Revolution in Ukraine? Yes, Please! Revolution in France? Rule of Law!
"Sarcasm aside, it looks very much like violent revolutions and regime change are only a good enough solution to crises in countries far away from the centres of Western power and influence and led by uncooperative governments"
by Danielle Ryan
When violent protests shook Kiev in 2013, Western analysts and leaders quickly threw their support behind the anti-government 'revolution' — but after weeks of Yellow Vest protests in France, the reaction has been very different.
While Western governments and commentators denounced the Ukrainian government of Viktor Yanukovych and urged that he give in to protesters' demands five years ago, this time around, they are denouncing the French protesters and urging President Emmanuel Macron, whose popularity stands at about 25 percent, to stand firm against dissatisfied citizens.
Western media coverage has also differed drastically with reports describing French protesters as rioters, while Ukrainian protesters were described as revolutionaries. The contrasting reaction has prompted many to ask the question: If a so-called revolution is allowed to happen (and even applauded) in Ukraine, why not in France?
French police have cracked down on the 'Yellow Vest' protesters in bloody clashes, during which water cannons and tear gas were deployed to disperse huge crowds, who responded by throwing stones at officers. The extent of the chaos has even caused officials to mull imposing a state of emergency and prompted concerns that protest movement could spread to countries like Germany and the Netherlands. Worried government officials and French and European political commentators have eagerly called for the "rule of law" to be respected and for violent protesters to respect French institutions.
In Kiev, however, when protesters set fire to cars, defaced public property and attacked police officers, they were held up as heroes. Law and order was of little concern to Western media which wholeheartedly supported the Maidan movement. Similarly, when anti-government protests kicked off in Syria in 2011, Western leaders and commentators advocated the swift overthrow of the government and provided moral (and material) support to anti-government rebels during the subsequent civil war that ripped the country apart.
During a visit to Argentina for the G20 Summit last weekend, Macron vowed that he would "not concede anything" to the"thugs" who want "destruction and disorder." His unwillingness to cave in the face of a mass protest movement, however, has not prompted any calls for him to step down and respect the will of the people, as happened in Ukraine and Syria.
On Twitter, well-known French political commentator and media personality Bernard-Henri Lévy, lashed out at the Yellow Vest protesters, accusing them of "playing with fire" and saying that all that matters is respect for French institutions and the democratically -elected president.
Lévy's followers, however, were quick to remind him that his reaction to protests in Ukraine were quite different. Lévy, who was in Ukraine during the Euromaidan movement, actively promoted it, giving speeches and tweeting enthusiastically about the protests. When Yanukovych was overthrown, he described it as a "a historic defeat of tyranny."
As the protests raged on for the third week, other Twitter users mocked the patronizing Western reaction to anti-government movements in other regions, with one suggesting that perhaps hundreds of Arab experts could get together at fancy conferences to attempt to decipher the causes of this fascinating 'European Winter' movement.
Another said it was about time that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called on Macron to exercise "restraint" and ensure that the "freedom of expression and demonstration" are respected in France.
Sarcasm aside, it looks very much like violent revolutions and regime change are only a good enough solution to crises in countries far away from the centres of Western power and influence and led by uncooperative governments. When the rumblings of revolution are felt in Paris, where Macron remains committed to upholding a neoliberal and West-centric world order, it's a different story entirely.

