HUMAN TARGET: Matt Miller Teases the Chance-Ilsa Relationship and the Season Finale
February 9, 2011 by Marisa Roffman
After nearly a season of dancing around each other, HUMAN TARGET's Chance and Ilsa shared a kiss to close out last week's episode.
With the season finale airing Wednesday night on Fox, I chatted with HUMAN TARGET showrunner Matt Miller about the fallout from the Ilsa-Chance kiss, where the duo go from there, the "nefarious, dangerous plot" that threatens the entire team and whether the season will end on a cliffhanger…
When we last left off with HUMAN TARGET, Chance and Ilsa had kissed. Is it safe to say that will be addressed in the season finale?
Matt Miller: Yes, that will certainly be something that we're going to deal with in the finale. Basically, the whole finale on some level or another is about that, but it's masked behind a very large bad guy — a nefarious, dangerous plot, which is hopefully the most formidable opponent these guys have gone up against in two seasons. And so what happens is that Ilsa and Chance desperately need to try to come together and discuss or work out what happened in the last episode, but they can't because of all the circumstances that come up.
And they're choosing to deal with it in different way — Chance, because he's a guy that's not that comfortable with his emotions, has chosen to ignore the situation as if it never happened. Ilsa, because of who she is and what she's gone through with her husband and all of that, has chosen to deal with the situation by moving back to London. She's just going to take off and go handle her charitable organizations there. And in this episode, it's both of their desire to not conflict those things and having it have to play out in a very big, epic, action sequence kind of way.
And the big enemy they're facing in the finale has a connection to Ilsa's dead husband, correct?
MM: Yeah. What happens is that Ilsa says, "I'm going to go back to London and not deal with this and what happened with Chance and what I'm feeling." And since Chance is ignoring the whole thing, we have Winston, who is deeply suspicious that something has gone on between Chance and Ilsa, but he can't quite put his finger on it. And what happens is the woman from the photograph, the mistress that Ilsa and Guerrero and whoever else has been quietly looking for, she ends up coming back into our world. And so that pulls our whole team [together] and makes Ilsa not able to leave for London. And it suddenly puts Chance and Ilsa on this mission to find out what these bigger, darker forces were behind the murder of Ilsa's husband. And if in some way, Ilsa can move on from the murder of her husband, maybe that would make her a little bit more emotionally available to start a new relationship with Chance.
It sort of feels like in order for them to pursue their relationship, two things have to happen: one is Ilsa has to be able put her husband behind her in order to have a new relationship with Chance. In order for Chance to have a relationship with Ilsa, he has to be able to put behind a whole bunch of [his] past, all the things he's done in his life and be able to open up and emote and make [himself] emotionally available to have a real relationship with a real woman.
In season one, he had that relationship at the end of the season with Katherine — that was really a short-lived, met her, thought she was great, but suddenly she was out of his life. This is someone who has been in his life for a long time — for at least a year — and you know, has proven herself on many levels to be someone he actually knows and actually is compatible with and could be something real. So for him to take that step forward and have a relationship with her would be leaving himself exposed — and this is a guy that, as you know, is professionally very dark.
When we talked in the beginning of the season, one of the things you mentioned you wanted to inject into the show was romance. Did you intend to have the Chance-Ilsa relationship turn romantic all along or were you just fortunate the actors had chemistry and it made sense for the series to go there?
MM: I think it was a combination of the two. I think at the beginning of the season when we were thinking of these ideas, we knew we wanted something to click romantically with Ilsa and for Chance — the whole season has sort of been about them coming to a place where they can be a little bit more emotionally available. And through the season it kind of evolved to such a place where he was more of a regular kind of human being. And we knew that we wanted to draw that arc out for him.
What ended up happening was that the Chance and Ilsa relationship proved to have quite a bit of chemistry [between] those two that we didn't realize necessarily that we would have that. And if it wasn't there between them, we would have had to have found that with a new female, bring a third character into it. You never know. You put this stuff in your head, but the Ames character came in and maybe she was going to be a romantic interest for Chance [if Ilsa hadn't worked out]. But it ended up working out through the actors, through the writing, through the way the chemistry worked, Ames has become a little sister to the whole team and doesn't feel any way romantically connected to them. So that sort of stuff you can think about, you can think it out, you can map it out, but ultimately you have to go with what's working.
Understandable. So let's talk about the rest of the team. Do they have any of their own storylines aside from Ilsa's husband's case?
MM: Yeah, well the idea was to try and make in this episode as much of the stuff as we had [from] the early part of the season come to fruition and come full circle. And so what happens is the whole team is involved in helping Ilsa find out who these people are and because of their relationship and their involvement in trying to protect Ilsa, they all end up with targets or bullseyes on their head halfway through the episode. So halfway through it, they're all on the run. And they end up having to go on the lam, and Ames ends up on the lam with Guerrero. Which that combination of Ames and Guerrero proved to be our money this season with their constant bickering. They don't end up getting very far — they were supposed to go to Mexico to lay low, but Ames' constant talking into Guerrero's ear makes him so crazy that he realizes he'd rather stay and die than spend another minute alone with Ames. So they end up getting back into the fray.
We also play the thread of Guerrero's child — where the bad guys are trying to find pressure points on all of our characters, one of the things that they discover when they're going through this is that little nugget that we planted a few episodes earlier in "Cool Hand Guerrero," when we learned that Guerrero has a child. So they're able to attempt to use that as leverage against Guerrero, which is not an advisable thing. We have a very satisfying conclusion to that [threat].
I can't imagine Guerrero will react well to someone threatening his child…
MM: [Laughs] He does not react well. We've seen Guerrero handle people very unkindly that he didn't even have an emotional connection to. If someone is actually targeting his child, he ratchets it up a notch. It may be my favorite shot of the season — there's a shot in Act 5 of Guerrero handling his business with this character and a pretty cool song is playing. I won't give away anything else, but it's a pretty cool moment.
I cannot wait to see it. Can you say whether the season ends on a cliffhanger?
MM: No, it doesn't. Season one ended very much with a cliffhanger with Winston being taken and the helicopter and a lot of things. My feeling is networks never pick you up [for the next season] based on a cliffhanger. If the ratings aren't there or financially they don't think your show works for the network or whatever reason, you're not getting picked up. You can have your guy dangling in the air or any other thing happening and that would just be the end of it. If you're not looking at it in the point of view of "we're going to try and force their hand in some way to make them pick us up" and just go with what is the most satisfying conclusion or open-ended [finale that] sort of paves the way for season three — but in the same way feels like a satisfying ending to season two — that is hopefully what we have done by the end of the episode. I would classify it as more of an emotional cliffhanger as opposed to a person hanging from a cliff.

