Making every drop count
Few years back, the picturesque city of Auraganbad hit national headlines for all the wrong reasons, and caused a small tremor in a many a boardrooms. The city renowned as a tourist locale merci, Ajanta & Ellora caves, was going dry and it was not the citizens only who were going thirsty. Over the past few decades the city, because of its location and connectivity had become a hub of industrial activity, with scores of factories being set up. The urbanisation was good for the people and the industry. Result, lot of foreign firms eagerly set up plant here, especially beer companies. There were over four distilleries and some six odd breweries, churning out Heineken, Budweiser, Carlsberg SAB Miller and other beers. But when the city went dry, the government clamped on the water supply. And the industrial activity in the city came to an almost grinding stop. Water, the commodity, that almost every took for granted, had become a primary factor.
The Aurangabad incident almost became a fable in company boardrooms, with senior management scrambling to understand the severity of the issue, map the supply and put the contingency plan in place… if not to preserve water, at least for the sake of better profits and for fear of having operations shut down. Water is often termed as a life saver and life giver, but with the per capita of water decreasing at a rapid pace, one often questions the role of governments, societies and organizations and the methodologies to preserve and water.
While it is true that water covers 71% of the earth's surface, only one percent of all fresh water is available for use. And hence, when the Carlsberg brewery in Aurangabad had its water supply cut off in 2013, due to the extraordinary drought situation in the region, it was no surprise. In another instance where environmental norms play the classic game of catch and cook and have its final say, an affordable housing project in Vasind near Shahpur by Tatas, was scraped for want of environmental clearances. The most basic amenity of any residential project is water supply. Boisar being a developing suburb, securing approvals for infrastructure amenities is a challenge.
In 2005, a Coca-Cola plant in Kerala not only used excessive amounts of water but contaminated the area's groundwater, resulting in a campaign by local residents and authorities to close the facility. Water scarcity isn't just a prophecy any more, it's a reality. And to make its stance clear, the Indian government declared the year 2013 as, "Water conservation year".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi too has laid special emphasis on water, as he has pitched for improving farm productivity and water conservation and asked states to stress on improving water conservation. Water has also become a political issue with the likes of AAP party in power in Delhi, offering it as a freebie to the denizens of Delhi and then subsequently raising the price of water.
While it seems as if government authorities have taken cognisance of environmental crimes, how has this vigilance and motivation pushed the corporate sector to act before it's too late? Honestly, a number of companies have undertaken water stewardship as a part of their sustainability goals. Business risks around water are now entering the boardroom and owing to the imminent water crisis, organizations have been pushed to rethink their business modules. While water conservation is being done at a CSR level, implementation of water efficient practices are now being carried out within an organization. Corporations are now addressing the concerns and possibilities of water shortage and water pollution in their sustainability goals. Hindalco for example is striving to attain zero effluent discharge status. Industrial and domestic effluent in all plants, are being treated in line with the local pollution control board's guidelines. Godrej intends to reduce the overall consumption of water by 2% over a period of 10 years. The company has undertaken various initiatives in keeping with its philosophy, Reduce, Treat, Recycle and Harvest. Bajaj Auto Ltd, has been able to save 50 per cent water during summer by adopting various water conservation drives guided by the principle of the 3 Rs: (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). And while these may seem like exemplary modules, companies haven't gone beyond rain water harvesting and treatment of water.
Abbott Laboratories is a leading global health care company and has introduced a slew of water saving technologies to its facilities has helped the company save roughly one billion gallons a year despite production growth at many of its plants. They have implemented a leak Tag program aimed at identifying and fixing leaks, in addition to the installation of efficient fixtures and low use landscaping. Other methods include efficient irrigation systems, cooling towers and fittings. Installations such as efficient water scrubbers have been put in place to treat dust emissions. From leak audits and water conservation programs to storm water management and aquifer recharge projects, Kraft foods has gone all out to insure they reduce water consumption while improving the overall quality and sustainability of surface and ground water resources. The exemplary efforts of these global companies are not only pushing India into the rut of underdevelopment, but have showcased their desire and will, to care for the cause of water conservation.
And while, the government and the corporates are doing their bit, on a personal level, someone like Aabid Surti, has started a one-man organisation to save water. He has been personally going from home to home fixing leaking faucets and taps, thereby saving millions of gallons of water.
In the end, it is imperative that saving water is not a choice anymore. From government, corporates to the individuals, everyone has to play a part in saving the precious resource.

BILOXI, Miss. –The Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) will host the August Adventure Quencher: Explore Bayou Heron by Kayak on Saturday, August 18, from 7:30 a.m. until 11 a.m. at the Grand Bay Coastal Resources Center located at 6005 Bayou Heron Road near Moss Point. The tour will take three hours to complete.
Explore the upper reaches of Bayou Heron, Mississippi's easternmost tidal stream with the NERR staff. Participants will meet at the Grand Bay Reserve's Coastal Research Center at 7:30 a.m. and go down to the bayou and launch the kayaks. The plan is to paddle northward to discover how the estuary habitats change further up the bayou.
The bayou is extremely flat and protected and only gets a little choppy in the worst of winds. This paddle adventure is designed for families with children over 6 years old who are able to paddle on their own. However, if you have your own kayak or canoe, you may bring a child of any age as long as everyone wears a life jacket. Due to a limited supply of kayaks, you must pre-register for this event. First come-first served for 14 slots. Please wear closed toed shoes and dress to protect yourself from the sun and the bugs. Do not forget to bring drinking water.
The 18,000-acre reserve is home to several rare or endangered plant and animal species and serves as an essential nursery habitat for numerous important commercial and recreational fish species. The Reserve is managed through state-federal partnership between the MDMR and its local partners—Mississippi Secretary of State's Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Mississippi State University and the Nature Conservancy—and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. For more information on the Reserve and directions to the Grand Bay Coastal Resources Center please go to their website at www.grandbaynerr.org.

