Nearly 800 prison employees who lost or sustained severe damage to their homes in the storm have also received a total of $450,000 in assistance.
TALLAHASSEE --- After Hurricane Michael hit the Panhandle, a key portion of the state's corrections system was crippled, leaving nearly 300 prison employees displaced and more than 5,000 relocated inmates packing facilities across Florida.
New figures obtained by The News Service of Florida show a significant problem in a region where a sizable part of the workforce is employed by the corrections system and a good chunk of the state's inmate population is housed.
"In these districts, other than Leon County and Gadsden County, it is school boards first and prisons second," Sen. Bill Montford, D-Tallahassee, said about the employers that fuel the region's economy.
It has taken months to know exactly how bad the Oct. 10 storm has impacted the region's 23 prisons. But officials with the Florida Department of Corrections said this week that in addition to tens of millions of dollars in damage to facilities, the storm also displaced 284 prison employees, increased job vacancies and forced shifting 5,000 inmates to facilities across the state.
"It generally takes one to three days between the time the information is received and the time the checks are generated," said Michelle Glady, a Department of Corrections spokeswoman.
Overall, the foundation has provided $8.3 million in financial assistance to correctional staff since 1999, Glady said.
The department is also struggling to fill vacancies in the hurricane-impacted areas. Before the hurricane hit, the region's 23 prisons had a vacancy rate of 12 percent. As of Feb. 22, that vacancy rate had ticked up to 14 percent, with vacancies for prison guards and probation officers.
The probation-officer vacancies in Panama City, for example, increased from nine to 14.
"It is not the most pleasant job to have, and so we are always looking for corrections officers, but now when you have a housing challenge it makes it even more so," Montford said.
The relocation of thousands of inmates has also impacted facilities in other areas of the state, some of which are dealing with staffing shortages as the department struggles to retain and recruit guards.
"Rather than overcrowd any nearby facilities, inmates were dispersed across the state to their new permanent facilities," Glady said.
Hurricane Michael made landfall in Mexico Beach as a Category 4 storm and caused massive damage as it barreled north into Georgia. Part of that damage was in the Panama City area, but rural communities were also hard hit in places such as Gulf, Liberty, Calhoun and Jackson counties.
State lawmakers have not crafted an exact plan about how to address the storm's impact on the prison system. The hurricane also caused more than $50 million in storm damage to corrections buildings.
When asked, Montford said he does not have an answer as of yet.

Isopentenyl adenosine antibodies useful in the investigations of the "cytokinin" functions of isopentenyl adenosine were purified by affinity chromatography. Using different affinity columns, the antibodies were purified to near complete purity. Analyses of the purified proteins revealed the presence of isopentenyl adenosine binding proteins in normal rabbit serum, which presence supports a suggested role for isopentenyl adenosine and its releated compounds in animal cell division in vivo.

Morrison's $158 billion tax plan set to sail through Senate after deals with crossbenchers
Social media and branding: behind Kylie Cosmetics' success, new marketing rules and risks
in: Australia, Entertainment
Online cosmetics tutorial. TRESemmé/Vimeo
Two years ago who would have thought that Kylie Jenner, a 20-year-old American socialite, would now be heading a cosmetics company that [has achieved retail sales of US$420 million. The success of her eponymous brand – Kylie Cosmetics, launched just 18 months ago – exemplifies what can be achieved when social media, including Facebook and Twitter, are used efficiently as a marketing tool. While the brand's sudden emergence has generated much debate, marketing research in the last decade has studied the consequences of social media on traditional marketing practices and models, and how these have profoundly reshaped marketing.
Social media and the branding landscape
Establishing a brand that becomes well-known was once seen as the ultimate goal for any company looking for a significant market share. Brands provide consumers with a reassuring promise, often in terms of high quality, after-sales support or style. Brands are enduring, and consumers – at least traditionally – were introduced to brands by their relatives, social circles or TV and print advertising. The main advantage of this traditional branding approach for companies was to increase consumer loyalty and "willingness to pay" – thus adding a "brand premium". A notable example is Hèrmes, which has spent 180 years building its iconic brand, and bottom line.
Kylie Cosmetics' Twitter logo.
However, the emergence of social media has profoundly reshaped the role of brands and how they emerge and survive in an increasingly competitive marketing landscape. While social media haven't diminished the importance of brands – if anything, they're everywhere on social media – they have changed two important aspects of consumers' relationship to brands.
First, branding cycles are much faster than before. From initial discovery to being considered "has been", brands are confronted to increasingly rapid consumption cycles. Consumers' desire for brands can rise rapidly, yet vanish within a few months, making intense but brief fads more frequent than ever. Second, consumers can more easily discover new, often niche and alternative, brands. In a context of defiance towards consumerism and mass marketing, brands that look small and honest provide a reassuring feel to consumers. These smaller brands are best exemplified by their founders, which incarnate the brand and its values in a direct way.
Are the days of long-established, omnipotent brands over?
As we approach the 2020s, how has branding changed?
More than ever, brands have to be personalised and convey emotions, as consumers are looking for ones that display authenticity.
Self-branding is also becoming the norm – and the trend of successful celebrities, including Kylie Jenner, successfully launching their brands will increase. Influencers (instagramers, YouTubers…) also work to brand themselves, even as they endorse other brands, increasing cross-selling.
Consumers want brands that resonate with themselves and that capture their individuality. This desire can go so far as to incorporate brands into selfies, a trend that can help build brands but also destabilise them.
Brand loyalty remains, but is less dominant. Consumers may keep buying, but it can be more as a habit than for the brand itself.
One powerful trend is for brands to offer an ecosystem of associated products and services that become indispensable to the product itself – think Apple. Creating a powerful consumption habit and a strong ecosystem around products and services are some of the key success factors for a strong 21st-century brand.
On the other end of the spectrum comes the phenomenon of "unbranded" products. What's the pitch? Buy a brand that doesn't make you pay a premium. A classic example of premium pricing is perfume, the price of which mainly comes from marketing (packaging, promotion…). Recently, the company Brandless launched a website where everything sells for US$3. Since the early 1960s, the brand No-Ad – standing for not-advertised – has offered an inexpensive sunscreen product that's never advertised. This is not a new concept, however, and can be seen as a different take on the dollar/pound shop concept.
The future of branding for large companies
Traditional large fast-moving consumer goods companies (FMCG) have often reacted by buying emerging brands, a trend that has been described as large corporations swallowing hipster brands. This can be a risky strategy, as FMCG firms can end up paying a hefty premium for such brands, which have often not been completely stabilised. This also casts doubts on why these larger corporations were not able to come up with such brands and products themselves.
Do these changes mean that David will ultimately beat Goliath and that it's all doom and gloom for long-established brands and FMCG companies? No, especially as larger firms are become more agile, fostering in-house innovation and launching new brands. They have the ability and leverage to work with influencers, leading to co-branding that can give a more personal feel to long-established brands. FMCG companies are also starting to be more reactive and quickly launch of new products and brands, including ephemeral ones.
Of course, the power of social media still varies according to the type and maturity of industries in which companies are competing. Whatever the sector, anticipating shifts in demand is key, as shorter consumption cycles mean traditional companies need to be prepared to launch more of these short-lived brands, and drop them should they outlive their usefulness. The new reality of marketing in the era of social media is that while brands can rise faster, they can also fall faster than ever before.

