Rosario Dawson Still Has Great Empathy to Transphobic Accuser Amid 'Mandalorian' Casting Backlash
12/01/2020 Comments Off on Rosario Dawson Still Has Great Empathy to Transphobic Accuser Amid 'Mandalorian' Casting Backlash
Commenting on the lawsuit made by a longtime family friend, the actress portraying Ahsoka Tano on the 'Star Wars' series insists that her record in backing the LGBTQA community is pretty clear.
AceShowbiz –Rosario Dawson has broken her silence over the transphobia allegations against her. Though finding her casting on "The Mandalorian" being questioned by fans due to a lawsuit made by a longtime family friend more than a year ago, the Ahsoka Tano depicter admitted to have nothing but a great empathy for her accuser.
The 41-year-old was asked to share her thought on the anti-trans bias accusations against her and her family during an interview with Vanity Fair. In response, she stated, "Well, firstly, I just want to say I understand that, and why people were concerned, and are concerned. I would be too if I heard some of those claims. But I mean, as we're seeing right now in these past months, and just recently, actually, the truth is coming out."
"Every single claim of discrimination has been dismissed by the person who made them," the girlfriend of Senator Cory Booker went on to stress. "And as you've said, the fact that this is coming from someone I've known since I was a teenager, the better part of my life, and who my family was trying to help as we have many times in the past, it really just makes me sad. But I still have a great empathy for him."
When it was mentioned that 18 of the 20 claims were "withdrawn voluntarily without a settlement," the "Zombieland: Double Tap" actress commented, "The reason that all of the discrimination claims were dropped is because they didn't happen." She added, "I was raised in a very inclusive and loving way, and that's how I've lived my entire life."

The Claire Temple of "Luke Cage" further pointed out, "I've always used my voice to fight for, lift up, and empower the LGBTQA community, and use my platform to channel trans voices, in fiction and nonfiction work that I've produced and directed. So I feel the record is really clear."
Rosario's casting as Ahsoka has been criticized by many. One chided, "yeah live action Ahsoka Tano is cool and all but so would rosario dawson losing her job because she's transphobic." Another complained, "goddamn i still can't believe transphobic a** rosario dawson is playing one of the greatest characters ever written UGHHHEHFHDJD."
A third also chimed in, "On one hand, excited to see ahsoka on Mando but on the other, f**k rosario dawson, the transphobic c**t." A fourth further blasted the actress, "Rosario Dawson is a transphobic piece of s**t until proven otherwise and a dropped lawsuit does not prove otherwise thank you bye."
Rosario was sued by Dedrek Finley, who previously went by Deidre before coming out as a transgender man, in October 2019. Dedrek claimed in his lawsuit that he knew the "Sin City" actress and her family for decades, but when he came out, they began to verbally and physically abuse and disrespect him.

Here's a close-up of the workbox scissor fob embroidery which I did a few weeks ago. As I was editing the image I remembered that there's supposed to be an embroidered border around both the initial and the flower so I must do that soon before I forget again. When made up, the fob will be approximately 2.5 cm square.


The judge found that Manafort made materially false statements to prosecutors in three out of five instances outlined by Mueller's office.
She also determined that Mueller's office's accusation that Manafort breached his plea agreement was made in good faith.
In light of that, the judge nullified Manafort's plea deal with Mueller and released prosecutors from any obligations outlined in the agreement.
US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled Wednesday that Paul Manafort, the former chairman of President Donald Trump's campaign, lied to prosecutors in three out of five instances outlined by the special counsel Robert Mueller's office.
Manafort lied after striking a plea deal with Mueller's team last year, following his conviction on several counts of tax and bank fraud.
His interactions with the former Russian intelligence operative Konstantin Kilimnik and Kilimnik's role in the alleged conspiracy to obstruct justice by trying to influence the testimony of two witnesses in February.
A late November court filing from Mueller's office accused Manafort of lying to investigators from the special counsel's office and the FBI "on a variety of subject matters" in the two months he was nominally a formal cooperating witness in the Russia probe.
The filing said Manafort "thus relieves the government of any obligations it has under the agreement," since the terms of the plea deal required Manafort to agree not to commit crimes during the course of his cooperation.
Manafort's lawyers, meanwhile, argued that he did not intentionally lie to or mislead prosecutors, but that he may have misstated some details because of gaps in his memory or because some questions from prosecutors were not entirely clear in what they were seeking from him. His lawyers also disputed prosecutors' characterization of information Manafort provided.
Manafort signed the agreement and his lawyers also conceded later that Mueller's accusations were made in good faith. In light of that, and following a review of documentary evidence and testimony in legal proceedings, Jackson ruled that Mueller's office's accusation that Manafort breached his plea deal was made in good faith.
"Therefore, the Office of Special Counsel is no longer bound by its obligations under the plea agreement, including its promise to support a reduction of the offense level in the calculation of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines for acceptance of responsibility," Jackson wrote.
The ruling did not make a determination on whether Manafort "will receive credit for his acceptance of responsibility" in connection to federal sentencing guidelines, adding that the court would decide that when Manafort went to his final sentencing hearing.
Manafort was scheduled to go to trial again in September, but instead struck a deal with the special counsel's office to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy and one count of obstruction of justice in exchange for his cooperation.
Now that Manafort's plea deal has fallen apart, legal scholars say his best bet at freedom is a presidential pardon.

