Last Friday and today (Aug. 17th), the engine light popped on and last week when I went to Autozone, they checked the code, and it was a code P0446 (might be the same code again, will check that later on after I get off of work). The code indicated that there was a blockage at the purge vent valve solenoid. My car has over 115,500 miles on it as well, and my fuel gauge is playing tricks (goes to full when accelerating or empty when I still have plenty of miles left), and the issue is the fuel level sensor has stopped working properly since February, 2017 (never leave 1/8 a tank in your car during the below freezing weather).
On Wednesday, Aug. 15th, the code cleared itself and was working without issues. The bad news is, I drive 30 miles (15 miles to and from work and home) 5 days a week and traffic on the freeway is horrible.
Does anyone have a diagram or photos of the exact location for the vent valve solenoid and purge valve for a 3.5L LX5 V6 engine? My plan is to either unclog the valves or replace them (most likely replace them) to prevent my gas mileage from dropping again. I had this issue twice last year in 2017. Also, it's been a while since I was on here last (4 years, 3 months, and 8 days).
I'll post back on here later on if the code is different.
Edit: the code's the same, and taking it to a dealership is out of the question since they, like the EpiPens in the US, charge an arm and a leg to smoke test the canister purge valves and to replace said part. Oy.
Edit 2: the engine light turned off yesterday (might turn on again due to heavy traffic on my way to work). Now I need to clear the ABS code and diagnose what the issue is.

Wet wood rots quicker….Another Fact!
Stop Rot Now! Keep…Wood…Dry !!
The interior of the bus, all the cupboards, cabinets, bed frame and so on, were going to be made out of wood and the bus, at times, can be damp. Especially during winter time. So, if you're making wooden stuff to go in the bus and you don't want rot then you need wood that stays dry.
Or as an alternative to dry wood, you could simply use live wood, that's to say, wood that's still alive. If you can keep your wood alive it should stop it from rotting. But then if you keep it alive you'd have to carve your cabinets from one tree and keep the roots in plenty of soil. And remember to water it or it will die. Imagine that, a tree bus that will never rot…unless you forget to water it, of course.
On the downside, if the wood is still alive, it would carry on growing, and before you know it the bus would be too full of live tree making it really difficult for you to actually get inside, unless you hollowed it out. And during autumn there would be a lot of leaf drop to sweep up, not to mention bird nesting, squirrels and fruitbats.
Conclusion. Don't carve the wooden interior of the bus out of a living tree and then try to keep said tree alive. You will eventually run out of room and more than likely your bus will get nicked by a bunch of thieving squirrels. It's a daft idea, unless you're a fruitbat.
So, with the live wood idea abandoned we needed to find the best dead wood that stays dry.
Sarah the Researcher researched the best type of wood to use that wouldn't rot, lose its shape, warp or split. Sarah didn't fail in this task. The wood that Sarah found was so damn good it can also be used to make completely waterproof wooden submarines. But at £3squllion a square foot we decided that perhaps the wood we needed didn't have to be quite so underwaterproof.
The next best thing we found was a fancy sort of plywood held together with a strong waterproof glue. Still expensive stuff, but then we were only going to do this job once, so it made sense to use a high specification material. Our local Jewsons had some in stock. Our local Jewsons also had an ex-VW owner working there. We learnt a lot about his bus. A lot.
We were wooded up and ready to start building, whatever the weather, come rain or shine, drizzle, flood or tsunami. It would be comforting to know that if the bus were to ever be swept away on the tide or if it fell into a harbour or it got mixed up with the dirty laundry that at least the cupboards would be ok.
 Presumably a wooden submarine would have a good chance of floating rather than submerging? Wouldn't it? Don't build your submarine out of wood. Another daft idea. If you're going to build a submarine build it out of lead, the world's heaviest thing. Apart from my Dad that is, who spends his entire life wondering why the tide's always coming in whenever he goes for a stroll down the beach. Which, I have to say, is not a bad thing really. Because, if 'Save the Whale' saw my dad lolling along the sea front they'd be trying to drag him back into the sea. So pulling the tide in does have its benefits.

