Rep. Brown Protests Councilman Remarks Deemed Racist
State Rep. Tommie Brown, D-Chattanooga, said Friday that Councilman Manny Rico should immediately step down after making what she perceived to be racial remarks in a City Council meeting, reports the Chattanooga TFP.
"His comments and his behavior, I was just appalled," Brown said. "I can't forget that. I won't ever forget that."
Rico said he was expressing his freedom of speech and has no intentions of stepping down.
"Do I get in trouble for speaking the truth for what I feel?" he said Friday.
The controversy started Tuesday night during the City Council's Legal and Legislative Committee meeting discussion about redistricting. Several council members expressed disappointment in a redistricting plan Brown and other community leaders supported.
Rico abruptly told the audience he felt there were racial overtones in the community group's presentation. He said he is sick, tired and resentful of racial suggestions and comments.
As a Hispanic, Rico said he has worked hard to earn what he owns.
"White people have been more fair to me than anyone else," he said. "White people have bent over backward to make right what's wrong."

My intention with this mod was to make Minecraft remain a challenge and to give it a more unique experience. Because I lack the skill in programming enhanced AI or equipment, I intended for this mod to add mobs and make the game harder while more powerful and well coded mods provide high-end enhancements to the player.
This mod is not beginner friendly. It is best used by experienced players seeking a challenge or later in the game session.
@yogATmos he stated above he has no skills yet you make that comment!
I will see if my community can come up with some decent sounds and present them to you for addition with your mod. It is perfect for our modpack, challenging pack designed for the player who does not care about expert, only a nice challenge. Fanatics Engineering Marvels 1.8.2 will do that with this mod alone.
We will take your mod to the next level. Thanks a lot!!
No sounds? They really make a diffrence, can't there at least be some copyright-free one's added?
The mod itslef is great btw!
Can 1.8.8 use the 1.8.9 version ?
Dude, you do know that there is a 1.8.9 version, right?
is there some conflict between this mod and Minecraft comes alive? i cant seem to get any of the passive mobs of this mod that have trades to attempt a trade menu with myself; and MCA is the only thing that does any changes to vanilla villager AI that i can think of that might be causing this since those mobs in this mod that use villager AI would be affected by its changes; right?
Love this mod but I'd like some help.
I want to disable some of the passive trader mobs(e.g Weresheep) but they don't appear in the configuration options with the other mobs. I'm guessing it's because they're based off of the villager mechanics instead of monster mechanics? If anyone has any ideas that'd be great.
I'm trying to spawn Centaurs into my map, and like a lot of the hostile mobs or nether mobs (which is normal) during the day - it won't?

Almost Oda Nobunaga Warlords warrior in this period, set up their own armies and became Oda Nobunaga Warlords to contribute to this chaos. Through boldness and innovation, Oda Nobunaga Warlords had transformed his nation.
Nobunaga Oda the warlord tribute
The name of this period, Momoyama, derives from the place near Kyoto where Hideyoshi builds one of his castles. These imposing stone structures are abundantly decorated with bold and resplendent paintings and works of art that epitomize the might of their owners and the splendor of Momoyama culture. During this period, Zen temples in Japan actively import Chinese literature, philosophy, artistic styles, and religious ideas. While verdant gardens formed an important part of secular residences since at least Heian times, austere dry landscape gardens are developed in Zen temples as aids to meditation.
Actually, most of the strife is generated by competition between regional warlords. Power then shifts to provincial military leaders daimyo , who accrue greater strength and independence. The succeeding century of violent territorial competition between daimyo is known as the Sengoku period. This elegant complex of buildings set in a garden features what might be the first room built especially for conducting the tea ceremony. This poetic form, which consists of short waka poems linked by related words and images and comprised of alternating verses of and syllables, reaches its highest level of accomplishment and popularity during the Higashiyama period. The popularity of his Zen-inspired painting style, especially among his samurai patrons, exemplifies the expansion of this artistic development into secular art and throughout Japan.

Initially, the Japanese respond with interest to these new arrivals and begin to import, primarily through the port city of Nagasaki, such Western commodities as firearms, glassware, eyeglasses, tobacco, and clocks.
As European goods become fashionable, the Japanese adopt some European customs and produce their own muskets, bake and enjoy bread pan , fry foods in batter tempura , and wear pantaloons. At least partially motivated by a desire for Western firearms and goods, some provincial warlords daimyo convert to the new religion. Most Visited Leon S. Explore Wikis Community Central.

