Globe rallies newspapers to protect free press from Trump attacks

BOSTON (AP) — A Boston newspaper is proposing a coordinated editorial response from publications across the U.S. to President Donald Trump's frequent attacks on the news media.
''We are not the enemy of the people,'' said Marjorie Pritchard, deputy managing editor for the editorial page of The Boston Globe, referring to a characterization of journalists that Trump has used in the past. The president, who contends he has largely been covered unfairly by the press, also employs the term ''fake news'' often when describing the media.
The Globe has reached out to editorial boards nationwide to write and publish editorials on Aug. 16 denouncing what the newspaper called a ''dirty war against the free press.''
As of Friday, Pritchard said about 70 outlets had committed to editorials so far, with the list expected to grow. The publications ranged from large metropolitan dailies, such as the Houston Chronicle, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Miami Herald and Denver Post, to small weekly papers with circulations as low as 4,000.
The newspaper's request was being promoted by industry groups such as the American Society of News Editors and regional groups like the New England Newspaper and Press Association. It suggested editorial boards take a common stand against Trump's words regardless of their politics, or whether they generally editorialized in support of or in opposition to the president's policies.
''Our words will differ. But at least we can agree that such attacks are alarming,'' the appeal said, acknowledging that newspapers were likely to take different approaches.
Pritchard, who oversees the Globe's editorial page, said the decision to seek the coordinated response from newspapers was reached after Trump appeared to step up his rhetoric in recent weeks.
At an Aug. 2 political rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Trump told his audience that the media was ''fake, fake disgusting news.''
''What ever happened to the free press? What ever happened to honest reporting?'' the president asked, pointing to journalists covering the event. ''They don't report it. They only make up stories.''
Pritchard said she hoped the editorials would make an impression on Americans.
''I hope it would educate readers to realize that an attack on the First Amendment is unacceptable,'' she said. ''We are a free and independent press, it is one of the most sacred principles enshrined in the Constitution.''
Our jobs have become all-consuming, with employees answering e-mails around the clock and companies trying to squeeze higher profits out of fewer people. No wonder we're exhausted.

The Swedish capital has rebuffed the tech giant's scheme to build a new Apple Store in the Kungsträdgården, the city's central square.
Before readers join the chorus of disgust at Apple's unmitigated gall, you should know something else about the chosen site. It's already occupied—by a TGI Fridays. The kitschy U.S. fast-casual chain might seem like unlikely tenant for such a beloved historic plaza in a European capital, but was allowed there because local zoning permits restaurants or cafés that serve park-goers.
You might assume locals would thus be less bothered about what came afterwards. The sheer force of resistance—a public consultation received not a single petition in Apple's favor—shows that there's something more at work here than a simple debate over shopping space. Stockholm's resistance is powered, it seems, by widespread concern about corporations taking over public spaces.
To boost the public-meeting spot image, the retail of goods comes with a side order of educational uplift in the form of courses and workshops on, say, iPhone photography or movie-making for kids. These aren't just mammoth gadget emporia, the rhetoric goes, they're community spaces that offer not just goods but also practical courses and workshops (mainly about using Apple products) and different forms of art (mainly created with Apple products). Think of them as a modern version of the Athenian Agora—just one where, instead of pontificating philosophers, you get someone to show you how to take a better selfie.
Apple's ability to plausibly present their stores as new town squares rests on a tacit assumption that existing town squares are gone or broken.
These sites don't stop at posing as a form of town square, however. They often attempt to insert themselves into real town squares. Thus Apple's plan to launch a major "flagship" store in Melbourne, Australia, involves remodeling the city's pivotal Federation Square. The store would take over the site of an Aboriginal cultural center (slated to be relocated nearby) and demolish a landmark building (albeit one whose life may be saved by a push to give it heritage status).
Meanwhile in Washington, D.C., an Apple retail site is set to open in the stunning Beaux-Arts husk of the city's former Carnegie Library, transforming a public if long under-used utility into an electronics megastore. Thus places which were once about feeding people's minds and helping them to expand their cultural breadth are now converted for the sale of consumer electronics, just with a dash of mind-feeding and breadth-expanding added on as a marketing tool—a form of culture-washing.
Thus under an apparently upbeat, pro-Apple attitude is a strain of bleak pessimism. It leads to tortured arguments like the one in this CityLab piece that states that an Apple store is like an art gallery because people can buy equipment to make art there, which is like saying going to Home Depot is just like attending art school, because paint in various forms is present in both.
Perhaps a sleek flagship Apple Store is a more pleasant place to spend an afternoon than, say, your average 1990s Radio Shack. But even a nicely laid-out retail space is a singularly un-ambitious definition of what a proper modern agora can and should be. Stockholm was right to reject Apple taking over a corner of its beloved central park, and to contest the idea that a private company can be allowed to dominate public space; the corporate town square is a latter-day version of It's a Wonderful Life's Pottersville, just one that's been tastefully renovated to resemble utopia.

Over 1,600 first-year UGA students in the 2014 incoming class changed their majors at least once, 800 students twice, and 250 students three times. This translates to nearly 3,000 students in courses they may not have needed! The University of Georgia has created the Exploratory Center to work closely with all kinds of exploring and undecided students – everyone from students who are not 100% sure about their major; students who don't have a clue about the 130 majors, 87 minors and 49 certificate programs that are available to them; and those students who simply need help navigating UGA's vast academic environment. We want you to know that it's okay to be undecided and that you are not alone! Our goal is to create an environment that allows students to explore their academic options while discovering their interests, passions, goals and values, all while working towards degree completion.
Academic advisors in the Exploratory Center are specially trained to help students identify a major that aligns with their interests and skills. Advisors understand that this requires a series of meetings each semester. During these meetings, Explore advisors help students understand the anatomy of an undergraduate degree, encourage students to examine their values, interests and goals to promote self-authorship, as well as identify and connect students to resources for additional information and support. Nearly every appointment ends with assignments with learning goals and objectives to guide students through the major declaration process.
• When they are considering majors, minors, and certificate programs.
• When they are experiencing successes or failures in their current semester.
• When it is time to register for next semester's classes.
• When they simply want to talk with someone on campus.
UGA students use SAGE to make appointments with advisors. Students who have recently changed their major to undecided and have not been assigned an advisor can complete an online referral form. Students can also visit the Exploratory Center's Walk-In and Explore Hours.

