20 Principles for Successful Community Organizing
By Si Kahn / alternet.org
/ May 9, 2015
1. Most people are motivated primarily by self-interest. As a creative community organizer, you are always trying to figure out people's common self-interest, the glue that binds political organizations and movements.
2. Institutions and people that hold power over others are rarely as united as they first appear. If you can't get a person or institution to support you, you want to do everything in your power to convince them that it's in their best self-interest to stay out of the fight.
3. Start the process of strategy development by imagining that instant just before victory. Then, working backwards, do your best to figure out the steps that will lead to that moment.
4. It is generally useful, as a part of any creative community organizing campaign, to advocate for a positive as well as to oppose a negative.
5. The more complicated a strategy or tactic, the harder it is to carry out, and the less likely that it will be successful. You can ask a few people to do a lot of things, particularly if they're committed activists. If you want hundreds or thousands of people to participate in a campaign, you need to ask the great majority of them to do one thing, and only one.
6. You need to believe that human beings, no matter how much they may hate each other, can somehow find some common connection. To do that, leave your stereotypes at the door.
7. In real life and in actual campaigns for justice, the people are always partly united, partly divided. It's up to you to reinforce unity and to compensate for the divisions among the people with whom you work.
8. Don't ever let anyone tell you that demonstrations were only effective in the 1960s--that in the twenty-first century, we need to find other, less confrontational ways to make our voices heard.
9. Be absolutely certain that the people you work with truly understand the risks they're taking, the things that could go wrong, the losses they might suffer, before they make the decision to act, individually or together.
10. One of the greatest skills an organizer can have is the ability to frame and ask questions in ways that make people not only want to answer them, but also to think deeply, and in unexpected ways, about what the answers might be.
11. Laughter really is therapeutic, and hope does heal. Be cheerful in the face of adversity, and help others feel that way.
12. The more sure you are of yourself, of your experiences in other communities and campaigns, the more you have to struggle to avoid the arrogance of thinking you know what's right for other people.
13. When an institution that has a responsibility to everyday people fails to do its job, one option is to build another organization to challenge the first one and force it to do the right thing. The other option is not only to build an alternative organization, but to use it as the base for a campaign to take over the original one.
14. When those who have been without power gain it, there is no guarantee that they will exercise it more democratically than those who have had it before.
15. The power of culture can be an antidote to people's inability to see beyond their "own people" or situation. Culture can transform consciousness and make social change transformative rather than merely instrumental.
16. Organizers are often unjustly accused by those in power of inciting violence. That's a lie, and it needs to be put to rest. It's just a tactic the opposition uses to discredit your organization. To shut down a prison; to drive an exploitative enterprise out of business; to make sure a sexual harasser is fired--that is not violence. It's justice.
17. Go not only with what you know, but with whom you know. Even in the Internet age, personal relationships still count, especially when you're asking people to do something. When recruiting volunteers, give them a specific list of campaign needs from which they can choose.
18. It's quite easy to slide from helping organize a community to becoming its leader and spokesperson--even though you're not really a member of that community.
19. We can never truly predict what human beings working together can accomplish, and therefore we can never compromise with injustice.
20. The beloved community of which Dr. King spoke, rather than something we reach some day in the future, may be something we experience a little bit every day while, as creative community organizers, we walk and work towards it.
About Si Kahn
I've been a rabble-rouser and social activist for 45 of my almost 66 years, and have made my living as a professional civil rights, labor, and community organizer, as well as a performer. In my new political memoir, Creative Community Organizing: A Guide for Rabble-Rousers, Activists, and Quiet Lovers of Justice (Berrett-Koehler, 2010), I relate stories from some of the great social reform campaigns in recent American history, of which I've been privileged to play a part--including the Southern Civil Rights Movement, the Harlan County coal miner's strike, and the fight to abolish for-profit prisons and immigrant family detention. The book has lessons that I hope will inspire and motivate a new generation of community organizers and young activists--and anyone else who seeks to make an impact in their communities, from musicians and soccer moms, to teachers and politicians.

A 56-year-old woman was found dead with head injuries after reportedly getting stuck between the doors of an elevator at her Pudong apartment on Sunday.
The victim, surnamed Wang, lived in the fourth floor of the residential building on Huanlin Road. A man surnamed Chen who claims to have been friends with Wang said that he and his wife were waiting for her at the building's entrance on Sunday night but she never came down.
When they failed to reach her by phone, they walked up the steps and noticed a gap on the outer elevator door on the fourth floor. Chen saw through the gap that the elevator was stuck between the fifth and sixth floor.
After prying the door open, they saw Wang lying in the elevator car, bleeding from her head. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Other residents had reported experiencing problems with the elevator, which was produced by the Shanghai Congyou Elevator Co and maintained by the Yuanfan Elevaor Engineering Co. A woman living on the seventh floor told Xinmin Morning News that she was stuck in the elevator for 10 minutes on Sunday after it took her to the wrong floor.
Other residents who'd complained about similar issues said they'd called maintenance several times but the lift continued to have problems.

I'm burnt out and need a break. It could be a long one or it could be short lived but I've been doing this photoblogging bit since March of 2005. I did it for myself, to get motivated to go out and take photographs. It worked. I've taken the journey from digital back to analogue film but in the end it's all about photography, whatever tool you use. If you're passion is photography, just keep taking those photographs. For myself, I will keep going out in the streets of SF and beyond. See ya and the band will play on.

your work is dope..keep it up!
Enjoy your break John. Looking forward to your return. Your pix rock!
Damn, well I totally understand. Breaks are very good. Your going to be itching to post though after a couple of weeks off. I love your work and love the blog.
Thanks everyone! Hoping to get my photo legs back soon.
You deserve one John. Looking forward to seeing new photos when you get back!
Hey baby brother! It was great to spend a week with you & Rocio & the rest of the clan, hope we could do it again the next couple of years (hehe). Can't wait to see you back with some more great photos (got the picture of Erik, by the way)! Bye for now.
Love looking at photography blogs. Love black and white. Hello from Pittsburgh, PA. Was in San Francisco — my first visit to CA last year around this time. Keep up the good work!


The Freedom From Religion Foundation's new weekly TV show, "Freethought Matters," begins airing this Sunday in eight major cities, plus Madison, Wis., covering more than 22 percent of the United States TV market. The show will start broadcasting Sunday, Sept. 2, for 26 weeks, including in four of the top 10 markets.
As an antidote to religion on the airwaves and Sunday morning sermonizing, the half-hour talk show will air Sunday mornings in eight cities.
"You can turn on the TV and be preached at 24/7, especially on Sunday mornings," says FFRF co-founder Annie Laurie Gaylor. Gaylor and her husband, Dan Barker, a former evangelical minister and well-known atheist author, are FFRF co-presidents and typically co-host the program.
"We not only want to provide sympathetic programming for the 'unmassed masses,' but offer an alternative, so that religious programming does not win by default," adds Barker.
The intent is to introduce communities to leading freethought authors, thinkers and activists. Today, the nonreligious is the largest "denomination," surpassing Roman Catholics, at almost 24 percent of the adult population. A third of Millennials are "Nones" and a fifth of Gen Z explicitly identifies as atheist or agnostic.

