Haddonfield Superintendent Larry Mussoline has once again found himself in the middle of a racially-tinged incident involving athletes from his district, but is eager to close the book and attend to more pressing matters.
On Oct. 10, an anonymous person sent members of the Haddonfield school board and several media outlets a video containing racially-charged language, made by football players at St. Joseph Regional High School in Hammonton. The video was revealed to have been made at St. Joseph head coach Paul Sacco's house some time before the two teams squared off on Sept. 29, according to multiple reports.
Also according to reports, St. Joseph's principal, Fr. Allain Caparas, reached out to the principal of Haddonfield Memorial High School, Tammy McHale, to offer an apology.
Mussoline then penned a response to the incident, which was sent to all parents in the district as well as posted on the school district's website. In that response, he professed confidence and strength in the school system and the surrounding community, insisting that a single incident from the previous spring does not define either the school district, the community or its athletes as being racially insensitive.
The body of the response also contained links to several stories published in the Philadelphia Inquirer, including an op-ed by columnist Maria Panaritis from Oct. 6 that mentioned a 2007 incident involving Haddonfield students where nearly $20,000 in property damage was caused in a private residence.
Additionally, Mussoline maintained that whatever punitive measures St. Joseph administration elected to take in the wake of the video's discovery, was the school's own business and Haddonfield would not worry about it.
Mussoline, who was expected to take the reins as superintendent on July 1, instead began his tenure in June. He arrived shortly after an incident where multiple observers witnessed a member of Haddonfield's boys lacrosse team utter a racial epithet toward a female athlete from Sterling High School. When members of the lacrosse team refused to identify the teammate in question, their season was cancelled.
"Since our Haddonfield schools are conscientiously involved in a multi-year program to have our students and teachers explore and understand diversity, we feel we are doing more than most school systems to teach, understand, explore, examine, and scrutinize diversity and equity issues in American society. We're not perfect and we are fairly sure that we and other schools and communities will continue to deal with equity and diversity issues.
"The letter was to acknowledge that good work going on in our schools. It was to acknowledge and report to our community on another incident reported to us anonymously where our school was involved with a racial slur albeit this time on the periphery," he said.
"In the four months I have been superintendent of Haddonfield schools, I have come to know our school community as a nationally recognized blue ribbon school district located in a beautiful, blue ribbon community. I see the students as respectful, appreciative and polite. The Haddonfield residents I've met are generally philanthropic in nature, believing in the concept of aiding and supporting the common good. Frankly, I am getting tired of individuals painting Haddonfield students and citizens with the broad brush of racial insensitivity.
"What I understand is that — more than five months ago, last spring — one single individual in one of our 22 varsity extracurricular programs said something completely inappropriate and unacceptable to a visiting athlete at a track meet. We addressed that situation head on. We apologized to the young athlete who was the target of the slur and actions were taken to mitigate this situation from occurring again.
"Here's the key. That single incident does not define the entire Haddonfield school district and the Haddonfield community as being racially insensitive. It doesn't define any Haddonfield sports team or program as racially insensitive. It doesn't define Haddonfield schools as racially insensitive. It doesn't define the community as racially insensitive. Whether lacrosse, football, soccer or any other sport, you will find the athletes we have on those teams are among the very best any community has representing them. The athletes on our school sports teams have won numerous good sportsmanship awards throughout southern New Jersey over the years.
"Quite recently, teachers and students in our high school raised over $65,000 to support a former Sudanese child soldier, who is now a student at Emory College earning his master's degree. The motivation for reaching out to Garang Buk Buk was through reading a literary piece centered on diversity. No one knew Garang Buk Buk prior to our students and teachers reaching out to him, working together to combat power and privilege as concerned and proactive global citizens. The good about Haddonfield and its schools FAR outweighs isolated incidents by single people in our community or in our society.
"On Oct. 10, we found ourselves again, although on the periphery this time, in the throes of another racial incident in America. An unidentifiable individual sent members of the Haddonfield school board and many media outlets a racially charged video made by football players at St. Joseph Regional High School in Hammonton. After discovering the existence of this video for the first time yesterday, we sent it to Saint Joe's where we are confident the administrators and athletic director will handle the situation appropriately. That's the end of the story for Haddonfield.
"The video was originally sent two weeks ago to an African-American student on Haddonfield's football team. He shared the video with teammates as a motivational tool for the upcoming game. Our football coach may have heard about a video that was circulating, but never looked at it because his athletes downplayed the video as 'just trash talk.' Our coach and team then went about their business, attending conditioning sessions and practices in preparation for the game against Saint Joe's. Haddonfield won the game on Sept. 29.
"While we were saddened that this event occurred, we understand that sometimes students and adults make thoughtless choices. Maybe they don't understand the gravity of words. Possibly they don't understand the history of racism in America. All I know is that we in the Haddonfield schools are working very hard to ensure that our students understand the past, respect others, and that they demonstrate respect in their words and actions.

