Why are populists winning online? Social media reinforces their anti-establishment message
TechTank
Clara Hendrickson and William A. Galston Friday, April 28, 2017
The Twitter habits of the president of the United States are well-documented and much-discussed. However, President Trump's fondness for social media is not unique — it is a feature he shares with his European populist counterparts.
Populists throughout the West were early adopters of social media and such platforms quickly became a favorite tool for political communication. Today, populists are the stars in political cyberspace, far outshining their centrist opponents. The 2015 Facebook posts of the United Kingdom Independence Party, the leading voice of the Brexit campaign, received 4,000 likes on average, twice the number received by the Conservative Party. While Dutch voters rejected the populist, anti-immigrant candidate Geert Wilders in its recent election, Wilders' social media following greatly outpaces that of other Dutch party leaders.

Similarly, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) boasts the largest social media following among German political parties. Despite the fact AfD receives half the support Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats receives, it possesses a Facebook following twice as large. Marine Le Pen's National Front is well-known for its digital prowess, with an office in Paris dedicated exclusively to managing the party's social media presence and aggressively launching online campaigns that include viral hashtags, memes, and animated videos. Le Pen's far left opponent in the first round of voting, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, demonstrated a similar social media preeminence. With a YouTube channel hosting some videos with over five million views and a Facebook following of over 900,000, Mélenchon fans took their enthusiasm to the web. An online community of his grassroots supporters even created a video game, Fiscal Kombat, where players took on the oligarchy by chasing after rich men and redistributing their wealth.
Members of European Parliament belonging to the anti-EU group Europe of Nations and Freedom have their tweets shared 28 times on average compared to the six shares enjoyed by MEPs from mainstream parties. This trend is mirrored by the far left. European Parliament's European United Left-Nordic Green Left holds just over 4 percent of seats in parliament but makes up nearly 30 percent of MEPs twitter followers.
Restoring popular sovereignty
The support enjoyed by populists in the digital democracy raises questions about whether social media plays a key role in strengthening the present-day populist threat to liberal democracy.
A recent report on populists' use of social media from Paul-Jasper Dittrich of the Jacques Delors Institut asks "how important is a larger 'buzz' on social networks, and could it potentially become a game changer in elections?" Despite all the evidence that populists dominate social media spaces, Dittrich deems the idea that this translates into electoral victories "far-fetched." Rather than looking to social media as an explanation for rising populism, the more interesting question for inquiry is why the features of social media lend themselves especially well to the promulgation of populist messages and figures.
How should social media platforms combat misinformation and hate speech?

The educational rift in the 2016 election
William A. Galston and Clara Hendrickson
According to Dutch political scientist Cas Mudde, populism is best understood as a "thin-centered" ideology that views politics as a battle between the "corrupt" elite and "pure" people and posits that populists alone can legitimately represent "the people." Populism and social media make good companions because platforms like Twitter and Facebook allow for direct communication between party leaders and their constituencies. This accords with populist calls to restore popular sovereignty, fulfilling the most basic promise of democracy, rule by the people.
Unlike traditional news media, there are no gatekeepers in social media who fact check information or help the public make sense of political events. Additionally, social media challenges the meritocratic values of traditional media – on Twitter, pundits and experts do not enjoy an elevated platform. This characteristic of social media reinforces populists' anti-establishment ideology.
Visceral reaction
Social media is particularly conducive to the emotional appeals embraced by populists. Candidates attract many supporters by responding viscerally to feelings of injustice and anxiety, a political approach readily employed in the wake of terrorist attacks. Mebel Berezin, a Cornell University sociologist studying the European far right, notes that the common line urging voters not to give into fear often loses out to a populist message that validates fear. Populists consistently experience surges in social media following and engagement after specific news events, especially terrorist attacks. This suggests that populists turn to social media following major national tragedies to identify enemies to the nation and make calls for swift action. Most centrist politicians are wary of doing the same, favoring deliberate messaging that seeks to assuage a frightened nation while upholding multicultural and religious tolerance. Evidently, a populist narrative translates well into short tweets and posts that reinforce the tendencies of some and spark feelings of outrage in others.

An international populism?
While not all populists are winning at the ballot box, a social media-driven internationalist populism gives all proponents of liberal democracy reason to pause. Though populists promise a return to national sovereignty, their social media following is notably international. Between 20 and 30 percent of the likes on populist parties' social media posts come from outside the party's country (for Marine Le Pen, 40 percent of her likes originate outside France). There even exist online forums to aid the international populist wave. Using a shared document entitled "Make Europe Great Again," French Le Pen supporters coordinate with American Trump supporters to create fake social media accounts and storm comment sections with pro-National Front messages.
International support online for populism is not merely exercised by supporters, leaders themselves oftentimes display a digital solidarity with one another. On the night of the U.S. election, Geert Wilders tweeted,
Florida and Utah for @realDonaldTrump
The people are taking their country back.
So will we.
— Geert Wilders (@geertwilderspvv) November 9, 2016
And following the attack on French police this past Thursday, Trump tweeted,
Another terrorist attack in Paris. The people of France will not take much more of this. Will have a big effect on presidential election!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2017
(His past praise for Le Pen makes clear this tweet was embedded in a larger quest to amplify a pro-populist message.)
Although understanding the long-term ramifications of populists' social media use requires further research, if future studies discredit social media as an explanatory variable for the populist growth in recent years, it should not necessarily come as a relief to defenders of the liberal democratic order. Populists have an extensive history of pushing mainstream parties to adopt their positions and behavior. For example, many leaders across the political spectrum have been forced to concede to anti-immigrant stances and cultural protectionism as populists' issues gain the support of a vocal minority. The success of populists on social media even has The Economist urging the political center to take heed, calling on "centrist politicians… [to] stop twiddling their thumbs and get tweeting." However, history cautions against borrowing from the populist playbook. Given the symbiotic union between social media and populism, a centrist politics may find itself hard-pressed to compete. Just as social media strengthens the populist position, a centrist politics should find renewed vitality by elevating civic discourse and restoring faith in expertise both online and offline.

