All or Nothing?

If you picked an Orthodox person off the streets of Lakewood or Monsey to describe the life of someone who has gone religiously astray, or "off the derech," they might describe the life of Larry, the flawed protagonist of Nathan Englander's latest novel, kaddish.com, though perhaps not in detail. The more sheltered would be unlikely to imagine "the everyday depravities filling the alternate reality that ate more and more of sad Larry's time." Counting the ways in which he has suffered during the shiva week for his father, Larry lists his foregone fleeting pleasures, congratulating himself for going almost a week, almost, without pornography.
For nearly a week, despite his small rebellions, he's smoked neither cigarette nor joint, he hasn't had a stiff drink (or three), he hasn't once sunk into the living-room couch to binge eat and binge watch, gorging on junk (visual and edible) until the stomach acid burned and his brain conked out.

Englander, whose earlier novels and short story collections established him as a creator of sharply drawn characters, has created in this protagonist both a cranky, curmudgeonly nebbish and a flat social type. Engrossed in his own loss, Larry is unwilling to undertake the commitment to say Kaddish for his father, a demand made clear to him by his still-frum sister Dina. This is 1999, in the midst of the first dot-com bubble, so Larry searches out kaddish.com, a website where Jews without the inclination to pray three times a day, seven days a week, for the elevation of the souls of their departed, can, for a fee, enlist those who would pray with regularity in any case, "like a JDate for the dead."
With the web form completed and the duty discharged, kaddish.com jumps to the present day, where Larry has returned to the fold, transformed from "sad Larry" to pious Shuli, "a seventh-grade Gemara teacher at the very yeshiva where he had gone," living in Brooklyn, married to Miri, father to a boy and a girl born just a year apart. He is now so frum that he requires the secretary of the school to print out emails from parents and type his replies for him; he does not allow himself temptations of modernity, not even a flip phone. The transformation—again a story of an easily recognizable type—is seen only in hindsight, as Shuli tells his story of "coming home" both to inspire those who might be poised to make a similar move as well as to prove to the faithful the rightness of their choices.
As Englander no doubt knows, it is impossible to read kaddish.com without thinking of his own well-publicized background as a yeshiva student who turned away from Orthodoxy. It is similarly impossible not to contrast the tenderness with which Englander draws his Orthodox characters in the present novel with the pointedly harsh judgments of Orthodox characters in the stories that made him famous, from the hypocritical Rabbi Baum of "Reunion" to the lying, grasping Ruchama of "The Wig" in his debut story collection, For the Relief of Unbearable Urges. In this new book, the Orthodox characters are, while flawed in ordinary human ways, patient, understanding people.
To reduce kaddish.com to a middle-aged Englander working out his own issues with Judaism and coming to a mature accommodation would be too easy, but it is difficult for a reader to ignore the breadcrumbs. Here is Reb Shuli talking to a student who is testing the limits of observance:
"Because with rebellion, it can also be a way to acknowledge the importance of the thing we rebel against." Reb Shuli stops himself there, but Gavriel doesn't respond.
"What I'm trying to say is, sometimes the rejection is a way to let people know that the thing we reject truly matters. It is its own kind of faith, even if it's the opposite of faith."
In pitting secularism against religiosity as all-or-nothing propositions and in dividing the book so sharply into two sections, Englander administers what he has often called a fictional Rorschach test, and perhaps readers who are further than I am from the streets of Lakewood will read it differently. But he has also said that as a reader, he himself revels in contradiction. As he told Ted Hodgkinson in an interview for Granta:
It fascinates me how an individual has to hold so many opposing realities in his or her head simply in order to survive. I've been using the phrase "bifurcated brain" for this; by which I mean a person's ability to believe something and its contrary at the same time. When I think back on the short stories that have had a profound impact on me—whether it's Philip Roth's "The Conversion of the Jews," or "Goodbye and Good Luck" by Grace Paley or "The Story of My Dovecot" by Isaac Babel—they all leave me with a sense of those conflicting realities being challenged.
In kaddish.com, Englander creates his own conflicting realities. How, for example, are we to experience Dina's heartbreaking plea that her brother be the one to say Kaddish?
"You don't have to be religious," his sister says. "You don't have to believe. You can think nothing and feel nothing and eat your cheeseburgers every meal." . . . "But you can't skip a minyan. Not once. Not ever. It's what our father expects—what he expects right now from Olam HaBa. Because it's that alone, what you do, what you say, that sets for our father the best conditions in the World to Come."
How can these prayers mean so much to her, and how can they possibly mean anything to God, if she knows Larry will recite them resentfully as a litany of meaningless syllables? And how are we to reconcile the real and recognizable kindness and warmth of the Orthodox world Englander evokes with the violent and callous yeshiva rebbe who hit young Larry so hard for not being able to answer a question that he was left with a permanent scar?
And how, finally, are we to understand Larry/Shuli himself? If Englander is right that human survival is predicated on not choosing but on holding open the possibility that two opposites are true, then perhaps a selfish porn addict indifferent to his only sister's grief can become a loving family man, a caring teacher who deals sensitively with his students' transgressions, large and small. And perhaps this upright model of Jewish propriety can, when the plot propels him from his yeshiva to sleeping rough on the streets of Jerusalem in an attempt to finally fulfill his obligation to his father, still be so impulsive that he threatens the life he has built. As far as Shuli has traveled, he is still, to some extent, "sad Larry," wearing different clothes, pursuing different goals, but still chafing at imposed obligations, still tending toward excessive monomania, and still willing to upend the life of others to pursue his own obsessive desires.
kaddish.com is a small novel, easily read, but Englander has nested inside it questions within questions and opposites within opposites.

What Could Explain Soybeans' Low Stock-to-Use Ratio?
By Adam Jones
Soybeans' stock-to-use
So far in this series, we have discussed the global stock-to-use ratio for corn and wheat, which are two of the most important crop commodities globally. With soybeans, these three comprise the largest fertilizer-consuming crops globally.
Let's look at the soybean stock-to-use ratio for June 2016 and how it has trended over the years.
Ratio bottoms
In June 2016, the global soybean stock-to-use ratio stood at 20.2%, which was at its lowest point compared to the past four years, as shown in the chart above. This is unlike the position for corn and wheat, which have higher stock-to-use ratios compared to their respective previous four years.
Soybean inventory
With the global soybean stock-to-use ratio hitting its lowest point, we must look at what's happening on its inventory front. According to the USDA, global soybean inventory stood at 66 million metric tons in 2016, which was about 29% lower than the previous year's inventory of 93 million metric tons.
While the global soybean inventory is significantly smaller year-over-year, it stood at 82 million metric tons in 2014 and 75 million metric tons in 2013.
About 15% of Monsanto's (MON) revenue in 2015 came from soybean seeds and traits, and about 39.7% of revenue came from corn seeds and traits. In 2015, about 12% of Syngenta's (SYT) revenue came from its Corn and Soybean Seeds business.
Investors in these companies (NANR), as well as fertilizer companies such as Intrepid Potash (IPI) and CF Industries (CF), must track these two commodities and their prices.
In the final article of this series, we'll discuss soybean prices.

