That's the way to make your content bland, boring, indistinguishable from your competition and ultimately forgettable.
What is it about your business that makes it successful?
What makes you different from your competition?
What are the experiences that have shaped your perspective?
These are the things about you and your business that are unique. Understanding what they are, distilling them down and then amplifying them through text, imagery and video is what makes you stand out against your competition.
Remember that you're competing with people who aren't as good as you – who don't have your experience or intellectual advantage. Wannabes fill their content with hyperbole, with adverbs and adjectives to hide the fact that they have little substance.

Shooting experiences by Dickens
A set of 10 square magic lantern slides after a story of Charles Dickens made by York & Son.
1. Pulled up by a gate at the roadside 2. Sam Weller apprehends danger from mr Winkle
3. Mr. Pickwick in a barrow bringing up the rear 4. I know that gun of Tupman's is not safe
5. Like a couple of privates at a royal funeral 6. What's the matter with the dog's legs?
7. Mr. Winkle starts back as if he had been shot 8. Bravo, you fires that time at all events
9. It goes off of its own accord
10. Tupman - you singled out that particular bird
Skating experiences
A set of 18 square magic lantern slides after a story by Charles Dickens, made by the English manufacturer York & Son.
1. What say you to an hour on the ice?' 2. Old Wardle led the way to a large piece of ice 3. Mr Bob Sawyer describes circles with his left leg
4. Mr Winkle forcing a gimlet in the soles of his feet 5. Mr Winkle was raised to his feet 6. A frantic desire to throw his feet in the air
7. Mr Winkle stooping forward, his body doubled up 8. With a loud crash they both fell down 9. Sam assisted him to rise
10. 'You're an imposter, sir' 11. Away went the good-tempered fellow down the slide 12. Mr Pickwick went slowly down the slide
13. Mr Snodgrass and Winkle grasped each other's hand 14. Mr Tupman ran, screaming 'Fire' with all his might 15. Disclosed the features and spectacles of Mr Pickwick

18. Skimming over the ground without any defined purpose
A set of 19 square magic lantern slides based on the story of little Emily, as described in chapter 21 of Dickens' novel 'David Copperfield'.
As was fairly common at the time, the book initially had a much longer title: The Personal History, Adventures, Experience and Observation of David Copperfield the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery (which he never meant to be published on any account). Like most of Dickens's books, it first appeared in serial form, in this case in the period 1848–1850. Little Em'ly

6. Ham, I give you joy, my boy, my hand upon that 7. Presently they brought her to the fireside
Unfortunately slide #8 of this set is missing
8. They all stood crowded round the door 9. A little floundering across the sand
10. Sit ye down, sir, you're welcome, kind and hearty 11. Mr Peggotty thrust forth his face
12. In the midst of the silence of death I read 13. I'm a going to seek my niece
14. 'No, no,' cried Mrs Gummidge, 'not as you are' 15. As we struggled on nearer and nearer
16. 'What is the matter?' I cried 17. Then I saw him standing alone, a rope in his hand
18. They drew him to my feet -- insensible -- dead 19. I saw him laying with his head upon his arm

Cicero Papers
Marcel H. Van Herpen
"Putinism – The Slow Rise of a Radical Right Regime in Russia"
Palgrave Macmillan, 2013
In this original analysis of contemporary Russia, the author shows how Putin's regime is a completely new, right-wing political model that combines features of Mussolini's Italy with the 19th century Bonapartism of Napoleon III and 21st century populism of Berlusconi. An essential read.
"Putin's Wars – The Rise of Russia's New Imperialism" (second edition)
Rowman & Littlefield, 2015
This book offers the first systematic analysis of Putin's three wars, placing the Second Chechen War, the war with Georgia of 2008, and the war with Ukraine, in their broader historical context. Drawing on extensive original Russian sources, the author analyzes in detail how Putin's wars were prepared and conducted and why they led to allegations of war crimes and genocide. He shows how the conflicts functioned to consolidate and legitimate Putin's regime and explores how they were connected with a fourth, hidden "internal war" against the Russian population.
"Putin's Propaganda Machine – Soft Power and Russian Foreign Policy"
This book examines Russia's "information war." The author argues that the Kremlin's propaganda and "fake news" offensive is a carefully prepared strategy, implemented and tested over the last decade. The Russian propaganda machine quickly developed into one of the main instruments of Russia's new imperialism – not only in its "hybrid war" against Ukraine, but also in its attempts to influence elections and political processes in Western countries.
"Becoming Marx – How the Young Karl Marx Became a Marxist"
Cicero Foundation, 2016
Price: € 39 (postage and handling free of charge)
This book follows in detail the intellectual development of the young Marx. We are introduced in the theories of Schiller, Rousseau, Hegel, and Feuerbach that shaped his thinking and see how, from the beginning, Marx's objectives are deeply ethical. Marx's critique of human alienation and his critique of economic inequality will remain an enduring source of inspiration. The Dutch philosopher and official Thinker of the Fatherland (2011 – 2013) called the Dutch edition "an important book."
The book can be ordered at the Cicero Foundation. Send an email to info@cicerofoundation.org

Major league notebook: Yelich holds out hope for playoff return
Christian Yelich suffered a broken kneecap Tuesday night, but the Brewers have yet to rule him out if the team qualifies for the postseason.
MIAMI — The Milwaukee Brewers say there's no update yet on Christian Yelich's broken right kneecap.
Yelich was back in Milwaukee on Wednesday for further tests, a day after the reigning NL MVP was hurt when he fouled a ball off himself during a game in Miami.
"The hope is we can provide an update (Thursday)," Brewers Manager Craig Counsell said.
The team said after Tuesday night's 4-3 loss that the star outfielder would miss the rest of the regular season. They didn't say whether Yelich might be able to return for the playoffs that begin Oct. 1 if they make it that far. Milwaukee was one game behind the Chicago Cubs for the second NL wild-card spot entering Wednesday's games.
Yelich is hitting .329 with 44 home runs and 97 RBI along with 30 stolen bases. He leads the majors in slugging percentage and OPS.
Mike Moustakas celebrated his 31st birthday by returning to the lineup Wednesday and took Yelich's third spot in the batting order. Moustakas had been sidelined since Sept. 5 because of a sprained left wrist. He is hitting .260 with 31 homers and a .571 slugging percentage.
"Any time any member of your team gets hurt, especially with an injury that takes you out for the rest of the season, it's devastating," Moustakas said. "For it to happen to Yeli, obviously our best player and one of the best players in baseball, it's devastating. There are no other words to describe it."
"But on the other side of things, we have to figure out ways to make up for his production and that is obviously an incredible task for how great a competitor he is," he said.
METS: Manager Mickey Callaway says it is "likely" that Noah Syndergaard will pitch to catcher Wilson Ramos on Friday in his first start since Syndergaard's misgivings over Ramos' defense became public.
Callaway said Wednesday that Ramos would sit out Thursday afternoon in the series finale against Arizona, setting up New York's primary backstop to start Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The New York Post reported Monday that Syndergaard and his agents have lobbied to let the right-hander pitch to backups Tomás Nido or René Rivera.
Callaway says he plans to make lineups that are best for the team, and that means keeping the hot-hitting Ramos in the lineup as often as possible, including Friday.
"That's something that's a likely possibility," Callaway said.

