CNN Live Saturday
Good to see both of you.
JULIANNE MALVEAUX, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: Hi Fredricka.
DAVID SILVERSTEIN, FOUNDATION OF THE DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACIES: Nice to be with you.
WHITFIELD: Well, I always like to begin with ladies first, so Julian, let me begin with you. You see this as hypocritical, that the U.S. would be asking for about 15,000 troops in terms of international help and now particularly, pointedly, toward Muslim nations, such as Turkey and perhaps even Pakistan. Why do you see this as a hypocritical move?
MALVEAUX: Well, eight months ago the United States was calling the United Nations "irrelevant," as Sheila MacVicar reported. We have still wanted to be in charge, even though we've asked for United Nations' involvement, we've asked for it on our terms, we want international troops, but want them under U.S. command and that doesn't make any sense. The whole purpose of United Nations is to develop something collaborative. I think many of us do agree, whatever has happened in Iraq to date, this is a world issue and a problem, but then there has to be world solutions. The United States cannot insist on being in charge.
WHITFIELD: Well, David, you see nothing wrong with this at all — that the U.S. would be asking for U.N. help.
SILVERSTEIN: Right. Absolutely. Actually, I don't think it's hypocritical at all, I think it's entirely consistent. You know, prior to the war in Iraq, United States went to the United Nations on 17 occasions, and on 17 occasions won various resolutions that supported American interests and requirements for Saddam Hussein. Those were all, of course, unanimously agreed to by the Security Council in 17th, and final resolution allowing for war. When the United States decided that it needed to go further, and the French and the Germans and a few other the Europeans, noticeably, not the British, they were on our side. And, when
WHITFIELD: Well, let's talk about…
SILVERSTEIN: Hang on a second. When they didn't want to come forward and supply troops. That is when we declared the United Nations, simply not relevant, and that's when we pursued the full liberation of the Iraqi people, quite successfully.
WHITFIELD: Well, let's now talk about…
MALVEAUX: What's the difference? We never found the weapons of mass destruction that were not there.
SILVERSTEIN: I'm afraid that's a red herring.
MALVEAUX: The weapons of mass distraction were not there and that's when we asserted that those weapons where there.
SILVERSTEIN: That's a complete distraction to the — come on.
MALVEAUX: We asserted they were there. They have never been shown to be there. And the United Nations…
SILVERSTEIN: It has nothing to do with foreign troops, Julianne, you know that.
MALVEAUX: …had every right to ask for…
WHITFIELD: Well, let's now talk about the obstacles that are before the U.S., as well as the U.N. Some U.N. members are saying — we don't want the U.S. to be in total control, they need to relinquish something. There has to be some compromise. However, we just heard from Secretary Powell, who says, if there's going to be a relinquishing of power, it's going to be a transition from U.S. control to Iraqi control. David, is that a compromise?
SILVERSTEIN: Well, no it's — not only is it not a compromise, again, it's entirely consistent. I think there's absolutely no reason to suggest that U.S. troops should be under the command of some blue helmet from Nigeria or Fiji or any place else around the world. In particular, they should not be under the command of the French and the Germans who fought the very resolution that the United States tried so hard to bring about to bring peace and liberation and stability to Iraq.
WHITFIELD: Well, Julianne, why should the U.S. be in a position to continue to call the shots?
SILVERSTEIN: The point…
MALVEAUX: Well, they shouldn't be, I mean, David is absolutely wrong, here. The derision with which he talks about a "blue helmet" from Nigeria, then why should Nigerians or people from Fiji or Turkey or anywhere else, risk their troop's lives? Why should they send their young people? Well, what they're doing, in a sense, is they're becoming an auxiliary…
SILVERSTEIN: Because, what we're doing is the right thing, Julianne.
MALVEAUX: Just a minute, David. Because they're becoming an auxiliary of the United States
SILVERSTEIN: We just shouldn't be under their command structure, that's all.
MALVEAUX: I think they're absolutely — this is the problem with our engagement with the United Nations, that we think we can look down on the rest of the world. A "blue helmet" there Nigeria? You're asking that "blue helmet" to fight! How dare you?
SILVERSTEIN: Any — any institution hat had Iraq in charge of the International Disarmament Committee has Syria on the Security Council and has Libya in charge of the Human Rights Commission, does not deserve the full serious attention of the United States when We've talking about putting U.S. troops…
MALVEAUX: This is jingoism
SILVERSTEIN: U.S. troops under command of forces that we cannot trust…
MALVEAUX: This isn't even nationalism, David, it's jingoism. It is narrow.
SILVERSTEIN: …to help provide for our…
MALVEAUX: It is so narrow-minded. The why are we asking?
WHITFIELD: And, David, we are trying…
MALVEAUX: Then why are we asking for their help?
WHITFIELD: When we talk about — and, David when we talk about the U.S. asking, soliciting, the help from these other nations…
SILVERSTEIN: Sure.
WHITFIELD: There is this realization on average now, 15 U.S. troops are being attacked a day. So, there has to be some sort of negotiating, I would imagine, that the U.S. would have to do in order to convince many of these other countries to take such a grave risk.
SILVERSTEIN: Well, actually, that is not exactly right. I mean, there are 30-some countries that are helping the United States, certain — Britain, Spain, and so on, in operations in Iraq, right now, the Australians, of course noticeably. But beyond that, the fact is — is that there are a whole host of other nations that would be willing to provide troops. They just want to see the kind of resolution that they would prefer, whether we're going to have U.S. troops in that resolution under U.N. command, I think, is simply not going to be the case. There's absolutely no reason to suggest
WHITFIELD: All right…
SILVERSTEIN: That U.S. troops…
MALVEAUX: There has to be…
WHITFIELD: We only got a few more seconds left, I'm going to let Julian get the last word.
Do you see any turning back or any negotiating that the U.S. can do at this juncture?
MALVEAUX: I think that Secretary Powell has made it difficult, but if we want multi-national troops, we're going to have to have a multi-national and international command, and if we're not prepared to do that, we can continue to expect…
SILVERSTEIN: We have a multi-national force right now and we have no U.N. in command.
MALVEAUX: The world resistance that we're expecting, right now.
SILVERSTEIN: People hostile to U.S. should not command U.S. troops.
MALVEAUX: But, if you want France and you want Germany, if you want the other people involved, you have to share power. The United States cannot in charge of the world. That's why we have a United Nations…
WHITFIELD: All right, it's getting to the point we can't understand either one, because you're both talking on top of one another.
MALVEAUX: Exactly.
WHITFIELD: Thanks very much.
MALVEAUX: No courtesy from my colleague, here.
WHITFIELD: Appreciate it, Julian Malveaux and David Silverstein.
MALVEAUX: Thank you, Fredricka.
WHITFIELD: Thanks to both of you for joining us, this afternoon.
SILVERSTEIN: You're welcome.

