Over the years the treacherous waters and rough terrain of Antarctica have claimed numerous lives either in the form of shipwrecks or air crashes.
Antarctica is located at the southernmost part of the Earth's continent. It covers an area of over 5.4 million square miles. Approximately 98% of the continent is covered with ice averaging 6,200 feet in thickness. Antarctica is characterized by several hazards and experienced several disasters in the past that have claimed tens of lives. The disasters have either been man-made such as fires and shipwreck or have occurred naturally such as avalanche, glacier, and volcano. The disasters have happened on land as well as in the waters surrounding the continent. Some of the deadliest disasters to ever occur in Antarctica are outlined below.
Wilkes Station was one of the research stations set up by the US during the 1957-1958 International Geophysics Year, which included several nations in a variety of research fields with emphasis on Polar Regions. The US government turned over the station to the Australian government in 1959. In 1961, a contingent of 24 men arrived at the Wilkes Station with the majority being Australians (there were only five Americans). On November 8, 1961, P2V Neptune landed at Wilkes much to the delight of the people who had been in the camp for 10 months without interacting with anyone except one another. The plane had arrived from Mirny. The following morning the plane was to take off to McMurdo. It was fully loaded with fuel on the wings making the plane heavy. The plane burst into flame as it took off killing five of the nine people on board.
Philippi Glacier is a 15-mile glacier flowing from the east end of the West Ice Shelf. The glacier was named by ANCA for Emil Philippi who made a scientific observation in the vicinity of Gaussberg. On February 17, 1986, Ilyushin 14M plane departed the Molodezhnaya Ice Station in Antarctica for the Mirny Ice Station. However, unexpectedly strong headwind caused the plan to run out of fuel. The plane crashed into the slope of the glacier in whiteout condition while attempting an emergency landing. All the six occupants of the plane were killed with the plane damaged beyond repair. Initial investigation suggested that the crash was as a result of low visibility and the control of the plane into a terrain.
The Ross Ice Shelf is one of the largest ice shelves of Antarctica covering an area of about 188,000 square miles. The ice is several miles thick and appears about 160 feet above the surface of the water. Most of the ice shelf floats and covers a large portion of the Ross Sea and the entire Roosevelt Island. On February 3, 1966, a LC-47 plane that was being piloted by Harold Morris exploded due to intense heat after its wing tip was caught as it tried to land. The landing was made difficult by the poor visibility that characterized the Ross Ice Shelf on that mid-morning. The whole plane except the tail was consumed by fire with all the six members on board perishing.
Cape Hallett is a snow free area in the Antarctic. It was the location for the joint research station, Cape Hallett station, between the US and New Zealand during the International Geophysics Year of 1957. The research station was manned until 1964 when a major fire broke out at the station destroying most of the property within and around the station. However, on October 16, 1958, C-124C Globemaster II carrying a crew of 13 people crashed into the 3,200 feet mountain near the Cape Hallett Bay with 7 occupants dying on the spot. The crash was blamed on navigational mistakes that were made during the airdrop mission over the Antarctic.
The Jenny was an English Schooner and a subject of a unproven legend. It is alleged that Jenny became frozen in an ice barrier on the Drakes Passage in 1823 and was only discovered in 1840 with the bodies aboard preserved by the cold in the Antarctica. The ship is said to have left its home port of Isle of Wight in 1822 and was discovered frozen in ice in the Drake Passage by Captain Brighton in September 1840. The captain of the ship had entered the log until January 17, 1823, the time the ship is estimated to have frozen, with the last call by the ship at Callao near Lima Peru. Seven bodies were allegedly found frozen in the ship.
Eight tourists, a pilot, and a co-pilot were killed on New Year's Eve of 1985. The eight were American tourists who had intended to spend New Year's Day at the Chilean Air Force Base in Antarctica. The twin engine of the Cessna Titan 404, which had carried them from Punta Arena, crashed on Nelson Island killing everyone on board. Initial reports indicated that the plane lost altitude and crashed as it climbed to give the tourists a panoramic view of the area. Other reports suggested that the pilot made an approach to the landing strip but could not land it because of the fog. The pilot informed the base that he would be making another approach one more time before the communication was lost.
Livingston Island is a South Shetland Island situated on the Antarctic Peninsula. It is a site of one of the popular plane crashes in the history of Antarctic. On September 15, 1976, an Argentine Navy aircraft flew on a reconnaissance of the area in order to survey the sea ice condition of the Drakes Passage. The plane crashed in poor weather on the island which was uninhabited. All 11 members of its crews perished. While the crash was detected almost immediately, an attempt to rescue the bodies was abandoned in January 1977 following the loss of one of the helicopters and the crew in the area. However, Livingston Island still remains a major tourist destination today.
A South Korean trawler called Jeong Woo 2 sunk suddenly without warning off the Antarctic on December 27, 2010, killing up to 22 people. Two other Korean ships fishing in the area rushed and picked about half of the crew who had managed to take the lifeboat. Five of the crew members died immediately with 17 missing. It was hoped that the 17 had scrambled to the lifeboat but they could not be found after a whole night search. They were presumed dead as it was not possible to survive past 30 minutes in the icy water of Antarctic without protective gears. It was suspected that the ship might have been hit by either an iceberg or a strong wave.
Air New Zealand Flight 901 was a scheduled sightseeing plane that was in use from 1977 to 1979. The plane left Auckland and took a few hours criss-crossing the sky over the Antarctic continent before returning to Auckland. On November 28, 1979, flight TE-901 flew into Mount Erebus on Ross Island killing 247 people including 20 crew members and 247 passengers. Initial investigations suggested that the accident was as a result of human error but a commission formed after the public outcry reported that the disaster was as a result of the changes made on the coordinates of the path of the flight the previous night before the disaster and the failure of the crew to be informed of the changes. The disaster remains New Zealand's deadliest peacetime disaster.
San Telmo was a Spanish gunship that was launched in 1788. In 1819, the ship commanded by Captain Joaquin de Toledo set out for Callao, Peru to reinforce the colonial army that was fighting the independence movement in Spanish America. However, the ship could not withstand the severe weather in the Drakes Passage. San Telmo eventually sank in September 1819 killing 644 soldiers, seamen, and officer. The wreckage of the ship was found months later by some sealers who were visiting Livingston Island. An island, San Telmo Island, located off the north coast of Livingston Island was named after the ship.

Man United News, Man Utd Transfer News
Anders Lindegaard to sign for Manchester United – but what does it mean?
November 22, 2010 Pat	5 Comments
With reports suggesting that Lindegaard had undergone a medical on Friday, it all looks to water tight for anything to now fall flat. A fee of around £3.5m has been floating through the newspapers like wildfire and the man who has the reputation as being the next Peter Schmeichel could be playing for United very soon.
The confusing part is this. Manchester United, when informed about the news of Peter Schmeichel's retirement in 1999 did not really know where to look. They tried a host of keepers in the hope that one of them would simply click, none did. Barthez did very well, but at a time that Manchester United were very much the domestic masters with just one or two blips courtesy of Arsenal.
We don't want to list the amount of keepers we went through but what we can say is that Manchester United eventually found their number one, chosing the experienced Edwin van der Saar from Fulham. One would agree that his penalty save won us the Champions League final against Chelsea in 2008 and he has saved us so many points over the years it would be impossible to work it all out.
The fact that Manchester United are probably going ahead with the purchase of Lindegaard, who is currently 26 years of age does generate some serious questions.
Is Lindegaard's acquisition to cover the pending retirement of Edwin?
Does Lindegaard have the experience to be Manchester United's Number One?
If Edwin continues for a few more years, will Lindegaard stay?
Many had felt that Sir Alex Ferguson would be looking for perhaps a slightly older keeper, capable of keeping the defenders in front in check. That will remain to be seen. A man with the reputation as the next Schmeichel will want to be in complete control at the back and there will be a period where communication and leadership will play a part.
As always, and as Manchester United fans, we will trust in Sir Alex Ferguson's judgement, at 26, should Linegaard be the real next "Schmeichel" then we will be in for some fantastic years ahead.

