Forgetting the Alamo
I just reviewed a few weeks ago another film of the same title that's about the annexation of Texas into the USA. The origins of Texas contribute a whole lot to the Texas of today that you see depicted in this Lone Star.
Sheriff Chris Cooper, the son of the previous sheriff, gets a nice little mystery to solve when some skeletal remains turn up on the old rifle range of an army base soon to close down. Those remains turn out to be those of Kris Kristofferson, the sheriff before Cooper's father. He'd just disappeared around the same time as $10,000.00 of county funds had up and vanished also.
As Cooper investigates a whole lot about the ugly underbelly of racism emerges. Also some unlikely heroes emerge out of Lone Star which actually gives an optimistic tone to Lone Star.
Look for some really outstanding performances by Kris Kristofferson as a truly malevolent portrait of a tyrant without accountability and from Clifton James who is the mayor of the town and back in the day was Kristofferson's deputy.
John Sayles puts together a winner of a film and a true portrait of the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary Texas.

compelling interconnected changing world
Two treasure hunters find a skeleton and a rusted sheriff badge in the desert. Sheriff Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper) in border town Frontera, Texas investigates. His former love teacher Pilar (Elizabeth Peña) is trying to reform school material as the town's racial makeup changes. He had problems with his late father Buddy who was the town's legendary sheriff. Evidence suggests the dead is old Sheriff Charlie Wade. Intermittent flashbacks from 40 years ago show Buddy Deeds (Matthew McConaughey) as a deputy working under corrupt racist Sheriff Charlie Wade (Kris Kristofferson).
This is a vast wide story of a small corner of the world. It's a compelling interweaving movie of the different ethnicity in this mixed society. It's a song with many instruments. The interconnections can be overwhelming to keep track. There are powerful scenes and it never stops being compelling. The acting is solid. It's a wonderful wide set of connected stories.

Texas state of mind
John Sayles is regarded as one of the best independent film-makers about and Lone Star is a film of a man in full throttle. Its a set of interwoven stories set in two time periods as Chris Cooper a border town sheriff who has returned to his home town where his father was a legendary Sheriff investigates a 40 year old murder that may have been committed by his own father. He also rekindles a romance with a childhood, Hispanic sweetheart that his father was very much against at the time.
The film is foremost a murder mystery but also deals with issues of police corruption, illegal immigration, justice, politics and racism. Sayles was rightly nominated for an Oscar for his screenplay.
Chris Cooper holds the film as the dogged sheriff. Kriss Kristofferson and Matthew McConaughey make effective cameos in flashback scenes. There is a strange cameo from Frances McDormand as Cooper's ex-wife who is dealing with mental health issues which probably led to their divorce.
The film is thoughtful, provocative and requires attention. Its not a slam bang or a slow burner. Many multiple stories come together as the past comes to haunt the present and relationships are made clearer.

James MacLehose and Sons
In his opening chapter of The Evolution of Religion, vol. 1, Caird argues that the science of religion is one the earliest and one of the latest of the sciences. It is one of the earliest because philosophy, which is the parent of the sciences, is the child of religion; it is one of the latest because knowledge comes in and through experience. Having established a continuum of the science and evolution of religion, Caird seeks some general idea or definition of religion which might serve as a guide in his subsequent discussion. He endeavours to show that the definition or idea of religion cannot be found in any element common to all religions. In conformity with the idea of evolution, the definition of religion must be derived from consideration of the whole course of history.
Next, the author maintains that the consciousness of God, or at least the principle out of which the consciousness of God arises, is as much one of the primary elements of our intelligence as are consciousness of the object or consciousness itself. Thus, all our knowledge of the objective world and all our knowledge of ourselves presupposes the idea of God; though it is equally true that, just because it is the presupposition of all other knowledge, it is the last thing on which we reflect, or which we try to explain to ourselves.
From establishing God as the presupposition of all knowledge, the author turns to illuminate the idea of religion by considering two views of it which, though not far removed from each other, yet are in one aspect contrasted and opposed. The view of Max Müller is that the infinite, which is the object of religion, is to be taken as primarily the negative of the finite, as a 'Beyond' to which we reach out from the firm ground of the finite, but which we cannot define in itself. In contrast, according to the author, Hebert Spenser seems to present a more adequate view of the subject when he speaks of the infinite and unconditioned not as the negative of the finite but as the presupposition of our consciousness of the finite, the positive basis of our thought of it.
Chapter 6, then, brings Caird to an important turning point in his argument. According to the definition previously given, the idea of God in its purest germinal form is the idea of the unity presupposed in all the differences of the finite, especially the difference of self and not-self, of inner and outer experience. But if this is assumed, we are necessarily led to regard that idea not only as the beginning or first presupposition, but also as the end and last interpretation of our lives, for it cannot be one of these without the other.
Next, Caird argues that the objective form of the earliest religion anticipated the highest religious ideas, which appear very early in the history of religion. He further explores what is implied in the objective form of a human being's earliest consciousness, especially religious consciousness. He then discusses in what sense the earliest religion was anthropomorphic and what is meant by fetishism. He also argues that imagination gradually elevates and idealizes the objects of worship.
From the elevation of the object, Caird turns to discuss what he calls objective religion—the religion in which God, who is properly conceived as the unity beyond all differences, especially the difference of subject and object, is represented as one object among others. Here the author also examines the connection of the earliest phases of religion with morality. He argues that objective religion conceives God as father, and, in turn, explores how the earliest religion is ancestor worship. Caird then juxtaposes the social character of early religion and morality. He then explicates the development of objective religion, including the growth of polytheism as well as the effort to reduce the many gods to one and the importance of the stage in which the heavens or heavenly bodies came to be worshipped.
From pantheism, Caird turns to religion in Greece and examines the movement through pantheism to subjective religion in the Upanishads. He notes the Greek phase of objective religion and how its anthropomorphism mediates the transition to subjective religion through its attempt to humanize the nature powers and substitute a relation to man for the relation of nature. The author further discusses the tendency to unify Greek polytheism by setting fate above the gods and by introducing the monotheistic idea.
Caird then addresses the logical justification of subjective religion and addresses the principle of positivism that admits no exceptions and bears abstractedness as its defect. Having explored Kant's inference underlying all subjective religion, the author moves into the subjective religions—Buddhism and the philosophical religion of the stoics. He explains how Buddhism developed from Vedic pantheism.
Finally, in the last chapter of the first volume, Caird speaks of the religion of Israel as the highest form of subjective religion. In addition to summarizing the development of subjective and objective religion, Caird discusses the moral strength of subjective religion and opposition of the spirit to nature. He addresses the transition from a national to a universal religion as well as the rise of moral individualism. In closing, Caird discusses the idea of the covenant between God and humankind, the limits of development of Jewish religion, and Jewish history as an illustration of the principle of development.

Water flumes, splash zone, climbing wall, and spa – council sets out its vision for new £26m complex
Liz Coates

Norfolk's biggest resort is poised for a new £26m water and leisure complex tipped as a 'once in a generation' investment.
The 'anchor attraction' for Great Yarmouth's Golden Mile will replace the 1980's built Marina Centre and feature a climbing wall, gym, 25m pool and giant slides that will announce the attraction and be seen from the outside.
If all goes to plan the centre could open in little more than two years.
The announcement comes after years of hand-wringing over the future of the outdated complex, initially hailed as a model for leisure centres but soon derided as a costly white elephant.
The new 'game-changer' vision will see a smaller centre take shape on the same spot with some 200 parking spaces, opening up the seafront and views of the beach.

