I know, when someone says that, it usually is about the money. I can't help but think there have been times when, as a country, we've made some really terrific decisions that weren't driven by the almighty dollar. Places like Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon and many other protected conservation areas were set aside by previous generations for the enjoyment of future generations including our own. But in most cases there were competing ideas about what to do with these landscapes. There were proposals to dam the Grand Canyon for hydropower and to tap Yellowstone for geothermal energy and of course we all know about efforts to drill the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil. In each case we – and I include the politicians in this – exercised restraint and thought about the long-term.
As the Senate gets ready to debate the Climate Security Act there will of course be lots of talk about the money. You'll hear the bill will cost too much. That reducing our emissions will hurt manufacturing jobs and lead to higher electricity costs for consumers. Some of these arguments will be made by lobbyists working for companies like Exxon, which just claimed $10.9 billion in quarterly profits. Other claims will be made for Senator Jim Inhofe who collected $216,200 in campaign contributions from the oil and gas industry and $135,600 from electric utilities over the past six years.
What I really hope gets discussed on the floor of the Senate is what our commitment is to our children. Mine are two and four years old respectively and under a competing proposal to be offered by Senator George Voinovich (R-OH) they'd graduate from college by the time the time we do anything to reduce emissions. Our kids deserve better of course and the Climate Security Act promises to bequeath to them among the greatest gifts given by one generation to another: freedom from our addiction to oil, an economic rebirth built on clean renewable technologies and abundant fish and wildlife all across the country.

Magda Herzberger's Blog
My book, Survival, is based on my experiences in the Holocaust. You can find it available on Amazon.com, or read more about it on my website.
"'Write, Jewish Children!' ('Schreibts, Jidische Kinder!') were supposedly Simon Dubnov's, the famous Jewish historian's, last words from the death-train before it left the railway station of Riga."
Survival is an autobiography in which the author relates her experiences and her struggle to survive during her captivity as a young, 18-year-old girl in the three German concentration camps: Auschwitz, Bremen, and Bergen-Belsen.
"Before us now is her 'magnum opus' called Survival. Magda Herzberger describes in her book the fight between life and death. It is a 'death-dance' (known as 'Totentanz'). The naked reality of the death camps is before our eyes. Total lack of compassion, inhumanity, and despotic harshness is the daily reality of her and her fellow inmates. Magda Herzberger looks in vain for human understanding among her captors. In that unbelievable hell, she finds human voices only in her sensitive heart. She prays. She believes in a better future."
Survival gives an insight into the author's childhood and adolescent years, where the concept of anything like this happening was beyond belief. The reader finds out about her family background and the historical events that took place in her native city in Romania/Hungary during that time. The political changes which occurred during World War II played a crucial role in her destiny and the fate of the Jewish people.
Magda also conveys how she coped with the grief and pain of losing so many members of her family, including her father, in the Holocaust. Then she speaks about her gradual recovery from the wounds of the Holocaust and her ultimate reunion with her mother.
Magda's poetry is included in the book.
All quotes are from the Foreword by Dr. Moshe Carmilly-Weinberger.

Transcript From 1980 Magda Herzberger: My New Book
Hello. I have a new book out called Transcript of 1980, Magda Herzberger Interview by the Wisconsin Historical Society. It also includes 9 hours of oral history on a mp3 cd that is included with the book.
Also, please make sure to visit my website, http://www.magdaherzberger.com, for upcoming new books and announcements.
When the first oral history interviews with Holocaust survivors appeared, they tended to focus only on wartime experiences. Archivist Barbara Kaiser of the Wisconsin Historical Society thought this approach was flawed, since it artificially isolated the horrors of the Holocaust from the rest of the narrator's life.
So Kaiser designed a series of interviews with Wisconsin survivors that discussed not only the Holocaust but also their family history, their childhoods, their post-war lives, their experiences as immigrants, and their opinions of America. In 1979 and 1980, she arranged 22 of these interviews, including this one with Magda Herzberger. All the Wisconsin interviews are online in their entirety at wisconsinhistory.org.
Magda's is one of the most remarkable. It opens with her descriptions of a loving family in the Jewish community of Cluj, Romania, during the 1930s. It recounts her teenage years, when Hitler's rising shadow spread eastward and her adolescent pleasures gave way to anti-Semitic persecution. Then, at an age when most young people are enjoying high school, Magda endured the nightmare of Auschwitz, performed slave labor in Bremen while Allied bombs fell all around her, and barely
escaped death at Bergen-Belsen.
But this interview is more than a Holocaust memoir. Magda also describes returning home, starting medical school, and falling in love. She explains how, witnessing the rise of Stalinism, she and her husband fled their native land for Palestine, only to be imprisoned by the British. She relates how
they endured more than a year in an internment camp on Cyprus.
She provides eyewitness account of the birth of Israel and of starting a new life in the United States in 1957. She shares her feelings about her adopted country, about parenting and family life, about being Jewish in a small town in the Midwest, and about deciding to speak and write publicly about the Holocaust.

