I'll talk about anything. Try me!
I'm working in a few projects with start ups and small companies, all focussed on helping them build and execute business plans to grow.
Conversations are the catalyst for making things better. From sharing an idea, to improving a relationship, and ultimately world peace – they all start with a conversation. But we just don't focus enough in day to day life on having effective conversations – ones that enlighten, remove barriers, bring new perspectives, allow us to show (and discover) our true selves. But Trigger is 100% about these things.


In 2007, after we returned from the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea and settled in Dallas, I went back to school for my masters in counseling.
Couldn't have done it without them! So grateful that I don't have to.
While a lot of those classes are a blur of long papers, late nights and lots of Diet Coke, a few things really, really stuck with me. One of the best things I took away from grad school was a treasure trove of research by Dr. Deborah Tannen, who is an expert in the sociolinguistic differences in communications between men and women.
Tannen says she's not out to promote gender stereotypes at all, but rather to acknowledge the differences so that we can increase understanding, communicate more effectively, and most importantly, acknowledge that differences are differences, not an indication of emotional weakness or a lack of intelligence. And, if we all understand and appreciate those differences, we'll all be stronger and better for it.
Andy and I have certainly found this to be true in our marriage. We are total opposites in the ways that we approach situations. Our responses to the same circumstances are completely different. Our communication styles are wildly divergent. But we have learned through painful experience to respect each other's varying perspectives deeply, and, most importantly of all, to welcome the differences.
These days when we make a decision together, we are absolutely confident that it's a good decision, because so many varying perspectives have been considered. We don't spend a lot of time correcting each other or trying to convince each other anymore. We just love and value each other in our differences.
Now, I'm not just saying all this for fascination's sake, or to say that this can make your marriage better, or to help you think about how communication can be improved the workplace, although I think Deborah Tannen's research is useful in all those areas.
I'm saying this because I think the issue of male-female communication styles has deeply impacted the church, and the way we think about God and the Bible.
I look at the research of Deborah Tannen about the differences in communication between men and women.
Then I think about how the public voice of the church, the voice we hear week after week from the pulpit, has been mostly masculine.
What have we been hearing, from an almost-exclusively masculine perspective in the church?
Probably a lot about achievement and hierarchy and battling for spiritual success.
When I think about the church having a masculine voice, it doesn't surprise me that a lot of what we talk about is getting our theology exactly right, "us" vs. "them," who's right, who's wrong, and how to protect ourselves against invaders.
I think even women who speak to other women in church tend to speak with a masculine voice. There's a lot of advice from women to women about how to make it to the top, spiritually speaking. How to have the best interpretation of scripture, how to be a successful Christian, how to be a better wife or mother, how to be Mary instead of Martha, or how to keep being Martha while also being Mary (God help us).
What have we been missing out on, when we as a church have silenced the female voice that was created in the image of God?
I think we've missed out on the closeness, the support, the intimacy, the friendship. We miss out on how we are alike, and the wonder of connection.
I think we miss out on the female voice every Sunday morning, when we feel like we have to come to church dressed up just right, with our smiles stapled in place to make sure that nobody judges us as less-than on the spiritual hierarchy.
I think we miss out on the female voice every time we interpret a Bible story as a Great Example to Follow (or a Great Example to Shame You if Need Be) rather than an all-too-human companion with us on this terrible journey through life toward Home.
I think we miss out on the female voice every time someone walks away from church, feeling like they can't have a place if they can't throw their ball up to God.
We miss the female voice when we make Christianity a competition instead of a community.
And I think it happens all the time. People are just so tired of trying to measure up.
I'm not saying that men should stop speaking.
I just wish that the church could find what Andy and I have found in our marriage: that there is an amazing satisfaction in listening to someone who is completely different, while completely valuing that perspective, believing that both of our voices are created in the image of God, and both of our voices are absolutely vital to a strong and healthy way forward. One is not more valuable than the other.
Know this: I am passionately committed to speaking as a woman, whenever and wherever I find myself, knowing that I am inherently valuable, deliberately created as a woman to bear God's image out in this world, with the woman's voice that He gave me.
I am grateful to the strong and beautiful voice of Dr. Jackie Roese, whose work with The Marcella Project to ennoble women has ennobled me this past year. She gives me courage to think with my own brain, and speak with my own voice. Jackie's got a book coming out soon: Lime Green, all about her journey as a woman who does speak from the pulpit in conservative church circles, and who trains other women to do the same.

Similarly, nowhere in the reminiscences of Dr. Watson is the specific birth date of Mr. Holmes given. Nonetheless, the great detective's arrival upon this earth can be inferred by applying his well-known methods of observation, deduction, and analytical reasoning to the clues afforded by the Canon. For instance, in "The Boscombe Valley Mystery," which took place in June 1889, Mr. Holmes calls himself a "middle-aged gentleman." This term is generally and historically accepted as age thirty-five, placing his birth in 1854. Further evidence is provided in the narrative of "His Last Bow," where Holmes is described as sixty years old in 1914, again placing his birth in 1854.
Regarding the precise date of Sherlock Holmes' birth, scholars lean towards January 6th due to certain telling trifles; for as Mr. Holmes said in "The Man with the Twisted Lip," "there is nothing so important as trifles." Chief among these is his notable use of Shakespeare. Mr. Holmes often weaves Shakespearean language into his own—"the game is afoot" from Henry IV, Part I in "The Adventure of the Abbey Grange" perhaps being the most famous—but there is only one play that he quotes twice in the chronicles of Dr. Watson. "Journeys end in lovers' meetings," says Mr. Holmes in both "The Adventure of the Empty House" and "The Adventure of the Red Circle," quoting from Twelfth Night. (It is singular that in both of these instances Holmes says "lovers' meetings," slightly misquoting the line in Act III, Scene 3 reading "lovers meeting.") This repetition is suggestive of a particular fondness for the play or for the date of twelfth night, January 6th. The Valley of Fear furthers the thread of reasoning when it reports Mr. Holmes as being out of sorts on the morning of January 7th, indicating a poor night's rest possibly brought on by merry-makings held the night before—due to January 6th being Sherlock Holmes' birthday.
On this 160th anniversary of Mr. Holmes' birth, the following verses are offered which celebrate all sixty of the Canonical mysteries, as well as many of the mysterious characteristics of the Master himself. Though Mr. Holmes would certainly object to such poetic exaltations, which are antithetical to scientific demonstrations, we will pray that the musical side of his soul make allowances for the more romantic among his bereaved.
Which is the classic adventure, case, or mystery?
And neither say we to such a question – Nay!
We must reply, how can Holmes be thus compressed?
Could never encompass his friend in one fell blow.
But do or die, We Can But Try!
So to the Sacred Writings we shall go.
Which case for these a reason can release?
With cherrywood, the briar, or the clay.
(They are the methods of the Master, don't forget).
To capture the mind to find the Beryl Coronet?
Strike out the Yellow Face and Shoscombe Old Place.
Perhaps the Priory School with its ivy-covered towers?
The Carfax coffin? Jim Browner's bodkin?
Where is the soul of our Bohemian sleuth?
The dog that didn't bark at King Pyland Stables.
Captain Jack Croker? The corrupt stockbroker?
There never was a problem too dark or too deep.
Journeys end in lovers' meeting (or meetings).
But, oh, which case should win this race?
(As Holmes, one day, exulted to pay)?
Or Abe Slaney's cryptic dancing men?
(Instructive – but pray why the deerstalker hat?
What horrors lie catalogued in his 'M' Index?
Cast himself and Holmes beneath the Reichenbach Fall.
And Camden House became a resurrection tomb.
The builder, the lodger, the pale-faced soldier?
What of the naval treaty? The Birlstone tragedy?
O that career of red-haired men and blood-red circles!
Or is it the howling Hound of the Baskervilles?
Which can stand above the rest? Which one?
The truth remains, however improbable.
The crown jewel of the Canon we cannot avow.
Is the man himself who lives at 221B.
Sherlock Holmes novels may be found in The Imaginative Conservative Bookstore.
One shouldn't suppose you were an Irregular, sir?
Not an Irregular, sir. More's the pity. One can only aspire to catch the eye of the Wiggins. We can only possess our souls in patience, as has been said.
Great piece! Holmes and Watson will always live! If not an 'irregular' perhaps a 'pip'?