Q: Determine an element's custom CSS cursor hotspot coordinates from JavaScript When I attempt to get the full CSS cursor definition of an HTML element in JavaScript, it omits the hotspot (target pixel) coordinates for some reason and is resulting in my cursor resetting its hotspot to the top-left pixel of the cursor image (i.e. not a good thing).
Problem demonstrated in this JSFiddle.
Update: It appears to only be this way in some browsers, specifically (in my tests) Mac Chrome and Safari.
Update 2: Looks like this is actually fixed in the latest nightly build of WebKit (8536.26.17, 537+), so I guess there's no real answer required besides it's a bug, and has already been fixed.
For example:
var elem = document.createElement("div");
elem.style.cursor = "url('path/to/cursor') 9 9, auto";
console.log( elem.style.cursor );

Outputs:
url(path/to/cursor), auto

Is there any way to get those coordinates from the style once they've been set?? I tried window.getComputedStyle() but it has the same result.
This seems like a pretty major oversight to me. Is that information just lost and no longer retrievable?

A: As far as I can tell from looking at the CSS 2.1 Specification, the X and Y coordinates are not included:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/ui.html#cursor-props
Also, the Mozilla Developer Network lists the X,Y coordinates as "experimental."
If something isn't in the specification then you can expect browsers to have different, and sometimes conflicting, implementations of the property.

The Myriad Faces of Female War Reporting during the First World War
During the First World War, a considerable number of women from belligerent and neutral countries reported from all major theatres of war. Their reports could be read in major newspapers and magazines around the world. Different types of reporters were involved in the war's coverage. Some were officially accredited by the armed forces or obtained other official permits to visit the front. Others were unable to get near the front but still witnessed the fighting or reported on the impact of the war on soldiers and civilians. Moreover, nurses in field hospitals wrote about their experiences …

Very cold once again today before we warm things up a bit
Stocking Stuffers Gather in Ronceverte for Same-Named Tradition
by: David Horak
RONCEVERTE, W.Va (WVNS) — Ronceverte residents took the time this Christmas Eve (2017) at the Clifford Community and Recreation Center to gather around for some last-minute gifts – that is, stocking stuffers.
"It's been going on for so long," said Mike Campbell, Ronceverte Volunteer Fire Department chief. "Everyone's used to it. The fire department puts it all together, raises money, fundraising through donations (and) businesses."
"So long" equals approximately 80 years. In fact, local seniors experienced this themselves when they were kids.
"A lot of the old timers been here been coming since they were little," Campbell said. "They said back then, that's all they got. So it's just a good tradition for them."
The Ronceverte Volunteer Fire Department put together 1000 stockings filled with toys and edible goodies for children in their hometown. To them, the price tag does not matter for this long-standing tradition.
"We get a lot of kids that don't get much," Campbell said. "It's good to give them something to look forward to when they come down every year to get one."
With this community classic, it's the gift that literally keeps on giving.

Home Business Patanjali targets over Rs.10,000 cr turnover in 2016-17
Patanjali targets over Rs.10,000 cr turnover in 2016-17
Patanjali Ayurved is eyeing over Rs.10,000 crore turnover in 2016-17, more than doubling it from the Rs.5,000 crore in the last fiscal, yoga guru Ramdev, its founder, said in New Delhi on Tuesday (Apr 26).
"We are targeting to cross Rs.10,000 crore turnover in the current fiscal from Rs.5,000 crore in 2015-16," Ramdev told reporters at a press meet.
"The profit is minimal and would be around 8-10 percent," said managing director Acharya Balkrishna.
He also said the company will be investing Rs.1,000 crore this year in setting up five to six new processing units of its various products in different states.
"We will set up five to six processing units in Assam, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Out of these, four will be fully functional within this year," Balkrishna said.
"The water requirement by our processing units is very less, and the water can be recycled and used again. So our processing units in areas where there is water scarcity will be beneficial for farmers," he said.
Ramdev said they currently take 1,000 tonnes of agricultural produce like wheat, peas, carrot, etc. from farmers every day. "Our target is to increase it to 10,000 tonnes per day. Our amla and aloe vera produce is 500 tonnes per day, which we want to increase to 1,000 tonnes per day," he said.
The Ayurveda-based FMCG company that has been growing exponentially in the last four years, plans to foray into exports and e-commerce this year.
"E-commerce tie-ups with major players is on the cards this year. On the export front, we are expecting 5-10 percent revenues this year. We will be exporting honey and cosmetics to 10-12 countries, including US, Britain, Canada, African and Arab countries," Balkrishna said.
Patanjali will also be expanding into new consumer lines like dairy products, and even yoga clothing.
"Patanjali curd, cheese and other dairy products will soon be in the market," Ramdev said while Balkrishna added that clothing made of natural fibres like jute is also on the anvil.
On being asked about reports of Patanjali cutting into the market share of multinational FMCG companies, Ramdev said: "We have created our own market. We have not eaten into other companies' share."
"We are totally vegetarian," the yoga guru said, but added that Patanjali will overtake brands like Colgate, Nestle and Pantene in terms of sale this year. "Our products like 'dant kanti', 'kesh kanti' and ghee are doing very well. We rely on quality, purity and low prices. We will be able to compete with Unilever in another 1-2 year," he added.
Asked the reason how Patanjali Ayurved is managing to grow exponentially at a time when other FMCG companies are fighting for market share, Ramdev said: "We do not have paid brand ambassadors. Wrestler Sushil Kumar, who features in Patanjali's ghee add, did the advertisement for free. I am brand ambassador of the company for free."
Patnajali intends to have 4,000 distributors, 10,000 Patanjali stores and 100 mega stores in the country this year.
The company's plans also include investing Rs.150 crore for setting up of an ayurveda clinical laboratory for animal and human trials, Balkrishna said.
The 1,200 Patanjali clinics across the country will be linked to an online system to be able to collate the patient data effectively, which can be used for research, he said.
Another Rs.500 crore will be invested on research and improvement of the indigenous breeds of cows in the country, he said.
The company's bigger plans include foraying into the education sector with 500 schools and a university.

