linguistic ideologies
Abstract: Two-hundred-and-eighty-five African Americans completed a web-based survey to explore their linguistic ideologies (i.e., beliefs about socially embedded words), racial identity attitudes, and usage of the word nigga. The current study used a transformative-emancipatory mixed methods approach. Participants completed a survey with published measures, including the Cross Social Attitude Scale (CRIS; Vandiver et al., 2000), items from my previous research (Dodson, 2010), and open-ended questions. The data were integrated during analysis and combined during the presentation of the data in the results and discussion sections. In addition, individual interviews were conducted with philosopher and public intellectual Dr. Cornel West and hip-hop artist and actor Common to further develop key themes identified in the findings. Although the overwhelming majority of the participants (79.9%) used the word nigga at some point in the recent past, 41.5% believed that the word should not be used and half of the participants (50.0%) believed the word both should and should not be used. To examine within group differences in the use of the word nigga, I explored if participants' endorsement of linguistic ideologies, or beliefs about socially coded language, were related to acceptance of the use of the word. I investigated five linguistic ideologies: Indexicality (i.e., the word nigga can have different meanings depending on the social situation or cultural context), Personalism (i.e., the deciding factor in determining the meaning for the word nigga comes from the beliefs and/or intentions of the speaker), Reshaping (i.e., the word nigga is a reshaping of the historical racial slur nigger), Baptismal (i.e., the word nigga can never be harmless because of its original meaning as a racial slur), and Performative (i.e., the word nigga should not be used since it may be emotionally harmful to those who hear it). The coding results for participants' responses to the open-ended were consistent with the linguistic ideologies examined in this study. The context of the usage of the word nigga was also investigated. Specifically, I examined if the racial background of the speaker (Black or non-Black) and/or public/private settings influenced participants' beliefs about appropriateness for the word nigga. Findings from hierarchical multiple regressions indicated linguistic ideologies accounted for a significant amount of variance in levels of acceptance for use of the word nigga in each of three contexts: (1) used among Black individuals, (2) used among non-Black individuals, and (3) used in public spaces. Reshaping ideology (i.e., the word nigga is a reshaping of the historical racial slur nigger) was a unique predictor of each of these contexts; greater endorsement of a Reshaping ideology was related to greater levels of acceptance of the use of the word nigga across each of the three contexts. Contrary to my hypothesis, participants' racial identity attitudes were not related to level of endorsement of the word nigga in this study.

Q: Downloadable example of a normalize Inmon Enterprise Data Warehouse I am familiar with Kimball data warehouses, but I have never seen an Inmon data warehouse.  With all my research, I'm looking for a real example.  I understand that Inmon data warehouses are normalized and work with a top down approach.
Is there a downloadable example of this similar to the AdventureWorks databases that Microsoft offers?  I'm looking for how the transactional data from a OLTP database is normalized into an enterprise data warehouse.

A: Transactional data from an OLTP data is already normalized and so the Inmon DW will look very similar to that. However the Inmon DW (or at least the ODS part of it) will be modelled independently of the OLTP system and model the business concepts, with little or no concern about things needed for OLTP transactions.
It is probably easiest to use the Adventureworks OLTP database as your template for considering this.

Beverly Hills Says No to "Miss Beverly Hills"
by Brian Leubitz
A couple of days ago, I mentioned "Miss Beverly Hills," Lauren Ashley. Ms. Ashley is something of a Carrie Prejean wannabe. By talking trash about what she heard told about what the Bible says (but doesn't actually say), she gets some press time.
And that's really what this is all about. She saw that Carrie Prejean was able to parlay her ignorance into fifteen minutes of fame, so why not double down? And if you can say you are from Los Angeles, or better yet from Beverly Hills? Well, that should just make the press oogle over you more. And, to an extent, she was right.
Except, well, she's not from Beverly Hills; she lives in Pasadena. She just kind of took that moniker because it was available and sounds oh so fancy. However, there isn't actually a beauty pageant for Beverly Hills, and the participants in the pageant get to choose their own locations. And the city of Beverly Hills would rather she not be associated with their simple town.
In a statement Wednesday, the city said it was "shocked" by Ashley's description of herself as "Miss Beverly Hills." The city "does not sponsor a beauty pageant and has no association with Miss California USA," the statement said. "As such, there should be no individual claiming the title of Miss Beverly Hills."
*** *** ***
To Beverly Hills Mayor Nancy Krasne, those were fighting words. "We are dismayed by any potential association with the city of Beverly Hills, which has a long history of tolerance and respect," Krasne said. (LA Times)
It's easy to make a name for yourself these days, just say something outrageous and/or controversial. You can turn yourself from an obscure beauty pageant contestant into a right wing cause celebre in no time. But for this story, even the media sees right through the story. But, when it comes down to it, the world will move on to some other Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan wannabe in no time, and Ms. Ashley will be left carrying the bitter mark of intolerance that is left by her misguided Biblical interpretation.

