Good Trouble: Building a Bigger Tent at the Crossroads of Oppression
Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of the great civil rights icon, Congressman John Lewis. In his 2008 commencement address, he urged Lewis & Clark Law Students to "go out and get into trouble … defending the rights of all humankind". In this blog, we consider how animal protection advocates can expand our circle of compassion to address oppression, in all its forms—because oppression never exists in a vacuum.

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of the great civil rights icon, Congressman John Lewis, as he is laid to rest in Atlanta. As we reflect in honor of the historic occasion, we considered how those in the animal protection movement—for whom it's second nature to envision nonhuman individuals when someone mentions oppression or social justice—can widen the circle of our compassion.
When Congressman Lewis gave the commencement address at Lewis & Clark Law School in 2008, he urged: "As law students… you must go out and get in trouble. You must stand up and speak out and defend the rights of all humankind. That is your mission." We now ask how that directive applies to animal protection advocates.
In a world rife with racism, sexism, ableism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of oppression, the life of kindness that we aspire to achieve can be more expansive. One way of doing this is by embracing a more holistic approach to our advocacy—because it is increasingly clear that wherever nonhuman animals are exploited, humans, especially those who are historically marginalized, are usually exploited too. And, we must regard these exploited humans as also deserving of our activism when we "stand up and speak out" for the oppressed. This has never been more evident than in recent months.
As COVID-19 has ravaged our country, it has revealed that those charged with the work of slaughtering the billions of farmed animals that we fight to protect are commonly immigrants and people of color. These are the same people who quickly became infected with COVID-19, who were then forced to return to work as "essential workers", and without adequate regard for their safety. To date, it is estimated that more than 37,000 meatpacking workers have tested positive for COVID-19 in the U.S. and more than 170 have died, according to the Food and Environment Reporting Network. The pandemic has laid bare that the same corporations that exploit farmed animals are also exploiting people and the environment, as they grab ever more profits at the expense of those they oppress.
The crossroads of oppression were evident yet again when xenophobia fueled by the recent COVID-19 outbreak caused a surge in anti-Asian bias. Those who stigmatize one group as being the "source" of a virus outbreak are often oblivious to the role of the U.S. in creating conditions that facilitate the spread of zoonotic diseases. The first wave of the 1918 influenza pandemic, which eventually killed an estimated 50 to 100 million people worldwide, likely began on a farm in Kansas. Scientists—including most recently in the U.N. Environment Programme Report, Preventing The Next Pandemic: Zoonotic Diseases and How To Break the Chain of Transmission—have raised the alarm that factory farming is creating dangerous conditions that could fuel the next pandemic.
A further example of oppression that animal protection advocates should address when we talk about social justice is the inequity of access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Those fortunate enough to live in an area with a decent grocery store or, better yet, a farmer's market, may not recognize it as a privilege frequently denied to many lower-income communities and communities of color. This economic inequality is yet another form of oppression—one that is sometimes overlooked in discussions urging a plant-based lifestyle. And, of course, few of us would have plant-based foods were it not for the farm workers who plant, grow, and harvest the produce we eat. We cannot talk about social justice and a plant-based lifestyle while also ignoring the remarkable labor of these farm workers—2.4 million across the country—the vast majority of whom are new immigrants when they start, and, for over half of them, their undocumented status keeps them from receiving basic protections that so many of us take for granted.
Finally, we cannot effectively work toward justice without joining the national reckoning about long-standing structural racism, following the murder of George Floyd. Racial justice protests have inspired people around the country to re-examine how our everyday actions can be more inclusive, more compassionate, and how silence in the face of injustice can too often connote agreement. At the Center for Animal Law Studies, we are listening and learning more intently. We are also asking ourselves and our colleagues throughout the movement how we can all do more to combat structural racism, support criminal justice reform, and facilitate a more diverse and inclusive animal rights/protection movement.
So as we honor the life and legacy of John Lewis, we can and must expand our tent as animal protection advocates to address oppression, in all its forms—because oppression never exists in a vacuum. There are no easy answers. But we can start by taking the time to recognize—wherever we see the oppression of nonhuman animals—the other forms of oppression that are right before our eyes. When we start to examine how oppression affects humans and nonhumans alike, we will move toward a holistic approach to advocacy that is not only more inclusive, but also more effective.
As for John Lewis, in an interview with Krista Tippet entitled Love in Action, he described how his own circle of compassion as a child began with the flock of chickens on the family farm:
"I loved those chickens. I talked to those chickens. I preached to those chickens, and I used to cry when my mother or father wanted to kill one of those chickens for dinner. They became part of my life. And my first nonviolent protest was protesting against my parents for getting rid of those chickens."
The child who nonviolently protested to protect the lives of the chickens to whom he preached went on to change the world by nonviolently protesting Jim Crow laws, leading to the passage of the Voting Rights Act.
As we move forward in our animal protection work, let us all ask how we can get into "good trouble" defending the rights of all the oppressed—because whether human or nonhuman, their suffering compels us to speak up and make a difference.
The Center for Animal Law Studies (CALS) was founded in 2008 with a mission to educate the next generation of animal law attorneys and advance animal protection through the law. With vision and bold risk-taking, CALS has since developed into a world-renowned animal law epicenter, with the most comprehensive animal law curriculum offered anywhere. In addition, CALS is the only program that offers an advanced legal degree in animal law and three specialty Animal Law Clinics. CALS is a nonprofit organization and is only able to provide these educational opportunities through donations and grants.

The Chasm Between Racial Optimism and Reality
Five decades after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., equality, for many, remains a distant dream.
KING Issue
Hank Willis Thomas*
Editor's Note: Read The Atlantic's special coverage of Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy.
In 1868, the abolitionist and orator Anna E. Dickinson published What Answer?, a novel that explored, in a manner revolutionary for its time, the subject of interracial marriage. The Atlantic assigned its assistant editor, William Dean Howells, to review the book. Howells, who would later become the magazine's editor in chief, was, in the years following the Civil War, something of a racial optimist. He opened his review by recounting a story told to him by one of The Atlantic's most important contributors:
Mr. Frederick Douglass said the other day that times were when his color would secure him the advantage of a whole seat in a railroad car, but that since the war he was by no means safe from molestation. He told a good story of a citizen with conquered prejudices, who stirred him up out of his nap on the cars recently, and demanded a place beside him. "I'm a nigger," said Mr. Douglass, showing his head from beneath the shawl in which it had been wrapped. "I don't care what you are," answered the liberal-minded intruder; "I want a seat."
Howells seems to have derived too much hope from this story. He acknowledged that some whites—in particular "those low-down Democrats who spell negro with two g's"—would not allow expediency or reality to mitigate their enmity for black people. But he nevertheless argued that "there is a great deal to be hoped from human selfishness, fortunately, and we shall not despair of mankind while we all continue so full of egotistical desires and interested ambitions. Pure cussedness is much rarer than would appear."
Howell's sanguinity, born of the recent Union victory and the seeming advances of Reconstruction, was premature. Whites would not, in sufficiently meaningful numbers, come to understand either the practical or the moral advantages of racial equality. Thirty-two years after Howell's review, W. E. B. Du Bois would write in these pages that the "problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line." And 62 years after Du Bois made this prediction, The Atlantic would publish Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter From Birmingham Jail" under the title "The Negro Is Your Brother." The letter, one of the immortal documents of American history, could be read as a refutation of post-Reconstruction hopefulness, and as proof of the accuracy of Du Bois's prediction:
We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God-given rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence, but we still creep at horse-and-buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter.
The hope of well-meaning people is that the color line will not be the chief problem of the 21st century—but the analysis of realists, particularly in the wake of the 2016 presidential contest, indicates that matters of inequality and racism may be with us for decades to come.
When Vann R. Newkirk, one of our staff writers, and Adrienne Green, the magazine's managing editor, proposed that we publish a special edition to mark the 50th anniversary of King's assassination, I was intrigued, but also concerned that such an issue be an exploration of our fraught moment, and not merely a devotional artifact. My colleagues suggested that we use this opportunity to refract King's life through the prism of his three main preoccupations—the "three major evils," as he called them—of racism, poverty, and militarism. Working with the entire magazine team, including Scott Stossel, the magazine's editor, and Burt Solomon, this project's editor, Newkirk and Green and their collaborators invested this issue with urgency, argument, beauty, and truth.
Howells, in his review of Dickinson's novel, aligned The Atlantic's "most earnest and hearty sympathies" with the cause of the "largest individual freedom." This was Martin Luther King Jr.'s cause as well, and we are proud to advance it with this issue.

Eleven riders met on a bright but windy evening for a run to Brimham Rocks.
There were more mechanicals than normally experienced on a ride starting with Monty's chain breaking almost at the off. Nick and Harry stayed to help whilst the rest of the group headed out of Harrogate by Oakdale Bridge, past the Army College over the A59 and down into Hampsthwaite.
Rode at an easy pace through Shaw Mills and Bishop Thornton before turning left for the steady climb up to Brimham with superb views over the surrounding countryside and a beautiful sunset to enjoy as we ascended. After a short stop for Karl to check out an unexplained creak in his front end ( his bike, that is ) we headed off in the direction of Hartwith Bank where we met up again with Monty, Nick and Harry, who'd just climbed it.
It was now getting quite dark and the descent of the bank into Summerbridge was real white knuckle stuff but the bike handling skills of the Cappo boys saw everyone down safely to cross into Dacre for the climb up Dacre bank. Turned through Darley for the customary fast run by the river to Birstwith and on to Hampsthwaite where very strangely Martin P punctured at exactly the same spot he'd crashed in April. Unfortunately, the delay fixing the flat tyre scuppered most riders plans for a post- ride pint enjoying the many attractions of the Knox Arms.
Ride Distance about 32 miles.

Grouse Mountain Resort sells for second time in two years
By Jeremy Shepherd, North Shore News | January 3, 2020, 7:14am
Grouse Mountain | Credit: Constantin Dimitriev, Shutterstock
For the second time in two years, the ownership of Grouse Mountain Resort is changing hands.
Northland Properties Corporation, which owns hotels, the Revelstoke Mountain Resort, and a chain of diners, announced an agreement to buy the popular resort Thursday (January 2).
The resort was previously sold to a consortium that included China Minsheng Investment Group in July 2017 for a reported $200 million.
Northland Properties declined to disclose their purchase price.
The deal is expected to close at the end of January, according to Northland Properties chief marketing and digital officer Manoj Jasra.
In the short term, there may be investments in facilities and infrastructure such as trams, he said. However, the company is not about to erect new buildings on the mountaintop, he added.
"We don't have immediate plans to say, build a hotel up there," he said.
Noting the company owns 60 Denny's restaurants in Canada, Jasra said he wasn't sure "if Denny's will show up at Grouse Mountain or not."
Asked about the challenges of running a mountain resort amid increasingly unpredictable weather patterns, Jasra emphasized that Grouse is a year-round attraction.
"Although climate change is definitely upon the world immensely . . . we saw a great business investment," he said.
Grouse Mountain Resort employees were informed of the change of ownership Thursday morning, according to the resort's communications manager Julia Grant.
Northland CEO Tom Gaglardi, who is also the owner and governor of the Dallas Stars of the NHL, stated in a press release the company would "maintain and evolve the iconic Grouse Mountain experience."
Northland Properties Corporation is owned by the Gaglardi Family with headquarters in Vancouver.
The company has not yet met with representatives from the District of North Vancouver, according to the municipality's communications officer Courtenay Rannard.
"[We] look forward to doing so to better understand the long-term plans moving forward, as this is an important, local community mountain and landmark in North Vancouver," Rannard wrote in an email.

Singer Cardi B Could Face 4 Years In Prison (Read Details)
October 20, 2021 admin Gossip 0
Cardi B has pleaded not guilty to assault charges and could face 4-years in prison following her alleged involvement in a strip club brawl back in 2018.
The rapper will head to Queens Criminal Court on Oct. 25, where she will be scheduled for a hearing, according to CBS 2 News.
The Bronx native pleaded not guilty at her arraignment back in 2019, after being indicted on 12 counts including two counts of felony for attempted assault and a charge for reckless endangerment, the report noted.
Cardi is accused of orchestrating an attack on the Wattley sisters, who were bartending at the strip club in Flushing, Queens, during the incident.
The sisters said the Grammy-award-winning artist and two of her close associates allegedly threw glass bottles and drinks at them during their scuffle.
One sister even claimed that her head was slammed into the bar during the altercation.
Court documents state that Cardi B planned the attack with two of her friends, Tawana Jackson-Morel and Jeffrey Bush, over social media where the trio coordinated a date, time and location to assault the bartending sisters.
Sources say the rapper allegedly orchestrated the attack to retaliate against one of the sister's whom she believed slept with her husband Offset at the time.
If convicted, both Cardi and her friends face up to four years in prison.

Open Forum: It's time to limit charter schools
Opinion // Open Forum
By Jeremy Mohler March 20, 2019 Updated: March 20, 2019 5:13 p.m.
FILE - In this Thursday, Feb. 21, 2019 file photo teachers, students and supporters hold signs at Frank Ogawa Plaza in front of City Hall in Oakland, Calif. Teachers in Oakland hit the picket lines just as West Virginia teachers went back to class this week in a display of the national teacher unrest that in many places has moved beyond pay to politics, tackling issues like charter schools and vouchers. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu,File)

Charter schools have become a politically complicated issue in recent years — highly contentious yet sometimes a little overblown.
But there's no question it's time to slow their growth, which has been fueled by many states allowing for a virtually unlimited number of charter schools to open.
Charter schools, which are publicly funded but privately managed, don't compare well overall with traditional neighborhood schools. Charter schools close more often, pay teachers less and are more segregated and less transparent about spending taxpayer money while generally performing about the same on standardized testing.
But the big reason for limiting their numbers is that they're draining funds from public school districts. In cities such as Chicago and Oakland, they're even beginning to threaten the existence of neighborhood schools.
Nationwide, funding for public education is drying up. Total state and local K-12 funding per student is well below what it was before 2008. (California increased funding for education by 10 percent between 2013 and 2015, but still spends less per student than the national average.)
Priorities have shifted as well, with students from poor and working families suffering as a result. Spending on prisons and jails has increased at triple the rate of public education funding in the past three decades. Seventeen states send more education dollars to wealthier districts than to high-poverty ones. More than 1.5 million students attend a school that has a law enforcement officer but no school counselor.

The sharpest example might be Oakland, which has the highest percentage of students in charter schools in California.
Striking teachers there recently achieved demands that you'd expect, like higher pay and more resources for students. Yet they also forced district leadership to hold a vote on whether to demand that state leaders pass a moratorium on new charter schools.
In January, striking teachers in Los Angeles all but forced their district to call for such a moratorium. Days later, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the creation of a statewide panel to study the fiscal effect of charter school growth.
Some of that work already has been done. Research by In the Public Interest has shown that charter schools cost San Diego's school district $66 million a year. This has led to cuts in counseling, libraries, special education and other critical services in that city's schools.
In Oakland, where district leadership is proposing to close 24 of its 86 neighborhood schools, charter schools cost $57 million a year.
West Virginia's teachers didn't want to get to that point. Last month, they walked off the job to protest now-dead legislation that would have opened up the state to charter schools.
When a student leaves a neighborhood school to attend a charter school, all the public funding for that student — say $10,000 a year — leaves with the student. But all the costs do not. The student's old school can't easily reduce it expenses by $10,000 — it can't spend less on fixed costs, like air conditioning and toilet paper, and its principal can't work part time.
As more students attend charter schools, neighborhood schools are forced to make cuts that take resources from students.
Most charter school leaders and supporters recognize this problem. They acknowledge that charter schools originally were intended to allow educators to test innovative ways to teach students.
Yet, some supporters and funders openly aim to replace neighborhood schools. They fund school board candidates who support creating more charter schools. The Walton Family Foundation, for instance, has spent more than $1 billion nationwide pushing charter schools. And Netflix founder Reed Hastings wants charter schools to educate 90 percent of California's students.
Ultimately, parents just want a great education for their children. Most don't care whether it's in a neighborhood school or charter school. Teachers want a living wage and enough resources to best educate and care for their students.
States must learn from the decades-long experiment with charter schools and reform their laws to ensure that all public school students can attend great schools.

Он вошел в саундтрек к фильму «Жестокие игры». Есть две версии клипа, обе сняты в Brixton Academy. Одна из них включает отрывки из фильма «Жестокие игры».

История
Сингл был записан в начале 1998 года в студии Real World Studios со Стивом Осборном. Когда его спросили, о ком идет речь, Брайан Молко ответил:

О своем выборе включить сингл в саундтрек «Жестоких игр» Молко сказал, что ранее он изучал драму и прекрасно знаком с романом «Опасные связи».

Jets Open 2019 Preseason Schedule 'on the Road' vs. Giants
Randy Lange
NYJets.com Contributor
It's "only" the opening preseason game. But the Jets' Week 1 date with the Giants at MetLife Stadium, revealed today as part of the Green & White's preseason schedule announcement, still has a lot going for it.
Even though it will be the Jets' road game, it will be the first time that new head coach Adam Gase, recently signed RB Le'Veon Bell, MLB C.J. Mosley and all the new Jets young and old will have the opportunity to play in the stadium they will call home for 10 more dates, two in the preseason and eight in the regular season, in 2019.
It will also be an introduction for all the new Jets players and coaches into the Jets-Giants preseason rivalry as it enters its second half-century after the teams played for the 50th game in the NFL's longest-running preseason series last year. The game's normal spot on the schedule is the third week of the preseason, but with their regular-season meeting ahead (Jets as the home team), the teams moved this year's meeting to the front of the deck.
And in this game the Jets players will make their debut in their new road uniforms that were unveiled last week in midtown Manhattan. Assuming the Giants wear their blue jerseys, the Jets will likely wear their new white jerseys and pants, a white/white combo they've worn in summer road games vs. the Giants for over 20 years (although they wore white jerseys and green pants in their most recent regular-season road game vs. their long-time stadium mates in 2015).
As for the rest of the Jets' preseason schedule, they will play three more NFC opponents — Atlanta on the road in Week 2 in their first visit to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, followed by home games at MetLife against NFC title game participant New Orleans in that all important three-hole, and against Philadelphia in the green teams' 19th consecutive meeting in the final week of the preseason.
Here are more notes on the Jets' four preseason opponents announced today (dates and times to come):
Week 1 (Aug. 8-11) — at New York Giants, MetLife Stadium, WNBC
The Jets and Giants will play in their preseason opener for only the third time. ... The last time was in 2010 in the first NFL game played at then-New Meadowlands Stadium, won by the visiting Giants, 31-16. ... The preseason rivalry begins its second 50 games after the Giants last summer prevailed, 22-16, in the 50th annual summer matchup. ... Sam Darnold passed for his second preseason TD to give the Jets a 13-7 second-quarter lead. ... Jets free agent rookie LB Frankie Luvu notched his first pro sack, of future teammate Davis Webb, in the third period. ... The Jets have won five of the last six and nine of the last 11 as the road team in this summer series and lead the preseason rivalry overall, 25-24-1.
Week 2 (Aug. 15-18) — at Atlanta Falcons, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, WCBS
The Jets' only preseason win in 2018 was in the opener at home over the Falcons, 17-0. ... It was the Green & White's first preseason shutout since 1990 at KC and their first home preseason shutout ever. ... Darnold came in with 8:41 left in the second quarter for his first pro game action and led a 64-yard drive to his first pro TD pass with 46 seconds left in the half. ... LB Neville Hewitt led the defense with 8 tackles and his first interception as a Jet. ... The win was the Jets' third straight over the Falcons in the preseason and lifted them to a 7-4 summer series lead. ... The Jets' first game in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, opened last year, will also be CB Brian Poole's first game in the stadium he called home as a Falcon in 2017 and '18. ... The last preseason game for the Jets in Atlanta was 1981, a 21-20 loss at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium.
Week 3 (Aug. 22-25) — vs. New Orleans Saints, MetLife Stadium, WCBS
The Jets will play the Saints in the preseason for the first time since 2004 (a 23-13 loss at NO) and for the first time at home since '03 (a 22-17 loss at old Meadowlands Stadium). ... The Jets' last win in the summer series was by 24-20 at home in the 2000 opener, with Wayne Chrebet catching a TD pass from Vinny Testaverde and "the Four Aces" — Shaun Ellis and John Abraham (1 sack each), Chad Pennington (10-of-13 passing) and Anthony Becht (TD catch from Ray Lucas) — making auspicious pro debuts. ... CB Parry Nickerson will be going up against his hometown team (he was raised in the New Orleans area and played at Tulane).
Week 4 ( Aug. 29-31) — vs. Philadelphia Eagles, MetLife Stadium, WCBS
The Jets lost an ugly preseason finale last year at the Linc, 10-9, as the Eagles scored the game's only touchdown on a 4-yard pass from Joe Callahan to Matt Jones with 18 seconds to play. ... Jets K Jason Myers first showed his booming right leg when he nailed a 58-yard FG 6:33 into the game, tying the franchise record for second-longest FG in any game, preseason or regular season. ... Despite the loss, the Jets still lead the summer series with the Birds, 24-16. ... The Green & White have taken the last three and nine of the last 10 at home.

George B. McCle...
George B. McClellan was an American soldier, political leader, railroad executive and civil engineer. McClellan began his military career as a second lieutenant and served in the 'Mexican-American War.' He later quit the army to work in railroads, but re-joined the army as a major general during the 'American Civil War.' He played an important role in organizing union forces during the initial phase of the 'American Civil War,' but he was criticised for his repeated failures to aggressively go after Confederate army. His 'Peninsula Campaign' failed after the 'Seven Days Battle' and he lost the 'Battle of Antietam' against 'Confederate troops.' As a result of this, President Lincoln removed him from command in November 1862. In 1864, the Democratic Party nominated him for the presidency against Abraham Lincoln. He later served as governor of New Jersey.

Male Leaders
Sagittarius Leaders
Born on December 3, 1826, into an affluent Scottish family in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, George Brinton McClellan was one of the five children born to Dr. George McClellan, a prominent British surgeon who established the 'Jefferson Medical College; and Elizabeth Sophia Steinmetz Brinton McClellan, a Pennsylvania Dutch.
He had two sisters, Frederica and Mary, and three brothers John, George, and Arthur.
He attended the 'University of Pennsylvania' to study law but did not graduate. Two years later, in 1842, he decided to join the army.
With his father's recommendation to President John Tyler, McClellan was selected to West Point despite not attaining the eligible age of 16 years.
He graduated from West Point in 1846 with a second rank in his class.
Who Is The Most Popular BTS Member?
American Military Leaders
American Political Leaders
Sagittarius Men
McClellan was drafted as a brevet second lieutenant in the 'Army Corps of Engineers,' and his first assignment was the 'Mexican-American War' (1846-48) in which he served as an engineering officer. Despite contracting malaria and dysentery during the war, he displayed fine skills during combat. He was promoted to captain for his bravery at Chapultepec.
His experiences in combat shaped his military and political career, as he learned the strategies organization, discipline, and training.
Peacetime Service
Post the war, McClellan returned to 'West Point' and served as an engineer for three years. He was then sent to the western frontier.
In 1852, he published a translated version of the bayonet tactics manual.
In 1853, he was ordered to design an appropriate route for the transcontinental railroad under the 'Pacific Railroad' surveys.
Impressed by his intelligence and mastery in French, the-then U.S. secretary of war, Jefferson Davis, sent him to Europe as an official observer of the European troops in the 'Crimean War' in 1855.
He used the Russian model to design a horse saddle, which eventually came to be known as "McClellan Saddle." The 'U.S. War Department' adopted the saddle and continued to be the U.S. horse cavalry's standard issue equipment until 'World War II.' It is still used for ceremonies.
Railroad Career
McClellan quit the army in 1857 and served as chief engineer and vice president of the 'Illinois Central Railroad' and assisted Ohio and Mississippi recover from the financial crisis (Panic of 1857). By 1860, he was promoted as president of the 'Ohio and Mississippi River Railroad.'
Dissatisfied with civilian employment, he continued to study classical military strategy and decided to re-join the army during the 'Utah War.' Around the same time, he developed interest in politics and supported the 1860 presidential campaign of Democrat Stephen A. Douglas.
Re-joining the Army
McClellan returned to the army during the outbreak of the 'American Civil War' in 1861. On April 23, 1861, he was drafted as a major general of volunteers and assumed duties of the Ohio militia.
He served as commander of the 'Department of Ohio' and was responsible for the defence of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, western Pennsylvania, western Virginia, and Missouri. He became a major general in the American Army in May 1861.
McClellan was nicknamed "The Young Napoleon" after winning a series of small combats in western Virginia.
His first assignment was to disperse small units of armed forces across the Ohio River into western Virginia to fragment Confederate divisions. After the loss of Union at the 'First Battle of Bull Run,' President Abraham Lincoln appointed him as commander of the 'Army of the Potomac.'
Along with Jacob Cox, McClellan moved to Columbus to inspect Ohio's weapons and other supplies to equip all the state's militia units. Despite the lack of equipment, Ohio Governor William Dennison decided to revive the militia system and establish units to be sent to the capital Columbus. Dennison entrusted McClellan to command the units and ordered him to devise a professional force.
His excellent marshalling skills turned the troops into a solid fighting unit, and by November 1861, the troops had fortified the capital, Washington, D.C.
McClellan was appointed the general-in-chief of the Union Army in November 1861. Despite having a massive force, he was hesitant to attack the Confederate army, as he suspected the Confederate army to be superior to that of the Union.
The inactivity annoyed President Abraham Lincoln and the newly appointed Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton. In January 1862, the 'Army of the Potomac' was ordered to move south into the Confederate territory.
McClellan was removed from his service in March 1862 and was instructed to focus on southern advance.
Peninsula Campaign
McClellan started his amphibious 'Peninsula Campaign' in March 1862. His 'Army of the Potomac' marched east toward the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. He was initially successful in landing and marching his army toward Richmond.
He, however, allowed the massive force of Confederate defenders, under General Joseph E. Johnston, to withdraw into the city defences so that he could have time to receive reinforcements.
After some minor combats, General Robert E. Lee took the Confederate army under his command. McClellan thought that the Confederates had a larger army than his and hence stopped his march on the city to wait for the reinforcements.
In the 'Seven Days Battles,' General Lee attacked the 'Army of the Potomac.'
President Lincoln declined to send more reinforcements and ordered the 'Army of the Potomac' to withdraw. McClellan was removed from the command of the 'Army of the Potomac' but was reappointed after the defeat of the Union at the 'Second Battle of Bull Run.'
Battle of Antietam
General Lee attacked the North during the 'Maryland Campaign' in September 1862, and McClellan was asked to stop the Confederate march, which resulted in the 'Battle of Antietam' on September 17, 1862, at Antietam Creek near Sharpsburg, Maryland. His Army successfully breached the Confederate lines. He stopped keeping a portion of his Army in reserve and let Lee enter Virginia.
It is interesting to note, McClellan had the copies of the Confederate battle plans, but still nobody won the 'Battle of Antietam.'
President Lincoln removed McClellan from command of the 'Army of the Potomac' in November 1862, as he believed that he wasted an opportunity to crush the 'Army of Northern Virginia.' He would never receive another military command.
McClellan, who was now a critic of Lincoln, ran against him in the Presidential election of 1864 representing the 'Democratic Party.' He lost the election and resigned his commission.
He then lived in Europe for several years and returned to the U.S. in 1870. He supervised the construction of a floating battery in New York.
In 1870, He was appointed the chief of New York's department of docks and served as president of the 'Atlantic and Great Western Railroad.'
Service as Governor & Later Years
From 1878 to 1881, McClellan served as governor of New Jersey. As the governor, he reformed the administration and military programs of the state.
In his final years, he wrote a memoir, 'McClellan's Own Story,' which was published posthumously in 1887.
Personal Life & Death
During his peacetime service, McClellan met Mary Ellen Marcy, the daughter of one of his former commanders. The eventually fell in love and got married.
They had two children: Mary "May" McClellan and George B. McClellan Jr.
McClellan died due to a heart attack on October 29, 1885.

The Firehouse Space presents: FURNISHED SOUND, an exhibit and performance. Featuring Ken Butler and Ed Potokar with special guests Terry Dame and Chris Butler.
Re-thinking the possibilities of domestic objects, artist-musicians Butler and Potokar combine their unique sensibilities as instrument designers and performers to explore the merging of form and function in a collective living space. Crossing the boundaries of art and design, the artists present an integrated installation that includes Butler's "Urban Grand Piano", which plays live radios and projects images, and Potokar's very playable "Two String Bass Dining Chair" and "Drum Table", forming a tantalizing piano trio ready for an unusual and transformative musical journey. Expect odd juxtapositions, angular audio projections, and other hybrid antics.
An opening reception begins both nights at 7:00pm. Performances will begin at 8:00pm downstairs, then upstairs.
Ken Butler is an artist and musician whose Hybrid musical instruments, performances, installations, and other works explore the interaction and transformation of common and uncommon objects, altered images, sounds and silence. He studied viola as a child and maintained an interest in music while studying visual arts in France, at Colorado College, and Portland State University where he completed his MFA in painting in 1977. His works have been featured in numerous exhibitions and performances throughout the USA, Canada, and Europe including The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Mass MoCA, The Kitchen, The Brooklyn Museum, The Queens Museum, Lincoln Center , The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, as well as museums in South America, Thailand, and Japan. His works have been reviewed in The New York Times, The Village Voice, Artforum, Smithsonian, and Sculpture Magazine and have been featured on PBS, CNN, MTV, and NBC, including a live appearance on The Tonight Show. Awards include fellowships from the Oregon Arts Commission, the New York Foundation for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Pollack/Krasner Foundation.
Ed Potokar, the son of a latin jazz and polka drummer, started his art, design and musical career as a curious adolescent in Cleveland. He created homemade instruments as a teen and later mastered his skills at The Cleveland Institute of Art, where he earned a BFA. While there, he joined his first band and played a custom welded steel drum kit with hammers and grinders. Potokar then began inventing and fabricating unique musical instruments, affectionately referred to as the "boxes." These analog synthesizers helped create a signature sound and serve as the foundation for the renowned punk/funk/art/metal/wave musical group, the Audio Artists. After moving the New York City, he founded MUSIC FOR TV, a successful downtown Manhattan music production house, and wrote the theme music for MTV's "Unplugged." He also toured with groups in North and South America and Europe. Potokar has created his own line of high-end ribbon microphones called Potofones, and has designed and built custom homes and designer furniture.
Terry Dame is a composer, multi-instrumentalist and instrument builder. Daughter of a piano teacher from a small western Massachusetts town, she began playing trumpet and piano at age 8 and continued playing into hight school. Upon entering college she put music aside and studied engineering, graduating with a degree in Environmental Design from the University of Massachusetts. After working a desk job at an environmental planning agency for about a year, she couldn't resist her creative impulses, so she bought a synthesizer and started composing and performing music with a local theater company. Dame moved to New York City in 1985 to study audio engineering at the Institute for Audio Research in Greenwich Village. On the first day of classes she drove to school, which turned out to be about 6 blocks from her apartment, couldn't find a parking spot and went home never to return, deciding once and for all a career in engineering wasn't meant to be. She has been living in New York City composing and performing for film, video, theater, dance, and concerts ever since. She joined the Women's One World (WOW) theater collective and produced four multi-media concert performances from 1986-1990. In 1994, she scored her first feature film collaborating with director Maria Maggenti on "The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love." Additional collaborations include film makers Judith Helfand, Jennie Livingston, Diane Bonder and Erin Greenwell, performing artists Lisa Kron and Jennifer Miller and The Split Britches Theater Company and choreographer Jennifer Monson.
Chris Butler, a seminal New Waver from Cleveland, OH, has spent 40+ years with one foot in the pop music world, one foot in the experimental avant-garde, and a third foot in his mouth trying to justify being in both. Chris has been extracting crude/beautiful noises from Ed Potokar's extraordinary instruments at live shows, gallery openings and on recordings, and has been a fan of Ken Butler (no relation genetically, 100% related esthetically) since sharing the bill with him at a Catskill, NY performance that must have thoroughly confused the three and a half members of the audience. Chris is thrilled to play with both of these geniuses, and welcomes the break from his current projects-promoting "Easy Life", an audio/theatrical CD of songs and spoken work pieces relating to the murder of four students at Kent State on May 4th, 1970, and finishing a new CD of songs about being oldoldold called "Got It Togehter!" (misspelling intentional).

Sources: Feds identify Philly woman in probe of secret recordings at GOP retreat

Federal authorities have identified a Philadelphia journalist as the woman who infiltrated and might have secretly recorded a closed-door discussion of congressional Republicans at their Center City retreat last week, according to law enforcement sources familiar with the matter.
After a probe involving multiple agencies, they said Emily Guendelsberger is unlikely to face federal charges in Philadelphia, despite getting past security and into a room in the Loews hotel where Vice President Pence met privately with senators and representatives.
But it is unclear whether she could face local prosecution for covertly recording the conversations, a possible violation of state law. That decision falls to the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, according to the sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly about the case.
Cameron Kline, spokesman for the District Attorney's Office, declined to say Friday whether the office was involved in any such investigation. The Capitol Police, who are responsible for security at congressional events, would not discuss the ongoing investigation.
Guendelsberger and her lawyer, Lloyd Long, also declined to comment. Law enforcement officials said both were contacted this week by Capitol Police, who are leading the investigation with aid from the U.S. Secret Service and the Philadelphia Police Department.
Guendelsberger, 33, is a freelance journalist who formerly worked as a copy editor at the Daily News, at Philadelphia City Paper, and as an editor for the Onion, the satirical newspaper and website.
The secret recordings she is suspected of making were later released anonymously to a half-dozen media outlets, including the Inquirer. The stories they fueled also stirred calls from congressional Republicans to determine how an intruder managed to bypass security and record their private gathering.
One recording revealed lawmakers airing concerns about the practical difficulties of repealing and replacing former President Barack Obama's health-care law and discussing other hot-button political issues. Another included audio from a session with Pence, suggesting the intruder was in the same room.
The sources familiar with the investigation said Friday that Guendelsberger gained access by saying she was the wife of a legislator. Investigators believe she made the recordings but have not yet confirmed it, the sources said.
The Congressional Institute, the nonprofit that organized the retreat, said in an email to lawmakers last week that the intruder "misrepresented herself" several times and used counterfeit credentials.
However, she went through the same security checkpoints as every other attendee at the conference, said the letter, obtained last Saturday by the Associated Press.
Secret Service spokesman Martin Mulholland said Friday that Trump and Pence were never in any danger.
"We're very confident with our Secret Service operations, how they went down in this instance and how it happens in every instance as far as protecting the president and vice president," he said.
Guendelsberger, who has also previously written for the Inquirer and the Daily News, gained notice in 2015 with a City Paper story in which she went undercover as an Uber driver for a month to report on how much the ride-hailing app service paid its drivers.
She also made headlines after suffering a broken leg in a 2011 flash mob attack at Broad and Spring Garden Streets.

La bêtise religieuse (Religious Stupidity), Loïc Tassé, Journal de Montréal, 2018-11-25.
The attempt by John Allen Chau to convert the Sentinelese tribe was particularly stupid, illustrating once again the unhealthy role which religion plays in our societies.
[…] in his case, religious belief was obviously a consequence of indoctrination. Indoctrination similar to that of radical Islamists who seek to convert the world using violence. Indoctrination like that of Hindu nationalists who refuse women entry into certain temples and who are prepared to kill to defend their beliefs.
What is extraordinary here is that practically no-one has discussed Chau's indoctrination. Readers' reactions have often been virulent. Many people condemn Chau. But who condemns those who put such ridiculous ideas of conversion and belief into his head? No-one dares to do so.
All this religious stupidity is unfortunately increasingly present in politics. Many people push the idea of freedom of conscience so far as to defend religious groups which indoctrinate their members with the most enslaving and deadly beliefs. This is unacceptable. That is the lesson which we must learn from the pathetic death of Chau.
It is rare for the mass media to publish a text so lucid, so frank, so forthright, which denounces religious lunacy and all the harm it does. Bravo Monsieur Tassé !

3 Ways to Read Network Data in D3.js Library

By Tamer Khraisha

An important library in Javascript is the D3.js library (where D3 stands for Data-Driven Documents).
To read about this library you can visit the official website. Among the
most common visualizations in D3 are networks. Networks are a collection of nodes and links between them.
In this article, you can find three ways of reading network data in a D3 code. Even if you have already
picked your favorite way of doing it, it helps to know some alternatives in order to read other
people's code. The examples provided below are taken from the bl.ocks.org website.

1 - Including the data Within the html file

The first way of reading data in a D3 code is by creating a Javascript array inside the script that
should be included in the body of the HTML page that contains the information about the nodes and links
and any possible attribute. This option results convenient if we have a small number of links.

 <body>
 ..
 ..
 <script> # this is the D3 script for our visualization.

 var links = [
   {source: "Node1", target: "Nod2", Weight:10},
   {source: "Node1", target: "Node3", Weight: 5},
   {source: "Node4", target: "Node2", Weight: 13},
   {source: "Node6", target: "Node4", Weight: 1},

 ];
 .
 .
 .
 ....The remaining D3 code

 </script>

Basic examples with code could be found
here and  here.

2- From a CSV file

The second option is to load data from a CSV file. In my experience, I could find that there are two ways
to create CSV files for a D3 network visualization, the first is to create a unique CSV files that
contains the list of links and their properties and the second is to create one CSV file for nodes and
another CSV for links.

A single CSV would look like this :

 source,target,value
 Harry,Sally,1.2
 Harry,Mario,1.3
 Sarah,Alice,0.2
 Eveie,Alice,0.5
 Peter,Alice,1.6
 Mario,Alice,0.4
 James,Alice,0.6
 Harry,Carol,0.7
 Harry,Nicky,0.8

Basic example with code could be found here . Click here.

Separate csv files of the links and nodes. Example from this source

 nodes.csv

 node,group
 celery,group1
 peanut butter,group2
 hummus,group1
 banana,group1
 honey,group2
 ranch dressing,group2

 links.csv

 source,target,type
 banana,peanut butter,type1
 celery,peanut butter,type1
 celery,ranch dressing,type2
 banana,honey,type2
 hummus,celery,type2

2- Reading data from a JSON file.

