Spatial distribution of depth-averaged velocity measured in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, Chicago, IL (December 7, 2010)
These data were collected using a 1200 kHz TRDI Rio Grande acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) in mode 12 with 25 centimeter bins from a moving boat. The data were georeferenced with a Hemisphere Crescent A100 differential Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver with submeter accuracy. The data have been depth-averaged over the entire measured portion of the water column and temporally averaged over 5-second intervals to reduce noise. These data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) concurrently with environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling in this reach of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Data were processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox...

NHD 20190623 for Wisconsin State or Territory FileGDB 10.1 Model Version 2.2.1
The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. NHD data was originally developed at 1:100,000-scale and exists at that scale for the whole country. This high-resolution NHD, generally developed at 1:24,000/1:12,000 scale, adds detail to the original 1:100,000-scale NHD. (Data for Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands was developed at high-resolution, not 1:100,000 scale.) Local resolution NHD is being developed where partners and data exist. The NHD contains reach codes for networked features, flow direction, names, and centerline representations for areal water...

Spatial distribution of Rhodamine WT dye concentration measured in the Des Plaines River and the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, Chicago, IL in November 2011
These data were collected during a dye tracing study of the lower Des Plaines River and lower Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) in November 2011 by the U.S. Geological Survey. The study attempted to identify potential inflows of Des Plaines River water through the fractured bedrock that separates the two water bodies. Data include Rhodamine WT dye concentrations measured every 3 or 10 minutes by means of Turner Designs C3 and C6 fluorometers with internal dataloggers at three fixed locations on the Des Plaines River, in three groundwater monitoring wells, at two fixed locations on the CSSC, and from a mobile vessel in the CSSC.

Spatial distribution of Rhodamine WT dye concentration measured in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, Chicago, IL (November 15-18, 2011)
A boat equipped with a differential Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver (Hemisphere Crescent A100 Smart Antenna) and a Turner Designs C3 submersible fluorometer was used to survey the spatial distribution of the Rhodamine WT dye in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) throughout the study area. The fluorometer was installed in a fixed, downlooking orientation approximately 1 foot below the water surface. Fluorometer readings were taken at a frequency of 1 per second. Data were acquired on a personal computer running the Turner Designs C-FINS software extension for ArcGIS 10. This data acquisition software allows the C3 data to be georeferenced and plotted in real time as color-coded concentrations on...

The past week says a lot about the quagmire that Chinese President Xi Jinping has found his country in, as his American counterpart Donald Trump has shown no sign of de-escalating the trade war rhetoric.
It also offers a glimpse into the most powerful post-Mao leader's political and strategic judgments, showing his willingness to realign despite long-standing historical animosities.
In the most dramatic scene, he rolled out the red carpet in Beijing for Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a man of whom he had been wary and distrustful since he became China's leader in 2012.
Officially, Abe's three-day summit in China – the first for a Japanese leader in seven years – was designed to be the climactic moment celebrating the 40th anniversary of the normalisation of Sino-Japanese ties, when late paramount Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping travelled to Tokyo and signed a treaty of peace and friendship.
Underlining the Sino-Japanese rapprochement was a deepening sense of anxiety, especially on the part of Beijing, amid the Trump administration's anti-globalist, anti-China policies.
Underlining the Sino-Japanese rapprochement was a shared, deepening sense of anxiety, especially on the part of Beijing, amid the Trump administration's anti-globalist, anti-China policies.
In a joint statement, China and Japan went beyond the call for warm bilateral relations, but also pledged to build a system of "free and fair trade". They also signed what is to Japan the biggest ever currency swap agreement, by which the two sides could, at least in theory, lower the dependency on the dollars while conducting bilateral trades.
Just weeks before the national flags of the one-time warring enemy were flown outside the Tiananmen Square to welcome Abe, Chinese officials were watching with consternation the hawkish speech made by US Vice-President Mike Pence.
Some in China's foreign policy community have since continued to study it, and compared it with Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech in 1946, according to Bloomberg. They were trying to determine whether Pence's speech, too, marks the start of a Cold War between two world powers.
It is against this backdrop – coupled with the multibillion-dollar tariffs already, or about to be, imposed on Chinese goods that are set to deal a blow to China's economic growth – that China is forced into strategic realignments.
Apart from pushing the old foes of China and Japan together, Trump is also making inroads in strengthening China's naval collaboration with its once wary Southeast Asian neighbours.
In a little-noticed move, America's most reliable ally in Southeast Asia, Singapore, co-hosted the first ever joint naval exercise between China and the 10 countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
China, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines sent warships to take part, while Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Myanmar sent observers.
To agree to a collaborative approach to maritime affairs would have been unthinkable for insiders of China's military apparatus just a couple of years ago, when China fiercely dismissed a 2016 ruling by the international arbitration court in The Hague that said there was no evidence that China had historically exercised exclusive control over the waters or resources.
Since then, China asserted its "indisputable sovereignty" and sped up the pace of militarisation in the South China Sea, building air bases on artificially constructed islands in moves that greatly alarmed Southeast Asian neighbours.
Wang's first stop in the Middle East was Israel, becoming one of the most senior Chinese officials to visit Israel since the countries established diplomatic relations in 1992.
China has been hoping to acquire sensitive technology from Israel now that the US is tightening its export to China. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on the other hand, has declared it a supreme goal to achieve a free-trade agreement with China in 2019.
For now, Israel would remain a core US ally. But Netanyahu's embrace of China "One Belt One Road" initiative, for instance, is in some ways a slap on the face of the Trump administration, which cited China's global geostrategic plan as a threat to the world order.
For the US, its anti-China trade policies without securing commitment from traditional allies in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and even the Middle East are allowing China to, at least for now, manoeuvre and realign.


