We went to Texas Book Festival and made you this reading list
American-Statesman staff
Oct 28, 2019 at 4:20 PM Oct 30, 2019 at 5:01 PM
The Texas Book Festival didn't end with the last author panel (seriously, the fest has programming throughout the year and gives out library grants, too). Now you get to start reading all the books and authors you discovered or got reacquainted with over two days of sessions and browsing. Here are some recommendations from team Austin360.
ERIC WEBB
Saeed Jones: This was a big weekend for Jones, the poet and former Buzzfeed editor. He won the Kirkus Prize for nonfiction for his new memoir, "How We Fight for Our Lives," on Friday. Then at the fest, he appeared on two panels: one on writing about mothers and one celebrating the work of Toni Morrison. In both, he was an electric, witty presence who drew focus. A passage he read in the first panel from his memoir, about watching his mother dance to "grown folks' music" as a child, was hypnotic and proved "Lives" is indeed a must-read.
Karen Tongson and Andrea Lawlor: The authors' Saturday panel on queer identity and pop music was my favorite of the festival, and endlessly quotable. ("The dirty hotness of shame is not to be denied," Lawlor said.) If their books — "Why Karen Carpenter Matters" and "Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl," respectively — contain a fraction of their insights into the power of mixtapes, public libraries as portals to queerness and the joys of Christine and the Queens, they'll be essential reads.
Samantha Power: We must figure out how to engage with people with whom we disagree vehemently, she said at a Saturday conversation. The former ambassador to the United Nations read a passage from her new memoir, "The Education of an Idealist," that detailed her unusual relationship with her Russian counterpart, Vitaly Churkin. I'm curious to explore the optimistic point of view of a woman who's seen more than most ever will.
Kristen Arnett: The author of "Mostly Dead Things" spoke with dark humor about grief, loneliness and taxidermy. Everything in this world is taxidermy, it turns out.
Jennifer duBois and Mary Miller: The authors of "The Spectators" and "Biloxi," respectively, took festgoers into the world of their unlikeable characters, and I want more. ("Biloxi" was our June pick for the Statesman Selects series with BookPeople.)
FEST WRAP: Grisham at Texas Book Festival: 'Writers steal everything'
Chef Aarón Sánchez's "Where I Come From: Life Lessons From a Latino Chef" delves into the story behind one of the nation's most prominent Latino chefs. The co-star of Fox's "MasterChef" and "MasterChef Junior" opens up about everything from his struggles with depression to his rise to television personality stardom as one of the early Food Network stars. His candor and authentic voice make it easy for everyone to connect with his powerful story.
MICHAEL BARNES
Topic No. 1 at the Texas Book Festival over the weekend was not the authors, books or events, but rather the cool, crisp weather, which urged a more festive than usual atmosphere. Probably related, festival regulars noticed an uptick in foot traffic and attendance at speeches, signings and demonstrations.
My deepest plunge into the official events was a panel on "Mr. Texas," J. Frank Dobie, that included Stephen Harrigan ("Big Wonderful Thing"), Sarah Bird ("Recent Studies Indicate") and Steven L. Davis ("J. Frank Dobie: A Liberated Mind" and, most recently, "The Essential J. Frank Dobie"). I moderated lightly.
Those three leading literary figures discussed the slow revival of interest in Dobie, who died in 1964, as a serious writer and thinker, the cyclical nature of the Texas myth, and works by other key Texas authors, especially the recently deceased Bill Wittliff ("Lonesome Dove" screenplay, "Devil's Backbone"). Some of the discussed authors were in the room, including Elizabeth Crook ("The Which Way Tree"), Victor Emanuel ("One More Warbler"), Wes Ferguson ("The Blanco River") and Ed Crowell ("Barton Creek").
Still other Texas writers, such as Lee Walker ("Imagination House") were represented in person inside the exhibitor tents — crowded this year, especially on Saturday. At the Waterloo Press booth, I chatted with dozens of American-Statesman readers about volumes 1-3 of "Indelible Austin," collections of stories that first appeared here in print. Volume 3 debuted at the fest on Saturday.
LUZ MORENO-LOZANO
"Just Ask! Be Different, Be Brave, Be You": it took 30 years for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to write this book, she said at the fest. She said she had it in her head for a long time, and with a full-time job, she had to write this in her spare time. It encourages readers to ask questions and not be afraid to be different. Also by Sotomayor: "The Beloved World of Sonia Sotomayor" and "Turning Pages."

ASHER PRICE
I loved Kevin Robbins' talk on "The Last Stand of Payne Stewart: The Year Golf Changed Forever."
I'm not a golf guy, but Kevin's book is a fascinating look at an outsize personality who was just maturing as a person and an athlete when he died in the most haunting of ways.
SHARON CHAPMAN
Angie Cruz and Michele Filgate: These two authors were on the "Mothers" panel with Saeed Jones (I co-sign the Jones recommendation from my colleague Eric Webb). Both spoke with humor, compassion, honesty and ultimately affection about their sometimes complicated relationships with their mothers (whatever your maternal relationship, it's complicated, it seems). I am looking forward to reading Filgate's anthology of essays, "What My Mother and I Don't Talk About: Fifteen Writers Break the Silence," which was inspired by an essay of the same name that she wrote about abuse in her teens; and Cruz's novel "Dominicana," which is fiction but heavily inspired by her mother's life, including her immigration from the Dominican Republic to New York City in the 1960s.
Few things get me more excited about ideas than the Texas Book Festival, and two panels prompted two instant purchases.
I now absolutely have to read "God Land," Lyz Lenz's account of her upbringing as a conservative, home-schooled Christian and what happened when the 2016 election helped end her marriage and turn her world upside down. I have long enjoyed her journalism and her essays, but Lenz was a riveting speaker, and I can't wait to read her memoir.
I am similarly excited to pick up Alix Ohlin's "Dual Citizens." It is novel about two sisters and their relationship over time, but it also features a great deal of writing about film editing, a process with which I am endlessly fascinated. While I am deeply agnostic about fiction about pop music in general and rock music in particular, I am an all-day sucker for novels about films and filmmaking.
Also recommended: Members of our Austin360 Book Club (join us on Facebook) enjoyed appearances by these authors: John Grisham ("The Guardians"); Malcolm Gladwell ("Talking to Strangers"); Courtney Maum ("Costalegre")'; Thomas Mallon ("Landfall"); Aaron Franklin ("Franklin Steak"); Craig Johnson ("Longmire" series); and H.W. Brands ("Dreams of El Dorado: A History of the American West").

