We went on a Bonaire Biking Excursion that was arranged by our cruise ship. The tour was run by a Dutch couple and had about 16 participants. They picked us up in a medium sized van at the port. Our first stop was to pick up the bike trailer. Then we headed to the north end of the town of Kralendijk to begin the ride. There are no traffic lights on the island. There are only 15,000 permanent residents.
We biked north along the coast on a small pleasant trail that ran right beside the water. There were lots of birds and bird calls. We even saw some yellow chested Amazon parrots. Vans, full of tourists, also squeezed on the bike path, which seemed crazy. The path wasn't wide enough for two way traffic, so the vans all went the same direction.
Next we biked inland along Goto Lake (Gotomeer). It was very picturesque. The flamingos that nest in the lake were gone for the season, but we did see a few later at a lake at the edge of Kralendijk. The flamingos return in January each year from Venezuela to breed. Venezuela is only about 20 miles from Bonaire.
After we left the lake behind, we reached the 9 mile mark of our Bonaire Biking Excursion. Next was a steep climb into the center of the island. I nearly made it to the top of the hill, but had to walk the last few steps. From there we coasted full speed downhill to the village of Rincon. In the village we were provided free cactus liquor called Cadushy. After our bar break we took the van back to Kralendijk. We stopped just outside of town at a small lake where we watched a few flamingos feeding.
This tour is a good one for someone who enjoys exercise, small crowds, bird song and Caribbean breezes. It's hard for tropical fish lovers to choose this excursion over the Bonaire Marine Park though.


DURHAM, N.H. - The Institute on Disability (IOD) at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) has been awarded a $150,000 grant from the John Vance ACCESS Fund, a donor-advised fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, to support the implementation of the UNH-4U program, a new initiative providing an inclusive college experience to students with intellectual disabilities. The IOD is currently seeking an additional $150,000 in matching contributions necessary to begin the admissions process for students.
More than 35,000 residents living in New Hampshire have an intellectual disability. Youth and young adults with intellectual disabilities are significantly more likely to be underemployed and live in povertythan their same-age peers. The majority of these young people, particularly those from low-income families, lack access to meaningful post-secondary education and career opportunities that would help them change these outcomes.

Q: UITextContentTypeEmail has no effect on quick type suggestions on UITextField I am currently trying to display quick type suggestions for the user's email address when the user is editing the email text field as well as the email confirmation text field. To do that, I set two things:
the text field's textContentType as well as its autocorrectionType to get the quick type bar to appear.
However, it seems that setting the textContentType has no effect on the contents of the quick type bar; it simply displays "words" as they would appear when editing any other text field. This is obviously not the result I want my users to see.
Here is the current code:
    SEL selector = NSSelectorFromString(@"textContentType");
    // Make sure that the text field is actually able to process the event,
    // the iOS version is greater than 10.3
    if([self.emailTextField respondsToSelector: selector]){
        self.emailTextField.textContentType = UITextContentTypeEmailAddress;
        self.emailConfirmationTextField.textContentType = UITextContentTypeEmailAddress;
        self.emailTextField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeDefault;
        self.emailConfirmationTextField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeDefault;
    }

How fundamental are these contrary opinions based on experimental work is shown by the summary of their conclusions:"It cannot be truly said that either thyroids or parathyroids are essential for life, since it is frequently possible to remove either or both without causing death.""In no animal have we been able to induce symptoms resembling myxoedema."" Myxoedema and cretinism must then, we think, be due to causes more complex than simple thyroid insufficiency." The same writer does not shirk the obvious suggestion that probably he and his fellowworker had not succeeded in removing all the tissues in question, for they were at pains to discover any further outlying fragments of tissue, and as they cogently remark, if such outlying tissue is so "order" frequent in the form of accessory glands, then the importance to life of the thyroid gland (proper) ceases to have the value hitherto attached Such conclusions are so disturbing that we are forced to think, in the light of the vast amount of evidence in favour of the athyreic basis for myxoedema, as judged by therapeutic results, that there must be some fallacy, and the most simple one appears to be that possibly these workers expected too rigid a parallelism between human myxoedema and the experimental athyrea which they induced.

About: A medium-sized seabird, about 45cm long. Guillemots are chocolate brown above and white below. In the winter they have white faces. Guillemots nest on ledges on cliffs, in tightly packed colonies. They feed on fish, crustaceans and molluscs, by diving into the sea. At three weeks old the chick plunges into the sea with its father, who will care for it at sea until it is independent - wow!
The other species of guillemot found in the UK is the black guillemot.
How to identify: Guillemots can be told from razorbills as they are brown rather than black above and they have a longer, narrow, all dark bill. Guillemots nest on the narrow ledges on cliffs, while razorbills nest lower down where it is more rocky.
Fantastic fact: Guillemot eggs are very narrow and pointed at one end, to stop them rolling off the cliff ledges!

