Officials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are seeking physicians to test electronic health record software originally developed by the Department of Veterans Affairs and adapted for use in physicians' offices.
CMS is releasing a test version of the software—called VistA-Office—in an effort to assess its effectiveness, usability, and potential for interoperability in small physician practices, the agency announced late last month.
"The release of an evaluation version of VistA-Office will provide a testing laboratory for interoperability and will supplement efforts by the American Health Information Community to establish a certification criteria and process," CMS Administrator Mark B. McClellan, M.D., Ph.D., said in a statement.
The goal is to refine the software based on the results of the test period and develop a version of the VistA-Office electronic health record (EHR) that could be certified under a process recognized by the Department of Health and Human Services.
The VistA-Office EHR was adapted from the hospital information system that is used by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA information system is used at 1,300 sites nationwide and has been in use for more than 20 years.
The test version of the software includes core functions such as clinical order entry, standard progress note templates, and results reporting. It also includes features designed specifically for physician offices including interfaces to existing practice management and billing systems, quality measure reporting capabilities, clinical reminders for disease management, and templates for ob.gyn. and pediatric care.
The VistA-Office test software will not be free. The first-year costs (cost of software, licensing fees, and support) are estimated to be about $2,740 for a group of 1–7 users, according to a CMS spokesman, who added that practices are likely to incur added office staff costs associated with implementing the EHR.
Health information technology experts welcomed the testing of a new office-based EHR product, but cautioned that not all physician practices are suited to becoming a beta-test site.
"It's good for physicians to have more choices," said Mark Leavitt, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology, a voluntary, private-sector initiative to certify health information technology products.
But Dr. Leavitt warned that participating in a beta test isn't for everyone. Generally in such a test, practices are not supposed to rely on the new software, so physicians would have to run the test software parallel with their paper systems. That extra step can cost the practice in terms of time and money, he said.
"A beta test definitely stresses the office," he said.
The best candidates for a beta test are physicians who are technically savvy and who have the extra time and interest to devote to the project, Dr. Leavitt said.
Physicians should carefully review the VistA-Office product before volunteering to test it and not just choose it because it is less expensive than some other options on the market, said Joe Heyman, M.D., secretary of the board of trustees of the American Medical Association and a gynecologist in solo practice in Amesbury, Mass.
As with any other EHR, it's important for physicians to survey their own office and work flow, he said.

PM asks people to vote for change in Assam
My fight is not against Gogoi but against poverty, unemployment and underdevelopment, says Modi
Assam is now a "diseased State" and Congress must be uprooted to overcome it, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today asking the electorate to vote for change in the April assembly polls.
"It has already been decided by the people of Assam to vote for BJP, but make sure that the work is not half done.
Please ensure that you bring the party to power with two-thirds majority so that the BJP government can work whole-heartedly to make Assam a leading state in the country," Modi said addressing two election rallies in Upper Assam's Bihpuria and Bokakhat constituencies.
The presence of women in large numbers in the meetings are a clear indication that days of the Congress government in the State were over and it "does not stand a chance in the coming elections," he said.
"Deep injustice"
The State was represented by the former prime minister (Manmohan Singh) for 10 years but now its people have to be reminded that they were represented by a former PM, he said.
"A deep injustice has been done to the people of Assam and their aspirations crushed. The youth of Assam has tremendous potential and they are a deprived lot. It is time to correct these wrongdoings," he added.
Modi said he has the single agenda of ensuring all-round development of the state and it was time to free it from the politics of vote banks and the coming assembly elections in the State was the biggest opportunity for the people of the State to bring about change and development.
The Prime Minister said he was surprised at Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi's statement that his fight is against him. "How can I fight him (Gogoi)? He is so senior to me and in a few years he will be 90. He is an elder, I respect him and seek his blessings."
"My fight is not against Gogoi but against poverty, unemployment, underdevelopment and supersitition," he said.

'Don't ever leave': A native New Yorker reflects on four decades in NYC
New York native and Gothamist founder Jake Dobkin dispenses advice in his new book, 'Ask a Native New Yorker'
By Nathan Kensinger May 23, 2019, 7:57am EDT
Photography by Nathan Kensinger
Jake Dobkin is a third generation New Yorker who lives in the same Park Slope brownstone he grew up in, just around the corner from his elementary school and his favorite childhood pizza joint. He went to high school and college in Manhattan, and as he likes to tell it, in his 42 years, he has never been away from the city for longer than 10 weeks. When he dies, he wants to have his ashes scattered on the Gowanus Canal, which is four blocks away from his home.
Though he has spent most of his life in a relatively small geographic area in Brooklyn, Dobkin is deeply familiar with all five boroughs of New York City. In his work as a documentary photographer, and as the co-founder and publisher of Gothamist, he has visited some of the most obscure corners of the city, sharing the stories of anonymous graffiti artists, endangered historic buildings, and unique neighborhoods. All of these life experiences and contradictions inform his first book, Ask a Native New Yorker, which was published in March.
During a recent walk around his childhood stomping grounds, including a visit to some of the historic buildings on the Gowanus that he and I photographed together a decade earlier, Dobkin reflected on how living in a constantly changing city led to his book.
"Scratch the surface of today's New York, and you'll see the heart and soul of the city remains in all its diversity, excitement, and challenges," Dobkin writes. "New York actually gets better as you grow old."
Searching for New York City's lost soul
Infinite upon infinite: New York City in maps
How Criminals Use the City
The idea for Ask a Native New Yorker goes back to 2013, as a series of sarcastic columns written by Dobkin for Gothamist. The earliest posts included humorous responses to questions like "Is It Normal For Roaches To Crawl Through My Hair At Night?" (answer: "Ask yourself what your hair is doing gentrifying his neighborhood") and "When Am I A Real New Yorker?" (answer: "Call your mom in Philly and tell her you're coming home"). Over the years, though, Dobkin's columns evolved to become more thoughtful, reflecting a personal change in the author.
"I didn't feel like being sarcastic carries you that far. It works in small doses," Dobkin says. "If you want to say anything substantial about anything—and the city is a substantial topic—you must eventually be somewhat thoughtful, otherwise, what are you communicating?"
For the book version of Ask A Native New Yorker, Dobkin wrote entirely new responses to 48 questions, offering up deeply considered guidance that will be helpful to newcomers to the city. The questions he addresses range from where to live and work, how to find dates and raise children, and practical topics like whether it's okay to urinate in the streets and whether to wash your hands after taking the subway. The chapters are relatively devoid of sarcasm, offering instead a positive and compassionate consideration of the many challenges that come with living in the city, somehow finding the silver lining in overcrowded subways, sidewalk grifters, real estate brokers, gentrifiers, and bedbugs.
Overall, Ask A Native New Yorker feels like a sometimes exasperated love letter to New York, which the author describes as "the greatest and most complex city this planet has ever produced." His lifelong dedication to the city is apparent on every page. "There is no place more challenging and exhilarating to live … spend five years here, and you will you will discover things about yourself and about humankind that many people outside New York don't learn in a lifetime," writes Dobkin. "There is the feeling of awe knowing that the streets you are walking down are the very places where so much of American culture was born: hip-hop, graffiti, photography, virtually all the best American novels, poems, and plays."
A recurrent theme throughout the book is that life in New York involves intense suffering, loss, and sacrifice, but that these challenges are coupled with numerous rewards, including a deeper understanding of self. Dobkin traces this philosophy back to his recent studies of Buddhist and Stoic texts, and interweaves his personal history into the book's practical advice.
"Most of the people I know would not like to live in the New York that I grew up around, which was dangerous, which was chaotic, which was dirty," says Dobkin, reflecting on his childhood in the 1980s and '90s, when crime rates throughout the city were much higher. "It is funny in retrospect, but we had knives pulled on us, we had guns pulled on us. And some of the wisdom I think I have comes from suffering through those days."

