With the end of the school year around the corner, I wanted to give my son's teachers a little gift to show them how much we appreciate them. I prefer to give the teachers a gift card with a little clever gift. This year my son and I made homemade microwave popcorn and attached a movie gift card in the thank you note. They appeared to be a hit when we passed them out last week.
I personally, was so excited to learn this trick for homemade microwave popcorn, because popcorn is my ultimate all time favorite food and snack. If I was stranded on a desert island and I could only pick one food, this is what I would choose in a heartbeat!
Brown paper sacks
Yellow scrapbook paper
Small clothespins
Additional color of scrapbook paper
1. I started by printing a popcorn image and movie night on the brown paper sacks. I used an ink jet printer. I placed a small piece of tape over the bottom of the bag to ensure it stayed flat while running through the printer. I removed the tape on the bottom of the sack promptly after I printed the bags.
2. Next I printed out the directions on yellow paper and cut them out in the shape of popcorn...
Place in microwave folded side up for 2-3 minutes or until there is 5 seconds between pops.
Eat plain or add toppings of choice.
3. Add 1/4 cup of popcorn in each brown paper sack. Fold down the top about 1" and tape shut. (It is ok to microwave the bag with the tape on) Next, I fold the bag in half.
3. I glued some small scraps of scrapbook paper on the small clothespins and clipped the popcorn kernel with directions on the bag.
4. We had to enjoy a delicious bag of popcorn too!
Here is what we made for our teachers last year...

Saw a sweet-looking old married couple in the grocery store. Both of them looked to be in their eighties.
Every time I see couple that old, I stop and stare, amazed that two people can stay together that long. I'm always curious as to their secret of marriage longevity, and wonder whether it would help in my marriage with Staci. In this particular case, I could hear them talking.
"Should we get milk?" asked the old man.
"We have milk," she said.
"More milk," he said.
"We don't live in the woods," she said, "We can come back and get milk whenever we want."
"Shut your mouth," he replied, "Shut your mouth."
I'll have to try that line on Staci.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Experiment not going well.

