Carolina's Story by Simon Walters
Place a piece of paper on your head. On the paper, without looking, draw a picture of a girl. Start with the head, the hair, then the features on the face, eyes, nose, ears and mouth, then the torso, the arms and hands, the legs and feet, and finally the genitals. Do not look at the picture until you have reached the end of this piece.
Carolina is 15 years old, and from one of the poorest neighbourhood's in Nicaragua's capital, Managua. She has to look after her two younger brothers, both of which come from different fathers. She herself has a one-year-old son. When she was 13 years old she was raped by her stepfather and uncle, after the two of them had come from a late-night drinking session.
The dysfunctional nature of her family meant going to college to get an education was never an option. Since she was 9 years old she was forced out onto the dangerous streets of Managua, to sell cigarettes and chewing gum at one of the many party and bar zones in the city.
One night, another gruelling night of selling cigarettes to the drunks at 2am, a man, a foreigner, came and spoke to her. He was drunk, and smelt heavily of beer and smoke, but he wanted to spend the night with her. He said he would give her $20 if she agreed. Carolina disagreed, the man was revolting. When she did so, the man smacked her, around the face. It was in full view of everybody, but nobody really seemed to take notice. She eventually agreed, and went with the man to one of Managua's many motels. The man forced himself onto her, breathing heavily as he penetrated her. The pain for Carolina didn't seem to last too long, somehow her body went numb, she fell into a form of daze, no longer really aware of what was happening around her.
Two nights later the same man spotted Carolina at her usual spot by the bars. As he spoke to her in his broken Spanish, Carolina took in little of what was being said, focusing only a few words, Costa Rica, new life, good employment. Defences had been broken. The following day the man went with Carolina to her home. Her stepfather hurriedly signed the permission slip for this man to take her to Costa Rica, only too happy to get the unhappy girl that he had raped out of his home. Carolina's mother seemed far less sure about the decision, and very suspicious about the employment. A few slaps to the face from Carolina's stepfather however quickly made her change her mind.
In a remarkable short space of time all documents were signed, and Carolina found herself on the bus to Costa Rica. She had never left Nicaragua before, and was nervous, but excited about what awaited her. Nine hours went by, the journey was quite slow as for some reason they had been held up at the border, but they finally arrived at San Jose. It was about 8pm. The man had told her he would take her to her new home. This new home was on a dirty but busy street. They entered through the side door, it was locked behind her. She stepped on a used condom. She saw dozens of girls, all of them in mini-skirts and high heels. None of them looked any older than her. None of them looked her in the eyes. Things were feeling very strange. Two men approached her. One of them grabbed her by the hands, the other she saw lowering his pants. She went numb again.
15 months later and Carolina is now back in Nicaragua. In total she worked at 6 different bars in San Jose, where she was abused, beaten up, raped and exploited sexually for commercial purposes on a nightly basis. She is now being cared for at the Casa Alianza protection centers in Nicaragua.
Her story is devastatingly common. Girls coming from impoverished backgrounds in extremely macho cultures, themselves victims of violence and abuse, finding themselves forced into sexual abuse and exploitation with little or no chance of escape. They are broken down physically and psychology.
Carolina's story is not real. There is no Carolina, but after having spent nearly three years living in Central America, in which I have spent over half that time working for Casa Alianza, an NGO working to protect children in extraordinary risk, her story is all too real.
The reality is great, and there are steps which must be taken by us all to prevent children, women and girls facing such extraordinarily difficult situations:
We must provide training to families to care properly for their children, especially female children
We must provide awareness about domestic violence, and the support for women who are the victims such crimes
We must tackle macho cultures which enable and accept violence and other crimes against women and girls
We must provide the care and support for the women and girls who have been victims of crimes such as this, providing the psychological and physical care needed
We must never tolerate any form of violence against women and girls.
And now, let's go back to your drawing. I am sure the image you have constructed is not a beautiful piece of art. I am sure, in fact, that it is a very mutilated image. And so why did I ask you to do this? Because this mutilated image shows the destruction done, both on the inside and the outside, to the girls and women who are the victims of abuse, violence, sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
We must unite to provide the training and awareness to prevent violence against women.
Simon was born in the UK, although he has been fortunate to spend large parts of his life in different countries, working as an English teacher, radio presenter, trainer of debating and public speaking, and coordinator of Model United Nations events.
He holds a First Class MA in History from the University of Edinburgh, and a MA in International Law and Human Rights from the United Nations University for Peace.
He is currently based in Managua, Nicaragua, where he has spent the past year and a half working for the NGO Casa Alianza Nicaragua. Casa Alianza works to protect, support and rehabilitate children and teens in situations of extraordinary risk. This includes boys and girls living on the streets, many with addiction problems to harmful substances, victims of abandonment, intra-family violence, child labor exploitation, sexual abuse and exploitation, and human trafficking.
He currently works for the organization as a specialist member of staff, working to organize sustainable and healthy activities for all the kids being cared for by Casa Alianza, as well as working as an international development consultant to the various Casa Alianza sites in Latin America.