Don't Lie, Don't Misinform
By Julia Rosen
The right is incredibly effective at spreading lies and distortions in an attempt to stop change and reform. That's why it is crucial that the truth gets out about Don't Ask, Don't Tell, especially when we have seen the enormous damage done to attempts at reforming health care, the banking industry and many more. The Courage Campaign proudly signed on to a letter and a great piece of research from Media Matters debunking a number of myths that the right is spreading in an attempt to stop the repeal of DADT.
The letter is below the fold, and was also signed by AMERICAblog's John Aravosis, GLAAD's Jarrett T. Barrios, Human Rights Campaign's Joe Solmonese, Knights Out's Becky Kanis, Media Matters' President Eric Burns, National Center for Lesbian Rights' Kate Kendall, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's Rea Carey, National Security Network's Heather Hurlburt, Servicemembers Legal Defense Network's Aubrey Sarvis, Servicemembers United's Alex Nicholson, Truman National Security Project's Rachel Kleinfeld, VoteVets' Jon Soltz, and last but not least our friend and yours, Lt. Dan Choi, US Army Infantry Officer and Arabic Linguist. It's not all that often that all of these folks sign on to the same letter and it is a testament to the excellent resource produced by Media Matters and importance of pushback on the lies.
Here are a few of the myths and links to sources that debunk the claims. I urge all of you to help spread around the accurate information whenever you see someone making an inaccurate statement about DADT.
MYTH: Don't Ask, Don't Tell is working
REALITY: Over 13,500 service members reportedly fired under law, including decorated officers and those in "critical occupations."
MYTH: Repeal would undermine morale and unit cohesion
REALITY: Unit cohesion argument "not supported by any scientific studies."
MYTH: Military experts oppose the repeal of DADT
REALITY: More than 100 retired generals and admirals have called for DADT's repeal.
MYTH: The public does not support repeal of DADT
REALITY: Numerous polls find broad support for gay men and lesbians serving openly in the military
MYTH: Right-wing attacks on DADT repeal are not anti-gay
REALITY: Prominent right-wing figures opposing repeal have a history of anti-gay rhetoric.
MYTH: DADT repeal would adversely affect retention
REALITY: Myth defies experiences of several other countries that have allowed gay men and lesbians to serve openly.
MYTH: Experience of other nations aren't relevant because "nobody counts on" their armies
REALITY: Several nations have fought in wars after allowing gay men and lesbians to serve openly.
MYTH: Only progressives support the repeal of DADT
REALITY: Polls show support for repeal of DADT among many Republicans, conservatives.
MYTH: DADT repeal would expose servicemembers to greater HIV risk
REALITY: Military regulations and procedures already exist to prevent the spread of HIV.

Same Ol'
Marriage equality is important, and for that reason it has sort of glommed up the spotlight for the so-called gay agenda. Yet, if it wasn't clear that there are other issues remaining, it should be abundantly clear after figure skater Johnny Weir's performance.
During coverage of the men's figure skating competition last week, Mailhot asked Goldberg if he thought that Weir, who came in sixth, lost points because of his costume — a low-cut, pink-and-black outfit with ruffles — and his body language.
Goldberg replied that Weir was setting a "bad example" for other male skaters. "They'll think all the boys who skate will end up like him," he said.
The pair also wisecracked that Weir should undergo gender testing and should compete in women's events. (Xtra)
Now, I can't say that I'm a figure skating expert, but from having seen a photo of the costume, it's hardly that shocking. It's black and has some pink accents. Outrageous! But, apparently that's enough for some announcers to throw out homophobic remarks.
The fact is that nobody, no figure skater, no hockey player, not even Ted Haggard, should be forced to conform to somebody's sensibilities for what it means to be masculine or feminine, straight or gay.
Unfortunately, from all corners of the globe, we saw insensitive and ridiculous comments just like this. While it is great that we are moving forward on marriage equality, we must also continue to move forward on breaking down stereotypes and the associated bigotry.

Ooh, Look, A Carrie Prejean Wannabe
As if one Carrie Prejean wasn't enough, now we have another wannabe:
Miss Beverly Hills 2010 Lauren Ashley is also speaking out in support of traditional nuptials.
"The Bible says that marriage is between a man and a woman. In Leviticus it says, 'If man lies with mankind as he would lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death and their blood shall be upon them.' The Bible is pretty black and white," Ashley told Pop Tarts.
"I feel like God himself created mankind and he loves everyone, and he has the best for everyone. If he says that having sex with someone of your same gender is going to bring death upon you, that's a pretty stern warning, and he knows more than we do about life." (Fox)
First, let's point out that Ms. Ashley is missing a lot of the context of the Leviticus section in question. Here's a snippet from Liberated Christians:
Leviticus does not say that a man to lie with man is wrong or a sin. Rather, it is a ritual violation, an uncleanness ; it is something dirty ritualistically, just as was eating shellfish, mixing fibers etc. Lev 18 is to distinguish the Jews from the pagans among whom they had been living, or would live. The prohibition of supposedly homosexual acts follows immediately upon a prohibition of idolatrous sexuality (the female temple prostitutes worshipping the pagan fertility gods) (often mistranslated fornication but a obvious mistranslation in the proper context).(Liberated Christians)
I highly recommend that Lauren takes a look at the Liberated Christians website on the subject, there's a lot of background information in there, including context regarding translations from Hebrew to Greek to English. it's actually quite interesting, no matter what your faith background is.
But the bottom line is that the Leviticus simply does not say that sex with someone of the same gender will "bring death upon you." That is nowhere in the section of Leviticus that she is referring to, and frankly, nowhere in the Bible at all.
This isn't about the Bible. This is about one woman's bigotry, and the garbage that she has apparently been fed. And sorry, the "I have gay friends" line which she uses later in the article just doesn't work. It never did, particularly when you don't even bother to get the facts straight from where you pull your bigotry.

Asking and Telling: Lieberman and the DADT repeal
Get ready for Don't Ask, Don't Tell to be all over the media starting tomorrow. The Senate Armed Services Committee, chaired by Senator Levin will bring the heads of all four branches of the military to testify about DADT on Tuesday and Thursday. It is some will be in favor of repeal more than others. One of the big questions is just how strongly Gen. James Conway, head of the Marines, will oppose changing the policy. He is known widely as not being in favor of change to DADT. The Republicans have been looking forward to getting him on the stand.
Meanwhile, it appears that Senator Leiberman will be the lead Senator introducing repeal legislation in the Senate. The Advocate:
In a statement released by his office, Lieberman said, "I will be proud to be a sponsor of the important effort to enable patriotic gay Americans to defend our national security and our founding values of freedom and opportunity. I have opposed the current policy of preventing gay Americans from openly serving in the military since its enactment in 1993. To exclude one group of Americans from serving in the armed forces is contrary to our fundamental principles as outlined in the Declaration of Independence and weakens our defenses by denying our military the service of a large group of Americans who can help our cause. I am grateful for the leadership of President Obama to repeal the policy and the support of Secretary Gates and Chief of Staff Admiral Mullen."
No specific details on the legislation have been released. The big question is the timeline and just how aggressive Lieberman will be in pushing to get legislation passed this year. There are secondary questions about just how this gets through Congress.
Nicholson said the stand-alone bill could also be incorporated into the Department of Defense authorization bill, also known as the National Defense Authorization Act, while the funding bill is still in the Senate Armed Services Committee. Repeal advocates generally agree that ideally a repeal measure would be included in the original draft of the NDAA — or the "chairman's mark" — before it comes out of committee, as opposed to either trying to add an amendment to the defense funding bill later or passing free-standing repeal legislation.
"It's of course possible for a stand-alone bill to be inserted into the chairman's mark of the NDAA, and we hope that will be the next step because I think that's safest option for getting 'don't ask, don't tell' repealed in 2010," Nicholson said.
Got all that? The stand-alone bill would be the legislation that Lieberman will introduce and work to whip his fellow Senators to become co-sponsors. The reality is that it's much easier to get repeal passed if it becomes part of a larger "must pass bill" like the defense authorization bill. That's how hate crimes legislation got passed last year. Generally speaking, the earlier it gets attached to the authorization bill, the easier that path is (ie. needs less votes).
So, if this bill has a date-certain for repeal and gets added as a "chairman's mark" in the Armed Services Committee, that Levin chairs that is the easiest path for passage.
Stay tuned this week as this story develops. There are a lot of unknowns right now. We should know a lot more by the end of the week than we do now.

