'Patience was essential': Mubarak Soulemane's family reacts to arrest of Connecticut state trooper
Connecticut Public Radio | By Ali Oshinskie
Ryan Caron King
Mariyann Soulemane, the sister of Mubarak Soulemane, the 19-year-old who was shot and killed by State Police Trooper Brian North in 2020, listens during a news conference after North was arrested and charged with manslaughter. "It's time to set an example, that this cannot go on any longer," she said. "And I hope to see these systemic changes take effect through the legacy of my brother."
In the two years since her brother was killed by a Connecticut state trooper, Mariyann Soulemane says she almost lost hope that the officer would be held accountable.
"The path has shown its course and why patience was essential," Soulemane said.
She and other family members of Mubarak Soulemane gathered Thursday to mark the arrest of Brian North, who shot and killed the 19-year-old in 2020. North was arrested after turning himself in earlier this week and has been charged with manslaughter. He was released after posting $50,000 bail, and his police powers have been suspended.
As the Soulemane family waited for an arrest, there was a global movement for Black lives in response to the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Connecticut then passed the Police Accountability Law, which created an independent office of the inspector general to review deaths like Mubarak's.
"We thank God for George Floyd's legacy and hope that this is not just for my brother, this is for all of us: Every family that was wronged in the state of Connecticut, everybody that was murdered by [a] police officer and got off scot-free, this is for them," Mariyann Soulemane said.
The Rev. Kevin McCall stands with a poster displaying a still picture of the dashboard camera footage of Trooper Brian North in the encounter where he shot and killed 19-year-old Mubarak Soulemane. Next to him, Soulemane's stepfather, Abdoulah Banned, holds a photo of Soulemane. North was arrested and charged with manslaughter this week after an investigation that lasted over two years found that the shooting wasn't justified.
The family got the news of North's manslaughter charge directly from state Inspector General Robert Devlin, according to Mark Arons, a family lawyer. Family members were "joyous and elated" after waiting for more than two years, he said.
Mubarak's mother, Omo Klusum Mohammed, expressed gratitude Thursday for Devlin's efforts.
"I want to thank the inspector general for taking his time to investigate this case," Mohammed said.
North fatally shot Mubarak Soulemane in January 2020 after a high-speed chase. Soulemane sat in the driver's seat of a stolen car in West Haven, where the chase ended and police boxed in the car. After a failed attempt to use a taser on Soulemane, police said they saw him reaching for a knife. That's when North fired his gun multiple times. He said he feared Soulemane was going to attack his fellow officers.
Omo Klusum Mohammed, the mother of Mubarak Soulemane, the 19-year-old who was shot and killed by State Police Trooper Brian North in 2020, speaks to reporters after North was arrested and charged with manslaughter. "I'm hoping and being grateful that Brian North will be held accountable for killing my son and go to jail," she said.
But the report from the inspector general's office states that neither North nor any other person was in imminent danger of serious injury or death from a knife attack. The report found that North was not justified in using deadly force – and the investigation questioned the necessity of the high-speed chase.
Soulemane had reportedly been treated for schizophrenia in the past, and the report says he was acting erratically on the day of his death.
North is scheduled to be arraigned May 3. North's attorney didn't issue a comment on Thursday. The state police union said it was disappointed that the inspector general's office decided to prosecute North and that it will vigorously defend the trooper.

Climate change is something people have to care about, as it's been put aside for too long. Scientists have found out that it's happening not only because of human activity, but it happens faster and the results of it may be more dramatic because of that activity. To bring awareness to the issue, you may be given an assignment to write a global climate change essay, using any aspect you wish as the topic.
There are many topics to write about, but you need to choose something that is up-to-date and has lots of materials to use online or at brick-and-mortar libraries. If you choose a proper theme, you will have no troubles with looking for samples, writing tips, and materials for the paper. You can find lots of useful stuff on the subject if you look here.

Climate change and global warming are a combination of manmade and non-manmade processes. We can do something to stop it, but there are things like politics and race for money that may slow the development down. Choose the right topic to let people know your opinion on the issue and its consequences for all the humans and other species inhabiting the planet.

You may hear more now about ADHD than ever, but just how common is it? That's hard to say exactly, because researchers have used different techniques to answer that question.
Many reports estimate that anywhere from 5% to 8% of school-age kids have the disorder. But the CDC now puts it at 11%.
Some studies have relied on parents saying that a health care provider told them their child has the disorder. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the child meets all the criteria for the condition, says Craig Surman, MD, co-author of Fast Minds: How to Thrive if You Have ADHD (Or Think You Might).
Some doctors might give children an ADHD label even when they may have another educational, behavioral, or mental issue. The flip side is that some kids who truly have the disorder aren't getting diagnosed with it.
"ADHD often overlaps with a lot of other problems, and many clinicians don't know how to categorize what they're seeing," Surman says.
What experts do know for sure: ADHD is one of the most common behavioral disorders that happens in childhood, according to both the CDC and the National Institutes of Health.
Some say the disorder is a modern problem, one that "didn't exist" when your parents and grandparents were growing up. People point to the fact that the number of American children 4-17 who've been diagnosed with ADHD increased 42% between 2003 and 2011. But does that mean more people have the condition than ever before? Again, the facts are a bit murky.
"Parents want to know, 'Is there something in the water? Is it something I'm feeding my child or that I did when I was pregnant?'" says Mandi Silverman, PsyD, a clinical psychologist at the ADHD and Disruptive Behavior Disorders Center at the Child Mind Institute. "Our answer is that there's more awareness, more research, and we have more sophisticated assessment tools." In other words, the better doctors understand the disorder, the better they're able to detect it.
So, just as many people might have had the condition decades ago as they do today -- even if they were never diagnosed and treated -- but no one can say for sure.
Another ADHD-related mystery is that rates seem to vary a lot based on geography. More than 13% of children in certain states -- including Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Rhode Island, and South Carolina -- have been diagnosed with the disorder. Yet other states -- including California, Colorado, and Nevada -- report diagnosis rates of 7% or lower.
Why the discrepancy? Experts say it's possible that there aren't enough well-trained mental health professionals in certain areas, so children aren't being properly diagnosed in some regions. Or, parents in some areas may be reluctant to have their children checked for the condition.
There are also big differences in the number of people who are diagnosed with ADHD around the world. For example, some surveys have found that 11% of children in Australia have been diagnosed, compared to less than 3% in the United Kingdom.
Again, these numbers may be misleading: Health care providers around the world may use different criteria to spot the disorder. And cultural factors, including stigma and what is considered "normal" behavior, and economic issues like the cost of evaluation and treatment, likely play roles, too.
A recent review of studies concluded that the true rate of ADHD among children is pretty similar throughout Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, and the Americas.
Many people mistakenly think ADHD is a male problem. Right now, boys are twice as likely as girls to be diagnosed with it, Silverman says. But those numbers might start to shift as researchers learn more about how the condition shows up in females.
There are three types of ADHD: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive. Girls with the disorder are more likely to have inattentive symptoms as opposed to hyperactive ones, Silverman says. So it can be harder for them to get properly diagnosed. The combined type is most common in boys.
About 4% of adults also have the disorder.
To officially meet the criteria for ADHD as an adult, your symptoms must have started by age 12, even if you were never properly diagnosed in childhood.
Those symptoms can change over time, too, so ADHD in adults rarely looks the way it does in kids. While some young children with the disorder, especially boys, might have problems sitting still and end up running all over a classroom, adults are much more likely to have trouble focusing and staying organized.
"It's very unusual to have hyperactive-impulsive symptoms as the main problem [in adulthood], but inattentive problems tend to persist," Surman says.
About 60% of people who had the condition in childhood still have symptoms as adults. Do the other 40% "grow out" of it? Not exactly, he says.
"ADHD is a neurobiological disorder, and we know that brains develop," he says. "So either their brains changed or life has compensated for it." For example, someone with ADHD who is thriving as a traveling salesman might suddenly have problems again if he were to take on a desk job.
The gender gap in ADHD also narrows a little with age: 1.6 men are diagnosed for every 1 woman who gets the diagnosis, Silverman says.

