Last February, Kara attended the wedding of her friends, Annie and Andrew Ryland. It was actually their third wedding. The firsst one was in Singapore, followed by a wedding in London. The couple decided not to accept gifts. Instead, they asked everyone to donate to Project Malasakit. After a few months, they were able to raise 150,000 pesos.
The funds were used to rebuild a Katutubo school for the Aetas of Sitio Malipano in Zambales.
Construction of the Ryland school building is finished thanks to the kind heart of the Rylands, all their donors, to the leadership of Aeta teacher Dave Ba-alan, to the spirit of bayanihan shown by the Aetas and of course... Thanks to Annie and Andrew's inspiring love and compassion.


Chloe used our Baby Blue Christmas Tree to create a winter-themed ice cream tree inspired by the popular Disney movie, "Frozen," Adorned with our First Frost Iridescent Ornament Set alongside other accents, she designed her tree with ice and snow in mind.

Dementia Joe's BIZARRE Answer To Reporter Asking About Defunding The Police (Video)
by K. Walker | Jul 23, 2021 | Politics
At what point, exactly, will the Corporate Media admit that maybe there's something not quite right with Joe? Will the question he asked today about Republicans thinking Dems are sucking the blood out of kids move them to realize what is going on? It's clear as day that the Joe Biden's brain phaser is set to stunned, and he should really be back in Delaware, kicking back with his grandkids and sampling different ice cream flavors to his heart's content. dementia joe's bizarre answer
Instead, the United States is stuck with a shambling carcass of mediocrity who carries staff-prepared cards in his pocket that instructs him what he's supposed to say when he's asked a question—when they allow him to answer a question.
When he responds off the cuff, bad things happen.
A reporter asked a legitimate reporterly question (shocking, I know,) and Joe clearly didn't have his cards with him. His response was…strange, to say the least.
The reporter asked, "Are there people in the Democratic Party who want to defund the police?"
This is a reasonable question as crime has soared over the last year in places that chose to defund or "reallocate" funding for police.
His response was, "Are there people in the Republican Party who think we're sucking the blood out of kids?"
Joe Biden was given the chance to condemn the Democrat-run cities defunding the police around the country, but he refused.

Ok, there are a few ways that can be taken.
The most obvious one is that Joe was deflecting by tossing out a reference to a fringe Q-Anon conspiracy theory that believes that the Democratic Party is filled with a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophile cultists who engage in cannibalism. Now, how many people actually believe that is a guess, and even if they did fall into that trap, well… Democrats don't exactly make it easy to defend them with close ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, Ed Buck, and the weird "spirit cooking" performance art by Marina Abramovic that really make it look like they're engaging in — or at least turning a blind eye to — the sexual trafficking of young girls, sexually predatory behavior, and disturbing satanic rituals.
Joe was giving a cue to the press that they should be hounding Republicans about Q-Anon more than they have been instead of asking questions to Democrats because everything in Bidenland is going along oh, so swimmingly.
Joe's response would be consistent with someone who a) binge-watched the Q-Anon "documentaries"; or b) is just regurgitating what his team told him about a group of Trump-supporting Republicans.
The second way to take this is that Biden was attempting to invoke the idea of "blood libel" by suggesting that it's vilification to say that the "defund the police" movement is backed by some Democrats. To be fair, Joe has never ever been bright enough to make that argument…and his mental acuity is much worse now.
The third approach that Joe could be making is suggesting that the two questions should be taken with the same amount of seriousness — they're both "conspiracy theories." He was dismissing the question as just as ridiculous as the belief that Democrats are "sucking the blood out of kids."
This is probably the most plausible reason for his bizarre response.
We saw that the Democrats tried pinning the defunding of police on Republicans for about five minutes, but it clearly didn't work. That's probably because we have lots of evidence to the contrary.
Roll tape:
The Squad members are all-in when it comes to defunding police.
AOC: 'Defund The Police' Means They Really Want To DEFUND The Police
LMAO: Squad Derails Dems' Gaslighting By Demanding The Defunding Of ICE (VIDEO)
Heck, so was Joe when he was running for President. He was all for "reallocating funds" from the police — which means defunding them to some degree and using those resources elsewhere.
And let's not forget that the Democratic Party has a real affinity for the self-proclaimed Marxist Black Lives Matter organization, which is not just calling for "defunding" but the abolition of the police.
UH-OH, JOE! BLM Founders Demand Biden Support 'Roadmap' For Abolition Of Police And Prisons
It's also quite relevant since it appears that "Open Society" founder and billionaire leftist donor George Soros, who tosses his money to back "progressive" Attorneys General who are soft on crime, spent $1 million on the "defund the police" movement in 2020. It was his "largest political donation of the 2021 election cycle," according to the Washington Examiner.
So, instead of just saying, "Yes, some Democrats are calling for the defunding of police, or have done it in the past, and here's why I disagree…" Joe just tossed out another question because he doesn't want to be bothered to answer a journo.
We've gone from the guy who would engage with even the most rabid partisans who built a platform on soundbites and leftist grandstanding in their role as "journalist" to this guy who is mostly hidden away and when the press does finally get access, he won't give a straight answer on a very basic question.
And our Corporate Media response is…