In the past four decades, Dobkin has lived through several different eras of New York history, which has led to a firm belief that change is the only constant in the city. "The true native New York perspective is that New York is constantly changing. In one lifetime, the city is completely recreated, to the point where the city that you grew up in, and were born in, is almost completely erased," Dobkin told me during a conversation at Pino's La Forchetta, the pizzeria of his childhood. "And you could see that as a terrible thing to worry about, but then you are going to be a very unhappy person, because it's a fact of life that will never, ever stop."
After the tumultuous decades of his childhood, and in the aftermath of 9/11, Dobkin began documenting the city as it entered into an era of rapid transformation, during the decade-long reign of Mayor Michael Bloomberg. In 2002, Dobkin began publishing his photographic work at a photoblog called Bluejake, amassing a collection of thousands of images from changing neighborhoods around the city. In 2003, he began publishing Gothamist, a website dedicated to the minutiae of city life. And in 2005, he started Streetsy, a collection of photographs of the ephemeral world of graffiti and street art.
It was during this era of the city's history that I first met Dobkin, and from 2007 to 2010 we traveled across all five boroughs of the city to photograph endangered historic landmarks like the Domino Sugar Refinery in Williamsburg and the Samuel R. Smith Infirmary in Staten Island. Most of the buildings that we photographed in those years have since been demolished, to make way for a new landscape of residential towers built along the coastline of the city.
After the birth of his first child in 2009, Dobkin began to step away from his photography projects, and entered into a period of self-reflection, which eventually led to Ask a Native New Yorker. "When I was younger, I was just immature and self involved.… Having kids calms you down a little bit," says Dobkin. "It gives you a different view of the city, and much more sympathy for all people, because parenting is so hard."
The book version of Ask a Native New Yorker was written during another period of upheaval, one that also greatly reshaped the landscape of New York media. While working on its chapters, Dobkin sold Gothamist to Joe Ricketts, the billionaire owner of hyperlocal news outlet DNAinfo. This ill-fated decision was soon followed by both Gothamist and DNAinfo being shut down after a majority of both companies' employees voted to unionize. In the aftermath, Dobkin was widely criticized in the press for his role in the sale and shutdown (which one former reporter characterized as "textbook union-busting stuff" to The New Yorker). Gothamist has since been resuscitated in a partnership with WNYC. (DNAInfo was not part of that partnership.)
As Dobkin makes clear in the final pages of Ask A Native New Yorker, the challenges of this self-described "fiasco" helped to shape the reflective tone of his book. "Sooner or later, if you live here long enough, you're going to have one of these years—when your job or personal life or health lurches into a seemingly uncontrollable, fiery tailspin, and I hope you will be as comforted by New York City as I have been," writes Dobkin in the concluding paragraph of the book. "It's a hard city, sometimes, but it's worth it. Don't ever leave."
Dobkin grew up on this quiet, tree-lined street in Park Slope. After living in other parts of the city for 19 years, he returned here five years ago. He now lives in his childhood home with his wife, children, and parents. "When I was growing up in Park Slope, it was a much more normal-class place," says Dobkin, who remembers there being only a handful of businesses in the neighborhood. Over the past 40 years, the neighborhood has been completely transformed, with property values skyrocketing and hundreds of businesses now lining its streets.
Dobkin's elementary school, P.S. 321, is just around the corner from his home, in a neighborhood now filled with children. "I've asked my kids, and so far they want to stay in New York. It's nice—they see this as a special place," says Dobkin. "I love the idea of raising more native New Yorkers, and that somebody could be a fourth generation."
Across the street from P.S. 321 is Pino's La Forchetta pizzeria, a local landmark that opened in 1962, and which has served generations of Park Slope kids. In Dobkin's childhood, he remembers it being one of the only restaurants in the neighborhood.
The Community Bookstore, which opened in 1971, is another local landmark. "This was the only bookstore we had," says Dobkin, who had never visited the Strand Bookstore in Manhattan until 2018. "When I first saw my book here, I felt like, 'Ah, I've arrived.'"
A few blocks from the Community Bookstore is the Carroll Street Bridge on the Gowanus Canal, one of Dobkin's favorite haunts as a teenager. "This place was like three blocks from where I grew up, and I didn't know about it until I was in high school. It had a magical kind of reality to me," says Dobkin. Today, a new residential tower has completely changed the landscape next to the bridge, but Dobkin recalls that when he was growing up, "it was all abandoned factories, and a few coffee roasters, and sewage and dead bodies."
Raw sewage and oil slicks still pollute the waters of the Gowanus, although a Superfund cleanup is now underway here, after centuries of neglect. "I look around and I still see a lot that hasn't transformed," says Dobkin.
But this part of the Gowanus may soon be transformed, with the city planning a rezoning project that will build residential towers all along the banks of the toxic canal. "From Dutch New Amsterdam to today, each generation has transformed the city, leaving it vastly different by their grandchildren's time," writes Dobkin. "The city is like a phoenix, always burning down and rising from its ashes."
South of the Carroll Street Bridge, a few vestiges of the old Gowanus still remain, including a last pocket of graffiti. "Talk about lost urban fabrics," says Dobkin. "It's only for the documentarians that we even have any idea of what graffiti used to be."
Another historic remnant along the canal here is the Central Power Station of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, aka The Batcave. Built in 1896, the building has remained in a ruinous condition for most of Dobkin's life. It is now being renovated by owner Joshua Rechnitz, and redesigned by Herzog & de Meuron, to become the Powerhouse Arts center.
In the early 2000's, the Batcave was a notorious squat and graffiti mecca, and during his years as a photoblogger, Dobkin visited its interior to document its graffiti and architecture. "To get inside, we had to jump three fences, and climb to the second story. It was a hassle," says Dobkin, seen here in 2007, inside the Batcave. "When we did our work there, the roof was gone, and it was going to collapse."
"There are people who are angry that this is no longer an aging ruin that they found beautiful. It offends them that there is any change at all," says Dobkin. "If this can be turned into anything good for the neighborhood, or for the city at large that can be productive, whether it's artists spaces, housing, or really anything other than a giant decaying wreck, that's a plus for the city that we should all get behind."
The author, photographing demolished warehouses along the Gowanus in 2009. Despite having spent so much time documenting the area, Dobkin is surprisingly unsympathetic towards the idea of preserving most of the industrial landscape here. "Of all the factories and industrial buildings, I can only think of five that are architecturally significant and historically significant enough to save," says Dobkin. "I don't feel romantic about 1960s warehouses that are just being used to store stuff."
However, Dobkin is highly critical of the plans to build more residential towers on the banks of the Gowanus, especially as sea levels continue to rise. "I don't love this idea of building all rich rental apartments in a flood zone. That does not strike me as being particularly good policy," says Dobkin. "If it was me, I would make a park for at least a block on both sides, because we need the absorption."
"I actually think that it will be pretty interesting to live here in 100 years," says Dobkin, reflecting on how New York City will be affected by climate change and sea level rise. "Does New York have a future three generations from now? Because I've been here three generations, and I think that it does. I am actually more optimistic than most people."

