I Am a White Mother of Black Sons. Here's What I Know.
Raising black sons in a white world.
It was 1969 and 1973, both times in early fall, when I first saw your small bodies, rose and tan, and fell in love for the second and third time with a black body, as it is named, for my first love was for your father. Always a word lover, I loved his words, trustworthy, often not expansive, sometimes even sparse, but always reliable and clear. How I—a first-generation Russian-Jewish girl—loved clarity! Reliable words—true words, measured words, filled with fascinating new life stories, drawing me down and in. The second and third times I fell in love with black bodies I became a black body, not Black, but black in a way I'd say without shame and some humor, for mine is dark tan called white. But I am the carrier, I am the body who carried them, released on a river of blood.
Am I black in a cop's hands when he is pushing, pressing hard for dope or a gun or a rope or a knife or a fist? I am not a black body, yet my body is somehow, somewhere, theirs—Trayvon's, Emmett's, thousands more at the end of a rope's tight murderous swing, black as a night stick splits my head, shatters my chest, black as a boy not yet a man walking toward a man with a gun, suddenly shot dead, a just-become man walking down the stairs toward a gun, black as a tall man, a big man, looking strong but pleading for his breath, killed by choking arms and bodies piled on top of his head.
Once I wrote a story—a black man named Samuel, enslaved in Maryland's western shore, 1863—I drew him in words. His death was terrible and vicious, his body dismembered by the man who called him property, the crime—impregnating the man's daughter—a woman I called Louisa. I named her in part for a strong friend I wanted to conjure by my side as I wrote, but she was based on a real-life young woman who lived in actual history, a woman named Jane, the same name as my own.
I watched him die with Louisa, and with Ruth, Samuel's mother, a character based in part on my mother-in-law, granddaughter of an enslaved American, and my close friend for more than 40 years now, and I tried not to hide my eyes from the brutal human dismemberment—the belief that they could erase his memory, his life as a man, yet thinking in this way to preserve the memory of his crime: a black man, enslaved, fathering the child of a young white woman who loved him. I called the novel Inheritance. I wanted to claim the terrible history of my country, to honor the necessity of collective memory. I want to assert the power and capacity, the necessity, for human empathy and the deeper-than-skin-deep identification that comes with love.
My younger son loved poetry and has almost the same name as one of the falsely convicted boys in the Central Park Jogger case, so he wrote poems about them—the animal names they were called, the possibility, later proven, of their innocence. Searching for healing, I introduced him to African American poetry, a centuries-long tradition of various and elegant forms, poems of lamentation, and of the grace of memory and of love.
We chanted loud, Women in Black, United Nations Plaza, 1999, calling out slowly the times Amadou Diallo was shot for pulling out his wallet. His mother's voice in the vestibule where he was murdered, crying out his name—Amadou, Amadou—again and again and again.
And right now, as I write in the early winter days of 2015, I want courage here, a collective call, a shared claim—I am the mothers and fathers of black sons shot down on Northern streets and stairwells and highways. Whiteness is a social and political category created to embed in the mind a false description of the body, its purpose to confirm privilege and superiority, to deny solidarity. It is not me. I reject it. It is not you.

Microsoft's Bing and browser pivot to business
Ina Fried, author of Login
Microsoft's revamped Edge browser has a new rendering engine and a focus on business users. Image: Microsoft
Microsoft is announcing today that its Bing search engine and Edge web browser will now focus primarily on business users.
Why it matters: For Bing, the move is a recognition that a years-long effort to take on Google in the broad-based search business has failed. In browsers, meanwhile, the shift is a sign of how far the mighty have fallen: Two decades ago, Microsoft's Internet Explorer dominated the browser market so thoroughly it was seen as a monopoly.
Details: Microsoft is adding new features to the products to enhance their business appeal, including unified web search with search on a company's internal network, as well as new privacy and security features.
"We're trying to stake a claim of saying we are the best browser and search engine for business users," Longtime Microsoft executive Yusuf Mehdi said in an interview. "We think people who browse the web in general may actually want to use it for their personal lives."That said, not many consumers have been choosing Microsoft for their browsing or search needs.
Microsoft's browsers have been losing share for some time, largely to Google's Chrome but also to Firefox and Apple's Safari. Globally, neither IE nor Edge are in the top 5 browsers, with even Opera and Samsung ahead of Microsoft's two offerings. In the U.S., Microsoft fares somewhat better, with Edge the No. 4 browser with nearly 4% of the market and IE holding 3.2%, per StatCounter.
In search, Bing has less than 3% of the global market, with Google having more than 90%. In the U.S., Bing holds 6.3%, with Google controlling more than 88%.
In addition to repositioning its Edge browser, Microsoft has been busy swapping out its core rendering engine to use Chromium, the engine that powers Chrome and a number of other browsers.
The newly revamped Edge is being made available now as a release candidate, with broad availability scheduled for mid-January.
Microsoft is making the announcements at its Ignite conference, which kicks off today in Orlando.

Q: RxSwift - Determining whether an Observable has been disposed I'm trying to get Publisher which vends Observables to its clients Consumer, to determine when one of its consumers has disposed of its Observable.
Annoyingly. my code was working fine, until I removed an RxSwift .debug from within the Consumer code.
Is there some alternative way I might get this working?
private class Subscriber {
    var ids: [Int]
    // This property exists so I can watch whether the observable has
    // gone nil (which I though would happen when its been disposed, but it
    // seems to happen immediately)
    weak var observable: Observable<[Updates]>?
}

class Publisher {
    private let relay: BehaviorRelay<[Int: Updates]>
    private var subscribers: [Subscriber] = []

    func updatesStream(for ids: [Int]) -> Observable<[Updates]> {
        let observable = relay
           .map { map in
               return map
                   .filter { ids.contains($0.key) }
                   .map { $0.value }
           }
           .filter { !$0.isEmpty }
           .asObservable()

        let subscriber = Subscriber(ids: ids, observable: observable)
        subscribers.append(subscriber)
        return observable
    }

    private func repeatTimer() {
        let updates: [Updates] = ....

        // I need to be able to determine at this point whether the subscriber's
        // observable has been disposed of, so I can remove it from the list of
        // subscribers. However `subscriber.observable` is always nil here.
        // PS: I am happy for this to happen before the `repeatTimer` func fires
        subscribers.remove(where: { subscriber in
            return subscriber.observable == nil
        })

        relay.accept(updates)
    }
}

class Client {

    private var disposeBag: DisposeBag?
    private let publisher = Publisher()

    func startWatching() {
        let disposeBag = DisposeBag()
        self.disposeBag = disposeBag

        publisher
            // with the `.debug` below things work OK, without it the
            ///`Publisher.Subscriber.observable` immediately becomes nil
            //.debug("Consumer")
            .updatesStream(for: [1, 2, 3])
            .subscribe(onNext: { values in
                print(values)
            })
           .disposed(by: disposeBag)
    }

    func stopWatching() {
        disposeBag = nil
    }
}

A: I think this is a very bad idea, but it solves the requested problem... If I had to put this code in one of my projects, I would be very worried about race conditions...
struct Subscriber {
    let ids: [Int]
    var subscribeCount: Int = 0
    let lock = NSRecursiveLock()

    private let relay = BehaviorRelay<[Int: Updates]>(value: [:])

                    subscriber.lock.lock()
                    subscriber.subscribeCount -= 1
                    subscriber.lock.unlock()
                })
                .asObservable()

                subscribers.append(subscriber)
                return observable
                }

    private func repeatTimer() {
        subscribers.removeAll(where: { subscriber in
            subscriber.subscribeCount == 0
        })
    }