'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting: Christian Bale Newest Front-Runner?
Throughout the summer many have been buzzing on who they feel would make the perfect Christian Grey character in the movie version of E.L. James' "Fifty Shades of Grey." The newest potential candidate on the internet rumor mill for the role of the billionaire and philanthropist is Christian Bale from the "Dark Knight Rises."
Bale won a Christian Grey fan poll with 33% of the vote, according to the Periscope Post. He even edged out Twilight's Robert Pattinson, who received 17% and had played the vampire role that the Grey character was apparently based off of. Other favorite Ryan Gosling had only finished 3rd in the running with 14%.
The Founder and Publisher of the site commented on the results of the respective poll.
"Handsome, young and charming Christian Bale has the ideal characteristics needed for the role of Christian Grey. Men want to be him - it is therefore no surprise he took 1/3 of the votes."
Although the 38-year-old would be a very shocking choice for the younger role, the age could always be modified for the right actor of the highly-anticipated flick. An older actress could even potentially be cast to complement the British actor for the part, according to Gather.
Bale has been known to make drastic transformations in the past and even played a character much like Christian Grey in the big screen version of another book in Bret Easton Ellis' "American Psycho." The psychological thriller had Bale donning the role of Patrick Bateman, a perfectionist Manhattan banker with hidden killer tendencies.
Up until this point, E.L. James and the producers attached to the future film version of the racy read have remained tight-lipped on the casting process. However, only time will tell who ends up with the highly-anticipated role of Grey and also who will play his love interest, Anastasia Steele.

The Alarm – Guerilla Tactics In The UK – Ticket Information
Throughout November 2008, The Alarm will undertake a UK residency tour billed as 'Guerilla Tactics In The UK'.
The Alarm will perform three separate shows in four major UK cities (Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester and London), over three weeks.
Beginning on Thursday 6th of November in Cardiff at The Point, the band will then head North on Friday 7th of November to perform at Glasgow's legendary King Tuts. The next night, Saturday 8th of November will see The Alarm in action at Manchester Academy before moving south to the capital city of London for a Tuesday 11th of November concert at Islington Carling Academy. This entire sequence will be repeated for a further two weeks with, most importantly, the band playing different sets each week. [See below for full tour details].
Ticket prices are �15 for each show. [Booking fees apply]
NB: Buy tickets for all three shows in one city and receive a special commemorative Tour Laminate Pass (plus benefit from a reduced booking fee). Here at www.thealarm.com we endeavour to keep the booking / postage fee as cheap as possible.
Mike Peters describes the event as a natural extension of the Saturday Gig campaign that has been so well received during the last few years. The tour is based on 'The Alarm Make A Stand In The USA' tour that was so successful back in late 2003.
It creates a platform for the band to play songs from all eras of The Alarm's career, from 'Unsafe Building' to 'Guerilla Tactics'.
"Playing three nights in each city allows us to show the full range of our abilities as a band and take some of the spirit of The Gathering with us out into other parts of the U.K." says Mike Peters. "It's well known that we have a huge arsenal of songs at our disposal in The Alarm and 'Guerilla Tactics In The U.K.' will allow us and the audience to embrace songs from The Alarm's back pages and get up close and personal with the energy driving The Alarm's music of today".

The Divine Tragedies Announced
by Rob Caprilozzi January 24, 2014
written by Rob Caprilozzi January 24, 2014
Writer and director Jose Prendes (The Haunting of Whaley House) announces his next film, the serial killer mind-bender: The Divine Tragedies.
Based loosely on the famous Leopold and Loeb murder case of 1924, it tells the tale of Charles Brubaker (played by Graham Denman, The Haunting of Whaley House) and his half-brother Thomas Lo Bianco (played by Jon Kondelik, Airplane Vs. Volcano), who concoct a deadly game to test their superior intelligence against the dimwitted masses. This game will eventually lead to murder, and when Genevieve, a beautiful single mother, enters their lives they finally find the perfect girl for their first kill. But, problems arise when they quickly discover that Detective Homer Gaul, a cop with a very special gift, is hot on their trail.
"It's a serial killer film, but unlike anything you've ever seen before," says director Prendes. "I know people always say that, but I really think the film will back me up. It's American Psycho meets Videodrome, by way of John Carpenter. I wanted to make something that would really surprise people. Not just in a gory way, which is easy, but in a beautiful way. The same way a David Lynch movie can be beautiful and surprising."
The film is being produced by Jon Kondelik & James Kondelik, under their production company Dual Visions. The Divine Tragedies is the company's first of many feature films to come.
"Dual Visions aims to produce feature films that engage an audience with unique experiences," say the Kondelik Brothers. "People won't be able to forget the things they've seen after watching this film."
Filming for The Divine Tragedies will begin at the end of February.

