Campus friends remember Zoyer Zyndel, alumnus and community advocate
Date: January 7, 2021Author: fresnostatechhs 2 Comments
Written by Jefferson Beavers, communication specialist, Department of English
Zoyer Zyndel, a Fresno State alumnus known for his community volunteering and advocacy, particularly with the Central Valley's LGBTQ communities, died in Fresno on Dec. 26. He was 34.
Zyndel earned a Master of Social Work degree and a humanics certificate in administration and leadership for community benefit organizations in 2017, and a bachelor's in English literature in 2012, all from Fresno State. His campus presence deeply impacted students, alumni, and faculty in three colleges — Health and Human Services, Arts and Humanities, and Social Sciences — as well as the Cross Cultural and Gender Center.
Zyndel's far-reaching activism and community service embraced the intersections of ability, gender, sexuality, race, and socioeconomic status, and how these areas connect with issues that impact people throughout the region, said Dr. Katherine Fobear, an assistant professor in Fresno State's Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies. Zyndel was involved with initiatives including suicide prevention, homelessness, mental health, and poverty.
"Zoyer was a leader in so many ways and charted a path forward for students, especially transgender students, to find their place and flourish," Fobear said.
Fobear said Zyndel generously mentored students, and he frequently spoke at campus and community gatherings. In 2019, he collaborated with students on the city's first Transgender Housing Report, which documented struggles with housing insecurity and homelessness that many trans persons experience. Recently, he was working with the University and the Equal Opportunity Commision's LGBTQ+ Resource Center on a transgender health project.
Zyndel was a mental health clinician for Fresno County Behavioral Health. He held volunteer leadership roles in countless organizations throughout the past decade, most notably Trans-E-Motion and area PFLAG chapters, as well as Fresno State's United Student Pride club and Fresno City College's LGBTQ+ Spectrum club.
Zyndel regularly worked with people in crisis, and "he found great meaning in supporting people when they felt they had no one in the world," said Dr. Kris Clarke, an associate professor of social work at the University of Helsinki in Finland.
Clarke, a former professor in Fresno State's Department of Social Work Education, served as Zyndel's thesis mentor during his time in the Master of Social Work program. She and Zyndel kept in close touch, and she considered him her most beloved friend.
"I learned so much from Zoyer not only about transgender issues, but about being a good person in a world that is not always welcoming or fair," Clarke said. "He was a true shining light of grace in the ongoing struggle for social justice in the Central Valley."

Clarke recently interviewed Zyndel for her new Social Work Routes podcast. He spoke of how happy he was, working for the county alongside clinical supervisor Jeffery Robinson, who was a steady and supportive mentor. She said Zyndel felt he was really developing as a social worker, after completing his practical placements at WestCare and moving on to a full job.
Zyndel also talks at length in the podcast about his ethnic heritage. "Zoyer was trans, but he was a lot of other things too," Clarke said. "Growing up, he didn't learn Spanish. His family's migration turned into assimilation by necessity. He was deeply interwoven into many communities, a very intersectional guy."
She said Zyndel's hope and optimism in all his work was contagious, and he was generous with his time and caring with others. "He was one of the kindest people I have ever met, he always made me laugh, and he was a beautiful person," she said. "He touched the lives of so many."
An advocate for the most vulnerable
Well-known as an activist in the transgender community, Clarke said Zyndel had endless patience, gently teaching people to learn about their prejudices and be better. He was "a one-man transport and support service for the most vulnerable in our community," she said. "He showed up. He always showed up."
Clarke said Zyndel was most closely involved with Trans-E-Motion, the local nonprofit whose goal is to provide support and education to transgender persons, their families, and friends. "If you talk with someone who's trans," Clarke said, "they'll tell you Zoyer went to their house every day if necessary, helping them come into their identity, helping them understand themselves."
In a Facebook statement Dec. 27, the leadership of Trans-E-Motion said it was Zyndel's "driving mission to be a force for good in this world," and all who knew him were drawn to that force. "He took it upon himself to create new pathways for people" in the Central Valley's transgender and LGBTQ communities, the statement said.
One of those people is Hayden Simmons. Now a home health-care provider and caretaker who identifies as genderfluid, Simmons was 15 when they met Zyndel at their first support group in 2012. Zyndel served as Trans-E-Motion chair at the time.
"Zoyer made me feel comfortable to be myself the very first time I met him," Simmons said. "He had this aura that made you feel like you could be yourself. He never judged anybody. Even if a person had different beliefs and political views, he welcomed them."
Having a mentor like Zyndel — particularly someone who is similar in gender expression — felt critical to Simmons' development. "Not a lot of trans youth really get to experience that," they said. "If I hadn't met Zoyer, maybe my life would have been completely different. Maybe I wouldn't be as accepting of myself."
Zyndel directly mentored so many transgender teens in the Central Valley, Simmons said. "Having lived here as a trans youth and being close to Zoyer, I would say my life was 10 times brighter when he was around," they said.

Always educating and serving others
According to Dr. Francine Oputa — who recently retired as the longtime director of Fresno State's Cross Cultural and Gender Center, formerly known as the Women's Resource Center — Zyndel's mentoring style was masterful.
Oputa said Zyndel was gracious, funny, kind, and always patient in teaching others about gender and gender expression. "There's different styles of teaching about diversity, inclusion, and oppression," Oputa said. "In those public conversations — whether he was on a panel, in a small group, in a classroom, or a larger event — I never remember him making people feel bad about our ignorance. Such a collaborative spirit."
Zyndel volunteered on the Cross Cultural and Gender Center's LGBTQ+ advisory board, maintaining relationships with multiple coordinators and countless students at the center over a 10-year span. "That's service," Oputa said, "being that servant leader. And why? Because he knew his own experiences, and he wanted other folks to feel a little less terrified."
Oputa shared the story of a friend who called her several years ago to let her know her child had come out as transgender. Last year, the friend's son heard Zyndel speak at Trans-E-Motion's Transgender Day of Remembrance, an event held annually on Nov. 20 to memorialize and honor transgender persons who have lost their lives in the past year due to violence and transphobia.
"I saw my friend's son transform before my eyes," Oputa said. "It was like, 'I got into a space where I can breathe, where I can be myself, where I am not afraid.' The work that Zoyer and Trans-E-Motion did for those babies who are finding themselves, it's immeasurable. To be in that space. To be accepted."
At the center, Oputa said they have a giant sign listing different gender and sexual identities, with definitions. It enables people to more clearly identify themselves.
"Because of Zoyer's decision to be so public about his own identity, people got to say: That's me, too. That's the word for who I am," Oputa said.