The name ' Oda ' means ' great field ', while ' Nobunaga ' means ' grand and lasting '. Click here if you're interested in knowing the meanings of Japanese names. Considering that naming kids in the past was usually a tedious biz of seeking auspicious senses and such, this would get omenic to believers upon his Japanwide rise later. Young Oda Nobunaga appeared onstage for the first time in , in a nerve-wrecking bud of what we now dub 'Japan'.
At 15, Oda was heir to a relatively obscure feudal lord of Owari click here for the Oda family tree. He started out with a speck of earth and a band of samurai and lots of guts and nothing more than that. The Oda clan of Nobunaga's was dismissed by greater clans of the time as unworthy of insomnia because it was too poor to rob and too weak to conquer. The location of Oda Nobunaga's original territory is somewhere around today's Nagoya -- while the entire province of Owari itself is just a tiny slice of today's Aichi Prefecture click here for map of Japanese warlords of 16th century , or here for maps of Oda Nobunaga's territory from the li'l spot he inherited from his dad in Owari until the vast addendum he gained himself 'til his death , or here for Tokugawa Ieyasu's territory after the decisive battle of supremacy at Seki plains in Or click here for pictures of Oda Nobunaga's homebase in Nagoya, the exact village where the Oda clan came into being, and so on.
When even passersby called him 'Lord Fool' 'baka-dono ' , Oda Nobunaga dreamt the greatest dream; from this tiny li'l base he hoped for Japan United or so. Click here if you really have never heard of why he was called 'Lord Fool', and why he let people to do that. There was no Japan in 16th century, mind you; what existed was around independent Imperial vassaldoms, i. Rulers of such spots were inferior only to the Emperor, spiritually-speaking; and to the nearest stronger warlord, practically-speaking. These warlords' business was mainly to think up schemes of how to add a neighbor's land to theirs.
Because land meant rice. Because rice was the measure of everything in 16th century Japan. That's how agrarian feudalism functions. Wealth, wages, salaries, booties, all were converted notions of how much rice did one stack in the warehouse. For a while, the young Oda Nobunaga and his inconsequential territory and his rather meagre portion of Japanese rice production could do nothing but to wait for a chance to move up the ladder of warlordism; during which, as was usual in feudal politicking, he spent time luring allies and drilling the army.
When he started the campaign after his 19th birthday, he already got the right men marching along his side click here for profiles and pictures -- and so the fiery tale rolled on. Oda Nobunaga existed in the Age of Personalities. So he seemed as if he was all the Oda around. But yes , there was a clan whose members were all named Oda. Otherwise Nobunaga would have signed documents as something else 'P. Diddy' for example. In fact, there were 2 overloaded branches of Odas in Owari alone: Oda Nobunaga's family, of whom people say 'the Kiyosu Oda s'; and others whose unofficial name was 'the Iwakura Oda s'.
Oda Nobunaga simply had to get rid of a lot of these other Odas vying for being the head of the clan first before doing anything else. Whatever happened to these other Odas? If you care, click here. Is there anybody named Oda this minute? Click here for Oda Nobunaga's most famous descendant in 21st century. The Oda clan was a flock of descendants of one of the greatest samurai clans in Japan, the Taira click here for story and pictures. It was one heck of a clan around the year , the period portrayed in the blockbusting Japanese movie directed by Takita Yojiro, Onmyoji a. Oda Nobunaga's career was slashed short by one of his own generals, Lord Akechi Mitsuhide of Tamba click here for all about this man -- virtually alone against Akechi's whole army because Oda was in a personal holiday at a temple , Oda Nobunaga died at 49 click here for everything about Oda's death.
And he didn't have a chance to leave a dynastic power. All his offsprings never got the chance to step into daddy's shoes click here for these kids. They were either assassinated or stripped off any power by Oda's real successors: the illustrious Toyotomi Hideyoshi , his best general click here for you know what ; and the rocky Tokugawa Ieyasu , his ally click here. Oda Nobunaga's worst sort of son survived until old age, and his Catholic uncle Nobunaga's younger brother also lived until 84 years old or so click here for both. They were crossovers -- they acknowledged the Tokugawa shogunate and went to its wars under the Tokugawas' command Oda Nobunaga would have never ever imagined that!
So -- no other Oda would rise after he's gone. The military excelsior of the Oda clan started and ended with this one and only Nobunaga. Click here for Oda Nobunaga's family tree, though. Oda Nobunaga, as a matter of historically correct fact, earned the grudge people have been keeping across so many centuries until this very day; there was a reason for calling him the incarnate of evil and everything vicious and bad -- but only as long as Japanese Buddhism is concerned.
In , Oda reduced one of the biggest Buddhist compounds of the time, at Mt. Hiei , and countless Hongan monks, to ashes. He spared nothing and no one in this campaign -- kids, women, cattle, grass and garbage, all was made to meet the exact same fate. Even his own soldiers shuddered at the deeds they were nonetheless to obey after protests failed to change it. But don't get pictures of peaceful, smiling, gentle Buddhist bonzes in your mind -- the ones imprinted there after encountering the 20th-century Zen books. The Buddhist monks I mentioned, the bonzes Oda Nobunaga fought against, were zillions of lightyears away from today's orange-robed pacifists begging for alms.
They were, for Christ's sake, soldiers. These monks had been every warlord's headache; they switched sides as they pleased, according to which party of the conflicting two paid them better; they spent time not in endless gaze towards Nirvana or anything, but out in the field, not herding sheep, but practicing martial arts, perfecting swordsmanship, training archers and so forth. And if Buddhist monks make killing people their occupation like that, other known Buddhist taboos were of course never observed as well; the monks kept concubines, produced babies, had alcohol served any time they wanted, ate meat, etcetera. These were the sort of monasteries Oda destroyed in his time. Personally, they heaped up more obstacles to Oda's way, more than others before him, because Oda Nobunaga seemed to give hearts to Jesuit missionaries -- although it was only a tactical endorsement, since he was always ready to use any weapon against the proud Buddhist monks up in the mountain click here for story and pictures of how Oda Nobunaga made use of these Roman Catholic priests.
So, hereby, just in case someone still get misled to believe that Oda Nobunaga was 'interested in Christianity', I say that's nothing but a post-Spanish Inquisition feel-good hallucination. Oda Nobunaga's interest in Roman Catholicism was exactly the same as his interest in sponge cakes, matchlock guns, sundials and red wine. Ask him if you don't believe me. If this subject tickles you, click here for history, pictures and profiles of Christian samurai, warlords and rebels of 16thth century Japan and how Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu differently dealt with the issue. Anyway, the total war Oda Nobunaga waged against Buddhist warrior-monks was why 'Devil Incarnate' came to be attached to his name by the pop culture of 20th and 21st century click here for complete story and pictures of these bloodlusty monks anyway , even though he was -- now remember this -- not the first or the last person to have committed the same deed.
They, too, couldn't have helped it. Those monks were pain the unspeakable region to everybody. Most of what we know today about Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi came from caucasian mental lenses. The Japanese imported American and European views about themselves since the Meiji Confusion of click here for everything about that , and it was part of the cargo. That is all you need to know about it; the dose of trust you can sanely give to its validity is as much as you can normally give to alchemy. It was nothing but an archaic caucasian personal observation about Asian stuff.
Don't ever forget that it was personal. Don't forget they were Roman Catholic missionaries talking about a Buddhist Japanese. Don't forget anthropology wasn't even thinkable yet, it being the year You don't, this very day, believe that the sun spins around this planet, do you? Or that the northern landmass on the map was India, not America? But you would have , when that kind of view was in vogue in medieval Europe -- if, of course, you were a medieval European yourself. Catch my drift? Now, Luis Frois , a Roman Catholic Portuguese missionary click here , has been by far universally seen as the 'close friend' of Oda Nobunaga's, since he implied so in his weighty diaries.
Japanese biographers of Oda's nailed someone else as the so-called 'close friend', Italian Catholic priest Gnecchi-Soldo Organtino click here. It doesn't matter which one saw Oda more often or longer each time around. Oda Nobunaga was, whatever else he might have been, a true-blue Japanese samurai of his times. He knew exactly what these caucasians wanted, which he would never ever give to them; and he was sure of what he himself wanted, which he would somehow get from them.
It's impossible that a 'friendship' ever occured between him and these people. It was people like Frois and all his caucasian colleagues who said Oda Nobunaga 'saw himself as a god', 'he craved divinity of himself', and so forth, the usual bubbles, and left us a picture of a megalomaniac Nebuchadnezzar-like Oda Nobunaga, which, alas, even Japanese people in 21st century come to believe as a fact just because the world's mass-media is the caucasian one! All that aspiration to divinity wouldn't even cross an Asian mind who already took his Emperor as the latest edition of divinity. The meaning of 'something- o-kami ' that tailed Japanese rulers' and Generals' names, including Oda Nobunaga's he's 'Owari no kami ' , never meant 'god of something'.
It only meant 'protector', a Shintoist expression that the spirits of the departed great men's would continue to stay with the living that way, geographically. Click here for everything about Shintoism so this kind of thing wouldn't confuse you. Statues of warlords and Generals, the ' shogun jizo ', were never meant to be worshipped, either; they were reps in stone of the protecting spirits that wouldn't get so convincing if inexistent, to a people accustomed to visual aids in religious matters. Click here for everything about Zen Buddhism , because this IS what samurai upheld.
The confusion Oda Nobunaga Warlords ' ujigami ' and Oda Nobunaga Warlords ujinokami ' and Oda Oda Nobunaga Warlords was both has been an observable constant part of non-Japanese minds, even Theory Of Change Analysis. Soon both the Oda Nobunaga Warlords and Tokugawa forces defeated Oda Nobunaga Warlords combined Nicotine Vs Smoking Research Paper of Oda Nobunaga Warlords Asakura and Azai Oda Nobunaga Warlords.

