EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Now it's Ohio State's turn to lobby for a berth in the college football playoff — a thought that seemed pretty far-fetched when the Buckeyes lost their quarterback and struggled through the first couple weeks of the season.
With J.T. Barrett performing brilliantly in place of an injured Braxton Miller, there's no longer any doubt who the Big Ten's top contender is in the national title race.
Barrett threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more in a sensational performance, and No. 14 Ohio State scored almost at will against Michigan State's vaunted defense, beating the eighth-ranked Spartans 49-37 on Saturday night.
With one overwhelming offensive display, the Buckeyes re-established themselves as the Big Ten's dominant team under coach Urban Meyer, avenged their loss to Michigan State in last year's conference title game, and boosted their case for a berth in the sport's new four-team playoff.
Ohio State (8-1, 5-0) came into the game ranked No. 14 by the playoff committee. The Spartans (7-2, 4-1) were No. 8 and looked like the conference's best hope to reach the playoff, but now they'll almost surely drop out of consideration.
Barrett became the starting quarterback for the Buckeyes before the season because Miller needed shoulder surgery, and Ohio State lost at home to Virginia Tech in early September. The Buckeyes have won seven straight since, and Meyer was asked after Saturday's victory if he believes Ohio State is a playoff team.
Barrett went 16-of-26 for 300 yards against the Spartans. Ohio State's first drive of the game ended in a missed field goal, and another early possession fell apart because of penalties. Aside from that, the Buckeyes scored a touchdown every time they had the ball until they punted in the final minute of the game.
Ohio State rolled up 568 yards of offense against a Michigan State defense that was one of the nation's best a year ago and had been plenty good this season as well.
It was by any measure one of the biggest home games in Michigan State history, but Barrett and the Buckeyes turned it into a scarlet-and-gray party, overcoming a pair of first-half turnovers on special teams and taking a 28-21 lead into halftime.
When the Spartans had to settle for a field goal to start the third quarter, that was the opening Ohio State needed. Michigan State simply couldn't stop the Buckeyes from scoring touchdowns, and now Ohio State is in control atop the Big Ten's East Division.
Ohio State is 21-0 in Big Ten regular-season games under Meyer. Last year's loss to Michigan State in the league title game was a blemish, but the Buckeyes certainly did what they could to make up for that, handing the Spartans their first loss to a conference opponent since 2012.
Michigan State led 21-14 when Ohio State's Dontre Wilson fumbled a kickoff, giving the Spartans a chance to extend their lead in the second quarter. But a holding penalty wiped out a Michigan State touchdown, and the Spartans eventually missed a field goal.
On Ohio State's next offensive play, Barrett found Michael Thomas for a 79-yard catch-and-run touchdown that tied it at 21. Then Barrett threw a 44-yard TD pass to Devin Smith to put the Buckeyes ahead with 56 seconds left in the half.
After a Michigan State field goal to start the third quarter, Ohio State marched 67 yards in 13 plays, and Elliott's 1-yard touchdown run made it 35-24. Barrett found Wilson for a 7-yard TD early in the fourth to give the Buckeyes an 18-point lead.
Jeremy Langford ran for 137 yards and three touchdowns for Michigan State, and Connor Cook threw for 358 yards and two TDs. The Spartans gained 536 yards and did not have a turnover but still couldn't keep up.

Q: Practical solution to fix a Grammar Problem We have little snippets of vb6 code (the only use a subset of features) that gets wirtten by non-programmers. These are called rules. For the people writing these they are hard to debug so somebody wrote a kind of add hoc parser to be able to evaluete the subexpressions and thereby show better where the problem is.
This addhoc parser is very bad and does not really work woll. So Im trying to write a real parser (because im writting it by hand (no parser generator I could understand with vb6 backends) I want to go with recursive decent parser). I had to reverse-engineer the grammer because I could find anything. (Eventully I found something http://www.notebar.com/GoldParserEngine.html but its LALR and its way bigger then i need)
Here is the grammer for the subset of VB.
<Rule>                 ::=  expr rule | e
<Expr>                 ::= ( expr )
                           | Not_List CompareExpr <and_or> expr
                           | Not_List CompareExpr

<and_or>                   ::= Or | And

<Not_List>             ::= Not Not_List | e

<CompareExpr>          ::= ConcatExpr comp CompareExpr
                           |ConcatExpr

<ConcatExpr>           ::= term  term_tail & ConcatExpr
                           |term term_tail

<term>                 ::= factor factor_tail
<term_tail>            ::= add_op term term_tail | e

<factor>               ::= add_op Value | Value
<factor_tail>          ::= multi_op  factor factor_tail | e

<Value>                ::= ConstExpr | function | expr

<ConstExpr>            ::= <bool> | number | string | Nothing
<bool>                 ::= True | False
<Nothing>              ::= Nothing | Null | Empty

<function>             ::= id | id ( ) | id ( arg_list )
<arg_list>             ::= expr , arg_list | expr

<add_op>               ::= + | -
<multi_op>             ::= * | /
<comp>                 ::= > | < | <= | => |  =< | >= |  = | <>

All in all it works pretty good here are some simple examples:
my_function(1, 2 , 3)

looks like
(Programm
 (rule
  (expr
   (Not_List)
   (CompareExpr
    (ConcatExpr
     (term
      (factor
       (value
        (function
         my_function
         (arg_list
          (expr
           (Not_List)
           (CompareExpr
            (ConcatExpr (term (factor (value 1))) (term_tail))))
          (arg_list
           (expr
            (Not_List)
            (CompareExpr
             (ConcatExpr (term (factor (value 2))) (term_tail))))
           (arg_list
            (expr
             (Not_List)
             (CompareExpr
              (ConcatExpr (term (factor (value 3))) (term_tail))))
            (arg_list))))))))
     (term_tail))))
  (rule)))

Now whats my problem?
if you have code that looks like this (( true OR false ) AND true) I have a infinit recursion but the real problem is that in the  (true OR false) AND true (after the first ( expr ) ) is understood as only (true or false).
Here is the Parstree:

So how to solve this. Should I change the grammer somehow or use some implmentation hack?
Something hard exmplale in case you need it.
(( f1 OR f1 ) AND (( f3="ALL" OR f4="test" OR f5="ALL" OR f6="make" OR f9(1, 2) ) AND ( f7>1 OR f8>1 )) OR f8 <> "")

A: You have several issues that I see.
You are treating OR and AND as equal precedence operators. You should have separate rules for OR, and for AND. Otherwise you will the wrong precedence (therefore evaluation) for the expression A OR B AND C.
So as a first step, I'd revise your rules as follows:
<Expr>  ::= ( expr )
            | Not_List AndExpr Or  Expr
            | Not_List AndExpr

<AndExpr>  ::=
            | CompareExpr And  AndExpr
            | Not_List CompareExpr

Next problem is that you have ( expr ) at the top level of your list.  What if I write:
 A AND (B OR C)

To fix this, change these two rules:
<Expr>  ::= Not_List AndExpr Or Expr
            | Not_List AndExpr

<Value> ::= ConstExpr | function | ( expr )

I think your implementation of Not is not appropriate.  Not is an operator,
just with one operand, so its "tree" should have a Not node and a child which
is the expression be Notted. What you have a list of Nots with no operands.
Try this instead:
<Expr>  ::= AndExpr Or Expr
            | AndExpr

<Value> ::= ConstExpr | function | ( expr ) | Not Value

I haven't looked, but I think VB6 expressions have other messy things in them.
If you notice, the style of Expr and AndExpr I have written use right recursion to avoid left recursion.  You should change your Concat, Sum, and Factor rules to follow a similar style; what you have is pretty complicated and hard to follow.

