Microsoft Teams compliance – everything you need to know
Microsoft Teams Compliance can be complicated! This article has everything you need to know. Teams covers so many services you need to understand both Office 365 compliance features and the feature of each app.
Microsoft Teams Compliance is the processes around meeting legal, regulatory, or organizational policies. For example, regulatory compliance is:
 - Regulations imposed through laws or regulatory frameworks, typically dependent on jurisdiction.
 - Document example includes contracts, invoices, tax documents, employee files, and customer data.
 - Other examples include data residency and meeting specific certification requirements.
Microsoft Teams compliance covers many topics across the Office 365 feature set. This approach is because Microsoft Teams brings together many Office 365 apps and services into a single user interface. To understand compliance, we need to look at overall Office 365 features. These features cover most applications available in Office 365 that are accessible through Teams. We also need to look at the compliance functionality available in each application. It sometimes differs from the features available in Office 365 overall.
In this article, we are going to supply an overview of all the compliance features used by Microsoft Teams. Security and managing access to data is undoubtedly a vital compliance topic. Because we have so much to cover, we are going to focus on the non-security components of compliance in this post.
Here is what we will cover:
 1. Firstly, we need to understand where Microsoft locates Microsoft Teams data. Where we find the information is where the compliance magic happens.
 2. Next, we are going to talk about how Microsoft licenses compliance features and the overall certifications. This cover both Microsoft Teams and Office 365 have.
 3. Then, another hot topic, which is data residency and how to meet those requirements.
 4. Then the newest kid on the block. Microsoft Teams Information Barriers.
Read These Related Posts!
There are two other essential Microsoft Teams compliance topics that we will not cover today. The reason is that they are so vital that they have dedicated posts. These are:
 1. Office 365 Retention and Records Management: How to ensure content is kept for a proper amount of time and not prematurely deleted. Also, how to delete content permanently when appropriate.
Where is Microsoft Teams Data Located?
As you may know by now, there is no data that sits in Microsoft Teams. What happens is Teams stores the data in other services and then surfaced visually in the Microsoft Teams user interface. This architecture is why it is imperative to understand the data location for Microsoft Teams compliance.
As an example, you cannot put a retention policy on an entire Microsoft Team and have it cover all the files, conversations, and other data. You must think about each component that's in the Team and apply the compliance policy there.
As another example, if you want to apply retention to files in one-to-one chats, Teams stores them in OneDrive for Business. You would need to set a retention policy or a retention label to the user's OneDrive.
Microsoft Teams - Where is the DataWhere is Teams Chat Data Located?
A copy of Teams Chats are stored in user mailboxes for compliance and eDiscovery purposes. If you have a one-on-one chat with somebody, Teams stores a copy of the conversation in each user's Exchange mailbox. This information is in a hidden folder that can only be accessed by administrators and Office 365 search services.
A chat with a bot is technically the same as a chat with a human. Teams also stores a copy of these conversations in the hidden chat folder in each user's Exchange mailbox.
Where is Teams Channel Data Located?
When you create a Microsoft Team, a few services are also provisioned to support it. Firstly, it creates an Office 365 Group. This Group manages the permissions for the Team, and it also has an Exchange Group Mailbox. Additionally, it creates a SharePoint site for the Team. This location is where files will be stored.
Teams stores a copy of all channel conversations in the Exchange group mailbox. See the section below on the Chat Substrate for additional information related to the chats and conversation service. Teams treats posts in the channel conversation created by a connector or bot the same as any other conversation.
When a user shares a file or image in a channel conversation, then Team stores the file SharePoint. This location is where we manage Microsoft Teams compliance. The SharePoint site has a library called Documents, with a folder for each Teams channel. The files tab in each channel shows documents that are in the corresponding channel folder. Because of this, when we upload a document via Teams or the SharePoint user interface will always appear in both places.
Teams also stores emails sent to a Microsoft Teams channel in the Documents library, in the channel folder. When you submit the first email, Teams will create a new folder called Email Messages, within the channel folder.
In addition to files, there is a Wiki tab in each Microsoft Team. TTeams stores the wiki data in a SharePoint document library called Teams Wiki Data. Again, each channel has a folder inside this library, and then each wiki page is stored as a.mht file inside the channel folder.
If you create a OneNote for the Team, then it will be stored in the SharePoint site in the Site Assets document library.
Where is Teams Meeting and Call Information Located?
Calendar invites are a particular case because there is a copy of it that's in both the group calendar and exchange mailbox. There is also a copy in the user mailbox when they accept the meeting.
The Skype (or Teams) call itself is launched from the individual's Exchange mailbox, which includes both voice and video calls. After the meeting, Teams stores a summary in the user's mailbox. This location is where meeting and call information is managed for Microsoft teams compliance.
If you are using Microsoft Teams for VOIP calls, then all the information is driven from the user's Exchange mailbox. Firstly, contacts are stored, and the company directory is stored or accessed through Exchange. Secondly, Teams stores any voicemails or transcripts in the user's mailbox. Finally, the call history and summaries are also stored there.
Where is Other Microsoft Teams Data Stored?
Let us look at where Microsoft Teams stores other related data. We do this by breaking down this functionality into a list of features. We look at where the data is stored, and how you would apply Microsoft Teams compliance in the chart below.
If you are using Microsoft Teams with Exchange on-premises, please see this article. It details where Teams stores the data in these cases.
Other Teams Locations
Here are a few more details about the areas we have not yet discussed.
 - Third-Party File Integration: Teams can show files from a location outside of Office 365, such as Box or Dropbox. Compliance for the files would occur in the service for the location of the data, such as Box.
 - Planner: Microsoft Planner can help you manage tasks and projects. There currently is no compliance functionality for Planner. However, in the Microsoft documentation for Office 365 Retention, there is a note. It says, "[retention policy] Support for content in Planner…is coming soon".
 - Power BI: Power BI is a data dashboard tool. Given that, the data location is not Power BI, but in the database, Excel document, or another place where the data resides.
 - Stream: Microsoft Stream is where video from Microsoft Teams recordings is stored. There is no compliance or retention functionality available.
 - Yammer: There is no current Yammer functionality. But the note in the Retention documentation linked in the Planner bullet says it is coming soon.
 - Tabs: A tab simply provides a view into content located in an app or service. That service would govern the data displayed in the tab.
The Microsoft Teams Chat Substrate
For compliance purposes, it is essential to understand how Microsoft Teams processes chat data. Teams uses an Azure-powered chat service that technically stores chat and channel messages. Only a copy of chats and conversations are kept in the user mailbox for compliance purposes. By default, this service stores the information forever.
Because of this, you will need to use Office 365 retention policies to remove Teams chats and conversations data. Otherwise, if you only delete them from the UI they will still exist in the chat service and possibly the mailbox if the data is retained, where we can find it through Content Search for eDiscovery. Using an Exchange policy will not remove Teams chats and conversations data. For Microsoft Teams compliance purposes you will want to completely remove the data.
The diagram below is from the Microsoft article "Overview of security and compliance in Microsoft Teams."
Teams SubstrateHow Office 365 Compliance Features are Licensed
Next, let us look at how Microsoft Teams compliance is licensed. Office 365 licensing is essential to understand. This is because some of the features we refer to in this article aren't going to be available unless you have the right license. Some need either an E5 license or the Office 365 Advanced Compliance SKU.
The Advanced Compliance SKU is an add on that you can buy if you have Office or Microsoft 365 E3 license and you do not want to buy the entire E5 license. The Advanced Compliance SKU includes the compliance features we are discussing today. It does not include other E5 functionality.
Office 365 Compliance LicensingThe diagram above shows you what I consider to be compliance features. I got the image from Aaron Dinnage's GitHub project and modified it for this purpose.
Microsoft and Office 365 E3 Compliance Functionality:
 - Retention Policy includes basic retention functionality, such as creating retention labels and policies.
 - Data Loss Prevention protects sensitive data in SharePoint, Office 365 Groups, and OneDrive.
 - We cover Audit Logging in the linked article (coming soon).
 - We cover eDiscovery in the linked article (coming


