How to be a Black Republican: the Ben Carson story
By Hollie Pich
25.Nov.15
Ben Carson, paediatric neurosurgeon turned Republican Presidential candidate, is best known for his flexible relationship with truth and reality. Since stepping onto the national stage in 2013, Carson has made the following claims: Obamacare is 'the worst thing that has happened' in America since slavery; prison turns people gay; AP history creates soldiers for ISIS; Hitler's gun control caused the Holocaust; and the pyramids were grain silos. That's just the shortlist. Despite these wildly provocative claims – or perhaps due to them – Carson is enjoying polling success in the Republican race, pulling ahead of favourite Jeb Bush and theatrical Donald Trump (although, at the time of publishing, his lead had slipped). In the extensive media coverage of Carson's campaign, it is clear that one issue continues to stymie Americans: his political affiliation. He's an African-American presidential candidate for the Republican Party, and Black Republicans are few and far between.
African Americans are, and always have been, the most partisan voters in the United States; today, upward of ninety per cent of Black Americans vote Democratic. This is a staggering figure, particularly if you consider that almost one third of African Americans identify themselves as conservative. This begs an obvious question: why aren't these conservative African Americans voting Republican?
The answer lies in history. African-American voting habits can be traced back to abolition of slavery. When President Lincoln 'freed the slaves' he ensured the electoral support of Black Americans. In the decades that followed emancipation, wherever African Americans were able to vote, they overwhelmingly cast their ballots for the Republican Party (during this period the Republican Party was America's liberal party). During the 1930s, Democratic President Franklin D Roosevelt's 'rights revolution' swept the nation, and markedly improved the condition of Black Americans across the nation. African Americans were quick to notice the change in party policy; writing in 1976, the editors of the Black periodical the Chicago Defender declared, 'since President Franklin and the New Deal, being Black and Republican was about as compatible as being Black and aspiring to leadership in the Ku Klux Klan.' The Democratic Party solidified the support of African-American voters during the 1960s, as President Lyndon B Johnson's government presided over the largest extension of civil rights in the history of the United States.
Throughout US history, Black Americans have consistently voted for the party that will defend and extend their civil rights. As historian Leah Wright Rigeur argues convincingly in her 2014 book The Loneliness of the Black Republican, even conservative African Americans overwhelmingly support civil rights. Elections embody this conflict between conservatism and civil rights: while Black conservatives may believe in Republican principles, they are reluctant to vote for the party lest their civil rights be wound back.
The Republican Party has done little to allay these fears, supporting measures ranging from stricter voter identification laws, to rolling back affirmative action schemes, to challenging fair-housing legislation. Black Americans understand 'the party's color blind language as coded antiblack antagonisms.' Moreover, the GOP has consciously and repeatedly courted the white southern vote. This began in earnest during the 1960s, when the party fiercely opposed the civil rights movement and the legislative changes it prompted. Today, the party is unable to shake the perception that they are racially conservative and indifferent to the Black experience in America.
History explains why Black Republicans are treated as curiosities, and why the term itself – Black Republican – is treated as an oxymoron. As Rigeur wrote, 'All of our instincts, scholarly or otherwise, tell us that African Americans should not be Republicans, nor should they be conservatives.' History also reveals that there have always been Black conservatives, and that they have always occupied a unique position in the American political landscape.
Ben Carson comes from a long tradition of Black conservatism, 'one that is rooted in a belief in religious morality, personal responsibility, self-help, individualism and free-market enterprise.' Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth century, Black leaders such as Booker T Washington espoused an accommodationist strategy for Black advancement. Rather than directly challenging white supremacy through political means, Black conservatives argued the most effective way of improving African-American prospects was through economic mobility. This view was updated during the 1980s and 1990s, when Black conservatives such as Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and public intellectual Thomas Sowell, were given a national platform to air their views. Black conservatives increasingly began to call for 'colour-blind' policies, arguing that racism was best tackled through individual acts and not through structural change.
The motivations of Black Republicans can be, for some, difficult to discern. Republicans are conservative, and conservatism implies the maintenance of the status quo; what about that unequal status quo could African Americans be seeking to preserve? Carson's motivations for joining the Republican Party, however, are far less interesting and important than what his candidacy can tell us about race, the Republican Party and America.
Carson has been extremely well received by both white and Black conservatives. In particular, white conservatives have heaped praise on the candidate – Rupert Murdoch recently labelled him a 'real Black president', and Carson has been widely lauded as the right-wing answer to President Obama. Carson's appeal lies partly in his life story: despite some imagined details, it (appears) undeniable that Carson grew up in poverty, and raised himself 'up by his bootstraps' in order to gain phenomenal success as a surgeon. His life confirms the mythology of the American Dream, and supports the broader Republican stance that change is affected by individual actions. Carson's popularity is also fuelled by his enthusiastic endorsement of Republican policies and positions. It allows for the political equivalent of 'I'm not a racist, I have Black friends,' with the Republican Party able to point to an African-American man endorsing their views on so-called 'race issues.'
In essence, Carson's candidacy – like Herman Cain before him, and Alan Keyes before that – illustrates Republican efforts to attract Black votes through 'identity politics, not policy'. This strategy is unlikely to pay dividends. Historically, Black Republicans candidates have not swayed Black voters; a recent study by David Niven from the University of Cincinnati found that 'party matters so much more than race.'
Ultimately, the necessity of the Republican Party to attract Black voters through identity politics points to a truth they would rather hide: America is not post-racial. If it were, conservative African Americans would feel free to vote Republican without fear of losing their fundamental civil rights.

