Cross-Cultural Learning
ODYSSEUS WANDERED FOR 10, I WONDERED FOR 50 YEARS
Harry C.
त्रिंदिस University of IllinoisU.S.A.
The title of this paper is highly individualistic: It uses "I" and it is very competitive! Yet I was raised in Greece when it was a collectivist culture, as is clear from Triandis (1972). I started as an allocentric and ended up as idiocentric person. In January 1948, at age 21, I came to Canada, to study at McGill University, because the Technical University (Polytechnion) where I was studying in Athens was not in good shape just after the war (e.g., poor labs). I found the contrast between Athens and Montreal as great in temperature (leaving in 50 degree weather and finding -10 F) as well as in social relationships. Montreal had an individualist culture, with people having many, but relatively superficial relationships, and that contrasted with Athens collectivism where one had few but deep relationships. In Montreal my friends talked to their parents once a month, while if I could have afforded it I would have talked to my parents every day. In Montreal social relations were fluid and quick-changing, in Athens they were stable and more or less unchanged. Traces of allocentrism remain, so that when I go back to Athens, each year, I spend time with my old friends, even 50 years after leaving. The contrast between Canada and Greece started me thinking about cultural comparisons.
But I had little trouble adjusting to Canada, because I was already more of an idiocentric than most Greeks। That was because I was not especially ethnocentric, having been exposed to German governesses and a French high school, and having discovered for myself at age 16 that all religions are systems of self-deception. Religion is an important aspect of Greek culture.
After studying engineering, and working as an engineer in Canada for three years, I discovered psychology and was so fascinated that I abandoned engineering for graduate work at Cornell University in social psychology। When I went back to Greece after my first year in graduate school I collected cross-cultural data (Triandis & Osgood, 1958; Triandis and Lambert, 1958)। But mainstream psychology was not interested in culture। Culture was quaint, curious, stimulating, but most psychologists claimed that "what we found are the eternal, invariant laws of behavior।"But there were exceptions। Brewster Smith, then editor of the most important social psychology journal, favored cross-cultural work, and he published my two cross-cultural papers.
In the early years of my career as a psychologist I worked mostly on attitudes and on industrial psychology. These were "mainstream fields." I received tenure three years after starting in Illinois, and then I started thinking that I could do cross-cultural studies, even if these were not "respected" as much as my other activities. For good measure I wrote a book on attitudes (Triandis, 1971), but my real love was cross-cultural work.
I was encouraged in the cross-cultural direction when Len Berkowitz asked me to do a chapter on culture and cognition, which appeared as the first chapter of his series of Advances in Experimental Social Psychology (Triandis, 1964). Before writing that chapter and came across Pike's work on emics and etics, and structured the chapter around such concepts.
In the early 1960s the U. S. Navy approached Fred Fiedler with a request that he develop a team to study how "every sailor can become an ambassador," a goal that Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt had set as Chief of Naval Operations. Fiedler asked me to be part of the team, which also included Osgood and Stolurow. We divided the job as follows: I would identify what elements of culture are relevant. Osgood would use those elements to improve the communication of Navy personnel with their hosts; Fiedler would use those elements to improve the leadership behavior of Navy personnel; Stolurow would use these elements to teach people who are going to another culture to perceive social behavior according to their own culture as well as the host culture. It was in that context that we came up with the idea of developing culture assimilators (Fiedler, Mitchell and Triandis, 1971).
In order to find out what elements of culture were needed for the project I worked on the "analysis of subjective culture." I went around the world on my sabbatical, spending significant time in Hawaii, Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Iran, Israel, Greece, Germany, France, and Belgium, talking with potential collaborators of the project. The data finally came from Japan, India, Greece and the USA (Triandis, 1972).
The analysis of subjective culture included aspects of what is now called cultural psychology, such as the analysis of the meaning of emic concepts, changes in the meanings of concepts, and examining one culture in detail, and cross-cultural psychology, such as equivalence of measurement of etic constructs, examination of universals of meaning, and examining many cultures in one study.
An important event in my intellectual development was a conference that took place in Ibadan, Nigeria, over the New Year holidays of 1966-67। It was in that conference that I became convinced that one must avoid intellectual colonialism, which includes the study of a culture without indigenous collaborators, and without giving credit and co-authorship to local social scientists. This resulted in the inclusion of a section on the ethics of cross-cultural research in The Analysis of Subjective Culture, and collaboration with a group of psychologists in the development of a code of ethics for cross-cultural research (Tapp, Kelman, Triandis, Wrightsman, and Coelho, 1974). When I was President of IACCP in 1976, I tried to "sell" that code to the membership, but many members felt that the code was too restrictive and demanding, and therefore limited the options of members. Consequently, it was never adopted.
In Ibadan we also discussed the need for a newsletter that would keep people with intercultural interests aware of the activities of others doing cross-cultural work. I agreed to edit that small publication, which we named the Cross-Cultural Social Psychology Newsletter. It started as a simple mimeographed publication and was distributed free to those who were interested (the Navy agreed to pay for the postage). It has since become the quarterly Cross-Cultural Psychology Bulletin of IACCP. Another important conference was held in Hong Kong, in 1972, when IACCP was formed.
