Q: segue change destinationViewController Is there a way to change what controller the segue is going to invoke in prepare for segue? I'm trying to do that when a segmentedcontrol is changed with an embedded segue. Thanks!

A: As you may have noticed the segue's destinationViewController is readonly.  Your better strategy would be to have segues defined between the view controller that holds the segmented control (not a view or control) and the other view controllers that you want to choose among.  Make your decision based on the selected segment and call performSegueWithIdentifier:sender: from the controller's code with the identifier that matches the segment.

A: If you want to switch which controller is the embedded controller, then I think you need to use the custom container view controller paradigm that Apple uses. The code I have below is from a small test app that does that. This was set up using the single controller template, and then adding a container view to that controller (called ViewController), and a segmented control to the main view. I then added a disconnected view controller, changed its size to free form, and then adjusted its view size to be the same as the embedded controller's view size. Here is the code in ViewController.h:
@interface ViewController : UIViewController

@property (weak,nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *container;
@property (strong,nonatomic) UIViewController *initialVC;
@property (strong,nonatomic) UIViewController *substituteVC;
@property (strong,nonatomic) UIViewController *currentVC;

@end

And this is what I have in the ViewController.m:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.initialVC = self.childViewControllers.lastObject;
    self.substituteVC = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"Substitute"];
    self.currentVC = self.initialVC;
}

-(IBAction)SwitchControllers:(UISegmentedControl *)sender {
    switch (sender.selectedSegmentIndex) {
        case 0:
            if (self.currentVC == self.substituteVC) {
                [self addChildViewController:self.initialVC];
                self.initialVC.view.frame = self.container.bounds;
                [self moveToNewController:self.initialVC];
            }
            break;
        case 1:
            if (self.currentVC == self.initialVC) {
                [self addChildViewController:self.substituteVC];
                self.substituteVC.view.frame = self.container.bounds;
                [self moveToNewController:self.substituteVC];
            }
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
}

-(void)moveToNewController:(UIViewController *) newController {
    [self.currentVC willMoveToParentViewController:nil];
    [self transitionFromViewController:self.currentVC toViewController:newController duration:.6 options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromLeft animations:^{}
                            completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                                [self.currentVC removeFromParentViewController];
                                [newController didMoveToParentViewController:self];
                                self.currentVC = newController;
                            }];

Nuclear Weapons R&D Organizations in Nine Nations [May 1, 2013]
Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
"Since 1945, seven nations--China, France, India, Pakistan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States--have developed and currently deploy nuclear weapons. North Korea tested a low-yield nuclear explosive device in October 2006, announced that it had conducted a second nuclear test in May 2009, and announced a third test on February 12, 2013. Israel is generally thought to possess nuclear weapons, although it maintains a policy of ambiguity on this matter. This report describes the organizations controlling research and development (R&D) on nuclear weapons (i.e., nuclear explosive devices, as distinct from the bombers and missiles that carry them) in these nations, and presents a brief history of the organizations controlling nuclear weapons R&D in the United States. It discusses whether these organizations are civilian or military, though in many nations the lines between civilian and military are blurred. This information may be of use to Members of Congress and their staff interested in nuclear weapons, nuclear proliferation, and arms control matters."

Since 1946, weapons R&D has been managed by civilian agencies, at present by the National Nuclear Security Administration, a semiautonomous agency in the Department of Energy. China's nuclear weapons R&D is apparently under the direction of the military, collectively called the People's Liberation Army. France's nuclear weapons R&D is supervised by the Ministry of Defense, which delegates the direction of these programs to the French Atomic and Alternative Energy Commission (CEA). However, as with NNSA in the United States, CEA is not a part of the Ministry of Defense. CEA also conducts nuclear programs in science and industry, under the supervision of other ministries."

Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire and Lt. Colonel Allen West discuss the political left repeatedly "crying wolf" over perceived racism.
All groups have racists but as a whole the Left is far more racist and bigoted then the Right by a huge margin.
The left calls Black Men who think for themselves White Supremacists and race traitors and Uncle Toms then they call us Racists for legitimate concerns.

What are Bonds ?
A bond is a debt security, similar to an I.O.U. When you purchase a bond, you are lending money to a government, municipality, corporation, federal agency or other entity known as an issuer.* In return for that money, the issuer provides you with a bond in which it promises to pay a specified rate of interest during the life of the bond and to repay the face value of the bond (the principal) when it matures, or comes due.
Among the types of bonds available for investment are : U.S. government securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, federal agency securities and foreign government bonds. The characteristics of several different types of U.S. bonds are described in the Bond Basics Glossary at the end of this section. Market practices described here apply to the U.S. bond market, and may differ from those in other countries.
Bonds can be also called bills, notes, debt securities, or debt obligations. To simplify matters, we will refer to all of these as "bonds." CLICK the above LINK for Full Details.