Who's Blowing the Whistle?
Who's behind all these disclosures of potentially illegal or illicit business activity? The SEC's annual whistleblower report provided some clues.
Vincent RyanNovember 22, 2021
Fiscal-year 2021 was a record year for whistleblower awards, the SEC's Office of the Whistleblower (OWB) revealed in its annual report. The Securities and Exchange Commission awarded a total of $564 million to 108 whistleblowers. That one-year total was higher than all of the prior years of the program combined.
The program also received its highest number of tips ever — more than 12,200.
Who's behind all these disclosures of potentially illegal or illicit activity?
The SEC's OWB received tips from individuals in 99 foreign countries and every state in the United States and the District of Columbia. In addition, successful whistleblowers awarded money by the commission hailed from six continents. In total, about 20% of the deserving claimants in fiscal-year 2021 were based outside of the United States. The largest number came from Canada, the People's Republic of China, and the United Kingdom.
About 60% of the award recipients in fiscal-year 2021 were current or former insiders of the entity about which they reported information of wrongdoing. Of those recipients, more than 75% raised their concerns internally to their supervisors, compliance personnel, or through internal reporting mechanisms, or understood that their supervisor or relevant compliance personnel knew of the violations before they told the SEC.
Besides insiders, award recipients last year included investors who had been victims of the fraud they reported, professionals working in the same or related industry in which the misconduct occurred, or other kinds of outsiders, such as individuals with unique expertise in a market.
Of awarded whistleblowers, more than half provided original information that caused staff to open an investigation. In addition, about 44% received awards because their original information significantly contributed to an already existing investigation or examination.
Whistleblowers who won awards rarely just dropped a dime to the SEC and let the regulator take it from there. For example, a whistleblower who received a $114 million award in fiscal-year 2021 provided "substantial independent analysis of publicly available information derived from multiple sources that significantly contributed to an existing investigation and the success of the actions," the OWB said. "[This] whistleblower applied specialized skill and unusual effort in developing the analysis that [revealed] important insights into the misconduct." Another whistleblower "assisted [SEC} staff by providing an interview, testimony, and identification of a key witness, all of which saved the staff's time and resources."
While whistleblowing can be lucrative, and the SEC continues to adopt rules to protect employees and others that disclose possible frauds, blowing the whistle often results in severe personal and professional hardship. Here are two other things to keep in mind if you're ever in a position to be a whistleblower:
Don't delay in reporting wrongdoing. One whistleblower's award was lowered because the whistleblower "unreasonably delayed" in sharing the information. Another fact in the smaller award, the SEC said, was that "while the whistleblower did not direct, plan, or initiate the misconduct, [he or she] was involved in the underlying scheme."
Be sure you have good information. The SEC adopted a rule this past fiscal year under which claimants who submit three or more frivolous award claims may be permanently barred from the whistleblower program. The SEC issued permanent bar orders against two serial submitters in fiscal 2021 who were responsible for hundreds of frivolous award applications.

Top 5 Bizarre Products Showcased On Shark Tank India 2022 !!
Shark Tank India made all of us glue our eyes to the TV screen for weeks, and we loved it. The show was full of drama, interesting ideas, banter, and much more. However, we can't help but accept that there were some really bizarre ideas that either made us laugh our asses off, or left us totally confused.
So, If you are a fan of the show, you'd love to be reminded of all the things that stood out, not particularly in the best way. Here's what we think:
1. Poo-De-Cologne (India's first pre-toilet spray)
This one may not seem strange, but because there are currently other inexpensive options on the market, the judges were hesitant to invest in a product that had already been done at a much lower cost. Poo De Cologne was the name given to it by the female entrepreneur, and it was supposedly made of essential oils. The sharks, on the other hand, chose to let this one go.
2. Sipp-line (Glass Ka Mask)
One of the sharks (we all know who) became rather "agitated" as a result of this creation, but that isn't the point. The entrepreneur offered the idea of a mask for your glass to the sharks, but he was unable to persuade them to invest.
3. Belly Button Shaper
We had never considered getting a gadget to 'improve' our belly buttons before, but this man's fixation with the body part got us curious. The product was simply something you put in your belly button to obtain a round navel after using it frequently. This gizmo is now for people who wish to flaunt their belly button, according to the developer. Models, belly dancers, and other performers are examples. The judges, however, were unimpressed, and the inventor returned home with no investors and only a round belly button.
4. Tween In One
Another product that prompted one of the sharks to lash out at the entrepreneur (what's in a name?). The woman's goal was to revolutionise the fashion business by introducing reversible apparel. The sharks, on the other hand, were not pleased with anything and refused to invest in the goods.
5. Green Protein
Ashneer had concerns about the black currant being excessively sweet, or "poori cheeni," as he put it, while Aman couldn't bring himself to drink the glass he was given, even making faces.

