Angry Response to Betsy DeVos Political Cartoon Proves Its Point
By Tyler O'Neil 2017-02-15T11:00:42
On Tuesday, the Belleville News-Democrat published a political cartoon depicting Education Secretary Betsy DeVos in the same situation as a poor black girl in Norman Rockwell's 1960s painting "The Problem We All Live With." The cartoon's use of overstatement had its intended effect — causing a storm of controversy which illustrated the anger many still have at DeVos, despite the altercation with protesters who physically blocked her entrance into a school and which resulted in assault charges.
Ironically, while the cartoon arguably deserved ridicule on its merits, the angry overreaction from liberals helped to illustrate the point — that the Left irrationally demonizes and protests against DeVos in the same kind of heartless way southerners protested against a little black girl who represented the end of segregation.
Slate's chief political correspondent, Jamelle Bouie, posted the cartoon with a two-word commentary, "my god [sic]."

Kevin M. Kruse, a historian and author of One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Created Christian America, explained why the cartoon could quite reasonably be considered offensive. He recalled the name of the black girl in the Norman Rockwell painting — Ruby Bridges. She remains an activist today.

But others responded not with history, but in anger, calling DeVos "the oppressor."
No person living in reality would view DeVos as a member of a violently oppressed group. She is the Oppressor! The reality of her life...

Others attacked DeVos as "a well-connected billionaire who paid her way into the cabinet," an interesting statement considering that she never donated to Trump or his campaign. Indeed, during the primary she attacked him, saying Trump "does not represent the Republican Party."
Equating DeVos, a well-connected billionaire who paid her way into the Cabinet, with the heroic Ruby Bridges is ignorant and offensive. https://t.co/5Q2tGWb4Ob

Finally, one Twitter user said DeVos "should take a page from Ruby Bridges' book and actually walk into a school." This is painfully ironic, since the event which inspired the cartoon involved protesters preventing her from entering a school.

