The effect of carbon nanotube properties on the degree of dispersion and reinforcement of high density polyethylene
Melanie Morcom, Ken Atkinson, George Simon
The efficacy with which a range of nanotubes could reinforce a high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix was investigated, in relation to nanotube diameter, purity, functionalization, alignment and nanotube bulk density. Composites were prepared by melt blending multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with high density polyethylene (HDPE), followed by the injection molding of tensile specimens. At a 5 wt% loading, the most effective nanotubes were those of large diameter, received in an aligned form with low bulk density, producing a 66% increase in elastic modulus and a 69% improvement in yield stress. This was contradictory to theoretical mechanics calculations that predicted an increasing degree of reinforcement for nanotubes of reduced diameter. This difference was explained by the higher degree of dispersion observed in the composites with MWNTs of greater diameter.

The lessons I have learnt through yoga, and the journey it's taking me on is unbelievable, it's the most magnificent journey ever. It's had is fair shares of ups and downs, digging deep into my soul peeling back the layers, and searching for answers, answers that until now I have only just realised have always been within, and one yoga asana has taught me the most, it has changed my life.
I met an excellent yoga teacher named Kelly from Yogatime in 2015 for a few 1-2-1 yoga classes, who now happens to be whom I share a house with and like a sister to me. At a time when I felt I needed something more. She led me through a beautiful hatha yoga practice, we then came to the tree pose, I was wobbling all over the place, finding it hard to focus, putting pressure on myself, frustrated, which in turn made my balance worse. Then something she said that changed my life forever, I will never forget that moment.
"If you fall, just pick yourself right back up and try again", simple words but, but life-changing. We all have days when we balance, we all have days when we fall, we all have days of sadness, we all have days of joy, but whenever we fall. We pick ourselves up, and we try again, growing stronger and stronger, accepting what is, letting go, not judging ourselves, not criticising ourselves. When the wind blows we may fall, when a storm hits we may fall, and when we do trust and believe that we can stand back up proud, a tree rooted firmly to the ground growing stronger and stronger day by day.
Thank you yoga for the lessons I continue to learn, from each and every asana, each and every breathe, and thank you Kelly for sharing your wonderful analogy that I now share with my students, and hopefully we will all learn how beautiful we are, if we let in the light, shine bright and blossom like a tree.
Your Breath: Focus upon to your breath this helps unite body and mind and establish a state of calm.
Direct Your Gaze: Also called drishti, a steady gaze helps focus your mind. In Vrksasana, keep your gaze on the horizon, or a fixed point directs energy forward to keep you stable.
Visualize Your Tree: Imagine that you are a tree—with your feet rooted firmly in the earth and your head extending up toward the sun.

Blog: Hall of FAME
The government is set to power-up the second phase of the FAME scheme, but a closer look reveals it might have put the cart before the horse.
Nishant Parekh Author
Barely a month before the March 31 expiry of the first phase of the government's FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles) scheme, which aims to boost the adoption of electric vehicles in the country, the Cabinet gave a green light to its second phase. The first phase, which was approved to go on steam from April 1, 2015, for an initial period of two years, saw multiple extensions.
Now, proposed to be implemented over three years, the phase two of FAME scheme sees an almost 11-fold increase in total allocation to Rs 10,000 crore (FAME I - Rs 895 crore). It also seeks to offer incentives to 15,62,090 vehicles, around five times more than the 2,70,000 vehicles it has supported under the first phase.
A large focus of the scheme clearly is on electric two-wheelers, given that they account for 97 percent of India's EV sales (electric two-wheeler volumes doubled to 54,800 units in 2017-18). Of the total, the government aims to support 10,00,000 electric two-wheelers followed by 5,00,000 electric three-wheelers, 55,000 electric four-wheelers and 7,090 electric buses.
However, on the face of it, the scheme intends to benefit a higher number of vehicles and is armed with more firepower, but looking at the specifics, the scheme doesn't seem to be as well-rounded as it might originally sound. As things stand, it is likely to fall short of having the intended impact and consequently, the money could even go underutilised. And there are multiple reasons for the same.
Not much for electric car buyers
What's a real downer to FAME II is how it ignores the electric-car buyer. If it's implemented in the way it is proposed, there's no incentive for a car buyer to move to a hybrid or an EV.
In order to get subsidies, electric vehicles sold in India will need to have a minimum range of 140km, a minimum max speed of 70kph and a max battery capacity of 30kWh. The intention behind keeping these criteria quite stringent is to induce EV carmakers to develop models that could be viable alternatives to combustion engine cars. To meet these requirements, the cars will require a higher battery capacity. The catch 22 situation here is that the higher cost of large battery packs could drive ex-factory prices above the Rs 15 lakh threshold to be eligible for benefits under FAME II. Given their specification requirements and price limitations, it seems very difficult for manufacturers to bring electric cars with that travel range, costing below Rs 15 lakh, within three years i.e. the scheme's duration.
The Rs 15 lakh eligibility criterion itself has its own flaws. While the price restriction is to avoid benefits being extended to high-end vehicles, the fact is, most new technologies debut on pricier models. The tech is fine-tuned and eventually, after its cost comes down, make its way onto budget cars. The stipulations under FAME II could, in effect, end up restricting this flow of technology to cheaper cars. It's not just about technology. Without sufficient benefits, carmakers might shy away from launching large electric vehicles, including SUVs. Carmakers just might not see a strong enough business case for a medium to large-sized EV.
Another factor that will discourage car buyers from switching to EVs is keeping private buyers out of the ambit (this wasn't the case with FAME I). Only those cars and three-wheelers used for public transport or commercial transport will be eligible for subsidies. However, privately owned electric two-wheelers are eligible to avail benefits. This doesn't bode too well for buyers, especially when relatively affordable EVs such as the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R EV and the Tata Altroz EV are on the horizon. True, shared electric mobility is expected to have a wider environmental impact by virtue of a public transport vehicle typically covering a larger distance, but in a country like ours in which EV/hybrid adoption is at such as nascent stage, discouraging private buyers will do nothing to hasten the pace of clean vehicle adoption.
All's not smooth-sailing for electric two-wheelers
According to the FAME II notification, "the benefits of incentives will be extended to only those vehicles that are fitted with advance battery, like a Lithium-Ion battery, and other new technology batteries". This is done in an effort to encourage advance technologies. However, electric two-wheelers with a lithium-ion battery only account for a miniscule portion of the total e2Ws sold in India. According to the Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV), just 2,163 two-wheelers sold last year were fitted with a lithium-ion battery, translating into just 4 percent of the total.
Furthermore, the criterion for having 50 percent of localisation also poses a challenge for automakers, especially since battery manufacturing is currently not done in India. At the recently held Autocar Professional two-wheeler conclave, industry stakeholders felt that having a high localisation is a chicken-and-egg situation because, unless the volumes come in, the automotive supply chain will be unable to commit to investing.
Two-wheeler makers also felt linking incentives purely to the battery – Rs 10,000 per kWh – will reduce the total subsidies most electric two-wheelers can avail. The fact is, two-wheelers primarily meant for city use typically do not have large batteries.
So, while the second phase of the FAME scheme is surely a step in the right direction, it is not enough. A large part of it looks promising only on paper and the overall scope is actually limited, especially for electric cars. The government will have to relook at a lot of aspects and modify the stipulations wherever required to enable a wider chunk of the automotive industry to meet the criteria.

About Prosecco DOC
About Casa Prosecco DOC
Prosecco is the most popular sparkling wine in the world.
Prosecco DOC is produced in the low-lying valleys of Italy's Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions.
The art of cultivating vineyards in the fertile Prosecco area was developed over many centuries: the wine was already produced as far back as Roman times using the Glera grape, which initially grew near the village of Prosecco on the Karst hills above Trieste. At that time, it was known as Puccino.
In the 18th century, cultivation of Glera expanded throughout the hills of Veneto and Friuli and later spread to the lower areas of Veneto and Friuli. This is where the Prosecco we know today was first produced at the beginning of the 20th century, thanks to the introduction of new secondary fermentation technologies.
Prosecco DOC is made with the Glera grape and vinified using the Charmat method (also referred to as the tank method), in which secondary fermentation does not take place in individual bottles as in the Champenoise method (used to make Champagne), but in large steel tanks known as autoclaves, which keep the wine under pressure. This process was developed specifically to capture the fresh fruitiness of the Glera grape, as opposed to the yeasty, gently oxidized autolytic character of wines produced with the Champenoise method. The final result is a brilliant straw yellow wine with fine, persistent perlage and aromas of white flowers, apple and pear. It is fresh and elegant on the palate with moderate alcoholic strength.
In addition to Glera, regulations allow the addition of a maximum of 15% of the following varietals: Verdiso, Bianchetta Trevigiana, Perera, Glera lunga, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Nero.
The vines from which Prosecco is produced must grow exclusively to the area of North East Italy lying between Dolomites and the Adriatic Sea. The grapes come from five provinces in the Veneto region (Belluno, Padua, Treviso, Venice, Vicenza) and four provinces in Friuli Venezia Giulia (Gorizia, Pordenone, Trieste and Udine). When the wine is also produced and bottled exclusively in the provinces of Treviso and Trieste, a special mention may be written on the label in recognition of the invaluable part these two provinces have played in the history of Prosecco.
Click for full view.
The grapes are harvested during the first weeks of September when the organoleptic qualities (sugars, acidity, and aromatic substances) have reached their peak. During this process, it is important to avoid spontaneous fermentations.
After the grapes have been picked, they are crushed. The grapes are separated from their stems in preparation for pressing.
The free-run must is extracted from the grapes by soft pressing.
Selected yeasts are used to start the white winemaking process, transforming the sugar in the grapes into alcohol and CO2. The action of the yeasts (fermentation) lasts for around 15/20 days at a maximum temperature of 18°C to preserve the delicate aromas of the grapes. After fermentation, the ageing process begins and the wine is racked and filtered.
Secondary fermentation takes place using the Charmat method in large containers called autoclaves which keep the wine under pressure. This is the process by which the wine gets its famous bubbles. Toward the end of the secondary fermentation process, which lasts a minimum of 30 days, the temperature is lowered to stop fermentation, leaving enough residual sugar to guarantee balance and harmony.
The wines are finally bottled and labelled.
Depending on the level of pressure, Prosecco DOC can be Spumante (sparkling), Frizzante (semi-sparkling), or Tranquillo (still) depending on the perlage. In the wines designated Spumante, the pressure is between 1 and 2.5 bars; in those labeled Frizzante, the pressure is between 1 and 2.5 bars; and in those labeled Tranquillo, the pressure is lower than 1 bar.
Prosecco DOC Spumante is by far the most popular variety and has a fine long-lasting perlage. Prosecco DOC Frizzante has a light, less lingering perlage. Prosecco DOC Tranquillo is a still wine, with no perlage. In terms of sweetness, Proseccos are labelled "Brut" (up to 12 grams per litre of residual sugar), "Extra Dry" (12–17 g/l), or "Dry" (17–32 g/l). (Interestingly and slightly confusingly, Prosecco labeled "Dry" is the sweetest of the three.)
After undergoing primary fermentation, Prosecco Tranquillo is bottled, while the Frizzante and Spumante varieties continue to the final unique stage in the Prosecco process: secondary fermentation in pressurized stainless steel tanks.
Authentic Prosecco DOC is easily distinguishable by the state seal (pictured on the right), which must be applied on each bottle. The seal is applied onto the closing of the bottle in such a way as to prevent the seal from being used again and to prevent the contents of the bottle being removed without breaking the seal.

Trump asks Senate to approve North Macedonia joining NATO
News, Sputnik, World
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump has approved North Macedonia joining the NATO alliance as its 30th member state and has sent the treaty protocol confirming entry to the US Senate for its ratification, the White House said in a statement.
"I transmit herewith, for the advice and consent of the Senate to its ratification, the Protocol to the North Atlantic Treaty on the Accession of the Republic of North Macedonia," Trump said in the statement on Monday.
US Ambassador to NATO Kay Bailey Hutchison has said the United States expects N. Macedonia to join the alliance in the fall of 2019.
In June, Macedonian government of Zoran Zaev and Greek government of Alexis Tsipras reached the so-called Prespa agreement on changing Macedonia's name, identity and history.
The Macedonian parliament approved amendments to the country's constitution on January 11 in line with the Prespa agreement despite the fact that the vast majority of Macedonians rejected the agreement in a September 30, 2018 referendum, in which they also rejected Macedonia's membership in NATO and the European Union.
The Greek parliament ratified the Prespa agreement on February 8.
The World Macedonian Congress has said the Prespa agreement is null and void not only because it runs counter to the Macedonian people's expressed will in the September 30 referendum, as well as in previous referendum that affirms the Macedonians' name and identity and sovereign republic, but also because Macedonia's President Gjorge Ivanov has not signed the deal.
The World Macedonian Congress has also said the Prespa agreement was pushed for a vote in parliament by a government coalition installed in power by the United States via a "colour revolution," and under threat to parliamentarians' freedom and physical safety.
A current attempt by the Zaev government to validate the Prespa agreement via elections for president of North Macedonia has been met with mass boycott by Macedonians, calling into question whether the threshold of 40 percent turnout in the second round on May 5 may be reached at all.

Dynamic Minnesota Recount Maps
By: TJHalva | Comments [0] | Category: MN Recount | 11/22/2008 10:38:35 PM CT
The Minnesota Senate Recount is in full swing, and with new numbers posted daily, it can, at times seem overwhelming. But fear not, I've created a snazzy new image that dynamically updates each night (at 8 PM CT) upon the release of new data by the Secretary of State. The maps may initially seem cryptic, but its all explained below. I've also posted html and BBcode for each image so you can help spread the word, and keep others in the know.
The data from the SOS is provided at the precinct level, but our maps are only presentable at the county level. To compensate, our algorithm loops through the entire result adding each precinct's data to the associated county; the result of this computation provides a county level extrapolation that allows for a graphical visualization of the most current recount result.
Minnesota Senate Recount by County (490 x 610 Pixels):

[url=http://voteforamerica.net][img]http://www.voteforamerica.net/image.aspx?Type=Minnesota_9[/img][/url]
Franken vs Coleman (0%, 1, 3)
The upper left most map of Minnesota depicts the percent margin of victory in each county using the unofficial results of the Minnesota Senate election. All totals pertaining to unlisted candidates are included in our analysis. The color purple represents counties decided by less than 3% of the final margin, decrementing by 1 percent for each change in color. The darkest purple represents a voting margin of 1% or less, the middle purple between 1% and 2% and the lightest purple between 2-3%. The blue and red then represent counties that were decisively won by either Al Franken or Norm Coleman, respectively. The red and blue counties follow a 3% scale. The lightest blue (or red) represents a 3-6% margin, followed by 6-9% as the color grows darker, then finally a 9%+ margin of victory for the darkest blue (or red).
% Ballots Counted (0%, 16.6, 16.6)
The upper right most map illustrates the ratio between the number of recounted votes and the certified vote totals for each county. The counties in gray have yet to begin the recount process. If the percent of recounted votes over certified votes is less than 50%, the county is colored purple; if this ratio is greater than 50% the county is colored with respect to winning candidate, either blue or red. The color gradations take place in 16.6% divisions. The tint, for each color represents the highest range. For purple this range is 33.3-50% segment while the darkest blue (or red) represents the 83.3%-100% division. The color grows lighter as the percentage decreases.
Ballots Challenged (0%, 1, 7)
The bottom left map attempts to illustrate the discrepancy between challenged votes, in each county, by each candidate. The purple counties are divided into single challenge divisions while the partisan colors are separated by seven. The partisan coloring begins after a four challenge offset with blue representing a Franken challenge and red a Coleman challenge. Gray depicts counties with no challenge discrepancy; this may or may not include counties that have yet to begin recounting.
Recounted Vote Gain (0%, 1, 5)
The last image provides the net vote gain, per county based on the difference between the current recount result and the initially certified count. If less than 3 votes have been gained by either candidate in a given county that county will be colored purple in single vote divisions. If a candidate has a net gain of more than 3 votes in any county it will be colored accordingly; blue for Franken, and red for Coleman. The partisan coloring is done in 5 vote increments. Gray again represents counties that have yet to begin their recount process.
Preliminary Minnesota Election Results by County (490 x 610 Pixels):
The previous map follows about the same pattern as the first, but a full description is available in a previous article.

L'analyse psychologique est la méthode psychothérapeutique créée par Pierre Janet dès 1893.

Principe
Cette méthode propose d'analyser la « dynamique psychologique complexe » des sujets sains ou des patients. L'analyse psychologique consiste à déterminer les tendances du sujet et leur degré d'achèvement dans les actes, lequel dépend de sa force à agir. L'écart entre les buts des tendances et leur réalisation en actes est comblé par la « pensée intérieure » et le langage. L'analyse psychologique repose sur une connaissance approfondie de la biographie et de la personnalité du sujet.
Dans le cas pathologique grave de troubles dissociatifs, le psychisme confine certaines fonctions au subconscient, et la pathologie provient d'une part de l'indisponibilité de ces fonctions "oubliées" pour les besoins de la vie quotidienne consciente, et d'autre part de leur irruption incontrôlée à la place du "moi" principal, par crises. Le traitement, bien formalisé par les organisations internationales sur la dissociation, comporte plusieurs phases qui peuvent se résumer ainsi :
 diminuer les symptômes
 ré-associer au moi les fonctions dissociées
 consolider les forces du patient

La dernière étape voit réapparaître le cours normal de la synthèse mentale.

The Top Ten Worst Things About the Worst Pride Month Ever
It's often said that the first Pride was a riot. And that's true, insofar as modern Pride commemorates the uprising at Stonewall and the throwing, en masse, of bricks at cops. But perhaps more importantly, the first Pride was a fun, casual night on the town that went up in flames because straight people didn't know when to mind their fucking business and back the fuck off.
And in that sense, this year's Pride Month was a fitting tribute. Which is to say: it sucked. It sucked in a monumental, cataclysmic way, sucked in a way that demands all people of conscience to ask how we can keep anything like it from ever happening again. Like, we simply can't go on like this. If Pride — and notice how it's only "Pride" now, not "Gay Pride" or "Queer Pride" or even "LGBT Pride," but the safe, sanitized, corporate-friendly "Pride" — continues to be a parade of Budweiser floats drenched in rainbows and driven by Crab People, then, sincerely: what the fuck is the point of Pride?
And why, two years into the fucking Trump administration, when our rights are under serious, potentially world-ending attack, is this what Pride looks like? Doesn't this moment of crisis demand more than white Skittles and fourth-rate Taylor Swift jingles?
In a month full of miserable nonsense, these ten things stood out as especially miserable and nonsensical. Without further ado, from least to most serious, here are the Top Ten Crab People of Pride Month 2019:
10. John Waters Coming Out As Transphobic
I agree, John! Transgender children have had it too good for too long! We need to vigorously reinforce gender normativity on gender non-conforming children so they can endure years of brutal repression and then, in adulthood, once irreversible secondary sex characteristics have taken root, they can experience social rejection, grinding poverty, and epidemic mental illness and suicidality! Hell yeah! The real bigots are the many, many, many parents who are not only comfortable with their infant sons wearing dresses, but inclined to drag said sons kicking and screaming, against their will, to a Big Trans clinic for immediate gender reassignment surgery. This is absolutely a real thing that is happening and definitely a major cause for concern in an epoch where Donald Trump would be, like, openly murdering queers on the street if he could get away with it.
9. Neil Gaiman
I haven't watched Good Omens, the new TV series based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's novel of the same name — but why would I watch anything when watching Neil Gaiman engage in endless acts of homophobic dipshittery is infinitely more entertaining?
Yes, Neil. The two main characters of your TV show, who appear at all times as human men, who look, speak, and act like human men, who are played by real-life human men Michael Sheen and David Tennant, are not human men, but supernatural creatures, and therefore, nobody is allowed to interpret them as gay.
…But hold on, interpreting your totally-not-human-men supernatural characters as gay "robs men of intimate affection outside of romantic context," huh? If they're not men, why would reading them as gay rob men of anything, Neil? And why are you sincerely arguing that society has robbed men of the ability to express intimate affection when, categorically, the most represented relationship in popular media is platonic friendship between men? Gee, dude, should have spent a little more time weaving together the threads of that gossamer-thin wisp of a veil for your flagrant homophobia!
Ah, but wait, his characters can be trans! Not trans in the icky "transitioning from one gender to another" sense, like the real-world oppressed people who desperately need validation and representation from popular media, but, like, the snake-to-demon sense.
8. Where Do I Even Begin With Taylor Swift
Let me preface this by saying that I am calm. Very calm. I am writing this while tucked up in bed, eating an ice cream sundae, after a nice, relaxing day of writing and watching movies with friends. I am personally and professionally satisfied in my day-to-day life. I know that Taylor Swift has attempted to inoculate herself against criticism by titling the song "You Need to Calm Down," and I know that her army of stans — among whom I used to count myself; I paid real, human money to attend the Taylor Swift reputation Stadium Tour — has leapt into the mentions of any and all critics by spamming them with "u need 2 calm down," which, by the way, is definitely not something that calm people do. But I need to make it clear that I am presently calm, and yelling, "You need to calm down" at me is not going to be a successful rhetorical tactic.
Now, I have a lot of dear, dear friends who love Taylor Swift — and again, I used to love her, too, devotedly — and a lot of these friends are gay, bi, and trans, and they sincerely appreciate Taylor Swift's allyship, and I don't want to hurt my friends' feelings. So I'll try to keep this civil.
If you're going to write a gay pride anthem, write a gay pride anthem. Absolutely do not write a song where the first verse says "people are mean to me" and the second verse says "people are mean to gay people" and the chorus says "being mean to me and being mean to gay people are morally equivalent acts."
If you're going to tie your gay pride anthem to a political action, I'm so sorry, but you have to do better than asking people to sign a Change.org petition for a piece of D.O.A. legislation that is absolutely guaranteed to die on the desk of President Donald Trump if it doesn't die on the Republican Senate floor first, which, spoiler alert, it will. I don't think I'm out of line in saying that people with enormous power and influence who seek to involve themselves in political action should invest their time and energy in action that has more than a snowball's chance in hell of success. There are lots and lots and lots of things Taylor Swift could have done to materially improve the lives of LGBTQ people in America; gathering signatures for legislation that will never pass is not one of them!
Lots of people — including dear friends of mine, including adult media professionals who should know better — are convinced that Taylor Swift is secretly closeted, and that "You Need to Calm Down" is proof positive that she is gay or bisexual and living in "the glass closet." I don't know how to tell you people that rounding up Laverne Cox, Todrick Hall, Hayley Kiyoko, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, the entire cast of Queer Eye, Adams Rippon and Lambert, Ellen DeGeneres, Billy Porter, RuPaul, and half a dozen Drag Race queens to be in a music video where you sing "Why be mad when you can be GLAAD?" proves nothing except that Taylor Swift is terminally, incurably heterosexual.
Okay, and here's something I don't feel any need to be civil about: Jade Jolie, who portrays Taylor Swift in the "You Need to Calm Down" video, once starred in a neo-Nazi themed adult film! And took pictures doing the Nazi salute in full Nazi uniform! And Jade Jolie confirmed it was her and said she was "not sorry" about it!
Love that! Love that for the gay community!
7. Fucking Endless Debates About Whether or Not Puppy Play Belongs at Pride
For all the interminable hand-wringing about whether or not children's heads will explode if they see a leather daddy at Pride, the solution to this problem is so obvious it hurts: separate Pride events that celebrate adult sexuality from family-friendly Pride events. It is literally that simple. When I volunteered at Ottawa Pride, there was a family area at the south end of the festival grounds with face-painting, balloons, and Drag Queen Story Time. At the north end of the festival grounds, there were leather demos, a nudist beer garden, and adults barking at each other. See how easy that was?
6. Coming Out Via A Monetized Endorsement Deal
Jonathan Van Ness of Queer Eye coming out as non-binary: hooray!
Jonathan Van Ness of Queer Eye coming out as part of a spon-con deal with a nail polish manufacturer to sell cosmetics to non-binary people: absolutely unconscionable! A new low in Crab Peoplehood!
Alex Verman wrote a very, very good piece about this over at Daily Xtra, and I will quote them at length:
My problem is not that some trans people got a couple thousand dollars for corporate shilling. Rather, I am uncomfortable with how smoothly and painlessly this plainly transactional relationship has been packaged as a form of activism, a dead-eyed and clickably commercial call to action emanating from the same people who simultaneously flood their social media platforms with the insistence that "Stonewall was a riot." Maybe so. But when trans people are still dying due to criminalization and poverty, what use is any form of "activism" that does not call it out, work to defeat it and hold it accountable? What merit is there to activism that only demands we buy more, not change the policies that kill us?
It's easy for companies to score progressive points by creating a wider market for their products, and it's easy for influencers to treat their money-making platforms as outlets for social change. But it is not activism, and it does very little to improve the circumstances of those who are so often forgotten by the LGBTQ2 mainstream — sex workers, immigrants, those in prison and trans people of colour who don't have the kind of capital or status necessary to insulate themselves from the violence of racism and transphobia. Now that Pride month has come to a close, it's worth asking why we accept that consumer choice is all we have at our disposal to advocate for improved conditions for transgender people. "Visibility" is not enough.
5. The Whole Carlos Maza Thing
Since I started working at Vox, Steven Crowder has been making video after video "debunking" Strikethrough. Every single video has included repeated, overt attacks on my sexual orientation and ethnicity. Here's a sample: pic.twitter.com/UReCcQ2Elj
— Carlos Maza (@gaywonk) May 31, 2019
Really fucking bold of Google and YouTube to drape their websites in rainbow branding and march in Pride parades while doing absolute jack-shit about homophobic bigots who build their entire "careers" around calling gay journalists "fags" and "lispy queers!" Even that's underselling the severity of the harassment; watch the video and you'll see a pattern of ongoing, unrepentant hatred directed at a single person who has done absolutely nothing wrong except be a visibly gay Latino.
Should YouTube have closed this schmuck's channel over this? Deleted the videos? Temporarily suspended the videos and given the dude the option to edit out the hurtful content? I'd be a lot more willing to have calm debates about free speech if YouTube wasn't also hosting hordes of literal Neo-Nazis who push holocaust denial and phrenology on teenagers looking for Fortnite Let's Plays!
In conclusion, follow the only good YouTuber, ContraPoints:
4. ICE's Special Camp Just For Trans Women
Multiple trans women have died in ICE custody, but that's not going to stop ICE from bragging about their shiny new prison just for trans women!

3. Too Many Fucking Idiotic Ad Campaigns to Mention
Lots and lots of contenders for the worst of the bunch here, but I'd like to talk about an unsung hero: the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, whose Pride campaign:
a) does not mention gay people;
b) is indistinguishable from a normal ad campaign for alcohol;
c) preys on the LGBT community's long history of alcoholism and substance abuse;
d) bastardizes the symbolism of the rainbow flag by representing each colour as alcohol;
e) represents the pink triangle, a symbol which originated in Nazi concentration camps, as liquor in a martini glass.
Sadly, all of this is pretty standard for Pride ad campaigns! If you peek inside the corporate playbook, it pretty much just says:
Step One: Put a rainbow on it.
Step Two: ???
Step Three: Profit.
Good God, I'm recycling a lot of South Park jokes for this piece.
2. The Cops
THE!
FUCKING!
COPS!
1. Nobody Remembers the Point of Stonewall, Apparently
At an official event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, the openly bisexual gun violence activist and school shooting survivor Emma Gonzalez was forced to cut her speech short because the event had run overtime and the police were threatening to shut it down.
I got to speak at the World Pride Stonewall Rally event today in NYC and I'm so so thankful to be a part of the LGBT Community 🙏🏼🙏🏼 also for those who were there, sorry I rushed – the events permit was an hour overdue and the cops were boutta shut us down lmao 😅
— Emma González (@Emma4Change) June 29, 2019
Literally, an event designed to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of a historical moment in which LGBT people rose up against police… was shut down. By police.
A few nights earlier, a black trans woman briefly interrupted a drag show at Stonewall to read the names of all the black trans women who have been murdered in 2019… and the crowd threatened to call the cops on her.
The people at the bar started muttering about calling the cops and we both started saying "no. You can't call the cops." Other patrons were trying to convince her to back down, of course. We tried talking to her about what she wanted to do. She still wanted to speak but
— Aspen (They/Them) (@aspeneberhardt) June 28, 2019
What makes this incident even more upsetting than the Emma Gonzalez episode is that, this time, it was, presumably, actual LGBT people threatening to call the police on one of their own. We can't blame this one on straight people; the bullshit is coming from inside the house.
Truly, sincerely, fuck this Pride Month. If this was a test of our spiritual mettle during a presidential administration devoted to cutting down our rights, we failed miserably. Straight allies, step it up. Cis allies, step it the fuck up.
In conclusion, the only thing that did not suck about this Pride Month was that I spent the first day of it swimming fully nude in the Mediterranean Sea on an absolutely flawless day on the beach in Barcelona before drying myself off and going to a Lizzo concert on a different beach in Barcelona. There, Lizzo cried out, "Anybody ever dated a fuckboy? What about a fuck-girl? What about a fuck, uh, they-or-them? Like, gender-non-conforming? Hey, they're an asshole, too!"
For the rest of 2019: more of that energy, less of The Cops.

Maxwell says:
This is a good article and I agree with almost everything you said BUT in regards to the second tweet you cited from Neil Gaiman, if you go to his Twitter and read the full thing that he retweeted, it is not actually making the claim that gay headcanons rob men of intimacy, it's in fact responding to that idea with a statement that people should be free to their interpretations, and THAT'S what he was agreeing to.
Otherwise, great article, shitty pride, keep writing I love your stuff
Hell Nah says:
See I knew someone would be here with this comment about Gaiman and I have to disagree.
Having read the SF chronical article in question I think Neil Straightman's choice to quote tweet a mention of the SINGLE SETENCE IN THE DARN ARTICLE to lament the loss of potential Bromance is a calculated one
sure he has the plausible deniability of saying that he means we can ship what we want. but if that were the case surely he could just stay quiet and not jump in to explain how they're not really gay because something something "making an effort"
It sucks when our fave writers turn out to be homophobic dumbasses but the guy is uncomfortable with the idea that the same gay readings that make the novel enjoyable in the first place[1] might include men touching the skin of other men [2]
[1] for many people, or at least those with taste
[2] or man approximating celestial/occult beings
#11 for me was when my childhood denomination removed a whole church for being LGBTQ friendly and a pastor for officiating his son's gay wedding. On the anniversary of Stonewall. The optics and homophobia sis
I accidentally got my faculty advisor removed as department head and a whole program cancelled at my University cause the I made a yearbook that looked, "Too Gay"!!!!! FUCK this month

Q: EXC_BAD_ACCESS / SIGSEGV when uploading with FTP library on iOS (CFWriteStreamOpen) I am using FTPHelper to perform basic download/upload FTP functions. I have been getting frequent crashes when using it to upload to my destination. The crashes don't seem to ever occur on the first upload but become more and more likely as I make subesequent calls. Xcode spits out EXC_BAD_ACCESS(code=1, address=0x30) at line 517 of the helper class::
success = CFWriteStreamOpen(writeStream);

I've enabled exception breakpoints and zombies but I'm not seeing anything I can make sense of. Here's a snap of what my stack trace looks like at each crash:

I have been able to recreate this same stack trace with several other FTP libraries (BlackRaccon and FTPManager).
The file being uploaded is a simple one generated from the user's interaction with the UI, meaning it's dynamic based on what the user selects on screen. Here is the code that generates, locally saves, and uploads the file:
//Prepare to write a new file to the device and then upload it
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *putContent = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"V%d\n", (int)(funnySlider.value * -1)];
NSString *writepath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"foo.dat"];

//if the path exists
if([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:writepath]){

    //Upload the newly created file
    [putContent writeToFile:writepath atomically:NO encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:nil];
    [FTPHelper upload:@"foo.dat"];
}

Some odd things I wanted to highlight as well... Filling foo.dat with lots of mumbo jumbo content to increase its file size makes the app much more stable. It's almost reliable at 100KB+. I also have no crashes when using an iPod Touch 4th Generation (okay, I had ONE but it was after dozens and dozens of test sessions). iPhones and iPads do however. Any ideas on how to fix this or why it might be happening? Should I abandon this mode of uploading?

A: The issue encountered in the posted question is actually a reported bug in CFFTPStream. I received this information from another posting I made to the Apple dev forums when this post wasn't getting any attention.
After calling CFWriteStreamCreateWithFTPURL, immediately disable the stream's persistent connections like so:
CFWriteStreamSetProperty(writeStream,
                         kCFStreamPropertyFTPAttemptPersistentConnection,
                         kCFBooleanFalse);

More information can be found here in another StackOverflow question I stumbled upon when doing some more research and in the post I made to the dev forums. Hope this helps somebody!

Think a minute…There's a story about a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he got angry and lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence. The first day, the boy hammered 37 nails into the fence! But over the next few weeks, as the boy was learning to control his temper, the number of nails he hammered each day gradually became fewer. Soon the boy discovered that it was easier to hold his temper than hammer nails into the fence.
Finally the day came, when the boy did not lose his temper one time. He went to his father and proudly told him that he'd finally learned to control his anger. His father was very pleased. Then he told his son to go back to the fence and start pulling out one nail each day that he continued controlling his temper. Many days later the boy was so proud of himself the day he announced to his father that he had finally been able to pull out all the nails in the fence.

King-Devick Testing Kits For Chicago Schools: Just One Tool In Concussion Tool Box
Submitted by Brooke de Lench on Sun, 08/26/2012 - 15:50. | comments
Concussion Recognition & Evaluation
Dave Duerson
King-Devick
News & Studies
sideline assessment of concussion
Last week's announcement that a foundation named in honor of the late Chicago Bear Dave Duerson had donated a King-Devick test kit to each of Chicago Public School's 80 high school football programs for use in assessing athletes for suspected concussion on the sports sideline, and that the foundation will work with CPS and the K-D Test manufacturer to implement system-wide testing, was welcome news.
So too was that the Dave Duerson Family Foundation, thru individual and corporate sponsors, plans to roll out its program in other cities in the U.S.
As MomsTEAM has been reporting since it burst on the concussion scene two years ago, the K-D Test has shown promise in three early studies - one of mixed martial arts athletes, a second of U.S. college athletes, and a third of New Zealand rugby players - in rapidly and reliably assessing an athlete for suspected concussion so that he or she can either be allowed to return to game or practice action or referred for a more complete evaluation using other concussion assessment tools, such as SCAT2.
The New Zealand study also found, unexpectedly, that the test had the added benefit of being able to identify players who had not shown, or reported, any signs or symptoms of a concussion, but who were later found to have had suffered a meaningful head injury. The K-D test thus has the potential, if administered to athletes after every game or practice, to help identify mild traumatic brain injuries that would otherwise go undetected, either because the player failed - as is so often the case - to self-report suffering symptoms or because they did not exhibit signs of concussion that could be observed by game officials or sideline personnel. 1
To be sure, K-D has generated a lot of positive buzz. Some, including consumer advocate Ralph Nader's group League of Fans, have likened the discovery that a test, invented by two Chicago-area optometrists twenty-five years ago and long used to test vision and reading, had the potential to provide rapid and accurate sideline screening of concussion to finding concussion's "missing link": a simple, easy-to-use test that anyone, even someone without any medical training, could use to determine whether an athlete is concussed.
One of the news reports, by the local ABC affiliate, even went so far as to quote a high school football player, who had suffered a concussion two seasons ago, as proclaiming that the test allowed for a concussion to be "diagnosed on the sideline [so] you know right away and there's no guessing."
First of all, since when is a high school student qualified to make such a sweeping statement? It was sloppy journalism for the television station to use him a source, and conveyed, I submit, the wrong impression that K-D was one-stop shopping as far as concussion diagnosis is concerned.
Second, the fact is that scientific validation of the K-D Test, while extremely promising, is still in its early stages, with only three peer-reviewed studies so far. The New Zealand rugby study demonstrated that it was helpful in sideline assessment for concussion for high school athletes, but it has not yet been validated in youth sports setting. 2 Indeed, I am currently working with a high school football team in Oklahoma which is using the K-D Test as a component of a comprehensive concussion management program that MomsTEAM helped them design (as the press release issued by the Chicago Public Schools, to its credit, correctly notes, the K-D Test "does not replace any other assessment for concussion, but serves as a complement." )
In other words, the K-D test shows promise as another tool in the concussion assessment toolbox, not the only tool.
It does not diagnose concussion.
It does not take the guesswork out of making a concussion diagnosis. As I know from working with and talking to countless concussion experts over the past twelve years, the fact is that, despite all of the research on concussions over the last decade, diagnosing mild traumatic brain injury is still, and likely will be for the foreseeable future, largely a matter of clinical judgment. Simply put, there is a lot we know about concussions and how to disagnose them, but there is a lot we don't know and have yet to find out.
The bottom line: there is no magic bullet when it comes to concussion diagnosis. King-Devick appears to be a simple, rapid, easy-to-use, and reliable test to use as one way to determine on the sports sideline whether to allow an athlete to return to the action or be referred for additional testing and, administered after every game or practice, may be a way of combatting, at least in part, the problem of chronic under-reporting of concussions.
Every stakeholder in youth and high school sports, whether they be parent, athlete, coach, athletic trainer, team doctor, or administrator, needs to understand that, as far as concussion identification, evaluation, diagnosis and managment is concerned, the best approach is to employ an "all of the above" strategy. K-D testing can be, and likely will be, an important part of that strategy, but my advice, just as the CPS recognized, is that it isn't time to put all our concussion eggs into the K-D basket.

Updated August 27, 2012 as follows:
1. This paragraph is new.
2. The original blog stated that I was not aware of any peer-reviewed study that validated use of the K-D Test at the high school level. On closer examination of the New Zealand rugby study, it did include a group of U17 rugby players with an average age of 16.4 years.

Amazon Prime Day Deals: What We Expect To Be On Sale
Amazon has announced the dates for Prime Day!
June 2, 2021 June 2, 2021 by Marie Rossiter
Amazon dropped some big news, and it's what we've been waiting almost a year to hear. The online retailer confirmed Amazon Prime Day 2021 will once again be a two-day sale event, and it's coming up soon! Get out those calendars and circle June 21 and June 22 as Amazon Prime Days, and get ready to shop and save.
This year's Amazon Prime Day event is the earliest we've seen scheduled — usually it happens sometime in July. This is a welcome change after last year's Prime Day got delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
What can you expect to find the best savings on during the two-day Amazon Prime Day sale? We've got a rundown on what Amazon has confirmed, as well as our best guesses on what must-have items will have the best deals.
Here's what you need to know about Amazon Prime Day 2021.
When Is Amazon Prime Day 2021?
Amazon Prime Day 2021 kicks off at midnight PDT on June 21 and runs through June 22. The event is open to Prime members in the U.S., the U.K., United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Spain, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Portugal, Netherlands, Mexico, Luxembourg, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, China, Brazil, Belgium, Austria and Australia.
How Many Items Will Be Discounted During Amazon Prime Day 2021?
According to Amazon's official announcement, "more than 2 million deals" will be available globally for its Prime customers.
"The two-day shopping extravaganza will offer Prime members over 2 million deals across every category, including fashion, electronics, toys, home décor, automotive, and more. Plus, early deals and promotions are already underway," the announcement said.
What Will The Best Deals Be During Amazon Prime Day 2021?
Amazon didn't give any information on specific items that will be included in its Prime Day deals. However, we've drawn on items that were popular sellers past Prime Day sales to determine what's likely to be discounted come Prime Day.
HD TVs are often on sale during Prime Day. If you're looking something right now, this Insignia 24-inch HD Smart Fire TV has Amazon Fire services built-in, which includes a voice remote with Alexa functionality, streaming service accessibility for programming, apps, games and more. It has a 720p resolution for a clear picture at a great price: It retails for $169.99, and the current Prime Exclusive Deal is $99.99, a 41% discount.
Instant Pots
The Instant Pot was uber-popular in multiple countries two years in a row, so odds are it will be on sale this year, too. In 2018, some Instant Pots were on sale for 41% off and sold out early, so Amazon ended up discounting a different multi-cooker instead.
If you want to jump on the savings early, take a took at the Instant Pot Duo Plus 6 Quart 9-in-1 Pressure Cooker. It's on sale right now for $99.99 (marked down from $119.99) and you can get an early Prime Day Deal of a $10 credit when you buy $40 or more on select Amazon Gift Cards.
Been wanting an air fryer but waiting for a good deal? Amazon Prime Day 2021 may be a good time to finally take the leap. This handy kitchen appliance's popularity rivals the Instant Pot, so we're betting Amazon slashes prices on a few models. Right now, there's an early Prime deal on the Ultrean 4.2-Quart Air Fryer. It's marked down to $69.99 from the regular $99.99 retail price. This deal also includes the extra $10 if you purchase $40 or more on select Amazon gift cards.
Fitbit Fitness Trackers
In a previous years, Fitbit trackers, including the Fitbit Sense Advanced Smartwatch, were included in Amazon Prime Day deals. Keep an eye out for this watch or other fitness tracking products to be part of an Amazon Prime Day deal this year, too.
Spend $10, Get $10 Deals From Small Businesses
Amazon will highlight products from small businesses this year for Prime Day, too.
"To make it easy for customers to support small businesses this Prime Day, Amazon has curated collections to connect customers with small businesses at amazon.com/supportsmall," Amazon announced. "Customers can shop across collections, including from Black-owned, woman-owned, and military family-owned small businesses."
Amazon also has a Spend $10, Get $10 deal for Prime Day. From June 7 through June 20, Amazon will offer a $10 credit to use on Prime Day to members who spend $10 on select U.S.-based small business products and brands in Amazon's store, including products from Amazon Handmade and Amazon Launchpad.
In addition to the Spend $10, Get $10 deal, Amazon will offer a special deal for Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Card or Amazon Prime Store Card customers: a 10% cash back promotional on all small business product purchases.
What are you on the lookout for this year during Amazon Prime Day?

Eric & Karen Brauer
SERGE – Ireland, Czech Republic, and Romania
Eric & Karen Brauer are workers with Serge. Eric is an Area Director, supervising Serge teams in Dublin, Ireland, Prague, Czech Republic, and Cluj, Romania. In addition to supervising team-leading couples, Eric is a mentor/coach of national church planters/leaders.
For 15 years, Eric led the Serge facilitative church planting team in Ireland – equipping, training and coaching Irish church planters. In February 2017, Eric and Karen moved to Vienna, Austria with the hope of coaching and mentoring national church planters and leaders throughout the region.
Currently, Eric and Karen are working with church-leading couples in Austria, Czech Republic, and Germany. After two years of teaching high school art at Black Forest Academy (BFA) in Kandern, Germany, Karen has re-engaged her creative gifts, teaching, and relational skills in leading painting workshops and personally mentoring women.
Eric and Karen have seven adult children and five grandchildren.
Jay & Holly Eastman
MTW – East Germany
After both becoming Christians, Jay and Holly met at Ohio State University. Jay and Holly joined MTW's church-planting work in East Germany in 2001. Their mission is to build a bridge between those who have never heard about Christ to the church. They focus on evangelism and reaching out into the community.
They have supported the work of two MTW church plants now under national leadership. Since 2005, Jay has been the team leader for MTW's venture in southeastern Berlin.
Richey & Keli Goodrich
MTW – Australia
Richey & Keli Goodrich grew up an hour outside of Dallas, Texas. They both felt called to spread the saving glory of Jesus in missions from the time they were around 19 years old. Keli wanted to do this as a nurse. Richey wanted to do this as a pastor, church planter, and theological educator.
In 1999, they married with the goal of answering Christ's call together. Keli eventually became a women's health nurse practitioner and Richey an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church in America. In 2010, they moved to South Asia to train indigenous pastors and plant and pastor a church in a global city. They loved their ministry, but after almost six years in the field they were denied visas and it became clear God was calling them elsewhere.
After several years in Sydney, Australia, where Richey was involved in university and pastoral ministry, Richey and his family are planning to return to India. Richey and Keli have five children: Hadassah, Josiah, Hannah, Jedidiah and Hadarah.
Guercy MeMe
The relationship between Guercy MeMe and CPC started after the 2010 earthquake in Port au Prince, Haiti. At the time, Guercy was serving with MTW, coordinating teams from the U.S. coming to help in the aftermath.
Now serving in his hometown of Gonaives, Haiti, Guercy is operating an orphanage of about 80 children, ages 18 months to 13 years. Our relationship picked up again when Guercy contacted CPC about building a facility for the children. Up to that point, the children were placed in the homes of families of a local church. In 2014, a team from CPC went to Goniaves to see the start of the new building after raising the necessary finances. Since then a second story has been added and an adjacent property purchased for a potential new school and micro-business.
We are blessed to be an ongoing participant with Guercy in the support of the orphanage.
We would invite your prayers for him, his wife Evelyn, and their young son, and to uphold the children there, that they would know Christ as Savior and serve Him faithfully in their city.
Jon & Sarah Pfeil
MTW – Japan
Jon and Sarah Pfeil have served as missionaries with Mission to the World (MTW) in Japan since 2006. Japan is a country well known for its technology and economic influence, yet few people realize that the Japanese are the world's second largest unreached people group (www.joshuaproject.net).
The Pfeils are partnering with Japanese pastor Seima Aoyagi to plant Grace Harbor Church Tokyo in the Tokyo waterfront area. This area includes 146,000 people with only one other small church. Please pray for the establishment and growth of Grace Harbor Church Tokyo and pray for wisdom and resources for subsequent church-planting sites to reach this Tokyo waterfront area with the life-transforming power of the gospel.

Rethinking Aggression: A Typological Examination of the Functions of Aggression

We compared five subgroups of aggressive youth (n = 1,723, Grades 5 through 10) on a number of adjustment correlates. The subgroups were determined by the self-reported functions (i.e., "why") of their aggressive behavior: (a) an "instrumental" group who were high on instrumental reasons only; (b) a "reactive" group who were high on reactive reasons only; (c) a "both" group who were high on both dimensions; (d) a "typical" group who were moderate on both dimensions; and (e) a "neither" group who were low on both dimensions. The reactive and both groups showed consistent maladaptive patterns across the adjustment correlates. The instrumental and typical groups both showed generally adaptive and well-adjusted patterns. Surprisingly, the neither group revealed high levels of aggressive acts and showed consistent maladaptive patterns on the correlates. These distinct profiles highlight the utility of a typological approach to classifying aggressive youth and have implications for both assessment and intervention.

This map illustrates satellite-detected areas flood waters along the Limpopo River in the Guija and Chokwe districts of Gaza Province, Mozambique, as detected by FORMOSAT-2 imagery acquired 24 January 2013. There has been a dramatic increase of flood waters from 23rd â?? 24th January 2013. Multiple villages including the city of Chokwe are completely inundated by flood waters along the river. Flood waters have begun streaming south of Chokwe city into surrounding agricultural areas, also affecting villages south of the city. East of the Limpopo river additional villages are inundated as flood waters progress south east from the river. Large sections of road and railroad are also potentially affected. This is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR / UNOSAT.

Cert. to the Supreme Court of Alabama
The Court decided in favor of the petitioners, holding that "Immunity from state scrutiny of petitioner's membership lists is here so related to the right of petitioner's members to pursue their lawful private interests privately and to associate freely with others in doing so as to come within the protection of the Fourteenth Amendment" and, further, that freedom to associate with organizations dedicated to the "advancement of beliefs and ideas" is an inseparable part of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People v. Alabama, 357 U.S. 449 (1958), was an important civil rights case brought before the United States Supreme Court.
Alabama sought to prevent the NAACP from conducting further business in the state. After the circuit court issued a restraining order, the state issued a subpoena for various records, including the NAACP's membership lists. The Supreme Court ruled that Alabama's demand for the lists had violated the right of due process guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
In 1956, the Attorney General of Alabama, John Patterson, brought a suit to the State Circuit Court of Montgomery, Alabama, challenging the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) for violation of a state statute requiring foreign corporations to qualify before doing business in the state. The NAACP, a nonprofit membership corporation based in New York, had not complied with the statute, as it believed it was exempt. The state suit sought both to prevent the Association from conducting further business within the state and, indeed, to remove it from the state.
Referring to the Association's involvement with the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 and its role in funding and providing legal assistance to black students' seeking admission to the state university, the suit charged that the Association was ". . . causing irreparable injury to the property and civil rights of the residents and citizens of the State of Alabama for which criminal prosecution and civil actions at law afford no adequate relief . . . ." On the day this suit was filed, the circuit court agreed to issue an ex parte order restraining the Association from conducting business in the state or taking steps to qualify it to do so.
The Association, represented throughout by Robert L. Carter of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, responded by moving to dissolve the order on the grounds that its activities within the state did not require its qualification under the statute and that the state's suit was intended to violate its rights to freedom of speech and of assembly as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. Before a hearing date was set, the state issued a subpoena for much of the Association's records, including bank statements and leases, but most notably the names and addresses of the "agents" or "members" of the Association in Alabama.
In its response to the lawsuit, the Association admitted that it was in breach of the statute and offered to obtain qualification to continue business if that part of the ex parte order was lifted. Because the Association did not comply with the order to produce its records, that motion was denied and the Association was held in contempt and fined $10,000. The contempt order allowed for the reduction or remission of the fine if the production order was complied with within five days, after which the fine would be raised to $100,000.
Contending that the State could not constitutionally force disclosure of the records, the Association moved to dismiss the contempt judgment once more. According to Alabama case law, however, a petitioner could not seek a hearing or to dissolve an order until it purged itself of contempt.
Lead attorney on NAACP v. Alabama, Judge William Treanor
The United States Supreme Court reversed the first contempt judgment. The Alabama Supreme Court then claimed the U.S. Supreme Court had relied on a "mistaken premise" and reinstated the contempt judgment, which the U.S. Supreme Court reversed again. The NAACP moved to try the case on the merits; this motion was denied and again appealed up to the U.S. Supreme Court, which remanded the case to Alabama, and ordered the Federal district court to try the case on the merits if the Alabama court system continued to refuse to do so.
The Alabama state circuit court finally heard the case on the merits, and decided the NAACP had violated Alabama law and ordered it to stop doing business in the state; the Alabama appeals courts upheld this judgment, refusing to hear the NAACP's appeals on Constitutional grounds. Finally, the fourth time the case was heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, it granted certiorari and decided the case, itself, on the merits rather than remand the case to the balking Alabama court system, which had taken five years to get this far.
In an opinion delivered by Justice Fourteenth Amendment. The action of the state's obtaining the names of the Association's membership would likely interfere with the free association of its members, so the state's interest in obtaining the records was superseded by the constitutional rights of the petitioners.

New Delhi, Nov 9: National Green Tribunal, (NGT) observed "It is shameful for all the parties in this matter on what they're passing on to the next generation"
It further observed, "Even construction work taking place openly isn't being stopped, and when such a situation has ensued now action is being promised".
NGT has asked Delhi Government on the steps taken to curtail pollution, the number of challans issued to violators and the number of construction sites where work has been stopped. NGT asked, why rain isn't artificially being triggered using helicopters.
NGT further slammed neighboring states of Delhi and raised question on their seriousness on the grievous situation.
All the constitutional authorities and statutory bodies measurably failed to perform their duties. So far pollution is the concern, it is a joint responsibility of all the stakeholders" said NGT.
On Wednesday the National Green Tribunal had lashed out at the Delhi government and the Central Pollution Control Board for not issuing orders to shut down construction and industrial activities in the capital despite the worsening air quality.
It also ordered Punjab, UP and Haryana governments to spell out the steps have they taken to prevent crop burning in the states adjacent to the national capital.
The green panel directed the Delhi Pollution Control Committee to collect ambient air quality samples from different parts of the city and submit an analysis containing details of different pollutants, including particulate matter (PM) 2.5 and 10.
Making scathing remarks, it asked the Delhi authorities to explain why steps were not taken to stop construction and industrial activities causing emission in the entire national capital.
As the national capital reeled under heavy smog, the NGT had yesterday asked the governments of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana to explain why preventive steps were not taken to control the 'severe' air quality in the region.
