SALISBURY — Leading 21-0 after seven minutes and 31-7 at halftime didn't guarantee anything.
Catawba's football team managed to hang on to a 31-28 homecoming victory against Tusculum, but there were way too many anxious moments on Saturday afternoon.
"Yes, it does feel good to win again," said Catawba head coach Curtis Walker, after the Indians stopped a two-game skid. "But I've been trying to calm our players down just now. We limped to the end today and that's not the way we want to do it. We made it much tougher on ourselves than it should have been."
Catawba defensive back Von Ramsey had to field an onside kick with 56 seconds left to ensure a South Atlantic Conference victory, but the Indians had the crowd roaring early.
They were close to perfect on both sides of the ball in the first quarter, forcing turnovers and then converting them into points.
"The homecoming crowd lit a fire under us at the start," Catawba quarterback Ken Avent III said. "We got off to a crazy start that made us happy. But maybe we got too happy."
Newberry and Mars Hill keyed on taking away Avent's outside runs and beat the Indians when no one else was able to step forward consistently. But freshman back Jyrea Martin was really good on Saturday, averaging 6.9 yards per carry and rushing for 159 yards. Martin normally shares the rushing load with Daniel Parker, but Parker went down early with a sprained ankle.
"We talked about 200 yards rushing always being a goal for Catawba football," Martin said. "If we're going to compete, we've got to run the ball. We got good yards on first down and stayed in good situations."
Martin's 3-yard scoring run just 58 seconds into the game gave the Indians a 7-0 lead. They flirted with disaster in the fourth quarter, but they never lost that lead.
"Our line collapsed everyone inside and I hit it outside," Martin said.
Blitzing Catawba linebacker Jeremiah Ferguson caused a fumble with a quarterback sack and Christian Campbell recovered and hauled the ball 12 yards to the Tusculum 17.
Avent threw a touchdown pass to tight end Evan Rojas two plays later for a quick 14-0 edge.
"I rolled out and Rojas was so wide open I couldn't believe it," Avent said.
Izaiah Taylor's interception set up the next Catawba score. Parker took it in from the 1 to make it 21-0 with 8:26 left in the first quarter.
With the aid of a running into the kicker penalty after Catawba had them stopped, the Pioneers scored to get back to 21-7.
But Avent connected with Kujuan Pryor, the Indians' big-play threat, for an 81-yard score with 2:19 left in the first half.
"We just drew that one up based on something Tusculum was doing," Avent said. "I just let it go and Pryor went and got it."
Avent was 9-for-20 passing for 185 yards.
D'verik Daniel's interception led to a 47-yard Clayton Crile field goal to end the half and enabled the Indians to charge to the locker room leading 31-7.
"Turnovers are so critical," Walker said. "When we won our first four games, we were plus-6 in turnovers. Then the two games we lost we were minus-5. We got back on the plus side today."
Catawba's defense had two fumble recoveries, two interceptions and seven sacks, including two by Ferguson and one by former East Rowan standout Christian Bennett.
But the second half still proved to be a tense adventure.
Tusculum's switch to a new quarterback, mobile Tre Simmons, who threw two TD passes, made things more challenging for the Indians' defense, and Catawba's offense slowed down when it faced longer fields. It was 31-14 after three quarters.
The Pioneers (4-5, 2-4) sliced Catawba's lead to 31-21 early in the fourth quarter. John Oxce had a key fourth-down stop for the Indians, but another Tusculum score in the final minute made it 31-28, and had Walker and Catawba fans sweating.
"Personal fouls, a blocked field goal, a missed field goal, a holding penalty when we've got a clear path to the end zone," Walker said. "It was a game we should have put away, but we made mistakes and we let them stay in it. We had to hang on."
Catawba has had an unusual season that included two COVID cancellations. The Indians (5-2, 2-2) have won all five home games they've played, but they lost the two road games.
"We've done a great job of creating a winning environment at home," Walker said. "But we've got to find a way to take that energy on the road."
A home game against UVA-Wise is set for next Saturday.
Walker hopes the Indians learned some lessons from homecoming that will carry forward to the next challenge.
"We know we didn't do what we needed to do in the second half," Martin said. "This could have been a blowout."

Knxwledge: Staying in 'Go' Mode
Knxwledge might be the only person on earth prepared for 2020. "Quarantine is regular over here," remarked the 32-year-old producer over a video call from his home studio. Long before staying inside was a mandate, Knxwledge was streaming it live with Earl Sweatshirt. And before livestreaming was one of the only financial outlets for musicians amidst a global pandemic, Knxwledge was playing Street Fighter and making beats for his audience on Twitch. Starting from his debut album, 2010's Klouds, Knxwledge's infectious blend of chopped loops over shuffling drums has brought him from Klipmode fame (his music collective-cum-supergroup with Suzi Analogue, MNDSGN, and Devonwho) to high-profile collaborations with Kendrick Lamar and Anderson .Paak. His sonic palette traverses everything from the gospel choirs of his youth to the street-rap scene in Philadelphia to his all-time favorite video game soundtracks, all while maintaining an unmistakable production aesthetic that uniquely and wholly belongs to him.
Like the kid who mains Sagat, Ableton Live is Knxwledge's character-of-choice in the beat-making game, and he's mastered an arsenal of creative techniques that have produced one of hip-hop's most prolific catalogs in the last decade. We chatted about his strategy in Live, the importance of keeping a laptop in as many rooms as possible, and what advice he would like to give to up-and-coming producers in 2020.
Knxwledge – Koko EP
So has the schedule changed at all for you since lockdown, or is it business as usual?
Bro, quarantine is regular over here. I don't know why people is in such a rush.
What keeps you inspired on a daily basis?
For me, I'm just in 'go' mode all day long. I mean, of course I have my off days, but I'm always going. Like, what else is there to do? I've been on it, because all the homies… I got the most competitive homies. Like Alchemist and Sam [Samiyam]. If you meet everybody, they cook crazy every day.
A lot of people admire you for the massive output of your catalog. I've got to ask – when do you sleep?
I got the wild sleeping arrangement man. It's crazy. And what's fucked up is as soon as I think I'm about to go to sleep, that's when it gets crazy. I got a damn set-up in every room. Just little set-ups – fuckin' old laptops that I've got and I can still loop shit up on them or whatever. Still got little kits on every one of 'em. A good 98% of the time, I'm in bed, and I'll just be going through some shit. And I'll end up coming right back to [my studio] and finish the shit up. I got mad laptops that I need to get rid of. They couldn't keep up with your boy.
Going into your process, you've talked in the past about the importance of digging for samples as a beat-maker. What do you look for when you dig for samples? Are you looking for music from a specific genre or era, or is it just what you happen to be listening to at the moment?
It's literally that. I'm listening to everything. I don't really discriminate. I listen to damn Glen Campbell. It don't really matter. I just grew up listening to everything and – not like being forced to listen to gospel music – but I grew up in church and playing instruments.
You can sample anything, so I'm listening to everything. I'll just grab shit from movies a lot of the time: old Blaxploitation, all kinds of shit. There's shit everywhere if you hear it. And nowadays, it's too much fun shit to work with. You can make shit so interesting with Ableton. That's my favorite part.
wegetit_, by Knxwledge.
Have you been using Live since Klouds?
I think Klouds is a mixture of Live and maybe a few Reason joints. I've tried everything honestly. Cubase, FL, all that shit. Reason. And then I got to Ableton and it was like, damn. I remember me and Ringgo [MNDSGN] figuring out how to do shit in the Clip Mode [Live's Session View]. And I literally still make beats in Clip Mode. That's why it's so fun, because you can literally make however many beats your heart desires. It's incredible.
What's your approach to drums? Do you make new kits regularly?
Nah, I've just had drums forever. All the bootleg single hits that I've made [into] Drum Racks. Drums from the homies, thank goodness. Like Karriem [Riggins]. That's kind of all you need, you know?
Do you mix and master your music in Live?
Hell yeah. It's simple to me. I love it.
Your music has a very identifiable sound. What does the mixing process look like for you?
When I first started sampling, the first kind of sample shit I had was my dad's [VHS] tapes that he brought from Jamaica with him. He also had a bunch of cassette tapes, 'cause the whips had good cassette players. So I would take those tapes and my dad – I don't know if he brought this thing or he just had it here – but it was a big ass tape player, and on the front of it, it had a damn pitch wheel. There was a volume and then there was like a pan wheel or something. And, I don't know, I always used to record. I just always loved the sound of tapes. You feel me? Who doesn't love the sound when you put a fuckin' VHS in and press play, how the sound's warped? That's just too crazy!
So there's just a bunch of UAD tape emulators. There's countless on there and then Waves plugins, they have countless too. Reel-to-reel shit, all kinds of emulators. And then just light EQs. Super light, like literally EQ Threes. That's pretty much everything. I barely use EQ Eight. I do have more [EQs] when I'm mixing, but when I'm doing samples, it's just EQ Threes. So ill. I love the built-in shit, man. That shit is my favorite. I use that shit so often – the limiters? I don't use no external limiters or none of that shit.
What's in your template Set right now?
I got a Drum Rack. I got two empty audio joints and a Simpler. That's pretty much it.
Knxwledge – "Don't Be Afraid"
You've clearly had a lot of success in your career. If you could give advice to an up-and-coming producer who's trying to find their own voice – their own sound – what would you want to say to them?
First: try Live. 2nd…
You don't have to say that!
No, no, it's just my favorite. I mean, use whatever you wanna use. Opinions are definitely just opinions, you know? Being productive and doing things because you love them is totally different. So I do this because I love it. I don't get caught up with a few tracks or projects or whatever. Personally, I've had a strong work ethic when I was young. I worked a lot when I was young. We all gotta pay to live out here, you feel me? So I just work my job like a regular job. I wouldn't be in this position to begin with if I didn't share that shit. So I'd say to just share when you're ready. Just keep being inspired and keep stacking stuff. I always used to call it stacking. I still stack beats that, eventually, I'm just over and I share. Just keep going and make sure you like it instead of worrying about anybody else.
It's like when Kanye said, "lock yourself in a room…"
Five beats a day. Hell yeah.
'Cause it's been funny times in my life where that shit has mattered. Having beats that randomly touch people, you know? I remember being on tour with Anderson [.Paak] and Thebe [Earl Sweatshirt], and going to 9th Wonder's house and we sat down to play a few things, and this fool would play shit for hours and hours. I thought to myself, "damn, what if I just didn't have all these beats? What if I just settled on, you know, a few beats that I was like, yo, these shits hard, I'm gonna just ride with these shits." But you gotta have shit. It's kinda no sugarcoating working. Everything can't be that fun, you feel me? I mean, obviously making music is fun all day long 'til you get tired or 'til your ears don't work anymore. But it depends on how much you love it. You can see how much I love it, dawg. You can see it. Go look.
To keep up with Knxwledge's relentless love of music-making, check out his Bandcamp and follow him on Twitch.

