Bridging the gap between Satanists and Pagans
Posted in Satanism	by satanicviews
Despite the efforts by some on both sides to keep distance, Pagans and Satanists have a lot in common. For instance, both Satanists and Pagans have the common opposition of Christianity, and both have an affinity for horned archetypes.
Some in Satanism and from the Pagan side of the fence are exploring building bridges through social media. A reader of this blog has started a site on Facebook called The Devils Due for Satanists and Pagans to share ideas and network. An experimental social site by those connected to the Greater Luciferian Church catering for Satanists, Pagans and Luciferians has also been created called the NLE Project.

Alleged Satanic ritual abuse case shows how gullible people are
Following my article earlier this month about hysteria in the UK involving allegations of a Satanic cult ritually abusing and killing children in London, the truth finally hit the newspapers after an in-depth investigation by a high court found that the allegations were a total fabricated fantasy.
What seemed to have started as two children caught "touching themselves" was blown into a full-scale Satanic fantasy involving hundreds of people, schools and businesses in the Hampstead area of London. A weak-minded mother of two children was encouraged to assist a dominating new partner in her life, Abraham Christie, a man with a criminal history of dishonesty and violence, to torture and brainwash her children to make allegations of Satanic ritual abuse against scores of innocent people.
Newspapers such as Hampstead local newspaper Ham&High and UK national newspaper Guardian reported last week the conclusions of the High Court Judge Mrs Justice Pauffley, who condemned the actions of the mother, her partner Christie, and the army of gullible internet vigilantes that had inflicted serious emotional damage upon the children and many innocent people by inventing and repeating the fantasies of Satanic ritual abuse.
"The long term emotional and psychological harm of what was done to the children is incalculable. The impact of the internet campaign is likely to have the most devastating consequences for P and Q."
The allegations included:
"Specifically, it was said that babies were supplied from all over the world. They were bought, injected with drugs and then sent by TNT or DHL to London. The assertions were that babies had been abused, tortured and then sacrificed. Their throats were slit, blood was drunk and cult members would then dance wearing babies' skulls (sometimes with blood and hair still attached) on their bodies. All the cult members wore shoes made of baby skin produced by the owner of a specified shoe repair shop."
It was claimed that people might enjoy cooked baby with their fries at the local McDonald's restaurant:
"Rituals were performed, so it was claimed, in an upstairs room at the McDonald's restaurant where the "boss" allowed child sacrifice because he was a member of the cult. Human babies were prepared, cooked in the ovens within a secret kitchen and then eaten by cult members."
Whilst studying all the video tapes, audio and the many internet postings on this Satanic ritual abuse case, the misanthropic attitude of this Satanicviews writer hit a new low, questioning how gullible so many people could be to believe and propagate such fantasies. Since the findings of the judge, the mindless fools who believe these SRA claims now allege the judge is also part of an ever-growing conspiracy, and when this writer challenged them, they included this writer in with the conspiracy.
The summary of the judge is here, who made a great statement relevant to all the Satanic ritual abuse claims, none that have ever been proved:
"The individuals who have watched online film clips, read online articles and believed in the allegations would do well to reflect that 'things may not be what they seem' and that it is all too easy to be duped on the basis of partial information. There are many campaigning people, sadly, who derive satisfaction from spreading their own poisonous version of history irrespective of whether it is true or not"

A spring equinox solar eclipse on 20 March
For readers in Europe 20 March next week marks a natural double-event: the Spring Equinox and a solar eclipse.
The North of this world enjoys the Spring Equinox when day and night are equal on 20 March, whilst the South of this world moves towards Winter with the Autumn Equinox. In the late morning 20 March Europe, with parts of Asia and Africa, will be rewarded with a solar eclipse plunging day into darkness over a period of two hours. Svalbard in Norway and the Faeroe Isles will have a full solar eclipse, whilst locations such as London will experience a partial eclipse with as much as 90% of the sun blocked out.

Whats in a name? Satanism
In a world obsessed with image and branding it is occasionally suggested that Satanists should rebrand themselves with a new name, as if a new name will exorcise two thousand years of negative narrative against Satanism. In truth most Satanists care nothing for what others think, but for practical reasons must hide their Satanism from others because of the negative stigma that is attached to Satanism.
Satanism is a word, it is what the individual Satanist brings to the table that defines what Satanism is to that individual, rippling out to define Satanism to the rest of the world. Satanism to me is a powerful and effective paradigm, but there are too many people who enter Satanism who pollute the Satanic worldview with mediocrity and stupidity. I offer three strong qualities of Satanism, and how some fail to aspire to these qualities.
1. Critical Thinking.
Many come to Satanism because they asked questions whilst involved with the organized religions such as Christianity, their questions met with hostility, silence or ineffective answers. These individuals turn to alternative religions and philosophies for their answers, arriving eventually to Satanism. The ability to question, to look for the truth behind the manipulation, ignorance and falsehood is the mark of a liberated wise individual.
Too many come to Satanism, taking upon themselves this name, but seem unable or unwilling to accept the quality of critical thinking. These people set up and join groups such as Joy of Satan which embrace the same desire of the organized religions to deny the quality of critical thinking of their membership. One Joy of Satan member wrote on a recent Satanic forum that he was kicked out of JOS for asking questions; he like most former JOS members on leaving that group express an incredible naivety and lack of understanding of Satanism, born out of the suppression of critical thinking in that group.
2. Individualism.
Individualism is a major quality of the Satanist, the individual who has embraced a path away from conformity and slavery to the herd. Many in Satanism are critical of the organized religions, the sheep-like behavior of most of the followers of those religions. Large numbers of Satanists ironically behave like sheep, flocking to the group farms of groups such as Joy of Satan and Church of Satan. It seems to me a sheep in the Roman Catholic Church is no different to the sheep in the Church of Satan.
3. Authority.
A Satanic quality is that the individual has chosen to be the primary authority in their own life. Large numbers of Satanists have chosen to place groups, dogma, other Satanists and even Satan as the primary authority in their own lives, they choose to put themselves in the position of a slave to an external authority.
In the Joy of Satan, the spaceman they call "Father Satan" is always the master over the Satanist, and the leader of JOS, who profitably milks the JOS members like so many cows, tells the members how to think and act. Peter H Gilmore and his partner runs Church of Satan as a personal business, charging gullible Satanists $200 plus other fees for a membership card of his "church" without any other benefits. The COS seeks to be the primary authority of Satanism in their members lives, defining all aspects of Satanism as per the definitions of Gilmore and Anton Lavey, expelling members who disagree with their views.
A name is defined by the qualities the Satanist brings to the name.
The name Satanist is a word, it becomes whatever qualities Satanists bring to the word. I am sorry to suggest that over half of Satanists are little different from any follower of the organized religions, a sheep dressed up like a Satanist. Embracing critical thinking, individualism and the choice of placing all external authorities as second in authority to self in the individuals own life are in my opinion the three initial basic steps the individual Satanist should be taking if they really value being a Satanist; a change of name is meaningless.

Satanic books stolen from libraries
Satanists looking for books on Satanism in their local libraries in Eastern Oregon USA may be disappointed to find that their library is no longer stocking such books thanks to unknown thieves stealing all the books and failing to return them. Books on the occult, black magic and Satanism have been vanishing as quickly as they are being replaced, costing the libraries great expense, resulting in their decision not to replace the books. Another favorite book for the thieves are books on mushroom identification. Satanists can find plenty of free resources on any Satanic subject on the internet, including at this resource.

