An important way of satisfying a deep subconscious need for self-esteem and personal value is acceptance.
Sociologists say that lack of acceptance, or rejection from individuals or groups, is the main cause for many problems with disaffected groups in our society. Much of the antisocial behaviors of these groups is aimed at somehow gaining the acceptance of people who they feel do not accept them currently and to gain healthy relationships.
In healthy relationships, this is what everyone is seeking. Everyone wants to be liked and accepted just the way they are.
If all you did was to continually express unconditional acceptance to each person you meet, both at home and at your workplace, you would soon be one of the most popular in your world. And how do you express unconditional acceptance? Simple. It's to wear a smile.
It takes twelve muscles to smile and 113 muscles to frown. When you smile at another person, a warm, genuine smile, you tell that other person that he or she is attractive, pleasant, likeable, safe and secure in your estimation. A single smile is so powerful that it can often transform a person with low self-esteem, jolting them from negativity to a person with a positive attitude.
Each morning, when you come to work, "do the rounds." Go to each person on your team and smile at them. Ask them how they are. Take a few moments to listen patiently and smile while they tell you what they are doing and how they are feeling. As you go from person to person, like a lamp lighter going from lamp to lamp, they will light up and smile themselves, feeling happy about being at work. When you go around and smile at people, it is very much like stepping on the accelerator of their potential and igniting positive attitude wherever you go. They start to perform at a higher level because their self-esteem has risen.
There is a big payoff for smiling at people. When you smile at another person, the physical action releases endorphins in your brain. Endorphins are called nature's "happy drug." They make you feel happy and raise your self-esteem. When you smile, you feel and act in a more personable way to everyone around you and exude a feeling of positive attitude. The most popular and influential people in most situations are people who genuinely smile at others when they meet them and greet them.
Every time you smile, you not only make other people feel better about themselves, but you raise your self-esteem, increase your level of positive attitude and feel better about yourself as well. You will start to build healthy relationships all around you. All it takes is the deliberate decision by you to smile at the people around you, and to express to them that you are genuinely happy to see them. The opposite of smiling is being negative or passive. It is walking around the office with a glum or a negative look on your face. Since everyone takes everything personally, if you are negative for any reason, each of your staff members wonders if it is something that they have done personally that has made you happy. They become preoccupied with your mood. They slow down their work and their creativity comes to a halt. If you are negative for any period of time, they start to talk about it and worry about their jobs. Even if you are negative because you have an abscessed tooth that is causing you pain and discomfort, because other people do not know this, they will assume that they have done something wrong that has displeased you.
From this day onward, decide that you are going to smile at each person in your department each morning when you go in. Walk around and greet them and ask them how they are doing. Treat them as if they were working for free and their coming to work was purely voluntary. Treat them as if you owe them money and you are behind on the payments. Treat them as if their work were essential to your success in doing your work, which it is.

We're in the throes of an epidemic. And it's one of voluminous proportions.
This down jacket is showing up on stylish women from New York City to Seattle to the Chicago suburbs—and its ubiquity is only increasing.
The style of the jacket is decidedly fashion-y, yet not intimidatingly so. The front is paneled and features six oversize pockets that form a quilted design. Its cocoon-like shape is shorter in the front and longer in the back, with an almost layered look. There's a shearling-style liner in the hood, a good, tight seal at the sweatshirt-y cuffs, plus side zips for easy mobility.
The jacket also comes in five wearable colors—black, gray, green, beige and navy. So at least if you're braving the elements in the very same coat as the woman sitting next to you on the commuter train, there's a chance your army green will stand out against her black version.
This omnipresent topper isn't made by some fancy designer with a Madison Avenue boutique. It's available on Amazon from a brand called Orolay—and it retails for $140, a pretty reasonable price for a coat that could last you for years.
The 6,290 (and counting!) customer reviews on Amazon are mostly positive, and customers especially love the price. If the Orolay Women's Thickened Down Jacket hasn't yet arrived in your town, you could scoop one up and consider yourself a trendsetter. Or if you just want to get on the bandwagon with everyone else, now you know where they're all shopping!

John Hillcoat isn't done with the crime genre yet. The director behind The Proposition, Lawless, and Triple 9 will direct Honor for Sale, a true story about corruption and drugs that takes place between 1969 to 1976. In the 1970s, a total of 500 pounds of narcotics were stolen from the NYPD's Property Clerk Office, and Hillcoat is going to show audiences how it all went down.

Greetings, folks! After the first really nice weekend in Toronto, it feels like we're really getting into the swing of things. There are so many updates about KlezFactor, the Europa CD, and my participation in Klezmer in Toronto coming up but the first one deals with an exciting project that I'll be busy with next weekend.
The Mike Anklewicz/Brian Katz Trio is getting off the ground with two performances (on back-to-back days) beginning with Sunday, May 29 at the Free Times Cafe. If you've been following along, you'll know that I've been playing the brunch there for probably around a decade now and it's great to be playing with Brian Katz (guitar) and Jim Sexton (bass). The Brunch is a $21.95 All-You-Can-Eat Jewish style buffet with enough blintzes, latkes, bagels, cream cheese and other tasty goodies to make you plotz! For reservations, call 416-967-1078.
If you've never heard Brian play, he's a staple of the Toronto new Jewish music scene. He's an amazing musician who blends the traditional and the improvisatory on classical guitar and has played with people like Lenka Lichtenberg and Martin van de Ven (his and Martin's CD called "Collected Stories" is just beautiful). Jim is a versatile bassist who plays jazz and klezmer and everything under the sun! He's played with me several times at the Free Times and it's always great to hear his interesting basslines thumping away.
Our second performance is coming at Jewish Music Week, where we play The Terraces at Baycrest (55 Ameer Ave.) at 2:00PM on Monday, May 30. Our selection of tunes will be very similar, although we'll be sticking more to the traditional klezmer style for JMW. Billed as "The KlezFactor Trio," Brian, Jim and I will be performing a traditional variety of klezmer tunes with a little bit of extra information packed in there. I'll be using that good old PhD that I did studying Klezmer music to tell you all about the history and some of the interesting facts about each of the tunes. Whether you come to learn more about klezmer or you just want to hear some great music, come out on Monday, May 30 to hear "The KlezFactor Trio"!
We have a date booked for the release of KlezFactor: Europa! More information coming soon!

