In Jordan, The Comic Book Superheroes Fight Extremism
By Alice Fordham
We've been hearing a lot about cartoons for all the wrong reasons recently: the horrifying attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris, the divisive images, the threat of extremism. But one man in Jordan has been using comic book superheroes to try to bridge the divide and curb extremism.
His name is Suleiman Bakhit, and at a bar in Jordan's capital, Amman, he cracks open his laptop to show off some heroes. The artwork is sophisticated, vivid and influenced by Japanese comics.
"This is Element Zero. It's the story of a Jordanian special forces operator," he says of one of his superheroes.
He scrolls down his computer and the story bursts off the screen — disguises, deception and victory against extremists.
Bakhit started these comics after he met some children in a conservative area of this mostly Muslim country. He asked them about their heroes. They said they didn't really have any, though they heard a lot about someone called Osama bin Laden.
"Talking to those kids, what it showed me is there's a huge appetite for positive role models, real heroes," he says.

Comic book creator Suleiman Bakhit says he found that many kids did not have heroes to look up to and sometimes gravitated to religious extremists. This frame is from his story about a Jordanian special forces hero.
One of Jordan's royal foundations and the education ministry paid for Bakhit to to produce the printed comics that are distributed to schools.
It's one way Jordan is trying to dispel radical views in a still-stable country which worries about extremism seeping in from its chaotic neighbors Iraq and Syria.
Other tactics include the minister for Muslim affairs asking imams to keep their sermons moderate.
Under King Abdullah II, and his father King Hussein before him, Jordan has managed to stay largely calm for decades despite the region's volatility. Still, some think that despite the carrots it's offering, the government is using too much stick.
Comic book creator Suleiman Bakhit draws superheroes, including Element Zero, who fight religious extremists.
Last year, an anti-terror law was broadened and people are now being jailed for "sowing discord" online. Marwan Shehadeh, a religious man who is also an academic and an author, says that when you imprison someone it makes them look heroic, and jail hardens people.
"You created an extreme person who will [seek] revenge in the future," he says.
Shedadeh estimates that extremists in Jordan have grown from hundreds to thousands in recent years.
A key moment came in September when Jordan joined the U.S. in the coalition against the self-proclaimed Islamic State, or ISIS. Radicals who admired ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi now also see him as standing up to the Americans. The radicals also despise Jordan for helping in airstrikes against someone they admire.
In fact, he's seen as a hero if he can "implement an Islamic State and defeat many enemies," Shedadeh says.
In Jordan, you often hear worries about the kingdom's role in the coalition fueling extremism.
Ruheil Gharaibeh, a moderate Islamist with the Muslim Brotherhood and a university professor, says he keeps an eye on what students are saying in what they put on social media.
"When I criticize radicalism and violence they don't like it," he says.
A survey by the University of Jordan last year found 10 percent of respondents consider ISIS a legitimate resistance organization.
For Bakhit, the comic book creator, this extremist undercurrent is very real. He has a scar across his face from an attack a few years back.
"I realized that their attack meant that I was doing the right thing. I kicked the hornet's nest," he says.
And like the cartoonists in France, he's still creating comics.

The Conversion and Persecution of J.R.R. Tolkien's Mother
In a letter to his own son J.R.R. Tolkien wrote that his mother was a "gifted lady of great beauty and wit, greatly stricken by God with grief and suffering who died in youth of a disease hastened by persecution of her faith."

