Rob Roy is out on Blu-ray
Rob Roy was released on Blu-ray earlier this month (Jan. 11). There is a review at AVForums.com. Here is their verdict:
"A tale of men in skirts fighting men in wigs, Rob Roy arrives on Blu-ray with a bare-bones US release that offers fans a considerable upgrade over the lousy image that the DVD sported. It is also a great film that has been unfairly judged over the years, and fallen somewhat unfortunately into the shadow of the illustrious Braveheart that swamped it at the box office that same year.
In truth, however, the films are totally different and strike out down paths that attack their subjects with far more diverse attitudes and methods of execution. Rob Roy is a traditional tale that Michael Caton-Jones tells in an Old School fashion, which completely supports the blending of intricate period detail and atmospheric evocation with the rascally nature of the characters flung together in conflict.
The cast are all excellent, but special mention must go to both Tim Roth and Jessica Lange, who find fantastic new depths and traits with which to imbue their, otherwise, stock characters. Neeson is a lumbering giant of battered heroism, yet he is perfectly at home as the principled renegade and you can't help but be moved by his indomitable will to put right some terrible wrongs.
The lack of extras is unforgivable, mind. MGM have just slipped the release out with nothing … not even a trailer. For a rich and lavish production such as Rob Roy, they have well and truly dropped a great big tartan ball. But it is the film that counts, and this is a beautifully constructed, authentic-looking saga that drips class and character with style to burn. We have a terrific, if unusual villain in Roth's poncified Archibald Cunningham, and there is a brutality in some respects that well and truly pushes the film out of that picturesque Sunday afternoon costume drama niche. The fighting is wonderfully done too, and, best of all, you really get the sense that you are actually there with that awesome cinematography."
The Blu-ray is available on Amazon.

I'm really excited about this event, but I know there are those who fear major parking and traffic issues. The event is only for 2 weeks. You can deal with it. Well, I scanned the postcard for our viewing (and archiving) pleasure….

The South from your Sofa : Our Top 10 Reads
Being at home doesn't stop you travelling. Many great authors were born here or simply fell in love with Provence, the Southern Alps or Côte d'Azur, and we invite you on a journey to explore the beautiful Région Sud in their company, comfortably seated with a cup of tea. Marcel Pagnol, Jean-Claude Izzo, Albert Camus, Alexandra David Néel… Welcome to a virtual tour of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur – as if you were here!
"Marius", "Fanny" and "César"
The Old Port of Marseille, César's Bar de la Marine, sunshine and card games… Plunge into Marcel Pagnol's famous trilogy "Marius", "Fanny" and "César", and embark on a voyage to Marseille in the 1920s. The prodigal son of Aubagne, Pagnol's storytelling skills have no match. Welcome to a world of Made in Marseille verbal jousting and such classic scenes as the picon-lemon-curaçao cocktail mixing lesson:
Marius:
"-And now you have four thirds.
César:
-Exactly. I hope you got it this time. (He drinks a gulp of the mixture).
-There are only three thirds in a glass.
-But it depends on the size of the third, you idiot!"

"My Journey to Lhasa"
An intrepid adventurer, Alexandra David Néel sought refuge in Digne-les-Bains between two trips to the ends of the earth. In 1928, she purchased a small house (a must-see after the lockdown!), which she decorated with Buddhist and oriental objects brought back from her incredible expeditions. In "My Journey to Lhasa", she tells the story of how she became the first European woman to enter the forbidden Tibetan City. A fascinating book and wonderful way to climb the Himalayas without getting out of puff…
The American author F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda set up home in a luxury villa on the Côte d'Azur, between Cap d'Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, in 1925. High society gathered there to party night after night and alcohol flowed like water… Still standing witness to the couple's excesses, Villa Saint-Louis was a powerful source of inspiration for Fitzgerald, who wrote "The Great Gatsby" – one of America's greatest ever novels – there. Can't be bothered reading? Simply tune in to Baz Luhrmann's excellent film starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the role of Gatsby, a young millionaire enamoured with luxury and debauchery. To be consumed without moderation.

Oran, Algeria in the 1940s. The daily life of the town's inhabitants is suddenly overturned by an epidemic. Placed under quarantine, they are cut off from the rest of the world. "Hostile to the past, impatient of the present, and cheated of the future, we were much like those whom men's justice, or hatred, forces to live behind prison bars. In the last resort, the only way to escape this unbearable holiday was to make the trains run again in our imagination and to fill the hours with the repeated ringing of the doorbell, however silent it obstinately remained." Sound familiar? Sales of "The Plague" have rocketed in recent weeks. Published in 1947, this novel is the key work of Albert Camus, a fervent lover of Provence who made Lourmarin, in the Luberon, his spiritual home.
Fabio Montale Trilogy
How about exploring Marseille with a good thriller? Or rather three good thrillers: "Total Chaos", "Chourmo" and "Solea". Jean-Claude Izzo was born in Marseille, just like the hero of his trilogy, the disenchanted, oddball cop Fabio Montale. The northern quarters, snaking lanes of the Panier quarter and untamed Calanques fjords… Montale knows Marseille like the back of his hand. When lockdown is over, let's venture back into the city together to explore the mythical locations of his investigations.

The unrivalled crime novel queen, Agatha Christie was a great lover of France and the Côte d'Azur, where she holidayed several times. She wrote "The Mystery of the Blue Train" in 1928, inspired by the coast's pretty resorts. The intrigue takes place on the train linking Calais to Nice, where a rich heiress has just been murdered… Detective Hercule Poirot, who was hoping to enjoy a quiet few days' holiday by the sea, hunts down the perpetrator…
"Letters from My Windmill"
And we're off for a literary voyage through Provence! A collection of 24 short stories, "Letters from My Windmill" leads the reader into rural Provence, to the villages of Beaucaire, Cucugnan and Fontvieille – where Daudet's famous windmill still stands -, in the second half of the 19th century. Village gossip, fake flour trafficking, tales told by lighthouse keepers and customs officers and, of course, the unforgettable "Mr. Seguin's Goat"… This book is the ultimate escape.

"The Horseman on the Roof"
Ready for some adventure? Delve into "The Horseman on the Roof" and the feats of Angelo Pardi. A colonel in the Piedmont Hussars, Angelo flees his Italian homeland and arrives in Manosque at the peak of the cholera outbreak. Accused by locals of poisoning their fountains, Angelo seeks shelter on the town's rooftops. One of Provence's literary giants, Giono never left Manosque, where he wrote this monumental work inspired by the sunny pathways and beautiful natural scenery of Haute-Provence. Here's to exploring them for real in a few short weeks.
"The Man Inside Out"
It's time to head to the Mercantour. In these wild and mysterious landscapes where nature reigns, wolves are little by little reclaiming their rights. They attack a sheep, then a woman is found with her throat cut… Rumours are rife in the Alpine valleys: what if the wolf is actually a werewolf? Chief Inspector Adamsberg is in charge of the investigation. This unlikely yet irresistible cop might seem to be missing the point, but at the end of the day, the truth always emerges from the deep mists of his disjointed mind.