THE FEAR OF CYBER ATTACKS, THE GOVERNMENT, AND THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY
February 27, 2015 March 2, 2015 arengel
In response to a series of major data breaches at US companies in recent months including Sony, Anthem and Target, President Obama unveiled a series of cyber security proposals in his last State of the Union address in January. Obama followed up on this declaration of intent by signing a new executive order during the Summit on Cybersecurity and Consumer Protection organized by the White House at Stanford University in February.
Obama's executive order encourages the development of Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations ("ISAOs"), providing legal-liability protection to make it easier for businesses and government to share online threat data specific to their industry or geographic region. The order also increases the role of the Department of Homeland Security in the data-sharing process by permitting it to enter into agreements and coordinate the ISAOs.
Mr. Obama's renewed focus on cyber security has been mostly welcomed by the tech industry, however, the president continues to encounter some of the same suspicions over the privacy of online data that were so effectively highlighted by the Edward Snowden revelations about the NSA in 2013. Although Cyber terrorism is a reality, the concern is that unless there is a balancing between governmental intrusion and the individual's right to privacy, people's rights will be violated as they have in the past.
The right to privacy has been affected previously by extraordinary events around the world such as terrorism. While society has not been willing to sacrifice individual civil liberties lightly, it has done so in circumstances where the prevalent belief was that personal security has been threatened. In recent times, surveillance regimes that have been adopted as anti-terrorism measures have had a profound, chilling effect on other fundamental human rights.
The most drastic change affecting privacy in the laws of the United States occurred in response to the 9/11 attacks, when President Bush signed into law the anti-terrorism statute titled Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism, more commonly known as the USA PATRIOT Act. Among other things, the Patriot Act expanded the wiretapping and electronic surveillance powers of federal law enforcement authorities, and increased the information-sharing powers of investigative agencies. It also allowed law enforcement to demand libraries, bookstores, and businesses to produce tangible items, such as papers, books, and records, about persons of interest, while forbidding disclosure of such a demand. It further authorized searches conducted without giving contemporaneous notice of the search or an actual warrant for the search.
At the end of 2005, an article appeared on the front page of the New York Times chronicling widespread monitoring of telephonic and Internet communications by the NSA—National Security Agency. These intercepts occurred with the direct authorization President Bush, and were undertaken without approval or oversight by the judiciary, beginning shortly after the 9/11 terrorists attacks. This wide-ranging program targeted interception of email and telephone calls with the number of those targeted ranging from the hundreds to possibly thousands. The effect of such wholesale violation of the right to privacy caused uproar among regular citizens who thought that such governmental intrusion on their personal affairs was overreaching and unwarranted.
Acts of terrorism and a fear for our personal security have historically intersected the privacy protections recognized by governments, and at times, served to take a few steps back in the universal recognition of the right to privacy. However, the government's unsound arguments positing that the only way to offer protection was to infringe in our right to privacy have not been successful in the long term. People have recognized the obvious flaw with the proposition that there must be a trade off between privacy and security. Our willingness to sacrifice our privacy for security has been short-lived, and eventually, the tide has had to turn back by popular demand.
Upon further reflection and discourse on the effect of excessively curtailing civil liberties, the conclusion must be that a balance between security and respect for human rights is necessary in a civilized society. The two are not mutually exclusive; it is possible to demand cyber security and the protection of the right to privacy at the same time. The government must be very careful not to institute measures that will encroach on peoples' hard fought civil liberties. The efforts made by Obama through his new initiative must carefully be monitored so that the right to privacy of individuals is sufficiently protected both by government and private entities.

ABOUT TIME, MR. PRESIDENT
March 31, 2014 arengel
Last year, Edward J. Snowden, a former N.S.A. contractor outlined the existence of a massive effort by the U.S. National Security Agency to track cell phone calls and monitor the e-mail and Internet traffic of virtually all Americans. The secret call records program — known as the "215 Program", after Section 215 of the Patriot Act — was part of the secret surveillance program that President George W. Bush unilaterally put in place after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
In 2006, as part of a broader Bush administration effort to counteract terrorism, the Justice Department persuaded the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (also known as the FISA Court) to begin authorizing the program. It claimed that Section 215, which allows the F.B.I. to obtain court orders for business records deemed "relevant" to an investigation, could be interpreted as allowing the N.S.A. to systematically collect domestic calling records in bulk, as potentially relevant to some ongoing investigations. The government lauded the usefulness of the tool although it was unable to point to any thwarted terrorist attacks that would have been carried out if the program had not existed.
The details of the program exposed by Snowden created a great deal of debate and consternation nationally and internationally, with the Obama administration receiving a great deal of criticism for allowing such a wholesale intrusion on privacy rights. Shortly thereafter, President Obama decided to appoint a review group and an independent federal privacy watchdog to review the program. They both concluded that major changes to the program were needed; the latter also indicating that the bulk collection was illegal, rejecting the government's Patriot Act interpretation.
Last week the Obama administration announced that it is preparing to unveil a legislative proposal for a far-reaching overhaul of the National Security Agency's once-secret bulk phone records program in a way that — if approved by Congress — would stop the collection the information, known as metadata, which lists millions of phone calls made in the United States.
Under the new proposal, the government would have to get permission from the FISA Court to review data about the time and duration of telephone calls that it believes may be connected to terror attacks. The bulk records would stay in the hands of phone companies, which would not be required to retain the data for any longer than they normally would. The N.S.A. could still obtain specific records, but only with permission from a judge, using a new kind of court order. The new plan would also allow the government to swiftly seek related records for callers up to two phone calls, or "hops," removed from the number that has come under suspicion, even if those callers are customers of other companies.
Although some have expressed concern over how the records would be handled by employees at the telephone companies who might be asked to search the data in response to a government request, it is expected that safeguards would be put in place to avoid breaches of privacy.
Most critics of the old bulk data collection program think that this new initiative is a step in the right direction on the protection of privacy rights, and a compromise that still allows the government important investigative tools while decreasing the opportunity for abuse.

Judo main menu
Four-time Paralympic judo champion Antônio Tenório is set to compete at his seventh Paralympics after being named as part of Brazil's squad for Tokyo 2020.
The Brazilian Paralympic Committee (CPB) has announced that a delegation of 253 athletes, including 159 men and 94 women, competing in 20 sports, will travel to the Japanese capital for the Games.
It is set to be Brazil's second largest Paralympic team behind the Rio 2016 delegation which comprised of 286 athletes.
Tenório, who made his first Paralympic appearance at Atlanta 1996, headlines an eight-strong Brazilian judo team for Tokyo 2020.
He marked his debut with a gold medal before topping the podium at Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008.
The 2011 Parapan American Games champion also won bronze at London 2012 and silver at Rio 2016 to continue his record of winning a medal at every Paralympics he has attended.
World champion Alana Maldonado, who claimed silver at Rio 2016, has also been selected along with Lúcia Araújo, Willians Silva, Meg Emmerich, Arthur Silva, Harlley Arruda and Thiego.