If the question 'what is the fiercest derby in world football?' was still up for discussion, this weekend may well have provided an answer.
On Saturday, Besiktas made the short hop across town to face bitter rivals Fenerbahce at the Şükrü Saracoğlu stadium.
The hosts ran out 2-1 victors on match day six to move within just two points of their Istanbul rivals in the Süper Lig table. However, the actual football was somewhat secondary in what was one of the most action-packed derbies ever seen.
Ricardo Quaresma was the first of five (yes, five) players to be given his marching orders from the referee who may need an ice pack for his card-showing arm after the game.
The Portugal international Quaresma picked up two needless yellow cards towards the end of the first-half to set the standard. Fenerbache's Luís Neto soon joined the winger down the tunnel, after he was adjudged to be the last man when fouling Besiktas striker Cenk Tosun.
Besiktas manager Şenol Güneş was also sent off by the referee while midfielder Atiba Hutchinson followed his boss down the tunnel soon after - with the Canadian given a second yellow card for handling the ball inside the area.
On-loan Tottenham striker Janssen scored a decisive spot-kick for Fenerbahce, before former Liverpool winger Ryan Babel pulled one goal back for the visitors late on.
Not content to let the football be the talking point for even the final five minutes, Ismail Köybasi was then dismissed for a nasty tackle on Besiktas captain Oguzhan Özyakup.
With the final whistle blowing to leave the score 2-1 in favour of Fenerbahce, Özyakup went from victim to villain and was shown a second yellow card as the game was finishing for dissent.
Unconfirmed reports suggest referee Alì Palabiyik has been lying in a dark room with a flannel on his head ever since.

Q: Why can the simplest C++ code not be compiled? template<class CharType>
struct MyString
{
    MyString()
    {}

    MyString(CharType*)
    {}
};

int main()
{
    char* narrow_str = 0;
    MyString<char>(narrow_str); // error C2040
}

My compiler is VC++ 2013 RC.
The simplest code cannot be compiled because of the error C2040.

error C2040: 'narrow_str' : 'MyString' differs in levels of
  indirection from 'char *'

Why?

A: The problem is this is actually not being parsed as a constructor call but as a variable definition. The problem is you already defined a variable narrow_str. You may have already known this but you can easily fix this by giving it a name.
template<class CharType>
struct MyString
{
    MyString()
    {}

    MyString(CharType*)
    {}
};

int main()
{
    char* narrow_str = 0;
    MyString<char> ns(narrow_str); // error C2040
}

BTW this is also the source of the most vexing parse which occurs when this type of syntax is used in a function argument.
To be honest though I'm surprised that you got a different error because both g++ and clang gave me a clear error.

A: your syntax in creating a struct is wrong .
change
    MyString<char>(narrow_str); // error C2040

to
    MyString<char> myString(narrow_str);

will be ok.

When Will Amazon.com Split Its Stock Again?
By Sam MatteraFool.com
Echo. Image source: Amazon.com.
At upwards of $760, Amazon.com's (NASDAQ: AMZN) stock is, at least on a nominal basis, quite expensive. Few companies boast share prices much higher.
Two factors have driven Amazon's share price to such tremendous heights: its phenomenal run of business success, and its management's unwillingness to split its stock. Yes,Amazon has split its stock in the past -- three times, in fact -- but the last time it did so was nearly 17 years ago, back when it was a relatively small internet retailer, generally regarded as a bookseller and not much else.
On paper, stock splits mean little: A single share cleaved in two (or more) still represents the same percentage of the company. But a stock that's too expensive can have some real consequences.
Shark Tank Just Revealed a Trillion-Dollar Idea
To be clear, Amazon's management hasn't promised to split its stock, or even hinted at the possibility. Still, I think it's likely that Amazon will undertake its fourth stock split at some point in the near future.
The advantages of a stock split
Splitting Amazon's stock would give the company two advantages: First, it would allow for more retail investors to participate. Second, it would help facilitate Amazon's addition to the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Given Amazon's current share price, many retail investors may scoff at the prospect of buying Amazon stock. To some extent, this may be psychological: Some investors simply prefer to outfit their portfolio with more shares of less expensive stocks, for whatever reason. But there's also a practical application: Buying a single share of Amazon would commit a modest portfolio to significant exposure. One share of Amazon would represent nearly 8% of a brokerage account worth $10,000, for example.
When Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) split its stock in 2014, it cited a desire to expand its base of shareholders. "We want Apple stock to be more accessible to a larger number of investors," it said.
Since then, Apple shares have risen about 15%, outperforming the broader market. It's not clear how much it's 7-for-1 split contributed, but by making it easier for retail investors to participate, Apple may have increased the demand for its stock. At the same time, Apple remains primarily a seller of consumer electronics -- retail investors with shares of Apple in their portfolio may be more likely to choose an iPhone when it comes time to purchase a smartphone.
Certainly, Apple's 7-for-1 split was a necessary prerequisite to joining the Dow. The famous index is price-weighted, meaning that any one component's relative contribution is driven by the nominal price of its stock. On average, Dow stocks trade for around $50 to $100 per share -- a $760 stock would have an undue influence on the index.
With the exception of its share price, Amazon fulfills all the criteria necessary to become a Dow Jones component. Few would argue that the company doesn't have an excellent reputation or that it isn't of interest to a large number of investors. Certainly, it's demonstrated sustained growth.
Becoming America's top retailer
The Dow Jones has contained some of America's most successful retailers -- Sears Roebuck was a longtime member, as was Woolworth's. Today, Wal-Martand Home Depot are the Dow's retailing members.
By market cap, Amazon is now America's largest retailer, and seemingly the most significant. Wal-Mart's recent $3 billion purchase of Jet.com suggests the future of retail is online, a space Amazon unquestionably dominates.
Barring a drastic downturn in its business, look for Amazon to split its stock sometime in the next few years. An 8-for-1 split would clear the way for the company's enshrinement in the Dow Jones -- an affirmation of its status as the country's dominant retailer.