What Happens If You Have a Data Breach?
What is a data breach? A data breach is a security incident in which sensitive, protected or confidential data is copied, transmitted, viewed, stolen or used by an individual unauthorized to do so. Data breaches may involve financial information such as credit card or bank details, personal health information, and trade secrets of corporations or intellectual property. The cost for mandatory notification, providing credit monitoring & credit repair expense for individuals impacted by a breach could be crippling to a business.
Could your business be at risk? Unfortunately, the answer is "yes." These security breaches are becoming increasingly more common as our culture becomes more wireless, digital, and paperless. A majority of our daily transactions now occur online. However, businesses today can protect their business and their clients from these unwanted risks with the right insurance and coverage. Watch this informative video on Data Breach Coverage in order to better understand how to protect your business from this liability.


Your house is probably one of your biggest investments in life. Understanding the meaning of mortgage loan can help you avoid losing your most precious property. You might lose everything if you know nothing about mortgage loans. Here are the things that you should know about mortgage loans.
The interest rate of the mortgage loan should be the first thing you need to know before signing for one. In most cases, the higher your loan amount means higher interest. Calculate with piti payment calculator the entire interest you have to pay before you finalize your loan. The loan term is also another factor you should take a look at. It would not be wise to go for a low interest rate but a short loan term.
There might be times where you have to pay for miscellaneous fees before you could get your loan. You should also consider giving a high upfront payment to lessen your monthly fees. Long term mortgages should always be carefully planned before you sign up for one. The interest rate plus the rolling cost might stack up over time which could really become a burden.
The cost of the mortgage should be reasonable based on your prospective home. It would be best to get a home that you can afford based on your monthly income.
Aside from the mortgage loan, you would still have to do several payments. Get a piti payment calculator to know your exact monthly payments. Never get a home that will cost you more than your monthly income. It is advisable to get a house with a low gross monthly payment. Never decide to get a different loan just to pay for something that you cannot really afford.
Always review the mortgage terms before you sign it. Get to know the company policies in case you will not be able to pay for a month or two. If you want to stop, is there an alternative? Do not get a biweekly payment type of mortgage loan. If you want automatic payments every month, use a piti payment calculator first. You should be getting a lower interest rate if you upfront payment is huge.
Thoroughly check the mortgage terms to see if you will have to pay for extra charges. There might be warehouse charges so you should calculate it via piti payment calculator first to see if the charges are reasonable.

by Jerome Roos When George Orwell first sent in his celebrated dispatches from revolutionary Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s, the British socialist magazine The New Statesman infamously refused to publish them for being too critical of the Stalinist crackdown on the Trotskyist and anarchist militias. As editor Kingsley Martin put it in a letter to Orwell, "it is an unfortunate fact that any hostile criticism of the present Russian regime is liable to be taken as propaganda against socialism." Still, Orwell, who had been embedded in the Trotskyist POUM and had fought the fascists side-by-side … Continue reading Taking notes 21: The dangerous dreams of Slavoj Žižek

In the corporate media–once breathless with speculation as to the movement's origins and intentions and loud in its declamations of criticism—there is now only silence. A movement which was portrayed as having come from nothing has, seemingly, returned to nothing, having changed nothing. The very social problems it denounced– widening inequality, the tyranny of finance capital, the totalitarian power of the surveillance-security state, the subordination of democracy to money-value: remain or are getting worse. … Continue reading After Occupy

