David Chen	in internet, journalism, justice	| January 27, 2019
Don't rush
The news cycle runs at hyper speed now. About one week ago, a group of students from Covington High School Catholic High School were filmed at the Lincoln Memorial behaving in a rowdy fashion in front of Native American activist Nathan Phillips.
A video of the incident received near-universal condemnation on Twitter, most of it coming from liberal online personalities. This was followed by a conservative backlash that came with more video showing further context and insisting that the situation was perceived unfairly. A counter-backlash followed, plus an apology tour by the teen in the video, Nicholas Sandmann, in which he claims that nothing untoward occurred. All of this took place in less than a fortnight.
[If you're looking for an even-handed assessment of what actually happened at the event, I'd recommend this piece by Josh Marshall, who assessed each piece of evidence and links out to more so you can make some decisions yourself.]
I recently read Jon Ronson's So You've Been Publicly Shamed, in which he runs down a number of situations where the internet tried to destroy someone's life. A terrible joke about AIDS in Africa became an international meme and blew up a woman's life. A woman took a jokey photo at Arlington National Cemetary and lost her job helping people with learning disabilities. Time after time, the internet mob has shown that it is willing to annihilate people, seemingly randomly, if they step out of line in a way that strikes the right nerve.
Ronson's thesis in the book is that shaming lessens us all. It can leave the subject irrevocably scarred, and it changes the mob doing the shaming too. It reshapes our values in ways that are troubling and make us less compassionate and more violent.
As a result of the book, I've tried to publicly shame people less often these days. But it can be a challenge because Twitter makes it so easy. Have a thought? Want to ruin someone who's offended you? Fire off a tweet! It's all very tempting and sad.
That said, I don't think my approach is for everyone. I've tried not to condemn people for shaming, because one of the weaknesses of Ronson's book is that it doesn't delve into all the times that internet shaming has actually been unequivocally beneficial, such as when it is done in the name of justice, and the last recourse for people with no other options.
But one thing I have concluded I can do and recommend: Wait before tweeting. Think before tweeting. Deliberate before posting. Mull it over before blogging.
The Phillips-Sandmann video felt like it was genetically engineered to tap into all the sensitivities of our day. A group of white kids stood around a Native American war vet, seeming to mock him. The video is the video; the response to it revealed our sensitivities and anxieties. To one side, public shaming felt like it was necessary, because what other response could there be? This might be the only way to make this child pay for his insolence! If you're on the other side, there's a need to defend this innocent child from a liberal mob that's ignoring the facts.
No matter what your assessment, I think it's safe to say that all sides were bloodied in the fiasco. But to me, one thing remains clear: the rush to judgment benefits no one. I really appreciated Casey Newton's take on the situation, in which he shares lessons from this incident.
I do think there was value in watching more video of the protests as it emerged before offering up a take. The more angles of the conflict that I watched, the more unsettled I was by the teens' behavior — and by their chaperons' inaction. Not everyone has the luxury of waiting until day four of a story to have a take. But a lot of members of the media … do? And if you do, you might consider holding your tongue, at least for 24 hours or so. It's here that Twitter's incentive system deserves criticism — the earlier you tweeted the first video, and the more incendiary your view, the likelier you were to have it shot into the algorithmic stratosphere. (One Vulture contributor was fired over the weekend after saying that he wished the teens were dead.)
Don't rush. If it's not a time-sensitive situation, the target of your outrage will still be there in a day or two. Plus, you'll probably have a lot more information from which to craft your position.
Some more news and links from the week:
I'm making at least two YouTube videos per month and you should subscribe to my channel! This week: I reviewed the Fyre Festival documentaries and reacted to the Academy Award nominations.
Speaking of YouTube, one of my favorite shows is Hot Ones, which just invited Gordon Ramsay to eat a bunch of monstrously hot chicken wings. The results are incredible and make for a superlative edition of an already-great show.
It was a bloodbath in the media industry this week. Massive layoffs at Gannett, BuzzFeed, and Huffington Post. There are many articles about what this means for journalism but for my money, this "prose poem" by John DeVore does a better job of summing up the situation than anything else I've read.
The Atlantic has a damning story about Bryan Singer's history of sexual allegations.
At Buzzfeed, Sarah Ryley explains why it is that if you shoot someone in a major US city, you'll probably get away with it.

