Citizens United in 2016: the Decision, the Donors, and the Donald
Happy sixth birthday, Citizens United! In honor of the opinion we've come to know and love (to hate), we're revisiting the decision and its impact this election season.
What changed the Justices' minds in those twenty years?
Nothing. Not a single justice shifted positions from 1990 to 2010, but we saw a significant justice swap in that time. That's how Justices Kennedy and Scalia, who dissented in favor of corporate speech in Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce in 1990, re-emerged in 2010 as the majority with the help of the more-recently appointed Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Thomas and Alito. Meanwhile, Justice Stevens, the only justice left from the Austin majority, found himself outnumbered in Citizens United.
Refresher: Why is Citizens United problematic?
Take it from the others on the bench. These bits come from Justice Stevens' dissent.
"Corruption can take many forms. Bribery may be the paradigm case. But the difference between selling a vote and selling access is a matter of degree, not kind."
"It might also be added that corporations have no consciences, no beliefs, no feelings, no thoughts, no desires. Corporations help structure and facilitate the activities of human beings, to be sure, and their 'personhood' often serves as a useful legal fiction. But they are not themselves members of 'We the People' by whom and for whom our Constitution was established."
"At bottom, the Court's opinion is thus a rejection of the common sense of the American people, who have recognized a need to prevent corporations from undermining self-government since the founding, and who have fought against the distinctive corrupting potential of corporate electioneering since the days of Theodore Roosevelt."
Anything else, Justice Stevens?
"While American democracy is imperfect, few outside the majority of this Court would have thought its flaws included a dearth of corporate money in politics."
*mic drop*
The Donors
But on the off chance that you were worried about the dearth of corporate money in the 2016 election – fear no more! In 2016, super PACs and corporate spending are alive and well. It's only January, and they've already spent nearly four times the $42M spent by the candidate's actual campaigns. Right to Rise USA, the super PAC supporting Jeb Bush, has alone spent $61M in advertisements thus far… only ten months to go, and Right to Rise had better get moving if it wants to keep up with the Koch network's budget of almost $900M for the 2016 election.
Since Citizens United, voters (especially minorities and low-income citizens) have lost faith that their voices matter in comparison to those of big corporate donors. Some candidates have tried to respond – both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders emphasize campaign finance reform as a major issue on their platforms, and they pledge to only appoint justices that would overturn Citizens United (because we all know how well predicting how justices will decide has gone in the past!).
However, backlash against Citizens United might play out in a different way this year. Sanders is becoming increasingly competitive with Clinton, as he capitalizes on the fact that he's the candidate without a super PAC. Or, rather, one of the candidates without a super PAC. Because he's not the only candidate who's benefited from taking a stand against corporate donors…
The Donald
The most confusing beneficiary of the Citizens United backlash may well be billionaire-turned-Republican front-runner Donald Trump. Trump has consistently said he can't be influenced like his opponents because he's "not taking special interest money" and is instead "self-funding his campaign" (note: he's not actually self-funding his campaign), and some commentators suggest that, similar to Sanders, he's racking up grassroots support as the Washington outsider candidate because voters are really that tired of corruption and influence.
To reiterate: some voters who are flustered by the influence of corporate money in elections have turned to Donald Trump for help. But don't worry, because the Supreme Court told us that unlimited election spending by corporations won't cause the electorate to lose faith in our democracy.

Designer Kate Spade found dead in her New York apartment

The fashion designer Kate Spade has been found dead in her New York City apartment in an apparent suicide. Police officials said said that Ms Spade (55), was discovered unresponsive at the Park Avenue apartment. She was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:26am after being found unconscious in her bedroom by her housekeeper who called 911.
Ms Spade's husband was at the scene, according to police.
"We are all devastated by today's tragedy," the Spade family said in a statement. "We loved Kate dearly and will miss her terribly. We would ask that our privacy be respected as we grieve during this very difficult time."
Her Kate Spade New York brand grew into a fashion empire, known for accessories that offered affordable luxury to younger working women. Her brightly colored, clean-lined style offered a spunky take on fashion at time when luxury handbags were out of reach to most consumers, and the industry was dominated by venerable European brands.
Kate Spade New York released a statement calling the news "incredibly sad." "Although Kate has not been affiliated with the brand for more than a decade, she and her husband and creative partner, Andy, were the founders of our beloved brand," the statement said. "Kate will be dearly missed."

Fans of the brand began posting pictures of their favorite handbags on social media in reaction to the death. Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former US President Bill Clinton, was among celebrities to mourn Spade on social media. "My grandmother gave me my first Kate Spade bag when I was in college," she wrote on Twitter. "I still have it."
Born Kate Brosnahan in Kansas City, Missouri, in December 1962, Kate Spade was one of the first of a powerful wave of female American contemporary designers in the 1990s.
She built a brand on the appeal of clothes and accessories that made women smile, her cheerful lack of restraint and bright prints striking a chord with consumers. She herself was the embodiment of her aesthetic, with her proto-1960s bouffant, nerd glasses and kooky grin, which masked a business mind that saw the opportunities in becoming a lifestyle brand, almost before the term officially existed.
Ms Spade, who had been the accessories editor of Mademoiselle magazine, founded Kate Spade with her husband-to-be, Andy, in 1993. Frustrated with the handbags of the era, which she found to be over-accessorized, she had wanted "a functional bag that was sophisticated and had some style," she told The New York Times in 1999.
She did not know what to call the company at first and decided to make it a combination of the names of the co-founders. After the first show, she realised that the bags needed a little something extra to catch people's eyes. She took the label, which originally had been on the inside of the bag, and sewed it to the outside. With that gesture, she created a brand identity and her empire.
Within a few years, she had opened a store in SoHo, Manhattan, and was collecting industry awards, her name a shorthand for the cute, clever bags that were an instant hit with career women and, later, young girls, status symbols of a more attainable, all-American sort than a Fendi clutch or Chanel bag.
In 1999, the Spades sold the business to Neiman Marcus Group, which sold it to Liz Claiborne Inc. in 2006. Spade became the very visible face of her brand.
Kate Spade New York has over 140 retail stores across the US and more than 175 shops internationally.
The Spades left Kate Spade in 2007 and devoted themselves to other projects. Ms Spade dedicated herself to her family and to philanthropy, and in 2016, with her husband and two friends, launched a new venture, an accessories label called Frances Valentine. She was so committed to the project that she told interviewers she had changed her surname from Spade to Valentine. – New York Times Service, Reuters