The Opposite of "Trust Us, We Know What We're Doing"
Matt Birchler | 16 Jun 2016 | 4 min read
Apple gets a lot of criticism for forcing users to change their behaviors to fit Apple's view of the world. The company routinely removes hardware features before the rest of the industry and they create software platforms that tend to give you fewer options, but Apple's entire pitch is that they have taken the time to make the right choices so you don't have to. The "it just works" campaign was born out of an industry that allowed infinite choice and little clarity. "It just works" doesn't mean that every feature works 100% of the time1, it means that you don't have to think about how something gets done, you just do it.
One of the side effects of this is that it sometimes seems Apple thinks they know better than us. Don't worry about why this isn't how you think it should be because Apple knows best. I think there is something to be said for a company taking this stance, but 2016 looks like a year where Apple flipped the expectation and took the feedback they were getting from their users to heart.
Every new watchOS 3 feature is a response to feedback
"This is the version of X that Y should have released in the first place" may be the dumbest thing you can say in tech criticism, but we're hearing a lot of that in regards to what Apple did with the Apple Watch at WWDC. watchOS 3 is all about being faster than ever before (like, a lot effing faster), fixing the side button that no one used, fixing Glances (by killing them and replacing them with The Dock), and making Activity and Workouts a much bigger part of the overall experience.
watchOS 1 was a solid foundation with a lot of problems. Apple didn't know these were problems until they got the product in millions of people's…wrists…and saw how they used it day to day. After 14 months of user feedback to go on, the updates to watchOS show a company who is acutely aware of how people use their product and what to work on to make it even better.
The new lock screen and widgets disrupt the iPhone home screen
People have been asking Apple to do something to the home screen for years. Android has had a widget system since nearly the beginning, and Apple has never gone down that path. They've given us better notifications and a Today View to try and give us a way to interact with our information that doesn't involve the home screen, but those have never really taken off2 as an alternative to jumping into one app after the other.
The widgets system, rich notifications, and brand new lock screen introduced in iOS 10 mix up this interaction model in a big way. And while this is not exactly what people were asking for, it's definitely a response to the feedback they've been getting. It's hard to explain here, but spending 48 hours with iOS 10 on my iPhone has completely changed how many of my interactions with the phone go.
I used to see I had a notification, unlock my phone, open the app, and act on it. Now I lift my phone (the screen turns on automatically), press firmly on a notification, and I'm presented with a pared down version of the app that has the relevant content displayed so I can act on it. The biggest use so far has been for replying to iMessages in the beta, but the power third party apps will be able to get from this will be huge.
I'm acting on things as they come in, not by navigating a home screen and launching an app, but by removing the idea of even opening an app entirely. It's pretty cool.
Who needs a dark mode for their TV? Oh, everyone!
White user interfaces look good on a 4 inch phone, they look good on a 10 inch iPad, and they even look good on a 27 inch Mac. tvOS looks gorgeous, but hot damn is it bright on a 40+ inch screen!
While Apple has refrained from adding a dark mode to all their other operating systems, they budged on this one. I guess that many bleeding irises is hard to argue against.
iMessage iMessage iMessage!
Apple is advertising 24 new features on their iOS 10 preview page, and 9 of them are iMessage features. When 38% of your advertised features of a major OS update are about the chat app built in, you know they're taking chat pretty serious.
Maybe it's that services like Snapchat are eating into Apple's market more than before, but something in messaging has Apple's attention that they're willing to devote so much time, effort, and marketing material to their chat app. iMessage needs to do more, and based on what they added, it's pretty clear Apple is paying attention to what their competitors are doing and tried to one up them in every way.
All the other little things
And then there's all the other little stuff that Apple did, like adding Google Photos-like features to their own Photos service, bringing Siri to the Mac, creating a Siri API, redesigning Apple Music almost from the ground up, allowing people to "uninstall" default apps, and a whole mess of other things, Apple was clearly ticking off things that the community has been asking for.
Apple absolutely gets fairly criticized for doing what they want, so it's important to remember when they actually listen to their users and do exactly what they're asking them to do. I love the "trust us, we know what we're doing" Apple, but it's great to see this other side of the company as well.
Although that was a part of it too. ↩
I think interactive notifications in iOS 6 were a revelation, and one that Android is just now getting. ↩

No. It's tempting to get a little crazy this time of year…

State's COVID-19 Positivity Rate Hits 6.5%, Hospitalizations Climb
By Thea DiGiammerino	• Published December 2, 2021 • Updated on December 2, 2021 at 11:32 pm
The state's COVID-19 test positivity rate came in at 6.52% Thursday, another high not seen in months. The last time Connecticut's positivity rate reached 6% was in January.
There were 24,940 new tests reported, of which 1,627 came back positive.
Hospitalizations also continue to climb, reaching 414, a net increase of 29 from the day before.
There were 44 new deaths reported. Note that the state reports COVID-19 related deaths once a week on Thursdays. To date, Connecticut has seen 8,909 deaths related to the virus.
According to the state, around 78% of hospitalized patients are unvaccinated. State data suggests that unvaccinated people are five times more likely to get COVID-19, at 33 times higher risk to die from the virus and 11 times higher risk of being hospitalized.
The worrying increase in numbers comes as the world watches developments from the omicron variant, which was first detected by scientists in South Africa and has since been found in countries around the globe, including two cases in the U.S.
Public health officials continue to urge residents to get a COVID-19 vaccine and booster shots to protect against the spread during the busy holiday season.

Moving into a care home, is for many people, a life-changing event, and not something to be taken too lightly if you have no experience of moving around too much in the past. The task of choosing the best care home for yourself or for a loved one can be a difficult, stressful and time consuming task. But, locating a suitable place is however highly important and there are some things that you should look out for before you are totally committed to your choice.
For somebody who may have been living independently for most of their life and in their own home, the adjustment to living in a care home can come as a real shock and something which we ourselves may have to face one day. It could be the case that there is no alternative, simply because it would be unsafe or unworkable to remain at home any longer – and in the long run, for a number of people, there will even be a sense of relief, that they no longer have any concerns about preparing their own meals, or what to do if they are in need of any assistance during the night.
It's a great idea to start by looking out for quality care homes in locations that you find suitable and not so far away from family and friends, and with reliable transport links. Once you have made up a shortlist of those that look promising, you can then begin finding out as much information as possible about each of them. If you're seeking the perfect residential home in Buckinghamshire, ensure that it is not only first class, but top quality to match.
One thing which we all know, but most seldom listen to, is good old fashioned intuition. You will just know immediately if a place is right for you as soon as you wander in through the front door. For others, they will know as soon as they first see and approach a place.
After that, are you made welcome? If you've made an appointment, there should be somebody there to make you feel at home right away. England being England, there should also be the offer of a cup of tea or coffee immediately available! After all, a welcome is a welcome!
Before you go, it is a good idea to make a list of questions, and please don't be shy to ask them! A walk around the home should also help to answer any questions regarding the standard of the rooms and what they contain. And you should also want to check out the food, especially if the senior citizen has any particular dietary requirements.
Hope that helps and may your search for the perfect care home work out just fine! Good luck!

