"A dire situation:" Animal shelter over capacity as owners can no longer afford pets
By Zach Solon
Published: Dec. 7, 2022 at 5:38 PM EST
PENDER COUNTY, N.C. (WECT) - More than 100 animals up for adoption in Pender County are anxiously waiting for a forever home. In the meantime, they are staying at the overcrowded Pender County Animal Shelter.
Shelter Manager Jewell Horton says the shelter has seen an influx of animals being brought in due to economic impacts and owners being unable to afford to take care of their pets. This means the shelter now has more dogs and cats than it does cages.
"Being a municipal shelter we're open admission, which means we don't get to turn away what our citizens bring to us," Horton said. "Only having, you know, 50 dog cages and 50 cat cages and not being able to tell people no, it does create a dire situation."
Pender County is not alone as the impacts of inflation have hit pet owners hard. This has created a crisis at animal shelters because of capacity limits.
"Last week we accepted 31 cats just from one individual because she had lost her home and had, you know, found herself living with her cats in a less-than-ideal situation," Horton said. "We were already over capacity with cats anyway and then when you bring in an additional 31, that really tips the scales to a critical point for us."
Rosey Milazzo with Rosey's Rescue in Pender County says the pets are feeling the pressure, too.
"Unfortunately we're not doing any adoptions lately, so we haven't been able to help them get any dogs," Milazzo said. "This past year has been really hard. We have one dog that's been there for 14 months."
Horton says if you are looking to bring home a pet for the holidays, make sure you are aware of the cost and responsibility and make sure you have the necessary resources and funds available.
"We don't want people to come here and buy a Christmas present pet," said Horton. "We want you to come get an animal because you're prepared to take on that emotional and financial obligation."
It has been years since the Pender County shelter had to euthanize animals because of space. Horton hopes the situation will not get to that point.
There are laws and statutes that we have to follow for space requirements," Horton said. "And so there is a critical tipping point that if we can't follow those guidelines, that euthanasia for space could be a problem and that's not somewhere we want to be."
If you are looking to adopt a pet from the Pender County Animal Shelter, you can visit the shelter's website.

Bulldogs honor WCHS history at Athletics Hall of Fame induction ceremony

Peter Menke, the WCHS Athletic Director from 1989 to 1997, began the school's Athletics Hall of Fame in 1995. Nearly 25 years later, WCHS inducted its fourth class, and honored the man who started it all.
According to current WCHS Athletic Director Jesse Smith, Menke started the Hall of Fame to encourage and inspire athletes. Menke believed that sports create healthy habits that will last a lifetime. Menke's daughter, Samantha, accepted the award in honor of her father, who passed away in 2011.
WCHS's class of 2019 Athletics Hall of Fame celebration was held on Saturday, Oct. 26th at Positano Ristorante Italiano in Bethesda, Md.
Although the date was a bit unlucky for die-hard Nationals fans due to the World Series game happening that evening, the WCHS Booster Club and Athletics Department put together a memorable evening for the inductees. (And attendees were home in time to see the Astros win game four.)
This year's inductees included Audrey M. Gariepy-Bogui (track '07), Devin Kay (golf '06), Erin McManus (track '08), Larry Bellamy (football '75), Louise Hannallah Bayly (track '08), Morgan Hatten (basketball '04), Pat Fisher (coach and AD), Pete Menke (AD) and Craig "Stu" Stewart (community).
The varsity girls basketball teams of 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 were also honored along with their coaches: Pat Fisher, Christopher Campbell, Ed Peterson and Lauren McCabe Dommel.
There were roughly 95 attendees at the dinner, and people all around were reconnecting and hugging. The celebration included WCHS alumni, their families and supporters sharing their favorite WCHS sports memories. For some, it had been nearly 20 years since they had connected in person.
"It's incredible to see how much has changed and how little has changed," state basketball champion Stephanie Holland said, who graduated from WCHS 17 years ago. "It's been a while since we've been in high school but it was such a formative part of our lives so it was just wonderful to hear everyone's memories and accomplishments and to see where they are today."
Three track student-athletes: Gariepy-Bogui, McManus and Hannallah Bayly were inducted as well. Gariepy-Bogui, a record setting high jumper, was named Montgomery County Athlete of the Decade (2000-2009), was a four-time Washington Post All-Met Athlete and went on to compete at Villanova University. McManus was the 2008 Class Valedictorian, Nike Indoor Track All-American and went on to run at Vanderbilt University along with Bayly. Bayly was named the Maryland Gatorade Athlete of the Year and still holds the school record in the 3200 meters, which she won the state championship title for in '07 and '08 indoor track.
"It's a deserving group," head of indoor/outdoor track and assistant cross country coach Scott Silverstein said. "I think the best part is that they all got in together. It's great to see how successful they are, not just in athletics but in life."
Known for his contagious smile and character, Larry Bellamy, who graduated from WCHS in 1975, was acknowledged for being a member of the school's first state championship football team in addition to being named to the All-County team his senior year.
As an athletic director, Menke fought for the equality of girls' sports. There is an annual award at the Paul IV Catholic High School in Fairfax, (where he also worked as an athletic director) named after him that is given to a student who shows the same characteristics he is remembered for: fairness, honesty, positivity and loyalty.
Menke started the Hall of Fame event almost 25 years ago and his tradition still carries on today, bringing WCHS athletes together again to celebrate all of their contributions and accomplishments.
"Everyone was so excited to see each other, a lot of people had not seen their friends in years and watching them interact during the informal parts of the evening was very heartwarming and just really special," WCHS Booster Club president Draga Dubick said. "I think that was the best part."