'Register, register, register!': political activity in October
Posted on October 12, 2012	by salmonphilip
In modern politics the month of October is usually dominated by coverage of the major party conferences. In Victorian times, it was the stand-off between the political parties in the voter registration courts, famously immortalised by Peel's call to 'register, register, register', that captured the attention of the nation's press every October. This annual legal battle between the parties to enlist as many of their supporters as possible, and disqualify as many of their known opponents from the rolls, was a crucial component of the Victorian political system. It kept local party activists and election agents on their toes in the lulls between general elections, and in some constituencies ensured that when an election was held, the result was a foregone conclusion, since one party had gained a clear majority on the registers.
Party registration battles were possible because of the peculiar nature of the Victorian polling and registration system. Before 1872 there was no secrecy attached to voting – the way every elector polled was public knowledge and their party preference at the last election widely known. Coupled with this, only a minority of the (male) population qualified for the various franchises then on offer. As well as having to meet all sorts of stringent property and residence requirements, voters had to have settled their local rates on time and to have paid a one shilling registration fee. They also needed to be able to prove their entitlement before a revising barrister if any objection was raised against their name, coming to the registration court armed with all the necessary documents.
Significantly, objections could be raised by any elector. This process was supposed to keep the registers 'pure' and remove all those who were not fully qualified. Assisted by local solicitors, however, party activists soon began using the system to object to as many of their political opponents as possible, in the hope of knocking them off the registers. The number of these partisan objections could often reach into the thousands. In the West Riding, for instance, 7,000 (two-fifths of the electorate) were objected to by the parties at the 1835 revision. Local parties also helped to defend the qualifications of all their known supporters and tried to enlist as many new recruits as possible, on occasion even assisting with their rate payments. Those unlucky enough to be a 'floating voter' could find themselves objected to by both parties and forced into an arduous legal battle over their voting entitlement.
The constituency articles being written for the 1832-68 project bear ample testimony to the importance of the annual registration process, both for party performance and individual voters. (For details of how to access our draft articles, click here.) The courts themselves were sometimes crowded to suffocation, with the cases of local personalities providing intense drama for the assembled inhabitants. Exposure of sloppy work by the local officials responsible for drafting the initial lists added another attraction. Passions often ran high and it was not uncommon for proceedings to become extremely noisy, with hooting from the galleries and even the occasional missile. Revising barristers were not above playing to the crowd either. When a Bedford hairdresser was removed from the register after moving to a cheaper house in 1838, for instance, he was ordered to be 'shaved off the poll (laughter)'.
October was therefore the month in which a rather different kind of intense partisan activity took place during the Victorian era, but one which like the party conferences of today, could play a significant role in determining electoral fortunes.

Watford's players appear to have downed tools since getting to 40 points and are likely to be swept aside by Leicester at the King Power.
There was a concern that Leicester's performances would drop off after their Champions League exit but Craig Shakespeare's side were committed and well-organised in last Saturday's 1-0 victory at West Brom.
The Foxes have been playing with plenty of energy in recent home fixtures and Watford do not look in the mood to match them.
Wes Morgan (hamstring) is unavailable and Nampalys Mendy (ankle) will not feature again this season.
Jose Holebas (foot) is a doubt and Miguel Britos (muscle strain) has joined Younes Kaboul (hamstring), Roberto Pereyra, Craig Cathcart and Mauro Zarate (all knee) on the sidelines.
Watford have lost their last four away games without scoring a goal.