In the 1970s I became President of Divisions 8 (Personality and Social Psychology) and 9 (Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues) of the American Psychological Association, and tried to introduce some emphases on cross-cultural research. Then in the 1980s I became President of the Interamerican Society of Psychology and also got very much involved in the International Association of Applied Psychology, serving at its President in 1990-94. Most of these jobs were related to providing a context within which psychologists can meet, and develop collaborative relationships which improve the chances of doing cross-cultural work.
In the late 1970s I reviewed the manuscript of Geert Hofstede's 1980 book, Culture's consequences. I was enthusiastic, and recommended its publication. I also started working on individualism and collectivism, which corresponded with the contrast between Americans and traditional Greeks that I had reported in the Analysis of subjective culture.
In the 1980s I worked with and for Hispanics in an effort to understand aspects of their culture. The concept of collectivism fit very well our findings (Marin & Triandis, 1985). We identified the simpatia script (Triandis, Marin, Lisansky & Betancourt, 1984), which is certainly an element of collectivism.
Thus my main focus became the study of this cultural syndrome(Triandis,1989,1990,1993,1996). In the beginning I was not sure I was right in stimulating Harry Hui to work for his dissertation on the development and validation of a method for the measurement of the construct. What if no one was interested in it? I would have pushed him into a dead-end. Fortunately, it was not a dead-end. In fact, by 1993 I was able to spend my sabbatical at the East-West Center summarizing what was known about that construct, and there was already quite a lot that was known (Triandis, 1995). It has since become even more central, so that in August 1998, Hazel Markus and Michael Morris organized a conference of 50 researchers at Stanford University who talked mostly about aspects of this construct.
I think the future of cross-cultural psychology is going to be bright. I think that culture and social behavior are so strongly interrelated (Triandis, 1994) that no social psychology can be meaningful if it is not cross-cultural.
I want to mention the construct of "cultural syndromes," and their importance. They consist of shared attitudes, beliefs, norms, and values found among those who speak a particular language dialect, in a specific geographic region, during a particular historic period. The shared elements of subjective culture are organized around a theme, such as complexity, or the importance of the collective. Cultural syndromes provide a focus, so that we can get out of the fuzzy construct of "culture" and into a construct that we can probe systematically.
Following are examples of such syndromes:
Cultural complexity, e.g., hunters and gatherers versus information societies. The size of settlements is one of the best ways to index cultural complexity (Chick, 1997).
Tightness. Tight cultures have many rules, norms, and ideas about what is correct behavior in different kinds of situations; loose cultures have fewer rules and norms. In the former cultures also, people become quite upset when others do not follow the norms of the society, and may even kill those who do not behave as is expected, while in the latter cultures people are tolerant of most deviations from normative behaviors. In Japan, which is a tight culture, people are sometimes criticized for minor deviations from norms, such as having too much of a sun tan, or having curly hair (Kidder, 1992). Most Japanese live in fear that they will not act properly (Iwao, 1993).
Individualism and collectivism. Triandis (1994) has suggested that individualism emerges in societies that are both complex and loose; collectivism in societies that are both simple and tight. For example, theocracies or monasteries are both tight and relatively poor; Hollywood stars live in a culture that is both complex and loose. This speculation has not been tested rigorously, but the data seem to hang together reasonably well so that it may be the case that, for instance, Japan that is now quite complex is less collectivist that the Japan of the 19th century.
Vertical and horizontal cultures. Vertical cultures accept hierarchy as a given. People are different from each other. Hierarchy is a natural state. Those at the top "naturally" have more power and privileges than those of the bottom of the hierarchy. Horizontal cultures accept equality as a given. People are basically similar, and if one is to divide any resource it should be done equally.
Active-passive cultures. In active cultures individuals try to change the environment to fit them; in passive cultures people change themselves to fit into the environment. Active cultures are more competitive, action-oriented, and emphasize self-fulfillment; those characterized as more passive are more cooperative, emphasize the experience of living, and are especially concerned with getting along with others.
Universalism-particularism. In universalist cultures people try to treat others on the basis of universal criteria (e.g., all competent persons regardless of who they are in sex, age, race, etc. are acceptable employees); in particularist cultures people treat others on the basis of who the other person is (e.g., I know Joe Blow and he is a good person, so he will be a good employee).
Diffuse-specific. Diffuse cultures respond to the environment in a holistic manner (e.g., I do not like your report means I do not like you). Specific cultures discriminate different aspects of the stimulus complex. (e.g., I do not like your report says nothing about how much I like you).
Ascription-achievement. People can judge others on the basis of ascribed attributes, such as sex, race, family membership, etc. These are attributes people are born with. By contrast, people might judge others in terms of achieved attributes, such as skill, publications, awards.
Instrumental-expressive. People may sample more heavily attributes that are instrumental (e.g., get the job done) or expressive (e.g., enjoy the social relationship).
Emotional expression or suppression. People may express their emotions freely, no matter what the consequences, or they may control the expression of emotion.
One can identify many more syndromes, such as those reflected in the Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck (1961) value orientations, the culture of honor (Nisbett & Cohen, 1996), and others. It should be noted that cultural syndromes are probably correlated. That would be an important research topic for the next generation of cross-cultural psychologists.

