YaSSL does not seem to work with pre-pentium CPUs due to the used assembler opcodes.
1025    integer.cpp: No such file or directory.
"push %%ebx; cpuid; mov %%ebx, %%edi; pop %%ebx"
return value for pre-pentium CPUs?
"Yes, it is a Pentium clone that should be equivalent to Pentium 120 MHz.
"Processor Identification Problems: In addition to programs that won't work with the 6x86, there are those that would work with the 6x86 if only they knew what it was. There is a special instruction called "CPUID" that is used to identify the make and model of the processor. Some programs use this to detect if the computer is running on a Pentium, and will refuse to run (or run in a reduced mode) if they don't find one. These tests were originally used by software requiring a lot of power, to distinguish between Pentiums and 486s (which the software would be too slow to run on). The 6x86 by default does not respond to the "CPUID" instruction so some programs think it is a 486."
Christian, is there a patch?
Per http://www.paradicesoftware.com/specs/cpuid/index.htm Intel's 486's have the instruction (except some early releases). It is various clones (and 386) which miss it.
@Magnus: I do not have a patch.
There is the options the disable X86 assembler by defining TAOCRYPT_DISABLE_X86ASM when building. But that is not somthing we will do.
You can download the source code for our SSL library yaSSL from http://www.yassl.com/ unpack it on the Pentium machine and try to run the testsuite. Then submit a patch.
What is needed is apparently a check wheter the "cpuid" instruction is supported or not. But before writing that code it's best to check that it would work by making the 'IsP4' function return false. That will install the PentiumOptimized functions.
Will be fixed as soon as version 1.4.4 if yaSSL has been imported. See below commit mail.
yaSSL crashed on pre-Pentium Intel CPUs.
Please check this again, according to the original (Debian) bug reported MySQL 5.0.32 still crashes on his old PC. Below is his recent E-Mail.
> exactly the same then we should tell MySQL that their fix did not work.
My /proc/cpuinfo is identical, except I get more bogomips.
I meant ot send this along but I guess I missed it off somehow.
0xb7ea198c <_ZN8TaoCrypt9HaveCpuIdEv+108>:      cpuid  <-- BANG!
Sorry about that. We should double check that the latest yaSSL code really has been used and make a second attempt.
Added a comment to the debian bug but has not heard anything about attempt to download yaSSL and compile on the specific hardware or how we could get access to that machine.
We don't have any such machine.
Checked the Debian bug and apparently the problem has gone away by installing a new server. If the "old" server comes back online we could have a look at it.
Setting this bug back to closed - getting SIGILL in gdb is expected and should be caught by the SIGILL handler when run outside the debugger.
This problem still exists on my 486DX2/66.  My understanding is that all intel 486's before the DX4 lack the cpuid instruction (so anything less than 100MHz, which is probably most of the 486s ever sold).
It turns out that setjmp/longjmp don't save signal context on linux (it does on BSD) which seems to make it fail.  Using sigsetjmp and siglongjmp on the other hand with saving the signal context does work.
With this patch I think you can actually close the bug legitimately.  As it is it is very much still broken.
Since it breaks any program that tries to load libmysql, for my 486 this is a critical bug, which I only encountered when I was upgrading my debian system to Etch, which no longer forces mysql to use the pure C implementation of yassl.
Thanks a lot! I just sent a mail to Todd  at yaSSL about the patch and if he approves I'll import it asap.
So it turns out that there is an official method from intel for detecting the presence of cpuid, and one of the debian developers upon seeing the setjmp/sigill handler provided it instead.  This matches how the linux kernel does the detection and does not involve any signal handlers or other improper methods, but instead simply checks if a specific cpu flag can be changed or not.  This is the new patch which I tested on my 486 where it too works just fine.  This is much cleaner and looks to be the correct way to solve this problem.
-            "push %%ebx; mov $0, %%eax; cpuid; pop %%ebx"
-            : "%eax", "%ecx", "%edx"
Patch commited to upstream yaSSL repository. Will be imported to MySQL 5.0 and up.
!             "push %%ebx; mov $0, %%eax; cpuid; pop %%ebx"
!             : "%eax", "%ecx", "%edx"