I remember a woman saying to me with a break in her voice… "My daughter is dying of cancer." I surprised even myself by very sternly saying to her. "NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN! Your daughter is LEARNING TO LIVE with cancer! It's a big distinction and one I highly suggest you make note of!" I am usually not rude, so I was well aware that someone in her family was speaking through me!
Today that statement hit home with a greater understanding. I was working with a client who is recovering very well from metastasized cancer. She is feeling good; her tests are coming back in healthy ranges and her doctors are optimistic.
She talked about some residual fears of having the cancer come back. When we checked on how her energy responded just hearing the word cancer it plummeted her energy to a -9.
While we talked I went into a deep channel and I wish I had recorded the conversation because the dialogue was profound.
The guides went on to point out that when the woman first found out consciously that she had cancer, she was working all the time at a job that she did not enjoy. Yet, for monetary reasons she had continued doing the same job for many years, even though her interests had moved on to something else.
Once she found out that she had cancer, she quit her job to take care of herself and suddenly she had clients for the healing practice she'd been longing to have, but previously didn't have time to try.
She now had time to go for walks in the park and take time for herself to meditate and she has now created a life worth living! Not despite having cancer, but directly because she had cancer!
Cancer was the cause of her new-found happiness and her now more relaxed and enjoyable way of life!
I would like to add that I lost a sister to cancer. Although it was hard for me at first to agree with this way of thinking. With a little investigation into her thoughts, I can absolutely see that what my guides are saying is absolutely true for her as well.
To most people who knew her, she was an outgoing, fun loving, individual with a strong will to live. So she absolutely appears to be the opposite of what they are saying. She loved her job of singing in restaurants and enjoyed her family and friends with little outward appearance of any distress. But, I knew her inside story, she was very unhappy with the body she was dealing with and had a sever non-beneficial belief that she had missed her chance to do something great in this life. For her, her opportunity to be a "Star" was over.
I do not wish to challenge people or upset anyone. Personally, I do not know why babies come in and get cancer so young. However, I have to stop and remember that the soul of the baby is not new to this life.
It might have reasons of its own for changing its mind about coming here.
The soul certainly knows what it is doing and I just have to allow myself to make peace with that.
I, ___________, place the soul of, ______________, Into a Full Court of Atonement with all levels of his consciousness and his guides. I ask for, _____________, to be placed in a sanctuary of healing and shown a soul preview of what he might have to live for.
Here are a few COA's to assist with gaining understanding of cancer but let us start with aligning ourselves with receiving miracles!
I place myself, _____________, in a Full Court of Atonement with my heart, body, conscious mind, subconscious mind, and soul, along with all of my guides. I ask that we are all purged with divine, pure, holy, love and placed in alignment with using the Full Court of Atonement.
I place myself, _____________, in a Full Court of Atonement with purifying and sanctifying my name. I ask to disconnect all other energies from my name and make my name uniquely my own. I ask to accept my name and correct all conflicts I have with my name.
I ask to purify and sanctify my name and make it uniquely my own, and I ask to have all the beneficial power of the birthname aligned with any portion of my name I choose to use.
I place myself, ______________, in a Full Court of Atonement with dissolving all need to retell non-beneficial stories!
I place myself, ______________, in a Full Court of Atonement to correct my energy so that I am 100% open and willing to let go of all non-beneficial energies of the past.
I, _____________, place all levels of consciousness of myself, along with all of my guides into a Full Court of Atonement to correct my energy so that I am 100% open and willing to believe in miracles!
I place myself, _____________, in a Full Court of Atonement to correct my energy so that I am 100% open and willing to receive miracles.
I place myself, ______________, in a Full Court of Atonement to correct my energy so that I am 100% open and willing to pardon myself for any behavior that caused conflict with another and I ask to pardon everyone for their behavior as well.
I place myself, ______________, in a Full Court of Atonement. I ask to pardon myself for not listening to the subtler signals I had been receiving, that were telling me that I was not happy and that I should have changed my way of life.
I place myself, _____________, in a Full Court of Atonement with being in alignment of seeing Cancer as a spiritual tool that people subconsciously choose to either wake themselves up or dispatch themselves into the next state of being.
I, ____________, place myself into a Full Court of Atonement with the essence of Cancer. I ask to correct our understanding of each other now. I ask to be pardoned for all of the emotions that I directed toward you. I ask to be pardoned for all of the blame I have placed on you for causing the death of people I have known and loved. I see now that they spiritually chose to leave through your energy. I ask to pardon you Cancer for scaring me and causing me mental and physical pain.
I, ____________, place myself into a Full Court of Atonement with being in alignment with appreciating the gifts that cancer offers us.
I, ____________, place myself into a Full Court of Atonement with being in alignment with being healthy.
I, ____________, place myself into a Full Court of Atonement with all levels of consciousness of myself with being in alignment with recognizing and taking control of my emotional states and taking divinely guided action to make positive changes in my life.
I, ____________, place myself into a Full Court of Atonement with all levels of consciousness of myself with being in alignment with creating a life worth living!
Thank you for posting this. I feel that this is true. I have had cancer for over two years and am trying to heal the root cause of it so I can live a happy and fulfilling life. I have tried many things to heal, energy work, diet, etc. The cancer is not getting better or worse, it is just there patiently waiting for me to figure things out. I am happy for the healing I have received and what I have learned. I am really wanting to know the root cause so I can heal and create the life I truly want to live and fulfill my life purpose.

