Why the LGBTQ+ Community deserves a non-commodified Pride
Thomas Sayers
Share on Facebook Share on Whatsapp Write a story
LGBTQ+ Pride has always been, and should always remain a space to protest.
It's really tempting to celebrate Ariana headlining Manchester Pride, but this isn't necessarily something to celebrate.
Ariana Grande shouldn't be headlining Pride, but the fact that Manchester Pride was turned into a music festival with paid tickets to begin with already excludes poorer members of the LGBTQ+ community, and dillutes the event's supposed stand against systemic oppression
— Luqmaan (@luqmaank99) February 28, 2019
Pride is not a music festival, and should not be an opportunity for people to make money. LGBTQ+ Pride is first and foremost for those who want to protest for their rights and celebrate their identity, and they shouldn't have to pay to do that. The issue surrounding the cost of Pride is deeper than "we shouldn't have to pay"—by charging for tickets (especially such a high price) those members of the LGBTQ+ community who haven't a disposable income can't attend, and chances are the people who need to be at this event the most are those who are priced out of it.
"But poor people can still go to the parade!"
That's not the point, yes the parade is free, but the organisers are privatising the spaces in which the Community should be celebrating, but instead these spaces such as The Gay Village in Birmingham or St. James's Street in Brighton are left exclusive to those with a disposable income, regardless of their need for an LGBTQ+ Pride. A festival costs a lot of money to put on (I know, trust me), but there are ways of covering these costs without obscene ticket prices, and if that isn't the case, then perhaps the viability of the event ought to be considered in relation to organisers' 'target audience'—or is their target audience in fact not who they claim?
It's not just the performers...
The issues surrounding the commercialisation of Pride don't stop at the performers: there are plenty of Pride events affiliated with brands who don't support the cause, either directly or indirectly. Last year Brighton Pride was supported by British Airways, who deport LGBTQ+ Asylum Seekers on their charter flights. The so-called Community Interest Company who organise Brighton Pride showed non-inclusive approach to Pride by doing this: as in, they support LGBTQ+ people who are British, but when it comes to non-British LGBTQ+ people, their rights are clearly deemed less important.

They want your views on the future of the PVP, including whether it should continue, where it should take place and any other changes people would like to be made to the event.

Pride and Identity
In recent weeks, Parkfield Community School in Birmingham made the decision to end its lessons on same-sex relationships following pressure from parents. The parents were concerned over the age-appropriateness of the education and the incompatibility with religion, something which Shabana Mahmood (MP for Birmingham Ladywood) explained in a parliamentary debate. On the surface, one may find it perfectly acceptable for a parent to opt their child out of RSE (relationships and sex education), but it is far from productive.
It's vital that schools follow the guidance for teaching #RSE, with parental engagement and proper consideration for pupils' religion and background. Yesterday, I made this clear to Education ministers in response to a petition signed by 1,763 #Birmingham #Ladywood constituents. pic.twitter.com/M3Whe4SgDs
— Shabana Mahmood (@ShabanaMahmood) February 26, 2019
So what's all the fuss about?
Parkfield Community School's initiative entitled "No Outsiders" was aimed at reducing homophobia through educating children and most importantly normalising same-sex relationships. RSE is nothing new to Primary education—we all learnt (to different extents) the basics of heterosexual relationships at that age, which immediately mitigates the 'age-appropriateness' argument.
Depriving children of this precious education is homophobic and it is not a decision parents should have the right to make. Just this week I was speaking to someone in Birmingham who identified as bisexual, having recently discovered sexuality is not always binary—so while it may be acceptable to be gay, we're not being taught about the LGBTQ+ community, we're not being taught that it's perfectly normal to be LGBTQ+: and be doing so we are teaching children is that it's shameful.
(Video CW: homophobia)
Watching this is absolutely gut wrenching.
Listen to what he's shouting. What the parents and kids are chanting.
"Telling people that it is okay... for you to be gay. Shame. Shame. Shame Shame."https://t.co/W4ZOM9rtHh
— Tom Harwood (@tomhfh) March 7, 2019
The protests which followed outside the Brummie School are particularly damaging for young people, especially children who themselves identify as LGBTQ+ (whether Out or not) as they are being told by their role models and influential people in their lives including their parents and carers, that their identity is not valid and should be hidden.
The fact is that Pride is not a commodity to be sold and needs to be accessible to people such as those caught in the crossfire of Parkfield Community—they need a space to feel comfortable to be themselves, because out in the normal world this is not always possible, and even when it is, it's not easy. Without an accessible, public (and therefore not commodified) Pride, this is not easy to find, especially for younger people (Manchester Pride is an 18+ event).

It is clear there is still a long way to go in order to change attitudes - if there was true equality there would be no issues in teaching kids about all kinds of relationships. When you go to Pride, whoever you are, you should keep in mind these issues and make sure your voice is heard.

The metric system is a measurement system that uses decimals and goes by tens.
See the picture below for the stair step.
Why are the metric system and the SI units so important and useful?
Well, the majority of the world actually uses the metric system. So if you go to another country it wouldn't be miles and Fahrenheit instead it would be meters and Celsius. Once again it is measured in the powers of ten which is very convenient.
What is the metric stair step and how can I remember it?
The metric stair step is a method to help with the units.
Si stands for International System of Units. Why is it called Si then? Si comes from the French word Système International d'Unités which is the same as International System of Units. The base units are meter, liter, gram, and kelvin.
Yes, there actually is abbreviations for length, volume, mass, temperature, and time. Length is meters which you can make 'M'. Volume would be liter which you can make L. Mass is gram which can be G. Temperature is Kelvin which can be K.
It was created during the French Revolution, June 22, 1799. In 1832, Gauss promoted the Metric system. He was the first to create the absolute measurements of the Earth's magnetic force of the decimal system.

ROME — Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin said on Wednesday that a controversial deal with Beijing on the appointment of Roman Catholic bishops in China would be renewed.
The deal, which was first signed two years ago and expires on Thursday, will be renewed for another two years, he said.

Will the loss of the charitable deduction ruin the fabric of the nonprofit sector and cause the end of the world? Only if getting something out of the act of giving is more important than the positive change that happens through the church and its related nonprofits.
Are we asking – even expecting – an increasing number of people to use the financial equivalent of a rotary-dial phone in an era of smartphones and chip-enabled debit cards?
Those of us serving the Synod's corporate headquarters, especially those within Mission Advancement, are bound by God's Word — in passages like Phil. 4:8 — and by this code as we work alongside anyone who has or is considering making a charitable investment in our Synod's work.
Even though sending used clothes sounds like the 'easy' way to help, gift cards can be an incredibly effective way to give real physical assistance to an individual or a family.
Technique is all well and good. However, one lesson I learned is worth far more than all the rest: It's not what you know, it's who you know.

