Please note that this discussion of Joanna Wiebe's Unseemly Education of Anne Merchant contains critical examination of huge spoilers. Don't read further if you want to maintain the mystery. Read further if you want detail on how this otherwise promising debut fails disappointingly.
Because people apparently just can't get enough of exclusive New England prep schools with questionable secrets, Joanna Wiebe enters the fray with The Unseemly Education of Anne Merchant, first book in a YA trilogy. As the title indicates, our protagonist, Anne Merchant, begins her junior year of high school at a boarding school on a Maine island, Cania Christy. Anne quickly detects that there's something rotten in the state of Denmark Maine. Sneaking around, illicit friendship with the only teen girl in the island town, sinister headmasters, attraction to an apparently unaging boy, and supernatural entanglements ensue.
Wiebe has a great concept here [SPOILERS!] — namely, that this boarding school contains dead students who have been given a two-year lease on life through the sacrifices their parents have made to Mephistopheles [yep, the demon best known for dealing with Faustus]. The Big V for which all students vie so ardently is not, as Anne and readers first think, the status of valedictorian, but the status of vivification, or, more precisely, revivification. One student per class wins the chance at returning to full life. One achieves this goal by embodying one's PT, or life goal, to perfection — ruthless, cutthroat competition and betrayal encouraged. This set-up makes for a fascinating moral sfumato in which no one is pure — or even good, really — and everyone justifies their selfish actions with a passion born of desperation.
Not only does Wiebe have a promising idea rolling around in here, but she also has a pretty snappy style. Anne's first-person narration, while initially confused, contains a significant amount of incredulity, curiosity, and sarcasm at the increasingly weird developments in her life. Sure, she makes assumptions and mistakes, plus she suffers the requisite crush on the aloof bad boy, but her Alice-like determination to make sense of her off-the-wall experiences allows her to be a sympathetic proxy for the reader. The plot remains goofy and over-the-top, but at least someone [i.e., Anne] besides the reader realizes that.
High school qua purgatory could be awesome in the right writer's hands, but I'm sad to report that Wiebe can't quite hack it…hence my subject line. The intriguing premise, combined with a kind of silly plot and a rather smart-mouthed protagonist, can't hold up against the venomous misogyny and racism undergirding the whole project.
Virulent misogyny shows up first in the portrayal of four popular girls, a clique headed by one Harper. Harper and associates wear expensive, fashionable clothes and accessories. They carefully style their hair and makeup. They pursue sexual activities with fellow male students [because they're all heterosexual, of course] and young teachers alike. A minor character tells Anne that all four of them have the same PT — to "maximize their desirability" — so they band together so that they can keep a close eye on each other, the better to compete against each other. Though I have summarized Harper and associates in factual, value-neutral terms, Wiebe, through Anne, describes them solely with negative judgment. In her eyes [and words], they're nasty, bitchy, slutty skanks, in contrast to Anne, who is a virgin who has only kissed a corpse. Madonna/whore dichotomy, anyone?
Virulent misogyny — that is, transmisogyny — shows up second in the discussion of the tuitions Anne's fellow students' parents have paid so that they can attend Cania Christy. In other words, every student's parents have promised something significant to Mephistopheles so that their children have a chance at living again. Harper's dad, for example, promised to indelibly pollute the world's water with twelve oil spills for which the cures would be worse than the oil. Pilot's father confessed all his adulterous affairs in public, ruining his political future. Someone else's dad becomes homeless. And someone else's dad [don't remember who — cant be arsed to check], a famous director, had a "sex change." Yep, you heard that right — Wiebe puts a gender confirmation surgery in the same category as irreparably ruining the ocean and torpedoing one's promising career. In other words, the other "tuition payments" with which she associates the director's "sex change" involve humiliation, damage, and general misery. Thus gender confirmation surgery becomes, by extension, wretched and disgusting.
Wiebe's portrayal of gender confirmation surgery makes no sense. For a significant number of trans people who choose medical and/or hormonal transitions, these bodily changes can promote a sense of relief, happiness, and satisfaction. However, Wiebe equates gender confirmation surgery with ecological devastation and adultery, thus characterizing medical transitions as negative, disruptive, and revolting. Wiebe's portrayal of gender confirmation surgery intimates that trans women are pathetic and icky. No, actually, it's transmisogyny that's icky.
Finally, along with all Wiebe's horrible misogyny and transphobia comes the racism, exemplified by Abenaki teen Molly Watso. As the only townie Anne's age, she is forbidden to fraternize with Anne because of a secret deal her ancestors made with Mephistopheles. Molly talks to Anne anyway, giving her some clues on their mystery surrounding Cania Christy, encouraging her to spy and investigate, even lending her a glammy ensemble for a masque at the school. Just as it looks like Anne might not be the Sole Exceptional Virtuous Woman on an Island of Evil Whores, she inadvertently contributes to Molly's death, the horror of which prompts Anne to really get to the bottom of the secrets at her school. Yes, folks, apparently the Native American was only there to facilitate the white heroine's enlightenment.
Speaking of Abenakis, I have more general problems with Wiebe's portrayal of Indians, as they behave in culturally inappropriate ways. For one thing, they're making deals with a distinctly Christian demon, Mephistopheles. In the context of Wiebe's story, where the Abenaki explicitly state that they follow supposedly Abenaki spiritual ways, why the hell are they dealing with Mephistopheles? It would make more sense for Abenaki characters who follow Abenaki religious beliefs to deal with a being from their spiritual beliefs. But no — Wiebe's "Abenaki" behave just like all the WASPs, messing around with some demon from Christian mythology who should, by all rights, be irrelevant to the "Abenaki" characters' existence.
Beyond this logical failure in her depiction of "Abenaki" characters, Wiebe writes them doing things that are just plain wrong. In the worst offense, the Indians perform cremation ceremonies for the deceased, including Molly. My cursory research indicates no cremation involved in traditional Abenaki funerary practices. See, for example, the detailed description of memorial customs of the Cowasuck Band of the Pennacook-Abenakis; these practices include either burial of the corpse in the ground or the placement of the corpse on an exposed platform to decompose in the woods. There is no cremation whatsoever. The only thing anyone is burning is offerings of tobacco. Again, I'm not arguing that all Abenaki everywhere practice burial and that no Abenaki ever practices cremation, only that burial of the dead seems to be an Abenaki cultural institution in a way that cremation is not. This laziness typifies Wiebe's larger problem of bigoted shorthand — in which sexually assertive girls are automatically evil, gender confirmation surgery is reprehensible and gross, Indians are glorified local color without any authenticity, and any discerning reader is ultimately distracted by the author's problematic assumptions.

