A Brief History of the Guy Fawkes Mask
BY Monika Nickelsburg ,
BY The Week
Over the past decade, dissidents across the globe have appropriated the visage of Guy Fawkes, the infamous insurgent who tried to blow up the British Parliament in 1605, warping the once-reviled fringe rebel into a widespread symbol of resistance.
The iconic version of the Guy Fawkes mask owes its popularity to the graphic novel and film V for Vendetta, which centers on a vigilante's efforts to destroy an authoritarian government in a dystopian future United Kingdom. Although he didn't predict the mask's role in popular protest, David Lloyd, the artist who illustrated the comic, told The New York Times, "It's a great symbol of protest for anyone who sees tyranny."
Before V for Vendetta (which was published in serial form throughout the 1980s before being made into a 2005 film), Guy Fawkes costumes and effigies were only popular in the U.K. on Halloween and Guy Fawkes Day, a November 5 celebration that, by the 20th century, had been largely divorced from Fawkes' violent plot.
But as you've likely noticed, over the past few years the stylized mask has evolved into a global symbol of dissent, employed by everyone from shadowy computer hackers to Turkish airline workers. And although the masks are often used in anti-establishment demonstrations, one of the largest media corporations in the country gains the most from the masks' rising popularity. Time Warner owns the rights to the image, and at over 100,000 masks made each year, it is by far the company's best-selling facial costume.
Here, a brief history of the mask's unlikely rise:
The hacktivist collective Anonymous popularized these masks in 2008 when it launched Project Chanology, a movement targeting the Church of Scientology after the church tried to censor an interview with Tom Cruise on the web. Members of the collective agreed to come out from behind their computer screens to protest the Church of Scientology, but needed a way to conceal their identities. The Guy Fawkes mask was their chosen disguise. Although the collective has never officially stated the reasoning behind this choice, it's likely an homage to an eerie scene in V for Vendetta in which a group of masked protesters marches on the British Parliament. When asked why the mask was selected, one protester told The Boston Globe, "I can't say, not having contact with the inner circle—wherever they are—but I can say the image of people marching towards Parliament in the spirit of protest, that wall of masks, had a certain resonance amongst those who held negative feelings about organizations such as Scientology but also towards the government." The project grew into a national movement with demonstrations in Florida, Michigan, Boston, and Los Angeles. Since then, the masks have become a go-to symbol of the collective and anti-establishment movements worldwide.
After Anonymous' first major political demonstration in 2008, the collective began cleverly aligning itself with a variety of anti-establishment movements from Occupy Wall Street to the Arab Spring. It is, in part, due to these loose affiliations that the adopted emblem of one movement evolved into a global symbol of resistance.
The Occupy Movement, born out of the Zuccotti Park-based Occupy Wall Street, adopted the mask in 2011. On Guy Fawkes Day that year, a Facebook invitation urged "all OCCUPY protesters of the world to come together on November 5th to rally again for our efforts to end corruption and social injustice." From that point on, the symbolism of the mask evolved concurrently with the movement.
It's logical that OWS would appropriate the disguise of the faceless anti-establishment crusader from Lloyd's franchise. Still, the mask doesn't carry such weight for everyone who dons it. Sid Hiltunen, an unemployed stockbroker who joined the OWS movement, told The New York Times, "If you want to show your support but are afraid you'll lose your job, just wear a mask—any mask."
Protesters around the world were spotted wearing the anti-authoritarian vigilante's trademark disguise. Even Julian Assange, the man behind WikiLeaks, wore one to an Occupy rally in London.
PROTESTS IN THAILAND
This summer, another anti-government movement embraced the Guy Fawkes mask. In Thailand, protesters wore them in demonstrations against the so-called puppet administration controlled by an exiled ex-prime minister. This isn't the first time the mask has surfaced in Thailand. In 2011 a small band of protesters in Bangkok donned them the same day the "Anonymous Thailand" Facebook page launched. The masks and leaderless nature of the demonstrations are reminiscent of the global Occupy movement and the anti-establishment Anonymous message.
TURKISH AIRLINES WORKERS
In a contemporaneous movement, Turkish Airlines employees have adopted the masks to fight for their rights as workers.
The mask also played a role in the Arab Spring movements of 2011, and photos of masked protesters in Egypt also emerged this fall. The Guy Fawkes mask has become so incendiary that several Middle Eastern countries are prohibiting its import and sale. The Saudi Ministry of Interior did just that on May 30, claiming the mask "instills a culture of violence and extremism." The measure was expanded several days later to include the destruction of all masks currently in Saudi stores. In February the government in Bahrain also banned the masks.
THE NSA LEAKER'S GIRLFRIEND
The voyeuristic media coverage surrounding NSA leaker Edward Snowden's alleged girlfriend, Lindsay Mills, includes some undeniably frivolous content, but one aspect of the story is pertinent. At one point, Snowden uploaded a photo of a woman (presumably Mills) wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. As a symbol of anti-government resistance and the unofficial emblem of a pro-transparency hacktivist collective, this mask may be the most relevant piece of information surrounding her.
The unlikely proliferation of the Guy Fawkes mask in popular protest came as a welcome surprise to its creator. Alan Moore, author of V for Vendetta, told The Guardian, "I suppose when I was writing V for Vendetta, I would in my secret heart of hearts have thought: Wouldn't it be great if these ideas actually made an impact? So when you start to see that idle fantasy intrude on the regular world … It's peculiar. It feels like a character I created 30 years ago has somehow escaped the realm of fiction."

100 Years Later: 50 Facts About Prohibition
BY Scott Beggs
(Updated: January 17, 2020)

For 13 years, the United States had a constitutional ban on booze. By 1920, the chorus of citizens who didn't want the "corrupting" effects of alcohol ruining society had grown loud enough that the government acted to shut down booze-based business—and on January 17, 1920, Prohibition in the U.S. officially went into effect. The 18th Amendment to the Constitution prohibited the "manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors."
Try considering what life might be like without a local pub or easy access to bottles of wine while you read these 50 not-at-all-dry facts about Prohibition.
1. Prohibition's roots are as old as the colonies.

Distilled spirits were the first domestic product to be taxed by the nascent federal government, led by President George Washington, as a way to raise a significant amount of money from a popular luxury item. The tax also found support with social reformers, who hoped this "sin tax" would stop people from drinking as much.
2. Early Americans protested prohibition back then, too.
Farmers and distillers refusing to pay the tax led to the Whiskey Rebellion, which saw armed resistance challenge Washington's militia. The resistance ultimately fell apart, and two men were convicted of treason. (Washington later pardoned them.)
3. Maine got an early start on prohibition.
The first state to outlaw alcohol was Maine, which passed its law in 1851 thanks largely to the local Temperance movement leader and Quaker mayor of Portland, Neal Dow. After four years under the law, a mob of 3000 stormed city hall in 1855 when "[t]he city's Irish working-class residents found out their teetotaling, saloon-raiding mayor was storing $1600 worth of liquor at City Hall," according to Smithsonian.com. Oops.
4. Kansas prohibited alcohol in its constitution.
Maine's prohibition test led to several other states adopting similar laws, but Kansas was the first to have a constitutional ban on alcohol manufacturing and sales. Voters passed the amendment in November 1880, and their state legislature made manufacturing alcohol a misdemeanor shortly after.
5. The Supreme Court once called alcohol "evil."
Peter Mugler set up a brewery in Kansas in 1877, and the constitutional ban made his business worthless. So when he was indicted on charges of violating the new ban, he appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court ... where he lost. In the 8-1 decision, Associate Justice John Marshall Harlan wrote that the court had to consider the social deterioration caused by alcohol and that "idleness, disorder, pauperism, and crime existing in the country are, in some degree at least, traceable to this evil."
6. Prohibition had a trial run during WWI.
Americans got a taste of prohibition when the Wartime Prohibition Act passed and took effect June 30, 1919. The idea behind the act was to preserve grain for the war effort.
7. The Prohibition Party mascot was a camel.