Before I was a photographer I was a physicist. I helped to create the world's first low temperature STM microscope that could slow the particles of an atom down so they could be "electronically" photographed by a chemically etched probe. All of this happened on a scale most people can hardly even comprehend. I bring this up because my experience with micro-electronics and CCD's gives me a different perspective than that held by the masses out there shooting digital. Don't get me wrong, digital is rewriting what is possible in photography, but we have only seen the tip of the iceberg in terms of what it can resolve, and that is where medium format will come in.
I hear a lot of people saying "medium format is dead." Pro photographers are selling off their medium format gear everywhere you look. Medium format seems redundant next to the latest 12 and 16 MP professional 35mm DSLRs. As a result medium format camera companies are having a very rough time staying afloat. But I can see in the very near future that they will have reason to celebrate once again. Physics tells us that in order to increase resolution you need to increase the size of the lens and the size of the medium the information is being recorded on. In digital we have already seen this - an 8 MP image from a tiny ʻpoint and shoot' sensor is inferior to an 8 MP image from a 35mm sized DSLR sensor. And it is well known that the larger the photo site on a CCD the lower the noise and the higher the image quality. All this boils down to the fact that as resolution increases the sensor size and lens diameter will have to increase as well and that is where medium format cameras will make their comeback.
A perfect example of this is Canon's EOS 1Ds Mark II with its 16.7 MP sensor. It is a fantastic camera and Canon is to be commended. Sadly, I don't own one personally but I am hearing from many who do that they have to use the best lenses Canon makes because the sensor is very close to outresolving the lenses. No matter how well you make a 35mm lens it can only resolve so much information. A Hasselblad lens still out resolves any 35mm lens, that is just physics. Optics will be the limiting factor for digital imaging. I predict that 35mm DSLRs will top out around 22 to 25 MP. Above that you will have to use medium format to get higher resolution with digital. And I predict the limiting factor will be the size of the lenses, not the sensor size. Of course at 22 MP you may ask why would we need anything larger? But one look at a life-like print from a medium format 35 MP camera will have us all drooling.


When he got home, he would sit on the steps and enjoy a few minutes of centered breathing while reciting his mantra, which was "calm down calm down," before the kids came running out and grabbed his legs and sometimes even bit him quite hard in their excitement and Ruth came out to remind him in an angry tone that he wasn't the only one who'd worked all day, and as he walked he gazed out at the beautiful Taganac in an effort to absorb something of her serenity but instead found himself obsessing about the faulty hatch on the gate, which theoretically could allow Annie to toddle out of the yard and into the river, and he pictured himself weeping on the shore, and to eradicate this thought started manically whistling "The Stars and Stripes Forever," while slapping his hands against his sides.
In honor of his new story collection Tenth of December, which is getting raves all over the place and which I desperately want to procure and take home to read cover to cover while ignoring all of my duties, here's a classic George Saunders sentence. Taken from a headlong short story from the collection Pastoralia, this sentence makes me laugh out loud and drops us right into the middle of a consciousness of Morse. Morse's mind is a manic, neurotic minefield–in other words, he's like any of us, at least on certain days. Here and throughout the story, he plays out endless possibilities, some horrifying, some hopeful, and is only loosely in control of his own mind, or his life for that matter. I feel for him; I root for him in all his disfunction and mania.
And that's what I love most about Saunders: no matter how strange or dystopian the situation–and he is a master of the strange and the dystopian–his characters are real people with beating hearts, people I can imagine myself being, similarly conflicted, corrupted, doomed, and searching for redemption at great cost.

El río Kitói  es un río de Rusia que discurre por el óblast de Irkutsk y la república de Buriatia, en Siberia oriental. Es un afluente del Angará por la izquierda, por lo que es un subafluente del Yeniséi.

Geografía

El Kitói tiene una longitud de 316 km. Su cuenca hidrográfica tiene una superficie de 9.190 km² y su caudal medio asciende a 118 m³/s.

El río nace de la unión de dos torrentes constituyentes el Samarta y el Urda-Ulyta, en la vertiente septentrional de los montes Sayanes orientales. Discurre globalmente en dirección del nordeste, y desemboca en el Angará a la altura de la gran ciudad de Angarsk.

Con la excepción de esta ciudad, no pasa por ninguna localidad de relevancia.

El Kitói permanece bajo los hielos desde noviembre a finales del mes de abril.

Afluentes

 el Toisuk (orilla derecha)

Hidrometría - Caudal mensual en Kitói

El caudal del Kitói ha sido observado durante 40 años (1947-1990) en Kitói, localidad situada a 12 km de su desembocadura en el Angará.

El caudal interanual medio observado en la estación de Kitói en este periodo fue de 118 m³/s para una superficie de drenaje de 8.420 km², lo que representa un 92 % de la totalidad de la cuenca del río. La lámina de agua vertida en esta cuenca alcanzó los 444 mm por año, que debe ser considerada como bastante elevada, pero correspondiente a los valores de otros ríos de la región.

Río alimentado sobre todo por las lluvias de verano, el Kitói es un río de régimen pluvial.

Las crecidas se desarrollan en verano, de junio a septiembre, con una cima en julio-agosto, correspondiente al máximo pluviométrico de la región (ver climograma de Irkutsk). En septiembre, el caudal comienza a bajar, y este descenso se acentúa en octubre y noviembre, dando inicio al periodo de estiaje, que tiene lugar desde noviembre-diciembre hasta marzo-abril, y corresponde a las heladas intensas que se abaten sobre toda Siberia.

El caudal medio mensual observado en marzo (mínimo de estiaje) fue de 25 m³/s, lo que representa más de un 8 % del caudal medio del mes de julio, máximo del año (298 m³/s), lo que subraya una amplitud de las variaciones estacionales bastante moderada, al menos en el contexto siberiano.

Estas diferencias pueden ser más importantes a lo largo de los años: así, en los 40 años del estudio, el caudal mensual mínimo ha sido 14.7 m³/s en febrero de 1957, mientras que el caudal mensual máximo fue de 581 m³/s en julio de 1952.

En lo que concierne al periodo libre de hielos (de junio a octubre incluido), el caudal mensual mínimo observado fue de 61.8 m³/s en octubre de 1958.