World Wine Bottles & Packaging Solutions is now offering Quality Capsules and Corks. We maintain stock of most standard colors and sizes. We Guarantee all of our Corks & Capsules.
Frosting is also an economical option and has been popular employed when decorating glass spirit bottles, which gives the glass an opaque frosted appearance and modifies the feel of the surface. The process is carried out by immersion in a bath of fluoride acid. The frosted effect can be total or partial (make a clear window like Grey Goose)by applying a mask before the acid operation.
1. Makes the appearance with a stunning smooth finish.
Glass etching comprises the techniques of creating art on the surface of glass by applying acidic, caustic, or abrasive substances. Traditionally this is done after the glass is blown or cast, although mold-etching has replaced some forms of surface etching. The removal of minute amounts of glass causes the characteristic rough surface and translucent quality of frosted glass.
Bottle screen printing is done by applying an ink via a screen, directly onto the packaging. There is no label at all.
The process happens when the printer applies a mesh pattern to the label and then pumps ink through the mesh openings to produce the label image. This is also known as silk screening. It can be a cost effective option if colors are limited and volumes are mid to long-run productions.
Bottle screen printing is a popular choice because the end result is tactile, durable, versatile, and attractive.

UNICEF Org Chart: How Does the United Nations Children's Fund Work
Home Organizational Chart Examples	UNICEF Org Chart: How Does the United Nations Children's Fund Work
Organizational Chart Examples 1 Comment Nancy
The UNICEF org chart shows the overall organizational structure of the United Nations Children's Fund, which is a sub-department of the United Nations (UN). So far, UNICEF does programmes in nearly 200 countries and worldwide locations with the main aim of protecting the rights of children and their families. Specific protection topics including safe shelter, nutrition, prevent disaster and conflicts etc. You can see more insights of the UNICEF org chart as clicking on the diagram below:
UNICEF Org Key Divisions and Offices
The organization has 17 functional sub-divisions covering a wide range of topics such as the Global Shared Services Center, the Early Childhood Development Division, the Gender and Development Office, and the Child Protection Programme office etc.
The Executive Office
The Leading Office is formed by one Executive Director, four Deputy Executive Directors and one Chief of Staff. The Executive Director works with programmes and issues about economic development, education, health, humanitarian and disaster protection. The Chief of Staff mainly deals with tasks like programme management, resource management, emergency solutions and business partnerships. Besides, the Deputy Directors usually works with global public sectors or private agencies to build a sustainable and affordable environment for children.
UNICEF org currently has in total seven regional offices in worldwide areas, and many of the regional officers have rich experience in handling children issues. For example, the Regional Director for Eastern and Southern Africa Ms. Leila has worked for the UNICEF for over 15 years, and she is in charge of monitoring and guiding more than 20 member countries in Africa. Furthermore, Leila also cooperates with domestic governments and civil societies for humanitarian projects.
Global Shared Services Center
The Center was established to improve operational efficiency for the whole UNICEF based on the management of international staff team from different functional departments such as human resources, administration, finance, information technology and more. Some real-time examples of the innovative programmes covering the establishment of the Enterprise Resource Planning system.
Education Division
The Director of this division of the UNICEF org works with the international network staff team to enhance the education agenda. Some of the related areas and subjects including early learning, gender development, education for disabled children and so on. The Director also joined some other global parties and funds in developing education quality.

Think back to your last in-class discussion of the course's assigned readings. Did students respond readily to your questions and demonstrate familiarity with and interest in the material? Or, did you have to expend a great deal of energy to get the conversational ball rolling? If the latter, you might be looking for some ideas that will spark increased student engagement around the process of discussing reading assignments.
Give students a few minutes at the beginning of the class session to skim the reading and their notes. You might also ask them to jot down their own questions as they do so.
Break up the class into groups. Ask each group to summarize a particular portion of the reading and share that summary during class.
At the end of class, provide students with a set of questions that address the reading assignments you intend to cover during the next session.
Create a list of Web sites that purport to be about the topic you're covering in class. Ask students to look those sites up, then evaluate the sources' relevance and validity.
Invite students to conduct their own search for sites that offer information relevant to the class topic, then share those sites with the class.
What helps spark student engagement when you are discussing reading assignments in class? Share your experiences in the comments.

"Environmental Research in the Norwegian Arctic Provides a Bellwether for 21st Century Climate Change"-talk by Mike Retelle, Professor of Geology at Bates College
« Comparing the Impacts of Climate Change upon Maine and Greenland: a talk by Professor Jeff Thaler via Zoom
Comparing the Impacts of Climate Change upon Maine and Greenland: a talk by Professor Jeff Thaler via Zoom »
The Camden Conference and the Auburn Public Library invite you to a discussion with Mike Retelle, a Professor of Earth and Climate Sciences at Bates College. At Bates, he teaches geoscience courses in earth surface processes and climate change. Mike began working in the arctic 40 years ago as a PhD candidate at the UMass Amherst. His dissertation research focused on the glacial and sea level history of Northern Ellesmere Island, in the Canadian High Arctic. Since then, he and his students have taken part in field campaigns almost yearly in the Canadian and Norwegian arctic and high latitude North Atlantic region, investigating glacial and sea level histories and other aspects of high latitude environmental change. He is currently leading a long-term monitoring project focusing on changes in a glacial watershed in Svalbard, an arctic archipelago that has been greatly impacted by the recent warming trend.
Over the last 30 years, the arctic region as a whole has warmed about double the rate of the rest of the planet, and some sectors of the northern polar regions have warmed at even greater rates. Climate models predict this trend to continue into the 21st Century. This phenomenon of an abruptly changing climate, referred to arctic amplification, is the result of interactions or feedback within the atmospheric, marine and terrestrial environments. Recent anomalous warming in the arctic has caused significant impacts on the cryosphere, or the frozen elements of the earth surface: glaciers, sea ice and permafrost.
This presentation will highlight environmental research in a glacier watershed over the last 15 years at 78o North in the Svalbard archipelago, Norwegian high arctic. Warming air surface and ocean temperatures has limited annual sea ice extent, changed seasonal patterns of precipitation, caused deeper melting in permafrost and sustained recession of glaciers and ice caps in the region. While these changes to the cryosphere at face value seem to be local and regional impacts, they have far-reaching effects in the global system that are experienced in Maine. Loss of sea ice changes the radiation budget of the planet. Permafrost melt releases greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and glacier and ice cap melt is causing a rise in global sea level. It has been recently been stated "What happens in the arctic doesn't stay in the arctic."
This discussion will take place via Zoom. To register, please contact the Reference Desk at 207-333-6640, ext. 4. When you register, please give us your email address so that we can send the Zoom link for the discussion.