George Palaganas I did not know there was an incorporation of Cindys as Cindys Corporation. I always thought the corporate name was Multiple Achievements Corporation . Anyway, this was the first issue of it ! But when I returned from Canada, there seems to be a merging between FEKIN Corporation(local suppliers of store equipments including CHEE-PUCK!) and Multiple Achievements Corporation, I just do not know what happened to this merging.
George Palaganas It's funny, most movie theaters on this road strip decided to have a perpetual showing of "SA ITAAS KO AY LANGIT NA!" It's a respite for holding ANGELES City as a notorious city for ALL STAR CASTs movies! And for those who "miss" them, blame it on YOUTUBE!

Enterprises realize on average only 43 percent of technology's business potential, according to a Gartner global survey of more than 2,000 chief information officers in 36 industries across 41 countries.
The research found that CIOs expect their 2013 budgets to be flat for a fifth straight year. Gartner predicts a 0.5 percent drop globally.
The research found that in the past 18 months, digital technologies, including mobile, analytics, big data, social, and cloud, have reached a tipping point with business executives. Analysts said there is no choice but to increase technology's potential in the enterprise, and this means evolving IT's strategies, priorities and plans beyond tending to the usual concerns.
CIOs see these technologies as significant disruptive forces during the next 10 years. When asked which digital technologies would be most disruptive, 70 percent said mobile technologies, 55 percent said big data/analytics, 54 percent said social media, and 51 percent said public cloud. Each of these can be disruptive on their own, but CIOs see their greatest disruptive power coming in combination, rather than in isolation, according to the research.
As needs and opportunities evolve, more CIOs are branching out into areas outside of traditional IT, assuming responsibility for finding new digital opportunities and harvesting value. Sixty-seven percent have significant leadership responsibilities outside of IT, with only 33 percent having no other responsibilities. This contrasts sharply with 2008, when almost half of CIOs had no responsibilities outside of IT. Almost a fifth of CIOs now act as their company's chief digital officer, leading digital commerce and channels.
"Digital technologies provide a platform to achieve results, but only if CIOs adopt new roles and behaviors to find digital value," said Mark McDonald, group vice president and Gartner Fellow, in a statement. "CIOs require a new agenda that incorporates hunting for new digital innovations and opportunities, and harvesting value from products, services, and operations."
Assuming these new roles will also help CIOs when it comes to securing additional funding, "Reacting to limited budgets by restructuring costs, outsourcing, and doing more with less made sense from 2002 to 2011, when the supply of innovative technologies was scarce," said Dave Aron, another vice president and Gartner fellow, in the statement. "Adapting to and leading in the digital world requires doing things differently, yet in ways consistent with the demands of digital technologies. CIOs need to make the case that mainstream emerging mobile, big data, social, and cloud technologies justify revisiting IT budget and investment levels."
Companies need to bridge the technology disconnect.

Little World () is a 2013 Catalan documentary film about Albert Casals, a young man who has been in a wheelchair since suffering leukemia at the age of five. But this has not stopped him from pursuing his dream: to travel around the world, and to do it his way: without money, without companions, without luggage. He sets off from home armed with nothing but his imagination and his courage.

Little World takes us along on his greatest challenge yet: to reach the exact opposite side of the planet. Is it possible to cross the earth in these conditions? Mixing home video techniques and traditional documentary methods, we get to know this young man, his love story, his philosophy of life and his parents' approach to raising him. We will see how Albert and his girlfriend, Anna, go from Barcelona to a remote lighthouse in New Zealand, or how they fail in the attempt. The journey (and the film) can be considered sheer madness, an endearing romance or an epic adventure, or perhaps a little of everything.

The director of the film is Marcel Barrena and is produced by Umbilical Produccions with TV3, TVE, ICAA, ICEC, and Corte y Confección de Películas.

Awards and reviews
Little World has won on IDFA from Amsterdam (DOC U Award), one of the most prestigious documentary festival, where also got the third place on the audience award among 300 films participating. Little World has invited to the Palm Springs Fest from L.A. for three private screenings out of competition and, at the moment, has been selected in 17 international film festivals.
Best Documentary: Boulder Film Festival (USA)
IDFA 2012: DocU Award; 3rd Audience Award.

I'm my own worst enemy. I get so caught down in the drudgery aspect of day-to-day I stop seeing and feeling the magic & mystery around me. When I wake myself up to it, it's truly miraculous. Living in the inner city of Sydney (& elsewhere, of course I know) it's ever-present, varied & plentiful. There are the fairies, and many personas adopted by my fellow residents, and you have to love them for the colour and character they bestow. After one particularly grim post-holiday return and reminding myself to open my senses, I even saw Elvis, yes the Elvis, buying out the entire stock of Kraft cheese at my corner shop. So now you know it, Elvis is fit (if still a little chubby) & well and living in the inner city Sydney village of Darlington, NSW, Australia. I see gemstone sunrises & sunsets, rainbows, and clouds trying on more earthly forms of garb. I don't have to go to a gallery to indulge in great art, it's on the streets & walls around me. And to remind me of my blessings, neighbourhood cats present themselves just at the right time for pats.

2017 Newsletter Article 2, Zika virus and drug discovery: a classroom-based bioinformatics research project and general method for repurposing existing drugs
Sandra Porter, Austin Community College and Digital World Biology LLC, Seattle, WA
The most engaging student research projects combine relevant topics with the opportunity to develop and practice skills that can be applied outside of class. Cases of emerging viruses and outbreaks of infectious agents capture student attention. The Zika virus outbreak has been devastating to young families in Latin America and the Caribbean. Pictures of affected babies with unusually small heads and severe birth defects have alarmed people throughout the western hemisphere. Although few cases of Zika virus infection have been reported in the United States, the mosquito that carries Zika virus, Aedes aegypti, is endemic in the Southern U.S., and could transmit Zika virus in states like Florida, and Texas. In this project, students use the bioinformatics and molecular modeling skills they're learning in class to identify drugs that might be able to treat people infected by Zika virus.
2017 Newsletter Article3, Video Vignettes for Organic Chemistry: Morphing of assignments over three years
Layne Morsch, University of Illinois, Springfield
When we, as faculty, decide to incorporate a new learning activity or assignment into our courses, we should be prepared to engage in an iterative process of modifications. Ideally, each iteration brings us closer to a design that will have the greatest impact on student learning, or at least helps us identify design elements that should be avoided. In this paper, I describe a series of modifications extending over a three-year timeframe, from idea generation to refined implementation as I explored implementation of student authored video vignettes in undergraduate second-year organic chemistry courses.
2017 Newsletter Article 4, Textbooks and the SI Base Units. A Challenge for Authors and Editors.
Peter F. Rusch
The vast number of chemistry textbooks and their many revisions provide opportunity for advancing the fundamentals of chemistry. Among those fundamentals are the SI (Système International) Base Units for: time; length; mass; thermodynamic temperature; electrical current; intensity of light; and amount of substance. All of these are significant in the practice of chemistry.
Presently, an international effort is underway to redefine each of the SI Base Units. Led by the International Committee on Weights and measures (CIPM), there is a growing consensus on the new definitions with the prospect of their formal adoption by the next General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 2018. Originally, the SI Base units were based on physical observations of terrestrial phenomenon to which anybody could relate. The revised definitions are all based on physical constants considered to be invariants of nature.
How these new definitions will be represented in chemistry textbooks is an open question with few authors and editors aware of the forthcoming changes.