Republicans have the elephant. Democrats have the donkey. The Prohibition Party had the camel, a perfect symbol for not drinking.
8. Economists were in favor of Prohibition.
Many economists, including the former president of the American Economic Association, Dr. Irving Fisher, thought prohibiting alcohol would have a positive effect on the nation's economy. One major target was "Blue Monday," the wasted day of productivity following a Sunday of heavy drinking.
9. Prohibition was entangled with nativism and anti-immigrant sentiments.
While alcohol was the main enemy, communities that favored alcohol (like Catholic immigrant groups) also came under fire. Nativist rhetoric was used alongside anti-alcohol arguments that railed against alcohol as an agent of social corrosion, and at least one national Prohibition figure, Bishop James Cannon, openly used anti-Catholic language.
10. Income tax partially made prohibition possible.
Congress generally refused to consider prohibition because taxing alcohol was so lucrative. But after the income tax was established in 1913, representing two-thirds of the taxes the federal government took in by 1920, the fiscal incentive for denying prohibition was almost completely wiped out, paving the way for genuine consideration of the ban.
11. Some people believed alcohol turned your blood to water.
Odd beliefs and misinformation were common while Prohibitionists fought to get the law on the books. One belief was that your blood would become water if you drank, a notion popularized by the "Department of Scientific Temperance Instruction." But it's not the only such strange belief.
12. Prohibition rebooted the KKK.
Topical Press Agency, Getty Images
Because of the connection between Prohibition and anti-immigrant sentiment, the then-diminished Ku Klux Klan used the 18th Amendment and its social backers as a means of resurgence. The racist organization recruited from Protestant Prohibition groups and provided foot soldiers for raids where law enforcement lacked funds and people.
13. Anti-German sentiment gave prohibition a boost during WWI.
With its connection to nativism and anti-immigrant sentiment, the Prohibition movement got a big boost when the United States entered WWI against Germany. Since German Americans ran a majority of the breweries, dry activists argued that buying alcohol was akin to supporting the enemy.
14. President Wilson vetoed the Volstead Act.
While the 18th Amendment made Prohibition the law of the land, the Volstead Act defined what "intoxicating liquors" were and set the parameters for enforcing the new rule. Although publicly agnostic on the wet vs. dry issue, President Wilson vetoed the bill and declared that "personal habits and customs of large numbers of our people" should be legislated with greater caution. However, Congress overrode his veto.
15. Anti-alcohol groups claimed wine was made with cockroaches.
Dry pastor T. P. Hunt warned people off Madeira wine by saying it was "common practice" to make it with a bag of cockroaches.
16. Prohibition supporters also claimed your brain could catch fire …
Prohibition fan George McCandlish said that he'd seen a dead man's brain burst into flame when doctors tested it for alcohol with a lit match.
17. … And that your liver would grow to be 25 pounds.
Drinking does damage the liver, no doubt, but Prohibitionists exaggerated its effect in a bizarre direction when claiming the organ (which is normally about three pounds) could swell up to as much as 25 pounds while drinking.
18. Prohibition proponents also claimed that second-hand alcohol smelling would hurt unborn children.
Alfred Ploetz was a German who moved to Massachusetts in 1890 and wrote in The Influence of Alcohol Upon Race that pregnant women who merely smelled alcohol risked giving birth to deformed babies. He later moved back to Germany and joined the Nazi party as a prominent eugenicist.
19. Prohibition helped women get the vote.
Topical Press Agency/Getty Images
Women were major leaders of the temperance movement, arguing that alcohol made men waste money, become violent, and destroy families. Frances Willard of the Women's Christian Temperance Union called the movement a "war of mothers and daughters, sisters, and wives." Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton also created the Women's State Temperance Society. In nationalizing a cause women cared about, Prohibitionists saw their success as working hand-in-hand with progress toward allowing women to vote. They managed to succeed without that, but the 19th Amendment, which granted women's suffrage, was ratified only seven months after the 18th.
20. The 18th Amendment didn't actually make drinking alcohol illegal.
As you can tell by the prohibitive language on manufacturing, selling, and transporting, the 18th Amendment didn't outlaw drinking hooch per se. There was just a lot less of it to go around.
21. There were 1520 federal agents focused on battling booze.
The Department of the Treasury and the Coast Guard were responsible for enforcing Prohibition, and 1520 agents—many with little training—combated breweries, home operations, and smugglers on land and sea.
22. Doctors had a medical loophole during Prohibition.
Medical professionals lobbied to prescribe alcohol for medicinal purposes while the drug was illegal. Thousands of doctors and pharmacists got official licenses and created a lucrative side gig. Still, there were limits on how much a patient could get: A pint every 10 days.
23. Clergy could also serve sacramental wine during Prohibition.
In 1922, IRS head and main Prohibition regulator David Blair lifted the ban on wine for religious use. It's likely that most local officials let churches use wine even before then.
24. The British refused to help crack down on illegal smuggling.
During Prohibition, British-run Nassau in the Bahamas became a smuggling hub, so the American government repeatedly asked the British government to help shut it down. They did not—probably because alcohol imports to the Bahamas jumped from 5000 quarts to 10 million between 1917 and 1922, and the government collected tariffs on all of it.
25. Winston Churchill had a doctor's note for alcohol so he could drink in America during Prohibition.

