Makavelli was an alias, used by 2pac. It was based on the teachings of Niccolo Machiavelli, who advocated the use of cunning and deceitful tactics in politics. 50 is saying until 2pac returns (many people think he faked his death) it's "All Eyez" on him.
Shyne, a rpper, was locked up for 10 years for allegedly shooting up a nightclub. The lyric implies the rapper might do the same.
Using a play on 2 Pac's (AKA Makaveli) hit song, "All Eyes on Me", 50 Cent implied tht Makaveli is not yet dead (as many still believe), and he will be returning to the spotlight. Until then, "All Eyes" are on 50 Cent.
If 50 Cent gets out of police custody, he will run as fast as he can, in hope of avoding reincarceration.

If you want to read some background and history on timers, keep going from this point. If you want to jump right into coding timers, click here.
find out if a communications peer or server is still there, has crashed, has become disconnected, or has shut down.
CODING TIP: Generally, you want to use a timer for short-lived light-weight tasks since, unless you jump through some hoops, those tasks will run on the main thread. If you ran a task that takes 1 second to complete on a timer that fires every second, your user interface would be unresponsive! Used correctly, timers can allow you to write semantically clear code without getting into asynchronous/background ("threaded") code (using something like Grand Central Dispatch (GCD)).
CODING TIP: Conversely, you can use timers to control or "pace" the spinning off of heavy-duty, long running tasks. For example, you may have a realtime application that must constantly and regularly poll for updated data, then recalculate/refresh pivot table(s) that summarize statistically meaningful metrics like averages, sums, standard deviations, etc., and finally update your UI with the new values. On each tick, you could start each update cycle using GCD.
Polling is a proven, predictable, and simple method for a client to regularly check for some changing condition(s) or state(s) on a server. Or, an app may need to poll a data source for updates. There are many other examples I could mention. Using the Timer class for such purposes is often the best option to use in code. They're semantically clear, easy to set up, and time-savers when development pressures are almost always high.
Yes, there are alternative solutions to polling like interrupts. There seems to be this never-ending debate over which technique is superior. These type of debates have merit in the sense that people definitely should always be thinking about improving software systems. On the other hand, such debates tend to bore me to near death as there rarely ever is a "perfect" solution and I'm a diehard pragmatist: I want techniques that work and are simple to implement.
Oftentimes, there is no alternative to polling. Suppose there's some free public data source, like weather information, accessible through a REST API, where the data is encoded in JSON. Say the data owners require clients to sign up for an API key. Most such free services I've used just update data fields at the source — and that's it. They don't send push notifications to every developer with an API key. They expect clients to poll their API to find out if, for example, the temperature has changed. While some such services allow retail clients to subscribe to push notifications to get informed about changes, many don't support this type of overhead for clients who are developers.
There are other use cases beyond polling, like coordinating an app's performance of a series of steps at regular intervals.
I'll walk you through setting up and configuring a Timer in Swift, starting it ticking, pausing it, resuming it, stopping it, and restarting it. You can download my sample project from GitHub, which is finished and ready to run, and read along, or follow the steps I describe below and build the project from scratch. Either way, read along with me.
Create a new Xcode project using the iOS Single View App template.
// Declare an instance of the Timer class.
// each time Timer fires/ticks.
Remember that since we rarely initialize an instance of UIViewController subclass programmatically, all those properties I just added were either optionals or had initial values assigned.
To keep my code "bounded," I generally always set the maximum number of times that a timer can be fired (totalTicks). Even in cases where my timers run for the whole life of an app, I generally enforce this boundary condition to help during development — and especially debugging — of timer code.
// The first tick is always zero ("0").
// bar increments (going from 0.0 to 1.0).
// Create and configure the timer for 1.0 second ticks.
// Make the timer efficient.
// Helps UI stay responsive even with timer.
repeats: set this to true to make your timer repeatedly call the selector, once per timeInterval — we'll discuss false in the conclusion.
Wait a minute. Notice that the line calling scheduledTimer now has the error (!) Use of unresolved identifier 'onTimerTick'. That's because the selector argument of scheduledTimer points to a function named onTimerTick that gets called on every timeInterval as specified by my tickRate constant — but onTimerTick hasn't been defined yet! Let's do that next, and note that we'll discuss tolerance and RunLoop in the conclusion.
// MARK: - Timer tick handler; called every time timer fires.
// Get custom data sent from timer.
// reflecting another timer tick.
// tick for 60 seconds.
// the current tick and display.
What? Another error? This time it's (!)Argument of '#selector' refers to instance method 'onTimerTick(timer:)' that is not exposed to Objective-C. Why?
…the compiler will emit warnings about places where the Objective-C entry points for these inference cases are used, e.g., in a #selector or #keyPath expression, via messaging through AnyObject, or direct uses in Objective-C code within a mixed project. The warnings can be silenced by adding an explicit @objc.
When you want to start or "resume" a Timer, you must create and configure one as I showed you above. When you want to stop or "pause" a Timer, you must destroy (invalidate()) it as I showed you above and will show you in the next code snippet.
Once scheduled on a run loop, the timer fires at the specified interval until it is invalidated. A nonrepeating timer invalidates itself immediately after it fires. However, for a repeating timer, you must invalidate the timer object yourself by calling its invalidate() method. … Invalidating the timer immediately disables it so that it no longer affects the run loop. … Once invalidated, timer objects cannot be reused.
Hey. That was pretty simple — overall. There were some error messages we had to deal with. And there were a couple of important sounding properties we set, but which I haven't yet explained. Before concluding by defining these timer details, let's look at an example of a timer.
Let me show you how I have used timers to simplify the coding of features that may seem complex and where you would probably assume that I would have to use a different technology to implement.
You'll see an extra bit of padding on the right side. That's because, while my algorithm for calculating the sizes of tiles and the order in which they're filled is innovative, I haven't yet had the time to make it look perfect.
As you can see, the UI and app in general remain responsive while tiling. In fact each tile animation very briefly uses approximately just 20% of CPU on the main thread.
I've made a convincing case as to the extensive utility of timers in app coding, so I don't need to rehash this tutorial. While describing my code, I did show you some code that I didn't fully explain. I wanted you to concentrate on timer essentials. Now that you understand the Swift Timer class, let's take the time to cover a few details that are worth mentioning.
You specify whether a timer is repeating or nonrepeating at creation time. A nonrepeating [false] timer fires once and then invalidates itself automatically, thereby preventing the timer from firing again.
If you've ever wondered how to start some task at some predetermined time in the future — like after your app starts — this is one way of doing it.
Setting a tolerance for a timer allows it to fire later than the scheduled fire date. Allowing the system flexibility in when a timer fires increases the ability of the system to optimize for increased power savings and responsiveness.
A general rule, set the tolerance to at least 10% of the interval, for a repeating timer. Even a small amount of tolerance has significant positive impact on the power usage of your application.
I used RunLoop.Mode.common when scheduling my timers in a run loop. I wish there was a simple explanation for this in Apple's documentation, but I can't find any. The topic is discussed at links like this one and this one, but I can't find anything clear and concise.
So trust my experience and research into putting all the pieces together that RunLoop.Mode.common makes your timer more responsive in terms of the UI. In other words, scrolling or tapping on the screen does not interfere with your timer's timing.
We've covered a whole lot. I hope you're feeling more confident about using the Swift Timer class. I've used them to great success in my apps. You will too.