Google mandates weekly COVID-19 tests for people entering U.S. offices
by RTD Journal January 15, 2022
San Francisco: As Omicron-triggered COVID infections surge globally especially in the US, Google has said it will now require fully-vaccinated workers who are coming to offices to get weekly COVID tests.
Google will require anyone going to one of its US offices or facilities to have received a negative molecular test for COVID-19, reports CNBC citing an internal memo sent to employees.
The employees should also report their vaccination status and wear surgical-grade masks while at the office.
"Anyone accessing our sites in the US are expected to obtain a recent negative Covid-19 molecular test before coming onsite," said the company.
Google offers free at-home testing to full-time employees.
The company also offers contract workers free RT-PCR-based nasal swab tests.
Last month, Google reportedly told employees that they will lose pay — and will eventually be fired — if they do not comply with the company's Covid-19 vaccination policy.
Employees who did not comply with the vaccination rules by the January 18 deadline will be placed on "paid administrative leave" for 30 days. After that, the company will put them on "unpaid personal leave" for up to six months, followed by termination.
While much of the tech industry continues to push back return-to-work plans and companies large and small prepare for a flexible future, Google is requiring its workforce to eventually come into physical offices three days a week at some point in 2022.

Odisha Government is the first to place order for OmiSure for Omicron detection
TATA Medical and Diagnostics Ltd. (TATA MD) has received an order for 5 lakh tests from Odisha State Medical Corporation Limited (OSMCL). The Government of Odisha is the first state in the country to order the TATA MD CHECK OmiSure RT-PCR tests developed in partnership with ICMR for detection of the Omicron variant of COVID. As OmiSure specifically identifies Omicron without the need for sequencing, it will help the government to combat the Omicron spread within the state.
Mr. Girish Krishnamurthy, CEO and Managing Director,TATA Medical and Diagnostics Ltd. said, "OmiSure is the only test that can specifically detect the Omicron variant at the point of testing. We would like to thank the Government of Odisha, the first state in the country that has decided to use TATA MD OmiSure for COVID testing and would provide all necessary support."
TATA MD CHECK RT-PCR OmiSure is the only test approved by the ICMR for RT-PCR detection of the Omicron variant. It targets 3 gene with a single tube, fully multiplexed assay in a unique design that identifies simultaneous S-gene Target Failure (SGTF) and S-Gene Mutation Amplification (SGMA). Its confirmatory evaluation of RdRP target with internal controls leads to accurate diagnosis with significant reduction in the risk of false-positive reactions from contamination in control materials. OmiSure uses the standard qPCR workflow, compatible with commonly used qPCR platforms with 4+ channels.

Omicron Odisha: 23 More Omicron Cases Detected In Odisha; Total Tally Goes To 37
by RTD Journal January 3, 2022
Omicron Odisha: Twenty three more new cases of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 had been detected in the state taking the total number of cases to 37, the Institute of Life Sciences in Bhubaneswar said on Sunday.
According to official reports, 11 of them are returnees from Finland, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Syria, 10 are local cases, and the remaining two are contacts of Finland returnees.
The state today registered a spike in Covid-19 cases, as 424 people, including 67 children below 18 years of age, tested positive for the virus during the last 24 hours. The daily Covid-19 cases were reported to be 298 on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the state government on Sunday temporarily suspended the reopening of schools for physical classes from classes 1 to 5, which was scheduled to begin from January 3.
Omicron Odisha cases
This brings the overall number of Omicron in Odisha to 37. Odisha Health Director Bijay Panigrah announced today that the state's monitoring and immunization campaigns will be stepped up.
The minister also recommended people wear masks and wash their hands frequently. "Unnecessary travel should be avoided wherever possible. In the past, we received sufficient public backing to deal with any emergency crisis. "With everyone's help, we can and will battle this wave," the CM said.
"Therefore, the people should adhere to COVID-19 appropriate behaviour. We should take every possible step to stop further transmission of the virus," he said, adding that Omicron is three times more transmissible than the Delta variant.
Meanwhile, the Omicron infections tally has climbed at 1,700 across the nation, of which 320 patients have been discharged from hospitals.
With Covid cases rising, containment zones increased and state governments considered new curbs, even while instances of serious disease remained low. Delhi recorded 3,194 cases, while Mumbai saw 8,063 new Covid-19 cases. A total of 3,194 new cases were recorded in Kolkata on Sunday, accounting for nearly half of the statewide count. But like in Delhi and Mumbai, hospitals remained low in the city.

Omicron Odisha: One More Omicron Case Detected In Odisha; Total Tally Goes To 9
Omicron Odisha:: One more new case of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 had been detected in the state, the Institute of Life Sciences in Bhubaneswar said on Wednesday.
The infected person is a resident of the Keonjhar district and had returned from Dubai on December 16.
As per the officials, he had tested positive with Coronavirus after his arrival to Odisha from Kolkata on a train. He was in isolation at his house. Then, his samples were sent for genome sequencing which confirmed he was infected with Omicron.
His parents and family members were tested for Covid-19 twice after he was tested positive. However, they were found negative both times. The health condition of the returnee is stated to be stable.
The Institute of Life Sciences in its statement said that the presence of the virus's Omicron variant was confirmed in the one people after genome sequencing.
This brings the overall number of Omicron in Odisha to nine. Odisha Health Director Bijay Panigrah announced today that the state's monitoring and immunization campaigns will be stepped up.
"We've been told to increase the daily COVID tests to 70,000," Panigrah said. On Wednesday, it was reported that Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik urged the people of the state to adhere to COVID guidelines. "The Omicron variant of Covid-19 is causing an increase in infections. "We must remain vigilant since the new strain is rapidly spreading," Patnaik warned.
Noting that the present situation shouldn't be taken lightly, he said, people's cooperation is essential to fight the danger from the Omicron. The Centre has suggested to states to formulate a strategy that can ensure the infection is contained at the local level itself before it spreads to other parts of the state.
Omicron Odisha: Odisha Govt Announces New Guidelines From Dec 25 To Jan 2; Check Details
Odisha Govt Announces New Guidelines: The Odisha government on Friday announced the following restrictions in the state from December 25 till January 2 for the safety of the public keeping an eye on the Omicron threat.