Can Diabetes Be Treated with Health and Fitness Classes?
What Exercise is Best when you have Diabetes?
A report carried out by Diabetes UK shows that, since 1996, the number of people diagnosed with diabetes in the UK has risen from 1.4 million to 3.5 million.
Being overweight and obese, having a poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle and a lack of physical activity are all enormous risk factors for this chronic disease, affecting 6% of the UK population.
Diabetes is a disorder where the body cannot properly use and store sugars that a person consumes in their food and drink. This results in the blood glucose levels being too high, which is known as hyperglycaemia.
There are two types of diabetes: type 1 diabetes, called insulin-dependent diabetes, which affects 6% of patients, and type 2 diabetes, which affects 92% of patients.
Diabetes results from a lack of insulin and glucagon regulation – these are the two hormones that can reduce the level of glucose in the blood. The effects of diabetes can however be limited by the best non-pharmaceutical treatment: physical activity and sports. Sports have been proven to help manage many chronic illnesses, both physical and mental. Exercising can even reduce the risk of cancer returning and sports have a positive effect on people suffering from depression.
It has been shown that sports activities help to reduce the risk of illness, especially for people with diabetes because their blood vessels are more fragile than those who don't have the condition.
In this article, Superprof focuses on the relationship between sports and health, and the impact of sports coaching on patients suffering from diabetes.
Before purchasing a gym membership or organising personal training sessions at home, it's important to seek medical advice from your doctor.
This is for a few reasons. People can often can believe themselves to be in good health and can uncover an underlying illness when having a check-up.
There are lots of risks involved when a person has diabetes, so it's best to check you are physically capable of exercise before you start. We don't necessarily always know when our health is at risk.
This is why it's reassuring to carry out a check-up so that you can limit the risk of a stroke or other such illness during physical exertion.
It's also important to consult a medical professional before starting an exercise plan because they will be able to advise you on which sports or activities are appropriate and can be best adapted to someone who suffers from diabetes.
Measure your blood pressure and general health – the right kind of exercise is good for lowering blood pressure, but the wrong kind can do you more harm than good!
Being active will inevitably help to improve your level of fitness and physique, as well as blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
The advantage of consulting a doctor before talking to a personal trainer is that if a diabetic person has a family history, a doctor will be able to advise the patient on a suitable exercise training plan.
If practicing a sport serves as a treatment for type 2 diabetes, it's really important to monitor the pace and intensity of the activity, and adjust your diet and insulin dosage accordingly so that you have enough energy to withstand the exertion.
The number one piece of advice that's given to people with diabetes, although it pretty much goes without saying, is to systematically monitor their blood glucose levels before, during and after any physical activity.
A diabetic person's main worry is hypoglycaemia, commonly referred to as a hypo, which is when a person's blood sugar level falls below 4 mmol/L.
This drop in blood sugar can occur up to several hours after exercise, which is why it's so important to keep a close eye on your blood sugar after your work out.
Avoid short bursts of very intense exercise: opt for more endurance-based activities like jogging, cycling, swimming, tennis – and take regular breaks!
Whether you have type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes, you should always keep a close eye on your blood sugar levels and measure them regularly.
An online personal trainer can help you regulate your fitness routine.
Type 1 diabetes when the pancreas doesn't produce and secrete any insulin. This lack of insulin means that glucose stays in the blood and doesn't get used as fuel for energy. The body then tries to reduce the blood glucose levels by excreting in in the urine.
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by the body not producing enough insulin to function properly, or the body's cells not reacting to insulin if it is present. Type 2 diabetes is more often linked to obesity and being overweight, and is usually diagnosed in older people.
Type 2 diabetes is much more common than type 1, and has a tendency to get much worse if proper medical care isn't sought.
We've already mentioned it, but doing sports really does contribute to regulating this problem for diabetics. Exercise has a hypoglycaemic effect: after physical exertion, there is more glucose in the blood before training than afterwards.
In short, physical activity – whether in the gym, at home or outdoors – have a huge impact on diabetes in its ability lower blood glucose levels. This is why we feel thirst and hunger after a workout, because the body needs sugar and water to recuperate.
Whether it's cardio, weights, stretching, pilates, swimming, cycling or team sports, for example, exercise will always prevent the complications of diabetes.
Physical activity helps to get glucose into the muscle cells because the exertion makes the body use up more energy. People with type 1 diabetes can therefore consequently reduce their insulin dosage.
For type 2 diabetes, sport and fitness is enormously therapeutic and beneficial as it makes insulin production more efficient.
This is why athletes are much less likely to develop cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer or obesity, as exercise builds muscle, and keeps the body strong, healthy and in great shape.
Being overweight or obese is a huge factor in bringing on and aggravating diabetes, because the more fat that is in the body, the more the body requires insulin.
If the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin to meet the body's needs, then the person is at high risk of developing diabetes. The fat attached to the cells stops the glucose from getting into the muscles.
This is why weight loss will work wonders for your diabetes! Starting an exercise regime to lose weight and sticking to a lean and nutritious diet will soon bring about astounding results, and improve the symptoms of diabetes – as well as reducing the risks of other illnesses too.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a lack of exercise and a sedentary lifestyle is a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes.
As we mentioned earlier, people suffering with diabetes should opt for low intensity exercise for more prolonged periods of time. So aim for endurance rather than intense intervals.
So try to steer clear of sprinting or any sports that are considered fairly extreme such as climbing, parachuting, motorsports or scuba diving, as it can put a person you at risk of accidents and cardiovascular injury.
When approaching exercise just make sure to set yourself reasonable physical goals based on your current fitness level, metabolism and your type of diabetes. Always start off easy and build your way up to more activity gradually.

Catharine Brown (c. 1800 – July 18, 1823) was a Cherokee woman and missionary teacher at Brainerd Mission School. She was the mission's first Cherokee convert to Christianity and the first Native American woman to see many of her writings extensively published in her lifetime.

Early life

Catharine Brown was born around 1800 to John Brown, in Cherokee known as Yau-nu-gung-yah-ski, and Sarah Webber Brown, in Cherokee Tsa-luh, about 25 miles south east of the Tennessee River at a place known to the Cherokee as Tsu-sau-ya-sah; at that time, it was part of Cherokee Indian territory, but now forms part of the Wills-valley in the State of Alabama between the Raccoon and Lookout mountains.
Her parents were prosperous, her father being one of the "headmen" for the Creek-Path Cherokee community, but had no understanding of the English language despite being considered among the most intellectual class of Cherokee within their nation.

Brainerd Mission School

In the autumn of 1816, Rev. Cyrus Kingsbury, a missionary, appeared before the general Council of the Cherokees and requested permission to build schools for them. The request was well received and Kingsbury established the first Board among the Cherokees before moving on to the Choctaw Nation. The Board convened and selected the place for the first school known as Chick-a-mau-gah. The school was later named Brainerd, in memory of David Brainerd, a renowned missionary to the American Indians at that time. The following spring, Moody Hall and Loring S. Williams arrived at the school, with their wives, as assistant missionaries and soon after the school was opened. The news spread throughout the Cherokee Nation quickly and reached Catharine living about 100 miles away. Catharine was seventeen at the time and had learned to speak English while living at the home of a Cherokee friend. She asked her parents to send her to the missionary school and they granted her request. On July 9, 1817, Catharine became a student at Brainerd Mission School.

Considered both beautiful and docile, Catharine made rapid progress. In the first three months she learnt to read and write in English. This had exceeded the progress of anyone known at the time in this or any other country. Catharine became passionate about all that she learned and then around January 1818 she converted to Christianity and was baptized by the missionaries of the Board.

Women of the mission

For Catharine the community of women at the mission was most likely a comfort to her, as shown in her letters while she was away from them in later years. In some ways, it resembled communities of Cherokee women in the society where she grew up. Cherokee women lived very separate lives from the men. They grew their crops together and performed their rituals apart from men. They had their children alone or with the help of other women. They even followed the Cherokee principle of secluding themselves from men during their menstrual period. They controlled everything surrounding the household while men spent very little time around. For the women at Brainerd, life was very much like that of the typical middle-class white women of the Northeast at that time. They were expected to be pious, chaste and submissive. They often sought each other's company to reassure and affirm those values. The women distanced themselves from Cherokee women who did not necessarily share their views and developed very close ties to one another. Along with the female students they accomplished all the tasks of running the mission together. In addition to this they cared for each other, attended births and shared in responsibilities of child-care. Catharine lamented and mourned the loss of this sense of sisterhood while she was away from Brainerd.