Heartfelt Balance Handmade Life: WW | We do "I'm sorry", we do "I forgive you"
WW | We do "I'm sorry", we do "I forgive you"
So, I'm not a perfect person. For proof of that, you can read any of my "Life as a Parent" posts. And so, as an imperfect person, I have bad days. Some days I have really bad days. Going through perimenopause is not exactly a cake-walk.
The PMS hormones seem to be getting crazier and crazier. I just want to crawl out of my skin and crawl into bed and sleep until it's over. And I think (and sometimes even say) words that I would never say at any other time of the month. Yesterday was one of those days. And Jaycee and I were just not getting along.
So, on those days when I do and say things that I'm not exactly proud of, I apologize. I don't want my kids thinking it's okay to act the way mommy has been acting!
So apologies and forgiveness are something we do very well around here. And when I'm off this darn medication, I will begin taking my evening primrose oil again to help with the PMS symptoms.
Here is the note that Jaycee left for me yesterday.
Jaycee actually growls at me a lot lately when she doesn't get her way. So, although she was accepting my apology, she got the words of her apology mixed up with the note. But, I love all of her little notes she always leaves me.
And she's always making notes like this one. LOVE her!
Have there been times when you've had to apologize to your kids?


It will be winding down in a couple of days. Please look to the right where the little person is sewing and click on the link below it. I pack my boxes full to the brim and everyone has loved what I have given so far. This time no exception.
Thank you for reading We Love Quilting. During the summer I do not post very much. I am ready to start posting again.

I finished a locker rug and posted on my blog. I used the needle you gave me and it was much smoother, than the one I had. I like the silver plate for easier hooking, but I like the gold one I have since it is lighter, so I used both to give my hands a rest.

Clinical commissioning group (CCG) funding
Published Monday, 13 January, 2014

This note provides information on the resource allocation formula for distributing funding for health services in England to local commissioning groups: clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). It includes the historical use of allocation formulas; the formula that was proposed and rejected for the 2013-14 funding round; and information on the new CCG allocations for 2014-15 and 2015/16.

Download full report Download 'Clinical commissioning group (CCG) funding' report (660 KB , PDF)
Following a fundamental review, NHS England announced on 18 December 2013 individual funding allocations for CCGs for 2014-15. For informatin on the new funding formula see section 3 of this note; for a full allocation list please see the annex at the end of this note.
Funding allocation formulas use information about local populations, such as age, gender, levels of deprivation and the size of a population, in order to predict the level of funding needed in each area to meet existing need. Funding formulas have been developed independently of ministers, most recently, by the Advisory Committee of Resource Allocation (ACRA). Many areas do not receive the full amount of funding allocated to them because increasing funding to one area within a limited budget would require reductions for another and significant funding reductions could destabilise health provision or provoke local opposition. The overall aim of allocations policy has been to—over time— secure 'equal opportunity of access for people with equal need across the country'.
The formula used for the 2013-14 allocations to CCGs is the same as was used to allocate funding to primary care trusts (PCTs). Library Standard Note, Primary Care Trusts: Funding and expenditure (SN05719), provides a description of the allocation process as it was for PCTs in England.
Responsibility for health services is devolved to the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish administrations.
Headline expenditure figures are updated quarterly on the Library Social Indicators page.