Re: 2019-2020 Women's DI, II & III College Lacrosse Season [Re: TheBackOfTheCage] #292369
-- "Why is it unacceptable for Duke but not any other school? Why is Duke Women's lacrosse in a different category than so many others?" --
Several reasons come to mind. Duke is a Top 10 Academic Institution, They Compete in the ACC, The University fully funds and supports the program, The Program has Admission Slots, Beautiful Campus, Great Weather, Easy to get to from Hot Bed areas, Up until the past 3 years the program was consistently Top 10.
Re: 2019-2020 Women's DI, II & III College Lacrosse Season [Re: Anonymous] #292374
Correct. Duke has a ton of inherent advantages that should lead to a very successful program. Look at their counterparts on the Men's side. The school supports these programs wholeheartedly. There's no reason that Princeton and Penn are stronger programs than Duke. How has Stony Brook become more successful than Duke? How has USC become more successful when east coast girls have to go all the way out there? How did Florida become more successful?
There's no excuse for what's gone on at Duke over the last 4 years and the school is running out of patience. A great replacement is now on staff and it would be an easy enough transition. If Duke struggles again I believe the change will be made.
The two biggest factors in a programs long term success are: Coaching and talent. The best coaches constantly identify the best players, convince those players to become a part of their program, coach and develop the players and create a culture that is constantly successful.
Duke was one of those programs but it looks like they have fallen off a bit the past few years. What changed? Are they not bringing in the talent? Did an important assistant coach move on? Did the fact that Duke did not aggressively jump on the band wagon of early recruiting? Duke should absolutely be one of the Top 10 - 15 Programs.
looking at the situation (without inside knowledge of the program) I think they missed out on too much talent during the 3 - 4 year stretch of "early recruiting". If they missed on 1 or 2 Top Recruits per year during that time frame it would be enough to hurt their program just enough to keep them out of that top group of 10 - 15 Programs. For sure it would keep them out of the top 4 - 6 programs.
It seams to me that the coaches at the top programs are able to identify the best players and then convince the players to choose to attend their school. When you look at the top programs it is easy to see why the coaches at those schools can land the best talent. The Duke coaches have everything they need in order to compete for the top recruits. Not so easy for many other programs.
Big year for The Blue Devils.
cltlax
Didn't the current Elon Head Coach leave Duke in 2012?
Dont think they make the tournament again .
Is Michigan for real? Was last year a fluke?
Why? What's so special about Duke?
Why the focus on Duke. The same can be said about UVA, ND (until this year), Hopkins...
Interestingly Duke just slipped two in the rankings for top schools. They were #8, tied with Penn, Penn moved up to #6, Duke to 10, now tied with Hopkins. I would rather see by kid go to Penn which is a better school, has great lacrosse , and is close enough to drive to easily.
No, it can't be said about UVA and Notre Dame. Hopkins is a very good program but they were not at the level that Duke.
UVA is one of the Top 10 Programs and ND is right there as well. Notre Dame finished outside the Top 20 maybe once in the past 5 or six years. Duke has not finished ranked in the Top 20 for the past three years. Not too long ago Duke was consistently a Top 10 finisher. Hopkins has finished the season in the Top 20 five times in the past 10 years
2010 - #20
2011 - Not ranked
2018 - Not top 20... (ranked 21)
Hopkins is a very good program and an excellent school. They are certainly one of the top 20 -25 programs in the country. ND and UVA a little bit stronger in terms of lacrosse.
For whatever reason Duke has fallen off a bit the past few years. IMHO Duke missed out on some top recruits during the Hey Day of early recruiting. While other Top 10 programs were locking up their top recruits Duke was sitting on the sideline. Three or four additional studs on the roster and Duke would have been back in the Top 10. Even one dominant player can make a difference at a program like Duke.
Pretty sure they will be back in the mix this year but if not the coach is probably in trouble.
Okay, Duke didn't recruit your daughter, everyone sees through this silliness. Move in.
Lol, so many better places to go. Duke Womans lacrosse will always be losers. School went downhill and took the lax team along. Have fun!
Thanks for your insight. Now tell us all what we should move onto? Bashing players perhaps? The Duke situation is interesting. What caused the downturn?
You have been posting this Duke nonsense repeatedly. Why? Tell us your odd obsession with Duke. It screams "snub". I'm just hoping that your daughter is over it. Because you're certainly not.

Thanks for address my discuss!
1) sec 3: I really find it a bit strange that there is normative language about error handling (as well as in the "same service instance" definition part) in the terminology section. Maybe move those paragraphs somewhere else...? Also the part about "long-lived operations" and messages types provides far more information than just terminology and I would recommend to also move it into an own section or maybe just have it as part of the intro.
2) Maybe call section 5 "Protocol specification" instead of "Protocol details"...?
above in the Terminology section (Section 3)."
I don't get this. Which part of section 3? Given section 3 is on terminology and this is a normative statement, I would recommend to spell out here explicitly what is meant. Do you mean the protocol must be connection-oriented, reliable, and providing in-order delivery? Any thing else? However, given that you say two paragraphs onwards that this spec is only applicable for the use with TCP and TLS/TCP, do you even need to specify these requirements normatively?
service type names ending in "-tls"."
Not sure this is true. Isn't it usually just an "s" at the end? Or with registry are you talking about?
that both client and server support DSO, ..."
I guess the client and server also need to know if TLS is supported or not. Maybe spell this out as well.
client or server may be the initiator of a message."
message to confirm successful establishment of a DSO session."
"Similarly, DSO supports zero round-trip operation." is describing quite the same.
can occur with zero round-trip operation."
"DSO messages sent with TLS1.3 0-RTT before the TLS handshake is completed or in TCP SYN data with use of TCP Fast Open MUST be idempotent."
However, this is actually already required by TLS1.3 and TFO, so there is after all no need to just rephrase this requirement here (at least not normatively). I think it would be more useful for every DSO message type to specify if it can be sent in 0-RTT or not and require this for specification of future TLVs.
session, any such session MUST be treated as a separate session."
This sentence seems a bit non-sensical, which probably isn't great for a normative sentence. If a session is terminated and open of the other end, doesn't that mean that you have two sessions?
not be able to behave incorrectly."
I'm not sure I understand this sentence. Can you clarify?
11) As already briefly mentioned by Ben, there is quite some redundant text in sec 5 (with 5.2) for handling of message IDs and TLVs. Given this text is normative, I would really recommend to only specify it clearly once. Please also check the rest of the doc further things that are specified normatively multiple times. It usually makes it must clearer to specify it only once, at least normatively, at the appropriate position in the doc.
12) sec 5.3.1: "When a DSO unacknowledged message is unsuccessful for some reason, .."
What does unsuccessful mean here? Can you clarify?