Tying a Knot to the Family!
"Tying a Knot" with your spouse is getting married into their family as well!
Institution of marriage has always resided on 4 pillars – Man, Woman, His Family and Her Family! As soon as you get married, a cloud starts accumulating over your head. The cloud of crowd; unnecessary, unwanted crowd! The crowd whose aim is to bog you with information about how things may go wrong in your marriage if you don't handle your respective spouse's family properly. I call it "The Half Information". The fixation of people in other's marriage, that too when they know nothing about being married, has led to many misconceptions about this joyous bond.
Interference! If it has to be summed up in one word – Interference fits the bill. Be it man's family or woman's, everybody will advise you to beware of the interference from respective spouse's family. "Don't let them make decisions for you!", "Don't say yes to everything they say!", "Keep distance" are few examples everyone of you must have heard before or after marriage. What everyone is trying to say is: DON'T LET ANYONE INTERFERE IN YOUR MARRIED LIFE!
Do they interfere? Or, are they being cognizant of your well being? There is a difference between the two and one must understand it before making any allegations. Think of it in this way – When you join a new school or a new job, don't your parents or seniors who have been through the same situation in their lives advise you? We let them interfere, rather we constantly seek for their interference as we know having a mentor will increase our chances of succeeding in life. But, when it comes to the institution of marriage, we become the professors and abhor any mentorship.
Have you ever possessed a very precious thing? Be it your first bicycle or a bike, everyone of us has at some stage of our life felt strong connect to something very endearing to us! What happens when someone else gets hold of our precious thing? It is very difficult to get disconnected. I remember I felt emotional when I sold a pair of recliners to a friend of mine. (I worked overtime to buy those recliners and was very fond of them). One day, we were partying at his place (after he had bought) and, not even for a second, I felt that the recliners now belong to him. Those were my recliners! They were with me for only 2 years.
Our spouses live with their families for a minimum of 26 years!!
Letting go of things close to you is difficult. Even if you ask the most cruel person on this planet, "Are your children dear to you?", the answer would be "YES!". Imagine, after taking care for an eternity, how will a parent feel when they have to let go of their children post marriage? Shattered, usually they are! But, the overjoy of seeing their little ones all dressed up in the wedding attire overcomes their pain. Momentary joy lets them forget everything but only in that moment! As soon as they go back to their home the next morning, they do realize the impact of the void created by the idea of sharing their children's love with another man/woman.
Parent-child affinity doesn't need any introduction! The purest form of love, if it exists, is parent to their child. We love them, fight with them, play with them, talk to them, don't talk to them, argue with them or be angry with them; it doesn't matter, they always love us! In fact, they feel that they own us, to a certain extent. Jerry Seinfeld once said, "Do hell with the world, I can make my own people", when he was doing a gig on how a man behaves after he takes his first child in his arms.
And it's true! Life of a parent just changes after having kids. They have to constantly take care of them … having a constant "filter: Children" applied in your life. Like how we are browsing Flipkart while looking for iPhone7, we apply a "filter: iPhone" to show only that product related to iPhone 7. Similarly, once a kid is born, a parent is interested only in things which are in welfare of their children.
This is how much over lives have been connected to our parents. This is how deeply they have invested in us. Most of the time, they fulfill each and every demand we make till the age of 26. And, they never complained. In fact, they loved it so much that they would ignore everything else. Believe it or not, we definitely become their life at some point in time during those 26 years.
Letting go of life is not easy and when your children have to settle in their own world post marriage, you are not even given an option but to let go… Suddenly, there will be another man/woman in their life who will be, if not more, equally important in your kid's life. No one will doubt your happiness, but, feeling of love being shared is something only a parent would understand.
Believe it or not, it's hard for any parent to have a switch in their head. A switch they can turn on/off easily when it comes to their children being a part of their life. When their child gets married, he/she is definitely busy in creating their world with respective spouse while equally focussing on various other factors of managing a family, but, a parent will always want to be in proximity to their children. At least for some time! Till the time they accept this reality that the legacy has been forwarded, the generation is ready to move ahead!
In a way, they are just introspecting their own life rather than interfering in our life. They just want to understand the void created in their life and how to fill that. And when nothing works, as they say "Time is the best medicine", time is what they are left with. They will want to adhere to the child. "This is my Child!", they will say. But, one day, they will make truce and let go. Let go when they are actually ready.
It's said the when you marry, you don't just marry your partner but, you get married to the whole family. One must always stick to this saying. I know it's not easy to greet someone you barely know as "Papa" and "Mummy", let alone to think of them as your parents. But, remember how we used to make friends in our early days? We didn't know our friends before we were friends, did we? We were recipients back then! We were open to receive as much as we had to give. Thus, we were able to make friends quickly.
When we get married, that's what we should do. We should be recipients, wanting to receive with an open mind. The family of our spouse will become our friend really quickly if we believe that we are married to them as well and are trying to bridge the gap. Be supportive of them, help them fulfill the void that has been created in their life, understand that they are not interfering and that they will be able to let go when they are ready.
The key is to understand the difference between interfering and introspection. While most of the parents introspect their own life, trying to find answers to the questions created by that void, post their children's marriage, most of the times it's mistaken with them being interfering in the couple's life! This confusion leads to unprecedented troubles which does more harm than good.
Are marriages really made in heaven and celebrated on earth?

