Do police escalate situations?
Oliver Hafner
According to Wexler, traditional police frequently increases contentious confrontations involving citizens. Police officers are instructed to never give up "Wexler stated. "He went on to say that in some cases, it's fine to back down or even leave the scene. But only do so if you're not putting yourself at risk of being hurt. ".
However, he continued, "sometimes when officers know they're going to win a confrontation, they'll deliberately make it appear like they were just defending themselves by using excessive force."
Wexler said this kind of behavior is most common with young black men. He explained that these individuals are more likely to be stopped by police officers who are looking for a reason to arrest them. If an officer thinks you might have a weapon, even if you don't, you can be arrested without cause.
In conclusion, Wexler said people should remember that police officers are just like everyone else and they get angry too. However, unlike others, they cannot take their anger out on your property or body because they are responsible for maintaining public order and safety.
It is important to understand that when police officers act alone, they are usually responding to an incident where they thought someone needed help but actually ended up getting charged with a crime.
Can the police tell you to move?
Is it the police's responsibility to protect?
How should you react when law enforcement arrives?
What steps do police officers take when faced with conflict?
How do the police preserve the peace?
If the police feel you are impeding the legitimate passage of another person in any public place, or if you (either individually or as part of a group) are being riotous or disorderly wherever, to the alarm, annoyance, or disturbance of the public, they have the authority to move you on. They can also use reasonable force to effect your removal where necessary.
In general, you should allow the police to do their job. However, there are times when you may be moved on by officers who want to carry out their duties safely and effectively. For example, if an officer believes that you may cause a danger if allowed to remain at your location, he may ask you to move on. If you refuse, then you could be charged with obstructing police officers.
It is important to understand that merely asking you to move on does not mean that you will necessarily be permitted to stay where you are. You should only respond to such requests if you have no intention of moving from your current location. Otherwise, you might find yourself arrested for failure to disperse.
Finally, keep in mind that people tend to misbehave during protests for various reasons. Some do so because they are protesting against something terrible and believe it is important to show their opposition. Others may be drunk or high on drugs and need to be taken home. Still others may just want to cause trouble for its own sake.
The police department's decision to remain silent is not absolute. The police, for example, have a responsibility to safeguard people with whom they have a "special connection," such as a prisoner, as well as those they have put in risk, such as by pulling over a car in heavy traffic. Officers of the law can also be held responsible for carelessness. If an accident occurs while an officer is performing his or her duty, the officer will be liable for any injuries or damage caused.
In general, crime prevention is the responsibility of each citizen. It is estimated that civilians prevented 8 million crimes in 2007. This equates to one in every 100 adults preventing a crime every day. However, even though most crimes can be prevented, this does not mean that all citizens take advantage of these opportunities. For example, studies have shown that black Americans are less likely than white Americans to use the "Call 911" option when threatened with violence. This suggests that racism may play a role in preventing some crimes against blacks.
Citizens should know their rights when dealing with the police. In most countries, civilians can request information from officers regarding their identity and reason for stopping them. They should also be aware that if they fail to cooperate they may be arrested.
It is important for citizens to realize that police officers need discretion when making decisions about whether to arrest someone.
It is critical that you maintain your cool and obey any directions they may give you.
Put down any items you may have including purses, jackets, bags, etc.
Make sure to keep your hands visible at all times.
Don't point, scream or yell.
And definitely don't make any quick movements toward the officers.
Police personnel are frequently called upon to intervene in conflict situations. These include everything from serving as a mediator in a marital disagreement to restoring order in a public riot. Individual officers have a great deal of leeway in how they address these issues. They can use non-violent means, such as discussion and persuasion; or they may be forced to use more forceful techniques, such as making an arrest or engaging in physical combat.
When faced with conflict, police officers must make a decision about how to resolve the situation. There are many factors that go into this decision, including the amount of force being used by each party, the nature of the dispute, and the officer's past experience dealing with similar problems. In some cases, it may be appropriate for officers to seek help from other members of the police department or from civil authorities.
In general, police officers try to resolve conflicts between people through discussion and consensus building. This is because many officers believe that violence only increases tensions and makes matters worse. When possible, they will try to find a peaceful way out of the conflict.
If this fails, then officers may need to resort to using more forceful measures. For example, if someone is attacking another person with their hands, then officers might need to stop them by applying a chokehold, which is when you wrap your arms around their body and cut off their air supply.
Keeping the Peace: Police are frequently called in to interfere in non-criminal situations such as crowd management, marital conflicts, parking, and pedestrians. If some of the aforementioned issues are not remedied, they may result in criminal charges. A police presence at this level may be sufficient to lessen the threat of crime. However, if there is a clear need for more officers, they can be assigned to other duties.
Criminals must also be kept under control. The two main tools used by police to do this are arrests and searches. An arrest is made when someone is taken into custody using either force or without resistance from the person being arrested. Searches can be performed on people or premises, with or without a warrant. A search that reveals evidence of crime is called "seizure". Seized items may include weapons, contraband (illegal goods), or information regarding other crimes. Contraband includes drugs and alcohol. Information regarding other crimes includes documents, photos, and computer storage media.
People have the right to remain silent. They also have the right to refuse consent to a search. Officers must get a warrant to search your home or office. Officers also need to have probable cause to make an arrest without first getting a warrant. If there is probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed, then an officer can make an arrest without a warrant.
The use of force by police is limited by law.

Scrooged Up!
Book By: Dan Roberts
Play #: 2329
Cast: 4 m, 6 w, 1 flexible, 1 child
The Hillsdale Community Theater wants to produce "A Christmas Carol," but they don't have enough actors to play the extraordinarily large number of parts. So their undaunted director, being resourceful (if not totally realistic), has triple and quadruple-cast the roles. And since everyone in sight has been recruited, the cast also fills in as costumers, stagehands and technicians. The impossibility of this situation brings tensions to a comical head as the final rehearsal invites one calamity after another. "Scrooged Up!" provides a Dickens of a time for everyone! About 30 minutes.