Satanic Ritual Abuse hysteria hits Britain
New allegations of Satanic Ritual Abuse have exploded recently onto the internet as the conspiracy theorists and Christian evangelists use two children as pawns to associate Satanists with the ritual abuse of children.
In September 2014 a brother and sister, evidently under coaching from their mother and her new partner "Abraham," made allegations against a London primary school, their father, teachers, other school children and their parents of ritual sexual abuse. Allegations included that babies were brought into the school, tortured with rat traps, murdered and eaten by the teachers, parents and pupils. The police investigation found no case to answer, the children retracted their claims, saying Abraham had through violence and pressure caused them to make the claims.
The children were taken into care, their father was given access to them. The legal representative for the children released the police interviews and other video testimony onto the internet revealing all the claims, identifying innocent people who were subject to the allegations. The internet conspiracy bloggers and other self appointed activists have during February 2015 spread the allegations which has caused a lot of distress to innocent people. The legal representative fled to Germany having broken the law by releasing the videos.
Because of legal and privacy issues Satanicviews needs to be cautious about what it can write about this case, but we feel it is in the public interest to provide links to some of the content to give the reader a useful insight in these false allegations of Satanic Ritual Abuse: how it can arise; the ease that a suggestible and imaginative child can be manipulated to say the most outrageous of stories; the ease by which adults can believe and propagate false abuse allegations without applying any critical thinking. We warn UK residents to be careful about what they write on this case as they could be in contempt of court.

Detroit Satanists go to war over animal sacrifice
In the former car manufacturing city of Detroit, the modern definition of a city in rapid decline, goats walk around nervously, as Satanists from oppositional points of view clash on the question of animal sacrifice in Satanism.
Like most issues connected to Satanism the sinister goings on in Detroit is complicated by personality and politics. On one side of the Satanic divide is one of the more successful and pro-active of the chapters of the Satanic Temple, the Detroit Chapter, represented by atheistic-leaning Satanists who oppose animal sacrifice. The opposing side is the pro-animal sacrifice members of the Temple of Satan based in Detroit under the leadership of a well-known colorful character in theistic Satanism called Tom Raspotnik, better known as Tom Blackwood.
Since the Detroit chapter of the Satanic Temple was founded in 2014 Tom Raspotnik has been engaged in a highly emotive campaign to discredit them by making various allegations, attracting the attention of lawyers representing the Satanic Temple to issue legal proceedings to curb his notorious habit to try to destroy the reputations of rival Satanic individuals or groups.
The very public clash between the two Satanic groups resulted in an article in the USA Today where Raspotnik put on public record his support for animal sacrifice:
"I've also just killed a goat and buried it," he said. "I just don't think it's that phenomenal to eat."
The media and internet flame war between the two Satanic groups involving allegations of harassment and criminal conduct took a new twist when members of the Satanic Temple started a campaign against animal sacrifice. Attention was drawn to an article in the media of the find of a baby goat that appeared to have been sacrificed and burnt, dumped in a public place in Detroit in August 2014, one month before the USA today article appeared revealing Raspotnik's interest in sacrificing goats. Members of the Satanic Temple started a petition on change.org against the Temple of Satan sacrificing animals in Satanic rituals, attracting at the time of writing nearly 1000 signatures. Raspotnik responded on his own blog claiming to be a victim of harassment by members of the Satanic Temple, and defending his right to sacrifice animals under US laws, comparing it as no different from eating meat.
Satanicviews considers the sacrifice of animals for religious purposes as backward, offering no tangible advantage to a Satanist. Whilst killing animals to defend the self from harm or for food is justified, the killing of animals on the basis of faith believing that it confers some advantage to the Satanist is a waste of an animal's life. The ongoing inane arguments between Temple of Satan and the Satanic Temple shows why the individual should seriously think about walking a path without affiliation to Satanic groups.

Mertesacker: We'd lost our way
StaffManagerTechnical staffTransfers
Per Mertesacker admits Arsenal lost their way trying to buy big stars to close the gap on other clubs at the top of the league but he's optimistic Mikel Arteta has things back on track.
While the Academy Manager didn't cite specific transfer duds or how far back he thinks mistakes were being made, he clearly hasn't been a fan of throwing money at players without an underlying philosophy being in place.
Last summer's business, which included the recruitment of six players aged 24 or under, marked a clear change in policy that, combined with the introduction and development of in-house talent, appears to be laying stronger foundations for the future.
"We are in a state of upheaval and are building a team capable of development, which should be peppered with players from our own youth and professionals from abroad," Mertesacker told German publication Suddeutsche Zeitung.
"In the meantime, we had lost our way. We tried to make the connection to the top faster with costly commitments. We fell on our face with that."
Mertesacker also praised manager Mikel Arteta for the clear guidance he is offering the young talents coming through the ranks while highlighting the Spaniard's coaching style is in contrast to Arsene Wenger, who regularly allowed players to make their own decisions.
"It is not easy to find successors who bring good ideas and who at the same time involve club employees," said the BFG.
"Mikel has a different knit than Arsene, is intense and focused. He tries to be very active as a trainer, to respond to the new generation and to clearly show what is required.
"The current generation needs more requirements, while in my time much more was regulated in dialogue with one another."

I feel like there's a difference between (1) people defending others/calling things out when it's something that people have historically been conditioned to just accept but shouldn't have to, and wouldn't need to accept, if only people would stand up for them (thinking typically along racial/gender/cultural lines, with the inappropriateness being tied to power dynamics), and (2) heightism – although admittedly I can't say I have first- or secondhand experience of heightism as I'm not especially tall or short myself and don't know of others being offended by remarks pointing out their tall/shortness.

When seeing the "reaction on Twitter" always remember that a few hundred thousand, self – selected, semi – professional whingers is not, by definition, representative of the population as a whole…

Chris- I can see you offended two readers with what you wrote!!
Tomaury Bischfeld
Was going to write a longer response to this it can basically be summarised as this:
*facepalm* + cry of existential despair x 1000
I have a couple of German friends who are football fans, and they love the fact that Gooners called Per 'The BFG'. And refer to 'don't mention the war (or score!) Thus proving that even they have a well developed sense of humour and their boundaries for 'being offended' are maybe larger than some of us others. But I myself might get offended by getting thumbs-downed after what i just wrote. Happy New Year, fellow Arsenal folk- and it would be nice to start the year with a good result on Saturday.
onenil
Love the honesty. As a club we were repeatedly doubling down on bad decisions, never admitting how bad things were getting until the fans were driven mad with frustration.
We are at the point were you can enjoy watching Arsenal again, and have some hope for the future. Per and the Academy has been a big part of that.
As long as Per is within the club I feel confident in our future anyway. He seems to have so much sense together with wanting to keep the club's identity and drive. Hard not to like him.
hosehead
He gives me such hope. We are lucky to have a genuinely good human being who happens to be capable in this position for our club.
A minor criticism. Per is translated as saying "we are in a state of upheaval" (in the present tense). I don't think he believes this. I don't speak German, but I bet that the sense of what he said is really "we are in a state of transition."