I know this is the wrong assumption to make, but I'm always so surprised that someone who's obviously so clever in some areas manages to come out with such utterly inane comments. I guess Ben Carson is a poster child for the argument for multiple intelligences.
From anon on 3 March 2016 at 2.29 am
I believe most of the people voting for Carson are of a more spiritual evangelical and Carson knows that. Carson I believe is purposefully doing his part to rob Cruz of evangelical voters because of the Iowa fiasco where Cruz's staff put out the message he was leaving the race. He is getting even with Cruz for that knowing these evangelicals for him are really more evangelical meaning more spiritual than those supporting Trump.
These type of evangelicals would most likely go to Cruz bolstering his victories especially like what we just witnessed Super Tuesday where only a few percentage points separated Trump's victory over Cruz. I do agree with Cruz it does appear Trump is unstoppable and the rest of the way is mostly going to be of a cosmetic nature. He said, unless the people unite from this day forward joining him the party is over. He knows he has done the math; it doesn't take a rocket scientist to be able to see the very visible handwriting on the wall if true conservatives don't coalesce behind his campaign. We'll have to wait to see the final tally of the popular vote and the delegate distribution but this is what I think it will turn out to be as stated.

It's all over – Trump will be President. Fast Capitalism will be seen to have truly prevailed. The business of leading will be leading business. Not a bug's life, for sure, thereafter.

The CMDh considered that the changes recommended for finasteride 1 mg tablets, introduced as an outcome of a parallel work-sharing variation, should additionally be part of the single assessment outcome of this PSUR procedure.
Further information regarding the above mentioned PSUSA procedures, including information on the implementation, will be published on the EMA website.
In the January 2017 CMDh press release, following the adoption of the CMDh position for the PSUSA on budesonide, the CMDh requested MAHs of all corticosteroid containing medicinal products to implement the outcome of the PSUSA assessment with regard to "Blurred Vision" and "Central Serous Chorioretinopathy", which have been identified as class risk effects of corticosteroids. However, the frequency of the adverse reactions mentioned in the PSUSA outcome is only applicable to budesonide. For other corticosteroids and/or formulations not covered by the PSUSA, the frequency "not known" should be mentioned. The MAHs should adapt the frequency for their products in the future. For the implementation, the same timelines as for the PSUSA apply.
As part of the PSUSA (PSUSA/00003149/201608) for zoledronic acid, indicated for cancer and fractures (including CAPs and NAPs) the PRAC recommended, on 6 April 2017, an update to the product information to add a warning on osteonecrosis of other anatomical sites and to add this adverse reaction with a frequency very rare. These changes will be found on the Community Register maintained by the European Commission for the national medicinal products.
discussion regarding the underlying pathophysiological mechanism and possible risk factors. This should include similarities and differences with the pathophysiology of osteonecrosis of the jaw or external auditory canal.
Based on the information above, the MAH should consider in the next PSUR the need for updates to the product information to inform healthcare professionals and patients and to introduce potential risk minimisation measures. If the PSUR DLP is not due in the next 6 months and updates to the product information are considered warranted, MAHs should submit the appropriate variation to the relevant competent authorities.
More news from the April 2017 CMDh meeting are available on the CMDh/HMA website.

Se conoce por tricromía al procedimiento fotográfico de reproducción de todos los colores mediante la estampación sucesiva del rojo, verde y azul (RGB) para mezclas aditivas (para pantallas de ordenador, televisores, sensores, etc) y cian, magenta y amarillo (CMYK) para las mezclas sustractivas (usado en impresión)

La primera fotografía en color permanente fue tomada en 1861, por este método, por el físico escocés James Clerk Maxwell que presentó su método aditivo de fotografía en color en Londres, con la intención de demostrar que cualquier color podía obtenerse mezclando luces de los tres colores primarios (rojo, amarillo y azul) en diferentes proporciones. Probó la teoría haciendo pasar la luz a través de filtros coloreados combinados y proyectando el resultado en una pantalla.

Posteriormente Charles Cros y Louis Ducos du Hauron idearon un método (idéntico pero de forma independiente y al mismo tiempo) mediante el cual se fotografiaba 3 veces el mismo objeto, pero cada vez con un filtro de vidrio coloreado (azul verde y rojo) para obtener 3 negativos del objeto (amarillo, cyan y magenta). Luego superponiendo los 3 negativos se obtenía una reproducción muy fiel del original. Los mejores resultados se obtenián cuanto más exactamente la mezcla del rojo, verde y azul se aproximaran al blanco, siendo tales los tonos a emplear en los vidrios (en la superposición de filtros y negativos siempre existe una tendencia a ser más obscuros, ya que cada uno substrae su color de la luz, pero ninguno puede reflejar la luz blanca).

Basado en este método de la tricromía, los talleres gráficos aplicaron desde entonces dichas reglas para la reproducción y estampación.

Estado del arte en la impresión de imágenes (en el tiempo de la tricromía)
Antes de la tricromía existían el daguerrotipo que era una imagen en positivo (pero espejada horizontalmente) en una placa metálica, sin posibilidad de copia, cuyo proceso de exposición era largo en el tiempo.

También casi coetáneo de los daguerrotipos era el calotipo, consistente en un papel que era el negativo, de calidad inferior al daguerrotipo pero más barato y que permitía copias en positivo.

Algo más tarde (1851 aprox.) aparece el colodión, inventado por Abel Niépce basando sus trabajos en los de su tío José Niepce. El método se aplicaba sobre una placa de vidrio que hacía de positivo y las copias se hacían sobre diferentes soportes donde la emulsión era la albúmina del huevo. Surgieron variaciones del método ya que inicialmente los positivos eran también sobre vidrio y resultaban caros, hasta llegar a un papel albuminado bastante más barato.

Cronológicamente (la tricromía de Hauron) vino a coincidir con el invento de las placas autocromas de los hermanos Lumiere, que tuvo gran aceptación, por lo que el método fue relegado de su posición inicial al olvido.

Conocimientos y estudios sobre la luz hasta entonces
Todas estas descripciones están basadas en los descubrimientos que Newton hizo respecto del desdoblamiento de la luz en el espectro.