I have some bicentennial quarters and some have the Denver mint mark and others have no mint mark. Does that mean anything? Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. I can't seem to find a mark in the traditional lower right side on the face of the quarter.
Best Answer: It was not until 1980 that the P mint mark ( for Philadelphia) was put on all circulation coins except the cent. Up to that time there was no mint mark for Philly, except for the war nickels 1942-1945, where a large mint mark was put over the dome to note that the coins had silver in them. A large P was put there for the Philly mint.
No mint mark would mean it was minted in philladelphia.

Local language Finnish and Swedish
Country Finland
Founded in 1779 on the banks of the Tammerkoski Rapids, Tampere is the capital of Finland's Western Lake District and is home to almost 200 lakes within the city limits! With 210,000 inhabitants, Tampere is actually considered a big city compared to other Finnish cities but compared to other European cities it is still relatively small and once you are in the centre you can easily cover everything on foot.
In the 19th century, the city was the country's most industrialized, however today, many of the former industrial areas (Finlayson and Tampella for example) have been re-developed and are home to a variety of cafés, restaurants, shops, sport and fitness centres, cinemas, theatres, workshops and galleries leaving behind the more industrial past.
Going to Tampere?
Use our Trip Planner and start your trip here.
Tampere offers a wide range of museums and galleries, among them a few unique ones, such as the Lenin Museum, Spy Museum, Ice Hockey Museum, Moominvalley Museum or Vapriikki Museum Centre, for those who are interested in local history.
One of Tampere's main attractions is Särkänniemi Adventure Park which attracts over 700,000 visitors each year and is only 2km from the city centre. Logically the park is busiest in summer, but it is open all year round.
The park's main attractions include the Aquarium, the Planetarium, Näsinneula Observation Tower. Except for the fun rides, the Dolphinarium and the Children's Zoo, which are open from early May to late August, all the parks attractions are open all year round.
Amonst the locals, Finlaysonin Palatsi is better known as the "Little Palace". The Finlayson Palace is extraordinarily decorative, with the Neo-Renaissance style being the dominant influence. The facade has kept most of its original look, except for some of the plaster sculptures and decorations that have been damaged in the course of time and have therefore had to be restored and/or replaced. The palace now houses the popular restaurant Alexanderin Palatsi.
Located south of Tampere, the fascinating Dolls & Costumes Museum museum has more than 4000 dolls on display, with some of the exhibits dating back to the 12th century. The building itself is called Hatanpää Manor house and is surrounded by the stunning Arboretum Park. The founder had been collecting family treasures, antiquities, and also Finnish upper class art for years and in 1966 decided to open the museum. Run by the Haihara Museum Foundation since 1982, the museum collection contains exhibits from all over the world, such as magical and antique toy dolls, paper dolls, stone age venuses, pin up Barbies, puppets, Christmas crib and votive wax dolls, as well as dolls' houses with their inhabitants, china services, and toys.
In the basement of the public library, the Moominvalley Museum offers an exhibition based on the popular children's books of Tove Jansson. On display are original drawings and tableaux models from the world of Moomintrolls as well as the 5-storey miniature (2.5 meters high) version of Moomin house. Children and fans of Moominworld will love it.
The Pyynikki Ridge & Observation Tower ridge is a forested area of walking and cycling trails between Tampere's two lakes. Rising 85m above the shores of the lake, the ridge claims to be the highest gravel ridge in the world. On the ridge, there's an old observation tower which also has a great café. From the tower, which was built in 1929, you'll have a splendid view of Tampere: you can see Lake Näsijärvi on one side, Lake Pyhäjärvi on the other side with the city in between.
Located in the Worker's Hall of Tampere, inside the hall where Lenin and Stalin met for the first time in 1905, the tiny Lenin Museum is home to the only permanent Lenin exhibition in the world since Lenin museums' elsewhere in the world have either closed down or are only open at certain times. Owned by the Finland-Russia Society and supported by Tampere city and the Ministry of Education, the museum has a collection exhibits and research material related to Lenin's life and the history of the former Soviet Union, with a lot of the material relating to Lenin's time in Finland.
All major sights in and around the city centre can easily be reached on foot. The city's bus network connects the suburbs with the city centre, with all buses stopping right at or near the central square.
There are nightbuses, too. These are the ones with a 'Y' in addition to their line number. Regional bus lines are the buses with the numbers 45-95. There are also buses to destinations outside the city, such as Helsinki.