Conversely, when your feet are crammed into odd-shaped shoes with an arch support, they conform to an unnatural position, and eventually stop supporting. This not only creates a week arch, but it prevents the flexing and flattening that maintains muscle and mobility. "Shoes affect the gait of children. With shoes, children walk faster by taking longer steps with greater ankle and knee motion and increased tibialis anterior activity. " Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2011 The Foot is the Shoe We are not born with shoes, so we rely on our feet for support.
Since a declining metabolic rate is one of the things that makes weight management difficult with age, we should be dedicating the minimal time we have to exercise towards maintaining or increasing it. Unlike cardio, resistance training elevates this rate (which determines 60-75% of our total energy expenditure) by facilitating muscle maintenance and development. "The average middle-aged person's problem is not excess weight as much is it is excess body fat coupled with too little muscle. Simply losing weight is the wrong goal; the key is changing your ratio of body fat (biologically inactive energy storage) to muscle (biologically active tissue).

Just like a concert, but with no alcohol and merch, and a little less moshing.
Since coming back from The Response event at Reliant Stadium on late Saturday afternoon and posting my blog about the event, which I spent almost eight hours at, the comment section on the Hair Balls piece has become a great and strange battleground of ideas over what it means to be a Christian in 2011.
Funny enough, a lot of people didn't see that I do, in fact, believe in God. They thought that I was somehow a godless heathen for even stepping foot into the stadium. Fair enough. But I did spend the first 15 years of my life going to church, getting saved every two weeks out of fear, and learning all I could about the good book, so it's not like I was there to set the place on fire with the unholy fire of alt-weekly scorn. I chose to leave that out on Saturday because who cares, just like no one cares now.
None of the commenters must have read the part about the serenity of the worship music like "How Sweet The Sound" or how I felt something in my body during the event. That was ignored. But the best part about writing about something as sadly divisive as The Response is that people read their own fears and opinions into the work.
I actually did feel something in my body, like in my stomach, as the whole place was deep in prayer. I describe it as the feeling that I usually get when I shoot a band at a big festival and you can feel a surge of love released at the stage, except this was quieter, and more enveloping. Oh, and here's my man card. I should probably turn it in now.
The fact of the matter is, if Rick Perry hadn't shown up or even been a part of The Response, I wouldn't have been there and neither would have many in the crowd. Hell, there would probably have been no protesters to speak of. Westboro Baptist Church wouldn't have even shown their faces.
Truth be told, the constant bickering between both sides of the picket line got to be almost angering. Screaming over each other for hours on end, trying to out-snark one another. By 5 p.m. on Saturday, I was disillusioned and amused equally by both sides, and didn't care to listen to the yelling.
I rounded up a few pictures from the event that probably need a little background and some sort explanation. Also, here's a link to some videos I also took that may have gotten lost in the shuffle. I am still kinda sore that Dr. James Dobson declined to get a picture with me, because it would have been pretty cool to say I have pictures of myself with Larry Flynt and Dobson in the same week.
This sign is a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Universe, according to Eric Sauseda, the photographer in the trenches on Saturday. Three people probably got that reference, including Eric.
This lady reminded me of all those pictures of those beautiful hippie girls in the '60s, just mellowing out to Santana or the Dead. To me she encapsulated that notion I had that for most, this was just a really moving, spirit-filled praise and worship event and not a rally for Rick Perry's hair.
It was hard to deny the comedy of both sides, the atheists and the Christians, arguing over the existence of something that none of us will know about for sure until we die.
As I walked over the footbridge over Kirby and onto the Reliant grounds, I spied this lady blowing this horn with a kid next to her holding an Israeli flag. For the next eight hours, the confusing ballet of how and why would roll on. Never saw her again either.
I really want to know if either side swayed the other on Saturday, or at least changed one another's mind. Like, did a straitlaced father of four walk away from them going, "Dude has a point, God doesn't exist. Let's go home, honey," or did one of the protesters think, "To each his own, I presume."
There was a section on the floor, near where one of the end zones would be, where people would congregate to really let their praise moves loose. One girl was doing this intricate soft shoe, laughing ecstatically, while some were on their knees openly weeping.
The heckling going back and forth was priceless between the Christian smokers and the sweaty protesters. Water guns would have been a fun idea.
It's funny, an anthropologist can observe an indigenous people praying to their god in very much the same way, and it's science and humanity, because the poor bastards don't own computers or watch TV. You come watch these people and it's supposed to be a freak show. If you weren't used to seeing this, you would obviously assume they were all crazy in the head. The mood in the praise pit, the seat-less area in front of the stage, was just as excitable but not as mobile.
Alas, the booze was locked up all day, so as to deter drunken praying and rowdiness in the crowd. Do prayers get discarded by the man upstairs if you are inebriated, like so many drunk calls to exes and friends? The world will never know.