Inside the Xbox 360
By Peter Cohen
Consoles are setting the pace for video- and computer-game development, and the Xbox 360 is the first in a new series of next-generation video game systems that we'll be hearing more about in the next week.
The public unveiling of the new Xbox 360 last night trumps announcements expected next week from Microsoft rivals Sony and Nintendo--both companies are expected to provide information about their new systems at next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.
The Xbox 360 is clad in a sleek white and chrome design that can rest horizontally or vertically. Equipped with wireless game pads, the new Xbox is a far cry from the clunky plastic hell and tangled mess of wires that was the original Xbox. It's about one quarter to a third smaller than the existing unit, so it takes up less space in your home entertainment rack and your carrying bag (if you haul your Xbox to gaming parties).
The Xbox 360 features 512MB GDDR3 RAM, eight times as much as its predecessor. More RAM equals sharper visuals, cleaner textures, and more detailed game environments. The Xbox 360 will be able to render massive environments loaded with an eye-popping level of detail. This is good news especially for gamers who prefer to do their gaming on high-definition TVs--Microsoft notes the new console will be able to support all standard and HDTV modes, with multiple levels of anti-aliasing--a technique which softens the sharp edges of polygons to create a more natural look. (Here's what else Microsoft has to say about the Xbox 360.)
Looking further into the guts of the box, the Xbox 360 features a 500-MHz graphics chip developed by ATI, the same company that makes graphics hardware for leading PC manufacturers, including Apple. The chip features 48 pixel shader pipelines--enough to produce dazzling special effects that we haven't yet seen on consoles or PCs.
At the core of the Xbox 360 is a set of three symmetrical IBM PowerPC processor cores, each running at 3.2 GHz. That's a faster clock speed than the fastest Mac, and it significantly outpaces the single 733-MHz Intel processor that graces the original Xbox. That brute-force CPU power will come in handy as Xbox game developers boost polygon counts in characters and create even more realistic looking environments for their games.
Good news for home-entertainment buffs who double up their video-game system as their home DVD player, too: Xbox 360 works out of the box as a DVD player; you don't have to buy any extra hardware to get it to work like you do with the current model. Progressive scan is now supported for smoother and sharper DVD playback. And the console touts a 20GB integrated hard disk drive that's detachable and upgradable if necessary.
As far as we know, Xbox 360 games will ship on standard and dual-layer DVDs, unlike Sony's PS3, which will use high-density Blu-ray DVDs. Recent speculation suggests that Xbox 360 may be outfitted with HD-DVD instead, but Microsoft won't comment.
Online gameplay is central to the new Xbox, and there's an Xbox Live-enabled toggle button placed dead-center on the controller. The new console also features built-in Ethernet and support for the 802.11a, b, and g variants of Wi-Fi wireless networking (802.11g is what Apple uses in its AirPort Extreme cards).
Microsoft hasn't made many changes from the Controller S that's standard issue on the Xbox now; the wireless controllers are about the same size. Players will also have the option of using the Xbox 360's USB port. And as an added bonus, PC players will be able to use the Xbox 360 controllers, too.
Future Is Soon
There are still some unanswered questions, the biggest being, does the Xbox 360 support backward compatibility? Microsoft has been quiet on the subject, and that's not a good sign. We'll hopefully know for sure at E3.
So why wouldn't the Xbox 360 be able to play original Xbox games? Legal squabbles or time shortages could be the issue, but the biggest barrier may end up being purely technical: the differences in the proprietary rendering technology used on NVidia's Xbox graphical techniques and rival ATI's Xbox 360 graphics techniques are different enough to potentially cause problems.
From a technological standpoint, the Xbox 360 is best described as absurdly powerful. Sony and Nintendo have a bitterly long row to hoe if they plan on one-upping this technological titan. But in the end, all the technology in the world won't save you if you don't have great games to back you up; Microsoft's biggest challenge will be roping in top-tier publishers (such as Rockstar and BioWare) and providing amazing Xbox 360-only games. It's already at a good start, considering Microsoft's recent deals to work with Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and Tetsuya Mizuguchi.

I believe everyone goes through it every once in a while. The past few days, it's been me.
I've been in a bit of a funk.
It's weird. Nothing is 'wrong'. Most things are, well--right, actually. I feel close to the Lord, to my kids and my husband, we have everything we could possibly need, we are healthy...the list could go on.
Even if you are not a Christian, stick with me here for a moment.
I am doing the study of Esther, and we were discussing how Esther's circumstances of being an orphan had radically affected her life. Beth had done an internet survey, inviting women of all walks of life to talk about some of their situations, and she was reading one of the ladies' survey questions aloud.
One of them went something like this: I feel like the jobs I am doing every day at home as a wife/mother don't matter--and at the same time, I feel guilty for wishing for significance, recognition, and importance.
Beth talked about the things that that mother probably did daily: wiped snot, cleaned up toys or throw up or toys or dirty dishes or toys, broke up arguments, fed others numerous meals (oh, and cleaned up after each one, too) and got up sometimes countless times a night to deal with who-knows-what. Things that don't seem at all like they make a difference--let alone are glamorous.
Until, one day, tragedy strikes; and, out of the blue--that mother is gone.
Boy, are those 'insignificant' things that she did awfully noticeable now, once she is not there to do them on a daily basis.
That hit me so hard, but not in the way you might think. I realized not that I am searching for something more glamorous, or important, or significant, but that I am not seeing the joy and significance already present in my everyday life. I am not seeing what I do as purposeful in anyone's eyes--and I'm missing opportunities because of it. She was able to phrase things in such a way to bring me around to seeing what the problem was.
I get up. I feed them. I clean up. I eat (maybe). I do chores. I play with them. I clean up again. I feed them again. I read to them. I work while they sleep. I help with homework. I feed them again. I clean up again. I clean them up. I read to them. I tuck them in. I go to sleep.
Then, I do it all over again the next day. And the next. And the next.
But here's the deeper reality: I've cared for every single need they have ever had since the day they were born.
And, to find true joy, I need to choose to stop looking at these things as chores--and start viewing the mundane as the biggest things anyone will ever do for them in this life. Ever.
Being everything to them for now, while pointing them to the True Everything who will take their lives and do with it only what a loving, all-knowing, all-gracious God can.
Seeing the little things as opportunities.
Like when your child says "I want to give some of my acorns back to the squirrels, Mommy....so they won't be hungry."
An opportunity to discuss loving others; giving; unselfishness; putting others before yourself; kindness.
Or when he asks you before putting each leaf into his bucket "Do you think this is a good one Mommy?" You say "Yes" over and over and watch him put the leaves in the bucket; then decide to test him on one by saying, "No...." and you watch as he puts it back on the ground.
An opportunity to realize just how much your opinion of things really means to him.
We had a wonderful walk together and made wonderful memories.
I will treasure our day yesterday forever.
And now, I'm off to go find something amazing in my day. It'll be there. Guaranteed.
I know just what you mean. It's the same thing even without kids. It's the daily stuff that can really drag you down. It never fails to tempt me to discouragement when the dishes are done, but oops! Here's another glass. There are some things that just don't ever get done. But it's a ministry of service - whether to your kids or your husband, or your church family, etc. It's easy to get weary in well doing, but the Lord always lifts us up & lets us see the beauty all along the path of duty - if we let Him. Thanks for the great reminder!
You hit the nail girl! I have been walking that lately myself! Love you friend!