German Culture and Society 1600 – 1750
At the beginning of the 17th century, theology, law, medicine, astronomy, mathematics, and music were favored subjects of interest. An exemplary German astronomer of this period was Johann Kepler. It was Kepler who, following the writings of Giordano Bruno, coined the phrase The Music of the Spheres. The works of the Polish astronomer Coperinicus (1473-1543) on the motion of the planets, of the Italian physicist and astronomer Galileo (1564-1642) and his telescopic observations of the moon and of the planet Jupiter and the discovery of its moon, and of the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe were of great but controversial and risky influence. One could still get imprisoned, tortured or put to death for heresies if one was captured in the wrong city or by the different factions of the competing court and church views of orthodoxy. In 1600 the Italian astronomer Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake in the Campo Fiori in Rome and his ashes scattered in the Tiber River because his defense of Copernican heliocentric system of the solar system and philosophy made him question the dogma of the Catholic Church. Bruno was singled out for trial and execution by the Inquisition because he was a member of the clergy, a Dominican friar. Bruno was a fascinating figure, who wrote tracts that claimed special techniques and powers of memorization, but his personality was strong and probably quite arrogant and earned him more enemies than friends.
German intellectual life was integrated into the needs of the court, the princes and the competing interests of differences between the Catholic Church, which still held strong influence in Bavaria and Southern Germany, and the Lutheran areas where the local princes variously supported research into mathematics, medicine, science and military arts. In the aftermath of the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) Prussia was reorganized along the lines of this pre-war configurations of pincipalities and aristocratic privileges of the landed elite. The Prussian states were also pressured and aware of the continuing struggles for share and profit in the Baltic trade that led to episodic wars through the later 17th century, and waves of popular religious movements, of Anabaptists in Bavaria and the continued positioning for power and compromise between Lutheran based towns and principalities and the more Catholic region of Bavaria.
This was also a period in which German intellectual life benefited and shared in the accomplishments of mathematics, science and technology. Copernicus, the great Polish astronomer influenced the later work of Johann Kepler (1571-1630).
Kepler earned fame for his observations in 1604 of a bright star's appearance, or what is now known as Kepler's Super Nova (SN 1604). It was a unique event as it may be the only known instance of a Super Nova event that was visible to the naked eye without use of a telescope.
Figure 1 Kepler's Super Nova (SN 1604)
He left Germany for a period to work in Prague up until 1612 when he moved back to Linz in Austria, where he developed further the idea eliptical orbits of the planets in the solar system and the Third Law of Planetary Motion. He supported Tycho Brahe's theories and astronomy where he worked in Prague as the Imperial Mathematician for Emperor Rudolf II. The Cartesian system of thought allowed for a rational system that had immediate ramifications for measurements and military uses, including the eventual development of calculus (Hall 1961). Galileo's report on his telescopic observations, led to a series of pamphlets and a correspondence with the Emperor Rudolph II, who asked Kepler to eamine Galileo's Sidereal Messenger in a pamphlet, entitled A Discussion with the Sidereal Messenger (Gailei and Kepler 1610).
Figure 2 Galileo's drawing of his observations of mountains on the Lunar surface (circa 1610) Source: Project Gutenberg
In 1611 Kepler wrote his report of his review of Galileo's observations. He wrote them in Augsburg, Germany, the site of the important Augsburg Confession of 1530, and the Peace of Augsburg in 1555, which guaranteed the rights of minority religious, whether Protestant or Catholic of free practice of religion and freedom from persecution. The Augsburg Confession is one of the essential documents of Lutheran faith for it details and compares Lutheran practice and belief against that of Catholic orthodoxy.
Kepler confirms the value of Galileo's telescopic observations and methods for it confirms the physical nature of the moon, its distance, and the magnitude of observable stars that are now visible in a quantity of ten to twenty times what had been estimated in the older Ptolemaic system. Kepler also elaborates on the importance of Galileo's observations of moons that circulate Jupiter and Saturn. But Kepler also goes a step further and diagrams out the beginnings of proofs of why the sun and the earth must be placed as the center of the known solar system. He leaves us with this conclusion of the effect of Galileo's method of telescopic observation:
You see then, studious reader, how the subtle mind of Galileo, in my opinion the first philosopher of the day, uses this telescope of ours like a sort of ladder, scales the furthest and loftiest walls of the visible world, surveys all things with his own eyes, and, from the position he has gained, darts the glances of his most acute intellect upon these petty abodes of ours—the planetary spheres I mean,—and compares with keenest reasoning the distant with the near, the lofty with the deep.
Figure 3 Augsburg in 1550
By 1612 conditions in Prague were changing and he moved his family to Linz in Germany. These were difficult times for a self-confessed Calvinist Protestant and Kepler's own mother was accused of witchcraft imprisoned for 14 months at the outbreak of the Thirty Years War. The Thirty Years War brought the breakup of the Holy Roman Empire and its impact on Prussia and Central Europe was profound. For some the Treaty of Westphalia of 1648 marked a transition to a period of relative peace that lasted more or less until the Napoleonic Wars of 1806 (Carsten 1961). Others cite to a much more contentious period in which the Treaty of Westphalia was a failure as numerous conflicts ensued. An anthology of historical writing on this period illustrates a number of the prevalent methodological and theoretical approaches (Neugebauer, Wolfgang; Büsch, Otto 2017).
Impact of the Thirty Years War (1618-1648)
Contemporary accounts of the crisis and aftermath of the Thirty Years War are found in the divergent approaches of Hans Jacob Christoph von Grimmelshausen's satirical novel, Simplicissimus and of a political philosophy tract by Pufendorf. Johann Joachim Becher, a scientist whose phlogiston theory of combustion would be discredited, but who wrote A Political Discourse on the real Causes of the Rise and Decline of Towns,Countries and States, (1668) that analyzed the comparative advantage of the United Provinces of Netherlands in securing a position in the Baltic and North Atlantic trade, a position that was superior to the Prussian states. Samuel Von Pufendorf' of Leiden was a conservative dissident who criticized the Holy Roman Empire but also the taxing powers of the aristocratic state. His writings included An Introduction to the History of the Principal Kingdoms and States of Europe (1695). By comparison Germany in the 1660s suffered from deflation in prices and depopulation forced by desperate postwar conditions. A shortage of peasants and farmworkers also impoverished some of the nobility who relied on their produce and extraction of profit from their production (Carsten 1961, 435). During the 1660s price deflation created a conflict between the nobility and the religious foundations and weakened land prices enabled a slightly stronger position for the better-off Bavarian peasants who increased their landholdings (Carsten 1961, 436). While in Saxony the peasants appear to have been better off, in Brandenburg the demesnes or holdings of the nobility increased. However, in Bohemia and Moravia, where the first conflicts of the Thirty Years War broke out the nobility remained in power and held oppressive power although some historians conclude the position of the peasantry improved from the general problem of depopulation (Carsten 1961, 437).
Academies of Art and Science: Leibniz, Wolf and Euler
In 1700 the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences (Königlich-Preußische Akademie der Wissenschaften) was established in Berlin, Germany, four years after the Academy of Arts (Akademie der Künste). The importance of these academies may be seen in their corollary role in supporting and linking the universities with the upper class emphasis on the mixture of culture and political sponsorship or patronage. Entry and membership into the academies was exclusive and required political connections with the ruling aristocrats. In the second half of the 18th century the academies took on practical roles and members were used in conducting surveys of mines, canals and other projects (Johns 2012).
Gottfried Leibniz, the co-inventer of modern calculus, represents the late 17th century method of mathematics as an exclusive field of study in relative isolation, then his later career shows the role and rise in importance of the academy, where he had been instrumental in the establishment of the Royal Brandenburg Society of Sciences in Berlin in 1701 as well as the Petersburg Imperial Academy of Sciences, The mathematician Leonard Euler (1707-1783) who is credited with the development of calculus and its notation system, including the use of the Greek letter Ʃ Sigma for summations, shows the Enlightenment's mid-to-late 18th century integration of academies, and court patronage and sponsorship that was more or less independent of the modern university. As a young man of 20, Euler visited St. Petersburg, Russia and the Petersburg Imperial Academy of Sciences founded by Czar Peter I (Peter the Great) with the advice of the German mathematician Christian Wolf, who also met and advised the young Euler (Calinger 2015, 42). For Christian Wolf it was preferred to base oneself within the University of Halle where he was better protected from controversy and criticism from conservative religious orthodoxy, and the Royal Brandenburg Society of Sciences appears to have been less secure and appealing. In 1723 he incurred the wrath of the authorities and was forced into exile by Frederick William I who threatened him with hanging. Wolf immediately fled to the University of Marburg where he was given safety (Calinger 2015, 43). Euler however remained as a scholar at the academy in St. Petersburg until 1741 when left during political turmoil for the Academy in Berlin. In old age he returned to St. Petersburg where he worked until his death.