SINGAPORE captain Shahril Ishak and national defender Baihakki Khaizan seem set to make a return to the S-League.
The Straits Times understands that the duo, who play for Indonesia Super League (ISL) side Persib Bandung, have been deemed surplus to requirements and could be released by their club soon.
Shahril, 27, the S-League's Player of the Year last season, left Home United in October – two months before the S-League season ended.
Ex-Geylang United defender Baihakki was one of seven national players, including striker Noh Alam Shah, to lead the highly-publicised exodus to Indonesia in 2009. That was when the ISL introduced a rule under which two of each club's five foreign imports had to come from Asia.
The offer of higher pay, better perks and the chance to play in front of 20,000-strong crowds drew several high-profile Lions to the ISL.
Baihakki joined Persija Jakarta, before moving to Persib last year.
Both he and Shahril could not be reached for comment yesterday.
According to the Indonesian football blog Jakarta Casual, Persib's new coach Daniel Roekito does not rate the 27-year-old Baihakki highly.
The Indonesian, who took over the reins last November, recently confirmed the signing of Malaysian striker Safee Sali (the top scorer at last December's AFF Suzuki Cup with five goals) for the second half of the 2010-11 ISL season, which starts on March 7. Persib lie second from bottom in the 15-team ISL after 12 games.
But now that Malaysia's players are the flavour of the month after winning the South-east Asia Games gold medal and the Asean Cup, I wonder how many more Singapore players are in danger of losing their well-paying and glamorous careers in the ISL — especially after Singapore's dismal showing and their own crappy performances in the Asean Cup.
I'm also wondering how many S-League clubs will be vying to take them back.
I am sure there will be a few clubs competing for Shahril's services. After all, he is young, an emerging talent and the national skipper. No one will also forget the critical role he played in Home's push for the S-League title before he left for the ISL, one which ultimately saw him being named the S-League's Player of the Year.
The fact that Home's title challenge immediately went to pieces the moment he left also spoke volumes of his abilities and importance.
But I'm not so sure about Baihakki's desirability after all the allegations of ill discipline and arrogance about him (and Ridhuan Muhammad) that has come out in the media in recent times.


The strategy paid off - I set off slow, let people overtake me, kept going slowly and, well, just kept going!
It was beautiful weather - about 8degC and sunny. It felt a bit hotter than I expected, especially in the last few miles, but there was a slight breeze which kept me from needing to remove a layer.
It took me ages though - I was expecting to finish in 2:40 (which is pretty slow) but it actually took 2:50 (unofficial garmin time - haven't heard about an official time yet). I think that most people around me had walked at least part of the course, which is a bit depressing, but I'm still glad that I kept jogging the whole time. And I still had a bit of energy in reserve for a mini sprint finish!
And now? I'm a bit achy and tired - I'm sure I'll ache more tomorrow. I managed to stay pretty well hydrated during the run, and then caught up a bit on drinks and calories afterwards.
Well done to my friends who were also running today - with times ranging from1:48 to 2:10 they should all be mightily pleased with themselves!
Last 400m here I come!
Thank you for your support and positivity in the last couple of weeks - it's really helped.
Wahooo! You look like you finished so easy and fresh. I am sooooo so happy for you. Nice to have that behind you and so successfully.
I am so hoping I have a similar experience and can do it in under 3 hours too.