WASHINGTON — Amazon founder Jeff Bezos announced Thursday he was creating a philanthropic fund with a $2 billion initial commitment to help homeless families and launch preschools in low-income communities.
The world's richest individual made the announcement on Twitter a year after asking for ideas on how he could use his personal fortune — now estimated at some $163 billion — for charitable efforts.
The "Bezos Day One Fund" created by Bezos and his wife MacKenzie will focus on two areas — helping "existing nonprofits that help homeless families" and funding "a network of new, nonprofit, tier-one preschools in low-income communities," he wrote.
For the homeless, grants will be given to organizations "doing compassionate, needle-moving work to provide shelter and hunger support to address the needs of young families," Bezos said.
The fund will also seek to launch and operate "a network of high-quality, full-scholarship, Montessori-inspired preschools in underserved communities," he wrote.
"We will build an organization to directly operate these schools." Bezos said the schools would "use the same set of principles that have driven Amazon" and that "the child will be the customer."
The $2 billion initiative, while significant, is far less than the philanthropic efforts of other billionaires including Microsoft's Bill Gates, who has donated tens of billions to his foundation, and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, who has pledged to donate 99 percent of his shares in the social media giant to an organization focused on public good.
It also falls short of the "giving pledge" initiative launched by Gates and billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who have encouraged wealthy individuals to pledge half their fortunes for philanthropy.
Bezos's fortune comes mainly from his stake in Amazon, the diversified online firm, which briefly hit $1 trillion in market value this month and is the second most valuable company after Apple.
Last year, he donated $33 million to fund scholarship for "dreamers," the name given to undocumented children of immigrants who face legal obstacles in attending college or university.
Launched in 1994 as an online bookseller, Amazon has become a retail powerhouse operating globally, and has expanded into streaming video, music, cloud computing and other segments, and last year acquired the Whole Foods grocery chain.
Amazon's digital assistant Alexa has helped drive its hardware sales and is used on smart devices ranging from cars to refrigerators.
According to the research firm eMarketer, Amazon's e-commerce revenue will grow more than 28 percent this year to reach $394 billion, and will account for 49 percent of US online retail sales and nearly five percent of all retail spending.


DCHAS-L Archives, May 18 2018 - Re: [DCHAS-L] mouse bait anyone?
Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] mouse bait anyone?
At the very least this will make that mouse's life miserable. https://www.tanglefoot.com/products/insect-control/tree-tanglefoot-insect-barrier My dad used this stuff to keep the gypsy moth caterpillars off our oak trees and it works really well. Even if she doesn't get caught in it, she will stick to everything and everything to her. Teach her a good lesson at the very least.
Just don't touch it yourself once it's installed. Very sticky. One day the family cat went up one of those trees. You've never seen a more pathetic looking sticky ball of fur. It took many hours to get it off the cat using Dawn and patient manual scrubbing.
I wonder if they sell sticky traps in 8 foot lengths? I could block all the window access.
The last mouse I got was with a glue trap. The little guy/gal was in the habit of climbing into my kitchen drawers near the sink. I put a glue trap in one of them, near the front of the drawer & left it there for several days. The little vermin got used to it & easily avoided it. Then I moved it to the back of the drawer & placed it such that it was in the path of easiest access for the little rodent. Bingo! I checked it the next morning, and the little fur ball was hopelessly stuck. I got a gallon size storage bag & deposited glue trap & victim in it, sealed it, then deposited it into the the trash. Mission accomplished!
Have you tried a glue trap? Here's a short story. When my kids were young we caught a mouse in the garage on a glue trap, the only problem was what to do with it until my husband came home. I am deathly afraid of rodents. I decided I could hit it on the head with a shovel. So I get the shovel and of course miss. I then proceeded to slam the floor many times until it was flat. I look up to see the entire neighborhood of kids watching. The story spread like fire " mrs koza killed a rat in her garage and she hit it many times".
Barbara, In 50 years of living in a rodent-infested building that has twice gone into bankruptcy, once during which I had to get a booklet to learn how to run a #6 oil-burning boiler in order to keep heat and hot water coming despite the hoard of basement-dwelling Norway rats I needed to disperse every day to get to it, I can assure you I am familiar with the odor of dead rodents of every size.
And this experience helps me in my job for the film industry since abandoned buildings are a favorite area shooting movies. They want our workers to work in locations full of rodents, pigeon poop, lead paint, asbestos and other goodies. So my experience enables me to positively identify which of the three varieties of rodents here in the City, mice, Norway rats, or roof rats, are in the venue by looking at their poo.
But this is the first time in 50 years that a rodent has resisted all my rather experienced attempts to do it in. If this is a clue to future interaction between mice and humans in the City, we are in for a serious problem.
Our apartment has a floor-through configuration, so an open window at one end and an exhaust fan at the other keeps the air moving so fast it is hardly noticeable. I think the odor is more of a problem for people who live in homes that are insulated and have recirculating ventilation systems. Open windows and energy inefficiency is a much healthier way to live.
Thanks for worrying about me. It's a nice feeling.
I hope for your sake the mouse does not expire inside the walls. The odor could last for several weeks.You may need to book a long vacation while the smell abates. Your apartment decon of all the droppings and poisons sounds like it will take some time.
What's next- armored window screens or a pet boa constrictor??
That was my concern. I saw our adversary when I was practicing last night. And she eats so much D-Con and Just-One-Bite that she leaves little bright green poopies around. I think she'd give a cat some major indigestion.
But last night I also didn't put out any D-Con and mixed the Just-One-Bite and the Tom Cat shavings. This morning it looks she's eaten quite a bit of the Tom Cat. I've pulled out an old aria from an obscure Handel oratorio called Ester that I hope to practice soon: It's Esther's Alleluia.
