The Girls Standing Up Against Harassment In Pakistani Universities
By Academia Magazine
Harassment and marginalisation of women is a touchy topic in Pakistan, let alone the country's academic circles. We discover how two young students are taking the issue head on.
All Mohiba wanted to do the first time she walked through the gates of Government College University was to study literature at one of the most prestigious institutes in the country. After all, it happens to be the seat of learning for revered Ravians like Patras Bukhari, Faiz Ahmd Faiz, Wasif Ali Wasif, Ashfaq Ahmed, Sufi Tabassum and Allama Muhammad Iqbal, all giants of occupations they engaged themselves in. But little did she know that experiences during study circles in Shahab Garden and observations in the brick-lined corridors of the Main Block would lead her to a profound societal disease she thought GCU's studious air had not been plagued by.
Mohiba was first exposed to issues of on-campus harassment of female students during one of the numerous study circles she has been a keen participant of. "There were a number study groups being organised, but they were always dominated by boys. Girls hardly got a chance to express their views. It was then that we decided to form a study circle exclusively for female students where they could speak their mind and gain confidence to voice their opinions," says Mohiba Ahmed, who is pursuing an English literature bachelors at GCU.
Mohiba says one study circle at GCU each month takes up women and gender issues exclusively.
But the study circle that was to provide confidence to girls soon turned into a confidant of sorts, as participants started opening up about experiences of on-campus harassment during their sessions. The deliberation during these sessions unearthed how several girls had been subject to routine cat-calling and discomforting behaviour on part of some boys enrolled at the varsity.
It was time to put things into order. Mohiba and about 15 other girls joined hands to stand up for each other. Collectively, they complained to the administration about harassment of girls by some misguided students. An inquiry was initiated and the GCU administration eventually expelled the male students involved in marring the university's otherwise peaceful environment. GCU's prompt action was a befitting reply to those who thought they could get away with impudence and disrespect towards females, and one that was worthy of a premier educational institute working diligently for the cause of education for well over a century.
United They Stand
It was a great win for Mohiba and her trusted friend Maria Arshad, also a GCU student, and together they were moved enough to lay the foundations for Womens' Collective – a support group devoted to protecting vulnerable girls from harassment inside the varsity. According to Maria, silence is a major part of the harassment problem. "Nobody talks about it. There is a complete lack of awareness. Many girls suffer harassment and are treated marginally on basis of gender, but they do not realise that such prejudiced treatment and harassment is neither normal, nor acceptable," she opines.
Maria says although most girls opt to stay quiet,silence should not be an option
The Department of Psychology student says some teachers she interacted with over the course of her student life also thought little of female students. "During a lecture once, a teacher only explained a concept to boys sitting in the class, saying it was for those who 'had the time to think and understand it' and girls were just 'going to get married'."
Statements as such are just enough to shatter the confidence of many girls and reinforce the stereotypical intellectual boundaries defined for women in Pakistan. Many women in Pakistan who head out of home for study or work often face resistance to their pursuits from some of the closest family members, even in this age. To add fuel to fire, statements like Maria's instructor's in an educational setting supposed to open minds only reiterate the limitations many uninformed souls think women's potential has.
Collective Causation
Mohiba and Maria – and Women's Collective – are on and about to empower fellow girls and help them realise the possibilities. "Women's Collective is striving to help girls deal with harassment, marginalization and biased treatment on campus," Maria adds. "So far, we have tried to give courage to our friends in the collective. We have arranged Women's Week at GCU, several seminars, talks and meetings to counteract the unhealthy environment, which seeks to marginalize women over petty issues." They add that the support they received from fellow students, as well as the varsity administration has been encouraging.
The collective recently held a protest outside the Provincial Assembly against violence on campuses following the clashes at PU
Since its inception, the group has organised several study circles, seminars, talks, panel discussions and lectures at GCU focusing on the rights and responsibilities of women and their importance for true progress of the Pakistani society. Members also arranged a peaceful protest outside the Punjab Assembly recently against the rising violence and extremism on university campuses following the January clashes at Punjab University.
Growth Spurt
The girls' sheer will to give voice to girls at universities has won them many friends. They are spreading the word about their activities to other institutions, social and institutional groups, journalists, lawyers, teachers, and psychologists and the response has been welcoming. They now have chapters in other institutions such as Punjab University, Kinnaird College and FAST to name a few. "We are trying to ensure our presence at every campus," Maria says that with a resolve. "Apart from spreading awareness, we are also contacting mental health specialists who can help girls overcome the agony and trauma of harassment and return to normal activities."
The numbers in all girls' study circles at GCU are rising
So does this progressive movement to win rights for women at universities has an intellectual source? Mohiba says it does indeed. "Our collective is progressive and employs leftist readings to understand and analyze various social problems. We incorporate the socialist framework to understand the ground realities of our society. But we also invite Islamic scholars and doctors to talk about Islamic feminism."
Both Mohiba and Maria reckon that women must not be seen separate from rest of the society. "We are trying to connect the problems of women with every relevant political issue. Every social problem and political issue is as relevant for women as it is for men," the two agree.
We do too. But it might be a long battle before the few that do not also understand the importance of women and their value to a society. Until then, Godspeed, girls.