Debemos al fisiólogo Tomás Young el estudio de la percepción de los colores, que basó sus teorías en las anteriores ya conocidas. Como que el ojo humano debía tener 3 fibras excitadoras para producir las sensaciones de los 3 colores primarios. E ideó diferentes experimentos para probar sus teorías. A la luz de sus teorías y experimentos, estimuló en muchos otros investigadores una intensa actividad de investigaciones para tratar de esclarecer los diversos fenómenos y solucionar la obsesiva idea de imprimir en colores, que venía haciéndose manifiesto desde el invento de la imprenta. Uno de ellos fue el propio Becquerel (padre del Becquerel descubridor de la radioactividad), que llegó a obtener una fotografía del espectro solar allá por 1840.

Helmoltz razonó acertadamente los términos de mezclas aditivas y sustractivas de colores, sobre las que existía mucha controversia científica sobre la aparente contradicción, basando sus trabajos en completar los de Tomás Young.

Estudios posteriores influenciados por la tricromía
Si J. Clerk Maxwell aborda la problemática de la fotografía de colores, Cros y Hauron aportaron a la tricromía la separación fotográfica. Pero todavía quedaban problemas no resueltos satisfactoriamente.

Frederic Eugene Ives alcanzó gran éxito (ya era famoso por un método propio de fotograbado) al establecer en 1888 la tricromía por síntesis aditiva. Posteriormente desarrolló un sistema estereoscópico (un sistema 3D que no requiere el uso de gafas).

Los hermanos Lumiere, después de varios intentos lograron resolver el problema de fijar los colores a la fotografía de una manera sencilla y barata en lo que llamaron placas autocromas.

Los conocimientos sobre la tricromía, fueron ampliamente estudiados por Gabriel Lippmann, desarrollando el método de fotocromía que lleva su nombre. Lippmann aporta a la tricromía la solución a problemas del fenómeno de interferencias, estudos por los que obtuvo el premio Nobel de física en 1908.

L'abbaye Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption du Bournet était une abbaye située dans un vallon sur la commune de Courgeac, en Charente.

Histoire

Fondation
Elle est fondée en 1113 par Géraud de Salles, qui la soumit à la règle de saint Benoît.

Évolution du statut
À l'origine bénédictine, l'abbaye fut rapidement soumise, en 1125, à l'ordre cistercien, par l'évêque d'Angoulême Girard II avec l'appui du seigneur de Montmoreau.

Mais elle redevient bénédictine au .

Une bulle du pape Eugène III, confirmée en 1460 par le pape Pie II, avait directement rattaché l'abbaye au Saint-Siège. Cependant, à partir de l'année 1480, ses abbés rendent hommage à l'évêque d'Angoulême, comme lors de la domination anglaise, ainsi qu'après les Guerres de Religion.

Guerres, pillages et destructions
L'abbaye avait peu de biens considérables. Cependant elle eut à souffrir des Guerres de Religion à la fin du  et au milieu du .

En 1565, les protestants la pillèrent, brûlèrent ses chartes et renversèrent son église. En 1615, Jacques Goulard, baron de Touvérac et seigneur de La Faye, s'installa dans l'abbaye et substitua ses serviteurs aux religieux. Une sentence du  renvoya enfin les religieux dans leur abbaye.

Les quatre religieux formant alors la communauté durent se loger dans une maison particulière prise en location, avant que l'abbaye ne fût restaurée pendant la seconde moitié du  sous les abbés Jacques de Rochechouart et Guillaume de La Roche.

Principaux abbés
Parmi les principaux abbés de Bournet, il y avait Charles de Bony, qui, nommé évêque d'Angoulême, conserva néanmoins l'abbaye jusqu'à sa mort, Jacques de Rochechouart qui était en même temps le seigneur de Montmoreau.

L'abbaye ne compta jamais un grand nombre de moines.

Vers le milieu du , l'abbé Hélie Galliot des Roys, a été nommé d'autorité par l'évêque et a réuni entre ses mains tous les offices. Il était encore en titre en 1791.

Perte de la fonction religieuse
L'abbaye est tombé en ruines après la Révolution.