Tracie Egger is passionate about showing prospective students how earning a degree from the College of Agriculture can precipitate a lifetime of success.
Egger is the college's assistant director of academic programs. When she's not explaining to high school students how an agriculture degree can lead to a career as a doctor, scientist, business leader or something else, Egger advises the college's undergraduate student ambassadors and its pre-veterinary medicine students.
How do you promote agriculture education and the College of Agriculture to prospective students?
Annually, I travel to 10 to 20 high schools, trade shows and conferences in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois to talk about the academic options here at Purdue and to discuss how an education in agriculture opens doors. For example, the fields that address the greatest societal concerns in the world are enveloped in agriculture -- with an agriculture degree, you can go on to so many different careers. There's a misconception among a lot of people that agriculture is only about farming.
What are the benefits of studying agriculture at Purdue?
Overall, when I'm talking to prospective students, I try to emphasize the tie between agriculture and science, business and engineering. That's not a connection most people logically make, but at Purdue it's very strong. For example, families usually don't know that our biochemistry major is a great program for pre-med students. And plant sciences, which is an area of great importance to us at Purdue, is a gateway to so many careers that will lead to feeding the world's growing population.
For example, Purdue students can study plant breeding and genetics and end up working for a seed company. Or, they can study entomology and horticulture and work in the fruit and tree production industry. And agronomy is a fascinating field that allows graduates to work on issues related to world hunger.
How do you work with the College of Agriculture's student ambassadors?
I'm their advisor, so we meet every other week for meetings and discuss team building and other leadership activities. Our ambassadors are invaluable -- they help with our events for prospective students and lead tours for prospective students. They do a great job of explaining the opportunities the College of Agriculture offers from a student's perspective.
Moreover, our student ambassadors do a great job of telling their stories to prospective students. When ambassadors tell prospective students why they decided to attend Purdue and study in the College of Agriculture -- and when they are able to talk about the success they've found here -- it really gets prospective students excited.
How did you become interested in agriculture yourself?
I grew up on a small family farm in Clinton County, and I was very involved in 4-H and FFA, particularly with livestock showing and judging. I received my bachelor's degree from Purdue in agricultural communication and accepted a position at the National Swine Registry here in West Lafayette. Then I attended Oklahoma State University and earned a master's degree in agriculture and extension education.
All along, I thought I would enjoy working for Purdue Extension because I was interested in providing training for youth and agriculture professionals. After I graduated from Oklahoma State, I accepted a position with Purdue Extension in Posey County, which is just west of Evansville. I came back to Purdue's West Lafayette campus to take a two-year position through Extension. Then, I began my career in student services in the Office of Academic Programs in the College of Agriculture. I continued my education in the meantime and received my PhD in agricultural education in 2009.
To me, the most rewarding aspect of my job is watching the growth of our students. I love to see them go from student leaders to young professionals who land great internships to professionals who often end up in the jobs of their dreams. It's incredibly gratifying to be able to help them along their journey while they're at Purdue. When our students are successful, I'm successful -- that's how I see things.

Tara Reade's Former Neighbor Says She Knew About Alleged Biden Sexual Assault in the Mid-'90s
Emily Alford
A former neighbor of Tara Reade—the former Joe Biden aide who has accused the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee of sexual assault—has come forward to say that Reade spoke of the assault to her back in the mid-1990s when they lived in the same apartment complex.
Lynda LaCasse says she became friends with Reade in 1995 when their young daughters played together in the pool of their Morro Bay, California, apartment complex. LaCasse told Business Insider that during a conversation about violence, Reade tearfully revealed that then-Senator Biden had put his hand up her skirt, which mirrors the account Reade gave in a podcast interview with Katie Halper last month:
"We were talking about violent stories," LaCasse said, "because I had a violent situation. We just started talking about things and she just told me about the senator that she had worked for and he put his hand up her skirt."
On the podcast, Reade told Halper that Biden pinned her against a wall and penetrated her with his fingers before saying that she was "nothing" to him. Reade also claims that she reported Biden's harassment (though not assault) to her superiors and was eventually frozen out of her job with Biden's office and eventually forced out of Washington D.C. altogether.
Lorraine Sanchez, a former co-worker of Reade's in a California state senator's office, also told Business Insider that she remembers Reade talking about being sexually harassed by her boss in Washington D.C. and subsequently forced out of her position but does not remember Reade specifically mentioning Biden, though Reade verified it was Biden she was referencing.
Additionally, Reade's brother, Collin Moulton, and a friend who has chosen to remain anonymous confirmed Reade's story off the air to Halper and on the record to The Intercept, which also reports that a caller to Larry King Live in August 1993 asking for advice for how her daughter could handle issues with her boss in Washington D.C. was most likely Reade's mother. Read the full Business Insider report here.
TooDrunk
I didn't vote for Biden in my primary. I didn't support him until everyone else had dropped out. But the cold reality is it's him or Trump now. Those are the two options. The primary is over. The general election has begun.
So what the fuck do we do with this?

