"Sustainability" means developing an awareness of planetary constraints, behaving as a caretaker for the earth, and planning for future generations dependent on the wellbeing of the planet. The Sustainability Pathway introduces the multiple dimensions surrounding environmental issues and needed skills to enter both the workforce and public life as a socially-responsible and environmentally-minded citizen. To deepen awareness of the complexity of environmental problems and the pressing need for novel solutions, the Sustainability Pathway curriculum addresses such questions as: how can societies be vital, while maintaining healthy ecosystems and creating strong and just economies? How has the natural world shaped our political, social, and economic systems? How can human innovations and commitment repair ecological damage and lead to a shift in problem solving? This course of study intentionally links the perspectives of multiple academic disciplines around the concept of sustainability, emphasizing systems thinking to address global issues, examining barriers and potential solutions to climate change, natural resource management, and ecosystem restoration. Sustainable behaviors flow from knowledgeable, participatory citizens with an intra-generational awareness of the connections and interdependencies among equitable societies, vital economies, human innovation, and the goods and services provided by stable global ecosystems.

HNRS 203I Virtue 3.0 SP GE WI
Prerequisite: Admission to the Honors Program
. This seminar starts by exploring how the appreciation of virtue developed historically, and what various philosophers, religious traditions, and historians have assumed and argued about virtue. In the last part of the course, we focus on the way that American society and Americans think about virtue; why it is so important to them; how their views are shaped by politics, religion, cultural identity, and gender concerns; and how specific virtues are emphasized or respected in specific contexts (medicine and nursing, war, childrearing, business). We close with recent theoretical reflections on virtue in the social and natural sciences. Beginning in the 17th century and moving into the 19th, the emerging natural and social sciences began to bring their insights and tools to bear on the study of human nature and the related concern with morality and virtue. When combined with the move away from more traditional, religious, and "commensense" world views and into more secular societies, a heated debate on the nature of virtue and the argument about which virtues to affirm and commend to people really started shifting. We'll look at this more recent move, and bring it into the 20th century with recent insights provided by sociobiology and cultural anthropology. 1.5 hours lecture, 1.5 hours seminar.This is an approved Writing Intensive course.

Temporarily disable SELinux in Fedora.
I know, I know, most Fedora users probably are giving me the evil eye as they read this, but I find this tip useful when something on my desktop machine isn't behaving properly and I want to see if it's SELinux causing the behaviour, or if I want to stop the security for I one time only test.
For example, when migrating some of our unit tests, some virus scanning unit tests were failing, as this was a test I don't run on my Desktop except on this occasion, it was simply easier to disable SELinux while I run the test.. it ran fine, so I could turn it back on, and tick it off my list.
By disable I actually mean put SELinux into passive mode, which allows everything, but still logs problems.
Hmm, do a lot of Fedora users use SELinux? Or just Fedora users at the NAA?
Well SELinux is turned on my default on a Fedora 12 install.


Mustard belongs to the same family as cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, turnips, and radishes. Though not extensively studied, it's possible for those with a mustard allergy to also be sensitive to one of the aforementioned vegetables.
HERE is a comprehensive guide to managing mustard allergies!
Some medicines have sulfites, so it's important to read the label and talk to your doctor about potential complications.
Sulfites are food additives used to preserve food. They reduce microbial spoilage, slow browning of fruit/vegetables/seafood, and act as antioxidant, among other uses.
Literature suggests that those with asthma are at an increased risk for sulfite sensitivity, especially those who are steroid-dependent. This appears to be more common for adults than children.
Reactions include swelling, hives, and wheezing, though cases of anaphylaxis have also been reported.
Sulfites are considered a top allergen in the UK.
Look out for these ingredients on a label: sulfur dioxide, potassium bisulfite, potassium metabisulfite, sodium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite, sodium sulfite, calcium sulfite, calcium bisulfite.
Beverages: wine, beer, vinegar, bottle lemon/lime juice, grape juice, cordials, some soda, instant tea.
Foods: dried fruits and vegetables, pickled foods, dried potatoes, mustard, tofu, salad dressings, fresh/frozen crustaceans, maraschino cherries.
Gerbs Dried Fruit is sulfite-free!