Myth #1 - "I'll just figure it out eventually." Just waiting and hoping will not necessarily help you explore. You will need to do some work and self-reflection to find your path. Choosing to just let it happen eventually may mean needing to stay in school for an extra semester or two – which can cost more financially and delay graduation.
Myth #2 - "Once I've chosen a major, I won't be able to change." Some majors are easier to change than others due to prerequisites and course requirements; however, no student should continue in a major that isn't the right fit. This myth highlights the importance of exploring earlier in your academic career so that when you do choose a major, you're confident that it's the right choice for you.
Myth #3 - "When I choose a major, I'll have chosen a career for my entire life." It is important to major in an area of study, a subject that you enjoy, not necessarily a career choice. That major may lead to a specific career, but it may not. It is important to know that most people today change jobs and even career paths several times throughout their lives. The Exploratory Center often works in tandem with the Career Center to connect students to opportunities such as internships, résumé writing workshops, and career fairs that can often lead to job opportunities. There is more to getting a job than choosing a major!
Majors: UGA's majors consist of a concentration of courses grouped around one theme area. Majors' requirements usually range from 22 to 38 hours.
Double Major: UGA's double major allows students to complete two Bachelor's degrees in the same college, such as a BS in Biology and a BS in Psychology. Dual Degree: UGA's dual degree allows students to complete two Bachelor's degrees of different types, for example, a BS in Psychology and a BBA degree in Marketing. Requirements for both majors as well as both colleges have to be completed.
Areas of Emphasis: Some majors offer the student the opportunity to specialize in a particular area. For example, Biology majors can choose an emphasis in Neuroscience.
Minors: A minor is a less extensive concentration in an academic field. Students use minors to develop a skill, interest, or talent. Minors' requirements usually range from 15-18 hours.
Certificate: These programs can pull courses together from a variety of disciplines to form a coherent theme or offer classes that all focus on a clear academic or technical field.
Call the Career Center at 706-542-3375 to make an appointment or schedule the appointment online via Handshake.
Type Focus - Personality assessment that supports students with self-discovery and aids them in identifying the best fit in regards to a career.
Strong Interest Inventory ($30) – Career Assessment intended to provide students with insights into their interests and possible career options. Please contact the Career Center to arrange testing.
UGA's Bulletin - The Bulletin highlights the requirements for all majors, minors and certificate programs offered at UGA. It also includes historical syllabi for courses taught at the University. In addition, it allows you to compare up to four different majors' requirements.
DegreeWorks - Online degree audit system used by UGA to record a student's progress in satisfying degree requirements. Built into the system is a "What if" option that allows students to see how courses they've already completed will fit into the requirements of any major they are considering. This allows students to understand the remaining requirements of any majors offered on campus.
ExploreHealthCareers.Org - This website is useful for any student who is interested in a health professions career but isn't sure which one.
Look at the major checklist on the Career Center's website. Cross out any major you know you are not interested in. Highlight any major you are interested in.
What college is the major housed in?
What are the college requirements for that college?
Are any preferred course identified for the core? Have you taken any of those preferred courses?
Is it a high-demand major? Will you have to apply to the major?

Choose three possible professions you think you might be interested in and look them up in the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Write a brief reflection for each profession based on what you learn from the handbook. Make sure to look at the following tabs: What They Do, How to Become One, Pay, Job Outlook, and Similar Occupations.
How much education is required? Will you have to continue to go to school after graduation from UGA?
What are the job duties and responsibilities of that profession? Can you imagine yourself in that role from day to day? Which job duties would you enjoy? Which would you not enjoy?
Consider the work environment. How well would you fit into that environment? Is the job indoors or outdoors? Would you work alone or as part of a team? Would you work autonomously or would you not have much independence?
Is the pay commensurate with the lifestyle you hope to achieve?
What is the job outlook? Is the need for that profession projected to grow or decline? Is the outlook for Georgia different than for the nation?

Q: Is this post really an answer? I flagged this post as "Not an answer" since, well, it does not answer the question but is merely commenting on the merits (or lack thereof) of the framework the poster of the question is using. In my opinion, this post should be a comment and not an answer.
Yet the flag was declined by a moderator. I guess it was bound to happen some time, but I can't really see why in this case. What did I do wrong - except, perhaps, for not offering a better explanation using the "Other" flag?

A: I was the one who declined the flag.
In retrospect, it was a mistake on my part (I misinterpreted the answer in relation to the question), and the answer has been deleted.
I apologize for the impact on your flag weight that this has had.