Christmas Day Gaza 2015
December 27, 2015 BabakJoy2014
Do you think the news services actually have reporters on the ground covering the military occupation of Palestinian territory? If they do, it's sure a colossal waste of money since their reports are usually verbatim quotes from Israeli military officials. The reports all have a scripted, press release quality & if editors had an ounce of journalistic integrity or investigative rigor, those handing in these kind of reports would be canned. Or maybe the Associated Press (AP) just calls up the public relations department at the IDF to get a statement. The AP actually copyrights their crap but they need never fear an intelligent reader would want to 'publish, broadcast, rewrite or redistribute' it except for purposes of ridicule.
Let us brave the copyright laws & cite the Israeli press release/AP report about the military murder of Hani Wahdan, a 22-year-old man in the Gaza Strip on Christmas Day: "Israeli troops shot at Palestinians attempting to breach the Gaza Strip's border fence with Israel….Since mid-September, a wave of Palestinian shooting, stabbing & vehicular attacks have killed 20 Israelis. At least 126 Palestinians have died by Israeli fire in the same period, of whom 86 Israel says were attacking or attempting to attack Israelis."
That's quite an indictment of Palestinians & any reputable news service would want to verify every accusation in that litany of crimes instead of repeating them ad nauseam & risking mockery as parrots for Israeli propaganda.
This is a photo from an album of that incident in Gaza where young Wahdan was killed. It was published with a story in the Middle East Monitor (MEMO). Raises some questions about the veracity of the AP report, doesn't it? These are clearly unarmed young men running from a tear gas assault. Some photos show them with slingshots against one of the most sophisticated military arsenals in the world. None were close enough for Israeli soldiers to plant a knife on. So why exactly did Israeli troops open fire on them, especially since there was an apartheid fence between them?
According to the MEMO report–& since they had a photojournalist on the ground they are more credible than Israeli military officials sitting on their asses in Jerusalem–two Palestinians were killed on Christmas Day by Israeli troops & more than 30 others were injured in both the Gaza Strip & West Bank. Nine other Palestinians were wounded in the incident where Wahdan was killed; four more, including a child, were wounded in another incident near the refugee camp of Al-Burij in Gaza; six others were wounded near the town of Khan Younis, also in Gaza. Many suffered respiratory problems from tear gas assaults.
So now let's ask the questions the AP didn't ask the IDF. Why did the Israeli military shoot live ammo at unarmed protesters? Did they shoot them for chanting anti-occupation slogans? Did they shoot them as they ran away like here or because they got too close to the apartheid fence? How exactly did they 'attempt to breach the border fence'? Were the soldiers afraid the guy on the motorbike would challenge their tanks & bulldozers in a vehicular attack? Just how much stupid are we being asked to swallow?
May young Wahdan Rest in Peace; our condolences to his grieving family & friends.
Honoring & building the boycott of Israel (barcode beginning 729) is the strongest expression of solidarity with Palestinian justice.

The 2015 African Economic Outlook report a flagship publication of the African Development Bank (AfDB), says that while African economists are optimistic that the continent's economies would grow by 5% in 2016, they are also concerned that lower oil and commodity prices, uncertain global conditions, the consequences of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and domestic political uncertainties in some countries could delay growth dated back to 2008.
The report was released yesterday to African heads of states, AfDB's Board of Governors and stakeholders who converged in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire for the AfDB 50th Annual Meetings.
Although the report indicates that human development levels in Africa have increased since 2000, with 17 out of 52 countries reaching middle or high levels of development, the region's poverty rates remain stubbornly high while progress in health, education and income are uneven.
"Huge inequalities persist between and within countries, and between women and men. In many areas, low productivity and investment, the absence of infrastructure and rural-urban networks and too few jobs outside of the agricultural sector are holding back economic and development progress," the report notes.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is forecast to reach USD 73.5 billion in 2015, underpinned by increasing Greenfield investment from China – which remains Africa's largest trade partner after the European Union. The report also shows an increase in intra-African and outward FDI flows. South African companies are the leading investors on the continent.
According to the report, the continent's demographic boom is exacerbating these challenges. By 2050, both cities and rural communities in Africa will see their population grow drastically, with the countryside gaining an estimated 400 million people.
At Liberia's level regarding city population growth, over 1 million people are concentrated in Monrovia while thousands are in smaller cities including Gbarnga, Ganta, Kakata and Buchanan.
The report argues that past efforts to promote regional development through territorial management, infrastructure development and decentralization have been scattered and had limited impact. As a result, the potential of Africa's regions, which includes river basins, border areas and key rural-urban corridors, remains unfulfilled.
"African economies could benefit from mobilizing the wide and extraordinary untapped potential of their diverse regions. Putting people and places at the centre of policy-making may improve Africa's competitiveness and the well-being of Africans" said Mario Pezzini, Director of the OECD Development Centre.
Suggesting ways forward, the African economic experts say transforming economies will require exploring more productive sectors, through promoting manufacturing, developing services, creating strategies for green growth or modernizing the agricultural sector.


After four days of wind, rain and fog, the Madeira Islands Open – Portugal – BPI was cancelled when it became clear it would be impossible to complete the requisite 36 holes.
Some 60mm of rain fell during Saturday night and Sunday morning, meaning the second and final round couldn't start. The event had initially been reduced to 36 holes because of terrible weather.
As the greenkeeping staff worked hard to prepare the course during the delay on Sunday morning, more rain fell and the course remained unplayable, so the final round couldn't get underway.
With a weather warning issued for Monday due to strong winds, it was decided the tournament should be cancelled and that all scores would be null and void. Through 18 holes, Denmark's J.B. Hansen had led by a stroke from a group of eight players after a round of 68.
This is just the third event in European Tour history to be cancelled. The Compaq European Grand Prix of 1998 was also called off due to adverse weather while the WGC – American Express Championship of 2001 was cancelled in the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York on September 11.
The European Tour has already begun discussions with the sponsors and host venue to reschedule the event for another week in The 2015 Race to Dubai schedule.