The LibreTexts project is a multi-institutional collaborative venture to develop the next generation of open-access texts to improve postsecondary education at all levels of higher learning by developing an Open Access Resource environment. The project currently consists of 12 independently operating and interconnected libraries that are constantly being optimized by students, faculty, and outside experts to supplant conventional paper-based books. These free textbook alternatives are organized within a central environment that is both vertically (from advance to basic level) and horizontally (across different fields) integrated. The development approach is highly collaborative and grows via the efforts of a growing community, which has been particularly active in the recently years. We present this progress via 15 testimonials of Libretexts adopters and developers. The project is empowered by Mindtouch's cloud-delivered web platform.
Experimenting With Hypothesis
Robert E. Belford
During the Spring 2017 Cheminformatics OLCC I decided to try the hypothes.is (h.) social annotation service, https://hypothes.is/. This was a true learn-to-swim by jumping in the water type of experience and this paper will briefly describe h., and how my use of it evolved as the class proceeded. In fact, by the end of the semester, my students were aggregating at the bottom of each module of our eTextbook a folksonomy of annotated content from across the web that I could use to target and develop my in-class lesson preparation.
To give you an idea as to the power of h., I suggest you click this link, https://goo.gl/T1UDqW, which takes you across the web to a Journal of Cheminformatics Open Access article on the Blue Obelisk, and scrolls down to a section on ODOSOS (Open Data, Open Source, Open Standards). This annotation was of a "mock assignment" that I could share with anyone, including non-chemists, which included an embedded YouTube video by the late Jean-Claude Bradley on Cheminformatics and Open Notebook Science.
This paper will start with an introduction to the Cheminformatics OLCC, with links to YouTubes for those who are interested in more information. Then there is a quick introduction to the Hypothes.is (h.) social annotation service, followed by a description of the use of this service by a cohort of the 2017 Cheminformatics OLCC students at the University of Arkansas Little Rock. The two embedded YouTube videos in part 3 of this paper give a good overview of our experience with the use of Hypothes.is in this class.


The state government's push to get industry to skill local youth looks like is bearing fruit. Deccan Fine Chemicals, one of the leading players in pharmaceuticals, animal health and agrochemicals, recently announced a skill development program in their Corlim plant for Goan youth.
The 12-month duration program is expected to generate employment and impart skill based training through classroom as well on the job training session. It is for science graduates and ITI pass-outs who wish to be taught skills and earn as they learn.
Yogesh Arora, head, human resources and CSR, explains "We face a shortage of readily available skilled labour despite vacancies in our company. Currently there are no diploma courses or ITI courses with chemical trade available in the state. As many of our employed staff is nearing retirement, we will need new staff to take up their responsibility. Trained candidates can be accommodated during the summer vacancies." He adds that, students with BSC in chemistry and ITI with relevant technical trades can apply for the program.
According to Arora, the programme curriculum will revolve around learning about distribution control system, understanding general plant operation, operating systems and procedures, chemical handling, health, safety and environment quality management system. The program will be 25 percent of classroom learning and 75 per cent of practical training. With the company operating at high level o0f automation and safety standards, candidates will be imparted technical knowledge to operate the automated machinery. The course will focus on manufacturing operations at site.
Candidates who get selected for the skilling programme stand a chance for future employment. "Trainees will be assessed on regular basis after every three months and based on their performance in the training and ability to grasp the subject they will be provided an opportunity to work with us depending on the vacancies available," says Arora. On completion of the program, successful trainees will be offered the role of operations executives at the site. ""We have three manufacturing sites in Goa, Hyderabad and Gujarat. If we don't have vacancies at our plants these trainees can be easily employed in other chemical companies due to advanced level of training given to them." says Arora.
On the payment front, the stipend is really attractive. Candidates during the skill development program will be offered Rs 13,000 per month for ITI students and Rs 16, 000 per month for BSc graduates.
Deccan Fine Chemicals, is the second large company in Goa to announce a skill development programme, in recent months. Lack of skills among local youth is often cited as a reason for their not getting jobs. To address the problem the department of labour and employment said that it would ask industries in the state to start skilling courses.
Candidates who apply for the program have to be registered under the employment exchange. About 80 application have been received till date since the program was announced earlier this month. Only 15 trainees will finally be selected for the program. The selection process to shortlist the candidates will be based on their SSC performance, knowledge of the curriculum studied as well as safety and quality consciousness. The last date for receiving application for the program is January 15 and candidates can apply through email on smw.recruitment@deccanchemicals.com. With limited seats available, the selection process looks tough but it offers a world of opportunity to the deserving candidate. As more and more industries launch skill development programmes several Goan youth will hopefully get a chance to upgrade themselves.

Some of the cards are definitely worth a few bucks, some a few cents — but every story told here is priceless. Sportsnet's Ken Reid presents the cards you loved and the airbrushed monstrosities that made you howl, the cards that have been packed away in boxes forever, and others you can't believe ever existed. Whether it's a case of mistaken identity or simply a great old photo, a fantastic 1970s haircut and 'stache, a wicked awesome goalie mask or a future Hall of Famer's off-season fashion sense, a wide variety of players — from superstars like Bobby Orr, Denis Potvin, and Phil Esposito to the likes of Bill Armstrong who played only one game in the NHL — chime in on one of their most famous cards.