Gay Refugee from Afghanistan Charged with Assault for Blocking Betsy DeVos
As for the differences between DeVos and Bridges, Kruse (rightly) pointed out that "a billionaire-donor-turned-cabinet-member is *slightly* different from a 6yo black girl under Jim Crow."
Set aside the obvious fact that a billionaire-donor-turned-cabinet-member is *slightly* different from a 6yo black girl under Jim Crow. /3
But then he argued that the opposition to DeVos "was" not "remotely like" the "opposition to desegregation in New Orleans." (Yes, because the opposition to DeVos is clearly over, right?! Oh, yeah. I forgot. It's still going on.) Then Kruse actually described the political opposition to segregation in New Orleans in a way that echoed the opposition to DeVos.
"To prevent the most token desegregation of their public schools, thousands of white segregationists rioted in the streets of New Orleans," Kruse narrated. "As Rockwell's painting shows, the mobs threw tomatoes and rotten eggs at six-year-old Ruby Bridges, seen here in the US Marshal's car." He added that "crowds of furious white mothers who called themselves the 'cheerleaders'" kept up the pressure, "using violence, vandalism & economic boycotts against anyone, black or white, opposing them." Kruse concluded, calling the protests "a yearlong campaign of racial terrorism that paralyzed an entire city and became a cautionary tale for the rest of the nation."
Rockwell couldn't bring himself to paint the mob itself though. Crowds of furious white mothers who called themselves the "cheerleaders." /7 pic.twitter.com/wvA9uDNH9N
He then neatly dismissed the protests against DeVos, categorizing the recent altercation as the Education secretary "being briefly inconvenienced by a handful of peaceful protesters."
So, no, there's no real comparison to be made here to Betsy DeVos being briefly inconvenienced by a handful of peaceful protesters. No. /12x
But anyone who has seen the footage knows that even this "inconveniencing" act (which happened last Friday as the Education secretary attempted to enter a middle school in Washington, D.C.) involved more than just "a handful of peaceful protesters." A longer video shows that there was indeed a mob — exceedingly self-righteous, just like the "cheerleaders" — yelling, "Stop DeVos and fund black futures," as though DeVos represented a threat to the education of African Americans.
Finally, at one point a man — later identified as Bilal Ahmed Askaryar, who was charged with assault for the incident — ran in front of a van with a "Black Lives Matter" sign, physically blocking DeVos even from leaving the premises.
'Shame! Shame!' Protesters Block Ed Sec Betsy DeVos from Entering School
The protests against DeVos have not involved the throwing of rotten eggs and tomatoes — not yet — but the "Black Lives Matter" connection is indeed very interesting. First, for context: Black leaders have praised DeVos for caring about the kids in their community. "She's not African American, but she's concerned about our children," Dr. Dwight Montgomery, president of the Memphis chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Council (SCLC, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s organization), said of DeVos.
But then again, this is a Trump appointee, so how can she not be racist? Indeed, liberals have demonized DeVos as a racist, an elitist, a foe of public education, a religious extremist, and even — in a harebrained attack — a supporter of child labor. Much of this opposition can be explained by DeVos' championing of school choice, which terrifies teachers' unions. It is true that DeVos has no direct experience teaching children or managing school districts, but she has been deeply involved in the movement to expand educational options in her home state of Michigan and across the country.
So, let's see if conservatives might be able to apply Kruse's description of the New Orleans race riots to DeVos opposition.
"To prevent the most token [school choice in the public school system]," liberals branded DeVos the devil incarnate. As the videos show, a mob yelling "Shame! Shame! Shame!" physically prevented her from doing her job, after she had been demonized in this fashion. "Crowds of furious [liberals] who called themselves ['the resistance']" kept up the pressure. Violence and vandalism have not yet been applied to DeVos specifically, but the riots in Ferguson, Baltimore, and Milwaukee connected with Black Lives Matter, and the violence which followed Trump rallies (engineered by Democratic operatives) does not portend well for this budding "resistance."
The angry attacks against DeVos, which both caused and followed the D.C. altercation, seem unlikely to abate. Indeed, the Left has declared that the "resistance" is barely getting started. If this rabid demonization of the head of the Department of Education continues, she may well end up hated nearly as much as the poor 8-year-old Ruby Bridges was (if she isn't already). The comparison might not be right — not just yet.
Will the fight against DeVos (or against Trump in general) degenerate into "a yearlong campaign of racial [or ideological] terrorism" which paralyzes Washington, D.C., becoming a "cautionary tale for the rest of the nation"? Heed the lesson of 2016: anything is possible.

