'I Abused Animal' is Heather Leigh's first proper solo studio album after solo releases on labels Golden Lab, Not Not Fun, Fag Tapes, Wish Image and Volcanic Tongue. Renowned as a fearless free improviser, I Abused Animal is a breakthrough work showcasing Heather Leigh's songwriting prowess, foregrounding her stunning voice and her innovations for the pedal steel guitar. Warmly recorded in a secret location in the English countryside, the album transmutes the power of her captivating live performances to a studio setting, capturing her tactile playing in full clarity while making devastating use of volume and space. Heather Leigh explores themes of abuse, sexual instinct, vulnerability, memory, shadow, fantasy, cruelty and projection. I Abused Animal is a personal, idiosyncratic and deeply psychedelic work, ranging from almost Kousokuya-scale black blues through the kind of ethereal electro-ritual of Solstice-era Coil. At times the intimacy of the recordings makes you feel like she's singing directly into your ear, playing just for you.

Rukmani, K and Ramakrishna, J (1992) A nuclear quadrupole resonance spectrometer with automatic gain control and sideband suppression. In: Review of Scientific Instruments, 63 (10). pp. 4271-4276.
A cw nuclear quadrupole resonance spectrometer centered on the superregenerative oscillator and working in the range 20–40 MHz is described. Both automatic gain control and sideband suppression have been incorporated by using external quench waveforms of variable mark-to-space ratio. Extensive use of ICs in these circuits leads to ease of construction as well as increased reliability. The S/N obtained remains unaffected by the automatic gain control while the sideband suppression does give rise to a small degradation. The spectrum of $NaClO_3$ has been recorded.

Q: C++ Being able to exit from a function at any given time This example is a very basic and simple program.
I want to be able to exit from a function whenever the user wants to.
In the add() function i'm able to exit on the
cin>>NumA;

line by typing 9999 and it will return me to the menu. However i would only be able to exit at this point, so if i wanted to exit at any time i'd have to add the
if (NumA == 9999)
{
    return;
}

throught all of the program. I want to be able to exit at any time inside of the function, even better if it can be done by pressing a key, like backspace.
I suppose there is a better way to implement this, how can i do this? Maybe another function :^)
void add()
{
cout << "Addition" << endl;
cout << "Number A: ";
int NumA;
cin>>NumA;
if (NumA == 9999)
{
    return;
}
cout << "Number B: ";
int NumB;
cin>>NumB;

int Result = NumA + NumB;
cout << NumA << " + " << NumB << " = " << Result<<endl;
}

int main()
{
int Op;
do
{
    cout << "Main" << endl;
    cout << "1) Add" << endl;
    cout << "2) Another function call" << endl;
    cout << "3) Yet another function call" << endl;
    cout << "n) ..." << endl;
    cout << "0, to exit" << endl;
    cin>>Op;
    switch (Op)
    {
    case 1:
    {
        add();
    }
    default:
    {
        break;
    }
    }
}
while (Op != 0);

}

A: Most easiest option would be to handle exit point in one of the
Switch case statement as follows.
*** Also don't forget to add break statement after every case statement
switch (Op)
{
    case 1:
        add();
    break ;

    case 0:
        return 0 ;
    break ;

    default:
        cout << "Invalid option" << endl;
    break;
}

Thanks

A: Well, I tried to write a small sample program as per your description. I am not sure if it will work on Visual Studio. I compiled it on MacOS using g++. The below code may not be a good way of writing a program, but it sort of works, and maybe helpful for your cause.
I modified your code to make a simpler program for better understanding -
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream>

int sum = 0;
int main(); // Prototyping main() is also not recommended

void siginthandler(int param)
{
    std::cout << "[INTERRUPT] Sum so far => " << sum << "\n";
    main(); // main() shouldn't be called here, but rather some menu function
}

void add()
{
    std::cout << "Addition\n";
    std::cout << "Enter a number : ";
    int NumA;
    std::cin >> NumA;
    sum += NumA;
    std::cout << "[ADD] Sum so far => " << sum << "\n";
}

int main()
{
    // Register the SIGINT handler with the main()
    signal(SIGINT, siginthandler);
    int Op;
    do
    {
        std::cout << "Main" << std::endl;
        std::cout << "1) Add" << std::endl;
        std::cout << "2) Another function call" << std::endl;
        std::cout << "0, to exit" << std::endl;
        std::cin>>Op;
        switch (Op)
        {
            case 1:
            {
                add(); break;
            }
            default:
            {
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    while (Op != 0);
    std::cout << "[MAIN] Sum so far => " << sum << "\n";
    exit(0);
}

It does compile on g++, so I am not sure if it will work for your case or not.
Below is the output I got by executing the program :

Abhinavs-MacBook-Pro:test abhinav$ ./a.out
Main
1) Add
2) Another function call
0, to exit
1
Addition
Enter a number : 34
[ADD] Sum so far => 34
Main
1) Add
2) Another function call
0, to exit
1
Addition
Enter a number : 56
[ADD] Sum so far => 90
Main
1) Add
2) Another function call
0, to exit
^C[INTERRUPT] Sum so far => 90
Main
1) Add
2) Another function call
0, to exit
0
[MAIN] Sum so far => 90
Abhinavs-MacBook-Pro:test abhinav$