The Google Photos And Drive Hybrid 'Backup And Sync' App Is Now Available For Macs And PCs
By Ali Salman
Jul 14, 2017 03:41 EDT
Google announced its Backup and Sync desktop app for Macs and PCs last month. The introduction of the app was brief, but what coined our interest was the fact that it would allow an individual to backup the entire computer. Now, Google's Backup and Sync is available to download for Macs and PCs. The platform is basically a combination of Google Photos and Drive - allowing you to store as much as an an entire computer on the cloud, if you have the storage for it though. More on this later on, for now, let's dive in to see what else does the platform has in store for users.
Google's Backup And Sync Is Now Available To Download For Mac and PC
As to begin with, Google's new platform allows you to sync selected folders or even the complete hard drives on PCs, USB devices, SD cards and more to Google Drive and Photos. This will allow the files to be accessible from any computer irrespective of the location of the device. According to Google. the Backup and Sync feature is meant for Gmail users and a more profound Drive File Stream for business oriented users is coming soon later this year.
Google Messages Could Stop Working on Numerous Android Devices
Backup and Sync is an app for Mac and PC that backs up files and photos safely in Google Drive and Google Photos, so they're no longer trapped on your computer and other devices. Just choose the folders you want to back up, and we'll take care of the rest.
The interface is pretty straight forward for regular users, allowing for a streamlined backup experience to the cloud. If you have already downloaded the Backup and Sync app your PC or Mac, you will see that the a small pane or toolbar makes it possible for users to track the progress of their backup. There are other notable additions as well, so do check it out.
As we have mentioned earlier, the platform is not intended for customers of G Suit and ultimately it will not work with those accounts. If you're willing to give Backup and Sync a go on a Mac, it is available from either Google Photos or Drive as well.
This is it for now, folks. What are your thoughts on Google's Backup and Sync app for Mac and PC? Do you think it is a neat idea to make an entire backup of your computer on the cloud? Share your views with us in the comments section below.

South Africa: Christian Group Petitions Courts to Challenge Halal Labeling
Ahlul Bayt News Agency) – The National Association and Coalition of Christian Groups along with Individuals for Practical Equality and Protection of Constitutional Rights have filed papers with the Pretoria High Court, asking the court to declare that the religious certification of food, which excluded the Christian faith, was unconstitutional.
The Christian coalition launched the application against the ministers of health and trade and industry, and the National Consumer Tribunal.
The group objects to the fact that a wide range of food products are religiously labelled, such as those carrying the Halaal, Hindu or Jewish signs, indicating the product is suitable for consumption by these groups. It says there should be alternative products available without these labels. The complaint mainly targets the halal labeling, since it represents thet the majority of religiously- labeled products in South Africa.
The United Ulama Council of South Africa, which represents a number of Halaal certifying bodies, is joining the legal proceedings to oppose the coalition's application.
The Jewish community, represented by a Johannesburg attorney, also indicated that it was launching an application to be joined, said M Lombaard, of Lombaard Attorneys, who is representing the coalition.
The United Ulama Council of SA said it was entering the legal battle because Halaal certification directly affected the Muslim consumer.
Rafiek Mohamed, a Muslim theologian, said in court papers that Muslims, Hindus and Jews had particular dietary laws. Since they required guidance on which food items were suitable for them a certification system had developed over the years.
None of the certifying bodies imposed their certifying process on suppliers. The application was premised on the untrue notion that these religious communities "forced" their values on other communities.
People who disapproved of the religious signs "can simply abstain from purchasing such a product".
Mohamed said there were many products without such labelling. But Lombaard said there were few alternative products, and that about 90 percent of the meat industry was Halaal.
The applicant is asking for a list of alternative products. The dairy and dried fruit industry will be asked for such a list, as well as the abattoirs in Gauteng which do not slaughter in terms of specific religious rules.

This is a major part of being a single parent. Learning to Co-Parent, wanting to Co-parent, and when the other parent wants no part in the "Co".
I have been dealing with this issue for quite some time now. I realized today, as I have grown that I didn't make things easy. Being negative in the beginning caused the father of my children to shut down completely. It truly doesn't help when their father wasn't big on communicating to begin with. It leaves me today in being hopeful. Perhaps when he sees that all I want is for him to be apart of his boys lives, and for us to actually TALK things will change. But what do you do if you are all in and the other party isn't?
Not only that, while I see my wrong in things, I also would like the other party to be aware of the damage caused.
If any of you are currently co-parenting, would you please share with me and others that are reading what has helped you in having a successful co-parenting relationship? I've searched online, and have not come across anything that resonates with me.
← My boy doesn't want to eat his dinner, so I tried a different approach…..
I'm a single mom and I do co-parent with my child father. If both parents want to co-parent that's great but if one don't want to it won't work. Continue to focus on your kids and yourself. Pray! Pray! And he will make a way. I know it get hard some times but keep the faith.
Pretty much. Sometimes I think there is an opening of improvement, but it's only a reminder of how much the other party isn't willing. Thank you for the encouragement. I appreciate it.

Fieldhouse Logs is a firm of traditional wood working craftsmen that provides customers with a full range of logs, firewood and wood carved furniture. All our logs have been produced using traditional wood working methods, and this includes our rigorous seasoning process. Taking place over a period of at least six months, this ensures that the moisture content (mc) of our seasoned logs falls below 20%, making them far better suited for fire burning applications.
Our controlled process takes place in our on-site warehouse where firewood is kept in warm and dry conditions for a considerable length of time – anything from 6 to 12 months. This process eliminates most of the moisture from the log and gives you properly seasoned firewood to suit your needs.
From our seasoned logs comes high quality kiln dried logs, each of which contains only a negligible amount of moisture. The logs are kiln dried in our own in-house facility and we follow our own quality control guidelines in order to ensure consistency across the board.
Kiln Dried Logs burn at much higher temperatures and generate more heat relative to each log. They are also lighted with ease and burn with great efficiency. Our kiln dried logs in Tow Law, Wolsingham and Crook give you a cleaner burn, which has benefits for your stove, minimizing the problem of residues.
Our kiln dried logs are perfect for a wide range of applications ranging from making open fires to be used in wood-burning stoves and are available for sale throughout Wolsingham and surrounding areas.
We also supply and distribute a variety quality kindling and trimmings to our customers, which are available for sale in bags of different volumes. Our kindling and firewood trimmings are supplied in special net bags that make it easy to carry and store.

