Louisiana Mardi Gras Indians Tradition & History
By HCN TODAY/Hill Country Network on March 3, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )
So I'm sitting here on the last weekend of Mardi Gras, feeling a little homesick. Due to some scheduling, I was not able to return home for the celebration. So I decided to share this information that I found on the history and tradition of the Mardi Gras Indians. If you ever get a chance this is a must see to complete your Mardi Gras. Being born and raised in Louisiana during this time and still today there is one song that brings it all together from the parades and the Mardi Gras Indians. Iko, Iko – TheDixie Cups
Kendall Cook- HCN/HCNToday
Iko, Iko is a Mardi Gras song in which Indian tribes, dressed in extraordinary costumes, chant this song during a mock battle between the tribes. The lyrics that aren't in the native language have been translated in many ways thus leaving room for different interpretations. –Adamfulgence
"Mardi Gras Indians are secretive because only certain people participated in masking–people with questionable character. In the old day, the Indians were violent. Indians would meet on Mardi Gras; it was a day to settle scores." – Larry Bannock, Past President, New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian Council
Mardi Gras is full of secrets, and the Mardi Gras Indians are as much a part of that secrecy as any other carnival organization. Their parade dates, times and routes are never published in advance, although they do tend to gather in the same areas every year.
The Mardi Gras Indians are comprised, in large part, of the African-American communities of New Orleans's inner city. While these Indians have paraded for well over a century, their parade is perhaps the least recognized Mardi Gras tradition.
"Mardi Gras Indians–the parade most white people don't see. The ceremonial procession is loose, the parade is not scheduled for a particular time or route…that is up to the Big Chief." – Larry Bannock
Traditional Mardi Gras organizations form a "krewe." A krewe often names their parade after a particular Roman or Greek mythological hero or god. The ranking structure of a Mardi Gras Krewe is a parody of royalty: King, Queen, Dukes, Knights and Captains, or some variation of that theme. Many of the more established krewes allow membership by invitation only.

Few in the ghetto felt they could ever participate in the typical New Orleans parade. Historically, slavery and racism were at the root of this cultural separation. The black neighborhoods in New Orleans gradually developed their own style of celebrating Mardi Gras. Their krewes are named for imaginary Indian tribes according to the streets of their ward or gang.
The Mardi Gras Indians named themselves after native Indians to pay them respect for their assistance in escaping the tyranny of slavery. It was often local Indians who accepted slaves into their society when they made a break for freedom. They have never forgotten this support.
Long ago, Mardi Gras was a violent day for many Mardi Gras Indians. It was a day often used to settle scores. The police were often unable to intervene due to the general confusion surrounding Mardi Gras events in the city when the streets were crowded and everyone was masked. This kept many families away from the "parade," and created much worry and concern for mothers whose children wanted to join the Indians.
"'I'm gonna mask that morning if it costs me my life!' That morning you pray and ask God to watch over you, cause everybody is bucking for number one." – Larry Bannock
Today when two Mardi Gras Indian tribes pass one another, you will see a living theater of art and culture. Each tribe's style and the dress is on display in a friendly but competitive manner. They compare one another's art and craftsmanship.
The Big Chiefs of two different tribes start with a song/chant, ceremonial dance, and threatening challenge to "Humba". The Big Chief's demand that the other Chief bows and pays respect. The retort is a whoop and equally impressive song and war dance with the reply, "Me no Humba, YOU Humba!"
"You know when you've won, you see it in their eyes." – Larry Bannock
Although there was a history of violence, many now choose to keep this celebration friendly. Each Big Chief will eventually stand back and, with a theatrical display of self-confidence, acknowledge the artistry and craftsmanship of the other chief's suit.
Before the progression can continue, the two Big Chiefs will often comment privately to one another, "Looking good, baby, looking good!"
"After Mardi Gras, you thank GOD that you made it." – Larry Bannock
The good news is Mardi Gras day is no longer a day to "settle scores" among the Mardi Gras Indians. Now that the tradition and practice for the Indians to compare their tribal song, dance and dress with other tribes as they meet that day, violence is a thing of the past. The Mardi Gras Indian has invested thousands of hours and dollars in the creation of his suit, and will not run the risk of ruining it in a fight. This tradition, rich with folk art and history, is now appreciated by museums and historical societies around the world. It is a remarkable and welcome change from the past.
Mardi Gras Indian Mask

The History behind the masking of the Mardi Gras Indians is an extremely rich one. "If I had a heart attack at 92, I'd still mask. In New Orleans, you don't need a reason to do what you do, you do it because that's the way it is!"
– Larry Bannock, President, New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian Council
When we first talked to Larry Bannock about the traditions of the Mardi Gras Indians, we didn't realize how fascinating it would be. We would like to thank Larry for opening up his world and his home to us as he shares this long-held but little-known Mardi Gras and St. Joseph Day tradition with us. Most importantly, we have learned a lot about character.
Mardi Gras Indian Masking means designing /creating a new costume each year. Larry Bannock wears a hand-beaded and feathered suit of the original that weighs between 100 and 150 pounds. He wears this suit as he marches throughout the city on Mardi Gras Day, meeting the other chiefs along the way (see history). At times, he removes the heavier part of the suit, replacing it as he approaches another Indian Chief.
"Downtown Indians use sequins, feathers; Uptown Indians use beads, rhinestones, feathers. The only time Downtown and Uptown Indians come together is to parade on St. Joseph's day." – Larry Bannock
There are distinct design differences between the costumes of the Downtown Indians and the Uptown Indians. When these tribes meet, each Indian is so proud of the costume he has created…and a silent comparison of their beauty takes place. To honor the Italians, the Indians again suit up and meet on the evening of St. Joseph's day in and around their neighborhoods. However, all of the Mardi Gras Indians come together to celebrate what they call "Super Sunday" with a parade. It is a beautiful sight and occurs during the day on a Sunday near St. Joseph's Day.
"Making an Indian suit comes from your heart; the Indian suit for next year is in my mind. You have to feel something about the patch. It has to mean something to you–the eagle, the buffalo–every patch I do is a spirit. You have to be on fire." – Larry Bannock
Making a new suit is time-consuming and must be planned carefully. An Indian's costume may take up to a year to complete, starting with the conception of an idea for next year's suit. Ordering material, designing layout, sewing and beadwork follow. Larry, an uptown Indian Chief and President of the Mardi Gras Indian Council, had the design picked out for his '97 suit before Mardi Gras of '96.
After an artist friend draws the image upon the canvas, Larry decides upon the colored beads he will use to create a patch for his costume. The beadwork is done entirely by hand…and he does all of it himself. This bead art and the plumage selected each year make a glorious combination of color and texture that render his costumes such extraordinary works of art that some are now on display in museums throughout the country.
"Masking as a Mardi Gras Indian…it's dying, because it costs…over $1,000 for rhinestones, $320.00 for velvet, hundreds for beads, hundreds more for the feathers…it costs, yeah. People with families to support find it difficult." – Larry Bannock
One of the reasons there is so much interest in the Mardi Gras Indians is because it seems to be a dying tradition. When the costumes were made from whatever material could be found, there were many Indians. However, the designs of the costumes have become so elaborate that it is very difficult for many to afford the expense. Larry is able to afford to make his costume due to the generosity of some of his friends who contribute their skills and hard work. He is also asked to speak to others around the country about the rich history of the Mardi Gras Indian, and whatever he makes helps finance his next year's costume. However, it is often a struggle.
OLD TIME INDIAN -The Chitimacha Connection DESTINATION: New Orleans, Louisiana (Dockplayer.net)
"Rex has designers; its King has no say on his costume. My suit is ME! I do the patchwork and rhinestones. I have people helping me hook up now, but there are only two patches I didn't do: a rattlesnake and a hatchet– given to me by two older Indians. I'll always wear those patches." – Larry Bannock
Typical of Mardi Gras tradition, rarely will anyone outside of the immediate family and close friends have an opportunity to witness a suit's creation before Mardi Gras. National Geographic and 48 Hours, however, were lucky enough to go behind the scenes while doing a special on this tradition. The television crews even pitched in during the last hectic days before Mardi Gras.
It is all worthwhile for Larry when he steps out of his home, on Mardi Gras morning, into his waiting neighborhood in all of his glory.
His Mardi Gras Indian costume often surpasses the quality, intricacy, and artistry seen in the costumes of many Mardi Gras Kings and Queens. Seeing the Indians in their suits marching, singing and dancing are to watch art come alive.
Ranks: Spy Boy, Flag Boy, Big Chiefs
Spy Boy of the Creole Wild West. Below: Spy Boy of Wild Tchoupitoulas Kenny Klein Explains It All
"The Spy Boy is first in the front: he is the baddest of all the Indians… he is ahead looking for trouble. Only a chosen few can be Spy Boy. It's his job to send a signal to First Flag when he sees other Indians. First Flag signals back down the line to Big Chief. Big Chief has a stick that controls the Indians. When he hits the ground with the stick, they better get down and bow to the Chief." – Larry Bannock
On Mardi Gras Day, if you're lucky enough to see some of the Mardi Gras Indians, the first Indian you're likely to see is the Spy Boy. His job places him ahead of the Big Chief's procession. Each Spy Boy has a method to signal potential trouble or approaching rival Indian tribes… with dancing, whooping, hollering, and hand language. His observations are communicated to the Big Chief who, in return, sends a set of directions and instructions back down the parade procession.
"I 'took' my position as a Spy Boy. Nobody gave it to me. I took it when someone else didn't do their job. Your heart and soul has to be there." – Larry Bannock
It is through this elaborate system of dances, whoops, flags and hand signals that the Big Chief is able to direct a progression multiple streets long… even though he is far away from the front of the parade. This communication network is important, as it allows the Big Chief time to adjust his suit, don his headdress, and prepare a song for an impending meeting with a rival tribe. Marching the streets on Mardi Gras Day on the way to meet other Indian tribes is a tribe's opportunity to have an entire year's worth of artistic effort appraised by an opponent artist.