Odisha Govt Announces New Guidelines
The Omicron variant is a variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It was first reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) from South Africa on 24 November 2021.[1] On 26 November 2021, the WHO designated it as a variant of concern and named it "Omicron", the fifteenth letter in the Greek alphabet.
The variant has an unusually large number of mutations, several of which are novel (see § Mutations) and a significant number of which affect the spike protein targeted by most COVID-19 vaccines at the time of discovering the Omicron variant.
This level of variation has led to concerns regarding its transmissibility, immune system evasion, and vaccine resistance, despite initial reports indicating that the variant causes less serious disease than previous strains.

Odisha CM Alerts People On Omicron Variant, Rise In Its Daily COVID Caseload
A day after Odisha reported it's first cases in Omicron, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Wednesday urged people to adhere strictly to the proper conduct of COVID-19 in order to overcome the new strain of coronavirus.
Patnaik via video message, said: " Now COVID-19 new variant Omicron is spreading across the globe. Therefore, I appeal to people to remain alert and follow the norms like wearing masks, hand wash, maintaining social distancing and avoid crowd."
Odisha on Tuesday reported two cases of Omicron diversity after tracking the genome of 12 COVID-19 patients who had recently returned from abroad.
Meanwhile, the state government on Wednesday convened a meeting of senior officials to discuss additional steps to be taken in light of the Omicron differences that have already entered Odisha. " The meeting decided to increase surveillance and vaccination activities. The government will increase gene sequence testing, " said Nirajan Mishra, director of public health services.
Health Services Director Bijay Mohapatra said the Central Government has written to all states and union territories advising the administrations to impose restrictions if the test positivity rate (TPR) crosses 10 per cent or occupancy of oxygen-supported ICU beds touches 40 per cent.
Noting that the present situation shouldn't be taken lightly, he said, people's cooperation is essential to fight the danger from the Omicron. The Centre has suggested to states to formulate a strategy that can ensure infection is contained at the local level itself before it spreads to other parts of the state.
Meanwhile, Odisha recorded a slight rise in its daily COVID caseload on Wednesday as 183 more people tested positive for the virus in the last 24 hours pushing the tally to 10,53,349. The state had reported 146 cases on Tuesday and 186 and 193 cases on Monday and Sunday respectively.

The new Tata MD CHECK Express RT-PCR testing solutions will boost testing for the Omicron variant
~ Indigenously developed RT-PCR test for economical, variant-proof, and express use~
With the Omicron variant resulting in a further surge of cases across the globe, India is back on high alert with international passengers from high-risk countries requiring mandatory testing, as well as random testing of passengers from other countries. Some states have also introduced restrictions with the requirement of negative COVID tests for domestic passengers. In addition, with studies in India pointing to a possible surge in cases in February next year, there is expected to be a multifold increase in demand for RT-PCR COVID tests that are economical and give fast results. To meet this challenge, Tata MD has indigenously developed the COVID testing solutions that will significantly boost India's COVID testing capacity.
Tata MD COVID Express RT PCR solution consists of:
Tata MD CHECK XF, a 3-Gene RT-PCR kit that is RNA extraction free and uses fast amplification protocol combined with a portable and fast qPCR analyzer. The solution has a processing time of just one hour. And can process 30 samples per batch per machine. The kit is approved by ICMR with 95%+ sensitivity and 100% specificity.
Tata MD CHECK RT-PCR Fast 3Gene is a 3-Gene RT-PCR kit that uses fast amplification protocol and hence has a processing time of 90 minutes. And can process 90 samples per batch per machine. The kit can be used in existing qPCR instruments. It is approved by ICMR with 100% Sensitivity and 100% Specificity.
Both these kits use 3-Genes that are variant proof.
Another key advantage of the above solution is its high throughput feature. Tata MD XF with a portable and fast qPCR analyzer can process 300-400 samples in 2 hours using five lines. Tata MD CHECK RT-PCR Fast 3Gene using 5 qPCR instruments (96 wells) can process 450 samples in 2 hours. While the prevalent faster testing solutions currently being used in airports process one test at a time with low throughput capacity and yet very expensive.
RT-PCR testing
Mr. Girish Krishnamurthy, CEO, Tata Medical & Diagnostics Ltd. said, "At Tata MD, our endeavor is to indigenously develop innovative medical technologies and we have been working on several new technologies for COVID Testing. These express testing solutions can be applied in multiple areas where quick, high volume, and reliable testing is required such as airports and events"
The new Tata MD CHECK Express PCR testing solution has been proven to deliver rapid and dependable results in a real-world environment with a high volume of tests at the Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru since early this month. It has proved instrumental in helping to address the rush of fliers from 'high risk' countries required to undergo mandatory RT-PCR testing.