This bullet point does not really make sense to me because at that time when the app is crashed there is no way for the server anymore to perform any actions.
preferred values each time. "
I don't understand the SHOULD here.. what else should be client put in these field instead...?
16) sec 7.1: "The Keepalive TLV is not used as an Additional TLV."
This is redundant with the normative sentence in the next paragraph. Maybe just remove this sentence...?
17) +1 to Ben's discuss regarding the reconnection of clients. A TCP RST can be sent for many reasons and waiting for an hour seems not appropriate. I would rather recommend to log an error and directly try to reconnect.
Thank you for resolving my Discuss points!

implementors or users of the protocol.
What is the status of running code for this? Are there any known and interoperable implementations? This is in the context of IETF 102 plenary discussion on implementations and interoperability.
Thanks for addressing my Discuss, and for considering my comments. I'll stick the Discuss text here for ease of archaeology.
What I would have expected to happen, is that the new endpoint sees a packet arrive that's not on a synchronized TCP connection, and immediately responds with a RST (reset), rather than the normal keepalive and TCP connection timeout process happening. That's also the way I'm reading https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7828#section-3.6. Is that not the way it's working for anycast these days?
Everything else is a comment, so non-blocking, and please do the right thing.
This is a nit, and your answer could be "no", and that's fine, but in some places this document uses "DSO keepalive", and in other places, "keepalive" with no qualifier. It's likely that less confusion would result if you could consistently call this "DSO keepalive", so that it is clearly NOT a TCP keepalive. Do the right thing, of course.
specified in an appropriate future document.
and noticing that https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-doh-dns-over-https-12 is currently in IETF Last Call.
seems fragile, especially in environments where clients can come and go, and servers may be addressed using anycast (so I knew in advance that the four servers at that anycast address supported DSO, but somebody installed a fifth server that does not). Is that unlikely to be a problem?
is correct from the server side, but perhaps it's also worth noting that using multiple TCP connections unnecessarily increases the chances that data transfers happen during TCP slow start. If only one or two packets are being exchanged, that doesn't matter, but as more packets are exchanged, the difference increases, because congestion windows will grow more rapidly if fewer connections are used.
I would love to know if there are any widely-available network APIs that include this capability, before including this text in a standards-track RFC. Do you need help chasing this down?
The text in 6.1. DSO Session Initiation seems rough to me, for a couple of reasons.
I don't understand why this would be a SHOULD. At least from the client's perspective, it's not needed for interoperation.
Is it correct to say that "responses to those messages SHOULD be sent when they become available, even if the responses are sent out of order"? If not, I'm probably missing what "when appropriate" means.
that they still have connectivity to each other.
I think the basics are correct - the inactivity timer and (DSO) keepalive interval are independent - but I'm struggling to think of a reason to send (DSO) keepalives that's NOT tied to maintaining NAT/firewall state, and there's a lot of text before the paragraph that mentions NAT/firewall, that talks about why either interval might be longer or shorter than the other, without considering NAT/firewall. Am I missing something here?
does a much better job of explaining how a (DSO) keepalive interval should be selected - I think you could reasonably delete most of the text about (DSO) keepalive intervals in section 6.2, and at most provide a forward pointer to 6.5.2.
"inactive", if it has an active operation that is awaiting events.
to be extremely helpful, but it's 28 pages into the document. Is there a place earlier in the document that describes these timers, where you could place this text? Maybe section 3/Terminology isn't the right place, but maybe there is a right place toward the front of the document.
forcibly abort the DSO Session.
Perhaps part of my confusion is that I'm not sure what it means to "consider the client delinquent", but NOT to "forcibly abort the DSO session". But there are several "will forcibly abort"s in section 6.4.2, that sound more like MUST than SHOULD.
is quite right. Given that you have a bulleted list of reasons why a server would violate the MUST not immediately following this sentence, you might want to say "Normally a server does not close" here.
SHOULD NOT issue further DSO messages on that connection."
Why is the SHOULD NOT not MUST NOT? Do you envision situations where it might make sense to violate the SHOULD NOT?
§5.1.2: Are there security considerations for using zero round trip handshakes?
By what? How would the ultimate endpoints know?
Doesn't that make extensibility difficult? What if an extension adds a new unacknowledged message type that uses a new primary TLV?
The SHOULD seems more like a MAY, unless you mean for implementors to go looking for reasons to do things out of order.
§6.4.1: Does "consider delinquent" entail any concrete actions beyond resetting the connection?
§12.2: It seems like TLS1.3 should be a normative reference, given that it's used to describe the condition for a normative statement.
- General: Please watch for comma splices.
-- " It is likely that future updates to these tools will add the ability to recognize, decode, and display the DSO data."
That sentence may not age well.
-- " A goal of this approach is to avoid the operational issues that have befallen EDNS(0), particularly relating to middlebox behaviour."
Is there something that can be cited to describe the operational issues?
§2: There's a fair amount of procedure, including normative statements, described in the terminology section. That would better reserved to the sections that are more about procedure. Some readers only use terminology sections to look up terms on demand; such users may miss the procedure bits.
§5.1, "DSO messages MUST be carried in only protocols "
"MUST ... only" constructions can be ambiguous. Consider reformulating into a "MUST NOT" construction.
-- 3rd paragraph: Should "stateless" be "stateful"?
§5.2.3, first paragraph: The MUST NOT seems more like a statement of fact.
> field set to zero, and MUST NOT elicit a response.
> as in the corresponding request.
where you said this? Is this just an error?
> recognize, decode, and display the DSO data.
compatibility implications for the two endpoints.
> TIME-WAIT state on the client rather than the server.
Does this mean that the server will ask the client to close?
> the server's listening socket.
> "server" in the usual DNS sense.
> messages". A DSO request message elicits a DSO response message.
This would be useful further up.
> excessive amount of keepalive traffic is used.
over-QUIC unless you use one stream only.
> SHOULD NOT issue further DSO messages on that connection.
Why is this a SHOULD and not a MUST?
> can occur with zero round-trip operation.
Are you going to make a recommendation here?