The charity Cats Protection has launched its 'Purrfect Landlords' campaign in an attempt to get more private sector landlords to accept cats in their rental properties.
Research has shown that currently, less than half of private rented housing allows tenants to keep cats.
The charity has said that issues over finding cat-friendly housing are among the top five reasons for cats being handed in to its adoption centres.
The 'Purrfect landlords' campaign has been launched to offer free guidance to landlords and letting agents when drawing-up tenancy agreements.
Jacqui Cuff, from Cats Protection, said: 'More and more people are renting their homes either by choice or necessity, yet very few rented properties accept cats.
'This means tenants are missing out on being able to own a cat, while landlords may be losing out on attracting responsible and settled tenants. We hear from renters who tell us most adverts state 'no pets'.
She continued: 'Often the reason for not allowing cats is simply habit, with a third of UK landlords who don't accept cats saying they didn't proactively choose to ban them, but instead followed a standard template or advice from a letting agent.
A new website has been launched by the charity, at cats.org.uk/purrfectlandlords, which features guidance for landlords and tenants.
It includes free, downloadable legal wording for landlords and letting agents to add to their tenancy agreements.
The charity also offers financial support towards the cost of neutering cats for owners on a low income.
Cats Protection has already spoken to many private and social landlords about the Purrfect Landlords campaign and last week won the Best Property Education Provider award at the National Landlord Investment Show Awards 2018.

Late last year the Queensland Government introduced the Tackling Alcohol-fuelled Violence Legislation Amendment Bill 2015 in a bid to make the state safer. The Bill outlined measures including a state-wide call for last drinks at 2am with Safe Night Precinct boards granted the option of applying for an extended 3am last drinks model, conditional on a 1am lockout. This week United Voice joined the Queensland Nurses Union in presenting our support for the Bill at a public hearing which sought to gauge public comments to help determine if the Bill would meet community needs. Paramedic Torrin Nelson did a fantastic job of presenting far too familiar firsthand accounts of assaults on ambulance officers suffered due to alcohol-fuelled violence.
The Committee report of recommendations is due to Parliament by 8 February 2016.

All Antisemitic incidents Desecration Germany
Germany - Opponents of vaccines hung antisemitic slogans on memorial for the former Jewish cemetery in Dortmund
Westpark, Dortmund - The tapes that were used to attach the cling film were still hanging on the fence in front of the memorial stone for the former Jewish cemetery at the northeast exit of the West Park on Tuesday afternoon. The two cardboard signs with the antisemitic slogans on them have disappeared.
With regard to the Corona measures, it said "Infection Protection Act = Enabling Act. Fascism through the back door! 2G. So don't pretend to commemorate us here!" and "Don't bother, because we [note. d. Red.: A Jewish star is inserted behind it] know what you are doing!"

Lazy Horror Film THE LAZARUS EFFECT Will Hopefully Mark the End of the Whole "Playing God" Trope
I hate to say I told you so, but...THE LAZARUS EFFECT is exactly what I feared it would be--from its quasi-serious/bogus dialogue to the played out notion that we mere mortals can bring back loved ones from the dead and they'll be exactly the way they were before they died (seriously, when will we learn that that doesn't work?). But I'm pretty sure right now someone somewhere is feverishly typing up a compelling think piece about playing god and the question of life after death, but all the intelligent discussions in the world won't mask the real problem here: this is just a bad movie.
And you know what's the most frustrating part about that? It never really even tries. From its opening moments featuring a team of scientists (Olivia Wilde, Mark Duplass, Evan Peters, Donald Glover) on the cusp of an experiment that "will help healthcare professionals everywhere," THE LAZARUS EFFECT merely coasts by on a very thin script that is really just a placeholder to get to what is obviously its larger purpose: to frighten the audience so much that we forget that we're watching a bad movie. But, guys, I never forgot (and also, it wasn't that scary).
First of all, that mumble jumble at the beginning of the film, vaguely describing what the scientists are studying and why, will likely whirl right past most audiences because 1) it doesn't make much sense and 2) the actors are so casual about this dialogue that you don't really take anything they're saying seriously. On the one hand you've got scientists and love interests Zoe and Frank (Wilde and Duplass) laughing so hard on camera, barely able to get the words out about their study. (You see, they are being videotaped at the time and apparently are a bit awkward on camera). And on the other hand, you've got fellow scientist Clay (Peters) smoking in the lab, dancing to old records and trying to flee from a rabid dog they brought back to life (which should be their first clue that whatever experiments they're working on are not going as planned). Like, these are real scientists who think they're about to unleash some genius onto the world. Meanwhile, their resident camerawoman (Sarah Bolger) is apparently more video-inclined, yet is able to somehow put together a lethal dosage in a syringe later in the film. *eyeroll*
So anyway, as indicated in the trailer, s**t hits the fan in the lab and Zoe ends up dead. Distraught, Frank brings Zoe back from the dead and--surprise!--she comes back in full Pet Sematary form, the very embodiment of evil (complete with levitation, telepathy and homicidal rage). To make matters even more ridiculous, there's a whole new layer clumsily tacked on to the third act of the film that makes no sense at all, and gets so far away from the story's original point that you don't even know what you're watching anymore. If it isn't for the few jumps and unintentional laughs, the entire last 30 minutes would be a complete and utter waste of time.
What's most surprising is that this film is directed by David Gelb, the same guy who did the critically-acclaimed Jiro Dreams of Sushi, and co-written by Luke Dawson who penned the decent American horror remake, Shutter. So what happened here??
Needless to say, I'm not a fan of THE LAZARUS EFFECT. And the more I think of it, the less remarkable it gets. So I'm just going to stop here.
Rating: D+ (** out of *****)
THE LAZARUS EFFECT is now playing.

Hardly surprising to be honest. I'm more confused by the talent attached in such a paint by the number film.
Yeah, this looked awful. I hate films that are so lazy, and apparently so. Like, take pride in the crap you're making and actually...TRY!

Q: Appcelerator - Multiple map views in android I'm trying to add a map to a second view in the hierarchy of heavyweight windows in my application for android.  This however, is not supported by the android platform, so there has to be some way to add and remove the map to the view as you move back and forth between the windows.
I got it to the point where I can remove the first instance of a map view when moving to child windows, but when I try to navigate back, I can't get the map view to be added back into the parent view.
Below is code that I use to attempt to add the map view back to the view I have created when going back to the parent, but the view doesn't appear.
I've tried reusing the already made instance of the map view, as well as creating a new instance of the map view as the parent view comes into focus.
Anyone have any ideas?
win.addEventListener('focus', function(e)
    {
        mapView.add(map);
    });

A: I experimented with the same thing in my app (http://bit.ly/u2qmbV) and ended up creating  a new map on every 'open' event and ensuring each window closed on each 'blur' event.  I never could get it to work using focus / blur.  I was lucky as I never had to open a new 'map' window from a window that had a map on it.  The only 'hack' I had to use was closing a window in a tab on every 'blur' event for that window so every time you tapped on the tab, it opened again (the Facilities tab / window in the app)