Sports Video Analyzer Gets Venture Cap
Bluefin Labs has already scored $500,000 in grants
SOMERVILLE, MASS.: BluefinLabs, a tech start-up that analyzes and catalogs sports video, has raised an undisclosed amount of money from Kepha Partners as well as $500,000 in grants, according to TheBoston Globe. The grants are from the National Science Foundation's Small Business Innovation Research moneys. Kepha Partners is a venture capital firm in Waltham, Mass. Other current investments data-migration software for Windows; a multiplatform, mobile content company and a new search engine.
Bluefin's software analyzes sports footage for a type of action and makes it searchable.
"Imagine being able to view all of the strike-outs in a baseball game by the starting pitcher, or the field goal attempts in a football game, without needing human beings to tag and index the video manually," the Globe's Scott Kirsner notes.
Bluefin's technology grew out of Ph.D work by Michael Ben Fleischman at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Fleischman, Frank Moss, Andy Palmer and Deb Roy are said to be launching the company. Kirsner said a name-change is likely as well.

For this particular project I choose Frank Lloyd Wright. Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was born in Richland Center or nearby Bear Valley Wisconsin. There is some speculation as to where exactly, but this area was vastly prairie and lacking true and absolute boundaries. He was the son of a musician, who had left his family behind when Wright was a very young child. He spent a predominant amount of his childhood with his mother, Anna, and her sisters on a farmland area near Spring Green Wisconsin. The area was recognized for, and still is, the rolling lush hills and beautiful open fields required for the farming and dairy industry that supports the majority of the states revenue.
Wright briefly attended the University of Wisconsin and had shown a tremendous aptitude for drawing. When he left Wisconsin, in 1887, he was in search of a larger and more modern environment that would allow him to practice the area of art that he had specialized in, engineering and architectural design. He took work at the architectural firm of Adler and Sullivan, where he refined his skills and then left to pursue his independent architectural life. Wrights life was interesting, including his marriages.
Due to the divorce from his first wife, with whom he had six children, he found himself losing business due to the scandalous behavior associated with that. Although he did marry twice more, I imagine that being a father of 6, married for twenty years was very important to his social standing. The first relationship was after his divorce was brief, and he then went on to marry his third wife Olgivanna. He would always refer to her as his true love, the woman with which he was able to express his artistic feelings in a restful and nurturing environment. It was nineteen twenty seven and he was ready to create. He returned back to Spring Green and started the construction of his home / studio.
There, he built a home and studio that he called Taliesin after a Welsh word meaning "shining brow", a reference to the building's situation, clinging to the brow of a hill. Tragedy struck in 1914, when a servant at Taliesin murdered Cheney, her two children, and four other people, and set the house on fire. Wright began rebuilding Taliesin soon afterward. From the Taliesin location, Wright took on apprentices in his architectural principals. Those students who came to study with Wright, also learned to farm the land at Taliesin. A little barter for education was another ingenious way for Wright to be able to work and write as his heart desired.
And as his passion dictated. In the mid nineteen thirties, Wright fell in love with the simplistic and serene lines of the desert. When he was visiting Scottsdale, he purchased some land and decided to build there. So when the winters in Wisconsin came, Wright and the students went to Arizona to continue working. Can you imagine being able to inspire the top art students in your state to live and farm your land, just to work with you? What could be a more fabulous opportunity to be able to fully understand the architecture that you are drawing by living in it and creating it as the "master piece" Wright envisioned?
During this time Wright was lecturing and writing, with a book called "The Future of Architecture" published in 1953. So where in his life to this point was he genius? I would have to say that the original building design he was doing from Taliesin was as beautiful as any painting ever done. Wright carefully avoided doing anything that would have been considered a personal style or a mass production idea.
Through all his designs, he used the principals that he termed "organic architecture". What this meant was that every building should relate harmoniously to its natural surroundings and that a building should not be a static, boxlike enclosure but a dynamic structure, with open, flowing interior spaces. Did you know one of the definitions of dynamic is ever changing? This is something to keep in mind regarding his work.
There are homes that he designed with walls that are moveable, or removable! Do you see genius yet? To achieve these organic designs, he used geometric units, or modules, that generated a grid. The first modules were squares, but Wright later used diamonds, hexagons, and other geometric shapes, upon which he laid a free-flowing floor plan. Another device Wright favored was the cantilever-a long projection (often a balcony) that was supported at only one end. The grid and the cantilever freed Wright's designs from being merely boxes with openings cut into them.
During the 1890's, Wright proved his mastery of the architectural ideas of the time. Instead of pursuing those ideas, he decided to use his uncommon view of organic architecture to develop the prairie house-a long, low structure that hugged the Midwest prairie. The flat low level ground provided him a perfect "canvas" to build on, and with its shallow roof, (basically flat, think Japanese when your visualizing this) the lines of the house were predominant. Wright loved long clean lines, and disliked basements. So beginning with the William Winslow house (1893) in River Forest, Illinois, his first solo project as an architect, his buildings were put directly on the ground. No cellars, no crawl spaces.
The first prairie house, the Ward Willits residence (1901) in Highland Park, Illinois, followed a cruciform, very much like a cross shaped pattern, plan based on a grid of 39 inch squares. (Why 39 inch squares? I have no idea, but I did look for an answer, as it was a strange number to me. I was truly hoping there was a deeper meaning to it but oh well!) There is a fireplace facing into the middle of the living room at its center. The entrance to the house forms one arm of the cross. Opposite of it, on the other arm, is the dining room.
The living room expands to one side, the kitchen and servants' quarters to the other. The cross, or many variations of it, was Wright's favorite layout and design of this period. So you are now asking why is this genius? Well Wright was able to do something he called compression of space.
Typically this was done in a vestibule or any entrance way of a structure. His thinking was that if you aesthetically compress an area, then when you move into the living quarters of a home, you are faced with an explosion of space. Wrights living spaces normally included heights of one and a half to two full stories. But as the compression effect plays into this, even the fronts of the homes had small and very intimate exterior entrances that began the illusion of space. Imagine seeing a building with a portico, small and roofed, with dark heavy doors. This feels warm and inviting.