"The route on Mardi Gras is always secret. Nobody knows where anybody's gonna be… that's why Spy Boy is ahead and looking for Indians. If he sights a gang, he tells Flag Boy that a gang is on its way." – Larry Bannock
The Flag Boy is the next ranking Indian. It is he who carries the "gang flag" – a huge staff decorated with feathers (seen on left) and the gang symbol. Generally, FlagBoys are a block or two behind Spy Boys, and at least a block ahead of the Big Chief. Their responsibility is to pass along Spy Boy's information to the Big Chief and return the Big Chief's response back to the Spy Boy. By raising his gang flag high in the air and using prearranged signals, the Flag Boy is able to keep the Big Chief and Spy Boy in direct communication. This allows the Big Chief control over the direction of the route his tribe will take. As mentioned, the progression can be many streets long. "Second Liners" are always present between the ranking Indians. They are usually not costumed but provide much entertainment as they follow along dancing, singing, beating drums and playing tambourines.

Mardi Gras Traditions: 9th Ward Seminole Hunters on Super Sunday 2008
Aside from Mardi Gras Day, the most significant day for the Mardi Gras Indians is their Super Sunday which will take place on Sunday, March 17, 2019. The New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian Council always has their Indian Sunday on the third Sunday of March, around St. Joseph's Day. Their festivities begin at noon in A.L. Davis Park (at Washington & LaSalle Streets) where the Mardi Gras Indians once again dress in their feathers and suits and take to the streets to meet other "gangs".
Also, the Tamborine and Fan organization traditionally put on their annual "Super Sunday" parade on the Sunday closest to St. Joseph's Day, with their event beginning at Bayou St. John. In recent years, there has been yet a third Super Sunday called Big Sunday, which falls in April during the open weekend between French Quarter Festival and Jazz Fest.
Nobody is completely certain when the tradition of Mardi Gras Indians "masking" on St. Joseph's night began. However, there have been reports of Indians on St. Joseph's night dating back to before World War I. The custom seems to have come about simply because it was a good opportunity. With all of the Catholic Italians celebrating this holiday in the streets, the Indians were able to blend in and celebrate as well.
Before 1969, the Indians celebrated by coming out at night to meet and greet other "gangs". In 1969, the first parade was created and rolled through town at night. In 1970, it was switched to a day parade on Sunday afternoon and has continued in that tradition to this day

The article deals with paediatric pathology, which is quite different than adult pathology. Many diseases that afflict children are uncommon or unheard of in adults.
This gene is also implicated in multiple granular cell tumours.
May be associated with cardiomyopathy: DCM, RCM.
Loss of a gene on 15q.
May be due to genetic imprinting disorder, i.e. only maternal gene imprinting pattern is present (due to loss of the paternal chromosome).
Loss of the maternal imprinting pattern on 15q leads to Prader-Willi syndrome.
GI is a big part pediatric pathology and therefore gets its own article.
Should not be confused with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Previously known as hyaline membrane disease.
Not enough lung surfactant -> alveolar collapse with exhalation -> increased work of breathing.
Proteineous (cellular) debris (hyaline membranes) line alveoli and respiratory bronchioles.
Similar to diffuse alveolar damage.
Related to patent ductus arteriosus and persistent fetal circulation.
Two-tone liver - suggests prior injury.
HIE in perinatal period may be unique to the specific time of the injury, i.e. the type of hypoxic insults vary by developmental stage.
Some hypoxic injuries that are prenatal do not occur after birth.
Pontosubicular necrosis is prenatal; the subiculum postnatal (like in adults) is resistant to hypoxic-ischemic insults.
HIE is the most common cause of neonatal seizures and often difficult to control with anticonvulsants.
Germinal matrix & intraventricular hemorrhage.
Infarcts of the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, thalamus, brain stem.
Arises from the germinal matrix, the tissue from which neurons and glial arise from.
Location: periventricular; may cause an intraventricular hemorrhage.
The germinal matrix is thought to be intrinsically fragile and is especially so in premature infants.
Grade 1 = confined to germinal matrix.
Grade 2 = ventricular hemorrhage.
Grade 3 = distortion of ventricle.
Grade 4 = disruption of white matter.
Multifocal necrosis of the cortical white matter adjacent to the lateral ventricles.
Many pediatric tumours have a "primative" histologic appearance and can be grouped into the category small round cell tumour, which is covered in the article having that name and gives an overview of that grouping.
Most common abdominal solid organ malignancy in children. A good starting point if you're considering this entity is the small round cell tumours article.
This covers RMS. A good starting point if you're considering this entity is the small round cell tumours article.
A good starting point if you're considering this entity is the small round cell tumours article.
In reference to malignancies, these are very common in children.
The histomorphology can look very malignant when viewed through the context of adult soft tissue pathology.

Now you can write a small book in a few days!
Granted there is post-recording editing but at least you got the word to, err, paper.

