Request for Comments (RFC) 3775 defines Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), which allows an IPv6 node to remain reachable regardless of its location on an IPv6 network and whether the nodes with which the Mobile IPv6 node is communicating also support Mobile IPv6.
When a node becomes mobile, such as a wireless-enabled laptop computer that roams between different portions of a wireless network, there are mechanisms to ensure that the mobile node has a relevant address for the network segment (subnet) to which it is attached. For IPv6, these mechanisms include stateless address autoconfiguration through router discovery and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6). After detecting that it is on a new link of a wireless network, the roaming wireless node uses router discovery, DHCPv6, or both to configure IPv6 addresses, the addresses of neighboring IPv6 default routers, and other configuration parameters.
Although the mobile node can automatically reconfigure itself for the new link to which it is attached, Transport layer connections, such as TCP connections, that were made using the roaming node's previous address can no longer be used. The previous address is no longer valid for the new network segment and the existing TCP connections must be abandoned. Applications must make new connections using the newly assigned address. Depending on the application, a sudden change in IPv6 address configuration can cause the application to stop working, requiring the user to stop and restart the application.
For true roaming support, an IPv6 node must support both auto-reconfiguration and Transport layer connection survivability. Rather than providing Transport layer survivability by modifying applications or Transport layer protocols such as TCP, the solution offered by Mobile IPv6 is to extend IPv6 so that Transport layer protocols and applications are unaware of changes in IPv6 address configuration. In Mobile IPv6, applications and Transport layer protocols use an IPv6 address that is assigned to the Mobile IPv6 node that does not change, regardless of the mobile node's location and current address configuration.
The following figure shows the components of Mobile IPv6.
Mobile node An IPv6 node that can change links, and therefore addresses, and maintain reachability using its home address.
Home link The link from which the mobile node originates.
Home address An address assigned to the mobile node when it is attached to the home link and through which the mobile node is always reachable, regardless of its location on an IPv6 network. Because the mobile node is always assigned the home address, it is always logically connected to the home link.
Home agent A router on the home link that maintains registrations of mobile nodes that are away from home and their current addresses. Although the figure shows the home agent as the router connecting the home link to an IPv6 network, the home agent does not have to serve this function. The home agent can also be a node on the home link that does not perform any forwarding when the mobile is connected to the home link.
Foreign link A link that is not the mobile node's home link.
Care-of address An address used by a mobile node while it is attached to a foreign link. The association of a home address with a care-of address for a mobile node is known as a binding.
Correspondent node An IPv6 node that communicates with a mobile node. A correspondent node does not have to be Mobile IPv6-capable.
Correspondent nodes that are Mobile IPv6-capable and home agents maintain information about bindings in a binding cache. Mobile nodes maintain information about correspondent nodes in a binding update list.
Note The IPv6 network in the previous figure can be the IPv6 Internet, an IPv6-capable portion of a private intranet, or a public or private IPv4 infrastructure when using an IPv6 transition technology such as 6to4, Intra-site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP), or Teredo. For more information, see IPv6 Transition Technologies.
If the correspondent node is not Mobile IPv6-capable or a correspondent registration is not yet complete, data packets are sent to the mobile node's home address. Correspondent registrations are described in the Correspondent Registration Process section of this article. The home agent intercepts the data packets and tunnels them using IPv6-over-IPv6 tunneling to the mobile node's care-of address.
If the correspondent node is Mobile IPv6-capable and a correspondent registration has been completed, data packets are sent directly to the mobile node's location on the IPv6 network. The data packets include a new Type 2 Routing extension header that contains the mobile node's home address.
If the correspondent node is not Mobile IPv6-capable or a correspondent registration is not yet complete, data packets are tunneled using IPv6-over-IPv6 tunneling to home agent, which forwards them to the correspondent node.
If the correspondent node is Mobile IPv6-capable and a correspondent registration has been completed, data packets are sent directly to the correspondent node. The data packets include a new Home Address option in a Destination Options header that contains the mobile node's home address.
The tunneling of packets between the correspondent node and the mobile node via the home agent is known as bidirectional tunneling. Bidirectional tunneling ensures that the mobile node is always reachable when it is away from home, even if the correspondent node is not Mobile IPv6-capable. However, bidirectional tunneling can cause significant transmission delays.
The sending of packets directly between a mobile node and a Mobile IPv6-capable correspondent node is known as route optimization. Route optimization eliminates the transmission delays associated with bidirectional tunneling and is needed to provide sufficient performance for time-sensitive traffic, such as Voice over IP (VoIP).
The following figure shows a mobile node and a correspondent node exchanging data packets using bidirectional tunneling and route optimization.
To provide proof that the mobile node is reachable at both its home address and its care-of address, the mobile node and the correspondent node perform the Return Routability procedure. The proof is needed to defend against various types of connection hijacking and denial-of-service attacks. During the Return Routability procedure, the mobile node sends two different test packets to the correspondent node. One is sent through the home agent and one is sent directly to the correspondent node. The correspondent node sends responses to the test packets, each response containing a cryptographic token.
After the Return Routability procedure is complete, the mobile node sends a Mobile IPv6 Binding Update message to the correspondent node. The Binding Update message includes authentication data calculated using the cryptographic tokens sent by the correspondent node during the Return Routability procedure. The correspondent node validates the authentication data. This validation is not strong cryptographic authentication, but is sufficient to prevent most types of attacks. If the authentication data is valid, the correspondent node adds an entry to its binding cache for the mobile node and sends a Binding Acknowledgement message.
Upon receipt of the Binding Acknowledgement message, the mobile node adds an entry to its binding update list for the correspondent node.
After the correspondent registration process is complete, the mobile node and correspondent node can send data packets to each other using route optimization.
To show how Mobile IPv6 provides Transport layer connection survivability, let us examine what happens to an existing TCP connection when a mobile IPv6 node moves from its home link to a foreign link. To simplify the discussion in this example, we will only describe in detail the set of messages exchanged between the mobile node and the correspondent node. For detailed information about Mobile IPv6 processes, see Understanding Mobile IPv6.
After sensing a change in the link to which Node A is connected and obtaining a care-of address, Node A exchanges a set of Binding Update and Binding Acknowledgement messages with its home agent. The home agent adds an entry to its binding cache for Node A, storing its home address and care-of address. This is known as a home registration.
For this example, Node B sends a TCP segment for the existing TCP connection to Node A. Because Node B has not yet been informed that Node A has changed its location, Node B sends the TCP segment to Node A's home address.
Because the home agent has a binding cache entry for Node A's home address, the home agent intercepts the TCP segment and tunnels it to Node A's care-of address.
After receiving the TCP segment tunneled via the home agent, Node A begins the correspondent registration process, including the Return Routability procedure and the exchange of Binding Update and Binding Acknowledgement messages.
During the correspondent registration process, TCP segments sent between the mobile node and the correspondent node are bidirectionally tunneled through the home agent.
After the correspondent registration is complete, the mobile node has an entry for the correspondent node in its binding update list and the correspondent node has an entry for the mobile node in its binding cache.
Node A and Node B exchange subsequent TCP segments using route optimization.
If Node B is not Mobile IPv6-capable, then the correspondent registration process fails and all TCP segments that are sent between Node A and Node B are bidirectionally tunneled.
During the roaming, the TCP connection initially established between the mobile node's home address and the correspondent node's address remains intact. There might be TCP segments that are dropped during step 1, in which there is a delay when Node A is sensing the link change, obtaining a new care-of address, and performing home registration. However, these segments are retransmitted by TCP.
Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 1, Windows XP with Service Pack 2, and Windows Server 2003 include only correspondent node support based on version 13 of the now obsolete Mobile IPv6 Internet draft. For more information, see Chapter 12 of the Understanding IPv6 Microsoft Press book.

