If you want to give me a compliment, don't tell me I'm pretty. Don't tell me I look skinny. Don't tell me I'm having a good hair and skin day. Don't tell me my outfit is "on fleek" or my makeup is stunning. Don't tell me I look expensive.
If you want to give me a compliment, tell me I'm intelligent. Tell me my creativity is out of this world. Tell me I'm kind. Tell me I'm hardworking and ambitious. Tell me you see me going far in life. Tell me I'm a role model, but not because of my appearance, but because of my strength, power, inner radiance, mind, and intelligence.
A real compliment is one that doesn't suggest you are beautiful and bright one day, then weak and dull the next. I go through changes, my body and skin have its ups and downs, and sometimes I prefer sweats over a blouse. My fashion sense says absolutely nothing about me. My beauty is what I hold on the inside, not what I show on the outside. My intelligence is so much more important than how skinny my body looks because I forgot to eat breakfast while I spent the morning pouring myself into a poem that I could not stop writing.
Give me a real compliment.
Don't ask me about my makeup routine. Don't ask me where I buy my clothes. Don't ask me how I keep my hair so curly. If that is what you focus on then you are completely missing the real me.
Instead, ask me about my dreams. Ask me about my writing and see for yourself how much I've grown. Ask me about my favorite novel. Ask me about my proudest moments, but also my failures because I have grown so much since then.
Look and aspire to know the real me. The me that rests inside this body, clothed in meaningless fabric that has nothing to show for my accomplishments and dreams. There is so much more to me that you haven't seen and THAT is the who I really am.
So give me a real compliment and get to know the real me because my outer appearance is the shell where my true self lies. If you ask the right questions you may get a glimpse into my world and see for yourself all that I have to offer.
Thank you very much. I appreciate all of your comments.


Three more days to go! Out final stretch of travelling for these 365 Days: 365 Activities is taking us down the Kauri Coast on our way back to Auckland for one last epic day. We are so keen to make the most of it that we're stopping by one of the best loved spots of the Kauri Coast area, starting with a trip to the Kai Iwi Lakes!
Our day starts in Omapere on the coast of the Hokianga Harbour. We've had an awesome time here over the last three days filled with cultural and natural wonders. It only seems fitting to leave the area through one of the most mesmerising tracts of forest we have ever drive through in the New Zealand. The road through the Waipoua Forest is lined with giant kauri trees that are hundreds and even thousands of years old. It's a long winding road but one we definitely don't mind being stuck on.
If you remember, just a couple of days ago, we delved into the Waipoua Forest by night to see Tane Mahuta, the Lord of the Forest and the largest kauri tree in New Zealand. See the Waipoua Forest by night was an incredible experience. Getting to experience it again by day makes us feel all the more lucky! A word of warning, however, if you are driving this road by night, look out for kiwi birds! They are often spotted crossing the roads around these parts.
Robin is on GPS duty, so once we are out of the forest to see the light of day again, he directs us off the main highway and down a gravel road… and then a 4×4 track, pretty much.
"This road doesn't really seem like access to a popular attraction," Laura sasses at Robin. Indeed, a friendly local stops us from being led 19km to a dead end and points us in the right direction. We're ashamed this isn't the first time that Google Maps has lead us astray in New Zealand. It's not even the second or the third! Google Maps is on a mission to find the "fastest route" to a destination, which a) isn't always the safest, and b) sometimes just assumes that you'll walk the rest of the way. We knew this fact but still failed to double check the suggested route on a paper map. In conclusion, don't use Google Maps to take you to the Kai Iwi Lakes!
As we find ourselves back on the main highway then following the perfectly clear signs, we finally find our way to the Kai Iwi Lakes, a recreational park for walking, biking, fishing and camping. Did someone say walking? Walking is always a good go-to for something to do in New Zealand.
Kai Iwi Lakes or the Taharoa Domain is made up of three main lakes. After checking out a crazy-looking swamp with dead twigs sticking out of it, we continue to Lake Kai Iwi for a walk around the lake. We park up and start walking.
We arrive at the shallow waters of the lake where we can see its sandy bottom as clear as day! It's so clear that even the tiny fish have shadows! With the white sand gradually getting deeper, this casts some beautiful colours across the lake.
The further around the lake we go, the more the track is engulfed in manuka and kanuka forest, mixed with pine forest. We spot the odd bird, see the odd duck on the water, and a whole bunch of bees lapping up those manuka flowers. The track conveniently loops all the way around the lake, taking 30-45 minutes to complete.
A crazy-looking swamp (and nest)!
So much to see around the beautiful Kai Iwi Lakes!
Back at the car, we have walked ourselves into a ice cream-hungry state. We see there is a holiday park at the end of Lake Taharoa behind a set of beautiful sandy beaches, so surely we are in for a winner!
"What sort of holiday park doesn't sell ice cream?!" Robin whines as we stomp onto down the boardwalk onto the beach with an apple each in hand. Nevertheless, we still have that summer feeling with the sun beaming down on us as we relax on a pristine white sand beach. No wonder they call this the "Winterless North". But then, reality hits when we see a fast-moving dark cloud heading our way. They may call it the Winterless North, but New Zealand is also renowned for having four seasons in a day! This is our cue to leave and check into our accommodation.
We arrive at the Kauri Coast Top 10 Holiday Park to be greeted by a couple of cute-as-hell dogs who show us around the place before we check in with the real holiday park owner, Chris, who, by the way, has ice cream for sale… Just saying. Although our plan for tomorrow is to check out the Trounson Kauri Park and its bush walks, Chris tells us that he actually runs night tours into the Trounson Kauri Park from the holiday park to go kiwi bird spotting! Going into the forest and seeing kiwi birds in the wild sounds so much more appealing that just going into a forest, so it looks like we are sorted with tomorrow's activity! That also means we have time to catch our breath in the holiday park all day tomorrow, considering the tour starts as dusk.
Join us tomorrow for some kiwi spotting!