NYC Billionaire Suggests Black NY Senator Is Worse Than KKK
Daniel Loeb issued a statement saying he regrets the language he used in the Facebook post about Senate Minority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, a Yonkers Democrat
By David Klepper	• Published August 11, 2017 • Updated on August 11, 2017 at 11:22 pm
A billionaire hedge fund manager has apologized for an online post saying that a black New York state senator has "done more damage to people of color than anyone who has ever donned a hood" because of her support for teachers unions.
Daniel Loeb issued a statement saying he regrets the language he used in the Facebook post about Senate Minority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, a Yonkers Democrat. The post was an apparent reference to the white headgear of the Ku Klux Klan. It was deleted late Thursday.
Loeb, the CEO of the investment firm Third Point, is a top donor to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and many other politicians. He is a leading supporter of charter schools.
"I regret the language I used in expressing my passion for educational choice," he said in his statement about the post, emailed to The Associated Press on Friday morning. "I apologize to Sen. Stewart-Cousins and anyone I offended."
Cuomo and other Democrats had denounced Loeb's comments.
"We have no connection with these comments whatsoever and in our opinion they are entirely inappropriate and have no place in the public discourse," said Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi.
Mike Murphy, a spokesman for Stewart-Cousins, said there was "no place in our discourse, political or otherwise, for these dangerous words.
"Daniel Loeb should be utterly ashamed of his disgusting statements. This whole episode speaks volumes about the state of our politics right here in New York," Murphy said.
Loeb's Facebook post was in response to a story in The New York Times earlier this week on the ongoing tension between Cuomo, mainline Democrats and a Democratic Senate faction led by Sen. Jeff Klein of the Bronx who broke ranks with the party to empower Republicans, who now control the Senate. The story detailed an exchange between Stewart-Cousins and Cuomo in which Cuomo suggested that Klein had a better grasp of suburban issues than mainline Senate Democrats.
"You look at me, Mr. Governor, but you don't see me," Stewart-Cousins told Cuomo in response, according to the article. "You see my black skin and a woman, but you don't realize that I am a suburban legislator. Jeff Klein doesn't represent the suburbs. I do."
While Loeb deleted his remarks, The Times reported the text and the AP obtained a screen shot of the post.
"Thank God for Jeff Klein and those who stand for educational choice and support Charter (sic) funding that leads to economic mobility and opportunity for poor knack kids," the post read. "Meanwhile hypocrites like Stewart-Cousins who pay fealty to powerful union thugs and bosses do more damage to people of color than anyone who has ever donned a hood."
Klein, another recipient of Loeb contributions, also distanced himself from the remarks.
"The statements are wrong and have to be repudiated. I dissociate myself from such statements," he said in a statement.

Is 'The Suicide Squad' Star John Cena Teasing Valiant Comics Role?
by Sebastian Peris on April 8, 2020
The Suicide Squad star John Cena shared a new photo on social media potentially hinting at a future Valiant Comics role.
John Cena is set to step into the world of comic book films with James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, in which the wrestler-turned-actor will play a currently undisclosed role. However, John Cena recently shared a photo suggesting a potential role in Sony's Valiant Comics Cinematic Universe.
On his official Instagram account, John Cena shared a photo of Valiant Comics' hero X-O Manowar, the alter-ego of a warrior named Aric from fifth-century Europe. In Valiant Comics lore, X-O Manowar is abducted by an alien race known as the Vine and later vows to save his people after gaining possession of a sentient X-O Manowar armor that increases his strength. Unfortunately, John Cena did not include a caption to offer insight into the meaning behind his post, though it certainly has fans wondering if he at least being considered for the role of X-O Manowar in the Valiant Comics cinematic universe, which launched last month with the release of Vin Diesel's Bloodshot.

Do you think John Cena would be the right choice to play Valiant Comics' X-O Manowar? Let us know in the comments section below.
The first Suicide Squad followed a team of supervillains who were recruited by the government for a dangerous black ops mission in exchange for reduced sentences. The ensemble cast included Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Jared Leto as The Joker. However, James Gunn is expected to deliver on the fresh take on the Suicide Squad in his upcoming movie.
Written and directed by James Gunn, The Suicide Squad stars David Dastmalchian, John Cena, Jai Courtney, Joaquín Cosío, Nathan Fillion, Joel Kinnaman, Mayling Ng, Flula Borg, Sean Gunn, Juan Diego Botto, Storm Reid, Pete Davidson, Taika Waititi, Alice Braga, Steve Agee, Tinashe Kajese, Daniela Melchior, Peter Capaldi, Julio Ruiz, Jennifer Holland, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, Margot Robbie, and Michael Rooker.
The Suicide Squad will be released in theaters on August 6, 2021.

Harambee Starlets got their AWCON campaign underway on a high with a 1-0 win over Uganda in a match played on Wednesday, April 4, 2018, at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.
Starlets started the match on an attacking note, limiting guests Uganda to only a handful of chances on the ball, but could not find a way past a determined Uganda defense.
Upon resumption, however, Lilian Adera would score the lone goal of the match in the 53rd minute, one the starlets held onto for a crucial first-leg advantage.
Kenya will look to leverage the one goal advantage when they face Uganda in the return match set to be played on Sunday, April 8, 2018, in Uganda.
The aggregate winner of the match is set to face Equatorial Guinea in the second and final qualifying round.

The signing of a treaty between Australia and Timor-Leste in the first conciliation under the United Nations Convention on the Law on the Sea (UNCLOS), represents a positive outcome to a long-running dispute on their maritime boundaries. The treaty will also enable the joint use of natural resources in the Timor Sea, which will bring economic benefits and contribute to sustainable development, particularly in Timor-Leste.
Signed in New York in the presence of UN Secretary General António Guterres, the treaty demonstrates the effectiveness of the UNCLOS conciliation process and sends a positive signal to other countries with contentious maritime boundary disputes that such disputes should be resolved peacefully and in accordance with international law.

The number of potential buyers visiting car vendors has remained constant, an expert says.
Sales jobs in the motor industry are facing less hardship than many teams in other sectors, a spokesman for the Retail Motor Industry Federation claims.
Efforts to counter the effect of requiring buyers to place a larger deposit are succeeding, he says.
He states vendors in sales jobs are reducing prices and offering better deals, which is offsetting the negative impact of the change.
The representative says: "Footfall is actually remaining constant."
"Most of the businesses [in the industry] haven't seen a great drop - it's actually stayed the same," he adds.
Figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders show the new car market has fallen 18.6 per cent but it claims August is one of the quietest months in the sector.
While he acknowledges this fall in sales, he says sales in other areas of the sector which benefit from people retaining cars for longer have benefited.
Earlier in the month, a spokesperson for the Institute of the Motor Industry claimed there would be an increase in demand for customer service positions such as sales jobs.