Gnosis metaphysics
The Symbolism of Solar System
In another post, "World As Divine Symbol", we devoted ourselves to the symbolic nature of the phenomenal world, that this world is essentially a symbol pointing us to something beyond itself, to something that stands behind and supports appearances, something itself not an appearance, and hence itself not subject to impermanence.
If the world is a symbol, then all its phenomena in their particularity must have symbolic significance. These phenomena communicate to us by way of signs and symbols our essential relationship with that immutable principle of all things. The cosmic phenomena constituting the macrocosm communicate to us the possibilities inherent in microcosm, namely man, possibilities to be realized through work and contemplation. In this post we focus on the symbolism of our solar system and how it manifests the various modalities by which man is related to truth.
Sun is the source and the principle, the center of creation. It is that source from which all things arise and around which all things revolve. We know that all the planets that are now revolving the sun are constituted by the elements created at the heart of sun. Not only all planets came out of the sun, but the earth as the one special planet hosting life, bearing the sons of the Sun, constantly depends on sun for the subsistence of life on it.
Sun is made of light and the most basic elements, hydrogen and helium. Light is the source of all life. The cosmos as a whole is an ocean of energy, and light is the basic constituent of all energy. Something that may sound strange to commonsense but is true from a scientific standpoint is that light by which all things become visible is itself something invisible. Photons cannot be seen when they're in flight, and the process of capturing them is a destructive interference which annihilates the photon and converts its energy into material manifestation, namely the production of mater and anti-matter, usually an electron and a positron in a process known as pair-production. The sun that we see in the sky, besides being mostly the reflection of light from hydrogen and helium in the sun, is the result of the annihilation of photons coming from the sun upon their impact with our retina which converts their energy into electric pulses traveling to our brain: We never see light itself; we see only the object, the material manifestation, that is made visible by light's reflection. Thus, that which makes everything visible is itself invisible.
Sun is the source of light; it is light itself. All other objects in the solar system derive their brightness from the light of the sun; they reflect the light of the principle, and hence the principle itself and its constant presence.
All the objects of the solar system, planets and comets, which have come from the heart of the sun keep revolving around their source; this is similar to the circumambulation ritual central to all religions in which the devotees rotate around a symbol representing the principle.
Planet earth represents the plane of existence, of material manifestation of the principle and the principle itself as the consciousness on earth whose principal bearer is man: Man being the most conscious being reflects more the light of the principle compared to other less conscious beings, animals and plants. Thus, human being has a special place since animals and plants, and even the whole of solar system, are phenomena reflected in man's consciousness: Planets to the sun are like what creation is to man's consciousness. Therefore, from a symbolic point of view the totality of solar system is also reflected within man with his/her consciousness playing the role of the light by which all phenomena are known.
We said the the sun is the source of all things, like the principle that is behind all manifestations. This makes perfect sense since the material elements of earth which are made of heavier atoms, such as iron, are produced at the center of the sun; only the intense heat and pressure available at the center of the sun can fuse together lighter elements such as hydrogen and helium into heavier elements such as iron. This process is known as nuclear fusion, a process central to the existence of stars; this fusion converts parts of matter into photons which is the main source of sunlight. Thus, the whole of earth and everything on it, including both organic and inorganic matter, not only came from the source but depend on it, as life depends on light, in every moment of their existence.
From the point of view of earth the sun seems to rise and set; but in reality the sun, the principle, neither rises nor sets; it is always there shining its light upon all its children, the planets and comets, etc. All these manifestations are sustained in their course by the gravitational force that the sun exerts on them, this attractive force representing the love of the principle for its manifestations: While the principle is reflected in the manifestation, the manifestation is prefigured in the principle. In the absence of this attractive force everything would fly away into the cold oblivion of empty space.
Day and night represent the states of the human soul in its relation to the principle, day representing the direct presence of the principle, and night representing the absence, or indirect presence, of the principle:
What is night: Night is when the earth, representing the purely material aspect, is between us and the sun; we call night the period of time during which the material earth comes in between us and the source of light, when from the point of view of the sun we are hidden behind the earth, and hence deprived of sunlight due to being situated in the shadow of the purely material globe. Night represents our being forgetfulness of the principle due to our being wholly preoccupied with its material manifestation. Night is when the light of principle is obstructed by the overshadowing presence of manifestation; it is when the manifestation becomes primary and the principle becomes secondary.
What is day: Day is when we put behind ourselves the earth, the purely material aspect; it is when the earth is no more between us and the source but rather we are between the source and its manifestation; it is when the principle becomes primary and its manifestation becomes only secondary. From the point of view of the sun, day is when we are directly facing the sun while the earth is behind us playing only the role of a support.
It is important to note that in both day and night our feet is always touching the earth: We do not become separated from the earth which signifies our essential dependence on material manifestation insofar as we are living in the manifested order. As a result, the manifestation by itself does not keep us from facing and knowing the principle. Manifestation conceals the principle only when we give priority to it, only at night during which we put the material aspect, the earth, between ourselves and the shining sun.
Thus, the essential difference between day and night is not a difference between accepting or rejecting the material aspect, an aspect on which our existence depends. The essential difference is rather between our fundamental orientation relative to the source while still being tied to the manifestation, namely grounded on earth; it has to do with our focus, whether we're focused on the principle or the manifestation, and whether we are wholly given to the manifestation or simply use it as a vehicle for reminding and transporting us toward the principle.
In the case of night, the material earth coming between us and the sun represents our forgetfulness of the principle under the shadow of the manifestation, that is when we give priority to the material effect rather than to the immaterial cause. Day, on the other hand, signifies the state in which while depending on the material effect we are conscious of the immaterial source; we are facing toward it, which means the immaterial source, the principle, has become our priority and the material earth reduced to only a means and a vehicle for realizing the priority and the superiority of the principle.
Night represents the darkness of the soul, its forgetfulness of its own nature as something essentially made of light. Day represents the soul's consciousness of its source; the earth's day represents the bright hours of the soul, its being immersed in the light of the principle and hence directly conscious of it.
Despite the fact that night is a state of facing away from the source, and more precisely when the material aspect obstructs the immaterial source, even at nights there comes the moon that reflects the light of the obstructed sun, and hence assisting us in the remembrance of the truth. Thus, the moon which reflects the sunlight and hence brings light, however pale, to our nights represents the prophet and the sage who by their mere purified presence reflect the light of truth, precisely in times of spiritual darkness, and help us remember our essential nature and true source. The full moon represents the prophet at the apex; its maximum brightening power signifies the intensity of a principal divine revelation which descends vertically and propagates horizontally in time and space, hence reverberating throughout history and attracting millions to itself. The other states of the moon, the half, quarter, etc. can be viewed as representing the presence of saints and sages whose divine inspirations, often emanating from their involved participation in an initiatic chain going back to the prophet and hence to a principal revelation, keep the light of principle available in the nights of the soul.
There always comes nights where the moon is fully dark, and hence we are deprived of the sunlight altogether; these nights represent the dark night of the soul. But this darkness is transitory and always passes and the moon, if not the sun, always reappears to lessen the weight of darkness. Though we cannot see the light of our sun when the moon is dark, we can still see shining stars which are far away; these dim lights represent our access to the truths of revelation-based traditions through the "letter." The Spirit in the letter, as Logos and as the Word, shines through scriptures and the writings of the saints and sages that can console the dark nights of the soul.
Thus, we see that light is never fully absence; there's no absolute darkness even in the depths of space. There is no point in deep space where you can stand and not see a single star. In other words, the empty space, and the whole of cosmos, is filled with light, whether visible light, meaning light of a certain range of frequencies detectable by human eye, or invisible light which consists in frequencies that our eye cannot detect and translate into colors. Totality, even in its darkest state, is filled with the ever-present light of the Principle.
The seasons, which are caused as a result of our distance and mainly the angle of earth's axis relative to the sun, represent what religious traditions recognize as the cycles of life which govern both history as a whole and the stages of a human life in particular: It is birth, growth, fall or decay, and death, death only marking a new beginning and far from being the end of things. We know that each cycle, having its necessary function in relation to the whole, has a beauty of its own and neither of the cycles should be viewed as unnecessary or devoid of intrinsic value, for they all function toward their principal aim, namely spiritual development and realization, which is nothing other than the reintegration of the manifestation in the principle.
These cyclic transformations caused by the relative position of the earth to the sun, the manifestation to the principle, apply both to the life of a single human being, manifested in the four stages of childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age, and they also apply to the life of historical epochs, empires, traditions, etc. Everything undergoes this cyclic change, but in spite of this apparent change the sun which is the source of all things shines while being itself unaffected by these changes, as the principle is always unaffected by its manifestations.
From a wider perspective we can see the solar system itself as a phenomenon subject to the cycles, constituting a smaller, sub-phenomenal symbol within the larger symbolic phenomenon of the Milky Way Galaxy which is the grand revolution of stars and stones around a super massive black-hole at the center of the galaxy. A black-hole does not signify lack of light; on the contrary it is the locus of infinite amount of light. The black appearance of a black-hole is caused due to the tremendous force of gravity that keeps the light from escaping the center.
Black-hole which is the fate of almost any average-sized star is the last stage of a whole 4-fold cycle in which the source swallows all its material effects, and hence a black-hole can be viewed as the symbol representing the reintegration of the manifestation in the principle which itself marks the beginning of a new cosmic manifestation. When a sun doesn't collapse into black-hole at the end of its life it explodes creating the most beautiful cosmic event called the supernova. From a supernova, which is the event of the death of a single star, a thousand suns are born.
Thus, we see that the end of an existing cycle marks the beginning of a new cycle for countless other manifestations which themselves produce sub-manifestations. The cosmic manifestation and its relation to the Principle reminds me of Russian Dolls: Creation is the event of one and the same Principle manifesting itself in multitude of forms, one inside the other, and as its own infinite possibilities: The principal form or the archetype constantly shows itself from the infinitely small to the infinitely large and everything in between, the macrocosm being reflected in the microcosm and vice versa.
Russian Dolls, each fitting inside the other
Each natural phenomenon can be viewed as a symbol communicating to us the metaphysical truths in general and the spiritual possibilities inherent in man in particular, which states that the macrocosm is reflected in the microcosm, a message of which we are reminded in the verse "God created man in His own image."

