Figure Skating Diversity and Inclusion Alliance

FSDIA Foundation is organizing this fundraiser.
The Figure Skating Diversity and Inclusion Alliance (FSDIA), established in June 2020, is a non-profit organization founded by a group of internationally competitive and professional figure skaters from different backgrounds and regions around the world. The mission of FSDIA is to foster a more diverse and inclusive figure skating environment worldwide through policy change, program development, and funding for the next generation of athletes.
Throughout history, segregation and racial injustice – through both official policy and implicit bias – have shaped the structure of our society, making it nearly impossible for people of color to occupy a space in the world of figure skating. Today racial bias, prejudice, and the wealth gap caused by systematic racism continue to manifest in our communities, alienating people of color from opportunities in all aspects of life, including the sport of figure skating. FSDIA recognizes how these factors contribute directly and indirectly to figure skating's lack of representation and support of Black and brown people within the sport.
FSDIA members have pledged to create a space that welcomes, celebrates, and supports people of color in the sport of figure skating by:
· Inspiring national and international sports associations to change and create effective policies geared towards providing education, accountability, and equitable representation that supports diversity and inclusive environments.
· Providing mentorship programs and offering guidance for skaters and parents to navigate this highly intricate sport, allowing them to tap into a community of accomplished skaters and coaches of color to gain support throughout their journeys in figure skating.
· Showcasing and increasing representation of BIPOC skaters by highlighting their stories to uplift the next generation of athletes around the world. It is imperative for our communities to have role models and inspiration reflecting their different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
· Alleviating some of the financial strains that affect the accessibility of the sport. FSDIA will use some of its resources to offset skating-related fees that contribute to a skater's success. The total cost to fund a skater's career can range from $5,000—$50,000 per year depending on competitive level, with higher-level competitors spending upwards of $100,000 per year. We have seen and felt how these financial obstacles disproportionately affect people of color and can hinder skaters from achieving their highest potential in the sport that they love. We do not believe that a lack of funding should be a deciding factor in a skater's career or deter them from experiencing the joy that figure skating can bring to their lives.
Our campaign goal is $100,000. Our organization will distribute the funds with the following percentage breakdowns:
+ Scholarships/Donations-- 50%
+ Admin -- 17%
Fundraising/Representation Initiatives-- 12.5%
Social Media-- 7%
Education, Programs, & Training-- 6.7%
Policy Change & Research-- 6.7%
Acknowledging that other organizations share our passion and have similar goals for the future of figure skating, we also plan to support the efforts of those that have been fighting to make an impact within their communities.
With your donations, FSDIA will continue to grow towards becoming an international non-profit organization. Join us in realizing our global vision of a future where BIPOC figure skaters feel supported and celebrated, where they can fulfill their potential, and most importantly, inspire others to do the same.
Please express your support through donations and by sharing our message.

Div1Edtech has a number of blog posts that may be useful for technology planning and for school start up.
Late August/early September is a great time to set up a class website or landing page. Check out the post A One Stop Shop! The Benefits of a Class Website to see why! I am thinking about setting up this year's class website using Google Sites. Check out the student landing page I made using Google Sites for my previous school: Together We Accomplish More.
EPSB Staff cab also use SchoolZone as a landing page. Put the websites you will regularly use as links on the Resources section! If it is your first post there, it will stay at the top for the rest of the year which will make it easy for your students to access from home and school regularly.
Part of setting up your classroom is thinking about resources, traditional and digital. What subscriptions are worth the money? Check out the blog post Subscriptions and Sign Ups as a jumping off point.
As you put together your year plan, think about how you might incorporate technology. In the 2012-13 school year I tried to chronicle my technology use in the very long post This is the blog post that doesn't end. Yes, it goes on and on my friend.
HELP! How do I get my class logged onto the computer for the very first time?
Please post your tips, links and suggestions in the comments for division one technology school start up ideas!


Esther's commitment to God and ability to do what seemed impossible gave me hope. My weight problem seemed small compared to what Esther faced. If she could do what needed to be done, so could I.
Jesus said "love one another," and the word He used was "agape." Agape is the highest form of love. It's deliberate refusal to respond negatively. It's a conquest of the will.

How much of God's love have you experienced? The love of God is awesome and deep more than your natural mind can imagine. The love of God is everything you need to be stable and successful in life. This post is aimed at making you desire more of God's manifestation of His love in your life.
That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height —to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God – Ephesians 3:16-19 (NKJV).
The love of God is beyond description, but one thing I know is that it is wonderful. It is the answer to all your challenges. The love of God covers multitude of sin (Proverbs 10:12), it is the greatest of the great three (1 Corinthians 13:13), and it enables you to obey God (John 14:21). The love of God is the reason we are saved John 3:16) and the reason why many of us are not consumed (Lamentation 3:22). The love of God passes knowledge and it is the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19). The list can go on and on.
Paul prayed in Ephesians 3:16-19 that the Ephesians being rooted and grounded in love may have an understanding of the totality of the love of Christ (that cannot be compared with any human exploit, knowledge or invention – addition mine). Having the love of God fully in you and in manifestation is to have God Himself fully in you and in manifestation (John 14:23).
The word of God is God and God is love (John 1:1, 1 John 4:8). The world is created and sustained by love (Hebrews 1:3, Hebrews 11:3); that is one reason why I believe the world will be destroyed when love goes, i.e., the world will be terrible to live in. When the Holy Spirit who represents God on earth (2 Thessalonians 2:7), is taken away, the world will be unbearable to live in. That is why we must endeavour to be part of the first flight (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
Furthermore, an emotionally stable person is a product of love, who grew and walked being surrounded by love and the person would be surrounded by love in death. Jesus is a good example, He was born because of God's love for humanity, walked on earth by love, evidenced in the recorded interactions he had with people, and he died because of His love for humanity.
In essence, the love of God makes all the difference. There is incredibly more to the power of God's love in one's life than we can imagine. That was why Paul prayed that prayer for the Ephesians. When you fully understand and live by the love of God, your life will never be the same again. It is the difference between failure and success (Joshua 1:8), lack and want (Psalm 37:25), joy and sadness (John 15:11), victory and defeat (1 John 4:4), peace and sorrow (Philippians 4:7), unity and disorder (Colossians 3:14), good health and sickness (Exodus 23:25).
Therefore, if you don't like a situation and you desire a change, introduce the love of God into it and a wonderful change will occur. Where there is strife all manner of evil occur (James 3:16), this means that where there is love all manner of good things occur. This also calls for prayers for the love of God in our nations, churches, homes, and communities. Let's not murmur and complain, instead let's walk in love, show good examples and go on our knees to effect the change that we desire.


The Australian Marketing Institutes (AMI) Awards for Marketing Excellence were held on the 22nd of October in Melbourne and showed diversity in the winners, with Youngcare and the University of Sydney Union both taking out the AMI 2008 Marketing Program of the Year award.
The Certified Practicing Marketer of the Year (CPM) was awarded to Tara Lordsmith, general manager of retail marketing at Simplot Australia and has been working in FMCG for the past 12 years.
The Sir Charles McGrath Award, which is presented as recognition of long-term service to marketing and marketing achievement was awarded to Justin Milne, group managing director of Telstra Media.


The objectives of this research project are to: (1) document the long-term evolution of community structure during the Ordovician radiation of benthic marine invertebrates; (2) explore the relationship between morphologic disparity and community structure on evolutionary time scales; (3) understand the evolutionary consequences of abundance/rarity; and (4) determine environmental factors important in maintaining within-habitat biodiversity among benthic marine invertebrates.
To test whether ecologically based predictions are relevant to the long-term evolution of community structure, well-preserved Cambrian to Ordovician fossil assemblages from North America will be quantitatively sampled. The Ordovician is particularly appropriate for testing hypotheses concerning the evolution of community structure because it is a period of rapid taxonomic diversification and morphologic evolution for many modern and extinct groups. Evenness will be measured using an appropriate summary statistic, and morphologic disparity will be quantified from published analyses and from simple independent analyses.
With a comprehensive community-level paleontological database containing species-level presence/absence, abundance, and morphologic data as well as information about paleoenvironmental conditions, it should be possible to address many hypotheses concerning the evolution of community structure and the influence of abundance on rates of evolution.

