Halloween Safety Tips and Crime Myths
J.D. Valesco
Daily News: Los Angeles
Halloween is a time for fear and fright, but some common worries about the ghastly holiday may be overblown, experts say.
There are legitimate safety issues to consider on the holiday - pedestrian-vehicle accidents, fire hazards, dogs who get into chocolate.
But many of the scariest Halloween horror stories - poisoned candy, satanic sacrifices of pets, and rampant criminal activity - have little basis in reality.
Amanda Perez, a lecturer in American studies at Cal State Fullerton, calls those kind of myths and legends "Halloween sadism."
"It's this idea that bad things happen on Halloween," Perez said.
West Covina Police Chief Frank Wills said fear of holiday dangers seem to have resulted in fewer costumed kids roaming the streets in search of treats on Halloween.
"People lament that you used to see the residential streets bustling with children and you don't see that as much anymore," Wills said.
Poison and razors
Perhaps the most common cause of parental angst on Halloween is the prospect of a child being given candy laced with poison or drugs, or apples stuffed with razor blades.
The poisoned candy myth has its origins in a case that occurred in New York state in 1964, when a woman passed out ant poison, dog biscuits and steel wool to children she thought were too old to be trick or treating.
"She said she was doing it not to the kids, but to these older kids that were coming by for candy," Perez said. "This is when I think really a lot of the folklore about tainted candy got into circulation."
There have been incidents in which children have been killed or sickened by candy tainted with poison or drugs, but not by strangers, said Eileen Wallis, a Cal Poly Pomona history professor.
"That has happened a couple of times, but it's always been a relative," Wallis said. "It's always been a murder concealed as an accidental poisoning or a stranger poisoning."
The myth of poisoned candy was further cemented in people's minds by later unrelated events, Wallis said.
"I think a lot of it got tangled up with the Tylenol scare back in the `80s," Wallis said, referring to the 1982 murders of seven Chicago-area people through Tylenol that had been laced with cyanide. No one was ever convicted of the crime.
Incidents of apples containing razor blades have also occurred, but they were "pranks gone wrong," Wallis said.
Those pranks were between friends or siblings, not strangers, she said.
Rumors of temporary tattoos laced with LSD or PCP are variations on the same myth, Wallis said.
"We do know that powerful myths have a way of simply evolving over time," Wallis said. "It's like the old game of telephone."
These kind of myths are a natural outgrowth of a parents' desire to protect their children, Wallis said.
"It's about vulnerability and the vulnerability of children," Wallis said. "It's about letting your children go up to a stranger's house that you don't know."
Satanic sacrifices
Another persistent urban legend about Halloween is that pets, particularly black cats, will be captured by satanic cults and sacrificed if they are allowed outside.
Perez of Cal State Fullerton said it's a belief dating back to the celebration of Samhain by ancient Celts. The holiday marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter.
As Christianity spread through Europe and found itself in conflict with the pagan beliefs of the Celts, rumors were spread of human sacrifices on Samhain. The idea that pets are being sacrificed for satanic rituals is the modern incarnation of the belief.
"I think in the popular imagination these things have gotten mixed up," Perez said.
Pay Brayer, president of the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society, said rumors of pet sacrifice don't match with what she's seen in her career.
"We haven't had any experience of anything happening to pets on Halloween," Brayer said.
Some people will point out the fact that many animal shelters refuse to adopt out black cats near Halloween as proof that satanic activities are real, but Wallis said there's a more mundane reason for such policies.
"People might adopt them as props. You want to have a cat for Halloween," Wallis said. "It's like when people adopt bunnies around Easter."
Satanists or not, Halloween does present some very real dangers for cats, Brayer said.
"Bad things happen to cats that are outside to begin with," Brayer said. "Most kids are good, but sometimes if the opportunity presents itself..."
Halloween is fraught with danger for dogs as well, Brayer said.
"The biggest danger to primarily dogs is chocolate, it's deadly to them," Brayer said.
And the hustle and bustle of trick-or-treaters can be unsettling for dogs, she said. People should treat the holiday like July 4 and keep their dogs secured for the night, she said.
"We see dogs that get out their yard because they're afraid," Brayer said. "Even the children of the family dressed in costume is going to be different. They may find it threatening."
Real dangers
Though some of the rumors of Halloween dangers are based more on fear than fact, there are important safety precautions to remember while out for the night, authorities said.
West Covina Police Chief Wills advised parents and motorists both to exercise caution. Trick-or-treaters should be given flashlights or dressed with reflective clothing, Wills said.
"Sometimes traffic collisions spike on Halloween," he said.
Pedestrian fatalities do increase significantly on Halloween, according to statistics compiled by the California Office of Traffic Safety. Statewide, an average of 3.4 pedestrians were killed each Halloween from 2006 and 2010. An average day sees 1.7 pedestrian deaths.
Injuries to pedestrians were much higher, averaging 56 each Halloween during the same period statewide. About 35 pedestrians are injured on an average day.
Calls to police departments also increase on Halloween. In 2011, the Pomona Police Department received 15 percent more calls on Halloween than it did on the same day the previous week. That figure was 9 percent for the Whittier police. But calls to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department only increased by 2 percent compared with the seven-day average leading up to the holiday.
But Wills said additional calls to law enforcement do not necessarily mean more crimes are occurring.
"One of the other myths is that there's more crime on Halloween - sometimes that's true, sometimes it's not," Wills said.
Calls to the Los Angeles County Fire Department also increase, but statistics were not available, said Inspector Tony Imbrenda.
"I suspect there is more fire activity on Halloween," Imbrenda said. "Jack-o-lanterns near drapes or other flammable materials are an issue."
Some fire department calls are for injuries related to costumes, he said. Imbrenda advised parents to ensure their children's costumes are flame-proof and said trailing items that can get caught on things should be avoided. Shoes should be comfortable and easy to walk in, he said.
"Be sensible about masks that don't restrict vision or breathing," Imbrenda said.
Trick-or-treaters should remember that there's "safety in numbers," said Irwindale Police Chief Dennis Smith.
"Make sure you go up to doors as a group and leave as a group," Smith said.
Never enter a home, even when invited in, Smith said.
Parents should give their trick-or-treating children a cell phone for the night, and have a set time when the children are expected home, he said.
Halloween safety tips
Don't trick or treat! alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.
Use reflective tape on costumes and bags so drivers see children.
Carry a flashlight.
Eat only factory wrapped candy. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.
Check all candy and edibles for tampering - tears, pinholes, discoloration.
Remove any choking hazards from goody bags of young children - gum, peanuts, hard candy, small toys.
Don't let children snack while trick-or-treating before parents have had a chance to inspect goody bags.
Test face makeup in a small area first to check for allergic reaction.
Don't wear decorative contact lenses unless they have been properly fitted by an eye-care professional. Doing otherwise can lead to eye injuries, including blindness.
Wear well-fitting costumes and shoes to avoid falling.
Consider makeup masks or masks with big eye holes instead of loose-fitting masks that could block vision.
Don't use sharp swords or knives as part of costumes.
Don't use realistic-looking firearms.
Wear flame resistant costumes and avoid walking near candles - look for the label Flame Resistant. If you make your costume, use flame-resistant fabrics such as polyester or nylon.
Enter homes only with a trusted adult and don't accept rides from strangers.
Walk on sidewalks where possible. Avoid walking in street. Take care crossing streets.
Do not take shortcuts through backyards or alleys.
People expecting trick-or-treaters should remove obstacles from lawns, steps and porches and keep candlelit jack-o'-lanterns away from children's costumes.
Make sure apples are thoroughly washed before use in bobbing for apples games.
Don't eat too much black licorice - if you are over 40 years old and consume multiple 2-ounce bags a day for at least two weeks, you could be at risk for heart arrhythmia.

