Molière's Tartuffe, the first play offered in the Yale Summer Cabaret's Summer of Giants, is the very definition of a rollicking comedy. Molière is the kind of playwright who keeps the action and every character clearly defined without pandering—producing plays that are the basis for almost any kind of farce that came along after his heyday in the late 1600s. The dialogue is in rhymed couplets—in Richard Wilbur's deft translation—and that keeps the talk bouncing, and adds charm and wit in spades.
As directed by Dustin Wills, the play is a steady stream of comic moments, a sort of "choose your own" of favorite bits. For some, it may be Prema Cruz's opening dressing-down of the entire household due to their lack of respect for Tartuffe, a fraudulent holy man who has won her allegiance; or it may be Chris Bannow as deluded and domineering Orgon, hiding under a table to overhear the woo pitched at his wife Elmire (Michelle McGregor) by the hypocritical horndog Tartuffe (Mamoudou Athie)—McGregor's darting, silent-screen-actress eyes as she listens was a high point for me.
For others it will be the droll spat between the lovers earnest Valere (Mitchell Winter) and winsome Mariane (Celeste Arias) after Valere climbs none-too-adroitly through her window to confront her—their scene together is a great instance of the sport Molière likes to have with lovers.
For others, it may be Ashton Heyl as the ever-attendant ladies' maid Dorine, offering moral support and cutting remarks—and even a deafening vacuum-cleaner to drown out Orgon's demands that his daughter marry the insufferable Tartuffe; or may be Ato Blankson-Wood as Damis, son of Orgon and Elmire, who hides in a piano at one point and elsewhere doesn't brandish a blade so much as try to boat it; or perhaps Mickey Theis as Cleante, Elmire's brother, he of the widened waist coat, a penchant for preachy apothegms, and an addiction to vanilla wafers.
Then there's the title character: as Tartuffe, Athie is at times a deadpan foil, at others—when his doting host's back is turned—a churlish manipulator choking on his dastardly desires. The company is rounded out by Ceci Fernandez in several small roles, most notably the be-wigged fop who provides a hilariously inspired deus ex machina moment in praise of the ever-vigilant prince.
The physical comedy is broad and the characterizations broader, but it's not just in fun. If you think the theme of how fools can be made the dupes of pious frauds who say one thing and do another ever goes out of currency, think again.
Regulars to the Yale Cabaret space are in for a surprise: the Cab's usually amorphous configuration of tables and playing-space has been redesigned as a deep stage with wings, while the seating includes, in addition to the familiar high and low tables, a riser of seats in the back and a row of "splash seats" on each side of the action. It's a fitting set-up for a season of "giant" authors, giving plenty of theatrical space for each show. For Tartuffe, Kate Noll's scenic design has raided the set of the Rep's Marie Antoinette among others to give us some of the trappings of the era, filled out with backdrops of faces lifted from engravings of the time; Seth Bodie's colorful costumes play with period stylings while also flaunting modern touches.
Thoroughly entertaining and engagingly delivered, Tartuffe is a big production that kicks-off the summer season with panache and verve. The show closes June 15th.
Wills wants the hallmark of this year's Summer Cab to be "ambition and variety." The initial ambition of six shows was trimmed to five but, as Wills says, these are "real plays." Great authors providing great theater—"big plays in a tiny space." The shows will be offered successively, which means audiences have two weeks to see each play—at 8 p.m. shows only, no matinees or late shows—before it gives way to the next.
With a troupe of eight core actors, plus two guest actors, chosen from 32 auditions, Wills has the basis for what he sees as a "standing circus"—the communal life of ensemble acting, with actors "eating, breathing theater." Wills, a directing student entering his third year in the Drama School, will direct three of the shows, and Associate Artistic Director Chris Bannow, a third year acting student recently seen as Osric in the Rep's Hamlet, with Paul Giamatti, will direct two. The cast consists of Celeste Arias (*15), Mamoudou Athie (*14), Ato Blankson-Wood (*15), Prema Cruz (*14), Ceci Fernandez (*14), Ashton Heyl (*14), Gabe Levey (*14), Michelle McGregor (*14), Mickey Theis (*14), Mitchell Winter (*14).
Wills and company have selected the plays carefully for their "Summer of Giants." The plays represent a variety of eras, places, and countries of origin. Conceived as a "journey in time," the roster of plays reads like a syllabus for a mini-survey of theater. The program begins in 17th-century France, moves to 19th-century Sweden, then to Spanish folktales turned into a comedy first published in 1930, then to an American play from 1969, set in Tokyo, Japan, and finally to two British one acts from 1987 and 2006, respectively.
Opening with Tartuffe, one of the greatest plays by the French master Molière, lives up to the "Giants" title. Wills directs a play that he says offers "a collision of comedy and severity." Spoken in rhyming couplets but with modern touches—such as a vacuum cleaner—the Cab staging explores the excess of the period as setting for its theme of love vs. hypocrisy, and of youth vs. deluded elders—themes as relevant to our day of puffed-up charlatans in high places as to the highly mannered era of Louis XIV. With the full troupe. May 30 through June 15.
The second play of the summer is a pas de deux of power. Chris Bannow directs August Strindberg's Miss Julie, a psychological study of passions, a clash between the sexes set amidst class distinctions. Sweden, a bit ahead of the curve in developing some of the freedoms we now take for granted, is the setting for this confrontation with the abyss of identity that can open when the old order is questioned by turn-of-the-century youngsters at the height of the summer festival. Featuring Ceci Fernandez, Mitchell Winter, and Celeste Arias. June 20 through June 29.
Spanish poet and dramatist Federico Garcia Lorca is not best-known for comedies, but Wills sees the hilarious farce The Shoemaker's Prodigious Wife as an opportunity for the Summer Cab to lighten up a bit after the heaviness of Strindberg. It's also a chance to engage with puppetry and the "expressivity of theater," as a traveling puppeteer visits a town where the local shoemaker has abandoned his teen-aged, unsatisfied wife. Using song, poems, and folk tales, Lorca creates a timeless tale of the struggle of marriage and the vibrancy of small-town life. Wills directs Prema Cruz, Gabe Levey, Ato Blankson-Wood, Mickey Theis, Mamoudou Athie, Michelle McGregor, Ceci Fernandez, and Chris Bannow. July 11 through July 20.
Tennessee Williams is best-known for his explorations of Southern manners in his plays of the Forties and Fifties (such as A Streetcar Named Desire, which will kick-off the Yale Rep season in the fall). In his 1969 play In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel, Williams takes on the trends of modern art—notably expressionism, in the role of Mark, an expat in Japan who is trying to discover new inspiration for his painting. Meanwhile his bored wife is getting predatory with the Japanese barman. Wills sees the play, with its artist figure destroying himself, as autobiographical for Williams. And with its setting of Americans in Japan, the play works within the post-war relations of the formerly adversarial nations. Bannow directs Celeste Arias, Mickey Theis, Mamoudou Athie, and Mitchell Winter. July 25 through August 3.
Caryl Churchill is one of the undisputed masters of the last thirty years of theater and her two short plays, Heart's Desire and Drunk Enough to Say I Love You combine to showcase what Wills calls "the absolute breakdown of language." That includes the polite language of everyday speech, as a mother and father, in Heart's Desire, await the return of their daughter, only to find, as the play repeats and restarts, that anxieties can surface in different ways; and in Drunk, the dialogue of two men becomes a reflection on the tensions between England and the U.S. in a play that dates from the era of Tony Blair and "W." Wills directs Chris Bannow, Ceci Fernandez, Michelle McGregor, Mamoudou Athie, Prema Cruz, Mitchell Winter, Ato Blankson-Wood and Celeste Arias in Heart's Desire, and Ato Blankson-Wood and Mitchell Winter in Drunk. August 8 through August 18.
Such demanding and challenging plays might require some "down time," and so the Summer Cab will also host Friday Late Nights. With free admission from 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m., the Cab's bar will remain open and special late night events will be taking place—such as dance parties, karaoke, Tom Waits imitators, and a Boy Band sing-along. Which means the Cab, in addition to bringing us great plays by great authors with a young and adventuresome cast and artistic staff, will also be poised to be one of the best late-night hang-outs Fridays during the dog days.
See you at the Cab!