Md. teachers finding hungry kids in their classes

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, left, and Tom Nelson, president of Share Our Strength
By Tricia McCarter-Joseph
Public school teachers in Maryland say they are seeing students who regularly come to school hungry and some teachers purchase food weekly for these students.
A new report finds that 63% of Maryland teachers surveyed say children are not getting enough to eat at home and this is having a negative effect on students' academic performance.
In a panel discussion at Northwestern High School in Hyattsville, Education Secretary Arne Duncan, Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker and Prince George's County Board of Education Chair Verjeana Jacobs joined other federal and state panelists to announce the findings of a survey of over 1,000 public school teachers who teach from kindergarten to 8th Grade.
In partnership with Share Our Strength, a nonprofit organization advocating against hunger in schools nationwide, the discussion focused on raising awareness of state food programs available in schools across Maryland.
No jurisdictions are hunger free
"We don't have a single jurisdiction [in the state] that's hunger free," said Anne Sheridan, director of the Maryland campaign for Share Our Strength.
CORRECTED: According to the Maryland State Department of Education website, about 368,000 school children were enrolled in programs for free or reduced-priced food for the 2011-2012 school year.
Finance officials who oversee these programs at the education department estimate its value at $241 million and project a slightly increased figure for the upcoming school year.
In addition, in the 12 months ending in March, 17,000 new kids were added to the School Breakfast Program, part of a state partnership called the First-Class Breakfast Initiative to end childhood hunger.
Not reaching enough children
But the teacher survey, called the No Kid Hungry Campaign, also found that programs were not reaching enough needy children and families. Of the nationwide 20 million eligible kids only 9.8 million were served last year.
"We have to be moved by these findings. It is a very real experience that [people] are facing everyday," said Sheridan who also believes that in order to reach the goal of providing for more children, more attention needs to be paid to the teachers who see them everyday.
Overcoming stigma
The deputy under secretary for food, nutrition and consumer affairs in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Janey Thornton, expressed concern regarding coming up with creative ways to get kids to participate in the programs by making it "cool" especially for high school kids.
Survey data showed that some kids do not want be singled out as poor by eating in the cafeteria and will forgo eating to socialize with friends. In response schools have implemented Grab N' Go meals and Breakfast in the Classroom.
However, some parents are taking advantage of the programs. Panelist Lareese Cathey whose daughter participates in the breakfast program at Graysonville Elementary School.
"It's very rewarding for us as parents to step up and make sure the needs are being met for our children," Cathey said.

What Can One Say about the 616 PAC?
It's hard to know what to say about the 616 PAC. Bill Jackson who runs it seems remarkably lackadaisical about following the law. My complaint, evidenced in earlier posts, is still outstanding. I've talked with the Michigan Department of Elections staff, who inform me that he simply doesn't respond to their requests.
Meanwhile, he also doesn't believe in filing the necessary reports. Recently he received a second notice with a $250 penalty for failing to file timely reports.
The whole electronic paper trail is available on the state Department of Elections site.
I shall report on any future developments.
Eight months later than originally announced, the new Grand Rapids Township website is finally up. Jan Holst has the details in a Cadence article.
It is an improvement over the previous version, but so far the changes are largely cosmetic. For example, the agendas and minutes are still so lacking in detail as to be useless. Take a look at the website for neighboring Cascade Township. The full documents township boards and commissions will consider are available on-line before the meetings. I hope that once the Grand Rapids Township staff gets used to the new site, they will take the simple steps that will help citizens know what is going on.
I got rather soundly trounced in August primary for Grand Rapids Township trustee. The four incumbents were supported by the 616 PAC, a political action committee that is rather loose in meeting the requirements of the Michigan Campaign Finance Law. PACs are required to file financial reports. The material for the 616 PAC is available here.
Although the PAC spent significant sums to elect the seven incumbents, the original required July and October financial statements showed no contributions and no expenditures, a rather surprising situation.
I asked the 616 PAC treasurer Bill Jackson for an explanation. He never replied, but some weeks later amended statements were filed showing both significant contributions and expenses. These are available on the Secretary of State website linked to above.
The reports show that all but one of the existing trustees contributed to fund their re-election, a quite reasonable thing to do assuming they are supporting a PAC that follows the law. Trustees David VanDyke and Robert Roth each contributed $3,000 to the 616 PAC. Lee VanPopering and Michael DeVries gave $500. Chris Afendoulis and Edward Robinette (whose name is misspelled in the report) gave $250. Rusty Merchant is the only trustee who apparently did not contribute.
If I understand the Michigan campaign finance law correctly (and I may be wrong), the 616 PAC was limited to $2000 to support the four incumbents. It spent $7500. I've asked for more details, which I will post here if I get them, but it looks to me as if the 616 PAC violated Michigan law in financing the campaign to re-elect the incumbent trustees.