Hold it a moment! Before you commit to the self-publishing route, think very carefully about your options.
Most book proposals are rejected, especially those received in their thousands by the big and/or prestigious publishing houses. Likewise, the rejection rate among the top journals is 95% or higher. But while rejection rates can be high, a quality manuscript that is appropriate to that press/journal and presented in a viable and convincing proposal has a good chance of being accepted. No matter that you are a newcomer from an obscure institution, the prospects for publication need not be dismal. As we spend a whole chapter explaining in our book, acceptance depends to a large extent on how much forethought and effort that beforehand you have put into both your proposal and the actual work itself.
That said, in pure statistical terms, it is likely that the answer to your proposal is 'no'. Nonetheless, there is more than one publisher or journal at play here; persistence and perception can dramatically improve your chances of publication.
In what ways does the next publisher on your list differ from the first?
What effect will this choice have on your revised proposal?
How could your proposal be improved generally?
Would you pitch this proposal to the new publisher any differently?
Rethinking and reworking your manuscript before approaching anyone.
In the case of a rejected book manuscript, chopping it up into several journal articles.
Bowing to the inevitable and abandoning all ideas of getting this work published.
Then there is the option of self-publishing, to which now you may want to start giving serious consideration.
If the work rejected is a journal article, then let's not muck about. The quick and easy solution is to post it on your institutional website as a working paper. This is self-publishing, done and dusted, within a day. It isn't going to win you any prizes but your scholarship is up there on display with little fuss.
But if we are talking about a book to be self-published, then a working paper isn't really the answer; the work should merit more than that. The rest of this post focuses on the self-publishing of books (as do those posts following in this thread) though authors looking to self-publish an article will glean useful information, too.
Now is the time, then, to take another cool, hard look at your manuscript.
If your text has been rejected by publisher after publisher, there is a reason, and you need to identify it. Scholarly publishing is quite unlike fiction publishing where (rare) gems can go unrecognized by dozens of publishers. Stories abound of authors being discovered and achieving fame only after they have died, sad and unpublished. Academic publishing is quite different; it is more mechanical in its application of two sets of well-defined selection criteria: the peer review process to determine scholarly value, and the publisher's experience to estimate commercial value.
Your text could have been rejected on the basis of either one, or of both, sets of criteria. It is very important that you are ruthlessly honest with yourself when you ask which situation is likely to apply in your case. If the work was rejected for both scholarly and commercial reasons, the best advice anyone can give you is to drop it and move on. If it was rejected for scholarly reasons but not for commercial ones, maybe you have been looking in the wrong place for a publisher; you might instead find it worthwhile investigating which serious trade presses to approach instead. But if, as is increasingly common, the work is fine from a scholarly point of view but was rejected as being not commercially viable, then it is a candidate for self-publishing.
Finally, you need to deepen this macro analysis into a micro one. Essentially, this is editorial work, which is described in a later post. If you have received copies of peer review reports from those publishers who have rejected your book, read the reports as advice on editorial changes. Otherwise (or additionally), ask respected colleagues to read and comment on your work. Let's be clear: only the rare colleague will give you honest and useful feedback (and family members are even more reluctant to give a bad assessment), but getting such advice is still worth pursuing.
On the basis of outside assessments, friendly feedback and your own cool analysis of the text, you will have an idea what changes to the text need to be done.
The way ahead is getting clearer.
But the thinking and analysis is not over yet. First, you need to look at your self-publishing options (between printed and digital publication). Then you need to consider what you can manage and afford (there a shocking number of things you will need to do – or pay someone else to do it – if you are to self-publish your book). Finally, you need to clarify your motives (and consequential measures of success). Only then can you clearly judge if all the effort/costs involved are likely to be worth it.