I can only reiterate Chic's comment : Beautiful. Thank you, Tomaj.
You're welcome M; glad you liked it.
Amazing!! Took me awhile to get to read it but glad I saved it!!
Thanks. I am glad you relate to it.

Brilliant !
And here's one from me, a vision that is rooted in materialized aspect remains eclipsed by an illusion.
The various visions one see in the form of crescents of the moon are mere illusions/maya that one perceives, when the observer's vision is rooted in the symbolised material aspect of earth. Hence his perception becomes obscured with ignorance/avidya.
Similarly when the observer sees only the moon as a symbolised aspect of material in front of him, he becomes deluded into the visions of the rings of fire believing those forms to be true, whereas in reality the light continues to shine in absolute entirety without a change.
Only when the obstruction of the material aspect is removed, does one see the light in its entirety and an observer, who is equipped with this ultimate wisdom ceases to be deluded by illusions anymore.
Well brother, what you said was brilliant; and I am pretty sure I will soon have to quote you on this if you don't mind. 🙂
Thanks Tomaj and ofcourse I do not mind,for my comment is only a mere resonance of an effect that was triggered by your write up, so it is you who really put the words in my mouth 🙂
Kind of you to say that. After all, there is perhaps one Intellect and we both participate in it. Truth speaks Itself, we being instruments or the many dialects of Its language. It's always a pleasure to see the one in the many 🙂

Q: Somehow managed to push a different repository onto Github Okay, so I accidentally put the wrong remote URL into one of my git projects and so managed to post a whole bunch of completely wrong commits to a github repository. I need to revert the entire repository back to a specific version, getting rid of everything that was committed after a certain revision.
Is there an easy way to do this, ideally without having to touch my original project?
Note that we're talking about 6 separate commits here, all of which I need to get rid of completely. This includes getting rid of a whole chunk of files which were committed to the repository and which overwrote the directory that used to be there.

A: git reset --hard [REVISION] && git push --force

Student senate creates petition for state funds
GVL / Hannah Hill Scott Richardson presented with others at the student senate meeting on Thursday, January 25, 2017.
Sarah Hollis
Filed under Governance, News, Policy
The agenda for the Grand Valley State University student senate's general assembly on Thursday, Jan. 25, covered several issues. Five students were appointed to fill spots on senate committees; a petition for more state funding for GVSU was discussed; and senators were encouraged to complete 10 Outreach, Research and Engagement forms (OREs) in the next two weeks.
The petition is an initiative aimed at drawing more attention to GVSU's comparative lack of funding with other Michigan universities.
"We garnered up a bunch of other schools because higher education advocacy is a huge topic among all schools, and we came together and realized that we need to work together as universities to make this happen," said Julian VanDaele, a senator on the external relations committee. "We created this petition, which outlines specific demands that we are going to give the Michigan legislature as they take the budget through that process and make their decision on whether or not to give higher education more money."
The petition also allowed student senate to be able to amplify the voices of GVSU students.
"State funding is something that we really need every student's help and support with," said Jonathan Bowman, student senate president. "It's something we've been working on for a few years now as senate. We've written letters to Lansing, we've done a lot in the past, but really, we need as many students to support it as possible. President Haas has said that he will reduce tuition if we get a certain percentage increase, so that's something that he has stood behind.
"If we can really make sure that we're lobbying our representatives, our state senators and state representatives to increase funding to Grand Valley, it could really affect our tuition, and I think students really need to know that."
Other business included appointing senators to various committees. Only one senate committee has space remaining after five newly appointed students took seats on Thursday. These students will not be able to participate in senate votes but will be able to speak at general assembly.
Brian Bialowas was appointed to the diversity affairs committee; Shayanna Schut was appointed to the external relations committee; Alexander Samosiuk was appointed to the public relations committee; and Anna Szalay and Ashley Oerman were appointed to the educational affairs committee.
Those interested in joining the senate and sitting on any of these committees will have the opportunity to run for election beginning at the end of March.
"We want people that are passionate about Grand Valley, that have ideas of how to improve campus and make things better," Bowman said. "I think that's the biggest thing. It's also good if you're involved; you don't have to be, but if you have different people that you can talk to about concerns that students may have, or just be open to reaching out to students in different ways.
"We really want people that really want it and really want to put forth the time because senate is whatever you make of it. A lot of people are surprised by what they can accomplish when they put in the time and the commitment to it."
In addition to encouraging students to sign the petition to make their voices heard, the senators will also be completing OREs in the next two weeks. The goal of the OREs is to make sure that students have the opportunity to share any ideas or concerns they may have with GVSU.
"I think people are really surprised when they join student senate about how hard it is to reach out to new students," Bowman said. "I've been on senate for a few years now, and every year you hear a lot of the same ideas—and a lot of the same concerns—from students, which are great, but you hear those a lot from the same people.
"We're trying to reach out to different groups, to people that we haven't spoken to, just so that we can make sure that we're best representing the students. Hopefully through OREs we can reach an even greater amount of students."
Morgan Mattler, chair of the public relations committee, also said that OREs exist to make positive changes on behalf of students.
"It's very important for students to be receptive with OREs," Mattler said. "If they're not, that's totally fine, but a big goal of OREs is to really get that student opinion, get that student interest, and really try to attack that as best as we can and help our surrounding student body. We're here for them, so we really want them to be receptive with us. Be on the lookout for student senators.
"If someone approaches you, feel free to really engage in a great conversation. We're all here for our students, and we care. We really do. We want to make the best changes here possible for our students."
Student senate meets in the Pere Marquette Room of the Kirkhof Center at 4:30 p.m. every Thursday.

