Abstract: Nearly all periods of Weston's life and work are represented in the archive. Little documentation exists, however, regarding his childhood (1886-1906), early years in California (1906-1923), or life after he was stricken with Parkinson's disease (1947-1958). The archive is particularly rich in documentation of his years in Mexico (1923-1926), and years after he returned to California (1927-1940s). It also contains significant examples of Weston's writing. Many of his letters to his sons are included, as are the original pages for his daybooks. These pages, amounting to 1000 in number, range from undated fragments in an immature hand to clearly dated bold ink scrawls.

Punčocha je pletenina hadicového tvaru v dolní části ukončená šlapkou. Punčochou se těsně obepíná lidská noha většinou do poloviny stehna.

Z historie punčoch
Punčochy jako (tkaný nebo kožený) obal nohou se začaly nosit pravděpodobně ve starověkém Řecku. Nejstarší pletené punčochy jsou známé z archeologických nálezů ze 3.-6. století n. l. v Egyptě.

V Evropě byly ručně pletené, hlavně vlněné, punčochy známé asi od 14. století. Punčochy, i na způsob punčochových kalhot, nosili především muži. Koncem 16. století byl vynalezen
mechanizmus, na kterém se daly vyrábět ploché pruhy pletenin, zpočátku jen v horší jakosti než ručně pletené výrobky, které se stříhaly a sešívaly do tvaru punčochy. Vynález plochého pletacího stroje ("kotonu") ze 60. let 19. století spočíval na stejném principu. Použití tohoto stroje se rozšířilo natolik, že se považuje za začátek průmyslové výroby punčoch. Na zdokonalených kotonech se vyráběla naprostá většina dámských (hlavně bavlněných a později z viskózových filamentů) punčoch až do poloviny 20. století.
Ve 40. letech 20. století se začaly v USA vyrábět polyamidové ("nylonky") punčochy na okrouhlých pletacích strojích. Tento materiál a technologie pleteni se asi o 10 let později u dámských punčoch staly téměř výhradním způsobem výroby. Poměrně levné a praktické nylonky (i české silonky) se staly masovým zbožím. V dalších letech přibyly k základním druhům různé varianty punčochových kalhot, různá vzorování a materiálové směsi (lycra atd.).

Ve 2. dekádě 21. století se odhaduje objem celosvětové výroby punčochového zboží na ročních 35 miliard USD. (Množství odpadu z použitých punčoch dosahuje přes 100 000 tun ročně)

Výroba v České republice
První manufaktura na výrobu punčoch v českých zemích byla založena v roce 1697 v klášteře v Oseku. Nejstarší strojní výroba punčoch vznikla pravděpodobně v Krásné Lípě, kde Josef Heinrich Vatter založil v roce 1882 továrnu na punčochy a ponožky. Potomci zakladatele továrny museli po roce 1945 odejít do Bavorska, kde založili v Schongau pletárnu punčoch, která od roku 1950 nese název Belinda (odvozený od latinského překladu jména jejich rodiště Krásná Lípa).
Firma má od roku 1991 v České republice pod názvem Belinda Česká republika s.r.o obchodní zastoupení pro východní Evropu.

V historii nejúspěšnější punčochárna patřila firmě Kunert ve Varnsdorfu. Podnik vznikl v roce 1907 jako malá pletařská dílna, ze které vyrostla do roku 1938 největší továrna na punčochy v Evropě s denní výrobou 100 000 párů. (Majetek rodiny Kunertů byl v roce 1945 konfiskován československým státem, továrna od té doby vyrábí punčochové zboží pod jménem Elite.)

Podle údajů ČSÚ bylo v roce 2007 v ČR vyrobeno 28,4 milionů kusů punčocháčů a 8,4 milionu párů punčoch a podkolenek. Do roku 2018 se výroba snížila na 5,8 milionů párů punčoch a punčocháčů. Výroba se soustřeďuje na závody ve Varnsdorfu a v Chrudimi.

 Formující punčochy

Materiál k výrobě punčochového zboží
Naprostá většina punčochových přízí se dnes vyrábí z polyamidových vláken (obchodní označení Nylon, Perlon, Silon a asi deset dalších) často s příměsí elastických vláken (Lycra, Spandex apod., u zdravotních punčoch až 25–30 %). Jen na hrubší a speciální výrobky se používají také staplové příze (vlna, bavlna).

Pro jemnost použité příze se používá označení denier (den). Denier (DEN) vyjadřuje sílu použitého vlákna. Čím je číslo vyšší, tím silnější (méně průhledný) je výrobek. Fyzikálně je denier definován jako váha devíti kilometrů příze v gramech. Dámské punčochy se obvykle vyrábějí v jemnostech 20, 15 až 7 DEN. Jemnost použité příze musí být v souladu s hustotou ojehlení pletacího stroje (průměr příze má být asi 1/5 rozteče jehel).

Výroba punčoch

Výroba na kotonových strojích.
Na kotonových stávcích se vyráběla většina punčoch do zhruba poloviny minulého století. Plošný úplet se sešíval podle určitého střihu a tvaroval lisováním.
Hustota oček na kotonových strojích se udávala v gauge (zkratka: gg). Např. nejjemnější dámské punčochy měly 66 gg, tj. 66 oček na 1 1/2 anglického palce (cca 17/cm).

Poslední verze stroje má až 40 vývodů, na každém se plete pruh s šířkou 38 cm s automatickým sešíváním do hadice, na kterou se připlétá šlapka a lem punčochy. Zhotovení sady punčoch trvá 30 minut. Začátkem 60. let 20. století byly kotony skoro kompletně nahrazeny okrouhlými stroji, od té doby se používají jen pro speciální výrobky, např. k výrobě některých druhů kompresních punčoch.