'Acting White' Remains a Barrier for Black Education
Blaming the issue on society is like telling someone on a rainy day not to use an umbrella, but to support efforts to eliminate weather.
John McWhorter | 10.8.2014 8:30 AM
Here we go again. A black woman (see photo at right) has articulately battled the idea that using standard English is "acting white" in a video that has gone viral of late, and Jamelle Bouie at Slate has called her out for propagating a myth that black students devalue school. In the eighties, (black) anthropologist John Ogbu with Signithia Fordham argued that black kids underperform in school partly because those who behave scholarly are teased as being "white," such that often fitting in means letting one's grades slip. And indeed, legions of nerdy black kids are familiar with black peers saying "Why are you working so hard on that school stuff? You think you're white?"
However, the documentation of this has always rankled those who prefer to document black problems as due to institutional racism rather than cultural problems, and over the past ten years, it has become popular to claim that it has been "refuted" that black kids think of school as "white" and that this lowers black scholastic performance.
But the people taking that position have a way of serenely neglecting counterarguments, not to mention embracing starkly shaky argumentation as authoritative simply because it makes what they regard as the better music. For example, one supposed piece of evidence that the "acting white" bit isn't a problem is that if you ask black kids if they value school they say yes. But this is hardly the smackdown argument people suppose. Last time I checked, race and racial self-identification were a subtle business. Who's up for asking Donald Sterling whether he likes black people? Aren't these sociologists, educators and journalists such as Bouie exactly the people who would laugh out the room a study claiming that you can identify people's inner racism by asking them about it?
It's careful work that shows that indeed, black American teen identity often includes a sense of school as the province of whites—which is hardly surprising given black Americans' history in this country. Clifton Casteel did a study in Elementary School Guidance and Counseling in 1997 in which white eighth and ninth graders tended strongly to say they did homework for their parents, while black kids said they did homework for their teachers—that is, the black kids had a quiet sense that school was not for what "we" are at heart. Then, Harvard's Roland Fryer has shown that among black teens, the better one does in school the fewer people report him or her as a friend—and to much more of an extent than among kids of other races.
The evidence continues. Newspaper coverage of the phenomenon has been rich. John Ogbu wrote a whole book squarely documenting black kids being told that doing well in school was white. After I wrote Losing the Race in 2000, I was surprised by thousands of letters, including over a hundred from black people explicitly attesting that they were teased as "white" for liking school, as well as from concerned teachers wondering what to do about black kids coming to them and telling them about this happening. I could go on, and on, and on (and have, elsewhere). The evidence is of crushing weight.
But no, all of this is apparently mere "anecdotes," refuted by the fact that if you ask black kids whether they respect school they say yes. Or, beyond that, people who want to wish the "acting white" problem away have a rather extraordinary collection of further feints.
The "acting white is a myth" crowd see quite the weapon in, for example, Tyson, Darity and Castellino's finding that it's mostly in integrated schools that the "acting white" charge flares up. Their implication seems to be that because it isn't an issue among poor black kids, it basically isn't an issue at all. But whence suddenly the idea that only poor black kids' problems matter? Anyone can see that the reason poor black kids underachieve is lousy schools, not being called "white," but surely we aren't under the impression that there are so few middle class black students in 2014 that their problems qualify as mere static. That black kids suffer this in advantaged circumstances such as these is exactly why the "acting white" issue is a problem.
Meanwhile, another purported riposte to people like me is studies showing that problems like poverty, poor schools, and economic duress "disprove" that the acting white charge is significant. However, they do not—they merely show that the issue is multifaceted. The question is why a widespread brand of social rejection would not have an effect, and a serious one, on grades; people claiming "acting white" is a myth have no answer to that question.
Then, we are informed that white kids get made fun of for being nerds, too. But once again, the people claiming that there is nothing race-specific about this issue are almost willfully playing dumb. It's one thing to be called nerd, but to be told you are disqualifying yourself from your race, with its implications that your presentation of yourself as black is fake, lends a particular sting. It is, quite simply, worse than being called a nerd. Why it is that people otherwise sitting always at the ready to remind us that in subtle but powerful ways, race matters, on this issue suddenly become color-blind?
The reason is that ironically, given that they readily designate people like me as working from bias, it is these detractors who are working from a deep-seated ideology rather than empiricism. They are viscerally dedicated to tracing black problems to structural problems in America's workings, and vigorously deep-sixing any idea that black people might also have some self-standing cultural issues to think about as intellectually mistaken, and probably immoral.
Never mind if someone carefully notes that the cultural problem is a legacy of racism in the past—that isn't enough. To speak of black cultural problems other than in passing is to "pathologize" black people, tout court. For example, what's being identified as black issue must be re-identified as a Southern one, or class-based—which is like a Russian saying that addressing alcoholism in Russia as a Russian problem is wrong because Finns and Swedes drink a lot too. Or, Bouie and others try an idea that it's speech and dress that are being made fun of, rather than being bookish, despite endless reports that the taunt is indeed directly about the books.
Quite simply, there are no human groups with no disadvantageous cultural traits. Practices become entrenched at first for concrete reasons, but can hold on past the circumstances that created them, piggybacking on other human leanings (think Albanian blood feuds). The "acting white" bit, for example, is compatible with teenagers' tribal impulse and is also handy for assuaging insecurity about schoolwork.
But these sociologists and journalists somehow cannot comprehend that cultural traits do not walk in lockstep with societal forces. To them, we're wrong to warn black kids not to fall for the "acting white" slur. They bristle to see media pieces teaching the public to care about it. Instead, we are to battle societal inequity and institutional racism. To me, this sounds like telling someone about to go outside on a rainy day not to use an umbrella, but to support efforts to eliminate weather.

Use a screwdriver to carefully pry off the button without damaging it. Remove the screw and lift the handle off. Note that some types of buttons screw on and are removed using a wrench. Faucets with no button on the handle have a screw on the underside. Use an Allen wrench to remove the screw then remove the handle. Some faucets handles have washers and adaptors that just slide off.
The wrench may ultimately render the sleeve useless and you may just have to replace it. 5. Use a socket wrench to then remove the shower diverter stem, carefully.


The Ludlow Independent School Board listened to a report by Superintendent Michael Borchers about a letter he received from the state concerning the CERS Employer contribution rates that have just been set by the Kentucky Retirement Board of Trustees.
The new rate for the school district for CERS nonhazardous is 28.05 percent, an increase of 8 percentage points.
Borchers discussed the rate hike with the board, saying that it will be very costly for the district. He said that the only hope is that the Kentucky Legislature will pass a pension reform bill that will allow the district to phase in the increase over several years.
Borchers told the board that the situation will need to be monitored.
Both Jason Steffen, principal at Mary A. Goetz Elementary, and Travis Caudill, principal at Ludlow High School, took a turn presenting each school's comprehensive school improvement plans. Each principal discussed key components of their plan that has been reviewed by their staffs, and judged to be helpful in moving their school forward. The strategies that the plans were based on are Key Core Work Processes, and these will be monitored by the staff at each school on a regular basis.
Jennifer McMillen, college and career-readiness coordinator, presented the comprehensive district improvement plan to the board for approval. The District Advisory Team developed the District Improvement Plan and will review the plan at its monthly meetings.
McMillen also reported to the board about the district's holiday dinner party that was held on December 7, before the high school band concert. Families of students from preschool through 12th grade came to enjoy a turkey dinner, decorate and bake cookies, play games that involved math and book bingo, make a name ornament, and enjoy talking about favorite holiday customs and traditions.
Over 300 people came to the dinner, representing 71 families.


"A community is a group of people banded together by gifts and stories."
It is embedded in our human history: stories. Even before modern day, numerous cultures have shared history lessons in the form of stories. By sharing wisdom and experiences, stories can build communities. In essence, individuals no longer feel alone; they feel a sense of belonging and connection. Those stories can generate emotion and help people cope with life's complexities.
In a day and age of the "selfie," it is quite clear that an experience can be captured by photo or video; yet, what is truly valued by sharing that moment is the desire to be seen or heard. Many times this interaction is purely one of entertainment, but there are times when some type of pain is associated with that "share." Yet, when one speaks of his or her own pain, the person who is sharing may still feel alone—especially when observers are unsure how to respond or do not understand.
We know that feeling alone and isolated can contribute to the suffering of chronic pain. It is not until pain sufferers are heard can they feel a sense of validation. By truly listening to pain stories, one can be educated and empowered with the hope that there are other ways to view or address the pain. Realizing that others have suffered too can minimize not only suffering, but loneliness that can co-exist. The detailed stories remind us that pain is not just physical, but a biopsychosocial phenomenon. Ultimately, how an individual interprets his or her pain can impact their degree of suffering and their overall function in life.
It is no surprise that many patients feel that they are unheard in the transactional business of medicine. The history of the conventional, paternalistic approach to medicine has minimized the other side of the pain story—the patient. Again, without telling their stories or without a genuine listener, patients do not feel validated nor do they get the best treatment. Without validation, the suffering of pain can perpetuate unnecessarily. If patients have their voices and stories heard by medical professionals, then the medical world could come to a better understanding or realization of that pain experience. With the advent of social media and more shared stories of pain, it is becoming clearer that the relational aspect of medicine must be bolstered.
Pain stories are reminders that pain patients need active listeners as much as medical professionals need engaged patients who are active in their own care. Once the medical system takes the time to truly listen to patients' stories without judgment, it will come to more fully understand and appreciate the struggle of those in pain and also be pleasantly surprised that their patients will finally feel heard and willing to be more active in the process of healing in multiple areas of their multidimensional lives. Most importantly, being heard can be therapeutic, in and of itself.
The beauty of a pain story is that it can evolve with the patient as he or she receives proper education and direction. Stories of despair can become stories of hope for all who bear witness—not just for that individual. By hearing his or her pain out loud, we can all dig deeper into their history. More importantly, as a medical community we can begin to unveil the root cause of that patient's pain and that would be a valuable gift for the next stories of pain to come.
Melissa Cady, D.O. is an osteopathic physician with traditional training and dual board-certification in anesthesiology and pain medicine following her fellowship.
Known as the Challenge Doctor, Dr. Cady chose not to join the typical pain practice out of conviction that there is a better way to address pain's root cause and that better education and understanding are critical pieces for all involved. Her first pain educational effort is reflected in her recent book/audiobook release, PAINDEMIC (www.PaindemicBook.com).
Dr. Cady has developed a self-funded PainOutLoud.com membership website to highlight the stories of those who have found ways to overcome their pain and also the professionals who are devoted to helping those in pain with more holistic and educational considerations.


