That moment between piecing and quilting is sometimes just that— a moment— but sometimes it is days, weeks, or months because it's challenging to know HOW to quilt your beautiful top. Or, even before knowing how, knowing how to get started making a plan. Join me for a quick introduction to making quilting plans.
If you've been around here (around String & Story, that is) for more than a hot second, you know that I'm passionate about guiding you to quilt and live with confidence. There's a whole lot wrapped up in that one little sentence, but today we're starting with something foundational: You can't quilt with confidence if you don't know what you're supposed to be quilting. That's why I'm a huge fan of a quilting plan (and bad rhymes LOL).
To watch/ listen to me talk through this topic and answer some Q & A, click here.
What is a quilting plan?
Simple— it's taking the time to draw on paper what you will quilt on your quilt. If you make all decisions before your needle ever touches your fabric, then you can spend the actual quilting time focusing on execution and enjoyment, not deciding what comes next (note on my drawing above that there are several different options sketched out so I can see how they work, then I'll choose my favorite before quilting). The best part is that if you draw something on paper, and you realize you don't like it so much after all, then you simple get a new sheet of paper, or turn the page in your notebook and try again. If you jump straight into quilting and something doesn't look as good as you hoped it would, then it's a much bigger pain to rip out and try again.
In order to choose motifs to quilt, you have to know some motifs, so I actually recommend you start by learning some basics of free motion quilting. You can get surprising variety with just the four motifs from my Intro to Free Motion Quilting class, but I highly recommend the 10 motif Beginner Free Motion Quilting class because it gives you 1) so much more variety 2) the skills to learn just about any other motif you see "in the wild" and want to emulate. Think of the designs you've practiced and feel reasonably comfortable quilting as your "toolbox" having a good variety of "tools" gives you creative options.
As far as timeline, sometimes I start thinking about the quilting while I'm still piecing. If no inspiration has struck by the time the top is done, I might slap it up on the design wall or drape it over the longarm for a couple of days to see if it "speaks" to me. Sometimes I'll just start to see one motif in one area of the quilt— so I'll pull out my notebook, sketch the quilt top, and add that motif. From there, I can play and figure out the other pieces. By the time I'm pretty sure about what I want to quilt where, I'm eager to get started on the quilting process, and I try to tackle it quickly while the ideas still have lots of energy.
Y'all know I have a strong affinity for various types of custom quilting, so I tend to describe quilting that way, but there are actually several factors to consider as you are deciding on the level of customization, exactly what motifs to use, etc.
Purpose- What is this quilt's job? Will it go on your bed? Get turned into forts and magic carpets by a kid? Hang on a wall? Go in a show? Go camping? Get puked on? If your gorgeous quilt is meant for a life of real living and loving, the extra time and energy that go into custom quilting may not be your thing— an all over motif or some simple semi-custom options might be the way to go. On the other hand, I find that quilts meant for living make awesome practice pieces because if I mess up, well, it'll probably get puked on anyway. (my apologies for the potty talk— just trying to offer both perspective and levity in the same example).
Process- How will you be quilting your masterpiece and how much do you enjoy the process? If you love, love, love, the process of quilting, then go for it, Rockstar! Custom work always takes a lot of time, but it takes longer on a domestic, so be sure to factor that in. Also, if you're only lukewarm on the process, consider keeping your plan simpler so you can enjoy the process and the result AND see the quilting all the way through to a finished product. If, however, you're going to be quilting on your home machine, you don't particularly enjoy the quilting process, and you want custom quilting, then, either you'll resign yourself to embracing the process even if it's not your favorite, or it's time to find a longarmer (Oh hey there! Email me at stringandstory(at)gmail(dot)com).
Product- Think about how you want the finished product to look. Is the piecing very geometric? You might consider more floral motifs (swirls, paisleys, feathers, etc) for your quilting (note this on the red and pink quilt above— my friend Paige pieced this quilt and I loved her bold, graphical design. I chose just 4 motifs to quilt it with that add a LOT of texture, but don't take away from the visual "punch"). Did you spend 4849574 hours on the piecing, and you want to make sure that shows? Then you'll probably opt for VERY simple quilting or VERY custom quilting. Do you have a one block quilt? Then designing something custom to the block but that is easily repeatable is a cool way to add an achievable but very special touch to the quilt.
The bottom line that I want to communicate is that the vast majority of custom quilting is not as complicated as it looks. It is, however, the result of practice and planning. It's easy to get paralyzed by the thought of, "I won't know what to quilt next or where to go next on the top," but that's why I want you to take the time to make all those decisions on paper before you quilt. FYI: While I'm very excited when I finish a quilting plan, it's often the next day before I actually start quilting because making all the decisions of a quilting plan can be very tiring. But remember: challenging and unattainable are two different things. And you, Rockstar, are definitely up for a challenge!

CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), epsilon, also known as CEBPE and CRP1, is a type of ccaat-enhancer-binding protein. CEBPE is its human gene and is pro-apoptotic.

The protein encoded by this gene is a bZIP transcription factor which can bind as a homodimer to certain DNA regulatory regions. It can also form heterodimers with the related protein CEBP-δ. The encoded protein may be essential for terminal differentiation and functional maturation of committed granulocyte progenitor cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with specific granule deficiency, a rare congenital disorder. Multiple variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of only one has been determined.