Výroba na okrouhlých punčochových automatech
Na okrouhlých strojích se dají plést punčochy z jemnějších přízí, beze švu a levněji než na kotonech. Proto bylo zejména po uplatnění polyamidových filamentů ve výrobě punčoch v 50. a 60. letech k tomu účelu ve světě vyvinuto několik maloprůměrových okrouhlých "automatů" (také např. v Třebíči)

Používají se
 jednoválcové stroje

se 2-4 pletacími systémy, které pletou klínkovou patu sešívanou přímo na pletacím stroji nebo na šicím automatu.

se 4-8 systémy, které pletou celou punčochu jako jednu hadici, příp. se zesílenou patou a se špicí uzavíranou přímo na stroji
 dvouválcové stroje s oboustrannými (trubičkovými) jehlami. Jehly jsou ovládány platinami tak, že mohou přecházet z jednoho válce do druhého. Pohyb platin je řízen zámky nastavenými podle požadované hustoty, tvaru (pata, špice) a vazby pleteniny. Volbu jehel přes platiny provádí mechanické nebo elektronické zařízení.

Stroje na jemné punčochy mají pracovní průměr 95–102 mm a jemnost 34 E (asi 13 jehel na cm). Na začátku 21. století se běžně dosahuje u strojů se čtyřmi až šesti systémy a s ovládáním jednotlivých jehel kolem 1200 obr./min. Pletení v pěti barvách je možné s 800 obrátkami., jeden pletař obsluhuje 60 až 80 strojů.

Pleteniny se potom napínají na formy k fixování horkým vzduchem, (často) barví, párují a buďto balí k odeslání nebo dále zpracují na punčochové kalhoty.

Když móda požaduje punčochy se švem, imitují se švy výšivkami.

Kompresní punčochy
Princip ochrany žil pomocí punčochového zboží spočívá v tom, že v oblasti kotníku je vytvořen určitý tlak, který se směrem k pasu postupně snižuje.
Kompresní punčochy se vyrábějí z pleteniny s elastickou útkovou nití zavedenou do úpletu. Útek ovíjí spirálovitě tvar punčochy tak, že stahuje svaly nohy s ohledem na její anatomické vlastnosti. Maximální komprese se dosahuje nad kotníkem a na stehno působí tlak cca 40 % maxima. Podle celkového tlaku mezi 2,5 a 6,5 kPa jsou výrobky obvykle odstupňovány do několika tříd.

Kompresní zdravotní punčochy se běžně vyrábějí na okrouhlých pletacích strojích z jádrové příze jak v základní pletenině, tak i v útku. Příze sestává z elastického filamentu opředeného obvykle polyamidovými vlákny. Ve 2. dekádě 21. století mohou stroje speciálních konstrukcí např. při průměru 9,5 cm uplést 1600 řádků za minutu.

Pro punčochy s vyšší kompresí se doporučují pleteniny z plochých kotonových strojů. U těch se v základní pletenině střídá vždy jeden řádek z elastické niti s řádkem z hladkého filamentu. Pletenina má nižší podélnou roztažnost a vyvíjí vyšší příčný tlak.

Celosvětová výroba kompresních punčoch dosáhla v roce 2016 34 milionů párů, na rok 2020 se odhadoval prodej za 1,5 miliardy USD.

Back in 1978, just as it is today, the grassy hill at Alexandria Passenger Station was a great place to spend some time watching and photographing trains. It was busy, with freights from C&O, RF&P and Southern, and passenger trains from Amtrak and Southern. It was train time on May 21, 1978 as railfans manned the hill and passengers waited to get on southbound Southern No. 1, the "Southern Crescent." The train glided into the station with its usual compliment of four E8As.

In New Jersey, most people understand that they are not allowed to drive with a blood alcohol content above a certain level. If they are stopped, tested and register above that level, they will be arrested and charged with the traffic offense of DWI. What many might not be aware of is that they are also required to submit to a breathalyzer test when requested to do so by the law enforcement officer. Choosing not to take the test is known as refusal and is an offense in and of itself.
Even if the driver was not above the legal limit with BAC, there will be an arrest for refusal. This is due to the law of implied consent. Drivers often make the mistake of believing that they are allowed to refuse to take the breathalyzer test thinking that it is a form of self-incrimination and the constitution protects them from having to take it. In truth, a driver is subject to implied consent simply by having a driver's license. The officer can't force a driver to take the test, but there are penalties for not taking it.
The penalties a driver will face for refusing to take a breathalyzer are the same as if there was a DWI conviction. If there is a charge of refusal in addition to a BAC level at or above the legal limit of 0.08%, both DWI and refusal will be charged.
For a first offense of refusal, the driver will face a fine of $300 to $500. The driver's license will be suspended for seven months to one year. $230 will be paid to the Intoxicated Driver Resource Center (IDRC). $75 will go to the Neighborhood Services Fund. $100 will go to each of the Alcohol Education and Rehabilitation Fund (AERF) and the drunk driving fund. There will be surcharges of $1,000 per year for three years.
For a second offense, the fine is $500 to $1,000. The other financial penalties are the same as for a first offense. The driver's license will be suspended for two years.
For a third offense, the fine is $1,000. The IDRC, AERF and drunk driving fund financial penalties are all the same as for the first two offenses. The surcharge will be $1,500 annually for three years. The driver's license will be suspended for ten years. It must also be remembered that if the refusal is in a school zone, the fine and suspension are doubled.
When a traffic stop is made for DWI, the officer must have a justifiable reason for making it. If, for example, the driver is breaking traffic laws, weaving in and out of traffic or making dangerous maneuvers, the officer can make the stop and investigate. The officer will then speak to the driver to see if there are telltale signs of intoxication such as slurring the words, emitting a smell of alcohol or exhibiting bloodshot eyes. The officer will then move on to the field sobriety tests and a breathalyzer. It is at this point that the refusal warning will be given.
In the statement, the officer will tell the driver that he or she has been arrested for DWI. The driver will be told that it is a legal requirement that the breathalyzer test be taken when asked to do so. There will be a number of bullet pointed statements the officer must say to the driver including the information that there will be legal penalties for refusing that will be administered on top of the charges for DWI. At its conclusion, the officer will repeat that the driver is legally required to submit to the test and ask if the driver will agree to take the test. If the driver refuses to take the test, the officer will ask again if the driver is refusing to submit to the breathalyzer test. If the driver doesn't answer or says anything that is not "yes," there will be a charge of refusal.
While the driver is required to follow the rules when asked to take a breath test, so too are officers required to follow the rules. If the officer makes a mistake and doesn't give the proper warning to the driver, the charge can be invalid. An example of how this could happen is if the officer doesn't have the up-to-date version of the warning and reads from an older version. It is also possible that the officer inadvertently omits a part of the statement of warning. Also, it is required that the warning be given in an language that the driver understands. If the driver doesn't speak English, them the warning must be given in a language so the driver will comprehend it. The officer will have the warning in the ten different languages that the driver's written test is given in. When the case is taken to court, if it can be proven that the driver didn't understand the refusal warning, the charges could be dropped.

On September 10, 2019 September 10, 2019 By Steven StraussIn Remember All the Movies, Terry, We'd Go See
Strange But True is roughly the 30,573,483,483,084th movie — in 2019 alone! — to regurgitate the most overused device in the screenwriting (or, perhaps, the editing) handbook, one so prevalent I've even covered it before:
When a movie starts with bits and pieces of the climax, before bringing us back to the beginning of the story so we can find out what led to SUCH AN EXCITING CONCLUSION!!! Sometimes, there are thematic and narrative justifications for doing so — yay! But when there aren't — or, even when there are, it's hard to escape the suspicion that this sort of introduction is being used only because teasing the ultimate stakes is the easiest way to convince us to persevere through all the "boring" bits between now and the excitement we've been promised. It's a problem related to another I've harped on and on about: scripts starting too early in their plots; it's almost like filmmakers can't figure out how to crack compelling openings that engage without so artificially and transparently showing their hand.
Oh, and Strange But True gets worse from there, with equal craftsmanship to boot. It's worth watching…if you've ever wanted to see what actors floundering without a director look like. Or, if you've ever wondered how important directors actually are to acting, specifically in eliciting performances that all feel somewhat of a piece, existing in relatively the same cinematic world the movie conjures. Then again, feeling like they exist at all — i.e., are alive, like living and breathing humans — would've been nice! In Strange But True, they're walking and talking text, with as much animation as Times New Roman.
The "Hamstrung Ensemble" of the year is an annual award of my own invention. It's intended to designate the MOST hamstrung ensemble…and I'm still wrestling with what that means. Is it the ensemble with the biggest gap between their talent and the material? Is it an award for the best actors giving the worst performances (which would support my inclination to dub it "The Marvel Award for Hamstrung Ensemble")? Should I factor in the size of the ensemble, like how many greats are hamstrung?
In any case, come January, Strange But True's Greg Kinnear, Brian Cox, Blythe Danner, Amy Ryan, Margaret Qualley and Nick Robinson will be on the shortlist!
Is This an Approach

Masked Man Vandalizes Statue at Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception
By Paul Wagner, News4 Reporter	• Published December 8, 2021 • Updated on December 8, 2021 at 8:28 pm
A masked man took a hammer to a statue at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Northeast D.C. Sunday night.
The vandal smashed the hands, face and crown of the "Our Lady of Fatima" statue.
The bells of the Basilica rang Wednesday, marking a holy day of obligation in the Catholic church: the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
The vandalized statue was dedicated in 2017, marking the centennial year commemorating the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima.

A spokesperson for the Basilica said a man jumped a fence Sunday about 11 p.m., then smashed the face, cut off the hands and damaged the cross on the crown of the statue.

In a statement, the rector of the Basilica said, "As he left, he took her hands. We have contacted the authorities, and though we are deeply pained by the incident, we pray for the perpetrator through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary under title of Our Lady of Fatima."
"They're very hateful and they're in a lot of pain," a visitor said. "It's a soul in a lot of pain."
D.C. police are investigating. They say they have the surveillance video of the man with the hammer.

A nicely crafted reproduction of a vintage German candy container popular during the first half of the 20th century. The skeleton's head serves as a candy container and his class black top hat lifts off to reveal the treats inside. Paper mache Halloween figures like this are rare today. They might have been used on Halloween party tables … and later thrown away after the treats were gone. That's what leads to rarity! Enjoy the look for a fraction of the "antique" price!

Kamara defeated Sierra Leone presidential candidate heads for court
By The Atlantic Post on April 5, 2018
Samura Wilson Kamara, the defeated Sierra Leone's presidential candidate is heading for the court, hours after the winner, Julius Maada Bio was sworn into office.
According to reports from Freetown, Kamara is alleging "massive ballot-stuffing, over-voting, fraudulent voter registers and other electoral irregularities".
Kamara, who was a former foreign affairs minister, narrowly lost the run-off poll 48.19 per cent to 51.81 per cent polled by Maada Bio.
Now, he wants the court to overturn the result and declare him as the winner. He has seven days to file his case, according to the country's constitution.
Maada Bio was the torch bearer of the Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP), while Kamara was the candidate of the ruling All Peoples Congress in the election that went into a run-off.
According to the result announced by the Sierra Leone's National Electoral Commission (NEC) on Wednesday in Freetown, Bio received 1,319,406 votes representing 51.81 per cent of the 2,546,577 valid votes cast, to defeat the candidate of the ruling party.
Kamara polled 1,227,171 votes, representing 48.19 per cent of the valid votes cast.
The Chairman of NEC, Mr. Mohamed Conteh, who announced the result, said that the national turnout in the election was 2,578,271 representing 81.11 registered voters, while 31,694 invalid votes were recorded.
"Therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred on me as National Returning Officer by sections 52(2) and 94(4) of the Public Elections Act, 2012 (Act No 4 of 20l2), I hereby certify that Bio Julius Manda having polled 1,319,406 of the valid votes cast in the March 31 Presidential election run-off has been duly elected President of the Republic of Sierra Leone.
"Any citizen of Sierra Leone who has lawfully voted in this election may challenge the validity of the said election of the President by petition to the Supreme Court of Sierra Leone, within seven days after the declaration of Presidential result pursuant to section 55(1) of the Public Elections Act, 2012 (Act No. 4 of 2012)," Conteh said.

Firmly grasp the leg so it is snug between your fingers.
As you are grasping the leg, turn the leg counter clockwise about 80-90 degrees and pull up. This should take the leg out of its socket.
Pull up so the leg is out of it's socket. Now you can put in the replacement leg.

Jamie Cummings and Nicole Strout, both senior athletic training majors, studied Eastern medicine in a study abroad experience in Taiwan.
One of the therapies they practiced included cupping, which is used by Olympic athletes for muscle relief.
Jamie Cummings and Nicole Strout, both senior athletic training majors, are spending this semester back in high school.
They are interning with the high school football teams at Shorecrest Preparatory School and Clearwater Central Catholic, respectively, an opportunity saved for the final stretch in the athletic training program. For Strout, it's been a study in professionalism in working with students not much her junior.
It wasn't that long ago Strout was playing soccer year-round in high school and finding herself injured and hanging out with her athletic trainer, who inspired her to a career in the field.
The way the athletic training program is designed at UT, students receive a lot of academic buildup prior to their senior internship — two terms of examination and assessment of illness and injury, the medical and surgical aspects course, two semesters of therapeutic interventions, plus clinical rotations.
Cummings, of Westport, MA, said UT has shaped her career goals by exposing her to different professions in the health field. She's worked with athletic trainers, shadowed general medicine and orthopedic physicians, as well as observed up close a handful of orthopedic surgeries such as an ACL replacement.
"My program also has a class where an orthopedic surgeon of a different specialty comes in each week to talk about common surgical issues with said body part, and it's in that class where I truly discovered a passion for surgery," Cummings said.
For Strout and Cummings, the preparation was also clear during their study abroad experience in Taiwan this summer.
For three weeks, the two took courses in global issues in athletic training and clinical experiences. The program was offered through the University of Georgia and had 20 students from universities across the U.S. They stayed on campus and studied at the National Taiwan Sport University where they had class daily in the mornings and physical therapy clinics in the afternoon. They'd rotate to different sports (like tai kwon do, badminton, baseball, tennis) and observe their athletic trainers, sometimes assisting in therapies like massage, icing and cupping.
Strout said table tennis athletes tend to have a lot of elbow and wrist tightness, ("You would think oh, it's ping pong, but it's intense," Strout said.) Archery tends to cause rotator cuff injuries. And then there's judo.
Learning traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, herbal remedies and cupping piqued Strout's curiosity. After graduation in May, she wants to pursue graduate school and focus her research on taking a Western approach to the traditional Chinese techniques she learned this summer.
For Cummings, she said it has made her think more creatively.
Andersen said athletic training, while traditionally a U.S.-centric field, is growing abroad. Taiwan and mainland China's marketplace for athletic training is poised for growth. Canada and Ireland have a mutual recognition agreement with the U.S. so students in athletic training fields can become credentialed in those countries. The opportunities to study abroad in Taiwan just adds to Strout and Cummings' marketability after graduation.

Healing is work, not gambling. It is the work of inspiration,
not manipulation…. The work of healing is work for inspirers
working long and steadily in a group that grows over generations,
until there are inspirers, healers wherever our people are
scattered, able to bring us together again.
--Ayi Kwei Armah
If we are to become a psychologically, physically and spiritually whole people once again, both collective as well as individual healing must take place. Too many psychic wounds remain open and festering. These scars and this trauma are real. This generation to generation pain is not imagined. Although some things have changed, far too many are worse than the same. We are descended from people that have been held hostage for so long, we no longer have memories of a time when we were truly, "free." Yet, somehow, we continue to survive. We continue to thrive in spite of the new, more sophisticated impediments devised to prevent black people from turning "promise land" dreams into new realities.
Colin Kaepernick is not the first person of African descent to call out the naked power of White American society. He is just another in a very long, long line. As soon as enslaved African people learned to command the languages of their enslavers, a complicated inter-racial life and death dance-dialogue began in earnest. In this country, black folk cried out in Field Hollers, cried out in Spirituals, "Mary don't you weep, and don't you moan …," or, "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child, a long way from home." It began in the "gut bucket" Blues voices that still echo inside the singing that has always made "a way out of no way," through and around the hurt.
The systematic rape of Africa, African people, and, by extension, other peoples of color,
began during the European Trans-Atlantic "slave" trading era. Walter Rodney writes, "In the centuries before colonial rule, Europe increased its economic capacity by leaps and bounds, while Africa appeared to have been almost static…. The relevant fact is that what was a slight difference when the Portuguese sailed to West Africa in 1444 was a huge gap by the time that European robber statesman sat down in Berlin 440 years later to decide who should steal which parts of Africa…. which provided … the opportunity for Europe to move into the imperialist epoch … and further underdevelop Africa."
If there is going to be a genuine discussion of the true nature of "systemic racism" in the development of this society, a proper historical context must be established. From the very beginning, the United States has always been a nation hopelessly trapped between two violently opposing truths: the projected illusion, "The land of the free and the home of the brave" and the actual American, aristocratic slaveocracy and the inhumane fact, black lives have never really mattered. The lives of indigenous peoples have never really mattered. Indentured servant whites never really mattered. Women, no matter their color or class, only mattered as possessions.
Black voices have always spoken truth to power. Olaudah Equiano wrote, "When you make men slaves you deprive them of half their virtue, you set them, in your own conduct, an example of fraud, rapine, and cruelty, and compel them to live with you in a state of war." He pointed out, the natural enemy of the slave is his master and the natural enemy of the master is his slave. Sojourner Truth. Nat Turner. David Walker. Harriet Jacobs. Martin R. Delaney. Bishop Henry McNeil Turner. Frederick Douglass said, "It is not light we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake."
Since the death of George Floyd, the fire, the thunder, the storm, the whirlwind and the earthquake have all materialized. To simply put black and brown faces in highly visible political, corporate, educational and/or social positions is not necessarily the answer to curing the illness that is a plague in this or in any white society; especially when those darker faces merely become masks disguising the same forces of white supremacy. Just as some African "Royals" were complicit in the selling of Africans into slavery, there are self-serving black leaders, today, who cynically serve the interests of the powerful forces that continue to undermine and exploit us.
I began this commentary with an excerpt from The Healers, by Ghana's Ayi Kwei Armah, because I identify so much with the story and its main characters. When Master Healer Damfo tells Densu, "the present is where we get lost—if we forget our past and have no vision of the future," I hear him as if he is speaking directly to me. His message resonates even more in this momentous point in time we are experiencing now. The United States is a land in desperate need of spiritual healing. The "dis-ease" of white supremacy is a malignant cancer devouring its collective soul. As a community of black people living in this country, we have been indelibly infected by this sickness.
If this nation is to ever become the society it claims to be on paper, this long over-due inter-racial dialogue that is slowly taking shape must be open and honest. It must also evolve on three distinct levels. First, white people must speak to, and, deal with, each other. They must confront their own personal, as well as their group demons. The late clinical psychiatrist, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing diagnosed racism as a potentially treatable mental illness in her groundbreaking, but still controversial, The Cress Theory of Color Confrontation and Racism (White Supremacy): A Psychogenetic Theory and World Outlook. Whether the Welsing theory is plausible or not is not really the point. I refer to it because it is an attempt to make sense out of observable behavior patterns that have always been senseless. The victims of Europe's self-proclaimed "Manifest Destiny" have always asked, "Who are these people?"
She writes, "… [the] white peoples of the world presumably also could benefit from such an awareness of the motivation behind behaviors that often baffle them. If they are sincere in their attempts to stop the practices of white supremacy (racism), whites may be able to find methods to do so once the cause is understood. Perhaps some psychiatrist will develop a method of mass psychotherapy (i. e. therapeutic counter-racist theater) to help whites become comfortable with their color and their numbers. However, one can foresee a major problem arising from the possible difficulty of motivating whites to release the secondary gains historically derived from the racist system."
Second, this inter-racial dialogue must finally acknowledge, there is a legitimate black perspective. White people must accept the story of the African experience in the so-called "New World" as told by black people. There are definite reasons why white people and black people, looking at the same thing, clearly see different things. Moreover, when black people do speak to what we see, white people invariably go on the defensive and dismiss or deflect a point of view that requires a level of empathy and self-reflection that can be painful. Many white people tend to operate from the belief, their perception of reality is the reality. They consciously and sometimes unconsciously resist the possibility that their way is not the only way.
Third, black people in America must begin to understand, we are an essential part of a global community of Africans and peoples of African descent. We must finally embrace real black diversity. We have evolved into new tribes. We are one of several distinct groups of people of African descent--i. e. African Americans, Jamaicans, Brazilians, Haitians, etc.--that emerged in the New World. We are a people of many hues, skin tones and hair textures, due in large part, to the rapist behavior of so many white men. African Americans are urban, suburban and rural. We are Democrats, Republicans, Independents, while some of us have never believed in or participated in the "politricks" of a "shitstem" that has always been corrupt. We are not all Christians. We are Muslims. We are Rastas. We practice traditional African ways of life and more. We have family members who are gay, lesbian and transgender. We have to learn how to respect, how to protect, and, how to genuinely talk to each other.
This third level should be a primary focus. The daunting work of putting shattered black lives back together is a formidable challenge. I have even heard it said, "If we are to save ourselves from white people, we will have to help save the white people from themselves." A very intriguing proposition, but I think we will have to debate its merits in conference amongst ourselves. Do we accept the mistaken notion the black experience begins with slavery in the United States, or do we recognize the historical narrative that our experience begins in Africa and the exile in America merely represents chapters in an epic tale that is still unfolding?
We must determine how our story is to be told. Which way forward? If we do not work to heal ourselves, who will heal us? We cannot turn away from this work because it will not be finished in our lifetime. Each generation has a distinct role to play in this long and agonizing climb out of and up from slavery. During the first two decades of the 20th century, black folk came together and declared the birth of a "New Negro Renaissance" in Harlem. Africa's lost tribes were awakening from our Dark Ages. The movement ebbs and flows but it never stops. Previous generations struggled to break out of the shackles that restricted black bodies. Maybe this generation will finally break the chains that still shackle black minds.
Returning to The Healers, we should heed Master Healer Damfo's final lesson to Densu as advice from the ancestors, "Often, our confusion comes merely from impatience. The disease has run unchecked through centuries. Yet sometimes we dream of ending it in our little lifetimes, and despair seizes us if we do not see the end in sight. A healer needs to see beyond the present and tomorrow. He needs to see years and decades ahead. Because healers work for results so firm, they may not be wholly visible till centuries have flowed into millennia. Those willing to do this necessary work, they are the healers of our people."

"We're Arctic Monkeys and this is 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor'. Don't believe the hype."
Believe it or not, Alex Turner uttered those words over a decade ago. Since then, they've arguably become the biggest British band since Oasis and Blur.
Two years after their monumental first LP, they returned with songs full of introspective lyrics and a more robust production. 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' arrived with the unparalleled pressure of following up to 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'. And those who didn't believe the hype might have expected failure. How very wrong they were. 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' might not be as iconic as their first album, but 10 years later, it's sounds the better record.
On December 23, it was reported that Arctic Monkeys were back in Sheffield to work on a new album together. Prior to this, Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr had become inundated with photos of Alex, Matt, Jamie and Nick spotted around the city. Keen admirers of Arctic Monkeys probably thought Christmas had come early.
It's a rare sighting of the band back on their home turf, who have rightfully moved on from songs about taxi trouble in High Green and Hillsborough to scene setting lyrics of the Los Angeles nightlife. There is, however, something wonderful about seeing the band back together in Sheffield, which even LA's sun-kissed scenery can't match.
Denzil Watson, singer of Sheffield post-punk band RepoMen, has solid connections in the steel city music scene. ''I remember when Alex Turner used to serve me at The Boardwalk, where they played their gigs, before he went on stage,'' he says. The famous venue of the band's salad days has sadly closed since, an unfortunate sign of the times. Arctic Monkeys' song 'Beneath the Boardwalk' was shared through emerging social media such as Myspace, as file sharing and streaming started to change the music industry.
Arctic Monkeys came onto the scene during emergence of streaming services, which was crucial to their success, Denzil recalls: ''The planets just aligned for them, and they got big very, very quickly. The first album blew the doors off, and the second album proved that it wasn't just a one-off''.
After first attending a Monkeys gig back in March 2005, a time in which the gigs had started to have a feeling of euphoria around them, it was clear Sheffield had found something special. ''The music struck a chord with the whole crowd, who were just singing back at them.''
In 2007, Denzil reviewed a Monkeys gig at the 900-capacity Leadmill in Sheffield, just after the release of 'Favourite Worst Nightmare'. By this point, they'd by far surpassed being your average Sheffield band. "If truth be told, the band could have sold out two nights at the arena, let alone the Leadmill."
It was becoming increasingly difficult to get to the gigs at this point. Even the touts didn't have tickets. ''I had a friend over from China who was a massive Arctic Monkeys fan who wanted to go (to the Leadmill)," says Denzil. "But there were simply no tickets whatsoever, and she just couldn't go." It was getting all the more evident that they would soon become a stadium act. Later that year, the Monkeys went on to headline Glastonbury.
'Favourite Worst Nightmare' opens with 'Brianstorm', a song which, despite the lyrical quirk, undoubtedly belongs to drummer Matt Helders. The song was one of the Monkey's heaviest to date, and one review compared its sound to ''Josh Homme's personal herd of Rhinos."
It would be rude to look past some of the album's quieter moments, with songs such as 'Only Ones Who Know', and 'Do Me a Favour' showcasing Alex Turner's ability to churn out Morrissey-esque lyrics of young romance and doomed relationships. The album feels much more rhythmic than its anthem-lead predecessor, with each song taking the time to explore new avenues. It all builds up to the heartfelt crescendo of '505', a song which sees Turner move into lyrical territories that have stayed with him since.
A decade later, the album still provides the replay quality that's the signature of any great band. It holds up well today, and it's evident that they were a lot more 'world wise' than on their debut. "With 'Favourite Worst Nightmare', it isn't pinned down to Sheffield at a particular time like the first one was, and it hasn't dated as much," says Denzil In retrospect, there's something strangely relevant about the maturing lyrics of 'Fluorescent Adolescent', a song in which Turner (21 at the time), looks back on his adolescence with the realisation of the responsibility that comes with getting older.
After the success of 'Favourite Worst Nightmare', Monkeys headed out into the desert to work with Josh Homme on 'Humbug' (2009). It was arguably the band's most dividing album, but one that was pivotal to the development of their much more American aesthetic. Following albums 'Suck it and See' (2011) and 'AM' (2013) have seen the band move even further away from their Sheffield foundations, but they certainly have the same stature as fellow locals Pulp, Richard Hawley and The Human League. "I was in the middle of Peru once and when I told someone I was from Sheffield, and they went 'Oh, Arctic Monkeys'. It just shows you how popular they are.'' Their accents might be starting to lose their trademark Yorkshire twang, but Denzil insists that Alex Turner is still "very much a local lad."
Eagle-eyed fans will have also understood the significance of '0114' (Sheffield's dialling code) worn proudly on Matt Helders' bass drum on recent tours. Monkeys' reappearance in Sheffield for new material implies familiarity, but this is a band who have always refused to sit still, so don't get your hopes up for another 'Favourite Worst Nightmare'. Instead, re-visit the album, whic remains a proverbial classic.

Yes, You CAN Donate & Recycle Old Tattered Clothing!
I just found this out five seconds ago, and had to share it with all of you immediately.
I was checking out one of my favorite blogs, Danny Seo's Simply Green, and he had a wonderful little article up on his site about donating clothes.
Did you know that you can still donate ripped jeans, and tattered, sweat-stained shirts? Did you know you can still donate things that would never sell, like bell bottoms, old Flock of Seagulls shirts, and stinky socks?
Here's why: according to Danny, only about 10% of donated clothing ever ends up on store shelves for resale. The tattered stuff gets sold to textile recyclers, who shred it up and use it in other things. Charities like Goodwill and Salvation Army make good money reselling our old tattered clothing.
So, there's no reason to put old clothes in the trash! Donate away!
interesting! I had NO idea and usually end up cutting up old clothes to use for rags and then trashing the rest. thanks for the tip.
Yeah, I had no idea either. I do the same thing, cutting up for rags and then trash. But not now! I was super happy to find this out.
I'm linking to my relevant post. Thanks for the new info.
You can also donate them (minus the buttons, snaps and zippers) to animal shelters. The shelter that I volunteer at uses them for bedding for the cats and dogs when they are in their kennels. It's good to know that other places don't just throw them away, though!
I recently took down some very old drapes that I'd "inherited" from the former owners of my 48 year old house I bought last year. The drapes were original to the house and one part was so threadbare the light showed through it. I called our local Goodwill Industries, and yes, they accept such donations — not to sell in their thrift stores, but they bale worn-out fabrics and sell them to recyclers. My dusty, threadbare drapes will become insulation. I kept the drapes out of the landfill, and the proceeds will help fund Goodwill's charitable works. Also, I replaced the drapes with some really nice looking drapes (in like-new condition) I bought in another thrift store — so the replacements are also frugal and green! Before donating the old drapes, I made sure I took out the drapery pins, which are like new and can be reused yet again, saving me even more money on drapery hardware. One caveat: check with the charity before you donate stuff like this, because not all charities recycle old fabric in this way.

Theatre: A shatteringly good journey into night
Robert Tanitch
Slice 1
Eugene O'Neill is America's greatest playwright and Long Day's Journey into Night, at Wyndham's Theatre, is his greatest play, an act of exorcism, written in tears and blood, and so autobiographical that he didn't want it published until 25 years after his death. It is, perhaps, the most painful and acrimonious of all 20th-century dramas. Written with deep pity and understanding and forgiveness for his family, O'Neill didn't ever want it staged. Fortunately, his wishes were ignored.
Thirty-six years of marriage is concertinaed into one long day. The Tyrone family cannot forget and they cannot forgive. They blame each other for what they are: miser, morphine-addict, waster and consumptive. The bitterness is in every word they utter. The knife is turned in the same wound over and over again. The play's great weakness – its garrulousness, its inordinate length and its endless repetitions – is paradoxically its greatest strength. Richard Eyre directs an excellent cast: Jeremy Irons, Lesley Manville (superb), Matthew Beard and Rory Keenan.
Christopher Wheeldon has turned Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale into a ballet at the Royal Opera House. The pastoral scenes in the second act, with dancing shepherds and their lasses, are perfect for the divertissements a classical ballet audience expects. Bob Crowley has designed a beautiful tree. The dancing is exuberant; the costumes are colourful. Sarah Lamb as Perdita and Vadim Muntagirov as Florizel are a tender kissing couple. It is all so bright and jolly, a huge contrast to what has gone before.
The story begins in sombre mood. King Leontes (a paranoid, contorted Ryoichi Hirano), suddenly and quite irrationally believes his wife, Hermione (an elegant, serene Lauren Cuthbertson), has committed adultery with his best friend, Polixenes (Matthew Ball) and become pregnant by him. His paranoia, second only to Othello's, drives him to insanity, brilliantly caught in the writhing choreography and Joby Talbot's dramatic music, a perfect equivalent for Shakespeare's tortured and sometimes unintelligible verse.
Sarah Burgess in Dry Powder at Hampstead Theatre takes a barbed look at late capitalism and corporate social responsibility. The finance is high and the morality is low. Initially, I had difficulty with the financial jargon, but, surprisingly, found it didn't matter and was totally held by the acting and the interplay between the actors. Tom Riley is stylish. The production is smart and business-like.
The Japanese were out in force at the Barbican Theatre to see director and choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui's comic-book spectacle Pluto, which takes its inspiration from Osamu Tezuka, the Japanese manga artist. The story about robots and humans coexisting is uninvolving but the coordination between actors, dancers, scenery and graphics – projected on seven panels which are constantly being moved into different shapes – is very impressive.
Alan Ayckbourn admits The Divide at The Old Vic is not a play. "It's a strange sort of piece," he says "… a narrative for voices", set in a dystopian future when heterosexual marriages are forbidden and children are produced by artificial insemination alone. Erin Doherty does a remarkable job holding Annabel Bolton's production together. But even when cut from six hours to three hours and 50 minutes, it is still far too long and loses the audience in the second half.
Theatre: Good reason to watch this witty love story

Sharpa was a pretty young girl who rarely mixed with other girls. One late afternoon, she was seized by a demon near the spring outside the village. The demon carried her to his castle in the dark world as a servant for his son. But Incomplete Demon, his son, had a soft heart and couldn't carry out the evil commandments written in their sacred book.

"The president is saying he's been completely and totally exonerated by the report".
President Donald Trump: "There are a lot of people out there that have done some very, very evil things, very bad things-I would say treasonous things-against our country".
Scarborough noted how Trump still "lies more than any other president in the United States" and reeled off a list of falsehoods that Trump has previously told about health care, his proposed U.S. -Mexico border wall and tax cuts.
In a letter to congressional leaders, Barr said Mueller concluded that Russian Federation unquestionably meddled in the 2016 USA presidential election, but that Trump and his campaign did not conspire with Moscow to help him win the White House.
The outcome jolted the Democrats, who immediately waved it off as largely opening the path for over a dozen investigations already ongoing against Mr Trump than an absolute exoneration of the president. But asked on Monday if Mueller had acted honourably, Trump said: "Yes".
Six House Democratic committee chairmen wrote to Barr and asked to have Mueller's full report by April 2.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday branded the mainstream media the "enemy" and the "opposition party" after the Mueller report cleared him of collusion, accusing journalists of covering the Russian Federation probe unfairly.
According to the Committee Chairmen, Barr's summary is "not sufficient for Congress, as a coequal branch of government, to perform this critical work".
"The Mueller investigation is the gold standard", White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told reporters Tuesday during a 20-minute question-and-answer session outside the West Wing. By the end of the month, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., is still planning to introduce her resolution calling for the Judiciary Committee to investigate grounds for Trump's impeachment.
The memo quotes six individuals, four of whom are serving Democratic politicians, making claims about the existence of evidence of collusion between Trump's campaign and Russian Federation.
On the other side of the Capitol, Republicans in the House blamed Democrats who now wield the chamber's majority - and, in particular, Schiff - for fanning the flames of a collusion storyline they say Mueller has now debunked.
Trump had repeatedly accused Mueller, a former Federal Bureau of Investigation director, of running a "witch hunt" with a team of "thugs" and having conflicts of interest. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham promised to "unpack the other side of the story" of the Russian Federation investigation.
Many Democrats say Barr is conflicted because of his views - expressed in a memo to the administration before becoming attorney general - that the president can not be charged with obstruction since he oversees the Justice Department.
Such capabilities have raised fears of the weaponisation of space and setting off a race between rival powers. The United States ran the first anti-satellite test in 1959, when satellites themselves were rare and new.
Smollett's attorney, Tina Glandian , said that she would welcome cameras in the courtroom for Thursday's hearing. The judge assigned to the case will rule on whether there will be cameras allowed at future hearings.
O'Connor ruled that Congress's elimination of penalties for not buying health insurance rendered the law unconstitutional. But that possibility was foreclosed when Democrats won control of the House in last year's midterm elections .
Bowlers soon struck back as the Royals batting collapsed from 148-2 to 164-9 as a disappointed Smith looked on from the dugout. Royals head coach Paddy Upton stated: "I think R Ashwin's actions tonight speak for him and represent him".
There are a few key differences between the two phones, just as there were between the P20 Pro and P20 previous year . Spec wise, the P30 Pro features a 6.47-inch OLED display while the standard P30 comes with a 6.1-inch OLED display.
Franklin is the cofounder and executive director of the California Supreme, a basketball program in Southern California. A press conference to discuss the charges against Avenatti is scheduled to take place later this afternoon at 2:30 p.m.
Moore, 59, previously served as a Trump 2016 campaign adviser and is now a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation. But he added, "over time obviously we want to reduce that balance sheet and not have these massive amounts of debt".
He has frequently derided Mueller's work as a "witch hunt" and denies collaborating with Moscow or obstructing justice. They're also calling for Barr to testify on Capitol Hill.
Apple's App Store, where the service is likely to be distributed, is now available in more than 100 countries. This will offer access to over 200 magazines as well as newspapers like the WallStreet Journal.

Home/News/Skype Translator can now translate spoken Russian during calls
Skype Translator can now translate spoken Russian during calls
Vishal Laul News, Skype Leave a comment
Microsoft showed off Skype Translator for the first time in 2014, and released it as a public preview in January of this year; a new language has been added with support for spoken language translation: Russian.
The Skype Translator blew everyone way when it was first demonstrated by Satya Nadella in 2014. It can translate video-calls from different languages in real-time – It shows the beginning of a world that can communicate without language barriers.
Until now, Skype Translator supported eight languages for real-time speech translation: English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese (Mandarin), Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian), and Arabic. Now you can say Привет to Russian.
The addition of Russian comes just a few months after Arabic, which was added in March this year.
Besides the nine languages for real-time speech translation, Skype also supports about 50 languages for text translation during a chat – you can find the full list of all languages Skype supports over here.
Skype has built the Translator using advanced machine learning – the more It is used, the better it gets at translating in real-time. Perhaps this is why it is still in the public preview phase; as the system is still gathering data about translations, it is getting better – eventually ready for a proper public release.
"For months, we've received many requests to include Russian in Skype Translator's audio language portfolio, and we are so excited to finally cross this milestone, opening up one of the most dialectically complex languages on earth to anyone with a Skype account," the Skype team said in a blog post.
Google also uses machine learning for some of the languages in its translator – but Google does not offer real-time speech translation. While Skype Translator is still in the public preview phase, it shows what is possible with the current technology.
Unfortunately, in preview phase, the feature is only available on Windows. You can enable the translator by clicking the 'globe' icon in any chat on Windows and selecting the language for both text and spoken translation separately.

Q: How to make KVM guest forget IP address deleted from /etc/hosts? In my workstation I run a KVM hypervisor containing:

*

*a guest VM running Xubuntu as my developer environment.

*a guest VM running Ubuntu server as my development target.

I set the IP address of the development target in the /etc/hosts file of both the Xubuntu client and in the host workstation
Finally, I have a remote VPS in the cloud somewhere with a public IP address.
After preparing and testing the setup in the local development target I deleted its address from /etc/hosts in both the workstation and the Xubuntu guest, expecting my installation scripts to immediately use DNS to connect to the remote VPS.
They didn't.  Instead bash stubbornly insists that the 192.168.122.115 address is correct.
If I set the correct remote IP address in /etc/hosts I can ping it without trouble, but it reverts to the local address as soon as I comment out the correct address.
Weirdly, FireFox finds the remote host correctly but Chrome cannot find it all!
The remote host is protected by CloudFlare:

I have done this many times with other KVM configurations and have never seen this before.
Any and all hints on how to deal with this gratefully received.

Questions:
If Xubuntu is getting the incorrect IP address neither from /etc/hosts nor from the VM's DNS cache, where would it look next?
What else can I do to track this down?

'Aqua Teen' Causes Bomb Scare?
What a SNAFU. Perhaps you have heard by now, reader, how all hell broke loose in Boston yesteray when a guerrilla ad campaign for Adult Swim's Aqua Teen Hunger Force was mistaken for a real bomb scare. Adult Swim had positioned the LED lights throughout most major cities in the U.S., including New York and LA, as a promotion for the popular Aqua Teen short, set for its own movie offshoot this fall. For its part, Adult Swim has now issued an apology on its site—although how you mistake a Mooninite for a bomb threat is beyond us. Man, the money that could have been saved if they'd consulted just one 15-year-old pothead.