SNP 'slashed' nearly £50m from flagship broadband scheme
The SNP slashed almost £50 million from their digital infrastructure budget despite promising to deliver super-fast broadband for all by the end of this year.
A written response received by the Scottish Conservatives shows that funding dropped from £66.2m in 2017-18 to just £27.1m the following year, and then was reduced again to £18 million in 2019-20.
The revelation comes as the SNP have now officially "failed miserably" to deliver on their flagship R100 scheme. The delivery of the Northern part of the programme is now not expected to be completed until 2027.
Shadow Rural Affairs Secretary Rachael Hamilton says it is "astonishing" that SNP ministers decided it was appropriate to cut funding at a time when rural communities were expecting to finally enjoy broadband speeds that were fit for purpose.
She added that it was typical of the SNP to ignore the needs of rural communities, who are now going to be left behind in the pandemic recovery due to poor connectivity.
Scottish Conservative Shadow Rural Affairs Secretary Rachael Hamilton MSP, said: "It is astonishing that the SNP were slashing funding on digital infrastructure at this time. They never tired of talking up their flagship R100 scheme, but they clearly weren't prepared to back up their words with the investment needed.
"It's now official that they have failed miserably to deliver on their promise to provide super-fast broadband for all by the end of 2021. Yet again, they are leaving rural communities behind having promised big but under-delivered.
"It is little wonder many rural communities are going to be waiting years for better connectivity with the SNP slashing almost £50 million from their digital infrastructure budget in the space of just a few years.
"Ministers are now trying to make up for lost time, but that is of little comfort to people in rural and remote areas who are desperate to be connected. The SNP's misguided spending priorities means the recovery in areas like the one I represent is going to take even longer."

Google lists California Republicans as 'Nazis,' blames Wikipedia 'vandals'
Published time: 1 Jun, 2018 02:03 Edited time: 1 Jun, 2018 07:33

Google admitted to an over-reliance on public sources to shield itself from accusations of political bias, after its automated algorithm listed 'Nazism' among the California Republican Party's ideologies, triggering a scandal.
A search for 'California Republican Party' on Google as late as Thursday morning listed "Nazism" as one of the party's political ideologies in the 'knowledge panel' box, which popped up in the query alongside "Conservatism," "Market liberalism," "Fiscal conservatism," and "Green conservatism." The reference to Nazi ideology, which was responsible for millions of deaths under the reign of Adolf Hitler, sparked outrage from the Republicans, who are gearing up to hold primary elections in California next week.

While the reference, spotted by political strategist Eric Wilson and Vice News, was since removed, Republicans lashed out against the "slander" of conservatives by the California-based company.
Google, however, brushed aside criticism, claiming that its algorithms are totally unbiased and rely on public information sources such as Wikipedia. The Mountain View company blamed the misunderstanding on "vandalism," and stressed that it was not the result of any "manual" manipulation by Google staff.
"Sometimes people vandalize public information sources, like Wikipedia, which can impact the information that appears in search," a Google spokesperson said in a statement. "We have systems in place that catch vandalism before it impacts search results, but occasionally errors get through, and that's what happened here."

The revision history in Wikipedia for the California Republican Party indeed shows that the word 'Nazism' was added to the article last week and removed several days later. The word 'authoritarianism' also graced the page on Thursday.
The scandal trended under the #StopTheBias hashtag, a Republican-led initiative designed to stop alleged prejudice against the party by technology firms. Earlier this week, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) accused companies like Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter of trying to censor out conservative Christian voices.
"This is a disgrace," McCarthy tweeted Thursday. "Sadly, this is just the latest incident in a disturbing trend to slander conservatives. These damaging actions must be held to account."

"Google owes conservatives answers and assurances that they are putting an end to this," the chair of the Republican National Committee added. "Evidence is mounting that conservative voices are either being suppressed or, as it appears in this case, being falsely depicted as hateful extremists."

"It is libelous and Wikipedia and Google should take more ownership of what is published on their sites, since both companies just said 5 million Californians support Nazism," Cynthia Bryant, executive director of the California Republican Party, told Vice News. "It is unfortunate, but is unlikely to affect the election because anyone with common sense knows we don't support Nazism."

The eldest child of the 45th president, Donald Trump Jr, also spoke out against Google, calling it yet another "disgusting" example of bias against conservatives.
More bias against conservatives. This one from @google is even more disgusting than @instagram putting up a note that those searching a # of my name "could cause harm and even lead to death". So much for free thought or speech!

I came across this scrumptious, tangy, mouth watering fruit called Averrhoa Bilimbi. The fruit is very crunchy when unripe and it turns from bright-green to yellowish-green, when it is ripe.
One can eat them raw by applying salt and spice after cutting, just like raw mango (kacchi kairi).
I preferred making Bilimbi chi Sheer i.e lemon green in color delicious tangy and sweet curry.
Chop Bilimbi fruit in circular rings and cook it in pressure cooker for 10 mins along with jeera, turmeric and onion.
Now mix the above mentioned cooked ingredients with coconut milk and rice flour. If you are using coconut pack then dilute the milk with some water.
Once the mixture boils put some salt and sugar till it dissolves completely.
Do not over boil the Sheer since the coconut milk tends to curdle.
You can garnish with coriander before serving.
Bilimbi chi sheer along with hot steamed rice is definitely a delicacy in the month of Shravan!!

At Home with Vitra at Home
by LamontPaul, for outsideleft.com
originally published: December, 2004
the more humane home office
Featuring furniture and home accessories, the Vitra at Home collection debuts in the US in January, 2005. The catalog offers exciting new designs from the likes of the Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec and Jasper Morrison, alongside refocused classics that we love so well, from Eames, Nelson (Pill Desk Clock on the left - original 1954), Panton, Noguchi and others. Ahh, I hear you say, if only we 'owned' so well.../p>
Company chairman, Rolf Fehlbaum, drew upon Vitra's near mythological history when defining the new design direction. "Vitra at Home, reminds us of our beginnings." He said. The company was founded in 1950 by Fehlbaum's furniture maker father, Willi. and achieved prominence upon licensing those famous Eames' and Nelson designs from Herman Miller for manufacture and distribution in Europe in the late 1950s and 1960s.
From there, Vitra's evolution saw it become an innovator in office and contract furniture.
"For many years I have wanted to see Vitra more active in the residential field. Now the time has come to make this strategic move." Fehlbaum said recently.
Many of those original designs were universal in their appeal in the sense that they worked both in the home or office.
As he envisions the future of Vitra at Home, Rolf Fehlbaum recognizes in new social norms antecedents dating far further back than the 1950s of the original Eames and Nelson designs.
Twig, the perfect room divider.
"A medieval town house was not just a family home," Rolf says, "it was also a manufacturing place, a shop, a place where relatives and business partners would stay when they were in town." With the industrial revolution came the separation of work from home. Home became a refuge. It's not difficult to see the burgeoning cult of the home office and the free to telecommute 24/7 world as belonging to the Dark Age. Who'd have guessed writing this over a wireless network at 3am would be so medieval? All credit to Rolf for recognizing that. The boundaries everywhere, are gone. The home, the former refuge, is now more often a live/work space and has traversed a full medieval circle. If it's true and we're stuck with it, then Vitra at Home maybe our only saving grace.
Jean Prouv?©, Bahut storage unit reissue (1950).
Offering what Rolf terms the 'collage approach' to the interior., and sounding to me like a perfectly composed eclectic mash up of confluencing color, textiles and texture. Vitra makes no bones about drawing on its undeniably iconic history. Its got it and they know it. But with Jasper, Ronan and Erwan, Vitra is hitting all the right new spots too. The introduction of Vitra at Home is one of the first things to feel really good about going into 2005.
By the way, since the boundaries are gone, maybe I should add that if this all sounds to you like Target marketing minus the reasonable price tag - (after all, Philippe Starck has been found in both catalogs). it's true to say that Vitra at Home offers delights for all sizes of pocketbook. That is a good thing because the last time I brought something home from 5001 on 2nd Street, I had to call the captain of the outsideleft little league team to tell them they'd need to get a new sponsor.

Hi there, thanks for the tips. One question, what if the remote desktop connection is made from a Windows machine? By using this windows user still need to run pulseaudio client at windows side, right?
This entry is dealing with a different audio situation: allowing a second account on a single machine to play audio.
You're asking about allowing audio to play from one machine to another. This is possible in Linux, although I've never tried it.
I would look to RDP to forward audio from Windows to Linux.

Dust Bowl – okres (lata 1931–1938), w którym dziewiętnaście stanów na obszarze Wielkich Równin w Stanach Zjednoczonych zostało dotkniętych katastrofą ekologiczną, będącą skutkiem suszy i silnej erozji gleb. Została ona spowodowana wieloletnią suszą i intensywną eksploatacją rolniczą gruntów.

Przez dziesiątki lat Wielkie Równiny były zbyt zachłannie eksploatowane rolniczo. Nie stosowano płodozmianu, nie pozwalano areałom odpocząć, stosując w zamian coraz głębszą orkę i intensywne wypasanie bydła. Po latach, trawy porastające dawniej prerie i zatrzymujące wilgoć po opadach zostały wykorzenione, a wierzchnia warstwa gleby wystawiona na erozję.

W latach Wielkiego Kryzysu katastrofa ekonomiczna w USA zbiegła się z katastrofalną suszą w stanach zachodu i środkowego zachodu, która trwała przez większość dekady. To ułatwiało powstawanie bezwodnych burz pyłowych zwanych "dusterami". "Brudne lata trzydzieste" (ang. Dirty Thirties) zaczęły się latem 1931 roku. Gnane wiatrem czarne chmury niosły tumany pyłu. W roku 1932 przez Wielkie Równiny przeszło 14 "dusterów", w 1933 roku już 38. Do roku 1934 ponad 100 milionów hektarów straciło wierzchnią, żyzną warstwę gruntów. Rolnicy zaczęli zapadać na pylicę, wielu udusiło się.

Apogeum nastąpiło w "Czarną Niedzielę" 14 kwietnia 1935 roku. Wielka chmura ruszyła z szybkością 100 km/h z Oklahomy docierając do Kanady i wybrzeża Atlantyku. Pozbawieni domów i ziemi rolnicy ruszyli w poszukiwaniu pracy, dołączając do tych, których dotknął kryzys ekonomiczny. Dopiero wtedy podjęły działania władze federalne. Kongres przegłosował ustawę o ochronie ziemi i wprowadził programy szkoleniowe dla rolników.