Location: Scrayingham, Ryedale, North Yorkshire, YO41
District: Ryedale
Town: Ryedale
Civil Parish: Scrayingham
Traditional County: Yorkshire
Lieutenancy Area (Ceremonial County): North Yorkshire
Church of England Parish: Scrayingham St Peter and St Paul
Church of England Diocese: York
Tagged with: Church building
Parish church with early Anglo-Saxon origins, surviving later Anglo-Saxon features, Norman and C14 fabric, restored and partially rebuilt in 1853 by G.T. Andrews.
Church, C7-C8, Later Anglo Saxon, Norman, C14 and 1853, partially rebuilt by G T Andrews in Decorated style.
MATERIALS: gritstone, some re-used, and ashlar Magnesian limestone, a timber porch and grey slate roofs.
PLAN: the church has a nave with a south aisle and a south porch, a chancel and a north-east vestry, with a bell-cote at the west gable end of the nave, aligned east-west. While the existing building shares its north wall with the Anglo-Saxon church and its east wall with the C14 church the full extent of these earlier buildings is not clear.
EXTERIOR: the south side of the chancel is in coursed limestone, rebuilt in 1853 but with re-used medieval material including some carved stones and resting on a low plinth of earlier date that includes the footings of an entrance. A central pointed arch timber door has a hoodmould and there is a two-light window to each side with tracery and hoodmould. The east end is medieval in its lower part, C19 above, and has a diagonal buttress to the south-east and an angle buttress to the north-east. The east window is a three-light window with quatrefoil tracery. The north side of the chancel has an attached vestry from 1853 with a pent roof. It has a trefoil window to the east, a lancet window to the west and a shouldered arch doorway to the north, with a stone chimney stack rising from the south-west corner. The north chancel wall is windowless and built in part in coarse gritstone blocks with a discontinuity of construction visible in the upper part.
The north wall of the nave is mainly coursed gritstone, medieval or earlier and has two stepped buttresses. A blocked doorway towards the west end with a foliate capital supporting a pointed arch is C14 in date. A single lancet window of 1853 is towards the east end. There are two blocked windows, both small with semi-circular heads cut from three trapezoidal blocks, of Pre-Conquest date. At the eastern end of the nave is the scar of an old roof line descending from a socket near the top of the north-eastern quoin. The west end of the nave is constructed of coursed gritstone, possibly rebuilt in its upper courses, and has a stepped buttress between the nave and the south aisle. Both the nave wall and the aisle wall have a tall lancet window with trefoil tracery dating to 1853. At the apex is a bell-cote with two bells, one medieval. There is a diagonal buttress at the south-west corner. The south wall of the south aisle, rebuilt in limestone in 1853 reusing earlier material, also has a diagonal buttress at the south-east corner. It has three geometrical traceried windows and an open porch in stone and timber with a pitched roof leading to a pointed arch doorway.
INTERIOR: the chancel has a doorway and two windows to the south. A lancet window and the three-light east window are attributed to Clayton and Bell. The roof trusses are scissor-braced, with painted decoration on the underside of some of the trusses. On the north wall is a memorial plaque of 1638, of which most of the surround is missing. The nave has modified queen strut roof trusses, with the struts angled outwards from a centre point to join an upper tie beam at purlin level, and additional braces. The nave is separated from the south aisle by a row of four columns supporting pointed arch openings; the capitals of the columns have stencil decoration of stars, leaves, flowers and fleurs de lis. There are wooden bench pews, a stone font at the west end and a hexagonal lectern by the north wall adjacent to the chancel. A coloured glass screen divides the nave and chancel above the springing of the chancel arch which has foliate decoration on the capitals. The west and north lancet windows of the nave and the eastern south aisle window have stained glass by Clayton and Bell, and there is a further window by Kempe. A very large brass chandelier, commissioned and designed by J L Pearson and originally in Bishop Wilton Church, hangs in the nave. A vestry on the north side of the chancel, dating to 1853, has a number of carved stone fragments built into the north wall. These include corbel heads and foliate crosses from coffin lids, and a fragment of Romanesque carving.
SUBSIDIARY ITEMS: a low marble tomb at the south-west corner outside the church contains the remains of George Hudson, the 'railway king' (1800-1871) among other members of his family.
There is evidence in the fabric of the church that it has its origins in the Pre-Conquest period, possibly early Saxon (C7-C8), and some of the stones appear to be re-used Roman material. Two blocked windows in the north wall may be late Saxon in origin. There are records of Rectors of the church back to 1208, and medieval fabric survives in parts. The north door is of C14 date. Until the mid C19, the nave was narrower than at present.
In the mid C19 the architect G T Andrews was engaged to restore and enlarge the church, and this work was completed in 1853. The south wall was rebuilt, adding an aisle to the nave, a vestry was built to the north-east, a bell-cote added to the west end gable and new openings made for most of the windows. G T Andrews was a notable railway architect who worked extensively on railway buildings for the Great North Eastern Railway, including the Old Station at York (listed Grade II*). His connection with Scrayingham is strengthened by his association with George Hudson, the 'railway king', who is buried in the churchyard immediately outside the south porch.
Reasons for Listing
The Church of St Peter and St Paul is listed at Grade II* for the following principal reasons:
* Date: the church contains considerable amounts of medieval and earlier fabric, including features that are identifiable as Pre-Conquest and possible dating to as early as the C7-C8, and certainly to the later Anglo-Saxon period;
* Architecture: the restoration of the church in 1853 by G.T Andrews, which added a south aisle, bell-cote and windows in Decorated style, was sensitive to the earlier form of the church and preserved much of its character as the parish church of a rural community. Andrews is acknowledged as 'the railway architect', having designed the Old Station at York among others;
* Fixtures and fittings: a large and ornate brass chandelier, stencilled columns and good quality stained glass by Kempe and Clayton & Bell add to the special interest of the interior.

Music in Concert January/February 2010
"The Blue Rider", a painting by Vasily Kandinsky, gave its name to a group of German and Russian painters, composers, and writers who published a short-lived almanac. The collective dissolved when its members fled Germany at the onset of World War I. Fast forward to "The Blue Rider in Performance", an inventive multimedia evening of their works that opened the season at Columbia University's Miller Theater.
Pianist Sarah Rothenberg's concept—realized in conjunction with a sumptuous Kandinsky retrospective at New York's Guggenheim Museum—added projections of his art plus choreography by Karole Armitage to seldomheard piano pieces from the Second Viennese School (some with soprano) and Schoenberg's Quartet No. 2. The music, often regarded as demanding, became a repeat-performance hit, with separate-day panel discussion and buzzing intelligentsia.
Blue Rider musical works and Kandinsky's paintings barely predate the twin implosions that changed cultural history: Schoenberg's 1912 Pierrot Lunaire (music with poetry) and Stravinsky's 1913 Rite of Spring ballet score (music with dance). Kandinsky, a Russian expatriate, was struggling to achieve emotional expression beyond traditional forms. An all- Schoenberg concert—including the 1909 quartet, which strains against tonality—propelled the artist outside the roped-off shallows of traditionalism, toward the riot of colors and shapes that would express his ideas and passions from then on.
Blue Rider artists viewed abstraction as a goal to be achieved by shedding, rearranging, and stretching existing systems. From a century's distance, Schoenberg now appears to have spent as much time pushing boundaries from the inside as working outside them in serial mode. Nothing sounded harsh in the Blue Rider pieces, whose voluptuous non-tonal style probed the outer edge of romanticism. "How can this music be so old?" one wonders. Or, "How can it still be so new?"
Two of the quartet's four movements had lines for soprano, sung with creamy ease by Susan Narucki, who excels in this fach. The other two movements were danced by two mixed couples in tunics and ankle socks, from Armitage Gone! Dance. (Unfortunate publicity described the music as "brought to life" by dance. That statement in fact raises questions about whether any visuals—apart from enticing the art crowd to the box office—increase the music's intrinsic value. Schoenberg, himself a gifted painter, preferred his music unenhanced.)
During the haunting, acute performance by the Brentano Quartet, handwritten texts, Kandinsky line drawings, splotches of his colors, and mountainous masses floated and grew on a ceiling and two walls that met upstage above the performers, creating a triangular shell.
The first half with piano and some luxuriant poetry consisted of moody early works by Thomas de Hartmann, Arthur Lourie, Schoenberg, Scriabin, Webern, and Berg. Speaking about Berg, Michael Tilson Thomas has said, "There is always a moment that—even on first hearing, even to the unsophisticated listener— is so radiantly beautiful that you think, 'I must hear that again'. Why would someone who could write as beautifully as this write other music that is so challenging? Eventually you discover that it's all the same—these lyrical, melting moments are just another way of looking at the basic situation." His comments also illuminate the works on this program.