"Green Wheat"
One of the 20th century's finest authors, Colette fell under the spell of Saint-Tropez in 1925, when it was still a little fishing village. She bought a house there and named it "La Treille Muscate" – inspired by the Muscat grapes that flourished around it -, where she lived until 1939. "Green Wheat" plunges the reader into Colette's world and her transition from childhood to adolescence. A story of jealousy and carefree spirits. Just the ticket right now.

Journalist Ouleye Mané was detained, along with three others, after sharing a photoshopped image that showed a naked body resting on Senegalese President Macky Sall's chest.
Of particular concern to the media community is article 192 of Senegal's new press code, which states that a district chief executive and other authorities can suspend a media house if a publication is deemed to be a "threat to the national security."
"The government's move to limit freedom of assembly is a worrisome development in one of Africa's most democratic countries," said Vukasin Petrovic, director of Africa Programs.
A publisher and a reporter were summoned to the gendarmerie in Dakar on 15 July and questioned for several hours about a report that Senegalese troops were being sent to participate in the Saudi-led military operations in Yemen.

The Issues and Research section has an interactive database of state standards for each state and the District of Columbia, which complements its recently updated project, A Report on the State of History Education.
Teachinghistory.org is a project of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University and is funded through the U.S. Department of Education's Teaching American History (TAH) program. It is a leader in providing K-12 history teachers with free access to resources and materials to improve their lessons.
The annual wars, aka school budget deliberations, are about to begin. Across the nation, states and local districts will once more struggle to maintain educational integrity in the face of annual budget shortfalls, "race to the top" to grab federal dollars, and, hopefully, improve overall student achievement.
Last fall, a report from the Thomas B. Fordham Institute brought into sharp focus the decline in achievement among the top students in our nation, those with the potential and demonstrated capacity to excel in school and assume leadership roles in the United States and the global community. Quite simply, the report, titled "Do High Flyers Maintain Their Performance: Performance Trends of Top Students," <http://www.edexcellence.net/publications/high-flyers.html> suggested that this nation's brightest students are the unintended victims of the lofty goals of the No Child Left Behind Act. Rather than making the much-heralded "adequate yearly progress" that is supposed to characterize school success, they are losing ground when their performance is tracked over time.
The Fordham report followed a Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA, report <http://www.pisa.oecd.org/dataoecd/32/50/46623978.pdf> in December 2010. Not only had a majority of 15-year-old students in the United States lagged in mathematics and science performance, but America's top students compared dismally with their peers across the globe. In math, only 1.9 percent of U.S. students scored in the 95th percentile on the assessment's highest proficiency level, below the average of 3 percent of the total sample of students from other Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development-member nations, and well below the top students in South Korea (7.8 percent), Switzerland (7.8 percent), Singapore (15.6 percent), and Shanghai (26.6 percent).
"In a nation devoted to the underdog, we seem to have forgotten that gifted students need to grow, too."
Why can't more of our brightest students attain this high level of proficiency? And, why should we care? Here's why: Providing for the continued growth, development, and achievement of our most capable students is akin to betting on the favorite. The most-talented students are most likely to bring this nation out of the economic basement, create new inventions, cure deadly diseases, and, yes, restore the United States to its former place as the international leader in innovation and scholarship. In a nation devoted to the underdog, we seem to have forgotten that gifted students need to grow, too. In fact, in many ways, gifted students are the new underdogs in American education.
No one wants to see any student condemned to substandard education, a result of some tracking systems. However, the brightest students are condemned to working at levels below their potential. At the same time, acceleration to the next grade is often not considered or even allowed, despite research-based evidence, such as the 2004 report "A Nation Deceived: How Schools Hold Back America's Brightest Students," that documents the benefits of acceleration for our top students. Finally, most teachers have not been trained to work with highly able students in the regular classroom, and that's where most of the high-flying students can be found.
Last year, U.S. Reps. Elton Gallegly, R-Calif., and Donald M. Payne, D-N.J., along with U.S. Sens. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Robert P. Casey Jr., D-Pa., introduced a bipartisan bill as part of the reauthorization process for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, currently known as No Child Left Behind. The TALENT (To Aid Gifted and High-Ability Learners by Empowering the Nation's Teachers) Act would require that state assessments capture when students perform above grade level and report the educational growth of the most-advanced students on state report cards required under NCLB. This would represent a critical improvement in the current reporting system and drive schools to consider the educational development of the highest-achieving students. It would also spur policymakers and curriculum developers to provide more-advanced curriculum for high-achieving students. It would expand professional-development opportunities for teachers and establish research initiatives to explore ways that teachers can support and serve high-ability students. The bill is still awaiting action in Congress.
As a former high school teacher and coordinator of programs for gifted students, I know firsthand the frustrations of the very capable student who must slog through drill-and-kill reviews every fall while teachers ensure that everyone is up to speed and ready to move forward. The situation repeats itself throughout the school year, as teachers and students progress toward the annual standardized tests that will be used to determine individual teachers' effectiveness.
The focus on teacher accountability has accentuated the very real pressures on teachers to make sure that all students perform at an accepted level of proficiency, and I am in no way suggesting that teachers are maliciously neglecting the brightest students in their classes. However, when one's job security is on the line, good will and the intention to differentiate instruction for highly able students easily fall prey to meeting the needs of the majority. If gifted youngsters already meet the minimum-proficiency standards, there is no need to move them forward. For now, there is no federal mandate to meet their academic needs.
What Should History Degree-Holders Know and Be Able to Do?
Washington, D.C.—The American Historical Association (AHA) is initiating a nationwide, faculty-led project to articulate the core of historical study and to identify what a student should know and be able to do at the completion of a history degree program. Professors Anne Hyde (Colorado College) and Patricia Limerick (University of Colorado Boulder) will lead accomplished faculty from more than sixty colleges and universities across the country to frame common goals and reference points for post-secondary history education. The project will engage employers, alumni, students, and others in exploring and enhancing how the study of history provides the foundation for a life of active citizenship, continued learning, and successful employment.