W roku 1938 zaczęły się intensywne opady deszczów, które zakończyły okres "dusterów".

Tło
W 1862 roku, rok po rozpoczęciu wojny secesyjnej, Kongres Stanów Zjednoczonych uchwalił Ustawę o Gospodarstwach Rolnych (ang. Homestead Act), która przyznawała każdemu obywatelowi USA lub osobie, która przyjęła amerykańskie obywatelstwo, 160 akrów (około 65 hektarów) niezamieszkanych ziem, które należały do państwa, a uprzednio zostały odebrane Indianom. Efektem tego prawa jak i późniejszych Kinkaid Act i Enlarged Homestead Act było zajęcie pól uprawnych Wielkich Równin przez osoby niedoświadczone w rolnictwie.

Do końca I Wojny Światowej tereny te były głównie wykorzystywane do hodowli i wypasu bydła. Zakończenie wojny zmieniło ten stan rzeczy. W celu uzupełnienia ogromnych braków, spowodowanych działaniami wojennymi, miliony akrów zostało zaoranych pod uprawę pszenicy. Nie wzięto pod uwagę dalekosiężnych skutków tak drastycznego przeobrażenia terenu, które w przypadku suszy mogło zaowocować katastrofą ekologiczną. W następnej dekadzie, ze względu na złą gospodarkę środowiskową oraz mniejszą niż zazwyczaj ilość opadów atmosferycznych doszło do katastrofy.

Dust Bowl
11 listopada 1933 roku potężna burza piaskowa siała spustoszenie na ziemiach Południowej Dakoty niszcząc glebę aż do poziomu próchniczego. Była to jedna z kilku burz piaskowych, które nawiedziły obszar Wielkich Równin w 1933 roku. 9 maja 1934 roku rozpoczęła się dwudniowa, jedna z najpotężniejszych burz piaskowych okresu Dust Bowl. Ogromne obszary gleby Wielkich Równin zostały obdarte z warstw, aż do próchnicy. Ważąca 5500 ton chmura pyłu skierowała się w kierunku Chicago. Dwa dni później chmura dotarła do kolejnych miast. Były to Cleveland, Buffalo, Boston, Nowy Jork i Waszyngton. Najbliższej zimy na obszar ten, tj. na obszar Nowej Anglii, spadł czerwony śnieg.

Kerry to assist Russia 3 times more than Bush does?
World » Americas
US Democratic Party claims that it will pursue the policy recognizing "the importance of Russia" if it wins the coming presidential elections.
This is a promise from the election program of the Democrats. The program was unanimously approved by the Democratic Party Convention in Boston on July 27.
There are only two paragraphs оn Russia in the program. One paragraph is in the chapter about preventing terrorists from obtaining weapons of mass destruction. "Democrats will pursue the policy towards Russia which will recognize the importance of this country. This policy will promote the key interests of the USA in the sphere of security linked with Russia's historic transformation – starting with mutual work on guarding nuclear arsenals and materials", states the document. According to it, such materials and weapons in Russia are "vulnerable".
The Democrats say that "the Berlin wall fell more than 10 years ago, but Russia still possesses about 20,000 nuclear warheads and materials sufficient to create 50,000 nuclear bombs". The authors of the program wrote that the international programs on improving the regime of storing these weapons and materials have not been completed and "the world still relies on the measures undertaken by Russia itself". "If we move with today's tempo, it will take us 13 years to safeguard the nuclear materials of the former USSR. We will do this in 4 years".
The program mentions the issue of Democratic reforms in Russia as well. "We are stating again that observing human rights, law-abiding, new-born democratic institutions and independent media are integral part of Russia's integration in international structures and global economy", says the US Democratic Party.