Q: How can i test a component with setProps() of enzyme //in my component i have

{this.props.auth.isLoadding &&

Is registring...

}

//in my test i have

it('should start a new component with set props', () => {
const props = {
    auth: {
        isAuth: false,
        isLoadding: false
    }
}
    const wrapper = shallow(<ScreensCreateAccount {...props}/>)

    wrapper.setProps({isLoadding: true})
    //here is code for testing if
...
 appeared. how can i do this?
})

my component starts with this.props.auth.isLoadding = false, and when a change it for true, the html too change, adding
Is registring...
. How can i test it using shallow from enzyme?

A: Here is a working example that sticks to your code : https://codesandbox.io/s/r7owz8mykm
In your code you just forgot the auth level in your json for the prop isLoading.
{isLoadding: true}, instead of {auth: {isLoadding: true} }
But be aware that shallow rendering and enzyme may not be the right tool for testing your React component. I used it a bit but now I use react-testing-library : https://github.com/kentcdodds/react-testing-library and I am definitively happy with that. My tests are now more high level and interact with my components like a real user will do. I can refactor my component without breaking my tests, with enzyme it is, well, not so easy to write this kind of tests.
I really encourage you to at least read this and make your own opinion.
https://blog.kentcdodds.com/why-i-never-use-shallow-rendering-c08851a68bb7
If you already have some tests with enzyme no problem, you can use both libraries in the same project.


A meeting of all DUNE developers was held on 27. and 28. of February 2008 at the Freie Universität Berlin. The main issue was an evaluation and revision of the grid interface. A list of projected changes to the interface can be found in the meeting minutes. We also decided to have three new core modules: dune-shapefunctions, dune-functions, and dune-grid-dev-howto. These will appear soon.

HomeInterviewsJennifer George - Scottish Ladies' Road Champion 2019
InterviewsWomen's Racing
Jennifer George – Scottish Ladies' Road Champion 2019
"I'd love to show my National Champions jersey off in Scotland but there's only one more race I can ride, this season north of the border."
Whilst we reported the men's race, VeloVeritas didn't make it up to Alyth in time for the Scottish Ladies Road race Championship on Saturday – 'real life' stuff got in the way. Sorry ladies. But we did catch up with winner for the second year, Jennifer George (Torelli-Assure-Madison) a day or two after the race; here's what she had to say to us.
Photo©British Cycling
Congratulations, Jennifer – can we start by asking you the basics, how old are you, where are you from and what do you do for a living?
"I'm 36 years-old, born in Glasgow, grew up in Darvel in Ayrshire and now live in South East London.
"I own a coaching company, Go Faster Training Limited; I'm a BC level three road race and time trial coach; I do work with Technogym the fitness equipment company and I'm also a personal trainer."
How did you get 'into' cycling?
"I've always been into sport, I have a BSc Hon. in Physiology and Sports Science.
"I was into horse riding when I lived in Darvel but when I moved to London that was curtailed – it's not like you can take the ponies up the stairs to the flat!
"When I moved to London I started to commute on the bike because it's the best way to get around.
"One thing lead to another and I joined a cycling club.
"And I did do a wee bit of triathlon but I'm not a great swimmer.
"In the cycling club they were always at me to race, the club secretary took me to a race in 2013 and it all started from there."