Fact.
Diverse upcoming guests include international activists Maryam Namazie and Rafida Bonya Ahmed; Heretics author Steven Nadler; Native American atheist and musician Brent Michael Davids; Secular Coalition for America Executive Director Larry Decker; author Candace Gorham, author of The Ebony Project: Why Some Black Women Are Walking Out on Religion; state/church activist Marie Schaub; sculptor Zenos Frudakis, and Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and former Mormon Steve Benson.
Following a 13-show debut in Madison on WISC-TV 3 this spring, "Freethought Matters" will begin airing an all-new season of guests on Sunday, Sept. 2 at 11 p.m. The first show on Sept. 2 will feature popular "Friendly Atheist" blogger Hemant Mehta, interviewed by guest hosts Andrew Seidel, FFRF's director of strategic response, and Elizabeth Cavell, one of FFRF's constitutional attorneys.
FFRF is the nation's largest association of freethinkers (atheists and agnostics), with 32,000 members nationwide. FFRF also works as a watchdog guarding the constitutional separation between religion and government.
The show is produced by FFRF's videographer Bruce Johnson, a veteran of many years in public television. Crew includes staff members Monica Schwartz, Kristina Daleiden, Lauryn Seering and Chris Line, plus various floor managers, with sound production provided by Audio for the Arts.
Please tune in to "Freethought Matters" . . . because freethought matters.

Diabetes education material can be found all over the internet and for good reason.
Diabetes education material can be found all over the internet and for good reason. Diabetics are a group of patients who have most of the primary responsibility for self management of their disease.
Education and self management of diabetes is a major component of treating this chronic disease. A diabetic needs to be educated on every area of this disease because many aspects of controlling diabetes are areas of self care which the diabetic will need to be responsible for.
A diabetic patient will also need to watch their diet and there is great educational information on websites such as the American Diabetes Association on nutrition and diet control. There are also websites that have many new and delicious recipes for diabetic management. This diet control will help with the glucose levels in the blood system and when combined with exercise is important in overall weight control and the body's ability to respond to medication or insulin therapy.
The diabetic will also need to learn all they can about foot health care. Diabetics have an abundance of problems with their feet. This is caused by the narrowing of blood vessels in the legs together with nerve damage in the feet. Together these problems often cause any tiny break in the skin to become infected and can lead to gangrene of the foot. Gangrene often leads to amputation of the leg or foot.
When a patient has nerve damage in the foot, they are not able to tell when they have a small cut and an infection could start before it is even noticed. With the poor circulation, there is not enough blood flow to the foot to fight the infection. There is a lot of information on the internet on proper foot care.
Another place of concern for diabetes is the gums and teeth. Problems with blood glucose causes a higher than normal level of sugar which leads to many dental care problems. Because of the narrowing of blood vessels there is a reduced number of white blood cells in the mouth to fight any infections. This can lead to problems with gum diseases known as gingivitis and periodontitis. Gum diseases are harder to control and more severe in people with diabetes. Diabetics must be educated on dental self-care which involves flossing daily and brushing at least twice a day.
Eye problems are also another area of concern for people with diabetes. Diabetics can develop an eye condition called diabetic retinopathy which causes bad vision and often blindness. This is caused by the blood vessels in the back of the eyes becoming weak which leads to blood and fluid leaking into the retina. Therefore, diabetic are responsibility for getting regular eye checkups especially of the blood vessels in the back of the eyes.

'Poila Boishakh', which falls on 15 April each year, heralds the Bengali new year or the Nobo Borsho. It is time for new clothes, gifts, sumptuous food, delectable sweets and then some more food! In the past decade or so, the Bengali's love for excesses on Nobo Borsho has been tapped into by corporate marketeers, as is evident by a flurry of consumerist temptations around that day.
In the midst of all these festivities, a significant day that almost sneaks past quietly is Chaitra Sankranti, or the last day of the Bengali calendar. Equally quiet is the passing of the week of gajon, which ends with Charak puja and coincides with Chaitra Sankranti. The folklore and cultural significance behind gajon is fascinating, but it is difficult to find people within the urban milieu who know of the festival, especially among millennials and beyond. One of the reasons could be the shadowing of the subaltern by elitist culture.
"Ganja'r chirol-chirol paat, ganja khiaya mogno hoiya naache Bhulanath…" is one of the better-known songs of gajon, which describes the slender leaves of the marijuana plant and how Bholanath/Shiva dances in trance under the influence of it.

There are two theories about the origins of the word 'gajon'. Some believe it is derived from the word garjan or roar of the sadhus during the festivities. Some say that it is a combination of the words—ga (village) and jan (people), thus becoming a festival of village folks. Though it isn't clear how far back in history was gajon celebrated, it has references in the 17th-century Dharma Mangal kavya, which is dedicated to Dharmathakur, a folk deity worshipped in Bengal. He later got assimilated into the Brahmanical pantheon and often gets interpreted as a form of Shiva.
Gajon is celebrated in two forms—Dharmer gajon, which celebrates Dharmathakur's wedding to Mukti, and Shiber gajon, which celebrates Shiva's wedding to Parvati. In both forms, it celebrates the union between two equal halves—female and male.
Some historians believe that Dharmathakur, and by extension gajon, emerged from the rising influence of tantric Buddhism in Bengal. In fact, there are instances in the state where Buddha is worshipped as Dharmathakur. Then there are villages where Dharmathakur and Shiva are worshipped together. Gajon thus stands both as a symbol of assimilation and tug-of-war between Brahmanical beliefs and subaltern deities.

In Shiber gajon, goddess Kamila Debi is invoked during the first major ritual to come and unite with Shiva. Interestingly she is both the mother and a figure of destruction (kharap biddya). Communities closely entwined with mother nature recognise both these powers.
In essence, this is a pre-harvest festival of the rural, agrarian community, featuring ritualistic prayers for rains and harvest. Dharmathakur is considered to be the god of fertility. Interestingly, those who perform the rituals of gajon, the mool sanyasi (main priest) and the gajon sanyasis (those who perform gajon) are from those that are considered as lower in the caste order. During gajon they acquire the same social and spiritual status as Brahmin priests and are treated as embodiments of Dharmathakur or Shiva. This makes gajon stand apart from any other Hindu religious festival.
On the final day of gajon a 'charak' tree is worshipped. This unique gamar tree is thorny and branchless, with a white, straight trunk resembling the ash-smeared Shiva. The tree is believed to be a symbol of the Ardhanarishwar, who is imbued with the ultimate power.

