Rubio Warns of Beijing's Growing Influence, Urges Florida Schools to Terminate Confucius Institute Agreements
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today urged Miami Dade College, the University of North Florida, the University of South Florida, the University of West Florida, and Cypress Bay High School to terminate their agreements with Chinese government-run programs known as Confucius Institutes. In a letter sent to each Florida school, along with its board of trustees, Rubio warned of China's growing foreign influence operations in the United States.
The full text of the letters is below:
Dear X:
I write with regards to growing foreign influence operations of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the United States, particularly in our academic institutions. There is mounting concern about the Chinese government's increasingly aggressive attempts to use "Confucius Institutes" and other means to influence foreign academic institutions and critical analysis of China's past history and present policies. Additionally, the PRC continues its efforts to interfere in multilateral institutions, threaten and intimidate rights defenders and their families, and impose censorship mechanisms on foreign publishers and social media companies. For reasons outlined below, I respectfully urge you to consider terminating your Confucius Institute agreement.
Confucius Institutes are Chinese government-run programs that use the teaching of Chinese language and culture as a tool to expand the political influence of the PRC. In November 2011, Li Changchun, a former member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo, the highest body of the Chinese Communist Party, stated in a speech at the Beijing Headquarters of the Confucius Institute:
"The Confucius Institute is an appealing brand for extending our culture abroad. It has made an important contribution toward improving our soft power. The 'Confucius' brand has a natural attractiveness. Using the excuse of teaching Chinese language, everything looks reasonable and logical."
There are presently more than 100 Confucius Institutes, in addition to Confucius Classrooms at the K-12 level in the United States, including several in the state of Florida. These institutes are overseen by a branch of the Chinese Ministry of Education, and are instructed to only teach versions of Chinese history, culture or current events that are explicitly approved by the Chinese Government and Communist Party. As the American Association of University Professors noted in a June 2014 report:
"Confucius Institutes function as an arm of the Chinese state and are allowed to ignore academic freedom. Their academic activities are under the supervision of Hanban, a Chinese state agency which is chaired by a member of the Politburo and the vice-premier of the People's Republic of China. Most agreements establishing Confucius Institutes feature nondisclosure clauses and unacceptable concessions to the political aims and practices of the government of China. Specifically, North American universities permit Confucius Institutes to advance a state agenda in the recruitment and control of academic staff, in the choice of curriculum, and in the restriction of debate."[1]
Moreover, Confucius Institute instructors are almost always hired in China and trained by the Chinese Ministry of Education without any of the same employment and hiring protections that exist in the United States. Much more difficult to measure but no less insidious, however, is the self-censorship that often takes place in academic settings where there is a Chinese government presence in the form of a Confucius Institute. University of Chicago professor Marshall Sahlins has called Confucius Institutes "academic malware" because they represent and reflect decidedly illiberal views of education and academic freedom. We know from multiple reports that topics, such as the status of Tibet and Taiwan, the fourth of June 1989 at Tiananmen Square, Falun Gong, and universal human rights, are off-limits at these institutes.
In a 2017 report titled, "Outsourced to China: Confucius Institutes and Soft Power in American Higher Education," the National Association of Scholars found that "to a large extent, universities have made improper concessions that jeopardize academic freedom and institutional autonomy. Sometimes these concessions are official and in writing; more often they operate as implicit policies."[2] In turn, a growing number of universities have already cut ties with Confucius Institutes:
In 2014, the University of Chicago suspended negotiations to renew its agreement to host a Confucius Institute following a petition signed by more than 100 faculty members raising concerns.
Days later, Pennsylvania State University cut ties with its Confucius Institute, noting: "Several of our goals are not consistent with those of the Office of Chinese Languages Council International, known as the Hanban, which provides support to Confucius Institutes throughout the world." [3]
Ontario's McMaster University shuttered its Confucius Institute in 2013 after a former instructor alleged that the university was "giving legitimization to discrimination" because her contract with Hanban prohibited her participation in Falun Gong.[4]
Indeed, as Politico reported in "How China Infiltrated U.S. Classrooms" (January 16, 2018): "The American Association of University Professors, America's leading professorial guild, also recommended in 2014 that 'universities cease their involvement in Confucius Institutes unless the agreement between the university and Hanban is renegotiated,' so that the universities have unilateral control over the curriculum and faculty, Confucius faculty have the same rights of free inquiry as their fellow teachers, and contracts between Hanban and the partner universities are made public."
I remain deeply concerned by the proliferation of Confucius Institutes and Confucius Classrooms in the United States. Given China's aggressive campaign to "infiltrate" American classrooms, stifle free inquiry, and subvert free expression both at home and abroad, I respectfully urge you to consider terminating your Confucius Institute agreement. Should you have any questions or concerns please do hesitate to contact my office for further discussion.
Thank you for your time and attention to this important matter.

The Clever Wife
There was a man, he was called Friedel, and his young wife, she was called Kotti. Newly wedded they were, these two, and had just set up housekeeping on a farm of their own.
Said Friedel one day, "Now I'm off to the fields, Kotti. When I return I shall expect to find some meat on the table for my hunger, and a cool drink beside it for my thirst."
"But the meat is raw, Friedel!" said the young wife who had not yet learned to cook and who was none too bright besides.
"Raw it is, to be sure," said Friedel. "You must cook it."
"But how, Friedel?" asked Kotti.
"That's easy enough," said Friedel. "Just sprinkle it with salt and pepper, put it in a pan with some butter, then lay it in among the coal, and soon it will be roasted fine and brown. Now I'm off to my ploughing, Kotti-girl, and don't forget to do what I told you."
"Oh don't worry, Friedel," said his wife. "Just run along and leave it to me."
After he had gone, Kotti swept the kitchen and went out to gather a handful of flowers. As dinner-time drew near, she spread a clean cloth on the table, set the bouquet of flowers on it, and placed a jug of cool water beside Friedel's plate.
"And now I must roast our meat just as Friedel told me," said Kotti. After sprinkling the meat with salt and pepper, she put it in a pan with some butter and carried it out into the vegetable garden where grew many fine heads of cole, which, as you know, is a kind of cabbage. Carefully she placed the pan of meat on the ground in the midst of the cole plants and then stood looking at it.
"I really don't see how the meat can cook out here in the garden," she thought, "but Friedel told me to lay it in among the cole, and he must know."
With this she turned back to the house, but before she had gone very far she heard a noise in the garden, and look! there was their dog swallowing the meat in big greedy gulps.
"A bad business!" cried Kotti. "Now Friedel won't have anything to eat. But it's not my fault, that's certain—I did just as he said."
At noontime when Friedel returned from his work, he sat down at the table and said, "Now then, my little wife, what have you fixed up for my dinner?"
"Well," said Kotti. "Here is a jug of cool water for you to drink, and some pretty flowers to look at while you drink it."
"But where is the meat?" asked her husband. "Oh, Friedel," said Kotti. "I didn't have any luck with that. I took it out into the garden and laid it down among the cole just as you said; but before it even started to cook, the dog found it and ate it up before my eyes. But don't worry, Friedel, next time I'll do it better. I'll tie the dog up first and then everything will go as it should."
"Oh Kotti, Kotti!" cried Friedel. "You shouldn't have done it that way. You should have put the meat among the coal in the fireplace, not among the cole plants in the garden. Then it would have roasted fine and brown and the dog couldn't have stolen it."
"Yes, Friedel, that I didn't know," said Kotti. "You should have told me not to do those things."