One note of caution about using a cat to deal with the mouse. This mouse may have ingested and be loaded up with warfarin and/or coumadin. If the cat kills and eats the rodent, the cat can become very sick and even die from it. This happened to a neighbor's cat, caught a rat that had eaten the bait and the cat became the $1000 cat when it became so sick.
We often get mice and voles in the house in the fall, and one way we have caught several of them over the years is with an empty large coffee can, lying on its side, with some sort of food, apple would work, but we often use lunch meat, in the bottom. The critter runs in, and eats, and then you tip the can up. Once it has eaten in the can a couple of times, it's easy to bait it and sit and wait for it. It usually doesn't take long, and we've never had one be able to run up the inside of a large can. It's too slippery. So, we clap the lid on, take it outside, and terminate it using an object large enough to fit in the can and crush it instantly (like a log for the fireplace). I know it sounds nasty, but the critter dies quickly, and won't come back once it's dead. And, even though we end up sitting and waiting for it to take the bait, we've never had to wait more than half an hour, once the mouse has learned that it can get food in the can. For voles, the bait must be meat, like lunch meat, or cheese, or meat flavored dog or cat food. Voles don't eat plant materials, as they are carnivores. Some mice will prefer the same type of treat that the voles will go for, since mice are omnivores.
However, many of our neighbors use a cat with success, and if you aren't allergic, and don't want a lifetime commitment to an animal in your home, you might be able to borrow one for a few days and nights from a friend who is a pet owner. You'll have to borrow one that hasn't been declawed though, or it won't be able to actually catch the mouse. And, the difficulty here, is that since your home invading mouse is full of poison, if the cat actually ate the mouse, you might end up having to explain to your friend how their pet died. Personally, knowing cat owners, I wouldn't want to risk killing a friend's pet.
I suspect you would now miss the company of your four-legged friend, should you succeed in terminating it's existence.
Providing you are prepared for the loss, I have a few suggestions.
Based on the info provided, I suspect the mouse has learned to avoid recognized traps. It likely won't matter what bait is used, the bait won't overcome the trap avoidance.
Nice don't free-drink water. They obtain water from the food they eat. Based on what it prefers to eat, I suspect the mouse is craving water.
I'd be willing to bet a fresh apple slice would provide a scent and the moisture to be an effective attractant. But not for a trap the mouse knows to avoid.
I recommend that you borrow or obtain a small live trap. The trap needs to be small to ensure the mouse can't escape the trap. Because they can compress their collar bones, mice can pass through an opening the size of a dime.
While you're obtaining the trap, try and unfettered apple slice to see if the mouse takes it.
Once you have a successful bait identified and a trap unfamiliar to the mouse, you need to train the mouse to the trap. If it becomes scared of the trap without being caught, you're back to square one.
Put the successful bait near the new trap, but not in it. Next, fix the trap in a set position, but rigged so it doesn't trip. Put the successful bait inside until the mouse is accustomed to taking bait from the trap. Then set and bait the trap to catch the mouse.
If it's a live trap, I suggest you offer your survivor friend a second chance outdoors. But, if you want to put it down, you can do so with dry ice and a plastic bag.
Veh es mir. Still nothing except the information that jam won't do it. But tomorrow night will be the BIG test. I've made a list of all the ideas for attracting the mice to the many traps and every idea will be represented. Some traps will have multiple types of attractants. We better not have to get up in the night or we are likely to lose toes.
I certainly hope, for the sake of New York, (indeed, the rest of the world!) that this super mouse does not pass on her insane biochemistry to her progeny. Oy ve!
Thanks, but I own two types of those bucket spinners and this mouse isn't at all interested. I could try the jam. Haven't use that. And using peanut butter is a guarantee that the mouse won't go near the thing.
Google bucket mouse traps. Peanut butter and oatmeal are my staple for regular traps. For the bucket trap you could try jam or honey on the bucket roller.
Reviews are mixed, but contain lots of advice about different kinds of cheeses- Also read the reviews from other sites.
Hey, it even has an SDS (which says it is not hazardous-which means it does not need an SDS-but they filled out all the info anyway just because).
I love my apartment. I've lived here since 1969. Every fall, for almost 50 years, a few mice come in, we poison and trap them, and in less than a week we are back to normal. I moved to NYC from living in my farm house/studio in Wisconsin where the procedure was, and still is, the same. The mice come in when its fall, you do them all in, and settle down for the winter.
Well, that's not what happened last year. We killed a few, but not one particular mouse.
We are in a six-floor walk-up and this is one of the mice that run on the moldings on the outside of NYC buildings and come in over the sills of open windows (I see them come in each year). The mouse is still here this spring because it lives on D-Con (eats a ~1/4 cube per day), Just-One-Bite (eats about a teaspoon full per night off those big yellow poison bars), the roots of my plants, and a couple of bird seeds that I miss when I clean up the feeder every night. Our apartment is festooned with bait traps, snap traps, electronic traps, and sticky traps.
I even tried a few home made concoctions. But the mouse associates peanut butter and cheese with snap traps, and won't go near any concoctions. She prefers the commercial poisons. Sometimes she eats so much poison that her little poopies are bright D-Con green.
I KNOW it's a SHE because, in these miserable 8 months, she has TWICE raised a litter to the point that they can leave where ever she is nesting. The wee mice tear up the whole house for a day and all die from the poisons or in the traps. If one of her offspring inherits both the poison immunity and her smarts, we are going to be in BIG trouble.
The building's regular licensed exterminator only offers snap traps and D-Con. And I can't do integrated pest management in a 150 year old tenement whose walls and floors leak like sieves. Without open windows we'd have no fresh air. Some of my plants have lived with us 30 years and I'm not getting rid of them (although I forgot to move one of the plants into the bathtub last night and she ate so much of the roots it will probably die). And I clean up the bird seed from the feeder every night but I'm not giving up birds.
I'm just not giving up 50-year, happy, fulfilling life style for one damn mouse. Instead: I NEED SOMETHING THAT WORKS. I am willing to entertain just about any ideas.