Jane Gray, our HR Advisor, and Jane Preest, our Safeguarding Officer, presented a review of St James's Safeguarding Policy, Safeguarding and Procedures Handbook and Safeguarding Self-Audit and Action Plan. The PCC approved these, noting a number of specific enhancements to the policy and the timescales for further actions, principally relating to DBS checks and further training.
As part of its continuing work in ensuring that St James's has a robust policy framework covering its various activities, the PCC considered and approved, subject to minor amendments, a periodic review of the Health & Safety Policy, and also a new policy for hire of the Church Hall, Meeting Room, Basement Office and Kitchen, encapsulating mainly already established practice.
Deborah Colvin and Trevor Lines were congratulated for their re-election at the April APCM as Churchwardens for a further twelve-month term of office. The PCC thanked Kevin Hipgrave for his service as PCC Lay Vice Chair over the past two years and Wilson Wong was nominated and unanimously appointed as PCC Lay Vice Chair for 2018-19. The PCC also thanked David McKinley for his ongoing valued contribution as Honorary Treasurer to the PCC. Membership of the Standing Committee for 2018-19 was confirmed as the Rector, Associate Rector, Churchwardens, Honorary Treasurer and PCC Lay Vice Chair.
PCC members were provided with a copy of St James's bespoke PCC Members' Handbook 2018-19 containing key information and setting out their responsibilities as PCC members and as charity trustees. In addition to signing up to St James's Code of Commitment for PCC members (which includes adherence to the Nolan principles for standards in public service), PCC members completed necessary Declarations of interest and non-disqualification declaration forms.
PCC Member liaison roles for 2018-19 were confirmed, aimed at continuing to strengthen links between the PCC and various organisations and groups closely associated with St James's. Those PCC members who have volunteered will provide feedback on their visits to these groups to PCC meetings throughout the year.
The Rector provided feedback on a recent consultation meeting with Historic England, which had resulted in more favourable feedback than previous consultations, and notified the PCC of a further forthcoming consultation meeting with the amenity societies and the Diocese. A presentation to the congregation in relation to the project is to be held after the service on Sunday 27th May.
The PCC perused the management accounts for the three months to 31st March 2017, noting that performance was broadly in line with budget and raising a number of questions for clarification. The deficit for the year to date was noted as typical for this early time of the year and, given the unpredictability of one-off items, it was not to be expected that the accounts would as yet give any meaningful indication of the performance for the year.
Nick Worsnop, Assistant Treasurer, presented a proposal relating to St James's operational banking. Following an analysis of St James's banking requirements as presented to the PCC in November 2017, Requests for Proposals had been sent to a variety of banks. Following an assessment of responses, a recommendation was made, and the PCC approved, a consolidation of St James's operational banking with a single bank, CAF Bank. A separate review and proposals in relation to the investment of St James's surplus cash would be considered in due course.
The Revd Lucy Winkett provided feedback on her recent trip to Syria as a member of a pastoral visit by a group of church leaders, artists, charity workers, peers, journalists and writers, at the invitation of the Syrian Orthodox Church. Recounting some of her experiences on the trip and observations on the plight of ordinary Syrian citizens, including Christians, Lucy advised that taking into account some criticism of the trip in some of the UK press, her view was that it was valuable and important to take part in visits like this, emphasising that the church should remain independent from government, and be prepared to take some risks to understand the conflict, taking part in an ongoing dialogue across faith and cultural boundaries. Further discussion about the trip would be held with the congregation in due course. After note: LW discussed the trip at the Vagabonds meeting 20th May 2018.

Hubert Harrison, "The Voice of Harlem Radicalism." Presentation by Jeffrey B. Perry at the St. Croix Landmarks Society Event "Coming Home to St. Croix," at Estate Whim, St. Croix, July 19, 2016.
Hubert H. Harrison (1883-1927) is one of the truly important figures of twentieth-century history. A brilliant writer, orator, educator, critic, and political activist, he was described by Joel A. Rogers, in "World's Great Men of Color" as "perhaps the foremost Afro-American intellect of his time." Labor and civil rights leader A. Philip Randolph described Harrison as "the father of Harlem Radicalism." Bibliophile Arthur Schomburg, fully aware of his popularity, eulogized to the thousands attending Harrison's Harlem funeral that he was also "ahead of his time." Hubert Harrison has much to offer us today!
Harrison served as the foremost Black organizer, agitator, and theoretician in the Socialist Party of New York during its 1912 heyday; he founded the first organization (the Liberty League) and the first newspaper ("The Voice") of the militant, World War I-era "New Negro" movement; edited "The New Negro: A Monthly Magazine of a Different Sort" ("intended as an organ of the international consciousness of the darker races -- especially of the Negro race") in 1919; wrote "When Africa Awakes: The 'Inside Story' of the Stirrings and Strivings of the New Negro in the Western World" in 1920; and he served as editor of the "Negro World" and principal radical influence on the Garvey movement during its radical high point in 1920.
His views on race and class profoundly influenced a generation of "New Negro" militants and common people including the class radical A. Philip Randolph and the race radical Marcus Garvey. Considered more race conscious than Randolph and more class conscious than Garvey, Harrison is the key link in the ideological unity of the two great trends of the Black Liberation Movement -- the labor and civil rights trend associated with Martin Luther King, Jr., and the race and nationalist trend associated with Malcolm X. (Randolph and Garvey were, respectively, the direct links to King marching on Washington, with Randolph at his side, and to Malcolm (whose father was a Garveyite preacher and whose mother wrote for the "Negro World"), speaking militantly and proudly on street corners in Harlem.
Harrison was also an immensely skilled and popular orator and educator; a highly praised journalist, critic, and book reviewer; a pioneer Black activist in the freethought and birth control movements; and a bibliophile and library builder and popularizer who helped develop the 135th Street Public Library into what is now the internationally famous Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