In Keeping the Vow, author Fr D. Paul Sullins, a sociologist and a former Episcopal priest, presents his research on a tiny but fascinating subcategory of American Catholic priests — married Catholic priests who were formerly Episcopal priests.
The author is in that group; married with three adult children, he became a Catholic priest in 2002. He is a sociology professor at The Catholic University of America in Washington.
In 1980, the Vatican created a pastoral provision allowing the US to admit into the Catholic priesthood former Episcopal priests who have become Catholic. Since that time, at least 80 priests along with their wives and children have made this transition. Most of them serve in dioceses in the southwest US, many of them in Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The transition is not easy. Former Episcopal priests are extensively tested for their suitability to serve in the Church and for the stability of their marriages.
But research shows that these priests have integrated successfully into Catholic parishes. The expected uneasiness of parishioners and the resentment by single, celibate priests have not materialised.
The wives of these priests also testify that they have been welcomed in their new parishes.
— decided to ordain women to the priesthood, some former Episcopal priests and laity sought full communion with the Catholic Church. In 2003, the Episcopal Church's decision to ordain an openly gay man prompted other Episcopalians to join the Catholic Church.
But this transition comes at a price; married priests cannot serve as pastors to a parish, only as associate pastors.
They cannot hope to rise in the Church's hierarchy and many of them must accept smaller salaries. At the time that these priests came into the Catholic Church, there was no health insurance benefit for spouses and children of clergy and no scholastic assistance for their children as there was in the Episcopal Church.
more loneliness in the priesthood than single priests.
The priestly provision was never intended to solve the problem of the shortage of priests and hasn't done so.
beyond the single, celibate model and that in itself is valuable.

Niching Down Into A Better Market
January 26, 2018 June 20, 2016 by Sean Kaye
Today is the end of Day Four of the most epic house move ever (at least that's what it feels like for me). We started the efforts on Friday and now we're at the close of play on Monday evening (it's 10:30pm as I write this) and I stopped working about an hour ago.
Without going into all the gory details, here are some high-level things:
– We've taken over one metric tonne of garbage to the dump. For those of you in the US, that's 2200lbs of garbage. That's not including the garbage guy we had come by to take a three seater sofa, a coffee table and 15 additional bags of household garbage;
– Since Friday, we've put in about 50 hours of work packing, moving, unpacking, etc. During this time we ferried over 100 boxes of stuff, six dining chairs, clothes for three people, a dog cage and a variety of other things;
– Our new place is about 500m (~500 yards) from our previous place and by our count, I made the trip 30 times over the past four days. I burned 15L (about 5 gallons) of fuel just making that tiny trip back and forth;
– Despite moving so much ourselves, we still had removalists come through today for five hours. That set us back about $650 and they only really took the big stuff. We probably could have gotten away with four hours but our new place has some access "challenges" with tight walkways and a weird internal staircase;
– The weirdest thing happened today, our metal bed frame wouldn't fit up the staircase. This was 1pm and we were looking at having to buy a whole new bed. Instead, I went on Airtasker, advertised for a handyman to come and cut it in half. Within an hour a local handyman replied, took the job and turned up. He discovered why I'm an unhandy man because my idea of cutting the metal frame would have meant the bed collapsing in the middle. He managed to cut the frame and do some serious reinforcements saying that I could now easily jump on the bed without breaking it. The internet and services like Airtasker are so awesome – cost me $75;
– The handyman also took out a kitchen cabinet that was too low and preventing me from putting my fridge in the right spot – he charged me an extra $25. Have I said how great Airtasker is? He also did it in a non-destructive and fully labelled way so we can put it back when we leave; and,
– The downside, I still have no internet. Our Telco can't seem to make the service work because they are muppets. I really have no more to say about that.
I was hoping to get back to normalcy tomorrow, but I think I have one more half day of this insanity. The cleaners are going through the previous house and finally on Thursday I hand it back and we dig ourselves out of a mountain of boxes. Ideally, we'll have an internet connection by then, but I'm not holding my breath.
Now, enough about me… On with the show.
In amongst the madness of moving today, I spoke to a coaching client of mine who has built a great little business for herself over the past two years. When I first started working with her, she was a stay at home mum with pre-schoolers who was considering going back to work to help make ends meet. She had an idea and it was a good one, but I told her flatly that she had no idea how much work was in front of her.
But she committed to the work and every spare second where she wasn't serving as mother and wife went into her business. She's an execution machine with an unbelievable engine – she just puts the effort in non-stop.
What I also liked about her was that she wasn't tainted by all of the garbage marketing gurus out there and the nonsense they espouse. We knew each other through mutual friends, we met for coffee occasionally and when she became a coaching client, the one rule her husband made for her was that we had to do it in person on a weekend so she could have a break from the kids and use her brain.
The interesting work we did together was in getting her to target the right market. Her product started life as an info product, but it was obvious that it could branch out into a series of physical products and a great continuity program. She kind of knew this but didn't really understand "how" or to be honest, that it's as easy to do as it actually is.
None of that concerned me, my problem was always that she just didn't seem to think about who her best audience was. She went very broad and the logic being that the product was well suited to both men and women. And truthfully, in its initial incarnation it was, but it was too generic, it didn't resonate with anyone.
I kept insisting that she target women more and focus on delivering the product to that audience. She was sceptical because, in her niche, women make up a tiny percent of the potential market – probably less than 10% of the buyers are women.
Then she had a breakthrough. That small group of women were not only underserved, the products themselves didn't really speak to them. The info products in that space were generic tripe and the associated physical products were very masculine in nature. Women were able to buy average info products and were really locked out of the physical product side of the market.
She completely reworked her info product to be totally focused on women. Even more interestingly, she segmented her system into three age categories: 18-30, 30-45 and 45 and onwards. She tweaked the info products to suit those age groups and their unique lifestyle situations.
Did I mention she did this in two weeks?
I was stunned. She completely reworked her product and had it ready to go in less than two weeks – she said she just had the inspiration so she worked harder. Like I said, her work ethic is world class.
Within a few weeks, it was obvious that she'd cracked it. Her business doubled in size in six weeks and it doubled again in four weeks. From the moment she'd made that change to when she was making five figures per month took eight weeks.
You could use the cliche of saying that she just "niched down" but that would be missing the point entirely. She found the wealthiest subsegment of an entire market that had been entirely underserviced. She went down into a better market. From what we know about the market she operates in, her competitors make a fraction of what she does servicing the male contingent which makes up about 90% of the total market. Men seemingly won't pay for this information, but women love it tailored for them.
About six months ago, she made a small foray into creating physical products for her audience after she'd bedded in her info product side. The thing with the physical products is that it will increase her customer lifetime value exponentially – it has a very, very high continuity take-up rate.
In our last coaching session (before this horrific move started) she told me she wanted to break the rules again. She was looking at expanding her business to cater for men more specifically. It's very early days, but she wants to take her strategy that she used to breakthrough with women and apply that same concept targeting men.
Again, oddly, that's the biggest portion of her potential audience, but it would appear that despite plenty of people selling to that market, nobody is really serving them. She's going to niche down into yet another potentially bigger and better market.
What she's done with niching down is to move away from what the marketing circus clowns teach. They tell you that you can't be a "dog trainer" that you need to niche down and become a trainer for cocker spaniels. In fact, that may be too generic, you need to niche down more into three-legged cocker spaniels named Rusty and become the best at serving those people.
That's just silly advice and it floats around like turds in the bowl all the time.
When you niche down, you want to go into a better market, not just one with weaker competition (or none at all). You want to be able to target a segment of the market that wants what you offer and for whom you can deliver a better result or product.
The mistake that people make is they either get too granular or they run away from competition. With what my coaching student has done, she's approached her potential audience with something better at a crowd more willing to spend.
I'm not going to take much credit for this one, she's a great coaching client and truthfully the perfect "Casual Marketer". She's got a young family, she has a stellar idea, she's more than willing to put in the hard work and when she's given advice she executes on it every single time even when she doesn't understand it or thinks it's wrong. It's been an honour and a pleasure to watch someone take an idea and turn it into what will be this year a seven-figure business.
You can do it too, you just need to focus and you have to find your better audience!