How to Become a Mercenary
The majority of governments across the world now use mercenary services to accomplish missions or roles that in the past were primarily filled by the respective army or security forces of the country. The more politically correct term for the modern mercenary has evolved to be a private military contractor or private security contractor (PMC or PSC). Companies who specialize in providing security and/or military services will typically employ prior soldiers and policemen who desire to continue their individual careers in a paramilitary environment for better pay and benefits than realized while performing public service. As a result, a common question that arises amongst those with combat arms experience is how to become a mercenary.
What is a Mercenary?
A mercenary is the legacy term used to refer to overseas security consultants or contractors who perform military-like work for pay in the private sector. These individuals are typically trained soldiers (or trained in support of security personnel) that work for a private company or non-governmental agency. A mercenary will perform roles that range from training, advising, technical, maintenance, or direct security support for pay that is higher than typically realized by those serving in the armed forces of their home country due to the increased risk and austere locations of assignment.
Geneva Convention Definition of a Mercenary
The Geneva Convention explicitly defines what a mercenary is in Article 47. One of the primary differences that can be a surprise to former soldiers who are new to contract work as a merc is that they no longer have any POW rights if captured taking part in security activities which meat the definition of acting as a mercenary overseas.
Geneva Convention Article 47. Mercenaries
1. A mercenary shall not have the right to be a combatant or a prisoner of war.
2. A mercenary is any person who:
(a) is especially recruited locally or abroad in order to fight in an armed conflict;
(b) does, in fact, take a direct part in the hostilities;
(c) is motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain and, in fact, is promised, by or on behalf of a Party to the conflict, material compensation substantially in excess of that promised or paid to combatants of similar ranks and functions in the armed forces of that Party;
(d) is neither a national of a Party to the conflict nor a resident of territory controlled by a Party to the conflict;
(e) is not a member of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict; and
(f) has not been sent by a State which is not a Party to the conflict on official duty as a member of its armed forces.
Why Do People Want to Be a Mercenary?
Mercenaries are typically thought of as soldiers for hire. Most choose to pursue employment as a mercenary due to the higher pay than seen in the military and police forces in addition to a greater opportunity to travel across the world. Although the pay can be significantly higher than seen during an enlistment in the army or navy, mercenary work does not prove suitable for everyone. Many of the higher paying contract support work available will require the individual to be away from home for up to six months at a time before being able to take time off to visit family and friends. As a result, a number of ex-soldiers will turn to mercenary work for the short-term in order to pay off bills or save money for working a more "normal" day job after the mercenary contract is complete.
A Short History of Mercenary Work
Mercenary work is typically regarded as the second oldest profession in the world following prostitution. At one time or another, the majority of
armed forces in the modern world have found it necessary to use foreign mercenaries or volunteers to join or support the national army. Sometimes these individuals would be used to create a unit of similar nationality or ethnic background, while other times the foreign soldiers would be directly integrated into units of the nation's armed forces. The practice of hiring and using mercenaries has a long history including Hannibal, Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, and the Roman Empire where the conquering armies would typically retain the services of soldiers from foreign lands during both offensive and occupation duties.
Mercenary Employment during the American Revolution
During the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), Great Britain faced a challenge of obtaining enough soldiers to combat the more than 50,000 Colonialists opposing them in North America. Due to ongoing garrison duty in Ireland, the British had approximately 15,000 Red Coats available for the war. As a result, King George found it a necessity to hire a mercenary army to augment his forces in the Colonies. Initially, he attempted to contract 20,000 men from Russia; however, Catherine the Great did not provide the promised forces. After failing to hire the Dutch 'Scots Brigade,' the King would ultimately retain the services of Hessian soldiers from Germany. The Hessians would arrive in North America in 1776 but would be defeated during the battles of Saratoga Springs and Trenton.
Americans Serving as Mercenaries in World War 2
Prior to the United States entering World War 2, a number of U.S. aviators would go to China and take part in the war as part of the Flying Tigers. The Tigers were a sanctioned volunteer group, referred to as the 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG) of the Chinese Air Force from 1941-1942 and were sanctioned by the U.S. president. All of the personnel were recruited from the US Navy, Marine Corps, and Army and included some civilians. The took part in combat operations against Japanese forces and received approximately three times more pay than while on active duty and were commonly referred to as mercenaries. The Flying Tigers would see service through July 1942 when they were replaced by the U.S. Army 23rd Fighter Group.
Modern Day Private Military Companies (PMCs)
Today, the mercenary trade has evolved to primarily being headed by private military companies (PMCs). These companies specialize in providing soldiers, military training, logistics, and other services to governments, civil organizations, and international communities. They are legally established companies or enterprises that make money through providing services that rely on legal use of armed force, intelligence gathering, logistics support, or equipment procurement. The legal argument that the modern PMCs use to allow their contractors to operate in foreign countries is that since the employees are not "proactively" employed as front-line combatants, they are not mercenaries and thus legally permitted to work in austere locations. If a PMC's employees are used in pro-active combat, they are quickly labeled as "mercs" or mercenaries, and can be open to additional lawsuits and sanctions depending on the nature of the work accomplished by their employees.
Although PMCs fill a critical security void throughout the world in a time of austere national budgets, the United Nations continues to officially disapprove of their use (ignoring the fact the UN has previously hired the company, Executive Outcomes for logistics work in Africa). The primary reason for this disapproval is the question of accountability for both the PMC and their employees/soldiers for actions in the war zone. The primary argument for using PMCs is that they help stabilize areas across the world where the UN or other coalitions are unable or not yet willing to intervene to save civilian lives. In 2007, the UN actually stated that they found the use of PMCs on the part of the U.S. and U.K. was in violation of the 1989 United Nations Mercenary Convention which banned the use of mercenaries world-wide. (Both countries have not signed the accord).
How to Prepare for Mercenary Employment
Step 1 – Obtain military or law enforcement related experience.
The majority of classic mercenary-like jobs on the market today typically require past military or law enforcement experience. Even better, is previous experience working in the special forces of the army, USMC, navy, or air force if seeking the higher paying security-related jobs available on the market. If you just can't see yourself becoming a Navy Seal; however, there are still plenty of military specialties that can provide a significant experience base to leverage for a lucrative merc career. Most private security companies will be looking for a minimum of three to five years of relevant experience on one's resume. For example, if you want to be a security consultant, then service as a MP in the U.S. Army would provide the proper experience where signing up to be chemical warfare specialist may not be applicable to many of the available jobs in the mercenary market.
Step 2 – Obtain proficiency in a foreign language.
If you only speak English, taking the time to develop a skill set in another commonly spoken language such as French, German, Arabic, Russian, or Spanish will help make you more attractive to future employers in merc or contract security related work. Better yet, if you know what area of the world that you want to obtain employment, start learning at least basic language skills for that region. A popular learning resource for mercenaries looking to pick up basic to intermediate language skills is the Rosetta Stone. Another popular option is Praxis Language which focuses on Italian, French, Spanish and Chinese. Of course, if you have the time and financial backing, attending language classes in person may also prove to be a worthwhile investment.
Step 3 – Get into great physical shape.
Mercenaries work in austere environments across the planet. Even if you are going to apply to be a support technician, many of the private security firms will require a physical fitness test be passed before making a new employee permanent. Depending on how long you have to get ready, taking a "Boot Camp" approach to getting into shape may be required depending on how long it has been since you were last active duty or working for the police forces.
Step 4 – Build your resume.
Focus on job skills, qualifications, and experience that directly relate to the mercenary job(s) that you are interested in filling. For those new to the job market, seeking professional human resources assistance with the resume can provide significant benefits. Long gone are the days where mercs can simply show up at the right bar or tavern and sign-on for overseas gigs. Today's private security corporations are big business with similar hiring prerequisites and expectations found in corporate America. Before claiming you were a member of Seal Team 6 who took down Osama Bin Laden on your resume, be advised that the majority of reputable PSC's will require you provide proof of documented combat experience.
Step 5 – Gather required documentation.
Just because one has the required skill set(s) for a mercenary job doesn't mean that he or she will meet the minimum requirements for employment. Most American private security firms will require individuals to hold a valid U.S. driver's license, tourist passport (typically good for at least a year or more from the time of application), the DD-214 provided on separation from the military service, and additional documentation for all security-related training and deployment service while serving in the armed forces. If you intend on submitting your initial application online, you will also want to take the time to scan the documentation to PDF or equivalent format to upload to the prospective employer's website.
Where to Find Mercenary Jobs
The majority of the major mercenary related private security companies now have online applications. This doesn't mean that you can obtain employment without an interview; however, it does help lessen the burden on both the company and the hopeful employee by providing a means to verify minimum requirements. Some of the major American security providers at the time of this writing include Academi (formerly Xe, formerly Blackwater), Global Dynamics, and Triple Canopy. Similar to seeking employment in other fields, one should conduct prudent research into industry standards for pay, benefits, and industry trends before starting to submit applications to private security companies for employment in mercenary-like fields.

While emotion is recognized to play a large role in consumer decision making, little work has systematically explored the factors which give advertisements their emotional quality. We set out to explore this by isolating a single factor: the number of individuals featured in the advertisement.
We hypothesized that, in line with previous observations from the moral judgement literature (e.g. Slovic 2007), depictions of a single individual would inspire more emotional connection than depictions of groups. To evaluate this, we created 10 original paragraph-long vignettes which promoted specific products. For example, one depicted a someone running through an airport and barely making their flight, as an advertisement for running shoes. In one condition, the vignettes involved a group of people, while in the other, it featured only a single individual. The vignettes were identical in all other respects, instantiating "group size" as the sole independent variable. After reading each vignette, participants judged how emotional these advertisements were, and how much they wanted the featured product.
The results confirmed our hypothesis: individually-based vignettes were consistently reported as more emotional, and furthermore, were also associated with a higher demand for the featured product. Overall, these findings elucidate an important factor which make advertisements both more emotional, and more compelling. Future work addressing how this general effect interacts with a wide range of factors will be needed in order to develop a more comprehensive understanding of how advertisements derive emotions in their viewers, and how this in turn, translates to consumer demand.

