Why Not Get Moving?
Why are our universities blocking men's societies?
As another society for male students to address important issues is blocked, Martin Daubney asks why universities aren't taking male concerns seriously

A male Durham University student was so moved by the suicide of a close male friend that he felt compelled to start a society for other men who may need support – only to find it blocked by the Student Union this week for being too "controversial".
When Adam Frost, 21, a third-year Italian and French student, proposed the Durham University Male Human Rights Society, he was ridiculed on campus, with remarks such as "Isn't this a bit like starting a society for white people's rights?"
Adam told me: "Last October, a friend who was depressed reached out to me, but I didn't know what to say. I tried to help, but two weeks later I found out he'd killed himself. That hit me hard. I started looking into male suicide and found some shocking statistics. The reason behind that is that male depression isn't taken seriously – we're supposed to just 'man up' and deal with it. Men are ridiculed.
"It's incredible how much stigma there is against male weakness. Men's issues are deemed unimportant, so I decided to start a society.
"But it was rejected by [Durham's] Societies Committee; they said it was 'controversial' – and that my aims were 'too similar to those of Fem Soc [Feminist Society]'. That's just not true. They told me I could have a men's group, but only if it was a branch of the Fem Soc, which struck me as unacceptable.
"To show why, I went through the Fem Soc policy documents, where it specifically says, 'Feminism exists for women' and 'it would be extremely unreasonable to expect this space to support and cater for the needs of men'.

"So it's ridiculous to say the Fem Soc can cater for the needs of men when in a sense it discriminates against men.
"[The documents] also state that society favours men and I don't think that's true – in terms of court sentencing, child supervision orders, cancer funding and, of course, suicide. There are also lots of affirmative-action initiatives to encourage women to get jobs in high-paid sectors.
"None of the Fem Soc's remit has anything to do with men's issues. It doesn't come on to their radar."
• Men need to open up about depression, not man up
Despite Adam making a powerfully eloquent and heartfelt case for a standalone men's group, on Thursday, Durham University's Societies Committee rejected his plea, telling him he could only operate from within the Feminist Society.
"Fem Soc have been great, and have offered to work with me, but I don't think that's satisfactory, as they don't have men's issues as a pressing goal," he says. "That's fair enough – so why can't I set up a men's group?
"To be clear, I'm not interested in waging ideological war against feminism and want to distance myself from those MRAs and misogynists who seem to spend a disproportionate amount of time bashing feminism. I want to help men. Instead of just bitching about stuff on the internet I want to get into activism.
"Now, I'm left with the choice of setting up a society outside of the Student Union, but I won't get any funding, will have to pay for rooms and won't be able to book speakers without approval. It would just be guys in a café.
"It makes me incredibly disappointed in the system. It reinforces the idea that society doesn't care about men's issues."
• It's society, not biology, that is making more men suicidal
When Telegraph Men asked for Durham's official take on the matter, Joely Charlton, the student union's activities officer, said: "All new society applications are considered against the same criteria. Where new groups have aims and objectives which overlap with existing groups, we recommend collaboration rather than the duplication of student groups.
"The male human rights application detailed overlapping aims and objectives with several existing student groups. We recommended that they attempt to work with some of those groups in the first instance."
But, to my mind, Durham's refusal to allow Adam to start a men's group follows a similarly depressing call made by Staffordshire University in February, when the Men's Rights Society was blocked by the university's Woman's Network, who called it "dangerous".
Similarly, men's groups from as far afield as Australia, USA and Canada have been faced with similar Left-leaning, feminist-driven flak, making it feel like modern universities support diversity in all forms – so long as it isn't male.
As a long-time advocate of men's rights and a committee member at the Being A Man Festival – which takes place later this year at the Southbank Centre in London, and which was set up to give modern men a forum to voice their concerns without fear of ridicule – Durham's decision is retrograde and counterintuitive when, specifically, the biggest killer of young men is suicide. Men need to talk now more than ever – and we know they best achieve that in men-only environments.
Do we really live in a world where not offending university feminist societies is deemed more important than helping men in need?
And are universities becoming increasingly hostile towards men? The latest data from Ucas revealed that the gap between the number of female and male university applicants rose to record levels last year; 2014 figures showed 58,000 more female admissions.
Widespread media reports of rampant "lad culture" at universities, and the establishment of compulsory consent classes at a number of institutions, helps create a stereotype that all male students are potentially dangerous sexual predators.
Banning or hamstringing societies that would encourage men to speak up on serious issues further adds to the growing perception that universities are becoming unwelcoming spaces for young men.
This itself is an important issue that male students at our universities should be talking about. And they shouldn't have to ask permission from their local Fem Soc first.