Q: Search spanning non-continuous areas I have a list of operations, stages of operation, and URLs. This list looks like this:
14257 0 : http://google.com/
14259 0 : http://www.microsoft.com/
14259 1
14259 2
14261 0 : http://www.apple.com/
14261 1
14261 2
14262 0 : http://stackoverflow.com/
14262 1
14263 0 : http://dotancohen.com/
14263 1
14263 2

Notice that operations 14257 and 14262 did not get to stage 2, while the others did.
Consider that the file has already been run through sort. Now how can I reduce the file to only the lines which have not gotten to stage 2? Thus, the final file would look as so:
14257 0 : http://google.com/
14262 0 : http://stackoverflow.com/

A: So basically, you want to delete all lines, that continue on the next 2 lines.
I think, this one does it:
g/\v^%(<(\d+)>\D.*\n)%(\1.*\n)%(\1 2)/d 3

Then afterwards do one more v/^\v\d+\D\d\D:/d and you are left with:
14257 0 : http://google.com/
14262 0 : http://stackoverflow.com/

A: You can do a search for all lines that begin with digits, some whitespace and the number 2. For each match delete that line and the two above it. After that only lines with numbers 0 and 1 will be left, so use a global search and delete every line that doesn't contain a colon:
function! DeleteNonContinuous()
    while search( '^\v\d+\s+2', 'W' ) != 0
        execute "normal 2kdelete"
    endwhile
    %v/:/delete
endfunction

command! DNC :call DeleteNonContinuous()

Use it like:
:DNC

That yields:
14257 0 : http://google.com/
14262 0 : http://stackoverflow.com/

Ed Krayewski | 4.11.2014 10:26 AM
Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) were responding to a report of "assault with a deadly weapon, man with a knife" at an apartment complex in West Hollywood on Monday night when they shot at two hostages attempting to flee, killing one of them. By the department's own account:
As deputies continued attempts to contact the people in the apartment, the apartment door suddenly opened and a male victim came rushing out. He was covered in blood and bleeding profusely from the neck. Simultaneously, Victim [John] Winkler ran out of the door, lunging at the back of the fleeing victim. Both ran directly at the deputies. Winkler was similar to the description of the suspect and was wearing a black shirt. Believing Winkler was the assailant and the assault was ongoing and he would attack the entry team; three deputies fired their duty weapons at him. Victim Winkler was struck by the gunfire and fell to the floor, and the male victim also collapsed; struck once by the gunfire.
The deputies then entered the apartment, where they found the suspect assaulting a third victim. According to the police statement, the "deputies were able to use physical force to subdue the suspect and end the assault."
Police insisted Winkler fit the description given for the suspect. The suspect, Alexander McDonald, a roommate of one of the victims, was charged with two counts of attempted murder, one count of torture, and one count of murder for the death of Winkler.
The sheriff's department said in a statement that an "Officer-Involved Shooting" is always followed by "multiple independent investigations" when it results in "a wounding." Among the agencies investigating the incident are the Los Angeles district attorney, the county coroner, and multiple LASD bureaus.

Police Abuse Police Los Angeles
It seems to be an established fact that anyone who runs towards the police is going to get shot. I didn't know that they slapped murder charges against the person the victim was running from. That's messed up.
It probably varies by state, but in general if you are committing a violent felony and it gets somebody killed in any way – you will be charged with some sort of murder.

You forgot the disclaimer that says "unless you are a police officer."

The felony murder rule is a tough one to apply. Kill someone fleeing a bank robbery? Sure.
But, I'm not sure it applies when some third party kills someone intentionally, like, by shooting them.
As always, replace the cop with a normal human, and see how it looks. If I intervene in an assault by shooting at the perp (legal defense of others), and I wind up killing some bystander, for example, I'm not sure the perp is going to take the fall for me.
There was a case a year or so ago where a guy was fleeing some cops in a car, I think in New Jersey.
Several miles away, a cop racing to join the pursuit lost control of his squad car and killed someone.
They charged the fugitive with felony murder. And as the law was written, it was kosher.
Yes. While this was doubtless a tragedy, I can't really blame the police here, and the hostage taker should be prosecuted for murder. It was the hostage taker, not the police, that set the stage for this misunderstanding to occur.
In general I'm fine with violent felons being held responsible for the consequences of their clearly criminal actions. What I'm not fine with is anything and everything being declared a felony, and non-violent actions being declared violent.

