Islam and culture: Don't confuse the two
Posted by Janelle Di Falco | 2 Jun, 2020 | Education | 0 |
As an Australian Italian Muslim, when I see issues in the media or people in general discussing events about Islam, it bothers me that these issues are getting depicted as "problems with Islam," the religion, when they are in reality problems of culture or habitual traditions of some Muslim-majority region.
I think most Australians would agree with me that it would be unfair to judge a religion (whether Islam, Christianity or any other religion) by the practices it does not condone.
The religion of Islam does not condone and actually condemns practices such as dishonourable "honour killings," racism, oppression of women, banning women from obtaining an education, and many other un-Islamic practices that make their way to mainstream media. If a Muslim or a Muslim majority region practices these despicable acts, it is not because of Islam, but despite Islam.
On numerous occasions, I have observed peoples comments stating that culture dictates religion, yet culture and religion are two separate elements.
Take for example the recent event of Muslim women in Saudi Arabia who are being discriminated by having their activist rights denied, on trial or silenced for their activism.
Yet, in Islam, women scholars taught judges and Imams. The Prophet's (s) wife Khadija was his employer at the time.
Allah also states in the Qur'an (4:1) that "men and women are created from one soul." The verse in Qur'an here starts off with absolute equality in creation. If Allah has made men and women equal, then who are we to deny the rights of women as can be seen in the Saudia Arabia.
Interestingly, some scholars in Islam have further stated that there is a divergence between what Islam says about the rights and status of women and the way in which legislation and state policies in Muslim countries deal with the issue.
In America, for instance, a vast amount of authors and "experts" have wrongly attacked the religion of Islam for the cultural practices of Muslims in certain places in the world.
Polls have shown that about 70% of the American public acknowledges being unfamiliar with Islam. Hence, it is not a surprise that most Americans cannot distinguish Islamic religious practices from cultural practices by Muslim majority countries.
In order to explain the differences between Islam and culture, I think it will be useful if you could imagine a Catholic family in Australia, another Catholic family in Italy, and a third Catholic family in Africa. Although these three families have the same religion, they will all have different cultures.
They will eat different types of food and will listen to different types of music. Their style of clothing will be different and, of course, their languages will be different.
More than likely, they will have certain cultural and traditional practices that are not derived from Catholicism. I think the same would be true for Jewish families in the world too.
In the same way, Muslims from different parts of the world will have varying cultures even though they share the same religion. For many Muslims, as with other people of other faiths, their cultures play a strong role in their lives.
Many of the countries that are commonly called "Islamic countries" which in reality are merely "Muslim majority countries" that practice Islamic/non-Islamic practices.
More than 10 centuries ago, when Islam became the predominant religion of the part of the world that today is Muslim majority, those countries already had very distinct and very patriarchal cultures, as many remain patriarchal today.
After embracing the religion of Islam, many of these cultures abandoned some of the pre-Islamic cultures and traditions, but they hung on to many others.
So then, what is an Islamic practice? Islamic practices and beliefs are those that have roots in the Qur'an (which Muslims believe to be the last and unchanged revelation from God) and the Sunnah (traditions) of Prophet Muhammad (s).
Any belief or practice, even if common among some Muslim majority country does not go back to the Qur'an or the Sunnah, is not an Islamic belief or practice.
Just as it is unfair to judge Christianity for un-Christian and inappropriate actions of some who call themselves Christians, it is unfair to judge Islam, by un-Islamic and inappropriate actions of some who call themselves Muslims.
Just as every action of every Christian is not necessarily based on Christianity, every action of every Muslim is not necessarily based on Islam.
I would love to just urge people all around the world to not judge everything they see on TV and in the same way too, to not judge Islam by the media and cultural news that finds its way to their TV sets.

Pelkey runs a monofilament recycling and truck repair business with his son. For years, he says he's been trying to move his business from Swanton, Vermont, to Westford. To do that, he needs a permit to build an 8,000-square foot garage on his property in Westford. But the town has been giving him issues.
The town refused his bid and basically told him to go away. So what does Mr. Pelkey do?
"I was sitting at a bar and said to my wife, 'Hey, I want to get a statue made of a middle finger, and I'm going to put it up on the lawn,'" he told Boston.com.
So that's exactly what he did. Pelkey commissioned a Vermont artist to carve a 700-pound, wooden sculpture of the middle finger. On November 30, he had it installed in his yard, complete with two floodlights so that it's visible 24/7. All told, the project cost about $4,000. "If you don't want to look at the building, look at this," he told Boston.com.
Here's the kicker: The town may be able to stop him from building his garage, but there's not a single thing officials can do to force him to get rid of the middle finger statue. While the state of Vermont doesn't allow "off-premise" billboards, the sculpture isn't actually advertising anything. Instead, it's considered public art, which is protected under the First Amendment. Pelkey is not breaking a state law, and according to Westford Selectboard Chair Allison Hope, he's not in violation of any local regulations either. "The Pelkeys can do what they like to exercise their free speech within the laws and regulations," Hope told the Burlington Free Press.
So the middle finger will stay up, at least for the foreseeable future. Pelkey's attorney has appealed the review board's decision regarding construction of the garage, with a court hearing possible next month.
That's one way to fight back against the red tape and ignorance of a local bureaucracy. Good for Mr. Pelkey…and here's hoping his appeal is successful.