Part One of an interview (or charla) with me in on La Bloga. It's got interesting background on my past, my novels, plus art and photos! And a chance to win a free autographed copy of High Aztech or Cortez on Jupiter. And it's only Part One . . .


Im making a small game with one player and blocks that builds up the envirement. The problem im having is knowing the difference between when the player hits the ground (the top of a block), and hitting a wall (the side of the block).
So far the player can walk on the ground just fine, but when he meets a wall, he immediately jumps to the top of that block.


For many people, Autumn is the most spectacular season of the year in which to visit the Highlands of Scotland. The green tones of summer give way to spectacular autumnal tints, usually accompanied by relatively mild weather conditions, whilst the wildlife is busily preparing for the harsh winter season that lies ahead.
Autumn and Winter promise an element of tranquility as there are far fewer visitors around than during the summer months. Despite the long nights and chilly days, Winter is a great time to visit Applecross with its crisp, snow-dusted hills and shoreline. There is a wonderful sense of being able to 'have all this' to yourselves - such a privilege.
To make the most of an autumn or winter break, preparation is absolutely key – not just being sure to take the right sort of clothes for getting out and about, but finding somewhere warm and cosy to stay.
Unlike the way it's sometimes presented, Scotland's climate is actually moderate, if changeable, and only rarely extreme at either end of the temperature scale. As an old Scottish saying goes, "there's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes!" So even though Scotland isn't blessed with year-round sunshine and tropical temperatures, that doesn't mean to say that the weather needs to get in the way of having a great and relaxing autumn or winter break - quite the reverse in fact.
Come back from a bracing coastal walk or a gentle stroll through the Applecross Estate, close the curtains to the outside world and relax in front of a roaring log fire.
And if the weather is really atrocious, there's nothing quite like watching the angry sea dashing against the rocks from the snug comfort of the sitting room whilst listening to the shipping forecast as the windows are lashed by the storm.
On clear frosty nights the stars shine so brilliantly in a dark sky unaffected by light pollution that you feel it is possible to reach out and touch them. In the depths of winter, should the conditions be right, you may even be lucky enough to be treated to a show of the Northern Lights. And should you also be lucky enough to be staying when there is snow on the ground, you'll marvel at the transformation of the landscape.


Michael Rees is an accomplished sculptor who has exhibited widely and has been written about in many books on the subject of art and digital media. He was one of the first sculptors in the world to blend the use of computer-aided design, 3d printing and automated manufacture into a conceptual art practice, pioneering the use of new media in sculpture since the early 1990's.
Rees' work sits at the intersection of the themes of figuration, language, biology, technology and the social to weave a sculptural mélange. It often addresses figuration through a variety of media, including aspects of an embodied dynamic investigating incorporation, mind and imagination.
His work with new media was celebrated in the 2001 Whitney Bitstreams exhibition, curated by Lawrence Rinder, as well as in the 2013-2014 Museum of Art and Design's exhibition Out of Hand: Materializing the Post Digital, curated by Ron Labaco.
Earlier in his career Rees was included in the 1995 Whitney Biennial and also won a National Endowment for the Arts Grant for the exhibition Artificial Sculpture; software and installation with Chris Burnett. He won a Creative Capital Grant for his language-to-form synthesizing software Sculptural User Interface (also with Chris Burnett and Donald Guarnieri), as well as a Rockefeller Renew Media Grant.
Rees' work has been included in many survey books on art and new media including Arts and Electronic Media by Edward Shanken, Digital Art by Christiana Paul and From Technological Art to Virtual Art by Frank Popper, among others.
Rees holds a Masters of Fine Art from Yale University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Kansas City Art Institute, and became a tenured associate professor of art after joining the faculty of William Paterson University in 2008. In 2009 he became the director of the newly reminted Center for New Art.