OffLimits Cereal Brand Launches With Female Mascot
Published July 10, 2020 at 4:58 AM EDT
A number of major food brands have been rethinking their outdated corporate mascots - Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, Mrs. Butterworth. At the same time, a group of young entrepreneurs have set out to create new breakfast cereal characters that reflect this moment. NPR's Mandalit del Barco reports.
MANDALIT DEL BARCO, BYLINE: Emily Elyse Miller says the new cereal she and her team created, OffLimits, has brand mascots unlike any other. Dash is a high-strung, high-achieving female bunny.
EMILY ELYSE MILLER: In an '80s-style power suit with sneakers. She's a K-pop fan, a workaholic.
DEL BARCO: And, she says, Dash has a lot of anxiety to deal with.
MILLER: So her cereal turns the milk to cold brew and has coffee and chocolate.
DEL BARCO: Zombie is just the opposite, a lazy dude who looks like he just rolled out of bed to eat his mellow cereal.
MILLER: There's adaptogens, pandan, vanilla - so everything you need to mellow out.
DEL BARCO: Miller, a 29-year-old food writer, is all about breakfast. In fact, she wrote "Breakfast," a cookbook. And she created the BreakfastClub, walking tours of New York restaurants. Her latest venture, OffLimits cereal, also seems to appeal to millennials. Miller's hoping they might relate to Zombie, who has a bit of Bart Simpson, or Dash, more of a Lisa Simpson.
MILLER: The whole brand is really run by these emotionally unstable and extreme cartoon characters.
DEL BARCO: Dash and Zombie are a far cry from the buff, confident cereal mascot Tony the Tiger.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #1: (As Tony the Tiger) They're great.
DEL BARCO: Dash is not the first female cereal character. In the early 1950s, Kellogg's Sugar Frosted Flakes was repped, for a short time, by Katy the Kangaroo, who wore a bandana and carried her baby in her pouch.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #2: (As Katy the Kangaroo, singing) I'm Katy the Kangaroo. I hop and skip and bounce around. You'd think I was elastic. And with these frosted flakes of corn, I trip the light fantastic.
UNIDENTIFIED MUSICAL GROUP: (Singing) New flakes, frosted flakes - Kellogg's Sugar Frosted Flakes.
DEL BARCO: Kellogg's ultimately bounced Katy the Kangaroo for Tony the Tiger, also dropping sugar from its name. Fast forward to 2020, where cold and hot cereals are a more than $20 billion industry in the U.S., according to market data firm Statista, with sales expected to grow. To succeed, cereal brands have to be nostalgic, healthy or have more modern mascots, says analyst Melissa Abbott.
MELISSA ABBOTT: There is a demand for something completely different that isn't, you know, masculine, Tony the Tiger, macho.
DEL BARCO: Abbott is vice president of culinary insights at the Hartman Group. She says cereal is not just a breakfast food. New brands are promo'd on podcasts and purchased online. Abbott says OffLimits and another new cereal brand, Magic Spoon, appeal to a different aesthetic.
ABBOTT: These characters that are going to win, essentially, today, particularly in the breakfast category, they have to contain more of this multi-dimensional take on the human personality, the flaws and all.
DEL BARCO: Abbott says consumers might like that OffLimits' characters were designed by artist Shepard Fairey's studio. Now the question is, will they go for coffee-flavored cereal repped by a stressed-out bunny in a power suit?

Halloween 1969: San Jose State College
GRATEFUL DEAD BRING LIVE MUSIC TO LIVELY SJS HALLOWEEN FLING
This Friday evening SJS is having its own "trick-or-treat," when it brings out The Grateful Dead to play in the College Union Ballroom.
The Grateful Dead, pioneers of the San Francisco sound, will be making their first appearance at SJS Halloween night.
"The Dead" have added a little country to their blues and psychedelic elements, and the blend works well, according to people who saw them last weekend at Winterland.
"The Dead," whose music has what many people term a euphoric effect, will play two sets, a total of one and a half to two hours. It is hoped that they will play some of their more famous sets which range from straight country, as in "Mama Tried," to the blues encore, "Good Morning Little School Girl." In the former, bass guitarist Phil Lesch produces a good country vocal sound, and in the latter, Ron (Pig Pen) McKernan is at his vocal best.
Lead guitarist Jerry Garcia also has a good set as does organist Tom Constante and rhythm guitarist Bob Weir. The dependable work of drummers William Kreutzman and Mickey Hart is ideal in the country tunes.
Accompanying "The Dead" will be the far out sounds of the "Experimental Flash." In addition, two color horror films will be shown, "Billy the Kid vs. Dracula" and "Godzilla vs. The Thing." Both films will be shown silently behind the bands.
The dance will be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. and admission is $2 for students and $3 for the public. Tickets are on sale in [the] Student Affairs Business Office, located on the second level of the College Union.
(by Marty Pastula, from the Spartan Daily, San Jose State College, 29 October 1969)
BANDS TO PLAY AT MASKED BALL IN COLLEGE UNION
The Grateful Dead and Southbay Experimental Flash will perform at 9 p.m. tonight in the College Union to a masked audience.
In keeping with the theme of Halloween, the College Union Program Board (which is sponsoring the dance) has asked that all those attending tonight's dance wear masks.
It is hoped that the debut of The Grateful Dead at SJS will be a pace-setter for future "name groups," according to [the] CUPB student director.
The CUPB will provide masks for those who "forget their disguises."
Tickets are still available in the Student Affairs Business office. [...]
[The] CUPB director added that in case it gets too warm, there will be "bobbing for apples" as refreshing but perhaps "ghostly" fun.