It's been a great year for planetary observers and imagers! One after another, the three bright major planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars reached opposition from early May to late July 2018. Planetary imagers have been busy this summer collecting data and processing some fantastic images of these three fascinating worlds. Here's a collection of recent images collected by amateur astronomers from around the world.
Jupiter reached opposition on May 9, 2018 in the constellation Libra. The planet reached a maximum apparent size of 45" and a maximum brightness of -2.5. Northern observers had a challenge this year as the planet was some 15 degrees south of the celestial equator, but many imagers, including those featured below, still captured some great shots of the biggest of planets.
The next opposition of Jupiter is on June 10, 2019.
Image 1 – Ivan Gong of Zhuhai, China captured this image of Jupiter and Io from his balcony on May 27, 2018. He used a Sky-Watcher 12" Dobsonian, ZWO ASI290MM camera, Tele Vue 3x barlow, and Optolong LRGB filters. See more of Ivan's work at this link: https://www.astrobin.com/users/ivan11223/
Image 2 – Nikita Misiura captured this image/GIF of Jupiter and Io on May 8, 2018 from Houston, TX. He used a Meade LX200 10" f/10 telescope, ZWO ASI224MC telescope, and a 2x barlow. See more of Nikita's work at this link: https://www.astrobin.com/users/nekitmm/
Image 3 – Avani Soares captured this image of Jupiter about a month before opposition on April 7, 2018 with a 14" CelestronEdgeHD, a ZWO ASI290MC camera, and a Tele Vue 2.5x Powermate. Avani, who observes from his Parsec Observatory in Canoas, Brazil, shares some of his work on the AstronomyConnect forums. You can see more of his work at this link: https://www.astrobin.com/users/astroavani/
Saturn reached opposition on June 27, 2018 in the constellation Sagittarius. The planet reached a maximum apparent equatorial size of 18.4" and a maximum brightness of 0.0. As with Jupiter, northern observers had a challenge this year as the planet was about 22 degrees south of the celestial equator. The rings were tilted dramatically this year at an angle of about 25 degrees which made this beautiful planet exceptionally photogenic.
The next opposition of Saturn is on July 9, 2019.
Image 4 – Niall MacNeill took advantage of his location in Wattle Flat, New South Wales, Australia to capture this image showing extraordinary detail and structure in the polar and temperate regions of Saturn. Imaged with a Celestron 14" EdgeHD telescope, a ZWO ASI174MM camera, a Tele Vue 2.5x Powermate, and a ZWO LRGB 1.25" filter set. Image captured on July 5, 2018, about three weeks before opposition. See more of Niall's work at this link: https://www.astrobin.com/users/macnenia/
Image 5 – Using a 12" Sky-Watcher BKP300 12" Newtonian reflector, Michael Wong captured this image of Saturn on June 21, 2018. His location in New South Wales, Australia, where the planet was nearly overhead, helped Michael capture an amazing level of detail. He used a ZWO ASI290MM camera and a Tele Vue 4x Powermate. See more of Michael's work here: https://www.astrobin.com/users/lgwong/
Image 6 – You don't always need a big telescope to capture a great image of a planet. Darren Mach put together this image of Saturn with a Celestron 6SE telescope, ASI290MC camera, and a Tele Vue 2.5x Powermate. The image was captured on June 29, 2018, near enough to opposition where the brightness of the rings may have been enhanced by the Seeliger Effect. See more of Darren's work at this link: https://www.astrobin.com/users/DMach/
Mars reached opposition on July 27, 2018 in the constellation Capricorn. This was the best Martian opposition in 15 years.The planet reached a maximum apparent equatorial size of 24.3" and a maximum brightness of -2.8. As with Jupiter and Saturn, northern observers had a challenge this year as the planet was about 25 degrees south of the celestial equator, almost as far south as it ever gets. To make matters worse, a planet-wide dust storm obscured many features in the days leading up to the opposition. But patience and good equipment helped serious imagers get some great shots of Mars this year.
The next opposition of Mars is on October 13, 2020.
Image 7 – U.S.-based observer Molly Wakeling captured this image of Mars as the dust storms began to fade on August 5, 2018. She used a CelestronNexStar 8SE telescope, a ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro camera, and an Astronomik color filter set. See more of Molly's work at her blog: http://astronomollylog.blogspot.com/ or her AstroBin page: https://www.astrobin.com/users/mollycule/
Image 8 – A GIF of Mars by Niall MacNeill of Wattle Flat, New South Wales, Australia showing the planet rotating over 2.5 hours. Note the appearance of the giant shield volcanoes at the upper left in the last few frames of the GIF. Imaged with a Celestron 14" EdgeHD telescope, a ZWO ASI174MM camera, a Tele Vue 2.5x Powermate, and a ZWO LRGB 1.25" filter set. Image captured on August 17, 2018, about three weeks after opposition. See more of Niall's work at this link: https://www.astrobin.com/users/macnenia/
Image 9 – Images of Mars in visual and IR by Avani Soares captured on July 31, 2018 with a 14" Celestron EdgeHD, a ZWO ASI290MC camera, and a Tele Vue 2.5x Powermate from his Parsec Observatory in Canoas, Brazil. You can see more of his work at this link: https://www.astrobin.com/users/astroavani/

Q: Proving that given two linearly independent vectors in a plane, any third vector in that same plane is linearly dependent Given that $$U =  \{\alpha i + \beta k | α,β ∈\mathbb R\}$$
Write down two linearly independent vectors $u, v$ in this set.
Show that if you take any third vector $w ∈ U$ ,then the three vectors $u, v, w$ are linearly dependent.
My half attempt: $$\mathbf v = \{0\mathbf i + 1\mathbf k\} $$
$$\mathbf u = \{1\mathbf i + 0\mathbf k\} $$
I'm basically stuck here. Any help/clarification is greatly appreciated (:
Side note: how do you go about proving this without using matrices?

A: So it seems like $U$ has dimension 2. Meaning that two linearly independent vectors form a basis. Hence, any third vector can be written as a linear combination of your two basis elements. Maybe you can work your way from here.

Before there was TVtropes (though not, of course, before tropes), Boswell wondered if Doorstop Babies were common in myth and legend because they are like quicksand or like divorce. Quicksand is rare in reality, but fascinating and convenient for fiction, so it shows up in stories a lot. Divorce is also common in fiction (especially "literature") — but, if anything, even *more* common in real life.
Boswell marshals evidence showing that abandoned children were one of the fundamental facts of life from the classical though the modern period in Europe, though the exact ways and means varied in different periods.
Required reading for anyone who wants to abandon a fictional child.