When using the EIGRP Stub Routing feature, you need to configure the distribution and remote routers to use EIGRP, and to configure only the remote router as a stub. Only specified routes are propagated from the remote (stub) router. The router responds to queries for summaries, connected routes, redistributed static routes, external routes, and internal routes with the message "inaccessible." A router that is configured as a stub will send a special peer information packet to all neighboring routers to report its status as a stub router. Any neighbor that receives a packet informing it of the stub status will not query the stub router for any routes, and a router that has a stub peer will not query that peer. The stub router will depend on the distribution router to send the proper updates to all peers.

Building a strong brand is quite possibly the most quintessential piece of starting a new business. Your brand is far more than a logo, typography, and color scheme. It is your business's personality and value, the purest form of your existence. A good brand leads everything a business does. Think of yourself as a brand. What makes you, you? What stops you from doing something? Why are you unique? These are all questions that should be answered with a brand.
I'm guilty of jumping into the market without really honing into who Tipsy was and what I wanted. The brand changed four times within the first year. Each time I thought I fully understood the business something would change. I learned a lot building the brand and finding who we were, and for the most part, it was a really fun experience. The hardest part came after we found ourselves. Now we needed people to recognize us, learn who we were and what we stood for, and to build our clientele.
Building brand awareness had to be one of the most stressful, scary, fun, exciting, and fulfilling processes ever. Now, I'm not saying we're done. You can't really ever be finished with building brand awareness, but we've made some great strides and I think sharing what I learned could help a ton of people out there. For what it's worth, here are our five rules to gaining brand awareness.
Keeping things small and intimate in the beginning is key. Firstly, it's less stressful. When you can speak one-on-one with someone about the company and its brand, you can discuss it in-depth, answer questions, and learn from those answers. We answered a lot of questions about ourselves that we really didn't know the answers to. Doing that though helped us find those answers and develop ourselves even more.
Secondly, building a brand isn't cheap. The bigger you go, the more money you spend. Doing small advertisements online or in print, low-level sponsoring, and coming up with your own ways to get yourself out there will save you money. We wasted a ton of money, in the beginning, trying to build our brand only to change the concept two months later.
Think outside of the box. When you're a new business, going to professional mixers might not be the best idea. We did it and realized that either no one took us seriously or our big competitors were there dominating the event. Find things that will make your brand shine. For example, we found an opportunity to sponsor a fundraiser for less than $100, and we were the only sponsor. We got our name in huge letters all over the event and even had a speaking opportunity during it. Plus, we got to talk with the Mayor of Albany, Kathy Sheehan, about our business.
This one is huge! We primarily built our brand off donating our services to businesses, non-profits, schools, and fundraisers. Yes, it costs you time, but for the most part, it doesn't cost that much money. The return on investment though is huge. Our recent website donation to Orange Street Cats was shared on Facebook over 150 times and reached nearly 25K people. You get brand awareness, they get a new product, and you have another item to add to your portfolio. It's a win-win.
Everything is an opportunity to get your business out there! I talk about Tipsy Social with everyone. If I'm out to dinner, I'll mention it to the server or bartender. When I meet new friends, I'll talk about what I do and encourage them to check us out on social media. Making these connections gives a face to the brand and also shows how much you believe in it. I sent a thank you letter to Treatie Beatie Cake Shop after they made a cake for my engagement party. I mentioned that if they ever needed anything they could contact us. A week later we were designing product brochures for them. A small connection turned into a client, and that client turned into a brand advocate.
Don't let stress and fear beat you. I made sure that we did things that were fun, but also gave us the opportunity to grow our fan base. Small things like going to Nine Pin for a cider tasting or buying tickets to a fundraiser like A Taste of Albany. These were all great experiences and an awesome way to meet new people and talk about Tipsy Social. Building a brand doesn't have to be boring. The best part? It gets you out there and gives you the ability to talk about your passion. Your enthusiasm about your work is what gets people interested and excited.

