Mysterious Disney Plus poster for Loki TV show has me falling down the rabbit hole
What the dickens is going on in this Disney Plus Loki poster?

As I've written about previously, Loki looks set to be the next water cooler mega hit for Disney Plus, following on from the massive success of the WandaVision TV show.
And, simply put, I'm excited for it. I'm not a massive Marvel fan or really that into superheroes content, but Loki is a great character and the cast of the show includes Owen Wilson – and who doesn't love Owen Wilson? Exactly.
However, a brand new Loki poster has got me falling down the rabbit hole so to speak – and specifically because of one very interesting detail that stands out massively. Take a look at the full poster below and try and guess what it is.
Time to begin the countdown 🕰 Marvel Studios' #Loki arrives in four weeks, with new episodes every Wednesday starting June 9 on @DisneyPlus. pic.twitter.com/RzuAkIOuhJMay 12, 2021
What the dickens is that cartoon clock? So, you've got the rest of the poster, which is all tonally consistent with what we've seen in Loki key art to date, with a clear time motif on display, and then we've got a Fallout-style cartoon Vault Boy clock smiling at us and waving.
I mean, the clock even has eyes and eyelashes. Oh, and it's also wearing a pair of white gloves for some reason.
If the clock wasn't odd enough, you'll also note that there are no hands on the clock face itself. The clock has a real pair of cartoon hands, but not actual hands.
Basically... what?!
Now, the obvious link between the cartoon clock and the wider poster is the theme of time. Loki and the surrounding characters are encircled by a clock face, while there is also another circle at the base of the poster with ouroboros-style patterns.
As with the cartoon clock, there are also no hands on these either. We know from the Disney Plus Loki trailer that time travel is involved as Loki is shown being forcibly recruited by the Time Variance Authority, and actually we do see that clock briefly in that trailer, as evidenced by the image below.
As such, on face value I think it is most likely that the cartoon clock is the mascot of the Time Variance Authority. This would make sense in terms of the mascot having no hands, too, as the TVA is according to the fiction a body that exists outside of time and space. And, well, if you exist outside of time then time doesn't apply to you does it? And if time doesn't apply then you don't need clock hands.
Taking an even closer look at the image above also has another visual cue that this could be the case as the clock appears to be shown on the screen locked up behind bars – as if time is held captive. Holding time captive seems to be exactly what the TVA is capable of.
However, considering that this is a Marvel property the clock could be something else entirely. Marvel shows and movies have a history of trailing things that then go on to appear in others, with Easter Eggs discoverable in basically everything. Could this clock be one of them? Right now I don't know, but it's an extra level of intrigue that's got me hyped to tune in to Loki on Wednesday 9th June.
To get up to speed on that mysterious cartoon clock watch the full Disney Plus Loki trailer below.

9659002] Researchers reviewed health data from nearly 10,000 patients who were admitted to the UCHealth emergency department between 2012 and 2016. In addition, the proportion of emergency visits attributable to edible cannabis products was compared to inhaled cannabis products.
Monte and his team found that while only 0.3 percent of total cannabis sales were edible in Colorado, emergency visits to edible matter accounted for 10.7 percent of total UCHealth visits.
"Therefore, compared to inhaled cannabis The observed proportion of cannabis-induced ED visits with edible exposure was about 33 times higher than expected," UCHealth said in a press release to the study.
In addition, the researchers found that hospitalizations were higher in patients receiving inhalant cannabis (32.9 percent) who attended the emergency room than those admitted to the emergency department for edible diseases (18, 18). 9 percent).
"These differences may indicate greater severity of adverse events in inhaled cannabis, but they also reflect different clinical presentations," wrote the author of the editorial published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
However, the researchers attributed the inequality to the differential effects of the two types of cannabis products and said that gastrointestinal problems – particularly cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome – in patients admitted for inhaled cannabis disease most common.
The researchers found that it can be difficult for edible users to determine the dosages to be administered because THC in the body differs between edible and inhaled agents and how different people process the active chemical in cannabis. 19659002] "This study suggests that the slower absorption rate when eating edible cannabis makes it harder for users to titrate the desired drug effect. Therefore, some users consume edible cannabis products and cause adverse effects, "said Monte in a statement. "We urge consumers to use cannabis in moderation, to use low dosages when unfamiliar with a product, and to avoid risky behaviors such as driving after consuming cannabis."
Monte also said that further research into cannabis and its effects would be critical. The authors of the editorial by the National Institute for Drug Abuse at the National Institutes of Health agreed.
"We must realize that not all possible harmful consequences of cannabis use are fully understood." Nora D. Volkow (MD) and Ruben Baler (PhD) wrote. Research is needed not only to pinpoint evidence of possible positive effects of cannabis, but also to carefully characterize the possible negative effects. "

