Liverpool 1 – 1 Arsenal: One For The Neutrals!
Posted on August 15, 2010 by Anushree Nande
Where are my manners? First of all, all the Gooners should heartily thank the guy who had a 'I can do this much better than Robert Green' moment. If not for his fumble of catastrophic proportion, it would have been a sorry start to the season indeed. Always be thankful for the small mercies, just took on a deeper meaning! Jokes apart, my mood would be distinctly different had we given up the three points to Liverpool today. And I'm also somewhat in the position to be magnanimous to the Liverpool keeper who had an excellent game otherwise, making some amazing saves – Walcott and Rosicky's curlers and Vermaelen's first half free-kick, in particular. We would have certainly scored more than 1 goal if not for his fine saves.
Call this jumping to conclusions, but all my defensive worries with only Kosicelny coming in after the departure of the Campbell-Gallas-Silvestre trio, came true. The Ngog goal was superbly taken by the young Frenchman but the defensive lapses that gave him the opportunity to shoot were inexcusable, as was Almunia's positioning. The back-four looked shaky throughout the 90 odd minutes and this is the most urgent area which needs work and repair. My heart, for one, is certainly not going to withstand many final quarters of the game similar to today! It was also apparent that we terribly missed the reassuring presence of Alexandre Song anchoring the midfield and defence.
Liverpool, to their credit, used half-time to reorganise and mentally psyche themselves beyond belief from the harsh sending off of Joe Cole, and came into the second half stronger than ever. Away at Anfield, on the opening day of the season is always going to be a tough fixture. Even with the state of Liverpool last season. But it was a 'same old Arsenal' scenario which is 'so last year'. And the year before that. And before that. I'm not saying we are going to be this bad every game. But it was shameful that we had to rely on a last-minute comical gaffe from Reina to draw a game which we should have won in all probability. We were one man stronger than them. And the better attacking side. With more chances. But as we are so frustratingly prone to do, we wasted good chances, passed around the ball when we should have shot at goal, and were defensively shakier than a one-legged man. Plus, as I've said before, we came up against an impressive Reina performance in goal. Granted, that teams always need a bit of luck (Man Utd comes to mind), and to be fair, we did fight manfully after going a goal down. But it was the possibility that we really haven't learned anything from past seasons that was more worrying.
Arsenal's midfield terribly missed the presence of talismanic captain Cesc Fabregas, and Jack Wilshere's inclusion did not add much to the ammunition. However, he's still very much a young player and will hopefully learn from these mistakes. Arsenal were certainly the better attacking force but the new formation also played its part in not giving them a 'settled in' feel. I am not too sure whether I am in favour of this 4-5-1 in place of last season's 4-4-2 which was much more successful. Or maybe its apparent non-success was down to Chamakh's inexperience in the EPL. Or the fact that with Bendtner injured and RVP lacking match-fitness, Wenger was forced to play the Moroccan as the lone man up front. Only a few more matches will really show results in favour or against.
There were however some positives. Rosicky and Walcott both played their cameo parts brilliantly after coming on from the substitute bench. Both were highly unlucky not to have a goal each to their name after superb saves from the Spaniard in goal. Chamakh had an alright debut game and wasted a few chances but definitely seems like a bright prospect. Nasri had a good game as well, though he was prone to some hesitation and over-passing. (He should be even more effective as part of a pair with Fabregas) Arshavin, on the other hand, did not have his annual 'I love Anfield so much I'm going to score at least once' perfomance and was quite disappointing. RVP looked lacking in match practice and I for one, think that pairing him up with Chamakh up front is going to be much more effective for the Gunners.
Teams, results, players' performances, errors, points apart, Martin Atkinson is probably going to be the centre of controversy and discussion. Joe Cole's lunge on Koscielny hardly merited a red. Especially after Jack Wilshere's dangerous tackle just minutes before was only shown a yellow. Little did Kosicelny know that he would have a debut to remember for the wrong reasons. I doubt he would have imagined getting 2 successive yellow cards in injury time! For me, the second one, for handball was a bit harsh as it was quite unintentional and unavoidable, and not much different from Ngog's, earlier in the match.
Final verdict? Not the ideal performance to start off the season by any standards and there's a lot to be done … But it could have been so much worse and I'd take a thrilling last-minute comeback + 1 point at Anfield any day over no points at all! I think most Gooners will be with me on this, right?
PS: A couple of the choicest words might be necessary to shake the Arsenal so that they face the reality of today's game, which they made more difficult for themselves. But all praises to a 10-man Liverpool for a gutsy second-half performance!

Transfer roundup: Leeds to sign McKennie, Forest close in on Shelvey January 30, 2023