The Indifferent Universe of Richard Dawkins
Richard Dawkins says at the end of chapter 4 of his book River Out of Eden, "The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference."
The phrase "at bottom" is likely intended to exclude the interpretation which would deny the existence of purpose and of good and evil in the obvious sense of such a denial. In other words, denying these things by asserting that there is no purpose at all in human life, and that nothing anyone does or accomplishes is good or evil. It would not even be necessary to argue against such a position. It is sufficiently plain to common sense that this position is false, and even apart from this, the moral reasons to believe it is false would be compelling. And in any case Dawkins clearly believes in the existence of evil in this plain sense.
Nonetheless, there are problems with the claim even in the "at bottom" sense. In order for it to be reasonable for him to maintain his position, he should at least be able to answer these two questions:
(1) If there is no good and evil "at bottom", why is there good and evil on the surface?
(2) Why do things tend to get better over time?
Developing the first question, why do human beings care about their own good and the good of humanity, if the universe at bottom does not? After all, human beings are a part of the universe. If the universe does not care, it would seem that human beings would not care either.
Or again: even if we can explain why human beings care about their own good, why do apples taste good? Apples could be good for health, and human beings could care about their health, without apples tasting good. It is almost as if the apples themselves cared about humanity.
Dawkins would likely attempt to respond to such questions by giving an evolutionary explanation. But while such explanations are surely a part of the truth, attempting to give a full response to such questions with such an explanation is bound to fail, because in the end it is a question of the working of human mind, and evolution cannot fully explain this.
As an example, consider the question about apples. If apples did not taste good, Dawkins might say, people would not eat them, and consequently they could not contribute to human health. And if similarly people did not eat any healthy foods, they could not survive. Evolution selected for people who could survive, and therefore for people who like the taste of health foods, including the taste of apples.
This may be all very well as far it goes, but the question has not yet been adequately answered. For we can still ask:
(1) Why do people eat things that taste good to them, instead of things that taste bad to them? If people normally ate things that taste bad to them, and rejected things that taste good, then evolution would have selected for people that eat healthy things that taste bad, and all healthy food, including apples, would taste bad to people.
(2) Why does food have any taste at all? Evolution could have easily selected for people who ate tasteless healthy food.
It is fairly evident that no evolutionary explanation will suffice to answer these two questions. The first question, about why people tend to eat things that taste good, rather than things that taste bad, is basically asking why people tend to do what seems good to them, rather than what seems bad. If people simply tended to do what seems bad to them, life would be like a dangerous roller coaster, where you are being "pushed along" on a path that you fear or dislike. But it is completely possible to imagine a life like this. It is not intrinsically absurd, and evolution is fully capable for selecting for such a thing, if it is possible at all. So the fact that this is not how things are, at least for the most part, is evidence that some explanation is necessary besides the fact of evolution.
The second question is similar, in the sense that it is asking why people's tendency to do things is related to something known to them, rather than being unconscious. Our heart beats without there being any conscious intention for it to do so. Why could we not equally well eat without any conscious intention and without noticing any taste?
There is a debate about whether philosophical zombies are possible. But this debate may well be a red herring, because it may simply be a distraction from the true issues. It is likely impossible for such a zombie to exist, but the entire argument for this conclusion consists in the fact that human beings are in fact conscious. No explanation has been given for why this must be so, except the explanation suggested by St. Thomas: that the generosity of God requires that form be present in every disposed matter. In particular, it is evident that evolution cannot explain why we could not do everything we do, without being conscious, because exactly the same selective pressures would have been at work throughout the entire process.
To put this in another way, if philosophical zombies are impossible, this is because the universe is not indifferent to mind. And what is not indifferent to mind, is not indifferent to good and evil.
Aristotle describes the progress of the knowledge of causes among the ancient Greek philosophers:
From these facts one might think that the only cause is the so-called material cause; but as men thus advanced, the very facts opened the way for them and joined in forcing them to investigate the subject. However true it may be that all generation and destruction proceed from some one or (for that matter) from more elements, why does this happen and what is the cause? For at least the substratum itself does not make itself change; e.g. neither the wood nor the bronze causes the change of either of them, nor does the wood manufacture a bed and the bronze a statue, but something else is the cause of the change. And to seek this is to seek the second cause, as we should say,-that from which comes the beginning of the movement. Now those who at the very beginning set themselves to this kind of inquiry, and said the substratum was one, were not at all dissatisfied with themselves; but some at least of those who maintain it to be one-as though defeated by this search for the second cause-say the one and nature as a whole is unchangeable not only in respect of generation and destruction (for this is a primitive belief, and all agreed in it), but also of all other change; and this view is peculiar to them. Of those who said the universe was one, then none succeeded in discovering a cause of this sort, except perhaps Parmenides, and he only inasmuch as he supposes that there is not only one but also in some sense two causes. But for those who make more elements it is more possible to state the second cause, e.g. for those who make hot and cold, or fire and earth, the elements; for they treat fire as having a nature which fits it to move things, and water and earth and such things they treat in the contrary way.
When these men and the principles of this kind had had their day, as the latter were found inadequate to generate the nature of things men were again forced by the truth itself, as we said, to inquire into the next kind of cause. For it is not likely either that fire or earth or any such element should be the reason why things manifest goodness and, beauty both in their being and in their coming to be, or that those thinkers should have supposed it was; nor again could it be right to entrust so great a matter to spontaneity and chance. When one man said, then, that reason was present-as in animals, so throughout nature-as the cause of order and of all arrangement, he seemed like a sober man in contrast with the random talk of his predecessors. We know that Anaxagoras certainly adopted these views, but Hermotimus of Clazomenae is credited with expressing them earlier. Those who thought thus stated that there is a principle of things which is at the same time the cause of beauty, and that sort of cause from which things acquire movement.
Thus, according to Aristotle, the philosophers came to the knowledge of an agent cause that intended the goodness and beauty found in things. And they came to this conclusion because the universe they observed did not have "precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference," but properties which would be much more likely to be observed if the universe is, at bottom, not indifferent to mind, and not indifferent to good and evil, despite the random talk of Richard Dawkins.
5 thoughts on "The Indifferent Universe of Richard Dawkins
 1. […] Sometimes a distinction is made between empirical and non-empirical knowledge, but in truth there cannot be a rigid distinction between these two things, because all of our knowledge is empirical, and thus there can only be differences of degree here. Thus for example the question of whether there is meaning in the universe might be considered a philosophical rather than an empirical issue, but we have given empirical reasons for thinking that there is.

Mynt //
How does Mynt work?
Learn the ins and outs about how Mynt works.
The basics for a new user
As a new user, you can get started with Mynt without understanding the technical details. Once you've installed a Mynt wallet on your computer or mobile phone, it will generate your first Mynt address and you can create more whenever you need one. You can disclose your addresses to your friends so that they can pay you or vice versa. In fact, this is pretty similar to how email works, except that Mynt addresses should be used only once.
Balances - block chain
The block chain is a shared public ledger on which the entire Mynt network relies. All confirmed transactions are included in the block chain. It allows Mynt wallets to calculate their spendable balance so that new transactions can be verified thereby ensuring they're actually owned by the spender. The integrity and the chronological order of the block chain are enforced with cryptography.
Transactions - Private keys
A transaction is a transfer of value betweenMynt wallets that gets included in the block chain. Mynt wallets keep a secret piece of data called a private key or seed, which is used to sign transactions, providing a mathematical proof that they have come from the owner of the wallet. The signature also prevents the transaction from being altered by anybody once it has been issued. All transactions are broadcast to the network and usually begin to be confirmed within 10-20 minutes, through a process called mining.
Processing - mining

Battle of the Kentish Knock
The Battle of the Kentish Knock (also known as the Battle of the Zealand Approaches) was a naval battle of the First Anglo-Dutch War fought on 8 October 1652 near the shoal called the Kentish Knock in the North Sea about 30 km from the mouth of the river Thames.
Dutch Admiral Maarten Tromp had been suspended after his failure to bring the English to battle off the Shetland Islands in August, and replaced by Admiral Witte de With, who saw an opportunity to concentrate his forces and gain control of the seas. He set out to attack the English fleet at anchor at the Downs near Dover on 5 October 1652, but the wind was unfavourable.
When the fleets finally met on 8 October, the United Provinces had 57 ships; the Commonwealth of England 68 ships under General at Sea Robert Blake. Action was joined at about 17:00. The English ships were larger and better armed than their opponents and by nightfall two Dutch ships had been captured and about twenty — mostly commanded by captains from Zeeland who resented the domination of Holland — had broken off the engagement. De With withdrew the rest of his force with many casualties.
The Dutch recognized after their defeat that they needed larger ships to take on the English, and instituted a major building program that was to pay off in the Second Anglo-Dutch War.