Recently, I read a post by a lady blogger who posed some questions about money that really switched my perspective about whether I spend mine on what matters to me. Here are a couple examples: What if you cut your Starbucks addiction and hired a house cleaner instead? Or what if you ditched your mani/pedi routine and put that money toward traveling to your favorite city on your bucket list?
A lot of people try to sell us one-size-fits-all approaches to saving money, but we are all different. We all value different things. The first step to finding financial freedom is to know what you truly care about. I've got to admit, that house cleaner idea seems like a pretty good deal to me.
Let's take a moment to talk asset management. Typically, that means managers or banks manage investments on behalf of others. And when it comes to this financial-focused industry—surprise, surprise—women aren't earning our share of the top jobs. According to investment research firm Morningstar, women run only 2 percent of management assets in the United States.
That's pretty pitiful, especially considering how the rest of the world compares, with women being named fund managers at a much higher rate—as much as 20 percent—in places like Hong Kong, Spain and Israel.
If you're just starting out in your career, words like "asset management" and "investments" can sound crazy daunting. That's why it's good to do your research, and it doesn't hurt to have a woman on your side who knows a thing or two about bringing home the bacon.
Rosa McCormick is one such woman, and acts as the managing director of Wild Basin Investments, an investment firm focused on early stage equity. Rosa is nothing if not financially savvy, and has been a commanding force in the investing biz since 2004. And her expert knowledge of the finance world reaches beyond her clients, as Rosa often shares her expertise about early stage funding at speaking events the world over.
Her dedication to investments and money management was a factor in Rosa being selected as a Kauffman Fellow. The two-year program required her to work full time at an investment firm while also receiving coaching and mentoring, networking and, of course, delving even deeper into learning how to be an emerging leader in the industry. Following Rosa's graduation from the program, she's now giving back by mentoring another female fellow in the program.
If you're thinking about becoming an investor or just want to know what the heck shows like Shark Tank are always going on about, here's some useful knowledge from Rosa about angel investing: There are more angel investors—successful individuals who provide capital for business startups—than ever, even though this type of funding can be time-consuming and risky. After all, investing is never a sure thing. But here's something you might not know. Rosa says being an angel investor can be really fun. Startup investing is exciting and interesting, she notes, and a great way to meet talented, motivated entrepreneurs and investors who are working hard to make a real impact.

Another year, another step toward ditching the WEP?
By Nicole Ogrysko @nogryskoWFED
Occasionally, I'll get an email or a question from a federal retiree about the Windfall Elimination Provision.
The WEP is so complex, but the questions surrounding it are usually the same. What's the status of legislation to ditch it, or at least bring some relief to the 3% of Social Security beneficiaries who have to deal with it?


We all know what anxiety feels like. Your heart pounds before a big presentation or a tough exam. You get butterflies in your stomach during a blind date. You worry and fret over family problems or feel jittery at the prospect of asking the boss for a raise. These are all natural reactions.
However, if worries, fears, or anxiety attacks seem overwhelming and are preventing you from living your life the way you'd like to, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Fortunately, many anxiety treatments and self-help strategies can help you reduce your anxiety symptoms, control anxiety attacks, and take back control of your life.
Feeling down from time to time is a normal part of life. But when emptiness and despair take hold and won't go away, it may be depression. More than just the temporary "blues," the lows of depression make it tough to function and enjoy life.
Depression can make you feel helpless, hopeless, or empty and numb; but there's a lot you can do to change how you feel. With help and support, you can overcome depression and get your life back.
The key to recovery is to start small and take things one day at a time. Feeling better takes time, but you can get there if you make positive choices for yourself each day and draw on the support of others.


On May 23, 2018, the U.S. Senate passed a comprehensive bill called the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks Act of 2018 or the VA MISSION Act of 2018 (H.R. 5674), which authorizes the use of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provider agreements for "extended care" providers, including nursing facilities among others. The act, which the U.S. House of Representatives recently approved, also covers hospital care and medical service providers. President Trump is expected to sign the legislation into law.
This legislation would remove from authorized provider agreements certain obligations that previously dissuaded many long-term care providers from entering into contracts with the VA. While participation in Medicare and Medicaid (which are considered grants) does not make participating providers federal contractors, other types of contracts can subject providers to many onerous obligations, such as the preparation of affirmative action programs, the federal contractor minimum wage requirement (which is much higher than the Fair Labor Standards Act's minimum wage requirement), and compliance with several executive orders signed by former president Obama that imposed legal obligations on federal contractors, such as paid sick leave. Participation in a VA contract also currently subjects the provider to the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act, which requires compliance with costly prevailing wage and benefit packages for employees providing services to veterans in covered facilities.
Long-term care providers are obviously excited about this legislation, but according to VA staff, providers would have to wait at least a year so that the VA could implement regulations and make the new provider agreements available. The legislation itself states that the effective date of the legislation would be the later of "(1) the date that is 30 days after the date on which the Secretary of Veterans Affairs submits the report required under section 101(q)(2) of the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 . . . or (2) the date on which the Secretary promulgates regulations pursuant to subsection (c)," which requires that those regulations be issued not later than one year after the enactment of the Act. It appears that the second effective date would likely be the one that would apply.

Rangers chief executive Charles Green claims "more than two" Scottish Premier League clubs have used employee benefits trusts.
is the subject of an SPL investigation into payments to players.
Green would "rather not say" which other clubs he was aware of that had used EBTs, but added: "I have put my hand up and they should do the same."
The SPL will on Tuesday have an initial meeting of the commission to investigate the club's alleged use of dual contracts during the period EBTs were operated by the company that formerly ran Rangers.
The league has more than a dozen sanctions, including stripping Rangers of league titles, at its disposal should it be decided that the club broke rules about side payments.
SPL said in June Rangers had "a prima facie case to answer in respect of [league] rules"
However, no-one from Rangers will attend the meeting, with Green insisting on Monday that "neither the SPL, nor its commission, has any legal power or authority over the club because it is not in the SPL".
And, speaking to BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, Green contended: "There is no-one to stand in front of them, this should have been done when the SPL had jurisdiction, and they didn't do it.
"You are allowed to have an EBT, you have to disclose it, and of course there is a whole raft of information that when these EBTs were being used they were disclosed.
"They were in the accounts, it's public knowledge, Rangers were a public company, you can go on the internet and see the disclosures."
Rangers, who were relaunched by Green's consortium after the former incarnation could not be saved from liquidation, were placed in the Scottish Third Division after Green's bid to take over the SPL share previously owned by the club was rejected.
And Green has suggested the Ibrox side may not seek re-entry to the top flight, should they be successful in progressing to and winning the First Division.
"Unless the SPL welcome us with open arms why would we go back there," he added.
"Ten clubs voted Rangers out of that league, what makes you think they would want Rangers back in.
"It begs the question will the league still be there in three years' time."

When are you considered a Belgian Tax Resident ?
Before we can advise clients on their global tax situation, it is essential to understand where they are tax resident. Tax residence is the country where you are legally required to pay taxes, often on your worldwide income. It is not because you physically live in a country that you are considered a tax resident there and vice versa. The two are connected but are not necessarily the same.
Tax residence is determined under the domestic tax laws of each jurisdiction. Every country has their own set of rules that stipulate if you are required to pay taxes there. Some countries apply the '183 day-rule', while others look at your center of vital interests instead. These rules are separate from the ones required to obtain a residence permit. If it is your goal to become a tax resident of another country than the one you are living in now, you need to understand the basic rules of both countries. Some clients want to be considered a Belgian tax resident, while others prefer to avoid exactly that.
Since every country applies their own rules, there can be situations where a person qualifies as a tax resident of more than one jurisdiction. This is where the double taxation agreement (DTA) becomes relevant. The DTA will prevent double taxation by ultimately allowing only one country to tax your earnings and allowing you a tax exemption (or tax credit) in the other.
Legal presumption
The Belgian Tax Code defines a Tax Resident as 'any private individual who has established either their residence or seat of wealth in Belgium'. It is further stipulated that whether your residence or seat of wealth is established in Belgium, is assessed based on the factual circumstances.
Unless demonstrated otherwise, private individuals that are registered in the National Register of Belgium, are deemed to have established their residence or seat of wealth in Belgium. If you register at the city or town hall in Belgium for immigration purposes, you will automatically trigger a legal presumption that you have established your tax residency in Belgium as well.
Therefore, the fact you must register at the local town or city hall upon arrival is only an immigration requirement, but obviously one with an important tax consequence.
Factual appreciation
In absence of such registration, tax residence is based on the general principles governing the determination of resident or non-resident status, in particular whether or not the tax residence or seat of wealth is located in Belgium.
Belgian Tax Residence has been defined as a 'special and de facto residence, which can be independent from the civil domicile and nationality, which is established, confirmed and consolidated by a set of facts and circumstances'. It can also be described as 'an actual place of residence which is necessarily characterized by a certain degree of permanence or continuity'.
More or less than 183 days?
In other words, Belgium does not apply the '183 day-rule' to determine whether you are a Belgian Tax Resident but does require a certain degree of permanence. In practice, the tax authorities always refer to the date of initial registration in our National Register. You will only be considered a tax resident in Belgium from that day onwards, even if you would spend more than 183 days that year in Belgium. This approach is quite different than in most other countries.
It rarely happens that somebody is suddenly considered a tax resident without having registered before at the local town or city hall. It would not even practically be possible to file a Resident Tax Return without a Belgian national registration number. The authorities will simply not be able to issue a resident tax form in that case.
The seat of wealth, on the other hand, is the 'place where one's financial assets are administered, which is evidently characterized by a certain degree of permanence'. Furthermore, 'the place of the taxpayer's assets does not mean the place where the assets themselves are located, but the place where the owner, who manages or supervises them, has the center of their interests or affairs'.
'Tax residence' and 'seat of wealth' are two alternative criteria for determining tax residency. Each can therefore be used independently from one another as a criterion.
Marriage or legal cohabitation
For married couples, the general rule is that their status of resident/non-resident should be assessed jointly for both partners together. They are either both residents or both non-residents depending on whether their tax residence is in Belgium or not. This does not mean that partners can de facto live separated and therefore still have a different tax status.
The place where the household is established normally determines the place of tax residence. The latter is defined in Belgium as the place where a person permanently resides, where his family is, and where he maintains vital relations with other people. It primarily refers to the place where an individual effectively and permanently resides, in other words, where he lives and works.
Impact of working or residing abroad
With an increased global mobility, it has become quite common to pursue a professional career in a different country than the one where the family is located or where the taxpayer normally resides. In this case, the various constitutive components of tax residence must be considered, obviously giving more importance to the center of vital relations than to the place of residence and professional activity.
The decisive element in most cases is where the dwelling of the close family or household of the taxpayer is located. Where one 'usually' physically resides can sometimes provide a sufficient criterion to determine whether a person is a tax resident of Belgium, but to properly assess this, it is in most cases more complex than just considering someone's time spent abroad.
Greater importance will usually be given to somebody's center of family interests in a country, to the extent that factual residence and professional activities in another country are less permanent.
Deregister from Belgium
The fact that a taxpayer who takes up a professional activity abroad decides to deregister from Belgium or is removed from the population register (sometimes even ex officio after a longer period of time), is not in itself sufficient proof that this person should no longer be considered a Belgian tax resident.
For private individuals who have effectively been removed from the national register of the municipality where they lived before in Belgium, their status of resident or non-resident must be determined based on the general rules of taxability, as explained above. In other words, whether their 'tax residence' or 'seat of wealth' can still be located in Belgium after they have left.
The most important thing to do if you no longer want to be a Belgian tax resident, is to properly deregister from Belgium and submit your final 'exit' return. However, in case your family remains here or you continue to maintain significant ties with Belgium (e.g. bank accounts, real estate, business activity, car registration, etc.), the Belgian authorities could still consider you a Belgian tax resident after that. It all pretty much depends on the factual circumstances.
In general, a taxpayer who has no close family or takes them abroad will be considered a non-resident taxpayer as from the date of departure from Belgium. This should normally not give rise to any discussion. However, it should be obvious that the place of employment abroad is fixed, and the factual circumstances clearly demonstrate that the taxpayer has the intention to permanently reside abroad.
In case of doubt, the main criterion should be the actual place of residence (of the family) rather than the often – more complex – concept 'seat of wealth'. The Belgian authorities normally consider a continuous period of 24 months' residence abroad as the absolute minimum for the condition of permanent residence abroad (of the family) to be met.
If the absence or stay abroad is less than 24 months, or if it is not a permanent stay in one particular place, but rather consecutive stays in different countries, it could be challenged by the Belgian authorities that the required degree of permanent residence abroad is not present.
The above analysis clearly demonstrates that the concept of Belgian Tax Residence is much more complex than simply adding up the number of days you spent in Belgium in the past year. It is a thorough analysis of all the factual circumstances that will hopefully allow the taxpayer (as well as the Belgian authorities) to come to the right conclusion.