Remnants Scorer's XI vs. Remnants Secretary's XI
Remnants Secretary's XI (97/9 in 24 six-ball overs)
Remnants Scorer's XI (96/7 in 24 six-ball overs)
by 1 run.
You've got to feel sorry for Sachin Tendulkar. On any other day of the year Having been put into bat, Phil sent out his big guns, the top order of G. Speller, M. Jones, E. Fox, P. Watson, A. Lea and J. White surely capable of threatening Tendulkar's 155 for the highest score in town, and it seemed more than likely they'd be able to put the game out of reach sooner rather than later. Or, as it turned out, not at all: by the tenth over all of the above were back in the pavilion, sitting with confused expressions below a scoreboard that read 35/7. Faruk Kara (2/5) had started the rot, after which John Young (1/13), Rupert Brown (2/9), John Richer (1/12), Paul Jordan (1/8) and John Gull (0/25) all joined in the fun. (Whilst 0/25 mightn't sound like ``joining in the fun'' from the bowler's point of view, John took a catch and scored a direct hit run out, so presumably had just as much of a good time as the other bowlers.)
Amazingly, the secretaries lost two more wickets in the next two overs.
There was suddenly the possibility of the whole match being over in about twenty overs -- would we stage a second innings? -- and it was certainly a change to see a ring saving the single rather than scattered 'round the boundary. But The Scorer's XI took only two more wickets as Rob Harvey (10 off 29 balls), Tom Jordan (3 off 21 balls, before being dismissed by his dad) and Les Collings (13* off 10 balls) all filled vital support spots to Dave Green's lead performance. Scoring almost exclusively at four o'clock and eight o'clock (i.e., just behind point and square leg), he made 26 not out off 33 balls and, finally, top scored for real (rather than in his numerically challenged imagination, as was the case in the Churchill game).
Dave Green about to hit another boundary as Steves Attmore ('keeping) and Gull (umpiring) look on.
It was Les, though, who had the last laugh: having refused any offers of batting up the order for several years now, he went rampant in the last few overs, highlighted by a glorious on-drive off Daniel Mortlock (1/18 and highly miffed) that bounced just inside the boundary. With Dave joining in the fun, their final over onslaught meant that The Secretary's XI had somehow batted through their overs and compiled a game-worthy total of 97/9.
After Dave and Les were clapped from the ground, the usual maelstrom of padding up and, er, padding down was interrupted for the traditional club photograph, with everyone squinting into the sun in the hope that they were gurning slightly less hideously than their immediate neighbours.
After a few more minutes faffing, the Scorer's XI set about completing a surely comprehensive victory with a decidedly Test-like approach: rather than the scampered singles and little deflections that tend to characterise our evening games, it was long sequences of dot balls punctuated by the occasional boundary. Ordinarily that's a disastrously indulgent strategy but, with a required run rate of just 4.08 an over, this was, for once, an affordable luxury. Arnie Garside (29 off 49 balls) led the way and, with Steve Attmore (13 off 25 balls) and Paul Jordan (18 off 32 balls), took the score along to 54/2 after 13 overs. The Secretary's XI bowlers had done well to prevent a blow-out, with Tom Jordan (1/8), Rob Harvey (0/15), George Speller (0/11), Joe White (0/12) and Les Collings (0/10) all suitably economical, but what might have represented match-winning suffocation in the first innings was a slow but fatal air leak in these circumstances.
George Speller: boy in the hood.
Rupert Brown, Geoff Hales and John Richer: The Scorer's XI middle order.
Wickets were the only way forward for the personal assistants, and four fell in quick succession when Mike Jones (3 overs, 2 maidens 1/2) and Andrew Lea (2/7) took up the attack. However it was the missing fouth dismissal -- one of the daftest run outs in a Remnants history already rich in such absurdities -- that was probably the most important single moment in the whole match.
