The Neglected and Abused
Author, Doctor, Speaker, Joseph Bentivegna
Doctor Bentivegna is an ophthalmologist living in Connecticut. He has written numerous op-ed pieces for The Hartford Courant and The New York Times regarding health care, tort reform, and the political situation in Haiti.

St. Francis Will Defeat UConn Women
The St. Francis University Red Flash have won the NEC (Northeast Conference) Tournament automatically qualifying for the NCAA Tournament where as a sixteenth seed, we will play the UConn Women in the first round. My alma mater will succeed in scoring the biggest upset in athletic history.
Now before you accuse me of smoking weed before Connecticut has legalized it, hear me out. Even though our undergraduate enrollment is slightly larger than the number of trainers the Huskies employ, St. Francis University has a proud basketball tradition.
Nestled in the foothills of western Pennsylvania in the small town of Loretto, St. Francis produced Maurice Stokes, the NBA Rookie of the Year in 1956. Norm Van Lier and Kevin Porter became NBA stars. Bonnie Kleinschuster shot 90% from the foul line in the 1978 season, a record no male has matched. Mike Iuzzolino lit up the NBA with his deadly three-point shooting in the early 1990s.
Skeptics will point out that the Red Flash encountered the Huskies in the NCAA tournament in 1999 and 2002 and lost both games by around fifty points. They will further point out that the Huskies are undefeated and blow out opponents so quickly that even hard core fans switch to Netflix ten minutes into the first quarter. Fivethirtyeight.com gives the Red Flash little chance of winning and the Huskies a 65% of winning the tournament. But these were the same wizards who gave Donald Trump a 1% chance of becoming president. How did that work out?
Our team is peaking. Led by the ferocious Jessica Kovatch, we are on a roll, winning our last eight games and finishing the season with an impressive 24 – 9 record. Kovatch is the second highest scorer in the country, averaging 25 points a game. Power forward Ace Harrison along with our 6' 4" center Courtney Zeppa will be crashing the boards. The Huskies will have their hands full.
As hard as it is for my readers to believe, there is an outside chance I could be wrong. It does happen. Just ask my wife. But the Red Flash will be able to tell their children and grandchildren that they walked onto the court with stars such as Kia Nurse, Gabby Williams and Katie Lou Samuelson; and played their hearts out. And should the game become a blow out, Coach Joe Haigh – a great guy and personal friend – will give all the Red Flash on the bench an opportunity to play against this legendary team.
And should the Huskies defeat the Red Flash, their chance of winning the tournament is not 65% as posited by Fivethirtyeight.com. It is 100%.

They should have called time out and taken a picture when it was 5-5, before the layup drill started. Joe, you could have played better defense out there.
An edgy and often hilarious exploration of barely concealed racism told as a taut page-turner that ranges through a kaleidoscope of ethnic experiences and economic classes. This novel, Respect, is sure to have people talking.

Francis Meechan (27 October 1929 – 20 August 1976) was a Scottish footballer who played as a defender for Petershill, Celtic and Stirling Albion. He played for Celtic in three Scottish Cup Finals in the mid-1950s, beating Aberdeen in 1954 (as part of a double with the Scottish Football League, the club's first championship since the 1930s) followed by defeats at the hands of Clyde in 1955 and Hearts in 1956.

After retiring as a player Meechan became a scout for Celtic in a link with his local club Cumbernauld United (where a teenage Kenny Dalglish was farmed out for experience during the period), but died aged 46 – the Frank Meechan Memorial Charity Match in Cumbernauld was played in his memory.

Q: jQuery in Rails I added an accordion for an attachment within index.html.erb
where I have two tabs named 'users' and 'attachments'.
I also have resource routes defined for both users and attachments.

navbar links

<%= link_to "Users", users_path %>

<%= link_to "Attachments", attachments_path %>

When I refresh the page from within the attachments tab and refresh the page I can see the accordion, but when I open the attachment tab with a link_to, I can't see the accordion.
How can I always see the accordion when I am in /attachments route
Edit

attachment.js

$(document).ready(function() {
   $(".accordion").accordion( { collapsible: true } );
});

index.html.erb (just necessary part)

    <% Here some condition with each do |a| %>

<%= a %>

            <% Here some condition with each do |b|  %>

<%= b %>

Advantages: Bi-lingual text; plenty of wartime photos; decal sheet included; attractive fold-out colour profiles (12 colour profiles in total); good coverage of operations and aces.
Kagero has turned its attention to the famous VF-17 "Jolly Rogers".
This soft-cover, small A5 format book comprises 80 glossy pages covering the VF-17 from its formation by LTCDR Tom Blackburn at the beginning of 1943, to the delivery of their first Corsairs (accompanied by experts from the Vought factory) in February of the same year, through training and deployment; until its final operations over Kikai in May 1945.
The book is generously illustrated with images of the men and machines of the Jolly Rogers.
Text is presented in Polish and English, with the languages appearing in different columns on the same page. This seems to work quite well.
Despite the small page format, Kagero offers eight of the total twelve colour profiles on A4 foldout pages. The artwork is very attractive and depicts the different camouflage and markings of the unit quite well.
Even better for modellers, all twelve subjects are supplied on a decal sheet in both 1/72 and 1/48 scales. Only unique markings are supplied for each aircraft - no national markings or stencils are provided.
Kagero's "VF-17 Jolly Rogers" will be a helpful and compact book for modellers. The inclusion of photos, background information, colour profiles and decals all in a single package makes this book a very tidy one-stop reference source.