A brand new forty year-old British film, Franco Rosso's Babylon, has been released in the USA to startling reviews. The film's subject is black youths in south London, its theme racism, its attitude defiant and vigorous, its voice Reggae. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1980, and received very good notices back home. It played well, but some exhibitors feared its reception might be too exuberant – and demurred. The film's importance was underlined when Lord Scarman, who led an inquiry into the Brixton Riots of 1981 which took place in the very streets seen in the film, asked specifically to see Babylon. Its authenticity and veracity made it a historical document. It was initially invited to the 1980 New York Film Festival but then was quickly banned for fear it would exacerbate racial tension. A very good film is always new, but what adds relevance to Babylon in 2019 is the furore around Green Book and BlacKkKlansman. The embers of resentment have been rekindled about who owns the stories of black life.
The history of the making of Babylon may add another dimension. It was mainly financed by public money, by the UK's National Film Finance Corporation (NFFC). In January 1979, I had just been appointed managing director. At my first Board meeting I proposed funding Babylon; my chairman, banker Geoffrey Williams, later said that Babylon was a multiple risk: a difficult and unfamiliar subject, a first-time director and a commitment of over eighty per cent of the budget as against the accustomed thirty per cent. I had no reservations.
Don't be too impressed by the grand title of the organisation. The NFFC had been formed in 1950 and had part-financed 500 features in its first ten years. By the late 1970s the corporation had been hard hit by cuts, and the stream of films had been reduced to a trickle of two or three features a year. Every decision became significant, every game a Cup Final. Worse was to come. Within months of my joining, the Labour government was ousted and the Tories took over. The incoming Tory films minister, Norman Tebbit, (now The Lord Tebbit CH PC) decided that £1.5m per annum, funded via a box office tax, should suffice – £1.5m a year for a population of 60m, that is 2.5p per person. What mattered to all governments was television. My friend and teacher, the film and theatre director Lindsay Anderson, used to say that, when it came to cinema, the English were philistines. My chairman, Geoffrey Williams, while at a prestigious public (English patois for 'private') school, was discouraged from visiting the local cinema because that was 'where one picked up communicable diseases'. Geoffrey, an inveterate cinemagoer, ignored the ruling and looked in rude health to me.
The writers of Babylon, Martin Stellman and Franco Rosso, did not originally have a director or a producer attached to the project. Martin was a former student at the National Film School, where I had been Head of Directing. I knew something of the script's history – that it had been developed by the BBC, who had passed on it, as had the British Film Institute Production Board under Peter Sainsbury, where I had been head of production previously and, ironically, where the last film the Board had backed just before I left, was Pressure (1976)the first British black feature, written and directed by Horace Ove. The central figure of Pressure is a first-generation young black Brit, who does not fully belong in either the black or the white community. This is not the war zone of Babylon but a place where racism hides behind the everyday and is expressed through exclusion or diminution in all the areas that create communality and community: housing, education and jobs. Ironically – and optimistically – it is a white teenage girl who expresses her outrage of white racism. But there is police violence, possibly rogue: 'The law is not concerned with you and your lot,' says a plain-clothes officer during a brutal police raid of a legitimate political gathering. Horace Ove said afterwards that his next film would not be a black film but a film.
Ghettos come in all colours, shapes and sizes. The Board also backed the first feature about the Asian community, A Private Enterprise (1975), directed by Peter K Smith and co-written with Dilip Hiro. Set in the Midlands, it was neorealist in style and remarkable in its breadth, touching on the lives of a young entrepreneur who wants to fit in, strikers at a white-owned factory, a conservative older generation, nouveaux riches whose lives centre on shopping in Harrods, and semi-detached white liberals.
I never backed a film solely because of its ethnicity; it is others who did not back a film because of its ethnicity.
Franco and Martin were inclined to ask Stephen Frears to direct. I admired Stephen's work, but I thought he would be a foreign correspondent. I proposed that either Franco or Martin should direct. It became Franco's first feature. Franco and Martin knew the subject intimately. Franco, a documentary editor, was born in Turin, came to Britain when he was eight and lived in South London, where Babylon takes place. In fact, young black men played Reggae and their sound systems at the bottom of his garden and annoyingly kept his children awake at two and three in the morning. Martin, the son of Jewish immigrants, was screenwriter on Franc Roddam's Quadrophenia (1979), and had worked as a youth and community worker in the area. Chris Menges (later Oscar winner for The Killing Fields and The Mission, and who had, memorably, shot Ken Loach's Kes,) joined as cinematographer and Gavrik Losey, son of Joseph Losey, as producer. Through determination and ingenuity, Gavrik found the balance of the budget. The composer was the legendary Dennis Bovell, the lead Brinsley Forde, actor and founder of the Reggae band Aswad, and all the main actors, bar one, came from the black community. They did not act; they embodied their roles. Italian neo-Realism was a conscious reference for Franco – and the cast had escaped conventional training. The film was unusually physical for the time and for an English film.
The days of white western hauteur, sense of superiority and entitlement to speak with authority about and on behalf of just about everybody else are coming to an end. But the situation is not clear-cut.
There was controversy in the sixties when the Free Cinema middle-class directors (Tony Richardson, Karel Reisz, Lindsay Anderson) made films about working-class subjects: A Taste of Honey, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, This Sporting Life and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. The screenwriters, however, were all working-class, at the top of their game: Shelagh Delaney, Alan Sillitoe and David Storey. Collaboration was key.
Or take Algerian public investment in The Battle of Algiers (1966). This account of epic struggle and the creation of a nation was directed by Gillo Pontecorvo and co-written with Franco Solinas, both Italians. India, too, backed an outsider to tell the story of one of its founders: Richard Attenborough's Gandhi, was part funded by the Indian Film Development Corporation. Also, significantly, Jack Lang, France's minister of culture, approved Andrzej Wajda, the great Polish director, to direct Danton, a historical figure and the voice of the French Revolution.
Creatively, the line should not be drawn between the outsider's or the insider's view – the line should be blurred or even fractured so as to surprise and illuminate. The watchword is authenticity – difficult to define but easier to recognise.
After Tebbit became our boss at the NFFC, we sat on our hands while we waited for him to decide what to do with us. When government, any government, announces a review, the outcome is either 'deep-sea diving boots' or 'the blindfolds'. In the interim, Tebbit appointed two new members to the Board. I was curious as to how he would react to the NFFC's exceptional support of Babylon, which had been backed when Labour was in office a few months earlier. I did not have to wait long. I was summoned to meet a panjandrum from the elite of the civil service to learn our fate. We met in his office in a Georgian terrace house. The room had a high ceiling, tall doors, long windows and pale green wallpaper. It was more an eighteenth century salon than an office. He was courteous, offered me coffee and asked a few questions. Then he got down to business. It was to be the 'diving boots', to slow us down. Our budget would be cut. (I did wonder whether they wanted us to fail so that they could close the shop. If that was the aim, we were not cooperative – an NFFC-backed film participated at the Cannes Festival every year I was at the Corporation). As I put my hand on the door handle to leave, he piped up behind me: 'Mr Hassan, I take it you are going to back radical films and the like.'
Maybe he was thinking of Babylon. Or the films I had backed at the BFI.
'Shouldn't I?' I asked.
'Did I say you shouldn't?' he said.
'No, you didn't. I'll remember that,' I said.
I went back to my office and prepared for a siege. The next two films were David Gladwell's adaptation of Doris Lessing's novel Memoirs of a Survivor, scripted by Kerry Crabbe, and Bill Forsyth's Gregory's Girl. I did not see Babylon as a stand-alone film. Together, all three films were about young people in a changing world: hostile in one, shattered in another, and the last apparently normal but actually shifting. 'Gregory's girl' might be Dorothy the girl footballer, Gregory's ideal, but two others also claim to be Gregory's girl: his young sister, Madeline, and Susan, the girl who brings him down to earth. The three girls are the dynamic centre. Artists see today but also see tomorrow coming.
The National film Finance Corporation was closed down in 1985, to be replaced, sequentially, by British Screen, The Films Council and The British Film Institute…

In Conversation – Lindsay Anderson and Mamoun Hassan
In May 1973, just after the release of Lindsay Anderson's O Lucky Man, London University Audio Visual (LUAV) filmed a conversation/interview with Lindsay Anderson and me. O Lucky Man was the focus of the interview, which was part of an LUAV planned series of interviews with leading figures of the time. The results would be kept in a kind of time capsule and would not be released until fifty or a hundred years later. The project was abandoned early on.