GAAP and Economic Damages
By Stuart Miller, Ph.D., and Dave Douglass, CPA, CFA
Today's CPA, January/February 2021
In litigation disputes, it is not uncommon for damages experts to rely on financial information from one party or multiple parties. The information produced may be audited or unaudited.
In the United States, a company's financial statements are often prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Attorneys, judges and other interested parties who are aware of GAAP, but unfamiliar with its purpose, may seek to understand whether the expert's damages methodology "applies" or is "consistent with" GAAP.
In this article, we review the purpose of GAAP and clarify the nexus between GAAP and the analysis of litigation damages in the United States. With certain exceptions, such as where the financial statements themselves are a basis for the dispute (e.g., allegations of accounting fraud), it is not the expert's role to "apply" GAAP or perform an analysis that is "consistent with" GAAP. This is because GAAP is a reporting standard applicable to the preparation of financial statements, while an expert will typically take financial statements as an input to which standard damages methodologies are then applied.
Accounting Overview
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles are a collection of commonly followed accounting rules and standards for financial reporting. The purpose of GAAP is to allow the users of financial statements to be able to understand the financial condition of entities subject to GAAP, and to provide transparency in financial reporting and consistency from one entity to another.1 GAAP rules vary by country, which has historically made it difficult (without performing adjustments) to compare closely an entity subject to one country's adherence to U.S. GAAP is often necessarily, and in general does GAAP to an entity subject to another viewed favorably by private not, apply to the determination of country's GAAP.
As a result, there has been an impetus globally to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Such an adoption would make comparisons significantly easier.2 Currently, 120 countries have adopted IFRS in whole or in part, but for the foreseeable future, the U.S. will still be using its GAAP, as no decision has been made on a timeline to adopt IFRS. 3
Since July 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has been the official source of nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. 4 U.S. GAAP is required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for companies whose stock is publicly traded in the United States.5 Additionally, can be a requirement of lenders and acquirers, even if the subject company would not normally be required by law to conform to GAAP. Generally, auditors of financial statements subject to U.S. GAAP indicate as part of their audit opinion whether the financial statements conform to GAAP:
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of X Company as of [at] December 31, 20XX, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.6
However, as we explain in the following section, GAAP does not necessarily, and in general does not, apply to the determination of economic damages.
Application (or Nonapplication) of GAAP to the Determination of Economic Damages
The Federal Judicial Center's Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence (Reference Manual) identifies five categories of damages measures:
Expectation;
Reliance;
Restitution;
Statutory; and
Punitive.7
The Reference Manual states that when measuring economic damages, "the goal … is to find the plaintiff's loss of economic value from the defendant's harmful act."8 A relevant question is whether the practitioner's pursuit of this goal needs to be done in a matter that is "consistent with GAAP." In most cases, the practitioner will rely on financial information provided by the parties in the determination of economic damages.
As discussed earlier, unless a party's financial records are the basis for the dispute, the damages analysis is conducted independent of GAAP. The reason, again, is that GAAP standardizes financial reporting so that financial statements are comparable across companies.
GAAP is not a methodology for the calculation of economic damages. As others have summarized, an "expert opinion in litigation, while invariably rooted in the financial books and records of the disputing party or parties, is not an auditor's opinion on financial statements and may therefore be exempt from GAAP and GAAS."
Practitioners need to understand the distinction between auditors' opinions and expert opinions. GAAP and generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) relate to the preparation and examination of a company's financial statements. An auditor's opinion as a result of an audit, review or compilation engagement addresses whether – in the opinion of the auditor –the financial statements fairly present the results of the company in all material respects. An expert opinion in litigation, on the other hand, while invariably rooted in the financial books and records of the disputing party or parties, is not an auditor's opinion on financial statements and may be therefore exempt from GAAP and GAAS.9
The fact that GAAP itself is not a damages calculation methodology does not absolve the practitioner from undertaking reasonable efforts to confirm the validity of the data relied upon. While the "validity of data is ultimately a matter of judgment … [v]alidation of data turns in part on commonsense indicators of accuracy and bias."10
The Reference Manual provides "a list, in rough order presumptive validity, of data sources often used in damages measurement."11 In this list, the first category of information is official government publications and databases. The second and third items listed are a "company's audited financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission" and a "company's accounting records maintained in the normal course of business."12
This is not surprising, as a company's SEC filings, such as form 10-Ks, are signed by its CEO and CFO as to their accuracy13 and a company's audited financial statements are typically based on its accounting records maintained in the normal course of business. Thus, while practitioners should evaluate the reasonableness of the information they rely on, practitioners do not routinely evaluate whether the underlying data they rely on was prepared following GAAP. This typically would be duplicative of the work performed by the company's auditors and accountants and outside the scope of the expert's engagement, which is presumably to reach an expert opinion on damages.
In certain instances, it may fall to an expert to apply GAAP and/or GAAS. Such instances may include disputes as to the accuracy of the financial statements, where the plaintiff files suit against firm management for not reporting financial statements to auditors in accordance with GAAP, or purchase/sale disputes in which one party questions the accuracy of prior financial statements that may impact the determination of a post-closing working capital adjustment.14
Outside of these and related scenarios where the statements are in dispute, the practitioner typically relies on the financial information provided in performing the calculation of economic damages.
Best practices for the determination of economic damages are beyond the scope of this article; however, the determination of economic damages itself is neither consistent with nor inconsistent with GAAP. The nexus of GAAP and economic damages occurs when the expert relies on data as an input that has or has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
In the lost profits context, the determination of but-for revenues, incremental costs, and other considerations such as prejudgment interest and the application of taxes is performed in a manner that is agnostic to GAAP.
Similarly, in an intellectual property context, the determination of a reasonable royalty rate is based on considerations such as comparable license agreements, cost savings, available non-infringing alternatives and profitability attributed to the patented invention, and is also agnostic to GAAP.

Role of the Damages Expert
In summary, GAAP is directed toward the preparation of a company's financial statements and facilitates comparison of financial performance across companies and GAAP itself is not a methodology for the determination of damages.
With certain exceptions, it is not the role of the damages expert to "apply GAAP" or perform a damages analysis that is "consistent with" GAAP. This is because frequently (though not always), the expert's analysis relies on a party's financial statements as an input.
If the financial information relied on is not in dispute and the expert reasonably believes the information to be accurate, it generally does not fall to the damages expert to apply GAAP.

1. Sweat everyday. Unfortunately, sweating has gotten a bad reputation. Sweating does not cause acne. In fact, sweating is actually your body's way of helping to keep your skin clean. Breaking a sweat once a day will make your skin glow, as exercise improves your circulation and oxygen levels and will result in a gorgeous complexion.
2. Disinfect your cellphone. According to recent studies, that smartphone you can't keep your hands off of can have 18 times more harmful bacteria, including Staph, E.Coli and Salmonella, than a public toilet handle. All those germs land right on your cheek and jawline every time you chat away, causing pimples and irritation. To keep your phone (and face) bacteria-free, wipe it down with an antibacterial wipe once a day.
3. Use a product with Vitamin C. Aging, sun exposure and hormonal changes can lead to dark spots and hyperpigmentation. To help minimize uneven coloration try a serum that contains Vitamin C, which will help even out your skin tone. We recommend PCA Skin C-Strength 20%, Obagi Professional-C Serum 20%, and GloTherapeutics Ultra 15% Vitamin C.
4. Manage stress. Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems. To encourage healthy skin — and a healthy state of mind — take steps to manage your stress. Set reasonable limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. The results might be more dramatic than you expect.
5. Drink more water. Staying hydrated can clear up your skin and people often report a healthy glow after drinking water. It won't happen overnight, of course, but just a week of drinking a healthy amount of water can have good effects on your skin.
6. Don't over-exfoliate: Keep in mind that the purpose of exfoliating is to remove skin cells that are dead. You shouldn't have to scrub too hard or too often to make that happen. If you do, you're likely to take off healthy cells, too, which might leave your skin looking red and feeling sore. If you've never used a Clarisonic, you're missing out. It deeply cleanses pores without harsh chemicals or abrasion. It also helps products better absorb into the skin. Dermatologists, celebrities and beauty guru's all rave about the Clarisonic, so you know it's good!
7. Start using retinol. Retinol has decades of clinical data to support its efficacy, helps skin cell turnover, and boosts collagen production to keep skin firm and youthful. It also has great anti-inflammatory effects, which is why it's as effective at treating acne as it is at treating wrinkles and other signs of aging. We like SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 30ml, Jan Marini Retinol Plus, and DermaQuest Retinol Youth Serum.
8. Be patient with your products. We're all in a hurry to see results, but putting on the brakes can ensure that the results you get are positive. When you're starting a new product, use it every other day, and never try a few new products at one time. Instead, introduce one new product every three to four days. You be less likely to experience dryness, irritation, and burning, and if you do, you'll know right away who the culprit is. Give any new product at least 12 weeks (and up to 6 months) to see if it's really improving your skin before deciding it isn't right for you.