It's more than legislations or regulations. It's your co-worker, contractor, friend, or even yourself at risk anytime and every time work is performed alone. Lab technicians, facilities maintenance shift supervisors, janitorial services, construction laborers, and tool install engineers all could, and often do, work in remote areas, out of line of sight or hearing, with little to no means of communication with their team and others. Afterhours work demands can set the stage for an isolate worker scenario. There exists a conundrum for every manager who supervises a worker; How do I protect my worker from hazards while they work alone? This conundrum has one means of risk mitigation that stands out…alone – planning your work and working your plan. Planning is THE single most important form of risk management when it comes to lone worker hazard elimination. This session will focus on resolutions to the lone worker conundrum. With audience participation, there will be discussion about the inherent risks associated with workers who work alone. We will explore the unique risk to working in the semi-conductor industry, both from a day-to-day operations stand point and from a facilities construction/sustainability perspective. A mapping exercise will take the group through a mock scenario, complete with typical management and work challenges. Best practices will be offered and reviewed. This session is intended to be interactive and supported by each attendee's participation. The session precentor will facilitate the objectives and guide the group experience.

Con il termine piante rampicanti ci si riferisce a piante che hanno la capacità di appoggiarsi e arrampicarsi a pareti verticali o altre piante vicine. Le pareti ricoperte da queste piante favoriscono, inoltre, l'isolamento termico, acustico, nonché la protezione dalle intemperie.

Questa loro capacità permette la creazione di pareti fiorite o comunque ricoperte di verde, che hanno principalmente scopo ornamentale. La funzione di sostegno delle piante rampicanti può essere svolta dai viticci. Le rampicanti sono piante con un fusto molto lungo e flessibile e necessitano di appoggiarsi ad un sostegno per poter crescere. Sono conosciute per l'utilità di avvolgere, addobbare e riempire pergolati, muri, pali e recinzioni. Le rampicanti sono piante sempreverdi, cioè capaci di mantenersi sempre verdi e vitali anche durante l'inverno.

Possibili danni
Le piante rampicanti possono danneggiare le strutture, le pareti e gli oggetti a cui sono appoggiati, soprattutto a causa della diffusione delle loro radici all'interno di muri, crepe e infrastrutture.

Rampicanti come l'edera possono danneggiare anche le piante a cui sono appoggiate.

Esempi

The demand came after Spotify removed a number of artists last week as they instituted a new hate content policy aimed at refusing exposure to those with a history of abusive behavior.
In a 2017 essay, Consequence of Sound listed some acts of misconduct that "have long existed in the public domain," including Tyler's guardianship of a 16-year-old girl whom he got pregnant when he was 27 and Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis' sexual relationship with a 13-year-old girl when he was 23. TheWeek.com recounted last year how Henley was fined and put on probation in 1980 after being found with two underage girls who were charged with drug and prostitution offences, and how, in 1978, Nugent faced kidnapping charges in connection with a 17-year-old girl when he was 30.

View Full Version : Dying moss ?
I have some moss attached to a piece of mopani wood inside a 37 gallon tank.
water temp: 84 degrees farenheit.
I do daily 50-70% water changes, ocassionally missing once a week a change. I dose at time excel and within 2 days they seem to grow new strands of moss, but due to the high water changes it is quickly removed from the tank.
I have no clue if it is Java moss, christmas moss or what kind of moss it is, and what conditions it needs. Would be great if anyone can give me some good info on how to maintain it. Do i need like some shrimp to munch out on the decaying matter?
Wait 3 months before using liquid ferts, after planting.
The PH is kind of high, but not sure if that's the cause. What kind of string do you use?
What spectrum of lighting are you using? You may need to use a broader range of lighting to help stimulate growth.
Give it time, it could be acclimating to the higher temperatures, lighting conditions, etc. As long as it has new stands growing it will be fine.
As for lighting im using a T5 HO - 6700 light and a Colormax by coralife. total wattage is 62 watts. As for light spectrum I have no knowledge on that.
What line am i using? im using fishing line.
It has already been about 2-3 months, and to be honest it hasnt grown much. I only see growth when I dose excel.
Try decreasing light exposure. 3 or 4 hours of light.
thats a lot of water changes for the moss, moss usually don't do to well with discus because of the water changes.
Put the moss near a power head,filter outflow or other high current area and you should see a change. re-check the water tests,not good to have nitrites!
Moss is a cooler water plant and does not do as well in higher temp tanks.
This tank also looks to still be cycling or at least a mini-cycle.
If moss dont do well on high temps what kind of moss will if any?
I will go ahead and place some moss near a high water current.
my temp was always 84-85. I had the java moss it did the same as yours until I put it just under the filter outlet where there was strong current. took off big time!
Push comes to shove, tie down new patch of moss from another source.
Looks like Java moss to me. I think that your temp. is a bit of a problem as it is on the high end for that plant. Adding a carbon source like Excel helps the plant to grow outside it's optimum temperature range. Putting it in a high flow area also helps the plant collect CO2. You could go broke using Excel in a Discus tank and you don't really have enough plants to warrant the addition of CO2 so I agree with jimg that you should increase water flow around the plant. It is not the light spectrum. It is not the amount of light. Could be a lack of some nutrient.
We have java and/or taiwan moss in our discus tank. Some must have gotten in by accident and it's formed massive clumps. It's attached itself to driftwood and plants as well and is going crazy. Tap water pH is around 8.5 and temperature is at about 85F. It's also growing in low current areas.
Is taiwan moss better suited? Ours is going crazy, maybe it's all taiwan moss?