From the article I can tell they haven't been picked up for next season yet, but there's still a possibility. But did the show get in a full season this year? It's odd that the finale is in February. I can't quite remember if the show started early or what.
I hope it gets picked up. The first season was just ok, and I sort of kept up on Hulu, but the addition of the female regular characters in the second season was just perfect. I even watch the show on … (gasp) television from time to time … amazing.
Will be watching tonight.
ColoradoKila on February 9th, 2011 4:29 pm
This show has really come into it's own this year. I liked it last season, but this season the characters have come alive and the storylines are fantastic.
I really wish Tony Hale could become a series regular, the two times he has been on have been magic.
Hoping for a season 3!!! Make it so.
Paul Roper on February 9th, 2011 11:38 pm
Human Target is one of the best shows on TV…if FOX doesn't realize that I hope it gets picked up by USA or another station willing to give it a FAIR shot…
Sorry the season seemed to end so quickly but the ending did give hope of another season…or maybe a MOVIE?
Mrs darling on February 10th, 2011 12:01 am
Great show! Concerned about where they might be taking Guerrero's character. I hope we'll at least be able to find out what happens there.
Great Character development. Excellent plot lines, Action, and suspense.
Will be waiting patiently for season 3!
Natalie on February 10th, 2011 9:04 am
Best show on TV. Needs to be renewed. So many talented people on it… Please FOX, let it live or let someone who cares take it on…
Tim on February 10th, 2011 10:21 am
One of the best shows on TV that I've seen in many years. This show has me locked in and just wanting more. I know many others who feel the same way. Even my wife loves the show, and she usually watches those garbage reality shows.
Maureen on February 10th, 2011 2:03 pm
RENEW THIS SHOW! It's the BEST since 24……give it time and know people are watching it at other times on Tivo, on demand,internet..Don't cancel.
Andrea on February 10th, 2011 3:18 pm
AWESOME show!! LOVE it! We're so hoping for Season 3, and for it to start soooon!! Loved last night's show but hated it being a 'finale' because now there's no good shows to look forward to next week 🙁
Mike 'Stu' Stuhler on February 14th, 2011 9:36 pm
Great show, and the better ratings of the last couple of eps can't hurt, either. Fox needs to give it a break since it got moved around so much, and let's face it, it makes for great escapism–sp?–tv!
Go Human Target and Go Fox–pick this one up for a 3rd season, please!!!
Vicki on February 15th, 2011 2:46 pm
Great Show and really loved the finale. Great action, suspense, emotion and really thought all of the actors did a fantastic job! Hope to see it in the fall. Loved the new arc with Ilsa and Chance…this really appeals to many of the people that did not read the comic
Oksana on February 16th, 2011 9:01 am
I have several favourite shows, but for some reason I keep comparing these two – Castle and Human Target. Castle has gotten a bit dull, while Human Target, on the contrary, turned into something more shiny.
So I'd really love for Human Target to be renewed for the next year! I'm going to miss it, since in many ways it changed me and helped. Kind of hard to explain.
But anyway, please let it continue!
Debbie on February 17th, 2011 9:01 pm
My husband and I have really enjoyed watching Human Target…..for us it's in the same category as Blue Bloods, CSI Miami and NCIS…..we think it's a winner, and are hoping for Season 3….will be a disapointment if it's cancelled. Sure hope more folks come forward and inquire/respond.
Sharon on March 5th, 2011 11:00 pm
I am not a big TV fan, but I do watch a few shows. My husband was watching this past season and it caught my eye. Now I am running around wanting to know is there going to be a season 3. I would watch it on Sunday. Friday would be the best day. But please bring it back. Like I said I do not watch much tv,due to health issues, and one of the ones I liked to watch the most was Human Target and American Idol. Human target gets my attention because it is entense, dramatic and also funny. Please bring it back for a thrid, fourth and so on seasons. My husband and I have been watching to see if it will be back out again, but nothing has gave us a clue. So my husband had me look on the internet. So I am just voicing my opinion. Please bring it back and keep the same cast. Or give this show to another station. PLEASE!!!!!
Layali on March 10th, 2011 4:37 am
I'm still waiting to hear if there will be a third season of Human target or not, if not then I'll BREAK the TV. There is not other intresting show like Human Target, so come on pepole on FOX , don't lets us HEAT you.
sue on March 23rd, 2011 6:04 pm
I discovered Human target and Castle this season. I Don't think there is a show as well done as Human target. Except for the airing schedule, of course. This show should have a re-run this summer and a season 3 in fall. There are some wonderful music videos of season 2 on YouTube — great advertisement for the show as well an example of loyal fans!
Livian on April 10th, 2011 10:46 am
I love Human Target, its the best show I saw last season, I hope Fox renew it for a third season, I can't wait for the new season, if fox don't renew it for a 3rd season, I hope another network will. The storylines were great, the characters are great, I love everything about the show.
Joan on April 15th, 2011 8:36 pm
For season 3 in Human Target, I'd hunt it down no matter when Fox airs it. In essence, the absolutely incredible and most entertaining show on TV, Human Target, would become my own personal TV Target!
Francisco Dieppa on December 11th, 2011 6:15 pm
Human Target is by my standards the best "crime-spy-action-drama" series ever.
I'm no kid, I'm 69 years old, and I had not enjoyed a series as much as I did this one. And, believe me when I say I've seen them all. Since I live in Puerto Ricvo and the series has not aired here, I am only able to mention it because I collect episodes from my "favorite" tv series and searching for some episodes of NCIS, I came to a website where I fould Human Target episodes. I soon learned there were only two seasons available and began to download them both. As soon as I had them I began watching the first episode (which I viewed at least three times) and went on to view the rest of the episodes. Now I have collectedf all episodes of NCIS, NCIS LA, Bones, Homeland, Person of Interest, Charlie's Angels (2011 recently cancelled), and several others, and I can thruthfully say that although I love NCIS and NCIS LA for the longest time, I find the Human Target is an even better series. I certainly look forward to a third season and more after that. I hope they get to provide at least 10 seasons like NCIS seems to be doing.
What ever I need to do as a viewer to help this happen count me in.
Sti Hasinah on October 16th, 2012 7:10 am
I like to watching HUMAN TARGET..the storyline very interesting.I like the combination between Chance and Ilsa.They are suite together and keep it up,so cute..i like they character that were different.I really hope that Human Target will never end..please.:)..!thank you..


I wouldn't want to be on security detail for the Bush-Maliki meeting in Jordan this week. Bush is despised there, and Maliki has enemies on all sides.
The meeting may undercut rather than bolster Maliki's power, anyway, as Muqtada al-Sadr has already announced that he and his supporters are leaving the government's ruling coalition because of this get together.
Meanwhile, Bush is acting as obtuse as ever.
He won't recognize the reality that there is, indeed, a civil war going on in Iraq. In fact, it's more a like a civil war squared.
Instead, all he'll say is, "No question, it's tough" there.
That's the understatement of the epic.
But Bush won't try them on for size.
There are plenty of troops, and families of troops, who can't be too happy to hear that one.
Because the mission will never be complete.
The mission of democracy in Iraq is way beyond our reach.
The mission of stability in Iraq is way beyond our reach.
There will be no mission accomplished.
Just mission impossible, with more dead troops on that battlefield until Congress finally cuts off funding for Bush's debacle once and for all.