Despite progress that has been made with more women entering the workplace, the UK is still one of the worst countries in Europe for gender diversity at work.
A survey of 18 European countries, conducted by Glassdoor Economic Research, Britain ranked 11th on overall gender equality behind the likes of the Scandinavian countries, France and Spain, scoring below average on three-quarters of factors.
The one bright spot for the UK is its third place ranking for having the highest proportion of female managers, only just behind Sweden and Norway.
The report looked at 12 key factors, including; female-to-male ratio, proportion female managers, and the gender gap in employment rates by educational attainment.
Dr. Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist of Glassdoor, said: "In the UK there are fewer women than men in the workplace. However, this gap is considerably narrower for those with a university education. By contrast, Sweden, Norway and Finland all have an almost equal balance of men and women in the labour market and can be a lesson for the UK.
Looking at full-time equivalent employment (taking into account the number of hours worked) the gender gap widens and is generally two to three times higher than for overall employment. This highlights the differences in the hours worked by men and women, with women less likely to be employed full-time. The gender gap for those who have gone through tertiary education (University) is around half of what it is for those with less than upper secondary education. Further education thus significantly increases a woman's probability of being employed.
In Sweden, Norway, the UK and Portugal, more than 35% of managers are women. However, in Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy and Denmark the proportion drops to below 30%. Female managers are most under-represented in the Netherlands, at only 26%.
At board level, women are under-represented too: fewer than 40% of board members of listed companies are women. Norway, at 36% percent, has the highest proportion of women, due partly to a legislation-based quota system introduced in 2006. In France, Finland, and Sweden, around 30% of board members are women. In Denmark, the UK, Italy, and Germany, it is around 26%. In Ireland, Portugal and Greece, the proportion is between 13% and 10%; while in Estonia, the proportion is a lowly 8%.
The gender pay gap increases with the presence of children in a family. The pay difference (with respect to men) between women with at least one child and those with no children is highest by far in Ireland (31 percentage points, or 'pp'). The cost of motherhood is also comparatively high in Germany (23pp), but lowest in Italy Spain and Belgium (3pp or less). In the UK, it is 14pp.


The first edition of this book was the first on the physics of DNA to go beyond the simple (simplified) 'linear' approach, and it has since been found that the inclusion of nonlinear effects leads to a significantly improved interpretation of experimental data. This new edition naturally retains this approach, but has been completely revised, updated and expanded to cover recent developments. Beginning with introductory chapters on DNA structure and dynamics, the book also includes a comparison between linear and nonlinear approaches to the DNA molecule, a chapter devoted to the statistics of nonlinear excitations of DNA, and examples for the interpretation of experimental data on the dynamics of DNA in terms of nonlinear theory. Essential reading for researchers in biophysics and nonlinear physics, allowing biologists, chemists and physicists to continue developing new and improved techniques of investigating the DNA molecule.

India has an estimated 1.7 million Nepali migrants working in various parts of the country. This study, the first of its kind, is an exploration of the lifestyle-related issues facing these migrants. Led by Dr Pramod Regmi and Prof Edwin van Teijlingen, it aims to explore health-seeking behaviours of Nepali migrants.
What was the idea behind the study?
There are approximately 4 million Nepalese working abroad, primarily in India (38%), Gulf and Malaysia. Most engage in semi-skilled or unskilled labour — for example, men mainly on building sites, in factories, and women mainly in domestic work. These migrants send around US$4 billion (28% of Nepal's GDP back home every year). However, this income is often at a great personal cost to the workers. About 1,000 Nepalese migrant workers die every year and 10% of these deaths are due to suicide. Many hundreds of Nepalese migrant workers return home with serious injuries or poor mental health.
Cross-border migration between India and Nepal is not a new phenomenon. Migrants from Nepal are the third largest group of foreign nationals in India. However, most previous studies among Nepali migrants in India have predominantly focused on sexual risk-taking behaviours. As far as we know, there is no previous research that has been conducted into the experience of Nepali migrants in India around their lifestyles, health and wellbeing and working environment, despite India being a popular destination for many Nepalese men and women workers. A few recent studies with Nepalese migrants in other settings such as the Gulf countries reported that injuries or accidents at workplace are not uncommon. There are also many barriers to seeking health care at destination countries. So our study is to gain insights around lifestyles and wellbeing of Nepalese migrants in India.
How are you approaching this study?
How do Nepali migrants in India view their lifestyle-related behaviours (e.g. alcohol, exercise, socialising) whilst in India?
Where do they seek help around health and illness?
What is their social life, living conditions (e.g. accommodation, exclusion from community), working environment (e.g. nature of work, occupational injuries, facilities such as leave, duration of work)?
What is the mental health status (e.g. anxiety, worry) and overall quality of life of Nepali migrants?
We will also interview relevant stakeholders (e.g. charities working for Nepalese migrants, health care professionals) in India to understand their views on different health and wellbeing issues of Nepalese migrants.
Who are you partnering with for this project?
In India, we are working closely with the Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Science (Nagpur). In the UK, we are partnering with the Liverpool John Moores University. Our team members and collaborators have long-standing experience in public health research in Nepal and combined have published more than 150 scientific papers, including several migration-related articles. Together we bring a range of expertise, including expertise in qualitative research, migration, public health, and medical sociology.
How will your findings benefit the scientific community, stakeholders, and the migrant community?
This research has short and longer-term benefits for the scientific community, public health practitioners, and community services such as medical and counselling services in Nepal and India, and members of the intended target group (migrant workers and their family). As pre-departure orientation is mandatory for Nepalese labour migrant workers, this is however currently being aimed at the migrants going to other countries than India. We have a notion that understanding health and lifestyles of Nepalese migrants in India (e.g. risk taking behaviours, risk factors for poor mental health) will help facilitate incorporating these components in the pre-departure orientation curricula targeted at aspiring Nepali migrants to India. Our findings will also be useful for the relevant stakeholders (e.g. charities working for Nepalese migrants in India). Furthermore, our findings will form the basis for larger research project grants that considers public health issues of South Asian migrants.

