G. Bostock. Born in Mexico City, currently works between London, Oslo and Mexico City. The work of G. Bostock is a re-iterant exploration on these wound around the long poem. The work sways between conceptual writing and critique of language's conventions. He is co-founder of Woodnote Editions, a platform for independent publishing. His work consists of poems, sound and multimedia installations and multiples.
G. Bostock writes in English and Spanish using language as a starting point and critique of language. His work navigates the margins of sense and meaning and concentrates on long poems that result in book objects. These multiples relate to the traditional of conceptual art and challenges present literary practice. During the 1990's G. Bostock's work concentrated in a series of long poems such as Linea and Doblez, the final print was a collaboration with artist S. Brüggemann and explores the idea of translation. It was published in London in 2004.
In 2007 he started a series of minimal epic poems on the nature of nomadic thought, magic, meaning and modernism. These travel fragments were first published in Three Icelandic Poems. Other drafts were published in the Mandorla Magazine, New Writing of the Americas, published in US and edited by poet Roberto Tejada.
In 2009 the published the poem For With, a research on the theme of adjectives. The same year he was invited by Hans Ulrich Obrist to participate in the Serpentine Gallery's Poetry Marathon. In 2010 G. Bostock suffered a hemorragic stroke caused by an underlying AVM, a very rare condition of vascular malformation. During rehabilitation he wrote the book Gamut 2012, exploring the cycles of despondency, hope and fatigue associated with stroke recovery through iterations within the long poem. In 2015 he published Strand Whisper Gang, a mediation on geology and slow time and the inconsistency of language. In 2016 he published Hyaloid, a poem of found fragments that pays homage to the work of John Cage and Bern Porter.
He is currently working on expanding the themes explored in Three Icelandic Poems. He has participated in various Art Book and Poetry Festivals in the Netherlands, UK and America.

You have downloaded and installed the J2SDK. You have run the demo applications. Now you are ready to write, compile, and execute your first Java program. Writing a Hello World! program is the traditional first step taken when learning a new language. It allows you to take the new language and its development tools through a test-drive, stepping through the complete install, edit, compile, and run cycle without getting bogged down in language details (plenty of that later).
Input/output operations route data from the keyboard, files or programs into your program and from there to the screen, printer, files or other programs. For simple tasks such as dumping your output to a file or printer or using a text file as an input script simple redirection provided by the operating system is all that is required. Our previous tutorials have used System.in and System.out objects to read and write from the standard input and output streams.
Exploring this area of db4o is a tricky undertaking and gives me the opportunity to show off a tactic taught to me by good friend: exploration tests. (Thanks to Stu Halloway, who first coined the phrase, as far as I know.) An exploration test, in a nutshell, is a series of unit tests written not only to test the library in question, but also to explore the API and ensure that the library behaves the way it is expected to. As a useful side-effect of this approach, future library versions can then be dropped into the exploration test code, compiled, and tested. If the code doesn't compile or the exploration tests don't all pass, then the library is clearly not backward-compatible, and you will find out before ever trying to use it in a production system.
Random access files allow files to be accessed at a specific point in the file. They can also be opened in read/write mode which allows updating of a current file. The constructor is RandomAccessFile(File fileObject, String accessMethod) where the access method is either "r" or "rw". The seek(long position) method moves the file position pointer. It is incremented automatically on a write. The getFilePointer() method returns the current file position pointer. The file size can be adjusted with setLength(). Normal i/o methods are used for access.