Computer Software World: Learn about the Types of Software Licenses
Whether you work in a field of technology or a geek in the world of technology in general, surely you have dealt with different types of computer programs and you may have wondered what is the difference between free software, open-source software, freeware and so on? You may feel a bit confused by all these definitions and terms and what are the common factors and differences between them.
Have you ever heard or worked with terms like "all rights reserved" or "copyright reserved" and other terms for various software licenses and would like to understand what they refer to?
The beginning of this series with this article that will explain in a simple way the different types of computer programs with an explanation of the various licenses for these programs.
While in the second article we will talk more about two of the most important types of computer programs, namely:
The free software movement, its genesis, and the pioneers of this movement.
The open-source software movement.
In the beginning, we all know that the computer consists of two main components or parts: the hardware component and the software component. This is what we are interested in talking about.
The first aspect: the different types of computer programs.
The second aspect: licenses for these programs, or more precisely, licenses for the source code or source code for these programs.
source code Software licenses
(The source code is simply the set of instructions written in one of the programming languages that ultimately make up the application)
These licenses are often found in the End-User License Agreement EULA.
Types of computer programs:
There are many classifications that fall under most of the programs that we deal with daily on computers, for example:
1- Free and open-source software (FOSS .)
Software under this big-name FOSS means software that comes with permission for anyone to use, copy, distribute and/or modify its source code. This means that the source code or source code must be available to everyone.
We will come later in the second article to give more details about the difference between the terms free software and Open-source software
2- Proprietary (Copyright) Software and Copylefted software:
copyright and copyleft software licenses
1: Proprietary (Copyright) Software
This definition includes nonfree software, or otherwise called "Closed Software," meaning that the company that developed it does not give users permission to access the program's source code and therefore the freedom to modify it except with its consent.
Examples: Windows OS or MS Office software package.
This software gives its authors the right to control the copying, distribution and modification of their work, these rights are protected by using what is known as Copyright, which is the method of legal protection of the product. Which is symbolized by © meaning that all rights of copying, modification and others are reserved.
2: Copylefted software
Like FOSS, programs that give permission for anyone to use, copy, distribute and/or modify the source code, but differ from FOSS in that they require that the same rights be maintained in the works and applications derived from it that were built from the original source code. Rather, it requires preserving the rights of the original developers of this software (mentioning the main source of the original program).
This is because the basic principle of copyleft software is that anyone can benefit freely from the previous work of others, but any modifications to that work should also benefit everyone without adding new restrictions to it.
3- Private software
Proprietary software is software developed for a single user (usually an organization or a company). This user maintains and uses this software, and does not release it to the public either as source code or as a final product.
4- Shareware
Shareware is software that comes with a license so you can try it before you buy it, but that permission requires anyone who wants to use the copy on an ongoing basis to pay a license fee later.
5- Trialware
They are like shareware programs that are available for everyone to use but for a specific period of time that allows the user a certain time to try out the program and buy it later.
6- Freeware
Freeware refers to a type of free and not "free" software that anyone can download from the Internet and use for free without any cost and even publish it, but without studying and modifying its code and code, and therefore it is not free.
An example is Adobe PDF.
Thus, we have covered most of the different concepts of different types of computer programs.

I am keeping Python 2.X compliant.
I have even tried with, and without the old import trap by having a __init__.py present in dir.
Surely I am missing something ... but what ?
How do I use class from imported scripts ?
An obvious solution is (for now) to keep code in one single script file ... but this really turns the propeller on my hat the wrong way.
If you like me use a lot of traps and rems all over your development code - especially in scripts you import as modules, then you surely will have a hard to find bug -> IE all the commenteds line of your extensively well documented code ... and guess what - somewher in this forest of proper comments is the seguence of charchters _ _ main _ _ !!!
WHO EVER LOOKS FOR BUGS IN COMMENT LINES... Huh ?
Conclusion : you can use any/all the importing conventions of python. Just make sure that NONE of the comments in ALL the other files has the word __main__ behild it.

Q: WPF DocumentPaginator and DocumentPage unexpected cropping I'm trying to print a WPF canvas over multiple pages.
I'm perfectly happy with scaling it to fit on the page width, then clipping and translating the canvas for each page; all pretty simple maths.
What I don't understand is how I get the dimensions of the printable area, and how to tell the printer where to print to. Whatever I try it appears the values I'm using are the size of the paper, and i therefore get cropping occurring as the printer cant print right to the edge of the paper.
var capabilities = printDialog.GetPrintCapabilities(dialog.PrintTicket);

capabilities has the following properties:
capabilities.PageImageableArea.ExtentWidth
// "Gets the width of the imageable area"

What is the "imageable" area? is that the area on the paper in which I can put content? I guess so because:
capabilities.PageImageableArea.OriginWidth
// Gets the distance from the left edge of the page to the imageable area.