Applying Pressure on This Point on Your Belly Will Remove Toxins from the Colon!
If you have problems with bowel movements, you should know that there is a simple point which you can press in order to complete the movement successfully.
This point is found on the body and it is known as the "sea of energy". You just need to measure three finger widths under the belly button.
Press this point with your three fingers and breathe deeply while doing it. Don't stop pressing until you feel ready to go to the toilet. It can last 10 seconds at the minimum and 3 minutes at the maximum.
An acupressure therapist, Dr. Michael Reed Gach says that this button revives the body's healing process. An important part of the healing process is eliminating waste.
Moreover, another research showed that abdominal massaging, just like pressing the poop button makes the bowels start to move and clear the bowels. Dr. Gach adds that this button relieves rectal pains, digestive problems, menstrual cramps and gas.

Anton La Vey
Egyptiana
The numerous Jewish elements within ritual magic indicate that there is a more extensive Jewish element in the thought of the Traditions than has been admitted so far. The Jewish genius for complicated metaphysics and occult speculation has provided occultists with some of their most erudite Traditional sources of inspiration. The Kabbalah, itself a Jewish word for Tradition, embodies these sources. . . . Of the long and complicated story of Jewish mysticism it is only necessary to recall here that an important element is the correspondence between the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and a numerical value—and that on this typically "occult" idea of "sympathies" has been erected an amazing framework of speculation. — James Webb, from The Occult Underground
The Book of Splendours
Eliphas Levi
This book and its companion volume, The Great Secret, comprise the last works of Levi. Born Alphonse Luis Constant in 1810, Levi's enthusiasm for religion and scholarly pursuits was so great that he entered the seminary at 25 to pursue the priesthood. Although ordained a deacon, he abandoned the goal of priesthood upon realizing his inability to accept celibacy. His career as a scholar and writer brought him greater notoriety as one of the architects of the 19th-century occult revival in France and England. His Dogme et Ritual de la Haute Magie and Histoire de la Magie inspired the work of countless other authors, including Waite's turgid prose and Crowley's humorous word-play. The Book of Splendours has as its first part Levi's commentary on the Zohar, a 13th-century work of Jewish mysticism, by Moses de Leon. Levi effortlessly weaves into his narrative the Hiramic legend of masonry and Krishna. He continues the tradition of a syncretic view of the Kabbalah seen in earlier works of Mirandola and Ruechlin. That view of the Kabbalah, which blends Judaism, Christianity and the pantheons of several polytheistic systems, is perhaps now better known than the historical Kabbalah written of by Gershom Scholem and Moshe Idel. This book remains a lasting testament to Levi's influence in shaping contemporary occultism. MM

The Essential Kabbalah: The Heart of Jewish Mysticism
Daniel C. Matt
The spirit seeker and conjurer alike will marvel at the beauty of The Essential Kabbalah. Matt is a professor of Jewish mysticism at the Center for Jewish Studies and is a graduate of the Theological Union. He is considered by many to be the foremost translator of ancient Jewish mystical writings into modern English. Matt presents what he believes are the Kabbalah's most important teachings. The resulting translations of the original Hebrew and Aramaic texts are inspiring and truly poetic. GE

The Kabbala
Erich Bischoff
This reprint of the 1910 publication by Bischoff is one of the most concise and clear books on the Kabbalah. Written in a straightforward question-and-answer style, Bischoff outlines the history of Jewish mysticism from its legendary formation by Moses and its more realistic beginnings in the 1st century A.D. to its adoption by Christian Kabbalists during the Renaissance. Instead of dwelling on the Kabbalah's more popular role in ritual magic, he discusses the different philosophic and theological strands of the Kabbalah and at what times they developed. The Sepher Yetzirah was written in the 9th or 10th century A.D., whereas Moses de Leon's landmark mystical work the Zohar was written in the 13th century. The doctrine of the Sephiroth was promulgated by Rabbi Isaac the Blind in the year 1200. The notion of transmigration of souls is discussed and compared with Buddhist and Greek philosophy. These details do much to illustrate the slow and gradual development of Jewish mysticism. The last chapter outlines magic and the Kabbalah and is illustrated with many interesting magic squares and amulets. MM

Kabbalah and Consciousness
Allen Afterman
"This book enables the general reader to gain insight into the inner life of the Jewish mystical tradition… it concerns itself with the movement from ordinary consciousness toward knowledge of the infinite, the process of rectification by which the eternal is revealed in everyday reality, and an exploration of male and female modes of being."
Publisher: Sheep Meadow
The Kabbalah Unveiled
S.L. MacGregor Mathers
"The Bible… contains numberless obscure and mysterious passages which are utterly unintelligible without some key wherewith to unlock their meaning. That key is given in the Kabbalah." Medieval alchemists and mystics searched for clues in every letter of the Bible and produced an abundance of Kabbalistic interpretations. The present translation is particularly useful for those interested in the occult and the metaphysical because three Kabbalistic works of paramount importance are included: the Zohar, the Greater Holy Assembly, and the Lesser Holy Assembly, all leading to the proof: "Each effect has a cause and everything which has order and design has a governor." MET
The Mystical Qabalah
Dion Fortune's most famous work is required reading for all students of the mystic and energetic arts. The book's basic mission is to explain the Tree of Life, the most important symbol in Kabbalistic magic and meditation. Fortune is from the Golden Dawn school of Kabbalism, in the tradition of MacGregor Mathers and Aleister Crowley, whom she references. This is very high magic, rooted in pre-Christian rabbinical ritual. An often-recommended path for magic students is to begin with Kabbalah forms before progressing to more pagan and arcane systems. GE
On the Kabbalah and Its Symbolism
Gershom Scholem
"Scholem guides the reader through the central themes in the intricate history of the Kabbalah, clarifying the relations between mysticism and established religious authority, the mystics' interpretation of the Torah and their attempts to discover the hidden meaning underlying Scripture, the tension between the philosophical and the mystical concepts of God, and the symbolism employed in mystical religion."

Nothing says summer afternoon more than lemonade! After dabbling in lemonade popsicles earlier this season (see here), mixing up a lemonade libation is another fun alternative to enjoying this childhood favorite.
The Tequila Thyme Lemonade is a signature drink at the Garden Court Hotel's Summer Pop-Up Bar. It is very simple to whip up, yet packs a powerful tart punch that is very refreshing. What I like to think of as the Tequila version of the Old Fashioned, this drink is a great option instead of the typical summer Margarita, which can get very sweet and boozy. Cheers to the last days of summer!
Make sure to stop by the Garden Court Hotel's Summer Pop-Up Bar, which is open every Friday at 5:00pm until the end of August !

Q: Snappy Laravel PDF export not loading CSS I'm trying to export a page in PDF format with Snappy Laravel. I have the page with all the CSS and it works great and looks great, but when I try to export it, my page is downloaded in pdf format but without any CSS. Here is the code and what I have already tried:
Controller:
$pdf = PDF::loadView('admin.userReport');
$pdf->setOption('enable-javascript', true);
$pdf->download('myFileName.pdf');

Head:
<link href="{{ asset('/css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet"/>

PS: I tried to put the absolute path to the CSS file, but it doesn't work either.

A: Change this in your blade to  <link href="{{ asset('/css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet"/>
to <link href="{{ public_path('css/pdf.css') }}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
this solve the problem form my side.