est une comédie franco-britannique réalisée par Paul King qui mêle animation et prises de vues réelles, sortie en 2014.

Il s'agit d'une adaptation des aventures de l'Ours Paddington, écrites de 1958 à 2012 par l'auteur anglais Michael Bond.

Synopsis
Un explorateur des années 1960 explore les grandes forêts du Pérou et y découvre une nouvelle espèce d'ours brun. Il se lie d'amitié avec un couple d'ours, qu'il baptise Pastuzo et Lucy, et leur apprend à faire de la marmelade. Des années plus tard, Pastuzo et Lucy coulent des jours heureux en compagnie de leur neveu. Lors d'un tremblement de terre, un arbre tombe sur Pastuzo et l'écrase. Lucy et son neveu traversent la forêt jusqu'au port. Là-bas, le petit ours embarque clandestinement à bord d'un cargo qui l'emmène à Londres. Sa tante reste au Pérou et s'installe dans une maison de retraite pour les ours où elle sera en sécurité. L'ourson arrive à la gare de Paddington et est recueilli par la famille Brown (en théorie pour une seule nuit) qui le baptise alors « Paddington ».

The transport sector is an important contributor to pollution in cities. The sector accounts for a significant contribution in PM2.5 concentrations in most Indian cities. In Bengaluru, the sector accounts for almost 50% of PM2.5 concentrations.
The series 'Cooking with cleaner fuels in India: a strategic analysis and assessment' is a collection of four policy briefs that carry findings emanating from a joint research by TERI and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (with support from UNICEF) on healthy cooking fuel options for India. The briefs trace the usage of different fuels in rural and urban households, health implications of using less cleaner cooking fuels, and stakeholder partnerships of governments, funding agencies, industry and consumer groups to accelerate adoption of cleaner cooking fuels.

Q: C program acting weird I've started implementing a circular queue in C, and I have the following lines of code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "cirq.h"

//allocate a circular queue
cirq cq_alloc(void){
  cirq cq = NULL;
  element *head;
  element *tail;

  if((head = malloc(sizeof(struct element*))) &&
      (tail = malloc(sizeof(struct element *)))){
    head->content = 0; // head node keeps track of size.
    tail->content = NULL;
    head->next = tail;
    tail->next = head;
    cq = &head;
  } else {
    printf("ERROR: No space for more cqueues.\n");
  }
  return cq;
}

int cq_size(cirq q){
  return (int)(*q)->content;
}

int main(){
  cirq q = cq_alloc();
  printf("Size of element ptr %lu\n", sizeof(struct element *));
  printf("%d\n", cq_size(q));
  return 0;
}

Now when I compile and run this program, having commented out the line in main that prints out sizeof(struct element *)), the program runs fine and I get the right size of the queue, 0. When I leave the line in, the size of the struct is printed out, but after that I get a segmentation fault: 11. Also, to make things clear, the struct element has void *data and struct element *next fields. How can adding in a line that prints stuff change the behavior of the program so much?
EDIT: cirq.h
#ifndef CIRQ_H
#define CIRQ_H
typedef struct element **cirq; // cirq handle

typedef struct element {
  void *content;
  struct element *next;
} element;

extern cirq cq_alloc(void);// allocate a queue
extern int cq_size(cirq q);// return the size of a queue
extern void cq_enq(cirq q, void *value);// add a value to the queue
extern void *cq_deq(cirq q);// dequeue and return a queue value
extern void *cq_peek(cirq q);// return the value at the queue head
extern void cq_rot(cirq q);// requeue the head element at the tail
extern void cq_free(cirq q);// return all space allocated to queue
#endif

A: This is a bad smell:
if((head = malloc(sizeof(struct element*))) &&

You're mallocing the size of a pointer. I think you meant to malloc the struct itself...?

A: It doesn't really matter what cirq is, the fact that you return the address of a local object is the problem.
This here
cq = &head;

is causing the undefined behavior, because that's the address of the pointer head which is stored locally in the function only, when the function returns it's deallocated and thus invalid. Using it elsewhere (outside the function) is Undefined Behavior.
Also, do not typedef a pointer. Never do that, let the code reader know that it is a pointer.

Men are traditionally insecure beings when it comes to dealing with women, particularly the hardcore conservative men, be them be Arabs, Americans, Chinese or Africans.? Each one has adopted a blunt to subtle way of "keeping the woman in her place." Look at our own conservatives denying equal pay, equal insurance rates, and equal say in health matters and on and on…

Muslims may see him as living the life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who lived a full life with all the pains and joys of life that a normal human would endure for the sake of public good. The Jewish people may long for a Mandela to resurrect social justice as their core value risking the overriding need for security with ultimate justice for the inhabitants of Israel-Palestine. Hindus may see it as someone who practiced the ideals of Vasudhaiva Kutumbukum (the whole world is one family) and the Buddhists may appreciate his passive but positive action. Indeed, most religious people can relate with Mandela.