The Coal Curse: Resources, climate and Australia's future (Quarterly Essay 78)
by Judith Brett
Black Inc., $22.99 pb, 136 pp
The dual crises of the recent bushfires and the Covid-19 pandemic have exposed structural weakness in Australia's economy. Our export income is dominated by a few commodities, with coal and gas near the top, the production of which employs relatively few people (only around 1.9 per cent of the workforce is employed in mining). The unprecedented fires, exacerbated by a warming climate, were a visceral demonstration that fossil fuels have no role in an environmentally and socially secure future. Global investors are abandoning coal and, in some cases, Australia. Meanwhile, industries that generate many jobs – education, tourism, hospitality, arts, and entertainment – have been hit hard by efforts to reduce the spread of the virus.

What a chilling review! The last two paragraphs are especially dire. Cameron Muir's reference to "those who, like Brett, care about preventing what she calls the 'catastrophic fires and heatwaves the scientists predict'..." makes it sound as though he is referring to an obscure club of eccentrics who might just as well be concerned with some minor matter of aesthetics as a threat to our survival as a species. Judith Brett is distinguished among most academics as she has actively engaged with climate activism; most are content to watch on as though the event is an abstraction of no more interest than an intellectual puzzle. This review is more of the same.

"Non Dom" Legislation
« Copenhagen | Back to most recent briefing | Copenhagen »
Asked about the legislation that Harriet Harman had spoken about in PMQs today, the PMS referred people to what the Leader of the House had said on the matter. Generally, the Government had supported the principle that all MPs and peers should be UK taxpayers and the House of Lords White Paper last year made that clear.
The Government also legislated in the summer to require people giving large political donations to declare that they were residents and domiciled in the UK for tax purposes. The Government had already proposed that members of a reformed secondary chamber should be full UK taxpayers too. We would bring forward legislation to ensure that people who sat in either House were treated as resident, ordinarily resident and domiciled in the UK for tax purposes.
Asked when the legislation would be brought in and would it be part of the Constitutional Renewal Bill, the PMS said that it was a possible vehicle.

Q: Py2app compile app for older mac versions Hi, I'm developing a python program for mac, and I get an error when I try and use the application on an older version of Mac. For example, I'm developing on mac 10.8.2 and the application is not running on 10.7.*
Is there any way to compile the program (using py2app) so that it is compatible with older mac versions?
Thanks

A: http://packages.python.org/py2app/tweaking.html
This might shed some light.
You'll need to specify what platforms the application will run on otherwise it will default to the runtime libraries for your current OSX release (might be 64 bit for instance and old time macs with 32bit can't run it (as a rough example))
The same principle goes for Py2exe which does the same thing but for Windows binaries.
If you compile it on Win7, and try to run the binary on a XP machine, you'll get missing runtime dll libraries. Then you have to choices, either compile it within the app/exe or ship the runtimes with the application alongside the binary.
What you're mainly looking for in Py2app is the --resource parameter.
http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html#option-reference
--resource <comma separated list of resources> which will include not source code but libaries, images and whatever it is you need to ship to older platforms.

In late January and early February 2019, New Zealand was host to the World Long Range Championships and associated International team matches held every 4 years, as well as to their own National Championships. Scotland was well represented with 7 Scots travelling with the various GB teams.
This is a summary of the main Target Rifle shooting dates for 2019. There will be the normal programme of national and regional championship events in Scotland. The Scottish Open Championships will be on June 7th to 9th and the Scottish Long Range Championships will be on June 29th/30th – both events will be held on the Blair Atholl range. For 2019 there are some changes to the programme of events at the Bisley Meeting (July 17th to 27th ) which has been extended to celebrate the 150th Imperial Meeting since the first NRA Championships took place in 1860.


Tbilisi, Ilia Zdanevich's hometown, became a haven for artists of all stripes during the Russian Civil War. In this multi-lingual environment where feuds among artistic schools had been suspended, Zdanevich worked out the principles of "mature" zaum and a corresponding approach to book design.
This exhibition, curated by Thomas J. Kitson, begins before the First World War with Zdanevich's apprenticeship as a propagandist for the Larionov group in competition with Futurist rivals and proceeds through masterworks he designed and typeset as a founding member of 41°.
We include a selection of works by his brother and collaborator, Kirill, and a display of interconnected items associated with other poets, composers, and visual artists who frequented the Fantastic Tavern, center of Tbilisi artistic life between 1917 and 1920.
The exhibition is part of "Displacement and Display: The Ongoing Revolutions of Ilia Zdanevich," a Global Humanities project led by Professor Valentina Izmirlieva (Slavic Department) and sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Humanities at Columbia University.

Nelle Harper Lee, photographed by friend Michael Brown in October 1957, the same month that she signed the contract with Lippincott.
HarperCollins publishes Harper Lee's novel Go Set a Watchman today, July 14, 2015. With an initial print run of 2 million copies, this is the most highly anticipated book release of the year, carefully promoted by HarperCollins since their February 3rd announcement .
Go Set a Watchman's publication has also generated advance press in the form of controversy. HarperCollins has billed the novel as a sequel to the Pulitzer prize-winning and perennially best-selling To Kill a Mockingbird. But Lee's biographer Charles Shields asserts that Go Set a Watchman was an early draft of To Kill a Mockingbird.
In The Washington Post, Neely Tucker questioned the timing of the decision to publish the novel sixty years after its composition and within months of the death of Nelle Lee's protective older sister, Alice. Alexandra Alter and Serge Kovaleski in The New York Times have pointed out discrepancies in the narrative about GSAW's composition and re-discovery given by HarperCollins and Lee's current lawyer, Tonya Carter. NPR books also reviews the debate about the novel's genesis and the decision to publish.
The papers of Nelle Harper Lee's literary agents, Annie Laurie Williams and Maurice Crain, held by the Columbia Rare Book & Manuscript Library, have factored in these debates. The visitor cards kept by Williams track the submission of manuscripts by agency authors and provide a detailed timeline for the creation and eventual shelving of the manuscript for Go Set a Watchman. On the series of sequentially numbered cards above, one can see that starting on January 14, 1957, Harper Lee began delivering the pages of Go Set a Watchman at a steady pace of approximately fifty pages per week until it is noted as completed on February 27, 1957. The manuscript then underwent editing, and by October 17, 1957, a fully edited manuscript was sold to J.B. Lippincott without a title, a fact corroborated by Maurice Crain's facsimile of the contract in a contracts ledger, the first page of which is pictured below. Lee then spent two years revising the novel. On the third of the sequential notecards pictured above (note the typed numbers in the upper-right corner of the notecards), a new title for the novel contracted by Lippincott emerges: To Kill a Mockingbird. A separate card (below) from a file that Annie Laurie Williams kept for manuscripts also illustrates the change of title. Filed under Lippincott, To Kill a Mockingbird appears above Go Set a Watchman, which has been crossed out. This emendation and the sequence of submissions noted in the visitor cards supports Nelle Lee's comment that GSAW is the "parent" of TKAM, a novel set in Maycomb years after the plot of TKAM but drafted before. Annie Laurie Williams (1894-1977) was already a successful literary agent known for Hollywood successes such as Gone with the Wind (1939) by the time she and Maurice Crain teamed up as life and business partners. Together Williams and Crain handled the work of literary greats such as John Steinbeck and Nelle Harper Lee. Williams donated her and Crain's papers to Columbia University in 1971.
Nelle Lee first contacted the agents in 1956. The earliest visitor cards in the collection note that Lee first submitted short stories to her agents and that they first received her as a friend of Truman Capote. The papers of Williams and Crain show that they developed a close friendship with Lee, whom they often invited to join them at their weekend home in Connecticut. But documentation concerning Lee's writing and revision process is scant, perhaps because so much of the discussion was conducted in person.
A statement published in the WSJ yesterday by Tonja Carter, as well as Jonathan Mahler's New York Times article focusing on Lee's relationship to her editor at Lippincott, Tay Hohoff, suggests that there is more evidence to consider as this newly visible work changes the conversation about one of the country's most beloved novelists. Initial reviews of Go Set a Watchman (by Michiku Kakutani in The New York Times and Mark Lawson in The Guardian) have raised questions about the diverging racial politics of the two novels, for example. Hopefully access to a second work by Harper Lee will bring more critical and scholarly attention to her writing as well.

