Q: Having troubling identifying the CSS and pulling the right CSS from a Web page I am trying to re-create the "card-deck" class which contains eight cards, displayed on this page: https://www.portland.gov/transportation . While I was able to copy the html(by inspecting the card-deck class) , I am not sure how to find the CSS for the class="card-deck".
Here is my jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/LeamJack/dnwgrxtk/1/ . As you can see,I have the html for the card-deck class, but what is the efficient way of getting the CSS just for the the card-deck class?

A: You can inspect the element using most browsers.
For example in Chrome, you can right-click on one of the card elements and click Inspect. The DevTools panel will open, from there you can choose any element on the page and see it's css.
I can see the card-panel class has the following css:
.card-deck {
    display: -webkit-box;
    display: flex;
    -webkit-box-orient: horizontal;
    -webkit-box-direction: normal;
    flex-flow: row wrap;
    margin-right: -15px;
    margin-left: -15px;
}

Then each of the nested cards have their own css that you'll have to replicate.
Additionally, you can see in the <head> element they are linking to two css files.
https://www.portland.gov/sites/default/files/css/css_Nap32wA4jB85LBZMJhLbUh8juJthC1U6LI-74yu_d5Y.css

and
https://www.portland.gov/sites/default/files/css/css_z4fhgF_myzmhopAFzinwvvWR4bdcPakuk6TPD5OyoaY.css

you can copy these files to a code beautifier like https://beautifier.io/
then search for the card-deck class and copy the css from there. It looks like the 2nd stylesheet is the one with the css you are looking for:
This is all the card related css I found by quickly looking at the stylesheet in the beautifier:
Note: you probably don't need all of this css for what you are trying to do.

Sailing continued with the keenest racers turning out in the wintry winds over the past two weekends for the Cool Down Series races 5 – 8.
On 20 the November, 5 boats left the start line in sunny but cold conditions, a light, shifty NW wind making course setting difficult. Two youth competitors, Fraser are and Cameron Moss took part, but both races of the day went to Jerry Rook in his Albacore although Fraser made a second place as did Ray Waspe , both in Lasers.
The 27th November saw a bigger turnout of 12 boats in a cold NE force 3, with 10 finishers. Club members were joined by visitor Sam Pascoe with Harvey, who sailed Dom Bowns' Merlin to first place in both race 7 and 8. Sam is one of the top sailors in the country, current International 14 world champion but also successful in several other classes, he comes from Lyme's sister club, Castle Cove. Dom, with Jake Stow crewing, sailed his new Jon Turner Merlin, racing for the first time, to a close second in race 7, less than a minute behind the leader, followed after 3 seconds by Jerry Rook and Chet Gillespie. Cameron and Darrol Moss, finding the reaching angles favourable in race 8, chased Sam to finish second on a one minute difference.
Jerry Rook leads the series on 5 points, Cameron and Darrol second with 12.

Description About OF A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw
Travis Wren has an unusual talent for locating missing people. Hired by families as a last resort, he requires only a single object to find the person who has vanished. When he takes on the case of Maggie St. James—a well-known author of dark, macabre children's books—he's led to a place many believed to be only a legend.
Called Pastoral, this reclusive community was founded in the 1970s by like-minded people searching for a simpler way of life. By all accounts, the commune shouldn't exist anymore and soon after Travis stumbles upon it…he disappears. Just like Maggie St. James.
Years later, Theo, a lifelong member of Pastoral, discovers Travis's abandoned truck beyond the border of the community. No one is allowed in or out, not when there's a risk of bringing a disease—rot—into Pastoral. Unraveling the mystery of what happened reveals secrets that Theo, his wife, Calla, and her sister, Bee, keep from one another. Secrets that prove their perfect, isolated world isn't as safe as they believed—and that darkness takes many forms.
Hauntingly beautiful, hypnotic, and bewitching, A History of Wild Places is a story about fairy tales, our fear of the dark, and losing yourself within the wilderness of your mind.