The last I witnessed a gajon celebration was more than two decades ago when my father was posted in Silchar, Assam. Commercialisation hadn't yet creeped into the sleepy little town, and hence the locals gave festivals such as gajon with due importance. Young boys and men would dress up as Shiva, Parvati, Ganesha and Kali, and then roam around in the neighbourhood, singing gajon songs. They would be given money at the end of their performance by families to get their blessings. The made-up faces of the boys in garish colours of blue and yellow, armed with crude wigs and tridents, invoked both fear and excitement. Gajon is still celebrated in parts of Kolkata and rural Bengal. One hopes that the tradition is preserved for the sake of heterogeneity and as a recognition of an order beyond the restrictive Brahmanical norms.
While gajon is awe-inspiring, Chaitra Sankranti is personal and comforting. It is not just the last day of the Bengali calendar, but it is also believed to bring spring to a close. To me, the day is associated with a unique food ritual, which hails from my maternal side of the family. I still remember the morning of Chaitra Sankranti, when summer fruits such as water melon, water chestnuts, cucumbers, dates were offered to the house deities and then passed on to the children as prasad. A breakfast of flattened rice, curd and jaggery was also served. This was accompanied by sharbats of chhatu (roasted gram flour) with cold milk and bananas, bael (wood apple), and mishri (rock candy sugar).
This offering of sharbats have mythological significance. As per the Mahabharata, Bhishma Pitamah, while lying on the bed of arrows, felt thirsty on the day of Chaitra Sankranti. On learning this, Arjuna struck an arrow deep into the earth. Cool sweet water sprung from the furrow and entered Bhishma's mouth, quenching his thirst. Satiated, Bhishma declared that anyone offering cool water on this day would be absolved of sins.

After the partaking of sharbats, in our household, a vegetarian lunch was prepared. It began with neem-begun bhaja. My grandmother would pluck young neem leaves, nearly red in colour, from the tree to be crisped up and the mixed with fried, cubed eggplant and a dash of salt and ghee. This was followed by roasted moong dal cooked with roundels of tender bitter gourds, tempered with panchphoron in ghee. The accompaniment was usually mashed potato with a dash of pungent mustard oil. Next came motor dal (split peas) cooked with unripe, green mangoes from that one tree which had fragrant, kacha-meethe (sweet when unripe) fruits. This was accompanied by potol bhaja (fried pointed gourds) and sesame fritters.
This was followed by a personal favourite, sojne data'r chorchori (stir fried drumsticks with pumpkin, potatoes and other vegetables cooked in mustard paste). Each vegetable would be cut into equal sized batons, cooked tender but not mushy. The final item on the menu was the pièce de résistance. Unripe jackfruit curry made with ghee and freshly ground spices that separated the great cooks from the good ones.
The meal is not just meant to satiate the appetite but also tell a story. It symbolises all the tastes of life—bitter, sweet, sour, pungent, spicy—and is an ode to a year well spent. The platter signifies acceptance and acknowledgement of everything that life sent our way during the year.

When a citizen of one country takes up residence in another country, many of the above circumstances will present themselves, and the agencies in the host country will require a birth certificate in the native language. It is always wise, then, to get it translated prior to setting up residency in that other country.
Whenever legal documents are translated, the translator who completes that task will not necessarily have any type of "certification" to translate. Most countries do not certify translators. The method by which a document like a birth certificate becomes certified is that the translator prepares an affidavit stating that the translation is accurate, when the translation was completed, and for whom the translation was prepared.
All legal documents that are translated by The Word Point will carry with them an affidavit. The affidavit is accepted by all public and private organizations as the proper "certification" of the document.
The process is quite simple. We require that you complete an order form and upload a certified copy of your original birth certificate. Our prices are very reasonable. Once you make payment, we will assign a translator who is a native linguist in the target language into which the certificate is to be translated. If you need multiple translations, you shall have them. And each translation will be completed by a native from each target country.
The Word Point serves clients with any type of translation – medical, legal, technical, industrial, business, personal, and the arts and entertainment. Even politicians have used our services when they wish to deliver a speech in a native language. In all cases, field experts in the target country will be used to perform these translations.
Whatever your need; whatever your urgency, we can meet that need – no exceptions.
Whether your language translation need is small or large, TheWordPoint is always there to assist you.

Nocturnal Animals (2016) starring Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, & Michael Shannon
July 21, 2019 January 5, 2020 EmmaLeave a comment
A (revenge) story inside a story follows LA-based 40-something art curator, Susan Morrow (Amy Adams), who receives a (soon to be published) book manuscript from her ex-husband, Edward Sheffield (Jake Gyllenhaal), who she left 20 years earlier. The second element follows the book itself (titled Nocturnal Animals) which revolves around a family man, Tony Hastings (also Gyllenhaal), whose vacation turns violent after his car is run off a rural Texas road. Tony, his wife (Isla Fisher), and their teen daughter India (Ellie Bamber) come face to face w/ a trio of dangerous young men. As Susan reads Edward's engrossing book, she finds herself recalling their marriage, her loss of idealism, and confronting some hard truths about herself.
The first thing you notice re: this stylish (yet not shallow) thriller (directed by famed American fashion designer Tom Ford) is its look- it's beautiful! The cinematographer is Irishman Seamus McGarvey; he also worked on Atonement. The costumes, hair, makeup, set decoration, etc, add to the richness of the story; however, sometimes the symbolism is too obvious. The score was inspired in Philip Glass and Bernard Herrmann; there is something familiar, yet also mysterious about the music. This tale also has something to say re: the art world (which Ford is familiar w/ being among the wealthy).
The acting is also quite good, starting w/ (Oscar nominee) Michael Shannon, who portrays a gruff Texas deputy- Bobby Andes- who's not afraid to bend the rules to catch the bad guys. He's a magnetic screen presence (bringing to my mind Gene Hackman). Gyllenhaal does a great job (as usual) in both his roles, esp. as Tony- the more interesting character. Laura Linney is only in one scene- she's fabulous! Armie Hammer plays Susan's second husband- Hutton- who is cold, distant, and worried re: the failing art gallery. Critics also loved to hate the villain- Ray (Aaron Taylor-Johnson, husband of director Sam Taylor-Johnson); I hadn't seen him before. As for Adams, pay attention to the quiet moments (she spends a lot of time reading).

Leaders come in different shapes and forms, but Zach Ronquillo definitely looks the part when you look at the Ascension Episcopal Blue Gators.
This is the year for Ronquillo. Last year as a junior, he emerged as a playmaker in the Blue Gator offense, catching passes from Jake Arceneaux. He's an impressive athlete, and it looks like he added some muscle heading into his final season at AES. He might be listed as a receiver, but he's one of the bigger players on the roster. The ball will be in his hands a lot, and it will be up to him to make a difference.
When things got tough last season, the Blue Gators looked to Jake Arceneaux. This year, Ronquillo is ready to fill that role.
"I'm coming in as a senior this year, kind of replacing the leadership that Jake had," Ronquillo said. "I'm not that much of a talkative guy, but I lead by example."
If Ascension Episcopal wants to repeat the breakout success they had last season in District 7-1A, they need to find creative ways to involve him in the offense. New Head Coach Matt Desormeaux is leaning on him heading into the 2016 season, and he's ready to carry the load.