The Cube of Wholeness
2017 Channellings

Connecting with your Divinity
Alcazar's Cube
Connect with your inner divinity
What is the cube of Wholeness?
From the outside the Cube of Wholeness is a beautiful copper cube with 45cm edges. The original lustrous high shine has now faded, giving a beautiful aged appearance.
Inside the Cube is a precise arrangement of copper cube. In a way it's a shame that the cube did require covering, as the internal arrangement is quite fascinating.
The design for the Cube was channelled over a period of time to Helen, by Alcazar. First the exterior, and then the exact layout of the inner tubes. It soon became clear to Helen and Ine who were working with the etheric Cube, that it was an immensely powerful device. After a few months, and with direction from Alcazar as to who to engage to build the Cube, the build process began with anticipation. It took around a month for the intricate work to be completed and the craftsman, Marcel, did a great job.
The Cube itself is a beautiful object in itself, and would have made a wonderful centrepiece! But it's more than just a beautiful piece of modern art! That became even clearer when Alcazar instructed that the Cube needed activation, and a formal activation ceremony was performed by Him, Helen and Ine.
Alcazar said of the Cube
"It's impossible to believe that something so small as the Cube can be so powerful. And it's only natural for those who work with the Cube to wonder what it is about the arrangement and design of the cube that allows the Cube to facilitate a growth of consciousness in those who use it with appropriate intent. The Cube is a gift from the Universe to Earth, and as such all the blessings of the Universe and the strength that you call forward when asking the Universe for its intervention and help, is replicated but not contained within the Cube. The energy of the Cube extends far beyond its physical edges to touch those who come into contact with it, in a benevolent and gentle way, that promotes their own understanding and awareness. With appropriate intent the Cube can lead to healing and the growth of consciousness. Earth is ready for the Cube and for the power within in"
Since then Helen and Ine have experienced at first hand the gentle yet transformative effect the Cube has had on those who have engaged with it. It's clear that the Cube effects each person differently, in a way that is appropriate for them. One common theme seems to be it's ability to shine a light on those area of 'darkness' that need addressing. One person described it as being like a 'self-mirror'. So it helps with awareness which is the starting point for any inner work. It's perhaps too early to assess how the Cube then helps with the process following on from awareness.
We look forward to working with the Cube with as many people as possible, in the hope that it can help them with their inner development. More Cubes will follow, in different metals. And in order to share the Cube with as many as possible we will soon be able to offer bespoke Cube jewellery (using activated Cubes).
More Cubes will follow.

If you are like many parents, the teenage years hit your home like a tornado. In your child's opinion, you went from being a Zen Master of all things related to life and morphed into their own real world version of Homer Simpson. This child who once was the source of such joy and affirmation in your life now causes you to perpetually live with fear, frustration, or failure—the three "F"s every one of us has experienced as a parent. For about ten years, these "F"s dig their claws into your skin and hang on like a bad friend who never pays for his own lunch.
Early on you may have had a rock-solid confidence in your abilities and an appreciation that your child needs you for pretty much everything. Then, in what seems like an overnight flip of a switch, you began to develop a complete and utter insecurity about parenting. You went from being a gourmet chef of peanut butter and jelly, a healer of all scrapes, and a skilled negotiator…to a parent paralyzed by fear. You traded in your expertise and excitement about parenting in exchange for fear and failure.
Don't worry. You are not alone. For most parents, confidence is replaced with some level of fear during the teen years. Fear of outside influences, fear of your teenager's future, fear of screwing up your teen, and fear of your child finding out about your past—these are the toxins that keep us awake at night. One dad with two teenage daughters told me, "I get so terrified sometimes that I feel like I want to barricade the front door and cut all the lines coming to the house." It is easy to get so distracted by the "what if's" that you don't get to enjoy everyday moments with your teen.
If your default is not fear, then perhaps it's failure. Your own failure, your teen's failure, your spouse's failure––take your pick. It is remarkably easy for us to become immobilized by failures as parents. The older your teen gets, the list of things that make you feel like less and less of a success as a parent grows longer. At the end of the week, the checklist of your failures can threaten to rob you of any joy.
❑ I don't check their phones enough.
❑ I don't make sure they get enough sleep.
❑ I can't keep up with all of their friends.
❑ I can't control my temper when responding to their moods.
❑ I forget to affirm their efforts.
❑ I forget to check up on their homework and grades.
❑ I don't pray with them anymore.
❑ I don't make time for significant conversations.
Some responsibilities are more important than others, but big or small, failure in the little things seems to paralyze parents. Maybe things didn't go so well with you and your child yesterday. Maybe things haven't been good for a while now. Regardless, it does not mean you have to choke down a big dose of guilt at the start of each day. The problem with feeling like a failure as a parent is that it does not easily go away. As long as you want it to, failure is willing to stick with you like an invisible rash that never leaves your side. It is more than happy to remind you that you do not make the cut as a parent.
Let's be honest. Every one of us has struggled with the three "F"s at some point. Whether being slapped around by them from time to time or being owned by them, we all know what it's like to feel fear, failure, and frustration. The scary thing is when you start believing that this is the way it is supposed to be—as if this is as good as it will ever get with your teenager.
If this is you, I want you to hear this truth. This IS NOT the relationship that God intends for you to have with your child for the long term. He has something far more dynamic, life-breathing, and transformative in mind for you. When God gave you the blessing of being a parent, He meant for it to be an experience that would change both your life and your child's life in order to make you both more like Christ Himself. He gave your child to you so you could both learn a deeper knowledge of Him, a greater dependency on Him, and a truer spiritual intimacy with Him.
Here is one of the keys. Here is the reason most parents live with fear, failure, and frustration. Here is why many parents give up and believe this is as good as it gets. We have forgotten part of the process…and it is all about God. God's desire is for us to know Him and enjoy Him forever. Listen to how the apostle Paul describes the relationship of all things to God.
For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen (Romans 11:36).
God created, and it came back to Him. God blesses, and it comes back to Him. God works through all things, and it comes back to Him. God allows failure or disappointment, and it comes back to Him. All of life is intended to be connected to the One who makes all things for His glory.
His desire is for you and your child to be connected to Him and follow Him together. When this happens parenting becomes exciting, redemptive, and affirming. Don't get me wrong, parenting is still hard work––probably the hardest thing you will ever do. But when you are developing a dependency on God, you are helping your child to discover the wonder of God. When you are walking with God together, it is rewarding beyond words. Then the small stuff that leads to fear, failure, and frustration doesn't seem nearly as strangling.