'Dual Rail' technology envisions short painting lines and 100% automation through integrated application concepts.
Painting robot with handling functionality: between hand axis and atomizer, a tool is mounted that can open and close hoods and doors.
Here, painting robots and handling devices are arranged above one another to save space.
The EcoBell2 HX, an atomizer for all cases, is equally suitable for interior and exterior application as well as for the painting of plastic add-on pieces.
A complete painting line, almost 30% shorter, with fully automatic paint application, highly flexible and with a capacity of more than 50 units per hour?
Yep, it's a reality. According to Dürr Systems, Inc. (Auburn Hills, MI) such a line will be put into operation this year.
Short painting lines save money on two counts: investment and operating costs. Dürr's new solvent-based, 3-wet process is all about full automation (exterior and interior robot paint application) offering the possibility of short painting lines, high transfer efficiency, minimum color change losses, consistent quality and reduced energy demand.
Typically, robots are accompanied by fail-safe protection—backup zones with manual applicators—adding length to the line as well as potential quality problems.
Another way to compensate for a robot down is to reassign the painting scopes in the affected station to the remaining robots, a strategy called "degrade." System capacity needs to be considered for this strategy, though. If a temporary reduction of the system capacity is acceptable, a line can manage with the number of robots required for optimum output. But if that's not the case, redundancy has to be built into the robot station.
The degrade concept has become state-of-the-art in exterior application. In interior application, however, the connections are more complex. In interior painting, not only are painting robots used, but also robots for handling and opening and closing doors and hoods. In standard interior painting setups with only one traveling rail per side, handling robots share the rail with painting robots—so they can't be used for various jobs.
According to Dürr, this inflexible situation with its related disadvantages is solved by the company's "dual rail" technology. The setup consists of a robot cell with two traveling rails per each side, laid out above one another with painting robots on the lower rail, and handling robots on the upper one. This way, they can act completely independent of each other, and a mutual overtaking is now possible, filling an important requisite for degrade mode.
Dürr says that an important feature of its Ecopaint robot concept is high flexibility of the overall system, another essential factor for degrade. Thus, a hood opener can also open doors and a painting robot can replace handling robots. And the local separation of painting and handling leads to a shortening of the station length.
With this setup, says Dürr, the degrade challenges are fundamentally solved, and backup zones can be eliminated. When the interior and exterior stations are considered together, however, there are still too many robots, creating redundancy. Combining the interior and exterior application (in other words: a robot of the interior station would become an all-rounder) would allow the exterior station to be laid out optimally without redundancy. The all-rounder robot could paint interior and exterior and open doors and hoods.
Traditionally, says Dürr, the problem with this concept is that atomizers typically couldn't be used equally well for interior and exterior surfaces—and with both narrow and wide paint patterns—while still maintaining high transfer efficiency and finish appearance quality.
The company's answer to this is its EcoBell2 HX, a merger of its EcoBell2 for exterior painting and EcoBell2 HD for interior application—an atomizer for all cases.
The company has big dreams for its all-case atomizer. With few exceptions, most painting lines worldwide are designed as line concepts, with one application step following another. This linear process, says Dürr, has been necessitated by the differing applicators for the individual paint applications. Pneumatic atomizers for interior painting, bells for the first base coat application, pneumatic atomizers again for the second base coat application. But these sequential steps may no longer be necessary with the EcoBell2 HX, Dürr says.
Modular or integrated concepts, where a vehicle is painted completely, inside and out, in one station, would be conceivable. The advantages of such a system are clear: maximum painting time relative to total cycle time, reduction of color change loss, and high flexibility concerning the total system capacity are a few. By switching individual modules on or off, it's foreseeable that such a system would make it possible to react to market demands considerably faster than is the case today.

In contrast to the well-established stability prediction tools, a robust real-time stability indicator is proposed for micromilling process, and it opens the possibility of online chatter avoidance based on successful detection. In this paper, a robust and easy-to-compute stability indicator is presented. This approach exploits the virtue of a stable milling process—the displacement of the vibrating tool repeats with a period of tooth passing. It has been observed that the standard deviation of the tool displacement sampled at once per tooth passing frequency is indicative of chatter, where a low standard deviation coincides with stable cutting. An increase in standard deviation is the direct consequence of an increase in asynchronous motion of the tool, coinciding with chatter. As it is also well known, this asynchronous vibration of the tool results in distinct marks on the workpiece surface. This paper presents the experimental validation of this real-time stability indicator. The ease of implementation makes the presented stability indicator a strong candidate for applications in chatter avoidance based on detection. The results are also verified against the standard stability prediction method.

Creativity is associated with mental disorder, says new study
New research shows people with bipolar disorder (and siblings of people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder) are more likely to work in creative professions. The study, published in the November issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry, lends further support to the commonly-held view that creativity is associated with mental disorder.
Researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden studied the occupations of over 300,000 patients who had received inpatient treatment for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or depression between 1973 and 2003, and their relatives who did not have a diagnosis of mental disorder. The patients and their non-diagnosed relatives were compared to a control group.
People's professions were categorised using the Nordic Classification of Occupations. Creative professions include both scientific jobs (such as university teachers) and artistic jobs (designers, performing artists, musicians and authors).
Here's what the researchers found:
People with bipolar disorder were over-represented in creative professions
However, this was not true for people with schizophrenia or depression
The healthy siblings of people with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia were more likely to hold creative occupations than the control group
Lead researcher Dr Simon Kyaga said:
Creativity has long been associated with mental disorder, epitomised by Aristotle's alleged claim that 'no great genius has ever existed without a strain of madness'. Our study, which is much larger than previous studies, shows that people with bipolar disorder, and their siblings, are more likely to work in creative professions.
Kay Redfield Jamison, Professor of Psychiatry at the John Hopkins University of Medicine, welcomed the research. Writing in an editorial in the same issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry, Professor Jamison said:
This large, well-designed study by Kyaga and his associates gives support to accumulating evidence showing a disproportionately high rate of mental illness, especially bipolar disorder, in creative individuals.
No one would argue that there is a straightforward relationship between psychopathology and creativity. Most people who are creative do not have mental illness, and most people who are mentally ill are not unusually creative. It is, rather, that there is a disproportionate rate of psychopathology, especially bipolar disorder, in highly creative individuals.