Le gare di atletica leggera ai giochi della I Olimpiade di Atene del 1896 si tennero durante le prime Olimpiadi moderne, che si svolsero dal 6 al 10 aprile 1896 (secondo il calendario giuliano, in uso in Grecia, la data d'inizio fu il 25 marzo e quella finale il 29).

Partecipazione

Sono ammessi ai Giochi solo gli atleti dilettanti. Questo principio rimarrà praticamente immutato fino a Barcellona 1992. Cambierà invece più volte il concetto di dilettantismo. Ad Atene fa fede la formulazione adottata nel 1894, secondo la quale è dilettante (amateur, sia in francese che in inglese) chi non ha mai gareggiato per denaro, né guadagna soldi vendendo i suoi premi, non incassa percentuali sui biglietti, né partecipa a competizioni sulle quali si scommette, non gareggia in gare aperte ai professionisti e non è professionista in un'altra disciplina. Il primo cambiamento avverrà a Stoccolma 1912.

La partecipazione ai Giochi è libera. Ad Atene gli atleti gareggiano a titolo individuale, scendendo in campo con le maglie dei propri club o delle università di appartenenza (sarà così fino ai Giochi del 1904 compresi). Il medagliere per nazioni, quindi, non è che una curiosità per noi contemporanei. Inoltre ad Atene non vennero premiati i primi tre classificati, bensì i primi due: il vincitore con una medaglia d'argento, una corona d'ulivo e un attestato, il secondo con una medaglia di rame e un ramo d'alloro. Il CIO assegnerà retroattivamente i premi per i terzi classificati.

Solo l'università statunitense di Princeton e la Boston Athletic Association portarono in Grecia una propria rappresentativa. Parteciparono, tra gli americani, anche due atleti dell'Università Harvard: Ellery Clark e James Connolly. Il primo ottenne un'aspettativa in ragione dei voti elevati; Connolly si autosospese e pagò da sé le spese di viaggio e alloggio.

Quasi tutti i migliori atleti statunitensi ignorarono i Giochi di Atene. Tra chi invece era presente ad Atene, i due migliori erano Thomas Burke e James Connolly, che partecipavano ai meeting di livello nazionale. Gli altri erano atleti di seconda fascia. Nonostante ciò, gli statunitensi vinsero nove delle undici gare cui parteciparono. Ciò dipese anche dal fatto che le altre nazioni più forti negli sport atletici (Irlanda, Finlandia, Norvegia e Canada) disertarono i Giochi, mentre gli atleti inglesi non mostrarono grande interesse. I concorrenti più temibili risultarono quindi i greci, che ottennero una vittoria e tre secondi posti. In effetti, gli statunitensi e i greci totalizzarono il maggior numero di iscritti: le due nazionalità costituivano i due terzi del totale dei concorrenti. Molte gare si risolsero in un confronto tra gli atleti delle due nazioni (ad esempio nel salto con l'asta parteciparono solo statunitensi e greci), dove i greci ebbero quasi sempre il ruolo degli sconfitti.

È interessante notare il fatto che tutti i sette vincitori di medaglie d'oro nelle gare su pista si iscrissero a più prove, in puro spirito dilettantistico:
Thomas Curtis (Boston Athletic Association) gareggiò sui 110 metri ostacoli come prima gara e sui 100 metri piani come seconda (un oro nella prima);
Thomas Burke (Università di Boston), l'unico campione nazionale USA presente ai Giochi, partecipò ai 400 metri piani come prima gara ed ai 100 metri come seconda (due ori).
Ellery Clark, dedito alle prove multiple (che all'epoca esistevano solo negli Stati Uniti e si chiamavano All around), gareggiò nel salto in lungo, nel salto in alto e nel getto del peso (oro nelle prime due).
William Hoyt (Boston A. A.) partecipò al salto con l'asta come prima gara ed ai 110 metri ostacoli come seconda (oro nella prima);
James Connolly gareggiò nel salto triplo come prima gara, poi nell'alto e nel lungo (rispettivamente, primo, secondo e terzo);
Robert Garrett (Università di Princeton), lanciatore, gareggiò nel getto del peso come prima gara, poi nel lancio del disco (novità assoluta di Atene 1896) e s'iscrisse anche nel salto in alto e nel salto in lungo (rispettivamente, due ori e due argenti).
L'atleta più eclettico risultò l'australiano Edwin Flack (London Athletic Club). Corse gli 800 (6 e 9 aprile) e i 1500 metri (7 aprile) vincendo entrambi e affrontò la maratona (10 aprile). Si iscrisse anche al torneo di tennis. Al primo turno del singolare fu sconfitto (8 aprile), invece nel doppio arrivò in semifinale (9 aprile).