Matthew Archbold Blogs June 3, 2019
Courageous faith in the face of persecution has inspired millions. One can't over estimate the consequences of Christian courage. I've long wondered is St. Stephen's forgiving of his murderers, his love in the face of violence had an impact on Saul who would become Paul, one of the greatest evangelists in Church history. But even the smallest acts of enduring faith can impact millions.
In 1904, a young widow with two boys died in England. Few mourned Mabel Tolkien. History would not have marked her life or passing at all had not her example of steadfastness to her faith inspired her son, who would grow up to become a literary giant. Her father, John Suffield, was a merchant married to Emily Sparrow. Together, they had seven children and ran a shop in Birmingham. When Mabel was just 18 she began seeing a 31-year-old banker named Arthur Tolkien. The two exchanged numerous letters as Arthur went off to South Africa in search of a lucrative career in banking.
In 1891, after being parted for two years, Mabel set sail alone on the ship named the Roslin Castle to be reunited with her love. When the two were reunited, they married in an Anglican Church. Two children followed. The two Tolkien boys were named John Ronald Reuel and Hilary Arthur Reuel. After a few years, she grew increasingly worried about the giant spiders, the effect of the intense heat and the danger of wild animals around the children so she left South Africa for England with the children and a promise to return in the near future.
But soon after, Arthur fell ill and died. Heartbroken but determined to bring up her children in love, Mabel settled in a rural town outside Birmingham. Many believe it was this idyllic setting that inspired the Shire in J.R.R. Tolkien's later writings. It was Mabel who taught her children to love language, literature and art. Mabel also passed on her love of Christ. In 1900, Mabel and her two boys entered into the Catholic Church. This could not have been an easy decision as virulent anti-Catholicism was mainstream in England at that time. To be Catholic was to be un-British.
This was just 14 years after the death of Blessed John Henry Newman, whose conversion was so controversial. In fact, Mabel converted along with her sister May Incledon and joined St. Anne's, which Newman had transformed from a gin distillery into a chapel. Mabel's Protestant family did not respond well to her decision. Neither did the Tolkiens who were Baptist. The two sisters were vehemently urged to renounce the Catholic faith. In fact, Mabel's sister May, at the insistence of her Anglican husband, did renounce her Catholic faith only to become a Spiritualist. But Mabel never renounced her newfound faith even in the face of ostracization, both personally and economically. The families essentially cut off the young widow whose health was fading but she persisted with the help of a priest, Father Francis Xavier Morgan, who became a father figure to the boys.
On Nov. 14, 1904, Mabel passed away from diabetes. Her son J.R.R. Tolkien was 12 years old. Many years later he wrote a letter to his own son Michael about his mother and said of her that she was a "gifted lady of great beauty and wit, greatly stricken by God with grief and suffering who died in youth (at 34) of a disease hastened by persecution of her faith."
As she lay dying, she wasn't so worried about her own death but about her sons and their faith. So concerned that the boys would be forced to renounce their Catholic faith by her own family or the Tolkiens, she named Fr. Francis Xavier Morgan as the boys' legal guardian.
Mabel Tolkien's faith perseverance had a lifelong impact on Tolkien and colored many of his most well-known stories, including The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. And in turn, those stories of faith and courage have helped so many others persevere in times of trouble.
There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tower high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.
No life is small. No act of faithful perseverence is insignificant because its effects can not be fully measured by others. Only heaven can truly measure the impact of faith and love.

Pray to Gaia
Long Live Biodiversity!

Let us pray to Gaia and awaken the sleepy unconsciousness of our time.
Olmstead Point, USA. Photograph: Charlie Waite
THE ANCIENT GREEKS looked at Nature and saw a grand display of divinity. They saw the vitality of Pan in the countryside and in wild animals. They saw the pristine sense of Artemis in the purity of an unviolated forest. They saw the beauty of Aphrodite in the shimmering light of a rising sun on an ocean or a lake, and in the multifarious colours and shapes of a garden. They saw the mysterious dim brightness of Hera and Hekate in the moonlight on a dark night and in the sounds of birds and animals stirring the night with fright and wonder. They built shrines to these spirits they encountered whenever they ventured into Nature, and they told stories of them and painted images of them.
Renaissance philosophers said that you don't have to be pagan to appreciate the spirituality of Nature. These various gods and goddesses are facets, they said, of the God many honour as the monotheistic source of life and meaning. In other words, you see God when you stop to wonder at a copper sunset or a misty moon. Nature is the avenue towards nurturing your spirit. It is the way in which the divine most powerfully shows itself.
There is a tendency, even among environmentalists, to adopt the 20th-
century way of seeing Nature, as a source of material commodities needed for the heroic building of culture. But that isn't sufficient motivation for preserving Nature, because it doesn't address our essence: what we need to survive as humans. We are people of body, soul and spirit. We need constant feeding of our vision, moral
sensibility and piety, and if Nature is at all diminished, our spirituality goes into eclipse.
The Greeks also revered the Earth as Gaia, a spirituality that echoes softly whenever we use the words geography and geology. Their Gaia is not only an organic mechanism but also a spiritual entity; a being with a life of its own and a very particular identity, not to be confused with any other planet. Renaissance philosophers said that the Earth is an animal; not just an organism but a being that can be loved and needs our care.
The Greeks prayed a psalm to Gaia that, among other things, says,
Both beautiful children and beautiful harvests come from you, The gift of life and taking it back, for all of us, is your doing. A happy person is one you favour. That person has it all.
Today the very existence of Gaia is threatened, and so it might be a good time to return to the old practice of praying to her – God manifested as the Earth. Spiritual practice maintains a deep memory of what is most important in life. It sustains an honest and intelligent brand of piety that keeps us devoted and reverent. It sustains our ethics on a day-to-day basis and gives us the inspiration we need to honour the Earth and thereby protect it.
A short prayer is effective: "Dear God of the Earth, thank you for giving me life every minute of every day." Or, perhaps a bit more daring: "Spirit of the Earth, Goddess, I am devoted to you and honour you with my prayers and actions." These two tiny prayers are much in the spirit of the Greek hymns to the goddess Earth.
You could easily set up a small shrine focused on a special rock or grove of trees. You could get an artist to create an image of Gaia, earthy and timeless, and place it in your town for remembrance and inspiration. Keep it flourishing with gifts of flowers and oils. Flowers are the artwork of the Earth, and oil signifies a raising of the ordinary into the spiritually significant.
People might dismiss your effort as New Age fluff or pagan witchcraft. Take the criticism as a sign that what you are doing has some life in it. It's unsettling and it contradicts the sleepy unconsciousness of the time. Use a style that reflects the noble, timeless, earthy, unsentimental, complex nature of the planet.
I BELIEVE THAT it was a mistake in Western culture when the monotheists decided to split with the pagans and then demonise them. We lost a spirituality of Nature. Devotion turned away from the Earth and focused on a point infinitely far away. Much spiritual literature and prayer around the world tells us that we can find God deep within the world and even within ourselves. Christians call this the mystery of incarnation: spirit and matter as one thing.
As long as we keep spirituality and the material world separated, the Earth will be threatened. A secularised planet will remain in our minds a commodity rather than an awesome presence. Of course, as long as the planet, our mother, is a spiritless orb of materials, we too will be commodities to medicine, to economics, and to politics. We will not be children but products of the Earth, objects easily manipulated and dispensed with.
For a flash of time in Western history, Renaissance philosophers spoke of a human being as something divine. The great theologian Nicolas Cusanus used the bold phrase deus humanus: a human god. He was a much honoured cardinal at the Vatican, and yet he could reconcile pagan and monotheistic theologies. Environmentalists and
visionaries today face a similar task: to return spirituality to the Earth, grounding our spirituality and spiritualising our ground.