I hope the above code helps. May the force be with you..!! :)

One of the last shows Gracie directed was the Crimson Clan Chorus recital on November 23, 1976. The show, "A Time for Thanksgiving," featured ten husbands of the female group members. The twenty-member chorus featured popular music of the time, and took up a collection to donate to individuals in need during the holiday season. Although this show was near the end of her career, it drew large crowds anticipating an evening of entertainment. The recital was not only characteristically entertaining, but it also had an element of benevolence, for which Gracie was so well known. In the late 1970s, after a nearly 50-year career, a retired Peterson was asked about her philosophy of life. She explained, "Get up in the morning and be thankful that you got through the night alright. If you did get up, you should be thankful and start a new day. I just live one day at a time" (Obituary).

Q: How to prevent while loop outputs from colliding with previous outputs? After the first pass through the while loop, the output of the second pass appends to the last line of the first pass.
Here, I'm using a while loop with bash, I suspect that it's a \n problem.
There are two files, here's a bit of each:
input1
CGTGGGAA
TGTGGGAA
CGTGAGAA

namePBM
AAAAAACAACAGGAGGGCATCATGGAGCTGTCCAGCCTGT    220.632711
AAAAAACAGCCGGATCACAATTTTGCCGAGAGCGACCTGT    221.514925

AAAAAACTCTAGACCTTTAGCCCATCGTTGGCCAACCTGT    262.183554

Here is the relevant snippet of code:
while IFS= read -r line
do
    OutputA1+=$(grep -o -P "$line" "$namePBM") #Shows Target Site
    OutputA2+=$(grep -o -P ".{0,2}$line" "$namePBM" | sed 's/........$//') #5' Flank
    OutputA3+=$(awk -v pat="$line" '$1~pat {print $2}' "$namePBM") #Intensity Values
done < "$input1"

OutputA4=$(paste <(echo "$OutputA1") <(echo "$OutputA2") <(echo "$OutputA3"))

echo "$OutputA4"

The output looks like this:
CGTGGGAA        AT      500.306264
CGTGGGAA        GA      216.029774

The expected output should be TGTGGGAA and its associated data forms on the next line.

A: OK easy answer right now is that you need to emit a newline at the end of each iteration of the loop.
By default I think the $() command capture discards the last newline, and that is what then causes the lines to overlap.
Adding && echo '' may be good enough:
while IFS= read -r line
do
  OutputA1+=$(grep -o -P "$line" "$namePBM" && echo '') #Shows Target Site
  OutputA2+=$(grep -o -P ".{0,2}$line" "$namePBM" | sed 's/........$//' && echo '') #5' Flank
  OutputA3+=$(awk -v pat="$line" '$1~pat {print $2}' "$namePBM" && echo '') #Intensity Values
done < "$input1"

OutputA4=$(paste <(echo "$OutputA1") <(echo "$OutputA2") <(echo "$OutputA3"))

echo "$OutputA4"

In fact, no, $() discards all trailing lines (says @Gordon), so we are left with
while IFS= read -r line
do
  OutputA1+=$(grep -o -P "$line" "$namePBM") #Shows Target Site
  OutputA1+=$'\n'
  OutputA2+=$(grep -o -P ".{0,2}$line" "$namePBM" | sed 's/........$//') #5' Flank
  OutputA2+=$'\n'
  OutputA3+=$(awk -v pat="$line" '$1~pat {print $2}' "$namePBM") #Intensity Values
done < "$input1"
  OutputA3+=$'\n'

OutputA4=$(paste <(echo "$OutputA1") <(echo "$OutputA2") <(echo "$OutputA3"))

echo "$OutputA4"

For debugging purposes it may be useful to also print the line number in namePBM where the match was found using the grep -n argument.
To do this in a single sed is backtick hell:
while IFS= read -r line
do
  sed -n 's/^\(\([^ ]\{0,2\}\)\|[^ ]*\([^ ]\{2,2\}\)\)\('"$line"'\)[^ ]*[ ]*\( [^ ]*\).*$/\4 \2\3 \5/p' $namePBM
done

That is:

*

*-n don't print non-matching lines

*'s substitute with everything escaped

*/ capture pattern:

*(\([^ ]\{0,2\}\)\|[^ ]*\([^ ]\{2,2\}\)\)   up to 2 characters in the first word, or any characters plus the 2 we want

*\('"$line"'\)   Unescape and capture the phrase we want

*[^ ]*   discard the rest of that word

*[ ]*    discard any extra spaces until the next word

*( [^ ]*) capture the space before and the second word completely

*.*$      discard until the end of the line

*/\4 \2\3 \5  replace with: the test phrase, up to 2 characters or exactly 2 characters before, the second word

*/p'  print it (because of -n)