An Economist says to Physicians: you don't know your data!
In reality, medical care during pregnancy seemed to be one long list of rules. Being pregnant was a good deal like being a child again. There was always someone telling me what to do, but the recommendations from books and medical associations were vague and sometimes contradictory. It started right away. "You can only have two cups of coffee a day." I wondered why. What did the numbers say about how risky one, two or three cups were? This wasn't discussed anywhere.
The key to good decision making is evaluating the available information—the data—and combining it with your own estimates of pluses and minuses. As an economist, I do this every day. It turns out, however, that this kind of training isn't really done much in medical schools. Medical school tends to focus much more, appropriately, on the mechanics of being a doctor--Emily Oster in WSJ [HT Diana Weinert Thomas via Facebook].
Let's hope that Oster's book actually does what economist do best: examine incentives. What we really need is a critical, data-driven analysis of the institutions and incentives that allow norms be propagated by bio-medical-pharmaceutical-governmental establishments even when founded on not-so-firm evidential basis. As Oster notes these norms make "Being pregnant...a good deal like being a child again;" this suggests that the crucial issue(s) here is not so much flimsy-data. Here's a hypothesis: what makes these paternalistic (sometimes promoted by female physicians) norms 'functional' is living sexism.

Impressive trial win for Volkstok'n'barrell
Three-time Group One winner Volkstok'n'barrell warmed up for his latest campaign with a strong trial win at his home track of Ruakaka this afternoon.
With Leith Innes in the saddle, the Tavistock gelding came from behind with a big late run and scored by two and a half lengths. He stopped the clock at 59.79 seconds for the 1000 metres.
"He went super," co-trainer and part-owner Chris Gibbs told www.theinformant.co.nz. "He was as fat as a pig and he paraded like a two-year-old, bucking and carrying on, but he won very well. He came from behind and went straight past them, then cruised to the line. We were really happy with that.
"Leith said he wanted to try to hold on to the colours! He offered to wash them for us. I'm not sure how Vinnie (Colgan) will feel about that."
The winner of eight of his 22 starts and more than $1.1 million in prize-money, Volkstok'n'barrell hasn't raced since his three-start Queensland winter campaign that included a third in the Gr. 2 Hollindale Stakes and a fourth in the Gr. 1 Doomben Cup.
Depending on weather and track conditions, Volkstok'n'barrell will resume in the Gr. 3 Lion Red Plate over 1215 metres at Rotorua on October 15.
"At this stage he's on track for that, but we'll be guided by the weather," Gibbs said. "It can get quite heavy at Rotorua and we may not want to risk him if it does. But if there's some good weather between now and then it might not be too bad."

I downloaded a high res version of the "all-sky-view" and I have to say, it doesn't have the wow factor of a nice desktop wallpaper.
My low-brow comment would be that it looks like a nice opal at best.
Why the oblong oval shape?
I'm now wondering if there was a Tissot's Indicatrix applied. I might have to try the VR version just to get past any 2D transformation distortions.
What's the URL of the image you downloaded?
The map is oval because ESA uses the "Hammer" projection to translate the sky's spherical shape into flat images. This is documented at https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/gaia...kyincolour
They don't use Tissot's.
There are many different types of map projections. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection
Celestia uses "Plate Carre" for its planetary maps, for example, which is also called "equirectangular".
There's an interesting dark cloud just south of Sagittarius in that image
https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/gaia...kyincolour
I think it is the Corona Australis molecular cloud. Only about 500 light years away. For some reason I find these dark clouds fascinating.