One of my favorite parts of holiday displays at Target are the Jet-Puffed marshmallows. Kraft seems to have a new edition for every holiday and these Jumbo PumpkinMallows are one of my favorites!
Being a nut-free snack, we always grab a bag to snack on or to bake yummy treats with. We've been snacking on this bag all week! Check out the Spook tacular Brownie Pumpkin Patch that we made last year.
Last night, we were invited to a friends house for a game night. Since we already had dinner planned, we opted for desserts and snacks to be served. I remembered this big bag of PumpkinMallows and it spawned on me to make some marshmallow treats!
We didnt' have rice crispies on hand so I twisted it up a little with some honey nut cheerios. My child is not allergic to almonds, if you have an almond allergy then another variety of cheerios would work just as well.
Everyone loved our fun Halloween treats, the kids thought that they looked like little monster eyes. Honey Nut Cheerio Marshmallow Halloween treats are fun for all!

Red wants Liz to kill him in the season finale, but she is apprehensive. Liz, however, is shot in the back by a gunman who is eventually murdered by Red.
Boone announced her departure on Instagram, writing, "As her narrative concludes, I am most grateful for the individuals I shared this time with my fellow cast members past and present, our great staff who carried each and every day for everyone involved, and those of you we entertained."
Spader, Diego Klattenhoff, and Harry Lennix are the only original cast members remaining on the show following Boone's departure.
Spader has no intention of leaving The Blacklist, which has been renewed for a ninth season and will return in the fall without its female star.

Expanding upon programming launched this fall, the center is collaborating with the IU Arts and Humanities Council to deliver cinema screenings, theater and musical performances, exhibits, creative writing workshops, and artists-in-residence programs in partnership with local artists and residents. These events are part of larger community plans to increase local access to arts and cultural opportunities.
A news release about the arts and cultural offerings is online.


The National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) recently partnered with the Rx Abuse Leadership Initiative (RALI), a dynamic alliance of organizations dedicated to finding solutions to the opioid crisis plaguing our communities nationwide. RALI interviewed NSA Executive Director, Jonathan Thompson, to learn more. NSA represents 20,000 members, including more than 3,000 locally elected Sheriffs.
Question (RALI): What has NSA been working on to combat the opioid epidemic?
Answer (Jonathan Thompson, NSA): Sheriffs are addressing the issue with a multi-layered, multi-dimensional approach, and NSA's partnership with RALI is our most recent effort.
We are working with our members to ensure continuous education about opioid misuse. NSA has published several fact sheets on fighting opioid abuse and Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) in correctional settings. We have worked with a Federal Interagency Working Group, coordinated by the National Security Council, to develop a new training video, Fentanyl: The Real Deal, on the dangers of fentanyl. We also want to ensure our Sheriffs and deputies are themselves knowledgeable about the dangers of opioid abuse. We recently published a resource on MAT in corrections, since Sheriffs' offices operate most of the jails in the United States.
Through a grant program from Purdue Pharma LP, NSA developed a program by which law enforcement agencies and jails could obtain free Narcan kits. This provided our first responders with critical opioid reversal treatments when they encountered an individual who overdosed.
NSA is constantly involved in conversations, roundtables, and summits on the issue at the federal and state level. For example, NSA held a panel discussion on the opioid crisis during our 2017 Annual Education and Technology Expo in Reno, Nevada. This was an important opportunity to further educate Sheriffs and deputies on opioid abuse. Further, NSA has held events in two states with high rates of opioid abuse: Ohio and Michigan. NSA brought together stakeholders from many sectors including law enforcement, education, healthcare, private sector and government agencies. The events highlighted the challenges and the success stories in combatting the epidemic. More work needs to be done, and NSA challenged attendees to report their action steps following these events.
NSA also held a national forum, bringing together national government officials and national and state experts. The event was held in Washington, D.C and had representatives of government agencies, law enforcement, faith-based groups, first responders and other non-profits. Featured speakers included White Counselor Kellyanne Conway; then Attorney General Jeff Sessions; Kirstjen Nielsen, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security; Anne Hazlett, Assistant Secretary for Rural Development in the Department of Agriculture; and Jason Botel, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The roundtable resulted in several critical recommendations to combat the opioid crisis.
Q: What's the thinking behind this new partnership?
A: The opioid crisis has now grown to such proportions that it is more than just a law enforcement problem, prevention, or treatment problem. It will take all of us, truly an all-of-the-above approach, to make a difference, and we are always looking for public-private partnerships that can help. Partnering with PhRMA, an industry partner dedicated to fighting opioid abuse, was a natural fit for NSA. We know we need to work with all stakeholders, from federal agencies to community-based organizations to industry, because the opioid epidemic is complicated and constantly threatens our members, communities and families.
RALI takes the opioid crisis as seriously as we do. In establishing this partnership with RALI, we knew we had identified a partner working to end the epidemic, just as our Sheriffs and deputies do every single day.
RALI is a diverse coalition of national, state, and local organizations. All stakeholders are working together to prevent opioid abuse. RALI unites communities and stakeholders, from law enforcement to nursing associations to anti-drug coalitions. Most importantly, RALI focuses on saving lives by collaborating with partner organizations. We have seen countless numbers of citizens fall to the opioid epidemic and this organized, comprehensive approach is critical.
Q: Is your partnership with RALI geographically focused?
A: NSA works with RALI in all states in which the coalition is currently active, including Indiana, Maryland, Nevada and New Hampshire. As RALI becomes active in more states, we will continue to work together through our Sheriffs and in partnership with state associations.
Q: What will the partnership with NSA and RALI focus on?
A: Sheriffs want to identify the best programs, and many of our members are leading innovative efforts to address the opioid crisis in their communities. We knew that there was a need to identify and share those ideas so that we can identify best practices to help others. To do this, a third-party researcher will be conducting in-depth interviews with Sheriffs from some of the hardest-hit counties in America on the ways law enforcement and their communities are fighting the opioid epidemic. The research firm will also survey Sheriffs from across the country to understand lessons learned from the programs that have worked and those that have not.
Upon the completion of the research project, NSA will work with RALI to share those ideas with other stakeholders so that we reach more communities, families, and individuals facing substance use disorders with resources and support that work. Through our efforts, combined with the support of RALI, NSA is looking forward to stopping the opioid epidemic in its tracks.