Oh, and you can use \S instead of [^ ] and \s instead of [ ]!
Another way would be to build up all the words we want into one variable and then sed just once, but this would unduplicate any lines that contain 2 or more of the patterns:
Building the string I leave as an exercise, but to show it works:
lines="CGTGGGAA""\|""TGTGGGAA""\|""CGTGAGAA"
sed -n 's/^\(\([^ ]\{0,2\}\)\|[^ ]*\([^ ]\{2,2\}\)\)\('"$lines"'\)[^ ]*[ ]*\( [^ ]*\).*$/\4 \2\3 \5/p' $namePBM


Tunxis Community College in Farmington recently hosted the Engineering Technology Challenge for 32 high school students from New Britain and Hartford.
Offered through the College of Technology's Regional Center for Next Generation Manufacturing (RCNGM), the program ran over the course of six Saturdays this spring with the intent of fostering interest in careers in engineering and technology, and helping students experience what it's like to attend college.
Students were challenged to design components and build a car that would travel fast and straight, which they raced down a hall during their last session at Tunxis. The exercise was created to reinforce the process of design, build, test and redesign.
The high school juniors and seniors were immersed in many hands-on activities that integrated professional skills, manufacturing, CAD design, 3-D printing, technical writing, and math, taught by several CT Community College faculty. During the sessions they modified Kelvin fuel cell car kits to create aerodynamic cars incorporating their own design principles, which they raced at the end of the program.
They had assignments with deadlines, and received stipends which were connected to their participation, attendance and other factors to help connect the experience to career-level work.
In its third year, the Engineering Technology Challenge program is funded through a National Science Foundation grant, and has been offered to several city high schools since its inception.
The Regional Center for Next Generation Manufacturing (RCNGM) is one of seven National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education Centers in the United States. The RCNGM is led by the College of Technology at Tunxis Community College, a consortium of all 12 CT Community Colleges and eight public and private universities that was formed through CT legislation in 1995 to establish seamless pathways in engineering and technology. Among its goals are to bring together educators and industry, and to be responsive to workforce needs in Connecticut. It also provides seamless career pathways for students to earn certificates, associate of science and bachelor of science degrees in engineering and technology disciplines, with no loss of credit upon transfer. For more information on the College of Technology, contact Karen Wosczyna-Birch Ed.D., at 860.723.0608, or kwosczyna-birch@commnet.edu.


HMRC have published a consultation on draft secondary legislation designed to extend collection through PAYE to all tax debts, as well as increasing the threshold for such collection to £3000.
The government has consulted twice on the principle of HMRC using the PAYE system to collect more tax debts ("coding out"), and exposed draft secondary legislation for comment alongside the Finance Bill 2009 clauses that introduced this measure. These consultations received broad support and HMRC are working towards implementing this measure from April 2012. In order to do that secondary legislation needs to be made to provide the necessary cover for HMRC to identify relevant debts to code out in Autumn 2011 and, secondly, to then begin collecting debt through the coding process in April 2012.
Increasing the coding out threshold will ensure more taxpayers' debts can be collected using this relatively cheap and less intrusive method. It also minimises the compliance burden on the taxpayer.

Dan Dibley of 95.7 The Game's Rise Guys Forced to Campaign for JaMarcus Russell
By James Arcellana Oct 6, 2011, 1:01pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Dan Dibley of 95.7 The Game's Rise Guys Forced to Campaign for JaMarcus Russell
Every week, the morning show on 95.7 The Game, known as the Rise guys, does a competition between the three hosts where they pick winners for that week's slate of NFL games. However, unlike a regular contest where the winner gets something, on the Rise Guys, the loser is forced to endure an embarrassing punishment for finishing last.
In this week's edition of "Punishing Picks" as they call it, Dan Dibley, a guy who has been affiliated with Bay Area sports talk for years now, was the loser. Dibley, who is a Raiders fan at heart, was forced to do something that any self respecting Raiders fan would be humiliated by. Check out what the guys made Dibley do earlier this week after the jump (link to video included).
Since Dibley had the worst record after this week's Punishing Picks, Mark Kreidler and Whitey Gleason decided to make Dibley take it to the streets in a segment they referred to as "JaMarket". Dibley was forced to wear a JaMarcus Russell Jersey (you know, the infamous number 2 thatTerrelle Pryor was prohibited from wearing as a new Raider quarterback) and carry a sign that read "Bring JaMarcus Back".
Dibley, who never does anything at half speed, really took the punishment to heart and preached for the return of JaMarcus on Market street with the same vigor as the guy who routinely yells at me for being a godless heathen when I walk down Market street. Check out their facebook page to see some pretty entertaining video of Dibs at work.