Tea Time with Tagwa: Environmentally conscious fashion is unaffordable to the poor
September 22, 2021 Opinions Editor Opinion, Opinions, Opinions, Tea Time with Tagwa 1
Illustration by Karly Andersen
Tagwa Shammet, Opinions Editor
Tea timers, fashion has been around since the dawn of time. From the first realization of the need for clothes in prehistoric times, to the reveal of new gowns during royal times; from expressive fashion during the Civil Rights era to catwalk shows at New York Fashion Week — fashion is everywhere.
The desire to stay fashionable has become a priority to our younger generations. However, the absolute need to keep up with the ever-changing fashion trends has become a plague on our society; specifically taking a toll on our depleting natural resources and harming our environment.
Prior to the industrial revolution and its inevitable evolution into mass production, clothes used to last individuals nearly half a lifetime. That is, those who could afford clothes. In older times, only the upper class could afford to be draped in the best of what fashion had to offer. A majority of the population wore whatever they could afford.
That reality doesn't seem to have changed much throughout time. Today, we still see segregation in fashion. Not racial segregation, but economic segregation. As trends continue to dawn catwalks all across the world, those on the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum find themselves falling behind trends.
However, "fast fashion" stores and sites such as H&M, Forever 21 and SHEIN have made a popular resurgence. With their mass production of new stylish trends that replicate high fashion almost daily, staying fashionable on a budget has proven a bit easier.
Yet, even with the benefits of fast fashion, a new issue has arisen: Fast fashion is deteriorating our environment.
Fast fashion has been shown to produce a large carbon footprint, which in turn only worsens global warming and climate change. In 2019, Insider reported that the fashion industry is the cause of 10% of our carbon emission. It is also the second biggest consumer of the world's water supply and continues to pollute our oceans.
Furthermore, it has been identified as an ethical issue due to the human rights violations present in sweatshops. According to the International Labour Organization, 170 million children across the world are engaged in child labor. This labor is defined as work that is unacceptable for children. Many of these children work within the fashion world, helping produce textiles and other garments to be distributed.
Overall, fast fashion has been looked down upon. And yet, fast fashion companies are continuing to make an astounding amount of money. In fact, since it was founded in 2008, SHEIN has grown into a $15 billion company.
And yet, while the disapproval of fast fashion from an environmental standpoint is validated, these stores and sites provide a feasible shopping experience for poorer people.
In a previous story of mine — Tea Time with Tagwa: Caring about the environment is a privilege not many have — I wrote about intersectional environmentalism. I discussed how the conversation of climate change and the overall health of our environment cannot happen without understanding race and economic stability.
So, let's compare some prices. A simple satin dress. A classic, staple item that can be dressed up or dressed down.
At REVOLVE — a designer clothing brand — a satin dress costs $260.
At Macy's — a department store — a satin dress costs $108.
At Forever 21 — a fast fashion retailer — a satin dress costs $22.99.
Finally, at SHEIN — a fast fashion website — a satin dress costs $8.
While I understand the desire to stay environmentally conscious, paying $260 for a dress that I could similarly get for $8 seems ridiculous.
I am a college student at a university that prides itself in its tasteful fashion trends. Therefore, I'm constantly buying new clothes to keep up with the trends. As much as I care about our environment, I don't have the privilege to spend half my rent money on a dress.
The same can be said for poorer people, some that even live in the streets of our Richmond city. Staying clothed and fed is the priority; unfortunately, the effects on the environment take a back seat.
Another option for poorer people is to visit thrift stores. It helps eliminate the environmental insensitivity present with fast fashion, while also providing affordable clothing options. However, thrifting has been exploited by financially stable people and turned into a for-profit business.
I can't even tell you how many times I've gotten on TikTok to see well-off white women buying up trendy items from Goodwill just to resell them on websites such as Depop for double or even triple the original price.
This isn't innovative — it's robbery. These people are snatching up all of the affordable and trendy clothes and reselling them for astronomical prices just to pocket some cash they honestly don't need. In the process, people who thrift because they have no other choice are left with the bottom of the barrel.
Staying trendy, yet environmentally conscious, is unfortunately a privilege that many people cannot afford. So, next time you decide to flip your thrifted Gucci, remember that. And that's the tea.

Have you been betrayed or someone you know. Anyone is vulnerable to being betrayed either form a boyfriend, husband, friends, family or even work colleagues. Either way, no matter who has betrayed you it hurts. This article will try and help those who have been betrayed and learn how to get over it. There are some simple and worthwhile steps to take to help yourself learn to get over the betrayal. In many cases, it will affect you when the ones you thought once cared for you breaks your trust or confidence and causes conflict within the relationship. At that point, you think there is no going back. You feel as if the relationship is over and its lost forever.
Anyone who has been betrayed will know you go through a whirlwind of emotions, its almost as if your being touched by the different seasons. You're angry at first then the anger subsides, then the questions set in and self-doubt. If your anything like me you will experience a feeling of darkness, life stands still, the light at the end of the tunnel keeps growing in distance. Laughing seems like a distance memory, those who betrayed you will never be apart of your life. They violated your trust they broke their promise. You may never be able to trust again because you never want to feel broken again.
First thing is first please allow yourself to feel and absorb all those emotions, let them flow through you as if it's like water. Don't ever think for one second that you should keep them to yourself. Make sure you talk to someone it doesn't matter who just talk and let you're feeling out. I promise this will help in the long run. This will be hard to hear but once you are in control of your emotions the next few steps will help you immensely.
Learn to let go of the pain and only way you can do this is by letting go (exactly the way Anna does in Frozen) seriously you have to LET IT GO. Do not let the pain take over your life. Try to be in control and do not let it win.
The decision will be yours and only yours to make. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. They didn't go through it you did! Let go of the negative feelings it drags you down. Focus on yourself instead of the person who hurt you.
There is no time limit and pain like this will not just disappear on their own you have to work at it. Take each day at a time don't rush. Digest all that you feel and then allow it to escape don't hold on to it.
Its so easy to try and blame others but that I see as wasting your energy on a lost cause. It does not benefit you, it doesn't change the situation. You can switch the focus from blaming others to understanding yourself.
Forgiveness is a really powerful skill, this is something that is taught and practiced. Its known that those who learn to forgive lead a happier and healthier life. I am still learning to forgive for something that happened over 17 years ago. I still struggle to come to terms with it as it affects me daily in one way or another. I wasn't born with perfect social competence. Its challenging to choose positive emotions over negative ones.
I have learnt that you must live in the present it's so easy to dwell on the past but learn to live in the here and now and enjoy what you have . Focus on the present, and leave it behind do not allow yourself to be clouded by the past.
My aim of this was to help someone to understand that they are able to learn ways in which they can help themselves. It's helped me and I wanted to do the same for you too. Please comment below and let me know what you think and if I helped at all in any shape or form. If there is anyone you know who may have suffered or is suffering and can benefit from this then please forward this to them.
I just want to say I'm beginner to weblog and honestly enjoyed this web blog. Likely I'm planning to bookmark your blog . You absolutely come with exceptional articles. Thanks for revealing your web page.