The Meeting (1965) Produced and Directed by Mamoun Hassan
Mamoun was discussing the early steps of working in cinema with a young colleague and she asked him how he started in the industry.
Mamoun realised that he had never spoken about his first completed work: The Meeting, made in 1964.
As Mamoun's first experiments in directing and writing were very dialogue heavy, he felt that he should try to create a piece that had no dialogue at all – as an exercise. The exercise became something else.
The finished film went to Oberhausen in 1965 where it was well received and won a prize. It was reviewed at length in Cahiers du Cinema and as part of the review of the Oberhausen festival in Positif. Both publications are recognised as the two most important film journals in France.
United Artists distributed the film in in Europe as a short feature.
Peter Suschitzky has become a renowned International cinematographer.
Dave King became an illustrious documentary and fiction senior editor at the BBC.
Cleo Boman is a Swedish actor who has worked in theatre and film and is now a director with the Mittiprickteatern, one of the oldest free theatres in Sweden.
John Stokes decided against joining the British film industry, to our considerable loss, and has worked as an artist/designer and also as a theatre designer and actor at the Maddermarket Theatre in Norwich. I thank him for traveling on a train in handcuffs (which we had to return to the local police station which had lent them to us).
One of Mamoun's hands is also in the film….
The extract revue by Bernard Cohn in Positif No. 70 from the Oberhausen Film Festival 1965 (Le Tour Du Monde en 144 heures) is translated here:
The Meeting by Mamoun Hassan is one of the most beautiful films of this festival. It's subject – in a deserted railway station a woman is waiting. She is anxious and her anxiety increases as time passes. An express train rushing through the station at top speed adds to her state of anxiety. A few minutes later a small suburban train slowly comes to a halt. The woman runs towards a carriage door at which a man has appeared. A series of wonderful linked mixes shows them embracing. Suddenly, we see that the man is in handcuffs. He is pulled back roughly by a hand from the corridor. The train whistles and starts to move away, then disappears round a bend in the track. The woman remains alone on the platform and then leaves, back towards the town, where she disappears.
Mamoun Hassan has succeeded in creating a world in which the feelings of solitude and sadness – but also of joy and love – become tangible. Hassan has filmed these grey, sad, tragic settings, these lost characters, with astonishing sensitivity and rigour.

Bill Douglas: Childhood Trilogy in Le Monde: Justified Sinner
Three of the most compelling films about childhood and adolescence – ever made – released for the first time on DVD by BFI.
Bill Douglas has always been appreciated in France but the enthusiastic response of the cinephile media to the DVD release two weeks ago of the Trilogy shows that his status is now higher than ever. He is spoken of as in the 'pantheon' of British directors.
It is particularly gratifying to read a glowing tribute to Bill's work by Thomas Sotinel in Le Monde*. His piece also recognises the role the British Film Institute played in helping the young Scot get his first feature film off the ground in the early 1970's – and contains a reference link to an account on this very website: Bill Douglas – his ain man – (as published by Sight and Sound in 1991)
It is my greatest regret that after I commissioned Bill to write a screenplay adaptation of James' Hogg's 19th Century Classic, Confessions of a Justified Sinner, no funding was forthcoming to make what I believe was a personal and inspired adaptation. I stand by what I said in the article more than 20 years ago:
I hope that when the film is made — and it will be — I can, in my mind at least, make peace with him.
* published at http://www.lemonde.fr/culture/article/2013/07/30/bill-douglas-une-enfance-en-ecosse_3455298_3246.html subscription only, but may be read in full if you put 'Le Monde' and 'Bill Douglas' into your search engine!

