The futility of the Kavanaugh hearings

The Senate Judiciary Committee spent Tuesday decapitating its credibility.
The soul-sucking scrum that was day one of Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearing started out, ostensibly anyway, with spats over the late production of documents related to Kavanaugh's tenure at the White House more than a dozen years ago. Just hours before the hearing began, Democrats on the Judiciary Committee received 42,000 pages of new documents, adding to more than 400,000 produced over the summer. Before chairman Chuck Grassley could even dive into his welcoming statement to Kavanaugh and his family, almost every Democrat on the panel began offering a series of objections to the hearing, demanding its adjournment in order to have more time to review the new material. In the first 40 minutes of the hearing, Alyssa Hackbarth calculated 44 interruptions, 13 from Connecticut's Richard Blumenthal alone.
In any other context, asking for time to review the documents might have been a reasonable request — if in fact anyone on the Judiciary Committee was still pondering how their vote would go. Blumenthal, who had the most objections and repeatedly demanded an adjournment, announced his opposition to Kavanaugh the same day his appointment was announced. At that time, Blumenthal rested his decision on Kavanaugh's "record and writings, which I have reviewed," claiming that they showed a "very extreme hostility to many of the precious rights and liberties that make our nation great."
The man with the second-most interruptions, New Jersey Democrat Cory Booker, also demanded more time to review the newly released documents. Like Blumenthal, Booker announced his opposition to Kavanaugh as soon as the appointment was made, declaring that he already knew that "Judge Kavanaugh has an immensely troubling record." Booker followed up later in July to declare that Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing was "a moral moment" in which "there is [sic] no bystanders. You are either complicit in the evil … or you are fighting against it."
If that's true, then why do either need more time to look at documents from Kavanaugh's time outside the judiciary? Both Booker and Blumenthal closed their minds long ago on Kavanaugh, making further document production superfluous. The same is true of all the other Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, especially California's Kamala Harris, who announced her opposition to confirming the nominee before Trump made his selection. Under those circumstances, none of the Democrats needed to read one single document, at least not for the purposes of the hearing.
Not long after the attempts to obstruct the hearing began, NBC's Kasie Hunt reported that the interruptions were part of a strategy to derail the hearings coordinated by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. It stood no chance of stopping Kavanaugh's hearing, but it did offer Democrats on the panel lots of opportunities for sound bites. That will go a long way toward pacifying activists in their base who demanded all stops be pulled in defeating Kavanaugh's confirmation, even if their previous nuclear-option strategy (authored by Harry Reid and Schumer) is what keeps Democrats from having any influence on the process at all.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) lashed out at Democrats for attempting to "relitigate the 2016 election," but the problem goes well beyond that. The bitter partisanship on display in the confirmation wars has far deeper roots, reflecting the corrosiveness of the political climate at large and especially the stakes for each seat in the federal judiciary.
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) tried to inject a note of rationality into the bizarre spectacle. The problem goes beyond the disingenuous demands over process particulars, he noted in his opening statement, to the breakdown of the legislative process. The reason that Supreme Court nominations have become such a high-stakes game is that the legislature doesn't want to conduct tough votes on policy, Sasse stated.
"We've accepted a new theory about how our three branches of government should work, and in particular the judiciary," Sasse explained. Congress keeps dishing out its authority to the executive and judicial branches out of a craven impulse to avoid governing in ways that might cost incumbents votes. "If people want to want to get re-elected over and over again and that's your highest goal," he continued, "then actually giving away your power is a pretty good strategy." The end result, Sasse concluded, is "Congress has decided to self-neuter," in favor of leaving tough decisions to the other two branches, and "that means the people are cut out of the process." That, Sasse declared, is why "every confirmation hearing now is going to be an overblown politicized circus."
It's certainly why the hearings have become not just an afterthought but entirely superfluous. With legislative activity moving to the judiciary, it's no longer enough to have qualified jurists appointed to those positions to act as neutral referees on congressional and executive action. Both sides want activists to legislate for life from those spots, and both sides are willing to play hardball to win their voter-free elections in the form of confirmation votes.
Ironically, of course, jurists like Neil Gorsuch and perhaps to a lesser extent Brett Kavanaugh could be the solution to this conundrum. A Supreme Court that sticks to an originalist reading of the Constitution would deflect political and policy questions back to the political and policy branches, rather than carve out more jurisdiction for themselves in one direction or another. Unfortunately, the process has become so embarrassing and such an obvious put-on that few can trust either side to nominate and confirm justices truly interested in that kind of reformed view of the judiciary.
The best for which we can hope is that such nominees manage to eke their way through the gladiatorial process that decades of game-playing has produced — a process that, like the opening of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing, is full of sound and fury signifying nothing.

Assessing the impact of emerging anti-bullying legislation on children and youth
Alicia Raia-Hawrylak, Christopher Donoghue
Purpose - Anti-bullying legislation has been adopted in every state to prevent the victimization of youth, but the focus on deterring and criminalizing individual behavior can obscure the contextual factors that contribute to aggression. This theoretical paper engages sociological literature to understand the impact of recent anti-bullying legislation on students' experiences. Design/methodology/approach - We discuss stigma and accountmaking theory to theorize the ways students become particularly vulnerable to victimization and may or may not be sufficiently protected under the law. We also engage criminological theories to understand how punishment may not be sufficient for preventing aggressive behavior but may instead lead students to employ strategies to avoid being caught or punished for their behaviors. Findings - We argue that the majority of current anti-bullying definitions and protocols in use are ambiguous and insufficient in protecting vulnerable groups of students, particularly students with disabilities, overweight students, and LGBT+ students. Originality/value - Our findings suggest that schools should seek to understand and alter the school-wide cultures and norms that permit aggressive behavior in the first place, in turn creating more inclusive school environments.