Small ship cruise expert AdventureSmith Explorations http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com has engaged a fleet of sleek, 150-foot modern yachts to transport in style 38 to 40 guests per sailing on 17 island-hopping departures along the Dalmatian Coast this season.
"The nature of our Island Hopper itinerary is. yes, to explore the history and culture of Croatia but also to enjoy swimming, hiking in the countryside, kayaking and bicycling," said Todd Smith, AdventureSmith Explorations Founder and President.
This eight-day/seven-night cruise starts at $1,440 per person, double. The rates (nearly all-inclusive) and dining schedule offer leeway to enjoy regional cuisines and wines over lunches and dinners while strolling through towns, Smith said.
"This is affordable luxury in Croatia. Our combination of deluxe accommodations, superior service and expert guides is rare, especially for prices starting at under $1,500 per person," Smith said. The rate includes accommodations, daily buffet breakfast and lunch or dinner; a beverage with lunch; drinking water; services of a professional tour manager; guided walking tours; fees for bus transfers and cable cars; visitor taxes, port and national park fees; luggage handling; daily cabin service and free Wi-Fi on board.
The cruise begins and ends in Split with on Day 1 a guided tour of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. A welcome reception and briefing greet guests on their return from visiting Roman ruins. Day 2 is an excursion to Marco Polo's birthplace, Korcula Island, where appetizers and local vintages are sampled on the tail end of an excursion.
Day 5 brings guests to the Peljesac Peninsula, a region known for wines. Here guests enjoy Croatian specialties over a dinner in a rural village. Jet-set Hvar, known for lavish lavender fields and such beauties as a Renaissance cathedral, comes on Day 6 followed on Day 7 by the final stop on the Island of Brac and at the town of Bol. Fishermen and tourists blend together here before the Captain's farewell dinner on board and the journey back to Split.
AdventureSmith Explorations offers additional cruises on European waters thanks to an expanding inventory of small ships at its disposal. Two examples are a tour called Classical Greece aboard the 49-guest Harmony V that embodies the best of spring in the islands and on the Mediterranean. The per person double rate for this eight-day cruise is from $2,790. Another is a nine-day luxury cruise of the Cyclades aboard Sea Cloud with an exclusive charter of this historic windjammer. The per person double rate is from $8,790.

Laser-induced birefringence in a wavelength-mismatched cascade system of inhomogeneously broadened Yb atoms
Tai Hyun Yoon, Chang Yong Park, Sung Jong Park
The laser-induced birefringence (LIB) in a wavelength-mismatched cascade system of homogeneously broadened ytterbium atoms was discussed. The transmission spectrum of two circular polarization (σ+ p and σ-p) components of strong probe field at fixed frequency, depending on the detuning of a circularly polarized coupling field from two-photon resonance was investigated. It was found that the σ+p(σ-p) polarized component exhibits a narrow electromagnetically induced absorption (transparency) spectrum. The theoretical calculations done using density matrix equations and the experimental results were found to be converging.

After the festive holidays have passed, I'm usually always asked whether written thank you notes are still necessary. And, I know you want a quick yes or no. But, here's the thing: the answer really is, "It depends." Let me walk you through my rationale about thank you notes now, and in the future I'm sure you'll be able to answer this question for yourself rather quickly.
Traditional etiquette has maintained that if the gift-giver was present when you were able to open their gift to you, then your sincere thanks at the time was all that was needed and a note was not necessary. If the gift-giver was not going to be able to witness you open their gift, then a handwritten note was in order. Not only did this allow you to convey your gratitude and appreciation of the gift, but it served the practical purpose of assuring the gift-giver you had indeed received their gift. This made a lot of sense when gift-giving was primarily between close family members and romantic partners and when people didn't receive gifts from work colleagues, fellow students, clients, or others with whom they had some connection.
In our culture today, it is not uncommon to receive a great deal more gifts due to our expanded circles and networks and due to the incorporation of "Hallmark Holidays" into our culture (e.g., Mother's Day). While I would still acquiesce that if the gift-giver were present when you opened the gift, and if the gift were from a family member, you probably don't need to send a note, I think in all other situations you should take the position that writing a thank you note is a worthwhile endeavor.
Your next questions is probably something along the lines of "Do I have to write an actual note or will an email or text suffice?" Again, the answer here is "It depends." If the gift is a plate of cookies from a neighbor left by your door, a text or an email acknowledging the gift and thanking them for it is sufficient. If you and your grandmother text regularly but she wasn't able to see you open your gift, your grandmother will probably be happy to receive a "thank you text." However, she'll feel even more appreciated if you send her a written note. When the gift-giver and the recipient are very familiar, the usual norms of communicating for that particular relationship will make clear what form expressing your thanks should take.
As mentioned above, the very practical reason of letting a gift-giver know their gift has been received is always appreciated.
The act of focusing on someone else's generosity will frequently inspire us to be more generous with others.
The practice of gratitude opens us up to seeing more in our lives to be grateful for.
Thank you notes add emphasis to what you may have said in person when you received a gift.
A note affords you the opportunity to compliment and acknowledge someone else's generosity without requiring a reciprocal response.
Taking the time to write a note demonstrates that you don't take gifts for granted and that you are not so busy that you fail to notice when someone has done something kind for you.
People like to be connected to and help people they think are kind.
The fact that so many people do not send thank you notes anymore will make you stand out (in a good way).
Who doesn't like to receive mail that isn't a bill or an advertisement?
Whether you express your thanks in person, via email or text, or in a hand-written note, be sure to take a moment to let the people who think you are special enough to buy a gift for know that you value the time and generosity they have directed towards you.

