Complete Rules of Entrepreneurship
The new rules of starting up. Plus, analyzing the start-up "blubble"""yes, blubble""and the rest of the day's news.
By Christine Lagorio-Chafkin, Senior writer, Inc.@Lagorio
Each day, Inc.'s reporters scour the Web for the most important and interesting news to entrepreneurs. Here's what we found today.
Entrepreneurs, defined. Merriam-Webster defines an entrepreneur as "one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise;" however, Business Insider columnist James Altucher believes this definition is inadequate. Altucher, who has started, invested in, and advised dozens of businesses, has created his own definitive 100 rules for being an entrepreneur. Most of the rules on this comprehensive list address the initial challenges of launching a new business—but some rules also apply to those larger, more stable, companies as well. Which rules do you follow? What's missing from the list? Let us know below.
Is the start-up bubble just "blubble?" That's the word Michael Arrington is using, at least. In a TechCrunch piece published this weekend, Arrington asserts that the state of the start-up world is a far-cry from the 1999 to 2000 years of cash and burn. "This isn't a bubble," he writes. "It's more like a Blubble. A blubble? Yes, a blubble. Because there is a lot of whining going on." Arrington asserts that start-ups 11 years ago were encouraged to raise hundreds of millions in venture capital and spend it on anything remotely useful, while today's start-ups are much leaner. High valuations on Facebook and Twitter have stoked the "bubble" buzz, he says, but start-ups are hardly raising enough funds to start using the B-word officially. Well, most start-ups at least. "Absolutely no one is telling start-ups to raise and spend money as fast as they can. With the possible exception of Color. I have no idea what those guys are up to over there in crazy picture-sharing land."
Happy employees work here. In the mist of a gradual economic recovery, how do you retain employees? Fortune highlights the best practices from three companies that made this year's 100 Best Companies to Work For list: Zappos, DreamWorks Animation, and Teach for America. Some of the perks include a live-and-work-from-anywhere policy, free dry-cleaning, meals and medical care on campus, and the ability of veto hiring decisions if a job candidate doesn't fit the company culture. One recruiting manager, Christa Foley, says: "We're looking for people who don't take themselves too seriously." The company she works for interviews job candidates in rooms with weird names, such as an Oprah-style talk show set where candidates sit on a couch next to their HR host.
The stalemate is over. Twitter is staying in San Francisco, the company announced on its blog Friday, the New York Times reports. The news puts to rest a months-long stand-off over during which Twitter threatened to leave its home by the bay, and officials debated whether Twitter should be allowed to benefit from a special tax exemption to San Francisco's only-in-the-state payroll tax. In order to take the break, Twitter is moving into a district of the Central Market neighborhood newly zoned as payroll-tax-exempt. When? "We don't yet have a timeline for our relocation, but we expect we will move into our new space in mid-2012. We can't wait," Sean Garrett posted for Twitter. What's yet to be seen is how the city reacts to similar relocation threats from other local, growing tech companies such as Zynga.
Redmond rethinks employee comp. In an effort to keep from employees from departing for start-ups, Microsoft's Steve Ballmer has unveiled new rules governing employee pay, according to an internal company memo published by GeekWire. The retooled compensation scheme would raise base salaries while reducing deferred compensation awarded in the form of stock. In addition, Microsoft's performance-rating system will be retooled, and special consideration will be paid to "early and mid-level R&D, mid-level company-wide and certain geographies," the memo says. In a post titled "What Microsoft CEO Ballmer Gets Wrong About Employee Compensation," Mogulite's Amy Tennery observes a.) the shout-out for oft-maligned middle managers is surprising; and b.) "For the less-stock-more-cash strategy to be a boon to employees, Microsoft shares would need to decline significantly over time."
Big gains for tablets predicted. When the iPad was introduced a year ago, critics complained it was simply a bigger version of the iPhone—without the actual ability to make a phone call. The iPad and its competitors have since proven themselves highly useful both for consumer and for commercial use. Goldman Sachs forecasts tablets will account for 17 percent of all wireless data demand by 2020, as reported by All Things Digital this morning. Smartphones remain far more prevalent than their larger counterparts (they can make phone calls after all), but this data proves tablets are fast becoming less a luxury and more a necessity for consumer and commercial use.
Marketing begins at home. Sure, customers research large purchases, such as electronics or automobiles, before heading to the store or showroom. Research shows that "coming out of the recession, consumers are more scrupulous about researching their everyday products such as diapers and detergent, too," the Wall Street Journal reports. More than one-fifth of consumers research food and beverage purchases online, one-third research pet products, and nearly 40 percent research baby products, data from consulting firm WSL Strategic Retail shows. Is this an early knell for the end of flashy in-store shelf displays and aisle-end promotions? Not necessarily, but it does mean retail stores and brands are boosting their investments in reaching consumers online first, including on social media. Eighty-three percent of consumer-product companies say they plan to increase their investments in shopper marketing over the next three years, according to a Booz & Co. survey.