Earth Science (IUGG), Media bulletins
Till next Thursday, 7 July, Australia is hosting a conference earth scientists who will be providing the most up-to-date information on the Japanese tsunami, the safety of nuclear installations, the Christchurch earthquake, Cyclone Yasi, the ash clouds and more.
Earth on the Edge is the 25th General Assembly of the International Union of Geophysics and Geodesy (IUGG) and has attracted almost 4,000 delegates from around 100 countries.
Here are a just a few of the speakers and topics:
Get an overview of the breadth of science being presented: Ray Cas, a volcanologist at Monash University and Chair of the IUGG conference organising committee.
Risk management, climate change and biofuels: Tom Beer, CSIRO and the first Australian to hold the role of President of the IUGG. Tom can also talk generally on the conference program.
Internal structure of the Earth, ocean, inland waters and climate: Anny Cazenave, French space agency CNES and deputy director of the LEGOS space geophysics and oceanography research laboratory at the Observatoire Midi-Pyrenees in Toulouse, France (http://www.academie-sciences.fr/membres/C/Cazenave_Anny_bio.htm).
Ice-sheet change in Antarctica and Greenland plus protecting out coastal communities and infrastructure: while we have made notable progress in monitoring change in the ice sheets, we are still some way off knowing how to predict the future.
And our planners are not getting the projections they need: David Vaughan, British Antarctic Survey.
David is leading the efforts to measure ice fields and deliver global sea-level rise projections for the next 200 years.
A prize for mixing
Tasmania's Dr Trevor McDougall will receive the Prince Albert 1 Medal today for his research into the role of the oceans in our planet's climate.
How oceans mix and the nature of salt water itself, are two of the key questions that Trevor is answering. are key questions in defining Dr McDougall's research is concentrated on fundamental issues in the field of ocean mixing and particularly how the known conservation equations should be properly averaged and included in ocean models.
Dr McDougall's research, on the full range of oceanic scales – from centimetres to giant (~100 km) eddies – is having a major impact on our understanding of mixing and contributing to the computer models that help us understand our changing climate.
Venus Express –what's the weather forecast for Venus today.
Dmitriy Titov was science coordinator for Venus Express, a spacecraft that's been studying the atmosphere of Venus for more than five years. He can talk about the harsh climate on Venus and its implications for our planet.
And on Friday
Prehistoric Pacific tsunamis – there's been some big ones
The Russian heatwave and other recent climate extremes
Climate engineering – can we stop climate change with geoengineering?
More on sea level rises.

TALLAHASSEE – Florida's Republican Gov. Charlie Crist defied members of his own party last week by vetoing anti-teacher legislation that would have eliminated tenure for public school teachers and gutted community-based input into public education. The veto came after massive protests organized by teachers, parents and other public school advocates.
The legislation, Senate Bill 6, was the cornerstone of a state GOP effort to restructure public education. It was couched in terms of "rewarding" teachers for improvements in student performance on standardized tests.
"We're thankful that the governor realized what some lawmakers wouldn't," said Florida Education Association President Andy Ford. "SB 6 was formulated without an ounce of input from anyone within the public school community. Teachers, administrators and parents weren't consulted and their views of this radical legislation were dismissed repeatedly by many legislators. But Governor Crist listened," Ford said in a statement.
Crist called the bill "seriously flawed" and also objected to the way in which Florida's Republican lawmakers rammed the bill through the legislature. Both the Senate bill and its House counterpart had been passed by rather close margins amid a concerted effort by the Florida Education Association to rally teachers statewide against the two bills.
Crist has been seeking the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by GOP Sen. Mel Martinez. He is facing a primary challenge from ultra-right candidate Marco Rubio, who has been embraced by Tea Party supporters and others who have long questioned Crist's commitment to their brand of conservatism. In the wake of his veto, an act in opposition to Florida's Republican leadership, many expect Crist to drop out of the Republican primary and seek the Senate seat as an independent. If he does so, recent polls show him ahead of both Rubio and Democratic party challengers.

Google Takes the Dark Path, Censors AdBlock Plus on Android
Technical Analysis by Peter Eckersley
In a shocking move, Google has recently deleted AdBlock Plus from the Android Play Store. This is hugely disappointing because it demonstrates that Google is willing to censor software and abandon its support for open platforms as soon as there's an ad-related business reason for doing so.
Until now, the Internet and software development communities have relied on Google to be safely on their side when it comes to building open platforms, encouraging innovation, and giving users maximum choice about how their computers will function. But with today's news, that commitment to openness suddenly looks much, much weaker.
Google clearly has a vested interest in preventing people from installing ad blocking software like AdBlock Plus.1 But until recently, the company did an admirable job of leaving that matter aside and letting users make their own choices about whether they wanted to hide ads on their phones and in their browsers. Google established a reputation for building tools that put the interests of their users first. This new form of censorship is the exact opposite. It is not only a betrayal of the principle of openness, but a betrayal of the trust that people put in Google when they decide to buy an Android phone.
Google's stated reason for the ban is that the Android app allegedly "interferes with or accesses another service or product in an unauthorized manner." This policy is broad, vague, and arbitrary. It isn't clear yet how far Google is going to go in censoring the Play Store. Are they just going to target ad blockers? Ad blockers are not only useful and extremely popular, but also currently the only way that Internet users can effectively protect themselves against non-consensual third party tracking. Or is Google going to follow the letter of its policy closely, in which case we would expect to see other useful privacy-enhancing technologies blocked from the Play Store, such as the apps that control the permissions of other apps (for instance, preventing the Skype app from tracking your location or the Foursquare app from grabbing the contents of your addressbook) or a hypothetical future port of HTTPS Everywhere? 2
Google may try to reply to this criticism by saying that on most (but not all) Android devices, there is still a way to tweak the system settings to allow installation of AdBlock Plus from outside of the Play Store. This is of limited reassurance. Making it hard to install useful software will have the concrete effect of greatly reducing how many people actually succeed when they try to do so. This is the kind of manipulative attack against openness that we've learned to expect from Apple, but we're extremely distressed to see it from Google.
For developers on the Android and other Google teams who are reading this, we urge you to rethink this terrible decision. Stand up for users. Don't let Android take the dark path. Don't be evil.
1. Although it's worth noting that AdBlock Plus isn't hostile to all advertising-based business models and only blocks a fraction of Google's ads by default
2. There is currently no HTTPS Everywhere port for Android because the OS lacks an adequate API for implementing it elegantly on non-rooted devices. Certainly, those apps could be argued to "intefere with other apps" just as much as AdBlock Plus does. From a user's point of view, the question is not whether an app alters the behavior of other apps, but whether the app does what the user wanted it to do. In the case of AdBlock Plus, the answer is clearly "yes". Actually, ABP on Android is flawed on non-rooted devices because it doesn't interfere with other apps as much as the user would want it to. That's a result of restrictions that Google has built into the Android API.