At this Friedel shook his head and thought, "Well, well, if this is the way it will go with your young wife, you'll have to be more careful after this."
Now Friedel was a thrifty man and he had saved a tidy bagful of dollars. These he had exchanged for gold pieces, but since he saw that his new wife had but little sense in her head he thought it best to keep this a secret from her. So the next day before going off to the fields he took the bag of gold pieces and said, "Look, wife, do you see these yellow chips? I will put them in a crock which I'll bury under the cow's manger in the barn. But don't you dare go near it, or it will go ill with you!"
"Oh no, Friedel," said Kotti, "you can set your mind at rest about that. I surely won't go near the place, that I'll promise you."
"Good!" said Friedel and buried the crock of gold under the cow's manger.
After he had gone off to the fields, there came three pedlars who were loaded down with earthenware and crockery of all kinds.
"Look," they said to Kotti, "we have beautiful wares for sale or exchange. Bowls and pots and jugs—red, yellow, brown and green and blue. Don't you want to buy some?"
"Oh, you dear people!" cried Kotti. "I would gladly help you out but I have no money."
"That's too bad," said the pedlars. "You don't get such a bargain every day."
"Wait!" said Kotti, "I've just thought of something. If you would care to take some yellow chips in exchange, why then I could buy something from you."
"Yellow chips, why not?" said the pedlars. "Let's have a look at them."
"Just go into the barn," said Kotti, "and dig around under the cow's manger. There in a crock you'll find the yellow things. As for me, I'm not allowed to go near them."
The rascals went to the barn and dug around for a while. When they found the crock and saw it was full of pure gold, they ran off with it as fast as they could, leaving all their bowls and pots and jugs behind them.
"Oh, men!" called Kotti. "You forgot your wares." Then, seeing they paid no heed to her words, she shouted, "All right then, if you're so set on cheating yourselves! But don't say I didn't warn you."
She turned to the heap of crockery at her feet wondering what she should do with it, for her kitchen was so well stocked with dishes that she had no need for more. Still, these were so gay and pretty that she felt she ought to use them in some way, so she knocked out their bottoms and stuck them on the fence posts all around the house.
She stood and looked at her handiwork.
"What a nice trimming for our yard!" she cried. "Friedel will like that. How lucky it was that I thought of those old yellow chips in the barn!"
When Friedel came home and saw the strange sight he cried, "Wife, what have you been up to now? Where did you get all that crockery?"
"Bought it," said Kotti proudly. "With those old yellow chips you buried under the cow's manger. But don't worry, Friedel, I did just as you said, and never went near them myself—the pedlars had to dig them out for themselves."
"Oh Kotti, Kotti!" moaned Friedel. "What have you done? Those weren't really yellow chips in that crock. Gold it was, pure gold, and it's taken me years of hard work to save it."
"Yes, Friedel, that I didn't know," said Kotti. "You should have told me so before."
She stood and thought for a while, then she said, "Listen, Friedel, we can easily get the gold back. Let's run after the thieves."
"Come then," said Friedel. "We'll try it. But take some bread and butter and cheese with you so we'll have something to eat on the way."
"Yes, Friedel, I'll do that," said Kotti.
They hurried off and, because Friedel could walk faster, Kotti was soon left some distance behind. "It's to my advantage," she said. "When we turn around to go home I will already be a good ways ahead."
At length she came to a steep mountain road and when she reached the top she saw it was full of deep, rough ruts.
"Well, just look at that!" said Kotti to herself. "How they have torn and flayed and squeezed the poor earth. That will never heal up in all its life!" And out of pity for the road she took her pat of butter and greased the ruts right and left so the wheels wouldn't scrape and hurt them so much. As she bent down to do this kind deed, one of the cheeses fell out of her pocket and rolled down the steep mountain road.
"Well now!" cried Kotti as she watched it bounce out of sight. "I've climbed this hill once; I'm not going back down there to get that cheese. Let another one roll down and bring it back."
With this she took a second cheese out of her pocket and rolled it down the steep road. But the cheeses did not return, neither the first nor the second, so she sent down a third cheese to fetch the other two, thinking, "Maybe those two down there are waiting for some company and don't want to travel alone."
When all three cheeses stayed away she said, "What can it mean? Still, it may be that the last one lost its way and hasn't found the others. I guess I had better send down a fourth to call the third and bring back the first two."
But the fourth cheese did no better than the rest; at this Kotti became so angry that she threw down the fifth and the sixth also, and those were the last ones. For a while she stood there watching and waiting for the six runaway cheeses to return but as they didn't come and didn't come, she cried, "Oh, you're fine ones—you certainly take your time about things! Do you think I'll wait any longer for you? I'm going on my way; you can run after me, you've got younger legs than I have."
Kotti trotted on and soon caught up with Friedel who had stopped to wait for her because he was getting hungry.
"Well now, let's have some of that food you brought with you," he said.
She handed him the loaf of bread.
"But where is the butter and the cheese?" he asked.
"Oh Friedel," said Kotti, "the butter I used for greasing the poor torn-up ruts in the road, and the cheeses ought to be here any minute. One ran away from me and rolled down the hill, so I sent the others after it. You might try calling them; your voice is louder than mine."
"Oh wife!" cried Friedel. "You shouldn't have done such a thing—to smear our good butter on the ruts, and to roll all our cheeses down the hill, that wasn't right."
They ate the dry bread and then Friedel thought of something. "You were the last to leave the house, Kotti," he said. "Did you make the doors safe before you went?"
"No, Friedel, that I didn't. You should have told me."
"Well, go back and do it now, before we go any farther," said Friedel. "And bring back something else to eat. I'll wait for you here."
Kotti trotted back, thinking, "Friedel asked for something else to eat—I guess he doesn't like butter and cheese; so I'll bring something different this time: a kerchief full of dried pears for him to eat and a jug full of vinegar for him to drink."
When she reached their home, she carefully bolted the upper half of the door. The lower half she lifted off its hinges, loaded it on her back and set out once more. She was in no hurry, and took her time on the way, thinking, "The longer it takes me, the longer my Friedel can rest himself." When she reached him at last, she said, "Well, Friedel—here you have the house door. Now you can keep an eye on it yourself."
Friedel looked at her. "Ah me!" he groaned. "What a clever wife I have! Bolts the top half of the door and takes off the lower half, so anything and anybody can run into the house. Well, it's too late to go back once more, but since you've brought the door so far, you'll have to keep on carrying it."
"Yes, Friedel, I'll carry the door; but the dried pears and the vinegar jug are too heavy for me to carry. I'll load them on the door and let it carry something too."
"As you will," said her husband, and walked on.
Now they went into the forest and searched for the rascally pedlars but couldn't find them. At length as it was getting late, and too dark to find their way home, they climbed a big tree, planning to spend the night there.
Hardly were they settled high among the dense, big branches when who should come slinking through the woods but three men. They were the kind of fellows who take what doesn't want to come along, and who manage to find things before they are even lost. Yes, thieves—that's what they were, and the very ones who had run off with Friedel's gold. As luck would have it, they stopped under the same tree in which Friedel and Kotti were hiding; and after building a fire, the three rogues sat around it where, with much arguing and quarrelling, they began dividing their booty among them.
Friedel, hearing the clink of his hard-earned gold, was full of anger. He crawled down the farther side of the thick tree trunk and gathered stones, then climbed back up among the branches and began tossing the stones at the thieves, hoping to kill them or scare them away. But he missed his aim and the pedlars said calmly, "There must be a storm coming up; the wind is shaking down some pine cones."