EU Parliament Paves the Way for an Ambitious Internet Bill
Electronic Frontier Foundation - October 21, 2020
The European Union has made the first step towards a significant overhaul of its core platform regulation, the e-Commerce Directive.
In order to inspire the European Commission, which is currently preparing a proposal for a Digital Services Act Package, the EU Parliament has voted on three related Reports (IMCO, JURI, and LIBE reports), which address the legal responsibilities of platforms regarding user content, include measures to keep users safe online, and set out special rules for very large platforms that dominate users' lives.
Clear EFF's Footprint
Ahead of the votes, together with our allies, we argued to preserve what works for a free Internet and innovation, such as to retain the E-Commerce directive's approach of limiting platforms' liability over user content and banning Member States from imposing obligations to track and monitor users' content. We also stressed that it is time to fix what is broken: to imagine a version of the Internet where users have a right to remain anonymous, enjoy substantial procedural rights in the context of content moderation, can have more control over how they interact with content, and have a true choice over the services they use through interoperability obligations.
It's a great first step in the right direction that all three EU Parliament reports have considered EFF suggestions. There is an overall agreement that platform intermediaries have a pivotal role to play in ensuring the availability of content and the development of the Internet. Platforms should not be held responsible for ideas, images, videos, or speech that users post or share online. They should not be forced to monitor and censor users' content and communication--for example, using upload filters. The Reports also makes a strong call to preserve users' privacy online and to address the problem of targeted advertising. Another important aspect of what made the E-Commerce Directive a success is the "country or origin" principle. It states that within the European Union, companies must adhere to the law of their domicile rather than that of the recipient of the service. There is no appetite from the side of the Parliament to change this principle.
Even better, the reports echo EFF's call to stop ignoring the walled gardens big platforms have become. Large Internet companies should no longer nudge users to stay on a platform that disregards their privacy or jeopardizes their security, but enable users to communicate with friends across platform boundaries. Unfair trading, preferential display of platforms' own downstream services and transparency of how users' data are collected and shared: the EU Parliament seeks to tackle these and other issues that have become the new "normal" for users when browsing the Internet and communicating with their friends. The reports also echo EFF's concerns about automated content moderation, which is incapable of understanding context. In the future, users should receive meaningful information about algorithmic decision-making and learn if terms of service change. Also, the EU Parliament supports procedural justice for users who see their content removed or their accounts disabled.
Concerns Remain
The focus on fundamental rights protection and user control is a good starting point for the ongoing reform of Internet legislation in Europe. However, there are also a number of pitfalls and risks. There is a suggestion that platforms should report illegal content to enforcement authorities and there are open questions about public electronic identity systems. Also, the general focus of consumer shopping issues, such as liability provision for online marketplaces, may clash with digital rights principles: the Commission itself acknowledged in a recent internal document that "speech can also be reflected in goods, such as books, clothing items or symbols, and restrictive measures on the sale of such artefacts can affect freedom of expression." Then, the general idea to also include digital services providers established outside the EU could turn out to be a problem to the extent that platforms are held responsible to remove illegal content. Recent cases (Glawischnig-Piesczek v Facebook) have demonstrated the perils of worldwide content takedown orders.
It's Your Turn Now @EU_Commission
The EU Commission is expected to present a legislative package on 2 December. During the public consultation process, we urged the Commission to protect freedom of expression and to give control to users rather than the big platforms. We are hopeful that the EU will work on a free and interoperable Internet and not follow the footsteps of harmful Internet bills such as the German law NetzDG or the French Avia Bill, which EFF helped to strike down. It's time to make it right. To preserve what works and to fix what is broken.

About the Manual
Welcome to the BDMP Encoding Manual!
This website contains the official and most up-to-date version of the Encoding Manual used by the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project (BDMP) for encoding Samuel Beckett's manuscripts in TEI-compliant XML. The BDMP offers a genetic edition of Samuel Beckett's works, and falls under the auspices of the Centre for Manuscript Genetics at the University of Antwerp, the Beckett International Foundation at the University of Reading, the Harry Ransom Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin, and the Estate of Samuel Beckett.
The primary purpose of this website is to serve as an encoding resource for our collaborators. In our General Remarks section, they can refresh their memories concerning the basics of TEI-XML encoding in general, and of our project-specific encoding guidelines in particular. And in our section on The Tags, they will find all the information they need on the tags we use to encode both The Header and The Text. But because we think this information may also be useful for other researchers working on similar materials, we wanted to open up the Encoding Manual to the general public too. As a result, we invite anyone who is interested in scholarly editing, TEI-XML, and/or genetic criticism to take a look under the hood of the BDMP, and see how we encode our transcriptions. For more information, please check out our about page. For the most recent update reports, please consult our News and Updates blog. And for questions, comment, bug reports, etc., please refer to our Contact page.

KYLIE Minogue has admitted she doesn't think she'll ever get married following her split from Joshua Sasse.
In a heartfelt interview with Red Magazine, the 49-year-old singer also admitted their engagement felt like an "experiment".
Kylie and actor Joshua split in last year and she's been single ever since.
He meanwhile went on to get engaged just months later but was jilted by his fiancée just days before their wedding.
Speaking about her thoughts on marriage, Kylie said: I never thought I would get married. Just going through 'being engaged' seems like an experiment, because I'd never as a girl or in all my life had a vision of getting married.
When asked about her break up with 30-year-old Joshua, Kylie said she had to take time away before coming back feeling stronger than ever.
She explained: "You can't negotiate the downfall of your relationship carefully. I did have to rebuild myself, physically and mentally a bit. But no, 2017 was a great year.
Last month, Kylie revealed she didn't want people to feel sorry for her in an edition of The Dan Wootton Interview podcast.
She said: ""I fully understand that now so I hope that for all of my trials and tribulations that people, particularly women, can be inspired.
Next month, Kylie will mark her 50th in London with friends and family in a rare personal celebration.
Speaking about her milestone day, Kylie added: "I guess it's different when it's you who is 50. I mean look at people, I don't know how old anyone is.
"Fifty now is very different to when I was 14. God, even 30 would seem ancient when I was 14.

Q: Create trapezoid with 45 degree uprights in Inkscape Following on to this question:
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1419870
I want to make a trapezoid with the uprights at 45 degrees.
So at step #5, how do I stop dragging when at 45?

A: Even though this question is better placed on the graphics SE, and there may be many different answers, I'll add my suggestion.
In order for this to work properly, convert the object to path.
Drag a guide diagonally and place it to intersect the corner of the rectangle. With snapping turned on, it will snap to the corner node.

Drag a second guide horizontally to the top of the rectangle:

Drag the corner node to the intersection of the two guides:

Repeat for the other side. There may be other methods, but I think this one is easy enough.
In the example I've created, it doesn't make a trapezoid, but that's because the rectangle is not wide enough.
If you require angles other than 45°, double click on a guide and change the angle in the dialog box.

Q: Thinktecture Identity Server 3: Client Secrets to protect WEB APIs from unauthorized access I am using the JS application walk through code sample and trying to understand how can I ensure the system is secured.
AFAIK, the secrets provided at the scopes on the identity server have to be validated  after token is passed to Resource API Server to allow access.
So, on the identity server we set a secret for our "api" resource scope like:
      new Scope
            {
                Name = "api",
                DisplayName = "Access to API",
                Description = "This will grant you access to the API",
                ScopeSecrets = new List<Secret>
                {
                    new Secret("api-secret".Sha256())
                },
                Type = ScopeType.Resource
            },

While on the resource APIs we have to validate that this token was granted by a trusted issuer:
  // Wire token validation
        app.UseIdentityServerBearerTokenAuthentication(new IdentityServerBearerTokenAuthenticationOptions
        {
            Authority = "https://localhost:44300",

            ClientId = "api",
            //ClientSecret = "api-secret",
            ClientSecret = "api-secret-changed",

            RequiredScopes = new[] { "api" }
        });

However, I have changed the ClientSecret as in the code, but the user is still authenticated and I can access all the claims.
So, how does secret mechanism for the token validation works?
Do we need to provide also a secret at the Client Level in addition to that provided to the Scope API?