The Government of Canada introduced Securing an Open Society: Canada's National Security Policy (NSP), in April 2004. All levels of government must work together to prevent and respond to the threat of terrorism.
The National Security Policy included measures to address terrorist threats. One such measure was the creation of the Integrated Threat Assessment Centre (ITAC), which entered into operation on October 15, 2004.
In June 2011, ITAC was renamed the Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre in order to renew its focus on the terrorist threats to Canadians and Canadian interests.

Temperature transmitters and their importance
Temperature transmitters are above all used in the industrial sector. They were developed to enable the conversion of temperature-dependent voltage or resistance changes into other output signals. This includes the 4-20 mA or 0-10 V signals. These standardized signals can then be read by other electronic instruments. The transmission is reliable and fast and can also be carried out over longer distances. The development of temperature transmitters has made measurement considerably easier. The measuring values were previously transmitted via cable. It was not possible to process them until later.
There are a variety of points that may be of interest when it comes to selecting a model for industrial use:
- integrated humidity measurement sensors
- self-monitoring by the instrument
- presence of analog outputs
- long-term measurement stability
- accuracy of the measurements
Overview of temperature transmitters
Dew point transmitter
Temperature transmitters in use
The design of the temperature transducer enables it to record the temperature in special areas. This may be the temperature in cleanrooms, but also in other sections. To do this, you work with a temperature probe or an integrated sensor. The temperature is measured by the resistive sensors. This is when the real work of the temperature transmitter starts. The temperature transducer converts the results. They are emitted in a linear output signal. This may be 0-10 V or 4-20 mA.
The option of also using a humidity measurement transducer is interesting, as is that of looking for instruments which have integrated humidity measurement. Many products which can convert Celsius are also capable of measuring and converting humidity. This means one instrument can be used for different measurements. This saves in terms of financial outlay, but also of the question as to how the instruments can best be fitted.
The fields of application are versatile. Temperature transmitters are used particularly frequently where temperatures can have a major impact on products and also on areas. Cold stores are a popular example. Even tiny temperature and humidity fluctuations can cause easily perishable goods to suffer a loss of quality.
Temperature transducers with integrated alarm systems are therefore particularly popular. They have the advantage of emitting a signal when defined values are reached and therefore warn you if there are any fluctuations. For you as a user, this means you can respond quickly, within a short time. This enables the quality of the goods to be preserved.
In addition to the temperature transmitter and the humidity transmitter, there are also other transducers in use:
Temperature transducers and their integrated features
Temperature transducers are equipped with a variety of features. These features can definitely vary, depending on the instrument. If you simply just want to convert Celsius and then further process these data, you need instruments with less detailed features than those for measurements required in terms of long-term quality testing. Many transducers have two analog outputs, which enable temperature and humidity to be converted.
If you decide on a temperature transmitter which is mounted on the wall or on equipment, you should check whether it allows data reconciliation without disassembly. Another important point is the precision of the measurements. Just like other measuring instruments, the temperature transmitter also has different measuring ranges and small differences. The focus should be on precision, depending on how important a detailed measurement is.
The following are useful equipment features for a temperature transducer:
- high measurement precision
- alarm system
- additional measurements, such as humidity
Transducers and their advantages
The instruments which Testo has on offer, no matter whether they are humidity measuring instruments, differential pressure transducers or temperature transmitters, are not as a rule purely designed for measurement. They also have other advantages. This includes an integrated diagnostic function. Depending on the software that is installed, the instruments do not just measure values. Additional parameters are also checked. These may for instance be supply voltages or also feed line resistances. If faults occur here with the parameters, a signal is output.
Transducer with humidity measurement facility
The temperature transducer often also has an additional humidity measurement facility. This is above all used when the ambient conditions are critical. There are high demands when it comes to air conditioning technology. These have to be met in order to enable product quality to be maintained. High degrees of measuring accuracy which can be achieved with the transducer also mean the measurement of higher temperatures is definitely possible. However, irrespective of whether there is an integrated humidity measurement facility, there are also some advantages which a high quality Testo temperature transmitter can offer:
- versatile fields of application, such as automated building services
- high degree of measuring accuracy
- high level of reliability in terms of measuring results
- Problem-free monitoring of possible changes in temperature and ambient conditions
Finding temperature transmitters at Testo
If you are looking for a high-quality temperature transducer and do not want to accept any compromises in terms of the instrument, we have put together a selection of different models which you can rely on precisely for this. Testo thus has really classic temperature transducers which are used to transmit temperature data. At the same time, you have the option of deciding on a temperature and humidity transducer. The combination of these measuring instruments saves you expenditure, which may in some cases be high, and ensures ease of use. In production and process engineering, you can use the humidity and temperature transmitter for critical applications.

LAKEPORT -- Lake County residents learned firsthand about the ecology of the Clear Lake hitch, a native fish, and the petition to list the fish as an endangered species at a workshop on Monday evening.
The workshop was sponsored jointly by the Chi Council and the Lake County Fish and Wildlife Advisory Committee, The workshop, which was held in the Board of Supervisors Chambers in the courthouse in Lakeport, drew a full house with many of those in attendance wanting to know the current status of the hitch and the process the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service uses list them as endangered.
The Center for Biological Diversity filed a petition to list the Clear Lake hitch as endangered species on Sept. 25. The reason given was that surveys taken during the spawning runs have shown a dramatic decline in the number of fish migrating up the streams that flow into Clear Lake. John Ambrose, a fish and wildlife biologist and expert on endangered species, explained to the audience how the Endangered Species Act (ESA) works. He said that any group or individual can petition the FWS to place a species on the endangered list. The FWS has 90 days make an initial finding on the merits of the petition and whether the submission warrants a full status review. If the FWS decides that a species should be investigated the agency then has one year to determine if the listing is justified.
It can actually take longer than a year. Once a species is formally declared endangered
Greg Giusti of the University of California system gave a presentation on the ecology of the hitch. He said there are far fewer hitch today than there were 20 years ago. Giusti said there are a number of factors for the decline of the hitch and that they range from less plankton food for the hitch, poor spawning conditions to predation by other fish and birds.
The hitch is a member of the minnow family and has been in Clear Lake for thousands of years. They spawn in streams such as Kelsey Creek, Adobe Creek and other creeks that flow into the lake. At one time they numbered in the tens of thousands and were a valuable food supply for the local Indians. According to experts, the hitch population has been in a steady decline for more than 20 years.
The local Indian tribes have been doing hitch surveys and tagging in the spawning streams using FWS grant money. Their surveys also show the hitch numbers to be in a steady decline.

Asset pricing and climate policy are analyzed in a global economy where consumption goods are produced by both a green and a carbon-intensive sector. We allow for endogenous growth and three types of damages from global warming. It is shown that, initially, the desire to diversify assets complements the attempt to mitigate economic damages from climate change. In the longer run, however, a trade-off between diversification and climate action emerges. We derive the optimal carbon price, the equilibrium risk-free rate, and risk premia. Climate disasters, which are more likely to occur sooner as temperature rises, significantly affect asset prices.