Barak Lurie – Handling a Refund Request →
Barak Lurie – State Bar No. 144887
Posted on December 27, 2010 by Web Master
My name is Peter Smith (changed) and I hired Barak Lurie (Facebook|LinedIn) to represent me in a case that did not appear to be too difficult as it should have been time-barred. The main issue of this case was that the government had accused me of a fraudulent transfer of real estate into a trust some eight years ago.
Mr. Lurie had been recommended to me as somebody who could handle this not quite run-of-the-mill government case, and he confirmed during our first meeting that he had the expertise to handle the issues involved and told me that he was actually a specialist in fraudulent transfer cases.
He also confirmed that on its face this case should be time-barred. In his favor I have to admit that he told me that it had happened that he had been wrong – but still he was rather confident that from all he knew the statute of limitations had expired. At that statement I should have left the office together with my money, but he actually made a good impression on me, seemed honest (to admit that so freely) and stressed that it "[was] a pleasure to work with me."
So I hired him and paid a retainer and shorty thereafter a second one when my co-defendant came on board as well – 10 kilo Dollars together. At that time I thought that I would get most of that money back as soon as Mr. Lurie had informed the government of its mistake.
As I am reporting all this here it is obvious that it all did not turn out this way. We had to fire him another 15 thousand dollars later when it became clear that he and his two co-conspirators – Paul L. Gumina (State Bar No. 160110) and Jennifer B. Gardner (State Bar No. 128026) – were totally incapable to handle this case and actually played into the hand of the plaintiff, admitting things left and right that were not only incorrect but totally unnecessary and would have certainly made us lose the case.
The following is the bar complaint that we drafted describing our accusations.
==== Beginning of Bar Complaint Draft ====
The law office of Barak Lurie (sometimes hereafter "BL") accepted representation of me, [name withheld]y, on Oct 15, 2007.
Mr. Lurie, during the initial interview and in later email messages told me that he had the legal expertise to handle the complex tax and fraudulent transfer issues involved in this case. He further stated that he would use outside counsel for issues outside of areas ofsupposed expertise. On its face the case was time barred, at least for the third cause of action, which was a claim of fraudulent transfer against Alpha Beta Gamma Trust for a transfer made by me in 1998. As there is an absolute claims extinguishment period of seven years under the California UFTA, Civil Code section 3439.09, while the government did not initiate its fraudulent transfer case until nine years later in 2007, the case could have been easily won with a dispositive motion.
[Footnote: The government initiated suit under the California UFTA because the statute of limitations under federal law is six years. Please see the Federal Debt Collections Procedures Act, 28 U.S.C. 3001 et seq. Please see 28 U.S.C. 3306(b).
Nor did, or could, the government invoke the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") against the trust by sending it a notice of deficiency under IRC 6901(a), which they would have had to have done within four years of the date I filed my tax returns for tax years 1995 and 1996. Or in other words, they would have had to have sent the second notice no later than the year 2001, as my 1996 return was, of course, filed in the year 1997. To date, they never sent such a notice, and in 2001 it became too late. Hence, the government decided to sue under the California UFTA.]
Instead of filing a dispositive motion, and performing the legal research to back such a motion, Barak Lurie instead filed a nonmeritorious motion for a more definite statement,which was not only unsuccessful, but he charged me thousands of dollars for this disservice. This motion was denied because plaintiff US Department of Justice answered all questions in the reply to the motion. In other words, the need for a motion could have easily been avoided by a few phone conversations and e-mails. BL never contacted opposing counsel regarding the sought after information before filing it, and once it was filed, plaintiff readily disclosed all information sought. Had BL merely contacted opposing counsel first, which is what any competent attorney would do, the expense of the motion could have been avoided. Of course, Barak Lurie was not looking to minimize expences. No, BL was looking for ways to come up with as many billable hours as possible in order to increase its own profits – whether or not it was in my best interests.
Furthermore, Barak Lurie failed to bring up the fact that the administrative lien recorded by the government against the trust in 2003 was illegal because the procedure required by IRC 6901 had not been followed, and there is no other procedure in the IRC permitting an administrative lien to be recorded. Furthermore, BL totally missed the point that the government had sued under the California UFTA and that therefore the entire claim had been extinguished as it had not been brought within the absolute extinguishment period of seven years. Barak Lurie demonstrated total ignorance on these issues after selling himself to me as a "specialist" in fraudulent transfers and real estate law.
During the time of drafting the motion for a more definite statement, the government inquired with Barak Lurie regarding another named defendant, Sunland Financial Services ("SFS"), who had the biggest stake in the case – a lien recorded in the year 2000 that, with interest, was worth approximately five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00), which is more than the property was worth at the time (and certainly more than it's worth now). If that lien is upheld, then there will be no equity for plaintiff, irrespective of the timeliness of its claim. Mr. Lurie had been informed by me that I had all the contact information for this defendant.
Barak Lurie acknowledged the receipt of the inquiry to the Department of Justice ("DOJ") and answered that it would reply shortly. But BL neither responded to the inquiry of the government, nor did he inform me of the inquiry so that I could supply the requested information, which, again, I had told BL was in my possession. Because of his complete disregard of this issue, the government did not learn about the contact information of SFS, which allowed it to pursue and obtain an order for service by publication and then a default judgment against SFS. Had Barak Lurie not behaved in this negligent manner, this result would not have occurred because the government would have had to personally serve SFS. This is especially significant because, in January, 2009, Alpha Beta Gamma Trust ("ABG") filed a bankruptcy petition. In response, the government filed a motion for relief from the automatic stay, but, because SFS is a foreign trust with a foreign address, the government was not able to property serve it, ultimately forcing the government to withdraw its motion. As the same group of DOJ attorneys is representing the government in both cases, one would reasonably conclude that this same conclusion would have been reached, and the government would have lost its case, had Barak Lurie simply given the government the contact information it requested for SFS, or at least told me that they were requesting it so that I could give it to them directly. If he had done so, and things went the way they went in the bankruptcy court, the government would have lost then as it wouldn't have been able to bring SFS (who is first lienholder) within the jurisdiction of the court.
Another problem is that, while Barak Lurie told me that he would be the lead attorney on the case, the actual attorney whom he delegated it to was Paul Gumina, whom I never had a chance to meet, much less interview, prior to BL suddenly appointing him as my attorney. I hired Barak Lurie solely because he assured me that he would be personally representing me. If he had wanted another attorney to take a leading role (or in this case,the leading role), then he had an obligation to inform me before I hired him, and not wait until after I signed the retainer agreement and paid him.
In any event, Paul Gumina left the law offices of Barak Lurie after the motion for more definite statement had been filed. I did not learn about the fact of his resignation (or dismissal) until after several unanswered inquiries regarding the progress of the case to Mr. Gumina remained unanswered. This caused me extreme emotional distress as none of my e-mails came back (i.e. bounced), but two weeks passed without any kind ofresponse. Finally, I learned that a Jennifer Gardner had just been assigned to the case as the replacement for Mr. Gumina.
Mr. Lurie admitted that he had "forgotten" to inform me that the attorney handling my case had left the firm. Neither had Gumina done so. While two weeks may not seem like a long time, I can assure you that, when the IRS is suing you to take away the house you live in, when the case is active, and the attorney you hire ignores you for two solid weeks, two weeks is an extremely long time.