In the meantime poor Kotti still had the door on her back. It was getting heavier and heavier all the time and she thought the kerchief full of dried pears must be the cause of it.
"Friedel!" she whispered, "I'll just have to throw down those pears."
"No, not now, Kotti," said her husband. "That would give us away—the thieves might guess that we're up here."
"But Friedel, I'll have to do it," said poor Kotti. "Those pears are getting heavier and heavier; I can't stand it any longer."
"Oh well, do it then!" said Friedel crossly.
Down went the dried pears, and as they dropped through the branches and fell to the ground the thieves said to one another, "The birds are nesting up there."
But even after the pears were gone, something still pressed heavily on Kotti's back, so a little later she said, "Friedel, I see it wasn't the pears, after all, that were so heavy. It must be the vinegar. I'll have to pour it out."
"No, Kotti-wife, that you can't do," said Friedel. "It would surely give us away."
"But Friedel," moaned Kotti, "I must. It's too heavy for me; I can't stand it any longer."
"Oh well then, if you must, you must!" grumbled Friedel.
As Kotti poured out the vinegar, it besprinkled the heads of the thieves below, but all they said was, "It must be almost morning; the dew is dripping already."
Up in the tree Kotti wriggled and squirmed under her heavy load, and at last she thought: "Something is still pressing on my back. I wonder, could it be the door?" Then she said, "Friedel, I'll have to throw down the door too."
"No, Kotti! Not now! That will give us away for certain. If those rascals find us here they'll surely kill us."
"But Friedel, I must—I can't stand it a minute more."
"No, Kotti, hold on to it a little longer."
"Oh Friedel, I can't! There it goes!"
"So be it then," moaned Friedel. "May Heaven protect us!"
Down went the door, and as it came crashing through the branches with a noise like thunder, the thieves below jumped to their feet, shrieking in terror.
"Howli-ow!" they cried. "The Evil One is coming down out of the tree. We're done for! Howli-ow! ow! ow!"
And so, not even daring to look behind them, they scurried away, leaving their booty scattered around on the ground.
As soon as the three rascals were out of sight, Friedel and Kotti scrambled down from their high perch and started gathering up their gold. Not a single coin was lost, and so the happy pair—Friedel with the full crock under his arm, and Kotti with the house door on her back once more—went back to their farm where, let us hope, they lived contentedly ever after.

Histologic:Chapter 1
From Pathology Education Instructional Resource
Revision as of 12:17, 8 July 2014 by Seung Park (Talk | contribs)
Histology is the study of the microscopic structure of biological material and the ways in which individual components are structurally and functionally related. It is central to medical science since it stands at the crossroads between biochemistry, molecular biology and physiology on the one side, and pathologic processes that cause disease on the other. Although often thought of as an archaic discipline, practical knowledge of histology is in actuality an integral part of modern investigative techniques and current medical practice
In this laboratory manual we will focus on the basic structure of human tissues. We will concentrate on structure-function correlations that are important in the understanding of disease processes. Thus, we will not attempt to provide a comprehensive review of all structures in the body; instead we will focus just on the structural relationships that are integral to disease.
Almost all of the tissues we will review are human tissues obtained at autopsy or from surgical biopsies. As a general rule all fresh tissues are fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin and are embedded in paraffin wax before cutting microscopic tissue sections. The embedding process requires dehydration of the tissues using organic solvents, permeation of the tissues with paraffin wax, and hardening of the wax for cutting. Tissue sections are then cut at 5 to 7 microns in thickness and placed on glass slides. The tissues are then rehydrated and stained. This dehydration-wax embedding - rehydration cycle results in dissolution of any lipid materials within the tissues. This may lead to alterations in the morphology of tissues. However, if you understand the process you can overlook these artifacts and still make accurate assessments of the tissue. One classic "artifact" is the loss of fat from liver tissue obtained from a patient with fatty liver. This leaves holes in the tissue where the fat globules had been situated before they were dissolved away. These and other classic artifacts will become second nature to you as you review tissue sections.
Overview of Tissue Preparation and Staining for Microscopy
Obtaining tissues - Human material is obtained at autopsy or from surgical biopsies.
Fixation - To preserve the tissue, it is placed immediately in a fixative which acts to preserve the cell and tissue constituents in as lifelike a manner as possible after death. In postmortem tissue, considerable autolysis may have occurred prior to fixation. Formalin (10%) is the fixative most often used by pathologists.
Dehydration - The fixed tissues must be dehydrated in order to embed them in paraffin for sectioning. Water is removed from the tissues by passing them through a series of increasingly concentrated solutions of alcohol.
Clearing - Absolute alcohol is not miscible with paraffin. Thus, the alcohol must be removed from the tissue and replaced with an agent that mixes with molten paraffin. The most commonly used clearing agent is xylene. The xylene makes the tissues translucent or "clears" them.
Embedding - Following clearing, the tissue is placed in the embedding agent, molten paraffin, and allowed to steep until the tissue is thoroughly infiltrated by the embedding medium. The preparation is then cooled, the paraffin solidifies, and the block of tissue can now be cut with a minimum of distortion. The paraffin infiltratesAn infiltrate is an accumulation of cells in the lung parenchyma--this is a sign of pneumonia. the interstices of the tissue and thus provides internal support as well as external support for sectioning.
Sectioning - The tissue is now cut into very thin slices, usually 5 to 7 microns, with a microtome. The sections are then mounted on glass slides and stained.
Staining - For morphologic study, it is necessary to create color contrasts in the tissues by staining. Certain terms are used to distinguish the staining reaction of a cell. The term basophilic indicates that the structure can be stained with the basic dye hematoxylin. All nuclei are basophilic. Cytoplasmic elements may be either basophilic, acidophilic or, neutral. Eosin is the most commonly used acid stain and any acid components that stain positive with eosin are termed eosinophilic.
Other stains used in preparing slides – Most slides for histology and pathology are stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). Additional staining techniques are utilized to demonstrate specific characteristics of tissues. In any staining process variations in the tissue and the technical procedure may lead to minor color modifications in individual slides, but, in general, the reactions are as stated below.
Masson's Trichrome stain (hematoxylin, acid fuchsin, and aniline blue): nuclei stain black or dark blue; cytoplasm stains red by the acid fuchsin; reticular and collagen fibers stain blue with aniline blue.
Gomori's Trichrome stain: Another version of a trichrome stain that stains nuclei - red-purple; normal muscle myofibrils - green-blue with distinct A and I bands; intermyofibrillar muscle membranes – red; and interstitial collagen - green
Periodic acid-Schiff's reagent (PAS). The PAS method stains glycogen, mucin, connective tissue fibers, and other structures that contain carbohydrates, pink, red, or maroon. The periodic acid converts adjacent 1, 2 glycol groups to aldehydes and the basic Fuchsin of Schiff's reagent stains the aldehydes. Sometimes Hematoxylin is used as a counter stain giving you a PASH.
Silver stain. This special procedure employs silver nitrate to specifically demonstrate reticular fibers, neurofibrils of neurons and granules in enteroendocrine cells. These structures are stained black whereas other tissue components may take on a faint gray background stain without revealing detail.
Toluidine blue. Used to demonstrate granules in mast cells. Nuclei are deep blue; mast cell granules are reddish-purple.
Verhoeff-Van Gieson stain (VVG). This method is used for identifying elastic fibers in tissues such as skin, aorta, etc. The elastic fibers will be stained blue-black and background will be stained yellow.