In Brick (2005), Brendan got information about Emily, and according to information, he went to "coffee & pie Oh My!" to find Dode (and punched him to know more about Emily). Well, actually, Brendan never told Brain that he let Dode go back to theatre.
Brain: Why did you let Dode fly when he went back to, who's her name, at the theater?
Brendan: Kara. It's their turf. I couldn't hear them without being seen.
Then why did he ask Brendan about it?
Well, Actually Brendan never told to Brain that he let Dode to go back to theatre.
Brendan told Brain about him tailing Dode, and that Dode went to the theater, just before the scene started.
If you notice, at the beginning of the scene with Brendan and Brain talking, Brendan was pacing back and forth (as if he was already deep in thought), and Brain was already holding/examining the torn piece of paper with "A" looking symbol on it.
Also, the dialogue of the scene began with Brain asking investigate/analytic questions about the motivations behind Brendan's actions, and what else Brendan knew about the symbol on the torn paper, as if Brendan had just explained it all to him.
BRAIN: Know anything else about this?
BRENDAN: Mm. (shakes his head)
All of this suggests that, just before the scene began, Brendan was catching Brain up regarding what happened since their last meet up, with Brendan's main intent being to ask Brain about the symbol on the piece of paper. In order for Brendan to do so though, he first had to explain the series of events that led up to him acquiring the torn paper, which would have included:
 - Brendan's conversation with Laura at her party;
 - Interrogating Dode at the coffee shop;
 - Tailing Dode to see him first meet with Emily, and then go to the theater to speak with Kara;
 - Brendan meeting with Emily at his lunch spot;
 - Acquiring the torn piece of paper (that had the "A" symbol) that Brendan saw Dode give Emily.
Additional context:
In response to Brain's question as to why Brendan didn't follow Dode into the theater, Brendan explains that if he tried to eavesdrop on Dode and Kara's conversation, he would have been seen by someone and Kara would know about it. Instead, Brendan thought it was best to not interrupt their current actions/plans, and to see how things play out before making the next major move.
THE BRAIN: Slim pickings. Why'd you let Dode fly when he came back to whose-her-name, at the theater?
BRENDAN: Kara. It's their turf, I couldn't hear them without being seen, and that would only biff their play. Best to know it's there, let it ride and see what comes of it.

PEOPLE COME FROM ALL OVER TO JOIN THE TARTAN OF MODERN SCOTLAND: 24th October 2020
This is a great article by Christina McKelvie MSP focussing on the strength of our diversity in Scotland and the importance of talking about this history:
As far back as the Celts and Picts, people were coming to what is now Scotland. They have continued to come, bringing diversity and new cultures that have become an integral part of the beautiful tartan that is modern Scotland. That rich history also includes people from countries like Africa and Asia and their descendants. However, their stories aren't always told as part of our collective Scottish history. Black History Month champions the achievements and sacrifices of Black men and women and all people of African descent from around the world, and promotes vital discussion around issues such as racism, lack of equality and racial injustice.
Recently, the coronavirus pandemic and Black Lives Matter movement have shed a light on the inequalities that persist today, making it all the more important to actively celebrate black history rather than just acknowledging diversity. In Scotland we are determined to play our part in eradicating racism, inequality and injustice and building a better, fairer world, although we know there is much more that we can and must do. To do this, we have to properly look at our history and place it in the appropriate context.
To this end, in June the Scottish Parliament made a commitment to support the development of a museum of slavery and empire. To help ensure that this work is done in a way that reflects the communities that have been affected by these terrible histories, we've established a panel of independent experts in museums, culture and race equality. They will make recommendations about how Scotland's museums can represent a more accurate portrayal of Scotland's colonial and slavery history. This committee will be chaired by Professor Sir Geoff Palmer, Scotland's first black professor, to name just one of his major contributions to Scotland. But, as important as it is to understand the painful history of those who came to Scotland through the slave trade and empire, we have to recognise the positive, indelible contribution that they, and their descendants, have made to our country.
Education is a crucial part of our plan. Our curriculum provides opportunities for young people to learn about all aspects of history, heritage and culture of Scotland, including the role that Scotland played in the slave trade. But that is not enough. Under the leadership of the Education Secretary John Swinney, Education Scotland is looking at how to use existing teaching resources and developing further materials and professional learning, to teach about black heritage. Linked to this, we are also about to begin a programme of engagement with education and race equality stakeholders to identify how we can better support the teaching of Scotland's Black history and promote diversity across the curriculum in schools. We are also looking at how we can better meet the needs of the teaching workforce to enable them to do so. BY ensuring our young people have a strong knowledge of Scotland's past, we can help to make sure they understand the importance of tolerance and anti-racism in Scotland's present. Also, we have to acknowledge the effects that Covid-19 continues to have on our society. We know that some minority ethnic groups have been disproportionally affected by Covid-19, both in terms of health outcomes and wider impacts, including economically. To help build our understanding of this, and shape our response, we established an Expert Reference Group on Covid-19 and Ethnicity, which has already submitted its initial advice and recommendations. These include recommendations on systemic racism and structural issues, as well as data and health inequality.

The Japanese character 上 has a basic meaning of "up" or "above", and is pronounced "ue" when written by itself. In Kanji compounds, it is often pronounced as "uwa" (上着, uwagi) or "jou" (上陸, jouriku).
"上" does have some other usages, and this time I'd like to discuss the expression "〜上で". This can be used to mean result of something, given the condition specified by the "〜" part. This is explained in the Japanese dictionary as "…を条件に入れて, …した結果".
Here is one such example of that usage:
- I want to decide after properly studying it.
You also can use の上で after a noun to express a similar meaning, although there are a few set phrases that this pattern is commonly used with. Here is one:
- It's something I did with full understanding.
My translation above is somewhat literal, you could also say "purposefully" or "intentionally"
Another use of "〜上で" is similar to "when". It is commonly used when you want to talk about something that is necessary or important when doing something.
- In life there is only one important thing.
You can also use 上で to modify another noun with の.
- Thing(s) to be careful about during usage。 (sentence fragment)
上 can also be tacked on after some nouns, to represent some action that takes place "on" them. A common usage of this is ネット上, where ネット (netto) is a short form of "internet"
- Is there anything you can't do on the net?

According to some studies in rats, it can inhibit a fat producing enzyme called Citrate Lyase, making it more difficult for the body to produce fat out of carbohydrates (1). Other rat studies show increased levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin. This could theoretically lead to reduced appetite and cravings (2).
There are actually a whole bunch of studies in rats showing that Garcinia Cambogia consistently leads to significant weight loss (3, 4, 5, 6).

A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
There are several approaches to the treatment of diarrhea and therefore different types of antidiarrheal agents.
Oral rehydration agents are first line use as antidiarrheal agents. Maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance is very important.
Antibacterial agents can be used to treat diarrhea with confirmed bacterial cause, such as campylobacter. Otherwise antibacterial agents are not necessary in most cases of diarrhea.
Other agents used to treat diarrhea are antimotility agents or antispasmodic agents.

Einstein Mass Energy Calculator
Einstein's mass energy states the amount of energy possessed by an object is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light (c = about 3×108 m/s). The equation E = mc2 states that energy and mass are interchangeable among each other. Use our online Einstein mass energy calculator to calculate between energy, mass or speed of light based on the other two values.
Calculate Energy, Mass, Speed of Light in a Vacuum.
In other words, the equation states that any object that possessing mass has an equivalent amount of energy and vice versa. Use the Einstein mass energy formula given above to calculate the mass, energy and speed.