The World Health Organization estimates more than 70 million couples worldwide are unable to conceive each year, with close to a third of those cases attributable solely to issues with male fertility—including low sperm count and low sperm motility (a limited ability to swim).
Now, with recently published data showing encouraging results, researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) have received a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to refine a new device that races sperm through a microscopic obstacle course to select those most likely to successfully fertilize an egg.
n vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most widely used assisted reproductive technology and can help overcome problems with male fertility. Its potential for success is significantly enhanced when sperm can be sorted so only the healthiest calls and the best swimmers are used. Unfortunately, current clinical techniques for sorting sperm are inefficient or are likely to damage sperm DNA.
To solve this sorting problem, a new approach has been developed that uses advanced mathematical models and high-powered computer simulations to analyze and predict how sperm swim under varying conditions. The approach is the product of a novel research collaboration between Erkan Tüzel, PhD, assistant professor of physics at WPI, and Utkan Demirci, PhD, assistant professor of medicine and health sciences and technology at Divisions of Biomedical Engineering and Infectious Diseases, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School.
Demirci's lab is developing microfluidics (small devices sometimes referred to as "lab on a chip") to test new ways to sort sperm. Tüzel and his team use the physics of fluid dynamics and customized algorithms to model how sperm cells move through narrow channels. Funded by a new three-year, $293,000 grant from the NSF, Tüzel will use simulations to optimize the design of the sperm-sorting chip. As the simulations and computer modeling progress, Demirci's lab will build and test new microfluidic chips based on Tüzel's refinements.
There are now two standard techniques used to separate out the most motile sperm. One is called the swim-up technique, in which sperm swim from a droplet of liquid into a denser layer of media; the cells reaching the denser layer most quickly are recovered and used for IVF. In the other technique, known as density gradient separation, a sperm sample is placed in a tube filled with layers of liquid of different densities. When the tube is spun in a centrifuge, the strongest swimming sperm are able to cross into the denser liquids.
Neither of these methods is particularly effective at dealing with low sperm counts or low sperm motility; in addition, the density gradient technique is known to cause damage to sperm DNA. Also, both techniques use chemical agents that may damage cells. So Tüzel and Demirci have taken a different approach.
The microfluidic device they are collaborating on uses no chemicals or centrifugation. It relies only on the cells' own ability to move through channels. Within the female reproductive tract, sperm swim through a variable fluidic environment with watery micro-channels that help guide them to the egg. In the new device, sperm are placed at one end of a narrow channel and allowed to swim toward the other end. After a set period of time (called the incubation period), the sperm that have made it to the finish line are removed from the channel's end. The idea is to mimic what happens naturally.
In May, Tüzel and Demirci reported results of initial studies in the paper "Exhaustion of Racing Sperm in Nature Mimicking Microfluidic Channels During Sorting" published in the journal Small. This work combined mathematical modeling and the actual results of human and mouse sperm cells tested in a prototype of the microfluidic chip. The team found that the microfluidic channels yielded sperm with significantly higher motility and produced samples with a greater concentration of highly motile sperm than either the swim-up or density gradient techniques. This study showed the potential for developing a new technique for sorting sperm that could effectively, reliably, and safely separate out the most active swimmers. The coarse-grained model Tüzel's group built accurately recapitulated experimental results, and made predictions on the exhaustion time.

Many have taken notice of the New York Times' lack of moral consistency in its coverage of the countrywide protests in Iran against the theocratic regime that rules there. From declaring that the president of Iran is a "moderate" to underselling the freedom-seeking ambitions of the average Iranian citizen, much of the Times coverage lately has devolved into unjust equivocations between the theocratic regime and the average Iranian citizen who wishes not to be ruled by Islamic theocrats.
Over the years, the Times has developed a reputation as one of the friendliest U.S.-based publications to the Iranian regime. It is one of the few Western outlets that's been able to embed a reporter in Tehran without incident (the Washington Post's Jason Rezaian was imprisoned in Iran for 545 days). Today, the Times offers nonstop editorials depicting the regime as an honest broker, and the Manhattan publication was one of the most fervent supporters of the Iran nuclear deal.
The recent protests in Iran have raised many red flags and questions as to whether the Times is reporting the news objectively. As videos continue to surface on social media, showing masses of people calling for an end to the regime (and even "death to the Islamic Republic"), the New York Times has downplayed the protests as merely economic disputes. Moreover, the paper's Tehran-based reporter was conveniently "on vacation" as the most consequential, anti-regime protests in years spread through Iran like wildfire.
It turns out that The New York Times has a special financial relationship with the Iranian regime, likely unknown to many of its readers. As one of the few U.S.-based Iran tour providers, The Grey Lady delivers unprecedented access to the theocratic nation for a price.
Based on publicly available data on the New York Times travel website, Conservative Review has analyzed that the organization's "Iran: Tales from Persia" trip, which is hosted by New York Times journalists and opinion writers, is a cash cow that has reaped millions of dollars in revenue for the publication.
The Times' travel website lists nine publicly available trips to Iran in 2018, with an average group size of 20 people. The Iran tour costs $7,895 per person (based on double occupancy. Single travelers pay an additional $1,500), plus $425 for internal airfare. The price does not include international airfare.
Based on the organization's own data, the New York Times' bare minimum gross revenue for for the 2018 "Tales from Persia" tours should start at about $1.5 million. This amount does not include the added cost for single travelers, or the unknown revenue made from private tours that are going to be conducted this coming year. Currently, the travel website lists seven available months for private trips in 2018.
The New York Times has something of a monopoly on access to the country. Americans can't travel alone inside Iran, which makes the Times' tour one of the few accessible routes into Iran. While most tour groups include government minders who travel alongside tourists, tour provider Elaine Sciolino claims the Times' trip does not include such hurdles.
Now, if Iran were to become a free country again and openly accessible to Westerners, there would be no need to drop an enormous amount of cash on an exclusive New York Times tour. U.S. airlines would surely jump at the opportunity to offer nonstop service from major U.S. hubs to Tehran. A free Iran would essentially shut off the Times' huge revenue stream.
In addition to its financial conflict of interest, "The Gray Lady" Iran trip is hosted by reporters and editorial writers with an enormous pro-Tehran bias.
Reese Erlich, who will host the May and November departures, is a militantly pro-Tehran "journalist." He has claimed that the U.S. has launched a "covert war" against Iran, adding that the Bush administration and Republicans in general are "liars" when it comes to Iran policy. Additionally, the foreword for one of his books is written by Noam Chomsky, who is infamous for his anti-Semitic propaganda.
Carol Giacomo, the New York Times editorial board member who specializes in foreign policy, will be in attendance for the December departure. A fervent proponent of the nuclear deal with the terrorist regime, she has in the past accused Republicans of being more loyal to Israel than to America. During the debate over the nuclear deal, Giacomo consistently trotted out talking points claiming that a failure to secure a nuclear deal would result in all-out war.
Additionally, the other four Iran experts who will join tourists on the Iran journey have expressed support for the Iran deal. In a webinar promoting the trip, Sciolino expressed her support for the deal.
It's bad enough that the New York Times maintains an ideological platform for preserving the evil regime in Tehran. It's worse that the "paper of record" has a multi-million dollar interest in ensuring the status quo of a nation ruled by Islamic theocrats.
Americans who travel to Iran on their own do so at an incredibly high risk, given that the regime there is militantly anti-U.S. Americans who travel to Iran run the risk of being detained for an indefinite amount of time, without legal recourse. The U.S. State Department strongly advises against traveling to Iran.

Dr Malcolm S Adiseshiah was born on 18th April, 1910 in Vellore, where he had his early education at Voorhees School and College. He then moved to Loyola College in Chennai from where he took a B.A.(Hons) degree in Economics. After teaching at St. Pauls College, Calcutta for a brief period, he went over to England for his M.A at Kings College, Cambridge and then to London School of Economics (1937-40) for pursuing his doctoral research with specialization in Economics. After attaining his doctorate, he returned to India in 1940 and joined as Professor of Economics at the Madras Christian College. He left the college in 1945 and worked with the World University Service in Geneva. In 1948, he joined UNESCO and retired as Deputy Director in 1970. His 22-year stint with UNESCO was the highpoint of an illustrious career in which he planned and executed many projects of great cultural and social importance throughout the world.
On his retirement from UNESCO in 1970, he returned to India and settled in Tamil Nadu and determined to devote the rest of his life in the service of his country, especially in the spheres of economic development and education. In 1971, Dr. Malcolm S Adiseshiah and his wife Elizabeth founded the Madras Institute of Development Studies (MIDS) and later it was reconstituted in 1977 as National Institute jointly sponsored by the Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi and the Government of Tamil Nadu.
He served the Tamil Nadu Planning Commission for many years. As its Vice-Chairman during 1971-76, he was instrumental in the preparation of Perspective Plans for Tamil Nadu, including one on education. He was also a member of the Steering Committee to the Union Planning Commission during this period. From then on, he was associated with the planning process in various capacities both in Tamil Nadu and at the Centre.
In 1975, Dr. Adiseshiah became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Madras. In his tenure (1975-78) he started new departments such as econometrics, education, adult education, area studies, molecular biology, polymer sciences and defense studies. Recognising his outstanding contributions, the Government of India conferred on him the Padma Bhusan in 1976. Adiseshiah was also nominated to the Rajya Sabha in 1978 for a six year term. He had been decorated by some 40 countries and has had honorary doctorates conferred on him by 15 Indian and Foreign Universities.
Dr. Adiseshiah was also associated with a number of professional bodies both in India and abroad. He was the Chairman of the Centre for Development Studies, Trivandrum, Council for Social Development, New Delhi; Institute of Social Science, New Delhi; Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai; International Association of Social Science Institutions, New Delhi; Bharat Gyan Gigyan Samithi, New Delhi; International Literacy Jury, Paris; International Institute of Educational Planning, Paris.
Dr. Adiseshiah was also the President of International Council of Adult Education; Indian Adult Education Association; Tamil Nadu Board of Continuing Education and State Resource Centre. He also served as President of the Tamil Nadu Council for Science and Technology from 1984 till his death.
Dr. Adiseshiah was instrumental for the setting up of Asian Social Science Research Council in New Delhi and became its first President. He was the founder of Tamil Nadu Board of Continuing Education in 1976 and was its President for four terms. In 1988, he became the Advisor to National Literacy Mission, Government of India.
Despite his associations and contributions to many institutions, MIDS was his favourite child. He built MIDS almost single-handedly and created a vibrant, rigorous and liberal atmosphere for advanced research in the economy, society and polity. He gave the entire part of his later life to MIDS and ultimately bequeathed his estate to its growth and well-being. He was the Chairman of the Madras Institute of Development Studies from its inception till his death in 1994.
MIDS now stands as a fitting memorial to Dr Malcolm S Adiseshiah. Madras Institute of Development Studies is celebrating the Centenary of Professor Malcolm S. Adiseshiah during April 2009 - April 2010. Throughout this Centenary year, MIDS plans for several events and publications to celebrate the memory of Professor Malcolm Adiseshiah.

Attended and competed (well sort of) in an open water swim event over the weekend. Had a wonderful day out, the weather was glorious, had the honour of swimming in our national lake with its beautiful golden amber water that, with the reflection of light, gave you the feeling of swimming in liquid gold. Overall a well organised event sponsored by a national coffee brand, an institution more than a brand.
An institution that didn't maximise on the sponsorship opportunity. The execution of this sponsorship investment was a little lazy and uninspired.
The swim hats are not really suitable for open water swimmers as we need higher visibility hats – I appreciate the importance of brand colours yet any logo would have looked fine and consistent on a yellow or orange hat. If it were luminous, it would be more likely to be used repeatedly with free branding.
The contents of the goodie bag. Generally companies use goodies bags as a way of giving out samples of new products to encourage product trial and adoption. Filling the bag with a box of 80 standard tea bags was uninspired. I'm sure the company have plenty of new blends/flavours of both tea bags, leaves and coffee beans that could have been used to give 300 people an indication of the range of their products. I also presume they have a range of snacks/biscuits that could have been included.
The t-shirt. Generally at these events, we receive a branded quick dry/polyester t-shirt that will be worn when running (many participants will be triathletes). The old fashioned cotton t-shirts are not suitable for us and will probably never be worn only when painting or doing DIY. Again another lost opportunity for it to be used repeatedly with free branding.
Possible flask or reusable cup? All open water swimmers take a flask or a thermo cup when training as we need warm drinks afterwards. Perhaps including one of these in the goodie bag would have been a good idea, again getting much more brand association than just the day of the event.
However, the biggest surprise was that the only coffee available was instant. Giving visitors a taste of real coffee blends might convert some drinkers away from competing brands. An instant coffee hasn't passed my lips since 1992, after a year studying abroad, it's Americanos only for me. So I didn't get to taste the sponsor's brand but if I had and had liked it, I might well have switched particularly given the drive towards buying Irish.
Alas, I'm still a Lavazza loyal, your loss.
Lastly, I was also surprised on the lost pre-event, during and post event activity on social media. Not a mention or tweet on the social networks before, during of after the event. With almost 3,000 followers on the organiser's Facebook, there would have been lots of opportunities to run competitions etc. A few tweets leading up to and on the day with pictures of the hordes of people wearing hats, bags and drinking take-outs would have also been good for the brand.


Exxon has submitted a revised LNG development plan to the Mozambique government, while Anadarko has secured 9.5 mtpa of LNG offtake Exxon has submitted a revised LNG development plan to the Mozambique government, while Anadarko has secured 9.5 mtpa of LNG offtake.
ExxonMobil is throwing its full might behind the Rovuma Basin LNG project in Mozambique, flying hundreds of workers into Maputo to condense three years of project planning into 18 months. It submitted a revised plan of development (POD) for the project to the Mozambique government last week, which clarifies several details that were missing in the initial POD it submitted last July. Exxon now plans to take FID within seven months.

Дмитрий Петрович Пелип (; 1900, Голе-Равское — 7 ноября 1944, Ястребичи) — деятель украинского национализма, служивший в немецком батальоне «Нахтигаль» и командовавший куренем УПА «Галайда».

Биография
Родился в 1900 году в Голе-Равском (ныне Жолковский район Львовской области). В молодости вступил в ОУН, будучи военнослужащим польской армии, за что в 1936 году был осуждён на 4 года тюрьмы. В 1941 году вступил в батальон «Нахтигаль», дослужившись до звания десятника или унтершарфюрера.

В 1942 году ушёл из легиона и организовал боевой отряд ОУН, в феврале 1944 года возглавил роту в составе сотни Тараса Онишкевича, известного как «Галайда», а после гибели Онишкевича стал командиром сотни. В мае 1944 года Пелип, известный как «Эм», назначен командиром куреня. Позднее возглавил тактический отдел Сокальско-Равского округа.

Весной 1944 года со своим куренем перебрался в село Каров, где вступал в бои против немцев, советских и польских партизан. С июня по октябрь вёл бои на Радеховщине, Сокальщине, Грубешевщине и Холмщине. С 19 по 22 августа 1944 курень Пелипа близ села Пирятина вступил в бои с войсками НКВД и советскими пограничниками: несмотря на подготовленную оборону, курень был разгромлен после сильной артподготовки (к 22 августа было ликвидировано почти 500 повстанцев).

4 ноября 1944 Дмитрий Пелип был ранен в стычке близ села Ястребичи и умер спустя три дня от последствий ранения.

Q: Windows Azure version backward Today, I checked my windows azure website (built with a web service) And the version was not the same as yesterday. It's very strange, it seems that ther version went backward.
So I took my project in VS and reuploaded it. Then it was good
I am quite scared, is it a normal behaviour, I think not. But how to stop this behaviour. If I remember well it's not the first time it happens to my project.
Thanks a lot for your help.

A: Internally if there is any problem within Azure, It is the nature of Azure to Remove the troublesome VMs and Deploy a new VM with the "cspkg" File that we upload during application deployment either through Azure portal or through Visual studio directly.
 In case You make any changes through RDP to the deployed application, there is no guarantee that the application will retain the Changes.
Further more if you face this again, it is better to contact Microsoft Support, They should help you out.

A: Here is the explanation of the Microsoft Support :
Any changes made with Web Deploy are temporary. It can only be used for development and testing and not intended for updating applications in production. When the role instance is restarted, the changes will be gone. We would suggest that you upgrade the deployment by uploading package files from the management portal or disabling WebDeploy while deploying.