""I'd say, 'Trane, man, why are you doing that, beating on your chest and howling in the microphone?'. He'd say, 'Man, I can't find anything else to play on the horn.' He exhausted the saxophone. He couldn't find nothing else to play… he ran out of horn"

"I've also studied deeply in the philosophies and the religions but cheerfulness kept breaking through"
"Truth is indestructible. It seems history shows (and it's the same way today) that the innovator is more often than not met with some degree of condemnation; usually according to the degree of departure from the prevailing modes of expression or what have you. Change is always hard to accept…. Quite often they are the rejects, outcasts, sub-citizens, etc. of the very societies to which they bring so mush sustenance… Whatever the case, whether accepted or rejected, rich or poor, they are forever guided by that great and eternal constant – the creative urge. Let us cherish it and give all praise to God."
"… but it was the saxophone soloing that challenged credulity, it's length and perhaps its unwillingness to tell a traditional story… If there's one thing the facile critic needs to do his job, it is some verbal personality from the bandstand, some words to transcribe into the review – anything to make a thoroughly musical endeavor more literary or conversational. Coltrane would not provide it."
"They get too close to the horn with the mikes and don't give the sound time to travel as they should. Consequently, they don't get enough of the real timbre and they miss the whole body of the sound. They get the inside of it but not the outside as well."
"Ordinarily, if an average man comes face to face with the nagual the shock would be so great that he would die. The goal of a warrior's training is not to teach him to hex or to charm, but to prepare his tonal not to crap out.
You call is explaining. I call it a sterile and boring insistence of the tonal to have everything under it's control. Whenever it doesn't succeed, there is a moment of bafflement and then the tonal opens itself to death. What a prick! It would rather kill itself than relinquish control. And yet there is very little we can do to change that condition."
"Whenever you are in the world of the tonal, you should be an impeccable tonal; no time for irrational crap. But whenever you are in the world of the nagual, you should also be impeccable; no time for rational crap. For the warrior intent is the gate in between. It closes completely behind him when he goes either way"
"…one should never turn to one's left when facing the nagual."
"A warrior doesn't ever leave the island of the tonal. He uses it."
"He said that it was simpler and more effective just to act, without seeking explanations, and that by talking about my experience and by thinking about it I was dissipating it"
"The nagual is not experience or intuition or consciousness. Those terms and everything else you may care to say are only items on the island of the tonal.
One can say that the nagual accounts for creativity. The nagual is the only part of us that can create."
"Seeing is like that. Statements are made with great certainty, and one doesn't know how it happened"
"The nagual is the part of us which we do not deal with at all.
At the time of birth, and for a while after, we are all nagual. We sense, then that in order to function we need a counterpart to what we have. The tonal is missing and that gives us, from the very beginning, a feeling of incompleteness. Then the tonal starts to develop and it becomes utterly important to our functioning, so important that it opaques the shine of the nagual, it overwhelms it. From the moment we become all tonal we do nothing else but to increment that old feeling of incompleteness which accompanies us from the moment of our birth and whichs tells us constantly that there is another part to give us completeness".
"A guardian is broad-minded and understanding. A guard, on the other hand, is a vigilante, narrow-minded and most of the time despotic."
"The secret of a warrior is that he believes without believing… A warrior, whenever he has to involve himself with believing, does it as a choice, as an expression of his innermost predilection. A warrior doesn't believe, a warrior has to believe.
"A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.
a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything as either a blessing or a curse"
"We are perceivers. We are an awareness; we are not objects; we have no solidity. We are boundless. The world of objects and solidity is a way of making our passage on earth convenient. It is only a description that was created to help us. We, or rather our reason, forget that the description is only a description and thus we entrap the totality of ourselves in a vicious circle from which we rarely emerge in our lifetime.
So, in essence, the world that your reason wants to sustain is the world created by a description and its dogmatic and inviolable rules, which the reason learns to accept and defend.
from now on you should let yourself perceive whether the description is upheld by your reason or by your will."
"Technology is anything that was invented after you were born"
Alan Kay
"The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead."
"It's the little things. There's nothing bigger is there?"
(from the movie "Vanilla Sky")
"Fortunately, it is not reason which puts an ally together. It is the body. You have perceived ally in many degrees and on many occasions. Each of those perceptions was stored in your body. The sum of those pieces is the ally.
Our reason is petty and it is always at odds with our body. This, of course, is only a way of talking, bu the triumph of a man of knowledge is that he has joined the two together."
"The will develops in a warrior in spite of every opposition of the reason.
The body must be perfection before the will is a functioning unit"
"Once it has learned to dream the double, the self arrives at this weird crossroad and a moment comes when one realizes that it is the double who dreams the self.
"To die with elation is a crappy way of dying… A warrior dies the hard way. His death must struggle to take him. A warrior does not give himself to it."
"My worrying, for instance, was a scene in which I looked at myself while I had the sensation of being boxed in. I call that worrying, It has happened to me a number of times after that first time.
"You see all of us go through the same doubts. We are afraid of being mad; unfortunately for us, of course, all of us are already mad."
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born a reasonable being. We make ourselves into one or the other."
"For my teachers, unfortunately, certain things were, as they are for you, only tales of power"
"You're in a terrible spot. It's too late for you to retreat but too soon to act. All you can do is witness. You're in the miserable position of an infant who cannot return to the mother's womb, but neither can he run around and act. All an infant can do is witness and listen to the stupendous tales of action being told to him. You are at that precise point now. You cannot go back to the womb of your old world, but you cannot act with power either. For you there is only witnessing acts of power and listening to tales of power."
"If a warrior needs solace he simply chooses anyone and expresses to that person every detail of his turmoil. After all, the warrior is not seeking to be understood or helped; by talking he's merely relieving himself of his pressure."
"… when confronted with unusual life situations… A warrior acts as if nothing had ever happened, because he doesn't believe in anything, yet he accepts everything at its face value."
"The world doesn't yield to us directly, the description of the world stands in between. So, properly speaking, we are always one step removed and our experiences of the world is always a recollection of the experience. We are perennially recollecting the instant that has just happened, just passed. Re recollect, recollect, recollect."
"You are like you are, because you tell yourself that you are that way."
You see, a warrior considers himself already dead, so there is nothing for him to lose. The worst has already happened to him, therefore he's clear and calm
Knowledge for a warrior is something that comes at once, engulfs him, and passes on"
"That's the flaw with words. They always force us to feel enlightened, but when we turn around to face the world they always fail us and we end up facing the world as we always have, without enlightenment. For this reason, a sorcerer seeks to act rather than to talk and to this effect he gets a new description of the world – a new description where talking is not that important, and where new acts have new reflections"