Home/Sports/Kings vs. Nuggets: Four Points from Sacramento's Dramatic Victory Against Denver – NBA Sports
Kings vs. Nuggets: Four Points from Sacramento's Dramatic Victory Against Denver – NBA Sports
chrisbarreseDecember 24, 2020
The Kings got off to the wildest start of the NBA season on Wednesday night, winning overtime. Denver Nuggets Buddy heeled buzzer beater.. With two ties and two reed changes in the last three minutes of regulation, Sacramento won by scoring the last six points of the additional session.
Here are four points from an incredibly fun and nervous game.
Coaching staff are already very confident in Tyrese Halliburton
The game draws 112, plays less than 30 seconds, and Kings has created a set where De'Aaron Fox attacks from the ghost screen. It is possible that the lane's charging fox broke the defense and he kicked it into a rookie point guard and was the three pointer who won the game. Halliburton missed and Kings had to stop at the other end to send the match to overtime.
It didn't really matter that Halliburton missed the shot (if it sounds like revisionist history) It's not!). Importantly, the coaching staff and his teammates trusted Halliburton to take the shot at the greatest moment of the night. They trusted him to play the entire fourth quarter (against an advanced, really good Denver team) in a tight match that happened to be the first in his NBA career.
Kings was right to do so. Halliburton scored 12 points, 4 assists and blocks in his debut. He also made all the free throws the night Kings left too many points on the line. And he was ready to hit the big three early in the period, including one of the broken plays that raised Sacramento four at a time.
Halliburton is ready to go. It's good for Kings to understand that.
Veterans have won their keep
Cory Joseph and Harrison Barnes are many because they are, on the surface, older players who command a lot of (and money) on the team being rebuilt, and it's unclear if it's really worth it. We will have an anti-air warfare. Against Denver, they definitely did.
Joseph has long had one of his best overall games. At least it was the most influential. He attacked the basket to create his own attack and played for his teammates. Especially in the first half, Kings recovered from the initial deficit. He had 15 points and 4 assists. This is a combination of statistics that was only achieved twice in the Rockets and Clippers wins last season.
Joseph also made some rugged defensive play in the third quarter, including strips at both Will Barton and Nikola Jokić. His tenacity around him allowed Kings to play a three-guard lineup without sacrificing the defensive end of the floor. The Joseph / Halliburton / Halliburton grouping was plus 6 in 12 minutes, and the Joseph / Fox / Halliburton trio was plus 4 in 10 minutes. These lineups are even more convenient as Kings can play Burns with the most effective power forwards.
During the broadcast, Doug Christie looked up the word "professional" in the dictionary and commented that there was a picture of Harrison Barnes there. There was no better way to explain Burns' performance against the Nuggets. He did a really good job of calming the team when the game got out of hand, and played important at key points.
Burns earned the first points of the game and the first points of overtime when he was wobbling after Kings abandoned his lead in the fourth quarter. Burns consistently found his spot on drives, duck-ins and cuts against Michael Porter Jr. and Paul Millsap. A match that favored Burns because of his wisdom against Porter and his quickness against Millsap.
He may not have had the dunk that won the game, but Harrison Barnes' fingerprints were throughout the decisive range of the game.

Burns was directly involved in the last three scores of Sacramento. He passed Burton for a layup and bullied Kings to draw them within two people. Then he went from shore to shore for a left-handed layup after Fox's block, and he created a turnover to Denver's last possession by deflecting the ball from Jokić. The Burns performance won 42 minutes, even if Glenn Robinson III was glued to the bench throughout the game.
Kings dominated aggressive glass
Sacramento recorded 17 aggressive rebounds, collecting 31% of mistakes. The Kings shot worse than the Nuggets from the field and free throw lines, so we needed these additional opportunities. Volume was their only chance of victory.
Two of Sacramento's most impressive games were aggressive rebounds. Hield's chip-in to win the game was a highlight, but Richaun Holmes had another buzzer beater chip-in at the end of the first half. Imagine where the Kings would be without these two points. Holmes had a tough night defending Jokić, but his six offensive boards were huge.
Keep Diaron Fox away from the lane and do your best
The game changed in the third quarter when Kings turned a 7-point deficit into a 5-point lead. Fox was the key to that swing as he scored 10 points with a 4-4 shot from the field while making both free throws. It was his best stretch of the game when he focused on painting rather than settling on a midrange pull-up — the seven midrangers Fox took were too many for his caliber shooter.
Watch Fox's speed in these plays. Certainly the Nuggets, who do not have a good point guard defender, cannot be expected to catch up with him.
The best moment in Fox's paint was actually the defensive end, challenging Burton with the rim with 10 seconds remaining. That was another example of Fox using his speed. This time to catch up with the player who beat him with a backdoor. Fox was the leader of the Kings, who showed it by taking control in the second half and helping to close the game.
Kings coaches Luke Walton, Buddy Hield and De'Aaron Fox talked about the importance of his block to block the victory of the season opener in Denver tonight. pic.twitter.com/eJLqazDG5X
— Sean Cunningham (@SeanCunningham) December 24, 2020
I apologize to Hield and Bagley, who weren't mentioned much about this, and Mark Jones and Christie, who were stunning on the air, but there are 71 games left. May they all be as fun as ever.

MetaServer's Import from Folder feature allows you to watch one or multiple folders in the same workflow and process imported PDF files. You can use MFPs (Multi-Functional Peripheral like a digital copier/scanner/printer), Network Scanners, scan-to-folder oriented systems, such as Fujitsu ScanSnap, or any device that can send a PDF to a synced cloud folder (DropBox, Google Drive, Box, etc.) like a smartphone running a scan app.
Each import folder action in a workflow can have a different next action. Consequently, you can process a document differently depending on the watched folder you place it in.
– A "Single" button, for scanning a single application form. It will go straight to the Extract action.
– A "Multi" button, for scanning a set of multiple application forms.
The MFP will create 1 document holding all the application forms in the set, so they need to go through a Separate Document and/or Organizer action first before going to the Extract action.
– Truck drivers scan POD documents with their smartphone and the result is sent to a central Dropbox folder to trigger a business process.
– A law firm has MFPs set up in their office and scan case-related documents to a network folder to automatically save them in the correct case folder with a meaningful name, including the date and document type.
– A catering company receives incoming invoices through e-mail and snail mail. So, they watch an email inbox for incoming invoices and scan their physical invoices to a watched folder. MetaServer extracts all relevant data such as supplier name, invoice number, amount, due date etc. and uploads the data in QuickBooks for booking and payment.
– A pest & termite control service scans their inspection reports to a watched folder to archive them in a comprehensive folder structure.
To add an Import from Folder action, select the action after which you want to insert the Import from Folder action and press Add -> Import -> from Folder. The Setup window will automatically open.
You can also open the setup window of an existing Import from Folder action by double clicking the action or by pressing the setup button on the right side of the action or in the ribbon, as shown below.
01 – Watched folder: you can browse to the watched folder using the "…" button or enter the path manually. Make sure this path already exists.
02 – File types: here you can specify the file types that will be imported. Press the drop-down arrow to select the desired file types. Right now, we exclusively support PDF. Support for other file types is planned for a future release.
03 – Import sequence: here you can choose if you want to import your documents chronologically or alphabetically.
04 – Import [x] seconds after file creation: some MFP devices (we've experienced it with some MFPs from Konica-Minolta) write PDF files gradually in the destination folder and don't always lock them while being written. This can generate a corrupt PDF file and cause errors. In that case, by setting a delay before importing the file with the "Import [x] seconds after file creation" option, the MFP can correctly finish the PDF file.
05 – Document: this option will automatically create a document per file. Other document options are planned for a future release.
01 – Log file names: enable this option if you want to create a log for each imported document. You can specify the location by browsing to a folder or entering a path manually. If the path does not already exist, it will be created automatically.
1) File name: here you can choose how to store your import-log files. You have the option to store them in sub-folders and name them based on the imported document's import date year, month and / or day.
This way, all import-logs with the same import date will be merged in 1 file. You also have the option to store all logs in 1 file named "MetaServer.txt", regardless of the import date.
02 – Delete file / Move file to: once a document is imported in MetaServer, you can choose to delete it from the watched folder or you can move it to another folder for archiving purposes.
03 – Remove empty sub folders: disable this option if you don't want to remove empty sub folders. This can be useful if, for example, the sub folder names in the watched folder hold the name of the person who scanned the document. The name can then be used in an Extract action's Reserve rule to reserve the document for validation by the person who scanned the document.

Q: how to write compound REST methods, and REST methods of verbs in spring? For example I have UserController with methods:
GET /api/users -- get all users
GET /api/users/1 -- get concrete users
POST /api/users -- create concrete users
PUT /api/users/3 -- update concrete users

It is classic REST. But I have 2 questions.

*

*How should the method look like that makes payment in REST archetecture?

like this? - POST /api/payments/pay - But pay is verb
or login of user - POST /api/users/3/login???

*I have 2 controllers - MarketController and CarsController with methods:

GET /api/markets/3 -- get market with id = 3
GET /api/cars/1    -- get car with id = 1
Client try get concrete car from concrete market:
GET /api/markets/3/cars/1 -- in which controller should I write this?

A: Answer for the question #1
That's a misconception: REST doesn't care about the URI design. However, once the central piece of the REST architectural style is the resource, it makes sense that the URI that identifies a resource contains a noun instead of verb.
To avoid verbs, you could use just /api/payments. A POST to that URL will create a payment with the representation sent in the request payload.
For the authentication resource, you could use /api/auth, for example.
Answer for the question #2
It seems to be a method for the MarketController, which is mapped to /markets.
But keep in mind that your controllers shouldn't perform any business logic. Instead, it should delegate to a service.

Dagø (estisk: Hiiumaa, svensk og tysk Dagö) er Estlands næststørste ø. Den udgør siden 2017 ét amt, som består af kun én kommune. Den er altså at sammenligne med Bornholms Regionskommune. Øen ligger i Østersøen nord for øen Øsel (Saaremaa). Dagø har et areal på cirka 989 km² og hele amtet har 8.497 indbyggere (31. december 2021). Forvaltningscentrum på øen er byen Kärdla. Ved en landsomfattende administrativ reform efter kommunalvalgene søndag den 15. oktober 2017 er de fire landkommuner blevet lagt sammen til éen kommune.

Historie
Arkæologiske fund viser, at øen har været beboet mindst siden 400 f.Kr. Øens navn Dageida er nævnt for første gang i 1228, da øen tilhørte den Tyske Orden. I 1254 blev øen delt mellem bispedømmet Ösel-Wiek og den liviske del af den Tyske Orden.

I 1557 kom øen til Danmark. Mellem 1563 og 1710 tilhørte øen Sverige. Mellem 1710 og 1. verdenskrig var Estland en del af Rusland. Under 1. verdenskrig var Dagø besat af Tyskland. Efter krigen blev øen en del af det uafhængige Estland. I 1940 blev landet annekteret af Sovjetunionen. Estland blev selvstændigt igen den 20. august 1991 efter Sovjetunionens sammenbrud.

Dagø var længe et vigtigt centrum for den svenske befolkning i Estland. I slutningen af 1700-tallet boede der cirka 2000 svenskere på Dagø. I 1781 blev cirka halvdelen af den svenske befolkning deporteret til Ukraine, hvor de overlevede og grundlagde byen Gammalsvenskby (i dag Zmijevka). Svenskerne på Dagø boede frem for alt i Kärdla-området, hvor der endnu i dag findes enkelte, som regner sig som svenske. De fleste svenskere på Dagø blev imidlertid assimileret i den estisktalende flertalsbefolkning.

Den estiske dialekt på øen er stadig påvirket af svensk.

Fredede områder

På øen findes følgende naturfredede områder:
 Hiiumaa laidude maastikukaitseala, oprettet 1971
 Käina lahe - Kassari maastikukaitseala,
 Kõpu looduskaitseala,
 Kõrgessaare maastikukaitseala,
 Leigri looduskaitseala,
 Luidja maastikukaitseala,
 Paope looduskaitseala,
 Pihla-Kaibaldi looduskaitseala,
 Sarve maastikukaitseala,
 Sepaste maastikukaitseala,
 Tahkuna looduskaitseala,
 Tareste maastikukaitseala,
 Tihu looduskaitseala,
 Tilga maastikukaitseala,
 Vahtrepa maastikukaitseala,
idet man skelner mellem naturfredede områder (estisk: looduskaitseala) og landskabsfredning (estisk: maastikukaitseala).

Käina laht (bugt) er fuglebeskyttelsesområde.

Kukka kivi (sten) er en naturfredet vandreblok.

Øen indgår i Lääne-Eesti saarestiku biosfäärikaitseala (Det Vest-estiske øhavs biosfære-fredningsområde).

In this 8-minute video excerpt from his recent talk, Seth describes the practical, hands-on methodology that he uses on a day-to-day basis to identify and vet his entrepreneurial ideas. As I note in Spilling The Beans , the basic ideas upon which startups are founded are worth nothing.

Irvine-based Oculus VR , the virtual reality technology developer which was just picked up by Facebook for $2 billion--has a lot of developers with great virtual reality game and simulation ideas and software in the works.
Such ideas require little-to-no capital, usually last for a relatively short duration and are of nominal size. Note that I am not purporting that these are particularly amazing or unique ideas. This mini adVenture did so well that not only did the student earn enough money to travel to Europe after graduation, the entrepreneur franchised the idea to a lower classman, who then sold the same prints the following year and split the profit with the entrepreneur who originated the idea.
Bill Gross , the founder of Pasadena''s Idealab , is stepping out of the lab, and into the market--saying Monday that it has co-founded a new startup called IdeaMarket , which will let investors submit funded, high level startup ideas, let the public provide feedback, and allow technically oriented talent make a bid to help bring those ideas to life. All of those ideas have a pre-commited amount of capital from investors willing to back those ideas.

Ideas are infinite, and in the absence of competent execution, they are worth nothing. Thus, if both ideas and money are abundant, what is the scarce constraint in the fundraising equation? Skilled entrepreneurs bring ideas and money together by building a bridge of trust.
How important is having a "big idea" for startups? Ideas can generate a lot of buzz and capture attention from investors and potential customers, but long-term success really depends on the capabilities of the team. The founder's idea has to be good enough to serve as a lure for talent.
As Mr. Johnson points out, big ideas generally result from the collision of many small hunches. In isolation, a particular hunch may be worthless, but when combined with other ideas, at the right time, the result can be a game-changing innovation. Ten Step Idea Evaluation Worksheet .
Stocktwits developed the idea of click-able stock tickers, allowing users to search for conversations about certain stocks on the micro-messaging site, as well as through partners like CNN Money, Yahoo Finance, and others. San Diego-based Stocktwits , the online, finance focused micro-messaging site run by Howard Lindzon, has a problem: Twitter just made stock tickers on the site clickable, replicating a major feature of Stocktwits.
Facebook popularized the short-form "status update&# and this initially is called the "feed&# but over time starts to become known as the " stream.&# Twitter then popularizes the idea of having only a stream (e.g. Advertising has driven the majority of Internet innovation.
Think of a group of people developing a new idea, all doing what they are good at. The word ecosystem conjures up a rain forest in Ecuador, where sunlight, soil, water, and a multitude of species exist together in a self-sustaining environment that is constantly evolving.
Venice, California-based Snapchat said Tuesday that it has settled a dispute with Reggie Brown , the fellow Stanford University student who had claimed that he came up with the idea for Snapchat. Brown had sued Snapchat, CEO Evan Spiegel, and CTO Robert Murphy in November, as well as all of the company''s investors, saying they had stolen the idea from him.

Press Conference by the Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary (Excerpt)
REPORTER: The United States announced that it suspended talks with Russia to sustain a ceasefire in Syria. This comes at a time when Japan-Russia relations are improving. How do you expect this to affect the negotiations for concluding a peace treaty between Japan and Russia?
DEPUTY CHIEF CABINET SECRETARY NOGAMI: We are concerned about a further worsening of the humanitarian situation in Syria. There is a pressing need to improve the humanitarian situation. To do this, it is essential that there is a ceasefire and improved access to humanitarian assistance. We understand that the United States announced the suspension of its agreement with Russia on the cessation of hostilities. In view of the current severe humanitarian situation, we believe that all parties, countries concerned, and the international community as a whole need to sustain their efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Syria, and to realize immediate, safe, and unhindered humanitarian access. Japan will continue to provide humanitarian assistance, as well as urge everyone concerned to sustain their efforts. We do not consider that the developments between the United States and Russia will have any impact on our negotiations for concluding a peace treaty.
REPORTER: The draft supplementary budget is expected to pass at this afternoon's plenary session of the House of Representatives. Can you please once again explain the significance of this supplementary budget and what discussions you expect after the draft budget is sent to the House of Councillors?
DEPUTY CHIEF CABINET SECRETARY NOGAMI: The Government would like to refrain from making speculative comments regarding deliberations at the Diet. The Government has been asking for the swift passage of the supplementary budget, which is based on the economic measures exceeding 28 trillion yen in project scope. We remain committed to providing careful explanations with a sense of urgency towards the swift passage of the supplementary budget, through which we will firmly support domestic demand and carry out bold investments for the future.
REPORTER: At yesterday's meeting of the Budget Committee of the House of Representatives, with regard to concluding a peace treaty that encompasses the Northern Territories issue with Russia, Prime Minister Abe explained the same government policy from before, which is that there is no change to Japan's intention to conclude a peace treaty by solving the issue of the return of the four islands. On the other hand, former Prime Minister Mori has mentioned the return to Japan of the Habomai and Shikotan Islands and the joint management of the Kunashiri and Etorofu Islands. I believe there are various opinions. Some suggest that this sort of solution is not inconsistent with the existing government policy. Can you please share your view in this regard?
DEPUTY CHIEF CABINET SECRETARY NOGAMI: If I comment on the individual solutions that you just referred to, this may affect our future negotiations. Therefore, I would like to refrain from making comments. In any case, the basic policy of the Government remains unchanged, which is to conclude a peace treaty by resolving the issue of the attribution of the Northern Territories.


The Sykes' monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis), named after English naturalist Colonel William Henry Sykes (1790-1872), also known as the white-throated monkey or Samango monkey, is an Old World monkey found between Ethiopia and South Africa, including south and east Democratic Republic of Congo. It has been considered conspecific with the blue monkey (which in turn has included the golden and silver monkey), but has a large white patch on the throat and upper chest, and a grizzled (not blackish) cap.

SiriusXm Radio Insight - "Tell Me Everything"
For those who pay little or no attention to radio (which sells more books than other coverage), Sirius Xm is a paid subscriber satellite radio network, offering an enormous amount and variety of programming. It's very popular among truckers and others who travel in a vehicle all day. Some of its channels are available 'gratis' in some airlines' entertainment networks, as with JetBlue.
"Tell Me Everything" -- Sirius Insight was fun, if such a word can be paired with such a subject as slavery.
John Fugelsang, his producer and his team, were very well prepared. Unlike poorWBAI (who was equally prepared, though she focused on different things), Sirius has money, so the whole operation is as a slick and contempo as one would expect of an organization in Rockefeller Center, which is where SiriusXm Radio is located. When one gets to Reception, as soon as we are logged in and our badges / key cards issued, a very large screen announces:
CONSTANCE SUBLETTE
The screen rotates all the guests's names who are up there, presenting live.
The producer says he's taking a photo of our names and sending them to our publicist so she can send them to us. That will be a cool souvenir of the experience.
Due to the money, here were nice microphones, a lovely studio. But there was also a relaxed though, passionate about surely all their subjects, and very professional atmosphere -- and, most of all, terrific prep and comprehension.
The young, white, male engineer was directly in my line of sight. His face registered expressions of astonishment and disgust and shock at what he was hearing. Even the producer at times reacted that way, and presumably he was the one who brought the book (via Publisher's Publicist) to John's attention. And we didn't describe anything graphically -- which we don't mostly in the book either, unless we're quoting an eye-witness.
John (the host) told us afterword that his father had been an American history teacher, so he takes slavery and related issues seriously, but TASC informed him of so much.
We have JT, an old friend from the Lone Star days, up at Sirius who does the country - western etc. shows. So we stopped after, and hung out with him for a while, catching up. Ned's been up there with him a fair amount, doing shows with Dave Marsh (who, I believe has his own show on Sirius), and with Willie Nelson.
Behind the red Christmas ornaments is the building, 2115 Rockefeller Center, where SiriusXm Radio is located. The annual (83rd) Rockefeller Plaza Christmas tree lighting will be Dec. 2, Wednesday.
A Henri Bendell Window
Since I was going to be in Midtown anyway, I'd thought after the interview I'd walk around and look at the, honestly, spectacular Christmas decorations in the department stores like Lord & Taylor, the plazas and so on. But I used the time I'd marked out for that hanging out with JT instead. Hey, friends and catch-up always take priority.
One of the brilliant things about doing these events, radio, etc., is what we learn. One of the things I've learned, which is a sad fact, that many well-informed people have imbibed the Glorious Lost Cause lie that President John Adams owned slaves. He -- and particularly Abigail -- were always anti-slavery, though not necessarily abolitionist, at least not in their earlier years. Abigail did employ a black family among the other labor on the farm she ran, managed and worked on with her own back and hands while John was absent so much and for years at a time in Europe or elsewhere. The key word here is employ. These were free people of color, with their own home and their own family.

Faerie Magazine
Reminds one of ye olde Fantasy Magazine, doesn't it?
Faerie Magazine is a lifestyle magazine, for people who love fairies. It ranks #19 among the 157 lifestyle magazines sold at B&Noble.
Magazines as material creations have mostly fallen off my radar, other than Downbeat, the Lincoln Center Theater Review, Bomb and some others that el V writes for on occasions, and which send him their issues every month or quarterly, depending on what the pub schedule is. So Faerie Magazine is all news to me. It was established in 2005, pointed toward the Renaissance Faire goers and vendors' market.
Faerie Magazine is published on a quarterly schedule. One may sign up for a weekly newsletter, filled with offers of diaphanous products and other otherworldly objects. I am dazzled and enchanted, at least for an ephemeral, crepuscular moment.

For ME, Tomorrow Is The Big Day
Lenny Lopate Show, tomorrow, at 1:25 PM tomrrow.
Can be listened to streaming live.
http://www.wnyc.org/shows/lopate
Tomorrow the site will all look different than it does today, long long long before midnight, when it all turns over for the next day, i.e. tomorrow.
For me this is a VERY BIG DEAL!
Starting with LL's interview of Edward Ball about Slaves in the Family 1998) that verified that what I was doing with the Della stories was right. Because I was told by the male history experts that I was all wrong. So much so, I doubted myself.Which meant digging ever deeper into U.S. history, which showed me that far from being wrong, slavery was central to U.S. history from the earliest colonial era to present.
Katherine Kerr provide me the first opportunity to explore these matters of slavery -- and the transmission of cultures and spiritual paths to sustain individuals, families an communities in slavery -- in the United State with an invitation to submit a story for her anthology, The Shiimmering Door -- 1996). As my stories continued, mansplainers of sf/f told me the stories were charming but were historically all wrong because I didn't understand basic facts of American history, particularly the fact, "My dear, the Civil War wasn't about slavery."
More lately the same mansplainers are informing everyone that the Civil War was about slavery, doncha know.
Which has a lot to do with why I spent 5 + years of my life working to make The American Slave Coast. Whenever anyone sneers that the Civil War -- or as we prefer to refer to that southern unpleasantness -- as the U.S. Revolution -- now I have something to point to which refutes every gddmned bs argument one wants to make, in one (yes, big, covering 350 years) volume. Or, as Mama Jennifer of the New Orleans Community Book Center down there instructs, "Throw that book at em!"
We meet Edward Ball at Tulane before our thing with Gwen Tompkins, and he says he can't stay coz he's got a thing, but he stayed all the way because he couldn't tear himself away, and BOUGHT copies! He's here right now as a NYPL Cullman Fellow (which el V was one of back in the day), so we can all hook up, which we are doing.
This Lenny Lopate thing -- Edward Ball thing -- isn't the same thing for el V that it is for me. For me, this is HUGE.
By the way, what thrills me most of all -- The American Slave Coast is in the NYPL system, including the e-book version!

Completed:The American Slave Coast Book Tour
Last night's co-sponsored Harriet Beecher Stowe House Center and Real Art Ways' event was the final travel in a 7 week tour in support of The American Slave Coast: A History of the Slave-Breeding Industry. The rest of this week and the first 4 days of next week are all media, some local, such as "The Lenny Lopate Show" on WNYC, noon - 2 PM (we're on the 1:25 PM segment), others done by phone. Then it's Thanksgiving and we're into the holidays.
El V wanted us to celebrate doing all this -- and (sort of) surviving . We both picked up small colds by the end, and he's doing three events today: a radio interview, doing a music rehearsal and playing some of his music on a local television program. We should have a glass of champagne to celebrate, he thought, once we got back home. But it was too late. Everything was closed. Just as well, probably, as for the first time in our many years together, last night on that long journey to and from Hartford we finally seemed to run out of things to talk about. Recall, we've been together non-stop for 7 whole weeks. Many hours we've spent sitting next to each other in The Car, talking to no one but each other. That's going to take a while to fill up again, though el V is convinced it's merely exhaustion and once we've had a few days to sleep-sleep-sleep and not run around, suiting up and putting on game faces, we'll be talking with each other as enthusiastically as we always have.
For me, right now, what matters is that I don't have to pack a suitcase or unpack a suitcase again until December 31, when we fly to Miami, and Havana on January 1st. I cannot express how glad of this I am -- even though we'll be going out again in February and in the spring in support. I get 4 weeks of staying home.
Whew! What a ride this has been. Every event was special. They were all special in different ways. There was such a range -- one night we're speaking with people for whom buying a book isn't only budget strainer, but a budget breaker, then the next week we're speaking with some of the most wealthy people on the planet -- not exaggerating here. We say the same things, and people respond the same way. These are self-selected groups, whether an African American Studies / American History graduate student/professors/directors or people who congregate at their local Community Bookstore Ctr. in the poorest part of New Orleans. So that people all understood and reacted so positively shouldn't, perhaps, be surprising. Racists, white supremacists and right wing extremists aren't going to come out to hear about a book like The American Slave Coast.
We're in a state of exhaustion right now so deep I have lost track of the days. I thought yesterday was Thursday and today is Friday. The weather's changed. So have the seasons, and it seems there are these things called Thanksgiving and Chirstmas looming -- what? when did all that happen while we traveled up and down the Atlantic Coast, to the Gulf, to Houston?
Also, I wake up in the night and have no idea where I am. Last night I couldn't figure out where my bed was in relationship to the bathroom.
I can't wait to get back to my workouts to audio books -- books that aren't mine! That I don't have to talk about! I don't have to talk at all!

The American Slave Coast is going into a second printing to keep up with expected year-end demand. It's still #1 on African American history at Amazon. We were reviewed in the Guardian this week -- the pull quote:
"the Sublettes offer an economic history and theory of slavery that is blunt in its assessment, unassailable in its argument and accessible to a general reader."
The book tour continues to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. One of the things I've always loved about touring is the way you get a synchronous snapshot of what's going on in a larger circuit. As we connect with readers, scholars, teachers, students, and radio listeners, we hear the dialogue that's going on.People are engaged and thoughtful everywhere we go. It's a profound learning experience for us.
Last week we were in Richmond VA, Chestertown MD, and George Mason University in Fairfax VA [voice of C here -- el V rocked the house for 90 minutes, free-styling the contrast and history of slavery in Virginia and Cuba -- nobody left the standing room only space, except a couple of students and professors who had to get to their classes.] All of them were stimulating. To present in Chestertown was particularly meaningful for us, since without our residency there in 2010-11 the book would never have gotten off the ground. We feel quite attached to the town. I'm especially pleased to say that the community showed up for our event, the stock of books on hand sold out, and we had a beautiful and moving reception afterward at Sumner Hall, more fully known as the Charles Sumner Post #25 of the Grand Army of the Republic, which reopened in June 2014.
From the Kent County Arts Council webpage:
The Charles Sumner Post of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.), also known as Centennial Hall, was built in 1908 by African American veterans of the Civil War and served as a gathering place for veterans of the U.S. Colored Troops. It was named in honor of the famous Massachusetts antislavery senator. It served as the center of African-American community life for 60 years. It is the only building of its kind in the state of Maryland, and one of only two such monuments left standing in the United States. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

The UK Guardian - Review of The American Slave Coast
The American Slave Coast is included in the 11/3/15 books roundup "The books that prove black lives have always mattered in America" in The Guardian.
In the meantime, getting over the Bay Bridge, the bridge to Kent Island, and to the other side of Maryland, the Eastern Shore, birth place of among so many others, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman -- then moving on toward the Chester River Bridge into Chestertown, all the fields and pastures, farms and small towns, the sleek animals and shiny machinery, the blazing foliage -- in the most perfect light possible to illuminate the glory that is autumn in Kent County -- it's even more beautiful than I remembered. But this was an extraordinary day, everyone here agrees.
Tonight was wonderful, with a table of old local friends. Yeah, they are old friends by now -- starting to go on six years. It was here, with them, that that The American Slave Coast began, in the fall of 2010.
Tomorrow is going to be just as good, if not better.

Hello From Richmond, VA, On the Way to Chestertown, MD
Or -- a correction to the NYTimes.
It's the birthday of Stephen F. Austin, who worked to settle Anglo-American families in Mexican Texas and who in 1836 became the In today's New York Times morning briefing, we read:
" ... founder of the Republic of Texas, which lasted nine years."
It could have as easily read:
>It's the birthday of Stephen F. Austin, who brought slavery to Texas.
To quote from, yes, The American Slave Coast:
"Mexico after its independence in 1821 prohibited slavery, but the territory was only sparsely settled; hoping to populate it, the Mexican government invited in settlers from the United States, giving them land. But once the settlers moved in, they declared it theirs. Moses Austin, who had become one of the country's major producers of lead, was a major promoter of the Texas colonization movement. With his eyes on Mexico's lead mines, Austin had sworn allegiance to the Spanish crown in 1798. His son, the Virginia-born, Missouri-raised land speculator Stephen F. Austin, brought slavery to Texas and fought to keep it.
It was an article of faith throughout the South that American slavery must expand into Texas and beyond. There was no question that Texas would be an ultimate destination for young African Americans who were being born and raised all over the cotton kingdom. Stephen Austin wrote his sister Emily from New Orleans in August 1835, the summer of the Southern abolition panic: "It is very evident that Texas should be effectually, and fully, Americanized . . . Texas must be a slave country. It is no longer a matter of doubt. The interest of Louisiana requires that it should be. A population of fanatical abolitionists in Texas would have a very dangerous and pernicious influence on the overgrown slave population of [Louisiana]."

Did everyone survive Halloween, which is now the year's biggest commercial merchandising holiday, except for Christmas, which goes on much longer than Halloween? As this is a city of apartment buildings., parents have taken to bringing in their kids to our part of town to shakedown t&t the local restaurants and businesses like the delis, pizza joints, hair salons and even the liquor stores.
I got in everything we needed for dinner by the middle of the afternoon, and having met P for a single martini in the Bistro to celebrate arrival of replacement passport proving I am me again, retired to our apartment and made ravioli. We never went out again.
Watched a bit of the Frank Sinatra / Rat Pack 1958 flick, Some Came Running, adapted from a bit of the enormous James Jones novel by the same name published in 1957 -- perhaps my favorite silly movie about writing and novelists.
However, we soon retired to our lovely bed and read a bit of Bound for the Promised Land: Harriet Tubman Portrait of an American Hero** (2004) by Kate Clifford Larson. We were asleep by 10:30. That's all we really want to do these days is sleep. We never seem to get enough of it.
Not only is it Sunday, the first day of November, it is the end of Daylight Savings this year, and here is, not only the Sunday morning after the debauchery of Halloween Saturday night, but the running of the annual New York Marathon.
Fountain Bookstore owner since 2008, Kelly Justice
managed the store since 2000. The store was est. 1978.
More locally, today we prepare to leave town at 6 AM tomorrow and drive to Richmond, where we do Fountain Bookstore at 6:30 PM. Address, photos etc. can be seen on Fountain Bookstore's website here.
One may wonder if such a long drive to Richmond is worth it, but it is, in ways one cannot know -- as, for instance this "Daughter Number Three" Blogger entry that went up on Oct. 26th by no one we know, describing el V's 11th of October presentation and The American Slave Coast on "Melissa Harris Perry." What's interesting to me particularly about the woman's entry is her profile says she too grew up on a farm, and now lives in Minneapolis. Her profiles includes sf/f among her interests, with Octavia Butler as a favorite.. -- i.e. someone quite like me. The "Daughter Number Three" Blogger entry can be seen here.
Tuesday then, we drive from Richmond to Chestertown, where, once we arrive we do two radio program phoners from the Starr Center (where, while in residence as Patrick Henry Writing Fellow, the first part of The American Slave Coast was drafted 2005-2006) ), one of the programs with Baltimore Public
WYPR's Sheilah Kast, Host of "Midday."
Radio WYPR's "Midday," hosted by Sheilah Kast.
The Washington College
presentation by the Starr Center of The American Slave Coast is Wednesday evening.
Early Thursday we drive to Fairfax (a D.C. outlier) and George Mason University, where we do Slave Coast in the AM, and Ned does Cuba in the afternoon, and then drive back to NYC.
Cuban-Angolan platoon attached to 11th Tactical Group, 10th Tank Brigade, Cabinda, Angola, under command of Lt. Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, 1989-90. Cuban troops were instrumental to Angola's fight of liberation and resistence to South Africa's apartheid intervention.
Friday el V is doing an all-day symposium on Cuba and Angola at NYU.
The following Monday we fly to New Orleans for a whirlwind of parties, bookstore signings, and events at Tulane, then to Houston on Friday for more of the same.
* Very, very young el V, still living in Louisiana at the time Some Came Running came out, and obsessed with both television and movies (unlike now, when he actively dislikes almost all movies and television) was inspired by the movie to compose one of his very first song, lyrics and melody. We sang it at the start of the first time we watched it together years ago at the Film Forum (though we did so very quietly as to not disturb the rest of the audience. NYers take watching films in places like the Film Forum very seriously.
* * As must be expected with a study of Harriet Tubman, Larson provides deeply researched and sourced documentation of the Underground Railroad operation. This is something fiction writers should do too, but so seldom do it seems from the proof of utterly incorrect imagined underground railroads -- which most certainly did not operate outside the border states. Novelists seem to get the underground railroad about as right as Hollywood gets writers.
Something else of which fiction writers tend to be ignorant is that far fewer enslaved African Americans escaped from the vast prison camp that was the antebellum south than self-emancipated and free people of color were kidnapped from the north and sold down south -- despite the constant howling of slave owners that they were in eminent danger of losing all their property to those EviLe northern abolitionist agitator thieves. Because of course no enslaved person would ever think of changing their status on their own, and all people of color could only be truly happy by serving a master / mistress. These facts are in the Bible, you know.

Hello From Richmond, VA, On the Way to Chestertown...
Blogged By Daughter Number Three + Richmond, Chest...


text:
The Apple Pencil has been improved without actually changing. There's now more reason to carry it around than when the first iPad Pro launched alongside the stylus in 2015.
New apps support Apple's Bluetooth-enabled stylus, and you're probably doodling a little more than you expected. Popular photo and messaging apps like Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger encourage you to mark up pictures for fun, and iOS 11 recently bestowed upon us instant markup powers as soon as we take a screenshot.
Core apps with newfound Apple Pencil capabilities make the biggest difference in iOS 11. Instant Markup lets you draw on PDFs and photos without opening up a series of separate apps behind nested menus (how was this not a thing before?), while Instant Notes give you better access to jotting down quick thoughts with a double-tap of the lock screen – no need to waste time with that fingerprint sensor or passcode. We also like how your text in Notes cleverly moves out of the way of drawings. Everything is better thought-out in iOS 11.
It doesn't hurt that the same Apple Pencil now offers lower latency thanks to the new iPad Pro 12.9's more responsive ProMotion screen. There's just 20 milliseconds of lag, with this combo edging out the Microsoft Surface Pro 2017 and Surface Pen by just a single millisecond.
It's another minor difference that, like the screen fluidity and increased color spectrum, the average person may not notice at first, but they'll know it feels better.
We did run into issues pairing an older, dormant Apple Pencil with the new iPad Pro 12.9, even though they are compatible. Researching the iPad problem, we noticed other users in online forums have experienced Bluetooth pairing issues, which sometimes ended up meaning a dead Apple Pencil; the reports often indicate that Apple replaced the Pencil, even when out of warranty. Pairing a new Apple Pencil with the iPad Pro worked in our case.
iOS 11 and apps
Apple puts a lot of thought into tablet software updates every two years, with iOS 9 and now iOS 11 bringing with them a number of new iPad powers. Besides the Instant Markup and Instant Notes, iOS 11 treats users to an app dock, new multitasking mechanics, and a revamped Control Center.
This will change in mid-2019 however, as Apple is to roll out its brand new iPad operating system called iPadOS. This could change the iPad Pro in major ways, so check out our guide on it to see what features it'll bring when it releases.
The new app dock lets you reserve a handy row of your favorite apps along the bottom of the home screen as normal – up to 15 apps on the iPad Pro 12.9. New is the fact that you can pull up this hidden dock while in any app, so you don't have to return to the home screen to quickly switch between apps. It's very much like the macOS dock or Windows 10 system tray.
More multitasking perks come into play when you drag a docked app onto the screen. It'll open a second app in a pop-up window that hovers above the currently open app. You can use both apps, or plant the floating app to the right or left side of the main app. True side-by-side window multitasking happens in Split View, which is exclusive to the iPad Pro, iPad 9.7, iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4. It's easier to properly work in two apps at once in this mode. You can also add one more hovering Slide Out menu for a third app open, although this gets complicated even on the big 12.9-inch screen.
Control Center is very different on an iPad when you upgrade to iOS 11. You still swipe up from the bottom (dragging your finger up the screen further than when you trigger the app dock with the same gesture), but the quick settings are now all right-aligned, while a multitasking grid appears on the left side. Everything you want on this vast multi-touch screen is at your fingertips, and while it takes time to get used to these fundamental Control Center changes, it's easier than dealing with these controls split up over three menus and a fanned-out multitasking screen.
The final iOS 11 perk for iPad worth highlighting in detail is the improved on-screen keyboard. We still recommend buying Apple's pairing-free Smart Keyboard Cover accessory. But it's now faster than before to type on the virtual keyboard in pure tablet mode thanks to the ability to flick forward on keys to access secondary keys like numbers and symbols. This is much faster than switching between two keyboard layers.
The iOS 11 software suite is rounded out by changes like the new Files cloud storage system, which we found handy but haven't totally entrusted with all of our files (that'll take time), Messages in iCloud to store and better sync for texts (debuted in iOS 11.3 beta), Apple Pay Cash for peer-to-peer payments via Messages (iOS 11.2), a redesigned App Store, and Siri sounding more human and coming up with smarter answers.
The iPad Pro 12.9 is as big as a computer and, thanks to iOS 11, it acts more like a computer operating system. That's evident from the new dock and multitasking features. You're still going to work faster with even more dynamic windows, and with a mouse or touchpad, but this is leaps and bounds better than when the iPad Pro first launched onto the scene trying to make the same "this is a computer" statement.
More revamping will come with new iOS 12 feature, including iPhone X-style gestures to initiate Control Center (swipe down from the top right), return to the home screen (quickly swipe up), and slide across open apps (swipe up and scroll right or left). This makes a lot of sense for anyone who wants an iPhone X, as it unifies Apple's gestures seen on its flagship smartphone. You'll just have to wait a couple of months for the final software or download the iOS 12 beta.
Specs and performance
Apple continues to market the iPad Pro as more powerful than most laptops, and fact-checking that claim we found it to be accurate in both lab tests and, more importantly, real-world experiences. It has a lot to do with the fact that Apple has squeezed a hexacore CPU and 12-core GPU into the 64-bit A10X Fusion chipset. The Pro's computer-like-prowess is further evidenced by the option to buy a 512GB model, the highest capacity in an iOS device so far.
The A10X Fusion is a souped-up version of the chip found in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, and it was able to keep pace with our multitasking thumbs' slicing and dicing of spreadsheet menus, akin to the world's most tepid game of Fruit Ninja. That said, we weren't finding too much slowdown in the old iPad Pro 12.9 and iPad pro 9.7 either, even though they lacked the noticeable ProMotion speed boost.
Lab tests gave us a multicore score of 9,343, consistent with many laptops we test. The price seems high until you realize that the raw computing power of the new iPad Pro models matches that of a computer.

Here's the guide on How to Inject Custom CSS Codes.
Some part of the image is out of the screen. How can I fix it?
I hope that helps. Let us know if you have questions.
Hi, thanks for the support. I've one more.
Can we format the mobile version so the answer bubbles are smaller as the answer choices get smashed on my phone. So may be a little padding in between the bubbles, but bubbles of smaller size.
Is it possible that all the options appear in one row, like in your screenshot about. On my 5.5 inch mobile it's appearing in 2 rows, like the link I've attached above.
Also when I click on the option then the check mark is not marked at it's position, I think you can understand it better when click on any option.
I don't have 5.5" phone on me, I tested on 4.7" (not Android) and the checkboxes are showing in two rows, but considering the screen size that should be normal. Also, check marks are working fine there as well.
I assume you tested this on a real device, could you tell us which one?


Home > Dog Monitor > FAQs > Why my video doesn't work?
If the video feed is too slow, we suggest adjusting the video quality in the settings of the Person Station (Menu -> Settings -> Video settings -> adjust quality).
Message: Video unavailable Check if the Dog Station is not in the background mode. Audio signal is not affected.
If the general directions above don't help, could you try to switch Dog and Person Stations and could you send us an email if the issue persists? Please also add some details about which device is the Dog Station and which is the Person Station. What operating system do they use?