Q: How to log to a file in Redux? Is there any simple way how to log actions and states from Redux to a file? I found this awesome logger https://github.com/evgenyrodionov/redux-logger, but it seems to be used only for logging to console.

A: You can't simply log to a file since your application is executed by the browser. If you want to export logs to a log file, you have to add some mechanism to send back this information to server. Then server will be able to put this infos in a file.

A: *

*Decorate your logger to intercept any log

*store any log to a state

*JSON.stringify your state

*create ObjectURL from your state. (MDN)

*Download it from <a download="logs.json" src="${objecturl}" />

A: Looks like redux-logger accepts a logger parameter where you can specify your own console implementation.

What Has Africa Got to Do With
Ugwu Hilary Ike December 14, 2008
What has the black man or woman got to do with reason, philosophy, mathematics, science and logic? Down through the history, many have held this affirmation in the truism form.
The reality is that Africans are in a gradual but progressive techno-scientific and evolutionary mass awareness. The transformative effect of positive science comes by a mass movement of people and ideas—the revolution of consciousness. In a more elucidated application of terminology, it is best referred to as renaissance. While mass idea of scientific renaissance might be recondite, the fact remains that pure positivism of science is in progressive metamorphoses. A history of any people is often presented in segmented pages. The African is in a particular phase in the history of his or her existence. This historical phase does not pose in a standstill but in a constant shift to the next. That the previous centuries were not African centuries does in no way indicate that the futuristic centuries would also elude. Every history is born through struggle for self awareness and realization. The new Africa would eventually be born.
The notion that the African is incapable of scientific articulation, abstract mathematical and logical ingenuity has no base in the socio-historical and biological evolution of the human species. The self-realization and scientific awareness of the homo sapience takes a gradual formula and varies from people to people and from culture to culture. To borrow a little from a German thinker; J. W.F Hegel in his hypothesis of phenomenology of Spirit, the human consciousness is evolutionary in the process of self awareness. The cosmic spirit/consciousness embodied in the human race, on the course of time transforms itself from simple to complex, from mythology and superstition to science, from savage barbarity to ethical civilization. The history of Europe is a clear example of this evolutionary trend: there were the barbarians, the witches, sorceries, tribal wars and inversions, religious fanaticism and inquisition, unexplainable diseases and sicknesses etcetera. Gradually, rational evolution started to take effect and the societies instead became aware of the power of the human mind and science. The Frenchman, August Comte, also regarded as the father of sociology perceived the entirety of the history of the human evolution in three phases viz the religious phase(superstition, ancestor worships, animism, pantheism), metaphysical phase(sense of questioning the world and established knowledge) and the positive or scientific phase(pure scientific enlightenment of the human mind). This last phase is the phase that Europe and America enjoys in the present world system.
To say that Africans are rationally and scientifically subordinate is to deny the fact of human systematic evolution in general. Tell me about a history of a people, no matter how developed, and I will point out periods of darkness and confusion along the trend. The perceived problems in the African continent are histories evolutionary steps to the next phase. In Europe, there was a black plague disease that nearly wiped every living person. History has its own mechanism, it was overcome. There had been famine and wars and diseases throughout history, mankind also overcame them. Who then thought that Africa is stuck in time? According to the Greek philosopher, Hiraclitus, change is the only permanent thing in the universe. And that struggle is necessary in both the internal and external mechanism of change.
It is therefore an historical err to presume that because of the present socio-economic and political quagmires in the continent of Africa, the Africans are socially, culturally, scientifically, economically and technologically incapable. Socio-scientific and technological revolutionary evolution is underway. Still, the African intellectual ingenuity should not be evaluated by what the people had gone through in history; what they are going going through now or what they will go through in the future. Every history of a people is like the laver which transforms form crawling caterpillar to a flying colorful butterfly.
To buttress this point, Egypt, Greece and Rome and even the imperial British empire, while the rest of the human race were still deep in the dose of historic epoch, did enjoy certain sound ingeniousness of the human adventures as mathematics, astrology, logic, literature, science and cultural occupation of the world. But by its nature, the term socio-rational evolution does not stand stationary in one particular historical dais. When civilization started in Alexandra, Egypt, it was taken away by the Greece, then by the Romans, then infested and modified by Christian ideologies and philosophies, then spread all over Europe, climaxing in the great sense of American liberty and democracy. The USSR attempted taking over the world with the communist civilization. Although, this feat was a historic failure. Today, the great puzzlement lingers between the gigantic and humongous China (that is awakening) and the rest of mankind. China was considered insignificant in the past. Today, no one can say that any more.
In all these global games, where is the place of the African in the 21st century? The answer is: her appropriate time in underway. Those who presume Africa would remain the misery of the world need to revisit human history in its entirety. African is passing through a phase it must overcome sooner or later. The change of rational human consciousness does not happen in one single day. Historically, it took time for the collective consciousness of the Africans to understand the pendulum of slave trade. It also took time for the African man to realize and fight colonization and imperialism. In this very historic epoch, the Africans are thinking hard and redefining their proper place in the historical route of the global human movement. After the collective consciousness of the Africans has defined who an African is, the next phase would be to define the rightful existential place for the African in this spherical object known as the planet earth.
It took centuries for the Africans to be told who they are and ought to be by imperial colonialism and slave trade. Therefore, the African, need a redefinition of identity in the clarity of indigenous perspective. The mass migration of the Africans across the earth is negatively positive; it undoubtedly exposes the people to the unmitigated racism. Thus it creates a nostalgic euphoria that in ones own home dwells every dignity and self respect. Wake up Africans!

Anton Arhipov (@antonarhipov), JRebel product manager at Zero Turnaround will be speaking at DevNation.
Wednesday 4/16 @ 1:20 p.m.
Developer productivity has always been in focus, and Java, as a platform, has made us very productive to support the needs of businesses. Millions of enterprises run web applications powered by the Java EE platform, but developing them is no small feat. Every UI change in development incurs a wait time of up to 15 minutes and sometimes even longer! JRebel is a tool that tackles the challenge of live application update for the Java EE platform.
First and foremost, you will learn about the tool itself – how can you apply JRebel for simplifying development process.
Learn a bit more about Java platform than you usually would – what are the technical and conceptual challenges for the problem that JRebel is trying to solve.
Get a though provoking view on the Java ecosystem and how Java tooling works.
These days I'm quite interested in data analytics, therefore I'm looking forward to attend the "Fast and easy data analytics with Apache Spark" by Pat McDonough but also the talk on "How Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana provide real-time" data enlightenment.
I'm also curious about the prospects of OpenShift and PaaS in general, thus I'll to sneak into OpenShift roadmap session presented by Matt Hicks and Ashesh Badani.
Of course, no conference should miss a talk on performance issues! There will be the talk called "Receipts to analyze common performance issues" by Will Cohen. It doesn't seem to be quite Java centric, so I'm really curious what will it be about.
Do you want to learn more about how to tackle the challenges of live application update for the Java EE platform ?
Ioannis Canellos (@iocanel), Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat will be speaking at DevNation.
The first talk is going to be an introduction to Fabric8, that will help people to understand what this is all about.
The second talk is going to be a dive into the more technical stuff, that will help people to understand how to get the most out of Fabric8.
People. I always find it awesome to talk with people from the "community" and also with people from other "communities" that are close to Fabric8.
Do you want to learn more about Fabric8 and how it makes to easily provision, configure and manage open source integration technologies on a number of containers (or JVMs). ?
Paul Robinson (@pfrobinson), Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat will be speaking at DevNation.
If ACID transactions are not appropriate, you don't need to throw out transactions altogether.
Compensating-transactions can bring additional transactional guarantees to MongoDB, without harming scalability.
WildFly 8 comes with a developer-friendly, annotation based API for using compensating-transactions that you can use today.
In previous years, JUDCon has always been the highlight of my professional calendar, giving me the opportunity to mix with many of the key people in the JBoss community. Looking at the speaker lineup for DevNation suggests that this conference will be no different.
TIP: I recommend making a list of all the people you want to meet and what you want to chat with them about. This has helped me to make sure I made the most of the opportunity and didn't miss anyone in the excitement of the event.
Markus Eisele (@myfear, blog.eisele.net), Principal Technology Consultant at MSG-Systems AG will be speaking at DevNation.
What session are you giving at DevNation ?
There are many different ways of taking advantage from different approaches. Not every single one is the right one.
I've been to Boston for RedHat's JUDCon in 2012 and got my JBCRA for my contributions to the Arquillian project. And I was always wondering about the more or less one day event, and the extremely high quality sessions that were held without much recognition in the overall developer scene. Everything was kind of overlayed by RedHat Summit.
Register for DevNation today! Early bird ends on Mar 14.