Can I use the manual aperture ring on an SMC 50mm f/1.7 with a K-30?
I have an odd problem. I snagged an SMC 50mm f/1.7 from Ebay, and I can adjust the aperture with the lens off of the camera throughout its range, but when I put it on the camera, it's stuck at 1.7. Anyone know why? Is there a setting I need to change in the camera somewhere?
I am assuming you have a SMC Pentax-M 50/1.7.
Are you saying you can't move the aperture ring? That would be very strange and an indication that something is not right (hard to say what) with your lens.
If, on the other hand, you are saying that you move the ring, but the aperture stays wide open, that is what you would expect. The lens should stay open until exposure time. That being said, your camera is not configured, out of the box, for use with vintage lenses lacking the "A" electric contacts on the mount face.
All K-mount lenses are held wide open by the camera body at all times except exposure time. This is necessary for accurate metering, and to not have an overly dark viewfinder.
The way aperture works on K-mount lenses is that there is a small spring loaded lever on the back, which if unblocked would go straight to the smallest aperture (usually f/22). The aperture ring puts a small block somewhere along the path, corresponding to the desired aperture. When the lever is released, the lever goes to this point and is stopped, giving you the aperture desired. When the lens is off the body, the lever freely moves, so it is by default at whatever the aperture ring blocks it at. When on the camera, the lever is held all the way open. At exposure time, it releases the lever. If it has a manual aperture ring, it will hit whatever the aperture ring block is set to. If it is automatic, the camera directly controls the aperture lever.
Make sure to set the camera to allow aperture ring use in the custom settings, and use the green button to meter before taking the shot, because all Pentax DSLRs have a "crippled" K-mount in that they don't have the proper contacts to meter without automatic aperture.
Yes, I've found that lever, and I'm familiar with the rather cumbersome method of using the camera's metering capability via the green button. However, I want to do everything manually, without using the green button. I essentially do not want the camera to interact with the lens's aperture ring at all. Is it possible to do this?
Okay, it seems that the reason that the lens is held wide open until the shutter is closed is to keep the image in the viewfinder bright. If that's the case, then I guess the green button is actually rather innovative. Thanks for the links, gents.
No, it is not possible with K_Mount lenses. They stay fully open until the moment of exposure.
It is possible with Asahi Pentax Takumar screwmount lenses, though. These attach with an M42 to K-Mount adapter (get the original from Pentax).
I use my green button sometimes to meter, in other words, get the camera to tell me where it thinks my shutter speed needs to be based on the aperture and ISO that I have set, but then I stop up/down each of the 3 legs to where I want them to be and as long as I don't hit the button again, I'm operating fully manua. It's a useful tool, especially considering that you don't have the use it.
Alternately, you can use it for each shot as a quasi-auto exposure mode, but I think the only thing it will change is shutter speed, which is not always the right choice. For example, if I'm shooting in low light indoors, like bar, I'll have my ISO set conservatively, but will inch it up to get where I need for it to be. The camera via the green button on the other hand will slow my shutter speed down to something not useable while hand holding.
So, it takes a little getting used to, but it's a good tool if you don't let it take over. I've been saying that I didn't really care about A Lenses, because I wasn't missing anything. But lately, I've been shooting in TAv mode with my modern lenses and I'm getting kind of hooked on it. I can get to the same place with my K lens in M, but it takes a little longer. Something I'm sure experience would remedy as well.
Yeah, the realization that you only have to hit the green button when you change the aperture dawned on me while I was reading through one of the links the other posters left above. Now I see what the green button is: a good way to get baseline settings when you change the aperture.
... Now I see what the green button is: a good way to get baseline settings when you change the aperture.
Or when the light changes or you move or for whatever reason just want fresh baseline metering. I originally tried to use it as a "mode", which I grew very tired of.
Or when the light changes or you move or for whatever reason just want fresh baseline metering.
This is the key. In most circumstances, the light does not change much during the time spent with a particular subject. Realizing this is often the key to difficult lighting situations. A few years back I was shooting a stage presentation (spot-lit with dark backdrop as well as presentation screens in the background) and having terrible a terrible time with the getting appropriate exposure. During a break, I switched to M mode, took a gray card reading at the stage, and shot with the same settings for the remainder of the presentation. Worked great.
I also shoot quite a bit with meterless or stop-down metered film cameras. It is tedious and usually unnecessary to meter between each shot and strangely enough, I generally get somewhat better results than if I were using Av or P mode with my more capable cameras.

In 1969 Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin conceived the idea of a national teach-in to increase public awareness of the rampant environmental problems of the times. On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated. In celebration of both this large Gaylord Nelson project and Nelson's Earth Day legacy, this gallery comprises a selection of 130 Nelson images from 1954-2006.
The photographs in this gallery document Nelson's early life in Clear Lake, Wisconsin as well as his career as Governor of Wisconsin, U.S. Senator, founder of Earth Day, and his work as an environmentalist. Several images show Nelson with prominent people, many of whom were his close personal friends.
The collection spans the years 1954-2006, covering Nelson's senatorial career and his post-senatorial activities, and documents his greatest legislative achievements, including the establishment of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore; the preservation of the Appalachian Trail; the incorporation of the St. Croix, Namekagon, and Wolf rivers into the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System; and the organization of the first national Earth Day Teach-In. Nelson also contributed to the development of the Environmental Education Act; and aided in the passage of the Menominee Restoration Act and the establishment of the Upper Great Lakes Regional Commission.
Nelson may be less well known as one of only three senators opposed to the war in Vietnam; for his strong advocacy of civil rights; for his efforts to combat poverty; for his fight against the tire and automobile industry to adopt new safety standards; and for opening up the discourse on the problems and abuses of the pharmaceutical industry. It was said by his colleagues that Nelson was the conscience of the Senate and he was well known for his bipartisan leadership.
Gaylord Nelson Canoeing The Namekagon River, 1966 ca.
Nelson donated a portion of his senatorial papers to the Society in 1974; the rest of the materials arrived in 1980 upon Nelson's defeat in the Senate. These two accessions constituted the bulk of the Nelson collection, totaling 1,040 boxes of paper, audio recordings, films, photographs, scrapbooks and video recordings. The papers remained unprocessed, however, until 2006 when the Society received a generous grant from the Evjue Foundation. In addition to the grant, the Nelson Institute of Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has been a major financial contributor to the project.
Since then, the work to identify, organize and describe the materials in the collection has been ongoing. And now the most significant portion of the collection has been preserved, organized and described in a finding aid available online through the Society's website. The Society also holds Nelson's official papers as governor of Wisconsin (1959-1963).
Note: To read more about Gaylord Nelson and the environmental movement in Wisconsin, see Nelson's Earth Day Legacy website. The Gaylord Nelson papers and other records are available to the public at the Wisconsin Historical Society during regular archives hours. View the catalog listing for the Gaylord Nelson Papers, 1954-2006. View Nelson's biography on the Wisconsin Historical Society website.