I visited Tokyo Disneyland on my third day in Japan. Every little girl's dream and disney lover is to go to disneyland and meet our favourite princesses and other disney characters. I just had mine fulfilled. Adults are filled their heart with childhood dreams and children are filled their heart with the imagination. Disneyland was to be expected amazing! There are lots of rides,parades,amazing restaurants and finally the charming Disney Characters.
Most popular rides had queue times exceeding one hour, even with fast pass use. It's a nice idea of having Fast Pass for those who managed to get it, because its just limited. It's a virtual queuing system that allows guests to avoid long lines at the attractions on which the system is installed, freeing them to enjoy other attractions during their wait. The service is available at no additional charge to all park guests. I got fast pass in few best attractions, so make sure to choose the best attraction first when you visit. Get all the best rides out of the way first. Depending on your taste when entering (assuming you get there when they first open) run to your favourite ride.
After riding on those best rides I grabbed for some food at Plaza Restaurant in Tomorrowland. They offers a variety of Asian dishes served in those cute mickey mouse plates. I couldn't find a seat because it's so crowded and there's one courteous local family offered a seat and I shared with them. I had nice conversations with them and the kiddo was so happy sharing about his teacher from Philippines when he knew that I am from Philippines. It was just a quick conversation as we need to enjoy the park. It is always so good to meet these kind of people, like also those service crew in all the souvenir shops, restaurants, push-cart stalls were all polite and friendly, even though some can't speak English. They tried to help by all means.
Lines get extremely long for everything. However, this does not dampen any spirit in there. Before the Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade starts I grabbed some turkey leg, I am quite full but it urges me to buy because the queue was crazy but its worth it. The legs are massive and should be shared with someone you love. Taste like smoked ham where it can get messy, so make sure to bring lots of napkins.
The parade started and it was awesome. You should pay attention to when the parades take place. When the parades started there were masses of people gathering around the street.
The final show at the end of the day was excellent. Even though I am not lucky enough to get excellent seats in front of the castle, it was a perfect end to a great day!
Lastly, make sure you get there early and make the most of your day as its awesome. The real issues are that everything is in Japanese. Some places accept credit and others don't, so take cash just in case. Too crowded with limited time. Queues were too long, and very late notice given of fireworks cancellation. Nevertheless, I certainly enjoyed my trip there and one day is surely not enough to try all the attractions.


How often do you look in the mirror and feel a sense of disgust? or see a picture of yourself and ask in horror if thats really what you look like?
Well I'm one of those people. It's a horrible, horrible trait and habit that I really want to be able to break apart from. And that's what I'm doing, starting today!
I'm done living behind this shadow of "what, ideally, is perfection" because I'm not perfect, and that's okay! That is so okay! Who cares what people think. I often find myself not being the real me. Now that's not necessarily because I'm trying to be someone else, but it's because I feel like I'm holding my true self back. Why do I do that? It's because I have such a hard time dealing with what people will think of me. I worry way too much about what people will think or what they will say. It shouldn't be that way! I am who I am and I only get one shot at doing so-so why not embrace it full force? Yeah I may not be the perfect body size, My eyebrows are definitely not on fleek, My hair is messy, I may not be societies idea of beautiful, I'm awkward, I'm shy, My laugh is horrible, and I do the most weird things without thinking about it. But why do I try to hold that back? Why would I keep myself from laughing so hard that I literally drop to the floor just because I don't want to people to hear the way that I laugh or see the way I react? Laughter is the most beautiful and most contagious thing in the world so why wouldn't I share mine. If someones going to like me, they're going to like me for me, not based on the way that I laugh, or the way that I look, or the way that I am. If they don't like that then there is no need for them in my life. I shouldn't have to feel like I have to keep trying to fit this idea of what people think of me. I often find myself simply holding back from posting a selfie because I think "will people think that's really vain? or they don't see me as the selfie kind?" But I want to post that selfie! No matter if others don't like it, I want to post it because I like it and because I felt good when I took that picture!
*Today my graphics 101 professor opened up our assignments in front of the class. This assignment consisted of us working with a selfie of ourself. I thought long and hard about this all last night and I really wanted to try this "new thing" out so I went with a positive attitude to school today. I had no idea that my professor would be showing the class our work. I was the first one that he showed and before he did I told myself that it was okay and that I don't have to worry about what others may think. Usually I'd be internally panicking because my picture was up on the board for everyone to see. But you know what, MY PICTURE WAS UP ON THE BOARD FOR EVERYONE TO SEE :D and they laughed, they thought that the morphed picture of me was hilarious and I thought so too :'D I thought it was funny and hearing others laugh made me laugh, they thought the picture was awesome. This just comes to show that no one really ever pays too much attention to the things that you think they pay attention to. Truth is they're more focused on something else. Like enjoying what's infront of them and you should be able to do that too. Take things light heartedly and stop worrying, just laugh it out. Life shouldn't be taken so seriously, learn to enjoy the little things and don't let them get to you. All worrying does is waste your time. So why worry when you can look at life in a positive note and add minutes to your life by laughing things out.
I'm really proud of myself for taking this step towards loving myself and for allowing myself to be vulnerable and share this with you guys in hope that it will help you to love yourself as well.
I hope you join me on this new journey of loving yourself completely. Because you are beautiful and you're not perfect; no one is. So don't be afraid to be you.
**You know, I've had the same profile picture for all my social medias now for about 2-3 years because I haven't been able to find one that I feel beautiful in and that picture was heavily edited with filters. But I'm ready to break free from that.
"Never change who you are so that other people will like you, just be yourself and the right people will love you just for being you"
Crystal !!! I think it's brilliant you're taking these steps towards self love I have so so much respect for you right now :) I couldn't be prouder and I'm really looking forward to watching you new video tomorrow when I'm doing my hair for college ( My allocated youtube time especially to catch up on yours and Rainbows amazing videos hehe ) I'm sure you're wonderful in and sometimes you need to feel that way to push you to have a fresh start and give yourself the love and respect you deserve ! I think I'll definitely give joining you a go and me and you can take on the world with our wonderful selves yeah ?