Compensation Disparity Riles Victims of 1998 US Embassy Bombings
2020-09-16 ITaf
Doreen Oport was on a tea break when she heard the blast. A 15-year employee of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi in 1998, she said she wasn't fazed by the sound at first. She thought it was a tire bursting on a busy street. Moments later she felt the unmistakable force of a detonation nearby. She would later learn that the first sound was a grenade, thrown at guards outside of the embassy. The second sound was a truck laden with explosives. "We all fell down, the embassy was in pitch darkness," Oport told VOA. "And we were pinned down on the debris of the embassy floor, with the bricks or whatever came from the roof and metal bars and we were pinned down there for hours. And then we started hearing some sounds like people were running and people were crying." The near-simultaneous attacks against U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania on August 7, 1998, killed 224 people and injured more than 5,000. They were orchestrated by Osama bin Laden and executed by al-Qaida operatives, mostly harbored in Sudan. FILE – Doreen Oport, who was injured in the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi in 1998, stands outside the U.S. Supreme Court after oral arguments in Washington, Feb. 24, 2020."I think it's unfair when they want to make us feel of a lesser value than Americans," Oport said. "It basically sets a value of human lives, both American and Kenyan… when basically, if it was not for Foreign Service Nationals doing the work, then these embassies or consulates would not stand. The work continues. Human lives should not have a value of who gets what and who doesn't get what. We are all the same." Sudan seeking normal relations The fund is part of an agreement between the U.S. and Sudan. It follows a May U.S. Supreme Court ruling finding Sudan liable for the attacks because its government harbored al-Qaida militants and allowed them to transport money and weapons across the border to Kenya. Sudan is seeking to normalize relations with the U.S. following the ouster of longtime leader Omar al-Bashir, and victims' compensation is a key part of the normalization process. What Are Sudan's Prospects for Removal From US Terrorism List?Sudan was added to the US list of state sponsors of terrorism in 1993 over charges by Washington that then-President Omar al-Bashir's Islamist government was supporting terrorismThe State Department says it has pushed hard for compensation for foreign victims, breaking from past precedent. "This has been a high priority for the U.S. government, given that these foreign nationals were our employees and contractors," a State Department spokesperson said in an email to VOA. "Sudan's commitment to provide meaningful compensation for non-U.S. nationals is of an unprecedented nature."
"While non-U.S. national victims would not receive the same levels of compensation, the substantial amount of compensation committed by Sudan demonstrates a good-faith effort on the part of Sudan to address their losses," the State Department said. Michael Miller, the co-lead attorney representing nearly 600 people in a lawsuit against Sudan, said the State Department is not treating his clients equally. In May, the U.S. Supreme Court validated a judgment against Sudan on behalf of victims worth billions of dollars. Now, Miller said, the State Department is seeking to override this judgment with a diplomatic agreement that would let Sudan off the hook for far less. "We were shocked frankly when the Supreme Court affirmed our judgment and the Trump Administration agreed with us only to find the State Department to say 'no, your East African clients are not worth as much,'" Miller told VOA. There is an effort underway to have Congress approve the State Department deal and grant Sudan immunity from further claims. More recently, victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the U.S. and their families have joined the chorus, urging Congress to reject the agreement, saying it does not include compensation for all victims of al-Qaida's attacks, which also include the 2000 attack on the USS Cole that killed 17 people.
Miller said members of Congress on both sides of the aisle have expressed hesitancy about the State Department agreement. "The notion that the State Department could unilaterally shove this down our throats. It's not acceptable," Miller said.
He believes Sudan needs to abide by the terms of the punitive damages awarded to his clients in May or negotiate a settlement. "They need to settle with us or they need to pay us the full judgment," Miller said. Although Oport considers herself lucky to have survived the attack, she has suffered. She had foreign objects lodged in her body, burns on her scalp, an injured back, difficulty eating for years and psychological trauma. FILE – An injured man is removed from the wreckage after an explosion near the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi on Aug. 7, 1998.Transported to a hospital, it wasn't until much later that she heard that many of her colleagues died because they had rushed to the windows after the first blast instead of laying on the floor to protect themselves. They were not prepared for terrorism. "Kenya was a very peaceful country and nobody ever thought that there would be a terrorist or a bomb attack in the country," she said. "We were never trained or taught that, 'if something like this happens, this is what you do.'" VOA diplomatic correspondent Cindy Saine contributed to this report.

Measuring poverty is difficult. At the moment it involves conducting household surveys in faraway places. While these surveys are detailed, they are also slow, expensive and have limited coverage. There may be a better way.
This project, with Brock Smith and Thomas McGregor, proposes a new way to measure rural poverty: by using satellites to count the number of people who live in darkness at night. This is intuitive: households will turn on the lights soon after they leave extreme poverty because of the huge returns to a longer working day. It is also fast, cheap, accurate, and covers the entire world at up to 1km2 resolution, making it well-suited to comparing poverty across space and time.
We hope this measure will be useful. Aid agencies may find it helpful for allocating aid and targeting interventions. Researchers may use it to study poverty, making use of its high level of geographic detail and global coverage at regular intervals (the dataset is a globally balanced panel).
Below are some examples of rural poverty maps that can be generated using the data. For bespoke maps or any questions please get in contact.
*Maps show (in red) the population density (population/km2) living in darkness at night. Images created by Thomas McGregor.

