What does it take to attract developers to your organization and to create an environment internally where they feel empowered to do their best work. One of the most successful strategies is to employ a great developer evangelist, which we'll shorten to DevEv for brevity's sake. In an era of remote work, DevEvs might be needed more than ever — advocating for the needs of programmers, ensuring collaboration across business units, liaising with external partners, and creating a positive environment.
Attracting great developer talent is difficult, as demand continues to outpace supply in many areas. And while individual companies compete for talent, it takes the work of many companies to create the products and services people love and need in today's world. Cross-company awareness and collaboration becomes increasingly important in our connected world.
In the piece below, we'll dive into more detail on what developer evangelism means and how people working in DevEv do their jobs. Then we'll explore the criteria a company should consider before investing in a DevEv program and how to know when your organization is ready to benefit from this practice.
What does a developer evangelist really do?
So what does that look like on a day to day? Christian Heilmann's free resource seems like a good starting point: "A developer evangelist is a spokesperson, mediator, and translator between a company and its technical staff."
The role is all about improving communication, internally and externally, to support the creation of good work. As Jon Chan, an engineering manager, who has been with Stack since 2013 and has done a lot of developer evangelism for the company put it: "A developer evangelist is someone who promotes and futhers the company agenda in the public eye of the community."
On a tactical level, this may involve a wide range of duties from improving the internal developer experience (advocating for new tools or processes, supporting internal and external meetups, protecting developers' time for and facilitating their open source contributions), a lot of content marketing starting with blogging and speaking engagement for developers or sometimes even joining the conversation online, but extends to managing educational materials around the company's products or APIs.
Let's look at some practical examples and then discuss if it's the right time for your organization to invest in developer evangelism.
How can engineering teams connect with a company's user base and surrounding global tech community? Take a look at how developer evangelists like Nathaniel Okenwa at Twilio often host webinars to share valuable insights for professional development and growth.
Join @Twilio Developer Evangelist, Nathaniel Okenwa @chatterboxCoder and Staff, Software Engineer, Elmer Thomas @thinkingserious on the next episode of Twilio Insiders, Wednesday, Oct 7th at 12:30pm EDT / 5:30pm BST streaming live on https://t.co/amdRMwjWIL pic.twitter.com/XYsTN0woRy— Twilio Developers (@TwilioDevs) October 7, 2020
Even a simple tweet, like the following GIFY tutorial from Ashley Alicea, senior developer advocate for games at Unity3D, can communicate a message about your team's engineering culture. In this case, a tweet makes a simple statement about the benefits for developers. But it also opens the door to deeper, longer lasting interactions by offering a gamified tutorial where curious coders can level up.
Specific tactics, like webinars and interacting with developers using your product, are only part of a successful DevEv experience. As Chloe Condon, senior cloud advocate at Microsoft explains, the ability to create impact in a DevEv role begins with the right mindset.
"Every day is different," says Condon. "Pre-COVID, you could catch me flying around the globe giving talks about Azure, hosting events at the Microsoft Reactor, writing blog posts, hosting office hours, and attending meetups (sometimes while singing). I spent a lot of time writing talks, hosting webinars, tweeting, and recording podcasts. Pre-2020, I hosted a monthly, camp-themed meet-up. I miss these events a lot.
The shift to new styles of working during a pandemic has been dramatic. "These days it still varies. I work on our academic team targeting students. That means a lot of live streaming, video content brainstorming sessions, blog writing, and live presenting at online conferences. I'm still hosting webinars and making tutorials with a big focus on video content since that's most people's main way of communication for now."
While being a broadway singer is not a requirement for developer evangelists, being a great communicator is. Chloe Condon in a duet with Misty robot.
Here are some thoughts about introducing evangelism to your engineering org.
Should you hire a developer evangelist?
If you are a company in need of deeper connections with developers, there are at least a couple of ways to go about it. While it's common to see developer evangelists at big, public tech companies, not every organization can afford a dedicated DevEv team. For smaller organizations, you can hire a full-time developer advocate or you can establish a culture of developer evangelism among your team. At Stack Overflow, we don't currently have anyone with the job title advocate or evangelist, but from the start it's been part of our culture. We spoke about this with Jon Chan and David Haney, two tenured engineers and team leads who have been with the company for a long time and see themselves as sometimes wearing a developer evangelist hat. "There are companies who benefit from developer evangelism as a position, others benefit from a culture of dev evangelism," explains Haney.

School brings in legal expert over handshake issue
Muslimschoolsstudents

A Swiss legal expert will decide on the validity of a controversial decision by a school in northern Switzerland that allows male Muslim students to avoid shaking hands with female teachers for religious reasons, an official said on Tuesday.
The decision by a school in Therwil sought to reach a compromise with two male students, aged 14 and 15, and their families, but ended up causing uproar and fierce public debate over the limits of religious freedom.
"We have asked for an expert opinion from our legal service," said Deborah Murith, spokeswoman for the education department in the canton of Basel-Country, where Therwil is located.
The two students informed the school that the Swiss custom of pupils shaking teachers' hands violated their faith if the teacher is a woman.
To avoid approving the de facto discrimination of female teachers, the school decided to exempt the boys from shaking hands with any of their teachers, regardless of sex.
That ruling — made independently by the school without involvement of the cantonal authorities or municipal officials — triggered an outcry across Switzerland.
Murith told AFP that the case was "not simple" and that Basel was now trying "to find a balance between religious liberty, the right to education and the legally enshrined equality between men and women."
She said the compromise reached by the school could serve as a "provisional measure", while the legal expert prepares guidance, without specifying when that decision would be made.
The head of the Therwil school system, Christine Akeret, told Swiss media that she plans to abide by the expert ruling, but voiced frustration that she had not previously been given instruction from higher authorities on the matter.
Murith agreed that "there is currently a gap in the current regulation on this subject.
"That is why we have asked for an expert legal opinion," she said.
In an interview with 20 Minuten on Tuesday, Nabil Arab, manager of the foundation running the Basel mosque attended by the two boys – where their father is the Imam, according to reports – defended the boys, saying that they simply want to practise their religion.
Their refusal to shake hands with women was guided by the life of the Prophet, he said, and was actually a sign of respect.
"No woman wants to be a sex object," he told the paper, saying that physical contact with women was a stimuli for young men that could end badly.
"I understand that it may seem strange to many Swiss and I can understand the criticism," Arab added.
Switzerland's population of eight million people includes an estimated 350,000 Muslims.
Previous similar disputes have centred on Muslim parents who demanded that their daughters be exempt from swimming lessons, a case that led to the parents being fined.
Muslim families have however secured victories in court against schools which sought to ban the full face veil.