Tour a beautiful Newport RI Mansion for a "trip back in history".
A "must see" on any Newport Rhode Island Vacation are the elegant homes on Bellevue Avenue owned by the 19th century merchant traders.
The first time I visited Newport, I remember driving down the majestic Bellevue Avenue past the Newport Mansions and being awestruck. These beautiful Mansions are set on a lovely tree-lined street. Many of the homes overlook the ocean.
Several other special tours during the Holidays.
If you are looking for Newport Mansions Discounts, want to see all 11 properties, or will be traveling more than once to Newport, consider becoming a member of the Preservation Society . This allows unlimited visits to all 11 properties for the year plus other benefits. The cost is just about $20 more than the 5 home tour, so it's quite a deal.
Newport was one of our "Girls Getaways" (below - 3 generations!) and we really enjoyed the tour of this mansion on our Newport Rhode Island Vacation.
There were actors portraying Mrs. Astor, her family and domestic staff interacting with visitors as we walked through Beechwood Mansion. After the tour, everyone gathered in the salon for some music and dancing.
Unfortunately Astor's Beechwood was sold to a private party in 2010 and the public tours are no longer available.
Be sure to include nearby Cliff Walk and Ocean Drive in your list on things to do in Newport.
Even if you don't actually tour a Newport RI Mansion, strolling down Bellevue Avenue will make for a very memorable experience on your Newport Weekend Getaway.

People magazine reports exclusively that Nerdist CEO and "Talking Dead" host Chris Hardwick tied the knot with actress Lydia Hearst in Pasadena, California, on Saturday.
About 450 people watched Hardwick, 44, and Hearst, 31, exchange their I dos.
Hearst wore a sweet Christian Siriano gown with pink detail, while Christian walked down the aisle in Prada.
The ceremony had a sci fi theme, including inspiration drawn from the couple's favorite comic-book series.
"I could never have envisioned a more perfect wedding day," Lydia — daughter of heiress Patty Hearst — told People. "It's better and more magical than I could have ever dreamed of."

Q: Removing access privileges to backup while maintaining current setup I have a giant directory, and I am dealing with a backup.
I would like to store this backup in as safe of a way as possible.
One of the ways of doing that is removing rwx privileges through chmod.
Best would be if I could somehow lock the folder to anyone other than root.
I can do that by running chmod -R, but that effectively removes whatever access settings there were on all files beforehand. I don't want that for we may want to use this backup one day and then it would be good not to have changed whatever mod settings we have set within the folder.
So how can I best remove access privileges for all but root without permanently loosing whatever access setting was there before, within the folder?
Is there some 'lock folder' mechanism?

A: You could set the permissions on the directory where the backup is stored to 0700, owned by root:root. This will prevent anyone but root from accessing the files through normal means, and is trivially reversible when you restore the backup.
Alternatively, you can introduce a new directory level just above the root of the backup target location, which can be set to those same permissions. That way you won't touch any permissions on the backup at all.