Emotional Expectations: Could your Pup be a Therapy Dog?
Therapy dogs can be a blessing for people of all ages who are in need. If you're wondering if your dog might be qualified for therapy work, there is likely no doubt that as a team you two can be of service.
It takes more than just a warm smile and a well-behaved dog to do therapy work. Your pup may appear to be perfectly qualified, but therapy dogs must be able to deal with stressful and unpredictable situations for an extended period. Your dog also may be perfect as a therapy dog, at a later stage in life.
The best way to describe the demeanor of a well-qualified therapy dog is balanced. Not too hot, and not too cold. Therapy dogs must be able to handle a wide-ranging world of emotions and actions, from little kids who want to hug as hard as they can, to senior citizens who need gentle comforting. A therapy dog must handle the highs of the happy faces, to the lows of someone who may react abruptly in a negative fashion.
Let's start with what exactly a therapy dog is, and what one does on a day-to-day basis. Therapy dogs go to nursing homes, schools, and hospitals to do what they do best: put smiles on faces.
A therapy dog is versatile. The best are playful and people lovers who obey their handlers on command and don't mind strangers putting their hands and body all over them.
It's also important to note that therapy dogs are not service dogs. A service dog has been trained to assist in one specific manner, and their job is to take care of their human companion. A therapy dog works in conjunction with his handler to spread happiness, relieve stress, and bring comfort to others in need.
What Dogs Can Be Therapy Dogs?
Any mix or breed of dog can be a therapy dog. Whether or not your pup should become a therapy dog depends on a variety of questions that you must answer for both yourself and your dog.
Dog therapy is not a one-way street where you walk in for a therapy session, and your dog does everything. Therapy with dogs is a collaborative effort that requires your time, patience and passion for the work.
The first box to check in evaluating therapy-worthiness is, does your dog have impeccable manners?
If the answer to that is, "sometimes" then, your pooch might not be ready for therapy work.
Dogs that get overly excited when they greet new people will not be suited for therapy. The last thing you want is to leave the hospital with an injured patient because your dog knocked them over.
Therapy dogs have to be cool under pressure at all times, from vice-lock hugs given by a gaggling of children to a sharp pinch on the ear from an elderly patient. When the unexpected happens, your dog needs to brush it off like it was nothing.
Therapy dogs are people lovers first and foremost. A therapy dog sees a human and thinks "another friend!" The best therapy dogs will never get bored with the next human that wants to come up to them, either with love, or with hysterics.
Does your dog enjoy meeting strangers?
Is your dog calm when meeting new people?
Will your dog obey your commands on cue?
Is your dog OK with being touched anywhere on their body by new people?
Will your dog ignore other dogs and focus on the therapy?
If the answer to all those questions was yes, then read on.
Will My Dog Enjoy Therapy?
If your dog is friendly, well-mannered and well-trained and you're still reading this, it's likely you two would make a good therapy team. You know your dog best though, so make sure that your dog's personality lends itself to enjoying these trips.
Therapy dogs are one half of a team. No matter how perfect your dog may be for therapy, don't forget that you are an integral part of the equation. Your passion for going on therapy visits is essential to handling your dog and giving those you visit the best possible experience.
If everything comes together and you think both you and your dog are well-suited to therapy work, the world is about to become a happier place.
The work you can do with your therapy dog is limitless, and so are the smiles you can put on people of all ages. Therapy work with your dog will be an incredibly rewarding experience for you, for those you visit, and for your dog. That's what you call a win-win-win, and it doesn't get much better than that. It takes a special dog and a dedicated handler to become a therapy team, but when it comes together the world becomes a better place.
To start the training and certification process for becoming a therapy dog and handler team, here's a list of AKC recognized therapy dog organizations.
Dogs thrive on being a working member of their pack. Make basic obedience your dog's job and both you and your dog will be happier for it.

ASU student explores how parents in multi-racial families communicate about race

It's First Friday at the Children's Museum in Phoenix, Arizona. Amid the kids exploring giant bubbles, a kiddie car wash, and a paint maze, there is an 8x4 folding table with a red tablecloth draped over it. Behind the table sits the smiling face of Annabelle Atkin, a doctoral student at the T. Denny Sanford School of Social and Family Dynamics at Arizona State University. An assortment of children's books featuring characters with diverse racial backgrounds is spread before her. To her right is a colorful poster describing her multiracial families project.
Atkin is working on recruiting multi-racial families for her research. She is exploring how parents of multi-racial families communicate with their children about race, as well as the effects those conversations have on their children's racial identity and development. Her excitement and interest in this topic shines through when she talks about the families she's met so far.
"I think [this project] alone is sparking conversations between parents and their kids when they might not normally think to bring it up," she said.
Atkin knows firsthand about growing up in a multi-racial family. She was raised in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, the daughter of an Asian mother and white father. At the age of 14, she moved to Storrs, Connecticut and later attended the University of Connecticut, where she received her bachelor's degree in psychology and Asian American Studies. Atkin is currently pursuing her doctorate in family and human development at ASU.
A family visits Atkin's table.
As the evening comes to an end a young family approaches the table, the parents shining with excitement. "Hey, that's you! You're multiracial." They seem excited to see children's books that represent their family. They begin speaking with Atkin about her project and ask how they can become involved. These are the types of connections Atkin was hoping to make when she set up her table that day.
Atkin is still looking to recruit multiracial families with children of all ages. If you are the parent of multiracial children or if you're interested in learning more, you can contact Atkin at alatkin@asu.edu or visit the Facebook page: "Multiracial Families Project."