Q: r - leaflet heatmap in rmarkdown Question
Can you plot a leaflet heatmap in an rmarkdown document?
Example working code
This code will generate a leaflet map with a heatmap when run directly from R
library(rCharts)

## data
dat <- data.frame(Longitude = c(-122.3809, -122.3269, -122.3342, -122.2984, -122.3044, -122.2754),
              Latitude = c(47.66796,47.63436,47.57665,47.71930,47.60616,47.55392),
              intensity = c(10,20,30,40,50,300))

## create JSON for heatmap
## - could also use jsonlite::toJSON
j <- paste0("[",dat[,"Latitude"], ",", dat[,"Longitude"], ",", dat[,"intensity"], "]", collapse=",")
j <- paste0("[",j,"]")

## create leaflet map
leaf_map <- Leaflet$new()
leaf_map$setView(c(47.5982623,-122.3415519), zoom=10)
leaf_map$tileLayer(provider="Acetate.terrain")

## add heatmap plugin
leaf_map$addAssets(jshead = c("http://leaflet.github.io/Leaflet.heat/dist/leaflet-heat.js"))

## heatmap layer
leaf_map$setTemplate(afterScript = sprintf("

    ", j
))

## output map
leaf_map

Output:

I have an example of this working in shiny too using tags$ and HTML().
rmarkdown chunk
Using Ramnath's example of embedding rCharts in R Markdown I can get close to creating this in a markdown document, but when this runs it displays the map, but not the heat.
```{r heatMapMarkdown, results='asis', comment=NA, cache=F}

## References
# - http://bl.ocks.org/ramnathv/raw/8084330/ - embedding rCharts in R Markdown

library(rCharts)

dat <- data.frame(Longitude = c(-122.3809, -122.3269, -122.3342, -122.2984, -122.3044, -122.2754),
              Latitude = c(47.66796,47.63436,47.57665,47.71930,47.60616,47.55392),
              intensity = c(10,20,30,40,50,300))

## create JSON for heatmap

j <- paste0("[",dat[,"Latitude"], ",", dat[,"Longitude"], ",", dat[,"intensity"], "]", collapse=",")
j <- paste0("[",j,"]")

leaf_map <- Leaflet$new()
leaf_map$setView(c(47.5982623,-122.3415519), zoom=10)
leaf_map$tileLayer(provider="Acetate.terrain")

## Add circle:
# leaf_map$marker(c(47.5982623, -122.3415519))

leaf_map$addAssets(jshead = c("http://leaflet.github.io/Leaflet.heat/dist/leaflet-heat.js"))

leaf_map$setTemplate(afterScript = sprintf("
    <script>
    var addressPoints = %s
    var heat = L.heatLayer(addressPoints).addTo(map)
    </script>
    ", j
))

## shows the map, but not the heat...
leaf_map$print('iframesrc', include_assets=TRUE, cdn=TRUE)

```

Is it possible to get the 'heat' to display on the map too?

A: I figured this out thanks to the answer to the question How to add an interactive visualisation to R Markdown
First, I create an html document for the  section to include a src to the heatmap plugin, and save it in the same directory as my .Rmd file with the name include_js_heatmap.html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn.leafletjs.com/leaflet/v0.7.7/leaflet.css" />

I can then include this in the header of the .Rmd, and write the html to generate the heatmap directly into the body of the document.
To make the heat interactive I can construct the JSON of heat points in a code chunk, then include it in the body of the document with the r ... notation
---
title: heatmapRMarkdown
output:
  html_document:
    self_contained: false
    keep_md: true
    includes:
      in_header: "include_js_heatmap.html"
---

```{r}
dat <- data.frame(Longitude = c(-122.3809, -122.3269, -122.3342, -122.2984, -122.3044, -122.2754),
                  Latitude = c(47.66796,47.63436,47.57665,47.71930,47.60616,47.55392),
                  intensity = c(100,20,30,400,50,3))

j <- paste0("[",dat[,"Latitude"], ",", dat[,"Longitude"], ",", dat[,"intensity"], "]", collapse=",")
j <- paste0("[",j,"]")

```

Update
The
 method will create a directory alongside the .Rmd file with various .html, .js, .css files within it. Once this is created the standard rCharts code will work without the need for the
 html code any more:
## create leaflet map
leaf_map <- Leaflet$new()
leaf_map$setView(c(47.5982623,-122.3415519), zoom=10)
leaf_map$tileLayer(provider="Acetate.terrain")

## add heatmap plugin
leaf_map$addAssets(jshead = c("http://leaflet.github.io/Leaflet.heat/dist/leaflet-heat.js"))

## heatmap layer
leaf_map$setTemplate(afterScript = sprintf("

    ", j
))

## output map
leaf_map

Update 2
A slight variation on this which avoids the include is to use the all the relevant html directly in the .Rmd document:
```{r baseMap, results='asis', echo=FALSE, comment=NA, cache=FALSE}
library(rCharts)
dat <- data.frame(Longitude = c(-122.3809, -122.3269, -122.3342, -122.2984, -122.3044, -122.2754),
                  Latitude = c(47.66796,47.63436,47.57665,47.71930,47.60616,47.55392),
                  intensity = c(100,20,30,400,50,3))

j <- paste0("[",dat[,"Latitude"], ",", dat[,"Longitude"], ",", dat[,"intensity"], "]", collapse=",")
j <- paste0("[",j,"]")