Dayal Group Forge into Steel Mill
Oct. 3, 2017, 6:23 a.m.
DAYAL Steels Limited has invested in a $22 million steel mill factory in Ba with an official ground-breaking ceremony kicking off construction yesterday.
A subsidiary of the MR Dayal Group, the project will place the family-owned company as Fiji's largest steel rolling mill from its Yalalevu base, under the directorship of Jay Dayal.
Speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony, Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said the country needed to diversify its economic base instead of being overly dependent on tourism and sugar.
"If the cyclone (Winston) had hit all the major tourism areas, we would have been economically set back by 30 years," he said, noting that an economic dependence on a select few industries heightened risk.
"So our job as Government is to mitigate that risk, to engender a sense of confidence in businesses to invest in other areas and this steel mill is a classic example of that; by exporting more, we get more foreign dollars, build up foreign reserves, create more jobs."
Mill products will include automated wire mesh products and roofing division products, made to international standards, with the project partially stirred by Ba's inclusion in Fiji's tax-free region.

STAGE 4 METS, along with a very weird pattern of Cancer as you would expect.InchDo not Quit The BattleInch!! In 2000 my sister had cancer of the colon, she'd surgery with no chemotherapy following, 11 yrs later cancer came during the lung,it had been large, she did chemotherapy, which contain Folfox and Avastin for 7 several weeks,(Ask your Oncologist relating to this drug) following this she'd a dog scan done, and also the cancer vanished. Her Oncologist was shocked, She'd surgery to get rid of negligence the lung the cancer is at (Simply to be safe and sound) It doesnt stop here,Things will get worse. While she was dealing with the surgery, her 7 years old boy (My Nephew) got sick having a viral type illiness, it switched out he had Brain Cancer, while she what food was in St Judes Hospital with him, Her cancer returned, this time around it came during the Brain, and it was large, so large it shifted the mind, coupled with burst since it didn't have what to do, it had been very aggressive coupled with grown so large. she'd nuclear physics to get rid of it, it was again successful on her, choices could remove all of the cancer in the brain,following this surgery my sister began radiation,Rays was destroying her good cells, but was somewhat effective, during this period, that was again a couple of month later cancer returns again towards the pelvic area. Me and my buddy had did lots of research on the web, and located a process known as Cyber Knife, we made the decision to provide mtss is a try, so it demonstrated to be really effective, and just targeted cancer itself, and didnt destroy all the good surrounding tissue and cells. The cyber knife would be a success in killing cancer, and introduced her discomfort in check. A couple of several weeks passed, my sister was looking to get back on her behalf ft, and when again cancer came back towards the brain again, This time around we made the decision to choose the Cyber Knife again adopted by Chemotherapy, that was again good at killing the tumor within the brain. My sister has already established scan after scan, and also the cancer continues to be turning up within the pelvic bone, however this time that it returned around the oposite side from the bone, not where it had been origionally, my sister is discomfort free, and it is doing chemotherapy with a brand new drug known as Zaltrap, it has shown to be good at killing cancer, but my sister continues to be through HELL, there's many negative effects for this chemotherapy, and also the drug Zaltrap, but situations are benefiting from better. using the elegance of GOD, and all sorts of hopes that they has recieved. Hopefully soon she'll beat everything. what i must have to say is keep fighting like she's doing, dont quit, maintain a healthy diet,even if you dont want food there's medications to help make you consume, avoid sugars, and even if you feel so tired all the Chemotherapy, escape and move about anyway, even when its for one couple of minutes, and continue on with your existence, place your belief in GOD, I understand that GOD is by using her, she's experienced a great deal but she's never threw in the towel,she's had some very near misses, but with the support of loved ones, and remaining on the top of products, we wouldn't be where we're today! Get every scan you will get, and make certain its frequently. For those who have never attempted Cyber Knife, we recomend it, (Seek advice from your Oncologist about Cyber Knife) Obtain a second Opinion while in doubt about things, We did. Cyber Knife was a great benefit to her in destroying the tumors, and taking her discomfort away, and again "PLEASE DONT EVER QuitInch There's always hope, I really hope this gives you some beliefs in how you can combat this ailment, and provide your ex one some respite in the cancer, and obtain them on the path to recovery!! we are praying for every and everybody individuals, and get that you simply do exactly the same in my sister Barbara too! Trust me we all know what your dealing with!! Make sure to get copies of all of the reports, Bloodstream work, Radiation reports,Doctors notes etc, and research it on the web, I understand this appear just like a lot, but you should know all you can learn about whats happening, we did so we have many userful stuff here, and the way to better take care of our sister, and merely dont pay attention to exactly what the doctors say! do not be afraid to inquire about questions, or request things, there are numerous things available that may help you by helping cover their this. God Bless everyone!