N601RH accident description
Nearest city Belfast, ME
N601RH
SIAI-Marchetti SF-260
On April 6, 2008, about 1755 eastern daylight time, an SIAI-Marchetti, SF-260, N601RH, was substantially damaged when it impacted the water of Penobscot Bay, while maneuvering near Belfast Municipal Airport (BST), Belfast, Maine. The certificated commercial pilot was killed. The local personal flight was conducted under 14 Code of Federal Regulation Part 91, and no flight plan was filed. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident.
A witness observed the airplane performing a "lazy barrel roll;" while the airplane was "still upside down," it was observed to pitch down towards the water and "disappear." Another witness observed the airplane starting a "lazy climb" as thought it was going to go into the clouds. The witness then heard "the loudest bang" and could not reacquire the airplane. One witness reported that it sounded similar to an engine "back fire," but considerably "louder than a back fire." The depth of the water was approximately 60 feet and the airplane was not recovered. The landing gear and some seat cushions were recovered.
The diver who recovered the body of the pilot reported that "everything forward of the rear seat was shredded." He further stated that the only item resembling an airplane was the tailcone section.
PERSONNEL INFORMATION
The pilot held a commercial pilot certificate, with ratings for airplane single-engine land, airplane multi-engine land, and instrument airplane. He also held a private pilot certificate, with a rating for airplane single-engine sea. His most recent Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) second-class medical certificate was issued on April 1, 2008. According to the accident pilot's last medical application form, he accumulated 3,600 total hours of flight experience, and flew 30 hours in the previous 6 months.
AIRPLANE INFORMATION
The airplane was manufactured in Italy in 1971 and was registered in the United States on January 3, 1985. The airplane was powered by a Lycoming O-540-E4A5 engine, serial number L-12386-40. The most recent annual inspection on both the airframe and engine was completed on January 18, 2008. At that time both logbooks recorded a tachometer time of 1,637.2 total hours and the engine logbook recorded a time since major overhaul of 940 hours. The most recent entry in the airframe logbook, dated March 24, 2008, revealed an eddy current inspection was accomplished on the lower bolt holes of the left and right forward spar roots, spar connection plates, and the center area on the lower spar connection plates, and no defects were noted.
METEORLOGICAL INFORMATION
The 1755 recorded weather conditions at the Knox County Regional Airport (RKD), Rockland, Maine, located approximately 21 miles south of the accident site, included an overcast ceiling at 3,200 feet and visibility 10 miles.
The airplane was located by flex of paint and an oil slick on top of the water. The Maine State Police (MSP) dive team dove down at that location and located the wreckage scattered in an area of approximately 80 feet in diameter. The divers attached a rope to the tail section and raised it to the surface of the water to extract the pilot. Upon removal of the body the State Police untied the tail and allowed it to settle to the bay floor.
MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Maine performed an autopsy on the pilot on April 8, 2008. The cause of death was multiple blunt force injuries.
Toxicological testing was performed post mortem at the FAA's Bioaeronautical Sciences Research Laboratory, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The tests were negative for carbon monoxide, cyanide, ethanol, and drugs.
TEST AND RESEARCH
An FAA Air Traffic Control (ATC) radar track of an airplane with a transponder beacon code of 1200 was located. This radar recording was from the Bangor, Maine FAA ATC facility, located approximately 28 nautical miles to the northeast of the accident site; the radar recording was recorded in approximate 5-second sweeps. The target was seen climbing out of BST at 1753.06, at an altitude of 500 feet above mean sea level (msl). The target was departing on a northwest ground track and making a right turn at 1753.12, at altitude of 600 feet msl. The target was then on a ground track of 151 degrees magnetic at an altitude of 1,200 feet msl, ascending to the highest altitude recorded for the flight of 1,900 feet msl. The last radar target observed was at 1754.57, with a ground track of 169 degrees magnetic, a ground speed of 150 knots, and was located at 44 degrees 24.0244 minutes north latitude and 068 degrees 57.4267 minutes west longitude. This was in close proximity to the wreckage site.
On July 22, 2008, in joint effort with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Emergency Response Team (ERT) and MSP, a dive was accomplished to videotape the wreckage on site. The aircraft wreckage was found utilizing GPS and sonar. The tail of the airplane was located 1/2 mile from the main wreckage site. The MSP reported to the National Transportation Safety Board investigator that while raising the tail of the aircraft to the surface, in order to recover the pilot, the current allowed the boat to drift down current and once finished, they released the tail, which accounts for the tail of the airplane not in the same location as the main wreckage. The tail of the airplane was originally co-located with the rest of the airplane. On July 22, 2008 the tail section was videotaped by the FBI ERT on the bay floor. The tail section exhibited signs of tensile overload along the horizontal stabilizer in a positive (upward) direction. On July 23 and 24, 2008, the main wreckage was videotaped by the FBI ERT as well as the MSP dive team. The wings spars were located and exhibited signs of tensile overload in the positive (upward) direction.
ADDITIONAL RESEARCH
The FAA's Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (FAA-H-8083-25) states in part, "…under normal flight conditions, when there is a visual reference to the horizon and ground, the sensory system in the inner ear helps to identify the pitch, roll, and yaw movements of the airplane. When visual contact with the horizon is lost, the vestibular system becomes unreliable. Without visual references outside the airplane, there are many situations where combinations of normal motions and forces can create convincing illusions that are difficult to overcome."
The Handbook further states in part, "A sloping cloud formation, an obscured horizon …can provide inaccurate visual information, or false horizon, for aligning the aircraft correctly with the actual horizon. The disoriented pilot may place the aircraft in a dangerous attitude."
The FAA's Advisory Circular 60-4A states in part, "The attitude of an aircraft is generally determined by reference to the natural horizon or other visual references with the surface. If neither horizon nor surface references exist, the attitude of an aircraft must be determined by artificial means from the flight instruments. Sight, supported by other senses, allows the pilot to maintain orientation. However; during periods of low visibility, the supporting senses sometimes conflict with what is seen. When this happens, a pilot is particularly vulnerable to disorientation. The degree of orientation may vary considerably with individual pilots. Spatial disorientation to a pilot means simply the inability to tell which way is "up."...Surface references and the natural horizon may at times become obscured, although visibility may be above flight rule minimums. Lack of natural horizon or such reference is common on overwater flights, at night, and especially at night in extremely sparsely populated areas, or in low visibility conditions.... The disoriented pilot may place the aircraft in a dangerous attitude.... Therefore, the use of flight instruments is essential to maintain proper attitude when encountering any of the elements which may result in spatial disorientation."

Q: Java not honoring the classpath specification with -cp option when running with a jar I am running a program like the following:
java -cp /deploy/conf -jar test.jar

test.jar has a class that tries to load properties from a file located in /deploy/conf like the following:
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("config.properties")

The thing is I print out the classpath from both the thread's class loader and the system class loader and neither contain the value /deploy/conf that I specified with the -cp option.
How can I make sure that java program passes along the values that I specify with -cp option to the thread's class loader?

A: From the Tools documentation for java with the -jar option:

When you use this option, the JAR file is the source of all user classes, and other user class path settings are ignored.

Usually this means you need to use a Manifest Class-Path entry. In this case you can't refer to an absolute path with a Class-Path entry, so you must load the file as a file, not as a resource.

A: You can try using a FileInputStream directly instead of the resource loading process, e.g. using something like:
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream ("/deploy/conf/config.properties");