```

RC (radio controlled) cars, especially the nitro or gas powered RC cars, are becoming increasingly popular. With speeds up to 70 mph, realistic looks, and racing clubs in virtually every large city, it's easy to see why.
If you want to join this exciting hobby, there're a few things you should consider before you buy your first nitro-powered RC car. The basic considerations are: size, type, 2 or 4-stroke motor, maintenance, 2 or 4 wheel drive, and ready-to-run (rtr) or kit cars.
The two most popular sizes to choose from are 1/8 and 1/10 scale. 1/10th scale is the industry standard for on-road racers, while 1/8th is more popular for off-road trucks and buggies. The larger 1/8th scale on road car comes standard with a 2 or 3 speed automatic transmission.
The touring and racing cars are the popular choice for on-road use. For best performance, they should be run on a smooth surface.
Trucks and buggies are the choice if off-road action is what you want. Though not as fast as the touring and racing styles, they are still very impressive and extremely rugged as well. And since a smooth surface is not required, they also have the advantage of being able to run just about anywhere.
Nitro powered RC motors come available in the popular 2-stroke or the less conventional 4- stroke versions. The primary difference is that the 2-stroke motor, much like a weed eater or chain saw, requires a fuel oil mixture. The 4- stroke motor has an oil reservoir and can run on straight fuel. The 2 stroke engine has the advantage of producing higher rpm's (revs up faster) and is more suitable for racing. The 4 stroke engine has more power and torque and is better for offroad use.
The most popular 2-stroke motor is the 23cc (cubic centimeter) displacement engine. It's popularity is due to the amazing 2.5 HP of output it produces. The resulting high speeds and acceleration are what RC racers love.
Additionally, motors come with or without a pull start. The ones without a pull start are cheaper, but you'll also need a starter box.
If you're new to the hobby, you'll find a 2wd car less expensive and easier to work on. The 4wd car has the advantage of better traction and handling in turns which makes it a better choice when you're ready to race.
Nitro powered rc cars come in kits or ready-to-run right from the box. The primary difference is the whether you want to save time with a RTR car or save money with a kit. However, because of the assembly process, kits better prepare you for required maintenance.
When you assemble the car, make sure to work in a well-lit, uncluttered area. You should keep the parts and tools separated using tin boxes, trays, or even an old fishing tackle box.
These are a few of the basics you'll need to know before you buy your first nitro rc car or truck. You should expect to pay around $400 for a complete beginner setup. The price will vary a little depending on whether you choose a kit or RTR and how many tools you need.
Whether you race or just practice by yourself, get ready for a lot of fun!

Atomic Performance Products have available a range of heavy duty valvetrain weapons for the Ford SOHC and DOHC 6 cylinder engines. Our range includes H/Duty and Race Springs, Titanium and chrome moly retainers, machined chrome moly valve locks, stainless steel valves and anti pump-up lifters.
Standard valve springs suffer from varying seat pressures from new and once subjected to cyclic operation (even for a short time) can lose tension rapidly. This loss of tension can lead to "valve float", a condition whereby the valve is not returned cleanly to the valve seat, allowing it to bounce which releases vital cylinder pressure. The resultant loss of pressure creates a misfire, followed by either erratic idling and/or stalling.
All valve springs lose tension after being installed – and because the original Ford valve springs are quite weak, even a small loss of tension can bring about this condition. Turbo boost pressure also works against valve spring tension on the inlet valves – the DOHC Ford 6 cyl inlet valve has an area of 3.5 sq inches approx, so for every pound of boost, roughly 3.5 lbs of valve spring tension is deducted from the spring pressure. For example, if the spring has 50lbs of seat pressure and the engine has 7 pounds of boost, the net effect is that valve spring tension is reduced by 24.5 lbs to only 25.5 lbs of seat pressure, which is inadequate for almost all applications.
All Atomic H/Duty and Race Series springs are conically wound to accurately fit both the spring seat base and the smaller OD retainer. They are not just the inner spring out of a Chev or Ford V8 set, nor are they repackaged Ford DOHC V8 or Typhoon/Tornado springs (which fatigue just as quickly as the originals) but are custom wound from premium quality USA made nickel chrome vanadium spring steel, heat treated, shot peened, scragged and packed in matching sets of either 12 or 24 for use in all 4.0L SOHC and DOHC 6 cyl engines. Suitable for use with either standard or Atomic camshafts, no expensive cylinder head machining is required and the standard valve spring retainers, seals and locks can be retained.
Changing valve springs on the Ford DOHC engine has become quite a bit easier with the release of the Atomic on-car valve spring removal tool – part #100704. Rather than having to remove the cylinder head to gain access to the valve springs or using levers and collars to change the springs on the car, our patented tool allows all valve springs per cylinder to be changed simultaneously – the entire job can be undertaken in only a matter of hours. No special skills are required and the possibility of dropping a valve collet into the engine is substantially reduced.
If you are looking for the ultimate in high performance valve springs for high boost/high rev DOHC applications, then look no further than our Race Series Ovate wire springs. Designed for extreme high performance street and all-out race applications, Atomic springs are made from triple heat treated Ovate wire and provide high seat and nose pressures whilst providing extreme durability.
Ovate wire is the latest technology in spring steel wire profile and is used extensively in the USA in NASCAR, Winston Cup and Drag race applications. Ovate wire is not circular in cross section, but is elliptical (across the horizontal plane) to provide high spring pressures whilst allowing clearance for high lift camshafts. Special triple heat treatment is required to ensure consistent tempering across the entire spring section and, combined with specialised tooling required to produce the wire form, Ovate springs are quite a bit more expensive than conventionally formed wire springs. They are however, the only choice when used in short installed height, high lift, high boost, highly stressed street/race applications.
This kit comprises #306801 springs and #306851 Titanium retainers a reduced price compared to buying the parts individually.

Q: opengrok Index database(s) not found I'm using OpenGrok and get an issue when I try to search on a project.
I get the error "Index database(s) not found..."
It's a bit weird, because there are other projects on this instance and they work perfectly. It's only with the last project in my list that I have this problem...
Does anyone have any idea?