Q: How to access entity bean from remote client using session facades I have an EJB accessing a MySQL database through WildFly.
In the EJB I have an Entity (Book) and a Session Bean (BookBean) that exposes methods to manage the database from within a Remote Client.
Could you show me a code example in order to contact the Entity bean using session façades from a remote client (a simple Java class)?
The only tutorial I found here is really outdated.

A: You can try something similar like this
public class Client{
   //Get the session bean of the Book entity bean
   @EJB private BookBean bookBean;

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      //Assume BookBean has a method named getBooks() which will return books in the database
      List<Book> booksList = bookBean.getBooks();

       System.out.println("Book(s) entered so far: " + booksList.size());
       int i = 0;
       for (Book book:booksList) {
         System.out.println((i+1)+". " + book.getName());
         i++;

63 chickens killed by loud music from wedding, says poultry farmer
A local vet told him the chickens suffered heart attacks triggered by the loud music
By Binitha Jacob On 11/26/21 at 5:56 AM
A man demanded compensation for the loss of more than 60 broiler chickens that died on his poultry farm allegedly due to the loud music blaring from a wedding nearby. Ranjit Parida, the owner of the poultry farm in Odisha, India, claimed he lost 63 chickens that suffered heart attacks, triggered by the DJ's music from the wedding party on Sunday.
The wedding procession, along with the DJ, passed by Ranjit's farm around 11:00 p.m. The farm owner noticed how his chickens were acting strangely as the music grew louder. He found the chickens jumping and hissing as the procession came closer towards his poultry farm with booming music and firecrackers, according to Hindustan Times.
Ranjit made several requests and asked his neighbor to lower the volume. However, the "ear-splitting music" did not stop and caused Ranjit a loss of 63 chickens. After the birds collapsed, Ranjit desperately tried to revive them but to no avail.
"As the sound was too much to bear for the 2000 broiler chickens on my farm, I requested people in the marriage procession to lower the volume," Ranjit said. "However, they all seemed to be drunk and verbally abused me. The terrified chickens in my farm started running around in fear and an hour later I found 63 chickens dead," the farmer said.
The poultry farm owner, who had taken out a loan in 2019 to set up his broiler farm, was told by the local veterinarian that the loud music shocked the chickens and caused their ultimate demise.
Professor Suryakanta Mishra, a well-known zoology professor and author of a book on animal behavior, also noted how loud noises can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in birds and humans. "Chickens are governed by a circadian rhythm that is controlled by the natural light/dark cycle of day and night," Mishra said. "As such, chickens mostly rest and are inactive at night, especially when it is dark. Sudden excitement or stress due to loud DJ music can disrupt their biological clock leading to death," he added.
The day after the wedding, Ranjit confronted his neighbors and asked for compensation. However, his neighbor Ramachandra Parida refused to help and found the claims ridiculous, according to India Today.
"When lakhs of chickens are transported on the road on daily basis amid blaring horns, how is it possible that the birds in his farm died due to DJ music?" Ramachandra said. "However, after he came to me and complained about the loud noise, we lowered the volume," he claimed.
A complaint was filed at Nilagiri police station, and Balasore Police SP Sudhanshu Mishra said the issue was eventually resolved amicably.
"The charges were being verified," the officer said. "However, the issue has been settled by both parties amicably at the police station," he added.

