Jodie Turner-Smith joins 'The Witcher: Blood Origin' Cast
Meet Éile.
Netflix has announced Jodie Turner-Smith as a new addition to the cast of The Witcher: Blood Origin. The actress will be looking to ace the portrayal of a certain Éile in the looming six-part, live-action limited series.
In the prequel to the Netflix popular show The Witcher, Turner-Smith's Éile is an elite warrior blessed with the voice of a goddess.
She has left her clan and position as Queen's guardian to follow her heart as a nomadic musician. A grand reckoning on the continent forces her to return to the way of the blade in her quest for vengeance and redemption.
Set in an elven world 1200 years before the world of The Witcher, Blood Origin will tell a story lost to time – the creation of the first prototype Witcher, and the events that lead to the pivotal "conjunction of the spheres," when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one.

Welcome to Wakanda!
Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are in for a treat. Disney+ has announced that 1 February marks the arrival of Marvel Studios' "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." The blockbuster will be joining 16 other on the streaming platform.
ABOUT THE MOVIE
Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M'Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba) fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T'Challa's death.
As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. Introducing Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor, ruler of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena and Alex Livinalli.
"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," directed by Ryan Coogler and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore, is now playing in theaters.
Tensions have reportedly escalated.
They are one of South Africa's most revered music duos.
Their discography packs both blockbuster club bangers and lush delights for lovers of House with a transcendental African sonic flair. And the explosive fallout of Black Motion, which has been splashed across the internet long before reaching the courts, has shocked many.
Loved for their electrifying live performances and awe-inspiring chemistry, Mörda and Smol have always seemed like musical soulmates. But that relationship seems to have reached a bitter end.
In 2022, rumours of their reported split triggered a frenzy on the internet. Following the uproar, the group's members Bongani Mohosana, who now goes as Mörda, and Smol (real name Roy Thabo Mabogwane), jointly calmed fears that they had fallen out.
It had been said the break would be temporary, as Mörda moved to focus on the release of his solo studio album.
Far from it, it now seems. The parties have escalated things to court.
According to reports, Black Motions have confirmed that they had pressed charges against Mörda for alleged housebreaking and theft.
A court order by the High Court in Gauteng posted on social media has ordered Morda to "restore possession of a recording studio apparatus" to the group by 13 January, at 5pm.
Black Motion shared snaps of the alleged damage caused by Morda – a broken door and stolen equipment.
Tick – Tock

It looks like we won't be getting a new Black Motion album with Mörda anytime soon.

Political engagement modes offered at ERLC conf.
Home » News » Political engagement modes ...
By Tom Strode
NASHVILLE (BP) — What model of political engagement should evangelical Christians adopt in current American culture?
Speakers addressed that question with various suggestions during "The Gospel and Politics," a national conference sponsored by the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission Aug. 5 in Nashville.
It is a new day for evangelicals and other religious conservatives in the United States, conference presenters said before more than 600 attendees at the Music City Center.
The "illusion of a Christian majority is now gone," said ERLC President Russell Moore.
It is fair to say conservative Christians "have lost the debate basically" about sexuality, said Ross Douthat, columnist for The New York Times. Religious conservatives "have become a sort of cultural or sociological minority whose view of sex is regarded at best as antique and at worst as potentially noxious," he said.
While many speakers at the one-day event recommended approaches for evangelical political engagement, some panelists offered models with titles.
The Benedict Option has received attention in the last 18 months or so. Rod Dreher, a writer/editor with The American Conservative, proposed the model, naming it after a sixth-century monk who left Rome to pray and serve God. He started monasteries and wrote rules for living in community in culturally difficult times.
While the Benedict Option may be described as a strategic retreat to strengthen Christian communities and institutions, Dreher denied that it is "a call to head for the hills." Christians can learn from the discipline and community of monks, he said.
"Even as we stay engaged in the public square," Dreher told the audience, "… we have got to retreat somewhat, reclaim our own story as Christians, thicken our practices and build institutions that can be resilient in this post-Christian and, in fact, anti-Christian culture that is emerging."
The Wilberforce Option also was proposed. Michael Gerson, columnist for The Washington Post and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, suggested the model named for William Wilberforce, the evangelical reformer who led the successful effort to halt the slave trade as a member of the British Parliament nearly 200 years ago.
Elements in evangelicalism "are oriented toward retreat" and are suggesting a "sabbatical from politics," Gerson acknowledged. "My blunt reaction to that is only a comfortable Christian could make that claim."
For an African parent with a child dying of malaria or an American inner-city parent with children in failing schools, "politics is not an option," Gerson said. Such individuals feel compelled to pursue help through political means, and Christians should similarly feel "a relentless demand for justice" that drives them to take political action on behalf of the weak and vulnerable.
"I respect the Benedict Option, but I'm very much for the Wilberforce Option, which is for Christians to be on the cutting edge, the first responders when human dignity is at stake," Gerson said.
The More Option was a third recommendation. Karen Swallow Prior, author and English professor at Liberty University, offered the model named after Hannah More, a contemporary and ally of Wilberforce who worked not only for the abolition of slavery but for other social reforms.
Prior, whose biography of More was published last year, cited on a panel four principles that characterized the approach of More and her colleagues:
— Christian commitment. In all that they did to bring social reform, "they were deeply rooted in their Christian faith," Prior said.
— Moral imagination. "They didn't rely just on the political process," she said, adding they used art and literature. More wrote poetry, plays and a novel to change people's thinking, Prior said.
— Extensive cultural engagement.
— Collaboration with conviction. "They were not afraid to work with people whose faith, whose commitments, whose principles were different from theirs on common cause," Prior said. "They built those alliances to get the job done."
Evangelicals "can't retreat behind high walls," said Erick Erickson, editor of RedState.com. "We have to engage, but we can engage differently than we have in the past."
Too often, the faith motivating political engagement has been "American Christianity, not Jesus Christianity," Erickson said.
"The last I checked in the Gospels, I don't remember Jesus waving an American flag," Erickson said.