As a young boy raised in Washington, D.C., I recall my mother saying to be sure to use the bathroom before we left the house to go shopping at the downtown department stores. Why? She did this to spare me the indignity of not being allowed to use the bathrooms designated for whites ?C there were no ??whites only?? signs, but that was the custom.

Religion is playing a role in the 2012 election campaign. But its effects are more subtle than in other years, primarily because neither party has chosen to use high-profile religious leaders or events as wedge issues in the campaign.

The advisory committee is not the only tech fund group on which questions have surfaced. Tate's life science panel also had apparent entanglements. The state auditor found that several unnamed members had "financial relationships" with tech fund recipients. "Those conflicts were never reported" to the tech fund, the audit said.
State administrators may choose to place time limits on tests so districts don't have to offer them for a full day, Shapiro said. This will cut overall testing length and let schools get back to teaching.

Americans as a group still believe in the Golden Rule ― do unto others as you would have them do unto you �C and in the idea that we are in this together, that what hurts our sister and brother citizens hurts us all. Americans still grasp the idea of the common good ― and they get that that is NOT socialism. None of this implies that morality did not inform their vote. On the contrary, a vote for Obama became for many citizens a moral statement, an acknowledgement of the second of the two great commandments ― to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Chronic Embitterment and the Litigation Process
Fiona Stanton
CPD Points: 1 Price:
Is the stress of the compensation process contributing to a rise in secondary psychological claims and do workers lodge more work-related stress claims due to perceived injustices and how do we define and manage stress disorders that don't fit any psychiatric diagnoses? This presentation explores, from both a legal and a practical perspective, the effects of ongoing compensation claims on the recovery of injured workers and the concept of 'chronic embitterment'. It will also consider how to avoid the pitfalls these issues can create.
Solicitor, HBA Legal
Andrew graduated from the University of Notre Dame (Sydney) in 2014 with a Bachelor of Law/Bachelor of Arts (History), and was admitted to practice as a solicitor in 2015.
Andrew has spent the majority of his career specialising in federal workers' compensation law, representing respondents in claims for workers' compensation under the Comcare scheme, but he also acts on behalf of large insurers in public liability disputes. Andrew has a particular interest in the rehabilitation side of workers' compensation and the issues that arise when getting employees back to work.

For an adjustable rate mortgage APR will stay the same or be lower than the ARM's initial rate if at the time of closing the index the ARM rate is based on is very low and is expected to stay low.
Although the lender's fees will be reflected in the APR for the adjustable rate mortgage, it is not unusual that the APR of an ARM is lower than the APR of the fixed rate mortgage counterpart when the index is low.
If the base index is high and is expected to stay high or rise, the APR of the adjustable rate mortgage may get higher than the FRM's APR.
Also, the APR of the adjustable rate loan will depend on your credit score. So, the higher score, the lower APR.


Al Roker returns to the Today Show this morning with a new part.
Roker has been off the show, after undergoing knee replacement. While Roker was on the sidelines, having his knee replaced, the Today Show was doing some surgery of it's own.
NBC has cut Billy Bush from the show and word is that Roker was more than happy to see him go. In Bush's first week on air, he and Roker got into it over the Ryan Lochte lies.
BTW- If you were worried about Al Periscoping while he was driving to work, don't be. Roker gets chauffeured to his job....you know....just like all of us.
Break a leg Al.....ummmmmm.... sorry maybe a bad choice of words.

Here you will only find information on those specifically known as "whales" of both the baleen and toothed variety.
Baleen Whales
Baleen whales are the biggest category not only pyshically but in quantity of species. Baleen whales family the most people think of when they think of whales containing such notable members as the humpback whale, gray whale, and the biggest animal on Earth, the blue whale.
Southern Right Whale
These types of whales are robust, have long baleen plates, and arched mouths that are strong. They have large bumps that are white in color along the edges of their lower jaws, above their eyes, and on top of their head. They lack dorsal fins.

Whales are wonderful creatures. Some times i imagine the kind of food that will satisfy them and what they feed on to survive. It's amazine seeing such large creature swiming in ocean. I want to use this medium encourage environmental protection agencies and activist in the global community to protect and conserve Whales in their various species. I still wish if large mamals that have gone extinct to come back. What do you think?