The Energy East issue raises serious questions about local democratic processes and transparency, and what those who govern us understand about the risks this major pipeline project poses. It also brings to the forefront a big question about how and from whom these decision-makers get their information and just how reliable it is, especially when it is coming from TransCanada itself.
Today we're going to put TransCanada's credibility to the test by examining just one of the many highly questionable "benefits" it has shared with our largely receptive elected officials. From slide decks they used at County and North Grenville Councils there is a selling point: Canadian Oil for Canadians. It suggests two things: energy independence and the ethical superiority of Canadian bitumen.
Their slides show how Quebec and the Maritime Provinces are reliant on imported oil; it could be up to 80% of their needs. They mention how Canada takes in 736,000 foreign barrels per day and imply that some of the 3.7 million barrels of daily bitumen production could be used to satisfy Canadian demand. An interesting suggestion that even Elizabeth May has made.
So why isn't it already being done? It's certainly not for a lack of transportation infrastructure; we've seen rail already being used to move bitumen across Canada. One reason is because there's no capacity in Eastern Canada to refine such heavy crude.
But TransCanada is appealing to our sense of patriotism with their "nation-building project" by implying the opportunity to make ourselves energy independent. So why aren't fossil fuel companies already stepping up to satisfy this supposed demand to "buy Canadian" at the pumps? You can bet that if these companies thought money could be made doing it, they would. But they don't see a return on the multi-billion dollars of investment needed to build heavy oil refining capacity, so they continue to buy the oil their refineries need from offshore.
One last note: making the country energy-independent was essentially the core concept of the National Energy Program (NEP) in the 80's. It is strangely paradoxical that opposition politicians have invoked the lingering anger from the NEP and Pierre Trudeau against Justin Trudeau, yet advocate for this project claiming the same benefits as the NEP which, nonetheless, will not be delivered: hardly ethical.
Which brings us to the second part: there's more to this proposal than a hint about making Canada energy independent. There is also the "ethical oil" theme: where oil from so many foreign sources is compromised by the ethics of their governments, unlike the purity of the Canadian product, or so the argument goes. It sounds good until one actually examines the claim.
We blatantly saw this in a widely used image: foreign flags on gas pump handles, and a question asking you where you would like your fuel to come from. It had flags of countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Angola, Venezuela and Canada. It figured prominently in Energy East web-based advertising, with images like these on the "Energy East Action Network" website for "grassroots support"; a website paid for by TransCanada.
The image has since been scrubbed, probably because the overt use of the "ethical oil" argument has since become a source of embarrassment for the cause. It hasn't however, stopped the use of such flag imagery: it is still being used to this day by TransCanada as a "dog whistle" to those who want to believe the "ethical oil" argument has merit, and are in presentations TransCanada has recently given to County Council.
So, how "ethical" is bitumen when compared to other oils? First the others: there's Saudi Arabia's record of women's rights and human rights in the Yemen; there's separatist conflict in Angola, an unstable economy in Venezuela, and sectarian violence in Iraq. And then there are the companies that are operating in such places, many of which are also mining bitumen in Alberta: companies like NEXEN, SUNCOR and the Chinese company CNOOC (a communist State Owned Enterprise). Doesn't operating in less "ethical" countries tarnish them and by extension their global product, including Canadian bitumen?
And then there is dilbit. When shipped by pipeline it is 30% diluent, possibly from Saudi Arabia. Presumably, it is then 70% ethical, at best.
But is Canada or its bitumen beyond ethical reproach? Consider the tar sands ecosphere: 170 square miles of land in Alberta dug down 40 meters, massive tailings ponds and a mountain of sulfur. And the industry has put aside 1% of the money necessary to remediate it when it winds down. Don't be fooled: despite the rhetoric, it is impossible to believe there will be funds available to replace the boreal forest when the carbon bubble bursts (the story is the same for Alberta's oil wells). It is hard to imagine that until the sands of time cover it up again, it will be anything other than a health and environmental risk as well as a public liability. Where are the ethics of that?
And what of the health concerns from environmental toxicity for peoples and First Nations in the region? Governments past have deliberately neglected environmental measurement to avoid knowing the impact. Not so ethical.
All we see are knowingly misleading claims that leverage patriotic emotions for an offering that is not included in the plan, and far outside any reasonable expectations for industry to deliver. But it sounds good if you want to believe it, if you don't think twice, and if you don't ask questions.
If Mayor Gordon knows better, I would like to see the evidence. I don't buy "gag orders" or the excuse that he can't share because the source of his information doesn't want its identity revealed.

It is early Christmas for students as County issues bursaries
KNA December 19, 2018 Editor's Pick 0
Kwale County Deputy Governor, Fatuma Achani gives a cash reward to one of the bursary beneficiaries, Henry Odhiambo, a student from Mangu High School for being the only one who scored grade A- in terminal exams during the launch of the first round of bursaries at Kinondo, Msambweni on December 18, 2018. Photo by Shaban Omar
Kwale County government has started issuing Sh114million bursaries to 3,800 students in national schools.
Governor Salim Mvurya said beneficiaries under this category qualify for full scholarships and the disbursement will be concluded in all the four Sub-counties namely, Msambweni, Matuga, Lunga Lunga and Kinango before Christmas.
Mvurya was speaking Wednesday when he officially launched the bursary distribution exercise at Nyumba Mbovu grounds, Kinondo location, Msambweni Sub-county where cheques worth Sh24million were handed over to 585 students from various national schools.
Another 640 students who qualified for Form One places in national schools after topping in 2018's Kenya Certificate of Education examination will be next in line and their fees will be paid early January, 2019, he added
He said fees for the rest of the beneficiaries will be paid from the Sh400 million County bursary kitty to their respective schools by the end of January under the county's 'Elimu ni Sasa' initiative.
However, Mr. Mvurya and his Deputy, Ms. Fatuma Achani said eligibility for the support will continue to be pegged on student's performance, warning that lazy ones risked being locked out of the sponsorship.
The beneficiaries must work extra hard in school to secure the support, the two said while expressing shock after it emerged that none of the students present at the event attained grade A in last term's exams.
"Payment of the bursaries will be conditional upon the performance of individual students. We cannot continue paying bursaries for lazy beneficiaries because we must get value for the tax-payers' money we spend on you," warned Mr. Mvurya.
Ms. Achani challenged the students to take advantage of the initiative to improve on their performance to justify the assistance.
"This is a good initiative mooted because we care for your future but it will be of assistance only if you maintain a high performance tempo. It is so painful to find that your performance is wanting yet you are in some of the best schools," she said.
Mr. Mvurya said the bursary fund which was started six years ago will be sustained as one of the strategies to revive the education sector that has been wanting over the years.
"The ultimate goal of these bursaries is to bolster education to transform the county through the creation of a pool of knowledgeable and highly skilled human resource base," he said.

Council chiefs called in to monitor £1.2m redevelopment of Penwortham Residential Park
Residents with concerns about the new retaining wall are advised to contact the HSE
Catherine Musgrove
Published: 14:18 Wednesday 19 June 2019
Residents have been reassured "there has been no wrongdoing" over disputed work at a Penwortham caravan park.
South Ribble Borough Council were called in to investigate work at Penwortham Residential Park off Stricklands Lane after new owners began creating additional housing spaces on land that was a communal green and by excavating an embankment area.
Clearance work and the new retaining wall at Penwortham Residential Park
Residents said work was started without notifying them, questioned whether it has the correct development permission, and were worried over the impact of work to the embankment on the stability of trees above.
>>>Read the first story about the concerns here
But now - despite initially considering a stop order - borough planning bosses have found the works were being carried out in accordance with permitted development.
However, a new retaining wall built near the excavated embankment is not covered by building regulations and residents concerned about it have been advised to report it to the Health and Safety Executive.
The former communal green, which is being developed for plots
Councillor Bill Evans said: "Having investigated this matter in full, we are satisfied that there has been no wrongdoing and that all works to date have been undertaken within the owner's permitted development rights.
"We will be monitoring the situation closely and would welcome residents to contact the council directly by emailing planning@southribble.gov.uk if they have any further issues or comments."
Wyldecrest Parks took ownership of Penwortham Residential Park off Stricklands Lane in December 2018, with chairman Alfie Best telling the Post the work is part of a £1.2m regeneration.
He said improvements being made to the gas and electricity supply, drainage, road conditions, the office area and landscaping.
He said: "People have complained to us about the electricity and drainage and we've acted quickly and diligently. But you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs."
He also revealed a new leisure area will be installed to compensate for the loss of the green area.
Lancashire Wildlife Trust said they received a complaint about tree clearance work. They said they were concerned that tree felling and scrub clearance during the nesting season is bad practice.