Pumas engineer their environment, providing habitat for other species
January 8, 2019 February 18, 2021 Supertrooper News, Wildlife
New research suggests that mountain lions in the western United States play an outsize role in changing their surroundings, leading the authors of the study to suggest that the big cats are "ecosystem engineers."
In a study published online Nov. 30 in the journal Oecologia, biologist Mark Elbroch and his colleagues demonstrate that the assortment of animals that profit from the free meals provided by the kills of mountain lions (Puma concolor) ranges from birds and mammals to insects and other invertebrates.
When the team tracked 18 lion kills in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in Wyoming, they found that the dispatched prey, such as deer and elk, supported 215 species of beetles.

But Elbroch, who directs the puma program for Panthera, the global wild cat conservation organization, realized that the beetles and other scavengers weren't just following a buffet.
"They're communing. They're finding their mates on these carcasses," he said in an interview. "They're living their entire lives from larvae to adult form on a carcass and then launching forth into the world in search of another carcass to begin that cycle all over again."
In other words, these carcasses provide habitat for the beetles and countless other organisms observed, Elbroch said.
The researchers found that 113 of the 215 species collected from mountain lion kill sites were carrion-dependent. Image by Josh Barry/Panthera.

Scientists know that some animals have a profound effect on their environment, often changing it in ways that free up resources for other species in the ecosystem. These ecosystem engineers typically function as the bulldozers and earthmovers of the natural world: Think of elephants excavating waterholes that then slake the thirst of other animals, or beavers constructing dams to form ponds that ultimately house a wide range of fish. Mountain lions, Elbroch's team has shown, manipulate their environment in their own unique way.
Their previous research has helped crystallize the importance of mountain lion kills to the myriad other species in the system. It revealed that the larger chunks of elk meat that pumas abandon, for example, are more important to a wider variety of species than, say, the smaller bits that a wolf pack might leave behind. In a December 2017 study published in Biological Conservation, they found that 39 species of birds and mammals visit puma kills — more scavenger species than had ever been recorded around a carcass.
Prior research from members of the team found that mountain lion kills attracted 39 species of birds and mammals. Claw marks here indicated the presence of a grizzly bear. Image by Josh Barry/Panthera.
Elbroch said mountain lions had evolved to kill more prey meat than they needed for feeding. As solitary hunters, they often can't finish a 225-kilogram (500-pound) elk in one sitting. And they're frequently forced to relinquish their prey to more formidable predators such as bears and wolves. That makes them what biologists call "subordinate apex predators."
"They've evolved to survive in a world where they're not the top predator," Elbroch said. "The fact that they kill more than they need is benefiting their ecological communities in startling and amazing ways."
His repeat visits to the kill sites of the big cats he tracks — an essential part of the work of a wildlife biologist who studies predators — led him to wonder how deep into the ecological web the effect of that carrion penetrated. He noticed that the birds and animals weren't just at the carcass for the meat. Small birds would be darting around above the carcasses "picking off flying insects," he said, and vultures would revel in the cornucopia of maggots starting their lives inside the dead animal.
A researcher sets up insect traps near a kill site. Image by Josh Barry/Panthera.
"We have bears doing the same thing," Elbroch said. "They come in and just hoover up these writhing masses of insect larvae."
So Elbroch and his fellow researchers set up insect traps around the kills they were studying, along with a set of controls farther away, and checked them every week for several months. Among the more than 24,000 beetles from 215 species they found, 113 species need carrion to survive. And they found that the number of species, as well as of individuals, was higher around the carcasses, particularly in the first eight weeks after the kill.
"This is habitat. This is not just food resource," Elbroch said. "It's more than that."
He said he also believed this subordinate part played by pumas in the American West was a widespread phenomenon. In their Biological Conservation study, he and his colleagues suggest that six other cats, including the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) on Africa's savannas and the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) in the jungles of Borneo and Sumatra, fill similar roles, collectively covering around 43 percent of the Earth's surface outside Antarctica.
These cats also share a history of threats from humans. They're often scapegoated as killers of livestock. Many also inhabit a fraction of their former ranges, and the IUCN lists them all as vulnerable, except for the puma, with its listing of least concern. The Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi), a subspecies of the mountain lion, is protected as an endangered species by the U.S. government.
That's all the more reason to demonstrate the animals' vital place in the ecosystem, Elbroch said. Right now, he is working with a group of scientists based at Washington State University to explore the effects of puma-killed carrion on the soil chemistry of a landscape.
The team suspects that the kills of mountain lions are a critical resource, not just for scavenging mammals and birdlife, or even the invertebrates that take up residence in them, but for the plant life that anchors the ecosystem.
If their hypothesis holds, "we will have tied vertebrate scavengers, invertebrate scavengers, soil and plant communities all to these kill sites," Elbroch said. "That would be amazing."