WashingtonExec has been reaching out to leaders in government and government contracting to learn more about their habits, experiences and perspectives. Next in the series is Kevin Wideman, CEO of Koniag Government Services. His experience includes 30 years of leading and growing several mid- to large-size government contracting organizations.
"Leadership and Self-Deception" by The Arbinger Institute. The book was recommended to me by a colleague. This book articulates the manners by which we deceive ourselves when evaluating problematic situations. And as a result, most of our solutions will be off-point as well. My takeaway hope is that of greater "self-awareness," which I find to be the greatest weakness of most leaders.
"Raise the Roof" by Pat Summitt. I love Coach Summitt's leadership style. This book details the trials and tribulations that Coach Summit endured during one special basketball season. Her team had won the National Championship the year before. Although most starters were returning, she recruited the most talented class of incoming freshmen ever. My primary takeaway was Coach Summitt's ability to convince such an overly talented group of people to put aside their personal agendas for the good of the team's agenda. This helped me forge my "Company First" philosophy.
"Mind Gym" by Gary Mack. Given to me by a fellow coach, this book basically touches on the various mental approaches to achieving inner excellence. My primary takeaway was to always look inward first when things are not going well, while continuing to focus on the things that you can actually control.
Tell me about a time in your life when you had to really stretch yourself in order to learn and grow.
My father passed away during my junior year in college. There wasn't much in the way of life insurance, thus I had no real financial path to complete my education. At that point, I had to assume control of that particular phase of my destiny by working two jobs — commuting 50 miles each way to school to save room/board — and continuing a full electrical engineering course load. The greatest lesson learned from that process was one of hard work and perseverance can get you through most dire situations.
If you could go back and give your younger self career and/or life advice, what would you say?
I would tell myself to never assume that just because someone is in a leadership role, that they are equally equipped to judge your ability to assume his or her role. Always respect the position of leadership, but never let any human being limit your ability to dream and reach higher aspirations.
What's your favorite city to visit? What do you enjoy doing there?
I love visiting Fort Collins/Denver, Colorado. Great combination of down-to-Earth people, restaurants and outdoor activities. I actually love to golf there as the golf ball travels so much further in that thin air. Fort Collins has historically made the list of the top five places to live in the USA, and I know why.
Tell me about an app, device or type of technology you personally love and why.
I still love my old school iPod touch. It is my primary music device. Just music. I have over 20,000 songs on it, with a playlist for nearly any occasion.

Micro-Sized Motor is 1,000 Times More Powerful Than Human Muscle
A team of researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has demonstrated a micro-sized robotic torsional muscle/motor made from vanadium dioxide that for its size is a thousand times more powerful than a human muscle, able to catapult objects 50 times heavier than itself over a distance five times its length within 60 milliseconds – faster than the blink of an eye.
Researcher Junqiao Wu, a physicist with Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. (Roy Kaltschmidt)
Vanadium dioxide is one of the few known materials that's an insulator at low temperatures but abruptly becomes a conductor at 67 degrees Celsius. This temperature-driven phase transition from insulator-to-metal is expected to one day yield faster, more energy efficient electronic and optical devices.
However, vanadium dioxide crystals also undergo a temperature-driven structural phase transition whereby when warmed they rapidly contract along one dimension while expanding along the other two. This makes vanadium dioxide an ideal candidate material for creating miniaturized, multi-functional motors and artificial muscles. The heating of the vanadium dioxide micro-muscle to actuate it can be done either globally with a tiny heating pad, or with an electrical current applied to the dual coil.
The vanadium dioxide micro-muscles demonstrated reversible torsional motion over one million cycles with no degradation. They also showed a rotational speed of up to approximately 200,000 rpm, amplitude of 500 to 2,000 degrees per millimeters in length, and an energy power density up to approximately 39 kilowatts/kilogram.

Q: Trouble shooting locality sensitive hash I am using caffe, a deep neural network library, to generate image features for image based retrieval. The particular network I am using generates a 4096 dimensional feature.
I am using LSHash to generate hash buckets from the features. When I do a brute for comparison of all available feature, sorting images by euclidean distance, I find the features represent image similarity well. When I use LSHash, however, I find that similar features rarely land in the same bucket.
Are the source features too large for use with LSH? Are there other ways to reduce the dimensions of the image features before attempting to hash them?

A: If you are looking for intelligent dimensionality reduction, you can simply add another "InnerProduct" layer on top of your net with lower output dimension.
To train only this layer without altering the rest of the weights you can set the lr_mult values for all the layers (apart from the new one) to zero thus training (aka "finetuning") only the top dim-reduction layer.


The Allerton Specsavers team has made a major £450,000 investment into Liverpool's healthcare provision with the grand opening of its new store, recruiting two new staff and installation of state-of-the-art technology.
After almost ten years serving the local community on Smithdown Place, Specsavers has officially open its new bigger and more prominent premises at 160 Allerton Road.
Specsavers has made the investment following growth of the business which required expansion into larger premises in order to strengthen its offering to customers from across Allerton and South Liverpool. Two new staff have been recruited, with plans to grow the team further.
The Allerton Road store is the first Specsavers in Liverpool and Merseyside to launch an innovative new shopping experience. Instead of traditional reception desks, the store has mobile, standing and seated service points. Customers are greeted and registered on tablet devices, which are also used to measure and dispense their glasses. The concept, which is being rolled out across all Specsavers stores, is the first of its kind in optics.
The innovative Digital Precision Eyecare system also provides new way of selecting and fitting customers' glasses, using imaging software on tablet devices.
In addition, using the in-store tablet devices, customers can now browse all new frames (such as the exclusive Converse range and Disney frames) as well as the latest trends from celebrity stylists on Specsavers' own fashion app as well as local and national news.
The store will boast a new specialist contact lens centre, more optical testing rooms with state-of-the-art computerised testing equipment plus a dedicated hearing centre.
The new contact lens suite has been specially designed to be ready for contact lens testing, fitting and aftercare, allowing staff from Allerton Specsavers to support the area's growing number of contact lens wearers even more efficiently.
Andrew Preston, store director at Specsavers Allerton, said: 'We're incredibly excited about opening the doors to our new store on Thursday 20 August and can't wait to see the reaction of our loyal customers to the new technology on offer.
Our investment into the new store represents our commitment to improving vital healthcare provision in Allerton and across South Liverpool and came as we celebrated our 10th birthday in September.

A guiding principle of the Hope Center is that cell and molecular biological processes that underlie neurodegeneration are similar across disorders, such that research findings can be leveraged to provide insight beyond just one disease. Through the organization of research groups, the Hope Center aims to promote the sharing of unpublished data, foster collaboration, and speed the process of translation. To learn more about each group including its goals, the schedule of meeting presenters, and the list of participating faculty, click the buttons below.
Axon Injury & Repair Group investigators study many aspects of axon biology, including the cell biology and signaling mechanisms that underlie axonal and synaptic responses to trauma or disease, mechanisms that enable repair, and translational approaches to assessing axonal integrity in animals and humans.
Clocks and Sleep Club is a journal club at Washington University that discusses recent advances in the study of biological timing and sleep.
Investigators in the Lysosome Processing & Transport Group are interested in diverse aspects of lysosome biology as well as development of therapeutic strategies for lysosomal storage diseases.
The Neurogenetics & Transcriptomics Group is a diverse group of investigators whose independent research programs range from human genetics to genetic model organisms. They share an interest in the genetic pathways underlying neurological disorders, techniques to identify those genetic pathways, and the use of genetics and genomics as tools to develop therapeutics.
The NeuroRestorative Therapy Group investigates ways to restore neurological function in patients suffering from diseases that impact the human nervous system, through the development of novel multidisciplinary therapeutic strategies.
The Neurovascular Injury & Repair group provides a forum to discuss novel concepts and mechanisms in disorders of the neurovascular unit. Emphasis is placed on the causes of neurovascular injury and repair/response mechanisms in diseases of the central or peripheral nervous system.
The Protein Aggregation & Neurodegeneration Group represents the most formalized of the Hope Center Research groups, HPAN. HPAN's goal is to develop better ways to diagnose and treat neurodegenerative diseases through an understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms that lead to protein aggregation and disease.
The PI Chalk Talks are an opportunity for lab heads to share ideas and plans with the goal of generating constructive discussion among peers and mentors. Originally structured as a forum for the Neurodegeneration/HPAN group, the PI Chalk Talks are now open to all research groups so that faculty with a broader range of interests can take advantage of this highly successful forum to discuss grant proposals and research programs.