QPR: Don't Panic, We're No Strangers To A Bad Start
The squad's filled with talent, but a leaking defence and a mis-firing forward line has kept QPR rock bottom; but it's not time to panic about the season…yet.
What's been the problem for QPR this season? Well, I don't think there's been just one. The bigger question is how to rectify them. A lot of fans will place the blame solely inside Mark Hughes' letterbox which doesn't surprise me as he wasn't an altogether popular choice to begin with. The Park Ji-Sung as captain thing got a lot of people questioning his decisions straight away - that and constantly picking Shaun Wright-Phillips in front of an eager Junior Hoilett. A lot of people want to see the back of him by bringing Harry Redknapp in, just like that, because he'd automatically be appointed, apparently.
I think we need to have a hard look at the team QPR currently have. They possess a bunch of talented midfielders that fill every gap needed in the centre of the pitch. They have 3 talented wingers. There's elegance and composure in the middle with Faurlin and Granero. A match-winner in Adel Taarabt, a tank in Samba Diakite and people like Mackie and Park Ji-Sung that'll run around like headless chickens for the shirt that they're wearing.
It's in defence and attack that it seems they're still seriously lacking. Stephane M'Bia looked like an inspired signing and I still think this is the case - he's just got a hot head and QPR- more most teams- can't afford any more red cards. The defence has just been leaking goals really, that's enough to lose you points and that's what's been happening. Bosingwa has been given the run around by pretty much anyone with a ball at their feet this season. An Impressive Ryan Nelson has had to deal with 3 different partners at centre back and Traore isn't and hasn't looked match fit.
QPR: Why Hughes Should Be Backed
Marseille Fans On Joey Barton
In attack, on the other hand it's just a case of Bobby Zamora doing all he can and Djibril Cisse looking incredibly disinterested. I think a lot of Mark Hughes' goal hopes were resting on Djibril's shoulder and he just hasn't been able to carry on the hot streak from the end of last season. Andrew Johnson looked very lively in a QPR shirt but finds himself once more getting comfortable on the injury table, so that leaves QPR searching for goals. Rob Hulse and DJ Campbell have been banging 'em in- how about it, ay?
I wouldn't panic personally. Be annoyed? Yes. Vent on Twitter? Check. But panic? I can't say that I have yet. It's a long season and although I would've liked a win I'm no stranger to a bad QPR start. January can't come quick enough for Mark Hughes it seems but will more players help or just add more pieces to an already uncompleted puzzle? Surely a prolific striker must be on the shopping list; I've heard mumbles of Darren Bent but we'll see. It's a long, long road- every season is.

Валерий Витальевич Святохо (; ) — белорусский легкоатлет, специалист по метанию молота. Выступал за сборную Белоруссии по лёгкой атлетике в 2003—2013 годах, обладатель бронзовой медали Универсиады, победитель и призёр первенств национального значения, участник двух летних Олимпийских игр. Мастер спорта Республики Беларусь международного класса.

Биография
Валерий Святохо родился 20 июля 1981 года в городе Гродно Белорусской ССР.

Окончил Гродненское училище олимпийского резерва (1995—2000) и факультет психологии Гродненского государственного университета (2001—2009). Занимался лёгкой атлетикой под руководством тренера Игоря Владимировича Цицорина.

Впервые заявил о себе в метании молота на международном уровне в сезоне 2003 года, когда вошёл в состав белорусской национальной сборной и выступил на молодёжном европейском первенстве в Быдгоще, где с результатом 70,28 стал четвёртым.

Будучи студентом, в 2005 году представлял Белоруссию на Универсиаде в Измире — показал результат 74,71 и завоевал бронзовую медаль.

В мае 2006 года на соревнованиях в Бресте установил свой личный рекорд в метании молота — 81,49 метра (пятый результат мирового сезона).

Благодаря череде удачных выступлений удостоился права защищать честь страны на летних Олимпийских играх 2008 года в Пекине — в программе метания молота показал результат 74,41 метра, чего оказалось недостаточно для преодоления предварительного квалификационного этапа.

После пекинской Олимпиады Святохо остался действующим спортсменом на ещё один олимпийский цикл и продолжил принимать участие в крупнейших международных стартах. Так, в 2010 году на турнире в Гродно он показал 12-й результат мирового сезона — 78,33 метра, тогда как на чемпионате Европы в Барселоне стал в финале четвёртым (78,20).

В 2011 году с результатом 78,02 метра, показанном на соревнованиях в Минске, занял 18-е место в мировом рейтинге метателей молота. На чемпионате мира в Тэгу метнул молот на 71,58 метра и в финал не вышел.

В 2012 году стал четвёртым на чемпионате Европы в Хельсинки (75,83). Выполнив олимпийский квалификационный норматив (78,00), благополучно прошёл отбор на Олимпийские игры в Лондоне — в финале метания молота показал результат 73,13 метра, расположившись в итоговом протоколе соревнований на 11-й строке.

В 2013 году отметился выступлением на чемпионате мира в Москве, где с результатом 72,05 в финал не вышел.

Пытался пройти отбор на Олимпийские игры в Рио-де-Жанейро, но из-за травмы не смог этого сделать и по окончании сезона 2016 года завершил спортивную карьеру.

Старший лейтенант милиции, инспектор по делам несовершеннолетних Октябрьского РОВД г. Гродно.

Q: AngularJS display alert depending on input value I am coding a CRUD application in Angular and Web API.
In the create/edit form (same template), I need to display an error message if 2 input fields don't have the same number of comma ','.
I found a way to make it work but I don't like it, I think it needs to be "angularized" but I don't know how.
Controller:
$scope.isColumnCountOk = true;
$scope.checkColumnCountOk = function () { $scope.isColumnCountOk = AdminUtils.isColumnCountOk($scope.item.columnSqlNames, $scope.item.columnTitles) };

Template:
 <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="item.columnTitles" placeholder="Report Column 1,Report Column 2,Report Column 3,..." ng-blur="checkColumnCountOk()" required />

Warning. Mismatch between column numbers

I would like to get rid of the $scope.isColumnCountOk and have the function called directly from the template, without storing the return value in the scope.
Any advice?
Bruno

A: I think both of these ways should work...
$scope.isColumnCountOk = function () {
    return AdminUtils.isColumnCountOk($scope.item.columnSqlNames, $scope.item.columnTitles);
};

    ...

Or
$scope.isColumnCountOk = AdminUtils.isColumnCountOk;

    ...

Rebound Hangs in Balance for Emerging Markets as Headwinds Grow
Sydney Maki
Simon Flint
(Bloomberg) -- Emerging-market stocks and currencies are within touching distance of erasing their pandemic-fueled losses of 2020. Too bad the virus is still running riot, economies are shrinking and central banks are getting low on firepower.
In fact, the backdrop is so grim that investors may soon start to take the view that prices are starting to defy gravity. After falling more than 30% by March, developing-nation stocks as measured by MSCI Inc.'s benchmark index are just about 3% below the level at which they started the year. A gauge of currencies is also 3% short of its 2020 starting point, while a Bloomberg-Barclays index of local bonds is already back in positive territory.
The reality is that currencies have been underpinned by the slide in the U.S. dollar, stocks are riding the global stimulus wave and bonds are enjoying the boost provided by more than 5,500 basis points of interest-rate cuts across emerging markets since the start of 2019.
Which makes the start of August -- typically one of the riskiest months of the year for the asset class -- a cause for nervousness.
"Given the pandemic shows no signs of subsiding, a weak economic tone will almost certainly be carried over to August," Prakash Sakpal, an economist at ING Groep NV in Singapore, wrote in a report. "Unfortunately, central bank monetary easing to support growth has also reached its limits."
Activity data due in coming days may help investors gauge where the developing world is headed next, as many countries seek to recover from periods of government-imposed social isolation. PMIs for South Korea and Taiwan -- among Asia's manufacturing powerhouses -- advanced last month alongside most others in the region, according to IHS Markit figures Monday. In comparison, activity data in Chile may underscore the severity of the virus in Latin America, the current hotspot for the disease.
Brazil's central bank is expected to cut rates by a quarter-percentage point this week, taking borrowing costs to a record low of 2% in a bid to support an economy devastated by the second-highest number of Covid-19 cases. Bets on more easing are less certain in India, where policy makers are weighing the necessity of further stimulus against the risk of a rising inflation rate.