AS MANY as 50,000 homeowners who are eligible for cancellation of their monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI) payments - often costing them $1,000 a year or more - have not asked to do so.
Why? Some of them may not be aware of their legal right to stop paying insurance premiums. Others may not know how to start the cancellation process or fear the paperwork and expense.
Whatever the case, here's a message for them: Do it!
Why pay good money every month for something you don't need? Now more than ever before, there are PMI-cancellation resources available to help guide you through the process, step by step. Some of the resources are free. Others will cost you a chunk of money, but will guarantee the results.
At the top of the list of free resources is a new, online service that helps you calculate whether you're eligible for premium cancellation, explains your legal rights and answers the most common questions.
The sponsor of the service is the PMI industry's own trade group, the Mortgage Insurance Companies of America. After Wednesday, you'll be able to get practical and authoritative advice - including a PMI cancellation calculator and model letters for you to send your mortgage servicer to initiate cancellation - at the Web site www.privatemi.com.
The free service is being launched, according to an industry official, to "make the whole process as consumer-friendly and understandable as possible. We really would like to reach out to those people who may be eligible" to cancel their PMI but have not done so.
These are primarily homeowners whose loans are owned by giant investors Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and whose equity levels in their properties exceed 20 percent of current market value.
The industry estimates that between 30,000 and 50,000 borrowers around the country meet all the requirements for cancellation because of high appreciation of home values in their area and capital improvements they've made to their homes.
Under federal legislation enacted more than two years ago, homebuyers paying PMI can request cancellation of premiums at the 20 percent equity level, provided they have paid their loans on time. For mortgages less than five years old, Fannie and Freddie may require a higher equity threshold, 25 percent. Neither company permits cancellations on loans less than two years of age, no matter what equity level the borrower has attained.
Payments current at the time of application for PMI cancellation.
No payments more than 30 days late in the past 12 months.
No more than one late-payment penalty in the past 12 months.
No notice of default recorded against the property.
On the subject of property valuations for PMI cancellation, the new privatemi.com service notes that a new appraisal may - or may not - be necessary. Certain servicers will settle for broker price opinions (BPOs) or comparative market analyses (CMAs) that are far less expensive than full appraisals.
Can you order your own appraisal and use it to get your PMI cancelled? The new advisory service's answer is an emphatic no.
"Your servicer will arrange an appraisal from a qualified and approved appraiser. If you get an appraisal that is not from an approved appraiser, you will have to pay the additional cost for a second appraisal from an appraiser who is on the servicer's list of approved appraisers."
At the other end of the spectrum for PMI cancelation advice is a commercial service that charges $499 to handle the entire transaction for you.
A Massachusetts-based firm (www.pmiremovalandrecovery.com) promises to take care of all correspondence, escrow account analyses and disputes with servicers should you prefer not to get involved. When visited in mid-May, the firm's Web site offered a complete cancellation package for "$199," but Chief Executive Officer Kevin Heffernan said that "that needs to be updated" and that the standard fee is now $499, including an appraisal.

September 26, 2013: Vancouver, B.C.: Argentum Silver Corp. (ASL:TSX-V) has received assay results from a recent trenching program on its 100% owned Coyote property in Jalisco, Mexico. Surface trenching has extended the main El Tajo vein for an additional 375 meters to the south along strike. Mineralization at the El Tajo vein remains open at depth and along strike to the south. The trenching also exposed 2 new zones on the La Valenciana vein, one over 350 metres in strikelength and a second over 600 metres in strikelength.
"The trenching results from the El Tajo vein added an additional 375 metres of strikelength to the 600 metres initially drill tested. Other veins on the balance of the property returned significant high grade silver values, which have yet to be drill tested." says, Warren McIntyre, President of Argentum.
The trenching program was successful in exposing and extending all of the principal silver zones. Sample location maps are available here.
The southern extension of the El Tajo Zone was identified in 13 trenches over a strikelength of 375 metres, and remains to be drill tested. These trenches displayed generally elevated silver results>10 g/t Ag, including Trenches Z-56 through 59 (tabled above), which contained better silver grade continuity along a 100 metre strike located at the end of the trend. This shows potential for a further extension to the south, with more trenching and sampling to be done prior to drill testing.
The presumed northern extension of the El Tajo Zone was prospected selectively, with 16 trenches over a 600 metre strikelength. Some veining was encountered where silver values range from 10 to 48 g/t Ag, but no significant mineralized widths were encountered. More trenching is required to follow up on the anomalous silver values returned to determine potential drill target areas.
The principal La Valenciana Zone was exposed by 13 trenches along a 350 metre strikelength, and returned consistent silver values above 30 g/t Ag, including those highlighted in the table above. A secondary sub-parallel vein in the La Valenciana Zone was exposed by 20 trenches over a 600 metre strikelength. This sub-parallel vein displayed consistent silver values above 10 g/t Ag. Argentum geologists believe surface assay values in the La Valenciana Zone to be in the upper horizon of the silver mineralized system, and that better grades may be encountered at depth.
The La Colorada Zone was prospected by 13 trenches along a 430 metre strikelength and identified multiple quartz zones and mineralized zones. Trenches Z-4 and Z-5 represent 90 metre lateral continuity of good silver grades.
Finally, the southern extension of the Florida Zone was exposed by 7 trenches over a 300 metre strikelength. All trenches returned values of >30 g/t Ag, including Z-103 and Z-107 tabled above.
An additional 31 trenches tested several peripheral and sub-parallel zones to those described above, with only limited success.
The objective of the trenching program was to identify lateral extensions to known mineralized silver zones with good grades and widths in order to define future drill target areas. A total of 113 trenches were excavated and chip sampled principally on the El Tajo, La Valenciana, La Colorada, Bocancha, and Florida Zones. Trenches were completed over a total 1,636 meters spaced roughly every 25 metres along strike over selective portions of zone projections. A full table of results is available on the Company's website.
"Argentum plans on following up prospecting by trenching and drill-testing newly identified zones and expansions of current zones," said Warren McIntyre, President of Argentum. "A total of seven zones and over seven kilometres of strike potential have been identified on surface. Only four zones have been drill tested, with the El Tajo vein being the main focus. The newly tested La Valenciana zone has shown early potential and requires further prospecting and drilling to confirm. The Company has the opportunity to quickly grow the potential of the Coyote Project".
Assaying of the chip samples from this program was completed by ALS Chemex through their office in Guadalajara, Mexico. Analytical procedures include a 33 element ICP-AES analysis (ME-ICP61m) and a 50 g FA AA finish for gold (AA-24). Silver assays exceeding 100 g/t are re-assayed by HCL leach with an ICP-AES or AAS finish (OG62). Paul Cowley, P. Geo., and the Company's Senior Geological Consultant and Advisor, and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 designed and supervised the program, and reviewed and approved the contents of this press release.
The 1,053 hectare Coyote property contains dozens of individual intermediate sulfidation epithermal silver-gold veins and stockworking. Most of the mineralization occurs within seven defined zones within an area of approximately 1.5 x 2.6 kilometres. Vein widths typically range from 1.0 to over 5.0 metres. Surface exposures of stockworking have been mapped and sampled over widths exceeding 35 metres.
The Coyote project is located near the town of Chilacayote, within the state of Jalisco, Mexico. Road access and infrastructure are excellent. The property is approximately 150 kilometres southwest of the capital city of Guadalajara, roughly a 3½ hour drive. Topography is generally gentle to moderate. A regional electrical power line crosses the property.