Social Development Minister pledges Ministry's unwavering support in fight to counter violence against women
March 11, 2013 in NIA
Junior Minister in the Ministry of Social Development on Nevis Hon. Hazel Brandy-Williams at the International Women's Day March and Rally at the Elquemedo Willett Park organised by the Department of Social Services on March 08, 2013. Sitting next to her is Premier of Nevis Hon. Vance Amory
NIA CHARLESTOWN NEVIS (March 11, 20130 — The Ministry of Social Development on Nevis has every intention to wrestle the age old issue of violence against women. That assurance came from Junior Minister Hon. Hazel Brandy-Williams as she delivered remarks at a March and Rally organised by the Department of Social Services in observance of International Women's Day 2013.
The rally followed a march through the streets of Charlestown to the Elquemedo Willett Park on March 08, 2013. Both events were held under the theme "A Promise is a Promise – Time for Action to end Violence against Women".
"I want to assure you that it is the intention of my Ministry as well as the Nevis Island Administration to wrestle the age old problem to the ground by promoting the concepts of gender equity, gender equality and harmony in male and female relationships.
"I am particularly struck by the words "time for action" because I believe that we could no longer continue to theorise and talk about his issue but we must work together to rid our society of the scourge of violence against women in all forms," she said.
According to Mrs. Brandy-Williams, the Ministry was very aware that violence, in particular domestic violence, had impacted many women and families which had resulted in untold social and economic costs in the communities.
However, she said the time had come for Nevisians to make positive steps in collaboration with the Ministry and Division of Gender Affairs to create and promote health and wellness in their families. The Minister cited that if families were building blocks in the society, then Nevis would not be well if the problem of violence was allowed to take root and fester in the community.
Notwithstanding, she believed that an effective response to violence against women had to involve a collaborative effort between women and men and all sectors of the community which included law enforcement.
"It is clear to me that a part of the change agenda must be directed at the legislative, social and cultural beliefs and practises that are deeply embedded in our society.
"We must start by proclaiming loudly that all types of violence against women are criminal acts and violence is not to be condoned in the private setting of our home or in public. There must be a zero tolerance to violence in all its manifestations," she said.
Mrs. Brandy-Williams also noted that the hidden nature of domestic violence had to be removed.
"We must remove the stigma of reporting this crime to authorities. Women, we must seek support from persons trained to assist, we must act as our sister's keeper and most importantly, we must empower women to act on their own behalf to mitigate and reduce the risk of violence against them," she said.
The Minister also called on parents to pay attention to how boys and girls were socialised in the home. She said research had shown that violence was a learned behaviour which involved issues of power and control over the weaker victim.
She further explained that it was important for the introduction of an intervention programme which sought to treat the casual factors if long term solutions were to be provided to what she deemed as a potentially catastrophic problem.
In conclusion The Minister urged all to use the March as a starting point of the change agenda that must be embarked on to tackle the issue of violence to empower the island's man and women to build stable families. "There is no excuse for abuse, she said, "the starting point is to acknowledge that any form of violence is a criminal act".

Do you feel as if you have just gone ten rounds with your bra each morning as you twist and struggle to get your arms in or try to fasten fiddly hooks?
Well struggle no more, as this stylish and practical Zip Front Fastening Comfort Bra is as easy as putting on a cardigan or jacket.
But what's more is it's made from a beautifully soft, stretchy and seamless Nylon and Spandex mix and with no bones or uncomfortable underwiring to dig in, it provides real comfort, great support and creates a lovely smooth profile – whatever you're wearing.
It's really that comfortable you could sleep in it too.
Pack of 3 contains 1x beige, 1x white and 1x black.
Sizes M (size 6-8), L (size 10-12), XL (size 14/16), XXL (size 18/20).
I'm suffering with a very painful shoulder and can't do my bra up at the back so these bras with the zip front are perfect for me. Value for money too. Very comfortable item.
"The Style Is Perfect Not Sure On Cup Sizing."
Would be much better health wise if this bra was made inI cool Cotton ....spandex nylon etc realy bad material next to skin and as for sleeping in it oh dear what a bad idea..as another customer has mentioned modelled on a slim young thing.. when I feel it's older heavier busted women badly need this type of bra in cool cotton..but we never appear to be considered.
Fits ok - comfortable but the zip is not good - awkward to move - therefore I do not undo - pull it over my head - not ideal. I wonder how long the 3 Bras will last.
These bra's are nice, easy to put on,and don't pinch!