I am in the middle of designing this monster assembly table and I want do something that looks like the attached picture, the mage shows a torsion box assembly top and it shows segments of all the materials used in its construction I too would like to display a diagram in the same way, but I am unsure as to how to do it.
I would make the copies of the hardboard top and top skin components unique to separate them from the ones in your assembled version of the model. Then use Fredo's Bezier Curve tool to draw the shallow S-curves to separate the top face. Finally Push/Pull on the waste side to get rid of what you don't want to see. I've done this a number of times, I'll see if I can find an example.
I decided to make an example based on your screen grab.
Try orbiting to a higher view point.

Title 15.2. Counties, Cities and Towns
Chapter 22. Planning, Subdivision of Land and Zoning
§ 15.2-2257. Procedure to modify certain covenants in Shenandoah County.
Upon a verified petition signed by the owners, other than the original subdivider, of 10 percent of the lots in any subdivision previously recorded, the circuit court for Shenandoah County, in which such subdivision lies, shall have authority to conduct a hearing and modify any and all covenant provisions of any previously recorded deed of dedication or other document relating to road maintenance fees as to any roads located within the subdivision. Upon receipt of the petition, the court shall, if all owners of lots within such subdivision are not before the court, enter an order of publication under the provisions of subdivision A 3 of § 8.01-316, making the owners of all lots not owned by petitioners parties to the cause, which shall then be docketed and set for trial on the chancery side of the court. Should the court, after hearing evidence and argument of counsel, find that the streets and roads in the subdivision require maintenance in excess of that provided for with the road maintenance funds specified in the covenants to permit emergency vehicles ready access to the residents of the subdivision to ensure the public health, safety, and welfare, the court may increase the fees required for road maintenance to the extent reasonably necessary to permit emergency vehicles ready access to the residents of the subdivision. The funds collected shall be accounted for as provided in § 15.2-2256. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the members of a subdivision association from proceeding under the provisions of § 55.1-1825 or subsection C of § 55.1-2305, as applicable.

Appropriate by Paisley Rekdal – A Review and Reaction
Appropriate: A Provocation
By Paisley Rekdal
Published by W.W. Norton & Company
Released February 16, 2021
Within all written texts there exists an implicit writer-reader contract. Although this contract can be defined in many ways, essentially, the writer agrees to share something that is true and valuable, while the reader agrees to listen and give the writer her trust. This unspoken contract creates a personal relationship between the writer and reader that is infinitely unique, and is based on what each party brings to the text. For any written text to have purpose, the writer-reader contract is necessary, but it is also problematic. In Paisley Rekdal's new book, Appropriate: A Provocation, the author critically analyzes the writer-reader relationship as it relates to cultural appropriation, a pervasive political and literary criticism for how people and their history, art, language, and ways of life and thinking, are portrayed by those outside their cultural sphere. Put simply, cultural appropriation is the act of passing someone else's work or voice off as your own. It's wrong, but how, why, and when; and is it irredeemable? These are some of the questions Rekdal thoughtfully considers.
Rekdal, who is Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Utah, epitomizes the writer-reader relationship in the way she composes her book as a series of letters to a student known as "X". The book proceeds as a series of definitions, observations, and case studies about cultural appropriation in literature and popular society. Rekdal moves from one "letter" to the next, carefully providing her observations and analysis on various forms of cultural appropriation, both those that have been done with intention or malice, and those that have been done out of ignorance or good intentions. It is written in a manner that is highly academic in language and process making it, at times, challenging to comprehend. But, it's Rekdal's dedication to process that makes this book and its conclusions that much more effective and necessary.
Book Review – Slavery's Reach: Southern Slaveholders in the North Star State by Christopher Lehman
Appropriate does not cast aspersions (with one notable exception toward author Jack London) on writers past or present for their attempts to convey or portray cultures different from their own. That's not to say that she agrees with them or believes their actions are moral or justified, but she asks the reader to look beyond the failure of any given text in order to mine value from what remains. Essentially, Rekdal champions critical thinking as both a reader and a writer. Rather than being pretentious and haughty, she admits to her own faults while asking readers and writers to look beyond their own worldview, to consider context, and to reevaluate the purpose and results of culturally appropriative materials. In doing so, Rekdal provides a series of guidelines, both for understanding and for analyzing appropriative texts. These guidelines provide readers the tools they need first, to recognize and distinguish appropriative texts, second, to deconstruct the text for any underlying value or lessons, and third, to look inward in order to evaluate their own role in the existence and perpetuation of racist ideology and colonial, capitalist structure. Rekdal does the same for writers, giving them guidelines and strategies to avoid cultural appropriation when possible and to manage its risks and consequences when avoiding it becomes impossible or undesirable.
Ultimately, the only way to avoid cultural appropriation is to back away completely from society. But, I would argue, that would be quite a dull existence. In her book Appropriate, Paisley Rekdal shows us that we must confront cultural appropriation, not as a moral judge or caretaker, but as an open-minded participant both in the world we live in and the one we are striving to achieve. No single authority has ownership over the moral righteousness of any single work of artistic expression. Right or wrong, better or worse, every reader brings their own set of intricate experiences and biases to a text while every writer brings their own truth and goals. There should not be a single solid line, which moves over time by the way, that producers and consumers of appropriative materials cannot cross. There should, however, be an open and respectful dialogue about what delineates cultural appropriation, how and why it's hurtful, and how all of us, together, can express ourselves and our stories without harming, subjugating, or minimizing the story of another.
Quotes from the Text
"With regards to writing and appropriation, the real question is not whether I can simply ignore or override racial stereotypes, or even whether certain cultures have immutable claims to particular subjects and content, but what appetites I feed when I write from a position outside of my own."
"I'm going to suggest that, if you engage in subject appropriation, you will research your characters thoroughly, doing all the intimately engaged critical, historical, literary, and sociological due diligence necessary before committing the details of your character's life to the page."
"If you are looking for comfort or vindication for your writing, you will never have it. You will have to choose for yourself, understanding that even sensitive literary portrayals may perpetuate racist systems."
"To understand that we are each—at best—a set of relations and possibilities, not inevitabilities, is a great lesson to be learned."
"In that sense, if I don't believe reading is a moral endeavor, I do believe it is a critical skill with moral effects, and that these effects become more pronounced the more carefully I attend to my reading."
"So instead of discarding all texts that could neither anticipate nor correspond with our contemporary sensibilities, perhaps we might ask what, if anything, we might want to recuperate from them, so that these works can continue to educate us as readers of history, if not as models of humanistic merit."
Paisley Rekdal is the author of ten books of poetry and nonfiction. A former recipient of Guggenheim and NEA fellowships, she is Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Utah and is the state's poet laureate. She lives in Salt Lake City.

Q: Use Custom_Pipe in TS I have this pipe:
@Pipe({
name: 'searchNomES'
})
export class SearchNomESPipe implements PipeTransform {

transform(uos: IUo[], name?: string,): IUo[] {

if (!uos) return [];
if (!name) return uos;
name = name.toLocaleLowerCase();
uos = [...uos.filter(uo => uo.nom.toLocaleLowerCase().includes(name))];
   return uos;

}
}

It works fine when I use the pipe in my html like that:
<ng-container *cdkVirtualFor="let image of display | async | searchNomES : name " >
</ng-container>

But I try to use the pipe in my component.ts. I try this:
<mat-form-field >
<input matInput
(keyup)="applyFilter2($event.target.value)">
</mat-form-field>

import { SearchNomESPipe } from '../../search-nomES.pipe';

constructor(private  espipe:  SearchNomESPipe) { }

ngOnInit() {this.display=this.markerservice.getGeos() }

applyFilter2(name : string) {
this.display = this.espipe.transform(this.display,name);
}

My service:
getGeos() { return this.
database.list('ES').snapshotChanges().pipe(map(actions => {
return actions.map(a => {
const data = a.payload.val();
const key = a.payload.key;
return {key, ...data };

But I have this error:

uos.filter is not a function or its return value is not iterable

A: You are working with an observable, therefore your pipe must handle an observable, and return an observable. You will then be using async pipe in view. Modify your pipe to:
transform(uos: Observable<IUo[]>, name?: string): Observable<IUo[]> {
  return uos.pipe(
    map(data => {
      if (!data || !name) return [];
      name = name.toLocaleLowerCase();
      return data.filter(uo => uo.title.toLocaleLowerCase().includes(name));
    })
  );
}

Then template:
<ng-container *cdkVirtualFor="let image of filtered | async" >

TS:
display: Observable<IUo[]>;
filtered: Observable<IUo[]>;

ngOnInit() {
  this.display=this.markerservice.getGeos()
}

applyFilter2(name : string) {
   this.filtered = this.espipe.transform(this.display,name);
}

DEMO

A: Try like this:
 ngOnInit() {
    this.markerservice.getGeos().subscribe(resp: any[] => {
      this.display = this.espipe.transform(resp, name)
    })
  }