Tell us about your win in the championship.
"There were 10 of us coming in to the finish and on that last tight turn where it kicked up to the dam I attacked, taking Anna Shackley (Edinburgh Road Club, eventual second, ed.) and Beth Harley-Jepson (Team 22, eventual third, ed.) with me.
"Anna attacked, I caught her but she just keep going, which was fine by me!
"The finish straight was pan-flat and dead straight along the top of the Backwater Reservoir dam which suited me perfectly and I won the sprint."
What did you think of the course?
"I wouldn't have minded the race being longer, we did five laps of the circuit round Loch Lintrathen whilst the men did an additional two laps around Mount Blair.
"There were two climbs on the circuit, one was into the wind but most of the attacks came on the second climb which curved around the hillside – then it was very fast down off there."
How have the other results been this year?
"I've had a couple of good international results, I was 21st in the GP Cham-Hagendorn in Switzerland in May, that's UCI 1.2; then ninth in the GP Cycliste de Gatineau in Canada in June, that one is UCI 1.1, so I picked up UCI points there."
Tell us about your team.
"We have good sponsorship but ride our own bikes, it's an international team with riders from Denmark, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Ukraine and we have a good race programme.
"Next month we have a two day stage race in Northern France for example."
And you have the Women's Tour of Scotland coming up?
"Yes, I'm very excited about that one, I'm riding on the Scottish National team which is great.
"It's a beautiful route, Stage One is Dundee to Dunfermline, Stage two is Glasgow to Perth and Stage three is a loop down round the Borders, starting and finishing in Edinburgh with finish laps around Arthur's Seat."
Do you ride time trials at all?
"The Thursday before the National Road Race I rode the Ayr Roads '10' – I'm a member of the club and also a member of Dulwich Paragon in London – and was fastest in that on a tough night, I did 22:32 but have a personal of low 21 minutes.
"And I was top 20 in the British Time Trial Championship in June."
Are you an 'equipment girl' or do you just ride what you're given?
"I pretty much ride what I'm given, my Cervélo S3 is five years old now and everything that's on it is there for a reason.
"I really love nice bikes – albeit I'm not into discs – but I do have electric gears, the reason being that the cable routing on my model of Cervelo is pretty tortuous and I was breaking rear gear cables – it's not fun being left with two gears on a regular basis!"

the director's failure to prevent the company incurring the debt was dishonest (section 588G(3)).
that the debt was wholly or partly unsecured when the loss or damage was suffered.
The question whether the company is insolvent is a question of fact to be ascertained from a consideration of the company's financial position taken as a whole. It will generally be considered solvent if it is able to pay all its debts as and when they become due and payable or within a relatively short time. It would be acceptable for this purpose that the company's assets are readily available to be converted to cash to pay debts. The company's ability to borrow on the security of its own assets is a significant consideration to find solvency as well as the willingness of the company's secured creditors to continue lending despite temporary financial difficulties.
selling assets at an undervalue in order to obtain access to cash to pay bills, etc.
that at the time the debt was incurred, the director had reasonable grounds to expect, and did expect, that the company was solvent and would remain so and that the director made the necessary inquiries to inform themselves of the company's financial affairs.
that at the time when the debt was incurred, the director had reasonable grounds to believe and believed that a competent and reliable person was responsible for providing the director with adequate information about the company's solvency and that this other person was fulfilling their responsibility. Must also show that the director expected on the basis of the information provided by that other person, that the company was solvent and would remain so even if the debt was incurred. The director is not required to prove that the other person was actually competent and reliable, but only that he or she did not distrust that person.
that because of a serious illness or some other good reason, he or she did not take part in the management of the company at the time the debt was incurred. "Good reason" may be established where an alternate director, who acts only when a regular director cannot do so, is not acting as a director when the debt is incurred and if a director goes overseas and requests another director to be appointed in their place.
that the director took all reasonable steps to prevent the company from incurring the relevant debt.
or relief is alternatively granted under sections 1317S or 1318 by virtue of which the court may relieve a director, in whole or in part, from civil liability, where the director acted honestly and, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, the director ought fairly to be excused.

Cut war budget for Green New Deal
Meetin time and Call Congress
Affiliated with www.peaceaction.org
Connecting the Dots: Iran, China, and the Challenge to U.S. Hegemony:
https://youtu.be/Yw0-ASR4sr8
This is our reply to the 4 Democratic Maryland Congress members who signed an AIPAC letter to Antony Blinken supporting Trump's warlike plan for Iran. They are Reps. Anthony Brown, Kweisi Mfume, Dutch Ruppersberger and David Trone. Senator Cardin signed a similar letter.
The letter that you signed on March 9, which may result in a disastrous war with Iran, was based on several inaccuracies and assumptions, which I hope to clarify below. I include your letter here for your convenience:
https://anthonybrown.house.gov/uploadedfiles/brown-waltz_-_bipartisan_letter_on_iran_-_2021.03.09.0900.pdf
I analyze the seven paragraphs of the letter as follows:
1st Paragraph: "threats that Iran poses to the region."
Unlike the U.S., which has invaded country after country which had nothing to do with 9/11, Iran has invaded no one in over 200 years.
2nd Pgph: "Following the decertification of the JCPOA, Iran violated the previously agreed upon restrictions on refining fissile material and stated that it was no longer bound by any of its limits."
If one party breaks a contract, how can they demand the other party maintain the terms of the contract? Obama's Iran Deal should be reinstated immediately.
3rd Pgph: "malign behavior. Three core tenets - their nuclear program, their ballistic missile program, and their funding of terrorism"
Iran has no nuclear weapons program, as certified by the IAEA inspectors and parties to the JCPOA, except by the US which unilaterally broke the agreement. All countries have defensive missiles, which are legal and not malign. Iran does not fund terrorism but is legally invited to defend neighbors who are illegally attacked and invaded by the U.S., resulting in the deaths of millions. Iran is defensive.
4th Pgph: "Iran must never be able to acquire nuclear weapons."
That is precisely why the US should reinstate the JCPOA Iran Deal, to which Iran has adhered along with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which the US and Israel have not adhered to. One of the provisions of the NNPT is for nuclear disarmament by the nuclear powers. The US and Israel are violators, not Iran.
5th pgph: "ensure that Iran cannot develop a nuclear-capable ballistic missile."
Since Iran has no nuclear weapons and the JCPOA enforced that, missiles are not a nuclear threat to anyone, especially to Israel, which has 200 nuclear warheads and has been occupying Palestine for 40 years in violation of UN Resolutions.
6th pgph: "Iran backed forces in Iraq that have targeted American troops and worked to undermine the Iraqi government."
The U.S. undermines the Iraqi government because Iraq has asked American troops to leave. Unwanted occupying troops should get out. Abraham Lincoln said the same thing to U.S. President Polk when he falsely claimed Americans died on U.S. soil so Polk could steal Texas from Mexico to increase the number of slave states. U.S. troops died where they should not have been.
7th pgph: "we are united in preventing an Iranian nuclear weapon."
If you want to prevent an Iranian nuclear weapon, you should support Obama's JCPOA Iran Deal which does exactly that. Why are Democrats supporting Trump's war-prone plan instead? I urge you to ask President Biden to reinstate President Obama's Iran deal ASAP.
WE WANT CONGRESS TO PASS THIS RESOLUTION:
Nuclear Posture Review and Congressional Resolution
WHEREAS the Nuclear Posture Review may recommend new nuclear weapons; and
WHEREAS a nuclear war can occur by miscalculation, mistake, upon perceived grave threat or by first-strike calculation; and
WHEREAS a nuclear holocaust will end civilization, kill billions of people, and destroy the biosphere of all living things; and
WHEREAS even a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan could create a nuclear winter, killing crops worldwide, starving billions of people and contaminating the earth with long-lived radioisotopes; and
WHEREAS other existential threats to humanity can be reduced by transferring the nuclear weapons budget to climate and disease solutions;