Discovering social work through stories
According to Clarke, Zyndel came to social work as a profession not entirely through his community service but perhaps through an unlikely path: his undergraduate studies in English literature.
Clarke said social work is about stories: the stories that society tells us about ourselves, the stories we tell ourselves, and the ways to change those stories in order to make a better society.
"Zoyer studied literature and wrote poetry himself," said Clarke, who also first majored in English. "He knew the power of stories to shape our realities. Zoyer had shown great courage in living his own story, despite the headwinds of negativity he faced all his life."
As Zyndel dug into his Master of Social Work thesis project, on the disparities that people in the transgender community face in the Central Valley, Clarke said he captured excellent stories of his subjects.
"Zoyer was a great writer," she said. "It's very important in social work; the narrative you construct about people can really define them. He was present with people. He sat with them in their pain and stress, and then he found resources to help them."
Zyndel wanted the stories in his thesis to show "it's not just about being trans," Clarke said. "It's about street violence, abuse, poverty, and the constant discrimination. All these disparities that prevent people from living their authentic lives."
Clarke said Zyndel was the second transgender person in the social work program, and the first to finish the MSW degree.
In his undergraduate work, Zyndel asserted himself as a leader in the English department too. He was an instructional student assistant in the campus Writing Center, tutoring first-year students one-on-one and in small groups. He participated twice in the Undergraduate Conference on Multiethnic Literatures of the Americas, where he presented research papers on "Passing: Social Acceptance vs. Cultural Pride" in 2012, and "The Bluest Eye and Native Son: Effects of the 'Self-Loathing Serum'" in 2011.
Dr. John Beynon, a professor of English, said Zyndel was a serious and engaged student who helped to shape the collective personality of the classes he took. He said Zyndel particularly responded to works of literature that examined the overlapping experiences of being queer and being a person of color.
Beynon, current chair for Fresno State's LGBT+ Allies Network for faculty and staff, always looked forward to seeing Zyndel at events. He said he couldn't count the number of times he saw Zyndel speaking — as a special guest following an educational film, as a panelist about Fresno's diverse LGBTQ+ population, or into a bullhorn during a demonstration for transgender rights.
"What I will most remember is his upbeat personality, his ability to make authentic connections with other people, and his sunny and bright outlook," Beynon said. "Zoyer always had a smile on his face, and his laughter was better than medicine. He was a model activist, and I know that his legacy will live on in the activism that those he inspired will continue to engage in."
Embracing the brown body without apology
Zyndel's impact as an advocate for LGBTQ persons is well documented; his impact on LGBTQ persons of color is equally important, according to two of his peers.
Fresno State alumna Erin L. Álvarez said Zyndel was the first openly transgender person she ever met, when they worked as tutors in the Writing Center. She said his presence there — openly trans, in a brown body — was both inspirational and liberating, "in the sense that Zoyer lived his life authentically without apology, so that others like and unlike him could do the same."
She knew Zyndel best as a literary scholar and a creative writer. His analyses, criticism, and reasoning, she said, was in the vein of a trained doctor of literature; his musings were not of ordinary intellect, but of seasoned scholars.
"And to have witnessed these musings, his first drag performance, and the way he hurried from one job or class or meeting to another always made me smile, because Zoyer had so much goodness to share," Álvarez said.
Álvarez, a Chicana educator who now directs the writing center at College of the Sequoias in Visalia, said Zyndel was "more than a peer in the Writing Center, or organizer at a protest, or student in the classroom. In a world where Black and brown men are treated in despicable and traumatizing ways, the loss of Zoyer will be felt for generations."
Fresno State alumna Jacki Alvarez (no relation to Erin) said she became friends with Zyndel as an undergrad because they shared the same vision for the type of world they wanted to live in: "a world that accepts us and others as we are."
Jacki Alvarez is Portuguese; Zyndel was Chicano. "We used to say we were large and in charge," ze said, "neither of us apologizing for the space we occupy. Zoyer and I shared being misfits, in academia and in life."
Showing up in campus spaces in a queer, brown body, Jacki Alvarez explained, often disrupts the white dominance that exists in higher education. The two shared many private conversations about the intersections of their bodies, their race, and the disruptions that they created by occupying the margins in the white, hierarchical spaces of a university.
"We vowed to be inclusive for our own students and as lifelong community members," said Jacki Alvarez, who is now a lecturer in Fresno State's Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies. "We both found solace in the mentors that we had, and agreed that we needed to create welcoming spaces on campus for other students who faced similar hardships and ostracization."

Feeling accepted, feeling pride
According to his sister, Mindy Hernandez, Zoyer Zachary Zyndel began identifying as a transgender man in the mid-2000s, while taking courses at Fresno City College. He was born in Fresno in 1986, and he graduated from Clovis West High School in 2004.
Hernandez said at first, Zyndel's family wanted to be supportive of his coming out as trans — he had briefly come out as lesbian early in high school, but she said her brother "never felt right" with that identity — but they didn't yet understand what the term "transgender" meant.
In a 2015 interview for Valley Public Radio's "My Valley, My Story" series, Zyndel explained: "I was assigned female at birth but I live my life as male, and so my sex did not correspond with my gender. Gender is a function of the brain, and I've always seen myself in my brain as a male."
Hernandez said hearing her brother speak at a Transgender Day of Remembrance event felt like a turning point. "Hearing him so comfortable on the mic, we realized, 'So this is who you are! So this is what you do!'" Hernandez said. "Our parents were really proud of Zoyer. It helped them to get on board with who he was and who he was becoming, which helped with acceptance."
Zyndel and his siblings grew up as Seventh-day Adventists, "but I stopped going because I felt Zoyer was shut out," Hernandez said. Her brother was not a religious person, but she said he believed in God and was spiritual. In later years, Zyndel became close with the pastor of Our Saviour's Lutheran Church near the Tower District. He did volunteer work with the church, especially with support groups.
"Zoyer always had faith," his sister said, "even though some people said God wouldn't accept him."
Hernandez said her brother led a full life beyond community service, spending lots of leisure time with friends. He enjoyed cooking; homemade cauliflower pizza was his go-to for parties. He loved taking his chihuahuas, Abby and Maggie, on walking adventures, especially along the Kings River. And recently, he would go floating with friends down the sun-splashed river in summers.
"It makes me feel so proud that Zoyer made such a difference in other people's lives," Hernandez said. "To hear all the stories, some for the first time — they really make me feel so lucky to have him in my life, lucky to be close to him. He was such a special person to so many people. He never bragged about it or talked about any of it. He really gave, from his good heart."