About Dallas Summer Musicals
Dallas Summer Musicals (DSM) is the preeminent nonprofit presenter of Broadway theatre in North Texas.
DSM produces, presents and promotes excellence in live musical theatre with year-round performances for diverse audiences of all ages, impacting the lives of children and families through community outreach and education and enriching the cultural landscape of Dallas/Fort Worth, North Texas and the Southwest Region.
Dallas Summer Musicals (DSM) began in 1941 as Opera Under the Stars in the Band Shell at Fair Park. Without the benefit of air-conditioning in the 40's, performing outdoors was a better alternative than having to withstand the triple digit summer heat at an indoor facility in Dallas. The most important thing was for the audience to experience the magic of live theater. Opening night came on June 12, 1941, with a production of Sigmund Romberg's Blossom Time, an operetta based on the life of Franz Schubert.
The first season was co-produced by a group of local Dallas businessmen and The Schubert Organization in New York City, producers of touring theatrical productions. Ten shows, running a week each, were planned for the first season but the season was so successful that two additional shows were added. Ticket prices ranged from 30¢ to $1.10, and the season ended with a profit, despite the fact that a third of the performances were rained out. The onset of World War II prompted the cancellation of the season in 1942, but the summer theatre resumed operations in 1943 when a group of local businessmen established a non-profit organization to produce the season, under the name Starlight Operettas. A series of ten shows was presented that year, as well as in 1944.
The State Fair Association decided the Starlight Operettas needed a full-time executive director. In 1944 it tapped legendary show business figure Charles R. Meeker to become the organization's first Managing Director. After working with The Schubert Organization in 1941, Meeker providentially served as mentor to two young men – Tom Hughes and Michael Jenkins in the 1940's and 1950's who were to succeed him in later years continuing to bring quality entertainment to local audiences, decade after decade.

The most severe weather issues are expected to be out of the area by the time the event starts around 4:30 on Friday.
Rain from Tropical Storm Michael shouldn't affect the fall roundup of the Chincoteague ponies, officials say.
Denise Bowden, spokesperson for the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department, said that while the event will be wet, the most severe weather issues are expected to be out of the area by the time the event starts around 4:30 p.m. Friday.
The National Weather Service forecasts the weather in Chincoteague on Friday to have a 30 percent chance of rain. High wind and high surf advisories will clear by noon, although it will likely still be quite windy and rainy.
That will not prevent cowboys from rounding up the ponies at the southern end of the heard to check on their health as well as to see any new foals that have been born.
The roundup will take a few hours, but there will be plenty of parking access for those looking to see ponies.
The ponies will be penned, and once they are in the pen, people are permitted to come up to the fence and photograph the ponies.
On Saturday morning, while cowboys round up in the north end of the heard, the vet will check the southern ponies, including giving vaccines, checking hooves and give the ponies what is effectively a physical.
The southern ponies will then be released, and then the vet will check the northern ponies. Once the vet is done, the ponies from the north will be released until the next roundup, typically in April.

Satanic influences foretell Scott-Crist election in Florida
January 14, 2013 | Tom Tillison | Print Article
With the Oompa Loompa tan man all but announced as the Democrat candidate to challenge incumbent Gov. Rick Scott, we can expect the 2014 Florida gubernatorial election to be one for the record books.
The aforementioned Charlie Crist has prominent national support, said to include the President himself. This largess being the result of having attorney John Morgan firmly in his corner.
As it is, Morgan has appreciable influence in the Obama White House considering he collected more than $1.7 million for Obama's re-election or for the Democratic National Committee, making him one of the campaign's biggest bundlers nationwide.
And Morgan will make out like a bandit if his investment in Crist results in a second stint as Governor.
This is relevant because it's indicative of the tactics we can expect in the quest to unseat Gov. Scott. With such a Far Left flavor, we can expect a heavy dose of ridicule early and often in an attempt to establish a preferred narrative in the race.
And right on cue, the Miami Herald reports that Satanists "from all over Florida" will gather at the State Capitol on Jan. 25 at 1 p.m. to applaud Scott's backing of SB 98, according to a news release by a group called the Satanic Temple.
SB 98 is the bill Scott signed in March that allows school districts to create policies allowing students to deliver "inspirational messages" at public events.
According to the groups spokesman Lucien Greaves,who also goes by "Overlord", the Satanic Temple plans to have more than 100 members of the group, clad in black robes on hand to show support for Scott's "unwavering fortitude and progressive resolve in his defense of religious liberty."
That should make for a great photo-op… and the emphasis on the term 'progressive' is mine.
Interestingly, Greaves hails not from the Sunshine State, but from Cambridge, Mass.
Did I mention that Morgan also raised money for Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat who defeated incumbent Republican Scott Brown for the U.S. Senate?
While Rick Scott will find it increasingly difficult to be on the receiving end of positive media coverage leading up to the election, he can be sure they'll jump on stories such as this with enthusiasm. Yep, one for the books…

Home > Products > Selected Poems
By Mary Ruefle
ISBN# 9781933517568 (6x9 176pp, paperback)
A career-defining retrospective by a much-beloved contemporary master.
Mary Ruefle's Selected Poems gathers together the finest work from her distinguished and inimitable poetic career, showcasing the arc of her development as one of the most brilliant, expert and hilarious practitioners of the art. Anyone who wishes for poetry to be both richly challenging and thoroughly entertaining, need look no further than this capacious retrospective.
Winner of the 2011 William Carlos Williams Award
Sometimes, a series of moves can add up to an utterance or articulation that can communicate emotionally—and maybe even wisely, as shocking as that idea might be—while disorienting and unsettling us... I think this is really what Pound meant when he said what he said about making it new. And I think it's what most of us really want from poetry. Mary Ruefle's Selected collects the best and brightest from her ten books. It is way worth checking out.
Adrian Blevins, Ploughshares
Her language is simple and direct, even when the poem itself is not; one of the enjoyable paradoxes of reading Ruefle's work is how easy it is to read, but how many possible meanings you can make. Though sometimes described as an experimental or "post-avant" poet, I have always found Ruefle's work intelligently accessible, charming and reader-friendly. Her poems tend to absurdism – a poem titled "Barbarians" describes a field of lounging cows, while "My Happiness" follows a meandering porcupine.
Jeannine Hall Gailey, The Rumpus
This first retrospective collection from Ruefle, which selects from her nine previous books of poetry... shows her to be a poet of visionary imagination, abiding sensitivity, and melancholy humor.
That her work has not yet won any major award is absurd. Ruefle is clearly one of the best American poets writing, and her body of work is remarkable for its spiritual force, intelligence, stylistic virtuosity, and adventurousness.
Tony Hoagland, On the Seawall
People sometimes ask me which recent books of poetry I enjoyed reading, and I reply, with embarrassment, that because reading poetry books is my job, I don't often think of them in terms of how enjoyable they are; I think of them as "interesting" or "not interesting." Pathetic, I know. But I not only found this book interesting, I enjoyed it. And I hope it wins Mary Ruefle the Pulitzer, especially if they give you some kind of statuette for that, because I think Ruefle would make a flower vase or spaceship out of it.
Joel Brouwer, Poetry
Ruefle's empirical language, littered with superlatives, activates the imagination of the poems' speakers. What's noticed draws forth what's absent (side note: the poet is also an accomplished erasure artist). The previously absent is now present, as real as any other reality. The world is enriched as a result of being looked at. Vivid actions, thoughts and feelings are animated in the speakers.
Jennifer H. Fortin, Coldfront
As soon as you've landed somewhere, Ruefle is already on to something else. When Dickinson suggested "tell it slant," she was also saying look somewhere else, and Ruefle is always looking somewhere else. What makes her so different from her contemporaries is how the central power of the poems comes from an encounter with the imagination and not so much with any a ha! moment about reality.
Michael Klein, Los Angeles Review of Books
Mary Ruefle is the author of many books, including Dunce (Wave Books, forthcoming 2019), My Private Property (Wave Books, 2016), Trances of the Blast (Wave Books, 2013), Madness, Rack, and Honey: Collected Lectures (Wave Books, 2012), a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism, and Selected Poems (Wave Books, 2010), winner of the William Carlos Williams Award from the Poetry Society of America. She has also published a comic book, Go Home and Go to Bed! (Pilot Books/Orange Table Comics, 2007), and is an erasure artist, whose treatments of nineteenth century texts have been exhibited in museums and galleries and published in A Little White Shadow (Wave Books, 2006). Ruefle is the recipient of numerous honors, including the Robert Creeley Award, an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Guggenheim fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, and a Whiting Award. She lives in Bennington, Vermont.

Ashley Potts tells the unpleasant story of her recent vehicle purchase.
"I avoid answering my phone when they call."
I recently bought my first "real" car. You know, the one you buy after you've finished your college degree and gotten settled into your first "real" job… That's pretty exciting for a 23-year old.
Like any Gen Y'er, I assumed I could handle the sales process, but I was thrown off guard almost immediately. Everything I've come to expect in the buying process: engagement, transparency, and efficiency, was missing almost 100%. I don't regret buying the car, but I do regret buying it from that dealership!
I want to tell you about the customer experience, or lack thereof, I had when I bought my car so you can avoid making these mistakes with your customers.
When the salesperson brought over the four square sheet, he didn't have my trade-in value or interest rate written down. I asked what they were since that's usually a negotiating area; I wanted to make sure I was getting a fair trade.
I almost got up and left at that point, but I really wanted the car. Nobody else had one like it, so I stayed.
After haggling back and forth he finally said, "If I can get you to this payment, will you sign today?" I didn't want to sign that day, I just wanted to test drive it and see if I could afford it.
The salesperson was adamant that if I didn't buy the car right then and there, it would be gone tomorrow. I felt pressured and way out of my element at this point… I just wanted time to think and process this major buying decision.
They "sold" me the car and let me drive it home that night without signing any paperwork or telling me what my final payment would be. I had to come back the next day to finish up.
Of course they promised I'd be at my desired payment level, but I didn't believe them. I expected to come in the next day and find out my credit didn't get approved or the payment was way too high. I was a nervous wreck that night and the next day worrying.
At that point, I'd had enough and demanded to know what I would be paying. A customer shouldn't have to demand to know her payment.
Two days later, I had to go back into the F&I office to sign a form that wasn't filled out correctly the first time. I was sick of that place and avoided the salesperson like he was the plague.
Okay, so I did get a great car and paid the price I wanted to pay. BUT I felt tricked, betrayed, and annoyed by the entire process. I even felt foolish because I let myself put up with it. I love my car and wouldn't trade it for anything but I will NEVER go back to that dealership.
I avoid answering my phone when they call, and when people ask about my experience, this story is what they hear. The customer experience is everything to Generation Y. They are your new customer; make sure you put their experience first!