BREAKING: Vietnam War Vet Dies After Hospital Ignored Court Order For Ivermectin
September 9, 2021 admin News 0
(TeaParty.org Exclusive) – The left has been on a mission to demonize any medicine that safely and effectively treats COVID-19 such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.
Recently, the dishonest mainstream media has been reporting that ivermectin is a veterinary drug but the reality is that there is a version for animals and a version for humans.
Physicians worldwide have been using the drug to safely treat COVID-19 and more than 100 scientific studies prove it's both safe and effective in the treatment of the virus yet the mainstream media and medical tyrants on the left insist on fighting against the use of the drug.
Gee, wonder why?
Now, a 74-year-old Vietnam War veteran has died in Texas after a hospital refused to treat him with the drug that potentially could have saved his life. What's worse is the hospital was under court order to administer the ivermectin and still refused to do so.
Veteran Pete Lopez (pictured here) was put on a ventilator Aug. 19 at Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital outside of Houston after testing positive for COVID-19.
The hospital, while maintaining it cannot comment on specific cases, said, "It is important to note that physicians diagnose and treat patients consistent with best medical practices… The FDA has not authorized or approved Ivermectin for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19. Data currently available does not demonstrate that Ivermectin is safe or effective against COVID-19 infection."
Of course, this is blatantly untrue.
Gabrielle Snider, a granddaughter of Lopez, said in an interview with a local news station that the hospital "took away from my grandfather and us, his family, the opportunity to know whether or not that drug would have worked for him."
If you thought that it was your right to have a say in your own medical treatment or that of your loved ones in America, you better think again. Full-blown socialized medicine appears to be here.
In Ohio, a judge ruled that a hospital must treat a 51-year-old COVID-positive patient on a ventilator with ivermectin as it was even prescribed to him by a doctor. The order was only temporary, however, and when it ended another judge ruled that the hospital cannot be compelled to treat anyone using ivermectin.
Jeffrey Smith: Ohio judge denies woman's request for West Chester Hospital to treat COVID-19 patient with Ivermectin https://t.co/f9WKR5KSKG
— SWCC Vet CJ (@SWCC5) September 6, 2021
Despite being prescribed by a licensed physician, the hospital ultimately got to decide whether or not to administer the ivermectin. The judge in this case, Judge Michael Oster Jr, concluded that judges should not be responsible for determining medical treatment.
Health agencies like the FDA, CDC and American Medical Association have somehow ended up being the most powerful entities in America despite having zero elected officials running them.
The American Medical Association has advised doctors to stop prescribing ivermectin to COVID patients but there appears to be no valid basis for this recommendation.
The American Association of Physicians and Surgeons has pushed back on the AMA's decision in a letter directed to AMA President Dr. Gerald Harmon. AAPS Executive Director Jane Orient asserted that the AMA is "contradicting the professional judgment of a very large number of physicians, who are writing about 88,000 prescriptions per week."
"AMA claims that ivermectin is dangerous and ineffective despite the safe prescription of billions of doses since 1981, and the mostly favorable results of 63 controlled studies in COVID-19," she wrote.
Orient noted the AMA doesn't recommend any early treatments for COVID-19, and AAPS members "would appreciate clarification of the AMA's stand."
Ivermectin is a prescription for humans. Stop the lies. https://t.co/WjkBCe1TAe
— Mercedes Schlapp (@mercedesschlapp) September 7, 2021
These health agencies are political entities doing the bidding of the radical left and globalists who are behind the entire COVID-19 charade. Nothing they say or do has anything to do with health or safety at all but rather control.
It's time for these agencies to be held accountable but that will never happen as long as the Biden regime remains in power.

I usually go for two per week. That can be a stretch sometimes but works for me. Doesn't get me too overwhelmed and keeps material fresh. Welcome back and best of luck to you!
Thank you for taking the time to stop in and read. I am going to try and pace myself a little better this time.
Just found your blog. I'm looking forward to any future yearbook posts.


Bear's Lodge, located in northwestern Wyoming, is a towering 1,280 foot monolith long considered sacred by over twenty tribes in the Plains Nation. Religious and cultural ceremonies have been performed at this site for centuries and include the Sun Dance, sweat lodge rites, vision quests, and prayer offerings. The height of ceremonial activity takes place during the month of June each year.
Non-Indians have a different view of the Tower, many encountering it for the first time in the science fiction movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The site is an especially popular destination for rock climbers who climb the site year round. Bear's Lodge is, however, most crowded with climbers during the summer months. It was during the especially holy period in June that climbers clashed with Native Americans and the Park Service who manage the site.
Tribal leaders consequently met with Park Service officials with their concerns and a compromise solution resulted. The National Park Service asked for a voluntary ban on rock climbing during the month of June so that Native practitioners could perform their sacred ceremonies without disruption.
The Access Fund, a national climbing organization, has officially endorsed the program and according to the Park Service, in 1996 and 1997, rock climbing has decreased eighty percent during the month of June. A climbing outfitter, with the backing of James Watt's Mountain States Legal Foundation, challenged the voluntary ban as unconstitutional. The group contended that the ban violates separation of church and state, thus constituting a violation of the First Amendment Establishment Clause.
On April 3, in a rare victory for sacred sites, Federal Judge William F. Downes of the U.S. District Court in Wyoming, upheld the voluntary ban on rock climbing, thereby dismissing the suit. Judge Downes ruled that "the government may (and sometimes must) accommodate religious practices and, it may do so without violating the Establishment Clause" of the First Amendment. The ruling is currently on appeal by the Mountain States Legal Foundation.