This is How We Should Experience Dolphins and Whales (VIDEO)
By Kristina Pepelko
By seeing marine animals live out their lives, we can develop a deeper understanding of them, inspiring continued support for conservation initiatives, and even nurturing a new generation of animals lovers.
Unfortunately, there are a number of unnatural ways to view marine animals including swimming with dolphins, yoga with belugas programs, and whale shows a la SeaWorld.
In these facilities, some natural behaviors might be present but mostly they are stifled. For example, dolphins typically swim up to 40 to 50 miles per day while orca whales can swim for up to 100 miles in a 24 hour period. However, in captivity, this type of exercise and stimulation is not possible. Instead, many of these highly intelligent creatures are confined to concrete boxes for the rest of their lives.
Captivity is not the way to experience marine animals. And unless you encounter a dolphin or whale while you're on a boat or looking out at sea, it's unlikely that you'll see them in their natural habitat, living their lives as their meant to.
So instead of buying a ticket for a whale show or dolphin program, opt instead to go on a whale watching adventure, where you'll see these animals being their wild, beautiful selves. Check out the video by VerBallenas below for a taste of this eye-opening experience.

And then there were two: SimplyHired to cease operations
Having been in the human capital management industry for over 15 years, I've gotten used to news about companies coming and going. But this week's news about SimplyHired is different. We founded LinkUp as, what was at the time, just the third paid search recruitment advertising company in the space and as such, we looked up to Indeed and SimplyHired as siblings of sorts. A huge proponent of analogies, I'll admit the familial one in this case isn't perfect, but it isn't totally off the mark either. And though I try as much as possible to refrain from sports analogies, that would fit here as well, particularly because business is, for the most part, an inherently competitive endeavor. And because sibling rivalry contains an element of disfunction while rivalry in sports and business is a fundamental aspect of the activity, I suppose the sports analogy is more appropriate here.
So akin to the Original Six, I'll posit that Indeed, SimplyHired, and LinkUp are the Original Three. For certain, it's a more crowded league these days, but that only means that the three founding franchises had the vision and foresight to start playing in open, uncharted territory; territory that held, and still holds, enormous opportunity. And yes, I am fully aware that in spinning this analogy thus, I get to elevate LinkUp to some lofty status as a founding father of sorts. An overreach perhaps. And undoubtedly a bit grandiose, but so be it. Facts are facts. First there were three, then there were many, and now of the Original Three, there are only two.
I will also admit that there is a bit of schadenfreude in writing this. A decent amount, actually, if truth be told. To say otherwise would be disingenuous. After all, business is business, and by its very nature, business is competitive. It's not necessarily a zero sum game, but there are winners and losers; one often at the expense of the other. So a slight degree of satisfaction felt from seeing a competitor leave the field should be forgiven. But the occasion is also a bit sobering. As the saying goes, "There but for the grace of God go I." I'm not much one for religion, but the sentiment is apt. And while I'm certain it wasn't due to the grace of God, or the lack thereof, I can't speak to what, precisely, led to SimplyHired's downfall. That is neither appropriate nor the point.
So what, then, is the point? I suppose, in some way, the point is to pay respect, sort of like the great tradition in the NHL when two teams line up after a hard-fought series to shake hands. And like professional sports, business is a deadly serious game. Business is tough and building a business is even tougher. Brutally tough, in fact. I'd even go so far as to say that it is one of the greatest challenges imaginable – to build a successful company. To create something from nothing. To build value. To differentiate. To Innovate. To inspire. As anyone who has attempted them can attest, these are exceedingly difficult pursuits.
And while these pursuits are hard enough in a vacuum, they are exponentially more difficult when you add players onto the field who are all trying to do the same thing, oftentimes at your expense. It's the competition that adds such a fascinating, compelling, and challenging dynamic to the contest. So when a formidable opponent leaves the field, particularly a long-time foe and one of the Original Three, so to speak, it's worth pausing to pay respect, to shake hands, as it were, and say, with the utmost respect and sincerity, "Nice game."