Renovation of this 90 year old building including exterior improvements as well as significant renovations to the ballroom, dining room, pro shop, women's and men's locker rooms and entry. The project required coordination with every department of an occupied golf club while providing high-quality finishes, all within a compressed construction schedule. The project duration spanned eight months in two phases with Building Services and Operations only shut down for one week during the annual facility closure.
Founded in 1951, this private country club situated in West Houston boasts over 200 acres and 1,000 members. The now modernized space hosts an array of events for weddings, charitable fundraising efforts and sporting tournaments.


Situated in Brighton-Le-Sands with views over Botany Bay, the project sits behind large pine trees on Gordon Street.
The building is formed from simple geometry, with articulated corners, deep balconies and an angulated plan, this serves to break-down the apparent mass of the elevation.
The project embraces its coastal environment with both private and shared gardens at ground level, and large balconies which facilitate the apartments on the levels above. Foliage, trees and screens create soft thresholds throughout the site, fashioning outdoor rooms with privacy and shade.
Duel aspect open plan areas flood the apartments with ample natural sunlight and enable cross ventilation. Deep balconies protect the living areas from excess heat gain during the summer alongside large amounts of thermal mass from concrete structure, ensuring thermal comfort.
A robust material pallet of chillingham white brick, concrete block with an em smooth porceline finish and timber detailing create a natural colour scheme sympathetic to the local environment.
The simple palette of naturally finished durable materials ensures the project is low maintenance and suited to the coastal environment.

Workday Podcast: How the Best Stay on Top in Professional Services
With fierce competition, it's tough for any business to get to the top and stay there. Industry analyst Jeanne Urich explains how the most successful professional and business services firms do it.
Workday Staff Writers February 11, 2020
All companies want to excel, but what steps can you take to be the best? In the competitive world of professional services, figuring this out is more important than ever. Mark David, senior director of industry strategy at Workday, recently spoke with Jeanne Urich, managing director of Service Performance Insight, about how the best firms reach the top and stay there.
SPI Research is a global research and consulting organization focused on the professional services industry. Based on her extensive research from her firm's annual benchmark survey, Urich shared her insights about the technology and process changes professional services firms are embracing to make the biggest impact on their business.

Below you'll find a few highlights from the conversation, edited for clarity. You can find our other Workday Podcasts here.
"If you don't have a handle on what your attrition is for your organization or your billable utilization, I would recommend that you start tracking those two things. As you might imagine, attrition in a people-based, highly skilled industry like professional services is on the rise. There's just more demand than there are people with the skills to fill those jobs. Over the past five years, we've seen attrition, both involuntary and voluntary, tick up. This stands at 13.9% on average now, but we have many clients that are experiencing over 30% attrition. If you're experiencing that kind of attrition, it's almost impossible to deliver with quality or to make any money, because it's so expensive, and it takes so long to replace valuable workers."
"We recently published our first ever human capital management end user survey, which gave us some pretty startling statistics about the impact of HCM applications on a people-based business. With organizations that did not use human capital management, it took a whopping 160 days--more than half a year-- to find, recruit, and ramp a new consultant. Then when they implemented HCM, they were able to cut that time from 160 days down to 112 days."
"I think that the finance and operations function within a service organization should really be leading the business. The best organizations do much more modeling around capacity planning. They're looking at sales flow through models. They're trying to do a much better job of resource sizing. They've got a pulse on the type of projects that are really profitable, and deliver a lot of value for clients."

U.S. Sanctions Are Hitting Iran's Regime Hard – Former European Lawmaker
Two days after the Iranian regime's President Hassan Rouhani vowed to limit cooperation per the terms of the international nuclear deal, former European lawmaker Struan Stevenson argues U.S. sanctions are hurting Iran's tyrannical regime.
In an op-ed for United Press International on May 10, Stevenson points out: "Despite the Iranian president's previous assurance that his country was "immunized against U.S. sanctions," the plummeting economy and the collapse of the rial, the Iranian currency, combined with the nationwide protests by striking workers that have continued for the past 16 months, are a clear sign of a failed government that is now desperately searching for help."
"Secondly, the threat to resume enriching uranium exposes the truth behind Iran's nuclear program and shows clearly that it was never designed for peaceful purposes, but was always aimed at the production of nuclear weapons."
Stevenson adds that in 2002, "the National Council of Resistance in Iran, the main democratic opposition to the regime, revealed concrete intelligence that proved Iran was enriching uranium to a level compatible with the construction of nuclear weapons. It was also developing advanced missile delivery systems that could be used for this purpose. The revelation sent shock waves around the world."
Stevenson argues that the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA) was a flagrant act of appeasement by the Obama administration and European powers, lifting sanctions on the regime and releasing over $150 billion in frozen assets. Ludicrously, that deal even "agreed to a demand that military sites inside Iran would be exempted from routine inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency, despite intelligence that indicated much of the nuclear weapons and missile program was being developed in these top-secret military sites."
"The JCPOA provided a windfall for the theocratic dictatorship, whose biggest export is terror, enabling it to arm its foreign allies and proxies such as Bashar al-Assad in Syria, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, the brutal Shi'ia militias in Iraq and the terrorist Hezbollah in Lebanon."
Stevenson further writes:
Donald Trump decried the nuclear deal with Iran as "the worst deal ever" during his presidential campaign and vowed the United States would withdraw from it. As president, he fulfilled that election pledge, restored tough sanctions and last month even listed Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a foreign terrorist organization. The IRGC, which is the equivalent of the regime's Gestapo, controls most of the Iranian economy, so its blacklisting by the Americans makes it virtually impossible for Western businesses to trade with Iran.
But Rouhani's protests also lay bare the lies and duplicity of a regime that pleads for economic help while its embassies in Europe are used as bomb factories and cells for plotting assassinations and terror attacks on European soil. The arrest of Iranian agents in Europe who were planning assassinations and terror attacks on members of the Iranian opposition are evidence of this regime's malign intentions.
The diplomat, Assadollah Assadi, was a leading Ministry of Intelligence and Security agent, posing as a member of the diplomatic staff in the Iranian Embassy in Vienna. He allegedly handed over a bomb to three other Iranian agents with instructions that they should attack the NCRI rally taking place in Paris in June, attended by over 100,000 men, women and children. A similar bomb plot in Albania against the opposition, the People's Mojahedin of Iran (MEK/PMOI), was thwarted by the police and led to the expulsion of the Iranian ambassador and his first secretary from the Iranian Embassy in Tirana.
A regime that sends its diplomatic staff to kill and maim innocent civilians in Europe has removed itself from the norms of civilized behavior. Rouhani's protests should be treated with the scorn that they deserve. The United Kingdom, France and Germany should follow America's example — withdraw from the nuclear deal and impose tough sanctions on this rotten dictatorship, hastening its impending demise.
Struan Stevenson is the coordinator of the Campaign for Iran Change. He was a member of the European Parliament representing Scotland (1999-2014), president of the Parliament's Delegation for Relations with Iraq (2009-14) and chairman of the Friends of a Free Iran Intergroup (2004-14). He is an international lecturer on the Middle East and is also president of the European Iraqi Freedom Association.