Oldest stone tools raise questions about their creators
The 3.3-million-year-old implements predate the first members of the Homo genus.
Ewen Callaway
Source - http://www.nature.com/news/oldest-stone-tools-raise-questions-about-their-creators-1.17369
Excavators at Lomekwi, Kenya, in 2011
The oldest stone tools on record may spell the end for the theory that complex toolmaking began with the genus Homo, to which humans belong. The 3.3-million-year-old artefacts, revealed at a conference in California last week, predate the first members of Homo, and suggest that more-ancient hominin ancestors had the intelligence and dexterity to craft sophisticated tools.
"This is a landmark discovery pertaining to one of the key evolutionary milestones," says Zeresenay Alemseged, a palaeoanthropologist at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, who attended the talk at the annual meeting of the Paleoanthropology Society in San Francisco, on 14 April.
More than 80 years ago, anthropologist Louis Leakey found stone tools in Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. Decades later, he and his wife Mary and their team found bones from a species that the Leakeys named Homo habilis — 'the handy man'. This led to the prevailing view that human stone-tool use began with Homo, a group that includes modern humans and their big-brained and tall forebears. The oldest of these Oldowan tools date to 2.6 million years ago — around the time of the earliest Homo fossils. Climate upheavals that transformed dense forest into open savannah might have catalysed ancient humans into developing the new technology so that they could hunt or scavenge grass-eating animals, the theory goes.
Chimpanzees and other non-human primates use stones to crack nuts, for instance, but their tools lack the craftsmanship of the Oldowan toolmakers, who would strike one rock against another, breaking off flakes to leave a sharp-edged stone core.
In 2010, Alemseged and his team reported an intriguing find at a site called Dikika in Ethiopia (S. P. McPherron et al. Nature 466,857–860; 2010). They saw cut marks on bones from 3.4 million years ago, when ape-like creatures such as Australopithecus afarensis — the same species as the famous fossil called Lucy — roamed eastern Africa. This hinted at even earlier manufacturing of stone tools. Other researchers questioned the find, attributing the marks to natural wear and tear such as trampling, or bites inflicted by crocodiles.
Aware of this controversy, a team led by Sonia Harmand of Stony Brook University in New York set out in 2011 to find tools older than 3 million years, at a site west of Kenya's Lake Turkana. On a July day, the team took a wrong turn and happened upon a patch of land that seemed worth exploring. By tea time, they had found pieces of rock lying on the ground that looked like flakes left over from the manufacture of stone tools. Careful excavation of the patch revealed 19 buried artefacts, including stone core forms, and dozens more on the surface. One key surface find was a small rock flake, which fitted in a gap in a buried core as snugly as a jigsaw puzzle piece, confirming that the tools were made through a flaking process.
The tools come from sediments that Harmand's team dated to around 3.3 million years ago and are much larger than the Oldowan artefacts: some weigh as much as 15 kilograms. The team concluded that the tools represent a distinct culture, which they have named the Lomekwian culture after the site where the implements were found. "Lomekwi marks a new beginning to the known archaeological record," Harmand said at the meeting.
Hominin fossils and cut-marked animal bones have not been found at the site, so the team cannot yet say who made the tools or how they were used. But their discovery may deliver a fatal blow to the already fragile idea that complex toolmaking began with Homo. Harmand suggests that earlier species, such as Kenyanthropus platyops, bones of which have been found on the western shore of Lake Turkana, and A. afarensis, may have made tools by building on the cruder abilities seen in apes and monkeys. The Lomekwi tools were made in a forest environment, also questioning the idea that open landscapes catalysed tool use, said Harmand.
Alemseged sees the Lomekwi tools as vindication for his team's controversial find of cut-marked bones. Before Harmand's presentation, Alemseged's colleague Jessica Thompson, an archaeologist at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, presented an analysis of other animal bones from Dikika. None contained similar patterns to those reported in 2010, suggesting that the marks were made by something other than wear and tear — probably by tools.
The Lomekwi talk left David Braun, an archaeologist at George Washington University in Washington DC, itching for further details. He says that the tools look authentic, as does the date that Harmand and her team assert. The identity of their makers has aroused his curiosity: "What the hell do these things look like if they can use 15-kilogram tools?"
But he is most interested in what the Lomekwi tools meant for their creators. Did they offer an advantage over the other hominins that were around at the time, or was toolmaking more common 3 million to 4 million years ago than existing evidence suggests? "They're a game-changer," he adds, "no matter what."

POP star Keith Duffy has revealed he turned down a major acting role in Game of Thrones - for his pal Brian McFadden.
The Irish singer and actor was offered a role in the upcoming season of one of the world's biggest TV shows but rejected the proposal as he was set to tour Boyzlife with McFadden.

Regarding the TV role, Duffy said: "I was asked to audition for a very big part in season seven of Game Of Thrones last October, but we had already signed up for the Boyzlife tour.
"Brian is like a brother to me and there was no question I would pull out.
"The Boyzlife tours are such good fun. I wouldn't want to miss them for anything."
The 42-year-old Dubliner's biggest acting highlight is his role in Coronation Street.
Duffy with fellow Boyzlife member Brian McFaddenn
The former Boyzone member played chef Ciaran McCarthy for ten years in the British soap, and also made appearances in Irish soap Fair City and medical drama The Clinic.
Duffy also recounted a tale where the Boyzone singers accidentally spent a fortune on blankets for their fans.
Speaking to the Scottish Sun, Duffy said: "When we were in Amsterdam we always stayed in a hotel called The American Hotel.
"There would be four foot of snow outside, with all these girls sleeping in the doorways.

"I remember this one time we ended up with this huge hotel bill as we'd had a few drinks and were partying in one of the rooms when we looked out the window and saw all these girls who were f*****g freezing.
"You know how in hotel wardrobes they always have spare blankets in case you get cold during the night? We took all the blankets out all of our various rooms and passed them out the window to the fans.
"There must have been at least 15 or 20 blankets and we found out about four weeks later that the hotel had charged us something like £1,500 for each blanket.
"So by the time we had got to One Devonshire we had kind of learned our lesson."