How Alabama, Nick Saban will impact SEC hot-seat coaches in 2017
Written By Bill Bender
@BillBender92

Nick Saban didn't want to talk about the finished product after No. 1 Alabama annihilated Ole Miss 66-3 on Saturday.
Through two weeks, Alabama has outscored two SEC opponents by a score of 125-3 and is the front runner barreling toward a fourth straight SEC championship and berth in the College Football Playoff.
BENDER: If Butch Jones goes, who replaces him?
"I really don't care how many points we've scored in the last four games. I only care about how many points we score in the next game," Saban said via al.com. "I don't have any feeling about how many points we've scored in four games, or five games or however many SEC games we've played. I'm really worried about how many we score in our next game and how we stop the next team we play. That's the focus, on what we need to dominate next."
How they beat Bama: Ranking each SEC opponent's chances
Mercy, as in none.
That statement doesn't take long to unpack. Saban doesn't care about points, has no feelings and is worried about the next conquest. For the rest of the SEC coaches, there's constant uncertainty about job security.
Saban is a coach- and program-destroyer. He has done that on multiple occasions. Alabama indirectly - and in some cases directly - will affect the next round of firings and hirings within in the SEC. Just look at the current composition of the conference.
The "safest" coaches are former Saban assistants in Florida's Jim McElwain, Georgia's Kirby Smart and South Carolina's Will Muschamp. They will be on the sideline for those schools in 2018.
Vanderbilt's Derek Mason and Ole Miss' Matt Luke just felt that 125-3 buzzsaw. Mason is a hot candidate to move to a bigger job, and Ole Miss likely will come open. Missouri's Barry Odom and Kentucky's Mark Stoops avoid Alabama this year, but neither is a serious threat to the throne. They are probably safe.
That leaves the six SEC coaches left on Alabama's schedule, a six-pack hot seat rotation that includes (in order) Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin, Arkansas' Bret Bielema, Tennessee's Butch Jones, LSU's Ed Orgeron, Mississippi State's Dan Mullen and Auburn's Gus Malzahn. Those schools combined for an 18-10 record in September.
Malzahn and Mullen aren't on the hot seat, but that could change through October. Auburn could just as easily lose to LSU, Georgia and Alabama in the second half of the season. Mississippi State, a preseason sleeper pick, lost the last two games by a combined score of 80-13.
Sumlin watched the Aggies blow a 44-10 lead to UCLA. Jones lost to Florida on a Hail Mary before getting blown out by Georgia 41-0. Bielema lost two September games. Orgeron lost to Troy.
All four of those coaches are on the hot seat, and they just happen to be the next four coaches on Alabama's schedule.
MORE: Same Ole problems for Ed Orgeron at LSU
These SEC schools are going to face a hard choice, and it's not an easy one when you consider the amount of money on some of the buyouts. Do you fire these coaches and hire a replacement in a landscape that lacks home run candidates? What if Chip Kelly says no? What if the coach you're targeting chooses another conference - like Tom Herman did by picking Texas over LSU last year?
The other options involve the waiting game. Wait another year for a more suitable replacement. Wait and see if another Saban disciple is worth it. And wait, of course, for Saban to retire. He can't coach forever. Can he?
Until he leaves the SEC in peace (or pieces), the landscape of the conference isn't changing. Alabama is dominating opponents one at a time, and the grip appears to somehow be getting tighter with each passing victory. Saban says he has no feelings, but this team is playing angry, violent, bitter and better than ever.
That's the grim reality heading into October for SEC coaches and teams. Alabama will have a wide-ranging impact on those six programs left on the schedule. Perhaps one does the impossible and knocks off the Tide, but more than likely will be adding points to that absurd 125-3 total.
Saban isn't stopping. He's thinking about what he's going to dominate next.
The rest of the SEC better read his statement again. Remember that before firing these coaches: The next one will have the same problem. It's a tough question to answer and an even more excruciating waiting game. The product, however, is the same:

Q: Is there a way to disable the save states on PPSSPP menu? I want to hide or disable the save states on the PPSSPP pause menu since I don't use it so I'd rather have the interface clean of it. I've checked out every section in the settings and can't seem to find it. That or I'm just blind.

A: Based on what I can tell from a quick look at the code for the pause screen, specifically the GamePauseScreen::CreateViews() function, it doesn't seem like there's a conditional check that would remove the save states feature.
That said, if you're feeling adventurous, you could try removing the entry from the pause screen and recompile.  That may be more trouble than you're willing to go through, though :)