Moneybomb Monsanto: We're Closing in on Our Goal! Your Donation Could Put Us Over the Top!
Our 'Drop the Money Bomb on Monsanto' campaign continues to make history, as more individuals and more groups pitch in to help guarantee a $1 million matching gift – and the nation's first victory in GMO labeling.
Please help us raise $1 million by May 26 for the California Right to Know GMO Labeling Campaign so we don't miss out on this $1 million matching gift!
People and groups from every state in the US have been pitching in for this campaign. Why? Because we all know how much is riding on this victory in California. We've already seen GMO labeling laws make their way through legislatures in states like Washington, Vermont, and Connecticut, only to falter before they could be put to a vote. But the work pro-labelers have done in those states, and the publicity generated around their campaigns, have helped rally consumers in every state around the California campaign.
The California labeling law is our best shot at eventually guaranteeing consumers' right to know on a national scale. This time, legislators can't cave into Big Biotech – because this is a citizens' initiative. And polls show that 90% of California voters support GMO labeling.
Big Food, Monsanto and the rest of the Biotech Bullies are revving up for a massive ad campaign to try to kill this initiative – and they've got a $60 million war chest to play with. We don't need $60 million, because voters already support labeling 9 to 1. But we do need to run an effective campaign to counter the lies and propaganda that will soon hit the California airwaves.
We can do this – with your help. With just two days left, we need about $150,000. We're counting on small donations of $5, $10, $20 to get us there. Your donation could be the one that puts us over the top!
Every dollar counts! Please donate today and tell Monsanto: We have the right to know if our food contains GMOs. Thank you!
Occupy Monsanto Week Begins September 17
In an effort to expose Monsanto's greed and hold the company accountable for their crimes, we are making Genetic Crimes Unit (GCU) Action Kits available for free to the first 50 groups who commit to Occupy Monsanto during the week of September 17th, 2012. Fill out the online form with your mailing address, email address, size, and basic info (date, time, and location) about your Occupy Monsanto plans for the week of September 17th and get your free kit!
Over the last 10 years Monsanto has spent over $52 million dollars making sure they get the most favorable legislation possible. Of that $52 million, nearly $11 million was paid to outside lobbying firms to lobby on behalf of Monsanto, while the rest of the total was spent on Monsanto's staff lobbyists.
When you've got billions of dollars in your coffers, you can afford to pay off political candidates & members of Congress. Follow this link to learn whether your Senator or Representative received donations from Monsanto's Political Action Committee known as Monsanto Citizenship Fund between 2002 and the first quarter of 2012. If so, please contact them to say that you don't support Monsanto's efforts to genetically contaminate the world's food supply.
In order to convince America's hardworking farmers that Monsanto's patented genes & toxic chemicals are safe, Monsanto has created a mobile advertising "unit" that will be spreading lies & pro-GMO propaganda around the United States this year. If your Genetic Crime Unit needs a good location to protect against further genetic contamination, go here for more information.
Stop GM mosquitoes in Florida
http://www.biosafety-info.net/article.php?aid=896
Office of Governor Rick Scott
Dear Governor Scott,
The undersigned consumer and environmental groups urge you to prevent the experimental release of British biotechnology company Oxitec's genetically engineered mosquitoes in the Florida Keys.
This experiment would be a first in the United States. The supposed purpose of this experiment is to determine if the Aedes aegypti mosquito population will be reduced, as genetically engineered males mate with wild females, passing on a genetic defect that kills their offspring before they reach adulthood. The company claims this would theoretically reduce the mosquito population and the prevalence of dengue fever.
While mosquitoes that breed themselves out of existence may seem like a new option for dealing with the threat of disease and an irritating daily fact of life for Floridians, it has yet to be proven that this engineered mosquito is safe for people or the environment – or that it can effectively reduce the spread of dengue fever.
This would be the first genetically engineered insect to be introduced in the United States with the intent to wipe out a wild population in the name of disease control. Oxitec has already released millions of GE insects into the wild in South America and the Caribbean without studying potential environmental or health risks. Now Floridians are set to be Oxitec's next guinea pigs, despite the fact that the Florida Keys had no reported cases of dengue fever in 2011.
The release of the company's transgenic mosquitoes by the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District was planned to occur as early as spring 2012.
According to the Associated Press, during a two-month trial, between 5,000 and 10,000 of these transgenic mosquitoes would be released into an undisclosed 36-square-acre block near the Key West Cemetery.
The experiment raises serious concerns around the impact releasing genetically engineered mosquitoes could have on public health and the environment. For example, biting female mosquitoes could inject an engineered protein into humans along with other proteins from the mosquitos' salivary gland. Oxitec has yet to conduct or publish any study showing that this protein is not expressed in the salivary gland and therefore cannot be passed on to humans. This is a real concern, even though officials only plan to release non-biting males, as genetically engineered females can also be accidentally released.
The company expects each batch to contain less than one percent females.
This is because mosquito pupae are tiny and sorting them for a large-scale release leaves plenty of room for error. Additionally, 3.5 percent of the insects in an Oxitec lab test survived to adulthood despite presumably carrying the lethal gene. These two facts combined mean that there will be a significant number of genetically engineered female mosquitoes in the environment that bite humans and spread disease. Since Aedes aegypti females bite many people in one feeding, it is able to spread disease even at low population levels. This means Oxitec's technology might not even work in limiting the spread of disease while still exposing Keys residents to possible risks.
Despite the grave and growing public concerns that have been raised about the genetically engineered mosquitoes, there is no indication that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration or any other federal or state agency has evaluated the safety of the company's planned release. Nor has there been an independent analysis to examine the public health or environmental impacts of this release. While it does appear Oxitec has a pending application, no agency seems to know who is actively responsible for considering it. Recent reports claim that despite a lack of clarity on which federal agency will have oversight over Oxitec's transgenic mosquitoes, the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District is still interested in moving ahead with their field trial in 2012.
Communities near the proposed test areas should not become Oxitec's laboratory for the field release of genetically engineered mosquitoes.
Since the federal government is not actively regulating these insects, Florida's government should step up to protect Floridians and prohibit the release of these unregulated and uncontrolled mosquitoes in South Florida.
On April 3, 2012, the Key West City Commission voted 5 to 2 to pass a resolution objecting to the release of Oxitec's genetically engineered mosquitoes. Please stand with Key West residents and their elected officials and oppose the release of these genetically engineered mosquitoes.
If you have questions or need more information, please contact Meagan Morrison at morrisonmeagan@yahoo.com or at (305) 879-3042.

Q: View Dask Task Graph I am using the Dask submit and gather paradigm to do something like:
data_future = client.scatter(data, broadcast=True)

futures = []
for i in range(10):
    futures.append(dask.submit(some_func, i, data_future))

results = dask_client.gather(futures)

Is there some way to view/visualize the DAG in this paradigm after the computation has completed?
The documentation appears to be well suited for the Dask delayed paradigm. In case it matters, this is for a distributed cluster.

A: As of 2019-06-21, not really, no.
You can view it live on the dashboard's /graph page but there isn't any convenient code to render a static image of the graph today.  I would say that this is in scope, but not something that current maintainers are thinking very hard about today.


Comment of the Day: How Did Houston Change from Townhomes to Apartments?
I see it too, but if you look carefully, most of the new businesses will cater to the Gulfton community and hispanic population in general. Although it might be financially viable, I do not see the Washington Doucheoisie switching to Richmond.
If that part of Richmond strip ever comes back, it will be years, if not decades. That area was hopping when I graduated high school but by the time I got back from college in the mid-late 90's, it was already slipping downhill.
I've always wondered how much longer Richmond Arms Pub can stay open. I haven't been there in a year or two, but I know it's probably the only continuously operating bar still open from those days.
Richmond @ Chimney Rock, both a Taco Cabana and a Jack in the Box have gone out of business in the last couple of years (across the street from each other), if Richmond can't hold on to those 2 businesses, the road is doomed….
I was actually at the Richmond Arms yesterday after work and it had a pretty good sized crowd. Certainly no worse than it's been in the past. Lots of people who look like they work in the Galleria or for an oil company.
The Gulfton Ghetto will consume the Richmond strip. Already pretty much barrio all around there.