I've had this dress from Moja for months but this is the first time I've worn it due to the weather. I actually thought I'd wear more as evening wear but today I felt a little grungy.
I have to be quite selective over my outerwear so opt for pieces that will work around my exsisting garments whilst still adding some spice. This one in particular has the pattern without the clash which makes it the showstopper, as well as complimenting the rest of the outfit.
It's casual outfit with sporty vibes thanks to the footwear and this colourful jacket..If you were taking this from day to night you could change for heels, lose the coat and add a bright red lip. Be creative !

Q: Proper JNI conversion getting array items from jobjectarray to seperate const char please pardon me as I'm kindof new to c++ jni environment
I am trying to passing a String[] array from java through JNI bridge to c++ while following tips I found here giving this snippet:
void MyJNIFunction(JNIEnv *env, jobject object, jobjectArray stringArray) {

    int stringCount = env->GetArrayLength(stringArray);

    for (int i=0; i<stringCount; i++) {
        jstring string = (jstring) (env->GetObjectArrayElement(stringArray, i));
        const char *rawString = env->GetStringUTFChars(string, 0);
        // Don't forget to call `ReleaseStringUTFChars` when you're done.
    }
}

I have tried this in a lot of ways within my code but I am still getting a "broken irreparably" error from logcat and my app stopping. Please take a look at my code and help. Thank you so much in advance.
My code:
JNIEXPORT void Java_ran_com_FirstActivity_Example(
        JNIEnv *javaEnvironment, jobject self, jobjectArray stringArray, jlongArray params) {
    // Convert the input jlong array to a regular int array.
    jlong *longParams = javaEnvironment->GetLongArrayElements(params, JNI_FALSE);
    int arr[6];
    for (int n = 0; n < 6; n++) arr[n] = longParams[n];
    javaEnvironment->ReleaseLongArrayElements(params, longParams, JNI_ABORT);

    int stringCount = javaEnvironment->GetArrayLength(stringArray);

    for (int i=0; i<stringCount; i++) {
        jstring string = (jstring) (javaEnvironment->GetObjectArrayElement(stringArray, 2));
        const char *rawString = javaEnvironment->GetStringUTFChars(string, 0);
        // a method I created
        example = new Example(rawString, arr);
        javaEnvironment->ReleaseStringUTFChars(string, rawString);
    }

}

A: int stringCount = javaEnvironment->GetArrayLength(stringArray);

for (int i=0; i<stringCount; i++) {
    jstring string = (jstring) (javaEnvironment->GetObjectArrayElement(stringArray, 2));

You may indeed intended to call the following line to enumerate through all strings in stringArray.
    jstring string = (jstring)(javaEnvironment->GetObjectArrayElement(stringArray, i);
    //i, not 2

A: Thank you so much timrau for giving me the confidence to look deeper into my "jni" code. I solved this issue finally by extracting the strings to chars before I passed them into the methods where I would be using them
JNIEXPORT void Java_ran_com_FirstActivity(JNIEnv *javaEnvironment, jobject self, jobjectArray stringArray) {

    int stringCount = javaEnvironment->GetArrayLength(stringArray);

    for (int i=0; i<stringCount; i++) {
            jstring string = (jstring) (javaEnvironment->GetObjectArrayElement(stringArray, 0));
            const char *rawString = javaEnvironment->GetStringUTFChars(string, JNI_FALSE);

            jstring istring = (jstring) (javaEnvironment->GetObjectArrayElement(stringArray, 1));
            const char *rawStringb = javaEnvironment->GetStringUTFChars(istring, JNI_FALSE);
            // I extracyed both string items to different chars before passing //to my methods...since jni only support passing two custom parameters
            example = new SuperpoweredExample(rawString, rawStringb);
            javaEnvironment->ReleaseStringUTFChars(string, rawString);
            javaEnvironment->ReleaseStringUTFChars(istring, rawStringb);
        }

}

Q: Flex lexer rule with positive lookahead assertion on alphanumeric strings containing hyphens and slashes I have a bit of trouble to build a flex lexer rule with a positive lookahead assertion for a certain type of token and could use some help. I am sure I am missing something simple here.
The token string I want to match looks like this:
33-abc-13/12
99-ab-33
o3sehh04/00
glu6-840d/00
vm-22hd
xyz-3

The token object to match is a string containing letters and digits and has slashes and/or hyphens, a rare cases a dot, possibly something like xx-3006/10.00
What must not be matched (cause other rules cover these cases) are tokens such as:
numeric370
hyphen-term
plainterm
00/40

What I tried so far is this rule with a lookahead:
([a-z0-9/-]*)/[-/]+[0-9/-]+

With above I get results that comes close to what I would like to achieve. It matches all these above listed strings, but the last character or digit is skipped. The matched tokens look like:
33-abc-13/1
o3sehh04/0
...

Unfortunately the rule also matches 00/40 (resulting in 00/4).
So my question is what do I miss here? It would be nice to cover these cases with one rule if possible and fast enough. I am aware of the order of processed rules in the lexer script, so the position of that rule would be one of the first ones in the entire set.
If it is not possible perhaps a breakdown of that rule would be another way to go.
With this project I use the RE-flex package (https://github.com/Genivia/RE-flex) because it covers the flex lexer interface and provides unicode (I need to work with wchar_t character strings).
My lexer is a whitespace tokenizer with token classification, it was basically build on the flex 2.5 package a few years back. I've refactored a few things in the token processing and moved to re-flex as it gives me more opportunities. The tokenizer Input strings are short simple text snippets, they do not exceed a length of, lets say, 250-300 characters. So far the background.
NOTE: I use regex101.com to check/experiment when building rules before I transform them for the lexer. It helps a little to get to the right direction, but that's all.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks for your efforts in advance!
Update:
Based on rici's answer the final pattern now looks like this:
[a-z0-9/.-]*[/.-][0-9/-]+

This also covers now tokens containing a ., for example
xx33-4.00
f/44-7.87
...

And considering the sentence separator problem in my comment below was simply
a . in the last character group of the pattern. I removed it and now it works as expected.

A: I don't know anything about RE-flex (although it looks cool) but assuming it really is compatible with flex, the same approach should work: forget about forward lookahead assertions (since the string matched will not include the lookahead pattern, and you want to match the whole string) and put the rule after all the other rules which might match the same thing.
The flex rule is:

*

*the pattern which has the longest match wins, but

*if two or more patterns both match the longest match, the first pattern in the file wins.

So, for example, say you have the patterns:
[0-9]+("/"[0-9]+)*          { return SLASHED_NUMBERS; }
[a-z0-9/-]*[/-][0-9/-]+     { return GENERAL_TOKEN;   }

[Note 1]
Both of those will match 00/40, so if that is the token at the input point, that token will be detected as SLASHED_NUMBERS (the first rule in the file). On the other hand, if you have 00/49-23, it will be detected as GENERAL_TOKEN because that rule matched more characters.

Notes

*

*I based that on your regex. I didn't understand "a rare cases a dot" and it doesn't seem to be reflected in your pattern; furthermore, your pattern seems to be more specific than just "letters, numbers, hyphens and slashes", but I'm not sure exactly what the specifics are.


I don't want to cast aspersions into the wind, or among the swine, or wherever you cast them, but something needs to be said about a revolting experience I recently had. Revolting in the sense of being disgusted, not in the sense of finding green scum on the Swiss cheese.
But for this tale of woe we are not going to Switzerland, but to that other "S" country across the pond, Sweden, home of the Swedes, homeland of half of my forebears' pride, or something like that.
We recently purchased an item from a famous furniture (and other various and sundry items like umbrellas and cork screws) outlet in suburban Minneapolis, a chain that was founded in Sweden called ABBA. Oops. No, that was that other Swedish outfit. This one is called IKEA.
Don't let anybody ever tell you they don't serve great – stupendous – Swedish meatballs at IKEA. None better, and I grew up in a home with a Swedish mother who knew her meatballs. Also her lutefisk, but we won't go there.
But to our point: Strolling through the giant store (you follow arrows painted on the floor) we took a fancy to a small table-like item on display – four legs and a butcher-block top. Perfect for our kitchen. Perfect for chopping onions.
But as all IKEA cognoscenti know, everything substantial at IKEA comes in a box (except umbrellas and cork screws and a few hundred thousand other small items). Translation: You put it together. Put another way, you assemble it. People assemble entire kitchens from IKEA boxes. Also beds.
So we paid up and hauled it home to Duluth, laid the (heavier than heck) box on the floor, pulled out the four legs, as instructed, connected some braces and brackets and set about putting the puzzle together.
Four hours and 17 minutes later, I tore my reading glasses from my face and threw them across the room, uttered a couple of curses I thought I'd forgotten from my days of hanging around filling stations, declared failure and began searching for the receipt, which we'll need to return it.
Life is far too short for this kind of thing. I won't go into great detail about how many times the table fell apart while following the instructions to the letter, but many. Oh, did I say letter? The instructions don't have any letters; they consist of drawings of the various parts. No written instructions.
So back it goes – every piece and screw and bracket retrieved, bagged up and put back in the box. Send it back to Sweden for all I care.
From now on I'm forsaking the land of half of my ancestors, and embracing the other half, largely Irish. My father used to sing, "I wish I was back in my Irishman's shanty, where money was scarce and whiskey was plenty, a three-legged stool and a table to match, and a door in the middle without any latch.
So do I – as long as you don't have to assemble the three-legged stool and matching table.
"Some Assembly Required" is why you have grown children.
It's too late for help, Jack. It's in the box ready to return. But I do agree that my adult kids can handle it. Our daughter put together an IKEA dresser and cabinet but did imply it was not a fun experience. We're looking for the ready-made stuff now!
I think most people who purchase flat box furniture has had their moment of frustration. I've been working on a way to provide the easiest way to assemble furniture, and have succeeded. They're called lock dowels. All you have to do is push the pieces of wood together and your assembly is done. No tools required for assembly. Best of all, once snapped together, the hardware is invisible. Structural strength is also better because lock dowels can never come loose. To get a true visual go to lockdowel.com. No tools needed, no more complicated instructions. Let me know what you think.
Thanks, Bryan. I'm definitely going to check that site out!


After chronicling his talents in a series of illustrations posted on the internet for months, Dan Hipp's illustrations (and more) are making their way to bookshelves.
Titled Mr Hipp Strikes!, this limited edition art book comes signed and numbered to the lucky 400 people who get the edition. It features Hipp's favorite color illustrations from his blog, as well as a sneak peek at his next graphic novel, Stray Days.
Hipp came into comics on the strength of his art in the Image series The Amazing Joy Buzzards, and followed that up with a two volume series called Gyakushu! through TOKYOPOP's beleaguered original manga effort. He had a short stint on DC/Wildstorm's Gen13 series, but has spent the past few years off the direct market's radar but in the larger public's with several volumes of Ben10 graphic novels written by Peter David.
Hipp is taking pre-orders for Mr. Hipp Strikes! on his blog, and I've just submitted a requisitions request to the bookkeeping department at Robot 6 to get one for our library.

Human supremacism: why are animal rights activists still the "orphans of the left"?
Fighting dehumanisation is a central challenge for the left.
By Will Kymlicka
In Blaire French's 1998 novel The Ticking Tenure Clock, the central character, a junior political science professor, is struggling to finish a book on the "Orphans of the Left": animal rights activists. According to French, animal rights activists in the 1990s saw themselves as part of a larger progressive family that sought to protect the vulnerable against exploitation by the powerful. Yet they also felt disowned by the other members of their family.
Twenty years later, the situation remains unchanged. Proponents of various social justice movements routinely express support for each other – feminist organisations often show support for Black Lives Matter, or for immigrant rights, or gay rights – but animal rights groups remain outside this circle of progressive solidarity. As Aimée Dowl notes, "None of the major feminist organisations in the United States devotes committee or internet space to or has polices dealing with animal rights issues". Indeed, as John Sanbonmatsu indicates, "The left with few exceptions has historically viewed human violence towards other beings with indifference."
This indifference has been a source of frustration and puzzlement to many animal rights activists. Part of the explanation is simple self-interest and inertia. The instrumentalisation of animals in our society makes possible a steady flow of pleasures – often very intimate pleasures relating to what we eat and wear – that are central to people's identity. So even when people realise that the treatment of animals in our society is morally suspect, they employ various techniques of "moral disengagement" to look away from the issue.
There is, however, something deeper than self-interest and moral disengagement at work in the left's resistance to animal rights. Embracing animal rights would challenge not only people's identities and lifestyles, but also a central philosophical pillar of left politics: its "humanism".
Humanism here is the idea that the value of humanity consists precisely in its difference from animality. It is because we are different from, and superior to, animals that we have inherent worth and are owed basic rights. What makes human lives valuable is not anything we share with other animals. Rather, it lies in our "distinctly human" qualities such as rationality, morality, or autonomy.
On this humanist account, respect for human dignity consists precisely in treating humans better than animals. Conversely, violating human dignity is defined as treating someone "like an animal". In this sense, humanism is tied to species hierarchy: it is about elevating the human above the animal. A more accurate term therefore might be "human supremacism".
Humanism supremacism is of course not unique to the left. It is found across the political spectrum in the West, with deep roots in the Judeo-Christian tradition. In many ways, it is simply a secular version of long-standing religious ideas that humans were uniquely created in God's image. Yet the left's commitment to humanism has been strengthened by the central role that dehumanisation played in the fight for social justice in the 20th century.
Indeed, many of the great injustices of the 20th century involved dehumanisation – treating Jews, blacks, immigrants, gay people, those with disabilities, and other outgroups as less than fully human. And a growing body of social science evidence confirms that many groups in society continue to be dehumanised, not in the literal sense that they are not seen as members of the species Homo sapiens, but rather in the sense that they are seen as less likely to possess the "distinctly human" qualities that allegedly distinguish us from animals.
Specifically, outgroups today are seen as driven by basic instincts we share with animals – say, pleasure or fear – but as less likely to display "distinctly human" feelings, such as remorse or gratitude. This leads to discrimination and prejudice. But it also renders outgroups vulnerable to violence, since it is assumed that, like animals, they need to be controlled through force.
Fighting dehumanisation is therefore a central challenge for the left. And it is widely assumed that human supremacism is an essential tool in that fight. The best way – and perhaps the only way – to fight the perception that some groups are not fully human is to emphasise the radical discontinuity between humans and animals: that is, to reassert the sanctity of the human.
This belief that human supremacism helps fight dehumanisation underpins many of the strategic choices of the left since World War II. As Claire Jean Kim has shown, the African-American civil rights movement made a deliberate decision in the 1950s to invest in sanctifying the species line as a resource to fight dehumanising racism. American society was accused of treating black people as if they were animals. And most social justice movements from the 1960s onwards followed the same humanist strategy, including those movements seeking to defend women's rights, gay rights, and disability rights.
This is why animal rights activists have remained orphans of the left. The paradigmatic argument for animal rights depends on emphasising continuities between humans and animals; the paradigmatic argument to defend the rights of dehumanised groups depends on emphasising radical discontinuity between humans and animals.
It is not easy to see how this chasm can be overcome. But there is now growing interest in bridging the chasm.
One reason is that supremacism is difficult to defend in our post-Darwin world. Darwin's theory of evolution showed that humans and other animals are continuous with respect to our interests and capacities. If humans share ancestry with other primates, and if we share 98.8 per cent of our DNA with chimpanzees, then whatever makes human lives valuable or worthy of respect almost certainly has analogues in the lives of other animals.
A second reason for overcoming the gap is the recognition on the left that animal agriculture is an environmental catastrophe, whose costs are borne disproportionately by the least well-off. So, the left needs to champion the transition from meat to plant-based diets: we need to wean ourselves off the flow of pleasures we derive from the animal-industrial complex.
But perhaps the most important reason for building bridges is that human supremacism may not be an effective strategy for fighting dehumanisation after all. There is growing evidence that shows that a belief in human supremacy and species hierarchy aggravates, rather than alleviates, the problem of dehumanisation. The more people believe that humans are superior to animals, the more likely they are to dehumanise immigrants, women, and racial minorities.
Interestingly, the link between species hierarchy and dehumanisation is causal, not just correlational. For instance, when participants in studies are given a newspaper story reporting on evidence for human superiority over animals, the outcome is the expression of greater prejudice against human outgroups. By contrast, those who are given a newspaper story reporting on evidence that animals are continuous with humans in the possession of valued traits and emotions become more likely to accord equality to human outgroups. In short, reducing the status divide between humans and animals helps to reduce prejudice and helps to strengthen belief in equality amongst human groups.
This suggests that human supremacism is not only unnecessary to counteract dehumanisation, but is in fact counterproductive. This, in turn, implies that the prospects for bringing animal rights back into the family of social justice movements are significantly improved. We do not need to throw animals under the bus in order to uphold the rights and dignity of women, racial minorities, or people with disabilities. In fact, the fight against species hierarchy and the fight against intra-human hierarchies are mutually supportive, not zero-sum.
Of course, as with any family reunification after a long period of estrangement, this will require a lot of good faith and hard work. If social justice movements have been too willing to throw animals under the bus, it is also true that the animal rights movement has sometimes adopted rhetoric and strategies that reproduce sexist, racist or ableist tropes.
Animal rights advocacy must acknowledge and be held accountable for its impact on gender and racial hierarchies, just as advocacy for gender and racial equality must acknowledge and be held accountable for its effects on animals. Establishing this "ethic of mutual avowal" may be difficult – but if animal rights remain the orphans of the left, the result will be disastrous, not just for animals, but for humans and for the planet.

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) You Me At Six today mark their return to the UK music scene with an exceptional double A-side of 'Fast Forward' & '3AM', the first tracks taken from their brand new sixth studio album VI. Released on October 5th, the release of VI marks a new partnership between the band and AWAL, releasing under their new Underdog Records imprint.
VI is not what you might expect a You Me At Six album to sound like. Recorded at VADA Studios with Dan Austin (Biffy Clyro, Massive Attack, Pixies), and for the first time ever co-produced by the band, the new album showcases the band as they've never been heard before - switching moods and styles with breathless confidence.
Whilst retaining their bite, VI sees them flourish with uplifting alternative pop tracks such as 'Back Again', '3AM' & 'Pray For Me', straying into new territories with electro dance floor leanings on 'IOU', while heavier tracks like 'Fast Forward' & 'Predictable' are set to strike a chord with the band's long standing rock fanbase.
You Me At Six are young enough to still be releasing their first album. And if VI were that first album, it would be hailed as one of the most exciting albums by a British band in years - uncategorisable but familiar, raucous but mainstream.
With four Top 5 albums under their belt in the UK, including a Number 1 with 2014's Cavalier Youth, and an unparalleled 15 consecutive A-List singles on BBC Radio One, You Me At Six kicked things off last night with a first play for '3AM' as Annie Mac's 'Hottest Record'.
The band have notched up a list of considerable achievements since forming in 2004 as teenagers in Weybridge, Surrey, including four UK Gold Records, four Top 10 albums in the UK including Number 1 album Cavalier Youth, three sold out arena shows, sold out UK headline arena tours, multiple sold-out US headline tours and a Number 1 rock song in UK & Australia and Top 5 Rock Radio track in North America in 'Room To Breathe'.
VI sees the band release music for the first time under their own imprint Underdog Records in partnership with AWAL, another sign of their new found confidence and growing belief that they can claim their place at rock's top table on their own terms. "You have to make music for yourself," singer Josh Franceschi says, "because without authenticity people are going to smell the bullshit. None of us are going to into this with any fear, because we've made something we can stand behind."
The band are also gearing up for an exciting second of half of 2018 on the road. Having sold out arena tours in the UK previously, as well as headlining the NME/Radio 1 stage at Reading & Leeds in 2017, the band will debut new songs from the forthcoming album at Download Festival on June 8th, where they'll headline the second stage, as well as appearances at both Community Festival & Belladrum in the UK.
You Me At Six are stepping out of their comfort zone and are about to change the way you think about them. Prepare to have your expectations shifted as 2018 marks a brand new chapter for one of the UK's biggest guitar bands.

What the Iranian scholar Albiruni said about Hindus, echoed centuries later by Vivekananda
26.02.2021 Chaturvedi Badrinath
Abu Rayhan al-Biruni
The earliest, indeed the very first, dialogue between a Muslim scientist and Hindu thought took place when Albiruni (971-1039) arrived in India in the second decade of the eleventh century in circumstances that were rather ironical. He came as a camp follower of Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni (967-1030). Whereas the chief purpose of Sultan Mahmud, the king of Ghazni, was to plunder the immense wealth in the form of gold and money at some of the more famous Hindu temples, the sole aim of Albiruni was to gain from the immense riches of Indian philosophies and the sciences.
That was probably also the time when Indian sciences had, on the whole, no longer anything of theoretical importance to add to their earlier great achievements. The most creative period of science in India was over by a century or two, perhaps. None of the sources Albiruni mentions in his Ta'rikh-ul-Hind was contemporary.

The launch of Space Shuttle Columbia from Launch Pad 39A at John F. Kennedy Space Center on mission STS-9 on November 28, 1983. Also known as STS-41A and Spacelab 1, STS-9 was the first flight carrying the European Space Agency's (ESA) Spacelab. The Space Shuttle was meant as a reusable alternative to the traditional ballistic rockets used to launch manned spacecraft in the 1960s and 1970s. From 1981 to 2011, when the fleet was retired, five shuttles were flown over 130 times. It was the first space launch system that was mostly reusable, as the shuttles themselves and the solid rocket boosters were reused multiple times. Space shuttles were launched from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) and Launch Complex 39B (LC-39B) at John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Merritt Island, Florida.

Remembrance Day in NYC. May We Never Forget
The reading will take place in front of the Italian Consulate on Park Avenue and 69th street.
The Consulate is joined by the Italian Cultural Institute, Centro Primo Levi, the Italian Academy at Columbia University, la Scuola d'Italia, CUNY's John D. Calandra Italian American Institute and the NYU Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò to commemorate the victims of the Shoah.

The economic situation of the Jews in Italy is becoming more and more precarious. [...]
"As the anti-Jewish provisions prohibit Italian Jews from having any part in industrial
enterprises, [...] In fact, these enterprises are being expropriated at a price set by
government experts in return for governments bonds, which are not redeemable. In a
number of cities Jews are compelled to mover their shops […], opening new businesses
is prohibited [...], thousands of Jewish employees have lost their employment, [...] all
Jewish army and navy officers are dismissed [...], some of them have reacted by
committing suicide. [...] Having their property confiscated, they are left with no choice
other than to emigrate [...] According to the latest figures, 3,700 Jews were baptized
during the last 6 months [...].
1939 Memorandum, Joint Distribution Committee Memorandum."
In the year 2000 the European Union adopted January 27 (the day on which in 1945 the Soviet Army liberated Auschwitz) as a Day of Remembrance, to commemorate the victims of the Shoah and to promote the fight against racism and discrimination. The United Nations ratified the anniversary with a resolution in November 2005.
Each year the main Italian cultural and academic institutions in New York commemorate the Day of Remembrance with a weeklong series of cultural events. The centerpiece of the commemoration is a public reading of the names of the men, women and children deported from Italy and the Italian territories.

Q: Is there any command with which I can directly put the text entered by user in a different window in python? I am creating a program that can automate some tasks.
But I am stuck up in between.
I want to know any command with which I can put the same text entered by the user to another window.
For Example:
import web browser as wb
a = input("Enter your text...")
wb.open("www.xyz.com")

Here, I want to ask the user to input text and then I want to open any website like google or any notes website and I want to put the same input entered by the user (whose variable has been defined as 'a') into the text box.
So how can I do it?
Is there any specific function?
I tried Xerox and pyperclip as copy and paste but it is not working it's just copying and not pasting...
So is there any other function or module or am I doing any mistake in paperclip or Xerox to paste the data?
Please guide as soon as possible.

A: you can use selenium module
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

search_item = input("enter your text...")

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get("https://www.google.com")