FOR almost four decades the Holden Commodore has marched to the sound of its own drum, revelled in it in fact, and hundreds of thousands of Australians, impressed with the combination of comfort and handling, have gladly hopped on for the ride.
And what a ride it has been. Since the first VB Commodore rolled off the assembly line in October 1978, some 95,900 units have found a home in our hearts and with this latest model the VFII - the most powerful Commodore ever built - Holden has definitely saved the best for last. Thanks to a new 6.2 litre LS3 V8 engine, available in all VFII sports models, the new Commodore has ramped up both power and torque, now offering up 570Nm and 304kW, with improved ride comfort and superior handling.
But the biggest news for the VFII V8, yes even more so than that powerful engine, is its beautifully throaty song which thanks to a Bi-modal exhaust and mechanical sound enhancer provides a lusty accompaniment for spirited driving.
The interior of the VFII is unchanged but remains a prime example of space and practicality. The seats, both front and rear, are generous in dimension and rather supportive with excellent head and leg room while the instruments are modern, clear and easy to read. Materials are hardwearing but nice to touch with soft fabrics and textured highlights making it easy to forgive the odd bout of crooked stitching. There are a fair few storage options too, including a super large boot, always a boon for family travel.
The excitement was palpable as we hopped into the Commodore VFII variants on launch in Adelaide this week with the picture-perfect Barossa Valley providing the ideal backdrop for a chorus line of melodic V8s. It is hard to fault this Commodore. Sure, the power available is a large part of its appeal and the sound quality doesn't hurt either but it is more than that, much more. It is about presence and nifty capability, balance and confidence around corners, it is about acceleration without hesitation, composure over bumps and an overall super awesome experience.
Good sports cars, actually very good ones, have the ability to extend exceptional drivers and cushion those whose enthusiasm outshines their skills. And this new Commodore is one of those. Nowhere was this more apparent than when we slung the car around the Collingrove Hill climb - a tricky bit of driving that would have proved trickier still had it not been for the VFII V8's surefootedness and intuition which of course comes courtesy of a number of innovative performance and technological advancements. It took 250,000km of testing in a range of environments before Holden was happy to bring this Commodore to market. It was time well spent.
LONG RANGE: Commodore VFII comes in many forms, with all V8 models available with the 6.2-litre LS3 monster.
zone climate control, sat-nav, reverse camera, sports suspension and a five-star safety package including six airbags, automatic park assist, blind spot alert, reverse traffic alert and front and rear sensors. The SS-V adds 19-inch alloys, leather seats, 8-way power adjustable driver's seat, LED daytime running lights, heads-up display. The ultimate SSV Redline also gets FE3 sports suspension, competitive mode, front and rear Brembo brakes, sunroof, optional 20-inch alloys, paddle shifts, front fog lamps and a Bose premium radio.
Naturally, if want power and performance, you can expect it to come at the expense of fuel economy. At 12.9l/100km for the auto and 12.6l/100km for the manual, this new V8 is a litre heavier than its predecessor but true driving enthusiasts rarely care about that. Should you buy one in October and November there is free servicing until 2020 or fixed-price servicing for life if you wait longer.
This may be the last Commodore ever but the long-established rivalry remains the same - the Ford Falcon XR8 (from $52,490) will front up as the major opposition.
LIKES A DRINK: With gain comes pain: V8's quoted economy is 12.9-litres with the auto, 12.6-litres manual. And good luck achieving that if you drive your Commodore as tradition dictates.
Well, I don't know how practical it is to drive a thirsty V8 around town… but it certainly is a thrill so who cares about courting the good fairy. Of course it has the space, technology and safety to duty as a family car too. Softer springs and retuned dampers, a nice bi-product of the new lighter but stiffer rear anti-roll bar, offers a great ride and the V8 soundtrack can be easily switched on or off via the infotainment system. The clutch can be a bit light though - which you can get used to - but the biggest bane is the chunky A-pillars which can impede enjoyment through a set of tight corners.
It is obvious that the money spent on this car was largely allocated to the ride and sound of the new engine with very little to differentiate the exterior of this VFII Commodore to the outgoing VF model. There is a new larger grille and fascia ducts to allow for improved aerodynamics as well as hood vents to release hot air and give a more aggressive appearance. Clear lens rear lights signal the changes in the back with the Sportswagons getting LED tail lights.
Given its historical significance in this country, the last Commodore was always going to sell well but this VFII with its superior handling, excellent drive and sensational soundtrack definitely deserves to. What a pity that Commodore's penchant to attract so many "bogans" may prevent so many enthusiasts from enjoying its riches.
Details: Five-door rear-wheel drive performance sedan.
Engines: 6.2-litre LS3 V8 petrol generating maximum power of 304kW @ 6000rpm and peak torque of 570Nm @ 4400rpm.

Trends in secondary education in industrialized countries: are they relevant for African countries?
Home » Publisher: » Trends in secondary education in industrialized countries: are they relevant for African countries?
The IIEP has produced this study on secondary education in OECD countries, in order to inform countries with less-developed economies of current trends and practices. The provision of compulsory and good quality secondary education to youths is a priority in many countries, not least in African countries, in order to drive economic growth.The book, produced originally for the World Bank Africa Division, covers many factors, such as curriculum, teaching and assessment methods, financing and use of resources, training of teachers, and governance. It discusses common principles in the organization of education in the countries covered, as well as how they differ. It concludes by examining how they could be a source of inspiration for African countries, with due account taken of the differences in context.