Q: How to Fix a Different First Page Margin Under the Letter Class? I would like to make a simple letter with the following margin: left=1in, top=1in, right=1in, bottom=1in.
Here is the MWE:
\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{letter}
\usepackage[reset, a4paper, left=1in, top=1in, right=1in, bottom=1in, nohead, nofoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\date{}
\signature{Lorem Ipsum}

\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{}

\opening{Dear Lorem Ipsum,}

\lipsum

\closing{Yours sincerely,}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\end{letter}
\end{document}

The MWE result is as following:

Here is the \layout:

I realize that the first page "margin" differs from the next pages, but the margin frame is correct as shown in the \showframe. The first word doesn't want to start at the top of the body frame. The only things start at the top of the body is the sender information, such as the return address and the date. However, I want to omit those information (or at least make those information \raggedleft, but it failed). How could I address this problem?

A: If you want to write a letter with your own settings, it's better to just use article - it'll allow you to format content to your specifications with the code also being much easier to read.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage[
  paper = a4paper,

Battle of Goldsborough (Goldsboro) Bridge
On December 17, 1862, Union Brig. Gen. John G. Foster's expedition began destroying the tracks leading to the Goldsborough Bridge in an effort to break the main Confederate supply line. The Confederates were able to delay the destruction but it could not be prevented. It is estimated 220 men lost their lives in this battle. This battle field has been well preserved and hosts school events and reenactments throughout the year.
Location of the Battle of Goldsboro Bridge
Battle of Goldsboro Bridge and Foster's Raid
The Goldsborough Bridge spanned the Neuse River and was used by the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad. In 1861-1862 this bridge was an important link that moved supplies and men to and from the port of Wilmington. It was also a connection from the states of the Deep South to the Confederate forces in Virginia. Both the Union Army and Confederate forces wanted to fortify the strategically significant Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Bridge.
Union Brig. Gen. John G. Foster began a series of raids on December 11th, 1862, when he marched his troops inland from New Bern, fighting the Confederate forces all the way. The Confederates were outnumbered in men and guns and were rarely able to hold their position.
As they neared the bridge on December 17th, the Confederate brigade of Gen. Thomas Clingman prepared to defend the bridge with less than 2000 men. The Confederates were lining the woods leading up to the railroad bridge when Foster fired at them with his cannons. Clingman pulled his men back under this attack; however the fighting was far from over. The Union forces kept firing and fighting and pushing forward. Even though the Confederates had far fewer cannons, they continued firing their guns and the one cannon they had mounted to a railcar. The fighting was bloody and violent. Within two hours the Union forces had reached the bridge.
The Unions objective was to destroy the bridge and with it, so they thought the Confederates lifeline. Each time a man ran forward to set the bridge on fire, he was shot by a southern sharpshooter. Finally, Lt. George W. Graham and Lt. B.N. Mann got the fire underway on the bridge but Mann was injured. General Foster ordered all cannon fire on the bridge to keep the Confederates from extinguishing the fire. When he was satisfied it was fully emblazed he began his withdrawal from the battle field. However Foster was unaware that additional Southern troops had arrived for a counter-attack using another bridge. As they were preparing to leave, the Confederates came out of the woods and charged with a rebel yell and waving their flags. As the fighting continued the Southern troops broke a dam and flooded the field between Foster's main force and his rear guard. They were able to escape only by wading through neck-deep water in freezing temperatures.
The total Union casualties in the Battle of Goldsborough Bridge were 92 killed and 487 wounded. The Confederate losses were 71 dead and 268 wounded.
While the Battle of the Goldsborough Bridge was a Union victory, the destruction of the railroad bridge was not as successful in creating the devastating impact the North had hoped.

I find it amusing that people are blaming CJ for their own failures.
Just because CJ is failing does not mean the affiliates that left are failing. Many of us are more than making up for any losses elsewhere.
Before the changes CJ was by far my top earner.

I definitely see why the cheap cost per lead programs could not survive on CJ. That was because of CJ changing rates. Low paying high converting programs.
These programs are usually not that profitable for their owners, and often they are repackaged CJ offers in themselves.
Now that these have left, CJ has a much cleaner atmosphere.
I think another network would definitely be a great enviornment for these now "homeless" programs but the problem is no other network really has good tracking or reliability. Compare CJ's reliability to Clickxchange, linkshare, fineclicks, shareasale, and affiliate fuel. CJ is the clear winner. Affiliate Fuel looks pretty good though. Some are OK but none too special.