"Your thoughts and your actions are fixed forever in their terms. That is slavery. I, on the other hand, brought you freedom. Freedom is expensive, but the price is not impossible. So, fear your captors, your masters. Don't waste your time and your power fearing me."
"Things are only real after one has learned to agree on their realness. What took place this evening, for instance, cannot possibly be real to you, because no one could agree with you about it. 'Do you mean that you didn't see what happened?'. Of course I did. But I don't count. I am the one who's lying to you, remember?"
"Everything we do, everything we are, rests on our personal power. If we have enough of it, one word uttered to us might be sufficient to change the course of our lives. But if we don't have enough personal power, the most magnificent piece of wisdom can be revealed to us and that revelation won't make a damn bit of difference"
"The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to himself. Perhaps you are chasing rainbows. You're after the self-confidence of the average man, when you should be after the humbleness of a warrior. The difference between the two is remarkable. Self Confidence entails knowing something for sure; humbleness entails being impeccable in one's actions and feelings."
"Your flaw is o seek convenient explanations, explanations that fir you and your world…The explanation is not what you would call an explanation; nevertheless, it makes the world and its mysteries, if not clear, at least less awesome. That should be the essence of an explanation, but that is not what you seek. You're after the reflection of your ideas"
"…most warriors only perform tricks. The way of the warrior is filled with soul and feeling"
(Miyamoto Musashi translated by Stephen F. Kaufman from "The Martial Artist's Book of Five Rings")
"You would also do well to remember that what I say and how you perceive what I say can be completely different depending upon your awareness of yourself and the level of skill you have attained"
"Always return your weapon along the same path it traveled out on. In this way you can use it again without having to relocate and rethink our attitude".
"Imitation is the surest form of flattery and failure. I am not interested with your talk about my ideas. I am more interested in your applying them to your life. If you do not, then you are essentially not in accord with your own mind."
"There are 'hidden' meanings – not to be confused with non-understandable things – that must be thought through constantly until you reach an understanding.
"… I found that a man can rise from the normal to a higher level of consciousness by a continuous biological process, as regular as any other activity of the body, and that at no stage is it necessary or even desirable for him either to neglect his flesh or to deny a place to the human feelings in his heart. A higher state of consciousness, able to liberate itself from the thraldom of senses, appears to be incompatible, unless we take the biological factors into account, with a physical existence in which passions and desires and the animal needs of the body, however restricted, exist side by side. But I can say conidently that a reasonable measure of control over appetites, coupled with some knowledge of the mighty mechanism and a befitting consitution proved a surer ans safer way to spiritual unfoldment than any amount of self-mortification or abnormal religious fervour can do"
(Gopi Krishna from "Kundalini – The Evolutionary Energy in Man")
"But with the income halved, the cost of living at least fourfold, and the unavoidable demand for a more nutritious and hence more costly diet for me with absolutely no other source of income and no possibility of one, placed me in an indescribable predicament at a time when I was mentally in a precarious condition"
"The secluded corner of a busy office room, throbbing with noiseless activity and tense with subdued excitement was not a place where a man now constantly preoccupied with the unseen, could pass several hours at a stretch always at the call of others, without running the risk of serious injury to his mental health."
"….relinquishing forever the thought of roaming the earth in the traditional way to effect the regeneration of mankind, a fantasy in my case born from the desire for power, the yearning for mental conquest, which often accompanies the activity of Kundalini in the intellectual center, causing a slightly intoxicated condition of the brain too subtle to be noticed by the subject himself or by his uniformed companions, however erudite and intelligent they may be."
The state of mind of the photographer creating is a blank. I might add that this condition exists only at special times, namely when looking for pictures. (Something keeps him from falling off curbs, down open manholes, into bumpers of skidding trucks while in this condition but goes off duty at other times.) . . . This is a very special kind of blank. A very active state of mind really, it is a very receptive state. . ."
(Minor White)
"I believe that like Alice Through the Looking Glass, with the camera one comes so close to the real that one goes beyond it and into the reality of he dream"
"…insight, vision, moments of revelation. During those rare moments something overtakes the man and he becomes the tool of a greater Force; the servant of, willing or unwilling depending on his degree of awakeness. The photograph, then, is a message more than a mirror, and the mans a messenger who happens to be a photographer."
"I make but a simple statement of fact when I say that for years I was like on bound hand and foot to a log racing madly on a torrent, saved miraculously time after time from dashing to death against the many boulders projecting out of the swirling water on every side by just a narrow margin and in the nick of time, turning and twisting this way and that, as if guided by a marvelously quick and dexterous hand infallibly correct in its movement
At times I felt Instinctively that a life and death struggle was going on inside me in which I, the owner of the body, was entirely powerless to take part, forced to lie quietly and watch as a spectator the weird drama unfolded in my own flesh."
"God is the ultimate Rorschach test"
Carter Phipps
"It is the introspective worry itself which we might interpret as vrtta and which splits up experience into an anthill of particles"
(James Hillman – commentary in Gopi Krishna's "Kundalini")
"I suffered unbearable torture in silence, weeping internally at the sad turn of events blaming myself bitterly again and again for having delved into the supernatural without first acquiring a fuller knowledge of the subject and providing against the dangers and risks of the path."
"Like the vast majority of men interested in Yoga I had no idea that a system designed to develop the latent possibilities and nobler qualities in man could be fraught with such danger at times to destroy the sanity or crush life out of one by the sheer weight of entirely foreign and uncontrollable conditions of the mind"
"Too often in the west we fail to realize that even in eastern disciplines the spiritual life is not meant as an escape from the worldly life. There is karma to be fulfilled on earth, within the dharma of necessity."
"All of those for whom authentic transformation has deeply unseated their souls must, I believe, wrestle with the profound moral obligation to shout from the heart-perhaps quietly and gently, with tears of reluctance; perhaps with fierce fire and angry wisdom; perhaps with slow and careful analysis; perhaps by unshakable public example-but authenticity always and absolutely carries a demand and duty: you must speak out, to the best of your ability, and shake the spiritual tree, and shine your headlights into the eyes of the complacent. You must let that radical realization rumble through your veins and rattle those around you."
(Ken Wilber)
"In order to persuade reason to rise above itself it is essential to arrange its ascent in a manner not repugnant to it by violating any of its own jealously guarded principles"
"But science itself, though extremely useful in other ways and serviceable as a battering ram to smash religion, if not out of existence at least out of shape, was not in my view fit ro tule the domain where faith holds sway"