By Scott Malone
Like many a first-time parrot keeper, Marc Johnson had little idea what was in store when he got a bird to keep him company while he worked in his pottery studio.
Back in 1989, the young artist scraped together $600 and bought a blue-and-yellow macaw. The bright plumage soon attracted the attention of passersby, who started bringing other birds for Johnson to take in.
A quarter of a century later, Johnson has given up pottery and runs Foster Parrots, one of the largest wild-bird rescue facilities in the United States. This summer he completed renovations, transforming a chicken farm into a 20,000-square-foot (1,858-square-meter) sanctuary.
Filled with nearly 500 screaming, squawking cockatoos, macaws, parrots and a variety of smaller birds such as parakeets, cockatiels and love birds, Foster Parrots is thriving. It fields 900 to 1,000 calls a year from bird owners no longer able or willing to keep their pets. A longevity factor comes into play.
"There's a certain unwanted factor built into parrots. They are going to live to be 50-, 60-, 70-years-old," Johnson said in an interview at his facility in Hope Valley, Rhode Island, 30 miles southwest of Providence. "Parrots are not a domesticated animal, they are a wild animal."
Parrots are known for their bright plumage and intelligence, but they can also be demanding. Without company and stimulation at home, the birds can take to biting people, destroying furniture or pulling out their own feathers.
After dogs and cats, birds are the third-most-popular pet in the United States, but statistics on how many are kept vary widely. A 2012 survey by the American Veterinary Medical Association put the figure at 8.3 million birds of all kinds - smaller songbirds and larger exotics - while a 2013 study by the American Pet Products Association, a trade group, put the figure at 20.6 million.
Johnson's facility, with six full time staffers and 30 volunteers, is one of a handful of large-scale bird rescue centers in the United States. Others include The Oasis Sanctuary outside Tucson, Arizona, and Phoenix Landing in Asheville, North Carolina. More....

Today is World Wetlands Day and so we would like to tell you a little about these amazing ecosystems!
Today is World Wetlands Day and so we would like to tell you a little about these amazing ecosystems!
A wetland is a place where the land is covered by water, either salt, fresh or somewhere in between. Marshes and ponds, the edge of a lake or ocean, the delta at the mouth of a river, low-lying areas that frequently flood—all of these are wetlands.
Reduce the impacts from storm damage and flooding
Maintain good water quality in rivers
Recharge groundwater
Store carbon
Help stabilise climatic conditions and control pests
Act as important sites for biodiversity
What threats do wetlands face?
Commercial and agricultural development
Alien invasive species
Climate change
Wetlands are extremely important ecosystems, however in South Africa (home to EDGE of AFRICA HQ!) wetlands are the most threatened ecosystems in the country; and since 1900 half of the World's wetlands have disappeared.
EDGE of AFRICA is dedicated to protecting and restoring the natural world and as one of our many ongoing conservation projects we adopted a wetland that runs adjacent to Stepping Stones school in Knysna. With the support and assistance of staff at the school, our volunteers have spent many long hard hours removing litter and alien invasive plants from the area.
The improvement in the health of the wetland is clearly visible (see photos below); however there is a constant battle with litter in this area and that is why EDUCATION is key if this wetland is to survive in the long term. We understand that education goes hand in hand with conservation; and that is why we run regular conservation workshops with local children to inspire our future generations to protect the beautiful world in which they live!
Happy World Wetlands Day everybody!!