Why not require this to be 0, then?
1) In addition to the bullet point in the 6.2 that was flagged by Spencer, I would like to discuss the content of section 5.4. (DSO Response Generation). I understand the desire to optimize for the case where the application knows that no data will be sent as reply to a certain message, however, TCP does not have a notion of message boundaries and therefore cannot and should not act based on the reception of a certain message. Indicating to the TCP that an ACK can be set immediately in an specific situation is also problematic as ACK processing is part of the TCP's internal machinery. However, why it is important at all that an TCP-level ACK is send out fast than the delayed ACK timer? The ACK receiver does not expose the information when an ACK is received to the application and the delayed ACK timer only expires if no further data is received/send by the ACK-receiver, therefore this optimization should not have any impact in the application performance. I would just recommend to remove this section and any additional discussion about delayed ACKs.
Please note that the problem described in [NagleDA] only occurs for request-response protocols where no further request can be sent before the response is received. This is not the case in this protocol (as pipelining is supported).
This does not seems correct. There should be at max one keep-alives message in flight. Thus the keep-laives timer should only be restarted after the keep-alive reply was received.
This doesn't really make sense to me: As I said, TCP will retransmit and the keep-alive timer should not be running until the reply is received. If you want to abort the connection based on keep-alives quickly before the TCP connection indicates you a failure, you need to wait at minimum for an interval that is larger than the TCP RTO (with is uaually 3 RTTs) which means you basically need to know the RTT.
server will forcibly abort the connection."
Why must the server terminate the connection at all if the client refuses to send keep-alives? Isn't that what the inactivity timer is meant for? Usually only the endpoint that initiates the keep-alive should terminate the connection if no response is received.
which indicates that the client may leave the session open longer than indicated by the inactive timer of the server.
However section 7.1.1 say that the client MUST close the connection when the timer is expired.
1) In addition to the bullet point in the 6.2 that was flagged by Spencer, I would like to discuss the content of secton 5.4. DSO Response Generation. I understand the desire to optmize for the case where the application knows that no data will be sent as reply to a certain message. However, TCP does not have a notion of message boundaries and therfore cannot and should not act based on the reception of a certain message.

1) sec 3: I really find it a bot strange that there is normative language about error handling (as well as in "same service instance" definition) in the terminology section. Maybe move those paragraphs somewhere else...? Also the part about "long-lived operations" and messages types provides far more information than just terminology and I would recommend to also move it into an own section or maybe just have it as part of the intro.
"Similarly, DSO supports zero round-trip operation." is descibing quite the same.
11) As already briefly mentioned by Ben, there is quite some redundant text in sec 5 (with 5.2) for handling of message IDs and TLVs. Given this text is normative, I would really recommend to only specify it clearly once.

Thank you for this document, I find it to be well written and useful.

may be that I am just reading the "refrain from reconnecting for an hour"
more strongly than I should be.
graceful shutdown messages from a properly-behaving client in time.
I'm not sure that the behavior specified in Section 7.1.2 is entirely safe.
behavior explicitly, but that seems like the right sort of thing to do.
does a much better job of explaining how a (DSO) keepalive interval should be selected - I think you could reasonably delete most of the text about (DSO keepalive intervals in section 6.2, and at most provide a forward pointer to 6.5.2.

NAB announced on 15th October it would be abolishing more bank fees on customer accounts. Fees to be abolished include current $4 and $5 monthly account service fees on NAB's most popular everyday personal transaction accounts: Classic and e-Banking.
There is no asterisk, no disclaimers and no rule requiring customers to make a minimum monthly deposit. The fees will be abolished with effect from January 22, 2010.
Monthly account service fees are one of the most unpopular fees charged by banks, and commonly cost customers between $3 and $10 a month, or up to $120 a year, and more than 860,000 NAB customers will benefit from the decision to abolish these fees.
Today's announcement means monthly account service fees will be abolished or waived for around 97% of all NAB personal transaction account customers.
Monthly account service and a range of transaction fees will also be abolished on 10 other transaction and savings accounts with effect from January 22, 2010.
This will mean the only personal transaction account with a monthly account service fee will be NAB's premium Gold Banking product which provides extra benefits like purchase protection, overseas travel insurance and no NAB fees on overseas transactions.
If you would like more information on banking in Australia or opening an account before you leave the UK, please contact the NAB Migrant Banking team on 0208 6149 320 or email migrant.banking@eu.nabgroup.com.

Q: Determine if RPT schedule is runing using command line? Anyone know if its possible to query a Rational Performance Tester 'Controller' from command line and determine if a schedule is executing?
I'm aware that you can query Agents using commands below, but if a RPT schedule fails for some reason the agent process usually continues to be active. Meaning, although a result is returned on Agent, the Controller may not be driving the workload.