NASA Officially Admits to Being Hacked
Posted on June 21, 2019	at 1:07 PM
Cybersecurity breaches continue to pose a major threat to the privacy and security of individuals and companies around the world. The number of hacking attacks appears to be constantly growing, and many have started to wonder if there is any way to achieve total security.
For now, it appears that no one is truly safe from hackers, as confirmed by a new report published by NASA. In it, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration confirmed that its JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) suffered a security breach. The agency published an audit document made by the US Office of Inspector General, which reveals that JPL servers got invaded by an unauthorized Raspberry Pi computer.
The servers were targeted by hackers who managed to find their way in, and as soon as they did — they continued to delve deeper into NASA's network. It is currently unknown what levels they managed to reach, or what data they may have stolen during the breach. However, it was said that the hackers apparently managed to reach the DNS (Deep Space Network) array of radio telescopes. It is also likely that they did not stop there, and that additional JPL systems got compromised as well.
The breach allegedly occurred at some point in April 2018, and it was deemed so serious and massive that the Johnson Space Center made a decision to disconnect from the gateway. Johnson did it to protect its own systems, which are responsible for multiple programs, such as the International Space Station.
With Johnson officials worrying that the breach might move on to compromise their network and systems as well, the decision is not really surprising. If the hackers did manage to gain access to their network as well, they might have initiate malicious signals that would interfere with human space flight missions. This was clearly a risk that Johnson Space Center was unwilling to take.
The situation is grave, and despite the fact that some limited spacecraft data was successfully restored earlier this year, in March — Johnson never restored its use of all communications data. The Center appears to still be concerned regarding the reliability of the data and the security of the JPL network.
Johnson cannot really be blamed for that, as the audit identified numerous technical and security mistakes. Considering the importance and responsibility of the institution, these flaws reflect very poorly on its reliability and security of JPL network. The audit identified security violation ticket resolution shortcomings, poor IT asset visibility, as well as untimely delays in patching known flaws and vulnerabilities, and all of these are only the most critical issues.
It is as if JPL completely ignored everything in regards to even the most basic security. Not only that, but the system administrators were found to lack security certifications. Further, there was no role-based security training, nor the round-the-clock incident reporting capability. Of course, this is not the case when it comes to NASA's main security operations center (SOC), which seems to be fully caught up on security details and training of those in charge of it.
The aftermath of the hack
All of this is deeply concerning, especially due to the fact that NASA is among the top of high-profile targets, as stated by the information security analyst, Mike Thompson. He clarified by stating that most people immediately associate NASA with space and space-related activities. However, this is only a portion of the research and activities that NASA is truly involved in.
The agency research and development includes all the cutting edge tech, science, as well as countless patents that cover it all. However, while the hack is more than a year old at this point, it is likely that the hackers might still be present within the network, as stated by an ethical hacker, John Opdenakker.
He stated that there is still no confirmation that the network has been patched and secured, and that it is still possible that hackers are operating within it. After all, hacking such a system is far from being an easy achievement, and any hacker who managed to do it would likely ensure that they can do it again, or at least that they would continue to gather information through some other method.
Even the report itself confirmes that critical vulnerabilities remain, and the cyber intrusions are still very much possible. The report also warns that they could result in theft of critical information. Obviously, this brings a major challenge in terms of cybersecurity, and one that NASA itself will have to face. Not only for the difficulties of finally making the network safe, but also because the agency cannot eliminate threats while collaborating with other scientists and researchers from adversarial countries.
For example, Russian hackers are known for their exploits throughout the world. However, NASA cannot just completely block off Russia when it is partnered with its own agencies and scientists. This inability to protect itself without consequences puts NASA's status as a global leader in aeronautics research and space exploration at serious risk, as the report itself states.
It appears that no one is truly safe from hackers, as confirmed by a new report published by NASA. In it, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration confirmed that its JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) suffered a security breach.

CRAIG CAMPBELL REVEALS ALL-STAR LINEUP FOR 6TH ANNUAL CELEBRITY CORNHOLE CHALLENGE
BIG NAMES LOOKING TO SCORE IN SUPPORT OF
FIGHT COLORECTAL CANCER ON JUNE 5
"SEE YOU TRY" HIT MAKER HAS HELPED RAISE MORE THAN $300K TO DATE
Craig Campbell is proud to announce the official lineup of his 6th Annual Celebrity Cornhold Challenge, with some of the biggest names in country and beyond set for good times and a good cause.
Taking place at Nashville's City Winery on June 5, this year's event will feature Craig and his wife Mindy, as well as Russell Dickerson, Lindsay Ell, Walker Hayes, Brett Kissel, Nascar driver Scott Lagasse Jr, LoCash's Chris Lucas and Preston Brust, Jerrod Niemann, Taylor Phillips, Dee Jay Silver, Tegan Marie, The Cadillac Three's Jaren Johnston and Kelby Ray and Brett Young.
The One Million Strong Benefit – a gala dinner, ceremony and singer-songwriter round with Campbell – at City Winery will follow on June 6, where the final tally of funds raised for Fight Colorectal Cancer (Fight CRC) will be revealed. Last year's combined events raised more than $180,000, as fans bid for the chance to compete in the tournament against the stars themselves, and dinner attendees bid on auction items like a backyard BBQ with Campbell and a Nascar experience with Scott Lagasse, Jr., another Fight CRC spokesman.
Campbell is a national spokesperson for Fight CRC – a nonprofit organization working to increase awareness, education, advocacy and research for colorectal cancer, the second-leading cause of cancer deaths among adults in the U.S. The hit maker lost his father to the disease when he was just 11 years old. As Fight CRC's first national spokesman, Campbell has raised more than $300,000 by co-hosting the organization's One Million Strong benefit and his celebrity cornhole challenge.
The Georgia native will be in headlines once again on June 8, this time for releasing his highly-anticipated See You Try EP – seven diverse tracks featuring his flirtatious chart-riser "See You Try" and two versions of the critically acclaimed "Outskirts of Heaven." It's Campbell's first new collection of tunes in five years, and arrives after a standout 2017 which included Luke Bryan's Huntin', Fishin' And Lovin' Every Day Tour.
Campbell will headline select dates across North America throughout the summer of 2018.

Q: error defining a private class function in a cpp separate from header I really didn't know how to resume clear what I want to know, so the title might be a bit confusing.
I have a class defined in a header, ex "CClass".
Inside this class a structure, ex :myStruct.
In private area I have the signature of a function that returns a pointer of the myStruct type, ex: myStruct* (int a){};
I have a CPP file where I wrote the function definition.
I include the class at the beginning of the CPP but when I write the function definition I have the error: identifier "myStruct" not found.
I will insert the exact pieces of code down.
class CProgram{

struct var {
    int asc;
    int val;
    var*next;
};

  var *tr;

public:

  void init(std::string in);
  CProgram(std::string in);
  CProgram();
  ~CProgram();

private:
  void sub();
  var* search(var*h, int u);
};

next I insert the piece of the code from cpp:
#include "CProgram.h"
using namespace std;

var* CProgram::search(var*h, int u) {//here I have the error:identifier "var" is undefined
while ((h->next != NULL) && (h->asc != u))
    h = h->next;

if (h->asc == u) return h;
else return NULL;
}

A: var structure is nested within the CProgram class and thus is invisible in the source file, you have to fully qualify it as CProgram::var .
Then your function becomes:
CProgram::var* CProgram::search(var*h, int u)
{
    while ((h->next != NULL) && (h->asc != u))
    h = h->next;

    if (h->asc == u) return h;
        else return NULL;
}

The name of the nested class exists in the scope of the enclosing class.