Most People Prefer Automobility
As Charlotte tries to figure out how to pay for additional passenger rail service, Raleigh decides whether to join with Durham and Chapel Hill to create passenger rail service, and Triad communities decide whether to decide to create passenger rail service, those who pay close attention to actual commuter behavior will be yawning.
You see, the vast majority of North Carolinians — and Americans — will never use rail or bus transit on a regular basis. Indeed, most of them have and will never set foot in a city bus or regional rail car. Mass transit is irrelevant to their lives, except as an expense on their tax bill or a distraction from building or expanding the roads they use to get to work, school, shopping, or other destinations.
That's not to say that transit is useless, or that localities ought not to fund transit service. The point is that transit is primarily a program of public assistance, a means of providing mobility to people who either can't afford personal vehicles or can't operate them for some medical reason. Transit has some convenience users and even a few ideologically motivated users, but not many.
Exceptions? Sure, there are a handful. New York City, Washington, Chicago, San Francisco — just a handful. These are places where high densities and high housing prices (related phenomena, by the way) combine with unique geography to create some demand for convenience use of transit. But in most metropolitan housing markets, the vast majority of consumers opt for low-density living in owner-occupied homes to the extent their income allows it. That usually means that as they marry, have children, and experience rising incomes, they move further away from urban cores and disperse in patterns poorly suited to rail service.
For all the talk about New Urbanism, "multi-modal transportation," and the like, automobility not only remains the default option for North Carolinians and most other Americans, but also has been increasing over time, not decreasing.
Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported on a new study by the U.S. Census Bureau. It found that 76 percent of Americans drove to and from work by themselves in 2012, compared to 64 percent who did so in 1980. That automobility rate for 2012 is close to the all-time high of 77 percent, set in 2005. Why has automobility risen? Because incomes have been rising faster than car prices. To the extent people can afford to buy cars for personal mobility, they usually do so.
By comparison, carpooling went from 20 percent of commuters in 1980 to 10 percent in 2012. Transit's market share dropped from 6 percent to 5 percent. Walking or biking dropped from 7 percent to 5 percent. Meanwhile, working from home roughly doubled, to just over 4 percent.
Again, to observe that about three-quarters of workers drive their own cars, and are unlikely to stop doing so without strong motivation, is still to recognize that about one-quarter of them are doing something else. There is nothing wrong with states and localities using high-occupancy-toll (HOT) lanes to encourage carpooling and express service by personal car or bus, or running efficient bus systems for the car-less, or ensuring that sidewalks are in serviceable shape for pedestrians. Governments should be particularly keen to eliminate all barriers to telecommuting, which is actually a growing phenomenon rather than a shrinking one.
But policymakers shouldn't be spending such a disproportionate amount of their time, and the taxpayers' money, trying to make transit into something that it will never be. What's worse, policymakers who understand the clash between the transit-friendly development they envision and the auto-friendly development that most people want tend not to accept the verdict of the public. They resort to coercion — to intrusive land-use regulations, punitive taxes, and wealth redistribution — in an attempt to substitute their preferences for those of their subjects citizens.
The result won't be some New Urbanist paradise. It will be a combination of higher costs, horrendous traffic, and public resentment. Let's not go there, by any transportation mode.

The housemates competing for this position are; Butterphly, Idris, JJ, Macky2, M'am Bea, Nhlanhla, Sipe and Tayo and one of them will be crowned as the Big Brother Hotshot on Sunday, December 7, in the explosive finale.
However the housemates do not go out empty handed as IK had told the housemates in the house that as a reward for making it to the final week, Big Brother had arranged a special treat for making it to the final week. A concert featuring Addiction, Dee Moneey and Tekno.
Who do you think stands a chance to be the ultimate Hotshot?

Archea Epidavros (  ,Antikes-Epidauros') ist eine Ortsgemeinschaft in der griechischen Gemeinde Epidavros. Der Hauptort ist die kleine Hafenstadt Palea Epidavros (  ,Alt-Epidauros'), die etwa 13 km von der berühmten Asklepios-Heilstätte Epidauros entfernt an der Küste des  Saronischen Golfes in der Landschaft Argolis auf der Peloponnes liegt. Die Stadt Palea Epidavros wird oftmals auch Archea Epidavros genannt.

Gemeindegliederung
Palea Epidavros war bis 1992 eine selbständige Landgemeinde ( kinotita) und wurde 1992 zur Gemeinde ( dimos) erhoben und offiziell in Archea Epidavros umbenannt. Die Stadt behielt jedoch ihren Namen. 1997 wurde mit dem Kapodistrias-Programm Archea Epidavros zum Gemeindebezirk herabgestuft. Von nun kam auch der Name Archea Epidavros für die Stadt in Gebrauch obwohl der offizielle Name weiterhin Palea Epidavros lautete. Die südlich der Halbinsel gelegene Ortschaft Spilia ( ) wurde nun ein Stadtteil von Palea Epidavros und südlich von Epano Epidavros wurde die neue Ortschaft Panorama ( ) gegründet. 2011 wurde Archea Epidavros schließlich zur Ortsgemeinschaft herabgestuft. Die neu gegründeten Ortschaften Agia Paraskevi und Galani und das Kloster Kalamiou kamen neu dazu.

Geschichte und Mythen
Die ältesten Funde aus der antiken Hafenstadt Epidauros stammen aus der mykenischen Zeit (15. bis 11. Jahrhundert v. Chr.). Nach der Überlieferung hieß die Stadt ursprünglich Epitauros und wurde von Karern bewohnt. Als Gründer der Stadt gilt Epidauros, der Sohn des Apollon. Nach dem Hymnos des Isyllos gründete der Epidaurier Malos das Heiligtum des Apollon Maleatas. Als der Räuber Periphetes hier sein Unwesen trieb und Reisende mit einer ehernen Keule erschlug kam der Held Theseus und tötete ihn. Homer berichtete, dass das Weinreiche Epidauros unter Diomedes am Trojanischen Krieg teilnahm. Bei der Eroberung der Peloponnes durch die Herakleiden übergab König Pityreus, der Sohn des Ion, die Stadt kampflos an Deiphontes.

Im 7. Jahrhundert v. Chr. regierte der Tyrann Prokles in Epidauros. Sein Schwiegersohn Periander, der Tyrann von Korinth, eroberte jedoch die Stadt und nahm Prokles gefangen. Im 7. und 6. Jahrhundert v. Chr. war Epidauros Mitglied der Amphiktyonie von Kalauria. Nach Herodot wurde die Insel Ägina von Dorern aus Epidauros besiedelt und die Insel war zunächst von der Stadt abhängig, fiel jedoch um 600 v. Chr. ab. Als es zu Missernten in Epidauros kam, fragte man in Delphi um Rat. Das Orakel empfahl Damia und Auxesia Statuen aus Olivenholz zu errichten. Aus diesem Grund bat man Athen um Olivenholz, versprach in Zukunft der Athena Polias und dem Erechtheus in Athen zu opfern und hielt sich an dieses Versprechen. Ägina überfiel jedoch Epidauros und raubte die Kultstatuen. Epidauros stellte die Opfergaben ein und Athen forderte sie nun von Ägina, das sich weigerte.