A: I had the same problem with Snappy on Lumen (almost same that Laravel) using Docker. I had to try several things to get it to finally work for me.
In my case, in the file config/snappy.php I put the following code:
'pdf' => [
    'enabled' => true,
    'binary'  => env('WKHTML_PDF_BINARY', '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf'),
    'timeout' => false,
    'options' => [
        'enable-local-file-access' => true,
        'keep-relative-links' => true,
    ],
    'env'     => [],
],

Setting the enable-local-files-access variable is the key to getting CSS/JS/IMG files to be read and loaded correctly. (wkhtmltopdf docs)
Then to define the path of the files (CSS/JS/IMG) in the HTML file, I used the method file:///var/www/html/public/<file-path> (in my case the files are in the public folder), for example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file:///var/www/html/public/html/css/icons/app.css" type="text/css"/>

<script src="file:///var/www/html/public/html/js/js_file.js"></script>

<img src="file:///var/www/html/public/html/css/img/icon.png"/>

It works fine for me without any problem. You can tailor the route to make it work for you.
Hope it helps you (despite the years) and helps another poor programmer who has to deal with Snappy.

The events in my personal life that have transpired over the past few weeks has forced me to question everything, the little things that don't matter in the scale of things, and the things that do matter and just the blessing of being able to wake each morning and be surrounded by those people I love.
Feel free to use it anyway you wish and know that I created it for you with love.
Oh dear Fee..I hope all is ok with you. I rise each morning and am grateful for everything. Especially friends like you that I would never have met without blogging.
Thnkyou Fee. I am going through my own personal fqamily trauma at the moment and these words are very apt. Thankyou for printing them.
From one sentimental girl to another your quote is lovely and so true. Waking up each day, breathing on your own, seeing the faces of your loved ones, hearing their voices....all blessings.
I wish you better times ahead.
You are such a big softie and we wouldn't have you any other way. I know that when I look into the smiling face of our girls and grandgirls I know that I am truly blessed and privileged to be in their lives.

What an apt quote....its appropriate for so many of us.
Sending you positive thoughts and huge hugs to get through these things.
I, too, hope all is well with you. I think of you often. Take care. Hugs.
I guess most of us have those curveball occasions in our lives at one time or another, and words like these can be what see us through to the other side. Wishing you every best thought that all will be well with you and yours as you continue to think on these words.
Good Morning, Fiona...What a blessing you are to all of us who read your blog this morning. Your grateful spirit is a model for all of us. God Bless you.

I would like to say how I appreciate your blog, your posts, and your lovely words.

At the end of the day, I found this post, that made me happy.
A hug full of good wishes to you.

Summary of Question 5
This question involves the Town's acceptance of G.L. c.44B, §§3-7, also known as the Community Preservation Act ("Act"), approving a surcharge of 1% of the tax levy on real property. The May 12, 2014 Annual Town Meeting voted to accept the Act and impose a surcharge in the amount of 1% of the annual tax levy, effective July 1, 2014, and further to provide an exemption under Section 3(e) of the Act for property owned and occupied as a domicile by a person who would qualify for low income housing or low or moderate income senior housing in the Town. The Act allows municipalities to impose a surcharge on real property to establish a dedicated source of funds for open space, historic resources and community housing purposes, and entitles the Town to receive a percentage of matching funds from the state. The Community Preservation Committee makes recommendations to Town Meeting on the use of such funds, and at least 10% of the funds to be collected through the surcharge, any other annual revenues appropriated to the fund, and the state match, must be spent or reserved for later spending on each of the Act's three community preservation purposes. All expenditures pursuant to the Act are subject to an annual audit.