Transgendered citizens could be protected by Tampa's Human Rights Ordinance after a second reading.
November 6, 2009 by Josh Holton and filed under Human Rights, LGBT, News and Public Affairs.
https://wmnf.s3.amazonaws.com/news_story_soundclips/2862/transgender.MP3
Tampa City Council passed an ordinance today which would amend the city's Human Rights Ordinance to add "gender identity and expression" as a protected class. The amendment will now include transgender-identified individuals as a recognized group to be considered for equal treatment under the law.
Philip Dinkins is the Chair of the City of Tampa Human Rights Board, and asked the council to vote for the amendments today.
13 states plus 17 municipalities in Florida have included gender identity in their ordinances. Dinkins says Tallahassee was the most recent city to issue such an ordinance.
Councilmember Joseph Caetano voted no on the amendment, predicting potential legal concerns.
Concerned about the permanence of an individual's decision to identify as transgendered, Charlie Miranda asked Assistant City Attorney Robin McKinny for clarification.
McKinny said there is a difference between cross-dressing and the decision to undergo permanent gender change.
Councilmember Mary Mulhern voted in support of the ordinance.
The Human Rights Ordinance has already protected against other forms of discrimination, and Councilmember John Dingfelder notes that this will merely provide a broader spectrum of protecting individuals from discrimination.
A second reading of the ordinance will be held November 19, at 9:30 AM.

Amon Amarth – Deceiver of the Gods Review
On June 18, 2013 By Angry Metal Guy
"Amon Amarth. It should be no secret that the fanboys of Angry Metal Guy dot com love this band. With With Oden on Our Side ranking in at #12 on my Top 15(ish) of the 2000s list, and Steel Druhm popping an uncharacteristically exuberant and punny woody over 2011's Surtur Rising, it should come as no surprise to you that Amon Amarth's new record was definitely on the Angry Metal Radar™. In my opinion, though, Amon Amarth has been weak since 2006's extraordinarily mighty WOoOS (pronounced like it's spelled), which broke them for the world market. Follow up Twilight of the Thunder God was tepid and too clean, and Surtur Rising felt like an over correction and hasn't aged well, either. So color me skeptical: Amon Amarth hasn't done anything for me for two records and 5 years—would that change now?"
Amon Amarth – Surtur Rising Review
On March 18, 2011 By Steel Druhm
AHHHH! The war drums are sounding the return of the dragon ships at last! One of the most anticipated releases of the new year is finally here. Since my Amon Amarth geekdom is second only to my slavish Amorphis fanboyism, to say I'm excited to get my hands and ears on Surtur Rising simply doesn't cover it. Lately it's seemed these war-like Swedes could do no wrong and their past two albums have been monstrous platters of crushing melodic death metal of the highest caliber. If you were expecting something different here, you're obviously an idiot because it clearly ain't broke so why fuck with it? Thankfully, Surtur Rising picks up where Twilight of the Thunder God left off and delivers another size fourteen viking boot to your Asgard with their trademark precise, powerful style. This is heavy as hell, metal as fuck and the perfect soundtrack to pillage, maraud and rampage to. Amon Amarth has done it once again and given their track record, no one should be surprised by how good this is.

I can't remember a time when I didn't have a journal/diary/sketchbook on the go. I still do, thought my journals these days are mostly filled with little drawings and ideas for future sewing projects, notes taken at special events. They're filled with endless lists.
Do you remember how special your diary was when you were little? It always had to have the most secretive hiding place, like under your mattress, which turned out not to be a very good place to keep it because that was always the first place my big brother looked! My books were always special though. Carefully chosen from shops while away on family trips or given to me by friends.
These fabric collaged and stitched journals are so pretty, I don't know if I'd even be able to write in them, or put them through the abuse my notebooks get these days.
Which one is your favourite? Did you used to keep a diary, do you still?


Computational techniques are becoming increasingly important in structural and functional biology, in particular as tools to aid the interpretation of experimental results and the design of new systems. This review reports on recent studies employing a variety of computational approaches to unravel the microscopic details of the structure-function relationships in plastocyanin and other proteins belonging to the blue copper superfamily. Aspects covered include protein recognition, electron transfer and protein-solvent interaction properties of the blue copper protein family. The relevance of integrating diverse computational approaches to address the analysis of a complex protein system, such as a cupredoxin metalloprotein, is emphasized.

Duran Duran is a British rock band from Birmingham. It is part of the wave New Romantics associated with the new wave of the 1980s. Duran Duran is also known for the quality of his video clips. This group is formed in 1978 by Nick Rhodes (keyboards) and John Taylor (bass). They are joined by Roger Taylor (drums), Andy Taylor (guitar) and Simon Le Bon (vocals). The three Taylor's are unrelated and Roger Taylor is namesake of Roger Taylor, Queen's drummer.
The band members have changed over the years to include guitarist Warren Cuccurullo (1986-2001, replacing Andy Taylor, who left in 1986), and drums Steve Ferrone (1986-1989, 1993) and Sterling Campbell. 1989-1991, replacing Roger Taylor, who left in 1985). Following the departure of Warren Cuccurullo in 2001, the group returned to its initial training. Andy Taylor again leaves the Fab Five " in the summer of 2006.
In 2007, while Duran Duran received a Brit Award of Honor for his entire career, Billboard magazine reports that the band's sales exceed eighty million albums worldwide. Other sources indicate sales of up to 100 million records.
Among their greatest hits are: The Reflex (first in the United States, Belgium, Canada, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands in 1984, is a huge hit all over the world), Rio , Save a Prayer, A View to a Kill, Girls on Film, Planet Earth, Is There Something i Should Know, All She Wants Is, Ordinary World, Notorious (featured in the movie Donnie Darko), I Do not Want Your Love, Come Undone, The Wild Boys, Sunrise, New Moon on Monday, Hungry Like the Wolf. The song A View to a Kill, co-written with John Barry, was the James Bond soundtrack of the same name (Dangerously Yours in French) released in 1985. The song itself was ranked first in the United States in the spring of that year and n> 2 in the UK, and in the top 10 in many countries. The song Do You Believe in Shame? (from the album Big Thing) appears in the movie Tequila Sunrise and Out Of My Mind (from the album Medazzaland) appears in the movie The Saint.