However what about the bottom and right margins? Where do I find this information?
What should the PageSize property of the DocumentPaginator be set to? Should I set this from capabilities.PageImageableArea? Or does the dialog.Print() function set this, and i just need to read from it in GetPage()?
Finally, when I return a DocumentPage, what do I pass to the three geometry arguments pageSize, bleedBox and contentBox?
Thanks :)

A: Ok it seems that printing always occurs from (0, 0) (top left) of the paper.
Get the size of the paper with:
printDialog.PrintableAreaWidth, printDialog.PrintableAreaHeight

and the top and left margins with:
var printCapabilities = printDialog.PrintQueue.GetPrintCapabilities(printDialog.PrintTicket);
printCapabilities.PageImageableArea.OriginWidth, printCapabilities.PageImageableArea.OriginHeight

I assumed that the bottom and right margins were the same as the top and left, although this may not be safe.
You have to scale and clip the canvas as you normally would, then apply a TranslateTransform the size of your margins to move the content in to the printable area.

A: Have you looked at using a FlowDocument instead of just printing the Canvas? there is a good example of creating and printing Here.
Hopefully that would negate the need for a lot of the Math.

The wonderful Piazza dei Miracoli, Pisa
posted by on March 11th, 2015
The wonderful Piazza dei Miracoli, also known as the Square of Miracles in Pisa is likely one of the most famous landmarks in the world. The square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, is not located in the city center as you might imagine, but it is situated northwest of the fortified wall of the city. The the Square of Miracles has been considered central to religious life since the Etruscan time: the three structures that it comprises, symbolize the main stages of a human's life: The Baptistery represents birth, the Cathedral life and the Cemetery, of course, alludes to death.
And what about the Tower of Pisa? Well, we have not forgotten it! The so-called Leaning Tower is actually part of the Cathedral, being its Bell Tower.
The square is surrounded by a beautiful green lawn where tourists and students can lie down and relax in this historical setting of rare beauty. The name "Square of Miracles" was given only after the First World War , when the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio in the last novel "Maybe, maybe not" credits it with these words: "The Ardea rotated over the sky of Christ, over the meadow of Miracles".
Its building began in the XI century and, after various changes, it was completed only in the XIX century, when the architect Alessandro Gherardesca gave the square its final present appearance. The latest changes have been done in the Fascist era: the monument Lupa di Rome was built and 17 cypress were planted, in memory of the militants died during the War.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta
Emblem of the Pisan Romanesque, designed by the architect Bruscheto in 1604, the Cathedral represents through its splendor the influence of different styles and cultures. Byzantine and Islamic components testify the richness of the Maritime Republic of Pisa in the past; pay attention to the columns in the Cathedral and you will certainly remember those typical of the mosques.
Despite the fire of 1956, in the Cathedral are preserved many important works of art, including a mosaic by Cimabue, a masterpiece of Giovanni Pisano and works of Beccafumi and Andrea del Sarto.
The Baptistery
The works for the construction of the Baptistery, which is the largest in Italy, began in 1152 under the direction of the architect Diotislavi. Positioned in front of the Cathedral, it was entirely revisited by Nicola Pisano and his son Giovanni in the mid XIII century. They both modified it following the Gothic style and added a loggia and a hemispherical dome. At the center of the Baptistery there is the baptismal font by Guido Bigarelli from Arogno, originally lit by a light coming from an opening in the ceiling, now covered by the Dome. The Pulpit by Nicola Pisano (1255-1260) recounts scenes from the Life of Christ on five panels, while the columns represent the Virtues. We can clearly perceive a classical style in the work, not surprisingly Nicola Pisano is entitled a precursor of the Renaissance.
The Leaning Tower
The beginning of the construction of the Tower dates back to 1173 and its slope is due to the land where it was built, which is not perpendicular and subject to constant failures. 55 meters high, it has a slope of 5° south and to reach the top you have to climb 294 steps. The tower was closed to public from 1990 to 2001 due to stability problems.
The Graveyard
The Camposanto is an ancient monumental cemetery located north of the Square of Miracles. It has a rectangular structure with an inner cloister in Gothic arches. Following the tradition, the cemetery was built around a good quantity of Holy Land, coming from the place where Jesus Crist was crucified. In the meadow at the center of the cloister there are numerous tombs and sarcophagi of the Roman age, while in the floor of the corridor there are the tombs of the nobles families of Pisa. Here you can admire many works of art including the Pulpit by Giovanni Pisano, the lamp of Galileo Galilei, frescoes by Benozzo, Gozzoli, Buonamico Buffalmacco with the famous "The Triumph of Death", the Tabernacle of Della Robbia and many others.
The city offers many beautiful monuments, churches and museums to visit, but the Square of Miracles itself is worth travelling to Pisa. The beauties preserved in the square are numerous, you'll need a day to discover them all inside. So, what are you waiting for?