How amazing … we got to Week 6… and wasn't this week fun! Learning the bump back feather is a nice technique and and I think if you have some success with this type of feather, you can practise it over and over, challenge yourself to create it in different shapes, understand the value of seeing how other people tackle feathers in strange shapes (by seeing quilts at shows, or on social media and Pinterest) and ultimately it will give you the confidence you need to try other methods of creating feathers.
The sew up for this week is below. However, I just wanted to say a few things about this challenge.
I developed this challenge to keep my home sewing ladies engaged with sewing over the school summer holidays because for family reasons I wouldn't be able to teach or hold my normal summer BBQ for the GillyMac Crew (an often raucous affair that Brian stays well away from). In the ridiculous heat of the early summer, I filmed the doodles and started sewing them up. I did worry if people would be interested.
The Challenge has given me hours of pleasure. The best thing has been the community YOU have created around the Challenge and the encouragement YOU have given each other. I have roared with laughter at the photos of Jupiter (Lindy's cat), Billie (Carolyn's friend's horse) and Terry (Sue's dog) all getting in on the action and thrilled that so many people doodled across Europe on holiday as well as being part of the core challenge. Unbelievably the videos have had >5000 views and this is still increasing.
One of you asked me why I did this for free. Well, I did it to try out delivering information by video (thanks for putting up with my learning steps) and I wanted to see if I could build a community. I hope that if you have enjoyed this, you will naturally tell others or share posts.
Keep practising the doodles as we will use them in the October Fiesta 🙂 ….
Only one week left and it is a good time to reflect on what you have learnt through the challenge before you forget it, and before we have some creative fun with feathers.
To start with you need to give each doodle a name – you can make your own up (or you can use my names – downloadable below) and then my suggestion is that you use this grid (also downloadable below). The grid has two axes. One is 'how much you like the doodle' and the other is 'how hard it was'.
In the example below I have added in my (pretend) thoughts …So … I found doodles 1. 3. 5. 6. 7. 10. 11. and 12. EASY to Doodle and I LIKED them. I found doodles 4. 8. 9. 13. 14. 19. 20. and 25 HARD to doodle but I LIKED them. I found doodles 2.15. 16. 21 and 22 EASY to Doodle but I DISLIKED them and I found Doodles 17. 18. 23 and 24 HARD to Doodle and I DISLIKED them. I hope that from this example you can see how you can map your likes/dislikes and how tricky you found the doodles onto this grid. Now you can put your doodles numbers where they fit for you. Everyone's grid will be different as we all liked different doodles and found specific ones harder than others.
From here it is really easy to make of plan of what to do next !! The chart below shows you what you need to do.
Some doodles you can just forget (bottom left) … others you should actively use now on your sewing to get them nailed in your free motion repertoire (top right), others you can continue to doodle until you find them easier (bottom right) and then there are some in the top left box that you may find a use for in the future so keep them on the back burner.
You may find that in 6 months time the place you have put the doodles in now has changed. So this is something you may want to revisit.
For now – here is the Sew Up for this week… My Ullswater Steamer Ferry … I hope you enjoy it … Next week – Feathers …. and also on Saturday (1st September), along with the final Sew Up, I will be announcing how you can get your GillyMac Doodle Challenge Pin and confirming the dates for what is next for those of you who have doodled with me this Summer – to qualify you to need have doodled for at least two weeks of the six weeks.
Well done team !!! We are at Week 4 with two more to do. This week's borders seemed to be welcomed as easier across the board – with a lot of love for the loops on Monday and my 'lie-detector' (too much 'Homeland') on Thursday. The sewing up this week reflects that these are border patters, or at least can be used in a linear fashion. I really like quilting borders. I think it means I am closer to the 'Ta Dah' moment of quilt completion … and also, typically, quilting the borders is easier because they are more accessible.
So this week I have sewn up the doodles in rows, as I see you using them. Below you will find two videos and a downloadable document.
The first one is the video you are now used to with me sewing up our doodles. You can choose how large each of your border rows will be. I started in the middle with the stars row and found something to draw around (baked beans tins are very useful) and then worked my row sizes out from there.
The next video is information to help you plan for doodling and sewing up corners.
Then there is a downloadable PDF document which goes with this second video to help you plan your corners.
Next week we're moving back to 'all over' doodle patterns which culminate in a picture to sew which is great fun. Then in Week 6, I will teach you how to doodle 'bump-back 'feathers and I know you will all love the sew up for that final week.
A heartfelt thank you to all who are taking part in this challenge. Below is the video of the doodles being sewn up. At the moment the most important thing is that you get secure in your doodles and if you want to practice them on the sewing machine, just 'have a go' with no expectations. I am sewing them on my sit down long arm, but only because it makes the videoing easier. Everything I do can just as easily be done on a normal sewing machine.
To sew the doodles up I used a wadding sandwich with a 14″ square drawn in it – which I filled with my doodles. I made my square a little larger however a 12″ drawn square will be a better size for a book if that is your intention for the squares later :-). If you want to copy this, then the picture below will show you the designs I chose. The numbers in the drawing related to the doodle day patterns I used in each section – so a label of '3' means that I used the doodle from Day 3. The little boxes which are hanging from the tree are for the Day 5 Doodle.
The other picture shows you the Glide and Fantastico threads I used. Any eagle-eyed person will notice the red (for the apples) isn't in the picture, but it was also Fantastico.
I have speeded up certain areas of the video so as not to bore you or be very repetitive.

Q: Using C# can I make an SSL connection using Server Name Indication (SNI)? I currently have this code that makes an SSL connection to a server:
using (client = new TcpClient())
{

    client.Connect(Hostname, Port);
    var callback = new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(ValidateServerCertificate);

    using (stream = new SslStream(client.GetStream(), false, callback))
    {
        stream.AuthenticateAsClient(Hostname);
    }
}

However, I don't think it supports SNI because the wrong certificate is being returned from the SNI configured server. Is there anyway to make the SSL connection using SNI?
I am using .NET 2 (willing to upgrade if necessary). I am using Windows 7, but would like the software to work on other platforms such as Windows 2008 if possible.

A: So to conclude it seems as if the answer is: No, there is no way that you can make the TLS connection use SNI :-(
I couldn't find any C# example code making a TLS connection with SNI. Theoretically though, it should be possible to create that manually, i.e. as per How to implement Server Name Indication (SNI)
however, an attempt over here failed: TLS SNI with C#

A: The answer seems to be "yes", as there is a C# implementation that does support SNI.  This bug report mentions the version of mono that supports HTTPS requests with SNI.

A: We were faced similar issue trying to connect to business API using mutual SSL. Standard .NET libraries do not work. You can use third-party library http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/ as one of the possible solutions.
libcurl is a free and easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, Gopher, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMTP, SMTPS, Telnet and TFTP. libcurl supports SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Digest, NTLM, Negotiate, Kerberos), file transfer resume, http proxy tunneling and more.
.NET library can be uploaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/libcurl-net/
When you upload it change libcurl.dll to the latest version you can find (it should be 7.18.1 or newer). In current libcurl-nel package it is older than is needed.

A: I know this is an older post, but I recently needed the same thing. I have an application in C# that I used to dynamically create websites in C#. I needed the site's bindings to set the "server name indication" flag when created, because we are trying to use multiple SSL sites on the same IP address.
As it turns out, you CAN now do this in C#. There is a flag option you can pass that will turn on the SNI option. I hope this helps anyone that has this problem. Here is an example:

// Create site using server manager
ServerManager sm = new ServerManager();
Site mySite =  sm.Sites.Add("example.com", "C:\Test Website\", 443);

// Creating binding object to store SSL cert
var ibind = mySite.Bindings.CreateElement();
ibind.Protocol = "https";
ibind.BindingInformation = "*:443:" + domain;
ibind.CertificateHash = certificate.GetCertHash();

// This option will turn on SNI (server name indication)
ibind.SetAttributeValue("sslFlags", 1);

// Add the binding to the site
mySite.Bindings.Add(ibind);