This talk addresses two major quandaries regarding the future of the (digital) scholarly book. The first has to do with the concept of 'book' when applied to books written for the screen and read on phones by generations that have grown up with the internet and touch screen devices. What role does a press have when 'books' are designed and coded by technologists, preserved on the cloud, and disseminated through social media? What implications does this have for the classroom? For academic institutions grounded in libraries? For legal and classification regimes such as copyright and ISBNs? The second question has to do with the changing understanding of scholarship itself. The speakers will provide examples from the digital books they have created to address these issues.

McMinnville graduation rates
McMinnville staff learn from each other and learn constantly
Matthew Jager, (left) a senior in Dan Willis' (right) ceramics class, says he transferred to McMinnville High School because they would push him harder and offer him more opportunities. "They connect it to life," he said. (Photo by Jake Arnold, OSBA)
Dan Willis, an arts and ceramics teacher at McMinnville High School, never went into a math class at his previous district. He wouldn't even see many of the teachers of his students' core subjects.
At McMinnville, he regularly observes other classes with a group of fellow teachers across disciplines. They take notes and discuss what they see, creating a cohesive language of learning at the school.
"What is something I can take and put into my classroom so I can carry that over?" he said.
Supportive staff training is a draw for teachers to come to McMinnville, a high-poverty community that wasn't always an attractive destination for teachers. Now McMinnville has an 87 percent graduation rate, among the best of Oregon's large districts. McMinnville is being held up nationally as an example of a district doing good things.
Embedded staff development is central to McMinnville's success, administrators say.
Embedded staff development
McMinnville's education approach starts with what are referred to as "high-leverage" teaching strategies. Staff review education literature and research, and they select teaching methods that are proven to get the best results with available resources. McMinnville administrators and teachers master the concepts and then become the trainers for the rest of the district. All teaching staff and administrators are trained on the same methods.
"We learn together," said McMinnville High School Principal Tony Vicknair. "What we learn at the high school is no different than they are learning at the elementary."
Everyone talks the same education language in all McMinnville schools, according to administrators. If teachers are talking about immediate feedback, growth mindset or common formative assessment, administrators and even support personnel understand the lingo.
At the elementary and middle schools, staff meetings are used to talk about teaching techniques, not the nuts and bolts of daily school operations.
At the high school, every staff member receives 45 minutes of staff development every other week during their prep time. Topics are approached in three sessions. In the first session, a group of about 15 talk about the strategy. The second session is spent observing peers in classrooms and in learning labs. The third session is for collaborative planning.
Strategies are usually taught by one administrator and one teacher across grade levels and content types.
"We really get to see and calibrate, 'What are you doing in your area to make this work for our students?'" said McMinnville High School Assistant Principal Veronica Chase. "It comes to life in a really powerful way."
The district holds additional night classes for training. Teachers don't get paid for that time, but they can earn professional development units and college credits.
Educators learn how to look at data, write a good assessment and then pick a strategy to help the student. Everyone learns the language, even school board members.
"At our work sessions we are educated every month on teaching practices," said School Board Member Janis Braich. "We understand what the teachers are doing."
Micah Houston teaches physical education, and he incorporates what he learns from teachers in sciences, arts and languages.
"It's more about: 'This is how you teach students,'" he said. "The focus is learning."
Jory Shene, a math teacher, says the goal is to make the education day seamless for all students. He says the training shows him how to improve his instruction, even in a hard sciences class.
"The answer doesn't change," he said. "The way we get to the answer might be different."

title: "Implementing an Abstract Factory"
---
{% include JB/setup %}

		Abstract Factory is a tremendously useful pattern when used with Dependency Injection (DI). While I've repeatedly described how it can be used to solve various problems in DI, apparently I've never described how to implement one. As a comment to an older blog post of mine, Thomas Jaskula asks how I'd implement the IOrderShipperFactory.

		To stay consistent with the old order shipper scenario, this blog post outlines three alternative ways to implement the IOrderShipperFactory interface.

		To make it a bit more challenging, the implementation should create instances of the OrderShipper2 class, which itself has a dependency:

public class OrderShipper2 : IOrderShipper
{
    private readonly IChannel channel;

    public OrderShipper2(IChannel channel)
    {
        if (channel == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("channel");

        this.channel = channel;
    }

    public void Ship(Order order)
    {
        // Ship the order and
        // raise a domain event over this.channel
    }
}

		In order to be able to create an instance of OrderShipper2, any factory implementation must be able to supply an IChannel instance.

		Manually Coded Factory #

		The first option is to manually wire up the OrderShipper2 instance within the factory:

public class ManualOrderShipperFactory :
    IOrderShipperFactory
{
    private readonly IChannel channel;

    public ManualOrderShipperFactory(IChannel channel)
    {
        if (channel == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("channel");

        this.channel = channel;
    }

    public IOrderShipper Create()
    {
        return new OrderShipper2(this.channel);
    }
}

		This has the advantage that it's easy to understand. It can be unit tested and implemented in the same library that also contains OrderShipper2 itself. This means that any client of that library is supplied with a read-to-use implementation.

		The disadvantage of this approach is that if/when the constructor of OrderShipper2 changes, the ManualOrderShipperFactory class must also be corrected. Pragmatically, this may not be a big deal, but one could successfully argue that this violates the Open/Closed Principle.

		Container-based Factory #

		Another option is to make the implementation a thin Adapter over a DI Container  -  in this example Castle Windsor:

public class ContainerFactory : IOrderShipperFactory
{
    private IWindsorContainer container;

    public ContainerFactory(IWindsorContainer container)
    {
        if (container == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("container");

        this.container = container;
    }

    public IOrderShipper Create()
    {
        return this.container.Resolve<IOrderShipper>();
    }
}

		But wait! Isn't this an application of the Service Locator anti-pattern? Not if this class is part of the Composition Root.

		If this implementation was placed in the same library as OrderShipper2 itself, it would mean that the library would have a hard dependency on the container. In such a case, it would certainly be a Service Locator.

		However, when a Composition Root already references a container, it makes sense to place the ContainerFactory class there. This changes its role to the pure infrastructure component it really ought to be. This seems more SOLID, but the disadvantage is that there's no longer a ready-to-use implementation packaged together with the LazyOrderShipper2 class. All new clients must supply their own implementation.

		Dynamic Proxy #

		The third option is to basically reduce the principle behind the container-based factory to its core. Why bother writing even a thin Adapter if one can be automatically generated.