Billionaire Elon Musk says Twitter can be an "incredibly valuable service to the world," a global forum where ideas and debates flourish. Yet, much of what he has done since taking over the company suggests that he doesn't understand how to accomplish this, doesn't appreciate the impact of his decisions...

The Filter Mandate Bill Is a Privacy and Security Mess
Among its many other problems, the Strengthening Measures to Advance Rights Technologies Copyright Act would mandate a slew of filtering technologies that online service providers must "accommodate." And that mandate is broad, so poorly-conceived, and so technically misguided that it will inevitably create serious privacy and security risks. Since 1998,...

Court's Decision Upholding Disastrous Texas Social Media Law Puts The State, Rather Than Internet Users, in Control of Everyone's Speech Online
The First Amendment and the freedom of speech and expression it provides has helped make the internet what it is today: a place for diverse communities, support networks, and forums of all stripes to share information and connect people. Individuals and groups exercise their constitutional right to host and moderate...

General Monitoring is not the Answer to the Problem of Online Harms
Even if you think that online intermediaries should be more proactive in detecting, deprioritizing, or removing certain user speech, the requirements on intermediaries to review all content before publication—often called "general monitoring" or "upload filtering"—raises serious human rights concerns, both for freedom of expression and for privacy.General monitoring is problematic...

Developing guts to pour my heart out to him-someday!
You should have known not to tempt air because it causes more brutal destruction than any other element. Harmonizing with the rest, be sure to know that it always finds a way.
You can see it with water to cause hurricanes.
You can see it with fire to burn down all that lies in its path.
It can simply blow everything from its path through tornadoes.
Even parts of the earth it carries with itself.
If I cannot have it then neither can you.
Does she know that in her absence you kissed a million times the stars on my lips to forget the darkness she left behind?
Does she know that you still think of me when the clock strikes 3 and you're lonely?
Does she know that a thousand times you cheated her by just having me in your thoughts?
Does she know that I granted you the smile you wear?
Does she know that I claimed you mine without a touch?
Does she know that I am a disease thats implanted in your heart, forever to bleed?
Does she know that you will never be able to forget me?
I hope she knows. I hope you know too. Trust me darling, I'm the glow you can't get rid of that easily.
I kept looking at this person in the mirror which was now a soul instead of a body on display. Drunk and high, exhibiting the true colors it possessed. My soul. My body long gone.
My soul looked inside to search for all the secrets it hid, all the colors it didn't show and all the stories it cherished untold.
I saw a person who was at war with himself. Mentally torn and dejected from its own being. Striving for a better future to put the pain of past away, tucked it under the rug and pretended that it was not there.
The soul in the mirror had no answer but just wept at the state of what the body had become.
The soul in the mirror and the body on display started talking. They talked in poetry, short verses and pieces of prose.
The soul swayed like a pendulum with the body, they both moved parallel that night under the starlit sky and the silver moon.
They danced until they became one and then went different ways.
The soul to sky and the body to the earth.
It is a wonderful feeling to be loved. To have someone.
And not crave the presence of anyone but yourself.

In the vertebrate retina, visual signals are segregated into parallel ON and OFF pathways, which provide information for light increments and decrements. The segregation is first evident at the level of the ON and OFF bipolar cells and it apparently remains as signals propagate to higher brain visual centers. A fundamental question in visual neuroscience is how these two parallel pathways function: are they independent from each other or do they interact somehow? In the latter case, what kinds of mechanisms are involved and what are the consequences from this cross-talk? This review summarizes current knowledge about the types of interactions between the ON and OFF channels in nonmammalian and mammalian retina. Data concerning the ON-OFF interactions in distal retina revealed by recording of single bipolar cell activity and electroretinographic ON (b-wave) and OFF (d-wave) responses are presented. Special emphasis is put on the ON-OFF interactions in proximal retina and their dependence on the state of light adaptation in mammalian retina. The involvement of the GABAergic and glycinergic systems in the ON-OFF crosstalk is also discussed.

I know you in the quick catching of your breath the tears held back too long grief, reaching back in history for anything to cling to because this loss, though expected, was sneaky with just enough hope to be crushable and a need yes, a need to be strong.
You know me in the way my tears follow yours in the knowing that this space is safe whenever we share air there is no such thing as too emotional too needy too sensitive we know the power of vulnerability and the outcome of avoidance.
The air around us vibrates with the pain of your loss. Let it out then breathe in the cooler, fresher air of healing.