Ronaldo Snubs Player of Year Event Upon Receiving UEFA Leak - Reports

https://sputniknews.com/europe/201809011067670653-ronaldo-leak-player-year-uefa-event/
Three nominees – Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Mohamed Salah - could potentially win the award for the 2017/2018 season, which was to be solemnly presented at Monaco's Grimaldi Forum on August 30; and all three were supposed to attend. However, the third seat at the front remained vacant.
The 33-year-old Portuguese star, Ronaldo, who grabbed the EUFA award the previous two years, made up his mind not to attend the landmark ceremony in Monte Carlo at the eleventh hour, upon learning that he would not be recognized as the Player of the Year, ESPN reported. The edition wrote that the jury's verdict had been leaked to Ronaldo just two hours before his planned helicopter trip from Turin to Monaco, making him pause and reconsider.

"Cristiano Ronaldo should have won UEFA's POTY award. Don't get me wrong, Luka Modric had a great year. But if he doesn't play for Real, they still could have won Champions League. If Ronaldo doesn't play for Real, they don't win it"

Ronaldo's decision to be a no-show reportedly came as a surprise, since a private helicopter was already on standby to bring to Monaco not only Ronaldo, but his family, including girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, who is reported to have hurriedly left the Venice Film Festival for the UEFA event at the Grimaldi Forum.
If Ronaldo didn't leave Real, he wins it. Just Uefa bias.

Girl Sends Sext, Gets Kicked Out of School. Lacrosse Players Share Sext, Get Off Scot Free
A 16-year-old student says she was forced to withdraw from her prestigious Catholic prep school after texting a topless photo to two of the school's star athletes, who shared it with the entire lacrosse team but received no punishment. Instead of using the incident as a teachable moment for both male and female students about trust and social media, the administration sent a clear message: girls are ungodly creatures who tempt boys into sin.
Last month, 16-year-old Alexis texted a topless photo of herself to her good friend Jason.* Jason and Alexis had known each other since middle school, and had recently become even closer since Alexis was the manager of Jason's lacrosse team at Paul VI Catholic High School, a Fairfax, Virginia school well-known for its stellar athletics.
"Basically everyone" at Paul VI sexts, Alexis said, but she didn't e-flash Jason because she had a crush on him; it was a dare. "We were texting about this girl that used to be in love with him and how she sends him photos, and he said I would never do that," Alexis recalled. "He kept saying I wouldn't, so I said, 'watch me.' It was just a joke." The duo group-texted the photo to Peter, another close friend on the lacrosse team, but Alexis trusted that it wouldn't go any further. She was wrong.
Soon, Alexis heard rumors that one of the boys had sent her photo to the entire team in a group message. Her friends denied everything, so she didn't worry about it too much. But then, about a week later, her mother, Carol, received an email from a parent of a kid on the lacrosse team confirming the stories; apparently, the boys had been giggling over the photo together in gym class. The next day, Patrick McGroarty, the Dean of Students, called Alexis into his office.
According to Carol and Alexis, McGroarty told Alexis her behavior was "outrageous," especially because she wasn't dating either of the boys. Alexis was suspended for the day and told she would have a school counsel the next week to determine her future. While Alexis sat there being berated, she heard Jason and Peter called into the Athletic Director's office. "That's what my school does," she said. "They only care about sports."
"What upsets me is that Alexis was worried about covering for these boys, since they're star athletes," Carol said. "She knew if they got in trouble people would get mad at her."
The next week, Alexis, her parents, a handful of teachers, McGroarty and the principal, Virginia Colwell, had a meeting in which Alexis was asked if she knew what pornography was and whether she felt she had "harassed" Jason and Peter. Alexis said she found the questions complicated and was criticized for not answering them correctly, including one about "what justice" she felt the boys should receive; Alexis and her parents assumed the administration was referring to Jason and Peter's punishment, but they actually "wanted to know what I should do to make them feel better if they were distraught," Alexis said.
At the end of the meeting, the board unanimously decided that Alexis should withdraw from Paul VI. Jason and Peter — who, Alexis says, have already verbally committed to D-1 universities for lacrosse — were not punished in the slightest. "Their minds were clearly already made up," Carol said. "When I said this reaction was outrageous, the principal said, 'No, what's outrageous is that your daughter sent an unsolicited photo to these two boys.'"
McGroarty told Jezebel that the school was unable to comment on any incidents involving current or former Paul VI students.
Alexis said she's seen Jason since then, at a mutual friend's party — he avoided her and said "I don't have time for this" when she cornered him. "It sucks you got expelled," he said, "but what happened to you was your fault. you did this to yourself."
In a letter to superintendent Sr. Bernadette McManigal, Carol asked the district to reconsider their decision:
Perhaps the biggest problem I have is that there was no compassion shown to my daughter. She was never counseled by Father Kelly, or even asked her side of the story. Why weren't the children brought in all together and asked what happened? Why were the boys called to the AD's office with their coach while my daughter was in with the Dean of Students? Why did the AD tell the boys that Alexis wouldn't be in trouble? Why didn't the Dean of Students believe Alexis when she said that the boys were the ones who sent the photo to everyone?
"...in a Catholic school where we should be embracing our children and helping through situations like this, we choose to get rid of the problem instead," she wrote.
Teenage girls are systematically shamed for sexting, even though studies show that boys are just as likely to share x-rated photos. However, young men are almost twice as likely to share those photos, as well as more likely to receive forwarded sexts. Instead of harshly punishing girls who feel pressure to send sexy photos of themselves — or even instead of punishing the recipients — why don't schools teach both sexters and sextees why it's poor judgement to send and share private information? It's similar to the abstinence vs. safe sex debate: kids are definitely going to do it, so we need to teach them how to be safe.
Today is the first day back from spring break for Paul VI students. Alexis is at home, waiting for her local public school to allow her to enroll; since she abruptly withdrew midyear, the school wants to learn more from Paul VI about what happened. Jason and Peter, of course, are on campus, hanging out with their buddies.
"If they hadn't shared the photo, I would be at school with my friends right now," Alexis said. "But I'm not. I'm sitting at home while they're there."