Making himself vulnerable, again and again
Mary G. Castro cannot imagine Fresno or the world without the engaging, welcoming, and approachable smile of Zoyer Zyndel.
The University's now-former First Lady — whose husband, Dr. Joseph I. Castro, began Jan. 4 serving as the CSU chancellor in Long Beach — said she entered a lot of new rooms when her husband first became Fresno State's eighth president in 2013.
"You look around to see the clue that people are ready to get to know you," Mary Castro said. "I don't remember the event, but I clearly remember Zoyer's smile. It made me want to know him."
From there, she said, their friendship started with a conversation. She didn't realize until months later that Zyndel was such a big presence as an activist and transgender advocate on campus and in the community.
A while later, in an effort to learn how to become a better LGBTQ ally, Castro attended a "Safe Zone" event inside the Henry Madden Library. It was panel discussion featuring transgender students, and Zyndel was on it.
Castro said the panelists were deeply brave. They told stories about their experiences, about being challenged in everything they did. "Not once in a while," she said, "but every time they entered a room." She heard stories of incorrect names, incorrect pronouns, fear when using bathrooms, and worse — so many times, not feeling welcome or safe in their current space.
"It takes a lot of courage," Castro said, "to be up there and relay the stories they were telling, to be vulnerable again and again. When you're speaking about something painful in your life, you don't want to keep telling it over and over. But Zoyer did that. He went into those spaces. Not for his own glory, but to help others. It's so hard. It's laying yourself bare."
By the end of the panel, Castro said it felt like those in attendance were truly hearing Zyndel and his transgender peers.
"The moderator asked each speaker one last question: Is there one thing you could say, that you just wish people would know or do?" she said.
"And Zoyer said, 'Believe me.' That felt so powerful. People can use a lot of words and not say anything. Those two words, and the tone in which he said them, really captured my heart. It's as simple as that. If I say: I am this, I feel this, I need this — believe me. And I believed Zoyer. I loved Zoyer. I wanted everyone else to do the same."
Zyndel is survived by his parents, Rene and Eileen Hernandez; grandmother, Louise Hernandez; sisters, Mindy and Jenny Hernandez; and a niece. Services will be private, due to the coronavirus pandemic; the family will organize a public memorial gathering when it is safe to do so.
Thanks to the widespread support of the community and to the family of Zyndel, the "Zoyer Zyndel MSW Memorial Scholarship Fund" has now been established. Current Master of Social Work students are now eligible to apply for this $1,000 scholarship opportunity, which closes March 2nd. For details and to apply, visit the the Financial Aid and Scholarship portal, and search for the "Department of Social Work Education, College of Health and Human Services".

Posted: Sun Mar 29, 2015 8:49 am Post subject: What do we know?
Sometimes I stop and contemplate things, and I've often found some interesting points. Do we actually know anything? There are a lot of things out there that we claim to know, but if you begin to question it the right way, it all sort of falls apart.
Take math, for example. This is a fairly universal thing that is used to explain a lot of different things. And yet, it's imaginary. It was made-up, messed around with, and everything we know now about it comes from what other people have made of it. Sort of interesting to think that there was probably a time before math.
Anyone have any other crazy revelations or ideas that question the world as we know it?

Shauna Rae Reveals The Guy She is Seeing
Shauna Rae, the reality TV star, is just like any other 20-something. She's dipping her toes in the dating pool while attempting to obtain independence from her parents. The only snag? The 23-year-old appears to be closer to the age of 8.
Someone is in a relationship with a girl who describes herself as being "trapped in the body of an eight-year-old."
When Shauna Rae was just a child, her parents were told she had brain cancer. Because of this, she was mandated to take part in chemotherapy.
Because of the treatment, her pituitary gland was hurt, which slowed her growth and gave her pituitary dwarfism.
Consequently, despite being 23 years old, she is just 3 feet and 10 inches tall and weighs only 50 pounds.
In the TLC episode titled "I Am Shauna Rae," she discussed her disability and how it has altered her life.
She also tells people about her new probable partner, Dan, whom she has seen since he slid into her direct messages (DMs) after reading her story. Dan is someone she has been seeing since he slid into her DMs after reading her story.
They had only met in person a handful of times since they started corresponding online. Dan, originally from Wales, traveled all the way to the United States to spend time with Shauna Rae and her family.
I haven't really thought about whether Dan and I were in a relationship and how that would look.
I assume we would try long-distance, but I've been in a long-distance relationship, and it's not my cup of tea.
So, either he would have to find a settle-down place, or I would have to start traveling with him.
Dan, who is 26 years old, just asked Shauna Rae to join them at the wedding of a buddy who is getting married in Malaysia.
Even though Shauna's parents tend to be extra careful around their daughter, they have stated that they believe it would be great for her to go.
I think Dan taking Shauna out of the country would be cool.
Said her stepfather.
I think she'd have a good time.
I don't think I'd be as concerned if Shauna went on a trip with Dan because she's with Dan.
I mean, I think the first thing he would do is protect Shauna.
Even if they have given her the okay to leave, Shauna Rae believes that it is likely that they will want her to go.
They probably wouldn't let me go if it happened.
Shauna Rae admits that, in the past, she's gone on dates that didn't quite go according to plan.
However, she can now identify the guys who see her solely as a science experiment.
I've just developed the ability to spot someone who may not have the best intentions because they give themselves away.
She said.
Their questions are very targeted toward my physicality.
They're learning about me like I'm a specimen in a lab.

Women are not the homogeneous group it is often assumed. Women's differences relates to living location, birthplace, culture, spoken language, ethnicity, economic background, education, sexuality, familial ties, age, health, ability and any number of other factors. These factors impact upon housing needs as evidenced by the range of research examining issues for female sole parents (Cass, 1991), young women (Canold McDonald, 1991), older women (O'Brien, 1994), migrant women (Thompson, 1994), and women leaving violent situations (Grieve, 1991; Smith, 1994).
Women's different experiences are reflected in writings on the majority housing tenures of home ownership (Watson 1985), private tenancy (Econsult, undated), and public tenancy (Denigan, 1992); and minority tenures of housing co-operatives (WISH, 1994), women in refuges and crisis accommodation (Victorian Women's Refuge Group, 1979; McFerron, 1990), and caravans (WISH, 1991). One may conclude from these studies that the stereotype represented in the old saying "a woman's place is in the home" while signifying attempts to limit women's role outside the home, it has not had a big impact on a woman's right to be adequately housed.
The fact that women are not equitably involved in the decision-making of the design of the home, the choice of the area to live in, the planning and development of the neighbourhood and, even more importantly, the planning, development and maintenance of their villages, towns and cities, makes the world further removed from achieving...sustainable development for its families and communities.

JACKSON, MS (WDAM) - The Mississippi Senate passed a bill Wednesday that would raise pay for teachers, teacher assistants, librarians and counselors.
If the bill becomes law, more than 35,000 educators would see another $1,000 in pay, according to a Senate news release.
Senate Bill 2770, by Senate Education Chairman Gray Tollison, will now head to the House for consideration.
The average annual salary for Mississippi teachers is $44,925, according to the Mississippi Department of Education.
Reeves said in September 2018 that he wanted to direct an estimated $50 million in Medicaid program savings into Mississippi classrooms, according to the release.


Nowadays the cost of housing is in constant increase all around the world. Therefore, many families have decided to invest in tiny homes. However, some people have invested in building sustainable, off-grid homes which enable them to live peaceful lives while thriving in nature.
If these options sound good to you, look at the house designed by the Italian architect Renato Vidal.
As a solution for skyrocketing, Vidal has developed a flat pack folding home which costs about $33,000. Moreover, it can be assembled in various flat locations just in 6 hours.
According to Bored Panda, the building is seismically safe and it is created with high-quality materials. It comes in different sizes as well, for example, 904-square-foot design which costs $73,000 and a 290-square-foot home for only $33,000.
These houses can be assembled to go off-grid. Their structure pairs well with grey-water systems, solar panels and LED lighting.
After payment, the house usually arrives in about 60 days. Its structure includes kitchen connections, a bathroom with sanitary facilities, technical installations and a staircase.
As the company reveals, these homes are safe, comfortable and highly customizable to meet your needs.
M.A.Di is just as same as an ordinary house. However, everything that is below the exterior is literally outstanding.
The interior, on the other hand, has modern open-plan style.
The abode doesn't need to be built on a concrete foundation since that allows the structure to have no impact on the environment.
The flat pack folding house costs only $33,000 and can be assembled just in 6 hours.

Diddy Reclaims Sean John Brand
Diddy has reclaimed his iconic streetwear label, Sean John.
The rapper has regained control of his brand for $7.155m, report WWD.
He first established Sean John in 1998 and it quickly became popular in hip-hop fashion. However, he sold the majority interest to GBG back in 2016, and retained a 10 percent stake.
But "the relationship with GBG turned rocky in recent years" and "Combs filed a lawsuit against GBG seeking $25 million for 'false endorsement, misappropriation of likeness and violating his publicity rights'".
A second lawsuit was also filed "from his nonprofit, Citizen Change, over GBG's use of the phrase "Vote or Die," a trademark owned by the organisation."
These lawsuits have now been dropped.
Efforts to reclaim the brand began in early December, and Diddy has now prevailed in succeeding the reclamation of Sean John.

Q: Why does a virtual function with only a declaration result in a compiler error? I have this class,
class Base {
    public:
        void foo();
};

int main()
{
    Base b;
}

main will compile without any error, although foo() has no definition. But b.foo(); will result in a compile error.
Moreover, even for constructor and operator=, I can just declare them without defining them, it'll compile as long as I don't trigger them.
Question
Again, I add a virtual function into Base,
class Base {
    public:
        void foo();
        virtual void bar();  // no defition is gonna be provided.
};

Now, main cannot compile, instead I get an error:
undefined reference to vtable for Base
Well this confuses me a little bit, because previously, main could compile as long as foo() is not called, but now I add bar() and it's not called at all.
Why doesn't it compile in this case?

A: First version can compile because the linker needn't search for the object foo. It's used nowhere.
But when you create a virtual function, the construction of the vtable (for dynamic dispatch) needs an address for the function Base::bar (it makes a reference to it) and therefore the linker needs to find an implementation of it.

A: When a polymorphic object (instance of a class with at least one virtual function) is created, it has to have a virtual table pointer that points to the virtual table. Each polymorphic class will have a virtual table that is constructed once. It is up to the implementation of the compiler to allow the virtual table to be incomplete. This table is populated based on virtual function definition.
If any virtual function is not implemented and the function is not pure virtual then some compilers give a compiler error as the virtual table is incomplete.
In the case of a simple (non-virtual) function, the function declaration will be ignored if it is never used. Even if it is used, we get a linker error and not compiler error.

A: This is strictly up to the compiler. No diagnostic is required for either case.
10.3 Virtual functions [class.virtual]

9 A virtual function declared in a class shall be defined, or declared
  pure (10.4) in that class, or both; but no diagnostic is required
  (3.2). [emphasis mine]

To understand why this happens though, let's have a look at how it works.
Each translation unit generates an object file, each object file with exports (symbols it exported) and imports (symbols it wants).
The first example is simple - the imports only require foo when it is used. There's no reason for the linker to look for the symbol, so it doesn't.
The second one, with the virtual method, is a bit more complicated. Most compilers (if not all) required valid virtual function tables. That means that at link time, all classes that declared non-pure virtual methods would have to have those methods exported. This is stricter than the non-virtual case because the implementation doesn't actually know whether the function is called or not (it could be called polymorphically).

A: A virtual function declared in a class shall be defined, or declared pure in that class, or both(C++03 Standard).

Shifting electric cars and buses into high gear
Jonathan Lee
Despite leaving significant business on climate unfinished, this year's Oregon Legislature did deliver some wins for climate action. One of these was a bill establishing an ambitious statewide timeline for adopting zero-emission cars, buses, and commercial vehicles.
Oregon has taken significant steps to protect our air, water, food, and homes from climate impacts. However, pollution created by Oregon's transportation sector has increased year after year, and now comstitutes the largest share—40%—of our state's total global warming pollution. Cleaning up our electrical grid, then using clean electricity to transform our transportation sector, are critical steps we must take to address climate change and achieve Oregon's pollution reduction goals.
The new transportation electrification law (Senate Bill 1044) builds upon the Clean Fuels Standard, Executive Order 17-21 on Zero Emission Vehicles, the 2017 Transportation Package's electric vehicle incentives, transit and multimodal infrastructure investments, and ongoing efforts to clean up our power grid. The law:
Establishes statewide goals for adopting zero-emission vehicles, including a target of at least 90 percent of new motor vehicles sold being zero-emission by 2035;
Requires state agencies to purchase or lease zero-emission vehicles for at least one-quarter of their new light-duty vehicle fleet (with some exceptions);
Allows school districts to invest in electric school buses and other zero-emission infrastructure with Public Purpose Charge funds collected by utility companies;
Creates a more efficient process for utilities to help build more public charging stations; and
Mandates better study and tracking of our statewide progress to reduce transportation-related pollution, including recommendations for reducing barriers to transportation electrification.
We still have a long way to go in cleaning up our transportation sector to address the climate crisis. However, investing now in zero-emission vehicles and clean transportation infrastructure is a vital step in moving us beyond fossil fuels to power our lives.

Police End NAACP Sit-In Against Attorney General Nominee
Attorney General nominee Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., is shown while meeting with Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Several NAACP members, led by their national president, staged a sit-in Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017, at the Alabama office of U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions to protest his nomination to be the nation's next attorney general.
MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA (AP) — The national president of the NAACP and five others were arrested after staging a sit-in Tuesday at the Alabama office of Sen. Jeff Sessions, the nominee for U.S. attorney general, the civil rights group said.
The organization held the demonstration to protest Sessions' nomination by President-elect Donald Trump, criticizing Sessions' record and views on civil rights, immigration, criminal justice reform, and voting rights enforcement.
"We have an attorney general nominee who does not acknowledge the reality of voter suppression while mouthing faith in the myth of voter fraud," NAACP President Cornell William Brooks said by phone earlier in Tuesday's protest. Brooks called Sessions a poor choice to lead the U.S. Justice Department.
The sit-in at Sessions' office in Mobile, Alabama — the city the Republican senator calls home — began around 11 a.m. Tuesday. Demonstrators refused a request by the manager of the building— which includes several other tenants in addition to Sessions— to leave when the building closed for the day at 6 p.m. Police could be seen on video footage coming and handcuffing the six protesters and escorted them to a police van.
"We all are aware of the laws of trespass. We are engaging in a voluntary act of civil disobedience," Brooks told the officers who arrived at the scene. The NAACP broadcast the events live on the organization's Facebook page. WKRG of Mobile reported that the six, which included Brooks and the president of the Alabama NAACP, were charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass and released on bond.