Their behavior was more than just unprofessional and negligent. It amounted to a reckless disregard of my interests as a client, causing me extreme emotional pain and suffering. Apparently the other attorney, Jennifer Gardner, was hired by Barak Lurie and spent (billed) time trying to understand the case. As it wasn't my fault that Mr. Gumina left the firm, it was wrong of them to bill me for the time Ms. Gardner spent to get up to speed. If anything, they should have refunded or credited money to me for the time they wasted with their personnel change. In any event, BL never represented to me that he would assign the case to other attorneys, much less that he would assign it and re-assign the case at his pleasure, and charge him for the hours spent each time a new attorney was assigned. Indeed, he completely misrepresented his involvement in the case, and I only hired him based upon him telling me that he would personally represent me. He should have disclosed to me that other attorneys would be doing virtually all of the work on the case. However, this is not just an issue of assignment. An even bigger issue is the poor job Ms. Gardner did with the assignment. Her first attempt to answer the complaint was so bad and so wrong that ABG certainly would have lost the case because it played right into plaintiff's hands. I, a non-attorney with no legal training, spotted the main errors and brought them to their attention. Barak Lurie had, due to the office's internal friction, lost so much time that I had to constantly pester them to get the reply filed, but still the answer was filed late.
Following is a review of the draft answer prepared by Ms. Gardner to show the incompetence and malpractice with which it was drafted. (I have included a copy of her answer so that the paragraphs can be compared side-by-side to my comments below.) The review will be confined to those paragraphs where her answer was insufficient:
ad 2. The government alleges that, "This action is being commenced… at the direction of the Attorney General of the United States and with the authorization of the Chief Counsel of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a delegate of the Secretary of the Treasury." There is no reason to admit these unproven allegations. Many times government actors don't actually comply with all the requisite formalities. We are looking to win the case any way we can, so how does it benefit me to not deny these allegations, thereby forcing the government to prove its compliance? Moreover, it's often possible to force actual agency heads to testify when the question of their authorisation or involvement is challenged. As these references are to high-ranking officials, compelling them to testify would greatly inconvenience the government, making them more likely to settle or just lose the case. So again, what was the benefit to me in admitting their unproven allegations?
ad 4. The allegation that Defendant Sunland Financial Services ("SFS") resides in the Central District of California is categorically false, and is one of the major acts of malpractice committing by Barak Lurie in this case. I informed BL that SFS maintained its residence in Brazil (the "residence" of a trust estate being the residence of the trustee, who is currently a resident of Brazil). As SFS is in first lien position, and there is no longer enough equity to satisfy SFS's lien, putting the government into a position where it must serve SFS in Brazil could put us into a very good position to settle the case, or even to win it. Nor is this just theory. Eventually ABG filed for bankruptcy. In response, the very same attorney representing the government filed a motion for relief from the stay. Only this time, my new attorney did object that SFS wasn't properly served. The judge agreed and ordered personal service. After several failed attempts, the government withdrew its motion. Had BL paid heed to the information I provided to him, because the rules for service are the same in both district court and bankruptcy court, one would think that the government would be no more successful than they were in the bankruptcy case. The worst part though is that BL didn't even try. No, BL just "admitted" that SFS is a resident of the Central District of California because of his negligent disregard for this case.
ad 6. It was malpractice for Barak Lurie to simply "admit" that my wife and I owed the alleged tax liabilities. This was a major issue in the case as we had always disputed the amount of our alleged tax liabilities and claimed that the returns we filed for the years at issue, to wit, 1995 and 1996, were accurate. As the other defendants were mere transferees, no claim could be made against them, including a claim against ABG as the owner of the subject property, except to the extent that a taxliability exists against myself and/or my wife. Moreover, on my own, I was able to negotiate a settlement with the IRS reducing the tax liabilities from about $370,000@ to about $55,000. How much better could I have done with acompetent attorney who would have put the IRS to its proof, instead of just "admitt[ing]" to the tax liability that underlies this case?
ad 7. What possible reason was there to not admit that SFS claims lien on the property? This is another core issue that, if resolved in SFS's favor, would completely defeat its claim against the property as there would be no remaining equity.
ad 8-9. While a denial of this allegation may be in order, it's not because of lack of information, but rather because ABG holds title to the property. As any competent attorney would know, and especially one who represents himself as a"specialist" in real estate law, an "owner" is not the same as a "lienholder." Barak Lurie failed to show the competence level of a first year law student!
ad 12. It's malpractice, plain and simple, for Barak Lurie to "admit" that myself and my wife have been assessed. No evidence was offered, and frequently the IRS and other agencies don't follow their own procedures. In any event, why not put them to the proof? What benefit is derived from just conceding the issue?
ad 14. The best that can be said about this paragraph of Barak Lurie's response is that it's poorly written, as my wife and I have consistently and strenuously maintained that we have paid all our federal tax liabilities for tax years 1995 and 1996 no later than the date that our returns for those years were filed, and that there is no outstanding balance.
ad 17. This should have been an outright denial, and an obvious one for a so-called "specialist" in real estate law. The only authority of the IRS to record anadministrative lien against a transferee of a taxpayer is under IRC 6091. That section can only be imposed by issuing a notice of deficiency to the transferee which accords to the transferee the opportunity to petition the tax court, and the burden of proof on the issue of transferee liability in any such proceeding will be on the IRS. Should the IRS win the case, then it may record a lien even though there is no judicial judgment (because the tax court is an Article 1, and not an Article III, court, or in other words, it's an administrative court). Otherwise, there is no authority for a mere revenue agent or other IRS personnel to just record a lien. This is crucial because no notice of deficiency was ever issued to either ABG or SFS in this case. A competent attorney, who is familiar with the transferee liability rules of the Internal Revenue Code, would have immediately made this objection, but not BL. The only conclusion is that Barak Lurie is not competent or not behaving competently, and either way, it's malpractice.
ad 18. In this paragraph, Barak Lurie demonstrates that he simply wasn't paying attention to what I was telling him from day one, which is that I was never the beneficial owner of the property. Basically, I made an arrangement with [name wihheld] under which I would sign for the loan, service it in exchange for living in it (my rent), and transfer it to his trust: the Alpha Beta Gamma Trust. As this would be how the case would be presented at trial, BL was spoiling the chances of making this presentation with BL's unqualified admission to this paragraph, where BL asserts that my wife and I were owners, when it's our contention that we were never beneficial owners. If we were never beneficial owners, then we never transferred any equity, and so any fraudulent transfer claim – indeed, any claim against the property at all – must fail.
Another problem is Barak Lurie's affirmative defence that IRS is barred by the statute of limitations. This is not true. Had BL had even basic knowledge of federal law on this point, BL would know that, nearly 70 years ago, the supreme court exempted the federal government from state statutes of limitations in United States v. Summerlin, 310 U.S.414, 1940. However, the question has never been definitely settled about whether or not the federal government is subject to a state claims extinguishment (i.e. statute of repose)? The weight of authority and reasoning is that it is so subject, and two decisions from within the Ninth Circuit, that are precisely analogous to the facts of this case in that they both involved claims of the IRS against a delinquent taxpayer's transferee's real estate, so state. Those cases are U.S. v. Vellalos, 780 F.Supp. 705, D. Hawaii, 1992, and United States v. Wright, 76 AFTR2d 95-7526, 7528, 96-1 USTC ¶ 50,005, 1995. Had BL actually known anything about the applicability of state claims extinguishment provisions to the federal government, then he would have been aware of these two cases which are within the very federal circuit where BL practices. In sum, BL's reply constitutes malpractice as it was obviously written by an attorney with no familiarity with the laws and legal principles involved in this case, and utterly unfamiliar with the factual theory of the case. Or in other words, it's malpractice. Barak Lurie also failed to follow up on the court order for arbitration in that he failed to contact the government in accordance with the court's order. This would have reduced this case from the initial claim of $370,000 to the current claim of $55,000 which was actually reached within two days by me personally, handling the case pro se. It was obviously not in the interest of BL to speed up the case and minimize his billable hours.