"It's an experienced group, the vast majority went to one or two Paralympic Games," said coach Fábio Vasconcelos.
"We have a mix of athletes who are transitioning from youth teams, like Tiago Paraná and Jardiel, with a player like Damião, who I know he solves what he needs at the time and is very well physically, as well as Jefinho, Ricardinho, Guegueu, who is perhaps in his best phase.
"We are going strong to fight for another medal, for sure".
The CPB has also named five athletes for archery, seven for canoeing, seven for tennis, five for cycling, 10 for boccia, two for equestrian, 14 for table tennis and eight for rowing, while Alexandre Galgani will be Brazil's lone sport shooter.
"Even with all the difficulties imposed by the pandemic, we are optimistic about a large participation in Tokyo," said Alberto Martins da Costa, CPB's technical director.
"Athletics travels with its second largest delegation, second only to the Rio 2016 Olympics.
"In swimming and weightlifting, the athletes called up are among the eight best in the world ranking, which fills us with hope and optimism in the search for great results".
CPB President Mizael Conrado added: "We were all prepared a year ago when the pandemic came and the athletes' dream was postponed.
"The pandemic is still going on, however, we hope it is moving forward to its end and that the Paralympic Games be a great lever and represent a recovery of our peoples, since sport means resilience and self-esteem".
Brazil achieved 72 medals at Rio 2016, including 14 golds, 29 silvers and 29 bronzes.

laceVerb is Dasample's first attempt to implement its work on Residual Vector Modulation (RVM) in a VST format plug-in. RVM is a proprietary algorithm developed to calculate the deformations, vibrations and the acoustic response of surfaces and materials.
Imagine a big orchestra playing in a giant box builded with thin metal sheets. As the panels are not very rigid, the box will vibrate according to the energy of music and produce an audible spectral deformation. The RVM algorithm simulate such deformations and vibrations and apply them to the original signal.
GlaceVerb can also model liquid acoustic spaces like water. Unlike other reverbs with presets named Room, Cathedral, Stadium etc., GlaceVerb is designed to be very easy to use and comes with 64 presets designed for real musical situations (including presets for final mix, strings, piano, vocal tracks, drums, percussions and ultra transparent presets for mastering).
GlaceVerb is available now as a free download.

VANADIUM PENTOXIDE FUME
CAS: 1314-62-1; Chemical Formula: V2O5
OSHA's former PEL for vanadium pentoxide fume was 0.1 mg/m3 as a ceiling limit. The Agency proposed to revise this limit to 0.05 mg/m3 as an 8-hour TWA, based on the ACGIH recommendation. OSHA is establishing this limit in the final rule.
Vanadium pentoxide fume's chief toxic effects are manifested in the respiratory passages: bronchitis, emphysema, tracheitis, pulmonary edema, and bronchial pneumonia can result from exposure. According to Hudson (1964/Ex. 1-880), vanadium is poisonous to all animals by all routes of administration. The LD(50) in rabbits injected intravenously is 1.5 mg/kg, and rats fed 25 ppm demonstrated toxic responses within a short time (Hudson 1964/Ex. 1-880).
Seven cases of upper respiratory tract irritation were reported in boiler cleaners exposed to concentrations of from 2 to 85 mg/m3 vanadium pentoxide fume (Sjoberg 1951/Ex. 1-437). Williams (1952/Ex. 1-456) reported eight cases of vanadium poisoning in workers cleaning boilers in an atmosphere ranging from 30 to 104 mg/m3. Gul'ko (1956, as cited by Hudson 1964/Ex. 1-880) observed eye and bronchial irritation in workers exposed to 0.5 to 2.2 mg/m3. A study by Lewis (1959/Ex. 1-345) indicated that workers exposed to levels of 0.2 to 0.5 mg/m3 experienced a higher incidence of respiratory symptoms than did controls. Tebrock and Machle (1968/Ex. 1-446) reported that workers exposed to average concentrations of 1.5 mg/m3 vanadium pentoxide in a mixed dust developed conjunctivitis, tracheobronchitis, and dermatitis. A single average eight-hour exposure to 0.2 mg/m3 respirable vanadium dust caused severe upper respiratory tract irritation in five human volunteers, and two other subjects exposed to a 0.1-mg/m3 concentration also developed delayed cough and an increase in mucous production (Zenz and Berg 1967/Ex. 1-405).
NIOSH (Ex. 8-47, Table N7) recommended a 15-minute ceiling limit of 0.05 mg/m3 for vanadium fume as vanadium pentoxide. However, OSHA is concerned about cumulative exposures below the former 0.1 mg/m3 ceiling, and the Agency concludes that the TWA limit originally proposed will protect workers from the significant risks of eye, skin, and upper respiratory tract irritation; conjunctivitis; pulmonary damage; and systemic poisoning associated with exposure to vanadium pentoxide fume at even brief excursions to higher levels. The Agency considers these irritant and systemic effects to be material impairments of health. Accordingly, OSHA is establishing a PEL of 0.05 mg/m3 as an 8-hour TWA for this substance in today's rule.

Q: run time error using sort function The problem is group all anagrams in a string vector.
I wrote the code for it using sort function in C++, but I got run time error and I don't know what is wrong. Could you please help me with this? Thank you!
My code:
 bool  comp(string s1, string s2){
    sort(s1.begin(), s1.end());
    sort(s2.begin(), s2.end());
    return (s1<=s2);
    }
    vector<string> anagrams(vector<string> &strs) {
        if(strs.size()==0 || strs.size()==1) return strs;
        sort(strs.begin(), strs.end(), comp);
    }

A: When the size of the vector argument to anagrams is greater than 1 you don't return anything from the function even though the it's declared to return a vector.
That's undefined behaviour and likely the reason for the crash.
You don't need to return anything from the function as you're sorting the input.

A: First of all there shall be s1 < s2 instead of s1 <= s2 in function comp
bool  comp(string s1, string s2){
    sort(s1.begin(), s1.end());
    sort(s2.begin(), s2.end());
    return (s1 < s2);
    }