As the general population ages, the need for home care for the elderly has grown with it. In some cases Medicaid may cover the services provided.
As people age, it becomes more difficult for them to live alone. However, given the choice, most people prefer to stay in their own home if at all possible. Elderly people want to surround themselves with memories and with the familiarity of their own belongings and routines. Staying in their own home with the help of a home care agency gives them a sense of independence.
Problems arise when elderly individuals are no longer able to safely live on their own, but are healthy enough to be home rather than in a nursing facility. For example, during the early stages of dementia, which, for example, includes poor memory, a kitchen fire or other home accident could occur. Despite this risk, with supervision from an in-home attendant, an elderly person with these concerns can live a more satisfying life safely at home. Such situations are stressful for the entire family, as the need for a caregiver becomes evident.
The role of caregiver can be overwhelming, but you do have options for home care that can make the transition easier on everyone involved. Employing the services of a part-time professional caregiver can ease the stress on a family caregiver by providing time to take care of errands like grocery shopping, as well as providing a mental reprieve from the demands that caregiving inevitably places on a relationship. Even an hour away to have lunch with friends can make a big difference.
At Your Side Home Care can help your family by providing many different levels of home care assistance to your aging loved one. Call 832-271-1600 today for more information.

Reza Jafari
Reza Jafari is a faculty member of physics complex systems at the Shahid Beheshti University. He started his collaboration with DNDS in the winter of 2016. His research interests are collective behavior and crises in financial and social science, complex networks dynamics, fractional calculus and its application in networks when memory influences the dynamics. Recently he has used fractional calculus to introduce aged networks. Indeed, age is the same as other properties of links such as weight and direction, and it can be considered a new property for a link. Evolution of social networks happens simultaneously with the variation of their links/nodes. However, sometimes it is not easy for some links/nodes to evolve in such a process because of their age. In real networks, some links/nodes can exist that are not happy with any variations. Understanding stability, aged phase transition, information transformation of social networks are some of the challenges of this project. Some other recent projects can be found on his page in ResearchGate (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/G_Jafari).

Cristian Candia
Hi! I'm Cristian Candia-Castro-Vallejos. I'm a Chilean physicist who also did a physics engineering program at the University of Concepcion. There, I worked on experimental physics at the center for optics and photonics. When I was in my master in physics, and also was teaching some physics classes at the University of Concepcion and University of Bio Bio, I realized that I needed to explore something else, something outside of the physics labs, so I changed my focus and I started to study econophysics. That was my entrance to the social science world.
After finishing my master, I moved to the University of Desarrollo in Santiago and I got enrolled to the Center for Social Complexity, I got my master in social complexity science, then I moved to the MIT media lab for a year to work on my P.hD. thesis, then I moved for six months to the Barabasi lab, to continue working on my thesis. Now, I'm finishing my Ph.D. at the Department of Network and Data Science at CEU.
My interests are related to analytic studies on collective memory; knowledge diffusion; decision making, learning, and bullying in the education systems; evolutionary psychology; economic complexity, reality mining; science of success; collective learning; data science; social dynamics; and applied networks. Besides, I'm very interested in basketball, sailing, football, dancing, and singing (I had a band attempt and surprisingly I was the singer).

I am a PhD student in Complex Systems at Aalto University, Finland. I have a mixed background of Physics and Computer Science: I did my Bachelor's studies at Shahid Beheshti University in Iran, where I got interested in network science and then moved to Finland to do a Master's degree in Complex Systems in the Computer Science Department of Aalto University.
I am interested in applying network science and mathematical methods to study the behavior of people and societies. My Master's thesis uses mobile-phone datasets to investigate persistent features of ego-networks both in time and across different channels of communication.

She received her Master Degree in Theoretical Physics from the University of Turin, developing her thesis at the Statistical Physics group of the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste. She held a Master of Arts in Economics and Complexity at Collegio Carlo Alberto, where she studied both standard economic theories and advanced computational techniques, commonly used in complex-system analysis.
In her PhD thesis, she investigates how methodologies as agent-based modelling, network analysis and machine learning are becoming more and more necessary to describe the current economic systems. In particular, her research focuses on two different systems: retail electricity market and scientific research.

The Master is organized in four semesters in different academic institutions: Sissa and ICTP in Trieste, Politecnico in Turin and a consortium of universities in Paris (Sorbonne, Paris VII, Paris Saclay). Ludovico has recently lost some interest in pure theoretical physics and he is now getting fascinated by the application of the quantitative tools commonly used in physics to the study of complex social and economic phenomena, and for this reason, he has come to DNDS to work on his Master's thesis. Among other things, he loves sports (especially rowing, football, sailing, and snowboarding) and music (he plays the piano and the guitar). Since then, Ludovico has got admitted to DNDS to the cohort starting 2019-20.
Judit Varga
Judit is a PhD student in Science, Society and Technology Studies at the University of Nottingham (UK). She has a background in the behavioural and social sciences. Judit's thesis investigates how the knowledge created through the analysis of georeferenced social media data (such as geotagged Tweets and Instagram posts) is situated in the history of human geography. It combines participant observation and bibliometric network analysis to gain a picture of how human geography researchers advocate for and against the use of such data. During her visit at DNDS, Judit aims to explore how she can apply network science methods in her project.