English French translation we are required more often intended for the growing African markets: in fact, although it's called French, this language is mainly used in Africa, where we can find the greatest number of French speakers. French is spoken in 25 out of 54 African countries: in most cases it is a language used in working, economic and cultural contexts by people who retain local languages, especially Arabic, which mix with French.
The main aspect that must be clarified when commissioning English-French translations is the reference market, since linguistic variations can be very significant. The Foreign Friend has always paid great attention to this aspect, through an important recruitment campaign of mother tongue translators who reside in the main Africa's economic centers, in order to guarantee translations adapted to the reference socio-economic and cultural context.
Obviously, we don't ignore the other areas where this beautiful Romance language is spoken. French has reached a great diplomatic (it is the official language of the United Nations and the European Union) and intellectual (think about the enormous French literary production of the last centuries) prestige, not to mention the popularity of French fashion and cosmetic industry, of which it can be defined the official language.
Even it is just the 15th most spoken mother language, French is one of the most widespread Romance languages, with 75 million native speakers all over the world: besides France, it is the official language of 30 countries, such as Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, Monaco, many islands of the Caribbean (like Haiti) and the Indian Ocean (like Seychelles and Mauritius) and some African countries (like Senegal, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Algeria and Morocco). Overall, it is estimates that French is spoken in 53 countries: it's a record!
French is the second most studied foreign language in the United States; in addition, it is widely spoken in some countries, such as Vermont, Maine and Louisiana.
On the Internet French gains better results: thanks to its 98 million users (about 3% of the global users), French is the 9th most used language online.
French is a Romance language of the Indo-European family. Written French uses the Roman alphabet, composed of 26 letters. Accents play a crucial role: the use of an accent instead of another one is not just a grammar mistake, but it may even change the meaning of a word.
Other hallmarks of French phonetics are the nasal vowels and the uvular r – the typical "rolled R", used by those who want to take on the role of the French native speaker!

Connor Dwyer Country chameleon Chris Janson is returning to one of his favorite cities when he plays the Paramount Theatre on Saturday night. "It's always a special show in Cedar Rapids because of the fans there and how I feel when I play that city," he said.
Chris Janson isn't afraid of YouTube.
A number of recording artists won't preview unreleased songs, since fans will post the fresh cuts on the internet. However, the fiery Missouri native doesn't care about that.
It takes considerable courage to be a singer/songwriter.
Janson, 32, received his first break as songwriter when he co-wrote the smash "Truck Yeah" for Tim McGraw, which charted in 2012.
It's not surprising that he hoped to make an impact as a recording artist, since he is a gifted multi-instrumentalist. Janson hit the country charts in 2013 with "Better I Don't," co-written with his wife, Kelly Roland. Janson laughed when asked how he felt the first time he heard his song on the radio.
Janson is an eclectic recording artist. He can hit with straight country, rockers and ballads. He pens songs from the view of a father ("Bein' a Dad"), a carouser ("Power of Positive Drinkin'") and a guy taking the high road ("Drunk Girl").
Janson added some drum loops to the production of his most recent album, 2017's "Everybody." However, he failed to join some of his country peers who have included hip-hop and R&B to their songs.
Janson claims that any city in Iowa is his favorite place to perform.
Expect a batch of fresh material when Janson plays the Paramount Theatre, but he's uncertain what else he'll deliver.
Since he enjoyed some success with the title cut from his debut album, "Buy Me a Boat," did he ever purchase a boat?


Last two months of my otherwise "routine" life have witnessed scores of "special" moments!
Moments when the pride of the degree being conferred on "us" overwhelmed me!
Moments when the meaning of "life" itself changed forever!
Moments when wonder seemed like a weak word to describe the picture portrayed by the power of falling waters !
Moments when the abundance of glamor, beauty, lights, and grandeur hid the unrealities within that world!


Recently, I was told about a flaw of mine that I was not aware of.
I get really excited about ideas that I will help start and kick them off, but then I run away and go after the next idea leaving everyone in the wake to get that job done.
I've basically crushed everyone around me.
They're working crazy hours and they're getting burnt out based on my behavior.
I would not have known that this was a flaw of mine, unless someone brought it to my attention.
That is why, it's important to give feedback.
Feedback gives us a sense of purpose.
Feedback prevents us from getting discouraged.
When looking at someone else, you can see 100% of them. Parts of their personality that are plainly obvious to you and everyone else around you; Except, that individual has no idea.
In comparison, when you look at yourself, you can only see about 80%.
The other 20% you need a mirror to see.
The same is true about personality.
At first, giving and receiving feedback may be extremely painful.
Overtime, there's this wonderful stage that starts to happen where everyone around you, including yourself, are willing to joke and have honest and open dialogue about it and it's not painful anymore.
And, that's a wonderful, magical place to be.