Frank MacKay was raised in the small towns of Nova Scotia. Born in New Glasgow, he lived in nearby Stellarton and as a boy of eleven moved to Truro. As he grew up his interest in music, and especially singing, eventually led Frank to the lead vocalist position with a Truro based dance band called The Lincolns. The group toured constantly throughout Atlantic Canada during the '60s and they developed a reputation that resulted in the band being called the greatest dance band that Eastern Canada ever produced. It was the powerhouse vocals of Frank MacKay that in no small measure catapulted the band to the status of legendary performers in early Atlantic Canadian rock and roll music.
As the '70s approached Frank became focused on recording and performing internationally. With a hand-picked band made up of some of the best musicians Nova Scotia had to offer him, Frank based the new unit, called SOMA, in Detroit, Michigan. Electrifying stage performances and three top ten records earned Frank and the band the international recognition they were after. They shared the stage throughout the '70s with groups like Chicago, Rod Stewart and Sly and The Family Stone. In reviewing SOMA, Peter Goddard of The Toronto Star described Frank's voice as being so powerful it could cut through a platinum slab.
As the '70s drew to a close Frank made the decision to stretch into other areas of the performance world. He auditioned and was selected for a role in the Neptune Theatre production of Equus. In the early '80s Frank renewed a professional association with long-time friend and Truro native, Canadian playwright John Gray. It was in the production of Don Messer's Jubilee that Frank thrilled audiences across Canada with his humorous, yet poignant, portrayal of Charlie Chamberlain.
John Gray's Rock and Roll, based on the formative years Frank spent in The Lincolns, had its premiere in Ottawa at the National Arts Centre. This great stage play was eventually made into a movie, The King of Friday Night, with Frank re-creating the role of Donnie Parker, a role that earned him an ACTRA nomination for Best Performance. Theatre patrons still remember Frank's stunning portrayal of Elvis Presley in the controversial Charlottetown Confederation Centre production of Are You Lonesome Tonight?
Whether as Don Quixote's comical sidekick Sancho Panza in Man of La Mancha, the musical genius that is Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living In Paris, or the coveted role of Jean Valjean in the critically acclaimed stage production of Les Miserables, Frank MacKay's incredible versatility continues to electrify discriminating audiences from one end of the country to the other.
Written By and Starring Frank MacKay
It has been written that all great literature has the family as its theme. Frank MacKay's one-man play, The Red Row, is a nostalgic remembrance of a time not too long ago. It is sentimental and old-fashioned and rich in family values. It is a story loaded with the painful truths of a hard life. Although it is very Maritime and as genuine as blackened coal, it is a tremendous piece that conveys universal topics from beginning to end. The play's gift to the audience is its homespun truth and its down-home humour.
The play takes its name from the row of double houses the mining company in Stellarton, Nova Scotia provided for its workers in the 1940's and 1950's. All of the houses were painted red. The Red Row is not only the story of the people who, at times, endured the misery of the years, it is also the story of the town. Stellarton was a major mining centre in North America for nearly 130 years and employed as many as 1500 men in four separate mines. The play allows the audience to understand a little of what happens when a region goes from the largest production of coal in North America to closure. Its people are not unaffected. Although its basis is Nova Scotian, the accounts could just as well be told by miners in Labrador City, Newfoundland; Cape Town, South Africa; Beckley, West Virginia or Pikeville, Kentucky. The themes played out in this story transcend any borders on a map.
The Red Row is a play delivered in story and in song. The play is evocative. There is nothing like a good story, especially a true one. The music in The Red Row is wonderful and varied. The audience is treated to ballads, Celtic jigs, comic numbers, a very moving hymn and the show stopping, Daddy Been Working on The Wall, with its faint hint of Sixteen Tons.
In the play Frank MacKay tells the story of his parents, although, it is really the story of how hardships affect any family who endures them. His father was a gambling miner who walked through the pre-dawn darkness into the mines when he was 12 and left years later when an explosion took away his left arm and led to an early death. His mother was an immaculate housekeeper who kept longer working hours than her husband and took over as breadwinner after his accident. There is a touching story of Frank's grandparents and their courtship. The audience gets a real sense of the times when it hears the story of Frank's next door neighbour who was blinded chopping wood and turned to moonshining to provide for his family. Life inside the mines is central to the story Frank delivers. Entering the mine before dawn and leaving after sundown, the miners worked endlessly and saw daylight only on Sundays. Live rats underground told the miners there was no deadly gas present to asphyxiate them or blow them up. But the mine explosions of 1918, 1924, 1933, 1935, 1950 and 1952 are all part of this story.
The Red Row chronicles the triumphs and the tragedies of life in a mining town. Frank MacKay's mining town. Undeniably though, the magic of The Red Row is that in many ways it is the story of people and lives in any town.

Frank MacKay ~ What They Say
"An immediate standing ovation and a wild roaring cheer for Nova Scotia's Frank MacKay as Jean Valjean swept the Neptune Theatre at the end of Les Miserables on Friday night. Neptune took a big bite out of the apple of the mega-musical and recreated the whole apple on a small stage exploding with talent and the passion of Les Miserables."
Elissa Barnard - Halifax Mail Star
"Frank MacKay in the role of Jean Valjean has an appealingly driven approach to the character - he looks every inch the persecuted prisoner - which make the ringing tones that emerge when he sings all the more unexpected."
Ray Conlogue - Toronto Globe and Mail
"MacKay reveals a depth of talent."
Donald Gale - The Stephenville Festival 1996
"The play is a delight and the capacity house enjoyed it immensely, giving it a standing ovation and a curtain call."
Peter Fenwick - The Western Star
"Tremendous Piece!"
Antigonish Casket
"It was wonderfully obvious at the sold-out Sunday night show that MacKay speaks directly to the people of his region."
"Stealing every scene he appeared in was Frank MacKay. His resume is Bible-thick with theatre credits. His fiery oratory as the senior Rev. J.D. Blackwell makes Oral Roberts and the real Jimmy Swaggart look like Bible-toting wallflowers. And that singing !!!"
Bernard Pilon - Regina Leader-Post
"Roy Orbison is Frank MacKay's play. His strong voice and sensitive acting carried the show."
"MacKay makes Orbison dynamite !"
Donald Gale - The Georgian
"A superb musical drama that, with a first-rate performance by Frank MacKay as the older Elvis Presley, is the only show in the history of the Charlottetown Festival to outsell the perennial favorite, Anne of Green Gables."
Matthew Fraser - Toronto Globe and Mail
"MacKay's portrayal of Elvis Presley is an exercise in dynamics. He doesn't play the king... he is the king."
Doug Gallant - Summer Festival Review
"MacKay is blessed with a strong and pleasing voice and a roguish charm, both of which are used to advantage in this role. Where he is most impressive, however, is in one of the play's most difficult but effective pieces, the touching Payday Companions and Fairweather Friends."
Barbara Crook - Ottawa Citizen
"The cast is first-rate, especially Frank MacKay, who brings depth and great vocals to Parker."
"The King of Friday Night is a visual delight, but its message is more serious. In the lyrics of one of the songs, 'we talked so big and looked so bad - never did nothin' at all'."
Broadcast Week
"It struck a responsive chord in the '60s survivors who rejected rose-tinted glasses in favor of the poignancy of an era realistically revisited."
Bill Provick - The Ottawa Citizen

October 29, 2012 The Cooper Pioneer	Leave a comment
Cooper Union athletes started off the school year with a trip to Cape Cod for a week long training session. Teams managed to practice twice a day, have some time to enjoy the beautiful Cape, and take turns preparing dinners where every team was invited. At Cooper there is a boys basketball team, a girls basketball team, a boys tennis team, a girls tennis team, a soccer team, a cross country team, a girls volleyball team, and a boys volleyball team.
The boys basketball team is doing very well and found some hardworking new freshmen teammates including Matthew Smarsch, Andrey Kovalev, and Kenneth Oneill. New to their team but not to Cooper include Peter Liu and Ratan Rai Sur. They have been giving it their all every time they step onto the court. Their first game is a double header on October 27th against Kings College.
Girls basketball team has kept up the hardworking spirit from Cape Cod and were glad to find four new girls to join the team. There are two artists, Diana Yun and Paige, and two freshmen engineers, Nina Yajima Berlow and Jamie Chan. So far, they have been eager to learn the plays and enjoying the practices. The first game is an alumni game next weekend and the first official game is on October 27th against Kings College. Both teams practice twice a week, generally Friday nights and Saturday afternoons, usually separate but every once in a while, there is a joint practice.
Girls tennis team practice Tuesday and Thursday mornings. They have already played three matches, twice against New Rochelle and once against Pratt and won two of the three. The girls tennis team is made up of some very strong players and were glad to have Leticia Lew, Natalia Zawinsky, and Jacquline Le as strong and determined new additions to the team. Their next match is October 19th against St. Joeseph's.
Both the soccer team and the cross country are not gender specified so there is one team for everyone. Soccer practices twice a week in the morning. They were very happy to have ten new players join this year.
The freshmen are Eugene Sokolov, John DiBattista, Stephen Leone, Eavan O'Connor, Hunter Mckane, and Eli Soffer and they have all been solid players who bring a lot to the team. There are new juniors, Isha Patel, Jon Huang, and Ewan Kay, who have been very dedicated to the team as well. The last new player is Peter Kim who is a student from the New School and he is great contribution to the team.
The cross country team practices twice a week, once in the morning and once in the evening. The team was also glad to receive a handful of new players including two freshmen, Maria Hoffman and Peter Wang, Alex Lanuza, Gabriel Lopez, and Sebastian Brand, who happens to be one of the foreign exchange students. The new players have been running hard and working hard to keep up with the team but they're doing great. They don't have any more races against schools but they will be participating in two NY Roadrunners races, one this Sunday and one next Sunday.
The girls volleyball team has also been hard at work, since their season starts the earliest. They have also had a couple of new girls join the team. The new sophomores are Neema Aggarwal, Lauren Bishop, Mary Mazur, and Allison Colyer. The new freshma areAlexa Orrico, Amy Chambers, Jenny Jung, and Arielle Chin King. Most of the team is new so most practices have been focusing on team chemistry and as a team, they've been growing stronger every practice. They have another game on October 20th with New ROchelle and their last game will be on October 26th, with the College of St. Elizabeth. Both the boys volleyball and tennis teams are spring sports so they haven't really started. That's all for now and if anyone is ever interested in a sport, talk to Dean Dean Baker. C U later.

