will get $9 and admin will get $1.

Quick, easy and healthy meals are my favorite type of meals. I also don't necessarily differentiate what types of food I eat for different meals. For the most part, I have a few meals that I love to make and will eat at any time of the day. A lot of people find that weird and I can't really argue with them. I have weird eating habits, what can I say? One of my favorite go-to meals that I will eat when ever is a delicious acai bowl. Memphis doesn't exactly have a large acai bowl market, so after I moved I started making my own. So here goes with my recipe for a yummy acai bowl.
Tag: Healthy
Hawaiian Chicken Tacos
Eating Well is one of my favorite cooking magazines and websites to find recipes in/on. The recipes are fairly healthy and easy to adapt to fit your needs and tastes. Being from California tacos and fajitas are one favorite foods and they can be quick and easy to make. One of my recent favorites is an adaptation of this Eating Well recipe. Plus the recipe is dairy, egg, nut and gluten free!
Summer Salad
Cooking. One of my favorite hobbies. Recently, I have been trying to cut back how often I eat out, which means I have been cooking a lot more. The problem is I am not the type of person that can eat the same thing over and over again. My max for eating the same thing in a week is about three-four times. This means, I have been trying A LOT of new recipes. This is one of my favorites and was adapted from this recipe from Eating Well. It is super easy to make and yummy as can be!

- Profit – "Improving customer experience and retention is key to furthering success."
- Healthcare – The premium cost for health care insurance has doubled since 2001 from $2,889 to 5,963 in 2015. Many small businesses are dropping insurance due to the high premium rates. These challenges will continue into the New Year.

The Conversation
The Unique Harm of Sexual Abuse in the Black Community was published in The Conversation, which is a news outlet for researchers to translate their work for a non-academic audience of over 10 million users.
"The body of research to date suggests that cultural betrayal may be a unique harm within violence in minority populations, including the black community. As such, the alleged sexual traumas perpetrated by R. Kelly and Clarence Thomas have a cultural betrayal that isn't found in Woody Allen's alleged abuse. Moreover, black men's death threats against Tarana Burke are (intra)cultural pressure that is laced with misogynoir, or sexism in the black community."
The research study featured in this article is Isn't It All About Victimization? (Intra)cultural Pressure and Cultural Betrayal Trauma in Ethnic Minority College Women (Gómez, 2018).
Also published on the International Society for Research on Aggression (ISRA) Blog, featured on Today@Wayne, and re-published by over 15 other news outlets.
As of 30 January 2020, the article has over 10,500 readers.

Gender Discrimination: Professors Are/Not Professors
In an attempt to uphold gender discrimination, University of Oregon (UO) is insisting that professors do not hold the same job re the Freyd vs. UO lawsuit.
My response in The Register-Guard Oregon newspaper, with lots of links from the case:
"UO is actively promoting gender discrimination through its legal team's argument that professors do not hold the same job. If upheld, this ruling has the potential to undermine equality for women and minority faculty at UO and across the nation for decades to come.
Though I can't prevent UO from its behavior in this case, there are people at UO right now who can. From President Michael Schill to General Counsel Kevin Reed to the board of trustees. It's not too late. UO could still choose to live up to its mission of equity and inclusion. If for no other reason, UO could remember that its reputation as a top public university is on the line. Gender equality matters at universities like UO.
The world is watching."

CNN Business
Interviewed by Julia Carpenter for her CNN Business article, Serena Williams' Nike ad exposes the double standards women face at work.
"Women in the workplace are tasked with the additional work of managing these perceptions, Gómez says.
"So much time is spent worrying adapting your speech and figuring out what to say and how you can say it differently and that is taking away from time and energy and effort for your job," she says. "It's a job for you to figure out 'how can I say this in this meeting without people painting me in this emotion corner?' and I think the trap with that is that it's not in the woman's control."