It's felony-murder. If you commit a felony and it has a predictable risk of death to victims or bystanders, then you can be prosecuted for murdering people who die during your felony.
For example, you hold up a liquor store and somebody dies of a heart attack, which is deemed a predictable risk, therefore you murdered that heart attack victim.
Voros McCracken
But it's obvious what a slippery slope this could be taken to its logical extreme. If someone gets accused of a minor felony that I committed, and they kill themselves before it gets sorted out, am I on the hook for murder? After all if I commit a crime, the police thinking someone else did it is foreseeable. And someone committing suicide rather than face prison is also foreseeable.
If my crime was something absurdly trivial like possession, would that seem fair?
RESISTANCE IS FATAL
Is there a prize if one correctly guesses the outcome of every single one of those multiple "investigations"?
No, but you, as a civilian, get the satisfaction of knowing that all of these officers will go home to their families safely every night.
Brian D
All the officers made it home safely though, right???
Well, this makes hostage negotiations easier. Police just bust in, kill everyone in sight, and then charge the hostage taker for murder with each person, if he survives the barrage of gunfire.
I'm usually on board for a cop bashing, but that's a tough call. A guy chasing a bleeding man who has been kidnapped…
Not really – my call would be to have the half dozen cops on scene chase the motherfucker down and jump on him.
Kinda like they did to the actual assailant.
If the cops had jumped on the guy, beat him up, broke a couple of ribs – that I could excuse. Shitty, but if I was in the dead guy's place, I could understand how that mistake was made.
Or shoot his fucking leg or something. If the guy is so close that you're only option is to resort to discharging your pistol, hitting a leg shouldn't be too hard.
Virginian
Or shoot his fucking leg or something.
Movie bullshit. There is no safe place to shoot someone.
The problem once again comes back to this: cops no longer even pretend that they are there to catch the bullet, to risk themselves for the safety of the community.
They just shoot everything in sight at the first sign of trouble.
They shot the bleeding man as well.
No excuse for that except perhaps terrible marksmanship – which is believable for cops.
Believing Winkler was the assailant and the assault was ongoing and he would attack the entry team
All you need to know.
I'm surprised they didn't kill both fleeing victims.
Victim Winkler was struck by the gunfire and fell to the floor, and the male victim also collapsed; struck once by the gunfire
They did manage to shoot them both. And I'm quite sure that they would have kept shooting the guy with the stab wound had he not collapsed.
This is why that Pittsburgh mass stabbing was so effective. Victims of stabbings know that if you call the police, you'll just get shot. Better to take your chances on a knife wound than a gunshot.
Heroes.
The deputies then entered the apartment, where they found the suspect assaulting a third victim. According to the police statement, the "deputies were able to use physical force to subdue the suspect and end the assault."
So you can end an actual assault without killing someone, but you kill someone who is simply running. I wish I could say I was surprised, but I have read too many of these stories.
So let me see if I have this straight.
The cops *had* to shoot the guy running out of the apartment but were able to physically restrain (and take alive and relatively uninjured) the actual assailant?
good shoot. the officers have a right to their jobs no matter how many innocents they shoot.
in general if you are committing a violent felony and it gets somebody killed in any way
If some cop kills himself en route due to incompetence behind the wheel, it's Death Row.
gimmeasammich
More like Death ROE with a decent rate. Or something. I haven't quite worked this one out yet. The point being that there is one less thug on the street.
If the department account is accurate then the confusion the understandable. But non-lethal force like a stun gun or rubber bullets should have been used.
Instead they went and shot not only the alleged perpetrator but also the one they thought was a victim being chased. What the hell?
Heh, they shot *both* of the running victims.
You know, in situations like this I don't even know why you'd have your guns out in the first place.
You don't *know* what's going on – there's no threat immediately evident. If you've got time to plan an entry, you've got time to get out the beanbag rounds.
Again, its shitty, but if one of the victims had taken a bean-bag round and died from it – that's almost acceptable considering the normal way this shit is handled.
It just boggles my mind that in a situation like this – where you know there are victims and have no idea who or where the assailant is – that you'd resort to shoot first and fuck the questions rather than trying to physically restrain someone who is not posing an obvious threat.
And running towards you (alone) is a real threat only to mall-ninjas – it should be expected that the victims will do this, you're there to *save* them after all.
Fucking heroes should do an hero.
creech
One of these days, they'll be mowing down the kids fleeing from a school where a gunman or knife wielder is reported to be.
Then in that case it will be the police who are the victims for being forced to shoot the children. They'll all get medals and the gunman will get all the blame.
Just like the guy that drunkenly throttles his wife every night. *crack* "See?" *wham* "SEE?!" *thud* "See what you make me do??!!!"
No, the gunman will get a medal too for helping the police.
I've written here that I'd shoot (to kill) the hostages 1st. But even I would do it only while they were still hostages, not after they got away.
Dances-with-Trolls
I think we should start a reform movement that requires police officers to abide by at least the same ROE for deadly force that US soldiers in actual war zones do. Maybe that would get people's attention.
you're there to *save* them after all.
Is that like in the same way that Jesus saves when you die?
Jesus saves *before* you die. After you die its too late, burn in hell you filthy sinner for knowledge defies faith.
Denies.
Apparently in Albaquerque, beanbags are used to check if someone's dead. I also heard that they're pretty good for killing ninety-five-year-old men if you're not up to grappling with them.
No Child Left Behind No Witness Left Alive.
See? It's Bush's fault.
Is this how LA law enforcement training goes?
CIVILIAN! CIVILIAN!
BLAMBLAMBLAM
"He was coming right at me!"
But I have it on good authority that there is no way a cop would ever mistake a white man for an assailant
This is a nice comment.
PixieDust778 Edmund Edmonds ? 38 minutes ago
I'm not trying to troll. White people are a blight. They exterminated the native Americans, enslaved black people,press Hispanics. They control the media, the majority of news casters are white, the majority of managers are white, the majority of academics are white, an the list goes on. Genocide WILL begin to make reparations for what their people have done. Whites aren't going to kill themselves, so someone needs to do it. I understand this position may be taken as extreme, but I truly think it's the only way to make up for a vast history of oppression. To end racism, they need to understand what they have done, and and continue to do, to minorities.
"White people are evil, genocidal, and in control of everything. We should start a race war with them."
The King of Derps.
How does someone that mentally deficient remember to breathe?
Breathing was invented by whites to keep people of color down.
It's way too long to post here, but if you find the comment from Eva about growing up in the Soviet Union, it's worth the read.
That doesn't sound nice, does it? Makes you squirm in your chair a bit and maybe feel a little uncomfortable, right?
Actually no. I'm pretty comfortable with how I am.
But here's the thing ? I'm not here to make you feel comfortable, that's not my job. I'm here to erase the invisibility of the privileges you have that continue to help maintain white supremacy.
Well, actually that's not your job either.
4. White Privilege is living in a world where you are taught that people with your skin tone hold the standard for beauty.
Hah! last time I checked, only a tiny percentage of redhead and brunette hotties could get away with rocking the with skin. The rest of us are expected to have a good bit of tan to our complexion.
13. White Privilege is being able to be articulate and well-spoken without people being surprised.
Oh and this? Yeah this stopped being a thing decades ago.
17. White Privilege is not having your people and their culture appropriated, romanticized or eroticized for the gain and pleasure of other white people.
That's . . . that's amazingly racist. So you're saying this is ok if *other* than white people do it?
18. White Privilege is being able to ignore the consequences of race.
I'm not even completely certain what this means. Its almost gibberish. BUT – white people don't get to ignore race, no matter how much any particular one of us might want to. People like you bring it up *constantly*. Every fucking interaction is judged by you to see if there's some hidden slight intended. Nothing is innocent, its *all* about race and you rub it in our faces every chance you get.
And finally Stacy Sto. Domingo – as a Filipina I'm pretty sure you have no fucking idea that 'white people' aren't one monolithic race/culture. That the way the New Zealanders treat Filipinos is a world of fucking difference from they way we do in the US.
You dear, suffer from 'BSP Privilege'. That's the privilege that Brown Skinned People have to sling racial slurs as part of a systematic dehumanization of entire groups of people who are and have historically been hated just for being alive.
Plus you stupid bitch – don't go on being offended on behalf of shit white americans did to blacks 150 years ago when you are, in no way, involved or affected by the fallout from those events.
You are a fucking 20 year old Filipina who grew up in New Zealand and lives in god-damned *Germany* – what the fuck do *you* know about slavery.
It could have been ketchup. There was this movie one time where the psychokiller disguised himself as one of the victims, and escaped. You cannot be too careful, especially where OFFICER SAFETY is concerned.
AdamJ
Not sure why the LA sheriff dept. still exists. This is the fifth or sixth story if their incompetence and general disrespect for te lives of citizens just this year. They should be disbanded along with the Albuquerque PD.
What? I didn't catch that.
We could always try to make them perxsonally responsible for the consequences of their fuck-ups.
Naah, that's crazy.
RESISTANCE FLEEING IS FATAL
That's better.
The guy they shot and killed was a production assistant for Tosh.0.
Ayn Random Variation
I can't wrap my head around why a gang of guys, trained in hand to hand combat, would feel so threatened by an unarmed guy running at them that their first thought is to start shooting.
Ofcourse, on TV, we always see brave cops using their gun as a last resort.