Hubert Harrison and Others "Occupy Wall Street" on September 13, 1912

104 years ago (on September 14, 1912) in "Enlightening Wall Street" the New York Times reported that "Hubert Harrison, an eloquent and forceful negro speaker, shattered all records for distance in an address on Socialism in front of the Stock Exchange building yesterday [September 13]" His "voice carried to the furthermost limits of the crowd," he "was still going strong, at the beginning of the third hour," and he continued on until "the big gong in the Exchange announced the closing."
Hubert Harrison (1883-1927) was a brilliant writer, orator, editor and political activist who was described by J. A. Rogers as "perhaps the foremost Afro-American intellect of his time" and by A. Philip Randolph as "the father of Harlem Radicalism."
Hubert Harrison was the leading Black activist in the Socialist Party around 1912 when he emphasized that politically, the Negro is the touchstone of the modern democratic idea" and when he lectured on socialism as many as 23 times a week (including speaking before 40,000 people in Manhattan's Union Square).
By 1917 Hubert Harrison was the founder of the militant "New Negro Movement," a precursor to the Black Power Movement of the 1960s, and he was organizing a massive Harlem rally that protested the white supremacist "pogrom" (his word) on the African American community of East St. Louis, Illinois (12 miles from Ferguson, Missouri).
Hubert Harrison was a major radical influence on both A. Philip Randolph and Marcus Garvey and on a generation of "New Negroes." (Extending those political lines of descent leads to Martin and Malcolm).
When he died unexpectedly from an appendicitis-related condition in 1927 bibliophile Arthur Schomburg, knowing how popular Harrison was in his day, presciently eulogized that Hubert Harrison "was ahead of his time."
In the 21st century we have much to learn from Hubert Harrison and the struggles he and others waged!

It was made clear that this "New Negro Movement" represented a breaking away of the Negro masses from the grip of old-time leaders….
The Voice, July 4, 1917
The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the Color Line. But what is the Color Line? It is the practice of the theory that the colored and "weaker" races of the earth shall not be free to follow "their own way of life and allegiance," but shall live, work and be governed after such fashion as the dominant white race may decide. Consider for a moment the full meaning of this fact. Of the seventeen hundred million people that dwell on our earth today more than twelve hundred million are colored – black and brown and yellow. The so-called white race is, of course, the superior race. That is to say, it is on top by virtue of its control of the physical force of the world – ships, guns, soldiers, money and other resources. By virtue of this control England rules and robs India, Egypt, Africa and the West Indies; by virtue of this control we of the United States can tell Haytians, Hawaiians, Filipinos, and Virgin Islanders how much they shall get for their labor and what shall be done in their lands; by virtue of this control Belgium can still say to the Congolese whether they shall have their hands hacked off or their eyes gouged out – and all without any reference to what Africans, Asiatics or other inferior members of the world's majority may want.
It is thus clear that, as long as the Color Line exists, all the perfumed protestations of Democracy on the part of the white race must be simply downright lying. The cant of "Democracy" is intended as dust in the eyes of white voters, incense on the altar of their own self-love. It furnishes bait for the clever statesmen who hold the destinies of their people in their hands when they go fishing for suckers in the waters of public discussion. But it becomes more and more apparent that Hindus, Egyptians, Africans, Chinese and Haytians have taken the measure of this cant and hypocrisy. And, whatever the white world may think, it will have these peoples to deal with during the twentieth century."

The "Inside Story" of the Stirrings and Strivings
In 1964, as Princeton freshmen we were told that Woodrow Wilson had been a leading Progressive, a proponent of "Democracy," and a champion of self-determination abroad. It is good to see students today challenging that picture.
Wilson's record was deplorable on the "race question." He cut back federal appointments of African Americans; supported showings of the white-supremacist film "The Birth of a Nation" for himself, his Cabinet, Congress, and the Supreme Court; stood by silently as segregation was formalized in the Post Office, Treasury, Interior, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and Navy; did nothing as almost two dozen segregation-supporting legislative attempts including exclusion of Black immigrants, segregation of streetcars, and a ban on inter-racial marriages in the District of Columbia were introduced in the House and Senate; and declined to use any significant power of office to address lynching, segregation, and disfranchisement and the vicious white-supremacist attacks on twenty-six African American communities including Washington, DC, Chicago, and East St. Louis that occurred during his administration.
Under Wilson the U.S. not only implemented the Espionage Act of 1917, the Sedition Act of 1918, and the Palmer Raids of 1919-1920, it also occupied Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Nicaragua and intervened in Panama, Honduras, and Mexico. Nevertheless, Wilson ran for President in 1916 on a campaign slogan "he kept us out of war," posed before the world as a champion of democracy, and prated of "the rights of small nationalities," of "self-determination," and of "the right of all who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government." In addition to the awful horrors let loose on small countries pre-war, in the postwar period he also helped to pave the way for partition, occupation, and conquest in the Middle East and Africa and for future wars.
There were contemporaries of Wilson, people like the intellectual/activist Hubert Harrison, the founder of the first organization (the Liberty League) and first newspaper (The Voice) of the militant "New Negro Movement," who saw through the misleading portrait of Wilson so often found in the media and history books. Harrison understood that while lynching, segregation, and disfranchisement marred this land, and while the U.S. brazenly attacked smaller countries, "Wilson's protestations of democracy were lying protestations, consciously, and deliberately designed to deceive." At the founding meeting of the Liberty League in June 1917, Harrison posed a direct challenge to Wilson who had claimed the U.S. was entering World War I in order to "Make the World Safe for Democracy." Harrison's mass meeting was called, as its organizational flyer headlined, to "Stop Lynching and Disfranchisement in the Land Which We Love and Make the South 'Safe For Democracy.'" A month later Harrison led a second major Harlem rally to protest the white supremacist "pogrom" (his word) in East St. Louis, Illinois (15 miles from Ferguson, Missouri).
We are glad that the Black Justice League is raising some of these issues, opening the eyes of many, and helping to point the way forward in the 21st century.