Is there prospect of biomass energy?
Issuing time:2018-12-01 19:30
Facing the quick change of the world and emergency of new technology, new products, I will fall behind if I don't learn any more, because I am older than most of you, therefore, the main goal of my visit is to learn. The theme of the meeting is so attractive than the energy can be planted, not explored. Indeed, human being has entered the age of new energy. There are many ways to divide human being development. With energy as standard to divide human being development, human being use fuel as energy before eighteen century.
Human being enters the age of industry when the fossil fuels become main energy and the productivity of human being gets huge improved.
After two hundred years, the fossil fuel becomes very expensive and people begin to worry about whether the fossil fuel will be dried up, at the same time, there is more greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. I come to WuHan from GuangZhou by high speed railway, which is authorized by me when I am in charge of railway system. Although I have a happy journey by high speed train, the weather is terrible. It seems that the problem of frog and maize is very serious not only in BeiJing but also in many places in the whole country.
Now climate change becomes more and more serious political issue, and there are many discussions about sustainable development. Many governments have promised to cut emission; besides, JinTao Hu, the former president of China has promised that the non-fossil energy will account 15% of the whole energy structure in China, while, in the 12th five years plan, the target is 11.4%, which means the non-fossil energy will account 11.4% in the whole energy structure.
In the APEC meeting, after the discussion between JinPing Xi, president of China and Obama, president of US, Chinese government promised that the emission of greenhouse gas will come to peak in 2030. It is the first time that we make promise to the international community that the account of non-fossil energy will be up to 20%, 15% higher than 2020. We get rough calculation that the change will happen in the field of waterpower.
In 2014, China's hydropower installed capacity is up to 1000 kWh, which accounts 18% of the whole electricity. The hydropower accounts more than 9% in the field of primary energy, which means hydropower accounts most in the field of non-fossil energy.
In the recent years, wind power, nuclear power getting quick development accounts little in the field of energy. Although the international community highly praises the wind power of our country, while, the wind power only accounts 2% of the whole energy structure. The non-fossil energy accounts less in the primary energy, such as solar accounting 0.6%, biomass energy accounting much less, nuclear energy accounting much less than wind power. Therefore, hydropower accounts most in the field of non-fossil energy.
The core issue of energy safety is oil, while other kinds of energy such as electricity, coal are not fuss. Last year, our country imported three hundred million tons of crude oil, which accounts almost 60% of all oil of our country. If we can produce crude oil from biomass, it makes great contribution to the issue of energy safety. The group meeting organized by JinPing Xi stresses the oil safety and oil storage.
Two group meetings organized by JinPing Xi mentioned energy issue, which shows that the leaders of our government focus on the energy safety.
When I work in the government, I do something about the full utilization of biomass, which is not successful. Mr Li said that they have tried to make alcohol from corn in five provinces. Later somebody said that China is lack of grain, then, it is not practical for China to make alcohol from grain. Then, we make oil from alfalfa, which doesn't produce good economy interest.
We also tried to make oil from crop straw. We have built a factory in JiLin province, which produces a lot of straw crops. While, the operation of the factory is full of difficulty. Besides, we also plant barbados nut, which we want to use to produce oil.
Recently, I went to an industry institute in TaiWan, where people produce butanol from biomass. Butanol can be used in the air field. Besides, we can also produce oil from Apatococcus lobatus studied by ENN group, which can't make profit right now.
Mr Li said that we can make biogas from biomass, which was carried out before. The main components of biogas are hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. The biomass can produce methane gas under proper temperature.
The background of the meeting is that KaiDi company makes a equipment of producing hydrocarbon from biomass. The hydrocarbon is full of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. It can work in theory that we can make oil from hydrocarbon with proper catalyzer.
People will doubt any innovation whether it can produce economy interest, we can transform the technology to productivity. KaiDi company made a lot of introductions to many departments in Beijing. Generally, I think that the quantity of oil from biomass is too small, which can't meet the demand of WuHan city.
I told you another story. When DiWen Zhu comes to China, I discussed with him about the effectiveness of CCS. Obviously, he firmly supports CCS. I said that China produces nine billion and eight hundred million tons of carbon dioxide every year and the whole world will produce million tons of carbon dioxide. What will happen to climate even if you capturing one hundred million tons of carbon dioxide. Therefore, you had better plant trees to absorb carbon dioxide.
There are many things can be planted in the desert such as salix mongolica, red willow and so on. WenBiao Wang, a businessman, plants salix mongolica in the northern part of BeiJing city. While, there are many places proper for the growth of tree and grass in China. Many people try to do CCS, while, they get little achievement.
The full utilization of biomass can get many achievements at the same time. Recently, I visit US and find out that many Chinese businessmen come to US to do research about biomass energy such as WeiGui from ZhongXing company, who plants red sorghum in the northern part of China, GuangChang Guo from FuXing company, who does research on biomass energy and Atas doing research on solar energy. They plant switchgrass imported from US to make alcohol and so on. It will have bright prospect if they do research on them with the combination of biomass energy.
It is not successful for us to replace corn with crop straw to produce alcohol, although it has many kinds of raw material such as cotton straw in XinJiang and red willow. If these raw materials can be fully used, it will make great contribution to the development of energy.

ORCSDcleanslate busy voter guide: Election Day is Tuesday, March 14 in Durham, Thursday, March 16 in Madbury and Saturday March 18 in Lee. Vote for Denise Day and Michael Williams for school board (there are two candidates for two seats) and YES on articles 3 through 7. If you want football in the district, vote NO on article 8. If you do not want football in the district, vote YES on article 8.
Lee voters, please vote NO on Lee article 5, to keep Lee an SB2 town. A YES win changes Lee back to town meeting governance, as opposed to the current form, where there's a Deliberative Session in February to amend the ballot, and then articles are voted on on Election Day in March.
STORM UPDATE, Monday 7:02 pm There's a big snow storm predicted for tomorrow. As of now, Accuweather has it starting in the morning, 8 am. The NH Secretary of State's position is that postponing the election may subject the results to legal challenges. Two of our three towns have decided to postpone.
Durham says their elections are ON! The police are offering to drive folks to the polls Tuesday. That seems iffy to me given that the major question on the Durham ballot is about an upgrade to the police station.
Madbury says their election will be Thursday, 11 - 7:30, with town meeting commencing at 7 pm.
Lee has postponed, moving their election to Saturday, 7 am to 7 pm.
ORCSD has cancelled school for Tuesday due to weather.