Sarah Ferguson Is Apparently Very Involved With Planning Princess Eugenie's Royal Wedding
Mother of the bride alert!
Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images
While it might not be met with the same international fanfare as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's, another royal wedding is on the horizon: that of Princess Eugenie and her longtime love Jack Brooksbank. And Sarah Ferguson, ex-wife of Prince Andrew and the proud mum of Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, is reportedly a quintessential mother of the bride when it comes to planning her younger daughter's upcoming nuptials.
Per a report from palace insiders in People, "Fergie," as she's affectionately know to the British public, knows that although "it is very much Princess Eugenie and Jack's day, and they are leading the planning," she is still "very involved" in planning other intricacies around the wedding. People also reports that the wedding will be paid for "privately" as opposed to utilizing funds from the public.
If you're unaware of this next royal wedding event, Princess Eugenie and Brooksbank, a "commoner" with no blood lineage to British royalty, will wed at Windsor Castle on October 12. "The Duke and Duchess of York are delighted to announce the engagement of Princess Eugenie to Mr. Jack Brooksbank," Buckingham Palace said in its formal press release in January, stating that the couple became engaged while traveling in Nicaragua around the New Year's holiday.
https://twitter.com/RoyalFamily/status/955381243696308224/photo/1
Not to mention, Princess Eugenie showed off her gorgeous, tasteful ring—a padparadscha sapphire surrounded by diamonds—on the same day as the palace's official announcement.
https://twitter.com/RoyalFamily/status/955435601083404288
While it's currently unknown if her wedding will be televised, just like Markle and Prince Harry's nuptials, commoners are invited to wait outside the castle and watch the procession of royals (and VIP guests) arrive and leave the ceremony.

Daniel João Santos Candeias (born 25 February 1988) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger for Turkish club Alanyaspor.

He was on the books of both Porto and Benfica, where he was mostly loaned out, and amassed most of his 134 Primeira Liga appearances and 15 goals while at Nacional. He also played over 100 games in the Turkish Süper Lig with Alanyaspor and Gençlerbirliği, and had spells in Spain, Germany, France and Scotland.

Club career

Porto
Born in Fornos de Algodres, Guarda District, Candeias started his professional career with FC Porto in the 2008–09 season, after emerging through the club's youth ranks and having served a loan at Varzim S.C. in the Segunda Liga. He made his official debut for the former in late August, in the 2–0 defeat to Sporting CP in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.

After having appeared scarcely throughout his first year (also playing ten minutes in the 4–0 loss against Arsenal in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League), Candeias was loaned in late January to league strugglers Rio Ave FC, until the end of the campaign. For 2009–10 another loan ensued, as he moved to Recreativo de Huelva in the Spanish Segunda División.

However, after a few months during which he appeared infrequently, Candeias returned to Portugal in late January 2010 to join F.C. Paços de Ferreira, again on loan. His first match for his new team was a 1–2 home loss against G.D. Chaves in the quarter-finals of the Taça de Portugal. His maiden appearance in the Primeira Liga for them occurred on 7 February, as he featured 12 minutes of the 2–1 away victory over Vitória de Guimarães.

Nacional
In October 2010, Candeias moved to C.D. Nacional in the same league on a co-ownership deal. He was immediately loaned to Portimonense SC, appearing regularly as a starter but suffering top-flight relegation.

Upon returning to Funchal, Candeias made his debut in the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round against Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar of Iceland; he came on as a late substitute in the second leg on 21 July 2011 and scored to conclude a 2–0 win (3–1 aggregate). He netted 15 more goals for the side, including the winner with his first touch from the bench in a 2–1 comeback against C.S. Marítimo in the Madeira derby on 21 April 2013, and the opener of a win of the same score against his former club Porto the following 30 March, in which he also assisted the decider by Mario Rondón at the Estádio da Madeira.

Benfica
On 3 July 2014, Candeias signed for Portuguese champions S.L. Benfica, promising to "give everything" for the club. He failed to appear in any competitive games, however, being successively loaned to 1. FC Nürnberg in Germany, Granada CF in Spain, FC Metz in France and Alanyaspor in Turkey.

Rangers
On 11 June 2017, Candeias joined Scottish club Rangers on a two-year deal, for a reported transfer fee of £700,000. He made his debut 18 days later, playing 31 minutes in a 1–0 home win over FC Progrès Niederkorn in the UEFA Europa League.

Candeias scored his first goal for his new team on 9 August 2017, in a 6–0 rout of Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish League Cup. He netted in an Old Firm game on 11 March 2018 to give Rangers a 2–1 lead in a 3–2 loss to Celtic at Ibrox Park; three days later, he extended his contract until the summer of 2020.

Return to Turkey
On 22 July 2019, Candeias signed a two-year contract at Gençlerbirliği S.K. of the Turkish Süper Lig. His three goals of his first season in Ankara were all scored on 19 October in a 6–0 win at Antalyaspor, in which he added two assists to his hat-trick.

Having suffered relegation, Candeias returned to Alanyaspor on a deal of the same length in June 2021. Accompanying compatriots José Marafona, Wilson Eduardo and João Novais, he scored his first goal of his new spell away to Galatasaray S.K. on 19 September, coming off the bench to decide the game with three minutes remaining.

International career
After having made his Porto debut in 2008, Candeias was soon called up to the Portugal under-21 team. He won his first cap on 5 September of that year, coming on as a 58th-minute substitute for Vieirinha in a 2–0 away loss to England for the 2009 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.