Rogers, in "World's Great Men of Color," as "the foremost Afro-American intellect of his time" and by labor and civil rights activist A. Philip Randolph as "the father of Harlem Radicalism."
His views on race and class profoundly influenced a generation of "New Negro" militants and common people including the class radical A. Philip Randolph and the race radical Marcus Garvey.

Hubert H. Harrison (1883-1927) is one of the truly important figures of twentieth-century history. A brilliant writer, orator, educator, critic, and political activist, he was described by Joel A. Rogers, in "World's Great Men of Color" as "the foremost Afro-American intellect of his time." Labor and civil rights leader A. Philip Randolph described Harrison as "the father of Harlem Radicalism."
His views on race and class profoundly influenced a generation of "New Negro" militants and common people including the class radical A. Philip Randolph and the race radical Marcus Garvey. Considered more race conscious than Randolph and more class conscious than Garvey, Harrison is the key link in the ideological unity of the two great trends of the Black Liberation Movement -- the labor and civil rights trend associated with Martin Luther King, Jr., and the race and nationalist trend associated with Malcolm X. (Randolph and Garvey were, respectively, the direct links to King marching on Washington, with Randolph at his side, and to Malcolm (whose father was a Garveyite preacher and whose mother wrote for the Negro World), speaking militantly and proudly on street corners in Harlem.

July 4, 1917: Hubert Harrison Urges Armed Self-Defense at Harlem Rally Jeffrey B. Perry Zinn Education Project
Tags: July 4, 1917, Hubert H. Harrison, Hubert Harrison, Liberty League, New Negro Movement, Marcus Garvey, Urges Armed Self-Defense, Harlem Rally, Jeffrey B. Perry, Zinn Education Project, Ferguson, #Ferguson
On July 4, 1917, The Voice: A Newspaper for the New Negro—the first newspaper of the "New Negro Movement," edited by Hubert H. Harrison—made its debut at a rally at the Metropolitan Baptist Church at 120 W. 138th Street, between Lenox and Seventh Avenues in Harlem.
The rally was called by Harrison's Liberty League (which was the first organization of the "New Negro Movement" and which Marcus Garvey and many other activists joined). The rally drew national attention as it protested against lynching, segregation, and disfranchisement.
The protest rally came in the wake of two series of white supremacist pogroms (from May 27–May 30 and July 1–3, 1917) against the African American community of East St. Louis, Illinois. Estimates of the number of African Americans killed in East St. Louis ranged from 39 to 250 and the attacks were widely attributed to "white" labor's opposition to Black workers.
At the rally Harrison reportedly said, "They are saying a great deal about democracy in Washington now," but, "while they are talking about fighting for freedom and the Stars and Stripes, here at home the white apply the torch to the black men's homes, and bullets, clubs and stones to their bodies."
As president of the Liberty League, Harrison advised Black people who faced mob violence in the South and elsewhere to take direct action and "supply themselves with rifles and fight if necessary, to defend their lives and property."
According to the New York Times, Harrison received great applause when he declared that "the time had come for the Negroes [to] do what white men who were threatened did, look out for themselves, and kill rather than submit to be killed." He was quoted as saying, "We intend to fight if we must . . . for the things dearest to us, for our hearths and homes," and he encouraged Black people everywhere who did not enjoy the protection of the law "to arm for their own defense, to hide their arms, and to learn how to use them."
He also called for a collection of money to buy rifles for those who could not obtain them, emphasizing that "Negroes in New York cannot afford to lie down in the face of this" because "East St. Louis touches us too nearly."
As he later put it, "'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,' and sometimes two eyes or a half dozen teeth for one is the aim of the New Negro."
Harrison stressed that it was imperative to "demand justice" and to "make our voices heard."