When Paul had given Les some of his own medicine (i.e., smacking him back over his head for four) he'd also put the Scorer's XI in a seemingly unassailable position: at 89/4 after 22 overs they needed just 9 runs off 12 balls with six wickets in hand. Mike began the penultimate over with a dot ball, and then Paul opened the face and ran the next ball to Les at shortish third man. John Young, running for Geoff Hales, immediately called for the run and made it down to the striker's end before Les had even gathered the ball. Paul, on the other hand, was just ambling, safe in the knowledge that Les wouldn't see that John was safe at the nominal danger end, wouldn't notice that Paul was being lazy, and wouldn't hurl the ball to the bowler in time for him to whip off the bails. At which point Les saw that John was safe at the nominal danger end, noticed that Paul was being lazy, and hurled the ball to the bowler in time for him to whip off the bails. As his teammates in the pavilion saw what was going on they began screaming for Paul to run, but it was too late: not only was he out; the nearly completed run didn't count either.
Paul Jordan plays it cool.
After Mike managed a few more dot balls and a wicket, The Secretary's XI were winning for the first time all day: at the start of the last over The Scorer's XI needed 8 to win off 6 balls. In Faruk Kara and Rupert Brown they did have two of their best batsmen at the crease, but they'd only faced one ball between them and, possibly more to the point, had the wily Phil Watson to contend with. Rupert swivelled and pulled the second ball to the boundary to make it 4 needed off 4, and then reduced that to 3 off 3 with a single. Phil managed to get the next two balls past Faruk's bat and then spread the field wide as the match had somehow come down to the last of its 288 deliveries.
Mayhem in the clubhouse as wickets fell and the rush for pads began.
It was two to tie or a boundary to win as Phil came lumbering past the umpire one last time. Faruk connected and sent the ball skidding past cover as the batsmen headed off for the first run. Mid-off then made a good save as the first run was completed and Rupert seemed to give up on any hope of making it back to the non-striker's end. But Faruk had already turned, calling his partner through, as the ball was thrown back to the bowler. The throw reached Phil with Rupert still six yards out, but there was a bad bounce and the ball hurried on its way, eventually being stopped by somebody -- was it Jones? was it Lea? was it Tendulkar? -- presciently backing up a few feet back. Whoever, they did a quick trajectory calculation and worked out they could beat the batsmen home, and so ran in to flick the bails off just a a fraction of a second before Rupert made his ground.
And somehow The Secretary's XI had gone from being 35/7 to winning by just a few feet. The ending, like that in the corresponding match last year, was superb -- closer than one would have ever dared script, although maybe a tie would have been the truest result. More importantly (and again like last year) everyone was involved: some seventeen players bowled and nineteen batted. That said, most of latter didn't do so well, with ten scores of five or less and only Arnie Garside (29), Dave Green (26*) and Paul Jordan (18) (and, well, wides, 25) making more than 15 in what was very much a bowler's match. Conversely, the three-over maximum meant no single bowler could dominate, but Faruk Kara (2/5), Andrew Lea (2/7), Rupert Brown (2/9), Mike Jones (1/2) and Arnie Garside (0/4) all made superb use of their allotments. There's more to it all than just numbers, though, and the loudest cheer of the day came when Dave Green smacked the final ball of the secretaries' innings for four. At the time it was just an defiant act in a losing cause; in the end it was worth rather more as, without those four runs, this most memorable, farcical, bizarre and enjoyable of matches would, presumably, have been denied its superb conclusion.
Joe White looks smug about his side's one run win while Geoff Hales just drowns his sorrows.
From left: John Gull (in his Kiwi-beige shirt); Matt Hughes; Rob Harvey (about to commence his anecdote launch sequence); Arnie Garside (very dapper in whites and blazer -- the perfect accompaniment to his car, a vintage Rover); Faruk Kara (pondering the run that might have been); and Steve Gull (pondering for once not having the coolest car at the ground).
Not that the evening was anywhere near over when stumps were drawn: after making Dave Norman late for his darts match and watching Holland and Argentina fight out the dullest of draws in the World Cup, we split up like an SAS unit and mounted a multi-pronged attack on, yes, The Tandoori Palace. John Gull ordered with the freedom of one who knew that his personal porta-bank was sitting withing begging distance, but was effortlessly outdone by Tom Jordan -- not only did he have a full main course, had also managed to devour one of those disturbing looking kebab starters that is served complete with what appears to be a small bowl of sick. Still, a slightly more famous leg-spinner has dominated world cricket on a diet of baked beans, so maybe Tom knows something we don't.