Let Christmas begin!
Let Christmas begin! All across the country right now, our volunteers are sharing their happy, sparkling celebrations with refugees, and having lots and lots of fun together. This is a great and uplifting way to make people feel welcome to the UK, and to introduce them to some of our customs and culture – while having a brilliant time into the bargain.
Our volunteers have worked as hard as Santa's elves to make this magic happen, and you can see, it means everything to the refugees.
In South West London, volunteers, and supporters in the community gave food, gifts and their time to put on a party (that's two of the team with Santa in the first picture). Jamie Jibberish, AKA Magic for Smiles also came along to make special memories for families and individuals who have been through so much in the past year. It was a totally spectacular show!
In Thurrock, our volunteers worked closely with the community church who helped make it possible to put on a party and reach so many more families. Families all brought a plate of food to share, made a rag wreath, played games and danced. All children will also be given a Christmas present by the church community.
Manchester volunteers have been working like crazy to gather hundreds of presents to be given out to refugees who might otherwise not receive anything. They even had enough to send Laurence the van driver off making deliveries way beyond Manchester. Fantastic effort!
In Derby, volunteers hosted a brilliant Christmas dinner at the Susanna Wesley House, with games, turkey, crackers, Christmas hats, presents and lots of dancing! Everyone had great fun and it was a lovely end to what has been quite a hard year.
Meanwhile up the road in West Yorkshire volunteers had a party at Chapel FM where the lads shared some of their own culture by making awesome "proper" coffee. They also gave out presents by kind courtesy of @Lush, and some knitted hats. One guy took two – one for a friend, he said, but they made everyone laugh by putting them both on because he was freezing!
Thank you to all the volunteers and supporters making these amazing things happen. More tomorrow!

Cuenca Cigars House blend is the coffee from the house of Starbucks which has typical taste of a Starbuckian coffee. It is made from finest quality and premium long fillers tobaccos from Nicaragua and Honduras that are carefully aged to bring forth the flavors of nuts and cocoa locked within them. The result is a fine balance of taste, aroma, body and flavor. Try it at an attractive price.

Q: how to show latency information in summary report in Jmeter How do i get the latency information to show up in the summary report table.
Currently only elapsed time average,Max,min. But it does not show latency info.
I tried by selecting "Save Latency" when clicking on Configure.
Using jmeter-plugin i am only able to generate graph for with Latency vs time. But i need to show latency in the summary report. Is there any setting i need to do.
the jtl file contains info but since it is headless not sure if latency information is showing.
Thanks

A: You need to uncomment the following property in jmeter.properties file and set it to true
jmeter.save.saveservice.latency=true

It is also possible to override the property from command line like:
jmeter -n -J jmeter.save.saveservice.latency=true ......

You may also want to consider analysis service for JMeter which provides a much richer representation of load test results.

A Grandfather's Heritage – Professor Cheng
What do you think of when you think of your grandfather? I grew up hearing about one of my grandfathers through bedtime stories. He had passed away before I was born, and so my only experiences of him were through a handful of photographs and a set of colorful tales known in the family as "Grandpa Harry stories," one of which involved a doctor riding a goat into the house. My experiences of my grand-teacher Professor Cheng Man Ching have been similarly from a distance, since I began my Tai Chi Chuan study shortly after he passed away. During my Tai Chi Chuan "childhood," my classmates and I heard wonderful "Professor Cheng stories" from his students as they passed through town giving us workshops. "I was driving the Professor one day and he said to me …" or, "The Professor didn't speak English, and I didn't speak Chinese, but …" We heard these stories over and over again, and never ceased to be delighted by them. What was verbally handed down to us through his students/our teachers was supplemented by the color film, and by a thin English book with green covers by Professor, first published in Taiwan in 1962. That was the only book available at the time, and it had to be special-ordered through our teachers. When I myself later began to teach Tai Chi Chuan, I drew from this book constantly and would carefully study the book while riding the bus to class. When Professor's other books began to appear in English, I read them avidly, and enjoyed the blend of Tai Chi, philosophy, and stories they contained. It was in these ways that I and my fellow students came to know and admire our grand-teacher, even though we'd never met him. When I entered graduate school, one of my main goals was to do research on Tai Chi Chuan. For one project, I decided to do a biographical sketch of Professor Cheng. I gathered materials during visits to Taiwan and New York City, and interviewed numbers of his students. I came to know more about him and to respect him even more. Because of school, I also became more familiar with the Chinese classics and began to see how thoroughly Professor's work was imbued with a Confucian ethic. I came away with the impression that Professor had made some unique contributions to the field of Tai Chi study.
Professor Cheng's essays and commentaries on the Chinese classics give us rare insight
Professor Cheng continued for his whole life to carve out a literary and scholarly niche within the world of Tai Chi Chuan, that of a "Tai Chi philosopher." His influential Cheng-tzu's Thirteen Treatises remains without peer. His several form instruction books contain many gems, not the least of which are the photographs of him doing the Tai Chi form and tuishou. His essays and commentaries on the Chinese classics give us rare insight into the mind of a twentieth-century Renaissance man. His paintings and poetry give us beauty and grace. His movies show a man who mastered the integration of mind and body, substance and application. His broad mission may have been to "save" and promote traditional Chinese culture, but his humanity was also reflected in relationships with his many students. Professor Cheng, more than many other Tai Chi masters of his time, expanded the notion of what Tai Chi Chuan is about-that it truly was a "Tao," a path for leading one's life. This Tao went far beyond Tai Chi Chuan's origins in martial arts and beyond its use as a health exercise. In Professor's hands, Tai Chi Chuan became a means to "zuo ren," to make oneself a good person. My grandfather taught his children, who in turn, taught me, my siblings, and my cousins. Even though I never met him, my grandfather's influence has been passed down to me, whether in the color of my eyes, in a gesture, or in the ways in which I choose to live my life. In this same way, I would like to think that Professor's work lives on in all of us, not just in the way we move or turn or step. I hope that we can measure up in some small way to his example of not only practicing Tai Chi Chuan and exploring its multi-faceted depths, but learning how to be a good person.
Professor Cheng Man Ching Series
Cheng Man Ching was also named the "Master of Five Excellences". He was one of the first who taught Taijiquan in the West and his Taijiquan style is spread all over the world. Here you will find many articles about his teaching and how it is taught by his his students.
Cheng Man Ching's way of teaching (4): On being a masterCheng Man Ching's teaching was marked by underlining sameness and diversity at the expense of hierarchy and difference. This approach formed the basis of his unique way of bridging the cultural gap between East and West.
Cheng Man Ching's way of teaching (3): On meditation Our idea of meditation is mainly influenced by two aspects, the visual and the practical aspect. The mind's uniform picture of a meditating person is someone sitting still in a peaceful environment, in a monastery or on a mountain.
Cheng Man Ching's way of teaching (2): The Dantian The discussion about the nature of the Dantian is old and it remains unresolved until today: Is the Dantian a bodily, material reality or an ideal concept of Traditional Chinese Medicine to explain certain psychosomatic correlations? The debate cannot simply be described as a conflict between East and West or between Tradition and Modernity.
Cheng Man Ching's way of teaching (1): "I am not a guru." Cheng Man Ching, student of Yang Chengfu, came to New York in the 60s, at first teaching Taijiquan in the Chinese community, later also teaching Westerners. Being a university professor from a family of scholars and deeply rooted in traditional Chinese culture, he was confronted with flower children searching for a guru.
Cheng Man Ching on the dao of Taijiquan – a poem Cheng Man Ching is portrayed by his students as an example of total dedication and commitment to the Chinese Arts, especially concerning Taijiquan.
Self-massage as taught by Prof. Cheng Man Ching Cheng Man Ching was known as a master of the five excellences. As a teacher, he taught calligraphy and Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as Taijiquan, Push Hands and sword fencing. Advocating Taijiquan as a method of self-cultivation and health-preservation, he also used to teach his Taijiquan students aspects of other Chinese arts.