The cobblestone streets of Old Montreal are lined with historical landmarks, some of which date back to the early seventeenth-century French settlement of Ville-Marie. But these clues to the area's evolution, from a fur trading post, to a metropolitan hub remain largely unmarked. In an effort to share the hidden histories of these sites for the city's 375th anniversary, Montreal en Histoires, a non-governmental organization that commemorates local heritage, developed Cité Mémoire. The multimedia project features a free mobile application that directs users to over fifty points of interest throughout Montreal's oldest neighbourhood. The application engages innovative technologies, cinematic scripts, and dramatic storytelling to reveal lesser known historical figures and locations. Twenty video projections linked to the application animate façades throughout Old Montreal, providing a dynamic interface for residents and visitors alike to not only witness, but emotionally connect with, the city's past.
By displaying little-known stories about local figures, these films humanize the past and create an affinity for the city spaces where they are projected.
Cité Mémoire presents a diversity of historical narratives—from Montreal's unsettling and often overlooked history of slavery, to its rich religious and cultural heritage. One projected tableau recounts the tragic story of Marie-Josèphe Angélique, a slave accused of setting a house on fire in Old Montreal and unjustly sentenced to death. Another shows the arrival of a train filled with Jewish orphans escaping the the Holocaust, hopeful for adoption by local families. Another still, depicts baseball legend, Jackie Robinson, who played for the Montreal Royals and became the first African American to desegregate Major League Baseball. By displaying little known stories about local figures, these films humanize the past and create an affinity for the city spaces where they are projected. Michel Lumieux, one of the artists who directed the project, explains, "We wanted to go into poetry and evocation. We wanted to create emotion…There is something of a movie in these tableaux — but the screen is the city".1 It is the emotional response Cité Mémoire elicits that creates a more accessible and memorable Old Montreal. But how can this process be documented?
As a newcomer to Montreal, I was intrigued by the interactive approach to history promoted by Cité Mémoire. I recruited two study participants, also new the the city, to record our experiences. Using mental maps (subjective diagrams), formal interviews, and informal discussions, we mapped our views of the neighbourhood over time.
Before use of the application, participants focused on singular aspects of the neighbourhood. Their preliminary maps were schematic and centred around famous monuments. After application use, however, participants showed greater connection to the city. Streets appeared well-navigated and emotional reactions correlated with suggested points of interest. The application's virtual map of Old Montreal encourages users to pursue individualized discovery of the neighbourhood, turning iconic landmarks, like the Old Port and Place d'Armes, into guide markers between lesser-known destinations. As historian Dolores Hayden suggests, urban spaces are given meaning when their connection to a city's history is recognized in ways other than traditional renovation projects and museum exhibits.2 Thus, the stories told through each tableau inscribe social meaning on the historic landscape of Old Montreal. The Cité Mémoire application renegotiates the relationship between visitors, residents, and the city — it encourage users to not only immerse themselves in the past, but to feel something while doing it.

No Need to Pick Bottoms or Tops
Focus: STRATEGIES
Thomas Aspray
, Professional Trader & Analyst
Though many traders and investors are fixated on picking a market bottom or a market top, understanding and identifying a specific type of chart pattern can provide many excellent profit opportunities.
Continuation patterns are probably best seen as interruptions or pauses in either an uptrend or downtrend. Of course, the first step is to identify a change in trend, and if it is a major trend change, you could expect to see a series of continuation patterns that form over months, if not years.
While many look for the major bottom or top before initiating a trade or investment, I have found that often times, the best trading opportunities in terms of both risk and reward are found by identifying continuation patterns. Many of these formations occur in the shape of triangles, while others have a rectangular shape.
One of the most exciting markets to trade over the past few years has been gold, and during this time, the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) has become one of the largest and most popular ETFs. During GLD's rise from near $40 in 2005 to over $185 in 2011, there have been many good entry points for willing buyers.
In examining both the weekly and daily patterns, these interruptions in the major trend have all had shapes that are typical of continuation patterns. A good example of this occurred in late 2009 and early 2010.
GLD had risen from a low of $88.82 in July 2009 to a high in early December of $119.54, where the fund reversed to the downside. On the weekly chart, the entire continuation pattern took the shape of a flag, lines 1 and 2. Flag formations can take many shapes, but the most simple can be broken into three components, as illustrated on the daily chart.
The first is a decline from the high (wave a) that was followed by a rally (wave b) that typically will stop below the 61.8% retracement resistance of wave a. This is followed by another decline (wave c) that will generally drop well below the low of wave a, stopping out anyone who bought too soon.
In our GLD example above, you can see that this final wave of selling took GLD below its 50% retracement support of the rally from the July lows but stopped before reaching the 61.8% support level at $100.65.
GLD gapped through the downtrend, line 3, on February 16, completing the flag formation. The rally quickly stalled when GLD pulled back to $106.60 before moving up to test the stronger resistance in the $112 area. The ensuing decline dropped GLD to $106.24, which was above the 50% retracement support of the rally from the correction lows.
As discussed previously (see "Using Fibonacci to Trade Flag Patterns"), you can determine targets by calculating the 127.2% retracement target of the flag formation. This gives you a target of $124.50, which was met in September 2010.
These examples of continuation patterns should help you become better able to recognize them as they are forming.
Article Continues on Page 2
As we are all aware, the Nasdaq 100 topped in the spring of 2000 and underwent a severe decline that lasted for over two years. The charts above show the Powershares QQQ Trust (QQQ), which tracks the Nasdaq 100, from both a weekly and daily perspective.
The weekly chart shows a falling wedge formation (lines A and B) that was completed in November 2002 when the downtrend (line A) was broken.
On the daily chart, more details are revealed that would help the trader confirm that this was indeed a falling wedge formation. As the fund made lower lows (line D), volume decreased, as evidenced by comparing the levels at points 2 and 3. This is consistent with a market or stock that is becoming sold out, meaning there are few or no sellers left. The pattern is also visible on the weekly chart, as indicated by line 1.
The breakthrough of the daily downtrend (line C) occurred in the $23.50 area, while the weekly downtrend was broken later and higher at about $25.25 per share. The fund reached its first objective in the $29 area quickly as late buyers hurried to jump on board.
This is a common trend because many times, traders will miss a breakout and not wait for the pullback. While waiting, many become fearful of being left without a position (or are just plain impatient) and so they jump in, only to have their position go immediately against them.
In this instance, which is not unusual, the market gave back almost all of its gains from the breakout, making a series of lower highs and lower lows. After the first rebound from the initial peak, the chartist would be able to establish the downtrend, line E. By the middle of January 2003, the lower support line could also be drawn (line F), which creates a flag formation (highlighted in red).
A flag formation is created by two lines, one of which is a downtrend or uptrend line, while the other is a support line. These lines can be either parallel or converging; however, both are defined by their marked difference in slope from the previous trend, which creates a flagpole of sorts. Flag formations within an uptrend are called "bull flags," while flag formations in a downtrend are called "bear flags."
These are just two types of triangle formations that are considered to be continuation patterns. It is important to note that as the market continued to move lower, volume decreased, indicating that even at lower prices, there were fewer sellers. On the breakout through resistance at line E, which completed the flag formation, volume was heavy (see point 4). As is often the case, the market pulled back and retested the former downtrend (line E) before turning higher once more. This provided an excellent buying opportunity.
NEXT: Study Past Set-Ups in a Popular Energy ETF
Many of the energy stocks bottomed between mid-2002 and mid-2003, and this was also true for the iShares Dow Jones Energy Sector ETF (IYE). It formed a two-year falling wedge formation on the weekly chart, lines A and B, which was completed in June 2003 when the downtrend was overcome.
The former downtrend (resistance) was tested in September 2003 as part of the triangle formation (box 1). In fact, on the weekly chart, three distinct continuation patterns are identified (boxes 1, 2, and 3) and will be discussed in more detail using the daily charts.
I have shown this chart primarily to illustrate how in a very strong market, you will be able to identify many pauses in the uptrend that can be identified as continuation patterns. These pauses can provide many excellent trading opportunities regardless of whether you are a short- or intermediate-term trader.
On the daily chart above, the falling wedge formation was completed in May 2003 with the close above $42.43. IYE quickly ran up to the $46 level before undergoing a classic correction. I call it that because on two instances, once in July and the other in early August, the former downtrend (blue line) was retested.
The second test is identified by the green circle labeled "E," and the low was used to draw the support line (line D). It is also important to note that this correction held above the support in the $40 area (dashed line) that was formed during February and March of 2003.
During September and October 2003, IYE made several attempts to overcome the resistance in the $44.50-$44.80 area, but was unsuccessful each time. This formed the second point of resistance (line C), which completed the flag formation (lines C and D).
This formation interrupts a previous trend and reaches completion once the resistance (in a bull market) or support (in a bear market) is overcome. The uptrend was tested twice more in November (circle F) before IYE was able to rally impressively through resistance at line C on strong volume (line G).
To determine the price target from this formation, measure the height of the flagpole, which is defined as the distance from the breakout above resistance to the first high, which is labeled line 1. This is calculated to be ($46.10 - $40.40) or $5.70. This amount is then added to the break above resistance (line C), which gives a target of $50.12 ($44.42 + $5.70).
NEXT: Continued Study of This Classic Formation
As you can see on the above daily chart, this target was hit in early 2004 before another continuation pattern developed, lines H and I. On the weekly chart (Figure 3), this rectangular type of continuation pattern was identified as box 2. Although major tops can sometimes take on a similar formation, they are only formed after a long-term uptrend, and as the weekly chart of IYE shows, this was not the case.
Also, this rectangle clearly is sloping upwards, which is consistent with a positive, or bullish interpretation. The rectangle formations clearly illustrate the battle between buyers and sellers.
The buyers come in at support (line I), while the sellers took over as resistance was reached (line H). It is interesting to note that the heaviest volume during the period examined came on the downside in May (see blue circle on Figure 5 above), but IYE still held well above the previous lows and support at line I.
As the chart indicates, the buyers began to win as IYE pushed through resistance three times between June and August 2004 (see arrows), but in each instance, the volume was low and there was little follow through on the upside.
In early September, this changed when the extended resistance (line H) was again overcome with the highest volume (red circle) of the past three months. To obtain the price target from a rectangle, you just calculate the width of the formation (line a), in this instance $4.30, and add it to the breakout point, so the target would be $58.04 + $4.40, or $62.44.
After rallying from $55 to $67, IYE again took a rest as it formed another rectangle pattern (lines J and K on Figure 5), which is shown as box 3 on the weekly chart (Figure 3). It is important to observe that this entire formation developed above the previous resistance, as indicated by the extension of line H (dashed line).
As most know, once resistance is convincingly overcome, it then becomes support. For this new rectangle, support is present in the $60.80-$61.30 area (line K), which was tested three times during late 2004 and early 2005.
Two levels of resistance were noted: The initial resistance at $65.48 and the major resistance at $67.00 (dashed line J). Within the rectangle formation, a smaller flag formation was also evident, formed by the downtrend (line 1) and line K. On January 14, 2005, IYE broke through this downtrend with the close at $64.31 (see green circle).
Several weeks later, the major resistance at line J was overcome amid heavy volume. The rectangle was $5.70 wide and the first target at $74.10 ($68.40 + $5.70) was met and exceeded in the next month.
Continuation patterns such as these are important for any good chartist. The ability to identify and understand them will allow the trader to capitalize on their easily recognizable attributes in order to set up favorable risk/reward trades.
Conversely, the failure to identify them can cause the trader to close out intermediate-term positions at the wrong time, while short-term traders often establish swing positions against the major trend and are stopped out.

So argues conservative pundit and Bush I assistant secretary of education Ravitch (Left Back, 2000, etc.) in a hard-hitting attack on the educational establishment and the interest groups, left and right, that control it. It's not so much that youngsters today are coddled with sensitive textbook language that bars reference to Africans as slaves or Jews as classical musicians or that dances around the non-niceties of Islamic fundamentalism, though this sort of censorship is awful enough in Ravitch's estimation; it's that contending political groups, from the Christian right to gay and lesbian alliances, have so thoroughly inserted their agendas into the classroom that it's become practically impossible to depict anyone doing anything, whether it's George Washington crossing the Delaware or George Washington Carver finding economic uses for peanuts, without arousing someone's ire. The governing idea in the resulting content-free, actor-free, active-verb–free educational scene is that no one be offended by any idea he or she is ever exposed to in the classroom—European Americans excepted, Ravitch writes, for they "are the only group that must be taken down a few pegs; their self-esteem is too high." Battles over curriculum and textbooks are nothing new, of course, as Ravitch shows; still, those battles have become particularly bitter in just the last few years: school boards, educators, and textbook publishers have so utterly given in to political pressure that no opinion—and almost no piece of literature—can be aired in a venue that once prided itself as a forum for the free expression of ideas, and that can now no longer teach anything of real value. Ravitch's assault is far-reaching, admirably complete, and generally nondoctrinaire. She takes on ideologues of whatever stripe, finds them all wanting, and offers, in detail, a reasonable alternative in the form of a curriculum that explains that sometimes history hasn't been very nice while allowing historical actors to speak for themselves.
Of tremendous importance to parents, educational reformers, and anyone concerned with the myriad failings of the present culture.
