Psychological Perspectives on Intimate Partner Violence
Laura Miller-Graff
LAST REVIEWED: 04 December 2019
Intimate partner violence (IPV) refers to acts or threats of physical, sexual, or psychological violence against a current or former partner. Although many of the psychological and physical ramifications of victimization are shared across contexts, it is critical to recognize that the cultural, social, and legal meanings and implications of victimization—and the access that survivors have to protection and support in the aftermath of violence—vary dramatically across contexts. Because of this, understanding the evolving history of IPV is necessarily context-specific, yet it is also important to recognize that there have been dramatic changes in policy in many nations since 2000 that have been motivated by growing awareness and advocacy. Examining contemporary research on IPV across contexts, a few summative points are evident. First, although the rates of bidirectional and male victimization vary across studies, women are generally victimized and injured at greater rates than are men—dramatically so in some contexts. Recent research has also suggested that individuals identifying as sexual and gender minorities may also be at greater risk for IPV. The negative effects of IPV on mental health, physical health, and development are profound and long lasting. These negative effects are not only evident in those directly victimized by of IPV, but also "trickle down" intergenerationally, and there is strong evidence documenting serious and enduring effects of IPV on the health and well-being of children. As discussed in more detail in the following sections, a substantial minority of IPV-exposed individuals have more than one violent partner in their lifetime, and these relationships often persist for years. Despite the wealth of research on the negative effects of IPV, intervention research is still in its nascence. There is relatively poor support for existing batterer intervention programs, especially those that are court-mandated and oriented toward identifying and changing stereotyped beliefs about gender relations. There is much stronger support for post-abuse care for survivors, with many available interventions demonstrating success in addressing depression and PTSD. There is also small, but growing, support for the effectiveness of programs with at-risk groups, such as IPV-exposed pregnant women. Innovative new directions for intervention include promising community-based and mobile health approaches that may improve the dissemination and scope of available services for survivors. For child witnesses, several intervention programs are available, but it is not yet clear from existing research which are the most advantageous or what the primary agents of change within these programs are. This bibliographic review of the literature is designed to highlight contemporary research in the field of partner violence and discuss some of its key controversies. It should be noted, however, that although it is rapidly changing, a great proportion of the available research has taken place in Western countries.
Although discussed in more detail throughout specific sections of this bibliography, several seminal works and reviews highlight some of the core issues in the field of IPV research. Global data on partner violence is analyzed and presented in a World Health Organization report, Garciá-Moreno, et al. 2005. Assessing intimate partner violence, however, is not without controversy, and a helpful articulation of contemporary debates and criticisms is well summarized in Hamby 2009. Jewkes 2002, alternatively, is a review of studies evaluating risk factors for IPV, focusing on many of the core theoretical assumptions that undergird the field, including the role of social inequalities, power dynamics, and gender. There are also several large-scale empirical studies on the effects of IPV on women's health and functioning; although readers should refer to the section on Mental Health for journal articles on individual studies, a review of the physical effects of IPV is nicely summarized in Campbell 2002. A meta-analysis of the effects of IPV on psychological adjustment of child witnesses can be found in Vu, et al. 2016. Finally, there are several available reviews that provide overarching data on available interventions for perpetrators (Eckhardt, et al. 2013), survivors (Barner and Carney 2011), and child witnesses (Graham-Bermann and Levendosky 2011).

Confusion surrounded local football ahead of last night�s BTC Premiership match between Mochudi Centre Chiefs and Gilport Lions following the dispute over the latter�s status.
By Boitumelo Khutsafalo Wed 23 Nov 2016, 15:49 pm (GMT +2)
: The future of Gilport Lions is uncertain
Mmegi Online :: Confusion over Gilport�s future
The club has been embroiled in dispute over how its status was acquired from the Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) by the previous owners, Ghodrati family.
The team at the time was registered as BMC football club at both the Botswana Football Association (BFA) and the Botswana Premier League (BPL).
The committee, which was running the club at the time, has been in talks with the directors of Gilport Lions over the issue which threatened to reach the courts.
Gilport Lions directors, who acquired the team from the Ghodrati family, acceded to the BMC FC committee's demands for the return of the club. On Monday, Gilport Lions director, Kelesitse Gilika told one of the local radio stations that they are in the process of handing over the team.
On the same day, the BFA instructed the BMC committee to take responsibility of the team's fixtures starting with yesterday's match against Chiefs.
However former chairperson of BMC, Sonny Phiri who has been leading the talks to return the club to the society said they are surprised by the BFA demands.
He said the BFA cannot ask them to take responsibility for the team's fixtures when a lot still has to be done.
"We were waiting to meet the BFA national executive committee (NEC) over the issue because there is a lot to be done before
we can be asked to take responsibility. First of all there has to be a change of name. We are currently also not registered with CAF, FIFA or even BFA itself. There are issues of club licensing which have to be taken care of as well as being inducted by the BPL. As we speak, BMC has no registered players for this season," Phiri said yesterday.
At the time of going to press, Phiri said they were writing a response to the association to explain their position on the association's demands.
He said as far as they are concerned, they are still in talks with Gilport Lions' management on the process of returning the team.
He said until the BFA declares that Gilport Lions has been officially reinstated as BMC in the Premier League and other processes followed properly, they cannot be asked to be in charge of the team's games.
"As we speak, BMC does not appear in the BFA set up. We are waiting to meet with NEC so that a smooth transition can take place," he said.
By yesterday, the BFA legal team was said to be working on the matter.
Gilport Lions on the other hand were not in a position to comment on the matter saying it is still being handled by the mother body.