Well... No complaints at all. After all, this is just a SHOW of what we'll have in the future.
However.. The only thing I recall that's besides too odd, (not incluiding the RUN FOR IT animation) is the crawling movement. But, who cares? I'm just someone that cares for small details.
So, keep it going , I would like to see it with more than one player together though.

Remember the character used and its animations are placeholders. A lots of animations sequences are of good quality, but are not adequate for my use.

After the COOP or DIE Quake2 update I will restart a 6 month development session. Multi-player will be the main subject.


Many at times, when we go looking for superfoods, we want foods that will take care of all our needs. Companies have created supplements and food substitutes that are to help you solve all your problems. However, sometimes the solution is staring right at you. Foods contain different variations of nutrients and minerals, and while you might not want to give up on your search for the healthiest foods, here are a number of everyday foods that aren't just readily available, but also have high benefits to your body's health.
Who said sweet isn't healthy? Berries are not only delicious, they also contain a variety of health benefits such as anthocyanin, an antioxidant that helps keep the memory sharp, fight free radicals, and in recent research, have been proven to help fight heart diseases.
Berries are also an excellent source of fibre, which aids in digestion. Vitamin C, which is recommended for skin firming, can also be found in berries.
Sweet potatoes can be found nearly in any market. Many people only consume them once in a while, but the nutrients packed inside sweet potatoes might just change that frequency.
They contain Vitamin B6 which reduces the chemical homocysteine in your body. Homocysteine has been linked to heart attacks and other degenerative diseases. They are also rich in alpha and beta-carotene, which the body converts into Vitamin A that is in turn used to improve bones, eyes and the body's overall immunity. Other nutrients found in sweet potatoes include vitamin C, manganese, and potassium.
Spinach is one of the most readily available vegetables in the land. But, did you also know spinach has a range of nutrients and minerals such as vitamins A, C, E and K, iron, fibre, magnesium, calcium, and potassium? These nutrients help with replenishment of blood, improve eyesight and boosting metabolism and digestive systems.
Rich in essential vitamins such as A, C and K (which help with bone health) it's simple to see why broccoli makes it to the list. However, there's more to this veggie; it is also rich in sulforaphane which is a type of isothiocyanate, a component that's been found to help fight cancer.
They are known mostly for vitamin C, an essential element in the production of antibodies and white blood cells that help fight off infections. Vitamin C is also an active oxidant which helps protect cells from free radicals damage as well as produce skin-firming collagen. Moreover, oranges are a source of fibre and folate, the latter being used for by the body to reduce stroke risk, and improve colon health.
Yes, yoghurt. It's rich in primary nutrients such as calcium, Vitamin B12, magnesium, and potassium. It is also rich in protein, which has been proven to increase the body's metabolism, therefore burning excess calories. In some cases, it has also been known to fight osteoporosis.
Overlooking the health benefits offered by these everyday foods is simple. We often want to go looking for a new treat, something new that you can add to your diet (which is ok). But, sometimes, we need to look closer home for the answers we seek.
I write the white, the black, and all the shades in between.

Billions of pounds are given to charities every year but most of this money finds its way to the high profile names which leaves smaller organisations without the power of well-known brands struggling to survive.
How to help
Please help us make a difference in the community. This does not necessarily have to be in monetary form. You can vote or nominate New Hope, Birmingam as your favourite charity for grants allocated to projects supporting disadvantaged ethnic minorities.
You can also help us spread the word of our community activities on social media so people are more aware of the services we provide. Recommend us to any struggling individual or families you may know of who needs help. There is always the option of supporting our cause directly by making a one off donation or monthly direct debit.
We have helped nearly 200 people in our community since we started and more projects are being implemented. Currently, our focus is on providing vocational training, career advice, and community cohesion activities to address more pressing issues in today's society.
Success of New Hope
The New Hope is proud to announce that the Chairman Mr Mohammed Foiz Uddin MBE received an exclusive invitation by Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II to attend a Reception Ceremony for the Commonwealth Diaspora at the Buckingham Palace on 14th of February 2018. The Queen invited them to show her appreciation for their contribution to the British Civic Society. In addition, Mr Uddin had been privileged to get the opportunity to discuss various community issues with the Prime Minister Rt. Hon Theresa May MP and her husband Mr Philip May, including Foreign Secretary Rt. Hon Boris Johnson MP and the High Commissioners of the Commonwealth Countries. The Queen, Prince Charles, Camilla Parker, Duchess of Cornwall and Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester wanted to know about his community activities and his Community Cohesion work in West Midlands. It has been the most memorable day for New Hope forever. Report- Maruf Ahmed, PhD, Project Coordinator
New Hope has been supported by a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to promote community cohesion through English learning, Career Education, Community Befriending Sessions, Parenting Sessions and cooking demonstrations in the diverse community of Birmingham.

Q: Diagnose brushless three phase motor controller Can I test somehow if my brushless motor controller works? After some time of playing with it and with the three phases motor from old HHD, this pair just stops working.
LED is on, but nothing more works.
The motor seems to be not damaged. After attaching DC to two (from four) input wires, it starts to shudder a little bit, and it can't be moved (spun) by a hand (it's locked). The values of resistance between the inputs also the same as when I was measuring it before the failure.
After attaching the motor to the controller, nothing happens. It can be spun by hand. Can I find out if the controller is damaged with the multimeter?
This is the type on my controller:

Residential-Multi-family Complexes Click here visit the UMW Apartments webpage
The UMW Foundation owns two apartment complexes adjacent to the UMW campus. They include the UMW Apartments, located at the corner of William Street and College Avenue and Eagle Landing, located in Eagle Village. Together, these two complexes provide 350,000 sf of housing for UMW and account for nearly one-third of the University's beds.
The UMW Apartments - Purchased by the Foundation in 2002, these
traditional, garden-style apartments offer spacious 1, 2, 3 or 4 bedroom
units with full kitchens and private patios or balconies. This 125-unit
complex is composed of 10 buildings that are spread over six acres
of land and house approximately 350 UMW students.
Eagle Landing - Designed by the University and constructed/owned by
the Foundation, this premium student housing project opened to
students in the fall of 2010 as the first phase of the redevelopment of
Eagle Village. Eagle Landing offers upscale 2-bedroom apartments with
private bathrooms, a living room, and an eat-in kitchen with granite
countertops and stainless appliances. This 155-unit complex comprises
one five-story building and houses approximately 620 UMW students.
At any given time, the UMW Foundation normally owns a small portfolio of single family homes both inside and outside of Fredericksburg, with some of the properties located out-of-state. Properties near any of UMW's three campuses are often purchased for future land needs or for temporary office or faculty/staff housing. Properties held by the Foundation outside of the region are often gifted properties that are to be sold with the proceeds designated by the donor for a special project or purpose.
Commercial Portfolio-Retail
The UMW Foundation is one of the largest owner/operators of commercial retail properties in the Fredericksburg region. The Foundation's flagship retail development is called Eagle Village, which is conveniently located within the city along US Route 1. The Foundation also owns the Pizza Hut property on the opposite side of route 1. Together, these two complexes provide 170,000 sf of retail space for the surrounding community and the University.
Eagle Village - In 2007, the UMW Foundation purchased a failing 1960's-era strip mall called Park-N-Shop. In 2009 and 2010 the Foundation purchased two adjacent parcels, the Twi-Lite Motel and the Rodger Dodger Shopping Center respectively. Today, the three parcels are known as Eagle Village, which is a 23-acre mixed-use development of commercial retail and office space, apartment housing, and a Hyatt Place hotel. The complex features over 40 stores and restaurants within 160,000 sf of both newly developed and rehabilitated retail space.
Pizza Hut Center - In 2010, the UMW Foundation purchased the Pizza Hut
complex located across Route 1 from Eagle Village and adjacent to the
UMW campus. The restaurant underwent a complete re-build in 2015-16
and is operated by a franchisee in Kansas City, Missouri. The Foundation
leases most of the property to the University, which utilizes it for
faculty/student surface parking.
Commercial Portfolio-Office
The UMW Foundation owns two office buildings adjacent to the UMW campus. They include a small 5,000 sf office building on William Street, which the Foundation purchased in 2008, and the Executive Offices at Eagle Village, a class-A office building that the Foundation designed, built, and opened to tenants in 2010. The Executive Offices building offers over 32,000 sf of leased space for both local corporations and businesses as well as university-related offices.
Commercial Portfolio-Warehouse
In 2013 the UMW Foundation purchased the former Hostess Brands Warehouse, which is located adjacent to Eagle Village Although it is only an acre in size, the property has over 14,000 sf of useable space, which the University utilizes for its storage and warehousing needs.
Commercial Portfolio-Hospitality Click here to visit the Hyatt Place page
Based on favorable market studies and the needs of the University, the UMW Foundation purchased a hotel franchise from Hyatt Hotels and Resorts in 2012 and commenced with the design and construction of the Hyatt Place Fredericksburg at Mary Washington. In January 2014, the Foundation opened the 65,000 sf hotel, which features 93 rooms and suites, 1,500 sf of meeting space, spacious social areas/bar, 24-hour food and beverage service, a fitness center and an indoor swimming pool. The hotel is located within the heart of Eagle Village and provides direct access to both Mary Washington Hospital via a connecting pedestrian and vehicular road and to the UMW campus via a pedestrian bridge over US Route 1.
Parking Portfolio- Garage and Surface
The UMW Foundation owns over 1,800 parking spaces, which are used by various constituencies from commercial retail and office customers to UMW staff, faculty and students. Included in the portfolio is a 192,000 sf, 540-space, five-story parking deck in Eagle Village, which provides approximately 400 secured spaces to residents of Eagle Landing and the balance to tenants of the Executive Offices at Eagle Village.
Land Bank Portfolio - Farms, Waterfront & Woodlands
In addition to all of its real estate holdings within the City of Fredericksburg, the UMW Foundation also owns nearly 600 acres of undeveloped land in nearby Stafford County, Virginia. These parcels include a waterfront farm along the Rappahannock River, a bird sanctuary, and approximately 500 acres of land strategically located adjacent to UMW's Stafford Campus along the fast-growing US Route 17 corridor. The Foundation conducts farming and timber operations on these properties, which are all open to UMW students and faculty for recreation and academic study.
Development Portfolio- Construction Projects
When requested by the University, The UMW Foundation will occasionally serve as the project manager and financier for special construction projects. One of these projects was the 110,000 sf University Center on the UMW campus. This $58 million project was completed on time and was opened to students in the fall of 2015.
Sales and Acquisitions Portfolio
The UMW Foundation is the depository and steward for gifts of real estate that are donated to the University. Typically, it is more advantageous for a donor to deed gifts of real property to the UMW Foundation and rely upon the Foundation to market the property and finalize the sale. The Foundation then ensures that the proceeds from the sale are utilized for the donor's designated purpose, such as a scholarship endowment, special campus project, etc. The Foundation engages qualified real estate brokers and professionals to care for the property while the parcel is marketed for sale.
The UMW Foundation owns several academic facilities used by the University. They include the 9,000 sf Writing and Debate Center located at 1201 William Street and the 35-acre Eagle Lake Outpost in Stafford County. The Eagle Lake Outpost includes a small lake with a dock for fishing and boating, and also boasts four dry cabins for academic use and overnight accommodations. This property is part of the larger 215-acre Stafford West tract, which is attractive for camping, hiking and various academic pursuits.

Abstract: This research tests the hypothesis that the amplitude of the steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP), a neural response to repetitive visual stimuli, is positively correlated with stimulus intensity. SSVEPs are often used as input mechanisms for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), systems that establish a direct communication channel between human brains and computers. User performance with SSVEP-based BCIs is dependent on the amplitude of the SSVEP response, which has been shown to be affected by stimulus parameters. In particular, previous results have shown that the SSVEP amplitude is positively correlated with parameters such as stimulus contrast, size, and viewing distance. These stimulus parameters are related to stimulus intensity, the total amount of light emitted by the stimuli, which suggests that SSVEP amplitude is also positively correlated with stimulus intensity. Such a relationship is often accepted in SSVEP-based BCI literature, but has yet to be experimentally verified. In this study, ten subjects were presented with flickering stimuli at eleven stimulus intensities. The stimuli flickered at a frequency of 7 Hz and were presented at a fixed distance using an LED panel. The SSVEP response was recorded using electroencephalography and analyzed using Fourier and canonical correlation analyses, which are both commonly used in SSVEP-based BCI systems. The results of this study show a significant positive correlation (R=0.173,p=9.122*10^(-7)) between stimulus intensity and the amplitude of the SSVEP response for the measured stimulus intensities.

Spy Story: Paris World Motor Sport Council hearing adjourned for lunch
Written by David on September 13th, 2007 at 3:46 pmLast Update: September 13th, 2007 at 4:57 pm
World Motor Sport Council hearing in Paris has been adjourned for lunch, with proceedings now expected to go for longer than originally planned. The hearing involving McLaren and Ferrari began this morning at 9:30 am, with a large number of Formula One personnel present, including an unexpected appearance from Ross Brawn.
The former Ferrari technical director, who is on sabbatical, has come to the hearing to be on-hand for Ferrari should they need him to give testimony to the WMSC. Brawn has already given a written submission, but he could still be called to speak today if Ferrari need him. According to those present at the hearing room, Lewis Hamilton made a brief visit to the hearing room but was not questioned or examined. He has since left the FIA building.
The morning section was, rather, dominated primarily by a detailed examination of McLaren engineering director Paddy Lowe's testimony. The proceedings, however, were marred by heated discussions, which have vastly prolonged the hearing beyond its original schedule. At lunch break, McLaren chief Ron Dennis and Mercedes motorsport director Norbert Haug went to lunch at a nearby hotel without making any comment, although the McLaren camp as a whole appeared upbeat. Among those teams represented in the hearing as observers are Williams, Renault, Spyker and Red Bull.
Spyker team chief Colin Kolles was coy when asked of his impression of the case so far. "Some things are very obvious, to be honest," he said as he too left for lunch. The WMSC hearing will resume at 2:00 pm local time but is now expected to continue throughout the afternoon. McLaren are scheduled to hold a press conference an hour after the verdict is handed out.