TV Review: CASTLE – Season 4 – "An Embarrassment of Bitches"
By ANNE LOUISE BANNON 01/25/2012
Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas, Penny Johnson Jerald Writer: Rob Hanning Director: Thomas J. Wright Network: ABC, Monday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: January 23, 2012 Let's just get this out of the way, "An Embarrassment of Bitches" is referring to the dogs. Bitch is a perfectly legitimate term for a female dog and is commonly used in dog show circles, where this episode of CASTLE opens. At first, it looks like we're going to have a lovely take-off on Best In Show, with all the jealousy and sniping, but since it turns out that […]Read On »
TV Review: CASTLE – Season 4 – "Dial M For Mayor"
Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas, Penny Johnson Jerald Writer: Christine Boylan Director: Kate Woods Network: ABC, Monday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: January 16, 2011 If ever ABC did not do CASTLE any favors, it was with this episode, "Dial M for Mayor." The promos made it look like Det. Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) and crime-solving author dilletant Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) were going to be facing a serious rift in their good friendship over Castle's support of his buddy Mayor Robert Weldon (Derek Webster). Nope. Have to take note – this episode was […]Read On »
TV Review: CASTLE – Season 4 – "Till Death Do Us Part"
Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas, Penny Johnson Jerald Writer: David Grae Director: Jeff Bleckner Network: ABC, Monday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: January 9, 2011 For those who bemoaned the darker turn CASTLE had taken earlier this season, they have nought to complain about in "Till Death Do Us Part." It is the final few days before Det. Kevin Ryan's (Seamus Dever) wedding to Jenny Duffy-O'Malley (played by Seamus Dever's real-life wife Juliana Dever) and a body has dropped out of a hotel window onto a fruit stand. Turns out the stiff has two names […]Read On »
TV Review: CASTLE – Season 4 – "Cuffed"
Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas, Penny Johnson Jerald Writer: Terri Edda Miller and Andrew W. Marlowe Director: John Terleskey Network: ABC, Monday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: December 5, 2011 I have to give writers Terri Edda Miller and Andrew W. Marlowe a lot of credit for finding a legitimate way to tell a story in flashback (a tactic I usually find lazy and abhorrent). They start the "Cuffed" episode of CASTLE with crime-solving author Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Det. Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) waking up hand-cuffed together. The flashback scenes happen […]Read On »
TV Review: CASTLE – Season 4 – "Kill Shot"
Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas, Penny Johnson Jerald Writer: Alexi Hawley Director: David M. Barrett Network: ABC, Monday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: November 22, 2011 At first it seems like the normal banter between Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) and author consultant Richard Castle (Nathan Filion) as they walk to the crime scene in the "Kill Shot" episode of CASTLE . Then Beckett lets it drop that she's still in physical therapy as part of her recovery from the gun shot wound she got at the end of last season when a […]Read On »
Exclusive Interview: Colm Meaney is HELL ON WHEELS
On AMC's new series HELL ON WHEELS, Sundays at 10 PM, American Civil War Confederate veteran Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) is on the trail of the people who murdered his wife. To that end, he takes a job with the Union Pacific Railroad, working on construction of what will be the first North American transcontinental railroad at the same time he seeks vengeance. The man in charge of this gargantuan rail expansion is Thomas "Doc" Durant, played by Colm Meaney. Durant may come across as a larger than life figure, but the man is a part of real American history, […]Read On »
TV Review: CASTLE – Season 4 – "Heartbreak Hotel"
Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas, Penny Johnson Jerald Writer: Elizabeth Davis Director: Bill Roe Network: ABC, Monday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: November 7, 2011 Aside from the flashback which begins "Heartbreak Hotel," this is one of those episodes that go back to the fun and witty CASTLE that we all know and love. Not happy about the flashback – flashback storytelling is just a lame way to build excitement at the beginning of a show when it does not need it. Nor did this one even come close to playing trough. Blech. […]Read On »
TV Review: CASTLE – Season 4 – "Cops and Robbers"
Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas, Penny Johnson Jerald Writer: Terence Paul Winter Director: Bryan Spicer Network: ABC, Monday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: October 31, 2011 Those CASTLE fans looking for the usual light-hearted banter, witty repartee and twists and turns aren't going to like this episode. Because this one is the other side of the series featuring crime fiction author Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) and his real-life muse Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) solving crimes together. The show has always featured some heavier, more dramatic episodes – it has to, it would […]Read On »
TV Review: CASTLE – Season 4 – "Demons"
Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas, Penny Johnson Jerald Writer: Rob Hanning Director: Bill Roe Network: ABC, Monday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: October 24, 2011 "Demons" is a marvelously made episode of CASTLE and I absolutely hated it. Okay, the truth comes out, I am a world-class weenie and creepy stuff just plain freaks me. Do. Not. Like. It. However, it's CASTLE, and even if I don't like scary stuff, the episode was nonetheless outstanding. When the star of a ghost hunting TV show gets murdered in the house he's investigating, it looks more […]Read On »

Northern Sotho is one of the Sotho languages of the Bantu family. Northern Sotho is thus most closely related to Southern Sotho (mostly referred to as just Sesotho), Setswana, sheKgalagari and siLozi. It is a standardized dialect, amalgamating several distinct varieties or dialects.
Until recently, Lobedu (also Khilovedu or Khelobedu) used to exist only in an unwritten form, and the standard Northern Sotho language and orthography was usually used for teaching and writing by this language community. As of 2018, a Khilovedu dictionary is being compiled in addition to proper Khilovedu orthography which is also in the process of being developed. The monarch associated with this language community is Queen Modjadji (also known as the Rain Queen). Lobedu is spoken by a majority of people in the Greater Tzaneen, Greater Letaba, and BaPhalaborwa municipalities, and a minority in Greater Giyani municipality, as well as in the Limpopo Province and Tembisa township in Gauteng. Its speakers are known as the Balobedu.
Sepulana (also sePulane) exists in unwritten form and forms part of the standard Northern Sotho. Sepulana is spoken in Bushbuckridge area by the MaPulana people.
Northern Sotho is often equated with the dialect it is primarily based on, Sepedi, and continued to be known as Pedi or Sepedi for some years after the new South African constitution appeared. However, the Pan South African Language Board and the Northern Sotho National Lexicography Unit now specifically endorse the names Northern Sotho or Sesotho sa Leboa.
The original confusion arose from the fact that the (now official) Northern Sotho written language was based largely on the Sepedi dialect (from which missionaries first developed the orthography), but has subsequently provided a common writing system for 20 or more varieties of the Sotho-Tswana languages spoken in the former Transvaal. The name "Sepedi" thus refers specifically to the language of the Pedi people, while "Northern Sotho" refers to the official language of that name and to all the speech varieties it has been taken to cover.
The English version of the Constitution of South Africa refers to the language as "Sepedi". Its official translation into the language refers to it as "Sesotho sa Leboa" in the article about languages, but as "Sepedi" on the front page.
Apart from the Sepedi dialect itself, other languages or dialects covered by the term "Northern Sotho" appear to be a diverse grouping of communal speech-forms within the Sotho-Tswana group. They are apparently united by the fact that they are classifiable neither as Southern Sotho nor as Tswana.
The morphological and possible lexical variation among these dialects has led to the above assertion that 'Northern Sotho' is no more than a holding category for otherwise unclassified Sotho-Tswana varieties spoken in northeastern South Africa. Maho (2002) leaves SePhalaborwa and the "East Sotho" varieties of SeKutswe, SePai, and SePulana unclassified within Sotho–Tswana. Their precise classification would appear to be a matter for further research.
Northern Sotho is written in the Latin alphabet. The letter š is used to represent the sound [ʃ] ("sh" is used in the trigraph "tsh" to represent an aspirated "ts" sound). Circumflex accent can be added to the letters e and o to distinguish their different sounds, but it is mostly used in language reference books. Some word prefixes, especially in verbs, are written separately from the stem.
Within nasal consonant compounds, the first nasal consonant sound is recognized as syllabic. Words such as nthuša "help me", are pronounced as [n̩tʰuʃa]. /n/ can also be pronounced as /ŋ/ following a velar consonant.
Urban varieties of Northern Sotho, such as Pretoria Sotho (actually a derivative of Tswana), have acquired clicks in an ongoing process of such sounds spreading from Nguni languages.
I am fine Ke gona.
I am fine too, thank you Le nna ke gona, ke a leboga.