Justia Dockets & Filings Second Circuit New York Eastern District Faith v. Khosrowshahi et al Filing 6
Faith v. Khosrowshahi et al
ORDER - Before the Court is the in forma pauperis application filed by pro se plaintiff, Michael Faith ("Plaintiff"). (See ECF No. 2 .) Upon review and for the reasons that follow, the application to proceed in forma pauperis is denied. Pl aintiff is directed to remit the $402.00 filing fee within fourteen (14) days from the date of this Order to proceed with this case. The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this Order would not be taken i n good faith and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of any appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962).SEE ATTACHED ORDER for details. So Ordered by Judge Joan M. Azrack on 1/10/2022. c/m to pro se plaintiff (Coleman, Laurie)
Case 2:21-cv-06913-JMA-JMW Document 6 Filed 01/10/22 Page 1 of 2 PageID #: 40 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK --------------------------------------------------------------X MICHAEL FAITH, For Online Publication Only Plaintiff, ORDER 21-CV-6913(JMA)(JMW) -againstDARA KHOSROWSHAHI, et al., Defendants. -------------------------------------------------------------X AZRACK, United States District Judge: Before the Court is the in forma pauperis application filed by pro se plaintiff, Michael Faith ("Plaintiff"). (See ECF No. 2.) Upon review and for the reasons that follow, the application to proceed in forma pauperis is denied. Plaintiff is directed to remit the $402.00 filing fee within fourteen (14) days from the date of this Order to proceed with this case. To qualify for in forma pauperis status, the Supreme Court has long held that "an affidavit is sufficient which states that one cannot because of his poverty pay or give security for the costs [inherent in litigation] and still be able to provide himself and dependents with the necessities of life." Adkins v. E.I. Du Pont De Nemours & Co., 335 U.S. 331, 339 (1948) (internal quotation marks omitted). The purpose of the statute permitting litigants to proceed in forma pauperis is to ensure that indigent persons have equal access to the judicial system. Davis v. NYC Dept. of Educ., No. 10-CV-3812, 2010 WL 3419671, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 27, 2010) (citing Gregory v. NYC Health & Hosp. Corp., No. 07-CV-1531, 2007 WL 1199010, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Apr. 17, 2007)). The determination of whether an applicant qualifies for in forma pauperis status is within the discretion of the district court. Pinede v. New York City Dept. of Envtl. Prot., No. 12-CV06344, 2013 WL 1410380, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. Apr. 8, 2013) (collecting cases). The Court may dismiss a case brought by a litigant requesting to proceed in forma pauperis if the "allegation of poverty is untrue." 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(A). Case 2:21-cv-06913-JMA-JMW Document 6 Filed 01/10/22 Page 2 of 2 PageID #: 41 Plaintiff's application reflects that he has been unemployed since July 2021 and, in the past twelve months, Plaintiff has received income in the total sum of $30,964. See ECF No. 2 at ¶¶ 23. Plaintiff reports having $47,000 in cash or in an account as well as a ROTH IRA valued at $18,000. Id. at ¶¶ 4-5. The only additional asset plaintiff reports owning is a 2011 Toyota Rav4. Id. ¶ 5. Plaintiff's reported monthly expenses total approximately $1,285. (Id. at ¶ 6.) Plaintiff has not listed any dependents and his only reported debt is for a student loan in the total sum of $53,000 and for which monthly payments are reported to begin this month in an unspecified amount. See id. at 6-8. Accordingly, given that the filing fee for the complaint is $402.00, Plaintiff's application demonstrates that he can afford to pay the Court's filing fee. Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis is denied and Plaintiff is directed to pay the $402.00 filing fee within fourteen (14) days of the date of this Order. Plaintiff is warned that a failure to timely comply with this Order may lead to the dismissal of the complaint without prejudice for failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). Plaintiff is further warned that, once paid, there are no refunds no matter the outcome of the case. Plaintiff is encouraged to avail himself of the free resources provided by the Pro Se Legal Assistance Program run by Hofstra Law School and he may reach them by telephone at 631-2972575 or by e-mail: PSLAP@hofstra.edu. The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of any appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). SO ORDERED. Dated: ___/s/JMA______________________ JOAN M. AZRACK UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE January 10, 2022 Central Islip, New York 2


My name is Jerry Nkumu I'm from Belgium and of Congolese descent. I'm a versatile graphic designer, with over 10 years of experience in various fields of design. I love martial arts (should seriously get back to it), video games (although no time to play them anymore), music and most importantly film (looking forward to start a career in filmmaking). I'm also the occasional music composer.
I am currently freelancing but you never know.
I am currently based in Liège (Belgium) but this is likely to change. i am a digital nomad.
Ok so there are a bunch but i'll list those i've been using since i had my first computer in 2001: Photoshop, FL Studio, MS Word, Excel, Vuze (formerly Azureus). On mobile (iPhone) definitely Instagram, the Notes & To-Do app, GarageBand, a few dictionaries. Google Maps saved my life quite a few times.
I work from home so i have a workspace set up in my living room. (see pic). But on lazy days it looks like my bedroom.
It depends what kind of work I'm doing. When Painting (Wacom), writing synopsises or ideas for stories I usually play epic music or film / video game scores. Most notably a selection from Hans Zimmer's Best (inception is def a top 2), and the entire Skyrim by Jeremy Soule and various others. For other work or in general i usually bump any of my 3 fav iTunes radio stations Allegro Lounge, Ambient Sleeping Pill and Ambientesque.
I tend to be more inspired at night. So I usually try to save the most puzzling jobs for later unless working hour feedbacks are required. But in terms of daily rituals i'd say watch a bunch of videos on youtube and google news on various topic just to get my brain started, then eat something before any work or i have headaches. If it's gym day that is done prior work as well. Also power naps.
Repeat after me: "I WILL STAY AWAY FROM MY CELL PHONE AND SOCIAL MEDIA" Googling stuff from your line of work for inspiration, online classes to add skills to your belt is def a must. Never be afraid to learn new stuff that could be helpful on the way. Getting used to Multitasking: Stop a current task to move to another just to snap out of it and refresh your brain cells. Have snacks / fruits / soft drinks around. Going outside once in a while not to turn into a goblin.
I'd need colleagues for that. But when i do, I'm generally better at having very diverse skills. Yet I'm well aware there is so much i need to learn.
There are so many and they all apply to different aspects of life. But I'd say one that struck me the most and appears almost on all my online profiles is "Successful Men do Daily what unsuccessful men do occasionally". It was a quote someone shared in my twitter feed years ago. I don't know who the author is, but it had a profound impact and changed the way I achieve my goals. "Do or Do not" from Yoda is a close match though.
Best tip for saving time ?
Don't waste time on things that aren't useful to the goals you set!!! Also invest on gears that are up to the task. I know it's cliché but seriously if you can buy a Mac.
I've been a pc user since forever, but the amount of time I am able to save thanks to better productivity on a Mac is just insane. Furthermore, knowing you have invested quite a budget for your passion is always a good incentive not to waste it fooling around.
End of the day: Eat. Watching a movie or various movies news sources such as Collider, Machinima and such. Watching videos / Listening to podcasts about science such as PBS space Time, SpaceRip or specific debates / talks by geniuses such as Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, Lawrence Krauss, James S. Gates and more, until i fall asleep.
My Wacom bamboo tablet + pen, Arturia MiniLab keyboard, two pocket sized HDD's and a USB key are always carried in my backpack when I'm away for more than a day.

Whew! This week was an extra busy one! The week started with Maui author @Toby Neal's visit to our school (spectacular) and ended with a field trip to Celebrate Reading Maui (Author Lois Yamanaka is real! ), with a couple of EdTalks in between.
But I still found time to treasure hunt, of course!
I have 3 #GR8Finds for you this week.
1. How to Embed a Tweet into a Blog Post. A friend asked about how I embedded tweets in my post on digital citizenship. Coincidentally, +Richard Byrne came up with the answer!
2. Thinglink as a curation and app smashing tool.
3. Digital Compass, a digital citizenship game from Common Sense Media, coming soon.