In 2015 I went through five (yes – 5!) saddles trying to find one to fit me and Miss Daizy. I am still working through the saddle issues as I start this story for 2016. (went through 3 more in 2016) After spending thousands of dollars, I have put Miss Daizy back into her Barefoot Cheyenne treeless saddle and I'm going to spend more money to buy a second one as a backup.
And Miss Daizy has been going through some Chiropractic sessions to correct *HER* crookedness. I realized after riding Steel 75 miles at Mustang in 2015, that I am not the one that is crooked, it is Miss Daizy and sure enough, a vet visit confirmed her back issues.
New saddle, Podium. Rode two days at Muckleratz and got Grand Champion on the second day. I really like this saddle, it does not cause me back pain. So I decided to go to Iron Mtn Jubilee and test it out on a 50 mile ride. Read the story, more back issues for Miss Daizy. I have decided to sell Miss Daizy to a LW or FW rider.

Four persons arrested for Kalyani University rampage
By: Press Trust of India | Kalyani |
Published: February 19, 2015 2:01:03 pm
Four persons have been arrested in connection with the rampage at Kalyani University in which two senior officials were assaulted, police said on Thursday.
Police arrested four persons on Wednesday in connection with Tuesday's incident when agitating students and employees of the varsity in Nadia district demanding the VC's resignation went on a rampage injuring two officials.
Estate in-charge Pratap Santra and Admission Committee Chairperson Prof Sujata Chowdhury were attacked by the students besides damaging CCTV cameras and furniture in the varsity premises.
The protesters claimed that the VC Rattan Lal Hangloo had declared the results of 10,000 undergraduate students of colleges affiliated to the university as incomplete a month ago.
Describing it as "unfortunate", West Bengal Governor K N Tripathi who is also the Chancellor of the university, on Wednesday said that discipline should be maintained by everybody.
The state government had said that action would be taken against those involved in the attack. Education Minister Partha Chatterjee visited the university and met its Vice-Chancellor and Registrar on Wednesday.
"Administrative steps will be taken against the attackers, whether men or women. What has happened cannot be tolerated," Chatterjee said.
Ruling Trinamool Congress MP and noted academician Sugata Bose had also condemned the assault. A woman was at the forefront in attacking the two officials who have been hospitalised.
The VC had claimed that the university authorities were to invoke a rule of law and instill discipline in the campus which some of the employees and students disliked.

Hot on the heels of George Osborne's and Jeremy Corbyn's comes that of London mayor Boris Johnson and it shows the now-Uxbridge MP has paid more than £1m in tax over the past four years.
His mayoral salary has been static over the period between 2011/12 and 2014/15 at £143,911, but his annual salary at the Daily Telegraph has risen from £250,000 in the first three years to £266,667 last year.
Net book royalties fluctuated but last year he earned just over £224,000.
That means his taxable income for 2014/15 was £612,583 - warranting a total UK tax bill of £276,505 - making him apparently the best-paid politician so far.

Ooredoo has today announced that the first commercial 5G network in the world has now reached 50 sites in Qatar.
Since Ooredoo announced it was the first operator in the world to launch a 5G network commercially in May, the company has invested heavily in rolling-out the next-generation technology to ensure Qatar is at the forefront of 5G developments and the 5G ecosystem.
Thanks to this latest milestone some of Qatar's most populated areas in Doha are now 5G enabled, meaning a huge number of Ooredoo customers and businesses will be able to instantly access the 5G network when devices become available.
As well as investing in the 5G roll-out, Ooredoo is thoroughly testing a batch of the first-ever live 5G home broadband devices.
The 25 devices in Qatar are being tested on Ooredoo's 5G network to ensure the performance is seamless in various use-cases before being made available to customers.
So far, the company has announced the new 5G home broadband devices will work on both the Ooredoo 4G and 5G network and can achieve speeds of up to 2 Gbps, 20 times the speeds of Ooredoo's 100Mbps fibre.
"We're working tirelessly to reach the 100 5G sites milestone, and we're pushing the 5G Home Broadband device to its limit, to make sure it's 5G ready and Qatar worthy," added Waleed Al Sayed.
Ooredoo's 5G network roll-out will have a hugely positive impact on many business sectors and organisations in Qatar. Most noticeably, 5G serves as the next step in network evolution, as it has much higher speeds and capacity, and extreme low latency. Ooredoo 5G will enable new types of applications like driverless cars and smart roads, the connection of millions of low powered connected devices, Augmented Reality and much more.
Due to world-wide manufacturing limitations, Ooredoo's 5G Supernet network is not yet accessible by smartphones, however, the company has stated that it is working to rapidly roll-out its state-of-the-art network so that consumers and businesses across Qatar can instantly benefit as soon as compatible devices are made available. Ooredoo welcomes device manufacturers and developers of 5G use cases to Qatar so that arrangements can be made for them to test against the worlds first, deployed, commercial 5G network.


"Science is not a boy's game, it's not a girl's game. It's everyone's game. It's about where we are and where we're going."
It was early in the school year, the very first of her teaching career, that Monique Castro noticed a problem.
She was teaching math to kindergarteners at a charter school in San Jose, California. And there was this one little girl, Caitlin Aceves Bolanos. At age 5, Caitlin was in the crucial early stages of her school career, and the young teacher noticed that she wasn't saying much. Hardly anything in those first few weeks.
And Monique knew that she needed to do something about it. She's well aware of the troubling statistics about girls in math and science. She knows the importance of making girls feel comfortable and confident in the STEM subjects at an early age, and how the failure to address this early on only grows worse as girls progress through their education.
As she neared college graduation, Monique realized she actually enjoyed being in the classroom. "I thought, 'School's great! I'm not done going to school.'" And since she'd been through so many educational challenges herself, "I decided that teaching would be the best avenue – I could offer that back to others." So she kept going. She earned her teaching credential at National Hispanic University in San Jose, and in 2013 her master's in education at Santa Clara University.
But it was, of course, more than just the hair. Monique could see herself in the shyness, the reluctance. "When I was younger, I didn't have a ton of friends," she says. And so that had been a part of her work from the start – asking other kids, for example, to go and play with Caitlin. "Seeing her come out of her shell, I felt like, 'Oh, I've done it!'" By the end of the school year, Caitlin ended up as one of the top-performing students in the class, with a particular affinity for math.
"Seeing her come out of her shell, I felt like, 'Oh, I've done it!'"
Monique wants all girls, especially those in underserved communities, to have experience – and more than that, confidence – in STEM subjects. She helped organize STEM-focused field trips to eBay and Salesforce to introduce elementary-aged girls to women role models in STEM through the Techbridge program, a community organization with a mission to inspire girls in underserved communities to discover a passion for STEM. Every week, girls in the program meet for several hours to work on engineering projects, including a gumdrop tower project in which the girls built towers out of toothpicks and gumdrop candies. They developed hypotheses, and then tested and retested them to determine which type of construction was the sturdiest.

Also in Jewish Refugees and the Holocaust
Diary of Susi Hilsenrath
View this Diary
tags: children & youth children's diaries family health & hygiene refugees & immigration religious life
Susi Hilsenrath was barely ten years old when her parents decided to send her and her younger brother to France from their native Bad Kreuznach in Germany. It was months after the Kristallnacht, a landmark, state-sponsored nationwide outburst of physical violence against Jews that occurred in the days after November 9, 1938, in which more than a hundred Jews were murdered across Germany, countless synagogues, Jewish-owned businesses, and houses were vandalized or destroyed, and over 30,000 Jews dragged off to concentration camps where an estimated 1,000 of them died. The Hilsenraths' house was damaged in the pogrom as well, and the family took Kristallnacht, as many German Jews did, as the final proof that Jewish life in Nazi Germany had become impossible, and that emigration was the order of the day. Prior to the countrywide pogrom, many Jews had found ways to accommodate their lives to the antisemitic Nazi society; after the November pogrom, most thought that this was no longer possible.1
As the Germans invaded and defeated France in the summer of 1940, the guardian hired by Susi's father evacuated Susi and her brother from Paris to Broût-Vernet, a small town in Vichy France close to its government headquarters in Auvergne. There, they were helped by the Œuvre de Secours aux Enfants, a French Jewish organization that was helping Jewish refugee children. The organization housed them, along with a number of other Jewish children in similar situations, in a local château, where they awaited emigration. With the help of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, the American humanitarian organization which helped European Jewish refugees to emigrate to the United States, Susi and her brother soon received immigrant visas. Traveling via Spain and Portugal, they arrived in New York City in the fall of 1941.2 There they were reunited with their parents and their youngest brother, who had separately managed to emigrate to the United States.
While housed at the château—from sometime in the summer of 1940, until the late summer of 1941—Susi kept a diary. She described her life as part of the larger group of children amidst their uncertainty about the future. The diary captures a range of the author's moods and emotions, from childish musings to profound anxiety and sadness. Like other children authors of Holocaust diaries, Susi channeled her awareness of the extraordinary and perilous situation without understanding the specific threats that she was facing.3

Jewish fast day, commemorating the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem.
Uncle Hermann's card is written in French.
Oh, how happy I was, and now how many tears I've shed. I am not leaving. The others left an hour ago. Weichselbaum, Feuer, and Fellman aren't leaving either. Oh, now I can't stand it anymore, the day seems twice as long. Strange, everything is all turned around. Edith is leaving and Adolf and Alexander are leaving. Oh yes, Helga is also staying. With whom shall I go now? With Helga, impossible. In the end, she would drive me crazy. I don't want to go with Sabine, and with Susi W., I don't know whether we get along. The house will be empty, but I think 40 new children are going to come. [...] I don't know how long I can stand it here. I want so much to travel after them in a bus, to eat the good things, and travel so long on the train, through a whole country. Then by ship across the big ocean and then, best of all, to see my dear parents again. My dear, dear parents. But often I get quite a strange feeling, I think that my parents have separated and don't want to be together anymore, but I don't know why, the thought just comes to me on its own.
Today is Tisha b'Av.1 We fasted until 2:30, and I was terribly hungry. I thought I would be in Ganal by this time, and where am I now—in this miserable house. But one thing you can say, if we had gone with this transport, then we would have to thank the Directress for almost everything. Because she is on the telephone all day, she says, Hilsenrath and Feuer have to leave; she repeats it every time. One can certainly say that since Herr Weichselbaum left, she has become much nicer and more decent. She doesn't shout as much anymore, and when she does shout, there's a reason for it. She is much more engaged with us, too. I am extremely angry with Herr Cogan. If he had not phoned today, and the Directress had phoned instead, she would have accomplished more. It was like this: he spoke to Frau Salomon about the children who left (Flora and Gustel almost wouldn't have gone, if the Directress hadn't been there). He talked about Flora and someone asked him her age, and he said she was 15, and Gustel 12. The children who were over 12 couldn't go, for the most part. I think Frau Salomon was about to say they couldn't go, but the Directress spoke insistently [...] After a lot of mulling it over, he got the words out. Then she told him [to say] a lot of other things, but he just would not say them. She spoke about us, too, she said, ask about Hilsenrath and Feuer. Not a word came out. "About Hilsenrath and Feuer," the Directress said. Not a word. Finally, it came out. Madame Salomon said it was impossible, he said "Fine, fine," and once again, "fine." He doesn't care whether we go or not. I'm sure that if the Directress had had the telephone in her hand, she would have accomplished something. But he, the dumb fool, or even better, idiot, can't do anything. Then the Directress took the phone in her hand for a minute and asked about Hilde and Otto, because they couldn't go either, and she accomplished it. Oh, if you only knew how angry I am at Cogan.
I'm not at all sorry about the children who left, only Edith. How we came together, I really don't know. How happy I would be if I had gone with her. I would have enjoyed the trip twice as much. Oh, that would have been so nice, and now everything is over, all over. Never, I think, will I feel really good here again after this.
Now I've calmed down, but I think about it often, it really is not that bad.
Today we received a card from Uncle Hermann, which said, "it's over with my fiancée, I didn't really know her character."2 Oh, how terrible it is, to have a woman like that. He is also a bit carried away by Paris, too. Oh, Paris, so chic and so smutty. How many people have been carried away by enthusiasm for it.
Both of Fernande's little sisters have come. They are quite sweet. Quite different from her. Not at all so chubby.
Now I'm sitting with Anna W., Leia H., and Fernande O. at the table in the refectory. Good company at the table again. She (Anna) always waits until she can get the biggest piece. I really dislike that kind of thing, although, to tell the truth, sometimes I do it too. But it is really bad, and I keep resolving not to do it. But if I have to do it, then I can't complain when the others do it.

set all movies as "watched"?
> Support > General Support > iOS > set all movies as "watched"?
Japaja Wrote: Yes this works perfectly which makes me wonder what are all these guys talking about?
The option to "Mark All Watched" is not available in the contect menu for my sources list. i.e. Movies. If I navigate down a level, it becomes available in the context menu, but now I have to do it for each movie folder, which is what the OP is trying to avoid.
I suppose if I had another higher level folder between "Movies" and the movie folders, then it would work, but not everyone is setup that way.
Another option would be to use one of the 'views' in Library mode, such as "Years" and mark them watched by year - for me, this would be the least amount of work.
You could manipulate the database directly too I guess.
You are looking in wrong place. U need to go to videos not sources (files), but I'm using Eden so maybe that option wasn't there in Dharma.

Yeah, that's there in Dharma too. I found it when I switched to Confluence. Unfortunately, the skin I was using (Transparency) took me directly to sources when I selected videos, so that option wasn't there for me. Thanks anyway, I hope it helps someone else who finds this thread with the same problem.
Japaja - What skin is that please?
DStu Wrote: Japaja - What skin is that please?
Doesn't work on Krypton 17.6. There is no option to mark "watched" at any level of the video files unless you're on the file itself. Seems the "clean library" feature now completely wipes out entire libraries regardless of watched status instead of removing just the dead links like it used to. Setting all my content back up and rescanning all my video files brought them back in but all as unwatched. I'm not going through 200 movies and individually mark them as watched again. There's a "mark as watched" item for each individual movie, but when I navigate higher up in the directory level and try to "mark all as watched" the feature isn't on the context menu (just play and add to favorites). Completely perplexing and frustrating to me why this wouldn't be easy and straightforward. What's more frustrating is that the "clean library" and "mark all as watched" used to work just fine in older versions with little effort. I'm still thinking there's got be a something I'm completely missing here. This shouldn't be this hard.

I have one movies source. That has 7 subdirectories, and below that level each file is in a separate folder. I can set watched status from the context menu on anything except the main source, which AFAIK is the same as it's always been... That's in 17.6 or leia rc2.

Please note: This item will also fit on the TG-3 and TG-4 camera, however it was not made specifically for that model. The ring locks into place, however there is a small gap along the outside edge because it is smaller than the TG-3 and TG-4 decoration ring, which is available for sale in silver.
The decoration ring DOES NOT effect the waterproof ability of the camera.

Stunning New Wooden Design & Research Center at the University of Arkansas
The future of timber is looking bright indeed, as illustrated by a stunning new building at the University of Arkansas. The Anthony Timberlands Center for Design and Materials Innovation will be an extension of the Jay Jones School and a key part of the university's Windgate Art and Design District. It will house the school's expanding design-build program and fabrication technologies laboratories and serve as the new home to its emerging graduate program in timber and wood design.
The vision by Grafton Architects was selected above proposals by big names like Shigeru Ban Architects and Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter in a design competition funded in part by a grant from the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities. The jury said it "presents the most compelling landscaping plan, demonstrating possibilities for integrating the architecture and art programs in the Windgate Art and Design district."
"The building fulfill its designers' ambition of being a 'storybook of timber'… in syncing material use to program, this approach offers students first-hand opportunities to learn about timber. The wood structures are educational in an experiential and poetic manner. The dramatically soaring, rhythmical space is an architectural abstraction of a sensorially rich forest condition."
Based in the U.K., Grafton Architects was founded by Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara, both of whom have been selected as 2020 Pritzker Prize Laureates, the highest honor in architecture. Of the selection of their proposal, they say, "we are very excited about building our first building in the United States in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This building helps us think about the future optimistically, where the use of timber with all its possibilities becomes real, useful and hopefully loved."
Farrell says the basic idea of the new Anthony Timberlands Center is that the building itself is a "storybook of timber." It features a cascading roof that responds to the local climate, capturing natural light.
"We want people to experience the versatility of timber, both as the structural 'bones' and the enclosing 'skin' of this new building. The building itself is a teaching tool, displaying the strength, color, grain, texture and beauty of the various timbers used."

The Roots' Questlove Explains Why Drake's 'Honestly, Nevermind' Album Is 'A Gift'
Published on: Jun 17, 2022, 1:57 PM PDT
While Charlamagne Tha God may think Drake's new album Honestly, Nevermind sounds like "elevator music," Questlove thinks it's going to make people want to dance. On Friday (June 17), as fans and peers continued to dissect the 14-track project, The Roots drummer and modern-day renaissance man shared his thoughts on the album — but from a DJ's perspective.
"My relationship to new hip hop is mostly on a 'how can this serve me & my dj gigs?' & less about me listening as a fan," he wrote. "That said this @Drake jawn is a gift. Only people not wit the program are people who don't move their bodies. That ain't sexy yo."
My relationship to new hip hop is mostly on a "how can this serve me & my dj gigs?" & less about me listening as a fan. That said this @Drake jawn is a gift. Only people not wit the program are people who don't move their bodies. That ain't sexy yo ??♂
— Dr. Love (@questlove) June 17, 2022
Questlove's comments were met with mixed reactions. Some people quickly read between the lines and pointed out Questlove was essentially saying he wasn't a Drake fan but would play his music simply to get people on the dance floor.
When one person suggested the album was "perfect, digestible house music," they were met with comments such as, "Are we listening to the same beats?"
Charlamagne Tha God Compares Drake's 'Honestly, Nevermind' Album To 'Elevator Music'
Feedback on the project has been lukewarm at best, with many calling it Drake's "worst" album yet. Despite how people feel about it, it's doing record-breaking numbers. According to a press release, it became the biggest dance album in Apple Music history, breaking the record for first-day streams worldwide — in one hour.
Honestly, Nevermind is currently streaming on all digital platforms. Find it below.

Once during the semester, one of my more ambitious students defended the United States against all other nations by arguing that we respected "the rule of law." He was wrong, of course, but I didn't interject. Another popular proclamation calls us, "a nation of laws, not of men," and while we may be a nation of lawsuits, this "nation of laws" rhetoric is once again being shown up for its emptiness this weekend. I don't just mean that the president doesn't respect the law, but that a seemingly large number of Americans doesn't care either.
Today, in Common Dreams, David Sirota compares Bush's defiance of law with Richard Nixon's and cites this David Frost interviewin which Nixon says that the president himself is the "dividing line" between legality and illegality. If we were a nation of law, surely the media would be writing about law-breaking. However, as both Sirota and Alexander Cockburn point out, the papers are doing nothing of the kind. The New York Times' shameful decision not to print the story a year ago once again confirms its lack of credibility as the "paper of record."
It's not just the media that is failing to do its job, it was also the Senate Intelligence committee members, who were briefed on the policy but did not oppose it. Nancy Pelosi, for example, says she "expressed strong concerns," but perhaps she thought publicizing a classified report of illegal government activites was more illegal than doing the spying?
Finally, to find the real lovers of "law n' order," I went to read "Free Republic," the best place to take the temperature of the right wing grassroots, and it does seem that they're coming up with the standard excuse for these activities. First, they argue, "the people that the NSA is spying on aren't innocent," and they also say, "b-b-b-but Clinton used the FBI to spy on American citizens too."
So there, they've confirmed it. We're a nation of men, not laws. It's OK to spy if you spy on the right people, and it's OK to spy if you're the right people. As long as "enlightened statesmen are at the helm" we can trust them to do whatever the hell they think is fit. Think I'm exaggerating?
"You're right," one freeper says in response to a liberal commenter who'd suggested that he would be up in arms if Clinton or Gore had endorsed spying on Americans. However, he said, that's because he trusts Bush with the "responsibility" of breaking the law, wouldn't trust Gore or Clinton.
Another I just have to quote at length:
Again, our enemy is not a nation, rather our enemy resides in many nations through out the world. The enemy is an idealogy based on extreme Islam. All terrorists are muslims. Islam is the one thing all terrorists have in common. So long as those being spyed on in America are muslims, or Americans doing a suspicious business with muslims, or having close suspect ties with known muslims, I don't have a problem with this since we are at war with muslims. However, if those being spyed on have no relations to Islam, I have a problem with these kinds of invasions of privacy. I find them anti American, anti freedom, and anti Constitution.
Problem is, how do we know? How do we find out? Do we simply take their word for it? Like most took the word of those marshals at Miami?
by takenoprisoner (It is an err of celestial proportions to sacrifice freedom for security)
This is Bush's base, and they don't understand democracy at all. Hell, I don't trust anybody to break the law that's written to protect my freedom from surveillance and whatnot, but, hey, call me a "left wing whack-job with a tinfoil hat." After all, I think there's some value to the constitution, even if I don't trust anybody to actually enforce it. As our Atty Gen. Alberto "Torquemada Gonzales puts it, that's "quaint."
As Cockburn, St. Clair and Sirota point out, the media's not helping folks get it. While you're frustrated and frothing, and wishing you had something to do with your pent up frustration, it's worth participating in this little mediamatters email letter campaign to MSNBC about Chris Matthews.

I measured the effects of Sonarworks' True-Fi processing using a G.R.A.S. Model 43AG ear/cheek simulator (including the RA040X high-resolution ear simulator and KB5000 pinna), a laptop computer running TrueRTA software with an M-Audio MobilePre USB audio interface, and a Musical Fidelity V-CAN amplifier. Because the test files had to be processed through the Sonarworks app, I had to play a pink-noise file as the stimulus and use TrueRTA, instead of generating and analyzing signals using my usual Audiomatica Clio 10 FW analyzer. These are "flat" measurements; no diffuse-field or free-field compensation curve was employed.
This chart shows the frequency response of the Audeze LCD-X headphones measured with and without True-Fi processing. True-Fi introduces a bass boost of about 7dB centered at 35Hz, and a treble boost of about 5dB maximum and centered at 3kHz, as well as a 4dB boost centered at 7.5kHz.
This chart shows the frequency response of the Bose QC20 earphones with noise canceling on, measured with and without True-Fi processing. True-Fi cuts the bass by about 7dB centered at 40Hz, and introduces treble cuts of about 4dB maximum centered at 3.1kHz, and 9dB centered at 8kHz.
This chart shows the frequency response of the Sony MDR-7506 headphones, measured with and without True-Fi processing. Here the effect is more subtle than with the above headphones and earphones. True-Fi cuts the bass by about 2dB centered at 60Hz, boosts the lower mids by about 4dB centered at 200Hz, and reduces the treble response by about 2dB on average between 4 and 7kHz.
Here you can compare the responses of the Audeze LCD-4, Sony MDR-7506, and Status Audio CB-1 headphones after True-Fi processing. It seems the target response is different for each design; if it were the same, the traces would overlap except for a few spurious variances caused by differences in the physical design of the headphones and the fit of their earpieces on the ear/cheek simulator.
In this chart you can see the effects of True-Fi's Adjust for Age feature, with the intensity set to 50%, and the correction set for 55-year-old males and females and a 35-year-old man. Interestingly, this control introduces not only a treble rolloff, but also some effects on the bass and on the overall listening level.
What constitutes a "correct" measurement for the results above is very much a matter of debate, but these measurements do indicate that True-Fi's corrections are not (at least in the cases of these headphone models) extreme or unexpected, and that Sonarworks does seem to have put some serious thought and work into each of the correction curves, rather than merely making each headphone model conform to the same curve.