Having read Dr. Jamison's "Touched With Fire", I was already persuaded of this, but as Dr. Jamison herself says, it is good to see the result borne out in such a well-designed study.
What I find especially interesting is the results from siblings without mental-health problems. It would be interesting to see some future work done about whether this applies to siblings who are raised separately as well, or if this is indication that creativity is a different expression of the same genes that provide bipolar disorder.

This study confirms what I always thought. Creativity means seeing or perceiving things in your own head, or hearing sounds and conversations that can be transcribed in form of writings and publications. Will this mean that prophets and messengers of God were simply schizophrenic patients.

According to results announced by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) here on Friday, Rahul Sharanappa Shankanur from Hubballi, who secured 17th rank, is top rank holder among the candidates selected from the state.
Apart from Rahul, other three candidates Lakshmi N (45), Akash S (78) and Kruthika (100) from the state secured within 100 ranks.
Other candidates who passed the examination and their ranks: Koushik H R (240), Vivek H B (257), Niveditha S Balaraddiyavar (303), Girish Dharmaraj Kalagond (307), Mirza Qadir Baig (336), Thejas U P (338), Harshavardana B J (352), Pakkiresh Kallappa Badami (372), Nagarjun B Gowda (418), Ashwija B V (423), Manjunath R (495), Brinda S (496), Hemanth N (612), Shruthi M K (637), Venkatram (694), Ashok Kumar S (711), Ragavendra N (739), Santhosha H (753) and Shashikiran S (754).
Rahul Sharanappa Sankanur, a resident of Hubballi and a native of Idagunji village in Ron taluk of Gadag, has secured 17th rank in the UPSC exams. He stands first to Karnataka.
Rahul cleared the civil service exams in fifth attempt. He had cleared the Mains in 2016 and 2017 too, but could not clear the interview. A student of Ramakrishna Vidyashala, Mysuru, and R V Engineering College, Bengaluru (E&C branch), Rahul owes his success to the school in Mysuru.
"I had a fixed routine and would study 13 hours every day. Newspapers, magazines, internet and most importantly, interacting with people who had solutions for a majority of problems faced by India, helped me clear the exams," he said.
He desires to serve in the education field and aims at providing quality education to the next generation. His father, Sharanappa Sankanur, is a retired PWD executive engineer, and mother Savitha is a homemaker. His uncle S V Sankanur is an MLC from BJP.


Family and friends of aging loved ones can often assume that everything is going well with their senior that lives alone. This is partly because this is a person who always seems to have everything together. Many seniors work hard to hide the challenges they have from their loved ones. They want to hold on to their independence for as long as possible. It is also important for them to not feel like a burden to anyone.
Adult children, family and friends can overlook the signs that indicate your aging loved one needs help in the home. While this is common, it can lead to hazardous conditions, failing health and even worse. Seniors may not always tell you that they need a helping hand. There are a few indicators to help family see that their senior loved one needs help at home. A Glendale residential care center could provide the extra help your loved one needs.
Here are four signs that your senior may need help at home.
During this phase in life, it is best to have the help of family or professionals from a Glendale residential care center when someone starts having problems remembering simple things. Difficulty remembering little things can be harmful to their health and well-being. You antagonize over whether they ate, took their meds or turned the stove off after use. These are all situations that could lead to bad outcomes.
If you notice that your loved one is having trouble getting up, walking or balancing themselves, they may need assistance in the home. This type of change makes them more prone to falls, which could lead to fractured or broken bones.
Seniors who become confused or disoriented with the order of a task may need the assistance of a Glendale residential care center professional or other family. This happens with the simplest tasks, such as preparing their favorite dish, dressing themselves or other similar things. Seniors will sometimes brush it off as a slip of the mind but when this occurs regularly, it may be a sign of worsening health conditions.
While anyone could overspend or improperly balance their accounts occasionally, it is more severe when seniors continue to make costly mistakes. Seniors who have trouble maintaining their bank accounts, credit card payments or paying their bills on time could benefit from the help of loved ones. Seniors who were once financially responsible but have started to use poor judgement regarding finances are often in need of a little guidance from family. Seniors and their families could find relief in this area with help from professional counselors at a Glendale residential care center.
Broadview Residential Care Center provides help for seniors who need extra care. Contact us at (818) 246-4951 for more information on how we can help your family today.