The building itself will be environmentally friendly and free to enter, with a beach-side cafe making the most of its position next to the resort's famous wide sands.
Graham Plant and Trevor Wainwright, the political group leaders, said: 'The council is signalling its clear ambition to make a major once-in-a-generation investment for the benefit of the seafront and the whole borough for up to 40 years, building upon the significant investment that's already taking place on the seafront and in the wider area.
'Great Yarmouth is Norfolk's top seaside destination, with its annual visitor economy now worth £625m, supporting 36pc of the local employment workforce – an estimated 12,000 jobs.
'This exciting regional water and leisure complex would be a game-changer for the Golden Mile as a new anchor facility, enhancing the year-round visitor economy, acting as a catalyst for further investment, and supporting health, well-being and fitness opportunities for people across the borough.'

Council members will vote on the proposal to demolish the Marina and build the new water-themed centre on Thursday December 13
If all goes to plan the public will be asked what they think the building should look like in January at a series of consultation events and the wrecking balls could move in after the summer season next year.
Building work should finish in time for the 2021 season.
Under the scheme there will be two water flumes, a splash pad, confidence water area, learner pool, and a six-lane 25m pool.
The complex will also be equipped with a state-of-the-art health suite with sauna, steam and spa, a 100-station health and fitness gym, indoor climbing facility, fitness and spin studios, sports hall, soft play area and a café.
Officials said the new sports hall would be suitable for roller skating and short mat bowls.
In the new-build there will be no place for the indoor bowls club or squash courts.

The Montreal General Hospital
The Montreal Chest Institute
Our Vision, Mission, and Values
Clinical Missions
Healing Environment
MUHC Code of Ethics
In pursuing the mission of the MUHC, staff work to combine patient care, education and research, while creating an atmosphere of inquiry, innovation and self-evaluation. We also aim to share our expertise in the treatment of disease, in the prevention of illness or injury, and in the promotion of health with other institutions and professionals in a collective effort to address our society's health care problems. The MUHC community strives to continually strengthen relationships with all the different groups we serve, based on: open communication, mutual understanding, support, and respect for cultural and linguistic diversity. We work in partnership with patients to identify and provide for their health care needs.
In keeping with its charter and tradition, the MUHC emphasizes:
A primary concern for respecting the intrinsic value of each individual;
A commitment to treat patients, at all times, with understanding, compassion, courtesy and fairness, and with respect for their dignity, autonomy, needs and safety;
A call for the highest ethical and legal standards in professional practice;
A commitment to excellence in clinical care, research and teaching;
Loyalty to our community;
A commitment to basic principles of justice and the fair allocation of health care resources.
Every member of the MUHC community shares the responsibility for treating with respect those who turn to us for help. We should try to have them feel comforted and secure. This code of ethics reflects this responsibility, and our commitment to having our practices and daily conduct reflect the values and beliefs of our institution.
We consider the following guiding principles to be very important in the task of creating a healing environment:
Promoting open communication
Preservation of confidentiality
Informed care and treatment decisions
Providing care in a compassionate, responsible manner
Access to health information
Every person should be treated with respect. This should be reflected in the attitude, communications and actions of staff, patients and family.
Respect requires sensitivity to:
every person's right to make decisions about himself or herself (the right to self-determination)
the right to human dignity and privacy
people's attempts to communicate, in their own manner, their experience of their illness, ailments or symptoms
Staff will treat patients and their families with courtesy, fairness and understanding. The MUHC does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, ethnic origin, culture, social status, gender, sexual orientation, health status or health care choices.
The MUHC recognizes that children and adolescents have particular needs. Staff will respect and attempt to meet those needs in accordance with the hospital's mission, available resources and the needs of other children and their families.
Everyone has a collective responsibility to ensure that the MUHC provides a safe, civil environment. Staff members, patients and visitors should not have to experience harassment or abuse. They must be made to feel they can discuss incidents of abuse without fear of reprisal. Clear directives must be available so people will know with whom they could discuss such incidents.
Confidentiality is the right to have information kept private. The notion of confidentiality is understood as covering the written medical record as well as any information disclosed by patients, their families or third parties. Confidentiality should be assumed unless specific release of information is authorized by the patient, the parents or guardian (in the case of a minor less than 14 years old) or the law.
The patient's permission is required to discuss their case with anyone outside of the medical team. If the patient is unable to communicate, health-related information may be discussed with:
the person who has been chosen to speak on the patient's behalf
the closest family member, or
the patient's legal representative (if there is one).
Medical records will be treated with a similar respect for confidentiality. Staff will have access to the medical file only for the purposes related to the provision of comprehensive health care, or when engaged in facility-approved education or research. In the case of chart use in education or research, every effort will be made to ensure appropriate privacy or anonymity.
Information about patients, their health status or their care will be considered confidential within the treating team. Staff may discuss information about their patients' health condition with either members of the multidisciplinary treating team or other staff as necessary for diagnosis or treatment. The same obligation to respect confidentiality is expected of all staff who have contact with the patient. Information should be released to an outside institution or physician as needed to ensure continuity of care, but again only upon signed consent. Information may also be released without specific consent in exceptional circumstances as is allowed by law or court order.
Access to Medical Files
Patients may have access to their medical file upon request unless, by exception, the treating physician believes it is temporarily not in the patient's best interest. A professional staff member will be present when patients review their file. Access by any other party to a patient's medical record will be allowed only with appropriate authorization or by court order. Appropriate safeguards for privacy and confidentiality must then be respected.
Privacy is understood to be the right to be free from inappropriate intrusion. Staff recognize that every patient has the right to have his or her dignity and modesty respected. Treatments, examinations and personal care will be conducted in a manner that respects the dignity and privacy of the patient.
In turn, it is expected that both children and adults, be they patient, family or visitor, show consideration for the dignity and privacy of all those with whom they come into contact during the time they spend in our hospital.
Open communication is understood as including many dimensions, from something as simple as "whom am I speaking to" through something as potentially complex as being able to really understand the pros and cons of a particular medical intervention. Staff will endeavour to foster open communication through:
wearing ID's and introducing themselves
primary care staff explaining their roles
providing care in English, French, and other languages when necessary
allowing time for decisions, in keeping with the demands of the clinical situation
providing information about care and services in our institution, and how to access ongoing care when patients leave
addressing the questions and concerns of patients and family members
facilitating informed decision making by patients
the availability of an ombudsman and a patient complaints procedure
implementing the hospital policy of disclosure of "untoward events": if an error is made in the care of a patient, they will be informed of the error, its probable consequences, and what corrective action will be taken
promoting effective communication amongst different MUHC departments, branches, teams and professionals
Central to informed consent is the principle that a competent person's informed decision should be respected. Patients, or where necessary, their legal representative, should be assisted to make the best decisions they can about their health care. In order to do this they should:
be given the information they need about:
the illness
the range of tests, treatments or research studies available
the purpose, benefits, risks, possible side effects and consequences of any tests, treatments or research studies
the identity and role of those taking care of them
the right to refuse a test or treatment
the likely consequences of refusing offered treatments
the right to refuse to participate in research
the right to withdraw consent at any time
the right to refuse or withdraw consent to a potentially life-sustaining treatment
the institution's obligation to provide "end of life" care in accordance with the law, including palliative care and medical aid in dying
the right to have expressed advance medical directives regarding future care respected.
be given this information in clear, understandable language in an environment where open discussion is possible. If necessary, patients can request and receive assistance in order to understand and make decisions.
be given time to think about this information before making a decision
be involved in ongoing discussions as the case evolves
be asked about the role they would like their family to play in matters of health-care decisions, particularly if there are concerns about them becoming incapacitated or unable to speak for themselves. They should be offered assistance in bringing these issues to the family's attention, if appropriate.
be allowed to communicate their choices by any means, except where otherwise specified by law.
be reassured that forgoing potentially life sustaining treatment or a physician's professional recommendation regarding treatment options, will not limit access to other appropriate end of life care/treatment options.
It is recognized that patients have the right to choose someone else to speak for them and make decisions should they become unable or need assistance. Similarly, a patient's right to change his or her mind about a decision, or to request a second opinion, shall be respected.
There are special circumstances surrounding informed decision making, including:
incompetent persons
delegated consent
informing third parties
When dealing with these situations, the hospital staff will endeavour to respect the basic principles outlined above, while taking into account relevant legislation.
A physician, or any health care provider may conscientiously object to providing medical aid in dying, however, they must ensure the continuity of care in accordance with the patient's expressed wishes and the MUHC policy by which an alternative care provider will be found.
In the case of children and adolescents, both the family and the child's involvement are important in successfully caring for and treating our patients, and they both play an important role when it comes to ensuring optimal care. This involvement includes participation in any decision affecting the state of health or welfare of the patient.
Clinical and Research Safeguards
MUHC staff will take all necessary precautions to assure the safety of each person in our hospital and make every effort to protect children and their families from harm.
As per hospital policy, patients will be informed of untoward events which developed or occurred during their care.
All research will be conducted within accepted ethical standards, and only after review and approval by an appropriate Research Ethics Board. Patients may refuse to engage in a research project, or withdraw from participation in a project at any time without fear that this will influence their care or that of their family members in any way.
Responsibilities of patients
Patients should treat other patients and staff with respect. Patients should understand that the hospital's excellence in clinical care is closely tied to its commitment to teaching and research.
Patients should be as involved in their own health care as much as possible. This includes:
asking about things that concern them or that they do not understand
making the best decisions they can about their care,
discussing their wishes, preferences and decisions with the staff,
taking part in their care plan,
being conscientious consumers of health care.