A: The problem is you are feeding training data to model optimizer.
As mentioned in https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/issues/3558, use the following function to remove leading and trailing white spaces from entity spans.
def trim_entity_spans(data: list) -> list:
    """Removes leading and trailing white spaces from entity spans.

    Args:
    data (list): The data to be cleaned in spaCy JSON format.

    Returns:
    list: The cleaned data.
    """
    invalid_span_tokens = re.compile(r'\s')

    cleaned_data = []
    for text, annotations in data:
        entities = annotations['entities']
        valid_entities = []
        for start, end, label in entities:
            valid_start = start
            valid_end = end
            # if there's preceding spaces, move the start position to nearest character
            while valid_start < len(text) and invalid_span_tokens.match(
                    text[valid_start]):
                valid_start += 1
            while valid_end > 1 and invalid_span_tokens.match(
                    text[valid_end - 1]):
                valid_end -= 1
            valid_entities.append([valid_start, valid_end, label])
        cleaned_data.append([text, {'entities': valid_entities}])
    return cleaned_data

Then use the following function for training:
def train_spacy():

    TRAIN_DATA = convert_dataturks_to_spacy("C:\\Users\\akjain\\Downloads\\Entity-Recognition-In-Resumes-SpaCy-master\\traindata.json")
    TRAIN_DATA = trim_entity_spans(TRAIN_DATA)
    nlp = spacy.blank('en')  # create blank Language class
    # create the built-in pipeline components and add them to the pipeline
    # nlp.create_pipe works for built-ins that are registered with spaCy
    if 'ner' not in nlp.pipe_names:
        ner = nlp.create_pipe('ner')
        nlp.add_pipe(ner, last=True)

    # add labels
    for _, annotations in TRAIN_DATA:
         for ent in annotations.get('entities'):
            ner.add_label(ent[2])

    # get names of other pipes to disable them during training
    other_pipes = [pipe for pipe in nlp.pipe_names if pipe != 'ner']
    with nlp.disable_pipes(*other_pipes):  # only train NER
        optimizer = nlp.begin_training()
        for itn in range(10):
            print("Statring iteration " + str(itn))
            random.shuffle(TRAIN_DATA)
            losses = {}
            for text, annotations in TRAIN_DATA:
                nlp.update(
                [text],  # batch of texts
                [annotations],  # batch of annotations
                drop=0.2,  # dropout - make it harder to memorise data
                sgd=optimizer,  # callable to update weights
                losses=losses)
            print(losses)

Our organisation wide commitment to safety is driven by SafeQuest: for a safer Mater community, through which Mater aims to achieve zero preventable harm for our staff, patients and visitors.
SafeQuest encompasses a number of initiatives and strategies to create the safest possible Mater community.
In 2015 we launched, Staying safe while in hospital, designed to empower Mater patients to be involved in their care, promoting a higher degree of collaboration and communication between staff and patients about safety.
As part of the initiative, patients are encouraged to ask questions about their care, and raise any issues or concerns, framed by a guiding set of principles, including identification, preventing infection, and medication safety.
Mater also reached 2017-2018 national standards set by the National Blood Authority earlier than required, and in the process recorded a 15 per cent reduction in the number of units of blood used across Mater.
Blood (and blood transfusion) safety is a key focus of SafeQuest, and data as a result of this initiative indicates increased efficiency in blood use, with a 12 per cent increase in patients receiving a single unit of blood as opposed to multiple donations, therefore reducing the risk of requiring a blood transfusion by optimising pre-surgery blood counts.
Mater's Exceptional Every Time strategy reinforces safety as our single most important priority, and through SafeQuest we will continue to ensure the provision of a safe environment for all who access our services.

This is the future electric big motorbike embodiment
One of the British electric motorcycle manufacturers named ARC Vehicle officially scheduled to immediately produce and launch its new product of its new facility in South Wales next year and it named the ARC Vector. The company said the the electric motorcycle already able to be ordered at a price of £90,000 (around $117,000 or Rp.1.6 billion).
The ARC Vector electric-powered sports motorcycle has managed to debut at the 2018 EICMA Milan event. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2mPDsre)
As reported by Carscoops, on its first production batch will made as much 399 units of motorcycle. It to be built to order in the first 18 months and give its prospective buyers more and more reasons to be excited about what the company calls the "most advanced electric motorcycle in the world."
As the most sophisticated electric motor in the world, this motorbike adopts Human Interface technology, carbon monocoque, hub-center steering, wheel inspired by characteristics and more.
The ARC Vector is said the future electric big motorbike embodiment. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2mPDsre)
On the other hand the presence of an electric motorbike also aims to bring a motor that is nimble and has a lot of power, but also also user-friendly and fun to drive both in the city and on the open road. This is where the hub-center steering system enters.
"The system that we have developed provides low speed control on the bicycle. There are a number of manufacturers who have implemented hub-center steering in the past, but they do it with an anti-dive system," said the ARC founder and CEO Mark Truman.
Hub-center steering system necessitates a front swingarm. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2mPDsre)
"For Vector, we have created a system that has all the benefits of HCS but feels like a series of prongs. The advantage is that rigidity allows for steep rake angles and chassis which allows rapid change of direction with stability at high speeds. What we have designed is the best of both worlds without negative things," he said further.
As for the drivetrain sector, the ARC Vector EV relies on a 399-volt electric motor which is claimed to be able to burst power up to 133 horse power and 109 lb-ft (148 Nm) of torque. And to be noted, this bike weighs 485 lbs (220 kg) which makes it a little heavier than most conventional sports motorcycles, though not much.
In addition, even though the weight is quite heavy, the fantastic priced electric motor can also accelerate from 0 up to 60 mph (96 kph) in 3 seconds and able to be ride to top speed of 125 mph (201 kph).
And when it rode in urban areas, the ARC Vector offers a range of 387 miles (623 km), while on the highway it can travel 230 miles (370 km). The average mileage is in the range of 270 miles (435 km). Yes, all of them were pretty impressive numbers aren't...
Kept spur your adrenaline on the power of two-wheeled monster and stay alive with the true safety riding. May God will forgive Your sins and so does the cops...... *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ARC VEHICLE | NEW ATLAS | CARSCOOPS | AUTO.NDTV]