A peine j'ouvre les yeux
Leyla Bouzid
Set on the eve of Tunisia's Jasmine Revolution, the first feature from director Leyla Bouzid follows an up-and-coming underground band as they are pulled in all directions by creative energy, authoritarian oppression, and rebellion. As I Open My Eyes (À peine j'ouvre les yeux) gives us a look at Tunisian youth on the eve of the Jasmine Revolution as they are pulled in all directions by conflicting forces: disenchantment, fear, creativity, rebellion against dictatorship, rejection of conservatism, and the courage to pursue their desires. Farah (Baya Medhaffer) is a young woman at a crossroads. Her medical-school application has just been accepted, and nothing could please her mother, Hayet (Ghalia Benali), more - but Farah's passion is for music, and her underground band is just beginning to get noticed. Their music blends rock with daring lyrics that have the raw poetry of spoken word. Soon enough, the police are alerted to the band's subversive performances and begin to harass them, and when Farah is detained and interrogated, she realizes that one of her friends is a snitch.

The Dove's Lost Necklace (1991)
Nacer Khemir
This fairy tale tells the story of Hassan, a young man who is taught calligraphy by his master. One day he runs across a portion of an old text which convinces him that it holds the secrets to love. With the help of an impudent young boy and the boy's monkey (whom the boy thinks is an enchanted prince), Hassan sets out to find the rest of the manuscript. What he finds instead is the beauteous Aziz. Despite their being separated by war, they are soon reunited. This film takes us in the midst of a time when djinns and visions were still, real. In its world we discover the peaceful coexistence of different cultures, religions and forms of life.
Kaouther Ben Hania
Sam Ali, a young sensitive and impulsive Syrian, left his country for Lebanon to escape the war. To be able to travel to Europe and live with the love of his life, he accepts to have his back tattooed by one of by the World's most sulfurous contemporary artist.

Les baliseurs du désert (1984)
It is in a village lost at the bottom of the desert, a young teacher was named, to teach, but there is no school. Through the yant glance foudro of a girl, our teacher is aspired by another world to the suspended time where côtoient Thousand and One Nights. Coordinate all the hidden force of an underground memory. One of the most beautiful desert movies, in which storyteller and painter Nacer Khemir tells us the journey of a young teacher that arrives in a desert village.
Sheherazade
The collected work known as "One Thousand and One Nights" survived for centuries through generations of Arab storytellers, and is now recognized as an integral part of world literature. In this filmed performance, storyteller/filmmaker Nacer Khemir sits on chair in the middle of a dimly lit stage and deploys the magic of words to take us on a journey of the imagination. This simple set-up may not seem like much, but it offers the listener an extraordinarily colorful experience and brilliantly emphasizes the oral nature of the work. As we listen to the expertly told stories, we are equally charmed by their intricacies and entranced by their interconnectedness. Even though Khemir illustrates some of the stories with beautifully filmed sequences, the audience's ability to listen is paramount here. Sheherazade used words to avoid impending death, Khemir uses the art of storytelling to breathe a new life into this ancient masterwork.
Le challat de Tunis
Tunisia, before the revolution. A man on a motorbike, razor blade in hand, prowls the streets of Tunis slashing women's buttocks. They call him The Challat, aka "The Blade", and the mere mention of his name provokes fascination and terror. Is he a lone criminal, an urban legend, or could he be the creation of a political group or religious fanatics? 10 years later, in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, a stubborn young female director sets out on an investigation to unravel the mystery and discover the true Challat of Tunis.

The Lobotomist's Dream: LaRouche! LaRouche! LaRouche is on Fire!
One way you can tell that a new semester has begun at Cal is that Upper Sproul Plaza is completely stuffed with solicitors...more so, that is. For the most part, they're just a group of innocent people: fellow students at the bottom rung of their respective groups, forced by their higher-ups to pass out flyers, even though they know 95% of people will take them with a smile, but throw them away with a sigh. I have no problem with these people, mainly because they know not to bother me. I have all the appropriate body language to keep them away from me: Ear buds firmly in place, hands in my pockets, no eye contact, and my shoulders turned ever so slightly away from them. All rational people see me, know I don't want a flyer, and respect that.
And then there's the LaRouche cult.
"Oh, you mean that Political Action Committee, don't you, Andrew."
No, Victor von Killsport, I mean the cult. The people involved with LaRouche could best be described as brainwashed. The majority of cult members in this area are former Cal students. Former. That's not to say they're alumni, of course. They dropped out to devote most of their time to Lyndon LaRouche and his...ahem...ideas.
The thing about the LaRouche lovers is, they're a lot more...persistent than other solicitors. For example, as I walking past their table, one of them grabbed my ear buds and literally pulled them out of my ears. I was flabbergasted.
Him: "Are you like George Bush? Trying to escape reality with an iPod?"
Me: "Don't touch me, LaRouche boy."
Him: "You know, he's trying to lead a Nazi Revolution to take over this country."
Him: "What, you're not worried about that?"
Me: "I'm more worried about folks who go around yanking on people's ear buds."
Him: "You must be a Republican."
Me: "No, but if I said I was, would you leave me alone?"
Him: "And let me guess, you're taking Economics this semester."
Me: "Hey, you're right about that. Have a cookie."
Him: "You know, we're trying to start a movement to overthrow the Economics department here."
Him: "Yes. Because they're teaching you the lies of the Old Economics."
Me: "And what lies would those be."
Him: "Well, you see, they teach you that there is scarcity in the world."
Him: "Don't you understand? There's not."
Him: "No. What's your problem?"
Me: "So you are claiming that all resources are unlimited."
Me: "So, time is not a limited resource."
Him: "Of course. Time is eternal."
Me: "That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking if time can be harnessed as a resource in an unlimited amount."
Him: "...Of course it can."
Me: "In the next two minutes, I can either jog a quarter-mile east, or I can jog a quarter-mile west. However, I can't jog both a quarter mile east and west, because I only have two minutes. That is time as a limited resource, LaRouche boy. That is economics."
Me: "So, you're telling me that with LaRouche's economics, you could do both?"
Me: "Then, please, do so. I never realized that Lyndon LaRouche was a quantum physicist able to bend the laws of nature, but if you can run a quarter-mile east and west in the next two minutes, I'll believe."
Him: "You can't possibly understand unless you attend one of our meetings. Would you like to sign up for our newsletter?"
Me: "I...no! Did you not hear a word I said?"
And I walked off, laughing all the while.
Hey my middle name's Victor. hey in your next-next blog can you write "Martinez" somewhere in there? or you can go with my other middle name "Philip Neri".
I think, in order to revitalize our economy, we must again go to war with Germany. hey, it worked like a charm last time. and even the time before that.
Isn't "you don't say." a question?
by the way this story you wrote is great! lol!
But I can bend the laws of nature. Well at least I DID bend the laws of nature. one time, while watching V for Vendetta in the theaters, I willed a sour cherry gummi-bear into existence. true story. the girl i was with can vouch for me. f.y.i. it was simply devine.