Beyond the backline: Jorge Ortiz, marrying flair with grit
By editor3
Goa, January 05, 2021.
There are only a few players that can be labelled as being 'worth the price for admission'. Of course, the global COVID-19 pandemic has meant for football games being played without any in-house attendance.
The phrase though still works. You can modify it to something like 'worth turning the television on for'. You get the sense of it all.
Jorge Ortiz is exactly that kind of a player.
His unpredictability, directness and distinctiveness of play are some of the reasons that have the FC Goa faithful pinning their hopes of a second consecutive league title.
"I have known Jorge for a long time. I knew that in this league he was going to stand out," beams a confident Edu Bedia.
"He has a lot of energy and speed. And skills to go with it".
What you see about Ortiz is what you get. The excitement that he brings forth on common viewing is backed up in numbers as well.
The leader in the league in terms of shots on goal, dribbles (attempted and successful) and crosses into the box, the Spaniard ranks amongst the highest in virtually all attacking stats and a vital reason why the FC Goa fans had their hopes up despite an inconsistent start.
Ortiz though wants praise if it comes as part of the bigger scheme of things.
"It is not easy by any means (to get gaudy stats to bode is the ISL) and these numbers not only speak about me but also the entire team. It speaks of the work that all the team members do," remarked Ortiz whilst speaking on his fabulous first season.
"I think I came here at a very good time in my career and to a team whose style of play makes me enjoy taking to the field."
The grit
Head Coach Juan Ferrando has been equally impressed with his fellow Spaniard's performance. His praise, however, is not limited to his contributions is attack.
"I believe he (Jorge) stands out for his capacity for defensive work and putting pressure on the opposing team high up the pitch. He works really hard for the team," opined Juan Ferrando. "The assists and goals will stand out for sure, but it's the completeness of the player that you have to really admire."
The 23rd of December saw FC Goa take on Jamshedpur FC in a vital game for the Gaurs. The side's initial slump this season was seemingly overcome with back-to-back wins over Odisha and Kerala. That feeling of getting back on track would soon dissipate with two losses on the trot at the hands of ATK Mohun Bagan and Chennaiyin.
And then came Jamshedpur. Unbeaten in their previous 5 coming into the game, Owen Coyle's side struck first to really put the gun to the Gaurs' heads. FC Goa responded in the firmest of fashions- with an equaliser in the second half before a winner in injury time.
Whilst Igor Angulo got the adulation for his brace and the eventual winner, what would have delighted the keen observer was Ortiz's grit right at the far end of the game. He showed real grit and to earn his side a corner – from which Goa would score the eventual winner.
"That was an important moment for us. He has put up good performances in all the games, but if you are asking me for concrete moments, I would say one of them is the determination he showed to win a corner in the 95th minute when playing against Jamshedpur," remarked Ferrando.
"Two other moments which also stick out are the run against ATK Mohun Bagan and his goal against Chennaiyin.
"I am very happy for Jorge. He is a very good player and is showing what he can do on the pitch. In football, there always are details where you can improve technically and tactically and I have full trust he will get even better as the season goes on.
"As a player, he does his best and works hard in every single training session. He is an example for everyone because he shows everyone can keep improving day by day."
The 28-year-old is arguably the best embodiment of FC Goa's never-say-die attitude. An all-action midfielder, he is one peg that can be plugged into holes of all sorts in the Gaur's frontline.
"Jorge comes from playing in Spain, one of the most competitive leagues in football. There, if you don't defend and work for the team, you don't play," remarked Edu on Ortiz's work rate. "I am not at all surprised with his play so far."
After causing a real menace on both wings, recent times have seen his playing time coming more centrally with Juan Ferrando looking to up the tempo to transition from defence to attack.
"On the field, I try to give him the ball as quickly as possible when we are in transition so he has space to exploit," Bedia added further. "It's in those situations that he can do a lot of damage to the opponent."
It's those situations that set the pulse racing. A glimpse of Jorge Ortiz running at full tilt at the opposition is akin to waiting for the pizza at your favourite Pizzeria. You are already all in, expecting nothing but the best.
A little cut back inside or a knock on ahead to beat the defender. A swift turn or space enough to smack in a timely cross – with Ortiz on the ball, the FC Goa faithful not only have hope for the best but a belief that good things will come to them – time and again.
"I believe that he has just scratched the surface of his potential," feels Bedia. "When he knows more about the league and the teams, he will move on to the next gear."
Now that's a gear we will be waiting for!