Tra gli atleti non vincenti, i Giochi di Atene possono annoverare solo altri due specialisti: il francese Albin Lermusiaux (terzo nei 1500) e lo statunitense Albert Tyler (Princeton, secondo nell'asta).

Il punto tecnico

Cronometraggio
Il cronometraggio è manuale al quinto di secondo; rimarrà così fino ai Giochi di Amsterdam (1928) compresi. I cronometristi, posizionati come oggi all'arrivo, avviano i cronometri appena vedono la fiammata dello sparo dello starter. Nelle batterie vengono ufficializzati solo i tempi dei qualificati; nelle finali è ufficializzato solo il tempo del vincitore.

Non esiste ancora il concetto di giuria internazionale, dato che non esistono manifestazioni internazionali. Si ritiene normale che i giudici siano del paese ospitante. Questa consuetudine perdurerà fino a Londra 1908.

La pista

La pista dello stadio è stata progettata da Charles Perry. L'esperto inglese realizzerà anche la pista per gli stadi olimpici di Londra 1908 e Stoccolma 1912. La superficie è composta da un soffice strato di cenere che, da una parte facilita la corsa degli atleti, ma dall'altra può rendere la pista molto lenta in caso di pioggia.

Perry ha disegnato delle curve molto strette: non più di 15 metri di raggio, mentre i rettilinei sono stimati intorno ai 150 metri. Questo particolare danneggia soprattutto le gare dove gli atleti devono percorrere più di un giro.
Le corsie sono delimitate da cordicelle rette da picchetti di ferro, come si vede nelle foto dell'epoca. L'altezza da terra delle cordicelle è di 30 cm, mentre i picchetti sono posti a circa 20 metri l'uno dall'altro. Le cordicelle rimarranno in uso fino alle Olimpiadi del 1908 comprese. Solo nei 110 metri ostacoli le corsie sono libere: l'ostacolo che l'atleta deve valicare rappresenta infatti un inevitabile punto di riferimento.

Regolamenti di gara e stili di gara
I regolamenti di gara utilizzati ad Atene non sono uniformi: per le corse si usa quello francese, per i concorsi si adotta quello britannico, tranne che nel salto triplo, dove lo stile è libero. Lo stile irlandese (i primi due appoggi sulla stessa gamba ed il terzo sull'altra) verrà codificato a Londra 1908.

Corse
Le false partenze possono essere illimitate; l'atleta che commette l'infrazione viene penalizzato con un indietreggiamento a discrezione dello starter, che ha anche il potere di squalificarlo in caso di ripetizione dell'irregolarità. È già in uso da qualche anno dare la partenza con un colpo di pistola. È consuetudine che lo starter si posizioni dietro i partenti (poi cadrà in disuso).

Non esistono ancora i blocchi di partenza; saranno introdotti nel 1927 e verranno adottati alle Olimpiadi solo a partire dal 1948. Gli atleti possono scegliere liberamente lo stile di partenza; tutti, tranne gli statunitensi, partono in piedi o leggermente piegati in avanti.

Gli ostacoli a forma di L che, se toccati, cadono in avanti, non sono ancora stati inventati. Gli ostacoli sono saldamente fissati al terreno. I concorrenti devono quindi stare attenti ad evitare l'impatto con la barriera poiché correrebbero il pericolo di cadere.

Concorsi
Nei lanci e nei salti in estensione i giudici non possono comunicare agli atleti la loro misura. Quindi un concorrente non può sapere qual è la sua posizione durante la competizione. Alla fine della gara i giudici annunciano chi è il vincitore. Solo negli USA, invece, è invalso l'uso di comunicare agli atleti la misura durante la gara.

Gli organizzatori greci fanno rivivere il lancio del disco, disciplina che appartiene alla loro storia. Non si sa però come gli antichi lo lanciassero. Dall'esame delle opere d'arte dell'antichità si conclude che il corpo dovesse rimanere fermo: il lancio si effettuava cioè senza rotazione, con la semplice torsione del busto (movimento "a onda"). Il regolamento della gara prevede l'utilizzo di un disco di forma lenticolare in legno con nucleo centrale di piombo e orlo esterno di ferro del peso di kg 1,923. La pedana di lancio è un piedistallo quadrato di 2,50 metri di lato.