Zusammen mit Troizen soll Epidauros Ionien besiedelt haben. Während Troizen Halikarnassos und Myndos gegründet, gründete Epidauros Kos, Nisyros und Kalydna. Ende des 6. oder Anfang des 5. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. gründete man das berühmte Asklepieion von Epidauros. Während der Invasion des Xerxes stellte man acht Schiffe bei der Schlacht bei Artemision und zehn bei der Schlacht von Salamis. Außerdem schickte man ein Heer zur Verteidigung des Isthmus von Korinth und 800 Kämpfer zur Schlacht von Plataiai – sie standen in der Schlachtreihe den Baktrern gegenüber. Um 460 v. Chr. kam es zu einem Konflikt mit Argos. 458 v. Chr. kamen Korinth und Epidauros der Stadt Halieis gegen Athen zu Hilfe. Während Thukydides den Peloponnesiern den Sieg zu spricht behauptet Diodor, dass Athen die Oberhand behielt. Den Abfall Megaras von Athen unterstützte Epidauros zusammen mit Korinth und Sikyon. Im Sommer 430 v. Chr. landete ein athenisches Heer an der Küste von Epidauros, verwüstete das Land konnte die Stadt jedoch nicht erobern. Nachdem Athen im Sommer 425 v. Chr. das epidaurischen Land nochmals überfiel kam es im Sommer 423 v. Chr. zum Waffenstillstand zwischen Athen und den Peloponnesiern, den Amphias, der Sohn des Eupaiidas, für die Epidaurer unterzeichnete. 419 v. Chr. kam es zwischen Argos und Epidauros zum Krieg. Als Vorwand diente die epidaurische Weigerung, dem Apollon Pythios ein Opfer zu bringen. Bis ins Jahr 418 v. Chr. fiel Argos mehrmals ins Land ein und verwüstete ein Drittel der Ländereien. Sparta stationierte schließlich 300 Kämpfer in der Stadt. Ende 418 v. Chr. besetzte Athen die kleine Halbinsel auf der sich der Hera-Tempel von Epidauros befand und befestigte diese Stellung. Im folgenden Winter zwang Athen Sparta seine Truppen in Epidauros abzuziehen und dessen Mauern zu schleifen.

368 v. Chr. fielen die Argiver wieder in Epidauros ein. Der Athener Chabrias eilte der Stadt jedoch zu Hilfe und erschien im Rücken der Angreifen. Nur durch das Eingreifen der Arkader konnten die Argiver entkommen. 243 v. Chr. war Epidauros Mitglied des Achaiischen Bund. Aratos von Sikyon landete 223 v. Chr. in Epidauros um gegen Argos zu ziehen. Ab 115/4 v. Chr. war die Stadt mit Rom verbündet. In der Synekdemos des Hierokles, einer Auflistung der Eparchien des Byzantinischen Reichs des 6. Jahrhunderts n. Chr., wurde Epidauros unter dem Namen Pilaura () aufgeführt.

Beschreibung
In der Antike war Palea Epidavros die zur Heilstätte zugehörige Hafenstadt, über die viele Pilger zum Asklepieion reisten. Heute nutzen viele Touristen das idyllische Örtchen, das schier von Zitronen- und Orangenhainen umschlungen zu sein scheint, nicht selten als Übernachtungsort, um von hier aus Epidauros zu besuchen.

Auf der Halbinsel Nisi, welche die Bucht von Palea Epidavros in zwei Hälften teilt, sind noch deutliche Reste des antiken Ortes zu besichtigen. So finden sich oben auf dem Akropolishügel Reste einer imposanten Mauer, die wohl in byzantinischer Zeit zu einem Kastell gehörten, jedoch auf antiken Ursprung zur Ummauerung der Akropolis hinweisen. An der südwestlichen Ecke der Akropolis haben Archäologen die Reste eines kleinen Theaters mit 18 Sitzreihen und den Fundamenten eines Bühnenhauses freigelegt, wobei bei den vorderen Sitzen über Rückenlehnen verfügten. Man vermutet, dass dieses Theater einem Dionysos-Heiligtum beigeordnet war. Ebenso wurden ausgedehnte antike Hausbauten auf dem Areal der Halbinsel aufgedeckt. Etwa 375 m südwestlich des kleinen Theaters befindet sich das sogenannte Grab der Ärzte. Hier fand man in den drei Sarkophagen neben den sterblichen Überresten auch medizinische Instrumente. Das Familiengrab wurde von Ärzten aus aufeinanderfolgenden Generationen aus dem 1. und 2. Jahrhundert n. Chr. belegt.

Dass der Ort bereits in mykenischer Zeit besiedelt war, beweisen mykenische Gräber, die in der Ortsmitte freigelegt werden konnten.

Reste von antiken Bauten sind am südwestlichen Ende der Halbinsel unter Wasser zu sehen. Etwas weiter südlich findet man in der Nähe des Ufers unter Wasser die Überreste eines römischen Gutshofes. In Google Earth sind außerdem sehr gut die von der Spitze dieser Halbinsel im Bogen nach Südosten führenden unter Wasser noch vorhandenen Reste einer großen Kaimauer zu sehen, durch die der südwestliche Teil der Bucht ehemals zu einem Hafen von beträchtlicher Größe ausgebaut war.

Um Palea Epidavros gibt es mehrere markierte Wanderwege. Einer führt vom Vagionia-Strand vorbei an den Stränden von Kalamaki und Sarandakoupi zum etwa 2 km nördlich des Ortes gelegenen Kloster Panagia Polemarcha.

Does anyone know why I keep getting that error even though I have the DatasetID column in the Dataset table?
Thank you,
Teja.

A: Found a solution.
This seems to be an issue with how Mysql 8.x versions refer to column names in the foreign key declaration - Mysql 8.x versions always use lowercase when a column is referenced in Foreign Key statements, which cause an incompatibility with sqlalchemy. This issue is discussed here
https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/issues/4344
Solution is to just upgrade the sqlalchemy to the latest version (>=1.2.x)
Teja.

so we went to the reunion
By gzt (Mon Aug 06, 2012 at 01:27:04 PM EST) gzt, often, stuff, things, svm, machine learning, moving, knots, reunion, friend opportunity (all tags)
it was good, wife made a couple friends it seems, inadvertantly got job leads for child care (which she wants to get out of and we both agree on that, so I was sort of perplexed at how she was discussing what she did for a living with people, but we got that sorted out later.
QUESTION: is "often" pronounced "offen" or "of-ten"?
So we stayed at our new place. It was not vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned before we got there and we neglected to bring a vacuum. The cat hair got to me. It was terrible.
The place is nice, though.
I'm still a little sniffly.
I am so ready to be done here at work. This one project is not set up for success because of staffing problems and poor delineation of responsibilities.