About Good Comics For Kids
A collaborative blog covering good comics for kids by Brigid Alverson, Robin Brenner, Lori Henderson, Esther Keller, Michael May, J. Caleb Mozzocco, Mike Pawuk, Scott Robins, and Eva Volin.
We are a group of librarians, parents, and writers--and most of us wear at least two of those hats--who started writing about kids' comics in 2008 because, well, nobody else was. We like everything from Literary Graphic Novels to blatantly commercial (but fun!) licensed properties. And we don't lump all ages together; we're smart enough to know that a three-year-old has different abilities and interests than a 13-year-old.
Our goal is to cover kids' comics (for readers from birth to age 16) with both breadth and depth, through a mix of news, reviews, interviews, and previews, and to be both accessible to casual readers and interesting enough for serious fans.

When the Cullens, including her beloved Edward, leave Forks rather than risk revealing that they are vampires, it is almost too much for eighteen-year-old Bella to bear, but she finds solace in her friend Jacob until he is drawn into a "cult" and changes in terrible ways.
When seventeen-year-old Bella leaves Phoenix to live with her father in Forks, Washington, she meets an exquisitely handsome boy at school for whom she feels an overwhelming attraction and who she comes to realize is not wholly human.

Q: if statement around javascript/html data option I'm trying to append results in an object as options in a datalist dropdown, and it works but the problem is not all elements have a certain level in the object always which affects what results get appended to the list.
$("#returnedProducts").append($("<option/>",
                {
                    "srindex": i,
                    "data-details": JSON.stringify(result[i]._source.name.family),
                    //I want to say if result[i]._source.fabric exists, then do this next line else, just move to "value"
                    "data-fabric":JSON.stringify(result[i]._source.fabric[1]),
                    "value": result[i]._source.category,
                    "html": result[i]._source.category,
                }
        ));

How can I make this say "Only set data-fabric if result[i]._source.fabric exists,else don't set it and move to "value"?

A: Use a ternary operator:
{
    "srindex": i,
    "data-details": JSON.stringify(result[i]._source.name.family),
    "data-fabric": result[i]._source.fabric ? JSON.stringify(result[i]._source.fabric[1]) : undefined,
    "value": result[i]._source.category,
    "html": result[i]._source.category,
}

Let me know if this needs more clarification

A: You really can't do something like that inside an object initializer, but you can easily do it if you assemble your options object in a function:
$("#returnedProducts").append($("<option/>", function() {
        var object = {
                "srindex": i,
                "data-details": JSON.stringify(result[i]._source.name.family),
                "value": result[i]._source.category,
                "html": result[i]._source.category,
            };
         if (result[i]._source.fabric) {
            object["data-fabric"] = JSON.stringify(result[i]._source.fabric[1]);
         }
         return object;
    )() ); // note that the function is called here

Share All sharing options for: BYU Football Recruiting: 2012 Class Signs
Football recruiting at BYU usually comes with very few surprises. Almost all of BYU's commitments are garnered prior to the season that precedes the National Letter of Intent Day for that class -- in other words, most of BYU's 2012 class had committed before the 2011 season began.
The only commits so far to have pledged after the start of the 2011 season are DT Marques Johnson, a JC-Transfer from El Camino in California, and DE Theodore King.
Check out BYU's 2012 football recruiting class as it signs, updated instantly as BYU receives each LOI.

Hard on the heels of the successful testing of their Agni-III intermediate range ballistic missile, Indian scientists confirmed yesterday they were capable of building an inter-continental ballistic missile within the next two to three years. An ICBM with a nuclear warhead would have a strike range in of at least 5000km, bringing targets in Europe and beyond within New Delhi's sights.

Australia is being slowly yet inexorably being drawn into a novel 21st-century version of the "great game" in Afghanistan as our military prepares for its most sustained fighting since Vietnam. NATO still lacks a clear long-term plan to break the Taliban-led insurgents and enable a successful transition to an Afghan army and police service, alongside an eventual exit from the country.

S Korea to Withdraw Troops from Iraq, AP, 2007-04-14
South Korea, one of the largest US-led coalition partners in Iraq, is preparing a plan to pull its troops out of the country, a Defense Ministry official said. South Korea, a key US ally in Asia, began its troop presence in Iraq in 2003 with a 600-strong contingent. It sent 3,000 more troops the following year at Washington's request, making it the US's biggest coalition partner after Britain.
Tonga Extends Emergency Regulations, ABC, 2007-04-13
Tonga's government has again extended emergency regulations for another 30 days. The regulations, which restrict the number of people who can gather in groups, were imposed after last year's pro-democracy riots, which killed eight people and destroyed the capital, Nukualofa. In its newspaper, the Kele'a, the pro democracy movement says the government is stifling free speech and restricting the democratic right of free assembly.
Moving Towards Sustainable Security, Oxford Research Group, April 2007
It is not enough to simply insist that terrorism is the greatest threat to the world, when the evidence does not support this claim. In fact, our research paints a very different picture of the fundamental threats that we all face, with these threats coming from four interconnected trends: 1) Climate change; 2) Competition over resources; 3) Marginalisation of the majority world; and 4) Global militarisation.