Terrell Mullin is one of the most sought after makeup artist in the industry having worked with the likes of Angela Bassett, Jourdan Dunn, Eva Marcille, Serayah and Tamar Braxton. Best known for 'beating' a face and creating that flawless look, Mullin's impressive body of work speaks for itself.
With no formal training in hairstyling, Mullin got his big break at the young age of 18 when he was hired to work on the set of UPN's sitcom series, Moesha, starring R&B singer, Brandy Norwood.
Making a seamless transition to make-up, Mullin now lends his talents to the small screen, in addition to, cinema, runways and music tours. He boasts a host of celebrity clients to include actors, television personalities, musicians and top models for on-camera, red carpet and special engagement appearances. His work has also graced magazine covers and has been featured in publications such as People and Essence.
In 2013, Mullin broaden his career objectives when he was appointed creative director of R&B singer, television personality and actress, Tamar Braxton. In this vital role he lead concept forward for any work assigned to the artist. This included work on Braxton's WE Tv's reality television series, Tamar & Vince, second studio album Love & War and tour and Fox's syndicated talk show, The Real.
No stranger to touring, in 2016, Mullin took to the road for pop superstar Madonna's, Rebel Heart tour. He would return home to California where he would take on the dept. head position for Fox drama series, Rosewood. And currently his work can be viewed on NBC's comedy television series, A.P. Bio and VH1's America's Next Top Model. Always looking to break new grounds, Mullin announced his very first campaign for women's clothing brand, Evelyn & Bobbie, where he was credited for hair, make-up and his latest passion, photography.
In short, Terrell Mullin puts the 'artist' in make-up artist.

These are my very first french toasts! Believe it or not, I've never tasted french toasts before...until now!...and the dangerous part is that I really liked this recipe! As if I hadn't enough to control my sweet tooth now I add another recipe to my 'Favorites' list, hehe.
Since it was my first attempt and I wasn't sure of how sweet and oily/greasy these toasts will came out I decided to make the vegan version, much more lighter and healthier.
It's a quick recipe, perfect to enjoy on a sunday morning with fresh fruits and pure maple syrup. I love how my kitchen smells after making them, it brings me back memories of when I was a child and my parents took me to the fair, that sweet smell of cotton candy, waffles, crèpes, candied apples has always mesmerized me.
2 tbsp ground chia seeeds or flax meal.
6 slices approx. of whole wheat bread.
2 tbsp sunflower oil or light olive oil.
Blend bananas, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and flax meal in blender or food processor and pour mixture into a wide dish or pie plate.
Gently dip bread slices into the mixture, coating both sides well.
Fry in oil in medium-hot skillet until golden brown, about 2 or 3 minutes per side.
Serve with maple syrup and fresh fruits, like bananas and strawberries. Enjoy!
¡Otro beso grande para tí!
Wow, what a great idea! to try for a breakfast on Sunday morning...how much I love your recipes! a big hug e UN BESO!
Thanks a lot Ele! :-) I like to cook and bake special things for breakfast every sunday.
Woe woe woe. WHY did you have to post this when I just swore off bread for 2 weeks?! It look delish!
Beautiful blog & beautiful recipe!! My mom always used to make me french toast with strawberries and bananas but you make it look so gorgeous!


The Think Tank has been working to optimize reporting for their customers and create new, more efficient custom reports for unique requests. And in order to truly innovate when it comes to company-wide analysis and reporting efficiency, they've been using updated processes to go beyond the traditional way of thinking.
Basic reports often begin as a fairly hard-to-interpret spreadsheet – but for the Think Tank, that data is merely the starting point. They've been working together to create new reports that put data together in an actionable way, make it more easily digestible and very easy for the customer to access, analyze, and put to work for their business.
This enhanced way of reporting allows for personalized reports for each and every customer that clearly aligns with their business goals. As a result of this new method, reports that used to take an hour to set up and now take around 10 minutes, and those that took around three hours now take only 40 minutes. And since the inception of the Think Tank, these ideas have spread, driving new ways of automating previously tedious reporting systems. Their enhanced value delivery and project analysis ensures that this team truly is "turning over every rock looking for value" for the customer.
One customer was able to both reduce time spent on reporting and realize best-in-class OTIF reporting.
Another customer reduced time consumption and improved visualizations for a suite of reporting. This resulted in more easily-identifiable trends and more productive meetings that get to the heart of what matters to the customer and drive concrete action.
The Think Tank continues to focus on putting actionable business intelligence and analytics to work for the customer, all while maintaining a human aspect to this newly automated process. The automation and technical setup of the reporting is only the first part of the equation – people who are thinking critically are integral as they innovate new, creative ways of providing excellence to the customer.
Could the reporting in your organization be more efficient?

Q: Isomorphic function fields of projective curves, bijection of points. Suppose curves $C$, $D \in \mathbb{CP}^2$ are nonsingular. If their function fields are isomorphic, i.e. $K_C \cong K_D$, then do we necessarily have a bijection of points on $C$ and $D$? Can we do stronger and say something like $C$ and $D$ are necessarily isomorphic as ringed spaces? How can one intuitively arise at an answer to this question?
EDIT: It would be nice if I got an answer that did not talk about birational equivalence or manifolds...

A: It can be shown that two algebraic varieties are birationally equivalent if and only if their function fields are isomorphic.
In particular, two non-singular projective curves are birationally equivalent if and only they are isomorphic. You can prove this by observing that by Serre's GAGA a non-singular projective complex curve is just a (holomorphic) compact connected complex manifold $C$ of dimension $1$. In particular, by the maximum principle you can uniquely extend a morphism defined on an open, dense subset $U$ of $C$ to the whole of $C$.


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 27, 2011) - Until now, the 50 million stressed-out Canadians and Americans who pack up and move each year have had few efficient, eco-friendly moving solutions. Vancouver-based FROGBOX, www.frogbox.com, which provides reusable plastic moving boxes and supplies, wants to make hassle-free, affordable and eco-friendly moving the norm in North America's major cities. The company hopes to attract a chunk of the billion-dollar moving market, and has secured capital from several big name and big money investors to help make it happen. The expansion will focus on selling a limited number of franchises to well-qualified candidates in major cities.
Currently operating in Vancouver, Seattle and Toronto, and recently named one of North America's "hot startups" by Entrepreneur Magazine, FROGBOX has now attracted two of Canada's most respected entrepreneurs - Jim Treliving and W. Brett Wilson, who have invested $200,000. Treliving is Chairman and owner of Boston Pizza International and Wilson is an investment banker and Chairman of Canoe Financial, a privately owned investment management firm. Both are panelists on the CBC television show Dragons' Den where FROGBOX made its successful pitch. Other investors include George Melville, who invested with Treliving and shares the title of Chairman and owner of Boston Pizza International, and Mike Tattersfield, CEO of Caribou Coffee, the second largest coffee chain in the US, who injected an additional $50,000.
"These investors bring not only capital, but also a wealth of experience in franchising and marketing," says FROGBOX founder Doug Burgoyne, who also holds an MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business. "With their help we're well-positioned to attract quality franchisees to the team and bring our service to more North American cities."
"Doug has done a great job of creating a strong brand and a business concept that is perfect for franchising," said Treliving. "Given the size of the market, this business has huge growth potential," added Wilson. "That's why I'm in."
For more information about FROGBOX services, pricing, and franchise opportunities, please visit www.frogbox.com.
FROGBOX offers a convenient, affordable and eco-friendly alternative to the $5 billion North American cardboard moving box industry. They deliver reusable plastic boxes to individuals and businesses that are moving and then pick them up empty at the customer's new locations. As part of its commitment to the environment, FROGBOX routes their delivery trucks based on delivery location, uses waste stream bio-diesel and donates 1% of sales to local frog habitat restoration projects.