SEPI Engineering and Construction
March 29, 2019 Uncategorized
Location: Raleigh • Year Founded: 2001 • Number of Employees: 325
Founded by Sepideh Saidi, SEPI Engineering and Construction is a multi-disciplinary engineering firm based in Raleigh with branch offices in Charlotte and Wilmington. The firm provides a range of engineering, planning, environmental, and construction management services to clients in the education, private sector, local, state, and federal markets.
SEPI's core values of integrity, quality, collaboration, passion, creativity and community are reflected in both their approach to working with clients and their approach to creating a work environment that places the needs of their employees front and center. The company offers a range of traditional benefits, but it may be the less traditional benefits that set SEPI apart.
SEPI offers a flexible work schedule between 7 am and 6 pm and allows employees the ability to create their own schedule to meet their family needs—whether that be a doctor's appointment or shifting school schedules or an early arrival to accommodate traffic. An employee commits to a defined and consistent schedule, allowing managers to plan, but has the flexibility to create a schedule that best accommodates life outside the office.
"You would not believe how much that one change has positively impacted the tone of our office. People are more relaxed. They have more fun, and they work harder.
"This policy is definitely one of our biggest competitive advantages," says Mariah Agsten, SEPI's human resources manager.
Additionally, employees benefit from a dress-to-your-day policy, allowing casual dress as long as it is fitting to the work environment. Instead of spending time and money on dry cleaning and new work clothes, employees can wear jeans—not just on Fridays, but every day not involving client meetings.
"You would not believe how much that one change has positively impacted the tone of our office," says Agsten. "People are more relaxed. They have more fun, and they work harder."
The firm creates and adapts their policies by listening to their employees. They have an annual employee survey, benchmark their benefits against competitors in the industry, solicit input from managers and employees, and actively seek to subsidize or increase benefits when and where they can. The company also encourages an open-door policy. "Anyone can come and talk to me or Sepi at any time. We want to hear what people have to say," says Agsten. "And Sepi listens. Everything starts at the top with her; the tone she sets makes us who we are."
Martha and Robbie Kirk with their son, Fox
For example, when Robbie Kirk, assistant vice president of the Roadway Department in the Charlotte office, and his wife, Martha, started a family, he approached Saidi to discuss the paternity leave policy. He asked if they would consider extending the policy from one to two weeks. With 83 percent of SEPI's employees being male, and 32 percent being between the ages of 25 and 40, the change had the potential to impact a large number of staff members.
"Sepi was behind the change 100 percent," says Agsten. "She wanted to know what other companies were doing, so we did our research and it seemed like two weeks was much more competitive than is offered elsewhere. The policy change helped Robbie, but it also helped us a company, and there have been a handful of people who have taken advantage of the policy since it was implemented."
"My wife, Martha, went into labor on a Thursday night," recounts Kirk. "I took a vacation day on Friday and then took two weeks of paternity leave, although I could have spread the time out if I had wanted to. Being with Martha and not having to rush back to work or use additional paid time off was a huge benefit. One week is barely enough time to develop a routine, but being there with my wife and our son, Fox, for that additional week helped us settle into a sustainable schedule."
"Sepi unequivocally understands that human capital is her number one asset," says Agsten. "It's hard to put happiness into a return on investment that is a dollar amount. I think happy employees are much more productive. I'm more apt to plug in when I go home if I have to and our team puts in the time when asked. Through our surveys we know our people are happy, and implementing policies and practices that make a big difference in their happiness has not been hard."
At the same time, the company is exploring better data capabilities to capture more information about how the investments in their employees translate into data. "We want to know how we can do even better," says Agsten.
The investment appears to be paying off. "I don't have any plans to leave SEPI and would be hesitant to go anywhere else that has lesser benefits," says Kirk. "It's a really good retention tool."
Sample Benefits at SEPI Engineering and Construction
A medical, dental, and vision plan, with prescription drug coverage and access to a telemedicine network; a Health Savings Account; Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account; short-term and long-term disability insurance; an employer assistance program that provides counseling; and basic life insurance and additional death and dismemberment insurance
Paid parental leave of four weeks, which begins two-weeks after a birth or adoption and is covered in part by short-term disability insurance and in part by the company
Paid paternity leave of two weeks.
Nine paid holidays per year; one floating holiday; and paid time off ranging from three weeks per year for new employees to five weeks per year for employees with five or more years of service
Tuition reimbursement for continuing education to support professional development
Opportunities for team-building, socializing, and for employees to get to know one another—including volunteering in the community

Thus, finding local millionaires will increase your chances of getting actual funds.
You should write a proper proposal which will attract people's sympathy and attention. Try to add some emotions in your proposal. But, the emotional aspect is not the only thing which should be added. You should also add practical things like the amount of money you need, why you need that money and how you will use that money.
The first thing which you should mention in your proposal is your project cause. If you are asking money for a community project, then explain that project in your proposal. You must explain to them how this project is going to help the community. Also, you must include all the important details like the duration of the project and the amount of money you need.
If your proposal is for some personal issue, then you should add your background details. You have to win the trust of the millionaire. Thus, make sure that your proposal is honest.
You should explain the value of the donor's contribution. If your proposal is about a community project, then you must explain the impact of that project in the community. You should also explain to them the importance of their donation.
If your proposal is about some personal issue, then you must explain to them why you need a donation. Also, you need to include some background data of your personal life.
Most millionaires will fund your idea or project without any conditions. But, if the amount of donation is very big then you may need to give something in return. They may ask for some shares in your company.
You must also include the donor's name in your project title. If you are getting funded for a personal issue, then you must ask donor about what you can do in return. Many people choose to work under their donors.
The last part of your proposal is mentioning the amount of money you need. Make sure that you are asking some practical amount of money. Your application will surely get rejected if you are asking them for a 1m$ without some big cause.
Also, make sure that you are as polite as you can be. If you are rude, then your application will surely get rejected. You must consider all the points which we have discussed in this article. If you need more money, then you can explain the donor about your situation. They may add more funds in their donation.
Once you have sent the email, all you can do is pray. You can also contact other millionaires for donation. There are many millionaires who want to share their wealth with the common man. Thus, you can try again and again. Don't stop until someone decides to donate to you. Try to contact the millionaires from your area first. It is easy to convince them because they are from the same locality.

Scenes From Halloween 2020 In Allentown And Hamilton
ALLENTOWN, (MONMOUTH)-HAMILTON (MERCER)–Halloween was celebrated a little different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Parades were canceled or a different type of event was held and candy was distributed sometimes using a long pipe or other creative ways to practice social distancing. Many wore masks while out trick-or-treating.
Since the usual Halloween Parade sponsored by Hope Fire Company could not be held normally, the firefighters had a smaller version and had DJ Nebbs playing music throughout town. The usual costume judging was held online this year and not in person to provide social distancing.