November 25 marks the release of A Beautiful Life, a musically brilliant and emotionally potent new album by Jimmy Greene in tribute to his murdered daughter, Ana Grace. I could write a long essay about Jimmy the human being – we've been friends over half our lives by now – his humility, his strength, his faith and his caring responsibility. But that's not what this is. Instead, I wanted to whet your appetites with some personal highlights from the catalog of Jimmy the musician. Though he is my friend and a major formative figure in my own development as a young musician, I have also been a fan of his music since I first heard his soulful, mature playing when he was 16. It has of course only gotten better. As a saxophonist and composer he has developed a distinct and important voice.
I have omitted the tracks from A Beautiful Life because a) you should just buy the record without my putting it on the list and b) I am not about to take on the responsibility of picking one of those tracks above the others. I have also omitted Jimmy's tremendous contributions to my own records, though for those interested, he is prominently featured on "Happy Birthday" (in a "tenor battle" with fellow "twin tower" Wayne Escoffery) and "Washington, 1963" from Soul Force and "Motherless" and "Lester" from Ripples. Finally I have omitted some great and significant recordings from Tom Harrell, Horace Silver, Ben Riley, the New Jazz Composers Octet, Myron Walden and others, not to mention many wonderful tracks from Jimmy's own albums as a bandleader. Ten is a small number, and I went with personal highlights.
Jimmy's longtime quartet of Xavier Davis, Reuben Rogers and Eric Harland is augmented here by guitarist Lage Lund on a sweeping, extended rubato tune. The soulful, sophisticated music and the important message are both perfect representations of what JG is about.
The older I get, the fewer life-altering musical experiences I have, just the nature of the aging and learning processes. One notable exception came a little less than a decade ago when I went with my wife and oldest daughter to hear Jimmy premiere his extended work The Overcomer's Suite at the Village Vanguard with his quartet, a moment in which I felt both my ears and heart expand. One of the movements in that suite was recorded on this Criss Cross release with the addition of Jeremy Pelt's trumpet.
This infectious track documents Jimmy's long, fruitful relationship with bassist/composer/bandleader Cohen. Jimmy's beautiful flute playing is on display alongside trombonist Avi Lebovich and pianist Jason Lindner, another frequent collaborator.
This duet with Xavier Davis shows a number of things: Jimmy's immense lyricism (especially on ballads), his sensitive interplay, his gorgeous tone on soprano saxophone and the role of faith in his music. The absence of a full band or musical pyrotechnics doesn't keep this from being seriously intense.
When I heard that Jimmy was playing in Ralph Peterson's Quintet (alongside Jeremy Pelt, Eric Revis and my onetime Rutgers classmate Orrin Evans) I got pretty excited. I chose this track because it was the first track from the first of their 3 records together and I still remember where I was sitting when I rocked back in my chair from the onslaught of sound. As sensitive a player as Jimmy can be, he can also blow the roof off with his tenor, and he does just that here.
While still in graduate school, I had the mind-blowing experience of travelling up to Boston one weekend to hear Jimmy play at Wally's in a quintet with trumpeter Darren Barrett, pianist Aaron Goldberg, bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer John Lamkin. I'm glad that group is represented on record, and this hard-swinging tribute to a major mentor of Barrett's is just one among the highlights.
The blend of Jimmy's soprano and Jeremy Pelt's trumpet is on display again here in Nash's wonderful quintet. I have a soft spot for this 30+ year old waltz by the late, great James Williams. Nash's group has a perfect balance of fire and sensitivity all around, aided tremendously by the comping and soloing of another frequent JG collaborator, pianist Renee Rosnes.
I would be remiss if I didn't include some of the important figures from Jimmy's time at the Hartt School of Music. In addition to Goldberg, Barrett and the late Dwayne Burno, this track from Jimmy's RCA Victor Records debut prominently features fellow Jackie McLean disciples Stevie-D and E-Mac (trombonist Steve Davis and drummer Eric McPherson). And the baby niece for whom he wrote this tune is now in high school – Jimmy, we're getting old, dude . . .
Though JG is best known for more "straight-ahead" contexts, he is quite versatile, as displayed through his multiple collaborations with progressive bassist/composer Mario Pavone. In this group his saxophone (tenor, on this track) is juxtaposed seamlessly with the generally more experimental sounds of Tony Malaby as well as pianist Peter Madsen and drummer Gerald Cleaver.

Many editions of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress only have the first half, which follows the journey of Christian, written c. 1678. They omit the second part, written c. 1684, where Christian's wife, Christiana, follows her husband. This edition, however, has both parts together as a single volume. Moreover, it contains the original illustrations by Frederick Barnard (which were engraved by the Dalziel brothers) and an index of Bible references Bunyan cited. These features allow the modern reader to experience the full weight of this classic allegory. Bunyan began writing this work while imprisoned for not obeying the state church in England. Still, Bunyan considered life's trials to be mild compared to the prospect of eternal separation from God. He reminds us that we are only pilgrims here; our home is elsewhere. To get there, we must mind our step.