Is there any truth in the claims that Red Meat causes cancer?
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) published their evaluation of red and processed meat on October 26, 2015 in the British Medical journal The Lancet Oncology. It states that "Red meat contains high biological value proteins and important micronutrients such as B vitamins, iron (both free iron and haem iron), and zinc."

Required parameters

path

      The path to be snapped. The path parameter accepts a list of
      latitude/longitude pairs. Latitude and longitude values should be
      separated by commas. Coordinates should be separated by the pipe
      character: "|". For example:
      path=60.170880,24.942795|60.170879,24.942796|60.170877,24.942796.

      Note: The snapping algorithm works best for points that are not too far
      apart. If you observe odd snapping behavior, try creating paths that have
      points closer together. To ensure the best snap-to-road quality, you
      should aim to provide paths on which consecutive pairs of points are
      within 300m of each other. This will also help in handling any isolated,
      long jumps between consecutive points caused by GPS signal loss, or noise.

Optional parameters

interpolate

      Whether to interpolate a path to include all points forming the full
      road-geometry. When true, additional interpolated points will also be
      returned, resulting in a path that smoothly follows the geometry of the
      road, even around corners and through tunnels. Interpolated paths will
      most likely contain more points than the original path. Defaults to
      false.

I didn't include Za'Darius Smith among the 20 free agents the Packers should consider signing in the last newsletter. Not because I didn't think he was a good young player, but because I didn't think general manager Brian Gutekunst would be willing to pay $12 million per for an outside linebacker whose best season came in his contract year, and to be perfectly honest, whose best season wasn't all that great.
Well, I was right. Gutekunst wasn't willing to pay Smith $12 million per; he was willing to pay $16.5 million per. That yearly average puts the former Baltimore Raven in the same financial neighborhood as Chandler Jones (Cardinals) and Melvin Ingram (Chargers). They have combined for 119 career sacks and four Pro Bowls. Smith has 18.5 career sacks and has been to as many Pro Bowls as Reggie Gilbert.
The best thing about the former Kentucky star is his versatility. He's capable of rushing from anywhere. In fact, he proved to be most effective last season when lined up at tackle. That's because the 26-year-old not only has the quickness to make life miserable for interior offensive linemen, but he also has enough strength to overpower players who outweigh him by 30 or 40 pounds. You don't see that very often from outside linebackers – even ones who are as big as Smith (6-4, 272). He's also relentless. If his initial charge isn't effective, unlike many big guys, he'll keep working.
The following plays from last season are perfect examples of Smith (#90) using his unique combination of quickness, strength, and tenacity to make life miserable for QBs. Among these plays, you'll see 5 of his 8.5 sacks.
Lined up between Cleveland's right guard and right tackle, Smith disengages from Kevin Zeitler (#70) and races by Chris Hubbard (#74) on his way to quarterback Baker Mayfield. He arrives a split-second too late to prevent the TD.
Lined up between Cleveland's left tackle and left guard, Smith sees a potential soft spot and takes advantage of it by overpowering center JC Tretter (#64). While he once again arrives a split-second late, this time he hurries Mayfield into a pick.
Lined up over Tennessee's right guard, Smith uses his strength to push Josh Kline (#64) back 5 yards before sacking quarterback Marcus Mariota.

The Department of Labor's new rule is expected to extend overtime protections to 4.2 million white-collar workers beginning Dec. 1, 2016. Understanding how it impacts sales employees with complex pay structures is the key to maintaining compliance and mitigating risk under overtime expansion.
Do salespersons' commissions count toward the threshold?
The salary requirements of the regulation do not apply to the outside sales exemption.
Inside sales employees can be paid on commission, in whole or in part, and be exempt from overtime if they meet three criteria under Section 7(i) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
The employee's regular rate of pay must exceed one and one-half times the applicableminimum wage for every hour worked in a workweek (the equivalent of 168 consecutive hours, or seven consecutive 24-hour periods) in which overtime hours are worked.
More than half the employee's total earnings in a representative period must consist of bona fide commission payments.
When it comes to employment law, the devil is in the details. This is why we need to expound on what constitutes "bona fide commission payments," according to the FLSA.
This can be a complicated matter. Consulting legal counsel would be your best bet to ensure that your commission-based plans for sales representatives qualify as "bona fide" under the law and count toward your inside sales employees' exemption from overtime.

Q: Expand tableHeaderView as UITableView scrolls like Twitter I'm trying to expand UITableView's tableHeaderView like how Twitter does it (well more like how they used to do it).  As I was messing with it, I happened to implement -scrollViewDidScroll like this:
 - (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
     if (self.tableView.contentOffset.y < 0) {
         float offsetY = self.tableView.contentOffset.y;
         CGRect tblFrame = self.tableView.tableHeaderView.frame;
         [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0]];
         self.tableView.tableHeaderView.frame = CGRectMake(tblFrame.origin.x, offsetY, tblFrame.size.width, originalHeaderHeight-offsetY);
     }
 }

and it works almost exactly how I wanted it to.  I went back to clean it up, and I took the [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0]]; out, and it stopped working.
When I take out -cellForRowAtIndexPath:  tableHeaderView's y origin does not get changed, so it expands, but it does not stay at the top of the view.  Can someone help me with this?