I find Facebook's recent plummet to be unfortunate, as they apparently claim to get 23% of their data center energy from "green" sources and 13% from nuclear. http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-01/facebook-says-23-percent-of-data-center-power-is-green It's not perfect, but it's great progress and I appreciate the openness. Well, c'est la vie.

The wifing unit wasn't a big fan of the new church - it had a lot of Greek and it was all Greek to her. It's an odd thing - one of the chanters was quite obviously not a native speaker, there were some Ethiopians, the person in front of me was obviously Romanian, there are probably some Russians, there were a lot of kids and you know none of them speak Greek terribly well if at all, so why all the Greek in the service? The music was different (ie, Greek style rather than Russian style), so even that could not be used as a cue. I've hung out with the Greeks enough and remember enough random words from Attic to be totally fine with that sort of thing, but the wifing unit has pretty much only been in Russian-style churches and is quite monolingual. Anyway, I think it will grow on her as she becomes more acclimated.
I hope vacuuming is sufficient to cure the house of cat hair. It would be inconvenient to move in and then discover we need some kind of deeper cleaning.
Whenever I mention that my boss is still uncertain about whether she is going to be able to fill my position, other people in the department are horrified. It's great. I wonder how my boss's interview today is going. I hope she gets it. The organization will do just fine without us. It will do just fine without me, but it will be somewhat inconvenient for the short time it takes my boss to find a new job if they don't replace me.
I think this is a fantastic photo, but I disagree with the last part of this sentence: "Science makes the world a better place, and it makes us better people." Science has done little for moral development. It's nice that we can all feel good for a moment about the Mars landing, but it's a fleeting moment. A lot of what drives technology is the desire to have more effective ways of killing other people. This is the way it has always been and always will be. I do believe that science has made the world a better place in many ways - no more smallpox, no more Third Reich - but it in no way helps us solve fundamental moral problems. The hubris!
the machine learning final was a little tough - I had to cope with a slight problem in that I had to be done by 9am Friday instead of midnight Friday. Also, some stuff was extremely slow in running - too slow. Well, things worked for the most part, he said I should've used a linear classifier because the non-linear would be too slow (it was). Anyway, that was a fun class, hard work, etc etc.

gotta disagree about science and moral problems. increases in wealth, technology, and human knowledge driven by scientific inquiry both erode traditional evils and alleviate the conditions of poverty that lead to immorality. not only that, they lead to changes in mores that define away much of what had traditionally been called immorality.

who grew up in Arkansas, pronounced the T in often. I wonder if there's a pocket in middle America where that's the standard, on-the-ground dialect.
And I wonder how or if it overlaps the voiceless liquid /wh/ (so that 'which witch' are two differently-pronounced words due to the first consonant). That one is in my idiolect, so I suspect it's more widespread. But toxicfur assures me it's another flyover zone feature of English.

it originated as an example of "hypercorrection", so the poor, less literate and the upper class, wholly literate would say "offen" while the newly-literate and hypercorrecting would say "of-ten". but that's 19th century and in England. I read that of-ten has been rising in usage in the past few decades. in my brand of Iowa flyover English, it was always "offen", but perhaps they're learning to read.

When she was good,
she was very very good,

she was horrid.
Which suggests that in some dialect at least, "forehead" should rhyme with "horrid".

If I'm remembering my history of the English language (and later sociolinguistics classes) correctly, off-ten is a hypercorrection in current American English, and the rise of it has to do with literacy. Similarly, as Herring pointed out, 'forehead' is a literacy-based hypercorrection. I grew up saying 'far-id', but when I was working on getting rid of the Southern accent in college, I realized that nobody said it that way. I've said 'four-head' for half my life now, and it's unlikely that I'll return to saying it the way I learned it.

The aim of these studies was to utilise the thy-1-YFP-H transgenic mouse strain to investigate the effects of exogenous agents and the use of nerve conduits on peripheral nerve repair, while developing analysis methods to quantify nerve regeneration in this strain. Using a thy-1-YFP-H mouse common fibular nerve repair model, two potential nerve regeneration enhancing agents [mannose-6-phosphate and EC23] and four conduit designs were assessed. The outcomes of the experiments were measured by analysing whole mount images of the repaired nerves and comparing: axon numbers across the repairs, the proportion of unique axons reaching set distances within the repairs, and the disruption of axons as they entered the repairs. Of the two potential nerve regeneration enhancing agents [administered by pre-soaking the graft tissue and injections into the surrounding tissue] mannose-6-phosphate was shown to significantly reduce the disruption of axons entering the graft, which tied in with results of previous studies on mannose-6-phosphate. EC23 did not appear to have any significant effect upon nerve regeneration, displaying similar results to vehicle treated grafts. Within the conduit studies, both micro-stereolithography produced hollow conduit designs proved successful at enabling regeneration across a short nerve defect - with quantitative results similar to graft repairs - however, axon organisation within those repairs was greatly reduced. The other two conduit designs [aligned fibre filled and hollow nylon-12] were less successful, with limited regeneration occurring across the nerve defect. Through the results of these studies the usefulness of the thy-1-YFP-H transgenic mouse strain in assessing nerve regeneration has been further established. The ability to trace the fate of individual axons through repairs reveals much information that was previously not possible or very difficult to obtain. In addition, the ability to obtain results in only 2-3 weeks makes this model ideal for obtaining useful data quickly for pilot studies.

