Insta-Saturday and What Happened to Week in the Life
So, my week in the life fizzled this week. I was on it Monday, Tuesday was a little harder, and by Wednesday, I didn't pick up my big camera once (I don't think). I realized why I was finally able to scrap a week in the life project last summer. It was SUMMER. I wasn't schooling, no kids in weekly activities, etc. Still, I want to figure out a plan for the two days that I really documented because there is some neat stuff there.
With that said, here are a couple pictures to wrap up the rest of the week that I captured in all our craziness on my phone. : )
Someone's soccer pictures. I can't stand the cuteness.
I have GOT to do something about this desk. Got. to.
In process: Thursday dinner.
We had a new friend over for a bit on Friday night and the little girls were smitten. Between this new one, and my BFF's new little girl, I can't tell you – literally – how many times the girls have wistfully commented that they still wish the boy was this size. I do to, a little bit, but he does sleep a bit more now. There is that to consider.
Happy Saturday. Ours is filled with soccer, groceries, and a family movie night as our Friday night was taken up with some music stuff for T. I need some catch-up time around the house (see my desk photo above as some of the evidence) so I'm off to make it a productive one. : )

Secretary of State Opens New £40M Facility at Mallusk
The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Paul Murphy, today in opening the new £40.5 million Diageo Baileys Global Supply facility at Mallusk, Belfast said, " such major investments by global companies like Diageo provide tangible evidence of the growing confidence of international investors since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement."
The Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Diageo plc, the international drinks group, already employs 50 people at Mallusk and hopes to employ a further 50 people over the next three years.
The 100,000 sq ft state-of-the-art production facility, which has received financial assistance from Invest Northern Ireland, will manufacture, bottle and pack Baileys Cream Liqueur for the global market. Production at Mallusk began in July this year.
Commenting on the investment, Mr Murphy said: "Diageo's significant investment is a further endorsement of Northern Ireland as a world class business location by a company with a global reputation for excellence. This increased confidence in Northern Ireland's future is also seen in the 258 development projects by existing companies assisted by Invest NI last year, a total investment of £400 million and one of the highest investment commitments in recent years.
"This new investment is a very significant boost for the area and the wider Northern Ireland economy which has grown steadily over the past decade and is now the most improved economy in the United Kingdom with unemployment at a historically low level of around five per cent - well below European averages. It will provide 100 new jobs in an area which has suffered a number of serious setbacks from the global economic downturn.
"Among the many qualities which have made Diageo a world leader and which underpin this investment are its commitment to innovation and enterprise – qualities which the Government and Invest Northern Ireland are proactively promoting through a wide range of initiatives that are designed to encourage greater self-reliance throughout the region.
"The group's focus on excellence has brought leading edge work practices to Northern Ireland and increases the overall capability, experience and skills base of the local manufacturing sector", he added.
Paul Walsh, Chief Executive Officer of Diageo plc, said: "This is a world class facility in terms of equipment, technology, culture, work practices and environmental care that is already making a very significant contribution to the continuing success of Baileys as a global market leader.
"The support we have received from Invest NI and the local community together with the skills and motivation of the people here have fully justified our decision to locate this important investment by the group in Northern Ireland."
He said the company is currently sourcing over £2 million per annum from local suppliers and will continue to explore options for using more Northern Ireland suppliers for its raw materials.

How literal must a literary translation be? Nabokov, who was fluent in three languages and wrote in two of them, believed that "the clumsiest literal translation is a thousand times more useful than the prettiest paraphrase." Borges, on the other hand, maintained that a translator should seek not to copy a text but to transform and enrich it. "Translation is a more advanced stage of civilization," Borges insisted—or, depending on the translation you come across, "a more advanced stage of writing." (He wrote the line in French, one of several languages he knew.)
In 2016, "The Vegetarian" became the first Korean-language novel to win the Man Booker International Prize, which was awarded to both its author, Han Kang, and its translator, Deborah Smith. In the English-speaking world, Smith, at the time a twenty-eight-year-old Ph.D. student who had begun learning Korean just six years earlier, was praised widely for her work. In the Korean media, however, the sense of national pride that attended Han's win—not to mention the twentyfold spike in printed copies of the book, which was a fairly modest success upon its initial publication, in 2007—was soon overshadowed by charges of mistranslation. Though Han had read and approved the translation, Huffington Post Korea asserted that it was completely "off the mark." Smith defended herself at the Seoul International Book Fair, saying, "I would only permit myself an infidelity for the sake of a greater fidelity."
The controversy reached many American readers in September of last year, when the Los Angeles Times published a piece by Charse Yun, a Korean-American who has taught courses in translation in Seoul. (The article extended an argument that Yun had first made, in July, in the online magazine Korea Exposé.) "Smith amplifies Han's spare, quiet style and embellishes it with adverbs, superlatives and other emphatic word choices that are nowhere in the original," Yun writes. "This doesn't just happen once or twice, but on virtually every other page." It's as though Raymond Carver had been made to sound like Charles Dickens, he adds. This isn't, in Yun's view, a matter merely of accuracy but also of cultural legibility. Korea has a rich and varied literary tradition—and a recent history that is intimately entangled with that of the West, particularly the U.S. But few works of Korean literature have had any success in the English-speaking world, and the country, despite its frequent presence in American headlines, does not register in the popular imagination the way that its larger neighbors China and Japan do. Han Kang seemed to fill that void—or begin to, at least. But if her success depended on mistranslation, how much had really got through?

At HOSTING, certain projects resonate as best practices. These real-life scenarios reinforce methodology and approaches to develop the best possible products. Healthcare.gov will likely be such a project — a reminder of what not to do.
In this two-part series, Parker Snyder of Migration Services at HOSTING draws upon prior lessons learned and best practices for mission-critical business applications, as it pertains to his thoughts on healthcare.gov.
In 2005 the Demonstration of Autonomous Rendezvous Technologies (DART) system was sent to service the MUBLCOM 3 satellite. A mere 11 hours into the flight, the satellite reported that the available propellant had been exhausted. This rendered the DART satellite inert and it eventually collided with the MUBLCOM 3 satellite. NASA declared a "Type A" mishap and launched an investigation. In the end, a configuration setting on the DART satellite's trusted set of source data ultimately led to a continually diverging set of erroneous numbers. This caused the guidance failure and collision of the satellite with its target – the MUBLCOM 3.
Through every troubleshooting scenario, I harken back to the MUBLCOM 3 incident because of the exhaustive amount of testing and analysis that was executed to determine the source of the incident. With extremely complicated systems it is somewhat of a gambler's fallacy that tends to lead us into the trap of expecting results based on synthetic testing and appraisal alone. As for healthcare.gov, I believe there were several things that could have been done better to successfully prepare.
Always bear in mind the eventual scope of your project. At face value you are creating something new — a product or design that has not yet been used by customers. Remember to start from a solid base of simplicity, which is the true key to vertical or horizontal scalability. Had the contractors for healthcare.gov really understood the likelihood of every user access and every possible dataset, they might have planned differently for millions of visitors and high volumes of form submissions and activities occurring all at once.
Design a system, throw it away, and then make the system correctly. In the book The Mythical Man-Month, Fred Brooks clarifies the idea of "The second-system effect:" we must be vigilant in our inherent tendency to incorporate all of the features of the first system into its second iteration. This ultimately leads to feature sets that cannot be realistically implemented, which in turn leads to Brooks' often stated "tendency towards irreducible number of errors" idea. In creating a large scale system, simplistically design the product or system first. Then realize what features are truly problematic, take the entire solution you just designed and throw it out.
This may seem counter intuitive, but it's the mental equivalent of sleeping on it. Personally, this is the most difficult mantra I grapple with. After all, how can I be wrong the first time? In reality, I often find that my second solution is more simplistic, resilient and can be scaled without the complexities I created in the first round.
Finally, humans are a pesky bunch and tend to not only improperly utilize a system, but also work intentionally (albeit subconsciously) to find where and how to "break" a system. Humans have an inherent drive to break what works out of curiosity. It reminds me of the Galaga arcade player which discovered that executing a sweep of the last two enemies without destroying them for a sufficient period would result in the enemies not firing for the duration of the game.
Now that the stage has been set for what Parker felt was wrong, stay tuned for his thoughts on how it can be done right tomorrow.

Health and wellbeing are increasingly seen as an important part of company culture, but almost a quarter (23%) of workers feel their organisation doesn't take it seriously enough.
That's according to a survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which questioned 2,000 workers across the UK.
As we've discussed before, workers are now spending longer sat down in front of their computer screens. And while the option to work from home has brought many benefits, one negative is that staff are finding it difficult to switch off from work when they get home, meaning they spend even more time sat at their desks.
All of this is having an effect on our physical and mental wellbeing, with our sedentary lifestyles now more dangerous than smoking.
What's more, the PwC research revealed that 83% of employees believe their wellbeing impacts their productivity.
So, how can you offset this sedentary life, improve productivity and boost wellbeing?
The answer is actually a lot simpler than you might think. As Verywell reveals, stretching can help achieve all of the above.
While they may just be simple exercises, your mental wellbeing will benefit from the mood boost. As Fitness Magazine explains, exercise can help reduce stress, tension and anxiety, not to mention the improvement it can make to cognitive performance.
Verywell recommends trying these simple stretches at your desk:
● Chest stretch — stop yourself hunching forward over your desk by taking your arms behind you and either use a resistance band or lace your fingers together. Then straighten your arms and gently lift your hands up until you feel a stretch in your chest.
● Shoulder shrugs — hunching causes tension in our muscles and our traps. Offset this by lifting the shoulders up towards the ears, squeezing as hard as you can and holding before rolling them back down. Repeat for 8-10 reps then roll the shoulders forward.
● Forearm stretch — typing all day can tighten your forearms. Stretch them out by stretching your arm out and turning the hand down so your fingers point to the floor. Use your other hand to gently pull the fingers towards you and hold for 10-30 seconds. Repeat on the other side.
● Neck stretch — Tension in the neck can cause headaches and upper back tension. Avoid this by grabbing the side of your chair with your right hand and gently pull while tilting your head to the left. Hold for 10-30 seconds and repeat on the other side.