(2018-12-03) Godzilla! Run!
Franklin arrives for a brief interlude during dinner.
Godzilla! Run!
Summary: Franklin arrives for a brief interlude during dinner.
Related: http://calaveras.wikidot.com/log:2018-12-02-just-breathe
.. .. .. ..
Run, cowards, run! Godzilla is stomping around the street and making the house shake… only… well, it's not. It's just Sergeant Franklin Payne, making another visit to the B&B. He's in full winter uniform with the thicker jacket, but unlike last time, he hasn't come here bearing gifts. Hell, at least he isn't lugging an M240 machinegun! He looks around the hallway once he enters the place, taking a few moments to follow the sounds of voices towards the kitchen, where it's… semi-dark. Why is it semi-dark? That alone brings a suspicious frown to his face, but at least there are normal people gathered there, eating normal food and talking normally. Mostly. "Hey." He rumbles a generic greeting, upnods at Anthony and then Esme, as well as Katherine. "I don't think I remember not seeing you in here with food, ever."
"A new mixer." Katherine looks almost dreamy at the thought. "I'll text Xavier and see if he's up for it, and when. If it gets too late or the roads get bad, we'll find a hotel as well." She wrinkles her nose and shakes her head. "I'm going to hope that doesn't happen, Charlotte is happy enough to keep an eye on Vyv and Claire, but she gets nervous being here alone for some reason." She blinks as Franklin makes his way into the kitchen, shaking her head as she aims a smile up at him. "It's a kitchen, Frank. Food gets made here.." She gestures to the counter, her headtilt slight. "You want a piece of pizza? I was going for Detroit style, not sure if I hit it right on the head or not."
The heavy slugging of Franklin into the house was one not easily dismissed, and the size of the absolute unit of a man was not easily ignored. The upnod received an easy inclination of a hand toward the man and Anthony nodded toward his arrival, "Evenin' Sarge" he greeted with a smile, gesturing toward him with a flick of a few fingertips as he looked toward Esme, "See, 'at tank of a guy right there is why I don' worry about Kate as much as I do what'd happen to the guy who fucks her ova' " he grinned and took a sip of his wine.
"Sounds like a plan. And does she? Hmm…" Wheels turning in her head, probably about ghosts and trying a seance some time. But once Franklin enters the room she refocuses on the present. "Good evenin." She wiggled her fingers to him in greeting to him, smiling to Anthony. "I wouldn't worry about her either." She chuckled, taking another bite of her pizza and relaxing into her seat, looking a little curious but not asking.
"Mister Tony. There's a guy fuckin' her over?" Frank quirks a brow at Anthony, and shoots the same questioning look at Katherine. Another nod is aimed at Esme, as well as a simple "Ma'am", and then the cop is eyeing the offered pizza. With perhaps a hint of temptation before Frank shakes his head. "No, I'm good. Listen, Kate, I don't wanna interrupt yer dinner too much, but, if you got a minute right now I like to have a quick chat." He pauses to regard the others briefly. "Privately."
Katherine grunts softly and she shakes her head at Tony before she gets to her feet. "C'mon, Frank. I can handle it if someone is." Compared to the police officer, she's short now, and she nods up at him. "Yeah, we can go in the great room and talk, you two are going to be okay?" She asks Esme and Anthony, before she blinks, her cheeks pink. "Oh and this is Franklin Payne, he's one of the wonderful police officers keeping us safe here in town." She gestures to Esme, smiling. "This is Esme, she works at the library, and of course you met Tony." She clears her throat, gesturing for Frank to step in ahead of her. "I'll be back you two, enjoy the wine while I'm gone."
"Oh, I dunno about the ova' part, Sarge, Westin seems a'right…" Anthony replied to Franklin's query with a smile and shrugged his shoulders, "Sorry ta' get you worked up" he added and he raised a finger in acknowledgment of the glance when he'd eluded to privacy, "We'll be here, Kate, take ya' time…" he assured her, glancing toward Esme he whispered - though intended it just loud enough to be heard, "She's outta' the room, quick, we can christen the kitchen counta' " and winked cartoonishly with a grin toward Katherine.
"It's nice to meet you Officer Payne." Esme offered a smile, though if Kate wasn't blushing, Esme was blushing for her when Anthony spoke up again. She started laughing, unable to help it. Leaning over she gave Tony a playful swat on his upper arm. "You're terrible Mr. Malone." The red staying as he stage whispered to her. "The counter and the chairs!" She stage whispered back and winked towards Kate. "We'll behave as much as we can dear."
So yeah…. Franklin totally catches that part about 'Westin'. He's already heading out to the great room with Katherine, and that little snippet actually makes the giant cop stop. And frown. And narrow his eyes at Anthony. Kinda like… http://www.quickmeme.com/img/3d/3d0fc926557a27d3bebae6145224690a1bb67d9af107ce9d9b4153b2679a1f0e.jpg
Fortunately, there is this chat thing he needs to take care of, so he heads off without involving police brutality.
Katherine winces when Franklin narrows her eyes at Anthony, clearing her throat as her cheeks get pink. She walks into the great room with the large police officer, stepping around him to feed two more logs to the fireplace. "What's up, Frank?" She asks, fidgeting and poking at the embers before she adds some tinder coax it into a flame. She pulls a throw off of one of the chairs, sinking on the couch and pulling the throw around her.
Franklin follows out to the great room, and stands next to the fireplace while Katherine gets the fire going. He's got his hands on his hips, and that frown still aimed in the direction of the kitchen. "I think I'm gonna have a talk with that clown." He grumbles, then turns his head to regard Katherine. "Teach him a lesson or two about manners." Oh no, big cop not happy. "Anyway. Julian says Sarah is back in town; is she around?" Even as he asks, Frank is peering towards the stairs.
Kate gets to her feet, taking a deep breath, and then another before she shakes her head at Franklin. "Sarah isn't in at the moment." She looks guarded, taking another deep breath before she quirks a brow. "Is everything okay?" She glances toward the kitchen, frowning before she mutters. "Frank, is it really worth all that? I think he says those things to attempt to provoke…" She makes vague gestures at Franklin and his frown. "..exactly what you're doing." She clears her throat, pointing at the couch. "Have a seat?"