Looking Back at the End of a Secular Bear Market
Posted October 12, 2016 by Michael Batnick
This week in 1982 marked a major milestone in the history of the stock market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 1,000- its highest levels in nearly a decade- and it was on the precipice of saying sayonara to a 16-year bear market. A new secular bull market was right around the corner and the S&P 500 would go on to advance 1650% over the next 17 years, or 18.3% a year.
I looked through the New York Times archive to see what they were saying this week. Nothing too surprising really, it's not as if I was expecting to see something like "goodbye bear, hello bull" or "put all of your money and all that you can borrow into the stock market right now." Instead, what was printed is exactly what you would expect to see at the tail end of a long bear market, bad news and lots of skepticism.
As the stock market soared, seemingly out of nowhere, economists were left scratching their heads. This quote really sums up the general attitude at the time.
"The question now for economists is what produced these wonders at a time of almost unrelievedly bad economic news."
Here are some more headlines and excerpts from this week in 1982, enjoy.
"Yesterday, the Dow jumped 20.88 points, finishing at 986.85, just 13.15 points away from the 1,000 mark. The last time it closed that high was on June 23, 1981, at 1,006.66. The "Reagan high," as it was dubbed on Wall Street, came on April 27 of last year, when the Dow finished at 1,024.05."
"Since Aug. 12, the Dow has climbed 209.93 points, or 27 percent. Never before has the average registered a point gain of this magnitude in a two-month period."
October 9, 1982- WEEK IN BUSINESS; A SURGE TO 10.1% IN UNEMPLOYMENT
"America's unemployment rate in September crossed the double-digit point for the first time since 1940, to 10.1 percent, the Labor Department reported Friday. Nearly 11.3 million people were unemployed – 450,000 higher than in August and a rise of more than 3 million in the last 12 months."
"Retail sales were sluggish in September, the nation's major retailers reported. Of the five largest, two reported sales declines, while the other three – including Sears, the industry leader – said sales rose less than 3 percent."
October 9, 1982- DOW SOARS 20.88 MORE,TO 986.85
"Analysts said that many of the institutions had invested cautiously in the market's upswing during mid-August, when interest rates first started to decline, and through September, when the Dow soared more than 150 points, and were now apparently fearful of missing out in the latest rally."
"With unemployment still rising, the stubborn stock market rally that began in August escalated last week and the bond market strengthened as investors anticipated lower interest rates."
October 11, 1982- Volcker's Talk Stirs Cautious Optimism
"Consumers remain conservative in their buying habits."
October 11, 1982- Further Rate Drops Predicted
"Hopes that the central bank will encourage lower rates was also the springboard for the stock market's soaring gains last week. The Dow Jones industrial average raced ahead 79.11 points, finishing at 986.85. It was the second-biggest weekly advance on record."
"Despite last week's stunning advance – the Dow has climbed nearly 210 points, or 27 percent, in less than two months -optimism still reigns."
October 11, 1982- THE FED AND ITS CREDIT DILEMMA; Economic Analysis
Legend has it that one day long ago a cowboy stumbled upon one of nature's most awesome sights, the Grand Canyon. "Wow," the cowboy is supposed to have exclaimed. "Something sure happened here." Last week something spectacular happened in the financial markets. The stock market rose 79 points, trading surged to a one-day record of 147 million shares on Thursday and interest rates plunged until one Treasury bond now carries a price fully one-third higher than the face value at which it will eventually be paid off….The question now for economists is what produced these wonders at a time of almost unrelievedly bad economic news."
"The double-digit unemployment – 10.1 percent, the highest in 42 years – was announced Friday."
October 11, 1982- BUSINESS DIGEST; MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1982; The Economy
"The economic situation still worries business leaders, despite plummeting interest rates and the resulting run-up in the stock and credit markets. Business Council members remain concerned about Federal budget deficits and spending, illiquidity and unemployment. "

There are various tools used in the team building industry to demonstrate the different personality types that we will meet in business and in life. MBTI is well established and goes into considerable detail on the psychology of personality type.
Another popular tool is Belbin, which looks at working style rather than personality. Some of us are more creative while others are good at detail and completing tasks. In simple terms Belbin helps you to understand why some items on a to-do list are easier to get done than others.
There are various colour based personality profiling tools used in team building. These can be very useful because they are easy to understand, to pick up and use when you are meeting people. Consider a very simple four colour model.
Reds are action focused, direct and get to the point. They often struggle to make small talk. They can be very good at getting things done. Positive qualities can include good leadership. However, some may find their directness uncomfortable, particularly if it borders on 'pushy'. Reds often send short messages when writing and may miss out standard 'niceties' such as greetings and valedictions.
Extravert, sociable and high energy yellows are naturals when it comes to networking. They will often be the centre of the fun and noisy conversation. They can be a real asset to a team or networking gathering but some, particularly those of a more introverted nature, can feel drained of energy after a while. A yellow is the extraverted version of a green.
Greens are caring and nurturing and will want to take time to ask about you and your family. They value the personal aspects of life more than the hard business issues. Often greens are found in such roles as nursing and caring. Ideally you would want to find greens in HR roles, although in results focused businesses you might find red managers delivering on results instead. Reds and greens can have problems getting on and this is a common cause of conflict in companies.
This is where the engineers and detail concious people find their home. Blues are often very effective, particularly when it comes to getting the job done or to quality issues. They will want to dive into the detail when you're talking to them. They can be reserved and not inclined to accept information that hasn't been proven. Some other types, for example yellow, may find the pace of blue conversation a challenge while blue is frustrated by yellows inattention to detail.
There are various tools and some use different colours. This is just one example. Considering people in this way is not designed to 'put people in boxes'. We all have all of these colours in our personalities at different times. However, some will be more prominent than others.
The key to this is the realisation that we are all different. If you find someone annoying or difficult to deal with it may be a clash of type, and it's worth bearing in mind that they might be finding you just as difficult to deal with!
Try taking this simple four colour model and applying it to your business networking. Can you see these types when you meet people or exchange emails? Will doing this help you to communicate more effectively with people?