Hannover, June 10, 2018. Vodafone and Continental have joined forces. The telecommunications group and the technology company are announcing a new innovation-driving partnership at CeBIT. Their objective is to improve the safety of German roads with smart vehicle connectivity and they will be collaboratively developing innovations to protect all road users. The two partners are already working on application scenarios at Vodafone's 5G mobility lab. A digital shield for pedestrians and a traffic jam warning system are two of the focal projects. They will be implemented with 5G, cellular vehicle-to-everything (cellular V2X) and mobile edge computing.
Johann Hiebl, Head of the Infotainment and Connectivity Business Unit at Continental, commented, "Continental has been working to connect vehicles to each other and to the infrastructure for more than 20 years. Today's vehicles need superior automotive technology and superior connectivity technology. The cooperation with Vodafone brings experts from both worlds together to develop solutions with smart communication technologies such as 5G, cellular V2X and mobile edge computing that make our roads safer."
The partners are optimizing the wireless network to cope with the immense data requirements of the automotive industry at the 5G Mobility Lab. Tomorrow's fully automated vehicles will generate up to one gigabyte of data every minute, some of which will be shared with other road users. 5G, the next generation of cellular network technology, will be capable of processing up to 10 gigabits of data per second and make it possible for millions of cars to communicate with each other simultaneously. Road users can only warn each other of potential hazards if they are able to share data in real time. Cellular V2X technology makes that possible because it connects the vehicle to the cloud and facilitates information sharing between vehicles or between vehicles and other road users. Continental and Vodafone are also testing mobile edge computing technology – a technology that enables cloud computing capabilities and an IT service environment at the edge of the cellular network. This technology significantly reduces both the volume of data to be transmitted and the transmission path, and puts information processing speeds into an entirely new dimension.
Mobile edge computing technology will be used at the 5G Mobility Lab to test a digital shield for pedestrians and cyclists because around 25 percent of road traffic deaths (Federal Statistical Office) affect these two groups of road users. Vehicles will have built-in cameras to recognize pedestrians who suddenly decide to cross a road, for example. The camera will send live images to the mobile edge computer at the base station for lightning-speed Artificial Intelligence analysis.
If the system identifies a risk situation, it sends a warning to all the vehicles in the area via the wireless network. This also has advantages for car manufacturers, in addition to drivers and pedestrians. Relocating the computing power necessary for the risk analysis to the mobile edge computing server means that the manufacturer doesn't have to integrate expensive chip sets in the car.
Cellular V2X technology can extend the radius of the digital shield by allowing vehicles, people and the infrastructure to directly share information, even when the hazard is beyond the reach of their own surround sensors. Every vehicle user profits from real time information from other vehicles. It allows the driver to make better, faster and more informed decisions in emergency situations, even if the hazard is outside the range of the vehicle's own surround sensors. Pedestrian safety is also improved because drivers get advance warning if a pedestrian is dangerously close and are able to respond faster.
The two partners are also developing a traffic jam warning system based on V2X technology. The vehicles in a traffic jam send data via cellular V2X directly to all the other road users in the vicinity – both via the conventional wireless network and direct communication technology. An alternative route can be proposed to vehicles that are still some kilometers away from the traffic jam so that they can circumvent it. Vehicles approaching the end of the traffic jam are sent a direct warning so they can reduce their speed and avoid the risk of a rear-end collision.

I've been learning Italian on this app for a few months now and I love it! The only thing that frustrates me is sometimes lessons will repeat the same phrases over and over while learning certain words, making the learning experience very monotonous. I wish there was a little more variety sometimes!
There should be a sound for when the English pronunciation is shown and not when you select the Korean letter. Also, make the translation more flexible and not literal letter-by-letter words.
Great program! Fun to do and very flexible as far as speed and intensity of learning go. Been at it for two months now and I can't put it down. And no, I'm not a natural language student. Really lousy at it actually.

The festival aims to make children in the Caribbean Netherlands aware of their rights in active and creative ways. In the afternoon, Princess Beatrix attended the 'Economy and nature in balance' symposium held by the DCNA regional parks alliance.
On the morning of November 30, Princess Beatrix visited the Washington Slagbaai National Park, which was established in 1969 as the first nature reserve of the then Netherlands Antilles. The park covers an area of 5,643 hectares and provides a safe living environment for Bonaire's protected indigenous species, including parrots, flamingos, parakeets and iguanas. In addition, the beaches are an important breeding ground for the four species of sea turtle that are native to the Caribbean. Princess Beatrix then met with rangers, researchers and staff of the Washington Slagbaai National Park.

It is 350 years since this year that famous painter Rembrandt van Rijn died. A reason for the Dutch museums to celebrate this crown year with works by the Dutch master. The kick-off of the Rembrandt Year is in The Hague on the eve of 30 January 2019: Princess Beatrix opens the exhibition Rembrandt and the Mauritshuis.