"To provoke my fist in his mouth, and my boot up his ass?" Franklin shrugs his massive shoulders, and moves to take a seat on the couch. "No, it's not. But sometimes people mistake our tolerance for cowardice. If you piss off a cop enough that he's determined to make yer life miserable? You prolly won't think it's very funny after a few days, especially in a town of this size." With a shake of his head, Frank dismisses that thought and refocuses on the matter at hand. "So about Sarah. Is she sick? I'm not talking about a flu. I'm talking about serious illness."
Kate sits on the couch once Franklin settles down, drawing her legs up so she's looking at him over her knees. "You're so violent." She murmurs, but she doesn't really sound upset about it, just resigned to the fact. "Sarah is sick. I don't know the details yet, Frank. She was keeping it from me. Only reason I found out was I overheard her talking on the phone yesterday about a neurologist. Gave me a panic attack, the EMT's made me go to the hospital." She rests her chin on her knees. "Lynn spends more time outside of the house than in it, and Sarah won't come out of her room or answer her door. I'm pretty shit at this parenting thing." She glances toward the fire. "Julian send you down?"
Franklin shakes his head. "No. Julian was worried about you and the girls, but he wasn't sure what to do to help, and the news about Sarah has me concerned." He explains, but his rather intense gaze is on Katherine now as he leans forward with his elbows on his knees. "So you went to the hospital, but not Sarah?" What the hell. "If she's seeing a neurologist, that's something." He straightens up and reaches into his breast pocket, retrieving a card which is offered to Katherine. "But if she isn't, try to get her to see a doctor. Soon." The big man seems to want to say some more, but the revelation that Kate had a panic attack seems to have given him pause.
The card, as it turns out, is for one Doctor Uma Campbell.
Kate takes the card, gazing at it, fingering the script quietly for a minute or two. "She won't talk to me Frank. I didn't want to go to the hospital, I wanted some answers. When I got home that evening she was gone, and since she's been in she's not answering her door. I tried to get her to come in the ambulance with me, but ..she wouldn't." She tucks the card in her pocket and gazes at the fire. "She's nineteen, Frank. I can push. I can ask, and I can even sit and be quiet and wait for her to tell me what's going on. I can't demand. I've tried. It doesn't work." She gazes back at Franklin and frowns. "I'll keep trying, but I'm barely treading water here."
Franklin bobs his head in understanding. "You sure are gettin' some shit luck with yer sisters, Kate." He cups his chin with one big hand, and strokes his goatee thoughtfully. "You're right though; she's nineteen, so legally there's nothing you can do if she doesn't want to tell you nothing. Off the record, just keep an eye on what she's takin'; look for empty bottles she's tossing out… prescription drugs bottles. They might give ya an idea what her problem is."
"This was never the plan, Frank. It happened and I'm dealing with it, and I'm doing a bad job. I wish things had been different." Katherine gazes at Franklin and shrugs a shoulder. "I'll let you know if she spills and tells me what is going on, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. You'll turn blue. You're a better color where you're at." She goes quiet for a few moments, gazing at the fire. "How is Julian? He doing okay? I meant to call him today, but I haven't got the chance."
Franklin lifts a brow, all Rock-like. S:-/ "He's alright. As much as he can be, with the cult blowing up his station and stuff." Beat. "Like I said he's worried about all of you, cuz you've got other problems aside from your sisters." There is a longer pause. "Does it have anything to do with this Westin guy that your mobster friend mentioned?" He jerks a thumb back towards the kitchen. "You know what? Forget I asked. Just tell me it's not another Cassius situation."
"Julian doesn't need to worry, you can pass that along if you're so inclined. Tell him that Westin moved out." Katherine settles back on the couch, watching Franklin with an amused look on her face. "Listen, Frank. Xavier Westin is a multi-millionaire who wants to pamper me and treat me nicely. You can literally look up his company if it will make you feel better. He's helping me make a deal on the Winchester downtown. He's a really nice man, and if you met him, you would absolutely agree and you wouldn't be worried. It's not a Cassius situation. He's just a nice guy, alright?" She narrows a look at him and frowns. "So when you /do/ meet him, do me a favor and don't scare him off. I like him."
Franklin listens to Kate, but eyes the woman appraisingly. At the end of it, he again quirks a brow and sits up. "Why do you assume I'm gonna scare this guy off? I can be friendly when I want to be. Look." He forces an obviously false grin to his face, which actually makes him look like a psychotic giant. With a big ass gun. "See?" The grin disappears as if on cue. "Listen, I'll be happy for you if you find a decent guy. It's just that Julian said you had other things to worry about, and knowing your track record with picking guys…" AHEM. He clears his throat and pushes up to his feet. "…Anyway, hang on to that card. Get Sarah to see the doc if you can, kay?"
Katherine simply stares at Franklin. That grin could scare away Pennywise. She rolls her eyes and gets to her feet, planting her hands on her hips. "Yeah, Frank. How about you set me up with a decent guy? How about that? Oh wait, there isn't anyone good enough?" She rolls her eyes and grimaces. "Imagine that." She brushes her hair way from her face, walking over to the fireplace. "The things I have to worry about aren't a worry now that Westin moved out. Problem solved." She turns, poker in hand. "What track record?" She asks quietly, watching Frank push to his feet. She turns back to the fire and shrugs. "I'll give the card to Sarah, see what I can find out, and I'll be in touch."
"That ain't a bad thing, this Westin guy moving out." Frank opines, after he quickly checks his holster. "You told me before you don't like gettin' involved with your guests. It's easier if he's not your guest." Beat. "And no, Kate, do I look to you like someone who has time to set people up? If I do, I'd have found a new mom for Luci by now." He quickly checks his watch, and starts to walk. "I'll drop by some other time. Gimme a call if you figure out what's up with Sarah."
"Get on out of here, Frank. Thanks for stopping by." Katherine says, walking with him to the door. "Take the time to slow down a little bit, and maybe you'll meet someone. Life is gonna pass you by pretty quickly if you don't take care of yourself." She holds the door open, her brow furrowed. "I'll be in touch."