Are expected facts and stultifying forms enough? Can we learn from past experiments? Do these exert a prescriptive presence that hinder the formation of affective contexts? How can we lay claim to knowledge when the social generation of learning outstrips us as subjects-who-know? Can we embrace such obsolescence? Can we coincide? Can we tend? Can we actualise? Participants of the conference: Jakob Jakobsen (Copenhagen/London), Petar Atanacković (Potsdam/Berlin), Fabian Tompsett (London), Branka Ćurčić (Novi Sad), Kasper Opstrup Frederiksen (Copenhagen), Zoran Gajić (Novi Sad), Nikoleta Marković (Rijeka), Howard Slater (London) Image 'fa-fa-faculty' made by organisers; credits: inspired by the material collected at the J. Jakobsen blog: http://antihistory.org/ (Bob Cobbing's visual poetry on the front and back page of the one and only magazine published by the Antiuniversity of London in 1968 and photo of the chairs at this Antiuni). About conference participants: Howard Slater is a volunteer play therapist and writer. His book, Anomie/Bonhomie & Other Writings, was published by Mute Books in January 2012 and its translation to Serbo-Croatian as Anomija/Bonomija i drugi tekstovi was published by kuda.org in 2013. Nikoleta Marković is an artist whose interests are placed in the liminal space between contemporary art and potential new audience and authors, investigating the complex inter-relations essential to this exchange. Her works are generated mostly within the process of examining positions, roles and responsibilities of the artist in contemporary society, thus problematizing the entire drama of politics going on between an individual and community. She is currently working on her PhD thesis at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade. Zoran Gajić is a member of the Group for Conceptual Politics. He is a theorist who dismissed sociology after studying it. He used to be a worker in Novi Sad's factory of cables (Novkabel) and today he talks and writes about art, theory and politics. Kasper Opstrup Frederiksen is a Danish writer and researcher of radical culture. For many years, he was active in the Copenhagen-based art collective floorless which was involved with self-publishing as well as creating multi-media installations inside as well as outside the institutions. His book, The Way Out - Invisible Insurrections and Radical Imaginaries in the UK Underground 1961-1991, will be forthcoming on Minor Compositions in 2015. Branka Ćurčić is a member of kuda.org and the Group for Conceptual Politics. She writes on art theory/practice and politics and from time to time likes to have fun while co-editing publications. Fabian Tompsett is a writer and activist, who overcame the shortcomings of a bourgeois education by gaining a proletarian one through the London Workers Group. This was accompanied by many years of practical experience working in several Print Co-ops in London during the eighties. During the nineties he initiated the London Psychogeographical Association and collaborated with Alastair Bonnett on Transgressions, A Journal of Urban Exploration. He extensively writes and deals with Situationists International. Petar Atanacković is a member of the Group for Conceptual Politics. He is an emigrant whose destiny of a historian is uncertain. Also, he is as an activist taking part in collective housing projects in Germany. He practices poetic writings about politics. Jakob Jakobsen is a politically engaged visual artist, educator and activist. He was part of the Copenhagen Free University from 2001 to 2007, was co-founder of the trade union Young Artworkers (UKK) in 2002, and the artist run television station tv-tv in 2004. He was professor at the Funen Art Academy from 2006 to 2012. The reader of the conference will be published in the following months after the conference, as bilingual book, published by kuda.org. *** The conference is organized within the project "Aesthetic Education Expanded"(www.aestheticeducation.net), a collaborative project by Berliner Gazette, Kontrapunkt, kuda.org, Multimedia Institute and Mute, and is supported by the programme Culture 2007-2013 of the European Commission.

Gay Marriage in the U.S.
A Massachusetts court rules that gay and lesbian couples from Rhode Island can get married in Massachusetts, the only state that allows gay marriage.
It's the first time out-of-state same-sex couples will be allowed to take advantage of legal gay marriage in Massachusetts, and it may pave the way for couples in other states that, like Rhode Island, don't explicitly prohibit gay marriage.

In October of 1992, President George H.W. Bush and presidential hopefuls Bill Clinton and Ross Perot took to the stage at University of Richmond's Robins Center for a debate that would change the course of electoral politics in America. As the first-ever presidential debate in a town hall format, the innovative and memorable event brought presidential candidates closer to voters, but also complicated the way American political messages are communicated.
In October of 2012, two days after President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney engaged in their own town hall debate at Hofstra University, NCA cosponsored, with the Department of Rhetoric and Communication Studies at the University of Richmond, a discussion with debate experts, political communication specialists, and some of the most well-known participants in the 1992 debate to discuss and reflect on what made the 1992 Richmond debate so influential. The event occurred Thursday, October 18 at 5:00 pm in the Tyler Hanes Commons on the University of Richmond campus.