It is hard to think that 9 months have passed.
Champlain College in Burlington Vermont has become a premium school in the gaming field. With this comes large numbers of students that need experience and opportunities. We would like to be able to provide that. We would like to help provide a path for a sustainable career in the state of Vermont.
We set out to be as virtual as possible, and are grateful we have that ability, but we recognize the benefits of a team with an in person presence. We now have a physical space at the Vermont Center of Emerging Technologies (VCET). Our goal is to provide several paid internship positions over the next 6-12 months and a physical space we feel is required to provide the right experience. As an added benefit this space provides us with a home base that can be used for play tests, events, game jams, etc.
We are located at the VCET UVM campus which is located in Farrel Hall.
Players clocked in about 16 hours of play time between the 2 workstations that we had setup.
The most popular age range we saw was between 8-12 years old.
We are excited to have partnered with Yak Studios to provide the games sound track.
We think we have the scope defined and are exploring the best way to bring the game to players.There is most likely about 6 months of work left but we want to engage the community as early as feasible.
If you are a student studying game design, art, or programming please reach out to us if what we are doing looks interesting to you. We would love to talk.

Virginia Veterans and Defense Affairs Secretary: Withdrawing From SPSA Could Hurt Navy
by lhtek | Oct 28, 2015 | Latest News, Uncategorized
States, regional compacts, and communities all have a potential impact on military installations. – Tom Whaylen

Virginia Veterans and Defense Affairs Secretary John Harvey Jr. raised red flags last week when he sent eight localities letters saying Norfolk Naval Shipyard could be harmed if they withdraw from a trash agreement.
"Making it more costly for NNSY to do business to the potential detriment of the Navy, and the shipyard's 9,000 employees who live throughout the Hampton Roads region, is the wrong message to send at this time," Harvey wrote.
The Southeastern Public Service Authority agreement expires in January 2018. Eight localities — Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Franklin, Southampton County and Isle of Wight County — have to decide whether they will continue to participate. And if they do, they also have to figure out which of three companies to work with.
Wheelabrator Technologies now processes the trash at a plant in Portsmouth, and the city benefits from $3 million in taxes and water fees. Wheelabrator has applied to continue processing the trash after January 2018 along with two new players. RePower South hopes to build a trash-to-energy facility in Chesapeake near the High-Rise Bridge. Republic Services has a landfill in Brunswick County.
Wheelabrator also, by burning trash, provides 45,000 to 90,000 pounds of steam power each hour of the day for 94 buildings and docks at the Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth and its critical repair operations, said Jeff Primavera, Wheelabrator's vice president of the mid-Atlantic region, in an August email. Its contract with the Navy runs through 2023.
Portsmouth council members are the only ones thus far to say publicly that they are seriously considering withdrawing from SPSA.
Councilman Danny Meeks said at an August work session that if Portsmouth continued with SPSA and any of the three applicants, "they need to fire all of us."
Mayor Kenny Wright added, "I can share with you, I have chatted, and have ate, and I have made sure we have eaten the dinner and they have paid for it before I have told them not only a 'no' but a 'hell no.' "
Wright did not return calls Monday. Meeks said Monday that Portsmouth is one of the smaller localities and that it needs to do what is best for its taxpayers.
"We already have the people in place to manage our garbage," he said. "Why should we pay an outside entity to manage it? Not only Portsmouth but every city in this region should look at what it is costing."
In 2007, SPSA was $300 million in debt. In 2010, Wheelabrator purchased a waste-to-energy plant from SPSA for $150 million, which helped pay that down. As of 2014, the authority's debt stood at $30 million and was scheduled to be paid off by 2018. Fees have risen to $125 per ton for most municipalities.
Meeks called the letter by Harvey "a dirty political move."
"Everybody respects his opinion, but he doesn't know the financial situation Portsmouth is in because the state put these tolls in," Meeks said.
Tolls at the two tunnels connecting Portsmouth and Norfolk cost Portsmouth $14 million in taxable sales a year, and tunnel closures cost it $10 million, according to James Koch, an Old Dominion University economist.
Harvey said he got calls from three to four people and met with Wheelabrator representative Joel Rubin about the SPSA situation. Rubin gave him a proposed letter that he "changed fairly dramatically" to focus on the big picture instead of Wheelabrator alone, Harvey said. Rubin said four Wheelabrator executives also attended the meeting with Harvey.
Harvey said he was concerned that if members didn't sign another SPSA agreement and pick Wheelabrator, the company would not obtain enough waste and would have to shut down its facility. Rob Johnson, plant manager for Wheelabrator, said the company has a backup fuel oil boiler and could use a fossil fuel to complete its contract with the Navy.
But if SPSA doesn't send waste to Wheelabrator, the Navy would likely have to figure out another steam source or build its own after 2023, Johnson and Harvey said.
Harvey said the shipyard was not at risk of being closed because of federal budget cuts, but the "attitude demonstrated by various communities" is important.
But even if the eight localities decide to sign another SPSA agreement, it remains unclear which of the three companies SPSA would work with.
Bucky Taylor, SPSA's executive director, said the authority is trying to create a new agreement by the end of the year and have it circulated to local governing bodies. But the agreement won't include exact fees — which he said are estimated to be about half of what they pay now — or which company they are selecting.
Other SPSA localities reached Monday were noncommittal or said they were still considering options concerning their trash deals.
"Secretary Harvey's letter raises some valid points and demonstrates why we need the Commonwealth's engagement and support to ensure there is an adequate solution to meet the military's needs," Norfolk Mayor Paul Fraim said in an email through spokeswoman Lori Crouch.