What is the most important aspect of a photo to you?

Linda O'Bryon
O'Bryon is the president of South Carolina ETV, based in Columbia, SC. ETV is the public media network for the state with 19 television and radio stations. She is the founding executive editor of "Nightly Business Repor"t and was one of the two original co-anchors for the program. She was born and raised in Washington, D.C.
Business news is dominated by numbers. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, interest rates, home prices, quantitative easing strategies, and a myriad of financial indices that are reported daily.
But business news is not all about numbers. Early in my business journalism career, I realized that like so many other fields in journalism, good story telling and the people behind the numbers are what provide substance and staying power.
As I mapped out my approach to business news, I often tried to look for the human interest angle. The unexpected. The story behind the story.
The story I found that was most compelling came not from New York or Washington but from Omaha, Neb. It was a story we produced for "Nightly Business Report" in 1994 about Rose Blumkin, better known as "Mrs. B." At the time I interviewed her, she was 100 years old. She founded Nebraska Furniture Mart, the nation's largest furniture store under one roof.
Mrs. B came to the United States from Russia when she was just a young girl. She wanted to make a good life for her mother, whom she called "my princess." She said in the interview, "I came from Russia 75 years ago. I started in the basement. Never lied. Never cheated. Never been a big shot." It was a story Mrs. B loved recounting with her customers.
And when we caught up with Mrs. B, she was still active in the carpet division of the company she founded. Her agility with numbers impressed her customers. They would come in and tell her the size of the room they needed for carpeting. Without a calculator, she told them how many yards were needed and the price.
Her hard work and drive led to a successful furniture business that was eventually acquired by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. Buffett talked about Mrs. B's great ability to know how to deliver the best value to the customer and to "outwork" everyone else. He said, "She knows what she knows and knows what she doesn't know. She defines what I call her circle of competence perfectly."
We visited Mrs. B on a later trip to Omaha, and she was still working at the store, where she continued to use a golf cart to get around the expansive store. Mrs. B died in 1998 at the age of 104.
There are some basics from which we can all draw. Mrs. B's values of hard work and honesty built the business. She showed that one person can make a difference for any organization. Her facility with numbers was a big factor in her success.
But it was her personal story that was the standout. Numbers are the daily language of tracking business and markets, and we need those numbers. Stories about people provide the fabric and the texture of business news.


Everything we do is a choice...EVERYTHING!!!!!
None of those things are DOING something. FYI.
Yes, every single choice you make is indeed yours.
Explain how anything I said is "doing nothing".
okay revise it to say " you have the choice over what conscious ACTIONS you take."
Agree. Even if something isn't your choice (natural phenomenon etc etc)-you still chose to how you react.
Likes and dislikes are not actions (ie doing something).
I think life is full of choices/decisions. Based on our decisions you have certain outcomes.
We are where we are today because of the choices we made along the way.
Eg. When new people come into the dojo to start their martial art training, they can't help but flinch, close their eyes, and turn their backs, even though I have told them, and showed them that it will not help them.
When you talk, how did you put those words together?
Did you choose to jump when you got a fright?
It feels like we choose to do a lot of things I admit that.
The fact of social class has your view hanging out to dry. Very few people across the planet have much real choice in the daily routine of life. I know this is terrible news to those who seek to place the responsibility for ones situation squarely on the shoulders of those who have lived a less than exemplary life.
These kinds of threads are merely an attempt to prove the social construct of charity and caring to be a waste of time, after all, the downtrodden must have wanted it this way, otherwise, they would have made, "better decisions".
The fact is....no one else mentioned this. It appears to be coming out of your own mind.
That is partly true but you have to take circumstances as part of the reason. Some people make decisions they would not usually make because they are in a certain circumstance. Some people have better resources to provide for choices like having money to go to college.


In over 6,000 worksite arrests made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last year only a paltry 135 were employers. The rest targeted were all illegal aliens.
Today the Department of Homeland Security published a "Fact Sheet" essentially scrapping old immigration enforcement methods to focus instead on the employers who knowingly violate the law by hiring illegals--and criminal aliens.
In any event we can see from Secretary Napolitano a series of major policy changes, including her suggested Repeal of the REAL ID Act reported just yesterday.
• The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a vital responsibility to enforce the law and engage in effective worksite enforcement to reduce the demand for illegal employment and protect employment opportunities for the nation's lawful workforce.
• An effective, comprehensive worksite enforcement strategy must address both employers who knowingly hire illegal workers as well as the workers themselves. Of the more than 6,000 arrests related to worksite enforcement in 2008, only 135 were employers.
Department-wide focus targeting criminal aliens and employers who cultivate illegal workplaces by breaking the country's laws and knowingly hiring illegal workers.
• Effective immediately, ICE will focus its resources in the worksite enforcement program on the criminal prosecution of employers who knowingly hire illegal workers in order to target the root cause of illegal immigration.
• ICE will continue to arrest and process for removal any illegal workers who are found in the course of these worksite enforcement actions in a manner consistent with immigration law and DHS priorities. Furthermore, ICE will use all available civil and administrative tools, including civil fines and debarment, to penalize and deter illegal employment.
document fraud, money laundering, and other such criminal conduct.
o ICE offices will obtain indictments, criminal arrest or search warrants, or acommitment from a U.S. Attorney's Office (USAO) to prosecute thetargeted employer before arresting employees for civil immigration violations at a worksite.
enforcements involving 25 or more illegal workers. This reflects a change from the previous threshold of 150.
• DHS is committed to providing employers with the most up-to-date and effective resources to comply with our nation's laws.
• As a former border state Governor, Napolitano signed into law one of the toughest employer sanctions laws in the country in 2007 to target employers who knowingly hired illegal workers.