HONGKOU District will build new museums and art facilities, and open up many of the former residences of celebrated personalities to the public.
The district aims to become the "heritage and promotion hub" by 2021 for Haipai that combines traditional Chinese with Western culture, the local government said in an industrial guideline that was released over the weekend.
Haipai, or Shanghai style, originated in Shanghai in the 20th century. It is often used to describe theater, paintings, novels and architecture with a strong Shanghai angle. Like the city, Shanghai style is considered inclusive and diverse.
Hongkou was the birthplace of contemporary Haipai culture as a large swathe of migrant population lived in the district after 1920s. Among the settlers were those from Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and also the earliest expatriates from the United States and Japan, according to Xiong Yuezhi, a historian with the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.
The local culture became more diverse after about 23,000 Jewish refugees arrived in the city between 1933 and 1941 to escape the Nazis during the World War II. Most of them lived in Hongkou, said Xiong.
The century-old Astor House Hotel near the Bund housed big names like physicist Albert Einstein, actor Charlie Chaplin and writer Edgar Snow. The hotel is currently closed and will reopen as an exhibition and education base for China's capital market. President Xi Jinping once called Hongkou as the birthplace of Haipai and was the gathering place for cultural celebrities.
Part of the plan involves expanding the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum and building new museums, art galleries, exhibition halls and book stores over three years. Most of them will come up at the North Bund area, or the Huangpu River waterfront.
Historic venues, mainly along the Sichuan Road N., will be renovated to showcase China's revolutionary and cultural history of the 1930s.
The area near the commercial road has 57 historic sites. They include the Memorial Site of the 4th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the League of Leftist Writers Museum, and homes of renowned writers and intellectuals from early last century.
The old league building is hidden on what used to be Darroch Road, known as Duolun Road now, which during the 1920s and 1930s was a community of famous writers and artists such as Lu Xun (1881-1936), Ding Ling (1904-1986) and Mao Dun (1896-1981) — many of whom joined the league. Many of their works were typical representatives of Haipai literature.
The public will now have access to some of these writers' former residences. Jing Yun Li, for instance, which is listed as the "No. 1 Celebrity Lane," will be restored and developed for exhibitions, the guideline said. Lu Xun, Chen Wangdao (1891-1977), Mao Dun, Ye Shengtao (1894-1988) and Rou Shi (1902-1931) were some of the famous Chinese writers and scholars who lived in typical shikumen buildings in the lane.
In October 1927, Lu Xun and his wife Xu Guangping moved to No. 23, Lane 35 Hengbang Road and lived there for three and a half years. Their eldest son Zhou Haiying was born there in 1929.
The district government also aims to highlight the culture and history of the Chin Woo Athletic Association. The association was founded by Huo Yuanjia (1868-1910), who is regarded as a hero after defeating foreign fighters in kung fu bouts.
A Chin Woo cultural development center will be built here to promote martial arts culture worldwide.

The shed in my backyard is over 10 years old now, and I have been slowly renovating it over the last couple of years. The original siding was inexpensive pine (6″, rabbeted) that I attached directly to the plywood carcass, i.e. no furring strips. The siding was stained years ago, and just looked tired, and I wanted to allow it to breath better, so I decided to replace it with something that will last the remainder of the shed's life. So I ordered some 6″ rabbeted siding from Quebec company Maibec. The old siding went to a good home, to be re-cycled into a new shed. One benefit of this siding is that it comes pre-painted – factory painted lumber is great because it has been added in an environment-controlled facility, and is painted all-six-sides. Another benefit is that there is a whole bunch of matching trim. Even the nails to attach the siding come colour-matched.
Maibec have a bunch of different options, and a bunch of different systems, and I have to say the material is a pleasure to work with. The siding is kiln-dried spruce-fir, as opposed to generic siding that is a hodge-podge of species, and often warped. I used 1×3 furring strips, aligned with the 2×6 walls, so 14-16″ apart. The siding is attached using ring shank nails, and Maibec provide a special plastic hammer-cap to prevent marring the nails. They also provide a multitude of perforated ventilation strips for the top and bottom of walls to allow for ventilation behind the siding, and preventing pests from entering.
It is not inexpensive (likely C$6 a square foot all in for materials), but there are inherent labour savings from not having to paint the siding, and deal with warped siding.

No. 460 Squadron is a Royal Australian Air Force intelligence unit active within the Defence Imagery and Geospatial Organisation (DIGO). It was first formed as a heavy bomber squadron during World War II on 15 November 1941 and disbanded on 10 October 1945 after seeing extensive combat over Europe. The squadron was a multinational unit, but most personnel were Australian. No. 460 Squadron was reformed on 2 July 2010 and is currently located in Canberra.

History

World War II

No. 460 Squadron RAAF was formed from 'C' Flight of No. 458 Squadron RAAF at RAF Molesworth, Huntingdonshire on 15 November 1941, as a bomber squadron equipped with Wellington Mk.IV aircraft. Originally part of No. 8 Group RAF, Bomber Command, the squadron moved to RAF Breighton, Yorkshire and joined No. 1 Group RAF. The squadron made its first raid, against the German city of Emden, on 12 March 1942. The following night, five crews from the squadron participated in a raid on harbour facilities around Dunkirk, during which the squadron suffered its first losses of the war when one Wellington was shot down. A six-week "apprenticeship" period followed until the end of April 1942, during which the squadron was assigned mainly to attack less heavily defended targets on the French Channel coast; nevertheless, the squadron also undertook several attacks against targets in Germany during this time also. The squadron's first three months of operations saw it carry out 34 raids. For each raid, at least two aircraft were contributed, with some raids seeing as many as 10 aircraft taking part; a 30 May 1942 raid on Cologne saw 18 aircraft from No. 460 Squadron assigned. A total of six crews were lost during these raids.

Losses between June and August amounted to 20 aircraft, and at the end of the period the squadron began to convert to Halifax Mk.IIs, but in October the squadron was re-equipped with Lancaster Mks. I and III. The following May, No. 460 Squadron relocated to RAF Binbrook, Lincolnshire, from where it participated in the strategic bombing of Germany.

In late 1943 and early 1944, the squadron flew sorties in the Battle of Berlin. During the spring and summer of 1944, the squadron flew many missions in support of the D-Day landings. Its final raid was an attack on Adolf Hitler's mountain retreat of Berchtesgaden on Anzac Day, 1945. In May, No. 460 Squadron joined Operation Manna, the transportation of relief supplies to starving Dutch civilians. The squadron moved to RAF East Kirkby, Lincolnshire, in preparation for re-location to the Pacific theatre, as part of a proposed Commonwealth strategic air force known as Tiger Force, for the invasion of Japan. The move became unnecessary following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and No. 460 Squadron disbanded on 10 October 1945.