'The Lego Batman Movie' Was Pretty Awesome!
February 5, 2017 · by samoliver1123	· in 2017 Films, Animated, DC Films, Film Reviews.	·
It seems as though the cinematic path of the LEGO franchise is going full speed ahead with The Lego Batman Movie. I'm guessing after the success of Lego Batman in The Lego Movie, the makers officially teamed up with DC to make another film featuring the plastic caped crusader. Despite being a family-friendly spoof kiddy film, I have to say that The Lego Batman Movie was pretty awesome, there's plenty of clever lines and quips to satisfy even the bigger kids in the audience.
The Verdict on The Lego Batman Movie
Overall it's a pretty easy going movie with all the chuckles and laughs you would expect from what is essentially a kid's movie. There's plenty of lines for Batman fans to enjoy with the Joker promising this evil plot to be 'better than the one with the two boats' and Batman snorting at the idea of 'making criminals fight the criminals' – glad the low opinion of Suicide Squad does fizzle into alternate universes! There were certainly a few clever lines dotted in the film that superhero aficionados will certainly appreciate! It's probably one of the most accurate commentaries and representations of Batman that we will ever see on a movie screen.
Lego did stay true to its roots with the full Lego construction feel, as well as the 'master-builder' idea. They seem to be forming their own little niche genre of film, which mirrors the way you can get LEGO versions of a huge amount of video games. The comedy spoof theme makes for some fun stories. I think The Lego Batman Movie demonstrates how literally anything can come into its own when unleashed into its own Lego universe. I think there will be more opportunities to see more of our favourite pop culture characters enter the famous yellow-figure form.
Anything Is Possible in Lego
I think the bizarre and random nature of the Lego films is certainly their strong-suit. The broad range of licensing rights of this toy franchise means some of the most random characters can be brought together. I mean, where else would you see The Joker team up with Lord Voldemort, King Kong, Daleks, The Eye of Sauron and a bunch of Gremlins? The expansive Lego universe makes it happen and it somehow works! It sets up the Lego film universe to be a place where anything is possible, which I suppose is the overriding feeling that LEGO wants us to have when we pick up those famous plastic bricks.
Another thing that was pretty impressive was the voice cast behind the film. As well as Will Arnett returning as Batman, there's also Ralph Fiennes, Michael Cera, Channing Tatum, Rosario Dawson, Jonah Hill, Zach Galifianakis, Jenny Slate – the list goes on! Huge names took the most minor of roles, which shows how big the Lego film universe is becoming.
Worth Heading To The Cinema For?
I would say if you loved The Lego Movie, then you're certainly going to love The Lego Batman Movie. Taken literally out of the same mould as the first film, I think it's a must-watch for Lego film fans. Kids will probably love it, and there's certainly something for the parents there too. It's probably one where the parents will tag along and end up enjoying it more than the kids!
Will you be watching The Lego Batman Movie anytime soon? What did you think if you've already seen the Dark Knight himself in action? Let me know in the comments below.

I'm really looking forward to this! I loved the Lego Movie and Batman was one of my favorite parts in it. I'm excited he's getting his own spin-off. 🙂

The Code are rather fascinated with enigma. Their album cover is a stark white image of a cassette tape, their website and social media accounts do not reveal much about them, and their name as well, is a term associated with secrecy. Perhaps it is to focus all attention to their work rather than themselves, but there is a charm to this air of anonymity which also lingers in their music, intentionally or not.
The duo represents the atmospheric electronic department of R&B, the kind currently spearheaded by artists such as FKA Twigs and The Weeknd. The droning synthesizers, breathy vocals and everything else thrown in on 1|11 revolves around the central intention of creating a cool and airy sensuality. This isn't an easy feat to achieve, especially when you're dealing purely with electronic music but tracks like Her – the albums most graceful mood-setter – stand as proof of The Code's knack for stepping up to the challenge.
The attention to detail and unconventionality of the duo's production takes only a minute into the album to uncover itself. The Code allow their cloud of mellow strings and hazy synthesizers to occasionally be disrupted by an icy stab of bass or a sudden stutter of beats, taking the greatest care to prevent a track from sounding repetitive.
1|11 stands as a solid debut effort. It's hard to know whether The Code will continue with this spaced out R&B vibe or further their experimentation on their next project and it hardly matters; what matters is right now. And right now, I want to listen to 1|11 again.

History made as two Muslim women elected to House of Representatives
Ayanna Pressley gives a victory speech at her primary night gathering on Sept. 4 2018 in Boston Massachusetts. Getty
The House is getting its first two Muslim women and MA is getting its first black congresswoman while Arizona and Tennessee stand to elect their first woman senators in Tuesday's midterm elections. "We're doing something disruptive, challenging conventional wisdom, narratives and norms about who has a right to run, when you can run, and whether or not you can win".
"Activists and agitators have brought us to this very moment, " Pressley told cheering supporters Tuesday night. "We ran to make change ... and change is on the way". That scenario behind her, she'll now represent the 7th Congressional District - the first in MA where minorities make up a majority of the voting population. The Democrat ran unchallenged in the general election after she unseated the incumbent, 10-term Rep. Michael Capuano, in a seemingly improbable upset that was all part of a larger "Blue wave" of Black women candidates winning primaries across the country.
Kennedy is returning to Congress for a fourth term representing the 4th district, which covers mostly southern MA.
Pressley, 44, had received an endorsement from former President Barack Obama last month, and New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in September.
State ballot measures to watch on Election Night
The measures differ on some details, like how much to tax medical pot and whether patients are allowed to grow their own plants. If two or more of the measures pass, it's likely that the measure that receives the most votes will go into effect.
The Boston City Council member first broke barriers in 2009, when she became the first woman of color elected to that body.
In the run-up to the midterms, Pressley held off on saying where she stands on Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats' embattled House leader.
Capuano, who is white, is a native of Somerville, but at the same time, did not look like the rest of the district. She was especially nonplussed by how the Democratic Party hadn't been rallying around her.

Florida approves Amendment 4, restoring ex-felons' voting rights
It took 150 years, but Florida voters overturned the state's constitutional voting ban on ex-felons Tuesday night. In 2016, 21 percent of African-Americans were disenfranchised, according to The Sentencing Project .

For the first time in school history, the Ferris women's soccer team can say they won an NCAA Division II Tournament game.
The number three seeded Bulldogs took down number six seed McKendree University Bearcats (Illinois) in a 2-0 shutout Thursday, Nov. 8, advancing Ferris into the second round of the tournament.
It did not take long for the Bulldogs to get on the scoreboard, as Ferris freshman forward Pia Nagel netted her ninth goal of the year coming off a pass from Ferris senior defender Carley Dubbert.
The rest of the first half was hotly contested, but neither team managed to score. A big part of that on Ferris' side was junior goalkeeper Alison Chesterfield, who acted as a brick wall in net, saving five shots.
The Bulldogs had a heavy offensive presence during the second half, which made it difficult for the Bearcats to have any opportunities, only able to get one shot off. Tensions remained high with the whole stadium knowing at any point the Bearcats could play a ball well and make it a tie game.
During the 62nd minute, Ferris junior defender Tia VanSuilichem eased the tension of the fans and the team, extending the Bulldog lead to 2-0. The Bulldogs kept the pressure on and had opportunities to get an insurance goal in the final minutes, but would settled with the two goals that they had.
Thursday marked many firsts for the Bulldogs as they not only played in, but hosted their first NCAA Division II regional tournament game.
The Bulldogs' record will remain at 15-3-3 on the year, but they gain a 1-0 record in postseason play. As for the Bearcats (13-5-1), their season ends with a first-round loss.
Ferris' second round test will be the second seeded Ohio Valley University Fighting Scots (Vienna, West Virginia), who took down the Bulldogs' Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) opponent Ashland 1-0 in the first round.
Ferris will have to contain the physical team that the Fighting Scots (17-2-3) are while possibly using their aggressive play against them, as their opponent has accumulated 38 yellow cards and one red card over the course of their 22-game season.
The Bulldogs are back noon Saturday, Nov. 10, hoping to add to their historic season and advance to the regional finals.