The Polynesian. Honolulu: October 11, 1845.
The following letter has recently been brought to light by Mr. Sparks. It was written in a reply to a proposition made to Washington at the conclusion of the war, by certain officers of his army, to accept a crown. The following sentiments show the republican spirit than animated the man.
"Sir-With a mixture of great surprise and astonishment, I have read with attention the sentiments you have submitted to my perusal. Be assured, sir, no occurrence in the course of the war has given me more painful sensations than your information of there being such ideas existing in the army as you have expressed, and which I must view with abhorrence, and reprehend with severity. For the present, the communication of them will rest in my own bosom, unless some further agitation of the matter shall made a disclosure necessary.
Let me conjure you, then, if you have any regard for your country, concern for yourself or posterity or respect for me, to banish these thoughts from your mind, and never communicate as from yourself or any one else, a sentiment of the like nature.
We wanted to remind our history teachers, students, history buffs and, indeed everyone, that due to the Presidents Day holiday the Hawaii State Library System will be closed Saturday, February 18 through Monday, February 20, 2012. The libraries will reopen again on Tuesday morning, February 21.
We at History Education Hawaii wish everyone an enjoyable and historical Presidents Day holiday. HEH will reopen its offices on Tuesday. As always, feel free to e-mail HEH anytime!
The Society for the History of Technology will hold its annual meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark, October 4-7, 2012 at the Copenhagen Business School.
NOTE: The proposal deadline is March 31, 2012.
The Program Committee invites paper and panel proposals on any topic in the history of technology, broadly defined. The Committee welcomes proposals for individual papers or sessions, as well as works-in-progress from researchers at all levels (including graduate students, chaired professors, and independent scholars).
It welcomes proposals from those new to SHOT, regardless of discipline. Multinational, international, and cross-institutional sessions are particularly encouraged.
SHOT especially encourage proposals from non-Western and Eastern-European scholars. Since this is a non-North American meeting, the Program Committee will permit scholars who presented at the 2011 Cleveland meeting to give papers in Copenhagen.
It is SHOT's policy to relax its rule about not presenting papers at two consecutive meetings in order to attract as many people as possible to meetings outside of North America.
For the 2012 meeting the Program Committee continues to welcome unconventional sessions; that is, session formats that diverge in useful ways from the typical three/four papers with comment. These might include round-table sessions, workshop-style sessions with papers that are pre-circulated electronically, or "author meets critics" sessions. SHOT also welcomes poster proposals for presentation in poster sessions.
The voyage of the Isabella from Mazatlan took 17 days. Upon its arrival in Honolulu Captain Briggs furnished the editors of The Polynesian with copies of American newspapers. The May 6, 1848 edition presented the news to its Hawaii readers, including the death of one of America's most venerated statesmen and a final direct link to the American Revolution.

Saturday, the 22d ult., was the birthday of the man of all nations, the immortal Washington, whose fame grows brighter with every succeeding year, and the luster of whose example stimulates men of all races to emulate his virtues.
Salutes were fired, morning, noon and night, from the Brandywine, and the occasion otherwise celebrated by his countrymen, to whom all climes and among all people the name of Washington stirs within them the proud remembrance of their country.

This Institute focuses on the American industry, from robotics to manufacturing still untouched by the passage of time -- all while enjoying the summer activities afforded by the retreat location.
The Summer Institue will be held July 8-13, 2012.
Tomorrow, February 12, 2012, is President Abraham Lincoln's birthday.
We decided to share with our readers the text of an article that appeared in the November, 1864 edition of The Friend. This monthly newspaper was published in Honolulu by Rev. Samuel C. Damon of the American Seaman's Friend Society.
PRESENTATION TO THE PRESIDENT. –The colored people of Baltimore, desirous of testifying their appreciation of the distinguished services of President Lincoln in the cause of human freedom, are about the present him with a copy of the Holy Bible, which is a masterpiece of art and taste.
It is the imperial quarto of the American Bible Society, bound in purple velvet with heavy gold mountings, appropriately engraved, and inclosed in a walnut case lined with white silk.
As a token of Respect and Gratitude.
Intrinsically valuable as this gift may be, it is of little account in comparison with the sentiment it represents or embodies. It will be properly appreciated by the great champion of emancipation; it will take its appropriate place in the history of his efforts toward the accomplishment of the grand consummation in which Maryland has taken a leading part. It will form one of the best and proudest memorials it has ever fallen to the lot of any public man to transmit to posterity. The expression of "the respect and gratitude" of our colored citizens is highly creditable to them, and we are glad to chronicle so noteworthy an occurrence. –Baltimore American.

Honolulu, 1844: A School Girl's Reply to Her Teacher's Enquiry-What is Your Age?
The Polynesian was a 19th century newspaper that served as the official voice of the royal Hawaiian government.
The following poem was published in the Saturday, November 16, 1844 edition. We post it here for the enjoyment of our readers everywhere.
My age, you wish to know, Sir?
Could tell-but why should I?
This sad excuse to read.