Trenton Cats Rescue Hold Halloween Adoption Event at The Healthy Animal of Robbinsville
Story and photo gallery 1 by Tyler Eckel
ROBBINSVILLE-HAMILTON, NJ (MERCER)–Trenton Cats Rescue (TCR) and The Healthy Animal of Robbinsville held a cat adoption event this Saturday, October 31. Volunteers of Trenton Cats Rescue showed up to the event in their Halloween costumes, encouraging others to tag along.
It all started when members of "Trenton Trappers" and volunteers from the Trenton Animal Shelter combined and formed Trenton Cats Rescue. TCR is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue group that serves the greater Trenton area, with a 30-35 mile radius from Trenton. With the help of Trenton Cats Rescue, the Trenton Animal Shelter is now a no-kill shelter, unless Euthanized for medical reasons. Currently, TCR has around 80 active foster homes, and just under 300 cats and kittens in the rescue.
Just this year alone, TCR has had an intake of just under 800 cats. Over 660 of those cats have since been adopted, beating last year's record of 611. Despite Trenton Animal Shelter being closed for over three months, 23 percent of TCR's adoptions came from the shelter. Because of the COVID shutdown, that record has yet to be broken from 2019's record of 51.5 percent.
Today, 17 cats and kittens were adopted at The Healthy Animal.
Trenton Cats Rescue also has a Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) program. TNR is a method for attempting to humanely and effectively manage feral cats. So far, Trenton Cats Rescue has TNRed over 400 cats this year. They also have a resident assist program. This program helps area residents who don't have the means to get their animals the medical attention they need. It consisted of neutering/spaying cats, dental work, shots and vaccines, and more. Their goal with this program is "to prevent cats that are happy in a home from being surrendered." In 2020, the residence assist program has provided to 93 animals.
Besides TCR making Trenton Animal Shelter a no-kill shelter, they also assist in vetting the animals. The animal shelter does not have a licensed veterinarian, which is needed for most medical procedures on animals. TCR will do snap tests, neuter/spay, vaccines, etc. They also microchip all of the cats.
Trenton Cats Rescue, in close conjunction with Trenton Animals Rock (TAR), are working on a proposal for the City to help transform their "tiny" animal shelter into something that the Capital could be extremely proud of.
TCR is selling masks at The Healthy Animal for $20. These masks are handmade, washable, reversible, and have elastic ear loops. All money goes directly to Trenton Cats Rescue. Photos of masks are provided below.
You could also donate to TCR on their website: http://www.trentoncats.org/donate/
Trenton Cats Rescue would also like to give a big thank you to The Healthy Animal of Robbinsville for all the help they have provided since they opened.

Last night, I went to The Cahd-fish Ball: A Mermaid Gala and Undersea Performance Spectacular. Since I only decided to go the day before, I didn't have much time to put together a mermaid, pirate, or sailor costume, so I just went with what was easiest for me: dressing like some combination of a woodland fairy and a cupcake.
I meant to wear my fairy wings, but I had only an hour to get ready between work and the show, and I couldn't manage to find them.
I am so, so, so in love with this dress. It's a size smaller than I usually wear, because my regular size (22) was sold out, but luckily it lives up to ASOS' reputation for running large.
Some days you just feel like a mermaid, you know?
I love how accessories can add a touch of glamour and whimsy to an otherwise plain outfit. It's something I need to do, to maintain my sense of self and sparkle when I'm dressed for practicality.
It's so interesting how different people experience getting dressed differently. The other day, I was talking about clothing with a friend, who mentioned that she loves jobs that require uniforms because when she's wearing one, she knows exactly what role she is supposed to play. For me, it's the opposite: I just don't feel comfortable if I'm not expressing my creativity through my clothes or accessories, even in small ways. It brightens my day and makes the world kinder to me.

Charged with DUI of Weed charge? Hire a DUI Lawyer!
Being charged with a DUI is a very serious thing. A DUI charge could cost you your license, your job, and thousands of dollars. If you've been charged with a DUI because you were high or suspected to be high on weed, contact a DUI lawyer today. Don't gamble away your life, but instead, contact a lawyer who will ensure your life moves forward rather than behind bars.
It's now become common knowledge that police officers have every right to demand some sort of sobriety test. Whether it be an oral fluid test, a breathalyzer, or the old fashioned field sobriety test (SFST).
For those unfamiliar with new additions to LEO abilities, the oral fluid test was authorized fairly recently. For more information please refer to Bill C-46. The way this sobriety testing works is fairly straightforward. Regardless of the method chosen, the first test is simply the gateway to a full test. The initial roadside test cannot be refused, however, it is also not typically permissible in court. If you were to fail your roadside sobriety test, chances are you would be arrested. However, the charges can only be filed following the failure of a secondary confirmatory test. This test will typically involve blood samples and/or urine samples and will be what is used in court.
What about the cannabis that stays in your system long after use?
Cannabis does indeed stay in your system for quite a while. However, the roadside sobriety tests are designed to test for intoxication. Not to mention their instruments are programmed with a minimum threshold that is well above what you'd still have in your body after a few days away from smoking cannabis.
How do they measure the amount of THC in your blood?
Despite the new legislation, currently there is no device certified under the Criminal Code of Canada as a reliable and accurate instrument for measuring the amount of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) in nanograms per 1 milliliter of blood. Although given the outline of the new legislation, there is every reason to believe that the government is actively looking to source one out.