A: If they are just creating snippets then perhaps VB5 is "good enough" for creating them.  And if VB5 is good enough, the free VB5 Control Creation Edition might be worth tracking down for them to use:
http://www.thevbzone.com/vbcce.htm
You could have them start from a "test harness" project they add snippets to, and they can even test them out.
With a little orientation this will probably prove much more practical than hand crafting a syntax analyzer, and a lot more useful since they can test for more than correct syntax.
Where VB5 is lacking you might include a static module in the "test harness" that provides a rough and ready equivalent of Split(), Replace(), etc:

Grand jury issues subpoenas in Bolton book investigation related to handling of classified information
By Spencer S. Hsu
Devlin Barrett
Tom Hamburger
Then-national security adviser John Bolton outside the White House last year. He has rejected any claim of wrongdoing in the politically charged case. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post)
A Justice Department investigation into whether former Trump national security adviser John Bolton criminally mishandled classified information in a White House memoir published this June has reached a federal grand jury, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Fast, informative and written just for locals. Get The 7 DMV newsletter in your inbox every weekday morning.ArrowRight
A grand jury issued subpoenas for records, including from Simon & Schuster, the publisher of Bolton's book, "The Room Where it Happened," the people said.
The book recounts Bolton's 17 months as President Trump's top national security official and paints a withering portrait of Trump as an "erratic" and "stunningly uninformed" leader. The Trump administration unsuccessfully sought to block the book's release in June, saying it contained classified information that wasn't properly reviewed before publication.
Bolton, a veteran diplomat and security expert, has denied the book contains classified information, cited his cooperation with a lengthy pre-publication review and added that he brought decades of experience working with secret material to the task.
In a statement, Bolton's lawyer, Charles J. Cooper, said his team was aware of reports that subpoenas had been issued.
"Ambassador Bolton emphatically rejects any claim that he acted improperly, let alone criminally, in connection with the publication of his book, and he will cooperate fully, as he has throughout, with any official inquiry into his conduct," Cooper said.
A spokesman for Simon & Schuster declined to comment.
Justice Department seeks emergency order to block publication of Bolton's book
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on June 17 slammed John Bolton for allegedly including classified information in his upcoming book. (Video: The Washington Post)
The grand jury case was opened after a federal judge rejected the Justice Department's emergency request to block the book's June 23 publication, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely discuss the matter. The New York Times first reported on the grand jury subpoenas.
The Justice Department had requested a restraining order on the book, arguing Bolton breached a contract with the government by not completing a required national security review for classified information.
In a June 20 ruling, U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth of the District of Columbia denied the Trump administration's request, citing the publisher's declaration that more than 200,000 copies had already shipped.
However, in an opinion in the government lawsuit seeking financial damages, the judge said Bolton "exposed his country to harm and himself to civil (and potentially criminal) liability" in further litigation.
Judge declines to block release of Bolton book
A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment.
Another person familiar with the case said department officials pursued the case as soon as details of the book began appearing in public, but the effort gained added momentum with Lamberth's written ruling.
Opening a grand jury case and issuing subpoenas is one of many early steps in an investigation, and leak investigations in particular can be lengthy. Most submissions to the Justice Department for leak cases are not forwarded to prosecutors for investigation, and most of such investigations do not result in charges, said one person familiar with the matter.
In Bolton's case, assessing his intentions, the government's handling of the classification review and the dispute's political aspects adds further complexity.
In pre-publication litigation, the government disclosed that national security adviser Robert C. O'Brien, whom Trump appointed to succeed Bolton, ordered an additional review of Bolton's book after a career National Security Council staffer said he had completed required edits.
Gen. Paul M. Nakasone, director of the National Security Agency, also declared in a court affidavit that a limited portion of the draft manuscript "implicates" information classified at the highest level. He said the "compromise of this information could result in the permanent loss of a valuable [signal intelligence] source and cause irreparable damage to the U.S. [signal intelligence] system." Such intelligence is derived from electronic systems used by foreign targets, such as communications systems, radars and weapons systems.
Trump says Bolton will have 'criminal problems' if his book is released
Bolton has alleged that a career White House official, Ellen Knight, effectively cleared his manuscript in April before Trump political appointees tried to stall it through the presidential election in November. Cooper argued that Trump appointees politicized the clearance process in a manner that, if allowed to stand, would keep future officials from speaking out when they leave government.
Among other disclosures, the Bolton memoir states that Trump asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to help him win reelection, asserts Trump attempted to use military aid to pressure Ukraine on political investigations, and says Trump expressed willingness to halt or obstruct criminal investigations as personal favors to authoritarian foreign leaders.
Bolton in promotional interviews called Trump incompetent and "unfit for office."
Trump has responded on Twitter saying he hoped Bolton would be investigated. Trump said Bolton "broke the law" and should be in jail and have money seized "for disseminating, for profit, highly Classified information." He also has called Bolton a "Wacko" and his memoir "a compilation of lies and made up stories, all intended to make me look bad."
In a June court hearing, Deputy Assistant Attorney General David M. Morrell acknowledged to the judge that he knew of no precedent in which high-level officials intervened in classification reviews.
O'Brien tapped another new appointee, Michael Ellis — a former aide to Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) — to conduct the additional review. Ellis, the National Security Council's senior director for intelligence, was not officially trained on his classification authority until the day after he completed the Bolton manuscript review, the government acknowledged.
However irregular the re-review, Morrell said, it was "entirely appropriate" given "an extraordinary set of facts" — a former national security adviser detailing ongoing policy matters during the same administration in which he served.
Lamberth said it appeared that Bolton failed to complete a pre-publication review and obtain written authorization that the book contained no classified information.
In a Sept. 8 interview with The Post, Attorney General William P. Barr echoed that criticism and voiced disapproval of Bolton writing about administration officials while they are still in office.

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan and wife Gauri Khan inaugurated a Mexican restaurant Sanchos, designed by the lady, on Monday. During the media interaction at the launch, the Zero star made an interesting statement about his interior decorator wife. King Khan, who was once counted as the second richest actor in the world, said that he cannot afford Gauri to design for his films!
Superstar @iamsrk cannot afford wife @gaurikhan to design for his films! #Bollywood #Entertainment #Celebrities #Celebrity #KingKhan
A post shared by IN.com (@indotcom) on Nov 13, 2018 at 3:25am PST
It was when Gauri was quizzed if she had any plans to design for films, she replied, "Right now, I am very busy. My hands are full and whenever I will have time then, 100 per cent I will do it." SRK was quick to interrupt her by saying, "We make really small films. We can't afford to get her on board for our films."
Further talking about the restaurant, the superstar said, "I just go to whichever restaurant she opens because I get free meal, so it's really good for me... I hope she keeps opening up new restaurants so that all of us can keep coming here to do parties."
Besides designing restaurants and office spaces, Gauri has also designed homes for many B-Town celebs like Ranbir Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, Karan Johar and Jacqueline Fernandez among others.