As of co-koa-core@0.17.0 (and higher) Co.Koa will support plugin integration. This is a more versatile way of implementing middleware in a discrete fashion.
While writing Co.Koa, it became apparent that it ought to handle sessions without requiring the user to go to great lengths to implement them. However, it was hard to know where they would sit in the build pipeline without either enforcing a session module (which the client might not want to use) or via pre-installed requirements baked into the client's Co.Koa project. Ideally, when you install a Co.Koa implementation, it wants to ship with one (and only one) dependency: co-koa-core.
Really, though, this conundrum betrayed something the build would probably always have wanted/needed: a dedicated way to implement plugin modules. In the spirit of koajs, let's keep things flexible!
the app variable is literally koa's app variable. The $ is Co.Koa's Dependency Manager. The rest is literally up to you! The most important thing is that your must return an object with at least the init property and the app and $ arguments.
const coKoa = CoKoa(__dirname).launch(MyFirstPlugin); // <= HERE!
In the spirit of Convention over Configuration, you are strongly encouraged to suffix your plugin files with the word "Plugin".
Thus, when $('Foo') is called elsewhere in the system, someDBInterface('Foo') will be called! In this fashion you can have different models pointing to different databases or completely different service behaviours! It's up to you!
To see how this actually works in anger, visit the co-koa-mongoose-plugin project on github.
The first official Co.Koa MVC plugin was co-koa-session-plugin which integrates koa-session with co-koa-mongoose-plugin to give you session storage in tow.
New submissions are very welcome!

Day 1 Venice
Day 3 Dubrovnik
Day 4 Kotor
Day 5 Korcula
Day 6 Mali Losinj
Day 7 Piran
The city of Dubrovnik is situated in the very south of the Republic of Croatia. It occupies an area of 364.05 square kilometres from Duboka Ljuta gorge – near the village of Plat to the east, to Imotica to the west, a distance of 53 kilometres. The city of Dubrovnik encloses the tiny Elaphite archipelago (Šipan, Lopud, Kolocep, Tajan, Olipa, Jakljan and Daksa).
As you approach the city over the bridge from the Italian mainland, you leave behind terra firma and, with it, earthbound notions of how to see and experience a city. Venice is not solely the spill of churches and palazzi on either side of the Grand Canal, but rather a city of islands, 118 in all, some of which are little more than the weedy, humps you see in the Lagoon of Venice. And yet these mud flats provided haven for the people who fled here (without benefit of a bridge) from Huns, Visigoths, and other marauders in the fifth century. And those refugees gave birth to a culture that ripened into a thousand years of greatness.
As you near the end of the bridge, you see at first only the back side of the city itself. But in the time it takes to walk through the train station, you begin to hear sounds peculiarly Venetian–the low rumble of boat motors, a humid incubation of voices, water lapping insistently against wood and stone. And then Venice confers her greatest gift: No matter how many times you've been here, it always seems, in that first glimse, like the first time.
If you are smart, you will immediately start a tour down the Grand Canal by hopping on a vaporetto (water bus) or gondola or water taxi. If you are lucky, it will be during those few hours before sunset when the light shines most kindly on the venerable facades that line this liquid boulevard. If you are particularly observant, you might even notice that neither the light nor the colors are quite Italian, not like the tawny earth tones of Florence or Rome.
The canal is a murkey green, the palazzi a mix of faded, grimy sherbets–watermarked mint and sun-blanched apricot and deep overripe peach. Sunlight shatters into spangles on the water, gondolas knife bach and forth, the Rialto Bridge looms overhead, and then, beyond one final curve, the Palladian church of Santa Maria della Salute and the Campanile (bell tower) of San Marco come into view.
Piazza san Marco is Venice's grand salon–expansive, familiar, picturesque, pigeonesque. It is anchored at its eastern extreme by the Basilica di San Marco, which is not only the spiritual seat of Venice's patron saint but also one of the most glittering monuments of Christendom.
There are no additional terms and conditions for this offer.