A: You will see this error, when there is a problem with indexing of given repository. opengrok creates a "dirty" file in such cases under index folder eg. /home/opengrok/data/index/
Please follow the below steps to solve such errors.

*

*Identify the repository on which this error is being appeared eg.
test

*Login to opengrok server

*cd /home/opengrok/data/index/
 eg. /home/opengrok/data/index/test

*Move the contents to a temp location
    eg. mkdir /tmp/test; mv /home/opengrok/data/index/test/*  /tmp/test

*Start indexing again.

A: Finally I found how to resolve it.
It was because the indexes where to big.
So I went in the OpenGrok directory and clear them.
Then I launched OpenGrok again and everything went fine.
Hope this can help someone else!

The Story Behind Kristen Schaal's Fifty Shades Of Verizon Super Bowl Ad For T-Mobile
A behind-the-scenes look at the comedian's brand-specific fetish during the big game.
By Jeff Beer 3 minute Read
As another cavalcade of commercialism paraded its way across 100 million TVs, brands' advertising efforts were scrutinized in real time on Twitter and Facebook, upping the pressure for success and squeezing every ounce of value for the millions spent. T-Mobile was no exception, and the mobile brand stuck to a Super Bowl strategy that worked last year–this year subbing in Justin Bieber for Drake–but also its overall strategy to mix things up as much as possible. That's where comedian Kristen Schaal came in.
Schaal (Bob's Burgers, Flight of the Concords, The Last Man on Earth) starred in two ads as woman who has a Fifty Shades of Grey affinity for excessive mobile charges, taxes, and fees. T-Mobile SVP advertising Peter DeLuca says the Super Bowl is an opportunity for a challenger brand to make a significant impact.
Is The Era Of The Iconic Super Bowl Ad Over?
"Our overall Super Bowl strategy, we get outspent in the category two to one, so the Super Bowl is one of those places where we believe wholeheartedly that you have to go big as a brand," says DeLuca. "It's a massive platform and we create work that we believe is not just spots for the Super Bowl, it's bigger than that. We build content all around them, and then we leverage the commercial time during the game, but use the social channels to make that even bigger."
That approach seems to have worked. According to marketing technology company Amobee, T-Mobile had the second most branded Twitter activity–after Netflix Stranger Things 2 trailer–generating 91.7K tweets around the three minutes across four ads, starring Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart, Justin Bieber, and Schaal. Verizon even took the bait and tweeted at T-Mobile, raising the campaign's profile even more.
Schaal was the first pick agency Publicis Seattle pitched for the role, and while she may not be as famous as Justin Beiber, Schaal does have a unique kind of celebrity. "Her type of celebrity is people know her as soon as she's on the screen," says DeLuca. "They might not know her name right away but they'll know her. She's just inherently funny and memorable."
Initially, the brand had only purchased one 30-second commercial slot during the Super Bowl for a Schaal spot, but DeLuca said the right script in the comedian's hands forced them to buy more during the game. "(Publicis Seattle) presented the idea but then we started thinking about how to really blow the concept out," says DeLuca. "Our social agency Laundry Service, came back with some scripts for Kristen, and she did it on-set, and as we were putting that spot together we realized it was perfect for the big game, too. So it was just going to run on social and digital, but we loved it so much we decided to see if we could get it on the network broadcast."
Schaal says she decides on commercial partners based on how she feels about the product, and the quality of the work. Good product, funny script. These spots, she says, fit the bill. "If anything I was weighing in on trying to make it less sexy," she says. "I think they were ready for it to be more provocative but I was toning it down a bit, but it was a lot of fun, a really good collaboration, and they were ready to go all in which was exciting."
Did she feel any added pressure with it being a Super Bowl commercial? "You know it's going to be watched by more people than usual, but I think in everything that you make, you always want it to be good no matter what," she says. "So even if you're making a commercial to air during the least-watched television show, I'd still be stressed and nervous about the quality."
Jeff Beer is a staff editor at Fast Company, covering advertising, marketing, and brand creativity. He lives in Toronto.
This is why you should have your own personal communication style

The Tasmanian devil is endemic to Australia. Although this species is called tiger (named for its stripes) and wolf (due to its canid-like appearance), it is not a member of the cat or wolf family. It is a member of the marsupial family. Other members of this family include kangaroos and koala bears.
The last known Tasmanian tiger died in a zoo in Hobart, Tasmania in 1936, but there have been hundreds of unconfirmed sightings, and a reserve has been set up in Southwestern Tasmania in the hopes that possible surviving individuals can have adequate habitat.