Despite the fact that he designed with a minimalist eye, the wood and surfaces all reflected an earthy sense of well being. (I think I have found my forte in the area of understanding art! It's in the architecture for me!) As Wright was designing what we would come to now know as the "great rooms" of our houses, he was also looking at how the lighting and other fixtures of the homes would flow or follow the design he had created for them to be in. I feel that some of his most beautiful work was done in the lamps he made from stain glass. These typically looked almost Tiffany like, but had a more subdued flavor of colors.
See, I also feel that in his designs he sought out the practicality of the piece, not just the usefulness or the beauty of it. In 1908 Wright designed a smaller prairie house, in River Forest, Illinois, for Isabel Roberts, his office bookkeeper and the daughter of an earlier client. Modest in price, it was America's first split-level house, with bedrooms a half story up from the living room and the kitchen a half story down. The most famous and most well regarded home of Wright's prairie architecture is the Frederick C. Robie house on Chicago's South Side. This long, three-story structure stands no taller than the surrounding two-story houses. A roof cantilever extends 21 feet from the western wall of the house over a western facing patio area.
When you think about these cantilevers, think about almost a plank like walk that reaches out from the structure. While I was looking at some of these, I couldn't help but wonder if the whimsy of a pirate ship was on his mind? On the south side of the home, 14 glass doors open onto a main-floor balcony, which provided covering and a shade like effect for the 10 windows and 4 doors on the ground floor below it. A shallow roof overhang allows the sunlight to enter through the first floor doors in winter but keeps the suns blazing rays out in the hot summer months. At mid day in the summer months, sunlight just reaches the foot of the glass doors, keeping the remaining portions of the house in shade! If you have ever lived in the Mid West, you can appreciate the value of filtered light.
Typically the summers here required people to seek areas that offered relief to the heat and humidity. What Wright was trying to do, was incorporate elements that would allow air and movement from the south to the west to create a naturally cooling effect. Please also consider that air conditioning was not the norm at this time. Wright also traveled extensively to Tokyo and partook on the building and design of the famous Imperial Hotel. It was here that Wright truly refined his styles including concrete blocking that he called textile block system. He also designed homes he called Uso nian style, (United States of North America with an i for a more appeasing sound), which used the l shape design we all have probably lived in at some point in our lives.
The design has a flow that puts the "noise" of the house on one leg, and the bedrooms off to the quiet individual leg. Think about the floor plans you have lived in? How many can you relate to the styles that were influenced by Wright? Another generally unique aspect of this particular design was that it is the first representing modest housing costs. This design was duplicated in over fifty houses that he built, and at times the owners themselves would pour the concrete blocks to cut the cost of building significantly. This was known as democratic house designing as it could reach the masses, not just the wealthy.
Wright was a very sought after designer who was asked to design the Guggenheim. There was a lot of controversy regarding his designs due to the fact that some of the suspensions like cantilevers were so extended, they seemed to defy gravity. Modern contemporary architects were not sure if these structures would maintain or crumble with time. At the Guggenheim, he used a series of ramps that people claimed were not able to properly show art works. I have not been there, but I have always heard that it is beautiful. Another of one of his most famous works of the later period of his life was a behemoth of a structure that is in southwest Pennsylvania called Falling water.
There he was able to exemplify the beauty of the environment by building a glass and cantilevered structure that seems to melt into the rocks and bluff behind it. It is an amazing piece that received critical acclaim as a design, but again the cantilever issue was a fault according to some designers. Wright was also a philosophical man who had a deep and gentle nature about him. He has created some of the most simplistic forms and made them function, never for the sake of pure profit, but with the motivation of an impassioned artist creating for joy. There are a few quotes of his that I feel helps to understand his emotions for the work he loved. "The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes".
He was 92 when he died. As well as, "I believe in God, only I spell it Nature". I believe that these were indicative of why he felt that the aesthetic over all appeal of his work needed to include the nature he built on. When looking at his homes, it is not unusual to see a tree growing through the middle of a room! It was not planted by Wright, but merely accommodated for by the structure around it.
He embraced nature by following the free flow format he envisioned so well, not merely designing as common or current structures have been done. Would you call him genius? Yes, I would. Understanding now how he changed the way we use the definition of space, living and otherwise, is amazingly simplistic and revolutionary in our time. I can't think of one house that I have lived in that has not had an element of Wrights incorporated. Long lines of windows, laid out singularly straight, yet complex by the panes being four squared instead of one.
There are small details I can see in this area that were taken directly from the Prairie School of Architecture, Wrights beloved creative teaching environment. In closing I would like to ask that you look around your area, and see if you notice any of the themes that are typically now associated with Wrights style. Target has a collection of house design products by a gentleman named Michael Graves. I was in that store the other day, and found myself wondering if this man had some genius to his work. The lines and Japanese layered hanging effect of this particular lamp made me start thinking about the similarities to the style of Wrights! I couldn't believe that I had made this association, and also that it invoked feelings of awe in me.
After all it was just a lamp at Target, but I could see where this designer was heading, and why it was low, a darkly painted iron base with a simple and straight flat topped shade made of an oyster paper. Thanks Mr. Wright for inspiring even after you are gone.

We had William sing at our wedding and he and his band were fantastic - and this sentiment was echoed by all of our guests. He arrived early over a snowy weekend, set everything up and also dj'd the rest of the night for us. The band even learned a new song that we'd requested and performed it brilliantly. A top performer, incredibly professional... we can't wait until the next time we get married to have him play again! Thanks William - you and your band were outstanding. Lewis & Natalie.