I respect the solitary witches who blaze your own trails, walk your own paths, and listen to your own gods. It can be a lonely, yet rewarding, life. It is not for the faint of heart. From the solitary we can all learn self-reliance and how to listen to our intuition.
I respect the witch who chooses a traditional coven. Whether it is Gardnerian, Alexandrian, reconstructionist, or another group, it requires an intense amount of devotion and time to learn a tradition. You have earned your titles and should be recognized by our community. From the members of groups and covens we can learn patience and determination.
I respect the kitchen witches who fill your homes with magick and tend the hearthfires. With the ancient elements you nourish your family and remind us all of our human history. From the kitchen witch we can all learn how to create magick from the mundane and appreciate the domestic arts.
I respect the hedgewitch who works with the spirits that surround us. It can be exhausting and misunderstood work. You have gifts that can help the living and the dead, and I admire that. From the hedgewitch we can learn how to communicate better and how to see different points of view.
I respect the sea witch who walks along the dunes at night and gathers kelp. The energy of the sea is one of the oldest and most powerful forms of magick, and is recognized in many cultures. From the sea witch we can learn to work in harmony with the elements and listen to the pull of the moon and tides.
I respect the gray witches who do not look at magick in black and white. Within magick, as within life, we are often called upon to use our own judgement in a situation. I do not condemn my fellow witches for not seeing things as I see them. From the gray witch we can learn to examine a situation from many points of view and realize that there are no rules but those we create for ourselves.
I respect witches of all genders and sexual orientation. Each person deserves to feel welcomed and comfortable in our community and does not need any more judgement than they already experience. From these witches we can all learn how to appreciate diversity and to practice tolerance and kindness.
I respect witches who are in tune with their local environment. It is important to learn about the creatures and plants who live near us and you have much knowledge. From these witches we can learn how to look closely at what is around us and how to be aware of the land we live on.
I respect the witches who are new to the craft and starting out. Most are willing to learn from elders and need to be guided by those of us who are older and have more experience. They do not need to be bullied or insulted, for we are all constantly learning. From the new witches we can learn to be teachers instead of judges and should remember the joys and mistakes of our youth.
I respect Christian witches. I support anyone's personal beliefs. Perhaps we should view these members of the community as bridge builders. With their help we may be able to open doors and cross the divide that has separated the religions. From the Christian witches we can learn that religious tolerance applies to all spiritual paths.
I respect the witches who try to adhere to the paths of your ancestors. It is not easy to do that in the modern era and you are to be treasured. You truly connect the generations and help pass on information that would otherwise be lost. From these witches we can learn to honor our elders and ancestors.
I respect all members of the pagan community who treat others with respect. It is indeed a circle, and each of us is part of the whole.
For all the paths I forgot to mention, I respect them too, and I will probably add to this as the mood strikes me.


In a move to help its customers dispose of forklift battery waste-water more safely and efficiently, Solus Group will now be offering a new waste-water recycling system through its website.
To help process the millions of orders it will receive this holiday season, Amazon won't exactly be enlisting the help of Santa's elves.
Instead, the country's largest online retailer plans to expedite order-processing times and get them to customers faster with the help of more than 15,000 small orange robots that look like oversized Roomba vacuums at its 109 warehouses around the country.
Warehouse solutions provider Solus Group will now offer Simpro's line of bin tippers to its catalog and website as part of the two companies' new partnership.
Each year, eye injuries result in astronomical costs for industrial workplaces everywhere. In fact, occupational eye injuries cost an astonishing $934 million annually for employers. This is because an eye injury results in direct costs like lost production time, medical costs and worker compensation as well as various indirect costs.
In any given year, December is undoubtedly the most important month for packaging and shipping supply chains.
This year, however, December might be even more important than usual, as experts predict that prices for packaging and shipping supply chains will rise at an unusually fast rate.
The temperature outside keeps getting colder -- so it seems like a logical idea to keep the warm air in and the cold air out by closing off any ventilation, especially when warehouses contain so much air that needs to be heated.
With the start of winter just weeks away, many areas of the country are already beginning to see snowfall. To make sure your warehouse is prepared for the worst winter weather, it's important to take action now while the weather is still relatively mild for much of the country.
As part of its continuing partnership with Battery Handling Systems (BHS), Solus Group will now be selling BHS' Parallel Reel Payout as part of its comprehensive offering of warehouse equipment.

A winery and vineyard in Grapevine, Texas.
A winery in Grapevine, Texas located in the historic Brock Family farm house.
Cross Timbers Winery is located in the Historic Brock Family farm house. The house was started in 1874 by Dr. Dorris who arrived on the Grapevine Prairie from Starkville, Mississippi. It has been recognized as being one of the 5 oldest structures in Grapevine, and has been renovated to capture the original design and spirit of its original builders.
Grapevine history books recorded many of the contributions made to Grapevine by the Dorris and Brock families. One of the things that intrigued its current owner was the many references family members made towards the "fun" they had in the old barn. So, after a rather extensive research project, the City of Grapevine allowed the "ol" barn to be reconstructed provided size, location and style could be insured. Clinton Brock (87 years young) and Freida, served as guides and hand drew the old barn from memory. Next the original footing was located and the new barn was reconstructed in the fall of 2001. It now serves as a popular location for weddings, receptions, corporate outings, birthday parties and family reunions. It is air-conditioned and heated for your comfort and a great venue for small to medium groups up to 175.
Cross Timbers Winery specialize in weddings, corporate parties, meetings, baby showers, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, graduation parties, and any celebration you may be hosting!
Cross Timbers Winery offers wine tastings with wine education, wine by the glass, by the bottle, and even by the case! We have both indoor and outdoor seating open for guests to enjoy local wines.
Want to host a private event? Have a question about a special wine? From grapes to guest counts, contact us to learn more about how Cross Timbers Winery can cater to you!

The winning hand becomes a family legacy
Imagine Great Great Grandpa Pete Christensen's surprise when he won a small telephone company in a game of Pinochle. It was 1912 and Pete was a young carpenter from Denmark with a little bit of luck and the moxie to work hard. Even in the beginning we were a family business with Pete's daughter, Annie Christensen Haynes, working long hours at the small, wooden, Kellogg switchboard that could handle up to 10 calls. We began our family business by gaining the trust of our local customers by simply providing rural Eatonville customers reliable telephone service.
In 1919, Henry Christensen purchased the Mashell Telephone and Telegraph Company from his father Pete and assumed leadership. In 1929, Henry moved to Olympia and Pete's younger son Dan took the reins. Dan passed away suddenly in 1954 and leadership of the company was given to Pete's grandson, Arne Haynes.
Arne took the helm as president of Mashell Telecom, now known as Rainier Connect, with six employees, 300 customers, and annual revenues of $32,000. He left behind his job at the cedar shake mill with hopes of new opportunities for this local telephone company.
Arne led us for 36 years, and among his many accomplishments, the first was to retire the operator required for every call and install an electronic switch that allowed customers to dial each other. His next step was to eliminate multi-party (shared) lines. He was also credited with leading one of the first telephone companies in Washington to digital switching. When Arne retired in 1990, he had grown the company from 300 to more than 1,800 customers. In 1990, Arne was ready to pass the baton to his son.
Arne's pending retirement created a difficult decision for his son, Skip Haynes, who was a partner in an accounting firm specializing in telecommunications. "We decided that either I had to come back or dad would sell the company," remembers Skip. When faced with the options, Skip returned to the family business and became CEO.
Technology changes the game
The growth in the technology and communication industry required Skip's focused attention on federal legislation that would make the telecommunications industry more competitive. Anticipating the passing of 1996 Telecommunications Act, which allowed communications companies to compete in any market against any company, Skip realized it was time to diversify. "I needed to make the transition from a monopoly organization to a competitive organization," said Skip.
The advancements of the company and its leadership were nationally recognized in 2006 when the US Telecom Association (USTA) elected Skip as Chairman of the Board. Skip served as Chairman and led its membership of more than 1,000 small, mid-size, and large telecom providers (including Verizon, SBC and Bell South). During his tenure, Skip chaired committees that elected a new CEO, and developed a new business plan. He was also instrumental in a complete revamping of USTA which resulted in it now being recognized as the premier telecom association in the US.
In 2004, we opened a new office in the heart of the downtown Tacoma business district, and Skip's son, Brian Haynes, joined us as Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Laying down the meld, a community connection
Today, with Brian at the helm, Rainier Connect offers high-speed internet, cable television, and telephone services to more than 15,000 customers. And we did all of this while remaining true to the vision of the family-owned company Pete won so many years ago in a hand of pinochle.
"Community involvement, support and enrichment have been the cornerstone of Rainier Connect's mission since it was founded back in 1910," said Brian Haynes, CEO. "Our focus is in the community. That goes for business and residential customers alike, we are one big community. Whatever we can do to help our customers, we will be there."
While he may not be an ace Pinochle player—in fact he doesn't even know how to play—Brian is a man to bet on the odds. With a vision of a connected community, Brian is committed to connecting our customers, both business and residential, to the fastest, most reliable, cutting edge products and services.
A man devoted to staying local and being a steward of the community, you can regularly find Brian talking to neighbors and local business owners-always with an eye to finding ways to connect, create shared value and a sense of belonging.
To learn more about how we support the community, be sure to check out our community giving page.
August 2011 marked the passing of Arne Haynes. He passed peacefully with his family by his side and the knowledge that his grandson would lead Rainier Connect into the next generation of technological growth. True to his word, "Dad often said, 'I was born in Eatonville and I will die in Eatonville.' As usual, Arne did what he said he would," recalls Skip Haynes.