Hoping that Xbox One games would carry a lower price tag because they would be available digitally? You know, Steam-type pricing? Ha! You've been drinking too much orange juice and vodka. This is Microsoft we're talking about, not Valve. Xbox One games will launch physically and digitally for $59.99.
"I can confirm that Microsoft Studios games on Xbox One will be $59.99 (MSRP),"
Digital and physical...digital and physical. Worse yet is that XB1 games carry these kind of prices and having some of the most complicated sharing restrictions I've ever seen. Check it out below.
Previously, Total Biscuit, Penny Arcade and Erik Kain from Forbes all made the argument that the Xbox One's totalitarian policies were to the benefit of consumers because pricing could come down and it would be all happy-go-lucky like Steam. However, these guys were all thinking as optimistic consumers, not realistic executives.
Former EA CEO, John Riccitiello, had already wrote about this very scenario and noted that the PS4 and Xbox One were hedging towards "walled garden" territory, mostly because Microsoft runs a monopoly on Xbox digital software. They don't have a reason to have consumer friendly prices because there is no competition for digital console software.
Calling the cards in Sony's hand isn't even necessary because back in February, after the initial reveal, Jack Tretton made it known that PS4 games would be available between $0.99 and $60. Of course, free-to-play games are still free-to-play and no, the PS4 does not always require PlayStation Plus for free-to-play titles.

Top Lean Six Sigma Trends in 2017 - Duffy Group, Inc.
If you are looking for a systematic way to improve business performance, you may want to consider Lean Six Sigma. By eliminating waste and focusing on lean enterprise and manufacturing principles, organizations can revamp their processes and jump-start performance.
The list of high-profile companies that have benefited from this approach is extensive. The retail giant Staples, for example, implemented Lean Six Sigma methods that created millions in financial benefits by streamlining operations. This ultimately delivered a ten-fold return on the program's implementation costs.
The Lean Six Sigma methodologies have different origin stories: Six Sigma began as a set of process-improvement techniques at Motorola in the 1980s, while Lean manufacturing was developed by Toyota. The idea to merge the two approaches is still fairly young and was introduced only 15 years ago.
Since then, the Lean Six Sigma concept has grown more refined. Expect this to continue as more organizations see the wisdom in following a single, integrated approach to waste reduction and lean enterprise.
Although Lean Six Sigma trace their lineage back to technology and auto manufacturing, they have long since crossed over to a wider variety of industries. Today, you can find Lean Six Sigma disciples in government, healthcare, finance and numerous other fields. This trend will grow even more pronounced in the coming year, as more companies see the value in a lean approach fueled to reduce waste.
Organizations have historically adopted Lean Six Sigma methods in an effort to replicate something that has worked for another enterprise. This "blind adoption" approach is being replaced by a more proactive model optimized to meet the specific needs of a business and its customers.
The result? Better performance, higher reliability and processes that remain lean for the long haul.
Lean Six Sigma has rightly been celebrated for its potential to improve performance by reducing waste and inefficiency. Organizations must invest time and resources to this approach to see long-term results.
Contact us at Duffy Group, Inc., to experience the Lean Six Sigma methodologies they apply to their recruiting process.

'HP govt determined to take action against illegal land deals'
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh said his government was determined to detect all 'benami', or illegal, land deals and take action against those involved.
SHIMLA: Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh on Thursday said his government was determined to detect all 'benami', or illegal, land deals and take action against those involved.
"The government is laying emphasis to find out benami land deals... action has been taken against many but we are determined to find out all the benami land deals and take action as per law," he said.
Referring to the probe against former CM Prem Kumar Dhumal, Singh said that he does not have personal enmity against anyone and added that the investigations which were moving at a slow pace would be speeded up.
"Due to constant provocation from the Dhumals, I have to initiate the probe into their properties," the chief minister said and advised Dhumals that "those who live in glass houses should not throw stones at others".
"The investigations against the Dhumals would be as per the law," he said, adding that nothing would be fabricated and every probe would be fair and impartial and fact-based.
Last week, the HP government ordered a vigilance probe into properties of Dhumal and his family members. The move had come after the state home department decided that the probe would not be entrusted to CBI and investigations would be carried out by the State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau.
On state BJP's decision to launch a state-wide agitation against the government, the chief minister said that it was "childish propaganda" and asserted that the Congress party was in power in the state not due to mercy of the BJP but the full mandate given by the people.
Taking a jibe at the BJP, he said, "We wish BJP to do well, but not unnecessarily indulge in slander campaign and give long 'bhashans' (speeches) just for the sake of criticising me.
"It seems that Dhumals have personal enmity against me... We will give a befitting reply to handiworks of the BJP if it provoked us," Singh added.

A new media station in the Alte Nationalgalerie and an online portal with recent research results on the Mosse Collection were launched today in the presence of Roger Strauch, president of the Mosse Foundation.
The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (SPK) is involved, among other institutions, in this cooperation project. Long before the project was launched, SPK had identified nine works from the Mosse Collection in its collections and returned them to the heirs. With the support of the Kulturstiftung der Länder and the Federal Commissioner for Culture and the Media, SPK was able to acquire three of these works for the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, most recently "Susanna" by Reinhold Begas for the Alte Nationalgalerie. A media station next to the sculpture of Susanna describes the history of these objects.