"In 2009 I first turned to George Gascón to lead the San Francisco Police Department because of his track record of getting results. Sixteen months later police were actively engaging the community and homicides had plummeted by more than 50 percent. That's why, in my last act as a Mayor, I turned to him once more to succeed then-DA Kamala Harris. Over the next nine years he famously reduced crime while reducing incarceration, and he burnished a national reputation as a leader in the fight to reform our dated system of justice. This November Angelenos will choose who to turn to as calls to reimagine our dated system of justice grow louder, and I urge them to join me once again in turning to George Gascón."
"George Gascón is a proven leader of national significance when it comes to reforming our criminal justice system," said U.S. Senator Kamala Harris. "As DA of San Francisco, George led fights to reform the Three Strikes Law, decrease the state prison population and get people convicted of nonviolent offenses greater opportunities to get their lives back on track. As DA of LA County, I know George Gascón will work every day to keep our communities safe and demand real accountability from our justice system and real justice for every Angeleno."
"George Gascón will be a champion for change if elected to District Attorney in Los Angeles," said Secretary Julián Castro. "George has a consistent and strong record of holding the powerful accountable, and he will be a leader that fights for the important changes Los Angeles needs."
"George Gascón is running in a race the LA Times called the most important contest in the country outside of the presidency. Los Angeles is home to the largest criminal justice jurisdiction and jail in the nation. George is facing a two-term "tough on crime" incumbent who has been criticized by Black Lives Matter and the ACLU for failing to hold officers accountable for excessive use of force."
"George Gascón has been a national leader in criminal justice reform and a powerful advocate for rethinking our approach to public safety and ending mass incarceration. I'm proud to endorse him for Los Angeles County District Attorney."
"I am proud to endorse George Gascón for District Attorney. He knows how to promote public safety through partnerships with and beyond law enforcement. George Gascón will help our county shift the burden from the criminal justice system and jails toward diversion, intervention, and re-entry programs that save money and save lives. He is a leader who I have known and trusted for nearly twenty years who can meet this moment."
"There is so much at stake in this election," said Congressman Cárdenas. "We need to put the era of mass incarceration in the rear-view mirror, and George has a track record of safely reforming our institutions and holding the powerful accountable. Over his decades-long career in law enforcement he has stood up to protect women, families, immigrants, and the rule of law. He's the best choice to be LA's next DA."
"George Gascón has reduced violent crime in every leadership position he has held, proving that justice reform and community safety can go hand in hand. George has Long Beach roots and is a CSULB graduate. I'm proud to endorse a leader and a friend, for the position of Los Angeles County District Attorney."
"I am proud to endorse George Gascón for District Attorney," said Congressmember Nanette Barragán. "LA County has seen a 30% violent crime increase in the last 8 years, yet continues to maintain the biggest jail system in the country. The 'tough on crime' policies of the 90s have wreaked havoc on communities of color, and have yet to make us any safer. As DA, George employed innovative approaches that led to reduced jail and prison populations while violent crime dropped to historic lows in SF. I know he will bring the same vision and change to the LA DA office, one where community safety and an equitable justice system can be realized for all Angelenos."
"Throughout his career, George has consistently centered the lived experiences of people, and valued the partnership of community. He has advocated for progressive policies, including ending the death penalty, eliminating cash bail, and reducing mass incarceration. As L.A. District Attorney, I know George will continue the commitment to service and public safety that has defined his career. I'm proud to endorse his campaign."
"For decades the Los Angeles criminal justice system has divided Angelenos into two separate classes, communities of color and everyone else," said Congresswoman Maxine Waters. "George Gascón has demonstrated his commitment to equal justice, having reduced the sentencing disparity between African Americans and Caucasians by half, eliminating the conflict of interest that existed when police investigated themselves in the aftermath of a police shooting, and by holding officers accountable who used excessive force. Los Angeles needs a 21st century system of justice, we need George Gascón."
"He is an experienced administrator and a thoughtful progressive leader who will set the proper course for the LADA's office into the future. I believe that he is the right person, at the right moment, to lead the LADA's office and I wholeheartedly support him."
"The voters and the legislature alike continue to embrace reforms to end California's involvement in a failed war on drugs and the policies of mass incarceration that defined the 1980s and 1990s. Over the years, George Gascón has stood apart from his law enforcement colleagues, supporting reforms that are taking us safely into the 21st century. George has always stood up to the wealthy and well-connected, even if it meant that he would stand alone. That is the type of leadership that LA needs, and I'm proud to support him to be Los Angeles County District Attorney."
"George Gascón is a trailblazer in creating reforms that improve public safety and was the only District Attorney that supported statewide measures to prevent overuse of police force. I am proud to endorse Gascón for District Attorney for Los Angeles County and trust in his commitment to bring accountability and equity to our justice system."
Proud to support @GeorgeGascon for Los Angeles County District Attorney! He is a powerful and courageous reformer who will infuse our criminal justice system with more compassion, humanity, and safety!
"I am proud to endorse George Gascón for LA County DA," said California Assembly Majority Leader Ian Calderon. "In 2012, I became the first millennial to be elected to the California State Legislature, and I have been fighting for change across the state ever since. The next generation of Californian's want to see change - that is why I am endorsing George Gascón for Los Angeles District Attorney. As DA of San Francisco, George's work to reform the criminal justice system and modernize the role of the District Attorney proved to advance public safety and justice. He will bring the change we so desperately need here at home in LA--the largest jurisdiction in the country."
"I am endorsing George Gascón for Los Angeles DA. Our values and priorities are aligned when it comes to ending mass incarceration, investing in diversion, re-entry and real mental health solutions for the homeless. I urge you to support him too."
"George Gascón will hold polluters accountable, stand up to powerful corporations, and fight for criminal justice reform that repairs the damage done by generations of poor policy," said Bonin. "I am proud to endorse George for District Attorney and I am eager to help elect a trusted and proven progressive to this crucial office."
"I am proud to support George Gascón for District Attorney," said Councilmember Gilbert Cedillo. "We are at a point in our nation's history where the City and County of Los Angeles, home of 3.5 million immigrants, needs to have a voice when it comes to defending our Angelenos. We need a D.A. that will stand firm on our commitment to our diverse population and honor the role they play in making the City vibrant and culturally rich by protecting and promoting public health and safety within its boundaries. I am confident George is that leader, and that is why I am proud to support him for LA County District Attorney."
"I am proud to announce my endorsement of George Gascón for Los Angeles County District Attorney," said Dolores Huerta, civil rights activist and co-founder of the National Farmworkers Association. "His successful track record of progressive policies, and ability to simultaneously lower violent crime and protect our communities, proves that George is the champion we need to fundamentally reform LA's criminal justice system. I am confident that under his leadership the District Attorney's office will become a powerful ally in this important fight for equity, safety, and justice for all of our communities."
"For decades, George Gascón has fought to hold corporate polluters accountable, stand with marginalized communities, and reform a criminal legal system that continues to disproportionately impact communities of color without making our communities any safer. I am confident in George's experience, track record, and leadership. George will move Los Angeles in the direction we desperately need--one of reform--at a time when we face housing and behavioral health crises that demand novel solutions, not more jails and prisons. I enthusiastically endorse him for District Attorney."
"George Gascón has earned my endorsement for Los Angeles County District Attorney. Though it is rare that I get involved in elections involving the District Attorney's office, George Gascón is the leader we need for this massive office. I am convinced that he will bring the courage and leadership to make the necessary changes in the District Attorney's office and in the criminal justice system as a whole--changes that fair minded and practical Los Angeles residents need and demand."