Pompeii's Ashes. The Reception of the Cities Buried by Vesuvius in Literature, Music, and Drama.
posted by on March 3rd, 2015
March 2015 is the launch of Eric Moormann's new work of literature, Pompeii's Ashes. Although many novels have been written on Pompeii and Herculaneum, none of them can be compared to Moormann's study.
In this book, the author encompasses the entire spectrum of material related to the reception of Pompeii in popular imagination. Pompeii's Ashes studies an extensive variety of documents, from travelogues between 1740 and 2010 to fictions, stage works, music a and films.
The work focuses on the many ways Pompeii and Herculaneum feature in fiction, drama, music, and cinema and shows how interest in the oldest running archaeological projects in the world continue until now. It begins with in-depth analysis of the excavation history and an overview of the reflections of travelers.
The novel continues with discussions of travelers' reports and their depiction in historical novels, contemporary and time traveling adventures, and works dedicated to Vesuvius.
"Pompeii's Ashes" demonstrates how the eternal fascination with the oldest still-running archaeological projects in the world began, developed, and will continue forever.

I had seen her around and chatted with her a few times when we walked our dogs, and had thought more than once that it might be nice to get to know her better, so I was pleased when I saw that we would be working together and hoped that we might become friends (and nothing else: we are both straight women) ...

MY LIFE WITH PLANTS: Lan Su Garden in Portland Oregon
By Jim Bishop.
In May of this year, I was fortunate to be able to attend the Pacific Horticulture Society tour of the gardens in the Portland, Oregon area. The gardens of the Pacific Northwest are spectacular in the spring and summer, and if you've never been, you should plan a trip. The tour included many beautiful private gardens and nurseries stuffed with perennials, flowering shrubs, and annuals. We were there for the peak bloom of both the irises and peonies, two plants that are difficult for us to grow in San Diego. We also visited several public gardens, including the world-famous International Rose Test Garden and the recently updated Portland Japanese Garden. But the garden that really impressed me was the Lan Su Chinese Garden in downtown Portland.
Chinese Tea House and Lake Zither, Lan Su Garden, Portland, Oregon
By public garden standards, it is a small garden covering just one square urban block. Having been completed in 2000, it is a new garden, especially compared to the Ming Dynasty gardens in China that it replicates. It is considered one of the most authentic Chinese gardens outside of China. The Jiangsu Province of China is famous for its classical gardens in the Suzhou region, with a tradition of walled gardens going back at least 1000 years. The gardens were mostly built by scholars and feature constructed landscapes mimicking natural scenery of rocks, hills, and rivers with strategically located pavilions and pagodas. Art, stones, statues, and artisans of Suzhou were brought to Portland to recreate a classical Suzhou-style scholar garden.
In the garden, serpentine mosaic pathways lead to harmonious landscapes of plants, water, stones, pavilions, and poetry. The collection includes hundreds of native Chinese plant species and forms. The garden has more than ninety specimen trees, many rare and unusual shrubs and perennials, including magnolias, cymbidiums, camellias, osmanthus, rhododendron, and bamboo. Walking through the garden, it presents itself as a series of rooms. Walls and plants create well planned views, hidden views, and vignettes giving the garden a much larger feeling of space. Windows and doorways in classical Chinese style entice you to explore further to see what is around the next corner. Every space in the garden has something to look at, including the amazing craftsmanship of the garden.
The Painted Boat Pagoda
Lake Zither is the largest focal point in the garden. It is backed by a collection of upright Chinese stones symbolizing mountains. Viewing decks on one side of the lake provide seating to contemplate the view and for scholarly thinking.
"Lan" is the Chinese word for "Orchid" and "Su" is the word for "Arise" or "Awaken," so the garden's name is poetically interpreted as "Garden of Awakening Orchids." Next time you visit Portland, be sure and drop by for a visit. To learn more and schedule a trip, see: lansugarden.org.

The dancing uncle video has become viral on the social media now. A video of a man dancing alongside a lady has now gone viral. Professor Sanjeev Shrivastava who is seen in the dancing video was even covered by the media for his super cool moves and grooves.
Sanjeev Srivastava had revealed that the inspiration behind his super cool dance is actor Govinda. Somehow, the news has reached actor Govinda, who is in London currently. Govinda has seen the video and also replied to Sanjeev. "I finally saw the videos of this man dancing. I really liked the way he dances. More than a dozen heroes have copied my dance style, but no one has ever done with so much perfection", said Govinda. Seems the dancing man is content, as his inspirational actor himself has given him a compliment now.