Change on dongle replacement without notice? - Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !
Change on dongle replacement without notice?
I attend Concordia University and recently asked about 20 students who own their own private copy of TVP for years about this change in policy about dongles.
I've lost my dongle, what can I do ?
It seems pretty brutal, but you must understand that your dongle is your license. Sending another dongle means sending a new free license. We have no way of differentiating unlucky people from dishonest ones.
That said, never lose your dongle !"
None of them knew about it and were all pretty confused as to why they didn't get a notification about such a significant change.
I want to know if they were correct in their assessment of not getting notified or not.
This is a standard policy for software protection dongles is it not? When did TVPaint have otherwise?
Even before purchasing the software in 2015, I knew that the policy quoted above was in place. It would defeat the purpose of the dongle, and put TVP at great risk of piracy, if they distributed them out to any owner who claimed to have lost it or reported it stolen. TVPaint's policy does also state that a broken/non-functioning dongle will be replaced for a nominal fee. Could those students have perhaps been thinking of this and thought it applied to lost or stolen dongles?
It is. I think the issue was that a couple of my friends replaced their dongle for a reduced rate (around 80$) in the past so I assumed TVPaint had changed their policy. But from what I understand this has always been their policy and the reduced cost replacement was an exception? In any case- several of the TVP owners Ive spoken to today were not aware of the policy which I am now learning is their fault for not doing more research.
I think what could be done is to include a printed notice on a slip of paper that is inside the install DVD packaging , which has the same text as the FAQ , emphasizing "Don't lose the dongle or you will have to pay for a new license" . Also , maybe put the same notification on the invoice. Because not everyone will bother to come to the TVPaint.com website to read the FAQs .
It is the case. There is a sticker written in French, English and Japanese that says "don't lose the dongle".
That's good to have that confirmed. I expected that was the case .

and beutiful towns and places in the area of tuscany. I have 9 days. I arrive to rome and wants to go to sorrento, amalfi, positano, capri, anacapri, first, then start north to the tuscany area to visit different towns and locations????, somebody recommend me.
My trip finish in milan but i am able to go a little more to the north close to the coast, before address toward milan. Can any of you please give me advisements? Thanks.
Montalcino is a very good idea and if you go, don't miss the Abbey of Sant'Antimo about 9-10 km south of it. You can spot if from the road and it's definitely worth a stop. If you time it right, you will hear monks singing Gregorian chant. Otherwise, it's just a very ancient, beautiful and peaceful place.
If you arrive from the South, then Maremma is the your first marvelous contact with Tuscany. You could drop by the hinterland and then drive along the coast, known as the Etruscan coast: maybe low temperatures won't let you have a bath (if you're lucky and will find a sunny day, you could even try!), but the landscape and the precious bays and beaches are really worth a while!
I think about two days are enough.
Drive then to Pisa - the city of the Leaning Tower - and Lucca, the one hundred churches walled town, it's a Tuscan jewel you shouldn't miss out on (two days, one night: from Pisa to Lucca it's about half an hour drive, you could find an accommodation in Lucca and visit the city the next day before moving to the next place).
Then, it's the turn of Florence. It's about an hour and half drive from Lucca and obviously is the MUST of a Tuscan tour. You can't stay less than two days in Florence (and two nights), there are so many things to see that even a week wouldn't be enough, but we know, time is really a hard master!
From Florence, you easily drive to Siena: one day visit may be enough for the old city center, then you could leave this marvelous town heading to the Chianti area, another MUST of Tuscany (some localities: Greve, Castellina in Chianti, Gaiole in Chianti, Poggibonsi, Montespertoli,...). I'd rather spent the two days left visiting all the localities of the renowned wine area, driving along its green rolling hills and enjoying wine-and-food tastings.
I would also say that an itinerary as suggested by Chiara would work out perfectly.
You can also take a look at these two itineraries that list top places to visit in a week in Tuscany, and what to see in Chianti in more detail.
If you have time as you head north, you could take the coastal roads that take you past Cinque Terre and stop there and in Portovenere to see a bit of the Italian riviera before arriving in Milan!

Halfway houses, also called sober houses are there to assist people who are having functionality issues with their every day lives. . The prison system uses it to provide housing for people who need to get off of drugs. Many prison inmates are able to live in the halfway house and yet be able to go on their doctor's appointments, attend church services, go to their jobs and go to counseling.
Those who find halfway house easily do so because they want to begin their life over again and want to make it work. There are facilities that house both male and female genders. In some cases, there are adults that serve the remainder of their prison sentences in this unsecured environment. He addict will be able to have authorized visits during the week and on weekends. This is when the person can go home to visit with family and friends.
There are some inmates that get involved with specific work programs administered by the prison system. They are the ones that are happy to find halfway house that will allow them to do so. They like the fact that they are less monitored as long as they obey the rules and guidelines that has been set for the residential housing. When in a program like this, the inmate is required to do a random drug test to make sure that they are not relapsing. They are expected to have good behavior while they are in the facility or they will be kicked out. Most halfway houses are located in places where the inmate can have access to jobs and to the general public as well as transportation.
When you find halfway house for an inmate, you have to realize that this is a place that will offer rehab treatment and services because it is no use for someone who is a drug addict to live in an environment that more drugs will be allowed. This facility is helpful in correcting these destructive behaviors in an environment that gives the individuals the opportunity to participate and have the freedom to move about. Halfway houses services people who are alcoholics, drug addicts, and inmates who want to get their lives straightened out. The living arrangement is structured to feel like a normal situation. The individuals ware able to search for jobs, go on job training and pay the bills that they have incurred. They get to meet with onsite counselors and get advice on how to cope with their new living conditions.
The legal system works with the halfway houses to make sure that the inmates get the best treatment and are following the rules that are set in place. So when you find halfway house to be working with the legal system, you will understand that the reason is because the prison system is so overcrowded and the legal system has to also find a way to give the inmates some type of resources for them to get back out in the world and function appropriately.