Love it and lampoon it: Daniel Handler skewers…
Love it and lampoon it: Daniel Handler skewers San Francisco
Hipsters, tech bros target of author's humor in 'Bottle Grove'
By Angela Hill |
PUBLISHED: August 29, 2019 at 8:10 a.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2019 at 4:26 p.m.
Mixing a clever cocktail of people, places and plotlines that swill around in your soul, "Bottle Grove" (Bloomsbury Publishing, $26, 227 pages) is author Daniel Handler's latest novel for adults.
It blends tales of unlikely couples – even starting off with one wedding and the makings of another, but who ends up with whom is anyone's guess. What follows is a reception in a bar, forest creatures lurking in a nearby park, some hookups, a fight, a voracious and fallacious vicar — all leaning on the backdrop of a changing San Francisco, Handler's hometown, as the fledgling tech industry is about to go boom and the heyday of heritage San Francisco families fades into a Monday morning hangover.
Though you might know him best as Lemony Snicket, creator of the 13-volume children's book collection "A Series of Unfortunate Events," Handler handles his latest adult work with all the trademark wit and humor seen in his previous adult novels, "All the Dirty Pants," "We Are Pirates" and "Watch Your Mouth."
Q. Do people have a hard time calling you Daniel, or do they slip into Lemony on occasion?
A. By now, I think people have figured it out. My first book — before "Unfortunate Events" — came out under my actual name, so I've always kind had one foot in each territory. But it can be discombobulating, occasionally.
Q. I understand you like to take credit for killing Edward Gorey?
A. Yes, I like to think that I did. I don't have any proof. I love Edward Gorey, and I sent him the first two volumes of "Unfortunate Events" when they were about to be published, along with a note that said I hope you can forgive me for what I've stolen from you. He died, like, two weeks later, so … I'm thinking I have his death on my hands.
Q. On to "Bottle Grove." It's been called a dark comedy. What would you call it?
A. I dunno. A book?
Q. No, really.
A. Nothing makes something less funny than announcing that it's funny. Every time I see something announced as a comic romp, my teeth are already set on edge. Let's just say, it's not a comedy where you think of a typical comedy where it comes out that everyone is happy.
Q. I'd say from this book, sounds like you've spent a fair amount of time in a bar … for research, of course. You've even come up with some interesting cocktails, like the Happy Couple.
A. I do like the occasional bar. The book is dedicated to a bartender ("In Memory of Daniel Hyatt, Barman Extraordinaire") who had kind of a rough and ragged life. He was the proprietor of a bar on Haight Street that was kind of the model for Bottle Grove, kind of in the same situation, where it was courting moneyed hipsters and trying to maintain authenticity at the same time. I do like sitting in a bar and talking to people. It's a great place for a novelist to eavesdrop. I eavesdrop on public transportation, too, but am not sure I could make a novel out of that stuff.
Q. A lot of animals come to play in the book, a couple of them sort of human, like the ubiquitous fox-slash-Reynard lurking throughout.
A. San Francisco has so many wild patches. It's one of the things people love about the Bay Area; there are so many little parks, and you get there, and it's a miracle this isn't condos.
Q. You really capture the changing city, the old wealthy families fading away, the rise of the tech bros. You'd think you lived here or something.
A. Yup. I grew up here, and I love it. I went to school back East and lived in New York for a while, but I've been back almost 20 years with no plans to leave. One of the things about San Francisco, it welcomes so many people, people come for sanctuary, for refuge, for community of some kind. So a lot of people come here, and you tend to be most nostalgic about things the way they were when you arrived. But I kind of like exploring the idea of a city where things are really changing, and you're trying to figure out what stability is, what I can rely on here. Kind of like you do in a marriage.
I feel married to San Francisco, and I'm not going anywhere.
Q. Speaking of marriage … you contrast those "wild patches" and animal instincts with the institution of marriage as a civilizing influence. You're married, so … are you civilized?
A. Maybe you should ask my spouse.
Q. You skewer the tech scene and its money-making schemes. Are you getting any flak from techies?
A. I don't know if the people who would be most wounded are people who keep up with what's happening in literary fiction. And really, terms get thrown around like hipster, yuppie and whatnot, and people always think it's about somebody else. So you'll have these young guys in tech sitting at a coffee house probably thinking, "Yeah, those guys over there are total jerks."

Q. Seems your books are usually based in bewilderment with the world. Have you figured anything out yet?
A. Hah. If anything, I think I know less and less as I get older. Which I think is good for any artist. If you're positive about a lot of things, you can be very didactic and tiresome. I've come around to the idea that being confused by the world is the most natural and best state to be in, a very proper response.

HANDLER: 5 FUNNIEST BOOKS EVER
The author selects the books that tickle his funnybone (commentary is his)
"The Emily Dickinson Reader: An English-to-English Translation of Emily Dickinson's Complete Poems," by Paul Legault. A poet translates, poem by poem, an American icon into the bonkersweirdo she always was. If you know anything about poetry, you will know this is a major achievement. If you don't, you will hold your sides with laughter.
"Fish Preferred," by P.G. Wodehouse. It's hard to pick just one Wodehouse novel, the way it's hard to choose just one bubble from a gin and tonic, but I so often return to this Blandings book, which I picked up in middle school at the West Portal branch of the San Francisco Public Library, and (it) sent me howling into a new life.
"Why Did I Ever," by Mary Robison. A novel, furious and funny both, that runs like the jokey, bitter opening monologue of the television show that all of us — right? — have in our heads.
"Serious Farm," by Tim Egan. A deadpan picture book that makes a funny joke out of explaining why explaining a joke isn't funny.
"Hark a Vagrant," by Kate Beaton. Don't even ask.

If you want to see everything Beaumont has to offer, there is no better way to do so from behind the wheel of a rental car from Budget. Stop wasting your vacation waiting on the bus, or being nickel and dimed with ride-shares or taxis. When you have access to your own car, you can drive wherever you want to go, whenever you want. Make your upcoming getaway to Texas more enjoyable with a Budget rental car.
With over one-hundred thousand people, Beaumont is a city that has plenty going on. Many guests come to take in Beaumont's diverse population. Of course, this city has more going on like a growing art community and plenty of interest for history buffs. Whatever you pick to do first, you'll want to see as much of Beaumont as you can during your vacation. And with your Budget rental car, you'll be able to see and do more of what this city offers.
We work with several of the most dependable companies. With a name like Budget, you know they will try to get you the lowest price. Founded in Los Angeles in 1959, Budget always strives to provide the best prices for their customers.
How do I find the best deals on a Beaumont Budget rental car?
CarRentals.com always tries to get you the lowest price, no matter when you reserve your car. However, booking ahead of your visit can help you save even more. Make sure to keep the car under one driver's name and read the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.
Do I need to bring anything special when I pick up my car rental in Beaumont?
What's Beaumont's minimum age to rent a car?
Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Beaumont is 21. Make sure to check Budget's policy, as there may be limitations if you are under 25 or for higher category cars in particular.
What kind of Budget rental car should I get for my trip to Beaumont?
That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Beaumont. Economy or compact cars are ideal for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with colleagues or family, then a sedan or SUV will have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a little extravagance on their Beaumont getaway can choose the premium category to get a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.
In the United States you do need to have insurance before you rent a car from Budget. Many major credit cards (Discover, American Express, Visa and MasterCard) generally cover your car rental. However, many of them have prohibitions, such as not covering large vehicles, like premium models or some SUVs. Be sure to find out by calling your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Beaumont. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.
At CarRentals.com, we suggest a full to full policy. You should receive your car with the needle at "F". If you return the rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current gas prices to refill it. For a cheaper rate, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring your car back to Budget. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Should I get unlimited miles when I drive in Beaumont?
Beaumont has enough to keep you entertained, but you may want to head to nearby cities to see what else Texas has to offer. You can explore the rest of the region free of mileage limits once you've checked off all the activities in Beaumont.
Does Budget offer one-way rentals in Beaumont?
Budget typically offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to return your rental at another location. However, there is typically an additional charge when you choose one-way.
With so much to do and see in Beaumont, having the keys to your own automobile lets you explore at your own pace. When you're ready to explore more of Texas, you can go when you want to, without trying to hail a taxicab or sign up for a ride-share.
Before you head out of town, book your Budget Beaumont rent-a-car and zip off to take in all the items on your itinerary at your own pace. Reserve with CarRentals.com and hit the open road in Beaumont, Texas.