Crossing the Cornfield
January inclusivity reading and shortening the gap in reviewing
On reading your own books and moving
Crossing the Cornfield: 01/16/17
In my review of "It's a Good Life" by Jerome Bixby, I looked at the roll the cornfield plays. I said it "serves as a barrier, marking a threshold between the safety (perceived or actual) of the town and the outside." Further, I suggested that those who can cross the cornfield and can otherwise control have power over everyone else — even if they don't perceive their power.
And this got me to thinking about Oz. Oz is a kingdom of four countries ruled from a centrally located capital, the Emerald City. The kingdom is encircled by an impassable desert. In later books this desert is then described as being encircled by various seas. The other key factor about Oz is that it's compass is flipped from ours so that east is west and west is east.
This flipping of the compass along one axis makes me think of "the upside-down" as described in "Chapter Five: The Flea and the Acrobat" episode of Stranger Things. Despite Oz's remoteness and the Ozian subjects being unable to cross out of their kingdom, there are outsiders who can get in (and out) of Oz.
Before Dorothy, there was the Wizard. He came to Oz by way of balloon from Omaha, Nebraska. Dorothy, on her first journey, came via tornado from Kansas. Interestingly, too, the wizard claims he had the Emerald City built — though that explanation is ignored in later volumes, especially with the return to power of Ozma.
Let us suppose perhaps that he found the Emerald City in ruins, inhabited by shepherds and their flocks. Let us suppose he had the city rebuilt, rather that built from whole-cloth.
Now there is Dorothy who rides her house through a tornado to Oz. Her very first act upon landing in Munchkin Country is to crush the Wicked Witch of the East to death. The Munchkins having their long time oppressor suddenly dead assume that the girl who has come from the direction of an impassible desert and infinite sea must be a witch herself. She promptly denies their claim, speaking towards her innate ability to understand the cornfield. Her act of crossing it was one of survival, not of travel with the aim to conquer.
Later in the Road to Oz, Dorothy and a raggedy man travel back to Oz by way of the cornfield. It all begins when the raggedy man arrives at the Gale farmstead and asks for directions to Butterfield. Dorothy's instructions begin with: "You cross the ten-acre lot, follow the lane to highway, go north to the five branches, and—" Essentially the traveler is asking to get to an impossible place from where he is starting. Dorothy, to show him the way, ends up having to show him. Together they get lost at the five branches and after numerous adventures, end up in Oz. Had she taken the long way around — sticking to actually roads — none of this would have happened.
The thing that the travelers have in common is their proximity to cornfields. It's not the cornfield itself, per se, that allows them in, but, I argue, their understanding of cornfields that allow them safe passage.


This document, was issued to allow the Schooner Eineline with the Captain Nicholas Moran to leave the harbour in New York in 1804, carrying, Sugar, Beeswax, Piments, Pepper, Coffee, and Cotton - signed by President Thomas Jefferson and his Secretary of State James Madison, with the important embossed paper Seal of the President of the U.S.A. and embossed with the paper Seal of The Secretary of State - dates from the United States' early years. " JEFFERSON (1743-1826) served as third U.S. President from 1801 to1809. A former delegate to the Continental Congress from Virginia (1775-1776, 1783-1784), Jefferson drafted and signed the Declaration of Independence (1776). He then served as Governor of Virginia (1779-1781) and as a member of Virginia's state legislature (1782). Named U.S. Minister to France in 1785, Jefferson remained abroad until 1789, when he was asked by George Washington to be his Secretary of State (1790-1793). Jefferson then served as Vice President under John Adams (1797-1801) until being elected the third President of the U.S.A.. A man of many talents, Jefferson has been called "the Sage of Monticello" and "the Father of the University of Virginia", to become one of America's greatest Presidents.
MADISON (1751-1836, born in Port Conway, Virginia), America's fourth President (1809-1817), had a mixed record as chief executive, suffering the indignity of having his White House burned by British troops, but his contribution to American liberty is enormous. A veteran of the Virginia legislature and the Continental Congress, Madison earned the sobriquet "Father of the Constitution" for his role in the shaping of that document. (His thorough notes on the Constitutional Convention, deliberately withheld until 1840 when all participants were dead, is our principal source of information on its debates) He wrote at least 26 of the "Federalist Papers", the lucid expositions on the advantages of a federal system, which proved invaluable in securing the ratification of the Constitution in the state conventions by demonstrating that individual rights could be protected within a strong federal government. He was equally responsible, as a Congressional leader, for adoption of the Bill of Rights. As leader of the emerging Democratic-Republican Party in the federal Congress, and as Secretary of State (1801-1809) as well as President, he was among the most important of the "Founding Fathers.


Universal Children's Day is an annual holiday aimed at celebrating the happiness and well-being of children across the globe. Also simply called "Children's Day," the holiday also recognizes and calls attention to children's rights. It is observed every November 20th in many countries, although some nations choose different dates.
Universal Children's Day was first introduced by the United Nations General Assembly on December 14, 1954. The purpose was to help children increase awareness of other people their age across the world to establish understanding and empathy. Many nations were quick to adopt the holiday. The U.N. chose November 20th as the date for Universal Children's Day, although other nations can celebrate it on other days as seen fit.
Other major events have tied into the holiday. For example, the United Nations passed the Declaration of the Rights of Child and the Convention on the Rights of the Child on November 20th on 1959 and 1989, respectively. In turn, these actions helped to transform Universal Children's Day into a holiday that both celebrates and fights for the rights of children.
November 20th is the official date chosen by the United Nations for Universal Children's Day. During the General Assembly session in December 1954, the United Nations declared the date as Children's Day, but also encouraged countries to choose a date that was the best fit for them. This is why most countries celebrate Children's Day every November 20th, but others still have variations on the holiday.
The United States recognizes Universal Children's Day, but also has a different date to celebrate the holiday. Instead, National Child's Day is celebrated in June. It is not a public holiday, which means that the government remains open. However, many government institutions, such as the White House, may participate in special celebrations surrounding the holiday.
Other nations choose to celebrate Universal Children's Day on different dates. For example, Thailand recognizes Children's Day on the second Saturday in January, and South Africa recognizes the holiday during the first Saturday in November. No matter what the date, November 20th is still the one most recognized and celebrated by the United Nations. This is also the time where most of the campaigning takes place for action to promote children's rights.
Universal Children's Day is a date of celebrating the children around the world. This gives kids a great opportunity to learn about other children outside of their own country. Not only can this heighten culture awareness, but it can also transform into future incentives to take social action.
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) is the subset of the United Nations that is primarily responsible for carrying out Universal Children's Day awareness and action. While the goal is to celebrate children worldwide, there are many other serious aspects of the holiday to consider. From UNICEF's standpoint, this is an ideal time to raise awareness about issues concerning the rights of children. This includes forced labor, abuse, and trafficking, as well as the denial of education and basic health services. By raising awareness, we can take action to make sure that all children can get the help they deserve and have a fair shot at life.
UNICEF is also known for tackling other issues surrounding children's health on Universal Children's Day, such as breastfeeding and access to immunizations.

Justin Edinburgh – Farewell to a legend
Fisher Football club were saddened to learn of the passing of Justin Edinburgh last Saturday. Justin is fondly remembered by many at the club from his role as manager of Fisher Athletic, during our time spent playing at Dulwich Hamlet's Champion Hill ground.
After a playing career that included over 200 games for Tottenham Hotspur, Justin arrived at Fisher in January 2006, having cut his managerial teeth at Billericay Town. He took over a side sitting fourth in the Ryman Premier League and started in impressive fashion with a 5-0 victory over Redbridge. It was a sign of things to come as Justin's attacking style saw the goals flood in with Fisher finishing the regular league season in third spot, picking up the Westview League Cup for good measure as well. A successful play off campaign saw Fisher beat Hampton & Richmond in the final and earn Justin's side a place in the Conference South for the following season.
Having put together one of the strongest Fisher squads since the Conference days of the late eighties, Justin's side took to the higher league with ease, racking up 36 goals in the first 15 games before Justin moved on to take control at Grays Athletic. A spell at Rushden and Diamonds followed before he took Newport County up from the Conference to deservedly become a league manager. His reputation grew further from spells at Gillingham and Northampton before his managerial skills and expertise helped rebuild Leyton Orient and return to them their league status last season.
Justin remained in touch with several of the Fisher faithful and always asked of the clubs fortunes when meeting up. He always had time for the fans and a commitment to the club, which he clearly took with him to all his future clubs. Justin was just 49 years old and was surely set to rise further up the leagues. He will be missed by the football community as a whole and by all at Fisher, who send our deepest condolences to his wife Kerri and their children.
Justin Edinburgh (1969-2019)

This week there will not be a regular TMCP podcast show. Last week one of my closest friends in the world died unexpectedly, and the past several days have been a whirlwind. As a result, I just wasn't able to get a full show out this week, but I did want to put out a little something explaining why.
Next week I plan to do a full show as a tribute to my friend Scotty Petersen. While Scott wasn't a car guy at all, he was a huge influence on me and (I've realized) is one of the reasons that I decided to start this show years ago. In the little blurb that I recorded I included a funny movie clip from one of our favorite movies, Plains, Trains, and Automobiles starring John Candy and Steve Martin. Scott could quote every scene by heart, so I included one of his favorites into this week's update (the famous "melted speedometer").
Look for a full show next week – and thanks for your support.

Everyone wants a piece of the Pi.
Get creative. No, more creative than that. Keep going.
Samsung has scrapped its Raspberry Pi 3 competitor called Artik 10 as it moves to create smaller and more powerful boards to create gadgets, robots, drones and IoT devices.
Google wants to bring smarts to cool gadgets and devices made using Raspberry Pi 3 or Intel's Edison.
If you want to fashion a smart gadget, robot or drone with wireless capabilities on the cheap, a $9.99 development board from Orange Pi will help you reach that goal.

Only 3 days left to listen to this on the BBC iplayer, so get to it!
From the left: Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders), Deborah Harry (Blondie), Viv Albertine (The Slits), Siouxsie Sioux (Siouxsie & the Banshees), front: Poly Styrene (X-Ray Spex), Pauline Black (The Selector).
Harking back to the famous photograph taking by Michael Putland for the New Musical News in 1980, Pauline Black, lead singer of two tone band The Selector interviews Viv Albertine (The Slits), Poly Styrene (X-Ray Spex), Siouxie Sioux (Siouxie and the Banshees) and Gaye Advert (The Adverts) about their experiences as female musicians of the "new wave" in the late 70s, early 80s.
Particularly interesting for me was Pauline's mention of the fact that both she & Poly Styrene were mixed-race, which affected how, Pauline at any rate, presented herself on stage. The topic didn't really get much further than this mention, but it was very intriguing, and I'd love to hear more about what the two women have to say on the matter.
Oddly, she interviews Jean-Jacques Burnel, lead singer of the Stranglers, and he discusses how his band were sadly misunderstood, and even persecuted by the feminists of the day, boo-hoo to him. I thought it quite an excellent juxtaposition though, to have all these amazing women who inspired and empowered so many other women, speaking about their experiences alongside someone who was their peer, and yet who achieved exactly the opposite effect.


As a coach, I'm all about self discovery and crafting a deep, authentic understanding of personal values. In short, I mine for authenticity. It's important in a "what you see is what you get" kind of way. Imagine! If people were authentically themselves at work, at home, with friends, with strangers, in church, while socializing ... in short, 24/7. With authentic lives, we'd have meaningful connection with others. And that leads me to another passion: community. I believe as a society, we've lost our sense of community, and along with it, the meaningful connection of satisfying relationships. But I also believe that not all is lost. So imagine my excitement when I realized I could roll up my desire for authentic living, satisfying relationships and meaningful connection into Authentically You Coaching Circles. This group process creates supportive, vibrant communities where none existed. But you can read more about this concept on the pages here at Authentically You Coaching Circles, and I encourage you to do that. The Details I completed training in personal coaching through The Coaches Training Institute (CTI) and training in relationship and systems coaching through the Center for Right Relationship's Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) program. I lead workshops and individual sessions for: - personality type (MBTI | Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the MMTIC / Murphy-Meiseger Type Indicator for Children), - relationship awareness (SDI | Strength Deployment Inventory), - emotional intelligence.(EQ-I 2.0), and - Jungian archetypes (PMAI | Pearson-Marr Archetype Inventory) The Fun Stuff My two top values in life are authenticity and humor, closely followed by integrity and honesty (which are all a part of authenticity, in my mind). My blog at jcrowcoaching.com allows me an outlet for that English degree from so many years ago, not to mention the Journalism degree that followed. The jury's still out on the history degree, however.

Frasinetti Winery was founded on the southern edge of Sacramento, California in 1897. The annivesary marks 112 years of wine production, making Frasinetti the oldest family-owned and operated wine producer in the Sacramento valley. James Frasinetti, the founder, was an Italian immigrant who brought with him the "Old World" winemaking knowledge and a desire to build a reputation for his quality wine.
Originally, wines were delivered into Sacramento by horse-drawn wagons. At its peak, Frasinetti Winery had planted 400 acres and was shipping wine by the railroad distributing as far as the East Coast. Prohibition struck in the 1920's and most all wine production ceased. The winery survived by selling grapes for table use and making "altar wine" for the church. During this period, the Frasinetti family concentrated on farming. During the 1940's, expansion was the winery's path. The 1950's brought with it a demise of the agricultural growing area. There was also a cultural shift with people moving away from this rural community. The decade of the 1960's was introduced with a wine boom. Wine was no longer used only at special occasions, or just by the "Old World" population.
The 1970's saw the third generation grandsons, Gary and Howard Frasinetti, take over operation of the winery and begin to make changes from a winery that produced generic wines in large Redwood vats, to a small progressive winery blending old traditions with improved methods of the present. Howard and Gary Frasinetti have continued to produce varietal wines with emphasis directed to quality and use of Oak and redwood cooperage.
In 1985 Howard and Gary established a restaurant in the old "East Wine Cellar" among the cement fermentation tanks and large Redwood wine vats. Through the 1990's the winery and restaurant have remained a successful operation, serving banquets in the large banquet rooms, and weddings outside in the Grande Gazebo, making special moments memorable in a beautiful historic setting.

I acquired a suite in a hotel some 17 years ago, claiming full tax relief over the following seven years under the hotels' allowances scheme. The hotel closed seven or eight years ago and is now in a total state of disrepair; unoccupied; and worthless. Am I in a position to claim the full cost of this investment as a loss for CGT purposes?
In general, the occasion of complete destruction or extinction of an asset is treated as a disposal of the asset for capital gains tax (CGT) purposes, even where no capital sum is received by way of compensation or otherwise. This may give rise to a loss, or a gain if compensation is received. This is often referred to as a "negligible value claim".
The word negligible is not defined under Irish tax legislation and therefore takes its normal meaning, ie not worth considering; insignificant. The Irish legislation relating to a "negligible value claim" is not intended to be a provision for making losses available on an artificial basis in circumstances where there would be no impediment to their actual disposal in the market place. Therefore, the owner of the asset must make a claim to Revenue for the allowance of a loss on an asset the value of which has become negligible even though the asset remains in existence. If, on a claim being made, Revenue is satisfied that the value of the asset has become negligible, they may allow a loss.
If a claim is accepted by Revenue, the person disposing of the asset is treated as if he/she had sold it and immediately reacquired it for a consideration equal to its market value at that time. The loss is computed based on the amount equal to the value specified in the claim.
On a strict interpretation of the Irish legislation, a loss arising on a deemed disposal is allowable only in the year of claim. However, in practice, Revenue has permitted a claim made within 12 months of the end of the year of assessment or accounting period for which relief is sought, provided that the asset was of negligible value in the year of assessment or account period concerned.
Expenditure that qualified for capital allowances is not ineligible for deduction in computing chargeable gains. However, where a loss arises on the disposal of the asset, the amount of the loss available for set-off against chargeable gains is restricted by any capital allowances claimed.
Therefore, where allowable expenditure on the asset has already been fully recouped by way of capital allowances, the Irish tax legislation precludes relief for the loss incurred; ie expenditure that has fully qualified for capital allowances restricts a negligible loss claim and, in such circumstances, the capital loss is not available for offset against capital gains.

Title: Gordon Hirabayashi Interview II
Narrator: Gordon Hirabayashi
Interviewers: Tom Ikeda (primary), Alice Ito (secondary)
Densho ID: denshovh-hgordon-02-0011
<Begin Segment 11>
GH: And then we get back, we're doing this in Seattle, too. But, because of that -- soon, right after we registered and turned our selective service form in, in due course we got back 1-A. So we appealed 1-A with a statement defending our reasons. And then they scheduled a hearing for us to appear before their board. And then if -- and what could follow is after our discussion they could, they could question us further, they could ask for witnesses to speak for us. Well, in both Howard and my case, we were asked to come and we, we presented our stuff, and then we answered their questions, and then in due course we got 4-E, both of us. And so that, that's the classification for conscientious objectors, who at a certain point may be eligible, they're eligible, they may be called to civilian public service camps.
TI: But this was an example of you going through the process of you having a certain point of view that was probably counter to what the government wanted you to do. But you went through this process, challenged it and got the CO classification.
GH: Yeah, I got it. If I didn't get it, I would've reapplied. Protested my thing further, maybe to another appeals level or something. But I would've fought it. I fought for it further. And then in the end, some people who never did get it by their board -- some boards were very narrow -- in the University District they tend to be more liberals 'cause they're hearing more argue-, they're used to hearing more alternative positions. So, but those people who, who can't get what they feel they believe in and stand for, they'll stand for it and then take the alternative. Refuse their response and then take a jail sentence.
TI: What kind of reaction were you getting from your family and friends as you were going through this process?
GH: Yeah. My family, of course, are sympathetic to my arguments. They're saying, well in a time of war -- by the time I'm discussing this it's time of war -- and also coming up is my objection to the government's uprooting program based on -- for those who are to be uprooted defined only in terms of ancestry. That's the only reason --
TI: But even before we, but even before we get there, just the, the issue of being a conscientious objector...
GH: Yeah.
TI: ...was unusual for someone from the Japanese American community to do that. And I was curious what reaction --
GH: Well, it certainly, it certainly un-, was unusual in the sense that there weren't very many. Hardly any other, there must have been a few, but hardly any other. So it was very unusual. But my position was -- I give the government this -- was sufficiently regarded as sincere, misled maybe, but sincere, so that I wasn't accused of being avoiding, or just trying to get out of things, or I had some sinister motive like disloyalty. They just felt that I was -- but, but, since, since this is a legal position, it was easier for me to argue that.
TI: Right, with, with --
GH: Because I could, I could ask for something that's given as an option.
TI: But to the, to the average person who wasn't as familiar with the legal issues, and just responses from say, some of the Nisei at the Japanese Students Club, or the people at the Y. What, what kind of reaction were you getting from them?
GH: Well, on the whole, they, by this, by this time they're, they're seeing me as one of the established conscientious objectors, so the sincerity of my position was not questioned. Whether they would take that position or not was the question they would face when looking at it for themselves. But, when they're regarding my position, they'd say, "Well, I don't agree with it, but I, I think he's sincere." Let's see now... well, now in terms of the question you asked, that's, that's the way that it arose to me. My parents, even to the, not going -- not coming home and move, moving with them -- my mother and father both said they understood and they admired me for taking a stand like that, "As clearly as you're doing it, at a time when it's, so many unknowns are in the picture and you, you hesitate because of that, but we admire you for that. But if a government can do this kind of drastic action they could do anything to keep us from ever getting together again," that's the mother, you know --
AI: Excuse me. So you're saying that a little bit later your mother --
AI: -- brings up the fact that if a, if the government can put this exclusion order out and take everyone away, then there could be other drastic measures.
GH: Yeah. They'll have no trouble keeping us apart. We'll never get together. And, and she, she therefore wanted to have the family together. And she said, "I understand, but think about this, and we want to keep our family together." And --
TI: And Gordon, she's referring to really going to Puyallup?
TI: Or not Puyallup, but Pine-, Pinedale together --
GH: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
TI: -- as a family, and this is a little bit later.
GH: And, and I carried with me a guilt feeling, 'cause I couldn't, I couldn't bend myself to accommodate her wishes. And for that I didn't realize it, but I found out about two months later when they moved from Pinedale to the permanent camp, Tule Lake. When they were unpacking, a door knocked and she went to open it. And they were unpacking, in their beautiful suite, you know -- [laughs] -- and two ladies, kinda dusty, it was a hot day, they said, they identified themselves, they were from -- I don't know what that fishing village was called in Los Angeles Harbor.
TI: Terminal Island.
GH: Terminal Island. "We're from Terminal Island in Los Angles Harbor. And we're one of the first to be moved, and so we, we were one of the first to come to Tule Lake. Some of the others went to Manzanar, but we came up to Tule Lake and so we're, we're at the other end of camp. We had to walk about a mile and a half so we're kind of dusty here now. But we heard that the family of the one that, whose boy is in Seattle fighting the case for us was arriving, so we wanted to be here to say welcome, and to say thank-you for your son." And she's describing this in a Japanese letter tablet which is about half of a typewriter page, and, and she's saying -- after she described it, she said, "You know, I got a big lift out of that visit." And suddenly, that's when I found out I was carrying a weight. A big load left my shoulders I didn't know I was carrying. 'Cause I knew there was no way I could be standing right next to her and give her that kind of lift. So I was absolved in, in a sense. And, but I didn't realize that. I was feeling that I upset her. I couldn't do what she asked with tears and everything. And I guess what she was saying was, "In spite of the tears, I had this big lift because you weren't here." She wasn't putting it that way, but that's what it amounted to, so I was cleared.
And, but, in Hawaii, when I was listening to this Nisei person, she said, "You know, when I was young I was real angry, but it never even occurred to us we could've said no, to the whole thing. But it didn't occur to us." And we, we -- and some people were objecting at various stages against, against their own people who were in charge of administration for different levels of responsibility. It would've been much clearer to say, "No," to the government right at the top. But it's -- I had, I had opportunity to face this. So it's not that I had some brilliant insight, I just had a little more experience, and that -- if I didn't have that summer experience at the time when I was ready to absorb all this and being there when these things were happening -- I probably wouldn't have shaped up in the same way. I might've taken the same final stand, but not with the same amount of openness that I, I was able to do as a result of facing this. And raising all those questions, and having it answered by those people --
TI: That, that's good.