You've seen ads for "Teeth in One Day" that promise immediate implant placement at the same time you have the problem tooth removed. But this presumes the gums and underlying bone are healthy and able to support and protect the implant. If that's not the case, it may be ill-advised to place an implant on the same day.
Even with immediate placement, there will be a small degree of bone and gum opening or space around the implant after it's placed into the socket. This can often be remedied by placing a bone graft and sometimes a gum graft when we install the implant. It's also possible for natural healing to gradually fill in the space, but we'll need to monitor the site carefully for several weeks.
On the other hand, if we detect significant bone loss (or strongly suspect it will occur), immediate placement may not be an option — there's not enough bone or it's too weak to support an implant. In this case, it's necessary to wait on placement and focus on improving the bone health and quantity, beginning when we remove the old tooth and place a bone graft.
After completing the extraction, we typically place a bone graft in the empty socket. The graft will become a "scaffold" for new bone cells to grow upon. We may then allow about two to four months for new bone to partially replenish the area and then place the implant. The bone will continue to regenerate as it grows and attaches to the titanium implant to create a solid attachment.
If the site, however, still appears fragile even after partial bone growth, we may opt to wait another two to four months before attempting placement. From a long-term perspective, this is the best scenario for ensuring a durable foundation for the implant. It also allows for a socket severely compromised by disease to heal more thoroughly.
To determine which of these placement scenarios is best for you, we'll first need to conduct a thorough dental examination. From there we'll be in a better position to discuss the right implant timeline for your situation. Our main goal is to ensure we can securely place your implant in just the right position to achieve the most successful and attractive result.
If you would like more information on dental implants, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Implant Timelines for Replacing Missing Teeth."
How many actresses have portrayed a neuroscientist on a wildly successful TV comedy while actually holding an advanced degree in neuroscience? As far as we know, exactly one: Mayim Bialik, who plays the lovably geeky Amy Farrah Fowler on CBS' The Big Bang Theory… and earned her PhD from UCLA.
Acknowledging her nerdy side, Bialik recently told Dear Doctor magazine, "I'm different, and I can't not be different." Yet when it comes to her family's oral health, she wants the same things we all want: good checkups and great-looking smiles. "We're big on teeth and oral care," she said. "Flossing is really a pleasure in our house."
How does she get her two young sons to do it?
Bialik uses convenient pre-loaded floss holders that come complete with floss and a handle. "I just keep them in a little glass right next to the toothbrushes so they're open, no one has to reach, they're just right there," she said. "It's really become such a routine, I don't even have to ask them anymore."
As many parents have discovered, establishing healthy routines is one of the best things you can do to maintain your family's oral health. Here are some other oral hygiene tips you can try at home:
Brush to the music — Plenty of pop songs are about two minutes long… and that's the length of time you should brush your teeth. If brushing in silence gets boring, add a soundtrack. When the music's over — you're done!
Flossing can be fun — If standard dental floss doesn't appeal, there are many different styles of floss holders, from functional ones to cartoon characters… even some with a martial-arts theme! Find the one that your kids like best, and encourage them to use it.
The eyes don't lie — To show your kids how well (or not) they are cleaning their teeth, try using an over-the-counter disclosing solution. This harmless product will temporarily stain any plaque or debris that got left behind after brushing, so they can immediately see where they missed, and how to improve their hygiene technique — which will lead to better health.
Have regular dental exams & cleanings — When kids see you're enthusiastic about going to the dental office, it helps them feel the same way… and afterward, you can point out how great it feels to have a clean, sparkling smile.
For more information about oral hygiene, please contact our office or schedule a consultation. You can read the interview with Mayim Bialik in the latest issue of Dear Doctor magazine.

Whether for your living room, bedroom or kitchen, curtains can offer just as much to the design of a room as the furniture.
We can write a thesis about curtains: from contemporary voyeurism to opposite necessity of privacy, from the idea of filter between exterior/interior to Antonioni's movies. Curtains are decorative additions to the room and they can transform a space, adding personality and character. These ceiling-to-floor draperies make the space seem taller and more grand,
But you have to forget the old grandma's curtains. You can replace them with something more particular and contemporary. For example, laser cut draperies. We really love them. They add texture to your window, providing light control and privacy at the same time.
Go check this brand: Elitis. Here you can find delicate and ephemeral fabrics for your home. These fabrics are simply gorgeous. It is a good choice to add a polished and characteristic touch to an interior. You can also use them as room dividers or wall coverings.

Today we have quoted extensively from, and published in full on our website, a secret crime intelligence report detailing exceptionally serious allegations about the abuse of covert police funds for personal and political gain.
At the centre of the scandal is Richard Mdluli, who returned to his job on Wednesday following the direct intervention of President Jacob Zuma and Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa, who overrode recommendations by the inspector general of intelligence, Faith Radebe, and senior intelligence officer Mark Hankel. Mdluli faces allegations of fraud, theft, nepotism and murder. It is bad enough that investigations into these have been stymied. Worse, Mdluli has been put back to work in one of the most sensitive posts in the entire security system. The only plausible explanation, one given by senior police and intelligence figures, is that Zuma regards Mdluli as an indispensable ally in the war for control of the secret state and its surveillance capacity.
We are not the first to air details of these allegations. The Sunday Independent was interdicted from disclosing some of the abuses on the grounds that the information was classified, and City Press and Noseweek magazine have detailed other claims against Mdluli. What we reveal is how Zuma and Mthethwa personally provided top cover for Mdluli, and how appalling that looks in the face of the report and recommendations of the top intelligence oversight official.
This reporting is a clear example of the kind of disclosure that will be illegal if the Protection of State Information Bill comes into force in its current form. The report is also a clear example of the kind of material that would be protected by a public interest defence clause in the Bill.
That a man who can operate with near unfettered power under a veil of secrecy should face such serious allegations, and that the president is prepared to defend and celebrate him brazenly, is the clearest case you are likely to find for the legitimate publication of state secrets.

Butternut Squash & Granny Smith Apple Bisque
One of my favorite things about fall is the rich feast of winter vegetables that become available at local farmers markets. Top on the list are the many varieties of winter squash. They add substance and punch to just about any meal in hearty soups, oven roasted with other winter vegetables, fine diced for use in winter hash recipes, and shredded for squash fritters.
Embracing the Next Generation
As you may know this past month has been a time of very big transition for me. Stepping away from 15 years as the chef/owner of Chair 6 Restaurant to focus exclusively on private chef and special event catering was a huge leap of faith.