"Go and do likewise": The command that counters the bystander effect
Rev Dr William Wan // July 28, 2019, 9:10 pm
Photo by Peter Hershey on Unsplash.
"Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act." (Proverbs 3:27)
The heart-wrenching story of the two-year-old, Wang Yue, who died in a Guangzhou hospital on Oct 21, 2011, prompted much bitter soul-searching in China.
The toddler had wandered onto the street at a market in Foshan, Guangdong, on October 13, 2011. She was knocked down by a van, whose driver paused and proceeded to run over her the second time. The hit-and-run incident took place at about 5pm and was captured by a close-circuit television camera.
It went viral around the world within minutes.
Eighteen bystanders
What the world saw was shocking: Three people walked past her without lifting a finger to help as she lay there on the road in a pool of blood. Two of them noticing her plight deliberately looked away. Soon after, a truck drove over her once again!
All told, 18 people walked or cycled by her before an old lady who was a scrap collector scooped her up and desperately cried for help.
Each of the 18 people who walked away and did nothing for the poor, dying girl, had an excuse.
Little Wang Yue struggled for her life in the hospital for just over a week before she died of brain failure. Some netizens proposed to name October 21 "Little Yue Yue Day" as a memorial to her so that China will not forget the shame of the tragedy where morality was cast to the winds.
Wang Yang, a high-ranking officer of the Chinese Communist Party, was reported in Xinhua News as saying: "We should look into the ugliness in ourselves with a dagger of conscience and bite the soul-searching bullet."
Tracked down and interviewed by the domestic media, each of the 18 who walked away and did nothing for the poor, dying girl, had an excuse. Some claimed not to have seen her, though the camera revealed otherwise. Some were too frightened while others just did not want to get involved.
A modern replay of a parable
Psychologist Wendy Walsh, commenting on CNN, said: "This is the sort of classic bystander effect, where people have diffusion of responsibility."
The tragic incident reminds me of the good Samaritan story in Luke 10:25-37.
Mercy is not about handing out just desserts; it is about grace. That is the crux of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our Lord Jesus told the story of the unknown man (we assume him to be a Jew) who was attacked by robbers on a highway and left to die. A priest and a Levite, both righteous people who should have known better, passed him by without lifting a finger to help. No doubt, if asked, they too would have had lots of excuses to offer.
But a Samaritan, who was despised by the Jews, stopped to help because "he took pity on him" (Luke 10:33). He gave him first aid, took him to an inn, and left enough money for the innkeeper to take care of him. He even told the innkeeper that if that was not enough, he would reimburse him when he returned.
The Lord Jesus then asked his listeners which one was acting as a neighbour to the victim. They said it was the one who had mercy on him. Jesus then told them to "go and do likewise".
Mapping scenarios
I wonder what we would have done if we were among those who saw Wang Yue on that fateful day. Would we have stopped to help?
Proverbs exhorts us not to withhold good from those who deserve it when we have the power to act (Proverbs 3:27).
The result of our neglect may not cause physical deaths, but the consequences of our indifference are no less serious.
In the case of the Good Samaritan, the Lord went further than that. From the Samaritan's perspective, the fallen Jew could not have deserved any favour since Jews despised Samaritans in every way.
But mercy is not about handing out just desserts; it is about grace. It is about going out of the way to help anyone in need. That is the crux of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Returning to the "bystander effect" of Wendy Walsh, I am wondering if we in the church often suffer from this effect. Often, people are "run over" by uncaring leadership or indifferent attitudes in church, so to speak, and we know that it is just not right for such a thing to happen.
But we remain "bystanders" because we claim that we did not see, or we are too frightened, or we just do not want to get involved. Maybe the problem is we do not care enough? If we do, and we are obedient to the Lord, we cannot hide behind such excuses.
Though the result of our neglect may not cause physical deaths, the consequences of our indifference are no less serious.
This was first published in the book More Pastoral Reflections by William Wan and is republished with permission.
Reflection and Discussion
What effect do you think indifference has on the Christian?
"Mercy is not about handing out just desserts; it is about grace." Is the opposite of mercy injustice? Or indifference?
Spend some time reading and reflecting on Luke 10:25-37. Do you recall a recent incident where you might have been the kind of passerby in the parable – whether the priest, the Levite or the Samaritan? How would you do anything differently if the same scenario presented itself today?

CFL's newest coaching rule is needlessly restrictive
"Let the bears pay the bear tax. I pay the Homer tax."
That line from The Simpsons is what popped into my head when I first read Dave Naylor's piece regarding the CFL having not just a hiring, but a communication, embargo on teams conducting coaching searches.
The CFL coaching carousel used to be anything goes, then Chris Jones jumped from Edmonton to Saskatchewan just after winning a Grey Cup with the green and gold, which brought about the whole Jason Maas kerfuffle and the league set out rules on how coaches could move from one team to another.
That probably should have been the end of it, but three years later we have the CFL releasing its latest edict on coaching moves and it is so Draconian that it makes the NFL look reasonable by comparison.
From now until 48 hours after the Grey Cup teams are not permitted to speak to anyone currently employed by any other team in the CFL about their coaching vacancy, meaning the B.C. Lions and Toronto Argonauts cannot legally go about their respective coaching searches for almost two weeks.
Part of the reason, I think, is that the CFL does not want breaking news on a new head man in B.C. or Toronto to take attention away from the Grey Cup. They want the focus solely on the big game, and the Lions or Argos filling the openings left by the retirement of Wally Buono and the firing of Marc Trestman, respectively, could take some attention away from the game and the two teams playing in it.
But is the momentary lack of talk about the Grey Cup really enough to put forth a rule that even the very image conscious NFL hasn't implemented?
Last year around Super Bowl time we all knew that the New England Patriots, the most tight-lipped and focused organization in the NFL, were going to be losing both of their coordinators once their season was over. Defensive coordinator Matt Patricia and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels had agreed to become the head coaches of the Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts, respectively. We knew this in the lead up to a Super Bowl that the Patriots were playing in. But did the NFL try to make a rule to stop this from happening? No, they figured any talk about the league is good and while they have rules in place from when teams looking for a coach can contact coaches still in the playoffs, they generally do not care if some focus is taken away from the Super Bowl because of another league matter. The hiring of a coach is big news and brings chatter with it. If it takes away from a bit of big-game hype, the NFL sees that as the cost of doing business. Besides, the Super Bowl (and Grey Cup) sell themselves; losing a few hours of coverage to another league matter would hardly damage anything.
But here we are, just over a week away from the biggest game in Canadian football and the league is so scared that something else big might happen that they impose this ridiculous rule that helps no one and might, in fact, actually hinder the two teams in two of the markets that need the most help (and could use the hype bump that comes with the announcement of a new head coach during a time when the most eyeballs will be on the league).
But this is the type of backwards thinking I've come to expect from the CFL in recent years. Whenever they have a chance to do the right thing — which in this case was to literally do nothing — they instead find a way to muck it up.
Want to make a rule that teams can't contact coaches from teams still in the playoffs? OK, fine, it's silly but I can see some logic in that. It's that extra step, the step that says teams can't even talk to coaches from teams not in the playoffs where this new rule goes from silly to downright stupid.
The bear tax on The Simpsons was put into place because one time a bear wandered into Springfield and people freaked out, so they created a bear patrol. That patrol cost money, so they instituted the bear tax. The tax, much like this new rule, was an extreme measure to a rare circumstance that was made into a bigger deal than it really was.
One day the CFL will get something right again, but today is not that day. Instead, teams are left to pay the bear tax.

Chris – The Hipster
Name: Chris Murphy
Plays: Mostly bass and vocal but also everything else especially drums.
Beatle: Paul
Style: Obscure British imports of the 70s and 80s
Mood: Playful
A hipster 20 years before such a thing existed Chris is the voice of the band, the one speaking in interviews and the one gifted with self promotion and humour, when people think of Sloan it's Chris' face they see. I suspect that during tougher times it was Chris whose stubbornness kept the band together.
Despite Patrick being the one taking more of the lead vocals it's definately Chris that people consider the boss, he's the one talking on stage during shows, handling the inter song banter and amusing the fans.
While the Seattle grunge music explosion was happening in Seattle in 1991 there was a mirror movement happening in Canada, in Halifax, a dozen bands burst out of the tiny East coast city at the same time, led by Chris and Sloan.
Autobiography – "I'm writing 'young and gifted' in my autobiography, I figure who'd know better than me" is the most Chris lyric ever. The song is filled with his trademark wordplay, puns within puns within puns, a lovely, catchy, cool tune. The slightly tuneless la-la-la's is also classic Chris.
Underwhelmed – THE Sloan song, their first single, the CBC recently picked Underwhelmed as the 4th most important Canadian single in history. Shows close wtih this one most of the time. So fucking catchy. That guitar fuzz, the blended voices, this song INVENTED the word "underwhelmed", not kidding, it was basically unknown before 1991. They sound so confident here, just kids. More wordplay, more jokes, more uber hip cool. Man the way Chris and Patrick blend their voices….
The Other Man – I love a song that takes an unusual viewpoint, I can't think of many other's sung from the point of view of the guy she's cheating on you with. The character is selfish and not backing down and wants the girl, it's honest. Love the groove on this, Chris' plucked bass always sounds so sharp in the mix. Lyrics are gorgeous too. I usually hate bridges, as you know, THIS is how you do them though. "I know that he's a standup guy but that's none of my concern, we've all been in one situation or another, it's my turn" ice cold man.
Shadow of Love – Yay! That bass! So rocking, so rollicking! So cool! This is a new one by them but really I think Chris still sounds pretty much the same, what a ripping track.
The Rest of My Life – Another huge crowd favourite, always makes me think of you, you'll know why, one line.