FT. LAUDERDALE, FLA. — The Bermuda Triangle legend lives on.
Experts Friday probed the ghostly hulk of a World War II-era airplane discovered deep in the Everglades, but couldn`t determine for certain whether the plane was part of the ill-fated ``Lost Patrol`` that left the Ft. Lauderdale Naval Air Station on Dec. 5, 1945, and flew into oblivion.
No tail number nor engine serial numbers could be found amid the wreckage of the Grumman Avenger, which authorities suspected might have been part of the missing five-plane Naval patrol that spawned tales of a Bermuda Triangle into which planes fly, never to be heard from again.
The wreckage lay hidden for decades until a recent brush fire cleared part of the Everglades and made the old plane visible to a Broward sheriff`s pilot on a routine drug interdiction flight.
The searchers Friday found no human remains at the site about a mile north of Alligator Alley some 10 miles west of the Broward tollbooth on the Alley.
Along with helicopter pilot Bob Lester were naval historians eager to learn whether the plane belonged to Flight 19, a group of five Avengers that disappeared on a 1945 training flight from Ft. Lauderdale Naval Air Station. The so-called ``Lost Patrol`` mystery is the cornerstone of the legend of the Bermuda Triangle, a region off the Florida coast said to have caused the mysterious disappearance of numerous planes and ships.
Former Navy flight instructor David White led search missions the day after the squadron disappeared. He said Friday he doesn`t believe Flight 19 ended in the Everglades.
``We were training for (aircraft) carriers,`` the Detroit-area businessman said. ``We did over-water navigation. You never flew over the Everglades unless you were going out to `chase alligators` `` - fly at low altitude.
``Ten to one, I bet this isn`t one of them from Flight 19,`` he said.
Lester, the sheriff`s pilot who found the wreckage May 30, had tried to identify the plane. He notified the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board, but neither had a record of an accident in the area.
A Navy researcher told Lester that many airplanes were lost during World War II training missions from the Naval Air Station, now Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
``But the (Navy) curator said that whenever there was a crash, they almost always found the wreckage and brought it back in,`` Lester said.