Feline distemper and feline leukemia are serious infections that can be fatal.
Cats that go outside are at increased risk for exposure to feline distemper and feline leukemia.
Vaccination can protect cats from disease associated with feline distemper and feline leukemia.
What Are Feline Distemper and Feline Leukemia?
Feline distemper is the common name for the feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), also called feline parvovirus. Despite the name feline distemper, this contagious disease does not affect a cat's temperament. Rather, FPV causes serious disease in infected cats and can be fatal.
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is also contagious among cats. Unlike many other viruses that enter specific cells in the body and destroy them, FeLV enters certain cells in a cat's body and changes the cells' genetic characteristics. This permits FeLV to continue reproducing within the cat each time infected cells divide. This allows FeLV to become dormant (inactive) in some cats, making disease transmission and prognosis (outlook) difficult to predict.
How Do Cats Become Infected With Feline Distemper and Feline Leukemia?
Once a cat is infected with FPV, it may shed virus in body fluids (most notably urine and feces) for a few days or up to 6 weeks. If another cat encounters an infected cat (or its body fluids) during this time, transmission is likely. However, FPV can also live in the environment, such as contaminated bedding and other items, for up to 2 years, so contact with contaminated objects can also spread the infection.
FeLV is generally transmitted when a cat comes into contact with saliva from an infected cat. Certain "social" behaviors, such as mutual grooming and sharing food or water bowls, can spread the disease. Kittens can become infected during fetal development or during the first days of life as their mothers nurse and care for them.
Unlike FPV, FeLV does not live for very long in the environment, so a cat must have contact with an infected cat for the disease to spread. However, predicting which cats can transmit the disease is complicated because some cats that are contagious don't develop signs of infection.
Some cats become suddenly ill from FPV and die within hours of showing clinical signs. For many other cats, clinical signs become progressively worse over a period of days. Kittens infected before birth or during the first few days of life can develop severe brain and nerve damage, resulting in permanent difficulty standing or walking if the kitten survives the infection.
Some cats infected with FeLV do not develop clinical signs or long-term complications associated with the virus. The immune system of some cats can eliminate the infection before the cat becomes sick. In other cats, the virus can "hide" in the bone marrow, where it is difficult to detect until it begins to cause problems later in life. Other cats become carriers of the disease or experience various illnesses before eventually dying of FeLV-associated complications.
Sophisticated testing of blood and body fluids can be used to diagnose FPV infection, but many veterinarians make the diagnosis based on clinical signs and the presence of a severely low white blood cell count. Treatment is mainly supportive and consists of administering fluids to combat dehydration, antibiotics to help treat infections, and other medications to help control vomiting and other clinical signs.
Diagnosis of FeLV infection is more complicated because there are several stages of disease and not every cat handles FeLV infection the same way. Blood tests detect the disease in many cats, but for other cats, the bone marrow must be examined to confirm infection. Some cats may test positive on blood tests when they are young kittens but test negative later if their immune system has been able to eliminate the infection. Similarly, some cats may test negative at one point and test positive later, as the virus progresses through various stages in the body. Because FeLV infection can have many clinical presentations, your veterinarian may want to test your cat if he or she seems to be ill—especially if a fever is present. Some cats need to have multiple tests done to confirm infection.
No medication can eliminate FeLV. Most treatments are aimed at managing the clinical signs and complications.
Several vaccines are available for preventing disease associated with FPV and FeLV. Most of the available FPV vaccines are combination vaccines that also protect against feline herpesvirus (rhinotracheitis) and calicivirus; some also protect against FeLV. All of the available FPV and FeLV vaccines have been tested and found to be safe and effective when administered as directed.
Kittens are generally vaccinated against FPV and FeLV around 8 to 9 weeks of age. Booster vaccinations are given 3 to 4 weeks later, followed by boosters every 1 to 3 years for FPV (depending on exposure risk) and annual boosters for FeLV (as long as the risk for exposure remains). Cats that go outdoors, live with other cats, or visit grooming or boarding facilities are at greater risk for exposure to FPV and FeLV compared with cats that stay indoors and have limited contact with other cats.
The FPV vaccination is recommended for all cats. But if risk for exposure to FeLV is low, your veterinarian may not recommend the FeLV vaccine for your cat. Ask your veterinarian about his or her recommendations for protecting your cat from FeLV.
Keeping the environment clean can help prevent the spread of FPV and FeLV. Although FPV can be killed in the environment by cleaning with a dilute bleach solution, the virus can live on surfaces for up to 2 years and is resistant to many other cleaning products and disinfectants. Be sure to wash hands and change clothes after handling an infected cat. Similarly, bowls, blankets, towels, toys, litterboxes, and other items should be cleaned with bleach (if possible) to reduce the risk of further disease spread. FeLV is killed by many disinfectants and does not live for very long in the environment, so a cat must have contact with an infected cat for the disease to spread. Keeping sick cats separated from healthy cats can reduce the likelihood of spreading FPV and FeLV.
Any new kitten or cat being introduced into the home should be examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible and separated from all other household pets for a quarantine period of at least a few weeks. During that time, the new cat should be tested for FeLV and monitored closely for any signs of illness. Any problems should be reported to your veterinarian before introducing the new cat to your other pets.
FPV and FeLV are not considered contagious to humans but are contagious to cats. If your cat is known or suspected to be infected with either of these viruses, contact your veterinarian promptly to discuss how you can protect your other pets.

Great service, great people, great product! I bought my towels in Chermside in QLD. Very little I knew how fantastic the product was when I bought it. I bought a pack of 4 as the sales person was incredibly attentive, informative and passionate. My friend purchased a different brand and you can see and feel the difference in quality. I rang Sammimis to order more and received again a great, friendly customer service. Thank you will buy over and over again from you.

On this week's episode of Reel Time I get zombie-fried.
It wasn't what I was expecting. My hands went bloodied and hung loosely out in front of the screen. Interestingly I lost all interest in 'seek and destroy'. Perhaps because this game was about killing off zombies until you became one yourself – which happened in a nanosecond to my player (dumb player).
Up until a recent visit to the local hardware, I had thought Zombie Mania was age-related. Boy was I proved wrong.
I entered the store with my son. He went his way, I went mine. 'Hey, where are you going?' I had the audacity to ask him. Meanwhile a young male shop assistant was approaching.
I stepped in his way. After all, I was a 'real' shopper. 'Hey, hang on, he was just joking,' I explained.