Beatrix opens Rembrandt year tonight in Mauritshuis
Princess Beatrix opens tonight the theme year Rembrandt and the Golden Age in the Mauritshuis in The Hague. In 2019 it is 350 years ago that painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (Leiden, 15 July 1606 - Amsterdam, 4 October 1669) died, which is recalled with numerous exhibitions and related events.
Various museums and cities work together during the theme year, including the Frisian Museum, the Mauritshuis, Rembrandt House Museum, the Rijksmuseum and Museum de Lakenhal.
After the opening, Beatrix will visit 'Rembrandt and the Mauritshuis', where the museum will show its entire Rembrandt collection for the first time in one exhibition, including The anatomic lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, Saul and David and his last self-portrait from 1669.
The Rijksmuseum, which in 2015 won more than half a million interested parties with an exhibition of Rembrandt's late work, also shows all works of the master from their own collection for the first time from mid-February.
Congratulations to Beatrix!
It is her birthday today, she reached the blessed age of 81 years

April 2, Dutch Princess Beatrix attended the opening of architect Daniel Libeskind's 'The Garden of Earthly Worries' exhibition at the garden of Het Loo Palace. 'The Garden of Earthly Worries' exhibition consists of four metal sculptures with a height of nearly four meters, designed by Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind. The sculptures symbolize the elements ozone, nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide. The artist considers these gases as side products of human acts that harm the nature.
April 13, 2019, Princess Beatrix visited the exhibition of the late artist Ad Dekkers, where all the models of his works are brought together, in the park of Bruns B.V. in Bergeijk, The Netherlands. At the exhibition, Princess Beatrix unveiled a reconstruction of a tile relief created in 1971 by artist Ad Dekkers, having a size of nine by eighteen meters. Adriaan "Ad" Dekkers (1938 - 1974) was a Dutch artist mostly known for his reliefs involving simple geometrical forms. The exhibition is organized by Heemschut Heritage Association. Princess Beatrix is the patron of the heritage association.

Sympathy for Ft. Hood Terrorist?
Nidal Malik Hasan killed 13 and wounded another 32 Americans. I feel that this will get blushed over in the media, so it bears repeating: Nidal Malik Hasan, a sleeper agent embedded in the United States Army killed 13 and wounded 32 Americans on November 5th, 2009, under the guise of being a trusted psychiatrist, while they were at a facility on Fort Hood preparing to go and defend the United States of America.
When Nidal Malik Hasan was Major Hasan, working as a sleeper agent in the Army, communicating and taking his orders from Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical Muslim cleric in Yemen, he woke up and shaved his beard every morning, following US Army standards and going to work.
On November 5th, 2009 he arrived at work and went on his murderous rampage, killing and wounding innocent American soldiers preparing to go defend their country; fathers, mothers, wives, husbands, all murdered by a radical Islamic terrorist.
Now that he has murdered Americans in the name of a misinterpretation of religion that goes against everything we stand for, he wants to use our criminal justice system and misguided ACLU to his liking, and is pretending that even though he spent years in the United States Army, waking up and shaving every morning like the rest of us, now that he has murdered our brethren the act of shaving is suddenly against his religious principles.
Unfortunately, the justice in this case has been blinded by the political correctness/craziness revolution, and instead of justice for the 13 murdered and 32 wounded innocent Americans, our "justice" system has chosen to favor the Islamic Terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan, throwing the judge out for requiring that he follow the standards he swore to uphold and obey (and followed for years) when he entered the United States Army.
This is eerily similar to the case of Lt. Col Matthew Dooley, an Iraq combat veteran, who was fired from his position as a teacher at the National Defense University's Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Va. He was teaching a course which was approved by the University titled "Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism," and when a student got his feelings hurt because the honesty of radical Islam was being taught, Lt. Col Dooley was fired and given a performance review to end his career.
This has gone too far; playing the bait-and-switch to take the attention off of this radical Islamist Terrorist and murderer by trying to shift the attention to the judge? Cancelling a class and ending a decorated war veterans career because someones feelings were hurt that the truth was being taught? I can't even express the disgust that this makes me feel for our justice system.
I pride myself on trying to make the world a better place for my son and daughter, but seeing things like this in the news makes me realize that we're going headfirst in the wrong direction, and groups like the ACLU and politicians who don't have the spine to stand up for what is right are the ones steering us off the cliff.
This is America, and we need to spend out time defending innocent, tax-paying, law-abiding, God fearing patriotic Americans, not radical Islamic Terrorists or people in a war college who don't have the intestinal fortitude to hear the truth about the most violent "religion" on the planet (I'm not saying Islam is violent, but rather those radical Islamists who have hijacked and distorted the religion for their own vile wishes and deeds).
God bless America, put this scum in front of the firing squad and get it over with.