Realism and Fairness About Race
Derek Turner interviews Jared Taylor, author and editor of American Renaissance
Right Now, August-September 2004
Can you tell us when and why American Renaissance was founded, and the subsequent history of the magazine?
I started AR in 1990 for what many would consider radical or even dangerous purposes: to encourage whites to think of their interests in explicitly racial terms, to recognize that every other race in the United States does so instinctively, and to understand that if whites alone fail to act as a group, they jeopardize their long-term survival as a distinct people with a distinct culture and way of life.
Needless to say, this is not a message welcomed by the establishment. However, ordinary Americans increasingly understand the crisis our country faces. AR has now been publishing monthly for nearly 14 years, and our readership continues to grow. Five years ago, we began distributing an electronic version of AR over the Internet, and this has greatly increased our overseas readership.
My association with the magazine has resulted in a certain notoriety and many radio and television appearances. I believe that the logical and moral force of the AR position is increasingly winning recognition despite ingrained and intense hostility to any form of racial consciousness on the part of whites.
Can you summarise your/AR's credo?
I would like to think that the AR credo is realism and fairness: realism in the sense that race is a central element in individual and group identity and must not be ignored; fairness in that there must be no double standards in racial or ethnic matters.
A number of policy conclusions derive from these positions. A realistic evaluation of race leads to the conclusion that race and culture are inseparable. Some individuals can fully embrace a culture established by people of a different race but most cannot. This is why race is the most volatile social fault line in any country and why the current dramas of 'tolerance', 'multiculturalism', 'inclusion', etc, are almost always about race.
The United States is a good example of the significance of race. Whites from many countries have largely assimilated — with some friction — to a majority Anglo-Saxon culture, but non-whites have not. Europe is now going through the same process, with one country after another discovering that when non-whites arrive in large numbers they congregate in unassimilable enclaves.
This raises the question of fairness. Whites are repeatedly told that they must make every effort to accommodate alien newcomers and even, if need be, see their nations redefined if non-white immigration requires this. Whites are told to prepare themselves psychologically to be outnumbered by non-whites, and even though this threatens to wash away the cultures and nationalities we love, anyone who resists dispossession is a moral inferior.
Just imagine the reverse process of whites pouring into Mexico or Pakistan, forcing their practices upon the natives and even demanding special treatment because they are minorities bearing the gift of 'diversity'. Imagine Mexican and Pakistani leaders telling their people demographic displacement is a good thing, and that new languages, religions, folkways and crime rates may seem alien but are precious sources of enrichment.
It is this one-sided advancement of non-whites into white territories that makes the current dynamic of race and immigration unacceptable and even dangerous to whites.
What else does New Century Foundation do, apart from publish AR every month?
We hold an international conference on race and immigration every two years, and we publish a small number of monographs and books. We also maintain a very active web page at www.amren.com.
What is your own family and political back-ground?
I am the child of missionaries to Japan, where I spent the first 16 years of my life. My parents were conventional liberals and so was I until about the age of 30.
What first drove you to take an interest in racial differences and immigration? Which academics, writers or philosophers have inspired you?
I spent a year travelling in west Africa, where I discovered that my liberal beliefs in racial and cultural equivalence were wrong. I also spent two years in Paris studying history and economics, and gradually came to the conclusion that the basic tenets of liberalism — that government can improve our lives, that environment is much more important than genetics, that all groups have the same potential, that men and women have similar natures — are wrong.
I have been much influenced by the work of James Burnham, Arthur Jensen, and Wilmot Robertson, but conversations over the years with other racially aware whites have probably influenced me more.
Do you believe hereditarian ideas are now becoming more widely acceptable?
Yes. The Blank Slate by Steven Pinker is a good example of this [Editor's Note: See review, RN 41]. The evidence for the influence of genes is now so overwhelming even liberals can no longer ignore it. This book, however, is an almost comical attempt by a liberal to try to reconcile the power of heredity with liberal positions that are fatally undermined by it. I suspect that the Watson-Skinner conviction that environment controls everything first foundered on sex differences. Many people understand that the failure of liberals and feminists to erase sex differences must mean there is a biological basis for them. It is more difficult for people to accept similar reasons for the clearly different social outcomes for racial and other groups, but that will come.
What policies should be adopted to solve or at least mitigate some of America's current race problems?
I have always recommended only two policies: an end to mass immigration, and the abolition of antidiscrimination laws. The population of the United States is increasing like that of a Third World country, mostly because of immigration. 90% of immigrants are unassimilable minorities who will bring divisiveness and tension. Population increase will also strain environment and infrastructure. There were 125m Americans in 1945, and no one thought the country under-populated. There are now about 290m of us, with about half a billion expected by 2070 or so. Ending immigration would stop this mad expansion. As for anti-discrimination laws, private citizens should have the right to choose employees, schoolmates, or neighbours for good reasons, bad reasons or no reason at all — just as they choose their spouses.
There is increasing interest in 'immigration reform' within Republican circles. What do you think of these various initiatives? And what do you think of Ralph Nader's new-found interest in immigration?
Among Republicans, aside from the invaluable efforts of Congressman Tom Tancredo of Colorado, 'immigration reform' amounts to nothing more than common-sense resistance to President Bush's amnesty plan for illegal immigrants. Ralph Nader seems to oppose immigration mainly because it depresses wages for poor blacks. Indeed it does, and I support all restrictionists, whatever their reasoning.
AR has, inevitably, been denounced by the ultra-Left Southern Poverty Law Center as a "hate group". But what is the attitude of American conservatives — not just towards AR specifically, but also on race differences more generally?
I don't think it is possible to give a comprehensive answer. Even among 'conservatives' (a term sadly in search of a meaning), there is much resistance to a realistic understanding of race. If they were sure their words would never be repeated, I suspect perhaps 50% of the people who vote Republican would either acknowledge racial differences or, though bothered by the thought, accept them as a possibility. Of this number, only a handful are willing to take a public position on race that differs substantially from that of Democrats.
Has there been a discernible change in US conservative attitudes on race in recent decades? What has caused this?
"Recent decades" is a stretchy formulation. If it includes the 1950s, National Review wrote very sensibly on race. Its positions were little different from those of American Renaissance today. During the 1960s, '70s, and '80s there was a massive retreat from commonsense. Since that time there has been a very slow recovery, but at nothing like the pace of the rout. Egalitarian dogma rules America, just as it does Britain, and dissent is still dangerous and disagreeable.
Does modern genetic science complement traditional conservative or religious thinking about human nature? If so, how?
I think it complements traditional conservatism almost across the board. Both traditional conservatives and (the more outspoken) evolutionary biologists agree on the following: Men and women differ in temperament and ability. People are born with distinctive traits not easily changed by society. Race and race differences are real. People are tribal, and do not easily feel loyalty to humanity at large.
Even more fundamentally, both sides agree that there is such a thing as human nature and it is folly to try to remake man. An acceptance of this premise would have forestalled not just the calamity of communism but virtually every liberal project since the French Revolution. Horror upon horror has been committed in the name of perfecting man. Conservatives — and now students of the power of genetics — accept that many of our faults cannot be corrected, and that societies that accept these faults are far more successful than those that try to wish them away or forcibly extirpate them.
Selfishness is a good example. Capitalism recognizes that self-interest is the most powerful engine of economic progress. Collectivism fails because it pretends self-interest can be overcome. Some day there will be equal acceptance of man's tribal nature, and governments will stop thinking it somehow a virtue to force citizens to live with people utterly unlike themselves.
When you are not fomenting intergalactic 'hate', what are your other interests?
I have two great interests: my family and music. Fatherhood has been more rewarding to me than anything else — and I expected it to be a bother and a pest. European populations are declining, in part because Europeans are self-centred and think children are too much trouble. If only for our own survival, we must once again promote the view that children are one of life's highest rewards. I might not have believed that until I had children of my own, but it is true. As for music, I play clarinet in a symphony orchestra and a woodwind quintet, and saxophone in a dance band. Making music is, for me, a joy that purges the mind of all else. Musicians reportedly live longer than non-musicians. If that is true, it must be because immense mental pleasure has physical benefits!