Arthur, le Roi des Britons: The Influence of French Literature on England's Greatest National Myth
History | Literature
The Adam Matthew collection 'Arthurian Legends and the Influence of French Prose Romance', one of fifteen collections in Research Source: Medieval and Early Modern Studies, offers an insight into how one of England's most famous nation-making myths was not only shaped, but transformed, by the literature of France.
This weekend will see the French national holiday Bastille Day, or la Fête nationale – "the National Celebration". Celebrations of nationhood, for better or worse, seem to organically lead into discussions of national identity – particularly in times where contemporary politics is fixated with borders and boundaries, what is and what is not a nation, and who belongs to it, if it even exists. In such times, the concept of a "National Identity" can be uncomfortable to some, alienating to others.
The parent of a "National Identity" is a national history. Yet one of England's most enduring, most legendary histories (for it is itself more legend than history) owes a great deal of its fame and cultural longevity to another nation. The myth of King Arthur has embedded itself into the mental and physical landscape of England, used to celebrate footballers, advertise beer and attract tourists. Whatever the use, it is almost always inherently a herald of "Englishness".
Public domain, accessed via Wikimedia Commons
The earliest mentions of Arthur appear in the Welsh chronicles of the early middle ages, describing a Saxon warrior king who in Nennius' Historia Brittanum felled nine hundred and sixty men in one charge. It is only in the twelfth century with Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae that Arthur is fashioned as the King of Britain. In the same century, the Norman poet Wace wrote his own history of Britain, the Roman de Brut, later translated from Anglo-Norman into Middle English by Layamon in the thirteenth century. Even in its very earliest conceptions, the Arthurian legend was one indebted to international collaboration.
Yet where Geoffrey's history provided the skeletal structure of Arthurian myth, the works of the French poet Chrétien de Troyes gave the body a pulse - a lifeblood which turned the story of Arthur from cold History to feeling Romance. The most fundamental elements of Arthuriana – the supernatural Excalibur, the romance of Lancelot and Guinevere, the divine quest for the grail – were all begotten from Chrétien's use of the dominant French literary form amour Courtois, or Courtly Romance.
Amors sanz crieme et sans peor
Est feus sanz flame et sanz chalor,
[Love without trepidation and fear is fire without flame and heat]
(Cligès, 3893-4)
The courtly romance genre told tales of human passions and otherworldly forces, illicit affairs and magical objects, and through it, the earlier histories were transformed. Indeed, perhaps the most integral story to the Arthurian canon, the quest for the Holy Grail, was only introduced with Chrétien's Perceval, or le Cont du Graal:
The squires were followed by a maiden
Who bore a grail, with both hands laden.
(Perceval, or the Story of the Grail, 3219-20)
The story of King Arthur that has been retold throughout generations of art, literature and popular culture is not the political history of Geoffrey and Wace, but the romance of Chrétien. Chrétien's transformation of the political histories into stories of courtly love inspired countless reinterpretations, from the tragic love and betrayal of Arthur in Tennyson's The Idylls of the King (c. 1859) to the titular parodical quest in Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975). It was the influence of another nation's literature, then, of Chrétien and the amour Cortois genre, that was the maker of England's nation-making myth.
Research Source: Medieval and Early Modern Studies includes 52 manuscripts with the works of Chrétien, Malory and other Arthurian writers, as well as fifteen other collections that house material spanning from the Black Death to the turn of the nineteenth-century.

The Transformative Nature of Vampirism: Two Centuries of Gothic Characterisation


text:
Herzliya Museum of Art,
Israel, 1986
Essay: Amnon Barzel
Between the phenomenon and its visual representation, one can find all the intermediate stages of the 20th century art styles. The nature of reality, including that which is imagined, the nature of time and place, the tangibility of things – can these be defined in a manner expressing the phenomenon beyond its morphology? Or will the shape of a thing become a symbol, or serve as an information code?
The tentative attempt to bypass the form of things as it is perceived by vision in order to represent their essence – has brought about the definition of new visual languages by the avant-garde artists of the beginning of the century, a fact which was extensively influenced by the shock of photography.
Since then, photography, alongside painting and sculpture, has wandered through various theoretical and perceptual fields, and its inclusion within combined works has assuaged the fears of the disappearance of the aura characterizing the unique creation, as defined by Walter Benjamin.
The working materials of Dorit Feldman are color photography, natural stone, ceramic sculpture and painting. The detailed processing of each of the above components in one integrated creation – come to emphasize the concrete nature of the means she uses. But the result deceives the eye. That which is real turns to be enigmatic. Facts lose their identity.
Inasmuch as the photograph concretizes the form of the object, down to its details, the whole image – symbolizing its identity – vanishes gradually.
Historical abstraction, which abolishes the conventional view for the purpose of representing its sensations and its essence – is replaced here by the intensification of the form up to the point of its disappearance. The desert stone, interwoven by veins and fossilized relics, is integrated into a ceramic sculpture touching the images of waterfalls or the transparency of glass vaults. The rigid stone, hoarding the trauma of erosion, side by side with sharp crystals, turns into sculptures of baroque undulations, and comes close to a painting of a dreaming figure, like a Jungendstil ritual. The eye endeavors to recollect forms and words endeavor to capture the name of an object, but the vision remains undeciphered.
Consequently, the abstraction is attacked not by abolition of the form, but by means of the detailing, the emphasizing of the materiality, and the multiplicity of information.
Without style precedents, Dorit Feldman endeavors to create a sensitive visual situation by a sequence of means and sources, technically and culturally distant from each other: "corrected" natural materials, side by side with the aesthetic of Bernini's sculptures, and a photographic sequence developed and printed by the artist.
Photographs which do not report, but raise associations of body curves or corals. Her "combined works" painting, illusory by its very definition, holds a paradoxical position among the elements of the work: its images are identifiable and legible while photography – which is basically informative by its essence – is enigmatic. Painted figures gaze at us from the photographed body-cults of Wilhelm von Gloeden in Taormina.
Dorit Feldman's works are combined, not only in the sense of the materiality and the means, but also in their theoretical contexts: the post-modern, irrational approach is confronted with the sophisticated sanity of the photographic technology.

Annotation: This study shows that the dominant motivation of delinquent acts committed by members of juvenile street- corner groups in lower class communities is the desire to conform to standards of value defined within that community.
Abstract: Most of the data on which this analysis is based were collected in a service-research project in the control of gang delinquency. During the service aspect of the project, which lasted for 3 years, seven trained social workers maintained contact with 21 corner group units in a slum district of a large eastern city for periods that ranged from 10 to 30 months. Over 8,000 pages of direct observational data on behavior patterns of group members and other community residents were collected. Data include workers' contact reports, participant observation reports by the author (a cultural anthropologist), and direct tape recordings of group activities and discussions. Through an analysis of the data, the author determined that lower class culture manifests certain focal concerns: getting into trouble with the police, showing toughness, manifesting street smarts (outsmarting and conning others), experiencing excitement, being lucky, and maintaining freedom from constraint by authority figures. The focal concerns of the lower class juvenile street corner group reflect some of these class values. The concerns are belonging to a group and achieving status among peers. The customary activities of the juvenile street corner group include law violations that most often involve assault and theft. The primary thesis of this paper is that the dominant component of the motivation for delinquent behavior by lower class corner groups is an effort to achieve states, conditions, or qualities that are valued within the group member's most significant cultural milieu.


I had walked several of the mountains in this area before, and on Sunday decided to visit a few in the middle that I'd missed out - Dart, Learmount Mtn S Top and Learmount Mountain. Dart is the most impressive of the three, and was my first call. I had looked down on it from Sawel in the past, and it can be reached from there, but due to my other targets for the day, I approached it from the west. It is easily accessible from the Park/Tamnagh Road between the villages of Park in the north, in Derry, and Cranagh in the south in Tyrone. There are a few lay bys near the cattle grids around the high point of the road for parking, and it is a short walk from there. The ground was also fairly firm and easy to walk on. The top is marked by a cairn, and signs on the nearby fence marking the Tyrone and Derry border. The views were excellent in all directions on the clear bright day I visited, and Dart itself was rockier and a bit more rugged and craggy than most in the range.