Injured Derry woman planning 'Push' to regain mobility

Spinal Cord Injury: C-5, C-6
In a study initiated and released in April by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, it was discovered that 40 percent more Americans live with paralysis than originally thought — over five times the number previously estimated.
According to the study, one in 50 Americans lives with some form of paralysis.
Brittany McGraw, 18, is one of those people, left a quadriplegic after breaking her neck in a car accident. But her paralysis is something she hopes is temporary, despite what doctors and surgeons have told her, and she's putting her faith into an organization called Push to Walk to bring her dream of living out of her wheelchair to fruition.
Push to Walk, which was modeled after a similar program called Project Walk based in California, is marketed as a place for spinal cord injury exercise and recovery. In its mission statement on its Web site, it is stated, "The objective is to help people with spinal cord injuries to maintain and improve their physical health and well-being and reduce secondary complications with the ultimate goal of walking again."
Using individualized, one-on-one workout regimes, the Push to Walk techniques focuses on weight-bearing exercises to help gauge the body's response to the stimulus.
Brittany and her parents, Don and Sandy McGraw, first heard about the program just over a month ago, in March, when the "Today" show did a piece on the organization.
On the show, they featured a young boy who had been left a quadriplegic after a serious diving accident. After two years with Push to Walk, the boy had the ability to walk again.
The McGraws were also in touch with a family from Pittsburgh whose son, Shane Bargerstock, who is Brittany's age, was also left a quadriplegic after a devastating football injury. They, too, had heard about Push to Walk, and together, the families decided to give the program a try.
The McGraws started researching the program on the Internet, and Sandy made a call to the organization a few days later.
"I called and asked them about the program, asked what made them different from physical therapy, and they said their goal is to get the person out of the chair," Sandy said. "They don't focus on preparing them to live in the chair."
Pegged as more like an intense workout session rather than physical or occupational therapy, the entire regime is done out of the wheelchair.
Impressed by their initiative, Sandy and Don McGraw delved further into the Push to Walk program, but unfortunately discovered that their insurance would not pay for the treatments and technology. The program is not approved by the Federal Drug Administration because it's not considered a medical facility, but rather is closer to an exercise center.
"They say they've had a lot of success," Sandy remarked. "They don't give you a guarantee, but they say she will improve, at the least. It could be a year from now — it all depends on the program."
Even if the program, for some reason, doesn't result in a person's ability to walk again, the exercises help to fend off complications that can result from a spinal cord injury, such as muscle atrophy and bone density loss.
The McGraws and Bargerstocks will leave July 13 for the facility in Bloomingdale, N.J. The Bargerstocks will be conducting their own fundraisers for Shane's treatment.
Aside from her goal of one day walking again and leaving her wheelchair behind, Brittany said she's hoping to extend her network of support through the program.
"I want to meet some new people, more support groups, people to connect with," Brittany said, noting that people with her condition are so spread out that the only way she really gets to commune with other quadriplegics is through the Internet.
Now a freshman psychology student at Seton Hill University, Brittany was able to graduate with her class at Derry Area High School in June 2008. "I didn't want to get behind," she said.
Life changing experience
McGraw lived the life of any average teenager, going to school, hanging out with friends and preparing to enjoy her senior year before going off to college.
Then one fall night, her life changed drastically.
On Nov. 22, 2005, McGraw was out for a night of fun with her friends when their car stalled on Rt. 30 in Latrobe. As they were attempting to get the car off to the side of the road, a pickup truck rear-ended them.
The impact left McGraw, who was seated in the rear passenger seat, with a broken neck. She was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident.
The only other passenger injured was left only with a broken jaw.
"It was the first time I'd ever let her go out with friends on her own," Sandy McGraw recalled.
McGraw was taken by ambulance to Latrobe Hospital, and from there was taken by Life Flight to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh. Aside from a broken neck, Brittany also sustained a broken left femur in her leg and, due to her neck injury, her right vocal cord was paralyzed.
At UPMC Presbyterian, Brittany underwent surgeries to fuse together her C-5 and C-6 areas of her spinal column, and to repair the femur bone. She also was given an injection into the paralyzed vocal chord to increase its size and allow it to better function in tandem with the uninjured chord.
Brittany spent three and a half weeks at in recovery at the hospital before she was transferred to the Children's Institute for three months to undergo physical and occupational therapy.
The doctors and surgeons at both the Latrobe and Pittsburgh hospitals gave the McGraws little hope, warning them that it was unlikely Brittany would ever again have movement below the neck.
"Her dad and I were told she wouldn't move from the neck down," Sandy said. "But we knew Brit. She's since proven them wrong."
Brittany doesn't remember much of what occurred between the time of the accident and her transfer to the Children's Institute, particularly her stint in the intensive care unit at UPMC Presbyterian.
"I didn't realize what had happened to me at first," Brittany said. "I vaguely remember my mom and dad trying to explain to me."
"She didn't realize at the time that she was paralyzed," Sandy said.
"I thought it might be like this for a while, but I'm definitely getting out of this chair," Brittany said.
When she left the Children's Institute, almost four months after her accident, the McGraws had to make a few adjustments to their home to accommodate Brittany's new needs. A bathroom with a roll-in shower was installed, and because her bedroom was formerly located in the basement, a room was added onto the main floor of the house.
There are two types of quadriplegism, Don explained — complete and incomplete. Brittany, he said, is considered an incomplete quadriplegic because she does have some movement below her neck.
Her occupational therapy focused on retraining her hands and arms to function as normal as possible, to allow her at least a limited use of those limbs.
"They wanted me to be able to write, do my own makeup, use a computer," Brittany said. "But they didn't think I would be able to do most of that."
"I can write by myself, I don't have to have a note-taker at school."
Her physical therapy consisted of a lot of upper body strength training.
"They were pretty much preparing me to never be able to get out of my chair," she said.
But Brittany and her parents weren't satisfied with the fate the traditional doctors and therapists had determined for her.
A few months after arrived home after her stay at the Children's Institute, in June 2006, Brittany began going to an alternative medicine clinic in Monroeville, where she began undergoing photon lighting therapy.
As Sandy explained it, the therapy uses a computer that focuses photons onto Brittany's neck injury site to stimulate the natural healing properties of the body's cells — in Brittany's case, working with the autonomic nervous system.
"It's been successful," Sandy noted. "We started seeing improvements right away. She started leg and finger movements" after just a few treatments, and can now even sit up on her own.
At the clinic, Brittany also works with a trainer who is teaching her various martial arts techniques.
A new regime
When Brittany arrives in New Jersey to begin her treatments with Push to Walk, they told her she would spend at least three hours each day out of her chair, either with on-site therapists helping to steady her, or on different machines meant to help her through the movement of walking. Brittany will undergo the treatments five days a week, a minimum of three hours a day.
Each hour of therapy on the machines, though, costs $100 an hour, and the McGraws have initially decided to stay with the program for two weeks, "Until we can afford to go back," Sandy said.
A fee of $250 has also been tacked on, to cover the training that Sandy will receive on how to carry out the techniques after they bring Brittany home.
As their trip to the New Jersey clinic nears, the McGraws have planned a variety of fundraisers to help procure the money needed to cover Brittany's Push to Walk journey.
On May 16, the McGraws will sponsor a spaghetti dinner fundraiser from 3 to 6 p.m. at the community center in Derry.
Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for children 10 and under, and include spaghetti, salad, bread, drink and dessert. A basket raffle will also take place at that time.
Sandy noted that Delallo's Italian market in Jeannette donated the pasta, sauce, cheese and salad dressing for the cause.
The family is also conducting a car wash fundraiser June 6, 1-3 p.m. in the Bi-Lo parking lot in Blairsville.
A bank account in Brittany's name has also been set up at the Ameriserv Bank in Derry. Donations can be sent to the bank, in c/o Brittany McGraw Push to Walk, at 112 S. Chestnut St., Derry, 15627.
Brittany's faith and resolution in regards to her confinement to a wheelchair have made her parents proud.
"I've never seen her get down," Don remarked about his daughter. "She's never once cried and said, 'Why me,' that I've ever seen."
"She has no self-pity," Sandy added.
"I'm pretty much just a normal person, in a chair," Brittany said, noting that she likes to hang out with her friends, talk to people on the computer, and play video games on the Wii with her younger sister, Ashley, 13.
The outpouring of support from her family, friends and community since her accident has been overwhelming, according the McGraws. Brittany said her best friend's family even purchased her parents a chair-friendly van.
"Her friends will take care of her, anything, she needs, if I'm not around," Sandy said.
Seton Hill University has also been a place of acceptance for Brittany, she said. She attends school full-time, with her mother driving her to her classes fives days a week.
"I really like it," she stated. "Seton Hill has really accommodated by needs."
Don and Sandy McGraw share their daughter's resoluteness in her belief that she will one day regain her ability to walk, regardless of their initial fears after the accident occurred.
"We were very, very scared," Sandy recalled. "We didn't know what the future was going to hold for her, but she's proven them wrong."
"Now it's nothing," Don said of his daughter's chair-bound state. "It's normal to us.
"But not for long," Sandy added.
"We know now that she will get out of her chair. I don't have a doubt in my mind."