A team of researchers from NASA and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory have discovered that water is released from the moon when it gets struck by meteoroids.
They were able to track the phenomenon using observations made by NASA's Lunar Atmosphere Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE).
This is a stepping stone in understanding the history of water on the moon and how it can be used to help human space exploration missions.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientists have discovered that water is released from the moon as meteoroids strike the surface.
Scientists had long speculated that meteorite impacts could have such an impact, but this is the first time that they've actually observed the phenomenon — but it also shows that meteoroid impacts release water faster than the moon can replace it.
Even so, these findings go a long way in helping the scientific community understand the history of lunar water and its continued evolution as well as help them understand how water on the moon can be a potential resource for future exploration endeavours — on the moon and in deep space.
The water being lost is likely ancient, either dating back to the formation of the Moon or deposited early in its history.
Essentially, when debris from a comet in the form of a meteoroid hits the moon, it vaporises on impact. That impact, in turn, creates a shock wave in the lunar soil. If an impact is big enough, the shockwave will be large enough to breach through the soil's top layer that's mostly dry and release the water molecules from underneath.
NASA's Lunar Atmosphere Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) was able to track these water molecules as they entered the lunar atmosphere. Using those observations, researchers from NASA and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory discovered four new meteoroid streams.
One could speculate that the water detected could be a result of the meteoroids' water mass rather than the moon. But, the team was able to determine that this cannot be the case since the water being released is in excess of the water mass detected in the meteoroids.
We know that some of the water must be coming from the Moon, because the mass of water being released is greater than the water mass within the meteoroids coming in.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was the first to discover water on the moon in 2008 when its spacecraft, Chandrayaan-1, used the Moon Impact Probe (MIP) on the Shackleton Crater located at the moon's south pole. Even then, it was the subsurface debris that was analysed to determine the presence of water.

United Against Extremism in Poland.
By Antonina Lewandowska and Anna Szczegielniak
October 25th, 2015 was a lovely sunny day in Warsaw, Poland. Children played in the parks and adults relaxed outside, unzipping their jackets to feel the last rays of sunshine before the cold winter. You could almost say that it was a day like any other in Poland. But that was the day of the parliamentary elections. And, as was to become clear later on, the overall tranquility of that day was just a calm before the storm.
On that day, Poles elected a new government and since then the ruling party has been the Law and Justice party (Prawo i Sprawiedliwosc) led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski.
In just one night, another European country was taken over by the global wave of conservatism, hatred and fear. The Law and Justice party formed a government promising to herald "a good change" for society, yet since the very first day of their rule, it has been obvious which principles would underlie this change – those of Euroscepticism, xenophobia, and an opposition to minority rights and modern standards of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
The new Poland (apart from being a terrifying place to live) is as close-minded, as it is aggressive. The government has declared war on anyone who does not fit into traditional structures, and all discussions have become binary. This war has taken some extreme turns when it came to women's issues and the fundamental right to make decisions about our own bodies and sexualites. 'Anti-gender,' homophobic, and anti-choice movements have gained in power and they are not afraid to use it.
The Law and Justice party tried to enforce a total ban on abortion (punishing a woman who has terminated a pregnancy with imprisonment) in autumn 2016, an action which resulted in a national, and even global protest, known as The Black Protest (#czarnyprotest). This bill was ultimately thrown out, but Prime Minister Szydlo has already introduced another project, the so-called "For Life" project. This initiative offers, among other things, one-time financial support for women who decide to go through with a "difficult pregnancy" (with a fetus that is disabled or terminally ill) offering a the payment of 4000 zl or 490€, in return. There is also a national pro-life campaign under discussion and another anti-abortion bill which will be discussed in Warsaw this autumn.
Added to this, are the developments in the field of postpartum care. The gynecologist, Bogdan Chazan, who is known for refusing to provide pregnant woman with legal abortion on grounds of faith, was assigned to join a team of ministerial experts to create new postpartum care standards in Polish hospitals. Many of us already fears that these standards will be based on ideology, not on scientific evidences.
Polish women's right to bodily autonomy has been further curtailed by the recent comeback of required prescription for morning-after pills. And in fact, visiting a doctor does not even guarantee prescription for the morning-after pill, due to a legal loophole known as "the faith clause" which effectively allows doctors to deny their patients of certain medical procedures if such procedures are at odds with their personal moral convictions. In theory, a doctor who makes use of 'the faith clause' is obligated to inform their patient of another service provider where the denied medical procedure will be provided, however, that remains in theory. The clause is also supposed to fall short of imposing limitations on prescribed medications, but this again, is just in theory.
One of the most important reforms that is being conducted by the Law and Justice party is the new educational bill, which aims to restructure the Polish educational system and rewrite core curriculums from scratch. The closest thing that Poland has to sex education at schools is a module called Preparation for Family Life, and the person responsible for the new curriculum for this subject is Urszula Dudziak, a psychologist and theologist closely tied to Catholic Church. Her official statements include: "women need sperm in order not to develop cervical or breast cancer", "using condoms is a sign of immaturity in a relationship", "using any kind of contraception deprives its user of dignity", "IVF is a cruel method that keeps the child away from its mother's warmth, replacing it with the freezing cold of laboratory freezers". These statements have been backed up by government action, most obviously in the case of IVF where the state funding programme for IVF lasted only until June 2016 and was not prolonged. The Minister of Health, Konstanty Radziwill, indicated that "the in-vitro procedure is not the only one possible, when it comes to infertility treatment."
The IVF programme was replaced with a "procreation" programme, based on natural methods of family planning.
The European Parliament held a debate on the status of women's reproductive rights in Poland on Wednesday, 6th of October, 2016. The debate was initiated by the ALDE Group – (The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Group), and the S&D Group, or The Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats. The Polish Prime Minister, Beata Szydlo, criticized this initiative claiming that the "European Parliament is simply starting to lose credibility."
All of the above may seem absurd and impossible in the XXI century, but it is happening. The children and adults who were enjoying themselves on that sunny day of October two years ago are living in a whole different country today. Now we have no idea what will happen – or when. The Polish government has recently taken the reins of the whole jury system and they can do anything, including rigging the elections.
Poland is ruled by extremists, that's a fact. Europeans and European politics are extremely divided nowadays, that's also a fact. But it's not the time to look away. Not anymore. We are done with reprimands, warnings and pleas. If we don't protect our civil rights today there may be no way to do so tomorrow.
The world seems to have forgotten about its greatest weapon – unity. Let's stay united. Let's scream, protest, and demonstrate our opposition to the violation of basic human rights – just as we all did during the "Black Protest". The international support received throughout the Czarny Protest brought the barbaric anti-abortion bill to its end, but there are many more fights to go.
We, the women of Poland, urge you to try to keep updated on developments in Poland and to demonstrate your support for our activists.
Two years ago we never would have thought that there would be a need to make such an appeal, but times have changed. It may seem irrelevant to you, but support from abroad means the world to us.
Let us show the extremist that we are here and we will persist.
No matter what. Together.