Contrasting soils and landscapes of the Piedmont and Coastal Plain, eastern United States
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
The Piedmont and Coastal Plain physiographic provinces comprise 80 percent of the Atlantic Coastal states from New Jersey to Georgia. The provinces are climatically similar. The soil moisture regime is udic. The soil temperature regime is typically thermic from Virginia through Georgia, although it is mesic at altitudes above 400 m in Georgia and above 320 m in Virginia. The soil temperature regime is mesic for the Piedmont and Coastal Plain from Maryland through New Jersey. The tightly folded, structurally complex crystalline rocks of the Piedmont and the gently dipping "layer-cake" clastic sedimentary rocks and sediments of the Coastal Plain respond differently to weathering, pedogenesis, and erosion. The different responses result in two physiographically contrasting terrains; each has distinctive near-surface hydrology, regolith, drainage morphology, and morphometry.
The Piedmont is predominantly an erosional terrain. Interfluves are as narrow as 0.5 to 2 km, and are convex upward. Valleys are as narrow as 0.1 to 0.5 km and generally V-shaped in cross section. Alluvial terraces are rare and discontinuous. Soils in the Piedmont are typically less than 1 m thick, have less sand and more clay than Coastal Plain soils, and generally have not developed sandy epipedons. Infiltration rates for Piedmont soils are low at 6–15 cm/h. The soil/saprolite, soil/rock, and saprolite/rock boundaries are distinct (can be placed within 10 cm) and are characterized by ponding and/or lateral movement of water. Water movement through soil into saprolite, and from saprolite into rock, is along joints, foliation, bedding planes and faults. Soils and isotopic data indicate residence times consistent with a Pleistocene age for most Piedmont soils.
The Coastal Plain is both an erosional and a constructional terrain. Interfluves commonly are broader than 2 km and are flat. Valleys are commonly as wide as 1 km to greater than 10 km, and contain numerous alluvial and estuarine terrace sequences that can be correlated along valleys for tens of kilometers. Coastal Plain soils are typically as thick as 2 to 8 m, have high sand content throughout, and have sandy epipedons. These epipedons consist of both A and E horizons and are 1 to 4 m thick. In Coastal Plain soils, the boundaries are transitional between the solum and the underlying parent material and between weathered and unweathered parent material. Infiltration rates for Coastal Plain soils are typically higher at 13–28 cm/h, than are those for Piedmont soils. Indeed, for unconsolidated quartz sand, rates may exceed 50 cm/h. Water moves directly from the soil into the parent material through intergranularpores with only minor channelization along macropores, joints, and fractures. The comparatively high infiltration capacity results in relatively low surface runoff, and correspondingly less erosion than on the Piedmont uplands.
Due to differences in Piedmont and Coastal Plain erosion rates, topographic inversion is common along the Fall Zone; surfaces on Cenozoic sedimentary deposits of the Coastal Plain are higher than erosional surfaces on regolith weathered from late Precambrian to early Paleozoic crystalline rocks of the Piedmont. Isotopic, paleontologic, and soil data indicate that Coastal Plain surficial deposits are post-middle Miocene to Holocene in age, but most are from 5 to 2 Ma. Thus, the relatively uneroded surfaces comprise a Pliocene landscape. In the eastern third of the Coastal Plain, deposits that are less than 3.5 Ma include alluvial terraces, marine terraces and barrier/back-barrier complexes as morphostratigraphic units that cover thousands of square kilometers. Isotopic and soil data indicate that eastern Piedmont soils range from late Pliocene to Pleistocene in age, but are predominantly less than 2 Ma old. Thus, the eroded uplands of the Piedmont "peneplain" comprise a Pleistocene landscape.

Two New Penn professional drivers have won top honors for safe-driving skills in the states of Rhode Island and Pennsylvania. Marc Ditomasso placed first in the 4-axle class at the Rhode Island Truck Driving Championships. Rich Walton placed first in the 3-axle class at the Pennsylvania Truck Driving Championships.
Ditomasso and Walton will go on to compete in the 2012 National Truck Driving Championships in Minneapolis on August 7-11.
Ditomasso, who is based at the New Penn facility in Providence, is a city driver who currently has more than half a million consecutive safe-driving miles. He has worked in the transportation industry for 15 years, the last 12 years with New Penn. This will be his second time to compete at the national championships. He won a state title in the 4-axle class to qualify for nationals in 2009.
Ditomasso's inspiration is his father, Steve, a driver who retired after 27 years with Yellow Transportation and YRC Freight. The senior Ditomasso often participated in state contests and competed at the national championships five times. "I compete to follow in the footsteps of my father. He's the reason I drive safely every day. I know it makes him proud," said Ditomasso.
Walton has worked in the transportation industry for 31 years, the last 10 years with New Penn. He has been accident-free his entire New Penn career. Walton is a road driver and is based at the New Penn facility in Camp Hill. This will be Walton's third time at the national championships. He won state titles in the twin trailers class to qualify for the nationals in 2009 and 2010.
Walton has been participating in truck driving competitions since 1985. "I compete to improve my driving skills, keep up with the industry, and make friendships with drivers from other companies. The competitions make me a better driver. I think of my family, and I want everybody to be safer," Walton said.
"Working and driving safely every day takes practice, determination and focus. Competing at driving championships requires that same level of concentration. Professionals like Marc and Rich who lead through safety demonstrate the high quality service we provide to our customers each and every day," said Steve Gast, New Penn president.
New Penn drivers also competed at state driving championships in New York and Vermont in June. Top finishers in the New York contest were Pete Glogowski, who placed first in the pre-trip inspection contest and second in the 4-axle class, and Eric Consaul, who scored highest in the course driving portion of the competition. Both Glogowski and Consaul are based at the New Penn terminal in Rochester. In Vermont, Matt Ketcham placed third in the 4-axle class. He is based at the New Penn facility in Burlington.

As just about the entire world already knows, President Donald Trump has accomplished something that Clinton, Dubya and Obama consistently failed at. Namely, breaking the Kim Dynasty and their grip on nuclear weapons.
But before I go any further, allow me to say… hey liberals, suck it.
With that out of the way, can you imagine just how pissed-off Democrats are?
Not only has The Donald bigly punked-out Lil' Kim coming to the negotiations table, the North Korean despot will "refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests" according to Chung Eui-yong, South Korea's national security director as reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune.
As the South Korean spy chief also noted, he delivered a signed letter personally signed by Kim. Shockingly enough, Kim admitted he "understood that the U.S.-South Korean joint military exercises that are scheduled for this spring 'must continue.'"
Golly gee, ever get the feeling President Trump has his heel firmly clamped-down directly on Kim's throat?
Yeah, he does. Yet again, I feel compelled to say, hey liberals, suck it.
In light of Trump's steadfastness regarding the NoKo nuclear threat, the white-hot heat that burns deep in the hearts of members of the Jackass Party is something that just makes me so very, very happy.
And just to rub Democrat noses even harder in it, allow me to cite some of the text of Barack Obama's citation 2009 Nobel Peace Prize; (emphasis mine)
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.
Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened.
Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population.
Like every head-to-head competition, Trump has proven that capitalists are the do-ers, while socialists like Obama may deliver snappy (and previously written) speeches, they rarely actually do anything.

Donna in poltrona – Giacomo Manzù
Giacomo Manzù, art name of Giacomo Manzoni (Bergamo, December 22nd, 1908 – Rome, January 17th, 1991) was an Italian sculptor and two of his artworks are exhibited at the Grand Hotel:
"Donna in Poltrona" (Child in Chair), 1984, bronze (cm 135×127) in the hall and "Ulisse in piedi" (Standing Ulysses), 1983 bronze (cm 193×85) in the garden.
He was the twelfth child of Angelo Manzoni, shoemaker and sacristan, and Maria Pesenti; very early he started working and carving wood. His first approach to art was in Verona while performing the military service (1927/1928) and where he studied the doors of San Zeno church and the casts of the Academy of Fine Arts "Cignaroli".
His art incorporates the values of the ancient sculpture and is moved by a high civil and religious inspiration (see the series of Depositions and Crucifixions, 1940-43). His art is internationally and nationally acknowledged (see the door of Salzburg Cathedral, 1955-1958 and the so-called "Porta della Morte", the Death Door of St. Peter's Basilica, 1959-1964). He was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize (1966) and the International Feltrinelli Prize (1984).

The Comics of Syndicated Features: Adventures of the Red Mask
By far the most interesting strip in the Syndicated Features line-up was Adventures of the Red Mask. The Red Mask was a heroic figure pretty obviously inspired by The Phantom, which had debuted in newspapers less than six months earlier.
The strip was frenetically paced, and I haven't seen quite all the episodes, so there may be some holes in my understanding of the plot. It seems that the Red Mask is a deposed ruler over an island jungle kingdom. He's a wanted man by the new rulers, so he dons the mask while he tries to marshal his forces to regain power. While plotting to take back his kingdom, he gets involved with a bunch of silly rich folk who come to the island looking for a fellow who was marooned there some time before. In the process they wreck their boat and then manage to get separated into several groups. Much of the action involves the Red Mask saving them, collectively or individually, from various fates worse than death. One of the party, Robert Fear, turns out to be a black-hearted villain, a real Snidely Whiplash sort. The Red Mask and he fall in hate at first sight, and the real fun begins. It's all great fun, with just the lightest sprinkling of logic and plotting.
I have read on the interwebs that the Red Mask is heralded as the first black hero in comics. Well, you sure would think he is since he's the former ruler of a jungle kingdom, and all his subjects are black. Only problem is, the guy has wavy hair that constantly falls in his eyes. So unless his jungle has a real high-class hairstyling salon, I just can't see him being black. His skin is often colored darkly, but not consistently -- note the Caucasion and bluish (!) flesh tones above. However, he is always a different shade than his subjects. I'd say the guy is lily-white with a nice rich jungle tan.I can see why folks would assume he's black, though. Here are the first two episodes and they give that impression. Sorry, I don't have tearsheets of these:
These strips certainly give the impression that Maui, a black native, is the Red Mask. I think this has got to be a red herring though. I believe the lost man, Jason Armitage, is going to turn out to be the Red Mask -- it seems like a classic plot contrivance. Seemingly reveal the identity of the mystery man at the start, but pull a switch later on. I could be wrong (despite the wavy hair) and I can't prove it one way or the other. Y'see, we've got a bit of a problem. Adventures of the Red Mask ended with the 26th episode (the only Syndicated Features strip not to run for the whole life of the comic section), and it stops in mid-story. Here is the final strip, which is courtesy of Cole Johnson. Prepare to be disappointed:
Yup, the final episode is still in mid-story! We are left hanging never knowing the true identity of the Red Mask.
The feature is credited to George West, who neither I or Alex Jay can track down. Is it a pseudonym? The art is serviceable, but it's not a style that reminds me of someone else who'd want to hide behind a pen-name.
West is the only creator who didn't stick around for the entire run of the Syndicated Features tabloid section. Adventures of the Red Mask ended after episode #26, and was replaced the next week by Adventures of Nervy Nerts. The new strip was credited to George Scott, but I think it is possible, even probable that the new credit is just another pseudonym of the same guy.
Labels: Obscurities
Hmm. Interesting thought. He was ending his run on Bobby Thatcher shortly after this; maybe he was trying this out as a new gig, because he pretty much drops off my radar after Bobby Thatcher, until he pops back up doing comic book work in the 40s.
The style doesn't exactly scream George Storm to me (he's a bit more cartoony than this typically).
The style doesn't exactly scream George Storm to me (he's a bit more cartoony than this typically).
I've been puzzling over this, because a black hero being published while Jim Crow was the law in the South is fascinating. I don't think the Red Mask was originally meant to be Armitage—why call himself Maui if so? I agree we can't know what the writer would've done.
I also agree with the people who say he's Polynesian or Malaysian, not African, but that doesn't really distract from the fact that in his adventures, he's dark-skinned.

George Storm seems likely. The Red Mask appeared when he was thinking about leaving or had actually left Bobby Thatcher.Post a Comment

O'Ryan Law Firm, on behalf of their client, recently filed a lawsuit against a Liberty Mutual company, Liberty Life Assurance Company of Boston, for denial of a Dow Chemical employee's long term disability benefits. Our client was employed by Dow Chemical Company as a Global Adverse Effects Coordinator, responsible for ensuring compliance with the US FIFRA (Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act) regulations which protects consumers and the environment. As an employee of Dow Chemical, she was eligible for disability benefits under the Dow Chemical long term Disability insurance policy.
Dow Chemical is a large producer of plastics, including synthetic rubber. It is also a major producer of ethylene oxide, various acrylates, surfactants, and cellulose resins. It produces agricultural chemicals including the pesticide Lorsban and consumer products including Styrofoam.
After 27 years of working for Dow Chemical, our client was forced to stop working when she became disabled from the severe symptoms of Crohn's Disease. Crohn's Disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation of the digestive tract, which leads to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition. The inflammation caused by Crohn's disease often spreads deep into the layers of the affected bowel tissue and can be both painful and debilitating. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Crohn's Disease yet.

It's not 'cruel' to separate families at the border — children will be 'put into foster care or whatever'
Allow this as a start to the perfect example of an American long gone and a future of horrors. Trump blames a sick and unfathomable immigration policy of Democrats.
Now the horror.
"....or whatever."
If you know US politics (Ideology and practice) you know conservatives and their GOP are vehement in their opposition to immigration. The US is comprised of over a hundred million people who oppose the very fabric (immigration the 18th century) which was a foundation of the so-called "New World." Immigration to escape horrific conditions in their native countries is actually more aptly called refugees. In fact, if the history offered to us as children is correct, (and we have evidence it was not always correct) many who joined the New World were a variant of refugees for a better life. The nation has roots in immigration and yes, some were refugees. Yet, to think such seems far from the historic paradigm of the GOP.
As the standard barrier for the GOP and conservative America, Trump certainly foretold his handling of issues related to Immigration while declaring an intent to run in 2016. Trump's formal announcement after his now infamous escalator charade.
After one year we are hearing this based on the Trump Administration policy of separating immigrant children from their parents. Let's make certain the scene is clear/ We have ICE agents who have been ordered to take children from parents and facilitate housing the children in barracks? As you will see and hear in the following video segment (and it runs 11 plus minutes for good reason) some of the children (1500) are unaccounted for (excuse the ending preposition).
Trump's Chief of Staff recently responded to a question from an NPR host regarding the policy of using family separation as a means to an end.
On the administration's recently announced "zero tolerance" policy that calls for separating families who cross the border illegally and prosecuting them
"Let me step back and tell you that the vast majority of the people that move illegally into the United States are not bad people. They're not criminals. They're not MS-13. ... But they're also not people that would easily assimilate into the United States, into our modern society. They're overwhelmingly rural people. In the countries they come from, fourth-, fifth-, sixth-grade educations are kind of the norm. They don't speak English; obviously that's a big thing. ... They don't integrate well; they don't have skills. They're not bad people. They're coming here for a reason. And I sympathize with the reason. But the laws are the laws. ... The big point is they elected to come illegally into the United States, and this is a technique that no one hopes will be used extensively or for very long."
Could Trump have found a more facilitating authoritarian who consistently exhibits bigoted rhetoric as an indicator of his personal ideology? I suggest not as Chief of Staff. Kelly facilitates as effectively as another well-known adviser to international leaders who governed in autocratic states. A dangerous reality.
Kelly sought to clarify his statement, but remarks following his initial comments fall in the same overfilled basket of: "Oh I was inarticulate." A basket with a rare exception for a couple of cases of Dems misspeaking (e.g. Harry Reid on Obama's race as a potential candidate) is a basket as filled with GOP statements as your childhood Easter basket.
The Boston Globe ran a piece regarding Kelly's background and it reveals what we have come to expect from conservative America: Do as I say, not as I live.
Again the MSNBC segment which follows is not a short segment it runs a full 11 minutes and slightly longer. however, if you fail to educate and inform yourself, you are as guilty of facilitating-acquiescence to Trump's draconian policy as those who crafted the policy. Yes, a group of people associated with Trump sat in meetings to devise a policy which has led to a most shameful of policies.
A day later and after a barrage of concern expressed via social media and with the full expectation of what will come after the Hayes interview, Trump took to friendly media with typical carnival barking. "M13, M13, M13........." Trump has supported Kelly's statement via doubling down on references to immigration as a path for M13.
Speaking of the horrors of a Los Angles originated gang in no way works at rationalizing the policy of separating children from parents. Especially when the policy and practices lead to 1500 children someplace on Earth with no hope of a future...and possibly in the hands of abusive people.
"....or whatever."

The Human Lands are parts of the world populated almost exclusively by homo sapiens. The near exclusion of non-humans populations is an oddity to many and has caused some to believe that in prehistoric times humans either forced out or killed off the other intelligent species of these other continents, leaving the Furry continent as the sole remaining Earth land mass with substantial numbers of non-humans. Others believe that humans were the norm over much of the world but that Furries developed only on the one continent later after human populations came to rule the rest of the globe, or even that they forced out the humans early on. In fact there are many places where finding humans is incredibly hard to do.
OOC Notes
For ease in dealing with other regions outside the Furry Federation and to prevent the need to create a lot of background on the human lands one can assume that they are effectively the same as the real life lands and nations of Earth. Thus making the Furry Federation continent the 'oddity' in this time line.

Summary: A hike in to Sycamore Canyon with views
Challenge Level: Moderate to Hard
Hiking Distance: Approximately 5 miles one way, but we hiked only 3 miles and then turned around for a total of 6 miles
Trailhead Directions: The trail head for the Dogie Trail is about 20 miles from the center of Sedona, most of it on dirt roads (FR 525 connecting to FR 525C), is a bit bumpy but very scenic.
Description: This hike is moderate to hard, and it certainly would be hard if you hike the entire 5+ miles down into Sycamore Canyon. We hiked just 3 miles in, and would rate that as a moderate hike. But it's a "down-up" hike (that is, descending trail on the way in, ascending on the return when you're getting tired), so use good judgment about when to turn around.

Talk about being surprised, I was speechless (which for me is unheard of) when my bra, What's Black and White and Scary All Over? was selected as the top undergarment at last night's Success in the City Cups Full of Hope charity event for the Tigerlily Foundation, a breast cancer awareness and support group that helps women under 40 .
Success in the City (SITC) is a women's networking organization that celebrates the important relationships that women have with each other. We're about having fun, showing a little glam, and becoming friends. The friendship then becomes networking and the "deals on heels" follow. I've been a member of this organization almost from its inception and in full disclosure, I'm proud to sit on the advisory board.
SITC partnered with the Tigerlily Foundation and created the Cups Full of Hope charity event. People were encouraged to design a bra and submit it to a competition. The bras would be auctioned at the end with proceeds going to the foundation.
I'm not much into handicrafts and my talent is with words so I set out to create a "talking" bra. But I didn't know what to say. I thankfully have had little exposure to breast cancer in my life so I needed to find those words. I turned to the online breast cancer forums and read what women with breast cancer were saying. I was looking for good news. News of survival and rebirth. I didn't find any of that. I found women like me except they had become medical experts citing cancer diagnosis and mutation information along with detailed pharmacology reports. I found the realities of illness. The loss of vanity when you accept that you have no hair – anywhere on your body – due to chemotherapy. I saw another side of life. I learned that breast cancer for all of the great support and promotion that many amazing charities do is not pink and girlie. Breast cancer patients don't want to wear pink. Many are proud of their stories and survival but no one sets out to be a hero or an inspiration.
After several days of reading these threads and survivor stories I was exhausted, a bit depressed, and scared. So many women said that it's not a case of why me God but why not me? I was then faced with having to make a bra. I had some cute ideas and I wanted something funny but there is nothing funny about breast cancer. I wasn't able to make anything glamorous or fun. I bought two bras, one black and one white and sewed them together. I then took the black side and wrote what I had learned about the ugly side of cancer. One the white side I wrote about the not so pink side of recovery. The two halves are joined in the back by an emblem that says hope.
Fast forward to the event. The bras were in true Success in the City style – beautiful, funny, and over the top. Each bra was showcased on a Lucite stand and the tables were elegantly skirted. I walked the room and with dozens of entries there was a lot to see –hand painted designs, flowers, beads, googly eyes, gorgeous, whimsy, and glam. There quietly sat the ugliest bra in the world. I put a bid down on it so at least it wouldn't be left for the trash and I could take it home.
As they announced the runners up I slunk back a bit into the crowd, quietly waiting to make my escape home. When they announced my bra as the winner I was stunned. Ugly bra won. After the buzz calmed down one of the judges came to congratulate me. She is a pre-survivor. She has a genetic mutation that predisposes to both breast and ovarian cancer. She had seen the diseases sweep through her family and knew that it was inevitable. She chose to have a double mastectomy and hysterectomy. The pathology report after the operation reveaedl that some of her tissue was already in a pre-cancerous state. She told me that she and the other judges (also survivors) were immediately drawn to my submission because it got the message right. The fun bras were fun but my bra told the story of what this horrible cancer is all about.
I am proud that I got the message right and that I was able to make other people understand. As a writer, my greatest satisfaction comes from people telling me just that. I'm sad too because I was able to tell a horrible story. I'm still looking for the good news. Everyone is. And though ugly bra won, the glam bras are fantastic too because that is what women make when they come together to support one another – something fantastic

≈ Comments Off on A Woman Worth Knowing – Maimah Karmo
Maimah Karmo 36 – Aldie, VA "I stopped asking why and began thinking how, and then asking what I could do to make a difference instead of looking to someone else to make a change."
When Maimah Karmo, a young single mom, was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer in 2006, she felt alone and was afraid of what the future held for her and her daughter. When faced with the facts that 11,000 young women get diagnosed with breast cancer annually and approximately 1,100 of those women die because of misdiagnosis, Maimah knew she had to make a difference.
Even though Maimah lacked the financial resources to start a foundation, her wish to help was more powerful than her fear. In 2006, Maimah founded the Tigerlily Foundation to end isolation and improve the quality of life for young adult cancer survivors by educating and inspiring them to become vigilant self advocates. For two years, Maimah used her own money to pay for start-up and administrative costs, juggling personal bills and those generated from the Tigerlily Foundation. Then, in May 2008, Maimah held her first fundraiser. Since then, the foundation has started bringing in money, enabling it to provide services such as buddy bags, meals and financial assistance to young women enduring cancer treatment.
Younger women have unique needs such as dealing with misdiagnosis and potential metastasis, financial and insurance challenges, fertility, neurological issues after treatment and adapting to life after breast cancer. Tigerlily Foundation is committed to providing these women with a bridge to the other side of cancer with hands-on, daily support – until there is a cure. Women receive services such as the Chemobuddy Program, which provides volunteers to drive patients to and from treatment or to support them with visits, calls, cards and more, and Funds for Families, which offers assistance to cancer patients in need of financial support. Fearless Females is another program offering make-up and support for women undergoing chemotherapy.
Tigerlily Foundation reaches out directly to young women in universities, women's groups, community events, and clubs to educate them about breast cancer. Through this grassroots approach, the Tigerlily Foundation has reached more than 7,000 young girls and women. That's why Maimah is a 2009 Woman of Worth. "" Hear Maimah discuss her work ORGANIZATION Tigerlily Foundation 11654 Plaza America Drive #725 Reston, 20190 Tel: 888-580-6253 email:firstname.lastname@example.com
Congratulations Maimah – you are a woman that inspires us all! Cynthia de Lorenzi

The Faculty Senate heard a report on graduate studies at its Thursday meeting, in a session notable primarily — at little more than 15 minutes in duration — for its unusual brevity.
Senate Chair Raymond Levitt, professor of civil and environmental engineering, opened the meeting by congratulating Margaret Hayden '13 and Rachel Kolb '12 M.A. '13 on their recent selection as Rhodes Scholars. Levitt also applauded Stanford football head coach David Shaw on his selection as 2012 Pac-12 Coach of the Year for the second year running and praised the Stanford football team's selection for the 2012 Rose Bowl as Pac-12 champions.
University President John Hennessy echoed Levitt's praise and drew attention to the football program's academic accomplishments, noting that Stanford was one of only two collegiate teams with a perfect graduation rate for the 2005-06 incoming freshman class.
While the overall trend of academic accomplishment remains strong, however, Hennessy acknowledged the presence of a disparity in graduation rates between African-American student-athletes and their student-athlete peers at Stanford. According to a University of Pennsylvania study, such disparities affect 96.1 percent of schools in the NCAA's six major conferences.
"We are aware of it," Hennessy said. "We've been working on exploring what the issues are and trying to address them."
The Senate then heard the annual report of the Committee on Graduate Studies (C-GS), which was delivered by C-GS chair Eamonn Callan.
Callan cited C-GS's work during what he called an "exceptionally busy year," primarily spent conducting standard reviews of certain graduate interdisciplinary programs and revising doctoral reading committee membership qualifications to include emeritus faculty.
"[That was] maybe the least controversial report this year," Levitt noted.
Limited faculty discussion focused on the University's current policy regarding the potential inclusion of outside experts — including those possibly lacking advanced degrees — on reading committees. According to Vice Provost of Graduate Education Patricia Gumport M.A. '82 M.A. '86 Ph.D. '87, such exceptions are currently considered on a case-by-case basis.
The Senate will hear reports on faculty gains and losses and on classroom scheduling when it reconvenes on Jan. 24.

Dementia Australia is calling on all political parties in New South Wales to commit to tackling the dementia challenge ahead of the upcoming State election on 23 March.
The cost of dementia to the NSW economy is already significant and growing rapidly. In 2018, dementia was estimated to have cost NSW more than $4.9 billion, with an expected increase to more than $11 billion by 2026.
Dementia Australia seeks commitment in the forthcoming election by all parties to address three integral components that will create an inclusive future where all people impacted by dementia receive the care and support they need and deserve. These include developing a clear pathway for diagnosis and support, defining Quality Standards in dementia care, and reducing discrimination.
These priorities embrace a range of transformative initiatives that span a range of sectors and can become a reality with a total commitment of just under $10 million over 5 years from the NSW Government.
This will include initiatives such as supporting the Dementia-Friendly Communities program, which has already achieved great results in increasing the understanding and public awareness of dementia across Australia in settings as diverse as commercial organisations, health services and local community groups.
Dementia Australia CEO Maree McCabe said Dementia Australia cannot achieve these goals in isolation.
"A generalised approach to health, disability and aged care reform is not enough. Dementia is not yet core business and requires specific attention to make it so.
"A wide range of evidence comprehensively demonstrates that the care provided to people living with dementia is worse than the care delivered to any other vulnerable group.
"Dementia is one of the biggest – and growing – health challenges facing NSW and Australia today.
"Our vision is to work with all political parties in NSW to elevate the issues relating to dementia and to improve the lives of people of all ages living with all forms of dementia, their families and carers."
For an expanded view and financial breakdown of the Strategic priorities, please refer to https://www.dementia.org.au/files/submissions/DA-Submission-NSW-Pre-Budget-submission-2019-20.pdf
Dementia Australia is the national peak body and charity for people, of all ages, living with all forms of dementia, their families and carers. It provides advocacy, support services, education and information. An estimated 436,000 people have dementia in Australia. This number is projected to reach almost 1.1 million by 2058. Dementia Australia is the new voice of Alzheimer's Australia. Dementia Australia's services are supported by the Australian Government.

SEWICKLEY -- Quaker Valley officials will meet with construction crews next week to discuss the progress of the middle school renovation project.
In a letter sent home to parents and families last month, the district said "unforeseen issues" that arose during construction have forced administrators to take a second look at the project timelines.
Administrators initially aimed to complete all work by the start of the 2012-13 school year, but the recent letter, signed by Superintendent Joseph Clapper and Quaker Valley School Board President Jack Norris, said sections of the project, including two additions that will house integrated arts classrooms and the new auditorium, may not be ready in September.
The renovation project was set back slightly last year after initial construction bids came back higher than the district expected. After work began in July, the building held more surprises and delayed work further, officials said.
During the 2011-12 year, middle school pupils in sixth grade have been attending Osborne Elementary School and seventh and eighth pupils are being bused to the Ambridge Area School District's old Anthony Wayne Elementary.
Depending on where plans stand next week, one of three contingency plans will be implemented when students return in the fall:
* If construction is complete, youngsters will begin the new year Sept. 5 at the middle school, with kindergarten being housed in Edgeworth and Osborne elementary schools.
* If construction is complete on all but two additions, those in grades 7 and 8 will start the year in the high school and grade 6 will remain at Osborne until work is complete.
* If construction is incomplete and occupancy permits are not obtained, pupils would return to the current locations until construction is complete.
In the second and third scenarios, kindergarten classes would be housed in Edgeworth for the entire year.
District spokeswoman Martha Smith said the letter was sent home as a "heads up" to parents and school officials will know more after they meet with contractors on Tuesday.
"We'll know more later, but we didn't want it to come as a surprise," Smith said.

Bayern coach Heynckes reaches record 500th Bundesliga win
Jupp Heynckes became the first person to win 500 matches in the Bundesliga as a player and a coach on Saturday, as Bayern Munich breezed past Augsburg.
Robert Lewandowski scored twice after Arturo Vidal broke the deadlock in the first half, ensuring the champions moved six points clear at the top of the table, with second-place RB Leipzig drawing 2-2 with Bayer Leverkusen.

Myth: Wearing glasses too much will make the eyes "dependent" on them.
Fact: Refractive errors (near-sightedness, far-sightedness, or astigmatism) change as kids get older. Many variables come into play, but most of this change is likely due to genetics and continues despite wearing glasses earlier or later or more or less. Wearing glasses does not make the eyes get worse.

While students are looking forward to a 17% increase in tuition, Hillary's speaking fees of $225,000 at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas and $300,000 at the University of California, Los Angeles, remain a huge and difficult hard lump for these scholars to swallow.
"No tuition dollars and no state funds were used," says a university spokesperson.
Students are not gullible, have heart burn and remain suspicious.
UCLA spokesman Jean-Paul Renaud said, "Clinton's fee was paid through a private endowment established for a lecture series by Meyer Luskin, an investor and president of Scope Industries, a food waste recycling company."
Time to pass the Alka-Seltzer.
Students are asking that the former Secretary of State return the money.
No way, says the former Secretary of State. She insists that the money is going into the Bill, Hillary And Chelsea Clinton Foundation, and not into their wallets, like say to pay for their gas and electric bill or pizza deliveries, (vegan of course) even though she claims they were, "dead broke" when they left the White House.
That vacating cleaning fee at the White House must have been a palooza. Remember, they even left their pet cat Boots at the White House. They would have really been, "dead broke" if they could not afford to pay for cat food at .50 cents a day.
And if there is indeed a Bill, Hillary And Chelsea Clinton Foundation, why isn't Chelsea's husband's name on the Foundation title? After all, they are married and he is the father of Chelsea's expectant child? Does he realize that maybe he's been left out of the family Foundation sort of like Boots?
Not to worry. Chelsea works for the Bill, Hillary And Chelsea Clinton Foundation, and must be paid a salary and therefore Hillary's speaking fees do indeed, (in a round about way) pay for the gas and electric bill, and pizza deliveries, (vegan of course) of the only full time working member in the Clinton family.
Meanwhile, students are looking forward to a 17% increase in tuition fees, more top ramen meals and additional Alka-Seltzer.