A secondary school teacher has been suspended from his role at a Plymouth school, it is understood.
A well-placed source has confirmed that Devonport High School for Girls has suspended psychology teacher, Alan Hartley.
It is claimed that Mr Hartley has been involved in a dispute involving the exam board that the school uses for his specialist subject.
Devonport High School has said it cannot comment on the matter.
Plymouth schools rated 'outstanding' not inspected by Ofsted for ten years
A source said: "They've got a supply teacher in, parents haven't been told anything and neither have pupils.
"He was taken out of [the class] by senior management. He was seen being taken off the premises."
Mr Hartley's LinkedIn profile states that he has been a psychology teacher at the school since September 2014 and currently still works there.
Mum's anger after school says daughter's skirt is 'too short'
The Devonport High School for Girls website states that Mr Hartley has a BA Hons degree, a PGCE and an MA.

Hey Hey! Happy New Year everyone! For this week's recipe, I wanted to do something new and delicious. I've taken Grandma's famous enchiladas and put a healthy twist on them. This dish is low in calories and fat, but rich in protein! A great healthy main course for dinner or have one for lunch!
Chef Steve and I started by replacing traditional tortillas with a healthier whole wheat tortilla. These tortillas, made from whole grains are great for helping to prevent diabetes and for maintaining good heart health.
Next, we took my favorite corn salsa and mixed in some black beans. The humble black bean is a nutrition power house. These little guys are rich in fiber and protein, which are great for keeping the digestive tract healthy by helping to move food through the stomach to the large intestine. In addition, black beans can help regulate blood sugar and the fiber is great for heart health! Finally, black beans are rich in flavinoids and antioxidants, which studies have shown may help prevent some cancers.
Ok! So are you ready to try it? The recipe is below and if you have any questions, just shoot me an email at Gabby.Vasquez@CookingWithGabby.org. Also, be sure to comment below and share! I read all your comments and will respond ASAP. If you have any additions or notes, go on and throw them in the comment section as well.
We will be doing this recipe this week at our MentorUp class at Victoria Park in Carson. If you are in the area, stop by this Thursday from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm at 419 E 192nd St, Carson, CA 90746!
A tasty, healthy twist on grandma's home-made enchiladas!
1.	In a small bowl, mix all ingredients with a wire whisk.
1.	Start by separating all of your ingredients. Let's make sure everything is in it's place!
2.	Take out a large skillet and place it on the stove at medium heat. Sauté the onion, zucchini, green pepper and mushrooms in olive oil until crisp-tender, about 2 – 3 minutes.
3.	Next, add your garlic; cook 1 minute longer. NOTE: Always add garlic last to sautés because garlic cooks quickly and can BURN!
4.	Then, add the beans, corn, cilantro and Grandma's special taco seasoning. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
5.	Now that you've prepared your filling, it is time to roll your enchiladas! Spoon 1/2 cup (about 3 big spoonful's) of bean mixture down the center of each tortilla and top with a pinch of cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in a greased baking dish. Top with your enchilada sauce and cheese.
6.	Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.


What to do for your Tech this Summer: Upgrade Your OS!
Summer is a good time to relax, but it can also be a good time to evaluate your tech and consider improvements. One thing that is often overlooked, because we are too busy to take the time to do it, is upgrading your operating system. In a recent zdnet.com article, the author stressed that the mindset of "I'll wait till it's broken," no longer fits in an internet world. It used to be that you could wait a few years to upgrade your OS, but now it is a necessary task to do on a regular basis.
Whether you are an end-user, small business or large company, it is crucial to your device's efficiency to routinely upgrade both your OS and software. Routine upgrades should be part of the systems management within your organization. Just as smartphones need frequent upgrades, your computers and tablets need the same care.
Older unsupported operating systems, such as Windows XP, are especially vulnerable to internet threats, which could cripple your business. To make it easier, most upgrades are free ! So go ahead and take note of that notice to upgrade your OS and software. Then, relax!


Fully Remodeled Olympic Hills 5 Bedroom!
MUST SEE! 5 Bed 3 full Bath on nearly 1/4 acre lot. Completely renovated home with open floor plan. Kitchen has new Samsung appliance package & quartz countertops.

This is a great home to raise children in! The backyard is huge and fully fenced, and the house is within walking distance of two elementary schools (Olympic Hills and Pinehurst). French doors in the kitchen lead to a lovely hand crafted porch with a built in bench. There is a brick patio underneath. There are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and we just completed an extensive remodel of the entire house. There are 3 bedrooms (including the master) and 2 bathrooms upstairs. Downstairs, there are two more bedrooms and one full bathroom. We put a large soaking tub and LED light with a Bluetooth speaker for a master bathroom that is a relaxing oasis. The kitchen has new cabinets and quartz countertops. We installed all new Samsung "smart" appliances. You can plug usb cords into the kitchen outlets! Most lights in the house are LED smart lights that can be programmed. There is a laundry chute in the upstairs hallway bathroom, a very useful feature for families! The laundry room is downstairs by the back door. Also by the back door is a treat for your furry family members: a dog door (large enough for a pudgy labrador or a greyhound). There is all new flooring: carpet in the bedrooms and waterproof laminate flooring everywhere else. The house has been freshly painted inside and out. The house is energy efficient, with double pane windows and a tank-less water heater. This isn't just a house, it's a home and it has served us well for the past 20 years. We hope that the next owner is as happy here as we have been!