A: The secret on the scope is used for communication with the introspection endpoint.
Introspection is used either if the token is a reference token, or if the validation mode is explicitly set to ValidationEndpoint on the token validation middleware.

I am positive that 225,000 a year is so much of an underestimate as to be actually a drop in the bucket. Do they count the vaccine deaths reported on VAERS? And Health and Human Services says that LESS THAN 1% of vaccine deaths and damages are reported. Probably because most people don't know how to connect the dots, because they're lied to and have information withheld from them. Same with the prescription drug deaths.

New relationship needed with Native Americans
Federal government needs to reassess situation
President-elect Joe Biden is being urged by some to include a Native American in his Cabinet, possibly as secretary of the Interior Department. If he does that, the person named would be the first Native American ever to serve in the Cabinet.
Proponent of such action have a person in mind: U.S. Rep. Deb Haaland, D-N.M. Haaland is a member of the Pueblo of Laguna.Whether Biden names her or another Native American to his Cabinet, he should remake reforming the government's relationship with Native Americans a priority. That could be accomplished through the Interior Department, which administers federal programs dealing with Native Americans.
The relationship is unique. In some ways, it treats Native American governments like states.
How Native Americans were treated during much of our history is a national shame. They were forced off their land and often settled on reservations no white settlers wanted. Individually, many Native Americans were treated as misguided children who needed to be remade in the white majority's image.
All of that was discarded many years ago — theoretically. But as matters stand, many Native Americans lack opportunities taken for granted by most people in our nation.
Clearly, a top-to-bottom re-evaluation of the federal government's relationship with Native Americans is needed. Appointing a Native American to head the Interior Department would be a gigantic step toward making that happen.
Again, however, regardless of how Biden proceeds in naming his Cabinet, change is needed on a very basic level.

Carrie Underwood reveals that she had a C-section with son Isaiah
Shannon June 15, 2015 Carrie Underwood
Carrie Underwood has been absolutely killing it the last few days, stunning fans with the debut of her post-baby body at the CMT Music Awards and then again at CMA Music Fest. What makes her appearance even more impressive is the fact that she's now revealed that she had a C-section with son Isaiah.
Carrie revealed the surprising news to E! last week.
"I couldn't work out for a few weeks because I ended up having to have a cesarean—blah, blah, blah, too much information," she said with a laugh.
TMI? More like holy mackerel! Having a baby and trying to lose the weight afterwards is hard enough. Trust me, it's been 15 years since my last baby was born and I'm STILL working on those last 5 (or 100) pounds. Trying to get back into shape after they've basically gutted you like a fish to bring a precious new human being into the world? Makes how good Carrie looks just four months later even more ah-may-zing!
And while I'm sure a few people will throw out the normal "she's paid to look beautiful" and "she's rich so it's easy" arguments, I still think she's an inspiration.

Over the past weekend I had a chance to "go south" for the first time since I arrived in the Arctic five months ago. And I did what most northerners do when they get anywhere near a mall -- I shopped til I dropped.
My new purchases laid out on the bed, hopefully able to fit in my suitcases!
My destination was Edmonton, Alberta. In addition to visiting the famous West Edmonton Mall for the first time (famous because it's the largest shopping mall in North America and the fifth largest in the world), I had a very specific wish-list of items that I needed to buy. These are things I either can't buy in Inuvik, or which are ridiculously overpriced.
In case you ever wondered what northerners stock up on, I can't speak for others, but this was my personal list: fancy napkins, gift bags and wrapping paper, large picture frames and matting, picnic stuff (tablecloth, plates, etc.), take-out tins with lids (those lids are elusive in Inuvik!), a shower caddy, pretty soap dispensers, art supplies (paintbrushes, palettes), hotpads/trivets, nice cutting board, curtain hold-backs, cake decorating items (food coloring, cupcake liners, cake bases), a journal, hair highlighting kit, fleece throws for the winter (reduced to $12 at Fabricland... what a deal!), squash goggles, and a pair of comfortable Sketchers (got to be sensible in the north!).
Even though Canadian North airline has an impressive baggage allowance (2 pieces, 70 pounds each for a total of 140 pounds, or 63 kg), after all the "fun" shopping, I didn't have as much room as I would have liked for groceries. That said, my suitcases on the southbound journey only weighed 35 lbs together, so I did hit the Superstore on my last evening and bought my favorite granola, lots of tea, LOTS of Keurig coffee cups, chocolate-covered raisins and nuts, dishwasher detergent, vitamins, and contact lens solution!
In the end, everything squeezed in my suitcases, and I came in under the weight limit - one case was 57 lbs and the other was 63 lbs. Next time I need bigger luggage!
Hey Laura, did you get a chance to visit with Rebecca Perra (ne: Looby) when you aere in Edmonton?
These are things I either can't buy in Inuvik, or which are ridiculously overpriced.

DALO was founded in 2010 and ever since has been growing steadily. We now have two bases of operation, in Barnet and Edgware, and over 50 young people attending the programme. At DALO we believe that every young person, regardless of the severity of their disabilities is able to become a productive member of society. Our mission is simple: we aim to empower every young person we work with to gain a considerable amount of independence, allowing them to live as fulfilling lives as possible, as well as giving those that we believe are able the confidence and skill-set to be able to enter the world of work.
We deliver a programme that is both communal and person centred, as well as flexible to fit around other educational or occupational commitments. We believe it to be paramount that the young people build their social skills through interaction with others and through learning how to act as part of a group.
At the same time, each young person has their own development plan and targets whilst we are also able to cater for those that need more one-to-one focused assistance to reach their goals.
We blend both social activities such as day trips, arts & crafts and sports with the life skills qualification, ASDAN, which builds up their knowledge of shopping, cooking, cleaning and general healthy living. This, combined with staff-assisted travel training, we believe lays the bedrock for the young people to not only acquire skills for potential employment, but also for life.
In addition, we also run a pick-up and drop-off service to make sure that everyone who wants to attend our programme, is able to.Most importantly however, DALO provides a fun, stimulating family atmosphere, which we believe to be a key factor in the success of the programme to date.