Hubert Harrison Urges Armed Self-Defense at Harlem Rally
On July 4, 1917, "The Voice: A Newspaper for the New Negro" — the first newspaper of the "New Negro Movement," edited by Hubert H. Harrison, made its debut at a rally at the Metropolitan Baptist Church at 120 W. 138th Street between Lenox and Seventh Avenues in Harlem.
The rally was called by Harrison's Liberty League (which was the first organization of the "New Negro Movement and which Marcus Garvey and many other activists joined) and drew national attention as it protested against lynching, segregation, and disfranchisement.
The protest rally came in the wake of two series of white supremacist pogroms (from May 27 to May 30 and July 1 through 3, 1917) against the African American community of East St. Louis, Illinois. Estimates of the number of African Americans killed in East St. Louis ranged from 39 to 250 and the attacks were widely attributed to "white" labor's opposition to Black workers. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, placed principal blame for the "riots" on "the excessive and abnormal number of negroes" in East St. Louis.
At the rally Harrison reportedly said "they are saying a great deal about democracy in Washington now," but, "while they are talking about fighting for freedom and the Stars and Stripes, here at home the white apply the torch to the black men's homes, and bullets, clubs and stones to their bodies."
According to the "New York Times" Harrison received great applause when he declared that "the time had come for the Negroes [to] do what white men who were threatened did, look out for themselves, and kill rather than submit to be killed."

As he later put it, " 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,' and sometimes two eyes or a half dozen teeth for one is the aim of the New Negro."
In 1919 -- Hubert H. Harrison edited The New Negro: A Monthly Magazine of a Different Sort -- "intended as an organ of the international consciousness of the darker races -- especially of the Negro race."
In 1920 Harrison continued his militant "New Negro" work as managing editor of The Negro World and author of When Africa Awakes: The "Inside Story of the Stirrings and Strivings of the New Negro in the Western World

Nicole Kidman Praises TV as a Great Supporter of Women—CBS Doesn't Get the Message
The broadcast network needs to wake up
By Brandon Katz • 08/02/17 12:24pm
Nicole Kidman is having a great year. Christopher Polk/Getty Images
It may only be July, but we can safely say that Nicole Kidman is absolutely crushing 2017. She delivered arguably the best work of her impressive career in HBO's Big Little Lies and the hype machine is already revving for Top of the Lake's second installment. But Kidman doesn't need us to point out how awesome her year is, she's fully capable of doing that herself.
"To have this year — it makes me cry — with all of these things [coming] together at the same time, it's phenomenal," she said at the Television Critics Association summer press tour via Variety. "I don't know how that happened because it was not thought out — it was given to me that way. I just bow down and I'm very, very grateful."
We're grateful too for Kidman's amazing performances this year. But how come the veteran actress, who has been working professionally since 1983, isn't always enjoying this type of spotlight? This is a woman who has won an Oscar, after all, so where's the love been recently?
Kidman admits that she's just going "where the great roles are" and where the great roles are right now is television.
"I love that for the two series that I've done on TV, I'm sitting with women up here," she said. "Is something changing? I know that I'm not sitting up here with men. I'm sitting up here both times with women and that means that the roles are here, the roles are in television, and that's really exciting."
While Kidman is enjoying a career resurgence thanks to the small screen, the dinosauric CBS refuses to evolve. For the second consecutive development season, CBS did not pick up a single new show with a female lead. Other networks such as FX are enacting plans to provide more opportunities to a more diverse group of potential employees while the prehistoric CBS appears to be absentmindedly staring up at the advancing meteor with no plan.
As for Kidman, she hopes to keep working in the medium and maybe even broaden her horizons a bit.
"Absolutely," she answered when asked if she wants to do more TV. "I would love to be able to do a comedy — I never get offered them. I'm willing to fall flat on my face. I know how to get back up again. I'm willing to get back up again."
You heard the lady, TV. Make it happen.

Eolshälls reningsverk var ett avloppsreningsverk vid Klubbfjärden, Mälaren i Hägersten, södra Stockholm.

Historik

Eolshälls reningsverk togs i drift 1961 och lades ner 1984. Idag är verket en pumpstation. Det anlades insprängt i Klubbacken vid Klubbensborg. Hösten 1956 började man spränga i berget. Bergmassorna var tänkta att tippas utanför den närbelägna båtklubben för att skapa en 190 meter lång vågbrytande stenpir men istället användes massor från de pågående tunnelsprängningarna för den sydvästra grenen av tunnelbanan, i huvudsak tunneln mellan Axelsberg och Mälarhöjden. År 1961 igångsattes driften för låggradig rening. Den höggradiga reningen togs i drift 24 maj 1962 och därmed var verket helt färdigt. Vattenreningen skedde inledningsvis på biologiskt sätt.