Back in February I attended the Future of Web Apps (FOWA) in Miami and BarCampMiami held in the same venue. My boyfriend is a developer so he wanted to attend this conference. I decided to go with him since it was semi-close to home and I wanted to learn more about the tech industry.
Essentially, my experience at FOWA was doing participant observation of the developer side of the tech industry. A large part of the speakers and materials covered was over my head since I have a limited knowledge but I learned a lot. I did walk away learning like I knew a bit more about their processes but more importantly I feel like I gained insight into their world. The majority of the talks focused on the development process and excluded user-centered research, or mentions of users in general. To be fair, the audience was likely interested in the former more than the later. I commented to someone that FOWA felt very developer-centric and lacked a focus on users. Their response was something to the effect of "users aren't part of the process." To be sure, they *should* be.
BarCampMiami was useful in that the presenters only focused on the basics of what they were discussing, i.e. OpenID, OAuth, etc. I actually learned about the subjects they presented rather than gained insight into the tech industry.
Last week I attended SXSW Interactive in Austin, TX and BarCampAustin. My experience at BarCampAustin was similar to that of Miami and I learned a lot (and had fun, BarCampAustin rocked!). SXSW was a different experience from FOWA for me though. In addition to gaining insight into and about the development process of web apps, software, etc. I became inspired by listening to the developers talk about their research.
This process of listening to people talk about their experiences to gain insights in/for research is nothing new if you're familiar with anthropology. In listening to the developers, etc. discuss their research I discovered/thought of many ways that anthropological research could help their processes and goals. This is good knowledge to have when you're looking for internships (me 😉 or if you want to do consulting work.
All and all, I really enjoyed FOWA, SXSWi, and both BarCamps. Given that most practicing/applied anthropologists will have a professional counterpart (for tech design research it's designers/developers, for medical anthropology maybe it's doctors, for educational anthropologists it's teachers, etc.) and I believe that attending your counterparts' conferences, etc. will be very valuable for you to be able to communicate with that communicate.

Mid-sized Mindtree acquired Bluefin for £42.3 million in July 2015. "We had a few operational challenges in terms of cross-selling that did not pan out as originally anticipated," Ravanan said. "Integrating with a British company has a culture aspect to it. Also, the other is repositioning (from being an analytics and SAP shop).
Ravanan said its underlying value continues to be "extremely high" because of the "very senior-level connects in SAP". The repositioning entails retraining talent in Bluefin to address emerging opportunities in enterprise resource planning (ERP) transformation to the latest business suit S/4HANA.
In the June quarter, Mindtree cut its growth guidance for the year to lower single digits and recorded a lowerthan-expected revenue growth, primarily due to poor performance of Bluefin. It reported standalone growth at 3.1% quarter-over-quarter compared with consolidated revenue growth of 2.3%, which its management attributed to revenue decline in Bluefin and Magnet 360, its two buyouts. In its first-quarter analyst call, Mindtree's management said revenue decline in Bluefin was due to increased costs in one of the projects. "The project itself should turn around by this quarter, or maximum by next, and whatever reduction of revenue we saw, we should get that back fairly quickly," Ravanan said.
The software exporter has made four acquisitions in the past three years. "It (Bluefin) is still a work-in-progress and we are still learning… how to manage the acquisition, and to get it back to growth mode," he said.
Another acquisition, Magnet 360, a salesforce consulting firm which faced problems in deal closures in the previous quarter, has enlivened. "Magnet is in very good shape and culturally very well aligned with Mindtree. They are getting a lot of traction with our customers as well as Mindtree services to their customers," Ravanan said. According to Ravanan, the outlook on organic business continues to be good. "Our organic business is going exceedingly well across verticals," he said, adding, "this year, some of our largest opportunities are in travel and hospitality, and will hopefully close (deals) during the course of this quarter before we announce the results."
For 2016-17, Mindtree clocked revenues of $780 million, of which close to 40% came from new-age digital offerings. Ravanan said industries like travel and retail are a "bit ahead" in the adoption of digital technologies as compared with banking and financial services, which are still reeling under huge fines, regulatory burden and low-interest rates in the US.
"Customers are hesitating to make any big bets on investments right now," Ravanan said, adding there is a conservative mindset across a majority of customers in Europe and the US because of the political environment. Geographically, close to 70% of the firm's revenue comes from the US and 20% from Europe.

Faux Native-American Elizabeth Warren is starting to sound a bit like a presidential candidate.
In a speech at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate on the 27th, she covered the gamut of issues, from attacking Republican economics back to Reagan to blaming Obama's economic policies on oppression caused by Republicans. That's rich given the fact that Obama has been in charge for seven years.
She didn't just cover economics.
Warren conflated the Civil Rights Movement – JFK, and MLK Jr. – with the violent, racialists in the Soros-funded Black Lives Matter movement.
She claimed this phony Civil Rights movement of community organizers and trouble makers is the same as the movement of the 1960s and for much the same reasons.
Referring to the Civil Rights laws of the 1960s, she said three times, raising her petite, whiney voice, "Black lives matter. Black citizens matter. Black families matter."
She is living in a different America than most of us as she paints a picture of an America with black innocents being gunned down and strangled by cops at random and for no reason, vigilantes roaming the streets, and journalists being thrown in jail like some Third World country. Of course she brought up the monster racist in Charleston but not the many cops gunned down by racists.
While stating that police are mostly there to protect and she honors them, the lives of African-Americans have been treated with callous indifference. She named Sandra Bland. Freddie Gray. Michael Brown. There is another side she failed to mention.
Sandra Bland killed herself. Freddie Gray had a history of hurting himself to collect on lawsuits though we don't know that is what happened the day he died. He was a drug dealer. Michael Brown was a petty thug who attacked a police officer.
Fifty years later, violence against African Americans has not disappeared. Consider law enforcement. The vast majority of police officers sign up so they can protect their communities. They are part of an honorable profession that takes risks every day to keep us safe. We know that. But we also know – and say – the names of those whose lives have been treated with callous indifference. Sandra Bland. Freddie Gray. Michael Brown. We've seen sickening videos of unarmed, black Americans cut down by bullets, choked to death while gasping for air – their lives ended by those who are sworn to protect them. Peaceful, unarmed protestors have been beaten. Journalists have been jailed. And, in some cities, white vigilantes with weapons freely walk the streets. And it's not just about law enforcement either. Just look to the terrorism this summer at Emanuel AME Church. We must be honest: Fifty years after John Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke out, violence against African Americans has not disappeared.
She called the poverty and housing problems of the African-American community the result of oppression.
She conjured up imaginary voting rights oppression. This shouldn't be surprising from someone who went to college as a fake Native-American.
And what about voting rights? Two years ago, five conservative justices on the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, opening the floodgates ever wider for measures designed to suppress minority voting. Today, the specific tools of oppression have changed-voter ID laws, racial gerrymandering, and mass disfranchisement through a criminal justice system that disproportionately incarcerates black citizens. The tools have changed, but black voters are still deliberately cut out of the political process.
Senator Warren attacked trickle-down economics as just a means of helping the rich despite the fact that we had ten very prosperous years under the Reagan economy.
Ironically, she complained about static wage growth when it is her party that has run the government for seven years.
There was more. She sounded like she was running for president of the United States as the more acceptable version of radical Socialist Bernie Sanders.