"Effective April 1, 2010, we reserve the right to require (7) days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking accounts. While we do not currently exercise this right and have not exercised it in the past, we are required by law to notify you of this change," Citigroup said on statements received by customers all over the country.
What's going on? It seems that this is something of an error. The seven day notice policy only applies to customers in Texas, Ira Stoll reports at The Future of Capitalism. It was accidentally included on customer statements nationwide.
"Whatever the explanation, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in Citi," Stoll writes. "But it's hard to believe a bank would be sending out a notice like that on its statements."
Update: Citibank has now released the following statement by way of explanation: "When Citibank moved to unlimited FDIC coverage in 2009, we had to reclassify many checking accounts to allow for immediate withdrawals in order to ensure all customers qualified for the additional coverage. When we moved back to standard FDIC coverage with most major banks in 2010, Citibank decided to reclassify those accounts back to make them eligible again for promotional incentives. To do so, Federal Reserve Reg D requires these accounts, called NOW accounts, to reserve the right to require a 7-day notice of withdrawal. We recently communicated this technical requirement to our customers. However, we have never exercised this right and have no plans to do so in the future."


Mashaallahu ta'ala that this was written, and then that I find it here on a blog I am subscribed to. I've been away in the UK for a few days and caught this on Imam Webb's website just before leaving. It was a wonderful read and I had to share it with my email brothers and sisters. Unfortunately I couldn't add it on here then. Now Mashaallah Sr. Sidra has made it easy by posting it up on hers, and I am grateful to be able to reblog this very beautiful article. I would term it essential reading!


Disclaimer: I was provided a gift voucher to use to order a selection of photo canvases in return for an honest review. The review words and opinions are my own. All photos are copyright property of Me Becoming Mum.
I am a big fan of photos, and always have been. I have spent many hours of my life taking photos and using them to make scrapbooks, photo books, albums and more. One of my favourite additions to my home, however, were the canvases I bought for John's first Father's Day with photos from Squidgy's newborn photoshoot. When Parrot Print approached me to see if I'd like to review their canvas printing service I of course had to say, "yes". Here are a few thoughts on the beautiful selection of canvases we have thanks to Parrot Print.
You can upload photos from your phone, computer and even social media.
The best part about using the Parrot Print website is that no matter where you are you will be able to order and print canvases of your favourite photos. You can choose to upload photos direct from your device or even use Facebook or Instagram to have add some special memories to your home. This means you have the chance to bring those online memories to life, rather than just saving them in a public forum.
They come in a number of different sizes and shapes.
Whether you are looking for something small, or a larger option there is something for everyone. There are small sizes like the desk canvases I ordered for my parents and John's parents, which are great and budget friendly too. You could also order a more statement pieces like the panorama photo canvas of my brother's wedding, which includes a photo of all the family that were able to attend. You can also choose a variety of shapes, from your basic square canvas (which are definitely my favourites!) or rectangle ones both in landscape and portrait.
There are canvases to suit every budget.
The canvases start at just £9.99 for the smallest which are square desk canvases. I ordered one for my parents and one for John's parents as well as a few Christmas-y (obviously!) ones for me. They come with attachments to stand them on a desk however as with any canvases you can also pop them on the wall just like I did. Alternatively if you prefer, you can also buy some of the larger canvases which are no more than £49.99, meaning there is something for everyone and every budget.
Being a company run by photographers who understand images in a personal manner, it is no surprise that the canvases are some of the best quality products I have ever ordered. The photos are printed on premium canvas and stretched across European pine framing. They are then laminated by hand using fine art satin print varnish (allowing for stronger UV protection and colour enhancement) and ensured to stay brighter for longer whilst being protected from everyday life. So even sticky fingers checking out the photos and pointing out people they know, don't cause lasting damage!
There are so many sizes and shapes available on the Parrot Print website and with Christmas just around the corner it's the perfect time to buy. The delivery is free on orders over £20 and they come in secure, protective packaging to ensure they arrive safe and ready to hang.
For more reviews of products and services we use in our lives as parents raising our two girls visit my reviews page. If you have any questions about our Parrot Print canvases which I have not covered in this post, feel free to ask in the comments section below.