Howard G. Buffett Wants to End Hunger, One Chance at a Time
The son of one of the wealthiest men in the world is giving away $3 billion as fast as he can, in an effort to change farming and food.
By Bryan Walsh Oct. 24, 2013
Photo by: Peter Kramer/NBC/NBC NewsWire via Getty Images
Howard G. Buffet (right) and his father Warren are transforming philanthropy.
The title of Howard G. Buffett's new book Forty Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World derives from his experience as a farmer. Buffett is the son of the superinvestor Warren Buffet, and he's the CEO of a philanthropic foundation that bears his name. But he's also a lifelong farmer, one familiar with the saying that each farmer can expect to have 40 growing seasons in a lifetime, which means 40 opportunities to improve their harvest. And it's not just farmers who know there's a clock running on their efforts. "We all need to recognize that we only have a fixed amount of time to affect change," says Howard G. Buffett. "And that should drive a different mindset than if you think you have all the time in the world."
Or as Buffett's father Warren put it: "Another way of saying this is, 'don't save up sex for old age.'"
Forty Chances tells the story of HGB's—as the family calls him—globe-spanning adventures in philanthropy. And his goals are ambitious—he wants to invest more than $3 billion, in an effort to end global hunger and poverty for the world's nearly one billion impoverished people by 2045. He's decided to focus much of his effort on farming in the developing world, believing—rightly, I'd say—that the best way to deal with poverty is to change the lives of the hundreds of millions of subsistence farmers in the poorest nations on the planet. "It's a pretty well proven fact that nothing works better at bringing people out of poverty than investment in rural areas," says HGB. "You can't have success any other way."

For HGB, that's meant promoting a lesser-known cause, even in farming: soil conservation. Healthy soils are a prerequisite for productive farms, but 1.5 billion people—a fifth of the global population—live on degraded land, and in many parts of the world it's getting worse, the land sick and overused. "You have to fix the soil," he says. And that will mean reducing the sort of slash-and-burn agriculture that is still too common in much of the developing world. (Perhaps the worst soil erosion is in the desperately poor African nation of Madagascar, where satellite images show red soil bleeding into the Indian Ocean like a wound.) HGB also believes that land reform could be a major spur for soil conservation, with the idea that farmers who own their own land—too uncommon in much of the world—will raise crops with an eye toward the long-term health of the soil. "You need a much more market-based approach," he says.
He would like to see that balanced with foreign-aid reform—HGB notes that too often, experts want to make agriculture in developing nations look like farming in rich countries. "It's not going to happen like that," says HGB. "You need to take into account local differences, local culture." Forty Chances is divided up into 40 stories of HGB's time traveling the world as a farmer, photographer and philanthropist, with tales of VIPs like Eva Longoria and Tony Blair taking turns in the cockpit of HGB's combine. (Longoria handled it better.) But what's worth taking away from the book is HGB's insistence than philanthropy needs a radical reinvention—and that the best philanthropists will put themselves out of business, as soon as possible.

Home Australia Patricia Karvelas was kicked out of Question Time for showing 'too much skin'. Here's why
Australia Sharp Corners
Patricia Karvelas was kicked out of Question Time for showing 'too much skin'. Here's why
ABC Radio National presenter Patricia Karvelas was asked by an attendant to leave the press gallery during Question Time at Parliament House because she was showing "too much shoulder".
Ms Karvelas was wearing a white "half-sleeve" pantsuit, but a supervisor in the House of Representatives had deemed she was in breach of the dress standards, which dictate what MPs, their staff, members of the media and visitors to the public gallery can wear.
She shared an image of what she had been wearing on Twitter, while saying she thinks the Parliament House rules are "out of step with contemporary standards".
Here's the backstory.
Ms Karvelas was told she needed to 'cover up more'
After the widespread reaction to her original tweet, Ms Karvelas said in an interview with ABC News that she was shocked when she had been approached.
"The attendant came up to me; she was very polite," Ms Karvelas said.
"She said she was essentially executing orders of her supervisor, who said my clothes, what I'm wearing: too much shoulder.
"Basically, I needed to cover up more, I needed a jacket.
"I did contest it … I said it's not a singlet, it's actually half a sleeve and I do think it's in keeping with parliamentary standards.
"It's a pretty professional pantsuit to be honest — I quite like it.
"But she said that wasn't appropriate and I had to leave so I actually was marched out of Question Time."

Being a Catholic Hipster is all about an attitude—an attitude grounded in being part of a countercultural community of believers dedicated to something bigger than themselves in a world dominated by self-centeredness. It's about yearning to learn more about the faith by seeking out "Catholic cool"—overlooked saints, forgotten prayers and feast days, and traditional practices long set aside by mainstream believers. The Catholic Hipster podcaster Tommy Tighe will help readers rediscover everything awesome about the Catholic faith.
The Catholic Hipster started out in 2014 with a little bit of fun—the Catholic Hipster of the Year contest—on Tighe's blog. But Twitter is where—in all its 140-character glory—that Tighe's "The Catholic Hipster" movement really took root. That's where a group of cool and funky countercultural Catholics gather to swap one-liners, hilarious hipster memes, and all things authentically Catholic.
Tighe even met comedienne Jeannie Gaffigan, who wrote the foreword for The Catholic Hipster Handbook, on Twitter. She said what drew her to the feed was that Tighe was "an embarrassingly Catholic dude who knew he was embarrassingly Catholic and was not embarrassed by it" and that he was "not preachy or judgey or divisive." Catholic hipsters in a nutshell.
Tighe and a group of hipster friends—including Sarah Vabulas, Anna Mitchell, Fr. Kyle Schnippel, and Lisa M. Hendey—explore the beautiful weirdness of the Catholic Church and invite others along for the journey. They share their love for extraordinary saints, offer up obscure prayers, provide short reflections on something quirky and Catholic they've rediscovered, and dare readers to put their faith into action with some cool and challenging practices they can do on their own.
The Catholic Hipster Handbook will help readers realize the only way to go against what's normal and accepted in the culture is to be authentically Catholic.
"The Catholic Hipster Handbook is an alt-culture journey into the mysticism, joy, and general weirdness of some new, and some too-often-forgotten and unconventional Catholic practices of faith."
"Downright hilarious, painfully honest, and appropriately weird."
"The voices in The Catholic Hipster Handbook put Catholicism firmly in touch with our present world. The book speaks to the real need for a Church culture that is not only fully Catholic but also culturally authentic. It is also downright hilarious, painfully honest, and appropriately weird at times, too."
"Funny, provocative, and serious while not taking themselves too seriously."
"Tommy Tighe strikes gold with The Catholic Hipster Handbook. Funny, provocative, and serious while not taking themselves too seriously, you'll love the contributors for their delight in the Lord and their pursuit of the quirky joys hidden in a 2000-year history of devotion and prayers in the Catholic Church."
"All the things you expect a hipster book to be."
"Funny, informative, intriguing, creative and surprising . . . all the things you expect a hipster book to be."

If you look at the staff profiles on the Southport Grocery & Cafe website, owner Lisa Santos' profile stands out not just because it's the first one listed, but also because of her recognition that food and food experiences are intricately woven into people's daily lives. A former Slow Food Chicago board member, it's no surprise that Lisa runs her business by objectives that closely mirror our mission of good, clean and fair food for all. By supporting local farmers with a fresh + seasonal menu, giving an audience to the sweat equity of artisanal producers with their grocery, and preserving flavors of peak harvest to get you through the winter, Southport Grocery & Cafe is working hard to support and highlight the fruits of local laborers. Read on for more from Lisa about how they got started and why romaine beats kale as a popular and versatile leafy green.
What was the idea behind Southport Grocery & Cafe? How did you start?
We started preserving in 2009; the recession hit everyone and we needed to look at our expenses. We were shipping great preserves from California but the price plus shipping made the products expensive. We started preserving a handful of items that year and now do well over 75 from fruits preserves, pickles, condiments + soda syrups.
Planning! There is so much planning in this business; especially for preserving, what is available from the farms and when, staffing, new product testing, etc.
Well, I have two bests: one, coming up with something new that we are excited to share with our customers; and two, a great batch of preserves that started with the perfect fruit from a farm and the well balanced preservation process.
The hardest part of my job is the overall balancing act of food costs, labor costs, and competitive pricing.
The smoked fish plate available as a brunch option at Southport Grocery & Cafe in Lakeview.
A challenging obstacle can be the City itself. There are a lot of small moving parts to operate a business here!
How does Southport Grocery's work relate to the Slow Food objectives (good, clean, + fair food)?
Southport Grocery uses good, clean and fair food whenever we can. As a matter of fact, our preserves have won three Good Food Awards! I have to say, 'whenever we can' because we need to offer a competitive price to our customers in the end.
Favorite Chicago food related social media account to follow?
What do you think should be up next for trendiest food item - kale's successor?
I would like to see romaine be more on trend... it is chock full of nutrients and it is my favorite vegetable to grill! Grilling romaine adds dimension to any salad.
Avocado for sure... I love the creaminess!
A interior view of Southport Grocery & Cafe's dining and grocery options.
Chicago is a great city with a great food presence... we have been open for 13 years! It is amazing where Chicago has evolved to. And if not Chicago, NYC. I love that city... but I am pretty sure doing business there has even more moving parts!

Oregon Company Sues Counties for $2.5 Million After Hemp Seizure
An Oregon hemp business alleged in a complaint against two Oregon counties that over 5,000 pounds of legal hemp were taken from its warehouse and destroyed in a police search on April 22. The business claims the counties violated civil rights and due process saying although the police were advised the material was legal hemp and not marijuana, it was treated like marijuana.
Oregonized Hemp Co LLC, (OHC) represented by Matthew Hicks and Josephine County Legal Counsel, and its owner Justin Pits, represented by Day Law, filed the complaint against Josephine and Jackson Counties in Oregon and individuals working at the sheriff's departments. The plaintiffs say they were harmed in the amount of $2.5 million.
Industrial hemp is defined in federal and Oregon law, according to the court document, as a strain of Cannabis sativa, and includes all seeds or parts of the plant that have an average tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of less than 0.3 percent; a higher concentration is called marijuana. The two items are subject to different laws and regulations, marijuana is legal in Oregon but "highly regulated" and is federally illegal.
"Businesses such as OHC that grow, cultivate, harvest, process and sell industrial hemp do so knowing that all of their plant material (i.e. industrial hemp) must maintain a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration below 0.3 percent, otherwise said businesses (like OHC) could be in violation of state and federal law. Accordingly, OHC regularly tests its industrial hemp to insure its plant material is below the level of tetrahydrocannabinol concentration required by state and federal law," the complaint claims.
The complaint alleges that Oregonized Hemp Company had all the necessary licenses and registrations required by the Oregon Department of Agriculture to grow and process industrial hemp. In October 2019 the fire marshall for the city Grants Pass said the plaintiffs could not store hemp or "fibrous material" in the building in Grants Pass, giving them 30 days to move the hemp. They complied, moving it to a greenhouse leased by Panther Greenhouse.
Police executed a search warrant for the greenhouse location on April 22. The plaintiffs allege that the warrant was "facially invalid." The warrant authorized the seizure of marijuana, including processed marijuana, marijuana plants, and concentrate oils, as well as items related to their possession, manufacture, or delivery. It did not, according to the complaint, authorize the seizure of industrial hemp.
"Defendants, and in particular Josephine County, hold particular animosity towards Plaintiffs, and over the years have engaged in a pattern and practice of unequal treatment intended to harass and intimidate Plaintiffs, and in particular Pitts," the complaint alleged. They say the raid was intentional and was "for the purpose of exercising dominion." The plaintiffs claimed their rights to due process were violated, and they were not given notice or an opportunity to defend themselves.