George will make LA safer as DA, there is not doubt about it. George understands that when you make a community healthy, you make it safer. I learned a lot from George when we worked together, I trusted him, and I still trust him.
"I am proud to endorse George Gascón for L.A. County District Attorney," said West Hollywood Mayor Pro Tempore Lindsey Horvath. "George has been a tireless advocate for community safety, criminal justice reform, and survivors. As D.A. he prosecuted more than DOUBLE the national average of sexual assault cases and successfully fought to test every backlogged rape kit. George is the ally Angelenos need in our top law enforcement office, to make sure predators in LA are held accountable— and survivors are believed and see justice served. I wholeheartedly support George Gascón for L.A. County District Attorney."
"This moment, and this movement, is bigger than any one individual," said Deputy District Attorney Joseph Iniguez. "The nation is watching this race, and prosecutors across the country have been watching and following George's lead on criminal justice reform. George has proven he has the vision to lead the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office into the 21st Century, and has more management experience than the other candidates in this race combined."
"I've been a DA for over 30 years, and in that time I've seen the world change and the field of prosecution progress, but the DA's office under Jackie Lacey's leadership has remained stagnant," said Deputy DA Richard Ceballos who prosecutes Hate Crimes and Organized Crime. "Gascón has taken a hard stance against dangerous people, but he's developed modern programs and policies to deal with everyone else. That modern approach produces better outcomes, enhances justice, and reduces racial disparities. I'm proud to support George for DA."
"I know @GeorgeGascon will fight to reform the criminal justice system and that's why I'm proud to support him."
"George Gascón has been a longtime advocate and proven leader in criminal justice reform. I'm inspired by his vision of a legal system that serves all Angelenos and moved by his record of implementing ground-breaking reforms to reduce racial disparities in the system. As our nation continues to reckon with institutionalized racism, especially the impact of the criminal justice system, I know that George will bring much-needed change to Los Angeles county in pursuit of a more just system."
"George Gascón has spent his life working to make our justice system work for everyone, not just the wealthy and well connected," said Washington. "As DA, he reduced violent crime to historic lows AND fought for criminal justice reform. Vote Gascón for LA County District Attorney!"
"George Gascón has been behind so many of California's landmark criminal justice reforms, and that's why I'm so proud to support him to be LA's next District Attorney," said Cristela Alonzo. "We need leaders that stick up for all of us, and from standing up to Joe Arpaio's reign of terror in Arizona, to investigating and exposing racist cops in San Francisco. George has stood up to protect and defend the vulnerable. It's leaders like George that give me hope for a safer and more tolerant community, and it's leaders like George that we need to enact deep system change. He has bold ideas to reimagine criminal justice and I am proud to support him to be the next DA of Los Angeles."
George Gascón is the leader and advocate we need in an office as powerful as the LA District Attorney. As SF DA, he prosecuted more than double the national average of sexual assault cases and successfully fought to test every rape kit. George is committed to securing justice for survivors, as well holding police accountable, ending mass incarceration, and fighting for a system that works for everyone, not just the powerful & well connected. I am proud to endorse George Gascón for LA County DA.
"I am proud to endorse George Gascón for LA County District Attorney," said filmmaker Ava DuVernay. "Born and raised in Los Angeles--the largest incarcerator in the country--I have witnessed the unique violence perpetuated by the American justice system against the Black community. George's commitment to narrowing racial disparities in the system and holding police accountable, coupled with his track record of reform, is the change we desperately need right here at home. VOTE #GeorgeGascon for LA DA."
Proud to endorse @GeorgeGascon for #LosAngeles District Attorney. I know he will fight for a system that works for ALL Angelenos. Let's bring criminal justice reform home, to the US's largest county, w/the largest jail system in the world. #Justice4All
"The more work I do around mass incarceration, the more I recognize how important the district attorney is in the process of improving and bringing positive change to our criminal justice system," said Award-Winning Artist, Activist and Author, Common. "I've spent a lot of time around California and I've been to jails and communities all over LA County and I can see that people really want true justice and safety. It gives me hope to see people running for office who we can truly believe in that care and will do the work and that's why I'm supporting George Gascón."
"We spend billions and billions and billions of dollars on a system that does not make our community safer" said activist Susan Burton. "I believe we need a different approach to what makes our communities safe and what makes our criminal system just and I believe George Gascón will bring that to Los Angeles County."
"This is an important moment in history," said Chesa Boudin, San Francisco District Attorney. "George has been a pioneer in progressive prosecution, and this movement is spreading like wildfire because it's safer, more equitable, and far less costly than what we've been doing for decades. George gets that, and that's why he's LA's best choice for DA."
"As a beat cop, Assistant Chief of the LAPD and then District Attorney, George has a level of experience in our criminal justice system that is second to none," said John T. Chisholm, Milwaukee County District Attorney. "It's that depth of experience and insight into what works and what doesn't that makes George stand apart, I'm proud to support him."
"George Gascón was sounding the alarm on the injustices that define this country's dated approach to criminal justice long before the progressive prosecutors movement began," said Satana Deberry, Durham County District Attorney. "Lawyers as a breed tend to be risk averse, so seeing the reforms he's implemented accompany historic declines in violent crime showed many of us what was possible. He's been a trailblazer in this field, and I look forward to his continued success for the residents of LA."
"He has a record of standing up for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected," said Mark Gonzalez, Nueces County District Attorney. "We hear a lot of people talk about justice being blind, but in order for that to ring true we have to take a hard look at the racial disparities that pervade the criminal justice system. George has fought to restore the promise of fairness and equity in our system, and I'm proud to support him for Los Angeles DA."
"A good prosecutor doesn't necessarily make the popular decision," said Larry Krasner, Philadelphia District Attorney. "A good prosecutor makes the decision that is in the interests of justice and the community they serve. Sometimes that means holding the powerful accountable, even if it comes at personal cost, and sometimes that means giving someone who's been disadvantaged an opportunity and a second chance. George isn't a good prosecutor, he's a great prosecutor."
"George escaped communist Cuba as a young man where he saw the implications of unchecked police power," said Karl Racine, Attorney General for the District of Columbia. "That has shaped his views and made him a better prosecutor. He understands that public safety is fundamentally about reducing violence in order to make our communities safer, and he's thoughtful and respectful with the power of his office. George doesn't use the authority of the state simply because he can, he wields that power when he should."
"The criminal justice system is at the front-lines of our nation's dialogue on race," said Rachael Rollins, Suffolk County District Attorney. "Whether he was using artificial intelligence to reduce the threat of implicit bias, or pushing initiatives that have successfully reduced the sentencing disparity between African Americans and Caucasians by half, George hasn't just been a passenger to this necessary conversation - he's been driving it."
If we are going to get Serious about holding the LAPD Accountable for brazen Use of Force- we're going to have to Elect a District Attorney ready and able to Prosecute egregious Police actions. We must Elect @GeorgeGascon in November.
"For too long, our dated system of justice has put a premium on punishment and length of sentence, over public safety and the needs of our communities," said Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx. "But that approach has failed us, proving to be inequitable, expensive, and ultimately adversarial to our long-term health and safety. In America's largest jurisdiction we need a progressive prosecutor who is willing to implement policies backed by science and research, and who has a track record of reducing crime and incarceration. That prosecutor is George Gascón, and I'm proud to support him to be LA's next District Attorney."