Tra le gare che i greci recuperano dal loro illustre passato manca sorprendentemente il lancio del giavellotto, che ad Olimpia compariva nel programma del Pentathlon.

Gli organizzatori hanno deciso che tutte le finali si disputino lo stesso giorno, venerdì 10 aprile. Per cui il programma dell'ultima giornata è serrato. Alcuni atleti che si sono qualificati per più di un evento devono quindi rinunciare ad una o più finali.

Food. It's a subject that I rarely get tired of talking about. Even in February, when I should be eyeball deep in a very healthy diet, my obsession is finding the most enjoyment from each bite. Luckily, I like fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, seafood and finding recipes to combine all of them.
This issue is really devoted to what brings us together. As Candi Sweeney says in our feature on kitchen trends, the kitchen truly is the heart and soul of the home. After watching hours of House Hunters, I've learned that if there's one thing that people won't skimp on, it's the kitchen. Knowing that they can entertain and really, live, in this one room is of the utmost importance to modern home buyers.
Although we are landlocked in the midwest, the Seattle Fish Company International is making sure that we don't have to feel that way at dinner time. With their new program that utilizes bycatch, or all the fish that also get caught when fisherman are netting for the more popular catches like tuna, home cooks can try some new kinds of fish and possibly make fishing more sustainable. Read all about it in Pete Dulin's feature.
Bringing the family together for dinner is important. In our busy lives, dinnertime is sometimes the only time that we really get to slow down and connect, checking in with each other. Whether we do that in one of our fantastic restaurants (check out Luigi's!) or at the family dinner table, it's important to slow down and enjoy each other as well as our food. Bon Appetit!

Heretical Thought Mission Statement:
Thought is heretical when it threatens our idea of universality, or our notion of the self or selves. Such threats can occur in the face of advances in science, human science, governance, or media. Regardless of purpose or intent, heretical ideas shape and determine our bodies and our consciousness and/or the ways we communicate about them. They also embody seismic or significant breaks in sclerotic contemporary political thought.
Thisseries is shaped by the notion that contemporary political thought that advances significant or seismic ideas, independent of purpose or intent, and also threatens our ideas of universality, is heretical. Books in the series expose contemporary ruptures in thought, or a break in a school of thought. In doing so they will make visible, or apparent, threats that are observable, empirical, biological, chemical, or physical in the universe — suggesting not only how such threats can compel new ways of thinking, but also how they can lead to productive political action.

Halloween creatures invade Manchester early: chance to win two tickets to the Illuminaughty Halloween party!
A heavy mist suddenly falls on a darkened Manchester hiding from sight unspeakably hideous creatures. Drums can be heard in the distance lulling you into a hypnotic trance, the work of witches and daemons no doubt. Or perhaps Voodoo ring masters, descending onto the city streets armed with psychedelic beats banged out by their armies of musical Goblins possessed with the desire for mischief and fun. It must be that time of year again; it can only be the Illuminaughty Halloween party.
Science Slam: a synergy of science and poetry transcends expectations
Poetry and science are two things generally not associated with each other, in fact if you joined the two in a word association test you would be one step closer to a chemical cosh and your very own padded cell. However the audience attending the Science Slam at the packed out Nexus Art Cafe Thursday night will never again doubt the validity of the two pursuits being combined; though I can't rule out they may end up bouncing of the walls of a padded cell at some time in the future.
Review: Greater Manchester Fringe Festival – A Dream Play
We were outside Nexus Art Café in the Northern Quarter, queuing, when a car raced up, the driver shoved a woman to the pavement and the performance began.

There's a Secret Facebook Group Full Of Border Patrol Agents Laughing About Migrant Deaths
Vanessa Taylor