Policing the Virus
Policing the VirusFor Britain Team2020-12-18T06:26:50+00:00
By Mike Speakman, Law & Order Spokesman
From my first day at Police training school in 1968 it was drummed into us that we police with the consent of the public. This central tenet of British Policing remained true throughout my service, and throughout the ranks I achieved. Until recently, the British police service had never seen itself as an occupying force or as an arm of the state, or as an arbiter of social behaviour.
In recent years the support of the public for the police has declined, largely as a result of the polices own actions. They abandoned beat patrol in favour of monitoring social media; They blindly enforced speeding laws with little regard for the alienation of the easy targets of otherwise law abiding motorists; They ignored the behaviour of favoured identities; they set their own standards of social behaviour with non-crime hate crime; They chose not to attend the scenes of house burglaries. The list is quite long, and every example has alienated parts of the British community who were traditionally at the heart of support for policing.
We now have the police reaction to their role in enforcing the social distancing legislation to combat the virus. Roadblocks in rural areas; Drone surveillance of beauty spots; the creation of facilities to report your neighbours for too much exercise; searching of shopping bags for "non-essential" items: The list goes on. There was even an example of a Sergeant issuing a fixed penalty to a lady who was marking safe distance lines in chalk on the pavement outside her shop.
What has happened to the notion of the traditional British bobby with common sense and discretion. In my view that Sergeant was not fit to hold the office of Constable never mind having achieved promotion and it speaks volumes of the recruitment and selection process where sound standards from my time have been abandoned in the name of diversity. I was a recruiting Sergeant for part of my service and the Home office were continually pressuring forces to lower their standards, in education, health and previous character. So, I believe we have a number of officers who do not share the traditional values of British policing. (It is worth noting you no longer have to be British to be a British police officer, although I have no evidence that this is a factor.) However, the presence of some bobbies who are not fit to wear the uniform does not explain it all.
The culture of policing has changed, and this has several origins. Firstly, the government exercises far more control over the police than it ever did in my time. They abolished the Polices own professional body (The Association of Chief Police Officers; ACPO) and replaced it with a government appointed quango. The government also exercised far more control over the appointment of senior officers. They reduced the local accountability of Chief Officers by getting rid of police authorities and replacing them with Police and Crime Commissioners, accountable to the Home Office. It was in my time that the Government started introducing their own targets for police forces and enforced them through government Inspectors. Thus, chief officers looked to please central government and the local agenda received less priority. Chief Police Officers no longer serve their communities, they are agents of government.
These factors have been highlighted in the approach to enforcing the COVID 19 laws. Some forces are going beyond the law, because their managers think that is what will please their masters. These managers need to realise that like it or not, they still need the consent of their communities to do the job. There will be an end to the current situation and all police officers need to remember who they serve. The last force I served in had the motto, "Protect, Help and Reassure". The sentiment behind those words matters, the police are the friends of the public, not their enemies. The relationship is being damaged by the current culture and the many retired officers I have contact with despair at the state of modern policing. For Britain will restore local accountability to the Police and other public services.
This is something of a side issue, but whilst there is overwhelming public compliance with the new rules, the governments approach has not been entirely logical. Many people are asking what's the point of isolating ourselves? Why set up rural roadblocks when illegal immigrants are allowed in and there is still unrestricted movement through airports? It doesn't help public acceptance of police enforcement

Romulan, naturally, gets its name from the hostile alien race in Star Trek. It's a fitting history, as outer space is the perfect backdrop for this indica strain out of British Columbia. Topping out at 20-24% THC, Romulan is quite potent. It's almost pure indica with a small amount of the sativa-dominant White Rhino hybrid, but its full origins are a mystery. Romulan has a sweet earthy smell and taste, with hints of pine and citrus. It produces a deeply relaxed body high with a dreamy, floating sensation. Like all indicas, Romulan can be effective at treating anxiety, though it's best for pain. It's also used to treat depression and lack of appetite. Couch-lock is common when smoking Romulan, so it's best saved for late nights or rainy days at home. This strain is popular in legal markets in the American West, less so in other regions. Though not exactly a top-shelf strain, Romulan rates well among users, and it's a favorite of many medical marijuana patients. It can be overpowering if used in high concentrations, with possible dizziness, paranoia, and headaches. Romulan, naturally, gets its name from the hostile alien race in Star Trek.

I have been self-medicating for thirty odd years and consider myself a connoisseur, having indulged in many different strains. Romulan is by far my favourite indica. Romulan is a complicated phenotype that lends itself to an intensley sweet flavour and a potency that is, dare I say it, out of this world. And for those of you that shy away from straight indica try Romulan's twisted sister, sativa dominant hybrid, Strawberry Romulan. Peace out folks, and let the good times smoke.

One of my three favourite indicas. The others being Zed and Hindu Kush. On my first experience with Romulan the resulting high was very comfortable and warm. Not that potent or mind numbing. My wife found the same thing. My second found the same results. A nice relaxing high that helped me slip into a good nights sleep. But the third...from the same ground up nug...nailed me to the couch and produced a much deeper and more powerful high. Not sure why...I used the same nug and same pipe as I did previously. Maybe it was something I had eaten before hand? In any case the high was still relaxing and comfortable. It created a relaxing state that lent itself to a good nights sleep. A friend who uses it for the same reason I do (anxiety,insomnia and depression) swears by it. Definately a recommendation!

Amazing indica, the description is right on, except the 1/8 I got is 24.88% THC, 0.11% CBD. Fast hitting, body and mind. Perfect to relax, chill out, elevate mood, great for nausea, pain, anxiety, depression.