MRI and CT scan tech used to nondestructively classify "new" octopus
Ordinarily, if biologists wish to confirm that an animal specimen represents a new species, they have to perform a dissection – essentially destroying it. Now, though, the task has been accomplished non-invasively, using MRI and CT scan technologies.
Scientists successfully extract insect DNA from amber – from 2014
Scientists have successfully extracted DNA from insects trapped in amber – but any creatures you might revive from this would hail from the not-so-distant past of 2014. The study aims to work backwards to find the limits of DNA preservation.
Activating brown fat receptors helps mice burn fat, build muscle
By triggering receptors on a fast-burning form of fat, researchers were able to give older mice less fat and more muscle, making them as healthy as much younger mice. And better yet, humans seem to have a similar pathway.
Parts of the universe may be expanding faster than others
One of the core components of cosmology is the understanding that the universe is expanding evenly in all directions. But new X-ray observations now suggest that this may not be the case after all – certain areas may be expanding faster than others.
High-salt diet found to hamper the immune system
Scientists at Germany's University Hospital Bonn have turned their attention to salt's impacts on the human immune system, finding that a diet too heavy on sodium chloride can "significantly weaken" our natural defenses against bacterial infections.
Inflammation linked with Alzheimer's, reduced cognition and brain fog
Several new studies are reporting evidence affirming a growing hypothesis that links inflammation with the cognitive deficits seen in bipolar disorder and Alzheimer's. It's also suggested low-grade inflammation can result in mental sluggishness.
Bizarre celestial object spotted is one of the rarest in the galaxy
The cosmos is full of strange things, like planets made of diamond, mysterious radio bursts and quasars that shine like 600 trillion Suns. Now astronomers have spotted a bizarre star that may prove to be one of the rarest objects ever, with maybe as few as five or six of them in the galaxy.
Electric fish inspires murky-water camera
Back in 2016, a scientist from Germany's University of Bonn discovered how the African elephantnose fish can switch between its visual and electrical sensory systems. Now, a team led by that same researcher has developed a camera which mimics the fish's electrical sense of "sight."
Eau de antelope saves bovine lives
While you likely already know that the tsetse fly causes sleeping sickness in people, you may not realize that it also spreads the often-lethal disease among cattle. Help is on the way, however, in the form of antelope-scented cow collars.
Old mice get brains of two-month-olds thanks to cannabis
It turns out the fountain of youth might spurt smoke instead of a magical liquid. Researchers discovered that one of the active ingredients in marijuana – THC – was able to improve the brains of elderly mice to the level that they seemed like the brains of rodents who were only two months old.
Painless light pulses, instead of harsh electric shocks, shown to restore heart rhythms
Current treatments for arrhythmia involve administering an intense burst of electricity in times of cardiac arrest, but these pulses are painful and harmful. Now scientists have found that beams of light can restore regular heart function, as a gentle and safe alternative to a harsh electric shock.
Earpiece detects and warns of epileptic seizures
A consortium headed by the University of Bonn in Germany has received financing to develop a sensor to detect and warn of epileptic seizures. The sensor can be worn like a hearing aid.

The most hedonistic woman in America?
Alice Waters has helped us to be less worried about pleasure for its own sake.
By David Thomson
Published August 24, 2001 7:03PM (EDT)
I was going to call this piece "The Sexiest Woman in America?" but there s something vulgar and simplistic about that, and since my wife, Lucy, knows that I know Alice Waters, there s no need to ask for trouble. Most important of all, it really is a profound and intelligent sense of pleasure that Alice promotes. Early on in her fascinating career she knew that food worked best as a metaphor for sex rather than the other way around.
For those of you uncertain what I m talking about, let me say that this last weekend of August 2001 Chez Panisse, a restaurant in Berkeley, Calif., celebrates its 30th birthday. In those 30 years, it has become probably the most famous and influential eating place in America. Is it also the best restaurant? I don t know, and I m never going to have the time or the blood pressure to sample all the competition. That s why "the best restaurant" is as irrelevant a concept as "the sexiest man or woman." There are a lot of both where you could have a wonderful evening. But one large reason why America has so many good restaurants now is the example set by Alice.
The name Panisse is from a character in the films of Marcel Pagnol, made in the early 1930s and set in the French countryside near Marseilles. Thus, very broadly, Alice Waters was inspired to introduce an attitude inherent in French cooking to the American scene. That meant fresh produce, grown near the restaurant by friends, and it required tactful undercooking to preserve that nutritional freshness. It also explored the rarer components of salads and the vegetable department that were then used to compose a plate that was itself a work of art as laid before you -- but a piece of art that you were obliged to destroy.
The whole thing was called nouvelle cuisine, and over the years it has blithely taken on the best of any national cuisine it could find. Large books could be written about the way in which the Chez Panisse menu has evolved, but it has always aspired to the same things -- and these are by no means antagonistic to sexual pleasure -- fragrance, flavor, sensual pleasure, developed appetite in a healthy body.
Now, in a nation as puritanical as this one, and as thoroughly nervous of pleasure for its own sake, it is still possible for a restaurant review to sound elitist and decadent. And many of those God-fearing defenders of the straight and narrow way lunch on a cheeseburger and double fries. Which is their right and privilege, even if it hastens their death and restricts their sense of life.
Chez Panisse is a restaurant in a privileged part of the world. It requires highly skilled workers and expensive, handmade ingredients. So it is not cheap food. Nor is it by any stretch the most expensive restaurant in America. Indeed, Chez Panisse has strived to keep its prices moderate and fair. And because Alice herself is frequently not just in the kitchen, but out and about in the restaurant talking to her customers, no one could regard her as a profiteer. She has done well enough out of it, I hope, and been happy, but she maintains the restaurant life (which never stops) and has never paused to cash in, or to yield to offers to franchise the name "Panisse" so that its menu came deep-frozen out of factories in New Jersey. Instead, she is dedicated to the moment and freshness of our pleasure.
So there s no need to refer to figs and oysters or the eternal aphrodisiac content in food, no need even to play upon the ways in which we speak of sex as if it were a meal. The most important thing -- and it has to do with the belated maturation of this very reluctant America -- is that Chez Panisse has looked pleasure in the face, kept from blinking and said, yes, that is for us. Because, after all, life is hard enough, surely too short and deeply unfair. But life deserves our enjoyment, and life will never improve unless the philosophy of pleasure is understood and grasped with gentle hands. That is not simply self-indulgence, abandon and irresponsibility. It is in the most real sense a diet for the nation that would let us be healthier, wiser and kinder. The best way to defeat a tyrant is to let him poison himself. The best recipe for a benevolent leader could be a light polenta with the freshest anchovies and basil, and this rather insolent Pinot that we happen to have.

Pandemic-era cooking staple takes hit as Americans go out more
Nov. 8, 2022 Updated Tue., Nov. 8, 2022 at 3:35 p.m.
Aluminum foil runs through a production line at a foil mill. (Andrey Rudakov/Bloomberg)
By Daniela Sirtori-Cortina Bloomberg
Aluminum foil, which got a boost from more at-home dining during the early stages of the pandemic when many eateries closed, is having a tougher time these days.
People are leaving their houses more, meaning "daily usage has dropped moderately," Reynolds Consumer Products Chief Executive Officer Lance Mitchell said Tuesday on a call with analysts after reporting quarterly revenue that missed expectations.
Consumers are also turning to appliances such as air fryers and slow cookers, Mitchell said. Those gadgets don't always require foil.
Even as pandemic restrictions fade and consumer mobility goes back to normal, the rising cost of eating out is giving homemade meals a boost. With that in mind, Reynolds rolled out discounts and advertising for foil that have helped consumption, the company said. The promotions will extend into the holiday season.
The holidays may be an occasion for dining out this year as consumers look for ways to combat the high prices of turkey, potatoes and other traditional items. Inflation in the "food-away-from-home" category is increasing at a slower rate than for groceries.
The Lake Forest, Illinois-based firm also said it hasn't yet benefited from easing commodity costs. Aluminum prices have declined more than 16% this year amid a global slowdown in demand, surging energy prices across Europe and COVID-related shutdowns in China, the world's biggest consumer of the material. For now, Reynolds is still making products with higher-priced aluminum it purchased earlier.