At first, i did a modprobe -r module; modprobe module to reload the driver, and to reset the stats but after which it tells me that eth1 device is not present anymore on the system.
I can't say for sure if it's a NIC issue because this happens to multiple servers. But a reboot solves the problem. Any ideas?

Every Single One: The Politicized Hiring of Eric Holder's Disability Rights Section
By Richard Pollock 2011-09-02T03:00:35
PJMedia's ongoing series investigating the politicized hiring practices within the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department has exposed a liberal litmus test that applies for all new hires. Since Attorney General Eric Holder assumed control of the Department in January 2009, he has created a monoculture composed almost exclusively of left-liberal activists. It's clear that aspiring attorneys with moderate or mainstream legal backgrounds face a "Do Not Apply" sign at the Department -- a public department which is supposed to represent all Americans.
PJMedia needed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to extract the resumes identifying the new attorneys, and it is easy to see why the "Most Transparent Administration in History" fought so hard against their release. Indeed, their effort to populate every nook and cranny of the Division with agenda-driven activist attorneys is unprecedented.
Today's installment of our series focuses on the Disability Rights Section, whose primary responsibility is to enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The jurisdictional reach of the Section is vast; it monitors not only businesses but non-profits, local and state government, and even the practices of the federal government itself. The Section's own website boasts that its work "affect[s] six million businesses and non-profit agencies, 80,000 units of state and local government, 49 million people with disabilities, and over 100 Federal agencies and commissions in the Executive Branch."
The ADA is a signature achievement, and there is no doubt that it has helped to positively transform the lives of millions of Americans. I know, as I run a workshop each month for the mentally handicapped at a non-profit center outside Washington, D.C. The obligation of private sector employers and public sector municipalities to accommodate the needs of the disabled, however, must be balanced against what is financially reasonable and pragmatically appropriate. That need for balance is why an influx of partisan advocates can result in setbacks for an entire society.
The transformation within the Disability Rights Section explains why we see patently ridiculous enforcement dictates, such as threatening several prestigious universities with legal action because they took part in an experimental program to allow students to use the Amazon Kindle for textbooks.
Nine new career attorneys have been hired into the Disability Rights Section during the Obama administration. Just as is the case with each of the other sections that have been highlighted so far in this PJMedia series -- the Voting Section, the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices, the Special Litigation Section, the Education Section, the Employment Litigation Section, the Coordination and Compliance and Section, and the Housing and Civil Enforcement Section -- every single one of the new Disability Rights Section lawyers easily satisfies a liberal litmus test.
Anne Langford: Ms. Langford, a $500 contributor to Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, joins the Section following internships with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) and the liberal Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Although she spent a number of years at a private law firm, she proudly notes on her resume that she was the firm's representative to the Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights (WLCCR), co-chaired multiple "Associate to Associate Campaigns" to support the WLCCR, and served as an associate trustee of the organization.
Earlier in her career, she was teaching fellow and protégé of the militant Professor Lani Guinier at Harvard, whose views were so radical that President Clinton pulled her nomination as assistant attorney general for civil rights. Although it does not touch on legal issues, she also was a senior fellow at an advocacy organization called Humanity in Action, which states that it "educates, inspires and connects a global network of students, young professionals and established leaders committed to promoting human rights, diversity and active citizenship -- in their own communities and around the world."
Jennifer McDannell: Ms. McDannell comes to the Section after working at a large law firm that recently imploded. If she was typical of other attorneys at her firm, the extraordinary amount of time that she spent on pro bono matters there may help explain the firm's demise. She represented both individuals and classes in lawsuits against state and federal agencies involving employment matters, police misconduct allegations, disability disputes, housing controversies, and purported unequal credit quarrels. One has to wonder if she actually had any time for paying clients.
Almost immediately after arriving at DOJ, she helped lead a lawsuit against the financially strapped city of Milton, Washington (population: 6,900). The lawsuit would force the small town to spend ten percent of its annual budget for a single bathroom in a park. The Department ignored pleas from the city that its economic plight was grounds for a reexamination of the lawsuit. Instead, the Department mandated that the municipality spend more than $350,000 to build a bathroom in the city's main park. The per capita income for the impoverished town is $22,400.
An article in the Tacoma News Tribune described the city's plight as follows:
An attorney for Milton pleaded with the Department of Justice in March to allow the city to tear down the shuttered restroom building and not replace it. Attorney Scott Snyder contended the city should not be forced to replace the men's and women's restrooms because of Milton's "dire" economic situation. The restroom cost could reach 10 percent of Milton's total annual budget, Snyder said. Milton has laid off workers, cut its budget and outsourced some city services in the past year to cope with declining revenues. The city projects a deficit of nearly $5 million by 2015. But the Department of Justice said the ADA requires that the city's programs, services and activities must be accessible to people with disabilities.
One has to wonder if someone at the Justice Department has heard there is a recession underway. It appears there is no room for compromise under Eric Holder's governance.