Central Bank Meetings
Brazilian policy makers are expected to reduce the key rate on Wednesday to an all-time low of 2%, according to the median of economist forecasts compiled by Bloomberg. Industrial production figures on Tuesday may provide insight into how the virus is affecting South America's biggest economy
The Bank of Thailand is likely to leave rates on hold on Wednesday, the penultimate meeting for the outgoing governor. Analysts may be looking for subtle changes of policy tone because, although the incoming Sethaput Suthiwart-Narueput only takes over on Oct. 1, he is an existing monetary policy board member, potentially giving him more voice at this week's meeting. The Thai baht has perked up in the past week, but is a long way from making up the ground lost since the end of June as idiosyncratic flows, benign neglect from the central bank, and disappointing tourism numbers undercut the currency
The Reserve Bank of India's meeting on Thursday hangs in the balance. While the RBI has plenty of space for rate cuts and has flagged a willingness to continue to loosen, it may be concerned that inflation has been persistently high. Indian bonds have remained in a holding pattern in the third quarter, in contrast with the rally seen in Indonesia
Colombia's central bank will release meeting minutes on Monday, which will offer insight into the July policy decision, when officials cut rates for a fifth straight meeting. Consumer-price figures for July, to be released on Wednesday, may show a fourth monthly decline
Debt Restructurings
The self-imposed deadline for Argentina to wrap up debt talks on a $65 billion bond-restructuring deal expires Tuesday, though the government hasn't ruled out another delay. While investors are split on whether to accept the nation's latest offer, Bloomberg Economics sees the most recent government proposal as very close to the nation's limit
Argentina's creditors have approached several international organizations to seek endorsement for a proposal to change the rules that govern some of the country's overseas securities, according to people familiar with the matter
Ecuador won the support of the majority of bondholders required to restructure $17.4 billion in international debt on Monday, reducing the South American nation's obligations
Data and Events
China's Caixin services data are likely to be fairly stable in Wednesday's reading
China's July trade data may add to optimism about further recovery in the world's second-largest economy. However, the yuan's appreciation has stalled, partly as the temperature has risen between the U.S. and China
Several Asian nations release inflation data:
Indonesia's consumer prices in July rose 1.54%, the lowest level since May 2000
On Tuesday Korean CPI may rise above zero for the first time since April. On Wednesday, Thai CPI is expected to remain negative in a year-on-year terms and in Taiwan base effects could drive the reading close to the zero line versus a year ago in data due on Thursday
The Philippines is releasing a slew of economic data. May remittances fell the most since January 2001 as Filipinos overseas sent home $2.11 billion, down 19.3% from a year ago
On Wednesday, June trade numbers and July inflation rate are due and on Thursday second-quarter GDP data may show a further plunge in activity
Indonesia will release second-quarter GDP data on Wednesday, and economists expect a sharp contraction. Indonesian bonds continued to rally last week following another strong auction, and despite news of higher future budget deficits
South Korea's current-account numbers are due on Thursday
On Friday, investors will monitor Mexico's July inflation figures for clues on how the virus and measures to offset its economic drag are impacting consumer prices
On Monday, Chile's economic activity fell less than expected in June as mining output increased despite lockdowns across many parts of the country
South Africa's manufacturing PMI, released Monday, remained above the 50 level that signifies expansion in July, as the economy rebounds from the Covid-19 hit; PMIs in Poland, Hungary and Russia may also have climbed above the 50 level after sinking to record lows in May
Russia's consumer-inflation rate probably increased to 3.4% in the year through July, from 3.2% the previous month, data may show Wednesday, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey
Turkey's inflation rate probably moderated in July to 12% from 12.6%, a report may show Tuesday

Just look at America's immigration policies over the last 150 years
I am exhausted.
To be a woman in America is tiring enough—but to also be an Asian woman in America can be so emotionally taxing. Where we lament seeing so few woman in leadership positions, particularly in media, tech, and hospitality, we barely see any Asian Americans, let alone female, holding such titles.
And to have my identity be rooted in not being born in the U.S., I am constantly at odds with a system that cannot see past the colour of my skin, and acknowledge the right that I have to be here: first as a student, then as a working professional, and now as a permanent resident. Instead, I am consistently met with surprise when I say I am from Canada and then have to dance around the awkward insinuation of "where are you really from?"
I have been exhausted for years.
I was exhausted when I realized I was not safe in a place that should've protected me the most: the student health center at my college. To not be listened to by my assigned nurse practitioner—who also proceeded to falsify my patient history (which has larger repercussions since thee are records accessible by other practitioners at N.Y.U.)—is most certainly harmful, but to also be on the receiving end of assumptions and disparaging racial remarks is devastating. Perhaps the most unsolicited and baseless remark to date was: "Koreans smile when they're angry." I'm not Korean, and I never said that I was.
I was exhausted when I witnessed nobody would come to my defense at an East Village eatery when a man berated me to go back where I came from and that my kind was not welcome. Among a queue of ten people and fifteen seated diners, not one person intervened when I made attempts to defend myself and articulate that I was from Canada. The most support I got was when I dropped the argument and a woman simply said: "Don't mind him. He's old." That is an easy statement to make when you know that you will never have to hear it about yourself.
I was exhausted when my USCIS interviewer greeted me with: "Leung. Canada? Oh. By your name, I thought you'd be another China case." To have to grin and bear the next hour of passive aggressive remarks by someone that determined my fate in the country wasn't so much swallowing bitterness, as it was just having to eat shit with a smile on my face.
All of this pain that I have outlined above as examples of what Asian Americans have had to endure wasn't created overnight. The previous Administration's mishandling of the pandemic merely exposed the hypocrisy of the "American dream" and the country's underpinnings of systemic racism against Asian Americans.
We have been throwing ourselves at a system that has been designed to fail us since day one. How can you trust a government that has spent almost 150 years crafting iterations on laws to keep them from building a future here?
Ted Lieu @tedlieu
One year ago, we had a former President and White House officials inflaming hate against Asian Americans. Some elected officials continue to use ethnic identifiers in describing the virus, which adds fuel to the hate. If you are one of those officials, please stop. #StopAsianHate
Weijia Jiang @weijia
This morning a White House official referred to #Coronavirus as the "Kung-Flu" to my face. Makes me wonder what they're calling it behind my back.

If you want to see how far back America goes in terms of attempting to preserve a homogeneous population, we can take a look at 19th century immigration policies right on through to those of the 20th century.
The Page Act of 1875
For those that have been following Twitter, you'll have seen several references made to the Page Act of 1875 as it pertains to the U.S.' historical attitude towards Asian women. Passed during the 43rd session of Congress, the law was enacted under the guise of preventing prostitutes from migrating to the U.S. But in reality, it was a law that was aimed at keeping Chinese women from entering the U.S. This policy wasn't so much a restriction on labour categories as it was the first explicit restriction on race.
The specific clauses as it pertains to women read as follows:
That in determining whether the immigration of any subject of China, Japan, or any Oriental country, to the United States, is free and voluntary… it shall be the duty of the consul-general or consul of the United States residing at the port… to ascertain whether such immigrant bas entered into a contract or agreement for a term of service within the United States, for lewd and immoral purposes…
SEC. 5. That it shall be unlawful for aliens of the following classes to immigrate into the United States, namely… women "imported for the purposes of prostitution." Every vessel arriving in the United States may be inspected… if he shall have reason to believe that any such obnoxious persons are on board… importation is hereby forbidden.
While the law was presented as a way to restrict involuntary "importation"—let's note the objectifying word choice—it was only heavily enforced against Chinese women. This policing of immigrants on the basis of sexuality was, as we note in the clause above, at the consul-general or consul's discretion. There was no actual criteria or rubric to follow.
Let's make no mistake that the adjudications of Chinese women as prostitutes was happenstance. During the Seventh Annual Message to the U.S. Senate and House of Representations, President Ulysses S. Grant made the motivation and false equivocation of this law clear:
While this is being done I invite the attention of Congress to another, though perhaps no less an evil--the importation of Chinese women, but few of whom are brought to our shores to pursue honorable or useful occupations.
Not only are Chinese women objectified by the 1875 law, but the President, who spoke in December of that year, saw little value in their lives. And we see this objectifying and demonizing rhetoric again when Cherokee County Sheriff's Office Capt. Jay Baker said of the Atlanta shooter: "He apparently has an issue, what he considers a sex addiction … it's a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate."
Let me be clear: Asian women are not objects; Asian women are not a "temptation"; Asian women are not something to "eliminate."
Immigration Act of 1882 (The Chinese Exclusion Act) and its 1943 repeal
Known as the first and only major federal legislation to outright suspend immigration for a specific ethnic group, the Chinese Exclusion Act and its amendments remained in full force until it was repealed in 1943 with the Magnuson Act.
The act barred all Chinese labourers from entering the United States for period of ten years (which was first renewed in 1892 with the Geary Act and then made permanent in 1902). Further, it was noted that Chinese immigrants would be ineligible for naturalization. Two categories were exempted from the ban: merchants and students. Beginning in 1915, restaurant owners qualified under the merchant category, hence why there was a rapid growth of Chinese restaurants in America in the early 20th century.
What the Geary Act introduced in 1892, apart from an extension of the ban, was the requirement that all Chinese immigrants had to possess "certificates of residence" ("and "certificates of identity after the McCreary amendment) that served as proof of legal presence in the U.S. These pieces of identification had to be carried at all times, or otherwise risk arrest, followed by punishment via hard labour and deportation. The burden of proof was put on the shoulders of Chinese immigrants, and served as a means for the U.S. to both exercise control over a group of people and create opportunities to rid of them.
While the Magnuson Act repealed The Chinese Exclusion Act in 1943, it did little to promote immigration. The lift on the ban served more as a political tool than anything else, on account of the fact that the U.S. and China were allies in World War II. When I say that it did little to promote immigration, it is because the Magnuson Act's annual quotas allowed for a maximum of 105 Chinese nationals to immigrate to the U.S. Yes, I said that correctly: one hundred and five people per year.
How did we get arrive at that number? Well, this figure of 105 was said to have been determined by the Immigration Act of 1924, which set immigration quotas at 2% of the U.S. population from the emigrants' country recorded in the 1890 census. However, if you look at the number of Chinese persons in the U.S. in 1890, that population was recorded at 105 465. 2% of that 105 465 is not 105 persons. Had U.S. Representative Magnuson followed through with the 2% logic, the immigration quota would have been set at 2109 Chinese emigrants annually .
Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (McCarran-Walter Act)
Most notable with regards to the McCarran-Walter Act was its abolishment of the "alien ineligible to citizenship" category. And yes, this category, in practice, only applied to people of Asian descent.
Unfortunately, annual quotas of 100 immigrants per country were set forth for Asian countries noted in the "Asiatic barred zone" (the Immigration Act of 1917). For an added layer of restriction, there was another quota, which capped immigration at 2000 persons annually from the aforementioned zone.
Also, people of Asian descent who were citizens of a non-Asian country still counted toward the quota of their ancestral Asian country. With laws such as these, it comes as no surprise then that the "where you really from?" question is so pervasive in American discourse.
Even though people of Asian descent could now become eligible for citizenship, immigrating to the U.S. from Asia was still frowned upon what with such restrictive and dehumanizing policies.
erique // 张尔宁 // they/them @er_ique
Some of the earliest US legislation restricting immigration specifically targeted Chinese women under the assumption that they were sex workers. The sexualization of Asian women goes hand-in-hand with the white supremacist desire to control and punish Asian female sexuality.