Artist Branding: The Role of Gallery, Dealer and Artist's Estates
by Milica Jovic June 03, 2019
An artist's road to prominence is a complicated one. It usually starts with placing art into galleries, followed by steady price appreciation, sales at art fairs and major auctions, and ultimately inclusion in museum shows and reputable collections. Sometimes it seems like artists get instant recognition for their work. But more often than not the success of an artist is the result of a carefully thought-through strategy constructed by other art professionals. Galleries, dealers and artists' estates each have important roles in building powerful artists' brands.

Art galleries invest plenty of effort into building artists' brands in all stages of their career - from discovering new artists, helping them develop, to promoting their art and selling their works. Gallerists get actively involved in the development of the artists' style by visiting artists' studios and giving advice. They inspire artists, by pushing them to think about their work and how they want to progress.
When the artwork is finished, galleries will often contact their recurrent clients and try to get the artwork into a prominent private or public collection even before the piece is shown. Having an artwork included in a reputable collection is pivotal for the career of an up-and-coming artist. Many art collectors take their peers' opinion into consideration when purchasing art. Entering one respectable private collection will attract other art collectors of similar wealth and renown.
Sometimes galleries decide to keep an artwork that has the potential of being included in the eminent public collection, rather than selling it to an individual buyer. Placing artworks in a prestigious museum is the ultimate sign of validation in the art world and can skyrocket the prices of other works made by the same artist. Even exhibiting in major institutions can do wonders for an artist career. Every artist has an exhibition list on his or her website - a list that is carefully reviewed by potential buyers. The more prestigious the exhibition venues on the list, the more likely the purchase.
But before artists get to museums, the gallery will promote them through art fairs and in-house exhibitions. Sometimes galleries will include emerging artist's piece in a group show featuring their better-known names hoping to draw attention to their latest representee. Other times, they'll opt for a solo show. Whether they organize solo or group shows, the entire burden of organization and promotion is up to the gallery. Galleries organize and pay photo-shoots for exhibition catalogues and hire writers to do the attention-grabbing press releases and descriptions of the artworks.
Galleries also work on researches for exhibitions and help arrange and publish books promoting their artists' works. Certain prominent galleries even have in-house photography and publishing businesses that provide complete control over the process.
To ensure that exhibitions are well-attended, galleries use their influence to get coverage in the press and renowned art magazines. To increase the artist's popularity even further, galleries organize interviews and feature articles in industry journals and catalogues. Sold out shows, placing in public and private collections and acceptances to art fairs signify that the gallery is on the right track.

Art dealers facilitate art sales by connecting represented artists with galleries, museums, collectors or corporations and play a major role in the development of the artist's career. We already talked about how important relevant public and private collections are for emerging artists.
Art dealers use their connections with wealthy collectors and important museums to help propel artists' careers. Being well-versed in the art market, dealers can predict and sometimes even influence future market trends. That's why they are always on the lookout for exciting new artists who fit into these trends. Subsequently, they initiate sales to collectors and museums whose taste and interests match the artist's style.
Art dealers also use their ties to art institutions and art non-profits to exhibit their represented artists' works. Sometimes art dealers are appointed as curators for various gallery and museum shows. That means that they get to choose pieces for that show, which enables their represented artists easier access to these institutions.

Artists' Estates
Artists' estates preserve artists' work and legacy after their death. They can include anything that once belonged to the artist (e.g. letters, papers, documents…), but art pieces are the most important part of an artist estate. Sometimes artists leave a bunch of instructions for the managers of their estates, detailing which art to exhibit and borrow to exhibitions, which art to sell and to whom, how to conserve art… Other times, running of the artist's estate is left completely to the will of the manager.
The main purpose of the estate is to ensure that the artist remains relevant in the days to come. In order to achieve this goal, estates often organize exhibitions and retrospectives of artists' works. Some artists like Thomas Schütte and Damien Hirst even created their own museums to ensure that their art will be exhibited properly after they die. Others donated their estates partly or in full to museums and non-profits to ensure that they will be properly preserved for future generations.
When they are not organizing exhibitions, artists' estates often systematize artist's papers and other archival materials, that speak about the artist's life and creative process. Estates work together with colleges and different art foundations to make these papers accessible to researchers, scholars, and students, therefore ensuring that the artist maintains his or her relevance.
Artists' estates are actively involved in the making of catalogue raisonnés – comprehensive listings of all known artists' pieces with detailed descriptions, images, provenance and scholarly comments. Catalogue raisonné is a great way to raise appreciation and interest in the artist among students, art professionals, collectors and art lovers in general because it gives them insight into how the artist's life influenced his or her artistic expression over time. Plus, they are colorful and fun to read.
Parts of artists' estates are occasionally sold through galleries and auctions, to benefit the artist's heirs, which is why it's important to keep the prices afloat. The price of art tends to rise after the death of its maker, but without the proper strategy, this sudden rise in popularity can be short-lived, and the artist is quickly forgotten.

The BMW i3 is not only the most affordable emissions-free vehicle it's also the world's most silent. To emphasize the vehicles balance of high performance and quiet luxury, BMW took the i3 on a field trip in their latest video campaign to the perfect place, where even the most hushed voices are heard.
Opting for a different kind of track, the clever video demonstrates the i3's agile capabilities as it tears up long corridors and common spaces of the grand historic BME library in Budapest, going totally unnoticed by patrons.
Packed inside this highly sustainable electric car you'll find everything you'd expect in a BMW, minus the noise under the hood. It also features an innovative one pedal system which allows you to brake by simply lifting your foot off the accelerator, enabling the recovery of the cars kinetic energy to charge the battery and extend driving range.
Check out some photos of the BMW i3 in Budapest below and push play above to experience it in action. For more information on the BMW i3, click here.

The St Mary's Pastoral Care Team offer four main services, which are outlined below. If, however, you don't feel you fit into any category, please don't hesitate to get in touch anyway! The best way to contact us is through the Parish Office (01494 783629) who will be able to direct you suitably.
The Pastoral Care Team for the Housebound and Lonely make regular visits to offer support, friendship and updates on church family news to those who have become unable to leave their homes due to chronic illness or immobility, especially if they live alone. We also try to keep in touch with people who have become vulnerable or at risk of becoming isolated, as well as visiting members of the congregation who are experiencing problems such as recovering from surgery or coping with bereavement.
Please let us know if you are concerned about someone or are experiencing difficulty yourself.
The Face to Face team aims to offer short term support to anyone facing a particular need – caused for example by illness, job loss, bereavement or other short term problems. A team of 9 men and women are available to listen, support, offer advice, pray, counsel or provide practical help. If you feel that this is something you or someone close to you may benefit from, please get in touch.
Many people in sheltered accomodation or care homes can't get to church – so we go to them! To make sure they can worship and hear God's Word or begin to find faith, teams regularly organise extended communion services in the common rooms of three homes in Chesham. We sing hymns, pray for people's needs and give a short talk relating to a Bible passage. Coffee and an opportunity for everyone to talk is provided afterwards. We aim to become personally involved with those we minister to by learning about things that trouble them, and prayerfully supporting them through hospital visits. Occasionally it is our privilege to walk with and comfort members of this congregation on their final journey.
If you or someone you know is taking the difficult step of changing to residential care, please let us know so that we can invite them to share in our ministry and assure them that wherever they are, the Family of God does not forget them.
Our driving team are here to provide transport to and from our services for those who would be otherwise unable to make the journey due to age or medical condition.