Home In Print From the Paper The Greater Jerusalem Law Saga
Keeping Jerusalem
The Greater Jerusalem Law Saga
Hillel Fendel and Chaim Silberstein / KeepJerusalem.org
16 Heshvan 5778 – November 5, 2017
Photo Credit: Jewish Press
Yes, Jerusalem is the Eternal City; yes, its recorded history spans over 3,000 years; and yes, from a Jewish-national standpoint, it transcends time and history.
Nevertheless, it is certainly remarkable, not to say absurd, that it is now nearly eight years that the saga of the Greater Jerusalem Law has been ongoing.
Back on January 12, 2010, a new Knesset lobby group was inaugurated, called the Greater Jerusalem lobby. It was headed by four MKs: two who are now government ministers, one who has since retired from politics, and one from the United Torah Judaism party (for more on the very notable significance of that, see below).
That is to say, ever since January 2010, the topic of expanding Jerusalem in order to strengthen the city demographically and otherwise has been on the table. That month marked the end of the first year of the Obama presidency, and diplomatic "gestures" toward the Palestinian Authority were being demanded of Israel.
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat said at the lobby's founding event, "Any gesture toward the PA must be accompanied by something that will strengthen Jerusalem."
Then-MK Uri Ariel, now the minister of housing, said at the time, "Our goal is to increase the population of Jerusalem to over a million, with a solid Jewish majority."
The backdrop was the shrinking Jewish majority in the capital, which had stood some years earlier at 70 percent but was dropping sharply to about 65 percent. Though there is some evidence that the trend is slowing, it has continued to drop dangerously since then.
Four months later, for the first time, legislation on this matter was proposed, by the Likud's Tzipi Hotovely. The bill sought to expand the capital to include Gush Etzion, Beitar Illit, Maaleh Adumim, Givat Ze'ev, and Mevaseret Zion.
The objective, as the proposal explained, was to bolster the weakening status of Israel's capital city and to "restore Jerusalem as the symbol and heart of the Jewish nation."
And the Greater Jerusalem Law certainly packs a punch to that end. If passed, it will fortify the Holy City in the wake of the dangerous plans being floated for the city's division – including one being promoted by former minister Chaim Ramon under the misleading name "The Movement to Save Jewish Jerusalem."
If such a plan were ever to be implemented, it would expose the city to grave security and demographic threats, Jerusalem's status as Israel's capital city would be undermined and destabilized, and its delicate urban fabric would be dealt a possible death blow.
Instead, the Greater Jerusalem initiatives seek to preserve united Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, for the benefit of all its citizens, both Jews and Arabs, predicated upon the rights of the Jewish nation to the city.
Back to 2010: The bill went nowhere, but it continued to make headlines every few months. Finally, in May 2014, Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz became associated with the drive to expand Yerushalayim. It was at one of those "dead" periods in the make-believe talks process with the PA, and Katz said, "This is the time to widen Jerusalem's borders, based on municipal models in London and Paris."
That idea also made zero headway – and, in fact, all was quiet on the Greater Jerusalem front until this year. In January, Minister Katz renewed his efforts to promote the bill, and increasing numbers of MKs joined up: Hotovely again, Yehuda Glick, Gilad Erdan, and others.
As the bill gained momentum, the Jewish Home and Likud parties began to quibble over who would receive credit for the bill. Finally, however, it began to look last week as if the bill would actually be approved by the Ministerial Committee for Legislation – meaning that the government coalition would be bound to support it in the Knesset.
And what about the U.S.? One headline last week said that State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert implied the U.S. would not object to the bill. She called it an "internal Israeli matter" and gave no indication that the Trump administration opposed it in any way.
Within days, however, an unnamed "senior State Department official" was quoted as saying "the U.S. does not encourage actions that it believes would distract negatively from the sides' focus on advancing the peace process."
As a result of the American hesitation, the prime minister put the bill on hold once again. MK David Bitan, Likud Knesset faction whip, acknowledged American fears that the bill involved annexing areas from Judea and Samaria. However, he said, Netanyahu "doesn't think this is about annexation, and neither do I. We have to take the time to clarify it to the Americans. So if the bill passes in a week, or in a month, it will be less problematic."
It's worthwhile to review the bill's objectives once again: "To strengthen Jerusalem by adding thousands of Jews, and at the same time to weaken the Arab hold on the capital," in the words of Minister Katz.
We noted above that one of the early supporters of Greater Jerusalem was MK Uri Maklev of the haredi United Torah Judaism (UTJ) party – who now says that his party will oppose the bill.
Why? He and his party colleagues are very open: "Bringing in large population sectors from outside the city is liable to upset the balance of political power in the city." That is, the party fears the haredi public will lose its political clout in future municipal elections if towns with large secular populations such as Givat Ze'ev and Mevaseret Zion are integrated into the city.
Interestingly, city councilman Yitzchak Pindros, also of UTJ, said he welcomes the Greater Jerusalem law, and is confident it will not harm the haredi populace.
At this point we must hope that the saga is finally coming to an end, and that the Greater Jerusalem Law will soon come up for a Knesset vote.

Das wohltemperierte Klavier 1. + 2. Teil
November 17, 2021 November 17, 2021 | Arjan Uittenbroek
https://www.discogs.com/release/3543309-Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Gustav-Leonhardt-Das-Wohltemperierte-Klavier-12-Teil
If there is any moment to discover I know nothing about music theory, it is when I read the booklet of this giant boxed set. That never stopped me in the past, so I'm going to try this anyway.
I will try this in the most limited form that I've found: the piano is out of tune. It has been since around the time of this work. Before that, it was also out of tune, but in a way that supported the compositions that were made until then.
The reason for this is that there is a difference between what feels right, and what is the physical, classical model of music. Every musical theory book starts with the theory that if you have a string of length x, and you hit it, sound of a certain frequency will come out. If you use the same string, apply the same strength for the tension, but you use half the length, you will get double the frequency. Music theory then says that note is one octave higher.
The problem starts when you divide it in different intervals. Then it runs out that if you add these intervals together, they don't make the exact octave. So a third and a fifth do not complete the whole octave. It might be a bit more here and there, a bit less in other places.
This problem is the worst with a piano, but it exists in all instruments. For the piano, It was common to at least make sure the most used intervals were correct. So thirds were exactly right, but most certainly fourths were not: they were not supposed to be used.
As music changed however, demands on this system also changed. As a result, and probably also as a sign of the times, in the eighteenth century a more "equally" distributed system was invented. For some pieces it sounded vastly different.
Interestingly though, Bach never made clear what his "Wohl temperierte Klavier" was using. It is generally assumed however that he was referring to the newly invented system.
Is there anyone out there that can give me a better explanation about this?
Bachs handwriting looks to me like what I used to do at school.
#bach #Leonhardt
I don't know the technical explanation either. But I do remember, that when I was a kid, and still had piano-lessons, I was told that this was a piano-tuner's problem, not a piano-players problem…
Arjan Uittenbroek
Well, I ca imagine this is not a pianoplayer problem either. It might be a slight problem for the people you're playing with.

Rumors have been flying that Apple is intending to roll out its own branded HDTV set sometime in the future, and a new patent from the company suggests the remote control for that TV could be your iPhone.
According to a story from Patently Apple via Mashable, Apple is working on technology that can turn its iOS mobile devices into universal remote controls that can even control devices that are already on the market, and potentially, any TV sets that Apple might roll out sometime in the future.
Universal remotes today require users look up and enter access codes for the devices they want those remotes to control. With the iOS app Apple has proposed, the code look-up and programming portion of the situation would be automated, allowing users to skip the use of code manuals to find the correct brand of their device. Device owners would find their codes by snapping a photo of the device, which gets transmitted to iCloud and used to track down the correct code. Then the app creates a virtual version of the remote on the iPhone or iPad.
The patent just hit the U.S. Patent and Trademark office this week, although Apple filed it back in 2010, Mashable reports. And, as Mashable points out, Apple has tons of patents – it's filing patents all the time, basically. Many of those patents lead to new features for iOS devices, but just as many (if not more) lead to nothing: Apple just hangs on to them, and they might become useful in the future, or maybe not.
Apple already does have something of a remote control app. However, Remote isn't for TVs, DVD players and DVR devices. Instead, it allows iPhone and iPad owners to control iTunes on various devices remotely, as well as Apple TV set-top boxes. Somewhat like the universal remote patent, Remote uses users' local Wi-Fi network to access devices and control them once configured. It's not too robust, but Remote does allow users to switch songs in iTunes, adjust the volume of devices, and perform other similar functions.
We've seen a lot of cool patents come out of Apple, so this one shouldn't be seen as more than a cool "what if" situation, not a sign of something that's definitely coming down the pipe. That said, a universal remote app sounds right up Apple's alley, especially when coupled with the possibility of an Apple branded TV set. But as always, we'll have to wait and see.


Do You want MoreTimeToRide? I did, here is my Story.
7 years ago, when I was working a job full time, I was very frustrated with not nearly enough time to enjoy my horses.
If you want what I did, and that is more time and money for my passion, fill your details and I will share with you exactly how I changed my situation for the better.
This is how I started in 2009 and it has proven to be, from my experiences, one of the best lifestyle decisions I have ever made. What I have learned is this….
Click here to create MoreTimeToRide.
Here is our story so far, and how we created MoreTimeToRide.
Hi I'm Christine ( Chrissy) and I live in Rural Australia.
My husband ( Colin) and I are about to celebrate 35 years of marriage and we have 2 grown children Toby and Ali.
When I was a little girl I did have a couple of ponies but as I grew up I started work, got married at 19, and lived in the city, so no more horses at this stage of my life.
When we did have children, we knew we wanted to raise them in the country so we moved on to a property. Our children had a love of horses and riding, and so began our MoreTimeToRide journey into pony club, and then to breeding and starting all our own young horses under saddle.
As you probably know owning horses can be an expensive past time so I was working full time in retail management, and going to horse shows all weekend.
I had no time for everything, so I decided to quit my full time job and try to make a living from our horses. This didn't work out so well as we were so fussy on who bought our horses, we ended up keeping them all.
So now I had the time for the horses but not enough money to go to competitions or feed them in drought conditions.
I then went looking for alternative ways to earn money from home.
But I didn't want just a little bit of money, I wanted a great income.
The first business venture we tried, was in the Share Market which was very stressful, had too much risk and we lost a great deal of money and assets through that period. Not really knowing what we were doing played a big part.
And Then!!…?? GFC, wrong place at the wrong time.
I went searching and accidentally found an online business in the local paper in the sector of Personal Development that I could work Part Time around my 2 and 4 legged family.
I did my homework and knew straight away, I can make this work.
The ROI (return on investment) was incredible.
I truly love what I do and I'm very grateful for the Lifestyle I have been able to create.
I believe anyone can create the same success as I have with this business, if they have that same burning desire that I had for more time and money for my family and my passion.
We now live where we want, and travel when we want, while earning a Great income because of my decision to be a part of this very portable business.
follow the simple proven system and don't quit.
If you are ready to learn how, you too can start creating your dream life. Click on the Free Information button here or below, and either myself or one of my associates, will reach out to you personally on the phone to provide you with further info.
The first step is a brief chat on the phone, not an email or computer generated tick the box, to see if we have the potential of working together. I will not work with just anybody. I choose to work with positive driven people.
People who want success and abundance.
This business works, and works very well, but like all business's, only if you work it correctly. It does take an initial start up product purchase and ongoing back office fees to allow you to stay in business, exactly the same as any business either traditional or online. Making millions without any financial commitment is a fairytale.
P.S. "The only person who can create change in YOUR life, is You".
Nobody will do it for you, nobody really knows you, or even cares".
So, "if it was meant to be it is up to Me".
I dare you to chase your Passion instead of your Pension.
Now I really do have MoreTimeToRide, and I love my Life.
More on Our Safety Zone.
Knowledge vs Experience, which is the winner?
How I decided to create more time and make a change.
They do sense your energy, good and bad.