John Roberts you are obviously not a real united fan a real united fan has no doubt and has complete and utter confidence in united look at city they spent £3000000000 in the last two seasons and they are still not better than united
Shyam says:
I think it was a bit premature to brand Lindegaard as replacement for Vander saar. He must prove himself worthy of such a reputation. We have the likes of Berba and Valencia who were signed for millions and yet had little impact to the way we played. I really pray at least Lindegaard may not end up like that.
Ojara Walter says:
Please have a little faith in the youth. Its true we cant always have exciting talents coming through the youth system like Giggs & Beckham did. The other "duds" like Nicky Butt, won us the treble 1999 finals. Roy Keane will be the first to appreciate the role these "duds" played in 1999.
Rafael Da Silva has outplayed all world class opponents he has met at his tender age. Why did Frank Ribbery get him sent off in CL if he was enjoying playing this "dud"?
The list of "duds" to watch out for include but not limited to Tom Cleverly & Welbeck. Ask Alan Hansen…. "you will never win anything with kids"
Its because of your impatience that you fail to see the future clearly. Otherwise the future is bright.
Cobus Bosman says:
I think he will do just fine we dont have to spend millions like City and still have no results we have have proven young players that are doing the job did you give Chichirito a chance when we singed him….mmmmm. And look what player he turned out to be have faith in the Gaffer he knows what he's doing.
John Roberts says:
It means Utd feeding on crumbs. We can't even afford a decent, proven keeper!! No right back, no midfielder and with duds like Berba, Park, O'shea,Gibson, Evans there's really no hope. 2nd round at Champs Lge is perhaps the most expected. I don't see us winning the lge either with this team.

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver N'Keal Harry, the 32nd overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, is now under contract.
The Patriots and Harry agreed to terms on a four-year contract worth $10.1 million with a $5.3 million signing bonus, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported, via a source informed of the situation.
I know this is how it works but....committing $15m to the guy. Wow. Crazy how a guy who has never played an NFL snap gets $5.3M for the work he did in college. Who says college players don't get paid. ;)
Okay, I know. It's how probably 32-64 of them get paid and it by no means is enough all around but it's still a lot of money for zero experience.
PS: Is anyone else following the off-season? Not seeing much here.

I'm following my Cowboys, but I just don't see much to talk about yet. I surely don't know how well the draft picks and personnel moves will work out.
Author: n8larson
I am. Here are a few ... lights:
- Doug Baldwin and Kam Chancellor were released by Seattle, and both are expected to retire for injury reasons. They've added D-line depth (Ziggy Ansah, Al Woods). Here's a little highlight reel on Kam: http://www.espn.com/blog/seattle-seahawks/post/_/id/31024/th...
- Patrick Peterson got suspended today for the first 6 games of the 2019 regular season(PEDs). http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26761850/sources-cardinal... I found it funny that someone said, "they can't win without Peterson." They can't win with him, either.
- Tampa hired Bruce Arians as their new coach. That's a pretty big thing, even if he's a Class I a-hole.
- Foles to Jacksonville is kind of a big deal, but Jacksonville very much isn't, so nevermind.
- Teams on the rise: Jets (LeVeon Bell, CJ Mosley), Raiders (buncha draft picks), and Browns (OBJ). It'll be exciting to see whether the Jets can rise above Miami for the right to say they're sort of technically almost as good as New England. KC also made some big moves, though I think they way overpaid for Frank Clark and Tyrann Mathieu. Then again, a SB win 9 months from now, striking while the iron is hot for Reid and Mahomes, could stop any such questions.
- https://www.xfl.com/ (heads up LA, St. Louis, Seattle, Houston, Dallas, NYC, Tampa, and DC)
- It's all about Trevor vs. Tua in college football, apparently. I'm just hoping UW can repeat in the Pac-12 (and that the conference doesn't suck wind so hard again), which would mean that Jacob Eason hasn't forgotten how to be a quarterback, and has someone to throw to. The Husky D is pret-ty deep, so that's not a concern. My prediction, though, is that they fall off a bit and someone from the south half finally wins.

Baldwin announced his retirement in the form of a letter to his younger self which he tweeted. Interestingly, he gave shout outs to Tavaris Jackson and Darrell Bevel but not to Russell Wilson or Pete Caroll.

Between the end of the season and the first preseason game, I have a slight interest in the draft. Otherwise, I have better things to do with my time.
Author: LakeEffect
Yes, I'm watching; usually the off-season is the only time anything interesting happens if you're a Browns fan.
This year feels different, though. OBJ gets all the headlines but the Browns also added Olivier Vernon and Sheldon Richardson to the D-line alongside Myles Garrett. They added Kareem Hunt on offense and executed an uncharacteristically strong draft. The Browns might be - dare I say it? Good.
But they have a tough schedule. They have to stay healthy (I'm looking at you OBJ) and they have to prove they can beat the Steelers and Ravens which is still a tall order. So it's just cautious optimism at this point.
In Pittsburgh, the Steelers are still formidable in spite of maybe taking a step backwards personnel-wise. Ben is not getting any younger or fleeter-of-foot. In Baltimore, will the Lamar Jackson experiment work? The timing is right for the Browns to become relevant, we'll see if they can actually pull it off.
N8, I'm curious what the sentiment is in Seattle. From the outside, it looks like a lot of changes other than Russel Wilson. They've parted ways with a lot of former stars, do you feel they've replaced them?
In Tampa, Bruce Ariens is a good offensive coach but Tampa had good offensive numbers last year and it didn't do them a lot of good.
Agree about Jacksonville - on paper they should compete for the division but they love to underachieve.
Not sure what to say about the Jets or Raiders. Both look like dumpsters full of flammables looking for a spark to me but I'm probably being too harsh.
Curious if KC can repeat their success with a modified roster.
Curious how Big Ben and Tom Brady age another year.
Not Nate, but I'll chime in. Sherman, Chancellor, and Earl Thomas, all on the same team at the same time was like catching lightning in a bottle. IMO, Earl Thomas especially was (maybe still is) a one in a generation player. Those guys have not been replaced and probably can't be. But, secondary seems to be decent. Not great, but good enough. Overall, Seattle has bet towards letting a veteran player go too soon, rather than over paying him in his declining years. That seems to be working thus far, but Thomas and Sherman still could have some great seasons ahead of them, albeit at high prices. I personally would have signed Thomas at any price, even with his injury, but that's me.
LBs: I've long felt Bobby Wagner was hugely underrated, and it is great to see that he's finally being recognized. I was a little surprised they re-signed K.J. Wright for the "not overpaying" philosophy I mentioned above, but I love K.J. Wright. The guy has football smarts in spades. Very glad to see him back. Mychal Kendricks seems to be a productive fit, assuming he can come back from his legal troubles.
DL: Losing Frank Clark was a blow, but he got an amazing pay day (worth it IMO, and the Hawks probably could not have afforded him), and the Seahawks have had good success finding journeyman DL players who are productive, and that's the pattern they followed this off season.
OL: Kind of a horror show, as always. Part of the problem, IMO, is that Wilson likes to step back in the pocket, which causes the pocket to collapse. Last season he did a better job stepping up in the pocket, which made the OL look better. We'll see. Still a question mark here.
WR/TEs. I've long felt the Seahawks WRs were underrated. Losing Baldwin was a blow, but they have some depth at this position. Last year, Will Dissly was a surprising breakout at TE until injury ended his season, and there's some depth at TE as well.
Special Teams: Signed pro-bowl kicker Jason Myers, which ended the horror show for the last two seasons at this position, and have the best punter in the league. So ST looks solid.
TL;DR The Legion of Boom is gone and it isn't coming back. There is reason for cautious optimism for the D-line. The O-line can't get much worse. The WR/TEs will probably be pretty good. Special teams will probably be better than last year.

Not a lot of gnashing of teeth around the water cooler... solid draft I think. DK Metcalf is supposed to be the real deal, and I think a new slot/underneath receiver with good hands will emerge to fill Baldwin's role, but that because that person won't have Baldwin's skills or the trust of Wilson, TEs Dissly and Dickson (and RBs) will catch more passes than last year. But there is definitely no shortage of field-stretching talent, with both Tyler Lockett and Metcalf around.