For the past month we had the opportunity to test and review ZVOX's new personal sound amplifier: VoiceBud VB20.
The Good: Overall device design (i.e. fit, ergonomics).
The Bad: Over-amplification of soft and medium sounds.
The Sound Worthy: It is very sleek looking and the volume button is easy to find for those without good finger dexterity.
If you are unsure whether you need a PSAP or a hearing aid, you can get a free consultation with a hearing aid specialist to find out which device is best for you.
Normally I would test a device against a specific individual's hearing loss.
In this instance I created a very common example audiogram to use in place of a specific patient.
You'll see below a high frequency moderate hearing loss, which is a common hearing loss configuration.
This (imaginary) person is likely experiencing difficulty with speech understanding in background noise and may also notice difficulty understanding TV, or on the phone.
If they are not already wearing a hearing aid, they will likely be looking for help soon.
The prescription of the hearing aid for soft (45dB input), medium (65dB input), and loud (80dB input) does not meet the NAL-NL2 prescriptive targets, which is the most widely used target standards for hearing aids. We can see this on the graph on the right (below).
The solid green line is loud input, the solid blue line is medium input, and the solid purple line is soft input. They should be close to the lines with the "x", but they are not close.
Also, from these measurements we can see that the hearing aid is overamplifying medium and soft sound inputs from 500-3000 Hz. The solid lines are well above the "x" lines as shown on the graph above.
The third thing we can see from the measurements on the graph on the left (above) is that the 4 programs provided in the hearing aid do not differ very much from each other in terms of gain. The solid purple line is no amplification at all, while the other 4 lines are the device in each program.
What I would expect from someone wearing this hearing aid is a report that sounds are too loud and/or the quality is "shrill" or "harsh".
The overamplification provided in the device may be too much for someone with even a moderate high frequency hearing loss.
As mentioned above I really do like the design of the PSAP.
For anyone with poor or lacking finger dexterity the volume button is in a convenient, easy to access place.
Would I recommend this PSAP?
If you take a look at our list of the best personal sound amplifiers, we ranked the ZVOX VB20 10th.
I'm a really big fan of the ZVOX company and have loved some of their other products in the past, but I think this PSAP is needs a little fine tuning.

Stunningly compact, the Power Mac (not Macintosh) G4 Cube came as a surprise, despite numerable contradictory rumors. Just 7.7″ square and a bit under 10″ tall – about the same height at the 2013 Mac Pro, but with a larger footprint – the Cube does everything the iMac DV does (except contain a monitor) – but with the same 450 MHz G4 processor as the Sawtooth Power Macintosh G4.
Like the iMac, the Cube is a quiet fanless machine cooled by convection. The hard drive, ports, and AirPort antenna are all built into the Cube, but the power supply and twin Harman Kardon spherical speakers are external. The Cube supports both digital and VGA displays using the same ATI video subsystem as the Power Mac – and it's on a 2x AGP slot, making it possible for serious gamers to replace the video card with something even better.
Best of all, the Cube shipped with Apple's incredible optical mouse, where the entire mouse acts as a button, and the 108-key keyboard, eliminating the need to immediately buy a better mouse and keyboard (which many iMac and G4 owners had been doing).
All the ports are on the bottom of the computer, although the DVD drive is unique in loading from the top.
In the final analysis, the Cube may have been the most computing power available in such a small amount of space at the time – and various 1 GHz and faster single- and dual-processor upgrades offer far more power than the original G4. Apple wouldn't provide a desktop with as small a footprint and G4 power until it introduced the Mac mini in 2005.
We consider the Cube a Limited Mac.
Requires Mac OS 9.0.4 through OS X 10.4 Tiger; 10.5 Leopard is not officially supported but will run. CD-RW version requires Mac OS 9.1 or later.
Hard drive: 20 GB 5400 rpm Ultra ATA/66 with 30, 40, and 60 GB options. Maximum IDE drive size is 128 GB without third-party support. See How big a hard drive can I put in my iMac, eMac, or Power Mac? for your options.
4x SuperDrive DVD±RW upgrade, MCE Technologies. $329 if replacing CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or CD-RW drive; $279 if replacing Combo drive or SuperDrive. 4x2x8x DVD, 24x24x24x CD. 2x DVD-RAM. 2 MB buffer.

Re-imagining the Mac Cube for the Intel Era, Dan Bashur, Apple, Tech, and Gaming, 2009.10.07. The Power Mac G4 Cube was one of Apple's most beautiful computers. Here's how Apple could resurrect the concept – and succeed this time.
Hands-on review – PowerLogix PowerCube, Macs Only!, 2003.11.25. Larger aluminum replacement case for Cube's acrylic enclosure permits larger video cards, faster CPU upgrades, better heat management.