This month will mark the annual observance of Presidents Day. Throughout the month of February we'll provide our readers with historical reflections on the presidents taken from Hawaii-based sources.
Other monuments to this illustrious person have long ago been erected by not a few of the great States of our Union, and by not a few of the great cities of our States; but there remains to be reared a monument here, which shall bespeak the gratitude –not of the States nor of the Government- not of separate communities nor of official bodies- but of the people, the whole people, of the nation –a national monument erected by the citizens of America (applause). Of such a monument we have come to lay the corner stone here and now –on this day, on this spot, in this presence, and at this precise epoch of the history of our country and the world- we have come to commence this crowning act of commemoration. The day, the place, the witnesses, the precise period in ourn own history, and the world's history, all are full of the most felicitous appropriateness to the occasion. On this day, the fourth of July we come to acknowledge a public debt to our first benefactor.
We behold on the continent of Europe the influence of our institutions; we see spontaneous germination of seeds which were wafted over the ocean from our liberty tree (tremendous applause).
It was his great moral power, his incorruptibility, his reliance upon God, his purity of life, his disinterestedness of all parties, his solid information and sound judgment, that made a character for the world, and challenges an equal for an example.
Recently, on the other side of the Atlantic, Lamartine, in replying to the Indians, said, "Erase the name of Michiavel and substitute that of Washington. We want not a conqueror or a politician, but a man of the people. The great wants of the age is a European Washington (applause). Though we fear to receive disastrous intelligence through the magic wires –telling of his downfall- we say to Lamartine, Go on in your high career; your high character is appreciated; still oppose the upraised banner of blood, and the reign of terror; still aim, by willing words, to gain willing hearts, and make persuasion do the work of fear.
While commending Washington to others, do not fail to imitate his virtues. I will not disturb this assembly by one word of political allusion; but I must say that there has never been a moment when two great leading principles of his should be more especially cherished and remembered than at this time. The first is the more complete, cordial, and indissoluble union of the States; the second, the separation and disentanglement of our own country from other countries. Let the column about to rise be at once a pledge and emblem of the perpetuation of the Union! (applause.) Let the foundation be laid; let the superstructure be reared; let every stone be raise in support of the union. Let us seize this occasion to renew our vows to the constitution, and let us contemplate the power that holds the stars of our confederacy in a glorious constellation forever! (applause, long continued). Proceed to the noble work for which you have assembled. Build the monument to the skies. You cannot overreach the loftiness of his principles; found it on the massive and eternal rock, you cannot make it more enduring than is his fame; construct it of Parian marble, you cannot make it purer and more spotless than was his life; exhaust on it the principles of ancient and modern art, you cannot make it more proportionate than was his character.
Ka`ahumanu Hale-First Circuit Court in Honolulu was bustling with activity on Saturday morning, February 4, 2012.
On that day the Hawaii high school state qualifying hearings were held as part of the annual We The People: The Citizen and the Constitution competition. Organized by State Coordinator Sandra Cashman, the event was sponsored by the Friends of the Hawaii Judiciary History Center and the Center for Civic Education.
For the third year Jeffrey Bingham Mead, NCHE Hawaii liaison and president of History Education Hawaii, served as a judge. Mead was paired with Robert Buss, executive director of the Hawai`i Council for the Humanities and Ret. Judge Gail C. Nakatani. Other judges included Chief Justice Mark Recktenwald of the Hawaii State Supreme Court, Dr. John Hart, professor at Hawaii Pacific University, Dr. Brian Richardson, professor at Windward Community College, and members of Hawai'i's legal community.
We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution promotes civic competence and responsibility among the nation's upper elementary and secondary students. The program enjoys the active participation of members of Congress, as well as support from educational, professional, business, and community organizations across the nation. Since the inception of the We the People program in 1987, more than 30 million students and 90,000 educators have participated in this innovative course of study.
The following schools sent competing teams: Kahuku High & Intermediate School, Kahuku (Jan Harney, teacher); Kealakehe High School, Kailua Kona, Hawaii Island (Ezra Witsman, teacher); Iolani School, Honolulu (Woodie Milks, teacher); Island Pacific Academy, Kapolei (Kori Shlachter, teacher). Two showcase teams from Hawaii Technology Academy, Waipahu (Collin Kennedy, teacher) and La`ie Elementary School, La`ie (Colleen Spring, teacher) also participated.
The 2012 Hawaii winning team are from Kahuku High & Intermediate School (Jan Harney, teacher); Island Pacific Academy, Kapolei (Kori Shlachter, teacher); and Iolani School Team Red (Woodie Milks, teacher).
In 1954 students at Lincoln Elementary School participated in an essay contest entitled, 'Why We Americans Honor Abraham Lincoln.' The contest was sponsored by the Lincoln Day Dinner Committee of the Oahu County Republican organization, reported the Honolulu Advertiser on January 25, 1954.
The Advertiser reported that all contestants were limited to 267 words, "the number Lincoln used in his Gettysburg Address.
The winner would receive a $25 U.S. Defense Bond as a prize.
The February 3, 1954 edition of the Honolulu Advertiser announced the contest winner.
"Diane Takamune, 10-year-old fifth grader at Lincoln Elementary School, who wrote 'Abraham Lincoln was a truly great American,' seemed pleasantly surprised yesterday when she was called to the school auditorium stage and told she was first place winner of a Lincoln essay contest." Her mother was a second grade teacher at Lincoln School, and her father principal of Washington Intermediate School.
The second prize winner was 11-year-old Marilyn Wong, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Yan Sau Wong and Penny Ho, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tim Ho. Both were sixth graders.
Diane Takamune wrote that, "we honor Abraham Lincoln because he was a fair, honest and kind person –he believed that all men are created equal." She also said that the Gettysburg Address "was like a prayer." "Abe was a kind man in all of his ways, at home, at work, and even in war." Diane Takamune's essay had 261 words.
Judges of the contest were Robert M. Faulker, district superintendent for Honolulu schools; William T.S. Wong, principal of Lincoln School, and Mrs. Byrd J. Lacy, vice principal.

Sistahs on The Frontlines: Bobbie Wooten – A Dignity Provider
by Genoa Barrow February 24, 2021 October 13, 2022
As the cold weather amps up, so does Bobbie Wooten's efforts to provide compassionate delivery of needs and resources without "red tape" and "a thousand questions." (photos by Ray Johnson)
After a car accident left her battered and briefly in a coma, Bobbie Wooten was in a tailspin. She had already faced hardships as a young mother and began to question her purpose.
"I did some soul searching," Ms. Wooten shared. "I began to ask, 'Why am I here?"
"I'm a regular person who just wants to be able to wake up and make it and take care of my family," she continued.
Ms. Wooten also takes care of the community as founder of Feed Sacramento Homeless (FSH), a non-profit agency providing mobile resources. It was born in 2013 after a classmate at Sacramento City College mentioned his plan to make sandwiches and give them out for Thanksgiving. She expanded on the idea and took to social media for support. In two weeks time, they had an army of volunteers and enough food to feed, well, a small army. They drove around the streets of South Sacramento and ended downtown, near the Loaves & Fishes shelter. But even those 100 full meals weren't enough.
"I saw the need and it overwhelmed me," Ms. Wooten shared. "It really took me to a dark place emotionally."
Light, and the answer to her introspection, came through providing meals, daily essentials — and dignity on a continual basis.
"I know a smile and truly showing somebody some compassion … looking them in the eye like they are a person and letting them know that they are being seen, that can be enough motivation and inspiration for somebody to get off the street," Ms. Wooten said.
She enjoys connecting people to resources offered by like-minded organizations.
"On a daily, we can receive anywhere from five to 10 requests for items that are needed, whether it's from community partners or clients themselves," Ms. Wooten shared.
A partner recently placed 10 people into a warming shelter, but they didn't have sleeping bags, so they called her and she was able to provide them.
"It varies, but every day it's about getting the resources out to the unhoused, especially right now with it being so cold."
FSH hosts popup events, passing out coats, blankets, tents, and tarps. The events will soon include workshops ranging from business and budgeting to keeping safe if stopped by the police.
"We provide the food, they need that and that's a great deal for the basic needs to be met, but now it's about, 'What else can we provide? And what educational skills can we offer to you so you can become self-sufficient?"
Pop ups are held every third Sunday on Del Paso Boulevard. They're usually on Stockton Boulevard on the fourth Sunday, but that may change, due to continued sweeps of the encampments there. The pandemic has also changed things.
"The need is far greater than prior to COVID," Ms. Wooten said. "There's a lot of people who lost their jobs. I was going out every day from August to December, five days a week. Same encampments. I would see these new faces and they'd run to the truck and they'd be like, 'Yeah we're trying to learn how it works out here,' 'This is the first time we've been in this situation,' 'We are on a fixed income and the rent went up and then COVID came and my wife lost her job.' It's just so disheartening what's going on right now.
"There are families out here with autistic children living in campers," she shared. "There are veterans who have fought for this country and don't have anywhere to live. How do you explain that? How do you rationalize that in the world today?"
The need is great and so is the toll it can take on service providers.
"We're out there every day and we're risking our lives, or our health, and we go back to our families. It's a balance. Mentally, it does become challenging and it does wear on you as 'essential workers' or somebody who works in this industry. But how do you stop working, just because COVID is here? These people still need to eat. These people still need hygiene and these people still need shoes."
Local officials, Ms. Wooten says, must do more.
"If the City and the mayor didn't know who is really doing the work before COVID, they know now. They all see how much this work is needed and they see what it takes for us people working on the front lines to continue to provide for those individuals, so I don't see why they don't call us all in and let us figure this out in a forum that is nothing but professional, but definitely open and provide us with the resources and allocate the funding so that we can truly truly make a difference out here."