Dennis Harrington is retiring after 49 years as an educator. He recently achieved his two long time goals of getting Moharimet a cafeteria and getting full day Kindergarten in the district. Dennis is of course greatly loved in the community. I'm sure there will be an event or two celebrating his career before he retires in July.
This is my annual guide to the 2017 Oyster River School District election. I call it a biased guide because in addition to (I hope fairly) explaining each warrant article, I tell you how I'm going to vote, which is the biased part. It's going to be relatively brief this year as I don't have a lot of time.
Election day in Oyster River is this Tuesday, March 14th. If you're a US citizen over 18 who lives in Lee, Madbury or Durham, you can just show up on Tuesday at your town's polling place and vote. Like almost all elections in New Hampshire, same day registration is available. So even if you've never voted or registered to vote in New Hampshire before, you can vote Tuesday. It's easier if everyone brings a state photo ID and if new registrants also bring proof of address (a utility bill), but under New Hampshire's voter ID law you can vote even if don't bring those.
Durham (Tuesday): Oyster River High School 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Lee (Saturday): Public Safety Complex 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Madbury (Thursday): Town Hall 11:00 a.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Article 2 elects two of seven school board members to three year terms. Only two candidates are running, but please mark their ovals. Denise Day has been on the board for three years, and has done a wonderful job. She currently serves as Vice Chair. Michael Williams (website) ran three years ago and lost to Denise and Sarah Farwell. Sarah isn't running for reelection, so now's the time to thank her for her fantastic service. Michael is a great candidate, an engineer with a Masters from Stanford and three young children, two at Moharimet and one soon to enter PEP.
Here is the guild questionaire answered by both candidates. Unfortunately due to technical difficulties there's no video of Candidates Night. I was there along with a few others. There were actually about as many people in the camera crew as audience members, and it looked like they were recording with multiple cameras, so I don't really get how this failed. The plan was for the Candidates to rerecord their answers without an audience, but I haven't seen anything posted yet.
Article 3 ratifies the teachers' contract. The raises are in the 2% range. I haven't been able to find the contract online to get more details. The board has been doing a good job keeping the raises at about the cost of living. I'm voting YES.
Article 4 asks the voters for permission to put $200,000 into the Benefit Stabilization Fund. This fund is used in some years offsets some of the increase in retirement costs, as the state continues its trend of shifting more retirement costs to local districts. I seem to recall we're using it this year, so a YES win sort of cancels that out. I'm voting YES anyway.
My pet peeve is the "No amount to be raised by new taxation." We always see this in articles that ask for permission to take money from the fund balance, which is the amount raised and appropriated but left unspent at the end of the year. A NO win lowers the amount asked of taxpayers by $200,000 compared to a YES win, so this "no amount..." boilerplate language is pretty misleading. The fund balance is not a magic way to pay for things that doesn't cost the taxpayers anything, despite the language.
Article 5. We built the field, so we don't need to Track Fund anymore. The three dollars in it goes into the general fund. I'm voting YES.
Article 6 continues the housekeeping on the various funds. This is just moving money around, and doesn't cost taxpayers anything. I'm voting YES.
Article 7 is the big enchilada, the $43.8 million budget request. The board met its goal of keeping the tax impact to under 3.25% in this very difficult budget year.
If NO wins, we get the default budget of $44.0M. In past years, the default budget replaced Fund 10, which was confusing. It looks like this year they changed it to make it less confusing, which is confusing me. The main point is the default budget is larger than the operating budget by $200,000, indicating that the board kept a lid on unnecessary increases. In other words, if NO wins, your taxes will be higher than if YES wins. I'm voting YES.
Article 8 was originally a proposal to add a football program to the high school. It was added to the ballot by citizen's petition. It only takes 25 signatures to get an article on the warrant. The original proposal had a budget of $35,000, only $5,000 of which would be raised from taxes. The athletic director determined that $64,000 would be a more realistic budget for first year costs, not including money needed to start a new girls' program, which would be necessary to satisfy Title IX without cutting other boys' sports. The AD also said the program would require $37,000 annually to operate in years two through five, though the original article only funded the first year. Mainly because of the budget, the board had indicated they even if the article passed, a football program would not be implemented. Such a decision is within the board's prerogative.
At Deliberative Session the article was amended by anti-football folks to read like it does. It doesn't matter much; either way we aren't getting football anytime soon. This is more a poll of voter sentiment. Vote YES if you don't want football, and NO if you do.
See you at the polls on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday. Vote Day and Williams!

Asylum and international protection
Equality and anti-discrimination
Civil liberties in the digital age
Torture, stepchild adoption, Roma and migrants – the UN reproaches Italy
Asylum and international protection - Immigration - Justice - LGBT Rights
CILD staff 28 March 2017
CCPRdiscriminationhuman rightsimmigrationItalyprisonsRomatortureUNUN Human Rights Committee
After assessing the degree of implementation of fundamental human rights in Italy from 6th to 10th March, the UN Human Rights Committee has published today its recommendations.
At the 119th Session of the Human Rights Committee, CILD presented three shadow reports: firstly, a general report concerning all the themes covered by the Human Rights Committee; secondly, a report that was drafted jointly with Antigone and the World Organisation Against Torture and focuses more specifically on prisons and the justice system; lastly, a third one, written in collaboration with Privacy International and relating to privacy.
Issues that concern the Committee
In these reports we highlighted some key issues that the UN Committee echoed in its recommendations.
Firstly, the Committee expresses great concerns with regard to the incompleteness of the national legislation on anti-discrimination, the question of Roma and Sinti, and the need to regulate as soon as possible the stepchild adoption in order to complete the legislation on civil unions.
Furthermore, with respect to justice, the Committee stresses the need to immediately introduce the crime of torture in the Italian legal system, as well as a specific code of conduct for law enforcement agents, and provide for the compulsory use of identification tags. The question of prisons is also examined, especially as far as the prison overcrowding and the over-representation of foreigners in prisons are concerned.
With regard to immigration, the Committee has highlighted that it is necessary to repeal as soon as possible the qualification of illegal immigration as a criminal offence. In addition, the use of immigration detention should be limited, making sure that detention is only applied as a measure of last resort. Finally, Italy should refrain from carrying out the collective expulsion of migrants, a practice that blatantly breaches international law. The latter recommendation implies the need for Italy to review its bilateral immigration agreements, starting from the much-criticised agreement with Sudan. In fact, the Committee stresses the case of the forced repatriation of 48 Sudanese nationals from Ventimiglia (a case that is currently pending before the ECtHR). The Committee also focuses on the themes of reception – which is considered inadequate and undoubtedly in need of improvements – and unaccompanied foreign minors.
Finally, additional recommendations concern the right to privacy and the right to access information.
"We hope that the recommendations of the UN make Italy understand that the priority is the respect for human rights"
"The recommendations of the UN Human Rights Committee remind us how much work still needs to be done in our country in this field" says Patrizio Gonnella, President of the Italian Coalition for Civil Liberties and Rights – CILD.
"Italian civil society has long hoped that certain measures are adopted, such as the stepchild adoption, the introduction of the crime of torture, the overcoming of Roma camps".
"Instead of expanding rights, the Government is reducing them through the decrees on immigration and security. Real security – Gonnella concludes – is achieved through rights".
Here is the complete list of the recommendations.