Justin turned two last July 7. Ed and I decided to hold two separate parties for him since our small condo unit would not be able to accommodate his godparents and our whole family. We invited his ninongs and ninangs on July 7 and then the entire family the Saturday thereafter (July 12). They were nothing grand, really. We had on the usual birthday fare for kids (spaghetti, fried chicken, cake) and we had menudo, grilled bangus, sugpo (thanks to Dennis and Meg), cassava (courtesy of Orlan and Meann) for the not-so-young ones. Justin wore a Chinese-inspired costume that his Dad bought in Singapore on a recent business trip. He was so cute!!! I guess all mommies feel that way about their babies. I'm so looking forward to celebrating more of his birthdays with family and friends. Happy birthday, son!

SOCMA Says Concerns Remain Despite EPA's Proposed Changes to Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources Rule
The Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (SOCMA) said serious concerns remain over the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) failure to completely exempt "synthetic minors" from a key Title V provision in the rule.
The Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (SOCMA) recently acknowledged improvements to proposed changes to the chemical manufacturing area sources rule, but said serious concerns remain over the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) failure to completely exempt "synthetic minors" from a key Title V provision in the rule.
The new proposal reportedly addresses several of SOCMA's concerns, such as fixing the "family of materials" concept in a way that gives chemical companies certainty regarding the reach of the rule. On others, however-especially the Title V provision-SOCMA reports it is concerned about the EPA's logic and the rule's cost impact. This rule has been a top environmental priority for SOCMA members over the last few years, leading SOCMA to file a Petition for Reconsideration of the final rule with the EPA in February 2010.
The EPA originally proposed to exempt all chemical manufacturing area sources from the requirement to obtain a costly Title V permit, but reversed course in the final rule. The requirement that synthetic minors get a Title V permit-which is currently stayed-would limit the speed and flexibility with which those units can respond to market opportunities. This is reportedly a major issue for SOCMA members, whose batch and specialty chemical businesses have diverse and rapidly changing product mixes.
SOCMA also expressed disappointment about the EPA's failure to address other issues raised in the 2010 petition, including the establishment of a de minimis threshold and a fairer R&D exemption. In fact, by not? proposing to reduce the applicability threshold in one area, the EPA will actually increase the number of facilities that will be subject to the rule.
The agency also did not address the urgent need for an extension of the October 2012 compliance deadline, which SOCMA has repeatedly raised with the EPA. Given the uncertainty about what the end result of the reconsideration process would look like-including confusion about how the concept of "family of materials" would affect the scope of the rule-SOCMA members have been hesitant to begin investing significant sums of money to comply with a rule that is still a work in progress in many significant respects. The EPA will be hard-pressed to finalize the revised rule before the compliance date and, in fairness, should postpone the deadline until well after that rule is published.