IMPLICATIONS OF DIMENSIONAL COORDINATION # 1
During pre-medieval periods trade with distanced lands was managed by shippers and caravan masters. These agents conducted the business through the holistic (piece or item) value of the goods, rather then through its measures. This system of commerce changed, in medieval age when many European nations established their own trading posts in colonies across Asia, Africa and American continents. The colonists bought goods at the trading posts, transited and sold in their own country. This was mainly conducted in measure traditions of their mother lands.
Caravan outside Morocco
The European nations, each had distinctive measure systems. The measure systems of lengths, weights or volumes, each had incomparable units, and their subfractions were illogical. These problems were already realized, but now with increased colonial trade, as it caused vast problems. The current political leaderships (Royals) were not capable of solving it.
Sea Trade in Europe
With the onset of Industrial age, the trade, transit and conversion of raw materials, became closely interrelated. Natural raw materials passed through several processes, spread across many nations, to become vast variety of finished products. During the conversion the applicable measure systems also changed. For example, Cotton bought on volume basis, was converted into fabric -sold by lengths, and dresses -sold by numbers. Metal ore is mined in volumetric measure, transported by its weight measure, bought for its yield rate value, refined into ingots for weight measures, rolled into metal sections to be used for their strength aspect.
Colonial post at Salem India
● The transition to common measures systems developed at many fronts. Arabic numerals (actually of Indian origin) became common in Europe, and began to replace the Roman numbers, during the late Middle Ages (about 1500). This made decimal system possible (after Simon Stevin, a Flemish mathematician, in 1585, showed in his book 'De Thiende', how fractions could be expressed in decimals.) Vicar, Gabriel Mouton, St. Paul's Church, Lyons, France, proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. Bishop of Autun, also known as Talleyrand was the political sponsor of weights and measures reforms in the French Revolutionary National Assembly. 1790, in the midst of the French Revolution, the National Assembly of France requested the French Academy of Sciences to "deduce an invariable standard for all the measures. Larger and smaller multiples of each unit were to be created by multiplying or dividing the basic units by 10 and its powers. France made its use compulsory in 1840.
10X divisioned clock of French Metric system
Raw materials and Finished products' are misleading terms for goods. A finished product is a raw material for some other process. Raw materials procured in a linear, square, volumetric, weight or liquid measures get processed into a different 'measure' entity. For products transiting from one measure phase to another, a persistent dimensioning system is very advantageous. Consistency of dimensions allows use of standard tools, equipments, plants and technologies. The dimensional consistency, if properly recognized and supported, can rationalize the conversion processes, storage, handling, and waste management.
Ship Batavia –International trade
In the Post Industrial Revolution period, trade and industry all over the world recognized the need for a Universal Dimensioning Discipline. At that time better coordination was also required for conversion and transmission from old measurement systems to any new system of measurements. First worldwide understanding emerged in the adoption of SI as the Universal Measure System.
Kuantan Port Yard Container modulated units
Organisation internationale de normalization or International Organization for Standardization would have different acronyms in different languages. Its founders decided to give it a short, all-purpose name. They chose ISO derived from the Greek isos, meaning equal. ISO is a voluntary, democratic and non governmental organization for International Cooperation for Standardization. SI = Systeme Internationale stand for Universal Measure System and it is now accepted by nearly all countries of the world.
Universally agreed parts
SI Recognized Measures: The SI system recognizes three sets of measures in each of the major categories. There is a 1000-factored gradation.
The ISO Recognized Measures are:
Length: mm mt km
Weight: mg kg T
Volume ml Lt kl
All other measures such as centimetre cm or gram gm are not to be used.

Media Matters Founder David Brock Tied to "Ploy" of Media Sites Favoring Democrats
According to Axios, Democrat operatives are allegedly facilitating news sites to push campaigns in close states during the midterm elections. The article discusses 51 sites with names such as the Milwaukee Metro Times, the Mecklenburg Herald, and the Tri-City Record. These sites are reportedly being supported by the American Independent (TAI), which was "launched by Democratic operative and fundraiser David Brock — also known for founding the left-leaning media watchdog Media Matters for America."
Axios refers to the array of sites as the "Democrats' swing-state local news ploy." The sites present "ostensible local media outlets churning out Democrat-aligned news content."
David Brock has long been someone known as an extreme figure in politics and was closely associated with Hillary Clinton's campaigns. Brock, however, has always given figures like Clinton deniability in direct responsibility for his actions.
TAI and related groups appear to have been established to create the usual layers of obscurity.
Some of these sites are reportedly managed by Local Report, Inc., which appears linked to TAI.
American Independent bills itself as:
"the No. 1 digital platform for progressive news, reaching millions of people each month. We strive to report with honesty and integrity and shine a light on those in power who obstruct progress."
The president of TAI is Matt Fuehrmeyer who formerly worked as a senior aide with the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee and the late Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. TAI Vice President and Executive Editor is Jessica McCreight who reportedly is a former Obama communications staff member.
Despite promising to "shine light" on media coverage, Axios reported that TAI was less than forthcoming when confronted on these alleged faux media sites: "McCreight, TAI's executive editor, described its relationship with Local Report Inc. as a "co-publishing agreement" but would not say whether her organization has editorial control over the sites' content."
What is interesting is the report that Democrats have been using sites like CourierNewsroom.com to flood social media with "stories" supporting Democrats — at a time when Democrats were denouncing disinformation and calling for bans on these sties. That site is funded by Acronym, a Democrat-aligned nonprofit, which in turn is reportedly funded by "dark money" accounts.
For its part, Media Matters was again in the news this week in opposing the restoration of free speech protections on social media sites like Twitter. President Angelo Carusone denounced a possible Elon Musk takeover as potentially disastrous. He warned that Musk "wants to put in place and the way that he wants to use the platform, as a way to balance out those other social networks." Balancing other social networks? Perish the thought.
This is, however, the quote that most stood out:
"He likened the potential Musk acquisition of Twitter to when Fox News launched more than two decades ago, offering an alternative to balance what its founders viewed as a media landscape that catered to liberals. "That's what Fox became — and it had a profound distorting effect on the news media, on our society. And if you look at what Musk says about social media, we are in the same moment, just updated 30 years late."
(For full disclosure, I currently work as a legal analyst for Fox).
The fear that Twitter could become a new Fox is telling. Fox remains the most popular cable news network; it not only often doubles the viewership of its rivals, but more Democrats watch Fox than CNN.
The comment is the latest example of panic on the left over the potential loss of control over speech on social media. The reference to Fox highlights the obvious problem with using corporate censorship if there is any alternative to censored or biased sites. Previously, Democratic Reps. Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney of California wrote a letter to cable carriers like AT&T to ask why they are still allowing people to watch FOX News. It did not work. Whatever the desire to ban Fox, the cable carriers know that they cannot block the most popular news source on cable.
The fear is that Twitter could not just flourish in offering a site with free speech protections but undermine the extensive system of corporate censorship established over the last ten years. They have reason to be worried. Despite a bizarre campaign by Facebook to get people to embrace censorship, most users clearly want a type of common carrier on social media without corporate censors. If a major social media were to return to such free speech protections, it could indeed become the dominant social media company…and that would be a good thing.