CS/SB 7066 — Election Administration
by Rules Committee and Ethics and Elections Committee
This summary is provided for information only and does not represent the opinion of any Senator, Senate Officer, or Senate Office.
Prepared by: Ethics and Elections Committee (EE)
The bill makes substantive changes to the Florida Election Code and implements Amendment 4 to the Florida Constitution, which was approved by the voters of Florida on November 6, 2018, restoring the voting rights of certain convicted felons. Major provisions of the bill include:
Voting Rights Restoration (Amendment 4)
Modifies the voting application to require a person to make an affirmative statement that he or she has been convicted of a felony and if so, has obtained his or her right to vote pursuant to executive clemency or Art. VI, s. 4, of the State Constitution.
Defines which offenses constitute "murder" and "felony sexual offenses" under the new constitutional provision.
Provides that voting rights are restored upon "completion of all terms of sentence", meaning completion of any portion of a sentence within the four corners of the sentencing document:
o Nonmonetary (imprisonment, probation/community control, monitored supervision [including parole], any other term); and,
o Monetary (victim's restitution, court-ordered fines/fees, any other term).
Specifies that restitution, fines, and fees ordered by the court do not include any fines, fees, or costs accrued after the date of the sentence.
Specifies that restitution, fines, and fees be completed in the following manner or in any combination thereof: actual payment; upon the payee's approval, the termination of such financial obligation by the court; or completion of all community service hours, if the court, unless otherwise prohibited by law, converts the financial obligation to community service.
Authorizes the court to make certain modifications of the financial obligations to provide relief, provided such modifications do not infringe on a defendant's or victim's constitutional rights, but clarifies that this provision does not apply to the conversion of financial obligations to civil liens.
Provides in s. 98.0751, F.S., that the Department of State (DOS) makes the initial determination on whether the information is credible and reliable regarding whether a person is eligible to vote under Art. VI, s. 4, of the State Constitution, and forwards such to the supervisor of elections.
Provides in s. 98.0751, F.S., that the supervisor of elections (supervisor) verifies and makes the final determination whether a person who registers to vote is eligible under Art. VI, s. 4, of the State Constitution. The supervisor may request additional assistance from the DOS in making the final determination.
Grants registrants immunity from prosecution for submitting false voter registration information regarding their eligibility following a felony conviction on registration applications submitted from January 8, 2019 (effective date of Amendment 4) until before July 1, 2019 (effective date of the bill).
Mandates that the state and county notify convicted felons of the outstanding terms of their sentence with respect to voting eligibility, upon release from custody/supervision.
Voting Systems/disability voting: Mandates that voters with disabilities cast a ballot on voting systems that produce a voter verifiable paper output (VVPO) for canvassing and recount purposes; and, authorizing the general use of such VVPO touchscreen systems by all voters, not just those with disabilities.
Voting Systems/sorting and counting ballots: Prohibits voting systems that cannot simultaneously count and sort ballot overvotes and undervotes in multiple races.
Primary Election Day: Moves the primary election back from 10 to 11 weeks before the general election, to allow more time for overseas general election ballots.
Vote-by-Mail (VBM) Ballots/deadlines & cure: Extends the cure deadline for defective VBM ballot signatures from 5:00 p.m. on the day before the election to 5:00 p.m. on the 2nd day after the election; modifies the ballot-envelope voter's certificate to request additional contact information; creates additional phone and electronic notice requirements, to conform.
Provisional Ballots/deadlines & cure: Creates a provisional ballot signature cure process that mirrors the revised VBM signature cure process; provides for cure through 5:00 p.m. on the 2nd day after an election; modifies the ballot-envelope voter's certificate to request additional contact information; creates additional phone and electronic notice requirements, to conform.
VBM Ballots/request and mail-out deadlines: Moves the last day for voters to request VBM ballots from six to 10 days before an election, and prohibits supervisors from mailing out such ballots less than eight days prior to the election (currently four days); allows voter designees to physically pick-up VBM ballots for electors beginning 9 days before an election instead of the current five days, to conform.
VBM Ballots/domestic mailing deadlines: Allows supervisors to mail domestic VBM ballots between 40 and 33 days before an election (currently 35 to 28 days prior).
VBM Ballots/drop-off locations: Allows a voter to drop off his or her VBM ballot at a secure drop box located at each active early voting location and the supervisor's main or branch office; allows supervisors to set-up drop-boxes at unused early voting locations authorized in s. 101.657, F.S., (i.e., courthouses, county commission buildings), provided that the site is staffed by a supervisors' office employee or law enforcement officer during the county's early voting hours of operation.
VBM Ballots/start of canvassing period: Allows canvassing of VBM ballots to start one week earlier, at 22 days before an election rather than 15 days before the election.
VBM Ballots/duplication: Permits physically present candidate and political party/political committee officials, and/or their designees, to observe duplication of VBM ballots.
Voter Signature Updates/deadline: Moves the deadline for a voter to update his or her signature for purposes of validating a VBM ballot from the beginning of the VBM canvassing period to when the VBM ballot is received.
Voter Signature Updates/cure affidavits: Creates a process to use valid provisional and VBM ballot cure affidavits to update voter signatures immediately; provides for post-election notice to electors whose ballots are invalidated due to a signature discrepancy.
Early Voting: Requires most early voting sites (excluding supervisor of elections' main and branch offices) to "provide sufficient nonpermitted parking to accommodate the anticipated amount of voters."
Polls/no-solicitation zone: Expands the no-solicitation zone around polling places/rooms and early voting sites from 100 feet to 150 feet; prohibits the owners or operators of property on which supervisors site polling places or early voting locations from restricting solicitation beyond the 150-foot zone.

They call it their "profit improvement plan" to streamline the brand, and focus, but another way to put it is that Quiksilver, once the kingpin of surfing and action sports, has had to deal with a harsh wake-up call that they simply aren't popular with their once-core market of teens.
Quiksilver hasn't turned a profit since 2006, which also was the beginning of the downfall of action sports. It has lost money in the past 6 years and is on track to ending this year in the same way.
Their recent sale of Mervin Manufacturing for $58 million and getting out of snowboarding altogether will, according to Andy Mooney, President and CEO of Quiksilver, help the brand invest in it's higher-growth subsidies in Mexico and Brazil. The remaining process, according to Quiksilver, combined with their new European credit facility of 600 million euros, is a plan to enhance their financial flexibility and add greater stability to their liquidity.
"Divesting Mervin and the other non-core businesses will allow management to focus on expanding our three core brands – Quiksilver, Roxy, and DC Shoes – along with driving additional operational efficiencies," said Mooney.
Quiksilver also announced December 3, 2013, that it will divest and exit of other non-core businesses, including Surfdome Shop, Ltd. (Surfdome), Hawk Designs, Inc. (Hawk), its Moskova brand, and its business under license with Maui and Sons. They are now classifying these brands as assets for sale.
Quiksilver has also been cutting out some athlete sponsorship, underperforming stores, slashed many jobs, and is focusing in markets that are not yet saturated with the brands in Asia and Russia.
Last week, they also announced the licensing of Quiksilver and DC's youth apparel lines.
Interestingly, while financial services firm Piper Jaffray & Co. said that Quiksilver trailed in popularity among teens, at Label Networks, we saw it coming for years as the brand continued to drop on the radar of youth culture brand preferences. When mentioning that they were losing ground at various conferences we were asked to speak at including twice at SIMA and Magic Fashion Trade Show, the response was extremely defensive by core industry players. Which of course, is indicative of action sports and how lost it's become to the realities of a new youth culture.

Clock motors are just what control the performance of watches. Clock motors, or movements (as they are employed the trade), track the variety of released pulses from a quartz crystal, and hence acquire what does it cost? to rotate all the hands. Given the variety of features that take place in clocks, both average as well as exotic, these gadgets could in some cases be rather idiosyncratic.
Early clock electric motors were purely mechanical devices. Rotational torque applied to the major gear was obtained from a dangling weight or a tightly coiled springtime, and the moment-to-moment switching was limited through use of an escapement mechanism. A turning pendulum could be adjusted to fine-tune the ticking frequency.
In contemporary times electronic devices have mostly made the old mechanical frameworks outdated. Quartz crystals discharge pulses at a steadily constant rate, creating an extremely trusted timing source via neighborhood. Instead of a network of equipments we have counting registers that convert the pulse stream right into hours, minutes, and secs.
A clock electric motor's idiosyncrasies come about not just from the number of prospective features however additionally from the large range of performances it may be called upon to furnish. Moreover, these capabilities are not restricted to temporal ones however additionally could inclusive specialties such as chiming as well as display of weather info.
A typical performance difference is the 12-hour clock cycle versus the 24-hour cycle. In the previous there are twelve numerals or placeholders along the area of the dial as well as the minute hand makes a lots revolutions for every change of the hr hand. In the last twice as many numerals show up and the provision becomes 24 to 1.
Another common difference is whether there is a second hand included. Moreover, if it is consisted of there are 2 ranges. One exhibits the typical jerky motion with distinct ticks, while the various other second hand steps smoothly and also calmly in a constant move.
Some clock electric motors support not simply 3 hands, however four hands, increasing in distinctive habits. The temporal cycle is extended even longer, such that the fourth hand keeps track of the day of the week (for a general 7-day cycle) or the date within the month (an around 30-day cycle).
Now allow's check out exactly what's included with a weather condition motion in contrast to a clock activity (which are not constantly equally unique). The phenomena that might be displayed (in numerous mixes) are temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and tide degree. In the very first 3 of these, sensors take a direct dimension and display the value instead of counting elapsed pulses.
When it comes to tide level, monitoring is largely temporal, yet it's a combination of info from both solar as well as lunar cycles. Additionally, local conditions considerably affect the fluctuation in trend level and to a lesser degree impact the time lag in degree from the placements of the heavenly bodies. These traits indicate that trend activities need to be calibrated.
Accenting the average motor makes it even more unique and also complex. Chimes and pendulums are one of the most common accessories. Nowadays chimes are recordings (or collections of recordings) that appear on the hour or quarter-hour and also perhaps adhered to with an hour matter.
Sometimes the individual has the option to tape noises to play as the chime. As well as one frequently has a choice as to traditional chime patterns (e.g., Westminster, Wellington).
Motors that assistance (cosmetic) pendulums offer add-ons that oscillate every second. You after that have an option of shades, styles, as well as lengths.
Seeing the complexities and peculiarities of old Swiss clocks and so on commonly brings awe to the beholder. These mechanical marvels absolutely are a wonder. Nonetheless, though electronic devices have actually replaced technicians, it is still interesting to observe the foibles of contemporary clock electric motors.


Learn more about anorexia nervosa, one of the most common eating disorders among teens. This article looks at how to diagnose anorexia, some facts and statistics of anorexia nervosa, as well as common complications and treatment options for sufferers of anorexia.
Anorexia nervosa is one of the most common teen eating disorders, along with bulimia. The name comes from Latin, with anorexia meaning "without appetite" and nervosa, referring to the nervous system. Although sometimes called simply anorexia for short, the full name makes clear that it is a disorder with both physical and psychological components. Loss of appetite (anorexia) can happen from a variety of circumstances, such as stress or having influenza. But anorexia nervosa is something different.
In addition, two subtypes are recognized.
Restricted Diet Type is anorexia with neither binging nor purging.
Binge Eating/Purging Type is anorexia with regular binge eating or purging in addition to restriction of intake.
It is absolutely crucial to recognize that a person who does not exactly meet these criteria or the criteria for bulimia may still be suffering from an eating disorder and be at risk. If you suspect that you or someone else has an eating disorder, seek assistance, even if the person does not meet all these criteria.
Anorexia nervosa affects about .25 to 1 percent of girls in secondary school, and about three quarters of the cases begin between ages 11 and 20. Women account for about 90-95% of all anorectics, but only 75% of pre-adolescent cases. Although it is not an official term, some use manorexia to refer to a male anorexic. Another term, drunkorexia, has been coined to refer to the Binge Eating type of anorexia nervosa but with binge drinking substituted for binge eating. Drunkorexia also broadly applied to people who have any combination of an alcohol problem and an eating disorder. This is one example of a very serious problem that does not fit the DSM criteria.
Anorexia has been a problem for a long time. It is now thought that the case of a woman with "consumption" recorded by Richard Morton in 1686 may be the earliest recorded case of anorexia nervosa. It was certainly known by the nineteenth century, because in 1873 the name anorexia nervosa was coined by a London doctor named Sir William Gull (1819-1890).
But despite its long history, not many people knew much about it until recently, and now it may be better known for the people who suffered from it than for what it truly is. Musician Karen Carpenter and gymnast Cathy Rigby are perhaps two of the most famous sufferers, but even news coverage has not helped people understand it very well. It was with Carpenter's death from complications related to anorexia nervosa, that people began to take notice.
The fact is, despite popular belief, that anorexia nervosa is not the fault of the person who has it. This belief is rooted in incomplete understanding of the origins of anorexia by people who acknowledge only the sociocultural component (the influence of a society that celebrates thinness) and personal component (poor habits and vanity) to the exclusion of the biological underpinnings. Although it is not clear how, it is fairly certain by now that genetic factors and biological factors - as well as family, sociological, and psychological influences - underlie occurrences of anorexia nervosa.
People with anorexia nervosa often have other disorders, including depression, withdrawal, and insomnia. Obsessive-compulsive behavior is frequently observed, with one study showing that anorexics spend 70-85 percent of their day occupied with food-related thoughts.
In addition, anorexia nervosa has a number of very dangerous physical complications, mostly as the result of the effects of starvation, including malnutrition, electrolyte imbalance and cardiac arrest. In fact, though anorexia nervosa is the rarest of the eating disorders, it is the most deadly, not only of eating disorders but of all psychiatric disorders, and the leading cause of death for young women who are 15 - 24 years of age. Some studies show that anorexics are as much as 10 times more likely to die as people who do not have anorexia nervosa and between 6% and 20% of people with anorexia will die as a result of having the disorder, most of them by suicide.
One of the greatest hindrances to treatment is the patient's resistance. Often, the anorexic denies that there is a problem and is unreliable about providing accurate information. Sources agree that the treatment of anorexia nervosa must be multi-faceted to address the wide range of symptoms and causes, and that life-threatening physical symptoms have top priority, with weight gain being one of the first issues to be addressed. Hospitalization is sometimes necessary.

Adelbert Heinrich Graf von Baudissin (* 25. Januar 1820 in Horsens, Jütland; † 28. März 1871 in Wiesbaden) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller.

Leben

Herkunft
Baudissin gehörte zu dem ursprünglich aus der Oberlausitz stammenden, im Dreißigjährigen Krieg nach Schleswig-Holstein gekommenen Adelsgeschlecht Baudissin. Er war das siebte von 13 Kindern aus der Ehe von Graf Christian Karl von Baudissin (1790–1868) und seiner Frau Magdalene geb. Kunninger (1788–1864). Die Schriftstellerin Caroline Adelheid Cornelia von Baudissin war seine Großmutter.

Laufbahn
Er besuchte die Domschule Schleswig und studierte ab 1837 Bergbau und Gesteinshüttenkunde an der Bergakademie Freiberg. Dort wurde er 1838 Mitglied des von Jenenser Franken neu gestifteten Corps Franconia Fribergensis.

Nach dem Studium ging er nach Österreich. Nach seinem Dienst in der Schleswig-Holsteinischen Armee wurde er Deichgraf. Er betätigte sich erfolgreich als Romancier und Novellist. So schrieb er mehrere Schriften über Schleswig-Holstein, z. B. Geschichte des schleswig-holsteinischen Kriegs (Hannover 1862), sowie historische Romane wie Christian VII. und sein Hof, Philippine Welser. Seine novellistischen Arbeiten erheben sich jedoch nur stellenweise über das Niveau gewöhnlicher Unterhaltungslektüre.

Nach dem dänischen Sieg ging er 1852 als Forty-Eighter in die Vereinigten Staaten, wo er sich im Gebiet des Bundesstaates Missouri um die Stärkung deutscher Auswanderergemeinden bemühte. Immer wieder wird er als Gründer bzw. Mitgründer der "Stadt Heilbrunn" erwähnt, die jedoch nie wirklich florierte und von deren einstiger Existenz nur noch wenige Ruinen im Callaway County zeugen. Er war beteiligt an der Herausgabe der Zeitschrift Der Courier im Städtchen Washington/Missouri. Nach seiner Rückkehr nach Deutschland veröffentlichte Baudissin seine teils sehr kritischen Eindrücke vom Leben in Amerika in "Peter Tüt: Zustände in Amerika"(Altona, 1862), einem Bericht aus der Perspektive des fiktiven Einwanderers Peter Tütt, und in Der Ansiedler im Missouri-Staat (Iserlohn, 1864).

1862 kehrte er nach Deutschland zurück. Er wohnte zuerst in Altona. 1865 wurde er Deichinspektor an der Westküste und unternahm 1866 im Interesse des Dünen- und Deichwesens eine Reise nach Holland. Daneben entwarf er einen Plan zur Verbindung der Insel Rømø mit dem Festland, um einen Hafen für den geplanten Nord-Ostsee-Kanal zu gewinnen.

Während des Deutsch-Französischen Kriegs verbrachte er acht Monate als Berichterstatter auf dem Kriegsschauplatz. Er erkrankte auf der Rückreise nach Wiesbaden, wo er starb.

Familie
1844 heiratete er in Gmunden Pauline geb. von Gersdorff. Die Ehe wurde schon 1845 wieder geschieden.

1852 heiratete er in New York City Louisa del Strother (* 29. Juli 1830 in Kingston upon Hull; † 11. Mai 1910 in Lübeck). Am 17. Mai wurde sie als erste Person im neuen staatlichen Krematorium des Vorwerker Friedhofs eingeäschert. Ein Sohn des Paares war der Schriftsteller Wolf Ernst Hugo Emil Graf von Baudissin (1867–1926). Schriftstellerisch tätige Geschwister waren Wolf Friedrich Ottomar von Baudissin (1812–1887), Ulrich von Baudissin (1816–1893), Asta Heiberg (1817–1904) und Thekla von Baudissin (1812–1885).

Er wird häufig verwechselt mit seinem fast namensgleichen und fast gleichaltrigen Vetter, dem Landdrosten Adalbert Heinrich Friedrich von Baudissin auf Borstel (1821–1875).

The Boston-based ASP announces an enhanced version of its sales force automation application, highlights offline capabilities and Web services API.
Given the taste of success Web-native ASPs in general and sales force automation (SFA) ASPs in particular have enjoyed in the last year, it's no surprise that companies like Salesnet are hungry for a bigger piece of the pie.
Like its closest competitors, Salesnet wants to tap deeper into the enterprise market — a market once thought to be the exclusive domain of PeopleSoft, SAP, Siebel and other enterprise independent software vendors (ISVs).
To help address the needs of large companies with complex sales processes and to better compete with the client-server giants, Salesnet today announced Salesnet Extended, which features a Web services application programming interface (API) and an offline component. The new version also adds field access, multiple screen layouts and enhanced process builder functions.
The API is built using the Microsoft .NET framework. "We are a very pro Microsoft shop," Richard Perkett, Salesnet's chief technology officer and co-founder, told ASPnews. "We share Microsoft's vision of Web Services becoming the platform for application integration. Tomorrow's applications will be constructed using multiple Web Services from various best-of-breed applications like Salesnet."
"The API will allow developers to integrate data programmatically," Perkett said. In addition to offering integration with other customer relationship management (CRM) applications, Perkett said the API is also well-suited for integration with "call center, marketing automation and customer-service applications."
Like competitors Salesforce.com (see Salesforce.com Goes Offline and Big Biz and Upshot (see UpShot Mixes CRM With Microsoft Office Apps), Salesnet has also realized that the mobile nature of salespeople makes offline capabilities important when competing for enterprise customers.
Perkett described the offline version as "the same software as the Web-based application. Users can create new information, synchronize, pull down new information."
Users can create new accounts, contacts, deals, appointments, tasks while offline. That information is then synchronized with the central database the next time the user is online. "All data is captured, but conflicting data goes to a confliction resolution manager," Perkett told ASPnews. "User can synchronize 100 records in about five minutes."
To help allow for better sales forecasting, mobile workers can update their opportunities offline.
Like the online application, companies can design multiple screen interfaces for each department, team or user within a company. "You could have different screens based on departments for geography," Perkett said.
To help reduce synchronization time, users can select the data they want to work with offline. Salesnet says that this enables team-selling because users can subscribe to any data they normally have access to online, including information owned by other users.
Salesnet Extended also now includes field-level access, meaning the application can be configured to have unlimited field and data types. "For larger or complex organizations, you can set different access levels for inside and outside sales forces. Or a senior vice president could add sales quota information that would be invisible to other users," Perkett said.
The new software's expanded process builder features are designed to let managers and administrators set which sales processes users can select from when starting a deal, preventing them from using processes designed for other departments.
Like Salesforce.com and Upshot.com, Web-based Salesnet appears to be well-positioned as more companies outsource applications (see Web-Native Architecture Pays Off for ASPs). Perkett points to affordability and speedy deployment as advantages over client/server CRM applications — applications requiring customers to "spend millions on a product that takes nine months to implement."
A privately held company, Salesnet was not willing to provide details on its current financial status. "We are doing very well," Donna Rovetto, Salesnet communications manager told ASPnews. She said to date the company has raised $20 million in venture capital. Rovetto also hinted that an initial public offering (IPO) may be in the company's near future. "It's not a good time for an IPO, maybe early next year."
Rovetto told ASPnews that Salesnet's average enterprise customer subscribes for 380 seats and that 80 percent of its top 10 users upped their number of users/seats in the last year.
Salesnet Extended will be available in the third quarter for $99 per user, per month. The company will continue to offer its standard application for $59 per user, per month. Those users can add the offline option for an additional $15 per month.
Salesnet is listed by ASPnews as a Top 20 Provider.

