UPDATE: Stew Sez Showtime's now 9:30 p.m.
Photo from Stew's Facebook announcement of the upcoming gig at Barbès.
There was a moment or two of confusion Thursday morning when Stew,the singer-songwriter and Tony winner for the book of Passing Strange posted on Facebook that he and his band, The Negro Problem, would be appearing two weeks from now at "our beloved Barbès" and included the date of Oct. 25.

Well, fans of Stew's work won't have to wait that long. Maybe Stew is just jonesing for Fall. But according to the Barbès calendar, it's Thursday, July 25, at 10 p.m., which is in two weeks.
Whew. Glad I could clear that up.
Stew posted a Facebook update on Friday, July 19, saying showtime was changed to 9:30. So I'm getting there by 9 just to be on the safe side:
showtime for stew & the negro problem's BARBES show this THURSDAY JULY 25th is now 9:30. We will play some songs inspired by recent events.

Colman Domingo puts 'Soul' back into the Vineyard Theatre (updated with discount code to see 'Wild With Happy' for just $25)
Colman Domingo
Tickets on sale now for this one-time event
If you haven't seen Colman Domingo's wonderful "A Boy and His Soul," which was such a treat at the Vineyard Theatre a few years back, you'll get another chance to check it out in January.
Tickets are on sale now for a one-night-only reading of Colman's one-man (but multi-character) show.
You probably know him from "Passing Strange," on Broadway or at the Public Theater. And maybe even from "The Scottsboro Boys" at the Vineyard or, briefly, on Broadway.
And I certainly hope you're seeing the play he wrote and stars in at the Public Theater through Nov. 18, "Wild With Happy."
UPDATE: See "Wild With Happy for just $25. Use the code STORM by calling (212) 967-7555 (daily noon-8pm), or visiting the Public Theater Box Office at 425 Lafayette Street (Sun & Mon 1-6pm; Tue-Sat 1-7:30pm) or by clicking here.
"A Boy and His Soul" tells a slice of Colman's life story using his record collection (yes, remember records?) to lead the audience through. It will help bring "Wild" into sharper focus.
Colman's a major talent, brimming with life, love and emotion.
James Earl Jones told Colman that "Wild" was "miraculous." I couldn't agree more. And "A Boy and His Soul" is just as miraculous. If you loved "Wild," then "Boy" will flesh out Colman's story for you. Yes, it's theater. Yes, it's fiction. But the underpinnings of both shows are first-rate, true-blue Colman.
"A Boy and His Soul," a reading and pre-show toast. 7 p.m., Monday, Jan. 7, 2013. Vineyard Theatre, 108 E. 15th Street (Union Square East/Irving Place) in Manhattan. Call (212) 353-0303 or click here for tickets. $75.

Tony Award nominations announced
Posted on May 1, 2012 | Leave a comment
Read the full list of Tony nominees on the official tonys site. Click here
The 66th annual Tony Award nominations are out this morning, with a movie remake, Once, topping the list. But another film takeoff, the just-opened Leap of Faith, also got one in the Best Musical category.
There's lots of other news to report, including the snubbing of big stars Bernadette Peters and Ricky Martin and the revamped Spider-Man, but we'll leave that to other reports.
The full list is here.
New York Daily News theater critic Joe Dziemianowicz's report is here.
New York Times ArtsBeat blog report here.
Billboard's take here.
Playbill.com offers coverage here and reaction here.
We told you Condola Rashad was great! Now the Tony Awards panel backs us up by nominating her as best featured actor in a play

The Alicia Keys-produced play Stick Fly hung on at Broadway's Cort Theatre for just 93 performances last winter. The play may have fallen a bit flat, despite every promotional effort. But one member of the cast made a big impression that has lasted well beyond that last performance on Feb. 26.
Condola Rashad (yes, the daughter of The Cosby Show alum Phylicia Rashad and former NFL wide receiver Ahmad Rashad) was that show's secret weapon, as Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone? told you back in December.
On Tuesday morning, she was nominated as Best Featured Actor in a Play.
So she's crossed the first hurdle. The Tony nominators have joined with WYMMWIG? in recognizing this young superstar. Now, Tony judges, it's time to vote for her and give her the award she earned and so richly deserved.
Her reaction was sweet and humble, as you'd expect from the sassy-smart young actress. She took to Twitter to tell her fans:
Funny fact about Condola: She never watched The Cosby Show when she was growing up. "I was on the set!" she says in this interview with The Associated Press:

Daniel Breaker and special guests played Joe's Pub

Broadway star spices up his elegant cabaret set with help from fab up-and-comer Jo Lampert and Broadway vet Morgan James
The inimitable Daniel Breaker at Joe's Pub.
We're hoping Daniel Breaker is going to be a regular on the Joe's Pub stage. His performance there Sunday night, April 22 — his second cabaret show there — showcase the winning singer/actor even better than the first. He seemed more comfortable in his role as a front man, and less like an actor putting on a show.
Jo Lampert kills it at Joe's Pub, with drummer Christian Cassan in the background.
With the help of a dozen or so musical compatriots — including drummer Christian Cassan and music director/guitarist Jon Spurney from his time in the hit musical "Passing Strange" — Breaker put on a great show.
He sang original and classic cabaret numbers, and even dipped into rock with Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," charming the crowd all evening.
Breaker's special guest vocalists once again gave him a run for his money. In Breaker's last show at Joe's, guest Condola Rashad threatened to steal the spotlight altogether with her amazing power and charming stage persona.
Breaker clearly didn't feel threatened. He chose equally intense guests for this show. Jo Lampert, who not long ago was a production assistant at Joe's Pub and who was involved in the Public Theater's incarnation of "Passing Strange," blew the doors off with her rendition of Beyonce's "Halo," and also filled in superbly on backing vocals.
Morgan James, currently in the cast of "Godspell" on Broadway, at Joe's Pub.
Morgan James, who's in the ensemble with "Godspell" on Broadway, also did a great job.
Kelvin Dinkins Jr. and William Jackson Harper (a must-see in our book after his amazing work "The Total Bent" at the Public Theater) helped out on backing vocals.

New World Stages responds to talk that The Scottsboro Boys will make a New York comeback there

'No conversations' about staging the Kander and Ebb musical, says NWS managing director
When we reported the news that one of the producers of The Scottsboro Boys publicly proclaimed the show was returning soon to an NYC stage, Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone? offered it with a grain of salt.
It's a good thing, because the the people at New World Stages, the house specifically named by the producer, are denying shooting down the idea — at least for now.
Michael Coco, NWS managing director, got back to us with this response:
Currently, all five theaters at NWS are filled with successful productions all with open ended contracts. We do not anticipate any changes in our programming in the near future.
We followed up with Coco on this to clarify further. Continue reading →

BREAKING NEWS: New World Stages reacts. Click HERE.
UPDATED: An earlier version of this post conflated the Broadway show where this news was overheard with the source's current Broadway credits. This update clarifies the source's credits and reflects that Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone? has now reached out to New World Stages and the producer for comment.
Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone? has heard an interesting bit of theater gossip. We're not generally given to reporting gossip, but the source of this one seems impeccable.
At intermission during the matinee performance of Leap of Faith on Broadway Saturday, April 7, a man greeted some friends near the bar. We couldn't help but hear him reveal to his friend that he's a Broadway producer. We didn't immediately recognize him, but he mentioned that he's producing Clybourne Park, a straight play now on Broadway, as well as a current Broadway musical comedy.
As the conversation went on, the subject of the short-lived Kander and Ebb musical The Scottsboro Boys,came up. It turns out the guy also was a producer of that provocative, somewhat unsettling minstrel-style musical about an infamous racist incident involving accusations of rape by a white girl against nine black teenage boys in 1931.
"It's coming back, soon, to New World Stages," he said with obvious pride. Lately, New World is where Broadway shows that, for one reason or another are no longer viable in a Broadway house, take on new life. Rent was revived there, Avenue Q and Million Dollar Quartet live on there. And soon, it seems, The Scottsboro Boys will find new life there, too.
We didn't recognize the producer who was doing all the talking. T-+here are only one or two producers whose images who are seared in our memory, including Elizabeth McCann and Steve Klein, both of whom were involved with Passing Strange. But a few minutes of research on IBDB.com and Google Images helped us figure out that the guy was, indeed, a producer of the shows in question. So we're guessing he knows what he's talking about.
Scottsboro got good reviews in its off-Broadway run at the Vineyard Theatre. (Full disclosure: Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone? is friend and huge fan of Colman Domingo, one of its stars.) It took us a bit of time to get past our feeling that it was somehow wrong to laugh at such a serious true story from the sad history of race relations in the United States. But once we set that aside and got into the spirit of the show, we really enjoyed it. But others in our audience, including a black couple we encountered nearby after the show, left feeling more uncomfortable than entertained.
The show fell flat when it moved to Broadway, running for just 29 previews and 49 regular performances in the fall of 2010. The feelings of discomfort dogged it from the beginning of its run, and the show drew protesters who claimed it was racist. It also earned 12 Tony Award nominations and gained some rabid fans who continue to beat the drum for its return.
The Scottsboro Boys hasn't disappeared. It got an extended run in Philadelphia earlier this year, and is set to begin performances April 29 at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, Calif. And it's scheduled to play at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco starting June 21.

Suzanne Vega channels Carson McCullers: Just three chances left to see it

From the moment I heard that Suzanne Vega was writing a musical, I was determined to see it. The subject didn't matter much, actually.
Suzanne and her music were a big part of my musically formative years. She fell off my radar over the last decade or so, but she and her classic songs like "Luka" and "Small Blue Thing" are always lurking in the back of my mind.
It turns out she chose a fascinating subject for the show: Southern Gothic novelist Carson McCullers. Despite her Southern roots, McCullers spent much of her life in New York City and the suburbs, living from 1945 until her death in 1967 in a house on South Broadway in South Nyack, N.Y. She's buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, just a mile or so northwest of her home.
McCullers wrote The Heart is a Lonely Hunter and many other works that you might have been required to read in school. But just because you had to read them doesn't mean they're not great, entertaining works.
Vega has talked widely about how connected she feels to the novelist she brings to life onstage.Check out what she had to say about McCullers in The New York Times.

Then when I found it was playing off-Broadway this spring and that Duncan Sheik, who was responsible for the stunning Spring Awakening, was partnering with her on the music, I was hooked. (It's funny, back when Spring Awakening was on Broadway, I went to see Sheik in concert and was left rather disappointed. I guess he's more to my taste as a show composer. His pop performance of his personal songs, like his overexposed "Barely Breathing" left me cold. But I'll have a chance to reconsider next Wednesday, June 8, when he plays the Highline Ballroom.)
And then my schedule started filling up. I kept meaning to get tickets. And I kept getting distracted — and now time's almost up.

SELL YOUR USED PORSCHE CAR!
Established in 1931, Porsche is one of the leading car companies in the world with its headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. Ferdinand Porsche, founder of Porsche Cars was the world-famous car designer and an engineer. In the year 1934, Porsche received an order from the German government to develop the car, and Porsche introduced the first prototype of 'People's Car' which later became world-famous under the name of VW Beetle.
Porsche is known for its luxurious and class-leading SUVs, sedan and sports cars. A part of the Volkswagen Group, some of the most popular models of Porsche includes Porsche 911 Turbo, Porsche Carrera, and Porsche 918. Since 2004, Porsche has opened its doors for the Indian consumers and has been growing its market from thereupon. In India, a new Porsche is highly expensive to own because of which Porsche used cars or Porsche second-hand cars attract traction from its die-hard fans who cannot afford the new ones.
Porsche brand car models are the most widely recognized cars because of their survival nature. Two-third of the Porsche car 'monikers' still survive, and some of them are operational too.
In the last 50 years, Porsche sports cars have achieved 28,000 victories in different car racing tournaments.
Porsche car feature some extraordinary elements such as out-of-the-box sporty design and air-channeling roof spoiler with a typical feature of the continuous light strip.
The brand showcases exemplary driving characteristics, thoroughbred performance, engineering excellence, attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship.
Porsche Cayenne SUV is one of the most successful models of brand Porsche across the globe.
Porsche is a famed sports car brand loved by all performance was driven enthusiast across the globe. With the implementation of the new and eccentric features, the value of the car is increasing many folds in recent years. Due to which, the Porsche car second-hand price has also been affected. The market value of old models decreases immediately after the brand launches a new model. The brand is always in demand for its luxury and Porsche mystique - what it feels like to drive and own one is something that people cherish.
Also, the rate of selling used Porsche cars in India is high. Statistics have concluded that people sell Porsche pre-owned cars in a minimum of three to four years. The resale value goes down with the increasing craze for the Porsche brand cars among enthusiast. The minimum resale value for a used Porsche may fall around Rs 15-25 Lakh. This price is convenient for the seller as it's just one-third of the price of high-grade new Porsche car. Hence if you are the owner you can sell Porsche car and get a decent resale value.
Porsche 718 Boxster & Porsche 718 Cayman: The entry-level mid-engine roadster and sports coupe available as 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman gets petrol fuel choice.

The market of Porsche used cars in India has also brought great opportunities for speed car lovers. The current scenario of Porsche cars is rapidly on hype, thereby all the models can be seen on Indian roads.
Porsche – What Makes It Unique?
The aim of the brand is to showcase high-level engineering of its cars. Mechanical ability of Porsche cars is flawless and they can take the real beating; every Porsche car is built with a racetrack degree. It uses its experience and expertise to make high-quality and unmatchable vehicles to compete in the market.
The most adorable unique feature about the brand is the customer experience. Its brand loyalty is the highest in the industry. No doubt that the brand has already satisfied the customer with its products but when it comes to customer service, this brand holds one of the top positions.
The used car market in India is flourishing and when it comes to the quest for high-performance luxury cars it's much more compared to the mass segment cars. If you are also a proud owner of this luxury brand and want to sell used Porsche car in order to upgrade to a newer model, the time cannot be better than this.
Although, Porsche high-speed cars are meant to bestow you with amazing performance and luxury. And their continuous use on the racing track or expressways results in bettering of their performance and maintenance of engine, which is best possible under foreign conditions due to infra availability. However, under the backdrop of Indian conditions, as there is always a restricted use of these cars, thanks to bad road conditions and lack of infra the valuation deter quite fast that calls for a switch to a newer car.
Porsche has unique engineering concept and uses CAD to develop the design of the automobiles. A small prototype is introduced in the market which excites the car lovers. Most high-net-worth individuals wait for the car launch, especially in India where only limited models are imported and hence waiting for the new model is indeed very fascinating. Porsche car second-hand price decreases abruptly after the introduction of the new model or after the end of the valuation period of the car. And in the market today there is no Porsche used car showroom where you can sell your car or buy one. Hence the leading car selling platform CARS24 can prove fruitful to the owners interested in selling their Porsche.
So if you want to sell second hand Porsche car and strike the best deal, the online car selling platform CARS24 can help you attain your goal.

1. Free food: Are you one of those food junkies who walks around town looking for a free eat? Well, you're in luck -- cults provide an endless source of free food to all who join. Of course, everything in the cult is "free" already -- mostly because "money" and being "paid" for your "work" is of the "devil". If you don't like that, the leader will make sure to put you into hell for your blasphemy.
2. Hot women: In a cult, you will find a never-ending source of naive girls and young women that are potential dating opportunities. Of course, all of the good ones have already had at least 3 kids courtesy of "the leader" -- and most of the rest are either married to his lieutenants or promised to the god Zeus. However, you could still find some easy picking among the leftovers -- like the fat girl with a small mustache. Remember -- facial hair makes a person look distinguished.
3. Lots of exercise: In cults, they don't believe in the sissy western lifestyle where member sit on their arses in front of a computer all day. They believe in hard work and discipline -- mostly while the leader makes out with his "spiritual wives" in the next room over. In any case, you can be assured that you will work so hard and in such high heat that the fat (and for that matter your skin) will melt right off.
4. Physical and emotional pain: If you're one of those weirdos that likes to get hit so that they can get excited sexually, you're in luck. A cult will provide literally dozens of opportunities per day for members to be hit, slapped, beaten, and possibly sexually assaulted by the cult organizers. For just the price of constant work and your first-born son, you can be spat upon and made to feel lower than Satan's toilet. Sounds like a great deal, huh?
5. Salvation from eternal hell: Of course, the ultimate benefit and the reason why cults exist is to save their members from an eternal hell. Remember: however badly you get hurt in the cult, God is going to kick your arse twice as hard when you get to heaven.
This is an underblogged topic, for sure.
to be very pleased with.
this loan is its fast acceptance and transfer.

UBC MBA up 25 places in Financial Times Global MBA Ranking
Jan 28, 2013 | For more information, contact
Up 25 places over its 2012 ranking, the MBA at the University of British Columbia ranks 57th among the world's top 100 MBA programs in the 2013 Financial Times Global MBA Ranking, published today. Now ranked third among Canadian schools, the UBC MBA, offered by the Robert H. Lee Graduate School at the Sauder School of Business, experienced the second largest increase in the ranking overall.
"In such a highly competitive environment, we are very pleased with this strong increase in our rank among the world's top business schools," said Robert Helsley, Dean of the Sauder School of Business. "While only one measure of a school's success, the ranking reflects our alumni's strong career growth, the global reach and diversity of our MBA program, and the strength of our faculty members as leaders in business research."
The ranking revealed a marked increase in the average salary of UBC MBA alumni three years after graduation, showing a 12 per cent boost over the average salary reported in 2012.
The Sauder School of Business leads Canadian schools in ranking categories for "international mobility" (27th), measuring the success of students in securing international positions, and "career progress" (56th), focused on the ability of grads to improve their seniority in the workplace.
Another notable improvement came in the category of "international course experience," where the UBC MBA program moved up 43 places to rank 29th in the world. An assessment of international exposure through exchanges, research projects, study tours and global internships, the increase in this category reflects the rich international experiences offered in the UBC MBA.
"Our students move up faster and travel farther," says Murali Chandrashekaran, Associate Dean, Professional Graduate Programs at Sauder's Robert H. Lee Graduate School. "This is a result of our ongoing improvements in career services and emphasis on global experience and diversity. We are giving our students an international canvas on which to learn and work to provide them with the skills and opportunities they need to make a global impact."
Out of all ranking categories, Sauder placed highest for its academic strength. The school's research rank improved from 20th to 15th in the world based on research productivity in top journals. The doctoral program continues to be among the world's best, ranking 21st globally.
"We are proud of the global impact of our MBA program, the international reputation of our school, the commitment of our faculty and staff members, and the achievements of our students and alumni," says Dean Helsley. "It is heartening to see our continued efforts and the value and quality of our MBA program reflected in this influential ranking."

Russia Searching for Momentum Ahead of the World Cup
Robert Gallagher 27th April 2018 27th June 2018 News, Off Topic
The build up to the 2018 World Cup continues this week as the competing nations prepare themselves for the biggest tournament on the planet. This week, hosts Russia aim to build some momentum ahead of the event as they play Turkey in a friendly match at the Luzhniki Stadium on Tuesday night.
This match may be labelled officially as a friendly game but for the Russian players, it means much more than that as they look to give their fans some confidence ahead of the World Cup. Turkey are using this game to prepare for the upcoming UEFA Nations League and Euro 2020 qualifying campaign.
Russia Form
Russia have been forced to play a number of friendly matches in the build up to the 2018 World Cup as they are hosting the tournament. However, form has not been good in recent games and Russia have failed to win any of their last 6 friendly matches.
Following the 1-1 draw with Iran back in October 2017, Russia have lost to Argentina, Brazil, France and Austria. The only positive result of any note was the 3-3 draw at home with Spain but that was back in November.
Since then, Russia have lost at home to Brazil and France plus suffered a 1-0 reverse in Austria. Other than the match against Spain, scoring goals has been a problem for Russia and they have found the back of the net just once in their last 3 games.
Turkey Form
Turkey were drawn in a tough World Cup qualifying group and finished in fourth place behind Iceland, Croatia and Ukraine. The 3-0 home defeat against Iceland towards the end of the campaign was a killer blow and Turkey ended the group with a 2-2 draw in Finland.
Since then, Turkey have played 6 friendly games, losing the first two against Romania and Albania but have come into a bit of form in recent matches.
In their last 4 friendly games, Turkey have defeated Republic of Ireland and Iran plus finished level with Montenegro and Tunisia. Therefore, Turkey will be coming in to this match feeling a little better about themselves and the team is in better form.
In contrast to their opponents, Turkey have been scoring goals and have netted twice in each of their last 3 games.
Russia will look to freshen things up following the defeat against Austria and that could mean starts for Alan Dzagoev, Denis Cheryshev and Artem Dzyuba. However, this is Stanislav Cherchesov's last chance to settle on his starting XI for the World Cup.
Turkey could also make some changes following their last match against Tunisia and Yunus Malli, Oguzhan Ozyakup and Berkay Ozcan could all come into the starting XI.
Top Betting Tips
This is the final chance for Russia to get back to winning ways before the start of the World Cup but Turkey are in decent form coming into this match. It would be a surprise to see Russia go down in the match ahead of the tournament but they are struggling to win matches. The draw is available at 2/1 with Betbright.
Turkey have been scoring goals in recent games and will be aiming to keep up their good attacking play. Therefore, if Russia are to get something from the game they will most likely need to score themselves. The draw and both teams to score is 18/5 at William Hill. For more sites follow this link.
If Russia are to score, the goal is most likely to come from striker, Fyodor Smolov. The Krasnodar man appears to be first choice in attack and can be backed at 7/2 with Ladbrokes to get the first goal of the match. The UK's Best Free Bet Offers you can find here.

Biden will announce the primary cupboard election on Tuesday: Chief of Workers
US President-elect Joe Biden takes off his face mask as he meets with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Chairman Chuck Schumer (D-NY) at his interim headquarters at the Queen's Theater in Wilmington, Delaware , USA, hits November 20, 2020.

President-elect Joe Biden will announce the cabinet appointment on Tuesday, the new White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain confirmed on Sunday.
"If you want to know which Cabinet Agencies they are and who will be in those Cabinet Agencies, you have to wait for the President-elect to say so himself on Tuesday," Klain said in an interview with ABC News.
The president-elect already announced the members of his coronavirus task force before naming senior White House officials. Last week, Biden said he had decided who to nominate for Treasury Secretary and make the Thanksgiving announcement.
Potential candidates for Secretary of the Treasury include economist Lael Brainard, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, and Janet Yellen, former Federal Reserve chairman. Both would be the first woman to serve in the role. Roger Ferguson, the CEO of TIAA and another top contender, would be the first black to hold the office.
Biden said the Treasury Department's election would be "accepted by all elements of the Democratic Party," although the former vice president's personnel decisions are likely to be criticized as he weighs demands from the party's progressive base and a potentially split Senate.
Jennifer Psaki, a senior adviser to the Biden transition team, said in a CNN interview on Sunday that the president-elect "wants a variety of votes at the table."
When asked if the Biden cabinet will have more progressive members than President Barack Obama's first cabinet, Psaki said Biden's team will "look like America" in terms of diversity and background.
Biden's move to announce cabinet decisions and advance the presidential transition comes as President Donald Trump still refuses to vote in the November 3 election, even after the legal challenges of the Trump campaign were put down in Pennsylvania on Saturday night.
The General Services Administration has yet to determine Biden's victory, effectively preventing Biden's team from receiving government resources that are normally dedicated to the president's transition, such as: B. Information and distribution schedule for a coronavirus vaccine.
Klain said Trump's allegations of electoral fraud and litigation during the race were "caustic" and "harmful" but stressed that his actions would not change the election result. However, he said it blocked Biden's ability to build a new government and get background information on cabinet candidates.
"Our transition will not have access to agency officials to help develop our plans and there will be a lot of emphasis on this vaccine rollout plan which will be critical in the early days of a Biden presidency," said Klain. "We don't have access to it … We are unable to get any background information about cabinet candidates."
"There is a clear impact," added Klain. "These effects are escalating every day and I hope the GSA administrator will get the job done."

Detail from the cover of William Petersen's Japanese Americans: Oppression and Success (1971).
To some, it may be unclear how a piece criticizing Clinton supporters wound up discussing Asian Americans and the recent brutal attack on United Airlines passenger David Dao. But there is a logic to Sullivan's screed.
According to Sullivan, Clinton should not have lost the recent election because she had a lot stacked in her favor. But lose she did, partly because of her own smugness and a poorly orchestrated campaign. This resulted in the election of Donald Trump, who is dangerously incompetent. The refusal of Clinton supporters to see her as culpable in her loss is related to an insistence on (her) victimhood, which is part of a bigger problem: What Sullivan sees as a perverse focus on victimhood by non-white people of all genders and white women feminists. This fixation on victimhood has dire consequences for society.
Here is where Dao comes in. As another example of victimhood discourse, Sullivan furnishes the claim that Dao was brutalized on behalf of United Airlines due to racism: "That no federal cops were involved and there is no actual evidence at all of police harassment of Asian-Americans is irrelevant — it's all racism, all the time, everywhere in everything." To Sullivan, Dao being associated with a victimhood narrative is concerning because Asian Americans usually do not see themselves as victims, but rather possess the qualities of a self-reliant racial minority group.
As many on social media have noted, Sullivan recycles tired tropes about Asian Americans as a model minority. Addressing his query about Asian American success to the "'social justice' brigade," he asks, "It couldn't possibly be that they maintained solid two-parent family structures, had social networks that looked after one another, placed enormous emphasis on education and hard work, and thereby turned false, negative stereotypes into true, positive ones, could it?" While Sullivan does not explicitly name African Americans as a comparison group, the racist subtext was clear enough.
Some on social media expressed shock that Sullivan's racist rant could appear in a reputable publication in 2017. Others lamented its unscholarly nature. As a sociologist who has researched, written about, and taught classes on Asian American experiences for almost two decades, I have become intrigued by these types of responses. While the racism of such writing should be challenged, some of the reactions suggest that the model minority myth is exceptional in its racism and seemingly divorced from scholarly or scientific work on racial inequality. More broadly, I have become curious as to how people historicize and conceptualize the model minority myth as an ideological device.
When criticizing the model minority myth, many point to the 1960s Civil Rights Era as the period of its emergence and emphasize two publications in particular: William Petersen's New York Times Sunday Magazine article "Success Story, Japanese-American Style" and U.S. News & World Report's "Success Story of One Minority Group in U.S," written by an anonymous author. It's understandable why some connect Sullivan's commentary to this time period, as he replicates the logic of these two articles, both published in 1966. Sullivan, Petersen, and U.S. News & World Report all assert that racial minority groups may overcome racism through personal responsibility and self-reliance, and castigate those they claim are too preoccupied with victimhood.
In critiques of the myth, Petersen's article is often credited with coining the term "model minority." But the phrase never appears there. Instead, Petersen discusses those he labels "problem minorities" — groups whose success is impeded by "social pathology." According to Petersen, African Americans are the prototypical problem minority. Challenging the logic of straight-line assimilation models, which pose ethnic retention as a roadblock to social mobility, Japanese Americans are a success story because they have valuable culture and retain it. In short, according to the model minority myth, Black people have bad culture and Asian people have good culture.
Like those who challenge the anti-Black subtext of Sullivan's commentary, people rightfully condemn Petersen and others who juxtapose African Americans and Asian Americans in this way. However, not mentioned by many critics is that Petersen was an established sociologist of migration who was commissioned by the NYT. Also frequently overlooked is the fact that Petersen went on to write the 1971 book Japanese Americans: Oppression and Success, for a series focused on ethnic groups. As a White man, he wrote a book about an ethnic group of which he was not a part, which was not the norm for the series. The reason why I think these points are significant is not because it makes the model minority myth more credible, but because it troubles the notion that pronouncements such as Sullivan's are divorced from, or devoid of, mainstream and academically accepted discourse. It also requires us to look beyond "clickbait," and mainstream media, which, as many model minority myth critics note, circulated Asian American success stories for decades following the 1960s. If we look more closely at how Petersen structured his argument regarding Japanese Americans as model minorities, we can better situate the problem represented by Sullivan's commentary within the larger, overlapping spheres of academia, mass media, and punditry.
Wanting to sociologically identify what gave Japanese Americans "the strength to thrive on adversity," Petersen eventually concludes that ethnic pride is the primary reason that "within a decade or two after the degrading and debilitating internment in camps," Japanese Americans rose "above even prejudiced criticism." Petersen's emphasis on ethnic pride, and what we can also understand as "shame," is a central feature of the model minority myth that is not addressed enough by critics. But it is key to identifying how "victimhood discourse" is sociologically constructed, and also helps reveal how Sullivan's logic is pervasive and consistent with academic arguments.
While Petersen and U.S. News & World Report castigated Black protest and African American civil rights organizing during the 1960s as expressions of victimhood, Sullivan chastises those he labels the "'social-justice' brigade." More can be said about how this umbrella term flattens the racial and class inequality among the multiracial group he targets with coded, anti-Black rhetoric; and about how this relates to problems with Democratic Party strategy and policy. Whatever the case, despite their commentaries about the politics of the day, the model minority myth reproduced by Petersen, U.S. News & World Report, and Sullivan is not just about targeting the Civil Rights Movement. Indeed, the model minority myth, as a sociological construction, does not require Black protest as a target.
Let me explain my last point, as it goes against a basic premise of one of the most widely circulated critiques of the model minority myth. If we think about the timeline of the model minority myth presented by many of its critics, the idea reportedly emerges in the 1960s so as to target Black protest. One problem with this timeline and its over-emphasis on the model minority myth's relation to the Civil Rights Movement is that it is just too convenient. And by too convenient, I mean it ignores how the model minority myth has a much longer history as a sociological framework and ideological device. Understanding this is necessary to recognize how, unfortunately, claims like Sullivan's are, to use a term gaining more traction, normalized.
Rethinking the timeline also helps us better see how the model minority myth functions. Returning to Petersen's work on Japanese Americans, in his 1971 book he draws from sociological studies published before WWII. Some of these studies distanced themselves from that period's overtly white supremacist calls for the sterilization or deportation of Japanese Americans, and instead, as Paul R. Spickard and Blackie Najima note, depict them "as a homogeneous group of well-behaved, quiet strivers." The emphasis on good behavior is what bridges the model minority myth with criminology and deviance scholarship. Indeed, to develop his "problem minority" concept, Petersen drew from studies investigating racial segregation and its relationship to deviance and crime. As I've said before, the model minority myth is a discourse of policing, suggesting some groups can purportedly "self-police," while others "require" state control.
By underplaying the ways that ethnic pride and victimhood are articulated in relation to each other, we can miss how mainstream and normative Sullivan's commentary is, or the social scientific underpinnings of his claims. While he does not cite data or conduct original research, Sullivan makes arguments that are academically mainstream, appear in scholarly, peer-reviewed publications, and are commonly taught in college classes. The logic of the model minority myth as expressed by Hayner, Petersen, U.S. News & World Report, and Sullivan, can be found in range of scholarship and social policies that do not tend to elicit the multiracial outrage that met Sullivan's article. For example, the anti-Black claims about ethnic pride, embeddedness, moral codes, and social organization that are part of the model minority myth inform segmented assimilation theory, the "acting white" thesis and its juxtaposition of "involuntary minorities" versus "voluntary minorities," the debate between William Julius Wilson and Douglas S. Massey and Nancy A. Denton over what is the "real" source of a presumed "Black culture of poverty," and stereotype threat theory. These theories and studies widely circulate and are published, without enough resistance, among the fields of Sociology, Psychology, Urban Studies, Criminology, Education, Family Studies, and Poverty Studies. They also shape social policy and public debate.
In short, the anti-Black logic of the model minority myth is not simply about targeting African Americans who publicly denounce racism, protest, or organize. It is about claiming to care about racism, the social mobility of non-white groups, and ethnic pride while depicting African Americans as uncultured, immoral, having no pride or shame, and un-evolved and thus personally responsible for their suffering as a racial group. The model minority myth is the claim that we can explain the racial gaps in poverty, wealth, criminalization, incarceration, and social mobility by referring solely to culture and family values, regardless of whose status is being examined. The problem is not just the assumption that some groups have good culture and others don't, it is the suggestion that culture and pride are the key explanations for vast differences in power and resources among racial groups.
Andrew Sullivan's writing is a problem, on so many levels. It must be opposed. And yet it is unexceptional in its racism as its logic is pervasive, has scholarly underpinnings, and often treated as legitimate when it appears elsewhere.

Q: Is there a way I can make my football shot map interactive using plotly/widgets or something else? I have created a shot map using matplotlib, it is currently not interactive and just a static image of all the shots a player has taken (goal, blocked, saved, missed)
The code I used as reference to create the pitch map can be found here: https://fcpython.com/visualisation/drawing-pitchmap-adding-lines-circles-matplotlib

Below is the python code used to plot the shot map:
# Plotting Shots Horizontal Full Pitch

draw_pitch("#3E3E40","#faf0e6","horizontal","full")

x = df_salah['XM'].tolist()
y = df_salah['YM'].tolist()
y1 = [68 - i for i in y]

## Add Z variable for xG
z = df_salah['xG'].tolist()
z1 = [500 * i for i in z] # This is to scale the "xG" values for plotting

## Add small legend in the bottom corner
mSize = [0.05,0.10,0.2,0.4,0.6,1]
mSizeS = [500 * i for i in mSize]
mx = [5.5,7,9,11,13.5,16.5]
my = [60,60,60,60,60,60]

colors = {'Goal':'Green', 'MissedShots':'Purple', 'BlockedShot':'Red', 'SavedShot':'Blue', 'ShotOnPost':'Yellow'}
## markers = {'Goal':'Star', 'MissedShots':'X', 'BlockedShot':'O', 'SavedShot':'V', 'ShotOnPost':'S'}

plt.text(11,55,"xG", color="white", ha="center",va="center", zorder=zo, fontsize=16)
plt.scatter(x,y,s=z1, marker='o',color=df_salah['result'].map(colors),edgecolors="black", zorder=zo)
plt.scatter(mx,my,s=mSizeS,facecolors="white", edgecolor="white",zorder=zo)
plt.plot([5.5,17], [57,57],color="white",lw=2,zorder=zo)

i = 0

for i in range(len(mx)):
    plt.text(mx[i], my[i], mSize[i], fontsize=mSize[i]*18, color="#195905", zorder=zo,ha="center", va="center")

## Title
plt.title("Mohamed Salah Shots 19/20 Season")

plt.show()

What I want to do is make this interactive by adding filters (widgets) so I can filter for type of shot taken so the map only reveals that particular type of shot on the map e.g. If I filter for "goals" then the map should show only shots that lead to a goal, etc.
I also want to add the "hover" feature from plotly where if you hover over the shot it will tell you the "xG" value, time of shot etc.
When using plotly, how do I keep the pitch map as I can't figure that out. I tried the following which resulted in:
trace1 = px.scatter(df_salah, x='XM', y='YM', color='result')
fig = go.FigureWidget(trace1)

Plotly Test
I also want to keep the scaling of of the circles
Could someone help start me off with the code as I am a bit lost on how to do this or if I'm even using the correct libraries/platform?

A: There are several issues you want to achieve, but you want to use plotly to apply your pitch first, so I will answer only that. As you can see in the official reference, you can use the PIL library to display a background image.

*

*Save the image using the library you showed. (The code you showed has parameters, but the library doesn't have that feature.

*Add a plotly background image with fig.add_layout_image().
This will accomplish the basic functionality, but you will need to make some adjustments, such as calculating the off-pitch margins and modifying the graph size.

fig=plt.figure(figsize=(15, 10.38), dpi=100, facecolor='#3E3E40')
...
plt.savefig('plotly_add_pitch.png', format='png', bbox_inches='tight', pad_inches=0)

import plotly
import plotly.graph_objects as go
from PIL import Image

img = Image.open('./plotly_add_pitch.png')
fig = go.Figure()

fig.add_trace(
    go.Scatter(x=[0, 110, 112, 114, 115, 130],
               y=[0, 65, 55, 49, 53, 90],
                mode='markers',
                marker=dict(size=15,
                color='red'),
               name='Salah'
))

# axis hide、yaxis reversed
fig.update_layout(
    autosize=False,
    width=1163,
    height=783,
    xaxis=dict(visible=True,autorange=True),
    yaxis=dict(visible=True,autorange='reversed')
)

# background image add
fig.add_layout_image(
    dict(source=img,
         xref='x',
         yref='y',
         x=0,
         y=0,
         sizex=135,
         sizey=95,
         sizing='stretch',
         opacity=0.9,
         layer='below')
)

# Set templates
fig.update_layout(template="plotly_white")

fig.show()

The X and Y axes are shown, but you should change them to visible=False in practice.

Summary: I. The first trial flight of the airship R36 at Inchinnan, 1st April 1921. II. The first trial flight of the airship R38 (also known by its American designation ZR2) at Cardington, from 9pm 23rd June to 6am 24th June 1921.
Description: The R36 is nose-forward in its shed. Workers turn a large capstan to wind back the doors of the shed and the airship is towed out. It is clearly marked as R36 and as G-FAAF. It takes off from its launching field, and overflies both the camera and its own shed, quite quickly. It comes in to land, stops all engines and sinks down. After being secured it is taken back to its shed by its groundcrew, which includes a number of women workers. A portrait shot of Mr C Campbell, the R38's designer, in front of the airship in its shed. Air Commodore Edward C Maitland, the RAF airship base commander, talks with Air Commodore Henry Brooke-Popham, the Director of Research at the Air Ministry. They are joined by other officers, including Flight Lieutenant A H Wann, the airship's pilot. The R38, which is in US Navy markings, is to be sold to the Americans and its designated pilot, Commodore Lewis H Maxfield USN, is also present (in civilian clothes). The airship is led out and the crew get on board. The camera is right underneath it for the take-off into the dusk sky, against which the bulk of the rising airship is silhouetted. The airship comes back in to land at 6am. It manoeuvres, cuts its engines and sinks towards the waiting groundcrew. It is towed back into its hangar.

Ashton: A legacy written in trunk, limb, and leaf
Zittrain speculates on Web's trajectory
They were in a bind, no doubt about it.
Wearing little but cotton shorts, the four men huddled on a streambank deep in the Bornean rain forest. Water dripped from their soggy clothes, making muddy pools around their feet as they assessed the situation.
They were surrounded by a forest so vast that it would take three days walking just to reach the nearest house. They had no food, no shoes, not even a knife.
Minutes earlier, they had been floating downstream in a rough bark canoe they had made that morning, assured that they would eventually find their way out of the forest, just as the stream did.
They heard the waterfall's roar too late and despite their best efforts to save the clumsy craft, had been forced to bail out and swim for shore.
From the waterfall's pool, they retrieved only a small bamboo container holding four matches. Feet bare and stomachs empty, they set out, slogging all day until that evening when, to their horror, they realized they'd marched full circle.
The rain forest was testing Peter Ashton again. Over the years he spent in its humid depths, Ashton, who would go on to become Bullard Professor of Forestry at Harvard, endured many physical hardships. He saw companions die — one in flames, one in water — and was nearly killed himself by a pit viper's poison.
But he learned from the forest. Whether from the data that helped him explain tree diversity and distribution, or from the local people versed in the forests' ways, or from hard experience, Ashton made a career out of listening to what the forest had to say.
On that ill-fated trip many years ago, the men did what the forest required. They rested through the night, climbed a tree to get their bearings, and set out, marching until they couldn't march anymore. They filled their bellies with a milky clay that satisfied even if it didn't nourish. And when one of them became too weak to continue, Ashton stayed with him while the others went on.
Ashton and his companion waited by the stream for three days until they heard the sound of an outboard. It was their comrades who had reached the longhouse of a friendly tribe and returned, led by the chief and his son. To this day, Ashton remembers the food — fish and condensed milk — carried in the canoe.
"We poured the condensed milk over the salt fish and it was one of the best meals I ever had. It was absolutely fantastic," Ashton said, relish evident in his voice even decades later.
After years of listening to the forest, Ashton has shifted tactics. Today he is putting a bullhorn to the forest's mouth so the whole world can hear its message about climate change. Though retired from teaching, Ashton is still active, using an expanding network of forest plots to find out how trees around the world are responding to changes in the environment. His work has brought him prestigious official honors — the Japan Prize and the Sultan Quaboos Prize from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). It's also brought him academia's highest unofficial prize: the accolades of the scientists whose lives he's touched, including many in the countries where he's worked over the years.
"I can certainly say my career is all due to him," said Paul Chai, who worked for Ashton when, early in his career, Ashton was a government forest botanist in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. Chai came into the job as a young kid just looking to make a living. When Chai left two years later, however, it was not for another job but for school. He eventually earned a doctorate and returned to assume Ashton's role as government forest botanist.
"When I started work I didn't know anything about [forest trees]. He introduced me to tropical botany and ecology," Chai said. "I wouldn't have gotten into this career without him."
Infected by beauty on the wind
Though Ashton's career in tropical forests is largely an intellectual pursuit, he was initially drawn to the natural world by its beauty. As a boy growing up in the south of England during World War II, Ashton often wandered forests near his home. The war's fighting left French fields untended and sparked a mini population explosion of continental insects that drifted over the Channel.
"Butterflies came across the channel that had not been seen in any number of years, perhaps since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century," Ashton said. "It was an incredibly exciting time for a young, beginning naturalist."
Ashton, who has 10 plant species named after him and has written six books and more than 200 scholarly articles, got his first taste of a tropical forest as an undergraduate at Cambridge University in the 1950s, when he and a friend traveled to the Amazon one summer.
"I actually went as an entomologist. I got overcome with the excitement of the forest itself," Ashton said.
When he graduated in 1956, Ashton wanted to do his graduate studies with John Corner, the professor who had encouraged him on the Amazon trip. But Corner didn't think school was the right place for him.
"He actually declined and said, 'If you stay here, your knowledge will be based on the knowledge of others. If you're interested in tropical forests, what you really need to do is go out and get your own personal experience and decide what you think about these things,'" Ashton recalled. "That was really good advice."
With Corner's help, Ashton landed a job as a government forest botanist in Brunei, with orders to catalog the nation's timber resources. Ashton spent the next 10 years on the island of Borneo, first in Brunei and later in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. He also continued his studies at Cambridge, earning a doctorate in 1962.
In 1966, Ashton and his wife Mary — to whom Ashton credits much of his success — decided it was time to return to the United Kingdom with their three children. Ashton took a job at Aberdeen University in Scotland, where he was a lecturer and then senior lecturer in botany.
Though Ashton began his career studying the extraordinary diversity of tropical forest trees — a single plot can hold as many tree species as exist in the entire United States and Canada — he wasn't content with that.
Ashton expanded his studies to examine why different trees exist in different places, focusing on tree communities living in different soil types. Unlike temperate forests that may be dominated by two or three tree species, the tropical forest is characterized by a far more complex mosaic spread across the forest floor. In this jigsaw puzzle community, tree species can be represented by single individuals separated by large distances from other members of the same species.
Ashton examined how tree distribution is related to their reproductive habits. He looked at how the trees pollinate each other over such large distances and whether, given the relatively constant conditions day to day and year to year, there was much genetic variability among the trees, an important consideration in the operation of natural selection.
As he puzzled over these questions, he realized that the answers lay hundreds of feet above the ground in the rainforest canopy and that somehow, someone had to get out to where reproduction happens: the flowers growing on the flimsy tips of the trees' branches.
Though he was studying tropical forests, Ashton said he was lucky at the time to be based in Aberdeen, where the oil industry was booming.
"We got engineers to design a kind of tree prosthetic, an aluminum alloy boom that was extensible with ropes, so you can actually manipulate the twigs and flowers in the canopy," Ashton said. He added, with his typical humor, "On the other end you don't suspend yourself, of course, you suspend one of your graduate students. All this is happening at night — to make it extra exciting — while I'm down below barking out commands."
What they found in those hard-to-reach flowers was considerable genetic variability among the trees as well as specific insects that carried pollen from one tree to another, fertilizing the flowers despite the distances between the trees.
Colleagues describe Ashton as friendly and enthusiastic but tough, both physically and mentally, and as one who cares greatly for the local people in the nations where he works. Sitting in a room with Ashton, it's difficult to go 30 minutes without him breaking into laughter at least once, one colleague said. Another described him as friendly, but also very firm. The local tree-climbers in Sarawak gave him the nickname "Taji Buloh," or "bamboo spur" in the local tongue, a reference to the spurs attached to roosters during cockfights.
"What he did was physically immensely challenging," said Cambridge University Professor Emeritus Peter Grubb, who attended Cambridge with Ashton and has kept in touch with him over the years. "He's a very, very tough man."
Ashton came to Harvard in 1978, attracted by the Arnold Arboretum's herbarium and library, which he called one of the world's best for research on Asian plants and forests. He served as the Arnold Arboretum's director and the Arnold Professor of Botany. In 1991, he became the Charles Bullard Professor of Forestry, a post he held until his retirement in 2005. Today he is Charles Bullard Professor of Forestry Emeritus.
The arboretum's current director and Arnold Professor Robert Cook called Ashton a naturalist and scientist in the tradition of Pellegrino University Professor Emeritus E.O. Wilson and famed evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayer, whose scientific work was informed by a personal understanding of their subjects born from years in the field.
Cook said Ashton's nine years as Arboretum director, which ended in 1987, created a vision for the institution as a comparative research facility that endures today, in the construction of a $42 million research laboratory dedicated to fundamental studies of plant biology enabled by the genomics revolution.
"The truth is, the real vision belongs to Peter; I've merely been the midwife," Cook said. "As a consequence, our new Weld Hill research facility, and its immense promise for our future scientific reputation, ensures that the Arnold Arboretum will continue to be a unique source of pleasure and intellectual inspiration for all the people for many generations to come."
A forest chain to measure climate change
In the early 1980s, Ashton had an encounter with scientist Stephen Hubbell that sowed the seeds for the establishment of a unique, global network of forest plots that not only allow scientists to study trees within individual forests, but also allow comparative studies of exhaustively documented forests around the world.
Their work led to the founding of the Center for Tropical Forest Science, a collaboration between the Arnold Arboretum and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. The center expands on Ashton's and Hubbell's ideas and creates a network of 18 forest plots in Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America. The plots hold 6,000 species and 3 million individual trees, measured every five years.
Exhaustively documented, the plots have proven invaluable resources to scientists around the world studying a variety of aspects of tropical forest dynamics, including the impact of climate change.
Grubb said that it was Ashton's people skills, as well as his knowledge of the area and the local governments that were key to establishing the plots.
"He knew where to put the plots in Southeast Asia," Grubb said. "He knew the plants and he knew the people."

Q: checking the condition of function is true or false using if The codde below is the function check which is a  condition function where the function save_user() has to be excecuted only these all conditions are satisfied
function check(){

var myInput = document.getElementById("user_name2");
  var letter = document.getElementById("letter");

  var number = document.getElementById("number");
  var length = document.getElementById("length");

  // When the user clicks on the password field, show the message box
  myInput.onfocus = function() {
    document.getElementById("message").style.display = "block";
  }

  // When the user clicks outside of the password field, hide the message box
  myInput.onblur = function() {
    document.getElementById("message").style.display = "none";
  }

  // When the user starts to type something inside the password field
  myInput.onkeyup = function() {
    // Validate lowercase letters
    var lowerCaseLetters = /[a-z]/g;
    if(myInput.value.match(lowerCaseLetters)) {
      letter.classList.remove("invalid");
      letter.classList.add("valid");
    } else {
      letter.classList.remove("valid");
      letter.classList.add("invalid");
    }

    // Validate numbers
    var numbers = /[0-9]/g;
    if(myInput.value.match(numbers)) {
      number.classList.remove("invalid");
      number.classList.add("valid");
    } else {
      number.classList.remove("valid");
      number.classList.add("invalid");
    }

    // Validate length
    if(myInput.value.length >= 4) {
      length.classList.remove("invalid");
      length.classList.add("valid");
    } else {
      length.classList.remove("valid");
      length.classList.add("invalid");
    }
  }

}

the below code is the excecuting function which is supposed  updates the databse only when function check() conditions are satisfied
function save_user(){
   var user_name = document.getElementById('user_name').value;
   var user_name2 = document.getElementById('user_name2').value;

   uid = firebase.database().ref().child('users').push().key;

   var data = {
    user_id: uid,
    user_name: user_name,
    password: user_name2
   }

   var updates = {};
   updates['/users/' + uid] = data;
   if(check)
   {
   firebase.database().ref().update(updates);

   alert('The user is created successfully!');
   reload_page();

   document.writeln(uid);

  }
  else{
    alert('not satisfied');
  }

  }

the expected output of this code is that the value should be updated into the database only when there are atlease 4 characters 1 lowercase letter and atleast 1 numerical value
these conditions are specified in function check() and called in function save_user() as in
if(check)

if the conditions are not satisfied it should pop up not satisfied

A: Your check() function doesn't return a value, so it will always false
and if(check) is checking a variable not a function, you can change it to if(check()) but it will always false since check() function doesn't return a value
Try to add this to the end of your function :
return ( length.classList.contains("valid") && number.classList.contains("valid") && letter.classList.contains("valid") )


December 17, 2018. Clean Energy Fuels reports that for the City of Chesapeake, Virginia, a journey that started in September 2012 advanced this week when its millionth gallon of compressed natural gas (CNG) was dispensed into the city's fleet vehicles. What began as six trucks running on Clean Energy's diesel-alternative fuel has grown to a fleet of 50 CNG solid waste trucks now in service.
The City of Chesapeake contracted with Clean Energy to design, build, and operate a public-access fast-fill CNG fueling station and upgrade an existing time-fill CNG fueling station to accommodate its growing natural gas vehicle (NGV) fleet. The new station has allowed the city to expand its refuse fleet and generate revenue by servicing private fleets in the region.
Chesapeake originally migrated to natural gas vehicles to meet sustainability goals and save taxpayer dollars said George Hrichak, CEM, CPFP, fleet manager for the city, who monitors fuel usage and noted the million-gallon milestone. He said the municipality has reaped the benefits of operating its waste trucks on CNG.
Chesapeake has seen significant fuel cost savings in the past few years by using CNG refuse trucks. Using CNG, the city of Chesapeake has realized an annual saving of $61,837 per truck in maintenance and fuel costs compared to diesel powered refuse trucks. Even though fuel costs savings decreased as diesel and gasoline prices have come down, the city is still committing to natural gas. More than 3 percent of city vehicles run on natural gas.


Item creator's name Fischer, Marcelle K.
Item description Fischer begins the letter with a short, overly formal joke note. She then describes the busy schedule of a WAAC and jokes about the rumor that WAACs serve only to find a husband. Much of the letter is sarcastic commentary about her social life, poking fun at the assumption that WAACs are heavy drinkers and boy crazy. She includes two riddles.
Veteran's name Fischer, Marcelle K.
Veteran's biography Marcelle K. Fischer served in the WAC from 1942-1945 .
Marcelle K. Fischer of Skokie, Illinois, had already held several jobs, one with the Treasury Department in Washington, DC, when she decided to enlist in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps in 1942. She went to basic training at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, and then had advanced training in army administration at Drake University, also in Des Moines, where she prepared for duties in handling technical manuals and teaching office work to male soldiers. In early 1943 she was sent to Fort Custer, Michigan, then by fall of 1943 had moved to Rapid City Army Air Base in South Dakota. She was finally stationed at Ft. McPherson, Georgia, where she was discharged from the WAC in November 1945.
After the war, Fischer went to work for the Railroad Retirement Board, until, in 1951, she decided to resume her college studies and enrolled in the Sorbonne in Paris, France. While in Europe, she began visiting flea markets, a hobby which eventually launched her into a career of dealing in antiques.
Collection summary The Marcelle Fischer Papers primarily consists of correspondence, printed materials, photographs andArtifacts, most of which date from or pertain to Fischer's service in the WAAC and WAAC during World War II. Correspondence from Fischer includes discussion her duties teaching office work to male soldiers and general WAC life, such as barracks life, dating, social outings, her feelings regarding her contribution to the war effort, and her desire for advancement in the WAC. The correspondence also includes letters from male soldiers, both stateside and overseas, and correspondence from WAC friends such as Mildred Estabrook, who was stationed in Europe in 1945, and Ruth Tamayo, who primarily wrote about religious topics and mysteries while posted in Germany and Japan from 1950 to 1953. Printed Materials in this collection take many forms, primarily booklets, souvenirs, newspapers and newspaper clippings, event programs, certificates, and training manuals. Most of these are related to Fischer's duties in the WAC or collected by her during her time of service, and some can be found in the Oversize Series. Also included in this collection are a fewArtifacts, primarily uniform accessories, and a significant number of photographs of Fischer and her WAC friends.
Full-text transcript My dear Miss Herzog:" Your communication of December 11, 1942 received. Regretful to say, I did not have time to answer above subject matter. The W.A.A.C. is an organization created to relieve men for actual combat duty. This may suggest to you that we are very busy and haven't the time for personal pleasure. In the near future, after we learn the army routine, I will no doubt have the requested ten (10) minutes required to write a not so abrupt and more sociable letter. Until that date, I regretfully say - goodbye now.
*Now that dear girl is how I would answer a letter now that I am a full pledged WAAC. But being that you are so interested in the uniformed girls, I will start again and this time by myself.
Hello Hope-less: Gee it was swell to hear from you. How are you and every little thing including my two-timing boy friends.
As for myself, I really can't say much. Things are so cut and dried in the WAAC's one just can't have any fun. From morning 'till night it's always - do this and do that, so now if some one doesn't tell me what to do, I am lost.
All kidding aside, the WAAC-ing stuff is really a lot of fun. The girls range from the old sea-hags to young battle axes who have all joined the army to hook some poor unsuspecting, crosseyed [sic], buck-toothed, chubby, cross-kneed soldier.
Of course, you know I joined this women's army just for the thrill of it all. New adventures, new faces, new things, gosh, this can go on forever, and not with the idea of having a good time will all the petticoat crazy Wolves hanging around all army camps.
I am now with the 35th Post Headquarters Company WAAC which was assigned to the Sixth Service Command, Services of Supplies, Chicago, Illinois, who in turn attached us to the 1605th Station Complement, Post Headquarters, stationed in Fort Custer, Michigan.
There are 149 Auxiliaries to our company with three officers to look after our well being. They must think we are a bunch of high school girls living away from home they way they treat us." Can you ever imagine little me getting up before six in the morning? Well, I'll have you know that's exactly when we get up. It's no fun having to crawl out of a nice comfortable warm bed and hit the dawn for roll call. Why it's so dark even the chickens are still roosting. And we do all this just to spend an hour to camouflage ourselves before going to breakfast and then to work.
We work from eight in the morning 'till five in the evening. After that we can do as we please - if it's not against the rules and is covered by the Articles of War, Army Regulations, Service Command Regulations and by the Post Regulations. In other words, one can't do much without breaking a regulation or two."
Fort Custer is a nice place. It's not large, but then, it's not small. It's just an average army camp with lots of soldiers to go with it. We have a Service Club, but a lot of good it does. We can't dance there when the weekly dances are in full swing. That's because the local gals are all afraid we might take their boy friends away. The cats.
There is also a bowling alley on the Post. This is where most of the fellows take us for a bite to eat before hitting the hay. If we want to be with the boys, the bowling alley and the theatre are about the only places one can go, unless you want to take a walk and freeze your (Censored) off.
Since coming to Fort Custer, I really haven't had much time to myself. After work every day it's always a party here or a dance there or whatever else you can think of that takes a boy and a girl. I don't know how I manage to get to work every morning like I have been doing. Did you know that my capacity for the bottle is now one pint straight or little more mixed. I am no longer the sweet young thing my folks tell their friends. According to my boy friends in the army, I am a gift from heaven, more gorgeous than an angel, and the best of it all is I am beginning to believe them.
Did you know that while training in Fort Des Moines I spent the Christmas in Kansas City? I had a two day pass and from what little I can remember, I must have had a good time. While there, I was honored by being picked the most gorgeous, beautiful and what have you creature by the service men who happened to be in the Canteen at the time. The papers gave me front page stuff with my picture to show that I was all they claimed. Boy am I getting to be the girl or am I getting to be the girl - just ask me. You are, swell. Well, I am the most talked about, looked at, admired WAAC in the service, so there.
So you are now sweet, lovable eighteen. The age all little girls wished to be an all the old hens think they are. The age of innocence when one begins to learn the simple things in life and upon learning regreted [sic]. How I envy you.
We haven't had the chance to see many good pictures to date. Arabian Nights, not much story but restful to the eyes. I slept the whole picture through. Stand By for Action, a Robert Taylor story, without love interest but lots of fun, had many amusing incidents. Hitler's Children and a few others not worth mentioning. I go to sleep anyway so it doesn't make much difference.
And speaking of jokes, we really hear very little and what we do hear, they can't be written and sent through the mail. Besides jokes like that aren't good for you.
What is a double petunia?"""Well, a petunia is a flower like a begonia." A begonia is a meat like a sausage." A sausage and battery is a crime." Monkeys crime trees." Trees a crowd." A rooster crowd in the morning and makes a noise." A noise is on your face like your eyes." The eyes is the opposite of nays." A horse nays and has a colt." You get a colt and go to bed and wake up in the morning with double petunia.""
Why is a fire engine red?"""Well, a fire engine is a truck." It takes two people to truck." Two people have four feet." A foot is a ruler." Queen Mary was a ruler." Queen Mary was also a boat." Boats sail on the ocean." Fishes live in the ocean." Fishes have fins." The Russians defeated the Finns." The Russians are Red." Fire Engines are always rushin'." That's why fire engines are red.""
Have you noticed the remarkable change in my grammer [sic], vocabular [sic] and many other things pertaining to proper English? Well, sweet eighteen - that, comes from being a WAAC.
Well young lady, I have work to do so until a later date, excuse me. If you can break away from your dates, drop me a line or two.

Буњевачко-шокачка странка (БШС) била је политичка странка Буњеваца и Шокаца у Краљевини Срба, Хрвата и Словенаца.

Странка је основана 15. септембра 1920. године, са намјером да настави организоване политичке активности Буњеваца и Шокаца из Бачке, које су имале своју традицију још прије Првог свјетског рата. Странка је остварила запажен резултат на изборима 1920. и 1923. године. На челу странке се налазио Блашко Рајић.

Послије 28. новембра 1924. године, у странци је наступила криза због неслагања међу чланством о визији организације политичког живота Буњеваца и Шокаца у Бачкој у даљој будућности. Дио чланство је био за "засебни" пут, док је други дио чланство био склонији сарадњи са Хрватском републиканском сељачком странком Стјепана Радића. У то вријеме, на челу странке се налазио Јосип Ђидо Вуковић. Због неслгања са вођством странке, Блашко Рајић је 1924. године напустио странку.

На изборима 1925. године већина Буњаваца и Шокаца у Бачкој стала уз БШС. Временом БШС се све више окретао према Стјепану Радићу и ХСС. Године 1926. скоро цјелокупно чланство странке се придружило ХСС. На крају, и сам Рајић је кренуо путем чланства странке, па је постао снажан поборник Радића и ХСС.