significant shirts.
Over the years there have been many significant shirts in my life. Some of these shirts go back to high school, so please buckle up for this nostalgic journey down memory lane. It might be worth your while, but probably only if you're super bored or if you, too, have worn one of these shirts in your life.
The first shirt, or shirts, are my SV Pom Pon t-shirts & hoodies. I remember practicing for try outs before my freshman year of high school. The two main reasons I wanted to make the squad my freshman year was because one of my friends was going to be a senior so this was the only chance of being in the marching band together, and the other reason was that I wanted the shirts with my name on the back. I didn't care about the sequined uniform and white boots. I wanted the t-shirt with my name on the back.
The Frog shirt is a JMU icon. For those of you who aren't lucky enough to have gone to JMU, a Frog is a First Year Orientation Guide. Those yellow shirts are remembered each year by incoming students for the way they swoop in and help carry in all the mini fridges and the Frog dance.
The next shirt is the older sibling to the Frog shirt, the Orientation Peer Adviser polo. Please see the above photo of the striped polo. That was the polo used for years previous to the year I was an OPA. They switched to a new polo and there had to be a team meeting about it. People were not pleased with this change and there might have been tears involved, I can't remember. We eventually got over the switch and learned to love our new polos.
My Rocktown Rollers jersey is what inspired this little trip down memory lane and all the significant shirts that have come before it. Again with the name on the back like the SV Pom Pon t-shirt. I had to wait almost a year and a half after joining the Rocktown Rollers to put that jersey on and officially go by Clarissa Pains It All.
When I got to wear my jersey and play in my first bout with the team in May I felt like the shirt is what made me an official part of the team. Then I thought back to a conversation I had with my OPA, the dude in the striped polo photo.
Me: I feel like I have this power to be a super hero when I put this shirt on.
OPA: You don't need to be wearing the shirt to have those powers. You already had them before you put the shirt on.
All those years I thought I was working towards getting the shirt so I could have the power behind it. In reality the shirt doesn't hold the power, I already do.

Meg Whitman Concedes in California Race
By John Emshwiller
California Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, who spent over $140 million of her vast personal fortune, conceded the race to her Democratic challenger, Jerry Brown.
At 11:35 p.m., Ms. Whitman, the former chief executive of eBay Inc., told a crowded ballroom of supporters at a Los Angeles-area hotel that she had called "Gov.-elect Brown" to congratulate him.
The losing candidate, whose personal fortune is estimated to exceed $1 billion, was composed and upbeat in making her concession speech. "We've come up a little short," she said, "But I could not be prouder of the race we ran." It is, she added, "time for Californians to unite behind the common cause of turning around the state we love." Ms. Whitman said she hoped "that a new era of bipartisan problem-solving can start tonight."
The crowd which stayed around for hours–though numerous news outlets had called the race for Mr. Brown, a former California governor and currently the state's attorney general, only minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m., PDT. Those in attendance cheered loudly when large television screens flashed reports of Republican victories around the country and booed lustily when Democratic political leaders appeared on the screens. They gave a loud and sustained ovation when Ms. Whitman appeared before them.

The Shaping of Deduction in Greek Mathematics: A Study in Cognitive History
Cambridge University Press, 18 de set. de 2003 - 352 pßginas
The aim of this book is to explain the shape of Greek mathematical thinking. It can be read on three levels: as a description of the practices of Greek mathematics; as a theory of the emergence of the deductive method; and as a case-study for a general view on the history of science. The starting point for the enquiry is geometry and the lettered diagram. Reviel Netz exploits the mathematicians' practices in the construction and lettering of their diagrams, and the continuing interaction between text and diagram in their proofs, to illuminate the underlying cognitive processes. A close examination of the mathematical use of language follows, especially mathematicians' use of repeated formulae. Two crucial chapters set out to show how mathematical proofs are structured and explain why Greek mathematical practice manages to be so satisfactory. A final chapter looks into the broader historical setting of Greek mathematical practice.