The Schantz Family in North America is large and widespread; alternative spellings of the last name includes variations such as Tschantz, Shantz, Shonts, and Schanz. The family descended from Jacob Schanz (June 12, 1710-February 5, 1781) who emigrated to the United States of America in 1737 and settled in Pennsylvania. In 1810 Jacob's son Christian Shantz (1769-1857) came to Waterloo County and settled at Freeport on the Grand River.
Christian's son Benjamin Shantz (1811-1868) was an early Waterloo County inhabitant and one of the founders of Port Elgin, Ontario where he settled in 1854 and established a grist and flour mill. Benjamin married Lydia Kolb (1814-1862) on April 10, 1842 and together they had ten children; Josiah K. Schantz (1834-1913), Catharine Schantz (May 17, 1836-February 28, 1917), Hannah Schantz (April 1, 1838-August 20, 1841), Christian Schantz (January 20, 1840-?), Tobias Schantz (1842-1925), Abraham K. Schantz (September 20, 1844-?), Benjamin K. Schantz (December 5, 1846), Menno K. Schantz (January 31, 1849-July 6, 1888), Lydia K. Schantz (August 17, 1851-July 16, 1900), Sarah K. Schantz (April 1, 1854-April 10, 1878), and Enoch K. Schantz (October 7, 1856-May 25, 1888).
When Lydia died in 1862, Benjamin remarried his housekeeper, Margaret Swinton. Benjamin and Margaret left Port Elgin, Ontario and settled in Dallas County, Missouri. Correspondence in the collection between Benjamin and his son Tobias recount Benjamin's settler experiences in Dallas County, Missouri.
The Schantz Russell Family Papers centre around Tobias Schantz, his wife Mary Schantz and their descendants, drawing together primary sources relating to several early white settler families of Waterloo County, primarily the Schantz, Moyer/Meyer and Bowman families, and material relating to descendants of the Moyer settlers of Lincoln County, Ontario.

Health IT Now is asking Congress and the Trump administration to examine the role the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology plays in regulating health IT and how that role relates to other regulatory agencies.
Not-for-profit advocacy group Health IT Now wrote in a letter Monday to HHS Secretary Tom Price that the coalition worries that recent ONC actions could raise costs and slow product development by going beyond what the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act allows the ONC to do.
But such review oversteps the ONC's bounds and intrudes on Food and Drug Administration authority, according to Robert James Horne, executive director of Health IT Now and author of the letter. "Subjecting vendors to duplicate regulatory oversight is overly burdensome and should be addressed," he wrote.
The rule is also vague, Health IT Now said, and such ambiguity could stop vendors from bringing their products to the ONC for certification in the first place.
Horne asked the administration to review the ONC certification program in a patient-focused and bipartisan way so the ONC can more effectively support providers' and patients' needs and allow vendors to concentrate on serving their customers rather than on meeting certification requirements.
Health IT Now's members—insurers, providers, patients and others involved in health IT—include Aetna, Johnson & Johnson, McKesson Corp. and the American Health Care Association.


Its All About Family Life!
Minimalism isn't a trend any longer; it's a way of life. If there is one room which needs it the most it's the kitchen. The place where you cook has lots of flaws, the main one being a lack of space. It's a jam in there, literally and figuratively, and this causes a lot of stress. In fact, plenty of homeowners move because the kitchen isn't up to scratch.
Thankfully, minimalism has turned up and solved everything. Well, not everything – you still need to understand the tricks of the trend. Continue reading to learn about the basics of a minimalist kitchen.
Take a look around and count the appliances – what's the total? According to Cooperative Energy, there may be as many as five major ones that are guzzling power. And, that's without the countless others which don't get used for half of the year. Yep, we're talking to you, blender. Smoothie season is over! As well as saving you money, purging devices can free up space for other items. Even if it doesn't seem as though anything will fit, it's better to have the room. Once you play around with the format, the kitchen will fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
Minimalism is about looking the part. Yes, there needs to be less clutter but the kitchen also needs to feel sleeker. One way to do this without restructuring is to paint the cabinets a different shade. In fact, homeowners who value minimalism should only use two to three maximum, and they should also be neutral. The reason is simple: light hues are reflective. Like a mirror, they bounce light around and give off the perception of more space. The ones that are in the same family are especially effective, such as cream, white and eggshell.
Small features make the biggest difference. Some appliances are unnecessarily bulky and take up extra space as a result. Think about the faucets with their knobs, bells, and whistles. It would be far better to install a single tap, and it is possible with touchless technology. With one swipe underneath the nozzle, the water will splash out without any need to press a button. Check out Faucet Assistant for more reviews and advice on the industry standards. Color is also important, so a monochromatic, metallic hue will go down a treat. Remember that minimalism is about modernity as well as clutter.
Not you but your appliances. The kitchen countertop spends too much time as a refuge for homeless devices. Even the ones which get used don't justify their position on the tabletop. The key is to find them a new place to stay, one where they are out of view. A cabinet or drawer would be perfect, but the chances are they are full. So, get creative and put things in the oven when it isn't turned on. After all, it's deep and can hold bulky pots and pans.
Are you a minimalism fan? What are your short and sweet secrets?

Prior to its uniform adoption of proportional representation in 1999, the United Kingdom used first-past-the-post for the European elections in England, Scotland and Wales. The European Parliament constituencies used under that system were smaller than the later regional constituencies and only had one Member of the European Parliament each.

The constituency of London East was one of them.