Nabû-šuma-iškun, inscribed mdNabû-šuma-iškunun,[i 2] was king of Babylon, speculatively ca. 761 – 748 BC (see below for provenance), and ruled during a time of great civil unrest. He came from the Bīt-Dakkūri tribe,[i 3] a Chaldean group apparently unrelated to that of his immediate predecessor, Erība-Marduk.
His place in the sequence of Babylonian rulers is confirmed by an Assyrian Synchronistic Kinglist fragment.[i 4] A contemporary source for information concerning his reign is found in an inscription of the governor of Borsippa, Nabû-šuma-imbi, which highlights his weakness and the autonomy of his regional officials. His barrel cylinder[i 3] records the struggle over the control of their fields in the face of the incursions of marauders from Babylon and Dilbat; also Chaldeans and Arameans. At night, the city streets and its temple area were transformed into a battleground. During the fifth and sixth years of the king, the strife was so great that the cultic idol of Nabû was prevented from participating in the Akītu, or new year festival in Babylon.[i 5] The coincidental recording of years five and six of a no longer legible ruler in the Chronicle of the Market Prices has led this reference to be assigned to him.[i 6] In the king's eighth year, Nabû-šuma-imbi was able to install a certain Nabû-mutakkil as a temple official[i 1] and repair the Ezida temple of Nabû storehouses.
He is the main subject of a chronicle,[i 7] "The Crimes and Sacrileges of Nabu-šuma-iškun", uncovered in Uruk in a Seleucid era dwelling belonging to the exorcist Anu-ikṣur on the Parthian mound southeast of the Eanna complex, whose underlying theme is his violation of all moral and legal principles and consequentially – his ignominious demise. His crimes included "burn(ing) alive sixteen Cutheans at Zababa's gate in the heart of Babylon;" "he committed insult and unspeakable slander" of a certain Iltagal-il of the town Dur-ša-Karbi, and "a leek, a thing forbidden in the Ezida, he brought to the temple of Nabû and gave to eat to the one 'entering the temple'(i.e. the priest)," apparently an unforgivable act. Unfortunately the Chronicle was damaged in antiquity so how he met his come-uppance is not preserved. The length of his reign is uncertain, as it is not preserved in chronicle[i 8] or king list references, but his reign is known to have ended in 748 BC as the chronology is fixed from the reign of Nabû-Nasir onward, and there is a legal text[i 9] recording the sale of a plot of land, and a grain receipt[i 10] dated to his tenth year, and two economic texts[i 11][i 12] to his thirteenth year.

The new A-Type Impulse Responses, along with the nine other sets of classic loudspeaker IRs introduced earlier this year, are available for audition and download.
Ipswich, England (July 20, 2017)—Celestion has announced a new addition to its family of digital downloadable impulse responses, called the A-Type, representing an unusual kind of guitar speaker: "one that offers the celebrated classic British Celestion tone with a bit of an American accent thrown in," according to the company. The new A-Type Impulse Responses, along with the nine other sets of classic loudspeaker IRs introduced earlier this year, are available for audition and download.
Celestion's Impulse Responses—or IRs—are intended to capture and represent the behavior of a speaker cabinet in the specific space in which it was recorded, including the frequency and phase response of single drivers as well as the interaction of multiple speakers. The result, according to the company, is that Celestion IRs are reportedly able to reproduce the desired tone consistently regardless of the environment in which they're used. The IR downloads are available in .WAV format at 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz sample rates at 24 bit depth, in lengths of 200 and 500 milliseconds.
Celestion's IR formats will work in all known hardware capable of loading IRs, and for the most popular hardware, Celestion have already grouped together the correct formats. Guitar processor manufacturers supported include Atomic Amps, Fractal Audio Systems, Kemper, Line 6, Logidy, Positive Grid, Two Notes, Headrush and Yamaha. The Celestion IR files may be downloaded in the sample rate and length appropriate for the hardware being used or as a complete package of all rates and lengths. Certain third-party hardware requires the files to be converted into a proprietary format before use.
Five individual IR varieties of the new Celestion A-Type speaker are available for download, which correspond to each of five separate types of cabinet, including 1x12 (open back); 1x12 (closed back); 2x12 (open back); 2x12 (closed back); 4x12 (closed back). For each of these cabinets, three different professional studio-quality microphones were used, each placed in six discrete locations, resulting in 18 impulse responses per cabinet. In addition, Celestion has incorporated eight more impulse responses for each cabinet, created by mixing together various single IRs, offering further variety.