Fontane (1883), painting by Carl Breitbach
(1819-12-30)30 December 1819
Neuruppin, Brandenburg, Prussia
20 September 1898(1898-09-20) (aged 78)
Berlin, German Empire
Notable works
Theodor Fontane (German: [ˈtʰeːodoɐ̯ fɔnˈtaːnə]; 30 December 1819 – 20 September 1898) was a German novelist and poet, regarded by many as the most important 19th-century German-language realist author.
1 Youth
2 Newspaper writer and critic
4 Wars of German Unification
7 Prose works
8 Poems
Youth[edit]
Fontane was born in Neuruppin, a town 30 miles northwest of Berlin, into a Huguenot family. At the age of sixteen he was apprenticed to an apothecary, his father's profession. He became an apothecary himself, and during 1839, at the age of 20, wrote his first work (Heinrichs IV. erste Liebe, now lost). His further education was in Leipzig, where he became acquainted with the progressives of the Vormärz.
Fontane's first published work, the novella Geschwisterliebe (Sibling Love), was published in the Berlin Figaro during December 1839. His biographer Gordon A. Craig claims that this gave few indications of being a gifted writer: "Although the theme of incest, which was to occupy Fontane on later occasions, is touched upon here, the mawkishness of the tale... is equalled by the lameness of its plot and the inertness of the style in which it is told, and [the characters] Clärchen and her brother are both so colorless that no one could have guessed that their creator had a future as a writer."[1]
Fontane's first job as apothecary was in Dresden, after which he worked in his father's shop in the provincial town of Letschin in the Oderbruch region. Fleeing its provincialism, Fontane published articles in the Leipzig newspaper Die Eisenbahn and translated Shakespeare. During 1843, he joined a literary club in Berlin named Tunnel über der Spree (Tunnel over the River Spree) where he became acquainted with many of the most renowned German writers, including Theodor Storm, Joseph von Eichendorff and Gottfried Keller.
Newspaper writer and critic[edit]
"Modern Book Printing" from the Walk of Ideas in Berlin, Germany – built during 2006 to commemorate Johannes Gutenberg's invention, c. 1445, of movable printing type.
During 1844 Fontane enlisted in the Prussian army and began the first of numerous journeys to England, which fostered his interest in Old English ballads, which he began to imitate. He became engaged to his future wife, Emilie Rouanet-Kummer, whom he had met when still at school.
He played a brief part in the revolutionary events of 1848. During 1849 he quit his job as an apothecary and became a full-time journalist and writer. In order to provide for his family, he accepted a job as a writer with the Prussian intelligence agency Zentralstelle für Presseangelegenheiten, which was intended to influence the press towards the German nationalist cause. There he specialized in British affairs, and the agency made him for several years its correspondent in London, where he was later joined by his wife Emilie, whom he had married in 1850, and their first two sons.[2] While still in London, he quit his government job, and on his return to Berlin became editor of the conservative newspaper Neue Preussische Zeitung. As a man of liberal sympathies, Fontane ruefully wrote to a friend about his job with the Zeitung: "I sold myself to the reaction for thirty pieces of silver a month.... These days one cannot survive as an honest man."[3]
London[edit]
Fontane's books about Britain include Ein Sommer in London (A Summer in London, 1854), Aus England, Studien und Briefe (From England: Studies and Letters, 1860) and Jenseit des Tweed, Bilder und Briefe aus Schottland (Beside the Tweed, Pictures and Letters from Scotland, 1860). The success of the historical novels of Walter Scott had helped to make British themes much in vogue on the Continent. Fontane's Gedichte (Poems, 1851) and ballads Männer und Helden (Men and Heroes, 1860) tell of Britain's former glories.
Fontane, ca. 1860
Back in Germany, Fontane became particularly interested in his home province, the March of Brandenburg. He enjoyed rambling through its rural landscapes and small towns and delighted in the growth of its capital city, Berlin. His fascination with the countryside surrounding Berlin may be seen in his picturesque Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg (Walks through the Province of Brandenburg, 1862–82, 5 vols.), in which he extended his earlier fascination with British history to his native land.
Wars of German Unification[edit]
In 1870 Fontane quit his job at the Kreuzzeitung and became drama critic for the liberal Vossische Zeitung, a job he held until his retirement. He had already written about Prussia's war against Denmark in Der schleswig-holsteinische Krieg im Jahre 1864 (1866) and the Austro-Prussian War in Der deutsche Krieg von 1866 (1869). He went to the front to observe the Franco-Prussian War during 1870, and after being taken prisoner at Vaucouleurs, remained in French captivity for three months. He memorialized his experiences in Kriegsgefangen Erlebtes 1870 (Experiences as a Prisoner of War, 1871) and published his observations concerning the campaign in the book Der Krieg gegen Frankreich 1870–71 (The War against France, 1870–71, published 1874–76). In his observations, he strongly criticized Prussian militarism: "A mere glorification of the military without moral content or elevated aim is nauseating."[4]
At the age of 57 Fontane finally began work on his novels, for which he is remembered best. A fine historical romance, Vor dem Sturm (Before the Storm, 1878) was followed by a series exploring modern life, notably L'Adultera (Woman Taken In Adultery, 1882), which was found so risqué that it took Fontane two years to find a publisher for it.
Graves of Theodor and Emilie Fontane in the Französische Friedhof, Liesenstraße, Berlin.
His novels Irrungen, Wirrungen (Trials and Tribulations, 1888), Frau Jenny Treibel (1892) and Effi Briest (1894–95) yielded insights into the lives of the nobility and the commoners. His achievement in this regard was later described as poetic realism. In Der Stechlin (written 1895–97), his last completed novel, Fontane adapted the realistic methods and social criticism of contemporary French fiction to the conditions of Prussian life.
Fontane died on September 20, 1898, in Berlin. As a member of the French Protestant Church of Berlin, he was buried in the congregation's cemetery on the Liesenstraße. His wife, Emilie, was buried beside him four years later. Their graves were damaged during World War II but later restored.

Marian Śmiarowski (ur. 2 lipca 1842, zm. 24 grudnia 1907 w Warszawie) – polski prawnik, adwokat przysięgły i działacz społeczny w Łomży.