Heathkit IG-62 Alignment Generator Used with TV Game Unit #1, 1967
This ordinary piece of test equipment played an important role in video game history.
In 1966, while working for Sanders Associates, Inc., engineer Ralph Baer began to look into new ways to use television, focusing specifically on interactive games. Baer had received his bachelor's in television engineering and was familiar with television test equipment that could meet his needs while keeping cost down. This Heathkit IG-62 Color Bar and Dot Generator, which was used to adjust television sets, provided the key circuitry needed to create an image on a television screen. This allowed Baer and his colleagues to devote their time and attention to develop a way for anyone to be able to move that image.
In 1967, Baer created the first of several video game test units. Called TVG#1 or TV Game Unit #1, the device, when used with an alignment generator like the Heathkit IG-62, produced a dot on the television screen that could be manually controlled by the user. Once they were able to interact with the television, Baer and his team could design increasingly sophisticated interfaces and programs.

Just a few more things on the Explorer/IE shell section, then I'll work with it for about a week, see if I want to tweak it anymore and it should be ready.


Although the average diameter of most ropes is getting smaller, the standard length is growing, and Metolius has responded by making their tried-andtrue rope bag in a "high capacity" version. For day trips to Clear Creek Canyon and weekend trips to Shelf Road, both in Colorado, the bag easily fit an 80-meter rope and full rack of 15 quickdraws. The tarp covers 52" x 58"—plenty for 80 meters of flaked rope with room to spare for standing and wiping shoes before climbing. Flake the rope onto the tarp, then roll the tarp into the bag— quick and easy.

The Topeka School
Pub: October 1, 2019
Farrar Straus and Giroux
From the award-winning author of 10:04 and Leaving the Atocha Station, The Topeka School is a tender and expansive family drama set in the American Midwest at the turn of the century. It follows Adam Gordon, a senior at Topeka High School and a renowned debater; his mother, Jane, a famous feminist author; his father, Jonathan, an expert at getting 'lost boys' to open up; and his fellow senior, Darren, a loner and, unbeknownst to Adam, one of his father's psychiatric patients. Deftly shifting perspectives and time periods, The Topeka School is the story of a family: Jane's reckoning with the legacy of an abusive father, Jonathan's marital transgressions, the challenge of raising a good son in a culture of toxic masculinity. It is also a riveting prehistory of the present: the collapse of public speech, the trolls and tyrants of the New Right, and the ongoing crisis of identity among white men.

East Coast Premiere / Post-screening Q&A with Director and Cast
Lead Cast: Angel Amaral and Manny Perez
LA Latino Film Festival, Best Director Award, 2013.
Set against the backdrop of Bush's War on Terror and Barack Obama's rise to the presidency, "Greencard Warriors" follows 14-year-old Angel (assured newcomer Angel Amaral), an undocumented Latino, as he struggles to find his place in an increasingly violent world. Dangling the promise of naturalization papers, the military seems to offer Angel's family a chance for a brighter future if they send his older brother into the U.S. Army. But with his protective eldest brother gone, Angel is left to the designs of a local street gang – whose members object to his developing romance with an African-American teen (Paige Hurd) – and the family must deal with the grim consequences of the choices they have made in pursuit of the American Dream. The film's excellent cast includes Manny Perez ("La Soga," "Bella"), Vivica A. Fox ("Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Kill Bill"), and Adrian Bellani ("Moneyball")

Una trappola per Jerry (Designs on Jerry) è un film del 1955 diretto da William Hanna e Joseph Barbera. È il novantatreesimo cortometraggio animato della serie Tom & Jerry, distribuito il 2 settembre 1955 dalla Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Trama
Tom sta progettando una trappola per topi articolata come una macchina di Rube Goldberg. Una volta completata disegnando un topolino, se ne va a dormire sognando il successo e la fama che otterrà. Mentre Tom dorme, il topolino disegnato prende vita e va ad avvisare Jerry della trappola preparata da Tom e lo porta a vedere il progetto. All'improvviso però anche un gatto disegnato sul progetto si anima e inizia ad inseguire i due topolini; dopo diverse peripezie lo colpiscono con dell'acqua facendolo sciogliere, dopodiché lo risucchiano con una penna e lo rinchiudono nella boccetta di inchiostro bianco. Nello stesso momento Tom si sveglia e allora Jerry e il topolino modificano di nascosto un numero del progetto e immediatamente il topolino torna al suo posto. Tom si mette così a costruire la trappola, che Jerry fa scattare tirando un pezzo di formaggio attaccato ad un filo; dopo il complesso funzionamento della trappola, una cassaforte appesa dovrebbe cadere addosso a Jerry, ma invece finisce per cadere addosso a Tom, uscito allo scoperto. Jerry scappa via e Tom esce fuori dalla cassaforte e poi commenta: "Accidenti devo aver fatto qualche errore di calcolo, non c'è alcun dubbio!".

Edizione italiana
A dare le voci sono stati Franco Latini che, oltre a doppiare Tom alla fine del cartone animato, leggeva anche il cartello e la battuta era: "La migliore trappola per topi, disegnata e costruita da Tom il gatto"; Isa Di Marzio invece presta la voce al topo disegnato del progetto quando sveglia Jerry.

Curiosità
Uno spezzone di questo cartone ricompare nel cartone animato del 1967 Piano di cattura (Shutter Bugged Cat), diretto da Tom Ray, che è un parziale remake dello stesso corto.
Il gatto e il topo del progetto ricompaiono nella sigla iniziale della serie animata Tom & Jerry Tales.