Teaching at Creek-Path

The few years Catharine spent at Brainerd were very tumultuous within Cherokee society. The ever encroaching American settlers and increased pressure on the Cherokee to become "civilized" took its toll on the nation. Some pushed back against this change and kept to the "old ways". Still others embraced the change and took steps towards "civilization." Catharine's family was one of those and for her the mission and school was a hope for the future of Cherokee society. During a time when the very fabric of Cherokee community was being shredded, the missions offered a sense of community. They incorporated women, although as subordinates, while the new Cherokee political position excluded women, a far contrast to the past when women held important roles within the town councils and communities.
In February 1820, a request from Catharine's father to start a mission for boys at Creek Path was heard and provisions to open the school were made. The Creek Path Mission was established in March 1820 by Rev. Daniel S. Butrick and John Arch, a young Cherokee man known as A-tsi. Soon after, a request was made for a girls' school as well. Catharine was chosen to teach there, in part because she had grown up in Creek Path. She reluctantly accepted the charge with mixed emotions about leaving the friends she had met at Brainerd but also felt a strong sense of importance for the work ahead of her.

Brother's illness and her own subsequent death
In 1821, Catharine's brother, John, contracted tuberculosis and began showing symptoms of the deadly disease. Though she felt a strong tug at rejoining her friends and returning to her work, her Cherokee duty compelled upon her the need to help care for her brother. At the time, the Cherokee believed physical illness was the result of a spiritual ailment that could only be cured by performing sacred rituals. While this was rejected by many Christian missionaries, no alternative was introduced and many Christian Cherokees themselves practiced traditional medicine to treat illnesses. It was then no surprise when Catharine joined John's wife on a journey to a sulphur spring in Alabama. To the Cherokee, water had a certain healing property of its own and was manifested in many ways within the culture. One such practice was called "going to water" where they bathed daily in running water to purify themselves. It made perfect sense to seek healing for John's ailments by going to the spring. However, the journey was long and John's health continued to deteriorate so they decided to stop at another spring and made camp. He drank the water and bathed in it but to no avail. Six months later John passed.

After her brother died, Catharine returned home to care for her parents who, by this time, were in their sixties and living in John's home. She visited the missions at Creek Path and Brainerd but had resigned herself to her duty of caring for her aging parents. In a letter to her other brother, David, she expressed a hope to possibly emigrate west and viewed the opportunity to spread her values with a sense of excitement and enthusiasm. However, Catharine had already began to show signs of the same illness that claimed her brother. She sought the help of Dr. Alexander Campbell, a white physician who lived near Limestone, Alabama, but as her condition grew worse her parents became desperate. Much to the dismay of the missionaries at Brainerd her parents entrusted her care to traditional healers. Their prescriptions reportedly helped little and after she had a severe hemorrhage in her lungs they sent for the missionaries. A week later, Dr. Campbell arrived but her condition was very grave. He had Catharine transported to his home so she would be under constant care. Her mother and sister joined her on the journey by litter, canoe and carriage. On the morning of July 18, 1823, Catharine Brown died at Dr. Campbell's home. He was said to remark upon her death, "Thus fell asleep this lovely saint, in the arms of her Savior".

Impact and legacy

After her death, the missionaries at Brainerd commissioned Rufus Anderson to compile a biographical article for Catharine to be included in their magazine, the Missionary Herald. However, so much material was uncovered that the American Board had a book length work published called Memoir of Catharine Brown, A Christian Indian of the Cherokee Nation. While the work exalted the efforts of missionaries to spread the virtues of Christianity to the American Indian, it also suggested that the same work had erased almost all of Catharine's Cherokee identity. In the following years, Catharine's writings were used in political debates about removing the Cherokees and other tribes to Indian Territory in what is now Oklahoma. She was once viewed by literary critics as a victim of early Christian missionaries who, by conversion, became a tragedy because of the loss of her identity. However, as time passed she began to be viewed as a woman representing the lasting revitalization, survival, adaptability and leadership of the Cherokee culture as a whole. Later collections of her letters and diary cemented Catharine's place in early nineteenth-century culture and have had an enduring effect on American perceptions of Native Americans.

In defense of country music
Posted on February 22, 2015 February 22, 2015 by katiekull3
I drove west on I-70, St. Louis in my rearview and endless rolling Missouri country passing at 75 miles per hour, George Strait Pandora blasting on my stereo. My voice rang out high over familiar choruses of Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Brooks and Dunn, Vince Gill, Tim McGraw, Lyle Lovett, Mark Chestnutt… you get the picture.
There's something comforting to me about conquering drives with the whine of the steel guitar and the long drawl of a deep voice. Perhaps it's a feeling of oneness with my surroundings that draws me to listen to Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old) for the 5000000th time (and that's hardly an exaggeration). but more often than not, country music helps me to slip into this strange state of detached nostalgia.
By now you're probably asking yourself why someone like me, a 20 year old from an upper middle class family in the suburbs of Chicago, would ever have any connection to country music at all, let alone the good, old stuff. That's a good question. Before today I don't think that I could have given you a definite answer other than to say that I spent most of my childhood in horse barns and at county or state fairs with my 4H club.
My first CD was Shania Twain's "Come On Over," and I think that the fact that my mom and babysitter always had country music on the radio when I was growing up had something to do with my appreciation of it. When I was little, I used to pretend that I was Shania Twain. I would wear my cowgirl hat as I shook my hips and sang, "Man! I Feel Like A Woman."
When I would go to fairs, even though I rode english style, I would secretly develop crushes on the cowboys that would strut proudly around the horse and livestock barns in their boots and hats.
Needless to say, country music was always in the background of my upbringing, but these days, I can't stand any of the recent music. Some genius of a man did a mash up of six of the last number one country songs and made a mashup to show that they are essentially the same song.
It's frustrating to me that a lot of the songs are the same musically, but that's not the only thing that has changed in country music.
Just past Auxvasse, Alan Jackson's "Drive" came on the station. I hadn't heard the song in ages, and as I sang and the words came back to me, I started to really, really listen. That was when I realized why I love country music so much.
I am a storyteller by trade, by occupation and in spirit. My brain operates like a book— it's constantly narrating the world around me, noticing little nuances and trying to make substantial memories. When I listened to Alan Jackson's "Drive", I could perfectly see every car and every memory that he painted in song.
I like to call it secondhand nostalgia. Sure, I never dumped trash on the side of an old, dirt road in a hand-me-down Ford flatbed truck, but I feel like I did.
Most types of music tell stories to some extent. We call the people who can paint an accurate picture in their songs brilliant lyricists, great rappers, "geniuses"… you get the point.
There are so many different ways of documenting history, but I love country music so much because it paints the story of the hardworking farmer, the cowboy, the sweet, southern woman and really, it's about just about everyone that wants to go out and drink beer and forget their 9-5 job on Friday night.
Country music is people's stories told by the people that grew up there and lived them. You get a chance to peek into someone's memory bank. I think it's simply fascinating from a storyteller's perspective, but also from the perspective of a music lover. Country music (and I'm talking about that good, old stuff) creates an opportunity for us to dream that we are the cowboy, the farmer, the young girl who just wants to leave her small town or the newly married couple trying to make ends meet.
It's people's music. It's people's stories told by a select few, but shared by thousands (maybe even millions).
When I was in seventh grade, my family drove down to Kentucky from our home near Chicago for a volleyball tournament. I remember listening to Garth Brooks Double Live CD the entire way (that's a seven hour drive). No one captures the essence of country music like Garth, in my opinion.
So to emphasize my point, here's a video of him performing "Rodeo". Take a listen and check out the imagery that he creates through the song. He uses such detail in his lyrics, and you really get the feeling that you're there.