Baring one's body can be a legitimate form of resistance
Here is a piece in the Paris Herald on 'Boobquake' versus 'Brainquake.' Since I only found out about Brainquake when the journalist in question contacted me for a comment (which she didn't use), let me briefly say the following:
Of course women are wrongly sexualized everywhere including with the veil and sexual apartheid. But for Brainquake to reduce Boobquake to the sexualisation of women misses the point. Ridicule is a wonderful way of criticizing religion and religious rules, particularly given that it is becoming more and more taboo. Also intent is important. Jennifer's intent was a defence of women's rights and status and cannot be compared with pornography.
More importantly, though, when you are confronted with an Islamic movement that deems women's bodies as sources of corruption and chaos, and actually criminalises everything from a woman's hair, her bare arms or legs, let alone breasts, baring one's body can become a legitimate form of resistance.
I don't know Golbarg Bashi and cannot speak of her intent but I find her reasoning against Boobquake sounding very much like that of the Islamic regime of Iran's and other Islamists, which say they promote women's dignity and intellect whilst imposing medieval laws that veil, segregate and deem women as sub-human. I would think that if she was as concerned about women's rights as she says, she would not be calling on campaigners to remain passive and merely donate to 'Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.' Her call is a disservice to the international solidarity that all progressive social movements demand and deserve and particularly the important women's liberation movement in Iran.

San Marcos,
Building Bridges Leads to Student Success
By Eric Breier
North San Diego County Bridges to the Future Program
Bridges students from Palomar College and MiraCosta College participate in an open-house tour of Cal State San Marcos' College of Science and Mathematics on Oct. 21.
Denise Garcia can remember a time when she had to work to get faculty to participate in an open house for the North San Diego County Bridges to the Future Program.
But, as a recent open house showed, those days are long in the past.
Nearly two dozen Cal State San Marcos faculty members participated in this year's annual Bridges Open House, which gave students from MiraCosta College and Palomar College an opportunity to tour labs and speak with professors.
Garcia is the principal investigator and biology professor Tracey Brown is the project director on the Bridges grant, which is a partnership between CSUSM, Palomar and MiraCosta. Funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the program helps prepare underrepresented students for a seamless transition to a four-year university and a career in biomedical sciences.
There are Bridges programs throughout the country, but CSUSM's is unique in that it is year round compared to the shorter summer stints that many other programs offer.
"We think getting students here several times a semester helps integrate them into a four-year institution and understand the culture and how things are done," said Garcia, who is the associate dean for the College of Education, Health and Human Services.
The grant provides funding for 20 students – 10 from Palomar and 10 from MiraCosta – who each receive a stipend. Students meet with their site coordinators – Jim Gilardi at Palomar and Suzie Bailey at MiraCosta – every other Friday and participate in a variety of activities and seminars throughout the year.
Many will attend the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students in Tampa, Fla., this month. The conference is an opportunity to learn more about science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, and also offers sessions devoted to writing resumes, polishing interview skills and applying to graduate school.
"There's probably 1,000 graduate school recruiters there," Garcia said. "It's like a Costco warehouse of graduate schools. It's amazing for the students. And it's all underrepresented minority science students there, so they're seeing individuals like themselves. It becomes a great support system."
CSUSM's Bridges program has enjoyed tremendous success with about 98 percent of participants transferring to a four-year university and about 75 percent of those students transferring to CSUSM.
Garcia and Brown said the Office for Training, Research and Education in the Sciences (OTRES), including staff members Rita Cooper and Celia Martinez, is instrumental in assisting with the logistics of the program and coordinating with Palomar and MiraCosta.
Many Bridges participants eventually move on to CSUSM's programs for Maximizing Access to Research Careers-Undergraduate Student Training Research (MARC U*STAR) and Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE), which help "bridge" students to doctoral studies.
Garcia and Brown said their biggest challenge is helping the families of Bridges students understand the value of the program.
"It's not just a challenge for our grant, but all sorts of grants," Brown said. "A lot of participants are first-generation students, and they're all underrepresented minorities. Even if the student themselves understand the benefits of graduate school and Ph.D.s or even bachelor's degrees and how that will help them in their lifetime, the families, which is their support, don't always understand it."
Said Garcia: "They're all very motivated and they're all great kids. They just have outside commitments and pressures that we have to navigate very sensitively."
The Bridges grant runs over a five-year cycle, and Brown said they are looking for ways to incorporate the families into the program for the next funding cycle. One idea is to hold an open house for the families of Bridges students.
The student open house has certainly been a big hit. Not only has it gained widespread popularity among CSUSM faculty, but it has shown students the research and lab opportunities available to them. It also allows students to connect with peers who have been through the program.
"Their peers say, 'I was you two years ago. Look where I am now,' " Brown said. "They see that and it makes it more tangible for them."
The program has had 11 students go on to complete their Ph.D. with another 13 enrolled in a Ph.D. program. It has also seen 24 students earn their master's.
"The statistics show that it has been a huge success," said Garcia, who was a first-generation college student herself. "We're looking to write more grants to hopefully scale it up for students in other academic areas. The success is amazing."