CIRCUS ARTS AMONG THE OTTOMANS
by Metin AND
The trained animals, and particularly, the wild animals that formed an integral part of the Ottoman circus, were attached to the royal palace. It was, therefore, what might well be termed a "state circus." Though known at aslanhane or lion-house, the imperial menagerie also contained elephants, giraffes, rhineceri and such like animals. In the 16th Century one can examine these in the light of information gleaned from contemporary writings and drawings. Most of these are by foreigners who, since there were no menageries in Europe at that time and illustrations were scarce, were seeing giraffes and rhinoceri and elephants for the first time, animals of whose very names they had a very uncertain knowledge. These animals were not, however, confined to the menagerie. They were also taken out into the streets and displayed to the populace. Trained in the same way as circus animals, they could give various types of performances. Above all, their skills were displayed to the populace in the great public festivities, as can be seen in the miniature contained in the festival books.
But such shows were not confined to such special occasions. In the 16th century in Istanbul, Tahtakale, near Beyazid was a permanent centre of entertainment rather resembling a circus where all types of displays were given. In this piece of open ground could be seen dancers, comedians, wrestlers, story-tellers, mimics, snake charmers and archers, while others showed their skills with donkeys, cats, deer, lions, bears, leopards, foxes and many other animals. The trainers had names in accordance with animals they worked with. For example, the donkey trainers were known as himarbaz, the bear trainers as ayibaz, the snake trainers as yilanbaz, and those who trained the monkeys, maymunaz. An interesting display arranged by maymunbaz was to have monkeys ride on the backs of goats. Domestic animals were trained to display incredible acts, even cats were trained to walk on tight ropes with balancing-poles as depicted in a miniature reproduced here. The most important however of the circus displays comprises of horses and their riders. Turks were expert horsemen and performed quite incredible acts.
There were also a rich variety of human performers in the circus, each performer having his own peculiar title. Here are a few of them: The canbaz (he who plays with the safety of his life of soul-stakers) These included those acrobat who climbed very high Byzantine columns in the Hippodrome or poles, on top of which they performed daring tricks. He is depicted in the miniature reproduced here. From his lodge watching them is Suleiman the Magnificent. Also in this group are tight-rope walkers or rope dancers, called more specifically rismanbaz (he who plays with ropes) who walked on ropes from one ship's mast to another, or sometimes from one minaret to another, balancing high above the crowd. These Turkish tight-rope walkers were famous not only in Turkey, but throughout the whole of Europe. They performed quite incredible feats, which aroused great admiration in Europe. For example, during the reign of King Henri II, they appeared at the Foire the Saint Germaine in Paris and at the Foire de Troies in Champagne. Turkish canbaz also performed in England during the reigns of Elizabeth and Charles I. A lithograph of the 18th century reproduced here depicts a Turkish tight-rope walker making his way along a rope stretched across the San Marco Square in Venice, in the writing referring to the picture the Turkish canbaz is described as a "daredevil."
The tumblers and equilibrists were of various kinds: Taklabaz and parendebaz (he who plays with somersaults) did some of the stunts performed today by "carpet" acrobats. One particular type of tumbler was the cemberbaz (he who played with hoops) who leaped through hoops in various difficult ways. Some of the hoops would be set about with sets of cups full of water of with daggers. The tumbler would tumble through the hoops without spilling one drop of water or without allowing himself to be scratched by the daggers which protruded from the hoops. There is a miniature showing an incredible feat where a performer tied to a donkey is seen leaping through a hoop. More akin to conjurors were those zorbaz (he who plays with strength or strong men) who showed a capacity for suffering or mutilation. One feat of zorbaz permitted several men to heavily hammer on a block of marble lying upon the naked stomach of a zorbaz. The zorbaz was in turn lying upon the sharpened edges of sword blades. A zorbaz would fasten a pulley to a gibbet, through which he would run a rope. The rope was fastened at one end to a ring to which all his hair was tied close to the crown of his head. The other end of the rope was in his hand. By this rope he would pull himself up to a great height. Another category of performers were semsirbaz (he who plays with swords), who were mostly sword-swallowers. Amongst others feats, they would place scimitars on the ground with their edge upwards, they lie stripped to the waist close by the naked blade. They could turn themselves over the swords without suffering. As well, there were performers known respectively as kuzabaz (he who plays with large earthenware jars), sisebaz (he who plays with bottles), and kadehbaz (he who plays with goblets), who balanced on their heads large earthenware, jars, bottles, drinking glasses, great poles or balancing one or two men. There were fire-eaters, atesbaz (he who plays with fire), gurzbaz (he who plays with weights), who were performers who showed vast strength in tossing weights.

text: Satellite data suggests that March, 2011 was the coolest in more than a decade. The average worldwide temperature in March was.18 degrees below the 30-year average for the month. It was the coldest March since 1999. February was also cold with temperatures running.03 degrees below the long-term average. Satellites began measuring temperature in 1978. The instruments measure the temperature of the atmosphere from the surface up to an altitude of about five miles above sea level. Satellites allow meteorologists to get accurate temperature readings for almost all regions of the Earth. This includes remote desert, ocean and rain forest areas where reliable climate data are not otherwise available. The cooling was largely driven by La Nina, which is a cooling of the equatorial Pacific Ocean.

Semilogarithmic plot
h = semilogy(...)
semilogy plots data with logarithmic scale for the y-axis.
semilogy(Y) creates a plot using a base 10 logarithmic scale for the y-axis and a linear scale for the x-axis. It plots the columns of Y versus their index if Y contains real numbers. semilogy(Y) is equivalent to semilogy(real(Y), imag(Y)) if Y contains complex numbers. semilogy ignores the imaginary component in all other uses of this function.
semilogy(X1,Y1,...) plots all Yn versus Xn pairs. If only one of Xn or Yn is a matrix, semilogy plots the vector argument versus the rows or columns of the matrix, along the dimension of the matrix whose length matches the length of the vector. If the matrix is square, its columns plot against the vector if their lengths match.
semilogy(X1,Y1,LineSpec,...) plots all lines defined by the Xn,Yn,LineSpec triples. LineSpec determines line style, marker symbol, and color of the plotted lines.
h = semilogy(...) returns a vector of handles to lineseries graphics objects, one handle per line.

School children from after school programs in Chapel Hill and Carrboro are taking home more than spelling lists and math sheets this fall. Carrboro-based nonprofit TABLE is sending them home with "healthy homework" – snack recipes and fresh food sourced from local farms through Farmer Foodshare.
It's a way to connect local farms with families who don't have access to healthy food.
"In North Carolina, two thirds of all adults are overweight or obese. North Carolina ranks fifth worst in the country for childhood obesity and first in the country for childhood food insecurity for children under five years of age," said Molly De Marco, a researcher with UNC's Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. "Combating hunger and obesity takes involvement from the entire family. This unique program encourages healthy eating year round, strengthens the local food system and provides families with a fun way to improve their health."
This month, volunteers from TABLE brought fresh ingredients from local farms to the center and showed the kids how to make Striped Rollups with green peppers, arugula, cheese and tortillas. After watching the demonstration, the children made Striped Rollups themselves, and then took home the ingredients and "know-how" needed to prepare the snack for their families.
"I can't wait to show this snack to my mom," said one of the fourth graders at The Hargraves Center afterschool program. "She loves peppers!" The snack program, TABLE for Two, sends trained UNC-Chapel Hill students to low-income after-school programs in Orange County. TABLE focuses exclusively on local childhood hunger, distributing healthy food to Chapel Hill-Carrboro children each week, as well as providing UNC student mentors to encourage kids to make healthy eating choices.
"We hope these special snack sessions will grow kids' familiarity with fresh produce and teach them what is available right in their own area," said Joy MacVane, TABLE's executive director. "TABLE helps children grow and thrive. This after school snack program empowers kids to teach their families to make healthy food choices."
Kids Lead the Way
The fresh snack training program is based on an embedded learning model in which students watch something, do it on their own, and then teach another what they learned. In TABLE for Two, children watch their mentors make snacks from locally grown produce and then prepare the snack on their own. After the program, children are sent home with fresh ingredients from local farms to make and share the snack with their families.
"It's so much fun watching the kids get excited about fresh and healthy food," said Ashton Chatham, Program Director at TABLE. "You always hear that kids don't like fresh vegetables. We sure don't see that here! They really get into the snacks and they love the fresh food we give them each week."
The Farmer Foodshare connection
TABLE receives fresh produce from local North Carolina farmers through a partnership with nonprofit Farmer Foodshare. The organization links farm-grown food to growing children through its Farm to Children program. Farmers from Carrboro Farmers Market provide TABLE with weekly donations of gleaned fresh produce as well as discounted produce specifically for snacks.
"We are delighted to support this innovative program," said Margaret Gifford, Founder and Executive Director of Farmer Foodshare. "TABLE understands how children learn about food and they know the power that healthy food can have in transforming children's lives."
"Healthy Homework" is part of the Table for Two Healthy Eating Program, one of several hunger relief programs sponsored by TABLE.
TABLE is a non-profit hunger-relief organization focusing exclusively on local childhood hunger. Each week, TABLE puts healthy food, including farm fresh produce, directly into the hands of Chapel Hill and Carrboro elementary school-age children who would otherwise go hungry on weekends and other times of the year when free school meals are unavailable. It brings together UNC students and community members to provide food to local hungry kids and raise awareness of local childhood hunger. During the 2011/2012 school year, TABLE sent home more than 45,000 pounds of food to hungry Chapel Hill-Carrboro children. Please visit _URL_ or email _EMAIL_ for more information.