		With Castle Windsor, the Typed Factory Facility makes this possible:

container.AddFacility<TypedFactoryFacility>();
container.Register(Component
    .For<IOrderShipperFactory>()
    .AsFactory());
var factory =
    container.Resolve<IOrderShipperFactory>();

		There is no longer any code which implements IOrderShipperFactory. Instead, a class conceptually similar to the ContainerFactory class above is dynamically generated and emitted at runtime.

		While the code never materializes, conceptually, such a dynamically emitted implementation is still part of the Composition Root.

		This approach has the advantage that it's very DRY, but the disadvantages are similar to the container-based implementation above: there's no longer a ready-to-use implementation. There's also the additional disadvantage that out of the three alternative here outlined, the proxy-based implementation is the most difficult to understand.

Patrick Szalapski

So what is the advantage to having the manually-coded factory in this example at all?  It violates the open/closed principle and provides a useless abstraction of the OrderShipper2 constructor.  (Or did you just mention it because it is an example of what not to do?)

Patrick, I just explained what the advantages (and disadvantages) are...

Nice article, thanks.

But i have a question. What if object, created by factory,  implements IDisposable? Where we should call Dispose()?

Sorry for my English...

2012-03-16 05:39 UTC

Rob

Good article, I hadn't considered the idea that a composition root can effectively span across factories. I guess it makes sense since most (all?) DI containers have a module system for binding, which is effectively a means of separating out the composition root.

Dmitriy

Sorry for offtopic. I have small bug report:

Often, when I open this blog from the google search results page, javascript function "highlightWord" hangs my Firefox. Probably too big cycle on DOM.

2012-03-16 10:30 UTC

Mark Seemann

About disposal, I can only think of two options - both of which are leaky abstractions: Either let the returned interface also implement IDisposable, or add a Release method to the Abstract Factory.

You can read more about this in chapter 6 in my book.

Regarding the bug report: thanks - I've noticed it too, but didn't know what to do about it...

You have cleand up my doubts with this sentence "But wait! Isn't this an application of the Service Locator anti-pattern? Not if this class is part of the Composition Root." I was not just confortable about if it's well done or not.

I use also Dynamic Proxy factory because it's a great feature.

I have read your book. :)

I thought about this "life time" problem. And I've got an idea.

What if we let a concrete factory to implement the IDisposable interface?

In factory.Create method we will push every resolved service into the HashSet.

In factory.Dispose method we will call container.Release method for each object in HashSet.

Then we register our factory with a short life time, like Transitional.

So the container will release services, created by factory, as soon as possible.

What do you think about it?

About bug in javascript ...

Now the DOM visitor method "highlightWord" called for each word. It is very slow. And empty words, which passed into visitor, caused the creation of many empty SPAN elements. It is much slower.

I allowed myself to rewrite your functions... Just replace it with the following code.

var googleSearchHighlight = function () {

		if (!document.createElement) return;

		ref = document.referrer;

		if (ref.indexOf('?') == -1 || ref.indexOf('/') != -1) {

			if (document.location.href.indexOf('PermaLink') != -1) {

				if (ref.indexOf('SearchView.aspx') == -1) return;

			}

			else {

				//Added by Scott Hanselman

				ref = document.location.href;

				if (ref.indexOf('?') == -1) return;

			}

		}

		//get all words

		var allWords = [];

		qs = ref.substr(ref.indexOf('?') + 1);

		qsa = qs.split('&');

		for (i = 0; i < qsa.length; i++) {

			qsip = qsa[i].split('=');

			if (qsip.length == 1) continue;

			if (qsip[0] == 'q' || qsip[0] == 'p') { // q= for Google, p= for Yahoo

				words = decodeURIComponent(qsip[1].replace(/\+/g, ' ')).split(/\s+/);

				for (w = 0; w < words.length; w++) {

					var word = words[w];

					if (word.length)

						allWords.push(word);

				}

			}

		}

		//pass words into DOM visitor

                if(allWords.length)

        		highlightWord(document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0], allWords);

	}

	var highlightWord = function (node, allWords) {

		// Iterate into this nodes childNodes

		if (node.hasChildNodes) {

			var hi_cn;

			for (hi_cn = 0; hi_cn < node.childNodes.length; hi_cn++) {

				highlightWord(node.childNodes[hi_cn], allWords);

			}

		}

		// And do this node itself

		if (node.nodeType == 3) { // text node

			//do words iteration

			for (var w = 0; w < allWords.length; w++) {

				var word = allWords[w];

				if (!word.length)

					continue;

				tempNodeVal = node.nodeValue.toLowerCase();

				tempWordVal = word.toLowerCase();

				if (tempNodeVal.indexOf(tempWordVal) != -1) {

					pn = node.parentNode;

					if (pn && pn.className != "searchword") {

						// word has not already been highlighted!

						nv = node.nodeValue;

						ni = tempNodeVal.indexOf(tempWordVal);

						// Create a load of replacement nodes

						before = document.createTextNode(nv.substr(0, ni));

						docWordVal = nv.substr(ni, word.length);

						after = document.createTextNode(nv.substr(ni + word.length));

						hiwordtext = document.createTextNode(docWordVal);

						hiword = document.createElement("span");

						hiword.className = "searchword";

						hiword.appendChild(hiwordtext);

						pn.insertBefore(before, node);

						pn.insertBefore(hiword, node);

						pn.insertBefore(after, node);

						pn.removeChild(node);

					}

				}

			}

		}

Does the manually coded factory really violate the OCP?

Granted, if the constructor to OrderShipper2 changes, you MUST modify the abstract factory. However, isn't modifying the constructor of OrderShipper2 itself a violation of the OCP? If you are adding new dependencies, you are probably making a significant change.

At that point, you would just create a new implementation of IOrderShipper.

2012-03-16 19:03 UTC

Mark Seemann

Good point, Steve. You're right... I hadn't thought it all the way through :)

2012-03-18 14:03 UTC

Mark Seemann

Dmitriy, if we let only the concrete factory implement IDisposable, then when should it be disposed? How can we deterministically signal that we are 'done' with it?

(Thank you very much for your assistance with the javascript - I didn't even know which particular script was causing all that trouble. Unfortunately, the script itself is compiled into the dasBlog engine which hosts this blog, so I can't change it. However, I think I managed to switch it off... Yet another reason to find myself a new blog platform...)

2012-03-18 18:25 UTC

Dmitriy

I think we should have some sort of Scope to handle the life time ending. In request-based application it can be request. If we need smaller life time, we can write our own Scope, based on some application-specific events.

Btw, another thing I think about is the abstract factory's responsibility. If factory consumer can create service with the factory.Create method, maybe we should let it to destroy object with the factory.Destroy method too? Piece of the life time management moves from one place to another. Factory consumer takes responsibility for the life time (defines new scope). For example we have ControllerFactory in ASP.NET MVC. It has the Release method for this.

In other words, why not to add the Release method into the abstract factory?

2012-03-18 21:54 UTC

Mark Seemann

Implicit scopes like an HTTP request can work pretty well when we can hook into the lifetime cycle of the scope itself. This is possible with HTTP requests, which is why many DI Containers can implicitly clean up when the HTTP request has been handled.

However, what if we have a desktop application or a long-running batch job? How do we define an implicit scope then? One option might me to employ a timeout, but I'll have to think more about this... Not a bad idea, though :)

2012-03-19 10:42 UTC

Dmitriy Startsev

In multithreaded applications we can use a Thread as a smallest scope.

But for a single long-lived thread we have to invent something.