If you're new to the world of Oud, one word you hear being chanted all over the place is 'Cambodi.' So, what is Oud Cambodi, anyway?
In the beginning, there was Oud Hindi. This was the deep, reddish-brown juice that was presented to the Sheikhs and Emirs, Sultans and dignitaries in fancy crystal flasks back in the 1970s as the ultimate olfactory wonder.
Well, a Cambodi is a Hindi is a Thai is a Maroke is a Borneo, or any combination of oils from any of these regions. In reality, a 'Cambodi' today is anything but Cambodian. And it hasn't been since 2004. Since the day I launched my first Oud oil in 2004, I have not smelled genuine Cambodian Oud except on two occasions.
Stop. Hold it right there. I am not saying that they are inferior, or not noteworthy oils in their own right, each and every (other) one of them. What I am saying is, by smelling Oud Yusha, you're not smelling Oud Cambodi à la 1970s Cambodi. You're smelling a very different type of Oud Cambodi, if that's what you insist that we call it. You're smelling the 'Cambodi' of the Future. The 'Cambodi' of the Past is now... history (or better yet, archeology).
Think about this for a second. I've distilled I don't know how many Ouds from all over the agarwood producing world, and I have only smelled genuine, wild-harvested Cambodian Oud twice in my life. The first time was when my distiller, having little to show me apart from what I quickly dismissed as mixtures of either DOP or vetiver, found himself between a rock and a hard place, and finally went into his shrine to pull out oils he'd buried there for 25 and 15 years apiece as devotional items. These he wouldn't part with for love or money. I offered him $2,000 for a single bottle (slightly over 3 grams) just to have a benchmark which I show people in order to educate. He declined.

now we'll focus on the R family of effect size measures.
ANOVA such as eta squared.
there's an example of an effect that can be describe by a correlation.
to the amount of Nobel Prizes that are won.
we can plot the amount of the Nobel Prize laureates on one axis.
there we see a strong positive correlation.
I don't want to discuss how correlation does not imply causation, that's obvious.
But here I just want to point at the size of the effect.
in this case a correlation of 0.8 is huge.
small, medium and large effect sizes.
again we're using the visualizations from R Psychologist, great website.
statistical concept such as correlations and other effect sizes.
So this is what the correlation of 0.1 looks like.
A medium effect size is a correlation of 0.3, visualized here as well.
In a large correlation, a benchmark is set to 0.5.
there's no relation between two variables.
a perfect negative correlation, to plus one, perfect positive correlation.
what's correlations look like if you visualize them.
game of fights recognizing effect size measures.
you'll get a better understanding of what different effect sizes look like.
Now previously we talked about the Cohen's D measure of effect size.
Both Cohen's D and correlations can be used to calculate meta analysis.
this is the formula that you might use for this.
Again, I'm not going to go into too much detail about this specific formula.
one effect size into the other effect size.
And there are different spreadsheets online if you want to accomplish this.
used R squared or for ANOVA, eta squared, omega squared and epsilon squared.
the total variance that's explained by an effect.
R squared and eta squared are slightly biased effect size estimators.
And omega squared and epsilon squared are less biased.
In this case, they are not perfectly unbiased, but they are pretty close.
It turns out that epsilon squared is least biased effect size measure.
Although omega squared is more often used and more widely recommended.
papers that compared these different effect sizes.
you can have reproducibility problems based on faulty random number generators.
It doesn't matter too much, you can used both omega squared and epsilon squared.
The difference between the two is actually quite small.
Now conceptually, this effect size measures answer a simple question.
How much does the relationship between x and y reduce the error in the data?
Let's try to visualize this.
there is zero increase in the other variable.
no relationship between the two variables.
And the red squares indicates the sum of squares.
the model to have a relationship between the two variables.
we see there is also an increase in the other variable.
We again calculate the sum of squares, now indicated by the blue squares.
This is the sum of squares of the residuals.
you'll see that most statistical software asks for Cohen's f.
using the formula that's on the screen here.
You can also use statistical software to calculate Cohen's f from eta squared.
A screenshot from G power, free statistical software, is on the right.
you're using G power, there's something you need to keep in mind.
eta squared than statistical software such as SPSS or R would provide.
Now this is great free software, so I'm not complaining.
a different default than most other statistical software.
This is only a situation if you use power calculations within designs.
you need to click on the option box that's available on the screen.
where you can say, I want to input partial eta squared as in SPSS.
then this is the option that you want to choose.
then the power calculations might be off quite considerably.
you're interested in the partial variance explained by only one factor.
For example, a factor that you manipulated.
the less biased partial omega squared or partial epsilon squared.
Now in a one-way ANOVA, eta squared is identical to partial eta squared.
you don't have to type it in.
It's easier just to say eta squared in this situations.
Cohen has provided benchmarks to define small, medium and large Cohen's fs.
Cohen's f of 0.1 is small, 0.25 is medium and 0.5 is considered the large effect.
from eta squared or vice-versa.
Now this is a lot of digits and this is precision that's not really warranted.
the effect sizes that Cohen used into eta squared.
Now Cohen talks about eta squared when he defines these benchmarks.
But he actually means partial eta squared.
Another important thing to keep in mind.
Nowadays we also see more novel versions of eta squared.
is generalized eta squared, developed by Olejnik and Algina.
Now I just want to point out that this exists.
software that automatically provides these generalized eta squared values.
They're very useful and might be the best to report.
In this lecture, we talked about the R family of effect sizes.
Which allow you to quantify the degree of association between two variables.