See the reference on nested class for more details.

By applying Kaizen to the company as a whole, it is possible to have everyone contribute to the improvement. While many executives and managers will be driving change and improvement, it doesn't always have to start with them. Front line employees, for example, will often be the ones to notice problems or inefficiencies in the work they are doing. When the company supports them and their willingness to make changes, these individuals will drive Kaizen as well.
Another way to look at the continuous improvement in a company is by thinking about what happens in the days and weeks immediately following a Kaizen event. Do the participants go back to working as normal? Do they actually implement the changes and improvements they learned about during the event? While this is a good start, it needs to go much further than that.
Continuous improvement after a Kaizen event means that the individuals and groups which attended the event return to their day to day job and start working to identify other improvements that need to be made. While putting the training they received in the event to work, they keep an eye out for other changes which they could implement. Some of the things these individuals find may lead to future Kaizen events, and others might just be a small improvement which can be implemented quickly and easily.
If, however, a company doesn't have an effective culture of continuous improvement, people won't be inclined to look out for those opportunities. They may implement the changes they learned about, because they feel obligated to through their management. They won't take the initiative, however, to watch out for further improvement opportunities. This means that the company will be losing out a lot of great insight, which only the front line employees could provide.
Continuous improvement is essential to the long term success of any company. When the management team is supportive of this culture of improvement it will not only help to streamline processes, but also improve the overall morale of everyone in the facility. Empowering individuals to identify areas where change is needed, and help to develop the processes and procedures is going to help ensure everyone is always working hard to improve the company, and themselves.

Results trickle through in virus-affected Queensland elections
News State QLD News Results trickle through in virus-affected Queensland elections

Votes are being counted to determine who will run Queensland's councils and take a seat in state parliament.
The level of turnout in the 77 local government polls and by-elections in the state seats of Currumbin on the Gold Coast and Bundamba at Ipswich is unclear.
Results could take days after more than 500,000 people voted by mail to avoid queuing amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
It's unknown what impact the virus may have on the polls.
Government officials have for weeks urged Queenslanders to stay at home to avoid spreading the infection and simultaneously told them to go out and vote.
Labor's Lance McCallum is set to retain Bundamba, according to ABC election analyst Antony Green, while Laura Gerber was on track to hold Currumbin for the Liberal National Party.
Those results would not change the government but are a sign of what's to come at October's state election.
Meanwhile the LNP's Adrian Schrinner was leading in the race to become Brisbane mayor, followed by Labor's Patrick Condren.
Tom Tate was tracking ahead on the Gold Coast, while Teresa Harding was ahead in poll for Ipswich mayor and Darren Power was leading the pack in Logan.
Queenslanders have begun what could be a long wait to find out who will sit on their new council and claim two seats in state parliament.
With just 29.9 per cent of the vote counted in Bundamba, Labor candidate Lance McCallum is ahead with One Nation's Sharon Bell coming in second. The seat was left vacant by the resignation of long-term Labor MP Jo-Ann Miller.
Her exit from politics came after Jann Stuckey quit politics after holding the Gold Coast seat of Currumbin for the Liberal National Party. Laura Gerber is running for the LNP there and is ahead.
These polls will not change the government but will be watched closely as indicators of what's to come at October's state election. Labor holds a sizeable margin in Bundamba, while the LNP has held Currumbin since 2004.
However, the results may not be known by the end of the night, as more than 570,000 residents were expected to vote by mail. Results for 77 councils are unclear.
Brisbane is Australia's largest council and has been held by the Liberal National Party since 2004. Adrian Schrinner was sworn in as Lord Mayor last year when Graham Quirk resigned.
He is now in his first race for the job against Labor candidate Patrick Condren.
The former television journalist is his biggest threat.
One thing is for certain: Lawrence Springborg, former leader of the Liberal National Party, will return to politics after running unopposed for mayor of Goondiwindi.
Eyes will be focused on a number of regions in the state's southeast.
Ipswich and Logan will also be watched with interest after the mayors in both regions were punted from office following investigations by the Crime and Corruption Commission.

States move to scale back on-site school activity


In view of the enormous popularity of the article about starvationFor weight loss, we decided to write about a completely different system of weight loss, which has a fundamentally opposite essence. In this article, we will tell you about fractional nutrition. So, if you want to lose weight, but do not want to starve - then this article is just for you.
What does fractional food mean?
For those who have never heard of a fractional dietOr heard, but still does not know what it is, we will tell you about it in detail. Fractional food is a special diet, based on frequent consumption of food in small quantities.
So, from this definition, in general terms, you have already misunderstood that fractional meals establish frequent meals, but significantly limit the amount of servings.
Fractional nutrition can not be called a diet, sinceIt establishes the system of reception and the amount of food consumed, but not its diet. Despite the fact that the mode of fractional nutrition does not have any diet, it, like any other food system, has a list of prohibited foods that need to be excluded from its diet, but again, the exclusion of products is not a diet, but the rule of nutrition .
Now let's look at the basic principles of fractional nutrition for weight loss.
As already mentioned, to lose weight on a fractionalNutrition can be due to the separation of portions into several meals. To achieve the maximum effect from the use of the fractional power system, it is recommended not only to break down the meals, but also gradually reduce the portions. For example, you eat three times a day, and the portions are large enough. The fractional food system recommends that each meal be divided into two approaches. Thus, it turns out that your three meals a day becomes six-time, with the same volume of products per day. Each meal should be taken at intervals of two hours.
This principle of nutrition contributes to the fact that ourThe digestive system quickly digests the food we eat, which comes in small quantities, and accordingly, for this reason, the body does not put off any "stocks". Moreover, we do not feel hungry, because we eat every two hours, and this affects our subconscious, because we know that we'll eat in a couple of hours, and so it does not make sense to eat too much. This system of nutrition gradually gets used to our body, so the appetite becomes more moderate and the feeling of satiety begins to come quickly.
Fractional food helps not only to lose weight, but alsoCleanse your body of toxins and toxins, but also helps to relieve the digestive system, since it works in a calm rhythm, without overloads, as is the case with three meals a day.
The fractional power system eliminates the two most commonThe main factor: overeating and a constant feeling of hunger. Let's start with the fact that overeating is not considered when we ate up to the limit and we begin to feel sick, or it's hard for us to get up from the table - no, overeating is eating food above the norm. Each person's intake of food varies. The norm is the reception of such a quantity of food, in which you have a feeling of satiety, and not eating "until it stops." To consume the amount of food that is considered the norm, you must learn to feel your appetite and understand what a feeling of satiety is. To do this, food intake should be very slow, because when we quickly eat, our body does not have time to convey to the brain a sense of satiety and therefore we overeat. If you eat slowly, it will help to avoid overeating. A norm is when your body stops feeling hungry.
As for the constant feeling of hunger, hisWe experience quite often, because we eat very little, only three, at most four times a day. Due to the fact that the body is constantly feeling hungry, he begins to "save" his reserves in the form of fat. That's why when we eat three times a day or use diets, it's stress for the body and it gets used to that constantly remains hungry and makes such "reserves". If the body is constantly full, then such stocks do not need to.
Drinks with gas and dye.
Thus, you will need to just slightly adjust your diet, and not completely change it, as it is done in various diets.
At last in this block it is necessary to mention and aboutTime of reception of food. So, the first meal - breakfast, should be between 7:00 and 8:00. The first snack is taken between 10:00 and 11:00. Lunch is between 12:45 and 13:30. The second snack is in the interval 14: 30-15: 00. Dinner should be taken between 17:00 and 18:00. The last undershot is necessary until 20:00. If you have a different mode of the day, then the meal schedule should be shifted.
In a day you should drink at least 8 glasses of water. Be sure to drink a glass of water: in the morning on an empty stomach, 15 minutes before eating (but not after) and half an hour before you go to bed.
The advantage of fractional power is primarilyIs that you do not need to change your diet - it's just slightly adjusted. Unlike using a huge number of diets, you will not use feelings of hunger, and this is probably the most important advantage. Roughly speaking, fractional food allows you to eat and lose weight.
One of the main advantages of fractionalNutrition is that the body will not put aside "stocks" in problem areas: waist and hips. Thus, by connecting in parallel the physical exercises for weight loss, you will achieve the desired parameters in these parts of the body, and the effect achieved will be fixed, since new deposits of fat in these places will not appear.
Fractional nutrition gives quite good results. Within a couple of weeks of such a power system you will notice the results in your figure, and the feeling of ease in the stomach - even earlier.
Perhaps the most important drawback of fractional nutrition is that, few people will be able to comply with such a diet, in view of the working schedule. This is more about snacks.
For many, the disadvantage of fractional nutrition will beIt is also the fact that this is not a diet, but a food system that must be followed not for a week or a month, but constantly. But on the other hand, fractional food is the right food and we must always eat this way.
Be sure to read the article on how to eat right to lose weight.
The fractional diet for slimming, as alreadySaid earlier, should change smoothly. First you give up forbidden foods, then break your portions, then transfer the second portions of the portions to snacks. The final stage of the transition to fractional food is the reception of a quantity of food that will help to satisfy the feeling of hunger.
To your attention, we want to offer an approximate diet for a week, built on a fractional food system.
Snack: A glass of kefir (skim).
Snack: A glass of milk.
The third day is recommended to be made unloading. We advise you to use a fasting day on apples or a fasting day on kefir. The unloading day begins with the evening of the second day, after the last meal and ends on the morning of the fourth day. More detailed information about unloading days and the rules of their holding you can find in the corresponding section of our site dedicated exclusively to unloading days.
Snack: A glass of fatty ryazhenka.
Snack: A glass of fat-free yogurt.