Electric Field and Potential Due to Conductor
Electrostatic shielding
Whatever be the charge and field configuration outside, any cavity in a conductor remains shielded from outside electric influence: the field inside the cavity is always zero. This is known as electrostatic shielding.
Electrostatic field is zero inside a conductor
Consider a conductor, neutral or charged. There may also be an external electrostatic field.
In the static situation, when there is no current inside or on the surface of the conductor, the electric field is zero everywhere inside the conductor. This fact can be taken as the defining property of a conductor.
A conductor has free electrons. As long as electric field is not zero, the free charge carriers would experience force and drift. In the static situation, the free charges have so distributed themselves that the electric field is zero everywhere inside. Electrostatic field is zero inside a conductor.
At the surface of a charged conductor, electrostatic field must be normal to the surface at every point
If E were not normal to the surface, it would have some non-zero component along the surface. Free charges on the surface of the conductor would then experience force and move. In the static situation, therefore,E should have no tangential component. Thus electrostatic field at the surface of a charged conductor must be normal to the surface at every point. (For a conductor without any surface charge density, field is zero even at the surface.)
The interior of a conductor can have no excess charge in the static situation
A neutral conductor has equal amounts of positive and negative charges in every small volume or surface element. When the conductor is charged,the excess charge can reside only on the surface in the static situation.This follows from the Gauss's law. Consider any arbitrary volume element v inside a conductor. On the closed surface S bounding the volume element v, electrostatic field is zero. Thus the total electric flux through S is zero. Hence, by Gauss's law, there is no net charge enclosed by S. But the surface S can be made as small as you like, i.e., the volume v can be made vanishingly small. This means there is no net charge at any point inside the conductor, and any excess charge must reside at the surface.
Electrostatic potential is constant throughout the volume of the conductor and has the same value (as inside) on its surface
Since E = 0 inside the conductor and has no tangential component on the surface, no work is done in moving a small test charge within the conductor and on its surface. That is, there is no potential difference between any two points inside or on the surface of the conductor. Hence, the result. If the conductor is charged,electric field normal to the surface exists; this means potential will be different for the surface and a point just outside the surface.In a system of conductors of arbitrary size, shape and charge configuration, each conductor is characterised by a constant value of potential, but this constant may differ from one conductor to the other.
Electric field at the surface of a charged conductor
E=ϵ0σn^
where σ is the surface charge density and n^ is a unit vector normal to the surface in the outward direction.
To derive the result, choose a pill box (a short cylinder) as the Gaussian surface about any point P on the surface. The pillbox is partly inside and partly outside the surface of the conductor. It has a small area of cross section δS and negligible height.Just inside the surface, the electrostatic field is zero; just outside, the field is normal to the surface with magnitude E. Thus,the contribution to the total flux through the pill box comes only from the outside (circular) cross-section of the pill box. This equals ±EδS (positive for σ>0,negative for σ<0), since over the small area δS, E may be considered constant and E and δS are parallel or antiparallel. The charge enclosed by the pill box is σδS.By Gauss's law
EδS=ϵ0∣σ∣δS
E=ϵ0∣σ∣

Quick Summary With Stories
Mechanical Force on Charged Conductor
Two spherical conductors B and C having equal radii and carrying equal charges in them repel each other with a force F, when kept apart at some distance. A third spherical conductor having same radius as that of B but uncharged, is brought in contact with B, then brought in contact with C and finally removed away from both. The new force of repulsion between B and C is:
A conducting sphere of radius R is given a charge Q. The electric potential and the electric field at the centre of the sphere respectively are :
A solid conducting sphere having a charge Q is surrounded by an uncharged concentric conducting hollow spherical shell. Let the potential difference between the surface of the solid sphere and that of the outer surface of the hollow shell be V. If the shell is now given a charge −3Q, the new potential difference between the same two surfaces is :
Two concentric spherical conducting shells of radii R and 2R carry charges Q and 2Q respectively, change in electric potential on the outer shell when both are connected by a conducting wire (k=4πϵ01) is:
Which one of the following graphs shows the variation of electric field strength E with distance r from the centre of a hollow conducting sphere?
The electric field at a distance 23R from the centre of a charged conducting spherical shell of radius R is E. The electric field at a distance 2R from the centre of the sphere is :
A point charge q is placed inside a conducting spherical shell of inner radius 2R and outer radius 3R at a distance of R from the center of the shell. Find the electric potential at the center of the shell.
A thin metallic spherical shell contains a charge Q on its surface. A point charge q1 is placed at the centre of the shell and another charge q2 is placed outside the shell. All the three charges are positive. Then, the force on charge q1 is

Remember this one – OH HAPPY DAY ("Sister Act 2") by the St. Francis Choir feat/Ryan Toby?
"Oh Happy Day" is a 1967 gospel music arrangement of an 18th-century hymn. Recorded by the Edwin Hawkins Singers, it became an international hit in 1969, reaching No. 4 in the US and No. 2 in both the UK pop charts and Irish Singles Chart. It has since become a gospel music standard.
The song has appeared in many movies, beginning with the German film Seventeen and Anxious in 1970, but most notably Whoopi Goldberg's 1993 film Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, with then-17-year-old Ryan Toby singing lead. The song also appears in Big Momma's House, Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, David LaChapelle's 2005 movie Rize, Robin William's 2007 movie License to Wed., and in 2010 biographical film produced by Walt Disney Pictures: Secretariat.
A version was performed and recorded by Spiritualized on their 1998 live album Royal Albert Hall October 10 1997.
The world population was around 5,578,865,109.
The year 1993 in film involved many significant films, including the blockbuster hits Jurassic Park, The Fugitive and The Firm.