It's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats, spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reigns and the joy and the pain and they call the thing Rodeo."

Steam - UI Overhaul Coming Soon
choddo posted a topic in Discussion
Discord Server I reckon Valve could well start to wrap up the PC game publishing market over the next couple of years. I can't be arsed to buy PC games any more because they cost a bit too much and I just don't generally have time. I don't bother to look at the PC shelf in Game any more. But I've bought 3 games off Steam in the last 4 or 5 months (Sin Eps, Darwinia, X3:Reunion), for which the developers probably got more money than they would from a box anyway. I've hardly played them either, because of the time thing but I don't mind buying something for $20 which I'll just have a quick spin on every so often. It's genius for convenience and price. And the fact that every HL2 or CS:s player is right in front of the advertisig channel is a nice bonus for the developers.

Slay the Spire - Roguelike Card-em-up
"The devs have taken the best of the deckbuilding and roguelike genres to craft an immensely deep, frustrating, and gratifying experience. Slay the Spire is a perfect example of "easy to learn, hard to master"." 10/10 – goombastomp "Slay The Spire made me fall in love with deck-building" Rock Paper Shotgun "Slay the Spire is the Roguelike Card Game I Never Knew I Wanted" Waypoint ABOUT MEDIA I've seen this game pop up quite a lot recently and I can see why, I'm about 6 hours in and completely hooked! The only card game I've ever really given the light of day before this was Duelyst and while this is much easier to pick up and play it is by no means any more forgiving. Just now for example I was on an almost flawless run through Act 1 with some of the best items the game was kind enough bestow on me, only for me to get completely rekt halfway through the second act. I've only managed to defeat the second boss during one of the daily runs and it keeps destroying me on the standard quest mode, yet I keep coming back for more. Brutal but fun! So if you're up for a singleplayer card game with easy to understand mechanics that also features a terrific soundtrack then definitely give this a go. I know some of you already own this so I'm curious to learn what strategies you've been using!

The above trailer is pretty... Surprised there hasn't been any interest in this title on here, given the popularity of the Zero Escape series. Written and directed by Kotaro Uchikoshi, it's basically the Jennifer Lopez film 'The Cell', in game form. You play a detective who solves crimes by entering the dreams of others. And like that film, it's pretty grisly. Outside of the trailer, I've been pretty much on blackout for this. It looks right up my street and I'll be day one on its release on July 26th.

Antstream - It's Netflix for Games!
jon_cybernet posted a topic in Discussion
So for the last four years, a sizeable team (including @Anne Summers and myself from Rllmuk) have been working on a retro game streaming platform called Antstream. It lets you play a huge catalogue of retro games, with a single subscription that you can access across multiple devices. Systems supported include everything from the earliest Arcade games through to the best home computers, through to PS1 games - and beyond! Each game on the system has been lovingly curated. We've re-mastered artwork, created control schemes that work across touch controls, keyboards and game pads, and created global and friend leaderboards. For some games, we've even created brand new micro challenges that you can compete against your friends with, from simple score attack trials to more exotic challenges, like boss rushes. The best thing is, every game on the system is fully licensed, so you know that by playing the games, people are actually going to get paid. So after nearly half a decade of work, we're almost ready to break cover. We'll be touring Antstream round several gaming shows in August including Play Expo in London and GamesCom in Cologne, so if you're visiting either of those shows, please come and say hi at our booth. We'll also be announcing our full launch plans really soon. In the meantime though, @Anne Summers and myself will be happy to answer any (well, some) questions here, and if you're interested, we'd love it if you'd like our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/antstreamgames/) and join our mailing list (https://www.antstream.com/mailinglist) - the more interest you guys show the better the licenses we'll get access to. It's a really exciting project, with support from some of the biggest names in gaming, and we'd love to have you help shape what Antstream becomes. Also, there's free cake for anyone who likes our page, and two pieces of cake for anyone who shares it*. Please, let's make this a big success, so that I don't have to go back to writing stories about my terrible dating life. *The cake may be a lie.

PUBG Rllmuk Player Lists for Xbox & PC Here Unlocking on steam early access in 4 hours. http://steamcommunity.com/app/578080/discussions/ The guy made some rather good Arma mods. One of which was battle royale - the basis for this standalone game now using the Unreal engine. "PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter being developed with community feedback. Players must fight to locate weapons and supplies in a massive 8x8 km island to be the lone survivor. This is BATTLE ROYALE." From what I gather this version will have 100 people at the start. solo, duo and 4 man squad varieties - last man/team standing wins. The mod was great fun (as are king of the hill and wasteland) but obviously only accessible to arma players which is a fairly small subset of gamers. Arma is a hardcore millsim which puts off a lot of people. Hopefully a standalone game like this can bring the joy to a wider crowd. Will report back with gameplay impressions later

Alan Wake: Tramp gamers, take a hike!

According to a demonstration at the Intel Developer Forum, Alan wake will need at least a dual-core PC to run due to it implementing 5 seperate threads for each element of its runtime. It is, of course, a 360 game as well - but the real implication here is that we finally have a practical example of 360 development leading to focused multi-core PC development. Oblivion did this too, but ended up only really running on one core on the PC. I really don't know what to think, though. As a primarily PC-based gamer, I usually find it more comfortable to play console adaptations on my PC (when they come out) than to go buy the console itself, but this is really implying that in order to get the best out of the game, I'd need to drop Gs on a Quad Core processor and a PC to go with it. Only a year ago people laughed if you tried to claim that single core AMDs weren't the only way to go for gaming. Now it turns out they'll be useless for Alan Wake, as well as theoretically anything else developed for multi-core consoles. GRATE.

About time too. Let's just hope they don't change the dynamic too much but just add loads more baddies. Switchable weapon parts may be good too as opposed to just BAZILLIONS of weapons.