Top Level Spectrum plans to make its .feedback domains dirt cheap for domainers during its forthcoming Early Access Period, and is claiming that its domains will be "UDRP-proof".
CEO Jay Westerdal told DI today that the registry will even hire lawyers to defend its registrants if and when UDRP cases arise.
The company has also introduced a new $5,000 "claims" service that is guaranteed to drive the intellectual property community nuts.
.feedback is shaping up to be one of the most fascinating new gTLD launches to date.
The company's original plan, to sell 5,000 trademark-match domains to a single entity after its sunrise period ends has been tweaked.
Now, it will instead offer huge rebates during its Early Access Period next month, which will bring the price to registrants down from as much as $1,815 to as little as $5.
It's called the "Free Speech Partner Program".
To qualify for the program rebate, registrants will have to agree to stick to using TLS's specially designated name servers, which point to a hosted feedback service managed by the registry.
An example of such a site can be seen at donaldtrump.feedback, which is among several US presidential candidate names TLS has registered to itself recently.
That commitment will be passed on if the domain ever changes hands, and a $5,000 fee will be applicable if the registrant wants to switch to their own name servers.
A registry charging a lower fee during EAP than GA is unheard of, but that's what TLS is planning.
Rebates will not be available during the first three days of EAP, which starts January 6 at $14,020 per name. Days two and three see domains priced at $7,020 and $3,520.
From January 9 to January 18, rebates will bring the prices down to $5 per domain.
That's a quarter of the $20 registry fee it plans to charge during general availability.
"Our plan is to sell thousands of domains before normal GA," Westerdal said.
The registry plans to give trademark owners a way to avoid UDRP, however, if they're willing to pay $5,000 for the privilege.
"Free Speech" registrants will have to agree not only to use TLS's feedback platform, but also to allow the owners of trademarks matching their domains to more or less unilaterally seize those domains for up to two years after registration.
The registry will accept trademarks for a period of 2 years after the initial registration on a "Free Speech Partner Program" domains. The cost is $5,000 to have the mark validated, if the trademark is found to be the first to successfully make a claim against a domain in the program the domain will be transferred to the mark holder. The mark holder will be allowed to change name servers and is not subject to the "Free Speech Partner Program" terms of service.
Domain registrants of the "Free Speech Partner Program" agree the outcome of a validated mark by the Registry have no further claim to the domain if it is transferred to a new registrant.
If TLS is trying to design a system that will enrage the trademark community to the maximum extent possible, it's doing a fantastic job.
It even introduced a new clause (2.9, here) to its registration agreement earlier this month, obliging registrants to point their domains to a web page that collects feedback. That means nobody will be allowed to leave their .feedback domains dark.
Are these measures justifiable disincentives, or plain old extortion? Opinion will no doubt be split along the usual lines.
Domaining Europe conference will be held in the Netherlands for the first time in 2016.
Organizers say the venue will be the Grand Hotel Amrâth Kurhaus in The Hague, which is about an hour by train from Amsterdam's Schipol airport.
Since its inception, Domaining Europe has been held in Valencia, Spain.
The plan for 2016 is to hold the conference May 29 to 31, two days after the TheNextWeb Europe conference ends in Amsterdam.
A company with a track record of misleading conference attendees into booking hotels with higher fees appears to be targeting NamesCon.
This morning I received a phone call from somebody claiming to be from NamesCon, but he pronounced it "Name Escon".
I asked him what company he worked for, and he continued to insist he worked for "Name Escon".
So I indulged him for a while, and it turned out he was trying to book me into a Las Vegas hotel for the duration of the January 10-13 trade show.
He offered me a rate at the Tropicana of $99 per night, including breakfast. That's actually not a bad rate — about $20 less than what Expedia is currently asking.
I kept him on the phone until he sent an email to an address he had on file for me (the one from DI's About page, which I don't use to sign up for anything).
It arrived immediately, from Exhibitors Housing Services (ehshousing.com), which appears to be a Los Angeles company, with a link to housing-portal.com.
The link led to a credit card authorization form, pre-tailored to my details and the rate offered, which included some terms and conditions I didn't like the look of.
A simple web search revealed that the company is widely believed to be Bad News.
The same outfit appears to regularly target annual conferences using the exhibitor lists published on earlier conference web sites. Contact information appears to be taken from the exhibitor's own site.
According to the likes of Affiliate Summit and The Physiological Society, and the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners and the Agricultural & Applied Economics Association these guys may charge up-front processing fees and/or have a very unfavorable cancellation policy.
In fact, just Googling for "Exhibitors Housing Services" will return pretty much nothing but scam warnings from various conference organizers.
One chap even posted a YouTube video explaining what he thinks the scam is.
I'm pretty certain the company has nothing to do with NamesCon.

This paper traces the relationship between the emergence of disability studies and the struggle for meaningful inclusion for disabled people with particular reference to the work of a pivotal figure in these developments: Len Barton. It is argued that the links between disability activism and the academy were responsible for the emergence of disability studies and that this has had an important influence on mainstream sociology and social and educational policy nationally and internationally. It is evident, however, that the impact of these developments has been only marginal and that in light of recent concerns about the global economy, environmental change and unprecedented population growth, the need for meaningful inclusion is more urgent than ever and cannot be dependent on the work of a few key individuals for its success.

An interesting article was published today discussing the entire "quick and easy meals" trend that has personally made a huge impact on my life (meaning I actually cook now). Rachael Ray and the Express Lane Meals concept are featured as a way to tackle the problem of getting a healthy meal on the table quickly. Also featured giving helpful hints and tips are Renee Schettler, food editor of Real Simple magazine, who has written "Real Simple Meals Made Easy," Susan Puckett, co-author of "The 5:30 Challenge: 5 Ingredients, 30 Minutes, Dinner on the Table" and food editor of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and Lynn Vettle, a senior test-kitchen manager for Pillsbury, which publishes "Pillsbury Fix It Fast: Dinner Ready in 25 Minutes or Less."
I have yet to really branch out from Rachael Ray recipes. Why mess with perfection? But if I were to take a risk and branch out, I would probably start with one of these authors.
I have the 5:30 Challenge and I love it!

Despite its tremendous value, GTM software is still overlooked by many companies. Why?
A false sense of security or being forced to do things manually – It is a misnomer to believe that an ERP system plus multiple spreadsheets is adequate for GTM. While some companies operate this way, they are missing out on tremendous value. Under their spreadsheet scenario, they are merely collecting data manually. With a single integrated GTM platform, companies can not only store data in a centralized database but also benefit from the automated reporting of serious exceptions and/or potential opportunities such as sourcing changes, free trade agreements, bill of material changes, special duty programs, denied party hits or discrepancies of reported values via comparisons of the purchase order, commercial invoice, 7501, vendor check and more.
Fear and/or cost – The fear that the GTM software implementation will fail or the budget will be grossly exceeded.
Lack of resources – The belief that the firm lacks the staff resources to devote to overseeing a GTM implementation or developing a justification that the C-suite will approve to designate the required funds.
So what is the secret to getting GTM in a cost-effective manner while ensuring a successful implementation? Here's a low-risk/high-reward option to move to GTM software.
Select a software provider whose core competency is GTM. Some corporate leaders aspire to the corporate ideal of "one-stop shopping" and either look to their existing vendors or (make sure you are sitting down for this one) try to develop a homegrown GTM solution. However, providers of general business software – or internal IT professionals – are not specialists in GTM. As a result, such pseudo-solutions do not work "out of the box." They will need infinite customizations since there are no defined instructions to follow for development and implementation. The effort is essentially a science project.
Either approach commonly leads to millions of dollars wasted on efforts that are completed late – or not at all – and never truly perform all the required functions.
In contrast, true GTM vendors, like QuestaWeb, have one core competency 24 x 7 x 365: GTM software solutions. They can supply complete GTM software solutions with all the functionality and compliance content needed to quickly reap the benefits of automation. Choosing an established specialist will deliver a cost-effective solution, backed by a proven implementation process, and it will perform all the required functions out of the box.
Identify the greatest area of need and phase in the needed functionality without a full-scale GTM implementation. Some providers offer GTM solutions in modules, which can be very advantageous. As an example, consider the importer that sources in several countries and uses several HTS chapters. That importer would need to quickly compare free trade agreements (FTAs) to determine the most cost-effective source of components or raw materials. Implementing a modular FTA solution is neither complex nor time consuming. And, the importer could implement the FTA solution now and add a full import compliance solution later.
Modular solutions provide the framework whereby it is possible to simply plug in an additional module that shares the same single database. Thus, the subsequent implementation – and associated learning curve – would be minimal. Other modular add-ons could easily address export compliance, denied party screening, global visibility, license determinations, self-filing and more.
Compliance professionals, for some reason, always face a hurdle that other departments don't: Convincing C-level decision-makers that they need software just as much as finance, purchasing, manufacturing, sales, distribution and human resources. Our earlier blog "Getting the Green Light for a GTM System Acquisition" provides some strategies to use to garner executive approval. Once you get the green light, avoid the science project, go with a GTM specialist and employ the low-risk/high-reward option, especially if your company is not ready to embrace a full GTM solution today.