The story starts in Genesis 17, when God affirms his covenant with Abraham and promises him that he will be the father of many nations. Obviously, in order for this to happen, there had to be descendants to carry on the lineage. Abraham and Sarah were told by God that they would have a child, but Sarah thought she was too old to bear children. Consequently, Sarah sent her servant Hagar, a foreigner, to "lie" with Abraham, and Hagar became pregnant; ultimately, she gave birth to Abraham's first child, Ishmael. Animosity developed between Sarah and Hagar; and finally, Abraham banished Hagar and her son, Ishmael, from the household. Hagar, banished from her home, ends up being told by God that her son Ishmael will be blessed with a nation, as Ishmael was a son of Abraham.
But God also clearly articulated that the blessing of the inheritance would come through the offspring of Abraham and Sarah; and as Sarah was already well beyond her childbearing years, God showed His miraculous ability to bless Abraham by providing them a son, Isaac. Isaac was the person who became the second Patriarch, and through his offspring, Jacob and Esau, we eventually are led to Joseph and his brothers; ultimately leading to Kind David and Christ. And since we all know that Christ reigns supreme, and is eternal, God fulfilled his promise to Abraham that he would become the father of many nations and that his descendants would, in reality through Christ, reign forever.
Of course, with the arrival of the earthly ministry of Christ, and the creation of His "church" as He told Peter in Matthew 16:18, many of the Jews eventually converted to Christianity. So, through Abraham, we have the Arab nations (through the line of Hagar), Jewish (through Abraham and Sarah themselves) and Christianity all tracing their roots to a common ancestor, Abraham. What an incredible story!
However, there are several sticking points depending on your viewpoint. While Christians and Jews trace their heritage through Isaac, technically Abraham's second son, Islam stands firm that Ishmael was the oldest son, and was the true recipient of the blessing. In fact, Abraham and Ishmael were both circumcised on the same day, before Isaac, so this adds fuel to the argument that Ishmael is the true heir. But God, in a demonstration of His supreme power, many times passes over the eldest in favor of the second child to bestow His blessing. For example, Esau was older than Jacob, but Jacob received the blessing, and this has been demonstrated countless times throughout history and the Scripture. Also, many Muslims believe that Abraham wrongly banished Hagar and her son; but that God still blessed Ishmael, strengthening the argument of Ishmael's legitimacy as the heir.
Did you read the last line? They lived in hostility – and that means toward all their bothers, including the twelve tribes and all their descendants, through today. So there you have it – a summary of the story of Ishmael and the tribes that descended from him. And, as an additional point of interest, there is no real reference to Ishmael's life after this verse. However, the story continues with the lineage of Isaac and the generations of his family proceed toward the birth of Christ. It should be noted that the Arab nations believe that Ishmael was the ancestor of Mohammed, long considered a major prophet and founder of modern day Islam.
So my encouragement tonight is that God has a plan of succession. And we can't control what God has in mind for the people of the earth. What we do know is that the family blessing bypassed Ishmael and his descendants. And this has obviously angered a segment of the world population for thousands of years. But this is not our call to change what God has decided. And my prayer is that we, as Christians, will remain faithful to the plans God has in place. And while we may not be able to embrace the tenets of Islam, perhaps this lesson will make it a little easier for you to understand why there is such hatred in the world for Christians and Jews alike from many members of the Islamic community. Not that Christians and Jews don't have their own disagreements about the deity of Jesus Christ, but that's another story….

Q: Why doesn't the Stack Exchange store support PayPal? I just bought two mugs in the Stack Exchange Shop.
It would have been nice to be able to pay with PayPal.
Is there a reason it is not supported?
Credit card companies charge a fee for using the card for international payment, PayPal does not; that's why I'd prefer PayPal.

A: Stack Exchange currently only accepts credit cards.  However, they are using the Shopify service, which allows multiple payment types, including paypal.
http://www.shopify.com/faq#customer-payment-methods
Stack Exchange will have to create a business paypal account and provide that information to shopify in order to start collecting payments via paypal.  Note, however, that they may have better rates through their current credit card processor than they would through paypal, so there may be an accounting decision here to specifically avoid paypal.
While they used paypal it early on for careers subscriptions, they have since incorporated and have a different business legal and accounting structure.  Their previous paypal accounts may not be usable for business.

A: It's an accounting issue. Essentially, taking Paypal as another payment method creates additional overhead that isn't worth it for the volume of sales that we currently have on that store.
-- source: I'm the CFO at Stack Exchange.

A: How about...

Trade your reputation for Store/Shop items...All the buying goodness without "bank accounts" or "credit cards" or "money" :)
If this were to be taken seriousy, perhaps your store rep credit is based off recently gained rep. However, it's a good thing you're not selling Porsche's in there...fair use policy?