TALKS ABOUT "SCROOGED UP!"
Q.: WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE THIS PLAY?
A.: Actually, I didn't write it. I just copied down everything that happened when I tried to stage "A Christmas Carol" last year with only 10 actors. (It's getting harder and harder to find performers who aren't already doing that show somewhere else in town!) Fortunately, the tombstone fire closed us down before the audience had time to riot.
Q.: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PART OR LINE IN THE PLAY? WHY?
A.: As one who has spent most of his life in the dark at the back of theaters, my favorite is the director, Claude. It's therapeutic to realize there are other people who take joy in such an odd occupation.
Q.: WHERE DID THE CHARACTERS COME FROM? ARE THEY BASED ON PEOPLE YOU KNOW?
A.: I have met every one of them at one time or another. They are all of those dedicated, hard-working and often frustrated people who try to keep this thing called "theater" alive and healthy.
Q.: WHAT DID YOU TRY TO ACHIEVE WITH THIS PLAY?
A.: I wanted the audience to enjoy as much as we do those behind-the-scenes antics we relive year after year through stories in the green room. Sometimes, the real show takes place for weeks before that opening night curtain.
Q: DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?
A.: Our theater company has never had so much fun with any other show. We couldn't tell where the rehearsals ended and the production began.

Rosie the Riveter – I am not!
Hi all – I've returned from my summer hiatus with all new Peddler DIYs and Good News.
First – Good News – I am joining K n B's Marketplace as a new vendor starting 01 Aug! I am thrilled to have a booth again and could not ask for a better establishment to join. A real top notch local business! They are located in Fuquay Varina, NC at 120 Raleigh Street. Come see my latest Peddler Finds!
My latest DIY – well really this was made probably early June but I went to find a cool, shady spot for the summer but now I'm baaaaaccccckkkkkk.
We (myself and my silent TUP partner, aka My Wonderfully Patient Husband) made a photo frame using an old screen, rivets, and roof flashing. Now this blog is about posting all my DIYs not just the ones that turn out fabulous. What fun would that be if you didn't see the trials AND the tribulations? I am in awe of the many design and DIY blogs that make things seem effortless. Well, that's not this kind of blog. See, I'm no designer and every time I pick up a powertool (other than a sander or a drill) I shake with fear of possibly injuring myself. So, this post is one of those that make me a real DIYer because well…..let's just say somewhere between the idea and the execution things fell a little flat.
priced as $10 each – yowsers – too much – plus what would you do with them??
for what?? that's not the point – should have bought the screens…..
The Screens are still here!!!! How much do you want?
This is the fun part – letting my brain flood with ideas of how to re-purpose these screens – the not so fun part is my husband telling me to stop buying junk. Maybe I enjoy re-purposing because I'm an over-analyzer – I enjoy taking an item and flipping it over and over in my mind to visual what else it might be used for. How to re-invent it.
These screens were love at first site. I'm drawn to old and dusty but also find myself interested in natural materials – my love for jute, sisal, tin, wrought iron, etc. is endless. I knew I wanted to do an art piece or photo frame but sorting through the ideas in my head was not producing practical ideas. They were cute and I could visualize them looking ok but when brainstorming how to execute, things were just falling apart. I had decided to turn one of the screens into a photo frame but couldn't settle on the best way to have a photo "floating" on the screen. This is where my silent TUP partner introduced me to Rivets! I was going to use grommets but it wouldn't have worked. Grommets are for pretty fabrics – a Rivet, a rivet is like a grommet on steroids – they are for heavy metal.
Rosie the Riveter, I am not! She was riveting B-29 bombers and I couldn't even do ONE tiny rivet. I really like the way it turned out but unfortunately could not have done this project without my silent TUP partner. Not one, not even one tiny rivet could I do by myself.
Cut 1 roof flashing point to act as each photo corner. We used roof corner flashing so all we did was cut triangles using the angle measure to ensure we had 90 degree angles.
Drill holes in each of the 3 corners of the triangle flashing points – be cautious that you'll need extra room around the hole for the rivet rim to cover.
Attach the triangle flashing points to the screen with rivets using riveting tool.
Voila! One Wood Screen turned Photo Frame….
Ok – so let's be honest, I can sum this project up neatly into 4 steps. What really happened is My Silent TUP partner did everything except cutting the flashing points in Step 2, oh and I did drill a few of the flashing points in Step 3. Really for this DIY I was more the visionary, the supervisor – I give him credit for planning and executing this one but hey, if you don't have an idea then there is nothing to plan so I guess I'm still higher in the hierarchy.
Happy DIYing and come see my new inventory at KnB's.