Join us for our ninth annual Carmelite way Pilgrimage Friday 9 – Sunday 11 November. Contact us to receive up to date information.
A group of 27 people set out to walk the beautiful Lilydale to Warburton rail trail 10-12 November. Amongst the group there was a range of walking experience, some who had walked hundreds of kilometres and some who were unsure of their ability but willing to try none the less. Over three days we walked beside still waters, through groves of eucalypts, past lush farm paddocks and fragrant rose gardens, then cooled our feet in tumbling streams. We enjoyed the camaraderie of our companions in coffee shops in small towns along the way, we identified bird calls and local flora and at times walked in silence. We laughed and prayed and tended blisters. For two nights we slept at Pallotti College at Millgrove, perched on the side of a hill overlooking the glorious Yarra Valley and at the end of our walk we were welcomed by the community of Sancta Sofia at Warburton and shared the Eucharist.
This was "The Carmelite Way", a truly Australian pilgrimage experience and if you think you would like to try it the dates for next year are 9th – 11th Nov. Thank you Irene and Damien for instigating this wonderful opportunity and for offering it to us over the last 8 years.
Loved, loved the weekend again….God's garden is always a wonder and along with the pilgrims we are truly blessed! Fr. Paul made an impact on me. His Theme for the weekend was to "open your eyes"", he asked us to do this at the start and then used the same for his talk to us in the evening on Friday. I love the song and find I can use it as a prayer anytime.
Maybe it would be good to arrange a talk/get-together with Martin about the natural wonders…as he was a fountain of knowledge and really loved the environment.
Fr. Ken and Sr. Kath's choice of "How Great Thou Art" at the end of Mass was so perfect and brought some of us to tears. Amazing ending to our weekend being at Santa Sophia. Thanks to all for all the effort put in.
It was a new addition that you handed out the map of the Rail Trail. I liked to read about things that maybe I had seen but not realized the reasons they were on the trail e.g. The Queen passed along the busy Monbulk Road in 1956, crowds gathered (at the crossing we still make into Mt. Evelyn) and they waved……It brought back the memory for me of seeing her on the same tour but I was in Salisbury/Harare, Rhodesia/Zimbabwe and clearly remember waving madly as the cars went past us! Small world.
Special thanks to you both, wonderful job well done and I'm looking forward to 2018 already.


We have each chosen an Olympic athlete for our inquiry learning during August.
We discussed what we would ask them if they visited our class, because we want to know how you become a world champion.
We researched information about our athletes on the internet and by watching TV news coverage.
We learned to make notes of information we found.
We learned how to present our information in our own words.
Next week we will share our learning with others in our class.
It sounds like you guys have been doing a lot of research. Did you know that the first Olympic Games was in 1896! Good Luck with your presenting.

Yesterday, Super Bowl LIII racked in almost 103.4 million viewers. The event viewership was down 7% from the previous year, which held around 111 million. Some viewers tuned in to watch the New England Patriots go head-to-head with the Los Angeles Rams. Others watched just for the commercials. Every year, companies spend millions of dollars on a 90-second commercial that takes months to plan. Super Bowl commercials have built their own arena, of sorts, and every year they seem to get better and better.
Today, we'll take a look at the top Super Bowl commercials of 2019. Did they top last year's? We shall see.
Usually, Jeep (NYSE:FCAU) brings out the sentiments with its commercials but this year Google brought out the big guns. The company highlighted the heartwarming way in which its translate feature united people of all different cultures.
In usual fashion, Pepsi brought in the biggest celebrities to boost its product. The beverage company has used the most popular celebrities to sell its products for decades. Names include Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Madonna, Tina Turner, Cindy Crawford, and the Spice Girls. This year, the Pepsi Super Bowl commercial featured Steve Carell, Rapper Lil John, and Cardi B.
Hyundai Motors brought some humor to the most 'agonizing' things in life by way of an elevator. Jason Bateman played an elevator operator that would rate these duties in life by floors, and the worse the life experience was, the lower the floor. It's pretty funny, with the vegan dinner party and the six-hour flight, middle seat. Hyundai introduced a new way to buy a car in the Super Bowl Commercial, which aims at taking the anxiety and hassle out of car buying.
Bud Light is always in contention for the top Super Bowl commercial. This time, the popular US beer company combined with one of the world's most popular shows that is set to debut its final season, Game of Thrones. The commercial is getting top ratings among all viewers and even analysts. It seems that everyone is excited for April when the last season debuts.

Lars Ulrich is barefoot as he walks into the Masonic in San Francisco, some six hours before the drummer and his band Metallica are to take the stage to perform a rare acoustic show for fans.
He says a quick hello, then pardons himself to go get ready for our scheduled interview.
A short time later, we're sitting on a couch and catching up a bit. It had been five years since our last face-to-face, which was done in advance of the film "Metallica: Through the Never" hitting theaters in 2013, and Metallica has certainly kept busy in the interim.
Metallica tour dates: Sacramento, Fresno make cut, but not Bay Area?
Notably, the band recorded and released its long-awaited 10th studio album, 2016's "Hardwired … to Self-Destruct," which has been met with some of the best reviews of this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame act's nearly 40-year career.
Metallica has also embarked on a multi-year tour, which touches down at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on Dec. 7. Show time is 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $65-$135, www.ticketmaster.com.
On this particular day, however, Ulrich and his fellow mighty men of metal — lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, vocalist-guitarist James Hetfield and bassist Robert Trujillo – are at The Masonic to do a fundraiser concert for their newly established nonprofit, All Within My Hands.
Q: I know the band has a long history in supporting charities and causes. So, I'm wondering why Metallica decided, after all this time, to start its own nonprofit just last year?
So, we were often suspicious when people would talk about how charitable they were, and how generous they were, because it seemed like there was an element of self-promotion in that.
So, we did what (charity work) we did under the radar. But a couple of years ago — especially in the wake of the way social media really has become such a powerful tool in communication — we realized that shouting from the rooftops about what we're doing would encourage other people to join in. It's really that simple.
Q: And what is Metallica doing through All Within My Hands?
A: The big picture is that it's about giving back to the local communities and the cities that we play in. Our foundation, which is based in San Francisco, is primarily focused on (food) banks and workforce education.
Q: And why did you decided to unplug and make this an acoustic fundraiser?
A: The first acoustic stuff that we were involved in was Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit in '97. It was the first time we were asked to play acoustic. And we loved the challenge.
So, we did that and not only did we surprise ourselves with how much we loved it, reinterpreting our own songs, but I think there were also a fair amount of people who were mildly surprised that our songs would translate into acoustic reinterpretations.
Since then, it's been a part of our pretty wide arsenal of things we like to do. I think we played Bridge School three times.
Q: Including the last Bridge — in 2016 — with Roger Waters also on the bill.
But we love playing acoustic. And we love showing that side of us to the people. But, more so for ourselves, it's just a great balance to all the other stuff that we do. So given a chance to do it, we love to jump at it.
Q: Plus it's a cool way to differentiate this fundraiser from the rest of the tour.
A: This is the first fundraiser, the first event (for our nonprofit). We are trying to figure it out. I hope this will be an annual thing. But, obviously, we're just getting our feet wet with this.
And we're trying to Metallica-ize it as much as possible — do things kind of our way, not just fall into the same format that everyone does when they do these things.
Q: Have you gotten any texts from Sammy Hagar, giving you grief for going unplugged for your fundraiser after he's been using the format for years with his Acoustic-4-A-Cure benefits in San Francisco?
A: Sammy and I text often. It's usually about food and wine and shenanigans. There have been no "grief" texts from Sammy Hagar.
Q: This current tour kicked off in 2017, and I see you have dates announced through the summer of 2019. That's a lot of roadwork. Are you tired of touring yet?
A: We have the luxury, and we are very fortunate, to be able to set a touring schedule that works really well for us. We kind of set boundaries. We have a two-week rule, so that after two weeks we come home and see our families and kids and get a sense of San Francisco. So, for about a decade, we've had a really good setup in terms of how we balance all of it.
It takes longer to play the same amount of dates. But the good news is that our chances for not losing our minds — or for playing all the shows, physically, mentally — are much higher, because we have a pace that we feel is at the right level for us. So, it's good. We still have to go to Australia. We still have to go to Japan. We have a couple of other things planned after Europe.
Q: Any chance the tour will reach into 2020?
Ulrich: This may just dip into the beginning of 2020.
Q: Whoa! Now, that's how you support a new record!
A: The greatest thing about that ("Hardwired… to Self-Destruct") is that we may have made our most successful record in 25 years in terms of reception. Obviously, this record isn't shipping as many units as records did 10 or 20 years ago. But the perception is that it's probably our most well-received record since the Black Album. So, to have that 30-plus years into your career, and to make a record that connects at that level — still — is crazy cool.
Q: It is a great record.
This record is being received with the same appreciation as any of our other records. That's something that we didn't expect.
And that's something that anyone who has been doing this as long as us should never take for granted.