Angst over China, Russia lessens chance of US nuke changes

This article from the Associated Press could have been written by the nuclear industry profiteers, not by think tanks (says Richard Ochs), because I draw the exact opposite conclusion. It is precisely because of such international tensions that we absolutely need nuclear disarmament.
If two kids in the hood are about to have a fisticuffs, is it smart to arm them with maximum firepower? The advice that city halls are giving nowadays to reduce police brutality and riots is conflict de-escalation, including not threatening excessive force. Why would this philosophy not apply on the international level where the actual existence of humanity is at stake?
The smart response to perceived nuclear or conventional escalation is not to depend on unusable weapons. The smart response to perceived or threatened aggression by alleged enemies is to offer a nuclear disarmament agreement. How are nuclear weapons supposed to stop a Russian occupation of a former territory or Chinese policing one of their provinces?
The perfect time to offer a pact for nuclear disarmament is during a crisis, when the dangers are most apparent, not the opposite. The Chinese word for crisis is opportunity. Would the West be that smart or is the AP owned by stockholders in arms?

Hello from us here at mathsbank and welcome back to a new academic year. Here's hoping we can help make your journey as smooth and successful as possible.
No doubt you have heard about the proposed changes to the education system in England and Wales. Like a keen new teacher, our new education secretary Michael Gove seems determined to make his authority felt early. Last month we talked about his proposed changes to A-Levels. But his ambitions go further than that - he wants to bring change to the entire schooling system and the way it is organised and funded. But will his plans for Free Schools ever come to fruition?
All of which is discussed over at the mathsbank blog .
The latest articles include a look at the prospects for the Free School.