Dad, NYC, 1970 (Guest Post by Christine Lee Zilka)
By Lena Sze
This guest post is brought to you by Christine Lee Zilka. Christine is a writer spending a year in New York City with her husband and her two geriatric wiener dogs. She earned her undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley and her MFA in Creative Writing from Mills College. She is currently an Editor-at-Large at Kartika Review and, in addition to writing short stories, she has a novel in progress. She writes at The Writers Room in Manhattan and can be found online at http://czilka.wordpress.com/ or as @czilka on twitter.
The stoic taxi driver asked us our destination.
As we wound our way downtown in the year 2011, my father started talking to the taxi driver, who maintained his stoicism, until my father waved at him and said, "I used to be a taxi driver too, in 1970."
Dad took his question as permission to continue. "When I was driving, was twenty dollars from JFK to Manhattan, metered."
My mom and dad were buzzing electric from witnessing an African American saxophone busker playing "Arirang" and then "Sahn Tokee," two Korean songs they'd never expected to hear on the street in 2011, let alone in 1970 when they'd first arrived in the U.S., and lived in New York City. Back then, there were too few Koreans (fewer than 70,000 in the entire country to the 1.4 million counted in the 2000 census) to make a dent in mainstream America. There were no Korean grocery stores. My parents bought their groceries in Chinatown, and incorporated what they could into Korean homecooked cuisine (there were no Korean restaurants): kimchi made with western cabbage, lacking secret ingredients like salted shrimp, or rice made with unfamiliar brands, or soup flavored with delicate Japanese miso and not the more robust Korean miso paste.
My dad has been making friends all around town. His goal is to get to know some "oldies" in New York, even though I keep telling him he probably won't run into any; he is 78, and his era is dying off, literally. And most 78 year olds won't be found running the cash register at their old grocery stores, or dry cleaning shops. However, my dad is the kind of person who, if he ever meets the age of 110, will still think he'll run into people his own age.
My dad was one of the first Koreans who immigrated to America after the 1965 Immigration Act, which allowed immigration into the U.S. from Asia to resume after a ban of over forty years. He landed in Queens with his wife, my mother, 2 pieces of luggage and $200 in his wallet, which he promptly spent on a hotel room in midtown, so cowed was he by this huge bustling city called New York City.
His money dwindling, the legend goes that a friend pointed him to much cheaper accommodations, a rent-by-the-week "hotel" in Harlem, where my mom and dad said they spent a week of sleepless nights cowering behind a door blockaded with the room's dresser cabinet that blocked out the warring tenants but not the sound of screaming and physical altercations.
He and my mother made their way to Jackson Heights in Queens, where they leapt at renting an apartment close to a subway stop so that my mother could commute easily to work at the hospital. They were so grateful to be out of their previous living situation that they didn't even notice that the apartment was indeed very close to the subway; the elevated tracks ran several feet outside their window.
Eventually, he and my mother made their way to Woodside, where after a short stint as an engineer at a large corporation and a longer stint as a cab driver, my dad opened up his own gas station, an Amoco, on the corner of Queens Boulevard and 65th Place, which still stands today, only as a BP station.
My father's life, like many New Yorkers, revolved within less than a square mile; he would get up, walk down to the gas station for work, occasionally running back home for lunch but more often than not, eat a boxed lunch of leftovers at the station. He walked home in the nighttime and switched places with my mother, who by then was heading off to work on the night shift as a nurse at Elmhurst, two subway stops away.
There weren't Korean community centers back then, in the early 1970s. There was only one Korean church, my parents told me, in Manhattan. So in many ways, his gas station became a hub of communication for Koreans. They'd drive in, my dad told me, and between driving up to the pump and paying the bill, they would ask for advice on life in this country, and my dad, an ex-professor bored out of his mind and one who lavished the act of mentoring, would proffer oodles of advice, while pumping their gas. Call ConEd for electricity, he'd say, and recite the 800 number by heart. My mom once told me that my father was so bored at his job he'd spend the lulls memorizing phone numbers and car license plates.
Now my father has come to visit NYC, our old home, and my current home for the year. He came with two objectives: to visit the Met, to which he has never been, and to tour his old haunts in Queens–in particular, Woodside and Jackson Heights.
My father, per the usual, called me several weeks in advance of his visit to announce his agenda to me: "I have two requirements! I see Metropolitan Museum of Art! Which I have never been to! And! We go to all places I used to live!" My dad, by the way, is deaf in one ear, and hollers more than speaks, his words.
"Okay!" I yelled back over the phone.
Over the weeks, his announcements revealed more granularity: "I have two requirements! I see Metropolitan Museum of Art! Which I have never been to! Mommy has seen it! But I have not! And! We go to all places I used to live! Jackson Heights! Woodside! Also! We go see grocery store, which I used to own! In Upper East Side!"
"Okay!" I yelled back over the phone. "See! You! Soon!"
"Why are you yelling?" my dad responded, "I can hear you! Don't! Have! To! Yell! Also, I want to see old timers! Maybe they are still there?"
Right. He was holding the phone up to his good ear. "Dad, I think all the old timers are gone. New York has changed a lot."
My dad spent the entire week remarking how much New York City had changed. We took the subway uptown to 89th and 1st Ave, where my parents' grocery store used to stand. At 2nd avenue, my dad gestured towards a grocery store. "If that's there, probably our store is no longer existing."
"Maybe it's still there."
But it wasn't. Where my parents' grocery store used to be is now a laundromat. My parents stood stunned. I took photographs, wanting to capture the look on their faces–the look of people who hadn't been back to the same place in 40 years, who thought that New York City and 1970, were just yesterday.
We moved on. "Maybe I see some old timers in Queens!" my dad announced on the 7. They both insisted on standing on the 7. Several people offered up their seats, but my parents refused. I explained, "My parents haven't been back to New York City in 40 years, they want a good look." People were amazed, interested.
"Has it changed?"
"Oh yeah!" said my dad, flabbergasted.
My mom whispered, "In 1970, used to be everyone on 7 line was white people."
There wasn't a single white person in the subway car on this particular Friday in late April, forty-one years later.
My parents were looking a bit forlorn, despite their fascination. Imagine going back to a place and finding everything different–the place you know, is no longer the same place. The place you know, no longer exists. You are lost in time. You feel—lost.
And then Peppino's Pizza in Woodside adjacent to the Woodside 61 Street stop came to the rescue. My parents' heads darted back and forth, at the foot of the subway stairs, looking for familiar landmarks by which to navigate Woodside. And then, a split second later, a yelp of recognition, and lots of finger pointing.
"Oh yah!"
"It's still here!"
"You know, this is the place where I had my first pizza!"
"Let's see if the owner is still here!" My dad, ever hopeful, strode toward the storefront.
My mom, summoning her polite voice, asked an improbable question, "Are you the same owner from 1970?"
The man standing in front of the pizzeria, clad in a tomato sauced stained t-shirt and white apron, his face grizzled with a burgeoning beard, nodded.
The same proprietor from 1970 was standing in front of the store, the same man who'd handed my father his first pizza slice. The same man who handed me my pizza slices as a small child. His son was inside, working the ovens now. Walking into the store, I learned the son was almost exactly our age–our lives were in parallel at this very moment.
My mom and dad took a picture with the pizza proprietor. Imagine them 40 years younger.
We promised we'd be back for pizza later that day.
Across the street was a shuttered florist, long gone out of business. My dad pointed, "That used to be a fruit store. The owner was Korean, and on hot days, we would take you there and they would put you in their freezer so you could cool down." They recognized nothing else.
We walked towards the apartment where I spent my early childhood years where the brick building stands on a hill overlooking the LIRR. Down the hill was my father's gas station, now a BP on the corner of 65th Place and Queens Boulevard.
We took a picture there, too, the same picture you see at the top of this post. My dad likes to point to the picture taken in 1970 and say, "I had a hard life back then, you can see it on my face." But I see his life carved into his face in the 2011 shot.
"I'll show you a park." There was a park? And yes, there was a park around the corner. All gated up adjacent to a freeway off-ramp. "This one gone, too?!" It was under remodeling, thank goodness. I looked it up later–it's called Sherry Park. It's where I played as a toddler, where, my dad told me, he and my grandmother had to pick up all the broken glass before releasing me into the playground. Because I'd put glass in my mouth.
There are no stories of my mom taking me to the playground, because my mom worked nights and had to sleep all day.
My parents were nostalgic, and their pace quickened as they decided the next steps on our route–go back to the pizza place, pick up a slice, and then walk to the "Big Park."
On the way, we passed a laundromat, and two Korean ajummas hollered out in Korean, "Hangook sahramee sae yo? Hangook sahramee sae yo? Aigo, angawoyo! Are you Korean? Are you Korean? Oh we are so pleased to meet you!"
My parents' heads snapped. They were two old Korean ajummas, sitting on chairs outside the laundromat, their hands folded over their bellies, sporting short, permed hair.
My dad immediately befriended them. "Where are all the Korean people?"
"They moved to Long Island!"
"There aren't many Korean people here."
"I am old timer! I was here in 1970! When were you here? 1985? That's nothing."
The ladies gave us directions to "The Big Park," and we started walking west on Roosevelt Avenue, back towards Peppino's Pizza onto Woodside Avenue and towards the park.
We walked. And walked. I saw something that looked like a park, but with a school on most of its grounds. "Is that the park?" I asked. Something about the place looked dimly familiar, resonated with me on an intuitive level. Like I'd seen it before. Or heard the exact sounds. Or smelled the same smells. Familiar.
"No, it was a BIG PARK."
We trudged past, and then my father stopped. "I think that's the park."
My mom and dad stared.
"That's the park."
"You used to swim here."
We took our slices and sat on a bench in Doughboy Park. I used to swim, my parents said, in Lawrence Virgilio park, adjacent to Doughboy. My parents sat silent on the bench, eating their pizza with the steady bites of the hungry, but with their eyes focused at infinity.
"There's a school that wasn't here. That's why we didn't recognize the park."
"Everything's too different."
"It doesn't look the same."
"What's the same and what's different since 1970, Dad?"
"I cannot even say," said my dad, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "Everything is too different. Like a different world."