"It's easier just to learn it in class and be aware before you start."
Jeff Miller, a wildlife technician at the Winous Point Marsh Conservancy, oversees a 5,500 acre marsh and maintains a wildlife habitat on the shores of Lake Erie's Sandusky Bay in Point Clinton, Ohio. The Conservancy's Winous Point Shooting Club is the oldest duck hunting club in North America, founded in 1856.
Each season, Miller sows Japanese millet - a delight for game ducks - over the vast mudflats. In years past, the Conservancy hired an airplane to broadcast the seeds, a costly and logistically challenging endeavor. A hovercraft gave Miller and his team an all-season access pass to the wetlands, and the freedom to work on their own schedule.
"You can get into a lot of spots with the hovercraft that you can't get a tractor or 4-wheeler or anything else into," he says. "And we can get out there whenever we need to. If we've got a good spot with a lot of mud showing we can just buy the seed and broadcast it over the mudflat. It's much less expensive and we're not relying on someone to do the flying. It also gives us a wider range of when we can put the millet on. We can stage different areas as we pull the water off and use the hovercraft at different times whenever we want."
Weather in the Ohio Valley runs the gamut and can make the marshes difficult or even impossible to reach. Strong winds can blow the water out of the access bay, leaving mud and soft sand - unnavigable by the punt boats and Louisiana pero boats normally used by the club. In winter, the thin ice is impassable. Their hovercraft allows the Winous Point Shooting club to ferry hunters to suitable hunting spots all season long, in all weather conditions.
Although Miller uses his hovercraft for work, it's not strictly business. "It's a real pleasure to fly," he says. "I was surprised by how exciting it is. But it is difficult. It's like driving your vehicle on ice - only three times worse. It'll go ways you'd never think of. You could probably end up doing a lot of damage to the hovercraft if you don't take the class."
Miller's team bought their hovercraft in a kit and assembled it themselves, which gave them a jump on the mechanics of the craft. Still, he credits Hovercraft Training Centers maintenance training for the team's ability to keep the craft shipshape completely in-house.
"Maintenance training definitely showed us what we need to be aware of," he notes. "Like how to repair a broken skirt, the general maintenance of the motor, sparks plugs. I might have been able to figure it out on my own over time, but you'll end up doing a lot of damage before then. It's easier just to learn it in class and be aware before you start."

D.C. United versus San Jose Earthquakes lineup: Trying to right the ship
Ben Olsen will try to right the ship after stumbling out of the gate so far
By Ben Bromley@BromleySoccer Mar 31, 2016, 11:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: D.C. United versus San Jose Earthquakes lineup: Trying to right the ship
Winless so far this season, D.C. United has a tough task on the West Coast this weekend: travel to San Jose and try and wring any possible points from the Earthquakes. They will have to do so without their best player so far this season, Marcelo Sarvas, and without their best player overall, Bill Hamid. Who will Olsen trot out to try and change the team's fortunes?
The main question, of course, is who will replace Sarvas, who is suspended for a red card in the FC Dallas game. Jared Jeffrey deputized in the latter half of that game, and is probably the favorite going into this match. However, Paul Clowes is a dedicated defensive midfielder, and this week in practice will be showing Olsen what having someone in that role might provide. But with Markus Halsti coming back to full training next week, I think Olsen will let Clowes keep getting time in Richmond; I think Jeffrey gets a chance to show over the course of a whole game what he can do here.
The other obvious change from last week is that Luciano Acosta will be starting; at this point in the season, he is too talented to leave on the bench, and so other players must make way for him. In this game, I think that player will be Fabian Espindola once again, with Lamar Neagle partnering Acosta and with Chris Rolfe and Patrick Nyarko on the wings.
Despite having just played 90 minutes on Tuesday, Steve Birnbaum will slot right back into central defense, and I think his partner will remain Bobby Boswell for now. Boswell's reliance on long passes and his lack of speed has been particularly exposed without Perry Kitchen in front of him, but Kofi Opare also did not have a great night on Saturday. At some point Olsen will have to make a change just to send a message, but I don't think that comes this week.
With this lineup, the substitutes would be Charlie Horton, Luke Mishu, Kofi Opare, Miguel Aguilar, Julian Buescher, Fabian Espindola, and Alvaro Saborio. I would like to see Aguilar be the first sub in, with Espindola coming in after that and then an evaluation for the last sub.
What do you want to see Ben Olsen do this Saturday?