Most countries require hotels and accommodation houses to comply with strict safety laws – with fire escapes, extinguishers, smoke detectors and other devices provided in case of an emergency. When it comes to Airbnb, what are your obligations as a host? Laws and regulations differ in various parts of the world. Making your home as safe as possible will not only increase your bookings, but also protect your guests and property.
Your first step as a host is to find out about government regulations and safety codes in your area. In the UK, for example, fire safety laws apply if anyone pays to stay in your property, which means you are legally required to do a fire safety risk assessment and implement fire safety measures.
Other parts of the world are less strict when it comes to safety regulations but that doesn't mean you should become complacent. Keep in mind that international visitors will favour Airbnb properties that have a range of fire safety measures in place.
The majority of accidental house fires start in the kitchen. If you are providing a cooking space for guests, make sure it is as safe as possible. Avoid placing or storing flammable materials (such as curtains, paper towels or dish cloths) near your gas cooker. Provide spark devices rather than matches for your guests as they present less of a risk. Don't put toasters under wall-mounted units.
If guests are staying with you over the winter we strongly recommend you give them a safety tour of the house with demonstrations on how to use portable heaters and open fires. Educate them about the dangers of hanging clothes to dry over, or close to, certain types of heaters. Run them through the safety procedures of lighting and stoking a fire.
Make sure you check all your electric plug-in points and replace any that are damaged. Also, check all appliances – particularly making sure cables are in good condition and not frayed. Provide power boards with safety switches that guests can use for their devices.
Smoke alarms should be fitted throughout your home. These alarms can warn guests if a fire breaks out – especially if it happens at night, when they're asleep.
If your property uses gas or oil for cooking or heating, you need to place Carbon Monoxide alarms in appropriate areas. Heat alarms can also be installed for safety. The most important thing to do is check the batteries on a regular basis (preferably after each guest).
You should have at least one fire extinguisher on every level of your home. They should be placed in the rooms with the highest probability of a fire — the kitchen especially, as well as any areas with open fires. Another option is a fire blanket which is a safety device designed to extinguish small fires. It consists of a sheet of a fire retardant material.
Don't forget to tick all your safety features under the Home Safety section for your Airbnb listing. Some hosts will even include a paragraph on safety at the end of their property description that mentions smoke alarms and first aid kits in order to reassure guests.
Check out this fire safety guide put together by Chief Fire Officers Association for Airbnb hosts in the UK as well the Airbnb Home Safety page.
If you are uncertain how to move forward with safety for your home, GuestReady has a team of Airbnb experts who help hosts all around the world with these kinds of issues. We can assist with organising fire safety assessments and installing relevant devices to ensure your home meets the legal requirements of your area.


343 Graphix was established in January 2008. We purchased a large format printer, cutter and laminator, along with two computers and all the software needed to start a graphic shop. We are completely self taught in learning how to design, print and install graphics. 343 Graphix is run by Mark and Crissy Greenwald and recently hired on an employee who has been a great asset to our company. We are greatly appreciative to our parents who also come to our shop and help us do any jobs we need help with.
The business started because we needed to find a supplemental income to our motorcycle repair business. We went to a sign expo and next thing we knew, we ordered all the equipment and jumped right in! The reason behind starting the graphics company was because Mark has a passion for motocross and has been on a dirt bike since he was four. He thought it would compliment our motorcycle repair shop and has been one of the best decisions we've made. The graphics company grew and continued to over take the repair shop and in mid 2009, we converted into a full time graphic business. Mark's passion for motocross is incorporated into every graphic kit he designs. We strive to create the best graphics in the market today.
We can be reached by phone, email, Facebook and Instagram.
We love what we do and we put our hearts into every job. We hope you choose 343 Graphix for your next graphic project or apparel order!


Clean the cauliflower and cut into florets. Bring the milk, cream and cauliflower florets to a boil. Place the lid onto the pan and let simmer for about 15 minutes on medium-low heat. When the cauliflower is tender, transfer into the blender. Blend until the cauliflower gets smooth. Season with pepper and salt and pour back into the pan.
Finely chop the hazelnuts by using the food processor.
Roast the hazelnuts in a dry medium-sized skillet along with a tablespoon of flour in. Pour in the vegetable stock and stir until a sauce has formed.
Cut a few cauliflower florets into thin slices and set aside. Remove the head from the prawns and make a cut alongside the backside of the prawn to remove the intestines. Heat olive oil in a large skillet, bake the prawns for about 4 minutes. Season with some pepper and salt.
Scoop a spoonful of lukewarm cauliflower cream onto a plate, then place the baked prawns together with the finely sliced cauliflower and a handful of rucola lettuce on top of the cream. Take a little bit of the sauce and sprinkle with hazelnut crumbs.

My mother tongue is German. Philosophers, sociologists and historians have written about the notion of 'Heimat', the German word signifying a deep sense of spatial, social, emotional and cultural belonging that includes safety and security.
We are here today to speak about people who have lost this security, lost their home, lost almost everything.
I say people because I am not talking about categories, flows or movements. 65 million people worldwide are displaced by violence. IDPs, migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, stateless people; these are all individuals who are living through a traumatising human experience. They deserve fair and humane treatment. Not as a case or a number, but as persons.
One such person whom I met recently, Aisha, saw her husband shot in an attack on their village. Fleeing on foot, she lost one of her seven children. She is one of thousands of widows who don't know if they can ever return home.
She flees from fighting, from immediate threats to her life. She flees because she and her children just cannot survive anymore, cut off from food and water supplies, without electricity or healthcare. And she flees because life is about more than mere survival, it's a question of dignity. There are no jobs for her, no schools for her children, and no life to be built.
Displacement is often the consequence of fear, but the arrival of migrants, including refugees and asylum seekers, also causes fear in host States. There is no easy way to dispel this fear. But if ignored, or - worse – whipped up into hatred, it will trigger a vicious cycle of enmity, exclusion and destruction.
Hence, the critical importance of international legal standards that govern the treatment and protection of migrants and refugees. These laws were created to protect people, to foster inclusion, and not to be distorted to legitimize exclusion. They must be interpreted as such, in order to provide a legitimate and sustainable foundation for the policies that will derive from the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework.
As President of the ICRC, my role is to draw your attention to international humanitarian law and its relevance in addressing the root causes of large movements of migrants. The brutal reality of warfare combined with repeated violations of international humanitarian law create unacceptable living conditions. Indiscriminate attacks, targeted attacks on civilian infrastructure and hospitals, siege warfare depriving the population of the means to survive, continue to occur in too many theatres of conflict around the world.
At the heart of all international humanitarian law lies the protection of civilians, of detainees, of the wounded and sick, and of others not participating in hostilities. It is this shared humanity that gives IHL its relevance, its legitimacy, and its universal sense.
I call on you to respect the law, to ensure respect for the law, to keep the balance in a world where many different powers pull in all different directions. Lawlessness produces displacement and will never allow for safe return.
At the International Committee of the Red Cross, together with our Red Cross and Red Crescent partners, we see the suffering first-hand, we witness the personal human tragedies, and we see the scale of destruction from which people flee. We know that leaving your home in such conditions is never a choice.
Remember there is an individual tragedy, potentially long-term psychological suffering, behind every statistic. The response must be individualized, too, and I recognise that this can be a challenge but the alternative is not in line with the principle of humanity.
Bad policies will create additional suffering. Therefore, steer clear of arbitrary detention and inadequate fast-track procedures. Do not allow inhumane conditions and family separations. There is no quick fix to build a new life in a new place.
And there is no other way than to invest money and effort. It's a humanitarian imperative – and socially and economically productive - to give people the opportunity to build new lives, to take charge of their own lives, to work and raise their children in dignity.
To give every person a chance to build a new 'Heimat', temporary or permanent.