Background: Present-day Turkmenistan covers territory that has been at the crossroads of civilizations for centuries. The area was ruled in antiquity by various Persian empires, and was conquered by Alexander the Great, Muslim crusaders, the Mongols, Turkic warriors, and eventually the Russians. In medieval times Merv (today known as Mary) was one of the great cities of the Islamic world and an important stop on the Silk Road. Annexed by Russia in the late 1800s, Turkmenistan later figured prominently in the anti-Bolshevik movement in Central Asia. In 1924, Turkmenistan became a Soviet republic; it achieved independence upon the dissolution of the USSR in 1991. Extensive hydrocarbon/natural gas reserves, which have yet to be fully exploited, have begun to transform the country. Turkmenistan is moving to expand its extraction and delivery projects. The Turkmen Government is actively working to diversify its gas export routes beyond the still important Russian pipeline network. In 2010, new gas export pipelines that carry Turkmen gas to China and to northern Iran began operating, effectively ending the Russian monopoly on Turkmen gas exports. President for Life Saparmurat NYYAZOW died in December 2006, and Turkmenistan held its first multi-candidate presidential election in February 2007. Gurbanguly BERDIMUHAMEDOW, a deputy cabinet chairman under NYYAZOW, emerged as the country's new president; he was chosen as president again in February 2012, in an election that the OSCE said lacked the freedoms necessary to create a competitive environment.

The information on Shangri-la climate could be helpful for preparing a Yunnan travel. Diqing enjoys a typical plateau climate, and it may snow in August. The city is surrounded by the Hengduan mountain range, and the terrain varies greatly, so the temperature difference throughout the day is large. Sometimes, travelers can even experience all four seasons within a day. July to September is the rainy season. Tourists usually choose to visit Diqing in summer or autumn, when the temperature is moderate.
Features of Diqing Climate
The climate in Diqing Tibetan autonomous prefecture is temperatecold temperate climate. The annual average temperature is 4.7- 16.5℃, the annual extreme maximum temperature is 25.1℃, and the minimum temperature is -27.4℃. With obvious three-dimensional climate, there is a saying of "A mountain has four seasons" in Diqing.
Diqing Weather and Climate by Month
What to Pack for a Diqing Trip
- Spring(March-May): In Spring, the temperature in Diqing slowly rises, from cold to mild, but the overall temperature is relatively low. Tourists to Diqing should wear sweaters and coats, and dress in layers to adapt to the large temperature difference.
- Summer(June-August): June to August is the rainy season, and Diqing has the highest temperature at this time. In summer, tourists are supposed to bring light clothes for the daytime and warm clothes for the night. Besides, remeber to bring an umbrella, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
- Autumn(September-November): As autumn goes on, the weather gets colder and drier. Long-sleeved clothes and warm coat are needed at this time.
- Winter(December-February): It's very cold in winter. If it snows, the temperature may drop below 0°C in the morning and evening. Therefore, it's important to keep warm in winter. Thermal underwear, sweaters, thick coat/down jacket, gloves, scarf, and warm hat are necesary when travelling in Diqing.
Best Time to Visit Diqing
Diqing is about 3,300 meters above sea level. Like all plateau, the temperature difference in Diqing between morning and evening is large and the wind is strong. It is recommended to visit Diqing from May to July and September to October. There are many festivals and activities at this time, the weather is also ideal for travel. Flowers are in full bloom, and there are green grass and trees everywhere, with the most beautiful scenery.
- MayJune: The end of spring and early summer is the most beautiful time of Shangri-La because of the full bloom of azalea (but the bloom time may delay along with the change of weather). In the middle of June, there are wild flowers in blossom everywhere, such as irises.
- JulyAugust: Flowers are blooming and colorful, but this is the rainy season of the year.
- SeptemberOctober: September to October is autumn. Wolf poison flowers are in bloom, and Diqing is rich in color. At this time, the scenery is beautiful and suitable for photography.

Avoid Public Holidays in China
Try to avoid the public holidays of China, such as May Day Holiday(May 1-3), National Day Holiday(October 1-7), Spring Festival Holiday(Usually early February), Qingming Festival(in early April), Dragon Boat Festival(in June). Spring festival and national day festival are the most crowded time to travel. During these holidays, there will be a large crowd in the tourist attractions and you can't really enjoy yourself. Flights and hotels are usually more expensive than usual.
High Altitude Sickness
Diqing is more than 3,300 meters above sea level. Some people may have a little altitude sickness, but it's usually not serious. If you want to go to the mountain pass, which is more than 4000 meters above sea level, it is better to take more preventive measures. Before going to the plateau, you can take some medicines to alleviate the altitude reaction, such as rhodiola rosea, American ginseng tablet and so on.


Don't Disregard Kierkegaard's Advice on Busyness
The popular way of thinking is that your work life needs to always be busy. We all know at least one person who is always busy and looking productive. You might be one of those individuals who pride themselves on always working. Let's rethink that.
A long dead Danish philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard, can help us rethink the value of always being busy.
How then might people escape busyness? Kierkegaard's discussion of busyness in Works of Love may provide a clue. By contrast with the busy people who harvest repeatedly, the person who wills the good has no immediate gains to rest on. Their action—unlike that of the busy people—is in pursuit of something meaningful, even though they receive no apparent reward for it. However, there may be other benefits. As recent psychological research also suggests, helping others can result in helping oneself. Pursuing particular goods—like striving to help the particular people you see, as Kierkegaard recommends elsewhere in Works of Love—might thus provide us with the specificity we need to escape indeterminacy and the phenomena like anxiety, boredom, and busyness that accompany it.

The Case of the Separated Date – Part 2
About a month ago (on August 3, 2007 to be exact), we discussed a way to prevent a string of words from being separated onto different lines by MS Word when it wraps text. At that time, the suggestion of Shift + Enter was offered.
It's a solution that works and if you're not going to need to edit the file much, you'd probably never notice any hiccups with it. But, on the other hand, if you're using it in a file that will undergo a lot of editing, you may find some limitations with this method. You may find that editing could cause some very short lines in the middle of a paragraph if you don't go in and delete the Shift + Enter.
So, if that wasn't a solution that worked well for you, you're probably wondering about other options.
At the time, I just couldn't come up with another choice, but fortunately, a reader wrote in and added a very helpful trick to our ever growing list of ways to make Word behave.
Now, I know you're interested in the extra information too, so let's get to work!
In order to invisibly connect two words, all you need to know is Ctrl + Shift + Space.
Yep, it's that easy! Instead of placing a regular space between two words, use Ctrl + Shift + Space and the program will not separate the words onto two separate lines.
The good part about this method is that when editing, you'll find that Word only makes unusual adjustments to spacing when it is required to keep the words together. With the other method, the new line created by the Shift + Enter stays as a new line no matter how short the line above it is.
Thank you, Sue for sending in your solution for all of us to enjoy!