The situation at the border is steadily growing worse. Children are separated from their families and people are being denied basic needs. Over the last year alone, seven children have died in federal immigration custody. There is no way to describe what's happening at the border outside of cruelty, but the dehumanization of immigrants carries over online as well.
On Monday, a ProPublica report exposed a private Facebook group for Border Patrol officers full of jokes about migrant's deaths and sexist memes, often featuring Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The group — called "I'm 10-15" Border Patrol code for "aliens in custody" — was created in August 2016. So far, it has roughly 9,500 members from across the United States.
One exchange that ProPublica accessed involved group members making jokes beneath the post of a news story about a 16-year-old Guatemalan migrant who died while in federal immigration custody. One person posted an Elmo Gif with the quote, "Oh well." Another person said, "If he dies, he dies."
Regarding a tour planned by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, members of the group were clearly less than thrilled. According to ProPublica — in attacks against Reps. Ocasio-Cortez and Veronica Escobar, one member "encouraged" Border Patrol agents to hurl a "burrito at these bitches." Multiple posts targeted Ocasio-Cortez by showing her engaging in oral sex. One of those photos was an illustration of President Donald Trump smiling while forcing Ocasio-Cortez's head towards his crotch. The agent who posted the image said: "That's right bitches. The masses have spoken and today democracy won."
Members of the group also weren't happy about Ocasio-Cortez, (correctly) calling Border Patrol facilities concentration camps instead of detention centers. Euphemisms such as, "detention facilities," are used to help mask what's actually going on. By referring to border facilities as concentration camps, Ocasio-Cortez undoubtedly turned additional attention to her from agents within the exposed Facebook group.
Before visiting the Border Patrol facility outside of El Paso, Ocasio-Cortez responded to the report on Twitter.
"This isn't about a 'few bad eggs.' This is a violent culture," Ocasio-Cortez wrote. "9,500 CBP offices sharing memes about dead migrants and discussing violence and sexual misconduct towards members of Congress. How on earth can CBP's culture be trusted to care for refugees humanely?"
9,500 CBP officers sharing memes about dead migrants and discussing violence and sexual misconduct towards members of Congress.
How on earth can CBP's culture be trusted to care for refugees humanely?
PS I have no plans to change my itinerary & will visit the CBP station today.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 1, 2019
The group featured in ProPublica's report is secret, so there's no way to find it without receiving an invitation or screenshots. However, ProPublica was able to link participants in the group to legitimate Facebook profiles that belonged to Border Patrol agents. This included a supervisor based in El Paso, Texas and an agent in Eagle Pass, Texas.
To be clear, the United States has had an immigration problem long before President Trump came into office. Xenophobia is deeply embedded in American politics. Between 2009 and 2012, President Obama's administration deported 1.6 million immigrants. In 2012, the administration reached a record for deportations in a single fiscal year at 419,384.
With Trump's administration, there is undoubtedly an escalation of tactics and a willingness to begin abandoning some of the political language used to mask the intentions of immigration policies before. It's important to keep that context in mind. The Trump administration is not an exception to the rule, but a continuation of a political climate that's been stoked for decades.
This is not the first time that a Facebook group has been revealed as a safe space for those in positions of authority to freely express their hate. In June, an investigation by Reveal found hundreds of former and current law enforcement officers were members of Facebook groups promoting hate speech and bigotry.
The automatic defense is to say that these groups are secret, so how could Facebook know. However, Facebook is absolutely accountable for creating an environment where xenophobia, Islamophobia, racism, and etc.— all extensions of white supremacy — are permitted to run free.
While 9,500 Border Patrol agents can create secret groups to incite further violence against immigrants, Black people can't even discuss white privilege on the platform without being banned.
As platforms like Facebook are told to redefine their bans on white supremacy because they're too narrow, these groups pose real questions about how social media platforms will respond to hate encouraged by members of federal agencies.
The report should also make people examine the overall structure of America's border patrol. This isn't a matter of a couple of bad individuals but instead speaks to a larger culture and institution that allows this type of violence to fester.
Beyond hate, what we are seeing is the active dehumanization of people at the border. It is why we can see pictures of a father and young daughter lying face down in the same rivers that they drowned in without any real change coming from it. That dehumanization is part of what allows the atrocities to continue and secret groups like this to exist.
Customs and Border Protection has launched an investigation into the Facebook group.