Where we do stand today?
The Hart-Cellar Act (i.e. the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965) is the set of immigration provisions that are still in practice today. The most notable update from the McCarran-Walter Act, though, is the elimination of the national origins quotas that I described above.
Setting up the foundation for present-day immigration, a seven-category preference system was created with priority for relatives of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, as well as priority for professionals with specialized skills.
On that note, though, the immigration system in the U.S. still awards permanent residency by still placing emphasis on "country of origin" (i.e country of birth), as opposed to citizenship. It's no surprise that so much of the general public has an obsession with asking "where are you really from" when the country's own immigration system cannot fathom that where one was born does not equate with one's nationality. To the American immigration system, it is still so much one and the same.
And quotas are also still very much a thing, but in a different form. Per my post about the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, each "country of origin" is allotted 7% of the annual distribution of green cards, which is to say that countries that have a lot of folks immigrating to the U.S. end up in a backlog of 5–10 years per the latest visa bulletin. The implication here, particularly for those that are on an employer-based route, is that sponsee is potentially tied to their employer for almost a decade— a modern day version of indentured servitude. And as it turns out, the folks most affected with regards to employment-based cases are those born in China and India.
Yes, the sponsee can change jobs to a different company via portability if on an H-1B, but if you are on an employer-based green card, the petition is based on the job for which you are sponsored. If you change jobs and have to go in to interview for your green card petition, you may be asked why did you leave your employer if the employer is sponsoring you for a job at their company. And even if you have an otherwise airtight petition, the slightest doubt at the USCIS officer's discretion can cause disarray and subsequently require more time and paperwork.
Immigration policies have been restrictive to Asian Americans in the mid- to late-19th century and still are almost 150 years later. The system has simply masked its continued disdain for us—Asian Americans and/or immigrants—with different rules and laws, all the while telling us that this country is the land of hopes and dreams. And perhaps it is, but they weren't talking to us.

The Reilly residence is a unique design project located right on the gulf of Mexico.
The client desired to use a custom modular construction method for his new vacation residence on an unregularly shaped lot located on a gulf canal.
Hlevel was able to successfully translate the clients ideas of creating a design based on the modular footprints as well as the important condition to create gulf and water views for all main living areas. The building also had to be built on piles to withstand storm forces.

\section{Introduction}
Chiral symmetry of massless Quantum Chromodynamics has become the key tool in the study of the very low-energy domain
of strong interactions (typically $E \sim M_{\pi}$), where QCD turns non-perturbative. It is indeed the guiding principle
in the construction of Chiral Perturbation Theory ($\chi PT$), the effective field theory of QCD in this energy region
\cite{Weinberg:1978kz,Gasser:1983yg,Gasser:1984gg}. The $\chi PT$ Lagrangian has a perturbative structure guided
 by powers of external
momenta and light quark masses. It involves the multiplet of pseudoGoldstone bosons, i.e. pseudoscalar mesons ($\pi$,
$K$, $\eta$), and classical auxiliary fields. The theory, up to a fixed order in the expansion ${\cal O}(p^n)$, can be
obtained by a construction guided by chiral symmetry~:
\begin{equation}
{\cal L}_{\chi PT} \, = \, {\cal L}_2^{\chi PT} + {\cal L}_4^{\chi PT} + {\cal L}_6^{\chi PT} + ... +
{\cal L}_n^{\chi PT} \, .
\end{equation}
${\cal L}_2^{\chi PT}$ embodies the spontaneous breaking of the chiral symmetry and depends only on two parameters~: $F$,
the decay constant of the pion, and $B_0 F^2 = - \langle 0 | \overline{\psi} \psi |0 \rangle$, the vacuum expectation
value of the light quarks; both of them in the chiral limit. Higher orders in the expansion bring in the information
from short-distance contributions that have been integrated out, for instance resonance states. As in any effective field
theory (EFT) this information is incorporated into the low-energy constants (LECs) that weight the operators of the theory~:
\begin{eqnarray} \label{eq:chpt}
{\cal L}_4^{\chi PT} \, = \, \sum_{i=1}^{10} L_i {\cal O}_i^{(4)} \, , & \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;
\; \; \;  \; \; \; & \;
{\cal L}_6^{\chi PT} \, = \, \sum_{i=1}^{90} C_i {\cal O}_i^{(6)} \; ,
\end{eqnarray}
for $SU(3)$. Explicit expressions for the operators can be read from Refs.~\cite{Gasser:1984gg,Bijnens:1999sh}. The scale
that specifies the chiral expansion, $\Lambda_{\chi} \sim M_V$ (being $M_V$ the mass of the $\rho(770)$, the lightest
hadron not included in the theory), indicates that LECs in $\chi PT$ should receive
contributions from the energy regime at or above that scale \cite{Georgi:1991ch}. The determination of the contributions
of the lightest multiplets of resonances to the ${\cal O}(p^4)$ LECs in ${\cal L}_4^{\chi PT}$ \cite{Ecker:1988te} has
shown that they indeed saturate the values extracted from the phenomenological analyses. As a consequence it is reasonable to
think that the most important contribution to the LECs is provided by the energy region immediately above the integrated
scale ($E \sim \Lambda_{\chi}$).