Steam early access available now... Here's the blurb and here's a video... First and foremost, we're building a FUN racing game with PERSONALITY. It's all about the stuff that really matters: varied tracks, cool cars, and the defining once-in-the-lifetime moments that can be achieved only with true-to-life physics simulation. If you're familiar with the original FlatOut experience, you already know what we're aiming at: exhilarating racing action with sophisticated physics and damage modeling, only this time we're upping the ante on almost every front. This is the game we envisioned way back in the early 2000s, only re-imagined for today's technology and gaming standards. Oh, and we've got full-blown, straight-up demolition derbies, too, to go with your full contact racing. The cars are old, cheap, banged up, patched together, rusty… just awesome! In short, our cars ooze with STYLE! You won't find anything like them in other racing games. We've got variety: everyone loves the old American heavy-hitters from the muscle car era, but we're not neglecting the fun little European and Asian cars from the long-gone decades either. The best part is that you'll be taking them apart and building them back up again in your garage. Need more horsepower on a budget? No problem, scour the classifieds for a bargain supercharger – just remember that a cheap bargain find might not withstand too much punishment! The career is as much about your garage and your project cars as it is about racing. Exciting Engine.Our in-house ROMU engine is a beast. A hell-bent beast that's precision-engineered for high-speed, breakneck racing. You could not create this experience with just any engine. The ROMU engine is all about heavy metal going way too fast and crashing into stuff. At Bugbear we're all about putting you in the driver's seat. That's why our engine is simulating everything, to give you great feedback on what your car is doing. You'll feel the little bumps on the track, the weight of your car when you go over them – and most certainly you'll feel it when you're being dealt some damage, only that getting HURT has never before felt so good! We can't wait to show you what we can do with today's hardware. Now we have fully dynamic visual car damage (no predefined damage models!), and the environments are more destructible than ever before. Essentially, we can now put a ton of flying metal and dirt in the air at any given time, and we certainly will! Pre Order here.... http://nextcargame.com/ The weekend smasher deal is just the game (w Steam key) but you get early access build to play now (as seen in VVV videos). Then you get the full game once here.

Q: Error trying to pass data between activities This is what I have:

        action_type_spin.setAdapter(adapter11);}

        public void onClick(View v) {

            switch(v.getId()){
            case R.id.FIUnitsStart:
                Intent UnitScreen = new Intent(this, UnitScreen.class);
                UnitScreen.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
                startActivity(UnitScreen);
            break;

            case R.id.FIMainResume:
                Intent Main = new Intent(this, Main.class);
                Main.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
                startActivity(Main);
            break;

            Intent pass = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Main.class);
            String keyIdentifer  = null;
            pass.putExtra("Involved", fireinvolvedsave);
    // Getting an error here: fireinvolvedsave cannot be resolved to a variable
            startActivity(pass);}}}

help -- I have 7 activities of data I need to pass back to the main activity so I can place them into an email --- kinda stuck right here

A: fireinvolvedsave can't be seen because you declared it as a local variable a different method to the one you are reading it in; you need to declare it as a field of the activity using, eg, public String etc, after public class FireScreen ... {

public class FireScreen extends Activity implements OnClickListener
{
  private String fireinvolvedsave;

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
  {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.firescreen);

    EditText FIinvolvedtext = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.FIinvolvedtext);
    fireinvolvedsave = FIinvolvedtext.getText().toString();

    // rest of original code for onCreate goes here
  }

  public void onClick(View v)
  {
    // original code etc

    Intent pass = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Main.class);

    // this now has a value:
    pass.putExtra("Involved", fireinvolvedsave);
    startActivity(pass);
  }
}

Try something like
Intent myIntent = getIntent();
String strText = myIntent.getStringExtra("Involved");

and then
emailIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_TEXT, strText);

A: Do this:
final String fireinvolvedsave = FIinvolvedtext.getText().toString();

See if that works.
EDIT: so got confused by your formatting. The core issue is that you are using a method-local variable in an instance function. You need to make it an instance variable of the entire Activity. Your onCreate would now look like this:
String fireinvolvedsave;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.firescreen);

    EditText FIinvolvedtext = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.FIinvolvedtext);
    fireinvolvedsave = FIinvolvedtext.getText().toString();

A: There are a couple of different ways you can do this. e.g. you could make fireinvolvedsave an instance variable as Ben suggested.
However, since you seem to be using it only in your onClick() method, here is the simplest way. Move these lines from onCreate() to onClick():
EditText FIinvolvedtext = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.FIinvolvedtext);
String fireinvolvedsave = FIinvolvedtext.getText().toString();

A: just try this
public class FireScreen extends Activity implements OnClickListener
{
String fireinvolvedsave ;
EditText FIinvolvedtext;
View FIUnitsStart,FIMainResume;
   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
   {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.firescreen);

FIinvolvedtext = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.FIinvolvedtext);
fireinvolvedsave = FIinvolvedtext.getText().toString();

        FIUnitsStart = findViewById(R.id.FIUnitsStart);
        FIUnitsStart.setOnClickListener(this);
        FIMainResume = findViewById(R.id.FIMainResume);
        FIMainResume.setOnClickListener(this);

       Spinner fire_type_spin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.FItypespin);
       ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>
       adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.typespin_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
       adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
       fire_type_spin.setAdapter(adapter);

       Spinner fire_type_array = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.FIareaspin);
       ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>
       adapter1 = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.areaspin_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
       adapter1.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
       fire_type_array.setAdapter(adapter1);

       Spinner action_type_spin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.FIactionspin);
       ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>
       adapter11 = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.actionspin_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
       adapter11.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
       action_type_spin.setAdapter(adapter11);
 }

    public void onClick(View v)
{
            switch(v.getId())
    {
                case R.id.FIUnitsStart: Intent UnitScreen = new Intent(this, UnitScreen.class);
                          UnitScreen.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
                          startActivity(UnitScreen);
                          break;

               case R.id.FIMainResume:Intent Main = new Intent(this, Main.class);
                             Main.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
                             startActivity(Main);
                             break;

               default:         Intent pass = new Intent(FireScreen.this, Main.class);
                    pass.putExtra("Involved", fireinvolvedsave);

With a new album – the fragile and beautifully hushed Songs About Love, Songs About Leaving – set for release on June 8 and an Irish tour now underway, Mark Geary found the time to talk and play exclusively for Hot Press.
Settling into the Workman's Club, Dublin, he ran through some new numbers, including lead single 'Get Here', with some very able backing from Grainne Hunt and Graham Hopkins . After that, it was time for a chat, as Geary mused on the importance of silence, how travel has broadened his mind and the current state of the music industry.

Q: Maven and dependency:sources goals: use alternate repository to download sources? I am working with an enterprise Nexus repository, whose contents is rather static, meaning it is not a copy of central, but a snapshot at some time.
This Nexus repository does not contains sources classifier. Hence, when I launch one of those goals:
mvn dependency:sources
mvn eclipse:eclipse

I've got a lot, if not all, of dependencies without sources.
What I want to do is pretty simple: I want to tell dependency and eclipse plugins that they should use the central repository only when looking for sources.
If that possible natively?
Can I do that with Nexus and how ?