Tornado touches down in Guilford, warning issued for Rockingham; watches issued for Forsyth and other NC counties
April 16, 2018 May 4, 2018 admin Facilities
After a tornado touched down in Guilford County this afternoon and the National Weather Service in Raleigh issued tornado warning for Rockingham County, and tornado and flash flood watches are in effect for Forsyth and other areas as well.
At 5:16 p.m., a confirmed tornado was located near Greensboro, moving north at 45 mph, the National Weather Service said in a statement.
And At 5:30 p.m., a confirmed tornado was located near Monroeton, moving northeast at 40 mph., the National Weather Service said. A tornado warning was in effect until 6 p.m. for eastern Rockingham and western Caswell counties.
Areas impacted in Rockingham included Eden, Reidsville, Wentworth, Bethel and Providence.
Residents in these areas are advised to move to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows and if you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris.
At 4:17 p.m., a severe thunderstorm also was located near Clemmons, moving north at 80 mph. Winds gusts of 70 mph and quarter-size hail is expected.
A tornado watch is in effect until 11 p.m. tonight and affects several N.C. counties, including Forsyth, Guilford, Davidson, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Alamance, Chatham and Caswell .
Heavy rain also is expected through this evening and a flash flood watch is in effect until midnight for Forsyth, Davidson, Guilford, Randolph, and Stanly counties.
Rain falling at a rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour, with a total rainfall of 2 to 3 inches, is possible and may lead to flash flooding, particularly in urban and poor drainage areas, according to the National Weather Service.
The greatest risk for severe storms is between now and 8 p.m. Sunday.
Severe storms across the Carolinas have blown down trees, caused airport delays and dropped hail.
The airport in Charlotte said on Twitter Sunday that severe weather has caused a ground stop and forced air traffic controllers to leave their tower. The ground stop was later lifted. Meanwhile, television stations in Charlotte were posting images of large hail on Twitter.
The Charlotte Fire Department also reported that it's "currently responding to numerous storm-related calls for trees and lines down."
The Columbia, South Carolina, police department said on Twitter that multiple traffic lights were malfunctioning because of the severe weather. In nearby Lexington County, the sheriff's office reported that downed trees were blocking roads in multiple locations.
Duke Energy said about 26,000 customers were without power in North Carolina, and another 10,000 in South Carolina.

I am a beginner at custom master page branding. I have converted an html page to a master page ,pretty simple. I know how to use the snippets too. But i notice that every single page i navigate to show the custom master page,and their content at the bottom page. I need to create other pages that inherit the custom master page navigation and layout. Can you show me the steps or point me to some tutorials.
within SharePoint online yes you can update the master page but try not to modify the master page unless you have no option! As SharePoint is an SaaS provider means that your going to find that you go quickly out of date and have an uphill battle updating the master page to incorporate any changes / broken objects when Microsoft releases any change which is all the time (weekly mini updates -> monthly then quarterly (large updates)) ;).
You should mostly do branding via CSS.
select the cog (top right) -> site settings -> under "look and feel" select "master page" -> click on "alternate CSS URL" -> select the third radio button to add your own css file. Save the css file within a document library like "Site Assets" . -> make sure you also select the checkbox to reset all subsites to inherit the new css.
tie this in with some custom page layouts and your all set!
The SharePoint Online service is constantly improving.
Avoid customizing master pages. As mentioned above, updates to the service, may affect the structure of out of the box master pages. If you have implemented custom master page copying the contents of any out of the box master page, you will need to further monitor if this out of the box master page is not updated, and re-implement these changes in your custom master page. Otherwise, some SharePoint functionality may start behaving incorrectly, when your custom master page is in use. That's why customizing master pages leads to additional risks and maintenance costs, and it's recommended to avoid it, when possible.

Shallow wells first victim of area drought
By Joe Grogan jgrogan@norwichbulletin.com (860) 425-4219
Sep 28, 2016 at 10:06 PM Sep 29, 2016 at 11:42 AM
Carol Cassidy, of Preston, stomped out a cigarette in her front yard Wednesday as the screech from a drilling rig filled the air behind her house.
Cassidy, who relies on a well to supply her Roosevelt Avenue home with water, is one victim of the drought which has stripped Eastern Connecticut of surface and shallow ground water since spring began, and which shows no solid signs of letting up any time soon.
"It's crazy," Cassidy said. "I haven't had any water since June, and the pond (next to the house) is almost empty."
The drought, fueled by a summer-long heat wave and rainfall totaling less than 5.5 inches since the start of June, has left many of the region's residents in the same boat as Cassidy.
Weather Underground meteorologist and blogger
Bob Henson said, "There's still a challenge, often, in determining what causes a drought that lasts a whole summer or spring. I'd say there's no readily available explanation for it. I would chalk it up to seasonal variability right now."
Whatever the cause of the drought, its result has been a severe water shortage with no easy solution for residents and farms in the region.
For Cassidy, who was installing a 300-foot-deep well on her property Wednesday, the drought has meant showering at her daughter's house and buying bottled water for her everyday needs, she said.
But some people need more water than they can pick up at the supermarket, like Spielman Dairy Farm co-owner Justin Spielman, of Baltic.
"We have wells here, but our wells can't keep up with our needs," he said. "So we've had a guy here five days a week hauling in water (from a pond down the road)."
The farm, which houses nearly 900 dairy cows, uses a tanker truck to carry about 200,000 gallons of water to the Plain Hill facility each week, Spielman said.
For well water users, the financial burdens of coping with such a drought are hard to pin down and vary case-by-case, experts said.
For Spielman, whose family owns the pond from which his farm draws water, the biggest expenses are labor and gas for the tanker truck, he said.
Residents like Cassidy, however, have had to shoulder the expense of digging a deeper or new well.
"A new well like this will run you about $5,000," driller Howard Barber, of Dayville, said.
The number of residents requiring such services has risen drastically since June, experts say.
"We're still encountering a lot of properties that have dug wells as their source of water, and we're inundated with phone calls on a daily basis," said Linda South, office manager for Dalmik Well Drilling out of Putnam. "We used to have a call volume of maybe 20 a day, but this summer that's up to about 70 calls a day."
"It's been just since the beginning of summer, since we had a very dry spring and a very dry last year overall," Paul LaFramboise, president of LaFramboise Well Drilling of Thompson, said. "So I think the dry calls started earlier this year. We do have quite a few people that we've drilled replacement wells this summer and fall for."
Another danger for well water users during the drought, especially those who rely on shallow wells less than 200 feet deep, is mechanical failure thanks to a lack of water, South said.
"When there's no water, if people allow their pumps to continuously run then they're trying to suck up water that isn't there," she said. In shallow wells, those pumps can start to suck mud instead of water and become ruined, she said.
Henson couldn't say how long the drought would last.
But a week of rain to ring out September and the potential for a tropical storm coming off the Atlantic could offer residents some hope.
"One thing that could end a drought for your guys is a tropical storm," Henson said. "There's one being watched right now that will probably be called Tropical Storm Matthew which might head up to the Northeast. But that's not a prediction yet, just a watch."