How to cope when the world overwhelms you.
and find they are quickly overwhelmed by noise and confusion, crowded parties, hectic office life………….
this is the book to help them understand themselves and how best to cope in various situations.
Highly sensitive people are often very bright and creative but many suffer from low self esteem. They are not 'neurotics' as they have been labelled for so long. However, high sensitivity can lead them to cease to engage with the outside world.
The book offers solutions for a happy and fulfilling life. Particularly in the way an HSP perceives his or herself: the book helps to 'reframe' past events, such as a difficult childhood, or how they see themselves – ie. shy.
Particularly strong material for those raising a sensitive child.
Echoes from the past? And how about this well-meaning warning: "You're just too sensitive for your own good."
If you were like me, you heard a lot of that, and it made you feel there must be something very different about you. I was convinced that I had a fatal flaw that I had to hide and that doomed me to a second-rate life. I thought there was something wrong with me.
In fact, there is something very right with you and me. If you answer true to fourteen or more of the questions on the self-test at the end of this preface, or if the detailed description in chapter 1 seems to fit you (really the best test), then you are a very special type of human being, a highly sensitive person--which hereafter we'll call an HSP. And this book is just for you.
Having a sensitive nervous system is normal, a basically neutral trait. You probably inherited it. It occurs in about 15-20 percent of the population. It means you are aware of subtleties in your surroundings, a great advantage in many situations. It also means you are more easily overwhelmed when you have been out in a highly stimulating environment for too long, bombarded by sights and sounds until you are exhausted in a nervous-system sort of way. Thus, being sensitive has both advantages and disadvantages.
In our culture, however, possessing this trait is not considered ideal and that fact probably has had a major impact on you. Well-meaning parents and teachers probably tried to help you "overcome" it, as if it were a defect. Other children were not always as nice about it. As an adult, it has probably been harder to find the right career and relationships and generally to feel self-worth and self-confidence.
This book provides basic, detailed information you need about your trait, data that exist nowhere else. It is the product of five years of research, in-depth interviews, clinical experience, courses and individual consultations with hundreds of HSPs, and careful reading between the lines of what psychology has already learned about the trait but does not realize it knows. In the first three chapters you will learn all the basic facts about your trait and how to handle overstimulation and overarousal of your nervous system.
Next, this book considers the impact of your sensitivity on your personal history, career, relationships, and inner life. It focuses on the advantages you may not have thought of, plus it gives advice about typical problems some HSPs face, such as shyness or difficulty finding the right sort of work.
It is quite a journey we'll take. Most of the HSPs I've helped with the information that is in this book have told me that it has dramatically changed their lives--and they've told me to tell you that.
I have found that HSPs benefit from a fourfold approach, which the chapters in this book will follow.
1. Self-knowledge. You have to understand what it means to be an HSP. Thoroughly. And how it fits with your other traits and how your society's negative attitude has affected you. Then you need to know your sensitive body very well. No more ignoring your body because it seems too uncooperative or weak.
2. Reframing. You must actively reframe much of your past in the light of knowing you came into the world highly sensitive. So many of your "failures" were inevitable because neither you nor your parents and teachers, friends and colleagues, understood you. Reframing how you experienced your past can lead to solid self-esteem, and self-esteem is especially important for HSPs, for it decreases our overarousal in new (and therefore highly stimulating) situations.
Reframing is not automatic, however. That is why I include "activities" at the end of each chapter that often involve it.
3. Healing. If you have not yet done so, you must begin to heal the deeper wounds. You were very sensitive as a child; family and school problems, childhood illnesses, and the like all affected you more than others. Furthermore, you were different from other kids and almost surely suffered for that.
HSPs especially, sensing the intense feelings that must arise, may hold back from the inner work necessary to heal the wounds from the past. Caution and slowness are justified. But you will cheat yourself if you delay.
4. Help With Feeling Okay When Out in the World and Learning When to Be Less Out. You can be, should be, and need to be involved in the world. It truly needs you. But you have to be skilled at avoiding overdoing or underdoing it. This book, free of the confusing messages from a less sensitive culture, is about discovering that way.
I will also teach you about your trait's effect on your close relationships. And I'll discuss psychotherapy and HSPs--which HSPs should be in therapy and why, what kind, with whom, and especially how therapy differs for HSPs. Then I'll consider HSPs and medical care, including plenty of information on medications like Prozac, often taken by HSPs. At the end of this book we will savor our rich inner life.
As knowledge about my trait changed my life, I decided to read more about it, but there was almost nothing available. I thought the closest topic might be introversion. The psychiatrist Carl Jung wrote very wisely on the subject, calling it a tendency to turn inward. The work of Jung, himself an HSP, has been a major help to me, but the more scientific work on introversion was focused on introverts not being sociable, and it was that idea which made me wonder if introversion and sensitivity were being wrongly equated.
With so little information to go on, I decided to put a notice in a newsletter that went to the staff of the university where I was teaching at the time. I asked to interview anyone who felt they were highly sensitive to stimulation, introverted, or quick to react emotionally. Soon I had more volunteers than I needed.
Based on the interviews (forty for two to three hours each), I designed a questionnaire that I have distributed to thousands all over North America. And I directed a random-dialing telephone survey of three hundred people as well. The point that matters for you is that everything in this book is based on solid research, my own or that of others. Or I am speaking from my repeated observations of HSPs, from my courses, conversations, individual consultations, and psychotherapy with them. These opportunities to explore the personal lives of HSPs have numbered in the thousands. Even so, I will say "probably" and "maybe" more than you are used to in books for the general reader, but I think HSPs appreciate that.
Deciding to do all of this research, writing, and teaching has made me a kind of pioneer. But that, too, is part of being an HSP. We are often the first ones to see what needs to be done. As our confidence in our virtues grows, perhaps more and more of us will speak up--in our sensitive way.
1. Again, I address the reader as an HSP, but this book is written equally for someone seeking to understand HSPs, whether as a friend, relative, advisor, employer, educator, or health professional.
2. This book involves seeing yourself as having a trait common to many. That is, it labels you. The advantages are that you can feel normal and benefit from the experience and research of others. But any label misses your uniqueness. HSPs are each utterly different, even with their common trait. Please remind yourself of that as you proceed.
3. While you are reading this book, you will probably see everything in your life in light of being highly sensitive. That is to be expected. In fact, it is exactly the idea. Total immersion helps with learning any new language, including a new way of talking about yourself. If others feel a little concerned, left out, or annoyed, ask for their patience. There will come a day when the concept will settle in and you'll be talking about it less.
4. This book includes some activities which I have found useful for HSPs. But I'm not going to say that you must do them if you want to gain anything from this book. Trust your HSP intuition and do what feels right.
5. Any of the activities could bring up strong feelings. If that happens, I do urge you to seek professional help. If you are now in therapy, this book should fit well with your work there. The ideas here might even shorten the time you will need therapy as you envision a new ideal self--not the culture's ideal but your own, someone you can be and maybe already are. But remember that this book does not substitute for a good therapist when things get intense or confusing.
This is an exciting moment for me as I imagine you turning the page and entering into this new world of mine, of yours, of ours. After thinking for so long that you might be the only one, it is nice to have company, isn't it?
Answer each question according to the way you feel. Answer true if it is at least somewhat true for you. Answer false if it is not very true or not at all true for you.
I am easily overwhelmed by things like bright lights, strong smells, coarse fabrics, or sirens close by.
I have a rich, complex inner life.
When I must compete or be observed while performing a task, I become so nervous or shaky that I do much worse than I would otherwise.
If you answered true to twelve or more of the questions, you're probably highly sensitive.
But frankly, no psychological test is so accurate that you should base your life on it. If only one or two questions are true of you but they are extremely true, you might also be justified in calling yourself highly sensitive. The rest of this book will help you understand yourself better and learn to thrive in today's not-so-sensitive world.