UP TO 1,700 jobs could be at risk as confectionery giant Mars considers shutting its UK operation, it has been reported.
The family-run business, behind such brands as Mars bar, Snickers, Twix and Maltesers, told staff last week it was launching a pan-European consultation to 'address sales growth, manufacturing capacity, overheads and ways of working'.
The announcement was in response to rumours that the company was planning to close its famous chocolate factory in Slough, also home to its European headquarters. The firm employs 11,000 people across Europe, with around 1,700 at its UK base - 200 in the factory.
A spokesman for the Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union, told the Sunday Times he feared the company was set to make big cuts.
Mars has a reputation for secrecy but it is thought the consultation is the result of growing tensions that followed the retirements last year of three Mars family members.
Forrest Jr, John and Jacqueline - the children of founder Forrest Mars Snr - grew the company into America's third-largest private company. But when they stepped down in 2004, day-to-day control moved outside the family and attempts to change the management style have apparently caused problems.
The company has been making Mars bars in Slough since 1933.


So, of course, we had a little party, wore goofy little hats, had some homemade cookies and sang Happy Birthday.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prick sweet potato several times with a fork.
2. Heat sweet potato in a microwave on high until tender, about 6 minutes. Cut potato in half and scoop flesh out of the skin into a bowl; discard skin. Mash potato with a fork or potato masher and transfer about 1 cup to a large bowl. Save any remaining sweet potato for another use.
3. Mix whole wheat flour, applesauce, and eggs in the large bowl with the sweet potato until a dough forms. Turn dough out on a well-floured surface and roll dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter or cut dough into strips with a pizza cutter. Arrange cookies on an ungreased baking sheet.
4. Bake until crisp, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
So, tell me Reds, how do you celebrate furbaby birthdays at your house?
Happy birthday Harley! Your mom is very sweet to make those delicious cookies:).
In our house we sing HBTY and we shake our heads in amazement that time has gone by so quickly!!
Our standard poodle received a banana inside a hotdog bun, his two favorite foods combined.
Lucy - it does seem to scoot by quickly, doesn't it?!
Margaret - I love this. What a fun idea this is! Harley loves bananas too, I think he'd enjoy it in a hotdog bun.
No idea what day mine were born, all rescues, the vets and I have a hard time figuring out a year for the records, no way to guess anything more specific. They tend to use the day I brought them in as a birth day and month.
Hallie, Harley has declared you an official auntie, so we will keep you mind for all future celebrations.
Susan, there you go! As it should be!
Aubrey, I guess I'd never really considered how this would go for rescues. So, "rescue day" works perfectly!
Yes, we have reuses..... But We always mark the day they came home to us — Lola's rescue day is Mother's Day and Xander's is July 1.
Hahahahaha - here, let me pour you a cup, Susan! (and oh yes, we do understand how that lack of coffee thing affects the typing - not to worry).
Ah, that handsome Harley. With all the cats, birthdays tend to be overlooked. But, there was always a new toy for the first birthday. I know just when Dickens was born because he was born behind the bookcase, but it's just a guess for the others, Sending hugs to that wonderful Harley!
How appropriate for Dickens to be born behind the bookcase! I love that! and Harley and I send hugs back, Lesa.
Happy Birthday Harley, you lucky dog!
Yes, my cat Mrs. Purdy (NO idea!) had her kittens in my closet on my first day of high school in 1963. Talk about a bid for attention! But we always remembered when the kittens (F.Scott, Zelda and Picnic--NO idea! ) were born!
Happy Birthday, Harley Doodle Barley!
Message to Kaye!!!!!!!! First, huge hugs to one of the dearest dogs on the planet!!!!!
Dax was born on September 11th. We've always thought that made her extra-special. She'll be three this September--I can't believe it! We can guess when Jasmine was born within about a month, but Rick and I can't agree on a day to celebrate. I say January 12th, my dad's birthday, or Jan. 31st, his mom's birthday. He says February 14th. (Just for the record, my dates are probably more accurate:-)) So she will be two SOMETIME this coming winter! The dogs always get special treats or stuffed toys.
Thelma - email villains - aargh!!!!!! Get in touch when they've released you as a hostage.
Debs, I just "knew" furbaby celebrations happened at your house; just knew it (and love it).
Please tell Dax and Jasmine that Harley appreciates the birthday wishes.
Happy Birthday, Harley! You look quite smashing in your birthday hat. I love that your mommy spoils you with homemade doggie treats. So nice.
Our doggie Abbie, who passed away this spring, was an estimated birthday, too, as we got her through the shelter. Vet said three months old, and she joined the family in February, so for the next 15 years, we celebrated her birthday at Thanksgiving with extra treats and some yummy Thanksgiving turkey.
Thanks much, Kathy. Abbie lived and long and happy life - as it should be.
Happy birthday, Harley! Your cookies look excellent. And they sound people good too. Have an extra as a celebration reward from me.

Intel "mega-fab" coming to Ohio, reports say
ony Avelar/Bloomberg
Intel is reportedly planning to build a large chip facility in New Albany, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus, the state capital. An official announcement is expected on January 21.
The company reportedly plans to invest $20 billion in the site, and the city of New Albany is working to annex up to 3,600 acres of land to accommodate the facility, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, which first reported the deal.
Given the size of the parcel and the facility's rumored price tag, it is likely the site of Intel's "mega-fab," which CEO Pat Gelsinger said would be like "a little city." The mega-fab would contain six to eight modules, he said, and would focus on lithography processes and packaging techniques. Suppliers would have space on the site, too.
The mega-fab would also become a center for training new production engineers. Given the site's proximity to Ohio State University, just 15 miles away, it's likely that the company would partner with the university's electrical engineering department. At the very least, it would provide a nearby source of potential future employees.
Intel declined to comment on the story when contacted by Ars.
Ohio and New York were competing for the facility, according the Plain Dealer. New York has a long history of semiconductor manufacturing dating back to the heyday of IBM. If Intel's mega-fab does land in Ohio, it would be a coup for the state, which isn't known to be a hub for major semiconductor firms.
Intel has fallen behind in recent years, but Gelsinger is pushing to bring the company back to the leading edge. To get there, he's planning to make not only Intel chips but also chips for other companies. The semiconductor giant has already signed Qualcomm and Amazon Web Services, and Intel VP Klaus Schuegraf told Ars in October that more than 100 companies have expressed interest. If even a fraction of them follow through, they could help fill order capacity at the mega-fab.