Cuisinart: always willing to modify a successful concept in hopes of winning a new audience. This Brew Central coffeemaker takes the design cue from the popular Grind and Brew line but without the coffee grinding feature.
What has been retained is the solid stainless steel build, with a new dark finish they are calling Black Chrome. Is it the new black? Or the new stainless steel? Time will tell. Anyway, this is an attractive machine, and the extra tall 12 cup glass carafe sits securely in the base. This uses the #4 filter and includes a Gold Tone permanent filter in the box. Also included is a charcoal water filter and measuring scoop.
With a digital display, you can program the brewing up to 24 hours in advance, and additionally, you can adjust the warming base to the temperature you like, as well as how long it keeps the coffee warm before shutting off. All these features are controlled by the rather novel rotary dials, and a toggle switch on the front. That's right- a toggle switch. While other makers are updating their machines with fancy touchpad controls, here's Cuisinart shopping at Radio Shack for design inspiration. You must give them points for "keeping it real".
Some additional touches that show they care include a water level gauge to show how many cups are in the reservoir, and an audible signal that sounds off when the unit has finished the brew cycle. With the overall positive user feedback, Cuisinart has what looks to be another winner in the coffeemaker arena.
Here's another 12-cup Cuisinart coffeemaker to consider: the Brew & Serve.

Davis was a quarterback who could both run and pass effectively in college, throwing for 3095 yards and gaining 930 on the ground, but he suffered a major knee injury in his last game. He was chosen by the Houston Oilers in the second round of the 1967 NFL/AFL draft and he was a backup in Houston for three seasons, completing 67 of 147 passes (45.6 %) for 735 yards and two TDs with 12 interceptions. Davis spent the 1970 to '73 seasons with the New York Jets and started seven games in 1971 due to injuries to Joe Namath and Al Woodall. It proved to be his most productive NFL season as he threw for 624 yards and 10 touchdowns, but he averaged just 5.2 yards per attempt and completed only 40.5 percent of his passes. Davis spent a year as a backup with New Orleans in 1973 and saw scant action. He was traded to Buffalo but signed with the Washington Ambassadors of the new WFL for '74. By the time the regular season started, the club was in Orlando and called the Florida Blazers.

Q: How can I automatically save a photo when a Facebook Page posts a photo? My brother is in a band and his band's page posts photos of the gigs. I want to save all these photos automatically since I love my brother and want to catalog all his gigs. Any way I can automatically detect when his band's Facebook Page posts a photo, and then download the full-size render of it to somewhere safe like my Dropbox or Google Drive?
I looked through IFTTT, but it's clear you need to be the page owner to do anything remotely close to that so I think I'm looking for an IFTTT-like service that provides this option for non-Page-owners, or a homebrew solution using Facebook's API.
I'm running Mac OS X and don't mind having some kind of scripted solution that runs in the background on my machine and gets the job done. Doesn't have to be an external service, though that'd be ideal so we don't have to reinvent the wheel. Not looking for you to write the entire program if that's what it comes to, but a framework would be nice. Ideally, a third-party service would be best.
Anyone got the 411?