Dead Sources returns! I'll be posting a bunch of articles from 1971 soon - but first, a few new discoveries.
The Spartan Daily was the campus paper at San Jose State, and ran a couple announcements for this show. Unfortunately there was no later review of the show (and no eyewitness accounts that I've found), but it sounds like a fun evening, with a masked audience, monster movies, and apple-bobbing!
The first piece isn't very well-written, but gives an interesting look at how the Dead were seen in late '69. The Dead's music is said to have "a euphoric effect." The author's heard from other show-goers that "the Dead have added a little country" to their set, but this is a positive turn: "the blend works well." He even names Mama Tried as a highlight (though mistaking the singer) and says the two-drummer approach is "ideal in the country tunes."
Pigpen, alas, didn't sing Schoolgirl for the San Jose student crowd, but they did get a half-hour Lovelight.
The New Riders had played in the same ballroom a couple weeks earlier, on 10/17/69. Here's the announcement from the 10/16 Spartan Daily:
"TWO BANDS TO APPEAR FOR ONE DANCE
"Riders of the Purple Sage," with special guest appearances by Jerry Garcia and Mickey Hart of the "Grateful Dead," will be one of two bands playing tomorrow night in the new College Union on Ninth Street.
A dance, sponsored by the College Union Program Board, will feature "Sage" and "The Fourth Way," with guest appearances by members of the Charles Lloyd Quartet and John Handy's group.
The dance will be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. in the ballroom, on the third level of the College Union. Admission will be $1.50 for students, and $2 for the general public. There will be no pre-sale; all tickets will be sold at the door."
[The 'guest appearances' were, of course, regular members of the groups.]

A friend sent me a link a few days ago to the latest and greatest NLP and hypnosis scam.
Now, I am used to hype in the NLP world, which is why our motto at the iNLP Center is NLP without the Hype.
Essentially, unethical NLP trainers and hypnosis "masters" want you to think they are God and can teach you to do things that you will never be able to do (neither can they).
You get caught in the hype, give them your hard earned money, and naively attend the seminar. A week later, the only thing you have gained is an emptier wallet and (hopefully) a wiser radar for scams.
I've written before about the disgusting lies some NLP trainers tell to get your money. This dark side of NLP is something that anyone interested in NLP training needs to watch out for.
This latest NLP and hypnosis scam is so over the top that I just had to share it with you. Note: I am NOT linking to their scammy site, but the words here are verbatim.
I made some comments below each claim in (parentheses).
Why you should ONLY be put into a trance by someone you trust…this could save your life.
The #1 secret to getting people to commit acts against their will.
The skills and strategies that will turn someone into your very own HYPNO-SPY…giving you complete control over their mind and body.
I repeat. I did not make this stuff up. People, right now, are selling expensive seminars to teach you how to do this. Of course, THEY don't know how to do it, but they obviously believe they can fool you into giving them your money.
At best, they will follow up with a dog and pony show that is nothing but smoke and mirrors. At worst, they will disappear and no such seminar will ever take place and you will never see your money again.
If you are interested in this type of training – if it has appeal to you, I invite you to get off my email list and never return to my website.
We have zero tolerance for greedy, power hungry fools and the iNLP Center. Their scams have compromised the field of legitimate NLP and hypnosis.
I can hear your questions: Wait, are these things possible? Can this really be done?
Yes, you can persuade people to violate their values, but it does not require hypnosis. Ever heard of peer pressure, blackmail and bribery? There are a thousand ways to get people to do what they think is wrong and if you want to focus your energy in that direction – go elsewhere.
Yes, you can brainwash people into doing your will. Ever heard of cults? Jim Jones?
Of course, victims of cult tactics offer up their will and make themselves vulnerable. They participate. When you have a willing participant, it doesn't require hypnosis to persuade them.
That would be fun. The guru would sweat bricks. Of course, they would never choose me as a demonstration subject. Neither would a stage hypnotist.
Stay away from NLP scams. If you are considering NLP training, call your would-be trainer and get a sense of who he is as a person. See if he will tell you the truth and help you learn real skills for your own ethical purpose.
By the way, if you have desires for unlimited power, then you should really look at the underlying and pervasive sense of helplessness that you have buried. That's your opportunity for healing and happiness.

Home Columnist Room 433: Transfer rumours
Room 433: Transfer rumours
Cameron Eyles
It's January so you know what that means: only one month until Alan Partridge finally makes his triumphant return to the BBC!
Unfortunately, that is not the subject of this article as we need to induct something from the world of football into Room 433, a concept completely dissimilar to BBC's Room 101. January is also the time of the year for the bizarrely-named January transfer window and all the rumours that go with it. These rumours can at times border on the ridiculous and it's about time they were brought to task and that's exactly what I intend to do.
Long-time readers of Room 433 (well done if you've managed to stick with me this long) will remember I inducted the transfer window as a whole into the room back in the heady days of August 2018. Now, yes, while the transfer window as a whole irks me (as do many things such as that one time when Norwich's home kit was green and yellow but their away kit was yellow and green – ludicrous) it is the rumours bounced around on social media that I'm particularly concerned with today.
Now I'm partial to the BBC Sport gossip column as the next men – indeed I'm sure Ronnie Dog Media give you loads of great transfer news (you never know who might be reading) – yet some of the so-called ITKers (that stands for in the know – one for the kids) seem to be able go on Twitter and claim they've got a reliable rumour from a club source and people seem to take it as gospel.
I have no doubt that some of these individuals probably do genuinely know the assistant manager's wife's dog's cousin who feeds them all their valuable information, however, equally, I imagine a lot of them go online to spew some absolute nonsense. I mean how am I really meant to trust a man hiding behind a cartoon mole for reliable transfer news, although to be fair he is one of the more reliable ones.
Moreover, football feels like its just dominated by transfers these days. Can anybody realistically say they started following football because they love a good transfer rumour? No, you started watching football because it's an entertaining game to watch, a fun game to play, a great way to spend time with mates and buy overpriced alcohol at football stadiums. The point is there's more to football than transfer rumours so let's actually enjoy the game instead.

This is a numbers matching car. Every piece that could be restored was used. Where minor pitting had occurred on things like brackets, they were cleaned and repainted. Pitts were not filled to show the true condition of each piece. All factory markings and tags have been restored. The owner did a great job on all of the details. My job was to give him a beautiful, straight body to build around. Just another great project to be part of.


FIDELITY Bank has opened a digital branch on the campuses of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science Technology (KNUST), Kumasi.
The new branch is to serve students, staff and residents with quality banking services in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere and adds to the more than 75 branches of Fidelity Bank across the country.
Inaugurating the new branch, the Divisional Director, Corporate and Investment Banking of Fidelity Bank, Mr Kwabena Boateng, stated that "the move is part of the bank's objective to get closer to the youth and students in Kumasi and provide better customer experience to our numerous clients.
According to Mr Boateng, the bank had also introduced an e-lounge to facilitate a convenient, self-service experience to the students and the academic body of the university.
Again, he said in enhancing the customer experience for the wider community, a priority service for lecturers and the student administration had also been provided. "That is, a salaried account package that allows lecturers and administrators to access loans and salary advances," he explained.
Mr Boateng said the bank had collaborated with its lifestyle partners to give huge discounts ranging from 0-15 per cent to customers who use the Fidelity Visa Cards to transact business with selected service providers such as Delta Airlines, Appolonia City and Exotic Trends Salon among many others.
The Pro-Vice Chancellor of KNUST, Mrs Rita Dickson, commended Fidelity Bank for supplying the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly with over 500 dustbins last year and appealed to the bank to support the university's 'Let there be Light Campaign' to provide light at every corner of the university.
"We believe that the presence of Fidelity Bank will definitely leave an indelible mark on the landscape of this campus just as they have done in other parts of the country," she stated.


Up until now, Instagram has kept to itself and developed its products internally but they have finally acquired a startup to enhance their offerings. Instagram acquired a video sharing application called Luma according to early reports Friday which have since been confirmed by Facebook.
Luma is currently in the process of shutting down and all users will be unable to access the current application on December 31, 2013 but until then, people can still use Luma if they have downloaded it already. Luma's video sharing, capture, and stabilization features have been very popular and some sources have suggested that aspects of the service are already live within Instagram.
In a way, Luma was offering a similar service to what Instagram does but with videos instead of photos, so the acquisition makes a lot of sense. Instead of simply sharing a video, Luma allowed amateur videographers to improve the look and style of their videos with minimal effort.
The stabilization aspect of Luma is likely to be the most important for Instagram as they can use it to improve their own video app. Luma's technology has allowed it to gain a significant amount of attention as a relatively unknown startup. It was named one of the top 10 startups coming from the Y Combinator Winter 2012 event.
Photo and video applications are quickly becoming some of the most popular types of apps on the market with success stories such as Vine and Instagram. The photo sector is heavily saturated but there is still room for impressive video sharing apps which Facebook has a chance to takeover with Instagram.
For those of you that have already been using Luma, the service has provided a link which will allow users to download their videos for safe keeping. Anyone that has not yet used the app will be unable to do so, now that Luma has been completely removed from the iOS app store.


After two years of stay in prison, human rights activists, Daniel Bekele and Netsanet Demissie have been sentenced to two and a half years prison on Wednesday 26 December.
They are reportedly to be freed since the two activists have served two/third of their sentence. Local newspapers indicated that the presiding judge excluded himself from the verdict saying Daniel and Netsanet were free of charge.
Contrary to the annoucements of that they would walk free in few days, reliable sources revealed that their release could be delayed up to four months by the court.

It is quite easy to identify the Islamophobia of Donald Trump and many on the right. The "Muslim Ban," manufactured rage about sharia law, Muslim registries… these things are quite simple to get worked up about. Civil rights organizations, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, rightly point these things out and criticize them roundly.
But these things are not our main problem. We can build coalitions against such in-your-face bigotry (one of the positive offshoots of Trump, if I'm looking for any). Countering blatant Islamophobia is necessary. But it is not a brave exercise. The challenge is how to deal with the latent sort, the brand of Islamophobia that cloaks itself in liberalism.
We all remember Hillary Clinton pronouncing in presidential debates that we need "to work with American Muslim communities who are on the front lines to identify and prevent attacks." She went further, telling us that "we need American Muslims to be part of our eyes and ears on our front lines." Her liberal framing of Muslims solely in terms of national security and their usefulness in the fight against "terrorism" is in many ways more dangerous than blatant Trumpian Islamophobia, mainly because it is more difficult to identify, while being just as treacherous.
We all remember Clint Eastwood's widely lauded "American Sniper," a film that basically consisted of a white American serviceman shooting Muslims for two hours. It was our country's highest grossing film of 2014 to the tune of $350 million. The main character's moral crisis was when he labored over whether or not to shoot a child (spoiler alert: he did). It was nominated for five Oscars and celebrated by the American left.
Sam Harris and Bill Maher serve as the intellectual, pop-culture kings of this liberal strand of Islamophobia. Last Friday, Harris sat down with Maher to discuss jihadism, Islamism, terrorism, and all things related. Harris started out with, "We have to win a war of ideas with the Muslim world." This is the go-to mantra of those who believe in the tired idea of a "clash of civilizations." In other words, that Islam is, per se, incompatible with "Western"/American life.
Guys, by the way, this "clash of civilizations" stuff is so dated. Anyone who still talks in those terms might as well be wearing an Ed Hardy t-shirt.
Harris went to say that Muslim world needs to rid itself of the stain of extremism, and that "only secular, liberal, and former Muslims can police this for us." In other words, only Muslims far from anything traditional, or better yet those who have rejected the faith altogether, can save Islam. "For us," of course.
He used the way-out-of-style catchphrase "moderate Muslims." "We need to reach out to them." Maher, of course, ate it all up, adding, "We are never going to defeat terrorism is we don't reform Islam." He added his own colorful analysis of Muslim societies, with some really insightful commentary on female Islamic wear, telling us that "Muslims blame women for men's horniness." Of course, patriarchy and misogyny are not the exclusive domains of any one society, and they are surely not foreign to America. Brock Turner, anyone?
Let me talk about this "moderate Muslims" trope for a second. There is never any recognition by anyone who uses it that "moderate Muslim" means something totally different to a Muslim than it does to Harris and Maher. In fact, the "moderate Muslims" Harris is attempting to refer to (I think), namely activists, intellectuals, opposition figures, secularists, don't use the term at all. Except Harris uses the term, he invokes people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, individuals who have rejected the faith and culture altogether.
Ultimately, what Harris and Maher are saying is that the problem with the Muslim world is, simply, Islam. This is reductionist, undeveloped, and just plain stupid. It demonstrates a blatant ignorance of any history of Islam or the Arab world. And this should not be surprising, as neither has any advanced degrees in the area. Harris is a neuroscientist, and Maher is Maher. They are not not scholars of the subject, self-taught or otherwise. And it shows. Maher's simplistic discussions of the hijab and Harris' facile paradigm of Muslims as jihadists, Islamists, and conservatives display a juvenile misunderstanding of Muslims and their sensibilities.
But what's most damaging is that these two are celebrated as sophisticated, enlightened commentators, as liberal critics of Islam. Hey guys, I like my whiskey. I eat bacon sometimes (I'm American, after all). A sheikh would not approve of many of my lifestyle choices. I can diagnose all the individual ills of the Arab/Muslim world that you can. I see the need for reform. I hate ISIS (I thought I would just say that for the record). I see myself as part of the greater Muslim fabric. I'm a secular liberalist who dislikes religion in governance. But I can never get on board on with you.
As long as you continue to assert that the problem with my homeland is my heritage itself, you're just blowing hot air. When it comes to talking about Islam or the Arab world, it's amateur hour with you two. It's almost as if you've never read reformers like Ali Shariati, Fatima Mernissi, and the like, who have invoked the egalitarian traditions of Arab and Muslim societies as the way forward. To paraphrase Bill Clinton, I believe that there is nothing wrong with my people that cannot be fixed by what's right with my people. And I'm not alone. So, if your objective is to get leftie Arabs like me on your side, you're failing terribly. If your goal is to talk about about my people in no more advanced terms than Donald Trump, then you're doing a great job.
Great analysis of a typical anti-Islam Maher segment! Maher clearly hates every religion but doesn't dare to attack mainstream Christianity or – Jahwe forbid – Judaism head-on lest he be punished by the Christian and Jewish elite. Ridiculing Islam is a safe move: By attacking a religion that, although being based on the Judeo-Christian principals, is vilified by both self-proclaimed defenders of Christendom and Zionist Jews alike – makes both the atheist and the "religious" lefties happy. Inviting Sam Harris who opines that "Islam is especially belligerent and inimical to the norms of civil discourse" was a logical move. I thought the conversation was pseudo-scientific, with the PhD Harris lecturing the subservient student Maher, who tried his best to occasionally throw in a smart remark to prove that his pot-smoking head was still functioning. I think Maher should stick to what he is pretty good at, which is satirical criticism of government – although I believe that other comedians have long surpassed him in cleverness and wit. But I know he just won't be able to resist any opportunity to use his position to attack and ridicule faith in general and Islam in particular.
Bill Maher is an idiot. He got popular because he said stupid things that sound intelligent and unique. I remember when you were on Bill Maher's show, my Mom was so proud of you.
Sam Harris is on point.
Tell me what is the egalitarian traditions in Islam that is the way forward. the way forward is in fact less Islam.
You even say you drink alcohol and eat pork, don't you consider this rejection of Muhammad's Islam?
What else in Muhammad's Islam you reject? looting other people with different religions? taking war slaves? Marrying 11 women? Killing critics? stonning adulteress? lashing people for drinking?etc.
Religion is not your heritage, it is set of ideas, and way of life. And you are already rejecting it and moving away from it because you don't live the way Muhammed was or follow his instructions.
Sam Harris or Ayaan Hirsi Ali are saying what you already is doing by moving away from Islam and Muhammad's commands.
They are just not hypocrites. they preach what they do.

Flow Battery Funding: Vionx Teams With Siemens, UTC, 3M, Starwood and Jabil
Energy Storage Systems wins $3.2 million in early-stage VC for "all-iron" flow battery.
Eric Wesoff October 07, 2015
Flow battery technology might be gaining on its potential of delivering long-duration energy storage at lower costs than lithium-ion batteries. Flow batteries hold the promise of 10-hour durations, 10,000 cycles, minimal degradation and no limitations on depth of discharge.
These energy-storage systems pump electrolyte through stacks of electrochemical cells. It's one of the few battery formats that might be capable of affordably storing energy for multiple hours at a time. And it's that potential for economical, long-duration energy storage that has lured VC investment and R&D -- but so far, the investment has yielded very few commercial, competitive flow battery products.
Today, however, two flow battery startups are reporting new funding and new strategic directions as this high-potential technology looks to win a larger share of the growing energy storage pie.
"All-iron" flow battery wins VC funding
Energy Storage Systems of Portland, Oregon just closed a series A round of $3.2 million led by Pangaea Ventures along with Element 8 and other angel investors, with the aim of commercializing its "all-iron" flow battery. ESS has also been awarded approximately $4.5 million in grants from ARPA-E, the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute, and Oregon Best.
ESS claims its distinction and path to lower levelized cost of energy is the use of a low-cost and readily available electrolyte based on iron, salt and water. Like most flow batteries, the ESS product is focused on applications that require more than four hours of energy capacity and many cycles, with the goal of time-shifting bulk energy from wind, solar and other generation sources. The initial product from ESS will be a 125-kilowatt, 1-megawatt-hour flow battery.
Andrew Haughian, partner at Pangaea Ventures, told GTM, "We really think that the long-duration market is the huge opportunity in energy storage. We think that the short-duration markets that are going full steam right now are just the tip of the iceberg."
Craig Evans is CEO of the company, and Julia Song is CTO. Both worked at former fuel-cell aspirant ClearEdge Power.
There are 76 flow battery projects big enough for the DOE to take note of, about half of which are operational, for a current grand total of about 20 megawatts, according to the agency's energy storage database. Another 50 or 60 megawatts are listed as under construction or announced. Many of these are demonstration projects.
GTM Research expects the U.S. to deploy 220.3 megawatts of energy storage in 2015 -- predominantly utility-scale and predominantly based on lithium-ion batteries.

Vionx aims to create an ecosystem
Boston-based Vionx Energy (formerly Premium Power) was founded in 2002 and recently raised about $58 million from VantagePoint and Starwood Energy. Bobby Kennedy Jr. is on the board.
Vionx just announced an "ecosystem" of firms to launch and commercialize its flow batteries. Six companies -- UTC, Starwood Energy Group, Siemens, 3M, Vantage Point Capital Partners and Jabil -- are looking to "license, finance, manufacture and deploy the energy storage system." The Vionx vanadium flow storage system was developed by researchers at UTC. Siemens will serve as the EPC for future projects.
David Vieau, Vionx's CEO and former CEO of lithium-ion battery maker A123 Systems, told GTM that when it comes to utility and power customers, "Everything they do is about 20 to 30 years, not five years."
Ravi Manghani, GTM's senior storage analyst, notes, "Lithium-ion battery technology hits a limit at four hours. If there is any value in long-duration storage, flow batteries can deliver energy for up to six or 10 hours. Emerging battery technologies such as zinc-aqueous could also compete with flow batteries on a long-duration, cost-per-kilowatt basis. Where flow batteries underperform is in efficiency, with an energy-in to energy-out ratio in the mid 70-percent range, compared to the mid-to-high 90-percent ranges for the best lithium-ion cells."
"The magic is in the electrolyte," said Manghani.
GTM Squared, GTM's new premium service, is taking a deeper look at flow batteries in a just-published first installment of a three-part series.

Q: NotificationCompat.Builder setVibrate is not vibrating at all on Android Here is the code:
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH;
    NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, name, importance);
    channel.setDescription(description);
    channel.setVibrationPattern(new long[]{ 200,200,200,200 });
    channel.enableVibration(true);
    // Register the channel with the system; you can't change the importance
    // or other notification behaviors after this
    NotificationManager notificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
    notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);

NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext(), CHANNEL_ID)
                        .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.icon)
                        .setContentTitle("example")
                        .setContentText("example")
                        .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT);

                NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(getApplicationContext());

                int min = 1;
                int max = 1000;
                double notificationIdD = Math.random()*(max - min + 1)+min;
                int notificationId = (int) notificationIdD;
                notificationManager.notify(notificationId, builder.build());

I already added VIBRATE uses-permission in AndroidManifest.xml so I have no idea on what to do. I also checked other similar questions but no solution work but the one that suggests the following hack:
Vibrator v = (Vibrator) this.context.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
// Vibrate for 500 milliseconds
v.vibrate(500);

However, this hack doesn't work when the app is in background and I need the phone to vibrate also in that case. Any help will be appreciated! :)

Justia › US Law › Case Law › North Dakota Case Law › North Dakota Supreme Court Decisions › 1985 › McWethy v. McWethy
McWethy v. McWethy
Barbara McWETHY, Plaintiff and Appellant, v. John Patrick McWETHY, Defendant and Appellee.
Civ. No. 10844.
*797 Ella Van Berkom, Minot, for the plaintiff and appellant.
John Patrick McWethy, pro se.
MESCHKE, Justice.
Barbara Jean McWethy divorced John Patrick McWethy by judgment entered on December 9, 1981. The judgment placed custody of the two children with Barbara, ordered Patrick to pay $150 per month per child as support, divided property, allocated debts, and ordered Patrick to pay $150 per month alimony for 36 months as well as $750 for attorney's fees to Barbara. Notice of entry of the judgment was given on December 14, 1981. An amended judgment was entered on December 30, 1981, and notice of entry of the amended judgment was given on January 5, 1982. No appeal was taken from the judgment or the amended judgment.
*798 The trial judge then disqualified himself, and Judge Jon R. Kerian was assigned to hear further proceedings. On February 18, 1982, Patrick moved to modify the alimony and property division terms of the divorce decree. This motion was denied, after hearing, on April 30, 1982. On September 28, 1982, after a hearing on an order to show cause why Patrick should not be held in contempt for failure to pay child support and alimony, the trial court entered an order requiring Patrick to "make all payments heretofore ordered by the Court for child support and alimony," and further, "on its own motion does order in the divorce action a hearing to redetermine the issue of child support and alimony." The hearing "to redetermine" was held on December 14, 1982, but there has been no decision on it.
On June 20, 1983, Barbara moved for a money judgment against Patrick for $6,720.09 in arrearages on support, alimony and amounts due under the divorce judgment. She also sought an order that this amount be paid to her out of Patrick's entitlement to a one-half share of the net proceeds from prospective sale of the residence. Barbara's supporting affidavit showed that Patrick was in arrears in the amount of $1,150 in child support, $2,250 in alimony, and $750 in partial attorney's fees, and that Barbara had paid $2,269.09 of debts which Patrick had been ordered to pay. This motion was heard, but again it has not been decided. We were informed at oral argument that the residence has not been sold.
On September 13, 1984, Patrick filed pro se a "Motion For A Retrial," reciting that he "has been and has admitted to being in contempt of court," complaining about the unfairness of the divorce decree, claiming that he "is financially ruined," and seeking "a retrial and a revised court order that will be fair, equitable and reasonable." There is nothing in the record to show that notice of this "Motion" was given to Barbara or to her counsel of record.
Nevertheless, on September 25, 1984, Judge Kerian entered an order granting a new trial "in the above entitled matter," and "further, this Court recuses himself in presiding over said action and believes a Judge out of Minot should preside." Prior to filing of the notice of appeal, a new judge was designated by the Supreme Court to preside in the case.
Barbara appeals the order granting new trial. We reverse.
Judicial decision on motion of one party, without notice to and opportunity to be heard by the other party, is contrary to fundamental principles of justice and due process, except under exigent or special circumstances with reasonably prompt subsequent notice and opportunity to be heard. No exigent or special circumstances are apparent in this case.
Rule 5(a), N.D.R.Civ.P. mandates:
"Except as otherwise provided in these rules ... every written motion other than one which may be heard ex parte,... shall be served upon each of the parties." [Emphasis added.]
Rule 6(d) requires timely notice of hearing of a motion to be served. Subdivision (b) of Rule 5 spells out how that service is made, and subdivision (f) states how proof of that service is made. Rule 59(e) is explicit that on motions for new trial, "... a notice of hearing of the motion must be given."
This record is barren of any proof that notice of Patrick's pro se "Motion For A Retrial" was served upon Barbara or her attorney of record. It is a fundamental duty of a trial court to assure that basic rules of procedure are followed. And, rules cannot be applied differently merely because a party not learned in the law is acting pro se; Hennebry v. Hoy, 343 N.W.2d 87 (N.D.1983).
This order is not in keeping with any continuing jurisdiction of a trial court over some aspects of divorce judgments, such as property distribution, child support, and spousal support; N.D.C.C. § 14-05-24. First, this order did not limit the issues on a new trial, and thus went beyond any concept of continuing jurisdiction. Without qualification, it granted a motion "for a new trial in the above entitled proceeding." *799 Further, it is well established that continuing jurisdiction of a trial court over those aspects of marital dissolution decrees is to be exercised prospectively on a reasoned and principled basis for good cause, such as material change of circumstances. Aabye v. Aabye, 292 N.W.2d 92 (N.D.1980), Bridgeford v. Bridgeford, 281 N.W.2d 583 (N.D.1979). And, of course, proceedings on continuing jurisdiction should follow procedures prescribed by the Rules of Civil Procedure for notice and hearing.
Nor, can this order be viewed as relief from a judgment under Rule 60, N.D. R.Civ.P. No clerical mistake, oversight, or omission in the judgment or amended judgment was claimed, so action under Rule 60(a) was not appropriate. Aabye v. Aabye, supra, at 95. No qualifying grounds, such as mistake, inadvertence, surprise, excusable neglect, recently discovered evidence, fraud, or lack of jurisdiction, were set out so as to justify consideration under Rule 60(b) to relieve Patrick from the final amended judgment; Jostad v. Jostad, 285 N.W.2d 583 (N.D.1979); Bridgeford v. Bridgeford, supra. And, even if this motion were viewed as seeking relief under 60(b), "the procedure for obtaining relief from a judgment must be by motion as prescribed in these rules;" Rule 60(b). "These rules" require notice and hearing.
The principle of administration of justice underlying this opinion was well expressed by Justice Stevens of the United States Supreme Court, in another context:
"Judges, more than most, should understand the value of adherence to settled procedures. By adopting a set of fair procedures, and then adhering to them, courts of law ensure that justice is administered with an even hand. `These are subtle matters, for they concern the ingredients of what constitutes justice.'" United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. ___, ___, 104 S. Ct. 3405, 3448, 82 L. Ed. 2d 677, 724 (1984) (Stevens, J., dissenting.)
Since this "Order Granting New Trial" was made without following settled procedures requiring notice and opportunity to be heard, it is reversed and the amended judgment is reinstated. Since the trial judge who made this order simultaneously recused himself without deciding other pending motions, it will be up to the judge subsequently designated by this Court to complete them as well as to conduct any further proceedings in this case.
ERICKSTAD, C.J., and LEVINE, VANDE WALLE and GIERKE, JJ., concur.

Every day Poets & Writers Magazine scans the headlines—from publishing reports to academic announcements to literary dispatches—for all the news that creative writers need to know. Here are today's stories:
"Perhaps adults relate to the overarching themes and allegories that fuel so many graphic interpretations of larger-than-life superheroes." Writer Tara Betts considers the unexpected intersection of poetry and comics. (Ploughshares)
Speaking of poetry's intersections, Frank O'Hara's 1964 book Lunch Poems influenced Man Men creator Matthew Weiner's creative vision for the acclaimed show. An audiobook of Weiner performing Lunch Poems is out today from Audible. (BookRiot)
An essay at Public Books examines how Dana Spiotta's new novel, Innocents and Others, as well as recent feminist novels by Lauren Groff and Elena Ferrante, explore the problem of creative influence. "If men have viewed their creativity as self-generated and self-sufficient, then a feminist theory might imagine creativity as dispersed and relational, emerging through others as much as from the self."

As you make changes locally, Git can "see" them. However, figuratively speaking, they're out of the box. If you were to try and make a commit at this point, Git wouldn't have anything to commit.
Here's how to relate the box analogy to some basic Git operations.
git config --global user.name "Jonathan Irvin"
You create a seal that you will use for each box. It has your full name on it. Not a username or a screen name. That would be silly. You laugh to yourself at the silliness.
git config --global user.email "jonathan@notmyemail.com"
You add your email address to your seal. Would be useful should someone need to contact you about the contents...or yell at you. You know, business as usual.
You build your desk and keep an infinite supply of boxes underneath the surface to place work items in for storage.
The moment you perform an add command, you're adding to the box. Yes, grab a box. Any box. Put something in it. You've just done a git add.
Pick up the box and put it on a shelf away from your desk. Your desk is clean, but your items are still easily accessible.
Take the box off of the shelf and empty the contents back on to your desk...neatly. Hopefully, you don't have anything on your desk already or you might have some conflicts!
Take your arm and swiftly swipe all of the shelf contents into the garbage chute. Who needed all of those half-baked ideas anyway?
Take one item out of the box.
Take several grouped items out of the box.
Pour gasoline on the box and light it on fire. Your stuff is now ashes. Gone. Forever.
Tape the box shut. Label it with "message" and put it in storage with other labeled boxes.
Hold a mirror up to the sealed box. Magically, another box is created that appears to be an exact clone, yet completely opposite. You keep the two boxes apart for fear they would cancel each other out. It is the anti-box.
You look at your desk and see items on your desk, in the box, or both.
Now anytime you look at a box, you can't unsee it.
I'm a full-stack cloud-minded engineer who enjoys devops and clean code.
I am just a bit confused about "git revert" and the anti-box. Could you please explain more? Does it mean we have the ability to revert the last commit? After typing "git revert" isn't it reverted automatically?
P.S.: Would love to see a second post with the box analogy explaining more about git!
A git revert will create another commit that is an exact mirror opposite of the commit you are reverting.
In my example, a sealed box is a commit. If you have a commit where you add 2 lines and remove one. The reverted commit will remove 2 lines and add one, effectively nullifying your original change.
This is why I was making the juxtaposition to anti-matter where a commit and a reverted commit combined would be the same as no commit.
But do we have to commit this new anti-box? Or is it pushed automatically?
Whenever you perform a git revert the commit is created automagically for you. You can see it if you perform a git log or use a Git GUI like Sourcetree.
IF you want to make your revert public, you would do a git push and your local repo would be synced with the remote repo, assuming no conflicts with the public repo are present.
Awesome explanation! I'm already quite comfortable with git after a lot of reading and research, but this is the explanation I would've wanted back when I started.
Same as --hard except you preserve ignored files.
the opportunity to only add lines or blocks to a commit is important too. Not just the whole file.
the staging area is also an opportunity to review your changes.
How could you resolve conflict?
Stare at the box. You feel compelled to argue with it. It wins. Every time.
Is Today the Best Time to be a Developer? No...but We're Getting Better.
While working as a developer certainly has its rewards, there are some major issues we need to address.
What tense do you use in Git Commit messages?