As you already know, I've been traveling to Europe for more than a month and had a chance to test a lot of new European beauty products. Since I already wrote a dedicated post of French beauty favorites, today I'll be sharing additional makeup goodies that were on my rotation in September and October.
Lancôme Rôses Berberanza Fragrance // When it comes to perfumes, I'm very picky and have only a dozen fragrances that I really adore. This scent is the new addition to my fragrance wardrobe because it smells rosy and reminds me of Paris.
EOS Crystal Lip Balm in Vanilla Orchid // Chapped lips are no bueno and a good lip balm is a must for the cold season. My current favorite is this futuristic clear balm that is formulated with natural oils that hydrate lips and feels weightless.
Urban Decay Naked Skin Shapeshifter in Light Medium // This conveniently packaged contouring kit contains the best of both worlds – cream and powder products you could use to contour, color-correct and highlight.
Guerlain Meteorites Powder // I started using this beautiful handmade powder during fashion week and couldn't stop ever since. It provides the most beautiful, natural-looking coverage and looks so adorable in my beauty room.
Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion Intense SPF 50 // Cushion foundations are perfect for traveling, but this beauty gem goes far beyond being travel-friendly. Formulated with skincare quality ingredients, this product provides not only perfect coverage, but also takes care of your skin throughout the day.
Lipstick Queen Famous Last Words Liquid Lipstick in Sayonara // In my book, this is a perfect shade of pink for fall. Not to mention super comfortable to wear formula and the longevity of wear. Perfection!
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Lips Liquid Lipstick in Walk of Fame // I rarely wear orangey reds, but this has stolen my heart. The velvety formula of this product doesn't feel dry throughout the day which ensures comfortable wear throughout the day.
Sisley Phyto-Sourcils Fix Thickening Brow Gel // It's all about the thin and convenient to use brush that allows even product distribution and long-lasting eyebrow fixation.

Lorenz von Bibra (* 1459 in Mellrichstadt; † 6. Februar 1519 in Würzburg), Herzog in Franken, war Dompropst und von 1495 bis zu seinem Tod 1519 Fürstbischof von Würzburg. Er ist ein Zeitgenosse von Maximilian I. (1493–1519), Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reiches, dem Lorenz auch als Berater diente.

Lorenz im Familienkontext
Lorenz war Familienmitglied der adeligen fränkischen Familie von Bibra. Sein Vater war Hans von Bibra, der im Dienste des Hochstiftes Würzburg als Amtmann in Mellrichstadt eingesetzt war. Dort wurde Lorenz höchstwahrscheinlich auch geboren. Er war der zweite Sohn aus dritter Ehe mit Agnes von Schenkenwald.