Boxing For Kids: Should They Do It?
The ring could be a scary place for the common eye, yet the world of boxing holds such potential, which could be harnessed for producing champions at the Olympics and the educational premises.
Boxing, a respectable martial art with a long history, has refined itself today to be a modest sport. Yet, it suffers in the face of misconceptions.
Far from the associated aggressive and barbaric tendencies, boxing holds in it the potential to be a significant contributor to the physical education program of schools.
With there being a greater demand for an extensive and intensive physical education program in school, boxing stands at the forefront of the child's holistic development.
The art of pugilism or fistfight has various manifestations.
From the common scene of fistfights during the recess breaks between young adolescents to an aggressive breakdown between people fist fighting in public or otherwise, the actual act of fist fight has also formed the basis of a highly reputed yet controversial sport of boxing.
The spectrum of opinions goes as far as considering it to instill a sense of courage and self-defense on one end to one, where it is seen as a barbaric and brutal sport.
1 From the knuckle bouts to the Gloves: The journey of boxing
2 Knocking out the inhibitions: Boxing for holistic development
3 Boxing And Personal Development
4 Boxing And Education
5 The first punch towards effective development of the child
6 Addressing the hiccup
7 The goal of educational boxing
8 Acknowledging the humble glove: Boxing for the right mind and right body
From the knuckle bouts to the Gloves: The journey of boxing
The Olympic sport traces its history back to the first evidence of cave paintings displaying a fistfight among the Sumerians.
It then made its way to the Roman and Greek circles, eventually marking an Olympics entry.
Boxing thus developed from being a raw sport, making use of the knuckle bouts, to a more refined modern sport, carefully shaped under the Marquess of Queensberry rules.
This helped boxing take its leap from mere violent entertainment to one that exhibits a combination of fair play techniques and athleticism.
It also marks a departure from rudimentary gears like the knuckle bouts to a more modernized protective gear, like the boxing gloves and the headgears.
Boxing today firmly stands as a modest sport displaying both a sense of sportsmanship and fair play.
It is celebrated as one of the most challenging yet refined forms of martial arts, producing great champions in Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, and Mike Tyson.
The sport is known to captivate its audience for its skillful display of such tactics and ferocity that it may leave one in awe.
Knocking out the inhibitions: Boxing for holistic development
Going beyond the misconception where boxing is seen synonymous with an amateur fight producing blue, swollen eyes, and distorted faces, boxing rather exhibits a wide array of benefits.
It is a challenging sport that demands complete focus and concentration to respond aptly to each move.
It is closely associated with chess, for it requires one to plan four moves and display one's ability to outshine in the face of consistent testing.
It is a full-body conditioning sport that contributes to a defined body with enhanced muscular power and cardiovascular fitness.
More than just rudimentary fighting, boxing is a highly technical sport that demands full-body awareness. It is aptly called the sweet science that exhibits a unique choreography.
One needs to achieve both a sense of balance and dynamic flexibility to sync the actions and moves towards an effective attack on the opponent.
Beyond the plain delivery of punches, what it also teaches is the ability to defend oneself and not become an easy target.
Thus, it instills a sense of self-defense that is an important lesson to acquire both inside and outside the ring.
Boxing And Personal Development
It also serves to condition the mind to be strong and razor-sharp. It trains to enhance motor coordination, thus contributing to an intense synapse activation and alertness.
It helps to develop a sense of awareness of one's body, gauge the environment and the opponent.
It instills a sense of accountability and understanding of one's actions and decisions, thus enabling one to place themselves at the center, unlocking a greater potential.
Therefore, going beyond what one sees within the ring, boxing as a martial art helps develop moral strength and a sense of spiritual fulfillment. Thus, it has both fitness and recreational quotient.
Boxing today appeals to a larger sect as it can be pursued by people across the spectrum of age, gender, and shape.
Boxing And Education
Boxing's recognition in the education curriculum traces with its introduction in intramural athletics.
Today, many high schools and colleges worldwide pay recognition to boxing in the college gymnasiums, thus uplifting its skill factor and, according to it, the desired respect.
The educational potential of boxing sees it contributing towards the organic development of the child. It caters to the physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual development of youngsters.
Physical educators believe that boxing can usher in a great sense of discipline among students. It places the kids in a specified regime and pushes them to maintain the same.
The cognitive faculties are sharpened as boxing instills the kids with a problem-solving approach, greater awareness, and focus, all of which support them both within the ring and outside.
It provides a stimulating environment for the young in the otherwise monotonous world, with digital spaces taking up most of the time.
It thus marks a break from the emerging sedentary lifestyle and toxic digital content feeding the children. Boxing will enable one to develop a head and a heart and stay connected to reality.
With a greater investment of oneself in the physical world, the mind is expected to become more active and appreciative of the realities of existence.
It could be an effective outlet for the damaged generation feeding on such digital content and junk that render them with twisted attitudes and a gloomy sense of self-perception.
It is also pitched as a helpful tool for anger management and other behavioral issues like bullying, absenteeism, and aggression among the youth and adolescents.
With the popularity of violent video games growing among the youth, one sees a recent spike in aggressive tendencies that are both harmful to the individual and the social fabric.
Furthermore, most in their early teens become victims of what is known as the 'Internet Gaming Disorder.' To combat such impairment in one's self-perception and mental health, boxing can be an effective mode of channelizing the energy to build something compelling.
Like most extracurricular activities, it has a self-perception therapeutic potential by becoming an outlet for such internal turmoil and suppressed emotions.
On the virtues front, it teaches courage and self-respect. Well, winning or losing does not become a matter of ego.
Instead, it becomes a matter of experience and growth. One gains newfound confidence and a sense of resilience to withstand harsh circumstances.
Boxing teaches one to develop a fight plan as one progresses through the various rounds, making requisite modifications and adapting to the fight.
Such thinking ability contributes to an enhanced understanding of situations around oneself. It helps one familiarise oneself on how to bounce back from adversity.
Boxing does not intend to produce a generation of thugs, but rather warriors who can combat adversity with the right display of tactics.
It has the potential to turn around a lazy generation munching and snoozing away most of the time in the fictions of the World Wide Web towards a more disciplined life induced with a greater sense of humility.
The first punch towards effective development of the child
The potential of boxing can be particularly harnessed in developing effective pedagogy for children.
The aim should be different from what competitive boxing meant for entertainment would achieve.
Educational boxing would enable children to pick up a skill in their early development years and sustain it for a longer time. With a greater exploration to make the education curriculum wide and intensive, martial arts lessons could be harnessed for more holistic and effective development.
The basic training of boxing- 'the fanatic subordination of the self' as called by Joyce Carol Oates can be a great addition to the PE training.
As put by Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Joshua, boxing in schools need not be pursued in the form of full-contact boxing. Instead, the focus needs to be on pad work, skipping, drills, bag works- all effective for encouraging sound behavior.
Boxing can be a tricky sport at the face of it, for its close resemblance to a typical fight.
However, acknowledgment and awareness of the sport's technicality, along with the usage of certified trainers, protective gear, and a controlled environment, would enable one to reap the benefits of boxing.
A detailed analysis of the body type of students, maintaining a record of past injuries, a proper grouping of batches would also serve effectively to help students train better.
The introduction of martial arts in a controlled set up is a good step towards developing a robust physical education curriculum.
Whether boxing would turn the youngsters into violent beasts and bad lads or whether it will enable them to be more aware of when and where to display aggression depends on how the institutions choose to carve the training process.
A constant reiteration of the essence of the sport with examples of boxing like Ali will enable more to draw the right inspiration.
Addressing the hiccup
In many nations, including India, boxing does not command a significant fan following. The primary concern with boxing is the perceived aggression and brutality associated with the sport.
The common perception holds it to be a sordid sport that glorifies violence and puts at risk its consequent socio-psychological impact on children.
Many students and their guardians also don't prefer pursuing the same because of either a lack of interest or lack of facilities.
There is also a concern regarding the misuse of the techniques and increasing social tension.
Boxing also leads to livid and sometimes irreversible injuries, particularly to the head and eye regions. Many health groups recommend against youth boxing.
While it is true that boxers are susceptible to injuries, injuries by themselves stand as a common element in the world of sports. Improving the gear and protection is the vital way forward to address the same.
Preventive mechanisms in the form of effective management and safe practice and play should be encouraged. Furthermore, professional boxing stands different from amateur boxing.
While the former does make the participants prone to injuries to great extents, the latter focuses more on building and earning points on techniques like footwork, punches, and blows.
The goal of educational boxing
While the reservations associated with pursuing boxing could be understandable, digging deeper would inform that safety is one of the foremost priorities of the trainers.
Moreover, a major emphasis is on adequate training, mastering the techniques, and not just resorting to mindless punching for entertainment. It is carefully controlled to make it more skill-oriented for the child.
Acknowledging the humble glove: Boxing for the right mind and right body
Boxing roars loud. It exhibits power, and it demands the grind.
Far from the commonplace notion that boxing stands for aggression, what it induces is a sense of composure that teaches one to use aggression at the right time and right place, specifically within the ring.
What is pivotal to this sport is the proper training and a gradual progression. The young should be accustomed to the virtues of the martial art before gloving up.
The Modus operandi should contain a well designed and wholesome set of instructions & training by the trainers. It would enable us to beat the perception of boxing being a sordid sport.
Further, there is a greater need for youth champions to set examples and run 'The Right Information' campaigns to spread awareness about the sport and beat the misconceptions.
With the emergence of young boxers (Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez, Vergil Ortiz Jr, Daniel Dubois) to the surface, the sport is on its way to shedding off its inhibitions and being perceived as a good choice for kids.
The framework of laws and regulations should also support the sport and realize its full potential.
Educational policies and legislation should reflect the changing demands and induce greater conversation on the need for martial arts to shape the young generation and an effective choice in the physical education curriculum.

Resources extraction fuels rights violations and racial subordination – UN expert
GENEVA (8 July 2019) – Industry's extraction of natural resources routinely inflicts acute human rights violations on racial and ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples and other marginalised groups, said the UN's human rights expert on racism.
In her report to the Human Rights Council on racial inequality and discrimination concerns arising from global extractivism, Special Rapporteur E. Tendayi Achiume says "powerful States – including those that have yet fully to reckon with their colonial extractivism legacies – must commit to undoing the structures of subordination and inequality that persist" in the extractive economy. This economy includes mineral and fossil fuel extraction, and monocultural large-scale agricultural, forestry and fishery operations.
The UN expert connects the contemporary extractive economy to the racially discriminatory history of colonial extractivism.
"Powerful States and their transnational corporations, and the political elites of weaker States that are territories of extraction, emerge as the clear winners… the scale of corporate benefit from the extractivism economy is staggering. At the same time, those peoples who in the past were colonised on the grounds of false claims of their racial inferiority, today continue to bear the greatest cost of the extractivism economy."
The report says many populations ‑ including much of the global South, racial and ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples, and other marginalised groups ‑ continue to be denied an equitable share in natural resource extraction's development and economic benefits. These groups are also subject to gross human rights violations, including violations of the right to life; rights to racial equality and to be free from discrimination; to health and a healthy environment; to water; to free speech and assembly; to participate in political processes; and to just and favorable working conditions.
The report also highlights the particular human rights abuse suffered by women, who confront unique threats, especially where these women are also members of ethnic, racial or indigenous minorities.
Achiume noted existing reforms and continuing international progress in implementing due diligence, transparency and human rights requirements but stressed that "the status quo does not yet place a meaningful check on the global reach of transnational extractive companies".
Her report urges States to centre substantive analysis of rights to racial equality, gender equality, and non-discrimination in their reform, regulation, and evaluation of the extractivism economy.
"All participants in the extractivism economy should reject a colour-blind or gender-blind approach that ignores the persisting structural and individualised racial discrimination in the operation of such an economy. States, corporations, multilateral organizations and human rights actors must all take seriously the substantive approach to racial equality articulated in the present report and work to diminish the impact that race, ethnicity, national origin and gender have on the human rights situation of many within the extractivism economy."
Ms E. Tendayi Achiume (Zambia) was appointed by the Human Rights Council as Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in September 2017. Ms. Achiume is currently a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Law, and a research associate of the African Center for Migration and Society (ACMS) at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa.
The Special Rapporteurs are part of what is known as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. Special Procedures, the largest body of independent experts in the UN Human Rights system, is the general name of the Council's independent fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms that address either specific country situations or thematic issues in all parts of the world. Special Procedures experts work on a voluntary basis; they are not UN staff and do not receive a salary for their work. They are independent from any government or organization and serve in their individual capacity.

The supreme court in the United Arab Emirates on Monday jailed an Omani man for three years for "mocking the Gulf state's martyrs" using a mobile phone app, local media reported.
Saleh Mohammed Saleh al-Owaissi, 29, was convicted of mocking and harming the reputation of the state by distributing an audio recording on Whatsapp messenger in which he accused the state and its martyrs in Yemen of "cowardice and treachery," Al-Ittihad newspaper reported on its website.
Owaissi was also fined $14,000.
Meanwhile, Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, offered his condolences on the death of Emirati serviceman Mohammed Rashid Al Dhanhani, who died in Yemen.
Last week, serviceman Abdullah Juma al-Shamsi was killed in Yemen. Shamsi was part of the Emirati ground troop contingent in Yemen, and was engaged to be married two months before he was deployed to the country.
The latest casualties bring the death toll of Emirati soldiers fighting in Yemen to 75 since the operation commenced in March last year.
Dozens of killed soldiers were brought home to the UAE last year, with leaders praising their commitment and nobility.


Jovontaes's most recent release, Paranoia Makes a Crazy Gift, is yet another strong release from one of Lexington's best lo-fi psychedelic rock bands. It starts with a rising lone tone, and then jumps into the spacey riffing and rattling of "Can't Surf," where it stays for a good four minutes, before continuing on its way. Track two, "Molasses," is aptly titled – it flows around slowly, finding the band grooving along to a central tonality but ambling along to the whim of a largely improvisatory feel from the band members. This isn't to say that the music is sloppy or that it doesn't develop – the three play together to know when to add to the sound and when to take away, and the music here definitely has that sound. All this said, the music found on this EP is great, but it's best heard live. You might be thinking "But this sounds pretty live to me…" And it probably was recorded that way, but Jovontaes are one of those bands that sound exponentially better when you're in the room with them, plus it's a ton of fun to watch them all interact with one another. It's lucky too – the guys are playing the first leg of their tour tonight in Kansas City – but you should be able to catch them when they get back. As the album closes with "The Bend Before the End," the guys have hit their stride and finish with a mess of noise and a final electronic whistle, and this Lexington band that many find difficult to pin down are done for now, but they're always working on something new.

Adult Education, Continuous Learning
Bridging the Chasm Between Research and Practice: A Guide to Major Educational Research
Royal Horn (Author)
Bridging the Chasm Between Research and Practice: A Guide to Major Educational Research is written for anyone concerned about the education of the 48 million children in elementary and secondary schools in the United States. Obviously, a large number of parents, teachers, legislators, school board members, and taxpayers have a keen interest in these children's education since it costs $8,000 per year to educate a single child in the U.S. Unfortunately, there is a chasm between the educational researchers who do the science and the general public. The chasm exists because educational researchers publish their findings in low circulation, stuffy, academic journals that are rarely read by anyone outside the research community. Bridging the Chasm Between Research and Practice is a bridge across the research-practice chasm. It is the first serious effort to thoroughly explain education science to the layperson in an understandable and conversational manner. The accumulated body of knowledge on the following critical topics is simply and thoughtfully explained: grade retention, dropouts, radical differences in children rearing practices, remedial programs that work, class size, school size, high stakes testing, and graduation tests. The vast implications of this research are also discussed.

YEDI Concludes First International Start-Up Program in Armenia
Since its inception, YEDI has been committed to the goal of educating and supporting start-ups both at home in Canada and around the world. There is an ever-growing entrepreneurial presence in developed and developing countries globally, and YEDI is always looking for new opportunities to bring its renowned International Start-Up Program to new nations. Most recently, YEDI ran its program in Yerevan, Armenia.
In recent years, Armenia has been experiencing positive and impactful changes that are greatly supporting the country's goals for the near future. YEDI believes that it can assist Armenia in improving their exports, attract investments, and help Armenian ventures to reach global markets. This is what drew YEDI to bring the International Start-Up Program to Yerevan in partnership with the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics. This January, Plekhanov University opened a new department in their Moscow Headquarters (Global Finance and Small Business Development by York Entrepreneurship Development Institute [Canada]) for YEDI to deliver its programming within the university. This gives YEDI the ability to utilize any of the 22 branches of Plekhanov University to run similar educational programs.
The news of YEDI's commitment to supporting Armenia's economic goals caught the attention of many officials in the Armenian government, important educational figures and media personnel. The program's concluding venture fair was attended by a representative of Armenia's President Armen Sarkissian, Armenia's Minister of Economy Tigran Khachatryan, several members of the Armenian Parliament, a representative from the Russian Consulate in Armenia, a Trade Commissioner from Russia, the Director of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics (Yerevan Branch) Tamara Vardanyan, as well as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Plekhanov Russian University of Economics (Yerevan Branch) Arman Vardanyan.
During his welcome speech, Minister Khachatryan expressed his full support of YEDI's programs and has committed to providing YEDI land to build an acceleration campus in Yerevan.
"I want to thank the organizers of this program in Armenia and from my end, I am ready to support and assist further cooperation of this partnership." – Minister Khachatryan.
YEDI believes that academia has no borders and will continue to support and partner with developing economies globally by running educational seminars and programs in countries around the world.

YEDI VC Fund Receives Designation Under Canada's Start-Up VISA Program
The YEDI VC Fund is now an officially designated Venture Capital fund by the Government of Canada under its Start Up Visa Immigration Program. YEDI has been a designated Incubator since 2017 and has supported an array of international entrepreneurs thus far. This important milestone will enable YEDI to support growth-oriented international ventures who look to Canada as a new home for both themselves and their organizations. YEDI now has a newfound ability to assist international entrepreneurs.
Securing funding is a critical step on the path to success for most start-ups. Often, investors are looking to invest in companies who have achieved certain milestones – a potential challenge for many early stage ventures and especially for those abroad. This is precisely why the YEDI VC Fund was created. YEDI collaborates with private investors, angel investor groups and VCs to help client ventures obtain the needed investment.
YEDI aims to use this Start-Up Visa VC designation to help innovative start-ups from around the world become established in Canada and realize the full potential of their ventures. Hopeful applicants may apply to YEDI for an opportunity to obtain a Letter of Support and begin their Start-Up Visa application process. As a designated Venture Capital fund, YEDI will support selected candidates through a minimum investment of $200,000 in addition to education, mentorship and network support.
As of January, 2019, YEDI became a member of the Canadian Venture Capital Association as a general partner – an opportunity that provides YEDI with access to additional capital and funding resources.

YEDI Speaker Series: Legal Panel 2019
On Thursday July 11th, 2019, YEDI hosted a Speaker Series: Legal Panel featuring two guests – Saba Samanian and Allan Oziel. As the Toronto Ambassador for Women of Wearables, Saba presented about a very timely and compelling topic – privacy in wearable technology. With wearables becoming increasingly popular, she is passionate about helping individuals understand the legal backend of the technologies, including personal rights in privacy protection. Allan, Trade-Mark Agent at Oziel Law, introduced the attendees to a very critical topic for tech-startups – software licensing. The audience learned about the key aspects of a proper licensing agreement, as well as the different options they have when deciding on a licensing structure. The event was attended by both YEDI alumni and community members eager to learn more about law in business and to meet like-minded entrepreneurs in the YEDI community.

YEDI President Marat Ressin Attends Web Summit Conference in Lisbon, Portugal
In November, YEDI President Dr. Marat Ressin attended Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal. Forbes has described Web Summit as "the best technology conference on the planet", where founders and CEOs of tech-based start-ups share their success stories and answer the question: where to next?
Dr. Ressin represented YEDI and was amazed to discover that Canadian start-ups are extremely comparable to those from well-known, tech-innovative countries around the world. As described in an interview with York Link, Dr. Ressin says that Canada is a great gateway to North America, which is part of the reason why Canadian representation in international conferences such as Web Summit, is so important.
One of YEDI's current goals is to become more present in the Western European market. See the interview with York Link to learn more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-h_3VLUQ5g.
YEDI is looking forward to attending Collision, Web Summit's 'sister conference', in May at the Enercare Centre in Toronto!