MathsBank: Maths Resources for Teachers and Students
A-Level Results 2015
Hundreds of thousands of teenagers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland received their A-level results on Thursday.
The proportion of A-level entries being awarded top A* and A grades has fallen slightly this year to 25.9% of entries, down from 26% last year.
In a year of "stable" results, overall passes (A*-C grades) rose marginally by 0.1 percentage point to 98.1%. The proportion getting the very top A* grade remained the same at 8.2%, with A grades down by 0.1%.
Schools minister Nick Gibb said the results showed the impact of the government's drive for "core academic subjects" with a 20% increase in maths entries since 2010. Traditional subjects such as geography and history have also seen strong growth in numbers, but computer science has seen the biggest increase.
With caps on the number of students at each university being removed, record numbers have been accepted on university courses. The Ucas university admissions service said that 409,000 places had already been confirmed, up 3% on last year.
Michael Turner, director of the Joint Council for Qualifications, pointed out "The over-riding message from this year's figures is one of stability. There have been no significant changes to the system."
"As a result thousands more pupils, from all backgrounds, are studying subjects that will secure them a place at a top university or an apprenticeship and that will help to secure well paid employment," said Mr Gibb.
Chris Keates, leader of the NASUWT teaching union, said that the results showed that the "gold standard" A-level system had been maintained, despite the pressure on schools to prepare for forthcoming changes to exams.
But this year's lifting of the cap on university places in England has seen more students than ever accepted on to courses.
Northern Ireland A-Level students achieved slightly fewer A and A* grades compared with last year, but still outperform England and Wales. The Joint Council for Qualifications said that 29.3% of Northern Irish entries achieved A or A* grades, a drop from 29.9% last year. Mathematics is also becoming a very popular subject for A-Level students in the province, with a 10.6% rise in the number of girls taking maths at A-Level in Northern Ireland.
But maths saw a fall in the number of students being awarded the top A* and A grades as did the science subjects and English.
This year's relatively stable results come before a period of major transition for the "gold standard" A-Level. First teaching for the new A-Levels in some subjects begins this year. For other subjects it will be 2016, and for Maths and Further Maths the new syllabus will be taught in September 2017 for the first time.

Undocumented Man Seeking Illinios Driver's License Reported To ICE By DMV Worker
Felipe de Jesus Diosdado-Arellano
An Illinois Secretary of State Department of Motor Vehicle worker turned in to ICE an undocumented driver seeking a driver's license for undocumented immigrants in the state.
Chicago, Illinois - Felipe de Jesus Diosdado-Arellano is waiting for a final determination on his deportation case after applying for an Illinois driver's license for undocumented immigrants in February. He went to the Secretary of State Department of Motor Vehicle (SOSDMV) to apply for license and gave his documents to a SOSDMV worker who wanted to make copies, but the worker instead contacted the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Three agents from ICE arrested Diosdado-Arellano and was placed on deportation status. According to Gail Montenegro, spokeswoman for ICE in the Chicago area said, that an immigration judge in 2000 had placed a deportation order for Diosdado-Arellano for a criminal conviction and fugitive status. Diosdado-Arellano says, that he missed an appointment with the immigration judge in 2000 because he never received any information about an immigration hearing, according to Noticiero Telemundo.
In 1999, Diosdado-Arellano was arrested by ICE while traveling on bus to Michigan and was later convicted in 2005 for driving under the influence. He was also convicted for applying for a Indiana Driver's License in 2000 with false documents, according to Telemundo Chicago.
Since then, Diosdado-Arellano had apply for a temperary stay to deal with his immigration deportation case, but was denied by the local ICE office. He is now waiting for another response from the Washington, D.C. ICE office about his temperary stay request.
The states of Illinois, California and North Carolina have changed their reporting status to ICE to only include those undocumented immigrants applying for driver licenses identified or wanted as terrorists.
In late January 2013, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn (D) signed into law a bill allowing non-citizens to apply for state driver's licenses. The measure took effect in November and allow more than 250,000 non-citizens residing in the state to apply for a legal driver's license.
Non-citizens would have to provide proof (copy) of a one year state residency by providing a lease, a utility bill(s) or other documentation. Temperary Visitor Licenses offered to tourists legally in the U.S. will also be available to non-citizens and they can be renewed every three years, but won't be valid as an ID to board a plane, buying a gun or voting purposes.

Starting to become aware of the things that cause you stress is the first step to releasing it. But once you've identified the behaviors that stress you out, how do you disconnect from them?
If it were as simple as just "stopping" the habits, you wouldn't need to read this article. The truth is, behavior change can be tricky. When you've spent years, sometimes decades, practicing a certain behavior, it's difficult to wake up one day and decide not to do it. When you replace the behavior with something else — something more productive — the process becomes much easier.
Here are six common habits that you're probably doing that are causing you stress. When you notice you're doing them, pause, and replace the behavior with a new one, recommended here.
Do you find yourself often trying to have a conversation while responding to an email? Checking your text messages while creating a PowerPoint presentation? This type of task juggling will make you less productive.
The brain just isn't designed to focus on more than one thing at a time — unless you're part of the 2 percent of the population that are good at multi-tasking. For the other 98 percent of us, when you are interrupted while in the flow — or self-interrupt — it takes an average of 25 minutes and 26 seconds to return to the task once distracted, according to a study led by Gloria Mark at the University of CA, Irvine. That's because you'll end up turning your attention to 2.26 other tasks before coming back to your original focus. What's more, is that the study found multitasking and interruptions caused significant increases in stress. Some studies say multitasking can result in a 40 percent reduction in productivity, too.
Try This, Instead: When you need to focus on one task, put on some headphones to signal to coworkers that you cannot be interrupted, turn off your phone and notifications, set a timer for 30 minutes, and complete one task. Rinse. Repeat.
If you find yourself regularly rushing from meeting A to meeting B, surpassing the speed limit by 20 m.p.h., or generally feeling like you're running behind, take heed. When you're constantly in a hurry, it creates a stress response in the brain that signals to your whole body that you're in trouble, and your entire physiology and mood is affected.
Try This, Instead: If you are truly going to be late to an appointment, meeting, or important event that you shouldn't be late to, send a courteous message that you'll be a few minutes late. Then slow down. It's likely that you won't change your arrival time whether you're hurrying or not. What will change is the fact that you are now arriving in a state of hurry and stress. When the state of "hurry" is the norm, your normal mood becomes one of stress, and we can all agree there is nothing healthy about feeling stressed. So slow down.
The fight-or-flight response can trigger shallow breathing, so when you find yourself sipping in short, small breaths, it can be a sign of anxiety and stress. Not only is it a sign of stress, but the shallow breathing perpetuates the feelings of stress, making it worse. It's a vicious cycle.
When fight-or-flight is activated, your heartbeat and breathing speeds up so you can get more oxygen (to help you fight or flee!) The problem is, the body's reaction to fight or flight is an overreaction, and you don't actually need to fight, flee, or get more oxygen when you are stressed. You need the exact opposite.
Try This, Instead: When you notice you are taking in short, small breaths, interrupt that cycle by slowing down the breath. Inhale for a count of 5, hold at the top for 2, and release on a slow count of 8. Repeat this at least three times to find a more balanced, healthy rhythm for your breath.
Do you catch yourself commonly throwing together presentations, assignments, and tasks last-minute? If so, you've probably realized how stressful that can be. There are dozens of reasons why you may be procrastinating. Some of them may be valid, and others may be excuses. Whatever the reason, it's causing you unnecessary stress.
Try This, Instead: As soon as you get a new project, get out a blank piece of paper. At the bottom, write down the end goal and at the top, write down where you are now — at the beginning. In between, draw 8 to 10 bullets. Beside each of the bullets, write down smaller steps or tasks you'll have to accomplish along the way. Once the tasks are outlined, get out your calendar and schedule the smaller tasks based on when the final project must be completed. It's much easier to motivate to complete a one-hour task than it is to begin a 20-hour project.
When you run through the motions on auto-drive, it is pretty much the opposite of being mindful. You cannot observe, notice, and engage with yourself and others when you're in auto-pilot. Whether driving, grocery shopping, or eating breakfast, when you notice that you're not being present, it's likely to cause you stress.
Try This, Instead: Next time you notice your mind has wandered from the activity you're engaged in, move through a simple process of tuning into each of your senses, one at a time. Follow the steps in this post about informal mindfulness to scan each of your senses — sight, sound, smell, feel, taste — one at a time to bring yourself back to the present moment.
For those of you with a short temper, this exercise will change your life. The goal is to start to bring awareness to the moment right before you lose your cool. It may feel like heat rising to your face, a pit in your stomach, your heartbeat speeding up — the signs are different for everyone. Start to pay attention to what happens to you when you're in a conversation that's getting heated. Typically if the conversation continues, voices will rise, feelings will get hurt, and nothing productive will come of it.
Try This, Instead: Take a time-out. As soon as you notice your particular indicator that the conversation is getting heated, tell the person you are with that you're noticing the stress level is high and you think the conversation will be more productive if you give yourself some time to calm down first. As politely as you can, excuse yourself. Then go take a walk or a few deep breaths to detach from the situation before diving back in. You may need 10 minutes or you may need two days. You can gauge when you feel the charge drop and continue the conversation in a calmer tone.
Catching yourself in the moment before an unhealthy behavior takes over is the best way to avoid these kinds of self-induced stresses in your life. With these tips, you can help manage your involvement in behaviors that stress you out and find a healthier balance.