Lorenz von Bibra ernannte viele Verwandte von Bibra in wichtige Positionen des Bistums Würzburg. Sein Nachfolger Konrad II. von Thüngen folgte diesem Beispiel in einem noch größeren Umfang. Innerhalb der Familie gab es weitere kirchliche Würdenträger, z. B. Konrad III. von Bibra, ebenfalls Fürstbischof von Würzburg (1540–1544). Der Halbbruder von Lorenz, Wilhelm von Bibra, war päpstlicher Abgesandter. Heinrich von Bibra (1711–1788) war Fürstbischof und Abt in Fulda.

Biografische Daten
Lorenz von Bibra besuchte die Schule des Klosters Vessra und die Universitäten in Heidelberg, Erfurt und Bologna. Lorenz erscheint im Laufe seiner Karriere als Geistlicher im Domkapitel von Mainz, wo er das Vertrauen des Bischofs Berthold von Henneberg genoss und mit verschiedenen Aufgaben betraut wurde, und neben dem Würzburger Domkapitel auch noch im Kölner Domkapitel.

Als Bischof verfasste er 1487 ein Empfehlungsschreiben an Papst Innozenz VIII. für seinen Halbbruder Wilhelm, der an den Vatikan als Gesandter von Erzbischof Hermann IV. von Köln berufen wurde. 1490 erkrankte Wilhelm bei der Rückkehr von Rom als Gesandter von Kaiser Friedrich.

Am 12. Mai 1495 wurde Lorenz von Bibra zum Bischof von Würzburg gewählt. Lorenz war ein beliebter und angesehener Herrscher. Er wurde oft angerufen, um als Schiedsrichter Streitigkeiten zu lösen. Als Anhänger des Humanismus in Deutschland und als Mensch der Renaissance versuchte er, die katholische Kirche zu reformieren. Das Bistum Würzburg erlebte unter seiner Ägide eine finanzielle Blütezeit. 1502 erließ er für das Hochstift eine in lateinischer und deutscher Sprache verfasste Medizinalordnung, die unter anderem das Verhalten von Apothekern und Ärzten sowie die Bezahlung ärztlicher Leistungen regelte.

Bündnispolitisch erneuerte Lorenz wie seine Vorgänger Verträge gegen die Markgrafen von Ansbach aus dem Hause der Hohenzollern. Durch das Bündnis mit den Fürsten von Niederbayern und der Kurpfalz (siehe Haus Wittelsbach) wurde das Hochstift Würzburg in den Landshuter Erbfolgekrieg verwickelt. Nachdem die Pfalzgrafen unterlegen waren, suchte Lorenz einen neuen Bündnispartner und fand diesen 1508 im Kurfürsten Friedrich von Sachsen. Auch der Schwäbische Bund bot sich ihm als Bündnispartner an; Lorenz wies dieses Angebot aber zurück. Er förderte dagegen die Aussöhnung des Kurfürsten der Pfalz, Ludwig V. von der Pfalz und dessen Bruders Friedrich, mit Herzog Ulrich von Württemberg. Damit formierte sich eine Gegenkraft gegen den Schwäbischen Bund, der sogenannte "Kontrabund". Im drohenden Krieg zwischen dem Kontrabund auf der einen Seite und dem Schwäbischen Bund, Nürnberg und Bamberg andererseits versuchte der Kaiser zu vermitteln. Dabei versuchte Markgraf Kasimir einen seiner Brüder zum Koadjutor von Würzburg berufen zu lassen, was einer späteren Übernahme des Bistums den Weg ebnen sollte, womit er sich aber nicht durchsetzen konnte.

Lorenz von Bibra und Martin Luther
Auf der Reise nach Heidelberg traf Luther im April 1518  in Würzburg ein und wurde vom Bischof empfangen. Im Anschluss an dieses Treffen  hatte Lorenz Luther noch seinen Geleitschutz angeboten und ein Empfehlungsschreiben an den Herzog von Sachsen Friedrich den Weisen mit folgender Angabe verfasst, dass seine liebe Exzellenz ja den frommen Mann Doktor Martinus nicht wegziehen lassen wolle, denn ihm geschähe Unrecht. Friedrich gab dies Schreiben an Georg Spalatin weiter. Friedrich der Weise hatte als Kurfürst von Sachsen eine wichtige Stellung im Heiligen Römischen Reich inne; bekanntlich wurde Luthers größter Beschützer und Förderer während der Reformation. Das Schreiben nährte Spekulationen über Lorenz' Sympathien gegenüber der Reformation. Am 6. Februar 1519, also bevor Luthers Streitigkeiten mit der katholischen Kirche aufflammten, starb Bischof Lorenz auf der Feste Marienberg.

Lorenz von Bibra und Riemenschneider

Im Gegensatz zu seinem Nachfolger hatte Lorenz gute Beziehungen zum berühmten Bildhauer Tilman Riemenschneider, der eine Zeitlang auch Bürgermeister von Würzburg war. Lorenz beauftragte ihn mit einer Änderung der neuen Kirche in Bibra. Er beauftragte vor 1519 Riemenschneider auch, für sich und seinen Vorgänger Rudolf II. von Scherenberg jeweils einen Epitaphaltar in der Kathedrale von Würzburg zu fertigen. Lorenz von Bibras Grabmal wurde erst 1522 vollendet. Heute stehen die beiden Grabdenkmäler nebeneinander, aus gleichem Stein und mit gleichem Motiv, aber in zwei verschiedenen Stilen, Spätgotik und Renaissance.

Lorenz von Bibra und Trithemius
Johannes Trithemius (1462–1516) nahm 1506 das Angebot von Lorenz von Bibra an, Abt des Schottenklosters von Würzburg zu werden. Das Wort Steganographie wird von seinem Buch Steganographia abgeleitet, eine Abhandlung über Kryptographie und Steganographie, verkleidet als ein Buch über Schwarze Magie. Sein Buch Polygraphia von 1518 war das erste gedruckte Buch über Kryptographie.

Wappen
Das Wappen des Fürstbischofs ist geviert. Die Felder zwei und drei greifen das Familienwappen der von Bibra auf. Das Wappen zeigt in Gold einen steigenden schwarzen Biber mit roter Zunge und silbergeschupptem Schwanz. Das erste Feld enthält den Fränkischen Rechen für das Bistum Würzburg  und das vierte Feld in Blau ein Rennfähnlein in Rot und Silber für das Herzogtum Franken.