CAPE ELIZABETH — A couple involved in a dispute with the town has applied for legal assistance from the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine.
Kris and Marilyn Kristiansen, who sell art in Fort Williams Park, said they filed an application for assistance one day after the Town Council voted unanimously to limit the number of art vendors in the park to eight and to restrict their location to a grass-covered berm near a parking lot.
The Kristiansens declined to answer further questions, citing advice from the ACLU.
• Will the case set a civil liberties precedent?
• Will the case strengthen an existing but ignored precedent?
• What are the prospects of success and the risks of losing?
• How likely is the issue to recur?
• What educational opportunities does the case present?
"Even if your complaint falls within the above guidelines, filing a complaint does not guarantee that the ACLU of Maine Foundation will provide legal assistance," according to the website. It can take up to 60 days before applicants receive a response from the organization.
The town's new rules on art vendors went into effect Monday, Aug. 19, a week after the council's decision. During several meetings and a workshop during recent months, Kris Kristiansen had said that restricting the locations and number of art vendors in the park is a violation of First Amendment rights to free speech. The council, on the other hand, felt the restrictions are legally sound and will help preserve the scenic beauty of Fort Williams Park.
After the town's vote on Aug. 12, Healy said the ACLU was keeping an eye on the situation and hadn't ruled out taking legal action against the town.
Town Manager Michael McGovern said on Wednesday that he was not surprised the Kristiansens filed an application with the ACLU.
Another of Kristiansen's grievances deals with the site the council picked for art vendors. The grassy berm sits about 600 feet away from Portland Head Light near a gravel parking lot. Kristiansen, an asthma sufferer, said dust from the parking lot could adversely impact his health.
McGovern said the town is aware of Kristiansen's health concerns and took appropriate action. On Tuesday, town workers treated the parking lot surface with a combination of "calcium flakes" and water that tamps down on dust.
Artist Kris Kristiansen, right, sits at his vending stand at Fort Williams Park while tourists browse his collection. The location, near a parking lot about 600 feet from Portland Head Light, is defined under regulations approved earlier this month by the Town Council.


Windows Phone 7 – Always Delightful and Wonderfully Yours? Or just another Kin?
Steve Ballmer launched Windows 7 today with a strapline that is guaranteed to drag groans out of tech journalists. "Always delightful and wonderfully mine" is the mantra behind the new operating system that will be built into nine new handsets.
In a phrase that echoed the publicity around doomed teen phone the Kin, he said – "We focussed in on real people and what they really do…" It seems that Microsoft haven't abandoned the idea of a phone designed by focus groups.
The 9 different handsets are made by phones from LG, from HTC, from Samsung – all form factors – large to small.


Mrs. Joseph Dupas de Iden de Valnais, née Eunice Quincy (1760–1793), daughter of Henry Quincy (1727–1780) and distant cousin of JQA. Eunice married Valnais in 1781 while he served as French consul in Boston. He was recalled to France shortly thereafter ( Descendants of Edmund Quincy, comp. Holly, p. 8; Sibley-Shipton, Harvard Graduates , 14:667–670).


The Plymouth Evening Herald's web site today published video recorded using a state-of-the art camera strapped to a reporter's head, in what could be a trial run for solo war reporting from Afghanistan.
Maritime and defence correspondent Tristan Nichols had a small (what we used to call lipstick) camera attached to his head feeding a portable media recorder, whilst he followed Plymouth squaddies to Sierra Leone.
The result – some brilliant first hand footage, including an ambush on a patrol.

Stephen Bradley's decision to reject the option of having the game postponed, as regular starters Trevor Clarke and Jack Byrne – along with Brandon Kavanagh – were all on international duty, paid off.
The Hoops came away with the sixth win from their first eight games of the season - their best return from the opening of a campaign for 20 years.
As expected Sean Kavanagh and Dylan Watts came into the away team's starting line up in place of Clarke and Byrne, with under-19 players Darragh Nugent and Thomas Oluwya named as substitutes on the bench.
It was Watts who came closest to opening the scoring in the first half.
His long range shot had Ciaran Gallagher diving full length to turn away the ball from goal with a decent save.
At the other end Harps failed to threaten Alan Mannus' goal in the game.
The home side did use opportunities from set pieces – with Caolán McAleer's precise delivery – along with long throws that came their way to get the ball into the Rovers box but couldn't create anything meaningful.
The Rovers defence have been miserly all season and they shutout any real offensive threat from Ollie Horgan's men as the Hoops kept their sixth clean sheet of the season pretty much with ease.
Harps defended resolutely themselves though, pressing Rovers high up the pitch trying to force errors that they could exploit.
Rovers looked to move the ball from side to side and pick passes in between the blue shirts but the bounce of the ball always seemed to go the way of the home team in and around the Harps box.
Aaron Greene, as he has done on a couple of occasions already this year, had the ball in the back of the net, only for a goal to be ruled out for offside, although this time it seemed to be a correct call from the referee's assistant.
The home side reduced Rovers to a few pot shots from distance and seemed happy to be hanging on for a draw before five minutes time Harps hearts were broken.
When the ball broke to Bolger at the edge of the box, he rifled it home for Rovers for the winner to send the travelling supporters into raptures, while the Harps supporters must wait longer for their first win on the season.
The victory puts considerable daylight between Rovers and second placed Dundalk, although the Lilywhites have two games in hand.
Finn Harps: Ciaran Gallagher; Sam Todd, Keith Cowan, Niall Logue; Colm Deasy, John Kavanagh, Mark Coyle, Jacob Borg (Raffaele Cretaro 69), Daniel O'Reilly; Nathan Boyle (Mikey Place 82), Caolán McAleer.
Subs not used: Colm Deasy, Mark Russell, Niall Logue, Peter Burke, Tony McNamee.
Shamrock Rovers: Alan Mannus; Joey O'Brien, Roberto Lopes, Lee Grace, Sean Kavanagh; Aaron McEneff (Joel Coustrain 65), Greg Bolger; Dylan Watts, Ronan Finn (c), Dan Carr (Orhan Vojic 76); Aaron Greene (Sam Bone 87).
Subs not used: Leon Pohls (gk), Darragh Nugent, Thomas Oluwya, Dean Dillon.