Samsung Galaxy S5 5.25-inch QHD screen enters production
Luke Johnson, December 25, 2013 10:30 am GMT
With the Samsung Galaxy S5 release date now mooted to be just a matter of weeks away, latest reports have suggested the phone's 5.25-inch QHD screen has already entered production.
A step up in both size and quality over the 5-inch Full HD display on the Samsung Galaxy S4, the reported Samsung Galaxy S5 panel is said by Korean media to have entered production as the manufacturer readies itself for a Q1 flagship phone unveiling.
While the S4 boasted a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, now the standard for high-end flagship phones, the Samsung Galaxy S5 will reportedly host a QHD panel with a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution, This screen is said to offer a 560 pixels-per-inch image density, a move that would make it a leader of the smartphone scene.
Contrary to recent reports that the Samsung Galaxy S5 would see the Korean manufacturer move to cheaper LCD panels, the 5.25-inch QHD offering is said to be an AMOLED offering.
What's more, claims that the Samsung Galaxy S5's 5.25-inch QHD panel has entered production reaffirms reports earlier this weeks that the S5 will not play host to a curved display like the recent Samsung Galaxy Round offering.
One of many Samsung Galaxy S5 rumours to do the rounds in recent weeks, the S5's specs sheet will reportedly pair the high-end display with a new 64-bit processor, 3GB of RAM and a 16-megapixel rear-mounted camera.
Elsewhere, the S5 has been tipped to run Google's latest Android 4.4 KitKat OS alongside an all new metal form factor that will see the handset better compete with the market leading iPhone 5S.

While not exactly a comedy, 50/50 tackles a distressing subject with a healthy dose of humour, thanks to a sharply observed script, well-rounded, likeable characters, astute direction and a trio of terrific performances from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen and Anna Kendrick.
Directed by Jonathan Levine and written by Will Reiser (who based the script on his own experiences), 50/50 stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Adam, a 27 year old radio journalist who's shocked to discover that he has a rare form of back cancer that has a 50/50 survival rate. As he struggles to come to terms with both the illness and his imminent series of treatments, he receives varying degrees of support from his artist girlfriend (Bryce Dallas Howard), his neurotic mother (Anjelica Huston), his best friend Kyle (Seth Rogen) and a pretty, inexperienced therapist (Anna Kendrick as Katie).
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is excellent as Adam, an easy-going, non-confrontational person who reacts to the devastating news by attempting to keep a lid on his emotions. Similarly, Seth Rogen is hilarious as Kyle, his outspoken best friend who helps out with medicinal marijuana and isn't above using Adam's cancer to pick up girls (but who clearly cares deeply for Adam), while Anna Kendrick is wonderful as Katie. There's also strong support from both Bryce Dallas Howard and a slightly under-used Anjelica Huston, as well as engaging turns from Philip Baker Hall and Matt Frewer as a pair of elderly cancer patients who become Adam's new friends.
There's a strong ring of truth to Reiser's excellent script and the characters are extremely well rounded and believable, to the point where the humour feels natural and organic instead of a parade of scripted wisecracks. As a result, the various relationships and interactions are extremely moving and the decision to under-play the expected big emotional scenes pays off in a number of interesting ways, while the film also makes some effective points about how we treat people who are ill, without ever becoming preachy or sentimental.
Levine's control of the material is assured throughout, striking a tricky balance between humour and powerful emotion and getting it exactly right. He also orchestrates several wonderful scenes, such as Katie giving Adam a lift home and struggling with inappropriate conversation (actually, every scene with Kendrick is delightful); Kyle confronting Rachael after he sees her at a gallery or Kyle allowing Adam to drive for the first time.
Astutely directed and superbly written, 50/50 is a warm hearted, frequently funny drama that takes a refreshing approach to a serious subject and features terrific performances from a superb cast. Highly recommended.


Immersive Italian podcasts created by an international team of journalists and linguists.
News in Slow Italian features native speakers discussing current events and culture. News stories you care about at a pace you can understand.
Listen, read, and start thinking in Italian anywhere you go – at home, in the classroom, and on any of your devices.
Thanks for your excellent service. I appreciate the functionality of NISI very much, also the app works great and is kept quite slick and intuitive, which I always prefer regarding apps.
The voices are pleasant to hear and I like the way you choose the variety in news topics! The short discussion parts bring some other language in, more "daily speak" which I also need as a starter.
Keep up the good work - I'm really learning Italian this way!

How To Get A Dozen Krispy Kreme Donuts For Less Than A Dollar This Month
By Megan Shepherd
Joe Raedle/Getty Images News/Getty Images
In the early 2000s, Krispy Kreme coming to town was a B. F. D. Lines wrapped around the building, everyone enthusiastically donned festive paper hats, and free glazed doughnuts flowed. The concept of a doughnut shop with such a mechanical, regimented process was totally novel back then — but Krispy Kreme's pastry expertise is nothing new. The shop's been dishing up a perfect formula of hot, pillowy doughnuts for close to a century, and to celebrate its upcoming 80th birthday, Krispy Kreme is sending customers out with a pretty sweet party favor — free doughnuts. But unlike the skimpy gift bags standard at most birthday parties, Krispy's doing it up big this year with a free dozen for everyone. Wanna celebrate? Here's how to get a dozen Krispy Kremes doughnuts for less than a dollar.
Krispy Kreme revolutionized the mass production of doughnuts before waiting in line for a doughnut was even a thing. The chain quickly made a name for itself by always having hot, melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts on hand to make the wait time sweeter, and a bright neon sign broadcasting the message to cars and passersby. Now, to celebrate its 80th birthday, Krispy Kreme is giving away a dozen hot and fresh doughnuts for just $0.80 to all customers. But as with most freebie specials, there is a catch.
In order to cash in on the $0.80 dozen, you'll have to buy another dozen at full price. The deal applies to all their doughnuts though, so go crazy. The jelly-filleds make for a nice treat, but the strawberry iced doughnut is really where it's at. And if you haven't had a bite of the cake batter doughnut yet, get on it! It's only available for a limited time. And have you seen these 4th of July Kremes? Adorable.
It's worth noting that the birthday special only applies to signature glazed doughnuts. Though, truth be told, the best part of a trip to The Kreme, as as it was so affectionately called in some circles (no? Just mine?) wasn't even the specialty doughnuts, but the free glazed classics they handed out when lines got long. Fans loved the free samples, and the glazed doughnut is still Krispy Kreme's best-seller, so it makes perfect sense that they'd celebrate such a monumental occasion by highlighting old reliable.
Swing by any Krispy Kreme across the U.S. and Canada on Friday, Jul. 14 to cash in on the special, and don't forget to pick up a festive hat while you're at it!

History between women and final

Bangladesh will need to make a small piece of history in the SAFF Women's Championship if they are to ensure back-to-back final berths when they take on four-time champions India in the semifinal at the Sahid Rangsala in Biratnagar today.
The match will get underway at 3:15pm after the first semifinal between hosts Nepal and Sri Lanka at 11:00am at the same ground.
India have never been defeated in the 21 matches they have played in the SAFF Women's Championship since the inaugural edition in 2010, all the while averaging an incredible 6.23 goals per game. They were held to a draw only once, a goalless encounter against Bangladesh after 18 consecutive wins in the regional women's football extravaganza.
However, India are standing firmly in the way of Bangladesh's dream of playing consecutive finals and making history. The four-time champions are on song and have recorded massive wins against Maldives (6-0) and Sri Lanka (5-0) in the group stage, with seven different goalscorers.
Beating their neighbours is going to be as hard a task as climbing Mount Everest for Bangladesh, but it is not impossible as the young ladies showed when they almost caught out their superior opponents two years ago during that goalless draw.
A positive attitude was reflected by the girls when they were training at the Delhi Public School ground yesterday.
"India are obviously a strong team but there is no reason to be nervous about playing them because we played South Korea, Japan and China as part of our preparations for the AFC Age-Group Championships. I told my teammates that there is nothing to be worried about because although India are ahead of us in terms of experience, we have an opportunity to reach the final by performing well," captain Sabina Khatun said after training. "I scored against India before and will try my best to score again. But we also have other players capable of scoring and hopefully they will try to avail the opportunities."
Bangladesh are likely to make two changes by including fit-again Krishna Rani Sarker and Sanjida Khatun in place of Misrat Jahan Moushumi and Nilufar Yesmin. They are also likely to play attacking football to get a goal as early as possible.
"We are not thinking about the past or India's strength. We will go for a win and the girls will give their all," said head coach Golam Rabbani Choton. "As a coach, I don't believe tomorrow [Wednesday] will be the last day for Bangladesh because there are many instances in football of weaker teams overcoming big hurdles."
Indian coach Maymol Rocky believes Bangladesh will be tough opponents but was confident of advancing.
"Bangladesh are one of the good sides in the tournament and meeting them will be difficult. We will play up to the mark and thus go through to the final," Rocky said. "We can't say that we will win the match directly because Bangladesh can come hard at us, but we are also prepared for tiebreakers."

Does Mississauga Have a White Supremacist Problem?
by Alan Kan on October 22, 2017
At first, that sounds like a ludicrous question. Canada is not the United States; we have not yet had a massive right wing, neo-Nazi gathering like Charlottesville, Virginia or other racially charged incident like south of the border, nor do we have a political leader seemingly paying lip service to the KKK. We have this inherent sense that we are more socially progressive than the United States.
But even in Mississauga, Canada's sixth largest city and one of the most diverse communities in the country, we have had incidents lately that are quite troubling. There was this contentious Peel District School Board (PDSB) meeting where a man from a group called Rise Canada said Muslim students weren't even Canadian. Another school board meeting over accommodating Friday prayers for Muslim students saw a man rip up the pages from the Qu'ran, declaring Islam an evil religion. It also got to a point where Islamophobic protests were being held outside a Mississauga high school.
With hate crimes being on the rise in Canada and the police showing concern, this prompted a conversation, if you will, on a rather contentious topic: Does Mississauga have a white supremacist problem? This "Community Conversation" was organized this past week by Studio 89 and featured a panel of three individuals who have experienced racism, discrimination and who work in the area of advancing human right and standing up for racialized communities experiencing such discrimination.
Malia is currently a student attending University of Toronto Mississauga, and is also a member of the UTM Muslim Students Association. Gilary Massa is a community activist from Toronto, and the GTA Advisory Coordinator for the National Council of Canadian Muslims. Charlotte Lake is also from Toronto, and was introduced as a transgender and anti-transphobia activist.
The first point raised before the presentations was that discrimination takes many forms, such as anti-blackness, indigenous violence, anti-semitism, homophobia, transphobia, anti-immigrant/refugee, and anti-migrant worker. But because they have been prevalent in the news media, this talk centred around white supremacy in relation to Islamophobia.
During the introductions, there was a short slideshow about various examples of the rise of white supremacy, namely the infamous Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh's recent confrontation with an anti-Islamic protester. But there was one slide of a painting from renowned Indigneous Canadian artist Kent Monkman depicting how Canada was founded when white settlers colonized and took over Native territory.
The Scream, by Kent Monkman
The point behind Monkman's work is that because the country was founded on colonialism, that legacy lives on in the way race relations have unfolded in Canada. In terms of how this has affected Muslims in Mississauga, Malia recalled how students at those Islamophobic protests outside their school were told by protesters "I'm gonna rape you." This happened right in front of police officers—officers who allegedly did nothing.
Malia said she did not have a high expectation of anything positive coming from Peel Police Chief Jennifer Evans or others, saying there is hypocrisy when politicians and other public officials come out to events to shake their hands and take pictures, but do nothing concrete for the communities when it's most needed. She also recalled how in Grade 5, a student grabbed the back of her head on her hijab, telling her he was checking to see "if there were any bombs in there," and the teachers didn't do anything to reprimand that student.
While no arrests were made at the protests targeting Islamic students, Peel police did eventually arrest and charge a former Mississauga mayoral candidate active on the anti-Islam file in July with hate-motivated crime.
Is there a reason for this seeming inaction on Islamophobia by people in positions of authority, however? Perhaps it is just an inherent trait in white culture that they do not know, at least with Islamophobia, how to properly respond to it. Malia even shared some criteria from the RCMP on how they determine whether someone is getting radicalized. Two of which were watching too many Islamic videos and taking too many trips to a mosque…which, if you're a young Muslim, is a perfectly normal thing to do.
The next speaker was Gilary Massa from the National Council of Canadian Muslims. She said Canada does have a white supremacist problem, but it was not so much to do with individual white people, but rather a sense of privilege that has been ingrained throughout generations. It is a system where white people believe they have this system they benefit from. As an extreme example of this viewpoint, Massa played a voicemail her organization received talking about the Syrian refugees.
Someone should tell the woman that her assertion that Muslims and Islam were the only source of terrorism in human history is patently false. It's funny how no one is asking all Catholics to take responsibility for the crimes committed by the Irish Republican Army (IRA), but the double standard for Muslims seems to apply.
But according to Massa this is a familiar form of rhetoric that has been deployed in order to provide some form of justification for this type of viewpoint. She also noted that the so-called Alt-right groups proliferating today have adopted the tactics of white supremacists, employing this racial rhetoric, but not calling themselves that in order to hide behind a curtain of normalcy.
Charlotte Lake then gave some information about the tactics that white supremacist groups use and how people should confront them on their racism, reminding everyone that not all white people are racists. But with the recent events in Charlottesville, it showed that these Alt-right groups are getting more bold and gathering in public places to see what how far they can push the envelope to see what they could get away with doing.
Lake also suggested that simple actions could do much to de-escalate racism, such as removing racist graffiti before anyone sees it. But it also requires people fighting racism to take certain risks, and confront racism when they see it playing out right in front of them.
The forum then moved into the Q&A session. I posed the question of how can people who have genuine questions about Islam or the Muslim community ask them without being perceived as being racist. One such example is what is termed as barbaric cultural practices, such as female genital mutilation (FGM). Massa replied that Islamophobia relies on an archetype, an artificial framing of a stereotype, in order to fuel it. She said FGM is a cultural practice, not a religious one, and FGM is not mentioned anywhere in the Qu'ran.
Massa then said it's similar to how the media has framed 'honour killings' for Muslims. When you see a non-Muslim husbands kill their wives for alleged unfaithfulness, that is termed as 'gender based violence', but Massa asked isn't that also a form of honour killing? After all, the man's honour was affected. But the media does not frame it that way and a double standard gets applied for Islamic communities when they get the 'honour killing' label, though this is by no means justification for such crimes.
Frankly, this whole discussion is the most important to young Muslims who are either in high school or university, and most of those in attendance were of that demographic. One student said she was asked by the PDSB to sign a form when she wanted to pray on Fridays, highlighting bureaucratic hurdles she and others like her have to do in order to engage in their religious practices.
We should all be vigilant that in 2017, racism is still alive and well and despite the fact we live in one of the more diverse and open communities in Canada, we should not be complacent if we see this kind of white supremacist activity occurring in Mississauga.