New Book Exposes Undocumented Students' Struggles
Emily Wilsoncmaadmin (EDU)
Undocumented University of California, Los Angeles students share their struggles to help advance the DREAM Act.
Pictured here at a stop in Santa Ana, Mario Escobar participated in a student fast in July 2007 to demand immigration reform. Students also took their protests to Pasadena, Bakersfield, San Jose and San Francisco, Calif.
When Mario Escobar was getting a double major in Chicano studies and Spanish literature at the University of California, Los Angeles, money was so tight he often went to class hungry and wore clothes from Goodwill that didn't quite fit. As an undocumented student, Escobar wasn't eligible for financial aid or loans.
Escobar, who as a child fought in El Salvador's brutal civil war where his father, grandmother and cousins were killed, is no stranger to hardship. He says getting an education was worth the sacrifices he made.
"My motto was, 'I can lick the floor for the rest of my life, or I can lick it now,'" he says.
Escobar is no longer struggling like before. In 2007, Escobar received political asylum, and now he's on a full scholarship at Arizona State University where he's getting a Ph.D. in literature.
Escobar's story, along with those of seven other undocumented students, is featured in a book put out by the UCLA Center for Labor Research and Education, Underground Undergrads. It also has information about legislative issues affecting undocumented students such as California's Assembly Bill 540, which offers high school graduates in-state tuition, and the Federal Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, a pathway to citizenship for many college students.
"To our knowledge, it's the only book in the country about undocumented students, by undocumented students," says Kent Wong, a professor at UCLA, who taught the class, "Immigration Rights, Labor and Higher Education," that produced the book.
Wong, who has been at the university for 18 years, says he and his colleagues noticed more undocumented students in their classes since the passage of AB 540. These students' stories and their desire to get an education moved Wong. He partnered with a support group for undocumented students, IDEAS (Improving Dreams, Equality, Access and Success) that Escobar co-founded, to work on the book.
Matias Ramos, a leader in IDEAS whose story is in the book, says Underground Undergrads shows the undocumented students' humanity and will help the DREAM Act to pass. The bill has never come up for a vote in Congress, but its Senate sponsor, Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., intends to try again this spring.
The legislation would allow many undocumented students to adjust to conditional permanent resident status, which could make them eligible for in-state tuition. It would apply to young people who have lived in the United States for at least five years and earned a high school diploma or GED. They could eventually seek permanent residence if they complete at least two years in college or in the military.
"Our stories are crucial to define immigration policy," Ramos says. "I think the book serves to highlight stories about goals and aspirations and families that can be multiplied by millions."
Like Escobar, Ramos came to the United States when he was 13 years old. Ramos' family wasn't fleeing violence however, but the financial collapse of the Argentine economy, where his father lost his job as an accountant and his mother hers running a kindergarten. Ramos threw himself into school, but didn't think he could afford a four-year college until he found out about AB 540, which meant he paid in-state tuition.
Paying the in-state tuition of about $8,000 (opposed to the international tuition of almost $30,000) with no financial aid was still a struggle for Ramos, as it is for Stephanie Solís, an editor of Underground Undergrads. An aspiring writer, she takes time off between quarters to work and save money at jobs including housecleaning, making cardboard boxes and tutoring.
Solís, whose family moved to California from the Philippines when she was 3 years old, grew up with almost no memories of her native country and blissfully unaware she didn't have a paper that made her a legal resident.
"My 18th birthday was coming up so I was thinking I should get a driver's license and register to vote," Solís says. "Eventually after weeks of hearing 'Oh, not now, we have to find your papers,' and a lot of dodging the question, my mom sat me down and said, 'You can't do this.'"
Solís was so upset she moved out.
"It was this huge sense of betrayal," she says. "Like finding out you were adopted or have a secret twin or something."
To feel she was getting on with her life, Solís decided to apply to college anyway, even though she didn't think it was possible to go. She got accepted to UCLA.
"I thought I would just frame it and look at it as a reminder of what could have been," she says of her acceptance letter.
But Solís met other undocumented students who were earning their degrees and saw it was possible for her to do the same. Her experience has convinced her how important it is to speak out.
When she first found out about her status, Solís thought she just needed to go to city hall and take an oath to become a citizen. She thinks many people are similarly uninformed and if they knew more about the situation, they would change their minds.
"I know because I was on the other side," she says. "I used to just not care and think, 'Oh, why don't they get that taken care of?' So I know that a lot of this isn't hate so much as just not knowing."

Tennis Legend Chris Evert Reveals Health Update One Year After Announcing Cancer Diagnosis
by Nick Geddes January 18, 2023
written by Nick Geddes January 18, 2023 7:38 pm
(Photo by Kris Connor/Getty Images for International Tennis Hall of Fame)
Women's tennis legend Chris Evert revealed in an ESPN op-ed Tuesday that she is cancer-free after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer in November 2021.
Evert, 68, said there's a 90% chance the ovarian cancer will never come back. Doctors initially detected the disease early due to the "genetic road map my sister left behind." Evert's sister, Jeanne, died of ovarian cancer in February 2020. She was 62.
"Jeanne wasn't BRCA positive, but genetic testing revealed she had a BRCA-1 variant that was of 'uncertain significance,'" Evert wrote. "I got a call saying they had reclassified her BRCA variant — the significance was no longer uncertain, it was now very clearly pathogenic, and we should be tested. I was shocked, I didn't even know that was possible."
Tests revealed that Evert had the identical BRCA-1 variant that her sister did. In addition, Evert's pathology report found malignant cells and a tumor in her left fallopian tube.
"It is only because of the genetic road map my sister left behind and the power of scientific progress that we caught my cancer early enough to do something about it," Evert wrote. "My doctor said if left undiscovered, in four months' time I would probably have been Stage 3 like Jeanne, with very few options. Instead, I was diagnosed with Stage 1 ovarian cancer, and I immediately began six rounds of chemotherapy."
One More Obstacle for Chris Evert
Evert added that she has one more surgery left to complete.
"I have one more surgery left to complete reconstruction," Evert wrote. "They say this part is easy, but I can assure you, the last five years have not been. As relieved as I will be to get to the other side of this, I will always have a heavy heart. I will never heal from losing Jeanne, and I will never take for granted the gift she gave me in the process. My sister's journey saved my life, and I hope by sharing mine, I just might save somebody else's."
A former world No. 1, Evert won 18 major singles titles. Evert's seven French Open titles remain a record. She is tied with Serena Willams for the most US Open titles of all time (6). Evert has served as a tennis analyst at ESPN since 2011.

Splatoon 3 Is A Streaming Hit In China… But It Hasn't Officially Launched There Yet
By Christine Mason On Sep 23, 2022
Image: Nintendo
We all expected Splatoon 3 to be a huge hit in Japan, but the third mollusc shooter has taken the entire world by storm since its release two weeks ago. It's even made an impact in countries where it hasn't been released! One such case is in China — as highlighted by Niko Partners Senior Analyst Daniel Ahmad — where 46% of streamers across several Chinese streaming services streamed Splatoon 3 since its 9th September launch.
This data has been taken from Niko Partners' China Games Streaming Tracker, and it shows that not only are 46% of streamers broadcasting their ink-tastic gameplay, but 72% of tips on the three services listed (DouYu, Huya, and Bilibili) have also gone to Splatoon 3 streams.
Even though Nintendo's inklings and octolings haven't officially made a splat in China, that hasn't stopped streamers from importing the game. Splatoon 3 is also the first game in the series to have a Simplified Chinese localisation, which is likely widening the game's appeal in the country:
What's even more impressive of 72% of all tips (donations) to streamers that broadcast console games last week went to those that streamed Splatoon 3.
Splatoon 3 is the first title in the series to include a Simplified Chinese localization.
— Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) September 22, 2022
Back in 2021, Nintendo was the market leader in China. Nintendo partnered with Tencent to release the Switch in the country in 2019, which has sold 1 million units. We're sure Splatoon 3 will eventually splash land in China officially which will likely help the console boost Nintendo's place in the market even more. The Switch OLED model launched in China in January 2022, just three months after its worldwide release.
In more Splatoon 3 news, the next Splatfest is taking place this weekend. Make sure you check out our guide to find out what time the competition kicks off in your region or head here to track the best deals on the game if you're yet to buy a copy.