white racism
White Terrorism: The Ordeal of Black Philosopher George Yancy
May 9, 2018 • Joe • white racism
On Christmas eve in 2015 the leading Black philosopher and New York Times opinion writer, George Yancy, penned a poignant "Dear White America" article in the Times. Yancy bravely sought to encourage each white reader to, as he summarizes in his disturbing new book Backlash
risk yourself, to undergo a process of moral and existential perplexity" and to assess very deeply what being white in America means. He also sought action from white readers, calling for "a refusal to lie, a refusal to live another day within a white supremacist system where Black people and people of color continue to be oppressed. . . . I wanted you to tell the truth to yourselves and tell it to others.
Yancy is writing from what I have termed in the The White Racial Frame book as strong resistance counter-framing. Counter-frames are grounded in counter-system thinking and have been very important for Black Americans in surviving and resisting oppression over many generations. In these anti-racism counter-frames whites are defined as highly problematical, and strategies on how to deal with whites and white institutions are expressed and foregrounded. As Backlash illustrates, a well-developed Black counter-frame includes deep understandings of how white racial hostility and discrimination operate and how to deal in everyday practice with white discrimination, including teachings about safety for Black youth and passive and active strategies of anti-racism resistance.
Resistance counter-framing like that demonstrated by Yancy is necessary in this highly racist society. The "Dear White America" letter was not long out before white America roared back angrily in reply. Hundreds of whites replied to Yancy's honest pleas and counter-framing with vicious replies developing most of the major racist themes long common in this country's omnipresent white racial frame (defined below). These came as online comments, emails, phone messages, and letters, and have continued to the present. Many missives were filled with intense emotions and extensive and venomous "nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger" language (no exaggeration). This is indeed, as Yancy puts it, "21st century white terror."
The impact on Yancy and others around him has been severe. He has feared for himself and family and colleagues, to the present day. Campus police have monitored his Emory University office, patrolling his office floor; his department has had to quit providing his office hours to callers; his department chair, higher administrators, and other colleagues have been attacked as well, some called "nigger lovers." At other universities, his talks have required the presence of police officers to protect him from possible white violence. His colleagues across the country have circulated large-scale supportive petitions on his behalf.
Yet Yancy did not submit to this extreme, often violence-oriented white onslaught quietly. A major countering effort can be seen in his Backlash book, in which he critically recounts and counter-frames many white-racist responses. This book clearly took great personal strength to write and has much that Americans, whites in particular, must read and heed if this country is to survive even remotely as just and democratic. Here he emphasizes the personal impact of everyday racism most African Americans face–some more than others, but virtually all too often, and ranging from subtle, to covert, to blatant discrimination. Yancy's book makes clear what it means today to be Black, to live in an often threatened Black body, and to be a recurring target of chronic racist framing. As he insists, this is a "window into the life of a Black philosopher who believes that the practice of philosophy, the love of wisdom, must speak to those who formally reside outside of" academic settings.
What is this horrifying white racial frame to which Yancy has had to respond? It is far more than just prejudice (bigotry, animus, etc.) Some years back, in the books Systemic Racism and The White Racial Frame I suggested the analytical concept of the white racial frame. Since its development in the 17th century, this white racial frame has been dominant, a framing that provides a generic meaning system for a highly racialized U.S. society. For centuries this powerful racial frame has provided the broad white-generated worldview from which whites (and many others) regularly view society. It includes (1) racial stereotypes/prejudices (the verbal-cognitive aspect); (2) racial narratives & interpretations (the integrating cognitive aspects); (3) racial images (the visual aspects) and preferred language accents (the auditory aspect); (4) racialized emotions; (5) and inclinations to discriminatory action. This broad framing has a very positive orientation to whites as generally virtuous (pro-white subframe) and a negative orientation to racial "others" frequently viewed as unvirtuous (anti-others subframes). The pro-white subframe aggressively accentuates white superiority, civilization, virtue, and moral goodness.
There are numerous major themes from this old white racial frame's anti-black subframe in the messages Yancy received. As he underscores in his book, these commentaries are far more than signs of "white fragility," for they signal old white racial "world-making" that is usually imbedded in white character structure. Some of these white racist messengers, often angry white men, use racialized sexual references (e.g., speaking of the supposed threat of Black men to white women) or references to Blacks being excrement ("shit," this and that). There is a recurring animalizing of Yancy and other Black Americans, including President Barack Obama, something whites have been doing at least since the founding era. White messages regularly describe African Americans as apes or ape-like. White images of Africans and African Americans as ape-like or ape-linked date back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and are another way of portraying Black Americans as racially inferior. For example, our third president Thomas Jefferson, a theorist of supposed "liberty and equality," wrote in his book, Notes on the State of Virginia, that Black Americans are racially inferior to whites in many ways, including reasoning, imagination, intelligence, and beauty. He further asserted that even black Americans prefer white Americans' beauty, "as uniformly as is the preference of the Oranootan [Orangutan] for the black women over those of his own species." That is, as a prominent white-racist thinker, Jefferson believed the imperialist myth that in Africa nonhuman primates actually had intercourse with oversexed African women.
Sadly, such ape imagery remains commonplace not just in the attack messages Yancy has received but also all over the Internet. One recent online study of 447 self-proclaimed white nationalists found that, using a scale from zero (as ape-like) to 100 (as human), they rated blacks and other people of color as much more apelike and much less human than whites. Numerous other studies (see here) of ordinary whites, the latter mostly not openly connected with white nationalist organizations, reveal this regular linking in white minds of apelike imagery to Black people, such as in the commonplace form of everyday "nigger" joking.
Perhaps most disturbing in these white commentaries to Professor Yancy is the constant threatening of violence against him and other Blacks. Most of these violent verbal attacks appear to come from white men of various ages and classes. There is much anger in their messaging, like this one: "Somebody needs to . . . knock your fucking head off your shoulders." As Yancy underscores,
there was very little love shown toward me. There were white threats of physical violence, talk of putting a meat hook in parts of my body, threats of knocking my "fucking head off" (their words), of beating me and leaving me dead, and vile demands that I kill myself immediately.
This viciousness came in response to Yancy's honest pleas seeking to move whites to understand who they are racially and the scale of the racial oppression they have created.
Striking too in these hundreds of attack messages is the high level of white emotion. Many whites, especially white men, pride themselves on not being emotional; they reserve emotionality for those who are not white or male. Yet white men are probably the most emotional Americans when it comes to racial issues, especially when their racial status, enrichments, and privileges seem endangered, Coming through the many white verbal attacks on Yancy is stunning white emotionality, including anger, fear, outrage, bitterness, and, almost always, arrogance. Hundreds of the comments have a tone like this: "Dear nigger . . . fuck you. I am a racist. I'm ok with that now thanks to your nigger community and their actions over the last few years." These hundreds of comments clearly demonstrate how most elements in the dominant white racial frame are very emotionally loaded.
Yancy's belligerent responders also demonstrate great ignorance about many racial matters. For example, their white comments often reflect a serious illiteracy in regard to what the word "racism" means, especially in its origin. They periodically call Yancy a "racist" for calling out the white-racist ideas and discriminatory patterns of whites. The term "racism" is widely used by whites and many others for an individual's ideas and actions, yet the modern term "racism" was originally constructed to refer to collective ideological and systemic racism. The first modern use of term "racism" was by German researcher Magnus Hirschfeld (in his 1933 book) for what German Nazis were systematically doing to European Jews, Roma, and Africans —that is, extreme ideological and institutional racism. This was far more than a matter of Nazi prejudices. Today, white racism also involves the deep structures and surface structures of racial oppression. It includes a complex array of white anti-other (e.g., anti-black) discriminatory practices, the unjustly gained economic/political power of whites, the continuing economic and other resource inequalities along racial lines (unjust enrichment/unjust impoverishment), and the white racial framing created by whites to rationalize white privilege and power. This racism is a material, social, racially framed reality—that is, manifested in all societal sectors, institutionally enabled, and socially reproduced for about 20 generations. White attempts to apply the term racism to yet other groups demonstrates not only ignorance of its history and reality but also, and quite remarkably, that most of these whites actually do understand at some level that racism is undesirable and immoral.
The many racially hostile messages recorded in Backlash further suggest that our contemporary era of overt and politicized white racism has liberated many whites from the necessity of suppressing their extensive white racist framing of society in public settings. For example, there is recurring positive reference in these attack missives sent to Yancy, and in similar hostile communiqués on white nationalist websites, to the white nationalism of our current president, Donald Trump, including recurring phrasing similar to Trump's main slogan (e.g., "make America white again"). Such racially framed sentiments are not just limited to more extreme white supremacist missives and websites, for much recent social science research shows that central to the thinking of many of Trump's many white voters has been great worry about their losing their "superior" racial status in US society.
Perhaps the most poignant and deeply insightful aspect of Backlash is Yancy's reflections on being Black and the matter of death resulting from white terrorism's many forms. Yancy describes an incident when he was growing up in an impoverished urban area. Having gotten a telescope as a present, a white officer saw him with it, and framing him as a poor Black youngster, almost shot him because he thought it was a weapon. Reflecting in the book on this incident, Yancy concludes that he cannot be a complete pessimist because he is alive today, yet "being alive feels like borrowed time." Being Black, that is, means the constant and well-institutionalized possibility of racially marked death at any time of life. This is the critical difference between blackness and whiteness, for no institutionally grounded practices have marked "whiteness as a target for death" at any time. So, given the entrenched reality of persisting white racism, Yancy also concludes he cannot be truly optimistic in regard to the possibility of substantial racial change in this society.