Corporate Pledge on Religious Freedom – A History
January 12, 2016: Washington, DC
Brian Grim's comments at the public launch of the Corporate Pledge on Religious Freedom (event photos by Maria Byrk/Newseum Institute).*
I'd like to give you the history of the corporate pledge that you have in front of you in support of Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB), the international formulation of what we here in the U.S. that we generally just refer to as religious freedom, based on Article 18 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 18, in short, guarantees everyone's right to have and practice a religion, change their religion, or have no religion at all.**
The history of the corporate pledge – like the history of a company or business – is really the history of the people who made it and continue to make it day after day.
The idea for the corporate pledge began in the Middle East in the 1990s, when the vice president of the Religious Freedom & Business Foundation, Greg Clark, then Managing Legal Counsel for Occidental Petroleum in the region, saw how local governments responded when they met with State Department officials on human rights and religious freedom issues – polite but not a high priority. By contrast, when Occidental representatives raised a concern that affected its employees or interests, it was treated as a priority.
At the same time, and quite independently, I was heading up the first faith-based development organization in what was then the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic. As the Soviet Union was dissolved, the new (and current) president of Kazakhstan immediately announced support for religious freedom, and one his first actions was to turn over the Communist Party Training School to be turned into the country's first business school. At that point Pres. Nazarbaev perceived a direct connection between religious and economic freedom. As a result, and certainly not perfectly, Nazarbaev envisioned a future where Muslims, Christians and people of various faiths could work together to build a new country.
That's a bit of ancient history.
Since then, and after many years in corporate law, my colleague Greg Clark left the Middle East volunteered for his church as its legal and religious freedom representative for Brazil. From there, he got me interested in looking at the global research on I'd been coordinating for the better part of a decade at the Pew Research Center from a different perspective – from the self interests of businesses and governments. Indeed, research I've published with Greg as well as a string of articles at the World Economic Forum, where I serve as chair of the global agenda council on the role of faith, show just that. Where religious freedom and the diversity that arises with it are protected and respected, sustainable, long term economic development is more likely. One of the main causal links is that where religious freedom is present, peace and the stability it provides for businesses to grow is much more likely. For more on that argument you can see my Cambridge University Press book with Roger Finke, The Price of Freedom Denied.
And, it was in Brazil, that the idea came about for this corporate pledge that is accompanied by a packet of supporting corporate documents you can find on our website. The first step was for me to leave Pew and set up the Religious Freedom & Business Foundation as a platform to study and make known the connections between religious freedom and better socio-economic outcomes. The launch of the foundation took place in 2014 in Brazil, that included not only the Brazilian vice president Michel Temer, but also leading business people, one of whom simply observed that if we could provide him some basic language in support of freedom of religion and belief and religious nondiscrimination – things that he already wholeheartedly supported – that he'd be glad to get it inserted into the corporate documents of the companies he controlled.
That's when two corporate lawyers here with us today – Gavin Parker and Rob Ellis – volunteered to turn the idea into a series of corporate documents that you can find on the Religious Freedom & Business Foundation website under "initiatives", including the corporate pledge you have today. Rob and Gavin transformed some rough concepts into drafts that were then circulated to a number of religious freedom experts, including the religious freedom round table that Charles Haynes helps coordinate; the folks at Tanenbaum, including Mark Fowler, Elizabeth Joslin and Eliza Blanchard; and several of the panel members who will speak later, including Dan Mach from ACLU, Richard Foltin from AJC.
This corporate pledge has also been developed in the context of a partnership that the Religious Freedom and Business Foundation has with the United Nations. Around the same time that I was setting up the Foundation, Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon set up the Business for Peace Platform within the United Nations Global Compact. Together, we plan to hold an awards event during the upcoming Olympics in Brazil recognizing business leaders who are advancing interfaith understanding, religious freedom, and peace through their company's work, their own advocacy, or through public-private partnerships.
We are honored today to have a board member of the UN Global Compact with us, Y.W. Junardy, Chief Corporate Officer of the Rajawali Corp., a business group involved in multiple industries across Indonesia. Junardy is a true global leader in putting to practice the potential of business as a force for good. Just two examples among many. First, Junardy enlisted Sec. Gen Ban Ki-Moon to help launch a new resource on how business is a powerful force to support interfaith understanding, practical religious freedom, and peace. The joint publication with my Foundation and the UN Global Compact Network in Indonesia gives case studies of four different ways businesses do this, including: 1) using marketing expertise to bridge borders; 2) incentivizing innovation; 3) incubating and catalyzing social entrepreneurship; and 4) supporting workplace diversity. Since launching this in Indonesia in 2014, we've since translated it into Portuguese and featured the publication at a major religious freedom and business event in Brazil. The event was attended by some 700 business and community leaders and was hosted in Brazil's first mosque. Second, Junardy has used his business to help alleviate poverty among multiple faith groups in Indonesia by overcoming a severe social problem, that is many people in Indonesia found themselves in the situation that they are living as families out of wedlock, preventing their children from being registered and essentially living as stateless persons. He's helped thousands of couples marry by hosting mass interfaith wedding events, one of which he has just come back from Timor-Leste.
These connections through the UN Global Compact have allowed the role of religious freedom to be highlighted among top business leaders, including at a recent event with Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and some 300 other corporate leaders at the UN. Just as an example of one result from that, Aviva, one of the UK's largest and oldest insurance companies, has taken an interest in the corporate pledge that you have before you.
I'd like to recognize another special guest, Arnie Podgorsky, a corporate lawyer here in DC, working with Fouad Makhzoumi, a Lebanese billionaire working in the gas and pipe business. Unfortunately Fouad can't be with us today, but his work is an example of how a businessman in a difficult part of the world sees religious freedom as critical for socio-economic success. In addition to being an outspoken advocate for religious freedom, The Makhzoumi Foundation has provided job training for over 400,000 people in Lebanon – that's one in ten people in the country. But the unique nature of the program is that Makhzoumi, a Sunni Muslim, insists that the job training benefit all in Lebanese society, not just members of his faith. As he says, only when people of all faiths have the opportunity to rise together can the economy of a country be successful.
Finally, and now going back to really ancient history, I grew up in a house where business and faith interacted quite naturally. My parents are here today. And it was my father who while working as a chief engineer for a major international corporation also was head of our church's building committee, led a boy scout troop, taught Sunday school, and participated in a stock club. All those activities fit naturally together, with his faith and work providing an example to me of how the freedom to be who you are wherever you are is one of the great sources of innovation and human development.