Gates' Top Team From Week 18
by Emily Gates January 13, 2023 0 comments
The NFL regular season finale has concluded; Week 16 was the last time a team was crowned as the top team, and that team was the Kanas City Chiefs. So, for the last time in the regular season, the Buffalo Bills will be crowned the Team of the Week for Week 18.
Click here for Gates' full Team of the Week archive.
Nyheim Hines
At one point, Hines had four kick returns for 235 and two touchdowns. He carried the Bills to their victory over the New England Patriots. The longest kick return in NFL history is 109 yards; Hines had one touchdown return for 101 and 97 yards. Hines had 71 percent of the Bills' total yards.
At one point in the game, Bill Belichick decided that the Pats' special team was going to squib kick, and it ended up going out of bounds giving the Bills an excellent field position.
Josh Allen was spreading the ball to a lot of his receivers. Josh went 19-of-31 for 254 yards and three touchdowns. Although Allen had one interception. The top target for Allen was once again Stefon Diggs, with 104 yards and one touchdown. John Brown also had a 42-yard touchdown. Dawson Knox had a quiet day with two catches for 13 yards and one touchdown.
Lockdown Defense
The Buffalo Bills played lockdown defense against the New England Patriots. Buffalo picked off Mac Jones three separate times. Those picks were by Matt Milano, Tremaine Edmunds, and Tre'Davious White. Jordan Poyer led the team in tackles with seven solo tackles. Gregory Rousseau was able to sack Jones as well.
The Pats leading rusher, Rhamondre Stevenson, only had 54 yards. However, their leading receiver DeVante Parker had 72 yards and two touchdowns. Needless to say, the Bills were able to shut Mac and that offense down, leading to New England only scoring 23 points.
There are two updates. The first update is there was not a Team of the Week for Week 17 due to the Damar Hamlin situation. The winner of the Cincinnati Bengals-Buffalo Bills game would have been the Top Team of the Week for Week 17. The second update is this series will be continuing into the playoffs.

I'm not a huge hockey fan, but I appreciate the sport and the people who play it. I don't ice skate well, especially skate backwards!
When we first walked in, we were allowed to take a photo with the Stanley Cup! Pretty amazing given we were able to touch it no less. Would they allow you to take a photo with and tough the Vince Lombardi Trophy at the Football Hall of Fame in Canton? The answer is no (I've been there). I think they realize how much the cup means to hockey fans and to make it available to the fans is amazing.
I made an appearance at the bar (which was the draw for most of my colleagues) and then I escaped to the exhibits. It was amazing! They had a special tour of all of the Olympic medals from all of the years on display. Ironically enough, they didn't have a sample of the 2010 medals, but did have a huge display to both of the hockey teams who beat the US in the finals.
I spent some time talking to Patrick, an employee at the Hall. He asked about my job and where I was from. I asked about his and how it was working at the Hall. Spent quite a bit of time, but worth it. I thanked him and was back off to the hotel.


It has always been a challenge to keep up to speed with changes in the networking industry, but over the last few years it feels like the pace of change has been accelerating at an alarming rate. As network architects, engineers and operators, we are being asked to design and run networks using technologies which weren't even in the market until fairly recently.
Cisco's Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) is a good example of the dramatic change that has occurred. ACI is moving network configuration from the classic, imperative, distributed command line model that we all know so well, to a new declarative model. This paradigm shift is also known as "Intent-Based Networking". These models are drastically different from one another, yet the vast majority of network engineers working on a Cisco ACI network have spent much of their time working in a legacy, pre-ACI environment. It's important to consider how to evolve legacy networking skills so that network teams can confidently deliver – and troubleshoot – services using the powerful ACI model. As with all new technologies, expertise comes with time and practice. To further complicate matters, connectivity intent (i.e. security) is part of the ACI model, and since EPG contracts can be applied with different scopes, the final connectivity configuration within ACI can rapidly scale beyond the complexity that a normal person can manage in their head.
We should consider Cisco's Network Assurance Engine (NAE) as a "safety net" or "verification suite" for organizations running Cisco's ACI. NAE runs in the background, constantly analyzing the network and asking the question "Did you mean to do that?" It's like having the network and security configurations reviewed by an expert engineer, consistently, exhaustively and tirelessly – every few minutes.
In some cases, the answer to the question "Did you mean to do that" is going to be "yes", and that's OK. There are times when the network has to be configured in a particular way. This is especially true when undertaking the migration of services from a legacy network to an ACI fabric, where the new and old networks are likely connected to one another.
Sometimes, however, the answer is going to be "no". It's nice to know when that's the case, so you can proactively fix a problem before a service owner complains. More to the point, if a service owner doescomplain, how well can the network team troubleshoot the problem on a modern fabric compared to the skills they had developed on legacy networking hardware?
With the following situations, how would it be possible to proactively detect these issues and track down the source of the problem? Let's take a look at a few examples.
If a server is configured with an incorrect bridge domain, it won't be able to communicate with the network. It's an easy mistake to make; it's syntactically correct from the network perspective, so the controller will deploy the configuration as requested; but it isn't what was intended. Through its interaction with both the controller and the network hardware, NAE is able to detect that a switch is receiving frames from an IP which is not applicable for the configured bridge-domain, and thus it can trigger an alert.
Imagine that a VM has been cloned, but the IP address was not changed. Suddenly, there's an IP address conflict on the network; two devices have the same IP. Which one is supposed to have that IP (at least, which one had it first), and how quickly would the issue be discovered in the first place? Because Cisco NAE takes snapshots of the network state every time it runs, it's possible to see when and where the new, conflicting IP appeared, and immediately identify the endpoint which needs re-addressing.
How often does a problem arise, but apparently nobody made any changes? NAE's snapshots provide a great historical record of how the network has changed over time, and if there was a change made which breaks the connectivity which was requested in contracts. Warnings would also be generated asking if you meant to do that.
As a real world example, a large European IT provider with a fast-growing cloud business had an mixed environment of switches with large and small TCAMs. Yet despite the upgrades, they were still maxing out the TCAM every quarter. Cisco installed NAE to inspect the network. NAE's policy visualization tools and TCAM usage statistics clearly showed there were huge numbers of contracts which were generating 'shadowed' security policies – namely policy entries that would never be hit because an earlier policy would already have matched the traffic flow. With that information in hand, the provider was able to review and restructure the security contracts to fix the problem.
Human errors have been a reality of all networks. With software-defined / intent-based networks they have moved to a higher level of abstraction, different from the traditional networking most of us have learned. It's not surprising that mistakes are going to happen, and with potentially wider reaching impact given the automation power. Even without the network in the picture, server owners can always throw a spanner in the works with some bad network configuration, or new (but bad) dynamic state may get learned from outside the fabric boundary, say from the branch network. What NAE brings to the table is the ability to detect these issues – including some network problems introduced by servers – quickly.
Currently, NAE runs constantly and delivers periodic network analyses so that problems can be identified within a short period of time. It's fairly easy to toggle between each snapshot (or "epoch" as they are known within NAE) and see the number of alerts changing, and drill down to see what's new. However, a handy feature coming out shortly is the ability to look at the delta (i.e. the difference) between two epochs, so it's clear what new problems arose between those two points in time, and therefore more easily identify newly-introduced problems.
Another potential feature – and this one really excites me – is a "sandbox" which would allow changes to be evaluated before they are applied to the main network, so that NAE can predict what problems wouldoccur were the change to be applied in production. This is not a trivial task, but in terms of increasing network agility while maintaining (and even improving) uptime, this feature is huge, in my opinion; it's like having a lab without having to buy a lab. Even better, the sandboxed environment would exactly match the production network, so change modeling would have a high chance of accurate results.