Rabat – A Moroccan-Canadian woman delivered a baby girl during a Royal Air Maroc (RAM) flight between Casablanca and Montreal just a few minutes after landing.
Seven months pregnant, the young woman felt the first contractions a few hours after taking off at 7 p.m. and gave birth at midnight.
The Moroccan company announced the news in a statement.
According to RAM, a professional doctor intervened "successfully" to help the woman deliver the baby. The mother and her newborn are doing well and were transported to Sainte-Justine Hospital in Montreal.
It is not the first time that Royal Air Maroc has welcomed a baby during a flight. In February 2014, when a 33-year-old Moroccan woman gave birth to a baby girl named Ghalia, also on a RAM flight between Casablanca and Montreal.

India, my Love
Inner Voyages: On Sacred Ground
Waduda and Bhikkhu present a video of journeys through India, with music by Chinmaya Dunster.
"How was India?"
As an answer to this question filmmaker Neal Howland replies with a glorious short film, or rather cinematic poem, filmed in New and Old Delhi, Agra, Jodhpur, Jaipur and Udaipur. With narration by Osho.
A spiritual journey
Osho says, "India is the only land in the whole world, strangely, which has devoted all its talents in a concentrated effort to see the truth and to be the truth."
Where's the gap?
Millions of commuters descend on India's railway in Mumbai every day. A special feature of carriages solely dedicated to women, helps avoid male groping, which is still widespread everywhere. Here's a peak what happens at a random platform during rush hour. Published by the Daily Mail on July 28, 2018.
Leaving India and the best shave in the world
Justin Rowlatt, frequently also featured on Osho News, looks back on his three years on assignment reporting for the BBC from South Asia and, in particular, India. Published on June 16, 2018.
My love story with India
From Suha's series 'Beware: Slippery…. Sacred Ground': "I understand the thrill I experience when I get off the plane, that feeling of mystery that surrounds the visitor and sets her heart pounding, as when coming near a sacred space."
Always long-awaited, a collective sigh is heard once monsoon starts in India. The rains are an annual blessing yet often resulting in floods, hardship and death.
How the British colonized India
Trevor Noah's 'Point of View' comedy leaves New York City in stitches!
In India, the sharing of food with others is an ancient important concept; yet sharing does not stop there, writes Naina.
Temples bare of idols
Naina discovers the historical background and significance of Assam's Namghars, the ethnic community prayer halls.
The atmosphere of the real India
Osho speaks on 'India'.
The Sacred Bael
Naina explores the history of the wood apple, a fruit tree native to the Indian subcontinent and considered as being very sacred.
Invitation to the Mother Goddess
Naina writes about Durga Puja, the worship of the mother goddess, one of the most important festivals of India.
Kamakhya
Naina explains the history and present-day worship surrounding Kamakhya in Assam.
Naina takes an in-depth look at the animist religions in Arunachal Pradesh, India.
A Rare Matrilineal Society
Naina writes about one of the last remaining matrilineal societies on the planet in Meghalaya, one of the seven sister states of North-East India. Meghalaya means 'the abode of clouds' in Sanskrit and other Indo-Iranian languages.


Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne is having tests on a right knee injury suffered in training on Wednesday.
City said the extent of the injury suffered by the 27-year-old Belgium midfielder is "not yet known".
Speaking to BBC Sport in a wide-ranging interview to be broadcast during Football Focus on Saturday (12:00 BST on BBC One), De Bruyne said City "will never have a season like last year" as they attempt to become the first Premier League champions since 2009 to retain the title.
After City published news of De Bruyne's injury, the player was pictured wearing a brace around his knee and walking with the aid of crutches at the premiere of an Amazon documentary series that follows the club throughout last season.


Paul Kersey writes "But isn't that all American history has been distilled down to, one long parade of 'white people bad, black people not'?"
Indeed that was imposed as the party line around 1973, and has succeeded in swamping social studies and history texts in middle schools, high schools, and colleges across the land. The concept has now been labeled "the anti-white narrative" and we see it in slurs, stereotypes, hate caricatures, disrespect and supremacy claims by people of color, and an all-out effort to tribalize America so as to bring it into line with the anti-white narrative.
And it is the tribalization of America that has called us out of our ordinary and decent lives to advocate our liberty.

pls don't take that seriously i beg of y'all

You are comparing someone who peaked with over 20million album sales in the 80s to a new artist who cant sell more than 1 million albums and most of his fans stream his music for free.
How many Prince fans already own his music on cd vinyl or cassette?
And he missed many years on streaming services. He will soon have 2 songs with 100m. Madonna for example has zero.
rdhull
It's not. Prince songs are 50 years old. Drakes are new. It should be like that. Hell, the way people listen and buy are different from back in the day so the 'mindset' is more radical. Those numbers for PR and Kiss are hella respectable.
c'mon baby, where's ya guts?
Ugot2shakesumt
That's why I'm ok when an AMAZING commercial like the recent Natalie Portman one that looks more like a sexy video for the song. It brings life to a track to a new generation who might not otherwise been that aware of its coolness.
Persistent Turd is the shit.
Ugot2shakesumthin said:
Hypocrisy at its finest. If it wasnt the so called 'hot' Portman etc but used in a commercial with Phyllis Diller hawking eye glasses you wouldnt be okay with it.
So commercialism is ok to you if it fits a certain agenda, is hip cool, and uses your ideals of beauty.
rdhull said:
Lol. It's called context. That's the word you should be thinking of.
Silvertongue7
It's funny you wrote that, as I was just discussing with a friend what Madonna's place in music is. Does anyone listen to her music, new or old, anymore? I genuinely don't know, but to me it seems that she doesn't have any of the good will from the public that other contemporary acts like Prince, MJ, Janet or Springsteen enjoy. But surely that's a topic for a different thread (and apologies to any Madonna fans if it turns out that I am wrong and she's still as popular as she's always been)
Reply #10 posted 10/05/18 9:32am
Ok chief
Oh sure. My comment was more about the sad state of music today than anything else.
Silvertongue7 said:
I used to listen to Madonna (I still think Like a Prayer is the best song she ever recorded) but she jumped the shark one too many times and I just became border with her shtick. Prince grew up, Madonna never did.
oh ok, gotcha. Agreed.

This Drake fellow might be hitting a billion, nevertheless I have no idea who he is. I've heard his name but I have no clue what he does or what he looks like. I could google him, of course, but I won't bother. So for all his billions of streams, he still hasn't been able to reach me, which makes quite a loser of him if you ask me

I'm glad Kiss, which is not on Purple Rain, is his first song with 100 million Spotify streams. It's nothing against Purple Rain (the album), which is my favorite Prince album. I just don't want Prince to be pigeonholed as "the Purple Rain guy". While PR is the centerpeice and most renowned part of his legacy, his legacy is much more than the Purple Rain era.
As a side note, Kiss was the first Prince song that I really really liked!