Prescriptions for medicinal alcohol were a luxury, and there was that pesky cap on how much you could get—unless you were Winston Churchill. Not only was his prescription for an "indefinite" amount of alcohol, the doctor put a minimum limit of 250 cubic centimeters (a little more than 8 ounces) on it.
26. Breweries started making ice cream and pottery during Prohibition.
While the church helped keep the wine industry afloat, beer brewers had to transition to survive. The equipment, right down to the refrigerated trucks, made ice cream a lucrative change for Anheuser-Busch and Yuengling, and Coors built and expanded their bottling company to make pottery and ceramic tubing for the military.
27. They also made beer without the alcohol.
It probably can't technically be called beer, but Anheuser-Busch also predicted Prohibition passing and launched a cereal-based, non-alcoholic drink called Bevo in 1916.
28. Anheuser-Busch had beer ready when prohibition ended.
In another sign of the company's forward-thinking, Anheuser-Busch got approval from the government to brew 55,000 barrels of beer in anticipation of Prohibition's end, which is why people could raise their glasses when they heard the law was dead.
29. People bought bread-making ingredients to make beer at home.
Sorry, homebrewers: During Prohibition, it was illegal to make beer at home. Fortunately, breweries also shifted to selling malt extract to the public as a baking additive that no one actually used to bake with. One newspaper reckoned that enough malt extract was sold in an Ohio town each week to make 16 loaves for every person who lived there.
30. You could also buy a brick of grapes during Prohibition.
In a similar pivot, winemakers began selling bricks of dried grape juice that came with a warning label with explicit instructions on how not to let it soak and ferment into delicious wine.
31. Prohibition encouraged the Waldorf-Astoria to create the modern kids' menu.
Oases of adult fun, hotel restaurants used to keep children out, but with the threat of losing money during Prohibition, the famous Waldorf-Astoria in New York turned to the youth market with a special menu featuring Little Jack Horner and broiled lamb chops.
32. Medicinal booze really helped Walgreen's.
The burgeoning pharmacy credits milkshakes, but selling booze when it was illegal arguably helped Walgreen's expand from 20 stores to 525 in the 1920s.
33. Men and women started drinking together during Prohibition.
Before Prohibition, men and women were largely separated socially. The pub was a men-only domain. Once alcohol became illegal, speakeasies that were already breaking the law saw no real need to discriminate who they sold to, so women joined in the fun. Over time, men and women drinking and listening to music together in a crowded, sweaty room became the norm.
34. Prohibition gave birth to NASCAR.
PICSUNV/iStock via Getty Images
The connection between illegal hooch and the sport of driving incredibly fast is a pretty obvious one: Moonshiners transported their illicit wares in the fastest cars they could build to evade police. Since driving fast is fun, people kept doing it even without cops on their tail, and by 1947, NASCAR was founded.
35. Brand-name booze became a big deal during Prohibition.
Moonshine was cheap, but it could blind you. Or kill you. So, if you had the money, you'd order something with a familiar name and a comforting label. Foreign liquor manufactures created brands specifically for the U.S. market to capitalize on the consumer desire to not be killed by unregulated hooch.
36. There was an explosion of slang during Prohibition.
Bathtub gin. Juice joint. Whale. Blotto. A lot of words sprung from the collective imagination while hooch-makers served white lightning to booze hounds on the sly.
37. Enforcement during Prohibition was tragically uneven.
While Congress and the president kept drinking, and the wealthy got by with pricey "medicinal" alcohol from pharmacies, police enforced the law to dramatic effect among urban immigrant and African American communities.
38. There was a lot of hooch at the White House.
Prohibition, schmohibition. President Warren Harding (who voted for the Volstead Act as a senator) kept a fully stocked bar in the White House and had frequent poker nights where everyone drank whiskey.
39. Congressmen kept drinking and had their own supplier.
Bootlegger George Cassiday brought bottles of alcohol to Congressional buildings in a briefcase, making an average of 25 trips a day. He became widely known as "The Man in the Green Hat" when he was arrested while wearing, ahem, a green hat, and banned from entering the Cannon House Office Building (so he switched to the Russell Building). Capitol Police largely let him go through unchecked, but the Prohibition Bureau initiated a sting operation that sent Cassiday to prison for 18 months.
40. George Cassiday estimated that 80 percent of congressmen drank illegally.

The bootlegger wrote articles for The Washington Post and claimed that 80 percent of Congress broke their own law during Prohibition. Apparently, they also left bottles lying all over the place.
41. Prohibition turned public sentiment around on tipping.
Before Prohibition, the public looked down on tipping as an outdated specter of the aristocracy. But with alcohol sales disappearing overnight, a lot of businesses suffered, so they cut corners by not paying servers as much—and encouraged customers to tip servers to make up the difference.
42. Drinking went down during Prohibition.
In the earliest days of the Volstead Act's implementation, alcohol use dropped to 30 percent of pre-Prohibition levels. It jumped back up while the 18th Amendment was still in place, but only to 60 to 70 percent of the original level.
43. Ending Prohibition took doing what had never been done.
In the United States, there are two methods of ratifying amendments to the Constitution: One is sending the amendment to state legislatures; the second is sending it to state ratifying conventions. The second method had never been used before the 21st Amendment repealed the 18th, and it hasn't been used again since. On December 5, 1933, Utah became the 36th state to approve the repeal of Prohibition, making the amendment official. Maine passed it the following day, and Montana, purely symbolically, passed it the following August.
44. Two states rejected the repeal of Prohibition outright.
Both South Carolina and North Carolina did not ratify the 21st Amendment. Even more drastically, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Oklahoma didn't even call a convention.
45. FDR drank a martini to mark the end of Prohibition.
Prohibition lasted for 13 years, and when Utah put repeal proponents over the mark, President Franklin Roosevelt celebrated with a martini and said, "What America needs now is a drink."
46. Some states stayed dry after Prohibition was repealed.
As you might guess from the states who refused to even consider the 21st Amendment, not everyone was happy about going back to imbibing. Kansas, for example, prohibited alcohol until 1948. In Kansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee, counties have to opt-in to legalizing alcohol. About 18 million American now live in "dry" areas.
47. The black market made $3 billion per year during Prohibition.

Prohibition Commissioner Dr. James Doran estimated in a 1930 interview that the illicit alcohol industry pulled in $3 billion a year, with 25 million gallons of booze a year coming from "distillation in large, hidden stills." That's $45 billion in today's money considering inflation. It also cost the government $11 billion in lost tax revenue and more than $300 million to enforce.
48. Seventy percent of Americans now drink.
Despite Prohibition, Americans never fell out of love with alcohol. According to the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, about 70 percent of Americans over the age of 18 had consumed alcohol in the past year. More than half reported having a drink within the past month.
49. Almost one-fifth of Americans think drinking is morally wrong.
According to a 2019 Gallup poll, 19 percent of Americans said drinking alcohol was morally wrong, and a 2014 CNN poll [PDF] found that 18 percent believed alcohol shouldn't be legal. So it may not be a surprise that ...
50. The Prohibition Party still exists.
Their platform is still rooted in Christianity and supports assisting vineyard operators to switch their crops.

When Mississippi Once Banned Sesame Street
BY Jake Rossen
Children's Television Workshop/Courtesy of Getty Images
Since it began airing in the fall of 1969, Sesame Street has become an indelible part of millions of children's formative years. Using a cast of colorful characters like Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, and Oscar the Grouch, along with a curriculum vetted by Sesame Workshop's child psychologists and other experts, the series is able to impart life lessons and illustrate educational tools that a viewer can use throughout their adolescence. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone—even Oscar—who would take issue with the show's approach or its mission statement.
Yet that's exactly what happened in early 1970, when a board of educational consultants in Mississippi gathered, polled one another, and decided that Sesame Street was too controversial for television.
The series had only been on the air for a few months when the newly formed Mississippi Authority for Educational Television (also known as the State Commission for Educational Television) held a regularly scheduled meeting in January 1970. The board had been created by the state legislature with appointees named by Governor John Bell Williams to evaluate shows that were set to air on the state's Educational Television, or ETV, station. The five-member panel consisted of educators and private citizens, including a teacher and a principal, and was headed up by James McKay, a banker in Jackson, Mississippi.
McKay's presence was notable for the fact that his father-in-law, Allen Thompson, had just retired after spending 20 years as mayor of Jackson. Highly resistant to integration in the city during his tenure in office, Thompson was also the founder of Freedom of Choice in the United States, or FOCUS, an activist group that promoted what they dubbed "freedom of choice" in public schools—a thinly veiled reference to segregation. Mississippi, long the most incendiary state in the nation when it came to civil rights, was still struggling with the racial tension of the 1960s. Systemic racism was an issue.
Entering this climate was Sesame Street, the show pioneered by Joan Ganz Cooney, a former journalist and television producer who became the executive director of the Children's Television Workshop. On the series, the human cast was integrated, with black performers Matt Robinson and Loretta Long as Gordon and Susan, respectively, appearing alongside white actors Jada Rowland and Bob McGrath. The children of Sesame Street were also ethnically diverse.

This appeared to be too much for the Authority, which discussed how lawmakers with control over ETV's budget—which had just been set at $5,367,441—might find the mixed-race assembly offensive. The panel's participants were all white.
The board pushed the discussion aside until April 17, 1970, when they took an informal poll and decided, by a margin of three votes against two, to prohibit ETV from airing Sesame Street—a show that came free of charge to all public television stations. (The decision affected mainly viewers in and around Jackson, as the station had not yet expanded across the state and was not expected to do so until the fall of 1970.)
The members who were outvoted were plainly unhappy with the outcome and leaked the decision to The New York Times, which published a notice of the prohibition days later along with a quote from one of the board members.
"Some of the members of the commission were very much opposed to showing the series because it uses a highly integrated cast of children," the person, who did not wish to be named, said. "Mainly the commission members felt that Mississippi was not yet ready for it."
The reaction to such a transparent concession to racism was swift and predictably negative, both in and out of Mississippi. Board members who spoke with press, usually anonymously, claimed the decision was a simple "postponing" of the show, not an outright ban. The fear, they said, was that legislators who viewed ETV as having progressive values might shut down the project before it had a chance to get off the ground. It was still possible for opponents to suffocate it before it became part of the fabric of the state's television offerings.
The concern was not entirely without merit. State representative Tullius Brady of Brookhaven said that ETV exerted "a subtle influence" on the minds of children and that the Ford Foundation, which funded educational programming, could use its influence for "evil purposes." Other lawmakers had previously argued against shows that promoted integration.
Slaven Vlasic, Getty Images
Regardless of how the decision was justified, many took issue with it. In an anonymous editorial for the Delta Democrat-Times, a critic wrote:
"But Mississippi's ETV commission won't be showing it for the time being because of one fatal defect, as measured by Mississippi's political leadership. Sesame Street is integrated. Some of its leading cast members are black, including the man who does much of the overt 'teaching.' The neighborhood of the 'street' is a mixed one. And all that, of course, goes against the Mississippi grain."
Joan Ganz Cooney called the decision a "tragedy" for young people.
Fortunately, it was a tragedy with a short shelf life. The following month, the board reconvened and reversed its own informal poll result, approving of Sesame Street and agreeing that ETV could air it as soon as they received tapes of the program. Thanks to feeds from Memphis, New Orleans, and Alabama, Sesame Street could already be seen in parts of Mississippi. And thanks to the deluge of negative responses, it seemed pointless to try to placate politicians who still favored segregation.
In the fall of 1970, the Sesame Street cast appeared in person in Jackson and was met by representatives from the board, which helped to sponsor the live performance, though it's not clear any apology was forthcoming.
Sesame Street would go on to win numerous awards and accolades over the proceeding 50 years, though it would not be the only children's show to experience censorship on public television. In May 2019, ETV networks in Alabama and Arkansas refused to air an episode of the PBS animated series Arthur in which a rat and aardvark are depicted as a same-sex couple getting married.

USA insulting world's intelligence
May 10, 2014 November 24, 2017 Kevin Barrett
Uncle Sam wants YOU to believe his BS "They must really think we're stupid." That is what people all over the world are saying about the American government and media's portrayal of world events. Several weeks ago, an interviewer said to Russian President Putin: "NATO claims the missile shield was not built against you but against Iran." Putin broke out laughing… Full article: http://presstv.com/detail/2014/05/10/362023/usa-insulting-worlds-intelligence/

Coming soon: RT appearance, Sandy Hook investigation, Richard Cottrell interview?
Coming soon: On Thursday I'll be discussing the Odessa Massacre on Russia Today's "Cross Talk" show at 10 a.m. Eastern. Then on Friday, Dave McGowan will discuss rock n' roll meets mind control on my radio show, and Jim Fetzer will phone in with a report from an on-site investigation in Sandy Hook. One of these days I hope to interview Richard Cottrell, author of the magisterial Gladio: NATO's Dagger at the Heart of Europe.

Q: Python 2,3 Convert Integer to "bytes" Cleanly The shortest ways I have found are:
n = 5

# Python 2.
s = str(n)
i = int(s)

# Python 3.
s = bytes(str(n), "ascii")
i = int(s)

I am particularly concerned with two factors: readability and portability.  The second method, for Python 3, is ugly.  However, I think it may be backwards compatible.
Is there a shorter, cleaner way that I have missed?  I currently make a lambda expression to fix it with a new function, but maybe that's unnecessary.

A: In Python 3.x, you can convert an integer value (including large ones, which the other answers don't allow for) into a series of bytes like this:
import math

x = 0x1234
number_of_bytes = int(math.ceil(x.bit_length() / 8))

x_bytes = x.to_bytes(number_of_bytes, byteorder='big')

x_int = int.from_bytes(x_bytes, byteorder='big')
x == x_int

A: from int to byte:
bytes_string = int_v.to_bytes( lenth, endian )

where the lenth is 1/2/3/4...., and endian could be 'big' or 'little'
form bytes to int:
data_list = list( bytes );

A: Answer 1:
To convert a string to a sequence of bytes in either Python 2 or Python 3, you use the string's encode method. If you don't supply an encoding parameter 'ascii' is used, which will always be good enough for numeric digits.
s = str(n).encode()

*

*Python 2: http://ideone.com/Y05zVY

*Python 3: http://ideone.com/XqFyOj
In Python 2 str(n) already produces bytes; the encode will do a double conversion as this string is implicitly converted to Unicode and back again to bytes. It's unnecessary work, but it's harmless and is completely compatible with Python 3.

Answer 2:
Above is the answer to the question that was actually asked, which was to produce a string of ASCII bytes in human-readable form. But since people keep coming here trying to get the answer to a different question, I'll answer that question too. If you want to convert 10 to b'10' use the answer above, but if you want to convert 10 to b'\x0a\x00\x00\x00' then keep reading.
The struct module was specifically provided for converting between various types and their binary representation as a sequence of bytes. The conversion from a type to bytes is done with struct.pack. There's a format parameter fmt that determines which conversion it should perform. For a 4-byte integer, that would be i for signed numbers or I for unsigned numbers. For more possibilities see the format character table, and see the byte order, size, and alignment table for options when the output is more than a single byte.
import struct
s = struct.pack('<i', 5) # b'\x05\x00\x00\x00'

A: You can use the struct's pack:
In [11]: struct.pack(">I", 1)
Out[11]: '\x00\x00\x00\x01'

The ">" is the byte-order (big-endian) and the "I" is the format character. So you can be specific if you want to do something else:
In [12]: struct.pack("<H", 1)
Out[12]: '\x01\x00'

In [13]: struct.pack("B", 1)
Out[13]: '\x01'

This works the same on both python 2 and python 3.
Note: the inverse operation (bytes to int) can be done with unpack.

A: I have found the only reliable, portable method to be
bytes(bytearray([n]))

Just bytes([n]) does not work in python 2.  Taking the scenic route through bytearray seems like the only reasonable solution.

A: Converting an int to a byte in Python 3:
    n = 5
    bytes( [n] )

>>> b'\x05'

;) guess that'll be better than messing around with strings
source: http://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#binaryseq

A: When converting from old code from python 2 you often have "%s" % number this can be converted to b"%d" % number  (b"%s" % number does not work) for python 3.
The format b"%d" % number is in addition another clean way to convert int to a binary string.
b"%d" % number

Remotely trigger a PIN reset from the Central Dashboard for machines using encryption.
Having the ability to force a user to change their PIN via a request from the Central dashboard would be useful. We've gotten a number of requests for the ability to do this from sysadmins.
This is on the backlog for a future release.
We can't control the GPO settings for the password complexity which means that if the Admin overrides password rules via central GPO settings then we can't enforce the Central Device Encryption password rules on the endpoint. However, if there are no password rules defined via GPO, the Central Device Encryption password rules will apply.
Manage BitLocker on Server platforms and also support a cost-effective decommissioning process of drives.
1. It would be really convenient. It could be done as a popup/checkbox choice if we are removing the encryption software from an endpoint (or multiple endpoints with a a set of confirmation steps for decrypting).
In an MSP environment, MSP customers often leave and MSPs want the ability to put things back into a state where they were before they got there. Another reason to add this feature .
Sophos Central Disk Encryption: Need to be able to select which partitions on Windows and Mac devices alike so that all drives are not always encrypted be default.
On Windows machines, some come from the factory woth recovery partition software. Encrypting these partitions creates a problem for using the recovery options from a post BIOS boot.
On Macs, some devices may have multiple partitions for a variety of reasons. Decrypting them is not done automatically when the primary is decrypted and requires it be a manual process.
Sophos Central - Manage Endpoint Software: Add ability to remove any/all Sophos software from a computer from the Central Management Console.
This should include just Central Encryption Components as well.
Many MSPs want the ability to remove their management for their customers and this would include all traces or a managed software solution. This is a very common request among MSPs and their automation facilities and tools that they use to manage and deploy software to customer computers.
Institutional recovery keys are most often used to have one common recovery key so that Administrators can unlock all managed encrypted systems within the whole company with that recovery key.
In case of an incorrect TPM-initialization, clients try to use the fallback protector.
It is possible to use "password" as fallback and a GPO that encrypts the machine without TPM.
In this scenario users will use a non-TPM protected machine without knowing (average users see no difference between pin an numeric-4-letter-password).
Clients should inform the user or the SO via Management Center, that Fallback Protector is used and primary Protector wasn't used at all.
In Central Device Encryption we create an alert if the TPM cannot be initialized properly and do not automatically fallback from TPM + PIN to e.g. a password protector. The automatic fallback happens only if the TPM is not enabled in the BIOS and therefore we don't know that there is a TPM existing. Nowadays almost all systems come with the TPM enabled in the BIOS.

Green Group MEP Ana Miranda visited Democratic Society Congress (DTK) co-chair Berdan Öztürk and members of the DTK Council in Amed (Diyarbakır).
After the visit, DTK co-chair Öztürk and the Ana Miranda MEP held a joint press conference.
DTK co-chair Berdan Öztürk spoke about the situation of HDP Hakkari deputy, Leyla Güven, on hunger strike for 45 days in Diyarbakır E Type Prison to demand an end to the isolation regime imposed on Abdullah Öcalan.
Öztürk underlined that Öcalan has not been able meet with anyone since 5 April 2015.
Miranda reminded of the 10 HDP politicians arrested for political reasons, together with co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş and Figen Yüksekdağ in the previous legislature.
Miranda stressed that "the Peace and Resolution Process should be reinstated".
MEP Miranda ended her remarks by saying: "The European Parliament Council watched with concern the resurgence of neo-fascism in the world. When we looked at Turkey in the report, we see the rise of a dictatorial regime.


George IV chair, around 1800.
Dimensions of George IV chair : 93,5 H x 51,5 W x 41 D cm.
This antique chair is antique reproduction furniture English style formed during the last twenty years of the 18th century. The period designation derives from the Prince Regent, who became George IV in 1820, it is based at the outset on the French classical Directoire style, but the originality of the English neoclassical style is intense.
The simplicity of this model arising from the canons of classicism is emphasised by its cross-piece and the cut of its back. The design of the whole and the discreet sculptures make it a very topical seat. We can also recognise in it the simplicity arising from the aesthetic influences that dominated Northern Europe for a century (England, Holland, the Scandinavian countries…).

One of our running commentaries in our blogs and articles we write has been about the amateur quality people have been applying to their use of rich media content on the web. One of the things that got us interested in producing audio, and later, video podcasts, was that we found a lot of content sounded like it was being produced at a college radio station, with the same novice mistakes that college broadcasters often make.
So this blog post from new PR guru David Meerman Scott hit home, and we wanted to share an example of how to think about producing your web video. As you will see in the video below, David used an inexpensive Kodak pocket video camera to capture video clips.
He shot some interviews with people about his topic (he's promoting a new book, Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead: What Every Business Can Learn from the Most Iconic Band in History). He shot what we call "b-roll," images that show scenes from a Grateful Dead tribute concert appearance by some of the original members of the band, he even got b-roll of some of them examining his book almost quizzically, and shots of himself and co-author Brian Halligan being interviewed by a local rock radio station at the concert/festival.
Telling a story in video is more than just talking into the camera. You have to show people your product or service. Video is a visual medium, and you need to think about what images you want to use to convey your message. It doesn't have to be overproduced, it doesn't have to be clever or funny, but it should be natural. Don't try to be a TV commercial. Just be you.
Be sure to listen to our 2006 podcast interview with David Meerman Scott.
On Communications: What should JetBlue do?
Many thanks for pointing to my video. I had a great time working on this and Brian and really enjoyed launching our book at Gathering of the Vibes.
I shot about 100 clips totaling about 2 hours of video over a week. That was really easy because the Kodak PlaySport I used fit into my pocket and because it was digital, I could shoot all sorts of things not knowing what (or if) it would make the final cut.
Then I looked at the clips when I got home and roughly assembled them to tell a story about what the Grateful Dead did and how businesses can use the Dead's ideas.
The resulting seven minute video took about about 13 hours to edit.


Freshmen in the College of Engineering's "Introduction to Engineering" course recently put their skills to the test by racing iPad-controlled hovercrafts they had designed and built during their first semester.
Now is the time to turn your attention to getting your home prepared to keep you warm this winter, says Mechanical Engineering Professor Steven M. Ridenour.
Nine Temple engineering students who spent the past year designing and building two experiments that were launched June 23 aboard the two-stage solid booster rocket Terrier Orion II were part of RockSat, a NASA and Colorado Space Grant Consortium program that prepares students to design payloads for space flight.
Twenty-seven Delaware Valley high school students got hands-on experience in basic concepts of electrical engineering at Temple this summer in a five-week introductory electrical engineering course taught by electrical and computer engineering Associate Professor John Helferty.

Evgraf Vladimirovič Davidov (), ruski general, * 1775, † 1823.

Bil je eden izmed pomembnejših generalov, ki so se borili med Napoleonovo invazijo na Rusijo.

Njegov portret je bil eden izmed 13, ki niso bili nikoli izdelani za Vojaško galerijo Zimskega dvorca.

Življenje
Leta 1791 je vstopil v konjenico, nato pa je bil leta 1798 kot kornet prestavljen k huzarjem. Leta 1803 je bil povišan v polkovnika.

Sodeloval je v bojih s Francozi (1805-07) in v veliki patriotski vojni; zaradi zaslug je bil leta 1813 povišan v generalmajorja in imenovan za poveljnika Lubenskega huzarskega polka.

Med bitko za Leipzig je bil hudo ranjen, tako da se je leta 1814 upokojil.

For this will please the LORD more than sacrificing cattle, more than presenting a bull with its horns and hooves.
And it shall please Jehovah more than an ox, a bullock with horns and cloven hoofs.
69:31 This - This hearty sacrifice of praise, is more grateful to God, than the most glorious legal sacrifices. Hath horns - That is both tender and mature, as it is when the horns bud forth, and the hoofs grow hard.

McQuaid and Hamilton delighted at approval for Tesco store near Banbridge
Upper Bann Alliance Party Representatives Sheila McQuaid and Harry Hamilton have welcomed news that planning permission has been granted for a Tesco store at the Bridgewater Retail Park near Banbridge.
Sheila McQuaid said: "I am absolutely delighted at this news. It brings with it the prospect of many new jobs for the area and also a very significant rates boost for Banbridge District Council and all its people.
"I am hoping for a similarly positive outcome for the ASDA planning application which will bring further similar benefits to the area, in terms of employment. This good news shows that Banbridge is a town going forward very strongly at a time when around the country and further afield the economic situation is particularly difficult. The strategic positioning of Banbridge on the North/South A1 corridor makes it a prime location for business, and this decision regarding Tesco is hopefully the first of many positive news stories about economic development in the area."
Harry Hamilton said: "The wonderful opportunities for business that the Banbridge area presents are clear to see, with strong infrastructure, easy access to ports, airports and major cities north and south of the border.
"I hope that Tesco also keeps its second store in the town centre along with this new store. I understand the concerns of traders in Banbridge town centre regarding the impact this development might have, but I am very hopeful that this new outlet will compliment the town centre.
"We have to ensure that town centre trade flourishes and continues to be a key driver of economic activity in the area."

Q: Using a named set to filter out dimensional date data I have created a set to filter out the entire date dimension to it's respective measure:

CREATE SET DatesAvailable AS  NonEmpty
  ([Date].[Hierarchy].[Day].MEMBERS, Measures.CURRENTMEMBER);

I would like for the filter to be applied automatically when using the date dimension in the cube browser.  I've tried this but it returns a error related to the LastNonEmpty aggregate.

SCOPE(
      UNION(
      MEASUREGROUPMEASURES('MeasurerpG1')
      , MEASUREGROUPMEASURES('MeasureGrp2')
      , MEASUREGROUPMEASURES('MeasureGrp3')
      ) );
[Date].[Hierarchy].[Day].MEMBERS = DatesAvailable ;

END SCOPE;

How can I apply my set to filter the date dimension?

A: I do not think you can filter which members are shown in member lists, as presumably these list are not fetched via MDX, but via metadata lookups like the MDSCHEMA_MEMBERS schema rowset. You can more or less only change values in the calculation script which are then used in MDX statements. And you can add calculated members, which do then also appear in the metadata.
The only option I see to not display certain members in general tools where you do not have control how the tool generates the list of members that it shows would be by setting permissions.


FUJIFILM Corporation (President and CEO: Shigetaka Komori; hereafter "Fujifilm") has decided to absorb its wholly-owned subsidiary Fujinon Corporation (President: Shigekazu Matsuki; hereafter "Fujinon") as of July 1, 2010. This decision was approved at the Board of Directors meeting convened today.
Fujinon has led the market segment of TV camera lenses and other optical devices since its original establishment as Fuji Photo Optical Co., Ltd. in 1944. The company has addressed broad and diversifying needs of customers through offering products based on its distinctive development and design ability, advanced manufacturing technologies and solid quality management practices. In October 2006, it became Fujifilm's wholly-owned subsidiary to reinforce partnership in business administration.
With the consolidation, Fujifilm seeks to accelerate the integration of Fujinon's optical technologies into its imaging, production and organic synthetic technologies to further expand the optical device business. At the same time, Fujifilm will strengthen the business by integrating Fujifilm's business planning and R&D functions with Fujinon's product development, manufacturing and sales functions, while also integrating overseas sales subsidiaries.
In a coincided move, Fujinon's wholly-owned subsidiaries Fujinon Mito Corporation and Fujinon Sano Corporation will be merged into one company for greater production efficiency.
Fujifilm will continue to work to expand and develop its optical device business as one of its priority business fields, delivering top-quality products and services to help enhance the quality of life for people worldwide.


As we go through our daily routine, the ordinary busy-ness of life, it is common to get caught in the mundane, the boring and even the irritating. Our minds have a natural tendency to focus on the negative and the monotonous. It is much more difficult to notice the subtle moments of day to day kindness, love and contentment. We can even get so used to this state of ignoring the subtle, little things that bring happiness that we become somewhat addicted to complaining, drama and problems, making negativity our default setting. That's an unhappy and unhealthy place to be.
Of course, if we rarely notice the good things in our life, we are placing little energy there. Our energy, attention and actions are instead flowing toward the things we don't enjoy. This increases how often these things happen in your life, which then reinforces your belief that these are the only things to focus on! Not only that, but the more you focus attention, words and actions toward something, the more your mind and emotions are involved with it. Why not place your attention, words and actions on the things you love and enjoy, more than the things you don't like?
For example, it is possible to focus on the little things that annoy us about other people. No matter how much you love someone, there will be times they irritate you or anger you. How easy it would be to only notice these irritations! To allow them to swirl in our heads! We can get stuck in playing scenes in our head about how things "should" have gone or what we wish we had said, even having arguments in our head with the other person. Doing this, your mind may begin to convince you that you are right and have been treated unfairly, reinforcing blame and victimhood. However, this will never lead to compassion, happiness, or to loving and fulfilling interactions with the other person.
Instead, we can focus our attention on the things our loved ones do that we feel good about. After all, if there weren't things we loved about them, they wouldn't be our loved ones! Instead of taking these things for granted, we can choose to take notice of them each day. Rather than keeping tally of the things that upset us, we can keep tally of the things that fill our hearts with love and appreciation for the other. If you have difficulty with this, imagine anything, now or in the past, that has made you feel good about the other person. Let this feeling settle deeply into your heart for a minute or so. Recall that feeling into your heart several times a day and radiate it into your own body, your life, the other person.
I don't mean to imply that we should falsely create loving feelings toward situations or people where none exist, or pretending we don't feel angry or hurt. If you feel a negative emotion, it is best to acknowledge and be with that emotion in a loving way, breathe through it, and allow the energy to flow through you until it passes. Treat your emotional energy kindly, like a small child who needs love. However, we don't have to offer more mental fuel to an emotional fire.
Begin noticing the things that make you feel good in life. No need to wait for grand gestures or huge events! The things that make a life are the things of everyday existence. Gather moments of appreciation as you go through your day. Notice the sunlight pouring through your window, the way the tree branches dance in the breeze, the softness of your pet's fur, the warmth in your heart when you see your family at the end of the day, the nurturing relaxation of a hot shower.
When we intentionally practice placing our attention on the small things that bring this state of subtle contentment, peace and joy, we begin to realize these things are everywhere. This fills you with a sense of peace, even if only for a moment. It is a practice, and life will sweep you back into the mundane and the busy over and over. When that happens, it can seem as if the feeling of peace and appreciation vanishes like a mist in the sunrise. But if your intention is to keep returning to the things that fill your heart with love, and cultivating that feeling of joy and gratitude, it will grow. It will be easier to recall that feeling and return to it. Doing these things can make the Reiki principles an active part of your life, rather than simply ideals to be recited.

Professor Wilson's work on health law and bioethics legal reforms stems from her work as a health law attorney at the Texas-based law firm of Fulbright & Jaworski, LLP, as well as her work on hospital ethics committees, which serve as a resource for healthcare professionals, patients, and families. She has been involved in two different law reform efforts, the first on patient dignity and informed consent—namely, requiring specific consent to do intimate exams for teaching purposes on patients—and the second on patient safety, disclosing the role and experience levels of healthcare professionals caring for patients in teaching hospitals.
In 2005, Professor Wilson partnered with Delegate Robert Bell of the Virginia House of Delegates to change Virginia's informed consent law to allow medical students in clinical training programs to perform intimate exams on female patients only after obtaining "informed consent." Va. Code Ann. § 54.1-2959.
Professor Wilson has sparked renewed attention on this continuing practice through her recent Opinion-Editorial and resulting news reports.
At the request of a fourth-year medical student in Hawaii who was asked to do pelvic exams on unconscious patients, Professor Wilson reached out to Professor Fran Miller at the University of Hawaii School of Law to assemble a team of advocates for changing Hawaii's law. The compelling testimony provided by two courageous students, together with empirical evidence in Professor Wilson's scholarship, helped the measure to succeed in 2012.
Other States have adopted laws patterned on Virginia's and Hawaii's.
In 2002, Professor Wilson was approached by Helen Haskell, whose fifteen-year-old son, Lewis Blackman, had died at the Medical University of South Carolina. Helen asked Professor Wilson to assist her to fashion a package of patient protections designed to avert tragic deaths like her son's, such as requiring health professionals to wear name tags identifying their role on the healthcare team and posting notices about how to reach an attending professional. Helen and Professor Wilson met with the Democratic Minority Leader of the South Carolina House of Representatives, Representative James Smith, who co-sponsored the bill, as well as other stakeholders in the community. Across two legislative cycles, Professor Wilson commented on draft legislation and testified in support of what ultimately became the Lewis Blackman Hospital Patient Safety Act. S.C. Code Ann. § 44-7-3410 et. seq. (Westlaw 2012).

Twins biggest winners at winter meetings
Phil Rogers
Terry Ryan has nothing against free-agent outfielder Michael Bourn. Honest.
But the general manager knows his Twins aren't going to compete again in the American League Central — Joe Mauer or no Joe Mauer — until they fix a starting rotation that in the last three years has dropped from 11th in the majors to 29th in ERA, ranking in the bottom five three of the last four years.
''We want the kind of pitchers we haven't had enough of," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "Pitchers who can miss bats."
Things looked so bleak at the end of 2012 that the Red Sox felt the time was right to try to steal .323 career hitter Mauer. They offered Ryan a chance to offload the $138 million left on the eight-year contract he received as Target Field was opening but were told no.
Ryan wasn't eager to get the Jeffrey Loria treatment from the fans who were so happy to see him come out of a short-lived retirement. He knew he had to do something and he did, trading 24-year-old outfielder Ben Revere to the Phillies and 28-year-old outfielder Denard Span to the Nationals.
In exchange, he landed three pitchers who could form the core of a rebuilt rotation by the end of next season. Vance Worley — aka the Vanimal — is expected to be ready to start the season after surgery to repair bone chips in his elbow, and Trevor May and Alex Meyer could join him later in the season. Factor in 2009 first-round pick Kyle Gibson, who seems on the threshold after a strong showing in the Arizona Fall League, and the college arm that the Twins are almost certain to take with the fourth overall pick next June (Mark Appel, Ryne Stanek or Sean Manaea) and the Twins will have a rotation they hope they can contend behind.
Ryan traded Span to the Nationals for the 6-foot-9 Meyer on Nov. 29 and sent Revere to the Phillies on Thursday, just before teams headed home from the winter meetings in Nashville, Tenn.
As it turns out, the Nats and the Phils were the teams most interested in Bourn, the speed-power igniter who helped the Braves win 94 games last season. They opted to sacrifice pitching for younger players with similar skills rather than meet Scott Boras' asking price for Bourn.
Is there another team willing to give Bourn $15 million a year for four or five years? Maybe, but some executives were seeing Bourn, who'll turn 30 on Dec. 27, as a candidate to sign a one-year contract. There's no question that he was the biggest loser at the winter meetings, and it says here Ryan and the Twins were the biggest winners.
In the style of Waylon and Willie, here're the other winners and losers from five days in Nashville that could have had Mumford and Sons' "Unfinished Business'' as their theme song.
Yankees, Pierzynski losers: The Yankees hit town amid the reports Alex Rodriguez would need hip surgery, exacerbating roster problems that include Derek Jeter's recovery from ankle surgery and the loss of free agents Russell Martin, Eric Chavez and Nick Swisher, as well possibly as Rafael Soriano and Raul Ibanez.
Team President Randy Levine hasn't relaxed his stance on being below the tax threshold for the 2014 season, so Brian Cashman is left operating like a small-market GM.
A.J. Pierzynski would be a good fit, but Cashman insists he's sticking to internal catching options (Chris Stewart, Francisco Cervelli and prospect Austin Romine, whose back problems have slowed his development). Pierzynski is left hoping the Rays come rescue him.
Keppinger, White Sox winners: Jeff Keppinger is a skilled hitter who has more career walks than strikeouts. He had an .806 OPS last season for the Rays and has played for six teams in eight seasons. He can establish himself as a long-term regular after signing for three years and $12 million, a deal ESPN's Keith Law praised because "they're paying him a below-regular salary and he's better than any in-house options at third.''
The Yankees offered more, but Keppinger knew he would be squeezed out when Rodriguez returns.
Goldstein, Freiman winners: A DeKalb resident who taught himself how to scout while attending Kane County Cougars games, the chapeau-wearing Kevin Goldstein covered the 2011 Rule 5 draft for Baseball Prospectus. He was calling the shots for the Astros this time as GM Jeff Luhnow's unconventional pro scouting director.
The Astros joined the Marlins in making two picks in the major league portion, landing Nate Freiman, a power-hitting first baseman, and reliever Josh Fields. Freiman needs a strong spring to jump from Double A to Bo Porter's Astros lineup.
Angels, Wilson losers: When the Angels traded for Zack Greinke, they hoped he would want to stick around. That doesn't look like it's working out, and the Angels' rotation won't be as strong with Tommy Hanson and Joe Blanton replacing Greinke, Dan Haren and Ervin Santana.
There's a lot of heat on GM Jerry Dipoto to land Anibal Sanchez now because C.J. Wilson has shown he's more comfortable in a wingman's role than as an ace or even No. 2 starter. The team that was the talk of baseball last winter won't finish last in the AL West next year, but that's only because the Astros are moving into the division.
Napoli, Victorino winners: Trying to contend a year after a 93-loss season, and with enormous payroll flexibility after sending Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett and Carl Crawford to the Dodgers, the Red Sox signed Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino to matching three-year, $39 million contracts even though their production dipped in 2012.

I'm trying to design a rather simple L bracket that will hold a flag. The flag is roughly 5 feet long and 2 lbs (in total weight) and will be whipping back and forth as the car accelerates and brakes. I want to simulate this so I can decide how thick/hole placement/etc. of the bracket so it has no chance of failing. How can I do a simple simulation applying a moment along a bar that is mounted in a hole? Am I going to have to use another resource or even run hand calcs?
Do you have an upper bound for the acceleration that the car could see? If so you can apply a static acceleration on the part and see the resulting stress state. Depending on material, you probably also want to run a fatigue analysis.
How would I go about applying a static acceleration? I'm not very versed on running SimulationXpress and only have experience doing very simple fixture & and force/pressure analysis on parts. And having a part where a moment will be applied (I figured I'd just calculate the maximum moment possible from the flag and apply that force to the hole) still seems a little confusing with my knowledge of SimulationXpress.
Kody, in a case like this, the moment is caused by inertia, so the force acts on the center of mass of the part. By using an acceleration rather than a force, you skip the step of having to calculate a moment and pick a location to apply the force. I don't have a ton of experience with SimulationXpress, but I'll give it a quick look and get back to you.
Looks like SimulationXpress can only do force and pressure. You are going to have to do a hand calc of F=MA with the max expected acceleration. Just remember that the inertial force always acts on the center of mass. Depending on how close to yield strength you are, a fatigue analysis may be in order as well.

Anna Becker
< Return to Stories
The confession tumbles out.
"I've ruined a few carpets," spurts Shoreland Lutheran High School senior Anna Becker as she explains that her absolute love of science and homemade experiments has caused the demise of more than one household item, a byproduct of her enthusiasm that her mother has learned to tolerate.
When did Anna first notice she has an insatiable yearning to know all she could about science and the medical field?
"Sixth grade," the 17-year-old declares without hesitation. "Definitely, sixth grade. That's when I went to a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) summer camp."
Already in her short academic life, Anna has studied the possibilities of turning her curiosity into a career. In sixth grade she had a keen interest in crime scenes and forensics. Going to summer camp solidified her determination to head toward a career in the biomedical field. By freshman year at Shoreland, and as a student in the school's STEM Academy focused on the biomedical sciences, her sights locked in on nursing. After three years in the school's chapter of Wisconsin HOSA-Future Health Professionals, Anna is contemplating becoming a surgical nurse.
And this year, Anna has been named the Vice President of Service Projects for the Wisconsin HOSA-Future Health Professionals, a state officer that will work with 81 high school chapters in Wisconsin.
'I'm not a cat': The story behind how a Texas attorney went viral in a feline filter fiasco
For a student embarking on her final year of high school, Anna certainly has not waited to determine which path to take next. One might even suspect that she had influence from a family member. But that's not the case. Her mom is in marketing and her dad is an electrician. She has no siblings. She was adopted from Russia when she was 10 months old and is an only child.
"I have no clue where it comes from," Anna says. "I've just always loved science."
What may be surprising is Anna's level of commitment to pursue her fascination. Anna applied to Shoreland Lutheran High School in Somers particularly for its Biomedical Sciences STEM track.
Shoreland is one of 143 high schools across the country to be recognized as a "Distinguished School" by Project Lead The Way (PLTW) for providing broad student access to STEM programs in biomedical science, engineering and computer science. PLTW is a nonprofit organization that serves more than 12,200 U.S. schools.
"I've been used to smaller schools, private schools," Anna says. "At Shoreland, they always talk about being a family, and I've felt that."
In fact, freshman year was a bit of a struggle. Anna says she frequented the school's "SEE Center," a program that provides staff assistance with studies before and after school, as well as during students' study halls.
But it was really the Shoreland chapter of HOSA and the encouragement of two teachers — Timothy Mielke and Sarah Selle — that spurred her to build confidence and excel, Anna says. The teachers encouraged her to participate in the schoolwide, regional and statewide competitions hosted by HOSA. She has increasingly scored well in the competitions, which include a variety of areas for students to choose, such as taking a science knowledge test, public speaking or medical writing. Her teachers prodded Anna to take it a step further and apply for a state officer position.
"It was a long process and a lot of work," Anna says, "I wrote six essays, took an hour-long test about HOSA facts, recorded a video introducing myself, recorded another speech, and then had a one-on-one virtual interview with the board."
She was selected over 15 other candidates.
Since June, Anna has been filling her new role, with recruiting more student engagement as her priority.
Of course, that is on top of working as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Brookside Care Center of Kenosha County and taking classes in the summer for college credit. Anna expects to have nine college credits, just short of a semester, in her portfolio when she graduates from high school.
As a HOSA state officer who will help engage high schoolers around the state in exploring health professions, Anna has some ready advice: "If you're thinking about biomedical jobs, start taking classes your freshman year. You get the fundamentals. I did, and now I'm taking my anatomy college test. Just try it and see. The labs are fun and make learning difficult material easier. It's good background knowledge for college if you go on for a degree."
There is no question that going on for that degree is precisely what Anna plans to do.

Serial Killers: Alexander Spesivtsev
Born: March 1, 1970
Method of murder: Stabbing
Location: Novokuznetsk, Russia
Born in the Siberian town of Novokuznetsk in 1970, Alexander Spesivtsev was raised in an abusive home. As an adult, he murdered his girlfriend and was sent to a psychiatric hospital, remaining there until 1991, when he was declared "cured" and released. He returned to Novokuznetsk, to share an apartment with his mother, Ludmilla.
In 1996, a water leakage in the Spesivtsev apartment resulted in neighbours calling a plumber. As no one was home, the plumber forced the door and entered. Moments later, he staggered out, screaming for someone to call the police.
Officers were soon on the scene. As they entered the apartment, they saw immediately what had so distressed the plumber. There was blood on the walls; bowls with pieces of human flesh in the kitchen; a mutilated, headless child's corpse in the bathtub. On a bloodstained couch lay 15-year-old Olga Galtseva, severely mutilated but still alive. She was taken to a hospital, where she died seventeen hours later. Before that, she was able to tell investigators what had happened.
Spesivtsev's mother had lured Olga and two friends to the apartment. Once inside Spesivtsev had attacked the girls, using his fierce Doberman dog to intimidate them. The girls had been raped and beaten. Spesivtsev then killed one of the girls and forced her friends to cut flesh from her body, which he gave to his mother to cook. The second girl had been killed by the Doberman and Spesivtsev was attacking Olga with a knife when the plumber began breaking down the door. He'd then jumped from a balcony and fled.
Spesivtsev and his mother were captured soon after. Under questioning he confessed to killing 19 children. He also admitted that he and his mother had been indulging in cannibalism for five years. Both Spesivtsev and his mother were sentenced to life in prison.

Q: Schaum's Differential Geometry exercise on curvature Page 72 exercise 4.5, there is the following situation:
There is a curve $\underline{x}(t)$ with $t$ not a natural parameter. I have to find the curvature vector $\underline{k}$ and the curvature $k$ in the corresponding point at $t=1$ (details of the problem below).
I've found the tangent unit vector $t=\frac{\underline{x'}}{|\underline{x'}|}$
I write the derivative of a vector $\underline{v}$ with respect to a natural parameter $s$ as $\underline{v}^{*}$
Then I know that $\underline{k}= \underline{t}^{*}$ Then on the book this continues as $\underline{k}= \underline{t}^{*} = \frac{\underline{t}'}{|\underline{x}'|}$
Why the last equality holds? It holds in general? I can't see why it holds, but I think it's quite easy.
Details of the exercise
The curve is $\underline{x}=t \underline{e_1}+ \frac{1}{2} t^2 \underline{e_2}+ \frac{1}{3} t^3 \underline{e_3}$

A: That's the chain rule: If $u$ denotes the curve parameter and $s$ the arc length parameter, then $ds/du = |x'(u)|$ is the speed, so
$$
t^{*} = \frac{dt}{ds}
  = \frac{dt}{du} \cdot \frac{du}{ds}
  = \frac{dt/du}{ds/du}
  = \frac{t'}{|x'|}.
$$