Q: UIAutomation Nested Accessibilty Elements Disappear from Hierarchy I have a view with two subviews a button and an Image, I turn on accessibility and set the label on the subviews and I can see the hierarchy by calling
UIATarget.localTarget().frontMostApp().mainWindow().logElementTree();

I get the following for example:

1 Window
2 My View
3 My Button
3 My Image

If I then turn on accessibility and set the label for my parent view I can no longer see my button and image anywhere in the hierarchy.
I just get:

1 Window
2 My View

Why have my views disappeared?

A: Straight from the iOS docs Accessibility Guide

Make the Contents of Custom Container Views Accessible
  If your application displays a custom view that contains other elements with which users interact, you need to make the contained elements separately accessible. At the same time, you need to make sure that the container view itself is not accessible. The reason is that users interact with the contents of the container, not with the container itself.
To accomplish this, your custom container view should implement the UIAccessibilityContainer protocol. This protocol defines methods that make the contained elements available in an array.
The following code snippet shows the partial implementation of a custom container view. Note that this container view creates the array of accessible elements only when methods of the UIAccessibilityContainer protocol are called. As a result, if iPhone accessibility is not currently active, the array is not created.

Lake Chad Basin: ICRC issues relief appeal for 11m people
At the third Lake Chad Region Conference held in Niamey on January 23-24, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is calling for urgent efforts to ensure effective protection of the millions of civilians mired in the violence.Over a decade into the crisis, conflict in the Lake Chad Basin shows no signs of abating.
Violence against the civilian population remains alarmingly high, leaving more than 11 million people struggling for survival each day.
"Despite efforts by state, humanitarian and development actors, the situation in the Lake Chad region remains dire. Millions have been forced to leave their homes. Thousands of families are living in extremely precarious conditions, without proper access to food, healthcare and education" said ICRC's Vice-President, Dr. Gilles Carbonnier.
Of the 11.3 million people in need of assistance to survive across the Lake Chad Basin, at least 3 million are displaced according to official sources, forced to flee their homes because of the violence. Entire communities are living in limbo, unsure if they will ever be able to return home.
"The fate of displaced people must be recognized as a top priority in the Lake Chad Basin," said Gilles Carbonnier.
The ICRC is encouraging states to ratify the Kampala Convention and adopt national implementation mechanisms.
The convention ensures protection and a layer of safety for internally displaced people, and provides governments with a framework to respond to displacement crises.
While the majority of African states have ratified it, action is required to incorporate the Convention's provisions into domestic legal frameworks and operationalise them.
States have a responsibility to ensure that internally displaced persons are allowed to make voluntary, decision to return to their places of origin in safe and dignified conditions, the ICRC said in a statement.
Due to the protracted nature of conflict many may not be able to do so and after more than a decade, the conflict in the Lake Chad Basin is protracted and its toll on people caught in the middle keeps rising, it warned.
The ICRC has registered more than 26,188 cases of disappearances across the four Lake Chad Basin countries: Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria. Almost 15,000 were minors at the time of their disappearance.
Children are of particular concern.
The protracted nature of the conflict affects minors disproportionately, especially those who face multiple displacement.
Being forced to flee home undermines the protected environment that family and community provide to children.
As a result, they become more at risk of sexual abuse, association with weapon bearers, family separation and disappearance.
To effectively respond to the protracted and dynamic nature of the conflict, a greater level of complementarity and agility is needed from multiple actors working together in a more synergetic approach.
One that brings together the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement as well as governmental , peace, development and other humanitarian partners to find long-term solutions to the crisis.
"We prioritize respect for international humanitarian law together with neutral, impartial and independent humanitarian action to protect and assist people in need across the Lake Chad Basin. If we are to meet growing humanitarian needs and achieve better results with and for populations affected by protracted conflict, innovative partnerships are also part of the solution," Mr Carbonnier said.