The future of at-risk staff at one of Sudbury's major employers has been preserved, after the administration process led to a buyer being found for the site.
Three of the six sites operated by warehousing and distribution firm Promotional Logistics, which trades under the name of Prolog, have been sold to Prolog Fulfilment, in a sale expected to save more than 330 jobs.
The acquisition, led by former Prolog managers Neil Daniells and Nick Hoare and finalised on Friday, will see the company run two sites in Nottinghamshire, and the contact centre in Northern Road, Sudbury, which employs around 96 people, plus additional agency staff.
Prolog entered into administration in November, following the withdrawal of financial support by a group company.
It continued to trade at full capacity while it was marketed for sale by the appointed joint administrators from Mazars LLP.
This has resulted in the sale of assets to Prolog Fulfilment, which will operate in the e-fulfilment and returns market sectors.
Rebecca Dacre, one of Mazars' administrators for Prolog along with Simon Chandler, added: "I'd like to thank all of Prolog's employees for their huge dedication despite challenges and uncertainty, as well as the support of the company's customers, who have remained loyal throughout this process.
The announcement provides some reassurance to employment in Sudbury, at a time when discussions remain ongoing around the future of hundreds of jobs at the Delphi Diesel Systems factory in Newton Road, which is earmarked for closure next year.
At its peak, Prolog employed 400 people at its former office in North Street, which was sold last year, after staff relocated following 20 years based there.

Q: Set sqrt as yaxis scale from dropdown or button-Python/Plotly From this example here : Set linear or log axes from button or dropdown menu I can use a button to change the yaxis from linear to log.
However i need to change it to sqrt.
I have looked at
from Plotly: reference layout axis I have found that there is no type ("sqrt")

type
Code: fig.update_yaxes(type=)
Type: enumerated , one of ( "-" | "linear" | "log" | "date" | "category" | "multicategory" )
Default: "-" Sets the axis type. By default, plotly attempts to determined the axis type by looking into the data of the traces that referenced the axis in question.

Here is the exmaple code:
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure()

fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(
    x=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8],
    y=[8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0]
))

fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(
    x=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8],
    y=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
))

fig.update_layout(title_text="CIR plot ",
                          updatemenus=[
            dict(
                 buttons=list([
                     dict(label="Linear",  method="update", args=[{"yaxis":{"type": "linear"}}]),
                     dict(label="Log", method="update", args=[{"yaxis":{"type": "log"}}]),
                                  ]),
            )])

 #UPDATE Y AXIS HERE
fig.update_layout( updatemenus=[
            dict(
                 buttons=list([
                     dict(label="Linear-ID",
                          method="relayout",
                          args=[{"yaxis.type": "linear"}]),
                     dict(label="Log-ID",
                          method="relayout",
                          args=[{"yaxis.type": "log"}]),
                                  ]),
            )])
fig.show()

Is there a way to use a button to update the scale to sqrt ?

A: To my knowledge there's currently no way to specify sqrt as scale for the axis that would trigger a visual change to the axis labels like the case is for fig.update_xaxes(type="log"):

But you don't really have to in order to change the data associated with the yaxis to display the square roots of a given series. The complete snippet below produce a figure that will easily let you switch between displaying the raw data and a series with square roots.
Plot 1: Raw data

Plot 2: np.sqrt

Complete code:
import numpy as np
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.gapminder().query("year == 2007")

# figure setup
fig = go.Figure()
fig.add_scatter(mode="markers", x=df["gdpPercap"], y=df["lifeExp"])
fig.add_scatter(mode="markers", x=df["gdpPercap"], y=np.sqrt(df["lifeExp"]), visible = False)

# buttons for updatemenu
buttons = [dict(method='restyle',
                label='linear',
                visible=True,
                args=[{'label': 'linear',
                       'visible':[True, False],
                      }
                     ]),
           dict(method='restyle',
                label='sqrt',
                visible=True,
                args=[{'label': 'linear',
                       'visible':[False, True],
                      }
                     ])]

# specify updatemenu
um = [{'buttons':buttons,
      'direction': 'down'}
      ]

fig.update_layout(updatemenus=um)
# fig.update_yaxes(type="log")
fig.show()

A: I think the desired output, in the case of switching axis domains, is to transform the shape of the curve but keep the original y values (for instance with log axis).  Since plotly does not have square root axis option you need to transform the data (as in @vestland's approach) but also transform the axis values.  This can be done with a combination of the tickvals and ticktext options for the desired axis (see here and here)

*

*tickvals=ysqrt this sets the values at which ticks on this axis appear to the square root of ybase

*ticktext=ybase this sets the text displayed at the ticks position, here keeping the ybase values

Consider this example without the transformation:
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure()

ybase=np.array([0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64])
ysqrt=np.sqrt(ybase)

fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=np.array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]),y=ybase))

fig.show()

And then with:
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=np.array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]),y=ysqrt))
fig.update_yaxes(tickvals=ysqrt, ticktext=ybase)
fig.show()

We now have a linear representation of this curve but keeping the original y values.