The 12c. stamp depicts the Spanish topsail schooner Juan Sebastian de Elcano, previously shown on aspanish 10p. stamp of 1964. Built by Echevarrieta y Larrinaga at Cadiz, in March 1927, she has a displacement at 3/4-load of 3,420 tons. Overall length is 308 ft beam 43 ft.; full load draft 23 ft. She carries four 6-pdr. guns. Her single Sulzer oil engine develops 800 b.h.p. giving her a speed of 9 knots. She carries 230 tons of oil; and is a single-screw vessel, with a range of 10,000 miles at 9.5 knots. The ship's complement is 224, with 80 cadets. The vessel is named after the first circumnavigator of the world, 1519-1520. She was designed by Mr. C. E.Nicholson, of Camper and Nicholsons Ltd., Southampton.
In 1717 the "Royal Company of Guardiamarinas" was created. It was in Cadiz where the first Academy was established and since then, despite numerous changes in its denomination and also in its location, it has been the institution where the officers of the Spanish Navy have received during these 300 years all the scientific, humanistic formation necessary to carry out their work in the army.
Following the French and English examples, it based its training on theoretical and practical education.
It was essential to know mathematics, cosmography, artillery and languages, but cadets also had to embark on one of the ships or frigates of the Navy to complete their training before receiving the title of officers.
In its origins, only the sons of nobles and of the officers, could accede to this formation.
There are several historical characters who passed through the Academy. Jorge Juan or Antonio de Ulloa, whom Correos dedicated a stamp last year, are the best known.
But there are many more. For example the Vicente of Tofiño, the author of the Devoyer of the coasts of Spain in the Mediterranean: and his correspondent of Africa, or the cartagenero Antonio de Escaño, member of the Council of Regency of Spain and Indias.
In 1777 other academies of midshipmen would be opened in Ferrol and Cartagena, similar to the Andalusian. In this way formed the numerous officers who would swell the ranks of the growing Spanish Armada.
Such was the success of the institution that not only the Spaniards had the honor to go through it. For example the Tsar Peter the Great of Russia, sent 22 officers to Cadiz to train them and thus to join the Navy of his country. Also, young people from Cuba, Argentina, Peru, Colombia or Chile were educated, almost all children of Spaniards and natives of the place who wanted to dedicate their life to the Navy.
The stamp, with an intense blue background reminiscent of the sea, captures the profile image of Knights Guardiamarinas and the Ship JUAN SEBASTIAN ELCANO.

In the News: "Does ShotSpotter really help reducing crime in Kansas City?"
KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -- ShotSpotter has been the inner-city sonar police have been using to track crime in Kansas City neighborhoods.
It was brought to Kansas City in 2012, partially thanks to federal grant money. But that money is now gone, and taxpayers are footing the bill.
Kansas City police say it works.
"So that's why we keep doing it, because it's showing real results," Councilman Quinton Lucas said.
Lucas is on the city's Public Safety Committee. He says the cost for the ShotSpotter is about the same as hiring one more officer, but it does a job an officer can't.
The city is asking for proposals and bids for different ways the police department can use technology to make neighborhoods safer.
"It may be a little while and before we have the drones that are flying around the city, but at the same time I think it's time for us to make sure we are using smarter technology," Lucas said.
Lucas says the city is open to anything and so are some residents.
"I think that it would help us a lot, to protect all of us out here so we don't have to be so scared," Vicky Banks said.
Police wouldn't say exactly how many sensors there are or where exactly they are. They did say that calls from those sensors have led to more than 100 arrests, more than 50 gun seizures and over 3,000 shell casings recovered since they were installed.

Reclaiming Social Justice
By Andy Smarick and Bruno V. Manno
The term "social justice" is typically associated with an aggressively progressive political agenda led by a muscular Uncle Sam. But there is an alternative understanding of social justice—one that is especially well-suited to helping the nation address many of today's most troubling challenges. It's time for conservatives to explain this approach and articulate an agenda for the future based on it.

Russia: At a glance
Russia is a sovereign country in Central Asia, with a total land area of approximately 16,377,742 sq km. Founded in the 12th century, the Principality of Muscovy, was able to emerge from over 200 years of Mongol domination (13th-15th centuries) and to gradually conquer and absorb surrounding principalities. In the early 17th century, a new ROMANOV Dynasty continued this policy of expansion across Siberia to the Pacific. Under PETER I (ruled 1682-1725), hegemony was extended to the Baltic Sea and the country was renamed the Russian Empire. During the 19th century, more territorial acquisitions were made in Europe and Asia. Defeat in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 contributed to the Revolution of 1905, which resulted in the formation of a parliament and other reforms. Repeated devastating defeats of the Russian army in World War I led to widespread rioting in the major cities of the Russian Empire and to the overthrow in 1917 of the imperial household. The communists under Vladimir LENIN seized power soon after and formed the USSR. The brutal rule of Iosif STALIN (1928-53) strengthened communist rule and Russian dominance of the Soviet Union at a cost of tens of millions of lives. The Soviet economy and society stagnated in the following decades until General Secretary Mikhail GORBACHEV (1985-91) introduced glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in an attempt to modernize communism, but his initiatives inadvertently released forces that by December 1991 splintered the USSR into Russia and 14 other independent republics. Since then, Russia has shifted its post-Soviet democratic ambitions in favor of a centralized semi-authoritarian state in which the leadership seeks to legitimize its rule through managed national elections, populist appeals by President PUTIN, and continued economic growth. Russia has severely disabled a Chechen rebel movement, although violence still occurs throughout the North Caucasus.

Optim roving. It's amazing stuff – it's wool, but is treated so that it is almost as fine a fiber as cashmere.
It's so ridiculously soft. There was a reason that Cristi wore some of it around her neck all day, and kept petting it.
1. I was a very picky eater as a child, but have managed to overcome that with a very few exceptions. I still cannot eat mushrooms, raw tomatoes, or shrimp. The weird thing about that is that ALL of those are texture issues – the flavor doesn't actually bother me at all.
2. I also can't stand mustard. I can taste the tiniest bit of mustard in just about anything. *shudder* That one IS a flavor thing.
3. I keep my cds and dvds in alphabetical order (Cds are also broken down into categories), and if one is missing, I can generally remember them well enough to know which one it is.
4. My nose does this weird clicky thing where the cartilage at the tip will actually pop and stay off-center. Kris jokes that I'm the first person he has met that can literally get her nose "out of joint".
6. When I eat anything that is in multicolored pieces (M&M's, Skittles, etc.), I always eat them so that I have equal numbers left of each color. Always.
7. I have a weird relationship with memes. Part of me hates them, and a part of me really wants to be tagged because it makes me feel like someone wants to hear what I have to say. Sick, I know.
And yes, I know that's only six people, but I know better than to try to tag Turtlegirl, and almost everyone else has done this already.
Ha! I do the exact same thing with Skittles, except I eat all the purple ones first (well, not all, but the majority of them), and then eat the rest of them evenly, because the purple are my least favourite.
That roving is like buttah!
I'm so jealous. I need some of that stuff. MOre than the fluff I ended up with. Hmm…what did I do with that anyway?
Look at that fluff! I always get distracted when someone shows me happy shiny roving. Fluff!
ooh. Nice soft dyeable (spelling is all off. No coffee) pron! I can't wait to see what you do with it!
I am totally with you on #1! For me it's a texture thing mostly too (though I can't stand the smell of mushrooms either)–the thought of the shrimp against my tastebuds just gives me the shivers! Such pretty roving you have.
Wow, don't dye it. It's amazing just as it is.
whoa, I almost could have written that list!
In regards to #5, I believe you! I'm exactly the same way. I also have to agree with you about #1 as well. My entire family makes fun of me for my picky eating habits, but there are just some things you can't get past. I'm happy to see I'm not the only one!