If you have skype installed you can select the link below to call Temper Domestic Violence Ltd.
Domestic Violence and or abuse. We run courses / groups at weekends 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. in North West London and in Birmingham for people who are violent and or aggressive and or abusive with a partner or former partner and who want help to change, or for people who have been abusive and need to address their behaviour. It takes 2 weekends to complete the work. The weekends are usually 3 to 4 weeks apart.
In 1995/6 4.9% of domestic abuse was recognised as "by women". Now at least 19.7% of domestic violence is recognised as by women. Either the original statistics were a massive understatement or women's violence has increased by 400% in the intervening years!
All counsellors have been RELATE trained and have been further trained by this organisation for 25 days. BAC or BASRT or similar membership and accreditation are required.
We are focused almost entirely on Domestic Violence and abuse, sometimes this is popularly called anger management but our focus is very much more on regulating 8 primary emotions, emotional regulation..
Now more than 95% of our clients are men, previously between 12.5 and 15% of our clients were females.
The Duluth model in America has very largely failed with court mandated men to demonstrate any positive outcomes - "Partner Abuse" will give you the scientific data for the main reasons that it fails. In the UK RESPECT is bent on proving that Duluth works, despite the outcomes of their flagship project in London who could only claim that 22 men had successful outcomes - from the 230 men that approached them!
In other words 208 men in that year very largely wasted their time! The CEO of DVIP - The Domestic Violence Prevention Project, no the only remaining RESPECT accredited project in London said on BBC radio Northampton: "Sometimes as many as 25% of the men make it through." Does that sound like an obstacle race? Or does it sound as if he regrets that even those 25% make it through.
The fact that DVIP have not managed to engage with the vast majority of men, or even addressed any of the issues involved suggests that they are actually not interested in doing so. That stance would fit exactly with the feminist mantra which permitted their existence in 1989. "A violent man will never change," were the very words uttered by Ms Sandra Horley of Refuge in September 1994.
Changes since then: On average 2 women per week are killed by a partner or former partner.
Changed to: 2 women per week are killed by a partner or former partner. ONS says 78.
A woman will be assaulted 35 times before coming to the attention of the authorities.
4.7% of DV is by women.
Changed to 19.7% of DV is by women! A 400% increase!
The focus in this agenda needs to be the safety of children, not just the safety of women . Children are potentially at risk from both parents. Of course when people declare themselves to be victims of domestic violence they need to be believed and their claims need to be carefully explored. When children's safety is in question a healthy scepticism needs to be engaged and the focus needs to be entirely on the safety of the child, and not potentially compromised by a focus only on " the safety of the woman".
The organisation is a charity. To remain sustainable our trustees decided we needer to charge for the service: £30 towards the cost of an initial visit, whenever possible face-to-face and otherwise by skype or face-time, and £480 for a course. £240 must be paid prior to the allocation of a place, the balance may be paid over a longer period of time. There is a special rate for those on benefits. We will provide a certificate of completion for all those people who complete satisfactorily.
The courts and social services may commission the work. Charges are £120 for the initial meeting, £580 for the course work and £380 for a report. These figures reflect the additional work and reporting required.
We have had to recognise that children have been mainly disadvantaged by our earlier insistence about reports needing to be sponsored by an authority. We will now produce reports for the courts at a cost of between £75 and £175 depending upon the complexity.
Work to stop or reduce violence in families.
Most cases of domestic violence are not about seeking to achieve power and control over a female, a wife or a partner. A main focus on "power and control" addresses the problems of less than 20% of men, about the same percentage of women who have problems managing their behaviours, according to Women's Aid, whose figures are about 13% lower than ONS.
In line with the strategy of preventing violence to women and girls the female abusers are sent on the Freedom programme, for female victims of domestic abuse! The major abusers of girls are ........ ?
And the major abusers of boys are...... ?
Behaviour is driven by emotions. Emotions precede thoughts. See Ledoux, 1996.
A "working model" of primary declarative human emotions is linked into our website along with a great deal of material of a political nature which is openly critical of the current policies, particularly those focused on separating couples willy-nilly.
The effectiveness of RESPECT's accredited projects has been very seriously undermined by a call by Dr Louise Dixon for the abandonment of the accreditation process because it is based on feminist ideology rather than scientifically sustainable evidence.
The Centre for Social Justice concluded in a paper in 2012 that the Duluth based / styled intervention courses should all be closed and a complete re-start should be made.
The Ministry of Justice paper 2014 pointed out the sheer lack of effectiveness from Duluth style work.
The Mirabal project 2015 commissioned by RESPECT researched outcomes from 4 RESPECT accredited projects, no doubt running at least 7 projects. Presented in percentages in the executive summary the figures look quite encouraging. Read the main report, pages 8 and 9 and you'll see that those percentages are based on 36 men. The RESPECT accredited projects have still not learnt how to counter the criticism of the Joseph Rowntree sponsored research of DVIP in 1998. By contrast our two half projects completed work with 56 men and women in 2016.
The fact that CAFCASS, charged with the safety of children, and in the face of so much contradictory evidence only recognises projects accredited by RESPECT is frankly amazing, and it is really a minor political scandal! Now part of the Ministry of Justice, Cafcass has obviously not yet read or digested the "Ministry of Justice paper" .
What is the impact on reoffending? The most recent systematic review of US evidence indicates that the Duluth Model appears to have no effect on recidivism.154 However, this review also identified substantial reductions in domestic violence reoffending by offenders who had attended other interventions. These interventions varied widely in their approach (including cognitive behavioural therapy, relationship enhancement and group couples counselling), and the reviewers were therefore unable to make recommendations about specific preferred alternatives to the Duluth Model.
The above and the experiences of Social Services and councils will no doubt account for the sheer lack of accredited programmes. Whereas there appeared to be about 26 accredited projects a few years ago it now appears as if there are between 10 and 12.