On my old android 4x, Jarvis 16.3 box, with the master phone socket in another room I often had problems with buffering on SD streams (though pausing for a minute usually helped as it enabled the stream to make headway), watching HD streams was out of the question (tu I don't care as I don't have a HD TV), and whenever I took a stream off pause it would play in silence for 30 seconds before the sound would return.
I'm talking Genesis/Exodus and now Covenant.
Since getting the master socket moved into the TV room, just 3 feet from my brand new android 5x box with Krypton 17.3, things have been much better. Buffering hasn't been an issue on SD, I could even watch HD streams for a good 10 minutes before they freeze-up and I had instant sound whenever I unpaused a stream.
In short, life was good. However this past week I am having problems again. ALL streams are buffering within 2 minutes and the 'progress' bar (for want of a better phrase) doesn't push on and put distance between it and where playback currently is. Not even pausing it - to allow the stream time to forge ahead - makes much difference. At first I thought it was the stream itself (new movie, not many streams, lots of users hogging bandwidth) but it's happening all the time. Even when there are a ton of streams. I've cleared the Covenant cache even though Smash periodically tells me that it's doing that automatically and I've cleared the cache in the android box internal storage settings, too, but to no avail.
Ps: I've just run a speed test and I'm at 44mb DL and 17mb UL. No parental blocks by my ISP (BT).
are you running a build? do you have a ton of addons?
you said you have tried multiple source sites for streams, correct?
Just checking, you have colossus repo installed and running the newest version of covenant, correct?
If your internet connection is ok you might try creating an advancedsettings.xml file to increase the amount of cache that Kodi uses for buffering.
Save this as advancedsettings.xml in your Kodi userdata folder (location depends upon OS) making sure that the file extension is xml and not txt or anything else. Then restart Kodi.
Just Krypton 17.3 build - no Wookie or Beast or whatever.
I have 6 add-ons - mainly because most of the good ones have gone away (Los Movies, Movies25, Ice Films, Velocity etc) or optimised builds that pre-load and configure a host of top add-ons. I have Covenant and a handful of non-working shite: Elysium, 1 Channel (supposedly fixed for the UK but it isn't), 1080 movies and TV Player but none of these work.
As Fusion is no more, when I got my new android 5x box (to run Krypton) I got Smash & Colossus as well as noobsandnerds, Elysium and kodiaddons. I picked from these the handful of add-ons I thought were good (Covenant) and were willing to try after hearing good things (the others).
I am running Covenant v 1.1.23 from Colossus (in which case I can't remember why I installed Smash). I clicked 'update' but it's still 1.1.23 so I assume that is the latest build.
I have no coding sills and have never amended anything on my box - this looks scary!
The buffermode value of 1 just tells Kodi to buffer all filesystems, both internet and local.
From your shiny new Android box, open a web browser. Send it to speedtest.net and see if your download speed is close, within 4-5mb of what your connection is rated at. I believe you said 45mb...I'm thinking, since you are using wifi, you may have an issue with other wireless devices causing interference. Like, cordless phones, baby monitors or anything that is wireless. If you have another PC or laptop that is connected by WIRE see what speeds it can attain from the speedtest. Both should be close to each other. If your new box is getting less than about 35mb and your wired device gets you closer to top speed more than likely you got a wifi issue. If you do have anything that is wireless turn it off or unplug it then test again and see if it improves. I used to have an issue on my system with wireless rear speakers on my surround sound system. Once I figured out they were causing problems I fixed it by changing the wifi channel in my router to avoid the channel those speakers were on. It's a process of elimination.
"telephone socket to within 3 feet (but still wi-fi)"
a cat5 connection would be the BEST way to avoid issues of speed and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference).
BTW I have never seen any improvement in buffering by altering the advancedsettings.xml file. Not to say that it doesn't work, it just didn't do squat for ME and I doubt it will help you but it is worth a try, who knows you might get lucky! Generally if you get a video that hangs like what you describe it's a server issue and so you just have to keep trying other sources for that video until you get one that's good enough to stream it correctly.
Speedtest would only let me do it if I DL the app so I went to Which broadband checker (33mb DL / 19mb UL); broadband.co.uk (35mb DL / 9mb UL) and broadband speed checker (19mb DL / 17mb UL).
I'm thinking, since you are using wifi, you may have an issue with other wireless devices causing interference. Like, cordless phones, baby monitors or anything that is wireless.
Nothing has changed though from when I was playing SD just fine on my old andoird box and this new one up until last week. I have my box, home phone (wireless but is always sat on its charger), mobile phone and laptop.
If you have another PC or laptop that is connected by WIRE see what speeds it can attain from the speedtest.
Speedtest.net has just returned 41mb UL and 17b DL for my laptop (with 4 internet windows open including a You Tube video on pause). MY laptop is currently 15ft away from both the box and the master socket as it is in another room.
Both should be close to each other.
I wish speedtest would run on my box but like I said, it was app only.
If your new box is getting less than about 35mb and your wired device gets you closer to top speed more than likely you got a wifi issue. If you do have anything that is wireless turn it off or unplug it then test again and see if it improves. I used to have an issue on my system with wireless rear speakers on my surround sound system. Once I figured out they were causing problems I fixed it by changing the wifi channel in my router to avoid the channel those speakers were on. It's a process of elimination.
Don't know what to say to this.
"telephone socket to within 3 feet (but still wi-fi)" a cat5 connection would be the BEST way to avoid issues of speed and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference).
I wanted to do this as my box does indeed have an RJ45 port - and this was the reason why I had my master socket moved into the front room and close to the box - but the problem is my telephone socket has this thinner connection and I don't recognise the type. From this socket is a micro filter with 2 ports (one use by my hub and the other by my land line) and whilst I'd be happy to hardline the box up, I don't know of any cables that go from RJ45 to this thinner one that BT use.
This is not my socket but this is exactly the type of setup I have. Thinner/flatter connection than the square RJ45 and micro filter with the exact same connection port.
It may be an RJ11 but I am not sure.
You can get around having to download the speed test app..I just don't remember how. Maybe a different browser. But the app is safe I use it with no issues. Pick a location that is nearest to you. Use the same test point/location if you can on the laptop and the device. Run it several times. I would say unplug the cordless phone AFTER you get some speed tests from the Android box. See if the speed is affected while it's unplugged. Those things are known to be a problem particularly if it's 2.4ghz or a 5ghz phone because those are the same radio frequencies used by most routers.
In order to 'hardwire' You box to test for better performance you need a cord with rj45 connectors on each end. One end plugs into your box, and the other end plugs into your router. Your wireless router is plugged into your modem. The router should have ports on the back for Ethernet, that's what your looking for.
Sorted with the ethernet cable that came with my box and now it's plugged into the router which is about 15 inches away from the box.
Yes but remember, my problem in this thread was not about my inability to watch HD but SD content. To make matters worse, whilst on most streams the lack of stream caching ahead of the playback marker meant buffering, there were no issues with playback on a handful of streams despite no caching being evident and that really confused me.
I turned off HD streams last week - after all, what's the point in seeing them if I couldn't play them and even if I could, I don't have a HD TV to show them off? I'll turn them back on tomorrow and test now that I have the cable plugged in.
As a side point, prior to turning 1080 and 4k sources off, searching for streams for a film brought up a pop-up box that would measure progress in percentage whilst it collected the streams. Since turning them off, the percentage has disappeared and replaced it with listing the number of streams per bitrate - ie: 4k: 0; 1080: 0; 720: 15; 480: 25 - any idea why this has happened? I'm also seeing streams with .mp4 extensions whereas previously it was just HD/1080/SD.
The 4K:0 1080:0 720:48 etc is just part of Covenants latest update, nothing wrong there. As far as your cache goes you would need to make an advancedsettings.xml file.
Right, so hardlined and with speeds of over 70mb I went to watch season 3 of Project Greenlight. No HD source was available so 720p it was. I expected to see the cache streak all the way to the end within seconds of starting playback but nope, not even the usual 2-3 inches I used to get via wi-fi.
Playback was okay only until 12 minutes in. Then the picture juddered and then froze altogether. I paused playback and 3 minutes later was able to restart it but only for another 10 minutes. And it kept freeing up every 10 minutes. . The same happened regardless of stream or episode.
On the other hand, The Babysitter (2017) played flawlessly even though I still didn't see the cache ahead of the playback marker so now I am totally confused.
I have managed to find my one and only HD source - The Dark Tower and it payed fine until 22 minutes where it froze and the onscreen timer/clock graphic appeared.
]As far as your cache goes you would need to make an advancedsettings.xml file.
So is my problem a cache issue? Up until starting this thread things were fine even though I was limited to SD. My experience has been that if the cache is far enough ahead of the playback marker as to not be catchable - even if just a a bit as I usually get - then viewing is bufferless and those that aren't ahead of the marker, have playback issues and I have to wait for the cache to jump ahead.
Yet in the past week or so I've had no caching and shite playback (which prompted this thread) and no caching but flawless playback. WTF??!!
On another note, I am not sure why I am not seeing HD sources anywhere despite turning them back on (and even reverting back to defaults). Apart form the Dark Tower (of which there was just one HD source) I max out at 720p.
This is from the site I linked to above.
Have you read that page? Have you made a file? My bar is always barely ahead of the playback marker and I don't have any buffering problems 97% of the time.
Like I posted above I have created an advancedsettings.xml file and I consistently have 100% buffer and 170mb-200mb of cached video. This is server dependent though so you have to choose a good source like GVideo, CDN, OpenLoad, etc. I use the Rapier skin which has an option to display "debugging info" on screen (I don't know if other skins have something similar). This allows me to see the buffer percentage as well as the "forward" (ram cached video) amount and other info as well. If a source is not performing I choose another if possible. I rarely have buffering issues even though I'm only at 15Mb/s network speed! The server loads on the sources varies not only from source to source, but video source to video source, i.e. if Onseries/Estream is listed three different times the quality of the stream of each is different. Also, if you watch during peak hours expect higher server loads and possible buffering on lower quality sources. The stream quality may also depend on the physical path from server to box. Some shows I watch don't have any decent sources so I download them and watch them later.