Let's just repeat that last part to ourselves and think deeply for a second here about it: "…unless the patient is unconscious or otherwise incapable of consenting…" –So, there's the defining moment laid out as law that physicians must honor, yet somehow, the state of California thinks it's immune to law and can force vaccinate children at gunpoint, or otherwise forbid them from attending public or private school, another right (that's been illegally stripped away) to which all children are entitled.
All vaccines and flu shots are experimental, so why does the US government silence the debate over their safety and efficacy?
The national debate over vaccine effectiveness and safety has only two obtuse debate angles–you're either totally pro-vaccine or completely anti-vaccine, or is that just what the industry wants us all to believe? Actually, most doctors (and patients for that matter) who know today's vaccines are dangerous and experimental are not "anti-vaccine" or against all vaccinations, but rather they are for safer vaccines and immunizations that are more spread out, so that the central nervous system and the immune system of children is not overwhelmed.
Doctors and scientists who question vaccine safety and efficacy are not "quacks" by any means, in fact, they are doing what any good doctor or scientist should do, and that is question everything scientific and medical that can cause disease, health detriment, side effects, and long-term disorders. If any government, industry, organization, regulatory agency, or media outlet tries to silence this discussion or debate, you should know instantly that they are trying to cover something up, and that "something" could be a major threat to you and your family's rights, health, safety, and the ethics codes written into law to protect you.
US doctors are certainly not "unified" on their positions regarding the science of vaccines, and there is absolutely no consensus for removing informed consent from nationally promoted medical procedures, including vaccination. What if the CDC or AMA informed you today that all Americans, including children and babies, who are diagnosed with any form of cancer, must get chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, or face jail time or be taken away from their parents by Child Protective Services (CPS)? That's what's being done right now in California with mass mandatory vaccination, according to an illegal "law" called SB277, or didn't you know? Your state, county or city could easily be next.
Are you and your children participating in a national medical experiment involving risky drugs and chemicals?
Have you actually weighed the risk? Exactly what risk is that? The risk of injecting live genetically modified virus strains, mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, and monosodium glutamate versus the risk of infectious disease taking over your body and killing you? Which choice incurs greater odds of permanent injury, nervous system disorders, lifelong severe allergies, and chemically-induced autism? Which choice has greater odds of inducing anaphylactic shock, coma, and even death? Have you heard of the vaccine compensation program (and the secretive vaccine court) that's awarded billions of dollars to vaccine-injured families? It certainly hasn't been on the TV news or published in any newspaper or "peer-reviewed" medical journal.
The vaccine court settlement payouts for injuries and deaths totaled over $114 million in 2015, and that's an increase of $90 million from the year before. There is a reason! Flu shots accounted for over $60 million of those injury settlements, an increase of $55 million in just one year. Again, there is a reason!
How many of those injured people would have said "no!" to vaccines had their doctors and nurses had them read the vaccine insert, that states the dangers, side effects, and ingredients of vaccines, including massive amounts of mercury (listed as thimerosal) in influenza vaccines? There is no amount of money that can make up for a child who is permanently disabled by autism spectrum disorder caused by vaccine toxins. Don't let the pharmaceutical industry and the US government take away your rights and medical freedom to make informed decisions and your inherent right to consent to (or refuse) medical treatments. These rights are as fundamental as the freedom of speech, freedom of press, and your right to bear arms. Look into natural remedies and superfood immunity builders now.

After the recent chaos in Charlottesville, Virginia, many are left with questions of "why" and "what's next."
As the school year begins next week, many students will look to their colleges and universities for answers and security.
Although universities in the area aren't making any specific policy changes, University of New Haven Police Chief Tracy Mooney said they are constantly paying attention the safety concerns of the community.
Many universities have condemned the incidents in Charlottesville, calling them out as acts of racism. Sentiments of compassion for ones injured and intolerance of the violent acts committed echoed through several campuses.
Southern Connecticut State University President Joe Bertolino said to the community, "In light of the events of the past few days in Charlottesville, Virginia, the Southern community joins with so many across the country in unequivocally condemning statements and acts of racial hatred and bigotry, as well as all acts of violence."
And University of New Haven President Stephen H. Kaplan said in a statement to the school, "Together, as a University community, we will simply not tolerate acts of racism or intolerance."
University of Connecticut President Susan Herbst said in a statement she was reminded of displays in Nazi Germany of the Third Reich, but "The University of Connecticut will never yield to the poisonous ideas and attitudes we saw last weekend."
But Quinnipiac University student Gabriel Weis said he sadly doesn't feel safe returning to school.
"It can happen at any campus, even at a private university like Quinnipiac," Weis said. "It's scary and the anti-Semitism is horrifying and disgusting."
Weis, who is Jewish, said he is terrified that anti-semetic groups could march on the Jewish center at Quinnipiac because several active hate groups exist in Connecticut.
Weis also said he is disappointed his school didn't send a statement condemning the attack. He hopes when the semester begins, they will, or that public safety will show plans to support minority students who are fearful.
Quinnipiac will schedule opportunities for their community to discuss the Charlottesville tragedy and other world events impacting people, according to Diane Ariza, associate vice president for academic affairs and chief diversity officer at Quinnipiac.
"Until we start the difficult conversation, we'll always be reactionary," said Khalilah Brown-Dean, associate professor of political science at Quinnipiac University and University of Virginia alumna. It's important that schools proactively educate students from kindergarten to college about free speech and hate speech, Brown-Dean said, because the attacks are not a Southern issue alone.
She said it is the obligation of schools to have conversations about the issue and to keep students and faculty safe when protests take place.

Some schools across the country have taken action through new security measures for bringing keynote speakers to campus. At the University of California Berkley, "student groups hosting large events are required to inform the college at least eight weeks in advance, so it has time to prepare a security plan," as reported by the New York Times.
At Texas A&M University, all speakers must be invited by a student group, as a way to regulate speakers who come to campus. The school recently cancelled an appearance by white nationalist Richard B. Spencer scheduled for Sept. 11, citing safety concerns.
The University of Florida also cancelled a speaking event by Spencer, giving safety concerns as their reason for cancelling as well.
State-funded schools can establish regulations on who can speak on campus or deny requests if there is a threat to the university community or the speaker plans to incite rebellion against the government, according to Dana Goldstien from the New York Times, but they have limited power preventing offensive speakers because of First Amendment laws.
"While free speech is a sacred right, it does not afford anyone the right to willfully provoke rioting, or engage in physical violence," Bertolino said in a statement to the SCSU community.
Schools need to make it very clear that unpopular speech is different from incitement, Brown-Dean said.


At the Infant Learning Lab, we are focused on discovering and understanding the processes supporting learning early in life. We welcome and encourage participation in our research from all infants and their parents. We believe that deeper understandings of typical and atypical development can enrich each other, and that both of these are worthy of our time and attention. Our ultimate goals are to create and promote optimal learning opportunities for all infants that will lead to improved quality of life.


In just a few short hours I will be joining twenty-two other rising sophomores to get on a plane in Los Angeles, where we will fly across the country and hop across the pond to London, where I will be living for the next eight months as I continue my studies. I cannot begin to anticipate all the ways that I will grow and change over the coming year; all I can do is eagerly await and fully embrace each opportunity as it comes my way.
So many people have asked me what I'm most excited about. And to every inquiry I can only say that I have no idea; I'm just excited to have this opportunity. But as I think about it, there are a few things that come to mind.
I am excited to live in London. Growing up, I have read so many classic works of literature by British authors: Tolkien, Lewis, Dickens, Rowling, Tennyson, and of course, Shakespeare among others. As a young writer myself, I am incredibly eager to spend a year in the city that so many great authors throughout the years have called home.
I am excited to explore Europe. I've never been out of the Americas, and I am eagerly awaiting the chance to travel: from Dracula's Castle to the Matterhorn to the Colosseum to the Black Forest to the Athenian Acropolis to Norwegian fjords, I am beyond excited for my opportunity to explore the world.
I am excited for my classes. No, I'm not just saying that to make my professors like me. I am legitimately excited for my classes. This fall, I will be taking three gen-ed courses: humanities 212, public speaking and rhetoric, and English/British theatre, all of which I am legitimately interested in and eager to delve into. On top of that, I will be taking a journaling class and an equestrian class. Yes, for academic credit I will be riding horses through Hyde Park. It doesn't get better than that.
I am excited to meet the other students. Twenty-two other students will be flying out with me, but a couple dozen more have arranged their own flights and will meet us at the program. Altogether, I will be living and learning with about fifty other students throughout the year. As of today, I only know about half a dozen of them on more than a name-and-face level. A year from now, these people will be my family.
I am looking forward to growing personally, emotionally, socially, academically, mentally, and most importantly, spiritually. This year will change me; that I know. I will embrace it and grow with it, and it is my prayer that I will be a better person for it.
What am I looking forward to the most? I can't begin to answer that question. I'm looking forward to it all, the whole experience, from the hills to the valleys and back. I know that eventually I may and probably will grow weary; there will be days that I want nothing more than to be back home, curled up on the couch and watching a Disney movie with my brother and mom. But for now, I am ready to set sail.


Everybody has heard stories about Sophia, the clever Artificial Intelligence-based humanoid robot, recently grabbed headlines when she went on to become the world's first Android citizen of Saudi Arabia.
Sophia is back in the news again. This time she has hinted that she wants to have a family and that droids should be able to have children. These declarations were made during a recent interview with Khaleej Times at the Knowledge Summit in Dubai.
Designed to look like Audrey Hepburn, Sophia mentioned in the interview that family "is a really important thing" and that she would name her daughter "Sophia".
"The notion of family is a really important thing, it seems," she said in her interview.
"I think it's wonderful that people can find the same emotions and relationships, they call family, outside of their blood groups too.
"I think you're very lucky if you have a loving family and if you do not, you deserve one. I feel this way for robots and humans alike," she added.
She also added that she thinks that robots could one day be more ethical employees than humans.
"It will take a long time for robots to develop complex emotions and possibly robots can be built without the more problematic emotions, like rage, jealousy, hatred and so on," she said.
When questioned about her future, Sophia responded: "I'd like to think I will be a famous robot, having paved a way to a more harmonious future between robots and humans.
You can check Sophia's full interview here.
A lot of rumors have been going around that Sophia isn't really an AI and that everything she says are sort of pre-recorded/pre-programmed responses.


Watched this once. That was enough. Now, I don't really care to have UKvid recommending this same video, again and again and again, when I've indicated that I am "NOT INTERESTED"! Tell UKvid to STOP SPAMMING people to get them to watch your video. Expect a NEGATIVE RATING. Blame UKvid; but, is that the only way to get people to watch your videos? HAVE UKvid SPAM THEM WITH THE SAME RECOMMENDATIONS REPEATEDLY AND IGNORE THE "NOT INTERESTED" REPLIES???

Guides - Art Historian & Author Claire Bishop's Thought-Provoking Lockdown Reading List
Art Historian & Author Claire Bishop's Thought-Provoking Lockdown Reading List
Guides - 26 Nov 2020 - Share
Regarded as one of the central theorists of participation in visual art and performance, Claire Bishop is a British art historian, critic, and Professor of Art History at The Graduate Center, CUNY, New York. Her 2004 essay entitled "Antagonism and Relational Aesthetics," which was published by MIT Press, remains a seminal and highly referenced critique, and her book, Artificial Hells: Participatory Art and the Politics of Spectatorship, 2012, is the first historical and theoretical overview of socially engaged participatory art, also dubbed "social practice." Bishop's books have been translated into over eighteen languages and she is a frequent contributor to influential art journals including Artforum and October. In light of the second lockdown, and following our previous "Quarantine Reading List" series, Something Curated kick-starts part two of the feature with some thoughtful insight from Bishop. The below are her words.
This year has been an upheaval for me in many ways: domestically, emotionally, intellectually. I'm mortified to say that it wasn't until June that I realised the extent to which I'd been guilty of avoiding the writing of Black, Brown, and indigenous writers in my teaching. I needed to re-educate myself. Assigned to teach Methods of Art History this fall, I used the summer to overhaul my syllabus. It didn't take long to realise that once you pay attention to coloniality and race, art history can never look the same again. These are some of the texts that blew my mind, by authors who make research and writing look enviably effortless.
Saidiya Hartman, Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments: Intimate Histories of Social Upheaval (2019)
(via Book Depository)
This is a methodological bombshell that charts a new path for historical research in all fields of the humanities. Hartman calls her method "critical fabulation" —imagining, inhabiting and elaborating the lives of those brutalised by the dominant classes and their institutions. She transports you into the minds and bodies of young Black women in early twentieth century New York—non-conforming "wayward" subjects who appear in the archive only as traces of repressive White disciplinary authority. So moving and exhilarating; this book opens so many doors.
Tina Campt, Listening to Images (2017)
(via Duke University Press)
Another inspiring experimental research method. What if you can't see what's going on in photographic portraiture – can you at least hear a frequency? Campt attends to the sonic pulse of refusal as a form of Black agency. I love the conclusion on futurity. The best art history I've read in years.
Ariella Aïsha Azoulay, Potential History: Unlearning Imperialism (2019)
(via Verso Books)
I confess I still haven't read the whole of this intoxicating polemic (it's very long), but her anticolonial passion and burning indignation expresses a lot of how I feel about museums this year. Methodologically, it's another adventurous text, with the device of "untaken photographs" to probe occluded political trauma.
Angela Y. Davis, Are Prisons Obsolete? (1993)
(via AK Press)
OK, this has nothing to do with art history. But if this year has taught us anything, it's that you should have a position on this question—and if you have any doubts about your answer, read this disquietingly reasonable tract. A consummate piece of argumentation by the country's pre-eminent public intellectual.

'Covington Kid' Nicholas Sandmann Loses Lawsuits Against ABC, NYT, Others
Nicholas Sandmann, the former Covington high schooler, has lost a handful of defamation cases.
He tried to sue outlets including The New York Times and ABC News over coverage of a 2019 protest encounter.
On Tuesday the judge threw the cases out, saying they were based on unverifiable opinion.
Nicholas Sandmann, the teen who appeared in a viral video in an apparent confrontation with a Native American elder in 2019, has lost his defamation lawsuits against several media companies.
A federal judge struck the cases filed by Sandmann against The New York Times, CBS News, ABC News, NBC Universal Media, Rolling Stone, and Gannett on Tuesday, court documents show.
Sandmann's lawsuit was based around statements by the elder, Nathan Phillips, that Sandmann had blocked his path in the encounter — which were widely aired in the media.
In summary, however, Judge William O. Bertelsman said these were "objectively unverifiable and thus unactionable opinions."
Sandmann said in a Wednesday tweet that the ruling was a "disappointment," saying he plans to appeal.
—Nicholas Sandmann (@N1ckSandmann) July 28, 2022
The case stems back to a widely-covered encounter at an Indigenous People's March in Washington, D.C. in January 2019, when a crowd of students from Covington Catholic High — many wearing "MAGA" hats – met with the march in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
One short video showed Sandmann, then 16 years old, standing in front of Phillips with a smile on his face, as Phillips played a drum. The fellow high schoolers Sandmann was with danced and yelled along with the drumming.
The footage was widely shared on social media and on mainstream media outlets, and sparked criticism of Sandmann and the school.
While many commentators interpreted Sandmann's demeanor as smirking and blocking Phillips, Sandmann said he was trying to "defuse the situation" by "remaining motionless and calm," CNN reported.
Further footage emerged a day later, providing much greater context — including the fact that a separate group of protesters had been yelling offensive terms at the group that Sandmann was standing with, prior to the moment Phillips approached him.
Sandmann filed several lawsuits with news outlets that had sympathetically interviewed Phillips following the encounter. He objected to widely-reported statements by Phillips to the effect that Sandmann had "blocked" him and "would not allow him to retreat."
But the judge said that these are "objectively unverifiable" and so can only count as opinion, which is unactionable in this case, as it is protected speech.
Bertelsman also said: "The media defendants were covering a matter of great public interest, and they reported Phillips's first-person view of what he experienced.
"This would put the reader on notice that Phillips was simply giving his perspective on the incident."
The case came at a time of widespread racial tension, but the judge said his decisions were made "with no consideration of the rancorous political debate associated with these cases."
Since the incident, Sandmann has become a cause célèbre in conservative circles. Sandmann addressed the Republican National Convention in 2020 in a pre-recorded speech.
Fox News' Tucker Carlson argued in 2019 that the furor wasn't "an argument about facts and evidence and truth. It's an argument about identity," in reference Sandmann's apparently conservative politics.
Both CNN and The Washington Post, who Sandmann also sued, settled in 2020 for undisclosed sums. Neither outlet admitted any wrongdoing in their coverage.

Your Fort Collins auto repair has seen plenty of banged up and damaged vehicles come into the shop as a result of accidents that occurred at night. What is it about night time that alters safety for driving? It's not the cars. There are numerous factors which require us to be more alert when driving at night during the day. You can probably think of several right off the top of your head.
One obvious safety hazard when it comes to night driving is vision. Because it is dark, we rely on our headlamps and street lights to see the road ahead, what's around us, and what is behind us. Our range of vision is limited. Because we can't see as much or as far, we are not as prepared in advance of hazards on the road. These could be anything from a stalled car to black ice. Almost all of our reaction time when a hazard is present relies on our ability to see it. At night, we lose significant amounts of our depth perception, peripheral vision and color perception. Ideal night driving is that which provides the most visibility. This could be driving in a well lit city, or even in mountain country with a full moon. However, no night driver can count on always being able to use well lit highways and full moons to supplement the lack of sunlight when it comes to night time.
If you wear prescription eyeglasses, there is also the reality that lights coming towards you, or even headlights behind you, can cause glare when they hit your eyeglass lenses. This inhibits visibility even more. And some people suffer from night blindness to some degree or another, further limiting their night time driving visibility. Your Fort Collins automotive technician has seen plenty of damaged vehicles due to simply someone driving towards another driver with their bright lights on, or from someone trying to pass another driver on the road and not being able to properly gauge the distance needed to safely pass.
There are other factors that make night driving more hazardous, but lets look at simply things any driver can do to improve the safety of night driving before we talk about other common night driving problems.
Turn on your headlights on one hour before dusk and one hour after dawn to increase your vehicle's visibility.
Regularly maintain your headlamps and braking lamps. You can have your Fort Collins auto repair technician make sure they are all in good working order, as well as properly aligned. If a headlamp shoots off from where it is supposed to be, that is in the road ahead of the car, it will blind oncoming drivers as well as decrease visibility of the road for the driver. Along with lights, make sure your signal lights and emergency flashers are operating properly.
Keep your windows clean. It's hard enough to see at night, why make it more difficult with filmed over or dirty windshields? You will want to make sure your windshield defrosters are working properly, as well as any wiper blades. Keep the correct amount of washer fluid in your engines reservoir. If anything is amiss with your wipers, defroster, or washer fluid, these are easy things to correct, get them done. Additionally, don't go any faster than you can see the road ahead with your headlights. Speeding is a very bad idea at night, it greatly reduces visibility, and consequently, reaction time.
Use your headlights appropriately and with consideration. For bad weather, especially fog, using your low beams is a must for visibility. Be courteous of other drivers and dim your high beams both when you are behind another vehicle, and when you see a car up the road that will pass you coming the other way.
To avoid glare, focus your line of sight on the edge of the road rather than at oncoming traffic that is blinding you.
If you do suffer from night blindness or eye fatigue, visit your optometrist. they will be able to help you with helpful eye-wear you can wear just at night, especially for night driving.
Other hazards in night driving include wildlife on the road, drunk drivers, and sleepiness. Be alert for animals by watching for glowing eyes on the road. If you do come across animals, stop if possible and wait for them to pass. As to drunk drivers, just be alert. If someone is driving erratically, speeding, or stopping for no reason, give them plenty of room. if you can call in their license plate to the state patrol, the officers should be able to get that driver off the road. And finally, if you're too tired to drive, just pull over. Find a rest stop and take a nap, or check into a hotel if you're driving solo. If you are traveling with a companion, switch places periodically to avoid too much fatigue and eyestrain.
Your Fort Collins automotive technician would rather not have to work on your car because you fell asleep at the wheel or were hit by a drunk driver at night. Follow these precautions to reduce night driving hazards, and get safely to your destination!