The twisted side of my old soul wants to see what happens when an old school artist like Prince outstreams a current name like Drake.
I mean it is possible. Just a few years ago older albums were documented to be outselling modern ones and just last year I believe Lionel Richie and Bruce Springsteen had the biggest tours of the year. Let's see what happens if a new vault album actually outstreams the latest project by a Drake or Taylor Swift. I doubt it'll happen but I'll enjoy it if it does

Streaming is what radio was pre-internet. That's how this generation gets it's music. It has nothing to do with anything other than the media and zeitgeist.
That's why Ed Sheeran has the most streams. ED SHEERAN for god sakes. Even though I like Ed, c'mon, that only says it's about a certain generation and the moment not anything else.
Looking at the top 100 streaming songs of all time, most are only a couple of tears old. The oldest track on the top 100 is from 2011.
The track with the most streams on Spotify is "Shape Of You" from 2017 with 1,931 million streams.

Menard Set To Start 16th At Kansas
Speedway Digest Staff
Friday, May 10 2077
Paul Menard and the No. 21 Menards/Dutch Boy Mustang have earned the 16th starting spot for Saturday night's Digital Ally 400 at Kansas Speedway.
Menard, who was 19th fastest in Friday's opening practice with a best lap at 175.816 and 24th in Happy Hour with a lap at 175.638 mph, upped his speed to 176.217 mph in qualifying.
In a media session at Kansas prior to qualifying, Menard offered his insights on Saturday's race.
"I think tomorrow night you will see that there are a couple cars that kind of stood out that could potentially get away from the pack, but outside of that it is going to be double-file and three or four-wide on restarts and then it will start to single out," he said. "Tires will come into play. We put new tires on and it handled way better than it did with 30-lap tires. It is all part of the deal."
He said he was surprised to see cars up against the outside wall early in the race weekend.
"We are wide-open around the bottom, and you could go wide-open there and wide-open around the top but the top came in pretty good," Menard said. "It keeps momentum up. In the past you could run about three or four laps on the bottom and then stick it to the wall. I think you will have more options but I think the top will still be preferred."
But he said that with this year's higher downforce/lower horsepower package, it's hard to say exactly how Saturday's 400-miler will play out.
"Our notes from last year at Kansas and years past - we have been racing here a long time - the track has certain trends and usually frees up when the sun goes down," he said. "With this package, we don't know what it is going to do. It could free up or maybe the package lends itself to be tighter, we just don't know. I guess what we learned [in practice] is that we don't know."
Menard and the Menards/Dutch Boy team will find out how the package plays out when the green flag drops at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time. FOX Sports 1 will carry the TV broadcast.

Things were vastly different in 1951 when Tom and Kay Wing moved their family to Claremont, California. At age 4, their daughter Carolyn was about to spend the next 13 years experiencing life from the inside of their custom house, being reared in the combination of old Chinese and new American ideas that her parents chose from navigating their own difficult pasts. With brilliant, dynamic, powerful parents, and an older sister who excelled at everything; through the rigors of childhood, the brutality of junior high and the awkwardness of high school, Carolyn must fight for a place of her own. With great insight and humor, Carolyn Wing Greenlee tells of these years in a way that is poignant, captivating and deeply touching.

Media release: "Starting Out in the Hobby, With Kenneth Bressett's Whitman Guide to Coin Collecting"

Starting Out in the Hobby, With Kenneth Bressett's Whitman Guide to Coin Collecting
by Dennis Tucker
Coin collectors have long been fascinated by the great rarities of the numismatic world. Even if we can't afford them, we love to learn about them, to look at them, to marvel over their fantastic stories. We're inspired (often amazed, and sometimes shocked) by the adventures of the "super-collectors" like King Farouk of Egypt, a decadent monarch who drained his treasury to indulge his pastimes . . . the fabulously wealthy Colonel E.H.R. Green, who could afford any coin he wanted and once owned all five 1913 Liberty Head nickels . . . and Louis Eliasberg, the only collector ever to acquire one of every federally issued United States coin.
Of course, we know that we'll never be an Egyptian king, and few of us will ever attain the wealth of, for example, Chicago beer brewer Virgil Brand, who owned 350,000 coins (including more than two dozen $4 gold Stellas). But we can aspire to maybe, just maybe, be a John Jay Pittman—an "ordinary working man," happily married for 60 years, a chemical engineer for Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York, who had to collect coins on a regular budget. When Pittman's collection was auctioned in the late 1990s, it went for more than $30 million.
Here at Whitman Publishing headquarters we know thousands of hobbyists who got started collecting coins from their pocket change. In the 1940s you could still find Liberty Head nickels dating from the 1880s to the early 1900s in circulation. Buffalo nickels, minted from 1913 to 1938, continued to serve American commerce into the 1950s. Wheat cents became obsolete after 1958 (replaced by the Lincoln Memorial design in 1959) and entered the realm of coins to be picked out and set aside. Then in 1965 the alloy of most of the nation's silver coins was changed to a copper-nickel composition. It didn't take long for older silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars to completely disappear from circulation and go into collections and piggy banks. And in more recent years, hundreds of thousands of new collectors have joined the hobby by saving State quarters and other circulating coins.
This simple style of collecting common-date coins at face value is the foundation for much of today's hobby. Numismatics is no longer an elite "gentlemen's club" reserved for the wealthy. Now it is a popular pastime, fueled by the quarters found in our pocket change, pursued by countless schoolchildren, waiters and waitresses, cashiers, computer techs, mechanics, farmers, college students, and other "ordinary" Americans.
Rich or poor, every hobbyist needs to start somewhere. If we're lucky, we do so with the guidance and mentoring of experienced collectors and teachers like Kenneth Bressett. Ken has been active in the hobby since the 1940s. He has worked continuously on the Guide Book of United States Coins (the annual retail and history guide known as the "Red Book") for more than 60 years. He was officially recognized with the title of editor in 1974, taking the lead from the Red Book's founder, R.S. Yeoman. Today Ken serves as senior editor and paterfamilias for the Red Book, the Blue Book, and the massive Mega Red, the 1,504-page Deluxe Edition Red Book. "Senior editor" is not an honorary title, but an active role that benefits greatly—and uniquely—from his constant study and exploration of American numismatics.
The Whitman Guide to Coin Collecting, first published in 1999, is one of Ken Bressett's many contributions to the hobby. The book's goal: to provide a much-needed gateway to numismatics, offering in a single volume everything new collectors need to get their feet on the ground. Not surprisingly, the "Yellow Book" (as it has come to be known) proved to be a popular beginner's guide. It was updated and revised several times, including in a new edition in 2003. It has been a best-seller for nearly 20 years—an "evergreen," as we say in the publishing world.
We later published two companion books to give hobbyists a complete set of guides for every level of collecting. For intermediate collectors who want to continue expanding their knowledge there is Q. David Bowers's Inside the Rare Coin Marketplace, and, for advanced students ready to fully immerse themselves, Bowers's Expert's Guide to Collecting and Investing in Rare Coins.
The journey to expertise begins with the tried-and-true "Yellow Book." The expanded Golden Edition, which will debut on the Fourth of July, 2017, has been updated with new information and guidance for today's hobbyists, and upgraded to full color, with even more illustrations. Its readers will enjoy a one-on-one appointment with Ken Bressett, who opens the vault doors to his immense storehouse of practical, hands-on knowledge. It's the perfect welcome to the world of coin collecting.