The Nittany Lions were coming off of back-to-back losing seasons, finishing 3–9 in 2003 and 4–7 in 2004, capping a stretch from late 1999 where Minnesota upset the #2 Nittany Lions with a late field goal until the goal line stand at Indiana that featured four of five seasons being losing seasons and the lone winning season in 2002 featuring many frustrating close losses. This stretch was called "The Dark Years", sometimes including 2002 as well. The team finished the 2004 season with wins over Indiana and Michigan State, which helped springboard momentum into the 2005 season that gave many optimism for the 2005 Nittany Lions.


When you get older, you tend to want to hold onto the past and resist change, but you should really embrace this change as the whole part of the process of getting older. It's all in the attitude. Look forward to them, and think of them as a new adventure.

TV Reboot? Or Revival? Here Are the Definitive Definitions — Don't @ Me!
By Matt Webb Mitovich / September 16 2018, 4:00 PM PDT
CBS' Hawaii Five-0, TNT's Dallas, Netflix's One Day at a Time and CBS' Murphy Brown
If you follow me on Twitter — and really, why wouldn't you? (unless I blocked you for coarsely cursing that I cover "Olicity" too much/not enough) — you've seen me cast side-eye at news outlets that improperly apply the terms revival and reboot.
So once and for all, let's put the definitive definitions to paper, so that they can be framed and or properly filed away in the Library of Congress as anyone sees fit.
Most simply said, a TV REVIVAL shares a continuity with the original series, and at least some original cast members.
A TV REBOOT may share a title and inherent premise with the original series, but it establishes its own continuity, possibly revolves around new characters and always features a new cast. (Fact is, reboot is largely a dandied-up version of the word remake, which someone at some point must have decided sounded lazy.)
Recent TV revivals include Will & Grace, Roseanne, Arrested Development and the upcoming Murphy Brown, whereas the reboots… well, they are many, from CBS' trifecta of Hawaii Five-0, MacGyver and the upcoming Magnum P.I., to Dynasty, One Day at a Time and Lost in Space.
TNT's Dallas? Revival. Showtime's Twin Peaks: The Return? Netflix's Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life? Revival, revival, revival.
The CW's upcoming Charmed? Amazon's The Tick? The CW's midseason drama Roswell, New Mexico? Reboot, reboot annnnd… reboot.
Fox's recent investigations into The X-Files? Revival, obviously. Syfy/Sci-Fi's Battlestar Galactica? Totally a reboot.
TV Reboots and Revivals: A Complete Guide
There are some grey areas! The CW's 90210 and Melrose Place could rightly be called revivals of the Fox originals (shared continuity! appearances by original cast!), and yet "sequel" or "follow-up" feel a bit more accurate. (Along those lines, the Designing Women series now in development at ABC is being described up front as a "sequel," since it focuses on characters related to the original Sugarbakers, yet might feature appearances by original cast.)
More greyness: Fox's 24: Live Another Day was a revival, but I would argue that 24: Legacy — which thrust a brand-new hero into the world of CTU — leans more toward reboot, even though Tony Almeida and Edgar Stiles were a part of its continuity.
The trickiest nut to crack may be The Conners, ABC's imminent Roseanne-less incarnation of its Roseanne revival, which has typically been called a SPINOFF. But does it also inherit the "revival" mantle from its sire, seeing as it's basically a continuation of same minus a key character? Or does the absence of that key, title character establish The Conners as its own show, and thus make it purely a spinoff?
These are the things we worry about.
Lastly, you may wonder: Who among the broadcast networks dips into the revival/reboot/spinoff well most often?
CBS at this instant has nine programs that fall into any of those three categories, if you grandfather in JAG spinoff NCIS and each of its own offshoots. The CW has five (not counting Supergirl, which technically wasn't spun off of the Arrowverse), NBC counts four and ABC at this instant has two (with another two currently in development). With the 24 and Prison Break franchises in a holding pattern, Fox right now has just Last Man Standing (keeping in mind that Star crossed over to Empire some time after its launch).
Do you dispute any of the above classifications? (It's OK to @ me, actually.) And which shows do you have a tough time putting into one box or the other?

Myrtle Square Mall was the first enclosed shopping mall in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, United States, located in the heart of the city.  It bordered the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, Kings Highway, Oak Street, and it was in very close proximity to residential neighborhoods and many oceanfront hotels.  Its size, for the time, was quite large with a total area around  set on  of land.  The parking lot contained more than 2,800 spaces.

Former Anchors
Belk
Sears
Peebles
Collins Department Store (later Peebles)

Design and construction
Beginning in the early 1970s, Myrtle Beach Farms Company, owner of the mall and many buildings around the Myrtle Beach area, had considered building a mall in the area.  A study taken by Wilbur Smith and Associates that indicated that a shopping center was needed for the Myrtle Beach area.  These results greatly added to the decision to create the Myrtle Square Mall.  The mall was designed by Nelson Benzing Design Associates. Construction of the mall began in December 1973.

Besides being recognized as the first mall in the area, the mall was to be home to the reportedly world's largest clock.  The clock was the mall's focal point and was the subject of many photographs from residents and tourists alike.  The clock was the idea of Ezra Whittner, a member of Nelson Benzing Design Associates, based in Raleigh.  The idea was different due to the beach area's unique expectations for the mall.  Initially, the mall's design was based around a beach theme with waves, sand, and dunes.  Since this was commonplace, a new concept was devised by Whittner with the idea of a large clock.

According to a Sun News article written in April 1975, the mall was "expected to change the shopping habits of local residents and tourists." The article went on to state that the residents of the Strand will not have to travel to Charleston, Columbia, Florence, or Wilmington. Estimates put that the mall would make $20 million in its first year. This money, which would have normally been spent in other locations, would stay in Myrtle Beach.

The new mall in Myrtle Beach was not without criticism, however. There was concern that merchants from Conway, North Myrtle Beach, Georgetown, and downtown Myrtle Beach might suffer from the cut of volume that would go to the new mall.

Early operation
The mall opened to the public on April 16, 1975 with full news coverage from The Sun News.  The mall's leasing manager was the Caine Company, based out of Greenville, South Carolina.  It was hailed as "one of the largest and most modern shopping facilities in the Southeast" for its time with an architectural style that was quite noticeable throughout the mall.  The opening began with 30 diversified retail outlets. Some of the major tenants included Belk, Collins Department Store (later to be Peebles), Eckerd Drugs, and Morrison's Cafeteria.