Most commonly used for applying polishes, glazes, sealants, and waxes!
The Yellow Foam Applicator is ideal for applying polishes, glazes, sealants, waxes, dressings and so more. Its porous surface applies products evenly and thoroughly during the application process for any product. Its soft material helps ensure you are working safely and effectively. The Foam Applicator can be reused and is very durable so you get a great value.
Have found many uses for these applicators and for the price you can't go wrong, both interior and exterior uses and nice quality too.
better than some I have bought from a store, used them for waxing.
What you see is exactly what you get, this is a simple foam applicator pad. It works as you would expect and the durability seems to be very good. I have about a dozen of these pads and have washed them maybe a dozen times as well, and they're holding up great!

Leftist threats to Supreme Court grow, fulfilling Sen. Schumer's promise of a 'whirlwind' 2 years ago
'You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,' the Democrat leader said in 2020.
Senate minority leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.).Sarah Silbiger / Getty Images
Calvin Freiburger
Fri May 6, 2022 - 3:04 pm EDT
(LifeSiteNews) – Pro-lifers are arguing that left-wing threats to Supreme Court justices who may be about to overturn Roe v. Wade are not surprising in light of inflammatory rhetoric on the issue from left-wing leaders.
Last December, the Court began consideration of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which concerned Mississippi's HB 1510 law banning abortions from being committed past 15 weeks for any reason other than physical medical emergencies or severe fetal abnormalities. After its enactment in 2019, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals deemed HB 1510 unconstitutional because of an "unbroken line dating to Roe," the 1973 ruling which imposed on all 50 states a "right" to pre-viability abortion.
On Monday evening, Politico published a leak of what appeared to be a draft of a majority opinion written by conservative Justice Samuel Alito declaring that "Roe was egregiously wrong from the start," and therefore it is "time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives." On Tuesday morning, the Court announced the draft was authentic but "does not represent a final decision by the court or the final position of any member on the issues in the case."
It remains unclear whether the draft represents a final decision to overturn Roe, a tentative decision subject to change, a document prepared in anticipation of a majority to overturn, or was written in hopes of persuading Alito's colleagues to sign on.
Regardless, the leak has sent shockwaves across the political spectrum, with pro-lifers tentatively rejoicing, pro-abortion politicians and activists lashing out in anger, and many speculating that the leak may have been intended to pressure judges to flip their votes, or to incite hatred and threats against them.
So far, such threats include Twitter-verified copywriter Simon Gwynn posing a "thought experiment" about when would be the ideal time "to kill Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito" and publicizing the home addresses of Supreme Court justices.
The leak was also met with screaming protesters gathered outside the Supreme Court, who shouted things like "if we don't get it tear it down," and at points got physical against pro-life counter-demonstrators.
In light of these events, some have recalled comments Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made in March 2020, on the steps of the Supreme Court: "I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price! You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."
Those words elicited a rare rebuke from moderate Chief Justice John Roberts, who said that "threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous."
"Who or what would hit the two justices — and how exactly?" wondered historian Victor Davis Hanson this week, who noted that the "hard left had detoured from the mainstream of American voters onto a radical trajectory. So it will never find 51% public approval for any of its current extremist and crackpot initiatives. Instead, it sees success only through altering the rules of governance or changing the demography of the electorate — or both."
@SenSchumer, @POTUS and ALL Democrat office holders need to denounce these efforts to physically intimidate and threaten Justices. Going to homes to "protest" has no place in the public square. Shame on them.
— Mark Paoletta (@MarkPaoletta) May 6, 2022
Will be curious to find out which far-left dark money terrorists are paying protestors to threaten Supreme Court Justices AT THEIR HOMES.
Remember that Chuck Schumer once threatened Justices from the steps of the Court.
Now his allies are following through. https://t.co/2moOf3puRm
— Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) May 5, 2022
This week, Schumer said the leaked opinion marked a "dark and disturbing day for America, and that the prospect of returning abortion to the democratic process was an "abomination."
If Alito's opinion does prove to be the Supreme Court's final decision, its ramifications will be drastic. More than twenty states currently have laws on the books that would effectively ban abortion within their borders upon Roe's fall, from pre-Roe abortion bans that went unenforced through to "trigger laws" designed not to take effect until a ruling like today's. In those states, abortion would become illegal as soon as the ruling is issued.
More than a dozen other states plus the District of Columbia have laws on the books legally protecting abortion, at least three of which explicitly codify the practice as a "right."
Abortion would remain legal in those jurisdictions, as well as the remaining states that have not spelled out abortion's status one way or another, but without Roe state residents would have the power to vote on the issue for themselves, or lobby their elected representatives to change the law in either direction. Pro-lifers in Congress could pursue a nationwide abortion ban, as well.

Dr. Hengstermann has written a report on the newly concluded workshop in Cambridge - the first in a series of interdisciplinary workshops on the Latin works of Henry More. This first one centered on the Concepts of God and Man in More's Critique of Spinoza.
The first workshop on the Latin Works of Henry More translated into English for the first time on the AHRC-funded project Cambridge Platonism at the Origins of the Enlightenment was devoted to first two of the author's three works directed against the rationalism of Baruch de Spinoza. More's Ad V.C. Epistola Altera, written in 1677 and published in 1679, is an in-depth refutation of Spinoza's Theological-Political Treatise of 1670. The Scholia subsequently appended to the original work provides a first critical overview of Spinoza's Opera Posthuma of 1677 as well as a detailed refutation of the materialism and vitalism of Cambridge physician and metaphysician Francis Glisson.
Benedikt P. Göcke (Bochum) gave an introduction to the contemporary debates on panentheism, stressing the significance of More's theology of divine space as a daring alternative concept of God. At the centre of the introductory panel discussion was a debate between Prof. Klaus Müller (Münster) and Prof. Douglas Hedley (Cambridge). Whereas Müller espoused a Spinozist view of God and the cosmos, viewed as two irreducible aspects of one reality, Hedley, drawing on Henry More's critique, insisted upon the indispensability of divine goodness which is abandoned as an unenlightened anthropomorphism in Spinoza's rationalism. The subsequent discussion revolved around the role of God's goodness in Spinozism and Cambridge Platonism.
The papers of the workshop dealt with More's refutation of Spinoza's Tractatus. Christian Hengstermann (Münster) provided an introductory exposition of the newly-translated work, placing it in the long Anglo-Dutch debate about the relationship of faith and reason in early modern Protestantism and emphasizing More's commitment to God's goodness as the first perfection of the ens perfectissimum. Mark Burden (Bristol) addressed the politics of Henry More, as the latter rejected Spinoza's definition of the natural right as an egotistic striving for self-preservation and advocated religious toleration on the eve of the exclusion crisis. Anders-Christian Jacobsen (Aarhus) outlined the Origenist background of some of the key tenets of the Epistola altera, notably the pre-existence of souls and of Christ. Friedrich Uehlein (Freiburg) and Raimund Litz (Cologne) gave expositions of Spinoza's religious and moral philosophy. According to Spinoza, religion is not based on reason, but the imagination conceiving of God as an "exemplar of a good life" of charity and justice. Exempt from all moral categories, his omnipotence is the principle of man's own striving for self-preservation. Jan Rohls (Munich) gave an overview of More's critique of Dutch collegian and Socinian Frans Kuyper whose fideism of biblical revelation he rejects as wanting, if not quasi-atheistic. Adrian Mihai (Cambridge) and Christian Hengstermann (Münster) discussed Ralph Cudworth's and More's critique of panpsychism or "hylozoism", as espoused by Spinoza and some of his 17th-century followers like Francis Glisson.
The lively debates of the first workshop on the Latin works of Henry bore testimony to the significance of his critique of Spinoza. A second workshop will take place at the Ruhr University Bochum on December 1, 2018.