Cisco's Network Assurance Engine is an obvious and essential companion to Cisco ACI, providing insights and historical data that just aren't possible to obtain any other way. As new features are rolled out, NAE may dramatically alter how we, and businesses, view the risky world of change management.


Why Prefer C# against Other Programming Languages?
C# (pronounced C Sharp) Programming Language seems popular these days based on market trends. If you are working with .Net and ASP technologies, you are required to be familiar with the C# accurately. Here we will describes specifically what is similar, what is different, and the motivation behind the C# preference.
The most recent version of C# is 6.0, which was released on July 20, 2015.
Here are some C# properties that make it preferable over C++.
It allows you to treat class-methods' signatures as free functions (i.e. ignoring the statically typed this pointer argument), and hence create more dynamic and flexible relationships between classes.
C# has a huge standard library with so much useful stuff that's well-implemented and easy to use.
It allows for both managed and native code blocks.
Assembly versioning easily remedy DLL hell problems.
You can set classes, methods and fields to be assembly-internal (which means they are accessible from anywhere within the DLL they're declared in, but not from other assemblies).
Also Learn : What really is .Net Framework, its Uses & Benefits to Developers?
Some of the properties that makes C# better than Java.
Instead of a lot of noise (EJB, private static class implementations, etc) you get elegant and friendly native constructs such as Properties and Events.
You have real generics (not the bad casting joke that Java calls generics), and you can perform reflection on them.
It doesn't have checked exceptions.
It has Lambdas and LINQ, therefore supporting a small amount of functional programming.
It allows for both generic covariance and contravariance explicitly.
It has dynamic variables, if you want them.
It allows you to define new value (or non-reference) types.
Although C# is better than Java in certain ways, but are so similar in most ways that once you have learned how to program in C#, it will be trivial to transfer your knowledge to Java. There is also a white paper documentation written by Kirk Radeck on MSDN as Learn about the differences between C# and Java where he discusses main difference between C# & Java & the benefits of them on each other.
The environment for your software is most important for choosing C#. If you work in an environment with Windows clients, Windows servers, Active Directory, IIS and maybe SQL Server then C# is the far best language with the .NET Framework. If you work in a Unix environment with e.g. web services, Java would be my choice. And if you work with embedded systems or have to integrate with hardware devices Java or C++ will be a good choice.
PreviousPrevious post:What is .Net Framework and its Uses & Benefits?
New research shows that Java is more favored these days. What do you say ? Should i still go with C# or move to Java sir?
@Tahira. research are done almost everyday but these are done in only specific countries not globally. If you are from Pakistan, India or Middle east i would suggest you go with C# programming because of its strength in development industry. Other than that its all on you to decide. No one can predict the future.
To the point talk. I like the way you represent comparison between C# & Java and C# & C++. But Java is still the king.
This comparison is good. Thanks for this knowledge.


Here's you'll find Britain's only herd of free-ranging reindeer, so it can be a bit tricky to find them. Follow a local herder up onto the mountainside and admire the stunning Cairngorm scenery. Then walk among and stroke the animals as the herder tells you more about them. You can make your own set of antlers at the centre or pet the elderly reindeer in the paddock.
Ever tried to lasso a reindeer? The herders at Pyhäjärvi Reindeer Farm can show you how. Meet the reindeer and go on a sleigh ride drawn by the magnificent Oscar II, Villi and Kulnasatj. While you're there you can learn all about reindeer herding and branding. Find out about the quaint neighbouring village of Koriu and browse the selection of colourful local crafts.
While you're in the area, you could take to the nearby immaculate slopes or try a spot of cross-country skiing on one of the excellent trails. You could head off on a husky safari - the dogs are really friendly and the wildlife on view above the Arctic Circle is fascinating. Relax later in a traditional sauna, smoke sauna or sauna raft along the Torne River.
Dash through a snowy pine forest on a traditional reindeer-drawn sleigh and soak up Lapland's mysterious atmosphere. Stop and sit by a crackling open fire and grill delicious sausages, sip steaming Glögi (mulled wine) or sample spicy gingerbread. On a clear evening you might spot the Northern Lights and the twinkling stars above you.
You can find Santa's reindeer team here even in the middle of August, with Christmas lights and decorations still sparkling around them. This is, after all, where Santa's letters are postmarked and stamped with an official seal. It's also home to the world's largest Santa, a 42 ft-tall statue that greets you as you arrive.
Take in the unique atmosphere of a town where it really is Christmas 365 days a year, with candy canes painted on the streets and glittering decorations hanging year round. You can catch one of the town's famous Christmas parades or the fireworks at the Winter Festival. Check out the 'Christmas in Ice' exhibition too: it features about 600 tons of sculpted North Pole ice.
So, with all of this evidence, there should be no doubt that reindeer are real, and with that, we now know where Santa drafts his team of sleigh-pullers each year!

Kim & Kim Artist Eva Cabrera Launches Betty & Veronica Vixens Series At Archie In November
Posted on August 9, 2017 | by Jude Terror | 0 Comment(s)
Archie has announced a new ongoing series, Betty & Veronica Vixens, coming to comic shops in November from Archie editor and writer Jamie L. Rotante and Eisner-nominated Kim & Kim artist Eva Cabrera.
Along with a new Mighty Crusaders series from Ian Flynn and Kelsey Shannon and an upcoming Cosmo revival from Flynn, Betty & Veronica Vixens is billed by the publisher as an expansion of their catalog, a power grab for market share across multiple genres.
"Archie can do anything," said Archie Comics CEO/Publisher Jon Goldwater in a press release. He did not specify whether they could shoot someone on fifth avenue and not lose readers, but it was probably implied. "It's not just one kind of comic, show or concept. You can do a horror Archie story, you can do a superhero Archie story, you can do a drama or comedy."
Could you do an Archie story with a goat? Would you do one on a boat?
"Archie Comics has a wide, diverse and multi-faceted library of characters and we're trying new things with our IP in order to keep fans engaged," Goldwater bragged.
So what's this particular new thing about, you ask? What's not to get about it? We already told you, Kim & Kim artist Eva Cabrera launches Betty & Veronica Vixens series. It's right in the headline.
Okay, fine. The press release has details if you're not already sold:
The world's most famous BFFs return with a vengeance this November! Betty and Veronica are the leaders of the toughest gang in Riverdale, the Vixens, in the new ongoing series from writer Jamie L. Rotante, artist Eva Cabrera (Kim & Kim), colorist Elaina Unger and letter Rachel Deering. An intense and action-packed journey alongside the girls of Riverdale High begins on November 15 in B&V VIXENS #1.
"Betty and Veronica aren't just two young ladies who happen to like the same boy—they're two hard-working, intelligent and strong women who maintain a friendship despite their differences; consistently defying all expectations to overcome the odds stacked against them," said Rotante in the press release. "That's something I really wanted to explore with this series—and not just Betty and Veronica, many of the female Archie Comics characters will get a chance to tell their own unique stories in a way that's fun and action-packed."
"Working for Archie Comics is a dream come true for me, and this was the very reason I started doing comics!" said Cabrera. "I feel this project was meant for me because I adore Motorcycles AND the Archie girls! I'm sure everyone will love it! Besides, who doesn't love all-girl motorcycle groups?"
Nazis, probably. Nazis don't like all-girl motorcycle groups.
This one hits stores in November.