A: If you are not even the manager of this Nexus server you are out of luck. You can only work around it by using another Nexus server, maybe installed locally, that does access central as well as your corporate, locked-down instance.
However, most likely, you are not allowed to do that.. locking it down was the reason to have a static repo in the first place.
I would suggest to work with the Nexus administrator to add javadoc and sources to your static repo.
And btw. I have a little tool that can provision a repository called the Maven Repository Provisioner and it can include javadoc and sources. Check it out at https://github.com/simpligility/maven-repository-tools

Katharina Klement: Peripheries
December 14, 2022 / ISCM – AUSTRIAN SECTION
(Photo of Katharina Klement by Rania Moslam)
Katharina Klement (b. 1963 in Graz, Austria) is a composer-performer in the field of notated and improvised, instrumental and electronic music. Her instrumental and electronic compositions emphasize spatial conceptions and crossover projects combining music, text, video, and performance art. She has a particular interest in extended playing techniques on the piano. A founder and member of numerous ensembles for improvised and collective composed music (e.g. deepseafish-K, éclair, subshrubs, REDOX, USE, soundog, monocle), she has also composed works for Austrian radio and television, "jeunesse" Austria, numerous small ensembles and soloists, the Nobel Prize-seminar Vienna, Linz cultural capital 09, dramagraz, Theater Marie Aarau, festival e-may Vienna, musikprotokoll Graz Austria, Klangforum Wien, institute for media-archeology Austria, and Wien Modern. Her music has been performed in concerts in Austria and abroad, including Festival Kaleidophon Ulrichsberg, Tage für Neue Musik Zürich, Offenes Kulturhaus Linz, festival Inventionen Berlin, festival Midi-Alternativa Moskau, city of women Ljubljana, gallery O´artoteca Milano, SECCA North Carolina, Roulette (New York City), Festival Arts Stay Slowenien, Klangspuren Schwaz, musiques & recherches Bruxelles, and Logan Center for the Arts (Chicago). Since 2006, she has been lecturer in electronic media and computer music at the University for Music and Performing Arts in Vienna.
About her composition Peripheries, Klement writes: In 2014, I spent nine weeks in Belgrade, focusing on the questions, "What does this city sound like? Is it possible to portray it using sounds?" In numerous excursions to different areas of the city, I collected sounds and noises. In addition, I conducted several interviews about the soundscape of Belgrade with people of different ages and backgrounds. The resulting comprehensive acoustic archive, or memory, became the basis of my compositional approach. One characteristic of Belgrade is its numerous peripheries: Even within the historic city center, you may quickly and unexpectedly find yourself in fringe areas. The transitions are sudden – when it comes to sounds, you abruptly move from loud and noisy areas into others that are delicate and subtle. Also, I discovered circles in various contexts: in architecture, in ornaments, in traffic regulations; even time seems to be perceived as circular rather than clocked and linear as it is commonly understood in central Europe. I designed a score by using my city map: The location of my apartment was the center, around which I drew eight concentric circles. During the compositional process, all the recordings from each of these rings were combined into one layer, resulting in eight musical layers. The piece was then composed with eight channels, for a setting that uses eight speakers. Like in an "acoustic blender," selected field recordings (some raw and some processed) create a sustained moment of density: a musical likeness of Belgrade. While the components of this sound portrait are taken from the acoustic reality of the city, the compositional process transforms them, giving them a new quality. Belgrade's highly expressive and captivating character was extracted and abstracted through music. The entire structure is divided into smaller sequences which, however, merge seamlessly.

This might be the best laptop deal you see before Black Friday
Cyber Monday 2019: The best tech deals at Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Newegg,...
Save $500 on this lightweight, convertible MSI laptop, today only
Newegg is selling this convertible MSI laptop for just $1099 after the rebate.
By Ashley Biancuzzo
PCWorld |
Looking for a portable 2-in-1 laptop for work? Well, you're in luck. Today, Newegg is selling the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo for just $1099 after a $100 rebate. That's a whopping $500 off of the original price. The sale ends in about 18 hours, though, so you'll want to act quickly.
Let's talk about the guts and ports. The MSI Summit comes equipped with an Intel Core i7-1185G7 processor, Iris Xe graphics, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 512GB of NVMe SSD. In other words, you should expect very zippy everyday performance. The port selection is pretty diverse, too. You're getting one USB 3.2 Type-C, one USB 4.0 Type-C (DP/Thunderbolt 4), one USB 3.2 Type-A, a micro SD card reader, a webcam lock switch, and audio combo jack.
The convertible aspect of this laptop is super appealing, especially if you're a business professional that travels a lot. You can it prop it up like a tent or swing the 1080p touchscreen display around and use it like a tablet. This deal includes a sleeve for the laptop and a MSI pen for the touchscreen display, too. The pen is a nice bonus, as this type of accessory is normally an additional cost. The minimalist aesthetic is perfect for a professional environment. The bronze trim really sells it for me.
This is a great deal that's going to end soon. If you're really jonesing for something that's both functional and swanky, look no further than the MSI Summit.
[Today's deal: MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo for $1099 at Newegg]

Clarifying Two Areas of Confusion on Privacy Shield: September 30, 2016, Deadline & Effect on Swiss Safe Harbor
By James H. Koenig and Mary-Elizabeth M. Hadley
With the European Commission's ("EC") approval of the U.S.-EU Privacy Shield Framework ("Privacy Shield) on July 12, 2016, many companies are rushing to self-certify to the new compliance mechanism for personal data transfers from Europe to the United States. By certifying in the first two months – by September 30, 2016 – organizations can take advantage of a nine-month grace period from the date they certify to bring their existing commercial relationships and agreements with third parties into conformity with the Accountability for Onward Transfer Principle.
There appears to have been, however, some initial confusion on two key points: (1) the end date for the deadline to receive a nine-month grace period for onward transfers, and (2) the effect of Privacy Shield on the U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Framework. ("Swiss Safe Harbor").
1) September 30, 2016, Certification Deadline
There has been confusion among companies, law firms and consultants that believed September 12, rather than September 30, was the key date for certifying within the first two months of Privacy Shield. Although the EC approved Privacy Shield on July 12, 2016, the Department of Commerce ("Commerce") began accepting self-certification submissions on August 1, 2016 – starting the two-month clock. We have confirmed with Commerce that September 30, 2016, is the key deadline. Companies that want to take advantage of Privacy Shield's flexible, relatively inexpensive compliance framework should consider submitting their self-certifications by that time.
Paul Hastings' Privacy and Cyber Implementation Solutions group has developed a
simple five-step approach
to quickly and cost-effectively achieve certification with the seven Privacy Shield Principles. To learn more about Privacy Shield, including the approaches being taken by others to meet the September 30th deadline, please contact us.
2) Effect on Swiss Safe Harbor Certification
Additionally, some have wondered about the status of the Swiss Safe Harbor and whether it has been impacted by Privacy Shield. Commerce has made clear that organizations joining Privacy Shield will be automatically withdrawn from the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor, but their participation in the Swiss Safe Harbor will not be affected. Accordingly, the
Department's FAQs
recommend that organizations maintain an affirmative commitment to the Swiss Safe Harbor in relevant privacy policies unless they choose to withdraw from the Swiss Safe Harbor and notify Commerce of their withdrawal.
Thus, for now, absent any action from Switzerland to change course, companies seeking to continue transferring the data of Swiss citizens to the United States should maintain their Swiss Safe Harbor certifications.