SABC interim board announced
Mar 28, 2017 | 0
[intro]On Sunday the presidency released a statement that an interim SABC board has been appointed. The five intermin board members were unanimously approved by the National Assembly and consists of Khanyisile Kweyama (chair), Mathatha Tsedu (deputy chair), John Matisson, Febe Potgieter-Gqubule and Krish Naidoo. The board has been appointed for six months, according to the statement.[/intro]
"Millions of South Africans rely on the public broadcaster for news' information and entertainment. We wish Ms Kweyama and her team well as they begin the important task of leading and revitalizing one of the most important national resources' the SABC'" President Zuma said in a statement.
The public broadcaster is not only facing financial collapse, but has come under fire recently with reports of censorship, cash shortfalls and irregular spending. Last June, former acting CEO, Jimi Matthews, resigned with immediate effect in protest against deteriorating journalistic conditions at the SABC. Former chief operating officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng has come under intense public scrutiny with the City Press recently reporting that Motsoeneng left the public broadcaster in "financial ruin".
In a move which possibly marks a turnaround for the SABC, the appointment of the interim SABC board has been largely welcomed, consisting of respected journalists and business people.
Kweyama is the CEO of Business Unity South Africa and has served on the board of Anglo American South Africa, as well as Telkom. Tsedu is a veteran South African journalist and the former editor of the Sunday Times, he also served as deputy CEO of SABC News from 2001 to 2002. Matisonn started his journalism career at the Rand Daily Mail in the 1970s and was also one of the founding councillors of the Independent Broadcasting Authority. Potgieter-Gqubule is former deputy chief of staff at the African Union Commission and Naidoo is a former SABC board member, according to a report by TechCentral.
Business Day reported that of the Board's many tasks, it will prioritize the reviewing of editorial policies as well as appointing executives, including a permanent CEO, chief operating officer and chief financial officer. The Board will also implement the recommendations by Parliament's ad hoc committee on the SABC's collapse including an investigation into contracts, salary increases, dodgy bonus payments and other questionable SABC deals.

Families are looking for experiences that they can share together. Intentionally designing exhibits and programs with opportunities for all family members to actively participate in at the same time encourages inter-family communication and collaboration.
Design activities that emphasize teamwork and families working together rather than one person watching another complete the task. Try incorporating multi-player games into exhibits or assigning roles in programs to encourage multiple family members to participate. Visitors also take cues from provided materials and facilitation style. Be sure to provide enough accessible supplies and have facilitators address or make eye contact with both children and adults. These details go a long way in extending the invitation to participate to all members of the family.
Incorporate activities that require teamwork. If it is clear that the task will take more than one person, families will work together to complete it.
It takes teamwork to balance on a footrope and unfurl a sail. This activity in our All Hands on Deck exhibit is very hard to do alone. Family members are encouraged to participate in the activity together. There is plenty of space for a family to work together and different spots along the footrope work for individuals of varying heights.
Teamwork is necessary to furl and unfurl a sail in our All Hands on Deck exhibit.
Games and quizzes that require more than one player are simple ways to set a multi-user expectation.
A board game at the conclusion of the All Hands on Deck exhibit, Constitution Challenge, invites visitors to see who will be promoted first. The game pieces represent sailors that appeared in the exhibit. Each player rolls the dice, then lands on a square and draws either a Question Card or a Chance Card. The Question Cards are multiple-choice and ask about information presented in the exhibition. A correct answer moves you forward. We have observed visitors returning to the rest of the exhibition to find the answers to their question. Chance Cards may move a player forward or back: stop to fight a fire and lose a turn or rescue a man overboard and advance two spaces. The first to the end is promoted and wins. Here the family is competing rather than collaborating.
A family plays the Constitution Challenge game after exploring the All Hands on Deck exhibit.
Asking family members to adopt a role and then giving them a team activity to complete or problem to solve can be a fun and effective way to engage the whole family. The role can be a persona they will take on for the activity or just a job, such as the "recorder" or "gluer." Asking them to take on individual roles encourages conversation and negotiation between family members to complete those jobs. Also, talking "in role" may make some people more comfortable communicating with each other.
A family discussing and assigning roles during the Ready, Aim, Fire! program.
In the Ready, Aim, Fire! program at the USS Constitution Museum, families must form a gun crew in order to fire their Alka-Seltzer™ "cannons." Each gun crew has four roles: sponger, powder passer, loader, and tackleman. Families use role cards with simple job descriptions to assign roles to the appropriate family member.
The materials provided in a program or exhibit element send cues about who is invited to participate. Offer accessible supplies that make it clear both kids and adults are welcome to join in on the activity. Simple gestures, such as including adult scissors and child scissors or providing multiple stations at exhibit interactives, are important to encouraging multiple intergenerational users to participate in our activities at the USS Constitution Museum.
Providing multiple holystones invites adults and children to participate in the activity together.
The first thirty seconds of a program are key to extending invitations and conveying that a program is for the whole family. Facilitators are key in establishing a multi-user expectation from the beginning. They should be trained to make eye contact with both adults and children from the beginning of a program. It is important that they use language which clearly introduces the program as an activity for all members of a family and seek answers from everyone- adults and children- when asking a question of the group.
At the USS Constitution Museum, facilitators are sure to address everyone in the family group, emphasizing that our activities are designed for everyone to participate in together.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) owns more than one enforcement tool. Besides civil penalties, it can require compliance plans or disgorgement of unjust profits, or condition, suspend, or revoke market-based rate authority, NGA certificate authority, or NGA blanket certificate authority. And lacking criminal penalty authority itself, FERC can refer matters to the U.S. Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. Moreover, while defining an organization as any entity other than a natural person, FERC nevertheless will continue to determine civil penalties for natural person violators, looking to the guidelines for guidance in setting such penalties. In that context, the policy statement shows civil penalty fine ranges for several hypothetical gas and electric industry organization violators, thus:

It's summer time at Disneyland and that means it time to celebrate the Summer of Heroes and there is nothing small about it.
A few weeks ago I was at Disneyland and was able to see how amazing Summer of Heroes is going to be. Starting with the new ride, Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout.
I can't wait to ride this ride, plus I hear that waiting in line is an experience too.
Although, I'm not going to wait 300 minutes to ride this ride no matter how cool the inside is. But I'd probably wait over an hour because it looks amazing.
The ride goes through a space journey with lots of drops.
In addition, the popular "Pixar Play Parade," presenting the colorful and exciting worlds of the Disney•Pixar pals from "Toy Story," "Monsters, Inc." "Finding Nemo," "Cars" and others, has returned to Disney California Adventure with daily performances full of fun and surprising movement and effects.
And Princess Elena, the adventurous heroine of the Disney Channel series "Elena of Avalor" and the first Disney Princess inspired by diverse Latin American cultures will greet her fans in the patio of Paradise Garden Grill.

This film breaks new ground in moviemaking as the entire story is literally told on screens, which helps make the movie a gripping and emotional viewing experience.
Overall A-
When his 16-year-old daughter (Sara Sohn) doesn't return after pulling an all-nighter with her school study group, David Kim (John Cho) reports her missing. To help the investigating detective (Debra Messing), David begins searching his daughter's laptop computer for clues. What he finds brings him little comfort or hope.

Director Aneesh Chaganty begins Searching with a wink to the audience. This film, which is about a missing teenage girl, introduces us to her high school slogan: "Home of the Catfish". For those of us who are not up to date on current word usage, a "catfish" is someone who creates a fake online persona. It's not very subtle, but it certainly fits this story.
The plot focuses on the Kim family in San Jose, California: David (John Cho), mourning his wife, Pamela (Sarah Sohn), who died of cancer, and their daughter, Margot (Michelle La). David misses a call from his daughter one night, and over the course of the next day frantically and unsuccessfully tries to reach her. Starting to panic, he files a missing persons report with the local police. The case is picked up by Detective Rosemary Vick (Debra Messing), who enlists David's help in sorting through his daughter's friends and schoolmates. In doing so, David learns that he has been unaware of significant aspects of Margot's life. As the investigation proceeds, David is taken on an emotional rollercoaster of fear, despair, anxiety, and anger. Finally, David realizes that no amount of personal vigilance could have prevented his daughter's disappearance, but perhaps a more empathetic and personal relationship could have made Margot safer.
This film breaks new ground in moviemaking as the entire story is literally told on screens: laptops, TV's, cell phones, and security cameras. It's a startlingly realistic portrayal of modern computer use (despite the fact that David seems to keep his webcam window open on his computer far more than most people would), and it manages to add a lot of detail to his character. We get to see not only the messages he sends, but also the ones he deletes. It makes for a gripping look into a man's personal life as it crumbles around him.
Searching is a powerful film that almost brought me – usually impervious to drama-induced emotion – to tears. It is not suitable for children or most teens and is a very difficult story for parents (especially anxious ones). Unlike other thrillers of this kind, Searching does not focus on the police or on the individual twists and turns of the investigation. This picture is about every parent's worst nightmare, and it does not shy away from the emotional impact that a missing child would have. If you're not up for listening to Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle", you should give this one a miss.
Parents or teens who watch this well written and thought-provoking movie will find much to discuss. Internet safety and the minefields of parenting come to mind. This movie also lends itself to a conversation that is even more important than "teach your daughter to be careful": the discussion around "teach your son not to be a predator". We expect young women to take extraordinary measures to ensure their own safety on the assumption that we can't stop the people who would seek to harm them. It is certainly important for everyone to exercise discretion and good judgment in real life and online. Giving out personal information to strangers is a bad idea. However, we need to remember that we are not powerless to prevent these problems. Parents can teach young men to respect the word "no" and can make sure they understand that they are not at liberty to harass, assault, or pressure young women into situations they don't want to be in. It is true that even the best parental efforts will not prevent 100% of the attacks on young women. But we can certainly do our best to make sure no one else has to follow David Kim's searching journey.

So my research leave has come to an end, and I'm back at Lehigh teaching this fall. The first week of classes is a doozy, as many other aca-bloggers will attest, and it's difficult to find time and energy to blog.
And "The Spirits of Modernity" is a grad seminar on British modernism, which looks at questions of faith and doubt, religion and secularization in British modernism as well as in a little postcolonial literature (mainly The Satanic Verses). Authors include James Joyce (Ulysses), H.D., T.S. Eliot, E.M. Forster, James Wood, and Rushdie. We might also look at a bit of Karen Armstrong's The Spiral Staircase, a memoir about Armstrong's struggle with belief and doubt in a convent (yes, this is the same Karen Armstrong who has written a number of bestselling books on Islam).
Right now the idea is that I as well as my students will mainly post links to resources on the authors and concepts we're working on. It's experimental, so it will be a relatively small part of the grade of both classes (I'm curious to see if course blogging can result in some 'value-added' to the learning experience). I'm leaving it somewhat open right now to see if other uses for these blogs might emerge; I might become more directive as the term progresses.
Are others experimenting with course blogs? The main example I'm looking at is Chuck Tryon's "Rhetoric and Democracy" course blog, which is for a Freshman composition class focusing on the Presidential elections at Georgia Tech. But it is easier to define the use of a blog for a course about the elections than it is for courses that are primarily on reading literature; it's not like there's a new bit on CNN on Hilda Doolittle everyday.
I love the idea of course blogs. Kepp us posted on how it works out.
I'm doing a blog for one of my seminars this semester, for the first-year students, one on modernity and discontent. There are a number of interesting reasons to do so, not least because on a blog the act of having a discussion and recording it are the same thing--it can be a kind of ongoing archive of discourse. I'm going to require that people post once a week or so, at least to get the ball rolling at the beginning of the semester.
I'm having it set up so that one needs a password to view it; I envision that it might be intimidating to post freely on a blog easily accessible to family, employers, stalkers, et cetera.
Amardeep, you might also want to check out George Williams' "American Dialogues," which is also an election-themed composition course (http://w.faculty.umkc.edu/williamsgh/dialogues/). Matthew Kirschenbaum's senior-level Postmodern Literature course also has a course blog. Here's an entry about it from his personal blog: (http://www.otal.umd.edu/~mgk/blog/archives/000574.html).