Mellan 1967 och 1970 infördes även kemisk rening på försök. Försöket bestod i att tillsätta aluminiumsulfat efter slamavskiljningen och den biologiska reningsprocessen och syftet var att reducera fosfat- och kvicksilverhalterna i vattnet. Under 1970 godkändes och permanentades den kemiska processen. I berget fanns reningsbassängerna och ovan mark låg centralbyggnaden och den 50 meter höga ventilationsskorstenen som blev ett välbekant riktmärke för sjöfararna på Mälaren och Klubbfjärden. Anläggningen dimensionerades för en folkmängd av 100 000 personer och möjlighet att kunna öka reningskapaciteten med 50 %. Eolshälls reningsverk tog bland annat hand om Skärholmens avloppsvatten, som med självfall rann till verket.

Avveckling
När en överenskommelse mellan Stockholms kommun och Sydvästra Stockholmsregionens VA-verksaktiebolag (SYVAB) träffades 1982 att verkets tillrinningsområde istället skulle föras till Himmerfjärdsverket stängdes Eolshälls reningsverk 1984. Sedan dess förs avloppsvattnet via en pumpstation från Eolshällsverket till Himmerfjärdsverket. Åren 2006 till 2010 revs de gamla byggnaderna och installationerna och på Klubbacken byggdes flera bostadshus. Den höga skorstenen finns alltjämt kvar och bergrummet används som bilgarage.

Joshua Meyer (born 1974, Lubbock, Texas, United States) is an American artist, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He earned his B.A. from Yale University and also studied at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem.

He is known for his oil paintings of people, and for a searching process by which they emerge, trail off, wander, get lost, experiment and reemerge. This searching quality is characterized by a thick texture in many of his paintings, influenced by Alberto Giacometti, Frank Auerbach, and Rembrandt van Rijn. Every painting emerges from struggle and re-evaluation.

The artist's work has been shown in galleries and museums across the United States, Europe and Asia, including Eight Approaches at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, a solo exhibition, Tohu vaVohu  at the Hebrew College in Boston (2004), and Becoming (2006) at the Yale Slifka Center and NYU Bronfman Center. "Commanding visions," emerge from the midst of Meyer's thickly layered paint, according to Hebrew College Professor Steven Copeland in the introduction to the 2004 Tohu vaVohu catalog. "He engages...fateful questions concerning the character of art and of Judaism, their possibilities, challenges and problems."

Meyer's subjects play a hide-and-seek game with the viewer, often dissolving into the paint. According to Allegra Goodman, in the introduction to the 2013 exhibition catalog Rustle, Sparkle, Flutter, Float, these people "will reveal themselves, and they will disappear. Look at them up close and they scatter, self-effacing." The figures are elusive and appear introspective. "Some artists try to depict our world. Meyer presents people in their own worlds, and invites us to enter."

Meyer is a recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant as well as the Sustainable Arts Foundation Award, and a 2010 Painting Fellowship from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Meyer's work has been written up in The San Francisco Chronicle, The Forward, The Philadelphia Metro, New Haven Register, Art New England, The Boston Phoenix and The Boston Globe.

The Duke and Duchess learn more about organisations working to prevent suicide
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's engagements on 10th March focussed on the inspiring story of Jonny Benjamin. Jonny's life was saved by a stranger in 2008 as he contemplated taking his own life. After receiving help, Jonny launched a social media campaign called #FindMike six years later, together with the charity Rethink Mental Illness, to find the man who saved him in order to offer his thanks. The campaign succeeded and Jonny was reunited with not a Mike, but Neil Laybourn.
A post shared by The Prince and Princess of Wales (@princeandprincessofwales)
The Duke and Duchess will meet Jonny and Neil at St Thomas' Hospital in London where Jonny was sectioned immediately after his near suicide, where they talked about tackling the stigma associated with suicide, and the importance of talking about mental health from a young age.
Following the visit to St Thomas' The Duke, Duchess, Jonny and Neil travelled to Kensington Palace where they dropped in on a screening of a documentary about Jonny's experience and the #FindMike campaign.
Around 20 young people from a South London school were invited to watch the screening at Kensington Palace and then take part in a discussion, led by Jonny, Neil and Rethink Mental Illness.
Following this session, Their Royal Highnesses joined a private discussion with a group who have been bereaved in various ways by suicide to discuss their experiences and the support they have received since.