Man injures 6 in attack on Swiss train

AP, Berlin Saturday 13 August 2016
Police in Switzerland say a Swiss man set a fire and stabbed people on a train in the country's northeast, wounding six people as well as himself.
Police in St. Gallen canton (state) say the incident happened at 2:20 local time (1220 GMT) Saturday afternoon as the train neared the station in Salez, near the border with Liechtenstein.
They say the 27-year-old suspect had at least one knife and poured out a flammable liquid, which caught fire.
Police say the wounded included a 6-year-old child, three women aged 17, 34 and 43, and two men aged 17 and 50. Some of the injuries were said to be serious but there were no further details immediately.
Police were investigating the attacker's motive. Switzerland's 20 Minuten newspaper reported on its website that police did not believe the incident was terrorist-related.
In addition to large police presence, the local fire department responded along with three rescue helicopters, two emergency doctors, three ambulances and railroad authorities.
A preliminary estimate says that the train suffered 100,000 Swiss francs ($103,000) in damage.
In July, a refugee from Afghanistan attacked four tourists on a German train, then stabbed a woman as he fled from the train. All survived. Police shot and killed the attacker.
Later in the same month, a teenager armed with an axe and knife attacked passengers on another train in Germany, injuring a score of people. He too was shot and killed by police as he tried to escape from the train.
Last September, a heavily armed gunman opened fire on a high-speed Amsterdam-Paris train, but he was overpowered by two young American soldiers and their companion.

A different subject and perhaps more on the lines of our BLS philosophy thinking. On the weekend something very rare happened in Hamburg, Germany. The people there had the possibility to vote against or for a reformation of the school system in Hamburg. (Hamburg is not only a city but also one of the German federal states.) Why is that a rare occasion? Well, usually we don't get the chance to vote for a lot of things. We elect our government, the government of the state we live in and also the local council. But that is about it. The German constitution gives the people the right to engage in a popular petition. For this to work, you have to get a certain amount of people (min. 1%) to sign the initial petition first. If this works out, the petition will then be legally granted and everyone allowed to vote will have the right to do so. But because the Germans (and a lot of other Europeans) are lazy when it comes to work for their own country, this method of direct democracy is not seen very often.
So in Hamburg now, people were asked to vote for or against the reformation of the current school system. The government worked together across all parties – and the usually "natural" boundaries a different party brings with it – and managed to find a decent and up-to-date solution for one of Hamburg's biggest problems: The ever growing gap in eduction between kids from a poor and rich background. At the moment the pupils go to school all together for 4 year and after that they will split up into three different types of school, depending on their knowledge and skills after these 4 years. This ends in a social gap. A lot of the kids from the poorer end of town basically end up with the lowest educational level. Simply because a lot of them do have an immigrant background. So it was found, that if you would give those kids more time together with others, better educated kids, they would have a chance to also climb up the ladder of higher education.
The government changed the current system for it to be 6 years for all kids together before they would split up and go to different schools. This would give a lot of kids the chance to reach a higher qualified graduation and therefore better chances on the markets of tomorrow.
In Hamburg the people showed no sense for the greater picture. They proved themselves to be self-seekers for their kids. Is it wise to bring up children with such a narrow mind?

I can't embed the video, but in a spare hour and a half, I highly recommend viewing this C-Span Book TV episode: International Affairs - A New Cold War: Inside Nuclear Iran with Reza Kahlili, Michael Ledeen, and Melissa Boyle Mahle.
Of special note is the section that begins about 56:33, Michael Ledeen speaking about 1:00:00,and Reza Kahlili's comments following a question that begins about 1:09:40 dealing with the effects of Iran having nuclear weapons and blackmailing the Arabian/Persian Gulf area (and the rest of the world).
It ought to send chills down your spine.

Q: What book has Earth's surface covered with a raised platform with a jungle underneath? I once read a sci-fi story about a distant future where mankind has recovered the earth with some kind of huge platform, massively increasing its habitable surface. To do this massive task they've been helped by an alien called something like Sissir or Sissyphe (I don't remember its exact name).
Below this platform there is some kind of jungle, with mutated animals and the humans who refused to live on the surface.
I can't remember the exact title or the author of that book, even though I quite liked it. I'd be grateful if someone knows it.
Thanks!

A: I'm quite sure this is "The Realms of Tartarus."  It's been a long time since I read it, but it does have a utopian world built on a platform above the earth's surface with a left-over ecology below, where life evolves in strange ways.
I didn't recall it having any aliens, but according to this page there is an alien named "Sisyr" involved, so that fits your recollection.  That same page says that "Realms" is a trilogy made up of 3 short novels,  "The Face of Heaven," "A Vision of Hell," and "A Glimpse of Infinity."