Situated in a natural clearing of a large grove of aspen trees, this Wyoming home's landscape design makes the most of its wetlands and natural water courses. A breezeway connects the front drive, barn and main house.
Situated between the Teton Range and the Snake River in northwestern Wyoming, the home is dominated by jurisdictional wetlands and natural water courses, so man-made water features are a natural enhancement to the site design. A series of ponds thread their way through this Wyoming's home site and floor plan. In the front, the water design takes on a natural pond-like form that butts against the foundation of the barn and family room.
To enhance the backyard's natural beauty, the landscape architects brought in a Wyoming moss rock that doubles as a water feature. Flowering plants surround the piece and help it further blend with the environment.
Sited in a natural clearing of a huge grove of aspen trees between the Teton Range and the Snake River in northwestern Wyoming, this home mixes natural water courses with man-made water features that highlight the landscape.
Water plays a pivotal role in the landscape design of this Wyoming home. The ponds around the front of the barn are channeled into a sluiceway reminiscent of irrigation canals to be deposited into a natural-appearing body of water. The water is then recycled back to the front pond or allowed to seep back into the water table from whence it came.
A sluiceway reminiscent of irrigation canals carries water around the Wyoming home, recycling water back to the front pond or allowing it to seep back into the water table from whence it came. The rustic meets contemporary barn combines logs with glass chinking that creates a unique reflective look.
The main living area of the home is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that seamlessly blend the indoors with the out. Gorgeous views of the aspen tree grove and man-made water features, like the soothing pond, allow the home to be an integral part of its natural surroundings.
Nestled in a grove of aspen trees, this Wyoming home incorporates seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings. The porch is even designed around some of the aspen trees, making them a welcomed part of outdoor dining spot.
Floor-to-ceiling windows seamlessly blend the inside of this Wyoming home with its beautiful natural surroundings. Water plays a pivotal role, encompassing the home in a variety of forms. A pond reflects the contemporary, rustic home.
Sluiceways, reminiscent of irrigation canals, surround the open porch, channeling water from the pools next to the barn to the ponds in front of the house. The Wyoming home is built in a natural clearing of aspen trees, which are also used as part of the porch design.
Rustic stacked stone mixes with exposed wood beams and sleek wooden columns to create a home that's rustic meets contemporary. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide the family stunning views of the natural and man-made water features, as well as the Wyoming mountains.
The northwestern Wyoming home and barn is dominated by jurisdictional wetlands and natural water courses, so man-made water features are a natural enhancement to the landscape. In the front, the pond butts against the foundation of the barn and family room. The water exploits the glass chinking between the logs of the barn, providing a quietly dazzling mirror image of the barn.
Between the contemporary meets rustic home and barn is a body of water that surrounds the spa and is confined on all sides by man-made edges. The glass chinking between the barn's logs creates a striking mirror for the reflective water.

The World's Most Influential Galleries, Glitch Art, & More
Glitchy!
Need break from your family this holiday weekend? Escape into the sweet embrace of Artspace's Weekend Reads.
"Sexuality, Innocence, Darkness, Complacency" – In April's Artforum, Johanna Fateman assesses the online exhibition of feminist net art "Body Anxiety," along with related Internet and social-media works by artists such as Amalia Ulman and Frances Stark. As she finds, the web's culture of constant co-option—of screengrabbing and trolling—poses some challenges to criticality. "If to put an image of one's body on the Internet is to frame it with the apparatus of porn, to lose control of its circulation, and to expose oneself to the cultural anxiety, sexist scrutiny, and confounding hostility that attend the gesture, then what's the way forward?" she writes. (Artforum)
Gustav's Gilded Gift – Patricia Cohen digs into the backstory of the new film "Woman in Gold," which stars Helen Mirren as Maria Altmann, the niece of Adele Bloch-Bauer, whose gilded portrait by Gustav Klimt now hangs in the Neue Galerie. As Cohen reminds us, the case of Altmann, who succeeded in winning restitution of the painting from the Austrian government after a long legal battle, is exceptional. "The few successful claimants," she writes, "tend to have big bankrolls, meticulous records, and an exceptional run of luck." (The New York Times)
The Winner's Circle – A new statistical study conducted by The Art Newspaper finds that a whopping 30 percent of major U.S. museum exhibitions of contemporary artists shown between 2007 and 2013 featured named from just five galleries: David Zwirner, Hauser & Wirth, Gagosian, Pace, and Marian Goodman. While not necessarily shocking news, considering the fact that these galleries reprent both today's most famous artists and the estates of historic figures, the numbers demonstrate something many have long suspected: the inside game of the art market extends well into the walls of even the most respected art institutions. (The Art Newspaper)
Alone in a Crowded Chatroom – The Guardian's Olivia Laing delivers a long, thoughtful meditation on loneliness in the Internet Age, drawing from the work of Edward Hopper, Jean Cocteau, Oliver Laric, Ryan Trecartin, and more as she thinks through digital connectivity and isolation. This is far from a reactionary screed against the perceived "shallowness" of social media—Laing maintains a cautious yet hopeful outlook, writing, "We long for contact and it makes us afraid. But as long as we are still capable of feeling and expressing vulnerability, intimacy stands a chance." (The Guardian)
"Scapegoated, Discriminated Against, and Stereotyped" – Critic Ben Davis reviews Trenton Doyle Hancock's survey at the Studio Museum in Harlem, peeling back layers of the artist's surreal, sex-and-food-obsessed personal mythology to find a sensitive political consciousness. Hancock's work, Davis writes, "suggests how a plunge into the unconscious might take on particular significance in an America where evidence of racism still crowds in on all sides, to keep the mind from being paralyzed by ambient outrage." (Artnet)
The Good Glitches – Miles Klee of the Daily Dot's Kernel magazine writes an accessible, intelligent history of glitch art, the multifaceted pseudo-movement devoted to exploring and exploiting cracks in the otherwise smooth facade of digital media. The most interesting pieces Klee cites are not the GIFs currently dominating online art making, nor even the giants of '90s net art (although many of these are indeed great works of art), but the very early experiments with electronic media by the likes of Nam June Paik and Len Lye, reminders of W.T.J. Mitchell's old adage: "The shock of new media is as old as the hills." (The Kernel)

Save on NEAF Demo Products at High Point!
We went a little crazy this year and purchased all of the NEAF demo gear from the Celestron, Meade, and Explore Scientific booths. We purchased so much NEAF demo gear that we have to hire another truck to bring it back to our facility.
So here's the deal. All of the gear in this promotion is being shipped to the North East Astronomy Forum in new, factory sealed condition. The scopes and accessories are then being opened and displayed in their respective booths April 6th and 7th. We are selling everything at a steep discount: up to 49%. All of the NEAF Demo's come with a full manufacturer warranty and will start shipping on April 11th and 12th.
Last year we sold out of many of the demo's before the show because each manufacturer typically only brings one of each item to display. If you are thinking about scooping up anything on this list don't delay as it may not be available the next time you visit our site.
As always, don't hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have!