Australian student visa was previouslyseparated into several categories depending on the education level that the international student applies for. Later, on 1st July 2016, the nation has abridged the visa subclasses and introduced a simplified student visa framework (SSVF). As per the new SSVF, all the study visas came under a single platform or a class (subclass 500).The new SSVF means that the international students are no longer assigned an immigration risk assessment level since the same framework is valid to all the students.
You can apply for your student visa using your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) or admission confirmation letter provided by the university or the intuition registered under the Commonwealth Register of Institutions of Courses (CRICOS).The international students can apply for their Visa either by creating an online account on ImmiAccount in the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) or by visiting the nearest Australian visa office. To know what are the necessary documents that you must need to submit along with your application, then check the document checklist tool on the DIBP website.
English proficiency requirement: IELTS, TOEFL iBT, Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic, and Cambridge Advanced English (CAE) test score are valid. It depends on the University, which test they consider as the English proficiency test as the essential criteria for the admission and the minimum score essential depends on the course. Mostly, universities consider IELTS.
Certificate of Enrolment (CoE) [Application/admission confirmation letter] from the applied university/institution.
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC): All the international students must have covered health insurance before applying for aAustralian study visa. The country generally accepts OSHC, which can either be obtained from the applied university or else you can directly procure it from the 5 OSHC providers approved by the Australian immigration department (BUPA Australia, Medibank Private, Australian Health Management, Allianz Global Assistance and nib OSHC). The cost of the OSHC does vary depending on the provider and it also depends on the duration of the cover you apply for.
Police clearance certificate/character verification certificate, showing no criminal records. Some students may be even asked to complete a Character Statutory Declaration Form.
Proof of financial ability to meet the cost of living (tuition fees, travel, living expenses and your return air ticket) which is around AU$19,830 (~US$15,170) for a year. If your dependents (spouse and children) also accompany you, then you need to show the proof of covering their cost of living too, for this you must have at least AU$60,000 (~US$45,850) a year.
Health/Medical Certificate: International student must submit medical and/or radiological check-up records from a doctor who is approved by the Australian immigration department.
Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement: It was introduced in November 2011 to state the actual intention of the international student to stay in Australia for their studies and some students have to attend an interview at the nearest Australian embassy. The managerial team at the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) consider the factors like applicant's history of immigration, the value of the course the applicant has applied for, considering their future career objective, the potential circumstances for the applicant in Australia and any other relevant matters.
If you have managed all the necessary document according to the Australian student visa requirements, then apply with the online 'ImmiAccount' application system. You are supposed to apply for the Visa at least 12 weeks before your institution's orientation date.
Currently, there are 5 Assessment levels in the visa application process and these levels are based on the country of origin, the field of study, the university you are studying at, and the study level [based on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) standards]. If the applicant is placed in the higher assessment level then the person has to submit more documents before obtaining an Australian student visa. The assessment level generally depends upon past compliance with immigration standards and other parameters that determine the immigration risk.Your Australian student visa application will be assigned a Transaction Reference Number (TRN) by the Australian Government.
Usually, it takes 4-5 weeks to process the application once it was filed. If the duration of the course you have applied is more than 10 months and completes by mid of the December (Australian academic year), then your visa will expire on 15th of March of the corresponding year. However, if the extent of your course is more than 10 months and finishes in between January and October, then your visa will be valid for 2 months following the completion of the applied course.

There is the special subclass of visa called Temporary Graduate (Subclass 485), international students are eligible for this visa if the duration, of course, is less than 2 years or the qualification is below that of a bachelor degree (diploma/trade-level certificate).
Students can work in Australia for a period of 18 months and up to 4 years, depending on their qualification.
It does not confine the number of hours of work.
The applicant must have a valid student visa in the last 6 months and should fulfill all the requirements like Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), English proficiency and study in Australia.
The qualification of the applicant must be in the field which is in demand since the country has a dearth of skilled employees in various fields listed on the Skilled Occupation like teachers, engineer, doctors, and scientists. To qualify for this visa the applicant has to qualify the skill assessment in an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List.
Visa application requirements are subject to change with time, to get latest updates and for further information on work rights in Australia, you can visit the Australian Government - Department of Immigration and Border Protection website.


Criminal trial calendars in Georgia are frequently "on-call" calendars. During on-call calendars, a set trial date is not provided by the Court. You will be called for trial with a certain period of notice – usually 2 – 8 hours.
Medical witnesses really, really value their time, and they usually want to be paid as experts for their opinions.
Medical witnesses are generally very reluctant to appear and testify on behalf of anyone other than the State. Criminal defendants, in particular, are usually not the people that they want to help.
As a result, criminal defendants were frequently unable to introduce medical evidence. There is a solution to this problem now.