Yesterday I, as well as your surgical team were prepared for surgery. Everyone was on target and doing their jobs. I did not. I am a smoker and my oxygen level on your table dropped dangerously low. You stopped immediately. You woke me. You contacted my doctor and went beyond that and called me in the evening. For your concern and professional I am eternally grateful.
I am sad, embarrassed and thankful.
I am going to contact a pulmonary doctor today and start the investigation of the condition of my lungs. Needless to say, my smoking has dropped dramatically (immediately) with this episode. I plan on following through, get healthy and see you again. With a better, healthier me.
I also hope you share this memorandum with your patients that are smokers. Smokers are a different breed. We are addicted, we find comfort, our best friend and right arm are cigarettes. We don't heed warnings (we are done with that), we are renegades and not willing to conform. Believe me I'm one of the best.
I look forward to seeing you and your team again.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you & your wonderful staff for my experience at your facility. From the moment I entered until the time I left the staff was so sincere & caring. The whole process was very calming. I know that I am still in the healing stage but from what I can see I am very happy! Thank you again & God Bless.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your integrity, expertise and professionalism in conducting my hair transplant. Before approaching you, I had research quite a bit including consultation with Bosley and MHR. I was shocked at the amount of grafts of hair the others were prescribing compared to how much I truly needed. You were the only doctor who prescribed the right amount for me even though you could have easily prescribed more and I wouldn't have known the difference. Thank you for educating me and having the most professional and advanced approach in doing my hair transplant. It looks amazing now after 8 months of the surgery. It looks perfectly natural and the transplant hair is flowing naturally in the same direction as all the other hair. I also want to thank you for making the surgery so painless and comfortable. BTW. Your prices were reasonable too.
Once again thanx a lot!!
I want to say thank you!!! My surgery and recovery went just as expected and the end result was perfect. Your staff throughout the process was very helpful, attentive and professional.
I wanted to thank you for the outstanding job you did on my breast augmentation. I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my surgery. They could not have turned out more perfect. It's funny how something so simple could have such a wonderful effect on me. I feel wonderful every day. I feel more beautiful than I ever have and I owe that to you. Thank you for doing such a wonderful work. You will be seeing my daughter in the next couple of years.
I wanted to thank you for all your wonderful kindness and caring you showed me over the past few weeks. I have had a perfect breast augmentation experience because you really understood what I had dreamed my end results would be. I couldn't be happier with my new breasts and its all thanks to you!!
I just wanted to say thanks so much. You did such a wonderful job on my face. I look so good. Everyone tells me that I am beautiful again. Now maybe I'll find a husband. Oh well, just a wish. You're the best you made me feel so comfortable and just think 2 weeks and I am almost recovered. What more could a girl want?