Q: Can I use AspectJ / AOP to install compile time access rules between Java classes beyond the normal visibility rules? We are currently working on setting up a service layer oriented structure, persistence manager as the lowest layer, service classes on top. The persistence managers would do all the basic things on entities like create, update, find one, find all, filter, sort etc.
The services would contain the minimal viable business logic for the entity.
We would now want to implement the rule that managers must not access other managers, services need to perform the work across managers.
The Java type system with its visibility rules do not provide for this, though - private/protected is valid globally, not just for other managers, the managers need to be visible to other services.
So we though about AOP that would surely enable access restrictions between classes, but we would like the rules to be considered compile time, not run time.
It seems - not had the possibility to look into this in depth - that AspectJ provides for compile time AOP, but does that include compile time access restrictions between classes as described above?
Any hint on this would help us to decide quickly whether to pursue that path at all or not.
Thank you!

A: You can use AspectJ compile-time weaving, indeed. Take a look at the declare warning and declare error statements which are described here and here. For a more precise answer including actual aspect code I would need to know your package  and maybe class naming structure.

Ronnie Tjampitjinpa was born in 1943 in Tjiturrunya, about 100km west of the Kintore ranges in Western Australia. Following an extended drought in the 1950s, Ronnie's family moved to Haasts Bluff and then on to Papunya where he grew up.
Ronnie's style tends towards simple, geometric shapes and bold lines. He explores the themes of water dreaming, bushfire dreaming and the Tingari cycle. Tingari are the legendary beings of the Pintupi people that travelled the desert performing rituals, teaching law, creating landforms and shaping what would become ceremonial sites. As far as we can know, the meanings behind Tingari paintings are multi-layered, however, those meaning are not available to the uninitiated.
Ronnie Tjampitjinpa was the winner of the 1988 Alice Springs Art Prize and is shown in numerous major public and private galleries worldwide.


Willard and Mary Glidden were married Sept. 14, 1857.
Willard and Mary Glidden married 160 years ago this month. The dress that Mary made and wore in that 1857 wedding will be on display at the Glidden Homestead in DeKalb to celebrate the completion of an extensive preservation project funded by Mary's descendants. The dress joins other gowns handmade by Mary.
On Sunday, from noon to 4 p.m., visitors can talk with fashion curator Julie Claar who processed, preserved and cataloged the collection of garments in the Glidden Homestead collection. The central pieces of the collection include 19th-century dresses created by Mary McConnell Glidden, Joseph Glidden's sister-in-law.
Mary Glidden, besides being Annie Glidden's mother, was a talented seamstress who moved here from Philadelphia to marry Joseph Glidden's younger brother Willard. They married Sept. 14, 1857.
Willard owned a farm on Lincoln Highway just west of Annie Glidden Road. Mary made dresses in DeKalb and, after Willard's death in 1876, expanded her business to places she could reach by train.
Also on Sunday, visitors can tour the museum and the home where Joseph Glidden and his family lived when he created his most famous invention, see a working onsite blacksmith shop, and walk where Glidden walked. Glidden's brick barn, where archaeological excavation has just been completed, can be considered the monument for the invention of barbed wire, a symbol of innovation in the Midwest.
A full season of programs highlighting "Digging In" continues at the Glidden Homestead in 2017. A program listing can be found at www.gliddenhomestead.org/events.html.
The Glidden Homestead, at 921 W. Lincoln Highway, is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays or by special arrangement. Admission is $4 per adult and free for children younger than 14.


I'm excited to share with you a video about hot to make a DIY Dog Friendly Herbs Decoupage Planter. There are so many plants every where I shop, and nothing is better than fresh herbs! Did you know that parsley is not only dog friendly, but really great for your dog. It promotes fresh breath and is a great addition to homemade treats, or just sprinkled on top of dinner. The best part about growing herbs for your dog is that you can use them, too.
I hope you enjoy this DIY and make it your own with a bright and fun photo of your own dog. You can print the photo out on your own printer, which will work better for the decoupage than glossy photo paper. For the accent colors, be as creative as you'd like! You could paint a fun pattern or use a metallic to tie into your kitchen appliances. I can't wait to see the creativity you bring to this project!
Below is the video tutorial and a shopping list with links to all the supplies you'll need to create this for yourself. I've also included a PDF of the fresh breath parsley treat recipe I used on my planter. Lucy is a big fan of these treats, and I love how they give her slightly better dog breath!