When one thinks of gay destinations, immediately San Francisco, Calif. and Key West, Fla. are two places that come to mind. The excellent food, the funky neighborhoods and the welcoming atmosphere have made them places to get away and make memories.
But as both cities are becoming more gentrified and losing much of the charm that made people want to visit, a new city is becoming a top place for LGBT people to visit: Asheville, N.C.
Only a few hours away, the fresh air and beautiful mountain landscapes beckon gay travelers to come and explore an area that greets the LGBT community with open arms.
Traditionally, people think of Asheville as a good place to visit for two reasons: viewing fall foliage and touring the iconic Biltmore House and estate. But Asheville is also one of the best places to get away for a weekend of romance and fun.
Asheville offers in the downtown area more than 45 dining establishments, eight of which are James Beard-nominated restaurants for their excellent cuisine. For the theatre and concert lovers, there are eight performing arts venues, one of which was just doing the famous gay play "La Cage Aux Folles." For those who love to drink beer, there are now 24 microbreweries in town with a wide range of offerings.
But first and foremost, a great visit starts with great lodging. If you are looking for an unforgettable place to stay, skip the boring hotels and go to one of the more than 24 bed-and-breakfasts in the Asheville area. The B&Bs offer incredible breakfasts, exquisite accommodations and at the same time privacy for those wanting a break from the rat race or for those who want to share intimate moments that will provide memories forever.
For those wanting to stay close to the downtown area, the Carolina Bed & Breakfast is a great choice. Along with elegant and well-appointed rooms, it offers the chance to walk through a historic neighborhood to the restaurants and attractions of the downtown area. Along with a delicious breakfast, inn owners James and Susan Murray also offer a cocktail hour with Biltmore wine and scrumptious finger foods. This provides a chance to meet a diverse group of people there, or a chance to grab something to go back to your room for some more intimate sharing of hors d'oeuvres.
Guests are Reynolds Bed and Breakfast are treated like royalty in this well-appointed inn.
For those who want breathtaking views and luxurious rooms in a historic mansion, the Reynolds House Bed and Breakfast is just the ticket. Gay partners Billy Sanders and Michael Griffith bought the place in 2009 and have restored this brick antebellum home to its former grandeur. The house was once the home of the owner of the famous Hope Diamond, the Star of India and the Star of the East, and is a worth a visit simply because of its rich history. But the inn has much more, including 16 bedrooms, the largest dining room in the county (seating 34), a 1919 spring-fed pool and even two secret passageways. At sunset and fall, the views of Mount Pisgah and Cold Mountain (from book and movie fame) are spectacular. The breakfasts are sumptuous and one offering is delicious honey from Sanders' own beehives. No wonder this gay-owned home has won the Trip Advisor Award as the second best bed and breakfast in the U.S. and twelfth in the world.
Equally spectacular but lesser-known is the gay-owned Engadine Bed and Breakfast. Situated in Candler, N.C., Rick Bell and his longtime partner Tom Watson bought the inn 18 months ago and are in the process of updating the home built in 1885 by Confederate Navy Captain John Hoyt. This B&B is unique in that it has a wonderful mix of historical and modern accommodations. Fireplaces and classic clawfeet bathtubs adapted to showers for a wonderful intimate experience can be found in the five gorgeous bedrooms. The top floor is modern and has wonderful furnishings from Florida, where Bell and Watson used to live. But the truly unique part of Engadine is that dotting the areas where the vineyards used to be are wonderful well-appointed cabins that include kitchens and allow those wanting complete privacy and intimacy to have a wonderful romantic experience. The largest cabin, the Cherokee, boasts a wonderful king-sized bed and a two-person spa bath. It is a wonderful place to begin or renew romance.
Engadine is also in the process of becoming a great venue for weddings and other events and is a wonderful place for those who just want to get away from it all, yet is only 15 minutes west of all of the attractions of Asheville. And the food is also good (make sure to ask about the Applewood smoked pecan bacon!).
Both Reynolds and Engadine are ideal locations for couples, friends or groups who want to get away to memorable locations which are gay-owned.
For those on a tighter budget and who want a small-town getaway, the Dry Ridge B&B in Weaverville, N.C., offers a lot of amenities. Only 15 to 20 minutes north of the city, the inn offers lower prices than many other B&Bs while not skimping on the quality. The 1888 home has eight bedrooms and is a good place for couples, families or singles. Bikers will find Howard Kristen Dusenbery a wealth of information about places to ride in the area, and will especially love the Harley bedroom and Davidson bedroom on the top floor along with the motorcycle art. The breakfasts are quite good, especially the breads and the blueberry pancakes, and the seating allows people to sit by themselves or in a way to meet others. Howard also plays bagpipes and is known to frequently serve breakfast in a kilt!
The greater benefit of staying at Dry Ridge is that you can walk a few blocks into downtown Weaverville and find several great places to eat, including Blue Mountain Pizza and Brew Pub. This is one of the friendliest restaurants you will find anywhere around, and the food is very good. The restaurant is known for brewing its own beer downstairs, and the light, dry Saison and the aggressively hoppy North Main beers are quite delicious. Also you will hear great live music here, especially on weekends. A few minutes away by car also is the Stony Knob Café, which has wonderful food and a great Sunday brunch.
In town during the day you will also find wonderful places to view and buy art. A must stop is Mangum Pottery which mixes heritage and contemporary designs, and is known for its heron sculptures.