Overkill's TWD Officially Dead, Six Days After Promising it Wasn't
by October Keegan -
sisslethecat
Don't say we didn't warn ya about Overkill's The Walking Dead. Thanks to often poor or simply uncooperative matchmaking and jarring difficulty spikes we weren't able to give it a proper review back when it originally released in November, but suffice it to say we didn't think highly of it. I had postulated at the time that what we'd gotten was essentially an official release of an unfinished product, "beta testing" on a hapless Steam audience as console versions were still due out a few months later. Well, that didn't work out so great as those were postponed in late January, and then Sony began issuing refunds for preorders a few days ago. 505 Games, co-publisher (along with Starbreeze Studios) assured people that Overkill's The Walking Dead was not canceled, but simply "postponed whilst development is on-going", and that we'd get an update as soon as possible. That was six (6) days ago, and the official word from Skybound (rights holders of TWD brand) is:
As of today, we have terminated our contract with Starbreeze Studios and will discontinue all efforts on OVERKILL'S THE WALKING DEAD. Our creators and their stories are the core of Skybound, and since 2014 we have worked hard to expand the world of The Walking Dead into an exceptional Co-op Action FPS. We did our best to work with Starbreeze and resolve many issues that we saw with the game, but ultimately OVERKILL'S THE WALKING DEAD did not meet our standards nor is it the quality that we were promised. We are exceedingly sorry to our fans and share their disappointment in the game. We remain dedicated to providing our fans with the most premium quality content we can offer, and will continue to look for alternative video game options for the IP.
The oof heard 'round the discount bin, as it were.
While TWD is still a very popular IP (despite declining viewership and ratings of the TV series), it still has yet to really get a good footing with video games. Aside from a handful of mobile things, the only other major attempts have been Telltale's TWD series (which went strong until Telltale Studio's sudden closure last year) and 2013's awful Survival Instinct, developed by Terminal Reality (a studio that closed immediately after that game's release). With Starbreeze Studios (and Overkill Software) looking down the barrel of their own closure, a morbid picture of The Walking Dead has become something of a studio killer. This revolving door of dead studios left in the wake of (what I personally think to be an utterly pedestrian IP) fills me with weary resignation as this industry seems to be falling apart around us at the cost of hundreds of jobs. Something's going to give, folks — sooner, rather than later. Probably because it was already on my mind thanks to rewatching one of my favorite Crowbcat videos, but this news is going to keep "Human" playing in my head for the rest of my evening.

Australian hybrid. History of the Chevrolet El Camino
It's a car! It's a truck! No—it's an El Camino! Chevrolet's light duty hauler is one of the most versatile machines out there. From hauling hay to heading to church, the El Camino is one of the best examples of sport plus utility ever to grace America's highways.
The idea for the El Camino isn't exactly American, though. Long before this concept had legs in the U.S., Australia had fully embraced the car/truck concept. Known down-under as the "Ute," these hybrid Fords and Chevrolets were rolling through the Outback as far back as the 1930s. Even today, long after the El Camino's exit from the American market, Utes are still a popular mode of transportation in Australia.
Ford made the first move, introducing the Ranchero in 1957. Chevrolet countered with the first El Camino in 1959. And while neither sold in overwhelming numbers, they did find a following on ranches and in oil field work. People that wanted the comfort and style of a car paired with the capabilities of a light-duty truck swore by these new vehicles.
Based on a full-sized Chevrolet wagon platform, the first generation El Camino only lasted two years. They were pretty cars—maybe too pretty for truck work. Interiors were relatively sparse, but they were fairly glittery on the outside, decked out with the up-level Bel Air-style trim.
What really may have done the first El Camino in was competition from Ford. The Ranchero went from being a trucked-up full-sized Fairlane to a smaller Falcon-based model in 1960, and the new wore off the El Camino in a hurry. No 1961 model was produced.
In fact, the El Camino wouldn't return again until 1964. This time, it was based on the intermediate Chevelle platform, and like the Ranchero, this downsizing proved to be popular. The El Camino followed all of the styling changes and improvements enjoyed by the Chevelle. You could buy a bare-bones version, complete with an inline six, to a high-horsepower SS. By 1966, you could even get a 396-c.i. big block in your El Camino. Suddenly, the El Camino didn't just haul … it hauled!
1968 introduced big changes for the Chevelle, and once again, the El Camino came along for the ride. The new El Camino was a little bigger than the one it replaced, but nowhere near the size of the original '59-'60 version.
The late 1960s was the heart of the muscle car era, and the El Camino was not immune. By 1970, you could order an El Camino SS with a 454-c.i., 450-hp LS6 big block. This wasn't just a utility vehicle to help you out around the ranch anymore. An El Camino equipped like this was one bad mamma-jamma.
GMC got in on the act in 1971, adding an identical model to their lineup known as the Sprint. That kind of "badge-engineering" wasn't as ridiculous as you might think, though. In small towns and rural areas, there may have only been a GMC distributor. Sometimes, a dealership may have carried a car-only line, line say Buick, and the GMC truck line. There were often sound business reasons to offer re-badged Chevrolets as GMC's.
The next generation of El Camino ran from 1973 to 1977. And they proved to be everything good and bad about the 1970s. On the positive side, they were sweet-riding highway cruisers. They had bulletproof drivetrains. They were safer, stronger, and came in a variety of trim levels to meet every taste.
Of course, horsepower was choked to death by the end of the decade. They were prone to rust. They had all the quality control issues that people hated about cars from that era. All cars were a bit of a tradeoff back then, but the El Camino was more popular than ever.
In 1978, virtually everything General Motors introduced was downsized, and the Malibu/El Camino was no exception. Sure, they had teeny V6's, wheezy 305 V8's, and God-awful diesels, but their smaller size was a plus. Engines and styling cues changed throughout the El Camino's remaining life, but there was never any significant effort put into the U.S. Ute. The El Camino very quietly disappeared from the Chevrolet order guide after the 1987 model year, and hasn't been back since.
Will the El Camino ever return? Hard to say. The Chevrolet SSR was kind of a car/truck thing, but it was expensive, and never really caught on. They had announced that they were going to start building the Pontiac G8 ST, which was the G8-based Ute that was already being sold in Australia. Of course, Pontiac went away, and that idea was stillborn. The seeds are out there, though, so I guess you never know.
In the meantime, we can enjoy the El Camino for what it was. The slideshow below contains more than 140 pictures of El Caminos that I took at various car shows and events over the last couple of years. They are obviously still adored by enthusiasts, and are a nice change of pace from all the '57 Chevys, Mustangs, and Corvettes that you usually see at the local car cruise. There's even a '52 Chevy Australian Ute and a custom-made '58 El Camino-type thing. Check 'em out.