"… my whole being revolted at the ide of becoming a homeless ascetic, depending on the labour of others for my sustenance. If God is the embodiment of all that is good, noble and pure, I argued withing myself, how can He decree that those who have a burning desire to find Him, surrendering themselves to His will, should leave their families, to whom they owe various obligations by virtue of the ties He has Himself forged in the human heart, and should wander from place to place depending on the charity and beneficence of those who honor those ties?"
"Do not waste time idling or thinking after you have set your goals"
"Weapons may have decorations on them to enhance the spirit of the warrior but they should primarily br built for durability.
Whatever your determination or will power, it is foolish to try to change the nature of things. Things work the way they do because that is the way of things"
"There are many ways of understanding simple things, but generally the opposite is true for difficult ideas"
"The art of a warrior is to balance the terror of being a man with the wonder of being a man"
(Carlos Castaneda from "Journey to Ixtlan")
"There is no way to escape the doing of our world, so what a warrior does is to turn his world into his hunting ground. As a hunter, a warrior knows that the world is made to be used. So he uses every bit of it. A warrior is like a pirate that has no qualms in taking and using anything he wants, except that a warrior doesn't mind or he doesn't feel insulted when he is used and taken himself"
"Let's say that when every one of us is born we bring with us a little ring of power. That little ring is almost immediately put to use. So every one of us is already hooked from birth and our rings of power are joined to everyone else's. In other words, our rings of power are hooked to the doing of the world in order to make the world."
"That's your doing. Now in order to affect that doing I am going to recommend that you learn another doing… It may hook you to another doing and then you may realize that both doings are lies, unreal, and that to hinge yourself to either one is a waste of time, because the only thing that is real is the being in you that is going to die. To arrive at that being is the note-doing of the self"
"The reason you keep on coming back to see me is very simple; every time you have seen me your body has learned certain things, even against your desire. And finally your body now needs to come back to me to learn more. Let's say that your body knows that it is going to die, even though you never think about it. So I've been telling your body that I too am going to die and before I do I would like to show our body certain things, things which you cannot give to your body yourself… So let's say then that your body returns to me because I am its friend"
"This time, however, my fear was a true novelty. It came from an unknown part of the world and hit me in an unknown part of myself"
"The secret is not in what you do to yourself but rather in what you don't do."
"Hunting power is a very strange affair. There is no way to plan it ahead of time. That's what's exciting about it. A warrior proceeds as if he had a plan though, because he trusts his personal power. He knows for a fact that it will make him act in th emost appropriate fashion."
"I too did not want to take the path of a warrior. I believed that all that work was for nothing, and since we are all going to die what difference would it make to be a warrior? I was wrong. But I had to find that out for myself. Whenever you do realize that you are wrong, and that it certainly makes a world of difference, you can say that you are convinced. And then you can proceed by yourself. Any by yourself you may even become a man of knowledge"
"A warrior is only a man. A humble man. He cannot change the designs of his death, But his impeccable spirit, which has stored power after stupendous hardships, can certainly hold his death for a moment, a moment long enough to let him rejoice for the last time in recalling his power. We may say that that is a gesture which death has with those who have an impeccable spirit.
And thus you will dance to your death here, on this hilltop, at the end of the day. An din your last dance you will tell of your struggle, of the battles you have won and of those you have lost; you will tell of your joys and bewilderments upon encountering personal power. Your dance will tell about the secrets and about the marvels you have stored. And your death will sit her and watch you."
"A warrior, on the other hand, is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. But once his calculations are over he acts. He lets go. That's abandon."
"Tonight in your dreams you must look at your hands."
"A hunter that is worth his salt does not catch game because he sets his traps, or because he knows the hunting routines of his prey, but because he himself has no routines. This is his advantage. He is not at all like the animals he is after, fixed by heavy routines and predictable quirks; he is free, fluid, unpredictable"
"One day I found out that personal history was no longer necessary for me and, like drinking, I dropped it… Little by little you must create a fog around yourself; you must erase everything around you until nothing can be taken for granted, until nothing is any longer for sure, or real. Your problem now is that you're too real. Your endeavors are too real, your moods are too real. Don't take things so for granted. You must begin to erase yourself."
"Fright never injures anyone. What injures the spirit is having someone always on your back, beating you, telling you what to do and what not to do"
"… everyone who comes into contact with a child is a teacher who incessantly describes the world to him, until the moment when the child is capable of perceiving the world as it is described. According to Don Juan, we have no memory of that portentous moment, simply because none of us could possibly have had any point of reference to compare it to anything else. From that moment on, however, the child is a member. He knows the description of the world; and his membership becomes full fledged, I suppose, when he is capable of making all the proper perceptual interpretations which, by conforming to that description, validate it"
"The presentation of an idea, apparently improvised, is only valid if there has been adequate study and preparation…"
"There is a significant difference between not getting a deal signed and having your head cut off. Business is mental. War is mental and physical. The true warrior has not difficulty understanding this difference regardless of all the hype suggesting that 'business is war'. It absolutely is not."
(Stephen F. Kaufman from "The Martial Artist's Book of Five Rings")
"You're chained to you reason … Understanding is only a very small affair, so very small"
(Carlos Castaneda from "A Separate Reality")
"Fright is something one can never get over. When a warrior is caught in such a tight spot he would simply turn his back to the ally without thinking twice. A warrior cannot indulge thus he cannot die of fright. A warrior allows the ally to come only when he is good and ready. When he is strong enough to grapple with the ally he opens up his gap and lurches out, grabs the ally, keeps him pinned down and maintains his stare on him for exactly the time he has to, then he moves his eyes away and releases the ally and lets him go. A warrior, my little friend, is the master at all times"
"The spirit of a warrior is not geared to indulging and complaining, nor is it geared to winning or losing. The spirit of a warrior is geared only to struggle, and every struggle is a warrior's last battle on earth. Thus the outcome matters very little to him. In his last battle on earth a warrior lets his spirit flow free and clear. And as he wages his battle, knowing that his will is impeccable, a warrior laughs and laughs"
"It isn't a matter of fine acting performances or of those talents which always impress through expertise and technique, however special. It's more a question of heart. That is an empty space, a group of performers simply and openly show themselves for what they are, and hope to be"
John Heilpern from "Conference of the Birds"
"I have actually seen people contemplate their navels"
"In his absence, Brook asked Myers to take personal responsibility for work on another show, The Ogre Show, which would be performed that night. Pleased and flattered, Myers accepted the job as the group's new boss. He found out later that Brook had given the same to job to everyone else"

Q: Compound if condition inside list comprehension doesn't seem to work I have this code:
 jira_regex = re.compile("^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]+-[0-9]+")
 with open(ticket_file, 'r') as f:
     tickets = [word for line in f for word in line.split() if jira_regex.match(word) and word not in tickets]

ticket_file contains this:
PRJ1-2333
PRJ1-2333
PRJ1-2333
PRJ2-2333
PRJ2-2333
MISC-5002

After the code runs, the tickets list contains these:
['PRJ1-2333', 'PRJ1-2333', 'PRJ1-2333', 'PRJ2-2333', 'PRJ2-2333', 'MISC-5002']

I expected this:
['PRJ1-2333', 'PRJ2-2333', 'MISC-5002']

Why is word not in tickets condition not eliminating duplicates?  The regex filter is working fine, however.

A: You can use a set:

*

*Sets can only contain unique values

*

*I've used set(...) to be explicit, but set(...) can be replace with {...}.

*This implementation builds a generator inside set()

*Don't use a list-comprehension inside (e.g. set([...])), because the list can potentially use a lot of memory.

*word not in tickets causes NameError: name 'tickets' is not defined because, from the perspective of the list comprehension, tickets does not exist.

*

*If you're not getting a NameError, it's because tickets exists in memory already, or tickets is assigned in your code, but not this example.

*Given the example code, if you clear the environment, and run the code, you'll get an error.

*.match returns something like <re.Match object; span=(0, 9), match='PRJ1-2333'> or None

*

*Where match = jira_regex.match(t), if there's a match, get the value with match[0].

*word for line in f for word in line.split() if jira_regex.match(word) assumes that if jira_regex.match(word) isn't None that the match is always equal to word. Based on the sample data, this is the case, but I don't know if that's the case with the real data.

jira_regex = re.compile("^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]+-[0-9]+")
with open('test.txt', 'r') as f:
    tickets = set(word for line in f for word in line.split() if jira_regex.match(word))

print(tickets)

{'MISC-5002', 'PRJ1-2333', 'PRJ2-2333'}

Without .split():

*

*It seems as if line.split() is being used to get rid of the newline, which can be accomplished with line.strip()
Option 1:
jira_regex = re.compile("^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]+-[0-9]+")
with open('test.txt', 'r') as f:
    tickets = set(jira_regex.match(word.strip())[0] for word in f)  # assumes .match will never be None

print(tickets)
{'MISC-5002', 'PRJ1-2333', 'PRJ2-2333'}

Option 2:
jira_regex = re.compile("^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]+-[0-9]+")
with open('test.txt', 'r') as f:
    tickets = set(word.strip() for word in f if jira_regex.match(word.strip()))

print(tickets)
{'MISC-5002', 'PRJ1-2333', 'PRJ2-2333'}

For the code to be explicit:
jira_regex = re.compile("^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]+-[0-9]+")
tickets = list()
with open('test.txt', 'r') as f:

    for t in f:
        t = t.strip()  # remove space from beginning and end and remove newlines
        match = jira_regex.match(t)  # assign .match to a variable
        if match != None:  # check if a match was found
            match = match[0]  # extract the match value, depending on the data, this may not be the same as 't'
            if match not in tickets:  # check if match is in tickets
                tickets.append(match)  # if match is not in tickets, add it to tickets

print(tickets)

A:
Why is word not in tickets condition not eliminating duplicates?

It is because the variable tickets does not exist yet until the list comprehension is finished.
You can do a set comprehension like this (not tested):
tickets = {word for line in f for word in line.split() if jira_regex.match(word)}

A: I'm assuming you predefined tickets in your code. The reason the if statement is not working is because although you are adding more and more values into tickets, the tickets in your if statement will always be empty, so word is always not in.
I believe this is what you are trying to do:
 jira_regex = re.compile("^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]+-[0-9]+")
 with open(ticket_file, 'r') as f:
     [tickets.append(word) for line in f for word in line.split() if jira_regex.match(word) and word not in tickets]

A: Why is word not in tickets condition not eliminating duplicates? This is not working because when you are using
 tickets = [word for line in f for word in line.split() if jira_regex.match(word) and word not in tickets]

This is a list comprehension & hence will assign value to variable 'tickets' after reading all content from your file. Hence, in short, the condition, word not in tickets is literally adding nothing to the code as 'tickets' won't be assigned until every text is being read. What you can do is
 jira_regex = re.compile("^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]+-[0-9]+")
 with open(ticket_file, 'r') as f:
     tickets = [word for line in f for word in line.split() if jira_regex.match(word)]
     tickets=set(tickets)

This will remove all your duplicate values

Turnaround at the Veterans Health Administration (A)
By: Amy C. Edmondson, Brian R. Golden and Gary J. Young
Investigates the challenges that Dr. Kenneth W. Kizer confronted in seeking to create organizational change at the largest integrated health care system in North America, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Kizer was appointed as the Under Secretary of Health, to oversee the VHA, in 1994. Upon Kizer's arrival, it was immediately apparent that the management style that pervaded the VHA was ineffective and out of date. At the same time, the VHA faced inefficient health care delivery systems coupled with a steadily increasing number of patients. Kizer started to make plans to change the VHA into a modern, responsive, efficient, and effective health care organization. However, success in executing on his plans would require challenging a bureaucratic system with a long history. Documents progress, including organizational efficiencies gained that include consolidation of health care facilities, and illuminates leadership actions that facilitate this progress. Clearly, many challenges still lie ahead. Near the end of the case, Dr. Kizer awaits news from Congress on his reappointment for another four-year term.

Jurong is een stad in het zuidwesten van de provincie Jiangsu van China. Jurong had bij de census van 2010 617.680 inwoners. Jurong hoort als stadsarrondissement bij de stadsprefectuur Zhenjiang. Jurong ligt zo'n 80 km ten westen van Yangzhou en 40 km ten zuidoosten van de provinciehoofdstad Nanjing.

Geschiedenis
In 129 v.Chr. werd Dang, de zoon van Liu Fa, toenmalig prins van Changsha, de markies van Jurong. Toen hij al snel stierf, werd het land dat hem toebehoorde Jurong county in het jaar volgend op zijn overlijden. Jurong was historisch onder de jurisdictie van Nanjing, maar werd geannexeerd aan de prefectuur van Zhenjiang in 1950, stadsprefectuur Zhenjiang vanaf 1983. Het arrondissement zelf werd in 1995 gepromoveerd tot stadsarrondissement.

Transport
Op de Nanjing-Hangzhou hogesnelheidslijn is het station Jurong West gelegen in de zuidwestelijke rand van de stad.

Meerdere stations zijn gepland in Jurong bij de aanleg van de lijn S6 van de metro van Nanjing, om welke reden de lijn ook de Nanjing–Jurong Intercity Metro genoemd wordt.

1. You should live to serve Christ anywhere and at all times. The Bible teaches that every Christian is called to Christian service, regardless of his or her vocation. We practice the truth that every believer is a minister by living as a follower of Christ. Every believer has direct access to God through prayer and the scripture.
2. You should live as a manager… not an owner of your time, talents and treasures. The Bible teaches us that we are His workmanship, created in Christ – we are His 'poetry in motion'. As we are connected with God, it enables us to fulfill His purpose and will, not only for our lives, but for others as well. As a vessel for Him, we will be blessed through blessing others.
3. Your life and words should tell others about Christ. It is the responsibility of every Christian to share the Good News with those whom God allows us to contact daily.
4. You should live guided by the Holy Spirit and Word of God. It is imperative that Christians in our culture seek the aid of the Holy Spirit in cultivating sensitivity to evils of society.


Editor's Note: This article first appeared in the July 2015 Library of Virginia Newsletter.
One of the Library of Virginia's newest online collections was recently hacked, and we could not be more excited. The Kaine Email Project has caught the attention of a group of civic hackers called Code for Hampton Roads. As the local chapter of the Code for America Brigade, Code for Hampton Roads provides opportunities for people to marry technological skills with a desire to foster open government and improve communities through open-source web solutions. The group's recent projects include web apps for finding local restaurants' health inspection results and for searching all of Virginia's civil court records from a single search page.
Kaine Email Project @ LVA – Who is Rusty Shackleford?
This is the eighth in a series of posts spotlighting recently released email from Governor Tim Kaine's administration. These posts are not meant to be comprehensive but to encourage further exploration in the Kaine administration records (electronic and paper).
Who is Rusty Shackleford? This was a question that I asked myself when I conducted an inventory of the email files the Kaine administration transferred to the Library in January 2010. Rusty's email box was unusual. It contained 553 messages from the summer of 2008. None of the messages had been opened and none were addressed to him personally. I made a note of this in my spreadsheet and moved on to the next email box. I had forgotten about Rusty until I processed the email of Paul Brockwell, conflict of interest director in the secretary of the commonwealth's office, two years later. I discovered that Kaine administration staffers were also curious about the identity of the mysterious Rusty Shackleford.
The following August 2008 email exchange between Brockwell; David Allen, Northrup Grumman; Amber Amato, director of constituent services; Kate Paris, executive assistant to the chief of staff and counselor to the governor; and Bernard Henderson, deputy secretary of the commonwealth, documents the administration's search for Rusty.

Home » Population and labour » Firm performance and labour dynamics » Are Patent Fees Effective at Weeding Out Low-Quality Patents?
The paper investigates whether patent fees are an effective mechanism to deter the filing of low-quality patent applications.
The study analyzes the effect of the Patent Law Amendment Act of 1982, which resulted in a substantial increase in patenting fees at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, on patent quality. Results from a series of difference-in-differences regressions suggest that the increase in fees led to a weeding out of low-quality patents. About 16-17 per cent of patents in the lowest quality decile were filtered out. The figure reaches 24-30 per cent for patents in the lowest quality quintile. However, the fee elasticity of quality decreased with the size of the patent portfolio held by applicants.
The study has strong policy implications in the current context of concerns about declines in patent quality and the financial vulnerability of patent offices.