Spring 2018 Gems & Gemology Reveals
Colorful Discoveries in Gems
Green diamonds, "rainbow" hematite and a
full report on the Tucson trade shows
Delve into the science of green diamonds, explore "rainbow" hematite and discover how DNA can be used to identify pearls in the Spring 2018 issue of Gems & Gemology (G&G), GIA's (Gemological Institute of America's) quarterly professional journal. The spring issue will also feature the 2018 G&G Challenge, a 25-question multiple-choice quiz based on articles published in 2017– Those who score 100% will be listed in the Fall 2018 issue. The Gem News International section will carry a complete report on the February 2018 Tucson gem and mineral shows, with 24 pages of coverage and photos. G&G's Spring 2018 issue is available in print by subscription and in the GIA Store, and digitally – at no cost – on GIA.edu.
This issue opens with "Natural-Color Green Diamonds: A Beautiful Conundrum," the first in a series of articles about fancy-color diamonds. Christopher M. Breeding, Sally Eaton-Magaña and James E. Shigley compiled data representative of more than 9,000 samples to offer a look at natural green diamonds that has never before been possible. These diamonds are colored either by simple structural defects produced by radiation exposure or by more complex defects involving nitrogen, hydrogen or nickel impurities. Laboratory irradiation treatments closely mimic the effects of natural radiation exposure, causing tremendous difficulty in gemological identification – a challenge that the three GIA research scientists address in this article.
"Iridescence in Metamorphic 'Rainbow' Hematite" explores "rainbow" hematite from Minas Gerais, Brazil. The authors, Xiayang Lin, Peter J. Heaney and Jeffrey E. Post, use advanced technology to determine the cause of the intense wide-angle iridescence. The study revealed that the interference is produced by a repeating microstructure consisting of spindle-shaped hematite nanocrystals containing minor impurities.
G&G continues with "DNA Techniques Applied to the Identification of Japanese Pinctada Fucata Pearls from Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture, Japan." Kazuko Saruwatari, Michio Suzuki, Chunhui Zhou, Promlikit Kessrapong and Nicholas Sturman share how genetic information encoded in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) can be used to identify this akoya cultured pearl species.
Additional highlights include a recent lab note by Sally Eaton-Magaña on five CVD synthetic diamonds larger than three carats and beautiful photomicrographs in the Micro-World section of an opal with agate-like banding.
This and every issue of G&G since 1934, including full articles, lab notes, photo galleries and exclusive video footage, are available at no cost on GIA's website at https://www.gia.edu/gems-gemology.
Additional research articles are available at http://www.gia.edu/gia-news-research.
Print subscriptions and copies of back issues are available at http://store.gia.edu, or by contacting G&G customer service at +1 760-603-4502. There is a $10 discount on subscription renewals – domestic and international – and a 50% lower rate for recent back issues – all back issues now cost $15.


Do You Wash Your Fruits and Vegetables, Even If They Are Organically Grown?
My aunt is a fan of organic food. That day when I went over and saw her preparing meal, I was surprised to see her not washing them before pouring into the wok. She told me that she does not have to worry about pesticides with organic food.
Not really. Pesticide which residues on fruits and vegetables used to be the consumers' key concern. However, organic or not organic, just imagine bugs are laying eggs on them and snails may have crawled on them. Even if the organic veggies are not touched by pesticides, they may have been touched by people along the way from the field or orchard before it reaches supermarket. In other words, the contamination may have started at the farm, warehouse or in the grocery store. So, even organic produce may carry bacteria. Bacteria such as Listeria and Salmonella may all be lurking on your fruits and vegetables, whether they are organically grown or conventionally grown. These bacteria may cause food-borne illness.
Before you wash the fruit and vegetable, wash your hands first.
Rinse the produce under running water instead of soaking it.
For veggies like lettuce or cabbage heads, you may want to peel away the outer layer.
Even if you want to peel the fruits before eating, it is still important to wash it first. Talking about that, Do You Wash Your Banana Before You Peel Its Skin?
I have seen people using chlorine washes before rinsing it away with water. I do not recommend that you use soap or detergent to do that. Commercial sprays and washes sold for cleaning vegetables really are not much better than cleaning thoroughly with plain water. So, save your money.
If required, scrub melons or cucumbers with clean vegetable brush.
Apart from that, wash pre-packaged fruits and vegetables, even if the label claims they are pre-washed.
Washing is an important step, but it still does not guarantee elimination of contamination. The challenge is to stop bacteria from growing and bacteria needs three things to do that – water, nutrients and right temperature. Therefore, it is important to clean them dry before storing them in fridge.
Though we can wash whatever ways we want when we prepare our meals at home, things can be very different when we eat out. You never know how restaurants do the same. We just have to trust them thet do. If you have read the post of You Don't Want To Know How Your Food Is Prepared in Restaurant, you may want to eat home. No matter what, eating fruits and veggies is still a must for balanced diet. Don't be scared away.
ewh, think about all the other people that have touched them and that they have touched everything else!
Hi all, I am suprised this is even a question. Come on! make sure it is clean before you eat it. It is pretty basic stuff. Germs on organic food make you as ill as germs on non organic food. Wash your own hands as well and be careful how you store your food such as meats organic or not and make sure it is fresh oganic or not.
not to forget during the transportation of the good from farm into your house.

I used a cute dog shaped card from the Silhouette online store to create my card base. I added some bows by using another cut file that I had in my library. I had to make my dog a girl since all I have are girls :-) I embossed my sentiment with some white embossing powder and Voila! a fun, quick and easy card.
This cute sentiment is from one of the newer stamp sets from Craftin Desert Divas - "Animal Antics". I love this stamp set as it has so many cute animal puns that are perfect for a variety of projects and occasions!!