From there, the data is transmitted to a fixed point, which is almost always some type of radio tower. A signal is then broadcast, and this can be picked up by subscribers' equipment as long as they stay in required proximity of this tower.
Fixed wireless varies from satellite internet technology, in that the former takes a point-to-point approach to delivering internet access to customers. By contrast, satellite uses a different approach that gives broader coverage area, although it causes a lot of latency, as well as reliability issues. Fixed wireless is available to rural customers in the United States at relatively affordable prices. Its coverage is flexible too, which in many cases makes it a robust alternative to satellite internet service. Fixed wireless also performs better in bad weather conditions, although erratic weather can still affect overall performance.
Fixed wireless plays a key role in bridging the digital divide or connectivity gap. Many major yet cheap internet providers offer it in order to reach out to underserved or unserved houses, following a directive from the Federal Communications Commission. A simple online search for a "best internet provider in my area" should show you which providers are offering fixed wireless service in your neighborhood.
It is easy enough to confuse fixed wireless service, LTE, and cellular internet connections. Cellular data comes from a range of distinct Wi-Fi access points that act collectively act as a wireless mesh network, letting users pick up data from several access points as they move around the place. Fixed wireless signals, on the other hand, originate from a fixed point, and are sent to a subscriber's house through a line of sight.
Generally, connection speeds tend to be highest with fixed wireless; they reach 10 to 30 megabits per second, while with a mobile hotspot, you typically max out at a relatively low 4 Mbps.


This living room sums up all the elements of the house: it's big and open yet also intimate. The painting above the sofa, by New Zealand artist John Crawford, inspired the colours of the house.
The low-level table is an original door from the barn on a Habitat shelf unit. BoConcept sells grey modular sofas like this, and try Marks & Spencer for neutral cushions.
An internal wall was removed on the ground floor to create a large, family-friendly kitchen and dining room. Light catches the concrete kitchen units, making the space look warm and tactile. The worktops are a striking statement next to the rustic, stone walls and sandblasted beams, and means the space is far-removed from a twee country kitchen-diner.
For large floor tiles, head to Stonell Direct.
The owners designed the kitchen themselves. The high-gloss units blend seamlessly with the black, waxed-concrete worktops and breakfast bar. Simple drum shades used in an unexpected way add real impact. Hang one low in place of a standard lamp, or line up three or four in a row over a kitchen island for a stylish recurring theme.
For similar, inexpensive white shades, check out John Lewis. For high-gloss kitchen units, try MFI. Lowinfo specialises in concrete worksurfaces.
The master bedroom is intimate and tranquil, with beautiful views from every window. Historic and modern elements blend seamlessly.
The White Company stocks embroidered white cotton bed linen. Retrouvius has wrought-iron tables like this.
A modern bath makes a statement when contrasted with a warm wooden ceiling and rustic stone tiles. Light fills this large open-plan bathroom adding to the calm and relaxing vibe.
The basin is by Villeroy & Boch. Try Stone Age for slate floor tiles. Lowinfo can create a concrete bath surround.
Although the house is in France, the owners wanted their home to echo contemporary New Zealand architecture – mixing old and new, rough and smooth textures. In the hallway, the beams and rough plaster form a striking contrast to the delicate crystal light fitting.
Find something similar at Christopher Wray. Baileys sells folding chairs like this.
The guest bedroom is filled with laid-back, French country charm, with a low bed, pretty linens and rustic dressing table.
Next has antique-style mirrors like this.
This glass internal door is a pleasing contrast to the rustic materials elsewhere. It means light is the only thing that flows through the space – warmth, noise and cooking odours are all contained. The owners designed the cantilevered staircase specially.
For a door like this, try Bespoke Architectural Structures. In the UK, building regulations state that you would need to have a balustrade, but a glass version wouldn't detract from the sense of space this design gives.

Is this Gareth playing a part in the Only fools and horses Fatal Extraction riot police scene?
Nice article and Wow, I never realised that was Gareth Gwenlan on the horse. I've just checked it out on the IMDb and it's true!
I love it when I learn a new OFAH fact after all this time. Just like when I was made aware of John Sullivan being in the Nags Head in 'Time on our hands'.

RDL — XML-приложение, главным образом используемое в Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services. RDL обычно пишется при помощи Visual Studio, хотя и существует множество сторонних инструментов; также можно создавать или редактировать вручную при помощи обычного текстового редактора. Microsoft Reporting Services или другие сторонние фреймворки отчетности используют RDL для описания таблиц, графиков, вычислений, текста, изображений (через ссылки) и прочих объектов отчета, и записывают их во множестве форматов.

В типичном RDL-файле существует три главных раздела:
 Разметка страницы — объекты отображаются вместе с полями, изображениями, графиками, таблицами.
 Описания полей — расширенные атрибуты полей, заполняемые формулами, динамическими данными или информацией из баз данных.

