Jackie Royster's Traces of a Stream: Literacy and Social Change Among African American Women
Education Opinion
By Jim Randels — January 28, 2008 3 min read
Jim Randels
We were glad to hear from our good friend Jackie Royster today, in her comment on the "Finding Home at School" entry. Jackie and her colleagues at the Bread Loaf Graduate School of English have been great allies in our work.
Jackie's writings have also made an important contribution to our understanding of the theory and history of writing from critical and historical perspectives.
Three years ago, our Advanced Placement English class at Douglass High School was offered in collaboration with an upper level English class at Tulane University. The students in Professor Rebecca Mark's class traveled downtown to our classroom, where we co-taught every Monday afternoon a three-hour seminar on Violence and Lynching in Southern Literature to 15 Tulane students and 12 Douglass students.
One of the books that we studied was Ida B. Wells' Mob Rule in New Orleans, edited by Jackie.
And for the last seven years we have studied closely Jackie's groundbreaking book, Traces of a Stream: Literacy and Social Change Among African American Women. We recommend this book for all writing, social studies, and social justice teachers. This spring, some of our female students are working with long-time SAC collaborator Artspot Productions on an original theater piece that will combine student narratives and their study of Traces of a Stream and Toni Morrison's Beloved.
So in appreciation for Jackie, we are sharing on today's blog an essay that Maria Hernandez, who was in the fall 2004 AP English class at Douglass, a writing developed from her reading of Traces of a Stream and included in The Long Ride, the book we are featuring this week on the blog.
The Courage of a Woman:
Maria Stewart (1803-1879)
After her good friend David Walker was killed for circulating a pamphlet condemning slave owners for their evil and hypocrisy, Maria Stewart started an odyssey writing and speaking about the same things. From 1831 to 1834, her essays were published in The Liberator, an abolitionist newspaper as well as in her own books. But by 1834, the men in power decided that writing and speaking were not proper roles for women in society. She worked the rest of her life as a school teacher, so we know she was still reaching many people.
Also what she said and wrote has reached a few of our most important African American women and even me in 2004.
I admire that she pushed to have her say and refused to bite her lip while her people were still scared of hearing the whip. Imagine having your best friend killed for writing against white power and then turning around and walking into the fire yourself. Even though she wrote her essays in a humble tone, she had a strong will to be heard; and that is why her words never came out a mumble. She shared stories of other women who spoke out before her.
In her essay, "Mrs. Stewart's Farewell Address" she showed people that women have always stood and said something when it is in dire need of being said. She also said that she was an instrument of God. I guess you can say she had a higher purpose. Maria Stewart saw an opportunity and used it well—by what many of us can tell a great element. That's what she was. Because of her we have Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Charlotte Forten, and many, many more. Reading about her has even made me begin thinking about writing not just about my life and family but also about injustice in society. Today things are very different from the way they were before, and I'd like to think she had something to do with it.
There is no way I can repay you for your deed. All I can say is, "Thank you, Mrs. Stewart, and may you rest in peace."

Q: Overloading less than operater with different types I'm trying to overload the less than operator in order to use vector::lower_bound to find the closest/nearest number in a vector of type ClassA to a given double.
I can get it to work if i give it 2 instances of ClassA to compare but can't with different types.
I have the following code
double ClassB::findNearest()
{
     std::vector<ClassA> vec;
     std::vector<ClassA>::iterator low;
     low = std::lower_bound(vec.begin(),vec.end(), 20.0);

     if (low == vec.end())
     {
          return -1;
     }
     return *low;
}

-----------------------------------------------------
class ClassA
{
public:
   ClassA(void);
   virtual ~ClassA(void);

   double one;
   double two;

    inline friend bool operator< ( const ClassA &cC1, const double &cC2)
    {
         return cC1.one < cC2 ;
    };
};

i get the error:
binary '<' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type 'const double' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
... and i don't know why when i've overloaded the operator from right to left. Why do i need to go the other way?
Many Thanks
Alex

A: std::lower_bound is looking for: bool operator< (const double& cC1, const ClassA& cC2)
You should simply define that in your ClassA and you'll be golden:
bool operator< (const double& cC1, const ClassA& cC2)
{
    return cC1 < cC2.one;
}

EDIT: leemes is right this needs to be defined outside your Class A so it accessable to std::lower_bound.

A: A simple fix is to provide a non-member function (perhaps a friend if you were to make the data fields private):
class ClassA
{
public:
    //as before...

    inline friend bool operator< ( const double &cC1, const ClassA &cC2)
    {
         return cC1 < cC2.one ;
    };
};

This feels a bit messy.
If we'd asked std::lower_bound to find the lower bound of a ClassA we wouldn't have needed to concentrate on which way round to do this.
We could allow implicit conversion by having a constructor take a double
CLassA(double x): one(x), two(0.0) {}

Scott Meyers talks about this at length (e.g. Item 24 Effective C++). This can end up with temporaries when we don't want it, but does allow a symmetry with non-member operators.
Alternatively, have a comparison function for ClassA with its own type, and make a suitable ClassA for lower_boud, e.g. ClassA(20.0, 0.0).

A: Somehow I have the feeling your code might be incomplete. Your Function
double ClassB::findNearest()

returns double but works on std::vector<ClassA>; When it dereferences the iterator I get an error in my GCC 4.8.3 since it fails to transform ClassA to double. If however I add a cast operator to ClassA like:
operator double () {
    return one;
}

The std::lower_bound(vec.begin(),vec.end(), 20.0); works for me without any custom less operator at all, since now the compiler knows a valid way of comparing ClassA to double.

Hillsborough County Animal Services, now known as Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center (HCPRC), is the county intake for all stray and surrendered cats and dogs. While the county is working on increasing the percentages of survival and adoption rates for the animals taken in daily, it is something that must be done with the help of volunteers; those who care about the fate of all of the animals.
Friends of Hillsborough County Animal Services, Inc (FOHCAS) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit that is entirely made up of volunteer private citizens and works to help the animals that might not otherwise get a chance for survival and ultimately a happy home.
FOHCAS' first full year of operations was in 2013, and it assisted 44 animals at a cost of just under $15,000. Last year that number was tripled to over 150 animals, at a cost of approximately $48,500.This year, the goal is to aid 180 animals that could be euthanized without its help.
Medical payment assistance is the primary function of FOHCAS.
Osborne said that they also purchase enrichment items for the animals to use while still at the shelter and attend community events for outreach.
"We feel as animal advocates educating the public about animal issues like spay and neuter, heat trauma, etc is an important responsibility for us. Explaining that sterilization, adoption, animal care, and retention are ways as a community we can bring the intake rates down. When shelter intake is reduced responsibly, then the euthanasia rate will also decrease," said Osborne.
With no paid employees, 96 percent of all donations go back to programs that assist the animals at HCPRC.
The funding comes from private donors; there is no county assistance. FOHCAS is actively looking for business/corporate sponsors as well as individuals in the community who would be interested in financially contributing to help the shelter animals.
Inquiries can be made about its sponsorship program by e-mailing info@friendsofhcas.org.

Chris Perez said he only went to the set of the 1997 film about Selena, who he was married to at the time of her death, once.

Chris Perez said he only visited the set of the 1997 "Selena" film once.
On Monday, Perez, who was married to the music icon at the time of her death and a former Los Dinos guitarist, shared a memory of the movie's filming with his social media fans.
RELATED: Chris Perez speaks out about Netflix's new Selena series
"Wow, this was the ONLY time I actually went on the set of the Selena movie to check it out...and they got me to do this, lol! Good times at 26 years old with my boy @jonseda," he posted on Facebook.
Perez was brought in to perform a few guitar riffs for the movie. A shot of his hands playing the guitar was then substituted in for Seda's in the scene where Selena's father Abraham Quintanilla, played by Edward James Olmos, meets the rocker who would eventually become his son-in-law.
Seda said in the clip that he did his best to emulate Perez's mannerisms.
"To me, that was important because I want him to be proud and feel he was portrayed and represented," the actor said.
Perez said he had never watched the movie starring Jennifer Lopez as his wife until February 2017 when the film popped up on Lifetime and decided to live blog his reactions, offering anecdotes about Selena and their relationship.
"Room trashing happened....Oh God. Not one of my prouder moments," he said of the scene when Selena and her family catch Perez and his friends partying in a hotel room. "But I paid THOUSANDS in damages. Lesson Learned. She...was...PISSED."
Perez also recently revealed that he was out of the loop on the production of the new Netflix series about Selena's life and rise to fame.
Fans thanked Perez for sharing the behind-the-scenes video from the 1990s.
"It's really great how you share so much with your fans," one person responded.

Twitter at 10: the good, the bad and the 'where does it go from here?'
By Carrie Marshall
10 years of Twitter
Ten years ago today, Twttr was born. It's gained two vowels and an awful lot of users since then, but its mission is the same as it was ten years ago: to share SMS-sized messages among groups.
Those groups are global now, and Twitter serves 320 million monthly active users including us and, most likely, you.
We love Twitter, but we're scared of it too. It makes us laugh like drains, but its users often act in ways that chill the blood.
After 10 years of tweets, it's becoming clear that Twitter brings out the very best of people as well as the very worst. Here are the good, the bad and the rather more disturbing things about Twitter.
Everybody's equal
Of all the great things about Twitter, this is the secret of its success: it's a level playing field. Protected accounts aside, anybody can follow, read tweets by and send tweets to anybody. Artists chat with their fans. Journalists get pulled up by the people they write about. Experts share their findings. News comes straight from the horse's mouth without spin or selective quoting.
Provided you don't follow a bunch of fools, Twitter is like the best pub conversation or dinner party in human history. As the cliché goes, Facebook is where you connect with people you know and don't want to talk to. Twitter is where you connect with people you don't know but wish you did.
It's all killer, no filler
Twitter's 140-character limit is widely broken through URL shorteners, multi-part tweets and image attachments, but it's still the unique selling point of the service. Unlike other services that try to be everything, Twitter is all about keeping things short and sharp.
If it allowed status updates as verbose as Facebook ones, there'd be too much content for anybody to keep up with. Keeping things short means we can keep up with the firehose of Tweets, and it means we can get involved in the conversations even when we're doing something else.
It's like news, but better
For good and bad, news breaks on Twitter now. Not just the "attention seeker does attention seeking thing on Twitter" news, but the real news too. From terrorist attacks to rappers' beefs, celebrity deaths to Bank of England monetary policy, there's a very good chance that the news you're interested in will come to you on Twitter long before it makes the pages of your favourite news source.
And Twitter is home to the fast fact-check too, so while hoaxes and rumours spread like any other social network the bad information is usually debunked very quickly.
It's fantastically funny
Nothing on the internet makes us laugh as consistently and as helplessly as Twitter does. The level of comedy does depend on who you follow, but Twitter's brevity means it's a perfect venue for sarcy comments, memes, one-liner jokes, funny things people have spotted in shops, GIFs of people falling over, stupid things Tweeted at celebrities and demented police dramas such as Crimer Show.
There's something about Twitter that brings out everybody's inner comedian, and that means it's a seam of comedy gold.
It isn't Facebook… yet
On Twitter you don't have to wade through other people's baby photos, or invitations to play Clash of Clans, or hoaxes that were debunked ten years ago, or political or religious viewpoints that drive you crazy. And with third-party tools that enable you to block and mute specific keywords, you can even filter the content you see - which is handy if you follow people for artistic or work reasons and not their blow-by-blow commentaries on obscure sporting events.

I love it when innovation is applied to commonplace make up products – it's all too easy to not consider the design of make up items that have been around for years and sometimes just a little tweak in design can make application a whole lot easier, and have us all wondering why someone didn't think of it sooner.
So I was most intrigued when Wizard PR uploaded a teaser image to its Facebook page this week, showing The Curve: "an ergonomic shaped liquid liner that makes application mistake-proof." I've never really questioned whether the usual pen shape of eyeliner makes application difficult, so it will be interesting to see if the rounded shape of The Curve liquid eyeliner will make a marked difference when applying eye liner.
Wizard PR is keeping its cards close to its chest as to which brand is launching The Curve eyeliner, so keep your eyes peeled!

Q: .htaccess multi rule rewriting Basically, I want to have the path:
store.com/[category_name]/[subcategory_name]
so -> store.com/computer/hard-drive
This one is works:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ products.php?category=$1&subcategory=$2 [L]

And then I need each product details, lets say "wd1tera" to have path: store.com/computer/wd1tera
Real path is: product.php?id=[number]
This website will have absolute category and subcategory, and always have product path under category, even it's part of subcategory. But of course we will have several category names, not just "computer".
Can somebody help me?

A: If the product ID is alphanumeric then there's no way of distinguishing between those two rules, so you'd need an identifier of some kind.
I would suggest the following URLs as they add more descriptive as to what each page means:
http://www.domain.com/category/{CAT}/{SUB}
http://www.domain.com/view/{CAT}/{ID}

If however the product ID was numeric only, then you could do:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)$ product.php?id=$2
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ products.php?category=$1&subcategory=$2

MR GRUTS My Two Dads, 2021
There is a shift taking place in how we perceive our interpersonal relationships and how feelings of affection, love and power factor into them. It's been over 50 years since the "Summer of Love" where authoritarianism was challenged and culminated in an anti-establishment festival. This popularised the values of "free love" which went on to define the hippie generation. Since then many have been able to openly question their interpersonal values and how they're able to realise them under societal pressures. But even though it's been such a long time from this collective realisation, we're still painfully beholden to public perception. With the advent of social media, instead of liberating us, it's involvement in our lives has had a major effect on us. It has become a type of social-image PR where participants show their "best side" and has gone on to reinforce the values we sought to escape during the 60s. People cannot express their own subversiveness when a potential employer, extended family or government official could be observing. And when we express this subversiveness under the guise of anonymity, we lose our individual identities. In participating in this collective adherence, the status quo is unconsciously reinforced.
Herakles & Satyrs, 2020
My work is structured around the fantasy that men are able to enjoy each other sexually without stigma, shame or suffering under the trappings of society. The freedom they feel within themselves is reflected in the world around them. They may be perceived to be physically flawed but are unashamed in their arousal and have ultra-expressive faces that accentuate their feelings.
The scenes themselves often feature thickly proportioned men in working class professions or activities. The eroticism I seek to communicate is rooted in the character & expression of the participants. Several works feature common vernacular to accentuate their identity. I want the personality to be apparent and relatable to the viewer, rather than a detached case study. The body type and particular aesthetic come secondary to this main idea. While I am representing a fantasy in these works, much of the eroticism comes from the accessibility of the viewer being able to see themselves in the work. They're not rendered in a superhero idealization with rippling muscles. These works are often part of a series of images where characters become increasingly aroused as the scene develops.
"Dripping Punk", 2021
"Satyr and Herm", 2020
I'm writing this Artist Statement from New Zealand. While we're a country that's been very progressive in terms of LGBTQIA+ recognition, we have a limited scope of what's expressed in terms of eroticism & sexuality. While masturbation is now being popularly recognised as a social good, erotic art & pornography is still mostly vilified. Many articles have been published over the years about porn addiction. The problematic issues surrounding high-production studio pornography is presented as being endemic with the medium itself. These articles themselves are often surrounded by adverts using women's bodies in a languid rake-thin idealism so pervasive in modern culture. It often feels like eroticism is only permissible when it is sold back to us in a soft-core characterless product-placement form. Our individual sexuality is only palatable when using a partner as a vessel or staring into nothingness with our own self satisfaction.

My hope is that from observing my work, people free themselves from the body-shame, sex-negative polyphony our world continues to mire us in. I hope they see that these bodies are attractive in harmony with their perceived "flaws" rather than in spite of them.

Q: Using a variable inside the Math.random function I am working on a piece of code which make an array full of numbers with the amount of numbers i want, but instead of this beeing static with 16 numbers i tried to change 16 to a variable but the math.floor/randome cant read it it only spits out Not a number wierdly enough.
EDIT: with 16 put in it works, but i cant use a variable (declared in the same function ofc)after i console.log the variable it shows it as a number but then my browser freezes
Is There anyone who knows how to change this
while(arr.length < pictures.length) {
    var randomenumber = Math.floor((Math.random()* 16));
    if(arr.indexOf(randomenumber) > -1) {
        continue;
    }
    arr[arr.length] = randomenumber;
}

//cheat sheet
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length ; i++) {
    document.write(arr[i]);
    document.write("
");
}

A: You will need to parse it in integer using parseInt.
var num = 16;
var randomenumber = Math.floor((Math.random() * parseInt(num)));

A: I don't see any issues if you use var length = 16 and Math.floor((Math.random() * length)).
Working snippet:

var arr = [], length = 16;

while(arr.length < length) {
    var randomenumber = Math.floor((Math.random() * length));
    if(arr.indexOf(randomenumber) > -1) {
        continue;
    }
    arr[arr.length] = randomenumber;
}

//cheat sheet
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length ; i++) {
    document.write(arr[i]);
    document.write("
");
}

What I like about Paymentwall is that as much as they're about helping businesses monetize and accept payments, they're still strongly focused on consumers. They want to ensure that the only thing painful about paying for something online is the hit to your bank account. This is really hard to do because fraud is such a big problem in the payments space. If you're too customer friendly, you end up losing money pretty quickly. I don't recall having paid for anything using Paymentwall, so I can't tell you if they live up to their talk, but their home page shows a livestream of transactions happening all over the world (no identifying details included, of course). The payments industry is fascinating, and it's would be a great place to start your career. If you're interested, visit Paymentwall's Careers page. Right now they're looking for an Ad Management Associate and a B2B Business Development Associate in their San Francisco office. There are also quite a few opportunities in their other offices.

The Niles Canyon ghost is an urban legend within the vanishing hitchhiker archetype, about the ghost of a girl who had died in a car accident. The accident is said to have taken place on February 28, with the year varying, and the ghost is said to walk the road on that day every year, looking to hitch a ride to San Francisco.

One variation of the story has the hiker's backstory being that she died in a car crash on Niles Canyon road (off the 680 freeway in Sunol, California) on the way back from a dance. Some say that she can be seen at midnight waiting at the corner she died at. People traveling along the road (mostly those traveling alone) have said to have stopped and offered the girl a ride. She accepts the ride, giving the driver an address across the bridge (either Dumbarton or Bay Bridge depending on the storyteller). Once the driver gets to the beginning of the bridge, the girl will disappear. In stories told of the ghost, a driver who visits the girl's address is told by the girl's mother that she died many years previously.

Another version of the story has the ghost described as a White Lady killed in a carriage accident a hundred years previously.

NORTH KITSAP: Entities seek to improve beach access
— Apr 24th, 1998
By Ray Miller
Kitsap County is working with the state's Department of Fish and Wildlife to make a major land acquisition in the Point No Point area to provide county residents greater beach access.
At a community meeting at the Hansville Community Center on Wednesday night, Rick Fackler, who heads up the county's open space program, told the more than 60 people in attendance two grants will be submitted to the state within the next two weeks. They would allow the purchase of up to 47 acres of land, including prime beach access.
The grants would come from the state's Interagency Fund for Outdoor Recreation, and the applications will have to compete with project proposals throughout the state.
Fackler said Fish and Wildlife will seek a grant to purchase 30 to 40 acres of land between the Point No Point Lighthouse on the north, and 27 acres of land already owned by the county on the south. The acquisition would include prime waterfront.
In addition, he said, the county will seek state funds to buy about seven acres of land in the Captain's Landing area in the heart of Hansville.
"Kitsap County is said to have more miles of shoreline than any county in the state," he said, "but less than 1 percent of it is accessible to the public."
The community meeting was sponsored by the Point No Point Lighthouse Preservation Society and chaired by its president, Mike Rogers. The society is working with the county, representatives of the Greater Hansville community, Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, state Fish and Wildlife, and sports fishermen to develop a proposal to lease the historic lighthouse from the Coast Guard.
Fackler said the lease proposal will be submitted to the Coast Guard within two months. It will be brought to the community for review and comment beforehand.
Area residents have for some time expressed concern about speeding along roads leading to the lighthouse, trespassing on private property by visitors, littering, and other ills associated with public use of the lighthouse property.
The county has installed speed bumps on Point No Point Road to slow down traffic driving back and forth to the lighthouse.
Karen Lloyd, a local resident who heads the society's safety committee, reported the bumps have been very effective, and said that at least two more will be installed. She also announced a neighborhood watch program has been formed, involving more than 60 area residents.
Fackler said only very limited parking will be offered at the lighthouse to control traffic congestion. Parking will instead be offered at other sites.
Dave Dixon of the county's storm water management division said the county has prepared a number of steps to help control flooding from surface water in the Point No Point area, including improving inter-basin ties and rebuilding and improving outfalls and tidal gates.
, rebuilding and improving outfalls and tidal gates, and more intensive monitoring and maintenance of the area by public works personnel.

What are the strangest things about Colorado? Viewers weigh in
by: Samantha Jarpe
DENVER (KDVR) — Whether you're new to Colorado or have lived in the state for your entire life, there are many strange things about the state that you may have noticed.
FOX31 asked viewers what they thought were the strangest things about Colorado.
While many of the answers were Denver-based, there were many that were not.
The 'born-and-raised' versus 'transplants' debate
The largest number of comments had to do with the debate between people born in Colorado and people who were not.
A few viewers said they thought it was strange how many out-of-state people, or "transplants," were attracted to the state, specifically those who came from California.
Colorado's flow of transplants slowed to a trickle in 2022
"California people are the strangest things here," one viewer said.
Others said they found it strange how people who were born here refer to themselves.
"[A strange thing is] the obsessive need for people born in Colorado to call themselves 'natives,'" a viewer said. "I've lived in several states in this country and never encountered this bizarre thing."
The geography of the state
Colorado is very diverse geographically, from the southern Rocky Mountains in the west to the Great Plains in the east.
"John Denver made me think it would be all surrounded by mountains," a viewer said.
Another viewer brought up the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, a national park in the southern part of the state. The park has the tallest dunes in North America.
6 winter hikes to take this weekend in Colorado
The beauty of the state, however, was not in question by viewers.
"It is far more beautiful than words or pictures can capture," one viewer said. "I never want to leave this paradise."
Colorado weather
Another thing viewers brought up was the diverse weather Colorado sees and how fast it can change.
"That weather is extremely unpredictable because of the high mountains and their effect," a viewer said.
A few viewers brought up specific weather events Colorado sees that they thought were strange, such as thundersnow (when a thunderstorm produces snow instead of rain).
What is the solar shovel, and how does it work with subzero temps?
As for winter weather in Colorado, one viewer said they love how the sun melts the snow that falls:
"The snow actually melts and doesn't stick around for six months straight," they said. "Strange, but I love it!"
Wearing summer clothes in winter
On the topic of colder weather, some viewers thought it was strange that some Coloradans are able to wear summer clothes in the cold.
"No matter how cold it is outside, you can always find at least three people wearing shorts inside King Soopers," a viewer commented.
"Flip flops in winter," another viewer said.
But one commenter said that wasn't strange to them:
"It's what we grew up with, wearing shorts, a hoodie and flip-flops in the winter," they said. "If there's a lot of snow on the ground, we throw on shoes. Once it hits 30+ degrees we're comfortable."
Love for the Denver Broncos
Some viewers talked about the love Coloradans have for the Denver Broncos, for better or for worse.
"The love for the Broncos, even if they can't win a game," a viewer said.
"Yep, I'm falling into this category," another viewer added.
Well done, Broncos fans! Here's where you rank among the NFL's rudest fan bases
The team has won three Super Bowl championships (1997, 1998 and 2015), but went 5-12 in the 2022 season. The team has also not had a winning record since the 2016 season.
Love of green chile
A few viewers said Coloradans' love, or "obsession" as one viewer put it, with green chile was strange to them.
"But.. it's delicious," a viewer said.
While the most-known type of green chile is grown in Hatch, New Mexico, southern Colorado has Pueblo chiles that grow there.

Chris Evans Is Bringing Hot Dad Energy To Apple TV+'s 'Defending Jacob' Trailer
by Kelly Schremph
The world may seem like a lonely and scary place to be right now, but thanks to Chris Evans' new Defending Jacob trailer, we can take comfort in his extreme hot dad energy. Captain America may be a thing of the past, but Evans and his glorious beard are still here to save us all — only this time it's in the form of an Apple TV+ crime drama. A murder mystery and Chris Evans as a hot dad — what else could one want for entertainment in the middle of a pandemic?
Defending Jacob, based on William Landay's best-selling 2012 novel of the same name, stars Evans as dedicated father and dutiful lawyer, Andy Barber, who finds himself at a crossroads when his 14-year-old son, Jacob, is arrested for murdering one of his classmates. Convinced of their son's innocence, Andy and his wife, Laurie — played by Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery — set out to clear their son.
But the closer they get to finding out the truth about what really happened, the more complicated things become. In fact, it could very well push Andy to his limits and force him to realize that he'll stop at nothing to protect his son — even if it means turning his back on the justice system he's sworn to uphold.
Along with Dockery and Evans, who is also an executive producer on the show, the eight-episode series features Cherry Jones, Pablo Schreiber, Betty Gabriel, and former CW stars Paul Wesley, Leighton Meester, and Kat Graham. And It star Jaeden Martell stars as Jacob.
On Wednesday, Evans took to Twitter to share the trailer, addressing the current coronavirus crisis. "I know it's tough not leaving the house right now, so hopefully this helps a bit," he wrote. "A lot of wonderful people worked very hard on this project and I'm proud to be a part of it."
It's not easy to incorporate a heartfelt message while promoting a murder mystery, but if anyone could do it, it's Evans.
Defending Jacob is slated to premiere the first three episodes on Apple TV+ on Friday, April 24, with the following episodes premiering weekly on Fridays.

localeTitle: 创建一个有状态组件
---

## Description

 React最重要的主题之一是state 。 State包含应用程序需要了解的任何数据,这些数据可能会随时间而变化。您希望应用程序响应状态更改并在必要时显示更新的UI。 React为现代Web应用程序的状态管理提供了一个很好的解决方案。您可以通过在constructor声明组件类的state属性来在React组件中创建状态。这与初始化该组件state被创建时。 state属性必须设置为JavaScript object 。声明它看起来像这样:
 this.state = {
 //在这里描述你的州
您可以在组件的整个生命周期内访问state对象。您可以更新它,在UI中呈现它,并将其作为道具传递给子组件。 state对象可以像您需要的那样复杂或简单。请注意,您必须通过扩展React.Component来创建类组件,以便创建这样的state 。

## Instructions

代码编辑器中有一个组件试图从其state呈现name属性。但是,没有定义state 。初始化与组件state的constructor ,并指定你的名字的属性name 。

## Tests

```yml
tests:
  - text: <code>StatefulComponent</code>应该存在并呈现。
    testString: assert((function() { const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(StatefulComponent)); return mockedComponent.find('StatefulComponent').length === 1; })());
  - text: <code>StatefulComponent</code>应该呈现<code>div</code>和<code>h1</code>元素。
    testString: assert((function() { const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(StatefulComponent)); return mockedComponent.find('div').length === 1 && mockedComponent.find('h1').length === 1; })());
  - text: 应使用设置为字符串的属性<code>name</code>初始化<code>StatefulComponent</code> 。
    testString: assert((function() { const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(StatefulComponent)); const initialState = mockedComponent.state(); return ( typeof initialState === 'object' && typeof initialState.name === 'string'); })());
  - text: <code>StatefulComponent</code>的属性<code>name</code>应在<code>h1</code>元素中呈现。
    testString: assert((function() { const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(StatefulComponent)); const initialState = mockedComponent.state(); return mockedComponent.find('h1').text() === initialState.name; })());

```

## Challenge Seed

```jsx
class StatefulComponent extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    // initialize state here

  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>{this.state.name}</h1>
      </div>
    );
  }
};

```

### After Test

```js
console.info('after the test');
```

## Solution

```js

```


Sienese architect, painter, and stage designer, active mainly in Rome, where he settled in 1503. He worked under Bramante on St Peter s, and eventually became architect to the building after Raphael s death in 1520. Amongst High Renaissance architects he ranks almost alongside these two contemporaries, but his style was very different - sophisticated and delicate rather than monumental and grave. In spite of his genius he had little material success, according to Vasari because of his retiring nature . His greatest works - indeed the greatest secular building of the High Renaissance - is the Villa Farnesina (1508-11) in Rome. The Farnesina contains decorations by Raphael, Sebastiano del Piombo and Sodoma, as well as Peruzzi s own masterpiece in painting - the Sala delle Prospettive, a brilliant piece of feigned architectural painting that confirms early accounts of his skill in perspective and stage-design.

Alcatrazz: Dangerous Games (expanded reissue)
Losing one great guitarist is unfortunate, but losing a second? That's plain careless. Steve Vai following Yngwie Malmsteen out of the Alcatrazz exit door after just one album apiece. However as confirmed in the Malcolm Dome liner notes (which feature contributions from singer Graham Bonnet and bassist Gary Shea) for this post Malm-Vai Dangerous Games reissue, the circumstances behind the departures couldn't have been more different. While Malmsteen had let his 'guitar god' status go to his head to the extent that the band punted him, Vai went with their blessing. A big bucks offer from freshly departed ex-Van Halen singer David Lee Roth to help him form a solo band, too good for the guitarist to turn down.
With Capitol, their label of the time, breathing down their neck for a new record, ex-Alice Cooper and Rick Derringer guitarist Danny Johnson was quickly drafted into the fold. Capitol also wanted Bonnet and co. to incorporate outside songwriters for what would go on to become Dangerous Games, but the band resisted and instead agreed to include, for the first time, a couple of covers. Therefore the album opens with a good, if unspectacular, version of The Animals "It's My Life", while also seeing the band beef up (a little anyway) "Only One Woman", a UK hit Bonnet had with The Marbles many years before. In truth neither really set the heather on fire, still leaving Johnson with the pressure of providing the bulk of the material. The title track, which the guitarist wrote single handedly, is undoubtedly a highlight, while his co-writes with Bonnet and keyboard player Jimmy Waldo on "Undercover" and the moody "The Witchwood" don't let the side down. However with the band moving in a more commercial direction, the standard does slip slightly from their two previous studio albums and without either the flash of Malmsteen or innovation of Vai, Johnson's deeper, bluesier style was seen as a step back. In all honesty it's a lack of enough truly killer songs that's this album's undoing, leaving Dangerous Games to become just another decent stab at commercial rock; albeit with a well above average singer.
A few live shows were played, but with the label losing interest, Shea and Waldo were, in a twist of fate, wooed away by Eddie Van Halen's proposed female fronted outfit that never actually took off. Bonnet, Johnson and drummer Jan Uvena did bring in some new talent and record demos, but the bubble was burst and the band's third guitarist soon legged it to Private Life, leaving the end in sight for Alcatrazz, who promptly folded.
Alongside the excellent liner notes, as with the previous era Alcatrazz reissues, live in concert bonus recordings are included. Although this time in the form of an audio only 'audience recording' (read, bootleg) from Long Island in November 1986. In truth it's not even great by bootleg standard and with Bonnet announcing, because of their late arrival (he says they got lost...), the show only runs for eight songs and two of them are the Rainbow standards, "Since You've Been Gone" and "All Night Long". Add in that it's all squeezed onto the same disc as the main event and nice though this show is to have, it adds little value.
Better than many would have you believe, Dangerous Games is a good melodic hard rock album and does stand the test of time reasonably well. However if you've never heard Alcatrazz before, then start with the also recently reissued Vai infused Disturbing The Peace or the more Rainbow-esque Malmsteen led No Parole From Rock n Roll to really hear what all the fuss was about. By comparison, Dangerous Games is actually a pretty tame pastime.

In re Baby K
Brief Fact Summary. The Hospital (Plaintiff) sought a declaratory judgment that it was not required to provide treatment beyond warmth, nutrition, and hydration to Baby "K" (Defendant), an anencephalic infant.
Synopsis of Rule of Law. When an individual is diagnosed with an emergency medical condition, a hospital is required to provide necessary treatment to stabilize and prevent the physical deterioration of the person's condition or provide for an appropriate transfer to another facility.
Facts. Baby "K" (Defendant) was born with anencephaly, as she was missing a major portion of her brain. Most infants born with anencephaly die within a few days of birth because of breathing problems or other complications. Mrs. H (Defendant) rejected the Hospital's (Plaintiff) recommendation that supportive care for Baby "K" (Defendant) be restricted to warmth, nutrition, and hydration, and she insisted that her child be provided with mechanical breathing assistance when needed. The Plaintiff tried to transfer the infant, but no other hospital in the area would take her. After Baby "K" (Defendant) was transferred to a nursing home and readmitted to the Hospital (Plaintiff) a number of times with breathing difficulties, the Hospital (Plaintiff) brought this action against Ms. H (Defendant), Baby "K" (Defendant), and Mr. K (Defendant), seeking a declaratory judgment that the Hospital (Plaintiff) was only required to provide warmth, nutrition, and hydration to Baby "K" (Defendant). The Hospital's (Plaintiff) request was denied by the district court who concluded that the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) presented a duty to provide respiratory support to Baby "K" (Defendant). The Hospital (Plaintiff) appealed.
Issue. When an individual is diagnosed with an emergency medical condition, is a hospital required to provide necessary treatment to stabilize and prevent the physical deterioration of the person's condition or provide for an appropriate transfer to another facility?
Held. (Wilkins, J.) Yes. When an individual is diagnosed with an emergency medical condition, a hospital is required to provide necessary treatment to stabilize and prevent the physical deterioration of the person's condition or provide for an appropriate transfer to another facility. The Hospital (Plaintiff) admits that when Baby "K" (Defendant) is presented in respiratory distress, a failure to provide immediate medical attention would reasonably be expected to cause serious impairment of her bodily functions. Therefore, her breathing difficulty qualifies as an emergency medical condition, triggering the Hospital's (Plaintiff) duty to provide her with stabilizing treatment or to transfer her to another facility. Because transfer is not an option available to the Hospital (Plaintiff) at this time, it must stabilize the condition of Baby "K" (Defendant). Affirmed.
Discussion. The majority applied the rule found in the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). Congress enacted EMTALA in order to respond to concerns that hospitals were "dumping" patients who were not able to pay by either refusing to provide emergency medical treatment or transferring patients before stabilizing their emergency conditions. In this decision, the court recognized physicians faced a dilemma when requested to provide treatment they considered morally and ethically inappropriate, but the court could not go beyond its judicial function by ignoring the plain language in the statute. Congress must redress policy concerns of the Hospital (Plaintiff), not the courts.

Dispute over proposed lambing nursery heats up

Photo by Tim Kalinowski- Cypress County reeve Darcy Geigle defends council's decision to allow for a relaxation of the Confined Feeding Exclusion Area, and its decision to write a letter of support for a proposed lambing operation. Coun. Richard Oster watches on.
Cypress County councillors received a delegation last Tuesday representing local ratepayers irate with council's decision to send a letter of support for a proposed 12,000 animal lambing nursery at the Dec. 6 council meeting.
The delegation, made up of Randall Schmidt, Ross Brigden and Lyle Dragland, brought concerns forward on behalf of about three dozen individuals living within 1.5 miles of the proposed nursery who have already written to the NRCB (Natural Resources Conservation Board) urging the rejection of the developer, Norman Weaver's, application.
Schmidt took direct aim at councillors whom he said had gone against their own citizens by agreeing to write the letter on behalf of the developer, who is not currently a citizen of Cypress County.
"Our concerns are storm water run-off, manure contamination, noise, pests, predators, land values and road deterioration," explained Schmidt. "If this council would like to see any of our concerns we have submitted to the NRCB, we would be happy to discuss them with all of you at any time. As a delegation of some 30 ranch, farm and acreage owners, we do not think our group of ratepayers is at all a small opposition… Nobody asked any of our community how we felt about this proposal."
Schmidt continued with a scathing indictment of council's decision to write a letter of support for such a development despite it being within a Confined Feeding Exclusion Area.
"One of our main points of stopping this endeavour was our Confined Feeding Exclusion Area," said Schmidt, "that we as ratepayers and this development are located all inside of. We were confident that this 1992 rural/ urban fringe plan, as your Cypress County bylaw, would be our legs to stand on to fight this feeding development to the NRCB. On December 6, council basically cut our legs off, and now we have nothing to stand on."
Schmidt further challenged council's and Reeve Darcy Geigle's decision to allow Norman Weaver to speak to council during its regular meeting on Dec. 6 without giving prior notice of a public hearing to local ratepayers.
When Mr. Schmidt had concluded his remarks, Reeve Geigle responded on behalf of council.
"Mr. Weaver was in attendance. As the reeve, I can let anyone answer technical questions, which he did. It wasn't biased one way or the other. What we asked him was what was going on in the technical aspect of it. So there was no public hearing or anything. But, as you are all aware, that is why you are here today; so we can hear your side of it."
"As for the Exclusion Area, any bylaw or policy is always at council's discretion," continued Geigle. "So as it turned out, the vote was 6-3 to relax it."
"If you are just going to change the bylaw," asked Ross Brigden, "there is no use in making them, is there? When I look at Confined Feeding Exclusion Area, and I see this is within it, so I am not worried about it… Why would you go against your own rules?"
"We change bylaws and policies constantly," replied Geigle. "That one was from 1992. So when we went over (this case), a relaxation was given. And that's all I can say."
"So you are not concerned about all the acreages and everything around that area? Because that is probably why you had that to start with," asked Brigden.
Geigle reminded Mr. Brigden the vote had been 6-3, and not recorded, so there was no way he could interpret the thoughts or concerns of individual councillors, or point out who voted for or against.
Once the delegation had departed, Geigle asked for discussion on the matter from councillors.
"The way I see it," said Coun. Garry Lentz, "the NRCB has basically turned (the application) down at this point. Mr. Weaver can appeal it. And if he does, it looks like these (delegates) will have their presentation ready. They did a good dress rehearsal today, and it looks like they have a pretty good handle on their side of the story. I think it is out of our hands at this point. I really don't see the need to take any further action here on behalf of council."
"If the guys who make the bylaws support (the application), and relax the bylaws, that means they (the NRCB) can also," replied Geigle.
"What I am struggling with is when we had Mr. Weaver give us the technical answers, we didn't have the other people here to offer a rebuttal," said Coun. Richard Oster, offering his own mea culpa. "I also did not realize how far into the Exclusion Area it is, (right up against the IDP boundary in the path of the future expansion of Medicine Hat), and I am having some serious second thoughts about that."
Coun. Ernest Mudie pointed out, in response to Oster's concerns, when considering the case no disfavourable comments had been received from either the City or the Town of Redcliff on the potential placement of the lambing nursery, rendering those concerns moot. He felt it was important for council to stand by its guns and live with the decision it made on Dec. 6.
"I think we made our comments, and we made a decision. If we were to send the NRCB another set of comments saying no, we have about as much credibility as nothing. We can just send any future comments yes/no and call it quits."
Planning Supervisor Jeffrey Dowling also reminded councillors, further to Mudie's point, the final decision on the matter does properly rest with the NRCB, not the county. Any public hearing on the matter would be the NRCB's to call. Any final decision, the NRCB's to make.
Coun. Dan Hamilton moved to receive the delegation's presentation for information, (take no further action), saying he was satisfied a higher power than the county would resolve the case. Reeve Geigle called for a recorded vote.
The final vote was 6-2 in favour of Hamilton's motion.
Couns. Hamilton, Lentz, Belyea, Squire, Pahl and Mudie voted to receive for information. Reeve Geigle and Coun. Oster voted against. Coun. Dustin Vossler was absent last Tuesday.

"It's a night i will never forget. Every time i smell wood smoke for the rest of my life, I will remember the trees, the Milkyway, the moon, the cold, and the warmth of the coals on my feet as i became something else, someone else, someone braver, and someone who will unapologetically be me-a firewalker!" - Jolene R.
"I walked through the center of the fire because i was walking towards forgiveness, first for myself. Each day that passes, i continue on my journey of forgiveness, and my entire being feels lighter.
The firewalk was very healing, and transformational for me. I will always be grateful for this experience." - Cindy G.
"I cleared my mind of the fire, looked pasted it to the darkness that was open with possibility and i walked! When i got to the other side i squealed with delight. I felt so strong, brave, again i don't know how. I was so amazing. It was transformative to see how this plie of hot, burning, flaming coals change from such a fear source to a non fear issue.
What i took away from this expereince to use in my life is to not ask 'how is that possible? but instead say 'yes it CAN be done" - D.M.

September is Sports Eye Safety awareness month and we encourage anyone who participates in sports – children and adults alike – to remember to protect their eyes. Sports are the leading cause of eye injuries in children under the age of 16. Many people are unaware of how serious sports injuries are, and that these kind of injuries could lead to irreversible eye damage. Most sports-related eye injuries can be easily avoided by simply wearing proper eye protection.
For all age groups, eye injuries occur most frequently during such sports as basketball, baseball, racquet sports, soccer and field hockey. Protective eyewear with polycarbonate lenses that have been tested to meet safety standards should be worn during such athletic activities. Protective eyewear can help prevent injuries such as fracture of the eye socket, scratched corneas, swollen retinas, and even cataracts caused by trauma to the eye.
Keep your eyes protected while playing your favorite sports by following these simple rules.
1. Choose sports eyewear that has padding around the eyes, brow and bridge of the nose to help prevent any skin cuts.
2. Never play sports with your regular prescription glasses. Eyeglasses tend to be very fragile and can shatter on impact, which could send shards of glass into your eyes.
3. Make sure you see your eye doctor to consider the different types and options of sports eyewear that can work best for you.
4. If you have reduced vision in one eye, consider the risks associated with injuring your stronger eye before participating in any high risk sports.
Sports-related eye injuries can lead to long-term problems with your vision. That's why it is always a good idea to take the proper safety precautions when playing your favorite sports. Your eyes are one of the most important organs and by taking care of them on the playing field you can protect your eyesight for many years to come.


The Department of Agriculture refused yesterday to allow a Kansas beef producer to test all of its cattle for mad cow disease, saying such sweeping tests were not scientifically warranted.
The producer, Creekstone Farms Premium Beef, wanted to use recently approved rapid tests so it could resume selling its fat-marbled black Angus beef to Japan, which banned American beef after a cow slaughtered in Washington State last December tested positive for mad cow. The company has complained that the ban is costing it $40,000 a day and forced it to lay off 50 employees.
The department's undersecretary for marketing and regulation, Bill Hawks, said in a statement yesterday that the rapid tests, which are used in Japan and Europe, were licensed for surveillance of animal health, while Creekstone's use would have "implied a consumer safety aspect that is not scientifically warranted."
Lobbying groups for cattle ranchers and slaughterhouses applauded the decision, but consumer advocates denounced it, saying the department was preventing Creekstone from taking extra steps to prove its product was safe.
Under the Virus Serum Toxin Act of 1913, the department decides where cattle can be tested and for what.
Consumer groups accused the department of bending to the will of the beef lobby, saying producers do not want the expense of proving that all cattle are safe or the damage to meat sales that would result if more cases of mad cow are found.
Creekstone said it was extremely disappointed and frustrated that the department had taken six weeks to decide and added that it might go to court to fight the decision.
Since December, Japan has demanded that producers who want to export there test each animal, as Japanese ranchers do. The American beef industry and the Bush administration have resisted, and negotiations have become increasingly tense.
Consumer groups were critical of the department's decision.
"It is ironic in the extreme that an administration that's so interested in letting industry come up with its own solutions would come down with a heavy government hand on a company that's being creative," said Dr. Peter Lurie, deputy director of the health research group at Public Citizen, a frequent food industry critic.
Dr. Lurie said, however, the Japanese demand for 100 percent testing was irrational because it included animals younger than 20 months. "But there is no shortage of irrational consumer demands - like cosmetic surgery or S.U.V's - that industry is only too happy to cater to," he said. "That's what capitalism does."
Andrew Kimbrell, director of the Center for Food Safety, another group often critical of the industry, said: "We're the ones who've been irrational on mad cow because of the foot-dragging and refusals to test, our head-in-the-sand attitude. And now that it's brought us to a crisis, American farmers have no way of protecting their market."
A spokesman for the Agriculture Department, Ed Lloyd, defended yesterday's decision, saying, "We're working very diligently to re-establish our markets."
The department recently changed its testing regimen to make a one-time effort, beginning in June, to test 201,000 cows with symptoms of nervous disease or that are too sick or injured to walk, and 20,000 healthy older ones. The regimen assumes that cattle born before 1997, when a ban was imposed on feeding bovine tissue to cattle, are most at risk.
The president of the American Meat Institute, which represents slaughterhouses, and the director of regulatory affairs at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, which represents ranchers, praised the decision.
Gary Weber of the cattlemen's association called 100 percent testing misleading to consumers because it would create a false impression that untested beef was not safe. He compared it to demanding that all cars be crash tested to prove they are safe.
Asked if American beef producers were content to give up the $1.5 billion Japanese market, Mr. Weber said: "We're not going to give in to their demands. If that means in the short-to-medium term that we don't have that market, that's the price we'll pay. But in the long run, it means there's testing that's science based and that creates a level playing field."
Asked if beef producers did not want to be pressured to imitate Creekstone and pay for more tests, Mr. Weber said it was "absolutely not about the money."

"Ectodysplasins" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus, MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure, which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
Transmembrane proteins belonging to the tumor necrosis factor superfamily that play an essential role in the normal development of several ectodermally derived organs. Several isoforms of the ectodysplasins exist due to multiple ALTERNATIVE SPLICING of the MRNA for the protein. The isoforms ectodysplasin A1 and ectodysplasin A2 are considered biologically active and each bind distinct ECTODYSPLASIN RECEPTORS. Genetic mutations that result in loss of function of ectodysplasin result in ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA 1, ANHIDROTIC.

Themba: a boy called hope
by Lutz van Dijk
Translated by Karin Chubb
Karin Chubb was Shortlisted for the Marsh Award for Children's Literature in Translation, a unique award celebrating the high quality and diversity of translated fiction for young readers, in 2013.
Made into an award-winning film.
A hard-hitting, and emotional story of AIDs in South Africa, following Themba and his dreams of becoming a famous footballer.
Themba grows up dreaming of becoming a football star. One day he leaves the village and travels with his sister to the city in search of their mother. Life is a struggle and Themba has to grow up fast. A lucky break gives him the chance to train as a footballer and play professionally – but Themba has a secret – should he tell the truth and risk everything he's ever dreamed of?
"Beautifully translated from the original … it is a book full of hope and the more young people who read books like this and who come to understand how other young children live, the more this hope will spread." Books, Teens and Magazines
"Themba reminds me of my own childhood and youth in a township close to a small village in the Transvaal in South Africa: Like him I wanted to escape poverty, like him I had the hope that our world will be a just world one day – and like him I loved my mother who was working at the time as a maid for a white family. To be very honest: in soccer Themba seems to be simply better than I was." Archbishop Desmond Tutu
"READ OF THE MONTH" Pride magazine
"…an inspirational coming of age drama about a young South African boy's escape from poverty and the pusuit of a dream." Spling onliner
"It's a rags to riches story – a story of hope, of dreaming your dreams and achieving them, and it's also a story of friendship…" The Sunday Independent
"It's a really engaging book, and because Aids is a serious issue, it made us want to carry on reading more about it." Durning Library teenage reading group
"Beautifully translated from the original and it is an easy and straightforward read. However, the storyline is tough – poverty, AIDS and death haunt the pages of the book. The reader learns about the hardship of life for many ordinary South Africans (even after Mandela came to power) and the struggle for those families who have a family member suffering from AIDS. The problems they face do not lie solely in a lack of medication and good nutrition; it also lies in the ignorance of their neighbours and friends and a refusal of many to acknowledge the illness and help the ill. However this is not a depressing book – it is a book full of hope and the more young people who read books like this and who come to understand how other young children live, the more this hope will spread." Books, Teens and Magazines