The study reviewed the immersive and experiential learning programme for young people – Their Past Your Future (TPYF). It evaluated how direct engagement with people, places and objects impacted on a personal and societal level, and how it enhanced knowledge for young people and educational institutions. It also explored impacts on the Imperial War Museum itself.
Evaluation of the first phase, TPYF1, illustrated the strength of the immersive and experiential learning approach as a way of engaging young people and educators directly with the people, places and objects they are learning about in a way that enhances what is possible in a classroom, formal learning or museum context. The Immersive Learning Programme therefore focussed on immersive learning through the resources and processes in the following model.
A new component of the learning approach in the Immersive Learning Programme was the use of Radiowaves, a safe online social networking site for schools and youth organisations. Radiowaves involved young people recording their experiences in real time, via personal blogs and by making videos and podcasts to post on the site. The purpose of Radiowaves was to enhance the site activities and engagement on the visits, to explore the use of social networking and multimedia technology as an effective learning tool, to provide a more lasting record of the visits and to increase direct and indirect beneficiaries of the programme.


Le Thanh Hai, Politburo member and Secretary of Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee hosted a reception for Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea (RoK) Chung Ui-hwa on March 20.
Ho Chi Minh City has long cemented a close relationship with a number of localities in the RoK, particularly the 20-year ties with Busan city, Hai said.
He noted that the RoK is one of the biggest foreign investors in his city and more opportunities for cooperation are to open up as the two countries have concluded negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, paving the way for official signing.
For his part, Chung Ui-hwa shared his impression on the rapid growth of Vietnam's southern economic hub in recent years and agreed on enhancing cooperation between the RoK with HCM City, especially in sectors of common interest.

The Comedic Director Behind 'Bridesmaids' Has a Very Serious New Project — Craft Gin
Hollywood director Paul Feig's latest project is one that can be enjoyed off-screen.
Patricia Doherty

Award-winning director and producer Paul Feig brought us laughs with Bridesmaids, The Heat, and the female-led Ghostbusters remake. He's directed episodes of The Office, Weeds, Nurse Jackie, and Mad Men, and was behind the cult classic Freaks and Geeks. But Feig's newest creation — after two years of devotion — won't be seen on TV or movie screens.
Lover of cocktail culture and devoted fan of martinis from Dukes Bar in London, Feig has traveled the world in search of the perfect combination of gin, vermouth, and a generous lemon peel — his favored garnish. Although he's savored martinis from London to Paris to New York, the connoisseur and ardent fancier of gin set out to create one that met his own standards of perfection.
Courtesy of Artingstall's
Feig enlisted the experts at Minhas Craft Brewery, brother and sister Ravinder and Manjit Minhas, who presented him with various combinations of botanicals after considering his preferences. Many tastings later — Feig recounted tweaking the alcohol content as a last step and arriving at precisely 42 percent — Artingstall's Brilliant London Dry Gin was born. Featuring a blend of 11 botanicals, including orris root, cassia, elderberries, and citrus, the new gin is clean, crisp, and aromatic.
Its elegant crystal decanter-style bottle was designed to suggest an old world spirit with a long history. Actually, the legacy of the family-owned Minhas distillery dates back to 1845, the year highlighted in scrollwork on the black and gold label, along with the product name — Artingstall was Feig's mother's maiden name — in a traditional font.
The Emmy-nominated Feig has another hit with his gin now that Artingstall's won Best Gin and Double Gold at the WSWA (Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America) 2019 Spirits Tasting Competition. The Tasting Panel Magazine gave it a score of 94 and praised its "palate, bursting with floral notes." It's described on Shots Box as "perfectly balanced" and "as unique, refined, and entertaining as its creator."
Visit Feig's Instagram handle to experience his humor, his seemingly endless wardrobe of tuxedos and three-piece suits, and his energetic, if quirky, dance steps. These were on display during his 100 days of Quarantine Cocktail Time, when he entertained viewers each evening with his cocktail mixing skills, banter, and style while encouraging them to support COVID-19-related causes. Often joined by his wife, Laurie, and their dog, Buster, Feig motivated his homebound followers to arrange virtual dinner parties for fun and friendship during the quarantine.
One evening, he donned a silver and black brocade tuxedo jacket to create a Manhattan dedicated to his New York City friends and viewers, reminding them of an organization that supplies protective gear for medical workers. Another night, outfitted in a pin-striped suit and jaunty bowler, Feig saluted London in recognition of their just-announced quarantine, as he highlighted an organization that provides meals for kids. The cocktail of the night, said to be the Queen of England's favorite, was Dubonnet and gin (Artingstall's, of course).

One day, I might write a book on how to pack to move house - if I ever master the art myself.
I've had far too many moves. I've learned things like using linen as a packing material instead of things like bubble wrap - you have to pack it anyway, so you're saving space, and it's a good cushioning product. I've learned that I need to start packing a long way ahead of time, packing the things I use least first to get them out of the way. And I've learned to try to clear one room to stack the boxes in as they're stacked, so the rest of the house remains semi-functional during the process.
I had an interesting question this move. Last move, I threw my growing collection of xrays into my daughter's high school art folio for the journey. She's grown up and has a home of her own, so isn't moving a folio of art with me.
After a an unproductive afternoon of searching nearby shops for art folios, I turned to the Sometimes, it is Lupus Facebook Page for advice. The suggestions were either the art folio I wasn't able to get, or to stick two sheets of poster board together to form an envelope. That's the idea I went with.
After a quick trip to the newsagent, I had two of the thickest sheets of poster cardboard I could get. I used duct tape to create a hinge between the two sheets, and added self-sticking hook and loop fasteners so it can be held closed.
An idea, a little bit handwork, and here you are !


DEBU End of CmdRun(), Waiting for hijack to finish.
CentOS (6 or 7 with kernel 2.6.32-042stab108.2) host server with running a CentOS 7 container running Docker.
The how-to on wiki.openvz.org/Docker_inside_CT works perfectly for my configuration. Except Docker uses up all inodes REALY fast so I'm still working on an optimal number for that.
I thin docker an Virtuozzo does work together. This is not was Marketing said.
So how many inodes did you assign to your VM?
Thank for answer, i use one namenöde an two Datenode. But the issue is exactly i iwant to run the Container.
I think you misunderstood me. The "inode" is a very specific filesystem term. The amount of inodes is something you set for each container.
I haven't used docker and openvz together, but I see tburazin mentioning large demand for inodes due to docker. The lack of inodes could quite possibly translate into device space errors so I would advise you to check how much inodes have you assigned to a container running docker and try assigning more.
Where can i change this terms, in openVZ container?
You can go with a different amount, but be careful not to use up all your inodes on one container.