Indeed, the growing arts community in Asheville is one of the hallmarks of the city. Artists from all over the country are moving to Asheville and offer something to visitors that can be rarely experienced: a visit to studios where the artists are actually producing their work.
The best place to experience this is the River Arts district, home to more than 200 studios and 300 artists. The area is an old warehouse district that continues to be transformed into the home of one of the most vibrant arts communities in the United States. It is worth a trip to drive down to this district (don't try to walk it). From ceramics to oil painting to welding art to glass blowing, this district has something for everyone. The artists alone are fascinating to meet, and the work is simply spectacular.
There are so many interesting studios that it can be overwhelming, so make sure you hop on one of the trolleys and get one of the Artists 2016 Studio Guides to help orient yourself. Nonetheless, several artists are definitely worth a visit: Michael Hofman, whose handcrafted plates and tableware using lace are spectacular; Stephen St. Claire and his "dialuminism" technique in which metal leaf and oil paint are embedded within layers of resin, making it appear that light is shining through the back of the painting; and the Asheville Glass Company where various glassblowers are creating fabulous pieces of glass (this is a great place to get something to take home!). Also, a visit down to the Wedge brewery is a good stop on a hot day. Make sure you ask and see the metal dinosaur sculpture welded by late artist John Payne.
For those looking for more traditional mountain arts and crafts, there are a number of stores in downtown Asheville to visit, and local people often sell their crafts outside the historic Grove Arcade. There are several good shops inside the wonderfully restored arcade, an architectural jewel worth visiting just for its structure and design. Do visit the Mountain Made shop and the Asheville NC Homecrafts store.
Any time of the week, but especially Sunday morning, there are several wonderful places to visit in downtown Asheville. For a unique experience, you must imbibe at the gay-owned and operated Battery Park Book Exchange and Champagne Bar at the Grove Arcade. With two floors of used books to peruse and purchase, you are encouraged to browse, find a book you love, and settle down to read while sipping on one of the three champagnes you can order by glass or 10 others that you can order by half bottle. Do check out the literary drinks such as the Great Gatsby, which is a classic champagne cocktail, or their delicious mimosas. They also offer draft beer and very good coffee.
LGBT people will also want to know that many restaurants, shops and B&Bs are friendly to their four-footed children. It is not uncommon to see people in outside seating in restaurants and in many indoor establishments for their dogs, and to see the dogs greeted warmly by the owners and workers in the establishments.
Another don't miss place for coffee, juice and a good read is the Malaprops Bookstore. Known throughout the Southeast, the gay-owned shop offers a good variety of books, including eclectic books and a great section of LGBT books and novels. It definitely has one of the best selections of lesbian fiction in the South.
One of the more unique places to visit in Asheville is the Carolina Bee Charmer. Asheville was certified as the first Bee City as being a pollinator-friendly location. This small store offers information on honey and even a honey tasting bar before you take home one of the many varieties of honey and bee-related products. Definitely try the buckwheat, the cranberry and the light wildflower honeys, and check out the other many varieties they offer.
Talking about honey probably makes you hungry and there is no shortage of places to eat in downtown Asheville. There are few chain restaurants, meaning that there is a wide range of quality places to eat with cuisine for every palate. And another wonderful quality is the number of restaurants with outdoor seating.
A few of the great restaurants to visit are Carmel's Kitchen and Bar (burgers and salads to delicious locally sourced steaks), Salsas (a wonderful mix of Mexican and Caribbean food), the Tupelo Honey Café (soul food) and Rosetta's Kitchen (flavorful vegetarian food). There are truly too many good places to eat to go into more detail here, and it is worth walking around a bit to explore and find that unique dining experience you are looking for.
One place that cannot be skipped is the French Broad Chocolate Factory and Tasting Room. You will know where it is because of the line of people waiting to get one of the rich chocolate drinks. The place is also known for its wonderfully decadent chocolate-based desserts and especially the truffles. You must indulge here!
Another good restaurant ,which is as funky as the area in which it is located, is the Universal Joint. Created out an old gas station, it has delicious sandwiches and is located in West Asheville. That area is attracting a large number of LGBT couples and singles who are moving into the area for its eclectic feel and for the inexpensive housing. Another good place worth visiting there is the Asheville Sandwich Company.
For nightlife, check out Tressa's Downtown Jazz and Blues, a lesbian-owned bar with wonderful live music. For the younger crowd, the gay bar of choice is Scandals, and the traditional choice for a good bar and drag show is O'Henry's, which includes a separate venue for dancing and has themed dance nights and events.
And for healthier activities, one cannot forget the original and best draw of Asheville: the mountains. It is an easy drive to jump on the Blue Ridge Parkway and see the mountains or to go rafting, kayaking, tubing, hiking, biking and so many more outdoor activities.
In short, there is so much to do in Asheville that one weekend does not suffice. Being such a short drive away from the Charlotte, N.C. area, there is no question: the best place to get away and enjoy a weekend in a community which embraces diversity and where LGBT people are warmly welcomed is Asheville.
The weekend is coming and you don't have anything to do. What are you waiting for? Asheville is waiting for you.