AASTS welcomes its seventh batch of students
https://www.zawya.com/en/press-release/companies-news/aasts-welcomes-its-seventh-batch-of-students-flg14zu8
AASTS begins its 2022-2023 academic year in a state-of-the-art campus with world-class facilities
Sharjah, UAE: The Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport Sharjah (AASTS) welcomed its seventh batch of students. On the first day of the 2022-2023 academic year at AASTS, the newly appointed Director, interacted with the fresh batch of students and encouraged them to begin their careers in the maritime industry with a proactive and optimistic approach.
As part of its mission to qualify skilled cadres in the maritime sector, the Academy accepted a total of 58 applications, which includes 35 male applicants and 23 female aspiring professionals. With another year witnessing a high volume of intake, AASTS reinforced its active role in contributing towards the development of the region's maritime sector.
Welcoming the Academy's new batch of students, Dr. Hashem Abdullah Al Zaabi, Director, AASTS said: "Ever since this state-of-the-art edifice was inaugurated by H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi in 2019, we have seen a significant rise in the number of students enrolling to study at the Academy. The industry has been one of the most prominent contributors to the nation's development and progress right from the 1970s. As of 2020, the industry contributed over AED 90 billion to the national economy, thus the onus is on maritime academies such as ourselves to strengthen the capabilities of the sector by qualifying highly skilled maritime professionals that are capable of capitalising on the modern technologies available today to take the sector in the country, as well as the national economy to greater heights."
"In line with our objective of staying ahead of the curve, we adopted the most up-to-date education model, modern facilities, and digitally advanced training solutions such as simulators for practical experience. We are well aware of the needs of the global maritime industry and have some of the most experienced and qualified faculty, who educate the next generation of maritime professionals to be competent professionals. Additionally, when you look at the uniqueness of the Academy in terms of exposing our students to real-life scenarios through on-field experiences onboard vessels and ports, it is certain that our students are prepared to take on the challenges facing the industry and chart out solutions that could strengthen the capabilities of the industry worldwide," Dr. Al Zaabi added.
Latest Facilities
The Academy's branch in Sharjah is the largest of all the AASTMT campuses, and is comparable in size and capabilities to its headquarters in Alexandria. Generous scholarships offered by the Ruler of Sharjah have enabled hundreds of students in beginning their careers in the maritime sector with the Academy, and in occupying some of the top positions in the sector. Additionally, its state-of-the-art facilities rank it amongst the best international universities and maritime academies across the globe.
Dr. Capt. Ahmed Youssef, Associate Dean, College of Maritime Transport and Technology, AASTS said: "With a fresh set of advanced education facilities such as our top-notch simulators, we are extremely excited to welcome our new batch of students. It was wonderful to see that the youth's interest in the maritime sector is growing year after year. Without doubt, this is an industry that provides unparalleled opportunities to thrive, and it is great to see that this is being realised by the younger generation as well."
"Here at the Academy, our focus has always been to educate and train students about the theoretical and practical aspects of the industry in a manner that will leave a lasting impact on their careers. Additionally, we collaborate with several leading maritime entities across the globe and various government bodies in order to ensure that our students are trained in environments that are ideal for their professional growth. By working in such entities, our future leaders are able to have a better understanding of how the industry operates, and are able to build a bigger network for themselves to be provided with opportunities early-on in their careers. Moreover, the Academy has always been at the forefront of increasing the representation of women in the industry. By encouraging young females to enroll in the Academy and be a part of the sector, we have been able to ensure that over 45 per cent of our students are females. By achieving this unique feat, we have cemented ourselves as pioneers in enhancing the presence of women in the maritime industry," Dr. Capt. Youssef added.