Firewalls were developed over thirty years ago and function as the first line of defense for many business networks. This piece of network equipment is a perimeter defense that determines whether packets can move into or out of the network. While the basic concept of a firewall is simple, the way that it performs this function and the features it offers continue to evolve based on current threats.
Types of Firewalls
Firewalls come in two major categories: hardware and software. The physical firewalls are network appliances that connect to the rest of the IT infrastructure so it's able to monitor packets. There are several methods they can use to secure the network and assist with thwarting potential intruders.
Stateful
Stateful firewalls retain information about the connections being made. It offers good performance because this technology allows it to skip inspecting every single packet. Once it has inspected a connection, it allows it for subsequent packets.
Application-level
Application-level firewalls that are hardware based are designed to protect the application's connections. They address common attack methods used on that type of application, such as stopping cross-site scripting for a web application.
When someone thinks about a standard firewall, a proxy firewall is most likely what's on their mind. It stands between a host device and the data source and inspects the packets that are sent between them. This type of firewall may not stand up to complex attacks due to its simplicity, but it masks a lot of the network information.
Circuit-level
This firewall is another basic one that focuses on checking the TCP handshake. It's not resource intensive since it doesn't look at the packet, but that does mean that it won't protect against sophisticated attacks.
These firewalls have advanced features that give businesses more ways to stop malicious traffic from making it through the appliance. Some examples of these include deep packet inspection, checking attachments in sandboxes, and terminating encrypted traffic. Third-party data can be incorporated into the rules and filters of the firewall to improve protection against emerging threats. They can also incorporate technology that is found in other types of IT security hardware, such as intrusion detection. The drawback of this firewall type is that it can significantly slow down network traffic.
Software-based Firewalls
Virtual Appliance
This firewall is a software package that's installed on the business network and does not rely on a hardware appliance for protecting traffic.
Some applications have firewalls built into the software itself to act as a second layer of protection. Anything that gets through the physical firewall of the business network and reaches the application layer needs to go through another inspection. These firewalls focus on threats that are most common for that piece of software.
Cloud-based
A cloud-based firewall leverages cloud computing technology for the virtual appliance. Some advantages of a cloud firewall include the ability to scale quickly, high availability, and cost-efficiency. For organizations with limited IT budgets, using a cloud-based service can give them access to powerful features that they wouldn't have access to without paying a substantial upfront hardware fee.
The right firewall for your organization depends on the typical threats that you face, the sensitivity of the information you're protecting, and your performance requirements.

This is the third coffee in the Wild Forest series from the Las Brumas farm. Ernesto Menéndez has spent the last 8 years cultivating various coffee varieties under the forest canopy, in harmony with the existing ecosystem. This is a much slower and more difficult route; the plants took 7 years to be harvestable instead of 3 years elsewhere on the farm, and each year the cherries mature much slower than the rest of the farm and require picking later in the year. However, this slower maturation improves the sweetness and acidity of the coffee, and because the soil is a forest floor instead of highly cultivated land, there is an abundance of nutrients for the plants to thrive.
It is also much better for the surrounding environment. In intensive commercial farming, the land is stripped in order to plant as much coffee as possible, resulting in a monoculture which is ultimately bad for soil health and biodiversity. In general, specialty coffee is grown alongside shade trees and higher levels of biodiversity, but here Ernesto is taking it to the ultimate level and not removing the existing forest ecosystem at all.
Ernesto mainly grows Pacamara and SL28 in this area, and then processes them in three different ways. This coffee is a mix of both the Pacamara and SL28, and was processed using the washed method. This tends to create a cleaner and brighter coffee, which accentuates the acidity from both varieties.
It was coffee from the Wild Forest Project that our friend Dale Harris used to win the World Barista Championship in Seoul last year, and we're honoured to be able to showcase some of the coffees Ernesto has been growing in this unique manner.

If you're fortunate enough to have a big trip planned this summer, you might be worried about jet lag—a temporary sleep disorder caused by traveling across multiple time zones.
"Basically, jet lag boils down to being tired when you don't want to be, and then not being able to sleep when you want to," says Thomas Miller, MD, who practices at the UNC Internal Medicine Travel Clinic in Chapel Hill. He regularly sees patients planning international travel and provides relevant immunizations and medications for travel-related conditions such as malaria, hepatitis A, altitude sickness and traveler's diarrhea.
Most people, he says, just accept that jet lag comes along with long-distance travel. But there are some steps you can take to help deal with it.
First, why does jet lag happen? It has to do with our cells. Each of our bodies is governed by a circadian clock, which keeps us in proper physiological rhythm. Specifically, there are four genes—Cryptochrome, Period, CLOCK and BMAL1—that work in unison to control the cyclical changes in human physiology, such as blood pressure, body temperature and rest-sleep cycles.
The genetic mechanisms for how the circadian clock works in the body were discovered by UNC's own Aziz Sancar, MD, PhD, Sarah Graham Kenan Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics and 2015 Nobel Laureate.
When we try to fast-forward or rewind the natural 24-hour day, such as when we fly six time zones away, such as between North Carolina and Paris, our circadian clocks don't let us off easy; the genes and proteins need time to adjust. Jet lag is the feeling of our cells "realigning" to their new environment and the new starting point of a solar day.
When traveling east—say, to Europe—your body adjusts one hour per day. Going west—hello, Hawaii—it's an hour and a half per day.
Dr. Miller recommends that when you arrive at your destination, you adjust to local time as quickly as possible. Being exposed to the right kind of light can help speed up your adaptation.
If you are traveling east and arriving in the morning, get out and take in some sunshine. Exposing yourself to morning light can help your body adjust more quickly. It's OK to take a short nap if you are especially fatigued, but don't go to the hotel and crash for hours. If you are traveling west, taking in late afternoon light and even artificial evening light will help you make the adjustment to the new time.
As you try to get used to a new sleep schedule, Dr. Miller recommends trying melatonin supplements rather than other over-the-counter sleep aids, which can leave you feeling groggy. Melatonin is a natural hormone that regulates sleep.
Above all, Dr. Miller recommends focusing on the trip itself, not the symptoms of jet lag. There's no better medicine than enjoying your vacation.

Medical Examiner Identifies Man Who Was Killed By Muni Train Saturday Night
medical examiner MUNI SFFD SFMTA by Bay City News | February 16, 2014 11:24 am	| in News | 0
A man who was fatally struck by a San Francisco Municipal Railway train at the Powell Street Station on Saturday has been identified as 55-year-old Michael Mendez, according to the medical examiner's office.
The Muni train reportedly hit Mendez at the underground Powell Street station at around 2:40 p.m, San Francisco fire Lt. Robert Lopez said.
Mendez' body was found on the tracks, and he was pronounced dead at the scene, Lopez said.
Mendez, a transient, could have fallen from the platform onto the tracks in front of the outbound train, according to preliminary information from the police department.
Muni service between Van Ness Street and Embarcadero stations was disrupted for nearly four hours while the scene was cleared.

Understanding Plants - Part I: What a Plant Knows

Transcription de vidéo
For centuries we have collectively marveled at plant diversity and form—from Charles Darwin's early fascination with stems and flowers to Seymour Krelborn's distorted doting in Little Shop of Horrors. This course intends to present an intriguing and scientifically valid look at how plants themselves experience the world—from the colors they see to the sensations they feel. Highlighting the latest research in genetics and more, we will delve into the inner lives of plants and draw parallels with the human senses to reveal that we have much more in common with sunflowers and oak trees than we may realize. We'll learn how plants know up from down, how they know when a neighbor has been infested by a group of hungry beetles, and whether they appreciate the music you've been playing for them or if they're just deaf to the sounds around them. We'll explore definitions of memory and consciousness as they relate to plants in asking whether we can say that plants might even be aware of their surroundings. This highly interdisciplinary course meshes historical studies with cutting edge modern research and will be relevant to all humans who seek their place in nature. This class has three main goals: 1. To introduce you to basic plant biology by exploring plant senses (sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste, balance). 2. To introduce you to biological research and the scientific method. 3. To get the student to question life in general and what defines us as humans. Once you've taken this course, if you are interested in a more in-depth study of plants, check out my follow-up course, Fundamentals of Plant Biology (https://www.coursera.org/learn/plant-biology/home/welcome).

Great course - the professor is enthusiastic, engaging, and teaching complex concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand and remember, even for someone with no biology background.
Thumbs UpBesoin d'aide ?
I started this course with very little knowledge of biology and finished it with a solid foundation in plant biology. I'd recommend it to anybody wanting to learn more about plants.

This week we continue our systematic review of a plant's sensory systems by exploring responses to tactile stimulation (in other words, what a plant feels). We start with an overview of the mechano-sensory system that differentiates between different tactile stimulations, briefly review the way electricity is used in neural communication, and then explore how the Venus flytrap knows when to close, and what powers the opening and closing of the Mimosa leaves. We'll learn how plants change their structure to cope with windy conditions, and go over some of the rather complex biology that is involved in the genetic response in plants to being touched. I'll let you know what I think of the question, Do plants feel pain? And then we'll try to understand whether plants hear, and if they do, which music they prefer.

In the year 2000, the complete Arabidopsis genome was sequenced. And as I mentioned earlier in today's lecture, Arabidopsis has more or less 25,000 genes. But scientists were surprised to find that among these 25,000, are quite a number of genes that are known as human disease genes. For example, Arabidopsis contains the gene for breast cancer, Brca1 and Brca2. Arabidopsis contains the gene for cystic fibrosis, which is called CFTR. And Arabidopsis contains the gene for hereditary deafness. Why would plants contain genes for breast cancer, or for cystic fibrosis? When they obviously don't have breasts, and they obviously don't have lungs? Well the name of the gene can be a little bit misleading. We called it the gene for cystic fibrosis, or the gene for breast cancer, because mutations in these genes, when the genes are no longer functional, the disease happens. Brca, the breast cancer gene, has a function in fixing DNA, in DNA repair. When the DNA is not repaired properly, cancer forms. The cystic fibrosis gene has a essential role in the transport of salts, of ions in the, in the, in the body. When this doesn't function properly. We have respiratory problems, as in cystic fibrosis. So what about hereditary deafness? Well, mutations in many, many genes can cause different types of deafness. But one of them, one of the genes that's afflicted in hereditary deafness is a gene that's called myosin. Myosin is a gene which effects cell structure. And let's see what happens in the inner ear of mice that have a mutation in this gene. What we see here is a picture of the hairs in the inner ear. These are the hairs that vibrate when sound signals hit the ear. These hairs vibrate back and forth, and that lets the mouse know what type of sound it's hearing. The exact same process happens in the human ear. A mutation in one specific myosin gene, causes these hairs not to form. Here we see a picture of a deaf mouse. It's actually a mouse that cannot hear. And we can see that one of the reasons it can't hear, or the reason it can't hear is that it's hairs do not form properly. So that when the sound waves come, there's no hairs that vibrate. Arabidopsis contain this exact gene. So what happens when Arabidopsis is mutated for this myosin. Now obviously, Arabidopsis doesn't have ears, it doesn't have an inner ear for there to be hairs formed. But Arabidopsis roots and indeed, all roots do contain hairs, which we call these root hairs. And here, you could see in this picture what root hairs look like on Arabidopsis root. Now here's the very cool part. When there's a mutation in this myosin gene in Arabidopsis, these root hairs don't form. Does this mean that these plants are deaf? No of course not, because plants don't hear, and they definitely don't hear through their roots. The root hairs are necessary for the plant to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. So the myosin gene is necessary for a hairlike structure to be formed. In animals, this hairlike structure enables us to hear. In plants, this hairlike structure enables the plant to drink, to absorb water from its roots. The fact that Arabidopsis contains the genes for hereditary deafness, and for breast cancer, and for cystic fibrosis implies that all the organisms that preceded Arabidopsis and humans in evolution also had to have these genes. These are genes that are necessary for cellular function. So, if we look at evolution, these genes must have been present in the unicellular organisms which were the precursors of both plant life and animal life. These genes were necessary for all cells to survive. So, animals have these genes. Plants have these genes. At the cellular level, their function is the same. At the functional level of the organism, you're going to get different types of results. Ears, hairs, versus root hairs, for example. So are plants deaf? So far all the research seems to see seems to lead to that conclusion. But, I just want to leave us with the idea that maybe we're not actually doing the correct experiments. I mean, music is obviously the wrong experiment. If we think evolutionary what relevance is music for plant evolution? Plants have been evolving for over a million years. Music has been around for how long? Rock and roll has been around for 50 years? So obviously music was not an evolutionary pressure on plant development. But could there be ecologically relevant sounds that do affect how plants develop, how plants adapt to their environment? So maybe we need to be looking for what these sounds are. And I just want to talk about one experiment that was actually published in a very reputable journal, that shows that roots can bend towards subsonic vibrations. So this, in this picture, what we see are roots are bending in the direction from where the subsonic vibrations are coming from, from sounds that we're deaf to ourselves. So while this is intriguing, I just have to set, give a caveat here that these experiments and these results need to be validated. They need to re, be repeated in other labs and so that we can, until then we can't really conclude that plants respond to sound. I want to leave you with one last example of how the popular press can misrepresent signs. The New York Times reported on July 1st, 2014, that Noisy Predators Put Plants on Alert, Study Finds. This article starts with the following sentence. It has long been known that some plants can respond to sound. But why would a plant evolve the ability to hear? Now researchers are reporting that one reason may be to defend itself against predators. Well, I hope you can understand that this opening has two problems. One, as we've learned here, it has long not been known that some plants can respond to sound. Second, they completely misreported a very interesting study. So what this study? Well two scientists from the University of Missouri, Heidi Apple and Reginald Colecroft wanted to test whether the plants could respond to the noise of an insect's chewing jaws by producing protective insect repelling chemicals. Clearly such a noise and a response if they could find one, would be ecologically relevant. So let's look at their experimental design. First, they recorded the vibrations produced by the jaws of a caterpillar. As it was eating a leaf. To record these vibrations, they put caterpillars upon the leaf of a plant and using very sensitive equipment, they recorded the vibrations experienced by the fed upon leaf. Then to experimentally reproduce this, to reproduce the caterpillar feeding vibrations. They put what they called a piezoelectric actuators under the leaf and attach it to the leaf using mounting wax. When they played the vibrations back to the untreated leaves, the leaves produced a family, a family of chemicals called glucosinolates. These are chemicals that give mustard their sharp taste, and they also happen to be poisonous for caterpillars. So if you don't understand what this piezoelectric actuator actually is, you would think that plants listen to the sound of the caterpillars foraging. But in actuality, this device is a min, is a mini vibrator. Here is a picture of the setup from the article itself. As you can see, it's not the plant that's experiencing the sound, it's literally responding to a mini vibrator that's been glued to the underside of the leaf. Physically shaking the leaf, with the same vibrations that the insect does. So it's not that the plant is listening, it's feeling. I must add though that the scientists themselves never talked about the plants hearing, but only talked about it responding to vibrations. So yet again, and for the time being, we're let without conclusive evidence that plants hear. But, I should say, I am open to any experiment that will change this paradigm. Perhaps, into the future I'll have to change this class to report such studies. So to sum up today's lecture, which has been talking about tactile sensitivity in both humans and plants. Touch, leads to an electric signal. In humans, we've seen various modalities. There's mechano reception, there's temperature reception, there's pain, and there's hearing. In plants, there seem to be only a few modalities. There's definitely mechano reception, there's no pain, there seems to be no hearing. But there is responses to temperature which I haven't gone into. Plants can differentiate between cold and heat. So that sums up todays lecture we'll meet again next week.

Q: Overwrite CSS styles with no styles I have a div within a tag. The a tag has certain styles like color etc, which are also applied to the div tag. I do not want the styles of a tag to be applied to the div tag. Is there an easy way to do this?

A: This is how CSS (cascading style sheets) work. You would need to do.
a div { color: #f00; }

To override the color you set on the parent  tag.

A: As the
 tag is within the  tag, the CSS styles applied to the  tag will be inherited by the
 tag.
You can simply apply a CSS class to the
 tag which has the CSS styles that you need. So the class applied to the
 tag will override the parent  tag styles.

A: As others mentioned this is how CSS works, child inherits properties of its parents and if you don't want inherited property, you have to manually override.
But, there is small feature, special value auto value - if you use id for valid property eg. width that element won't get inherited value, but default calculated by browser.

Cynthia Lillian Lennon, rozená Cynthia Lillian Powell (10. září 1939 – 1. dubna 2015) byla manželka hudebníka Johna Lennona a matka Juliana Lennona. Vyrůstala v Hoylake ve Wirral Peninsula v Severozápadní Anglii. Ve 12 letech byla přijata na Junior Art School a později se přihlásila na Liverpool College of Art. Školu navštěvoval také Lennon a jejich stýkání se během hodin kaligrafie vyústilo v jejich vztah.

Když Lennon vystupoval v Hamburku s The Beatles, pronajala si Cynthia Lennonův pokoj od jeho tety, Mimi Smith. Poté, co Cynthia otěhotněla, se s Lennonem 23. srpna 1962 vzali. V roce 1968 ji však Lennon opustil kvůli Yoko Ono, rozvedli se 8. listopadu téhož roku. Do své smrti žila na Mallorce. Zemřela v dubnu 2015 na rakovinu.

Permission has been given for a dog championship show to be held at Lurgan Park in the summer.
The event – organised by Portadown Canine Club – will take place on Saturday, June 22.
Established in 1943, the club have previously held dog shows in Lurgan Park in conjunction with Lurgan Show.
But a number of years ago the club had to break away from the Show due to health and safety concerns surrounding dogs mixing with other animals on site.
Now Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council's leisure committee has agreed to the club hosting the championship at Lurgan Park.
It has also agreed to allow trade stands and catering sales to set up on site during the show.
Lurgan Park will remain open as normal for the duration and there will be free admission.
Council's leisure committee was informed this week: "The competition is to take place at the area previously used for football and competitors will be allowed vehicle access to the park via the Avenue Road gates, and this will be marshalled by volunteers from the dog show committee.
"The football pitches will be open to pedestrians during the day, however there will be marshals on the paths / junctions and signage to advise anyone entering the show zone that they must have their dog on leads.
Gazebos, rings and bins will be put in place on the Friday, the day before the big event, and the organising committee will also be making use of the cricket pavilion for the judges throughout the day.

John Saunders was one of the most successful sportscasters in America. Yet depression tormented him throughout his life. Those who saw him on TV covering college football or hosting ESPN's The Sports Reporters had no idea what he was going through when the cameras were off.
Shortly before his death of natural causes in 2016, Saunders completed work on his book, Playing Hurt: My Journey from Despair to Hope. In the book, he chronicles his lifelong battles with depression, which he largely concealed from the public. He wrote the book with the idea that by sharing his story, he could provide hope for those who have suffered like he did. Mitch Albom wrote the forward, while Saunders collaborated with New York Times bestselling author John U. Bacon to complete the book.
Playing Hurt is our selection for the May meeting of LTPL's Generation Next Book Group. Our meeting is on May 23 at 6:30 p.m. at the Red Brick Cafe, 8952 1st Street in Baroda. This will be one of several programs we are looking to roll out over the next year related to mental health.
We invite patrons 18 and up to join us on May 23 for our discussion of Playing Hurt. Pick up a copy at the circulation desk, and come prepared to have a thoughtful discussion on working through depression and helping those who need it. While the story Saunders tells is difficult to read, it is important to discuss what he has to say.


A school district in Westminster, Colorado, just north of Denver, is investigating a teacher who allegedly said she wanted to "cleanse" her classroom of "evil spirits" and brought out tarot cards.
The story comes from local Fox affiliate KDVR, which posted a student's video of the incident.
"The district is conducting a full and thorough investigation and until the issue is resolved, the teacher in question will not be in the classroom," said a statement from Adams County District 50.
KDVR reported that just before Halloween, students at Hidden Lake High School in Westminster were in an art class taught by an instructor identified only as Mrs. Mitchell.
"Out of nowhere, I heard her come out and say I am going to do a cleansing, guys, to cleanse all the evil spirits from the classroom," one student told KDVR.
The student's identity was withheld by the station at her mother's request.
She described how two students drew the death card.
"She was like it doesn't particularly mean death but it's not good," the student said.

Queensland's 'Centre of Philanthropy'
Monday, 10th December 2001 at 12:12 pm
A new Centre of Philanthropy and Not for Profit Studies has been established within the Faculty of Business at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane, Australia.
Monday, 10th December 2001
The Centre was officially launched by the Governor of Queensland, Major General Arnison, AC on Monday, 26th November 2002. More than 100 people including Mr Michael Myer of the Myer Foundation and Mr John Reid of the Reid Family Trusts, major donors to the Centre, attended the function.
Recurrent funding for three years has been secured from these large Australian philanthropic foundations and QUT has also committed significant funding to the Centre.
Michael Myer spoke at the launch saying there is a need to reinvigorate philanthropy in Australia with some of the new insights provided by "venture philanthropy".
John Reid told the audience that Australian Universities need to coordinate and cooperate their research and teaching programs to ensure that the scarce resources available for the study of philanthropy and Not for Profit organisations are used to their maximum potential.
From February 2002, Centre staff will offer four postgraduate units as a Graduate Certificate in Business (Philanthropy and Not for Profit Studies) focussed on issues relevant to philanthropy and the Third sector.
It is designed to provide the community sector practitioners and postgraduate students with an advanced education in what organisers say has been a neglected area.
The Centre aims to attract postgraduate research students and well-established researchers who will build on the body of knowledge of the Not for Profit sector in Australia.
The Centre will shortly be announcing the appointment of the inaugural Myer Foundation Principal Research Fellow following an extensive international advertising campaign. This appointment, together with the appointment of an Adjunct Professor in Philanthropy will help to provide research leadership for the growing number of postgraduate research students now working within the Centre.
The Centre will continue and expand on the valuable community service work of the Program on Not for Profit Corporations (PONC) which offers educational advice and consulting services under the leadership of Associate Professor Myles McGregor-Lowndes.

Production-Spec Czinger 21C Hypercar Revealed With Record Breaking Performance
By Zero2Turbo June 1, 2021 No Comments
Remember the wild-looking 21C hypercar by Czinger that made waves last year? Well, it is back and it is in production spec.
The 21C is the first model in a series of exclusive performance vehicles and will be limited to just 80 units worldwide. Additive manufacturing technologies were used for each component and was computationally engineered using AI.
Since its introduction in 2021, the car has received some significant updates such as an increase in width to 2,050 metres. Since it packs 1,250 PS (1,233 hp; 919 kW) and features a dry weight of under 1,240 kg, the 21C achieves a true 1:1 power-to-weight ratio. It also features all-wheel drive with a strong hybrid powertrain.
This powertrain consists of an in-house developed 2.88-litre, flat crank V8 with twin turbos located mid-vehicle which works in conjunction with two high output electric motors, each powering a front wheel with torque vectoring. The total output as previously mentioned is 1,233 hp (919 kW) but this can be cranked up to 1,332 hp (993 kW) with an optional power upgrade.
Power is sent to the wheels via an ultra-light, sequential seven-speed automated manual transmission gearbox.
The hypercar has a top speed of 281 mph (452 km/h) in optional low drag vmax configuration. The driver and passenger are placed in the centre position for "ultimate weight distribution, aero and driver engagement"
The quarter-mile time is claimed to be 8.1 seconds while the 0 to 100 km/h (96 mph) time is just 1.9 seconds. Keep holding your foot flat and you will reach 300 km/h (186 mph) from standstill in 8.5 seconds while 0 to 400 km/h (248 mph) is dealt with in 21.3 seconds. If these claims are accurate, then it would comfortably become the fastest production car over a quarter-mile beating out the freshly revealed Rimac Nevera.
The 21C is highly customizable both from a specification and individual personalization perspective. Presented in two fully homologated specifications, a lightweight high downforce configuration and a low drag configuration, both cars are powered by Czinger's in-house powertrain and display its iconic design language and in-line seating architecture.
These are all claims, for now, so let's wait and see what transpires once the production units start to roll out of the factory and on to testing grounds.

CHICAGO — As a child, Mishari Zambrano stepped into a circus tent with her mother and felt transformed. The swooping acrobats, thrilling music and kaleidoscopic light show of Cirque du Soliel sealed her love of the arts.
As a student in The Theatre School at DePaul University, Zambrano worked to make sure more people, including those with disabilities, could have access to theatre. Recently, she assisted with the production of DePaul's first sensory-friendly performance for children with autism.
Zambrano will graduate June 10 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theatre management and will be a first-generation college graduate, but not for long.
Zambrano's mother, Reina Magaña-Goodman, is enrolled in DePaul's School for New Learning, where she is studying multicultural leadership alongside her colleagues. A first generation Mexican-American, Magaña -Goodman put her own college dreams on hold to raise her daughter. She is set to graduate from DePaul University next year.
As a child, Magaña-Goodman's parents brought her from Mexico to Chicago. She watched as her sisters went on to pursue higher education, but she had to focus on raising her young family. During her 27-year career in banking, Magaña-Goodman has risen through the ranks and broken down barriers as a minority woman without a college degree.
All along, her daughter was paying attention. "Being a mission-driven person is how I grew up," said Zambrano. She tagged along as her mother volunteered on a local nonprofit's board of directors, where Magaña-Goodman now serves as vice chair, and helped pack boxes when they collected school supplies to children. Those lessons stuck, and Zambrano started thinking about a career in fundraising for the arts.
"As a first-generation college student, telling my mom that I was going to major in theatre was an interesting conversation. But she supported me the whole way," said Zambrano.
At DePaul, Zambrano found many outlets for her interests. She served as director of special events for DemonTHON, the 24-hour dance marathon on campus that raises funds for Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Her business management, and media and communications minors helped her land an internship with the city of Chicago's office of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. Additionally, she used her burgeoning event-planning skills and co-founded a DePaul chapter of the national honors fraternity Phi Sigma Pi, where she organized networking events and other workshops.
The heart of Zambrano's time at DePaul, however, has been in The Theatre School.
As an assistant to theatre manager Leslie Shook, Zambrano learned ways to make theatre productions accessible to non-traditional audiences. She took classes in American Sign Language and created video tours of DePaul's theatres and their accessibility features, which give patrons a sense of what to expect when they arrive to watch a show. When parents of children with autism showed interest in a performance adapted for their needs, the team stepped up. Zambrano helped with research and execution of those efforts.
After graduation, Zambrano will spend the summer as a special events and development assistant at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts. Her dream is to someday work in development at a large arts nonprofit in Chicago. "There's so much art, and so many places and so much food and things to do in the city. Chicago is my home, and I want to stay," she said.
No matter what happens, Zambrano will be back next spring for her mother's graduation.

Carolyn Maloney Endorses Alessandra Biaggi For State Senate
Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney is endorsing Alessandra Biaggi for State Senate in District 34 in the Democratic primary on Thursday, September 13.
"Just as we need to retake the House, it's essential that the New York State Senate become and remain truly Democratic," Maloney said. "It's way past time to pass a state Equal Rights Amendment, provide access to family planning, fix the tenant protection rules, strengthen our public education system, and so much more that a solid Democratic State Senate can do to protect all New Yorkers. I'm endorsing Alessandra Biaggi because I know she will be a leader in passing that legislation and in standing up for her district and all New Yorkers."
"It is an exceptional honor to be endorsed by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, a ground breaking woman legislator with a long list of accomplishments," Biaggi said. "I hope to learn from her how to be an effective fighter for New Yorkers."

In order to succeed in Forex trading, you should exchange information with others, but always follow what your gut tells you. Take all the free advice you can get, but in the end, make decisions that follow your own instincts.
Maintain two trading accounts that you use regularly. You want to have one that is for your real trading and a demo trading account that you play around with to test the waters.
Up market and down market patterns are a common site in foreign exchange trading; one generally dominates the other. One of the popular trends while trading during an up market is to sell the signals. It is important to follow the trends when making trades.
If you keep changing your stop losses, hoping that the market will rebound, chances are you'll just lose even more money. Become successful by using your plan.
Utilize margin with care to keep your profits secure. Trading on margin can be a real boon to your profits. Carelessly using margin can lose you more than what your profits would have been. It is best to only use a margin when your position in the market is stable and the chance of a downturn is minimal.
There are many traders that think stop loss markers can be seen, and will cause the value of that specific currency to fall below many other stop loss markers prior to rising again. This is an incorrect assumption and the markers are actually essential in safe Foreign Exchange trading.
Do not put yourself in the same place in the same place. Some foreign exchange traders have developed a habit of using identical size opening positions which can lead to committing more or less money than is advisable. Your position needs to be flexible in Foreign Exchange trading so as to make the most of a changing market.
You don't need to buy any automated software system in order to practice Forex using a demo account. You can just go to the Forex website and look for an account there.
Placing a successful stop loss depends more on skill than cold, hard facts in the Foreign Exchange market. It will take time do increase your rate of success while you work to use your gut instinct in conjunction with science. To master stop losses, you need a lot of experience and practice.
You can make a lot of profits when you have taught yourself all you can about foreign exchange. Keep your ear to the ground for any changes in the market. Keep updated, and stay ahead of the curve. Stay ahead of the game by reading only the most recent foreign exchange news and tips.


How affordable is South African property, really?
Will there be a better opportunity to buy property than now? Has the South African property market seen the worst? Do house prices have much further to fall? These are questions that have been troubling individuals pondering whether they should delay a decision to get onto the property ladder.
This week John Loos and Ewald Kellerman of FNB Home Loan's property market analytics' division issued a report aiming to shed light on whether South African property is priced out of the range of ordinary buyers' pockets – and whether we can expect to feel more financially comfortable buying property in future.
It's a difficult question to answer, as Loos's and Kellerman's number-crunching shows.
On the one hand, looking at average house prices in relation to average incomes, we appear to be more-or-less back at the average level. This would suggest that our houses aren't over- or under-priced.
On the other hand, another reading of the material could suggest we have a way to go before South African residential property becomes "affordable". As Loos and Kellerman argue, if you believe that the period in the late 1990s is where prices should be, dark times loom for property sellers.
You might recall that you could probably buy a flat on Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard stretch for the price of a BMW in the late 1990s, such was the depressed state of the property market. These days, you could buy more than one BMW, and maybe even several, for the price of a studio apartment in that prime stretch of real estate.
Say the two property-watchers in their report: "For those who believe that long term trend averages should be the level to which a market should always return, that should signal that the recent market correction has more-or-less been completed. For those who see the very good affordability levels of the late 1990s as 'normal', implying that this decade's property boom was perhaps irrational, the 'correction' still has a long way to go before being completed."
The latter is economist-speak for "get set for the house price crash".
More likely, though, is a scenario in-between. The better-than-usual affordability of the 1990s should be seen in the economic context of those times, and we should pay heed to the broader economic picture now when looking at the graphs.
Loos and Kellerman comment that South Africa suffered from economic stagnation from the 1980s until the early-90s, and experienced extreme interest rate levels until 1998/99. "Those were days when households had to be more cautious with their borrowing, confidence was lower, and at mediocre growth rates it was relatively easy for the development/construction sector to create oversupplies at any hint of a demand surge. All of this created the environment for a better affordability reading than stronger economic times. The better-than-average affordability levels were therefore appropriate for the times," they say.
This decade has been another story. South Africa has seen a return to real economic growth rates similar to those last seen in the late-1960s/early-1970s.
"Simultaneously, due to the country's consumer price inflation having been on a two-decade-long broad decline, and due to a move to official inflation targeting, we saw interest rates dropping to levels also resembling those relatively low ones last seen in the 1970s."
Under such improved conditions, Loos and Kellerman believe "a significant price rise and affordability deterioration was inevitable, and early-1970s levels of affordability would appear to have become more appropriate as the economy's performance 'normalised' post-isolation".
Should you buy now, then? The FNB report hints that there's no need to hurry your property-purchasing decision, particularly in the light of the fact that the world is still trying to shake off recession. Loos and Kellerman don't think the market has finished "correcting".
The next decade looks like it is set to start with nominal property price growth slower than wage and salary increases. That in turn suggests a property purchase will feel more manageable later rather than sooner.
Longer-term, though, Loos and Kellerman see a picture of declining affordability. Instead of paying more for big homes, we are increasingly going to buy homes with smaller plots and fewer bedrooms closer to work. Already, there has been a sharp decline in the number of properties being built with domestic quarters.
In a nutshell, we will get less property for the same price. That, say Loos and Kellerman, is good news for property investors and bad news for those hoping to pick up a comfortable middle-class lifestyle like their parents enjoyed.

Fair Grounds Field Could be Demolished
By Zach Spedden on August 23, 2019 in At the Ballpark, Endangered Ballparks
Shreveport, LA's Fair Grounds Field, a former affiliated minor league and independent baseball home, could be demolished under a bond proposal that will go before voters in November.
Originally built in 1986, Fair Grounds Field opened as home of the Shreveport Captains (Class AA; Texas League). The franchise would later rebrand as the Swamp Dragons, before relocating to Frisco, TX following the 2002 season. Independent-league baseball would end up filling a void of professional baseball at the facility, but no professional team has used the ballpark since the Shreveport-Bossier Captains (independent; American Association) played their final season there in 2011.
Over the years since, Fair Grounds Field's condition has gradually deteriorated and now a plan to demolish the ballpark is being floated. A $186-million bond proposal that will go before voters in November would include $1 million to demolish Fair Grounds Field, allowing the site to be reused for parking. Details of the plan were discussed at a community meeting Thursday night. More from the Shreveport Times:
SPAR director Shelly Ragle told those in attendance at a community meeting at Southern Hills recreation center on Thursday night that the stadium demolition is part of the bond proposal. Her mention of the $1 million project drew a negative reaction from several in attendance, but no one asked her a question about the stadium during the question-and-answer session.
The $1 million for demolition was not in the presentation before the City Council on Aug. 13. The proposal calls for the stadium to be demolished and turned into a parking lot.
"The councilman from that district …. decided that this was a great opportunity," Ragle said.
The election is scheduled for November 16.

A love story to be thankful for
I wonder if you're as thankful as I am at the promise of a more typical summer this year.

I read all your comments and emails, and my heart goes out to you. When we least expect it, life can have a way of handing us what we aren't prepared for. It certainly did for me earlie
Summer by the River - signed copies, recipes, and more
I suspect you're equally excited to begin this fresh new year. I'm quite thankful that those I'm closest to haven't been too adversely affected by the pandemic and were able to spend some of last year exploring new hobbies and knocking out house projects. As a writer, I'm naturally introverted, and many of my favorite pastimes like hiking, gardening, and cooking were there to fall back on when I needed solace from the weighty news rocking the world in so many different