YEDI Concludes a Successful Entrepreneurship Program in Israel
In August 2018, YEDI completed its third entrepreneurship development program for Israeli entrepreneurs. This year 15 innovative ventures were selected to complete a 2-week intensive program. The cohort also included entrepreneurs from the United States who travelled to Israel in order to join the cohort.
The cohort included unique ideas in the health-tech, mobile and educational sectors among others. Upon their successful completion of the program, participants pitched their ventures to a funder audience, including investors, potential partners, municipal representatives, and representatives of the Israeli Innovation Authority.
YEDI's unique entrepreneurship program in Israel offers mentorship, education, connections, and academic credits. The program aims to help local entrepreneurs develop a global business without leaving their country.
We once again congratulate all the participants for their hard work! The YEDI team is looking forward to seeing their future growth and success, both in Israel and around the world!
YEDI Concludes Extremely Successful Global Start-Up Mission to Israel
In March, YEDI concluded the first ever Canadian Global Start-Up Mission led by a university-linked business accelerator, and the results have exceeded the best expectations. Among many other successes, new agreements valued at $7.35 million were signed between YEDI, Canadian mission participants and Israeli ventures and organizations.
Many start-ups are looking to access global markets very early, and for several, their first entry market will not be Canada. Accessing emerging markets can be challenging due to significant differences in culture, business environment and in often language barriers. These "born global" start-ups need help overcoming these common differences to doing business abroad, as well as accessing business networks.
In partnership with Canadian and Israeli institutions, 10 Canadian ventures spent a full month experiencing and learning from Israel's unique start-up ecosystem. Selected entrepreneurs participated in an intensive global entrepreneurship development program led by business leaders and start-up founders. Throughout the program, entrepreneurs visited global companies and unique start-ups, and met with top leaders of Israel's start-up ecosystem and government officials responsible for the growth and development of SMEs.
$7,350,000 in overall agreements and MOUs signed by YEDI and mission participants
$580,000 total investment secured as a result of the mission, with $50,000 distributed during the mission
Met with Government Ministers and Chairs of Parliamentary Committees responsible for growth and innovation in Israel
YEDI authorized to issue letters of support for Israel's Innovation Authority granting opportunities to Canadian-Israeli projects
Ariel University in collaboration with YEDI was invited by Israeli government to submit a funding application for up to $20 million Shekels in order to build a YEDI Business Acceleration Campus and international entrepreneurship development program in Israel.
Visited institutions and support services including: Israeli Knesset, Israel's Innovation Authority, Technion University, Ariel University, Volcany Center, Barkan Manufacturing Zone, and Haifa Port Authority.
Visited successful global start-ups: Fiverr, Foresight, Allot, StoreDot, Our Crowd and many more.
"The trip was an invaluable and eye-opening experience. It provided us with knowledge, connections and platforms from which to build international collaborative projects and business partnership opportunities that will strengthen our venture and its growth in Canada and internationally." Natalya, Founder of Cleanopy

Q: C#, can't serialize to binary I follow this tutorial online exactly but somehow it's giving me errors.  Saying there is no object map or something.
I have the following static object that I want to serialize:
[Serializable]
public class Settings : ISerializable
{
    public static string server= "http://localhost/";
    public static string username = "myname";
    public static bool savePassword = true;
    public static bool autoSync = true;
    public static string password = "mypass";
    public static string folderPath1= "c:/";
    public static string folderPath2= "c:/";
    public static string autoSyncDuration = "300";
    public static string lastSyncTime = "???";

    public Settings()
    { }

    public void GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
    {
        Type myTypeObj = Type.GetType("Settings");
        foreach (FieldInfo p in myTypeObj.GetFields())
        {
            Object value = p.GetValue(null);
            info.AddValue(p.Name, value, p.GetType());
        }
    }

    public Settings(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
    {
        Type myTypeObj = Type.GetType("Settings");
        FieldInfo p;
        foreach (SerializationEntry e in info)
        {
            p = myTypeObj.GetField(e.Name);
            p.SetValue(null, e.Value);
        }
    }
}

And here is the Read/Write functions:
    private void writeSettings()
    {
        pcb_savingSettings.Visible = true;
        FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(settingFile, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None);
        BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
        bf.Serialize(fileStream, new Settings());

        fileStream.Close();
        pcb_savingSettings.Visible = false;
    }
    private void readSettings()
    {
        if (!File.Exists(settingFile))
        {
            writeSettings();
        }
        FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(settingFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.None);
        BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
        bf.Deserialize(fileStream);
        fileStream.Close();
    }

ACTUAL ERROR MSG:  No map for Object '822476800'.  This occur on this line:
bf.Deserialize(fileStream);

A: I'll preface this answer with this is a bad idea.  Serialization is designed to serialize an object instance and static fields are not part of that instance.
I believe that when you do have a custom serializer, you need to preface the object name with static..  For example, public static member named A would need added as static.A.
Here's a link that should help:  http://forums.codeguru.com/showthread.php?t=411604

A: I figure out what the error is for those in future who might be banging their head wondering what went wrong.  It's actually really simple.  A small typo actually.  Too bad M$ have horrible error message that don't really tell you where the error might have happened:
Simply replace this line:
public void GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
{
    Type myTypeObj = Type.GetType("Settings");
    foreach (FieldInfo p in myTypeObj.GetFields())
    {
        Object value = p.GetValue(null);
        info.AddValue(p.Name, value, p.GetType());
    }
}

With this:
    public void GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
    {
        Type myTypeObj = Type.GetType("Settings");
        foreach (FieldInfo p in myTypeObj.GetFields())
        {
            Object value = p.GetValue(null);
            info.AddValue(p.Name, value, value.GetType());
        }
    }

And that's it!  Everything serialize/de-serialize just fine.  You can't possibly guess where it went wrong with the error msg:  * No map for Object '822476800'*.
Note: In the last line,  p.GetType should be value.GetType

Home Elections Wisconsin's laundry list of voter suppression laws challenged in court
Wisconsin's laundry list of voter suppression laws challenged in court
6/2/15 8:00am by Jon Green 24
A group of voting rights advocates, along with Hillary Clinton's general counsel, Marc Elias, have filed a lawsuit against the state of Wisconsin, claiming that the state's recently-passed electoral reforms are blatantly racist. While Hillary Clinton's campaign is not officially behind the lawsuit, they said in a statement that they "are aware of it and strongly support its goal of ensuring the right to vote is not unduly burdened."
Last month, Elias filed a similar lawsuit in Ohio, challenging similar voting restrictions on identical grounds.
Following Scott Walker's election in 2010, Wisconsin Republicans enacted what amounted to an entire voter suppression platform. The state has passed practically every 21st Century voting restriction we thought Republicans were capable of and then some:
Photo ID requirement for voting
Reducing early voting from 30 days to 12, while eliminating it entirely on evenings and weekends
Require proof of residence when registering to vote
Eliminated the certification of statewide voter registrars, meaning that anyone who registers others to vote can only do so in the county in which they're certified
Increased the residency requirement for voting from 10 days to 28 (excepting presidential elections)
Require that citizens who move within the state less than four weeks prior to an election vote in their old locality
Eliminated faxing and emailing of absentee ballots to anyone other than military or overseas voters
Prohibited municipal clerks from returning absentee ballots to citizens to fix mistakes on their forms
Required an area for poll monitors be set up between three and eight feet from the table where voters sign in
Eliminated straight-ticket voting for all but military or overseas voters, increasing wait times at polling locations
Made it harder to use a student ID as proof of residence when registering to vote
Testimony that was previously used in a district court case that briefly overturned Wisconsin's voter ID law (it would later be reinstated by higher courts) held that roughly 300,000 registered voters in Wisconsin lack photo ID, and that those citizens are disproportionately lower-income racial minorities. Photo ID laws, long lines at polling locations and voter registration restrictions have all been found to significantly reduce voter turnout, and their effects have all been found to correlate with income and race. That's a Voting Rights Act case if there ever was one, election year or no.