It seems that there is no silver bullet in the management of a lifetime. At least without using Resolve-Release pattern in several places instead of one ...

Can you write another book on this subject? :)

2012-03-19 12:02 UTC

Mark Seemann

Dmitriy, I still need to think more about this, but AFACT in order to use a scope for decommissioning, there must be some hook that we can attach to in order to clean up when the scope ends. I'm not aware of such a hook on a Thread, but I must admit that I rarely do low-level work with Threads.

A Task<T>, on the other, provides us with the ability to attach a continuation, so that seems to me to be an appropriate candidate...

2012-03-24 08:46 UTC

Hennadii Omelchenko

Mark, how does Container-Based factory put up with Register-Resolve-Release pattern? For instance, if we have ten different factories, then we end up with at least ten 'Resolve' calls, and you state in your book that there must be only one, in composition root

2012-12-23 14:31 UTC

Mark Seemann

You could create each factory instance using the "new" keyword and register the instances with the container.

Or you could register the container with itself, enabling it to auto-wire itself.

None of these options are particularly nice, which is why I instead tend to prefer one of the other options described above.

2012-12-23 15:02 UTC

Julien Vulliet

Interesting article, one thing I'm wondering (apart from many other questions which would likely require a post or two on their own as an answer), isn't finally using the dynamic proxy solution somehow a hidden dependency to your container? You don't have explicit reference, but if you swap container you might have an issue with this being implemented differently (one container might prefer func, another one interfaces....), so finally you're not able to swap container that easily?

2014-02-28 22:58 UTC

Mark Seemann

			Julien, thank you for your question. Using a Dynamic Proxy is an implementation detail. The consumer (in this case LazyOrderShipper2) depends only on IOrderShipperFactory.

			Does using a Dynamic Proxy make it harder to swap containers? Yes, it does, because I'm only aware of one .NET DI Container that has this capability (although it's a couple of years ago since I last surveyed the .NET DI Container landscape). Therefore, if you start out with Castle Windsor, and then later on decide to exchange it for another DI Container, you would have to supply a manually coded implementation of IOrderShipperFactory. You could choose to implement either a Manually Coded Factory, or a Container-based Factory, as described in this article. It's rather trivial to do, so I would hardly call it blocking issue.

			The more you rely on specific features of a particular DI Container, the more work you'll have to perform to migrate. This is why I always recommend that you design your classes following normal, good design practices first, without any regard to how you'd use them with any particular DI Container. Only when you've designed your API should you figure out how to compose it with a DI Container (if at all).

2014-03-01 14:47 UTC

jam40jeff

Isn't the first option (manually coded factory carrying instance dependencies as factory dependencies) the only one which still allows for complete container verification?  If that is the case, wouldn't that alone trump any other reasons not to use this option?

2014-12-31 20:57 UTC

Mark Seemann

			Personally, I don't find container verification particularly valuable, but then again, I mostly use Pure DI anyway.

You may have noticed recently what with the weird mash-up between the Trump administration and celebrity power couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West that Kim has developed quite an interest in criminal reform.
And to her credit, unlike many celebrities who pontificate from Twitter while lacking any experience or even an informed vocabulary on the topics on which they lecture the rest of us, she's actually pursuing this interest beyond mere advocacy.
The woman who is one of the most videotaped people in the history of television who has every luxury in the world is actually studying and working towards her new goal: to be a lawyer, and it was all inspired by her work in criminal justice reform.
I have to say, I never thought I'd say this in a million years about Kim Kardashian, but that's actually really respectable.
According to Vogue, while the reality star does not have a college degree, she is not actually planning on going to law school. In California, apparently, aspiring lawyers have the option to take a rather unusual path towards passing the bar, "what is known as 'reading the law,' or apprenticing with a practicing lawyer or judge," Vogue explains.
Kardashian is currently doing a four-year internship at a San Francisco law firm and seems to be taking her studies pretty seriously, too.
What's more, it all seems to have begun in the White House.
She also spoke to her decision to speak with Trump at the White House in spite of warnings from her inner circle.
Again, that's actually really admirable.
She really doesn't care about the haters.
Well! I know my opinion of her has been changed a little bit. It had already improved after seeing the surprisingly level-headed way she stood by her not-so-level-headed husband, Kanye West, after he triggered the world with his bizarre tweets about Trump last year.

It's time of the year again and kids love Christmas. Here's a list of activities you can do with or for your child.
Kids love Christmas crafts. Santa craft ideas for kids are an easy and fun way to spend time with your kids during the holidays. Here are a few ideas to choose from.
Let's begin with Santa pictures. There are a variety of Santa coloring books available during the holidays. Choose a picture from the book. Cut out the picture of Santa, and place the picture in the center of a sheet of white construction paper. Use a glue stick to secure the picture.
Color the picture with crayons. Once the picture is finished, place cotton balls to cover Santa's beard, and one at the end of his hat. You can even glue black buttons for Santa's eyes, and a red button for his nose. Decorate the blank area of the white construction paper by drawing candy canes or trees. When the picture is completed, your kids can sign their names directly under the picture. Take a piece of cardboard and glue the picture to it. Place the picture in a frame, and place the frame in a special place in your home for all to see and admire.
Making Santa Christmas cards is another craft idea your kids will enjoy. Take a piece of white construction paper and measure the paper to a size of 5×7 inches. Cut the construction paper to that size. Fold the construction paper in half, either horizontally or vertically. Encourage your children to draw their own version of Santa on the front cover. Use crayons or colored markers. After the picture is finished, your kids can write Christmas messages on the inside of the card. Homemade Christmas cards are wonderful to display in your home or send to relatives and friends.
You'll need crayons and markers; cotton balls, a dinner-sized paper plate, and color sparkles. Draw Santa, without his red cap, on the plate using the crayons or markers. Add the cotton balls for his beard. You can even glue the cotton balls into a V shape so that Santa's beard hangs off the plate. The cotton balls can also be used for Santa's hair, too. Use a blue marker to color in Santa's eyes, and a black marker to draw Santa's glasses. Use red food color on a cotton ball to make Santa's nose. You can color the rim of the plate with red or green and add color sparkles to it. Finally, place the Santa plate on the tree by inserting an ornament hook at the top of the plate.
As you can see, there are so many different ways to involve your kids in creating, making, and decorating Santa Christmas ornaments, pictures, and cards.
The Christmas holidays are a wonderful time of the year, especially since the kids are home from school. Make the most of this time by making memories that will last. Creating Christmas decorations with your kids is a fun time for all. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
1. Tree Skirt: Find some felt material and design a tree skirt. Add beads, bows, sparkles and any kind of trim available to make this a one-of-a-kind skirt. Perhaps the kids would like to add pictures of Santa along the rim of the skirt. Another tree skirt idea would be to make a quilted pattern, using different plaids and solid colors. Decorate it with a fancy trim. It could not only be used for the tree, but as the base centerpiece for a vase of poinsettias.
2. Centerpiece: Another idea is to have your children gather together Christmas balls in various sizes and colors. Find a large clear vase or bowl and arrange them inside. You may want to add some holly as well. This colorful display would make a lovely centerpiece for your table.
3. Christmas Card Holder: Here is a creative idea for storing your Holiday cards. Start with an empty Kleenex (or tissue) box, and cut out the top rectangular part of it. Wrap it in Christmas paper, and use it as a Christmas card holder. Decorate it with holly and ivy. Then, attach a ribbon to both ends and you have a beautiful homemade Christmas card basket.
4. Paper Chain: An old standby is to take several different colors of construction paper and cut them in strips. Then attach two ends of the strips together (with a stapler, glue or tape) to form a circle. Continue by looping another cut strip inside that one. When it's long enough, wrap the chain around your Christmas tree.
5. Candy Chain: While stringing popcorn or beads around a tree is a tried and true tradition, how about using Lifesavers candy? Your kids can choose the color order or even try to make patterns. Use different color twine or ribbons to give it a Candyland touch. Add candy canes as well. Since both candies come in their own wrapping, just use a needle through the Lifesavers wrapping. After the tree is taken down, they can be fun snacks to eat.
Christmas decorations are a great way of expressing the holiday spirit in your home. The kids will love creating them, and be proud to have their art displayed. And, instead of looking like a department store, your home will become a reflection of the family that lives in it.
Here are some ideas to throw the perfect Christmas party at home for your kids.
If you are using your basement or family room, add a small decorated tree. Even a tabletop tree or a construction paper tree on the wall will work.
Hang red and green streamers across the ceiling or from one end of a wall to another; and hang a "Merry Christmas" sign on the wall.
Before the guests arrive, get out your Christmas CDs and play them until the party is over.
Once the guests have arrived, you are ready for the party to begin.
Play musical chairs, using jingle bells or any Christmas song for the music.
Play charades. Kids are very animated, and would love this game. Choose Christmas-related words like: gift, Santa, elf, tree, Snowman, etc.
Play "Santa Says" – a fun Christmas version of "Simon Says" for kids.
If any child can dance or sing, invite him/or her to give a performance.
Have a sing-a-long to the Christmas music.
Play "finish the Christmas story." Have an adult begin a story about Santa or an Elf, and then ask each child to add a line or two. Once the story is concluded, the story can be printed out by another adult who has been writing down each line. Give each child a copy of the story, and have the kids sign the story as a keepsake.
For the big finale, have an adult dress up as Santa Claus and hand out Christmas stockings to each child. Ensure the child's name is on each stocking. Fill the stockings with goodies, such as: candy; small dolls; toys, or whatever is fitting, but inexpensive.
Take pictures as Santa hands out the presents. Have several copies made for the kids so they will have a lasting memory of the party.
Whatever Christmas party ideas for kids you select, you can be sure that anything you do will not only be appreciated, but will give all the kids an opportunity to have a great time with their friends.