Growing up as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I knew little about my Cherokee roots. My biological father is Cherokee but he left when I was still a toddler, and my mother is so fanatical about Jehovah's Witnesses that the religion was the only "culture" or lifestyle in our home.
After leaving the JW religion I began to learn about the Cherokee way of life, which explained much about me as a person while also disproving many aspects of the rigid belief system of Jehovah's Witnesses!
Jehovah's Witness Families Versus Cherokee Families
First, a quick crash course on the Cherokee family structure.
The Cherokee nation is comprised of seven clans; families of each clan lived near one other in what you might call their own little neighborhood.
When a couple married, the man left his clan and went to live with the wife's clan, becoming part of her family and not the other way around.
Since children came out of the woman's body they were seen as belonging to her, receiving their lineage through the mother's clan, not the father's. If a couple divorced, the children stayed with the mother while the husband typically went back to live with his mother's clan.
Male Headship in the Religion of Jehovah's Witnesses
Men have all authority in the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses, with women expected to be "silent" and "submissive." While men might enjoy this power and prominence, the religion also puts a huge burden on their shoulders; JW men have primary responsibility of providing for the family, training and disciplining children, making major decisions, and the list goes on.
Responsibility of Cherokee Women
Cherokee men did have responsibilities; they often spent days if not weeks away from the home, hunting and fishing. Men also built the cabins in which Cherokee lived, made repairs to those homes, and whatever else was needed to care for the family.
Cherokee women worked hard as well, mostly tending to crops, as men and women had equal responsibility for putting food on the table. Those crops, along with baskets, blankets, and other items women made provided for her family, and were also traded, making up the backbone of the nation's economy.
Women also had primary responsibility for raising children and overseeing care of their lands, home, and entire clan, especially while the men were off hunting.
A typical Cherokee home, being tended to by the women.
Property was passed down through Cherokee daughters, not sons, and belonged to the woman's clan; as women were tasked with caring for children and all other relatives, this arrangement ensured everyone had a roof over their heads.
The Cherokee family arrangement not only respected the work and abilities of women, it alleviated men from the burden of being the sole provider for families, or even giving them a home in the first place! The women they married would already have a place to live and typically provided for the clan materially more so than men.
Marriage, Divorce, and the Cherokee
Jehovah's Witnesses have a strict view of divorce and only allow a divorced person to remarry if their mate was unfaithful. Women in violent homes are even encouraged to consider staying with an abuser in the hopes of converting him.
See also: Watchtower's Blatant Misogyny in Advice for Innocent Wives
In Cherokee culture, husbands and wives were expected to be faithful but Cherokee marriages were also often short-lived, lasting perhaps a decade or so. While divorce was not permitted for frivolous reasons, it was allowed on the grounds of incompatibility.
If you see this attitude toward marriage as crude or unloving, step back and consider where you got the idea the marriage should be "til death do us part" in the first place. Probably the bible, which didn't dictate Cherokee culture. To the Cherokee, divorce was not seen as sinful or even shameful.
This view of marriage made allowances for how people and, in turn, their relationships change over the years; the person who makes you happy at 20 is not always going to make you happy at 40, and the Cherokee respected that.
The Cherokee culture also ensured marriage was not a trap for husbands or wives! Jehovah's Witnesses don't say that wives can't work, but JW men have the primary responsibility of providing for a family. Illustrations in their literature also depict JW women in the kitchen far too often, even just looking on while husbands interact with children in another room:
These views often keep both men and women in unhappy relationships; men feel religious obligations to stay and bring home a paycheck, and women stay because they might struggle to support themselves outside the marriage.
This wasn't so in the Cherokee nation. Since women owned property, clans all lived together, and divorced men simply went back to another household, no one worried about how children would be provided for, where they would live, who would care for them as they got older, etc., after a separation.
In my opinion, those short-lived Cherokee relationships were probably more genuine than Jehovah's Witness marriages. I remember many JW marriages ruled by a sense of obligation, not because spouses loved or even liked each other. How is that a real marriage? For the Cherokee, marriage was a choice you made because the relationship made you happy, not because you were contractually obligated to stay.
Equal Authority and Standing of Cherokee Women
Women hold no positions of authority in the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses; they are not allowed to teach in the congregation and are expected to defer to virtually any male present, even in matters relating to their own children.
Jehovah's Witnesses say this is for the "orderly arrangement of things," as if life would be chaotic without men in charge, but the Cherokee culture disproves this notion. Within the Cherokee, every member of the clan had full involvement in decision making; women could also be chiefs, healers, and any other position in the nation, equal to men in all respects.
How was this arrangement chaotic and disorderly? The Cherokee built an entire nation that thrived for centuries around the belief that men and women are equal in intelligence, abilities, and responsibilities, without question.
As with the family, Jehovah's Witness men are saddled with sometimes crushing burdens of responsibilities in the religion; the elder's handbook, "Shepherd the Flock of God," is over 270 pages, for example. Elders also get a myriad of instructional letters and attend separate meetings and schooling; the men are solely responsible for overseeing the upkeep of properties, handling the finances, delivering public sermons and the vast majority of other presentations, investigating supposed sins, and the list goes on.
As with the family, JW men often relish being the boss in the religion, but this authority comes with a heavy price. When there are two adults anywhere, be that at home or a religious setting, the work and responsibilities of those adults should be halved, as they were with the Cherokee. Instead, Jehovah's Witness men are given a laundry list of work in the Kingdom Hall, while women do very little for the religion but preach and help clean the buildings.
Violence Against Women Among Jehovah's Witnesses Versus the Cherokee
In older Cherokee culture, rape and domestic violence no doubt happened but they were rare, especially considering that women had full voice in all clan decisions including criminal matters, and full rights to divorce a man. Entire clans living together also gave women more protection against domestic abuse than someone isolated from her family and under the control of her husband alone.
In the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses, domestic violence was not uncommon in the congregations where I grew up, with men physically slapping, shoving, and even hitting their wives. Elders blamed women for this abuse and told them to ask their husbands for forgiveness for having "provoked" them into hitting them.
See also: Does Telling Women and Children to "Be Obedient" to Their Abusers Contribute to Unchecked Child Molestation Among Jehovah's Witnesses?
Elders are even outright instructed to discern for themselves if they feel an [alleged] rape victim "consented" or is telling the truth over their attack, rather than respecting or even assisting a victim. Treating even alleged victims this way is, in my opinion, a form of violence in of itself. Lack of women's voices and authority in the religion is, no doubt, a huge contributing factor to these horrific situations.
Cherokee Women Versus the Weaker Vessel
According to the bible, women are a "weaker vessel" (1 Peter 3:7). In fairness, some commentators have suggested this refers to women being physically weaker or more emotional, not mentally inferior. Growing up as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, however, I heard that phrase applied anytime men wanted to subjugate or even humiliate and mock women.
Cherokee women were not considered "weaker" in any sense of the word. The women even joined men on the battlefield if they desired; Nanyehi (aka Nancy Ward) infamously fought with her husband in a battle against the Creek, chewing his bullets so that the ragged edges would inflict greater damage.
When her husband was killed, Nanyehi picked up his rifle and led the Cherokee into victory. For her bravery, Nanyehi was bestowed the title of Ghigau:
Ghigau or Agigaue is a Cherokee prestigious title meaning "beloved woman" or "war woman". The title was a recognition of great honor for women who made a significant impact within their community or exhibited great heroism on the battlefield.
Ghigau were so respected that it was believed the Great Spirit spoke through them, giving them wisdom. Nanyehi reportedly had several visions showing a "great line of our people marching on foot. Mothers with babies in their arms. Fathers with small children on their back. Grandmothers and Grandfathers with large bundles on their backs. They were marching West and the 'Unaka' (White Soldiers) were behind them. They left a trail of corpses the weak, the sick who could not survive the journey."
The Trail of Tears occurred not many years after Nanyehi's death.
Nanyehi, aka Nancy Ward
Certainly there was never a suggestion that Cherokee women had no rights to teach, exercise authority over others, share in decision making, or that they should otherwise be silent and submissive to anyone in their nation, especially not because they were "weaker."
Cherokee Women Protecting Children
Speaking of women's strength, one interesting aspect of Cherokee society is that women could spare someone condemned to death but also took the lead in executing prisoners of war and criminals; this was their "right and responsibility as mothers."
This is unlike Jehovah's Witnesses; for example, when there is an allegation of child sex abuse in the religion:
Elders need an eyewitness to "verify the act" before they remove an abuser from the congregation
"Repentant" abusers are allowed to stay in the congregation
Only in rare cases are parents warned of an abuser in their congregation
Elders only alert authorities when legally obligated and, even then, try to hide behind clergy-penitent privilege or other legal loopholes
While Jehovah's Witness men create and carry out these directives, it's not unusual for JW women to defend them vehemently. JW women often say they're showing faith in god, waiting for him to work things out "in his own due time," or are "humbly" submissive to men, trusting them to handle things. Whatever the reasons, their inaction is at the expense of children!
Even outside agencies, such as the Child Abuse Royal Commission in Australia, noted the damage done to JW child sex abuse victims, especially young females, because of this lack of women's involvement in investigating abuse claims in the religion:
Having only men investigate such accusations, questioning victims with no adult women present, also means no checks or deterrents as to the nature of their questions. Victims have testified that JW elders have been downright pornographic in their questioning, traumatizing them all over again:
"I never felt as though any of the Elders believed me. In fact, they seemed incensed by what I was saying and took the allegations personally. They asked me questions like, 'Did you enjoy it?' and, 'How did you react to that?' At times, it felt as though they were getting off on what I was telling them."
– child sex abuse victim "BCG"
Consider, too, that while Jehovah's Witness women might think they're being humble by letting men run the show, far too often it's men who molest children. A child's best protector and first line of defense against abuse is often their mother, and Cherokee women accepted this responsibility to the point of even executing someone posing a threat to any of the clan's children.
Why Explore Other Cultures Outside of Jehovah's Witnesses
Certainly the Cherokee were not perfect, even owning slaves at one point. However, exploring aspects of their daily life, as I would recommend people do with various cultures throughout history and around the world, versus the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses helps drive home the ridiculousness of that religion and their claim of living "the best life ever."
As a few other quick examples, there were sexual taboos in the Cherokee society but not a long list of rules to follow, and certainly few prohibitions against sex outside of marriage. Jehovah's Witnesses, however, have prohibited even oral and anal sex between married couples:
Jehovah's Witnesses are so stifling and controlling when it comes to sex that they've said masturbation ruins marriages and makes you gay! How can anyone, even a married couple, truly enjoy sexual expression in such a repressive, shame-filled culture?
The Cherokee people also had regular festivals and celebrations, especially during harvesttime. These festivals were often marked with dancing and feasting and were spiritual in nature while also just celebrating life, family, and the earth.
Jehovah's Witnesses, however, celebrate virtually nothing, not even birthdays. This lack of festivities makes for a very dull, joyless existence for adults but especially children in the religion!
The Cherokee stomp dance.
Jehovah's Witnesses say they "work to build up families, both our own and those of our neighbors," per their website. However, that certainly wasn't my experience; the men were happy to have absolute authority over women and felt very self-important, but were also burdened down with a myriad of responsibilities at home and in the congregation.
I'm sure some JW women are happy but I remember that most were outright miserable, trying to stifle their genuine feelings and accept the religion's claims that their family arrangement was "loving" and for their benefit. How can a woman be happy when she's counseled to consider staying in an abusive marriage or with an unfaithful husband, rather than being empowered to stand up for herself and demand better?