Cucuta, Colombia – Cielo leaves her home in Venezuela at 04:30am every day to get to school in Colombia.
For two years now, the 11-year-old student has been crossing into Colombia using the Simon Bolivar foot bridge for access to education as many teachers in her homeland have migrated or refuse to work for the little money the Venezuelan government can pay them since the country's economic crisis began in 2015.
But this bridge, along with others, was blocked off last month for two weeks by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro after Juan Guaido , the opposition leader and self-declared interim president, attempted to lead a US-backed aid caravan across the border.
Maduro, who has routinely denied that there is a humanitarian crisis in the country, maintains the aid is a ruse to remove him from power.
After days of protests by parents and children on the Venezuelan side of the border, a "humanitarian passage" was opened on Monday, allowing only schoolchildren and the critically ill to cross into Colombia using the formal border bridges.
This border closure led to an emergence of informal crossings, known locally as "trochas", that are dangerous and controlled by armed groups from both countries charging people money to pass through them. Venezuelans need to cross into Colombia to buy basic items that are scarce in Venezuela, like food and medicine, or, in Cielo's case, to get an education.
Even though the bridge is now open for certain groups, the Venezuelan National Guard does not let parents cross with their children, who must go alone. People are also not allowed to transport products from Colombia into Venezuela on the bridges.
The young student, a biology and sports lover, said she did not like using the trochas, but more importantly for her, she did not want to miss school.
"Sometimes we have to run to get through [the trochas] because they close them off," Cielo said, walking her way to the crossing through the bustling border town of Cucuta after school, dressed in her school uniform.
"It's very dangerous. People say there are paramilitaries and guerrillas and sometimes there are confrontations".
Upon arrival to the narrow and overcrowded trocha, Cielo weaved her small body through the masses of people frantically trying to return to Venezuela, hauling heavy bags and suitcases filled with supplies bought in Colombia.
People shout "make way" as they rush through with entire sacks of potatoes on their heads, while others get knocked down or to the side.
Children as young as eight stand by the river, asking for money in exchange for helping people cross it with their bags. On the other side, Venezuelan armed groups collect money to allow people to continue to use the trocha.
One mother, Dayanera Diaz, 42, takes turns with her sister each day to walk their children to school from Venezuela to Colombia. She was doing the return journey will her son and nephew a week ago. She said she had to pay to pass through, but they did not charge the children.
"When the bridge is open they go to school by themselves, but now that it's closed, it's too dangerous," said Diaz, who was also carrying rice and meat back with her.
Laidy Gomez, governor of the Tachira border region, deemed the measure of not letting Venezuelans pass through the border bridges with basic food and supplies for their families "inhumane". On Tuesday, members of the opposition asked Michelle Bachelet, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, to visit the informal crossings.
Cielo attends the "mega school" on the border with about 2,500 other students. Nearly half – 1,200 – are Venezuelans or "returning" Colombians, who left during during Colombia's five-decade-long armed conflict and have now come back since Venezuela's economic downfall.
"It's unbelievable that only five out of 1,200 children came to class the day after the closure, who used to pass by without problems," said German Berbesi, the school's headteacher. "For some, it was out of fear of the illegal armed groups, and for others, because the Venezuelan National Guard or the guerillas and paramilitary groups didn't let them cross".
Berbesi criticised the governments of the United States and Colombia, as well as Venezuela's opposition, for disappearing after their "failed attempt" to get aid into Venezuela.
"Now the borders are closed and our children are left stranded, where is our president, our governors, our mayor? Where is [US] President [Donald] Trump's help now?" he said.
The headteacher said attendance numbers have have gone down dramatically since the border closed and now there are about 850 of the 1,200 Venezuelans or "returning" Colombians attending. Before, most of these students would hardly miss a day as spots in the school are in high demand.
"In the trochas, the children are always at risk. Parents call to say they aren't sending their child because they're scared for them. What can I say? I can't force them to send them in case something happens to them," Berbesi said.
One of the main reasons for the reopening of the bridge for children and the sick was because the river they had to cross has risen in recent days due to rainfall, making the trek even more difficult.
"I have a friend who's missed two weeks and I know others who are coming up to three weeks," said Cielo.
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) – a group devoted to protecting the rights of people affected by displacement – said some 4,000 boys and girls who cross the border every day to get an education in Colombia have not been able to continue with their classes because of the border closure.
"In spite of the situation, some children are walking through irregular crossings to reach schools, exposing themselves to the protection risks, including those associated with non-state armed groups that are part of the conflict in Colombia," Christian Visnes, NRC Colombia country director, told Al Jazeera.
Venezuela's closure of the border has mainly affected its own people, according to Felipe Munoz, the Colombian government's director of border issues.
"There are 3,218 Venezuelan children who are collected in Colombian buses every day and brought to school so they can study and eat and that is not able to happen now," Munoz said, referring mainly to children who live in further away towns.
Cielo said she would continue to make her daunting walk to school through the trochas for now, but hoped for change.
"The time I leave in the morning it's really dark and feels dangerous. It's all bushes and sometimes when I get there, they haven't even opened the trochas yet," the 11-year-old said.