The squadron flew the most sorties of any Australian bomber squadron and dropped more bomb tonnage than any squadron in the whole of Bomber Command—24,856 tons, which it dropped over 6,262 sorties. In doing that it lost 188 aircraft and suffered 1,018 combat deaths (589 of whom were Australian). This was the most of any Australian squadron during the war, with No. 460 Squadron effectively wiped out five times over its existence. RAF Bomber Command represented only two percent of total Australian enlistments during World War II, but accounted for almost 20 percent of personnel killed in action. Total Bomber Command losses were 55,573 for all nationalities.

No. 460 Squadron is commemorated at the Australian War Memorial by a display featuring its only surviving aircraft, G for George. This aircraft made 90 operational sorties between late 1942 and mid-1944. There is a memorial to the squadron on the site of the former RAF Binbrook, in Lincolnshire, UK, consisting of a plaque, trees and various memorial benches. There are also memorials in a number of other countries including Denmark, France, the Netherlands (Grafhorst) and Germany, marking the sites of where squadron aircraft crashed or individual crew members were killed.

Current role

On 1 April 2010, then Chief of Air Force Air Marshal Mark Binskin announced that No. 460 Squadron was to be reformed as a non-flying squadron within the Defence Imagery and Geospatial Organisation (DIGO). The squadron was subsequently re-established on 2 July at a ceremony held in front of G for George at the Australian War Memorial.

No. 460 Squadron is currently located in Canberra. Its roles include analysing photos and other imagery to help plan strike missions.

With the loss of the Savannah and the Elyssa, the Texas Navy struggled against the Mexican Blockade. In an effort to bolster its abilities, the Texas Navy purchased the T.N.S. Stella. It was outfitted with 50 pound cannons instead of the traditional 36 pounders. It was also revolutionary in that it carried two 400 pound cannons. Unfortunately, this made the ship slower and somewhat top heavy. However, the massive armament meant that any ship deciding to engage in a gun battle was assured defeat. Unfortunately, the ambitious and infamous Admiral Benard Madoff decided to use the ship for his own purposes and raid the Mexican Treasury. He lay siege to the fort at Vera Cruz where a majority of the gold in Mexico was stored. All that is known from that point is that the fort was leveled to the ground without a trace of gold in sight and no one has seen or heard anything of the gold or the ship.

Gate of St. Romanus, Istanbul
Originally named after a nearby church, this gate nowadays bears the name Topkapi or the "Cannon Gate", after the great Ottoman cannon, the 18-ton "Basilic", that was placed opposite it during the 1453 siege of Constantinople. With a gatehouse of 26.5 m, it is the second-largest gate after the Golden Gate.