I am very honored and delighted to announce that the new issue #91 of Robert Giron's ArLiJo features two of my translations of Mexican short fiction: Agustín Cadena's "The Coco" and Rose Mary Salum's "Someone is Calling Me."
A tip of the sombrero to you, my fellow El Pasoan, dear Robert Giron!
Thank you for your long-time support for literary translation!
As a resident of Mexico City, and a writer and poet myself, I treasure the opportunity to translate my Mexican contemporaries and bring them to English language readers. And I have plenty to say about all that: See "Translating Across the Border," my talk for the 2015 American Literary Translators Association Conference panel on "Translating the Other Side."
At present, I am working on The Water that Rocks the Silence, a collection of linked short stories, El agua que mece el silencio, by Rose Mary Salum (three more to go for a complete first draft); a short story by Araceli Ardón (advanced draft); a second short story by Ignacio Solares (rough draft); and poem by Alberto Blanco (draft). Fingers crossed, later this year, I may have some news about a collection of stories by Agustín Cadena.
Would that the day had more hours!

National disability advocate Jenn Wolff offers tips on building personal resiliency through advocacy and mindfulness, along with ways you can get involved!
Jenn Wolff is a national disability advocate and the 2011 Ms. Wheelchair Iowa. In this article for the CURE NATION, she shares why it's important to get involved with advocacy on the local level and how mindfulness can influence a person's resiliency!
Jenn began using a wheelchair in 2003 when she had a spinal tumor due to an ependymoma, which left her paralyzed at the T-10 level.
Jennifer is an Occupational Therapist, and a member of the Iowa Occupational Therapy Association. She primarily works with people who have upper extremity injuries, post stroke, some dementia and pre-driving skills.
After her first surgery and initial paralysis, Jenn was inspired to pursue an education to help others.
Pictured above: Jenn met with James R. "Jim" Langevin during one of her many advocacy visits to Capitol Hill. Langevin is the U.S. Representative for Rhode Island's 2nd congressional district, serving since 2001. Langevin, a Democrat, is the first quadriplegic to serve in Congress. Langevin is also the first quadriplegic speaker pro tempore appointed during the 116th Congress.
For many that dedicate their lives to working in the disability community, a life-altering personal experience is often the motivator. Jenn's battle with cancer, the following spinal cord injury and associated therapy were the catalysts for her becoming an OT, but that was just the beginning of her involvement in the disability community.
A few years after my second surgery," Jenn explains, "I was trying to get my first wheelchair replacement and was really struggling with how it was going. I didn't understand how I wasn't able to get a wheelchair that my therapists and vendors were saying was best for me. I mean, as an OT, I realized the equipment I needed was more expensive, but I also understood that in the long run it would be more cost effective and better for my body. I got really interested in why it was even possible for this to happen to people." That challenging experience, and the knowledge that so many others were going through the same thing, set Jenn on her mission to make a difference.
In 2010, she attended her first conference in Washington D.C., which was known at the time as the Continuing Education and Legislative Advocacy Conference (CILA). There, she met Ann Eubank, formerly of the User's First advocacy group, and Jenn says it was a life-changer.
Later, when Ann stepped down from her leadership role at User's First, she contacted Jenn to ask if she would be interested in continuing the effort, which had by then become a part of the United Spinal Association. Jenn took the position and helped build it into the successful advocacy program it still is today. Most recently, though, Jenn Wolff has been focusing on advocacy on the local level in her home state of Iowa.
Jenn wants you to remember that persistence and resiliency is a key part of success in the advocacy world because change is not quick or easy.
Resiliency (or resilience) is defined as the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties.
For Jenn, the program is also about reducing self-judgement!
It's easy to judge our own abilities (or perceived lack there of), our state of health and so much more. Jenn's hope is to help people – her patients and the disability community in general – to build up a tolerance to stress using the tools that mindfulness teaches.
Photo: Recently, Jenn joined a group of home medical equipment activists to teach the finer points of communicating effectively with people who depend on medical supplies and durable medical equipment.
Cure Medical appreciates everything advocates like Jenn Wolff do for the disability community, and it's one of the many reasons we have the Cure Commitment – a promise that we donate 10% of all net income back to spinal cord injury and central nervous system research in pursuit of a cure for paralysis.
Recently, Cure Medical and Ms. Wheelchair America announced a new partnership to help financially support Ms. Wheelchair America programs at the national and state level. The goal of the partnership is to uplift savvy women like Jenn Wolff as they rise up through the Ms. Wheelchair professional development programs.
"This partnership will help Ms. Wheelchair America continue to empower women of achievement though leadership, advocacy and education." says Shelly Loose, President of Ms. Wheelchair America when asked about Cure Medical's support of the organization. As an exclusive sponsor, Cure Medical will financially support the mission of the Ms. Wheelchair America organization so state titleholders can continue to advocate for the more than 56 million Americans living with disabilities.