Racism and Family: Reflections on Ta-Nehisi Coates' Book
January 10, 2016 • Eileen Obrien • family, white racism
As the nation—and even the world—approaches yet another Rev./Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, some will be reflecting on how far we've come since King's time. Others will be calling for renewed vigor toward activism and social justice, noting how far we still have to go toward King's "dream." Last year I was one of those voices. This year, however, I am instead overwhelmed by tremendous grief. The racism King deplored and gave his very life to combat simply will not leave us. It seems no sooner can I experience the joy of connecting to another person than it is cut short by the cold hard truth of what racism does to relationships, and to our inner beings. And just as I am grieving personal loss, I too am grieving the loss for all of humanity. That too many of the human species are condemned to lives far dimmer than what the bright light of their spirit could hold, if it weren't for the invention of race and its rules of division.
One analyst who shares my grief is Ta-nehisi Coates. I was deeply moved this summer after reading his new book Between the World and Me. After noticing some reviewers accuse Coates of overgeneralizing about whites and/or police officers (see here for example) I knew I had to get a copy to read for myself. I'm all too familiar with my students and others reading things that aren't there when it comes to racism. Not surprisingly, I found Coates was not the mythical creature he was purported to be. (You know, the one that hates all white people and won't give even them a chance–e.g., like the black person "who took your job," or the "close" black friend you have). However, we still have yet to have a documented/verified sighting of such a black person!
No, far from being exclusionary or categorically dismissive, Coates places the blame exactly where it should be:
'White America' is a syndicate arrayed to protect its exclusive power to dominate and control our bodies. . . . without it, 'white people' would cease to exist for a want of reasons. There will surely always be people with straight hair and blue eyes, as there have been for all of history. But some of these straight-haired people with blue eyes have been 'black,' and this points to the great difference between their world and ours. We did not choose our fences. They were imposed on us. . .(p. 42)
These very fences are directly responsible for many of the losses I am grieving. I connected so deeply to Coates' writing because he wrote as a parent torn between the beauty of a child who believes he can dwell above the veil, beyond the veil (see W.E.B. Du Bois), and the harsh reality that one's job as a parent is to protect one's children of color from being slaughtered by these fences—-all the while knowing in the end we will have little to no control when the unfairness of it all crashes down onto them. I am the one they look to, to tell them they can be anything they want to be when no one else will, but as a person who values honesty, I cannot lie to them. And as a parent who wants them to succeed, thrive, and prosper, I cannot ill-equip them by shielding them from these truths.
Comedians make jokes sometimes about the different parenting styles of whites and blacks—-as if they are simply differences in regional dialect or those color/hue palette variations like eye color that make the world go round and keep it interesting. But Coates so astutely implicates the very white power structure above for the perceived harshness of some black parenting styles. Just underneath that gruffness is nothing but racism-instilled fear:
This need to be always on guard was an unmeasured expenditure of energy, the slow siphoning of the essence. It contributed to the fast breakdown of our bodies. So I feared not just the violence of this world but the rules designed to protect you from it, the rules that would have you to contort your body to address the block, and contort again to be taken seriously by colleagues, and contort again so as not to give the police a reason. . . .This is how we lose our softness. This is how they steal our right to smile. . . It struck me that perhaps the defining feature of being drafted into the black race was the inescapable robbery of time, because moments we spent readying the mask, or readying ourselves to accept half as much, could not be recovered.(pp. 90-1).
These many costs of racism that take grave tolls on black bodies and minds have been documented empirically in Joe Feagin and Karyn McKinney's book, The Many Costs of Racism — high rates of hypertension, workplace-induced carcinogens (i.e., much environmental racism), and other factors all ultimately resulting in lower life expectancies. Thus, one piece of my grief, for example, is that my children will never know their African American grandmother, who died at only 52, and was one of the most hardworking, loving, giving, caring, and musically talented members of the family. Yet many African Americans might only dream that their children had been able to see the age of 52—instead, their children, such as (most recently) Prince Jones, Michael Brown, Trayvon Brown, Tamir Rice, and far too many others must be mourned before they can even be parents themselves, much less barely finish their childhood.
Coates wrote Between the World and Me in the form of a letter to his son, who cried in his room inconsolably after learning of the Michael Brown verdict. Coates knew that telling his son everything's going to be all right was not an option. After the book's printing, no doubt Coates would not be surprised there would be no justice for Tamir Rice either. Racism literally takes away life, which is bad enough. But for those of us who remain, while we remain, racism does damage to our lives as well.
So I am grieving today that I had to have "the talk" with my 8-year old black son. Much as I wanted to put it off longer–the child still believes in Santa Claus–a well-meaning white family member forced my hand, by giving him the toy gun he asked for for Christmas. I had to tell him that a police officer might shoot and kill him with the justification that he thought he was holding a real gun. Lest his naïve white mother be talking about something she was clueless about, he turned to his older sister for some sort of confirmation or denial. When his sister–with hair like his and skin like his–told him, "yes, it's true," at that moment he knew that all the nice refrains in school about the police officer being his friend were but one version of the real story.
I am grieving that "the talk"–that was once associated with getting one's driver's license and becoming a young man–is now a talk for little ones who still take their steps down a staircase two feet at a time.
And while I shoulder this, I am also grieving a three-year relationship with the beautiful African American man I thought was my soul mate. Though each of us was raising children of our own, it was mentioned that my parenting was perhaps too optimistic. "We did not choose our fences" (Coates 2015:42), but those fences inevitably mean we only could connect but so much, and but for so long. Imagine how much more energy one could devote to strengthening one's relationships if one's body were not constantly drafted into the war of fighting racism. Perhaps fortuitously, a skilled and talented DJ chose "Footprints" as part of the soundtrack to our first date. It begins with a mother saying a routine "hurry back" goodbye to her son, only to lose him forever in a shooting—-much akin to the grief Coates chronicles in his interview with the mother of Prince Jones.
Some have told me Coates' book was so painful, they had to put it down. While decontextualized excerpts from Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech have been used at times as some kind of "Kumbaya, why can't we all just get along anthem," Coates instead uses the concept of the "dream" to refer to the deluded whites who think the world is a meritocracy, the world is their oyster, and when and if problems arise, justice wins out in orderly fashion. Those whites and others who buy uncritically into the "dream" still understand racism as an aberration to an otherwise ethically grounded society, much as the occasional natural disaster. Coates notes that
Americans believe in the reality of 'race'. . .But race is the child of racism, not the father. And the process of naming 'the people' has never been a matter of genealogy and physiognomy so much as one of hierarchy. . . [whiteness] has no real meaning divorced from the machinery of criminal power" (pp. 7-8)
Those who subscribe to the "dream" are usually ignorant of the fact that racism in the form of slavery and Jim Crow forms fully 83 percent of our nation's history so it's foundational and ongoing, as opposed to a temporary hiccup. When Michelle Alexander reviewed Coates' book for The New York Times review of books, she read it twice–the first time she was so disheartened that he offered no optimistic, visionary, inspirational vision for the future, that she had to read it again a second time with new adjusted expectations. Coates does not provide a way out of the mess. And although I do not share Coates' atheism/agnosticism, what lover of justice among us has not questioned why a benevolent God would allow the ugliness of racism to continue to rage with no end in sight?
I led two community discussions on Coates' book in Fall 2015, and I asked my fellow readers whether they thought Coates was a pessimist. Though we did not find him to be offering optimism, we agreed that what Coates prescribes is instead consciousness. He calls us to be fully aware, cast off the denial, and pay attention. Indeed, to his son he wrote:
My wish for you is that you feel no need to constrict yourself to make other people comfortable. None of that can change the math anyway. I never wanted you to be twice as good as them, so much as I have always wanted you to attack every day of your brief bright life in struggle. The people who must believe they are white can never be your measuring stick. I would not have you descend into your own dream. I would have you be a conscious citizen of this terrible and beautiful world" (pp. 107-8).
If one listens closely, there are moments of beauty of this world Coates celebrates throughout these pages. Those are the moments when one dwells outside the veil, when the fences have been temporarily lifted, when the softness dares to emerge despite the inevitable risk of pain that looms just behind. Coates eloquently shares with the reader the moments when he is bowled over by the bold no-holds-barred confidence of his son or his wife, or the way his fellow students groove to the music at a party. They exude a soulfulness and a zeal for life that he cherishes in those moments. Those snapshots in time become all the more beautiful when you are fully conscious of how rare they are, and how inevitably they will be interrupted.
In a bereavement workshop after the passing of my father, I was reminded that grief is an indicator of once having loved and being loved in return. Toward the end of his life, this man sent me a card every year on MLK day to acknowledge and honor my work. He would also remind me of the Buddhist teaching on impermanence–everything, whether wondrous or painful, too shall pass. Coates brings us face to face with the kind of pain that is like fire or looking into the son-—at some point, many readers feel compelled to put the book down and look away, it is too heavy to bear. Yet, even though he is a skeptic, he is fully conscious. His eyes are wide open, and he does not want to miss a moment.
So on this Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, while the national focus on race and racism only calls to mind the sadness and pain it inflicts upon my relationships with those I love most, I am also challenged to follow Coates' lead: as I grieve, I will keep conscious. I will cherish the moments my love and I got lost in the music and there were no fences between us. I will cherish the moments my children played with abandon without a care to how boisterous they were, and no one was there to invoke our fear of sanctions that might befall them when their "race" trumped their youthful innocence in someone's eyes. Most of all I will keep telling the truth, and I will not keep silent, about the racism that keeps us all from being able to enjoy so many more of those moments with each other.