"Reel Reviews: 'The Lion King' computer-generated remake longer than necessary" by: Jessica Shepard
Submitted by Baycity1 on Thu, 07/25/2019 - 10:39am
The Lion King is a photorealistic computer-animated musical film directed and produced by Jon Favreau, written by Jeff Nathanson, and produced by Walt Disney Pictures.
It's also the remake of Disney's traditionally animated 1994 film of the same name.
Currently ranked at No. 1 worldwide, it's generated over $543 million and is rated PG for sequences of violence and peril, and some thematic elements.
Now, I wasn't head over heels for the original, but this shot-for-shot remake is lacking for me.
The musical numbers were depressing for me since I was expecting more choreography like the old animated movie – instead, they were boring.
It also seemed to drag on longer than the original when Simba's growth from cub to adult was shown, though there were more jokes between Timon and Pumbaa.
If you're really a fan of the original, then you're going to love this one more than me.
The film stars the voices of Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alfre Woodard, Billy Eichner, John Kani, John Oliver, James Earl Jones, JD McCrary, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Florence Kasumba, Eric Andre, Keegan-Michael Key, and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.
In the Pride Lands of Africa, lion king Mufasa (Jones) rules over the animal kingdom from Pride Rock.
King Mufasa's and Queen Sarabi's (Woodard) newborn son, Simba (McCrary), is presented to the gathering animals by Rafiki (Kani) the mandrill, the kingdom's shaman, and advisor.
Mufasa shows Simba the Pride Lands and explains to him the responsibilities of kingship and the "circle of life," which connects all living things.
Mufasa's younger brother, Scar (Ejiofor), covets the throne and plots to eliminate Mufasa and Simba, so he may become king.
He tricks Simba and his best friend Nala (Joseph), to whom Simba is betrothed, into exploring a forbidden elephants' graveyard, where they are attacked by spotted hyenas led by Shenzi (Kasumba), Kamari (Key), and Azizi (Andre).
Mufasa is alerted about the incident by his majordomo, the hornbill Zazu (Oliver), and rescues the cubs.
Though upset with Simba, Mufasa forgives him and explains that the great kings of the past watch over them from the night sky, from which he will one day watch over Simba.
Meanwhile, Scar visits the hyenas and manages to convince them to help him overthrow Mufusa in exchange for hunting rights in the Pride Lands.
Scar sets a trap for his brother and nephew, luring Simba into a gorge and having the hyenas drive a large herd of wildebeest into a stampede that will trample him.
He informs Mufasa of Simba's peril, knowing that the king will rush to save his son.
Mufasa saves Simba but ends up hanging perilously from the gorge's edge.
Scar refuses to help Mufasa, instead sending him falling to his death.
He then convinces Simba that the tragedy was Simba's own fault and advises him to leave the kingdom and never return.
He orders the hyenas to kill the cub, but Simba escapes.
Scar tells the pride that both Mufasa and Simba were killed in the stampede and steps forward as the new king, allowing his three hyena minions and the rest of their large pack to live in the Pride Lands.
From there the plot follows the original nearly word for word, but fleshes out Simba and Nala's parallel living situations and growth to adults.

Welcome. This website is a D&D 3.5 character sheet iPad app. It is intended to act as a supplement to a paper character sheet and paper rule books. It is not a replacement. You'll find it's great at automatic stat recalculation, and is a good reference for rules your character already has, but you'll still want the rule books to look up other rules and to help you choose new feats and stuff like that.
It's free for anyone to use, but it's currently in beta, so it's missing some of the core rules and you'll have to contact me before you can add your own rules. Full details are listed on the about page.
Please let me know what you think and how you'd like it improved. At the top of my list are adding the remaining core rules, performing inline updates so that you don't have to wait for a page refresh after each edit, and opening up the rule-set editor for general use.
Are you a serious programmer? I'd be happy to open-source this app if you're willing to take over hosting the public version. Good night and good hunting.

The annual SEMANTiCS conference is the meeting place for professionals who make semantic computing work, and understand its benefits and know its limitations. Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts information managers, IT-architects, software engineers, and researchers, from organisations ranging from NPOs, universities, public administrations to the largest companies in the world.
In recent years, Semantic Web technologies have strengthened their position in the areas of data and knowledge management. Standards for organizing and querying semantic information, such as RDF(S) and SPARQL are adopted by large academic communities, while corporate vendors adopt semantic technologies to organize, expose, exchange and retrieve their datasets as Linked Data.
Sponsored Event: Enjoy semantic technology inspiration in a relaxed atmosphere. Refresh yourself with Viennese coffee or a cocktail and get in touch with semantic industry experts.
The overall goal of the workshop is to identify challenges and limitations from the manufacturing engineering industry in the scope of the mentioned design principles, and bring them together with experts and solution approaches from the linked data community in the scope of Industry 4.0.
This workshop is meant as an opportunity to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in data science to present their ideas and discuss the most important scientific, technical and socio-economical challenges of this emerging field.
In this workshop, we will give several demos and concrete examples of how Linked Data can be used by enterprises in various industries. The workshop aims to give users and providers of Linked Data valuable methods and best practices at hand, which help them to make profound decisions in their Linked Data projects.
Hackathon on "The power of Linked Data in Agriculture and Food Safety"
"Data+Need=Hack", this is the idea of a hackathon that brings together like-minded people to develop, in a short time frame, novel solutions to problems around the theme "Agriculture and Food Safety".
We are looking forward to meet you at SEMANTiCS 2015!

Smart beta refers to an investment strategy that combines elements of passive index investing with those of actively managed investing. The ultimate goal is to outperform a benchmark index while retaining the lower risk and low volatility that are typically mentioned as key elements of index investing.
Investment professionals have varying views on whether smart beta accomplishes its objectives or, as many skeptics have claimed, is more appropriately labeled "smart marketing." Learn the theory behind smart beta, how it works, and what its pros and cons are.
Smart beta is an investment strategy that's a hybrid of passive index investing and actively managed investing intended to outperform a benchmark index. Smart beta incorporates the better parts of passive index investing—low risk and less volatility—with the prospect of the better performance of actively managed funds but with lower expenses.
Smart beta investment strategies are primarily available to individual investors through ETFs. They are considered a hybrid between passive index funds and actively managed funds because they seek to outperform the market index while maintaining low turnover and offering lower expenses than an actively managed fund.
To understand the term "smart beta," it is necessary to review the meaning of beta as it applies to investing. Beta is a means of measuring a stock's volatility in relation to the overall market (i.e., the S&P 500). The S&P 500's beta is expressed as 1.0. If a stock historically has been more volatile than the S&P 500, its beta will be higher than 1.0.
For example, a stock that is 20% more volatile than the S&P 500 has a beta of 1.2. Any stock with a beta over 1.0 is considered riskier than the index, but also should increase in value more than the index when the market is up. If the S&P increases 10% in a time period, the stock with a 1.2 beta should increase 12% during that same period. Conversely, stocks with a beta lower than 1.0 pose less risk than the index, but also are likely to have lower returns.
Beta only measures a stock's volatility in relation to the market, not whether it performs better or worse than the market. Thus, a stock that performs 50% better than the S&P 500 in an up market and a stock that performs 50% worse in a down market will both have a high beta.
Traditional market index funds and ETFs are "capitalization-weighted." That is, the individual stocks within the fund are based on each stock's market capitalization. A handful of large-cap stocks can represent a large percentage of the index's total value.
Smart beta strategies attempt to outperform traditional market indexes while improving diversification and reducing risk by exploiting one or more performance factors other than market capitalization, such as momentum, earnings, volatility, or dividend growth. Multiple factors may be weighted equally or separated into tiers.
Smart beta strategies can be used for fixed income investments as well as stocks, and offer the same benefits—increased diversity, less dependence on size, and potentially lower risk.
Multiple investing strategies
Lower expenses than actively managed funds
Lack of evidence that it's a reliable strategy
Can be complicated
Higher expenses than index funds
Multiple investing strategies: Smart beta ETFs ostensibly offer investors a way around the simple capitalization-weighted investing of index funds through a variety of strategies that can match an investor's investing style.
Lower expenses than actively managed funds: Smart beta ETFs generally do have lower expenses than actively managed funds.
Lack of evidence that it's a reliable strategy: Research has shown when the performance of smart beta ETFs is assessed against the blended benchmark, the smart beta theme portfolios do not consistently deliver significant benchmark-adjusted returns.
Can be complicated: The rules of individual smart beta ETFs can be complex and leave investors uncertain about what strategies they are truly following.
Higher expenses than index funds: Smart beta ETFs tend to be more expensive than index funds.
Whereas beta measures volatility, alpha measures the difference between a portfolio's expected return and its actual performance, taking into account the level of risk as measured by beta. The baseline measure for alpha is zero.
A fund that returned 12% in a year when the S&P 500 returned 8% would have a higher alpha, while a fund that returned less than 8% would have a negative alpha. Naturally, investors seek funds whose management has a high alpha. However, investors who are less aggressive will balance the alpha against the beta.
As fund investors are always warned, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Investors often seek ways to outperform the market in good and bad times. Smart beta funds aim to outperform index funds in both up and down markets while providing lower volatility. However, investors should carefully research any smart beta investment vehicles they are considering to make sure the strategy matches their objective, and to assess the performance of the fund over various periods compared with index funds.
Smart beta funds are a hybrid between index funds and actively managed funds.
They seek to outperform index funds by exploiting one or more performance factors other than market capitalization. These may include momentum, liquidity, earnings, volatility, or dividend growth.
Smart beta investment strategies can be used for fixed income assets like bonds as well as stocks.
Smart beta funds generally have lower expenses than actively managed funds but higher expenses than index funds.

'He's a man of his word': Indy 500 winner Hélio Castroneves makes house call after promise – Fox 59
INDIANAPOLIS — After making history Sunday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, four-time Indy 500 champion Hélio Castroneves had one more victory lap to take, but not anywhere near the brickyard.
It was back down North New Jersey Street, a place he had been once before.
"I told them, 'Look, if I win the race, I'll come here and celebrate with you guys,'" recalled Castroneves. "When you said it, you gotta mean it. You gotta make it happen. Because I felt very special, I felt very touched by those guys, the neighborhood, and I said, 'Well, that'll be a lot of fun if I win.'"
It was last Saturday during the 500 Spectacle of Homes "reverse" parade when Castroneves first met the Terzini family in front of their home on New Jersey. The homeowners had entered their décor into the contest, which took place in lieu of the typical 500 Festival Parade through downtown.
Something about their decorations, one in particular, caught Castroneves eye.
"What they did it's a, I've never seen anything like it. Having the mannequin climb the fence, a mini Hélio or mannequin Hélio climbing the fence, celebrating a win," Castroneves said. "So I said, 'I'm gonna come here and celebrate if we win.'"
Turn on the nerves for the Terzinis, who took in the action in person.
"We were getting down 20 laps to go, 15 laps to go, 10 laps to go, and we're like looking at each other, all my friends and everything, and we're like, is this gonna happen? Is this gonna happen?" Jameson Terzini said. "We were kinda looking at each other in the stands, and ugh, just everybody, is this gonna happen? Is this gonna happen? Five laps to go we're like, this is gonna happen!"
It happened, and the Terzinis didn't know if Castroneves would make good on his promise until early Monday morning.
"He's a man of his word, he's a man of his word," Terzini said. "He didn't owe us anything. We thought it was fantastic enough that we were able to have him at our home to begin with, but then the follow up, and man, I don't know. It's just amazing right now."
The Terzinis and about a dozen of their closest friends waited on their front porch and lawn, partying and enjoying the afternoon waiting for Castroneves to arrive. And arrive he did to an eruption of chants and applause.
"Thank you friends for the all excitement for helping this guy put this house, this beautiful house together. Now, we're four-time winners," Castroneves told the excited crowd. "I said I would and I will because I am a man of my word. Guys, thank you so much everyone. Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend, have fun. I lost my voice! You can imagine why."
Surrounded by new friends, Castroneves' triumphant return to North New Jersey Street wouldn't have been complete without pictures, hugs and even autographed gifts and souvenirs exchanged back and forth.
"It went from a normal weekend to very awesome, incredible, unbelievable weekend very quickly — very, very quickly," Terzini said. "It goes down, more importantly, as one of the best memories and one of the bets weekends that we've had."
If the 500 Spectacle of Homes makes a return in 2022 or not, the Terzini's say it'll remain a tradition and a fond memory on their block for years to come.
"It was a crazy year last year with everything going on, and to be able to participate in a fun event and be able to have contributions from everybody, get positive affirmations from everybody, I can't say enough," Terzini said. "He just made my whole year."

What do I mean by the ABC connection? The Abortion - Breast Cancer Connection.
Isn't it funny how the 'pro-choice' feminists want all women to have the freedom to "choose," but they don't really care about women making a truly informed choice!
They only want the choice to be made based on their own promotion of a de-population agenda and to remove any short-term consequences for irresponsible sexual behavior.
But they have been deliberately quashing any and all references in the mainstream media to the undeniable connections between women who have abortions and breast cancer.
It is in fact a biological phenomenon that is perfectly explainable without invoking any kind of "pro-life" or "religous fundamentalist" type of argument. And these revelations are nothing new...
From AbortionBreastCancer.com
Scientists first observed in the 17th century that women's reproductive histories impacted their risk for breast cancer when it was noticed that nuns were at high risk for the disease. Scientists surmised that childbearing provides women with increased protection.
Today's medical experts agree that the best way women can reduce their lifetime risk for breast cancer is by: 1) Having an early first full term pregnancy (FFTP) starting before age 24; 2) Bearing more children; and 3) Breastfeeding for a longer lifetime duration. It's undeniable that abortion causes women to change their childbearing patterns. It leads them to forego the protective effects of early FFTP, increased childbearing and breastfeeding. Consequently, scientists do not debate that it increases breast cancer risk in this first of two ways.
Despite these truths, there is not one cancer fundraising business that uses the phrase, "Abortion raises breast cancer risk." Not one of them has ever denounced Planned Parenthood for depriving women of the protective effect of childbearing or acknowledged that abortion contributes to the nation's breast cancer rates at least in this way.
If childbearing reduces breast cancer risk, then choosing not to have that child means a greater breast cancer risk for the woman. Therefore, there is no debate among scientists that the woman who aborts has a greater breast cancer risk than does the woman who has a baby (assuming that her pregnancy lasts at least 32 weeks).
Fascinating stuff...
However, it's not just the fact that a woman that has an abortion never realizes the protection she gets from carrying a pregnancy to full term when she is young, there is another effect that occurs when a female becomes pregnant and has an abortion...
Abortion has been implicated with breast cancer in yet another way, however, and estrogen overexposure is the explanation for it. There is staggering evidence of an independent link between abortion and breast cancer. What this means is that a woman who has an abortion is left with more cancer-vulnerable cells than she had before she ever became pregnant. Biological evidence and more than two dozen studies worldwide support a cause and effect relationship. Fifteen studies were conducted on American women, and 13 of them reported risk elevations. Seven found a more than a twofold elevation in risk. Seventeen are statistically significant, 16 of which demonstrated a positive association. The term "statistical significance" means that scientists are at least 95% certain that their findings are not due to chance or error.
The evidence of a causal relationship between abortion and breast cancer isn't only based on a statistical relationship either. Scientists also require biological evidence and a reasonable biological explanation before concluding that there's a causal relationship. These requirements have been met.
In summary, when a woman becomes pregnant, her body chemistry changes dramatically. Her body produces massive amounts of estrogen in the beginning stages of a pregnancy, and part of that is to prepare the breast tissue to begin producing milk.
These biological facts are the basis for making the abortion/breast cancer connection:
The explanation for the independent link makes good biological sense. It remains un-refuted and unchallenged by scientists because it is physiologically correct.
A never-pregnant woman has a network of primitive, immature and cancer-vulnerable breast cells which make up her milk glands. It is only in the third trimester of pregnancy - after 32 weeks gestation - that her cells start to mature and are fashioned into milk producing tissue whose cells are cancer resistant.
When a woman becomes pregnant, her breasts enlarge. This occurs because a hormone called estradiol, a type of estrogen, causes both the normal and pre-cancerous cells in the breast to multiply terrifically. This process is called "proliferation." By 7 to 8 weeks gestation, the estradiol level has increased by 500% over what it was at the time of conception.
If the pregnancy is carried to term, a second process called "differentiation" takes place. Differentiation is the shaping of cells into milk producing tissue. It shuts off the cell multiplication process. This takes place at approximately 32 weeks gestation.
If the pregnancy is aborted, the woman is left with more undifferentiated -- and therefore cancer-vulnerable cells -- than she had before she was pregnant. On the other hand, a full term pregnancy leaves a woman with more milk producing differentiated cells, which means that she has fewer cancer-vulnerable cells in her breasts than she did before the pregnancy.
In contrast, research has shown that most miscarriages do not raise breast cancer risk. This is due to a lack of estrogen overexposure. Miscarriages are frequently precipitated by a decline in the production of progesterone which is needed to maintain a pregnancy. Estrogen is made from progesterone, so the levels of each hormone rise and fall together during pregnancy.
For a thorough biological explanation of the abortion-breast cancer link, see this second website for the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute, and click on its online booklet, "Breast Cancer Risks and Prevention."
The fact that such scientific research is not widely known...despite having a "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" and the million and one charities and foundations supposedly dedicated to eradicating breast cancer only goes to show what the mainstream establishment and the feminist movement value more - there sacred sacrament of infanticide over the lives of the very women they supposedly care so much about.
Shouldn't every woman contemplating an abortion be educated on the biological truth that having one can increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer later on in her life?
Why wouldn't a pro-choice advocacy want women to know about the dangers of an elective procedure?
Answer: because the real agenda is global depopulation. Just as millions of babies are murdered in their wombs, so to are millions of women who are exposed to much higher risks of dying from cancer. It's a win-win situation for the global elite that want to reduce the number of proles...so that they can achieve there primary goal of environmental "sustainability."
"Shouldn't every woman contemplating an abortion be educated on the biological truth that having one can increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer later on in her life?"
My question for you and the rest of them...would it matter if they knew about the risk? I highly doubt that it would. Think about it....have a child or risk "possibly" of getting cancer. I think most women would go ahead with the abortion, because a woman has already gone throught the process of deciding to have an abortion, nothing is going to stop her. Also not included in this article which I think is very convenient!! Is the statistics of how many of these women use BIRTH CONTROL PILLS!!! No where is this addressed, which leads me to not believe anything this article has stated. I wonder if the catholic church is behind this.
Oh and by the way...I did a little research on the ABC site and it states: "Recently, we found that a first-trimester abortion, whether spontaneous or induced, before the first full-term pregnancy is actually associated with an increase in the risk of breast cancer."
Ok and let me knock this out of the park!
"Between 10% and 50% of pregnancies end in clinically apparent miscarriage, depending upon the age and health of the pregnant woman.[2] In most cases, they occur so early in the pregnancy that the woman is not even aware that she was pregnant. One study testing hormones for ovulation and pregnancy showed a rate of pregnancy in exposed ovulatory cycles of 59.6%; with 61.9% of conceptuses lost prior to 12 weeks of which 91.7% occuried subclinically, without the knowledge of the mother."
"Isn't it funny how the 'pro-choice' feminists want all women to have the freedom to "choose," but they don't really care about women making a truly informed choice!"
Heh. Wasn't it de Beauvoir who said that women shouldn't be able to make the choice between wage-laborer and hausfrau because too many women would make the (wrong) choice?
Was in a local Mexican restaurant today. It was decked out all in pink. Apparently the company has partnered with the Komen foundation to eliminate breast cancer.
Somehow I don't think the ABC connection will make it onto any of their promotional materials...it's much easier to think that breast cancer strikes innocent women randomly...
Elusive Wapiti said... "Somehow I don't think the ABC connection will make it onto any of their promotional materials...it's much easier to think that breast cancer strikes innocent women randomly..."
Then then they should also inform them about the increase risk in breast cancer from miscarriages as well. Don't forget Birth Control pills!! Like I said this article didn't have any mention of them, and it's obvious they have an agenda. If they truly cared, they would inform women on all three possible factors.
Your right anon, women should be informed about all the risks of breast cancer. Too bad the feminists won't get on board!
Delayed childbirth and abortion included, as well as miscarriages. NOW censored an ad that told women the truth about the risks involved with delaying childbirth(infertility and breast cancer.) They stamped their feet and threw a hissy fit and "no you cant tell women that - they may decide to get married and have children as young adult instead of pursuing promiscuous sex and 'careers' if they knew the truth!"
Women should also be honestly informed about the risk of suicide increase in the year following an abortion and about post abortion syndrome - but the feminists deny such a thing exists.
Feminists are simply NOT pro woman unless that woman is trying her hardest to be unfeminine and emulate the lowest behavior of men.
The feminist don't need to jump on board. It's my job as a woman to educate myself...stop blaming feminism.....
Antifeminist woman said...
I will blame feminism as much as I will. It's time they answered for the havoc they wrought on society.
Feminists aren't so holy as to be above criticism.
wrought must be wreaked, of course:)
But they still will have to answer for it. I think it makes them feel rather uncomfortable.
"..stop blaming feminism" The fact is they are absolutely responsible.
Perhaps if they would get out of the business of indoctrinating the young with lies through our corrupt public education system they wouldn't be to blame. Perhaps if they wouldn't censor information and howl and moan in order to shut down opposition when anyone dares publicly point out their outright lies and misinformation they wouldn't be to blame. Perhaps if they would own up to the terrible toll promiscuous women take on society they wouldn't be to blame.
Perhaps if they would stop using tax payers money to fund infanticide mills like the sardonically misnamed Planned Parenthood they wouldn't be to blame. Perhaps if they would support parental notification laws, at the very least, so that parents can take an active role in teaching and protecting their daughters.
The Feminists are absolutely to blame for pushing a self serving, dishonest, hateful ideology on society and influencing children to engage in self destructive behavior.
"Don't forget Birth Control pills!! "
Not just for breast cancer, either. My sister took the Pill and smoked. A bad combination. She ended up getting blood clots in her lungs that nearly gave her a stroke. Now she's on Coumadin, maybe for the rest of her life, and she has roughly 50% capacity in her lungs left.
Uncharted Thoughts said...
Is it cause or effect?
I suspect most women having abortions are leading a rather unhealthy lifestyle, which might be an explanation of the apparent trend that women who have abortions have higher rates of cancer.
There is also a link that miscarriages are generally a sign of poor health.
I suspect this study is reflective of poor lifestyle choices rather than body chemistry.

Okay – before I start – I have to say – JOIN THE SOUTHERN FOODWAYS ALLIANCE… good?
I made it through the snow and ice in Arctic temperatures to Walland, Tennessee. My trip to Blackberry Farm might be one of the most extraordinary trips I have ever taken – anywhere. I know that is saying a lot BUT the warm, gracious hospitality that you experience from the time you drive in the gate is exquisite. Add to Blackberry the wit, education and pure joy of the Southern Foodways Alliance and you have – hands down – one of the best events in the world.
Blackberry Farm – I had the luxury of sitting next to Sam and Mary Celeste Beall on Thursday night and was struck by their deep knowledge of this farm and understanding of the ultimate Farm-to-Table experience.
The Blackberry Farm Cookbook – on the inside flap – says it best: "In the foothills, you don't eat to eat, you eat to talk, to remember, and to imagine what you will eat tomorrow." The book is lush with photographs of the estate, the kitchens, the gardens and luscious Farm-to-Table recipes.
Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes **Courtesy of Taste of the South notepad so generously supplied for all our cooking and tasting notes!
Simmer potatoes until tender. Strain and dry in the 300-degree oven for 15 minutes.
Run potatoes through a food mill with a medium die to mash. Stir in remaining, heated ingredients. Taste for seasoning.
Note: Those of you who are new to cast iron, NEVER wash your pan with soapy water. Clean your skillet first with a handful of kosher salt then rinse in warm to hot water and dry thoroughly. I learned this from Angie Mosier while working on Alabama Studio Style.
Saturday morning was the aforementioned biscuit making classes which featured a lard-based recipe. Those of you who have been here for awhile know that I pride myself as a world-class biscuit maker (in fact, I got my nickname "Alabama" by making biscuits – Alabama Bread in Venezuela) and my favorite recipe can be found in Alabama Stitch Book; however, I am definitely going to try this lard recipe very soon.
**Courtesy of Taste of the South notepad so generously supplied for all our cooking and tasting notes!
Fold over one-third of dough on each side and pat gently. Fold over one-third of top and bottom and pat dough into a square, about 1 – 1 1/2″ thick. Cut with well-floured ring mold about 2" in diameter. Place on papered sheet pan. Brush tops with melted butter and bake at 375F for 8 minutes, turn and continue baking until tops are very well browned and biscuit is firm. Brush with butter after removing from oven.
I am going to start keeping buttermilk in my refrigerator.
I opted out of cooking and went straight for the beer tasting with Lazy Magnolia from Mississippi. I LOVE their Indian Summer brew – served, of course, in Reidl stemware. Delicious. Planning my visit to Mississippi now.
There were too many highlights of the weekend to mention all but a great treat was listening to Danny Meyers speak on Friday evening. Danny was named the unelected emperor of New York City over the weekend by the WSJ. I had never read his book Setting the Table but devoured it last night and have added it to my reading list of business books this morning. Hospitality – in every sense of the word – is truly at the core of every exceptional business.
Saturday night was featured the Gala Dinner to Benefit the Southern Foodways Alliance and the Fellowship of Southern Farmers, Artisans and Chefs – which already features a stellar array of genius. The dinner featured guest chefs: Edward Lee, Joe Truex, Ashley Christensen, John Shields and Karen Urie Shields along with wines from Turley Cellars.
Ashley Christensen made a Rabbit Sausage with collards which might be one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life.
This year's inductee to the Fellowship of Southern Farmers, Artisans and Chefs was Julian (and Sissy) Van Winkle. As you can imagine, Old Rip Van Winkle flowed.
I could go on and on… and on…but the best thing to do is to join the Southern Foodways Alliance today & start to save for your trip to Taste of the South – 2011 @ Blackberry Farm.
Thanks again to John T. Edge, Angie Mosier, all the SFA team, everyone at Blackberry Farm and, especially, Rathead Riley. Looking forward to seeing you all again very, very soon!

Ethnic Studies Coming Soon to All California High Schools…
On October 8, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 101 into law, making California one of the first states to require ethnic studies in order to receive a high school diploma. Incoming high schoolers in California public high schools will need to take at least one semester of ethnic studies to graduate. With the passing of this bill, ethnic studies will become a required course for all high schoolers in California, beginning in 2025. Up to this point, ethnic studies have been encouraged in schools, but have never been required for graduation at the high school level. The curriculum students will be using is open to adjustments, meaning schools are allowed to modify the curriculum as long as it is approved by the state.
What is AB 101?
AB101, which amends the Education Code of California, was signed by Governor Newsom on Friday, October 8, 2021. With this new law passed, ethnic studies will be a required course for California high schoolers to graduate. This law comes into effect so that all high schoolers graduating in 2030 will have taken one of these courses on ethnic studies, beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year. The Daily Californian reports, "Assemblymember Jose Medina introduced AB 101 to include a one-semester ethnic studies course in high school diploma requirements, starting with high school students graduating in the 2029-2030 school year. The bill aims to broaden education opportunities, teach students about the variety of communities across the state and prevent course bias."
The passing of this bill is the beginning of curriculum changes in ethnic studies for Californians, yet this is not the first time that ethnic studies as coursework has been introduced to California schools. In Forbes, Kimberlee Speakman states that the California Board of Education approved guidelines to help develop curricula for classroom ethnic studies. California desires to highlight the different perspectives that have shaped the state's history. In his letter, Governor Newsom writes, "The bill [AB 101] also expresses the Legislature's intent that courses should not include portions of the initial draft curriculum that had been rejected by the Instructional Quality Commission due to concerns related to bias, bigotry, and discrimination." This bill exists to expand the perspectives of high school students in the state of California.
The Reasons for Ethnic Studies
In his letter addressing the California State Assembly, Newsom writes, "Ethnic studies courses enable students to learn their own stories, and those of their classmates, and a number of studies have shown that these courses boost student achievement over the long run–especially among students of color." Newsom's reason for passing the bill is to enrich Californian students in the diversity of their histories. The hope is that this course will broaden students' perspectives, making them proud of their heritage while learning to respect the backgrounds of others. "After years of advocacy and vocal opposition from an array of lawmakers and organizers, the curriculum set to be taught in schools will help students understand the contributions of Black, Latino, Asian, and indigenous Americans, along with other groups that have faced discrimination and marginalization in the U.S.," writes Dorman in Business Insider.
So how do you fill the requirement?…
After signing the bill, the California legislature passed guidelines for ethnic course requirements. In public schools, the requirement will be for one semester's coursework in ethnic studies. However, a private school may extend this coursework time to a year, and this would be allowed and encouraged. The California legislature writes, "This bill would add the completion of a one-semester course in ethnic studies, meeting specified requirements, to the graduation requirements commencing with pupils graduating in the 2029-2030 school year, including for pupils enrolled in a charter school. The bill would expressly authorize local educational agencies, including charter schools, to require a full-year course in ethnic studies at their discretion."AP California states, "Earlier this year, the state Board of Education approved a model ethnic studies curriculum that offers dozens of suggested lesson plans and instructional approaches. The curriculum is not mandatory, but schools can choose from its lesson plans or use it as a guide to design their own." Although the curriculum is not clearly defined, there are some main tenets that the California legislature has expressed this curriculum form will cover. AP California continues to mention the diverse ethnic groups which would be included in these courses. These are the general guidelines for the curriculum that the state wishes to implement in the upcoming coursework.
At the closing of his letter addressed to the California legislature regarding the passing of this bill, Governor Gavin Newsom writes, "America is shaped by our shared history, much of it painful and etched with woeful injustice. Students deserve to see themselves in their studies, and they must understand our nation's full history if we expect them to one day build a more just society." AB101 will change the way curriculum is formed in California, and the timeline in which material is taught. High school students graduating in 2030 will have more of a background in ethnic studies than current students.

Study Finds NYC Health Inspectors Gave Only Asian Restaurants Higher Number of Citations at Start of Pandemic
In January and February of 2020, Asian restaurants in New York City were the only type of cuisine to see an increase in citations.
New York City health inspectors issued a disproportionate number of citations to restaurants serving Asian cuisine in the early months of 2020, finds a new study by a team of researchers.
Their research shows that in January and February of 2020, as news of the COVID-19 pandemic spread, Asian restaurants in New York City saw a spike in the cumulative average number of citations received while every other type of measured cuisine saw a decrease.
"The COVID-19 pandemic created a racial reckoning among many Asian Americans as physical and verbal attacks spiked during this period. And while we know Asian restaurants suffered due to widespread stereotypes, both existing and new, few studies have uncovered how government institutions may have perpetuated these inequalities," said Hua-Yu Sebastian Cherng, a professor at New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development and the lead author of the paper, which appears in the journal Ethnicities.
Using data from the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the researchers calculated the cumulative monthly averages of citations by cuisine type from January 2017 to February 2020, using citation information (citations per restaurant) for restaurants in the following categories: Asian (3,847), American (4,894), Caribbean (605), Italian (888), Latin (764), and Mexican (795).
Using a predictive model, the researchers generated figures for January 2020 and February 2020 to determine whether the citation averages followed the pattern of the previous three years (2017-2019).
After analyzing the gaps between the predicted figures and the actual figures, they found an increase of .66% of citations for Asian restaurants over the studied period.
"While an increase of .66% in citations seems incredibly small on its face, it is largely due to the relatively high number of citations restaurants receive," notes Cherng. "However, comparing the change in gaps between the actual and predicted citations revealed a much starker difference. Restaurants serving Asian cuisines had an increase of 617% in gaps from December 2019 to February 2020."
By contrast, when comparing the predicted figures to the cumulative monthly averages for the categories of Latin, Italian, and Mexican restaurants, they found a consistent decrease of .29%, .73%, and .69%, respectively.
The study notes that perceptions of Asian cuisine as "foreign, unclean, and disease-bearing" have been prevalent for hundreds of years in the United States and persist in present times.
"Here, the results of this study suggest how health inspectors who subscribe to these stereotypes may perpetuate and exacerbate racism against Asian food establishments," the authors write.
"Addressing racial discrimination must always include addressing systematic barriers: it is not just 'hate' that fuels racism. For example, health inspectors should be better trained to address the biases they may hold against specific types of restaurants," adds Cherng, vice dean for diversity, equity, and belonging at NYU Steinhardt. "But the findings of the paper also raise questions about the broader impact of media, and how early coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic often relied on, rather than challenged, centuries-old stereotypes that harm the Asian American community."
The study was co-authored by Martha Moreno, a doctoral student at NYU Steinhardt, and Jia-Lin Liu, an assistant professor at California State University, Los Angeles.

Famous Female Mathematicians and their Contributions (Part II)
1. Dame Mary Lucy Cartwright
2. Mary Jackson
3. Dorothy Vaughan
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
6. External References
Read out the previous part of Famous Female mathematicians here.
Hey, have you heard of Einstein? Yes. Ok, how about Pythagoras? Yeah, we thought you would have. But have you heard of Mary Jackson or Dorothy Vaughan?
Unfortunately, there is a stereotype out there that maths is a boy's subject, and this is reinforced by the fact that most of the famous mathematicians we often hear about are men. However, there have been plenty of women who have made groundbreaking contributions to the world of mathematics.
Famous Mathematicians
Pingala-Mathematician

Famous Female Mathematicians-I
Dame Mary Lucy Cartwright
Born: Dec 17, 1900
Died: April 3, 1998
Hometown: Aynho, Northamptonshire, England
Education: St. Hugh's College, Oxford, 1923
Mary Cartwright was a British mathematician and a woman of many firsts! She was not only the first woman to obtain a first in her university degree, but also one of the first mathematicians to study what is now known as chaos theory. She was the first woman to receive the Sylvester Medal (awarded for the encouragement of mathematical research), the first woman to be President of the Mathematical Association, and the first woman to be President of the London Mathematical Society.
Mary's impact:
Thanks to her bravery in daring to defy the status quo, her work has gone on to strongly influence the modern theory of dynamical systems, and she even has a mathematical theorem named after her!
Her mathematical theorem, now known as Cartwright's theorem, gives an estimate for the maximum modulus of an analytic function that takes the same value no more than p times in the unit disc. To prove the theorem she used a new approach, applying a technique introduced by Lars Ahlfors for conformal mappings.
Awards & Recognition:
Cartwright was the first woman:
to receive the Sylvester Medal
to serve on the Council of the Royal Society
to be President of the Mathematical Association (in 1951)
to be President of the London Mathematical Society (in 1961–62)
In 1968, Cartwright received the De Morgan Medal of the Society and was elected an Honorary Fellow of The Royal Society of Edinburgh (HonFRSE).
In 1969, she received the distinction of being honored by the Queen, becoming Dame Mary Cartwright, Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
Mary Jackson
Born: April 9, 1921
Died: Feb 11, 2005
Hometown: Hampton, Virginia
Education: Hampton University, 1942
Mary Jackson, an American mathematician and aerospace engineer who, in 1958, became the first African American female engineer to work at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Jackson worked as an aerospace engineer for some 20 years. Much of her work centered on the airflow around aircraft. Despite early promotions, she was denied management-level positions, and in 1979 she left engineering and took a demotion to become manager of the women's program at NASA. In that post, she sought to improve the opportunities for all women at the organization. She retired in 1985. Jackson's contributions to the space program received greater recognition after her death in 2005.
Jackson's Impact:
Having first worked in human computing, Jackson went on to study wind tunnels; eventually entering a training program to get promoted from mathematician to engineer. The after-work classes where the training took place were conducted in a segregated high school, and Jackson had to obtain permission to be allowed to attend with her white classmates.
After completing the courses, Jackson in 1958 became NASA's first African American female engineer. According to the space agency's website, it is possible that Jackson might have been the only black female aeronautical engineer in the male-dominated field at the time. Over the next two decades, she worked at several NASA departments and authored or co-authored 12 technical papers before retiring in 1985.
Jackson also worked at the Federal Women's Program, the NASA Office of Equal Opportunity Programs, and the Affirmative Action Program, where she furthered the role of women in NASA's science, engineering, and mathematics careers. Jackson was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal by the United States in 2019.
Awards and Recognition:
Apollo Group Achievement Award, 1969
National Technical Association's Tribute Award, 1976
Langley Research Center Outstanding Volunteer Award, 1975
Langley Research Center Volunteer of the Year, 1976
Dorothy Vaughan
Born: Sept 20, 1910
Died: Nov 10, 2008
Hometown: Kansas City, Missouri
Education: B.A., Mathematics, Wilberforce University, 1929
Dorothy Vaughan, an American mathematician and computer programmer who made important contributions to the early years of the U.S. space program and who was the first African American manager at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which later became part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
West Virginia Conference of the A.M.E. Sunday School Convention – Full Tuition Scholarship (1925)
Wilberforce University – Mathematician Graduate Cum Laude (1929)
Head of National Advisory Committee of Aeronautics' Segregated West Computing Unit (1949-58)
On October 16, 2019, a lunar crater was named after her. This name was chosen by planetary scientist Ryan N. Watkins and her student, and submitted on what would have been Dorothy Vaughan's 109th birthday.
Congressional Gold Medal (2019)
Vaughan's impact
Vaughan was employed as a mathematician at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (the predecessor agency to NASA) in what she thought would be a temporary job.
A beneficiary of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 8802, Vaughan was among the first group of African Americans to be hired as mathematicians and scientists. The executive order prohibited discrimination based on race, religion and ethnicity in the defense industry.
Dorothy Vaughan's employer, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, was segregated, and black employees were forced to use separate bathrooms and dining facilities. Amid these conditions, Vaughan was promoted to lead the West Computers in 1949, becoming NACA's first black supervisor and one of its few female supervisors