Histrionics and Heroin: Nancy and Courtney
January 15, 2018 nowve666 5 Comments
Nancy Spungen is Cluster B All the Way
So is Courtney Love
In reading And I Don't Want to Live This Life by Deborah Spungen, Nancy's mother, I have to wonder if people with histrionic personality disorder can be born that way people are born with psychopathy. There are details in Nancy's childhood that can suggest narcissism or even psychopathy. She certainly controlled her family and was a holy terror to them for years. There is overlap between all the Cluster B "disorders" but I think a histrionic diagnosis fits her the best.
When she was born, February 1, 1958, she had a with a blood condition called ABO incompatibility, similar to RH-negative. She needed a series of transfusions to save her life. After the transfusions, it was evident that she was an extremely volatile person, scrappy and feisty.
I looked for her through the nursery window. My eyes scanned one infant after another sleeping peacefully in a row. She wasn't one of them.
She was lying in a glass-enclosed isolette in the very back of the nursery, naked except for a patch over her navel, where the transfusion had been done. Her mouth was open and she was screaming hysterically. Her yellow body was thrashing about angrily. The fighter description was an apt one — she looked as if she were in the midst of a battle.
Another physical problem was that one of her eyes was crossing and she couldn't keep her tongue in her mouth. The doctor said this could be related to neurological damage caused by the crisis she had endured and that she would outgrow both conditions.
Courtney Love was born July 9, 1964, about five years later. She looked a lot like Nancy Spungeon and was drawn to her. She wanted to play her in the movie Sid and Nancy. She didn't get the role but she played a small part in the movie. There is a strange symmetry between the lives of these two women. Both were deeply involved with music, Courtney fronting her own band, Hole. Both had men who were, themselves, musicians, into punk and grunge, respectively. Both of these relationships ended with murder. Nancy was murdered by her lover, Sid Vicious. Courtney has been accused of murdering her husband, Kurt Cobain. Everyone would have to agree that both were drama queens. Courtney grew up on a commune, spent time in prison and has worked as a stripper (which Nancy did as well). Both were into hard drugs, heroin as were their men.
Courtney, like Nancy, had a troubled childhood. She was in therapy at the age of six and started cutting herself at the age of twelve. Her mom, Linda Carroll says in her book, Her Mother's Daughter, her life was characterized by "violent mood swings, troubles with attachment, terrible dreams, and a sense of persecution had plagued her all her life." She used drugs, recreationally, from an early age.
As far as histrionic personality disorder went, Nancy didn't fall far from the tree. Her mother, Deborah, displayed massive doses of self-pity and self-justification in her book. It's true she was inexperienced as a mother and too prone to accept advice of doctors. A pediatrician told her not to run to the baby with comfort and/or food when she cried because that would "spoil" her. That idea could have come from Babywise, the organization whose manual has been characterized as "tough-love for infants." Babies don't cry to control or manipulate their parents. Meeting their needs doesn't spoil them. Deliberately failing to respond to a crying baby is downright rude. It's just like not answering another adult who has spoken to one. Even Scientology tells people they should "acknowledge" others when spoken to.
In their efforts not to "spoil" Nancy, the Spungeons created an aura in which Nancy's presence dominated more thoroughly than any willful demanding child could never do. They were so afraid of making a sound when Nancy was sleeping, they wouldn't turn a light switch on or off after they put her to bed. "My friend Janet and her husband lived nearby. They came over to visit one night and sat with us in the darkened living room, afraid to utter a single word or use the bathroom. We tiptoed around in stocking feet. We served them iced tea without ice because we were afraid the noise from cracking ice would awaken her." They finally resorted to phenobarbital rather than just comfort or feed her when she cried.
Nancy dominated her family throughout her life. The parents were so afraid of her, they give in to all her demands. They had two more children but those kids had to take second place to Nancy's demands.
After dinner Nancy wanted to watch a particular show on TV in the den and sit in the easy chair. Suzy was already sitting in the chair, watching something else. Nancy changed the station.
"Hey!" Suzy protested.
"I don't wanna watch that, " Nancy snapped. "Get up!"
"I wanna sit there!"
"Why don't yo sit somewhere else, Nancy" I offered.
She ignored me. "Get the fuck up, you little shithead!"
"Get out of that fucking chair you fucking goddamned shithead!"
Frank spoke up. "Don't talk to your sister that way, Nancy."
"Or what, asshole?"
"Or…or…"
Nancy crossed her arms, glared at him. "Go ahead, hit me, why don't ya?"
The color rose in Frank's face.
"Frank, don't start with her," I cautioned.
"She can't talk to her sister that way!"
"You're rising to her bait! I asked you not to! Let it be!"
"You're rising to her bait by letting her get away with her crap!"
"Stop yelling," begged David. "I'm trying to watch TV."
"Don't you starting opening your big fat mouth!" ordered Frank.
"Don't take it out on David!" I cried.
David stormed out, ran upstairs, and slammed his door.
"Suzy, let her sit there," Frank commanded.
"No," Suzy said. "I'm sick of doing things just because she wants to."
"Please, Suzy," I begged. "It'll be easier if you do."
"But is isn't fair, Mommy!" she sniffled.
"Suzy, I order you to get out of that chair at once!" yelled Frank.
She got up, fighting back tears and angrily left the room. Her door slammed.
Nancy triumphantly sat down.
"You happy now?" Frank demanded of her.
"Shut the fuck up," she said. "I'm trying to watch the show."
What craven cowardice! What amazes me most about that scene is that Suzy and David would have even the most modicum respect for the parents who allowed Nancy to walk all over them. That they would try to reclaim their non-existent dignity by playing stern parents to the already obedient children is ludicrous. As obnoxious as Nancy was in that scene, if her parents were such tools, her behavior was more appropriate than that of Suzy and David. At least Nancy had spunk.
Nancy's parents finally put her in an institute called Darlington, a boarding school for disturbed teenagers. The first year was good but the school changed by the second year, the patient-staff ratio changed in the direction of less one-on-one care. Still, she remained in the system until she graduated. Darlington was able to do what the Spungens claimed to be impossible. They handled Nancy and got her through her teen years and school.
Courtney Love's life was more successful than Nancy's. She had her own rock band and she murdered (probably) instead of being murdered. But she felt a strong connection, a pull towards the persona of Nancy Spungen. She tried to get the role of Nancy in the movie Sid and Nancy. Moreover:
Courtney wanted to be seen as another Nancy Spungen. She use to check into hotels with Kurt under the name Nancy and Kurt used the name Simon Richie (Sid's name) It means that when Kurt said, "She looked like Nancy Spungen and I probably could have fucked her that night," comment from Kurt in About A Son was one of Kurt's attempts to flatter her and cover her ass.
Courtney wanted to subvert the archetype. Kurt was a sucker for subversion so it makes sense that he didn't notice that. Subversion is overthrowing something, like a government or law, or it can mean corrupting someone's personal morals, like making a vegetarian eat bacon by tricking her. The Latin root subvertere means "to turn from below," and when you turn something on its head in a sneaky way, that's subversion.
I'm not trying to make Kurt out to be gullible, or weak but he seemed to cave to a lot if not all of what Courtney wanted through her manipulation.
An interview with Kurt by Everett True in 1992, Melody Mker, Kurt says:
So let's take a look at who Nancy Spungen was. 1958-1978
Everyone on the punk scene had slept with her
Everyone called her Nauseating Nancy because they didn't like her.
Heroin addict
She worked as a stripper
Followed rock groups like Aerosmith and The Ramones.
She was mentally ill
Had a troubled childhood (something Cl tried to say about her own childhood but it's been proven otherwise)
She had a reputation for short temper and explosiveness
Accounts of domestic violence between her and Sid
Was said to get Sid hard core hooked on heroin
Responsible for the band "Sex Pistols" breaking up,(Sid played bass)
Here is a snippet of Courtney's audition for Sid and Nancy:
She didn't get the role although she really looks more like Nancy than Cloe Webb. When she said, "I am Nancy," the producer and director should have listened.
But here is the real thing, Nancy and Sid in what was probably their last interview.
Some people call Courtney a psychopath. Both she and Nancy were plenty narcissistic but I think Histrionic Personality Disorder was where they lived.
Another coincidence involves stomach trouble. Kurt Cobain was plagued with it his entire life. Nancy Spungen was stabbed to death in her stomach. Just one more irony.
Deborah Spungen, the actual author of And I Don't Want to Live This Life, certainly had a harrowing and dramatic tale to tell. But she told the tale with no acknowledgement of her own mistakes in raising Nancy, the way she let Nancy manipulate her into making Nancy the center of the family while blaming Nancy for everything. When she wasn't blaming Nancy, she was blaming all the professionals who played a role in dealing with the problems incurred in the raising of her daughter. An example of her self-pity is evident in this quotation.
I had a nightmare that night, the nightmare I was to have so many times over the next three years. I dreamed we were back on Welsh Road. Nancy was five. She was running up to me in the living room, excitedly waving her hands in front of her face.
"Look what I have, Mommy!" she exclaimed. "Look what I have!"
What she had were track marks all over her little girl's hands and arms, the track marks I'd seen in the restaurant.
Then she began to cry.
"Help me, Mommy!" she sobbed. "Help me!"
I tried to reach out to her, but my arms wouldn't move no matter how hard I strained.
I awoke from the nightmare with a start.
Seeing Nancy's track marks haunted me in daylight, too. A few days later Franki and I went to his friend's house, where a briss was being held for the baby that he and his wife had just had.
The proud mother held the lovely pink baby in her arms. When I saw it, I nearly screamed. I saw needle marks on that baby's pudgy little hands. I saw my Nancy's baby hands covered with track marks. I saw my sweet-smelling, innocent infant with a pink ribbon in her hair, the infant who had grown up to be a receptacle of unendurable pain. Maybe this baby would too. Some would. Too many. I couldn't blot out that realization, that fear.
I had to leave the room. I thought I'd get hysterical if I stayed in there with that baby for another second. I tried to compose myself in the dining room.
She repeated this story throughout the book. Her propensity for drama is echoed by Nancy, herself.
We drove in silence for a while. Then out of nowhere, Nancy quietly said, "I'm going to die very soon. Before my twenty-first birthday. I won't live to be twenty-one. I'm never gonna be old. I don't wanna ever be ugly and old. I'm an old lady now anyhow. I'm eighty. There's nothing left. I've already lived a whole lifetime. I'm going out. In a blaze of glory."