Dennis McIntyre says:
Jonathan: It is no big surprise that in the waning days before the Fall elections you would turn to how "left-leaning" media groups and "Democrat operatives" are trying to influence how the media covers the midterms. You accuse a number of these groups of flooding social media with "stories supporting Democrats" using "dark money". Gee, I always thought "dark money" came from right-wing groups like the Koch Bros. Shows you how naive I was.. Anyway, you single out David Brock (founder of "Media Matters") for particular criticism. You say Brock is an "extreme figure". So far as I can tell you have never claimed Trump is an "extreme figure". I guess that term has to be reserved for left-leaning figures like Brock. So who is David Brock you think is such a threat?
National Review has called Brock a "right-wing assassin turned left-wing assassin". Politico says Brock is a "former right-wing journalist -turned-pro-Clinton crusader". When Brock changed stripes some on the left were suspicious. On the right Brock was considered a "traitor". In his 2004 book "The Republican Noise Machine" Brock laid out his case that there was an inter-connected, concerted effort to raise the profile of conservative opinions in the press through false claims of "liberal media bias" by Fox News and academics. Now I know why you don't like Brock. Claims of "liberal media bias" have been bread and butter for some time. The same year Brock founded "Media Matters" that is "dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing and correcting conservative misinformation in the US media". In 2011 Brock vowed to wage "guerilla warfare and sabotage" against Fox News. As a Fox employee that was a bridge too far for you!
So what is Brock doing now that you think violates some unwritten norm? He is working overtime this fall to get liberal Democrats elected to office. And he is doing that through his super-PAC–spending millions in a super charged advertising campaign that is pointing out the misinformation and disinformation in the media campaigns of right-wing Republicans. Brock is doing exactly what the GOP and right-wing groups (like the Koch Bros) have been doing for years–with the support of the right-wing media like Fox.. Brock has simply taken a page right out of the GOP playbook. He has turned that strategy on its head! So please explain how Mitch McConnell's super-PAC in support of right-wing GOP candidates is any different than what Brock is doing. Seems you are applying a double standard. It's sour grapes for you to now complain about what Brock and related groups are doing. I say, turn about is fair play!
Barnum says:
Right. It is a myth that mainstream media is biased against conservatives. The truth is outfits like the New York Times are much tougher on Biden than they were on Trump.

I'm sorry (?), but that is the most hilarious thing that I've read in some time
Beelzebub says:
Good one Barnum, I'm rolling on the floor laughing!!!
Ooh ooh the Koch Bros have the support of right wing media like Fox. You know who Democrats have the support of? Everyone else.
The rest of cable news and mainstream news. Hollywood. Trial lawyers. Unions. TV shows and personalities. Colleges and universities. Professors. Students. Antifa. Wall Street. Banks. Millionaires. Billionaires like Bill Gates, et al.
Sit down Dennis. Your panties are in a bunch. Get them sorted out. You will feel so much better.
Anonymous: Sorry to disappoint. I don't wear "panties". The last time I tried that my wife said: "Get your own underwear!". Personal insults, that your resort to often in your comments, don't work with me!
Now, you say: "You know who Democrats have the support of? Everyone else". If "everyone else" includes so many diverse groups what does that say about the appeal of your ideas? If Turley is right that Fox is the most "popular" cable TV channel what are you complaining about? You keep spewing out so much nonsense. Whatever underwear it is you have on it is too tight and is cutting off the blood to your brain!

Media Matters founder accuses gay ex-lover of blackmailing him for $850K after breakup
By Daily Mail Reporter
David Brock, the founder of the liberal media watchdog organization Media Matters, was blackmailed for $850,000 by his gay ex-lover who threatened to reveal information about the nonprofit group's finances to donors and the IRS, according to dueling lawsuits.
In order to pay the handsome sum, Brock sold a historic $1.5 million home he owned in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, the author claims.
The lovers' quarrel was dug up by Fox News, which as been at war with Brock and Media Matters for years over his criticism of the network's conservative voice. Media Matters is a liberal organization that rails against the influence of conservative media.
Fox News is its most frequent target.
I also did not know about David Brock being outed, his being adopted and how the death of his father in 1999 has consumed him for a constant need for approval by others, leading to his mercurial personality when others disapprove of him. IOW, David Brock has mental issues, likely personality disorders, who is ashamed. Makes perfect sense.
David Brock, Gone Fishin'
https://www.realclearreligion.org/articles/2011/07/18/david_brock_gone_fishin_106286.html
Brock's father died of cancer in 1999, and the scene describing that, which comes at the end of Blinded by the Right, is the best in the book. Brock is adopted, and there has been some speculation, at least on Fox News, that his mercurial and extreme politics have been a quest for paternal approval or a response to his shame at being adopted.
I think it's much more simple: Brock was a shy, highly intelligent kid who in high school was awkward and homosexual. He craved acceptance. A talented writer interested in politics, he was appalled by the antics of the crazy left at Berkeley, and as a result he was embraced by conservatives.
The thrill of the money and fame was like a drug. Brock pushed his stories to further and further extremes.
"The impact of my father's death was such that I took the probings of my prior political commitments and ethical failings to a deeper level," Brock writes. "I wondered whether the lessons I learned during my time in the right wing might be applied more broadly to the dangers of all political zealotry, whether on the right or the left."
Well, yes. For instance, you may not want to launch a multimillion dollar nonprofit whose sole objective is to censor a network whose political views you disagree with.
It's good advice. This has been going on since the early days of message boards, but it's a bonafide industry now, and modern Silicon Valley embraces it heartily. Chances are good that people who comment on every post all day long that castigate and demonize plenty but seemingly never make a counterpoint are likely paid to do so (who else has time?). This has infiltrated virtually every public online forum at this point, from movie or Amazon reviews to sites like this one. They are legion, and it is literally *their job*.
breecepeter says:
Vell zaid.
David Brock's seamless transition from right-wing creep to left-wing creep, a more crowded and therefore more competitive environment, has really paid off for him.
Progressives can not handle complexity, just tell them what they know is right and label the rest disinformation. Half the country is below average in intelligence.
David Brock and John Podesta and John Bolton and their ilk would make this nation so much better if they simply left forever.
quiet conservative says:
Professor Turley's observations identify the core of Democratic Party philosophy: the public cannot handle certain opinions, especially ones they don't agree with. Therefore, censorship is needed to protect the world from itself. This elitist mentality has been verified by former Clinton cabinet member Robert Reich, who wrote about the dangers of a Musk takeover of Twitter and the importance of "content moderation." I will never, ever trust an organization that believes a country needs to be guided by censorship for its own good.
Thinkitthrough says:
War is peace and censorship is freedom. Gueeze man don't you get it?
Shut down the economy. Shut down the churches. Shut down the schools. Shut down dissent.
Censoring, cancelling, suppressing.
There will be no criticism of the Biden administration.
The Biden administration is colluding with Big Tech, Social Media and the fake news to actively suppress anything it determines is misinformation or against the ruling regime. Social media companies are now acting as agents of the state.
The Biden adminstration is coordinating with corporations, 'news' media, entertainers, TV personalities to push out its preferred narrative (propaganda) to audiences, while actively censoring, smearing, suppressing information outside the prescribed government 'narrative.'
Which party is "in bed with" corporations now, Democrats?
From the most recent Judicial Watch document dump, Tom Fitton said: "These records show a disturbing and massive campaign by the Biden administration to propagandize and politicize the controversial COVID vaccine. It seems as if the entire entertainment industry was an agent for the government!"
Sharyl Attkisson reports: "Judicial Watch has obtained 249 pages of records from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) detailing the extensive $250 million dollar taxpayer funded government project to promote and push the Covid-19 vaccine through the use of celebrities, the late night "comedy" shows, sports stars, musicians and various social media outlets."
Fox News also took government money to promote covid vaccines 'narrative.'
Independent Bob says:
Somehow I don't think the folks at Fox are big fans of Dr. Fauci and his BS.
Anonymous who is wrong or deceptive about almost anything makes a claim. Can we believe his claim? Everyone has been getting Covid money, but anonymous is saying "Fox News … money to promote" Can anonymous prove that or will this non-credible being supply an anonymous source or a generalization? Maybe the government took out an advertisement but that is not a Fox News promotion.
The thing anonymous is trying to hide is the millions given to people including Fauci as presents and the millions in deals we don't know about. What a turkey anonymous is when he tries to deflect from important news.
I'll wait for anonymous to provide proof and if he can't, we can add this as another time anonymous makes a claim that is wrong.
Look it up yourself. The government paid news organizations, including Fox, to run ads promoting the covid vaccines. It was a massive, tax-dollar-paid propaganda fear campaign encouraging the public to take the entirely experimental 'vaccine,' while touting it as the single solution to their pandemic fears. A Government paid propaganda fear campaign. That's exactly what it was. And still is.
."Look it up yourself. The government paid news organizations, including Fox, to run ads promoting the covid vaccines."
You are repeating what my comment said and utilizing that as an argument supporting your claim: "Maybe the government took out an advertisement but that is not a Fox News promotion."
"A Government paid propaganda fear campaign."
Your short comment sounded like ATS. You have the same icon and name as ATS. If you aren't ATS and don't wish to be confused with him, get a different name and icon from him. Don't get upset that what appears to be rage against FOX places you in a category containing a lot of fools.
highlyeducatedsuburbanwoman says:
Democrats dumbed down our education with their DIE and SEL agendas, convincing people that voting with your emotions is better than voting with your brain (which is is why we got Biden). Dems also have spent decades colluding with the Press and have turned about 92% of it into a propaganda arm of the DNC. Today's Press has few if any investigative reporters – though the NY Post and Epoch Times are actually doing investigative reporting on a regular basis.