I have a story in the latest (April) issue of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. And I write about it today at SleuthSayers. Enjoy.
"Margo and the Silver Cane," by Terence Faherty, in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, January/February 2013.
Last week I saw All Through The Night, a weird movie with an amazing cast (Bogart, Lorre, Phil Silvers, Jackie Gleason, etc.) that starts out as a pretty good comedy and sort of devolves into the Bowery Boys versus the Nazis. I bring this up because Faherty's plot hits similar territory: a Nazi plot against New York harbor in the days before Pearl Harbor. I like his story better than the movie, though.
Margo Banning is an ambitious career woman, working as associate producer on a Sunday radio show. One of the stars is Philip St, Pierre, a self-proclaimed "radio detective." And in this week's show he announces that next week he will be revealing the identity of a top German spy. What follows is a lot of fun and amusingly written. Take this conversation regarding one of the other performers on the radio show.
"You are not a radio detective?"
"That question takes us into the realm of philosophy. Or do I mean psychology? Are we who we decide to be or who the world tells us to be? For example, I work with a woman who has forced her will upon the world. She's become a former Broadway star despite the inconvenience of never having been a current one."
"Mamie Gallagher," Edelweiss said a little wistfully. "She has a very attractive voice. I imagine her blonde."
The ending clearly hints at more adventures to come. I look forward to them.
"Diamonds Aren't Forever," by Raymond Goree, in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, January/February 2013.
Raymond Goree's first story made my best-of-the-year list last week, so I was delighted to see his second story appear. It isn't as stunning as his debut, but it is a lot of fun.
Simon Kline is a jeweler, and a very careful man. His store is encased in steel-impregnated polymer epoxy. His in-store cameras are linked to his BlackBerry so he can check for intruders without stepping out of his car. A very careful man.
But this a crime story, so we know something is going to happen. But exactly what, ah, that's where the twists come. Clever, amusing story.
right here are the best sixteen stories of 2012, as determined by me.
"Halley's Comet," by Reed Farrel Coleman, in Crime Square, edited by Robert J. Randisi, Vantage Point, 2012.
I'm a sucker for themed anthologies and this is a good one. The stories, in chronological order, take place in and around Times Square from 1912 to the present day. Fun to see the area go upscale and down as time passes. I highly recommend "The Devil's Face," by Max Allan Collins and Matthew Clemens, and "The Sailor in the Picture," by Eileen Dreyer.
But the favorite, for the second time in as many months, is by Reed Farrel Colman. The setting is the 1970s, the time of Serpico and the Knapp Commission, when the NYPD was full of dirty cops and the dirty cops were full of fear of the Knapp Commission. In this story two police detectives are being pushed into a n action that will move them from being bent to being totally rotten. And just as the point of no return approaches, well, police work intervenes. A wild and twisty climax ensues. Very satisfactory.
"The Rose Collection," by Louisa Clerici, in Dead Calm: Best New England Crime Stories 2012, edited by Mark Ammons, Katherine Fast, Barbara Ross, LeslieWheeler, published by Level Best Books, 2012.
I thought "Plain Vanilla" by Michael Nethercott would make a fine choice for the week. But before I hit the weekend I read "Boxed" by Daniel Moses Luft. And then along came this little character study by Louisa Clerici, which knocked them both out of competition.
Obsession is either comic or tragic, depending on how close you are standing to the fallout. The narrator is Laura, a woman who lives a pleasant if slightly stir-crazy life in rural Indiana. Her life is changed when an elderly neighbor leaves her a piece of costume jewelry: a brooch that was "all sparkly with a pale gold intricate rose." Get used to detailed description, because Laura provides them for whatever she thinks is interesting, while glossing over things she considers less important. And that, you might say, provides the key to her character.
Laura starts studying about jewelry at the library and discovers that the best chance to get more is a big flea market in Cumberland, Indiana. Problem is her husband doesn't want her to go. That doesn't turn out to be a problem for long, because he dies. In fact, it is best not to get between Laura and her jewelry plans.
Some people say that in genre literature the plot matters more than the language, while in mainstream literature it is the opposite. In this story the language is the plot.

"Murder with extreme indifference" charged in killing of Denver police officer Celena Hollis
Celena Hollis
By Jessica Fender | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: July 2, 2012 at 6:58 a.m. | UPDATED: May 1, 2016 at 12:40 a.m.
The man accused of shooting Denver police Officer Celena Hollis at a outdoor jazz concert last week has been formally charged with a count of first-degree murder with extreme indifference for human life.
Rollin Oliver, 21, next appears in court July 5. If convicted, he faces mandatory life in prison without parole.
Authorities believe Oliver fired a gun during a confrontation June 24 at an outdoor City Park Jazz concert, killing Officer Celena Hollis.
Police Chief Robert White has said authorities don't believe Oliver intended to kill the officer.
The Denver District Attorney's Office filed the charges after a court granted them a 72-hour extension to interview a number of witnesses who attended the popular outdoor concert.
"The charge alleges … Oliver had been involved in an altercation and subsequently fired multiple rounds from a gun into a crowded area just as a jazz concert at Denver's City Park was ending," according to a statement from the district attorney's office. "Officer Celena Hollis died at the scene when one of the shots struck her in the head."
The probable cause statement and Oliver's mugshot remain sealed. Investigators are continuing their photo line ups this week, district attorney spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough said.
First -degree murder with extreme indifference is one of three types of first-degree murder charges.
It is used when defendants are accused of engaging in dangerous behavior that results in the death of another.
Denver defense attorney Peter Hedeen said it's typically the easiest of the three murder charges to prove.
"Literally, that's shooting into a crowd. That's classically why this (statute) exists," Hedeen said. "It's also a lot easier to prove. You don't have to prove premeditation."
Any First Degree murder charge is eligible for the death penalty, though Denver jurors haven't sent anyone to death row in more than 15 years.
Murder of a peace officer or firefighter is an aggravating factor, should prosecutors to seek the death penalty, said former Denver prosecutor Craig Silverman.
Police acknowledging that Oliver most likely didn't intend to hit Hollis won't help convince jurors already unlikely to agree to the death penalty, Silverman said.
"If the murder was not deliberate, then I think it is unlikely that capital punishment would be pursued," Silverman. "It's very difficult to get a Denver death penalty. It's a liberal jurisdiction."
Oliver remains in Denver County Jail awaiting an advisement hearing.