The dark skinned Indian woman stood in the middle of a small church in Shimla, North India. With tears streaming down her face, she gave praise to God for the two American men who had just prayed for her. Dave and Gregg shouted and laughed with joy at how God had just used them to manifest His glory. The people of the little church were greatly encouraged and full of faith as they listened to the testimonies of those who were healed and touched by God.
After being introduced to North India by Mark Geppert in October, 2012, I had the opportunity to return with a small team for two weeks to prayer walk and connect with local believers. I traveled with my daughter, Jenni, and two men in their fifties, Dave and Gregg. These two men had never been on a prayer journey before but they were hungry to experience God in new ways. As I spoke about my plans to go, God stirred their hearts and they stepped out to do something that would be life changing, for them, as well as those they ministered to. They left their comfort zone and what was familiar to experience God in ways they could never have imagined.
Jet lag, hard beds, sometimes sleeping together in one bed, bucket "showers" with cold water, hiking up a mountain to a remote village with our luggage mounted on two donkeys, many hours of traveling the narrow, prayer inspiring, mountain roads (Ravi, our tour guide, called it the "Adventurous Route"), cold nights without heat – all of this was taken in stride with joy and was counted as nothing as we saw God pour out His Spirit and actually use simple people like us to advance His Kingdom.
Being led by the Holy Spirit and going where He directed with no agenda of our own. Prayer walking Hindu and Tibetan Buddist temples. Sharing the gospel with a Hindu priestess in Manu temple in Manali,(had any Christian ever done that before?). Going to a mountain village where no American or Christian had ever been. Praying healing prayers and watching God manifest His love and grace and restore blind eyes, deaf ears and broken bodies. Teaching in a Bible College in Delhi. Visiting orphanages. Encouraging and blessing the local believers. Yes, it truly was a vacation with a purpose. The highest purpose of all. Declaring Jesus Christ to the utter most parts of the world.
Is it possible that God may be stirring your heart to go on one of these journeys? Is He asking you to carry his presence to a place Jesus has never been proclaimed before? Say yes! It will be the best life changing "yes" you could ever imagine! Contact us if you would like to join one of our upcoming trips.

10 Facts You Should Know About CBD Medical Uses - Quantum 9, Inc.
With marijuana legalization increasing, more research is being conducted on the multiple compounds in marijuana. Here are the CBD Medical Uses we find as the most helpful.
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of the two major marijuana compounds. When isolated, CBD medical offers multiple medicinal benefits without the psychoactive effects.
CBD is found in cannabis and its sister plant, hemp.
CBD is commonly used for medicinal purposes, thanks to its healing benefits. The secret behind CBD healing is in our CB2 receptors that are found throughout our body.
Want to treat and prevent multiple ailments?
Here are 10 benefits of CBD medical marijuana.
For those who have current or are susceptible to brain ailments, CBD medical acts as a neuroprotective.
Many CB2 receptors are found in the brain — along with CB1 receptors, which is what psychoactive THC controls.
Both marijuana compounds help restore vital functions of the brain. For those who sustain Alzheimer's or any sort of brain damage, marijuana helps repair cognitive function.
But for those who don't desire the "high" from THC, CBD medical will still help restore cognition without the psychoactive effects.
This occurs on a cellular level. When CBD enters your system, the endocannabinoids attach to your brain cells with CB2 receptors.
These receptors control your cells and act as a protectant. As you continue administering CBD, these functions and the brain cell barriers increase in strength.
In addition to protecting your brain cells, CBD prevents excitotoxicity. This is when brain cell production is disrupted and your brain cells lose control. When CB2 receptors control your brain cells, brain function returns to normal.
CBD improves current neurodegenerative ailments — this includes epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease.
CBD also prevents these ailments in the long-term.
Oxidative stress is one of the main causes of cancer. When your cells endure oxidative stress, they develop free radicals. This causes your cells to be damaged or killed.
Oxidative stress causes a various amount of diseases — but one of the most prevalent ones is cancer.
To prevent this process, our body needs to produce antioxidants. Unfortunately, we don't naturally produce enough to combat cancer.
So more antioxidants are required to fully combat cell oxidation.
CBD medical is a potent antioxidant. When your cells are damaged by free radicals, CBD can come in and repair the damage. CBD also supports the immune system, giving our body even more benefits against oxidative stress.
With cancer, in particular, CBD helps destroy existing cancer.
CBD medical disrupts the endoplasmic reticulum, pushing calcium in the cytosol. In other words, CBD kills cancer cells. CBD also breaks down the proteins and peptides in cancer cells so they don't survive.
CBD also reduces cell cytotoxicity. When healthy cells endure cytotoxicity, these cells get destroyed. CBD helps protect healthy cells so they aren't killed off. In addition, CBD prevents cancerous and toxic cells and blood vessels from growing.
CB2 receptors are prevalent in our immune system and our nervous system.
Therefore, CBD medical significantly reduces pain and inflammation.
CBD reduces pain and inflammation on multiple levels. CBD can reduce minor pain and inflammation due to non-threatening injuries, such as cuts and scrapes.
But CBD can also reduce major pain and inflammation, even when they're symptoms of major disorders.
CBD helps aid your muscular system, which treats pain from muscle fatigue and even disorders such as fibromyalgia. Because of CBD's potent effects, it acts as a muscle relaxer and a painkiller.
As a painkiller, the CB2 receptors work with the brain cells and the cells in the central nervous system. CBD blocks the communication between both systems, so you don't recognize the pain.
A similar process occurs when CBD interacts with your muscular system. When your muscles contract, your muscles communicate with nerve cells, telling your body you feel pain.
Since CB2 receptors are prevalent in your nerve cells, CB2 receptors block this communication.
In addition, CBD also prevents the inflammation associated with pain disorders.
Inflammation begins in your immune system, acting as a trigger to signal your body that there's something wrong.
Since CB2 receptors are abundant in your immune system, CBD controls your immune system so it doesn't cause inflammation.
The story that put CBD medical in the limelight was the treatment of Charlotte Figi.
Charlotte has Dravet Syndrome, which is a severe form of epilepsy. This causes Charlotte to have up to hundreds of daily seizures. The Stanley Brothers created Charlotte's Web, a high-CBD and very low-THC oil for Charlotte.
Her seizures reduced significantly — from hundreds to only a few each day.
In short, CBD oil saved Charlotte's life.
Because of Charlotte's success, CBD started to undergo more research.
Based on the findings, CBD is proven to reduce seizures by over 50%! Credible resources such as the American Epilepsy Society now consider CBD as an effective epilepsy treatment.
In this study, adults and children with epileptic disorders were given CBD and placebos. These patients attested no other medications worked for them.
162 patients were assigned to take 99% THC oil for 12 weeks.
The results showed the patients assigned CBD noticed an improvement in their epileptic symptoms, including seizure reduction. Monthly seizures reduced by about 37%, two patients reported they never experienced another seizure.
Since CBD doesn't contain the psychoactive properties of THC, it's safe for children with epilepsy.
CB2 receptors are prevalent in your immune system. Therefore, they can control sicknesses — even before they fully develop. This is true for viral ailments. This is particularly true for hepatitis, which causes inflammation in the liver.
For hepatitis, CBD benefits hepatitis patients for multiple reasons.
First, the CB2 receptors strengthen immune cells, so they fight viral activity. And since CB2 receptors control the cells, this prevents good cells fighting each other — which is typical in autoimmune patients with hepatitis.
CBD also reduces inflammation, which relieves multiple ailments associated with the liver. These benefits are prevalent for both hepatitis types B and C.