Electronic Funds Processing for Small Business
By Stuart J. Johnston | Posted July 27, 2010
Congress to Reconsider Ecommerce Tax Bill
ProPay Adds ACH Encryption to ProtectPay Services
Electronic Bill-Payment Service Saves Time and Money
Technology today is so affordable that a small business ecommerce website can offer most of the features found on the websites of much larger companies. However, one area of ecommerce that often falls short for small business owners is the capability to process financial transactions electronically.
Big businesses most often use automated clearing houses (ACH) to provide the services that clear transactions between the payer's bank and the merchant's bank electronically -- under the watchful eyes of the Federal Reserve Banks. By using ACH, parties get their money faster at lower cost than other options, and they benefit from the protection of high-quality security.
Now there are ACH processors that provide small businesses with an economic alternative to credit cards and their high processing fees.
For instance, small businesses can sign up with epayment firms like Bill.com
Small businesses can also use ACH Federal to collect and process payments from customers online, make payments to vendors, deposit payroll funds into employee accounts, and perform other financial transactions via ACH.
"As the online payments market continues to grow and the use of paper checks decreases, ACH processing is becoming the industry standard for electronic payment transactions," according to a statement from ACH Federal. Banks and merchants that can't provide those services run the risk of finding themselves at a disadvantage to larger companies that do.
Founded by three accredited ACH professionals, ACH Federal began providing ACH services to banks and small businesses in mid-2009.
"ACH Federal has processed more than 3.2 million transactions since March 2009, and is currently averaging more than 400,000 transactions per month," the company said in an April statement.
"What we're offering is very inexpensive to use," Craig Cotter, director of sales for privately held ACH Federal told Small Business Computing, adding that a wide range of businesses can take advantage of ACH services.
For instance, potential small business customers include child care centers, auto shops and dealerships, charities, apartment rental managers, small hotels, local gyms, storage rental companies, and so on.
At the NACHA 2010 conference in late April, ACH Federal announced that the company had already signed up more than 20 financial institutions and more than 15 direct small business customers.
Industry-wide, NACHA reported that, during the first quarter of 2010, 3.88 billion transactions worth more than $7.7 trillion were conducted -- an increase of almost 3 percent from the same quarter last year.
How ACH Federal's Electronic Payments Work
Though a number of ACH Federal's customers are small and mid-sized banks, with assets between $300 million and $3 billion, the company also offers its services to small business owners that want to simplify and speed up payment processing.
ACH Federal's service uses a simple-to-navigate, Web-based ACH service that takes advantage of the company's direct link terminal to the Federal Reserve Bank, Cotter said. The terminal is provided by a "sponsor bank," he added.
ACH Federal provides receipts and proof the money has been paid, while also freeing the business from much record keeping -- customers can look up six years of data online. That can save both money and time.
Of course, security is of utmost importance when you're in the business of processing electronic financial transactions, which is why ACH Federal built what the company calls "a fully automated platform [that] uses data encryption and multi-factor authentication for maximum security."
"ACH Federal is offering a competitive set of services to small business," a company spokesperson said. "We offer small businesses the same kinds of services that big banks provide. As paper goes away, small businesses will be looking more towards ACH," he added.
One of ACH Federal's newest customers is Trifish Finance. The Los Angeles-based Trifish originates and processes auto loans.
"We're an auto finance company and we collect millions of dollars every month," Avi Shraga, president of Trifish Finance, told Small Business Computing.
Trifish, which has 15 employees and about 4,000 accounts, previously used ACH services from MoneyGram International.
"ACH Federal began processing with Trifish in May 2010 and, in just the first 30 days of the relationship, processed more than $434,000 worth of transactions," a statement from ACH Federal said.
Shraga is happy with the price of processing transactions, too. "Without ACH, I don't know what I would do," Shraga said. "I guess [we'd switch to] credit cards, but it's more expensive. In the next decade, everything will be electronic."

EYF Bound!! | Ready! Set! Stitch!
Welcome to Ready! Set! Stitch! Questions, queries or just plain curious? You can email me at crochet(@)heidifalstrom(.)ie or find me procrastinating over on my Facebook page Ready! Set! Stitch!
The excitement has totally set in. So seriously excited, I packed on Tuesday to be sure there would be enough room in my suitcase (half of it) for any and all treasures I return with.
I'd like to take my cardi with me but know it's too bulky now for travelling. While I'm looking forward to the 6hr journey up (and same on way back) on the train, I don't have enough sewing to last all that time.So I cast on a sock. It's technically not part of the grander slow making year but I realise it's necessary. There are a few car journeys on the horizon and aran weight cardigans don't travel well. Plus some small zen knitting in the round is always handy for those unexpected trips to the doctor.
Casting on took me the better part of Monday and had me nearly in tears but I got there. I've done socks before but not toe up. Before casting on I thought I could do 2 socks at a time but that nonsense was quickly forgotten after the third frogging.
In the end I got the sock going and it looked good bar the lumpy purl row at the toe. It just didn't look right to me. So I did a bit more research and I was right, the purls were meant to be inside. *sigh* One more frogging and so glad that I did. The toe looks much nicer now and it should wear better.
Now for the increases. My kfb (knit front & back) increases are a bit loose. I think a make 1 left or right would be nicer and won't leave any sort of holes. There's no way I'm ripping back, I'll just continue on with the changes. Besides, it'll be in my shoe. No one needs to know the finished sock toes are slightly different.
Have a lovely weekend folks!
Thanks for popping by. I'm Heidi, a maker and lover of all things handmade.