Fantastic Writing! Very indepth, I love reading your work!
The similarities are almost spooky.
Cluster B examines two lives. Nature? Nurture? Both? Something else?
Wow – the way you judged and criticized Deborah Spungen just boggles my mind. It is so easy for someone like you who is sitting peacefully in their armchair, in front of their computer, decades after these events happened, to judge another, when they've never been through the sheer hell that the other person has gone through. Just once, try to imagine what the Spungen family went through – for TWENTY YEARS. I have no doubt that you would not have been able to handle it half as well as they did.
I know. But when you put it out before the public, aren't you inviting judgment? You are judging me too right now as well. Whatever. All judgements hurt and all judgements are fucked. But we all judge.


Did you see the Can Xu vs Enrique Bernache fight that was on first? Very entertaining fight.
I got home from work halfway through. The back half was very good. Want me to add it for you to score? I already have the promo poster and everything.
You can I remember how I scored it, a draw in my view.
Thanks for adding Xu vs Bernache my friend.
Wow, a bit of a robbery there, I could see 77-75 Garcia, but no way Zarate won that fight. He did start out well and clearly win the first 2 rounds. But tired badly and maybe won more round after that.
Yeah, I was shocked that Byrd and I had the same card, and the other two were so far off. And no problem on the other. I plan on watching it, too, when they the undercard up as as replay on ESPN+.
Quite surprising scores really, being Garcia is the name and honestly should have won.

Serving Los Angeles and Ventura County Since 1997. Over 15 Years of auto glass experience!
We have all experienced or have known someone who has had to repair or replace the windshield of their car. Often all it takes is a small rock striking our windshield, starting with a circular chip that spreads to a spidery web of cracks. Luckily, most windshield replacements are covered by your car insurance, sometimes up to 100% of the cost, based on your coverage. When looking for auto glass repair, Los Angeles has many listings of professionals who specialize in this field. How do you find the one that is best for you?
First of all, it is important to find a shop that employs technicians that are NGA (National Glass Association) certified and that they meet the AGRSS (Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards). Second, your technician should have good communication with you regarding information about the whole installation. This should include telling you if the windshield is repairable or just simply needs to be replaced and how long it will take to make the repair or replacement. Often windshields can sustain significant damage from the smallest nick, and in Los Angeles, auto glass replacement can be more common than repairs for this reason.
However, if it is determined by your technician that you do not need a replacement and you only need to have your windshield repaired, professionals can fix most dings or chips. A simple repair can be done as long as the damage is smaller than the size of a silver dollar, including any cracks and is most importantly not be located in the driver's line of vision. For windshield repair, Los Angeles shops offer speedy repair your windshield.
In Los Angeles, auto glass is a big industry. From windshield repair and replacements to custom glass and tinting, there is a demand. Due to this demand, it is a very competitive business. That is good for the consumer and insurance companies as competition can help keep prices low.
Another benefit of competition is that it can drive auto glass shops to hire the most highly skilled technicians and to give all of their customers the best customer service for windshield replacement. Los Angeles offers over 70 auto glass companies for you to choose from. In addition to the tips listed previously, it is also important to ask if the shop offers a warranty on repair or replacement. Most written warranties are for at least a year, but our auto glass shop offers lifetime warranties that are good for as long as you own your car. This warranty covers material defects and workmanship issues such as water leaks and air leaks.
When repairing or replacing a windshield, what you must consider is your safety. It is important to realize is that the windshield is actually a major safety element of your car. Auto safety experts say that your windshield offers up to 60 percent of protection in a rollover accident as it keeps the roof of the car from crushing. This is another reason why you should find the best professional.

Leon Ware (* 16. Februar 1940 in Detroit; † 23. Februar 2017 in Marina del Rey, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Soul- und R&B-Sänger, -Songschreiber und -Produzent.