Here's Why Rap Artists Such As Meek Mill, 21 Savage, and Chance the Rapper are All Going After the Supreme Court
Julia Mullaney
Most people see rap and hip-hop music as an art form. But for years, rappers have had to defend their lyrics from the law while other music genres haven't been held to the same standards. Now, after Pittsburgh rapper Jamal "Mayhem Mal" Knox faced jail time for something he said in a song, other well-known rap artists aren't letting the case go down without a fight.
Meek Mill, among other rappers, is going after the Supreme Court. | Shareif Ziyadat/Getty Images
Jamal Knox was first arrested in 2012 over lyrics he included in a rap song
Knox is a rapper out of Pittsburgh who was arrested in 2012 on drug and gun offenses, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Afterward, he wrote a song, "[Expletive] The Police," in response to his arrest. In the song, he named the police officers who were reportedly going to testify against him, and the song contained lines such as, "Let's kill these cops 'cause they don't do us no good." The rap song and video were posted on YouTube, and once the police caught wind of the song, Knox was charged with intimidation of witnesses, terroristic threats and conspiracy.
Now, a brief has been filed with the Supreme Court over whether Knox is being treated fairly
Although Knox was originally arrested back in 2012, a brief was recently filed with the Supreme Court over whether Knox was treated fairly because he's a rap artist. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that Knox was found guilty in a nonjury trial, and the verdict was upheld in the state Supreme Court. Knox reportedly crossed a line that was not protected by his First Amendment rights, but other rappers are coming to his defense, saying that plenty of artists have songs that depict violence yet they're not arrested and jailed.
Well-known rap artists such as Meek Mill, 21 Savage, Chance the Rapper, and Jadakiss are all working with lawyers to support Knox
Rap artists such as Meek Mill, 21 Savage, Chance the Rapper, and Jadakiss have all come together to take on the Supreme Court in an effort to make sure rappers are treated fairly by the law. Jadakiss recently appeared on the morning show Good Day New York to explain that other artists, specifically Johnny Cash, have referenced death and murder in their songs but were never punished. Jadakiss' lawyer went on to explain that it isn't necessarily about getting Knox cleared but rather making sure that all artists are held to the same standards. They feel that the law can't pick and choose who is guilty and who isn't.
Talking #firstamendment and #raplyrics @therealkiss #alexspiro @rocnation #gdny
A post shared by Rosanna Scotto (@rosannascotto) on Mar 18, 2019 at 6:48am PDT
Jadakiss and his lawyer appeared on 'Good Day New York' to discuss the issue.
Unless the Supreme Court intervenes, Knox will have felony charges on his record for the rest of his life
Knox doesn't believe the felony charges against him are fair, since other artists don't deal with the same discrimination. Now, those charges will stay on Knox's record forever unless the Supreme Court intervenes. And this isn't the first time something like this has happened. A high schooler in Mississippi once got in trouble for posting rap lyrics on social media about sexual harassment from two coaches. Rap artists such as T.I., Killer Mike, and Big Boi came to his defense, but the Supreme Court refused to hear the case. It's unclear if the same things will happen, but hip hop stars are hoping for a change.


As we continue interviewing the winners of this year's Patient Voices Contest who will attend our annual Innovation Summit later this year, today we're excited to feature advocate and funny man Chelcie Rice in Atlanta, GA.
Chelcie is a longtime adult-diagnosed type 1 who happens to be a professional comedian, who combines his love for stand-up with a passion for diabetes awareness-raising. He's been quite vocal in the Diabetes Online Community (DOC) lately about the need for more diversity and inclusion of minorities and underserved groups.
Here's what Chelcie has to say about his own experience, and how that relates to our Innovation Summit coming up in November.
DM) First off, tell us how diabetes came into your life...?
CR) I was diagnosed around 1988 when I was 25 years old. Developed symptoms and was hospitalized for maybe four days. Not a great deal of family history of diabetes except for my grandmother who I believe was type 2.
And you do comedy for a living?
Yes, I started performing stand-up in the early 2000s. I've performed at comedy festivals and clubs around the country. I've appeared on Comcast and multiple online programs. I was also a spokesperson for a diabetes supply company back in 2013.
At one point I was helping a friend with fundraising shows and thought I could do the same for diabetes. I eventually started producing shows at local venues for the ADA and the ADA walk. When I'm not doing shows, I bring awareness through comedy online.
How did you first get involved in the Diabetes Online Community (DOC)?
I was introduced to the DOC by (DSMA founder) Cherise Shockley by way of Facebook and the rest is history. I'd like to think I got in on (the DOC) in its infancy and now its reach is worldwide.
What observations do you have about how D-tech has changed over the years?
So many more choices in pumps to the size of meters. Many of the devices we used years ago have been replaced with apps on our phones or tablets that are free.
Which D-tools do you personally use?
My tech is pretty simple. I got my first pump around 2005. I've always used a tube pump. I got my first CGM two years ago and I don't know how I lived without it. I never was much for too many apps because it just gets to be a bit overwhelming.
You've been vocal about the need for more diversity and inclusion in the Diabetes Community on many fronts... can you address that?
It's usually no surprise that certain groups feel alienated if they don't see themselves represented in clubs or organizations. For example, I've been listening to an audiobook where the author says that the book is targeted towards men and women but throughout the book she's always referring to "she or her." So while she says her book is for men and women, she even went so far as to say that a larger percentage of her target audience is female. So nice try, but I'm still not feeling like the book is for me.
The same is true for social media. I can think of two large orgs on Instagram whose feeds I scrolled through recently. I scrolled at least 8 times before I saw a person of color. It's common knowledge that diabetes affects people of color more but these groups apparently have no interest in representing them. Of course there are a slew of excuses, and the claim, 'We don't exclude anyone.' Well you don't include everyone either.
The say, 'We show the people who have sent their pictures to us.' Really? So you just sit back and close your eyes? Not everyone is on social media yet, so maybe as opposed to organizing another walk or bike ride, you can pack a van and go to a Native American reservation and take pics of them while spreading information about the importance of diabetes care.
To me, it's just these groups being lazy and in a way disingenuous.
Where do you think that comes into the conversation on "innovation" for diabetes?
Simple. If people of color aren't represented then those people aren't informed. What sense does it make to be an advocate if you're not attempting to help everyone? There's a level of complacency I see when it comes to inclusion in this country. Just because you think it's easy to obtain internet access or a cell phone doesn't mean it's easy for everyone.
Redlining prevented blacks and Hispanics from having rights to a simple grocery store with fresh food being built in their neighborhood. That's a fact! So it stands to reason that if a child living in a poor neighborhood was raised in the same poor neighborhood as their great-grandparents, where nothing much has improved, they wouldn't have the proper information or tools they need to manage their diabetes.
With the American Diabetes Association now having a black woman at the helm for the first time ever, do you think that will change things on embracing diversity in the diabetes world?
That's up to her, in my opinion. She needs to push her org to be more visible. Just because she's black doesn't mean black people will automatically gravitate towards her. The ADA needs to be more visible in black media, because half the time we never see TV ads for the ADA. They just need to do better.
What do you see as the biggest overall challenge in diabetes right now?
Making insulin and diabetes supplies more affordable and accessible.
What can the diabetes industry do better?
Better marketing and information. Maybe tone down the pharmaceutical ads and spread better information about how to live a fuller life with diabetes. Address the effects of depression while living with diabetes. Make November (National Diabetes Month) mean something. Make a genuine effort to address people of color so they understand how seriously diabetes affects their communities.
What steps do you think advocates should take?
More effort needs to go into getting the information to the patients, especially in lower-income communities. Advocates need to reach more people living with diabetes and encourage them use whatever tools they can to keep these corporations in check. If it comes down to shaming them on social media, then do it. It's 'time out' for this foolishness when the end goal is innovation that just leads to bigger profits.
You mentioned the many people who are not plugged in to social media, who may miss out on a lot. More thoughts there...?
Not everyone is using social media, let alone using it to find help with their chronic illness. There's always been a divide in what people see the Internet and social media as good for. Many people of a certain age don't realize the wealth of support they can find on Facebook, for example. Because they may see it as something for young people who like to waste time.
That's a shame, but we're glad you're involved! What are you most looking forward to at the Innovation Summit?
Addressing my concerns, meeting more advocates I don't know, reconnecting with advocates I do know and coming home with a wealth of information to share.
Thanks, Chelcie! We so appreciate you being a part of the DOC and raising awareness on important issues. Can't wait to see you connecting and learning in person this Fall.