Themes: Abstract
Netherlands Born in: 1904 Masterpieces
Originally from Holland, born in Rotterdam in 1904, Willem de Kooning is a famous American painter, sculptor and illustrator. He is considered as one of the precursors to abstract expressionism. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts and Applied Sciences in Rotterdam, he decided to emigrate to the United States. He arrived illegally in New York in 1926 at the age of 21. He became an American citizen in 1962.
Throughout his career, Willem de Kooning met many artists, both American and European, who had a huge influence on his work. Attracted by abstract art, he was particularly inspired by the work of Joan Miro and Picasso. In 1943, he married American artist Elaine Fried.
Willem de Kooning was, above all, a painter of people. Faces and bodies are entangled in a mixture of gouache, watercolours and pastels. His series of paintings called "Women" propelled him to stardom on the international stage. "Woman V" was sold to the Australian National Gallery in Canberra for $850,000, the highest price ever recorded for a living American artist. There was a new record nine years later for his "Two Women" painting, which Christie's acquired for $1.21 million. In 1955, "Interchange" was put up for auction at Sotheby's and was sold for $20.8 million. This same work of art was sold again in 2015 by the Geffen Foundation to the pension fund manager Kenneth C. Griffin for $300 million: the most expensive painting in the world today.
After separating from Elaine in 1955, he began a series of abstract urban landscapes.
Willem de Kooning exhibited his work all over the world, in some of the most prestigious museums and institutions. MoMa in New York was the first to buy one of his canvases in 1948. The Tate Gallery in London followed suit, along with the Chicago Art Institute and many others.
The artist died in 1997 on Long Island, at the age of 92.

More reaction from Supt. McCarthy's invitation-only 'listening tour'
Residents, Ald. Taliaferro disagree with the meeting's closed format
by T.J. Kremer III July 22, 2015 February 10, 2021
Youth leaders with the Westside Health Authority (WHA) and former 37th Ward aldermanic candidate Tara Stamps confront Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy as he makes his way into Mars Hill Baptist Church in Austin for a community meeting held July 15. Neither Stamps nor the youths were allowed inside. Igor Studenkov/Contributor.
Chicago's top cop was in Austin last week as part of his citywide "listening tour." But unless you were one of the select few pre-picked for the event, you weren't getting in.
Mars Hill Baptist Church, 5916 W. Lake St., hosted Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy, and about 15 other high-ranking police officers, for the the dialogue with around 30 Austin residents.
The July 15 gathering, dubbed a "community meeting," was the second-to-last stop on McCarthy's tour of all 22 Chicago police districts. Multiple stories, similar to these from DNAinfo.com and the Austin Weekly News, reported the media have been kept out of all of the events.
In fact, members of the media, including AustinTalks, and some community groups attempted to gain entry to the Austin meeting, only to be turned away at the door.
Rev. Clarence E. Stowers Jr. of Mars Hill did not return multiple requests for comments on how people were chosen to attend the community meeting.
One person who did make the list — Larry Williams, a State Farm insurance representative whose office is next to Mars Hill — said the meeting featured a lot of candid dialogue, mostly dealing with issues of respect between police and the community.
However, because there were "not a lot of outsiders" present — Williams said about half of the crowd were Mars Hill Church members and other neighborhood pastors — McCarthy missed an opportunity to hear more diverse opinions.
"Overall, I think it would've been better served if there was more youth involved," Williams said.
That sentiment was echoed by 29th Ward Ald. Chris Taliaferro, who was not invited to the event and said he "sincerely disagrees" with the pre-selection process used by the host venues and the Chicago Police Department.
"One of the things you have to ask (about the lack of people invited to the event) is: 'Is the community being represented?'" said Taliaferro, who worked as a sergeant for the Chicago Police Department before being elected to the city council earlier this year.
He said in the future, he would like to see meetings between the police and community members open to all members of the public.
"That way you know that the community has had an opportunity to have their voices heard, so that they can become part of the solution," Taliaferro said. "But when you leave certain people out, or leave anyone out of the process, you lose valuable assets to solving the problems we're facing in Austin."
The Austin meeting came on the heels of controversial comments McCarthy made about the death of 7-year-old Amari Brown earlier this month. Those comments, coupled with a lack of more diverse voices in the listening tour meetings, have some wondering about McCarthy's intentions.
"I don't know how the superintendent expects to be taken seriously," said Rev. Ira Acree of Greater St. John Bible Church, who was also left off the guest list for the Austin meeting.
Acree said if he had been invited, he would've told McCarthy, "don't be afraid of the heat" because, "people need an opportunity to have a sounding board."
Representatives from the Chicago Police Department did not return multiple attempts for comment.
Tracy Siska, executive director of the Chicago Justice Project, also questioned McCarthy's motives, calling the listening tour "disingenuous."
Siska said the selective process used for the meetings amounted to the police department deciding who is worthy of listening to and who is not, and that McCarthy "talks about transparency and accountability but doesn't lead by example."
"I think (the Chicago Police Department) should become 100 percent completely transparent," Siska said.