This advent to the tale of Muslims in Western Europe describes their early heritage and descriptions the factors and classes of recent Muslim immigration. It explains how Muslim groups have constructed in person nations, their origins, present-day ethnic composition, distribution and organisational styles, and the political, criminal and cultural contexts during which they exist are explored. there's additionally a comparative attention of concerns universal to Muslims in all Western ecu international locations together with the position of the kinfolk, and the questions of worship, schooling and non secular thought.
Al-Mu'ayyad fi'l-DÌn al-ShÌrzÌ (d. 470/1087) was once an excellent, multi-talented Fatimid student of Persian starting place. He excelled as a missionary-agent, statesman, poet, preacher and theologian. in response to his autobiography, this paintings presents an perception into the striking lifestyles and achievements of al-Mu'ayyad via very important levels of his profession, describing his bold try to win over the Buyids of western Iran to the Fatimid reason, his harmful flight to Cairo and at last his day trip to Syria and Iraq to accumulate an alliance of neighborhood rulers opposed to the invading Saljuk Turks.
AMERICAN LECTURES at the background OF RELIGIONSSERIES OF 1914-1915MohammedanismLectures on Its foundation, Its spiritual and Political progress, and Its current MohammedanismISOME issues in regards to the foundation OF ISLÂMThere are greater than 200 million those that name themselves after the identify of Mohammed, wouldn't relinquish that identify at any fee, and can't think a better blessing for the rest of humanity than to be included into their communion.
Now to be had in paperback, The Reconciliation of the basics of Islamic legislation (or Al-Muwafaqat fi Usul al-Shari'), written by means of Ibrahim ibn Musa Abu Ishaaq al-Shatibi, used to be and continues to be an innovation in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), given that, for the 1st time, the goals of shari'a have been addressed.
As the religious life of the Alevi tradition hardly requires mosques (their worship is based on a form of the Bektashi dhikr) or Qur'an schools, they are hardly visible in the organised Muslim life of Germany. A study of the community in Berlin published in 1988 could only identify one Alevi organisation. An additional factor in this 'invisibility' is the distrust expressed towards them both by Sunni movements, who regard them as heretical, and by the Turkish authorities, who regard them as perhaps not quite loyal Turks.
Instead, there were growing numbers of refugees from various parts of the world, including Turkey, Iran and the Arab countries. Many of these had been entering via East Berlin, where the East German authorities were allowing people without valid papers to land and then sending them across to the western half of the city. An agreement between the two governments succeeded in putting a stop to this practice in August 1986, but the arrival of refugees continued, albeit in smaller numbers, and German policy towards the status of foreigners was, by the end of the decade, dominated by its attitude towards refugees.
The date was not coincidental. This was only a year after the Berlin Wall was erected, blocking the inflow of East Germans. It was also the year which saw the beginning of Turkey's first five-year plan, in which the export of labour was a major element. The effect of the agreement was that German companies seeking Turkish workers had to operate through official recruitment offices set up by the German and Turkish authorities in Turkey. People looking to find work in Germany had 26 Muslims in western Europe to go through medical checks and job interviews in Turkey and were issued with work permits and entry papers.