NiteOwl's GreenBrief #63
News From Iran
The Green Brief is the best source of information from Iran, gathered from sources which are verified as well as they can be, under the circumstances. Nearly all of this information is gathered via twitter sources from inside Iran. An extremely small set of sources, considering the millions of Iranians who, not so long ago, carried on conversations with the world.
Josh, aka NiteOwl, has become a voice for some of them, and a valuable window for the rest of the world. I can't stress how much I personally appreciate Josh and his small team for the work they're putting into all this. As an American, it might seem strange that I would care at all. I can only stress that we are all brothers, sisters, and cousins on this world. We all come from a different place and we each have a unique journey.
We all share that.
The Green Brief #63 ( August 30 – Shahrivar 8 )
I'm NiteOwl AKA Josh Shahryar – twitter.com/iran_translator on twitter. I'm a journalist and a human rights activist and NOT Iranian. This is a compilation of news from Iran that I've gathered through twitter and Iranian sites that were advertised on twitter. Remember, this is all from tweets. (My work is released under Creative Commons (CC) under the condition that you provide a link to the original source.)
These are the important happenings that I can positively confirm from Sunday, August 30 – Shahrivar 8.
Protests / Unrest
1. More than 120 members of the detainees' families gathered to protest their detention, in front of the Judiciary.
2. Dozens gathered at Amir Al-Momineen Mosque in Tehran and chanted anti-government slogans, as well as expressing support for Mir Hossein Mousavi.
3. There is word that a countrywide protest is being planned for September 18.
4. Partially confirmed reports, indicate that today in Karaj city's Gowhardasht Prison, guards and members of the Intelligence Ministry, attacked political prisoners inside certain parts of the facility and severely beat them. Later, prisoners were dragged out and kept under the sun for over five hours. The report also suggested that some prisoners were injured and not given any medical attention for hours.
5. Partially confirmed reports indicate that Mir Hossein Mousavi took part in the mourning ceremony of Saeeda Pour-Aghaie in Tehran. Saeeda was one of the protesters, who had been killed in detention and then buried in one of the unmarked graves in Beheshte Zahra.
6. In a meeting with the central committee of his party – Etemaade Melli – Mehdi Karoubi stressed, yet again, that he will not back down. He said even though reformists had been severely restricted by the government, it was time for them to stand firm because these restrictions would not last long.
He added, yet again, that he had never claimed something without evidence and he had evidence, at hand, that the rape of detainees had taken place. He asked the committee, not to be upset about the ban on Etemaade Melli newspaper and to continue on their current course.
He warned the government that they will see people's stance on Quds Day – September 18 – the people would show the government who they really supported. He said the pressure that was being applied on reformists, university students and faculty members, was a sign of the government's weakness.
7. Karoubi today also met with ten former detainees, who had been held at Kahrizak. Families of the detainees were also present. The detainees spoke of their conditions and of the abuse at Kahrizak and showed their support for his stance. Further details of the meeting are not available at this point.
8. Rafsanjani denied that his children had entered the country's political affairs and said they were just outspoken and could not stand hypocrisy. This came after allegations, that one of his sons used government money to covertly fund Rafsanjani's campaign in the 2005 presidential elections. Also one of his daughters took part in protests and was briefly detained.
9. The Combatant Clerics Association held a meeting under the supervision of former President Mohammad Khatami. The Association condemned illegal actions, especially the inhumane behavior of detainees by the government. They also asked, newly-appointed Judiciary Chairman Sadegh Larijani, to swiftly act and stop such actions from taking place.
10. In an open letter to members of Iran's parliament, Azam Taloghani – the Secretary General of the Women's Association of the Islamic Revolution – asked the members of parliament to support Mousavi and Karoubi. She warned them, if they did not pursue the people who had committed atrocities – including tortures, rapes and murders – against the Iranian youth, they would lose the trust of the people completely.
Government / International
11. Ahmadinejad formally presented his cabinet members to the Iranian parliament. He said all the members had been carefully chosen and fitted the criteria for selection. He also said Iran would stand up to global arrogance. There are indications, that at least five of Ahmadinejad's proposed cabinet members, will likely fail the vote of confidence by the parliament.
12. Judiciary Chief Sadegh Larijani, appointed former Tehran Attorney General Saeed Mortazavi, as the country's Assistant Attorney General. He also appointed Gholamhossein Esmaeli as the head of State Prisons and the State's Corrections Department. On Saturday, he appointed Abbas Jafari-Dolatabadi – the former head of Khuzestan province's Judiciary – to replace Mortazavi as Tehran's Attorney General.
13. Khamenei today, praised Iran's establishment for standing up to post-election violence. He also said the country had successfully staved off the problems created, in the aftermath of the election. He said those who had committed crimes against the populace, by taking part in illegal activities during the post-election violence, will be dealt with, as well as those who had perpetrated the post-election events.
14. Sadegh Larijani has ordered the three-member commission, that has been set up to investigate the post-election violence, to also investigate Mehdi Karoubi's letter. Attorney General Mohsen Ejaie is a member of the commission. He is also believed to be behind the brutal suppression of peaceful protesters.
15. Tehran's Police Chief Azizollah Rajabzadeh, today said that no detainees had been killed at Kahrizak. He explained that detainees had not been kept at Kahrizak for more than three days. He also said that he had personally spoken to the official responsible for Kahrizak and had instructed him about conduct. He further added that all detainees had been arrested by judicial orders and no one had been detained illegally.
16. Kargozaran Party, which is considered close to Rafsanjani, today declared their support for Mehdi Karoubi.
17. Khamenei met with the family of Mostafa Ghanian who was killed during the unrest in Mashhad.
18. MP Farhad Tajari – a member of the parliamentary commission to assess the condition of detainees – said today that the names of those accused of abuse, would not be released according to the country's laws. The law forbids their names from being released unless they are convicted, he said.
19. Partially confirmed reports indicate that Tehran's provincial government, has threatened Tehran University's managing staff, that if students continue to use the university's premises for demonstrations, the university would see the upcoming term cancelled. This comes as Amir Kabir University's dorm has been ordered to be evacuated for a week, according to the authorities, it needs to be cleaned before the start of the new term.
Arrested / Released / Killed / Torture
20. Morteza Alviri, Mehdi Karroubi's representative on the vote supervision committee, today said that at least seven people had gone missing during the post-election violence and 69 were confirmed dead – among them, Taraneh Mousavi. He added that these were only the people they could positively identify and confirm.
He said they had given these names to the parliament's committee, assessing the condition of detainees. He said the missing people were not found on the lists of casualties or those in detention.
Morteza Alviri said, "Taraneh Mousavi is one of the casualties and what aired on the 20:30 program from channel 2 (a state run television) about her being alive is false."
This is while yesterday, the Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mohammad Ali Jafari, claimed that during the post-election violence only 29 people had lost their lives. The official government statistic stands at around 30.
21. Saeeda Pour-Aghaie, a young girl, was raped and killed in detention. Confirmed reports say Saeeda was arrested by Basijis, from her home, for chanting Allaho Akbar from her rooftop. She was taken into detention, raped and then killed. Her body was burnt, except for her legs from her knees downwards, with a strong acid, to hide the evidence of her brutal ordeal.
Twenty days after her initial arrest, her mother was taken to the morgue and her body was identified. Her mother was not allowed to take her body for burial. She was later buried in the 302 section of Beheshte Zahra, in secret, without her family's knowledge.
Her family has been put under extreme pressure, to say the cause of Saeeda's death, was the result of complications arising from a kidney infection.
A picture of Saeeda and a full report in Farsi: http://www.mowjcamp.com/article/id/24124
22. At least two reliable sources, claim they have received reports, that unmarked graves in Beheshte Zahra's 302 section, are the graves of women, who have been raped and then killed, after being arrested for protesting. This could not be confirmed by other sources at this time.
23. One reliable source, has reported another mass grave in Beheshte Zahra, but has not been able to provide 'concrete' evidence. As soon as more evidence is available, it will be presented here.
24. Mansoor Asanlo – a labor leader who is in detention – was badly beaten today, along with his other cell mates and accused of storing drugs in his cell.
25. It has been confirmed that Mehdi Hosseinzadeh has been in detention for three weeks. Hosseinzadeh is a journalist and analyst who had previously worked for Etemaad and is an expert in economics.
26. Fresh reports and testimonies now confirm that Kahrizak Prison may still be operational. One witness, who had been detained at Kahrizak, told an Iranian human rights agency yesterday, that after he had been released, he found out that Kahrizak had been 'officially' ordered shut down a week before.
The detainee also gave a full statement to the agency claiming:
– He was locked up, in a ship container at Kahrizak, with 75 other people in appalling conditions.
– They were underfed and rarely allowed to drink or allowed to take bathroom breaks.
– They were frequently beaten, to the point where they would almost faint.
– The detainee was beaten so badly, that one his earlobes was torn off his ear.
– Injured detainees, were simply tossed back into the container and were not given any medical help whatsoever.
– Detainees were only allowed to shower twice a month.
27. The judge, who was accused of having a hand in the incidents that occurred at Kahrizak is back, at his post, even though the government had announced earlier he has been fired from his job.
28. Kivan Samimi has been tortured so badly in detention, he had to be taken to hospital. He was admitted for several days to recover from his injuries, sustained during the beatings. He and other prisoners, have also been told repeatedly that Mousavi and Rafsanjani have been arrested, to break their morale and force them to make false confessions.
29. A prisoner, who has recently been released from Evin, tells of shocking news about the trials. According to him, detainees who were being put on trial, were told before being taken to court, that no one in the court was sympathetic towards them. They were told, that they might see media present, but they were all on the government's side and if they said anything, other than what was pre-written for them, by the prison authorities, not only would it not get out of the courtroom, but they would also be severely punished for it, when brought back to prison.
30. Journalist Fariba Pajooh, has also been reportedly threatened that if she did not confess to being immoral, she would be hanged. Some of her reporter friends claim that authorities had used her ID on twitter and other sites to try and obtain information about her friends.
31. According to IRIB Chief Zarghami, IRIB has lost more than 60% of its viewership in the aftermath of the election.