Initially, many of the stores in the mall were local stores instead of national chains that can be commonly found in many malls.  In addition to those mentioned above, the first stores that opened with the mall included Paperback Booksmith, Playhouse Toys, Record Bar, Coker's, Candlewood, Singer's, Suzanne's, Baskin-Robbins, Bottoms Up, Curious Cargo Gifts, Kinney Shoes, Magic Cavern, Der Dog Haus, Friedman's, Gingham Peddler, Lowery Organs, Lynn's, Hallmark, Hickory Farms, Karmelkorn, La Marick, Leaf 'n Match, Merle Norman, Nelson's Men's Shop, Endicott-Johnson, and Orange Bowl.  Most of these stores changed within the time span of Myrtle Square's thirty-year history, although some remained loyal and remained in the same location.

In 1976, the first Chick-Fil-A in the Myrtle Beach area was opened in the mall by John Shaw, a sales manager from Greer SC.  At the time, there were less than 50 of these restaurants nationwide, all in shopping malls. John served as the president of the Myrtle Square Merchants Association for most of his time there.

In order to open the mall more rapidly, half of the mall was delayed in opening until the next year as a "Phase II". Many new stores, including Sears, opened that year.  It included a mail-ordering delivery destination for many of Myrtle Beach's residents when they ordered from the Sears catalog. Myrtle Beach's first attempt at an enclosed mall had been a success.

In addition, several outparcels were built around the mall. Big Star Supermarket opened on the southwest area of the complex, as well as Citizens Bank.

Renovation
Over ten years had passed before any updates to the mall would take place.  In those ten years, Myrtle Beach had grown extensively, and Briarcliffe Mall had opened in the Briarcliffe Acres area.  To compete with shopping in the area, Myrtle Square Mall underwent a renovation.  In the spring of 1985, Burroughs and Chapin began a renovation process that would take two months, beginning in February and ending in April.  Some of the changes made included four additional kiosks.  New stores appeared, including P-Nut Shak, Incredible Chocolate Chip Cookie Company, Things Remembered, and Nautical but Nice.  In addition, all trees were replaced, and new flooring was installed.  Several stores also received extensive renovations.

The large clock remained in the mall following the renovations.  It, too, was updated.  According to Burroughs and Chapin officials, the clock had received a large amount of use and attention that was not originally planned.  Burroughs and Chapin also updated the original clock design to better accommodate shoppers.

Later operation
The later 1980s and 1990s became a quiet time for Myrtle Square Mall.  What was once the Coker's Department Store became the Carousel Court area by 1991.  Carousel Court included a carousel area and an entertainment area.  A food court was also added, replacing a landscaped entrance court located next to Sears.  The food court won an International Council of Shopping Centers award in 1988 soon after it opened.

Coastal Grand Mall
Burroughs and Chapin began planning a new mall in the Myrtle Beach area named Mall of South Carolina, later to be changed to Coastal Grand Mall.  This mall was going to be located at the intersection of US 17 and US 501 north of Myrtle Beach International Airport.  Construction work began in 2003 and the mall opened in March 2004.

Closure
To some, the opening of Coastal Grand Mall meant the beginning of the end.  To others, it meant that Myrtle Beach would start to come into the 21st century.  The mall had not been updated for about twenty years, leaving the mall in a minor condition of disrepair. Since the mall was owned by the same owner as the new mall, Burroughs and Chapin had the power to close Myrtle Square, which would eventually happen.  Most of the stores in Myrtle Square moved to the new mall in early 2004, so the mall became mostly vacant within a few weeks.

Coastal Carolina University had several of its offices in Myrtle Square, as well as the Republican Party headquarters for Horry County.

Additionally, during the mall's last year in operation, the Carousel Court area served as the temporary offices for the Department of Motor Vehicles while that agency's offices underwent renovation.

Peebles also remained inside of the mall until Labor Day of 2005.  It had a liquidation sale before the store closed.  The other tenants remaining also closed up shop shortly after, and the mall sat vacant for three months.

Demolition
Demolition began with the removal of the blue tiles on the exterior of the former Belk building.  On December 22, 2005, a request for the demolition had been filed with the Ocean and Coastal Resource Management and was subject to public comment until January 2, 2006.  The work required a stormwater permit in which Burroughs and Chapin showed that debris from the demolition would not enter any waterways via stormwater.

The demolition of the mall was completed by Vereen Construction Company.  A second demolition permit filed in the city of Myrtle Beach was approved on December 30, 2005.  The Charleston-based company LS3P was charged with coming up with a plan on what to do with the property after the building had been demolished.  City water lines and power lines were disconnected soon thereafter, and structural demolition began.

As of January 2006, almost all of the former Sears building had been demolished, as well as some of Phase II and the northern stores.  Demolition had halted at about the center of the mall until mid-2006; the mall has since been demolished fully. Until a plan has been determined for future use of the property, the land will remain vacant.

Thread: Which brake is better for FR\DH?
Last edited by NIRAN; 12-09-2009 at 06:19 PM.
Why limited to these brakes?
I'd go with the Formula over the Quad.
more expensive than RX but Formula the One's will handle all your DH/FR needs.
Quad is a relatively unknown company. Formula will probably be much easier to obtain parts for.

From Brandon Friedman (@BrandonF) via Twitter, about 11:30 pm EST:
If you watch the Ancestry.com TV ads, you always see people who find wonderful, redeeming stories about their families.What they don't prepare you for is that you also find the names and dollar values of the people your family used to own.
Warren 24 years old, yellow color, $1,500; Mease a man 28 yrs old, black color, $1,400;Nettie 20 yrs old, black color, and her children, $1,700; Sarah 17 yrs old and her children, $750; India 52 yrs old black color, $350.
No idea what became of them.
Those are sobering thoughts that harken back to a darker part of our national heritage - a part that we have not left fully behind, when slavery and indentured servitude were used to build the nation on the backs of others.

The Hornet's Nest Kicked Back - A Review of Susan Lindauer's Extreme Prejudice
Submitted by MichaelCollins on December 22, 2010 - 02:39
Fiction delivers justice that reality rarely approaches. Victims endure suffering and emerge as victors after overcoming incredible challenges. Stieg Larsson's gripping Millennium Trilogy weaves a story of revenge and triumphs for Lizbeth Salander, locked away in a mental institution and sexually abused for years. When Salander got out and threatened to go public about a high level sexual exploitation ring, the perpetrators sought to lock her up again. In the final installment, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, Salander found some justice. (Image)
Susan Lindauer's autobiography, Extreme Prejudice, tells a story with certain broad similarities. In her case, however, the hornet's nest kicked back with a real vengeance. After over a decade as a U.S intelligence asset, Lindauer was privy to information about pre war Iraq that threatened to serve up a huge embarrassment to the Bush-Cheney regime. She hand delivered a letter to senior Bush administration officials in hopes of averting what she predicted would be the inevitably tragic 2003 US invasion of Iraq. Those officials, unnamed in the indictment, were her second cousin, then White House chief of staff Andy Card, and Colin Powell.

Open Thread - Education: The downward spiral continues
Submitted by Connecticut Man1 on August 10, 2010 - 13:24
I'd like to ask ePM's Hawaiian Blog mistress if there is more to this story than what it appears to be, but slashing education budgets and cutting down on days in school just does not strike me as a good thing to do:
In Hawaii, school's out for recession
At a time when President Barack Obama is pushing for more time in the classroom, his home state has created the nation's shortest school year under a new union contract that closes schools on most Fridays for the remainder of the academic calendar.
The deal whacks 17 days from the school year for budget-cutting reasons and has education advocates incensed that Hawaii is drastically cutting the academic calendar at a time when it already ranks near the bottom in national educational achievement.
While many school districts have laid off or furloughed teachers, reduced pay and planning days and otherwise cut costs, Hawaii's 171,000 public schools students now find themselves with only 163 instructional days, compared with 180 in most districts in the U.S.
Given our kids results, not just Hawaiian kids but US kids across the country, in comparison to other nation's kids you would think states would be considering longer school years and more money and resources for them? I know that this is an old report but I have yet to see anything to suggest these trends have changed. Even the reports suggesting otherwise - misleadingly with a lot of selective wording of their own, IMHO - read like "It could be worse" and "Yay! we haven't slipped into last place, yet.". Well?
This is an Open Thread.