Data priming, or priming, is the addition of a retailers historical sales statistics into Apptus eSales. The use of historical sales statistics enables eSales to more quickly improve personalised results and content for visitors.
Priming is not a mandatory integration activity, but if priming is to be done for a site, it must be performed at the end of an Integration before go-live. Priming is only to be performed once.
A Primer tool used to verifying priming data is available for Apptus eSales customers.
Priming data is generated by a retailer's e-commerce systems such as a PIM or ERP. The priming data output must be in XML with UTF-8 encoding.
Before data is validated with the Primer tool, the XML must be transformed to comply with the file syntax for data priming.
A data file contains a root element, orders, with one or more order elements. An order includes one or more products that have been purchased and its related purchase data.
The following example presents the syntax of an XML-file with all available elements for data priming.
The following elements are allowed in a priming data XML-file.
orders Root element The root element of the priming data file. It can only hold order elements as child elements.
order Container element The element containing all information about a purchase. Parent element is orders.
time time_point The time of the order. The time should be written in ISO 8601 format, including offset.
lines Container element The element containing the line elements. Parent element is order.
line Container element The element containing all elements related to the purchase of a specific product in an order.
product_key string The unique key of the purchased product. The product_key must be the same key as for the product imported into Apptus eSales.
The following example will add two orders with a total of three products as priming data.
Download the Primer tool and validate the priming data file with the following command.
When the priming data file is complete and validated, contact Apptus Support to finalise the data priming process.


Actually, this post should have come in Part I. It's about knowing the genre so you can target your agents.
I'll start off by saying I have trouble with this sometimes. I write a story about characters and things happening to them and I'm told as a writer that I have to make the story unique - but maybe the Hollywood rule of "Write something different but the same" applies to novels. To be honest, I'm not sure I want to live in that world. Anyway, I've written a book and now I have to find a box to put it in. And I'm also not supposed to have too many boxes. This apparently confuses readers though I think readers are smart enough to read more than one genre.
It's boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy loses girl, boy gets girl.
In Little Red Gem, at the end the main character had her revelation but she didn't run straight into the arms of the boy. She took that moment and decided that she was more important and she needed to figure things out first. Ergo it was not romance. I failed at the pitch because I got the genre totally wrong. To be honest it started out as a paranormal romance, and the first draft it was boy gets girls, but then in the final edits I got o the end and said "would I do that?" and the answer is that I would not. So I had to be true to ME and I let the main character give the flick to the guy. I did this is real life as a teen so it's a plausible ending. The problem is I still had it in my mind that it was romance. It was more like young adult fantasy chick-lit. But try putting that in a pitch.
Science fiction is typically space opera, plausible futuristic plots, hard sci-fi, social science fiction, time travel, alternate universes, science fantasy, soft science fiction. Dystopian and apocalyptic fiction tend to find themselves under the sub genre of science fiction.
Fantasy uses magic or supernatural as a primary plot element, completely fictitious worlds.
So what do I do when I've written a book about a virtual game, supernatural characters, a futuristic world but not dystopian, and an apocalypse.
I have read on a few blogs that Dystopian and Apocalyptic Fiction are becoming their own sub-genre. But agents don't list the million genres they're looking for, just one or two, such as Science Fiction and Fantasy, and the list I provided in Part III showed the agents who are currently looking for Science Fiction and/or Fantasy.
In short, just like there is a billion trillion dollars in the world there is still only a large handful of actual currencies. i.e $1 coin, $2 coin, $5 note, $10 note etc. In order to hand over $17 we need to know what that is comprised of. Sorry if that's confusing, it's the analogy I'm using to try to perfect the genre in the pitch.
Here's another reason why knowing the genre is important.
Stephanie Palmer runs a blog Good In A Room. She teaches screen writers and this was a really interesting post I read a little while back.
Will the story live up to the genre expectations of the audience?
I won't go further into this because of copyright reasons you need to read the post.
So I have pitched my novel as Science Fantasy because nobody listed Apocalyptic fiction. Here's hoping I have met the genre expectations of my audience.

Q: Javascript - Getting and displaying xml custom fields I have just started to learn javascript in the last 3 or 4 days.  I am trying to display the contents of an xml file from another domain.
So far so good, I can get the "name" "description" "size" etc. but I can't get the script to display the custom fields.
I have search the internet but can't find any help on custom fields and very little on namespaces.
Points to note

*Field name can be anything and they change from product to product

I have posted example xml and the javascript I am using below.

Apple Pays Up to 500M$
After two years of litigation, Apple has agreed to pay 500$ US million to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging it slowed down older iPhones in order to push consumers into buying its later, more expensive models.
The devices covered in the agreement are iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus, and iPhone SE models that ran IOS 10.2.1 or later, and iPhone 7 and 7 Plus models that ran IOS 11.2 or later before Dec. 21, 2017.
Consumers complained that their IPhones' performance suffered after they installed the Apple software updates. This misled them into believing their phones were near the end of their life cycles, requiring replacements or new batteries.
Apple blamed the problems on temperature changes, high usage and other issues, and claimed its engineers worked quickly and successfully to address the problems.
In December 2017 it slashed the price of iPhone replacement batteries from $79 to $29. It had planned to make the new pricing applicable in January but apparently in response to customer outrage, it moved up the date to December. The program ended Dec. 31, 2018.
Settlement class members could receive $25 for each iPhone owned. The actual amount they receive will depend on the amount of any attorneys' fees and expenses, named plaintiff service awards, notice expenses, and the aggregate value of approved claims.
Apple has denied wrongdoing, and has agreed to settle to avoid the burdens and costs of litigation.
Apple has been fined in France and Italy for throttling iPhones.
Meanwhile, Huawei, Xiaomi and Samsung are challenging its dominance fiercely in overseas markets.
Apple remains on top, but it's competitors are now shooting at them from several vantage points, and its hold on its leadership is now threatened more than ever before.

Husnan, Lalu Erwan (2013) LINGUISTIC ADAPTATION OF BAJO IN SUMBAWA ISLAND: A PRELIMINARY STUDY FOR SOCIAL MOTIVATION OF LANGUAGE CHANGE. In: International Seminar Language Maintenance and Shift III. ISSN: 2088-6799, 2-3 Juli 2013, Hotel Pandanaran Semarang.
Bajo is a language of Bajo ethnic group. Besides, Mbojo, Samawa, and Indonesian also exist in their every day of live. Mbojo and Samawa are languages of cross cultural boundaries. Indonesian is national language. They often make contact with the speakers of Mbojo and Samawa. This circumstance results in linguistic adaptation. To collect data of their language contact, the speakers were interviewed and recorded. Diachronic study and simple statistic were used to analysis the data. The result, most of the adaptation is on phonological aspect, and younger speakers were apparently dominant.


Permits are at all times the property of the Board of Trustees and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Mutilation or alteration of a permit, the purchase or use of a permit under false pretense or the production or use of a counterfeit permit constitutes a violation of the Illinois Criminal Code and may result in prosecution or internal sanctions. A $100 fine and/or referral for disciplinary action to Student Affairs or Human Resources will result. The illegal transfer of permits results in the buyer and seller being fined $100 each. Permits will also be revoked from both parties, who may be referred for discipline as well. The University is not responsible for the care or protection of any motor vehicle or its contents at any time.
Scheduled enforcement of SIU Edwardsville campus (non-residential area) parking regulations occurs from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Parking Service Agents are dispatched to the School of Dental Medicine and the East St. Louis Higher Education Campus periodically during the week to enforce parking regulations. There is open parking in all non-residential permit-required lots after 8:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, after 4:30 p.m. on Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. University Police may write citations anytime, however, as they deem necessary. Ticketing will occur in all Cougar Village and Residence Hall parking lots 24 hours a day ~ 7 days a week. Please note that failure to move a vehicle to an appropriate location after a citation has been issued may result in additional citations being written the same day.
Students/employees who accumulate parking citations will be subject to discipline and towing. Employee cases will be reviewed as deemed appropriate by the Director of Human Resources or his or her designated representative. Student violators fall under the purview of the Dean of Students.
Citations issued for parking and registration violations specify the type of violation and the amount due. A late fee of $10.00 is applied to all citations not paid or appealed within fourteen (14) calendar days. Citations issued to non-registered vehicles belonging to members of a faculty, staff or student's immediate family are the responsibility of the student or employee. Payment of parking fines is accepted by mail or at Parking Services at the Edwardsville campus. Remember to include the citation with your payment if you are paying by mail. Please do not send cash through the mail. Payment may also be made at the Service Center at times when Parking Services is closed. Parking fines may also be paid via the Parking Services website at "Pay Your Citation". NOTE: If you are paying after the fourteen (14) calendar days AND if you have other debt to the University, (i.e., Housing, Tuition, etc.), your payment may not be directed to the citation you are attempting to pay. In that instance, the only way to "target" your payment to a specific citation is to pay in person at the Bursar's Office and request it.
Payment submitted for parking fines or permits may be made by check, cash, money order, Visa, Discover or MasterCard. Loose coin may not exceed $5. Pennies that total $1 or more must be in rolls of $.50 each. Each roll of coins must have printed on it the name and 800 number of the person submitting it for payment.
During break periods when classes are not in session, ticketing occurs in all but the Red and Yellow lots until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Break periods include the spring break week in March and all weeks that classes are not in session between fall, spring and summer semesters. There is open parking during these times in the red or yellow lots.


Set just by the 17th green of Estepona Golf Course with fantastic views over the golf course, countryside and sea in the distance, this plot is part of a total of FIVE plots, two of which are for sale, either together or separately, both 670m2, side by side.
All amenities (water, electricity, etc) are installed and all paperwork in order.
The foundations of a single storey two bedroom/two bathrooms villa have been laid, so a purchaser can decide whether to finish the building as planned, or to start afresh.
The area around Estepona Golf Course going East towards Valle Romano Golf is undergoing extensive development, and the whole zone will end up as a "Golf Valley" in its own right, with commercial centre, nearby hotels and some super-modern new build complexes.


Can Passengers File Personal Injury Claims After a Car Accident?
The law tells us that drivers of autos can file personal injury claims, following an automobile collision, against the party responsible for causing the accident. But, what about passengers of autos? If injured in a car accident, do passengers go without any type of recourse for their injuries? The quick answer is "no." Let's take a moment and analyze this issue in a bit more detail.
When passengers are riding in a motor vehicle, the driver of that vehicle has a legal duty to exercise reasonable care for the safety of the passengers while driving. Put another way, drivers are responsible for a passenger's well-being for as long as the passenger remains as such in the vehicle. If a motorist drives in a negligent manner, and an accident results, any passengers in the vehicle that suffered injuries can seek to hold the driver liable for those injuries.
We must note here that automobile passengers can also suffer injuries in car accidents that are caused by other motorists. We must further note that negligent drivers are liable for the injuries of all the occupants in a car that they negligently hit. For example, assume John is driving a car and has no passengers. Further, assume that Sally is driving a second car and her friend, Beth, is riding as a passenger. If John is negligent in causing an auto collision with Sally, and Beth is injured in the accident, she can try to hold John liable for her injuries.
Can a Passenger File a Claim Against Multiple Drivers?
If an auto collision took place between two cars, and both drivers were responsible for the accident, then a passenger can make a claim against both drivers. Let's return to John, Sally and Beth. Consider the factual scenario where John and Sally are approaching an intersection. John is speeding and fails to see Sally's car. Sally though is not wearing her prescription eye glasses and does not observe John until the two vehicles collide. Theoretically, both John and Sally are at fault for the accident. If Beth was injured in the accident, she can file a claim against both drivers to recover damages.
Please know, however, that comparative negligence percentages will apply if a passenger successfully makes a claim against multiple drivers. We discussed the concept of "comparative negligence" in a previous entry. In Washington, this concept basically states that an injured party, in an automobile accident, will be awarded a damage amount in proportion to the percentage of fault of the other driver. If Sally had no passenger and it was found that John was 80% at fault in our hypothetical collision, Sally would receive 80% of any compensation she sought in a personal injury claim.
For collisions involving passenger injuries, these same percentages and rules apply. Let's reintroduce Beth into our accident scenario. Assume she suffered $50,000 in damages and filed a claim against both John and Sally. It was determined that Sally was 20% at fault for the collision and John was 80% at fault. Under the concept of comparative negligence, Sally would owe Beth $10,000 (or 20% of $50,000) and John would owe Beth $40,000 (or 80% of $50,000).
What Happens if a Passenger is Related to a Driver?
We really do not like to cause rifts in familial relationships and no parent ever enjoys being sued by a child, or vice versa. Thus, we have to consider the situation where a driver is negligent in a car accident and was driving while a relative was riding in the car. In these circumstances, the relative/passenger is typically deemed an insured under the driver's automobile insurance policy; and resultantly, the passenger can pursue recovery options under that policy.
Depending on the facts involved, passengers may even be able to make multiple insurance claims.
Passenger injuries following an automobile accident can be severe. To make matters worse, passengers may experience several difficulties in trying to recover damages from these accidents. If you have suffered injuries as a passenger in an automobile collision, please do yourself a favor and let our firm's experienced attorneys help. We can easily answer any of your questions, and if necessary, they can begin building your case today.

Q: Prolog, Grammar, Beginner To implement s -> a ,with such a function rule(s,[a]) I came up with below code , but it doesn't work because of lower case s.
if we had a grammar based on this format, how can I write the rule?
format: grammar(Nonterminals, Terminals, Rules, Start)
    grammar([s], [a], [rule(s, [a]), rule(s, [s, s])], [s]).
    rule(A,B):- B is A.

A: There are a lot of confused ideas in this (B is A is almost never what you want), and you would surely benefit from reviewing the fundamentals of Prolog some. DCGs are how grammars are implemented in Prolog, but they have nothing to do with the formalism you're trying to work with. Your example grammar would look something like this:
s --> [a].
s --> s, s.

Note that the terminal/nonterminal distinction is implicit. "Terminals" in a DCG context are whatever shows up in the list notation on the right hand side (in this example, the atom a). The rules are implicit because we're reusing Prolog's global predicate namespace. And the start rule is whatever you pass to phrase/2. You would invoke this grammar by calling phrase/2 like this:
phrase(s, X).

where perhaps X is some list you came up with elsewhere. And you could see that this works:
?- phrase(s, X).
X = [a] ;
X = [a, a] ;
X = [a, a, a] ;
X = [a, a, a, a] ;
X = [a, a, a, a, a] .

However, you'll find that if you need to backtrack, this current formalism won't be sufficient:
?- phrase(s, [a,a]).
true ;
ERROR: Out of local stack

This is because the second rule expands s to s, s, which is too much recursion. There are several practical fixes to this problem; the simplest would probably be to change your second rule to this:
s --> [a], s.