James Beard event to be held at the Journeyman, will showcase...
[caption id="attachment_144241" align="alignright" width="389"] Tre Rivali at the Kimpton Journeyman Hotel[/caption] Ten chefs, including eight award-winning and nominated James Beard chefs from Milwaukee and Madison, will participate in the James Beard Celebrity Chef Tour event, which will be held on Wednesday, March 7, at Tre Rivali at the Kimpton Journeyman Hotel in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward neighborhood. Heather Terhune, executive chef for the Kimpton Journeyman Hotel, located at 310 E. Chicago St.-- and its two bar restaurants, Tre Rivali and The Outsider-- will host 110 attendees for the sold out event, featuring a cocktail hour at The Outsider rooftop bar and a nine-course dinner, with wine pairings, at Tre Rivali. Terhune has worked for San Fransisco-based Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants for the past 20 years and became head chef of its Milwaukee location when it opened in 2016. The event will feature current James Beard Award nominees Karen Belle, owner of Bavette la Boucherie in the Third Ward; Justin Carlisle, owner of Ardent and Red Light Ramen on the East Side; Dan Jacobs and Dan Van Rite, owners of Dandan and EsterEv in the Third Ward; Jonny Hunter, owner of Forequarter in Madison; and Tory Miller, owner of L'etoile in Madison, and a 2012 James Beard Award winner. Justin Aprahamian, owner of Sanford Restaurant, and a 2014 James Beard Award winner, and Gregory Leon, owner of Amilinda in East Town, will also participate. "Its really exciting to have all these awesome chefs and to be able to host them on our property," said Terhune. "This is the first time that the Celebrity Chef Tour has been hosted in Milwaukee and I'm hopeful that it's the first of many." Each chef will prepare one main course, focusing on either vegetables, meat, cheese, or fish. Terhune, who is the group's only pastry chef, will offer both a main course and a dessert course, she said. Tickets for the event ranged from $165 to $225. Celebrity Chef Tour events are held annually in over 20 cities across the U.S. and are open to the public. Pine Mountain, Ga., Napa, Calif., and Asheville, N.C. are among the cities that will host the tour in the upcoming months. The James Beard Foundation announced last month five Milwaukee-based chefs who have been chosen as 2018 James Beard Award semifinalists for Best Chef Midwest. In addition to Belle, Carlisle, Jacobs and Van Rite the nominees also include Thomas Hauck, owner of c.1880 in Walker's Point. Paul and Joe Bartolotta, owners of The Bartolotta Restaurants have also been nominated this year by the James Beard Foundation for Outstanding Restaurateur. Award finalists will be announced on March 14.

The dawn of a new year spells excitement for many. It is that time of the year when people are most resolute about their resolutions. It is when hopes are renewed and commitments strengthened. In spite of all the positivity that surrounds us in the early few weeks of the year, the energy begins to fade before we even know it and resolutions are easily forgotten about.
We make many new beginnings during our lifetime. A new year is just one of them. First job, moving cities, living alone, changing jobs and embracing new relationships – all facets of life are about new beginnings from time to time.
Personally I believe, new beginnings are essentially about new mindsets. It is about confronting our inner fears and taking a leap into the unknown. It is about faith that it is all going to be okay. It is about strength that no matter what happens, we'll stick to the course.
The circumstances that lead to new beginnings in life may sometimes be called for and sometimes not. But the way we take charge of our circumstances can define how we make the most of the new beginnings and more so, stay content & happy.
Now as we start our unique & personal journeys into 2015, here's wishing all of you strength in embracing everything new that comes your way. Don't forget to take charge and mold it the way you want you. Remember a mindset can make all the difference in transforming a beginning into a milestone in your life.

California Overturns Prop 8 and Takes a Huge Step Towards Equality and Gay Rights
ByTodd E
A federal appeals court on Tuesday overturned California's Proposition 8 ban on gay marriages, making California the seventh state to grant licenses to same-sex couples. It was ruled that the law violated the 14th Amendment equal-protection clause by treating a minority group unfairly for no reason.
This is very exciting news and a step in the right direction for the gay movement, as it could propel the contested issue to the U.S. Supreme Court as early as next year.
Furthermore, bigotry was defeated twice over as an appeals court refused to invalidate the ruling of Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker, who upheld the ballot measure and failed to disclose that he was in a long term same-sex partnership. Rather than using Judge Walker's sexuality as a scapegoat for unequal treatment, the ruling respected Walker's integrity for making an unbiased decision.
Theodore Olson, the prominent conservative lawyer working on overturning Proposition 8, ironically known for his work for Bush in Bush vs. Gore, said that the plan 'from the very beginning' was to be in the U.S. Supreme Court and have the federal government stop treating gay and lesbian men and women as second-class citizens. Although this is the hope, the decision specifically looked at a case unique to the state of California where they had already granted full legal rights to same-sex couples and then took them away; therefore the case may not be accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court, citing that there is no need to review due to its narrowness.
There is still more work to be done before the entire country can join a significant portion of their global peers such as South Africa, Canada, and Argentina in recognizing same-sex marriages, but the end could finally be in sight. Additionally, if a case were to go to the U.S. Supreme Court, it would put pressure on President Barack Obama to take a stronger stance on gay rights. Although he has been the most progressive president the United States has ever had on gay rights with the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell and choosing to not recognize the Defense of Marriage Act, he has not come out to support gay marriage outright and this could be the time for him to fully tap into the constituency with money to spare. The increased press coverage of gay marriage has already made it one of the leading issues in the presidential race, with Rick Perry's disgusting ad and an increasing number of millennials and citizens supporting same-sex unions.
While there is uncertainty of whether or not this will travel to the Supreme Court, adding one more state and continuing a charge towards equality is something to be celebrated.