Chesapeake Energy Corp. turned in its best financial performance in more than three years during the first quarter as cost cutting continued and the shift to an oilier production mix progressed.
With $9.4 billion of principal debt on the books at the end of March, CEO Doug Lawler keeps pushing his capital discipline mandate as the company continues to explore divestitures across its vast portfolio to shave off another $3 billion this year. But one of the high level stories during the quarter was stronger oil production and the boost those volumes got from better commodity prices.
The company, long a natural gas-focused producer, has shifted to an oilier mix in recent years to help strengthen the balance sheet. While the Eagle Ford Shale has been the company's oil engine, churning out 61,000 b/d in the first quarter, management has been intently focused on the Powder River Basin's (PRB) Turner formation, a tight sands oil play in Wyoming.
Chesapeake is testing reduced spacing in the Turner, placing six wells to sales at intervals of 1,980-2,300 feet apart during the first quarter. Management said it is "encouraged" by the results so far, as one of the wells spaced at 1,980 feet has produced 2,000 boe/d after 18 days on production. The company produced 7,000 b/d of oil in the PRB in the first quarter.
The company plans to turn-in-line 35 PRB wells by the end of the year. It tested its first Turner well more than a year ago. After roughly 400 days of production, Lawler said that well averaged more than 500 b/d of oil and 1.5 MMcf/d of natural gas last month. Cumulatively, the well has produced 345,000 bbl of oil and 622 MMcf of natural gas.
The company is currently running four rigs in the Turner, Patterson said. Management is still considering adding a fifth rig for the PRB that would work in one of the basin's other myriad formations, such as the Parkman, Sussex, Niobrara or Mowry.
Meanwhile, in the Utica Shale of Ohio, Chesapeake has been testing different completion methodologies, including increased spacing and longer laterals, that have significantly increased historical results. The tests, management said, could bode well for the company's future in the play.
Chesapeake produced 554,000 boe during the first quarter, up from 528,000 boe in 1Q2017 but down from the 593,200 boe it produced in 4Q2017. The company continued selling assets in the first quarter and closed on a $387 million sale in the Midcontinent. Another deal there to sell $60 million of assets closed last month too.
Overall, Chesapeake produced 92,000 b/d of oil during the first quarter, up from 84,000 b/d in 1Q2017. Natural gas production also increased to 2.5 Bcf/d from 2.3 Bcf/d.
The company's average daily sales price increased to $27.27/boe in the first three months of the year, up from $24.13/boe during the same time last year. Revenue was down slightly over the same period, falling to $2.5 billion from $2.8 billion.
Chesapeake reported net income of $268 million (29 cents/share) for the first quarter, compared to net income of $75 million (8 cents) in 1Q2017.

The following article is from The Great Soviet Encyclopedia (1979). It might be outdated.

The Mediterranean Bauxite Province is a major region of high-quality bauxite ores that stretches for 3,000 km along the northern shore of the Mediterranean Sea from Spain to Turkey, encompassing parts of southern France, Italy, Yugoslavia, and Greece. The province covers an area of about 2 million km2.

Extent and Age
The Mediterranean bauxite region, part of the Alpide geosynclinal belt of bauxite formation, includes geosynclinal depressions and the peripheral parts of platforms and median masses. The bauxites date from the Middle Triassic to the Neogene, although most of the deposits were formed during the Cretaceous.

Deposits
The largest bauxite deposits are located in Greece (Parnassus-Giona region), Yugoslavia (Niksic, Vlasenica, Obrovac, Drniá, Mostar), Hungary (Gánt, Halimba, Iszkaszentgyörgy, Nyirád, Harsan), and France (Brignoles and elsewhere). The first bauxite ore was discovered in 1821 around Les Baux in southern France, from which the ore received its name. The major deposits were found in the 19th century.

Types of deposits
Bauxites of the Mediterranean province generally overlie the karstic surfaces of limestones or dolomites. The deposits form pockets, lenses, chains of pockets or lenses, and sometimes extended sheets. The bauxite sheets tend to slope, either gently or steeply; only on the Hungarian Massif do the sheets lie almost horizontally. The sheets that are currently being mined range in thickness from 1 m to 8 m.

Chemical composition
The ores have a chemical composition of 45–55 percent Al2O3, 2–10 percent SiO2, 15–23 percent Fe2O3, and 2–3 percent TiO2. Losses during calcination range from 12 to 20 percent. Gibbsite-boehmite ores predominate, although diaspore and gibbsite are also encountered. The ores are derived from deposits of the geosynclinal or Mediterranean type. Most scientists regard the bauxites of the Mediterranean province as talus and proluvial deposits having formed from the products of the erosion of the lateritic and subsequently having undergone the process of bauxitization.

Output volume
The annual output of bauxite in the Mediterranean province increased from 6 million to 10 million tons a year between 1961 and 1972. The most economically important deposits are in southern France and Yugoslavia.

Delta introduces one-of-a-kind Alessi-designed serviceware at 30,000 feet
Catherine Simmons
In another move to further elevate the in-flight customer experience, Delta has partnered with globally renowned design company Alessi to curate a modern, stylish and functional collection of service products and tableware, which will appear in flight beginning April 1.
Delta's serviceware enhancements are part of the airline's multi-billion dollar investment in the customer experience that includes a cabin modernization program featuring new seats, seatback entertainment systems with free entertainment, high-capacity overhead bins, access to Wi-Fi on nearly all flights, complimentary meals in the Main Cabin on select flights, upgraded free Main Cabin snacks, chef-curated meals in Delta One, a seasonal wine program and more.
Delta has also made significant investments in the customer experience on the ground, in addition to plans to add nearly 250 new aircraft to its fleet in coming years. These include new Delta Sky Club locations in Denver, Atlanta, and Seattle, and Club renovations in Nashville, Dallas, Newark, and Minneapolis-St. Paul, airport enhancement programs in Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York and Salt Lake City, and the testing and implementation of an enhanced boarding process in Atlanta.
Delta will bring Alessi's one-of-a-kind pieces to its premium cabins, including Delta One, First Class and, in late 2017, Delta Premium Select. This marks the first time the design company, known for innovative and unique designs, has appeared in flight with a major airline with such a comprehensive program.
The Alessi for Delta collection is part of our continued investment in delivering a world class, global culinary experience that will elevate our customer inflight dining experience to new heights," said Allison Ausband, Delta's Senior Vice President – In-Flight Service. "At Delta we know that every aspect and detail of the travel experience matters, and partnering with Alessi allows us to bring an uncompromising level of elegance and service to the on-board experience."
The Alessi for Delta products include flatware, crystal glassware, new bone china, stainless steel serving pieces, tabletop accessories such as napkin rings and salt and pepper shakers and trays. The collection is based on popular items created and inspired by six of the 300 renowned designers for Alessi.
"With nearly a hundred years of experience crafting innovative objects for serving food and drinks, Alessi was a natural choice for Delta," said Alberto Alessi, President of Alessi. "At Alessi we have worked with some of the most exciting designers in our international network to create the most innovative and advanced in-flight collection in the contemporary design scene."
In November 2015, Delta announced its partnership with Alessi to develop an extensive line of serviceware for Delta's premium cabins. Since then, the new service items have been ideated, designed and tested in flight, while Delta actively solicited feedback from both customers and flight attendants to ensure that every design aspect of the pieces had a purpose. Delta also worked with its culinary partners to ensure the new serviceware and the overall meal experience are designed in parallel.
About the Delta, Alessi Partnership
The Alessi for Delta Collection of 86 unique serviceware pieces marks the first major airline collaboration for the design firm. It is based on popular items created and inspired by six of the 300 renowned designers for Alessi, including Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Patricia Urquiola, Campana Brothers, Stefano Giovannoni, Miriam Mirri and Kristiina Lassus. Delta and Alessi have collaborated closely since 2015 to develop one-of-a-kind pieces for Delta One that bring the customer experience to new heights. Alessi's Chief Commercial Officer Europe and North America Matteo Alessi said of the Delta partnership: "I admire Delta's decision to continue to redesign and elevate the on-board experience and I'm proud that Alessi is part of this enhancement."