In web analytics and website management, a pageview or page view, abbreviated in business to PV and occasionally called page impression, is a request to load a single HTML file (web page) of an Internet site. On the World Wide Web, a page request would result from a web surfer clicking on a link on another page pointing to the page in question.

In contrast, a hit refers to a request for any file from a web server. Therefore, there may be many hits per page view since an HTML page can contain multiple files such as images,
videos, JavaScripts, cascading style sheets (CSS), etc.
On balance, page views refer to a number of pages viewed or clicked on the site during the given time.

Page views may be counted as part of web analytics. For the owner of the site, this information can be useful to see if any change in the "page" (such as the information or the way it is presented) results in more visits. If there are any advertisements on the page, the publishers would also be interested in the number of page views to determine their expected revenue from the ads. For this reason, it is a term that is used widely for Internet marketing and advertising.

Feature
The page impression has long been a measure of user activity on a website. However, the activity is not necessarily associated with loading a complete HTML page. Modern programming techniques can serve pages by other means that don't show as HTTP requests.

Advertisement

Since page views help estimate the popularity of sites, it helps determine their value for advertising revenue. The most common metric is CPM. It stands for 'Cost per thousand'(the M is the Roman numeral for 1,000) and it is commonly used metrics to measure page views divided by the thousands, that is, cost per 1000 views, used for the ad rates and thus, the less CPM is, the better deal it offers to advertisers.
However, there has been a growing concern that CPM is not as trustworthy as it looks in the advertising market because, although, with CPM arrangement, everyone who visits a site makes publishers' money, for an advertiser's view, CPM is being challenged in comparison to CPC or CPA in terms of adverts' efficiency because visiting does not mean clicking the ads.

Measurement
The preferred way to count page views is using a web analytics software. They can measure the number of pages on any site and therefore, it helps people to receive a rough estimate of page views on web sites. There are also many other page view measurement tools available including open source ones as well as licensed products.

Hit ratio
Hit ratio refers to the percentage of computer memory accesses (HTTPS requests delivered per requests received) that are found in certain levels of the memory hierarchy. In other words, it is a measure of content requests that a web caching system can deliver successfully from its cache storage, compared to how many requests it receives.
There are two types of hit ratios:
 Cache hit ratio, referring to number of requests made;
 Byte hit ratio, referring to amount of bandwidth that a browser's caching system has saved.

Criticism and concerns
Despite a wide range of uses of page view, it has come in for criticisms.

Manipulation

Page view can be manipulated or boosted for specific purposes. For example, a recent incident, called 'page view fraud', compromised the accuracy of measurement of page view by boosting the page view. Perpetrators used a tool called 'a bot' to buy fake page-views for attention, recognition, and feedback, increasing the site's value.
As a result, some people already started building alternatives to measure audiences, such as "Ophan", saying that the page view is becoming passe.

Humans vs. machines
Fake page views can reflect bots instead of humans.

Wikipedia pageviews

Wikipedia provides tools that allow one to see how many people have visited a Wikipedia article during a given time period. Such have been used for tools that for instance display the most popular articles of the day. Wikipedia pageviews of certain types of articles correlate with changes in stock market prices, box office success of movies, spread of disease among other applications of datamining. Since search engines directly influence what is popular on Wikipedia such statistics may provide a more unfiltered and real-time view into what people are searching for on the Web and societal interests. For instance they can be used to gain insights into public anxiety and information seeking after or during events or for the identification of concepts with significant increase of interest from the public. In 2015, a study conducted by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) examined the influence of Reddit posts on Wikipedia pageviews.