Q: Having issues trying to fix this control flow problem I've thought I figured out how basic javascript logic  works, but here I must have forgot something.

 let firstElementSavedIndex = 1
 console.log(firstElementSavedIndex)
 firstElementSavedIndex = 0;
 console.log(firstElementSavedIndex)
 if (firstElementSavedIndex !== undefined || firstElementSavedIndex !== 0) firstElementSavedIndex -= 1;

 console.log(firstElementSavedIndex)

The code  I created above I wanted to use as a guard to prevent firstElementSavedIndex from decrementing unless firstElementSavedIndex isn't undefined or 0.
However the code above decrements even if firstElementSavedIndex is 0.
I must be missing something basic, but I havent found any solutions so far.
Any help would be appreciated.
-Hendrik

A: In the if block the expression becomes
0 !== undefined || 0 !== 0
true || 0 !== 0
true

Since you are using or as long something evaluates to true the whole expression will become true hence the code goes inside the if block.
To fix this you need to replace || with && and make the conditional as savedIndex greater than 0.

let firstElementSavedIndex = 1;
console.log(firstElementSavedIndex);

firstElementSavedIndex = 0;
console.log(firstElementSavedIndex);

if (firstElementSavedIndex !== undefined && firstElementSavedIndex > 0) {
    firstElementSavedIndex -= 1;
}
console.log(firstElementSavedIndex);

now it becomes
0 !== undefined && 0 > 0
true && 0 > 0
true && false
false

This Week in Bachelor Nation History: Franchise 'Superfans' Take Part in 'Bachelor Pad' Season 3
Raise your hand if you remember the epic premiere of "Bachelor Pad" Season 3!
This week marks nine years since the show came back for its third and final installment with a twist. As OG members of Bachelor Nation will recall, five "superfans" — who were found through an open casting call — helped kick off the romance-infused game show, which convened memorable and controversial characters from the franchise.
The fans joined in to spice things up and compete for love and money against veteran Bachelors and Bachelorettes. The group ultimately headed to the Bachelor Mansion to live and scheme their way to winning $250,000 — and maybe a lasting relationship.
Season 3 of "Bachelor Pad" — the predecessor to "Bachelor in Paradise" — saw alums and lucky fans square off in head-to-head challenges to compete for immunity and the opportunity to go on dates with contestants of their choice. The winner of each challenge then granted immunity to one of his or her dates via the presentation of a rose.
At the end of each episode, the contestants voted among themselves — the men voted off a woman and vice versa — to determine which participants would be eliminated from the competition.
To refresh your memory even further, the first group challenge of Season 3 — called "Falling for Love" — featured men and women coupling up and trying to keep each other from falling out of quickly tilting hearts that were hoisted high off the ground.
While "superfans" Brittany Taltos and David Mallet came out victorious in the "Falling for Love" challenge, Nick Peterson — who appeared on Ashley Hebert's Season 7 of "The Bachelorette" — won the entire show and shockingly decided not to split his financial prize with partner Rachel Truehart.
Check out cast photos for "Bachelor Pad" Season 3 here.

A good pair of scissors is usually made of high quality carbon steel, which should have a certain degree of hardness, excellent abrasive resistance and sharpness.
In addition to the requirements above, nowadays, people also ask scissors to be good-looking, bright and good corrosion resistance.
The advantage of 2Cr14Mo is its superior machining property, after heat treatment, 2Cr14Mo has excellent corrosion resistance, polishability, high strength and wearing resistance.


Paul Casey is now the No. 3-ranked player in the world and in search of a major championship to validate his standing in the golf world, but he's encountered a roadblock that might postpone his bid to 2010.
Casey withdrew from the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational after six holes of the first round because of a strained intercostal muscle, between his ribs.
"I actually did it a couple of weeks ago, a week before the (British) Open, hitting drivers with (Peter) Kostis," he said. "I'm blaming Kostis.
"I battled through the Open, but I haven't done much in a couple weeks. I tried to rest it and then tweaked it in the rough on Monday."
Casey has been receiving treatment every day, to no avail. He won't commit to making the start at the PGA Championship next week.
"I've got to be careful because there's a lot of important golf left -- the FedEx Cup, the Race to Dubai, a lot of big stuff," he said.

Children Ages Five to 11 Eligible for COVID-19 Vaccine
Sam Stokem, Staff Writer|December 2, 2021
Image by torstensimon from Pixabay
COVID-19 vaccine is now available for children 5 and older.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for ages five to 11 became officially available for administration as of November 3, 2021.
The Centre for Disease Control (CDC) released information stating that as of November 4, the specified age group may get the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, free of charge.
Dosage amounts differ from the vaccine for those five to 11 than those 12 and older. The vaccine for the younger group is adjusted and is one-third of the adult amount, but still carries the same ingredients. Smaller needles, specifically designed for children, will also be used.
Like with adults and older children, side effects on the arm where the vaccine is administered are pain, redness, and swelling. Minor effects that emerge once the vaccine is given are chills, fever, and tiredness. Some, on the more moderate side, include headaches, nausea, and muscle pain. According to the CDC, there is no need to worry, however; any effects will dwindle in a couple days. A few more severe ones are possible, yet extremely rare. If there are any problems, consult your pediatrician for advice.
Currently, a Pfrizer-BioNTech vaccine is the only vaccine available for this age group. A Moderna and J&J/Janssen vaccine is not yet at hand.
The Lancer Ledger interviewed Ms. Anna Leszczynski, mother of two boys, one in the specified age group above. She responded, saying, "I know that a lot of people were waiting for this approval, so I'm happy for those who are comfortable with vaccinating their children and feel like this is the best decision for them." She also mentioned that her "intention is to not vaccinate my child – at least for now," and that she is "hopeful that this decision will remain in the hands of the parents since the vaccine only has emergency use approval."
If you have any questions or want to schedule an appointment for vaccination, you can contact your local pharmacy or pediatrician.

Q: Page Rendering Issue with Django and Twitter-Bootstrap I'm new to Django and was going through the Django Book for the first time.  I tried just throwing some bootstrapped html into a file:

And rendered it with this view:

When I start a test server using python manage.py runserver I get a plain ugly html page, rather than a bootstrapped page.  Why is this?  (I do have the bootstrap assets in the same directory)