All soccer, freshman football, and junior varsity baseball players are without a field. The multi-purpose field, located across from the seminary building, is unplayable. Dead grass filled with patches and unstable soft spots, prevents athletes from playing to their full capability, and puts them more at risk for injury.
Before PHS was built, a dairy farm stood in its place. In order to replace a farm with a school, thousands of dollars in fertilizer, dirt, sand, and grass had to be purchased and played down.
"Here is the problem with that field: this used to be a dairy, and the last couple years, I don't care what we do, the grass out there dies because there is something with the soil, the chemicals in it; we have tried everything," principal Dan Serrano explains.
Due to a soft foundation, the field's surface is falling apart. Coaches and students are concerned for the field's condition. Girls' soccer coach, John Roberts has grown a major concern for the field.
"It is trash," coach Roberts laughed at the name alone.
A new turf field seems to be the one believed solution.
With the field in poor condition, players are at risk for injury and can not play to the best of their ability. In fact, injuries have already occurred due to the field.
"It negatively impacts injuries, we've had several injuries. Also, it is not a true surface so what you practice on isn't what you play on, so we cannot do our set pieces correctly," coach Roberts states.
The field's condition is setting the athletes back. Although the process and cost of a repair like this may be costly, it has the safety of the students involved. In the previous renovations made on the field, a great amount of money was spent on re-laying the ground.
"All that money is gone," Robert states.
Spending money on a temporary fix is not going to fix it forever. Sand and grass is not a surface in which athletes can safely play on due to the soft foundation.
"If they could put a turf out there that would be awesome… we could use that all the time," coach Roberts claims.
The multi-purpose field is falling apart. New turf would benefit all the athletes in their playing time, playing habits, and prevention of injuries. Authority figures are aware of this problem and acknowledge that something is happening regarding the issue very soon.

How did gunman go from typical suburban life to attack?
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Counterterrorism investigators are trying to figure out why a 24-year-old Kuwait-born man who seemingly had a typical suburban American upbringing attacked two U.S. military sites in a shooting rampage that left four Marines dead.
Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez of Hixson, Tennessee, did not appear to have been on the radar of federal authorities before the bloodshed Thursday, officials said, and they were still searching for a motive. Abdulazeez was killed by police.
Federal authorities were looking into the possibility it was an act of terrorism but said there was no evidence yet that anyone else was involved.
For months, U.S. counterterrorism authorities have been warning of the danger of attacks by individuals inspired but not necessarily directed by the Islamic State group. Officials have said they have disrupted several such lone-wolf plots.
A federal law enforcement official said authorities were continuing a search of his computer but had not found an extensive online presence and had not uncovered any evidence he was directly influenced by the Islamic State. The official was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Residents in the quiet neighborhood where Abdulazeez was believed to have lived in a two-story home said they didn't know him or his family well.
Abdulazeez got an engineering degree from the University of Tennessee atChattanooga in 2012 and worked as intern a few years ago at the Tennessee Valley Authority, the federally owned utility that operates power plants and dams across the South.
In April, he was arrested on a drunken driving charge. The status of that case wasn't immediately clear.
Hussnain Javid said they graduated a few years apart from Red Bank High School in Chattanooga, where Abdulazeez was on the wrestling team and a popular student.
"He was very outgoing," said Javid, a 21-year-old senior at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. "Everyone knew of him."
Javid said he occasionally saw Abdulazeez at the Islamic Society of GreaterChattanooga, but the last time was roughly a year ago.
The gunman on Thursday sprayed dozens of bullets at a military recruiting center at a strip mall in Chattanooga, then drove to a Navy-Marine training center a few miles away and shot up the installation. The bullets smashed through windows and sent service members scrambling for cover.
In addition to the Marines killed, three people were wounded, including a sailor who was seriously hurt. Two of the dead was identified as Sgt. Thomas Sullivan, 40, and Skip Wells, who was in his early 20s. The other victims' names were not immediately released.
"Lives have been lost from some faithful people who have been serving our country, and I think I join all Tennesseans in being both sickened and saddened by this," Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam said.
FBI agent Ed Reinhold said Abdulazeez had "numerous weapons" but would not give details. He said investigators have "no idea" what motivated the shooter, but "we are looking at every possible avenue, whether it was terrorism, whether it's domestic, international, or whether it was a simple criminal act."
Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army's top officer, said that security at military recruiting and reserve centers will be reviewed, but that it's too early to say whether they should have security guards or other increased protection.
Odierno said there are legal issues involved in allowing recruiters to carry guns. And he said the centers need to be open and accessible to the public.
Brandon Elder, who works at a staffing company in the strip mall where the recruiting office is situated, said he heard what he thought was a jackhammer, and then someone shouted, "He's shooting!"
Elder said he looked out his window onto the parking lot and saw a man in a silver convertible Mustang, a gun propped out the window, spraying bullets into the storefronts.
"He was in front of the recruiting office, just riding up, reversing and driving back," he said. The barrage lasted maybe three or four minutes, and then the driver took off, he said: "It was crazy, surreal, like a movie. Is this really happening?"
On Friday, Gwen Gott added purple ribbons and a flag to a makeshift memorial taking shape outside the strip mall. It included balloons, piles of flowers and a sign staked into the ground: "You were the son of satan. Now you will answer to the son of God."
"I love the service. Without them, where would we be as a country?" Gott said.

Within our fusion related program we are performing experiments with vibrationally excited H2 and D2 molecules. For this purpose specific vibrational spectrometer has been built. Its operation is based on the properties of dissociative electron attachment of low energy electrons (0-5 eV) in hydrogen. Magnetic field is used in this spectrometer for guiding electron beam and for extracting and separating H- and D- from heavier ions and electrons. Original ion extraction system based on penetrating electric field was constructed for focusing and detection of low energy ions. An electrostatic version of such vibrational spectrometer that was earlier developed at Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris is also available in the laboratory through a contract with CNRS, France.
New data are acquired on DEA in H2 and D2.
Source of vibrationally hot H2 and D2 has been constructed for spectroscopic studies in hydrogen plasma.