Schlager: "Love trumps hate"
Kate Schlager,
"Love trumps hate."
This slogan — which liberals have taken as one of the primary forms of resistance to the highly intolerant, and albeit disgraceful behaviors and rhetoric of the current administration — is meant to encapsulate the left's commitment to love, compassion, empathy and, most importantly, tolerance.
We live in an age that now seems defined by polarization and the emergence of long-held racist ideals. Ones that we had hoped were far in the past. (Though many knew were not after experiencing unthinkable experiences, such as the loss of loved ones by police and deportation of family members.) Thus, this notion of "love trumps hate" seems almost crucial in putting forth attitudes and rhetoric that can directly challenge the opposing reality, or at least lay the groundwork to do so.
Therefore, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions speaking on this campus feels to many — myself included — a direct threat to the mission that those who oppose the behaviors of the current administration have committed themselves to. From saying racial slurs to supporting legislation that I am personally opposed to, Sessions could not be farther from a person I find admirable in politics.
Despite all of my own personal feelings towards Sessions, I did not attend the protests that occurred as he was speaking in Lutkin Hall. While I am always quick to defend the efficacy of protest and the freedom that we have as U.S. citizens to speak up when we see injustice, the approach that we witnessed on Tuesday night — one that in recent years seems to be quite commonplace — is one that I find to be completely counter to the core beliefs of the Democratic party. It is ultimately a more problematic rather than effective version of protest.
As I walked past Lutkin on Tuesday night hearing people banging on its doors and shouting "Fuck Jeff Sessions," I honestly felt quite disheartened and conflicted. How was I meant to reconcile my belief in freedom of speech for all individuals with my own moral qualms with Sessions' message?
Just as any other American citizen has the inalienable right to assemble, express opinions and expose injustices within the highly flawed government, so too does Sessions — and other people like him who hold beliefs different from our own. Furthermore, the protesters who gathered outside of Lutkin on Tuesday night were completely within their right to raise their voices and perform one of the ultimate forms of civic duty through their assembly. The fault in the events that transpired on Tuesday night lay in the hatred and aggression that clouded the most important parts of a protest: why they were protesting and what did they hope to gain, aside from expressing their indignation.
In addition to the more boisterous protests intending to disrupt the event, there was also a group of student protestors assembled for the Night of Action at Northwestern University, a part-protest, part-civic-engagment event. To me, this group of students represented a far more compelling way of expressing their opposition to Sessions by encouraging people to register to vote and actively promoting the platforms that these students believed in.
What has been at stake in the Trump presidency, and what continues to hang treacherously by a thread, is the integrity of our democracy and the freedoms that we espouse as Americans. For those whose lives are touched directly by the despicable policies and racist, sexist and generally bigoted language of the Trump presidency, the only way to resist may seem to be through antagonism that forces leaders to listen. However, the demonization of the other side, for both Republicans and Democrats alike, has fostered such a hostile and toxic political environment that it is easy to forget the true meaning of "love trumps hate" amidst this antagonistic and chaotic social climate.
So, if we really want to inspire change and encourage resistance, we must ourselves demonstrate the power of meaningful and unified action, bolstered by a dedication to the love and tolerance that are markedly absent in the current administration. Instead of demonizing, yelling and expressing our anger, we must vote, support the people who give us faith in our government or organizations with a mission we stand by, mobilize those around us to care and inspire those around us to act. If we want to see change, we cannot just yell and bang our fists.

Cavs' Ricky Rubio Says His Comeback Is 'Not Just Today'
Joy Love January 13, 2023 2 min read
PORTLAND — More than a year after tearing his ACL in December 2021 ended his pre-season, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio He was back on the court on Thursday, helping the Cavaliers to a 119-113 come-from-behind win over the host Portland Trail Blazers.
Rubio played 1 minute, saw 10 minutes of action off the bench, scored nine points on 3-of-5 shooting and grabbed three rebounds.
"It felt good," Rubio said of his first match. "It felt weird at first, especially the first time, but then it felt like it was going back to normal. Of course the rhythm and all that stuff would come, but today it was a lot of feelings. Working hard all year just to be healthy and grateful to be out there and play basketball again." other."
Rubio's teammates in Cleveland were equally excited to see him back on the court. He was a key part of the Cavaliers' fast start last season, but was traded to the Indiana Pacers during his rehabilitation before returning to Cleveland as a free agent, citing the team's chemistry as a reason to return.
An informal trade also reunited Rubio with newcomer Cavaliers Donovan Mitchellteammate for the first two seasons of Mitchell's career with the Utah Jazz.
"I couldn't stop smiling," said Mitchell. "It felt like a rookie year. For me, it's just a complete moment, but it's great to see him there after the AFC Champions League. Also, he scored two big goals for us, leading the attack."
At first, Cleveland coach JB Bickerstaff told reporters he planned to face Rubio in two periods in the first half. Because Rubio was on the court less than six minutes, Bickerstaff was able to bring him back for a third period in the third quarter.

Afterwards, Rubio said he feels better physically because his cardio training has been more challenging than his cardio.
The Cavaliers were cautious about the schedule for Rubio, who said he was prepared to play "for the long haul." He said he understands that long-term mentality of a team that improved to 27-16 with a win on Thursday, good for fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
"I didn't work just to get back today," said Rubio. "I've worked hard to come back stronger than ever. It's not just today. I'm looking forward to a strong season, not just a comeback season."
However, Rubio can appreciate the milestone in his first NBA game in 380 days.
"It's been frustrating since then," he said, "but I'm finally playing basketball, playing the game I love. Being there, that's how I speak, I will say, with my game and how I share that chemistry with [my teammates]. "

City reviewing data for city-wide safe, comfortable bike trail plan
Last updated 9/25/2019 at 9:17pm
The Sept. 16 meeting of the Zone 3 Public Safety Council began with a presentation on a city-wide bike trail plan.
Kristin Saunders, RA, principal transportation planner, City of Pittsburgh, Dept. of Mobility and Infrastructure, said the city's bike plan has been in the works since 2016.
Its vision statement is: "The Pittsburgh bike plan will build a safe, comfortable, and convenient bike network for all." Its goals are: safety, accessible, inclusive, usable, and adaptable.
In 2017, outreach open houses were held to solicit answers to questions like, "Where are you biking? Where do you want to bike? What prevents you from biking?"
In 2018, a Wikimap was created to ask respondents how they would connect to proposed destinations; provide policy recommendations; and to present a review of project prioritization.
Today, the city is reviewing the route map; developing text of a bike plan; releasing draft; and getting to work on the plan.
The plan outline will begin with Chapter 1, "Bicycling in Pittsburgh," and feature vision/goals and what biking is like right now. Chapter 2's "Bicycle Network" will address connected bike network, urban trail network, bikes and transit, emerging mobility, and support facilities.
The Design, as described in Chapter 3, is for all ages and abilities. It consists of neighborway, separated bike lane, shared use trail, and intersection treatments. "Neighborway" refers to looking for local, low-traffic streets, and where people walking and biking feel welcome.
Chapter 4 is about "Programs and Partnerships," while Chapter 5 is on "Parking and Implementation." Ms. Saunders said issues specific to Pittsburgh include topography, winter, and bridges and narrow streets.
Bicycle user types are "interested but concerned," which is 51 to 56 percent of the total population. "Somewhat confident" defines 5 to 9 percent of the population, while "highly confident" describes 4 to 7 percent of the population. The latter group is comfortable riding with traffic, and will use roads without bike lanes.
"We are designing for the 'interested but concerned'," Ms. Saunders said.
To a question about bike laws, she said only two bikers can ride in a pair at most. An attendee said she was behind five bikers across a road, causing her to be late for an appointment.
In public safety reports, a Knoxville resident said there appeared to be an increase in robberies in her neighborhood.
Zone 3 Commander Karen Dixon said there were 22 robberies throughout the zone from Aug. 1 to Sept. 12. Of those 22 robberies, five occurred in Knoxville. The trend is multiple actors with guns involved.
"We are very aware of the activity," the commander said.
An attendee commented about youngsters out at all hours on street corners.
Until we get these parents to get control "these kids are going to run amok," she said.
Another resident said she wanted to thank the Zone 3 officers for an "amazing" response time when she reported a man jumping over a gate and onto her property at 5 a.m. The man is a suspect in numerous home invasions.
Public safety outreach coordinator Jay Gilmer reported that Pittsburgh's Fall 2019 Student Police Academy will be begin Oct. 10 from 6 to 9 p.m. The program will be held each Wednesday for 10 weeks at Point Park University, 201 Wood St. Registration closes Oct. 4.
High school youth will experience the highlights of police training and be taught the basics of criminal law, search and seizure, and more. The program is free.
For more information, contact John Tokarski at john.tokarski@pittsburghpa.gov, or call 412-255-2117.
In the treasurer's report, the public safety council has $364.23 in its bank account.
Two new block watches are organizing in Knoxville. Another one may be starting in the South Side.
In upcoming events/meetings:
"Citizens Response to an Active Threat" will be held on Oct. 7, 6:30-8:30 p.m., at 25 Carrick Ave. The presenter will be Pittsburgh Police Sgt. Eric Kroll. The free event is sponsored by the Carrick/Overbrook Community Block Watch in partnership with the Zone 3 Public Safety Council.
On Oct. 16, 5:30-8:30 p.m., a City-Wide Public Safety Meeting will be held at St. Pius X Byzantine Catholic Church, 2336 Brownsville Rd. The event is hosted by the Zone 3 Public Safety Council. Light dinner buffet 5:30-6:30. The theme will be "Back to Basics," with various city departments sharing details of what they do.
"Bring your inquiring minds," Mr. Gilmer said.
The next Zone 3 meeting will be its end-of-the-year meeting at 6 p.m. on Nov. 18 at Knoxville Library.
There will be no December meeting.

What emerges is a well-researched documentation of how sedition laws are currently being used in India and its implications for free speech and the spirit of a liberal democracy.
The author, an assistant professor at the School of Law, Governance and Citizenship, Ambedkar University, opens the book with a February 1, 2017, incident at the University of California-Berkeley where mob violence erupted on campus with 1,500 protesters demanding the cancellation of a lecture by Milo Yiannopoulos. The British author, notorious for his "racist and anti-Islamic views", was ultimately forbidden from delivering his public lecture.
This led to "a chain of reactions on desirability and limits of freedom of expression within American democracy -- the Left-leaning intellectuals and politicians were accused of allowing mob violence while the cancellation of Yiannopoulos' lecture also conveyed that only liberals had the right to free speech".
Singh then shifts her focus to 2016 in India when "a series of criminal cases were registered involving the act of sloganeering in support of the right to self-determination of people in Kashmir". She elaborates at length on the fiasco that unfolded at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) after some of its student leaders were charged and arrested for sedition. But what leads Singh to draw a comparison between Berkeley incident and what happened at JNU?
"The incident at Berkeley," she elaborates, "presents... a case, in which restrictions on free speech was demanded and justified in the name of protecting what is largely called the 'liberal-democratic' values from illiberal political opinions. In the Indian case, however, the restriction on the right to freedom of expression of individuals was justified in the name of coagulating state security".
These two separate incidents that took place in two different countries serve as the two pillars on which the larger framework of "Sedition In Liberal Democracies" is placed -- the debate over the centrality of free speech and restrictions on the same. The author is quick to remind us that these concerns gain prominence only in liberal democracies as an authoritarian state does not recognise the individual as "a right-bearing citizen" and therefore "is inappropriate for any debate on freedom to take place".
So how does the author describe a liberal democracy? "A fraught combination of competing tendencies and traditions, since it attempts to bring together liberalism and democracy, on the one hand, and the imperatives of democracy and the state, on the other."
The book largely deals with those forms of expressions within liberal democracies that are uttered against the authority of the state. The state of freedom of expression that citizens have against the authority therefore becomes crucial.
A scholarly offering, which has been sufficiently footnoted and carries a Bibliography section, is ideal for anybody who wishes to delve deeper into the very concept of liberal democracies and understand how the concept of sedition is different on paper than how it is perceived by citizens or applied by authorities. The book looks at sedition laws in its current form and uses it as a lens to probe the fate of political speech in liberal democracies.

Social dating has taken online dating platforms to a new level. It offers a lot of flexibility as a digital dating option and it allows the system to be delivered in the form of an app, a website or even a specialized social media platform.
Developments like Tinder have taken the world by storm and they're a clear illustration of the above claim.
Today, Tinder has over 50 million active users, it has been downloaded over 100 million times and the number of daily swipes exceeds 1.6 billion. If you have a good idea and the right tools at your disposal, you can easily become the next Tinder developer.
To develop a clever and intuitive social dating app, you will have to use the right social dating software.
Social dating software and scripts are created for the needs of developers and professionals interested in launching their own project in the field of digital matchmaking.
What dating software and apps bring to the table is flexibility. Gone are the days of generic online dating sites. Today, you have to give your visitors and subscribers something extra to win their loyalty. This something extra comes in the form of special functionalities and a user-friendly design.
Choosing the right social dating software is the first and probably the most important step for the execution of your project. If you do simple online research, you'll come across dozens of options. You will need to examine these possibilities side by side to find out which one is best suited to your needs.
The aim of this website is to simplify the process. Here, you will find multiple social dating script suggestions that can be downloaded and employed effortlessly.
Building your own social dating website begins with the development of the right concept. Do you know your target audience and the needs of these people? How will your app be different from other social dating options out there?
Various communication options like messaging within the platform, live chat, video chat, etc.
These are just a few of the options to look for in social dating software. The more specialized your project is, the more distinctive your requirements will be. This is the main reason why you need to have a fully-fleshed idea before moving on to identifying the right software.
OpenSource CMS is a centralized database giving you access to an array of options. It gives you a chance to try out some of the best development tools out there without needless marketing hype.
Take a look at the social dating software category and explore the apps side by side. Doing such analysis will highlight the features that you need and the ways in which they miss the mark.
Customer reviews and testimonials can also be incredibly beneficial. Learning from the experience of others makes a lot of sense, especially when it comes to usability and reliability. Look for genuine reviews that are detailed and addressing both the pros and the cons. Excessively positive reviews are usually drafted by professionals for the purpose of marketing.
Finally, pay attention to the release date and the current version of the software you're interested in. Frequent upgrades will help you rest assured that the software you're interested in will give you the desired results without jeopardizing the integrity of your project.

There is nothing wrong with doing things that don't make us *happy* (ex: working hard on that social justice cause, running those long miles, studying for that test, always being border-line overcommitted like myself). Finding meaning in our work can make it all worth it.

World Creators Summit: Copyright, Innovation, and Ending the Digital Divide
For two days each year, government officials, publishing and music execs, and tech companies get together at the World Creators Summit to discuss the future of copyright and creativity. The next five, fifty, and one hundred years of entertainment are on the table, and open for debate. Can copyright and innovation work together? Can the divide between rights holders, technologies, and empowered consumers (ever) be bridged? We joined Mark Mulligan's panel to talk about models for making our shared digital future more sustainable. Here's what we learned.
Shift the focus: build for the Internet's creative community, not just its consumers.
The shift from analog to digital distribution radically changed the creative economy – moving it from a system based on scarcity, to one based on abundance. Content is now available everywhere. Storefronts and transaction opportunities, however, are still centralized. Here's a place where digital innovators can, and should, collaborate with rights holders. Infringement happens because an effective online marketplace for content hasn't been built. We have work to do. And we have to work together.
End innovation silos: partner early. Partner often.
That's Mark Mulligan's common-sense second point. The digital divide will be closed when we close it. Shared interest and structured relationships need to be established at the outset. Emerging digital services aren't proven vendors yet; risk is better addressed via equity stakes, versus advances. And relationships can't end there. They need to be end-to-end. We need cross-functional working groups. We need regular dialogue between content and tech stakeholders. Content is moving at the speed of culture. It's up to us on the ground to be proactive about generating solutions.
Flexible licensing models: create rights systems for beta culture.
Two of Mulligan's proposed models for 2.0 copyright involve licensing models designed for digital agility. While a digital service is still in start-up mode, rights owners could bias a large share of license fees towards equity. In this scenario, both content, and the innovation designed to serve it, would be protected. Alternatively, rights holders could implement beta-licenses: limited licensing frameworks designed to vet the technology, and the fee structure associated with it. Could flexible, iterative licensing systems – minimal viable copyright – help us adapt to the new landscape of digital content?
We've spent the past two days, and much of recent memory, in the middle of a vast debate about copyright and digital innovation; the rights of content creators, the rights of digital makers, and the rights of fans. But the truth is: we're not in the middle. We're at the very beginning. We're only in the early (early, early) stages of defining the future of entertainment.
At BitTorrent, we've been partnering with rights holders, artists, labels, studios, and fans to solve for the issue of content sustainability – building new transaction and licensing opportunities via projects like the BitTorrent Bundle. If you've got an idea about how to make digital content more sustainable, then we want to work with you, too. Get in touch here.

Neo Expressionism
Site Map » Art » Neo Expressionism
Neo-expressionism was a style of modern painting that emerged in the late 1970s and dominated the art market until the mid-1980s. It developed in Europe as a reaction against the conceptual and minimalistic art of the 1970s.
Neo-expressionists returned to portraying recognizable objects, such as the human body (although sometimes in a virtually abstract manner), in a rough and violently emotional way using vivid colours and banal colour harmonies. The movement was overtly inspired by the so-called German Expressionist painters - such as George Grosz - and other emotive artists such as James Ensor and Edvard Munch.

Now open C: drive and let me know if there is a folder named sysprep on there?
if found rename it and then update McAfee.
let me know the progress..
Could you run MVT and post the session id too?