New E.U. limits on food speculation.
As part of the reforms to the E.U.'s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive [much more comprehensible in German: financial markets guideline, Finanzmarktrichtlinie], negotiators from the E.U. Commission, Member States and Parliament agreed to create new upper limits capping possible food speculation, in an attempt to calm the markets and prevent investment-driven hunger around the world. Now that this agreement has been reached, it will take about 2.5 years for the Member States to implement the new caps in their national laws.
The British government under Prime Minister David Cameron (Tory party) held out for a long time against putting limits on commodities markets, even for foodstuffs. Proponents for the limits included some banks that voluntarily announced they would stop trading in food commodities. ARD tagesschau.de reported 100,000 people also signed a petition to the E.U. last year asking for this reform.

Critic Reviews for Big Bad Love
All Critics (58) | Top Critics (20) | Fresh (24) | Rotten (34)
Though you couldn't call Love a complete success, it's packed with talent and intelligence, wayward poetry and bluesy longing.
A movie that can't get sufficient distance from Leroy's delusions to escape their maudlin influence.
The movie is obviously a labour of love so Howard appears to have had free rein to be as pretentious as he wanted.
While Howard's appreciation of Brown and his writing is clearly well-meaning and sincere, the movie would be impossible to sit through were it not for the supporting cast.
The film often achieves a mesmerizing poetry.
Audience Reviews for Big Bad Love
[font=Century Gothic]In "Big Bad Love," Leon Barlow(Arliss Howard, who also directed and co-wrote) is an aspiring writer who tapes his rejection letters to his bathroom wall. His wealthy friend, Monroe(Paul Le Mat), gets him the occasional job housepainting, where they hang out together, followed by much drinking of beer. Due to his economic situation, Leon is often unable to come up with the child support for the two children he walked out on.[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]"Big Bad Love" is a rambling stream of consciousness movie that stays one step ahead of total incomprehension. It is a tricky approach to take with a movie because the reality and the fantasy can be hard to tell apart at times but here it works due to Howard's keen visual eye which does a very good job of showing Leon's mental state.(And it is especially clear that Leon has not had sex in a good long while.) But a little of that goes a long way, and after a while, it does get tedious before a huge event shakes up the movie, shoving it into an entirely new direction. In the end, the movie might have worked had it been about 20-30 minutes shorter.[/font]

Does anyone know who did this?
by rodriguezfineartprintsca
I am posting this terrible low-rez image of a standing screen because I know this is a great painting. Look at the colors and the design, can't you just see that it would blow your socks off if you could actually see it in detail? I have looked on the internet for a higher resolution version of it with no luck. Does anyone know who did it, or have any information that could help me track it down?

Activity based costing
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
There are 3 problems.
I have attached 2 excel sheet which go with these problems and a txt file
which is the problems as shown below.
Problem 1. Borealis manufacturing has just completed a major change in its quality control (QC) process. Previously, products had been reviewed by QC inspectors at the end of each major process, and the company's 10 QC inspectors were charged as direct labor to the operation or job.
In an effort to improve efficiency and quality, a computerized video QC system was purchsed for $250,000. The system consists of a minicompuer, 15 video cameras, other peripheral hardware, and software. The new system uses cameras stationed by QC engineers at key points in the production process. Each time an operation changes or there is a new operation, the cameras are moved, and a new master picture is loaded into the computer compares them to the picture of a "good" unit. Any differences are sent ot a QC engineer, who removes the bad units and discusses the flaws with the production supervisors. The new system has replaced the 10 QC inspectors with two QC engineers.
The operating costs of the new QC system, including the salaries of the QC engineers, have been included
as factory overhead in calculating the company's plantwide manufacturing-overhead rate, which is based on direct-labor
dollars. The company's president is confused. His vice president of production has told him how efficeint the new system
is. yet there is a large increase in the overhead rate. The computtion of the rate before and after automation is as follows:

Budgeted manufacturing overhead $1,900,000 $2,100,000

Problem 2. World Gourmet Coffee Company (WGCC) is a distributor and processor of different blends of coffee.
The company buys coffee beans from around the world and roasts, blends, and packages them for resale. WGCC currently has 15 different coffees that it offers to gourmet shops in one-pound bags. The major cost is raw materials; however, there is a substantial amount of manufacturing overhead in the predominatly automated roasting and packing process. The company uses relatively little direct labor.
Some of the coffees are very popular and sell in large volumes, while a few of the newer blends have very low volumes. WGCC prices its coffee at full product cost, including allocated overhead, plus a markup of 30 percent. If the prices for certain coffees are significantly higher than market, adjustments are made. The company completes primarily on the qualit of its products, but customers are price-conscious as well.
Data for the 20x1 budget includ manufacturing overhead of $3,000,000, which has been allocated on the basis of each produt's direct-labor cost. The budgeted direct-labor cost for 20x1 totals $600,000. Based on the sales budget and raw-material budget, purchases and use of raw materials(mostly coffee beans) will total $6,000,000.
The expected prime costs for one-pound bags of two of the company's products are as follows:
Kona Malaysian
Direct Material $3.20 $4.20
Direct labor .30 .30
WGCC's controller believes the traditonal product-costing system may be providing misleading cost information.
She has developed an analysis of the 20x1 budgeted manufacturing-overhead cost shown in the following chart.
Activity Cost Driver Budgeted Activity Budgeted Cost
Purchasing Purchase orders 1,158 $579,000
Material handling Setups 1,800 720,000