JSON files are among the most common formats for storing network data. The basic structure of a JSON file
containing network data is the following :

 GraphJson = {
   	 "nodes": [
	 	 {"id": "0", "name":"Node1", "group":1,"degree":10},
		 {"id": "1", "name":"Node2", "group":1,"degree":20},
		 {"id": "2", "name":"Node3", "group":3,"degree":15},
		 {"id": "3", "name":"Node4", "group":2,"degree":10},
		 {"id": "4", "name":"Node5", "group":2,"degree":5},
		 {"id": "5", "name":"Node6", "group":3,"degree":20},
		 {"id": "6", "name":"Node7", "group":1,"degree":10},
	 ],
	 "links": [
		 {"source": 0, "target": 1, "weight": 6},
		 {"source": 0, "target": 7, "weight": 4},
		 {"source": 1, "target": 2, "weight": 6},
		 {"source": 2, "target": 7, "weight": 4}

	 ]
 }

A good example that uses JSON file to plot data is available here

Canon's EOS 6D is a great introduction into the world of full-frame photography. It's a relatively fast camera that's easy to use and its high ISO performance is stellar. Well worth considering if you're an enthusiast, but you will also need some new lenses.
Taking photos with a full-frame camera is an amazing experience. Shots just look so much wider and more fulfilling thanks to the bigger sensor. It used to be that you had to pay big bucks to get yourself a full-frame camera, but thanks to Canon, you can now get a model like the EOS 6D for about $2400.
The EOS 6D is a 20-megapixel camera that uses Canon's DiG!C 5+ image processor. It can be used comfortably at very high ISO values (the standard range is from 100-25600), and it can also be used for rapid-fire photography. Indeed, with an ability to capture about 4.5 frames per second in burst mode, it's quite fast (we paired it with a Class 10 SD card). You can use this camera for any type of photography and you don't have to be an expert to operate it successfully. We had no problems using it for action shots, and we also obtained some great results during indoor, low-light photography sessions.
The EOS 6D slots in between the EOS 7D and the EOS 5D Mark II in Canon's range of digital SLR cameras for enthusiasts, and it's definitely a camera that's aimed at users who are serious about their hobby. It provides an affordable step up into the world of full-frame photography (the previous entry point being the EOS 5D Mark II for between $4000-$5000), and you'll immediately see the difference between this and a camera with an APS-C-sized sensor that you might be used to (otherwise known as a crop sensor). At about $2400 for the body only, it's only about $600 more than a typical enthusiast-level EOS digital SLR body.
At high ISO levels, the EOS 6D excels. This was taken at ISO 6400.
A 100 per cent crop shows just how much detail is kept at this ISO speed -- you can still make out the dust.
Here's the same shot at ISO 25600. You can clearly see the noise, but it's tolerable.
And you can still see the dust!
To get the most out of the EOS 6D, you need to use lenses that are designed to work with the full-frame sensor. Canon's EF-S lenses, which are designed for crop sensor cameras, won't work on this camera. You will only be able to use the EOS 6D with Canon's EF lenses. These are marked with a red dot that corresponds to the red dot on the body. EF-S lenses are marked with a white square. If you're upgrading from an entry-level EOS digital SLR, or even from one of the enthusiast models, such as the 60D or the 7D, you'll also need to upgrade your lens collection. Conversely, an EF lens will work on a body with a crop sensor (those cameras have both a red dot and a white square indicating their compatibility). We used the Canon EF 24-105mm 1:4 L IS USM lens for our tests.
Here it is with the 24-105mm lens installed. You can also see the inputs for an external microphone and remote.
The 6D will only accept EF lenses. EF-S lenses are not compatible.
Physically, the EOS 6D looks just like a regular, mid-range digital SLR camera from Canon, meaning that it's relatively compact and not very heavy. What helps keep the size small is a minimal control layout, a fixed screen (rather than a hinged screen such as the one on the EOS 60D, for example), and the lack of a built-in, pop-up flash. There is an adequate handgrip that makes the camera very comfortable to hold, and it gives you quick access to the dials that can be used for changing settings on-the-fly. The shutter button is very soft, yet with a distinctive two-step feel so that you can delicately focus before taking a shot. Our only gripe is that a full click doesn't feel like a click, but more of a mash due to its softness.
If you're used to Canon digital SLR cameras already, the layout of the controls won't be anything new to you. You can easily adjust focus settings, drive, ISO, and metering by pressing the shortcut buttons above the settings screen at the top of the body; meanwhile, there is a Quick (Q) menu button on the rear, which sits between the LCD screen and the five-way thumb control. You can use the Q menu to change settings quickly and we think it's an intuitive way of doing things.
The layout remains the same as usual, and we think it's very user friendly.
Just because it's a full-frame camera that's aimed at enthusiasts, it doesn't mean that scene modes and auto settings are shunned. In fact, the 6D has these on its dial, in addition to a Creative Auto mode that allows you to take pictures based on characteristics — you can choose to blur or sharpen a background, make an image lighter or give it richer colours, for example. Of course, the camera also shoots in RAW mode, so if you know what you're doing you can process your images to your heart's content.
Full HD video can be recorded at the flick of a switch and you use the same button to initiate recordings that you use to enable Live View mode. Shooting video outdoors on a bright day can be a chore if you can't see the subject properly due to the sunlight, and shooting at angles is restricted due to the fixed screen. However, it is a good video recording device and you can get excellent results out of it depending on the settings you use.
It can take a while to get used to shooting with a full frame camera like this one if you are coming from a crop sensor background. You might be surprised with the amount of extra light and area that the camera can capture, but it sure is a camera that's fun to use. If you've been shooting with a crop sensor digital SLR and want to take the next step up, we think an EOS 6D kit would be perfect.
A few JPEGs taken straight from the camera are below. You can see more in our image gallery.