Gender theories essays
Capital has a major interest in obscuring these relationships and maintaining the enslavement of women within the family.
Theories of gender
Define each theory. This collection of essays focuses on developing and linking class and gender theory. What remains contentious is the question of the sorts of alliances to make in our struggle for liberation. Gender is, "described as the cause of certain beliefs about the world; the force that molds a plastic humanity, produces naturalized bodies, or imposes sexual dimorphism; the determinant of identity; the process that structures labor, power, and cathexis; or the mental category that structures a form of dichotomous perception" Hawkensworth, Gender-role theory blames the traditional socialization of children into gender roles. He says it is no surprise that the Marxist-inspired social reproduction theory is resurging as a response to the gaps being left by intersectionality theory. Social reproduction theory explains how women are oppressed as a sex, as well as part of the working class. Where is their equality in this society?
In these countries, "gender related challenges tend to be related to economic empowerment, employment, and workplace issues, for example related to informal sector workers, feminization of migration flows, work place conditions, and long term social security". And this is where this book is most useful: it offers a deeper understanding about how class and gender oppression work together.
Where is their equality in this society?
This construction causes a heterosexual norm, which some people do not identify under. This collection of essays focuses on developing and linking class and gender theory. France was one of the first countries where this claim became widespread when Catholic movements marched in the streets of Paris against the bill on gay marriage and adoption. Contributors to this book continue this approach, albeit with different emphases. The all inclusive Gender Theory states that the oppression of women comes from the gender biased society we live in. He says it is no surprise that the Marxist-inspired social reproduction theory is resurging as a response to the gaps being left by intersectionality theory. For example, in China , Vietnam , Thailand , Philippines and Indonesia , a heavy importance of what defines a woman comes from the workforce. Social reproduction theory explains how women are oppressed as a sex, as well as part of the working class. The culture of violence theory looks at the broad acceptance of violence in our society and concludes that its acceptance is the foundation for violence within the family. There have been cases
It creates normalized behaviors and characteristics for each person, holding them accountable for even the most trivial actions. Pillar two supports the developmental underpinnings for peace, renewed growth and poverty reduction in the poorest and most fragile areas.
Then answer the following question: which of the theoretical approaches to gender do you find the most valid? He says it is no surprise that the Marxist-inspired social reproduction theory is resurging as a response to the gaps being left by intersectionality theory.
Theories on gender and education
I have used these six concepts because they highlight how sexuality and gender are constructed by society. These programs have already been established, and successful in, Vietnam , Thailand , China , as well as the Philippines , and efforts are starting to be made in Laos , Papua New Guinea , and Timor Leste as well. There have been cases The culture of violence theory looks at the broad acceptance of violence in our society and concludes that its acceptance is the foundation for violence within the family. In one chapter, David McNally, activist and a professor of Political Science at York University in Toronto, Canada, argues that intersectionality theory contains some fundamental theoretical flaws. According to the Census , women in full-time employment are twice as likely as their male counterparts to do at least 15 hours of unpaid domestic work a week. Gender Theory calls for more than just thinking about gender in a very dichotomous way, it entails the separation of sex and gender; essentially dismissing the roles prescribed to a certain sex by which gender category they are associated, thus explaining why women have been oppressed by men throughout the ages. Contributors to this book continue this approach, albeit with different emphases. The final pillar provides a stage for knowledge management, exchange and dissemination on gender responsive development within the region to begin. What remains contentious is the question of the sorts of alliances to make in our struggle for liberation. Gender-role theory blames the traditional socialization of children into gender roles. Gender Theory has become one of the most popular of all the feminist theories because it proves to be more inclusive than all the other theories. Some of the competitive take-over has to do with gay studies. Women were expected to fit the traditional female and conform to the gender norms that society has constructed. And this is where this book is most useful: it offers a deeper understanding about how class and gender oppression work together.
In one chapter, David McNally, activist and a professor of Political Science at York University in Toronto, Canada, argues that intersectionality theory contains some fundamental theoretical flaws. Individuals are not supposed to step outside the binary male-female framework, otherwise they risk backlash as an attempt to force them back into culturally designated roles.
Theories of gender construction
In an era of renewed interest in Marxist ideas, this is an important discussion. Main article: Men's studies Men's studies is an interdisciplinary academic field devoted to topics concerning men , masculism , gender , and politics. Women are prescribed to be mothers, wives, homemakers, and the subordinate; men are supposed to be strong, the breadwinners, and the dominant. Domestic violence plays a huge part in which parent will have custody of minor children. Additionally, this study as made me aware of what a complicated issue gender is going way beyond the male female sex. According to the Census , women in full-time employment are twice as likely as their male counterparts to do at least 15 hours of unpaid domestic work a week. Citing Mao Zedong 's philosophy, "Women hold up half the sky", this may be seen as continuation of equality of men and women introduced as part of Cultural Revolution. In Butler's terms the performance of gender, sex, and sexuality is about power in society. Most societies throughout the ages have had a "universal need to establish classifications And this is where this book is most useful: it offers a deeper understanding about how class and gender oppression work together. Namely, prescribing roles to those belonging to a certain gender; male or female. The all inclusive Gender Theory states that the oppression of women comes from the gender biased society we live in. The culture of violence theory looks at the broad acceptance of violence in our society and concludes that its acceptance is the foundation for violence within the family. Gender roles are based on the different expectations that individuals, groups, and societies have of individuals based on their sex and based on each society 's values and beliefs about gender.
Gender-role theory blames the traditional socialization of children into gender roles.

With three days to go until liftoff of NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover, everything is on track for Thursday's planned launch to the Red Planet.
"The launch readiness review is complete and we are indeed 'go' for launch," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said during Monday's news conference at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. "This has been an amazing team effort."
Perseverance is scheduled to lift off aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex 41. The two-hour window opens at 7:50 a.m. EDT. NASA's Launch Services Program, based at Kennedy, is managing the launch.
The U.S. Air Force 45th Weather Squadron is predicting an 80% chance of favorable weather conditions for Thursday's launch. The primary weather concerns are cumulus and thick clouds.
The historic mission has remained on track, despite unprecedented challenges from a worldwide pandemic.
"We are in extraordinary times right now with the coronavirus pandemic, and yet we have, in fact, persevered," Bridenstine said. "And we have protected this mission because it is so important."