AirTags In Checked Bags? Why I'll Never Travel Without Them Again – CNET
Brian Burns / October 12,2022
Arriving back into Edinburgh Airport with my husband to discover our checked bags hadn't made the journey home with us was hardly the ideal end to our otherwise dreamy Sicilian honeymoon. Also less than ideal: My husband sheepishly breaking the news to me that he'd packed his house keys in his suitcase.
What could easily have been the cause of our first argument as a married couple turned out to be a blessing in disguise. That's because there was an Apple AirTag attached to those keys.This happy accident allowed us to check on his phone and see that his suitcase (and hopefully mine too) had made it as far as London, and was at that very moment sitting in Heathrow Terminal 5. Over the ensuing three days this provided us with immense reassurance as we witnessed the AirTag move from London to Edinburgh, and then across the city to our home.
While Apple's AirTags have proven to be controversial, particularly when used by stalkers, this was a situation where they worked exactly as intended, offering us peace of mind and specific location information on our lost belongings. Without it, we would've been in the dark about where our possessions were and whether they would make their way home.
I can't say enough good things about the service on board our British Airways flights, but the process of reporting and retrieving our bags through the airline's online system was a mess. After submitting our reports, we received emails that didn't include our names or tracking numbers, making it impossible to track our missing luggage. The only update came from the courier shortly before our bags were finally delivered to our front door.
The incident has made me certain I'll never travel without AirTags again — as long as I have a choice to do so. But for a moment this week, I was worried I might not be able to.
On Saturday, German airline Lufthansa told a customer over Twitter that it was banning AirTags and other tracking devices from checked luggage. When pressed, it said: "According to ICAO guidelines, baggage trackers are subject to the dangerous goods regulations. Furthermore, due to their transmission function, the trackers must be deactivated during the flight if they are in checked baggage and cannot be used as a result."
Lufthansa later retracted its statement, telling CNET's sister site The Points Guy: "The Lufthansa Group has conducted its own risk assessment with the result that tracking devices with very low battery and transmission power in checked luggage do not pose a safety risk. We have never issued a ban on devices like that." The airline also told CNET that the German Aviation Authorities had agreed with its assessment.
There seems to be some confusion at the airline over how to interpret international aviation regulations, which are drawn up, but not enforced, by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
These rules specify that the small portable electronic devices containing lithium batteries should be prevented from unintentional activation and must be completely switched off (not in sleep or hibernation mode) if stored in checked luggage. But it's up to national governments to interpret these regulations and transpose them into law.
The worry with lithium batteries is that they pose a fire risk, but most national authorities and airlines continue to allow the small CR2032 batteries used inside AirTags and other trackers. This includes the US Transport Security Administration, which has explicitly confirmed that passengers can put them in their checked luggage.
The benefits of traveling with AirTags or other trackers are more clear than ever. According to the US Department of Transportation's Air Travel Consumer Report, over 1.4 million bags were "mishandled" by airlines within the US between January and June this year, up from around 693,000 in the same period the year prior. This summer there were multiple news reports about a global lost luggage crisis.
I was fortunate to get my luggage back after only a few days, but many passengers whose suitcases never show up on the conveyor belt aren't so lucky. No matter how good your travel insurance is about providing compensation, the loss can be distressing and inconvenient. Knowing your personal belongings could be anywhere in the world, and are probably lying carelessly discarded on an airport floor can leave you feeling powerless.
AirTags can't magically bring your bags back or provide any guarantees that your airline will rescue them for you. But they can provide valuable information when automated, faceless systems fail you. They can pinpoint your luggage's location even when your airline declares it lost. If you have no choice but to fight with the airline to retrieve what's yours, you have the evidence you need.
Ideally you won't need it — and in an ideal world you'd remember to transfer all your most important items into your hand luggage before flying. But as the statistics and first-hand experience shows, errors occur all the time. Better to do yourself a favor and track your own luggage. And also make sure that at least one person in your marriage is smart enough to keep their house keys close to hand.

How your periodontist treats your gum disease is largely dependent upon the stage of your infection and the amount of deterioration involving your gums, teeth, supporting tissues, and bone.
During this procedure, a local anesthetic is applied. Gum tissue is folded back to expose deeper tissues. Then disease-causing bacteria are removed. Membranes, bone grafts or tissue-stimulating proteins are used to encourage your body's natural ability to regenerate bone and tissue and reverse some of the damage of gum disease.

Home personnel news transfer noise
A Tony-for-Tony swap in attack? Anthony Modeste may be headed to Kölle . . . maybe . . .
TOPICS:1. FC KölnAnthony ModesteBayer Leverkusentransfer rumors
Posted By: Randall Hauk May 18, 2015
Even before Anthony Ujah was known to be on his way elsewhere, it had to be assumed that striker was going to be a major area of need for the transfer window.
Ujah's departure, of course, definitely makes the feel of need a bit more intense.
The biggest name to arise in the wake of the Ujah drama has been that of TSG Hoffenheim's Anthony Modeste. Express reported last week that Modeste and the EffZeh have agreed to terms, which would seem to mean that Hoffenheim and Köln can negotiate the transfer free, as Modeste's current contract runs into next summer.
He's an available striker. We need an available striker! Bonus that he's another Anthony? No need to remember a new first name among the attack options, perhaps? He's even a fairly active Twitter guy.
Though, Modeste is French and not Nigerian. It's probably best for the two to not be too similar, eh?
But Modeste seems to be a decent option.
He hasn't really received a ton of time this season after scoring twelve goals in 2013-14, but we all saw first-hand that he doesn't always need it, having grabbed a late goal at the Müngersdorfer just a few weeks ago.
With all the options Markus Gisdol has in attack, Modeste being used sparingly is not necessarily indicative that he's not Bundesliga-ready. He's definitely shown some quality over the last two seasons.
What could complicate matters from there?
"Modeste is a good player, who employs his body and has a good shot."
This from Jonas Boldt, assistant to Rudi Völler at Bayer Leverkusen, according to a Tuesday report in Express.
I have a "You have GOT to be kidding me!" to insert here, though I'm not sure whether it's for Express or for Bayer.
Such a quote about a specific player who was recently reported to be ready to move to your local rival is necessarily going to raise eyebrows. At the bare minimum, it could be interpreted as tampering with on-going negotiations, which could have the effect or raising the transfer fee.
And if it is just that and nothing more, it's a bit of what I like to call "a douche move."
The report does say that Boldt says "only" that about Modeste, which could also be that he's trying to remain tight-lipped about sincere interest. The trio of reporters given byline in the piece speculate that Leverkusen's failure to make a deal for Kevin Volland and Josip Drmic's desire to leave are factors that would make potential interest in Modeste seem plausible.
Beyond that single quote, however, the report of Werkself interest is sheer speculation. That doesn't mean they're wrong, of course, but . . . I guess I'd wait to hear it from someone other than the assistant sporting director.
Though, if you want to go full tin-foil-hat theory, consider that Modeste played a full 90 minutes last weekend in Leverkusen, making it the first time all season he played the entire match. Could that have been a case of Hoffenheim putting the goods on display for the potential new bidder?
CONSPIRACY!
INTRIGUE!
SACRE BLEU! (That one's for you, Anthony!)
This is the problem with no longer fighting for survival, but also not trying to catch a European spot. Now we have time to worry about all sorts of stuff, rather than just let it play out.
It's not our fault, right?