Partners aims to streamline imaging with single radiology system
Fred Bazzoli
January 18, 2019, 3:48 p.m. EST
Partners HealthCare is taking steps to streamline its imaging systems by implementing an integrated enterprise imaging platform.
The move will reduce a multiplicity of radiology platforms that have been in use at Partners facilities, its executives say.
Partners has signed a contract with Visage Imaging, a San Diego-based vendor that's a wholly owned subsidiary of Pro Medicus. Partners was formed in 1994 through the combination of Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Under the contract, Partners will first implement the Visage 7 Enterprise Imaging Platform at the system's two flagship hospitals; then, the system will be expanded to other Partners network hospitals in a second phase.
Planning for the rollout has begun, with Massachusetts General and Brigham and Women's scheduled to be implemented in mid-2019.
Under the plan, Visage 7 will become the central component of the Partners Radiology Enterprise Platform (PREP), which is intended to be a central component of the plan to eliminate multiple legacy PACS; it will enable Partners radiologists to have immediate access to all prior patient imaging studies, no matter where they have been conducted.
Partners institutions use the Epic electronic health records system, but hope to gain efficiencies from moving to a single radiology platform, executives say.
"We are providing our radiologists with a diagnostic viewer and common radiology platform that will transform our practice and accelerate our ongoing efforts to improve the care we provide to our patients," said Stephen Ledbetter, MD, medical director of medical imaging IT at Brigham Health. "Moving to this enterprise platform will require enhanced collaboration, but we know that it is only by working together to scale our best practices across the system that we are able to extract value and realize the full potential of this effort."
"The new platform and our efforts to improve workflows will provide radiologists with dramatically better functionality and make it easier and more efficient for clinicians to read images and access information about their patients -- whether they're in the office or the operating room," said Tarik K. Alkasab, MD, radiology service chief of informatics and IT at Massachusetts General. "We believe that the new platform will truly elevate the ways that we use imaging in the delivery of care, and we see enormous potential for future collaboration with our radiology colleagues across the system."

Huard: Why Boston College RB A.J. Dillon is a good fit for the Seahawks
Apr 21, 2020, 9:31 AM | Updated: 9:32 am

BY BRANDON GUSTAFSON
Assistant Editor of SeattleSports.com
It's draft week and once again, there's some thought that the Seahawks will use one of the early-round picks on a running back.
Clayton: Why Seahawks have found success with draft-day trades
Head coach Pete Carroll is known for wanting to run the football and with injury and depth issues at the position, drafting a running back this year makes a lot of sense.
"For me, with Chris Carson's hip and without seeing him and evaluating him and working with him and being hands-on this offseason and Rashaad Penny's knee, I think there's too much risk to not take a running back at some point in this draft," former NFL quarterback Brock Huard told 710 ESPN Seattle's Danny and Gallant Tuesday morning.
Carson suffered a season-ending hip fracture in Week 16 and Penny tore his ACL in Week 14. Other than those two, 2019 sixth-round pick Travis Homer is the only running back on the roster, so adding to the position appears to be a need for the team.
If the Seahawks decide to draft a running back, which one would fit in Seattle's offense?
Huard has been a vocal advocate for Wisconsin's Jonathan Taylor due to his size and speed, as well as his productivity and durability during college. You can read more about Huard's thoughts on Taylor here.
But in order for the Seahawks to draft Taylor, they would likely need to draft him with one of their three picks in the first two rounds. If Seattle decides to pass on Taylor and address the position later, Huard says a name to watch for is A.J. Dillon, who played at Boston College.
"He's 250 pounds, he ran a 4.5 (40-yard dash), he (vertical) jumped 41 inches," he said. "He just can be a man among boys."
Dillon was extremely productive during his three years at Boston College. He burst onto the scene as a freshman, running for 1,589 yards and 14 touchdowns in 13 games. He followed that up with 1,108 rushing yards and 11 total touchdowns in 10 games as a sophomore and then 1,685 rushing yards and 15 total touchdowns last season as a junior.
With a career 5.2 yards per carry, Dillion was a bruising back who was hard to take down.
"From just a pure physicality standpoint and running through people and running over people, that is one of the traits that (Seahawks general manager) John Schneider always looks for is who is one of the hardest running backs (to tackle)," Huard said. "A unique guy at his size and his explosion would be A.J. Dillon of Boston College and I'd keep a lookout for him."
Drafting running backs is nothing new for the Seahawks.
Carroll and Schneider's first draft together in Seattle was in 2010. That year as well as in 2011, the duo did not draft a running back, due in part to having traded for Marshawn Lynch early in 2010. That's changed since then.
From 2012 to 2019, Seattle has selected a running back in all but two drafts. Not only that, but the Seahawks have drafted running backs all throughout the draft.
"Did you realize that the Seahawks have drafted a running ball back under Pete Carroll and John Schneider in every single round of the NFL Draft?" Huard asked Danny and Gallant. "… (And) they've drafted a running back in (six) of the 10 classes and one year, they drafted three running backs."
Those backs by round are:
First: Rashaad Penny, 2018
Second: Christine Michael, 2013
Third: C.J. Prosise, 2016
Fourth: Robert Turbin, 2012
Fifth: Alex Collins, 2016
Sixth: Travis Homer, 2019
Seventh: Zac Brooks, 2016 and Chris Carson, 2017
If you include fullbacks, the Seahawks have drafted a running back in seven of the 10 classes, as Keiro Small was selected in the seventh round of 2014. Additionally, Spencer Ware, who played running back in college and on other teams in his NFL career but Seattle used predominately as a fullback, was selected in the sixth round in 2016. If you include those two, Seattle has taken 10 backs since 2012.
With that history as well as the injury and depth concerns at the position, it certainly would not be a surprise for the Seahawks to draft a running back sometime this week.