\section{The role of Resonance Chiral Theory}
As illustrated in the ${\cal O}(p^4)$ case \cite{Ecker:1988te,Ecker:1989yg} a procedure to systematically determine
the resonance contributions to the LECs in $\chi PT$ is available. Essentially the idea is to construct a Lagrangian
theory in terms of resonances, pseudoscalar mesons and auxiliary fields respecting the underlying chiral symmetry. Then,
upon integration of the heavier states, the $\chi PT$ Lagrangian is recovered. The outcome of this first step is that
LECs are traded by the equally unknown couplings of the resonance Lagrangian though, at this point, one may also notice
relations between LECs. In a second stage information on the resonance couplings is obtained, whether from phenomenology
or, more interestingly, by imposing theoretical constraints from the QCD asymptotic behaviour of form factors or Green
functions.
\par
Contrarily to $\chi PT$, the lack of a mass gap between the spectrum of light-flavoured resonances and the perturbative
continuum prevents the construction of an appropriate EFT to describe the interaction of resonances
and pseudoscalar mesons. However there are several tools that allow us to grasp relevant features of QCD and to
implement them in an EFT-like Lagrangian model. The two relevant basis are the following~:
\vspace*{0.2cm} \\
i) A theorem put forward by S.~Weinberg \cite{Weinberg:1978kz} and worked out by H.~Leutwyler \cite{Leutwyler:1993iq}
states that if one writes down the most general possible Lagrangian, including all terms consistent with
assumed symmetry principles, and then calculates matrix elements with this Lagrangian to any given order of
perturbation theory, the result will be the most general possible S--matrix amplitude consistent with analyticity,
perturbative unitarity, cluster decomposition and the principles of symmetry that have been required.
\vspace*{0.1cm} \\
ii) The inverse of the number of colours of the $SU(N_C)$ gauge group can be taken as a perturbative expansion
parameter \cite{'tHooft:1974hx}. Large-$N_C$ QCD shows features that resemble, both qualitatively and quantitatively,
the $N_C=3$ case \cite{Peris:1998nj}. In practice, the consequences of this approach are that meson dynamics in the
large-$N_C$ limit
is described by tree diagrams of an effective local Lagrangian involving an infinite spectrum of zero-width mesons.
\vspace*{0.2cm}
\par
Both statements can be combined by constructing a Lagrangian theory in terms of $SU(3)$ (pseudoGoldstone mesons)
and $U(3)$ (heavier resonances) flavour multiplets as active degrees of freedom. This has been established
\cite{Ecker:1988te,Ecker:1989yg,Cirigliano:2006hb} systematically and devises what is known as Resonance Chiral
Theory ($R \chi T$) that shows the following main features~: \vspace*{0.2cm} \\
1) The construction of the operators in the Lagrangian is guided by chiral symmetry for the pseudoGoldstone
mesons and by unitary symmetry for the resonances. The general structure of these couplings is~:
\begin{equation} \label{eq:structure}
{\cal O} \, = \, \langle \, R_1 R_2 ...R_m \, \chi(p^n)  \, \rangle \, \; \; \; \in \; \; \; \,
{\cal L}_{(n)}^{\overbrace{\scriptstyle RR...R}^{m}} \; ,
\end{equation}
where  $R_j$ indicates a resonance field and $\chi (p^n)$ is a chiral structured tensor, involving the pseudoGoldstone
mesons and auxiliary fields only. Then, the usual chiral counting in $\chi PT$ \cite{Weinberg:1978kz} represented by the
power of momenta can straightforwardly be applied to $\chi (p^n)$. With these settings chiral symmetry is preserved
upon integration of the resonance fields and, at the same time, the low--energy behaviour of the amplitudes is
guaranteed.
\vspace*{0.1cm} \\
2) Symmetries do not provide information on the coupling constants as these incorporate short-distance
dynamics not included explicitly in the Lagrangian. The latter
is supposed to bridge between the energy region below resonances ($E \ll M_V$) and the parton
regime ($E \gg M_V$). This hypothesis indicates that it should match both regions and it satisfies,
by construction, the chiral constraints. To suit the high-energy behaviour one can match, for instance,
the OPE of Green functions (that are order parameters of chiral symmetry) with the corresponding expressions evaluated
within our theory. In addition the asymptotic trend of form factors of QCD currents is estimated  from the
spectral structure of two-point functions or the partonic make-up and it is enforced on the couplings.
This heuristic strategy is well supported by the
phenomenology \cite{Peris:1998nj,Cirigliano:2006hb,Knecht:2001xc,Cirigliano:2004ue,Cirigliano:2005xn}.
\vspace*{0.2cm}
\par
With this pattern the content of the theory is, schematically, given by~:
\begin{equation}
{\cal L}_{R \chi T} \, = \, {\cal L}_2^{\chi PT} \, + \, \sum_n \, {\cal L}_{n>2}^{GB} \, + {\cal L}_R \; ,
\end{equation}
where ${\cal L}_{n>2}^{GB}$ has the same structure than ${\cal L}_4^{\chi PT}$, ${\cal L}_6^{\chi PT}$, ...
in Eq.~(\ref{eq:chpt})
though with different coupling constants, and ${\cal L}_R$ involves terms with resonances and their couplings
to pseudoGoldstone modes.
\par
$R \chi T$ lacks an expansion parameter. There is of course the guide provided by $1/N_C$ that translates into the
loop expansion, however there is no counting that limits the number of operators with resonances that have to be
included in the initial Lagrangian. However the number of resonance fields to be kept relies fundamentally in the physical
system that we are interested in and the maximum order of the chiral tensor $\chi (p^n)$
in Eq.~({\ref{eq:structure}) is very much constrained by the required high--energy behaviour.
\par
As commented above large-$N_C$ requires, already at $N_C \rightarrow \infty$, an infinite spectrum in order to match
the leading QCD logarithms, though we do not know how to implement this in a model-independent way. The usual approach
in $R \chi T$ is to include the lightest resonances because their phenomenological relevance, though there is no
conceptual problem that prevents the addition of a finite number of multiplets. This cut in the spectrum  may produce
inconsistencies in the matching procedure outlined above \cite{Bijnens:2003rc}. To deal with this one can include
more states that may delay the appearance of that problem.

\section{Resonance contributions to the ${\cal O}(p^6)$ LECs}
In Ref.~\cite{Cirigliano:2006hb} we have constructed the $R \chi T$ Lagrangian needed to evaluate the resonance
contributions to the ${\cal O}(p^6)$ LECs in Eq.~(\ref{eq:chpt}). It has the following structure~:
\begin{equation} \label{eq:rcht}
{\cal L}_{R\chi T} \, = \, {\cal L}_2^{\chi PT}  +  {\cal L}_4^{GB}  +  {\cal L}_6^{GB}  +
{\cal L}_{\mathrm{kin}}^R    + {\cal L}_{(2)}^R  +  {\cal L}_{(4)}^R  +  {\cal L}_{(2)}^{RR}  +
  {\cal L}_{(0)}^{RRR}  +
{\cal L}_{\varepsilon} \; .
\end{equation}
The inclusion of spin-1 resonances has been performed within the antisymmetric tensor formalism. However there are
independent contributions to the ${\cal O}(p^6)$ LECs coming from odd-intrinsic-parity couplings involving spin-1
resonances in the Proca formalism. These are included in ${\cal L}_{\varepsilon}$. In the above representation
it can be shown \cite{Ecker:1989yg} that, at  ${\cal O}(p^4)$, all local terms in ${\cal L}_4^{GB}$ have to vanish
in order not to upset the asymptotic behaviour of QCD correlators. A corresponding result at ${\cal O}(p^6)$ is still
lacking but we have also assumed that all the couplings in ${\cal L}_6^{GB}$ are set to zero.
\par
${\cal L}_{R \chi T}$ in Eq.~(\ref{eq:rcht}) involves 6 a priori unknown couplings in ${\cal L}_{(2)}^R$, 70 in
${\cal L}_{(4)}^R,$ 38 in ${\cal L}_{(2)}^{RR}$, 7 in ${\cal L}_{(0)}^{RRR}$ and 3 in ${\cal L}_{\varepsilon}$. Some
additional work provides an enormous simplification~: \vspace*{0.2cm} \\
i) Upon integration of resonances not all couplings appear independently in the LECs. In general only several
combination of couplings intervene and to take into account this case one can perform suitable redefinitions of
the fields. This procedure
spoils in general the high-energy behaviour of the theory but it is correct for the evaluation of the LECs. Indeed
the 70 couplings in ${\cal L}_{(4)}^R$ reduce to 23. \vspace*{0.1cm} \\
ii)
The next step is to enforce additional short-distance information, i.e. the leading behaviour at large momenta, for
two and three-point functions and form factors. This procedure, set in Ref.~\cite{Ecker:1989yg}, relies in well-known
features of partonic scattering or asymptotic QCD \cite{Froissart:1961ux}.
Two-current correlators and associated form-factors provide 19 new constraints on couplings, while the three-point
Green functions studied till now~: $\langle VAP \rangle$ \cite{Cirigliano:2004ue} and $\langle SPP \rangle$
\cite{Cirigliano:2006hb,Cirigliano:2005xn}, give 6 and 5 independent restrictions, respectively.
\vspace*{0.2cm} \\
\hspace*{0.5cm} Hence we can already determine
fully the resonance contribution to the ${\cal O}(p^6)$ couplings $C_{78}$ and $C_{89}$ (that appear in $\pi \rightarrow
\ell \nu_{\ell} \gamma$ and $\pi \rightarrow \ell \nu_{\ell} \gamma^*$, respectively), $C_{87}$ (in
$\langle A_{\mu}  A_{\nu} \rangle$), $C_{88}$ and $C_{90}$ (in $F_V^{\pi}(q^2)$ and the $q^2$ dependence of the
form factors in $K_{\ell 3}$), $C_{38}$ (in
$\langle SS \rangle$) and $C_{12}$ and $C_{34}$ (in $F_V^{\pi,K}(q^2)$ and $f_+^{K^0 \pi^-}(0)$).
\par
It is significant to observe that, as shown in the analysis of the $\langle SPP \rangle$ Green function, the use of
a Lagrangian theory like $R \chi T$ though involved \cite{Cirigliano:2006hb} brings more information (encoded
in the symmetries of the Lagrangian) than the use of a parametric ansatz \cite{Cirigliano:2005xn}.

\section{$K_{\ell 3}$ decays~: determination of $f_+^{K^0 \pi^-}(0)$}
$K_{\ell 3}$ decays have the potential to provide one of the most accurate determinations of the $V_{us}$ CKM
element.  The main uncertainty in extracting this parameter comes from theoretical calculations of the
vector form factor $f_{+}^{K^0 \pi^-}(0)$  defined by~:
\begin{equation}
\langle \, \pi^-(p) \, | \,  \overline{s} \gamma_{\mu} u \, | \, K^0(q) \, \rangle \, = \, f_{+}^{K^0 \pi^-}(t) \,
 (q+p)_{\mu} \, + \,
f_{-}^{K^0 \pi^-}(t) \,  (q-p)_{\mu} \, ,
\end{equation}
with $t=(q-p)^2$. Deviations of $f_{+}^{K^0 \pi^-}(0)$ from unity (the octet symmetry limit) are of second order
in the $SU(3)$ breaking~:
\begin{equation}
 f_{+}^{K^0 \pi^-}(0) \, = \, 1 \, + \, f_{p^4} \, + \, f_{p^6} \, + ...
\end{equation}
The first correction is ${\cal O}(p^4)$ in $\chi PT$, through one loop calculation and no local terms,
and it gives $f_{p^4} = -0.0227$, essentially without uncertainty \cite{Leutwyler:1984je}. At ${\cal O}(p^6)$
two-loop, one-loop and local terms contribute and the latter make the determination more uncertain. Loops give
$f_{p^6}^{\mathrm{loops}}(M_{\rho}) = 0.0093(5)$~\cite{Cirigliano:2005xn,Bijnens:2003uy}. The explicit form for
the tree-level contribution is~:
\begin{equation} \label{eq:tree}
f_{p^6}^{\mathrm{tree}}(M_{\rho}) \, = \, 8 \frac{\left( M_K^2 - M_{\pi}^2 \right)^2}{F_{\pi}^2} \,
\left[ \, \frac{\left( L_5^r(M_{\rho}^2) \right)^2}{F_{\pi}^2} - C_{12}^r(M_{\rho}^2) - C_{34}^r(M_{\rho}^2) \,
\right] \; ,
\end{equation}
that involves LECs of $\chi PT$ both at ${\cal O}(p^4)$ and ${\cal O}(p^6)$.
In Ref.~\cite{Cirigliano:2005xn}, and using the method outlined in these proceedings, we have determined the
contribution of scalar and pseudoscalar resonances to the LECs present in Eq.~(\ref{eq:tree}), and we get~:
\begin{equation}
f_{p^6}^{\mathrm{tree}}(M_{\rho}) \, = \, - \frac{\left( M_K^2 - M_{\pi}^2 \right)^2}{2 M_S^4} \left( 1-
\frac{M_S^2}{M_P^2} \right)^2\; .
\end{equation}

As can be seen in Figure~1, it produces a tiny result~: $f_{p^6}^{\mathrm{tree}}(M_{\rho}) = -0.002(12)$ due to a strong
cancellation between both terms. We end up with the
final result~:
\begin{equation}
f_{+}^{K^0 \pi^-}(0) \, = \, 0.984(12) \; .

In Table~1 we compare our result with other determinations coming from different sources.
This comparison shows a clear pattern~: both quenched and unquenched lattice results are in very good agreement with
the quark model prediction by Leutwyler and Roos \cite{Leutwyler:1984je}, while our analytic determination of
$f_{+}^{K^0 \pi^-}(0)$ shows a clear tension. It is also
interesting to notice the tiny modification that unquenching produces in the lattice results though, as shown in
Ref.~\cite{Bijnens:2003uy}, chiral logarithms are very much important in the determination of $f_{+}^{K^0 \pi^-}(0)$.
A better understanding is still required on this issue.

\section{Perspective}
The study of the resonance energy region is essential
for the understanding of hadron phenomenology driven by non-perturbative QCD~: hadronic tau decays, final-state

$R \chi T$ is a systematic setting that allows to implement known features of QCD into a Lagrangian framework. We have
shown that it provides sensible results but much more work is still needed to reach a better understanding both on the
phenomenology and on the underlying ideas that joint together in this formulation.

What's in Your Business's Digital Disaster Kit?
A wave of destructive hurricanes that struck the mainland U.S. and Puerto Rico revealed just how critical communication is during a natural disaster. When electricity and cellular networks go down, there's one place you might still be able to turn for key –information your smartphone.
Thanks to innovations in smartphone applications and communication technology, the phone was a lifeline for many during the most recent catastrophes. Smartphone applications can cache key material for offline use, while other apps can keep you connected even during a network outage.
According to Jonathan McNamara, communications director of the American Red Cross, there are many apps that you ought to have on your phone in advance of any emergency. Many have played a critical role in recent disasters.
The American Red Cross apps are a key resource that individuals should be sure they have on their devices in advance of a disaster (remember, the loss of cellular connectivity can occur). There are many specialized applications for different situations, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and wildfire. You can get these and more for iPhone or Android.
The use of technology has also transformed the way the Red Cross operates.
"To say technology has become integral to everything we do is an understatement," McNamara said. "Not only in terms of our public efforts, but we also have a number of great safety apps that people have used when storms hit. They give information about where our vehicles are, where our shelters are, and it's because connectivity is built into everything we do with our operations."
Another app that was helpful during Irene, Harvey and Maria was FireChat (iPhone and Android). It relies on a peer-to-peer messaging network between devices. As more people use it, that widens the net of those who can connect. It's also worth using a service to track loved ones' locations, such as Apple's Find My Friends or Google's Trusted Contacts.
Plan on keeping additional batteries and charging kits around. They are part of what McNamara says the Red Cross recommends as a digital disaster kit.
"An extra cell phone charger, extra battery so you can share phones and smart devices, a power strip, and other essentials can be critical. Outlets become a premium in disasters," he said.
Also recommended is a flash drive with important documents, contact information, details about family doctors and other essential contacts.
Finally, here are some of the recommended resources to ensure that you're ready for when disaster strikes.
FEMA app: The Federal Emergency Management Agency offers weather alerts and a list of local shelters in an emergency. You can also upload photos and share disaster information directly with responders.
Safe and Well: This is a website run by the American Red Cross that allows individuals to check in as "safe" in an emergency. It's used for both natural and human-caused emergencies, and can allay the fears of loved ones.
Weather apps: McNamara recommended that those in the path of a disaster have a reliable weather application on their phone to monitor conditions. Services such as The Weather Channel, Weather Underground and AccuWeather do a good job of keeping you informed of current and upcoming conditions.

The Victorinox INOX Mechanical is probably the most anticipated model to be introduced by Victorinox in Baselworld 2018 and it is now here! When Victorinox Swiss Army introduced the robust I.N.O.X watch collection in 2014, it was launched in quartz as they have to pass through 130 challenging tests, and boy, do they survive all of them.
For three consecutive years, these watches have come out in many variations, like the carbon and titanium selections. However, only until now, Victorinox brought some mechanical movements into this line.
The new INOX Mechanical Black is the first to have an ETA 2824-2 automatic movement in the collection. The watch keeps the now iconic I.N.O.X case style, measuring at 43mm wide and 13.5mm thick like on the quartz models, with a 200m water resistant achievable through the screw-down crown. While it stays true to the Inox collection, the case is not without some minor improvements. The bezel now has a clear DLC coating to make it more scratch resistant and the new case back also has a display back to show its movement working.
The Victorinox INOX Mechanical is powered by ETA's automatic caliber, ETA2824-2, operating at 28,800 BPH (4 Hertzs) with hacking and hand winding capabilities. It has 25 jewels with a power reserve of 40 hours.
It bears not just a double, but a triple AR-coated sapphire crystal over the dial, increasing the readability. Another unique feature goes to the dial, and kudos for Victorinox to spice things up a little, by having a tapisserie dial (hobnail texture) meant to mimic the handle of a Swiss officer's knife. Giving the watch a more up-market feel by creating a certain depth to the dial, along with the applied markers and Victorinox shield logo at 12. We admire the attention to details Victorinox has give to the new Inox mechanical. Good amount of SuperLuminova C1 is applied to the index for superb glow in the dark action.
Another distinctive feature definitely have to be the new wood strap the Victorinox INOX Mechanical comes with. And for those who think it is just another "embossed" leather strap, then you are wrong. The innovative and ecological wooden strap is obtained from linden tree, featuring hobnail pattern, that is crafted onto a leather lining for maximum comfort. This creates a genuine and unique combination with the INOX Mechanical, while matching the hobnail pattern seamlessly with the tapisserie dial. It even comes with a Victorinox signed deployant clasp.
Overall, the Victorinox I.N.O.X Mechanical is the much awaited model for the collection. Surely it being a mechanical watch, will not be able to withstand the impact from throwing itself out the window of a 20 storey building like its quartz brothers. But we believe Victorinox takes pride in their I.N.O.X. watches being ultra reliable under all conditions, and that's a claim they can stand behind. While keeping the sleek and robust design from the original I.N.O.X, this new mechanical is one that will attract enthusiasts who want a genuine Swiss made watch with a Swiss automatic movement with a rich history of utilitarian and reliability all for under US$800.
Crown: Screwdown crown at 3 O'clock. Victorinox signed.
Crystal: Sapphire crystal. Scratch-resistant, triple-coated anti-reflective sapphire crystal.
Strap: Wood strap with leather lining. Deployant clasp.

With the economy in dire straits, the music business in disarray and the studio industry eroded by high-quality home recording, who would possibly want to build two state-of-the-art recording/mixing studios?
So, why build when the rest of the industry is retrenching?
Among the improvements the XL offers over the J are full 5.1 channel mix bus, master fader, mix compressor, monitoring and metering; a 6-channel monitor insert, plus support for three external 6-channel sources; LFE filtering for Dolby and DTS encoding; a new surround panning system called Ultipan; an automation computer similar in function to that of the J, but 100x faster; a remote mic preamp system; and a signal path optimized for ultra-high-resolution digital audio.
Besides the XLs, each of the new rooms — which were designed by Dave Bell from UK-based White Mark Ltd., in conjunction with Germano — offers a 48-channel Pro Tools MIXplus system (with a roving HD rig in-house, as well), a Sony 3348 HR, two Studer A-827s and a rack of state-of-the-art processing gear tailored for surround mixing. For instance, instead of merely a pair of GML EQs, the Hit Factory provides three stereo units in each room, allowing engineers to process up to six channels for surround mixing. Other outboard gear includes Sony 777 Sampling Reverbs, Avalon 737s and 2055s, Lexicon 960Ls, and Empirical Labs Distressors and Fatsos. Additionally, each room is outfitted with five soffit-mounted, custom speakers designed by George Augspurger.
With the addition of the two new studios, Hit Factory now operates seven recording/mixing studios in New York and six in Miami, for a total of 13 rooms. Six of the seven New York rooms feature SSL analog boards: the two new XLs and four J Series boards. In addition, the all-digital Studio 5 houses a Euphonix System 5 24-bit, 96kHz console. Also in New York, the Hit Factory runs four mastering suites.
Surround-wise, every room at the Hit Factory can be easily configured for a multichannel mix, but the two new studios are purpose-built for 5.1 work, with large monitors, the XL board (which offers a wealth of surround panning options) and appropriate processing gear. Similarly, the Miami facility also has two rooms with wall-mounted surround speakers.
In New York, Studios 6 and 7 have seen plenty of activity, even before officially opening. In Studio 7 — a mix room with a vocal booth — the first eight weeks of the room's active life were spent mostly working on multichannel and stereo remixes of archival Elvis Presley tracks for a large-scale reissue compilation. Studio 6, which adjoins a large tracking area with additional iso booths, hosted a test tracking session by jazz artist Charlie Drayton, recorded by Bolas and Thrall direct to Pro Tools. Since completing the Drayton project, the studio added the Super Remote mic preamp option on the XL console, the first such installation in the U.S.
Germano admits that the recording studio business is tougher than ever, with workstation-based home recording taking a large bite out of the pie, and labels with shrinking budgets lobbying commercial studios for lower rates. "People want to make records cheaper and cheaper, and you have to try to accommodate all those artists, because they could become the next John Lennon or Bruce Springsteen or Puffy," says Germano.

Tina Fey and Ellie Kemper on THE UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT: Season 2
Posted by Joseph McCabe on August 2, 2015
Netflix's The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is one of the very few sitcoms to debut this year that was an immediate critical and fan favorite. Created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock and co-starring their 30 Rock alum Jane Krakowski, along with Ellie Kemper in the title role of a cult survivor who moves to New York and Tituss Burgess as her struggling actor roommate, Kimmy is as defiantly upbeat as its heroine, while maintaining an observant comical eye on twenty-first century city life. All three stars, as well as Fey and Carlock, appeared at last week's annual Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour in Los Angeles for a look back at the show's debut season and to get us eager for the upcoming Season 2, due out next spring.
On the increased freedom that Netflix will offer the show's second season (since Season 1 was designed for NBC)…
Tina Fey: Yeah. I think the tone of the show does feel set. We've had so many people say to us, "Oh, I watch it with my 12-year-old" or "My 13-year-old and I love the show." And I would hate to ruin that in Season 2. So I think, tonally, yeah, I don't think you'll hear profanity or see nudity, but I think that gives us a license to play with time and structure and also not to worry about potentially offending an advertiser or the NFL or some of the other restrictions of broadcast.
Robert Carlock: So, Jane, no nudity for the last time.
TF: For the last time. Today, yes.
On when production starts on Season 2…
TF: We are writing, and we have our first table read August 6th.
And, then, we start shooting August 17th.
On whether the show was designed for Ellie's personality…
TF: Robert and I developed with Ellie in mind. So Ellie did come first before the idea.
Ellie Kemper: And I hope that this show plays on my strengths. I think I am upbeat and tend to have an optimistic outlook, but I think that this character is very inspiring to play. She has a resilience and a fierceness to her that I hope, personally, I might aspire to have. But, yeah, I think it's not too far a jump for me to play her.
TF: We had been working with NBC Studios to develop a new show after 30 Rock ended, and they, sort of, said, "Is Ellie Kemper a person you would be interested in developing for?" And she was the first person that we said, "Oh, yes."
On how the song "Peeno Noir" came about…
RC: Obviously, we knew we wanted Tituss to sing. At one point, I looked at Tituss about seven episodes in and said, "Have you sung in every single episode?" So it's hard to keep ourselves from having him sing. It's so fun. We had that idea [that] he should try to promote himself online, make a video on the cheap. And there was a writer named Sam Means who came up with the deft turn of phrase that is "Peeno Noir." It works on two levels.
TF: Two levels at most.
RC: And, then, you need Tituss to pull that off.
Tituss Burgess: And do you know what's funny? I don't actually get asked to sing it as much as people ask to sing it for me. So I just, sort of, get randomly sung at on the streets. So it's pretty lovely.
TF: Have you gotten free bottles of Pinot noir?
TB: I have, so I have been drunk since the show aired.
[Laughs.]
On Season 2's arc…
RC: One of the fun challenges of doing the show is not letting Kimmy stop being Kimmy, that she has to keep that strength and optimism and also the fun of that naivety, and I think those things communicate with each other. So Season 2 is about her continuing to open up to the world and recognize moral relativism.
TF: Yeah, relativism. Yeah, that the world is not black and white.
RC: It's a new idea for her.
TF: And realizing that, just because we ended Season 1 with a trial, she would love to believe that that's entirely put behind her now. But, you know, new obstacles may present themselves before she can go on and live a fully realized life. She had lost her boyfriend, and she is, kind of, grappling with that. And, hopefully, Ki Hong will be back. Dong is not entirely out of her life.
EK: Good.
TF: Right. She's, sort of, in a big hurry to get everything she wanted out of the missing years of her life and hitting some speed bumps along the way.
On whether the show's running time could be extended or if it will remain a twenty-one-minute sitcom…
TF: Well, I don't know if we will go past thirty, but [Netflix] would definitely encourage us to go past 21.15, which was the current network running time. I think that it will be very enjoyable for us. We'll have to be our own guides here and not just let things get fast or slow. But we used to spend the last two days of every edit of every episode carving and carving to get down to that random number, which will be a wonderful burden to be relieved of.
RC: Yeah. And I think at the end of that first season, when we went back and put things back in we averaged a little over twenty-three.
On how closely the cast and Tina relate to Kimmy…
TB: Sure. I'm kind of the new kid on the block here. I actually had started accepting offers to teach at universities. I was on staff at Marymount Manhattan College, about to teach voice, and my manager called and said, "I think you should quit, let's give this another go-round." Things were very slow, just to speak very candidly. I can do lots of different things, but you have to put me in and then let me do it versus the inverse. So to have the great pleasure of waiting it out, I think my unbreakableness is about resilience and patience.
EK: Yeah. If you choose this kind of career, you have to be able to stand up to rejection and keep on going. I mean, I'm acting like it's the hardest job in the world. It's not the hardest job in the world, but you have to keep on going. I didn't accept any jobs to teach because no one would want me to. But I think it's a matter of continuing to keep on going like any human has to do.
TF: I have problems with my hip. I came out here today. I wore two different shoes by accident. I didn't let that stop me from coming out here.
[Laughs.] The closest thing I can think of [is] that we didn't give up on this idea. We believed in this idea, and we did have to shepherd it through a few groups of people who were very reasonably nervous about it. So, yeah, let's count that.
Jane Krakowski: Wow. I do think what everyone has already stated. My hip hurts as well. [Laughs.] But, also, there were two years between 30 Rock and Kimmy that I had to endure working with other people. I thank you so much for having me back, and I am thrilled to say that this is our ninth season of television together.
On any people who might continue to say, "Women still can't be funny and attractive at the same time"…
TF: I don't know. I really feel like we are done. Like, look at these two. Look at these two Barbie dolls.
TB: Thank you, Tina.
[Laughs.]
On what was learned about the show over the course of the first season that will be applied to season 2…
TF: From the original draft of the pilot to the final version of the pilot, we realized that the show was sunnier and was meant to be much brighter in tone than we thought. We were trying to figure out the line of like, "Okay, well, we want to be respectful to the weight of this premise." But then it became clear that it was okay, we could tell the story and still not have to flashback to too many super-depressing things.
On taking down The Big Bang Theory in Emmy nominations…
TF: That was specifically us without any of the other nominees. If you are going for a nerd vote, we are the nerd vote.

Dalai Lama has a message for you: Find inner peace, pay attention to ancient learnings
The spiritual leader highlighted the importance of achieving innate relaxation and advised students to learn to control and tone their mind towards positivity and calmness
He called modern education imperative to external, but primitive to inner functioning | AFP
Youngistaan needs to focus and imbibe the country's ancient ways of learning to pave the way for the future, Tibetan Spiritual Leader The Dalai Lama told students of Mumbai's Somaiya school on Friday. He also emphasised the need for students to control and calm their minds towards positive reflection.
"You are the younger generation, you are the future of India. Please pay more attention to ancient Indian knowledge. External things - modern science, modern education (is) wonderful, very useful. But as far as the inner world is concerned, modern education, modern knowledge I think still is very primitive. India's future can do a lot of contribution, regarding promotion of knowledge of inner world and with that, inner peace," he said.
Hear Hear: His talk also had a few anecdotes from his life
He added that his life had not been devoid of struggles and the only way to overcome such difficulties was to strengthen the mind. "My whole life has been quite difficult. Lot of problems, but I realised training of our mind is very helpful. It helps in keeping things clear and achieve peace of mind. Peace of mind is very important, even for physical health," he added.
The Dalai Lama further said the country's rich knowledge of truth and philosophy was distinct from that of the world. "You are the younger generation of this great nation. Why I used great nation? Ofcourse it's a democratic country and economy, but when I say great nation I mean it over 3,000 years...
"While the rest of the world still remained dark, ignorant, this country over 3,000 years was trying to find out the reality, deeper meanings of truth," he calmly says, before signing off.

PT Energi Mega Persada Tbk (ENRG) still reported Rp150.43 billion loss until the end of Q3/2010, yet, the amount of loss significantly reduced by 56.76% compared to the same period last year, amounting Rp347.92 billion.
During an information disclosure today, the loss was mainly prompted by the high cost of the goods sold and interest expense.
Out of Rp830.55 billion revenue, the cost of goods sold reached Rp658.76 billion while the interest rate amounted Rp233.31 billion.
Energi Mega booked 20.70% revenue drop compared to the same period last year at Rp1.04 trillion.
CEO Energi Mega, Imam P. Agustino said that such revenue drop was caused by the lower production of oil and gas in 2010 compared to last year.
"We faced significant challenges in our production unit since the company lessens its drilling activities compared to the prior year. However, we are still able to book higher margin. Besides, the higher crude oil price also resulted in 21% gross loss margin," he said.
On its liabilities, the company's debt declined from Rp8.36 trillion in the end of September 2009 to Rp5.24 trillion.
Based on Bisnis's database, Energy Mega's settled some its debt by the proceed derived from the rights issue early this year, resulting in the reduction of its debt.


Each year the International Herb Association names an "Herb of the Year" and many of us in the field begin a year-long process of knowing a plant more deeply than we did before.
This year, the herb of the year is cayenne. It is a plant that, on the surface, many of us believe we already know.
The truth is that there are many interesting facts about this plant that I did not know.
The more I read, the more I gathered and thought today I would share some of my favorite gems.
Cayenne is a digestive stimulant, a cardiovascular tonic, and a first aid application for bleeding.
The fruit is high in iron and vitamins A, C, E, K, and several members of the B Complex.
Botanically speaking, the pepper is a berry, not a vegetable.
On the Scoville scale cayenne comes in at 30,000-50,000 units.
The Scoville unit was named for the American chemist who created it. William Scoville developed a way to quantify the heat in a pepper in 1912 by testing for the level of capsaicin.
The scale runs from 0-1,000,000.
The ghost pepper is currently the highest at 1,000,000 and the Bell pepper comes in at 0.
Some sources suggest Christopher Columbus gave us the name cayenne, naming it after the city of Cayenne in French Guiana.
Regardless of whether or not this is true, Columbus did indeed bring back a Capsicum annuum specimen and seeds during his travels.
The fruit is most often used dried, ground, or pulped and baked into cakes that are stored until use, when they are ground and powdered.
If you are making crop rotation plans for your garden, it is important to take into account that tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potato, tobacco, and eggplant are family members.
Cayenne are usually harvested at the red stage – though there are some recipes that call for green.
In the fall, you can pull up the whole plant and hang it upside down to preserve your harvest.
The fruit should not be washed until you're ready to use.
Peppers can go into the freezer whole or sliced without blanching. They still have some of their crispness when they come out and almost all of their flavor.
The Capsicum genus is believed to have been domesticated almost 6100 years ago and to have originated in Mesoamerica.
Over 3000 varieties (and counting) of pepper are in the Capsicum genus. These plants cross-pollinate easily and therefore we see more local varieties being created around the world all the time.
You will also find that the same species name covers paprika, chili pepper, chiltepin, Christmas pepper, jalapeños, and bell pepper.
Cayenne is sometimes specifically classified as Capsicum annuum var. aviculare.
Black, white, and green pepper, often called peppercorns, are not related and are in a different genus called Piper and the family, Piperaceae.
It is believed that birds are the chief distributors of Capsicum. They cannot taste the heat and happily eat the "berries" with the seeds intact.
When these seeds pass through the bird's digestion they are deposited in a new place with enough nitrogen-rich fertilizer to get started.
Are you growing any of the Capsicuum family members in your garden this year?


Transformational Abstracts begin their life as an image from the natural world, then grow into their eventual shape through a series of transformations. Perhaps an analogy to the ways we become what we are.
Something interesting happened yesterday evening while I was sharing this project with a group of photography friend. The presentation slipped into slide show mode and there was silence through 3 or 4 repeats of the show. It seemed to have a calming effect.