Wright for the "not overpaying" philosophy I mentioned above, but I love K.J. Wright. The guy has football smarts in spades. Very glad to see him back.
Physically, KJ Wright is the Richard Sherman of LBs: fast, smart, and VERY long. Sherman was very underrated as a run defender, while Wright is very underrated as a pass defender. He covers a lot of ground and knocks down a lot of passes. Agree about Wags and Kendricks. As I've written before, that meathead down in Carolina steals a lot of Wagner's DPOY votes every year.
OL: Kind of a horror show, as always.
This one we disagree on. After picking up Mike Iupati to start at LG, Seattle declined to pick up the 2020 option on Germain "1st and 15" Ifedi, and the OL looked much improved last year, especially when DJ Fluker was in for Ifedi. There are better role players and better chemistry forming, and Brian Schottenheimer's much stronger focus on the run game took substantial pressure off Wilson compared to the 2016 disaster, when DangeRuss accounted for all but 1 of the team's offensive TDs and *should* have run away (almost literally) with the MVP. There is still no team that needs any one player more than Seattle needs Wilson, and it's not even close to close to close. I'm thinking MVP means "of the league" rather than "of the team". But I digress.
Speaking of the OL, one area not covered is RBs: deep pool, despite the loss of Mike Davis to the Bears. Chris Carson's the man (247/1,151 last season), and I think Rashaad Penny showed the requisite chops to succeed when he gets the opportunity.
So, optimism up in South Alaska for sure... Good takes from syke6, as usual.

KJ Wright has some type of ESP when it comes to sniffing out screen plays. He somehow just knows it will be a screen and he breaks it up. It is uncanny.
There were rumors that the Hawks were going to move on from KJ this year for the usual reasons, youth, cost, coming off injures, etc. Kinda made sense. Carolina supposedly had some interest. But, like you say, he is excellent in coverage, doesn't miss tackles, doesn't get fooled...I'm just really glad they found a way to keep him.
No Love for the Seahawks Receivers Dept:
CBS rated the receivers as Seattle's possible pitfall.
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-fatal-flaws-2019-tom-...
Hawks are a little thin at WR, but Lockett and Wilson have great chemistry. Metcalf is getting raves. That leaves a question mark or two, but they have Brown and Moore coming back, and some rookies. The article didn't mention Dissly or Ed Dickson at TE, both of whom are legit receivers (I thought they brought in Dissly to block. Who know he could catch passes and run away from people?).


While following the ongoing #HobbyLobby Twitter storm recently, I bumped into several Tweets by the Arizona Taxpayer Action Committee. (I have no idea how things like this get into my Twitter feed.) What caught my eye was that Goldwater Institute and Center for Arizona Policy documents were linked to the Tweets and former Arizona Legislator and Medicaid-expansion denier Frank Antenori (@FrankAntenori), @SonoranAlliance (Blog for Arizona's evil right-wing twin), and @GodCountryFam reTweeted all of these.
AZ legislators were warned against voting for Obamacare Medicaid but chose to listen to big money from the healthcare industrial complex.
These Tweets by Arizona Taxpayer Action PAC, the Goldwater Institute, and the Center for Arizona Policy contain a few ironies, a few lies, and several right-wing dog whistle buzzwords.
Isn't corporate cronyism what Republicans are all about? Voting to benefit big business is their thing! The Goldwater Institute says that Medicaid expansion is a bad idea because it will "line the pockets" of hospitals. You'll remember that hospitals are businesses, and they have been taking it in the shorts with uncompensated care for years. Since when does the Goldwater Institute promote the idea that making money is a bad thing? Goldwater wants hospitals to continue to work for free.
Irony #2: Legislators who voted for Medicaid were listening to "big money" from the healthcare industrial complex.
This Tweet has no link, so there is no background data to back up this claim. Again, it's ironic to me that a political action committee (Arizona Taxpayer Action) would complain about Republicans taking "big money", since that is what PACs and politicians are all about– the give and take of "big money" and votes.
Lie #1: Because of Medicaid expansion, tax dollars will fund abortion.
That's a real whopper. The attached document from Cathy "SB1062" Herrod's Center for Arizona Policy doesn't really say that Medicaid will fund abortions, but it does scare people into thinking that clinics that also do abortions shouldn't get money for providing other services– like PAP smears, pregnancy tests, prenatal care, and other women's health services. You'll remember that the Arizona Legislature tried to defund Planned Parenthood's women's health services because a small percentage of Planned Parenthood's business is performing abortions. The 9th Circuit Court struck down that law, but obviously the anti-Medicaid crowd is not beyond twisting a few facts to get some social media traffic on Twitter. Again, why shouldn't businesses get paid for the services they provide?
Lie #2: Legislators who voted for Medicaid expansion voted to raise your taxes $739 million.
This lie is linked to a Goldwater Institute document that is chock full of conjecture and "what ifs". When Governor Jan Brewer signed the Medicaid Expansion bill a year ago, she expanded low-income medical coverage to 350,000 Arizonans. Many believe she did it not because she suddenly became compassionate for the poor, but because Medicaid expansion makes good economic sense. The state estimated $1.6 billion would come to Arizona in the first year to fund Medicaid.
Why Is the Right Fighting so Hard to Deny Medical Care to the Poor?
We all know from the Brewer Death Panel public relations disaster a few years ago that people can actually die from lack of medical care. (Can someone tip off the Goldwater Institute, Center for Arizona Policy, the Arizona Taxpayer Action PAC, Frank Antenori, and the Sonoran Alliance about this?) Brewer got a lot of bad press when she and the Legislature slashed AHCCCS. Thousands of patients were denied medical care. Transplant patients died because of Republican policy. This will happen in the red states that have chosen to NOT expand Medicaid. They have created a public health disaster.

Music Education APPG – 25 May 2021
May 28, 2021 | Our News
On 25 May 2021, Freelancers Make Theatre Work attended the All Party Parliamentary Group for Music Education, chaired by Lord Guy Black.
The main themes of the meeting were:
the ISM's survey on the impact of the pandemic on music education (Click here to read);
the Model Music Curriculum (Click here to read);
Music Technology;
De-colonising the curriculum.
Jodie Underhill of the ISM emphasised that there is a genuine cause of alarm, with 65% of primary and 36% of secondary teachers reporting a reduction in music education as a direct result of the pandemic. Reasons for this include the re-purposing of classrooms, a focus on STEM subjects, music teachers being re-deployed to other departments, and the stringent rules around singing and wind playing in schools. Beyond the intrinsic value of studying music, it builds cultural knowledge, creative skills and children's health, well-being and attainment. It should be central to the recovery curriculum but instead has been completely stopped in almost 10% of schools.
The Model Music Curriculum was presented by Music Educator Kevin Rogers, who identified that although the document has some failings, it should also be seen as opportunity to revive the conversation around fundamental policy issues which affect music in schools, for example the EBACC and the de-professionalisation of the music education workforce. He made a plea for the Curriculum to be shared with and debated by music teachers with a youth voice input before it is re-published, aiming for stronger principles and effective, quality content.
Professor Nathan Holder lead a session on de-colonising the curriculum, posing a number of important questions to all present:
How has music been affected by colonialism?
What are we teaching, and what are we learning?
Who are we learning about?
There was a positive linking up of organisations at the end of the meeting about decolonising their curriculums and programming. Professor Holder was asked to name his top three actions and said:
Make steps to change the make up of the workforce;
For the government to think about language around de-colonisation;
Do the work for yourself, listen and learn.
The Higher Education funding cuts were briefly touched on in relation to the ongoing battle between STEM and STEAM. The main takeaway from this APPG for freelancers was that the return to in-person teaching has not been a positive experience for the majority of peripatetic teachers and that urgent mental health support is needed for the workforce.

Q: What is an Endpoint? I have been reading about OAuth and it keeps talking about endpoints. What is exactly an endpoint?

A: All of the answers posted so far are correct, an endpoint is simply one end of a communication channel. In the case of OAuth, there are three endpoints you need to be concerned with:

*

*Temporary Credential Request URI (called the Request Token URL in the OAuth 1.0a community spec). This is a URI that you send a request to in order to obtain an unauthorized Request Token from the server / service provider.

*Resource Owner Authorization URI (called the User Authorization URL in the OAuth 1.0a community spec). This is a URI that you direct the user to to authorize a Request Token obtained from the Temporary Credential Request URI.

*Token Request URI (called the Access Token URL in the OAuth 1.0a community spec). This is a URI that you send a request to in order to exchange an authorized Request Token for an Access Token which can then be used to obtain access to a Protected Resource.

A: The term Endpoint was initially used for WCF services. Later even though this word is being used synonymous to API resources, REST recommends to call these URI (URI[s] which understand HTTP verbs and follow REST architecture) as "Resource".
In a nutshell, a Resource or Endpoint is kind of an entry point to a remotely hosted application which lets the users to communicate to it via HTTP protocol.

A: Come on guys :) We could do it simpler, by examples:
/this-is-an-endpoint
/another/endpoint
/some/other/endpoint
/login
/accounts
/cart/items

and when put under a domain, it would look like:
https://example.com/this-is-an-endpoint
https://example.com/another/endpoint
https://example.com/some/other/endpoint
https://example.com/login
https://example.com/accounts
https://example.com/cart/items

Can be either http or https, we use https in the example.
Also endpoint can be different for different HTTP methods, for example:
GET /item/{id}
PUT /item/{id}

would be two different endpoints - one for retrieving (as in "cRud"  abbreviation), and the other for updating (as in "crUd")
And that's all, really that simple!

A: It's one end of a communication channel, so often this would be represented as the URL of a server or service.

A: The endpoint of the term is the URL that is focused on creating a request.
Take a look at the following examples from different points:
/api/groups/6/workings/1
/api/v2/groups/5/workings/2
/api/workings/3

They can clearly access the same source in a given API.

A: An endpoint is a URL pattern used to communicate with an API.

A: API stands for Application Programming Interface. It is a way for your application to interact with other applications via an endpoint. Conversely, you can build out an API for your application that is available for other developers to utilize/connect to via HTTP methods, which are RESTful. Representational State Transfer (REST):

*

*GET: Retrieve data from an API endpoint.

*PUT: Update data via an API - similar to POST but more about updating info.

*POST: Send data to an API.

*DELETE: Remove data from given API.

*PATCH: Update data.

A: Endpoint, in the OpenID authentication lingo, is the URL to which you send (POST) the authentication request.
Excerpts from Google authentication API

To get the Google OpenID endpoint, perform discovery by sending either a GET or HEAD HTTP request to https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id. When using a GET, we recommend setting the Accept header to "application/xrds+xml". Google returns an XRDS document containing an OpenID provider endpoint URL.The endpoint address is annotated as:

<Service priority="0">
<Type>http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/server</Type>
<URI>{Google's login endpoint URI}</URI>
</Service>

Once you've acquired the Google endpoint, you can send authentication requests to it, specifying the appropriate parameters (available at the linked page). You connect to the endpoint by sending a request to the URL or by making an HTTP POST request.

A: An endpoint is the 'connection point' of a service, tool, or application accessed over a network. In the world of software, any software application that is running and "listening" for connections uses an endpoint as the "front door." When you want to connect to the application/service/tool to exchange data you connect to its endpoint

A: Short answer: "an endpoint is an abstraction that models the end of a message channel through which a system can send or receive messages" (Ibsen, 2010).

Endpoint vs URI (disambiguation)
The endpoint is not the same as a URI. One reason is because a URI can drive to different endpoints like an endpoint to GET, another to POST, and so on. Example:
@GET /api/agents/{agent_id} //Returns data from the agent identified by *agent_id*
@PUT /api/agents/{agent_id} //Update data of the agent identified by *agent_id*

Endpoint vs resource (disambiguation)
The endpoint is not the same as a resource. One reason is because different endpoints can drive to the same resource. Example:
@GET /api/agents/{agent_id} @Produces("application/xml") //Returns data in XML format
@GET /api/agents/{agent_id} @Produces("application/json") //Returns data in JSON format

The 3 D's . . . can all manifest with emotional, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms. Indeed, just differentiating mood symptoms for the first two, depression and dementia, can be challenging. Select the left image to enlarge and then compare the similarities and differences. Your physician might be interested in the image at the right, it details some differential diagnostic pathways for depression and selected neuropathologies.
In our culture, the three terms are often used casually and incorrectly, such as "She's just delirious," or "I think he's demented," or "They're always depressed" . . . yet in everyday practice, each are complex, sometimes tacit, potentially overlapping spectrums which can have significant impact on our lives, on the individual and on the family.
Cognitive, emotional and behavioral signs and symptoms of the 3 D's, unexplained or cohesive, can be better diagnosed, pointing to and responding to a range of management and treatment protocols.
Delirium is life-threatening, characterized by acute and fluctuating onset of confusion, disturbances in attention, disorganized thinking and/or decline in level of consciousness. More common in inpatient than outpatient settings, a very sensitive assessment of history, current functioning and collaborative data can help predict (and prevent) future risk.
Dementia is an older label that's now been replaced by the more contemporary label "The Neurocognitive Disorders." These disorders typically include gradual and progressive declines in mental processing ability that affect short-term memory, communication, language, judgement, reasoning, abstract thinking and other biopsychosocial domains. Though there are Mild and Major Cognitive Disorders, the reality is a continuum, worthy of early attention.
Depression is a general term used when a cluster of signs and symptoms, e.g., related to mood, sleep, interest, guilt, energy, concentration, appetite, weight, activity . . . are clinically diagnostic specific to the individual and their context. In most cases, signs and symptoms must be present on most days, for most of the time, and of such incidence that they are out of the ordinary for that individual.
Depression commonly accompanies major medical illness. It can be very difficult to recognize since bodily (or somatic) complaints, as primary presenting concerns, are more much common of depressed older patients, than of depressed younger patients.
Early identification of the "3 D's"as separate, overlapping and/or a continuum, timely monitoring and correctly applied evidence-based management and treatments, have a significant impact on health and quality of life for everybody including the patient, the caregiver, the family, and the community.
Although our self-labelling is often misapplied ("I forgot where I put my keys, I must be getting Alzheimers") . . . when it is diagnostically supported, Alzheimer's Disease may be initially characterized by impairment of episodic memory (verbal and non‐verbal). As it progresses, dysfunction in judgement and abstract reasoning, visual construction, verbal fluency and naming is often seen. Being able to document these signs and symptoms varies across individuals and is often specific to their history, prior to illness. Click to enlarge the chart below to better understand "Normal Change vs. Early AD."
Individuals with Vascular Dementias tend to be more impaired than individuals with Alzheimer's Disease on tests of executive function such as verbal fluency. In contrast, their levels of memory impairment may be less severe than seen in Alzheimer's Disease.
In Frontotemporal Dementias, letter fluency and executive function are usually worse than in Alzheimer's Disease, while memory performance is usually better.
Lewy Body Dementia symptoms can closely resemble those found in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. It's widely underdiagnosed and characterized by dysfunction in attention, visuospatial tasks, letter fluency, mental tracking and abstract reasoning.

Big Grower
Intern of the Year
Management January 2020
Growth by Experience By Joe Tacosik
Caleb Spall's experiences at Michigan State University and internship with Green Circle Growers give insight into management and operations — and a glimpse at his professional future.
Growing up, Caleb Spall, the 2020 GPN/Nexus Intern of the Year, had virtually no exposure to horticulture — his parents both went to school for art, and all of his siblings were interested in either the arts or English. Nevertheless, volunteering at a local organic farm in the summers while growing up is what lit Spall's spark of passion for horticulture.
"I'm obviously not super into farming now, but it got me thinking about plants," Spall says of the experiences as a young boy. "From there, I started participating in science fairs and doing experiments with plants."
Spall's first experiment came when he was in the 6th grade, when he worked on a hydroponic houseplant setup. "That was what really got me interested in controlled environment growing," Spall said.
The career path for Spall, however, wasn't always on the horticultural track. Throughout high school, he joined a biomedical science program with the intentions of being a cardiologist. But following his senior year, when looking at colleges and careers, Spall felt his passion was more in horticulture than cardiology.
With an eye on college, Spall had visited his sister, who was studying English at Michigan State University, numerous times — and knew it was exactly where he wanted to be.
"(Michigan State University) was really the only school I applied to," Spall says. "I'd been there many times and always knew it was where I wanted to go — and I knew that their horticulture program was, in my opinion, the best in the Midwest."
FINDING FLORICULTURE
At most universities, specifically Michigan State University, there are many paths students can choose. In horticulture, especially, there are specializations within the program such as sustainable and organic horticulture, landscape design, horticultural science and more. Spall says in trying to find his desired path, he did a lot of "bouncing around" throughout his freshman year.
"It was sensory overload at the time — I was working on an organic farm for a time, working on a hydroponic herb initiative out of one of the dorms where we grew basil and sold it to the cafeterias," Spall says. "I jumped around all these sectors my freshman year, trying to get some information in each one and really figure out what I wanted to do."
Finally, Spall says, it was a course in greenhouse structures and management taught by Roberto Lopez that helped him find his way into floriculture — and, in turn, an internship at Green Circle Growers in Oberlin, Ohio.
"It was in the greenhouse structures and management course that I realized that floriculture was the complete intersection of what I love — plants, controlled environment growing, and applied science and automation," Spall says. "It combined the passion I had for the hard sciences with plants."
Lopez's course, Spall says, opened the door for many opportunities — including a chance to work alongside Lopez as a lab assistant and lead researcher on several research studies, as well as within the school's student horticulture association and help with potential internship opportunities.
WHY GREEN CIRCLE GROWERS?
When it came time to select an internship for his learning experience, Spall says he was applying to a lot of different places — but it was Lopez's recommendation that he look into Green Circle Growers as a potential internship opportunity.
"By the time I was applying, it was as I was really getting into floriculture," Spall says. "I was really into orchids, and was asking faculty and professors about potential internships, when Dr. Lopez suggested I look into Green Circle after asking about commercial orchid operations in the area."
With more than 100 acres of indoor growing space, Green Circle Growers is one of the largest greenhouses in North America — something Spall says attracted him to the internship in the first place."Green Circle was my first choice, and I was thrilled when I heard back," Spall adds. "I've been to so many greenhouse operations for work and class trips — I've never seen something as large as Green Circle's campus."
LEARNING THROUGH EXPERIENCE
Within Spall's first month on campus at MSU, he founded the school's first student-run hydroponic initiative, involving the hydroponic culture of herbs and their subsequent sale to MSU dining halls. In 2018, he was elected as the head grower of Michigan State's Student Horticulture Association (SHA) — something he says not only helped his understanding of greenhouse operations going into his internship, but also helped give him some background to look for things such as diseases and issues with plants.
"Last year, we grew annuals, perennials, house plants — stuff like that. That sort of helped me understand floriculture a little better," Spall says. "I didn't have too much experience before going to Green Circle, so it helped give me that background… understanding how to grow high quality crops, etc."
A Plant With Healthy Roots
All of the interns who applied for the GPN/Nexus Intern of the Year scholarship are the epitome of healthy, beautiful plants. Each of them in their essays described their journeys through a love of growing things, to a successful education and finally to their chosen career plan. They are all plants with healthy roots.
Over 20 years ago we talked about how Nexus could help our industry and customers achieve their goals. We talked about new products that we were designing and consumer trends as well as roadblocks to success.
Our growers had a recurring need for talented staff and it seemed there were fewer young people attracted to our industry. What could we do? Along with GPN, our combined teams set up a plan to shine a light on the value of an education and career in horticulture. The Intern of the Year scholarship was our way of making it happen. We are proud of the result.
Our 21st intern, Caleb Spall, is someone we can all be proud of. While doing his internship at Green Circle Growers, he left a legacy of accomplishments. Caleb sees how he wants to spend his career and has decided to pursue a master's degree in floriculture next year. This scholarship will aid him in that pursuit.
As a whole generation of interns make their mark, the Nexus staff recognizes them. We see their names on industry articles, we support them as they conduct webinars, and we run into them when we visit our longtime customers. Caleb will be one of those making a mark. We are proud of all of our interns. At Nexus, we know that what we stand for, defines who we are and how our industry can be shaped for the future by these outstanding individuals.

Earlier this month, the Central Local Area Partnership organised a meeting to inform residents about Planning and Licensing legislation and the rules governing Planning and Licensing applications in Sheffield. After presentations from senior officers and Councillor Barker, Co-Chair of the Council's Licensing Committee, there were workshops to look at how the Council and residents can best work together. Notes from the meeting are attached here.
Thirty people came along to the Central Ward Permit Parking Meeting in October. The issue of permit parking is a priority in the Central ward and Councillors wanted to give residents the opportunity to have their say on the scheme. Officers from the Council's Parking Services and In Person (Customer Services) were present to answer questions. Notes from the meeting are available here.


Vernazza is to many the favorite of the five villages that comprise Cinque Terre (literally five lands) on the Italian Riviera. The track leads down past stone houses painted in rich chromaticities that counterpoint starkly with black volcanic rocks on which they rest. In Vernazza the track extends, becoming a series of cobblestone made-up lanes wide enough for a car, but built only to hold boats that are drawn up onto the streets during stormy weather. Vernazza is perhaps the most colorful towns of the Cinque Terre in Italy.

Q: How to add multiple values into one variable I got an array :
"operators": [
        {
            "id": 4,
            "name": "Player"
        },
        {
            "id": 3,
            "name": "Facilator"
        },
        {
            "id": 2,
            "name": "Coordinator"
        }
    ],

I want to set new variable to contain value of keys "id" only .
I'm using this script:
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);

pm.collectionVariables.set("operators_id",jsonData.operators[0].id);

This will return new variable "operators_id" = 4
I need the variable "operators_id" = 4,3,2 . Could you please show me how? Thanks in advance

Areszt domowy – bardziej lub mniej formalnie stosowany środek prawny polegający na pozbawieniu wolności, z tym że pozbawiona wolności osoba przebywa we własnym mieszkaniu (domu) lub miejscu, gdzie warunki nie odbiegają od panujących w domu mieszkalnym (może to być specjalnie przeznaczona do tego celu rezydencja). Osoba pozostająca w areszcie domowym nie może opuszczać miejsca pobytu (lub może to robić pod ścisłą kontrolą), często ma też ograniczone prawo przyjmowania odwiedzin oraz prowadzenia korespondencji.

Areszt domowy stosowany jest zarówno jako środek karny, jak i prewencyjny. Jako środek karny stosuje się go w sytuacji, gdy dana osoba z racji np. wieku bądź choroby nie może przebywać w więzieniu. Jako środek prewencyjny stosowany jest często w państwach totalitarnych lub autorytarnych wobec przeciwników politycznych. Metoda ta stosowana jest też w państwach demokratycznych, np. w sytuacji wojny lub stanu wyjątkowego, bądź też dla zabezpieczenia prawidłowego toku postępowania karnego (jako alternatywa aresztu śledczego).

Współcześnie w krajach o rozwiniętej technologii stosuje się odmianę aresztu domowego polegającą na zamocowaniu skazanemu na nodze opaski z czujnikiem elektronicznym pozwalającym ustalić miejsce pobytu. Skazanemu zezwala się na przebywanie w domu oraz np. w pracy, szkole czy miejscu kultu religijnego (zwykle ustala się czas przebywania w określonych miejscach). W sytuacji gdyby skazany oddalił się od wskazanych miejsc – grożą mu surowsze środki karne, zazwyczaj więzienie. Tego rodzaju areszt domowy stosuje się wobec sprawców drobnych, mniej groźnych przestępstw.

W Polsce od 1 września 2009 do 1 lipca 2015 istniała możliwość odbywania kary pozbawienia wolności w systemie dozoru elektronicznego.

I'm a black activist. Here's what people get wrong about Black Lives Matter.
By Vann R. Newkirk II Updated Dec 8, 2015, 8:00am EST
Share All sharing options for: I'm a black activist. Here's what people get wrong about Black Lives Matter.
I learned much of what I know about the civil rights movement at Morehouse College. An extraordinary campus, on a hill in Atlanta, Morehouse was where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Julian Bond, and other notable architects of the civil rights movement once studied under the tutelage of titans like Benjamin Elijah Mays. It's where, in 2006, I enrolled with similar hopes.
Like most historically black colleges and universities, Morehouse is still heavy with the spirit of the civil rights movement that it helped birth; to attend any of these institutions is to surround oneself with ghosts of the struggle. Six years ago, while still a student at Morehouse, I took a class dedicated to bringing in speakers every week to lecture us on that movement.
I felt those ghosts most strongly in that classroom.

Campaign Zero: Black Lives Matter activists' new, comprehensive policy platform, explained
Andrew Young — Mayor Young if you grew up within the wide loop of 285, Ambassador Young if your grandma had any of those "We Shall Overcome" posters with sepia photos of movement leaders, and one of King's greatest friends — stood before us.
He was nearly 80 years old, but he still had the gravity of the sun. He told us — a class entirely made up of young black men — about how important it was to carry on the movement that he and Dr. King had championed. He told us how this meant becoming well-dressed paragons of respectability, Spartans in suits, the kind of men required to continue his movement. It was a lecture of respectability politics: the idea that marginalized groups best solicit compassion by affecting a hyperfocused version of mainstream values instead of challenging the mainstream to accommodate the culture they already have. Young taught us we had to become less hip-hop in our speech and dress; he told us to scrub the "ain'ts" and "finnas" from our public language. We had to work twice as hard as white folks to get their sympathy — that was the torch Young passed to my class.
A week later, we had a different visitor. Another civil rights champion, he shared Young's air of gravity and wisdom. But something about him seemed closer to our young sensibilities; he had a touch of rebellion and mischief that Young lacked. And his advice was entirely different from what we had been told before.
This visitor was Julian Bond. In 1960, Bond helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), a coalition of younger student activists that often operated alongside King and Young's group of church-based activists, the SCLC. He told us that while the enemy — racism — was the same, the battlefield had changed. To carry on the movement, we would have to be modern warriors. We would have to adapt and innovate for the times. Maybe we would have to let go of some of the respectability, he said. Maybe we had an innate sense of its limits in a society that found a way to dehumanize even our greatest suit-wearing leaders. There's one line I remember verbatim: "A nice suit is a nice suit. Get one," he told us. "But it won't stop a bullet, son."
Bond's recent death gave me cause to reexamine these questions.
When we try to make sense of history, especially the history of capital-M Movements, we tend to mythologize a single-minded march toward justice. But the civil rights movement was diverse. There was a dominant theme, but there was dissonance, too. There was competition. There was strife. Forty years later, two of its luminaries stood before my college class and delivered opposing takes on its legacy. How did these differences actually play out in the history of the civil rights movement? Who was right?
I'm part of a new capital-M Movement: Black Lives Matter. My role has changed over time. In the early stages, I was an activist with a desire to write. Now I'm a writer striving to chronicle the movement and provide space for its voices. Part of that has involved exploring the different aspects of the civil rights movement, and seeing how the movement's history shapes my own. What I've found is at odds with many critiques of Black Lives Matter, even those by luminaries of the civil rights movement.
Most recently, Barbara Reynolds, a prominent black journalist, civil rights movement activist, and biographer of Jesse Jackson Sr., wrote in the Washington Post about the elements of BLM that she believes are unbecoming of a proper movement. In her essay, Reynolds takes the BLM movement to task for a litany of sins against the legacy of civil rights, from rejecting many of her generation's protest strategies to refusing to dress in church clothes like Dr. King did. She blasts BLM for sometimes using rage instead of respectability, for wearing sagging pants, even for cursing at rallies.
"A nice suit is a nice suit. Get one," he told us. "But it won't stop a bullet, son."
Reynolds's essay echoes other cases of intergenerational chafing since BLM began to coalesce after Trayvon Martin's death in 2013. Reverend Al Sharpton shrugged off Black Lives Matter protesters as attention-seeking amateurs. In January 2015, Oprah Winfrey gave an interview to People magazine in which she chided the leadership of BLM and told activists "to take note of the strategic, peaceful intention required when you want real change." This line of criticism isn't specific to famous people. It is echoed by several members of the older generation of black folks, many who remember the civil rights movement or even participated in it.
At bottom, they're all saying the same thing: The old way was best.
But which old way? In her essay, Reynolds cites both Bond and Young as evidence. Does she really think their way was the same, that there was a singular method to the civil rights movement that worked then and would still work now?
When I first read Reynolds's piece last Monday, my response wasn't very productive. "It's just flat-out wrong," I told a similarly incredulous friend. In that moment, I was operating on instinct, the same impulse to protect my own generation's movement that Reynolds no doubt felt about her own. But I've reflected over a few days now, and my mind hasn't changed much: Reynolds's critique is ahistorical. It is especially seductive because of her clout, but it's reductive of the richness of both the present movement and the past she compares it with.
Chances are when you think of the civil rights movement, you do think of Reynolds's portrait. It looks like what you learned in school, the suit-wearing, slow-moving march of "dignity and decorum."
As far as the early Southern Christian Leadership Conference goes, that's probably accurate. But they weren't the whole movement, or even the only successful or important part of it.
Even in the early 1960s, at the height of the civil rights movement where that "old way" comes from, there were influential groups uninterested in respectability. There were activists who didn't care for the slow march or the suits, who were unapproachable, raging and cussing in overalls and leather.
Does she really think their way was the same, that there was a singular method to the civil rights movement that worked then and would still work now?
One of these groups was SNCC, founded on an $800 grant from the SCLC by young activists, including future Congressman John Lewis and Julian Bond. Despite its origin, SNCC quickly became its own group with its own agenda, often at odds with King's SCLC. SNCC was a younger organization, more animated by grief and rage, and as time passed they became less and less comfortable with the idea of respectability that has often been so central to black protest ideology. SNCC gradually made it a policy point to abandon elements of respectability. Its members cast off their suits in favor of a more grassroots image, wearing clothes more representative of the South's black middle class. They veered away from the idea of central charismatic (mostly male) leadership, too.
Even when they worked together, the two groups could find themselves at odds. The SCLC and SNCC clashed over the aims of the March on Washington: While the SCLC frequently courted the federal government, SNCC was antagonistic. The SCLC forced SNCC leaders to tone down John Lewis's speech for the event, censoring his harshest attacks on the Kennedy administration. The organizations clashed in Selma, too, where events including Bloody Sunday (detailed in the film Selma) and a vicious beating of Lewis precipitated SNCC's slow movement further and further away from approachability and cooperation as goals.
History shows that both approaches had results.
Marchers at Selma, 1965.
SNCC was extraordinarily successful in its own right. The group created the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, an organization vital to the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. Although the SCLC and King are seen as the standard-bearers for Selma, it was John Lewis who led marchers over the bridge during Bloody Sunday, a moment widely considered a turning point for the movement. SNCC proved that decentralized organizations could still show effective leadership and rapid response, and that they could change hearts and minds while wearing whatever regular folks wore.
SNCC wasn't the only civil rights–era group that complicates Reynolds's pictures. There were everything from farmers associations to the Deacons for Defense and Justice, a group of mostly rural chapters of armed men dedicated to protecting people from the Klan. There were also feminist and gay rights splinter groups, as well as black nationalist groups like the Nation of Islam and black nationalist–inspired groups like the Panthers. Many of these were far more radical in their rejection of the SCLC's tenets than SNCC. By and large they have been either whitewashed out of history or recast as monstrous reactionaries, but they too played major roles in shaping the movement and its major victories.
Even the most "respectable" groups changed over time, including the SCLC. What does Reynolds think of Dr. King's mass actions in Chicago and Memphis, where workers and poor folks in work and casual clothes railed and clashed — sometimes violently — against police and counter-protesters? What does Reynolds think of SNCC, which gravitated further and further toward the fullness of Black Power's unaccommodating rage as its members suffered beatings and slayings? What about Nina Simone's protest song "Mississippi Goddamn," which by radio standards of the time was considered downright profane?
SNCC proved that decentralized organizations could still show effective leadership and rapid response, and that they could change hearts and minds while wearing whatever regular folks wore
How can Reynolds ignore this history — history she herself was a part of? Was SNCC simply not important compared with the dominant image of the SCLC? Yet so many of the key players that even Reynolds cites as examples — people like Bond, Lewis, and Ella Baker — were members of SNCC. These activists became members of Congress, ambassadors, and state senators. Lewis and Bond have been two of the most important links between the old and new movements. How could a generation of budding activists not learn from them?
The answer is that they did.
What Reynolds seems to miss is that while the DNA of the Black Lives Matter movement may not come directly from the SCLC or from Dr. King's philosophies, it still comes from her era and movement. It comes from groups like SNCC that eschewed quiet boycotts, tweed suits, and charismatic speeches; that found success in decentralized leadership, direct action, and, sometimes, naked anger.
The Black Lives Matter movement inhabits many of these spaces first carved out by the groups Reynolds wants to forget. BLM is decentralized, like SNCC. It has courted media, and like many, including the Panthers, it has created its own media, a feat made possible in the present day by the internet. It is animated by grief and rage as much as by concrete policy. Many activists wear the clothes they have always worn as black middle- and lower-class youth. They sag. They wear hoodies. They do it because they understand innately that suits do not indicate who is "evil" and who is "good," who ought to be respected.
In fact, the politicians inflicting most of the grief that mobilizes these activists are the people most likely to be wearing suits at any given moment.
And listen: I love wearing suits. But the idea that they make me more respectable than anything else doesn't square with my own experience. I am not a different worker or writer if I'm wearing a suit and tie or my favorite Jordan 11 Breds and a durag.
I may be writing this while wearing just that.
I study a speech that Julian Bond gave at Bowling Green, in 1968:
"What will be needed, in addition to an experienced and agitating group of young activists, will be more than just the confluence of people of mutual interest and mutual concern coming together. What will be needed is what the great black man, Frederick Douglass, called for in another speech about 116 years ago. "It is not the light that is needed," Douglass said. "but fire. It is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened, the conscience of the nation must be startled, the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed, its crimes against God and man must be denounced."
If Bond wasn't prophesying the Black Lives Matter movement, he came close. They are a group of agitating young activists, gaining experience by the moment. They have improved upon the mistakes of their predecessors, something Reynolds acknowledges by noting how BLM is offering more space for women and members of the LGBTQ spectrum.
Women founded BLM and many of the organizations in the loose constellation around it. The rage that many of the protesters carry is not the self-defeating vitriol Reynolds warns against, but the exact kind of fire and thunder that Bond extolled. They seek every day to expose the hypocrisy of the nation. That very aim is evident in the entire movement's name.
My instinct is to try to bridge this gap between generations and movements, and as a consequence I find my emotional resting place is sadness. I am saddened that some elders like Reynolds cannot see their own selves in the people marching today. Maybe this is unavoidable; after all, many of the leaders given as examples in different generations probably never saw eye to eye. Maybe it is a natural byproduct of one generation growing up and striking out. Is this how it always works? I don't know.
My work is writing about the rich history of black America. That work has led me to understand that movement history, like all of black history, is a history of iterations. It is jazz, it is a history of a people finding chords from another time and putting them together into something new that works for the challenges of the present. It is learning from Bond, from Young, from Martin, from Baker, from Fannie Lou Hamer, from Diane Nash, from James Baldwin, and also learning from Netta Elzie, from Patrisse Cullors, from DeRay McKesson, from Jesse Jackson, from Ta-Nehisi Coates. It is synthesis, and it is a beautiful and elegant whole.
In fact, the politicians inflicting most of the grief that mobilizes these activists are the people most likely to be wearing suits at any given moment
Somehow, the words of Young and Bond are both parts of the whole, a whole that young activists have considered and adapted as they walk in their footsteps. Reynolds and some other elders claim they cannot get behind Black Lives Matter because it is strange and bizarre to them, but I know it is more similar to what they built than it is dissimilar. Most importantly, the ties and causes that bind the activists in both iterations of the struggle are much more powerful than any of their differences.

I regret my vote for our Mayor Bob Whalen.
I live in North Laguna, just like him. On April 22, my neighborhood received notice that the city council wanted to remove all the stop signs on the half-mile stretch of Monterey between Linden and High Streets. The meeting was on April 23, 24 hours after we received notice.
Our neighborhood was surprised and angry. Monterey is our thoroughfare, where children play while waiting for the bus. Elderly walk their dogs and families push strollers down to Riddle Field. To put this proposal into similar context, imagine if stop signs were removed from Glenneyre, Bluebird Canyon, Nyes or Park? Removing stop signs would simply turn the road into a drag strip. Vehicles already go too fast and like most of Laguna we do not have sidewalks. Pedestrians share the road with both automobiles and cyclists.
Evidently, that is why Mr. Whalen wanted the stop signs removed. So that bicyclists could go faster and did not have to stop. I agree it sounds absurd. But citing the document written by [Public Works Director] Steve May: "…the 'stop' signs along Monterey Drive…unnecessarily impeded bicyclists." Further down he recommends that the stop signs be removed because they do not follow state code.
This proposal was not only dangerous and reckless, but unscrupulous and dishonest. My neighbors looked up the code and realized that it did not apply to existing stop signs, just new installations. So not only was the proposal wildly biased, but spurious too.
About 60 of us showed up at the meeting to protest the action. The committee denied the proposal and admonished the subversive nature of it and the way it was created.
Mr. Whalen introduced the proposal at the very end of the council meeting last month and if you watch the video, never fully explained what he wanted.
I called [Council member] Steve Dicterow and he said that they had no clue about removing the stop signs and he did not realize the implications of his vote. I also called Bob Whalen, who did not return my call. I give credit to Toni Iseman for being the sole dissenting vote.
Shame on Mayor Bob Whalen. Shame on Steve May. Their actions were not just distasteful, but reckless, immoral and disgraceful. What if those stop signs were removed and a child was hit by a car?
"I regret my vote for our Mayor Bob Whalen.
I am confused as to why Kyle is confused about how things work in Laguna Beach, a paradise run by MORONS. Think Professional and Ethical, and expect the opposite.
I have told our citizenry many times before that Whalen lacks the Character and Morals of a REAL Public SERVANT, and not the MORON he is proud to portray.
parking tickets to ILLEGALLY Parked vehicles, he said that since I was soooo concerned, the ares would now be painted RED.
Kyle, all you have to do is complain enough, or PERVERT your position as a CITY COUNCILMAN to get things done in Laguna Beach. KING Johnny also pulled Whalen's STUNT on me previously, by painting another area that allowed illegaly parked cars RED after MOST of my good citizen complaints were laughed at.
represent. Can you say HYPOCRITE Kyle, because that is what most of our City CABAL is composed of.
DITTO Kyle. Thanks for saying exactly what needed to be said.

The Politics of Police Detention in Japan
Consensus of Convenience
Silvia Croydon
Clarendon Studies in Criminology
A unique, in-depth empirical investigation of the remand procedure for criminal suspects in Japan - the first of its kind
Fills a huge vacuum of scholarship on the Japanese criminal justice system, addressing their divergent and lengthy police detention arrangements
Addresses the strain Japan's detention policy has created within the global human rights advocacy community
Offers insightful interviews with major decision-makers and policy actors, interwoven with historical and comparative analysis
Filling a huge vacuum of scholarship on the Japanese criminal justice system, The Politics of Police Detention in Japan: Consensus of Convenience shines a spotlight on the remand procedure for criminal suspects in Japan, where the 23-day duration for which individuals can be held in police custody prior to being indicted is the longest amongst developed nations, with the majority of countries stipulating 4 days or less. Moreover, in practice, the average length of suspect detention in police cells is even longer due to multiple charges being imposed, and there is very little use of detention facilities independent of the investigation, with only 2% of suspects held in this way. Despite detention of this kind leading to criticism of Japan as a hotbed of false convictions, there has never been a systematic study of this divergent measure or its history.
The Politics of Police Detention in Japan addresses this omission, first, by drawing on Japanese history-of-law scholarship to identify the origins of the modern day practice, tracing the source of legitimacy for the continuous remand of suspects with the police back to the Meiji era. There is further historical analysis addressing the post-war occupation of Japan under Allied forces through to the development of the National Police Agency, as each stage further undermines Japanese criminal procedure and limits reform. Secondly, the author conducts a political analysis of the mechanisms through which it is sustained, featuring extensive interviews with key players, including several Justice Ministers and other politicians, Ministry of Justice and Police officials, judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and NGO representatives.
As the first in-depth empirical investigation of Japan's police detention arrangements, this important and engrossing book highlights how a state sets the boundary between the liberty of individuals and the security of the community - a dichotomy that is far from unique to police detention.

Dr Silvia Croydon is Hakubi Research Fellow at Kyoto University, where she spends her time researching human rights in the country, as well as in East Asia more broadly. Her particular focus is criminal rights issues, and in addition to police detention, she has published works in both Japanese and English on topics such as victim impact statements, the death penalty and the introduction of lay judges to Japan. She has also written on the prospects for the existing gap in Asia with regards to a regional human rights mechanism to be filled. Each of these projects has been supported by evidence gathered during her extensive fieldwork in the region, undertaken whilst in her current position, as well as during a two-year Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the University of Tokyo, and during her doctoral studies at the University of Oxford, which were completed in 2010.

Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, the Vice- Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, (Unilorin) in Kwara State, on Monday, said that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had increased the university's admission quota from 7,800 to 9,000.
Ambali who disclosed this during an interactive session with newsmen in Ilorin.
He also said that the university's management had acquired additional laboratory equipment that would ensure an enabling learning condition for its students.
"We are looking forward in 2016 to re-emphasise and concentrate our efforts to sustain the feats the university had achieved in the previous years as the best," he said.
Ambali, however, dismissed the agitation from some quarters of passing into law the "banking of JAMB results".
This would afford a candidate the opportunity to use the same result obtained at one sitting of JAMB's entrance examination to seek admission into the university for two years instead of writing it annually.
The V-C said that candidates re-writing examinations annually would perform better than they had done in previous ones.
Ambali also said that investors were already on ground to build additional a 5,000-bed-space hostel for the institution.

Twin Science teachers Mrs. Munkres (left) and Mrs. Leroy (right). Photo taken by Mrs. Leroy.
Mrs. Leroy has been teaching Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, and Field Ecology for almost 15 years with her sister Mrs. Munkres. She and her sister have lived in Gig Harbor for the last 16 years but both have been teaching at North Mason High School until her sister resigned and started to teach here at Gig Harbor. The transition to GHHS from North Mason has been amazing, all staff members have been very helpful and welcoming. She said the differences in Gig Harbor and North Mason is the semester system instead of trimesters because, at North Mason, her son and her were often on different schedules, which lead to her not spending a lot of time with him. She has always wanted to live in the community where she teaches, and the deciding factor to make the transition is that she has lived in Gig harbor for the last 16 years. She plans on teaching here for indefinitely until she retires, and is happy that things have come a full circle from graduating from GHHS in 1997 to returning here as a science teacher in 2018, continuing to inspire a love of science in my students. Mrs. Leroy said that it is amazing that she got to replace her 9th grade Biology teacher Mrs. Moore who instilled in her a love and passion for science, and was the teacher who inspired her trajectory of becoming just like her, a science teacher.


I am popping in (late) to tell you all about my weekend.
Friday after work, we didn't do very much. We had lunch, picked up the girls and tried to get their passports done. But the passport office was closed for the day. And it was too late to try another since they are only open until 3 pm.
That evening, I had the girls sans husband. Rory was out to a baseball dinner (University dinner), so my in-laws came over to play with the girls and allow me to pick up some dinner for us.
Saturday morning we headed to breakfast and then to my cousin's Bloody Mary Tasting Party. We drank bloody mary's (duh), watched the playoff games and stuffed ourselves full of food. So much fun. But I think the girls picked up a cold from some of the other children there.
Saturday night we celebrated Rory's promotion with a steak dinner. And it was so good. So was the people watching. Total family drama at the table next to us.
Sorry for the picture of a picture, but I loved the photo so much that I had to share it.
Sunday the girls colds were getting worse and we didn't get much sleep the night before. We ran a few errands, made a fire and relaxed at home most of the day.
Monday was another relaxing day due to the girls being sick. We did manage to make it out to sushi for dinner and it was really good. We were supposed to have a babysitter (my sister) to watch the girls while we had dinner and went to a surprise going away/birthday party for Nathalie, but we didn't want to leave the girls with them being so sick. So I went to the party instead and Rory sent his well wishes to Nathalie.
I didn't stay out late since I had work today and sick babies at home. But it was well worth the evening out.
Love you too. Thanks for the amazing cake, being you and hanging out. I love our time together!
A Bloody Mary tasting party?! That sounds amazing! The pictures of the girls are all too cute. Love all of their clothes!
Haha. I love champagne parties too!!!
Oh goodness the eyes on your girls! Future heartbreakers! Yay for the night out celebrations. Hope the week is off to a great start/actually halfway through!

What is photography? What is art? What is the point of it? It's everything around us, and it's yourself, there is no point, it's putting your thoughts on paper, in an instant, expressing more than words can, so many things.
Photography and art isn�t limited to the medium, it's more than that, I believe the real art is the artist and the world, this is what inspires us. What catches one persons eye, but another walks past?
With photography I have learnt the value of detail, it has taught me to look for details, to look for things, this is more than clicking a button.
The camera simply allows the user to catch the image; it is the artist who sees it. The way I think is life is full of speeded up days, what the camera does is crop this so you can focus on what you want.
It takes a moment, and stretches it to infinity, photography gives us the calm of observing that moment properly, and life is like this to me, full of clutter, and very special moments.
In India, I saw uncensored reality, real poverty, real madness, not the sanitised cleaned up, behind closed doors society of Britain. But why are these themes so interesting to me? Because they are more real, everyone identifies with the underdog, not many can identify with the entrenched falsity of the ruling classes.
This is where photography is different, it is designed to raise questions rather than answers, but the result is that artists will remain unfulfilled, because in their quest for answers, they simply raise more questions.
Don�t take anything on face value, everything can be doctored even these words, read them once, forget them, and go make your own art.


Aw thanks so much Autumn! Your blog is cute too! If you want I can make some designs for you!
I recently just started blogging because I saw your blog and a few others, I'm so inspired and I love the design of your blog. It's SO FREAKING CUTE, anyway maybe could you check out my blog?

Tennessee Titans' defensive tackle Shaun Smith drops weight and improves his conditioning with yoga.
The defense tackle for the Tenessee Titans' football team is doing yoga? Yep. Not only that—he's teaching it, too. Recently, Shaun Smith, a 300-pound-plus NFL football player taught two classes at Hot Yoga Plus in Nashville. They were both benefit classes, and the proceeds went to a charity he is involved with called the 91 Ways Foundation, which raises money for inner city kids and urban schools that are short on classroom supplies.
Smith started practicing hot yoga in 2008, and has continued to do so in an effort to better condition himself for football—and to lose weight. He lost 22 pounds in the current off-season, which he attributes to the hot yoga. (He still weighs 340!) The Titans didn't have a great season this past year, and Smith says the yoga is getting him into better shape, which will prime him for better performance on the field. He's proud of his yoga regime, though he's had to endure teasing from teammates who think yoga isn't tough enough. Still, two of his teammates, Michael Griffith and Gerald McRath, came to one of the classes he taught at Hot Yoga Plus to support him.


Every year, we head out to the pumpkin patch and I end up buying a couple of jars of apple butter. I absolutely LOVE it and have been wanting to figure out how to make it for a while. After scouring recipes online, I settled on something I could make in the crock pot. Thanks to Changing My Destiny for the recipe!
1 doz. apples...I honestly don't remember which kind I used, Gala, maybe?
Wash and peel your apples. Core them and chop them up. Mix them with the sugar, cinnamon and all spice. I did not make exact measurements...I just scooped and dumped.
Dump it all in the crock pot with the water...turn it on high and let it sit for about 6 hours.
I propped the lid after about 6 hours to let some of the extra juice/water evaporate...it was a little too runny and I was going for something a little thicker. It took about 30 minutes to reach the consistency I was looking for.
Mash or blend the apples...or leave it just the way it is. I took my potato masher to it and liked how it mostly broke down, but I still had a few soft chunks.
Let mixture cool and place in storage containers....I used plastic Ball jars and froze one of them. It didn't last very long and I found myself thawing that jar in about 3 days!
It's so tasty and delicious and I hope you enjoy it!
Sounds yummy! Do the boys like it? I might try a half batch next week. Gotta get out there and pick local apples. NIce to see you try new things.
That is UNBELIEVABLY easy. I'm headed to the grocery store today - you can bet I'm getting a dozen apples!!!
1. Did you peel the skin off the apples?
2. How many jars did it take to put it all away? What size jars?
3. Do your kids like it?
#1-Yes, peel and core the apples...otherwise they won't break down. I chopped them up into tiny pieces.