After a visit to Cuba in April 2015, Eliane and Lara share their "roadtrip" experience on "Notes of a Traveler". Staying in Cuban "casas" – private family establishments that provide paid lodging – allowed them to experience the local culture and traditions of Cuban families and live the "homey" and modest feel of this friendly place.
Destinations: Varadero, Guama, Havana, Trinidad.
Visa status: easy and fast, takes 1 week top.
Located in the province of Matanza and one of the largest resort areas in the Caribbean, Varadero is Cuba's most famous beach and a destination you don't want to miss. With more than 20km of white sandy beaches, beautiful clear water, and rich landscape, you've got everything you need to forget the world for a few days.
Available activities: scuba diving, sailing, snorkeling, swimming with the dolphins, safari. The best places to go to at night: The Beatles' pub (live bands), La Casa de La Musica (to dance), Bodeguita del Medio (famous restaurant and must-try).
The coconut station – our favorite daily stop.
The two-hour roadtrip to Guama offers beautiful scenery before reaching the province of Santiago de Cuba, on the Caribbean side, known also for its beautiful beaches and water activities.
Laguna del Tesoro: accessible only by boat, the "Treasure Lake" leads to a beautiful tourist resort named Villa Guama built on 10 small islands.
Sweet water swimming spot, Guama.
Welcome to the land of rum, cigars, vintage cars, salsa and mambo…the land of happiness and Che Guevara love. A first sight at the city makes you understand you've landed in a special place that's like nothing else. Losing yourself in Havana's streets is the best way to pick up its scent. Whether you take a stroll in its plazas, visit its colonial monuments and museums, or just walk the narrow streets of its old town, there's one thing that constantly strikes you: its unspoiled authenticity.
Nice bar to try: Casa de la Musica, Miramar.
Cuban bands playing on the streets, everywhere!
For the love of Che! – Che Guevera huge mural, Havana.
Four hours away from Havana by taxi, this 500-year old village is one of UNESCO's world heritage sites since 1988. One of the best preserved cities in the Caribbean, the village takes you back in time with the sound of its horses crossing the cobbled streets, its 200-year old enchanting houses, its many art galleries, its Italian ice cream shops, and its guitar players wandering its streets.
This charming area offers more to the eyes with its stunning beaches and mountains. We highly recommend not to miss the pleasure of horseback riding in the mountainous area of Trinidad, which leads you to a beautiful waterfall and natural pool.
Casa de la Musica terrace, Trinidad.
What to pack: essentials can be difficult to find in Cuba, especially that import is banned. This is why it's better to be equipped with the basic of toiletry and medication.
What to eat: seafood, rice and beans is what the main Cuban cuisine consists of. Make sure to try the typical churro dessert (fried-dough pastry) that you can find anywhere on the streets for 1 CUC (the local currency), the Sugar Cane Juice, the local Crystal cerveza, and definitely the Mojito and Pina Colada.
General tips: always bargain while shopping, you can get anything at half price!
Did you know? The country has 2 currencies, the Cuban Peso (CUP) for locals and the Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC) for tourists in substitution to foreign currencies, which is almost equal in value to the US dollar.

Q: Customizing nginx.conf on elastic beanstalk I need to customize keepalive_timeout settings in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file which defaults to 65 currently on elastic beanstalk ec2 instance.
I followed the following description but when I deploy new code I get nginx error like:

[emerg] 4551#0: "keepalive_timeout" directive is
  duplicate in /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf:2

Later I tried to directly update nginx.conf using sed as follow
files:
  "/etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf" :
    mode: "000755"
    owner: root
    group: root
    content: |
      client_max_body_size 200M;
      client_header_timeout   300;
      client_body_timeout     300;
      send_timeout            300;
      proxy_connect_timeout   300;
      proxy_read_timeout      300;
      proxy_send_timeout      300;
container_commands:
  01_update_nginx:
    command: "sudo sed -i 's/keepalive_timeout  65;/keepalive_timeout  360;/g' /etc/nginx/nginx.conf"
  02_restart_nginx:
    command: "sudo service nginx reload"

Which is not working again (value is not replaced). So I am looking for proper way to update/customize nginx.conf file. I tried something like this
which gives me an error like:

Service:AmazonCloudFormation,
  Message:[/Resources/AWSEBAutoScalingGroup/Metadata/AWS::CloudFormation::Init/prebuild_0_appname/files//opt/elasticbeanstalk/#etc#nginx#custom-nginx.conf]
  'null' values are not allowed in templates

A: If you want to go this sed route, the command should be this instead:
01_update_nginx:
  command: "sudo sed -i 's/keepalive_timeout  65;/keepalive_timeout  360;/g' /tmp/deployment/config/#etc#nginx#nginx.conf"

That's the location of the actual nginx.conf (and others, like e.g. 00_elastic_beanstalk_proxy.conf) that Beanstalk uses to replace the default file.
There is no need for the 02_restart_nginx command, you can remove that one (as of Aug'19).
I tested this on Beanstalk env with Node.js running on 64bit Amazon Linux/4.8.2. Overall though, it looks a bit hacky, you may want to consult with AWS support for the "official" way to customize nginx.conf.