The all-day protest ended in handcuffs but without confrontation. Brooks shook the hands of the officers and the officers allowed the protesters to kneel and pray before they were led away. Brooks criticized Sessions' prosecution of African-American voting rights activists on voter fraud charges when he was a U.S. attorney in Alabama. The group also raised concerns about immigration policies under Trump, the future of the Voting Rights Act and noted allegations — raised decades ago in Sessions unsuccessful 1986 confirmation hearing for a federal judgeship — that Sessions made racially insensitive remarks when he was a U.S. attorney.
Sarah Isgur Flores, a spokeswoman for Sessions, said in a statement that the nominee has dedicated his career to upholding the rule of law, ensuring public safety and prosecuting government corruption.
"Many African-American leaders who've known him for decades attest to this and have welcomed his nomination to be the next Attorney General. These false portrayals of Senator Sessions will fail as tired, recycled, hyperbolic charges that have been thoroughly rebuked and discredited," the statement added.
Sessions was in Washington D.C. and not in his Mobile office at the time of the protests. In testimony at the 1986 confirmation hearing, Sessions was accused by some hearing witnesses of saying the NAACP was "un-American" and saying he thought Ku Klux Klan members were "OK until I found out they smoke pot,"
Sessions said during the hearing that the Klan remark was a joke and that other remarks were mischaracterized. What he had said, Sessions said, was that civil rights groups hurt themselves when "they take positions that people think are un-American they hurt themselves." He then praised the work of the NAACP.
The demonstration marked the latest criticism of Trump's pick for attorney general. Sessions' confirmation hearings are expected to begin next week, highlighted by a vigorous push both by those favoring the nomination and those opposed to it.
Former Democratic Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, who was part of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund team representing the black civil rights activists in the voter fraud prosecution, on Tuesday urged U.S. senators to reject Sessions' nomination.

Q: regular expression - how to make lookahead pattern I need to create regular expression for validation of string containing wild cards. The expression is must be in form of mobile number (xxx-xxx-xxxx) where x is digital number or question mark. In this case regexp was straight enough ^([\d?{3}]-[\d?{3}]-[\d?{4}])$ but when user requested also * wild card, I've been really confused.
First of all it can be xxx-xxx-*, right? But xxx-xxx-** is invalid as well as xxx-*-*. I read something about lookahead pattern (writing in C#) but had been only confused more. I tried to compile something like ^(?![\\*\\*])$ - "not two asterisks near one another" but it didn't work.
So, any more ideas?

A: I'm not sure I've understood your requirement exactly but it sounds to me like you want a pattern the will match:
optionally

*

*one to three numbers or ? followed by -

*one to three numbers or ? followed by -

*one to four numbers or ? followed by -
this should match
123-456
12?-4??-78??
1-3?-2?0

but not match
1--123
-?-23
1233-23?-234

in which case you have no need for a lookahead
this pattern should work
^([\?\d]{1,3})(\-[\?\d]{1,3}(\-[\?\d]{1,4})?)?$
Try it here

A: This would your expression with some corrections
^[\d?]{3}-[\d?]{3}-[\d?]{4}$

I moved the closing square brackets, the quantifier has to be outside of the character classes, also I removed the outermost brackets, as they don't make sense.
Now to the lookaheads.
If you want to forbid "**"
^(?!.*\*\*)[\d?]{3}-[\d?]{3}-[\d?]{4}$

I am not sure about your requirements about the usage of the "*". Is only one allowed in the string?
similar to disallow "--"
^(?!.*\*\*)(?!.*--)[\d?]{3}-[\d?]{3}-[\d?]{4}$


Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat (internal energy) by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. The microscopically colliding objects, that include molecules, atoms, and electrons, transfer disorganized microscopic kinetic and potential energy, jointly known as internal energy. Conduction takes place in all phases of matter, such as solids, liquids, gases and plasmas. The rate at which energy is conducted as heat between two bodies is a function of the temperature difference (temperature gradient) between the two bodies and the properties of the conductive medium through which the heat is transferred. Thermal conduction was originally called diffusion.
Heat spontaneously flows from a hotter to a colder body. For example, heat is conducted from the hotplate of an electric stove to the bottom of a saucepan in contact with it. In the absence of an external driving energy source to the contrary, within a body or between bodies, temperature differences decay over time, and thermal equilibrium is approached, temperature becoming more uniform.
In conduction, the heat flow is within and through the body itself. In contrast, in heat transfer by thermal radiation, the transfer is often between bodies, which may be separated spatially. Also possible is transfer of heat by a combination of conduction and thermal radiation. In convection, internal energy is carried between bodies by a moving material carrier. In solids, conduction is mediated by the combination of vibrations and collisions of molecules, of propagation and collisions of phonons, and of diffusion and collisions of free electrons. In gases and liquids, conduction is due to the collisions and diffusion of molecules during their random motion. Photons in this context do not collide with one another, and so heat transport by electromagnetic radiation is conceptually distinct from heat conduction by microscopic diffusion and collisions of material particles and phonons. But the distinction is often not easily observed, unless the material is semi-transparent.
In the engineering sciences, heat transfer includes the processes of thermal radiation, convection, and sometimes mass transfer. Usually, more than one of these processes occurs in a given situation. The conventional symbol for the material property, thermal conductivity, is .
On a microscopic scale, conduction occurs within a body considered as being stationary; this means that the kinetic and potential energies of the bulk motion of the body are separately accounted for. Internal energy diffuses as rapidly moving or vibrating atoms and molecules interact with neighboring particles, transferring some of their microscopic kinetic and potential energies, these quantities being defined relative to the bulk of the body considered as being stationary. Heat is transferred by conduction when adjacent atoms or molecules collide, or as several electrons move backwards and forwards from atom to atom in a disorganized way so as not to form a macroscopic electric current, or as phonons collide and scatter. Conduction is the most significant means of heat transfer within a solid or between solid objects in thermal contact. Conduction is greater in solids because the network of relatively close fixed spatial relationships between atoms helps to transfer energy between them by vibration.
Fluids (and especially gases) are less conductive. This is due to the large distance between atoms in a gas: fewer collisions between atoms means less conduction. At low densities, the conductivity of gases can be derived from kinetic theory using rigid, non-interacting spheres and refined using Chapman-Enskog kinetic theory of gases. The conductivity of gases increases with temperature. Conductivity increases with increasing pressure from vacuum up to a critical point that the density of the gas is such that molecules of the gas may be expected to collide with each other before they transfer heat from one surface to another. After this point, conductivity increases only slightly with increasing pressure and density.
Thermal contact conductance is the study of heat conduction between solid bodies in contact. A temperature drop is often observed at the interface between the two surfaces in contact. This phenomenon is said to be a result of a thermal contact resistance existing between the contacting surfaces. Interfacial thermal resistance is a measure of an interface's resistance to thermal flow. This thermal resistance differs from contact resistance, as it exists even at atomically perfect interfaces. Understanding the thermal resistance at the interface between two materials is of primary significance in the study of its thermal properties. Interfaces often contribute significantly to the observed properties of the materials.
The inter-molecular transfer of energy could be primarily by elastic impact, as in fluids, or by free electron diffusion, as in metals, or phonon vibration, as in insulators. In insulators, the heat flux is carried almost entirely by phonon vibrations.
Metals (e.g., copper, platinum, gold, etc.) are usually good conductors of thermal energy. This is due to the way that metals bond chemically: metallic bonds (as opposed to covalent or ionic bonds) have free-moving electrons that transfer thermal energy rapidly through the metal. The electron fluid of a conductive metallic solid conducts most of the heat flux through the solid. Phonon flux is still present, but carries less of the energy. Electrons also conduct electric current through conductive solids, and the thermal and electrical conductivities of most metals have about the same ratio. A good electrical conductor, such as copper, also conducts heat well. Thermoelectricity is caused by the interaction of heat flux and electric current. Heat conduction within a solid is directly analogous to diffusion of particles within a fluid, in the situation where there are no fluid currents.
To quantify the ease with which a particular medium conducts, engineers employ the thermal conductivity, also known as the conductivity constant or conduction coefficient, k. In thermal conductivity, k is defined as "the quantity of heat, Q, transmitted in time (t) through a thickness (L), in a direction normal to a surface of area (A), due to a temperature difference (ΔT) [...]". Thermal conductivity is a material property that is primarily dependent on the medium's phase, temperature, density, and molecular bonding. Thermal effusivity is a quantity derived from conductivity, which is a measure of its ability to exchange thermal energy with its surroundings.
Steady state conduction is the form of conduction that happens when the temperature difference(s) driving the conduction are constant, so that (after an equilibration time), the spatial distribution of temperatures (temperature field) in the conducting object does not change any further. Thus, all partial derivatives of temperature with respect to space may either be zero or have nonzero values, but all derivatives of temperature at any point with respect to time are uniformly zero. In steady state conduction, the amount of heat entering any region of an object is equal to amount of heat coming out (if this were not so, the temperature would be rising or falling, as thermal energy was tapped or trapped in a region).
For example, a bar may be cold at one end and hot at the other, but after a state of steady state conduction is reached, the spatial gradient of temperatures along the bar does not change any further, as time proceeds. Instead, the temperature at any given section of the rod remains constant, and this temperature varies linearly in space, along the direction of heat transfer.
In steady state conduction, all the laws of direct current electrical conduction can be applied to "heat currents". In such cases, it is possible to take "thermal resistances" as the analog to electrical resistances. In such cases, temperature plays the role of voltage, and heat transferred per unit time (heat power) is the analog of electric current. Steady state systems can be modelled by networks of such thermal resistances in series and in parallel, in exact analogy to electrical networks of resistors. See purely resistive thermal circuits for an example of such a network.
In general, during any period in which temperatures change in time at any place within an object, the mode of thermal energy flow is termed transient conduction. Another term is "non steady-state" conduction, referring to time-dependence of temperature fields in an object. Non-steady-state situations appear after an imposed change in temperature at a boundary of an object. They may also occur with temperature changes inside an object, as a result of a new source or sink of heat suddenly introduced within an object, causing temperatures near the source or sink to change in time.
When a new perturbation of temperature of this type happens, temperatures within the system change in time toward a new equilibrium with the new conditions, provided that these do not change. After equilibrium, heat flow into the system once again equals the heat flow out, and temperatures at each point inside the system no longer change. Once this happens, transient conduction is ended, although steady-state conduction may continue if heat flow continues.
If changes in external temperatures or internal heat generation changes are too rapid for the equilibrium of temperatures in space to take place, then the system never reaches a state of unchanging temperature distribution in time, and the system remains in a transient state.
An example of a new source of heat "turning on" within an object, causing transient conduction, is an engine starting in an automobile. In this case, the transient thermal conduction phase for the entire machine is over, and the steady state phase appears, as soon as the engine reaches steady-state operating temperature. In this state of steady-state equilibrium, temperatures vary greatly from the engine cylinders to other parts of the automobile, but at no point in space within the automobile does temperature increase or decrease. After establishing this state, the transient conduction phase of heat transfer is over.
New external conditions also cause this process: for example the copper bar in the example steady-state conduction experiences transient conduction as soon as one end is subjected to a different temperature from the other. Over time, the field of temperatures inside the bar reach a new steady-state, in which a constant temperature gradient along the bar is finally set up, and this gradient then stays constant in space. Typically, such a new steady state gradient is approached exponentially with time after a new temperature-or-heat source or sink, has been introduced. When a "transient conduction" phase is over, heat flow may still continue at high power, so long as temperatures do not change.
An example of transient conduction that does not end with steady-state conduction, but rather no conduction, occurs when a hot copper ball is dropped into oil at a low temperature. Here, the temperature field within the object begins to change as a function of time, as the heat is removed from the metal, and the interest lies in analyzing this spatial change of temperature within the object over time, until all gradients disappear entirely (the ball has reached the same temperature as the oil). Mathematically, this condition is also approached exponentially; in theory it takes infinite time, but in practice it is over, for all intents and purposes, in a much shorter period. At the end of this process with no heat sink but the internal parts of the ball (which are finite), there is no steady state heat conduction to reach. Such a state never occurs in this situation, but rather the end of the process is when there is no heat conduction at all.
The analysis of non steady-state conduction systems is more complex than that of steady-state systems. If the conducting body has a simple shape, then exact analytical mathematical expressions and solutions may be possible (see heat equation for the analytical approach). However, most often, because of complicated shapes with varying thermal conductivities within the shape (i.e., most complex objects, mechanisms or machines in engineering) often the application of approximate theories is required, and/or numerical analysis by computer. One popular graphical method involves the use of Heisler Charts.
Occasionally, transient conduction problems may be considerably simplified if regions of the object being heated or cooled can be identified, for which thermal conductivity is very much greater than that for heat paths leading into the region. In this case, the region with high conductivity can often be treated in the lumped capacitance model, as a "lump" of material with a simple thermal capacitance consisting of its aggregate heat capacity. Such regions warm or cool, but show no significant temperature variation across their extent, during the process (as compared to the rest of the system). This is due to their far higher conductance. During transient conduction, therefore, the temperature across their conductive regions changes uniformly in space, and as a simple exponential in time. An example of such systems are those that follow Newton's law of cooling during transient cooling (or the reverse during heating). The equivalent thermal circuit consists of a simple capacitor in series with a resistor. In such cases, the remainder of the system with high thermal resistance (comparatively low conductivity) plays the role of the resistor in the circuit.
The theory of relativistic heat conduction is a model that is compatible with the theory of special relativity. For most of the last century, it was recognized that the Fourier equation is in contradiction with the theory of relativity because it admits an infinite speed of propagation of heat signals. For example, according to the Fourier equation, a pulse of heat at the origin would be felt at infinity instantaneously. The speed of information propagation is faster than the speed of light in vacuum, which is physically inadmissible within the framework of relativity.
Second sound is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which heat transfer occurs by wave-like motion, rather than by the more usual mechanism of diffusion. Heat takes the place of pressure in normal sound waves. This leads to a very high thermal conductivity. It is known as "second sound" because the wave motion of heat is similar to the propagation of sound in air.
The law of heat conduction, also known as Fourier's law, states that the time rate of heat transfer through a material is proportional to the negative gradient in the temperature and to the area, at right angles to that gradient, through which the heat flows. We can state this law in two equivalent forms: the integral form, in which we look at the amount of energy flowing into or out of a body as a whole, and the differential form, in which we look at the flow rates or fluxes of energy locally.
Newton's law of cooling is a discrete analog of Fourier's law, while Ohm's law is the electrical analogue of Fourier's law.
The differential form of Fourier's law of thermal conduction shows that the local heat flux density, , is equal to the product of thermal conductivity, , and the negative local temperature gradient, . The heat flux density is the amount of energy that flows through a unit area per unit time.
is the temperature gradient, K·m−1.
The thermal conductivity, , is often treated as a constant, though this is not always true. While the thermal conductivity of a material generally varies with temperature, the variation can be small over a significant range of temperatures for some common materials. In anisotropic materials, the thermal conductivity typically varies with orientation; in this case is represented by a second-order tensor. In non-uniform materials, varies with spatial location.
is the distance between the ends.
This law forms the basis for the derivation of the heat equation.
where U is the conductance, in W/(m2 K).
For heat conduction from one fluid to another through a barrier, it is sometimes important to consider the conductance of the thin film of fluid that remains stationary next to the barrier. This thin film of fluid is difficult to quantify because its characteristics depend upon complex conditions of turbulence and viscosity—but when dealing with thin high-conductance barriers it can sometimes be quite significant.
The previous conductance equations, written in terms of extensive properties, can be reformulated in terms of intensive properties. Ideally, the formulae for conductance should produce a quantity with dimensions independent of distance, like Ohm's Law for electrical resistance, , and conductance, .
From the electrical formula: , where ρ is resistivity, x is length, and A is cross-sectional area, we have , where G is conductance, k is conductivity, x is length, and A is cross-sectional area.
where U is the conductance.
The rules for combining resistances and conductances (in series and in parallel) are the same for both heat flow and electric current.
Conduction through cylindrical shells (e.g. pipes) can be calculated from the internal radius, , the external radius, , the length, , and the temperature difference between the inner and outer wall, .
and , where . It is important to note that this is the log-mean radius.
The conduction through a spherical shell with internal radius, , and external radius, , can be calculated in a similar manner as for a cylindrical shell.
The heat transfer coefficient, h, is measured in , and represents the transfer of heat at an interface between two materials. This value is different at every interface, and is an important concept in understanding heat flow at an interface.
The Biot number increases as the Fourier number decreases. There are five steps to determine a temperature profile in terms of time.
Determine which relative depth matters, either x or L.
Convert time to the Fourier number.
Convert to relative temperature with the boundary conditions.
Compared required point to trace specified Biot number on the nomogram.
Splat cooling is a fundamental concept that has been adapted for practical use in the form of thermal spraying. The thermal diffusivity coefficient, represented as , can be written as . This varies according to the material.
Metal quenching is a transient heat transfer process in terms of the Time Temperature Transformation (TTT). It is possible to manipulate the cooling process to adjust the phase of a suitable material. For example, appropriate quenching of steel can convert a desirable proportion of its content of austenite to martensite, creating a very tough product. To achieve this, it is necessary to quench at the "nose" (or eutectic) of the TTT diagram. Since materials differ in their Biot numbers, the time it takes for the material to quench, or the Fourier number, varies in practice. In steel, the quenching temperature range is generally from 600 °C to 200 °C. To control the quenching time and to select suitable quenching media, it is necessary to determine the Fourier number from the desired quenching time, the relative temperature drop, and the relevant Biot number. Usually, the correct figures are read from a standard nomogram. By calculating the heat transfer coefficient from this Biot number, one can find a liquid medium suitable for the application.
All diathermal walls are equivalent."
A diathermal wall is a physical connection between two bodies that allows the passage of heat between them. Bailyn is referring to diathermal walls that exclusively connect two bodies, especially conductive walls.
This statement of the 'zeroth law' belongs to an idealized theoretical discourse, and actual physical walls may have peculiarities that do not conform to its generality.
For example, the material of the wall must not undergo a phase transition, such as evaporation or fusion, at the temperature at which it must conduct heat. But when only thermal equilibrium is considered and time is not urgent, so that the conductivity of the material does not matter too much, one suitable heat conductor is as good as another. Conversely, another aspect of the zeroth law is that, subject again to suitable restrictions, a given diathermal wall is indifferent to the nature of the heat bath to which it is connected. For example, the glass bulb of a thermometer acts as a diathermal wall whether exposed to a gas or to a liquid, provided they do not corrode or melt it.
These indifferences are amongst the defining characteristics of heat transfer. In a sense, they are symmetries of heat transfer.