a. The use of direct labor as a basis for applying overhead to products?
b. The use of the existing product-costing system as the basis for pricing?
Problem 3. Marconi Manufacturing produces two items in its Trumbull Plant: Tuff Stuff an Ruff Stuff. Since inception,
Marconi has used only one manufacturing-overhead cost pool to accumulate costs. Overhead
has been allocated to products based on direct-abor hours. Until recently, Marconi was the sole
producer of Ruff Suff and was able to dictate the selling price. However, last year marvella Proucts began marketing a comparable
product at a price below the cost assigned by Marconi. Market share has declined rapidly, and Marconi must now
decide whether to meet the competitive price or to disontinue the product line. Recogniing that discountinuing the
product line wold place an additonal burden on its remaining product, Tuff Stuff, management is using
activity-based costing to determine if it would show a different cost structure for the two products.
The two major indirect costs for manufacturing the products are power usage and setup costs.
Most of the power is used in fabricating, while most of the setup costs are requiredin assembly. The setup
costs are predominately related to Tuff Stuff product line.
A decision was made to separate the Manufacturing Department costs into two activity cost pools as
Fabricating: machines hours will be the cost driver.
Assembly: number of setups will be the cost driver.
The controlller has gathered the following information.

1. Assigning overhead based on direct-labor hours, calculate the following:
a. Total budgeted cost of the Manufacturing Department.
b. Unit cost of Tuff Stuff and Ruff Stuff.
2. After separation of overhead into activity cost pools, compute the total budgeted cost of each department:
fabricating and assembly.
3. Using activity-based costing, calculate the unit costs for each product. ( In computing the pool
rates for th efabricating and assembly activity cost pools, round to the nearest cent. Then, in computing
unit product cost, round to the nearest cent).

Nine Into Eleven: Accounting for Common Interest Communities in Bankruptcy
C. Scott Pryor | 33 Emory Bankr. Dev. J. 455 (2017)
Like both public and private entities, common interest communities such as homeowner's associations can experience the problem of financial distress. The ultimate solution to financial distress is relief under the Bankruptcy Code. Private entities are eligible for relief under chapter 11, but municipalities are eligible for relief under chapter 9. Chapter 9 affords municipalities significant protections compared to private entities under chapter 11. Nonetheless, even though common interest communities also provide public goods, they are eligible for relief only under chapter 11 and thus lack the protections afforded by chapter 9. Chapter 11 of the Code should be amended in two ways to afford common interest communities some of the benefits of chapter 9. Without these amendments, common interest communities in financial distress and their members will be less likely to reorganize, and the cost of providing public goods will revert to the local community and its taxpayers.Read More »
Coming to a Retailer Near You: Consumer Privacy Protection in Retail Bankruptcies
Kayla Siam | 33 Emory Bankr. Dev. J. 487 (2017)
Consumers' personally identifiable information is an extremely valuable asset for retailers. The sale of consumer information causes problems for consumers because many bankruptcy retailers transfer personally identifiable information to third parties without notifying consumers beforehand and obtaining their consent. Perhaps most troubling, however, is that retailers facing financial turmoil sometimes sell personally identifiable information in direct violation of their own privacy policies, which specifically promise the safeguarding of consumer information. Numerous regulatory bodies have objected to such transfers, but to no avail. This Comment addresses the shortcomings of current privacy regulations both inside and outside of bankruptcy. Additionally, this Comment recommends the implementation of minimum federal privacy standards and suggests that the Bankruptcy Code include stronger consumer privacy guidelines. These approaches would allow consumers to have a say in who receives their personally identifiable information while simultaneously preserving the status quo.Read More »
Finding a "Cure": How Much Interest Is Enough for a Chapter 11 Cure?
Jacob Dean | 33 Emory Bankr. Dev. J. 523 (2017)
Default-rate interest—interest triggered by breach of a contractual obligation—implicates both a determination of claim's status and the claim's ultimate confirmation. Moreover, default-rate interest can not only amount to millions of dollars rapidly, but also jeopardize a chapter 11 plan's chances at confirmation. In August 2015, a panel of judges on the Eleventh Circuit ruled on the matter, creating a circuit split for a brief time until a Ninth Circuit panel addressed the question in 2016. Last year, the Ninth Circuit eliminated the split, and all circuits now agree the plain language of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1994, an amendment Congress added in 1994 to overrule a Supreme Court case, allows for collection of default interest. The circuits previously disagreed, however, whether Congress intended a requirement for "cure" to be payment of interest at the default rate. This Comment explains why both panels are incorrect.Read More »
Mixing Business With Pleasure: Evaluating the Blurred Line Between the Ownership of Business and Personal Social Media Accounts Under § 541(a)(1)
Alexandra L. Jamel | 33 Emory Bankr. Dev. J. 561 (2017)
Social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter are household names today. Despite the current popularity of social media, however, few courts have addressed the ownership rights in social media accounts. Fewer still have addressed whether a social media account is considered property of the estate. In a case of first impression in 2015, the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas concluded that a debtor's Twitter and Facebook accounts fell under property of the estate. This Comment argues that social media accounts should not automatically fit within the broad scope of § 541(a)(1). Rather, courts should apply a factor-driven, case-by-case analysis to determine whether social media accounts constitute property of the estate. This Comment then proposes a three-prong analytical framework to guide courts' classification of a debtor's social media accounts.Read More »