God's purpose is not to get us to heaven. Rather, it is getting heaven down to us—right here on earth. We were made from the earth, for the earth.
Revelation talks about a new Jerusalem here on earth, where we will rule and reign with Christ.
That's why Jesus wants us to practice heaven right here and right now; more of the kingdom of God, more power and more freedom in the Holy Spirit, and more love. When we preach and practice the kingdom of God here on earth, we will experience the power of the supernatural in our midst.

FOTL PROVIDES THE BEST FILLING AND PRESENTATION SOLUTION
Rigid box specialist Pollard Group has launched a unique pack solution that enables luxury drinks manufacturers to maximise on-shelf branding and presentation opportunities while providing a much more cost-efficient and automated boxing operation.
The FOTL (Front Opening, Top Loading) box, which has now been patented, enables a bottle to be placed automatically into the box from above. The innovation from Pollards was devised the meet the growing demand for front opening boxes while meeting the need among production departments for a method of filling that was more efficient and less costly. Previously bottles had to be placed into a front opening pack by hand, whereas the new box means it can now be filled on existing lines.
The FOTL boxes are delivered to the drinks company already packed into branded cases of six, meaning that the filled boxes are then ready for immediate onward delivery to retailers. In the retail outlet, the box is opened at the front, allowing the bottle to be showcased on-shelf to enhance its presence and appeal.
The FOTL box incorporates a vacuum forming in the base into which the bottle sits. The lid has a similar recess to hold the bottle firmly in place throughout the distribution chain. The lid also features protrusions on each side that lock into slots in the top of the box to prevent the lid from being removed, ensuring that the box can only then be opened from the front in the retail environment.
"The front opening box has revolutionised the presentation of luxury drinks in recent years, enabling companies to maximise the appeal and premium image of the bottle, which is a major part of the brand experience and selling process," explains Peter Conner, Pollard Group's Commercial Director. "However, production lines are geared up to fill boxes from the top.
"We therefore worked on a solution that could combine the best of both worlds, and in so doing have been able to satisfy the sometimes contradictory demands of production and marketing."

Using Incentives to Change How Teenagers Spend Their Time
The Effects of New York City's Conditional Cash Transfer Program
| Pamela Morris, J. Lawrence Aber, Sharon Wolf, Juliette Berg
This report presents the results of an innovative study designed to provide a more detailed understanding of how parents and their teenage children were affected by the Opportunity NYC-Family Rewards program, a comprehensive conditional cash transfer program. The three-year program, launched by the Center for Economic Opportunity in the Mayor's Office of the City of New York in 2007, offered cash assistance to low-income families to reduce economic hardship. The cash incentives were tied to activities and outcomes in children's education, family preventive health care, and parents' employment, in the hopes of increasing families' "human capital" and reducing their poverty in the long term.
An evaluation by MDRC of the first two years of the Family Rewards program, published in 2010, found that it had positive effects on families' economic well-being and mixed effects on children's education, family health care, and parents' employment. For example, while the program did not affect school outcomes for younger children, it substantially boosted the achievement of a subset of older children who were better prepared for high school when they entered the program in the ninth grade. How the program affected teenagers and their parents is the focus of this study, which has been embedded in MDRCs continuing core evaluation of the program. This report addresses key "pathways" that may underlie any effects of the program on teenagers (such as changes in the way teenagers spent their time) as well as outcomes that were not targeted but that the program may have affected (such as teenagers' mental health, aggressive behavior, or substance use.)
Findings show that the Family Rewards program:
Changed how teenagers spent their time. For the subgroup of academically proficient teenagers, it increased the proportion of those who engaged primarily in academic activities and reduced the proportion who engaged primarily in social activities;
Increased parents' spending on school-related and leisure expenses and increased the proportion of parents who saved for their children's future education;
Had no effects on parents' monitoring of their teenage children's activities or behavior and did not increase parent-teenager conflict or teenagers' depression or anxiety;
Had no effects on teenagers' sense of academic competence or their engagement in school but substantially reduced their problem behavior, such as aggression and substance use;

This study of families with teenage children who participated in Family Rewards adds important information that will enhance understanding of the results of the core evaluation of the program. The next report on Family Rewards will examine the results after three years of the program; a final report will include two years of postprogram follow-up.