What is a cyborg, and are you one already?
Over at The Atlantic, Tim Maly has summed up the dreams, anxieties and philosophical musings he collected last month though his 50cyborgs project that celebrated the coining of the term "cyborg" a half-century ago. He begins the article with a series of questions:
Because the word 'cyborg' is 50 years old, we wanted to have a party. We wanted to commemorate the longevity of a concept birthed in the heat of the space race, and schooled on the hard-knock playgrounds of science fiction and cultural theory. Cyborgs are a pretty big deal. They show up in our movies and books, our military R&D programs, our disability research, our dreams, and our arguments about who we are (and aren't). We wanted to invite all the cyborgs and have a big celebration.
Problems arose immediately. Who gets to come? The Six Million Dollar Man and Woman are cyborgs for sure. Probably Robocop and The Terminator too. Are Blade Runner's Replicants eligible? Does Iron Man get an invite? What about a person with a pacemaker? What about cochlear implants? What about hearing aids? What about glasses?
All that to say, what is a cyborg anyway?
Though the term was coined by engineers to describe how people would become technologically-augmented to survive in space, the many contributors to Maly's project (including yours truly) expanded and mutated the definition of cyborg to encompass everything from women taking birth control pills, to people transforming their healthy dinners into delicious deserts with head-mounted olfactometers that pump sugary scents right into the nose.
Maly explains, beautifully and entertainingly, where the term cyborg comes from and where it's going. If you've always wondered about the history of an idea that has transformed the direction of science fiction and science, this article is a must-read.
Check it out at The Atlantic.

It's well known that speech therapy helps children with speech and / or language challenges. We as Study Buddy have created the Study Buddy Speech Mirrors, which support children in performing exercises to increase speech language development.
The Study Buddy Speech Mirror is multifunctional and can be used in addition to exercises to improve motor skills of children.
The light weight of the Study Buddy Speech Mirror ensures that it is easy to move around. Because of the design with two separate parts the mirror is also very easy to store.
By adjusting the postion of the base the Study Buddy Speech Mirror can be positioned under 4 different angles. This enables children and supervisors to sit behind the mirror both individually or together in an optimal position.
What can the Study Buddy Speech Mirror be used for?
Children with speech-language challenges can use the Study Buddy Speech Mirror to perform exercises that stimulate the further development of the oral motor skills.
With the Study Buddy Speech Mirror, sensory-motor exercises can also be performed. For example; by spraying shaving foam or whipped cream on the mirror, children come into contact with sensory stimuli such as seeing, feeling and tasting.
The Study Buddy Speech Mirror can also help children to identify and recognize facial expressions and emotions. Especially at a younger age it is important for children to get a feeling for this.


I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody. The people who work here are unethical, liars, and rude.
My dad went to traffic school here a long time ago... we thought it was ok because they didn't make the students learn much... just sit around and bull around... because why would an old man want learn again?
Well, Little Saigon Traffic School (LSTS) does more than just traffic school... they also change your driver's license, registration, and all DMV info for you. I went to change my address from Los Angeles, CA to Westminster, CA for my driver's license card and registration. Well, they changed it and charged me $20.00, but it was incorrect. I went back to tell them that they changed my address incorrectly on both my driver's license and registration - they said that they never did this and only change driver's license information... and that they only charge $10.00, not $20.00. I told them that I know they charged me $20.00 because I paid cash and I changed it for my whole family (so it was really expensive), so I know the price that I paid. They laughed at me and said that I'm lying. So, I asked them, then if they only changed my driver's license information, then how did my registration got changed when I didn't go to a DMV or change my address elsewhere... they just got quiet and shook their head at me and said that they didn't change my registration information.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Nancy Mace 'Trash' in the GOP Conference
Posted: Nov 30, 2021 4:45 PM
Source: AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin
On Tuesday, Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) came after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) on Twitter, where she called her "trash in the GOP conference" and claimed that her "real gal pals" in Congress are the "jihad squad."
Mace fits right in on @CNN https://t.co/MjuGU52rC7
— Marjorie Taylor Greene ???? (@mtgreenee) November 30, 2021
Greene's comments came after Mace appeared in an interview with "CNN's Newsroom" where she condemned Rep. Lauren Boebert's (R-CO) comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). In the segment, Mace told CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins that she condemns colleagues for "racist tropes and remarks."
"I have time after time condemned my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for racist tropes and remarks that I find disgusting and this is no different than any others," Mace said in the interview. "As a member of Congress and seeing such division in our country, we all have a responsibility, both elected members of Congress on both sides of the aisle and the American people in our communities and at work in our communities and everything else to lower – we have a responsibility to lower the temperature and this does not do that."
Mace then noted that she was pleased that Boebert apologized for her comments.
"But you do condemn this comment from Congresswoman Boebert?" Collins pressed.
"Oh absolutely. 100 percent," Mace answered.
On Tuesday, Mace responded to Greene's tweet, stating "I'm a pro-life fiscal conservative" and "what I'm not is a religious bigot (or racist)."
*you're
And, while I'm correcting you, I'm a pro-life fiscal conservative who was attacked by the Left all weekend (as I often am) as I defied China while in Taiwan.
What I'm not is a religious bigot (or racist). You might want to try that over there in your little "league." https://t.co/nIbqjiJaFH
— Nancy Mace (@NancyMace) November 30, 2021
Greene fired back, stating that she just had a great conversation with former President Trump about Mace, to which Mace responded with "I like my freshman colleagues who don't think 9/11 was a hoax…"
I like my freshman colleagues who don't think 9/11 was a hoax…
This one on the other hand… totally ??! https://t.co/em1hBB5DXF
As I covered, over Thanksgiving, Boebert was captured on video telling supporters that she was recently in a Capitol elevator with Omar when a police officer approached. In the video, Boebert claims that she told the officer, "Well, she doesn't have a backpack. We should be fine."
Additionally, Boebert claimed that she turned to Omar in the elevator and said "oh look, the jihad squad decided to show up for work today."
Shortly after, Omar responded on Twitter, calling Boebert a "buffoon" and claiming that the encounter never happened. Omar added that Boebert "looks down when she sees me at the Capitol."
Boebert issued an apology on Twitter and reached out to Omar's office to speak with her directly. On Monday, the two congresswomen spoke in a tense phone conversation, which Omar said in a statement was "unproductive."
In an Instagram post, Boebert said that Omar was displeased with her apology and said she wanted a public apology. Boebert then said she told Omar she should make a public apology to the American people for her "anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-police rhetoric." During the exchange, Omar hung up on Boebert.
"Rejecting an apology and hanging up on someone is part of cancel culture 101, a pillar of the Democratic party," Boebert said in the video.
In the midst of Boebert and Omar's back-and-forth on Twitter, Greene had chimed in, tweeting "Never apologize to Islamic terrorist sympathizers, communists, or those who fund murder with our tax dollars. @IlhanMN [Ilhan Omar] and the Jihad Squad are all three and are undeserving of an apology."