ICE CREAM CITY – 50 YEARS AFTER THE TRAGEDY OF VAJONT
by Diambra Mariani
Vajont dam, one of the tallest in the world, was built in the valley of the Vajont River, under Monte Toc, in 1959.
All the projects about Vajont disaster end at 22:39 of 9 October 1963, when a landslide caused the overtopping of the dam, provoking around 2,000 deaths and completely destroying the city of Longarone.
Little is known and has been told about what happened later.
"Ice cream city" is a collection of portraits of the protagonists of the fifty years between the tragedy and today: the survivors, the priest, the engineeers and architects who decidedto rebuild Longarone where it was before, all the people who came from the outside looking for a job during the reconstruction (and the resulting development of the local industry). People who have quickly rebuilt houses and roads, but are still struggling to build a country, divided between what has been deleted and can't go back, and what nobody knows is going to happen in the future.
This valley has always been famous for its ice cream that has always been exported everywhere. In 2011 the city council has decided to place a billboard at the entryway of Longarone: "The ice cream city". The survivors' committee would like to change it with another billboard: "The city of the 2000 victims".

When I went back to the cyber world after the death of my brother, I vowed that I will make a blog post every 16th of the month until his first year anniversary. It's just my simple tribute to the stubborn guy with a good heart. But instead of posting my laments of his passing, I decided to start posting happy memories of him. Though the pain is still fresh, I think it's about time for me to accept the fact that he is gone and start moving forward but will glance back from time to time to the happy memories I had with him.
This one is about one of the things he's passionate about - chickens! When we were young, our mother often takes us with her every time she visits the farm. In there, we would usually play and take a bath in the artesian well during planting time or watch people harvest crops during harvest time. My brother is not one of the kids who would tumble and play in the hay, fly kites in the field or climb trees. Instead, he would often raid our caretaker's chicken coop to check for some chicks he can bring home. Even if the chicken is at the farthest branch of the tallest tree in the area or in the innermost part of the hut, if he decided that he wants that particular creature, he will surely do everything just to get it. He even cries to our mother if he cannot get what he wants.
To spare him from more troubles in catching the chickens, our caretakers decided to keep their best chicks in the coop so that if we'll go there, he'll never have to go through lots of chasing to get what he wanted. I am not sure how many chickens he brought home over the years but one thing I am sure of, he still cares about his chickens wherever he is right now. One of his friends (whom he entrusted some of his chickens) told us that a few days before their supposed cockfight (during his wake), something is weird going on where the chickens are kept. Before they went to sleep, they covered the cage with cloth probably to protect the chicken from cold. But when they woke up the next morning, the cloth is no longer how they left it. It has already been drawn just like the way they're doing it every morning. It happens two days in a row they said. Another friend also dreamt about him asking about the chicken he gave to that friend.
As of this time, my mother has started to give away or sell his chickens but left a few so as not to totally get rid of his memories. The remaining chickens are cared for by my mother's spinster cousin who has been with us for as long as I can remember. He is even crying when he fed the chicken a few days after my brother's death.
I just hope that there would be cockfighting and TV shows specifically about chickens (he used to watch shows on cable and videos on YouTube) wherever he is right now so that he will be having a blast even in life after death.


The gateway functions allow data exchange between all available communication technologies. This is accomplished by using "connections" which connect data points of different technologies with each other. Both "1-to-n" and "m-to-1" connections are supported. Connections can contain simple or complex calculations. Different engineering units of connected data points are automatically converted. Connections can easily be created using templates. They are distinguished into local and global connections. Connections can be created manually or automatically using the Smart Auto-Connect™ feature of the Configurator tool. Especially the automated creation of connections reduces engineering effort and helps preventing configuration errors.
Static	Static routers require an administrator to manually set up and configure the routing table and to specify each route.
Dynamic	Dynamic routers are designed to discover routes automatically and therefore require a minimal amount of setting up and configuration. More sophisticated than static routers, they examine information from other routers and make packet-by-packet decisions about how to send data across the network.
Routers communicate with each other to share information about available paths and directly connected routes.
A Static route can be manually programmed to create a routing table. This means that all data will follow the same route. This is also known as non-adaptive routing. Each node on the WAN has a fixed routing table. All messages for a particular destination must follow a predetermined path this is good for determining secure routes.
If a node is faulty, added or removed the tables will have to be altered manually. This method does not cope well with unplanned events such as breakdown or congestion although it does use less router processor overhead.
Most routers are dynamic with the capability of being statically configured.
In digital communication systems, a repeater is a device that receives a digital signal on an electromagnetic or optical transmission medium and regenerates the signal along the next leg of the medium. In electromagnetic media, repeaters overcome the attenuation caused by free-space electromagnetic-field divergence or cable loss. A series of repeaters make possible the extension of a signal over a distance.
A bridge is a device that connects and passes packets between two network segments that use the same communications protocol. Bridges operate at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI reference model. A bridge will filter, forward or flood an incoming frame based on the MAC address of that frame.
Hubs and switches function as a common connection point for the workstations, printers, file servers and other devices that make up a network. The main difference between hubs and switches is the way in which they communicate with the network. A hub functions as the central connection point of a network.


Volcanoes show us how the earth changes. Volcanoes can be made of lava, gases, hot steam, ground-up rocks and melted rock called lava. Scientists study volcanoes and the earth's movement and try to understand how they erupt.