Looking at setting up a community sports leauge and wondering if anyone has any experience of how you would go about getting some funding for it. I know there's Sports Council grants funded through lottery money but has anyone ever had any dealings with them? Any other source of funding anyone can think of?
Is this money requested to run the league or for infrastructure set-up or improvements?
Is it for target shooting? There might be conflicts of interest with public access. Generally all money from Lottery funds and grants generally have a lot of strings attached which mean your facilities must be made available to members of the public. You will probably be required to spend a considerable amount of money on disabled access as well.
A very large sum of money was offered to our sports club, but we had to decline it as the strings attached meant we would have effectively lost control of the club. There are also others factors such as local rates to consider. We get a hefty discount off our rates because we are a technically a charity - we would have lost this as well for some reason.
It wouldn't matter too much about the control thing as it would be set up with it's own constitution and be run by committee on behalf of the members, it's not something I'm looking to set up for profit purposes but rather to promote the sport in general. I'm not really that interested in running it as I have other stuff on, as I say, the committee would do that. Would be along the lines of a pub darts or 5-a-side league, etc.
I think by law, all rifle clubs must be invitation-only, which means by definition they are not open to the public. Public access and availability is a pre-requisite of receiving any public funds. So there is a conflict of interest here.
A lot of rifle clubs are rather antiquated, and facilities must be improved in order to qualify (such as wheelchair access) as well as the usual H&S stuff. Another very important thing that put us off, was the fact that if we accepted any money, and if the club ever folded, then the local council would take 100% ownership of the land, property and all assets, rather than the members.
If you are using other people's premises, then it may offer some protection against this, but equally, they may refuse it on these grounds. I think there were a handful of organisations that were able to offer money and it was all done through the local council rather than directly with the lottery, or sports council.
The money was there, but the attached strings were too much. We walked away.
You are correct in that generally, shooting clubs are members only, Home Office approved, etc, etc. However, there is an exemption in the Firearms Act for miniature rifle ranges. These do not need any approval nor do you need a certificate for the guns and ammunition and anyone participating doesn't need personal certificates, etc. This is how the Devises league operates. The only requirement would be that anyone shooting is not a person prohibited from possessing firearms under section 21 of the Act - ie; people who have served terms of imprisonment.
The Devises league operates in pubs, clubs and village halls and the like. There isn't any reason in therory why any new league couldn't do something similar. It was very, very popular at one time as virtually every town and village had a team and ranges were all over the place.
Like I said, it's not at any advanced stage yet and is just something I've had in my head for ages and was just pondering as to whether funding might be available in some form or other.

Let's take it one step at a time. Windows comes in one of a kind types, for example, XP, Vista, 7 and so on. So does Linux, however, there are a few fundamental differences among the 2.
At the time of writing, there are literally masses of Linux Distributions available from loads of various agencies all supplying their very own "flavor" of Linux. Since there's nobody agency in fee of Linux development distributions can fork off and take their personal route, as an instance Slackware is aimed toward the Linux seasoned in which Smoothwall is a dedicated firewall. Chances are there is a distribution which fits your own non-public criteria.
OK, so which one is excellent? Well, this relies upon to your own point of view. Linux professionals may like Slackware or Gentoo, intermediates with some know-how of Linux may like Fedora even as general newbies would possibly like Ubuntu or Mint. Your exceptional wager is to check Distrowatch to peer a listing of all of the distributions and pick the only that fits you.
This is wherein Windows users will typically perk up and say Linux is garbage, it has no help, no applications, you have to use the command line all the time and it isn't always well suited with something. Let's use Linux Mint 12 as an instance. Linux Mint 12 comes with the choice of 30,000 programs so that you can download in case you wish. Does sir want a package to play their CD's on then how approximately Rhythmbox or a bundle of snapshots then use GIMP? You see there is a package deal for pretty much whatever you can wish for.
What approximately aid? You can use the net network boards to your distribution for recommendations and solutions on how to restoration any troubles that you may have (inside the equal way you do for home windows). The thing is that you will probably have fewer things cross wrong with a Linux gadget than you will with home windows.
As for the command line, you can use it if you wish but it isn't important. It is real that to fully apprehend Linux the command line is vital but if you best need to browse the internet, download programs and simply do all the usual stuff then you definitely do not need to go close to it.
So shall we round up? Linux HAS to assist, Linux HAS heaps of programs, you DON'T must use the command line if you don't need to and IS like-minded with all the standards (just store stuff as a document report as an instance). It is likewise more strong, free (no license price) and also you DON'T have to worry about viruses. Go on give it a move!

Day 6: Robert White (c.1538-1574) was a Catholic recusant Tudor composer who after graduating from Cambridge went up to the beautiful cathedral of Ely, where he succeeded his father-in-law, the great Christopher Tye. After working at Chester, he took over the chorus at Westminster Abbey until he and his entire family were killed by the plague. This beautiful setting of the "Tota pulchra es" reminds us why he was so beloved both by his contemporaries and those English composers who came after.

2020 Commencement Magazine
Back to The News-Letter
Dear Class of 2020,
You have had a tumultuous college experience to say the least. As freshmen, you witnessed the election of one of our country's most controversial presidents and a subsequent outpour of activism within the student body. Many of you marched alongside friends, family and millions of strangers worldwide in the first Women's March. Four years later, this commitment to equity is more important than ever as you graduate into a pandemic and a recession — a time of unprecedented uncertainty.
Life at Hopkins has drastically changed throughout your time here. You were the last year to have covered grades, but you were also the last class to endure life in the AMRs without air conditioning. You've seen endings like the end of legacy admissions — and you've seen beginnings — such as the University's newfound efforts to expand mental health resources. You watched as Hopkins received a historic $1.8 billion donation, announced the future student center and began implementing a private police force.
No one assumed that this year's Commencement celebrations would be held virtually, that senior spring would be cut short, that graduating students would have to leave campus without saying goodbye. But if we've learned anything about the Class of 2020, it's that you have the strength and intelligence to endure whatever comes next.
On behalf of The News-Letter, we wish you the best of luck as you embark on the next chapter of your life.