Whitney: Smithfield outbreak sheds light on state's COVID-19 response
Stu Whitney
If you were looking for good news this week as the COVID-19 crisis tightened its grip on Minnehaha County, there wasn't much to go on. The bad stuff was easy to find.
Most disturbing, perhaps, was Wednesday's revelation by state health officials, after days of persistent rumors, that 80 coronavirus cases had been confirmed at the former John Morrell meatpacking plant in Sioux Falls – the so-called "hot spot" referenced in an earlier briefing by Mayor Paul TenHaken.
The meat processing business, owned by Smithfield Foods, is one of the largest and most longstanding employers in Sioux Falls, a symbol of the city's once-thriving stockyards and packing industry.
More:More than 80 coronavirus cases confirmed at Smithfield Foods
The fact that its stricken employees now represent more than one-third of the total COVID-19 cases in the county opens a myriad of questions about the immediate future of the facility and how state and city officials will try to mitigate the damage.
On Thursday, Smithfield announced that it will close its Sioux Falls operation for three days, starting Saturday, "out of an abundance of caution." During that time, "essential employees" will perform cleaning and sanitize the plant and install more social distancing measures, the company said. It remains to be seen if this temporary pause will need to be extended into a more lasting closure.
While still unfolding, this Smithfield saga encapsulates many of the nagging and critical issues surrounding South Dakota's handling of the coronavirus pandemic under Gov. Kristi Noem, which has been marred by lack of information, flimsy messaging and ineffective actions to reduce community spread.
Here are a few Smithfield scenarios that could reverberate beyond this week:
Transparency matters
The fact that a major cluster of 80 cases was hinted at cryptically by TenHaken and then related as part of the daily rundown from state health officials creates more questions than answers. When did this problem emerge? How fast did the numbers rise? How were infected employees handled? When were state officials informed?
Smithfield reportedly saw its first positive case on March 26, nearly a week after company officials said the plant would maintain normal operations. That announcement came despite growing concerns about how the pandemic could affect a workplace with 3,700 employees dealing with crowded conditions and hands-on labor.
The fact that neither Smithfield nor city or state officials sought to inform the public (or respond to media inquiries) when cases increased exponentially points to a lack of transparency that has plagued South Dakota's coronavirus response from the start.
People are scared, and rightly so. Daily doses of reliable information can help lessen their fear.
What is truly essential?
Certainly meat processors that keep the food supply churning during a national emergency are vital businesses, but not at the cost of public harm. Several processors were shut down earlier this week after a rash of COVID-19 cases, including a Tyson plant in eastern Iowa.
The combination of workers who test positive and employees wary of unsafe conditions could prove to be a major hurdle for Smithfield moving forward. Of greater concern is whether they can persuade state health officials that operations can be resumed following the pause without further spread of the virus – a difficult assurance in any case and especially troublesome for packing plants.
Economic concerns are not to be ignored. Producers have made it clear that closing regional plants leaves them with few options to sell their wares, making a bad situation worse. The push-and-pull of mitigating the virus and trying to salvage what's left of the economy is a dilemma with consequences on many levels, not the least political.
One of the keys to "managing" COVID-19 is not only pinning down who has it and whether they recovered, but also who they encountered when contagious. Delays in testing and analysis impeded South Dakota's efforts to build infection data, but Sanford and Avera have accelerated their efforts.
There is much work to be done, but rapid-response testing and contact tracing – where those who may have been in close contact with an infected individual are monitored for signs of infection – could be the key to future easing of social restrictions.
Map:Coronavirus in South Dakota: Confirmed cases, latest news and updates
Health Secretary Kim Malsam-Rysdon said Wednesday that contact tracing was used on positive Smithfield cases and that "at this point we do not feel that there is a risk to folks outside of the individuals impacted."
Given the highly contagious nature of the disease and the fact that 80 cases were confirmed, that seems a rather remarkable statement. Public confidence in the state being able to perform effective tracing of these cases could hinge on how that assessment holds up.
Much like President Trump, Noem has taken heat for stumbling out of the gate with her COVID-19 response, minimizing the threat at times while stopping short of a full stay-at-home order. Citizens craving firm leadership amid an imaginable crisis were frequently told to simply take care of themselves and use good judgement.
But there's also the matter of just how much control the governor has over businesses, particularly those deemed essential by federal agencies. The Smithfield saga could prove an interesting clash between public safety and private interests, with Sioux Falls residents caught in the crossfire.
One solution would be federal intervention, though Senators John Thune and Mike Rounds and Congressman Dusty Johnson have kept their distance from the state's COVID-19 efforts. If Minnehaha County numbers continue to rise and health systems show signs of being overloaded, it's quite possible that a cavalry rush from our congressional delegation will have come too late.
Vulnerable among us
Shelter-in-place measures have shed light on social determinants of health that put low-income or homeless individuals at greater risk of illness. As unemployment rates rise and the economy sputters, this circle will only widen.
Smithfield's workforce represents a tapestry of immigrant and refugee individuals, many of them from large families, struggling with underlying health issues, multiple jobs and housing challenges. Add to that the communication quandary of a workforce with more than 50 languages and 300 dialects at a time when social distancing and sanitizing guidelines must be relayed.
As seen in urban areas such as New York City, Detroit and Chicago, vulnerable segments of society are especially imperiled amid social distancing, when the mere logistics of delivering aid can be daunting.
South Dakota doesn't have a major metro area, but coronavirus counts in Sioux Falls are worthy of concern. The unfolding drama at Smithfield could serve as a microcosm for how state and city officials handle this once-in-a-lifetime crisis, and how much they still have to learn.