What, exactly, set off the students at Brown?
Apparently, a "Latinx" student – these morons won't use Latino because it's gender-specific, so instead they make up words – was allegedly assaulted by a Department of Public Safety officer. What actually happened? A drunk student was confronted by two DPS officers, who according to Dartmouth student Geovanni Cuevas, made "severe eye contact" with the student and patted him down "in a way that made it clear that the power was in the officer's hands and that the person that was being touched just needed to sit there and take it." Which is what cops do when dealing with people violating the law.
Cuevas alleges that he began arguing with the officers, who told him that if he entered one of the dorms, he would be considered trespassing; he then went into one of the dorms anyway, and the cops then "slammed" him against the wall and "threw" him to the ground. He was then handcuffed and detained until another Brown student verified he was a guest on campus.
This spurred massive protests across the campus as well as a full university investigation. The Latinx conference Cuevas was attending suspended itself in order to spend its time rabblerousing nonetheless. Delegates demanded that Brown apologize, reimburse all the conference participants, fund another conference, and have meetings with "students of color." Students complained that police issued descriptions of suspects that included racial characteristics. One student yelled at administrators, stating, "Everyone that you have right now making the decisions is part of the system that perpetuates this racism." Another said, "It's not racism; it's white supremacy." A third explained, "You're not of color so you can't really tell us how we feel about this. You're also not the person who's feeling unsafe." Students complained that they were feeling "emotionally traumatized" by the debate itself.
Two other incidents drove all of this weeping and gnashing of teeth: the publication of two columns that offended students in the Brown Daily Herald. Both columns were written by student M. Dzahlia Maier. One, titled, "The white privilege of cows" suggested that perhaps natural inequality could be at least partially attributed to differences in biology between races; he wrote, "whenever I see a white college student, reeking of privilege, I recall the coincidence (or causal relationship) between white physical features and animal agriculture." This is dumb and yes, racist. But it is no more racist than people protesting the column by stating that only people of particular races have the capacity to speak on particular issues. And it is certainly no more dumb than the pathetic specimens at Brown attempting to censor the column for offensiveness.
It is factually inaccurate, as well as wrongheaded, to deny the horrific truth of the crimes perpetrated by the American government. Should Native Americans get their lands back? Of course they should. But wishing to revert to a past circumstance, before Columbus, has hundreds of caveats (in the form of fruits, vegetables, animals and medicines), and wishing for a brighter future requires reconciliation with a modern world glimmering from stem to stern with Old World trimmings, atop foundations established by Columbus.
This column has been removed after it was unintentionally published due to an internal error. The column made a racist argument about how Native Americans should interpret the meaning of Columbus Day and its history. We apologize to our readers for the offensive claims made in the column and for the shortcomings of our editorial process. After initially deciding the column was suitable for publication, a couple of editors read the column late last night and decided not to publish it.
Clearly, Haidt is right. Brown is the proof. And we'll all be paying the freight for these self-appointed victims who wallow in their victimhood, to the detriment of society and the country.

Adam Patrick DeVine (* 7. November 1983 in Waterloo, Iowa) ist ein US-amerikanischer Komiker, Schauspieler und Filmproduzent. Er ist einer der Schöpfer und Hauptdarsteller der Comedy-Central-Sitcom Workaholics sowie der Comedyshow Adam DeVine's House Party. DeVine ist außerdem in den Musik-Komödien Pitch Perfect und Pitch Perfect 2 und der Sitcom Modern Family zu sehen.

Leben

Kindheit und Jugend
DeVine wurde von seinen Eltern Dennis und Penny DeVine großgezogen. Er wuchs in Omaha (Nebraska) auf und graduierte 2002 von der Millard South High School. Gemeinsam mit seinem Freund und späteren Kollegen Blake Anderson besuchte er das Orange Coast College.

Im Juni 1995 wurde DeVine im Alter von 11 Jahren von einem Beton-Fahrmischer angefahren, als er sein Fahrrad über die Straße schob. Die Tatsache, dass das Fahrrad dabei zuerst getroffen wurde, verhinderte nach eigener Aussage seinen frühen Tod. Dabei brach er sich sämtliche Knochen beider Beine und fiel für zwei Wochen in ein Koma. Zu dem Zeitpunkt war unklar, ob DeVine jemals wieder laufen könnte. Über die folgenden Jahre hinweg hatte er 25 Operationen. Humor half dem späteren Schauspieler mit der Situation umzugehen.

Familie
2019 verlobte sich DeVine mit Schauspielkollegin Chloe Bridges, die er 2014 am Set von The Final Girls kennengelernt hat. Im Dezember 2021 heirateten die beiden.

The Independent Voter Project (IVP) is a 501(c)(4) United States nonprofit organization. It launched in 2006 with a $1 million grant from John Moores. IVP seeks to re-engage nonpartisan voters and promote nonpartisan election reform through initiatives, litigation, and voter education.