Building a chat application
Next, let's build a multi-client chat room. The goal of this program is to explore socket programming in further detail. This section also implements and discusses the client-server architecture that is so common in all network programs.
Our chat program will consist of a chat server, which listens for and receives all incoming messages on a given port.
It also maintains a list of chat clients that connect to the server. It then broadcasts any incoming messages to all connected clients:
Let's start with the code for the chat server.
A server runs on a remote host and has a socket bound to a specific port number....

Is symmetry identity?
International Studies in The Philosophy of Science 02/2012; 16(2). DOI:10.1080/02698590220145061
Source: arXiv
ABSTRACT Wigner found unreasonable the "effectiveness of mathematics in the natural
sciences". But if the mathematics we use to describe nature is simply a coded
expression of our experience then its effectiveness is quite reasonable. Its
effectiveness is built into its design. We consider group theory, the logic of
symmetry. We examine the premise that symmetry is identity; that group theory
encodes our experience of identification. To decide whether group theory
describes the world in such an elemental way we catalogue the detailed
correspondence between elements of the physical world and elements of the
formalism. Providing an unequivocal match between concept and mathematical
statement completes the case. It makes effectiveness appear reasonable. The
case that symmetry is identity is a strong one but it is not complete. The
further validation required suggests that unexpected entities might be
describable by the irreducible representations of group theory.

Lauren Jauregui and Chika Are the Role Models They Never Had
Lauren Jauregui and Chika Are the Role Models They Never Had
Story by Stephanie Smith-Strickland / Photography by Bryan Huynh
One of pop stardom's most fascinating elements is its historical acceptance of metamorphosis as a natural part of any artist's career arc. In fact, it has arguably been a requirement of the model. From Madonna to Lady Gaga to Katy Perry or even Miley Cyrus, it's easy to isolate and identify distinctive eras. Often, these transformations happen in conjunction with shifting trends in popular music and, even at times, changing schools of thought.
In the past, such choices rarely read as a point of critique for audiences determined to separate an artist's musical persona from their personal politics. But the onset of the hyper-connected internet generation, and with it, a more native understanding of the importance of diversity and representation, has lead to conversation around what it means to co-opt marginalized identities as costumes. This has often been a by-product of these artistic rebrands. We saw it in Miley Cyrus' Bangerz era; Katy Perry's Bon Appetit era (and before that the arguably queer trivializing single "I Kissed a Girl"); and Madonna's Vogue era, which appropriated a creation of the Black and Latino LGBTQ community without ever truly providing context or substantial credit.
The heightened visibility of non-cis, non-hetero and non-white acts has also been instrumental in creating greater accountability, but also opening dialogues about the realities of existing in a space where lived experiences as a marginalized person are frequently commodified with no benefit to the communities of inspiration. For 23-year-old Lauren Jauregui, recognizing that she has been on both sides of this coin has been part of an internal process of learning and unlearning that she's recently started to communicate in her music.
Clothing: Area, Jewelry: Keren Wolf
Born to Cuban immigrants in Miami, the singer entered the public consciousness through Fifth Harmony, which eventually dissolved as all its members went solo. In 2016, the same year the group parted ways, Jauregui revealed that she was bisexual — a part of herself she felt she had to conceal in order to have a successful career, but also to avoid rocking the boat in her deeply Catholic Cuban-American community.
Unfortunately, the singer's revelation wasn't entirely a celebratory victory lap of striking out on her own and finally getting to live authentically. Jauregui was outed on social media after a photo of her kissing another woman began circulating. She took it as an opportunity to pen an open letter that not only communicated the harm of outing, but also acknowledged the fluid nature of sexual identity and the privilege of being a white-passing Latinx person in her chosen industry.
Having parted ways with the group that once defined her musical trajectory and embraced the parts of herself she once kept hidden, Jauregui's solo offerings are an exploration of a new state of liberation. Her first official single, "Lento" was released March of this year and sets the singer's svelte, honeyed rasp over a sexy mid-tempo beat from reggaeton producer and former collaborator Tainy. Flowing between Spanish and English with ease, Jauregui becomes one with the night, all while silkily dismissing any overtures of negativity, over-familiarity or possessiveness to effectively center autonomy at the heart of the irresistible dance track. Her latest release, "50ft," features an accompanying music video shot with family and close friends while in quarantine in her hometown of Miami. The markedly more down-tempo tune revisits the same themes of choosing self and growing away from situations and relationships that breed negativity or discomfort.
Over the course of an hour-long conversation with friend and industry peer, Nigerian-American musician Chika — whose own path to self-discovery has bloomed in conjunction with her music — Jauregui opened up about her journey to embracing queerness, mental health and learning to listen and be an ally.
Chika: First of all, I'm just going to go ahead and ask a holistic question: How are you? How are you feeling? Where is your head at? The world is crazy right now.
Lauren Jauregui: Things are quite overwhelming. We are all experiencing what's happening in the world at large, and in our country at large, but then, you know, that doesn't take away all of the personal and interpersonal shifts going on. I think I'm overwhelmed, but I'm blessed and I'm so aware of that.
Chika: I can fully understand that. I, too, am overwhelmed. I think everyone who experiences intersection in the world, they can identify with the feeling of being overwhelmed right now. I'm trying to remain hopeful and trying to celebrate small wins that happen while continuing to fight for what's important.
I've seen that you're super active and super vocal. You have been before it was trending and before it became, "Oh my god, the world's on fire." A. I commend you and B. I just wanted to know — I clearly know that it stems from a place of empathy and also a place of experience and knowing what certain discrimination looks like — but what actually keeps that fire burning? Because we're tired. We can just put it out there. Everyone knows everyone is tired. What reinvigorates you? What reinvigorates me is seeing all the stories and knowing this can't continue.
Lauren: I feel like I speak for a lot of people on the planet right now when I say it's always been in me. This understanding, this vision of a world beyond the world that we grew up in, and beyond the world our parents were susceptive to. That fire has been in my heart for a long while and it's kind of just been stoked at different times by meeting different people and hearing different stories. Like you said, the stories that are just so available to us and so constant. I think I'm in a constant state of heartbreak, you know what I mean? I'm an empath as a gift, and I feel the whole world and I feel it to the point where I cry every day... not to make it about me at all, because it's the way that I'm able to feel what everyone is going through on a collective level.
Chika: I don't want you to think that it's selfish to be able to note how it personally affects you, because it's so not selfish. If there weren't people in the world who were empaths, nobody would care beyond the surface level. Most of us have sympathy, but empathy is something that runs a lot deeper, and being an empath means having that section of your heart completely dilated and wide open so that when things like social injustices happen, or when it's time to actually get up and fight, empaths are the ones who kind of keep everyone else going.
Lauren: Thank you, I receive that and I appreciate that a lot. Sometimes I do get caught up thinking about, "Oh shit, am I making this about me?" Obviously I do not want to be centered in these conversations, especially being that I'm a white-presenting celebrity. I might be Latinx, but I am white-looking. I feel sometimes voices get centered in spaces that aren't necessarily their spaces to dominate.
But then, like you said, I'm very passionate. I believe in the divinity of each sentient being. I see myself when I look into people's eyes, no matter who they are. That's what drives me: Every time I see a new hashtag, or a new name, or a new face, or a new picture. And again, I want to make it clear that this has been happening. Ever since I became aware of the disparity of experiences in America, I've tried to keep this line of knowing my place in the situation, but also being adamant about amplifying and being an ally. I'm imperfect so I'm constantly treading that energy of not knowing how many mistakes I've made in my past. We're all unlearning right now. Even people who are part of communities that are hurt are having to unlearn certain things.
Clothing: Area, Jewelry: Keren Wolf
Chika: Exactly. We're saying Black Lives Matter, which they do, and that's a sentiment I think everyone should be able to agree on without any qualifiers or putting a "too" afterward or anything like that, but one thing I've seen in our community is that a lot of people have had to unlearn and relearn rhetoric around being queer and Black, and what that means about how Black queer lives matter within the community.
How many trans women are being murdered, not even just by police, but in our community itself? One thing I saw that I thought was incredibly moving is the sentiment that there is no reform without healing. So even in those little small intricacies of you acknowledging the things that you've probably said to hurt other people is important. I know I've said some wild shit. I'm 23 and I'm lucky to be getting wiser as the days go on, but I'm sure I had a reckless ass mouth. There are things that I never took as importantly as I should have. And then you see how many of us are dying and going missing and being completely thrown to the wolves and you realize unlearning is really urgent.
In your process of learning and unlearning, how have you navigated finding resources without putting the labor on others, but then also leaning in or having others do the labor of teaching when it makes sense?
Lauren: To be honest I've been blessed to have a lot of Black femmes in my life who have taught me