Johann Thaddäus, , genannt Meziříčský (* vor 1589; † 13. Januar 1652 in Zittau) war ein böhmisch-lutherischer Prediger, Schriftsteller und Humanist, der des Calvinismus verdächtigt wurde.

Leben
Der Geburtsort von Johann Thaddäus ist unbekannt. Er wurde Meziříčí genannt, was sich auf den Geburtsort in Meziříčí in Mähren beziehen sollte, aber es gibt keine Aufzeichnungen darüber, ob es Velké Meziříčí oder eine andere Stadt war. Anschließend studierte Thadeus in Prostějov, in Prag und dann an der Universität Wittenberg. Er wurde am 24. Mai 1589 zusammen mit Jan Theodor Sixt von Ottersdorf und anderen Persönlichkeiten des böhmischen Humanismus an der Universität Wittenberg immatrikuliert. Sein Studium an der Universität Wittenberg beendete er aus finanziellen Gründen nicht und entschied sich für den kirchlichen Weg. Er schrieb viele Bücher und Schriften, er schrieb auch in Latein. Zu seinen Texten gehören unter anderem Erklärungen zum Familienstand einiger Artikel, wie Herkunft, Ursachen, Segen und Kreuz.

Am 28. März 1591 wurde er zum böhmischen Bruderpriester geweiht. 1593 wurde er Kaplan in Kutná Hora und dann an verschiedenen Orten, so in der Prager Altstadt, in Turnov, 1605 in München Hradiště; in den Jahren 1610–1618 wirkte er als Bruderpriester in St. Berber in Kutná Hora. In den Jahren 1618–1623 war er Dekan in Jičín. Als die Kirche den Jesuiten übergeben wurde, gab er sein Amt auf, blieb aber in Jičín. 1628 ging er ins Exil und 1630 ließ er sich in Zittau nieder, wo sein Haus zu einem Zentrum für Exilanten wurde. Er kam während des Sachseneinfalls nach Prag, kehrte aber bald darauf nach Zittau zurück.

Er ist in der Liste der Verbannten von 1640 aufgeführt und 1641 leistete er dem Grundbesitzer in Zittau den Treueeid. Am 20. September 1638 starb seine (erste) Frau Marie Rosendörfer. In Zittau wurde er des Calvinismus verdächtigt und wegen seines Buches Conciliatory biblicum untersucht. Es wurde 1648 in Amsterdam veröffentlicht (es wurde 1703 und 1713 erneut veröffentlicht). Er schrieb das Buch in Breda. Er blieb einige Zeit in Breda in der Hoffnung, eine Anstellung zu finden. Als seine Hoffnungen zu schwinden begannen, widmete er das Buch dem Rat der Stadt Zittau, wo er bleiben wollte. Während der Ermittlungen konnte ihm niemand calvinistische Ideen beweisen. Der Literatur zufolge war er ein ausgezeichneter und prompter Redner. Er war unter den Exilanten sehr beliebt, aber die Stadtkleriker mochten ihn nicht und verdächtigten ihn weiterhin des Calvinismus. Er starb während der Untersuchung am 13. Januar 1652 in Zittau. Eine öffentliche Beerdigung wurde ihm verweigert und er musste abends nach 9 Uhr, vermutlich dort, wo sich heute der Klosterfriedhof befindet, beigesetzt werden. Für seine (zweite) Frau Alžběta Stoltze, die am 13. April 1661 ebenfalls in Zittau starb, wurde ein Grabstein errichtet. Seine Nachkommen leben bis heute in Tschechien und Deutschland.

8 1/2 Months – 4 Continents . . .
We love to travel and have had the opportunity to visit many wonderful places over the years. Lori's first international trip was at age 7 when she and her Mom lived in Guadalajara, Mexico for the summer (Mom taught at a school). The following summer, the family (Lori, Mom, and dog Juno) spent 3 months traveling the U.S. in a Winnebago. At 16, Lori saved her babysitting and waitressing money for a two-week class trip to Spain. Then, in college she returned to Spain for a summer study program. Over the years, Lori has visited Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, and Mexico, Scotland, Spain, and Wales. Michael's first time abroad was a family vacation to Vancouver, Canada. In the army, he went to Thailand and Korea. As a couple, we have visited Antigua, Bahamas, Belize, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cayman, Costa Rica, England, France, Greece, Jamaica, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, St. Kitts, US Virgin Islands, and Zimbabwe. And we want to see more!
This year, we decided the time was right, so we made plans to sell the house, furniture, and cars; and drink most of the wine (we saved a few bottles for our return). There were doubts like, is it irresponsible to leave our jobs and sell most of our belongings? Lori spent tons of time reading travel blogs and found inspiration (and helpful advice) – like Cameron & Nicole, Clark and Kim, Gary Arnd, Dan & Audrey, Ryan and Laura,and Shannon O'Donnell. She saw that others shared the same travel lust and made their dream a reality. If they could do it, we could too!
So, how do you plan an around-the-world itinerary? We spent many, many months deciding which countries to visit. Although 8 1/2 months sounds like a long time, it was not long enough to visit everywhere we wanted to go. So we reluctantly skipped some places (for now). We selected the main regions: Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America and then cashed in hundreds of thousands of frequent flyer miles for two business class around the world airline tickets. Booking the tickets was an exercise in patience and creativity. Michael was the patient one who spent over one hour on the phone with the airline to make the reservations. A Star Alliance around the world ticket includes 5 legs and a lot of restrictions. You can only cross an ocean once, have to end in the same country you begin, and can only book 340 days in advance. We had to make some tweaks, but we managed to book all flights to the desired regions. There are a few odd hours, like a 2:30 AM departure, and a few long layovers, but for the most part, the flights are pretty good. Now we are planning travel within each region and places to stay.
There are also a ton of other details to take care of like visas, insurance, chip and pin credit cards, vaccines, and gear. Here are some of the things we have learned so far.