Can an El Mirage HOA force 1,200 homeowners to repaint?
EL MIRAGE -- HOA orders to repaint 1,200 homes in Rancho El Mirage upset the uneasy balance between protecting property values and property rights.
Ken Butters has seen some houses in his middle class El Mirage neighborhood that look horrible. And he's seen some that look great.
"Ours is one of them that looks great," Butters said, adding that he decided to buy the home 1 1/2 years ago because it was so well-kept.
But late last year, Butters was one of more than 1,200 homeowners — roughly 75 percent of the neighborhood — in Rancho El Mirage who received a notice from their HOA saying they had 14 days to start repainting the outside of their homes.
The uneasy balance between protecting property values and property rights had been upset.
Chaos and finger-pointing ensued. Outraged residents claimed they were blindsided by the pricey demand while the HOA board insisted it was protecting property values and said residents had been warned for more than a year. Complaints were made, and politicians got involved.
The rift has motivated some state legislators who want to pass laws to limit HOA power.
Four months later, not much has changed, and some residents are still in a stand off with the neighborhood board.
As HOAs have become ubiquitous across the Valley, so have bitter squabbles between them and the homeowners they are supposed to protect.
Some Rancho El Mirage homeowners bit the bullet and hired painters, others are holding out — either for financial reasons or on principle.
At a packed HOA board meeting this month, dozens of residents asked the board of directors to explain why they felt they could compel so many homes in the neighborhood be repainted.
The board pointed to a clause in the neighborhood's Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions — the governing document for an HOA — which states that each owner is "solely responsible for a portion of the maintenance, repair and replacement of his lot and improvements."
The board claims that house painting falls into "maintenance, repair and replacement" and says it gave residents plenty of forewarning that the board was going to require paint jobs to restore the squeaky-clean look of the neighborhood.
But residents and state Sen. Debbie Lesko, R-Peoria, say the board took the interpretation of its authority too far.
"I looked at a couple of the homes of the people that contacted me and they certainly did not appear to be needing any painting," Lesko said.
Board members said this process began in September 2014, when a notice was sent to all residents alerting them the HOA had inspected homes and any with discolored, faded or chipped paint would need to be repainted within 12 months.
In October 2015, a representative of Vision Community Management, the neighborhood's property manager, and a member of the HOA board walked the neighborhood and did inspections from the sidewalk, as they cannot enter private property.
Any homes thought to be in violation were sent a letter at the end of November, reiterating the need for painting and noting residents had 14 days to begin to remedy the issue. It was then residents began expressing their shock and discontent.
Vision Community Management representatives said that the 14-day deadline was a legal stipulation and that the board did not plan to begin enforcement that quickly.
Residents have insisted that the inspections were subjective, saying what looks horrible to one person might look fine to another. Additionally, no photos were provided to illustrate what areas of the home were problematic.
"I'm not opposed to getting my house painted," Butters said. "If it needs it — great, I understand. But my house doesn't need it."
Butters' home has the original paint from when it was built in 2004. He admits an observer can tell it's not a brand-new paint job, but said there's nothing alarming or noteworthy about it.
Linda Lang, president and CEO of the Arizona Association of Community Managers, said it's common for HOA rules to be broad, but said she had never seen another instance where this many homes in a community were asked to repaint. Vision Community Management CEO Darin Fisher said it's not an uncommon request and has happened in other communities that his group manages.
Butters, along with many of his neighbors, told the HOA board at the meeting that shelling out more than $2,000 to paint their homes on such short notice is a financial impossibility. Butters, who has been disabled since 2009, said he is on a fixed income.
Although the board has granted six- or 12-month extensions to those who've asked, residents still say it's not enough time to come up with the money.
Resident Tiffany Collier said she heard from Vision Property Management that grants were available for families like hers who need financial assistance for the home-improvement project.
"I was first told to contact the city of El Mirage City Hall, and then told not to because they are overwhelmed and they cannot do anything for us," Collier said.
Property Manager Nick Sewald said his team did direct people to the city grant program, until the city asked them to stop because it was inundated with requests.
Board members said they did not want to burden anyone with a true financial hardship and encouraged residents to submit an appeal to the board if they were in a difficult situation.
In fact, all residents are welcome to submit an appeal if they do not feel their house is in need of painting, according to Sewald's assistant Jocelyn Hooley. Nobody had submitted an appeal prior to the meeting, she said.
"Those most in disagreement with the letter are not sending in appeals. They're not willing to cooperate," Hooley said.
Fisher said 755 people so far have been granted time extensions, 333 have began to paint and about another 100 haven't contacted the HOA.
Fisher said the HOA board could eventually impose fines on homes that don't comply, but said the board has "absolutely zero" plans to do so for at least the next year, perhaps even longer.
After the meeting, Lesko, the state senator, said she felt the board still had not proven the community's governing rules give them authority to force so many of the homes in the neighborhood to be repainted.
Lesko said she — along with her colleagues at the Legislature — toss around ideas each legislative session on how to rein in "bad-acting" HOAs.
"I certainly think that it is beneficial to the HOA community at large to not take actions like they've taken against these folks because that's what stimulates us to advance legislation against HOAs because, in our opinion, we think that they're overstepping their rights," she said.
But despite their bad reputation, some people appreciate HOAs. In fact, resident Reginald Heidemann says, "There's nothing better than a strong HOA."
Heidemann said he painted his home four years ago when he noticed it was in need of a touch up.
"I take pride in my home," he said. "I'd be ashamed to have someone have to tell me I need to paint my house."
During the meeting, Heidemann loudly huffed at his neighbors' complaints.
"If you hate HOAs, go across Thunderbird (Road) ... and look at the homes over there. It's a mess," he said in an interview.
Butters said he's pretty sure the HOA is not going to change its mind, and that he'll be forced to spend $2,400 to paint his home. Right now, he's in the middle of some indoor home renovations. He feels those are necessary — the exterior paint job, not so much.
"Right now, (the paint job) doesn't bug me. (The HOA board members) bug me," he said.


Rachel Hanson, 28, is a creative writer from Minnesota, USA.
"I started writing about five years ago as a way to process some trauma that I've been through and to just make sense of the world.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Gender Studies and I'm currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Public and Non-Profit Administration. Outside of my writing, I work in higher education, supporting students pursuing their nursing or dental hygiene degrees.
Mostly, I've just worked on my craft on my own. This has been really nice because I'm definitely one of those people who likes to figure things out "the hard way". I did take a course during my undergraduate work on writing graphic novels and although I am not even remotely talented in visual arts that course has definitely influenced my writing style.
My biggest motivation in writing about being an ally in the space between privilege and oppression is really based on my own experience, as well as an experience I had following the results of the 2016 Presidential Election in the United States. My soul, at its deepest level, yearns for peace. When I expressed this need on social media I was told by some that trying to create peace was just a silencing tactic used to mute the voices of the oppressed. As a cis-gendered white woman who has a lot of privilege behind her, I struggled with this because I want to be an effective ally for my friends who are marginalized. But I am also a survivor of partner violence and I often feel that my experience is marginalized and I appreciate my allies working toward the peace that can be enjoyed by all.
Does wanting peace make me a bad ally?
The first part of my process can take months, or even years, as I mull over what it is that I want to say and how I want to say it. Sometimes it takes the shape of a non-fiction essay. Sometimes, it is a fiction piece. Less often (although here this applies) I will write a poem.
As a creative writer, Marian Keyes has a lot of influence on me. She really is an exceptional writer and I relate to her books (yes, even the cake cookbook). As I write poetry, I think of people I grew up with who wrote poetry to process their teenage experience.
My husband and daughters really are inspirational to me. I know that sounds cliché, but it is very true. Especially my little girls who are so excited in learning about their world. Nateanite also inspires me in what an exceptional parent he is. Being a parent is rewarding, but it is also really hard work. In addition to my own little family, I find inspiration in those around me who work hard for justice in difficult circumstances.
I am very passionate about animal rights, preventing violence in its many forms, and ensuring everyone has access to quality education.
I think that art saves us, and creates change, by encouraging us to look inward and then show the world (in one way or another) what is within ourselves. While we are not all the same, we all have something in common and when we're vulnerable through our art we show what we have in common and we can latch on to that and create positive change.
More than anything, creating art helps me to save my own sanity and to create (for myself) a world that is a little kinder and more understanding. It is my belief that if we all try to create these worlds for ourselves they'll intersect and that will save more lives than any one person could save on their own.
My goal, ultimately, is to just keep creating. If people like what I have to say I think that's great. If they don't, creating for myself is great too.
I find that the discrimination I experience most often in ageism (I look very young, so people often do not take me seriously). I think the best way to combat this is just to keep learning as much as I can and also look forward to the time when I do look the "right" age.
More than anything, I think that ignorance and fear are what cause discrimination.
I actively try to combat racism, mainly through my interactions with others by making them aware of how another person might have a different perspective on the same situation.
In some ways, labels and stereotypes can be helpful. For example, my oldest daughter is three years old and I have begun to use the label "threenager" for her. This is just a little verbal hint to me that E is entering a stage of her life where her brain is going through some serious change and the person I have gotten to know may act in ways that are completely surprising to me. On the other side, this label (or others) can be harmful because there are people that don't take teenagers, especially young women, seriously because they're "imbalanced." So a label or a stereotype can inform how you start to interact with someone and it can be a positive or a negative interaction.
In my opinion, there is not a single thing wrong with having pride in your nation or your national heritage. The danger lies in people elevating their national heritage above the heritage of others, or of not recognising that those within the same country do not have the same heritage as you and it's okay to have multiple identities within a nation.
What social privileges do you have? For example: are you white, able bodied/minded, a man, rich, heterosexual, thin… etc.
I am blessed with many social privileges, and I hope that my privilege can help me be an ally for those who are marginalised. I am white, cis-gendered, middle-class, "abled", heterosexual, university educated, a mother, and so on.
What social privileges of others around you have you experienced and how did this privilege of others affect you?
As I work in higher education, many of the people I work with have doctoral level degrees. That privilege influences me in both positive and negative ways. I strongly benefit from those who have doctoral level degrees and believe that they can use their knowledge to lift others up. However, there are those who use that level of education as a bludgeoning tool (they want to keep you in your place).
I am sorry to say that, for the most part, I think that social privilege makes our world a little poorer. There are those who, though self-enrichment is not their intent, are enriched because they use their privilege to bring others us. Although the intention is good, and I think people should continue to help one another, the playing field is still not even.
Do you feel social privilege should be taught at school and if so why and how young?
I think that social privilege is something we should be talking about in schools and other public spaces, and that it's important to start talking about it young. Police brutality is the reality for many Black Americans and so parents have to talk to their children about how to have a peaceful interaction with the people from a very young age. If my friend, who is black, has to talk to her little girl about how to be "nice" to the police when she is a toddler then I should be talking to my daughters about that too.
I do not. I am very much at a point in my life where I strive to lead by example, rather than being involved with any specific organisation.
I think that making art to create your own safe space is like a form of servant leadership. If you create a safe world for yourself, others will be empowered to do the same and we'll be able to see each other for the vulnerable people we really are.

Segmentation: The Neglected (Yet Essential) Control
Failure to deploy measures to contain unauthorized intruders is a recipe for digital disaster.
Throughout the past decade, the information security profession has pursued an approach centered around protecting the network perimeter. While this proactive strategy has become the foundation of most enterprise programs, organizations must be equally capable of reacting to attacks by containing intruders once they have entered the network.
Although identifying and mitigating perimeter threats is essential, the fact remains that cybercriminals and nation-state actors are, with alarming frequency, defeating the most-hardened networks. Therefore, it is imperative that practitioners acknowledge this dynamic and deploy containment measures to isolate intrusions.
Network segmentation is a critical weapon in the escalating battle to protect against unauthorized access.
The vast majority of cyberattacks originate within the most vulnerable area of an organization, the user environment. Once the initial compromise occurs through the use of stolen credentials or the successful delivery of a social engineering overture, those launching the attack enjoy a foothold from which to search for critical platforms and sensitive data. By dividing a network into segments and restricting lateral access, security teams are capable of containing intruders and dramatically reducing the entity's attack surface.
When intruders enter an inadequately segmented, or "flat," network, they often enjoy unbridled movement and will eventually gain access to payment applications, sensitive databases, and critical infrastructure systems. Through segmentation, these critical technologies may be isolated and thereby protected.
Although many high-profile and destructive cyber campaigns have been attributed to poor segmentation, perhaps the most widely reported incident was the 2013 Target breach. According to multiple sources, a group based in Eastern Europe breached the retailer's perimeter by first stealing credentials from one of the company's service providers, an HVAC vendor.
Once inside the system that monitors Target's heating and air conditioning functions, the cybercriminals were able to proceed, without detection, to the point-of-sale environment. Ultimately, malware was installed on approximately 36,000 payment terminals, allowing for the hackers to steal 40 million credit and debit card numbers from unsuspecting shoppers.
This scenario is the digital equivalent of a bank robber entering the lobby of a major financial institution and proceeding, unimpeded and without being noticed, to a vault containing its customers most-valuable items.
Management has long avoided the deployment of comprehensive network segmentation due to a variety resource and operability concerns. Recently, however, dramatic advances in enterprise software solutions provide practitioners with scalable, customized options to address this issue.
Prior to implementing a segmentation strategy, a clear consensus must be reached regarding an organization's sensitive data and critical platforms. Given that isolating these environments will be the ultimate goal, there can be no ambiguity on this issue. Also, it is necessary to map the existing communication paths and application dependencies within the network. Once these preliminary tasks have been completed, the following segmentation options may be considered:
Environmental: Isolates the most vulnerable environments, such as user and development, from the rest of the network and prevents intruders from breaching the low-hanging fruit and then moving laterally. This is known as the "coarsest" form of segmentation and should exist in every organization.
Application: Ensures that certain high-value applications are insulated from all others and provides an additional roadblock for attackers attempting to travel across applications.
Process: The "finest-grain" form of segmentation ensures that only active communications channels may be used and prevents any use of dormant paths.
The rapidly evolving nature of the cyber-threat landscape requires adaptive information security professionals. Although preventing intrusions is, and should remain, a primary goal, failure to deploy measures to contain unauthorized intruders is a recipe for digital disaster.

Segmentation vs Convergence
Segmentation becomes a 'hard sell' when many organizations are hell-bent on network convergence, at any cost. The cost is usually paid for in the form of a data breach.

It important to know the major ruptured appendicitis symptoms to recognize this disease early. The appendix is a small and worm-like appendage that is attached to the cecum – the beginning of the large intestine or colon.
This organ has no specific function, but it can get infected. There are many conditions that affect the appendix that you should be aware of.
It gets blocked with stool or by bacteria, and this can lead to production of mucus, which will eventually thicken and block the appendix leading to inflammation and swelling that may lead to the condition known as appendicitis.
This disease is a medical emergency that when left uncured for may lead to rupture of this organ in the human body and even severe and fatal infection. The rupture of the appendix is widely known to affect children and young adults.
Ruptured appendicitis in children is highest among males at the age of 10 to 14 years and in females aged 15 to 19. It affects more males than females between puberty and those in the 25 years of age bracket. Notably, it is low and rare in the elderly and in children under the age of two years.
It really important to know ruptured appendix symptoms. However, the widely experienced and indeed the first symptoms are on and off pain on the right side of the abdomen. This pain will in most cases gradually increase to a sharp and unrelenting pain that will be felt in and around the bellybutton.
Additionally, patients of appendicitis will also talk of pain around the lower quadrant of the abdomen, which becomes more painful when you walk, take a deep breath, cough or sneeze. Other symptoms of appendix problems include fever, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite among others.
There are many complications of appendicitis that are associated with this condition. The most common one is a blockage of the intestine. When the appendix gets blocked and inflamed, there is no easy passage of liquids or gas, and this may lead to nausea and vomiting.
Additionally, this blockage also affects the functioning of the intestinal wall making it hard for the body to digest food within a short duration. An appendix rupture typically occurs within 24 hours of noticing the symptoms. Therefore, you need to know how to diagnose a rupture of the appendix within the shortest time possible.
Careful examination is important when diagnosing a burst appendix. One also needs to provide his medical historical background for easy treatment. Even if caught early, one of the most recommended treatments for appendicitis is surgery to remove the appendix.
Here, the main goal is always to remove the appendix before it ruptures and spreads the infection to other parts of the body such as the abdomen or peritonitis. There are two possible ways the appendicitis surgery can be performed, either through laparoscopic or the traditional method. However, antibiotics treatment is not such effective as Appendectomy.
If you require this treatment, make sure you visit your doctor for early care. Early prognosis will assist in a quicker ruptured appendicitis recovery time.

Q: What is the best practice to set variables on the app with new carbon-route element In the polymer starter kit the whole app is wrapped in a template (id="app") as follows:

 <template is="dom-bind" id="app">
   ...

   <position-el id="editElemID" position-id="[[params.posId]]"></position-el>
   ...
 </template>

One of the ways I benefit from this style is that I can set some variables on the app when the route changes as follows:
page('/position/:posName/:posId/edit', function(data) {
  app.route = 'positionEdit';
  app.$.editElemID.edit = true;
  app.params = data.params;
});

Can I set variables on the app level in a similar way using the new carbon-route element?

A: Sure, carbon-route exposes a data param with the captured :segments of the URL pattern. These are exposed for easy data binding and observing.