D&D – "Media Literacy Matters"
Earlier this week, Ethan Gilsdorf, the author of the author of Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks, wrote about the 14 life lessons he had learned from playing "Dungeons & Dragons". According to him, the game taught him about purpose, imagination, and having a great adventure.
Life is an adventure that requires creativity and imagination, both of which are important tools that help people become successful in life.
Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), as well as many other fantasy tabletop roleplaying games emphasize storytelling and collaboration. Like Gilsdorf explained, diversity plays an important role in games such as D&D because various races such as humans, dwarves, and elves need to learn to work together in order to succeed and survive on their adventures.
Previously, I stressed the importance of creativity in education as well as in the workplace.
I explained how interactive games and tabletop roleplaying games can be used as a teaching tool to promote storytelling and foster creativity and learning.
I wrote in Interactive games and tabletop roleplaying games as a teaching tool, about several important lessons that can be learned by playing roleplaying games. I knew a science teacher who organized an after school club to teach his students how to play D&D. He believes that these games provide students with educational benefits and can change their lives. These games can be alternatives to less productive hobbies or activities, such as drugs, gangs, etc. I also wrote about an individual who believes D&D saved his life and kept him out of prison.
Roleplaying can motivate students and encourage them to want to learn. These games can teach them about vocabulary, math, public speaking, and teamwork. They are effective teaching tools because people engage in learning more when they are actively participating.
As I stressed earlier, roleplaying games encourage people to work together and learn from one another. Together, they make these imaginary worlds come to life. In these games, every individual plays an important role and without teamwork, these adventures cannot take place.
D&D and other forms of tabletop roleplaying games are about storytelling, which is an important form of media that teaches critical thinking skills and helps people improve their communications skills.
These games encourage creativity and give people a chance to learn by doing something fun. They give people a chance to see how they can create meaning in what they are learning.
Creativity and critical thinking are important skills that help people become successful on their adventures in life.
Interactive games and tabletop roleplaying games can be used as a teaching tool to promote storytelling and foster creativity and learning.
Every student has a different style of learning but an effective strategy to motivate all students is to focus on how students can create meaning in what they are learning. By incorporating the constructivist learning theory into the curriculum, educators can help students learn beyond the classroom experience and encourage creativity.
Storytelling is an important form of media that teaches critical thinking skills and helps people improve their communications skills. More importantly, it encourages students to be creative and gives them a chance to learn by doing something fun.
At the 2011 Gifted and Talented Symposium held in Austin, TX, Bonnie Cramond, a professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Georgia discussed how she used interactive fantasy games to teach mythology. Using a simplified version of Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), she gave her middle school students a chance to collaborate and learn material in a different way. She discovered that her students would read the myths (they weren't assigned readings), thinking that they could gain an advantage in the game (Mewes, 2011).
There is a boarding school in Denmark that developed its curriculum around roleplaying. Østerskov Efterskole (Østerskov School) provides their students with an opportunity to learn and express their creativity. According to the school's website, their goal is to use roleplaying as a teaching method for all academic subjects.
For many years, a friend of mine who is a high school science teacher organized an after school club to teach students how to play D&D and other roleplaying games. He believes that these games not alone provide students with educational benefits; they can change their lives. These games can be alternatives to less productive hobbies or activities, such as drugs, gangs, etc.
I know an individual who believes D&D saved his life and kept him out of prison. This individual once had a quick temper and would often let his anger dominate him. Instead of acting out his aggression, the game allowed him to focus his emotions on characters within the game. Creativity defines his identity. Ever since he was a child, he was a storyteller. He would make up fantastic stories about science and fantasy. His favorite part of these role-playing games is being able to create worlds, cities, and cultures.
There are other types of games that can be used to encourage storytelling and creativity. An example would be Rory's Story Cubes, a game that uses dice to tell a story. With this game, nine six-sided dice are used and each side has a different image (54 different images) that can be used to inspire the storyteller.
Roleplaying and storytelling can be used to motivate students and encourage them to want to learn. Roleplaying games can teach students about vocabulary, math, public speaking, teamwork, and about dealing with loss and success. These games are effective because students engage in learning more when they are actively participating and it is important to work with their interests.
Roleplaying games also encourage students to work together and learn from one another. Together, they make these imaginary worlds come alive. It is often believed that only individuals can truly be considered creative. However, teamwork can be an important aspect of creativity. Berleson (1965) used a description about theatrical productions that seems rather appropriate to compare to. He explained that a group could not have created Shakespeare's work, but it takes a team to perform them. In D&D, every person plays an important role. Without teamwork, these adventures do not happen.
"Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable" (Jung,  1971, p. 82).

BRANDING AND LAUNCH OF A NEW FMCG PRODUCT
IN COLLABORATION WITH DS ENTEGRE
LOGO & PACKAGING DESIGN
IPAY, a pasteurized egg company with a strong reputation within the B2B sector in Turkey, decided to enter the retail market with solid eggs. Knowing that the per capita consumption in Turkey is lower than average, and that many kids make problems to eat eggs, they wanted to use a different packaging that would truly challenge the category. Therefore, they partnered with Eggyplay to distribute the eggs in their unique and innovative packaging:
FROM MOTHERS TO MOTHERS
We created the communication strategy based on Ipay's main differentiating value proposition. Indeed, the fact that the company is led by women and, more precisely, mothers, is exceptional in Turkey where less than a third of women work and only a small percentage of them are in managerial positions. For a brand which primary target market are mothers, it made a lot of sense to build our strategy around this strength.
BRAND AWARENESS THROUGH BRAND LOVE
Because the product itself remains within the industry standards, the true value of the brand lays in the packaging and in its emotional attributes. This is why we decided to focus our Social Media strategy on creating contents which would provide an emotional bond with our target audience: 26 to 46 Turkish mothers.
From stock photos and illustrations we created unique contents which generated thousands of Likes and Loves..
As a result, we grew from 0 to 15.000 fans and from 0 to over 200,000 engagements in less than a year. We led this new-born brand to reach over a million people, winning a devoted community of fans.

Securitisation is a process by which a loan portfolio is transferred by a lender (Bank / NBFC) to a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), which is mainly set up as a trust. RBI guidelines on securitisation were issued in 2006.The Trust raises monies from the proposed investors ('PTC holders') and remits the same to the lender towards purchase consideration for the loans. The Trust converts the pool of loans into securitised debt and issues pass through certificates to the PTC holders, which would be serviced out of the cash flows from the obligers towards repayment of the loans. Post transfer of loan, the original lender acts as a minimum investor and servicer, and co-ordinates interest and principal payment. The main objective of the securitisation process is to improve capital adequacy ratio of the original lender (mainly Banks / NBFCs).
Capital requirements of corporates are dependent on their business model.

Trump Threatens To Veto Defense Bill If Congress Does Not Repeal Section 230 • JoshWho News
Trump Threatens to Veto Defense Bill if Congress Does Not Repeal Section 230
Tags: censorship, Donald Trump, Elections, Featured, Nation, National Defense Authorization Act, NDAA, Politics, Section 230, Social Media, Tweets, Twitter
Categories: censorship Donald Trump Elections Featured JoshWho News Nation National Defense Authorization Act NDAA Politics Saraa Carter Section 230 Social Media Tweets Twitter
President Donald Trump has threatened to veto the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the annual defense spending bill, unless Congress agrees to repeal Section 230.
The president tweeted Tuesday night that Section 230, is "a serious threat to our National Security & Election Integrity."
He added "our country can never be safe or secure if we allow it to stand."
Section 230, which is a liability shielding gift from the U.S. to "Big Tech" (the only companies in America that have it – corporate welfare!), is a serious threat to our National Security & Election Integrity. Our Country can never be safe & secure if we allow it to stand…..
Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act provides tech companies with liability protections against illegal content posted by third-party users.
It shields companies from being sued and also allows platforms to moderate their content.
"If the very dangerous & unfair Section 230 is not completely terminated as part of the National Defense Authorization Act . . . I will be forced to unequivocally VETO the Bill," Trump continued.
…..Therefore, if the very dangerous & unfair Section 230 is not completely terminated as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), I will be forced to unequivocally VETO the Bill when sent to the very beautiful Resolute desk. Take back America NOW. Thank you!
Trump has been very critical of Section 230, arguing that it provides a loophole that prevents companies from being held accountable and has led to the censorship of conservatives. Trump's threat to veto the NDAA is his latest move in his battle against the social media companies.
Social media and tech giants claim that Section 230 is critical to their continued existence. Still, critics of the big tech giants point out that because Twitter, Facebook and Google, for example, operate as publishers, they no longer deserve immunity from content uploaded by third parties.
The CEOs of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey, met with the Senate Commerce Committee in October to talk about Section 230.
"Section 230 is the most important law protecting internet speech. In removing Section 230, we will remove speech from the internet," Dorsey said during his testimony.
Zuckerberg said they were open to working with Congress to update update the law to make sure it is working as intended.
Lawmakers on the NDAA conference committee are set to meet Wednesday to discuss the legislation.