In Florida, a study running from DEC2020, till JUN2022, found an increase of 84% increase in cardiac-related deaths within the first 28 days of getting the shot.
The Florida surgeon general, Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, has recommended against men aged 18-39 getting the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
He also posted his recommendations on Twitter.

Well, now. Isn't that interesting.
Diogenes says:
"The president of TAI is Matt Fuehrmeyer who formerly worked as a senior aide with… the late Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid."
The late cyclops rises from the dead. Whenever I see Harry's name, I know dirty tricks are the subject.
Fox "had a profound distorting effect on the news media, on our society."
We demand a monolithic, Establishment viewpoint in academia, Hollywood, corporations, science, the media. (Anything more than mono just confuses the serfs.) How dare you distort our monolith.
I've received a few materials from these groups. A trained eye wouldn't take them seriously (how many of us have that in the era of internet memes?), but describing it as insidious wouldn't be at all out of the ballpark. What I have received has been on par in its propagandistic rambling and misrepresentation with the flyers you used to see on your windshield, and likely promptly discarded, decades ago talking about the 'Zionist Agenda'. Not a good look, DNC, and a whole lot of us are old enough to remember. Based solely on the materials' content, these people are the heirs of those that in the 19th century still believed Jewish people had horns and that black folks didn't bleed red.
Richard Lowe says:
Under the heading of defining 'misinformation,' I just read (don't believe everything you see in print of course – a lesson from at least the 1950's) that a 'Harvard-affiliated hospital has stated that in the womb, the unborn child knows if it is 'trans' —-
My first reaction was not to dismiss this claim, but to search the usual web sources for the research underlying this pretty shocking conclusion — it appears there is little to none.
Richard Lowe,
As I noted in another post, James brought up the Harvard unborn child knows if it is "trans" thing.
It sounded so fantastic (not in a good way) it HAD to be an Onion, or Bee satire post.
It is not.
Alma Carman says:
What I picked up from that very same article was the admission that this was, in fact, a sentient human child. And as such, if that child can know if its trans, it can also know if it wants to be born.
"It is so, because we said it is so. Now, shut up, peasant before we report to the FBI that you are an insurrectionist;"
honestlawyermostly says:
Lloyd Doggett, a democrat Congressman from Austin Texas has a website with a section entitled "Issues." The first sentence of the discussion under this section is, "[t]he peaceful protests across our country, which began after an officer sworn to uphold the law suffocated African American George Floyd…" Although Doggett was a millionaire when he went into office, after two decades of "serving" his constituents, his net worth today is estimated by a website that tracks those things at $29 million. Shrewd investments, no doubt. I mention Doggett only because Congress is full of those types. The blatant lie about "peaceful protests" to satisfy the snowflakes who reside in his district carries no penalty for deception, only the reward of re-election. Media Matters and even the mainstream media provide backup and cover for elected officials who need to lie to prevent people from actually hearing and acting on the truth.
Over the past nearly 60 years Austin has been represented in Congress by two Democrats – which tells you a lot about the district.
Chuckiechan says:
Well, in 2024 the FBI can continue with it's new modernized mission of crushing domestic dissent, but can now be re-aimed at democrat disinformation campaigns. These players can be targeted for bankruptcy by the FBI's new credo: "The process is the punishment".
Velkom to the new Amerika.

This is something that a petrolhead would never desire to see in his life and it's the worst nightmare for the owner of a truly expensive and rare vehicle such as the Lamborghini Miura SV in the following video. For unknown reasons, this Miura SV caught on fire in London and unfortunately nobody had an extinguisher in order to douse the flames. To make it worse, the traffic didn't helped the operations of the firefighters and it sadly means that not so much has been saved from what is considered to be the first supercar in the automotive history.
This is the saddest video I have ever seen.
Pro tip: Keep extinguisher in any car with old wiring.

Q: Boostap4 and @media queries not working together Prior to adding the Bootsrap4 CDN, this snippet of html stacks perfectly according to the media query, but as soon as the Bootstrap4 CDN is introduced, the stacking effect goes away.
What, exactly, is it about Bootstrap4 that cancels out this stacking effect and if there is a way to some how override this effect without actually removing the CDN, what would you suggest it be?

A: Try adding the other Bootstrap 4 Components:

If not maybe some kind of Conflict between your Bootstrap 4 CDN and Media Queries

A: That is because Bootstrap 4 is using flexbox (flex-basis and max-width) to style the layout while you are changing the width. So when you change the width, it has no effect because there's already a max-width applied to the element that has not been altered.
What you need to do instead of changing the width to 100% for mobile is to change the max-width to 100% AND the flex-basis property to 100%.
So this will work.
[class*="col-"] {
    max-width: 100%;
  flex-basis: 100%
}