Macabre [ Website | MySpace | Facebook ]
Grim Scary Tales
Chicago's Macabre is definitely what you'd call a niche sort of band. Their lyrics are focused exclusively on mass murderers and their sound is an unholy amalgamation of death metal, punk, grindcore, thrash, and nursery rhymes. Yes, that's right...many of Macabre's songs impart their gory tales in a sing-song fashion that inserts itself into your brain just like those silly rhymes from the kindergartens of yore. The band has been on the periphery of my awareness since the '90s, but none of their peculiar qualities ever intrigued me enough to investigate their work. Recently, though, a copy of their latest release Grim Scary Tales crossed my desk and offered me the opportunity to take in whatever it is this unique outift has to offer. I'll admit that I was pleasantly surprised, for some of the break-neck grindcore that the band is known for has been replaced by a concentrated - though tongue-in-cheek - effort at songcraft.
Grim Scary Tales is still all about murder and gore, though Macabre's source of inspiration is more historical in nature than has been shown on albums past. From Dracula to Lizzy Borden, Gilles de Rais to Nero, the band draws from myth and sanguine reality to paint a crimson portrait of the worst that humanity has had to offer. While many of the characters are known to the average metal consumer, I personally found the band's research into the more obscure acts of violence to be an educational bonus. "The Bloody Benders", for example, tells the story of a family of psychopaths who lived (and killed) in Kansas in the 1870s while "Mary Ann" recalls the many victims of English black widow Mary Ann Cotton. Interesting, if gruesome, stuff.
Musically the album is all over the map. The basic Macabre grind still finds it's way into most of the tracks to one degree or another, with "Locusta" and "Burke and Hare" being the most familiar to the band's long-time fans. "Nero", however, has a strong psychobilly influence and clean, almost operatic vocals from frontman Corporate Death. "The Bloody Benders" is set to a twangy bluegrass melody, while "The Big Bad Wolf" is more of a speed/thrash offering and "Mary Ann" could almost be called a power ballad. The vast array of influences on display isn't limited to those examples, making Grim Scary Tales a sonic smorgasbord that's sure to please (and irritate) just about every extreme music fan. The only time that the band sticks to one style is on their true-to-form cover of Venom's "Countess Bathory", so be prepared for quite a roller-coaster of an album. Whatever direction they happen to be on at the moment, one thing's for sure - the guys of Macabre are probably some of the most underrated musicians in metal today. They consistently deliver sharp solos, catchy riffs, relentless double-kick, and groovy bass throughout the album.
If you don't mind the morbid subject matter and the constant switching of stylistic gears, Grim Scary Tales is an album that can be fun to listen to and educational to boot. Their back catalog is almost certainly not my cup of tea, but I'm curious to see what Macabre has in store for their next release. Hopefully they won't take another six years to put it together!

WIKIMEDIA, VOGLER
Arvid Carlsson, a Swedish pharmacologist whose discovery of dopamine's role in Parkinson's disease revolutionized research into the condition, died on June 29. He was 95.
"Arvid Carlsson is the originator of several major discoveries that led to dramatic improvements in quality of life for millions of patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders," Agneta Holmäng, dean of the Sahlgrenska Academy, says in a statement from the University of Gothenburg, where Carlsson was an emeritus professor of pharmacology.
Born into an academic family in Uppsala, Sweden, in 1923, he began studying medicine at the University of Lund in 1941. Carlsson completed his medical and doctoral degrees in 1951. During that period, he served in the Swedish military forces on-and-off for two years. In 1959, he became a professor of pharmacology at the University of Lund.
Prior to Carlsson's research into dopamine, the scientific community believed the...
In 2000, Carlsson won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for this work. "The award that you get from patients, compared to all the awards I have received, is much more important," Carlsson said in a podcast recorded for the Sahlgrenska Academy in 2016.

We're excited to welcome Arch Insurance to our US SME and Canada cyber programs
17 Feb 2021 by Shawn Ram.
Today is a big day for Coalition. We just announced a multi-year partnership with Arch Insurance North America. This provides us with long-term capacity for our U.S. and Canada Cyber and Technology E&O insurance programs with Arch's A.M. Best A+ rated carriers.
But this speaks to more than just comprehensive insurance coverage for our policyholders. It shows strong support for Coalition's rapid growth and dedication to our belief that a technology-focused, data-driven approach to managing risk is the way of the future.
Why we partnered with Arch Insurance
We regularly meet with insurance carriers who are eager to participate in our program, with an increased interest in the present growth of the cyber marketplace for small and midsize organizations. What we look for is a shared vision — long-term aspirations of growth and success within cyber. We wanted a partner that made us stronger through an innovative approach to coverage, quality ratings that enhanced our existing product, and financial strength.
Arch demonstrates all of the attributes that matter to Coalition. And, given their reputation in advanced analytics, they understand the importance of our methodology and seek to build on our capabilities.
In a joint press release published by Coalition and Arch, Jay Rajendra, Arch's Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer stated, "Arch is committed to leveraging advanced analytics to change the way we understand risk and protect businesses. We're excited to work with Coalition, which is using its data-driven approach to insure cyber risk. Their analytics-based approach and superior in-house cybersecurity services are compelling reasons for us to support their ongoing mission to solve cyber risk. Our partnership with Coalition is an excellent complement to Arch's existing cyber insurance product offerings."
What it means for Coalition customers
We have experienced consistently profitable growth as a result of our unique approach to underwriting, continuous monitoring of insureds' risks, and efficient claims management through our in-house incident response team. We're excited to accelerate our growth with Arch alongside our existing carriers — Swiss Re, Lloyd's of London, and Argo — as dedicated insurance partners.
Swiss Re continues to lead our programs, and Argo and Arch support capacity and our growth:
US Surplus Lines SME: 45% Swiss Re / 30% Arch / 25% Argo
Canada: 70% Swiss Re / 30% Arch
"Our partnership with Arch reinforces our commitment to providing businesses with the most comprehensive insurance available, now backed by the financial strength of multiple A.M. Best A+ rated insurers," said Joshua Motta, co-founder and CEO of Coalition. "Equally important, we are pleased to welcome a partner that shares our desire to use data and technology to better protect businesses. We look forward to collaborating with Arch to develop new and advanced predictive analytics capabilities that improve our products and that better address the greatest risks companies face today."