Questions to the Panel:
(1) Let's begin with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling of last June 1st in favor of Samantha Elauf, an American Muslim woman who wears a hijab and was denied a job at Abercrombie & Fitch when she was 17. Elauf claimed the company did not offer her a job because her religious identity, and specifically because her hijab, violates Abercrombie's "look policy." The court ruled 8-to-1 in favor of Elauf. What are some of the various ways that U.S. law protects employees from religious discrimination in hiring, firing and advancement?
(2) Turning now to a more recent event hitting the news is a workplace prayer dispute with Somali workers at Cargill Meat Solutions Fort Morgan, Colorado, meatpacking plant that led to the firing of about 190 employees. The workers who lost their jobs were mostly immigrants from Somalia, and their termination came after they failed to report to work for three consecutive days in December to protest what they say were changes in times allowed for Muslim prayer. Cargill says, however, it makes every "reasonable attempt" to provide religious accommodation for all of its employees at the Fort Morgan plant without interrupting operations. This raises the question of how far employers should be expected to accommodate religious practices in the workplace. Are companies doing enough?
(3) Last week it was reported that more than 100 Georgia-based businesses have formed a partnership to oppose religious freedom legislation that has sparked convention and tourism boycotts in states where it has been passed into law, most notably in Indiana last fall, with Apple CEO Tim Cook as a leading critic. These businesses argue that religious freedom legislation will be used to discriminate against LGBT people in employment and public accommodations. Certainly, the question of "if and how to accommodate employees with a religious objection to same-sex marriage" is a live issue. How should companies balance ostensibly conflicting claims for rights from LGBT and religious employees? What role should companies play in publicly supporting or denouncing religious freedom legislation?
(4) And now to wrap up, I'd like to return to the corporate pledge. What possibilities do you see for advancing the four points*** of the pledge within the business community?

All 98 seats in the state House are up for election, and voters will decide 25 of the Senate's 49 seats.
OLYMPIA — Dozens of races across Washington will determine if Democrats maintain — or possibly even increase — their control of the Legislature.
"People think of us as a blue state even though we are a deeply divided state," said Cornell Clayton, director of the Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Policy at Washington State University.
A handful of races have seen significant spending by outside groups. They include the 30th District, which includes Federal Way, where Democrat Claire Wilson seeks to oust Republican incumbent Sen. Mark Miloscia, and the 26th District, which stretches south from Bremerton, where a a seat was left open by Republican Sen. Jan Angel's retirement.
August's primary showed several Republican incumbents and Republican candidates in open seats trailing their Democratic opponents, even in some districts that were previously considered safe GOP districts.
In the Senate, Republicans are trying to hold onto three Republican-held districts where the Democratic aggregate vote in the primary was higher than the Republican vote: Miloscia's seat, Republican. Sen. Doug Ericksen's district in Whatcom County and the open seat in the 26th, where Democrat Emily Randall and Republican Marty McClendon are vying to replace Angel.
"I think this is just likely to be a year where we are going to benefit significantly from people's desire to send a message about how frustrated they are," said Democratic Sen. Jamie Pedersen, who is chairman of the Washington Senate Democratic Campaign.
"I'd be foolish and dishonest if I didn't say this is a year where we've got more obstacles," he said.
"I think that people understand that there's a difference between the people talking on national news and the people they know in their neighborhood," he said.
Pedersen agrees with Fitzgibbon that the attention on the congressional races will have an impact on turnout and could be a factor in races like the 47th in south King County, which overlaps with the 8th Congressional District race between Republican Dino Rossi and Democrat Kim Schrier and where incumbent Republican state Sen. Joe Fain is seeking re-election to his third term under the cloud of a sexual assault accusation. Last month, a woman said Fain raped her in Washington, D.C., in 2007. He has denied the accusation and has called for an investigation.
Two other lawmakers seeking re-election this year have also had to address sexual misconduct charges. Democratic Rep. David Sawyer lost his August primary less than two months after an outside investigation found that he violated the chamber's policies on harassment, decorum and ethics. Among the findings in the investigation were that Sawyer sent a House employee "inappropriate and offensive" text messages over a period of three months.
Last month, Republican leaders in the House called for Rep. Matt Manweller to resign after The Northwest News Network reported that a former Idaho high school student of Manweller's said she had a sexual relationship with him in the 1990s, when she was 17. Manweller, who was fired from his professor position at Central Washington University in August following an outside investigation into alleged inappropriate conduct, has denied the allegations but has said he will finish his term but not serve another if re-elected next month.

Samsung Group
The Samsung Group (Korean: 삼성 그룹, Hanja: 三星 그룹 Samsŏng Kŭrup) (KRX: 005930, KRX: 005935) is the world's largest conglomerate by revenue, headquarted in Seocho Samsung Town, Seoul, South Korea. It is South Korea's largest chaebol and composed of numerous international affilated businesses, most of them united under the Samsung brand, including Samsung Electronics, the world's largest electronics company, Samsung Heavy Industries, one of the world's largest shipbuilders and Samsung Engineering & Construction, a major global construction company. These three multinationals form the core of Samsung Group and reflect its name - the meaning of the Korean word Samsung is "tristar" or "three stars".
Samsung has been the world's most popular consumer electronics brand since 2005 and is the best known South Korean brand in the world. Samsung Group accounts for more than 20% of South Korea's total exports and is the leader in many domestic industries, such as the financial, chemical, retail and entertainment industries. The company's strong influence in South Korea is visible throughout the nation, which has been referred to as the "Republic of Samsung".


The pretty TV newsperson was interviewing a doctor about the coming crisis in the funding of health care. It seems that physicians will be taking a 27% cut in reimbursements by Medicare, which will not, however, make a corresponding cut in their expenses. (Thank God I'm retired!) Can a doctor opt out of Medicare? Sure, but then he's not allowed to see Medicare patients. For certain specialties, that would be the kiss of death. It wasn't mentioned, but would appear obvious, that in order to maintain his standard of living, the doctor will be sorely tempted to charge for extra services and tests. This, in turn, will likely lead to charges of over-billing, doing unnecessary procedures, etc., and bring about a crackdown on Medicare "abuse," thus making the situation even worse for the hapless physician. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. In short, health care, especially as regards Medicare, is a mess, and getting messier.
And how about the riots around the world, including camp-outs in many American cities? We are told that the campers are furious that the 99% are being abused by the 1%, however unfounded that claim may be. But if their anger is not always well directed, they at least realize that things are badly out of order in our society, and they're sick and tired of being ripped off. In some instances, the police are responding with unnecessary violence, as police are wont to do nowadays, as they seem to be morphing into a highly militarized force. Resentment of the police by a segment of the population is matched by resentment of the campers by another. Polarization! The phrase "divide and conquer" comes to mind.
My wife informs me that the price of food is escalating, and we take more care now in what we buy, where we buy it, and what we pay. It's not surprising, with dollars being churned out as fast the computers can create them, that goods are becoming more expensive, at least in terms of those dollars. The TV financial commentators assure us that the price of commodities is going to go through the roof. We are bombarded by TV ads for gold and silver--unheard of a few years ago.
Yet, as we pay more and more for less and less, taxes will be increased so that the U.S. can pay its bills with a little less borrowing--a double whammy! Where will it end? And what's good about all the bad news?
What's good is that things never get better until they've gotten worse. Human nature being what it is, people will endure injustice almost indefinitely, until a breaking point is reached. That breaking point may be imminent. I think—I hope!--that people are waking up to the fact that the government, which in theory exists to protect us, is destroying us. Our safely, our privacy, our property, our fundamental rights--what's left of them--are being rapidly eroded. Our rulers are looking after themselves and their cronies, and regard us as so much cattle to be milked and sacrificed. Is it too much to hope that Americans are beginning to realize that government is not our friend, but our enemy; and that the time has come to set it aside--gently, if possible?
It can be claimed that the mess we're in is because our rulers are incredibly stupid and inept. Or, perhaps, they know exactly what they are doing, and are deliberately destroying our society to merge us into a one-world tyranny, with a single currency. Or perhaps our Congresspeople are just talking suits, fronts for the real, behind-the-scenes, rulers. Does it make any difference? Things must change, in any event.
Of course, change, per se is neither good nor bad; but maintaining the status quo is definitely dangerous. My fellow frogs, the water in this pot is getting awfully hot. Let's bail out while we can!

THE SUBJECT came up at a recent family wedding, although we all knew about it before then. My sister-in-law pronounced that those of our family born with the Rees name suffer severely from the condition. We pooled our medical and scientific training, considered the evidence and concluded, sadly, that we were indeed all afflicted, a consensus firmly and volubly endorsed by all four unaffected spouses.
We traced it back to my mother, renowned for statements like "Mrs Whatshername told Miss Youknow that it was all Thingummy's fault …", and for being cross with the listener for not knowing exactly who she was talking about, this being her defence mechanism for her poor memory.
The condition is known in the medical profession as onomastic aphasia, if I remember rightly. Sufferers are embarrassed: they cannot remember names – of people, places, book and film titles, brand names – even if they know them well and have done so for some time. Sufferers dread introducing people because at the critical moment, the names will have gone. Half an hour later they return, but that's too late. This can lead to grossly rude behaviour: it is easier not to attempt an introduction at all than to risk the mind going blank at the critical moment.
Sufferers use various ploys to get out of this. "You two know each other, of course?" followed by silence, usually forces people to introduce themselves. If the person being introduced is not well known, try: "What is your name?" "Ponsonby." "Yes, I knew that, of course [liar], I'd just forgotten your first name." If he answers "John" you are sunk, unless you introduce him as John. But if you do know John well, he is astonished at your behaviour.
When driving, I am tempted to go back to the place we've just been through because I've instantly forgotten its name. Where roundabouts are frequent, circuitous driving and family acrimony result. "How can you be so stupid …?" [easily].
The condition is also associated with failure to remember numbers, but this has no separate name (arithmetic aphasia sounds like an inability to remember one's multiplication tables). Life is so much easier if you have memorised telephone, car and post code numbers, but accurate recall is essential. Credit card, bank card, and security numbers are all difficult to retain, especially as there are so many of them. It is easier to devise (rude) mnemonics for names than for numbers, but beware of calling someone by this rather than their real name, like "Mr Smelly" for "Mr Smiley". My problem is that I forget the mnemonic as easily as the name I want to recall.
While advancing years do not help memory, I well recall having difficulties even as a child (when our Welsh village was invaded by London evacuees with strange names) and when the geography master threw at us the names of South American countries, with their capitals. The rest of the class picked up the names effortlessly: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile … each with its capital, Buenos Aires, La Paz, Rio de Janeiro (then), Santiago … but there was no way I could do it straight off. And he took delight in humiliating me, repeatedly, in front of the class.
Curiously, I still remember my identity card number, the number of the family pre-war car, and the names of all my classmates in primary school. What I have only just learned (I think) is the number of the car I have now owned for ten years, and I have to think hard (and sometimes unsuccessfully) to recall my home telephone number. In contrast, my wife effortlessly remembers dozens of telephone numbers and postcodes. While I do remember my own and my wife's name when signing hotel registers, the car number usually defeats me. I usually guess at it to avoid fuss.
The most odd aspect of the condition is that it is instantly contagious. Mention it to someone, and he or she claims to be a sufferer, too, with anecdotes to prove it. Even those clearly adept with names – introducing a dozen people without a falter, let alone error – when told of aphasia, claim to have a rotten memory and find names particularly difficult to remember. If only they knew what a real sufferer went through. I've never met anyone who claims to have a good memory, but those who can remember, the sequence of cards in two shuffled packs after only a minute or so of scrutiny really have something to boast about. I might remember the first three, for a couple of minutes, if I concentrated hard.
Aphasia can, of course, profoundly affect career prospects, should one unwisely choose a profession involving names or numbers. Children in classrooms must get fed up being referred to as "you" by their teacher. No sooner have the names begun to sink in than the class moves up, to be replaced by another lot of names. Imagine the horror of working in a public records office, and forgetting the name before you have turned up the appropriate file, or in a herbarium with thousands of pressed plants, each with a different name.
Memory is such a curious subject that I was encouraged to investigate further, only to find that for all the research that is done into it and related topics – learning, thought and reasoning – our understanding of the physiology and biochemistry of memory remains fairly rudimentary. I discovered the concept of a short-term memory where a limited amount of information (5 to 9 items) can be held for a few seconds before it is either coded into a separate long-term memory or is lost. I visualise the hippocampus of my brain being unable to transmit the short-term memory to something more long-term, or my mind being unable to (having forgotten how to?) access the neural memory trace, or "engram", from my long-term memory bank, wherever that might be. It's not that I forget things, I just never remember them.
Psychologists have investigated some persons with exceptional memories – said to exhibit "hypermnesia". The most famous of these was a Russian, code-named "S", who could recall long random series of numbers or words without error, many years later (The Mind of a Mnemonist, by A. R. Luria, Harvard UP, 1968). His mnemonic abilities appeared to depend on an outstandingly clear, detailed and persistent eidetic ("photographic") memory, possibly aided by sensations elsewhere in his body (synaesthesia). In general, the anatomical and physiological basis of hypermnesia, and indeed much of the physical system that sustains memory, is poorly understood.
Onomastic aphasia is, sad to say, incurable. Presumably, as one ages, its effects will become more acceptable: "He always was a bit vague; never could remember people's names." And it is inherited, not only through the maternal line, much to my offspring's annoyance, so it will be around for some time yet. Must send this off now. What was the editor's name?

anyone else seeing macOS hard crash with Pulse Secure installed?
OpenVPN client installed and session configured with tun adapter (only happens with tun, not with tap).
Note, Pulse Secure session is NOT running, but PulseSecureFirewall.kext is loaded and Pulse Secure client has been started.
macOS crashes with black screen and doesn't even leave usual crash report.
It can be triggered by doing some activity on vtap0 adapter (LAN scan triggers macOS crash reliably).
I opened support case with Apple and they were quick to point out that PulseSecureFirewall.kext may be the reason.
Indeed, if I unload PulseSecureFirewall.kext, then there is no macOS crash.
Have anyone else seen this? Can I somehow report this to Juniper?
Please open a support ticket with Pulse Secure TAC to start the investigation.
Thanks for a hint. I am a subcontractor in the company where I use Pulse Secure client and it is complicated to find support contract information to be able to log a case.
Check this thread which was discussed at the Apple community.
It states the same I have found, PulseSecureFirewall.kext causes kernel panic.
Now that we know I am not the only one, let's fix it, please.
I am also having reproducible kernel panics, clearly due to PulseSecureFirewall.kext. I'm on macOS 10.14.2 and Pulse Secure 9.0.3. Any update on this issue?
Please try installing 5.3R7 Pulse Client which is compatible with Mac Mojave and it does not have PulseSecureFirewall.kext plugin.
It's also working for me. Thanks!
@ivarss @mcarrick Glad to hear that.

WOWCAST BLOG: BT High and Bye?
Well my guild has just downed Illidan so you must be quite close to where we are. However you have a couple of problems coming up. Archimonde is a horrible fight that requires precision timing form everyone. Seriously, you just can not be carried in there. I did it about 3 times and gave up. My guild have gotten him 3 times now but I doubt I'll ever see it happen. Then in BT Reliquary of Souls is a pig too. Assuming you get through that Illidan needs an on game tank. It's not down to the healer its down to the tank in that fight.
You can only bully your way through so much raiding. Fortunately for us our two main raid leaders keep our GL on a tight leash but to do well you have to have a good attitude. That includes people doing what they are told and being honest about why they died.
What many people will weigh up right now is that the new expansion is only months away and is any of this really worth it? I'd rather be consolidating small personal relationships that are going to matter when you are LFM when you hit the first dungeon on day 1 of the Lich King. (yes it is that close to entering the new zone). After that you are going to need good friends to get you and your many alts to 80 and have fun doing it. A raid party wont help you level and they will no doubt split of into like minded groups of their own.
Come the next end game you may feel different but right now I think friendships that are going to be helping you get to 80 are more important than a slim chance at some loot.

Q: load HTML file with javascript I need to load the content of an HTML file into a div.
I am doing it with the following javascript code
function scroll_down() {
  var div = $('#div_name');
  $.get('html_file_to_load.html', function(data) {
      div.html(data);
      $('body, html').scrollTop(div[0].scrollHeight);
  })
}

the function loads the html_file_to_load.html file, add the content to a div, and then scrolls down the page. The problem is that the HTML file may contain some pictures
example < img src='picture.jpg' >
In this case what happens is that after the HTML code is loaded, the scroll bar is set to the bottom, the browser loads the pictures and the vertical height of the page increases !!
I need to add a check: the browser has to wait until the HTML file and pictures files eventually included in it are all loaded before executing scrollTop(div[0].scrollHeight);
How can I do this?

A: You can add event listeners to the images and force it to scroll when they load
function forceScroll(elem) {
  $('body, html').scrollTop(elem.scrollHeight);
}

function scroll_down() {
  var div = $('#div_name');
  $.get('html_file_to_load.html', function(data) {
      var html = $(data);
      var imgs = html.find("img");
      imgs.each(function() {
        $(this).on("load", function() {
          forceScroll(div[0]);
        });
      });
      div.append(html);
      forceScroll(div[0]);
    }
  });
}

Search 'idiot', get Trump: how activists are manipulating Google Images
The first page of search results has become the frontline in petty internet protests against Donald Trump

Donald Trump is #winning. On the back of an already excellent week where he was gifted a football and impeded a monarch, right now the president is also leaping up Google's image search rankings, to pole position.
When you type the word "idiot" into Google's image search, Trump is the first returned result. This is partly because the Green Day song American Idiot was used by protesters to soundtrack his trip to London. But since then there's also been a concerted campaign to capitalize on that association, and manipulate Google's algorithm, by linking the word to the picture. Mostly this involved people upvoting a post containing a photo of him and the word "idiot" on Reddit.
(Auto)complete fail: how search suggestions keep catching Google out
This may seem unfair to his most fervent supporters. But if there's one thing Google is keen to emphasize, it's that search ain't fair.
The company has always refused to play God when it comes to their algorithm. Even when the search term "Jew" started returning a hook-nosed caricature in 2004, rather than delete the image, they instead took out ads next to it to explain why antisemitic imagery, as well as antisemitic websites like "Jew Watch", were appearing so high up the results.
"A site's ranking in Google's search results relies heavily on computer algorithms using thousands of factors to calculate a page's relevance to a given query," they explained. "Sometimes subtleties of language cause anomalies to appear that cannot be predicted."
They continued with that line of argument when, in 2009, searches for "Michelle Obama" began returning a picture of the first lady's face retouched to have ape-like features. Again, the company decided to raise awareness alongside it rather than tinker.
The famous algorithm is constantly being reworked, but only to make it more useful, not more culturally sensitive. After all, opening the door to one manual review might open the door to them all.
The fact that the system can still be gamed is surprising, and judging the scale of its effect is controversial, not least because media articles about the "controversy" feed into it.
Searching "rapist" before the US election was likely to bring up at least five images of Bill Clinton in the top 10. Threads that tagged the 42nd president were making it to the front page of Reddit, already in the top 20 most visited websites according to traffic ranking site Alexa. From a platform that large, it was a short hop to the top of the rankings.
Many of these were rudimentary, almost meaningless. "RAPIST! RAPIST! RAPIST! RAPIST!" "Today this rapist turns 70. Happy Birthday, rapist." Most originated from the notorious Reddit forum TheDonald, where fans of Trump congregated to spread his gospel of doing whatever you like, screw the consequences.
The forum moderators would pin a post to the top of the forum to encourage others to upvote it, and the swell of upvotes would push it to the front page of Reddit, which already styles itself "The front page of the Internet", causing it to leap up to the top row of Google images.
For example, for the term "fake news", TheDonald's team managed to get CNN's logo up the charts. Likewise, for a long time Redditors battled US telecoms giant Comcast, trying to get a swastika to the top of the company's image searches by posting the company's name over and over beneath the hooked cross. They later tried the same with photo sharing site Imgur.
It was a perfect wheeze for a while, but while Google's algorithm is opaque, it is clear the effect also seems to fade rapidly. The Clinton images no longer appear.
In 2013, the English Disco Lovers movement was started as a deliberate Google bomb to hijack the search results of the English Defence League, the far-right movement founded by Tommy Robinson. It worked. But as people continued to prefer anti-Islam rhetoric to Sister Sledge, it faded down the rankings, until it became what it is now – seventh on the second page.
Open racism and slurs are fine to post on Reddit, says CEO
In less trafficked queries, though, the link can persist. "Sick person opens jar of pickles" still points to several pictures of Hillary Clinton doing exactly that on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The irony, as you may be aware, is that despite there being no provable link between the concepts, an article in the Guardian featuring a picture of Donald Trump and the word "idiot" will only reinforce the results further. Let's hope no one clicks on this or links to it, and say only, very soberly: "Trump Trump Trump Trump idiot idiot idiot idiot."