Some of these restrictions at issue in the suit, like photo ID and early voting cutbacks, are familiar and have been challenged before with varying degrees of success. Others, like eliminating statewide registrars and prohibiting absentee ballot application corrections, are impressively creative ways to lower voter turnout that haven't been challenged before. Individually, some of these restrictions may be permissible. Taken together, however, the logic is clear: Make sure fewer people register to vote; make sure fewer registered voters have access to ballots; and intimidate those who do show up with long lines and leering poll-watchers in close proximity.
In other words, eliminating straight-ticket voting isn't absurd on it's face, but it's much more objectionable when it only applies to certain subsets of the electorate and is coupled with a slew of other restrictions aimed at that same subset of the electorate.
While it's tempting to frame this court battle as a proxy war between Hillary Clinton and Scott Walker that could serve as a preview for electoral battles to come, I'm uncomfortable with the undertones. Yes, Republicans want to win Wisconsin badly, and are willing to go great lengths to make that happen. Like Pennsylvania, where Republicans have had their fair share of voting rights abuses, they feel that the state is unfairly Democratic, in no small part because the state is so heavily segregated that they are able to overlook black voters in urban areas to simply assume that Republicans should be in the majority. As the lawsuit challenging these voting laws notes, Walker invoked this sentiment in his recall campaign, telling voters that "We don't want Wisconsin to become like Milwaukee." However, while this does mean that if these laws are overturned it will be easier for Democrats to win in Wisconsin (although Hillary Clinton is on track to demolish Walker in the state regardless), that doesn't mean the laws aren't racist and impractical on their own merits.
After all, show me someone who can say with a straight face that requiring absentee voters to forego email and fax in favor of snail mail makes any amount of sense, and I'll show you someone who doesn't know what email and fax are.

um again state IDs are free and you really trying to argue that there is no free time period in all their lives that they can't get a FREE id? Last time i checked some states will actually allow you to put in for one online as well
Sorry your just making it seem like the people opposed to this are either really lazy or just not willing to get something that is free
They're not free is you live in a ghetto, have three part-time jobs ya walk to work and have no car, driver license, transportation to a DMV that is now more than 25 miles from where ya live cus your party shut them down in heavily black neighborhoods?
At the very least, is this not a burden on the poor or a poll tax.
At the very most, are you shitting me?
What does me being white have to do with people getting a free ID? Are IDs only free if your white? I don't think so
"im confused how any of this is restricting honestly"
Obviously, as every argument ya posit applies only to those with those with already free access to the voting booth!
I"m assuming that you are white?
The_Fixer says:
Well, well, I am so pleased that you have taken such an active interest in where I live. I can't tell you how much that interests me – which is very little. As to the rest of your screed, I'll resist the temptation to call you names like "Clueless Dolt" (although I won't defend you in the event someone else does), and stick to facts.
The ACA is a sham pyramid scheme? Do you realize that all insurance operates on the basis of healthy people paying for the not-so-healthy people's care? The reason why "young people didnt sign up in droves" might be because they are now able to be covered under their parent's plans until the age of 26?
Emergency room visits going up can be due to several reasons. The article you cite below (which was tough to read as the Washington Times appears to be little more than an advertising farm) does not give a reason that I could find as to why. Maybe it's because people realize that they can now get health care that they are going about it improperly? There are other possibilities, too.
Now let's talk about racism. That's pretty hard to measure, but we have a few clues. Ranked at #24 by a strictly voluntary Internet poll, it nonetheless has enough of a problem that there was a bill introduced to confront institutionaliuzed racism in the criminal justice system in the state. Wisconsin leads the nation in incarcerating minority men, one measure of racism. Source Link. Another is the fact that Wisconsin imprisons more African-American men than any other state. Source Link. Then there's my own experience of listening to people and seeing people decorating their pickup trucks with that universal symbol of racism – the Confederate Flag.
Now let's talk about alcoholism. Last year, (2014) Wisconsin dropped to #2 in binge drinking from it's former top spot. Source Link. Go to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and look at several reports they have on various types of alcohol consumption. Wisconsin is well above the national average in both 30-day "Current Consumption" and binge drinking, as mentioned earler. Source Link.
Unions. Wisconsin has a long tradition of supporting them. Did you know that Wisconsin was the first in the nation to establish workers' compensation and unemployment insurance? Wisconsin was the birthplace of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Sourece Link. Wisconsin's first unions were formed in Milwaukee, the bricklayers in 1847 and the carpenters 'way back in 1848. Xource Link.
You question Wisconsin's progressive track record, asking "As for the rest of your stick if WI was really so progressive how did Walker dominate every election he had?". I've already pointed out that Wisconsin has long been progressive in its support of labor unions, and that's the point – we are saying that Wisconsin used to be progressive.
As to Scott Walker's supposed domination of the elections in which he was a candidate, his margins of victory were far less than domination. In the election years that he has won, other Republican governors won by a greater margin. Source Link.
A few other odds and ends. The people who suffered most with the enactment of the anti-union Act 10 were teachers. I know teachers – their paychecks can hardly be considered "lush salary packages". I know one who lost $5,000 annually in salary and benefits, and she was not making anywhere near the money that mid-management makes in the private-sector. Yet, she has to deal with ill-mannered kids who are neglected by their parents. Many teachers make up for funding shortfalls in schools by buying supplies for their students out of their own pockets.
Walker has a long history of doing as he pleases and ignoring the law. He, and the right-wing money and noise machine, have somehow convinced the people of a formerly progressive state to vote against their own interests. I think, as a guy who lives here and contributes to the state (both economically through my skill set, and through the volunteerism I've engaged in through the 30-plus years I've lived here, feel perfectly entitled to state my opinion. Your insults won't change that.