Nakuru centre gives hope to gender based violence victims

Since the centre was opened, it has rehabilitated 600 female gender-based violence victims.
Started three years ago by Sister Patricia who is also the director, the centre strives to help GBV victims rebuild their lives.
By FRANCIS MUREITHI
The rising cases of gender-based (GBV) and sexual violence against women is causing a major concern. In some cases, the victims are left to suffer the trauma of rape, defilement and even physical abuse.
However, in Nakuru Town, Love and Hope Centre, a Catholic Church-run institution, is giving hope to the victims.
The St Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa centre at Section 58 Estate helps girls and women who have been sexually abused to overcome emotional trauma.
Since the centre was opened, it has rehabilitated 600 female gender-based violence victims. Some of the beneficiaries at Love and Hope centre have moved on with life.

"I had lost hope in life after I was raped by my stepfather. I even contemplated committing suicide but when I was brought at the Love and Hope Centre, I was counselled and changed my mind. I was enrolled in a dressmaking course and today I am earning a living," said Ms Grace. (not her real name).
Another survivor, Ms Trufena (not her real name) said the tailoring skills she learnt at the centre has enabled her to fend her two children after being raped by a relative.
"I have bought a sewing machine through merry go round group after I was trained at Love and Hope Centre and today I earn my daily bread and my two children don't go hungry," said Ms Trufena.
Ms Njeri (not her real name) is now a waiter at one of the hotels in Nakuru.
"I was gang raped. However, after I was introduced to Love and Hope, I received counselling services and after I healed, I was sponsored to attend a hospitality course and today I am now employed as a waiter in one of the hotels in town," said Njeri.
The centre relies on donors and well-wishers such as United Nations Trust Fund project to run its projects. It offers counselling services, witness support programmes, and education on life skills to rebuild the lives of the victims.
The centre project coordinator John Wanyoike says: "Through the centre, some of the victims have been taken through the legal justice system and perpetrators of sexual violence have been arrested."
He said that about 300 victims (mostly school dropouts) have attended vocational training at the centre.
They have learned skills such as tailoring, dress making, beauty therapy, catering and hospitality. After completing their courses, some of the young women have secured jobs in the hospitality industry in Nakuru Town.
"We have convinced young girls, especially sexual abuse victims, to go back to school," added Mr Wanyoike.
Using business skills learnt at the centre, some of the women have set up groceries, curio shops and other small businesses.
The institution has volunteers who report rape and defilement cases to the centre.
"We have about 40 community advocacy champions, volunteers and other committed residents who are committed to end gender based violence against women and girls in Nakuru County," said Mr Wanyoike.
The institution also receives referrals from Nakuru Level Five and Nairobi Women hospitals.
"We are training about 500 women and girls on how to cope with the aftermath of the gender-based violence," said Mr Wanyoike.
He says they are worried by the increasing cases of gender-based violence against women and girls in the county. He blamed the increasing level of depression in the society for the increasing cases of violence.
HEALTH CRISIS
"We have a mental health crisis in Kenya which needs a national conversation," he said.
He says during the 16-day Gender Based Violence campaign which ends on December 10 is for the country to mobilise resources and fight GBV.
"We must stop blaming the police and keep on reporting GBV incidences," said Mr Wanyoike.
The centre's greatest wish is for the government to enhance its referral systems and make them work.
"Survivors of GBV should have a one stop shop where they report the sexual assault without being referred to hospitals and police stations. A police officer should be stationed at hospital to enhance justice," concluded Mr Wanyoike.