Biografie
Obwohl er auch selbst einige Platten aufnahm, sind es vor allen Dingen seine Arbeiten für andere Künstler, die Ware bekannt machten: Von den späten 1960er Jahren bis in die 1990er Jahre schrieb er für viele bekannte Künstler Songs und hatte einige große Hits. Etliche davon entstanden für das Label Motown. Mit I Wanna Be Where You Are hatte zum Beispiel Michael Jackson 1972 einen Hit. Auch The Isley Brothers, The Four Tops oder The Miracles hatten Erfolg mit Wares Kompositionen.

1976 arbeitete er mit Marvin Gaye zusammen und produzierte sein erfolgreiches Album I Want You. Er war für dieses Album auch am Songwriting sämtlicher Songs beteiligt. Die Aufnahmen inspirierten Ware zu seinem kurze Zeit später veröffentlichten Album Musical Massage, das gute Kritiken erhielt und noch heute sein bekanntestes Werk ist. Ein großer kommerzieller Erfolg blieb dem zwischen Soul, Funk und Jazz pendelnden Album zwar versagt, dennoch wählte der Rolling Stone das Werk 2013 auf Platz 88 der "100 besten Soul-Alben".

Ware arbeitete auch mit Melissa Manchester zusammen, die mehrere seiner Songs aufnahm und ihn 1978 als Produzent für ihr erfolgreiches Album Don't Cry Out Loud verpflichtete. 1981 gelang ihr und Peabo Bryson mit dem von Ware geschriebenen Duett Lovers After All ein Top-40-Hit in den R&B-Charts. Ab 1979 hatte Ware in kurzer Zeit drei kleinere Hits in den R&B-Charts: What's Your Name war auf Platz 42 seine erfolgreichste Single. Durch zahllose Samples im Hip-Hop war Wares Name auch immer wieder in den Charts anzutreffen. So bedienten sich 2Pac und  K-Ci & JoJo bei Quincy Jones' Body Heat und machten daraus den amerikanischen Nummer-eins-Hit How Do U Want It (1996). Auch Nas, Maxwell, Gang Starr und De La Soul sampelten Wares Kompositionen.

Ware war viermal verheiratet, unter anderem für wenige Wochen mit der ehemaligen Supremes-Sängerin Susaye Green. Er starb im Februar 2017 im Alter von 77 Jahren.

Tutankhamun dagger was crafted from cosmic metal
Metallurgic analysis of the dagger found in the tomb of the legendary Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun has found that the iron from which it was made crashed into Earth thousands of years ago as a meteorite.
Tutankhamun only lived to the very young age of 18, but his legacy has left a huge impression on our understanding of ancient Egyptian culture and archaeology as a whole.
When his tomb was discovered by archaeologist Howard Carter in 1925, the world was fascinated to hear stories of the items found within it, including two daggers – one iron, one gold – which were wrapped around Tutankhamun.
Despite the obvious interest from a riches perspective of finding a golden dagger, archaeologists were more interested in the iron dagger, as the region was not known for its iron production, and were curious to know why the iron did not seem to rust.
Now, according to The Guardian, an international team of researchers has analysed the metallurgic make-up of the iron dagger using an x-ray fluorescence spectrometer and has found that it has a high nickel content, as well as cobalt.
Metallurgy refers to the study of the physical and chemical behaviour of metallic elements.

Pinpointed to one meteorite
Publishing their findings in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, they said they believe this is strong enough evidence to consider it as having originated from an ancient meteorite that crashed into Earth.
Even more accurately, the researchers were able to analyse meteorites found within a range of 2,000km from the coast of the Red Sea and were able to pinpoint one specific meteorite as having the same properties.
Dubbed Kharga, the meteorite crashed into the Earth around 240km outside of the port of Alexandria and, as something that had fallen from the sky, would have been treasured by the ancient Egyptians.
The research team wrote of the discovery: "The introduction of the new composite term suggests that the ancient Egyptians were aware that these rare chunks of iron fell from the sky already in the 13th [century] BCE, anticipating western culture by more than two millennia."
Interestingly, other objects found in the pharaoh's tomb may have connections with space too, as the analysis of a yellow gem undertaken in 2006 suggested that it was likely to have been made from sand turning into glass due to the extreme heat caused by a meteorite crashing into the Earth.

The door to the mind is open!
Two scientists, Michael and Karen Brace are developing a virtual reality system that sends sensory inputs into the brain and can record sights, sounds, feelings, and even dreams. The military attempts to take over the project when a senior worker begins to die of a heart attack and uses the system to tape the experience. They will do anything to get it.
"Brainstorm is a fascinating but frustrating film, simply because it dabbles in greatness but fails to develop the fullest implications of its provocative ideas. It's a visually dazzling film with outstanding special effects; directed by veteran effects creator Douglas Trumbull, of 2001 fame; but too caught up in marvels of hardware and software at the expense of its characters, who remain interesting but dramatically two-dimensional. The story involves the development of a headset recorder that can replay one person's experiences--even their emotional states--into the mind of another. The device obviously invites corporate or military exploitation, and Cliff Robertson plays a ruthless executive determined to tap into its lucrative potential. But when a scientist (Louise Fletcher) records her own death experience with the device, along with incriminating evidence, the technology's inventor (Christopher Walken) must unlock the mysteries of his colleague's suspicious demise and the very nature of death itself. Punctuated by remarkable sequences from the perspective of those who use the mind-expanding headset, Brainstorm dares to reach for ambitious themes and innovative movie experiences, and that alone makes it eminently worthwhile. But with a conclusion that too literally interprets the afterlife experience with conventional angelic imagery, and a disappointingly thin role for Natalie Wood (who died while the film was still in production), the film strives for profundity and settles instead for an inspirational light show."--Jeff Shannon