It consisted of the Westminster Parliament constituencies of Barking, Dagenham, Hornchurch, Ilford North, Ilford South, Newham North East, Romford, Upminster, and Wanstead and Woodford.

We need to address senior poverty
In visiting with people door-to-door, one of the most common grievances I hear is the worry from seniors about increasing difficulty just to make ends meet. Often, seniors worry not only for themselves, but also about the burden they put on other family members. Just before I left for Cancun and a month of worries about climate change followed by Christmas, Joe Friesen reported in the Globe and Mail that senior poverty in Canada had jumped 25% during the economic crisis. The picture he paints is exactly in line with the experiences I hear about. We need to address senior poverty. Working towards the Green Party's visions for valuing seniors and eliminating poverty would be a start.
UPDATE — While the number of seniors who slipped into poverty increased by 25%, it turns out CEOs were making more than ever – more in just a day's worth of work than most Canadians make all year.

Senior poverty? Since when has that issue ever concerned the greens? Up until a few months ago, the greens wanted a Cap&Trade carbon trading market designed to drive up the cost of carbon energy. In other words drive up the cost of everything, and in the process hurting seniors and low income people the most. Now suddenly senior poverty is important. How do you people sleep at night with all of this confusion? Environmentalists are truly environ-mental.
2011 Jan 3 Adriana Mugnatto-Hamu writes:
Hi Klem,
The Greens have always focused on a revenue-neutral carbon price rather than a cap-and-trade scheme to bring down carbon emissions — unlike every other party. The way that taxes would be restructured in order to ensure revenue neutrality ensures that seniors and low-income Canadians would actually benefit overall. That has always been the Green approach.
The global Green movement has always been based on four pillars: social justice, non-violence, environmental wisdom and participatory democracy. There's absolutely nothing new about being concerned about seniors.
Hope this helps, Adriana
2011 Jan 3 Charlie Halpern-Hamu writes:
It's a bit of a mind-twister, but most Canadians use less than the average amount of carbon — so if the revenues on environment-destroying greenhouse gases are returned fairly to everyone, it works out that jets-setters support those of more modest means.

The interaction of a Hertzian contact, including friction, with an angled surface-breaking crack is studied with a view toward qualitatively explaining certain aspects of rolling contact fatigue. Cyclic loading and unloading of the surface crack, which is assumed to be embedded in a rolling wheel, is simulated by assuming that stresses having a Hertzian distribution travel across the half space such that one passage is equivalent to one cycle of rolling. By increasing the crack's length and calculating the stress intensity factor, an estimate of the fatigue life can be determined.

AVM MA 30.3 Mono Amplifier
SKU: MA 30.3-SilverAVM
$3,497.50 each
Select Variant Silver Black
Like all components from the AVM 30.3 series, the MA 30.3 mono power amplifiers are based on a legendary predecessor, the M3. The former M3 Class A / AB mono power amplifiers are still considered to be one of the sonic highlights in amplifier construction - worldwide. It all began in the mid-eighties with developments that eventually led to the M1 and the founding of AVM in 1986. The M3 then replaced the M1 in the early 1990s and was built in various stages of evolution until 2011. To this day, these tonally excellent power amplifiers are the most popular mono power amplifiers from AVM. With the MA 30.3, the 14th generation of the famous AVM power amplifiers is now available - all experiences since 1986 have been incorporated into this evolutionary stage.
The MA 30.3 also have a great legacy in terms of sound. The M3 provided the template for its modern descendant, the MA 30.3. Essential features such as the structure of the MOS-FET output stages around the colossal main transformer have been retained and modern features such as the intelligent remote switch-on have been added. Far-reaching innovations in circuit design from the award-winning large AVM power amplifiers of the OVATION series were also introduced in MA 30.3. These innovations are made possible by the use of the most modern components as they can also be found in our flagships of the power amplifiers, the SA & MA 8.3. All in all, this resulted in new and ultra-modern mono power amplifiers that play at the highest level in terms of sound.
All functions of the MA 30.3 are automated (protective circuit etc.). There are also extensive setting options with which the switch-on modes can be selected (automatic, trigger, permanent on). With the AIR (AVM Intelligent Remote) function, the output stages of current AVM preamplifiers (e.g. PA 30.3, PA 8.3 etc.) can be switched on and off without the need for a separate trigger cable. The required control signal is simply transmitted via the RCA or XLR cable.