In the tumultuous years following the Civil War, violence and lawlessness plagued the state of Texas, often overwhelming the ability of local law enforcement to maintain order. In response, Reconstruction-era governor Edmund J. Davis created a statewide police force that could be mobilized whenever and wherever local authorities were unable or unwilling to control lawlessness.

Can 'Philips' Really Impact 3bn People By 2020 Without Social Selling?
feedback system
We are now being called into more and more innovative global businesses to assist with 'Digital Transformation' project, and in particular helping them to understand how to better 'connect, engage, and listen' to consumers in the Social Media space, all without intrusive advertising and constant concerns around data privacy.
We are now the worlds leading voice on 'Social Selling', that's not a boast it's a fact.
So it was interesting to read about 'Philips' vision for Digital Transformation, and no surprise that a lot of what I read suggest that as an OEM the focus is still on things like Data, AI, VR and other such cool gadgets and tools that display the huge suite of products that are sprawled across the 'Philips' brand.
But, where is the consumer at the heart of all this, the people that can make or break a product and brand, or lift it to dizzying heights and become the advocates, I love the lofty ambition to 'impact 3bn people by 2020', I can see how the products can be used, I see the desire to innovate, I can even see how they will touch people's lives, but from what I read they don't seem to be a part of that transformation piece, WHY?.
Blake Cahill says;
"Today, we impact about 1.9 billion people a year, and as you are reading this, it's probably increasing," says Blake proudly. "Whether it's with solutions, services or products, we will make sure we impact three billion people by year 2020," he confidently says. This is the kind of working environment and culture that Philips actively fosters – where being impactful and making a real tangible difference is the number one priority for all teams.
We are constantly inspired and driven by this desire to make a difference - to be a part of Philips, it's a prerequisite to care.
The future of digital at Philips, says Blake, is about building a world where people can lead more productive and healthy lives. Innovation is how Philips is going to reach that goal.
I would add that front and centre of that strategy has to be the adoption and embedding of a 'Social Media' strategy for all product and industry sectors along with the people within 'Philips' charged with the delivery of these ambitious targets.
My message to 'Blake' is this;
You are clearly what we call a 'Change Maker' in Philips, however the world is no longer what your brand says it is, the real battlefield for the hearts and minds of the consumer is now being played out on social media platforms, whether that's the consumer you badly need to convince to choose your products over your competitor, or your next and current distribution partner.
And no amount of paid advertising is going to win out over the authenticity that your competitor is putting behind their 'Social Media' strategy.
At DLA Ignite we specialise in helping companies and the internal 'Change Makers' deliver on all these points, and I'm pretty sure we can help you as well.
We have a tried and tested methodology, we hold you and your colleagues hand throughout, ensuring we not only 'teach' you what to do, we also make sure its firmly embedded into your firms and employees DNA.
We don't do retainers, we are not an agency that creates and produces copy/content or sells ads for you.
We are active 'practitioners' of what we do, we already know and can evidence the ROI of a robust and internally aligned 'Social' strategy.
Part of that evidence it that you are reading this blog, just like many others - including your competitor!
We also don't do outbound pushy, salesy marketing, so if you would like to explore more, please contact the author of this blog.
We have a north star. By 2020, we want to positively impact the lives of three billion people a year.