Open City: Blogging Urban Change is an interdisciplinary neighborhood blog and community project coordinated by the Asian American Writers' Workshop. Five commissioned writers, called Organizing Fellows, are working with community organizations and neighborhood folks in Manhattan's Chinatown/Lower East Side (LES), Flushing, Queens, and Sunset Park, Brooklyn to collect oral histories and interviews, offer commentary about gentrification, neighborhood change, and produce new creative work around these themes.

New Chinatown Biking Coalition: Local Spokes
CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities was formed in 1986 (formerly known as the Committee Against Anti-Asian Violence) as a response to an increase in anti-Asian hate crimes both in New York City and around the country (which included violence by police officers against Asians).
They have two offices – one in Manhattan's Chinatown (which houses the Chinatown Tenants Union, and the new Asian Youth in Action organizing project) and the Youth Leadership Project office in the Bronx – and have members from all over the city. Over the years, CAAAV's main campaigns have focused on community-based organizing work rooted in Asian immigrant and refugee communities. Although their advocacy and organizing work is focused mainly in Manhattan's Chinatown and the northwest Bronx, CAAAV's work also touches upon larger issues (such as affordable housing, war, and immigration) shaping communities all over the world: "Our work is primarily centered around issues facing New Yorkers, but always with a global analysis."
CAAAV's mission is to organize and build the power of working-class Asian immigrants, refugees, and youth to change concrete conditions and participate in a broader social justice movement. In the past, CAAAV's work included organizing South Asian taxi drivers, Korean women workers, and Filipina domestic workers. Several of these organizing projects have gone on to become their own organizations, such as the New York Taxi Workers Alliance and Domestic Workers United. CAAAV's current work focus on three different program areas: Read more.