Gay men, unhappy women
Many gay men are married. Avijit Chatterjee looks at the plight of their wives
By TT Bureau
Published 26.04.15
Vanisha fell in love with her weight trainer. Within two months, they were married. But on their first night together, her husband told Vanisha, a resident of Bandra in Mumbai, to sleep in another room for he was not interested in having sex with her. She discovered with a shock that he was gay.
"During our courtship he appeared to be so caring and loving that I never thought he was marrying me only to keep his family happy and was not interested in me as a person," she says. "When I asked him why he hadn't disclosed his sexual orientation to me, he said I could fulfil my sexual desires by entering into a relationship with his brothers."
With shattered dreams and a broken heart, Vanisha returned to her parents' house two days after her marriage.
But Priya Vedi couldn't - or didn't want to - do that. She took her life because her husband of five years was gay.
For the last few days, Vedi's story has been hitting the headlines. A doctor, she "outed" her doctor husband on her Facebook page before taking her life in a hotel in New Delhi. The police said she had found her husband using an email account to communicate with other gay men.
Before she slit her wrists, Vedi posted a fervent plea on her Facebook page to gay men, urging them "not to play with a girl's emotion" by hiding their sexuality and entering into wedlock.
Vedi's story is not unique. According to gay activist Ashok Row Kavi, 75 per cent of the estimated population of 25 lakh gay men in India are married. And more than the effect on men caught in such marriages is the impact on their wives, points out Hemangi Mhaprolkar, a Mumbai-based clinical psychologist who during her 14-year practice has counselled several such women.
"That is because in India a wife is held responsible for the failure of her marriage. So when a marriage does not work, the blame falls on the wife. This has a crippling effect on her morale and self-worth," she says.
Of course, gay men are often pushed into such situations because of societal and family pressures. The fact that most people still do not accept homosexuality forces them to keep their sexual orientation a secret. But while some men do find support outside their marriage from gay friends, the woman seldom has anyone to turn to.
"Homosexuality is such a hush-hush thing in India that a woman thinks if she tells anyone about her husband's sexual orientation, she will become an object of ridicule," rues Anjali Gopalan of Naz Foundation, a non-government organisation (NGO) that works on sexual health. "There is hardly any social support for women married to gay men in India."
Rashmi, a social worker based in Pune, felt this lack of support soon after her marriage. After her honeymoon in Kerala last November, she approached a few NGOs working on gay rights. "But they refused to help and even suggested that I go for a mutual divorce as my husband was already facing too many problems and I would only increase his problems," she says.
She walked out of her husband's home after 46 days of marriage. Rashmi also scoured the Internet to find out how to deal with such situations - and came across the Straight Spouse Network started by an American, Bonnie Kaye. Kaye had launched the network after her marriage to a gay man collapsed in 1982. She in turn connected Rashmi to a few other women married to gay husbands.
"I tell women who seek my help to find an escape route, which isn't always easy in India. The cultural differences are very defeating for a woman who finds herself in this position," Kaye says. She, however, tries to put women in touch with other women facing similar problems. There are about a dozen women from India in her "support system", she says.
Rashmi has now started a similar network in India called the Indian Straight Spouses, along with a London-based friend called Nimcy, who also found herself in a similar situation. "We have a Facebook page through which we reach out to straight spouses of gay partners. We connect them with local NGOs who offer counselling and legal advice to straight spouses," Rashmi says.
Some believe that gay men need to be counselled too - and before they get married to straight women. "But they [gay men] want to please their parents and take the easy way out [by marrying straight women]," says Kavi, who is founder of Humsafar Trust, an NGO which promotes gay rights. "They think they can have the best of both worlds - by hiding behind a heterosexual marriage and continuing with their secret gay lives," Kavi adds.
Deepak Kashyap, a Mumbai-based psychologist, stresses that such men are playing with fire. "You not only endanger your life by participating in irresponsible sex with men but also destroy the life of an unsuspecting woman. Also, there is the added danger of deadly infection," he says.
Kashyap believes that the "re-criminalisation" of homosexuality by the Supreme Court in 2013 has only made matters worse as those who would have come out of the closet now have to hide their sexuality.
Counsellors warn that some gay men married to straight women can also turn abusive. Trapped in a bad marriage themselves, they can develop a resentful attitude towards their wives, points out Audrey D'Mello, programme director, Majlis, a forum for women's rights discourse and legal initiatives.
But Mumbai-based family court lawyer Nilofer Saeed Akhtar, who has come across several such cases during her 30 years of practice, says women nowadays have become more aware and know what they want. "They tell me straightaway that they want an annulment of their marriage," she says.
If only Vedi, like them, had thought that being married to a gay man was not the end of her life. For her, sadly, it was the end of her life.
How to find out if your husband is gay
You find pop-ups of gay pornography on the computer
He claims that he feels 'trapped' in the marriage and won't explain why
You can't track his activities
He tells you about sexual abuse in his childhood/adolescence
He admits to having a homosexual encounter in the past
He uses the word 'bisexual'
He visits gay bars claiming he's there only to hang out with his gay friend
He watches porn movies with gay male scenes
He makes too many gay comments in conversations