Right Wing Rebel Archives
Who abandoned who?
July 30, 2008by Joecephus1 Comment
A little while ago I opened up a piece of mail that I received from the Republican National Committee. It pissed me off so much that I just had to write a reply.
Here is the letter:
(and no, they didn't address it to Mr. Rightwingrebel.)
Dear Mr. Rightwingrebel,
I don't want to believe you've abandoned the Republican Party, but I have to ask… Have you given up ?
Our records show we have not yet received your Republican National Committee membership renewal for the critical 2008 presidential election year.
As the Treasurer of the RNC, I know our Party's success depends directly on grassroots leaders like you.
So I am surprised and concerned especially because I know how generously you supported President Bush and the RNC in the past. You helped to advance our vision for America and elect Republicans at all levels of government.
Mr. Rightwingrebel, I know other things come up, and perhaps you've just been delayed in renewing your membership. If that's the case, I understand.
But we've not heard from you this year — and I hope you haven't deserted our Party.
Your generous financial assistance and active involvement are more important than ever as we work to elect a new Republican president and Congress.
There is so much at stake. The Democrats are determined to put a liberal like Barack Obama in the White House, expand their narrow majorities in the U.S. House and Senate, and push our country to the Left with their agenda of high taxes, big government and weakened national security.
Big Labor, radical liberal protest groups and Hollywood elites are planning to spend more than $500 million to defeat Republicans and aid the Democrat power grab.
Mr. Rightwingrebel, the RNC relies on the voluntary support of Republican activists like you.
That's why I urgently need you to renew your RNC membership for 2008 with a contribution of $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $50 or even $25.
The men and women who will represent us in this year's election are hard at work building strong campaigns.
And so is the RNC. We are doing our part to provide the research, staff support, voter registration, volunteer recruitment and training, and direct financial assistance our candidates need to win.
The RNC is the ONLY Republican organization permitted by federal law to directly support our presidential nominee.
If we fail to hold the White House and make gains in Congress, the Democrats have made clear they will overturn every reform you helped President Bush achieve.
Democrat presidential candidates and the Reid/Pelosi-run-Congress have promised to repeal the Bush tax cuts, retreat from the War on Terror and increase the size of government through their one-size-fits-all health care plan.
We cannot allow them to succeed ! That's why your renewed commitment is so important.
So if you have delayed in renewing your membership because you feel the RNC has let you down, or no longer needs you, please let me know. I want to hear from you.
Just include your comments and suggestions with the enclosed Membership Confirmation and return with your 2008 membership renewal check. You can also renew by calling 1-800-445-5781 or via our secure website at www.GOP.com/Treasurer2008.
But please don't turn your back on our Republican candidates running for office from the Courthouse to the White House; they are counting on your support. Renew your RNC membership today. Thank you.
Tim Morgan
RNC Treasurer
P.S. The 2008 elections are critical to the future of our nation. We need the support of every Republican to retain the White House, regain Congress and elect GOP legislators at all levels. Please don't quit on our Party and our cause now. Renew your RNC membership today.
Below is my reply, I don't know if I am going to even bother to mail it, it probably will not do any good. But I decided to post it here.
Dear Mr. Morgan,
I was so angered upon receiving the most recent fundraising request letter from the Republican National Committee, this particular one signed by you, that I have decided to reply.
You may be asking yourself what is it that upset me so much? Well, imagine my surprise when I open up the envelope from the RNC and read the very first paragraph which stated:
I don't want to believe you've abandoned the Republican Party, but I have to ask… Have you given up?
Quite frankly I was insulted, because it is myself who has been asking the same question of the Republican Party… Has it given up?
No Mr. Morgan, it is not I who have abandoned the Republican Party, but it is the GOP who sadly has abandoned myself and many other Conservatives like me.
Our current presumed, Presidential nominee is a man who contemplated leaving the Republican Party himself in the early portion of 2001, upset after having failed to win the nomination during the previous year's primary cycle. He is a man who seriously considered joining the John Kerry ticket and running as his vice-presidential candidate in 2004.
This is the face of the Republican Party?
In the past ten years the Republican Party has slid more and more to the left, to such a point that except for only a handful of issues it is extremely difficult to tell the difference between a Republican and a Democrat these days.
Thanks to so-called Republicans we have seen:
The Federal budget as well as the Federal Government in general balloon to proportions so gigantic, that even some of the biggest died-in-the-wool "big government" liberals are secretly envious at what our Republican President Bush has been able to do in that regard.
McCain/Feingold, drafted by our current presumed nominee and signed into law by our Republican President, which has completely trampled over the 1st Amendment.
McCain/Kennedy, another disgusting attempt at kissing up to Liberals by our current presumed nominee, which would have given a free pass to millions of law breaking illegal immigrants and was fully supported by our current Republican President.
Two brave Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who instead of receiving praise for a job well done have received jail sentences while the scumbag, drug trafficking, illegal they took down receives deals from federal prosecutors.
I'm sorry Mr. Morgan, but I cannot reward Republican Party for its bad behavior by giving it my hard earned money.
Rest assured, despite the fact that on a whole host of issues, Sen. McCain is nothing more then a Democrat-lite, I will be holding my nose in disgust as I cast my ballot for him this November. I believe the stakes are far too high to let a political novice, with the false sirens cry of "change" masking his socialist tendencies into the White House. But, what I will not be doing anytime soon is parting with any of my money to give to the RNC.
Maybe if the RNC decides to:
Fight to seal our nations borders nice and tight,
Round-up, arrest and deport law breaking illegal immigrants.
Apply heavy handed punishments to companies and indivisuals who support and employee illegals,
Free and fully pardon the wrongfully imprisoned Border Patrol Agents,
Denounce and repeal McCain/Feingold,
Stand up to Al Gore and the lunatic global warming zeolets,
Make a commitment, to start tapping into our Nations crude oil deposits and drill in places like ANWR
Make a commitment to building new refineries here in America.
Make a commitment to ending all pork barrell spending,
Make a comitment and a true efffort to DECREASE the size of the Federal Government
Make a commitment to decreasing taxes and simplifying the tax code,
Make a true commitment to standing by the time honored and true Conservative principles of Liberty, Personal Freedom and Indivisual Responsibility.
I might consider parting with my money, but not until I see the GOP as a whole abandon its decade long swing to the left, and realign itself as a true Conservative Party, and not until I see the GOP apologize and make amends to Conservatives like myself whom it has abandoned.