Both crickets have died from too much water and sunlight. We realized that leaving the box on the to near the window will lead to direct sunlight/too much sunlight making the eco-dome too hot. We also had a lot of water making it very humid so that lead to the plants dying which lead to no oxygen for the crickets.
This website says that we will need a dry food for the crickets. Last time we had tomatoes which were relatively moist food. We now have changed the food to cabbage because it isn't as wet and won't rot as fast. But unfortunately, we have not put enough so next time we will need to put more food in for the crickets.
Both my crickets died due to starvation. One of them were missing which could be because the other cricket ate it. But after a few days that bigger cricket also died. When we opened it, it smelled really bad (like a sweet garbage smell).
We think that the crickets died due to starvation and it was also too humid inside. The was condensation on all sides of the box and also a lot on the lid. We had a total of 200 ml of water which is a little more than last time.
It was an accident, we originally planned to put less water but we were afraid the plants would die.
In the website, it says that we should put in wet towels instead of standing water because crickets can drown very easily. We should also put something for the crickets to hide under so that the crickets can be comfortable and act naturally.
The most important thing for us that class was to find enough plants so the crickets would be able to breathe and no suffocate in the air tight box.
The next morning both crickets were still alive but by the afternoon only one of them were as it had eaten the other smaller one. But by the end of the day both of them died. We think that they both died because of starvation. Our problem was that the food was fresh and not rotten and there was also developing mold on the food making the crickets not eat the chopped food. Our next step is to experiment with how much water the ecodome will need and we also need to make the food rotten a little so that the crickets will eat it instead of eating each other.
How much water does the cricket actual need?
What foods do crickets eat?
Writing the paper itself was not that challenging because I had enough research to just put it together but what I really found challenging was making our newspaper look like an actual newspaper. By directly copying a newspaper spread helped but we had to keep in mind that everyone's writing had a different word count so sometimes it would be too little difficult because the paper would look a little off from the blank space. Because of this, we would have to rearrange everything to fill up the blank space.
I think one thing I did quite well in this project was put in good quotes and good information. For example, in my second paragraph, I had research what had happened to the environment in the last 20 years to give a background about the environment so that readers would understand what this paper was about. By adding quotes it makes the research more effective because it came from a person that you know. Having an interview is also essential to my journalism project because my topic was what the school was doing for the environment which means I need someone who works at the school to know what they are doing.
My goal for Quarter 2 is to have straight A's which might be challenging because in Yearbook we don't get much graded until our spread is due which is not soon. Right now 7 out of 8 of my grades are A's which is good but my challenge is to change my yearbook grade. Another one of my grades is to get better at volleyball especially in hitting. I have noticed that if I warm up my arm swing I can hit harder and a little more accurate but I need to get stronger to have strong hits and I also need to work on my set which is really inaccurate.
The video was very educational and I liked the video because of its examples and how the showed the things that had changed over time.
Vietnam had struggled some bit with income while they still ha multiple babies per women and in America, they had kept going down in a steady way because of their income. I noticed that the less income someone has the more children the have.
I don't think this video impacted me that much other than knowing how the world has improved over time. Though I do know that there are still a lot of countries still struggling with money so maybe I'll try to make donations for poverty.
I don't have that many unanswered questions.
2. What did you personally achieve today?
Today I made a few tiny tables for our small shop which is part of our 3d Model. Ian and I were working on making the tables while Amber was gluing the small shop to our 3D Model. We also fixed a few of our lollipop trees because a few of them looked very sloppy.
3. The rest of my group was good. Our group doesn't fight anymore like before during the first few classes when we first started our project.
4. Today we were reminded that we were behind and not very organized for our plan because we never really had a plan on what to do the next class or the class after that but now we are trying to be more organized and more planned out.
5. Our last steps are to make the trees, wait for the clay to dry so we can paint it and finally piece all of the small details to the large piece of our sculpture.
Last class was kind of a normal class, we got a normal amount go things done. Plastering, painting, planning, and making our new windows. We finally decided on what form the building was going to be which is good but it's completely different from what the actual building looks like. When we started plastering the cardboard we made it look like the building but now we decided that we would make it a small shopping area and a small apartment building.
My teammates and I did the same we did in every class. We were mostly just quite and talking about how to make the building look nicer. But unfortunately as always one of my teammates and I fought. It is not surprising ing because we usually fight ever class then just be quite to each other so that we don't get each other more mad. I don't like that we fight especially when its about small things like how to paint the windows or spray paint or sponging. I think that we really should solve this problem so that it doesn't get in the way of our work.
Every class we get a few things done like painting and adding on new pieces to the structure. We have been quite consistent on our work so far and I think that if we keep this going we will be done soon.
Our group is planning to completely finish the project. But next class we are planning to put the 2 big pieces of plaster together so that we can start adding the small details to the 2 main pieces of plaster.
It was the rats and rat fleas that started it. The people were bitten by the fleas or other people breathed in droplets of the moisture that the victims coughed up. People who tried to help the victims ended up catching the disease themselves, so the best they could do was to comfort the dying. The plague was a disease that spread throughout rat and rat fleas.
Between 1347 and 1353, more than 30 million people in Europe died from the plague. The plague spread all across Europe and it killed about ⅓ of their entire population. The plague kills quickly and gives you a high fever and a terrible headache other that being extremely painful, it was extremely contagious. The healthy had to avoid being in contact with the sick because it could've gotten them sick.
"So many people died of the plague that there were not enough coffins. Bodies were buried together is pits." The plague was a disease that spread throughout rat and rat fleas. Cats were wiped out due to the city's suspicions so the city had made it a great place for the rats to live in because of the scraps of food and the filthy streets.There was no cure for the plague in the 1300s.

Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol Christianity Turned God and Jesus Into a Religion, Never to Meddle in State Affairs, Much Less Rule the World
This book is Destruction # 8 of 12 Of Christianity Destroyed Jesus
Having treated God as a religion, Christianity has effectively made God irrelevant to the material world. God is LIFE, not RELIGION. Where there is life, there is God. Where there is no life, God is there to give life. And it is primarily because of the lack of life in the world that God sent his only begotten Son: Not to condemn the world, but to give it life. Furthermore, we cannot lock up God and Jesus in church and confine them within the bounds of spirituality, never to meddle in the political affairs of men. All the affairs in the world are God's. A separation of church and state is a separation of God from his people. God, Jesus, and the people of the world are inseparably one. Lastly, we often say God is Almighty. Yet, if he is Almighty, why is it the self-seeking men in sheep's clothing who are at the helm ruling the world—and not God? God must rule the world! From his Mission shall arise "NEW CAESARS" to renew the world. New Caesars, New World! Amen. [mehr][weniger]

World's Largest Indoor Theme Park In Full Swing in Dubai
Posted on November 7, 2016 (October 21, 2020)
Hub of extremities, Dubai, has opened yet another landmark, this time in the form of the largest indoor theme park in the world. Unprecedented in size and offering, the IMG Worlds of Adventure is the first international mega-themed park to open in Dubai.
The attraction covers 1.5 million square feet (equivalent to 28 football fields) and features international brands Marvel and Cartoon Network – the first ever global theme park to do so. It also boasts its own brands, IMG Boulevard and Lost Valley – Dinosaur Adventure.
Costing $1 billion US dollars to build over three years, the park is now in full swing, opening its doors for the first time on August 31. On site is an array of roller coasters and attractions, 28 original food and beverage offerings as well as 25 retail outlets.
The amusement park is wholly owned by the Ilyas and Mustafa Galadari Group, made up of Mr Ilyas Galadari and Mr Mustafa Galadari. In a statement, they said, 'The creation of IMG Worlds of Adventure is the realization of a shared childhood dream. This landmark launch has turned our aspirations of creating the world's largest indoor theme park into a reality. This marks a great achievement for everyone at the Ilyas & Mustafa Galadari Group and we would like to thank everyone who has been part of this epic journey. As the first international mega-themed park to open in the region, IMG Worlds of Adventure will set a new universal standard for a fully immersive theme park experience, further driving tourism whilst enabling the United Arab Emirates to achieve its vision of becoming the leading global leisure and entertainment destination. Today is a key milestone in Dubai's rich history and we are proud to be a part of it.'
An adult entry ticket to the park costs AED300 (approximately AUD$106) whilst a child ticket costs (approximately AUD$89). Due to soaring outside temperatures reaching 38 degrees Celsius, the IMG Worlds of Adventure in Dubai recorded 3,000 visitors on its opening day.