2. Research Motivation and Interdisciplinarity
Despite the notable decline of food insecurity worldwide in the last decade, 795 million people remain undernourished, especially in emergency settings where the availability of and the access to nutritious food often continues to be a critical concern for victims of natural and human-made disasters.1 The concept of food security is based on four intertwined dimensions: availability, access, use and quality. Addressing all four dimensions of food security for these victims remains a challenge for the international community and national governments in light of ineffective outcomes of food aid, particularly in protracted and complex humanitarian emergencies.2 At the same time, displaced individuals resort to various survival and coping strategies such as cultivating vegetable gardens for self-sustenance.3 However, very little is known in either the natural or the behavioral sciences about the nature and the effectiveness of such basic agricultural survival strategies and their impact in reducing food insecurity, not just through provision of food but also through their nutritional and safe use.
Previous studies of food security at times disregarded the emergency characteristics of the agricultural system or failed to include a nuanced understanding of these (sometimes endogenous) processes in the analyses. Recent advances in conflict and disaster research have helped to understand how emergencies themselves are socio-economic systems which can be analyzed at both macro and micro levels.4 Hence rather than considering "emergency" to be a background of food insecurity, we are now better equipped to understand the detailed "emergency" system and its interactions with and relevance to both food security and the wider agricultural system working under emergency conditions.
There remain both system-wide knowledge gaps as well as research questions focusing on the role of individuals, groups and institutions in creating, shaping and overcoming food insecurity in emergencies. The reliance only on national measures of food availability during crises disregards crucial individual-level, socio-economic aspects relevant to understanding food security. These include but are not limited to: consumption, diet diversification, and measures of malnutrition. With the increasing availability of household and individual-level data sources in emergency settings, it is feasible to provide meaningful measures of food security, as well as to undertake rigorous interdisciplinary causal-effect approaches and analyses on food access, production, and intake.

Tudor Rose [map]
BN18 9AG
Last Visited: March 2010
Located in the Antiques capital of West Sussex, the Tudor Rose is nestled in amongst the favourite haunts of the many tourists who visit the town
Opening Times: Breakfasts are served from 9am to 11:30am, though the signs did say that the breakfast special offers are only available from 9-11am
Breakfast Price: From £1.85 (Croissant with Jam or Marmalade) to £4.75 (Tudor Rose Breakfast with tea and Toast). All-day breakfasts are available after the breakfast specials stop, but cost £8.75
Mr No Eggs:
Breakfast: Tudor Rose Breakfast (minus the egg, but with extra hash browns)
I really didn't know what to expect from today's breakfast and when I entered The Tudor Rose it's décor, which looked like it was straight out of either a medieval museum exhibit, did nothing to quell my apprehension. However, it is possible to eventually start enjoying something you normally wouldn't be quite your cup of tea.
Despite the limited breakfast menu, dated interior the breakfast was very satisfying. Though the menu is a page long, really there is only one breakfast on offer (and after 11am it doubles in price), but what you get was very nicely cooked and of a good standard. The sausages and bacon were almost butcher quality, but as the were only one of each, to satisfy a hearty appetite extra items will be needed. The 'extras' on the menu, hash-brown's aside (2 for £1), available were very expensive. A side of Beans (a whole cereal bowl full) was £1.75 and Mushrooms £2.40. I suppose they could be shared between two, but a small scoop of each could have been added to the breakfast for an extra 50p?
In all this was a simple, cheap and satisfying breakfast in a restaurant with bags of character. If you end up in Arundel and tired of the hordes of tourists taking over the streets, a trip to the Tudor Rose, before 11am, is recommended.
The Bacon Butty:
Breakfast: Tudor Rose Breakfast (with extra Hash Browns and Beans)
In a time when vintage is all the rage, the tutor rose takes this to all new heights with a blend of classic food and a medieval armoury on the wall.
The Bacon Butty consumed the standard breakfast meal which consisted of bacon, a sausage, toast, a fried slice and a fried egg. On the side The Butty ordered two hash browns and a side of beans. The baked beans were overwhelming as they arrived in a cereal bowl, and were of the Heinz variety. The food portions where not generous but the quality was fantastic and cannot be faulted.
Friendly atmosphere and the fresh orange juice was lovely. For me however the highlight was a photo of the Queen. I recommend that you visit the Tudor Rose "the Flower of Arundel"

I love this genre of horror/comedy, and to boot this is a full fledged musical with original songs, and for the most part this is pretty good, the songs are fun and theres some good jokes/refernces to broadway musicals, however the biggest flaw is that I saw the ending/reveal for this movie literally within the first 20 mins, and it's not that great of a reveal either, but I will say I love me some Meat Loaf and it's great to see him in action again, not a bad way to kill 90 min
Stage Fright had a strange musical-horror thing going for it that I really expected to find entertaining. I'm sure some of it is intended to be cliche and silly as it is, but a lot of it doesn't work. The metal music grinding, over the top acting of the masked villain really played against what I thought the movie had going for it. His character exemplified exactly what I realized the film was going for: over-the-top silliness, which I think didn't work very well. It was too obvious to be considered dark comedy, which it what I felt the film was going for and didn't do as well. Watch the trailer: it's a good trailer that appears to set up the right tone for the film. I'm not sure if its as much terrible as it is just a misfire of a film.
Campy and fun, Stage Fright is a whimsical tale of murder and theater. When the Center Stage theater camp revives a production of The Haunting of the Opera a mysterious killer appears and starts killing off the campers. The musical numbers are pretty good, featuring catchy songs and impressive choreography. However, the story is kind of cliche and poorly told. The characters too are stereotypes without much depth. But despite its weak spots, Stage Fright is entertaining in a comically bizarre sort of way.

Jam City is buying TinyCo, a San Francisco studio that's built a thriving business out of converting Hollywood brands into popular mobile games. They've already done it with Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff and Marvel Avengers Academy. More importantly, with other equally iconic titles in hand now, they're going to do it again soon.