Explore the rich historical timeline of the Chickasaws from the nation's roots to its present day existence. From the early days of European discovery to the dark periods of settler encroachment, the Chickasaws emerged a stronger nation, one that would once again gain sovereignty in later years. Today, in the days of our creative renaissance, the Chickasaw Nation is flourishing once again.
In the North American theatre of the larger Seven Year's War, France and England were fighting for colonial domination of America, the Caribbean and India. The French, who were greatly outnumbered in America, relied on their Indian allies to help them.
The end of the war and the triumph of England meant the Chickasaws had survived France's attempt to destroy them. During this war, the tribe also established peace with the Choctaws, ending decades of conflict and fighting.


The Pied Piper of Hamelin
In the town of Hamelin, the rich and greedy live like kings and queens while the poor and sick scavenge rubbish tips for scraps. A lame orphan boy tells the classic tale of how a plague of rats take over the town and how a fantastic piper offers to rid Hamelin of its rats for a single gold coin, then lures away the town's children when the greedy mayor breaks his word. Masterfully weaving contemporary social and environmental themes into a gripping tale, and celebrating it with breathtaking illustrations, former British Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo and illustrator Emma Chichester Clark team up to create a compelling new take on this timeless story.

Kitty-corner, or catty-corner, is a classic example of the phenomenon known as folk-etymology. When a word or phrase makes little apparent sense, it will often mutate into a form that seems more familiar.
The term was originally catercorner. Cater is an old dialectical term for diagonal. It derives from the French quatre or four. Cater dates to the16th century, appearing in Barnaby Googe's 1577 translation of Heresbach's Foure Bookes of Husbandry:
The trees are set checkerwise and so catred [partim in quincuncem directis], as looke which way ye will, they lye level.
By the early 19th century, the folk etymology had set in. From Joseph C. Neal's 1838 Charcoal Sketches:
One of that class...who, when compelled to share their bed with another, lie in that engrossing posture called "catty-cornered."

Statue of Liberty
Management of Lady Liberty Discussed in Congress
UPDATED: The United States Congress is mad at the National Park Service. Congress cannot figure out why the parks are not listening them, after they've been asked more than once by the House to open up the crown of the Statue of Liberty. Congress has given unsolicited money to Liberty to get it open, and there had been a campaign which raised millions from across the nation for the same purpose, but still, 6 years after it was closed, there remains no public access to the crown.

Statistics indicate that foodborne illness continues to be a health issue in the United States. Each year, 1 in 4 Americans will become sick, 1 in 1,000 will become hospitalized, and 5,000 will die due to a foodborne illness.
Blanco County food service establishments are under the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) jurisdiction. DSHS requires that each food establishment has one certified food manager on site.
Many of you have already received a letter from the Texas Department of State Health Services regarding this. Under these new rules, each food establishment permitted by the Texas Department of State Health Services must have one certified food manager. New food manager certificates will be valid for 5 years.
Texas AgriLife Extension Service, Blanco County, is offering a food manager certification training course. This program will be offered for $110 on June 15 and 16 at the Blanco Library large meeting room. Cost includes training, materials, and the State food manager certification examination.
This program is designed to not only prepare food service managers to pass the certification examination; it will provide valuable education regarding the safe handling of food. Almost 50 cents of every dollar Americans spend on food is spent on meals prepared away from home. Therefore, careful attention to food safety will help keep customers safe and satisfied.
Foodborne illnesses are estimated to cost thousands of dollars in lost wages, insurance, and medical bills. With these statistics, knowledge of how to prevent foodborne illness is essential. The benefits of improved food safety include:
· Increased customer satisfaction
· Improved relationships with health officials
· Prevention of bad publicity and law suits due to foodborne illness
By attending the course, foodservice managers will learn about:
· identifying potentially hazardous foods and common errors in food handling
· preventing contamination and cross-contamination of food
· teaching and encouraging personal hygiene for employees
· complying with government regulations
· maintaining clean utensils, equipment and surroundings
· controlling pests
Foodborne illnesses can be prevented by following simple food safety practices. For more information about the Food Manager Certification Training course of Texas AgriLife Extension Service, called "Food Safety: It's Our Business," call Gretchen Sanders, Blanco County Extension Agent, at _PHONE_.

This weekend's update consists of the following two alternative adventure structures (and yes, they're inspired by Apocalypse World):
Free Structure
Player who would prefer a less strict adventure structure can try this variant:
Instead of setting up a series of challenges as above, an adventure contains four unordered challenges which the player whose character is going through the adventure can undertake in any order. For each successfully completed challenge the player gets to choose one result from the following list:
* The adventure is successfully completed.
* The character survives the adventure.
* The character's actions doesn't have uninteded negative consequences.
* The character's actions have unexpected positive consequences.
When using this adventure structure the players should decide at the start of the game whether choices from the list are made at the end of the adventure, after all rolls are made, or after each successful roll.
Another variant is to have a linear advanture with four different challenges faced in order. To successfully complete the adventure the character has to succeed at every challenge, but two times during the adventure the player can change a failure to a success by choosing one of the consequences from the following list:
* The character is mortally wounded and will die when the adventure is over.
* The character's actions have unintended negative consequences.
* The character's reputation is tarnished and he is remembered as a great villain.
* The character's highest die rating is reduced to a d4 for the rest of the adventure.
Note that changing the roll to a success doesn't change the actual number roll. Specifically, this has no effect on whether a tragedy is triggered.
I have also added the following rule:
Whenever a character uses one of his abilities or roles, the die rating for that ability or role is reduced one step to a minimum of d4.
Example (continued): After the battle, Fiona's rating in Hand is reduced from d6 to d4 and her rating in Captain is reduced from d8 to d6.

As technology progresses, we are seeing increasing numbers of small devices that have the capability to store, process and forward information in our everyday physical environments. Increasingly, this is opening up the opportunity to generate, collect and communicate new knowledge and information in diverse aspects ofhuman life. However this raises significant challenges for communication and content acquisition, as new levels of flexibility, adaptation and dynamism are required. In particular, the traditional notion ofalways-on end-to-end network connectivity becomes inappropriate, and radical rethinking is necessary. The EU FET project Social Networking for Pervasive Adaptation(SOCIALNETS) seeks to overcome these challenges by understanding, modelling and exploiting the key characteristics that enable humans to adapt and exhibit agility beyond other species. Through developing the capacity for devices to socially network, we believe that there is significant potential to facilitate highly effective pervasive communication and content provision. © 2008 IEEE.

Res publica christiana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Res publica christiana is a Latin phrase combining the idea of res publica and christiana to describe the worldwide community of Christianity and its well-being. A single English word with somewhat comparable meaning is "Christendom".
This phrase is notably found in the encyclical Christianae Republicae Salus, a Roman Catholic Church document which condemns Voltairian and masonic indifferentism in matters of religion.