Random and Odd's Stuff Portrait Friday is Takin' Names and Makin' wishes.
This is how this week works. Your 'stuff unnoticed' is something you have that goes unnoticed even though it's right there for the world to see. Or is it? Maybe it's unnoticed because it's a secret. You decide.
This corner of the dining area is one that I forget to dust when I clean. That plant is one we got from my in-laws for our first anniversary. It probably represents my marriage - it grows despite ignoring it every now and then and then it flourishes once again when it is nurtured.
My wish is that "Rob, Rob the Heart-throb" - Army of Dad's best friend (wearing the sunglasses) - makes it home quickly and safely. He leaves today for a 12-month tour of duty in Tikrit, Iraq.
This is the sink in the bathroom. Those are the toys that I rotate out of the tub. The kids get tired of something after a while, so we try something else. It works out well. Then, that is their towles and washcloths.
Ooo, I hope he makes it home safely. Great comparison of the photos/corner to your marriage. Happy SPF!
I've got lots of dust too! When someone comes to visit, I go on a major cleaning frenzy! I hope Army of Dad's friend is safe and sound.
Good idea on rotation of the toys.
Dusting? We're supposed to dust?
Dust? Huh? What is this dusting you speak of?
That looks like under the sink in my bathroom.
Great SPF! I hope your friend makes it back from Iraq safely. All the toys in my house are in the living room area but the little ones haven't bathed at grannie's yet. Great place to keep them out of sight, under the sink!
I love your analogy with that plant - awesome! Keeping Mr. Rob Rob the Hearth Throb in my prayers. I don't know how the families do it - letting a loved one go away for so long. God Bless you all!
Great photos! Love the plant story, isn't it so true!! I love all your pictures! I wish I had a space like that!
Tell your friend "Thank You" from my family and I'll keep him in my prayers.

Just saying what's on my mind…even the crazy things!

What Is Your Ideal Valentine's Day?
With Valentine's Day being today, my friend asked me last week what my ideal Valentine's Day would be like. Honestly, I never really thought about it. Partially because I've always thought of it as the man's job to plan Valentine's Day & also in part because I didn't have a date so it didn't really matter either way.
But for kicks & giggles, I thought I would indulge so here are some of the things that would help to make my Valentine's Day a perfect one:
Start the night before – any good event always begins with excitement & anticipation! By a man doing romantic things the day before & the week leading up to, it would really set the mood for me to have a nice Valentine's Day.
The day off – it would be absolutely amazing if my (future) husband called my manager at work to request the day off for me without me knowing (hey, I've seen it happen before!). But if not, me taking the day off to enjoy my entire Valentine's Day would be great!
Hire a private chef – going out to eat on Valentine's Day can be costly, not to mention crowded. While I do enjoy having a reason to get dressed up, it would be incredible if my boyfriend or husband booked a private chef to come to our home to cook us a nice dinner. A customized menu along with a personal touch would be a great way to wind down Valentine's Day.
Something handcrafted – homemade gifts are nice, but when they are made specifically for the person it's for, that's even better. Whether it's something with my initials, in my favorite color or hand tailored to my exact size, that's the type of gift that would make my Valentine's Day extra special.
A getaway weekend – it's always nice to go away, especially for a little romance. Whether it's just a weekend drive or a quick flight, I would love it if my significant other booked a trip for us & presented it to me as a total surprise.
Something to wear – it goes without saying that women love clothes! Whether it's in the form of a shopping spree, gift cards or freshly purchased clothes found hanging in my closet, buying me something to wear is always a nice gift for Valentine's Day.
Plan something! – a day off, a weekend trip, a nice dinner & beautiful clothing is all good but nothing trumps a "man with a plan". Whether it's a concert, a picnic, a play or some other type of activity, I would love to have somewhere to go to celebrate Valentine's. I've found that most men don't plan too well (whether it's a special day or not), so knowing that he went through the trouble of researching to find something that we both can enjoy would mean a lot to me. Having a plan for the day or for the entire weekend would be the best Valentine's Day gift of all!!
What would your ideal Valentine's Day look like? Let me know in the comments section below –

#FridaySmarts: Nobel Prize Winner Ralph Bunche
Ralph Johnson Bunche (August 7, 1904-1971) was born in Detroit, Michigan. His father, Fred Bunche, was a barber in a shop having a clientele of whites only; his mother, Olive (Johnson) Bunche, was an amateur musician; his grandmother, «Nana» Johnson, who lived with the family, had been born into slavery. When Bunche was ten years old, the family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the hope that the poor health of his parents would improve in the dry climate. Both, however, died two years later. His grandmother, an indomitable woman who appeared Caucasian «on the outside» but was «all black fervor inside»1, took Ralph and his two sisters to live in Los Angeles. Here Ralph contributed to the family's hard pressed finances by selling newspapers, serving as house boy for a movie actor, working for a carpet-laying firm, and doing what odd jobs he could find.
His intellectual brilliance appeared early. He won a prize in history and another in English upon completion of his elementary school work and was the valedictorian of his graduating class at Jefferson High School in Los Angeles, where he had been a debater and all-around athlete who competed in football, basketball, baseball, and track. At the University of California at Los Angeles he supported himself with an athletic scholarship, which paid for his collegiate expenses, and with a janitorial job, which paid for his personal expenses. He played varsity basketball on championship teams, was active in debate and campus journalism, and was graduated in 1927, summa cum laude, valedictorian of his class, with a major in international relations.
With a scholarship granted by Harvard University and a fund of a thousand dollars raised by the black community of Los Angeles, Bunche began his graduate studies in political science. He completed his master's degree in 1928 and for the next six years alternated between teaching at Howard University and working toward the doctorate at Harvard. The Rosenwald Fellowship, which he held in 1932-1933, enabled him to conduct research in Africa for a dissertation comparing French rule in Togoland and Dahomey. He completed his dissertation in 1934 with such distinction that he was awarded the Toppan Prize for outstanding research in social studies. From 1936 to 1938, on a Social Science Research Council fellowship, he did postdoctoral research in anthropology at Northwestern University, the London School of Economics, and Capetown University in South Africa.
Throughout his career, Bunche has maintained strong ties with education. He chaired the Department of Political Science at Howard University from 1928 until 1950; taught at Harvard University from 1950 to 1952; served as a member of the New York City Board of Education (1958-1964), as a member of the Board of Overseers of Harvard University (1960-1965), as a member of the Board of the Institute of International Education, and as a trustee of Oberlin College, Lincoln University, and New Lincoln School.
Bunche has always been active in the civil rights movement. At Howard University he was considered by some as a young radical intellectual who criticized both America's social system and the established Negro organizations, but generally he is thought of as a moderate. From his experience as co-director of the Institute of Race Relations at Swarthmore College in 1936, added to his firsthand research performed earlier, he wrote A World View of Race (1936). He participated in the Carnegie Corporation's well-known survey of the Negro in America, under the direction of the Swedish sociologist, Gunnar Myrdal, which resulted in the publication of Myrdal's An American Dilemma (1944). He was a member of the «Black Cabinet» consulted on minority problems by Roosevelt's administration; declined President Truman's offer of the position of assistant secretary of state because of the segregated housing conditions in Washington, D. C.; helped to lead the civil rights march organized by Martin Luther King, Jr., in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1965; supported the action programs of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and of the Urban League. Bunche has not himself formed organizations, nor has he aspired to positions of administrative leadership in existing civil rights organizations. Rather, he has exerted his influence personally in speeches and publications, especially during the twenty-year period from 1945 to 1965. His message has been clear: Racial prejudice is an unreasoned phenomenon without scientific basis in biology or anthropology; «segregation and democracy are incompatible»; blacks should maintain the struggle for equal rights while accepting the responsibilities that come with freedom; whites must demonstrate that «democracy is color-blind»2.
Ralph Bunche's enduring fame arises from his service to the U. S. government and to the UN. An adviser to the Department of State and to the military on Africa and colonial areas of strategic military importance during World War II, Bunche moved from his first position as an analyst in the Office of Strategic Services to the desk of acting chief of the Division of Dependent Area Affairs in the State Department. He also discharged various responsibilities in connection with international conferences of the Institute of Pacific Relations, the UN, the International Labor Organization, and the Anglo-American Caribbean Commission.
In 1946, UN Secretary-General Trygve Lie «borrowed» Bunche from the State Department and placed him in charge of the Department of Trusteeship of the UN to handle problems of the world's peoples who had not yet attained self-government. He has been associated with the UN ever since.
From June of 1947 to August of 1949, Bunche worked on the most important assignment of his career – the confrontation between Arabs and Jews in Palestine. He was first appointed as assistant to the UN Special Committee on Palestine, then as principal secretary of the UN Palestine Commission, which was charged with carrying out the partition approved by the UN General Assembly. In early 1948 when this plan was dropped and fighting between Arabs and Israelis became especially severe, the UN appointed Count Folke Bernadotte as mediator and Ralph Bunche as his chief aide. Four months later, on September 17, 1948, Count Bernadotte was assassinated, and Bunche was named acting UN mediator on Palestine. After eleven months of virtually ceaseless negotiating, Bunche obtained signatures on armistice agreements between Israel and the Arab States.
Bunche returned home to a hero's welcome. New York gave him a «ticker tape» parade up Broadway; Los Angeles declared a «Ralph Bunche Day ». He was besieged with requests to lecture, was awarded the Spingarn Prize by the NAACP in 1949, was given over thirty honorary degrees in the next three years, and the Nobel Peace Prize for 1950.
Backhanded Compliments African American Women Hear All The Time
Compliments are supposed to be praises about some of your best attributes. Who doesn't like being complimented? Unless, of course, the other side of the compliment is a glaring insult. There are many different kinds of reprehensible perspectives (i.e. ageism, sexism) but today we will focus on backhanded comments that are loaded with racism. In the words of Kanye West, "Racism's still alive, they just be concealing it."
The saddest part about these kinds of backhanded compliments that are submerged in racial bias and prejudice is that the people offering the "compliments" are often unaware of how offensive their words can be. Their intent is to point out a seemingly positive attribute, when in actuality they are being terribly disparaging.
1. "You're beautiful for a dark-skinned girl…"
… As if typically the darker your complexion, the more unattractive you become. Thank you for identifying me as an exception to that rule. Really, I'm humbled.
Psych.
First of all, as soon as you insert the preposition "for" you should know that you are about to go off the charts on the obnoxious scale. It's like my favorite saying, "I don't want to be racist or anything, but…" The universe should have sounded a buzzer and hologrammed a gigantic "X" into your peripherals to warn you to stop. Since it didn't, here's some advice — telling a girl that you aren't usually into black women but that you're into her is NEVER a compliment. It's colorism at it's finest.
2. "Your hair's amazing. Can I touch it?"
I didn't realize I was an exhibit on display, but sure. Afterwards, can I touch your belly button? I've never seen such a penetrating and complex midriff opening.
I get it, I really do. Our society has a fixation with all things "exotic" and "foreign." You don't mean to be offensive and you're even asking permission! But here's the truth. Asking a woman if you can touch her hair like it's some kind of pet dog is racist. Staring at her hair like it's the eighth world wonder is uncomfortable. If you like it, tell her it's pretty and MOVE ON.
3. "Wow … You're so articulate!"
Ummm … thanks? I'm overjoyed that you find my ability to form complete sentences so impressive. Just wait until I actually start discussing my views on Donald Trump. You're going to think I'm a genius!
This is a tough one because you might be saying this with sincerity; however, it's essential that you ask yourself why you're making this comment. Are you truly moved by the way she speaks or are you really impressed because you believe that other people that look like her are usually aren't eloquent and are uneducated?
Unless she just finished summarizing her doctoral thesis for you, you may come off as condescending. The connotation behind this compliment is that you are surprised that she is well-spoken and well-informed because she is a woman of color.
There is a misguided perception in America that most blacks speak slang and are "ghetto." Whether or not you agree with this perception, it's one that exists.
Don't sound so surprised when she speaks sensibly and just enjoy the conversation.
4. "You're beautiful. What are you?"
I was once approached by a woman who stepped away from a group that was apparently debating my possible mixed race combinations. Despite being prefaced by how striking I was, it felt a little weird that they were taking bets on "what I was."
Approaching someone and asking them what they are as if they are some kind of science experiment is just rude – that's it. Don't do it. That's all there is to say about that.
5. "You look just like (insert celebrity minority that looks nothing like you)"
Unless someone is a doppelganger for a celebrity, in which case they hear the comparison all the time, you're better off staying away from this comment. The best example I can think of is when a news anchor interviewing Samuel L. Jackson confused him for Laurence Fishburne. It's that same attitude that caused the news anchor to generalize and not take the time to research the celebrity he was interviewing that can be offensive when you compare people to black or mixed celebrities.
At the end of the day, not everyone will be offended by the same thing or in the same way, but in most situations it's better to air on the side of caution. If your intent is truly to give a compliment, steer clear of these inadvertent insults that camouflage as admiration. And ladies — if you receive said "compliments" you can and you should say how you feel. People will continue to make ignorant mistakes if no one ever calls them out on it.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH IS HERE! (Yay!)
I am excited about February! This is the time of the year when I get to talk about Black History & all the contributions Africans Americans have made to this country. After all, if I don't talk about it, who will? I think it is imperative that our accomplishments be highlighted all year long but I really enjoy emphasizing them during the month of February. Since it is February, I will also write about dating, relationships and love. Not to fear, I will keep it spicy!
Here's what Chocolate Vent will look like this month –
Question of the Day: These will be replaced with quotes from famous African Americans. However, I will post QOTD on my Facebook site. Follow me on Facebook for more details.
Sunday: I'll continue with weekly scriptures, however, the quote of the week will be from an African American preacher.
Monday – Saturday: These posts will be a mix between African-American related topics and dating/relationship topics.
Facebook: Any articles posted here will be related to Black History or dating & relationships. I will post open-ended 'Question of the Day' on my Facebook site.
Twitter: My tweets this month will be stricly an ode to Black History Month (with some occasional "randomness" sprinkled in)
Instagram: Expect to see more photos posted on my Instagram page. They might be pictures from my neighborhood, a funny meme, my friends hanging out or maybe just a strange street sign. You just never know!
Pinterest: I'm still building my following on Pinterest. This month I'll be sure to pin photos relating to Black History Month.
If you aren't already, please follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. You won't be disappointed. Happy reading & more importantly Happy Black History Month!!
My Ode To The Importance Of Black History Month
Black History Month is upon us so I will be dedicating some of my posts towards its significance and the achievements of African Americans in this country. Everyone needs to be enlightened about the contributions (some of which were voluntary, some were involuntary) of African Americans in this society.
Most people in this country know that February is Black History Month, but they may not know the origin. Why February? Why an entire month? So, I'll start with the basics…
The idea to set apart a special time of year to celebrate the achievements of African Americans was conceived in the early twentieth century by the father of Black History, Carter G. Woodson. Carter G. Woodson, a Harvard educated man, was intent on raising awareness of African American contributions in American society. Originally called "Negro History Week", Woodson chose the month of February because it was the birth month of Frederick Douglas & Abraham Lincoln, both of whom had contributed greatly to the advancement of African Americans.
Following the Civil Rights movements of the 1960's the consciousness of Black history greatly developed. In honor of the nation's bicentennial in 1976, the celebration was expanded to the entire month of February. President Gerald R. Ford urged Americans to "seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history." Since then each American president has issued Black History Month proclamations and people all around the country continue to promote Black History Month.

jingle belles: Nothing Sketchy Here!
...used limited tools and ingredients from a Christmas card kit, but was inspired by the sketch to use all of the "bits" in completely different ways, and we are quite smitten with the result!
...chose to repeat the same simple image in all three circles, then took this card to the next level with beautifully vivid, non-traditional colors!
...swapped the circles for diecut snowflakes, each one framing an adorable snowman; what a great way to feature smaller stamps!
Many thanks to everyone who played along, we love seeing every single one of your creations. We'll be back at midnight with a brand new prompt we'll hope will shape up into major inspiration!
Thank you so much for choosing my card and congrats to the other choices. I can't wait to play again. Hopefully, I'll have some supplies to use!
Thanks for featuring my card. I loved the sketch!

Metal Siding comes in both exposed and concealed fastener systems. In most cases, they can be installed over a wood substrate, open framing and stucco or cement [at a slightly higher cost]. On exposed fastener systems, the screws are painted to match the material to minimize they look and come with a special grommeted washer.


The first adventure that Frank had was when he met a strange beast named Lucky.
The second adventure was when it was time for him to take a shower because of his awful fish breath and I really don't think he liked it when the water started to spray down at him.
What's a bird gotta do around here to get a little privacy?
After that horrible experience with the shower, he felt like snuggling up with some stuffed critters.
Then when he woke he felt like playing some floor hockey in our basement rink. He really got scared as goalie.
Also, another adventure was when he was playing basketball. Surprisingly, he made a slam dunk!
Next, he felt like visiting someone so he chose the Smurfs, they looked kind, but when he went there they all ran away.
After terrorizing the Smurfs, he went to visit the Legos. They attacked him with a dragon and other horrible creatures so he grabbed the first helmet he could find!
Finally, he just felt like chilling after that week of excitement!!! That was Frank's grand adventure at my house.
I can't wait to see what other adventures lie ahead.

External insulin pumps have gained popularity because of increased flexibility of dosing, improved glycemic control and a lower incidence of hypoglycemia when compared with traditional insulin injection methods (5,6,45-48). However, CSII requires that patients count carbohydrates, SMBG frequently and carefully control caloric intake to avoid hypoglycemia and excessive weight gain. Failure to deliver rapid-acting insulin (due to pump malfunction, catheter occlusion or catheter disconnection) can lead to hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis within several hours, because of the small depot of sc insulin (two to four units) during typical basal CSII therapy (25,33,45).
Although pumps can deliver basal and bolus doses of rapid-acting insulin (insulin Lispro or insulin Aspart in the USA) into the sc tissue with great precision, initial absorption into the circulation can be delayed up to 20 min, with 30% to 50% intra-subject variability (31,32,34,35). Large bolus doses and high basal rates are associated with a four to 10 unit depot of sc insulin. Once delivered into the sc tissue, the depot of rapid-acting insulin may not be completely absorbed into the circulation for 2-4 h. This highlights a major limitation of CSII insulin therapy; plasma insulin levels will continue to rise for several hours even if the patient attempts to decrease the actions of insulin by stopping the delivery of insulin (35,45).
Doyle et al. performed a prospective randomized clinical trial in patients with type 1 diabetes comparing pump therapy with Lispro insulin (CSII) and multiple dose therapy using Lispro and Glargine insulin (MDI). Fifty percent of the patients managed with CSII achieved near-normal BG control (HbA1c < 7%), compared to only 12% of patients managed with MDI (46). In another randomized clinical trial, Rudolph et al. (49) demonstrated a 74% reduction in the incidence of severe hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetic patients managed with CSII compared to MDI.
Modern pumps are small, light weight, water-resistant, reliable and highly programmable. Advanced pumps manufactured by Medtronic Diabetes and Smiths-Medical communicate wirelessly with a patient's SMBG meter, while an Animas Corporation pump has a detailed library of meals and an algorithm that calculates an optimal meal bolus dose of rapid-acting insulin. Improved estimation of meal carbohydrate content leads to decreased postprandial hyperglycemia (36). Several pumps have an "insulin on board" feature that estimates the future glucose-lowering effect of delivered insulin to prevent the patient from injecting additional insulin when a large amount is already present in the subcutaneous depot. The inadvertent stacking of meal or correction boluses of rapid-acting insulin often leads to hypoglycemia (28,33,46,47).
Medtronic Diabetes recently received FDA approval for a device that combines the Guardian RT continuous glucose monitoring system with an insulin pump (Fig. 7). Patients are able to utilize the real-time glucose and insulin trend data to improve BG control with meals, exercise and sleep (19,20,22). This exciting technology is limited because the patient must frequently look at the CGM display, thus clinical decisions about therapy are made intermittently. Future devices may "close the loop" during sleep or continuously throughout the day.

Glucose data is sent wirelessly from telemetry module to insulin pump. Glucose data displayed on y-axis and time of day on x-axis. CGMS is open-loop system, requiring patient initiated SMBG for change in insulin dose (www.medtronicdiabetes.com).