Salvation History is Our Story
Ministry Tip of the Week
by Seth Evangelho
About a year and a half ago, Bishop Peter Libasci gathered catechists from around the Diocese of Manchester for a day of recollection. His goal was to begin implementing a cohesive strategy for faith formation across the years. From pre-K to First Communion Prep, through to High School Confirmation, Marriage Prep, R.C.I.A. and ongoing adult education, Bishop Libasci is calling his catechists to share a single vision. That vision... is Salvation History.
We're a part of the great plan of salvation. We have a story. How well do we know our story? The goal for the Diocese of Manchester is that everyone know our story, and that we're always growing deeper in our understanding of it at every stage of formation.
The Bible tells the story of God calling a people to himself, the story of God raising up a family. As Church we proclaim the message of salvation, which most certainly begins with the forgiveness of our sins; but there's so much more! Through Jesus' act of perfect love on the cross, the gates of heaven are opened and we're invited to become the adopted sons and daughters of the heavenly Father. The story of salvation is a dramatic unfolding of God's family, the story of a Father who longs so deeply for the love of his children. Slowly but surely, the Father was preparing the hearts of his people to receive the full revelation of his mercy. Slowly but surely, he was drawing humanity deeper into the mystery of his covenant love (the mutual gift of self).
How well do we know this story? Is it at the center of our catechesis? I was delighted to hear the words as they flowed from Bishop Libasci's lips, for his plea was urgent and it stressed the importance of knowing who we are as Church. From our story flows the meaning of the sacramental life we live. Without this story, we have no foundation on which to understand and build upon the faith that has been handed down to us.
The more we understand what God was doing in the life of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and all the great figures of the Old Testament, the more effectively his Word will begin to live in our own personal histories. As we learn to interpret our own lives through the people and events of Scripture, we come to see more clearly the Lord alive and working in our midst. As we come to understand salvation history as a single story, as our story, we come to understand more powerfully our place not just in history but in the Father's heart, and in the great family of God we call Church.
For an entertaining overview of salvation history, complete with endearing stick-figure depictions of the biggest events (which, by the way, we're given full permission to use in our own teaching settings), get your hands on this book by Dr. John Bergsma:
Bible Basics for Catholics: A New Picture of Salvation History
If you'd like to go a bit deeper in your vision of salvation history, Dr. Scott Hahn presents a riveting vision and exploration of God's actions in Scripture:
A Father Who Keeps His Promises: God's Covenant Love in Scripture
Finally, for a more scholarly (but poetic) approach, I recommend this beautiful synthesis of the Old and New Testaments by Fr. Aidan Nichols:
Lovely, Like Jerusalem: The Fulfillment of the Old Testament in Christ and the Church
There are other great resources out there as well. The point is to grow deeper, and to learn how to more effectively pass your understanding on to the next generations. In Christ we are a family, and our story is the greatest the world has ever known. May we learn to tell it with passion and confidence.

Q what raw foods does one eat to gain weight ?
A Typically you're looking to add more calories if you're trying to add weight. Calorically dense foods like dates, bananas, figs, and raisins can be added to smoothies, recipes, or eaten out of hand. We're just now coming into persimmon season which are fairly high in calories as well.
If you are on a low fruit diet then you are probably already eating a fair amount of fat so adding some sprouted grains or legumes may be the answer for you.
Because most of us come to the raw food diet after eating extremely calorically dense meals most of our life it can be a challenge to eat enough of the typical raw foods which are not calorically dense at all.
It may take a little while to figure out, but soon you'll know just what you need in the way of daily calories to either keep your present weight or add a few pounds.
And remember exercise is important as well, it stimulates metabolism and improves digestion. Just remember you'll need to eat additional calories to adjust for the level of your activity.
Please remember that it's not uncommon for one to lose weight when first starting on the raw diet, and then naturally putting some back on over the months. I think it's also important to note that the average American man today weighs about 25 pounds more than he did in the 1960's, which can make a person feel like they are too skinny or underweight, when actually they are in a healthy condition.
It's interesting how you focused on diet and exercise as a coordinated effort. I was thinking it would also be beneficial to monitor RMR,BMI, and calories burned. Then you would have some accuracy in determining and adjusting your diet for weight gain or loss. If anyone is interested I have found Online calculators available for RMR, BMI & Calories Burned and how to get big muscles. These are pretty simple, just enter your age, weight, height and activities you have done during the day. The calculator's will do the rest and tell you how many calories you use for the whole day and when at rest. This could help someone know how to adjust their diet to either gain weight or lose weight.
**Note from Hugh ~ Good points all. I tend to like the simplest methods so would just try adding more calories with appropriate exercise first and then stepping on the scale. From there you can adjust your caloric intake one way or the other. Then if needed a more scientific approach can be taken, but usually simple is best.
There are also things like quality of calories and absorption of calories as well. Consuming quality foods, chewing the food thoroughly, not eating meals on top of meals, and using digestive supplements if needed can all help a person gain or lose weight. This is all gauged by the caloric intake and adequate exercise.