I would like to see the state by state data on ER visits.
I can defend my statement about Christ's teachings with Matthew 25: 35-40. What do you have for your statement about his teachings?
ER visits in large have grown not specifically WI numbers but as a nation. Jesus also taught caring for yourself which society is sorely lacking these days
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/may/4/er-visits-under-obamacare-doctors-say/?page=all
That's sort of like "America, love it or leave it."
People realize that the ACA is a sham? I'm sure they do. People also realize the ACA is great. It depends who you talk to, doesn't it?
Apparently, you are not Christian. After all, Christ said it was the responsibility of his followers to take care of the poor and elderly. Fortunately, the elderly are taken care of by Medicare. I didn't know that about emergency room visits. The opposite is true of Minnesota. That's really strange since Wisconsin and Minnesota are next to each other. Could you supply a link to that information?
Since you clearly hate WI and think we are a bunch of alcoholic racist why don't you do us and yourself a favor and move? Nobody is making you stay and i don't think anyone would care if you left. WI isn't but into the fear of the left simple as that. People realize the ACA is a sham built on the fears of people catching illnesses or sporadic cancer. Honestly look at the ACA and you can tell it was a pyramid scheme build off the young to support the poor, elderly and unemployed. Of course that back fired as emergency room visits have greatly increased since the ACA was put into place and the young didnt sign up in droves.
As for the rest of your stick if WI was really so progressive how did Walker dominate every election he had? Could it be that WI doesn't support the ideas of union control, lush salary packages and selling our future

Let's just hope none of the clowns turn out to be Mr. Pennywise (shudder).
Maybe marshmallows might be a better choice? There'll be plenty of burning dreams on which to roast them on.
Photo ID requirement for voting- if you have a job, drink, smoke, drive, go see movies, have a bank account you already have this
Reducing early voting from 30 days to 12, while eliminating it entirely on evenings and weekends. If you need more than 12 days to vote you probably dont care that much about voting to begin with
Require proof of residence when registering to vote- seems like common sense really. If you want to vote here prove you live here
Eliminated the certification of statewide voter registrars, meaning that anyone who registers others to vote can only do so in the county in which they're certified- again stops people from voting outside of county lines
Increased the residency requirement for voting from 10 days to 28 (excepting presidential elections)- nothing wrong with having people actually live where the vote for a month
Require that citizens who move within the state less than four weeks prior to an election vote in their old locality- again not unreasonable to expect people to have an established address to vote
Eliminated faxing and emailing of absentee ballots to anyone other than military or overseas voters- with 12 days to vote dont see why this was ever allowed for people other than military to begin with
same as any other elections you shouldnt get a do over because you made a mistake
Required an area for poll monitors be set up between three and eight feet from the table where voters sign in- a lot of places already have this so not a big deal
Eliminated straight-ticket voting for all but military or overseas voters, increasing wait times at polling locations- hmmmm forces people to see who their voting for not sure thats a bad thing
nothing makes it harder to use a student ID
Yes, it's the Zeitgeist and that brings us back to the Hegelian pendulum. Damn!
Oh, I wish.
Actually I live in the hometown of that famous football team. The city is becoming more diverse, but there's still a lot of racism here. There's a lot of other -isms here, too, including alcoholism. That may explain a lot about Wisconsin and this city in particular.
While the city itself is perhaps becoming more liberal, you don't have to drive very far (20 miles will do it) to find conservative, small-town America in all its regressive glory. I work in a small town about 20 miles away. I drive through farmland on the way, and see the campaign signs for Republicans. I drive by a decrepit barn with a sign saying "ALL Life Is SACRED" on it. It's the land of church bake sales and pressure to conform.
It's also, I might add, is the land of fundraisers for people who've experienced terrible loss and huge medical problems. Which is great and generous and all, but the irony comes in that they all hate "Obamacare" and any drift toward socialized medicine (I know, Bill Purdue, the ACA is not a very substantial drift toward socialized medicine, you can relax now). That socialized medicine that would save them the trouble of having all of these fundraisers.
Essentially, the people in these small towns and rural areas have bought into the "Us vs. Them" mentality that's been pushed by the Republican propaganda machine, as I pointed out above in my reply to Indigo.
I can't honestly point to one thing that caused Wisconsin to get on the wrong track. I suspect that a lot of it has to do with what has afflicted other parts of the country – fearmongering on the part of the ruling class (not-so-oddly, mostly Republicans).
The steady pumping up of any fear, however irrational it may be, the steady dissemination of right-wing propaganda and the concerted effort to suppress voting affect any place that's vulnerable. Those vulnerable places are states with large rural populations that aren't offset by large urban populations.
I have met many smart, thoughtful people who live in rural areas. By and large, though, rural people are captive to a particular culture. It revolves around, as Obama said, God and Guns. In Wisconsin, add Alcohol and racism to the mix and you've got the 4 poles that hold up the Republican tent in the state.
Republicans are good at working the long game and repeating a talking point endlessly. Their message has been pounded into the heads of rural voters who have had little exposure to alternative narratives, or have rejected them because it would be going against the local grain.
Swinging it back the other way will take persistence, and most likely, a lot of one-on-one work. I don't think I'll live long enough to see it.
That makes it official. The Republican Clown Car is entering the Big Tent while we ponder these developments.
Over to you, then. It was quite a surprise to me when Walker was elected. I expected better from Wisconsin. Here in Florida, with Governor Scott, that was a disappointment but not a surprise. Myself, a native Hoosier, am appalled by the rude religion goings-on in Indiana but again, not really surprised. Wisconsin, however, used to be a bastion of clear thinking. What went wrong?
I hope you live in Madison, it doesn't count as WI, anymore than Ann Arbor counts as Michigan. :-)
Oh, by all means enjoy! I'll bring the popcorn! :-)
I'd prefer that we act before they put on the armbands. Hell, as much as I don't like it, I live in Wisconsin (kinda stuck here).
Oh yeah, I just heard that Lindsey Graham is also running in 2016. You are going to have a very, very interesting election come 2016. I'm excited to see who's campaign goes down in flames first. Is it wrong to enjoy that? Probably, but it's too delicious to miss, even if they don't give so much coverage about the election back here. But that's why I read Americablog.
It's unbelievable (or maybe not actually) to see one of the key foundations of democracy being undermined like this. But I'm glad that people are active in protecting their rights.
I remember when Wisconsin was a progressive place. I guess the times really have changed. But let's not panic until they put on their arm bands.