Życiorys
Urodził się 2 lipca 1842 w rodzinie Mateusza i Leokadii z Trojanowskich. W latach 1862-66 uczęszczał do Szkoły Głównej w Warszawie; wcześniej ukończył warszawski Instytut Szlachecki (1859). Gdy zakończył swoją edukację, powrócił do Łomży jako adwokat i bardzo aktywnie wspierał lokalne inicjatywy społeczne. Dzięki pracy na rzecz społeczeństwa przyczynił się do powstania szeregu towarzystw w gubernialnej Łomży, m.in.:
 Teatr amatorski (ok. 1849),
 Towarzystwo Ochotniczej Straży Ogniowej (1879),
 Towarzystwo Dobroczynności (1882),
 Kasa Pożyczkowa Przemysłowców Łomżyńskich (1885),
 Koło Miłośników Muzyki Orkiestralnej (1895),
 Towarzystwo Kredytowe Miasta Łomży (1898).
Prezesem lub przewodniczącym części z powyższych towarzystw był sam Marian Śmiarowski, który realizował swoje plany mimo trudności. W uznaniu pracy społecznej w 1904 uhonorowany został papieskim medalem Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice. Krótko przed śmiercią przeniósł się do Warszawy, pochowany został jednak w Łomży, a jego pogrzeb miał charakter manifestacji społecznej.

Na Cmentarzu Katedralnym w Łomży znajduje się kaplica ufundowana przez rodzinę Śmiarowskich, w której złożone są groby prawie wszystkich członków tej rodziny. Na południowej stronie kaplicy została wmurowana pamiątkowa tablica zawierająca nekrolog Mariana Śmiarowskiego:

Review: "White Light" by Vanessa Garcia
By: Laura Albritton / September 19, 2015
Fear of failure isn't a subject that most artists want to casually sling around in public. But a young painter, writer or musician speaking frankly and privately might give you an earful about the repeated rejections, the disapproval of well-intentioned relatives and the brutal financial pressures.
That's a reality that the Cuban-American narrator of Vanessa Garcia's intense first novel, White Light, knows all too well. On the way to see her gallerist in New York, Veronica Gonzalez confides, "I cross my fingers so hard they go white at the knuckles. My breath begins to shorten. …What if I fail? What if I go in there and talk to Lee and whatever it is she wants, I fail at? What if it's how it always is — close, but no cigar. What about Plan B? There is no Plan B."
Miami-born Garcia paints an emotionally charged portrait of this troubled Miami artist. Even the best of news — that she will have a solo show of her work during Art Basel week — is followed by disaster: Veronica's father, discovered unconscious, is rushed to Mercy Hospital. Garcia vividly captures the nightmarish situation: "Dad's got tubes everywhere now. He has a bruise on his belly, his wide and sprawling belly that despite the fat, now looks swollen and yellow in parts."
Garcia ratchets up the intensity with a succession of scenes not for the squeamish: The hospital staff cannot find a scale sturdy enough to weigh a man so obese. Then her father's ex-girlfriend corners Veronica and confides in heartbreaking detail how he'd begged the woman to perform a certain sex act just the day before.
In the aftermath of his unexpected death, Veronica experiences waves of rage and grief as she attempts to focus on the career break she's been given. Garcia, who's also a playwright, layers present-day moments, such as those with Veronica's commitment-phobic boyfriend Tony, with flashbacks of wretched family dysfunction. In one instance, to get back at his adolescent daughter for defending her mother, Veronica's father took back her car by having it towed and "then he cancelled the gas card he made a big spectacle of giving me along with the car the day of the party."
Witnessing this degree of emotional upheaval is unnerving. The reader longs for Veronica to make sense of her life, her anguish, her relationships — and her urge to create art. A younger Dominican friend, Leo, acts as Veronica's artistic conscience; despite his own pain of having lost his brother in 9/11, he reminds her how much she needs her work to give life meaning.
Salvation comes not through her boyfriend, Tony, whose unwillingness to marry hides a deeper apathy, but through Veronica hunkering down to prepare for the all-important exhibition. Many of Garcia's most skillful passages involve Veronica concentrating on her art (Garcia herself knows a thing or two about the subject — that's her work on the book jacket). Sketching with pen and ink, she reflects, "I think about how drawing itself is like the moment at which love, which I don't always understand, is fulfilled both in its most divine and most human capacity. A masterpiece is the sum of those moments of true connection with the divine, a dialogue with God, a communion — like the wordless dialogue of wall-less stained glass spaces. I know this is why Pollock was a drunk and why Basquiat overdosed. It's because it's hard to come away from this feeling, leave through its back door into the real world."
Garcia also gives the book a rich sense of place, with details that achieve an "only in Miami" specificity, such as the need to run into a cafe to escape a tropical deluge or Calle Ocho celebrations after Fidel Castro cedes power to his brother Raul. As press, guests and collectors fill the gallery space for Veronica's exhibition, the reader feels almost as much anticipation as the artist. What if she fails? What about Plan B? But Garcia reassures us that a life in art can bring its own wonderful rewards.