Perseverance, which will reach Mars on Feb. 18, 2021, is carrying seven different scientific instruments. The rover's astrobiology mission, developed under NASA's Mars Exploration Program, will search for signs of past microbial life. Ingenuity, a twin-rotor, solar-powered helicopter attached to the belly of the rover, will become the first aircraft to fly on another world.
"I just couldn't be happier to be here today and have this amazing mission on top of a rocket and ready to go," said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator, NASA's Science Mission Directorate. "From this launch readiness review … all the issues are addressed and we are in fact ready now; we're just counting down and really celebrating with the team."
Perseverance will collect samples from the Red Planet that could be returned to Earth on a future mission. These samples would provide unprecedented information about the Martian climate and weather.
"We're doing transformative science; really for the first time, we're looking for signs of life on another planet," said Matt Wallace, deputy project manager, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The mission has involved thousands of people in a cross-agency effort that included scientists from around the world. In the U.S., flight hardware was built in 44 states, involving more than 550 cities, towns and communities.
"So no matter where you are in this country, you don't have to go very far probably to find somebody who has been a part of this mission," Wallace said. "It's a tremendous team effort."
Multiple events will be broadcast Tuesday on NASA Television and the agency's website: NASA Edge Rollout show, from 10 to 11 a.m.; Mars 2020 Mars Sample Return briefing, from 2 to 3 p.m.; and Mars 2020 Mission Tech and Humans to Mars briefing, from 4 to 5 p.m.
From noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, there will be a briefing featuring Bridenstine, NASA Deputy Administrator Jim Morhard, Kennedy Deputy Director Janet Petro, and astronaut Zena Cardman.

Two vital pieces of equipment for the Mars 2020 rover were flown from Lockheed Martin Space in Denver, Colorado, and recently delivered to the agency's Kennedy Space Center.
The rover's heat shield and back shell arrived at Kennedy's Launch and Landing Facility (formerly the Shuttle Landing Facility) on Dec. 11, 2019, and were then transported to the Florida spaceport's Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility. Built by Lockheed Martin Space, these two essential parts of the spacecraft will protect the rover during its passage to Mars. The Mars 2020 rover is being manufactured at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California and, once complete, will be delivered to Kennedy in mid-February, 2020.

As the spacecraft descends through the Martian atmosphere, the heat shield will encounter extreme amounts of friction, creating temperatures as high as about 3,200 degrees Fahrenheit. The back shell contains several elements critical to landing the rover, including the parachute and antennas for communication. Some of these key components will be integrated in the months to come by the NASA-JPL team at Kennedy.
The mission is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2020 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket, procured by NASA's Launch Services Program. It will land on the Red Planet on Feb. 18, 2021.
About the size of a car with dimensions similar to the Curiosity rover, the Mars 2020 rover will carry seven different scientific instruments. Developed under NASA's Mars Exploration Program, the mission aims to search for signs of past microbial life, characterize the planet's climate and geology, collect samples for future return to Earth and pave the way for human exploration of Mars.

Status quo on Dakar Rally as Peugeot strengthens its hold on the leading positions17.01.2018
STAGE 11 | BELÉN – CHILECITO
With three days of competitive action now remaining on the Dakar, Team PEUGEOT Total continues to hold first and second after today's 280-kilometre stage: one of the shorter ones on the menu for this year. Nonetheless, it was also one of the most complex, characterised by the loose sand of the Fiambala region, on the fringes of the famous Altiplano. Despite the complexity of the terrain, all three PEUGEOT 3008DKR Maxi crews were in the top four, within 15 seconds of each other! Tomorrow, they face the longest stage of the whole rally…
The fastest PEUGEOT on today's stage was that of Cyril Despres/David Castera, which was second. Running with a considerable delay in the overall classification, they once more concentrated on their role as Sherpas for their team mates in first and second, delayed only by a puncture.
Overall leaders Carlos Sainz/Lucas Cruz stretched their advantage after finishing third on the stage. They set a strong pace at the beginning of the stage, but then controlled their rhythm and concentrated on making the finish safely. They are now 50m45s in the lead over Stéphane Peterhansel/Jean-Paul Cottret.
Peterhansel and Cottret consolidated their second place overall with fourth-fastest time on the tricky stage, despite running first on the road without the tracks of the motorcycles. They are now 23m17s ahead of their closest rivals in the general classification.
Having examined the evidence and data closely, the Dakar stewards decided to reverse the decision made on Monday 15 January in Salta and cancel the 10-minute penalty given to the #303 PEUGEOT 3008DKR Maxi.
1. Bernhard Ten Brinke (NLD) / Michel Perin (FRA), Toyota 4WD, 4h10m54s
2. Cyril Despres (FRA) / David Castera (FRA), PEUGEOT 3008DKR Maxi, +4m35s
3. Carlos Sainz (ESP) / Lucas Cruz (ESP), PEUGEOT 3008 DKR Maxi, +440s
4. Stéphane Peterhansel (FRA) / Jean-Paul Cottret (FRA), PEUGEOT 3008DKR Maxi, +4m50s
5. Nasser Al Attiyah (QAT) / Matthieu Baumel (FRA), Toyota 4WD, +5m56s
6. Giniel de Villiers (ZAF) / Dirk von Zitzewitz (ZAF), Toyota 4WD, +11m57s
7. Jakub Przygonski (POL) / Tom Colsoul (BEL), Mini 4WD, +19m47s
8. Sheikh Khalid Al Qassimi (ARE) / Xavier Panseri (FRA), Peugeot 3008DKR Maxi, +29m13s
9. Orlando Terranova (ARG) / Bernardo Graue (ARG), Mini 4WD, +42m12s
10. Lucio Alvarez (ARG) / Robert Howie (ZAF), Toyota 4WD, +42m23s
1. Carlos Sainz (ESP) / Lucas Cruz (ESP), PEUGEOT 3008 DKR Maxi, 36h26m27s
2. Stéphane Peterhansel (FRA) / Jean-Paul Cottret (FRA), PEUGEOT 3008DKR Maxi, +50m45s
3. Nasser Al Attiyah (QAT) / Matthieu Baumel (FRA), Toyota 4WD, +1h14m02s
4. Bernhard Ten Brinke (NLD) / Michel Perin (FRA), Toyota 4WD, +1h17m35s
5. Giniel de Villiers (ZAF) / Dirk von Zitzewitz (ZAF), Toyota 4WD, +1h30m05s
6. Jakub Przygonski (POL) / Tom Colsoul (BEL), Mini 4WD, +2h44m18s
7. Sheikh Khalid Al Qassimi (ARE) / Xavier Panseri (FRA), Peugeot 3008DKR Maxi, +3h16m19s
8. Martin Prokop (CZE) / Jan Tomanek (CZE), Ford 4WD, +5h53m08s
9. Peter Van Merksteijn (NED) / Maciej Marton (POL), Toyota 4WD, +6h31m09s
10. Sebastian Halpern (ARG) / Edu Pulenta (ARG), Toyota 4WD, +8h41m21s
TBC. Cyril Despres (FRA) / David Castera (FRA), PEUGEOT 3008DKR Maxi, +44h47m23s
LIVE FROM THE BIVOUAC…
"Carlos now has a comfortable lead and Stéphane is covering him in second place. But there's still a long way to go to the finish and we have to get to Cordoba with no drama, which is never a given. Regarding the penalty, we appreciate the event stewards looking into this again and re-examining all the documents and other evidence at their disposal. We supplied them with a certain amount of data, relating to the speed and movement of the car. They were able to compare that to the tracking and ascertain that Carlos's point of view was the correct one – of which we never had any doubt."
2nd on stage 11 / TBC in overall classification
"This time, Fiambala was a little less of a treasure hunt for waypoints than it has been in the past. However, it's just as tough as ever to climb up shifting sand dunes in this altitude in this hot weather! Maybe I was a little too cautious in the opening part of the stage. At one point, I think we lost two minutes just by lifting off in a place where we lost the tracks ahead of us. We had to change a wheel at a passage control after a puncture, but towards the finish of the stage we woke up a bit, and in the end the time was good."
3rd on stage 11 / 1st in overall classification
"Fiambala is always one of the most difficult stages of the whole Dakar and we saw that again today. My idea was just to go at a good pace but without pushing too hard. So, I was pleased to see after the first part of the stage that we were definitely in the fight. I went a bit quicker on the second part of the stage and we ended up with a decent time. That's slightly increased our lead, so things are good for now."
4th on stage 11 / 2nd in overall classification
"We took a big jump over a dune – our first big jump of the rally – which shook us around a bit. As a result, our backs are somewhat sore…I think I've got a vertebra missing! The car's steering was also affected by the impact. As we were first on the road, navigation was tricky. We drove together with the first motorbike to try and find the way. I have to say that our BF Goodrich tyres have been really strong. When I look at the speeds with which we drive through the thorny sections, it's incredible that we don't get any punctures."
The PEUGEOT subsidiary in Argentina is in full growth. In 2017, the 208 GTi and PEUGEOT 308 GTi sports hatches were launched, as well as the PEUGEOT 301, PEUGEOT 3008 SUV, plus the new PEUGEOT Boxer and PEUGEOT Expert, not to mention the latest PEUGEOT Partner. In 2018, Argentina can expect the PEUGEOT 5008 SUV, PEUGEOT Traveller eight-seater, and special editions of the 208, 2008, 308 and Expert.
STAGE 12 (Thursday 18 January) :
CHILECITO > SAN JUAN. 791 kilometres, of which 522 are competitive
This stage is composed of two competitive sections (lasting 262 and 260 kilometres) which together will represent the longest timed section of the rally. Navigation will be key to making it successfully through the many river crossings, which can have serious consequences if not negotiated properly.