Hey!! I know I'm late for this review!! So by the chance you won't read it?
Please DON'T! I just wanna share my thought for you all!
Overall, I'm kind of little bit disappointed for this album! They did so DAMN PERFECT in their last Japanese album 'T' (The best album ever released by them I think)! But I just have some songs to my top rating in this album! My lovely part of this come back is their looking! Hwaaaa….. our cute TVXQ has gone, they back with a GENTLE looking now and it's so good! Zzzzhhhh…. So nice to see them always like that!
01. WRONG NUMBER – yeah.. Junsu get the first! *My Bling Bling love* I Love the chorus and the translation is so catchy! All the fanatic girls will be knocked by this song! I'm really so fond to the lyric! It'll be cool if I put it for my ringtone (only for the chorus), especially for the prank number that like to ring on me…LOL! JeJung did the best but it's not mean that I think his Rap is COOL!! This is the first time I hear he rapped! It is a FORCING rap! So … let's check the next track!
02. Don't Cry My Love : It didn't grow well on my ear previously. JeJung in the first, he sounded so lovely. Then YunHo, I would like to hear more parts of his voice now. I always feel that he has a different voice, he sounds more harsh and well it's great. My favourite part is JUNSU's part of course. Because I love Junsu's voice. Anyway,TVXQ has many ballad tracks that better than this one. The second verse, I think ChangMin's part must not available, Junsu sounds so spectaculer before,but then Chang Min sounds his part with a calm voice. It's not suit. Junsu's ad-libbing is only the PERFECT part in this song.
03. MIROTIC – This song was built by Remee and Thomas Troelsen who also join in BoA's American debut team! My first impression for this song is MESSY!! I really can't get into it before. But day by day… I Love this song! Junsu did the best maybe! Yeah… my JUNSU © I love Jejung's part in the first, his voice is TREMBLING! Haha..LOL! Anyway, Junsu and Max get an error pronounciation! Junsu says "Red Ocean" with it's going like "Ledu Osion", and Max says "Chrome Heart" similar like "Geurom Heart"… hahaha so Freaky indeed! Ok! It's depend on their accent and sometimes they need to pronounced the english line like the korean phrases. If you hear the instrumental, it's so repetitive! Do you know some rumours tell about MIROTIC is similar to Sarah Corner's song, especially the beat.. I just hope that it won't spread over! Does it mean that I spread the rumour from this blog? *Stupid Me* Please over it! Totally this is a great track!
04. CRAZY LOVE – What is the real style of this song?? My rating for it is low! I can't get used to it.
05. HEY! DON'T BRING ME DOWN – I got 2 versions of this song! It's not too different! The difference is just the intro (Yoochun's part). The first version that I get on the album, Yoochun-oppa said "Break it down now Break it down now" but in another song that I get for my FS music layout, Yoochun-oppa said "Give it away Give it away" and the song is shorter! I Love the album version more! Actually this is the best upbeat song over this album. I'm fallin' for it at the first time! Their dance move for this song is so…………. KNOCK DOWN, especially Jejung-oppa's scream "Aaauuwww… ! I think this song is better than MIROTIC! Hehe….
06. Wish : This is one of the best track from the new added songs. I just heard Junsu dominated the song and Chang Min followed. Hahaha… it's never mind. Hey…. this is not whole of DBSK. I heard some different voices such as Kyu Hyun and Ryeowook. Haahh… I think I'm right! Nice combo^^.
07. YOU ARE MY MELODY – I forget the Korean title! This is a relaxed song, I'm not so over to this song before. But for some reasons this song is kinda reminds me for…. Something that I can't describe. It's really good to hear it within the sunny day. And for their voice harmonization, I just listen Junsu's pronounciation "IT'S YOUR LOVE YOUR LOVE" … hakhakhak.. *laugh* what's wrong to his accent!
09. MUJIGAE [Rainbow] – It catch an acid jazz! A light song… but I can't so enjoy this music style! GREAT TVXQ always try a new different music style!
10. Love Bye Love : When I heard the intro I think I won't like this song. The girl talks on the phone, It's remind me to Stephanie's voice in NEAR. Actually she is Go Ahra. I can't understand because she speaks in korean. My favourite part is the Rap. Is it Junsu's rapping? I think! JUNSU RAPPED!! Ohh… So long time never hear his rap again since Free Your Mind in last album Rising Sun. But this song still be my lowest rating in this album. I just hear the ballad over this album!
11. NAKWON [PARADISE] – OH'MY'GOAT!!!!!!!! This is a PARADISE SONG! I trust it is a slow R&B track! I LOVE this music style! I LOVE IT! LOVE IT! IT! Haaaaahhh….. Why does R&B always flow well on my ear? You're all boys! You must try this song if you wanna apply for a girl! REALLY! The lyric tell that the boys describe their paradise feeling if the girls always inside them, they become so greedy to make the girl as their wife. NOT KIDDING!
12. AKNYEO [ARE YOU A GOOD GIRL?] – I don't like this song! It's like a style of house music remix (maybe called like that). Imagine if all their tracks are like this! Does it make sense?
13. FLOWER LADY – It's just a Korean version of Dru – Stay With Me Always. From the title I can guess this is a nice romantic song! Yes! Allright! TVXQ sound so soft! My first impression for this one is same with You Are My Melody! JeJung's ad-libbing n the end… it's freaky! He said STAY WITH ME TONIGHT!
14. Don't Say Good Bye : A classic title. I'm so boring with a title like ONLY YOU, Don't Say Good Bye, My Girl, With U, My Love, I Believe and what else? Back to this song. It heard like a mellow song that released on 90s. Especially the chorus when Junsu or YooChun say "Don' Say Good Bye"! It's felt so old. And Uknow's part "You're My Love,You're My Soul"… hyaaa I don't know why I'm so greedy to Uknow's voice now! But Junsu still the perfect singer for me!
15. FORGOTTEN SEASON – Jejung soloist in this song! Forgotten season is a hit song around 1980s! Yeah… Just properly I feel an old element! This Album configuration reminds me to SHINee World Album! JongHyun also did a soloist in near of last track! Hmmm,… we can't judging them, they release the album in near date so we don't know what's the planning of Mr. SM!
16. LOVE IN THE ICE – Changmin-oppa wrote the lyric! A good translation over the Japanese version! The song is great too but I much prefer the Japanese version! I Love YooChun's scream in the near of the end… He also do that in Picture of You! hahaaa Why Do I always crazy over for the freaking voice, dramatic screaming and R&B element?? It's depend on me… Yeah Alright! It's me .. I Love TVXQ! They're great in everything! HWAITING!