Nintendo Direct delayed due to Hokkaido earthquake
Today's scheduled Nintendo Direct has been delayed to a further date due to an earthquake that struck the Japanese island of Hokkaido earlier today. The magnitude 6.7 tremor has buried homes under landslides, caused millions to lose power, and inflicted at least eight deaths. This comes after a season of catastrophic weather across the country, including a typhoon this week that knocked the "N" off the Nintendo logo on their company headquarters in Kyoto.
Due to the powerful earthquake in Hokkaido, Japan, we have decided to delay this week's planned Nintendo Direct. We will provide a new time and date in the near future. Thank you for your understanding. pic.twitter.com/IITgJFtzub
— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) September 6, 2018
Nintendo announced the delay just after midnight PST. They plan to announce a new time/date "in the near future." Our hearts go out to those affected by the earthquake, and we can only wish a speedy recovery to the afflicted regions.

Ask someone who has developed in the Income Industry in excess of fifteen years about changes in the market and you will probably get two different solutions.
One group will claim that, using the invention from the Internet, the has "developed." Another group might point to that, using the recent tough economy, the originates full circle.
Both groups could be correct even though they approach the from different sights.
By "Traditional" I am talking about an advisor that largely conducts their business offline. They've already a "web siteInch but it's really only a virtual store that teaches you exist.
The "referral" method happens to be exactly the same. It's a face-to-face relationship building exercise that, lacking "reverse marketing," is non-stop networking. Build solid associations and also the business can come.
Newspaper is continuing to grow through the years – so has got the competition. Anybody are able to place an advert right alongside yours. The current day consultant must be in a number of states to benefit from multiple condition prices.
Lastly, junk mail has already established probably the most advances through the years. Despite the fact that your company might not "exist" on the web, many leads (or at best their information) can be found. There are lots of services to help you have the addresses and names of qualified leads for junk mail campaigns – therefore helping you save money and time.
The "Online" consultant may do most of the things a conventional consultant does however the large number of leads originate from Internet related activities. It's here where substantial advancements happen to be made.
To begin with, you are able to pay to appear first. Similar to purchasing a larger advertisement inside a newspaper, you are able to pay Yahoo or google to exhibit your website first (or perhaps in the very best 2 or 3). It's known as Pay-Per-Click. You pay a charge if a person "clicks" in your website. Although there's no guarantee of the deal, there's an implied guarantee of leads (or traffic).
People on the web are searching for information. You'll want a content wealthy site that provides prospects plenty to see. If your internet site is only a "sales brochure" site meaning there's simply some company info, telephone number, and current email address – you have to depend around the advertising techniques utilized by the standard Consultant.
The way you manage your data is equally as essential as getting it. There are lots of Internet "methods" that will help your website increase website traffic. The Internet Consultant must be up to date around the latest and many effective Internet practices.
The Internet Consultant should also keep in touch with potential and existing clients. This really is frequently handled by ongoing communication including emails, blogs, an internet-based eletters.
Can you really make use of the techniques of both on the internet and the standard consultant within the income notes business? Yes, provided you bear in mind the message must concentrate on the audience. Within the next ten years probably the most effective income brokers will probably be the consultants that combine the very best techniques of both on the internet and traditional note brokers.

Q: Mongo-Hadoop streaming I'm new to Mongodb and Hadoop. I'm trying to access mongodb data as input to hadoop mapreduce job. i don't quite know how to specify which collection to use to get data from. this is what i tried:
hadoop jar/usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.6.0/libexec/share/hadoop/tools/lib/hadoop-streaming-2.6.0.jar

-output user/test/output/
-inputformat com.mongodb.hadoop.mapred.MongoInputFormat
-outputformat com.mongodb.hadoop.mapred.MongoOutputFormat
-io mongodb
-D mongo.input.uri=mongodb://localhost/my_dbs.collectionName

-mapper /Users/wordcountMapper.py
-reducer /Users/wordcountReducer.py
-libjars /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.6.0/libexec/share/hadoop/tools/lib/mongo-hadoop-streaming.jar

But i get the following error:
ERROR streaming.StreamJob: Unrecognized option: -D
Usage: $HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/hadoop jar hadoop-streaming.jar [options]

and when i tried this, i get another error:
 hadoop jar /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.6.0/libexec/share/hadoop/tools/lib/hadoop-streaming-2.6.0.jar
-input user/input/

`ERROR streaming.StreamJob: Unrecognized option: -libjars
Usage: $HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/hadoop jar hadoop-streaming.jar [options]`

Please help.

A: Please check this link for better idea on how to connect MongoDB to Hadoop.
Edit:
or,
Instead of giving jar with -libjars option, you can directly write it in your driver program as:
args.add("-libjars");
args.add("/some/path/to/your/jar");