THERE are different types of people in the patent "profession" (or domain), ranging from examiners to litigators. There are also different mindsets, ranging from patent rationalists to patent extremists, where the extreme views pertain to patent scope, litigation zeal, and sometimes boil down to fundamental hatred of science and technology (that's what sites such as Watchtroll stand for).
"It's important that — in order to avoid protest if not revolt from the public — patent law should be restricted or confined to public interest."We don't want to generalise and we also recognise that many people read this site because they want to read alternative viewpoints, recognising that Techrights is not against patents but pro-patent reason. It's important that — in order to avoid protest if not revolt from the public — patent law should be restricted or confined to public interest. It should adhere to common sense, economic models, and scientists' interests, not law firms' interests. Lawyers should ideally be there to help the scientists, not just to help themselves. In practice, however, this rarely happens, as we shall explain in our next post (about UPC).
"Lawyers should ideally be there to help the scientists, not just to help themselves."Hogwash from Joanna Rowley (Haseltine Lake, LLP) came just before the weekend, both in their Web site and others (throwing copies elsewhere), titled "World Environment Day – How patents are saving our environment".
They're piggypacking "World Environment Day" for self promotion. Giving people a monopoly on how to improve things actually harms, prevents solutions from being implemented. We wrote this many times before in response to greenwashing of patents by EPO management. There's also the class of patents which pertains to nature and life; those are even more problematic.
EPO insiders are generally aware of the limits of patenting and why these limits are needed. "Stop patents on life," one of them told us the other day, is something we "might be interested in." The insider linked to "Patente auf Leben stoppen!" (in German). We wrote about this subject many times before, since more than a decade ago. So did many patent critics like Kinsella, whose latest episode is titled "Nothing Exempt". Kinsella is one of those former and disgruntled insiders, who nowadays advocates even abolition of so-called 'IP'. He's pretty high-profile a voice and we assume many of our readers are already familiar with his work (we covered that many years ago).
"This was a subject of much/great debate earlier this year when oppositions folks at the EPO denied a CRISPR patent, overturning some prior decisions (by extension at least)."That brings us to some news from Australia's top court. As should be obvious, at the very least based on the "Australia" section of our "Software Patents Around the World" page, we are mostly interested in Australia because of its software patents stance/policy. On few occasions we wrote about Australian patents on life itself, as 'championed' by CSIRO in Australia. This was a subject of much/great debate earlier this year when oppositions folks at the EPO denied a CRISPR patent, overturning some prior decisions (by extension at least). People and firms have begun questioning whether it's even worth pursuing patents on DNA/genetics in Europe anymore.
Pfizer manufactures and supplies the biological medicine Enbrel (etanercept), used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Pfizer brought an application pursuant to rule 7.23 of the Federal Court Rules 2011 for preliminary discovery of certain SB confidential documents that Pfizer believed would enable it to decide whether or not to commence proceedings for patent infringement against SB. The patents in suit concerned processes relating to one of the phases in the development of biological medicines.
On appeal, the Full Court allowed Pfizer's appeal: Pfizer Ireland Pharmaceuticals v Samsung Bioepis AU Pty Ltd  FCAFC 193, holding that preliminary discovery applications are not intended to be mini-trials. The essence of rule 7.23 focuses on what "may" be the position. The foundation of any application is that the prospective applicant reasonably believes that it may have a right to relief; that is, the belief must be reasonable and about something that "may be", not "is", the case.
In practice, to defeat such a claim, it will be necessary either to show that the subjectively held belief does not exist or, if it does, there is no reasonable basis for thinking that there may be such a case. Showing that some aspect of the material on which the belief is based is contestable, or even arguably wrong, will rarely come close to making good such a contention. Many views may be held with which others disagree, but that does not make the views necessarily unreasonably held.
Therefore, the relevant question was not whether one scientific view was more or less persuasive than another but, rather, whether Dr Ibarra's views so lacked foundation that Mr Silvestri's reliance on them did not demonstrate that he reasonably believed that Pfizer may have a right to obtain relief. As Dr Ibarra's views were not criticised as ones that could not reasonably be held by anyone in her position, this question was answered in the negative.
In its special leave application to the High Court, SB argued, inter alia, that the Full Court shifted focus away from an objective assessment of the facts as to whether a reasonable basis was provided for the prospective applicant believing it may have the right to relief to an assessment of the subjective state of mind of the particular deponents who asserted the relevant belief. However, the High Court was not persuaded to grant special leave to appeal.

The Dying to Live Hunger Strike in Wisconsin has gone on for 65 days! Strikers demand an end to indefinite solitary confinement, what the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (WI DOC) calls Administrative Confinement (AC). On June 17 the DOC requested and got approval to force feed the hunger striking prisoners. Cesar DeLeon and LaRon McKinley began refusing food on June 7, and the WI DOC has been force feeding them in retaliation since June 17.
A coalition of supporters led by Milwaukee IWW Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee are mounting a big solidarity demo on Aug 13th and calling for support actions elsewhere. Read about that here.
Today, August 10, hundreds of events across Canada and the world, in solidarity with the Canadian Prisoners' Justice Day, a day of mourning, remembrance, advocacy and protest.
Prisoners' Justice Day is a day set aside to remember all the men and women who have died unnatural deaths inside Canadian prisons. August 10th marks the anniversary of the suicide death of Edward Nalon in a segregation cell in Millhaven Penitentiary on Aug. 10, 1974. History here.
Advocates as well as prisoners themselves have also marked the day to bring much needed attention to issues such as the conditions inside prisoners, the harmful practice of segregation or solitary confinement, the unnatural deaths, lack of access to medication and mental health services, and other justice and rights issues.
The day helps bring a voice to some of the stories of injustice and human rights abuses that occur within the prison system and may otherwise not receive much attention. The day brings critical attention to the fundamental rights of prisoners.
Some of the issues that are advocated for include access to proper heath care, fair legal representation behind prison walls and standing up against the inhumane conditions of solitary cells, often referred to as Special Handling Units.
What started as a one time event behind the walls of Millhaven Prison has become an international day of solidarity. On this day, August 10th, prisoners around the world fast, refuse to work, and remain in their cells while those of us on the outside organize to show our solidarity with those struggling behind the bars, to show that they are not forgotten and to draw attention to the conditions inside prisons.
Prisoners across the US have called for a nationally coordinated work stoppage and protest starting on Sept 9 2016, the 45th anniversary of Attica. The safety of these prisoners and the effectiveness of the protest depend greatly on outside support. There is a robust and expanding outside support network that you or your organization could join to participate in this, the first prisoner protest of its kind.
People throughout the country are mobilizing for the upcoming September 9 strike (work stoppage), from NYC to Durham to Oakland. This week, at Ohio State Penitentiary, Imam Siddique Abdullah Hasan, one of the key spokespeople for the Sep 9 movement, was visited by Ohio State Highway Patrol.
As the grievous loss of Kalief Browder reveals, we must act with urgency to end the devastation of solitary confinement. To that end, the National Religious Campaign Against Torture announces the release of a new NRCAT film, Breaking Down the Box, a 40-minute documentary for communities of faith, to expose the torture of solitary confinement in the context of mass incarceration in the United States.
Breaking Down the Box from NRCAT on Vimeo.
We encourage you to share this new resource in your community during June Torture Awareness Month and throughout the year. Additional promotional and discussion materials are available at www.nrcat.org/breakingdownthebox.
Thank you for your commitment to building a #TortureFreeWorld together.

The fabrication of a full-arch maxillary prosthesis has been associated with several prosthetic complications and difficulties. Even though it has been reported that phonetics, esthetics, and proper lip support are difficult to achieve, there is a scarcity in the literature regarding the clinical and laboratory procedures necessary to minimize these complications. This article provides clinical and laboratory steps that may enable the clinician to achieve more predictable restorative results when using computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM) to fabricate a full-arch maxillary implant-supported prosthesis. The technique presented here describes the use of an implant-retained diagnostic wax-up that is subsequently duplicated to an interim polymethylmethacrylate prosthesis using CAD/CAM before fabricating the definitive restoration.