A Doctor's Fight Against Hep C

How I Overcame Hepatitis C Stigma for a Cure
By Everyday Health Guest Columnist
Still Searching for Relief From GERD
A Sex Therapist's 5 Tips for Bringing Back Intimacy After Cancer
By Carleen McGuffrey, Special to Everyday Health
In 2010, after the birth of my fifth child, I started to feel very fatigued and had pain in my joints that I could no longer ignore. I made an appointment to see my family doctor, who had a reputation for checking every box on a lab slip. I'm so glad she did, because she checked the box for a hepatitis C test.
Then, she called with the news that I was hepatitis C positive.
Half of Those Infected With Hepatitis C Don't Know It
At the time, I didn't know anything about the hepatitis C virus. But I now know that it's a serious, potentially life-threatening disease that affects about 3.5 million people in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — most of whom were born between 1945 and 1965. I certainly didn't know hepatitis C was responsible for more than 19,000 deaths every year in the United States, claiming more lives annually than HIV.
Like me, more than 50 percent of people who are infected by hepatitis C don't know it, because it's a silent disease.
Hepatitis C often doesn't show any noticeable symptoms for years or even decades, making awareness and screening critical. Over time, the virus can damage the liver, leading to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and even death. The good news is that hepatitis C can be cured by treatment.
Hepatitis C Stigma Keeps It Hidden
At the time of my diagnosis, I knew so little about hepatitis C and was quite confused, not knowing what to think or how to feel.
One thing I did know was that there's a stigma attached to hepatitis C.
As a wife and mother, I was embarrassed and worried about what others would think, and didn't want to put my family in an awkward situation. I decided not to tell anyone outside of my immediate family about the diagnosis, and kept it a secret for several years.
Then in 2011, I was scheduled for a simple biopsy to check my liver. Typically, liver biopsies are performed as an outpatient procedure at the hospital and are quite safe. But unfortunately, the physician accidentally cut an artery in my liver, causing internal bleeding. I ended up in the intensive care unit fighting for my life. After being in the hospital for over a month and undergoing two procedures to stem the bleeding, I was sent home on oxygen and was bedridden for about a year.
I couldn't keep my diagnosis a secret any longer.
Hepatitis C Awareness With Climbing for Carleen
While I was recovering from the biopsy, my husband, James, founded Climbing for Carleen, a nonprofit organization to raise awareness of hepatitis C and liver disease. Through Climbing for Carleen, we are dedicated to dispelling the stigma of hepatitis C, promoting screening and diagnosis, and connecting people with the care they need.
James and my son climbed Mount Rainier in Washington a couple of years ago, and Mount Shasta in California last year, on behalf of the American Liver Foundation. Currently, my family is planning a cross-country trip to spread the word about hepatitis C, encourage testing, and share hugs and support with those who need it.
Hepatitis C Treatments That Cure
I'm more excited than ever to share my story and advocate for others with hepatitis C. New treatments are now available that are associated with high cure rates, so people really must get tested.
Following my diagnosis, I was nursing my baby and was unable to begin treatment immediately. When I finally discussed the available treatment options with my doctor, she recommended that I forego treatment because of the severe side effects associated with what was available at the time.
Meanwhile, I continued to experience fatigue, joint pain, and depression, and was diagnosed with stage 2 fibrosis (liver damage from scar tissue). I knew I needed to do something to rid my body of the virus.
Eventually, my doctor prescribed 12 weeks of a newly approved treatment that could potentially offer a better chance of a cure. Upon completion of the treatment in 2015, my final blood test results confirmed it: I was cured of hepatitis C!
Who Needs to Get a Hepatitis C Test
Because hepatitis C is a silent disease, it's important that people get tested, treated, and cured. At Climbing for Carleen, we encourage everyone to learn about their risks and to get tested.
You may be at an increased risk for hepatitis C if any of the following describe you, per the CDC:
You were born between 1945 and 1965
You were treated for a problem with blood clotting before 1987
You received a blood transfusion or organ transplant before July 1992
You had body piercing or tattoos done with non-sterile instruments
You're a healthcare worker who's been exposed to blood through a needle stick or other sharp object
You're a current or former injection drug user, even if you injected only one time or many years ago
You're infected with HIV
You received long-term hemodialysis treatment
You have abnormal liver tests or liver disease
You're a child born to a mother who had hepatitis C
Since I was cured, I have much more energy and can do all the things I love: I homeschool my children, teach kindergarten two days a week, enjoy time with my family, hike, and help run Climbing for Carleen. I believe it's important to help people with hepatitis C who don't know where to turn for information. This is why I continue to be a passionate advocate raising awareness and empowering others to get tested.
Carleen McGuffrey, 45, lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with her husband and six children. She is an advocate for hepatitis C awareness, testing, and access to treatment through her organization, Climbing for Carleen.

The plane made an emergency landing due to a burning tablet Samsung
Samsung portable technology continues to explode. The plane Delta Airlines made an emergency landing at Manchester airport due to spontaneous combustion of the tablet PC the South Korean brand.
The plane Delta Airlines operated flight the Detroit-Amsterdam. During the flight one of the passengers dropped the Galaxy Tab S2 in the gap between the back and seat of the chair, did not notice this and began to raise his chair. As a result of mechanical damage (bent tablet), the device will immediately start to heat up, melt and caught fire.
The fire was extinguished, but the pilots, having learned about the fire device on Board, made the decision on emergency landing of the aircraft in Manchester, UK. There the chair was replaced, and the damaged device is returned to the owner. Two hours after the forced landing, the aircraft continued the flight to Amsterdam.
This fire is not due to the internal marriage, the incident was the fault of the user. But the Galaxy Note 7 continues to retract and be replaced in countries where the shelves hit the device from the first bad batch. However, exchange for a "safe" version does not guarantee that the device doesn't really explode. So, already recorded case of re-ignition is a resident of China announced that obtained by the exchange under warranty Galaxy Note 7 exploded less than a day, burned his fingers and ruined my MacBook.
Looks like Samsung lawyers in the coming months will be a lot of work.

There is hope: The clouds are beginning to part on the civil discourse storm in America
Jon Tyson/Unsplash
We have come full circle. People are sick of the incivility and antagonism that has spread throughout campuses nationwide. Students have suffered for it, too. Many universities have realized that, increasingly, they are turning out bratty, foundationless adults, who expect the world to bend to their demands yet refuse to do anything in return and shrink up at the merest perceived offense. As a result, universities have begun to emphasize the importance of civility and etiquette, using student-led discussions, skits, and questionnaires.
The Wall Street Journal examined the growing trend in an article titled "New Topic on Campus: Civil Discourse 101"
RELATED: Some parting words of wisdom to the next generation of free thinkers
We've seen the violent protests at Berkeley and Middlebury, and the fanatical outrage at Evergreen College. We've seen it so often that many of us are numb to it. Thankfully, school officials recognize the danger in this.
With schools criticized either for coddling oversensitive young adults or for allowing extremists to spew hate, universities including Butler, Tufts and Duquesne are working to improve civil discourse. They are starting speaker series and courses and even designing skits on how to respond if a roommate hangs an offensive poster.
Students will reflect on their debate styles and talk through hypotheticals like whether to engage or kick out party guests who say hateful things.
Wake Forest University is even using dinner parties, with about a dozen people, where students practice common etiquette. The college's communications director Brett Eaton said, "The goal is to have participants reveal things about themselves, find connections with others and feel more confident working together."
Tufts University has even devoted a $100,000 grant to examine political polarization on campuses, with attention to how schools handle controversial speakers.
The message is clear: There is hope.
"Azhar Majeed, vice president of policy reform at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a nonprofit civil liberties group, said it is good to see schools teaching about the principles behind the First Amendment, but too often they create policies that require civility, rather than just encourage it. Clamping down on offensive speech remains a "huge" problem at colleges, he said, and schools can't punish students just for hurting someone's feelings."
The message is clear: There is hope. Just as we'd assumed that there was nothing ahead but more darkness, a ray of sunshine appeared. And the dark clouds are opening. They're opening slowly, but they're opening nonetheless, just enough to keep us going.