Best and worst from 2019 College football regular season
by KCOU Sports
The 2019 NCAA football regular season and conference championships are in the books. This college football season was one to remember. From Joe Burrow's ascension to another year of Alabama kickers, Conference title, sports director Garrett Jones takes a look back the highs and lows.
Best moments:
Sep. 22: UCLA 67, Washington State 63– 1,077 passing yards. 14 passing touchdowns. 130 total points. That's not the boxscore from a game of NCAA Football 14 on PlayStation 3- those are numbers from UCLA's first conference win of the season in September. It was also No. 19 Washington State's first loss of the season. Everything about this game was peak Pac-12 after dark. Oh, and by the way- UCLA overcame a 32-point deficit in the third.
Nov. 23: Florida International 30, Miami 24– Texas is not back- but Miami is DEFINITELY not back. The Hurricanes took a significant blow to whatever progress was made in Manny Diaz's first year as head coach in the program's first ever loss to FIU. Moreover? This game was played at Marlins Park- a palace of mediocrity- and the site of the former Orange Bowl.
Nov. 30: Alabama's doink– Alabama kickers just can't figure it out. In another classic installment of the Iron Bowl, Auburn got the edge this year at home with a 48-45 win. After the Tigers roared ahead with the help of two pick sixes in the game, Alabama kicker Joseph Bulovas had a chance to tie the game. He missed. Badly. Another infamous doink- and another notch on the Crimson Tide's legacy of kicking failure.
Under-the-radar improvements:
Kansas State– In Chris Kileman's first season at head coach, Kansas State took leaps and bounds with a road win over Southeastern Conference opponent Mississippi State in September to get to 3-0, topping Oklahoma in October- the Sooners' only current loss. They also topped Iowa State to get to 8-4 in the final week of the regular season. Bill Snyder's exit came at the right time- the Wildcats are trending up.
North Carolina– Led by Mack Brown, the Tar Heels started the season off with a bang thanks to a huge win over rival South Carolina, albeit a Gamecocks team that finished 4-8. Still, for a program that lost all its momentum in Larry Fedora's final season as head coach, a six-win season with a one-point September home loss against Clemson is tangible progress.
Indiana– The Hoosiers reached eight wins for the first time since 1993, and head coach Tom Allen received a much-deserved contract extension. Indiana lost every game they should have against No. 6 Ohio State, No. 13 Michigan, No. 9 Penn State and a ranked Michigan State team at the time, but took care of every game they should have including an overtime win over rival Purdue. The Hoosiers have a chance to break the plane and prove its supremacy over Tennessee in its first bowl game since 2016.
Illinois– Finally, tangible signs of improvement in Lovie Smith's fourth season. The team improved from four to six wins this season, culminating with an upset win over No. 6 Wisconsin in October. It also grabbed a huge road win over Michigan State, and have a chance to win its first bowl game since 2011 in the RedBox bowl against California.
Biggest disappointments:
Missouri– This one might hit a little too close to home. When the 2019 schedule was released, Missouri fans clamored for an 8-1 start or bust. Instead, Missouri got a season-opening loss to a Wyoming team that ended up 7-5, only to rebound with five straight wins, followed by five straight losses. This roller-coaster ride wasn't smooth enough to save Barry Odom's job. Graduate transfer quarterback Kelly Bryant didn't bust, but 16 total touchdowns in an injury-plagued season didn't help the Tigers' case, either.
Army– Coming off a 11-2 season that included a 70-point offensive output in a bowl win, Jeff Monken's squad entered 2019 with sky-high expectations. Those took a hit in a handcuffed season-opening win 14-7 win over lowly Rice. The Black Knights bounced back with a near win in an overtime classic at the Big House against Michigan, but came up just short. Disappointing losses to Western Kentucky, Georgia State and San Jose State led to a 5-7 record, but Army has a chance to bounce back Saturday against rival Navy on a national stage.
Central Florida– 2019 was the season for the Black Knights to break out on a national stage. They entered the regular season ranked and had palpable momentum going into the year. That dissipated quickly with upset road losses to Cincinnati and Tulsa- losses many fans pinned on head coach and former Missouri offensive coordinator Josh Heupel. No one would complain if UCF can finish off a 10-win season, but it was still less than enough for many in the fanbase.
The absolute worst:
Akron– The 0-12 Zips take the cake for the absolute worst FBS team this season. They bookended the regular season with a 42-3 loss in the opener, and a 52-3 loss to Ohio in its season finale. Everything in between was forgettable. Akron put up a measly 12.3 points per game- the lowest total in the FBS. There's no room for an offseason hangover- the Zips travel to Death Valley to play Trevor Lawrence and Clemson Sep. 19.
Players that deserve attention, but won't get it:
Evan Weaver, California LB– Don't let his jersey number fool you- Weaver isn't a mediocre tight end. He led the FBS with 172 total tackles. He buoyed a Cal team that peaked at No. 15 in the AP rankings. After QB Chase Garbers' season ended, the Golden Bears lost all their momentum- but are still in a position to win the RedBox bowl in late December largely thanks to Weaver's play on defense.
Omar Bayless, Arkansas State WR– Bayless is probably the best NFL draft prospect you've never heard of. Even with questions at the quarterback position in Blake Anderson's offense, he still found ways to get open. He racked up 1,473 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns on the way to a second-team All-American selection. His gaudy numbers paired with a 6-foot-3, 207 lb. frame will likely be convincing enough for an NFL team to take a chance on him in the later rounds.
Funniest moments:
Dino Babers and Hugh Freeze's interaction– In what was a scary situation in late August, Liberty first-year head coach Hugh Freeze was limited to coaching from a hospital bed due to a staph infection. Fortunately, Freeze recovered, but after Syracuse and head coach Dino Babers shut out the Flames 24-0, instead of the customary postgame handshake, Babers resorted to a friendly gesture toward Freeze in the press box, a bizarre scene that had to be seen to be believed.
Ty Storey returns to top Arkansas- As a college football pundit and fan of under-the-radar games, I was excited when Arkansas scheduled Western Kentucky for a home game this season. I thought the Hilltoppers would be able to give them a good fight. I was even more excited when I saw former Razorback starting QB Ty Storey decided to transfer to WKU for his final season of eligibility. This storyline spelled disaster for Arkansas from the jump, and Hog fan's worst nightmares were realized- Storey scored 3 touchdowns on the way to a 45-19 win in Fayetteville.
Heisman Moment:
If I had a Heisman vote, it'd go to LSU's Joe Burrow- with Chase Young as my second-place option. Once an aftethought Ohio State transfer, Burrow and passing game coordinator Joe Brady completely transformed his game on the way to a record-shattering 13-0 season in which he broke the Southeastern Conference record for passing touchdowns in a single season with 48. His Heisman moment came with the SEC Championship game still in the balance- throwing a strike after avoiding two Travon Walker tackles. Aptly described as "Joe Houdini" by CBS' Brad Nessler.

For obvious reasons, direct expressions of protest during slavery were dangerous. Yet, it is very clear that some of the songs created by enslaved people served as expressions of protest. Creators of the songs went to considerable lengths to disguise the true meaning of the lyrics. For those within the enslaved community, however, the meanings were very clear. The best example of a protest spiritual is the song commonly called "I Got Shoes," but also known as "Heav'n, Heav'n."