Dandy Darkly's All Aboard!
The American nightmare personified
Make sure you have your seatbelt on because Dandy Darkly wants to take you on a spooky story-telling ride on the Gaybird Steamer into a dystopian, yet recognisable, world full of the weird and wonderful.
Dressed like a character from American Horror Story: Freak Show, Dandy encapsulates American nostalgia and subverts it into something spine-chilling. This is no American dream – this is the American nightmare personified (with a dash of glitter).
The characters that move from Dandy's mind to mouth are resplendently imagined and the vernacular sounds akin to the luminaries of Southern American literature. The eloquence of the writing and story is poetic and imaginatively merges the old-school canon with a story that features robots and the smashing of gender's suffocating boundaries.
The soundtracked band mixed in with the words added an extra layer of ambience, but it was a pity that he didn't have a live band as this would have added a more grandiose feel that would match his performance style.
Unfortunately, a story-telling slot at 11.10pm feels misplaced, and an earlier hour would have allowed for the audience to be more engaged in this highly provocative and unusual hour. It may be a little too freaky for some people's tastes but nonetheless, its uniqueness in itself is a cause for celebration.

Q: Is 'distinctives' an obsolete word? Elsewhere on Stack Exchange I noticed the word 'distinctive' used as a noun and its plural expressed :

How can we educate new users about our site distinctives ?

Bible Hermeneutics - Meta
The OED states that the word 'distinctive' is both an adjective and a noun but it lists references to the noun only up to the nineteenth century.
I can see that the word has a different meaning to 'characteristics' in that 'distinctives' refers to particular characteristics which distinguish something from others of its type.
So, a word which may be useful and a word which someone has used in living memory but is it, officially, an obsolete word ?

A: TL;DR of my post: It hasn't fallen out of use enough/doesn't fit the criteria for obsoleteness, and the plural noun form is still used today.

No.
But before we can proceed, we must look at what makes a word obsolete.

"We rarely take words out of our dictionaries," says Mary O'Neill, managing editor of the largest single-volume English language dictionary, the unabridged Collins English Dictionary, which clocks in at 2,305 pages. "This is especially true of our larger dictionaries. If we find that a word has fallen out of general use, or is not used as much as it was before, we usually label such words as 'obsolete,' 'archaic,' or 'old-fashioned' rather than deleting them entirely."

This paragraph, from Mary O'Neill of the CED, tells us that words that have fallen out of general use have the possibility of being marked obsolete.
But does distinctive(s) match this criterion?
Well, on the OED page, it's marked as a Band 6 word, though this is probably for the adjectival form, is:

Band 6 contains words which occur between 10 and 100 times per million words in typical modern English usage, including a wide range of descriptive vocabulary. It contains many nouns referring to specific objects, entities, processes, and ideas, running from dog, horse, ship, machine, mile, assessment, army, career, stress to gas, explosion, desert, parish, envelope, and headache...

So this implies that it's a word used as much as desert, to name one.
If we head over to NGrams, the word, including the noun form, appears to be on the up!
But if we head over to pretty much all dictionaries, even Google's, it doesn't appear to be a word.
However, as distinctives is the understandable plural of distinctive, lexicographers won't remove words that can be drawn from other words.
From Peter Gilliver, Senior Editor of the OED:

"Because a word like livery is still current, we don't mark the extremely scarce derivative liveryless as obsolete because it is formed from elements which are still current and could be re-formed at any time."

This applies to distinctives. (distinctive + -s plural)
Here is a book example from 2007 where it's used as a noun.  There are more examples, should you care to look.
Since distinctive as a noun is still a used word today (See NGrams again); not marked as rare or otherwise, we can draw the conclusion:
There is no evidence to support it being rare; as a noun, it is still used today; therefore it is not, by most standards, an obsolete word.

It is being reported that Rihanna has declined to perform at Super Bowl LIII half time in support of former 49ner Colin Kaepernick. US Weekly is reporting an insider revealed to them that, "The NFL and CBS really wanted Rihanna to be next year's performer in Atlanta. They offered it to her, but she said no because of the kneeling controversy. She doesn't agree with the NFL's stance.
Kaepernick was the first NFL player to kneel during the nation anthem and has become an international figure for his act. Many believe that act of courage has cost him his career.
After Rihanna refused the offer, the NFL extended it to Maroon 5. It has been reported that Cardi B might be a special guest during Maroon 5's set at the 2019 championship game at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