Tripura has bagged the best tableau award in this year's Republic Day parade. It was followed by Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab in the second and third spots respectively. In the departments category, the prize was jointly shared by the CISF and the ICAR. Navy children's school, Chanakyapuri was adjudged as the best performing school while the Rajkiya Pratibha Vikas Vidyalaya Kishan Ganj, Delhi, was given the consolation prize. The CPWD was also given a special prize for floral decoration in the national capital. The awards were presented by the Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman at a function on January 28.
The theme of the Tripura tableau was, 'Empowering Rural Economy the Gandhian Way'. Tripura's Chief Minister posted a tweet after the state received the best tableau award and said, "A moment of immense pride for #Tripura! Our Tableau at #RepublicDay2019 Parade wins the 1st prize. Congratulations to the entire team who worked hard and made this incredible achievement possible! जय हिंद। जय त्रिपुरा।" Tripura's Information and Cultural Affairs Deputy Director Bhaskar Das Gupta said, "it was a test for the best". He said that the charkha, weavers and the Swachh Bharat song were a tribute to the father of the nation.
Deputy Secretary, Jammu and Kashmir government, Nazir Ladakhi said, "It is a matter of privilege to be a part of the Republic Day parade and getting the second prize from the Defence Minister." Secretary, Information and Public Relation of Punjab government, Gurkirat Kripal Singh said that the Punjab tableau depicted the Jallianwala Bagh incident. He said, "We are keen that the incident is showcased so that people know about it". The official added, "This is the third time the state was getting the award. Earlier it was in 1967 and in 1982, and all throughout in the third position and we hope next time we will get the first prize." A total of 16 states had participated in this year's Republic Day parade along with six ministries and departments.

Die Kleine Buntschrecke (Poecilimon elegans) ist eine Langfühlerschrecke aus der Unterfamilie Phaneropterinae innerhalb der Überfamilie der Laubheuschrecken. Synonyme sind Poecilimon balcanicus (Shugurov, 1907 – diese Art wurde für die Jugendform der Kleinen Buntschrecke aufgestellt) und Poecilimon balkanicus, was auf eine Falschschreibung Ersterem zurückgeht.

Merkmale
Die Kleine Buntschrecke besitzt einen kurzen, dicken Hinterleib und einen weder sattelförmigen noch nach hinten verlängerten Thorax. Die Unterschenkel des letzten Beinpaars tragen kleine Stacheln. Die Fühler sind in etwa so lang wie der Körper. Die Grundfarbe variiert von oliv bis hellgrün. Vom Auge über den Thorax und bis auf den Hinterleib zieht sich ein  weißes oder hellgelbes Band. Beim Weibchen reicht es bis zur Mitte des Hinterleibs, beim Männchen bis zur Abdomenspitze. Die Halsschildseiten weisen einen hellen Rand auf. Die Flügel der Art werden beim Weibchen vom Halsschild verdeckt, beim Männchen sind sie stark verkürzt, hellbraun gefärbt und mit einigen dunklen Flecken versehen. Der Legebohrer des Weibchens ist an der Basis gerade, biegt sich dann aber nach oben. Er ist am Außenrand gezähnt.