Buying an iPod Touch changed that, though. Once I took a bit of care to add a stylesheet that looked good on the device, I found that it was just as easy to go through my vocabulary on the iPod as it was on the computer, and it was hugely easier to fit the review into spare moments of the day. So I switched from doing one big review a day to at least three a day, plus a few more when I had spare moments around the house.
So that was a huge help. I still couldn't review vocabulary during spare moments at work, though; and once I got an iPhone, the number of places where I could conceivably review vocabulary but couldn't actually do so got even larger! This made making the program available safely on the internet a lot more urgent.
I still don't necessarily recommend that anybody else use it. For one thing, I suspect that the spacing of my review sessions isn't optimal: I'm using exponential spacing more out of optimism than any strong evidence that it's the best pattern to use, and in fact I get the feeling that some of my gaps in the months-out range are a little bit off. And, for another thing, I'm sure that there are features that I don't need that others would find important; I can't promise to be able to add them.
I will, however, strongly recommend that, if you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch and are considering using some sort of timed review program, that you don't choose a desktop-only solution (unless you have a desktop computer in your bathroom): it makes a huge difference to be able to nibble away at your items when you have free time instead of having to do larger batches at less frequent intervals. And I hope that I'll be able to add feature requests that I deem sensible without making you wait too much; alternatively, I'm happy to make a Mercurial repository available if you want to tinker with it yourself. I will also back up your data offsite nightly (though I make no uptime guarantees for the server my program is hosted on: it's my home computer, and if something bad happens while I'm on vacation, it could take a couple of weeks to get it fixed). And you should be able to export your items / timing information as an XML file at will, if you want to change solutions. (Though it's your problem getting that XML file translated into whatever format the other solution wants!) Having used it for more than a year gives me confidence that I'll remain interested enough that it shouldn't disappear for the forseeable future.
So if any of you wants to give it a try, let me know and I'll set you up with an account.
Incidentally, I mentioned a few months ago that I was feeling a bit swamped with projects and conference prep, and was planning to step back some from my normal blogging schedule. (Especially the video game related parts of it.) Fortunately, Agile 2009 is now over (though, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed both the preparation and conference very much!), and some of my side projects are winding down, so things should be getting back to normal around here. In fact, over the last week and a half things have been much more prolific than normal on this blog; I don't plan to keep that up, but it is very nice both to have the time and energy to blog like that and to remind myself that I really enjoy doing so.
I'd like to give it a go. I just got an iPhone 3G to replace the Nokia 3210 I'd been using since 1999, and I've been looking for ways to make its presence more prominent in my life.

There's never any concerns about sharing when you each have your own bulldozer.
The construction at Seabrook has been a huge hit and requires many trips to see the diggers, bulldozers, skid loaders, dump trucks and fork lifts.


There is no questions that Lisa Vasquez is a terrifically talented lady. She runs Stitched Smile Publications and also is an amazing writer and makes some of the best book covers around.I am super proud to know her, work with her and be her friend and beta reader. If you have not read anything she has written you are making a HUGE mistake. I highly recommend The Unfleshed one of her newest books. it will have you turning pages and feeling very uncomfortable in your own skin. She is truly passionate about everything she does and is always all in for anything. She is also a mom, grandma and wife and how she finds time to do all she does I will never know. She has helped countless writers just starting out and some established ones as well. She is a diamond in the Indie Book world. Thank you for all you do! You are much-loved and respected.
I would definitely pick Anne Rice. She's an accomplished author and Renaissance woman, in my eyes. She is a voice to her fans, she interacts with them, she has grace and intelligence. We seem to have a lot in common as far as interests…I think it would be an amazing lunch date.
Thankfully, I don't have of those weird tales to tell. My fans are weird in a good way. But they haven't done weird "things" toward me, lol.
Editing! Ugh…you think you caught all those annoying hiccups only to find a fat, red ribbon of corrections across your words, haha!
Imaginary? No. Ghosts? Probably. Voices? More than likely. I'm sort of a private person when it comes to my past and my childhood. We had some really hard times. Some things are just better left forgotten. However, suffice it to say, I had dolls that were lifelike.
Once time, my father (who was big into Film and Horror) acquired one of those Charlie ventriloquist dolls? (Already shuddering) and he was showing it to me. Well, as a young girl I'm sure the wide eyes could've been mistaken for awe, but in reality it was extreme fear. I don't remember how, but it ended up where that night when I was in bed, the doll was there, too. I don't remember if I brought it there or if it was given to me. What I do remember was that Charlie didn't make it.
The next morning my parents woke up and Charlie's head was popped off and his stuffing was everywhere. I told them he tried to kill me.
I have been to a few, they are stupid expensive. It's a long couple days to be sitting in one spot in folding chairs. It's such a bit of work to lug tons of books and swag through elevators and back doors and parking a mile away. However, I love conventions and most times it's worth it.
Four times before I started Stitched Smile Publications and got the rights back to one so I could have it re-edited and polished to my standards.
No, never. That's like asking me not to breathe.
Indeed! My beautiful grandson Aiden to my son James and his wife Selena. He's my Mogwai!
I have one novel, two novellas, a few short stories, and another project I won't mention yet, underway.
I do them, yes. Do they work? That depends on what you mean. Do they solicit a lot of sales? Not generally but it's about the die-hard, loyal fans. We would not be where we are without them so we give back in that way.
No, not really. I have some wonderful fans and they are very respectful. I guess I'm either too scary or I put off a vibe?
Day job is watching Mogwai and Stitched Smile Publications.
Oh…there are so many voices in my head. Alter egos fight for the spotlight all the time. And since I can change moods on a good breeze, what I write depends on who's captain of the ship that day.
As for the process, I need quiet. If I don't have quiet, the voices become like static. All of them jumbled into un-discernible sounds. I hear them, I just can't make out the words. When there is quiet, they come through like a calm dictation. A friend telling another friend a story. Soft music is ok. It has to be appropriate to the mood. My vape (I quit smoking but I vape to satisfy the hand-habit) and a drink (water or coffee depending on time of day…sometimes I treat myself to tea).
I want to make the sequel to Unsaintly as soon as I get the first one shined up. The Unsaintly was created to be a series, so I'm itching to get that one out.


This is a guest post by Keri Lunt Stevens.
To break the barrier of too-little time, assess how you spend your days. Working out of a home office likely means you have other responsibilities you tend to during the day, whether they're as big as caring for your kids or as little as changing a load of laundry. While it might seem convenient to be able to have the dishwasher running while you're on hold with a client, jumping back and forth between the two could actually be costing you in time and focus.
Instead, schedule uninterrupted time for each. When you're at your computer, be at your computer. If you struggle with online distractions, use a web time-wasting tracker that limits your use of them. Depending on your operating system, try MacFreedom or StayFocused. When you're managing the house, manage the house. To stick to a schedule, consider an app that categorizes your house cleaning routine such as Home Routines. If you find yourself regularly interrupted by family matters, consider setting clear office hours so everyone knows when you are and aren't available.
Once everything has it's place, it will be easier to establish a workflow, file projects when they're completed and address mail when it's first received.
Now, do the same with your computer. Clean up your desktop by organizing shortcuts into folders and deleting old files. Decide on a consistent way to name files for easier finding in the future. For easier file collaboration, safer storage and clearer hard drives, consider switching to the cloud. Many services offer quick download speeds and customer service, and all protect against external home hazards like fire or computer theft. Unsure about the cloud's advantages and disadvantages? Spend some time researching on a storage comparison site like Top10CloudStorage before making a decision.

For those who are not following it, there is an incredibly interesting, incredibly important, and incredibly long discussion page in response to Sue's notes on the future of fundraising and funds dissemination. It's worth a read. To keep track of my own thoughts, and to draw in blog readers who don't normally visit gargantuan talk pages, I'll post large comments I make. Here's one from tonight.
…the issue as I see it is a fundamental tension between our decentralized culture and the challenges of our newfound wealth. Together, over the past few years, we have all built some extraordinary capabilities in raising funds to pursue our vision. That has given us tremendous resources to pursue free knowledge. But if we want to continue to have access to resources at that scale, we have to accept the responsibility to our donors to ensure every contribution is spent wisely and with the greatest impact. That requires a concentrated effort to analyze spending and opportunities and allocate donor funds effectively. Some system has to play that role, and some group of people has to carry out the work of that system.
Whoever plays that role — the Foundation, the Board, a new entity like the FAC, whatever — it's going to be hard and time-consuming and painful. And frankly it's not at all fun — you have to make some hard decisions, say "no" to people, and at times be very very unpopular.
But it's a role that has to be played. We cannot just ignore that responsibility to our donors for a few months or years until a Volunteer Council, Movement Roles, the FAC, or some other group is able to focus on the issue, come to agreement on a system, and then build the capability to carry it out consistently. That is why, in my role as the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, Chair of the Audit Committee, and long-term member of our community, I have pushed and will continue to push Sue and the Foundation very hard to play the assertive role it is playing now. It just has to be played. Our obligation to our donors has to be fulfilled. We have to try, and an imperfect system of grants and project plans and annual reporting is infinitely better than no system.
If you have a problem with the current system, come to me and complain. Come to the Board and complain. Do not personally attack Sue and her staff. Do not challenge their professionalism. You are completely misdirecting your frustration. Get angry at me. Get angry at the Board. Flame us, but don't flame the 90 incredibly committed, incredibly passionate believers in our cause who have chosen to devote not just themselves but their careers to our mission. We are incredibly lucky to have them in our movement, working with us to build our shared vision.
Even more appropriate, get angry at life. Get angry at the amazing impact we are having. Because what we are experiencing is a natural outgrowth of our success. It is what happens when you build something that helps a half a billion people a month. When over a million people want to support you with donations. This is what is called ironically in English a "high-class problem." For all the hand-wringing that's going on, we are incredibly fortunate to have this wealth to spend.
This tension is understandable. Our culture is decentralized. That's what attracted a lot of us to the projects in the first place. That's what made our projects so great. And as volunteers, most of us like the luxury of being able to choose exactly what we work on. But if we want to continue to have such amazing resources to pursue our cause we are going to need a system to help us allocate and monitor the use of donor funds. And that will involve a different kind of decentralization, and perhaps a different degree of decentralization, than we are used to. That's what we have to accept. Everything else – the nature of the system, who operates it — is just a detail.
So in the end I'm saying I agree 100% with Craig. We all need to accept that there has to be some system in place to make tradeoffs in a sincere effort to ensure donor funds are spent well, whether it is the Foundation, the GAC, or a new FAC, or a peer review process, or a Magic 8 ball. And we need to accept that sometimes we won't personally like the answers that come out of that system. But we still need the system.
And that brings us to this amazingly long discussion page, and to Sue Gardner. Sue and her team are making an extraordinary effort to reach out for feedback, input and help in figuring out the right answer for what this system to be. They chose to do this a month ahead of the board meeting, six weeks ahead of the Finance meeting in Paris, and three months ahead of the Chapters meeting, to ensure as much time as possible for collaborative problem-solving. I applaud what they are doing. I think those who respond to their outstretched hands by slapping them aside with a wave a rhetoric and bile are letting our entire community down. Take advantage of this opportunity. Join the discussion. Please. We need all of you and your best thinking so our community and movement can figure this out together.

A Hobson's choice is a free choice in which only one thing is offered. Because a person may refuse to accept what is offered, the two options are taking it or taking nothing. In other words, one may "take it or leave it". The phrase is said to have originated with Thomas Hobson (1544–1631), a livery stable owner in Cambridge, England, who offered customers the choice of either taking the horse in his stall nearest to the door or taking none at all.
Much of the material has been revised, updated and expanded to cover the very latest techniques. This is a new paperback version.

Why Did Judge Aaron Persky's Stanford Rape Decision Go Viral?
At the nexus of rape and race, Brock Turner's six month sentence is brutally short