On a Friday afternoon a civil servant hurriedly talks into his phone, making the finishing touches to a framework agreement on a new 'technology park'. It is a legal document that will channel Mauritian investment into a special economic zone (SEZ) outside of the Ghanaian capital, Accra. The following week, the agreement will be approved by the Ghanaian parliament, hence the pressure to finish.
The Mauritius Africa Fund will be familiar to students of recent Asian economic development: a quasi-governmental agency, run as a public company to streamline decision-making, but whose goal is economic-nationalist in scope. While initially it was set up to take small equity positions in Mauritian companies that are investing in Africa, that quickly became tough to manage. The new direction is to first get government-to-government support and then build SEZs into which Mauritian and other companies can settle.
The logic to push Mauritian companies into Africa seems clear. When faced by a declining population and a domestic market unable to keep pace with the ambitions and capital stock of its largest conglomerates, you need to seek a hinterland. When you add a global push to regulate offshore finance hubs, you create the current climate in Mauritius: a search for a toehold in Africa across the board.
That sets up Mauritius, Sithanen argues, to act as a hub for investors who want to take advantage of the continent's growth opportunities but who are wary of getting money stuck in unstable countries. "Investing directly in places like India and Africa is no fun. People realise that," says Sithanen, who also acts as chairman of the Rwanda Development Board. "You need to identify and price the risk".
For Sanjiv Bhasin, the CEO of AfrAsia bank, "the ability to set up special purpose vehicules in Mauritius helps in managing that risk".
Banks like the State Bank of Mauritius say they like the fact that the Mauritian government is giving them back-up at the national level – again, a kind of economic diplomacy that successful Asian developing economies are good at.
Relations with African countries work in other ways too, and South Africa is an obvious target for some projects. Mont Choisy is a property company offering a new development around Grand Baie in the north of the country – a Mauritian residency permit is included in the price of the apartment, which is attractive to some South Africans. "They make up about 40% of the new development," says Jyoti Jeetun, the chief executive of Mont Choisy.

A five-year partnership with Latvian Baptists was approved by the California Southern Baptist Convention Executive Board during its spring meeting May 8.
First Southern Baptist Church in Shafter — the oldest congregation in California Southern Baptist Convention — refuses to become obsolete in their community's changing social climate.
Camille. Hugo. Andrew. 9-11. Katrina. Haiti. Tuscaloosa. Joplin. Sandy. Oklahoma City. Those words often bring to mind disasters; they trigger emotions and memories difficult and poignant. Southern Baptists - including hundreds of Californians - have had a common response to all of them: help.


Kelsea Ballerini Chops Her Long Locks — See Her New 'Do!
Kelsea Ballerini Chops Her Long Locks — See Her New 'Do!
Kelsea Ballerini will head into 2017 with a new look. The blonde beauty recently cut off her signature locks and shared with fans on social media.
"Change is fun. Thanks to my girl Ali and @thedryhousenashville," Ballerini writes alongside an Instagram photo which shows her beaming, chopped locks sitting just on her shoulders.
Ballerini joins the trend of shorter hairstyles on country singers like Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and RaeLynn. A shorter 'do will likely make it a little easier for the singer to get ready for her headlining tour each night. Currently on the road for her first headlining tour, Ballerini's The First Time Tour runs through Dec. 10.
In an interview with Taste of Country at her Atlanta tour stop, Ballerini gushed about finally being the name in the big letters on top of the marquee.
"It's a different kind of energy because you feel like you know the people in the room," she says. "It's this really comfortable feeling because most of the people in the room are people just like me. It's cool to be able to know that going into it because it makes it easier for me to sing my songs in there and know they're going to have fun."
Even more fun for Ballerini is the fans that come to her tour bus night after night to take pictures and chat with her. Now, they'll also be admiring her new hairstyle.