Fungi love bathrooms because certain areas get constant moisture, allowing them to thrive. You might see black mold or a cloudy white film of mildew to clean in areas that stay wet, such as your plumbing fixtures. Follow these steps to keep your office bathroom clean of mildew and mold.
· Protect your hands with rubber gloves.
· Wet a microfiber cloth with closed-loop mesh and scrub at the affected areas.
· Use a tile brush or toothbrush with tough bristles for small areas.
· If plain water doesn't work, try spraying a solution of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and letting it sit for 10 minutes before washing it off.
· If you have really tough mildew to clean, use a solution of half a cup of bleach and one gallon of water to scrub the area and wipe it with a clean rag.
For areas that don't respond to any of these treatments, replace grout or caulking with materials that are resistant to bathroom mold and mildew.
· If there's a window in the bathroom, keep it open throughout the workday.
· Install an exhaust fan or ventilation fan.
· If you don't have a window or built-in fan, use a dehumidifier or portable fan.
You should also check regularly for leaks underneath faucets and toilets. Make sure you fix these quickly to avoid mold buildup.
Finally, it's a good idea to clean the bathroom once a week. Use bleach or bathroom cleaning products that contain bleach for best results.
Preventing the buildup of mildew to clean is as important in the workplace as it is in the home. However, if bathroom mold is out of control in your Affton, MO office, call a reputable mold removal company to help you get rid of it.

Q: Magento - Products not showing on "not visible individually" I've got a website with Magento Enterprise Edition's 1.14.1.0.
If I set my product's visibility to "not visible individually" it will return 404 error when I try to access their details page directly using url.
Any idea/suggestion would be appreciate. Thank you.

A: Magento has functionality to make certain items not visible individually so you can, for example, take 6 products and turn it into 1 product where a customer can choose their options.
You then hide all the individual products, leaving only that one product visible on the site and reducing duplicate content issues.
So those individual pages never actually appear on the site. They are just created to allow Magento to pull inventory on those items from that configurable product.
I would get a 404 (and if I searched for it, nothing would come up) because as far as the world outside of Magento admin is concerned, that URL doesn't exist.

John Bercow heralds triple investment
£3 million investment and new facility for Oakham business
WCS Care's revealed the name of its inspirational new £7.5 million care home in Warwick, which will replace its former Woodside home on Spinney Hill.
'Woodside Care Village' will become a deluxe village-style experience for 72 residents including older people and people living with dementia. It will feature family-scale households for six or seven people with ensuite bedrooms for everyone, when it opens in Autumn 2019.
There will be a relaxing spa, pamper salon, deluxe cinema, and café, as well as table tennis and companion cycling for two, complete with a cycle track – all designed to ensure the people who live there enjoy life as much as possible.
The state-of-the-art home has been designed for the Warwickshire-based charity by local architects Robothams and will encourage people to spend more time outdoors, which has benefits to health and wellbeing, swapping internal corridors for external walkways. It will also feature a shop and traditional launderette, which will be accessed by an open-air courtyard and gardens.
Built by Coventry-based Deeley Construction, 'Woodside Care Village' will feature the latest technology that will enhance and integrate into daily life without being intrusive.
Smart phone apps connected to mobile care monitoring will mean carers spend more time with residents. It's linked to a Relatives' Gateway, where people can check and interact with their loved one's care 24-hours a day, wherever they are.
Christine Asbury, WCS Care's Chief Executive, said: 'Woodside Care Village will feature technology and approaches that push the boundaries of innovation and creativity in care, inspired by transformational design at a pioneering care village we visited in the Netherlands and our own experiences.
'As with every WCS Care home, our focus in Warwick will be on delivering high quality care, as well as providing plenty of opportunities for people to try new things and enjoy what they've always done; something that's at the heart of our ambition to make every day well lived for residents.
'The home's new name reflects the next chapter in our story at Spinney Hill but also acknowledges the history of Woodside and the part it has played – and will continue to play – in the community for over half a century, and we can't wait to open our doors later next year.'

collapse next Design inspiration at new development in Leamington prev
Buckingham MP John Bercow has helped herald a hat-trick of investments which has seen a new commercial development call full house.
AC Lloyd and development manager Minns Network has developed three industrial units totalling 70,000 sq ft approx. (6,500 sq m) at Kites Park in Princes Risborough – and all three have been snapped up.
Two companies – the iLECSYS Group and Curtains & Linens – have moved into the area to take up space while All Bar Products is expanding into a new unit on the development off Summerleys Road.
iLECSYS, which employs around 50 staff and works in the industrial controls sector, has already relocated from Tring into a 39,000 sq ft manufacturing complex, while the other two units are due for completion later in the summer.
Curtains & Linens, which was founded 10 years ago in Hounslow, is taking 26,000 sq ft, while All Bar Products, is expanding from its unit on an adjacent estate, into 5,000 sq ft.
Bercow was given a tour of iLECSYS and the construction site as part of a visit to see the level of investment.
He said: "It is great to see three owner-managed businesses – in three three very different sectors – expanding their operations here in Princes Risborough.
"All the firms are trading successfully and it is vital that we can offer suitable sites both for expanding local companies who want to stay in the area and retain their workforce while growing their operation, as well as for companies looking to invest into the area.
"The success of this site proves that we have an area in which people want to work and I welcome the investment and the new posts which will be created as part of the development of the site."
Des Wynne, of AC Lloyd, said the development – which is being built by Deeley Construction – is a valuable addition to the local economy.
"Princes Risborough is a thriving location, with significant expansion and improved road and rail links proposed for the town within the emerging Wycombe Local Plan. Occupier demand has proved to be particularly strong here, which reflects well on the area on several levels – location, environment and the workforce," he said.
"The units will allow the companies to realise their growth plans and hopefully continue to employ more people. All three companies are purchasing their units which will help cement their futures here in Princes Risborough.
"The development has gone very well. The local planning authority – Wycombe District Council – was very supportive and it was good to be able to speak directly with the local MP to pass on our experiences of developing and creating jobs in his constituency."

Leading alternator manufacturer Mecc Alte UK is investing over £3.2 million as it expands its Oakham site to support its growing alternator business and the further expansion of sister company, Cabel UK.
The state of the art facility includes over 33,000 sq. ft. of prime manufacturing, warehouse and distribution space which will service both businesses and provide a third facility within the UK.
This latest development for the Rutland based business is essential as the Italian owned companies embark on a strategic expansion journey within the UK and across the global alternator sector. It is also broadening its services and repairs for specialist rotating and electrical equipment through Cabel UK.
The new site will also increase the workforce over four years and will look to recruit specialist engineers, skilled operatives and apprentices from the local area for Cabel UK.
Cabel UK was formed in 2009 with just two people working in the business. It has undergone significant year on year growth, across the power generation for repair, service and rewind work and has taken its workforce into double figures since it started.
This new facility will enable Cabel UK to increase its ability to supply more OEM parts and materials, incorporate the latest diagnostics technologies, materials, skills and processes to deliver first rate, flexible and responsive service. This includes AC and DC motors, generators, pumps, transformers as well as any electrical device that uses copper wire at its core.
For Mecc Alte UK, the facility will allow the company to increase warehouse capacity and introduce more product lines. This year the company revolutionised the alternator sector with the launch of its new C-Type series which will be manufactured in Oakham.
Andrew Bell, Managing Director, Cabel UK and Mecc Alte UK said: "We are very excited to announce these plans for a third site as part of our strategic vision and growth plan. It cements our commitment to expand Mecc Alte UK and Cabel UK's footprint in the local area.
"We want to attract fresh talent into the engineering sector and the new site will accommodate our expansion as a result of securing new service and maintenance contracts for Cabel UK along with increasing the design and manufacture for industrial machinery technology and the power generation sector."
Work is already underway on the new site at Land's End Way by contractor Deeley Construction and will be completed in November 2018.