How Police Still Fail Rape Victims
In Orlando, as Usual, Domestic Violence Was Ignored Red Flag
Earlier this month, after Stanford University freshman Brock Turner was found guilty of three felony counts of sexual assault, California judge Aaron Persky sentenced the swimmer to six months in jail, though he may be out in as few as three. "Absolutely shocked and appalled," was the response of one anonymous juror who delivered a scathing letter to the judge, summing up the general attitude reflected in social media. More than fifteen million people have read and shared a devastating 12-page courtroom statement read by his victim, 23-year old Emily Doe. Yesterday, the letter, in which she relentlessly detailed the immediate and long-term impacts of her assault, was read on the floor of the House of Representatives by a bipartisan group of more than 40 more members of Congress.
The circumstances of the assault, though, are hardly rare. Just last year, the trials of four ex-Vanderbilt University football players, charged with multiple counts of sexual battery and aggravated rape of an unconscious woman, barely registered in the media. In the Vanderbilt case, elements of which were caught on dormitory cameras and cell phones, witnesses saw men carrying an inert woman into a room where she was sodomized and urinated on before being thrown out into a hallway. Like the Stanford victim, the woman had no memory of the events of the night.
Stanford Rape Case Judge: I Took Brock Turner 'At His Word'
'The Social Network' at 10: Fincher, Facebook and the Faking of an Empire
12 Thrilling Facts About Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' Video
So what happened in California to propel such widespread rage and action? A public whose consciousness has been raised by several years of intense social activism responded to a perfect storm of sexual entitlement and racial privilege – a graphic nexus between the Title IX and Black Lives Matter movements. Given that these social protests overlap in their core critiques of systemic white male privilege, the fact that it's a rape case is not a coincidence but a critical inevitability. Rape, more than any other social phenomenon, clearly illustrates how intertwined racism and misogyny are in the United States.
As a perpetrator of sexual assault, Turner is unexceptional. Demographically, his is the profile of the teenager most likely to engage in sexual coercion or assault and to use alcohol to facilitate abuse. According to a study released in late 2013, one in 10 people between the ages of 14-21 report having already committed an act of sexual violence; 15% said they used alcohol as a facilitator. Eighty percent of victims were girls. Across race, ethnicity and class, the teenagers with the highest propensity to admit that they'd sexually coerced or assaulted a peer were white boys from higher-income families. In other words, rape is a perk of status.
By going to court instead of just admitting guilt, Turner rolled the dice and lost, but the odds were in distinctly in his favor. College athletes are far less likely than their non-athletic peers to face charges for criminal behavior, but far more likely to engage in sexual and illegal violence. More than 50% of male collegiate athletes report coercing partners. Male athletes are responsible for up to 19% of reported sexual assaults and 37% of intimate partner violence on college campuses, despite being just more than 3% of college populations.
Victims of sexual assault have an acute sense of these institutional biases. The Center for Public Policy and the Department of Justice estimate that 95% of college sexual assaults are not reported because victims, regardless of sex, gender or sexuality, do not have confidence that they will be believed institutionally supported. Few schools expel rapists and they routinely don't disclose the school records of people found guilty of sexual assaults if they transfer, in order to give them a second chance to start anew. Ridiculous punishments, such as book reports or "expulsion" after graduation, have, until recently, been common. Today, as the result of the work of Title IX student activists, more than 200 schools are actively under investigation for institutional failures to meet Title IX requirements.
While Persky's decision wasn't surprising, it was nonetheless an insult to the victim, essentially dismissing the life-altering effects of her assault. (In her devastating 12-page courtroom statement, she explained the impact of her assault, from swabs in her vagina and anus to a camera pointed between her legs to feelings of depression and post-traumatic stress, describing how she wanted to "take off my body like a jacket and leave it at the hospital with everything else.") As Stanford University law professor Michele Dauber, who is leading a recall effort against Persky, explained this week, the judge's decision "means that he has essentially taken campus rape out of the category of things you can go to prison for."
It's hard to imagine that if Turner wasn't white he would have received such a lenient sentence. His trial came to an end only months after that of 19-year-old Vanderbilt athlete Cory Batey, who was found guilty of aggravated rape. But Batey, who is African American, faces 15 to 25 years in prison in Tennessee. This is not just a difference in state law. Disparities like this begin as early as kindergarten and never end. Black boys are suspended from school more than three times more frequently than their white male peers. Black girls are suspended six times more frequently than white girls, experience higher rates of suspension than most boys and their sexual abuse – which affects up to 60% of black girls before they reach the age of 18 – is a primary predictor of black girls' entry into the criminal justice system.
Persky's decision was filtered through this reality. His sentence effectively told the community that Turner wasn't a "real" criminal, but a boy who drank too much, made a mistake and shouldn't be overly punished for it. All it did was reveal Turner's privilege, in this case, racial and gendered innocence. Raped by adult men, girls are frequently described as looking older than they are, in the same way that black boys, killed by the police or vigilantes, are often described as adults, to be super-human and monstrous. That monstrousness is directly linked to the myth of the black male rapist, which not only has historically meant penalization, but has been used to justify public acts of racial violence in the name of white womanhood – as recently as last year, when mass murderer Dylan Roof told his black victims, "You rape our women, and you're taking over our country," before opening fire in a Charleston church.
Another factor in the public outrage to Brock Turner's sentence was the media's initial failure to understand the inflection point. In many new outlets, Turner was portrayed as an upstanding, clean cut, bright-eyed youth. Photographs that were initially used belied descriptions of his crime and comparisons of the photos used in coverage of Turner's case with mug shots used in stories about black perpetrators flooded social media. But this, too, reflected another meaningful and common bias in coverage of gender-based violence: Stories about white perpetrators are more than twice as likely to include excuses or extenuating circumstances, such as alcohol consumption, than those involving black perpetrators.
Defaulting to alcohol to rationalize rape in a case such as this one is ironic, given that drunkenness vividly puts on display the gender inequality of which status-based sexual violence is a symptom. Unlike most men, if a woman drinks, she has to reasonably consider that she might be brutally penetrated, slapped and excreted on, nonconsensually impregnated, photographed, ridiculed or shamed. Persky seemed not to be too concerned with the societal meaning of this egregious double standard.
In a world where women are constantly being taught to avoid rape or risk being blamed for what happens to them, the judge was disinclined to send the important message that men who rape a person need to consider the very real risk of jail, regardless of blood alcohol content. Yesterday, Persky was removed from a new sexual assault case which involved a male nurse who sexually assaulted an unconscious, anesthetized woman.
In his commencement speech at Stanford last weekend, documentary filmmaker Ken Burns commended the anonymous victim for making her words and experiences public. "Maybe someday," he said, "we'll make the survivor's eloquent statement as important as Dr. (Martin Luther) King's letter from the Birmingham jail."
Until then, Turner's three-month sentence is more than 97% of rapists in America ever spend in jail.

Stock Analyst Update
Lawsuit Resolution Good News for Mobile TeleSystems
We're lowering our risk rating on this narrow-moat firm now that its parent company has settled its outstanding lawsuit.
Alex Zhao, CFA
Mentioned: Mobile TeleSystems PJSC (MBT)
Mobile TeleSystems (MBT) announced on Dec. 25 that its parent company, Sistema, has reached an agreement with Rosneft, Bashneft, and the Republic of Bashkortostan (a federal subject of Russia). Under terms of the settlement, Sistema will pay Bashneft RUB 100 billion by March 30, 2018. Because our view on MTS' business fundamentals is unchanged, we are reiterating our $11.50 fair value estimate for this narrow-moat stock but lowering our risk rating from very high to high, due to the resolution of this lawsuit that at one point affected Sistema's shares in MTS.
The settlement is consistent with our earlier belief that the lawsuit was a legal tactic for the state-owned oil company Rosneft to force Sistema to pay damages alleged by Rosneft after purchasing Bashneft in 2016. Sistema's shares in MTS were frozen in the summer of 2017 as part of the enforcement action. We think the settlement materially lowers the risk that the Russian government will become a major shareholder of MTS through the lawsuit. We also observe that, in its press release, Sistema thanked Sberbank, a state-owned bank in Russia, and the Russian Direct Investment Fund, Russia's sovereign wealth fund, for facilitating the settlement. Sberbank is a major debtholder of MTS.

ya you've already heard that one eh?
Where to start? I am 39 years old and currently living just outside of Kansas City, MO. I'm a father of 2 children (Nathaniel & Mia). I enjoy not writing bios, music, reading, design, development, following the latest Apple rumors, fishing, and spending every second I can with my family.
I've always had a love for computers, but wasn't really drawn into web design until the late 90s. I built my first website somewhere around 1998, and I've pretty much been doing it ever since.
My career officially started back in 2000 working with flash and e-commerce development at a small startup with 4 friends of mine. I held several positions as a web developer doing mainly CMS and E-Commerce programming. I did some front end development, and no design at the time. After stumbling across the CSS Zen Garden in 2005 I completely changed my focus, and began the journey towards building standards based websites using CSS/XHTML. I was impressed by what could be accomplished with CSS and the design put into the Zen Garden submissions inspired me to take a stab at it myself. I've been doing design / front end development ever since.
Music has been a major part of my life over the last 10 years. My first step into music was with the band Six Percent. I spent 6 years touring around the midwest with some of my favorite bands at the time. I've since then played in 4 other bands: The Tuesday Project, Indira, The Elizabeth Dane & my current band My Own Monroe.
I've been lucky enough to share the stage with some great bands. Most notably: The Smashing Pumpkins, Cake, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, POD, The Urge, The Living End, 2 Skinnee J's, Citizen King, Thrice, Saosin, Story of the Year, The Bled, Funeral For A Friend, Less Than Jake, Hot Water Music, Uncle Cracker, Dogstar (featuring Keanu Reeves), Papa Roach, My Chemical Romance, Unearth, Demon Hunter, Dead Poetic, Senses Fail, Esoteric & Static X.