How bereaved men are being encouraged to open up with a bit of DIY
A place for missing men
With bereaved men often finding it difficult to seek emotional support, hands-on initiatives like DIY workshops are providing sanctuaries where they can open up. Steven Short finds out how the MCF is helping in the hospice care sector
When a partner or family member dies, those looking after them not only have to say goodbye to the person they've lost, but also to their own identity as a caregiver. Many people have made great sacrifices to look after a loved one, often over months or years, and as this responsibility ends it can bring a sense of 'Who am I now?' as well as questions about the future.
At the same time, the bereaved can often feel cut adrift from those around them – and the support they experienced leading up to the death – at a time when they perhaps need it most, facing the practicalities of sorting out funeral and financial arrangements.
Hospices across the UK have, for many years, been accompanying people on this difficult journey. And the masonic community has long supported the incredible work they do – more than £12 million has been donated towards the operating costs of hospices throughout the country. Over time, it has become apparent that women are much more likely than men to seek out care and support, and that there is a need for programmes tailored to men who are bereaved, caregivers or coming to terms with their own illness. In response, a number of unique initiatives – such as 'man sheds' – have been developed to help these 'missing men'.
A NEW WAY OF FUNDING
Historically, the Masonic Charitable Foundation (MCF)'s support for hospices has been via small grants across all Provinces. However, the MCF has determined that funds should be directed to where they're needed most, helping to plug gaps in service provision and make the biggest impact. Working with Hospice UK, some of this year's MCF grants will focus on bereavement support services.
'We are constantly looking to improve our grant-making,' says Katrina Kerr, head of charity grants at the MCF. 'Our hospice grants in recent years undoubtedly made a tremendous difference in the palliative care sector, but over time it became apparent that we could direct the funds so generously donated to us by the masonic community in a more effective, strategic way.'
Due to the spike in births after the end of the Second World War, a generation of baby boomers is entering its seventies, meaning that now is a good time for Hospice UK and the MCF to be thinking about palliative care and bereavement support.
Karl Benn, head of grants at Hospice UK, agrees. 'In the past year, hospices have supported around 46,000 people – adults and children – in coping with the death of a loved one,' Benn says. 'So there is clearly a need for bereavement care. We also talked to our members, who agreed that this was an area we should be focussing on.'
Benn and his team have worked with the MCF to develop and oversee the application process as well as the awarding of the first £150,000 allocated for grants through the new programme. 'It was heavily oversubscribed,' he notes. 'We received applications for £1.5 million, so making our final allocations was really difficult.'
Grants were ultimately awarded to innovative bereavement support projects at hospices in seven Provinces, namely Staffordshire, East Kent, Sussex, Warwickshire, Essex, South Wales and West Lancashire, and in London. These focussed grants were in addition to £450,000 awarded in small grants last year to support 245 hospices under the former programme. Later this year, a further £300,000 will be available to fund the bereavement and support programme, with an additional £300,000 awarded in the form of small general grants as the new programme is introduced gradually over the coming years.
'Terminally ill and bereaved men are very often reluctant to access traditional support' Kathy Birch, Princess Alice Hospice
REACHING OUT TO MEN
Among the initiatives are several focussed on supporting men through the bereavement process. These will be hands-on, practical initiatives, where men can, in Benn's words, 'do some DIY, or work on renovating furniture – something they can get involved in rather than sitting around a table talking about feelings, which isn't right for everybody.'
Martlets Hospice in Hove, for example, will run a men's allotment project, while St Mary's Hospice in Ulverston will introduce a 'Make Do and Mend' initiative. At the Princess Alice Hospice in Esher, Surrey, a Man Shed project is underway. The Man Shed, which will also be trialled at other hospices, offers the opportunity to engage in practical activities and learn skills while receiving 'shoulder to shoulder' support.
'We had noticed at the hospice that the number of bereaved women who were coming forward to us for care and support outnumbered men by three to one, and so we sought to identify a new way to address this unmet need that was right on our doorstep,' says Kathy Birch, day service programme lead at Princess Alice. 'We wanted to reach out to the missing men within our communities, including bereaved husbands who have lost their sense of purpose, men who are caring for their partner and need someone to talk to, and men coming to terms with their own terminal illness.
'Terminally ill and bereaved men are very often reluctant to access the traditional family-support offering, such as formal counselling or listening. Our data on those who seek care and support within a "traditional setting" certainly backed that up,' Birch continues.
Kerr from the MCF agrees. 'Men can find it more difficult to build social connections than women. It's an unfortunate reality that men are less likely to share concerns about health and personal worries.'
The knowledge that men can find it hard to open up, especially in a formal face-to-face setting, inspired the team at Princess Alice to create the Man Shed programme. Birch says, 'Our missing men can come together and put their skills and energy to use with a high degree of autonomy while talking to others who may be in the same situation and getting the support they need to face the future.'
A SPOT FOR SHEDDERS
The Man Shed idea originated in Australia, and Princess Alice is one of only a few hospice-based Man Sheds in the UK. As the name indicates, the shed at Princess Alice is a building consisting of a DIY workshop and a communal lounge. It was officially opened in June 2016, and within a month the hospice had 13 'shedders' (patients, carers and bereaved relatives) involved in the project. By January of this year, that figure had risen to 112. Of those, 85.7 per cent are men, reflecting the need for spaces where they are able to cope in their own way.
At the Man Shed, shedders produce everything from bird boxes and chopping boards to bespoke memory boxes, which are then sold to raise yet more invaluable funds for the hospice. Shedders and project leaders also have come up with innovative ideas to help patients of the hospice, including a special raised cupholder that allows people who use a wheelchair to take a drink without having to bend over. They have also made a mobile trolley for the hospice library and benches for the garden.
'I have cancer and I am a regular at the Day Hospice's weekly social group,' says one shedder. 'I've recently started to visit the Man Shed and have made some smashing friends. When you walk in it feels like the sun has come out and the heaviness is lifted from your shoulders. Talking to people who know what you are going through really helps.'
Two teenage boys recently attended the Man Shed when their father was terminally ill, as he wanted them to learn vital skills while he could still be there. 'Freemasons are fortunate to have a network of brethren around them for support during difficult times,' Kerr says, 'but not everyone is so lucky. Our grants will help to improve provisions for members of wider society.'

KIM LANDERS: James Curran is a professor of history and author of the Lowy Institute's recent paper, 'Fighting with America: a History of the Australia-US Alliance'. I spoke to him a short time ago.
James Curran, can you believe that a phone call between two long-standing allies can be so hostile?
JAMES CURRAN: Well, you would have to go back a long way to find this kind of hostility so early in a new administration. You'd have to go all the way back to 1972, when Gough Whitlam got under Richard Nixon's skin.
You'd also have to go back a long way, Kim, to find the details of a confidential discussion leaked - and certainly to see a United States president tweeting in such a hostile fashion about a deal.
KIM LANDERS: Well, let's talk about that tweet. As you say, in the past few hours, President Trump has tweeted that he's studying this - and I quote - "dumb deal". Even after that, Malcolm Turnbull has been adamant that the deal is still on. Is the Prime Minister being realistic?
JAMES CURRAN: Well, Turnbull has been sort of "absolutely absolute" since Sunday that this deal is going ahead.
But I suspect that the penny has dropped in the White House that this conflicts in a major way with the executive order that Trump released on immigration late last week and that it conflicts against the very strong message of his campaign about immigration and protecting American borders, but also about his view of alliances: and that is that allies have been getting too much from the United States in the past; that they've been getting too much of a better deal and that the United States has been ripped off.
So on those two issues, it really plays into key sensitivities for new President Trump.
KIM LANDERS: Now, the Prime Minister says that this was a robust conversation. Officials have confirmed that it was shorter than expected. Do you think that it means that our alliance is at risk?
JAMES CURRAN: I don't think the alliance is at risk. I mean, we've had very robust, very hostile and quite visceral discussions with the Americans in the past. We've gained a greater respect, at times, from those.
What I would be worried about, though, is: this shows again, I guess, the recklessness, the impulsiveness, the volatility in this new President. The alliance will survive it but Australians need to be, I guess, ever more vigilant and careful and prudent in how they deal with this new administration.
KIM LANDERS: During this weekend conversation, the Washington Post has reported that President Trump accused Malcolm Turnbull of seeking to export the next Boston bombers to the US. Now, this seems to be an extraordinary tongue-lashing.
What will happen, I'm thinking, for example, if the US starts to ruffle the feathers of China?
JAMES CURRAN: Well, this is right. And this is what is so unexpected and so volatile about this new administration.
I think, as well, Trump will want something from this deal if it goes ahead. What we don't know is what the Australian Government has said they will give in return.
KIM LANDERS: You really think that the Prime Minister might have made a deal like that?
JAMES CURRAN: Well, the suggestion has come out of American sources that there will be some kind of quid pro quo - and there's no doubt that Turnbull is desperate for this deal to go through.
As I said, one has to be cautious. We don't know if the Government has agreed. But if there is some kind of quid pro quo and Australia is preparing to trade its national security interests to shore up this refugee deal, then I think that's a major problem and that's not in the national interest of this country.
KIM LANDERS: So do you think Australia would be wise, perhaps, just to walk away now?
JAMES CURRAN: Well, I think Turnbull has staked too much of his personal and political credibility now in this deal going ahead. So if it falls through, it's a fairly humiliating snub for Turnbull from a new administration. And I think he's invested too much in it to walk away.
KIM LANDERS: If the relationship is off to a bit of a rocky start, is there anything that's so bad about that?
JAMES CURRAN: Ah, no. What I would say, though, Kim, is that if this is the kind of tone that is going to mark the relationship on - let's face it: this is an important issue but it is not, as you made the point before, it is not as major as, say, potential conflict or tension in the relationship with China.
But if this is the kind of tone that is being set early in the relationship, then that is a problem. You know, the leaking, as I say: how much confidence will that give the Australian Government that its discussions behind closed doors with this administration are really going to be kept secret?
And in a big issue - like a crisis, right: how will this play out in a crisis? That's the real worry we have with Trump, I think. How will he react in a crisis?
KIM LANDERS: So far, Malcolm Turnbull has been fairly muted in his response to what's been happening. Is that a wise strategy to take? Is there nothing to be gained, for example, if he was to, you know, use some forceful language of his own?
JAMES CURRAN: At some point, I think, there is going to have to be a recalibration of language by both the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister. Reading some of their statements since the election of Trump, it's almost as if nothing has changed in America.
They surely must realise now that the old language of stressing shared values - and there are some real questions about whether we share some of the values of Trump's version of America - that that language and appealing to the battle of the Coral Sea and the history of shared sacrifice, as valid as all that is: it will cut no ice with the Trump White House.
This is an ahistorical administration. They have no time for the old history that used to work so well in the past.
And if the Prime Minster and the Foreign Minister think that that kind of language is going to cut through, I think they're going to have to do a very quick re-think on a different kind of rhetoric to approach this administration.
It doesn't mean poking them in the eye or kicking them in the shins, but it doesn't mean stressing the old, stale rhetoric.
KIM LANDERS: James Curran, thank you very much for speaking with PM.
KIM LANDERS: Professor James Curran from the Lowy Institute.

The new membership, roles and profile features introduced in ASP.NET 2.0 significantly reduce development time that is otherwise spent in traditional approaches. Securing your web site by implementing a flexile membership scheme backed with role based security is required in many professional web sites. In this article series we are going to see these features in action with the help of an example.
The web site has three roles - NormalUsers, PowerUsers and Administrators. When a user registers with the web site by default he is assigned to NormalUsers role. Later on the administrator may add him to any other role. Whenever anybody tries to access the web site, the user should be asked for User ID and password. Upon supplying a correct User ID and Password the user should be taken to the main page of the web site. Depending upon the role of the user the content of the main page is rendered.
In order to store Membership, Roles and Profile data in a SQL Server database we must configure it using aspnet_regsql.exe command line tool. The tool starts a wizard that guides you through the steps. The tool creates certain tables and stored procedures in the database that are used by these features. Figure 1 and Figure 2 shows the main steps of this tool.
The step indicated by Figure 1 allows us to configure the database for membership, roles and profile services. The same step can be used if at all we decide to remove the services for some reason. The step indicated by Figure 2 allows us to specify the database that is to be configured.
Though not mandetory it would be interesting to know the tables used by these features. The following table lists the tables used by membership, roles and profile features respectively.
The markup consists of various sections.
In order to create roles needed by our application, we will use Web Site Administration Tool accessible via WebSite > ASP.NET Configuration menu option.
Figure 3 shows the Security tab of this tool.
As you can see the Roles section allows you to create or manager roles of the web site. Figure 4 shows the roles created using this tool.
Traditionally developers used to create a user registration page by assembling various controls such as TextBoxes, DropDownLists and Buttons. Fortunately ASP.NET 2.0 comes with a control called CreateUserWizard that simplifies the job. This control not only provides readymade registration functionality but also allows you to customize it. In our example the first five pieces about a user i.e. User ID, Password, Email, Security Question and Security Answer are collected by the control out of the box. In order to collect the remaining pieces we need to customize the control by adding our own "Wizard Step".
Proceed by adding a new web form called Login.aspx. Drag and drop a CreateUserWizard control on it. From the smart tags select "Add/Remove wizard steps" to open a dialog as shown in Figure 5.
Add a new "Templated Wizard Step" using Add button and set its Title property to "User Profile" and StepType property to Step. Now design the step as shown in Figure 6.
The template consists of TextBoxes and RequiredFieldValidator controls for accepting extended user information (profile). After you finish designing the template add the following code in NextButtonClick event handler of the CreateUserWizard control. This event is raised when the user click on any Next button.
Here, we check the index of the current step via CurrentStepIndex property of WizardNavigationEventArgs class. Inside the if condition we get reference to each TextBox with the help of FindControl() method. The value entered in the textBox is then assigned to the corresponding profile property. Note that the profile properties that you specified in the web.config file appear as properties of the Profile object.
We want that initially all the users be part of NormalUsers role. This is done by handling CreatedUser event of the CreateUserWizard control.
Here, we used AddUserToRole() method of the Roles object to add the current user to NormalUsers role. The user name is retrieved via UserName property of CreateUserWizard control.
Finally, set the ContinueDestinationPageUrl property of CreateUserWizard control to Default.aspx.
That's it! You can now run the Login.aspx and create new users in the system using the CreateUserWizard control.
How administrator can assign users to one or more roles.
How users can login to the web site.
How to develop Default.aspx that shows content for different roles.

It is hoped that all residents of Seminole Forest will become members of our Neighborhood Association as it is through the Neighborhood Association that members and residents work together on issues which concern the neighborhood.


Your server just crashed. Are you sure your latest backup is recent and has everything you need ?
Most companies don't think about backup or disaster recovery until after there is a problem. Typically by that time, it is too late.
Don't get caught without having recovery plans in place, tested and verified.
In case of a serious problem, it could mean the difference between a few hours of recovery and you're out of business.
Would you be out of business if your facility was either burned to the ground by a fire or blown away by a hurricane ?
If you answered 'Yes', then you need to have a disaster recovery plan made for your business.
Everyday backups in most cases or weekly backups in some cases can be set up so that you don't have to think about it. Depending on the volume of the data you need archived, it can either be saved to the internet, to a CD, DVD or terabyte tapes and brought off-site to secure your data.
Let us help you implement a strategy now - before disaster strikes.