Day 12- Women's Activism in Central America and the Caribbean
Central America and the island nations adjacent to it in the Caribbean Sea are often an unknown or forgotten part of the world. The biodiversity and fragile, supple ecosystems of these countries are under attack but so too are the people of this region. The high rates of violence in Central America and the damaging effects of climate change in the Caribbean mean that everyone here is on high alert. Two organizations that operate around the world to help women, but are particularly active in Central America are Vital Voices, the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association and MADRE. Though I will attempt to find as much as possible in English, a number of the links today may be in Spanish, if they are, it will be clear.
Guatemala: The murder rate in Guatemala is 49 of every 100,000 people. Frighteningly, it is not the highest in the region. But the rate of violence against women in this Central American country was enough to prompt a United States federal court to rule that immigration officials should reconsider the asylum request of a woman because she would suffer violence and possibly death if she returned to Guatemala. But some Guatemalan women are using activism within the US to demand a review of America's policies. Norma Cruz, founder of Fundacion Sobrevivientes, "staged a hunger strike in front of the US Supreme Court to protest the illegal adoption of stolen children from Guatemala…."
Belize: A relatively new country, Belize's social stratification is a complex web of ethnicity and race. Gender based violence is also problem in Belize, one of the many countries last year to participate in the UN's 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence. The other major problem for Belize is destruction of its ecosystem: Belize is home to the second largest barrier reef in the world but the delicacy of this ecosystem means that any changes in the global temperature or sea levels can be disastrous.
El Salvador: In a country plagued by civil war, internal terrorism and political violence, it may be hard to imagine that life for women is more dangerous after the peace accords were signed, but it's true for El Salvador- the country with the highest murder rate in the world in 2009. In a country where women's average salary is 28% lower than men's, rates of murder and rape of women rose after the war. Salvadoreños also deal with US intervention, especially when it comes to mining, on a regular basis. Go here to send support to activists from Cispes El Salvador who have received death threats because of their vocal objections to US intervention there. Unsurprisingly, LGBTQAI rights in El Salvador are also under attack, but Entre Amigos (in English) is not afraid to stand up for what's right.
Honduras: Lower than El Salvador but higher than Guatemala, Honduras's murder rate is 67/100,000 inhabitants. The 2009 coup that expelled the former-President has left women in political limbo, but they are still in the streets demanding their human rights. Activists in El Frente are frequently targeted for their participation in anti-Lobo (the new President) demonstrations. If you are interesting in participating in a training session for the health and safety of activists fighting for the rights of sweatshop workers in Honduras, go here.
Nicaragua: The feminist movement in Nicaragua has the same generational aches and growing pains as the women's movement in the US but some young Nica women are actively working to make the label "feminist" a positive one. Women's rights activists in Nicaragua have been persecuted by the Catholic Church but support letters from Amnesty International followers gave them the strength to continue their fight. This page concisely explains women's grim reality in Nicaragua. This blog highlights the work of one of my colleagues who is volunteering his time to help the street children of Nicaragua.
Costa Rica: Many unique international organizations working for women's rights operate out of Costa Rica, including the Feminist International Radio Endeavour (FIRE), and the UN-mandated University for Peace which offers a MA in Gender & Peacebuilding. Also in CR the Instituto Nacional de las Mujeres and the Centro de Investigacion en Estudios de la Mujer Universidad de Costa Rica are working academically to shape and improve women's realities.
Panama: Panama's first lady, on International Women's Day, called for a nonviolent revolution to bring about gender equality in the country. Gender based violence and poverty are two major concerns for Panamanian women, in addition to "unequal access to education, and lack of political activism." But many women in Panama do take to the streets in a different form of activism.
The Bahamas: Spousal rape and the ability to transfer citizenship to their children are two of the most contentious issues Bahamian women are fighting against and for, respectively. Part of the frustration of feminists in the Bahamas comes from women simply following men's lead in politics. Rest assured though that if and when Bahamian women stand up for their rights, they will not be denied.
Cuba: The Revista Mujeres highlights the work and inequalities women face in Cuba today. One of the most vocal groups in Cuba Las Damas de Blanco visibly protest the government's detention of their sons and husbands for their own political protests.
Jamaica: Homophobia is Jamaica has garnered the ire of LGBTQAI activists in the US but activists in Jamaica have their own hands full battling "corrective rape" of lesbians and violence against women in general. Racism is also still prevalent in Jamaica, but activists are speaking out against that too.
Haiti: Poor Haiti. Hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, diseases, and violence have marked Haiti's recent history, with women suffering the most for it. Haiti lost three of its most influential women's rights activists to the 2010 earthquake. The women who made rape a crime in Haiti, only in 2005, would have been heartbroken to hear the tragic tales of sexual violence in the makeshift camps that were constructed after the earthquake. Those women left behind continue to fight against violence, and rape (including testifying at the UN Court of Human Rights) and to have their voices heard. This year's V-Day campaign also alerts the world to the plight of women in Haiti.
Puerto Rico: Although this island is not an independent nation, and is in fact, under the authority of the US, Puerto Rican women face unique challenges. This Master's thesis by Matthew Perez of Ohio University explores the intersectionality of oppression that Puerto Ricans face. Activists in Puerto Rico two years ago seized the capital in a peaceful protest to decry the laws there that they say promote female submission to men and violence against women.
St. Lucia: The St. Lucia Crisis Center has participated for years in activities to bring about an end to violence against women, including AIDS awareness workshops. One of St. Lucia's most vocal women's rights activists, Flavia Cherry, spoke out about discrimination she has faced from the Minister of Gender Relations because of her political association.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines: As in the US, many, if not most rapes in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, a tiny island nation in the Caribbean Sea, are not reported. But when a female police officer accuses the Prime Minister of rape and the charges are dropped without investigation, it is too disheartening. This article is a good recent historical summary of the obstacles women face in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Trinidad and Tobago: The environment is one area that has been difficult for female activists in Trinidad and Tobago to break into, but Yvonne Ashby has managed to make her voice heard. Gender and feminism in the black power movement are explored in this essay, and at least one activist in this country has been harassed by the police for her vocal objections to the treatment of children and women. Trinidad and Tobago's female Prime Minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, has promised that this year the country will establish a national Commission on the Status of Women, hopefully this will help address the concerns of the women and activists of Trinidad and Tobago.

Q: Meu state React, não funciona? Meu state não funciona por nada, já li na documentação, fiz igual como devem observar sou novo no react, exemplo do meu código:
export default class Cursos extends Component{

    state = {dataLoad: '' };
    state = { isHungry: '' };

    componentDidMount(){

     console.log(data.cursos)
       this.setState({ isHungry: 'false' });
       this.setState({
            dataLoad:'teste'
        })
        console.log(isHungry)
    }

A: Olá, como iniciou o seu projeto React?
É necessário importar o react e depois escrever a function. Começa aprendendo a escrever seus componentes em formato de funções que é mais fácil de aprender e atual. O estado declarei na const onde o name é a variável que será utilizada no seu componente react, e o setName é onde você irá setar o nome e controlar esse state, caso você crie uma função, o setName('Novo nome') serve para você controlar esse estado cuidando de um dos fundamentos do react que é a imutabilidade. Como já deixei o nome João ali, ele irá retornar para você entre as tags div.
import React, { useState } from 'react'

function nomeDoComponent() {
  const [name, setName] = useState('João')

  return (
{name}
)
}

export default nomeDoComponent

A: Realmente você está iniciando, o estado do componente como foi criado não vai funcionar, é isolado apenas a um local e nele pode ter vários estados no caso exemplifico assim:
state = {dataLoad: '', isHungry: ''};

e para alterar os seus estados podendo ser individual:
this.setState({dataLoad: true});

ou em conjunto:
this.setState({dataLoad: true, isHungry: false});

resolvi contudo exemplificar um simples componente:

class Cursos extends React.Component {
    state = {dataLoad: '', isHungry: '' };
    componentDidMount(){
      this.setState({dataLoad: true, isHungry: false});
    }
    render() {
      return (

{new String(this.state.dataLoad)}

{new String(this.state.isHungry)}

      )
    }
}

ReactDOM.render(<Cursos/>, document.getElementById('root'));

tem também com hooks ou Componentes Funcionais, como nesse exemplo:

function Cursos() {
  const [dataLoad, setDataLoad] = React.useState('');
  const [isHungry, setIsHungry] = React.useState('');
  React.useEffect(() => {
    setDataLoad(true);
    setIsHungry(false);
  }, []);
  return (

{new String(dataLoad)}

{new String(isHungry)}

  )
}

ReactDOM.render(<Cursos/>, document.getElementById('root'));

Plans for 'Bohemian Rhapsody' sequel underway
Entertainment / 12 March 2019, 5:00pm / Bang Showbiz
Best Actor Rami Malek poses with his award backstage. Picture: Reuters
Rudi Dolezal has spilled that a follow-up to the biopic has been "heavily discussed" with the band's manager Jim Beach after the first movie bagged four Academy Awards.
Speaking to the New York Post's Page Six column about Jim's ideas, he said: "I'm sure he plans a sequel that starts with Live Aid."
'Bohemian Rhapsody' ends with the band's legendary performance at 1985 benefit concert Live Aid with singer Freddie Mercury reconciling with his bandmates and revealing the news to them that he has contracted HIV.
At this year's Oscars, Rami Malek was named Best Actor for his portrayal of frontman Freddie - who died at the age of 45 in 1991 from AIDS-related pneumonia - whilst the movie also received golden statuettes for Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing.
Meanwhile, Queen + Adam Lambert are set to star in a new documentary.
The 'American Idol' star joined forces with the remaining touring members of the group - guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor -
back in 2011 filling in for Freddie on vocals and they have continued to tour together to critical acclaim, selling out concerts all over the globe.
Adam's story with the 'Radio Ga Ga' hitmakers will be told in new two-hour documentary entitled 'The Show Must Go On'.
Previously taking to Twitter to share the news, Adam posted:"So excited about our documentary "The Show Must Go On - The Queen + Adam Lambert Story" airing on @ABCNetwork on April 29th!! @QueenWillRock (sic)"

Q: How to display custom layout with ng-repeat Edit: My original question was not good enough, so edited it now.
Hi Im new to angular and im trying to display a custom Layout
for my data list with ng-repeat. I cant use ng-class, as I would like to display diffent model vaules too.
I implemented a function in my controller, that calculates true or false according to my desired design. Then im trying to use ng-if to display my desired HTML with the data. The way I implemeted seems a bit awkward, especially if the layout gets more complicated, is there a better way to achieve this behaviour?
Here a sample: http://plnkr.co/edit/puE7OE?p=info
Controller:
var app = angular.module('plunker', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
   $scope.eventModels=[{name:'event1', description: 'description1'}, {name:'event2', description: 'description2'},
   {name:'event3', description: 'description3'}, {name:'event4', description: 'description4'},
   {name:'event5', description: 'description5'}, {name:'even6', description: 'description6'}, {name:'even7', description: 'description7'}];

    var counter = 0;
    this.isLarge = false;
    $scope.isLargeContainer = function() {
         if(counter === 0) {
            this.isLarge = true;
            counter++;
        } else {
            this.isLarge = false;
            if(counter === 2) {
                counter = 0;
            } else {
                counter++;
            }
        }
    };
});

View:

my large event: {{eventModel.name}}, {{eventModel.description}}

{{eventModel.name}}

Thanks a lot in advance!
Im using Anguler 1.3.3

A: I just solved your problem. You can find the solution here:
http://jsfiddle.net/anasfirdousi/46saqLmw/

Here is the HTML

var myApp = angular.module('myApp',[]);

function myController($scope){

$scope.msg = 'Learning Angular JS ng-class Directive';
    $scope.menu = [ 'Menu Item 1','Menu Item 2','Menu Item 3','Menu Item 4'];

}
.large {
    font-size:16px;

}

body{
font-size:12px;

}

    {{ msg }}

  {{ value }}

In your case, you actually have to use ng-class with expressions. The class is applied only if the condition holds true.

A: http://jsfiddle.net/anasfirdousi/cuo6cn3L/
Check the above link. This is another example if you want to do it on any specific condition. You can call a function which checks a condition and returns either a true or a false rather than using an inline expression.

var myApp = angular.module('myApp',[]);

function myController($scope){

$scope.msg = 'Learning Angular JS ng-class Directive';
    $scope.menu = [ 'Menu Item 1','Menu Item 2','Menu Item 3','Menu Item 4'];
    $scope.CheckSometing =  function(v){

        if(v=='Menu Item 3'){
             return true;
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }

    }

}
.large {

Goldcorp Inc. (NYSE: GG, TSX: G) ("Goldcorp") and Newmont Goldcorp Corporation (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT) ("Newmont Goldcorp" or "the Company") today announced the successful conclusion of the transaction combining Newmont Mining Corporation and Goldcorp to form the world's leading gold business.
Newmont Goldcorp features an unmatched portfolio of assets, prospects and talent. This portfolio includes long-life operations and profitable expansion and exploration options in some of the world's most favorable mining jurisdictions. Newmont Goldcorp will also offer investors the highest annual dividend and the largest Reserves and Resources per share among senior gold producers.
Newmont Goldcorp will continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with the ticker 'NEM', and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) with the ticker 'NGT'. Goldcorp's common shares are expected to be delisted from the NYSE before market open on April 18, 2019, and from the TSX after market close on April 22, 2019.
A source familiar with the negotiations confirmed Wednesday afternoon that a Canopy Growth deal with Acreage was "98% done," though the final price was still being worked out. Acreage had a market cap of $2.45 billion as of Wednesday's close, but the deal will be worth "several billions" in Canadian dollars, the source said.
If Canopy Growth were to outright acquire Acreage, though, it would run afoul of rules for the Toronto Stock Exchange, where its shares are listed. The TSX does not allow companies to own stakes in businesses that run illegal operations, which Acreage technically does because marijuana is still federally illegal in the U.S. Canopy would also have to give up its U.S. listing, which was cross-listed from the TSX, and instead look to the Canadian Securities Exchange and over-the-counter trading in the U.S., as publicly-listed U.S. companies do.
Instead, Canopy Growth will purchase the rights to buy Acreage when (or if) marijuana becomes federally legal in the U.S. at an agreed-upon price, according to the source. Many cannabis companies in Canada have purchased warrants in companies with U.S. operations, and Canopy already has some, including in Slang Worldwide Inc and others owned by its Canopy Rivers Inc. investment subsidiary, which is listed on the TSX Venture exchange.
To put that $4.7 billion figure into perspective, the highest-valued NBA team of all time, the New York Knicks, is worth slightly less, at $4 billion.
Also hitting the $4 billion mark: the prom industry, digital ink, omega-3 supplements, and the package coating industries are all worth about $4 billion each. The entirety of Canada's legal weed market is also valued at about $4 billion.
Federal law currently classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug, a category for deadly substances with no accepted medical use. But that doesn't exempt marijuana businesses from reporting taxable income to Uncle Sam, regardless of whether the business is state-licensed or underground.
However, due to tax codes for folks handling Schedule I drugs, weed entrepreneurs cannot make the usual tax write-offs that other businesses can, such as deductions for employee payroll or licensing fees. Which means pot shops and other cannabis producers are effectively taxed at an incredible 90 percent rate, Quartz reported.
Furthermore, since US banks won't open accounts for legal weed businesses, all payments were made in cash. With a payday of $4.7 billion, that comes to about 47,000 tons of cold, hard cash, assuming every tax payment was paid entirely in $100 bills.
How will 2018's Tax Day fare for the federal government? Since the last day to file was yesterday, those numbers are still rolling in. But early tax data for 2018 showed recreational weed drew in over $1 billion in taxes, so it's safe to say the feds will probably see yet another gratuitous payday for a plant it deems so dangerous that some federal inmates are still serving life sentences just for growing it.
Continuing to demonstrate its passion for providing low-dose cannabis edibles that consumers love, Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) (the "Company" or "PLUS") today announced a new line of mints and the launch of the first flavor, Classic Mint.
The microdosing movement is not slowing down, and more people are implementing cannabis into their healthy lifestyle. Mints are the perfect mechanism for delivering low-dose cannabis for those who may not want something quite as sweet or potent as a higher milligram gummy.
Refreshing and delicious, PLUS Classic Mint flavored tablets contain 2.5 mg THC and less than 0.1 mg CBD each There are 40 mints per tin.
PLUS Classic Mints are available at a limited number of licensed retailers across the state of California and will be launched market wide at the Hall of Flowers cannabis trade show on April 30th.
Canadians bought 6,671 kilograms of cannabis in February, down about nine per cent from the prior month, and the lowest amount since the last two weeks in October when 6,415 kilograms were sold, according to data released by Health Canada late Wednesday.
While the legal cannabis market has been hit by supply issues and packaging problems, and the black market has continued to flourish, Health Canada stated the sales decline is largely attributed to fewer days in February. As well, the average daily sales of dried cannabis in February increased by one per cent compared to January – from 236 to 238 kilograms, the government agency said.
Meanwhile, the total amount of inventory of finished and unfinished dried cannabis held by cultivators, processors, distributors and retailers totalled 144,470 kilograms in February, approximately 21.7 times the amount of total sales in the month, Health Canada said. The total amount of finished dried cannabis products held in inventory at the end of February was 23,739 kilograms, up 17.7 per cent compared to January.
Total sales of cannabis oil in February was 7,244 litres, a decline of 8.5 per cent, although average daily sales of cannabis oil increased by 1.3 per cent.
Finished inventory held by provincial and territorial distributors and retailers increased 16 per cent for dried cannabis, and 9.3 per cent for cannabis oil from the prior month, Health Canada said.
Cannabis sales fell 4.9 per cent in January to $53 million from December, the most recent month data is available, according to Statistics Canada.
A survey of 500 cannabis users conducted by BMO Capital Markets released earlier this month found 35 per cent of all respondents indicated they have purchased legal recreational cannabis. Nearly two-thirds of those legal cannabis users indicated that they plan to purchase legal recreational cannabis again.

Challenge yourself on this popular loop through the rolling hills of North County San Diego. Elfin Forest, also called Swami's Loop, is the route of one of the longest standing and very fast Saturday group rides in San Diego. From our starting point, we head north on Pacific Coast Highway through the funky community of Leucadia, and then east along Batiquitos Lagoon to the start of the rollers up to San Elijo Hills. The turn to Elfin Forest Road brings us immediately into the beauty and quiet of the area so close to the populous towns we just left. Continuing through Elfin Forest we roll alongside Escondido Creek to "The Church", the regrouping point for the group ride and a great water stop. More rolling hills, some bigger than others, await us continuing on to Lake Hodges as we wind our way back towards the coast, passing through Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach. From here, it's a nice cool-down up the coast with great views of the Pacific. Join us on this beautiful, hilly, and famous San Diego ride!
Beautiful views, a mix of terrain, are key to all the San Diego rides – Torrey Pines and Oceanside are no exception.

Fine, soft hair comes into its own when styled in a pixie cut! A layered pixie cut shows off the fluffy texture of silky-soft fine hair and makes it easy to get that volume you've always wanted. So if you want to avoid the familiar flopped look that plagues all of us who have straight, fine hair – here are some great ways to sport short pixie cuts for fine hair!
Simple everyday short haircut for women: Strictly speaking, white-gold blonde has taken over from platinum blonde this season. It's a subtle difference, but white-gold is a slightly warmer and more flattering shade. This high-fashion pixie cut borrows the trendy short-back-and-sides boy-cut and creates lots of interesting volume and texture in the longer hair on top. The fringe, which can be adjusted to flatter lots of different face shapes, covers the forehead in a shaggy diagonal line across the top of the face. In particular, the top volume, shaggy texture and buzzed sides with no side-burns create the perfect short hairstyle for a round face.
Feminine pixie cut: At the other extreme, here's a more natural-looking pixie cut that copies the lines of an Eton crop, but with added layering to create more lift on top. This asymmetric pixie hairstyle is softer and with an off-centre parting, it suits the oval face shape of the model. However, moving the parting will allow your stylist to tailor the look to flatter a round or heart-shaped face. To flatter a long or thin face add waves or curls at the sides to add 'width'.
Best short haircut for women: The colour combination on this tousled pixie for fine hair is totally new! It has a light-copper-brown base which is a warm colour, broken up by a neutral blonde shade, which is a cool colour! This fresh colour idea works well on fine hair for two reasons. First of all, adding bleached highlights to healthy, fine hair is a great way to thicken the hair strands and create more body. Secondly, as both of the colours are light-tones, there isn't too much of a contrast between them. Copper shades bring warmth to a pale complexion and this young woman is wearing an eye-brow pencil shade that matches her hair perfectly!
There is something so attractive about the golden-blonde shades! As well as flattering a wide range of skin tones, medium gold with white gold balayage is a great way to get texture and light reflexions on a pixie cut for fine hair. This swept-over short hairstyle has longer layers than some pixies for thin hair, but it works well as the lightening process makes fine hair denser and adds natural volume!
We love the wash and go aspect of this cute, short pixie for thin hair. The top is layered to make it easy to fluff up your hair and if you need extra body, just give it a spray with dry shampoo powder and leave overnight. I have fine hair and a very similar pixie cut to this, which I boost with Schwarzkopf's Got2be Powderful volumising powder. It's an absolute godsend to thin hair, because it really works. You only need a tiny bit of powder to keep your hair from going flat all day and all night! Notice the dual blonde highlights adding texture and depth in one of our favourite daily hairstyles for fine hair.
This smart young woman's fine, thin hair has been cleverly managed to create a totally chic look! With an all-over lightening treatment, the hair shafts are instantly thickened, so you can have long layers with sufficient natural body to look great! The back has a mini-stacked look to create a lovely, rounded shape with defined pointed strands adding volume and texture. The colour texture comes from using two very light shades of blonde and the result is a very sophisticated pixie hairstyle for (previously) thin hair!
This silvery-blonde shade with blue/lavender tones is perfect to tone down a ruddy complexion! It's another all-over lightening project, which will give any short, thin-hair style a huge volume boost. This cute pixie cut for fine hair, is also a short bob hairstyle, with a modern asymmetrical side parting and a swept-across ultra-long fringe. The back has a lightly stacked back, creating that beautiful rounded curve above the neck. And the sides sections have medium-textured tips to create an attractively sharp, slightly ragged finish when a little styling cream is applied.
Latest popular short hairstyles for 2016: Looking for something special to display your avant-garde fashion style? This is the look for you! This soft-grey shade harmonises beautifully with the model's pale, but warm complexion. The sides are cut around the ear with long, straight side points. To emphasise the creativity of this look, the front has been lightened to a wheaty-blonde shade – adding a gentle, and wholly unexpected, contrast colour! Fine hair looks fabulous in this style, as the length on top can easily be styled for added volume and texture, whilst the silky-smooth fringe and back section drape beautifully in soft curves!
What you notice first about this cute pixie cut is the lovely texture and movement achieved in the model's fine hair. Thin hair always looks thicker in a short hairstyle and the trendy, brushed-forward styles create volume more easily than hair combed in its natural direction. This stylish look can be worn as an everyday hairstyles option or for a special event! As an example of popular daily hairstyles, it has lots of interesting features, from the soft white-blonde shade to the short, curved half-forehead fringe. We love how it's graduated down to a pretty curved side-point, framing the eyes and upper face.
African American short pixie cut idea: I love this new shade of lavender-pink. It's a fresh, high-fashion/party shade that looks super-cute on soft, fine hair in a short hairstyle. Pre-lightening fine hair adds body and the carefully layered top, graduated into adorably wispy tips at each side, creates the perfect shape to counteract a heavy jawline. The top has loads of attractive texture in the lightly textured tips and although the model has an oval face, the short side-swept fringe can be infinitely varied to flatter different face-shapes.
Hair color ideas for short pixie cut: This cute coral-pink pixie cut is suitable for heart, round and oval faces. The fringe disguises a broad forehead, the shortness of the fringe adds length to a round face and the height on top also adds flattering, facial 'length'. Coral pink looks best against a warm skin tone, as there's a touch of yellow-orange in the reflections that will harmonise with your skin's golden tones. Soft colours help balance out heavy, straight eye-brows and draw attention away from a slightly larger-than-you'd-like nose.
There's a dramatic difference in this long to short pixie makeover! This really shows the power of contemporary, short hairstyles, because the model has a completely different image after losing the rather 'ordinary' long blonde hair and gaining an edgy platinum-blue-blonde pixie! With the hair lightened all over, you get coarser hair strands that can be worn in long layers without looking thin. Hair can be cut with sharply textured tips, like this high-fashion look, confirming that asymmetrical short hairstyles for fine hair pack a huge style punch!
Hairstyles for fine hair that's also a dirty-blonde, mousey-brown shade benefit from blonde highlights. However, that doesn't have to mean anything harsh, as you can see from the flattering short hairstyle for thin hair below. Neutral or wheat-blonde streaks in the top layer, with the underlayer left its natural shade, mimics the effect of summer sunshine. This also creates 3-D colour-depth and texture, making your hair appear thicker than it actually is! This long, beautifully- layered pixie with textured tips is perfect as a chic everyday hairstyles option or with a floral decoration, for a special occasion.
Short pixie haircut for women over 50: Everyday hairstyles for short fine hair are very easy to maintain, like this pixie with a softly swept-over top. Short hairstyles can be every bit as cute and feminine as long hair and are often a lot more face-flattering, when expertly tailored to your individual face-shape! This example of easy daily hairstyles is also one of the best possible pixie haircuts for a round face. Showing the forehead and adding height on top makes a dramatic difference on a round face. Flat sides also slim down a wide face and the little lock of hair pulled down over one corner of the brow, softens the line beautifully!
If you love the healthy natural look of your hair and aren't keen to undertake the cost and time required to maintain blonde highlights, try this quirky idea! A few strands of hair have been bleached and then tinted a pale aqua shade to give a genuinely fresh look! The look is no-nonsense French chic, with short-clipped, blunt side-burns and a shaved, straight-across outline above the nape.
And my best advice to get more volume and texture into your hairstyles for fine/thin hair is this: switch to short, layered pixie haircuts, use Schwarzkopf's Got2Be volumizing powder, or spray-in dry shampoo. Consider going lighter with blonde streaks, or if you're a brunette add coppery highlights! And you'll love wearing these cute pixie cuts for fine hair as compliment-gathering daily hairstyles!

Les Rencontres de Lure : a week-long series of presentations held annually at the end of August in the beautiful Provence village of Lurs. During the Lurs week around thirty men and women (professionals, teachers, students…) present their work and/or their research.
Each year contributors are invited to follow a theme chosen by the association's committee and membership. These themes are intended to be thought-provoking and relevant to contemporary developments in the world of typography and beyond. As the week unfolds, various aspects of the year's theme are examined and discussed.
Each autumn, the Rencontres Committee starts the process of establishing next year's theme. Dealing with contemporary issues of course invariably leads to a pluridisciplinary approach.
Here is a more extensive list of previous summer weeks in Lurs : here.


An international statistical report has put the Kingdom of Bahrain in the first rank on the level of the Middle East in terms of the number of prisoners per capita.
The institute added that "27.5% of the prisoners are pre-trial detainees, i.e. their trials procedures have not finished yet." "4.7% of the prisoners are females and 2.3% are minors," it further stated.
Israel, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Kuwait, Syria, Yemen, Qatar and Oman follow Bahrain in terms of number of prisoners.
The Institute for Criminal Policy Research has put Bahrain in its latest report issued in September 2014 in the eighth rank on the Arab level in terms of prisoners, as the female prisoners amounted to 189.
The figures presented by the institute reflect the consequences of the political crisis that has erupted in the country since 2011, as the numbers significantly increased with the end of 2013 with 4028 prisoners. This number is three times more than the number before the 2010 incidents, as the number of prisoners was 1100.

Scholarships break down barriers for students in manufacturing
A partnership will make it easier to learn manufacturing at NWTC
By Emily Roberts
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Fifty Northeast Wisconsin students got a surprise when they found out they would be able to attend Northeast Wisconsin Technical College debt-free.
It's part of a growing effort in the state to address manufacturing labor shortages.
"The goal is to make it simple to get an education if you want it. The thing we're simplifying is the cost," Xometry co-founder Laurence Zuriff said.
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College teamed up with the Greater Green Bay Chamber and global technology company Xometry to get students enrolled in manufacturing programs—no matter what their financial situation looks like.
"We are focused on helping students succeed no matter where they are in their life journey or wherever they are, whatever financial circumstances they might have," Meredith Jaeger, NWTC Vice President for College Advancement, said.
Through the partnership, around $250,000 in scholarships, plus financial aid, will help people in our area break into the field through education and training.
"That relieved so much tension in me that they were going to give me a grant," scholarship recipient Salvador Galaviz said. "I felt so grateful for it because I was not expecting it at all."
The National Association of Manufacturing says there are 13 million employed manufacturers in the United States.
At least four million more positions will need to be filled by 2030.
"A program like this comes in a critical area, helps to bring together common missions for our organizations, and will allow us to make a dent in the talent crisis," Green Bay Chamber Vice President of Talent and Education Eric Vanden Heuvel said.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports Wisconsin has the second-highest manufacturing employment concentration in the country, leaving students hopeful for opportunities to come.
"Industrial maintenance is going to be everywhere no matter where you are," Galaviz said. "Even if I move to another city, if I move to Green Bay, to Oshkosh, to Milwaukee, there is going to be a factory that is going to need industrial maintenance."
Select students accepting into programs ranging from data analytics to electro-mechanical technology are eligible for the scholarships.

I am always connected to the Internet whether on my iPhone or my Macbook. Sometimes, I probably check my email too often. I get a lot of emails so I have to make sure I don't miss important emails while filtering out spam and unwanted emails.
I am a fan of the Mail application on Macs. It works well to fit my needs but when I first started using it, I had to learn how to set it up the way I wanted. It's set up the way I prefer now but it took a little of research. If you haven't used the Mail application yet, you should give it a try.
If you have multiple email accounts, the Mail application makes it easy to consolidate all your mail. You can look at a specific mailbox or you see all your mail at once. This is a very helpful feature since most people have multiple email accounts by now. Maybe you have Hotmail, Yahoo, iCloud, and Google email accounts. Rather than logging into each one each day, you just view them all through the Mail application.
This tutorial is good to help you do some advanced functions in the Mail application on your Mac. Once you get it set up the way you want, it just works.

Beckie is a passionate advocate and champion of the Portage model. She is eager to share what she has learnt with everyone she meets and is very proud of how her son, Oscar is responding to the Portage small steps approach. Beckie, Oscar and family have received Portage in both Liverpool and Stockton on Tees and all attended the NPA Conference in 2015.
In 2014 Beckie and her son Oscar were involved in a project to develop 'Portage in Liverpool'. Families were offered a 6 week Portage Parent Training programme, followed with access to Portage Plus; a parent support group to meet and review progress, set new targets and share successes with other parents.
'Me and Oscar have gained so much from Portage Parent Training and Portage Plus. Before attending my little boy would not give any eye contact and was struggling to communicate in any way. These issues were causing further problems for our home life, as Oscar would get very frustrated; screaming, kicking and head-butting hard surfaces. Sometimes this would last hours just down to frustration and was very upsetting.
Through attending Portage sessions, I have learned a lot of techniques to play and communicate with Oscar. He has come on leaps and bounds; much more than I could have imagined a matter of months ago. He now willingly gives eye contact and knows ways to non-verbally communicate almost all of his needs. He will now willingly take part in playing with me and his Dad, whereas before Portage that was a 'no go'.
This has changed our lives in so many ways; his meltdowns have vanished, as he is no longer constantly frustrated.
Portage has taught me so much and has given me the knowledge and confidence to work and play with my little boy. I love Portage and the results are truly amazing!
Portage has given me and Oscar so much and I am looking forward to being able to take part in Portage up in Stockton on Tees. I still have all my Portage paperwork and worksheets and continue to complete them at home along with activities I try with Oscar.
Portage has taught me the best ways to teach and play with my son. There is no failing, just more trying until we achieve. I felt there was no hope before becoming a part of the Portage in Liverpool project - it has changed our lives for the better so much and helped my son to no end; for that I am eternally grateful'.
On moving to Stockton on Tees, Beckie, Oscar and family received Portage from their new local service; this included weekly home visits from Portage Visitor, Julia Huggins.
'Julia was absolutely fantastic with Oscar. Julia really connected with him and he really started to engage with Julia. At first Oscar was quite reluctant to interact with Julia, so she gently encouraged Oscar and watched him. It was amazing to see how she observed him and knew what she could use to get Oscar to engage in play with her and surely enough in a matter of weeks Oscar was excited for Julia's weekly visits.
Very quickly Oscar started to acknowledge Julia off his own back and look through her bag of toys and initiate play. Julia introduced Oscar and us to the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) and quickly got the Speech and Language Therapist on board. It was great to have Julia and the speech therapist do joint home visits.
Julia also helped a lot with Oscar's sensory issues. She introduced different kinds of messy play to Oscar, using his favourite toy balls with shaving foam on. This really helped Oscar as he hated to touch anything with a sloppy or sticky looking texture. Now Oscar goes in head first to all kinds of textures; he will happily put his hand in a bucket to retrieve a ball with shaving foam on and loves play dough games.
As well as Portage home visits, we also attended a Portage open afternoon at the early support nursery where Oscar was due to start the following September. This was a great afternoon with parents, children and Portage staff involved in lots of different sensory activities, including finger painting, climbing and textured stepping stones.
It was quite overwhelming to see Oscar enjoying the group session and for us to have fun with him. These visits really helped Oscar integrate into nursery where he has now been attending 3 days a week for 5 months and is coming on leaps and bounds. Oscar has a fantastic key person and is completely comfortable with all the fantastic staff in his classroom; fortunately he still sees Julia around the nursery as the Portage team are based in the nursery.
In 2015 Beckie and Oscar attended the NPA Annual Conference.
'We were so lucky to have this amazing opportunity. We gained so much from meeting so many brilliant people who had so much brilliant, effective advice and attending some marvelous seminars ranging from home sensory ideas to how to effectively use ipad apps with your children.
My personal favourite seminar was Magdi Kovacs 'Dreaded Drama Triangle'; as it helped in so many ways and made sense of so much that we did not understand prior to the seminar. Magdi delivered the seminar though the story of Little Red Riding Hood; focusing on the problem and anxiety whilst also explaining the antidote of empowerment dynamics, which focuses on the solution with positivity. This approach allows everyone to stand in each others shoes and work out a positive solution to moving forwards.
I was so inspired by Magdi and just had to catch up with her for a chat. She took an hour of her time to talk me through the ins and outs of what was most appropriate to our family situation. She listened, advised and was just such a beautiful inspirational person who I am still in touch with to this day.
I must also mention the extremely moving and heartfelt speech from Hayley Goleniowska from www.downssideup.com; another inspirational woman / mother whose journey was so emotional to hear. The passion in Hayley's face, voice and everything she does was just beyond overwhelming. Not a dry eye in the house!
Whilst we enjoyed all of the seminars, Oscar and my little brother, Oliver got to spend time in the fantastic Portage crèche, playing together and meeting other children with the marvelous staff who were absloutley out of this world with the children. It was amazing to see how they knew exactly what Oscar needed when getting distressed after just half an hour of meeting him!
The conference atmosphere was so warm and welcoming and everybody was so helpful as we also had our newborn son Oakley-J who was just 3 and a half weeks old at the time. He came to all of the seminars!
"Portage has taught me so much and has given me the knowledge and confidence to work and play with my little boy. I love Portage and the results are truly amazing!"

Airstream. My lifestyle is freedom!
Airstream is the oldest and one of the most popular trailer manufacturers in America. Airstream trailers from around the world are recognized as reliable, functional with an individual, unique design, the demand for which has not decreased for eighty years.
The company's history began with the fact that the founding father William (Wally, as his friends called him) Byam made the trailer according to his own drawings in the courtyard of his house and published his design in one of the magazines, and then, after the success of the article, published a brochure "How build a $ 100 trailer. " The profits from the sale of the publication went to establish a full-fledged production of trailers in 1931.
Aircraft designer William Boulus was the second person to complete the Airstream story. He owned a small plywood trailer assembly company, which Airstream absorbed. The first aluminum trailer Airstream with the fuselage of the aircraft and porthole windows, the design of which was painted by William Boulus, became the hallmark of Airstream for many decades to come.
The mass production of aluminum trailers familiar to us began in 1936 with the Clipper model developed by Bolus. Clipper was the embodiment of the auto-traveler's dream: aviation aerodynamic design, swiftness, lightness, comfort. The remaining models were different variations on the Clipper van. The release of Airstream lasted until the Second World War, when aluminum became a strategic metal and all went to the needs of the US Army. After the war, in 1945, the production of trailers was resumed with an emphasis on new customers: young families and former soldiers.
Wally Byam was a promoter of the nomadic way of life and in 1951 headed for South America, for which he created the international Airstream fan club. Wally Byam Caravan Club - a community of enthusiastic travelers who have traveled all over the world on Airstream trailers! So, in 1959, a rally was held across Africa, from Cape Town to Cairo. We arrived to Moscow. In these trips, Wally often took part himself. This club still exists, with 21,000 crews. Members of this club are constantly exploring new routes for traveling with a trailer cottage, and then publish them for autotravelers. It was the club members who brought worldwide fame to the Airstream brand and made traveling in a trailer an integral feature of the American way of life!
In the early 70s, the US government became interested in Airstream trailers. Airstream began to be used for secondment of top government officials, and Airstream trailers were actively used in space programs.
The astronauts of the famous Apollo II lunar project after their return were acclimatized in the Airstream trailer, converted for medical purposes. NASA continues to transport astronauts to the launch site of the launch site in Airstream trailers. All military cargo planes are also equipped with a platform for the transport of the Airstream.
The first autohouse from Airstream appeared in 1979. The layout remains the same as that of the car trailers: toilet and shower with a huddle in the back of the motorhome, a bedroom in the center, a kitchen and closets in front of the motorhome. From the innovations it is worth noting that there was a refrigerator and oven, radio and air conditioning.
Time passed and the design gradually changed from aviation to smoother, rounded shapes. Inside there was a solid, built-in furniture, air conditioning and a single control unit for all systems.
Airstream does not stop at improving its product today. The latest model was the conceptual model Land Yaht, showing the departure from aircraft design to the ship. Naturally such a trailer heaped up with all modern gadgets, as well as fasteners for bicycles and kayaks.
Today, Airstream trailers around the world are considered premium mobile homes. They emphasize the consistency of the owner, independence and even stardom (airstream trailers are rarely used as mobile dressing rooms for the most expensive stars). The merit of the founders and manufacturers of Airstream trailers is that they gave the world a new form of worldview, where the main lifestyle is freedom, which thousands of people around the world have already chosen!

View infographic: Layers and Protocols: Possible Attacks on Internet of Everything
The Internet is an arrangement of connected, yet autonomous networks and devices. Each device, or host, uses protocols or set of rules in order to communicate with other devices within a network. Simply put, the Internet is used to send and receive information quickly between devices and people all around the world. While the Internet of Everything—or the concept that interconnects people, data, things and processes—is projected to play a rather large part in the future of technology, it still lacks development in terms of utility and security.
In 2012, the number of connected devices surpassed the human population. While some tech experts believe that the IoE still has to prove itself and that much credence is needed to baptize the concept into the present landscape, the number of smart devices is still projected to reach 50 billion by 2020. Additionally, as much as our enthusiasm bemuses industry players, we need to be aware that cybercriminals are also preparing to cast their nets toward relevant IoE vulnerabilities. But where do you stand in the web of all things?
Let's say when you hit your favorite café; first thing's first: you pull out your trusty device, whether it's a laptop, tablet or phone, you enable your Internet connection and then go online. Once you're connected, you're entitled to a world of information where everything is virtually possible, and potentially dangerous. But it isn't all just plug-and-play; communication between devices and networks involves a complex system of layers, protocols, and data. Since the language we use is vastly different from the language a computer uses, the messages need to be translated from alphabetic signals to a code that goes through several series of connections such as cloud layers, session, router, and link layers. If unsecured, these layers could be attacked and used as infection vectors by cybercriminals.
For example, a typical exchange between you and the cashier in the café would compose of you ordering a drink while the cashier ticks the specifics: tall double-shot macchiato, skimmed milk and no whipped cream. The cashier then passes your order to the barista but upon receiving your drink, you notice a huge dollop of whipped cream on your coffee. What went wrong? In order to execute a successful transaction, the communication between you, the cashier and the barista should begin and end with the right information. In this example, somewhere in the middle of the order, someone obviously made a mistake, botching the order altogether. The same goes with the Internet. To send and retrieve data, it must to go through certain network protocols, and for the message to rightfully end up on the Internet and for it to route back to your intended recipient, the data must be transmitted within the communication protocols.
Securing an entire IT infrastructure is hard enough but the IoE demands an even bigger security approach to keep endpoints and networks protected against more sophisticated cybercrime techniques and tools such as sniffer attacks, denial of service attacks, compromised-key attacks, password-based attacks, and man-in-the-middle attacks.
The adoption of the IoE is set to go upward and as we get more familiar with the smartification of devices, it's time to increase our awareness and prepare to protect our privacy and security. View our infographic on IoE layers and protocols, and how they can be compromised.

Toronto rapper Shah takes his teachings from the likes of Tupac, Gandhi, and Malcolm X. His passion for making music that touches listeners lives far outweighs his desire for material wealth, something that no longer inspired him after achievements in fields ranging from professional sports to fine art. Today, Shah is backed by an international team enabling him to focus exclusively on rap. Shah's lyrics, dripping with multiple-entendres, offer an array of interpretations and experiences, from unapologetic party music to bars calling out police brutality and the gender wage gap. Shah also raps about overcoming his own adversity and childhood hardships, which provided him with empathy for the underdog. While Shah accepts his status as a public figure for the underrepresented communities to which he belongs, he reminds listeners that his music is intended to be a source of enjoyment, not a guide for political revolution.
Artistically, Shah views rap as the cornerstone of his larger body of artwork. Each single from his forthcoming official debut record will be accompanied by a video in his cinematic music video series involving some of the most prominent young producers, filmmakers, and fine artists from Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles. With collaborators from this groundbreaking project dubbing Day of Shah a cultural phenomenon in the making, Shah's time has arrived.

Let's take a look together in this list of the best Android DJ apps.
Cross DJ Free - DJ mixer app

Cross DJ claims to be the very first DJ application on smartphones. It has many functions. Including BPM detection, track synchronization, and a rhythm editing grid. The application also includes five tempo levels (4, 8, 16, 32, 100%). There is a range of additional features that you can get through in-app purchases.

Doug Gansler, Heather Mizeur and Anthony Brown in their May 7 TV debate.
Democrat Del. Heather Mizeur caused quite a stir among supporters of Anthony Brown Wednesday when she wrote an op-ed for the Baltimore Sun urging the 104,000 Democrats who voted for her for governor not to write in her name on the general election ballot, but to support Anthony Brown. What upset Brown supporters was not that message, but the lengthy criticism she heaped on Brown and his campaign.
Here's another point of view of the Mizeur article by a Hogan supporter and frequent commentator Rick Vatz. We welcome comments, pro or con, at the bottom of the article as long as they are civil.
The term "useful idiot" means an easily manipulated individual whom a cynical politician uses to promote his or her political ends while opposing the interests of that individual.
By that definition, Del. Heather Mizeur is indeed Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown's "useful idiot." She claims to be the major force in combating "negative campaigning" but has opposed legitimate articulation of policy differences and protected Anthony Brown's use of it.
In playing that role in the Democratic gubernatorial primary campaign, Mizeur was used by Brown to discredit any and all of Doug Gansler's criticisms, which were quite acceptable contrasting arguments questioning Brown's suborning spending and high taxation throughout the Martin O'Malley Administration.
Her tut-tutting led to Brown's victory over her and Gansler by his winning more than their (Mizeur and Gansler's) combined votes.
Citing a nascent movement to protest a vote for Brown or Hogan by writing in her name, Mizeur wrote an op-ed in The Baltimore Sun, saying that the Maryland gubernatorial "campaign cycle has been an epic disaster…one of the nastiest in the nation." She further recounts how her persistent appeals to Brown for an issues campaign were rejected after she met with him. After she went away thinking they were in agreement, she "received word" that Brown "was taking a different approach" by waging a personal campaign against Larry Hogan.
Mizeur then describes how she begged the Brown campaign to reconsider. They "ignored" [her word] her plea.
So, what does her op-ed say she will do? Why, vote for Brown, of course, and she urges readers not to write in her name as a protest.
Thus, despite being Brown's "useful idiot," as the term is traditionally employed, Mizeur "still embrace[s] the man that is Anthony Brown," will vote for him and urges voters to do the same.
People wonder why politicians engage in campaigns full of false, irrelevant and tasteless charges (the "FIT" test) when polls indicate that the public rejects such tactics. Why would Brown call Hogan "dangerous" and "radical," and why would the Maryland Democratic Party charge Republicans with racism?
It is simply because they work. The public opposes such tactics conceptually, but is significantly influenced by them. Moreover, perpetrators of such campaigns can count on their "useful idiots" to continue supporting candidates who run such dishonest campaigns.
That doesn't mean the electorate has to. The outcome of the gubernatorial race will reveal the public's electoral reaction to untrue, irrelevant and ugly campaigns.