Thanx. Have always liked El Caminos, but never owned one. May hafta rectify that situation here directly...
The early [59 and 60] El Caminos were very popular with another microcosmic segment of the population - rodeo contestants. The ElCamino with the torquey 348 and a Powerglide were highly favoured amongst riders and ropers - the comfort of a car plus the ability to tow a horse trailer and an open bed for saddles, feed, or whatever.

I always loved the El Camino, even when I didn't know what it was called. I saw it in a surfer movie when I was a kid and thought, "I Love That!"


Even though it is as short as 1.2 km. in length, Kakita River is considered one of Japan s Three Great Rivers . There is a spot out of which the mountain spring water flows at the foot of Mt. Fuji, located in Shimizu-cho, Shizuoka Prefecture.
More precisely, that spot is in Kakita River Park near National Highway No.1. The sight of pure water flowing out from the depth under the water radiant in cobalt blue, is so mysterious that it takes your breath away. Visitors can taste the water at the mizukumi-ba (the water pumping spot) there, enabling them to experience the dynamism of Nature.


Well the latest trailer for Godzilla was just revealed thanks to Legendary Pictures, and if you've been following my reviews the past few months, you know how this movie keeps looking better and better. Well the latest International trailer keeps the momentum going and gives us what might possibly be the last look we get at the monster before he awakens in theaters May 16th. So what did this trailer give us that others haven't? Well, it gave us the thing that no Godzilla movie is complete without: GIANT MONSTER BATTLES!!!!!!!!!!!
Again, if you've been following along, you know by now that the atomic bomb tests that are usually associated with Godzilla creation myths have been changed and are no longer the cause of the monster's creation, but rather were all attempts to kill it. The one piece of info we were always missing was where did the other monsters – named Mutos – come from. We saw nuclear waste sites as well as strange hive like structures built around radioactive weapons, but nothing was ever confirmed. Will this movie be man's monsters vs the monster that is a force of nature? Well, yes and no.
As we see in this trailer, there is some sort of strange asteroid-like object that a military installation has been built around. This object could also be what Bryan Cranston's character Joe Brody thinks the military has been 'hiding' from them. As we learn in the new trailer, man might no be able to stop this new threat, but something can.
In addition to the big reveals of this trailer, we also get the most sustained look at the new monsters as well as the one and only King of Monsters, Godzilla. If you saw the WonderCon footage – or read my article on that – you know that Godzilla and the Muto 2 not only battle it out at Honolulu Airport, but that there is a HUGE size different between the two.
Could this be the evolutionary progress of the same monster throughout the film?
Judging from the size difference and the different fight locations, its safe to assume that there is more than one Muto – especially if you are familiar with the extended look footage. Though despite there being more than one Muto present, that doesn't necessarily mean they are different types. The monster shown attacking Honolulu has a striking similarity to the one shown on the monitor in the Extended Look footage. Both are mantis like, but one has grown wings.
The monster we see in this footage is that flying V-shaped monster we saw in the first International Trailer that people misjudged as another falling plane. It has extremely developed wings but also retains some mantis-like qualities. In all seriousness, these are all evolutions of the same monster, which probably undergoes some sort of metamorphosis throughout the film and grows like a normal insect. This could also explain the worm like trail left through the jungle in that first footage.
All of these questions and theories will be answered in time. In the meantime, don't forget that before Godzilla hits theaters a book titled Godzilla: The Art of Destruction will be released with all of the art of the film on May 13th. In addition to this art book, a prequel graphic novel entitled Godzilla: Awakening will be released on the same day as well. So stay tuned for more updates as we get ready for the release of one of the BIGGEST movies of the year.