New focus on old tradition of canoe making
by Beverly Bidney - November 28, 2012 April 9, 2015
Before roads were built, canoes were the only means of transportation for Seminoles living in the Everglades. Today, canoes are no longer necessary, but they remain a critical aspect of Tribal culture.
According to the Florida Museum of Natural History's website, the oldest canoes found in North America date back 6,000-7,000 years and were integral for survival of people living near water.
Pedro Zepeda, traditional arts and outreach coordinator at the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum, wants to keep the Tribal tradition of canoe making alive and has devised an idea that could motivate people to build a canoe of their own. It's called a canoe journey, and he plans to lead one in the spring, the first in Tribal history. To get the project off the ground, he is spearheading the building of two large canoes: one in Brighton and one in Hollywood.
A canoe journey is a group of people traveling to a distant destination in their canoes. Zepeda was inspired by the Tribes of the Pacific Northwest, who revived their tradition of canoe journeys in 1989. Those Tribes say the true significance is the journey itself, which encompasses spirituality, respect, teamwork and honor.
Zepeda learned about the journeys while at a conference a few years ago and believes it will help preserve the tradition of canoe making within the Seminole Tribe.
"We don't use canoes in our daily lives anymore, and there isn't a huge market for them out there," Zepeda said. "I thought an annual canoe journey would be a great way to promote making and using canoes."
In the Northwest, canoe journeys have created a renaissance of canoe making by a new generation of Native carvers. Zepeda hopes that with the anticipation of a journey every year, the same can happen here.
The Tribe's first canoe journey, which Zepeda anticipates will take place in February, will be a 10-mile trip down the Turner River from U.S. 41 to the Smallwood Store in Chokoloskee, which should take about six hours. He hopes about 20-40 people participate.
"I've always wanted to take a canoe trip down the waterways our ancestors traveled," said Bobby Frank, Hollywood Cultural director. "I used to watch Henry John (Billie) carve canoes in Chokoloskee. Now, he's gone, and the torch is in our hands. It's our responsibility not to let it go."
Zepeda is optimistic about the challenge of beginning a new Tribal tradition.
"I think the Tribe will like it," Zepeda said. "I hope we can continue with this annually and that it grows, like any other festival. When they started the canoe journeys on the Northwest coast, they started very small. Now, they have more than 100 canoes participating every year."
In fact, more Tribal members are making full-size canoes now than they have in a long time. Zepeda is working with Frank in Hollywood and Lewis Gopher, cultural events specialist, in Brighton on large canoes. The cypress logs, about 20 feet long and 27 inches in diameter each, were recovered from the bottom of the Sampit River in South Carolina. The trees were probably 200-300 years old when they were cut; they sat in the river bottom for maybe 60-100 years, Zepeda said.
To get logs to sawmills in the 19th century meant floating them down a river, which would sometimes create logjams. These trees are the logs that sunk as a result of a logjam more than a century ago.
Cypress is the preferred wood for canoes because the wood contains an oil called cypressene, which acts as a preservative to make the wood resistant to decay and insect infestations. The logs were recovered and dried out before being trucked to the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum at Big Cypress, a feat in itself. The two waterlogged logs weighed in at 15,000 pounds, Zepeda said, and each had to be moved to Brighton and Hollywood, which entailed the use of flatbed trucks, front-end loaders and large cranes.
In Brighton, students at Pemayetv Emahakv Charter School help Zepeda and Gopher make the canoe a few hours each week. In the process, they learn traditional and modern ways to carve a canoe.
"A lot of lessons go along with making a canoe," Gopher said. "The students are learning if they keep up the hard work, they can accomplish a lot of things."
The traditional method of canoe making is entirely by hand using axes, adzes and other metal hand tools; the modern method utilizes chain saws and power sanders.
"It takes a lot of patience to do it all by hand," Frank said. "When it's done, it's done. You can't rush a good thing."
Zepeda believes there are different ways to carve a canoe.
"It doesn't bother me to use power tools," he said. "Hand tools are slower, but you learn other things, too. We aren't stuck in time, either. Some people think it may be cheating to use power tools, but it is each individual's choice."
Gopher believes his ancestors would use power tools if they were still around today.
"My ancestors always kept up with the times," he said. "If something new came along to help build a chickee, they used it. They would use whatever they had to make the job easier. I believe they are looking down on me and saying, 'Why wouldn't you use what is available to you?'"
Either way the canoe is built, the end result is a canoe created from a cypress log by a Tribal member.
If any male Tribal member wants to help carve the canoe in Hollywood, contact Bobby Frank at BFrank2@semtribe.com or 954-989-6840 ext. 10533.

More to come from Munster but Erasmus proud they keep showing grit
Home / More to come from Munster but Erasmus proud they keep showing grit
RASSIE ERASMUS WAS a proud man on Saturday evening in Glasgow, for sure, but he kept coming back to the point that there is more to come from his Munster side.
If the South African's media dealings are anything to judge by, he is a master of staying on message.

Erasmus always brings positivity to what he says – smiling even when talking about Glasgow's hunger to get Conor Murray "on the ground" after his kicks.
But there is no frivolity to Erasmus' communication and the smiles are always accompanied by the assertion that there is plenty more to come from Munster. Even after an away win against Glasgow to secure a first European quarter-final in three years, Munster's director of rugby was keen to point out that improvement is required.
"Well, if you look at tonight's performance, tactically we didn't maximise our performance," said Erasmus.
"We have two left-footed players in the team with Zeebs [Simon Zebo] and Scans [Rory Scannell], we've got Tyler [Bleyendaal] and Conor [Murray], and we just sat in our own half and Glasgow pinned us down.
"So, potential is not just individual, it's strategic as a team and as a management team making and executing a plan. Tonight, probably tactically we were only 5o-60% there, but then again we were 100% maximising our guts."
There he goes again, finding the positive note to end on after informing us that his team left 40% of their collective potential behind in a crucial fixture.
Erasmus was not looking to pour cold water over Munster's achievement, but simply sees plenty of room for growth. He believes the province will need to be more clinical if they are to go deep in this competition.
"The defence was good but I thought our breakdown wasn't great at stages. I thought our tactical kicking wasn't great and I thought when we did get into their half, we didn't get the points when we were there.
Erasmus wants Munster to use their kicking options more effectively. Source: Inpho/Billy Stickland
"We were there four or five times in the first half and we only got six points. When the big moments are there, you don't get a lot of chances and in the quarter-finals again you will only get a few moments, so when you get there you can't come away without three, five or seven points. So, those big moments in this game almost cost us."
While always looking for those opportunities to improve, Erasmus did stress the pride Munster feel at returning to the quarter-finals, with this weekend's home clash with Racing 92 providing the opportunity to secure a home draw.
"It's a credit to the players and everybody involved in Munster. I don't want to say that like it sounds like we achieved something already, but as a team one of the targets was to win more games than we did last year.
"I think Axel will be so proud tonight, you know, that we actually went through and we won the pool. We'll see how far we can get now."
The aforementioned "guts" and grit Munster are showing is the factor that links everything together this season.
They were not at their best in Scotstoun on Saturday, but Munster had the resilience and determination required to hang in, hammer the Warriors in defence and, eventually, create the winning score.
Erasmus says that grit is coming from the playing group itself.
"It's definitely not me," said the former Springboks back row. "It's a team where… why would you just sit back and hope for something? You put up your hand and try something.

"I think that's what Peter [O'Mahony] is pushing into the team and I think that's what all the other coaches are pushing. If you just sit back and hope you will win the game, you probably will lose it, and the guys put up their hands even when they make mistakes. I think it's player-driven, which is great."
So much seems to be in place for Munster to continue their scintillating run of results, Saturday being their 11th win in 12 games, and Erasmus will continue to drive his message of improvement.
He didn't fully know what to expect when he arrived at Munster, but they must be exceeding those thoughts.
"I didn't know the players well, I didn't know my assistant coaches well, I didn't know Ireland, Limerick well.
"We moved into a new high performance centre and that's why I said at the first meeting that our challenge now is to take what we've got as coaches and players and maximise the potential. We'll see where we get.
"We'll really maximise that and if we'd qualify for the quarter-finals, then I would have taken it. It's really a great group of players with great work ethic and I had mixed thoughts about the pool because I didn't know anybody here before I came.
"It's satisfying to see that we've got quality players and a management team to get us this far and now the challenge is to see how far we can go."