The best smartwatches of 2022
Manoj Chakraborty
Throughout this year a wide variety of smart watches have been presented. We select the best among all of them. Large screens where you can check all the notifications received on your mobile phone , advanced health monitoring systems, sports activity recording… These are just some of the features that the best smartwatches of 2021 have in common.
Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra
Shockproof, dustproof and waterproof, it measures blood oxygen in real time, performs electrocardiograms and checks heart rate. Among its characteristics are also functions oriented to rest and full attention. For example, the Sleep app records the hours you sleep, while helping to create a schedule, a nighttime routine, and monitors your breathing rate during the night. Meanwhile, the Mindfulness app invites you to take a few minutes to meditate before starting the day.
By placing their fingers on the steel ring that surrounds the sphere of the device for 30 seconds, the user receives a reading of their heart rate, which they can download to send to their doctor. It also incorporates a function related to cardiovascular health: personalized alerts in case abnormally high or low heart rates are detected in relation to the personal limits already registered. The interface can be fully customized while its AMOLED screen has an ambient light sensor, which makes it easy to view in any light.
It is fully customizable in terms of design, thanks to its interchangeable straps and four color combinations, in addition to being able to choose the spheres and functions of its buttons. It incorporates the latest version of Wear OS, Google's operating system for wearables, which allows (among other things) to use Alexa from the watch. Its health-related features include blood oxygen measurement, heart rate monitoring, and body well-being, among others. All this is complemented by fast battery charging: 80% in just 30 minutes.
Equipped with an AMOLED touch screen, it fully monitors sleep, but also other day-to-day parameters, such as stress level: thus, when it detects that it is high, it suggests conscious breathing activities that promote relaxation. It also has other functions related to health such as 'Body Battery', which allows calculating the body's energy reserves, optimizing activity and rest times. With 25 sports and training applications, the battery offers more than ten days of autonomy.
With up to 14 days of autonomy, it improves the heart rate monitoring technology that the firm's smartwatches had until now, being capable of detailed monitoring even at times when the user experiences rapid changes in heart rate, such as It can be during sports activities such as sprints, swimming in the pool or jumping rope. It also offers continuous and real-time monitoring functions for SpO2, sleep, stress and the menstrual cycle.
It is very resistant: it meets the US military certification standard 810G (MIL-STD-810G) which allows it to withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, solar radiation, shock, low pressure (altitude). In addition, it has the demanding IP68 certification in terms of water resistance. With LTE technology, it has the firm's traditional two-screen system (one FSTN and the other AMOLED), thanks to which users can get the look and feel of having a traditional watch but equipped with all the features of a Wear device. OS by Google.
It incorporates a sensor capable of detecting body composition in real time, offering the user information related to fat, muscle mass or the amount of water in the body. To encourage sporting activity, the device incorporates a 'competition' with friends and family that proposes a series of challenges and rewards with a points system.
It has 117 training modes: 17 professional (such as triathlon or swimming) and another 100 related to dance or recreational sports, among others. In all of them, the watch is capable of analyzing and monitoring key data for the user's health: heart rate, speed, calories consumed… The battery provides 50 hours of autonomy with GPS activated. Its screen (1.39 inches) has more than 100 spheres with different themes and customizable.

Hellbent is the sequel to Orphan X and The Nowhere man, and while you can read the books independently there are ***SPOILERS*** in this review if you have not read the first books in the series. I highly recommend reading the books in order for the ultimate reading experience.
It's a voice from his past that sets Evan Smoak, currently known as The Nowhere man and formerly known as Orphan X on his latest race against the clock. With a target painted on his back it is only a matter of time until he caught by the head of the Orphan Program, and is the wrong time to pick up complications - but that is exactly what happens when Jack Johns asks Evan to go to an address and look after the package. It turns out the package is a teenage girl with a complicated story that fits perfectly with the rest of the Orphan Program and the damage it leaves in it's wake.
Used to working on his own, Evan struggles to cope with suddenly having someone else to care for - especially as Joey doesn't want his help, and resents his assumptions that she can't take care of herself. With a hit squad and two Orphans hunting him down on Van Sciver's orders it seems like its only a matter of time before the noose tightens and Evan and Joey fall. But Evan is not that easy to kill, he may be up against superior numbers but he is also an Orphan and with someone to protect he is more determined than ever. With a new person to help, Joey in tow and operatives actively targeting him Evan is in for one hell of a ride.
Hellbent is the third gripping installment in the Orphan X series and while I would have enjoyed reading it on it's own, having the back story from the previous two books made it an even more thrilling and enjoyable ride. Hurwitz has a knack for creating characters that you care about, and putting them in situations that are both adrenaline fueled and realistic. Thanks to a healthy dose of thrillers, action and crime novels (not to mention a healthier dose of watching action movies and TV series) it is easy to get jaded and feel like you've seen everything before - but Evan Smoak and his world of Orphans is at the same time familiar and refreshingly new.
This is a series that deserves to be discovered and the things Evan uncovers in Hellbent make it clear that we have not see the last of the Orphans programme. I highly, highly recommend that you try and read Hellbent in one sitting because having to put it down was very frustrating when all I wanted to do was know what was coming next!


With low ratings and a questionable network, a secondary outlet might help out Impact in the long run.
While the company has been going through some massive changes over the past year, Impact Wrestling always finds itself in not-so-ideal situations.
If you recall, their TV program was originally on Pop TV on Thursday's at 8 p.m. ET. That specific network was shown in over 80 million homes. While it wasn't always an ideal home, it was something. Then, the TV show was moved to 10 p.m., and try as they might some viewers just couldn't stay up late for a two-hour wrestling show. Impact does have the talent, and for the first time in a while, creative has moved them in the right direction. Now, that is all put into question with their latest deal with Pursuit.
Home to primarily hunting, fishing and other outdoor recreation, the Pursuit Channel became the new home of Impact. There were rumors of other, well-known programs looking to invest in wrestling, but that didn't appear to work out. The company would move their programming to 10 p.m. ET on Friday's. Pursuit has grown a little bit (gaining 15% in broadcast distribution), but to many, it is an inconvenience.
Before their 2019 debut on the new channel, Impact made the decision to simultaneously broadcast their show on Twitch, a streaming platform that has provided them with over 69,000 viewers and counting. Known for streaming platforms like League of Legends, Twitch and Impact have worked with one another many times over the years. They have pre-show events before PPV's and have put content on the platform before, including a barbed wire massacre match that was unable to be shown on Pop TV.
While the TV ratings are going to be understandably low, the Twitch ratings vary. Social Blade stats report that Impact's second episode on the platform decreased, with 29,923 compared to the opening week's 39,863. The viewer count on the 1/18 show was at 15,000. While in its infancy stage, viewers are very sporadic. It is somewhat concerning that numbers are already going down, but things can change. Leading up to WrestleMania is when wrestling companies put on their A-game, and with more PPV's on the way, Impact could be onto something.
In regards to Pursuit, there is not much else they can do. The platform could increase in a few homes, but how much time will that take? As the primary home of Impact, the loyal fans will stick through. Everyone else? That is where things start to get tricky.
As the later month's approach, it will be important for the company to maintain some sort of consistency in their streams. That includes spicing up TV tapings and adding content that will surprise and entice many. While the company isn't dying, many always believe that is the case. Are they on their last life? The answer has been yes and no for many years, showing how many times Impact has been able to stay alive and relevant.
2019 will put Impact at an interesting point in their lives where viewership can come from anywhere. The value of said viewership will be extremely important for the survival of the Anthem-led company.