Unlike many American malls, which are largely deserted and sometimes out of business, malls in Malaysia and Singapore are busy, popular places. Not only that, but there are many malls — sometimes there is a mall every few city blocks in cities like Kuala Lumpur.
The malls often aren't just one or two or even three stories. Oh no. They're four or five or six stories! All floors are loaded with retail. There are few empty storefronts – and if there is a vacancy, there's usually a "coming soon" sign that announces a new retail shop about to open.
There are shoppers in many stores buying things — even high-end fashion retail like Bottega Veneta, Versace, Prada, Chanel, and more. How often do you see those brands open entire stores in an average American mall?
I've also noticed many stores are hiring in these modern meccas of activity. I frequently see signs posted in storefronts. I doubt the retail pay is great, but it probably is enough to make a living in Southeast Asia, which is less expensive to live than America. If all of these stores are hiring, they must be selling. I see some shoppers in the luxury stores, but more shoppers are in the mid-range stores. And it is Christmastime, so you'd expect malls to be more crowded and hiring sales people.
I went to a mall in the Bukint Bintang neighborhood in Kuala Lumpur one day to look around. I saw a crowd of people waiting in line to take pictures at a Mickey Mouse Christmas display. If you look closely at the pictures, you'll see all the people at the display, and also pouring through the main entrance. The thing is, malls here often look as crowded as this. I'll make a logical leap that malls draw people year-round, since I've seen hardly any vacant storefronts.
I've applied some logic on why malls are so popular in this part of the world, and I have some possible explanations.
The malls are air conditioned. When it's 95 degrees with 100 percent humidity and you walk into a mall, it's like walking into an ice box. It feels amazing. (Especially for me. Hot flashes and equatorial tropics don't mix too well.) In addition to protection from the equatorial sun, malls offer refuge from tropical downpours. That's how I stayed dry once on a walk home.
Malls often are located in the bottom floors of high rise buildings in this part of the world. This generates rent, which possibly helps pay for the building's construction.
Supermarkets often are located in mall basements in the cities, making it convenient to browse in a shop before stocking up on groceries.
Malls have large food courts with reasonably priced food in restaurants that are a few notches above street food. In one Singapore food court, it took us five minutes to find empty seats to sit down to eat! Does your local mall food court have standing room only?
And here's another reason: tried and true simple marketing. Everyone wants to have more – everyone wants the good life. Everyone wants to consume what's made to look good through advertising. It worked in America.
As early as November 11, Singapore malls already had decked the halls and erected Christmas trees. Malls in Malaysia also were filled with Christian holiday motif long before December, even though Christians are a minority.
Yes, the commercialization of Christmas is alive and well in Singapore and Malaysia, as evidenced by digital billboards for brands that rent space in malls. We went to a "dollar" store for a bag of candy and shaving cream, and I turned around to see Tedly frowning in an aisle awash in consumerism waste.
Tedly and I were in a train station on our way to Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur when we saw a line of 25 people waiting for an ice cream cone at a McDonald's side counter . Tedly remarked every person on the planet wishes they could be on that line. How true that is.
Malaysia ranks 43rd in the world for average income, which is at $9,650 a year. Not every Malaysian is in a mall or on line at McDonald's, but there certainly is evidence the country is chasing the good life – much like Americans seek the American Dream.
Malaysia's skyline is filled with cranes, evidence of a building boom. Everywhere you look there is new construction going up all around Kuala Lumpur, and to a lesser extent in Melaka. That's so unlike the U.S., where new construction of skyscrapers is novel in recent years. It's as if the people of Malaysia are poised to realize a better life for its middle class. Life in Kuala Lumpur looks like the life Americans want: booming construction, bustling malls, rising incomes. How ironic.
I'm sure all of Southeast Asia doesn't look like this – but I wonder how long before it will. As I see it, these malls are another reminder of how crowded the world has become, how much people want the good life, and how utterly unsustainable it all really is.
What can I do about any of it? Nothing, really. I haven't contributed to the over-population problem, and I don't buy unnecessary junk.
And so we enjoy the air-conditioned atmosphere as retired mall walkers — in some foreign malls. We buy only what we need; mostly we are culture watching. It's fascinating.

This day we were flying back to Houston. Since we needed to taste Nolan Newsom's cooking, the day started early with Neal and Nolan arriving at the bed and breakfast to prepare for breakfast. Indeed Nolan's breakfast was very good as we all enjoyed scrambled eggs, bacon, and biscuits and gravy.
It was time to finally see Newsom Vineyards. We all piled into Neal's truck and headed up the road. We passed by Nolan's three acre vineyard which includes Mourvèdre and a blending grape, and then stopped at Neal's mother's vineyard which is ten acres. Merlot was planted near the highway and we walked into the vineyard. Neal explained all three of their vineyards, a total of 130 acres, uses buried irrigation which besides being better for irrigation, also puts any weeds in the middle of the rows making for easy retrieval. Their vines are planted four feet apart in their vineyards.
All of their vineyards use a two trunk system to provide against winter damage which is their biggest issue. By having two trunks, if one gets damaged, the other trunk can still provide grapes while they start a new branch. At the rear of the vineyard were some recently planted Merlot grapes in plastic grow tubes. They also use cardboard tubes but the vines seem to do better in the plastic ones.
Neal's mother lives next to her vineyard. His father built a really nice shop next door where they do their equipment repairs and maintenance. We then stopped at his mother's house and we were introduced to Neal's mother and his sister Denise.
After saying goodbye, we stopped at Neal's house to pick up his wife Janice Newsom. The tour was then continued at Neal's vineyard by pointing out Muscat vines near the house. Along the highway by the house Neal said there were about 15 different varieties in two experimental rows. Other grapes grown beyond the road were Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Orange Muscat, and Albariño. Some wineries had their own particular blocks of rows which were marked on end posts.
Janice asked what we thought about the vigor in their vineyard rows. Since we were new to growing grapes, we were constantly learning new terms. Vigor is how dense the vines are growing together. Another term learned is cordon which are the "arms" of the grapevine extending from the trunk and is where additional arms and eventually leaves and grape clusters extend. The cordons are trained along wires as part of a trellis system. The Newsoms only use two wires on their trellis system. The cordon wire is the lowest wire training the cordon while the catch wire is the highest which helps position the shoots. Because of their shallow, sandy, red-clay soil and being able to control the canopy through the controlled deficit irrigation, they do not need to have a more elaborate trellis system.
It was pointed out how the soil is shallow where they are located. As you go further west from Brownfield which is 30 minutes to the east, the soil does get shallower on the way west to New Mexico. Newsom Vineyards also sits at 3700 feet which is 300 feet higher than Brownfield.
We stopped to look at the three acres of Cabernet Sauvignon which was Neal's first planting 26 years ago. Today those vines produce about two tons per acre and even though some vineyards consider that low, those are the Newsom's most valuable grapes and which has made their name.
We continued our tour and drove by some Tempranillo. Dan Gatlin of Inwood Estates Vineyards was one of the people who talked Neal into growing Tempranillo and some of those grapes are being grown for him. A few other wineries using Newsom Vineyards are San Martiño Winery, Bar Z Winery, and Texas Hills Vineyard. We stopped at the top of a hill which Neal called "the special effects part of his program." The view overlooked his vineyards in different directions and a newly planted vineyard in the distance.
We ended up at the "barnery." Neal said since his mother has a barn, he couldn't call his a barn and since it's not a winery, they called it the barnery. The Newsoms hold events in the barnery such as their yearly Grape Day. Inside he showed us a mechanical harvester and explained how it worked, along with the entire harvesting process from harvesting the grapes to the shipping of the grapes to the wineries. I also learned of Neal's other hobbies like flying (he used to be a crop duster), restoring antiques, and astronomy. He was particularly proud of the area to honor Dr. Roy Mitchell with Mitch Lab.
It was time to leave for the airport so the Newsoms dropped us off at the bed and breakfast to collect our luggage, and we promised we would definitely stop by again the next time we visited the area. The Newsoms are a very hospitable family and even though they do not live close to Lubbock, we would highly recommend staying at their bed and breakfast and making the drive.
It was the end of our four day trip to the High Plains but we had accomplished and learned a lot. Besides visiting new wineries, we also learned quite a bit about where the wines start in the vineyards of the High Plains.


Charles Holden was born in Bolton, Lancashire in 1875, youngest child of Joseph and Ellen Holden. After his father's bankruptcy and mothers early death when he was just 15, he spent time as both a laboratory assistant and railway clerk before considering a career in engineering.
In 1891 he began working for his brother-in-law, David Frederick Green, a land surveyor and architect in Bolton.
In April 1892 he was articled to Manchester architect Everard W. Leeson and, while training with him, also studied at the Manchester School of Art (1893–94) and Manchester Technical School (1894–96).
Holden left Leeson's practice in 1896 and worked for Jonathan Simpson in Bolton in 1896 and 1897, before moving to London to work for Arts and Crafts designer Charles Robert Ashbee. His time with Ashbee was short and in October 1899, he became chief assistant in H Percy Adams' practice, where he remained for the rest of his career. The practice became Adams & Holden in 1907 when Holden became a partner and Adams, Holden & Pearson when Lionel Pearson became a partner in 1913.Around 1898 Holden began living with Margaret Steadman (née Macdonald, 1865–1954) a nurse and midwife. Steadman was separated from her husband, James Steadman, an alcoholic University lecturer and althiugh Holden referred to her as his wife they never actually married, even after the death of her husband in 1930.
The couple initially lived in Norbiton, Surrey, before moving to Hertfordshire, finally settling in Harmer Green, where Holden designed a house for them. They would remain there for the rest of their lives.
In 1902, Holden won an Architectural competition to design the Bristol Central Library, he also designed the then headquarters of the British Medical Association on the corner of The Strand in London and amongst other buildings designed by him in his early years were the Bristol Royal Infirmary and the University of London. He was though, best known for his designs of London Underground stations in the 1920's and 30's where he designed a number of stations and the headquarters of London Underground at 55 Broadway.
In September 1918, Holden transferred to the Imperial War Graves Commission (now the Commonwealth War Graves Commission) with the new rank of Major. From 1918 until 1928 he worked on 69 Commission cemeteries. Initially, Holden ran the drawing office and worked as the senior design architect under the three Principal Architects in France and Belgium (Edwin Lutyens, Reginald Blomfield and Herbert Baker). Holden worked on the experimental war cemetery at Louvencourt and, probably on the one at Forceville that was selected as the prototype for all that followed.
In 1920, he was promoted to be the fourth Principal Architect. His work for the Commission included New Zealand memorial to the missing at Messines Ridge British Cemetery (he also designed the cemetery), and the Post Office Rifles Cemetery at Festubert. His designs were often stripped of ornament, often using simple detailed masses of Portland stone in the construction of the shelters and other architectural element. Philip Longworth's history of the Commission described Holden's pavilions at Wimereux Communal Cemetery as "almost cruelly severe"
In his later years although Charles Holden had gradually reduced his workload, he was still continuing to go into the office three days per week during the early 1950s. He did not formally retire until 1958, but even then he visited occasionally. Margaret Holden died in 1954 after a protracted illness which had left her nearly blind since the mid-1940s. In the last decade of his life, Holden was himself physically weaker and was looked after by his niece Minnie Green.
Charles Holden died on 1st May 1960 and a memorial service was held at St. Pancras New Church where he had designed the altar in 1914. He had twice declined a Knighthood (1944 & 1951)as he believed architecture to be "a collaborative process".

Reality TV Can't Fix Detroit Public Schools
Teachers hold "sick-outs" to protest broken windows, rodents, black mold and standing water.

When President Barack Obama visited the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this week, nearly all of the city's public schools were closed, extending the massive wave of "sick-outs" that have impacted tens of thousands of students.
Since Jan. 11, teachers have repeatedly called in sick to protest the physical conditions that they and students are working in, resulting in closures that have affected at least 88 schools. While the sick-outs are reducing instruction time and presenting challenges for local families, teachers point to the urgency of raising awareness about the tiles falling from the ceilings, broken windows, rodents, standing water, black mold and even mushrooms growing out of the wall.
And I recognize what they are describing. For more than four years, I was a writer-in-residence in Detroit Public Schools through the InsideOut Literary Arts Project. I taught poetry to three classes a week at both Osborn High School and the Detroit School of Arts. DSA, an application school, is housed in a beautiful six-floor building in Midtown, built in 2002 as the first LEED-certified building in the city. It features state-of-the-art performance spaces, including a black box theater and a green room. But Osborn, which opened in 1957 on 7 Mile Road, suffered from dysfunctional heating and cooling systems that left us sweating and shivering by turns as we talked about metaphor. Students wove around the trashcans placed up and down the hallways to catch rainwater that leaked from the roof.
These conditions are neither inspiring nor safe. Over the summer, Osborn benefited from a massive $5 million renovation project led by Life Remodeled, a Detroit nonprofit that did similar work at Cody High School the year before. Likewise, in 2010, the Communication and Media Arts High School was rehabilitated by NBC television show "School Pride." CMA students had pled their case to the show when they learned that their school was in danger of shutting down because of disrepair. When 1,792 volunteers showed up to help with the rehab, the reality show rerouted some of them to work on other nearby schools. Partly because of the fix-up, CMA is still open today.
But public schools should not have to rely on the occasional generosity of television producers and nonprofits to meet basic needs. The sick-outs are how teachers hope to break the complacency about Detroit schools, and, indeed, they succeeded in getting the attention of Mayor Mike Duggan. He toured the schools and promised action by ordering inspections of every building in the district. His spokesman has said that Duggan hopes to have the first 20 schools inspected by the end of the month, and all of them inspected within three months.
But Duggan has also urged teachers to return to the classroom, saying that while their frustrations are legitimate, "the solution is not to send the kids home." This week, the school district requested a court injunction to stop the sick-outs, arguing that they are depriving students of their right to education. The court denied the requested restraining order to compel the teachers to return to work, but it scheduled a hearing for Jan. 25. In Michigan, it is illegal for teachers to strike.
Notably, the school system is run by Darnell Earley, the same state-appointed emergency manager who presided over the ill-fated decision in Flint to switch to untreated river water, leading to a public health crisis in the city of nearly 100,000 people. He is the latest in a string of managers who have operated the school district for nearly seven years.
But state oversight has not been able to pull the school system onto an upward trajectory. It owes a debilitating $3.5 billion in debt, mostly in pension liabilities. About a third of the revenue that comes into the district goes toward paying it down.
Earley has said that the school district will run out of cash within the next five months if the state doesn't step in to help. Duggan calls for the state to "act with real urgency." A report issued last fall from Michigan State University underscored how "Michigan incubates financial distress" in its cities because of its "stringent limitations on local revenue and its relatively low level of financial assistance to cities." The state has diverted more than $6 billion in planned revenue sharing away from cities since 2001, and it is difficult for cities to raise revenue themselves because of laws that put unusually strict caps on locally collected property taxes.
It's a toxic mix that hamstrings the ability of cities to invest in what citizens value most — like a good public school system.
If Michigan has learned anything from the Flint water crisis, where it failed to heed citizens who pointed out hazardous conditions in a community led by a state appointee, then it should step in here.
Governor Rick Snyder's proposed plan for Detroit Public Schools is to split the district in two. The debilitating debt and the elected school board would remain with the "old" district, along with the operating millage, while a new Detroit Community School District would teach children and be supported by state funding that operates on a per-pupil basis, along with an additional compensating appropriation. It is more or less modeled on the process that got General Motors through bankruptcy. Last week, Michigan lawmakers introduced legislation that sets up the structure for this district with a nine-person school board that is appointed by Snyder and Duggan. The mayor will hire the superintendent.
At this point, it's hard to tell if this plan is a solid one, or simply the only reform option on the table. Meanwhile, Detroit families have been voting with their feet: More than half of the city's schoolchildren now attend charter schools. While charter schools draw funding from the traditional school system, they are outside its oversight. As an expansive investigation from the Detroit Free Press pointed out, some charter schools are excellent while others are quite poor — and Michigan lacks a strong system of accountability for the privately operated charters, making it difficult for families to tell the difference.
In his state of the state address last Tuesday, Snyder also said that he would create a commission on 21st-century education, a "bipartisan, multi-stakeholder" team that focuses on how to overhaul the state's school system. The commission is expected to report its findings in November.
But it shouldn't be too difficult to sort out the core problem in Detroit.
When you disinvest a school system, you end up with schools that don't just have trouble providing a quality education, but also with keeping students and staff safe and secure. The sick-outs are an attempt by teachers to force public officials to look at the fallout of this systematic disinvestment. If they are going to continue to champion Detroit's successful navigation of the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history, they need to account, too, for the public schools. Here in a city that is working to make good on its promise of a comeback, Detroit Public Schools should be a point of stability and pride.

Q: How do you add to array in mongodb I just wanted to know how to add to a array in a mongodb document because I only know how to reassign the whole array in the document.

A: As reported in MongoDB docs, if you have the following document in the students
collection:

{
   "_id" : 5,
   "quizzes" : [
      { "wk": 1, "score" : 10 },
      { "wk": 2, "score" : 8 },
      { "wk": 3, "score" : 5 },
      { "wk": 4, "score" : 6 }
   ]
}

you can add the following documents to the quizzes array with the following command:
db.students.update(
   { _id: 5 },
   {
     $push: {
       quizzes: {
          $each: [ { wk: 5, score: 8 }, { wk: 6, score: 7 }, { wk: 7, score: 6 } ]
       }
     }
   }
)