The charity, which relies on donations, grants and gifts-in-kind, provides an innovative approach to recovery for those living on the streets as they offer residencies throughout the UK – including one in New Arley, Warwickshire, where they also gain job skills in everything from furniture repair to house removals.
Through this unique approach, they can fund their own recovery by working in the charitable businesses established by Betel.
The Deeley Group is now helping to raise the organisation's profile to help drive more support.
Timon Robins, of Betel UK, said: "Betel UK provides an innovative approach to recovery for those living on the streets and struggling to overcome addiction.
"Throughout the UK, they have residences where men and women enter and live for free in a family atmosphere where they build meaningful relationships, inspiring hope and self-esteem.
"Betel residents also gain job skills in a variety of areas including furniture repair and restoration, upholstery, house removals and clearances, landscaping and tree surgery, furniture shop sales and catering.
"Using these skills, they help to fund their own recovery by working in the charitable businesses. This significantly reduces the financial burden on their families and the government while restoring dignity and a sense of purpose. The result is that, on leaving Betel, they contribute positively to society and see their families restored.
"The charity receives no government funding and the men and women do not claim benefits while living in their residences. Betel UK relies on funds generated from the charitable businesses, as well as donations, grants and other gifts-in-kind to provide help at no cost to those seeking to change their lives. To date, we have saved UK society over £124 million."
Peter Deeley, Managing Director of the Deeley Group, said: "We were delighted to welcome Betel to our headquarters and to hear the fantastic work that they do.
"We like the ethos behind the charity and the outcomes it achieves and we would urge more companies to support them."

Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe, born in Aachen, Kingdom of Prussia (Germany) was a German-American modern architect in the post-World War I era. Ludwig, similar to many of his post-World War I contemporaries, wanted to establish a new architectural style that could represent modern times just as how Gothic and Classical did in their own eras.
Ludwig worked for his father in a stone-carving shop and multiple design firms locally before he moved to Berlin. Once in Berlin Ludwig joined the office of interior designer Bruno Paul, and began his architectural career working as an apprentice at the studio of Peter Behrens from 1908-1912. Working as an apprentice he was exposed to Current design theories and also progressive German culture. His raw skill was soon recognized and then he began independent commissions even though he had no college education.
He began his independent career by designing homes for the upper class. His style was influenced by 19th century Germanic domestic styles (cubic households). He rejected the eclectic and cluttered classical styles so common at the turn of the twentieth century as irrelevant to the modern times. He joined the German avant-garde (Avant-garde represents a pushing of the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the status quo), working with the design magazine G that started in July 1923. He developed fame as architectural director of the Werkbund, organizing the influential Weissenhof Estate prototype modernist housing exhibition. He also founded the architectural association Der Ring. He joined the avant-garde Bauhaus design school as their director of architecture.
Ludwig became a citizen in 1944 completing his severance Germany. His thirty years as an American architect reflect a more structural, pure approach toward achieving his goal of a new architecture for the twentieth century. His efforts were focused on enclosing open and adaptable spaces with clearly arranged structural frameworks. Some of His early work at IIT both caught and opened Americans eyes to a progression on the late nineteenth century Chicago School style.
Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe is also successful in designing furniture such as the Barcelona chair, arguably his greatest success in furniture. He has also designed the Brno chair and the Tugendhat chair, all of which are different and spectacular in their own ways.
Ludwig had played an important role as an educator, believing in the notion that his architectural skill and language could be taught and comprehended, then applied to design any type of modern building. He created a new education at the department of architecture of the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. Mies's grandson Dirk Lohan and two partners led the firm after his death. Dirk, who had collaborated with Mies on the New National Gallery, preceded with existing projects however, soon led the firm on his own independent path.
Throughout the last twenty years of his life, Ludwig developed and built his own vision of a monumental "skin and bones" architecture that reflected his goal to provide the individual a place to fulfill himself in present day. Mies sought to create free and open spaces, enclosed within a structural order with minimal presence. Mies van der Rohe died on August 17, 1969.
The Crown Hall, which sits in Chicago, Illinois, is one of the key figures of the simplicity of the modern art style, keeping the material count low while capturing the clean smooth edges.

Exporting Psychological Concepts Associated With Gender May Have Unintended Consequences
Researchers find a shift in the meaning of gender as it enters the local lexicon of people in rural Malawi which may have negative results.
Ayurdhi Dhar, PhD
A new study explores how the psychological concept of gender undergoes a shift in meaning when intersecting with the culture and lives of people in rural Malawi. University of Oslo researchers Johanna Adolfsson and Ole Madsen published their study in Theory and Psychology. They contend that the use and understanding of 'gender' in rural Malawi are much broader than its individualized usage in psychology. The shift in meaning that may occur because of global policies has many consequences for people on the receiving end of international aid.