That link to google groups didn't work for me, but searching for "netinfo" in the group found the singular result.
Thanks. I guess we want to backport those for our esr52-based branch. Do you think you want to do that?
Yep, I am on it.
Thanks. I think the code backported looks good. However, I think we should have a better patch format. First, we should keep the Mozilla bug number. That makes it easier to find the patch(es) in our tree. Second, we should keep the patch(set) structure: one commit in our tree should match one commit taken from Mozilla. This allows us to pinpoint possible issues easier. Third, we should fix up the commit message if needed (in your case you still have included "This tests not only windows, but also workers." even though you rightly omitted the workers related part).
A workflow that works fine for me is having mozilla-central as a git remote and cherry picking the patches from that one into tor-browser one-by-one, fixing them up if needed and adapting the commit message afterwards with git commit --amend if needed as well.
Thanks for the feedback! I updated the patch.
Thanks for all three fixups. The patches got applied to tor-browser-52.5.2esr-7.5-2 as commit a1beadc5b70e1b6e4727506656723684cf3225bf and a72faadea544a71ae5ca95ec816f2684c205b56a).


Moving almost halfway across the country to somewhere completely different from what you've known all your life is a scary concept. Actually going through with that is as terrifying as it is exciting.
Callaghan Belle knows these feelings all too well.
The song that really sticks out, though, is about Detroit.
I think that's why the vocal sounds so raw and vulnerable – there was a lot of pressure and emotion coming up.
It's a love letter to my hometown; it's about being homesick for a sense of belonging," she says of her song "Dear Detroit".
The singer reveals that the song was recorded in her basement in Detroit.
Instead of overreacting or overthinking, I write a song.
The music video for "Dear Detroit" premiered on YouTube a few weeks ago. Thinking of the process to create the video incites a laugh from the singer.
I feel like we both approach lyrics as poetry and she has been one of my biggest inspirations in that sense.
When it comes to musical influences for her own creations, Callaghan exclaims that she has so many. "The Beatles, Lana Del Rey, Kelly Clarkson, JoJo, The Pretty Reckless, Troye Sivan, Dolly Parton, Led Zeppelin, Aly & AJ…" she offers, just to name a few. There is one artist in particular that she'd love to collaborate with.
"I would adore the chance to write a song with Lana Del Rey. I feel like we both approach lyrics as poetry and she has been one of my biggest inspirations in that sense." Thinking again, she adds, "I'd also love to sing something with Harry Styles. I feel like our voices might sound nice together? But also, swoon." Teenplicity is hoping this will happen soon!
Fans will have a lot to look forward to in 2019 as they anticipate the release of this first EP. "Sovereign," Callaghan says is the title. "Reaching more people through my music and finishing up the second EP," are her other goals for the rest of the year.
One goal she hopes to accomplish over the course of her career?
You can listen to "Dear Detroit" on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Tidal, or purchase it on iTunes!
For all things Callaghan Belle, be sure to follow her on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, and subscribe to her YouTube channel!

I'm here with an update of Kris's challenge to me… which was supposed to be the end of October, but better late then never, right?
Kris challenged me to play Harvest Moon: Light of Hope for the Nintendo Switch. She wanted me to complete the main story line, which… I did not do.
I was supposed to have the month of October to complete this challenge and instead we're in the beginning of December. I had plenty of time in October and the November was hectic with NaNoWriMo and holidays and other obligations. So, not only did I miss the deadline, but I still didn't even complete the challenge.
Harvest Moon is a series I've always wanted to get into. However, whenever I play the games, I get bored really quickly. I don't know why since it's similar to Animal Crossing and I love that. Still, no matter how hard I try, I was never able to get into it.
I love games that are driven by story with a few exceptions (Animal Crossing being one of them, of course.) Harvest Moon: Light of Hope has a story, but… I don't care for it at all. With that said, I had a hard time getting into the game and I didn't play it for a long time because I kept putting it off. Hence, the extended deadline and why I still haven't completed the story.
1. The beginning of this game is so slow.
The story definitely drags in the beginning and it takes a while for you to finally get into the game play. I just wanted to start my farm and casually play the game. There are sprites who come to you and ask for your help in addition to the townspeople. You have to rebuild the town and island before it sinks into the sea. In order to do that, there are five tablets to be found and collected to bring light and energy back to the lighthouse. The first tablet is handed to you pretty much. Each tablet gets "harder" and "longer" to get than the last.
This is all well and fine but I had nothing to start off with. I don't expect to start the game with 10,000 gold, but to rebuild houses and bridges you need a certain amount of certain materials and so much money. I needed to spend money to get the materials, such as seeds for certain crops, and then I needed to hold onto those crops to build the house but in order to make money, I needed to sell those crops. It was a vicious cycle.
Honestly, I spent the majority of spring – the first season in the game – waking up, watering my crops, and then going right back to bed by noon because there was nothing else left for me to do. I couldn't fish and the mines weren't fixed (because I needed to fix them) so it was long and annoying.
2. Loading screens & cut scenes.
Yes, I needed a walk-through for this game. There are so many things to do but I had no idea what I needed to do first to move on with the game. If I didn't look it up, I certainly wouldn't have the fishing rod or the mines and hammer, or even the third out of five tablets.
The island is huge and there are a lot of areas to explore and houses to rebuild. I could have just gone through them all one by one and check out which materials I had and could get versus what I couldn't. But the beginning was slow enough, I just wanted to move on and be able to build my farm and have a casual play through of the game.
Granted, this is supposed to be a casual simulation game but if there's some sort of story, I'd like to know what to do or where to go next.
4. I didn't care about any of the characters.
None of the characters appealed to me at all. They didn't seem to have any depth to them at all. No, I didn't try to marry anyone or give anyone gifts, but I didn't care to either. The sprites weren't much better. They were cute, but they were also pretty annoying.
1. The game did pick up.
Once I opened the mine, got the hammer, and got the fishing rod, I found myself being able to do a lot more. My character was actually staying up until midnight or so doing things and I even found myself playing on because I wasn't able to get everything done I had wanted to in the previous day. So, the game did pick up a little for me and I certainly enjoyed farming, mining, and fishing. If that was the whole game, I'd be much happier.
2. Requests from the villagers.
I've always loved doing requests for the CPU characters. Waking up and having mail in my mailbox giving me a small goal or side-quest to aim for a new material or such is always a good time for me.
3. The music and sound effects were good.
I listed the pros last to end this post on a high note but, as you can see, this game has more cons for me than pros. I don't know if I'll ever get back to this game to complete the story and possibly get to know the characters well enough to marry one of them, but I can't see myself getting back to this game anytime soon. It was just okay for me.
Have you played Harvest Moon: Light of Hope? What are your thoughts on it? Let me know in the comments below!
A while ago, Kris and I had challenged each other to play a game the other had never played. I challenged her to play Luigi's Mansion for the Nintendo Gamecube and she challenged me to play Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones for the Nintendo DS. Since then, we had always wanted to do more challenges such as that as well as something a little different. Well, we've finally decided to bring it back!
Yeah, how long as it been? A little over two years? This time around, the challenge has to do with a couple of our favorite laid-back games. Going with the recent announcements from Nintendo regarding Smash Bros Ultimate and new games for the Switch, Rachel has challenged me to play Animal Crossing: New Leaf, while I'm challenging her to play Harvest Moon: Light of Hope. Considering these games are fairly open-ended, we've tried to set specific goals for each other. Rachel, what do I need to do to complete this challenge?
I have two goals in mind for you. However, complete whichever you'd like before time is up for the challenge. The first goal is to build your house as best you can and completely pay off your debt for a completed first floor along with the first phase of the upstairs, basement, left room, and right room. The second goal is to ensure all your villagers like you, create an awesome town, and make sure your mayor rating is the best it can be.
Alright then… That sounds doable, although I imagine I may come to you with questions, especially about the mayor rating and such, haha. I have never played an Animal Crossing game a decent amount of time before. I played a little bit of the GameCube game and maybe, like, a day or two of New Leaf when it first came out, but I haven't played either long enough to say I "played" Animal Crossing.
Perfect. You'll be fine. You can ask questions or just use the Internet. What is it that I need to do for Harvest Moon: Light of Hope?
Light of Hope has a little "story" that I want you to try to complete. While Light of Hope isn't my favorite Harvest Moon game, it's decent and simple enough when it comes to growing crops and completing the story. If you'd like, you can also woo one of the available bachelors and try to unlock the requirements that come with getting married. It'll give you a fuller Harvest Moon experience, but… I never get married in the games, so I won't require you to do so as well.
Sounds simple enough! In fact, it sounds similar to what you have to do for Animal Crossing. Except there's no true story in Animal Crossing. I'm sure if I get stuck on anything, I'll come to you. Though hopefully I won't get stuck in a Harvest Moon game. Anyway, we'll play the games in our own time and come the end of October, we'll talk about our thoughts and experiences with the games! And see who met the requirements and who didn't.
Here's hoping we both beat the challenge and, hey, maybe enjoy the games while playing!
Will you join us on this challenge? Have any others in mind that we should do in the future? Let us know in the comments below!