The Dublin School is a private school in New Hamsphire that operated a ski area, primarily for students, from the 1940's through at least 1983.
Originally we knew very little of this area, except for one postcard and a listing in a guidebook. But then we heard from 3 alumnae. And then we heard from Cornelia Throssel, whose father actually founded the school! Cornelia donated a book on the history of the Dublin School entitled "Dublin School - 1935 to 1970" by her father Paul Lehmann. This book is invaluable and made for a great read. This book also had many tidbits about the area, and several pictures of the ski area, all of which appear below. Thanks Cornelia!
Bill Brown: As I grew up, skiing became more and more important to me. So I selected the prep school I wanted to attend on this basis. I attended Dublin School in Dublin, NH from 1953 to 1957. Our ski area was said to be the best in the northeast private school system. The post card you show on your web site is a drawing of the lodge at the head of the "South Slope". This bulding still exists and can be seen on the downhill side of the Old Harrisville Road in Dublin about a 1/2 mile from Rte. 101 and just past the school itself. This building also housed the engine that ran the rope tow for the south slope and the north slope which was situated just to the right of the bulding as pictured.
The Dublin School only had about 65 boarding students at the time, and the students did about everything. We had to brush out the trails in the fall as well as clearing any new trails. While I was a student there, we created an entirely new area across the road from the area previously mentioned. The new area had a new and faster and longer rope tow which I remember was a terror. It was quite steep and somewhat rough, and with the speed of the thing you were often yanked off the ground over the bumps. This new tow took us almost to the top of Beech Hill and from there we cleared a double glade back down to the road as well as a long winding trail called the "Snail Trail". This new tow also gave us access to the top of our racing trail which was called the "Nose Dive" after the famous trail at Stowe. This trail, which we used to have to hike up to get to the top before the new tow, plunged down the steepest part of Beech Hill with some sharp turns and chutes that were, at places, only a few feet wide and then we would have to shoot across the road and be airborne before ending the race at the bottom of the North Slope.
This trail was quite well known in it's day and Dublin School would host down-hill, cross-country and jumping compitions with most of the major private schools in the area as well as Putney, Holderness, Mt. Hermon, Andover, Exeter, St. Pauls and the Harvard freshmen and others. Remains of this ski area still exist though grown up. I stopped and looked at it last year with tears in my eyes...so many memories...!
When I got there in 1953 there was only the area on the down-hill side of the road served by the one tow which was between the big main slope (south slope) and a smaller slope which was more like a trail called the north slope. I'm looking at an aerial photo of this in the back of the most recent alumni directory ( photo circa 1945) and it shows a lower tow at the bottom of the point where the north and south slopes come together. I don't have a personal memory of the lower tow, so it's possible it had been abandoned by 1953 but don't take my word for it.
This whole area was called the "Dubliner" and later when the new tow was put in across the road, it was called the north tow, (confusing). The new north tow was further along the road from the original south slope area by about 1/4 mile, as I remember, but when you took it to the top it accessed the beginning of the "Nose Dive" which angled down the hill and crossed the road onto the old north slope. So it all operated as the same area but there was somewhat of a physical separation.
Just thought I would let you know that in 1983 the Dublin school slopes were still in use. I remember packing them down was a Saturday work detail as well as maintaining the x-county course that let you ski into town.
I'm from Berlin/Germany and we have a lost ski area here that really fascinates me and they are thinking of reopening. I spent a year at Dublin School, NH. The school obviously has tons of pictures that could be put on this site. I have seen the area myself. It consisted of North Slope and South Slope, The first simply being above the second, divided by New Harrisville Road, which was simply skied across. Both had a tow and a couple of slopes. There is not much left of North slope - it was abandoned first. South slope doesn't look too bad. Right on New Harrisville Road there is the ski hut left (you can see it on the postcard), it included the tow engine. There are also some remnants of the poles and of course a wide open slope, that is overgrown with trees and debris. It was used by Dublin School's Ski Team for training and races, definitely longer than 1945.
Here is a photo of the North Slope, sent on May 29, 1945 from Dublin, NH.
Dear Flirst and Ed: Hope you both are well. Have nice place here. We are across from Dublin and Brick School about 12 mins ride from Peterborough Centre. If you have enough gas, take a ride out. Chet is better. Ethan called me last month. Esther.
An interesting comment about gas as it was being rationed during the last part of the War.
The following are pictures from Cornelia's father's book on the Dublin School. Compare these pictures with the descriptions of the area from the above alumnae. Most pictures have their own descriptions. The trail map really helps to best describe this area.
The "take-off" provides a thrilling and beautiful moment on this new 20 meter jump at the Dublin School, Dublin, NH. Hundreds of acres are devoted to the sport providing cross-country, down-mountain, and twin slalom racing trails as well as an open slope serviced by a rope tow.
Dublin School, South Slope. Located in rural southern NH, Dublin School has about 95 students in grades 9 through 12. The South Slope was cleared and is maintained by students and faculty of the coed school, founded in 1935.
Dubliner Tow, 1250' long, with 20 acre open slope, trail, jump, on Harrisville Road, 1/2 mile from Dublin Village.
One of the sportiest layouts in the Monadnock Region of SW NH, just north of the Massachusetts border and only 60 to 80 miles from Boston, is the Dublin School tow slope. Located on the east side of Beech Hill at an altitude of 1600 feet, the terrain runs up to 30 degrees in pitch. The Dubliner tow is a connecting one of 1250' and serves 20 acres of open slopes for all classes.


One way to justify gambling in Las Vegas was no matter how much you won or lost, you were still drinking for free. But according to the LA Times, two major casino companies are testing methods that may cut back on the comped alcoholic beverages.
Both Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts have been trying out similar systems on some of their bar-top video poker units. In the past, bartenders offered people playing these machines free drinks on their own accord. But with the new systems, the video poker machines themselves tip off bartenders as to when drinks should be comped based on patrons' level of play. For Caesars, who has added its system to sports bars at all of its Las Vegas Strip properties as well as its other Nevada resorts, the back of the machine changes from a red light to a green light whenever a gambler has reached a drink-worthy level of wagering. With MGM Resorts, which is testing out its system at one bar each at the MGM Grand and Mirage, players have to wait for the machine to print out a free drink voucher before they can get their next tipple.
Still, as casinos become increasingly stingy with comps, players have reason to be worried that Vegas might turn free drinks into a thing of the past. It used to be a pit boss had the authority to comp anyone they wanted a steak dinner and a bed to sleep in; now low rollers have to swipe their card at a kiosk to see if they're eligible for a free Pepsi. With casinos continuing to pop up all in lots of other places across the US, screwing with Vegas's free drink policy could be the rum and coke that breaks the camel's back.

WNBA Today, 07/05/2011: When is 14th better than 13th?
Jul5 by richardbcohen
Due to the intervention of real life – and the basic fact that there's been one WNBA game in the last three days – today's update will be brief. It will also contain mini-previews of tonight's games, framed as questions, just in case anyone fancies looking out for the same things I think might be interesting about the upcoming games. Normal column service will be resumed tomorrow.
And because I'm feeling in a backwards mood today, we're going to begin with:
New York today waived rookie Jessica Breland, the #13 overall pick, and picked up Felicia Chester, the #14 pick selected right behind her. No, I don't get it either. Breland has actually looked reasonably promising in her brief appearances for the Liberty, including an early game against Atlanta where she made two key shots to help them win in overtime. Head coach and GM John Whisenant actively pursued Breland on draft day, giving up next year's second round pick to move up from 22 to 13 so he could take her. He will have known all about her health issues from college, so any problems with stamina shouldn't have come as a surprise (and it's not like they need her to play big minutes right now anyway). I don't know why he quit on her so quickly.
I watched Chester practice and play with the Dream in training camp in Manchester, and came away thoroughly unimpressed. She got beat out by Sandora Irvin – a WNBA bust who'll likely be cut in a few weeks if Yelena Leuchanka shows up – and Brittainey Raven – who's already been cut. And those were the right choices. She plays the same position and is essentially the same size as Breland, and while she might carry a little more bulk that doesn't seem like enough to make this switch. Who knows, maybe Chester will be a much better fit in Whiz's system, but it seems unlikely. Weird move.
I wouldn't be surprised to see someone give Breland another chance pretty quickly, or even just claim her off waivers. Couldn't she potentially be more useful to Seattle than Krystal Thomas, or Phoenix than Olayinka Sanni? We will see.
Swin Cash and Tina Charles were named the Players of the Week, a day late because apparently no one works at the WNBA offices on holiday Mondays. It was a strange week because so few games were played – Lindsay Whalen was a leading contender despite playing just one game, a blowout against Tulsa that was over by halftime. However, Charles was an easy pick with her two excellent performances beating out several players who played well but only had the chance to do it once. The West was more complicated but Cash was a solid choice, again helped by the simple fact that she got to impress twice. Seattle will need her to continue stepping up in Lauren Jackson's absence.
Today's Games:
Seattle @ Indiana, 7pm ET
How will Indiana cope in their first game without Briann January? Will it be Bobbitt or Phillips who gets most of the minutes? Will either of them be on the floor in crunch time, or will Lin Dunn fall back on Katie Douglas as a pseudo-point again?
How low can a score be when you pit the WNBA's two slowest-paced teams against each other? (Vegas had the over/under at 145, but it's been coming down ever since that was posted)
Without Lauren Jackson, does Ashley Robinson get extra minutes to try to deal with Jessica Davenport, who's got at least four inches on either of Seattle's starting posts? Or can the sneakiness and physicality of Little and Willingham deal with her anyway?
If the Storm win on the road in Indy, will their doubters finally start to admit that they're still pretty good even without LJ?
Washington @ Chicago, 8pm ET
Who's actually going to suit up for the Mystics? (both Crystal Langhorne and Alana Beard are with the team for what is the first of a five-game road trip, by the way)
If Langhorne's out again, how effective can Victoria Dunlap be against a team with a hell of a lot more size inside than she faced in her impressive debut start against Seattle on Sunday?
After losing five of their last six, can Chicago stop the slide now that they're facing an eminently beatable team, or is their season heading off a cliff?
Did that leg injury Sylvia Fowles suffered in the Sky's last game cause any lingering distress, even though she returned for the fourth quarter?
Will Cathrine Kraayeveld or Michelle Snow take a single shot from inside 15 feet all night?
Will one of the league's best teams this season at both scoring and preventing second-chance points (Washington) take advantage of a team that's been terrible in that category at both ends (Chicago)?
Will anyone pay any attention to this game when it's sandwiched by more glamorous and interesting matchups?
Los Angeles @ Phoenix, 9pm ET (live on ESPN2)
Will there be more points in the first-half of this one than the entire Indiana-Seattle matchup?
How bizarre is it that Phoenix are going into a game as the significantly better rebounding squad?
Will Temeka Johnson make her return from her ankle sprain, and will it make any difference?
How many times will we wonder "what the hell is [insert head coach here] doing?" during this game?
Will Diana Taurasi pick up her fourth technical of the season (remember, numbers 7, 9, 11 etc. are one-game suspensions)?
How drunk would I be if I took a shot every time they mentioned Candace Parker on the ESPN2 broadcast?
Just how dumb can Jen Gillom make herself look on live TV in a timeout huddle this week?

Luuuc says:
Pretty sure she said lemonade at one point instead of eliminate, but overall I don't think her reputation suffered too much in that game.

UB Summer Math Program aims to bridge gender gap
By CHARLES ANZALONE
"It is at the middle school level that female students turn their attention away from mathematics. This gender gap and gender differences in mathematic attitude and skills continue to grow during high school. "
Ji-Won Son, associate professor and director
Summer Math Program
The girls are laughing, smiling, jockeying for position along a line of masking tape on the floor, gently bumping up against the three teachers in their classroom at Enterprise Charter School in downtown Buffalo.
It's all part of the Human Number Line, a featured activity in UB's Summer Math Program. The middle school-aged girls — each wearing a signature blue Summer Math Program T-shirt and personalized lanyard — place themselves along the line of tape in the proper order of decimals and fractions.
It's clear they're having a ball. What is also clear: This is not their parents' summer math class.
It is, however, summer math according to Ji-Won Son. Son — the Graduate School of Education faculty member and nationally respected expert in math education whose command of current math education research matches her ability to connect with her young students — presented her second Summer Math Program Aug. 12-16.
Once again, the mission was ambitious: Make math for girls "exciting, beautiful and useful," as Son has promised. Anyone fortunate enough to be around to watch the program in action on its Wednesday Hump Day would agree: The Graduate School of Education's Summer Math Program lives up to the hype.
"We really strive to make sure the girls are not sedative, that they're not just working on worksheets and doing algorithms or a process to get to an answer," said Jeri Diletti, assistant program director of the Summer Math Program who teaches math at Akron High School, and is an adjunct math professor in the GSE.
"We really want the girls up and moving, and really even just getting their bodies involved in the activities. We want them having fun, laughing, working with other girls. A lot of times the girls don't know each other. They're not all necessarily coming from the same location, so we're also building relationships with them and between the girls as well."
Bridging the gender gap
There is sound pedagogy behind the Summer Math Program, and a strong intention to fulfill a cultural and gender deficiency. It's specifically aimed at girls entering grades five to eight looking to improve their math skills. This is when girls have traditionally lost ground to their male counterparts, Son explained.
"From all distances, education looks pretty gender-equal," said Son, associate professor of mathematics education in the Department of Learning and Instruction, who started the program in 2017.
"But if you look closely, you can see boys and girls are treated differently from a very young age in terms of expectations that are directed at them. Research shows that there is no gender gap at kindergarten when they just started their school experiences, but some gender gap and gender differences in mathematic attitude and skill appear during elementary.
"And it is at the middle school level that female students turn their attention away from mathematics. This gender gap and gender differences in mathematic attitude and skills continue to grow during high school."
Son said studies show that the way female students and male students learn mathematics is different. "Female students do better when they are collaborating and working together," she said. "In contrast, male students are more competitive, and they do better by doing independent work. So our program emphasizes more collaborations and project-based learning, and group activity."
Clearly, the Summer Math Program had a mission to make math fun, active and engaging, as well as academically useful for the 47 girls enrolled this year. And clearly, based on the activities in these mid-week sessions, it was math delivered as promised.
Solving problems by leaving their seats
The Human Number Line assigns a fraction or decimal to each of the five girls in a class run by Diletti. The students and teachers then try to arrange themselves in the proper order, based on their ability to convert and compare the numbers.
That soon led to the scene described above, with the girls directing each other or their instructors with accompanying fractions in appropriate order, and then "schooching" each in the appropriate place on the Human Number Line.
Anirhutha Senthil Kumar, with the assigned fraction 2/7, correctly took her place in the spot below Jessica Park, who had 7/21.
"How did you know you were bigger than Ani?" Diletti asked Park.
Because 7/21 is equal to one-third," said Park, who will be entering fifth grade at Transit Middle School in East Amherst.
"Awesome," said Diletti. "I'm going to write that down."
"What did you do, Ani?" Diletti asked Kumar, also about to enter fifth grade at Transit Middle.
"Common denominator," Kumar answered quickly. She needed to convert her 2/7 fraction to one with 21 as denominator.
"I multiplied both of the numbers by three, which equals 6/21," she said.
"So 6/21 is less than 7/21," Diletti told the class, and that correctly determined where the girls would stand in the Human Number Line.
Math tied to the real world
Down the hallway is Window Shopping, this time for seventh-graders. It's an activity led by Christina McCarthy, a graduate student in GSE's adolescent mathematics program. Students were given paper money and then visited displays with various items — Disney World for a week, a jet ski, a puppy and a kitten — all with prices and a discount percentage. They needed to figure out the discounted price before they could spend their money.
"We had to figure out the discounts and make sure we had enough money to pay for the items," said Paige Kerr, who will be going into seventh grade at Heim Middle School in the Williamsville School District. "I bought a jet ski, a safari trip and a pool."
The activity was vintage UB Summer Math: hands-on, fun and clearly tied to the real world.
"Math is everywhere," Son said. "They do not realize where they use mathematics."
Son made it clear the Summer Math Program benefits the teachers as well as students. There is extensive teacher planning and preparation, including test runs on their Summer Math Program lessons with each other before the camp begins.
"Our team of teachers has worked very hard to provide high-quality, creative and engaging activities," she said. "Students work through real-world problems, games and activities to explore mathematics.
"These methods bring life to the mathematics and help reveal the beauty and excitement of mathematics to kids. How do I know? I've witnessed it all week: the excitement in our students' voices, the motivation to try solve math problems using various methods, and the hard work spent working on their final projects."
It's mostly about the fun
As for the girls, they can't say enough good things about their camp, both on and off camera
In the end, for the girls, it's mostly about the fun.
"Teachers are kind and they make a lot of jokes, and they all make us laugh," said Kumar. "I thought this would be like school. But it's like home and like Mom and Dad teaching."
Park unabashedly brightened up when asked why she liked math.
"Because it requires you to think outside the box," she said. "Kind of think of different ways about how to solve problems and how it helps us."
Lauren Truman, who will enter sixth grade this fall at Amherst Middle School, said the program is "helping me understand you can use math in the real world."
"If I wanted to be a baker, I could use 2/3 cup of flour, or 4/5 cup of butter, and then I could make the right cake, so it can come out right."