Henry James joke of the day
They are remaking the Ronnie Barker classic TV serial "Porridge" but starring Mr. Mackay the tough Scottish warder. It will be called The Turn of the Screw.
Sorry I had to bring the goat cheese*
News is a perishable business. Today's stories that seem so important mean nothing a few days later, overtaken by the pressure of events and the dynamics of the news business itself, creating something to broadcast or print so as to have something to sell. But there are some news headlines that simply must be preserved for future generations to enjoy, timeless stories that speak to the heart and provide for us all a beacon that links us in a shared chain [yes, yes, get on with it: Ed].
Anyway, here is one that demands to be given a certain respect. Fresh from the BBC, I give you Norway Goat Cheese Fire Closes Tunnel. It sings out, doesn't it? It invites delighted questioning. Who knew that cheese could burn? What was it doing in the tunnel? Was it all started when a couple of weary hikers unpacked their rucksacks and prepared their evening meal
"Eivind, where are the firelighters? I can't see much inside this tunnel in which we have taken shelter."
"Oh my, Hans, I left them in the fjord"
"Then we must use the goat cheese - but be careful, that stuff is like dynamite"
"Hans, I know what I am doing, jah? Now I'll smear a little here and strike a match...HELP!!!!"

Glimpsed on a train
Mrs. Commuter and I were watching Dan Snow's TV programme on the history of the railways last night. Whilst young Dan enjoyed a steam ride on the north Norfolk railway, two familiar faces popped up amongst his fellow travellers. Mrs. Commuter's brother and sister-in-law, no less. Rather jarring at first, until we recalled that they had holidayed in that area a few months ago. It was only a little cameo scene and we look forward to their next feature.
What's in your burger?
It seems only five minutes ago I was dissecting the full page newspaper ads taken out by Tesco to apologise for a problem with contaminated petrol [actually it was in 2007: Ed] and, blow me, they are at it again. Responding to a news story that will supply material to comics and wits for a long time, the giant supermarket chain has discovered traces of horse in some of its "beef"-burger ranges. The contamination is caused by dodgy practices at the Irish factories where the burgers are made. To those of a certain age, the fate of the kidnapped champion race-horse Shergar must surely spring at once to mind.
I suppose anyone who buys burgers that contain no more than 67% identifiable beef (according to the packaging) should chew away determinedly, swallow hard and think about higher matters than the source of the remaining 33% of their meal. Perhaps a blinkered approach would be helpful, oops, there I go, an easy horse-racing reference slipped in almost without thinking. So here's a nice one from the net - What do you want on your burger? - A fiver each way. And let's not get started on people taken ill with the trots who are now in a stable condition. Or any references to fast food.
150 up
The Met is celebrating its 150th anniversary. Passenger services on the world's first underground railway system began on 10th January 1863, in the smoke-filled cut-and-cover tunnels dug mainly by hand between Farringdon and Paddington. And today your correspondent rode that very line (well most of it anyway) in a train decorated to fit the occasion. Alas the photo I attempted to take on alighting at Farringdon is not worth reproducing as the train was already moving out at speed and my phone isn't up to that sort of challenge. But there are plenty of examples on the net, such as this video of that same train on Youtube, so no need for another one here. As usual, thanks to District Dave for providing the link.
I began riding the Met regularly as a schoolboy in 1962, so can claim to be have been a commuter for more than one-third of the entire lifetime of this railway line. As soon as I can think of a suitable livery to don to celebrate this remarkable achievement, I shall do so.
Labels: The Tube
Ruislip obliterated
The Guardian has published a series of articles to mark the 150th anniversary of the first services running on the tube. One of their reporters, the intrepid Stephen Moss, undertook to travel the entire length of the Central Line. He gets points for starting at Ongar and taking the privately run train to North Weald and then bus to the terminus at Epping. And more points for treating the branch to Ealing as of lesser importance than the bit that goes out to our part of the country. He "felt the lure of West Ruislip at the end of the line" and went on (and all this is going in into our dossier, you know) " What is it about Ruislip that makes it a national joke?" and then the inevitable reference to Leslie Thomas' Tropic of Ruislip. [A comic novel published in 1974: Ed] He made it safely to West Ruislip and this seems to have caused him no little distress and bewilderment. He emerged, in the dark, onto the flyover that crosses the mainline that continues up to High Wycombe and beyond, and saw nothing of note. He asked someone if there was a town there and was, quite wrongly and perhaps maliciously, pointed toward Ickenham. He then concluded, unbelievably, that despite having three stations named after it, Ruislip did not exist and ended his journey in a pub not far from the station. He didn't even make it into central Ickenham where he might have admired the well and the fish bar.
Oh dear. Where to start. [Control yourself. Take one of your pills: Ed] I'm sorry Mr. Moss went the wrong way and entirely missed Ruislip. I'm not impressed that he did not twig that the two Metropolitan line stations (that he does not mention) might just possibly be where Ruislip town is centred. I'm even less impressed that he did not bother to look at a map which should have shown him, in no uncertain terms, that Ruislip does indeed have a town centre and it is anchored on its medieval roots with the ancient church, almshouses, 16th century pubs and the Great Barn, built in the 13th century and one of the finest examples of its kind in Middlesex.
So do come back Mossy. Take the real railway, the Met, next time. Emerge at the classic late-Victorian station of Ruislip (not West, not South, just unadorned Ruislip). Stroll up the High Street. Enjoy a drink or meal in one of the many bars, pubs, cafes, bistros and restaurants that line it. Wander round the Manor Farm estate, where there is a real village green and pond, a Norman motte-and-bailey mound and the meadows through which the River Pinn runs on its timeless course to the sea [er, junction with the Colne actually: Ed]
Oh and the sex-obsessed suburban couples that Mr. Thomas chose to populate his book? They're here all right, nudge nudge, know what I mean squire? please excuse shaky typing, arf arf.


Twenty-five young scientists from MU, BUT and MENDELU received financing for their research activity at the Brno PhD Talent competition. Representatives of the City of Brno and JCMM awarded the best doctoral students from Brno universities. Each of them received support of 300 thousand CZK for their research. This amount is going to be paid on a regular basis for three years in the form of scholarships. The awards were officially announced on Tuesday, February 13, 2018, at the Brno City Hall. Nine of them are directly linked to CEITEC.