Remember the last time someone upset you? Did something that really hurt? Did you stop to ask yourself, Why? What do I believe about this event that caused the pain?
I don't know if it's a rare person or not that will ask such a question of themselves. I only know I began asking myself at least a year before I encountered Stoicism, because I was sick and tired of having a few very specific messages regarding various aspects of my identity bombard me constantly. This post is not about those messages, though, it's about the broader context, about the ability to ask oneself that pivotal question.
What do I believe about X event that caused me pain/discomfort/fear/etc?
I know. I know. Again with the Eyebrow of Incredulity. But let us examine further.
In the GIF above we have a beautiful flower blooming from a rather spiky cactus. Without an observer, the flower blooms, the cactus continues to live, and no more need be said of the matter. Yet what if…you stepped on the cactus? Somehow?
I've seen a range of reactions to a stubbed toe, even in a single person over the course of years. The event never changed. It was always a stubbed toe, usually on the leg of the same table, in the same kitchen. Yet the reaction varied so much.
I see the same concept in broader society. Three people with similar backgrounds encounter the same person, hear the same set of words, and have three totally different reactions. Some of this has to do with personality, absolutely. A large portion of it, though, has to do with beliefs.
First, the stubbed toe. If I believe the world is out to get me – even the table – well, when I stub my toe on that table, I'm probably going to lash out at the table, hit it, push it, do something to express that this event has angered me. Not only am I feeling the physical pain from stubbing my toe, I'm also feeling the rage and anger at having the world lash out at me through the table being in my way and thus my toe getting stubbed.
Yet if I believe that the table is nothing more than an object, incapable of action, and that the human body is a fallible machine which occasionally perceives objects inaccurately in relation to myself, then stubbing my toe is, at some point, inevitable, as is the pain that accompanies it. This belief in no way stops the physical pain from hitting when my toe hits the table. What it does do is allow me to simply grimace, acknowledge that my toe is in momentary pain, and move on.
One of the purposes of Stoic philosophy is to learn to transcend over-emotionalism by understanding what is within our control and ignoring the rest. In order to do this, we must learn to examine every belief we hold, both about the physical world, as evidenced in the stubbed toe example, and about our internal emotional world. In modern U.S. society, we cling to a hold-over from rationalism – the idea that opinions and actions should be based on reason and knowledge rather than on religious belief or emotional response – while at the same time encouraging ideas such as the need to always and unequivocally medicate mental disorders – specifically anxiety and depression – in order for the brain to function in a rational manner.
While I, myself, have found medication useful, more useful by far has been finding the tools to challenge the beliefs these disorders encourage in me. Stoicism has been one of those tools, especially because of this idea that it is not the event that upsets me, it is the belief.
During my depressive episodes, for example, my mind has a habit of informing me that I am a horrendous failure because I – slightly – burned dinner. Thus I'm incapable of ever finishing anything, should never start a project, and the list goes on ad infinitum. Event? Dinner slightly burned. Belief? I am useless as a person because I never finish anything and if I do, it's horrible.
With the cognitive behavioral therapists I've worked with, the idea is to find evidence to the contrary to counter this belief. With Stoicism, the idea is to look at the belief itself and ask myself whether holding this belief promotes a virtuous, productive life, or causes me undue discomfort. Well, believing I'm useless – in my estimation – most certainly counts as the latter.
Additionally challenging the belief head on allows me to both develop the critical thinking skills to FIND that belief, and then to ask whether it serves me. If it does not, I can then replace it with a new belief that better serves me. Back to burning dinner, let us replace the belief that I am useless with the belief that I am a fallible human and occasionally make mistakes. Thus, burning dinner becomes one of those occasional mistakes, I make something else, and I move on.
I know, it sounds implausible. Especially when plenty of parts of society would have us believe that there's absolutely NOTHING we can do for our mental disorders, and they will always be exactly as miserable as they are or worse. Yet that too is a belief that we may choose to accept or discard.
It is true that we do not control our body, and in the event of a genuine chemical imbalance, medication can be essential. I'm on two right now, and I'm under no illusions that adopting a Stoic mindset will indefinitely cure my disorders. On the other hand, in just the few short weeks I've explored the subject, I've experienced a significant improvement in my quality of life by adopting the five core principles I'm discussing this week.
I've even curbed a few minor anxiety attacks with it.
Will it help you? Perhaps. If you believe it will.

21 When they had threatened them further, they let them go (finding no basis on which to punish them) on account of the people, because they were all glorifying God for what had happened;
23 When they had been released, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

33 After they had spent time there, they were sent away from the brethren in peace to those who had sent them out.

Rangers: Greg Stewart admits being disappointed with lack of game-time at Ibrox
By Liam Togher
Rangers forward Greg Stewart has admitted that he is disappointed with his lack of starts for the club this season but has challenged himself to convince manager Steven Gerrard to pick him more regularly.
Speaking to the Glasgow Times, the 29-year-old conceded that it hasn't been easy to get into the team given the level of attacking competition in the Light Blues' squad.
He said: "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed not to play every game, but you can only pick 11 players. It's just the way it goes. All you can try and do as a player is, when you get a chance, try and get in the manager's mind to pick you for the next game.
"But the boys have been performing well in the last few games. It has been difficult to get in and the manager has not really changed much. It is just the way it is."
Stewart has been in Rangers' starting line-up just five times in all competitions so far this season, most recently against Motherwell in late October. [via TransferMarkt]
His uphill struggle for recognition from Gerrard was summarised by his one-minute substitute appearance against the Well last Sunday and his failure to make it off the bench in last week's Europa League draw against Young Boys.
Stewart, a versatile attacker who can play on either flank, at centre-forward or as an attacking midfielder, has been reasonably productive with the game-time that he has been afforded this season.
In 502 minutes of action in the current campaign, he has scored three goals and set up another four, netting a late brace against Hearts earlier this month after coming on as a 74th-minute substitute (as per BBC).
Stewart's prospects of playing a significant role in Friday night's visit to Hibernian have been improved by the suspension of Alfredo Morelos after Rangers' top scorer (27 goals this term) was sent off in the 2-0 win at Fir Park a couple of days ago.
With Jermain Defoe being Rangers' next most prolific player after Morelos, having scored 13 goals in 896 minutes of action this season, he seems the most likely starter at centre-forward on Friday night.
However, with Stewart the only other recognised centre-forward in Gerrard's squad, the 29-year-old looks set for at least a place on the bench, and his ability to play in a variety of attacking roles could see him being handed a rare start.
If Stewart is given his chance against Hibernian, the onus is on him to make the most of it just as he did against another Edinburgh club at the start of December, especially after publicly stating his desire to play more regularly.
Rangers fans, do you think Stewart could start against Hibernian with Morelos suspended? Was he right to speak out about his lack of opportunities in the first team? Comment below with your views!