Do not call this function directly: call layout instead. This function is called by layout when there is actually work to be done by this render object during layout. The layout constraints provided by your parent are available via the constraints getter.
If sizedByParent is true, then this function should not actually change the dimensions of this render object. Instead, that work should be done by performResize. If sizedByParent is false, then this function should both change the dimensions of this render object and instruct its children to layout.
In implementing this function, you must call layout on each of your children, passing true for parentUsesSize if your layout information is dependent on your child's layout information. Passing true for parentUsesSize ensures that this render object will undergo layout if the child undergoes layout. Otherwise, the child can change its layout information without informing this render object.

On this date in 2011, Whitey Bulger, the former head of Boston's Winter Hill gang, was captured after sixteen years as a fugitive. For twelve of Bulger's years on the run, he was featured on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. Bulger had been indicted on multiple counts of racketeering. The racketeering charges included complicity in nineteen murders.
Bulger, who had worked as an FBI informant since the 1970s, was tipped off to the indictments by his FBI handler, Special Agent John Connolly. Bulger and longtime girlfriend Catherine Greig skipped town and disappeared. The last credible sighting of the couple was in London in 2002.
In 2011, the FBI decided to change its tactics in locating the fugitive mobster. Instead of focusing their efforts on Bulger, they would focus on Greig, in hopes that they might hear from someone who had spotted her. A public service announcement was recorded and aired during daytime television programs. The strategy paid off rather quickly. A woman who had lived in Santa Monica recognized Greig and Bulger as former neighbors. According to the Boston Globe, the tipster was Anna Bjorn, an Icelandic model and actress who was Miss Iceland 1974. Bjorn was reportedly paid a $2 million reward for the tip.
Agents found Bulger at home when they arrived. They used a ruse to lure him from his apartment and placed him under arrest. They then entered the apartment and placed Greig under arrest for harboring a fugitive.
Bulger and Greig were returned to Boston for trial in federal court. Bulger was convicted on multiple counts of racketeering, including complicity in eleven murders. He received two life sentences plus five years. He was murdered in federal prison in 2018. Greig pleaded guilty to harboring a fugitive and identity fraud and was sentenced to eight years. In April 2016, she was sentenced to an additional 21 months for contempt.

WILLIAMSTOWN, MA -- The Williams College Ephs (13-10-1, 9-8-1 NESCAC) tied the Hamilton College Continentals (15-6-3, 9-6-3 NESCAC) 0-0 this afternoon in the Lansing Chapman Rink. Senior goaltender Stephen Morrissey stopped all 23 shots faced to keep his team in the game.
When these two teams faced off in December, Hamilton was able to come away with a closely contested 3-2 victory.
In net for the Ephs this afternoon was Morrissey, who came into the contest with a .916 save percentage. In between the pipes for Hamilton was senior Evan Buitenhuis, who came into today's match up with an impressive save percentage of .952.
"We competed in all three zones," stated Williams head coach Mike Monti. "It was especially great to see Stephen Morrissey get a shut out today."
Yesterday the Continentals faced Middlebury on the road, and came away with a 1-0 victory. The Ephs faced Amherst at home last night, and came away with a 6-5 win. Williams came into today's contest riding a three game win streak, and the Continentals, while on a two game win streak coming into today, have not lost a game since late January.
The first period was scoreless, however at 19:59, Williams junior Roberto Cellini was called to the box for slashing, ensuring that the Continentals would start off the second period with momentum on their side. Shots after the first 20 minutes were 9-4 for the Ephs.
At :36 seconds into the second period, senior Brandon Willett took his second penalty of the game, this minor for hooking, allowing four on four play to ensue.
At 2:35, Continental sophomore Blayne Oliver was called to the box for tripping, giving the Ephs a man advantage opportunity. The Ephs had one more power play chance in the period, starting at 16:07, when junior Ian Nichols was called to the box for charging.
After two periods, shots were 18-13 for the Ephs.
The Continentals were offensively threatening for much of the third period, however this prowess was equally countered by the fortitude of the Eph defensive unit, not allowing any of the several Hamilton opportunities to be ultimately successful.
After 60 minutes of play, the score remained 0-0, and so five minutes of overtime followed.
Hamilton took a timeout with 2:25 remaining in overtime play. Then, with just :22 seconds remaining in the match, the Ephs were given a power play opportunity, as Brandon Willett was called to the box for hooking. The Ephs subsequently called a timeout to try to engineer a game-winning play with the time remaining, however the game ended with a score of 0-0.
Shot count for the game came to 28-23 for Williams.
"Short of scoring today, we played a complete game, which the staff was really happy with," noted Monti. "Hamilton was a great test heading into playoffs."
This was the last game of the regular season for both teams. NESCAC playoff matchups, dates, and times will be announced shortly.


We are saddened to announce the death of Almaz Aldashev, a leading scientist in the world of pulmonary vascular research.
Almaz was born and much of spent his life in Kyrgyzstan where he devoted his academic life to pulmonary disease. He is best known to us for his work in pulmonary hypertension but he had many other interests, both within and outside of science. While Kyrgyzstan was part of the Soviet Union his travels were confined to Russia and Central Asia, but with the independence of Kyrgyzstan in 1991 he was able to reach out more freely to western scientists. He developed a network of collaborators in Europe and America and linked them to physicians and scientists within the newly independent Central Asian states. A man of integrity and politically astute, it was natural that he should rise to high office in his country's leading science community.
He was steeped in the history of Central Asia and a warm and engaging guide to Kyrgyzstan, now the Kyrgyz Republic. He was proud of his country and was happy and at home travelling the highlands, meeting local villagers and sharing stories and songs. His lost will be felt at home and abroad.