Keep in mind, you should not refrain from taking any vaccines or other medications.
Hepatitis and other viral disorders can be fatal if left untreated. CBD is a safe prescription drug alternative but is more effective when used with other medications. Use CBD along with other doctor-prescribed methods.
For those who are healthy, take CBD medical anyway. CBD helps build your immune system and fights viruses such as the common cold.
CBD medical helps reduce blood sugar in diabetes patients, but it also helps prevent the development of diabetes.
Diabetes is on the rise, and one of the main culprits is our sugar consumption. But CBD helps stabilize blood sugar, improves blood circulation, and lowers blood pressure.
Keep in mind — CBD is not an alternative to a diet and exercise regimen. If you have diabetes, take CBD while making healthy lifestyle changes.
Type one diabetes is a different story. Type one diabetes is usually caused by an autoimmune disorder, which attacks the islet cells in the pancreas. These are the cells that produce insulin.
While CBD isn't a miracle cure for type one diabetes, it does help relieve the symptoms.
For example, joint and muscle pain is a common diabetes symptom. CBD interferes with nerve cell-to-cell communication, which results in pain loss.
Since CB2 receptors are prevalent in your immune system, CBD helps reduce the inflammation associated with diabetes. CB2 receptors also exist in your stomach and your intestines, which helps with gastrointestinal pain.
Even CBD improves restless leg syndrome, especially when you sleep. CBD has a natural sedative effect, so you fall asleep easier.
Are you looking for a cigarette alternative?
CBD can cut cigarette and nicotine addiction. CBD can be administered in a variety of different forms, and a popular administration method is CBD oil as an inhalant.
This method is best for those who are looking to quit smoking cigarettes.
When a cigarette user craves a cigarette, they can smoke CBD oil instead. CBD will satisfy the urge to smoke and the user isn't inhaling harmful ingredients such as nicotine.
For those who desire to quit smoking, CBD helps prevent nicotine cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms.
Why does CBD help curb cigarette cravings?
Researchers don't exactly know, but they're assuming it has to do with CBD's sedative effects.
Most cigarette users light up when they feel anxious. CBD helps calm the mind and prevent anxiety, so users don't need to inhale nicotine to stay calm.
The added benefit of vaporizing CBD oil is vapor doesn't contain the harmful effects of smoke.
The traditional marijuana consumption method is igniting the dry bud and inhaling the smoke. While this method isn't severely dangerous, it's not beneficial to your lungs.
Less heat is required for vapor, so the vape pen mechanisms don't exert high heat on the CBD oil. This results in relaxed vapor which is safe for consumption.
CBD medical helps relieve a myriad of mental health disorders, anywhere from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) to more severe mental disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
While THC is also prescribed because of its mental properties, CBD also benefits the mind.
All of the ailments CBD treats help calm your mind. Several health ailments cause anxiety: pain, high blood pressure, and uncontrollable nerve cells. Since CBD treats these physical issues, you'll also receive the calming mental benefits.
Since CBD prevents anxiety, CBD helps treat mental disorders such as PTSD.
PTSD victims have reoccurring intrusive thoughts and nightmares due to past traumatic experiences. Since CBD also treats insomnia, PTSD patients can easily fall asleep with no nightmares.
Other anxiety disorders CBD treats include obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and social anxiety.
In addition to treating anxiety, CBD also treats depression. Some experts argue THC is more effective for depression patients because of its euphoric properties.
But some depressive patients enjoy the calming relief that CBD offers.
Schizophrenia is also a mental disorder that CBD treats. Schizophrenia affects several cognitive areas of the brain, which causes hallucinations and other uncontrollable mental ailments.
Since CBD strengthens brain cells, cognition in schizophrenia patients is improved.
Those who suffer from Crohn's Disease can seek relief from CBD medical. Crohn's Disease is an inflammatory bowel disease. It affects the lining of your digestive tract, resulting in intense stomach pain.
The reason why CBD is beneficial for Crohn's Disease is obvious — its anti-inflammatory effects. CBD targets your immune cells, which fights any sign of inflammation.
There are also CB2 receptors in the stomach, which helps improve digestion.
Nerve cell communication prevents pain signals to the brain, so you don't feel the stomach pain associated with Crohn's Disease.
Insomnia is a common issue but is a very annoying one. CBD medical helps control all insomnia symptoms.
There are very few side effects associated with CBD, but a major one is fatigue and drowsiness. This side effect is exemplified if the CBD was extracted from an indica-dominant strain, which is the marijuana plant that induces sleepiness.
Fortunately, this is perfect for those who suffer from insomnia. Administration of CBD results in a full night's sleep. It is a safe alternative to sleeping pills. CBD is also non-addictive and non-habit forming.
There are multiple medicinal uses for CBD. CBD may seem like a "miracle" medicine, but the science is pretty simple.
Our endocannabinoid system works with our most basic bodily functions: our cells. When the powerful benefits of CBD control our cells, we experience amazing healing. CBD also acts as a safer alternative to prescription medications.
CBD can help common ailments such as insomnia and generalized anxiety. But since CBD works on an immune and neuroprotective level, CBD can help treat major diseases such as epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease.

Arshalous "Alice" Meserlian Walter, 61, formerly of Springfield, Delaware County, a volunteer who was active in the Armenian American community, died of cancer April 12 at Martin Memorial Hospital in Stewart, Fla.
Mrs. Walter, whose parents were Armenian immigrants, was a member of the women's auxiliary at Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic Church in Cheltenham and sang in the choir there for many years. In the 1970s, she traveled to Armenia to help establish an American-sponsored school. For 12 years she was a receptionist at the Armenian Sisters Academy in Radnor. She later volunteered at Cardinal O'Hara High School in Springfield.
Mrs. Walter grew up in Philadelphia. After graduating from Germantown High School she worked for an accounting firm. She was human resources director for the Bank of Leomi in Philadelphia when she married Ernest J. Walter in 1982.
The couple had met at the Jersey Shore and had a summer home in Brigantine. They wintered in Hobe Sound, Fla.
In addition to her husband, Mrs. Walter is survived by a son, Andrew; a stepson, Ernest IV; a stepdaughter, Dean Walter-Lafferty; and three grandchildren.
The funeral will be at 11 a.m. today at St. Sahag's Armenian Church, 630 Clothier Rd., Wynnewood. Burial will be in Arlington Cemetery, Drexel Hill.

The management of issues that could have an impact on the business has always been a big subject to all in management and particularly to those in public relations.
It was important in the era of print, radio and television, but today it is even bigger with the impact of online media, particularly social media, blogs and twitter with the capacity to communicate and influence people by the millions in an instant.
Is this response greeting your media release?
Anyone with anything to do with the media is now several metres deep in indiscriminate emailed media releases.
I blame incompetent PR people, the DIY PR books and articles and those people who whip out media releases to all in the forlorn hope that some journo will find the story interesting.
Quite often the subject is irrelevant to the medium concerned and the story so badly written that it is hard to work out what they are trying to say.
Who says we're environmentally friendly??
Isn't the term 'environmentally-friendly' such a cliché in the 21st century. When I was at school it would have been unheard of to discuss 'the environment' and to talk about the need to 'save' it.

Activist and Author Elaine Brown Speaks to UMSL
By Candice Murdock, Staff Writer
Elaine Brown—activist, former Black Panther, and author of "A Taste of Power" and "The Condemnation of Little B"—spoke to a crowd of people on March 14 at 7 p.m. in the J.C. Penney Auditorium. The Associated Black Collegians, Educators for Social Justice, College of Education Dean's Committee on Social Justice, Liberated Genius, and TEACH society co-sponsored the event, which was part of the Des Lee Professor Urban Education Speaker Series on Race, Class, and Community. The speech was called "Education for Liberation for All People."
Before Brown graced the stage, there was a brief introduction given by Dr. Jerome E. Morris, E. Desmond Lee endowed professor of urban education, who gave a synopsis of Brown's community activism. He cited her work as the first woman leader of the Black Panther Party, discussed her run for the Green Party in 2007, and noted that HBO is in the process of making a movie about her life.
After his introduction, a YouTube interlude was shown featuring singer and songwriter Alicia Keys, in which Keys mentioned how Brown was someone that she always wanted to meet, and that when Keys did meet her, with the poem "Black Mother" by Bunchy Carter, who was himself a slain Black Panther.
Immediately after the interlude, Brown came onto the stage and expressed how important it is for black people to be liberated. She explained, "[The] fundamental problem in the United States is the continued existence of black people as an oppressed group in the United States."
Brown defined this as an "eternal dilemma" that has existed between black and white people. Even though she explained that there is a dilemma between black and white people, she emphasized that it is not a color question, but it is instead what she described as a "conditioned socio-political, economic condition that a group of people who had evolved, created, and invented itself out of a slave population continues to face."
She began her speech by situating it in Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1967 speech, "Where Do We Go From Here?" In 1967, blacks in the United States had the right to vote, and the United States had passed the civil rights bill, but the questioned remained: Where should they go from there? She used the theme of King's speech as a theme that could also be used to analyze the state of black people today. "Where do black people in 2017 go from here?" she asked.
She compared other ethnic and cultural groups with black people by examining their representational plight in the media, citing images of "dysfunctional black people" and stereotypes in the media.
Brown said that while she realized this about the media, she also came to several realizations about history as well. "In order for you to understand how something happens, you have to understand the origins of it," she said. She also realized that in order to understand the state of black people in the United States today, one must understand what happened in the beginning to contribute to the historical trauma that affects the generations of today.
To this end, during the speech she spoke about the history of black people in relation to the United States of America, starting with slavery. She discussed that although we as a nation want to move on and turn the page of history, we cannot turn the page until there is acknowledgement. She gave a brief history discussion covering such historical events as the 13 colonies, the growth rate of U.S. exports, freeing the slaves in the southern states after the Civil War, Reconstruction, the idea of receiving "40 acres and a mule," black codes and behaviors, Plessy v. Ferguson, and the doctrine of separate but equal. She also discussed the various ways black Americans such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B DuBois, and Marcus Garvey have tried to assimilate and survive in America by advocating for black economic independence.
She continued to speak about DuBois' ideas about the NAACP, which Brown cited as, "[needing] to integrate being worthy … [and] to elevate the rest of us so that we can join with white people of America and participate."
She continued integrating her speech with the history of blacks in the United States by citing Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam, the Great Migration, World War II and the Tuskegee Airmen, Brown v. Board of Education and Ruby Bridges, Rosa Parks and the year-end Montgomery Bus Boycott, Martin Luther King Jr.'s charismatic leadership, and the Freedom movement. She continued to cite the diverse history that brought about Malcolm X, Rap Brown, Stokely Carmichael, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, C.O.R.E, and others. She also discussed the March on Washington in 1963, the Civil Rights Act, the March on Selma, and the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
In 1966, when the Black Panther Party formed, Brown said that she and the party had a realization. "We recognized [at] that moment that black people were not free because we just had gotten the right to vote and really couldn't exercise that right could translate in any case. So we advocated Black Liberation as part of that long freedom movement since 1607," she said.
However, Brown stressed that black people could not be free if any other group was also oppressed. Brown asked, "How do we talk about the freedom of black people if the Native people are being treated as slaves on the reservations? We said [that] we couldn't, so we helped to form the Coalition of American Indians. How do we talk about the freedom of black people if the Chicanos in California are picking cotton in the fields of California like slaves? We cannot be free unless the Latinos in America are free. So we formed the coalition of Brown Berets and Young Lords in Chicago. How do we talk about the freedom of black in the context of Asians? So we helped form the Red Guard. What about poor white people living in the Appalachians?"
Brown also noted the Black Panther's party relations with groups such as the Young Patriots, a left wing organization formed in the 1960s. This group also had connections and affiliations with groups around the world in places like China, Vietnam, South Africa, Palestine, Cuba, and others. She said that the Black Panthers also identified with the Women's Liberation and the Gay Liberation movements in the late 1960s and 1970s.
Other than the work of the Black Panther movement, during a question and answer session she also talked about how to reframe the way teachers teach. However, she recognizes that before kids can learn, there are other factors that must be addressed. She said, "There are kids that are raising themselves, and there's nothing for them in the public school system. We fed children three meals a day. … We took care of their healthcare for all of their children."
She continued to discuss overcrowded classrooms and the jobs of teachers in controlling the classroom in order to teach the children. She explained, "Those issues of actually getting to the point of actually learning something have to be dealt with."
After the speech, it was apparent to everyone that there are a lot of changes that needed to be made within the education system, and many of these changes Brown asserted needed to begin in the home. Mary Brod, senior, anthropology and archeology, spoke about Brown's insights. "Ms. Brown was correct when she said it wasn't simply about changing the curriculum. It's about how teachers communicate on a human level with students, and that can be difficult if the teacher happens to be white while the student happens to be black. There is a cultural disconnect there that nobody wants to discuss, but Elaine Brown hit that sweet spot with all of her strength and courage when she discussed the home sphere that many black children face and how that influences their education. Changing the curriculum in schools does nothing if a child does not have a safe and healthy environment conducive for studying at home, which is [not] the case for many in low-income neighborhoods and families. Gangs, drugs, police brutality or fear of it, loss of parents, homelessness, and starvation are all major issues many young black students face today."
Beyond the education system, the speech also addressed some long-standing misconceptions about the Black Panther Party. Christopher Walter Jr., senior, business administration, said, "I took away that the work that she did in the community was very vital to how we think about the movement today. When we think about the Black Panther Party, we commonly think that it was violent and that it was very militant; it was arming. But it had a great breakfast program and had a school that taught individuals, particularly black people, about their history. I think that it's very important."
Walter also emphasized Brown's message on creating change. "I took the idea that we all must seek fundamental change and be revolutionary in that revolution isn't a bad thing. It's something we must consider when we want to make a true, actual, long-standing difference in the country," he said.

"I'm not anxious because I know my body perfectly", he told reporters on Monday. "I am fine because I know I will come back in one or two weeks", Ronaldo said of the injury after Monday's 1-1 draw.
The reigning European champions failed to recapture the same intensity after the restart and were fortunate that Adem Ljajic blazed over in the 56th minute, while Nemanja Maksimovic made a vital block to deny Andre Silva at the other end. The referee appeared to signal the penalty but backtracked after talking with the linesman.
In a season, Ronaldo has never missed more than three weeks across his career at Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus.
"He invited me into his room to take a look at the incident".
Portugal coach Fernando Santos said Polish referee Szymon Marciniak also apologized to him after the match. "You can't let someone who is 40 metres away make the call for you".
The contest finished 1-1, leaving Portugal third in Group B. Serbia, with a game in hand, has one point.
Despite Portugal's inability to win their to opening matches in the Euro 2020 qualifying matches, against Ukraine and now Serbia, Ronaldo is upbeat with Selecao chances.