In case you missed any of them, below you'll find links to each of the 10 writers who participated in the first edition of my series of interviews aimed at expanding our understanding of experimental literature. We generated a heap of conversation and interest, not only here but all over the web: from Ron Silliman to The New Yorker and elsewhere. Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback from this series, I have decided to keep it going. I'm currently in the process of creating the questions for the second round of the series, which I've decided to formulate by using the answers given by the writers from the first series. This way, hopefully, it'll feel like an ongoing conversation. You can expect the next edition to appear in the month of May, and to include ten new writers of experimental literature. My thanks to everybody for participating. This has been a really great experience. I'm looking forward to presenting the next edition!

Amnesty International is calling on rights groups to keep up the pressure on governments and weapons manufacturers to stop providing arms to the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.
In its annual report - marking International Human Rights Day - Amnesty mentioned that millions of people "are at risk of famine."
The Amnesty report also said that almost 17,000 civilians have been killed or injured since the conflict began in the war-torn country.
A report by the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) published earlier this year had said that more than 6,000 children were among victims of the violence that resulted from attacks by the US-backed Saudi coalition.
The Amnesty report also warned that those who continue to sell weapons to Saudi risk being complicit in war crimes in Yemen.
Amnesty highlighted a shift in policy towards the conflict in Yemen, in response to its efforts or international outrage over rising civilian casualties
The report mentioned several European countries including Spain, Germany, Greece, Norway and Finland where respective leaders and politicians had reviewed their relationship and sales to countries engaged in the conflict.
The report comes as the Yemeni government and Houthi rebels participate in UN sponsored talks in Sweden.
The Amnesty report says that the coalition air forces of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) air forces bombed residential areas, targeted civilian infrastructure, and even struck a school bus full of children during their raids that were carried this year.
It also highlighted the "reckless" ground attacks carried out by Yemen's Houthi armed group that "indiscriminately shelled urban centres and villages."
World's worst humanitarian crisis
The conflict began with the Iran-aligned Houthi takeover of the capital, Sanaa, and much of northern Yemen in 2014. The Saudi-led coalition went to war with the rebels the following March.
The fighting in Yemen has generated the world's worst humanitarian crisis. The executive director of the UN's World Food Program, David Beasley, said on Tuesday that 12 million people suffer from "severe hunger."
"I've heard many say that this is a country on the brink of catastrophe," Beasley said. "This is not a country on the brink of a catastrophe. This is a country that is in a catastrophe."
An earlier report by the WHO had said that 500,000 children were suffering from severe acute malnutrition while another million under the age of five were severely malnourished.
The WHO report had said that seven million people were threatened by harsh condition of malnutrition in the country that the UN has warned is at risk suffering the world's worst famine in decades.

FDA Advisory Committee Member On Vote On Pfizer's Coronavirus Vaccine Authorization
AILSA CHANG, HOST:
An FDA advisory panel has voted to recommend emergency authorization for Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for patients 16 and older. The Food and Drug Administration typically follows the panel's advice, so it is possible vaccinations could begin within days. Dr. Cody Meissner from Tufts University School of Medicine was part of that panel, and he joins us now.
CODY MEISSNER: Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to be here.
CHANG: Well, it's a pleasure having you. So the specific question before the panel today was, do the benefits of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine outweigh its risks for use in people 16 years of age and older? How did you vote on that question?
MEISSNER: That's correct. That was the question, and the question received the majority of votes in favor. I voted...
CHANG: Seventeen.
MEISSNER: Yes. I voted to abstain because I was a little uncomfortable with the inclusion of 16- and 17-year-old adolescents in that request for authorization.
CHANG: Right. Let's talk about that because I know your specialty is pediatric. So what were the concerns you had about recommending emergency use authorization for this vaccine in younger people?
MEISSNER: Well, remember; this is an entirely new vaccine. As people, I think - most people are aware, it's a so-called messenger RNA vaccine. We've never had a vaccine that worked in this same manner. Now, the experience that Pfizer presented today - that is, their data from this trial - was just remarkable. This vaccine has been developed in a very short period of time, less than a year. And the efficacy trials have been conducted in a remarkably short period of time, and they've met the criteria that the FDA listed as necessary for an EUA. So from that standpoint, it's wonderful. There are more than 2,500 people dying during each day. Yesterday there were over 2,500.
CHANG: Yes.
MEISSNER: And there will be probably 50,000 deaths due to COVID-19 in the next year - I'm sorry; the next month.
CHANG: Right.
MEISSNER: So...
CHANG: Yet you still have concerns about this particular vaccine when it comes to younger kids, right?
MEISSNER: Yes. I think the issue is this. We were asked the question, does the benefit outweigh the risk? And for the older-age spectrum, clearly there's great risk. That's where most of the deaths, most of the hospitalizations, most of the ICU admissions are occurring. If you look at children...
MEISSNER: ...Particularly people under 20 years of age, they are getting infected. No question about it. But they're not getting sick.
CHANG: OK.
MEISSNER: They aren't symptomatic. And...
CHANG: So what would you need to know to feel comfortable about authorizing this vaccine in an emergency use situation for those kids?
MEISSNER: Yes. There were only 163 children who were included in this trial - or 163 adolescents 16 to 17 years old. And there were 44,000 people who were enrolled altogether. So it was a very small number. And about half of those 163 got placebo, and half got the vaccine. So we're talking about 80 16- and 17-year-old...
MEISSNER: ...Children who received the vaccine. They're very unlikely to be hospitalized. They're very unlikely to be sick. And they're...
CHANG: So it sounds like you just needed more data. I'm sorry. We are - out of time. But the does that sum it up - that you just needed more data?
MEISSNER: I mean, it's a very important vaccine, and it's wonderful...
MEISSNER: ...We've got it for older individuals.
CHANG: All right. Dr. Cody Meissner of Tufts University School of Medicine, thank you very much.
MEISSNER: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Q: Assigning tasks to workers of different skill level Suppose we have a stream of nonidentical tasks that flow in and a set of nonidentical workers to handle them.
To simplify, let's say there are K types of tasks and N workers.
Each worker will take a different amount of time to handle each of the K types of tasks (we can represent the time it takes in a N x K matrix, which is assumed to be known).
Given the distribution of task inflow (say Poisson with some parameter and each task is equally likely to be one of the K tasks), what's an algorithm that will minimize the average wait time of the tasks?
Thanks