These figures were for my "Fellowship" bonus round entry. I finished them this afternoon and the post has been submitted.
I should finish painting the "in progress" board tomorrow morning, allowing me to make a good start on the other board, probably finishing them on Friday. That just leaves the infantry support weapons (Maxim guns and mortars) which I'll be doing over the weekend. Monday will see a big basing session and they should be ready to submit on Tuesday.
Only 22 days left of the Challenge! I guess I'd better keep the pace up.
After last week's disappointment, I have had three entries submitted this week totaling 403 points.
These have seen me jump to 4th place with 2586 points, 414 points away from my original target (639 points if I exclude my bonus points from theme rounds). Once the results of the final bonus round are in, I will be increasing the target to reflect my bonus points total.
Well, blow me down with a feather - this old rust-bucket came third in the "Water Feature" bonus round. I will admit that I thought (and hoped) I might get an "honourable mention", but never thought I'd garner enough votes for a top 3 spot.
...just kidding! I went for the 15mm WW2 Soviets.
I started work on the two rifle platoons yesterday evening, and finished painting them this afternoon.
I've started work on the guns (edge highlights and tyres). They should be finished quite quickly leaving me time to make a start on the crews tonight. I think that they should be done by lunchtime tomorrow. At that point I'll add stick the crew figures (and shell crates) to the gun bases. I should be able to add the basing gunk late tomorrow, then finish them on Monday. While I'm waiting for the gunk to dry, I'll be able to work on something else, probably my entry for the fight (and final!) bnus round.
I'm getting rather annoyed by this virus. I was in full swing yesterday and first thing this morning, then "Ha! You thought I'd gone, didn't you? Here, have a large dose of lethargy and inability to focus.". As a result, I haven't managed to finish painting the third batch of Warlord plastics today. Hopefully I'll be OK tomorrow and can get them finished then.
I'm in a little bit of a quandary about which project to go for when the early war Aussies are out of the way. There are two good sized projects waiting in the wings, and I would like to do both but doubt I'd have time for that. The projects are my 15mm WW2 Soviets and my 28mm Wars of the Roses army. It might be the case that I do some of each over the next four weeks.
Yes, two 28mm figures for a whopping ten points!
When the third batch of Aussies are painted, I'll do the basing on them before I start on the Perry plastics. All together they should add another 350 points to my total. I should be able to get a few other figures painted up for next week's submission, but I haven't decided what yet.
Today saw the entries for the fourth of this year's bonus theme rounds posted. And what a varied bunch they are.
It is recommended that you use the links in the right-hand sidebar to move between posts as Blogger sometimes skips if you hit "newer post" or "older post".
1. It would have been best to do the priming and base colours before assembling the ship.
2. Poundshop masking tape isn't just low tack, it's virtually non-existent tack. This caused some problems when I was airbrushing the white stripe on the deck sections (the stripes on the superstructure were hand-painted).
The ship is a 28mm MDF kit from TT Combat. I also painted up some deck equipment (not shown in the pic above) from Pulp Figures.
ps don't forget to vote for all the entries you think deserve a vote.
With the cargo ship completed for my "water feature" bonus round entry, I started work yesterday on my next painting project - some more early war Aussies.
These are the Warlord plastics, bought long before they released their 8th Army Commonwealth pack, so no slouch hats on these. I do have a Commonwealth sprue which came with the recent issue of Wargames Illustrated, so those six figures with slouch hats will be added at some point.
I've been feeling a bit run down the past few days, so progress is a little slow on these and they might not be finished in time for my Tuesday submission. I might paint up a small set of pulp figures tomorrow so that I do have something to post this week; the Aussies can wait until next week which will allow me to include the Perry plastics as well.
When the Aussies are finished I will probably paint up a few sets of pulp figures for weekly submissions while I work on a rather large project.
Yes, it's my cargo ship from TT Combat. This will be my entry for the "water feature" bonus round. The masking tape on the deck sections is because I need to airbrush a white stripe down them tomorrow.
You've probably noticed that I've had quite a busy week. But what do I have to show for it?
Three Challenge entries in one day, that's what I've got to show for it!
I've started work on my next bonus round entry. You'll see some WIP pics tomorrow.
Well, I've had quite a busy day today. Curt asked me to be special guest minion, so that he can concentrate on dealing with all the entries for the third bonus theme round. Which means that Senior Flight Attendant Tamsin has taken to the skies again, spreading mayhem along with all those chemtrails.
I've got a bit of weathering still to do, plus painting the ground texture and some detail painting.
All the figures have been stuck on bases. I just need to add some basing gunk and then paint and dry-brush it. That will be a job for tomorrow.

Vikram's photographs reflect a longing for childhood fantasies and intentionally blur the boundaries between dream and reality. In addition to being inspired by his own childhood memories as well as childhood stories such as Alice in Wonderland, Vikram's artistic influences include the work of the Surrealists, the Romantics, and the Pre-Raphaelites. Vikram strives to draw viewers into phantasmagorical worlds through his meticulously staged photographs. He is a regular contributor to Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and Elle and won a Cannes Young Lions Award (Bronze) for Best Photography for his Grey Singapore, Duracell batteries campaign.
Inspired by the bewitching colour diversity and the facet richness of mineral rocks, ARENIT, the new A/W collection from the house of Beni Durrer combines the romantic harmonies of sensuous autumn landscapes. The muted colour composition of cream and powder pigments, matte or mineral shimmering, ranges from delicate beige and charming sandstone nuances to moss green, to intense apricot and the deep red glowing poppy blossoms.
Congratulations to Seb Winter for winning his category at this year's AOP Awards Non-Commissioned Fashion & Beauty Series. A good night was had by everybody who joined us to celebrate.

Each child is poisoned by the society through teaching him ambition. Ambition is a poison far more dangerous than any alcohol can ever be, far more dangerous than marijuana or LSD, because ambition destroys your whole life. It keeps you moving in a false direction. It keeps you imagining, desiring, dreaming, it keeps you wasting your life. Ambition means a subtle creation of the ego, and once the ego is created you are in the grip of darkness. And the whole social structure depends on ambition.
What is your greatest ambition in life?' 'To become immortal... and then die.

Scholar Isa Blumi returns to refresh our memories on what the war on Yemen is all about, his view on the current state of the conflict which has now passed the seven year mark, and how the Yemenis are holding their own against the empire. The West and GCC countries are bleeding money in this conflict which may lead to the collapse of a number of Gulf countries.

Hi, I'm Jonelle. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am new to this, so please bear with me thru all of the amateur pics and such 😉 I am 29 and a total goofball (hence the pic :D). I love hockey, football, riding horses, and of course COOKING!
I recently realized (after many articles, books, documentaries, personal stories..etc later) that what I was eating for 29 years was harmful to my body. What I thought was "healthy" for so many years, was definitely NOT. It has been scary to learn what is in our food and how badly it can tax our bodies. Even more disturbing is how many animals are being treated inhumanely and tortured just for our unnecessary benefits. Instead of just turning my cheek to it (as many do), I decided to face it and make a huge change in my life. I decided to become a vegan!
I love food….no really…LOOOVVEE food and even more so LOOOVVEE to cook. So, after knowing the change I had to make to be healthier inside and out, I was a bit scared that I would have to give a lot up. It was definitely not so. It was the other way around actually. It is just a whole new way of cooking, which I saw as a challenge and it has been a LOT of fun!
I will probably add more to this later, but just wanted to give a little background on why I decided to start this blog.
Thanks again for reading! Magiamó!
Loved reading your blog. Looking forward to seeing its progress. I will share this with my friends on Facebook. I have many friends who are vegan or have changed their eating habits due to gluten allergies. I personally do not eat ANY kind of shell fish or any pork or pork products. Will be fun to watch your growth. Love and hugs to you and Wes.
Great job Bella Jonella! I'm going to subscribe so I don't miss a post.
HI June!! So nice to hear from you! Thank you for visiting my site 🙂 Let me know if you try anything and how it turns out!