Super sophomores: ESPN names most exciting players on Alabama, Georgia, rest of Top 25
Andrew Olson | 5 years ago
Jalen Hurts led Alabama to an 11-1 regular season and a win in the College Football Playoff over Clemson. Nick Chubb and Sony Michel combined for 2,572 rushing yards as they carried the Bulldogs to an SEC title, Rose Bowl win and an appearance in the CFP championship game. ESPN thinks their replacements will be the most exciting players to watch this fall.
The World Wide Leader named "The most exciting player for each Top 25 team" on Wednesday and right at the top are a pair of super sophomores, Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa and Georgia RB D'Andre Swift.
"Whether he'll win the starting job remains to be seen, but Tagovailoa is certainly must-see TV," Alex Scarbrough writes. "And it didn't start with the national championship. Go back to Vanderbilt and his insane scramble and throw for a touchdown."
Scarbrough also believes Swift will shine as the leader of UGA's stable of running backs.
"Sony Michel and Nick Chubb were special. But if you thought they were alone in Georgia's backfield last season, you weren't paying attention," he writes. "As a freshman, Swift showed why coaches have been enamored with his potential, showing off home-run speed with a 7.8 yards-per-carry clip and three rushes of 40 yards or more."
Other SEC players on the list are QB Nick Fitzgerald (No. 16, Mississippi State), WR Devan Barrett (No. 19, Auburn), RB Trayveon Williams (No. 23, Texas A&M) and WR Deebo Samuel (No. 25, South Carolina).

Etihad Cargo evaluates digital systems six months after switching to new platform
Last year, the carrier embarked on a strategy that saw the introduction of several transformation programmes across its fleet and network, commercial and operational processes, and its physical and digital infrastructures.
by Logistics Middle East Staff
Thu 25 Apr 2019 12:07 PM
Etihad Cargo says it has achieved a step change in the way it runs its operations and engages with its customers six months after migrating to a new technology platform.
Case Study: Ethiopia challenges Dubai with Africa's largest air cargo terminal
This culminated in the carrier's successful front-end systems migration to the IBS iCargo solution in October 2018, and celebrated the launch of its Online Booking Portal www.etihadcargo.com.
Six months on, Etihad has managed a major distribution channel shift and proudly accepted 14.4% of its total bookings online since the October 2018 "go-live" milestone.
Additionally, March 2019 has recorded the most successful performance yet with 16.4% of monthly bookings coming through the online portal, surpassing all records for similar portal launches for any other cargo carrier within the same period.
Etihad Cargo now has more than 6,000 unique registered users making online bookings every month, and the numbers are continuing to trend upwards (18.2% of the bookings were made online during the last week of March).
Building on this initial digital investment, round the clock work within Etihad Cargo continues with the carrier successfully completing trials for another major distribution channel, using automated Freight Forwarder Messaging (FFR) to instantly allow bookings to be made and confirmed.
Air Cargo Operator of the Year is won by flydubai Cargo at Logistics ME Awards
These pilots were undertaken with DHL Express and DB Schenker and completed successfully in March 2019, and are in the process of being progressively rolled out across their global operations as well as to other key forwarder customers.
"Etihad has made great strides in implementing the first phase of its digital ambitions over the past 18 months," said Rory Fidler, head of technology and innovation, Etihad Cargo. "We placed investments in digital transformation and innovation at the core of our new strategy, underpinning a renewed customer-driven culture within the organization."
"The fruits of that investment and hard work are transforming the way we interact and do business with our customers, and are opening up a multitude of future opportunities," he added.