Lincolnshire Police to get £7m extra funding to recruit officers and fight crime
Lincolnshire Police is to get an additional £7 million in funding next year to support the recruitment of extra officers on our streets.
By Andy Hubbert
Lincolnshire Police will get an extra £7m in funding next year.
As part of the Government's ongoing commitment to increase numbers in the ranks of forces around the country, the UK's polices will receive a funding boost of up to £1.1 billion next year to drive down crime and deliver safer streets for all, according to Home Secretary Priti Patel.
The Home secretary said today (Thursday) the 2022/23 funding package represents an inflation-busting seven per cent cash increase on last year and means policing will receive up to £16.9 billion in total in 2022/23.
More money will be delivered to support delivery of 20,000 extra police officers and of this £16.9 billion, £1.4 billion is earmarked for tackling national priorities – including murder, serious violence, neighbourhood crime, taking down county lines, child sexual abuse and exploitation, fraud and modern slavery.
The boost in resources will help support the delivery of the Beating Crime Plan. In particular, the Plan focuses on driving down homicide, serious violence and neighbourhood crime.
The additional funding will allow police forces to continue the work already being done to target criminals.
In Lincolnshire total funding for 2021/22 came to £138.8 million. That will rise by £7 million to £145.8 million in 2022/23.
So far the recruitment drive funding has seen an additional 129 officers join the county's ranks up to September 30, 2021.
The UK funding campaign has seen a 14 per cent fall in overall crime (excluding fraud and computer misuse) between June 2019 and June 2021, with 11,053 additional officers hired across England and Wales – 55 per cent of the target of 20,000 extra police officers by March 2023.
Over 1,500 county lines have been closed, over 7,400 arrests, £4.3m in drugs seized and more than 4,000 vulnerable people safeguarded, thanks to investment in shutting down county lines since 2021.
Almost 16,000 knives and other dangerous weapons have been removed from the UK's streets last year thanks to police use of stop and search powers.
And 300,000 at risk young people have been reached through Violence Reduction Units, set up across the country thanks to £105.5m in funding. This forms part of the £242m invested since 2019 to zone in on serious violence and homicide hotspots.
Within the total package, forces will also be given £550 million more from government grants, including funding for hiring the 20,000 extra officers promised by the Government by the end of March 2023.
the Home Secretary commented: "Crimes including theft, burglary and knife crime are down, we've got an additional 11,053 police officers on our streets, and we've shut down 1,500 drugs lines which exploit the young and the vulnerable.
"But we must go further and faster to make our communities even safer, so today I am giving our excellent police forces and law enforcement agencies more funding to do just that, in line with our Beating Crime Plan.
"Reducing crime is a top priority for this Government and I will continue working with police leaders to ensure this unprecedented investment results in less crime and fewer victims."
Police and Crime Minister Kit Malthouse said: "Police officers in the East Midlands are doing great work pursuing drug gangs, protecting vulnerable people from harm and tackling neighbourhood crimes such as theft. This cash injection means that can clamp down on the crimes that really matter to people with even more determination.
"Police forces in the East Midlands have already benefitted from extra officers being out on the streets after more than 11,000 have been hired to forces across England and Wales over the last two years, helping to drive crime down.
"This increase in funding will see even more officers hired to tackle crime, continue to remove weapons from our streets and support communities to feel safer."
Lincolnshire Chief Constable Chris Haward said: "It's good news that policing will receive a cash boost because it should provide some certainty for the future and means we should be able to continue to invest in priority areas in Lincolnshire to ensure the county is the safest place to live, work and visit. We are working through the exact details of what the announcement will mean for us here in Lincolnshire but remain cautiously optimistic.
"This should enable us to further focus on areas that really impact on our communities, including violence against women and girls, drugs gangs and issues, serious violent crime, and neighbourhood crime.
"Historically Lincolnshire hasn't been given a particularly fair deal when it comes to being allocated funding from the central government funding package but our officers and staff have continued to do an exceptional job in keeping our communities safe, even when faced with the unprecedented demand we've seen recently. I know that we'll continue to police to that high standard and I, along with the Police and Crime Commissioner and Chief Officer colleagues, will continue to petition government to ensure our allocation of the funding formula allows our officers and staff the means to provide policing to Lincolnshire that keeps people safe and protects them from harm."
Funding to Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) is increasing by up to an additional £796 million, assuming full take-up of precept flexibility. PCCs will have up to £10 of precept flexibility per Band D property in each of the next three years to use according to their local needs.
The settlement includes more money to enable the police to tackle Serious Organised Crime, support rape victims and protect our national security, with Counter Terrorism police funding increasing to over £1 billion for the first time.
From the total settlement, £1.4 billion will be spent to deliver on national priorities, including taking down more county lines, reducing violent crime, child sexual abuse and exploitation, fraud and modern slavery.
Next year will see:
* More officers to specifically tackle serious organised crime.
* The creation of a National Crime Laboratory to drive the use of innovative data science techniques to prevent and reduce crime.
* Increase testing of innovative ways for the police and CPS to investigate rape cases.
* Delivering on a commitment to ensure that no victim of rape and serious sexual assault is left without a mobile phone for more than 24 hours.
* Improvements in local police performance, including measuring responsiveness to 101 and 999 calls.
* Further investment in law enforcement intelligence and investigations to tackle economic crime.
* More investment in tackling fraud and improving the way in which intelligence on firearms is collected and managed.
* Investment in major law enforcement programmes, and other critical national police and law enforcement IT capabilities.
National Police Chiefs' Council Lead for Finance, Chief Constable Gavin Stephens, said: "We welcome the certainty provided to policing by the recent multi-year settlement, and investment in additional officers.
"The confirmation of funding announced today will allow forces to focus additional resources into tackling priority crime areas for the public, such as targeting those that perpetrate violence against women and girls, county lines drug gangs and serious violent crime."
Chief Constable Andy Marsh, the chief executive of the College of Policing, said: "More funding to support policing is welcome as the service continues to work relentlessly to prevent crime and protect the public.
"The additional police officers coming into the service will strengthen the existing workforce and allow forces to make decisions on how best to use this resource to keep the public safe.
"The demands and complexity of policing are changing and it is important that forces have the resource to continue tackling traditional crime types such as burglary, while also listening to the public and renewing our focus to better protect women and girls, improve diversity and build trust."
The publication of the provisional funding settlement opens a period of consultation. The final police funding settlement will be debated in Parliament ahead of the new financial year.


The glorious Peachy Belts range of Italian navy leather belts are handmade in England and made from vegetable tanned cowhide that is embossed with the ostrich print. Since the arrival of our navy range, it has jumped to become the second best selling range, amongst all of our belts, yet we find people still struggle to find these styles on the shelves!
Navy is a much-worn colour for both men and women, so we ensure we produce a range of widths, including; a thin 20mm skinny navy crocodile print belt with a fixed belt buckle in gold or silver, as well as the navy ostrich in the 30mm width that is perfect for smart trousers and looks good with gold and silver buckles and finally the 40mm width for standard jeans. Navy bags or shoes match perfectly with our navy range of belts, partnered up with a pale pair of jeans or a pair of white jeans. Our blue python belt is often worn by those who live in blues too, as well as working perfectly with plain colours.

Q: Python list class that indexes its object-elements' properties I am looking for the best way to create a list in python that creates hashed indexes (dicts) for all the properties of the objects put into the list.
>>> foo = IndexingList([{ 'id': 1, 'name': 'cat' }, { 'id': 2, 'name': 'dog' }])
>>> foo[0]
{'id': 1, 'name': 'cat'}

>>> foo.findall('id', 2)
[{'id': 2, 'name': 'dog'}]

>>> foo += {'id': 3, 'name': 'dog'}
>>> foo.findall('name', 'dog')
[{'id': 2, 'name': 'dog'}, {'id': 3, 'name': 'dog'}]

I imagine the data structure of the IndexingList would then look like this:
{
    'items': [
        { 'id': 1, 'name': 'cat' },
        { 'id': 2, 'name': 'dog' }
    ],
    'indexes': {
        'id': {
            1: [{ 'id': 1, 'name': 'cat' }],
            2: [{ 'id': 2, 'name': 'dog' }]
        },
        'name': {
            'cat': [{ 'id': 1, 'name': 'cat' }],
            'dog': [
                { 'id': 2, 'name': 'dog' },
                { 'id': 3, 'name': 'dog' }
            ]
        }
    }
}

where the objects within the 'indexes' nodes refer to the same objects in 'items'.
I think property values that are themselves objects could receive unique index-keys by using str(property) to obtain something to stick in 'indexes'.

A: This is actually pretty easy to do using some collections.defaultdict()s - although you might consider using an actual database if you are using this a lot.
from collections import defaultdict
from functools import partial

class IndexingList:
    def __init__(self, items):
        self.items = []
        self.indices = defaultdict(partial(defaultdict, list))
        self.extend(items)

    def append(self, item):
        try:
            for index, value in item.items():
                self.indices[index][value].append(item)
        except AttributeError as e:
            raise ValueError("All children of an IndexingList must be "
                             "dict-like. '{0}' is not.".format(item)) from e
        self.items.append(item)

    def extend(self, iterable):
        for item in iterable:
            self.append(item)

    def __iadd__(self, other):
        self.extend(other)
        return self

    def __getitem__(self, item):
        return self.items[item]

    def __setitem__(self, item, value):
        self.items[item] = value

    def __delitem__(self, item):
        del self.items[item]
        for index, value in item.items():
            self.indices[index][value].remove(item)

    def find_all(self, index, value):
        return self.indices[index][value]

    def __repr__(self):
        return repr(self.items)

Used like so:
>>> foo = IndexingList([{ 'id': 1, 'name': 'cat' }, { 'id': 2, 'name': 'dog' }])
>>> foo[0]
{'id': 1, 'name': 'cat'}
>>> foo.find_all("id", 2)
[{'id': 2, 'name': 'dog'}]
>>> foo += [{'id': 3, 'name': 'dog'}]
>>> foo.find_all('name', 'dog')
[{'id': 2, 'name': 'dog'}, {'id': 3, 'name': 'dog'}]

A: I must say that Lattyware provides a really nice solution. I'll still provide my own quick and dirty approach, as when when indexing on unique items it's a simple one liner. Instead of building a nice wrapper container I sometimes create an index on a certain column:
my_list = [('aap', 123), ('noot', 234), ('mies', 345), ('mies', 456)]

Provided the key in that column is unique and we don't add any new elements to the list nor modify the value we indexed on we may use:
def mk_unique_index(data, col):
  g = ((elem[col], elem) for elem in data)
  return dict(g)

So we can use it like:
>>> idx = mk_unique_index(my_list, 1)
>>> idx[123]
('aap', 123)

However, if we wish to index on the 0th column we must use a defaultdict
from collections import defaultdict
def mk_index(data, col):
  d = defaultdict(list)
  for elem in data:
    d[elem[col]].append(elem)
  return d

Usage:
>>> idx = mk_index(my_list, 0)
>>> idx['mies']
[('mies', 345), ('mies', 456)]

If instead of tuples you're using dictionaries or even named tuples (provided all elements have the field you're indexing on) you could just provide the field name for the column
Obviously one might also choose to use a temporary sqlite database in memory.

Stonewall 50 Minisode - Craig Rodwell
This was the moment Craig Rodwell had been waiting for. He'd been bumping up against the limits of how far the Mattachine Society was willing to challenge the status quo. And when the Stonewall uprising blew things wide open, Craig grabbed the reins and never looked back.
Stonewall 50 Minisode - Barbara Gittings and Kay Lahusen
Stonewall turned the page on the homophile movement. Pre-Stonewall activists like Barbara Gittings and Kay Lahusen were dinosaurs in the eyes of some of the gay liberationists, and they found themselves fighting for a place in the new chapter of LGBTQ history that unfolded after the riots.
Stonewall 50 Minisode - Morty Manford
Nineteen-year-old Columbia University student Morty Manford thought it was just another night at the Stonewall Inn, but then the police swept in and the raid was on. Morty shared his memories of that night with Eric Marcus in this archival interview from 1989.
Stonewall 50 Minisode - Marsha P. Johnson & Randy Wicker
A rebroadcast of Eric's 1989 interview with Marsha P. Johnson and Randy Wicker. Hear conflicting perspectives on Stonewall from this pair of unlikely roommates. Marsha co-founded the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries after Stonewall; Randy had led the way in the earlier homophile movement.
Stonewall 50 – Episode 4 – Live from Stonewall
What made Stonewall different? How can we carry the lessons of the uprising with us today? Eric is joined by one archivist and four activists to answer those questions in an intergenerational conversation recorded live at the Stonewall Inn on May 23, 2019.
Stonewall 50 - Episode 3 - "Say it Loud! Gay and Proud!"
Like so many other acts of queer resistance, the riots in Greenwich Village in late June and early July 1969 could have become a footnote in history. But the protests and organizing that followed the Stonewall Uprising turned the page. A new chapter had begun in the fight for LGBTQ civil rights. With exclusive archival audio from the year after Stonewall, we'll explore how queer anger found a voice with "Gay Power" and how joy propelled the first pride marches. Out of the closet and into the streets!
Stonewall 50 - Episode 2 - "Everything Clicked… And The Riot Was On"
At 1:20 a.m. on June 28, 1969, the New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn, an unlicensed gay club in New York's Greenwich Village. I wasn't there. Of these two facts I feel certain. The first one, because the police report from that night states the time that the police entered the Stonewall Inn. And the second, because I was ten years old at the time and didn't see Greenwich Village for the first time until I'd graduated from Hillcrest High School in Queens, New York, in June 1976. (I'm shocked now by what an incurious teenager I was back then.)But there's plenty about the raid on the Stonewall Inn and the subsequent uprising that's less certain and often the focus of disagreements and heated debate. I like to think that the story of Stonewall is big enough for all the recollections and memories and inevitable myths that have taken shape in the five decades since Stonewall became a key turning point in the history of the LGBTQ civil rights movement and the birthplace of the "gay liberation" phase of the fight for equality.So in this second episode of our special Stonewall 50 season, we're bringing you multiple voices—and multiple and often conflicting memories—from people who were inside and outside the Stonewall Inn a half-century ago. Voices drawn from my three-decade-old archive and from other archival audio unearthed by Making Gay History's team of archive rats—including some tape dating back to the first year after the raid. Have a listen and decide which memories ring true for you.
Stonewall 50 - Episode 1 - Prelude to a Riot
Conflict has context. In this first episode of Making Gay History's Stonewall 50 season, we hear stories from the pre-Stonewall struggle for LGBTQ rights. We travel back in time to hear voices from the turbulent 1960s and take you to the tinderbox that was Greenwich Village on the eve of an uprising. If you'd like a primer on Stonewall, here is a handy factsheet that Making Gay History co-produced. The final page has more resources if you'd like to dig a bit deeper.To find out more about some of the people featured in this episode and the times in which they lived, check out the following Making Gay History episodes and the accompanying episode notes: Frank Kameny, Barbara Gittings and Kay Lahusen (part 1 and part 2), Randy Wicker and Marsha P. Johnson, Ernestine Eckstein, and Sylvia Rivera (part 1 and part 2). Craig Rodwell will be featured more extensively in upcoming episodes, but he also makes an appearance in our episode about Dick Leitsch, with whom Craig Rodwell was in a relationship during their early days at Mattachine.Many of our previous episodes include interviews with LGBTQ trailblazers who became active in the movement pre-Stonewall. To learn more about the founders of some of the early U.S. homophile organizations, have a listen to our episodes with Harry Hay, founder of the Mattachine Society; Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, co-founders of the Daughters of Bilitis; and Dorr Legg, Martin Block, and Jim Kepner, who spearheaded ONE.
Stonewall 50 Trailer
Coming Soon: A special season of Making Gay History to mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. Hear the voices of the rioters, and of the activists who turned a riot into Gay Liberation—a new and expansive phase in the LGBTQ rights movement.
Season Four - Martha Shelley
Brooklyn-born Martha Shelley was a rebel. She didn't like being told what to do, wear, or say. She hated the lesbian bars, and after joining the Daughters of Bilitis she strained against the self-imposed limits of the homophile movement. Coming of age in the 1960s, she was ready for revolution.Learn more about Martha Shelley in this interview for the website "Stonewall: Riot, Rebellion, Activism, and Identity" (the audio file is embedded at the bottom of the transcript page). Martha's oral history is included in Eric Marcus's book Making History.In this episode, Martha mentions how the FBI monitored DOB's activities. To see samples of their investigative work, check out the declassified files collected on this webpage.Martha Shelley was one of the participants in the July 4th Annual Reminders, picket lines organized by homophile organizations from 1965 to 1969 at Philadelphia's Independence Hall. You can see footage of the 1968 Annual Reminder in "The Second Largest Minority," a short documentary by Lilli Vincenz, here.Martha Shelley has written fiction and poetry, and her short stories, essays, and poems have appeared in numerous anthologies, including Sisterhood Is Powerful: An Anthology of Writings from the Women's Liberation Movement, edited by Robin Morgan. You can hear Martha discuss her novel The Throne in the Heart of the Sea on Portland radio station KBOO here.

Hello Buddies! In this week's video I tried something a little out of my comfort zone and filmed a video not in the sims (or any other game) and showed you guys myself on camera briefly and my dorm room + my set up/where I work and film all of my videos. I hope you enjoyed this change of pace, I plan on making more of these "Irl" videos sometimes and I promise sims/gaming content will always be part of the channel. I hope you enjoy the video!
Hey Buddies! Today I did a video creating my sister in CAS. I hope you like it, and getting to know more about me. Enjoy!
My Experience in Paris and London.
At the beginning of the year, I was overseas in beautiful Europe, enjoying the culture, history, and fashion of what is France and the UK. Over my vacation I not only got to ring in the New Year looking at the Eiffel tower, but my birthday too. I am very thankful to have gotten the opportunity to go and here's some highlights from my trip.
I took this trip with my lovely mother and sister and boy was it a journey! Our flight was delayed and we ended missing our second flight and having to take two other planes to finally get there, however when we finally got there I was blown away with the culture and quaintness from everything to the cafe's to the cute boutiques. From the Eiffel Tower to Dior's fashion museum, it was breathtaking and beautiful. I also got a chance to visit Nodre Dame, Disneyland Paris, The Lourve, Arc de Triomphe, The Palace of Versailles and many more. Ringi ng in the new year in Paris was definitely a good way to kick off the year. Our trip out to the UK from there was a delight. I seen all of the famous sights and tourist attractions, that make me extremely excited to someday come back there and travel to new places. If you enjoy traveling I strongly recommend adding these two places on your bucket list, because sights like these aren't things you see everyday.
Hello Buddies! Today's CAS is a let's create a family cats and dogs edition. The story begins with Brooke (teen girl), Jim (father), and little westie coco. Brooke's mother left her and her father after years of traveling for business who eventually started a new family abroad leaving her father. Not long after the divorce Jim (father) breaks down and develops an substance abuse problem, which causes him to loose his job, and the house leaving him to turn to a life of crime. Brooke encourages him to get help, but will he ever be the man he once was? Meanwhile Brooke's best friend who was there for her through thick and thin (boy) and his role model mother, who owns the vet clinic takes her in, but will there be drama? How will Brooke deal? Is there Chemistry between them?

Sata refuses to 'commission' Mongu stadium
President Michael Sata this morning refused to symbolically perform the ground breaking ceremony at the site where the ultra modern stadium in Mongu is to be constructed.
Mr Sata boycotted to 'break the ground' because there was no mattock which he should have used to perform the symbolic activity.
He left the site where the stadium would be constructed, saying there was no way he could commission the construction exercise when things were not ready.
"You, there is nothing here. Why call me here when things are not ready," he asked before walking to his official vehicle and left for the airport to depart for Shangombo where he was to officially commission the newly built district hospital.
The President is also scheduled to carry out a ground breaking exercise for a sanitation project under Western Water and Sewerage Company in Nalolo district, a few kilometres from Mongu district.
The President spent less than half an hour at the construction site but managed to plant a tree at the same place together with a few ministers and a Barotse Royal Establishment (BRE) representative.
He did not even unveil the plaque with inscriptions about him launching the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of the stadium.
Mr Sata arrived at Mongu airport at 10:30 hours and went to the construction site, which he left slightly after 11:00 hours.
He was accompanied by Minister of Commerce, Emmanuel Chenda, Minister of Health Joseph Kasonde and Minister of Community Development, Mother and Child Health, Joseph Katema and senior government officials.
The President was welcomed at the airport by Western Province Minister, Obvious Mwaliteta, his Permanent Secretary, Emmanuel Mwamba, Gender Minister Inonge Wina, Acting Ngambela, Godfrey Siisi and other senior government officials.
At the construction site, President Sata was welcomed by Minister of Sport, Chishimba Kambwili, Transports, Works, Supply and Communications Minister, Christopher Yaluma and AVIC officials whose company has been contracted to construct the stadium.
It is not yet clear how soon the president would return to Mongu to commission the stadium construction project.