Reduce the wager cost of all Maneuvers by one. If a Maneuver costs 2 wagers, make it 1. If it costs 4, make it 3. Minimum 1 wager per Maneuver.
you da man John. Thanks for listening.
"One may know how to gain a victory, and know not how to use it."
Should this be added to the Q&A? Also, is it possible that this thread and the errata thread are merged and stickeyed (or both stickeyed)?
For future reference: Which printing will this be fixed in, so people with the new books will know that they don't have to lower their Wagers? Is it fixed in the PDF as of now? Thanks!
I ask because I bought the PDF a couple weeks ago, and I'm wondering if I should errata the numbers or not.
Dodge used to cost 4 Wagers. Now it costs 3. This should allow you to figure out whether your book is "old" or "new".
shite, I thought the new cubicle 7 printing had the errata in. Got my copy today, and it doesn't. That was the reason I bought the book. Should've done my research.
But the text of Dodge was left completely untouched, and it still says "...It costs 4 wagers: more than any other Manuever..."
Anyway, the problem is fixed, so I'm happy.

Habitat: Fair Thee Well—Visits With Artists in Their Studios Before Independent New York
Artists are famously ambivalent about showing up at art fairs. John Baldessari once likened the experience to that of a kid walking in on his parents having sex. But showing one's art at them is de rigeur. Fairs—evolved from bazaars stocked with secondary-market material to, now, meccas for the new—are an integral part of the art ecosystem. In recent years, some have sprung up that try to improve on the trade fair model. Independent, founded by Elizabeth Dee and Darren Flook in New York in 2010 and since expanded to Brussels, is one such fair. A "curated" event, it is clubbier and more intimate than most art fairs—booths tend to blur and blend together, and the art leans toward the cool and critically lauded. This year's hometown edition, at Spring Studios in lower Manhattan in March, features some 45 international galleries and institutions. In its ideal state, as identified by co-director Alix Dana, "Independent incentivizes the creation of ambitious projects by encouraging artists and galleries to take risks." For this installment of Habitat, ARTnews visited the studios of New York artists—all of them in Brooklyn—making new work for the fair.
At her studio in an industrial stretch of Greenpoint, Nikki Maloof evoked the notion of a tranquil sanctuary in multi-paneled works. "I wanted paintings to create an environment," she said of the art to be shown by Jack Hanley Gallery. "The idea of a moth-infested porch seemed like the perfect fit." Among the inspirations for her choice of format: Northern Renaissance altarpieces and Japanese screens.

Children's rights are human rights
30 March 2021 | Story Dikgapane Makgetha | Photo Supplied
Social Work students at the UFS are working with the relevant stakeholders in an Engaged Teaching and Learning service-learning project to promote and respect children's rights.
The protection of children's rights is the principal achievement on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 Agenda. Emphasis has always been on the promotion and respect of children's rights. Since the SDGs are grounded in a child rights-based approach, the University of the Free State (UFS) Social Work students – by engaging in a multi-disciplinary methodology – involve all the relevant stakeholders in their Engaged Teaching and Learning service-learning module project.
The social partners, which included the South African Police Service (Child Protection Unit), the Department of Social Development, the Department of Home Affairs, the Department of Health, faith-based organisations, and other children's advocacy agents, were involved from inception until the apex launch of the project.
Access to basic human rights
In their exit level, fourth-year Social Work students participate in community work practicums, which incorporates the theoretical development process in adherence to the objectives of their community work. The initial phase of the project involved the situation analysis exercise, which the students implemented through collaboration with the Rekgonne Primary School action committee.
The outcome of the survey indicated that some learners were exposed to physical and sexual abuse. It was also found that they did not have access to basic human rights such as education, health care, and social grants due to the absence of the required legal documents. From the interactive discussions that took place during the launch, it emerged that some children do not have birth certificates required for school registration and access to social grants.
Through the students' community project, a platform was created where important skills and information could be shared among all important role players (who are in different professions and guardians of children's human rights). It is believed that since learners are spending more hours in school, educators would be the primary detectors to notice signs of negligence and potentially adverse circumstances among their learners.
Role players collaborate to make a difference
Through the scholarship of engagement, students succeeded in engaging with the community to attend to societal challenges (violated children's rights). In order to realise the outcome of the project, continuous collaboration among all role players must be sustained. All parties adopted a resolution to create safe environments both at school and at home by supporting families and caregivers.
Government partners that participated were determined to strengthen protection systems and improve child welfare, reinforcing the implementation of the Children's Act 38 of 2005. Educators were empowered and supported in the mandate of the Quality Learning and Teaching Campaign (QLTC). This is an initiative that involves stakeholders in improving the quality of education for all children and addresses issues of safety and well-being for all children.

Weekly arts and therapy sessions at Measham Medical Unit receives grant of almost £3,000
The donation has come from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust
Beth PriddingTrainee Reporter
A medical unit in North West Leicestershire is to carry on with its weekly arts and therapy sessions for people with mental health problems - following a cash boost of nearly £3,000.
Measham Medical Unit's Patient Participation Group has been given £2,974 by the Coalfields Regeneration Trust to cover the costs of first aid training for volunteers, marketing costs, craft materials and venue hire.
Phillip King, chairman of the Patient Participation Group, said: "The funding received from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust is crucial to what we do. Without this money, we simply couldn't afford to deliver the sessions and that would leave a very vulnerable group with limited support.

"We know that our work has a positive impact and we would like to take this opportunity to thank the Coalfields for recognising the value in what we offer our service users."
Andy Lock, head of operations for the Coalfields Regeneration Trust, said: "The funding provided will ensure those with mental health difficulties are able to seek the help and support that they so desperately need.
Shoppers can secure much needed funding for local charities thanks to co-operative stores
"Mental health difficulties are all too common in Coalfield communities and working with groups like the Measham Medical Unit's Patient Participation Group is crucial in order to combat these ongoing health issues."
The Coalfields Regeneration Trust was set up in 1999 to support former mining towns and villages. The group's community investment programme supports organisations and programmes of activity which meet with three key criteria; to address skills, employment or health.