In 2010, The Nevada Department of Education in the US conducted an independent research study of 21 reading programs. They did this in order to determine which program would provide the most remedial value to the schools in their district. The Fast ForWord program was shown to make the largest average impact of all the programs which they reviewed, with students improving by an average of 22 percentile points following training.
The National Centre on Intensive Intervention (NCII) is an independent organisation who evaluates research studies conducted on educational programs. They evaluate these studies in terms of their quality, results and whether additional research exists to support any of their claims. Three Fast ForWord studies have been reviewed by the NCII, two of which have been ranked as having the largest effect size of any intervention listed on their database. This means that the Fast ForWord series had the greatest impact on the student's performance in comparison to any of the other programs listed.
These reviews show that the research performed on the Fast ForWord intervention not only withstands critical evaluation by the scientific community but also that it is one of the most effective programs available in supporting cognitive and language skills development.


~ I've got a sore throat. I hope it doesn't develop into anything major.
~ When my boy is rebelling, he simply goes limp and pretends to be asleep. Good one.
~ One of my kids is Student O' The Month at their school.
~ Does anyone else out there spend a hearty percentage of their budget on kids' toothpaste for no other reason than at least a half of it ends up on walls, the floor, and in the bathroom sink?
I'm off to clean the bathroom.
Congrats on the student of the month award, that's great!
And re the going limp rebellion, my Ty will pretend to fall asleep and close his eyes if he doesn't want to do something. It's so funny to see him sneak a look to see if it's working or not.
I almost hit a moose in the dark once. Its legs were longer than the height of my car. HUGE.
totally relate with the toothpaste issue. Ours also gets wasted by ending up on the floor and someone stepping on it causing all of it to ooze out everywhere. Fun times.
Yay for students of the month and for seeing a real, live moose. Beats hitting a real, live cougar. And children's toothpaste? I think we all need to go in and order a crate of the stuff!
I saw a moose the first time I visited Sundance, yes they are HUGE!
I'm always finding toothpaste all over my bathroom!
There's a kind of Crest, we have it, that LEAKS everywhere. It sits on the counter and leaks. That's what it does. I find blue puddles all over my counters and it's incredibly annoying.
I saw a baby moose one time and it was ginorm.
I wish my kid pretended he was asleep when he was being a rebel. Mine will hit his forehead and then the back of his head on whatever surface we are on, if I can't get my hand underneath first. (Including concrete) (This is my baby I'm talking about) He's a crazy kid, I tell ya!
Good luck cleaning up the toothpaste. That stuff is sticky!

Whitehorse City Hall (Yukon News file)
City news, briefly
A look at issues discussed by Whitehorse city council at its May 17 meeting
Stephanie Waddell
May. 23, 2021 9:30 a.m.
A look at issues discussed by Whitehorse city council at its May 17 meeting.
Lane closure concerns expressed
Whitehorse city council could soon move ahead with the final two readings of a bylaw that would formally close a lane at the city hall site at Second Avenue and Steele Street.
At council's May 17 meeting, Pat Ross, the city's manager of land and building services, brought forward a public hearing report outlining the issues brought up in the only written submission the city received on the proposed lane closure.
The lane extends off of Steele Street between city hall and MacBride Museum. It turns toward Second Avenue, running between city hall and the now-closed fire hall.
The closure is being brought forward as part of the lot consolidation for the site as the city gets set to demolish the fire hall, a portion of city hall and build a new services building, transit hub, rebuild and renovate city hall.
The site is currently made up of 12 separate lots and the laneway. Under the proposal, the lots and laneway would be consolidated into one lot before work begins.
The first step in that is the formal permanent closure of the laneway.
The public hearing was held on May 10 with the city receiving just one written submission.
It highlighted concerns about fire suppression and guest safety at the museum, the possibility of emergency egress from the museum being compromised and argued there are a number of developments downtown where laneways have been kept in place even as development has happened.
As Ross stated in his report the space between city hall and the museum is expected to remain intact at seven metres and be kept as open space that would allow access to the museum property if needed for fire suppression.
Similarly, any egress from MacBride Museum would not be impacted.
Finally, on the retention of laneways in other developments, Ross explained in those cases the lanes are typically kept in place to provide access to properties in that block.
"There are examples where lanes within blocks downtown have not been developed and have been closed to accommodate development," he said, citing as examples a number of Yukon government buildings, the Elijah Smith Building, the Sternwheeler Hotel and part of the museum property.
Council will vote on whether to move forward with the final two readings of the bylaw May 25.

Zoning bylaw changes could move forward
Changes to the City of Whitehorse' development plan process and requirements around drainage could soon take a step forward.
At Whitehorse city council's May 17 meeting, members were presented with a public hearing report on proposed changes to the zoning bylaw.
As Pat Ross, the city's manager of land and building services, explained in an earlier report to council, the changes are aimed at improving and streamlining the development permit process while also creating more clear guidelines around site grading and drainage for properties.
The guidelines for grading and drainage are proposed for more simple developments — such as individual residential lots — at this point, with further guidelines expected to cover more complex developments in the future.
There were no submissions made to the public hearing on May 10, Ross noted at the May 17 meeting before presenting council with the recommendation that second and third reading be brought forward for consideration.
Council will vote on whether to move forward with the final two readings of the bylaw on May 25.
Spring rec grants
More than 20 local organizations could receive close to $100,000 for a variety of projects with 13 groups potentially receiving close to $50,000 in operational support.
Whitehorse city council members were presented with the proposed spring recreation grants at its May 17 meeting.
The proposal details two streams of funding — one for projects and initiatives with the other for operational costs.
Of the 23 that would receive $97,437 in project funding, the Victoria Faulkner Women's Centre would see the largest grant at $7,440 for its Mom and Kids Program while Boreal Adventure Running would receive the smallest grant at $600 for COVID-19 signage to be used at race events.
Meanwhile, in the operation grant category, eight groups would each receive $4,500, the largest amount in that category. They include the Friends of Mount Sima; Golden Age Society; Yukon Church Heritage Society; Yukon Music Camp; and the Yukon Transportation Museum Society all for operations and maintenance costs, with the Mountain View Golf Course receiving the same amount for electrical maintenance; the Guild Society for utility support; and the Heart of Riverdale Community Centre for facility fees, administration and advertising.
The smallest amount in the category — at $750 — would go to Special Olympics Yukon to be used for electricity.
Council will vote on the proposed grants May 25.