The Global Mental Health Movement (GMHM), which seeks to reduce the 'treatment gap' in countries in the global south, recently received a boost when the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) included mental health as a top priority. While researchers have questioned the legitimacy of this movement, including claims of efficacy and ethics, a psychological discourse has been increasingly embraced by international policymakers.
After being criticized for disturbing local economies and instigating conflict in some regions, the global aid sector moved toward adopting psychosocial models that administer policies based on individualized and psychologized concepts such as "resilience," "self-actualization," and "empowerment." Researchers have contested that many of these psychological concepts are founded upon post-enlightenment modern Western values, such as meritocracy, individualism, and materialism.
The movement to universalize the definition of human suffering and to homogenize mental distress has been problematized by many who insist that socio-cultural factors and interpersonal relationships play an essential role in understanding and managing emotional pain.
Amidst these trends and conversations, the authors of this article investigate how the psychologized definition of gender, which is used by most policy actors, enters the global discourse and is reframed, restructured, and negotiated in rural Malawi, in sub-Saharan Africa.
The "gender turn," which began in the 1970s and then gained popularity amongst global development and policy actors in the early 2000s, focused on addressing the needs of young women, framing them as an untapped economic resource. This global movement was premised on the discourse of individual freedom, agency, and self-efficacy.
While organizations like the UNICEF have maintained that women's empowerment and global poverty are intricately related, critics have warned against such simplistic economic framing of complex problems, which have roots in structural discrimination, systemic corruption, and colonial exploitation. Recent studies have linked such systemic socio-cultural factors like poverty to mental and emotional distress. Thus, these critics argue that women's issues, through the discourse of empowerment and self-reliance, are used to bolster neoliberal agendas of economic growth.
The authors of this study write that Malawi is one of the poorest nations in the world, and is considered a "donor darling." It has a high presence of non-governmental (NGOs) and other aid organizations that disseminate messages about SDG 5 ("attain gender equality and empower all women and girls") through mass media and other campaigns.
The study was conducted by performing a theoretical thematic analysis on data collected through focus group discussions, and formal and informal personal interviews with participants in a rural agricultural area. Due to high rates of poverty, unplanned teenage pregnancies, poor infrastructure, and low levels of education, NGO intervention and gender equality programs are heavy in this area.
Rural Malawi is the point of intervention of many of these policies and messages, and over time the word 'gender' has taken on a different life and a different meaning in the Chichewa language — "not differentiating between men and women at work." In this framing, 'gender' is understood as something to be practiced to lessen gender inequality.
In contrast to the way gender is understood and negotiated in the industrialized world as something universal and individual, the authors found that gender took on a different meaning among the people of rural Malawi.
"Generally, participants agreed that gender is part of development introduced by various international and national NGOs implementing programs in the villages. Most participants saw the shift to gender as related to work and daily practices previously tied to separate gendered roles, such as construction work, farming, cooking, washing, and cleaning… Thus, gender could be understood as 'not differentiating between men and women at work' and the Chichewan 'jenda' translated as 'gender equality.'"
The authors use Haslam's idea of 'concept creep' to show how psychological approaches can undergo shifts in meaning and how these new meanings can influence peoples' understanding of themselves. Other researchers have spoken of a similar reification and manipulation of emotional experience caused by linguistic colonization.
Men conceptualized 'gender' (gender equality) as a practice they felt mostly positively about. They also clarified that 'gender' was new and came from outside, from "high-levels" to "low levels," in other words, from outside sources like NGOs, the first author (a White woman), and the research assistant (an English-speaking Malawian woman) to them, the locals.
Similar to men, women also perceived 'gender' as new and as something which entered their lives from the outside world. They viewed this restructuring of the division of labor in a positive light, as doing 'gender' allowed them to be less vulnerable and dependent on men.
As opposed to the psychological concept of gender, which is individualized as something that people have, in rural Malawi, gender was understood as something you collectively do to reap collective benefits. As a result, the authors write:
"With this qualitative stretch, gender has come to be associated with normative concepts such as 'moral,' 'responsibility,' and 'agency,' in turn connoting managerial concepts of 'time,' 'money,' 'efficiency,' and the like."
The authors suggest that, in rural Malawi, since the concept of 'gender' has an expanded definition, which influences people's meaning-making experience about themselves and others, it has led to some negative consequences.
Some male participants in the focus group suggested that there is a disconnect between what NGOs say 'gender' is and how they practice it. They allude to the sole focus of NGOs on girls' and women's empowerment. In other words, to them, the exclusion of men indicates that what NGOs are doing is not truly 'gender,' because 'gender' is considered something that is done for everyone and by everyone.
Despite the generally positive feelings around 'gender,' many women feared not living up to the expectations of 'gender,' often defined by NGOs as staying in school and avoiding unplanned pregnancies. They reported that their inability to do so made them feel like a failure. Moreover, others mentioned that dropping out of school and becoming pregnant could lead to a monetary fine to be paid to the local authorities. An economic sanction of this kind has dire consequences in a region where poverty is rampant.
This, in turn, led to girls facing stigma and shame in the community. Girls' bodies and behavior become the concern of the society, in turn taking away some of the agency that these rules were supposed to give them. Thus, the singular focus of aid agencies on women being held responsible for unplanned pregnancies, as evidenced by the fines their families have to incur, creates an unbalanced distribution of reproductive responsibility. The authors write:
"This one-sided way of assigning gendered responsibilities like pregnancies onto women and girls legitimizes the irresponsible behavior of the men who abandon them with the sole responsibility of child-rearing."
Moreover, by placing the whole responsibility of empowerment on individual women and punishing them for perceived transgressions, the NGOs and governmental organizations minimize the effects of cultural and economic factors like structural poverty and lack of resources on why girls drop out of school or get pregnant, and further internalize this perceived misbehavior.
"The individual focus on gender may indirectly justify male independence while assigning even more expectations and responsibility to women and girls already struggling to cope in a society permeated with inequity," the authors write.
Individual interviews with women found participants admitting that there was no 'gender' in their community since the division of labor remained sex-specific because child-rearing and domestic labor was still managed by women. How neoliberal 'gender' messages, which position women as a global investment, are spread by government agencies has an unforeseen consequence. Women end up doing more work by entering traditional male fields, whereas men end up doing less as they rarely contribute to household work.
This, along with the earlier stated reasons, is why women thought that 'gender' seemed to benefit men more than women. Thus, contrary to what many developmental policymakers aimed for, gender equality was sometimes actually diminished by their efforts since domestic work is devalued across the world.
Lastly, since 'gender' is constructed collectively, and practiced with others instead of possessed by an individual, many measures of calculating gender equality miss the complexity of these ways and instead decontextualize the lived reality of 'gender' in rural Malawi.
Given the complexities of culture, the realities of socio-economic inequalities, and the intricacies of language, it is then essential to understand how Western psychological concepts are contextualized and reframed in many indigenous societies.

And it denies, as the – way too paternalistic – psychological and psychiatric industries systemically do, the possibility that the women or girls were raped. And covering up child abuse and rape has been the number one societal function of our psychological and psychiatric industries for over a century.

Rape and child abuse never happens, according to our insane and highly DSM deluded "mental health" workers. Oh, that's because no "mental health" worker may ever bill any insurance company for ever helping any child abuse survivor ever, by DSM design.

"How neoliberal 'gender' messages, which position women as a global investment, are spread by government agencies has an unforeseen consequence. Women end up doing more work by entering traditional male fields, whereas men end up doing less as they rarely contribute to household work."
Yes, that's what's already happened in American. And it's actually to the point in America that if you've earned and saved enough money to be a stay at home mom, you are actually a target of the psychologists and psychiatrists, for choosing to be a stay at home mom, and properly raise your children.
And this targeting of stay at home moms, by the psychologists and psychiatrists, is helping to destroy American families and America in general, from within. It is by the design of the globalist banksters, NGOs, and their lunatic "mental health" minion, as somewhat pointed out in this documentary.

"This, along with the earlier stated reasons, is why women thought that 'gender' seemed to benefit men more than women." Yes, it's a satanically paternalistic psychological theology, that will destroy other countries, just like it's destroying America from within today. "Western psychological concepts" are destroying America and Western civilization, from within. A confession from within your own ranks.
https://www.amazon.com/Pedophilia-Empire-Chapter-Introduction-Disorder-ebook/dp/B0773QHGPT
Leave the rural Malawi people alone, psychologists, and start confessing to the fact your paternalistic psychological theories are destroying Western civilization from within. "The Global Mental Health Movement (GMHM)," should be ended.
Both the psychologists' and psychiatrists' scientific fraud based, primarily child abuse and rape covering up, DSM "bible" theology is a disaster. And it is destroying Western civilization from within, so it should NOT be exported internationally. It needs to be ended.
And America needs a return to the rule of law instead. The power needs to be taken away from the globalist banksters' "omnipotent moral busy body" "mental health" lunatics.