J. Cole's Dreamville imprint grew more important to the South when EarthGang was initiated into the coveted label. When they dropped their first EP Rags back in September, Johnny Venus and Doctur Dot asserted that the project is the first of a trilogy of connected EPs that will translate into a full-length concept album. Now, the Atlanta duo is back with part two entitled ROBOTS.
ROBOTS contains six brand new tracks including their stand out single "Underwater" featuring TDE's SiR. The second installment of the trilogy can only hold us down for so long, but no worries. Expect the third and final portion of the trilogy Royalty coming before the end of 2017.
For now, turn up to EarthGang's ROBOTS EP below.


With gas prices on the rise across the country and around the world, automotive manufacturers are retooling their vehicles to perform better. How far are some auto manufacturers willing to go to stretch a gallon of gas?
The 2011 New York International Auto Show rolls into town this year with more fuel-efficient vehicles across the market, giving buyers an array of choices to choose from. Whether it is a turbo diesel SUV or an electric hybrid sedan, they are trying to offer something for everyone at this year's show.
Here are some highlights from this year's New York International Auto Show (NYIAS).


Vauen have produced a range of top quality Shire pipes following the success of their Lord of the Rings range a few years ago. Although these pipes are not called The Hobbit, they have been meticulously designed to reflect the pipes smoked by the characters, such as Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf, in the famous J R R Tolkien story about hobbits, wizards, rings, dragons, dwarves, elves and magic both good and bad. The Shire is translated as Auenland in German, thus the Germanic name, along with the pipe names: Friddo, Gilg, Hugg, Eron, Clodo, Doran, Balbor & Siman which are also Medieval Germanic. They will be a very popular range in years to come. Presented with a felt bag and designer box.
Image: SIMAN pipe available in both a smooth and sandblast finish. The latest addition to this wonderful range of 9mm filter pipes.
Image: BALBOR pipe in presentation box.
All pipes in the Auenland 'The Shire' range are available in a smooth and sandblast finish.
Further models available in 'The Shire' range on our website along with special pipe stand.
once again 1st class service my tobacco selection is excellent fresh and very pleasant aroma and taste simply the best all round WELL DONE CAREYS.

Because of their light weight, chemical resistance, and self-lubricating properties, polymers are used in applications ranging from biomedical to aerospace. Some polymers exhibit significant differences in wear resistancebased on whether they are in unidirectional or multidirectional sliding. Shear induced polymer chain orientation is believed to be responsible for this behavior. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has excellent wear resistance, but its multidirectional sliding behavior has not been thoroughly investigated. A factorial multidirectional pin-on-plate wear study of PEEK was conducted with a focus on molecular weight and sliding path directionality. These factors were studied for their correlation to over all wear performance. Additionally, transfer film thickness was measured at locations along the wear path using white light interferometry. Wear in PEEK was shown to depend significantly on path shape and direction. The lowest wear configuration also resulted in quantifiably thinner and more continuous transfer films. A result of this work has been a greater understanding of PEEK wear mechanisms in various sliding configurations.
This is a manuscript of an article published as Laux, K. A., and C. J. Schwartz. "Influence of linear reciprocating and multi-directional sliding on PEEK wear performance and transfer film formation." Wear 301, no. 1-2 (2013): 727-734. DOI: 10.1016/j.wear.2012.12.004. Posted with permission.