Verdi at 204, Toscanini at 150: the 2017 Festival Verdi
Jenna Simeonov Oct 5, 2017
This year's Festival Verdi is in full swing, paying its annual homage to Giuseppe Verdi in events large and small to various venues in Busseto and Parma - two Italian cities that make up "the Verdi homeland". Their mainstage events include productions of Verdi's Stiffelio, Jérusalem, Falstaff and La traviata, and their ongoing AroundVerdi and VerdiYoung offer events dedicated to young - and very young - audiences, complementing the performances of Verdi's infamous body of work. This year, the Festival is also making an extra nod to Arturo Toscanini in the 150th anniversary of his birth.
We spoke with Anna Maria Meo, General Director of the Festival, about the onstage and community line-up running through October 22nd. For full details, click here.
How have you chosen this year's line-up for the Festival Verdi?
With 4 new productions in 3 different venues, 2 orchestras, 2 choirs, more than 40 artists, young singers and established soloists, Festival Verdi 2017 has more music and performance to offer than ever before. And then there's the destination of Verdi's homeland to complete the experience.
With great enthusiasm we have dedicated this year's Festival to another great figure in the world of music; our famous fellow citizen who was born and trained in Parma and who, in his youth, was a cellist in our theatre: Arturo Toscanini. This year we celebrate 150 years since his birth and 60 years since his death.
What is Verdi Off?
Since Festival Verdi is a festival for everyone to discover and experience the music of Verdi, we have created many additional free events that include concerts, exhibitions, art installations, dj-sets, discussions, movies, and more. The diversity and creativity are endless. Always rooted in Verdi but a "jumping off" point for new approaches and new interpretations. There's even a dedicated Facebook page and a separate listing on our website.
A few examples of what Verdi Off has to offer this year:
Brilliant Waltz - A light installation designed by the artist C999 turns the Pilotta Courtyard into a great ballroom under the stars
Every day, at 1pm, a Verdi aria is sung from the windows of the Ridotto del Teatro Regio
Spontaneously, Verdi's music is performed in the streets and in the art sites of the region
Photographer Roberto Ricci becomes a public storyteller
Music and dancing to accompany the sunrise in the public park much loved of the city
Liturgical music performed by musicians and singers from Conservatory of Music "Arrigo Boito" of Parma
Marching bands in the different town districts
Concerts in private homes by students of Conservatorio di Musica "Arrigo Boito"
A treasure hunt on the theme of Verdi, for kids from 7 to 10 years old
In addition to Verdi Off, we continue with AroundVerdi and VerdiYoung. The former is dedicated to young people and to the blending of expressive genres and language to stimulate new reflections on the music of Verdi. The latter is designed for young children, with shows, projects and teaching laboratories, as well as fun musical activities, aimed at instilling and deepening their appreciation of the Maestro and his works.

What sort of connection exists between the Festival and the communities in Parma and Busseto?
The region that we call "the Verdi homeland" began celebrating the great composer in 1913, the centenary of his birth. That year, there was a double celebration: in Parma under the direction of Cleofonte Campanini, and in Busseto under the already legendary baton of Arturo Toscanini. In 1951, on the 50 th anniversary of Verdi's death, operas and concerts brought some of the greatest artists of their day to Parma. The Verdi Festival began in 1989 and offered a month-long celebration rich in operas, concerts.
The Festival Verdi was inaugurated in 2001, one hundred years after Verdi's death. Since then, extraordinarily talented artists have performed here, including Bruno Bartoletti, Riccardo Chailly, Daniele Gatti, Lorin Maazel, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Daniel Oren, Antonio Pappano and Yuri Temirkanov.
Each autumn, around Giuseppe Verdi's birthday on October 10th, his two hometowns of Parma and Busseto resonate with unique colours and fragrances that speak to our collective imagination, the Festival Verdi comes to life: a full month of music, opera, exhibitions and conferences to celebrate the great Maestro.

Are there any events on this year's Festival line-up that you're particularly excited about?
Absolutely everything! Opening Festival Verdi with the rarely performed Jerusalem was sensational and there's so much to experience between now and October 22nd. One distinctive aspect of Festival Verdi, which benefits music lovers, scholars and everyone in general, is the creation of the Verdi Scientific Committee. Lead by Professor Francesco Izzo, the current director of the music department at Southampton University, the Committee supports the programming choices from the vast repertoire of Verdi.
The first step is the adoption of critical editions for three of the four operas in this year's program, one of which is in the final phase of completion and will be performed for the first time. With a critical edition, we hear Verdi's music as he intended the music to be performed. No other opera music festival is dedicated to such a complete and authentic experience.

Refugees reluctant to leave as Greece clears Idomeni border camp
Published March 27th, 2016 - 12:30 GMT
A child plays with a survival blanket at the makeshift camp at the Greek-Macedonian border, near the Greek village of Idomeni on March 26, 2016, where thousands of refugees and migrants are stranded by the Balkan border. (AFP/Sakis Mitrolidis)
The Greek authorities on Friday evening began transporting refugees and migrants from the sprawling settlement in the border town of Idomeni to established camps elsewhere in the country.
An estimated 12,000 people have been living in tents in Idomeni – which is located next to the border with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) – hoping that the Macedonian government would reopen the crossing and let them in.
Qasem, a Syrian refugee from Deir Ezzor, was one of those keen to board one of the buses.
"It's cold here," he said. "I have seven children with me, what can I do with them? We want to go to a new camp. They are saying it's better there for children, that it's warm, there are bathrooms."
But many people do not want to leave Idomeni because they fear that the new camps may be no better – and that if they go, then their hopes of reaching wealthier countries in Western Europe may go with them.
Twenty buses arrived at the camp on Friday evening, but by late night only eight had been filled, by some 400 people.
The Greek government has said repeatedly that it will not use force clear the Idomeni camp.
Leaflets in Arabic, Farsi and Pashto telling the refugees and migrants that the border is closed and they should move to official shelters have been distributed throughout the camp by police.
Um Izz, an Iraqi refugee from Baghdad, said: "At first I thought (the other camp) would be better, but then when I thought about it I said to myself it might be the same as this, just tents, so it makes no difference, all we are going to do is change locations.
"But this location is better because it's closer to the border."