"Mobile First" – this is something you've been hearing more and more these days. Many companies – especially the media – have embraced this lingo, following right on the heels of the "digital first" revolution. All of these "firsts" can certainly get confusing and reacting to them all at the same time (or in close overlap) – which is what is happening in the industry – makes it even harder to find any horizon. Nobody said it would be easy forever.
Henry Blodget has no idea what the concept of "mobile first" means. Taking stock of the newsroom, asking a few of his readers what they consume his content on today is akin to Ford inventing a faster horse. Blodget blurs the idea of offices moving away from desktops and laptops with the way his customers (30% of his audience and growing) and his FUTURE customers will consume his content.
So what is this concept that has emerged as "mobile first" and how does it impact Blodget's audience and staff? Let's take a quick look at the changes these devices have brought on.
The "mobile first" movement started over a decade ago when the laptop marched into the office. It changed the way and where we worked. Sales calls became interactive and digital, work came home with us and the "collaboration age" began.
PIM's like the Palm and the IPac moved us further down the path to mobile independence. Schedules and contacts and task lists were synched and portable for really the first time.
The Smartphone has brought those pieces together and then some. Email, conference calls, SMS and pervasive connectivity with new innovations like Skype, FaceTime and many others have made the office redundant for a growing minority of workers today.
These devices have also reshaped our concept of a job. For the second time in this generation's life, technology has caused a ripple in the work-space-continuum and we are moving ever so slowly away from the centralized company structure of the 1970's and 80's. Think of this as the business equivalent to the tectonic shifts that ripped apart Panacea to form the continents we inhabit today.
Mobile is habit forming isn't it? How many times have you looked at your phone while just reading this? Did it vibrate? Is there a blinking light? Do you feel compelled to look? According to Charles Duhigg you are addicted. In his New York Times best seller, "The Power of Habit", Duhigg states the obvious that one way to develop a habit is through repetition and these devices have conditioned us to respond at their beck and call.
Funny enough, aren't we also our own customers? The habits we have formed are also the same habits as millions of others have formed. And what of the habits of the next generation where very few will be subjected to a mouse and keyboard growing up. My kids are 6 and they mostly use a tablet and watch videos on YouTube. Yours?
How will this generation consume business? Where will they consume business? When will they consume business? It will be in short attention deficit riddled bursts while standing in a line or sitting on a bus or watching something on TV or trending on YouTube.
What they aren't doing today is sitting behind a big screen and seeking out your message. What they aren't doing right now, Henry Blodget, is getting their news from Business Insider, they are using Circa or Prismatic or Zite or Pulse. Knowing this, how do you plan on finding your next-generation ad consumer?
Mobile first is part business design, part experience design and part interaction design.
For the second time in 20 years businesses have an opportunity to extend beyond their physical address. The web brought ecommerce and with it came industry-shifting ideas that made Amazon and eBay and Google. Mobile is this on Red Bull. Designing a business for this landscape is about deeper conversations with existing customers, deep dives into data analytics, millions of direct one-to-one marketing initiatives and much much more. This is NOT business as usual and not about fitting ads onto a smaller screen.
Consumers are more fickle and more brand agnostic than ever before. Resting on the brand for many will mean certain obsolescence. Those that do mobile well will create a deeper connection through the experiences offered. Think about how MLB is extending their audience through their app and content ecosystem. How long before musicians start doing similar things at live concerts? Products are purchased, consumed and discarded. Great experiences are revered and passed on.
Mobile is not only about being "fat finger" friendly. The way we all interact inside of a mobile experience is crucial – something mobile can reclaim from the often painful experience today's web has become. Just because we have the big screens and real estate doesn't mean we should omit good design but we have. We've just "added another button" so many times that a good interactive experience is celebrated instead of being the norm. Designing with mobile first means getting to the heart of what the user needs to get done.
The last huge piece to this idea is the shift in the way revenue will be earned and this will be painful for laggards and luddites like Blodget. They hold on to their way of doing things, skewing the trends in their favour and completely dismissing what is really happening. Make no mistake, change for them will be hard during this time. Big companies will fail, little companies will succeed and the only difference during this mobile revolution between the two is intent.
Rob, excellent article. I left the newspaper industry 10 years ago for this exact reason. Trepidation in the publishing world in regards to the future of information consumption.
I do wonder what causes the almost blatant blinders that give reward to industry stalwarts and rarely fleshes out innovation?
Do you think that there will be a follow up on this discussion, perhaps with a valid opposing point of view?
Thanks very much @jahmaicherry:disqus – I don't get it either. I understand that you have to defend what you've got but, in doing so, you can't blatantly disregard the steam train of hurt that is rushing towards you.
To Henry's credit, he did respond to the article on Twitter which should have been the start of a good conversation until he said "There's no reason for a new business model to appear, at least not in news/content. It's extension of same." – WOW!


NICE has rejected Roche's breast cancer drug Perjeta in patients recovering from surgery on the grounds of expense and efficacy.
England's watchdog has recommended that Perjeta is not used for the treatment of post-surgery patients with early stage HER2-positive breast cancer who are at a high risk of the disease returning. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer cells have too much of a protein called HER2 on their surface.
The recommendation does not affect treatment that began in the NHS before this latest guidance was released.
But while NICE's evaluation has dealt Perjeta a blow, its first draft decision is not final is out for consultation until July 6. The appraisal committee will meet again to consider further evidence.
At that meeting, the committee will consider all comments and will prepare a final appraisal document to be published later this year. Subject to any appeal by those consulted, the final appraisal document may be used as the basis for NICE's guidance on using pertuzumab for adjuvant treatment of this particular type of breast cancer in the NHS in England.
Perjeta costs £2,395 per 420ml vial and it is available to the NHS at a discount, the details of which are confidential. It is administered intravenously for one year over 18 cycles maximum, and means patients must spend more time in hospital than they do with the standard of care (trastuzumab), which is administered subcutaneously.
Also, trial results suggested that pertuzumab offers only a small incremental treatment benefit when compared with a placebo.
European regulators approved Perjeta (pertuzumab) in this new indication earlier this month.
The approval was based on the drug being used in combination with Herceptin (trastuzumab) and chemotherapy in post-surgery patients with early-stage breast cancer that was likely to recur. High risk of recurrence is defined as cancer that is lymph node-positive or hormone receptor-negative.


This is what I spent my free time on last Saturday. I tried to change my own photography to pen and colored wash. I use program Adobe Photoshop CS3. My first painting mouse ^___^.
wow that is so beautiful! thanks for sharing!
Pretty impressive. Not sure how you did it? But beautiful.
I did not know could do that! Awesome!
That's really wonderful - I use photoshop elements for some things but mainly saturation, unsharp mask...etc. I don't really do 'art'... this is fabulous!
That is a very cool process. Really looks like a painting. You're going to have a lot of fun with that!