There are many libraries providing "Paging UI" which have menu and content area. They are convenient but not customizable because your app has to be made compatible with the libraries' layout and view components. When your philosophy doesn't fit the libraries, you need to fork them or find another one.
PagingKit has more flexible layout and design than the other libraries. You can construct "Menu" and "Content" UI, and they work together. That's all features this library provides. You can fit any design to your apps as you like.
You can align views as you like.
You can customize menu as you like.
> ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
In Xcode, move to "Genera > Build Phase > Linked Frameworks and Library"
There are some samples in this library.
You can fit PagingKit into your project as the samples do. Check out this repository and open the workspace.
PagingKit has two essential classes.
PagingMenuViewController provides interactive menu for each content. PagingContentViewController provides the contents on a scrollview.
If you will make a new UI which contains PagingKit, refer the following 4 steps.
First, add PagingMenuViewController & PagingContentViewController on container view with Stroyboard.
Put container views on stroyboard for each the view controllers.
input PagingMenuViewController on custom class setting.
input PagingContentViewController on custom class setting.
Assign them on code of the container view controller.
Declare properties in container view controller.
Assigin view controllers to each the property on prepare(segue:sender:).
Build and check the current state.
It shows a container view controller that has PagingMenuViewController and PagingContentViewController.
Next, you needs to prepare the menu elements.
PagingKit has PagingMenuViewCell. PagingMenuViewController uses it to construct each menu element.
PagingKit has PagingFocusView. PagingMenuViewController uses it to point the current focusted menu.
Then, implement the data sources to display contents. They are a similar to UITableViewDataSource.
Return number of menus, menu widthes and PagingMenuViewCell objects.
Return the number of contents and view controllers.
Call reloadData() methods with starting point.
Build and display data source.
Last, synchronize user interactions between Menu and Content.
Implement menu delegate to handle the event. It is a similar to UITableViewDelegate. You need to implement scroll method of PagingContentViewController in the delegate method.
Implement content delegate to handle the event. It is similar to UIScrollViewDelegate. You need to implement the scroll event of PagingMenuViewController. "percent" is distance from "index" argument to the right-side page index.
TitleLabelMenuViewCell and UnderlineFocusView are build-in UI components. You don't need to make custom PagingMenuViewCell and PagingFoucsView, when your App require simple UI.
SimpleViewController in this repository helps you to understand usege.
PagingMenuViewCell has isSelected property. PagingMenuView updates the property if the focusing cell is changed. You can change the style by overriding the property.
PagingMenuViewController has an utility method to align cellls.
If you want to align cells on the center, the following code will help you.
There are some snippets to save your time.
Install them on ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets/ and restart Xcode. You can see the snippets on the right pane.
There are some design policy in this library.
The behavior needs to be specified by the library.
The layout should be left to developers.
Arrangement of the internal components must be left to developers.
Because of that, PagingKit has responsiblity for the behavior. But it doesn't specify a structure of the components.
PagingKit favours composition over inheritance. This figure describes overview of the class diagram.

Presentation of results in Chile
SDGs & Families presentation at the Universidad de Los Andes
Santiago de Chile, 28th May 2019
The Institute of Family Sciences of the Universidad de Los Andes, together with the International Federation for Family Development (IFFD), in collaboration with UNICEF and the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations, organized an event where to present the results of the Global Research Project on the Family and the Sustainable Development Goals.
What is the role of families and family policies play for the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals? To find the answer, three international experts participated in the Seminar 'Sustainable Development and Family', the results of a study conducted by the UNICEF Innocenti Research Center. Ignacio Socías, director of International Relations of the International Federation for Family Development (IFFD), explained the scope and the foundation of the SDGs. In his turn, Dominic Richardson, head of the social and economic policy area of the UNICEF Research Center, referred to the SDGs and the Global Research Project. The Focal Point on families of the United Nations, Renata Kaczmarska, detailed the role played by the family as an active agent of social development and its importance for the fulfillment of the UN 2030 Agenda.
The event started with some welcoming remarks by one of the vicepresidents of the University and a keynote speech of a local academic, prof. Javiera Reyes, on the situation of the family in Chile. The Secretary of Childhood, Carol Bown, was in charge of closing the Seminar. She explained the government initiatives to put the family institution at the center of social policy, under the principle that "no public policy can replace the role played by the family."

Confessions of a Sex Assault Victim
Posted in Lifestyle	by Nikki
NOTE: The names in this article have been changed for privacy reasons.
Daphne was only 15-years-old when she was sexually assaulted by a man nearly double her age. She had already been going through a lot for a teenager to deal with but this crime nearly pushed her over the edge.
Three words could save someone's life.
As a teenager, Daphne had a low self-esteem; all her friends were getting boyfriends and were living the "dream life" while the only boy that Daphne ever loved had denied her, requesting that they only "stay friends". Desperate for that connection with a male, she turned to seedy online sites in an attempt to find that romance. After many failed attempts at finding love – including men who sent her indecent pictures of themselves – she met Dean. A tall, lean and handsome man at 29-years-old, he offered Daphne everything she ever wanted in a boyfriend and more.
"It was comforting to know I had someone to turn to," she said.
At first, everything was so sweet that it was surreal. He admitted his deep feelings for her after a short period of time and Daphne, being naive and young, felt that she loved him as well. She couldn't wait to move out with him and start her "dream life".
It wasn't long after, however, that Dean became more perverted and obsessive over his much younger girlfriend. He began requesting nude pictures of the girl who obliged to satiate her man. His requests to meet her grew more urgent and her overwhelming need to keep Dean happy ultimately took over and she agreed to meet him.
One night, he picked her up in his car and the couple drove off to a nearby park. Daphne knew something was going on but she was too scared to say anything. Dean began to pressure Daphne into engaging in sexual activities and Daphne didn't feel comfortable. She told him no several times but he insisted that it was the right thing to do.
"I had told him that I was down for whatever, but really, I was talking myself up. I knew I wasn't going to do anything," she said.
Dean grew tired of Daphne turning him down, so he took matters into his own hands. He pulled his pants down and climbed on top of her and pleaded her to have sex with him, all the while giving her no say in the matter. She screamed. As much as she pushed him, Dean was relentless in his advances on the girl. Finally, after seeing a break, Daphne managed to kick him in the face and escaped the car, a complete emotional wreck.
"Lucky I was near home, otherwise I wouldn't have known where to go."
Dean hurled abuse at her through his car window as Daphne ran home. She disappeared into her bedroom without telling her family or friends what had happened.
Having her heart broken, her trust destroyed and her mental stability demolished, Daphne thought of "an easy way out". The following night, Daphne tried to hang herself, but as fate would have it, she was not successful.
"It was the lowest point in my life," she said.
Daphne's family had discovered her pictures and conversations on her computer and confronted her, which led to her confessing to her family what had happened with Dean. However, he disappeared off the radar and Daphne was unable to report him to the police as it was found that he had given her a fake name.
Now 20-years-old, Daphne thinks of the situation as a "terrible but important learning experience".
"It toughened me up and has made me the woman I am today," she said. "Looking back at it, I wish I would have spoken to my friends or my parents about it."
It's for this reason that Daphne is a big advocate of R U Ok? – a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging conversations to prevent suicide. She feels as if someone would've asked her this simple question, her choices may have been different.
Daphne also remembers a time where she saw Dean briefly at a shopping centre when she was 18-years-old where he was with another young woman, probably around her age.
"I froze," she said, "I didn't know what to do, so I just froze. He walked past me and didn't look at me, and it was one of the biggest reliefs of my life."
5 years on and the experience still haunts Daphne, although to a much lesser extent. She believes that she has anxiety due to the bad memory, as she suffers from panic attacks occasionally. I admired how brave she was to calmly talk about this to me and how confident she was.
If you see a friend that looks unhappy, a simple three word phrase like "R u ok?" can do so much for that person.
Another three word phrase to keep in mind: "No means no."

To access the blog archive for Elliott Law Group, interested persons, can visit https://www.elliottlawgroup.com/category/immigration-law/. Legal topics may include the following: green card status, work visas, processing a family visa and DACA questions. Legal issues affecting both U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents might include the following: personal injury cases, marijuana DUI, traffic tickets and criminal defense. It should noted, of course, the blog posts can in no way be construed as legal advice. Persons looking for immigration attorneys in Spokane and/or Coeur d'Alene are urged to visit the website and then reach out for a confidential attorney consultation. Those seeking an informational page on immigration can visit https://www.elliottlawgroup.com/areas-of-practice/immigration-lawyer/.
Here is background on this release. Locals seeking help from immigration attorneys in Washington and Idaho can find preliminary answers at the newly archived blog page. Issues concerning green cards, visas and personal injury cases can be perused (in general), and then for specific issues, the person can reach out for an attorney consultation on immigration.
Individual experiences can vary for local non-citizens seeking immigration attorneys in Spokane or Coeur d'Alene. One may need a green card renewed but another could require help with a DACA issue; one may be from Mexico, and the other from Russia; and one may be all by himself and the other may be part of a family group.
For these reasons, Elliott Law Group has announced a new blog archive for the residents of Washington and Idaho as a starting point on immigration issues. Blog post topics can range from visa issues to DACA situations all with a focus on local Washington and Idaho perspectives. At that point, locals seeking help from immigration attorneys in Coeur d'Alene, ID and Spokane, WA, can move beyond the blog to a one-on-one consultation.