Justia › US Law › US Case Law › US Supreme Court › Volume 242 › Caldwell v. Sioux Falls Stock Yards Co.
Caldwell v. Sioux Falls Stock Yards Co., 242 U.S. 559 (1917)
Caldwell v. Sioux Falls Stock Yards Company
Argued October 16, 17, 1916
Decided January 22, 1917
The South Dakota "Blue Sky Law," Laws of 1915, c. 27a, is the same in principle as the laws of Ohio and Michigan involved in Hall v. Geiger-Jones Co., ante, 242 U. S. 539, and Merrick v. Halsey & Co., post, 242 U. S. 568, and is sustained over constitutional objections for the reasons assigned in those cases, as applied to a Colorado corporation seeking to raise capital by sales of its own shares, and to individuals dealing in such shares.
When a statute regulating complainant's business is alleged to be unconstitutional
and its effect, if the business be continued in disregard of it, will be to visit him with repeated criminal prosecutions involving heavy fines and imprisonment, the remedy at law is not adequate.
A suit to enjoin state officials from instituting criminal proceedings in enforcement of such a statute is not a suit against the state.
For decree below, see 230 F. 236, note.
The case is stated in the opinion.
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH DAKOTA
MR. JUSTICE McKENNA delivered the opinion of the Court.
This case was argued and submitted with Nos. 438-440, just decided, ante, 242 U. S. 539, and with No. 413, post, 242 U. S. 568, which concerns a statute of Michigan of like kind, the opinion in which is to follow. It involves the same general questions as those cases, and is presented to review a decree of the district court enjoining appellants from enforcing a statute of the State of South Dakota relating to the sale of securities. The act, § 23, makes violations of its provisions a misdemeanor, and criminal prosecutions under the act were the particular actions of the officers of the state that the appellees prayed to be enjoined.
After a consideration of the pleadings and argument the court, consisting of three judges, expressed the view that the statute violated the Constitution of the United States, and cited in confirmation Alabama & N. O. Transportation Co. v. Doyle, 210 F. 173; William R. Compton Co. v.
Allen, 216 F. 537, and Bracey v. Darst, 218 F. 482.
The court decreed that the appellants be enjoined from instituting and prosecuting any actions, civil or criminal, against complainants (appellees) under the statute for alleged violations thereof, and from taking any proceedings for its enforcement except such as might be deemed proper by them in the criminal actions already pending.
The Sioux Falls Stock Yards Company is a Colorado corporation having its principal place of business at the City of Denver, and the Morleys are residents and citizens of Iowa.
The Stock Yards Company was, at the times mentioned in the bill, engaged in building and constructing a stockyard in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and in selling a certain amount of its capital stock for raising sufficient capital for that purpose. The Morleys at such time were engaged in the buying and selling of stock, and especially in selling the stock of the Stock Yards Company to various farmers and other purchasers, such sales being necessary to complete the construction of the stockyard, and also necessary to enable the Morleys to earn a livelihood.
Six informations were filed against appellees at the instigation of appellants for violations of the statute, and it is alleged that appellees will be prosecuted immediately under such informations, and will be further prosecuted.
The statute, it is alleged, is an infraction of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, and imposes a burden upon and practically amounts to a prohibition of interstate commerce, and hence offends the commerce clause of the Constitution of the United States, and "that it attempts to vest in and delegate to the state Securities Commission judicial powers unauthorized by law."
Against the bill, appellants urge, besides asserting the validity of the statute, three defenses: (1) that complainants
have a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law; (2) the suit is one against the state; (3) that the plea of the unconstitutionality of the statute was made in the criminal actions.
The three defenses are without merit. Six informations have already been filed against appellees and as many more may be brought as there may be violations of the statute, and a conviction of each may bear a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment, or both.
The suit manifestly is not one against the state, and the decree appealed from does not enjoin criminal actions commenced before the filing of the bill. We therefore pass to the merits.
A summary of the statute is all that is necessary. Its purpose as declared in its title is to prevent fraud in the sale and disposition of stocks, bonds, or other securities sold or offered for sale within the state. It creates a commission, called the State Securities Commission, of which the appellants, except Hanson, who is prosecuting attorney of Turner County, are members.
Those dealing in securities, and they may be persons, corporations, copartnerships, companies, or associations, incorporated or unincorporated, shall be known, it is provided, "as a domestic investment company." Those resident of or organized in any other state, territory, or government shall be known "as a foreign investment company."
Certain securities are exempt from the provisions of the act, and information as to those to which it applies must be furnished to the Commission as follows: if the securities are of the dealer's own issue, a statement must be filed with the Commission showing in full detail (1) the plan upon which it proposes to transact business; (2) a copy of all contracts, stocks, and bonds which it proposes to make with or sell to contributors or customers, together with a copy of its prospectus and of the proposed advertisements of its
securities; which statement shall also show the names and location of its main office; (3) the names and addresses of its officers and an itemized account of its financial condition and the amount of its assets and liabilities; (4) such other information as the Commission may require; (5) if a foreign corporation, a copy of the law under which it was incorporated; (6) a copy of its charter and certain other papers relating to its constitution and organization. A filing fee is provided for of not less than $10 nor more than $100. The described papers are to be verified, and, if of record, certified to. If a foreign corporation, the applicant must file its irrevocable consent to suits against it by service of summons upon the public examiner.
The Commission is authorized to require further information than that mentioned above, and to make an appraisal of the property of the applicant at the expense of the applicant.
If the Commission find from the statements filed and the reports of the investigations conducted by it that the securities or investment contracts offered for sale would, in its opinion, work a fraud upon the purchaser, the Commission shall disapprove of their sale and notify the company by registered mail of its findings and disapproval, and it shall be unlawful for the company to sell such securities, and they shall not be sold in the state. If, however, the proposed plan of business and the securities are not of that character, their sale shall be approved and a certificate issued of permission to sell.
The person who is authorized to sell the securities designated in the act is termed a "dealer" in them, and he shall not sell or offer them for sale until he shall have filed a list of the same in the office of the Commission. The term "dealer," it is provided, shall not include an owner nor issuer of securities when the sale of them is not made in the course of continued and successive transactions of a similar nature, nor one who, in a trust capacity created
by law, lawfully sells securities "impressed with such trust." A "dealer" is required to furnish practically the same information as that required of corporations. All authorized agents of a "dealer" or investment company shall be registered with the Commission, and if the "dealer" be a nonresident or a corporation other than a domestic corporation, he shall, at the time he registers with the Commission, file with it a written, duly authenticated appointment of the public examiner of the state as his or its agent in the state upon whom process or pleadings may be served for or on behalf of the "dealer," which appointment shall be irrevocable. Upon compliance with the terms of the act, the Commission shall issue to such "dealer" a license which shall be good until revoked by the Commission for good cause upon notice to the "dealer," and after a hearing duly had.
There is a provision for keeping accounts, payment of fines, and other details, and it is provided that, if, after permission has been issued authorizing the sale of the designated securities, it shall be made to appear to the Commission, from an examination of an investment company, that the further sale of the securities would work a fraud upon the purchaser, the Commission may make an order revoking the license of the company, and, pending the hearing, suspend the right of the company.
It is unlawful for a dealer or investment company to sell or offer for sale securities other than those approved by the Commission, or to transact business on any other plan than that set forth in the statements and papers required to be filed with the Commission; or to circulate advertisements or other documents in the state differing in any way from the copy filed with the Commission, or until the same has been approved by the Commission. And no dealer shall sell or offer for sale securities of an investment company until such company has complied with the act. He may, however, if such investment company has not
itself complied with the act, make application for a license.
Records of the Commission shall be public records, and they shall be so arranged and preserved as to facilitate their examination, except that the Commission may, in its discretion, withhold information relating to the private affairs of persons or corporations when, in its judgment, the same shall not be required for the public welfare, or any information relative to any matter that may be at issue in any court unless upon an order of the court. Except as so provided, the Commission may furnish to those who may apply therefor any information regarding any investment company or its affairs.
Annual statements are required to be filed by investment companies, domestic or foreign, in such form and containing such information as the Commission may demand, and failure to do so forfeits its permit.
The supreme court of the state, upon petition of any person aggrieved, may review by certiorari any final order or determination of the Commission. The issue of the writ shall not, however, unless specifically ordered by the court, operate as a stay of proceedings.
Violations of the act are made misdemeanors punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both fine and imprisonment. And it is provided that, if any section of the act be declared unconstitutional or unauthorized, the other sections shall not be vacated thereby.
The statute of South Dakota differs in some details from the statute of Ohio, but in its purpose and general provisions it is the same. There is urged against it, as was urged against the Ohio statute, that it violates the Fourteenth Amendment and the commerce clause of the Constitution of the United States. The argument to support these contentions, while affluent in citation of cases, is not so circumstantial as that which is presented against
the Michigan statute. Therefore, we shall rest this case upon our opinion in Nos. 438, 439, and 440, reserving to the Michigan case our reply to the more specific objections.
Decree reversed and cause remanded for further proceedings in conformity with this opinion.
MR. JUSTICE McREYNOLDS dissents.