Shattered Silk
By Barbara Michaels
Shattered Silk tells the tale of a woman regaining her self esteem after a very bad marriage. There is also a little bit of mystery and a very tiny pinch of romance in the book. As a matter of fact, the romance is so subtle, if you blink while you are reading, you might miss it. I felt a little bit ...

Kristin Hannah's latest, her first in hardcover, is definitely more mainstream fiction than genre romance, despite the fact that one of its main components is a strong love story. At its core, it's the story of self-discovery. It's a beautifully drawn portrait of a woman going backward before she ca	...

Cloud Nine is a beautifully written book. It's also horribly, horribly depressing. It has a tender romance, but no happily-ever-after. If you are a big fan of the multi-hanky read, you may enjoy this tearjerker. If you're not, then don't walk, run, in the opposite direction. Sarah Talbot has ...

Publishers of Christian Homeschooling Magazine Exposed for Protecting Child Abuser July 1, 2014 Hännah Ettinger
Publishers of Christian Homeschooling Magazine Exposed for Protecting Child Abuser
By Hännah Ettinger
Seven years ago, Jenefer Igarashi's son was molested. The crime was committed by the son of the publishers of a Christian homeschooling magazine that employed Igarashi. (The boys happened to be cousins as well.) And after several years of silence, both she and her son are finally talking about what happened.
Jenefer Igarashi
Homeschoolers Anonymous gives us the background:
Paul and Gena Suarez are the publishers of The Old Schoolhouse (TOS), a Christian homeschool magazine and self-described "global homeschooling company." TOS has been called "one of the largest homeschooling magazines in America, and indeed, the world." TOS's vision is "to continue to lift up the Lord in every endeavor, every action, and every word spoken or written," and that "as homeschooling grows, so TOS grows, and concurrently, that as TOS grows, more families will be introduced to home education through our many and varied resources."
TOS was not a magazine my family received regularly, but I was certainly familiar with it as a big player in the homeschooling culture. TOS was deeply enmeshed with all the major names in Christian homeschooling, particularly those who skewed more conservative.
Igarashi, a blogger and mother of six, was a familiar name to me as I was involved in several blogging circles that also included her daughter. Her involvement in TOS was extensive, until her son was molested.
Again, according to Homeschoolers Anonymous:
For 6 years Igarashi worked for TOS in a number of capacities, including (in 2002) as the Senior Editor of TOS and (in 2006) as the Vice President of Operations. She's been in the thick of the Christian Homeschool Movement, writing enthusiastically in 2006 about her opportunities for TOS to interview both HSLDA's Chris Klicka and Vision Forum's Doug Phillips…
Igarashi has vaguely referred to her abrupt departure from the magazine and made references to strong emotions regarding child predators. But the dots are finally connected for us in her latest blog post, in which she explains that she's finally opening up about her son's abuse at his request:
But then he told me he wanted to speak plainly. He told me that he was angry — really angry — that his older cousin had forced him to live with such disgusting memories. He also told me that he hated the idea of being known as the kid who had ________ happen to him. He said he was fearful of having a tainted reputation and was nervous about being kept out of certain circles of friends who might look at him weird if they knew. I sat quietly and just listened to him as he spoke. And then what he said surprised me. He said, "I think that being concerned about how I'm viewed is selfish, though. I don't want my reputation to be more important to me than knowing we might be able to help prevent others from having to live through what I have to deal with" This kid is 13, he'll be 14 next week…
This is important, not just because it's yet another group of homeschooling Christian leaders who have protected abusers (who deserve to be exposed for their flagrant abuse of power). This quote from Igarashi gets to the heart of the issue:
Our issue is with leaders who use their positions of power to enforce a 'zero accountability' policy for child sex offenders and then punish people who disagree with their (extreme) view.
This is why homeschool reform is so important. And this is why Christian homeschool leaders are so strongly opposing homeschool alumni speaking out against abuses of power in the Christian homeschool community.
The whole system (based on wildly inflated ideas of what "religious freedom" means) is designed to have a zero tolerance policy for accountability over parents. Power is addicting: they will not surrender authority over their children leaving home or disowning them, and they will not surrender authority to protect other children from being abused. Instead, they'll just pretend like nothing happened.
I'll let blogger Elizabeth Esther have the final word here, from her Facebook page:
Think about that.

TonyD-Tell the Truth
You tend to look far and wide for inspiration. I like to look for an out-of -the-box artist. TonyD is this week's pick, with his sensational funk fusion, jazz styled single called Tell the Truth. This is from his album, Between the Lines. It's an apt title, because he seems to be doing it with suave energy.
There is a groovy bassline that took my itch home and fed it. The rhythm for this particular song is solid, it has no waste pockets of empty space or unnecessary synth fillers. There is a Stevie Wonder like bounce within this track, which is very hard to achieve. TonyD controls it like an expert chef, knowing just the recipe and measurements to make sure it doesn't end up in Gordon Ramsay's dustbin. There is enough depth to appreciate his vocals, strained but on point. His demeanour is clearly seen with this track itself, he likes the charisma to ooze out with every passing second of this track. And, oh boy, does it.
There might be a secret to composing an album with such good stuff in it, but that isn't for mere mortals like us. The joy remains in being an outsider, being invited to see the genius of the progression and his experiments with the music. Like bringing in an orchestra, knowing what each member would do. TonyD knows his role, and he's the master conductor who has a smile on his face for delivering an achingly good performance. Listen to his single here:
