On Imperial Crimes in Honduras, Don't Believe the State Department
by John Glaser Posted on May 18, 2012
The State Department is almost certainly deceiving the American public regarding U.S. involvement in the murder of several Honduran civilians. As I've written, the government kept this information from the American people for almost an entire week (the incident is reported to have occurred on May 11). They acknowledged the incident and admitted to being involved only after Honduran news media and human rights organizations began publicizing it. And, wouldn't you know it, the stories differ. And the State Department's initial story has changed since its first articulation.
Dana Frank, whose work I've been blogging about and highlighting for at least six months, is a professor of history at the University of California and has been very outspoken about the Obama administration's terrible policies in Honduras (namely supporting a military coup regime and militarizing the country with U.S. Army and DEA troops under the pretext of the war on drugs). Here's what she had to say about the conflicting stories on Democracy Now:
As a historian I would start by underscoring that we have to be very careful about believing what the State Department is saying at this point. They have admitted that there were four helicopters and that two of them were State Department helicopters and that there were Guatemalan military on board as well. So it is obviously getting even more complicated.
According to the Mosquito people on the ground, and the local mayor, and the Congress person that the U.S. forces—they descended from the helicopters after they had allegedly been shot upon by alleged drug traffickers in a different boat. According to people on the ground, they mistook that boat for the boat with civilians and started shooting at the civilians, killing at least four people—by some accounts five—including at least one pregnant woman, and by some accounts, children. Another woman was also shot at and lost limbs as a result, and a boy was shot in the arm from behind. U.S. troops were clearly on the helicopters but local people say U.S. troops were doing part of the shooting.
Meanwhile, the Honduran government—I do want to underscore, a week before, the day after it happened, they reported that it was drug traffickers that had been killed, and only after the civilians came forward very bravely and said, wait a minute, we're not drug traffickers, we are local people—in fact, terrified of drug traffickers. And only thanks to AP do we even have it crossing over into the U.S. press, that there was U.S. DEA agent involvement in helicopters and on the ground.
Aside from this incident, we have to keep in mind that the Obama administration has blood on its hands anyways, given its committed support of the corrupt coup regime.
The police regularly kill people, and they have admitted that themselves, at least 300, have been killed by state security forces since Lobo came into office a little over two years ago. None of these people have been prosecuted. There are at least ten thousand denunciations of human rights abuses by state security forces, and even the government itself admits that—no one has been prosecuted for that. So this incident is happening in the context of U.S. ongoing support and even celebration of that regime, and welcoming Lobo to the White House just two weeks ago. In October—he was certainly speaking to the government in D.C. two weeks ago. So what's going on is we have this tremendously corrupt government that's killing its own people, and the U.S. is pouring more and more money into it.
As we speak, the U.S. has just recently tried to double a key piece of funding for the U.S.-Honduran military and police. Biden was recently down there, promising a hundred and seven million dollars more. We're increasing the funding for the U.S. Air Force base at Soto Cano, and making the barracks there permanent there for the first time.
So the Obama administration is enthusiastically supporting perhaps the most brutal regime in the region with money and weapons, is basing more than 600 U.S. troops and probably many more DEA agents inside Honduras, and doesn't think it's any of the American people's business if innocent men, women, and children are murdered in our name. This is the kind of prerogative that comes with leading the world's only military hegemon. And I have a feeling the Blue Team won't let it stop them from reelecting Barack Obama, Envoy of Change and Benevolence.

It's the Cold War all over again.
Roger Lafontaine says:
Truly, this is the cold war all over again, or it was never truly abandoned. The US is clinging to the 'shadows' of the Cold War, looking everywhere for it. It's become a kind of political superstition, a religion based on old dogmas that are now entirely baseless and irrelevant but re-stimulated by 'the war on drugs', 'the war on terrorism', and other forms of hysteria-mongering.
CassandraSpeaks says:
Obama welcomes the corrupt, brutal and authoritarian Lobo to the White House? Birds of a feather flock together.
Our government lied? Wow, you coulda knocked me over with a sledge hammer.
But seriously…
"So the Obama administration is enthusiastically supporting perhaps the most brutal regime in the region with money and weapons, is basing more than 600 U.S. troops and probably many more DEA agents inside Honduras, and doesn't think it's any of the American people's business if innocent men, women, and children are murdered in our name. "
Exactly. When you see how much your government is stealing from your paycheck, remember it is going to fund murdering innocent men, women and children.
The US Government is a government of murder and your government stealling the money from YOUR labor makes it possible.

John, do you mean to imply here that there still exist in this country grown men and women with "normal" intelligence quotients who actually believe something that a government agency says? PLEASE, say it ain't so – otherwise my last shred of faith in humanity is in jeopardy.

Amerikans are not stupid. However, they are thoroughly brainwashed from birth and continuously disinformed by the propaganda they are fed daily by the corporate media. In consideration of that fact, it is remarkable that any of them have been able to unplug themselves from the Matrix to see the world as it actually exists. However, some do, and that is a remarkable achievement. Indeed, most of the contributors to this site live in Amerika and have managed to somehow break free of the brainwashing. That is no minor achievement.
No one should forget it was the quintessential fluffer-boy Lanny Davis — Clinton's personal lawyer who argued that cocksucking is not "having sex" — who acted as the coupsters' US PR flack.

Originally published on Switch & Shift
"We need to cut 30 million dollars from operating expenses." What is your reaction to this purpose statement? Do you want to join the effort or sit on the sidelines?
If your change process lacks purpose, you are lost. You won't know where you are going and you may not even know how to get there. If your purpose lacks meaning, you end up disengaging the very people you need to engage.
A hospital steering team began to address this 30 million dollar cost reduction problem by clarifying their work's purpose. While this may seem obvious, the conversations they had were not.
Tips for Creating a Compelling Purpose
The steering team discussed the following questions in order to create a compelling purpose:
What do you want to create as a result of working together?
What will be different because this group worked on this project?
In order to do what?
To what end?
A doctor said, "I want to have time to treat people humanely." A patient said, "I want to get treated and go home in a timely manner." The nurse administrator said, "I need an IT system that works." The ER nurse said, "I want to treat my patients as humans, not like pieces of meat." Another doctor said, "I want nurses who can work together." The nutritionist said, "I want to provide more food options for patients." The radiologist said, "We need better equipment so I can make better diagnoses."
The fifth question is the most important question of all…
Why are you willing to put your own time and effort behind this work?
The steering team members thought about this for a minute. Their response was that they wanted to provide the kind of healthcare that made them want to become healthcare professionals in the first place. They wanted to eliminate the waste in the system that made it difficult for them to do their jobs and harmed patients. They wanted to provide healthcare that made them proud to be healthcare professionals.
They wanted to eliminate the waste in the system that made it difficult for them to do their jobs
You will know you hit pay dirt with this question when the energy and behavior of everyone involved shifts. When people talk authentically about what is important to them, they become more excited and animated. Color comes to their face. When you observe these reactions, you know people are talking about a purpose that has meaning for them.
While reducing cost by 30 million dollars seems like a straightforward process, reducing waste in the system so you can provide the kind of healthcare that makes you proud is a more complex task. A task that has meaning and challenge built in. For this hospital, success required eliminating waste and improving healthcare, and this overall purpose helped the staff meet their individual goals as well.
A compelling purpose provides direction and a way for everyone to see how they connect to the larger whole.
Purpose is your North Star
A compelling purpose provides direction and a way for everyone to see how they connect to the larger whole. When people understand how they fit and what their role is, you create a new sense of engagement.
If you put into practice the five-question dialogue process, you will create for your change process a North Star similar to the one that guided our hospital. A North Star that provides deeper meaning, creates direction, and focuses people on the task at hand.

Huawei turns to software to be more resilient and "survive better"
Huawei showed little concern about the future of the company at the global summit of analysts held last Monday. The strategy that the company plans to follow this year and the next is to diversify its component supply chain and dedicate much more resources to software development, so that equipment and telecommunications networks are less dependent on complex chips. Huawei's current president, Eric Xu, acknowledged being affected by the US embargo on its purchase of chips but also that the company can be self-sufficient thanks to the immense Chinese market. Huawei's current challenge is not to survive, as it has done in recent months, but to "survive in better conditions".
The inaugural ceremony of the annual analyst summit, which this time reached its eighteenth edition, was clearly aimed at an international audience, who could follow its broadcast live and delayed through the Internet and Twitter, with simultaneous translation in different languages from the company's auditorium in Shenzhen, where Huawei is headquartered in China. Physically there were about 400 guests, including analysts and journalists, the vast majority Chinese. The event took place at four in the afternoon China time, ten in the morning Spanish time, which gave an idea of the interest in the message having international repercussion.
The president of Huawei Technologies, Eric Xu, was in charge of outlining the strategic lines that will govern the future of the company in the coming years, both in terms of technological development and introduction into new markets. Xu acknowledged that during the past year, as well as the previous one, the company has had to face immense challenges derived from the embargo imposed by the Donald Trump Administration on its main suppliers of electronic components, but it has survived. Now, he added, it is not just about surviving, but about "surviving in better conditions."
Huawei wants to reinvent itself as a software company that serves all types of industries through its telecommunications networks; networks with more features thanks to software and not so much to chips
The impact of the US sanctions on last year's income statement has been broad, as can be seen from Huawei's recently released annual report, but on a substantial turnover, net profit and total assets basis, even by Chinese standards, where everything is immense. Revenue grew by a reduced 3.8%, far from the double digits of previous years, but reached 136,717 million dollars. The operating margin fell one point, to a healthy 8.1%, and assets rose again to 134,491 million dollars, after the strong push of 2019, it is assumed that to source components, as seen in the graph below .
By divisions, the carrier business, of telecommunications equipment, represents 34% of the total, with a virtual stagnation (0.2%) while the consumer (basically smartphones) represents more than half of the total, 54, 2%, with 3.3% growth. The healthiest business is business, with a 23% increase and which already represents 11.3% of the total. The chapter of "others", which shrinks by a third, is practically negligible for the magnitudes that Huawei handles.
It must be borne in mind that these results for all of 2020 mask what happened in the fourth quarter, where Huawei's best-known, most representative and probably profitable business, the consumer one, was severely affected by the US embargo. Huawei's smartphone sales collapsed in the last quarter in Europe, because the new models could not carry Google's mobile services, and the company had to ration the components it had in stock due to the difficulty of buying new ones, especially those. Kirin chipset manufactured by TSMC and which had driven the sale of the company's smartphones.
Throughout this year 2021, it is presumable that the consumer division will drastically reduce its turnover, due to the lack of enough components, and the smaller sale of Huawei smartphones will be covered by its Chinese competitors, as Xiaomi is already doing. , Oppo, Vivo and many others, in Europe and especially in China. In any case, as seen in the geographical distribution of Huawei's businesses, China represents no less than 65.6% of all the company's revenues, with growth last year of 15.4%. EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) accounts for 20.3%, with a drop of 12.2%, while Asia Pacific as a whole represents another 7.2% of total revenues and a drop of 8.7% . Revenues in America continued to be very meager and fell by a quarter, so a greater embargo on its products in the United States hardly affects it.
Strong foundation in China and weak in Europe
Huawei's business is linked, and will continue to be, to the sales made in its domestic market, which is otherwise immense and dominating, especially in the sale of telecommunications equipment. Its main competitor is another Chinese company, ZTE, although Ericsson won a significant order for the next three years from China Mobile a few months ago, after Nokia threw in the towel and did not go to tender. What remains to be elucidated is what will happen this year and the next with Huawei's carrier business in Europe, which was 180,849 million yuan, a not inconsiderable 27,870 million dollars.
Huawei's position in China, a market as huge as it is difficult for a foreign company to penetrate, allows it to face the future with sufficient confidence. In fact, Eric Xu came to say that with the Chinese market Huawei already covers its needs. This does not mean that the company does not want to continue doing business and selling telecommunications equipment to European operators. The recent opening of a research and development center near Paris and the announcement of another center in Great Britain (although the latter has little chance of succeeding) demonstrates its interest in continuing to sell telecommunications equipment and increasing it if possible.
For the European Union, and especially for Germany, the sale of technology to China is a priority; Hence, last December 30, in extremis, a trade agreement was signed between the European Union and China, which should now be ratified by MEPs and there are doubts that it will be done, at least under the agreed terms, by the opposition from many members. The United States is totally against Europe's agreement with China, which could jeopardize the renewal of the bilateral treaty that the European Union is negotiating with the United States, now without Great Britain.
"The unjustified US sanctions against Huawei and other Chinese companies are creating an industry-wide supply shortage and could trigger a new global economic crisis," warns Eric Xu.
Despite the fact that the issue of Huawei 5G equipment purchases by European operators has been under discussion for months, a clear position has not yet been adopted, especially by Germany. Many Deutsche Telekom 4G stations, almost half, work with Huawei equipment and their upgrade to 5G requires that they continue to use equipment from the same manufacturer, according to specialists. The official position of Europe is that the 5G equipment that is installed from now on is safe, an imprecise condition and difficult to assess. For now, the situation is not of extreme urgency, because until next year and thereafter there will not be a strong deployment of 5G networks in Europe, but it should be clarified as soon as possible, such as the agreement of the European Union with China and, therefore, with Huawei.
Huawei believes that Biden will maintain the embargo
At the analyst conference, Eric Xu assured that Huawei's future strategy is based on the assumption that the United States, and its current president, Joe Biden, will keep his company on the so-called Entity List, which restricts its access to technologies. Americans, for a long period. The inventory that Huawei has for the business-to-business segment is currently sufficient, "but it will not last for long," he said, without giving further details. Xu added that other Chinese companies are concerned that the same thing happens to Huawei, so he believes that this will encourage many companies to invest in the manufacture of chips to meet the needs of Huawei and other Chinese companies, without violating the restrictions. Americans.
Huawei's solution to this conflict involves allocating immense resources to developing software that allows Huawei's telecommunications networks to function without major problems with less sophisticated and complex chips and equivalent features. In a smartphone, it is vital that the chips are tiny and with great integration of functions, because the terminal must be small, but in a radio station the size is not so important and similar features can be achieved without so much integration, especially if very advanced software is developed.
Just two days ago, Nokia's head of technology and strategy, Nishant Batra, assured in a virtual meeting that "it is important that the entire industry is clear that the future of 5G networks lies in the software and not just us as suppliers [ of telecommunications equipment] ". For Batra, the use of the cloud and disaggregated and virtual networks in the coming years is also essential. In addition, software in networks must be deployed quickly and focused on specific business use cases, with agreements based on the service provided and not so much on the type of networks used, he stressed.
The investment in software engineering that Huawei will make over the next five years should allow the company to be more resilient and its products more competitive. This investment in software will add to the colossal sum you already invest in research and development. Last year, Huawei allocated 15.9% of its total turnover, 21.7 billion dollars, to R&D.
Reinvent itself as a software company
In late 2018 the company approved a $ 2 billion plan to increase its software development capacity. The idea of empowering software, therefore, is not new. What is relevant is the announcement that the company wants to reinvent itself as a software company that serves all types of industries through its telecommunications networks; networks, in addition, that will have much more benefits thanks to the refined software and not so much to the use of microelectronic components.
This mutation from a manufacturer of telecommunications equipment to a provider of telecommunications solutions should allow Huawei, according to the strategy outlined by Xu, to enter many other business segments, particularly the automotive industry. Xu assured that they will invest 1 billion dollars this year in the automotive business, with the main focus on components for intelligent vehicles and platforms for autonomous vehicles.
Huawei's plan is not to build or assemble cars, as Xiaomi, a Chinese smartphone maker that has just overtaken Huawei in this business, has announced, but to supply technology to make cars more autonomous and safer. And it explicitly cited Chinese carmakers GAC Group and Great Wall Motor. He also confirmed that it has partnered with luxury electric car maker Arcfox and will demonstrate its smart guidance technology this Saturday at a trade show in Shanghai. It is not ruled out that Huawei uses the "Huawei Inside" logo, which has made Intel so successful for nearly twenty years on personal computers.
Looking to 2030, a future that is closer than it seems, Xu enunciated nine technological challenges for a "smart world", among them the definition of an improvement of the 5G standard, baptized by Huawei as 5.5G and by others, like Nokia, like 5G +, characterized by higher upload bandwidth, low deterministic latency and antennas with higher dynamic bandwidth and higher resolution in the positioning of objects. The development of optical components, to increase the capacity of fiber optics, is another challenge for Huawei and the telecommunications industry in general.
More expensive products and chips in the coming years
Xu made a special mention in his speech to the serious deterioration of the global supply chain that unleashed the presidency of Donald Trump and that Joe Biden believes that he is willing to maintain. "Clearly, the unjustified US sanctions against Huawei and other Chinese companies are creating an industry-wide supply shortage [of products and components] and could even trigger a new global economic crisis."
Coincidentally, these words from Huawei were spoken a few hours before Joe Biden held a summit with the virtual assistance of US leaders from the semiconductor and automotive industries to analyze the current shortage of chips for car manufacturers and try to ensure that The United States makes more chips in its territory, without even a statement being issued at the end of the meeting.
For the incumbent president of Huawei, the US trade restrictions on Huawei have not only hurt his company but have also deteriorated the relationship of mutual trust that existed in the global semiconductor supply chain. Now, he added, each country is trying to build its own chip factories to become more self-sufficient rather than trying to reestablish global supply chains.
This, Xu warned, can represent an extraordinary investment of at least 1 trillion dollars (1 trillion), which will cause the prices of semiconductors to rise between 35% and 65%, and, ultimately, will have an impact on products. of end consumers. And he recalled that a company has already sent a letter to its customers telling them that it will raise prices and cancel the discounts for next year (in reference, without mentioning it by name, to TSMC).
The sensation produced among analysts by the words of the current head of Huawei (because the position is rotating) is that Huawei has sufficient means to face the sanction imposed by the United States, thanks, especially, to the immense size of the Chinese market, but with a serious loss of its current very competitive position in the international telecommunications market; not in the Chinese market, which will continue to lead.
It also appears that the United States wants to keep up the fight against Huawei and other Chinese companies in the coming months. The question that hangs among many analysts is whether the United States can continue to maintain it, given the serious breakdown of the global logistics chain that has been organized, whose epicenter is precisely in China and controlled by Chinese companies, which supply most of consumers.
Ultimately, everything will depend, analysts also consider, on the position adopted by the Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jin Ping, because there is little Huawei can do, apart from resisting. The speech delivered in Alaska by a very senior Party leader and the Wall Street Journal cover story last Tuesday, with the headline: "Message from Beijing to America: Now We Are Equal," does not invite optimism.

Marilyn's (and Jane's) Little Red Numbers
marina72 May 29, 2021 November 16, 2021 Fashion and Beauty, Movies, Public Appearances
These identical sequined gowns are named among 20 of Pop Culture's Most Show-Stopping Red Dresses by Mary Sollosi in Entertainment Weekly. Other classic Hollywood notables include Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind, Judy Garland in Meet Me in St. Louis, and Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face.
"The bubblegum pink William Travilla sheath worn by Marilyn Monroe during her iconic performance of 'Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend' might be Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' most celebrated look, but we'd be remiss to overlook these ruby-red showgirl dresses worn by Monroe and Jane Russell to open Howard Hawks' subversive musical comedy. Glittering in the slit-to-there gowns, the duo delivers an efficient statement of purpose with the number 'Two Little Girls from Little Rock,' which clearly establishes the gold-digging M.O. that makes 'Diamonds' sparkle so brilliantly at the film's climax."
Marilyn also favoured red for a grand entrance offscreen, such as these Oleg Cassini gowns and a Dorothy Jeakins prototype for the pink dress in Niagara.
In later years, Marilyn preferred a more casual style, but kept up the sex appeal in photo sessions with Nahum Baron and Milton Greene. And for a party in her honour at Romanoff's, she borrowed the strapless gown worn by co-star Mitzi Gaynor in There's No Business Like Show Business.
And finally, this gown – worn by Marilyn to the London premiere of husband Arthur Miller's play, A View From the Bridge, in 1956 – is also red, although no colour photos from that night have yet emerged.

Dart programming language and its advantages
July 18, 2021 by Soject
Google has at least one product in almost every area of technology. For example, In 2011, Google entered the field of programming languages to gain a share of this market. Dart's programming language is, in short, Google's solution to common JavaScript problems. Google itself mainly used the darts language and It wasn't prevalent among programmers for a long time. However, after introducing the Flutter framework and the ability to build mobile apps with darts, developers gradually welcomed this language. In this article, we look at what a dart programming language is and what you can do with it; Stay with us.
What is Dart Programming Language?
The variety of programming languages has grown so much that it has become difficult for programmers to trust a new One. It is always confusing for developers which language to learn from a turbulent ocean of ever-increasing programming languages. To answer this question, you should know your needs. What do you expect from a language, and what do you want to do with it? Meanwhile, one of our choices is the Dart language.
Dart is a relatively new programming language that, as mentioned, was introduced by Google in 2011. Dart uses a BSD license and is accessible to the public. The language was unveiled and raised in one of the most beautiful cities in Denmark, and it took two years for version 1.0 to be released. In 2018, Google released the second version of this language, which was associated with significant changes. This language is multi-purpose, and you can use it to create a mobile application, write software for the desktop, or design a site. It also supports object orientation, and you can experience OOP programming with Dart.
Many computer experts consider C to be the mother of all programming languages. They believe learning C prepares people's minds to enter the world of programming. Meanwhile, one of the main advantages of darts is that it is based on the C language. So, if you have already programmed with C-based languages like PHP or JavaScript, learning darts will be enjoyable.
Dart Vs. Java Script
The Dart programming language is very similar to Java and C Plus in terms of Syntax. Using this General Purpose language, both server-side and client-side programs can be written. The dart language compiler is available within the Dart SDK or virtual dart machine. This SDK also has a tool called -dart2js that generates the JavaScript equivalent of your code. A prerequisite for learning darts is mastering objectivism. Using darts and with the help of Flutter, you can write mobile applications for all operating systems.
What are the advantages and limitations of the Dart programming language?
Dart is a high-level, interpretable language that Google's support, along with a number of up-to-date features, has made it popular with programmers. This language is known as an alternative to JavaScript. The use of this language increased when Google introduced Flutter in 2017 with the aim of adding mobile programming capabilities. Like all other phenomena in the world, this phenomenon has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Easy to learn – especially for programmers familiar with JavaScript
Existence of accurate and detailed educational documentation by Google that leaves no room for ambiguity
Powerful and fast performance of applications written with darts running
This language is highly stable and supports various interfaces.
Darts uses AOT and JIT simultaneously, which is unprecedented among all languages.
Installation and use of darts are straightforward and smooth. With the Dart pad, you can easily write and execute code.
Darts have just entered the world of programming, which is why you do not see a large community around you when coding with it. However, having a community of programmers around allows novice questions and problems to be solved quickly.
Despite the popularity of the language in recent years, the demand for dart programmers in the job market is still not as high as that of Java or C # programmers.
Darts still have work to do. Experts do not yet consider this language complete and recognize it as an evolving language.
Lack of native support for applications. It is the programmers' task to provide native support in popular browsers.
In general, we can not be happy with its strengths and consider dart the best programming language. On the other hand, is it not reasonable to reject it due to its weaknesses. However, Dart is easy to learn and a privilege for programmers.
Dart Programming Basics
Like all programming languages, dart has its own basics in terms of data types and commands. Our goal in this article is to provide basic training on dart language. So, let's start with Data types in dart.
What are data types in the Dart programming language?
One of the first issues in a programming language is data types. For dart, the data types include:
They are used in two types, Integer and Double. Integer, denoted by Int, contains integers and non-decimal numbers. On the other hand, double covers decimal numbers.
You can use it to work with a string of characters (name, address, etc.). When using the keyword String, you will have a series of UTF-16 units. To access UTF-32, we must use Runes.
Booleans
Boolean only supports two values: True and False. You can use this variable when you need to make sure that property exists.
Lists and Maps
These two types of data are defined for working with a set of objects. A list is a set of objects that are arranged in order. It is actually equivalent to the concept of the array in other languages. On the other hand, the map covers a set of data as key/value.
Dynamic Variables
Darts impose fewer writing restrictions on coders. If the type of variable is not explicitly specified, we are dealing with dynamic variables. Dynamic variables are opposite to explicit types whose exact type is defined.
Defining variables in dart
While defining a variable in dart, we have some options. First of all, are the types we mentioned in the previous section that help you determine an explicit type. In this case, that variable can receive any value as long as its type is correct. Another type, as we said, is Dynamic Variable Type, which can take any matter of any type after definition.
Another way is to define a variable with the var command (derived from variable). This variable can take any type of data. However, after primitive quantification, you can not change its type anymore. Furthermore, you can use Final and Const commands to define fixed values.
Operators in Darts
An expression is a command that leads to a final value. It consists of two parts:
Operands: The part that represents data.
Operator: Specifies the operation performed on the data to reach the final value.
In a simple example, when we add two to three, 2 and 3 are operands, and the + sign is Operator. The types of operators in darts are as follows:
Arithmetic Operators
The four basic mathematical operations along with different types of division, addition, and subtraction
Equality and Relational Operators
Symbols of less than, greater than, equal to, greater than or equal, and less than or equal
Type test Operators
This operator tests at runtime whether the object has that particular type of data.
Performs AND, OR, XOR, NOT, left shift, and right shift operators on memory cells (bits).
Assignment Operators
Assigns the value to the left to the right of the operator.
Executes the main logic operators (And, OR, and NOT) on the condition of the query
Functions in darts
The functions in Dart are very similar to those in CplusPlus and Java. In the Dart programming language, functions are defined by a series of parameters and a return value to be called in a part of the program. Since Syntax Dart is very similar to Java and CplusPlus, we will suffice to mention just two examples.
Example 1: Landa function (Arrow function)
The output of this function will be Hello 123.
Example 2: Recursive function (factorial calculation 6)
The output of this function will be 720.
Dart programming language is an emerging and young language that Google supports. Although it was initially Developed for fast single-page web application development, the language found a new use in app development for all popular mobile operating systems in 2017 with the introduction of Google's Flutter.

Final Fantasy XIV: Realm Reborn Preview
Published on 09.24.2012 by Andromeda
September 30, 2010 Final Fantasy XIV was launched worldwide on the PC. However, the release was burdened by an unprepared and incomplete product. In order to fix the mistakes of the original product, much of the content was changed with additional new content added. The improvement originally just titled as Version 2.0 was officially renamed "A Realm Reborn". This preview will focus on the new content and improvements made to the game rather than the existing content.
The best starting place for new content is the Job System. The Job System adds to the Armoury System that currently exists in the game. The best way to think of the Job System is as an advanced job that becomes available the required job in the Armoury System is leveled up. Each of the jobs in the Job System has a required Armoury System job. As an example, the Pugilist is required to become a Monk.
The unveiled jobs currently are Paladin, Monk, Warrior, Dragoon, Bard, White Mage, Black Mage and Summoner. These jobs have been titled using familiar names that any FF fan should recognize. Something that the Armoury System originally created some dissonance with some fans due to the unusual naming convention.
Each of the jobs in the Job System have unique skills that can only be used while you are that job. This is different from the Armoury System where the skills learned from those jobs can be used across any selected job.
Moving to the combat system, it was recently showed at Gamescom the new Limit Break system. While in a party there will be a special meter that is built up by all of the party members. It is said that teamwork and cooperation will increase the meter faster than independent actions. When the meter is filled one of the party members can use the meter to unleash a powerful Limit Break that is unique to the job. The one known Limit Break is Meteor for the Black Mage.
It has been revealed that there will be more than chocobos for mounts in the game. Currently, chocobos have been showcased for the game, but they will be revealing more to come at a later date. It is likely that they will be using familiar creatures from the FF mythology.
A new housing system will be available as well. The system will offer different themes for the player's plots of land for their house such as wilderness, sea and forest. The player will have the option to purchase land for their house with some being very expensive. The player's house can be customized with different parts and even furnished to suit each person's tastes. In the future, there will be specific updates for the house system to continue to expand the features.
In the coming months, players can look forward to several benchmarks. The standard benchmark will let you experience the game and how your PC will handle it. Additionally, there is going to a character creation benchmark allowing the players to experience creating your own character in the game. There is the chance that the character made in the benchmark can be imported into the game proper, but this is still something that they are considering.

Applause! Applause! Review of Maggie's Little Theater production of Something's Afoot at St. Margaret's Parish Hall by Dr. Thomas Robert Stevens
This review of Maggie's Little Theater production of Something's Afoot at St. Margaret's Parish Hall was written by Dr. Thomas Robert Stevens and published in Volume X, Issue 7 (2017) of the online edition of Applause! Applause!
Book, Music & Lyrics by James McDonald, David Vos & Robert Gerlach
Additional Music by Ed Linderman
Direction & Choreography by Whitney Stone
Musical Director: Sarah Glassman
St. Margaret's Parish Hall
66-05 79th Place
Middle Village, New York 11379
Something's Afoot premiered at the Alliance Theater in Atlanta, Georgia in 1972. It eventually made its way to Broadway opening at the Lyceum Theatre on May 27, 1976 and closing on July 18, 1976 after 61 performances and 13 previews. It subsequently ran in 1977 in London at the Ambassadors Theatre for 232 performances and was nominated that year for the Olivier Award for Best Musical of the Year. It is a murder mystery musical that spoofs detective stories in general and the works of Agatha Christie (i.e. And Then There Were None a/k/a Ten Little Indians), in particular.
This production of Something's Afoot is charmingly performed by a dedicated cast of talented actors. The show is quite entertaining and I strongly recommend you see it. While there will be murder, as you might expect, the play also features love (lost and found), bravery, greed, infidelity, gruesome dismemberment, sexual assault, and more than a few cups of tea consumed (after all, the show is set in England in the late Spring of 1935). Between deaths, you will hear some lovely musical numbers, my favorites which included "A Marvelous Weekend," "Something's Afoot," "Carry On," "I Don't Know Why I Trust You (But I Do)," "Suspicious," "Problematical Solution (The Dinghy Song)," "I Owe It All," and "New Day." Miss Tweed, the elderly amateur detective, will do her best to help you solve the mystery and during intermission, you can speculate who might be doing what to whom while you consume reasonably priced baked goods, hot dogs, and refreshments. The set is beautiful and well-constructed, and the six live musicians add to your enjoyment of the show. All is all, if you attend, you will have quite a delightful time!
As for the plot, a number of people start to arrive who have been invited to spend the weekend at Lord Dudley Rancour's mansion, which is surrounded by a lake. When the wealthy lord is found dead, a storm prevents the remaining guests from leaving. A mysterious lad appears and we start to learn more about the backgrounds of the staff and invited guests. The only thing I can tell you (because I have been sworn to secrecy) is that Clive, the butler, played by Jim Gillespie, did not do it. That would have been too much of a cliche. The remaining staff includes Lettie, the saucy maid (Amelia Johnston) and Flint, the caretaker (Jason Kell), who is also a "gripper" (Ladies Beware!). Guests include Dr. Grayburn, the family doctor (Rich Feldman), Nigel Rancour, the black sheep nephew (Navin Das), Lady Grace Manley-Prowe, The Grande Dame (Beatrice Miranda Holman), Colonel Gillweather, the old army man you can call Shirley (Mark York), Miss Tweed (Shana Aborn), Hope Langdon, The Ingenue (Kaitlyn Alexandria Abdul), and Geoffrey, the college student who is the only uninvited guest (Ryan Hiers).
Miss Tweed is given the best lines in the show, which included, "Nothing is simple when murder is involved" and "Even the hardest criminal can, on occasion, display charm." She also gets to say "Something's Afoot" while literally holding a shoe, the only remaining piece of clothing belonging to one of the dearly departed. Shana Aborn excelled in the role of Miss Tweed even though her voice may not be as strong as it once was. The standout performers in this production were Kaitlyn Alexandria Abdul, who played Hope, and Ryan Hiers, who played Geoffrey. Ms. Abdul moved well on stage and was quite engaging. Mr. Hiers is very charismatic and talented. I look forward to seeing more of his work. The remaining cast members all did a fine job. If I were to nit-pick, I would say that Mark York was about twenty years too old to play the part of Col. Gillweather and that Navin Das, who sang "I Know What I Am Looking For" left a lot to be desired. But overall, the cast carried out their respective roles well and the production turned out to be a huge success.
Something's Afoot will be at Maggie's Little Theater through March 26, 2017. Tickets cost $20.00 for adults, $15.00 for seniors, and $12.00 for children. You can make your reservations by visiting www.MaggiesLittleTheater.org. Don't miss this show or forget to say, "God Bless You, Agatha Christie!"

F. Fake bullions
In Isart people don't die. There are n gangs of criminals. The i-th gang contains si evil people numerated from 0 to si - 1. Some of these people took part in a big mine robbery and picked one gold bullion each (these people are given in the input). That happened 10100 years ago and then all of the gangs escaped to a remote area, far from towns.
During the years, they were copying some gold bullions according to an organized plan in order to not get arrested. They constructed a tournament directed graph (a graph where there is exactly one directed edge between every pair of vertices) of gangs (the graph is given in the input). In this graph an edge from u to v means that in the i-th hour the person of the gang u can send a fake gold bullion to person of gang v. He sends it if he has some bullion (real or fake), while the receiver doesn't have any. Thus, at any moment each of the gangsters has zero or one gold bullion. Some of them have real bullions, and some of them have fake ones.
In the beginning of this year, the police has finally found the gangs, but they couldn't catch them, as usual. The police decided to open a jewelry store so that the gangsters would sell the bullions. Thus, every gangster that has a bullion (fake or real) will try to sell it. If he has a real gold bullion, he sells it without problems, but if he has a fake one, there is a choice of two events that can happen:
The person sells the gold bullion successfully.
The person is arrested by police.
The power of a gang is the number of people in it that successfully sold their bullion. After all selling is done, the police arrests b gangs out of top gangs. Sort the gangs by powers, we call the first a gang top gangs(you can sort the equal powers in each order). Consider all possible results of selling fake gold bullions and all possible choice of b gangs among the top gangs. Count the number of different sets of these b gangs modulo 109 + 7. Two sets X and Y are considered different if some gang is in X and isn't in Y.
The first line contains four integers n, a and b (1 ≤ b ≤ a ≤ n ≤ 5·103) — the number of gangs, the constants a and b from the statement.
Then n lines follow, each line contains a string of size n consisting of zeros and ones. The j-th character in the i-th of these lines is equal to 1, then the vertex i have a directed edge to the vertex j. It is guaranteed that aii = 0 and aij + aji = 1 if i ≠ j.
Then n lines follow, each line starts with the integer si (1 ≤ si ≤ 2·106) — the number of gangsters in the i-th gang, and then contains a string of zeros and ones with length si. The j-th character is 0 if the j-th person of the i-th gang had a real gold bullion initially, otherwise it is 1. It is guaranteed that the sum of si does not exceed 2·106.
Print single integer: the number of different sets of b gangs the police can arrest modulo 109 + 7.

Jake Gyllenhaal Praises (and Teases) Pregnant Natalie Portman
"She's a vegan, which makes it really frustrating when you're picking a place to eat," the actor jokes

You can't blame Natalie Portman for never having to endure an awkward ugly duckling phase, but it's getting to the point where the Black Swan star is enjoying an embarrassment of riches.
It's one thing to be glowing with a surprise pregnancy and engagement, but to have an ex sing your praises at an award show?
Before awarding Portman, 29, the Desert Palm Achievement Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, Jake Gyllenhaal was unabashed in his praise for his one-time girlfriend, whom he dated briefly years back.
PHOTOS: New Year, New Life! Stars' Big Changes
"Natalie is the Audrey Hepburn of our generation," the actor says, "She is elegant, graceful, has amazing eyebrows … is talented, really short, funny, smart, dedicated, incredibly kind."
But despite her attempts to prove otherwise, no one is perfect, and with Portman's fiancé Benjamin Millepied looking – and laughing – along, Gyllenhaal eventually got around to the "flaws" of this award season's it girl.
"She's a vegan, which makes it really frustrating when you're picking a place to eat," Gyllenhaal said with a laugh, before adding, "She's also recently announced that she's going to be a mom, and her child will probably need therapy after seeing Black Swan."

What the Coronavirus Act 2020 means for extradition proceedings
The Coronavirus Act 2020 ("CA2020") received Royal Assent on 25 March 2020, bringing into force a 358 page Act that creates not only new laws but amends existing legislation already on the statute books. The Extradition Act 2003 ("EA2003") is no exception; Section 54(b) CA2020 expands the availability of live links in Extradition proceedings through Schedule 24. Part 2 of this schedule makes amendments to s206A EA 2003. The effect of the amendment is to permit extradition hearings to be conducted via a live link, subject to an interests of justice test. Whilst other hearings in extradition proceedings, such as remand hearings, are conducted over a live link, s206A(1)(a)(i) EA2003 had previously specifically excluded extradition hearings from the type of hearing at which the use of live links was permitted. Any expansion to include extradition hearings had previously been opposed by many practitioners.
These are unprecedented times for the criminal justice system. The need for the courts to continue to operate is essential, but not to the cost to the health of those who appear before them, whether that be court staff, lawyers, Judges, defendants, witnesses or members of the press.
Westminster Magistrates' Court, the only court in England & Wales to hear extradition cases, continues to hear cases involving those arrested and produced before the court following an initial arrest. Many of those arrested and produced before the court for the first time will not have a lawyer and will benefit from the advice given by a duty solicitor, ordinarily present at the court. For the time being, whilst the requested person is produced in person to the court, the lawyer representing them has the ability to appear before the court via Skype for Business. Judges continue to appear before the court (if not self-isolating) and proceedings can commence and proceed.
As for extradition hearings where arguments are raised challenging extradition (and where evidence relating to those arguments is heard) it was anticipated they would be adjourned to an unknown date whilst the court grapples with balancing the interests of all involved in the proceedings to ensure compliance with the government's 'lockdown' directive. The amendments made to the EA2003 will now enable the Court to continue to hear extradition hearings with the use of live links. Whilst proceeding in such a way would enable lawyers, court staff, judges and requested persons to progress a case from the comfort of their living room (or wherever they choose to conduct the video link from), thereby conforming with the government's 'lockdown' direction, questions remain as to whether proceeding in this way will be in the interests of justice.
Looking at cases involving European Arrest Warrants ("EAWs"), the extradition procedure is designed to be a system of speedy surrender between Member States. The Council Framework Decision on the European Arrest Warrant ("Framework Decision"), which gave birth to EAWs, permits extradition to be exceptionally postponed temporarily for serious humanitarian reasons. The current outbreak of COVID-19 cases across Europe would surely qualify as a serious humanitarian reason. So a decision to adjourn extradition hearings at this time would be permitted. However, this would undoubtedly create chaos for the future listing of cases at Westminster Magistrates' Court. Further, consider those who are either remanded in custody in the extradition proceedings or subject to strict bail conditions (stricter than the current government lockdown). They are likely to want their hearings to be conducted as soon as possible rather than face lengthy adjournments.
Clearly a balance needs to be struck between these competing positions. The amendments to the EA2003 go some way to strike that balance. The use of live links for conducting extradition hearings can only take place if 'it is in the interests of justice'. No guidance has been provided as to what constitutes the interests of justice, and what factors a judge should consider in deciding whether to give a live link direction, so the usual considerations will likely apply.
Looking at the practicalities of conducting extradition proceedings over a live link, whilst the court and practitioners alike have started to embrace 'Skype for Business', concerns remain as to how an extradition hearing requiring interpreters, expert evidence, and multiple live witnesses giving evidence can be conducted smoothly without interfering with the ability of a requested person to receive a fair hearing in accordance with Article 6 ECHR. Many practitioners have experienced the difficulties of live witnesses giving evidence from other jurisdictions with connections being lost or interrupted by poor Wi-Fi connection, whether that be from the Court's side or the individual who is connecting to the court. Such interruptions undoubtedly impact on the quality of the evidence given by witnesses and may have an impact on the outcome of case. The quality of evidence given is imperative in cases that require a requested person to give live evidence before a judge where determinations on credibility can only be based on what a judge sees and hears. It is unclear how a live link can proceed if the requested person does not have the technology, or indeed technological knowledge, to connect to the court.
Further, given proceedings are conducted in accordance with the open justice doctrine, the press and members of the public must also be permitted to be present in these live link hearings. How such individuals will connect to a live link hearing without interrupting proceedings remains to be seen.
Whilst extradition hearings that only involve legal submissions could feasibly be conducted over a live link, careful consideration needs to be given before extradition hearings conducted over a live link become the norm and then continue after the end of the current health crisis. For the time being, the amendments made by the CA2020 expire 2 years beginning from the day on which it was passed. For however long the use of live links in extradition hearings is utilised for, a consultation should follow to ensure that live links are not simply rolled out beyond the end of the COVID-19 crisis without all those that participate in such proceedings (including requested persons) being able to provide feedback.
These are exceptional times and practitioners (and all those that use the criminal justice system) will no doubt be grateful to the accommodation the court has provided to ensure they do not have to attend court in person at risk to their own health. Equally, however, practitioners must ensure that justice is done to safeguard their clients' right to receive a fair hearing. If that means having to abandon and adjourn extradition hearings where the quality of the live link connection is far from sufficient, that seems a reasonable price to pay to ensure fair hearings take place given the importance of the outcome of extradition for requested persons and also victims of crime who await justice.

'Birthplace of Mexican Surfing' Declared Baja's First State Park
by Tony Butt on 2nd February 2022
Updated 361d ago
Surfers are an indicator species. I've been thinking about that phrase ever since I first heard it in 2005 when it was coined by Puerto Rican surf activist Ricky de Soto. It refers to the concept of surfers being on the 'front line', where environmental degradation often affects us before it affects other members of society.
You could also say that surf spots themselves are a kind of indicator species within all the natural elements that make up a coastal ecosystem. If the surf spot is affected by some kind of human intervention, such as pollution, sand dredging, concrete structures, there is a good chance that the same intervention will also affect other parts of the surrounding environment at the same time.
Therefore, if we protect surf spots, the natural surrounding elements they depend on will automatically be protected. And those natural elements will continue to provide a whole range of non-surfing functions, such as water quality, biodiversity and coastal stability. This is especially true in the case of extra-sensitive spots like rivermouths, beachbreaks and cobblestone pointbreaks, where the spot depends on a delicate balance of sediment supply, riverflow, rainfall and incoming swell.
One place where you can see this concept in action, is San Miguel in Baja California, Mexico. San Miguel is a quality righthand cobblestone pointbreak. It depends on just the right supply of sediment reaching the base of the watershed, which, in turn, depends on a healthy and uninterrupted river system. Anything that affects the biodiversity of the riverine system and the health of the river will also affect the wave – and will be noticed by the people who surf there – probably before the rest of the population.
That in itself is reason enough to protect it. But San Miguel is also really important for cultural reasons; it is the birthplace of Mexican surfing. So it would be a tragedy if anything happened to it.
Luckily, it has recently been declared a protected area.
© 2023 - Nacho Felix
The surfbreak at San Miguel, along with 67 hectares of green space and six kilometres of riverine ecosystem, has recently been declared the first State Park in Baja California. The project, which took several years to come to fruition, was spearheaded by Save the Waves along with local NGO Pronatura Noroeste.
Save the Waves has recently been focusing on protecting what are termed surf ecosystems. Surf ecosystems are not just the surf spots themselves; they include surrounding areas containing the physical systems that maintain the quality of the wave, and, importantly, safeguard the biodiversity and natural environment that the local population depends on.
The area upstream of the San Miguel surf spot – the Arroyo San Miguel – is important not only because the cobblestone pointbreak is highly sensitive to the riverflow and sediment deposition, but also because the creek is a riparian ecosystem that contains species unique to riverine areas. This helps to keep the river healthy, and helps to ensure clean drinking water for the local population.
The timeline of the project goes back to 2008, when it was decided that the best way to protect San Miguel would be to create a State Park. Later, Save the Waves and Pronatura Noroeste joined forces after Bahía de Todos Santos – which includes the surfbreak at San Miguel – was made into a World Surfing Reserve in 2014 (here). A campaign to gather public support was launched, including an online petition which got over 10,000 signatures and a huge number of letters of support to the Governor of Baja California. Finally, on 20th September 2021, the area was officially declared a State Park.
Hopefully the State Park will give San Miguel everlasting protection against human intervention. Which is great news, of course. Proper laws to stop humans destroying their own resource base are always good news. But I think we still have a long way to go. Ideally, every part of the coastline and every part of the natural world should be interfered with as little as possible. It should be left to get on with what it was evolved to do, without any help from us.
That should be the default condition. Then, if people want to build things like cities, airports and harbours, or want to remove huge areas of natural forest to plant genetically-modified monocrops, they should only be given permission to do so if it can be proven that the effects will be negligible. I know, that sounds a bit of a fantasy. But what is the alternative? Continue to destroy Nature until it is all gone?

Letter #43, 2019: A Surprise Encounter
An Encounter Today: Dr. Robert Moynihan with Archbishop Vigano
"Here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." —Hebrews 13:14
Today after a long journey I met Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano in a quiet place.
We greeted each other with joy and I asked him how he has been during the past year.
"Better than I deserve," Vigano replied, laughing, adding with a smile, "Cardinal Deskur used to answer that way."
He looks very good.
"So you have been well?" I asked.
"I have been well, yes, thanks be to God," Vigano said. "I have been visiting with various friends, and the Lord has given me good health to be able to continue my mission."
"You have not been seen for nearly a year," I said. "Have you been in hiding?"
"I have tried to live in silence," Vigano said, "avoiding the noise of the world."
"What would you like to say to those who have been wondering where you are and if you are safe?"
"I would say them that we priests and bishops are only human, with many deficiencies, as we try to carry out our duty to represent Christ."
"What is your deepest prayer?" I asked.
"My deepest prayer," Vigano said, "is 'Come, Lord Jesus.'"
Vigano suddenly fell silent as if filled with an unexpected emotion. His expression changed. His eyes began to glisten as if with incipient tears.
"You are weighed down with many thoughts," I said, trying to be supportive.
Vigano took a deep breath and began to speak.
"The memory is certainly one of the major gifts we have received from the Lord," he said. "He made us able to have impressed in our minds the most beautiful experiences that we have been living. And for me certainly, my memory is helping me, in the sense that one of the first memories that I have, was being carried in my mother's arms, when I was about two years old, down into a bomb shelter during the bombardment of Milan during the Second World War. There was a little image of Our Lady there, with a light, and we started praying the rosary, with all of my brothers. This deep, emotional memory of Mary left its mark throughout my life. I remember that in those years we prayed the rosary every evening after dinner, all together, my father being just back from his work, and able to pray with us, sustaining those of us who had started sleeping. I remember how beautiful that was, to pray all together to Our Lady, Our Mother. To be in my mother's arms and to be praying, in the shelter. So I am saying that a devotion to Our Lady has always been reassuring me, continually, from the beginning."

General Boy is a character created around 1975 by new wave band Devo. He is usually seen portrayed by Robert Mothersbaugh, Sr.,[1][2] the father of both Devo's lead singer Mark Mothersbaugh and lead guitarist Bob Mothersbaugh.
General Boy, along with his son Booji Boy, were first introduced in the 1975 short film The Truth About De-Evolution. Both characters have made numerous appearances in various short films, music videos, written propaganda and even concerts by the band.
Both characters were also incorporated into Devo's 1996 PC CD-ROM video game Adventures of the Smart Patrol (with Booji Boy being re-christened "Boogie Boy"). The booklet of the game claims that the Boys' true last name was Rothwell and that Booji Boy's true name was Craig Allen Rothwell.[3]
The game's booklet also contained more information about General Boy's back story:
General Boy's career as a military intelligence officer was cut short over his claim that he experienced an alien abduction. He was made to undergo psychiatric testing which resulted in progressive mental instability. Shortly after his son's transformation into Boogie Boy, he stopped answering to Mr. Rothwell and became General Boy out of love and sympathy for his son.

Gallery 2 – Archive	Qcc2Admin	2019-01-23T18:54:36+00:00
Qcc's on-line galleries have been growing organically since we first launched our website in 1998. Our intention has been to map Queer art from the perspective of the Bay Area. All of the artists presented in our Archive Galleries have either lived in San Francisco, have had a major exhibition here, or have been connected to the Bay Area in an interesting way. These galleries and archives were created by artist Rudy Lemcke.
Gallery 2 is an eclectic group of nationally recognized artists and writers.
Bill T.Jones
Bill T. Jones, a 1994 recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, began his dance training at the State University of New York at Binghamton (SUNY), where he studied classical ballet and modern dance. Mr. Jones became co-founder of the American Dance Asylum in 1973. Before forming Bill T. Jones / Arnie Zane Dance Company in 1982, Mr. Jones choreographed and performed nationally and internationally as a soloist and duet company with his late partner, Arnie Zane. In addition to creating over 50 works for his own company, Mr. Jones has received many commissions to create dances for modern and ballet companies including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Bill T. Jones remains today one of the most celebrated queer choreographers of the twentieth century. Harmony Hammond
Harmony Hammond is Guggenheim fellow and recipient of two NEAs, is an artist, art writer, and independent curator who lectures, writes, and publishes extensively on feminist and lesbian art, queer art, and the cultural representation of "difference." She co-edited the groundbreaking "Lesbian Art and Artists" issue of Heresies magazine in 1977 and curated the first exhibition of lesbian art in New York in 1978. Recently she curated "Out West" for Plan B Evolving Arts in Santa Fe. Her work was included in the 1995 exhibition "In A Different Light: Visual Culture, Sexual Identity, Queer Practice," at the University of California, Berkeley.
Derek Jarman (1942-1994)
Leading avant-garde British filmmaker whose visually opulent and stylistically adventurous body of work stands in defiant opposition to the established literary and theatrical traditions of his sometimes staid national cinema.Another side of Derek Jarman is seen in his elegant and emotional paintings which can be seen in Gallery 2. Glenn Ligon
Glenn Ligon was born in the Bronx, New York. His work includes paintings, drawings (stenciled text), and prints. In the mid-1980s Ligon started to use text in his work, taking paragraphs from well-known writers such as James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, Zora Neale Hurston, and Mary Shelly. (Over the past several years Ligon has also decided to include images such as family snapshots, images from magazines, and old furniture.)
Tee A. Corinne
"Trying to find ways to do lovemaking pics." Tee A. Corinne has created a large and lasting body of photographs of lesbian eroticism. She was a revolutionary, she did what no one had done before her – she made erotic art for lesbians from a lesbian perspective. "Every new generation of lesbian photographers who follow her look back on her work as some sort of norm – the basic lesbian photograph.
Tee Corinne's final body of work is represented in "Picturing Cancer in Our Lives," a tribute to her work and love in the face of cancer.
A true superstar, Sylvester represented the black and gay cultural origins of disco to mainstream America. His body of work includes crucial contributions to the disco songbook, but his ballads proved he was a versatile stylist who brought a realness and depth to all material.
Think: "You make me feel (mighty real)"
Bernice Bing (1936-1998)
A San Francisco native, Chinese American, artist, lesbian, community activist–Bernice Bing, 62, was a bridge between many worlds. She came of age during the Beat era and entered the San Francisco arts landscape in the 1960s with her paintings, which synthesize abstract modernist painting with Chinese calligraphy.With texts by Moira Roth, Diane Tani, Flo Wong, and Valerie Soe; we are very honored and proud to present the work of this important artist. John Bankston
John Bankston uses drawing and painting to explore imaginary narrative structures, such as fantasy, adventure stories, science fiction, fables, and folk tales. His aesthetic relies on the visual language associated with children's coloring books, but the imagery, subject matter, and characters shift the content of his works into the domain of adult concerns. By drawing on multiple sources, Bankston creates symbolic realms that combine innocence and transgression to reveal the constraints of normative values. Crossing boundaries, literally and metaphorically, he reinvents what is possible and transforms our idea of the world.
Acting Out: Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore
Acting Out, guest curated by Dr. Tirza True Latimer, differs from previous exhibitions featuring photographs of the Paris surrealist Claude Cahun in at least two significant aspects. First, the exhibition spotlights the collaborative dimension of an oeuvre conventionally attributed to Cahun alone. Many of the photographs described in recent catalogues and exhibitions as "self-portraits" were actually shot by Cahun's life-long partner, Marcel Moore, who alternated positions with her lover before and behind the camera's lens. Secondly, Acting Out situates this body of work with respect avant-garde theater in Paris, where Cahun and Moore were both spectators and performers throughout the 1920s. This significant context has been upstaged in recent scholarship by the later surrealist affiliation. Acting Out aims, then, to fill in the theatrical backdrop against which Cahun's photographic episodes were staged while restoring Moore to the scene of their production.
Romaine Brooks (1874-1970)
"Romaine Brooks (1874-1970) was an American born to wealthy parents in Rome. She spent virtually her entire life n Europe, mostly in Paris, but at various crucial points also in England and Italy, where she received her early training and arrived at her mature style. She moved in many elite social and intellectual circles, including those composed of American expatriates, European aristocrats, artists, and homosexuals."–Excerpt from the U.C. Berkeley exhibition: Amazon in the Drawing Room: The Art of Romain Brooks.Research and Information Design for the Romaine Brooks Project by Adrienne Rodriguez, Mills College, 2001.
Self Portraits: Francis Bacon (an on-line exhibition) curated by Qcc.Francis Bacon (1909-1992) is widely recognized as one of the most important figures in European art of the second half of the 20th century. From various sources on the web we have selected 16 self portraits spanning the years from 1956 to 1987.In June, 1999, The Legion of Honor (The Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco) hosted a Retrospective Exhibition of Bacon's important paintings. As a part of Qcc's continuing effort to document the work of important queer artists work we have provided a link to this exhibition as well as links to other online exhibitions and image resources for those interested in the work of this artist. Gladys Bentley
Gladys Bentley, the "Brown Bomber of Sophisticated Songs," a cross-dressing lesbian Blues singer of the Harlem Renaissance. In top hat and tails, she "homophiled" the lyrics of popular songs, as well as writing her own. Audiences of politicians, European royalty, and high society followed Black and gay customers from Greenwich Village to Harlem just to experience La Bentley from 1925 to 1940. The House un-American Activities Committee called her before Congress to recant her same-sex marriage in 1930, threatening to label her a deviant.

If the ocean could talk, what tales it would tell! From famous pirates to treasures on its ocean floor, and everything in between, the ocean is full of extraordinary facts! Among the five major oceans, the Atlantic Ocean is the second largest ocean in the world. The name "Atlantic" originated from the famous island of "Atlantis", according to Plato, the famous Greek writer. You will impress your friends and family with interesting facts about the Atlantic Ocean as you explore the fascinating trivia provided below!
The Atlantic Ocean is 31,660,446 miles wide. The Puerto Rico Trench, located seventy miles north of Puerto Rico, is the deepest part of the ocean. It drops down more than five miles (28,374 feet) below sea level. The trench, or slice in the sea floor stretches about 1100 miles to the east.
The first ocean crossed by an airplane and by ship was the Atlantic Ocean.
The first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean was Amelia Earhart in 1928.
A huge underwater mountain range called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, runs south of Iceland about ten thousand miles. It is wider than the Andes Mountains and splits the Atlantic Ocean north to south.
Greenland is in the north where the Atlantic comes together with the Arctic Ocean. It is the largest island in the ocean and ice covers most of the island. At times, icebergs will break off and move through the water.
The largest ship in the world during the early 1800's was the famous Titanic. The shipbuilders claimed it was "unsinkable", but in 1812, on her maiden voyage to America, the Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean after hitting an iceberg.
The Atlantic Ocean is much saltier than the Pacific Ocean.
The Tiger Shark, the most dangerous after the Great White Shark, is only located in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Great Atlantic Shark weighs about four tons and is the second largest in the world. There are around 450,000.
About one fifth, or twenty-one percent of the earth's surface consists of the Atlantic Ocean. The widest part of the ocean is between Mexico and Spain.
In the 1850's, the Cunard Cruise Line developed a line of steamers and began carrying passengers across the Atlantic Ocean. They are the pioneers of World Voyage Cruises. Today, the Cunard Cruise Line offers luxury vacations to the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Europe.
The Concorde, carrying up to one hundred passengers, was the first supersonic flight to cross the Atlantic Ocean at twice the speed of sound. It took less than four hours to cross the Atlantic.
The most mysterious area in the ocean is known as the Bermuda Triangle. Located off the southeastern coast of the United States, the triangle points are at the island of Bermuda, San Juan Puerto Rico, and Miami, Florida.
It covers about five hundred thousand square miles in the Atlantic Ocean. The mysteries began in 1945, when a group on United States fighter planes disappeared. Since that time, there have been many unexplained disappearances of ships, people, and aircraft. The mysteries still continue to be debated.
The Atlantic Ocean is home to the world's second largest barrier reef located off the coast of Mexico. It is called the Cancun Reef.
The highest tides in the world, around fifty feet high, occur at the Bay of Fundy, Canada. The bay is on the east coast of Canada and stretches from New Brunswick to Nova Scotia. The area of the ocean bay is one hundred seventy miles long.

Overreaching By Coastal Panel's Peter Douglas Should Lead To Ouster
by cpadmin | May 17, 2009 | San Diego County | 0 comments
UNION-TRIBUNE
Union-Tribune Editorial
Show him the door
The welcome final approval by the San Diego regional water board may not be the last hurdle that the proposed Carlsbad desalination plant must clear. Peter Douglas, executive director of the California Coastal Commission, wants one last stab at killing the project.
It is not enough for the commissioners to restrain Douglas. They must replace him with an executive director who abides by the limits of his authority and honors the commissioners' decisions instead of undermining them.
Poseidon's desalination plant, essential to San Diego's water future, is hardly the first project Douglas has assailed. It is, however, a prime example of his frequent overreaching and sly tactics.
Unable to stop the plant outright, he has delayed it inordinately in any possible way. He has forced Poseidon either to pay for studies done on his staff's behalf or wait years more for a permit. He has injected himself into the deliberations of other regulatory boards whose decisions he disliked. He has lobbied their staffs to dissuade their boards from approving the plant "" all after the Coastal Commission overruled Douglas' recommendation not to approve it.
Yet the desalination project survives, forcing Douglas' last-ditch effort to derail it on grounds already discredited: that Poseidon amend its coastal permit to increase its wetlands restoration because of an error corrected last year. That demand could not only push the limits of the project's affordability. Further delay could give sympathetic politicians time to appoint new commissioners of like mind to imperil the plant.
Unfortunately, Douglas retains the support of some commissioners despite a rebuke from the highest court in the land for interpreting the coastal protection law too expansively. He can count on environmental zealots thronging commission meetings to protest projects despite their wide public support. Over more than 30 years on the commission staff, 24 as executive director, he has successfully counted on friendly politicians to keep him in his post.
Any other panel formed to conduct the public's business would have long ago replaced an executive director who arrogated to himself the powers over decision-makers and residents that Douglas arrogates to himself. The California Coastal Commission should replace him, now.