How technology is reshaping the insurance industry
by ILSTV Daily News | Feb 8, 2019 | Auto & Trucking, Auto Insurance, Canada, Insurance | 0 comments
Canada has a rich history of innovation, but in the next few decades, powerful technological forces will transform the global economy. Large multinational companies have jumped out to a headstart in the race to succeed, and Canada runs the risk of falling behind. At stake is nothing less than our prosperity and economic well-being. The Financial Post set out to explore what is needed for businesses to flourish and grow. You can find all of our coverage here.
In its simplest form, insurance spreads the risk of loss suffered by one person amongst many. But in today's modern economy, constantly evolving with the tides of innovation, insurance has never been so complex. Technological drivers of change present the industry with some of its greatest opportunities and risks in decades; however, if not managed carefully, technology could be as catastrophic as it is revolutionary to the industry.
Historically, the growth and establishment of insurance originated in the days of the shipping industry when a vessel and its cargo could be damaged or lost due to storm, loading and unloading, fire, or even pirate attacks.
Today, the rapid and significant changes in technological innovation of products present the insurance industry with its greatest risk – and opportunity – since pirates took to the seas. The most significant agents driving this change in the insurance industry are: the Internet of Things (IoT) and autonomous vehicles.
The IoT is the connector between companies, products and consumers. It can also be the engine behind the creation of a multitude of connected devices and technology that will directly present both risks and opportunities for insurers and consumers alike.
Perhaps the most significant IoT-related development is the category of wearable technology. Wearables have expanded beyond their initial explosion into eHealth and are now equipped with the technology required to communicate with one another – and with insurers. Insurers can use this technology to adjust rates and premiums to more accurately reflect usage, as opposed to simply applying statistical averages that may not represent the specific individual.
This technology has advanced to the point where consumers are beginning to endorse insurer use of wearable data, as has been seen in the auto insurance industry using telematic devices that can be connected to your vehicle to transmit user data to insurers. This technology is being embraced by consumers as an opportunity to reduce premiums for good driver behaviours. Something that should only improve with the introduction of autonomous vehicles.
More than 90 per cent of car accidents are caused by human error. The advent of autonomous vehicles is predicted to eliminate human drivers and therefore human error. This likely won't result in a 90 per cent reduction in car accidents, at least initially, but even a conservative estimate of cutting accident rates in half means massive savings in claims paid.
Technological innovations on the road today such as advanced braking and lane keep are already reducing collisions and accordingly premiums associated with vehicles equipped with those technologies. Some savings will be offset by the anticipated higher cost of repairing these complex and expensive vehicles, but if claims paid are reduced, premiums should follow suit.
Given that 42 per cent of property and casualty premiums are derived from car insurance, significant questions arise around how the industry is going to survive such reductions in its present structure.
As part of the Insurance Bureau of Canada's (IBC) paper, Auto Insurance for Automated Vehicles: Preparing for a Future of Mobility, the IBC sets out a "single policy" insurance framework where one policy would respond to any claim made against the "driver," even if the vehicle is being operated in autonomous mode. In this way, insurers move from insuring not only the negligence of the driver but also any negligence with respect to the autonomous features that may have been involved. Whether the various provinces and territories will adopt this approach remains to be seen, but the insurance industry has correctly perceived a risk and is attempting to mitigate that through new opportunities.
Of course, as technology advances, so do the accompanying risks. For example, many vehicles have a keyless feature wherein simply approaching your locked vehicle allows you to open the door and drive away without using the key. Car thieves have responded with a device that detects the signal being emitted from the key fob and can boost that signal so that it reaches the locked vehicle in the driveway. The thief can then steal the car while the keys are still "safely" locked inside the home.
Consumer behaviour changes gradually and this gap between initial adoption and understanding creates an opening for criminally-minded technology experts to manipulate.
Like the sea-faring pirates of old, the new security risks will both create opportunities for insurers and raise concerns for consumers and insurers alike. To succeed in the decades ahead, insurance companies of the future need to embrace innovation and adapt rapidly. Consumers will remain the central drivers of these changes as expectations for more personalization and convenience will remain high. But in a fast evolving industry which is as vital to consumers and business as it is the economy, caution and control must be applied. Regulators will need to listen to both insurers and consumers alike to futureproof the industry and develop frameworks that protect both the sector and society.

Sideboards have been an item of furniture in the home for hundreds of years, so there is an extensive variety of styles and looks to choose from. An antique sideboard, also known as a buffet, was usually placed against a wall in a dining room, typically waist high, it was generally used to store glasses, china and cutlery. An antique sideboard offers an attractive solution if you struggle with space in the kitchen or a unique piece just placed in the home to provide added storage.
Before fitted kitchens came into existence sideboards were very popular. In the 16th C they came into existence across Europe, previous to sideboards, narrow tables and shelves sufficed as food preparation areas or for food storage. By the end of the 18th C sideboards were a common feature in dining rooms across Britain and seen as fashionable, they increased in popularity as houses had one room solely for the purposes of dining. Earlier sideboards were merely two pedestal cupboards at either side of the side table, some of the early sideboards also contained a compartment for a china potty, should gentlemen wish to relieve themselves throughout the meal.
There are a wide array of antique sideboards to choose from oak was generally the most popular wood used, but there are also mahogany sideboards and pine sideboards. Generally sideboards are made from hardwoods so there may be a veneer over the pine, it is worthy to note that sideboards with a veneer are more difficult to repair should repairs be needed.
18th C sideboards often have curved tops with thin legs and their side storage compartments may be bigger than their central storage area. Victorian sideboards sometimes have mirrors behind the sideboard surface, and may have carvings, generally of animals or other mythical creatures. Victorian sideboards tend to be large and heavy with a good deal of storage space, design styles from this period include neo-classical, rococo and gothic- these antique sideboards may also be an based on a combination of these styles.
Other notable styles include Chinese sideboards, which were popular during the Victorian period and some of the 20thC, these sideboards often had simple lines, with iron or bronze statement latches and hinges and tended to have a black or red gloss finish.
A rustic simple oak or pine sideboard has both elements of practicality and charm, whilst an Arts and Crafts design sideboard is very simple yet elegant and functional. For a more elaborate look an Art Deco sideboard is more modern with highly decorative veneers; they are a distinct style. Another decorative sideboard is the William IV chiffonier, which also often has intricate carvings.
Notable sideboards makers include Thomas Chippendale, sideboards were one of his first designs, over time it became more and more functional with built in compartments. Sheraton also designed some lovely sideboards with serpentine fronts and elegant knife boxes. Hepplewhite's sideboard is also a very sought after piece, elegant with graceful curves and slim-line legs, it is a nice example of a Georgian sideboard.
When determining the age of the antique sideboard there are a few distinctive features to look out for, pre 19th C sideboard hinges tend to be bulkier, sideboards with screws will have been made after the late 1700's as screws were not used previous to this. Antique sideboards were not usually built to a standard size so it is a consideration when purchasing this attractive piece of furniture for ones home.

Flavia Basilina (meghalt 332/333, Konstantinápoly) a görög származású Flavius Iulius Iulianus leánya, Flavius Iulius Constantius második felesége. Házasságkötésük ideje ismeretlen, 324 és 330 között történt, mivel Constantius első felesége, Galla 324-ben még biztosan életben volt, 330-ban viszont már Basilina volt a felesége. 331. április 7-én született egyetlen gyermeke, Flavius Claudius Iulianus, a későbbi császár.

Valószínűleg a bithyniai, de közelebbről ismeretlen helyen fekvő Basilinopolisban született, amely Iulianus uralkodása alatt kapta városi rangját és nevét. Görög családból származik, ez biztos, de egyes források szerint apja nem Iulius Iulianus, hanem egy Caeionius Iulianus Camenius nevű ember volt. Ez utóbbiról azonban nem sokat tudni. Basilina művelt nő volt, egy eunuch, Mardonius tanította, aki később fiának és mostohafiának (Flavius Constantius Gallus) is nevelője lett. Az ő nővére volt Procopius anyja. Ariánus keresztény volt, rokona nikomédiai Euszebiosz püspöknek.

Q: Objective-C: How to define a macro to disable a piece of source code from pod dependency? I have a private dependent pod project which is built by us via cocoapods, now I want to use a macro, e.g. ADHOC, to disable some source codes in pod project like this,
#if ADHOC
    // for ad hoc build.
#else
    // for app store build.
#endif

There are two high-level projects which rely on the pod project and they have different requirements, one for ad-hoc build (projectA), another for app store build (projectB).
After building the dependence relationship in their Podfile, I tried to define ADHOC macro in projectA before importing the entry header file, it just won't build the source code within ADHOC statement, even if importing the entry header file in main project's prefix header file.
I know the MAS_SHORTHAND macro usage in Masonry, it defines two pieces of implementation of those methods, when compiling to the main project, it pre-compiles the shortcut method to full version.
For my case, I expect the macro definition from the main project could affect the pod project. It seems something ridiculous, I know the compile order of the module. It may be impossible to focus on main project only, so I guess the cocoapods may make it works, to inject the macro to pod project before compiling it.
If there are some configuration values for Podfile (not the .podspec) file, please let me know, thanks!

A: Did it! I built the post_install hook in Podfile to define a custom preprocessor macro, here is it.
# Inject the target macro.
# http://stackoverflow.com/a/27138078/1677041
post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        if target.name == "foo_target_name"
            target.build_configurations.each do |config|
                config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= ['$(inherited)']
                config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] << 'ADHOC=1'
            end
            puts "\n\e[3m\e[32mInject a macro ADHOC to target!\e[0m\e[23m\n\n"
        end
    end
end

A: What you are trying is not a good idea and maybe near impossible.
Pod-project is a dependency of project-A and project-B, this means pod-project is built before building project-A and project-B.
Your proposal will reverse the dependency, having pod-project being dependent on project-A and/or project-B.

The normal way to get around this issue is have pod-project build with both the ad-hoc and app store behaviors (with differently named classes or methods). This is when you use an ADHOC macro in project-A to select the ad-hoc behavior instead of the app store behavior.
#if defined(ADHOC)
#define MyClass MyClassAdHoc
#else
#define MyClass MyClassAppStore
#endif

…

MyClass *instance = [[MyClass] alloc] init];

Christchurch shootings: man accused pleads guilty to killing 51 people
Last year, Australian citizen Brenton Tarrant plead not guilty to 92 charges, including 51 counts of murder, 40 counts of attempted murder and one charge under the Terrorism Suppression Act, the first time such a charge has been laid inside the country.
But, appearing via audiovisual link from a prison in Auckland, Tarrant plead guilty on all counts at a hearing in the Christchurch High Court on Thursday morning. He is expected back in court in May. New Zealand Police say Tarrant will not be sentenced until it is possible for all victims who wish to attend the hearing to do so — something that may be delayed by the current pandemic.
The High Court hearing comes as New Zealand goes into lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus, with only essential services — including courts — allowed to stay open.
Tarrant's admission of guilt also comes just days since the anniversary of the deadly attack, which took place on March 15 last year and was New Zealand's worst mass shooting in modern history.
Under New Zealand law, murder carries a life sentence, and convicted murderers must spend at least 10 years in prison before they are eligible for parole.
Guilty plea welcomed
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said that the guilty plea would "provide some relief to the many people whose lives were shattered" by the attacks.
Arrangements for the court hearing were made at a short notice after Tarrant indicated on Tuesday via his lawyers that he wanted to be brought before the court, New Zealand Police Commissioner Mike Bush said in a statement.
"Police appreciate this news will come as a surprise to the victims and the public, some of whom may have wished to be present in the courtroom," Bush said. The two Imams from the Al Noor and Linwood Islamic Center — the two mosques targeted in the attack — were in the courtroom to represent victims, Bush added.
"While the sentencing hearing is still pending, today's guilty pleas are a significant milestone in respect of one of our darkest days," Bush said. "I want to acknowledge the victims, their families and the community of Christchurch — the many lives that were changed forever."
Ahmed Khan, who was inside Linwood Islamic Center in Christchurch during the attack, said that he heard about Tarrant's plea in an email sent by the court to victims on Thursday morning.
"It's pretty surprising," said Khan, who held an injured man as he died in his arms. "I'm quite happy that he's pleading guilty to all the charges so we don't have to see his face during a long trial."
He said victims were worried that the trial — which had been scheduled for June — would be dragged out by Tarrant so that he could get extra attention.
"(People in the court room) were really angry and got really emotional because it seemed like the offender was not sorry," Khan said. "Now we are hoping for a good outcome."
Aftermath of the deadly attack
Tarrant was arrested on March 15, last year, within 21 minutes of the first emergency calls being received by police.
Almost all of the victims died at Al Noor mosque and Linwood Islamic Center. Only two died later in hospital, including a Turkish citizen who died in May.
The victims hailed from all around the world, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Less than a month after the shooting, New Zealand lawmakers voted to change the country's gun laws to ban military-style semiautomatic weapons.

For Teacher Appreciation Week 2017, Learning Ally held a PINtastic contest! Educators from across the nation submitted their ideas on how to use audiobooks for struggling readers in the classroom. It was difficult to choose, but in the end the following boards blew us away for their creative ideas and diversity of pins. Each teacher will receive a $500 gift card to spend on new classroom technology!
6th Grade ELA teacher from Jackson-Milton Local Schools, Ohio Mary Lu's board caught our eye with its 52 pins and topics including how to increase fluency using audiobooks to print-outs for classroom teachers. Check it out here.
4th Grade teacher from Minneapolis Public Schools, Minnesota Elizabeth is a 4th grade teacher, but her board incorporates ideas for older grades as well. She shows a wide range of diversity including an idea of how to create a "literature circle" for a group activity. See her board here.
Elementary teacher from West Carroll Parish, Louisiana Ashley has several engaging ideas, including a "battle of the books" March Madness type activity. Her board is here.


Introduced in 1985 and currently used by Czech Armed Forces, the Czech Woodland Camo (also known as the 'leaf pattern vz. 95') features black, gray-green and olive green disruptive leaf shapes on a pale green background and is believed to be based on the U.S. ERDL pattern adapted for central Europe forest environments. Perfect for forest based combat situations, works brilliantly in deep woodland surroundings. The Military 1st online store offers range of military style clothing and accessories in this original pattern, including variety of tactical vests and webbing, as well as combat pants, shirts and backpacks.

What trialsin bikes did you ride?
Montesita T10 then T15 then T12, because when I make the first Spanish Championship race in 82, I win with the T15. I was very small. When we get there all the top riders from Barcelona have very special bikes, very short handle bars, very short frames and then they make the T12 and Pedro Pi say this is much better for you so I start with the T12. Then I finished, I think I finished with the Monty the blue one, but I am not sure.
Were you sponsored and did you have a contract with them?
No no no no my father was paying and I go there and ride the trial. Everything was much cheaper those days, it's much much much more now.
Did your mother ever come along to the trialsin to watch?
Did your parents come and watch you ride the moto as well?
Yes many times. She was very ….I don't know how to say this ha ha. Before the races she was like "hey, you have to clean your teeth, you have to clean your underwear because if you crash ….you know and they have to take out your clothes you much be clean". I remember one time I was riding with a Cota 200 and I have a crash and I hit my knee and I was like this aaarrggghhh and she arrives and she said "You have dirt here, clean it clean it " . She was very funny. She liked things perfect ha ha.
Who was your trials hero as a young man?
All of the Montesa riders. When I was a kid I just look for the Montesa riders . It doesn't matter if you are Vesterinin or ….Malcolm Rathmell was my favorite because since I remember he was riding a Montesa with the Nava helmet so I remember Malcolm was my hero for many times since I start to race.
Here are a couple of nice pictures of Amos meeting his teenage idol Malcolm Rathmell at the Red Lion pub.
Amos and Andreu Codina at this time stayed with Malcolm and Rhoda and the Grassington hotel , which they ran.
What do you do when you come to the UK ?
When I was 15 or something like that then I start to look at Jordi Tarres then Iike Diego Bosis and he was the best. His riding style everything, you know, I like him a lot. For years I like Jordi. I work with Jordi. I was in the same team on the same bike, but Diego Bosis was very very spectacular and very impressive riding.
At 16, I then move to Barcelona. My first World Round was in 86. I make 2 rounds. One was in Spain, which was in Peromoyer , in between Lieda and Andorra and the 2nd one was in Italy. So I made these 2 races and I make all of the Spanish Championships and I live here and only spend a few days in Barcelona, but then in 87 I made half of the World Championship. In these days the calendar was like ok, one race in Spain and then France, then Belgium, then England, then one in Italy then Czech Republic and then Poland and Germany. It was like you go for one month. You together in the van with Andreu Codina, with Gallach, Gabino Renales. So from March to June I miss all the school when I was 17. Then when I was 18 I made all of the Spanish Championship, all of the World Championship and many indoor. I was at school but all of the races and practices were in Barcelona and the World Round, so I have to move and I go for these 4 races. In June when I have all of the exams I was at the races. This was not easy for my parents I know but they have talk a lot with the people from the Federation and people from Antonio Trueba. Trueba say Amos is doing very good, he can be good doing this job, during this year..
Was it difficult for your parents to accept?
Yes, but Is 16 not 14 or 12. At 16 many people start to work. I was not perfect in the school. I think I pass the exams but my mother was a teacher. She was a teacher for the young kids.
I had good fun at school but I don't remember it was a long time ago. I remember it was funny, funny. I just play around. If I have an exam in 10 days I wait till the last day in the afternoon to decide that many be now I am going to read the book and then I say on the way to the school tomorrow morning I check the book. So it was like it has no sense and I no read the book ha ha, but still I was not a bad student.
Who noticed you when you were riding the moto and picked you out?
I start to make the trial with my father and his friend in all of this area and there was not a top rider, so I was doing things that nobody was make in those days and this was something strange about, the riding style. So the first time we moved to Spanish Championship in 85, the Junior Class with Oscar Giro and many riders from Barcelona I get with my Cota 242 painted red with the beta stickers, then Trueba stickers, because we buy handlebars and many parts from him. I won the trial but I went out because I was one minutes late so that makes first time out and hey this is very good result. I beat all the people from Barcelona who had been riding for a while. This was my first trial, in the Spanish Championship. I won at this time when I was 15 and I was 2nd in the Championship. From this moment we thought "hey, we going to take this a bit more serious ". Then Trueba give us a Beta, let us have it, no need to pay for the bike and start to make very good results at the Junior Class in the Spanish Championship different places.
Did you have to be 16 to ride the Championship?
Not in those days, not in those days. I ride a 250cc bike in those days everything was cc. I stopped the Trial cin at 13, 1983. In 83 when I finished with the bicycle I went with my father to test from here to this mountain with his friends and we are going to make a few sections here.
When do you remember your first competition as being?
I think with 8 years, but I am not sure.
After you had left school, had you ever had a normal job like the rest of us?
Have you ever ridden Enduro or motocross?
Just for fun, Motocross, when I start at 7 years old I start with both, trial and motocross and prefer motocross much more but my parents stop me because in those days they start to bring special bikes for kids from Italy and many places and there were some fights in between the parents. There are two categories. I used to ride with the Cota 25 with several modifications. A different exhaust, but then they start to bring in much more powerful bikes and my parents stop me and tell me to just make the trial and bicycle but I like the motocross a lot, I still do. It's too dangerous.
When was your first World Round?
My first World Round was in 86. In 86 I make Spain and Italy, I finished 41 and 43, something like that but I think there were about 100 entries.
How did you get the initial introduction with Trueba?
I think he know my father, because he had travelled to Barcelona for the 3 days and many places he was a trial enthusiast and I think he talked with Trueba and start to buy handle bars and special parts for the Montesa and from that point Trueba start to look after me and before you buy the handlebars, now give you the handlebars and I give you a few tyres, I give you the mudguards and ok I give you this bike for this year and for the season after the season you given the bike back to me and I give you a new bike. It was in 86 that I get the first bike from Trueba.

Die Bristol Bulldog war ein Doppeldecker-Jagdflugzeug des britischen Herstellers Bristol Aeroplane Company, das zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen produziert wurde.

Geschichte
Von Juni 1929 bis 1939 wurden die Flugzeuge fast nur in England eingesetzt. Den einzigen Auslandseinsatz dieser Maschinen gab es während des Abessinienkrieges im Jahr 1935. Sie galt als sehr schwierig zu fliegende Maschine. In der Ausführung IIA (ab Oktober 1930) wurden Verbesserungen am Fahrgestell, dem Ruder sowie dem Spornradfahrwerk vorgenommen.
Bei der Bulldog IV verwendete Bristol zum ersten Mal den Townend-Ring zur Verkleidung des sternförmigen luftgekühlten Motors.
Die Bewaffnung besteht aus zwei starr an beiden Seiten des Rumpfes eingebauten Vickers MG mit je 600 Schuss Munition.
Unter dem linken Unterflügel ist eine Vorrichtung für 4 × 10,8 kg Bomben vorgesehen.
Zur militärischen Ausrüstung gehört noch eine Funkanlage MARCONI AD 5 zur Befehlsübernahme.

Zwischenfälle
Während der Nutzungsdauer dieses Flugzeugtyps gab es 102 Unfälle mit insgesamt 25 Toten.

The New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) says a criminal court summons has been issued to the owner of a building in Harlem for failing to maintain the property's deteriorating façade and long-standing sidewalk shed which has been up for more than 10 years.
As well, the DOB reports in its most recent newsletter that two construction sites were recently issued violations for material and debris falls. The general contractors for both projects were given $25,000 fines for this failure to safeguard the sites.
DOB says $148,500 in penalties were recently issued to five separate properties in Manhattan for the illegal transient use of the buildings and related safety issues.
As well, seven different individuals were recently issued $10,000 fines for failing to carry out their duties as registered construction superintendents.

Alexander's 42-yard field goal cements Northeast's homecoming win over Glen Burnie
By Katherine Fominykh
Northeast football celebrates its win over Glen Burnie on Sept. 27, 2019. (Katherine Fominykh)
Some games are won in long, sprawling drives ripe with beautiful, crisp passes and tricky, quick-footed runs.
Others are won because a kicker didn't want to let down her team. The thoughts kept running through her head as she stepped to the ball, a field goal on the line.
"I just think, 'I have to make it. I have to make it for my team," Kayla Alexander said. "I don't want to let them down and I never want to.'"
Though Northeast had managed to hold on to its lead over Glen Burnie for three quarters, Alexander's 42-yard boot was the cherry on top, drying the ink on the Eagles' 37-26 homecoming victory over the Gophers.
It was her first field goal of the season on her very first attempt, a challenge not only because of the distance but also because of the spot. Alexander, a right-footed kicker, had struggled to find fruition from the left side hash, where she was positioned on Friday night late in the fourth quarter.
With a four weeks of regular season football under her belt, Alexander enjoyed the fruits of her labor, as well as the teammates she'd secured another victory with.
"I absolutely love it," she said. "I could not have asked for a better team to play with. They love and support me. They treat me right. They love me, and I love them."
To Eagles coach Brian Baublitz, the moment Alexander's kick flew just over the posts – which put Northeast (2-2) up by three scores – was the moment the game was won.
"She keeps getting better, every week," the coach said. "Her leg is tremendously strong. She started out with a long of 35, and then after a couple weeks, it was 38. Now, she just went to 42 in practice this week. So when I'd seen it was at 42, I was like, 'Let's give her a shot.' She nailed it."
Northeast junior Tyleek Coleman churned up 62 yards to secure the first six points on the very first play of the night. It set the tone for his 91-yard total on seven carries, a sum second only to Myles Macon, affectionately dubbed "Boobie Miles," who led the Eagles with 93 yards on 13 holds.
"Tyleek's Mr. Everything for us. He's the shutdown corner on the one side. They don't ever go his way. Everything's to the other side," Baublitz said.
It was Macon's first game back, which only benefited Coleman and the Eagles.
"… (Without Macon), we had to ask Tyleek to move over to fullback," Baublitz said. "He plays fullback, wing, wide receiver. It's just 'wherever you need me, coach.'"
After Coleman's blink-of-an-eye touchdown rush, Glen Burnie (1-3) needed a bit more time to accomplish the same thing – but they did.
The Gophers primarily depended on 5-foot-7 running back Marquese Harris to march up Northeast's field in mostly single-digit dashes, interrupted once as quarterback Ryan Witt connected with wideout Bryce Mitchell over 13 yards.

But it was Harris who picked the fruit of that drive, breaking the plane from seven yards out.
For a moment, Glen Burnie seemed to be promising a game to be decided by a nose. But that was the last time the Gophers evened the count with its hosts.
On fourth-and-10, a down to be replayed due to five-yard penalty, quarterback Riley Pitt (7 for 9, 153 yards) launched a 23-yard rocket to junior Jaden Roberts to double the Eagles score.
Roberts went on to lead his squad with three receptions for 68 yards.
As the second half kicked off, though, Glen Burnie made sure it stayed on the Eagles' heels. After running back Jaden Derry chipped nine yards away to place the visitors at the one-yard line, Witt took the touchdown plunge.
"We gotta go back to the drawing board because our defensive line is struggling and our linebackers are struggling," Baublitz said. "We'd mixed and matched and changed a couple things. At the end of the first half, (defense) really settled down and started playing well. I think we've got a nice combination now. It's kind of like we've got eight good defensive lineman, but we don't have that stud. We think we have the talent there, but no one's emerged yet."
However, the Gophers' hopes of snatching up the lead fell flat as its attempt for a two-point conversion did.
In a game marred by flags thrown so often it resembled the gold glitter thrown by homecoming goers in the bleachers, it's no wonder that Northeast earned a second chance at a touchdown late in the second quarter via laundry.
Though Glen Burnie had the opportunity to kick its hosts out on downs, a pass interference call handed Northeast a first down and prime spot on the gridiron to work from the 12 yard mark.
A few penalties later, Pitt wheeled back in the pocket, spotted Mason "Katnip" Kanipe under heavy guard, barely room to stand in the corner of the end-zone. And yet, as the ball took to the air, it greeted Kanipe, handing Northeast its third touchdown on its third drive.
[More from sports] Life after South River was going well for Ka'Ron Lewis. Now, everything is on hold. »
No campaign ended without a score until less than three minutes remained before halftime. The Eagles defense combined to force three incomplete passes from Witt.
On Northeast's try, Pitt took off running as time expired, cutting and dodging around Gophers until he was forced out around the five-yard mark.
As he and the other Eagles walked off the field, leading Glen Burnie 21-13, yet another yellow flag hit the turf, the last of almost a dozen thrown against both squads during Northeast's 10-move set.
The third quarter nearly faded into scoreless obscurity as both teams surrendered possession on downs. So the Eagles tried a new option in a new set of legs – sophomore back Cole Souvenir got the last two pair of carries, one for a 13-yard meal and another for an eight-yard touchdown that pushed Northeast ahead 27-13 with less than three minutes to go in the frame.
Rather than heading back to the drawing board like its hosts did, Glen Burnie stuck to what it knew worked. Just as he had in at the top of the second, Witt trusted Derry to get the job done.
Derry took that mission and went the extra mile.
After a 23-yard sling from Witt put Glen Burnie 40 yards out, the junior running back sewed up the rest. His six points plus a good kick put the Gophers just one touchdown away from catching up and, possibly, running ahead with the lead.
But just like in the first half, Pitt was not to be shaken by a third down and 31 conundrum. Coleman busted his way through the Glen Burnie defenses and looked back, in time to pocket his quarterback's 27-yard pass.
Then, Roberts, not to by outdone by his teammate, received for the exact same distance. Pitt needed only to cross four yards to put two scores between him and the Gophers, which he did.

Keep up with all the games during the season.
Macon and the Eagles defense made sure their pilot's efforts weren't for nothing. The hosts outwitted Glen Burnie, dragging down Witt twice in the backfield. It was a late moment, and ultimately not the deciding factor in the game, but Baublitz was proud to see his defense post their first two sacks of the fall.
"Once they got those two sacks, yeah, they were hitting them late, but they were getting there," he said. "Obviously, as a coaching staff, we don't want personal fouls, but when they're aggressive personal fouls, and that's been an aspect of your game that's been struggling all year, we'll take it!"
Backup quarterback Tony Miller and his crew ran down the clock as "I believe that we will win" chants rained down from the homecoming crowd, and Alexander's field goal upped the count for Northeast one last time.
Glen Burnie had one last card to play. With 16 seconds remaining, Witt connected with Kamryn Ballard from seven yards away.
By the end of the night, the Eagles, finished with approximately 35 penalties, according to the coaching staff. While on Friday, those flags didn't equal defeat, Baublitz knows they very well could going forward.

"We gotta clean it up," he said. "We got to talk about discipline and focus because I'm a big believer, at this age, most penalties are just focus issues. We work on blocking all the time and we had six or seven holding penalties. The kids know better but they get so wrapped up in the energy of the game they throw their fundamentals out the window. … But we'll fix what went wrong."

Another woman has come forward with allegations against T.J. Miller, saying he once drugged her drink
By Toria sheffield
Yesterday, December 19th, news broke that a currently anonymous woman (called "Sarah" in the Daily Beast report that broke the story) had come forward with sexual assault allegations against T.J. Miller. Both the comedian and his wife denied the claims in a joint public statement, but now yet another woman has leveled claims of sexual misconduct against him.
In case you missed it, the initial allegations appeared in an article in The Daily Beast. The victim explained that she briefly dated Miller in college, and during that time he both physically and sexually assaulted her. She eventually took the case to campus authorities, and had several roommates testify on her behalf.
That same day, a female comedian took to Twitter and claimed that she, too, had experienced an aggressive encounter with Miller.
And the latest story, shared in a post by a Twitter user named Dalia, adds another layer to this story. Dalia recounts a time "about 5, maybe 6 years ago" when she and several friends were at an open-mic night. Miller — already an established star on the comedy scene — dropped in to do a set, and proceeded to flirt with Dalia at the bar.
Dalia then recalls that she left her drink to step outside (thinking a friend would be near it the whole time). When she returned, the bartender quickly grabbed the drink before she had time to take a sip, explaining that he had seen Miller loitering near it, and at one point he had removed the napkin that had been placed over the brim of the glass.
"As the bar tender put it, he didn't feel comfortable letting me have the drink without knowing if it had been messed with."
Dalia went on to write,
"The whole time Miller watched me and asked me at least three times how I was feeling. I can only assume it was to see if any drugs that had been flipped me had taken effect.
She ended her post with, "Bartender got a huge tip, and I really learned the lesson of vigilance, even if you are with friends." She also noted that she had been encouraged to share her story in light of the recent other allegations against Miller.
It certainly seems as though a pattern of behavior is emerging when it comes to how the comedian treats women, and we will be monitoring this story as it develops. We also — as always — thank these women for coming forward with their stories. Every voice matters in this reckoning. As of yesterday, December 19th, Miller's animated comedy series The Gorburger Show has officially been canceled after one season.

Mutation of microalgae from antifouling sensitivity to antifouling resistance allows phytoplankton dispersal through ships' biofouling
Authors: Costas, Eduardo; Gonzalez, Raquel; López-Rodas, Victoria ; Huertas, I. Emma
Keywords: Biofouling
Introduced species
Microalgae
Citation: Biological Invasions 15(8): 739-1750 (2013)
Abstract: Marine ecosystems are affected by introduced species including microalgae. We propose that biofouling on ships' hulls is a potentially important mechanism for microalgae dispersal worldwide. Biofouling samples, for phytoplankton composition analysis, were collected in Spanish Mediterranean ports from the hulls of ships that had completed oceanic journeys from other Mediterranean ports, and long journeys from the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Samples representing the local population of phytoplankton either in the water column or attached to the biofouling of locally-based ship-hulls were used as controls. A broad variety of microalgae species (including toxic dinoflagellates), which were not present in the local phytoplankton populations were found on the biofouling film of the ships that had been on distant journeys. In spite of the presence of the antifouling paints containing toxic compounds, microalgae were able to rapidly adapt to these non-favourable conditions. Consequently, our study shows that ships' biofouling seems to be a powerful vector for microalgae dispersal at a global scale due to the capacity of microalgae to attach to the biofouling film and to cope by adaptation mechanisms with antifouling compounds.
