Saint of the Day – 10 September – Saint Pulcheria (399-453)
Posted on September 10, 2021 September 9, 2021 by AnaStpaul
Saint of the Day – 10 September – Saint Pulcheria (399-453) Virgin Empress, Widow, (remaining chaste during her marriage), Defender of the Faith against heresy, Apostle of the poor. Born on 19 January 399 and died in July 453 of natural causes. Patronages – against in-law problems, against the death of parents, empresses, orphans, people in exile, victims of betrayal. Also known as – Pulqueria.
The Roman Martyrology states: "At Constantinople, Pucheria, Virgin and Empress, distiniguished by her piety and zeal for the True Faith."
The daughter of Arcadius and Aelia Eudoxia, the Emperor and Empress of the Eastern Roman Empire, Pulcheria was an exceptional woman. Her mother lived the life one would expect of royalty — not immoral in our sense,but luxurious and gaudy. She (Eudoxia) ran afoul of Saint John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, who declared that a silver statue of the Empress (and the unveiling celebration for it) dishonoured the Church. John had already been exiled and recalled once for criticising Eudoxia — his comparison of her to Herodias and himself to John the Baptist earned him exile to the Caucasus. When he was writing letters, critical of the Imperials, they further relocated him to Georgia, but he died on the way.
Eudoxia, died not long after, soon followed by her husband. Pulcheria, who was still a minor and her younger brother, who became Emperor were governed by regents who were appointed to administer the kingdom. These were veteran Palace administrators, loyal and wise but Pulcheria, even at fifteen, was a woman who knew her on mind.
One of the regents offered to arrange a marriage for her, perhaps to his grandson. But Pulcheria was determined to consecrate her virginity to God. Having come of age, she thanked the regent for his good service and appointed herself regent for her younger brother and set about training him in all ways to be emperor, instituting a monastic way of life in the Palace. Pulcheria insisted on chanting and praying and fasting for herself, her sisters and all the servants of the Palace. They gave up the jewelry and finery, preferred instead to provide food and clothing for the poor. This and the restoration of honours for St John Chrysostom, after his death, led to her being much admired by the Church.
Pulcheria arranged a marriage for her brother when he was twenty but the young wife was always jealous of her sister-in-law's influence over Theodosius and the two quarreled. When Theodosius died on 26 July 450, Pulcheria married Marcian, allowing her to continue to rule in place of her brother, while simultaneously not violating her vow of virginity. She died three years later, in July 453.
Pulcheria influenced the Church and its theological development by being involved in the Council of Ephesus and guiding the Council of Chalcedon, in which the Church ruled on Christological issues.
Pulcheria also engaged in a fierce battle with the Nestor, the Archbishop of Constantinople, who accused her of adultery. Eventually, in the arguments over the human nature of Christ, Nestor was vanquished and exiled. There is no doubt that Pulcheria was in the thick of fight against his heresy.

Very good entry. I learned more St John than I had known and about unknown advances in the church. I love history when it's told truthfully.
Good, thanks Hughie. I was also rather impressed by the role of this FEMALE in the synodial life of the Church!

The PC market, once left for dead, actually grew during 2019
Not so fast, smartphones. The PC market is alive, well, and thriving.
By Mark Hachman
Senior Editor, PCWorld |
After years of consistent declines, PC sales appear to have finally turned a corner. Market researchers Gartner and IDC reported today that PC sales grew during the fourth quarter of 2019, boosting the entire year into the black.
Gartner reported that PC sales grew 2.3 percent for the fourth quarter, to 70.6 million units, and 261 million units for the year. Rival analyst firm IDC largely agreed, estimating that PC unit sales grew 4.8 percent, to 71.8 million units. IDC said that worldwide PC sales grew 2.7 percent for 2019 as a whole, ending eight successive down years since the PC market grew 1.7 percent in 2011.
Gartner reported that two opposing factors affected PC sales: On one hand, the end of support for Windows 7 prompted businesses to invest in new hardware, giving new PC sales a shot in the arm. However, the ongoing Intel CPU shortage constrained sales, Gartner wrote, and actual sales could have been much higher.
"This past year was a wild one in the PC world, which resulted in impressive market growth that ultimately ended seven consecutive years of market contraction," Ryan Reith, program vice president with IDC's Worldwide Mobile Device Trackers, said in a statement. "The market will still have its challenges ahead, but this year was a clear sign that PC demand is still there despite the continued insurgence of emerging form factors and the demand for mobile computing."
IDC noted that the top three PC vendors—Lenovo, HP, and Dell—all seized the opportunity to consolidate their market share, commanding 65 percent of the PC market. Worldwide, IDC found that Lenovo is still the world's top PC vendor, with 24.8 percent of the market, followed by HP (23.9 percent) and Dell (17.4 percent). All three showed excellent gains for the quarter, with Dell's unit sales climbing by nearly 11 percent, according to IDC's estimates. Gartner's own figures were nearly identical.
Within the United States, HP topped fourth-quarter PC sales with 31.2 percent of the market, followed by Dell at 26.8 percent and Lenovo at 14.9 percent. While HP recorded a modest 4.4 percent bump in U.S PC sales for the fourth quarter, Dell and Lenovo saw bigger gains of 15.9 percent and 11.2 percent, respectively.
Gartner also published its own preliminary estimates for 2019 PC sales. In those estimates, Lenovo was also the top worldwide PC vendor for the year, with 24.1 percent market share. HP was second, with 22.2 percent, while Dell was third with 16.78 percent.
Correction: IDC reported fourth-quarter PC sales of 71.8 million units, not 7.18 million units.

Fast Food Restaurants Have More Work to Do to Provide Healthy Alternatives
Makini Brice
Update Date: May 08, 2013 11:35 AM EDT
Fast food restaurants are practically an inescapable part of the American landscape. In fact, 25 percent of Americans eat fast food at least twice per week. Consumer advocates and nutritionists have put pressure on many fast food restaurants to offer healthier menu items, and restaurants like Subway have made names for themselves in the offering of "healthier fast food". However, according to two new studies, it seems that is not enough, and that many fast food restaurants have a long way to go in terms of providing healthy food.
The first study, published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, was conducted by researchers at University of California, Los Angeles; the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute and the Western University in Health Sciences. The researchers performed the study with 97 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 21 at a food court in Carson, California. The participants went to either Subway or McDonald's and ordered a meal, then furnished the receipt to the researchers so that they could record what the participants ate and break down the nutritional information.
The results were rather grim. Though Subway is marketed as a healthy fast food option, adolescents ate virtually the same amount of calories as they did at McDonald's: 955 compared to 1,038. "We found that there was no statistically significant difference between the two restaurants, and that participants ate too many calories at both," Dr. Lenard Lesser said in a statement. "The nutrient profile at Subway was slightly healthier, but the food still contained three times the amount of salt that the Institute of Medicine recommends."
Another recent study examined whether fast food restaurants' menu items had improved in recent years. This analysis was recorded after researchers looked at the menus of McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Arby's and Jack and the Box between the years of 1997 and 2010. Though many fast food restaurants have created ad campaigns based on how many healthy items that they have on the menu, TIME reports that, on a 100-point scale, fast food restaurants' options have barely moved the needle, going from 45 to 48.
The study, published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, finds that many serving sizes are a third the size of portion offerings. The researchers acknowledge that some fast food restaurants, like West Coast chain Jack in the Box, have made progress by offering more whole grains and lowering saturated fat levels. However, more work can be done - like offering more fruit and vegetable options.

TSUSports.com: Lady Tigers win SWAC Tournament opener 1-0
Thread starter TigerFans
MONTGOMERY, Ala. – One run was all Texas Southern needed Wednesday as the Lady Tigers opened the 2019 Southwestern Athletic Conference Softball Tournament with a 1-0 win over Jackson State.
A'Leecia Bell's RBI single in the first inning to score Terren Vinson from second base was the difference in the game as the Lady Tigers (21-25) advanced to the winner's bracket semifinal round, where they will face host Alabama State on Thursday. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m.
Freshman pitcher Naomi Reyes, who was named to the All-SWAC Second Team earlier in the week, pitched a complete-game shutout while allowing only four hits and two walks. Reyes struck out nine batters in the game, and did not allow a runner to reach third base.
Senior catcher Marissa Padron went 2-for-2 at the plate, while Vinson, Tevanae Tate, and Haley Castro also knocked base hits in the game. Castro led off the bottom of the third inning with a double for TSU's only extra base hit of the game.
The Lady Tigers wasted little time manufacturing their run, as Vinson led off the game with a bunt single. She then moved to second base on Julia Bilbao's sacrifice bunt. Vinson then scored on Bell's single to left field; TSU's rally was halted at one run as Bell was retired at second base trying to stretch her hit into a double.
Texas Southern entered the tournament as the No. 1-seeded team from the SWAC's West Division. The Lady Tigers won the division for the 10th consecutive year.
Alabama State, the No. 2-seeded team from the East Division, advanced to Thursday's game with a 10-1 win over Southern.

Writing Excuses 11.43: Elemental Drama Q&A, with Tananarive Due
From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2016/10/23/11-43-elemental-drama-qa-with-tananarive-due/
Q&A Summary
Q: Rather than having a protagonist change themselves, can a protagonist be an impetus for change in others as a source of drama?
A: Yes. James Bond and iconic superheroes rarely change, but the interesting stories are about the people around them changing. Episodic stories often have a main character who doesn't change, with the changes happening to the people around them.
Q: What happens when a character refuses to learn and overcome their fatal flaw?
A: Tragedy. Key question is can the character change? If they fail, that's a tragedy.
Q: What are the lines between drama and melodrama?
A: Music. True melodrama winks at the audience. Accidental melodrama usually means you didn't introduce the characters and show us the motivation for the conflict. Make sure the emotion is earned.
Q: Do you have any tips for writing body language that reveals a character's internal state?
A: Puppetry has three movements, aggressive, passive, and regressive. Aggressive, lean towards and engage further. Passive, sit still. Regressive, lean back and disengage or avoid. Add in open or closed silhouette, with arms out or crossed, reflecting engaging or not engaging. Top it off with the point of view character interpreting or reacting. Don't overdo it! Use body language to remove ambiguity or emphasize. No head bobbing, please.
Q: When do you not show character growth? Is it sometimes good to have it not exist? Is there a reason not to add drama?
A: Contrast with external events, or contrast with another character.
Q: When writing a character that undergoes a great change that makes him or her radically different, how do you keep it realistic? Also, how do you realistically show people acting differently from their schema?
A: This is a reflection of the difference between what character is perceived to be and who they are internally. Hang a lantern on the fact that they are struggling with who they think they are and who they really are. Make the character realize who they really are and what they are really capable, and let them be heroes and heroines.
[Mary] Season 11, Episode 43.
[Brandon] This is Writing Excuses, Drama Q&A with Tananarive Due.
[Dan] Because you're in a hurry.
[Howard] And we're not that smart.
[Brandon] I'm Brandon.
[Mary] I'm Mary.
[Dan] I'm Dan.
[Howard] I'm Howard.
[Brandon] And we have special guest star, Tananarive Due. Say hi.
[Tananarive] Hello everybody.
[Brandon] Can you tell us briefly about yourself?
[Tananarive] Well, I am an author, I'm a screenwriter, I've written about a dozen novels either alone or in collaboration with my husband, Steven Barnes. And I'm very excited to be here.
[Brandon] We are super excited to have you. We are on the Writing Excuses Cruise.
[Yay!]
[Brandon] And our wonderful writers here have given us some amazing questions. So we're going to jump into these. The first one comes from both Gama and Clark. They both asked something very similar, which is "Rather than having a protagonist change themselves, can a protagonist be an impetus for change in others as a source of drama?"
[Howard] Yes.
[Brandon] Okay.
[Brandon] Expand upon that, Howard.
[Howard] I… Well, last week we talked a little bit about the James Bond stories, and how Bond so rarely changes. But the things that he does, the things that the iconic superheroes do… James Bond. Superman. Conan the Barbarian. These folks don't change. The interesting stories are the people around them who are changing, often as a result of what these people are thundering around and doing clumsily.
[Dan] Yeah. If you look at kind of the old-style episodic TV shows, The Fugitive, The Incredible Hulk… I'm thinking like 70s there, but I'm sure there's modern ones as well. Bruce Banner never changed. He was the same character every week. But he would always prompt change in the people that he met and helped week after week.
[Mary] Usually, this is one of those… The ones that you will think about immediately are where the character feels that the secondary character has self-esteem issues, and then they feel better about themselves by the end of the episode. Those are the classic and most easily represented ones. But another source of change is, honestly, the bad guy. The bad guy thinks that they're at the top of the world, and they go through a character change when they interact with the superhero. Which is now they are in jail…
[Mary] And sad.
[Dan] Character change via face punching.
[Brandon] I would say most westerns and the Mad Max series in its entirety are like this, where the main character is really not the main character.
[Mary] Oh, you're right. Fury Road is an excellent example of that.
[Brandon] Bill asks, "What happens when a character refuses to learn and overcome their fatal flaw?"
[Mary] That's usually a tragedy. So when you're looking at something, it's… The basic question you're asking with a character story is can the character change? Can they be reconciled with their identity? Can they find an identity that they're happy with? When you land at the end, you're looking at either a positive or a negative state. A positive state means that you answered yes, they can make a change. That is a happy ending. A negative state is no. They cannot change. The reason it's a tragedy is because they have failed at the thing they were trying to do.
[Tananarive] That was actually the word that popped into my mind. Tragedy. Because the reader can see the absolute necessity for the change, and the characters around them can see the necessity for the change, but the lack of change creates a sense of tragedy.
[Brandon] Would you say that in many of the stories, does it get worse? Is that kind of a hallmark of tragedy, or is it just they're at already the most absolute bad point and they just refuse to change?
[Dan] I think either way it can happen. I want to give a word of warning. As somebody who has written tragedies. It can be very hard to make it work. Because a modern audience is so conditioned for that happy ending. So writing a tragedy in which the character doesn't come out on top at the end can work and be incredibly moving, but you really have to sell it and you really have to do it right.
[Howard] The other aspect of this is, if you're just bound and determined to write that happy ending, is that your tragic case is the case that mirrors the one that our protagonist is on. We are following the character arc of someone who fails to overcome the tragic flaw. Part of their point in the story is to show us the consequence set that awaits our hero if they fail.
[Mary] The other thing is that your subgenre, if you're doing a subgenre of drama, that can be… You can have that be a happy ending, and you can have your primary driver be your tragic ending. Or the other way around. Paolo Bacigalupi's The Windup Girl does this. The prime event genre, the main driver, is total failure and tragedy. But the character growth… She… Where she winds up at the end, he manages to deliver a sense of a happy ending, while in the middle of a complete tragedy meltdown.
[Tananarive] I tried to do that in my novel My Soul to Keep, as I think about it. I have an immortal character who seems to want all the right things. He wants to stay with his family and his child. But in doing that, he's put them in great danger from his brothers who don't want their secret told. So really, he needs to step away. He will not. He absolutely will not step away. That is his tragic flaw is his hubris and his selfishness.
[Brandon] So, let's take this a slightly different direction. Mark asks, "What are the lines between drama and melodrama?" It's a really good question.
[Mary] Music.
[Howard] Dun, dun, DUNNN!
[Brandon] Would true melodrama...
[Mary] [inaudible... Here John… Music cue… There]
[Brandon] True melodrama winks at the audience. Like, if you're going to actual melodrama, melodrama. Accidental melodrama is the worry here. Not… A real… The genre of melodrama is you wink at the audience. You overplay it, you overblow it. Pratchett would do this. It is played for laughs. But how do you not do accidental melodrama? I think that's what the question is.
[Tananarive] I see this a lot in students. It's like we join our conflict already in progress. I don't know the characters. I don't understand the root of the conflicts between them. And anytime the characters are speaking in exclamation points and I'm still wondering who you are exactly…
[Mary] What!
[Tananarive] I just have a problem with this.
[Mary] What could you possibly mean!
[Dan] In the last episode, when Mary talked about Saving Private Ryan made her cry without earning it, for me, that's really where the line is. Is this emotion earned or not? Do I actually believe it? Do I care or do I not? So how do you find that line? You give it to a lot of other readers. You use a writing group, you use whatever. Make sure you can fine tune that reaction so that it pulls off, instead of misses the landing.
[Mary] I think the other thing is that melodramas are more likely to rely heavily on cliché and tropes.
[Brandon] All right. So, question. Amy asks, "Do you have any tips for writing body language that reveals a character's internal state?" Which I really like, it's kind of a subtle look at drama.
[Mary] I have an entire class on that. Does anyone mind if I just take this one?
[Go for it. Take it away.]
[Mary] Okay. So, in puppetry… What? Mary's going to talk about puppetry?
[Mary] There are three different basic types of movement. Aggressive, passive, and regressive. Aggressive movement is anything that you want to engage with further. So anything that you lean in towards. You step towards, you turn towards. This is happiness, curiosity, certain types of anger. Passive is something you don't have strong feelings about. You stay more or less in the same spot. Regressive is anything you do not want to engage with. So revulsion, fear, again certain types of anger. That's a movement away from. So a step back, a turn, a lean. So there's a difference between the training phrase "What did you say?" "What did you say?" She leaned across the table. "What did you say?" She pushed back from the table. So this is a very simple piece of body language that we are used to doing, to reading all by ourselves, normally. The other piece of body language, and again, it works just the same way on stage as it does on paper, is open or closed silhouette. So arms crossed is, again, something you don't want to engage with. Cold, even though we're talking about a temperature, you don't want to engage with that. It's still a closed body movement. Fear. Often these will be closed. Open body language, arms out, again things you want to engage with. So. "Hello." She spread her arms. "Hello." She crossed her arms. Those are things that your readers will know how to interpret. So that's one thing is the kind of body language that you use. The other piece of that is your point of view character's interpretation of these things. Their own emotional response to it will cue your readers. Okay. That was me with my compressed thing.
[Brandon] I'm going to stop us…
[Howard] [garbled] a very brief aside because I'm drawing the pictures all the time. I regularly will cut from inset panel, inset panel, where we're just seeing faces, to a panel where I have moved the position of the characters without showing them walk around, because drawing people walking is really hard. Their position and the open or closed posture, often it will just be silhouettes. I am signaling their emotional state with that tool.
[Tananarive] One quick warning. I would say to writers, don't overuse those gestures, especially from the point of view character. It's great if your point of view character is noticing gestures, but we don't… We're not often aware of the gestures we're making. So the ear tugging and nose scratching and all those sorts of things sometimes serve as a substitute for their internal emotional process that would be better served by just saying what they're feeling, or their stomach is cramping.
[Mary] I'm in complete agreement with you. The metric that I use is that I'm looking for body language that removes ambiguity or that emphasizes something. But if I don't need to emphasize or remove ambiguity, I try to leave it out, otherwise it goes into what we call in puppetry head bobbing.
[Brandon] I've seen a lot in new students in my class, that a lot of students will want to modify every sentence of dialogue with a motion. It's made me really aware of how much I do this as well, saying, "You know, I think I do this too much." The more my career has progressed, the more I've pulled back on some of these things.
[Mary] I'm very much the same way. As I say, we call it head bobbing in puppetry, where if the puppet moves its head with every single syllable, it drives us crazy. Oddly, Brandon, the example that I frequently use with my students when I'm talking about movement that has become meaningless is "Nynaeve tugged her braid."
[Brandon] Right. Yeah. Too much done and it becomes… Yeah, it's really interesting. But we have to move on…
[Chuckles]
[Brandon] We have to do book of the week because we have Tananarive. You're going to tell us about Ghost Summer.
[Tananarive] I have my first short story collection out. It just had a second printing. Ghost Summer.
[Tananarive] It was tough to sell, so I'm happy about how well it's done. It's basically stories, some of them 15 years old. Horror, primarily, but some science fiction thrown in there. Post-apocalyptic. I'm very excited about it. We have some TV news about it, but I guess I can't share it yet.
[Oooo, Whoo!]
[Tananarive] But I'll tease you with it.
[Brandon] They can find that in good bookstores everywhere, I…
[Tananarive] Hopefully, yes. Or order it from your favorite independent bookseller.
[Brandon] Excellent. Well, let's move on to… Two people asked a very interesting question. Kind of related to something we talked about last week, which is, "When do you not show character growth? Is it sometimes good to have it not exist? Is there a reason not to add drama?" Cory asks that.
[Tananarive] In a story where there are profound external events, a character's lack of change can become very significant in and of itself. Almost, to the point… Especially in short fiction, I think it's a little easier to get away with that. Where it just shows how far gone the character is, how numb the character is, that a character isn't growing, even though they should be by all obvious indications.
[Dan] I think another opportunity is to show contrast. If you got two characters. The example that lept to mind is the movie Rainman, which is about two brothers. One who kind of can't change, and the other one who is forced to adapt around him. That contrast between the two is actually really touching.
[Brandon] I would say that… I wrote a book… My first published book, Elantris, one of my goals going into it was to write a character who didn't have a deep dark tragic past. Which I really love to do, if you've read my other books. Lots of deep dark tragic pasts. I'm like, I just want a person that is more… All that's happened to him is external. It is a good person put under a ton of pressure and they weather it. It was a really fun story to write. That character didn't really change. That character was the source of change to other people. It was really appropriate for the story, because of the terrible position they were put in. So, I'd say that you can write stories like this that have a lot of drama around them with that main character. It doesn't have to be like a superhero, necessarily.
[Howard] I would categorize this as negative space. It's a place where you haven't put a bunch of drama, so that the things that are around it are more accentuated.
[Brandon] Schlock…
[Howard] There are other things you want to say.
[Brandon] Almost never changes. And he is wonderful as he is.
[Howard] Yup.
[Brandon] Steven asks, "When writing a character that undergoes a great change that makes him or her radically different, how do you keep it realistic?" This is very similar to another question, which asks, "A lot of people in real life go the other direction, they make changes all the time. Like they… We will make choices that are… Seem very different from our schema." So how do you write these realistic transformations or characters realistically acting not according to who they are supposed to be?
[Mary] I think it's the difference between who a character is perceived to be and who they are internally. One of the places that a lot of I think character conflict comes from is when a character's self-identity does not match the assigned identity that people give to them. That's one of the things that makes it feel like someone is making a 180° turn. They're probably not. It's just that their internal consistency is not matching what you think they're going to do.
[Howard] It's funny that Brandon brought up Schlock, because as of this recording, he's undergoing a bit of an identity crisis and there have been moments in which he's offered a fancy weapon and the food he loves, come help us kill things, and he says, "I just don't think I can." The reason he says that is because he's had moments in which he's thought about the actual cost to other people of his actions, and I needed to demonstrate to the readers that when you have that experience, it puts a blockade in front of you and acting, that has a cost. There was no character who could better sell that than Schlock, who we just expect to grab his guns and go start shooting. Which is not, in this story, what he leads with.
[Dan] Going the other direction, one of the… The kinds of scenes that I love to write almost more than anything else is a moral compromise. Where a character basically talks him or herself through a situation and then does the wrong thing because they've convinced themselves that it's the only way to go. What that really comes down to is a conflict between who a character really is and who a character thinks that they are. They are forced… Really hang a lantern on it, they're forced to finally justify which side of that line they're on.
[Tananarive] I love that. To piggyback on that, in writing horror, a lot of what I write is about characters who don't realize that they're up to the challenge. First of all, they didn't even know there were demons, but secondly, who thought you would be able to vanquish one? It's trying… I'm trying to guide myself, because we all have that heroism within us. Lord forbid, if something were to happen on this ship, we would discover heroism in ourselves. We would save people. We would help people. Well, yeah, as long as you stay close. I mean, most of us would.
[Tananarive] I see a few of you who would jump ahead of people in the lifeboats.
[Howard] Oh, burn.
[Tananarive] Just kidding. Just kidding.
[Mary] Snap!
[Tananarive] But it's that moment when we realize who we really are and what honestly we are all capable of, because we all do face those moments where we are forced to be heroes and heroines.
[Brandon] I think we're going to call it there. I really want to thank Tananarive for coming on with us.
[Tananarive] Oh, thank you.
[Brandon] And I want to thank our audience.
[Whoo!]
[Brandon] Howard has some homework for you.
[Howard] I do. The name for this is if I only had a brain. We're going to be starting issue with our next month of elemental genre. We're talking about the issue elemental genre. What I want you to avoid is the strawman. Take the issue that you are planning on writing about or take an issue about which you are passionate. Identify both sides. Identify which side you are on. Then take the other side and write it convincingly. Put a brain in the strawman. In fact, go ahead and put meat and bone and all of the other body bits on the strawman and turn this into a person, because actual people hold the position that you abhor or disagree with, and they are actual people. Once you can do that, once you can write both sides convincingly, we will believe your book.
[Brandon] Excellent. This has been Writing Excuses. You're out of excuses. Now go write.

Caudillismo or Weak Sister Conservatism?
There is enough overlap between working-class whites and Latinos that appealing to the one with nationalism, law and order, and laborism would naturally attract the other.
By Pedro Gonzalez
During a town hall hosted by ABC News from the battleground state of Pennsylvania, "a new U.S. citizen" asked President Trump what he is going to do to improve the path to citizenship for people like him if reelected. "We are doing something with immigration that I think is going to be very strong," Trump said, "because we want people to come into our country, people like you."
Trump went to the White House in 2016 to fight on behalf of forgotten Americans, those who aren't bathed in the limelight of ABC News. In 2020, it seems he is happy to answer to "new citizens."
That scene, and Trump's response, are a complete inversion of the raison d'être that animated the first crusade to win the White House. It also reflects the Republican Party's misinterpretation of the recent surge in minority support for Trump, specifically among Latinos.
Karl Rove's analysis of that phenomenon is typical. Latinos support Trump because they hate socialism, says the Bushite. Well, that might explain why some Cubans support Trump. But it cannot explain why, say, about one-third of Latinos in California, mostly of Mexican ancestry, back the president. Across party lines, most Latinos support a more active role for the state—and in this way, I should note, they are not attitudinally dissimilar from working-class whites.
The history of Latin America shows populist movements can manifest with a more active role for the state, i.e., what the GOP would consider "socialism"—Peronism in Argentina was essentially "right-wing socialism." In our time, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and the generals in his cabinet have supported public investment and state enterprises, although they're now flirting with neoliberalism via Economy Minister Paulo Guedes. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is softer on crime than his predecessors, but he's an economic populist and an old-fashioned nationalist. A message that would play well with most Latinos, then, is a promise to make the government work more effectively for the people rather than for the oligarchs.
Moreover, even if in the name of making government more efficient for the people we want to dismantle and downsize some of it, we would still need to be willing to exercise political power in a way hitherto alien to the Republican Party.
Rove's take on Latinos is wrong, but it's probably not their backs he wants to scratch, anyway. His view provides a convenient excuse for the administration to drop the economic populism so offensive to his paymasters, picking up right where he left off with the flaccid formula of tax cuts conservatism à la George W. Bush.
Not to be outdone by Rove, Dana Perino offers an even worse analysis, tying the increase in Latino support to the administration's backing off on talk about illegal immigration and the border wall this time around. Perino's view plays well with liberal white women and effete GOP strategists, but not with anyone else.
If Trump won't take up the mantle of a caudillo proper, we must hope that whoever comes next will build on his success and recognize the latent potential for such a coalition to achieve lasting political dominance.
When framed effectively, immigration restrictionism, which is adjacent to law and order, is a broadly popular issue. In a recent study published by the New York Times, eligible voters were asked how "convincing" they found messaging lifted from Republican talking points. Among other elements, the messaging condemned "illegal immigration from places overrun with drugs and criminal gangs" and called for "fully funding the police, so our communities are not threatened by people who refuse to follow our laws." Nearly three out of five white respondents found the message convincing, while exactly the same percentage of blacks agreed—as did an even higher percentage of Latinos.
Though researchers found these results "sobering," they're not all that surprising.
Just recently, 69 percent of Latinos said "yes" when they were asked: "Would you support . . . temporarily blocking nearly all immigration into the United States during the coronavirus outbreak?" Recall that 58.5 percent of Latinos polled in November 2018 said they "support Donald Trump's immigration policies" even if they disliked him personally.
From his perch at the Cato Institute, Alex Nowrasteh also tossed his contemptuous two cents at the issue, insisting that if Latinos are "coming over to Trump," then Republicans must accept Latinos can politically assimilate and, he implies, therefore embrace open borders.
As usual, Nowrasteh misses the point. It is because Latinos have not fully assimilated politically that we retain our atavistic affinity for "caudillo" style leadership, and therefore like Trump because he resembles a Latin American strongman who blends nationalism, economic populism, and social conservatism. The degree to which Trump's policies match his macho rhetoric is debatable, but he nevertheless wears the muscular visage of a caudillo.
Contra Rove and Perino, then, it is far more likely that Trump's recent increase in support among Latinos is the result of his delayed but ultimately firm stance against Black Lives Matter-induced rioting.
Latinos share with whites the bullseyes on their backs at which Black Lives Matter occasionally aim. The proximity in particular of "white-presenting" Latinos to "Eurocentricity" through the Spanish conquests of the Americas, say woke activists, provides them with privilege in the grand scheme of "white supremacy."
In South Florida, the Miami New Times reports, "non-Black Latinos often have a blind spot when it comes to recognizing themselves as a minority in the United States." This tension at least played a part in the desire among Latinos to see rioting forcibly extinguished. As José Niño reported, 54 percent of Latino Democrats supported sending in the military to quell rioting in June, while 60 percent of all Latinos supported some form of military presence. Similarly, a July 2020 Gallup survey showed 83 percent of Latinos want more or the same police presence in their area.
Simply put, we like and respect strong leaders.
"Mexicans can't stand political correctness and appreciate powerful people sin pelos en la lengua—'without hairs on the tongue,' a Mexican aphorism for when someone speaks their mind," journalist Gustavo Arellano wrote in April 2016, explaining Trump's appeal. "Sure, Bernie Sanders is as straight-talking as Trump, but where he fails as a Mexican candidate and Trump succeeds is that the latter also passes himself off as a caudillo (a strongman)."
Arellano and I disagree on just about everything else but this: "Mexicans don't want a perceived pussy in office, and Trump's bellicose babadas make people think he's tough when he's actually little more than a chavala."
Arellano was right. Trump went on to win about one-third of Latinos nationwide in 2016 while taking a hardline stance on immigration. Perino's analysis explodes in light of this.
But that was then, and this is now: sources report that the White House is embracing the Karl Rove-Dana Perino analysis, using it to justify a more open immigration agenda that has been in the works for a while. We have already seen fleeting glimpses of what is to come, when Trump let slip that amnesty may be on the table for DACA beneficiaries, which observers connected to Rove's influence on the administration.
The reason people like senior advisor Jared Kushner and Domestic Policy Council chief Brooke Rollins look for any pretense to justify a permissive immigration agenda is a matter of short-sightedness. They really are deluded enough to want to win pyrrhic victories at the ballot box, demographically damning the country in the long run.
Immigration, in general, is bad for the Republican Party's ostensive aims, and good most of all for the Democratic Party, which views immigration as the mechanism by which they can establish single-party rule. Seizing this unique moment in history by imposing an immigration moratorium and promoting working-class policies under a caudillo would facilitate the integration of Latinos into the national fabric.
On the other hand, there is a lot of money in the immigration business. Kushner has been a staunch ally to labor exploitation, and Rollins is a long-time Koch Industries shill who is now running the chief White House domestic policy forum.
The fortuitous combination of Trump's caudillo visage, the Black Lives Matter riots, and the economic strain brought on by the pandemic panic has created conditions conducive to incorporating Latinos more effectively into the white working-class coalition that played a part in the triumph of 2016. In other words, there is enough overlap between working-class whites and Latinos that appealing to the one with nationalism, law and order, and laborism would naturally attract the other—and Trump needs working-class white voters more than any other group to win. Caudillismo, as it so happens, appeals to the single largest constituency—working-class whites—and the largest minority group, Latinos.
But the administration appears set to squander this rare opportunity, instead using it to retcon "America First" into caffeinated Bushism. Surely some people in the White House think they're clever, but they're really just being assimilated into the establishment they claim to oppose without even realizing it.
If Trump won't take up the mantle of a caudillo proper, we must hope that whoever comes next will build on his success and recognize the latent potential for such a coalition to achieve lasting political dominance. A true nationalist-populist coalition with an emphasis on law, order, and morality is the only coalition capable of uniting enough people to create a better future.

One response to "Caudillismo or Weak Sister Conservatism? "
10/3/20 at 4:31 am
Good article. Trump has gone against almost every policy issue he ran on in 2016. It's hard to say he's being duped when he was the one who invited in the old guard.
If he would have implemented everything he promised he would've gone down as the greatest president in history. Instead, he has chosen the Bushite and neo-con path and turned his back on the American white working class. His legacy is sure to be in shambles even if he does miraculously win a second term.
One of the reasons he is pandering so hard to blacks in particular, and latinos to a lesser extent, is that he knows he has done nothing for his base and so needs to make up for it with other demographics. I'm sure his re-election team has oriented his approach to a possible 2nd term accordingly.
He's either too weak for the times, or a fraud.


Scott Young completed every course from MIT's computer science online offerings in one year. There are 33 total courses. Since a typical college student takes 8 courses per year, this amounts to roughly doing a bachelor's degree in one year.
I think that this matches up very well with the way I have been structuring my courses lately. The first half of my semester features students reading the textbook and answering clicker questions—coverage. Students are also taking quizzes during this time—practice.
The second half of the course features students working on problems and presenting them. This is designed to lead to insight, although I am not quite there yet. I need to figure out how to design the problems better.

I really like that quote for number 3. I think it would be cool to have students work several similar problems until they could tell you the parts that they really struggle with.
How do you envision working this? Would they work on the similar problems in class? Out of class? What sort of discussions would you have with the individuals/small groups/large groups?
I think I'd have it be outside of class. Tell them to work several problems,keeping track of similarities and to identify the harder steps. Require a video just reporting the results, not showing all the original work.
Hmm. . .if I weren't teaching a new course next semester, I might be tempted to try that.

like flags of an impoverished country.
shameless in the greasy wind.
Pigeons flit from roof to roof.
They're the evidence of people hereabouts.
they scour the ground for handouts.
with a hunk of bread left over.
But you couldn't tell it from the windows.
therefore families must be drawn.
Nobody knows what it's like to bloom.
than show themselves to strangers.
and they keep it to themselves.
the near invisible threads of feeling.
that almost opaque shift in tone.
plugged a baby in a pram.
in a prison country club.
broke up a kids' birthday party.
that these things happen to other people.
that I'm not somebody else.
and corporate thievery's a blessing.
a degree in shoulder shrugging.
could you please all turn away.
who's breathing near your ear.
scream and scream the place down.

October 21, 2020 soccer fan
European Championship is one of the most exciting football events, and everyone is looking forward to the spectacle and the opportunity to support their favorite team. Even though the European championship had to be postponed for the year 2021, we can still discuss team line ups and get hyped up for the upcoming competition. Furthermore, this does not mean there aren't plenty of other competitions to keep us occupied and entertained. If you want to place bets and enjoy sports you can always look out for current bonus codes.
Given how England is one of the most popular teams out there, it can be fun to discuss what their line-up for Euro 2021 will look like. So let's go over some of their top stars at the moment.
Jadon is a 20-year old wing player who left a remarkable impression on both fans and opponents. He is quick on his feet, makes amazing assists, and can also score with precision. Sancho currently plays for Borussia Dortmund, and even though the team as a whole, has been performing great lately, he really stood above the rest. We also had a chance to see him shine for the national team, and we hope we will get to enjoy more of his skills in Euro 2021.
Mason is a midfielder that a lot of people are hoping to see as England's squad member in 2021. He belongs to the group of young players at Chelsea, and much like Sancho he is a cut above the rest. Even though his defensive plays could use some polish, he is overall a valuable asset to the game and can contribute greatly when his team needs to score.
Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander Arnold
Liverpool is one of the most popular teams in the entire world, and it also boasts a few homegrown superstars, like Jordan and Trent. Jordan Henderson has been one of Liverpool's top tier players and even though there was a lot of criticism flying his way, he always proves them wrong. He scores in crucial moments, he is an exceptional team leader and he has a lot of experience.
Trent is an amazing right back and impressed everyone over and over with his plays. He has amazing defensive skills, and his assistance was a crucial component to scoring on numerous occasions. Trent clearly has a bright future ahead of him and everyone is looking forward to seeing how he develops.
Mason is a young striker from Manchester United, and given his sheer speed and power, it's highly unlikely we won't be seeing him in the line-up for Euro 2021. He still has room to grow and refine his skills of course, so he might be a substitute in the upcoming competition but time will tell.
One of the players who got his moment in the spotlight recently, due to his teammates' injuries at Arsenal. He has never been picked to play for England but with 2021 this might change. During his limited time on the field he has demonstrated amazing dribbling and passing skills, he rarely lost a ball, he scored two goals and provided valuable assistance for four, all in the course of just six games.

Q: What (classes of) Banach spaces are known to have Schauder basis? Motivation:
I am trying to see for what class of Banach spaces the following result is true:

There exists an increasing sequence of finite dimensional subspace {$V_n$} of a Banach space X (with some property) and corresponding projections $P_n: X \to V_n$ such that
  a) $\cup V_n$ is dense in $X$
  b) $\sup_n ||P_n|| < \infty$

I know if the space has Schauder basis, then the result is automatic. Hence I would appreciate if you can let me know:
i) a reference for the above result (if it exists)
ii) positive results for large class of Banach spaces which has a Schauder basis
I have tried Googling and Wikipedia, but couldn't find systematic information about existence of Schauder basis. The only counterexample I found was given by Per H. Enflo.
Thank you! I apologize if there is any inappropriate etiquette in my post as I am relatively new to the forum.

A: The property you define is usually called the $\pi$ property.
For a good expository article, read Casazza's contribution in the Handbook of the Geometry of Banach Spaces, vol. 1.
Most of the classical separable Banach spaces are known to have a Schauder basis. The book of Albiac and Kalton is good place to start. Singer's two volumes "Bases in Banach Spaces" probably contains more than you would ever want to know.
In [JRZ], which you mentioned in a comment, you will find some results on when the $\pi$ property implies the existence of a finite dimensional decomposition and some results on the existence of bases, such as a separable complemented subspace of an $L_p$ space must have a Schauder basis.

Death Of A Free Spirit: Conclusion
Posted on July 15, 2013 by Deranged
Los Angeles County Sheriffs had few clues in the murder of Alexandra "Xandra" Roos — but then most murder cases don't come with a suspect and confession tied with a big red bow. The lack of evidence in the case meant that investigators had to rely on old-fashioned grunt work — and they began to question all of Xandra's friends and acquaintances to see what they could shake loose. A logical place to begin was with Xandra's ex-lover, and father of her child, Alan Brown.
According to Brown he had become involved with Xandra in 1950 during a rough patch in his marriage. After giving birth to a little girl, Xandra threatened him with a paternity suit unless he agreed to support the child. Brown decided to pay up and he had been sending Xandra $10 weekly support through the City Attorney's office for a couple of years.
Homicide investigators weren't completely satisfied with Brown's statement, it seemed too neat, so they pushed him a little harder.
During his interrogation, Alan revealed that he'd taken Xandra out for at least four months before she had finally consented to have sex with him. He also confessed to the cops that he and the dead woman had continued their affair, off and on, until there was an ugly confrontation between Xandra and his wife, Viola.
Xandra had been pressing Alan for child support, and to make sure he knew that she was serious she turned up at the house he shared with Viola. The visit didn't go well. Viola called Xandra a bum, and Xandra responded by calling Viola a slut. It was a nightmare for Alan who had been led woefully astray by his penis. He was just an average Joe in his 40s looking to bed a sweet young thing while he and his wife were on the outs — but his entanglement with Xandra had nearly cost him his marriage and had briefly made him a murder suspect. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
While detectives were grilling the people who had played a part in Xandra's life, the fate of her daughter, Allison, was getting more complicated by the minute. Xandra's will made it clear that she didn't want her mother and step-father, Frieda and Hugh Schmidt of Tukahoe, NY, to have any role in her daughter's upbringing. Xandra had stipulated that the Schmidt's should:
"…be not designed or appointed guardian of the person or property of my daughter."
Mrs. Hannah Frank of the Bronx, N.Y., who had once taken care of Allison, was named
as the girl's guardian. But Alan's wife Viola declared that not only had she forgiven her husband for the affair she was eager to bring his child with Xandra into their home. She declared:
"We want to make a real home for Allison and give her the love parents — something she has never known."
The battle for guardianship of Allison raged on while services for her mother were held in the chapel of the McGlynn Mortuary. Among the small group of mourners was Xandra's mother, who flung herself over the flower-decked coffin of her murdered daughter. She sobbed uncontrollably for a few minutes before being led away.
Xandra's personal life and finances were so complex that detectives despaired of ever untangling the mystery of her murder. They didn't even have a clear motive for the killing until they learned of Xandra's relationship with Frank and Anita Meloche.
Xandra had first met Anita and Frank in July of 1954 when she answered their rental ad. The situation at first seemed to be mutually beneficial — Anita cared for Allison while Xandra worked, which meant that the Meloches collected both rent and money for babysitting. Then in August or September Xandra approached Anita with an interesting proposition. Xandra offered to loan the couple enough money to purchase a bigger home — the only attached string was that Anita would continue to care for Allison.
It sounded like a good deal, so Anita and Frank went for it. Xandra loaned them five thousand dollars (equivalent to $43,000 in current U.S. dollars) which they used to buy a home on the 4200 block of Perlita Avenue in Glendale.
Xandra moved with Allison to a nearby apartment, and then began to make plans to build a second house behind the home that Anita and Frank had purchased. The structure that Xandra had in mind turned out to be too large for the lot, so it was back to square one. Xandra then came up with the idea to purchase the house next door, but all the wheeling and dealing was getting to be too much for Anita.
Xandra had one last suggestion, and it seemed bizarre to Anita. Xandra said:
"What do you want to stay with Frank for? I can do so much for you, Anita, if you would only let me. Leave Frank and we'll go somewhere."
Anita was being run ragged between caring for her own children, babysitting for Allison, and running errands for Xandra. On top of everything, Xandra wouldn't stop pressuring her to leave Frank, something Anita refused to do.
Once detectives discovered that Xandra had made a sizable personal loan to the Meloches, they had a thread to tug on. Money is a powerful motive — but would it lead them to a killer?
One of my favorite Sheriff's investigators, Det. Sgt. Ned Lovretovich, interviewed Frank and he collapsed, sobbing — then he spilled the whole awful story. (For more on Ned see: Thugs With Spoons and Death Doesn't Sleep )
Frank said that at about 6:30 p.m. on the evening of January 7, 1955, Anita asked him to go to the store for her. The errand shouldn't have taken more than 30 minutes — but he was gone for over four hours.
When he finally turned up, Anita asked him:
"Where were you so long?"
Frank replied:
"I just got rid of her".
Anita fainted.
Once she had regained her senses, Frank confessed to Anita — and he told the same version of events to homicide investigators.
Frank had met Xandra at a streetcar stop at the intersection of Glendale Blvd. and Brunswick Ave. He wanted to persuade Xandra to stop making demands on Anita and to leave them alone. He said:
"She (Xandra) didn't like me. She kept pestering my wife to take our children and come and live with her. She was making a slave out of my wife. I decided to tell her to stay away from us."
Xandra got into Frank's car and their chat quickly turned into a heated argument. Frank said that Xandra taunted him about his manhood, or lack thereof, and then slapped him hard across the face. Frank pulled his car to the curb near the intersection of Hart St. and Sepulveda in Van Nuys, and then he snapped. He said that he grabbed Xandra around the neck and throttled her — minutes later she slipped to the floor of the car, dead.
Frank drove her body out near the beach where it was discovered a couple of weeks later.
Frank said that he couldn't take any more of Xandra's abuse, and that he had felt an explosion in his brain which compelled him to grab the woman and choke the life out of her. Evidently Frank was no stranger to brain explosions. He had been discharged from the Navy during WWII after being diagnosed as a "constitutional psychopath" — a condition described in 1926 in The Journal of the American Medical Association as:
"…a generic term to include the six classes of constitutional psychopathic states noted in the nomenclature; criminalism, emotional instability, inadequate personality, paranoid personality, pathologic liar and sexual psychopathy."
Frank Meloche was found guilty of murder and sentenced to from one to ten years in prison.
Despite Xandra's will custody of her daughter, Allison, was awarded to Frieda.
Judge Wolfson said that he had disregarded Xandra's wishes because:
"…sometimes we have an unconscious hate for those we know we have wronged."
It wasn't made clear in what way Xandra may have wronged her mother and stepfather.
Alan and Viola Brown had filed a petition for custody of Allison, but the judge denied it because he thought they seemed a little too interested in the girl's inheritance.
The only good news in connection with the Roos case was that the Sheriff's investigators, who had managed to solve the case despite the initial lack of evidence or clues, were recognized for their accomplishment. Cited were: Lt. Al Etzel, commander of the Sheriff's homicide detail, and Det. Sgts. Harry Andre, Claude Everley, Jack Lawton, Norman Peterson, Ned Lovretovich, Hubert A. Waldrip, Norman Hamilton, Ray Hopkinson and Lyle Stalcup.
Unfortunately even a successful investigation couldn't bring Xandra back to life. Alexandra Roos was a fascinating and complex woman; she was a free spirit with a strong will and sense of independence unusual for her time; but she still had a long way to go — how sad that she never got the chance to realize her potential.

Death Of A Free Spirit
On January 23, 1955 the decomposing body of a woman was discovered lying face down in some weeds, ten feet down the bank of the west side of Latigo Canyon Road in Malibu.
The body was resting on a bed of heavy brush, inches above the dirt, and the head and face were almost completely decomposed. When Los Angeles County Sheriffs Detectives examined the woman in situ she was still completely dressed and her clothing was intact. She was wearing a beige nylon skirt with variable colored horizontal weave; green seersucker blouse; nylon stockings; white cotton garter belt; and a short black wool coat. Her undergarments were not disturbed. The woman was determined to be 25-30 years of age with crooked teeth and a slight overbite. She was a brunette, five feet tall, and petite. No shoes had been found at the location, however the cops thought she would wear a size 4 to 5. There was no jewelry and no ID found on or near the body.
Sheriff's investigators had nearly nothing to go on — and until they had the results of the autopsy they couldn't even be sure that the woman had been murdered.
The coroner completed his autopsy and concluded that Jane Doe had been struck over the head and strangled. It was a murder case. But the cops didn't know who she was, where she'd been slain, or by whom.
With so few clues to sink their teeth into the detectives followed up on the scant leads they had from the clothing found on the corpse. They got nowhere.
On the morning of January 24, 1955, Bob and Joy Monetti arrived at the Sheriff's detective bureau and said that they had read an account of the woman and her clothing and believed her to be their missing friend, Alexandra Roos. Joy was able to positively ID the dead woman's clothing as belonging to Roos, and the coroner confirmed the identification based on her fingerprints — she had worked at an Air Force base.
Joy and Alexandra had worked together in the credit department at the Bank of America located at 7th and Olive. Joy told the detectives that Anita Meloche, who babysat for Alexandra's three year old daughter Allison, might be able to provide further information regarding Roos and her associates.
When questioned, Anita stated that she had been caring for Allison and had last seen Alexandra at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, January 7th. When Alexandra didn't turn up to collect her daughter Anita was worried — but not enough to report the woman she knew as "Xandra" missing. Xandra had stayed away for a weekend before, but when Monday rolled around and there was still no sign of her Anita decided she'd better take action. Anita went to the Highland Park Division of LAPD (now the home of the L.A. Police Museum) and filed a missing persons report.
Detectives began to piece together a picture of Xandra. She was thought to have had financial problems, but the supposed financial difficulties made no sense when the cops learned that she had been left a $15,000 (equivalent to $45,000 in current U.S. dollars) trust fund in New York and it had been under her complete control since she had turned twenty-one.
Abbe Miller, the New York attorney who had represented Xandra in litigation connected with the trust fund, said that the young woman had never known her birth father who had died before she was born. She was raised by her mother and stepfather, Hugo and Frieda Schmidt, but she never got along with either of them and finally cut them out of her life.
Xandra had given birth to her daughter in 1951. The identity of Allison's father was unknown until Alan H. Brown, 46, a married film technician, came forward and admitted paternity.
Xandra was described by acquaintances as being "careless" in her relationships with men, she seemed to have a penchant for older guys. Joy Monetti said:
"She had two or three boy friends of her own age, but she seemed to prefer the company of older men. She didn't go out very often, though. She spend a lot of her time at the library."
The characterization of Xandra by her acquaintances calls to mind the expression "damned with faint praise":
Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And without sneering, teach the rest to sneer;
Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike,
Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike.
–Alexander Pope, 1734
In nearly every statement made about Xandra she was described as moody, reserved, but also studious — which, combined with speculations about her careless love life, made her sound like a bookish slut. A woman should expect kinder epitaphs from her friends.
Xandra had kept a diary for at least ten years and it revealed an independent streak and a strength of character than must have seemed confusing or even threatening to people during a time when women were still expected to be perfect wives and mothers.
Xandra had been a free spirit even in high school where her motto was: "Kiss them for it's a pleasure".
In her diary, Xandra wrote:
"I want to live by my own motivation, attached to someone I would feel the necessity of performing all the small duties and chores that make life worthwhile…"
She also confided to her diary:
"Accept me the way I am, for what I am, or do not accept me at all."
Remarkably, only a couple of weeks after having been handed a murder mystery Sheriff's homicide investigators had a suspect and a confession.

Victor Sanchez del Amo has announced he will take legal action against Malaga for unlawful dismissal after he was fired when a sexually explicit video of him appeared on social media.
Sanchez del Amo was sacked by the Spanish second division side for "disciplinary reasons" on Saturday. Accompanied by a lawyer and speaking for the first time since then, he said in a news conference on Wednesday: "Regarding my sacking, I reiterate that it is unjust and I'm in disagreement. I will take legal action.
"I am proud of the work we have done from the first to the last day at Malaga. All that we have done is to do what was best for Malaga. I have done nothing wrong."
Malaga suspended Sanchez del Amo after the coach said on Twitter on Jan. 7 a crime had been committed against his privacy and claimed he had been a victim of harassment and blackmail before the video was posted on the internet.
Ex-boss sues club over sex video sacking
"Later that day [Jan. 7] the club, through its general director, sends to me by Whatsapp a statement in which they suspend me from the team to investigate the situation," Sanchez del Amo said.
"They don't allow me access to the club or any communication with club employees, including my technical staff. They don't even ask about how I am ... They request that I attend a meeting on Jan. 13 at La Rosaleda [Stadium].
"I interpret this statement as a sign that the club doesn't want me and therefore I propose a simple solution, which is for them to pay me what I am owed to that day.
"The club's response is for me to renounce part of what I'm owed and what I've worked. I believe it's beneath one's dignity. Then they request to monitor what I say regarding the situation and that is not something that I'm prepared to accept.
"No one is going to take away my freedom of speech. I told the club I wanted to continue, to allow me to return to work, that I have done nothing wrong to be suspended. The response by the club was to send me the letter of dismissal."
The former Real Madrid player said the support he has received has been overwhelming.
"I have received a lot of support from players, former players, referees, executives, clubs," he said. "I want to thank the RFEF president [Luis Rubiales] for his support in this situation.
"I want to thank my family, which has been a victim of this situation."
Rubiales said last week "the doors of the federation would be open to him" if he were to be sacked.
Sanchez del Amo said he hoped those responsible for posting the video without his consent would be taken to justice.
"I want to thank the police for the work they are doing and the support they have given me to move forward," he said. "My maximum respect. The investigation is ongoing. I have suffered a crime against my privacy.
"This is a very serious matter, not to be treated trivially. These are crimes whose victims reach the point of committing suicide. As I've been informed by police, the main targets are minors and women.
"As I told my children when I sat down with them, I was glad it happened to me and not to them. I hope that this is a lesson to those that have committed a crime against me."
Sanchez del Amo also said he hoped his decision would help others in similar situations to seek help from police.
"I decided not to accept that blackmail, because I would only be promoting these criminals," he said.
"Because of my negative response [to them], I'm in the situation that I am right now. I plead to those that are in a situation like this to go to the police as you don't know how comforting it is."