Empowering women to speak for the nation was also beneficial for all Cherokee; women could and did vote for war as they saw fit, but Nanyehi and other Ghigau were often ambassadors, and Nanyehi especially was known for trying to negotiate peace between the Cherokee and the Europeans. No doubt women's wisdom saved the Cherokee from otherwise unnecessary battles.
Cherokee children were also obviously safer than children in the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses. Rather than abused children having to seek help from self-important, snarling men who might be abusers themselves, Cherokee mothers stopped at nothing to protect their children and entire clan. They didn't look the other way, blindly trust the abusers to police themselves, or shirk their responsibilities as fighters and protectors.
Cherokee women were tough and fierce as well as wise, and proved themselves deserving of respect and equality while at the same time disproving the outright lunacy and abusive structure of the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Let's just say, I was born in the wrong century.

City loan star's success shows how vital National League decision is to Linnets
Chris Lakey
Published: 12:54 PM May 17, 2020 Updated: 7:24 PM November 22, 2020

Norwich City youngster Simon Power was a big hit during his short loan stint at King's Lynn Town - but any hopes of a return may hinge on the Linnets' promotion dream.
Lynn are anxiously awaiting a decision from the National League on how it is to end the season.
If an announcement, expected early next week, goes in Lynn's favour and they are promoted, Power could be back for a longer stint – and the chances of getting more budding young professionals to join him will increase too.
The 22-year-old moved to The Walks after a loan spell at Ross County failed to work out – and he was an instant hit with manager Ian Culverhouse's side, making a sensational debut in the huge home win over York City before the Covid-19 pandemic brought an abrupt end to his loan spell.
The situation was laid bare by his agent, Norwich-based lawyer and player representative Dan Chapman.
"The brutal reality is if Lynn were in the National League the ability to attract players on loan would be much easier, in terms of players of a certain calibre," said Chapman.
"It is very difficult for Simon and many players to know where we are – I don't know when pre-season is going to be, when the season is going to end, when windows are going to open, but we will look to carry on the momentum that Simon was building and if that's helping King's Lynn in the National League that would be wonderful."
Power was a raw talent, more used to rugby than football, when he left Ireland to join Norwich in January, 2018, and Chapman said he warned the youngster that life at Lynn wouldn't be a pushover.
"I remember speaking to Simon before he joined and said 'don't think this is going to be easy, this is hard, you are going to get kicked and the pitches aren't always to your liking'," he added, speaking to Lynn owner Stephen Cleeve's 'I Bought a Football Club' podcast.
"To be fair to him he got his head down and did his best and had the right attitude and I think professional clubs like Norwich learn a lot from the resilience of these players when they send them out on loan to see how they deal with it and adapt, it is so beneficial to have experience of a Saturday afternoon with the pressure of people paying their mortgages and winning games that really matter."


Despite having "a new found faith in Christianity" (generally the kiss of death to any kind of creativity), Peter Howson, "Scotland's greatest living painter" ™ has now managed to produce a triumvirate of highly pleasing paintings of my favourite celebrity idiot and orphan botherer, the graceless Madonna. As can be seen from the extract above, also featuring her equally boorish husband (referred to here by Howson as 'Ogre'), he has succinctly and expertly captured the repulsive allure of the "golden couple".
Features images of all paintings in the collection "Acheron and other works".
Historical note: "Scotland's greatest living painter" was actually born in England.

Q: Edit RewriteRule to allow title in URL's I have real trouble understanding mod_rewrite, and got some help in creating a RewriteRule to have simple urls for our site
RewriteRule ^news/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ /news/$1/ [R]
RewriteRule ^news/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ news/show.php?id=$1

So someone can visit site.com/news/700/ and the url will look the same to them, but puts the request to our server with /news/show.php?=700 to pull the article out.
I want to include the title of the article into the url, just to make it more user friendly when someone see's a link to our site.
site.com/news/700/heres-our-important-title
Can someone let me know what I need to change to make this happen so the code will still work properly? So a url can have that extra text at the end, but it will still only pull the id number after /news/.
Thanks.

A: You just need to update your second RewriteRule to allow (optionally) for the title at the end. Also, as a bit of house keeping, the first rule needs to be modified for an unrelated reason:
RewriteRule ^news/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$    /news/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^news/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/.*$ news/show.php?id=$1

It might also not be a terrible idea to change your character class [a-zA-Z0-9_-] to just [0-9] if your IDs are only numeric, depending on how you like to handle 404s.

Q: SwiftSupport folder when building Jenkins WatchKit app I have an Objective-C project that I have built a WatchKit app for using Swift as I though it would be a good entry point to learning a bit of Swift. The build process we have is using Jenkins using the build script to create the IPA structure.
I have found guides online stating the Structure of the IPA needed and have the script create and copy the correct files to create the WatchKitSupport folder. When I compare the contents of the IPA generated from the Archive through Xcode with the one from the build script it has a folder in called SwiftSupport.
The IPA SwiftSupport (when built through Xcode) contains 9 dylib files. How can I in the build script create this folder? Is it just a case or directly copying them from the location they reside in Xcode (which doesn't make for a very reusable portion of the build script) or is there a more robust simpler way?

A: When archiving an app the .xcarchive contains a SwiftSupport folder with those .dylib files. You can use this folder when creating your .ipa.
Just make sure the SwiftSupport folder is a sibling of the Payload folder in the .ipa, otherwise you will get an 'Invalid Swift Support' error in iTunes Connect.

Sustaining weight loss requires mental and physical commitment.
If you have ever tried to lose weight, you know it's not easy. To be successful you need some understanding of your behavior, knowledge of the science of weight loss and calorie intake, and some creative problem-solving skills. Even though it's difficult, you can achieve sustainable weight loss—not the usual "few pounds lost and more gained back" kind of weight loss, but permanent weight loss that improves your health and well-being.
To be successful at weight loss, you must adopt the following mind-sets.
1.Forget About Fads, Pills, And Diet Schemes. Give up the idea that there is a magic bullet out there that will make this happen quickly and easily; it just does not exist or someone would have found it by now! Losing weight is a process that occurs over time and with much work. Although people occasionally have short-term success from a crash diet, more times than not the lose-weight-fast diets fail in the long run. They could actually do more harm than good, putting you in even more peril from new health problems.
2.Prioritize Your Health. When you decide that being healthy is one of the most important things in your life, you can lose weight. Your health needs to be the highest priority and requires total focus—but that does not mean ignoring other things such as work and family responsibilities. That said, weight loss needs to be first and foremost in your life. This is where being a creative problem solver comes in.
3.Accept The Science. That means accepting the reality of weight loss: to lose weight you must consume less and burn more. Learning what to eat and how much to move is the first step in being successful.
4.Engage In Habit Change. Work on changing bad habits into healthy ones, one step at a time. There are no shortcuts here. Science tells us that it takes approximately 66 days of focus and effort to change a habit. It's important to prioritize what habits need immediate attention to help you lose weight. For example, if you drink two sugar-laden sodas per day, which can cause a 30-pound weight gain in a single year, that should be a priority to change. If you do not eat a good volume of fruit or vegetables, make that a priority. Unless you eat plenty of produce, you will be too hungry and look for carbohydrates and protein to fill you up. If cookies out of the vending machine are a daily afternoon routine, eat an apple instead.If your willpower and control are in limited supply, you can learn techniques that will help you change your habits; for lots of good ideas, check out The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg (Random House, 2012; $16). Focus on habit change, not the actual weight loss. When you change your habits, weight loss will occur. Work on substituting good habits for bad ones, one day at a time.
5.Be Honest With Yourself. Instead of saying "I just can't lose weight," be truthful about your actions. Are you really doing what you are supposed to do?
6.Make Sure You Are Medically Fit. Confirm that there are no physical issues that could hinder your weight-loss efforts. After that ask yourself, How accurate and consistent am I with my food intake and exercise? If you are having trouble keeping track of everything, look for an app to help you monitor intake and output. Also use a kitchen scale and measuring cups to be sure your portion sizes are correct.
7.Have Realistic Expectations. We think that if we walk for 30 minutes three times a week, we should be able to eat what we want and still lose weight. For most of us with less than 50 pounds to lose, 2 to 8 pounds per month is a realistic weight-loss goal. We often get discouraged because we buy into the hype of losing large amounts of weight quickly and do not want to accept the truth that it takes time.
If you are trying to lose weight, see if you engage in any of the following bad food habits. Recognizing these pitfalls is important because knowing you have a bad habit is the first step to changing it. If you have any of these bad habits, you are not alone. These common problems plague millions of us!
What it looks like: You eat too much food. The food itself may even be healthy, but it's just too large a portion, therefore more calories than you need. Overeating is a common problem with protein and carbohydrate foods. An extra cup of pasta can cost you 20 pounds per year in weight gain.
The solution: Weigh and measure the right portion sizes of protein and carbohydrate foods for you for a few days to establish correct visual perception. Adding more vegetables to meals does not add appreciable calories but will help fill you up.
What it looks like: You do not miss a meal, which is a good thing, but you are eating too often. When you snack continuously, even if you choose healthy foods, it adds up to excess calorie intake. You feel you need something in your mouth constantly.
The solution: Adults need to eat every five hours, so for most of us that means three meals and one or two snacks. It's helpful to assign a time for meals and snacks and then stick to it. If you get an urge to snack at the "wrong" time, find a replacement activity that does not involve eating anything—not even chewing gum because it reinforces the act of eating. Calling a friend, playing a game on your phone, or putting on a coat of clear nail polish are activities that do not reinforce eating and help occupy you for a short time just as the constant snacking did. It is also helpful in the beginning to make yourself wait an extra 15 minutes for your designated snack to get more comfortable with not responding immediately to the urge to eat. After not responding for a period of time, the urge lessens, which means you are on the road to breaking the bad habit of continuous snacking.
What it looks like: You have a tendency to consume too much of one food group and do not have the right balance at mealtimes. For example, you will have a large portion of a particular food group, but nothing else, so to be satisfied you need a large amount of that one food. By having the right amounts of protein, carbohydrates, vegetables, and fruit at each meal, you are able to fill up on some of the lower-calorie foods and can get more mileage from a meal that helps you control your appetite. If you eat only carbohydrates at a meal, you will be hungry in a few hours; if you eat only protein, you have to consume a large quantity of a high-calorie food to be satisfied. The more balanced a meal is, the better for appetite control.
The solution: Make sure each meal has protein, healthy carbohydrates (whole grains), and a fruit and/or vegetable. More-balanced meals mean being less hungry over a period of time and more satisfied between meals.
What it looks like: You go long periods of time without food, often eating very little during the day. This increases the appetite so that when you finally do eat, it's almost impossible not to overeat. A starve/binge pattern results from erratic eating that is associated with getting overly hungry. Feeling and being out of control with food volume is a biological response to not having adequate nutrition throughout the day.
The solution: Make sure your calorie intake is somewhat even throughout the day. Make your breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner calories similar in quantity, versus consuming only one-quarter of your caloric needs all day and then consuming the remaining calories in the evening. Also, remember that most of us need only one snack per day. Going for more than five hours without adequate nutrition makes it very difficult to maintain control at your next meal. Plan your meals during the day and have a snack in the late afternoon to help you stay in control in the latter part of the day.
What it looks like: Food has become the way to cope with life's everyday stresses or particularly difficult situations. The more you use food to calm down, the less you use other coping skills, so over a period of time food becomes the main way you cope. Often emotional eating starts out with a stressful situation you are wrestling with, such as a family illness or difficulty with a new boss, but it can become habitual after a time. You know you are an emotional eater when you feel compelled to eat when you become unhappy or anxious.
The solution: You may be able to break this habit by using the same techniques outlined in the context of eating constantly. If you are going through a difficult situation and are feeling anxiety or depression that drives you to eat, try a different relaxing activity. If you feel you have chronic depression or anxiety that makes you binge frequently for a long period of time, seek professional help. Therapy can be a helpful tool for learning to cope in a healthier way.
What it looks like: Your food choices are healthy and your portions check out right for you, but you are consuming too many "treats," which increases the average daily calorie intake. A couple of glasses of wine nightly or two of scoops of ice cream after dinner is all it takes to have a 30- to 40-pound weight issue.
The solution: Limit your indulgences to 500 to 700 calories per week, saving treats for the weekends or special events. It is helpful to track the "indulgence" calories you are consuming each week. If you crave sugary treats, limit your indulgence to once or twice a week—and not on two consecutive days so as not to overstimulate a "sweet tooth." Remember, one bite of sweet is generally 50 calories, and those bites need to be included in your calorie intake.

replacement parts for your forklift you shouldn't buy the very first part you see. You need to take time to consider a number of things to assure that the parts you buy will work well with the forklifts you use.
· Are there alternatives to very old parts?
· Has the part passed tests and has it been certified?
· Are used parts available?
Compatibility is essential when selecting a part for a forklift. You want to be certain that the part's specifications are matched specifically to the forklift. One way to assure this is to purchase genuine parts over aftermarket parts. Not only will the part have the proper specs, it will also be covered by a warranty and the support of the manufacturer who made the part.
It is essential to research all options when selecting parts. I would bet that there are alternatives to every part you find on the market. Of course, there will be times when your options will include a part that is a lot cheaper than the other parts. There is a reason for the price differential. So it is essential to do a little research and find a number of options from which to select.
When you buy replacement parts you may have to wait for them to be delivered from the manufacturer to the supplier and from the supplier to you. Moreover, there will be a freight cost for the part. Try to select replacement parts that are either already in your suppliers' stock or parts that will be delivered quickly so there is less down time as you wait for the part to arrive.
When you are reviewing a supplier's list of a particular part you may notice that he is offering older spare parts. The rule of thumb is not to select parts that are more than seven years old. It is tempting to buy older parts because they are offered for such a low price. However, they are cheaper than other parts for a reason. For example, the older part may work well for a short period of time, but will be more susceptible to breaking sooner.
Don't take the cost of the part fore granted. Ask the supplier to provide you with a quote on how much your part is going to cost so that you can prevent overspending.
Ask if the forklift part you have selected has passed all certifications and testing. Moreover, find out if it is covered by a warranty and, if it is, ask how long the warrant lasts.
It is okay to buy used parts. However, to be certain of their quality select the used parts from a professional dealer. These dealers have staff that makes certain that the parts are clean and properly inspected and categorized. Suppliers have a large stock of used parts on hand so you can find the part you need even if the stock of new parts is depleted.

Can you make sims 4 version?

Do You Need An IRS Mineral Appraisal?
Mineral appraisals are a unique subset of valuation services that are needed for transacting mineral rights. Mineral owners require appraisals for a variety of reasons. Commonly, the requirement is for a transfer of ownership that may be reviewed by the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS has higher standards and expectations for the methods that are used to arrive at the fair market value. Appraisals meet these standards and are different from valuation in that appraisers are bound by appraisal standards.
The IRS is watching and they want their share. Reporting the value of mineral rights to the IRS may be for estate tax purposes, dissolution of marital assets, a sale to a family member or business associate, estate planning, donation, or any other reason.
Transactions that are not considered "an arm's length transaction" such as moving assets into a trust or gifting to a relative or other related party will draw additional scrutiny. The IRS seeks to ensure reported values of transacted properties are done so consistent with fair market value standards. A mineral appraiser providing an independent, third-party appraisal will give you the confidence you need when reporting to the IRS the value of the property as of the effective date.
The tax code requires certified appraisals which meet very specific legal requirements for donations of personal property. The IRS has specific appraisal requirements for donations of personal property that are detailed below.
If you make a donation to a tax-exempt organization, you may claim a deduction for the fair-market value of the item or group of items. If the fair-market value exceeds $5,000 you must get a certified appraisal of the donated property from a qualified appraiser. Our certified appraisal report, accompanied by a signed copy of IRS form 8283, will meet all IRS requirements for determining fair-market value of your donation. Although appraisals are required for donations exceeding $5,000, it often makes sense to get an appraisal for lesser valued donations, as this will support your claim of value should you be audited.