I have been so busy lately I haven't been posting my Sunday posts, I am trying to get back in the habit.
Since it is November and we spend a lot of this month remembering to be thankful I thought this video on gratitude was perfect!
I am so grateful for my many blessings!
So glad that you are back to posting! This message is so very important...being grateful is something I think about every morning. All the best friend! I hope you have a lovely week!


Such strange churchyards hide in the City of London; churchyards sometimes so entirely detached from churches, always so pressed upon by houses; so small, so rank, so silent, so forgotten, except by the few people who ever look down into them from their smoky windows. As I stand peeping in through the iron gates and rails, I can peel the rusty metal off, like bark from an old tree.
Iron railings are the conduit through which this spectre spectates, delivering a sense of distanced obsession – as they do at the end of Bleak House (1852-3), when Lady Deadlock peers through the gate of another urban churchyard in an effort to unite herself with her dead past. But, in their corroded state here, Dickens borrows them to use in another strange metaphor for the provisional yet present, the ephemeral yet palpable, which straddles the organic-inorganic divide, as so much of this writer's imagery does.
In George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss (1860), a young Maggie Tulliver is somewhat perplexed to learn that her father's head miller is not interested in knowing more of his 'fellow creatures' such as Dutchmen, a topic she feels she is pretty knowledgeable about, having read the hugely successful children's travel picture book, Pug's Tour Through Europe; or the Travell'd Monkey (1824). It is one of the many books embedded in this novel, and serves on the one hand to (further) demonstrate how Maggie's identity is in some sense constructed out of what she reads, and on the other, subtly to historicize the narrative Eliot is telling, by particularizing the cultural practices of her characters, placed as they are in pre-Victorian provincial Lincolnshire rather than the metropolitan modernity in which the novel was written. Eliot, the implied author, stands with her implied readers to the side of this exchange, approving of Maggie's attempt at the humanistic education of the parochial Luke, but also laughing, from the perspective of the more complete cosmopolitan, at her failure of imagination to think beyond the stereotypes her children's book has offered her. (For more on Pug's Tour see C. C. Barfoot (1997).


If you want to succeed you need to set goals and this is no different when it comes to hitting the gym. Without them we lack focus and direction.
So, let's get down to planning. Get rid of obstacles and focus on ambitions and real goals. To achieve any results, you need time and realistic goals. If you set them too high right from the start it can discourage us when the first failure comes our way.
Plan small steps on the way to your goals to see progress and to not lose confidence or faith in success. Measuring goals is an excellent motivational activity, make notes in diary regularly and record the results. Change 'I'm going to' for 'I will.' Believe In your dreams (goals) and write them down.
– Make a plan and write down the individual stages of for realisation.
– Specify the steps you need to take to achieve the goals.
– Define activities for the coming year based on good models and habits.
– Get ready for changes.
Do not impose too high of a pace at the very beginning. Did you know that the rule 'step by step' is very important for two reasons: This approach prevents overtraining and it counteracts discouragement. Think why you want to exercise and what will the benefits of increasing your activity. Will you be in better shape? Will you weigh fewer kilos? Will you improve your blood results? Or maybe you'll be able to put on trousers that are 2 sizes smaller? There may be many reasons but remember those that are important to YOU are the ones that really work.
If you have been practicing for a long time and you feel like you are losing motivation then remember again what you get from your workouts, what are you striving for and what you want to achieve as a result. Choose your favourite type of exercise, which sport is the best for you? The ones you like you and enjoy.
Remember that "motivation helps to begin habits and helps you persevere." In order to develop a habit, you need a dose of routine and repetitiveness. You will not learn how to cook just by watching cooking shows, it's the same with any other activity. That's why you should set the minimum amount of time you can devote in a week or in a day. If you can manage to do more – great. If not, then try stick to your plan then it will naturally become your habit.

Tara Westover Educated
By Binker, March 21 in Biography & Autobiography
Binker
LocationDallas, Texas
Current Book:Disappearing Earth by Julia Phillips
Tara Westover is a young woman who was raised in rural Idaho on her parents' property (it's too much to call it a farm). The father and mother both embraced an extreme version of apocalyptic religion (allegedly Mormon in origin, but the beliefs don't have much in common with any Mormon beliefs I know about). They were constantly afraid of government getting its claws into them and everyone constituted an arm of government (doctors, hospitals, etc.), so that the were "home schooled" (not much schooling took place) and preparing for the end of the world, where they would be the only people with enough food and water. Y2K gave her father lots of opportunities for paranoia run amuck, but his paranoia was a constant theme in their world. The mother was a midwife who prepared herbal remedies.
Tara and her siblings didn't go to school. Tara helped her mother with her endeavors and all of the children helped their father in his scrapyard. The children and their father often suffered terrible injuries in the scrapyard work that really could have been avoided. One brother is unusually aggressive with her (and others) and never seems to improve. Much of what happens is shocking.
The children all appear to have been very bright, so that half of them escaped, but the other half did not. Tara barely made it into college and when she did, she had no idea what was going on (in one class, she didn't recognize the word "Holocaust" and asked what it meant, which everyone assumed was some sort of bad joke on her part). She is repeatedly embarrassed by her lack of knowledge, but perseveres with some help from everyone in her family other than her father and the aggressive older brother, both of whom oppose her efforts. But all those educators see a very bright spark and encourage her in her education (they are all, naturally, horrified by what they can glean about her upbringing). Her successes are interesting, but what is fascinating is watching her process her childhood and continued relations with her family.
This book has been getting a lot of press in the United States. My daughter is the one who recommended it to me. The family has disputed some of the story, but that's consistent with their constant gaslighting of her and the other children. If you wonder why she wrote the book, I think it is so that she could insist that what she experienced was true, notwithstanding what the family says.

I listened to this on audio and was completely riveted by it.
I have to admit to sharing some fellow feeling with her - I had a (relatively ) normal upbringing, but my father didn't believe it was necessary for girls to go to school. My 4 elder brother went to boarding school from age 9 and were at day schools before but I was educated at home until I was 11. Then, never having been among groups of children, having no sisters so no idea of what girls talked about, and no experience of school I was sent to boarding school. My experices were nothing like so extreme as Tara Westover's but I know absolutely that feeling of being apart and not understanding what's going on around you.
That apart i would have been completely absorbed by this book anyway, highly recommended.
I am always surprised when I hear stories from someone who is about my age about parents not valuing education for their girls. I was the 6th generation of women in my mother's family to go to college and so I never got any of that. My mother's family always seemed very much like the March family in Little Women, including not wanting the girls to be "silly" about boys.
But, I, too, was fascinated. Her childhood was almost like being brought up in a very small, closely-related cult. I think most families have their oddities and the children don't really understand that until they leave home. But this family goes WAY beyond oddities.