Toyota Motors Philippines: The Legacy of the 86
By maigne on February 1st, 2019
Why is the Toyota Corolla's legacy momentous?
It was the underground automotive cult icon turned automotive pop idol
It is the drift king's weapon of choice
It is dubbed as the giant slayer
When you talk about the Toyota Corolla, you associate the car with reliability, comfort, and a perfect daily driver that will give you no headaches at all. Never will the thought of performance and a spirited drive come to mind when you think about the Toyota Corolla. Brand new Toyota cars for sale in the Philippines are known to be formidable work horses with unspoiled character and unmatched reliability.
Though it's great on the street, you barely hear of people taking their brand new vehicles from Toyota Motors Philippines out for some motor sport action.
Underground Automotive Cult Icon to Automotive Pop Idol
Back in the day, the story was different. In 1983, Toyota introduced the Corolla AE86 to the world. It was your typical Japanese coupe or sedan; reliable, bland, and cheap. When it hit the shores of many countries, no one knew that this little Japanese car would be an automotive icon. In terms of power figures, the AE86 makes an unimpressive 112 horsepower at 97 foot-pounds of torque.
It doesn't sound like much, but when you realize that this car only weighs 1089 kilograms, then everything changes. Automotive enthusiasts, race car drivers, and tuners all took notice of the AE86's potential. Taking the car to the limit, drivers adored the punchy little Corolla's quick engine response and amazing handling.
The Drift King's Weapon of Choice
The AE86 has participated in different forms of racing events, the BTCC, 86 one make races, and rally racing. But there is one sport where this car truly stands out. Drifting. In the 70s, a Japanese driver, tuner, and street racer, named Keiichi Tsuchiya would take his AE86 around the mountains of Japan. He wouldn't just go out for a spirited drive, he would slide his car through the twisty roads of Japan's mountains to master his car control and driving skills.
People then took notice of his skills and invited him to race professionally. He would dominate the Japanese racing scene with his drift-style driving and later on pioneered the Japan's professional drift event the D1 Grand Prix. Mastering the art of driving sideways with his AE86, the man was known throughout the world as the Drift King. Until today, his car of choice is still the classic Toyota Corolla AE86.
The Giant Slayer
The Toyota AE86's incredible chassis, light-weight body, and front-engine rear-wheel drive layout made it an optimal choice for many race car drivers. This Corolla competed in numerous world-class events. It won the British Touring Car Championship twice, in 1986 and 1987. In 1988, it dominated and was crowned champion of the European Touring Car Championship.
It was a rocket ship group A rally car and also competed in Japanese AE86 one-make races. It took on the likes of the BMW M6, Mazda 929, Holden Commodore, Alfa Romeo 75, and the famous Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 evolution II.
The Toyota Corolla AE86 is truly one of the world's greatest cars. It would be the last of the rear-wheel drive Corollas. The Toyota AE86 has left its legacy in the automotive world as one of the greatest cars Toyota has ever built. To this day, Toyota Motors Philippines has released a successor to the AE86. Named the Toyota 86, this brand New Toyota Car for Sale in the Philippines took the nation by storm as it is a tribute to the great AE86.

Blending Class and Race in Southern Slavery
By Shot Glass of History from Shot Glass of History link Jun 29, 2019
Keri Leigh Merritt's work, Masterless Men, is a fascinating and long overdue examination of the difficult relationship between Southern slavery and poor whites in the Antebellum period. While it is common to focus solely on the effects that slavery had on the enslaved blacks, Merritt discusses in great depth and detail how the institution affected the supposed free whites living on its edges. Specifically, one of the important topics that she brings up in her book is the manner in which the planter class attempted to prevent the blending of race and class in Southern slavery, and the consequences of their failure to segregate poor whites and black slaves.
From the start, American slaveowners tended to defend the institution of slavery for religious rather than racial reasons, but as the system evolved over the course of the 17th century, skin color and culture became the established basis for American slavery. By the time of the antebellum period the Deep South planters took it for granted that slavery was the proper and natural condition for individuals of African descent.
At the same time, in addition to widespread, racial, slave labor, the South was also characterized by a sharp class distinction among its free white population. This class divide had existed with the very first immigrants that came from Britain to the American South, but as time went on the divide only solidified as the planter class used state power to subsidize their hold over the slave population as well as over large tracts of Southern land, with the goal of keeping poor whites disenfranchised, and with the added effect that poor whites were unable to competitively exchange the one thing they did own, their labor. "The region's dependence on brutalized, enslaved labor rendered wage laborers superfluous, and white workers' pay fell as job opportunities continued to disappear. Slave owners thus created a pervasive criminal system to deal with the impoverished." (Merritt, Masterless Men, pp. 266-267). But the legal system was not enough to prevent Southern "white trash" from interacting with slaves and spreading dissent, and throughout the South the same means and organizations that were commonly employed to police blacks were also used against the lower class to enforce segregation.
[M]asters used slave patrols for constant surveillance of both blacks and poor whites. Similarly, slaveholders also relied on extralegal groups like vigilance committees and minute men organizations. Precursors to the Ku Klux Klan, these terroristic groups used violence and threats of violence to maintain the southern hierarchy, and their ranks proliferated with the rise of the Republican Party. Violating a spate of civil liberties laws, the Deep South was a heavily censored society, where speaking of abolition, or reading about class issues, or listening to a sermon on the humanity of slaves could end in a swift death of the accused. (p. 35)
A class of poor, landless whites thus became permanently tied to the bottom rung of a feudal, Southern society, having less social worth, and definitely less economic worth than black slaves. "They were certainly not slaves, but poor whites enjoyed relatively few privileges as whites. Instead, their class status doomed them to continuing cycles of poverty, and limited their civil rights as white American citizens" (p. 266). As a result poor whites and black slaves did not identify by their race, and instead naturally tended to socialize with one another.

I am Muslim in an Islamophobic America. I write daily-blog-like materials so that people can see that not all Muslims are bad people. I do reviews on products that I can get my hands on. My area of expertise isn't extremely blurry, but it can be seen if you wear the right glasses. I have a fascination of hypothetical situations and want to know what would happen if we were to encounter one.

Facebook Page, How's It Look?
I just set up my facebook page, that I'm primarily going to use to advertise. I want to add picture's of art projects, and outside, but this is what I have so far. Very basic, but I needed to start using it as come Friday, I'm down two kids.
Oh, I'm a member that's logged out so this post isn't connected to my name here.
How's it looking so far? This is my play space, that's in a corner of my downstairs family room but they have the whole downstairs to roam. I didn't include a picture of that area as it's not kid centered--it just has a coach, a projector screen, and a couple of toys.
Feedback on the info and how I worded things?

Oh my gosh...I'm so embarrassed!!
It looks very clean which is wonderful for me (I'm a cleanaholic) and I LOVE your little desks and the kids art hanging up. How many children do you care for? Do you do all ages or preschool? Is this the only play area?
I only ask because from the pictures it looks a little sparse, my dk kids would be bored and getting into naughty pretty quick but they are a pretty active group of 2's. You said there was another section of the room with some toys maybe a picture of that would help? I see a family living/pretend play center and a few other various toys but no other "centers". If you put some big pillows on the floor by the books you could have a reading center and some art supplies on the table could be an art center. Do you have any blocks? Musical instruments? If so these things are easy to make into centers.
Sorry if this comes across as rude, I try to give an honest opinion when someone asks about their space and try to give the opinion as if I were a parent looking at placing my children in their care. I would place my children in a home that looked like this but I would also want to know what the daily schedule looks like, amount of TV time etc. because I would think my children might get bored in the 8 hours they are awake and in daycare each day. Hope this helps!