What Does Pittsburgh Pirates Do?
Escotto has a lot of raw power, but struggled at a young age in Greensboro and was sent down to Bradenton again. The jury is nevertheless out on this deal, and it mostly relies on Peguero living up to his prospective. With no that, this appears like a really bad return for one of the best players the Pirates had. But there is a place on each and every roster for a guy like that. You want your backup catcher to be a defensive specialist far more than them becoming poor defensively but have a strong bat. Delay has worked with numerous of the Pirates' long lengthy-term pitchers ahead of.
The Bruins' NHL Winter Classic jersey is inspired by a wide variety of Bruins looks through the years. The huge bold gold stripes on a black base make this sweater unmistakably Boston. There are touches of Vintage White – a light beige colour meant to evoke aged textile as if this garment was found in trunk deep in the back of an old skate shop – in the embellishments. The public nature of the trade request damages Pittsburgh's leverage, but the Pirates are nonetheless in a position to demand a considerable trade package. Along with Reynolds's resumé, he still has three years of group manage and does not turn out to be a no cost agent until 2026. If a group wants to acquire Reynolds, they'll most likely have to have to clear a really higher bar and assemble a package featuring multiple top prospects and young players.
Marisnick is on the 60-day injured list immediately after undergoing thumb surgery earlier this season. While the veteran outfielder was playing his typical powerful defense prior to the injury, he was struggling offensively with just a 14 OPS+, 12 wRC+ and a 25% strikeout rate. Along with the Pirates and Mets, a variety of coaches and players across the Majors eschewed their day-to-day digits in favor of Clemente's quantity. In Toronto, the Rays fielded a lineup that was composed totally of Latin American-born hitters — a first in Significant League history — all of whom have been wearing No. 21.
Owen, who played at the University of Southern Indiana, mentioned he regularly improved via college, and the help of his family helped him believe in himself. Marcus Johansson was also pumped to uncover out about the new uniforms. The Caps typically rank among the leaders in jersey sales in 2021, their red Reverse Retro was No. 1 on NHLShop.com. The however-to-be-revealed Reverse Retro, which is rumored to be black. When Milwaukee picked him up off waivers in 2020, Vogelbach produced an instant influence. In 19 games, he batted .328 with four property runs and 12 RBIs.
After he scuffled last year, Keller looked to be a non-tender candidate immediately after the 2022 season. Alternatively, he's laid claim to a spot toward the front of subsequent year's Pirates rotation and figures to see his salary shoot up by millions of dollars by means of the arbitration course of action. Get in touch with it a sweeper, a whirlyor a "Hand of God slider." Basically, it is a sideways slider that benefits from seam-shifted wake, which offers it deceptive movement provided its spin. In September, no sweeper thrown 100 instances matched the 11-plus inches of sideways movement that Keller's version had.
Ke'Bryan Hayes followed with a grounder to second baseman Alejo Lopez, who bobbled the ball before throwing to shortstop Matt Reynolds for a single out. Reynolds' relay was a fraction late to get the speedy Hayes at initial base. By Significant League Baseball record-maintaining rules, Cincinnati's accomplishment is not an official no-hitter mainly because its pitchers didn't go at least nine innings.
But right after that, a clause in his contract permitted him to pursue other solutions if he was no longer one of the game's 3 highest-paid players. That's how he ended up in Baltimore on a $65 million deal that was undone by an arthritic hip. I saw Josh on opening weekend at a tournament in Cary, N.C. There had been a few teams down there we were watching and he got the ball in Game 1 for Long Island. He's a seriously excellent pitchability guy who throws a ton of strikes.
The New York Mets have officially announced the signing of catcher Omar Narvaez to a two-year, $15M deal. The Cincinnati Reds signed OF Wil Myers to a one particular-year deal worth $7.5M. His deal could possibly reach $9.5M, but that is dependent on his playing time. The Chicago Cubs signed catcher Tucker Barnhart to a two-year, $six web link.5M deal. The deal contains a club alternative for 2024 and potential incentives of up to $3M. The Los Angeles Angels have officially announced their two-year, $17M deal with utility player Brandon Drury.
When the Yankees and Dodgers meet up, the history crawls via the screen at you. Pittsburgh Pirates reliever David Bednar pitches against the Los Angeles Dodgers through the ninth inning of a baseball game Monday, Might 9, 2022, in Pittsburgh. Bañuelos has been a pretty very good reliever considering that arriving in Pittsburgh, and a great left-handed reliever is an uncommon commodity. If the Pirates feel Bañuelos can be a high-leverage reliever and a set-up man, they must take benefit of it. It is not normally you get a good quality, high-leverage reliever off the scrap pile. Newman, who had been the longest-tenured Pirates' player, created his debut in 2018.
Rick Reuschel's exceptional 68.1 career WAR is proof that he was an underappreciated ace. Erickson preferred all-black socks and spikes – and painted Ortiz's cleats to match. Ortiz hit just .209 as Harper's backup but became Erickson's individual catcher – getting praise from about the league for his handling of Erickson and other Twins pitchers. The 1991 season, even so, would be a different story. Minnesota signed totally free agent pitcher Jack Morris to anchor the rotation, and Scott Erickson – who had gone eight-four with a two.87 ERA as a rookie in 1990 – blossomed into a 20-game winner in 1991. With LaValliere a lefty-hitting catcher, Leyland suddenly had a platoon that looked viable.
His curveball was also an above-average pitch with a minus-ten run value. The Pirates signed Quintana to a 1-year, $two million deal that turned into a massive bargain last offseason. He completed 2022 with a two.93 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 165.two innings more than 32 starts in between Pittsburgh and St. Louis. Noda, 26, was superb for Triple-A Oklahoma City last season, hitting .259 with 25 homers, 90 RBI, 86 runs, 20 stolen bases and a .870 OPS in 135 games. Important League Baseball held its Rule five draft on Wednesday, a possibility for players at an MLB level but possibly with no a all-natural path to a frequent role with their present group to get selected by a further squad.
In the 130+ year history of the Pittsburgh Pirates, the group has just about completed it all. A single factor the group had never ever performed although was hit three residence runs in the 1st inning of a game. Saturday afternoon was frustrating for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Just after failing to produce considerably offense against the worst pitching staff in baseball and losing Roberto Pérez to a hamstring injury, the Pirates had been defeated by the lowly Reds 9-2. "At the moment, I didn't even think I hit the ball that difficult," stated the 23-year-old Cruz.
Pittsburgh became a baseball town once again and devastated the fan base to a equivalent level as 1992 and a "what if" scenario if issues have been unique. The reality does not adjust but the 2015 group had minimal flaws and was an emotional thrill each game. St. Louis (100-62), Pittsburgh (98-64), and the Chicago Cubs (97-65) concluded the greatest season in division history and 1 of the greatest top rated-3 finishes baseball has ever seen.
For this guy in his early-to-mid-40s, that hits just ideal. Ten jerseys, two teams, an unfortunate uneven split in between the two, and 1 opinion–mine. Teams that have to have a beginning pitcher but do not want to spend at the top of the market will probably take a tough look at Quintana. Mike Rizzo says Thad Ward will be stretched out in spring education like starters, most probably will devote the season as a multi-inning reliever. Beneath are the draft final results and a breakdown of the leading players moved.