Who's Betraying Who? R. Kelly, Sexual Violence, & The Dismissal of Black Women & Girls
"The second truth is where it seems we consistently get into trouble: The rape of Black women and girls does matter. . . As a Black female clinical psychologist, I have coined the term cultural betrayal to describe instances where violence happens within the Black community. . . Nevertheless, in these discussions of sexual violence, often what is termed "betrayal" is something quite different. . . We must ask ourselves why."--Dr. Jennifer M. Gómez

Black Women & #MeToo
Op-ed comparing Ford/Kavanaugh with Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas: "Black Women & #MeToo: The Violence of Silencing" translates research on cultural betrayal trauma theory to the general public.
"Following a quarter of a century - from the testimonies of Anita Hill, J.D., to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford - the U.S. is still struggling: with both how not to violate women, as well as how not to silence them. More difficult still is attuning to the crosshairs that Black women additional face related to race, class, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, disability, nation of origin, and the intersection of these and other identities. Through centralizing various forms of oppression in addressing sexual violence against Black women, I can only hope that in 2045 - 27 years from now, we are not still haunted with these same ghosts of violence, silencing, and denial of Black women's experiences."--Dr. Jennifer M. Gómez

CNN Business
Interviewed by Julia Carpenter for her CNN Business article, Minority employees are often asked to work double-duty.
This "double shift" is common in many workplaces. White, cisgender or straight colleagues may be fearful of accidentally saying the wrong thing. So instead, they task employees of different races, backgrounds or sexual orientations with the "diversity work" that otherwise wouldn't get done.
"I don't think people realize how much emotional time it takes and how much physical time it takes," says Jennifer Gómez, . . . Wayne State University. "I believe that oftentimes it's seen as 'It's not my issue. I'm a white person. Racism isn't my issue. It's not about me. It's about those people over there.' and really, diversity and equity is everyone's responsibility."

CNN Money
Interviewed by Julia Carpenter for her CNN Money article, The 'Emotional Tax' Afflicting Women of Color at Work.
This is where offices and managers can step in to lift the burden, experts say. The first step is focusing on retention as well as recruitment.
"Don't just focus on getting people here, but listening when they are here," Gómez says. "Sometimes in the workplace it can be 'OK, we have two women of color on staff, they're gonna be in charge of the diversity committee and they're gonna fix it.' If we want to make this workplace one that isn't rife with racism, sexism, and sexual harassment, then it's all of our jobs."

Featured in the Wayne State University Spotlight on Postdoctoral Scholar Series for Cultural Betrayal Trauma Theory
December 2017
Work featured in article, "New Trauma Theory Examines Cultural Betrayal" in the Wayne State University Merrill Palmer Skillman Institute newsletter, Imprints.
"Dr. Jennifer M. Gómez, MPSI's new post-doctoral fellow, has revealed yet another critical factor: cultural betrayal. . . 'If a Black woman is raped by a Black man, the racial loyalty is also disrupted. A member of her 'group' has turned on her,' Dr. Gómez said. These effects happen in ethnic minority groups, because years of racial oppression by 'outsiders' can foster deep loyalty between members. Members unite for support, validation and a sense of community. This circle of trust can be protective and secure. When within-group violence between members breaks this (intra)cultural trust, though, the effects of this cultural betrayal trauma can intensify. The victim may feel shunned by the group that used to protect her. She may have no safe haven, no one to trust."

Best Article of 2016
"Shifting the focus: Nonpathologizing approaches to healing from betrayal trauma through an emphasis on relational care" won the Richard P. Kluft Award for Journal of Trauma & Dissociation 2016 Best Article!
Authors: Jennifer M. Gómez, Jenn Lewis, Laura K. Noll, Alec Smidt, & Pamela Birrell
"This article provides an excellent framework for understanding the complexities of working with survivors of trauma. It successfully describes the danger in pathologizing reactions to extreme stress and discusses an adaptive treatment model, relational cultural therapy, that emphasizes the importance of the relationship when working with survivors. The article incorporates both empirically supported treatment options as well as influences from all spheres of the socioecological model, including the importance of empowerment, in treating individuals who have experienced complex trauma." -JTD Selection Committee

Cited in Annual Report of the Director of Public Health
The above article was quoted in the Annual Report of the Director of Public Health, Adverse Childhood Experiences, Resilience and Trauma Informed Care: A Public Health Approach to Understanding and Responding to Adversity. (Scotland)
"There is a risk that professionals are seen as placing the 'pathology of trauma within the individual - often an individual who has been deeply betrayed - instead of within the person(s) or environment(s) responsible for the betrayal'121. Gomez et al argue that 'a nonpathologising model of trauma takes the stance that the abnormality is generally in the situation rather than the person. When the trauma is relational, it is the nature of the act that is unhealthy and not the individual who has experienced the act.'"--p. 52

Feature Story
University of Oregon Graduate School ran a feature on my work with cultural betrayal trauma theory, entitled, "A Promising Scholar's path from ballet to her own theory about culture and betrayal in trauma."
"Gómez consulted Crenshaw's Theory of Intersectionality, bell hooks Education as a Practice of Freedom, Audre Lorde's Sister Outsider, and Freyd's Betrayal Trauma Theory for her dissertation, which argues that within-group violence for minorities is uniquely harmful because of existing oppression . . . Cultural Betrayal Trauma Theory . . . hypothesizes that the harm of traumas such as physical assault, sexual assault, child abuse, incest, and domestic violence can be exacerbated by a cultural betrayal implicit in within-group violence in minority populations and associated with diverse outcomes, such as PTSD, depression, and internalized prejudice."- University of Oregon Graduate School.

Similar to a Dance Dance Revolution game, you really don In any music simulator, the sound and music is the heart of the game. Nowhere is that more true than in Guitar Hero.

The castle is concerned about tourists and police having to stand out in the open air while queuing to enter, according to the head of the Office of the Prague Castle, Vratislav Minář.
Minář promised new glass awnings will be installed to protect the tourists and police in the areas where security searches take place. "Tourists will be more protected from the weather, and the police will also become more comfortable at work", – said the representative of the Prague Castle. The security checks, brought in last year, will not undergo any changes.
Guests and local residents who want to get to the Castle will still be required to pass through metal detectors and to show the contents of personal belongings.

This website enables you to discover our range of wines, split between two châteaux: the Château La Grande Métairie and the Château Haut Dambert.
- Château La Grande Métairie, is meant to be resolutely modern – it's the subtle combination of fruit, smoothness and elegance. We produce four appellations: Bordeaux AOC Blanc, AOC Entre-deux-mers, Bordeaux AOC Rosé and Bordeaux AOC Rouge.
- Château Haut Dambert, is very traditional, with a perfect harmony between the land, the old vines and oak maturation – it is our range of Bordeaux Supérieur AOC.
I enjoy making these different wines very much. Passionate and fond of my job, my main objective is to strike, for each vintage, the right balance between the climate, the soil and the vine to pick up the best grapes, as it is well known that good wine is made in the vineyard – the winemaker only maximizes its potential. It involves constant listening and presence to adapt and modify (if it is necessary), a parameter in the vineyard as much as in the winery.
If this virtual tour piques your curiosity and makes you want to taste my wines, please feel free to contact us, I will be delighted to receive you and to pass on a bit of my passion to you.

If God has something to tell you, s/he will tell it to you. As soon as a "messenger" gets in the mix, God's word gets interpreted and filtered through someone less-than-God. You're not getting it from the source. I really don't believe God is telling George Bush to lead a bloody holy war in Iraq. It's probably just Cheney on the baby monitor during Dubya's nappy time.Or maybe God's message is along the lines of "bring peace to the world" and George interprets that as "kill everybody and everything." Then there will be peace! Thunder is God's way of saying "D'oh!"
I'm not anti-religion, per se. It's just when people think their religion is more right than others and that their God can beat up someone else's God, that we get into trouble. Big trouble. Like wars and stuff. Organized religions seem to feel they have a manifest destiny to spread their way of NOT thinking to the whole world.
What the extreme fundamental right of any religion forgets is that they were told a story and they chose to believe it. Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, etc., all have their own beautiful story full of courage and miracles. But it's still a story and it loses it's purity every time it's translated into a different language or modern vernacular. It's all open to interpretation and you can find pretty much whatever you want to find to support whatever closed-minded ideas you want to promote.
Spirituality is a being open to God and being in touch with nature and the universe. Spiritual is too often separate from religious, although it is available to everyone. Even atheists.
Here's a lovely quote from The Story of B by Daniel Quinn...
"Nothing in the community lives in isolation from the rest, not even the queens of social insects. Nothing lives only in itself, needing nothing from the community. Nothing lives only for itself, owing nothing to the community. Nothing is untouchable or untouched. Every life is on loan from the community from birth and without fail is paid back to the community in death. The community is a web of life, and every strand of the web is a path to all the other strands. Nothing is exempt or excused. Nothing is special. Nothing lives on a strand by itself, unconnected to the rest. ...Nothing is wasted, not a drop of water or a molecule of protein- or the egg of a fly. This is the sweetness and the miracle of it all... Everything that lives is food for another. Everything that feeds is ultimately itself fed upon or in death returns its substance to the community."
Your life is on loan. You never know when your promissory note will be due. Believe in whatever story you want to believe in, but we are all connected and we don't all need to be of the same religion to love and respect each other. We don't all need to be going to the same Sunday potluck and rummage sale for the world to finally be all right. We can connect with what we have in common. There's room for everyone and, as long as you're not sacrificing animals or virgins, any religion.
Except for the Methodists. Those shifty assholes really need to be kept in check.

"The New York Times newspaper is cutting costs by doing what?"

The most popular answer with 50% was "Reselling day old papers to pet stores." Nope. Animals and humans may continue to deposit their "opinions" onto the news for free.
No one picked the correct answer which was "Reducing the size of their pages."
According to Editor & Publisher, the NYT has reduced the width or their pages by an inch and a half to cut expenses. Their new motto? "All the news that's fit to shrink."

BW can't end a phone conversation
Over there in the hills and hollers of Calvertville where I was found one day under a cabbage leaf and taken in to raise, we had a phone system with the switchboard anchored in the living room of Edith and Harry Buckner's house and you could listen as others talked; many did.
It is difficult then and now for some people, I am going to say it, especially women, to end a phone conversation before the shot clock sounds. I overheard BW talking to our daughter last week.
BW: Well, I must go and get busy. I have a 100 things to get done before Friday evening. Oh, I meant to ask you, are you attending the family reunion Saturday? The last I heard only about half of the group will be there. I hope you do.
[Daughter talk]
BW: Well we hope you do. Really, I must go get some things done. Did you hear that the K2 renovation work is progressing quite well? TW said that she is so tired of moving boxes and things from place to place.
[Daughter talk]
BW: I'll let you go, I don't want to take up any more of your time. How are the girls doing in school? Audrey is now in the band, and a leader of academics also. Tess is making excellent grades and is helpful and kind. Wonderful. You two are doing a wonderful job rearing our two granddaughters. We are so proud of them.
[Daughter talk]
BW: You are welcome. I know you are busy while the girls are at school. Did you see the program on TV about the Jungle?
BW: I need to go. What did we decide to do about Christmas gifts this year? You know it is our time to host the family gathering.
[Daughter talk]
BW: That is what I remember. That is all I needed. Are you going to make that wonderful salad for Thanksgiving? It is your dad's favorite and it wouldn't be Thanksgiving dinner without it.
[Daughter talk]
BW: I know, I know. Thanks for the advice about the seasonal decorations. Sometimes I try to do too much and miss out on the true meaning of the time. Do you still go as a family and cut a tree? I remember all of the years we did that when you and your sister were growing up. Those were special times. Now it is the artificial tree for us because it is easier. It looks alright especially with all of the decorations we have gathered over the years.
[Daughter talk]
BW: That is all I needed, now I can get started on my plans for the holidays that seem to come earlier each year. From Halloween through New Year's Day there is so much to get done and so many activities to attend it is tiring but exhilarating.
[Daughter talk]
BW: Do you remember what we did with that box of decorations we had in Decatur? The ones we wanted to save when we had grandchildren? I don't know either.
It has been great talking to you. I love you. Bye. By the way ...

ALEXANDRIA, Ind., March 20 (UPI) -- Country singer Rory Feek thanked the people of Alexandria, his late wife Joey's hometown in Indiana, for their support during her battle with cancer and subsequent death, as well as for the beautiful memorial they held in her honor.
Feek recalled in his latest This Life I Live blog post how he first traveled to the hamlet with Joey in 2002 and met her family after they had been dating for about two months.
He described how Joey showed him the farmhouse where she grew up, the high school where she studied and the places where she worked.
After asking her father's permission, Rory then proposed to Joey on the side of the road where her 17-year-old brother had been killed in an accident.
"So there we were, in the spot where her she felt her greatest pain. But this time I was the one who knelt, and I asked Joey to marry me. And we both cried. And together we prayed that God might take our broken hearts and our broken pasts and make something truly beautiful of them," Rory wrote.
"And He has. A million times over, He has. We have made a hundred trips back to Indiana since then. But none have been more special to me than the one we took this past Sunday [March 13.] We took one final tour-bus ride home. To Joey's town. To grieve with and celebrate with the people in her community. And to lift up one of their own with tears and joy and songs and speeches."
He went on to call the village: "Joey's town. My town."
"A place that might have seen it's better days, but is striving to make it's best days yet to come. A place where factories have closed their doors and jobs are scarce... where it's values and faith are being challenged at every turn... but it still somehow knows what is most important and shows it to it's children and to strangers that come to visit, like me," he said.
Rory further expressed his gratitude to the friends, neighbors and strangers who wouldn't take money from him for meals or oil changes, and who kindly brought home-cooked meals and other creature comforts to his family during their darkest hours.
"People just want to help. They feel your hurt and want to share your pain. They made something hard, a little easier," he said.
Joey died March 4 at the age of 40. She also left behind a 2-year-old daughter named Indiana.

Although it has been a fixture together with international retailers such as Zara, Hole, and H&M on high streets internationally for the previous decade or so, American Attire is unlike virtually all of its counterparts in the attire business on the subject of accountable business. That is often referred to as corporate social responsibility (CSR), which anyone from my college will know is Mr Harbertson's 'buzz-word' when it comes to business ethics. This strand of the story is perhaps the most outstanding within the thinking of the ordinary particular person when they hear the time period enterprise ethics. Donaldson deserves credit score for breaking out of the extant consensus in each, the narrower business ethics field as well as the overall gist in management studies with an revolutionary take on no less than three core research subjects. Big enterprise was coming into its personal, replacing small and medium-sized companies in the societal image of enterprise.
The structures may include clear traces of duty, a company ethics code, an ethics coaching program, an ombudsman or a company ethics officer, a scorching or assist line, a way of transmitting values throughout the firm and sustaining a certain corporate tradition, and so forth. Some companies have at all times been ethical and have structured themselves and their culture to bolster ethical behavior.
Norman Bowie dates the delivery of business ethics as November 1974, with the primary convention in business ethics, which was held at the College of Kansas, and which resulted within the first anthology used within the new courses that started popping up thereafter in enterprise ethics.
What they wrote helped inform a large number of lecturers who teach business ethics, and in flip has influenced a large number of college students who have gone on to be practitioners. The University of Wyoming is certainly one of ten enterprise faculties and one legislation college that participate in the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative. The books found a prepared market, and courses in enterprise ethics both in philosophy departments and in faculties of business developed quickly.
At current, there are at least 5 journals devoted to the sector (Business Ethics Quarterly, Business Ethics: A European Overview, Business & Society, Business & Society Review, Journal of Enterprise Ethics), and work in enterprise ethics seems in mainstream philosophy and social science journals as properly.

Pensions piss me off.
Of course, they are great when they work. My grandfather-in-law can attest to that. (He's an actuary's nightmare, soon to begin his 4th decade as a pensioner.)
However, pensions often do more harm than good. They put retirees (and future retirees) at risk, and they can cause tremendous tension in the worker/management relationship. Plus they turn a basic fee-for-service arrangement into a crapshoot, gambling retirement benefits against a company's future viability. I'll go into detail on these (and other) points another day.
What's a better alternative than pensions?
"Pay as you go."
Companies should give workers every penny of what they earned each month. Workers then choose how to allocate their earnings among different investment and benefit options. With no pension vesting/funding obligations haning over their heads, employees and employers can part ways at any point without screwing each other over.
Here's what I want to see... I want to see companies give each worker a complete accounting of his/her total compensation cost... Salary plus employers' share of taxes, plus health benefits, plus pension contributions, plus workers' compensation and liability insurance, plus subsidies for commuting, gym memberships, day care, parking, etc. Here's an example:
Nominal Salary: $50,000
Employer's FICA: $3,825
Unemployment / Disability: $500
Actuarial Pension Obligation: $10,000
Health Care Premiums: $4,800
WC / Liability Insurance: $4,000
Subsidies for parking, etc.: $1,200
Total Annual Employee Cost: $74,325
Employee's take-home pay after income tax withholding (30%): $35,000
Total taxes & benefits:$39,325
Showing these numbers would do a few things. First, it would make apples-to-apples comparisons a lot easier for people looking to switch jobs. More importantly, it should shock people to see how inefficient current compensation practices are (due largely to perversions in the tax code). Hopefully that would spark an interest in some overdue tax reforms.
But the most basic reason to show these numbers: it would make clear once and for all what the deal is between a worker and employer. For the work done in the past month, the fee is $74,325. There are no IOU's, no future benefits... Performance in exchange for consideration. At the end of the month, both parties are even.
If one believes the deal is unfair, there can be a renegotiation, or both parties can part ways. There would be no pension overhang keeping them together in spite of growing dissatisfaction.
Ah, well. The idea is well developed, but this posting is not my most coherent. Give me some time to polish it up.