If you are dead-set on using your formalism, you're probably going to have to write a meta-interpreter. This task isn't as hard as it sounds, but you're going to want a firmer grounding in the essentials before you aim for it. I myself have never written a DCG meta-interpreter so I can't comment on how much work that is going to entail. I'd want it to look and work more like phrase/2 with DCG-style input than your example; I'd imagine something more like this:
% accept(Grammar, Sentence) is true if Sentence is in Grammar,
%   where Grammar is a structure "grammar(Start, Rules)"
%   and Rules is a list of rules in the DCG notation
accept(grammar(s, [(s --> [a]), (s --> [a], s)]), X).

but I don't know precisely how I'd go about coding accept/2. Hope this helps!

Trains, cars, planes, & then some…..
This month I attended two London Led walks.The walk in Greenwich was a refreshing 5 mile circular walk through all the historic lanes & alleyways;in and around, Greenwich. We strolled through the Royal Park taking in the stunning views of London, followed by christmas dinner at The Cafe Rouge.
Greenwich has always been a tourist destination and rightly so. I feel like I have missed out on so much, mainly due to the fact that I tend to go there on Sundays in the summer when it's too crowded, and never really take the time to visit some of the museums. My to visit list features the Fan Museum.
A winters stroll through the paths and passageways of medieval and revolutionary Clerkenwell.
The following Friday I met the south bank group at Farringdon Station, the walk was led by Martin Fidler;Artist and walk leader. Martin knows his history and we covered about 700 years of history in our two hour walk. Starting at St Johns Gates, venturing into 3 churches and ending at the library where Karl Marx studied.
I will have to go back and visit some places. It was a bit of a whirlwind tour covering a lot of history; being a freezing cold day, & fascinating as it all is, the need to keep moving, meant we covered a lot in a short time.
Executions in Farringdon were a regular spectacle in those days.
Back to 2017 & Street Art.
Street art is something I find interesting and have come across a lot of it lately. Anyone that lives in this day & age can't fail to see the relevance of this Tesco basic brand and it's reinterpretation of it. I was walking down Brick lane last week and discovered this sprayed on a wall. Penge is a place I visit every now & then. I often walk from Brixton to Penge via Crystal Palace Park.
I have a French film on DVD, in which Johnny hallyday plays the part of an ex offender, he's pretty cool. L'homme Du Train, a real sweet film, available on amazon.
Furthermore this was an interesting sight, posted in the window of the corner gallery-a pop art print of the iconic Marylin Monroe next to the iconic image of Jesus and the cruxificion.
After a heavy bout of flu & being bed bound, I eventually managed to get out to take a couple of short walks to clear the nasals it was lovely to be able to walk & not see anyone!
I'm spending the remaining two days of the year in Sleeperz Hotel Westgate Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne. I can't belive I went to school in Westgate Road and am now staying in a hotel here.
Out of all my visits, this place rocks like no other and I will never abandon my roots.
From days when shipping and trading were busy on The Tyne.
Here's to the Best city in the World.
I'm a blogger not a jogger!
At a recent Unite Womens Week in Eastbourne, I had the privilege of staying at The View Hotel for a week overlooking the sea. The course was full on and we had daily workshops running from 9am-5pm.
Being pulled in two directions.
I was aware that this opportunity had come at a time when I was just starting a Social Media Diploma course and had taken unpaid leave to do the course; as well, to review my employment possibilities!
One thing I knew for sure was I was going to walk; eventually I went for it and ran, Essential when your commute is two floors down!
This is the sort of place I could like to see myself living in, I think to myself, a room with a view , open space and the sea air. I'm aware of the problem areas but all seaside resorts have that problem. In fact all UK, towns and cities have a lot worse problems. I love seaside resorts.
I jogged the mile to the start of Beachy Head every morning before breakfast then another walk into town before lunch. I also managed to get a little climb up to Cliffs Edge which overlooks the sea heading towards Beachy Head.
I came across this which is situated walking from Eastbourne View towards Pevensy Bay.
I found a place on the sea front that did Pilates and Yoga, so I joined in with an easy yoga/mediation class, before the UNITE final night disco.!
I'm off on a short walk on the 8/12 round Greenwich area then xmas lunch with the Rambler South east group.
Lastly I would just like to recommend a cafe in Eastbourne Terminus place. The hotel was very good but on arrival there was no lunch, so i found this place and had to go back a couple of more times for their delicious soup.
After a month exploring NYC;I returned and promptly placed an ad in the Melody Maker, stating Female Bass Player seeks Band! I had been playing the bass some years, but just jamming with friends. I got call from a drummer; Yes we had a land line, in the squat. We also had a hose pipe running from the kitchen to the bathroom, which provided us with hot water, but that's another story!
So I met a fantastic drummer who for some reason liked the fact that I had written in my ad that I was seeking a band not looking for a band! I'm not too sure what that was all about; but I sought and I found.
It was a short-lived affair but good fun.
In a period of 3 months we had written a set; created a rehearsal studio/recorded a demo, & Where Now was one of the songs I came up with. A friend of the drummer organised a video shoot for a live gig but due to illness couldn't do the gig so we stepped in, I still have the video, now transcribed to DVD. It always makes me happy to recall that story. I was full of hope and ambition.
Is still the question, & as always the future is uncertain. So what is happening with the walking?
I'm making plans. It's Autumn and the weather has been good.
Got down to Birchington on Sea & walked to Margate, a blustery day with the weather changing every five minutes.
Seeing the dramatic effect of the colour of the sea and sky it's easy to imagine why Turner loved painting the view . The Turner Gallery itself was under construction, but a couple of new exhibitions are opening soon so planning on returning before the end of this year.
We clocked up over 10 miles on this walk. Enjoyed a nice lunch at Margate Harbour, and a beer in a bar over looking the sea. Then walked back to Westgate on Sea and had a couple of beers in the micro pub.
It just takes a bit of effort to walk daily. My general walking day-to-day has increased, partly as I have been spending time in Eltham in October and commuting during the week to Denmark Hill; a 25 minute walk each way to and from the station. If I add a little walk at lunch time,then if going anywhere after work, I find I'm easily walking 4- 5 miles a day.
I did cycle last week to work from Brixton and have found I really don't enjoy it anymore, I think doing the same thing too long is murder for the soul. 12 years is enough. When I start my career break, I can easily cycle, walk, or roller-skate should the fancy take me. Not having to go to Denmark Hill for 3 months will be thanks enough.
Part of the Green Chain Walk cuts through this park linking to other boroughs.
In the meantime I'm looking forward to a weekend in Torquay to visit my brother and nephews, then back to London to get cracking on the various projects that have been on the back burner for far too long.
Watch this space for more talks about walks among other things.
I was away on a walking weekend in Keswick, up in the Lake District, where I met an Australian woman, who inspired me, with tales of her recent visits to New York. She told me how the Hudson River, area had been redeveloped. and recommended the Jane Hotel. It sounded good, I can't recall seeing much of the river on my first and only visit back in 86. I decided to revisit.
The Jane Hotel has quite a history.
In 1912, the survivors of the Titanic stayed at the hotel until the end of the American Inquiry into the ship's sinking. I tend to write about the here & now, but if you like history click on the link below to read more about the history of The Jane.
Reception area at The Jane.
I Really love this pic looking out towards Ellis Island from the Hudson river near The Jane.
THE JANE HOTEL is situated on the embankment of the Hudson River.
It is near where the old meatpacking district used to be and borders on the Chelsea area. If I had to compare it with an area in London, it would be Belgravia around the back of Victoria. The area hosts neat 'little' town houses (at a Grand Price). As well as very good restaurants & cafe's. The Mole restaurant was my favorite, a Mexican place with fantastic food & drinks.
We ordered a ridiculous amount of food, not knowing what things were. Drowned down with non alcoholic cocktails, it was fantastic. Probably about 5000 calories just in that sitting.
BACK in 1986, I travelled alone to NYC on a budget. I was aged 25 with 700 dollars in my pocket.
Back in those days it was $3 a night for a room in a hostel in Harlem. I was young free and single with 4 weeks to explore. I really got to know the whole of the city & beyond from The Bronx to New Jersey, and Long Island. I wanted to extend my visit, but as I was running out of money. I enquired at 'The Whitehouse'( what the locals named the hostel in Harlem) . I got a chance to work as a volunteer at a children's camp in New Jersey. I felt out of my depth. After one night there, I jumped back on a coach to the city.
I had after all travelled to the city, with a vague aim of meeting musicians. Although I did meet a few musicians, and saw a lot of live music. The extended visit had to end. I tried to sell my ticket to go on a road trip to L.A but it wasn't to be. End of trip.
I never get tired of seeing The statue of Liberty, one of many pictures taken from ferry crossing to Staten Island.
This trip to New York, felt very different to the my visit in 1986.
The room in the Jane, was tight. You could not move, for the two bunk beds, that took up most of the limited space. It was stuffy and humid. We kept the air conditioning on all night. With only a tiny window with black meshing covering the window, it made no odds . You could not open it and the view was a brick wall. If you woke up it was difficult to tell if it was morning or night!
We walked about 10 miles every day. One of the walks was from Harlem to 5th Avenue Central park. I attempted to revisit the hostel in St Nicholas Avenue 345th street. On this visit, I couldn't quite place it. Still it was interesting to revisit the area.
Like re- visiting your home town, nothing looks quite the same. Nothing is the same, nor ever will be!
I really enjoyed seeing it all again, but I did find it hard at times. It's a fierce city and was extremely hot every day and this was September. The subway stations were unbearably hot.
We got to know the area of Williamsburg where we found a great little venue called the Union Pool.
They had a great DJ, with a good sized dance hall. A music venue tucked inside, with a different entrance and a large artificial garden outside, with more bars. The bar sold a beer with a shot of tequila for a few dollars. I can' t remember how many of those I had or how we got back to the hotel.! We wondered off with a couple of guys we had made friends with. Sad to say I don't recall much of our late night adventure, out on the town!
Coney Island, The Freak Show is no longer there.
Generally the food was abundant and good everywhere we went.
We visited the Russian Brighton Beach area twice as it was hot enough to swim and sunbathe. In fact it was baking.
We enjoyed a fantastic meal at Tatiana a Russian Restaurant, situated along the seafront. We were treated to a blast of Russian singing; The service was fantastic and the food was great.
The cats looked so well looked after and all the cages had little notes attached with stories written of where the cats were found; mainly in places like The Bronx; some with missing feet, or legs. So sad, but very encouraging to see The New Yorker's volunteering to help home abandoned cats.
Abandoned cats for sale in Union Square all with a story to tell.
American Indian Mask from the Met.
I revisited the Met in search of a lost item.
I was hoping on this visit I might be able to purchase the same book. I had lost with a perfect image. the mask above had ben in the book, I was on the right tracks, it has to be out there somewhere.
Until Next time, Keep on Keeping on. It's all you can do.
I can't explain my feet comes full circle!
The title of PJ Harvey's album seems apt. We were driving down to the West Country for some time out, and the news broke that Brexit had won the vote, n the referendum. A feeling of impending doom took over me. This year has been varied and interesting. I have posted some of my best blogs.
I decided to post the best blogs of 2016. Hope you enjoy.
I would like to dedicate this post to my friend from Cornwall.
Keith Richards who passed away unexpectedly w/end of July 28th 2017. The last time I saw him was at this gig. !
I met Keith in London in the early 80's both of us were on some Government Back to Work Scheme; we became friends as we had a shared interest in bands like The Fall and The Damned! He had a good sense of humour & an appreciation of the 'Dark Side', When he moved back to Cornwall he kindly put me up on my many visits. He gave me the opportunity to really get to know Cornwall. Keith was a real fun guy unfortunately Chron's disease finally got him. RIP Keith.
Let England Shake After all the tension pre Brexit, we got a great polished performance from PJ Harvey.
I'm going to NYC in September and haven't visited there since 1986, at that time I stayed in Harlem for a month,the hostel cost me $3 a night, it was the best time ever I loved it.
This time I'm sharing the experience & staying at The Jane near the 'meatpacking' industry and I'm prepared to have my eyes opened again. I will be doing a lot of walking.
NYC should be a good jumping off point in terms of looking at the bigger picture and making long sought after changes.

Report: Minority Professionals in Cybersecurity Underrepresented in Senior Roles, Paid Less
kathleen.gurchiek@shrm.org
By Kathy Gurchiek March 16, 2018
Cybersecurity professionals of color earn less than their white counterparts, says a new report.
A male cybersecurity professional of color earns an average salary of $121,000—the same as white women—while white men earn, on average, $124,000. Women of color working in cybersecurity earn $115,000—nearly $10,000 less than white men, according to "Innovation Through Inclusion: The Multicultural Cybersecurity Workforce."
The report also showed that people of color working in leadership roles often hold higher academic degrees than their white peers who occupy similar positions. Employment among cybersecurity professionals who identify as a racial or ethnic minority tends to be concentrated in nonmanagement positions, with fewer minorities occupying leadership roles despite being highly educated. The findings are from the eighth edition of the (ISC)² Global Information Security Workforce Study developed by (ISC)²) and The Center for Cyber Safety and Education in partnership with Frost & Sullivan, a global research and consulting organization in Santa Clara, Calif.
There are measures organizations can take to foster and promote the advancement of minorities in technology, the report said. That includes offering mentorship and training programs, executive leadership programs, and companywide recognition programs and events.
SHRM Online has collected the following articles from other news outlets about the lack of diversity and pay equity for minorities working in technology.
Minority Cybersecurity Pros Earn $7K Less than Average, Even with More Education
About 32 percent of cybersecurity professionals of color have experienced workplace discrimination, according to a new report from (ISC)².
Despite earning more degrees, minority cybersecurity workers are less likely to hold leadership roles or make the same salary as their Caucasian peers in the field, it found. On average, a cybersecurity professional of color earns $115,000, while the overall U.S. cybersecurity workforce average salary is $122,000.
(Tech Republic)
Diversity in STEM Workforce Varies Widely Across Jobs
Jobs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) have relatively high earnings compared with many non-STEM jobs, and the earnings gap persists even after controlling for educational attainment. Among workers with similar education, STEM workers earn significantly more, on average, than non-STEM workers.
Despite the earnings advantage, the gender wage gap is wider in STEM occupations than in non-STEM jobs. This is partially because women are clustered in lower-paying STEM jobs in the health care industry and underrepresented in the more lucrative fields of engineering and computer science.
The pattern is similar for blacks and Hispanics, who also tend to be concentrated in less lucrative STEM jobs, widening the measured earnings disparity.
(Pew Research Center)
Minority Cybersecurity Professionals Hold Fewer Leadership Roles
Although minority representation in cybersecurity is higher than the overall U.S. workforce (26 percent versus 21 percent), these professionals are disproportionately in non-management roles, according to a new (ISC)2 report. There's also a pay discrepancy, which significantly affects women of color in cybersecurity careers. To foster diversity in the workplace, 49 percent of minority cybersecurity professionals said mentorship programs are very important.

[SHRM members-only toolkit: Avoiding Adverse Impact In Employment Practices]
African-Americans in STEM jobs Especially Concerned about Workplace Diversity, Discrimination
Blacks and Hispanics are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and math jobs, relative to their presence in the overall U.S. workforce, particularly among workers with a bachelor's degree or higher. Among STEM workers, black workers stand out for their concerns that there is too little attention paid to increasing racial and ethnic diversity at work, their high rates of experience with workplace discrimination, and their beliefs that blacks are not usually met with fair treatment in hiring decisions or in opportunities for promotion and advancement where they work.
Lawsuit: Google Job 'Quotas' Favored Minorities Over White and Asian Men
Google, in seeking to improve its workforce diversity, imposed illegal hiring quotas favoring women, African-Americans and Latinos and discriminating against white and Asian men, a former employee claimed in a lawsuit.
Former Google recruiter Arne Wilberg, who worked in the company's YouTube division, also alleged that the Mountain View, Calif., tech giant systematically discriminated against older engineers in its hiring and sought to purge internal correspondence about its illegal employment practices.

If you are wondering about mortuary jobs, the first thing to think about is whether you can handle the tasks that go along with the job. It is physically, mentally, and emotionally draining and not everyone can handle working with cadavers every day.
There are different areas of a mortuary you can choose to work in. Most mortuaries have a cosmetologist, mortuary's assistant, and funeral director to name a few.
Students that are working towards a mortuary science degree often look for entry level positions in order to gain experience in the business. One popular way to do this is to work on the funeral home support staff. This could include doing simple office work, minor duties during funerals, and even grounds keeping. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, just contact local funeral homes and ask about open positions.
Another popular opportunity is working as a mortuary transport technician. You could be hired by a third-party contractor or directly by the funeral home. You would be responsible for transporting the deceased to the coroner's office or to the funeral home from their place of death. You will need to be prepared to deal with grieving families and answer their questions. This will require you to be professional and sympathetic at all times.
If you plan to make this a career, most states will require an apprenticeship with a professional in order to obtain a license. A funeral director apprentice will allow you to expand your skills and learned new ones from a seasoned professional.
If you have a degree in mortuary science already then you can work as an embalming technician or funeral director. As a funeral director, you will arrange many of the details at funeral services, such as urn and casket sales, memorial table setups, and floral arrangements. You will need to help pre-plan funerals and often help grieving families.


What an amazing journey it's been. When we started out to make this album two years ago, we had no idea how much of a battle it was going to be. From being so joyful last fall after having completed all the recording, to being temporarily damaged in our faith shortly after, and now, finally, breaking through in a glorious way. But the impact and effect the album is already having, as well as the restoration God is doing in our own lives after walking through that wilderness is nothing short of "Only God can". He is awesome beyond measure, and we're glad you're here on this journey with us. Welcome, and we hope this album encourages and inspires you.
Paapa and Melissa, WOW, WOW, WOW!!! What a beautiful album and your voices and lyrics and music are wonderful!!"
You guys are so awesome. We have been listening to your cd non-stop since we got them while driving in our van...I LOVE YOUR SONGS - ALL OF THEM."
Shalom Paapa and Melissa...I have listened to your Album and it has most certainly blessed me and my family...Continue to strive. A crown is waiting. Blessings to you all."

As a little girl, I always wanted to be a princess (after my brief Barbie phase). Of course, most of my desire to be a princess was fuelled by my love for Disney films. This obsession has not left me yet. I am the girl who you will find singing "Let it Go" while I hold a glass of vodka and coke and dreaming of balls in my spare time.
With that, let's dish out the Disney diagnosis and look at the ten sure fire signs that you're a princess at heart.
You randomly burst into song.
Any chance you get, you are singing. Any moment is an opportunity to express yourself through music.
Napping is always on the cards. Also you look amazing doing it.
You dream of adventure and faraway lands.
Of course you've looked out the window at the drizzly weather and dreamed about getting out of here. All Disney princesses want adventure and change.
Your friends are seriously awesome.
Every princess always has the most amazing friends. They'll always be there for you. They'll tell you when your outfit is amazing and even on the messiest nights they'll remind you not to lose your shoes!
You are brave as hell.
You can handle yourself. You face your challenges and are strong and amazing. Girl power!
You dream of finding your prince charming.
Even if he is a little rough around the edges, he'll always be your prince charming.
You won't let anyone else rule your life.
You decide your destiny. No one else. All Disney princesses are strong willed.
Hell yes, you can do everything a man can do. You're not a damsel in distress.


Theatre enthusiasts of the city had a great time witnessing a play titled 'Daroga Ji Chori Ho Gayi,' staged at Rai Ummanath Bali.
Written by JP Singh under the direction of Vivek Mishra, the satirical play was based on a thief who robs a man. Later the man, on filling an FIR, states double the amount of what the thief has actually stolen. The thief then goes to the man to seek an explanation. The character of the thief, and the man, played by Anupam Mishra and Rahul Mishra, respectively, earned them several rounds of applause from the audience.


New studies show the wildly disproportionate effect humans have had on life on Earth.
Our planet's 7.6 billion humans represent just 0.01 per cent of all living things, but that one species has caused the loss of 83 per cent of all wild mammals and half of plants, according to research from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The work was based on comprehensive estimates of the weight of every class of living creature.
Researchers calculated biomass using data from hundreds of studies, which used a range of techniques including satellite imagery and gene sequencing.
They assessed the biomass of different classes of organisms and mapped them against environments that such life could live in across the world.
Using carbon as the key measure, they found all life on Earth contains 550 billion tonnes of the element.
The analysts say bacteria make up 13 per cent of life on Earth, while plants represent 82 per cent. That leaves all other creatures from insects and fungi to the largest quadrupeds, making up just 5 per cent of the world's biomass.
"I was shocked to find there wasn't already a comprehensive, holistic estimate of all the different components of biomass," said lead author Professor Ron Milo.
Human activity has had such a profound, system-wide effect that some scientists consider this a new geological era – the Anthropocene.
The rise of corollary species such as the domestic chicken is considered one marker of the new era.
The study in question estimates poultry now makes up 70 per cent of all birds on the planet, leaving just 30 per cent in the wild.
Around 60 per cent of all mammals on Earth are livestock, mostly cattle and pigs, 36 per cent are human and 4 per cent are wild animals.
"It is pretty staggering," said Prof Milo.
"In wildlife films, we see flocks of birds, of every kind, in vast amounts, and then when we did the analysis we found there are [far] more domesticated birds.
"It is definitely striking, our disproportionate place on Earth.
When the new estimates are compared with those for the time before humans became farmers, the study shows just one-sixth of wild mammals, from mice to elephants, remain today.
"Our dietary choices have a vast effect on the habitats of animals, plants and other organisms," Prof Milo said.
"I would hope people would take this [work] as part of their world view of how they consume.