Pat Summitt, who stepped down as head coach of Tennessee's women's basketball program in 2012 to battle Alzheimer's, was there to honor Lauren Hill at halftime.
CINCINNATI -- Lauren Hill scored the first basket of the 2014-15 college hoops season. There will not be a more meaningful, powerful, or inspirational bucket scored this season.
Two weeks ago, Xavier University's Cintas Center was sold out as LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers played an exhibition game against the Indiana Pacers. More than 10,000 fans packed the arena on Xavier University's campus to cheer on their sports hero. Today, the same number of people packed the Cintas Center to cheer on their life hero. When Lauren was introduced during pregame introductions, the pop of the crowd in the arena was bigger and louder than it was for King James.
The week began with Lauren kicking off the Layups for Lauren challenge on social media. Her goal was to raise awareness of DIPG by challenging others to spin around five times and make a layup with their non-dominant hand, simulating Lauren's on-court struggles with dizziness and weakness of her right side. Funds raised go to The Cure Starts Now. Her story and message garnered international attention building up to the Sunday's game.
The Mount St. Joseph freshman entered the starting lineup. The Lions won the tip. Tara Dennis set a screen on the right elbow. Hill flashed to the left block. She received a perfect bounce pass from Taylor Brown, also making her first start. Hill, a natural righty forced by her illness to rely solely on her left hand, elevated and executed a smooth layup for her first two points.
As soon as the ball found the bottom of the net, the Lions' bench stormed the court. The team met Lauren in an embrace at midcourt. The game was paused as the team hugged and cried and smiled. Lauren was presented with the game ball. Then, she went to the bench, donned her headphones and sunglasses to help with her sensitivity to noise and bright light, and enjoyed her teammates' performance. With 25.6 seconds to play and the Lions up 64-55, the crowd began a "We Want Lauren" chant. Benjamin responded, and the woman of the day re-entered the game. She missed her next shot, then got another chance. This time, she delivered from the right side. Lauren scored the first and last baskets of the game, a 66-55 Lions victory.
Lauren Hill scored two baskets on Sunday, one to start the game and one to end it.
The Division III community came out to support Lauren. Teams from the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, along with local teams from Thomas More, Cincinnati, and Xavier and a host of area high school programs were on hand. Following the game, the teams from the Heartland Conference met with the Lions for several minutes to share with Lauren what she means to each of their teams.
Competition took a distant backseat on Sunday. Franklin College's women's hoops team was one of several that made the trek to Cincinnati to cheer on one of their biggest rivals.
Mount St. Joseph's athletic teams also came out in full force. The day student tickets went on sale, there was a line out the door 45 minutes prior to the sale. Lauren has given every student-athlete a greater perspective on the joy of playing sports.
Earlier on Sunday, the Mount St. Joseph campus gave the basketball team a pep rally. After lining the campus streets to send off the team bus early Sunday morning, they packed the Cintas Center. There is more camaraderie and appreciation between Lions athletes than ever before, thanks to Lauren's relentless positivity.
The Lions baseball team participated in the send-off and attended the game. They recently began winter workouts, the bane of every baseball player's offseason. This year feels different, thanks to Lauren.
A capacity crowd came out to support Lauren Hill.
There was still a basketball game to play. The Lions played with passion, attacking the offensive boards and diving on the floor for loose balls. After Lauren was substituted out, the Lions forced turnovers on three consecutive Hiram possessions en route to a 8-0 lead. Hiram did not lay down. Both teams competed. Lauren wouldn't want it any other way.
"We want to go out there and play our best because we feel like that's the best way to honor Lauren," said Hiram coach Emily Hays prior to Sunday's game.
The Hiram community sold shirts to raise money for The Cure Starts Now. This was Hays' first game as head coach, but she knew that the focus was not on her or her players.
"We look at the bigger picture and how we can be a part of something bigger and something special. We'll probably never have an opportunity to help someone like this in this way again," said Hays.
The cities of Lawrenceburg, Ind., and Cincinnati feel fortunate to have Lauren represent and inspire them. Lawrenceburg High School's cheerleaders joined Mount St. Joseph's. Mount St. Joseph University has not known the freshman for long, but she has had an immediate, powerful, and lasting impact that will never be forgotten.
Prior to tip off, Lauren's doctors and pediatric care team were shown on the video board partaking in the Layups 4 Lauren challenge. That was followed by a photo montage of Lauren. Mount St. Joseph president Tony Aretz gave a passionate speech about the meaning of today's game. During commercial breaks, Layups 4 Lauren participants were shown on the video board.
At halftime, Lauren was presented with the Pat Summitt Most Courageous award by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. She was presented the award by writer Mel Greenberg, Tamika Catchings, and, in a surprise appearance, the legendary Tennessee coach herself.
After embracing Summitt, Lauren was handed the microphone. She was overcome with emotion, but thanked all those for attending and supporting her cause to kill DIPG. Following the game, Lauren received the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Women's Sports Association's Wilma Rudolph Courage Award. That led to the crowd chanting her name again.
A host of WNBA stars were on hand to cheer on Lauren. Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White announced that the organization was donating $5,000 to The Cure Starts Now. American Sports Network, which broadcast the game nationally, announced that it will broadcast an annual Lauren Hill game in the coming seasons.
The Cure Starts Now raised over $70,000 on Sunday. And counting.

Album Of The Week: R+R=NOW | R+R=NOW Live
Robert Glasper's all-star ensemble expand on their studio debut in this killer live set.
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "In October 2018, Robert Glasper settled into the Blue Note club in N.Y.C. for a month-long residency — several nights of which featured the new dream team collective R+R=NOW with Glasper on keys, Terrace Martin on synthesizer, vocoder, and alto saxophone, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah on trumpet, Derrick Hodge on bass, Taylor McFerrin on synthesizer, and Justin Tyson on drums. The band had recently released their debut album Collagically Speaking and the music had already taken on expansive new dimensions in concert as evidenced on R+R=NOW Live, a thrilling live recording with standout tracks including Respond, Change of Tone, Resting Warrior, and a cover of Kendrick Lamar's How Much a Dollar Cost.
In an era when every headline carries some new horror or fresh worry, we need music that can clap back with immediacy, skill, and heart. We need a band so at home in its skin that it can play without ego and lead with love—artists whose very existence attests to resilience and hope. We need R+R=NOW, a supergroup assembled by Robert Glasper but functionally egalitarian, in no small part because its members are visionary players, composers, and producers on their own. You could try to count up the Grammys between them but you'd be missing the point. This genre-mashing outfit moves as one and, as their name reveals, with great purpose.
"R+R stands for Reflect and Respond," says Glasper. The idea came to him via Nina Simone while he was coproducing Nina Revisited, a companion album to the 2015 film What Happened, Miss Simone? Facing backlash for her politics, Simone was asked, more or less, why she didn't just shut up and sing. Her answer: "An artist's duty, as far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times." Glasper adds: "When you reflect what's going on in your time and respond to that, you can't not be relevant. So R plus R equals NOW."
In that spirit, the debut album by R+R=NOW isn't some wonky thesis on the state of the nation. It's a raw document titled Collagically Speaking that seamlessly adheres neo-soul to future-funk, West Coast jazz of the moment to astral electronica, instrumental hip-hop to musique concrète, avant-garde to classical — these are single-take songs, written live in the room, that go wherever this formidable crew's mood goes. Guest voices get caught in that mix as well: actors Omari Hardwick and Terry Crews; actress Amanda Seales; MCs Stalley and yasiin bey (fka Mos Def); and singers Amber Navran (of Moonchild) and Goapele. The themes that bind it all together are both spoken and inferred: romantic love, universal love, systemic bigotry, the women's movement, quiet power, wild creativity, personal loss and growth.
"Everyone in this band is a six-foot-tall black guy who didn't come from an affluent background," says Scott. "In order for us all to make it into that room together, we've had to go through some hell, fight for some things, build up a lot of armor, and do a lot ourselves to forge our realities, to become who we are. We're all very aware of that, so anytime we get together, it's a celebration."
On Repeat

A lot happening in the lives of the little people!
We also got a report on Della. They say she is transitioning well to the 2-year-old class. She is meeting lots of milestones, but got nicked on the following: drawing faces and horizontal lines, hopping on one foot, knowing her last name and gender, and a few other equally useless skills.
He is so excited about the bunny, he stayed up 'til 10 o'clock.
Thanks to a special deal at Giant, Della had lobster dinner two nights in a row. She doesn't much care for lobster, but she sure likes butter. At first she tried dipping food (lobster, corn, potatoes, popsicles) in the butter sauce, but found it was more efficient to scoop it out with a hand and then both hands. Finally she brought the dipping dish up to her mouth for a drink, and that's where we drew the line. By the end of the meal, Della was glistening like a well-oiled body builder.
Today we went to Burke Lake and rode the choo choo train, took a carousel ride, and ate ice cream and rainbow sherbert. Della even got to see some real babies, to whom she waved aggressively. Later we went for a short walk, and Della examined the gravel on her left hand.
Steve says Della is looking like a "party animal" and "miniature John Candy" in this outfit. This isn't the first time Della has been compared to John Candy.


According to reports, UAE's very own Noon.com has partnered up with eBay to build a new partnership allowing customers in UAE and Saudi to order products from the US-based website.
Noon will be fulfilling the orders placed by consumers. The 'Noon powered by eBay' service will be available by the second half of 2018 on its dedicated app, and via mobile and desktop.
You will also be able to return products to Noon in case of any dissatisfaction, obviously based on the terms and conditions.
After the wide success of Amazon's Global Store on Souq.com, this only seemed like the next best move for Noon. Amazon bought over Souq.com in a giant acquisition last year while Noon struggled with its launch around the same time.
Getting products not available in the local market without the stress of an international order has piqued users interest all over the region. What do you think? Will you be ordering from eBay when this service launches?