Lebensweise und Verbreitung
Die Kleine Buntschrecke gibt kurze, scharfe Töne in größeren Abständen von sich. Sie hält sich häufig auf niedrigen krautigen Pflanzen auf und bewohnt stark bewachsene Wiesen und Buschland. Ihr Verbreitungsgebiet erstreckt sich von Italien und Kroatien über Serbien und Montenegro bis nach Albanien, Mazedonien und Bulgarien. Die Imagines treten von Juni bis Juli auf, Weibchen sind allerdings noch vereinzelt im August anzutreffen.

Colleen was born on April 13, 1964 in Vryheid, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. She now lives in Boulder, Colorado and became a U.S citizen on December 11, 2000. De Reuck graduated Stanger high school in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa in 1981 and finished college at the University of Port Elizabeth in Eastern Cape, South Africa in 1985. Before becoming a U.S. citizen in 2000, she represented South Africa in three Olympics, competing in the marathon in 1992 (9th in 2:39:03); the 10,000 in 1996 (13th in 32:14.69); and the marathon in 2000 (31st in 2:36:58). Her most outstanding year was probably 1998 when she set two world records in winning the Nortel Cherry Blossom 10 Mile in 51:16 and the New Haven 20km in 1:05:11. De Reuck's first year as a U.S. citizen, 2001, saw her winning the USA 8km Championship in 26:16, the Arturo Barrios 10K in 32:35 and the Tufts Health Plan 10km for Women in 32:10. She was also 14th (3rd American) at the New York City Marathon in 2:35:31. She made her first U.S team in 2002 after a second place finish to Deena Kastor at the USA 8K cross country trials. Kastor and De Reuck then finished 2nd and 3rd at the IAAF World Cross Country 8 km as they along with Jen Rhines won the team silver medal.

A teenager and his mother move into a small town after the death of his father, where she it to take up the role of deputy-principal. Almost immediately he meets an attractive girl who lives next door, but is warned off from making friends with her by her father. When he hears screaming from next door he calls the police, and joins them as they ask to look inside the house, but the father says it is all due to a TV programme. Thereafter he and a friend sneak into the house and find a shelf of books; opening one they release a monster. The father is revealed to be author R.L. Stine and this monster and others, the products of his imagination. But how can they be controlled?
The boy, Zach, and the girl, Hannah, sneak off and go on an abandoned ferris wheel. The boys wander about in the house. Monsters, which are those from the stories written by the real Stine, are released and attack the town. The author and the young people dash about trying to control things. They make a plan and in the climax put it into effect. There was absolutely nothing to offend anyone in any part of this movie, even the werewolf wears shorts.
A View Without knowing anything about R.L. Stine my wife and I thought this was good fun, and I was surprised to find that he was a real person and that the fictional monsters were actually featured in books. I thought it all worked pretty well in the first two acts, but the final thirty minutes or so were a bit frantic, and despite the originality of the premise, just followed a familiar groove, but just for once I am able to say good family viewing.
Source of story The "Goosebumps" books written by R.L. Stine.
Additional Info According to the cast list the film features 28 monsters.

Work being done to increase retention and narrow the equity gap in the College of Engineering and Engineering Technology at NIU is gaining worldwide attention.
Associate Professor Shanthi Muthuswamy teaching students in NIU's College of Engineering and Engineering Technology.
A three-pronged strategy developed by Shanthi Muthuswamy, associate professor of engineering technology, recently earned recognition through an Airbus GEDC (Global Engineering Deans Council) Diversity Award program.
NIU advanced as a top 10 finalist competing with projects from various countries across the globe.
"We are proud of Dr. Muthuswamy's recognition as the top ten finalist internationally for the 2018 Airbus GEDC Diversity award, and it is a recognition not only for her but also for the college and NIU's commitment to diversity," said Murali Krishnamurthi, vice provost for faculty affairs and distinguished teaching professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at NIU.
Muthuswamy's three-pronged strategy involves the use of 5-minute Solutions—a series of short videos to help students learn complex engineering concepts, spatial visualization workshops for freshmen engineering students and a cultural sensitivity training for teaching assistants and tutors to foster an inclusive environment for students.
"For learners of differing abilities or learning styles, the ability to review at a self-directed pace or to focus on particular topics has been essential for their continued success in the undergraduate program," Muthuswamy wrote as part of the award nomination.
The award aims to recognize projects that demonstrate the best use of technology to enhance diversity in engineering education.
"It is truly an honor to be nominated for this global award and to make it to the Top 10," said Muthuswamy, who created the three-pronged strategy when she served as the interim associate dean during the 2016-17 academic year.
"Dr. Muthuswamy's strategy to increase retention and narrow equity gaps in engineering, as well as her motivation and determination, aligned perfectly with the criteria of this award, especially for her impactful success in advancing scalable and technologically driven mechanisms that have led to increasing the diversity of the engineering and graduate student body," said Donald Peterson, dean of the College of Engineering and Engineering Technology.
The most recent cohort data shows 76 percent of the College of Engineering and Engineering Technology freshmen are from underserved populations. Muthuswamy took a holistic approach to increase retention and diversity in the College of Engineering and Engineering Technology. Through the three-pronged strategy, Muthuswamy aimed to help all students, regardless of gender, ethnicity or race. In doing so, the overall graduation rate will improve, she said.
The strategies can be emulated to help increase diversity among the global community of engineers, a key component the Airbus GEDC Diversity Award aims to recognize.
"Given the fact that equity gaps remain as a perennial and daunting challenge within higher education institutions in the U.S., Dr. Muthuswamy's strategy serves as a solid replicable and scalable national model to increase retention and graduation rates of underrepresented students," Peterson said.

If you've recently welcomed a new addition to your family, don't forget to add them to your family health insurance or you could find yourself with a nasty tax shock.
While couples may have a family health insurance policy, many parents maintain single-member health insurance until kids come along. In both cases, it's important to remember to add children as dependents to the policy following their birth or inclusion in the family unit following marriage or adoption.
Failing to add your child to your private health insurance could mean that you may be levied with the Medicare Surcharge of 1% for each year they are not on the policy. Given that private health insurance is now means-tested, it can be an expensive thing to forget.
For more information about the Medicare Levy Surcharge, visit the Private Health website.