The Independent Voter Project has a 501(c)(3) sister organization called the Foundation for Independent Voter Education (FIVE).

All IVP Board Members serve as volunteers. IVP and FIVE are co-publishers of IVN.us, an open news site that caters to independent voters and focuses on election reform issues.

IVP was founded by former California State Senator and Assemblymember Steve Peace, a registered Democrat, former California Assemblymember Jeff Marston, a Republican, and Dan Howle. Howle and Marston are the current co-chairs. Peace is no longer a board member but is still a financial contributor.

Activities
IVP is best known for authoring California's nonpartisan blanket primary (top-two primary), which was enacted through Proposition 14 in 2010. Along with other political reforms, the top-two primary was credited with easing gridlock in state government.  IVP authored Measure K to bring top-two elections to the city of San Diego; the measure passed in November 2016.

In 2014, IVP was one of a group of plaintiffs (including IndependentVoting.org and seven individual plaintiffs who were unaffiliated with either major political party) who filed a complaint in federal court alleging that New Jersey's current closed primary election process violated the federal and state constitutions. The plaintiffs specifically claimed that closed primaries violated their First Amendment right not to associate with a political party, and also claimed that the state constitution barred the state government from allocating money for the administration of primary elections. The IVP was unsuccessful; the complaint was dismissed in 2014 by the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, and in 2015 this decision was affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

In 2016 and 2017, the IVP filed two amicus briefs in support of the plaintiffs in the case Level the Playing Field, et al. v. Federal Election Commission. The plaintiffs (the Green Party, Libertarian Party, and others) allege that the Federal Election Commission violated the Administrative Procedure Act in dismissing two administrative complaints regarding the Commission on Presidential Debates and "in denying a petition to engage in rulemaking to change the FEC's regulations regarding debate staging organizations."

I've been on an intellectual consistency kick for the last little while, because that's just the sort of wild and crazy fellow I am. Especially since the US election a couple of days ago, where it looked like Obama might not win the popular vote, which had me wondering how many folks who preached about the importance of the popular vote during the Bush administration would hold the same line when it was their candidate's legitimacy being questioned. It's easy to argue something when it helps your guy, and much harder to hold on to that belief when it'll hurt you.
So here's a test case: Imagine a president–a Republican president–who brings the US into what many feel is an illegal war of aggression. He uses this war to amass unprecedented power into the executive branch, and to pass legislation that may be unconstitutional under the auspices of war measures, reaching into areas that were technically the domain of the individual states. Knowing that once the war ends his legislation likely won't hold up to judicial scrutiny, he attempts to modify the constitution. To get the necessary votes in congress, he's been bribing Democrats with cushy government jobs once their terms end, while also falsely claiming that the amendment is necessary to put an end to the war. He knows it isn't, though, because he's aware of a sincere offer for peace negotiations, but is intentionally delaying those talks in order to get his amendment through.
Again, he is intentionally prolonging a war for his own political ends. The question is, how much does it matter what those ends are? Are those tactics inherently wrong, or are they just political tools that sometimes have to be used?
Because, at least in Spielberg's new Lincoln biopic, those are exactly the tactics the great emancipator uses to get the 13th amendment to pass. It's hard to think of a more positive end than the abolition of slavery, and it's easy to buy into the argument that the practice would have continued for decades at the very least if Lincoln hadn't been, well, flexible when it came to the democratic process. But delaying the end of the war by even a few days when it was killing, on average, 3,000 Americans every week is essentially allowing a 9/11-level death toll for the sake of politics. Is that justifiable?
It's been a long while since I read Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine, but if I'm remembering correctly, her argument is essentially that governments will take advantage of extreme situations such as wars and natural disasters to push through extreme measures that they know would never pass in peace time, relying on the people's fears to keep them from realizing the extent of what's going on. Spielberg's film establishes early on that this is exactly what's happening, with Lincoln's secretary of state interviewing an ordinary citizen who only supports the end of slavery because her president has told her that it is necessary to end the war. It follows Klein's method to a tee.
Those methods are easiest to criticize when they bring about results are obviously negative–concentrating wealth and power, dismantling civil liberties–but the real test of one's beliefs comes when those same methods are used for what seems like a positive end. Very few people believe their goals are evil, after all. So how willing are you to say that the ends justify the means?
PS – If you're wondering how the movie is, it's a bit dry in parts and heavy on exposition, particularly in the opening sequences, but Daniel Day-Lewis is fantastic and Tommy Lee Jones is even better–expect an Oscar nomination for Day-Lewis and probably a win for Jones. It's thoughtful, beautifully shot and builds to a satisfying climax, and it's interesting seeing Lincoln as a lanky nerd prone to tangential stories and weird references that clearly irritate his advisers. So, entirely worth seeing. But if you're looking for excitement this weekend, I'm guessing Skyfall gives more bang for your buck.
