Pirated Animations and Content Theft
There's been a lot of frustration in Second Life from content creators… from texture artists, to animators, to builders, to scripters… everyone has felt the squeeze and frustration that comes from hard work being ripped off by someone else. Copybots, illegally selling or giving away textures and animations… all sorts of things. It's always been around. Seriously the first time I was really faced with some of these issues was within the first 6 months of being in SL over two years ago.
I was sort of new, wanting to create and bought a splash animation. You know… kicked back in the water where your arm swept around splashing. You see it a lot, it's pretty common. I had gotten it from a yard sale for like 50L. I thought it was a great deal, it was no mod though… and I was really new, didn't know much about things at the time… so I contacted the animator (which most people know this guy.. Craig Altman, awesome stuff… love the slow dances at Bits and Bobs, not to mention some of the other ones!) to talk about it. We chatted for quite awhile. He asked me to send him a copy and when he replied he told me I had basically gotten an illegal copy, he also told me how frustrating it was for him… and he told me about another lady, Nytemyst Grace, who basically was having even more problems. How her business was really really being effected because most of her poses were full permission while he only kept a few that way. I remember this conversation with a great bit of clarity, I also recall that even though the copy of the animation I had was illegal… Craig gave me a full permission modifiable version and he didn't ask for me to pay for it. He just handed it to me, said he wished people wouldn't resell his stuff without his authorization and was going to end it there.
You know even then I was floored because… really… his stuff was being ripped off, people were abusing the rights that he gave them with it, and still he gave me a copy to fix the problem I was having. I hadn't even bought it from him.
I sent him the money for it right then. At the time it seemed like a lot, and now it doesn't so much. 1000L, not really much at all for an animation… maybe it wasn't much but I told him how I appreciated the work he put in and that it was the least that I could do. Also said that I understood that without him or people like him willing to put themselves out there at risk of having their things abused then people like me, who couldn't animate themselves if they tried, would be royally screwed over.
This place is a community, we work together… whether we wish to or not we pool our resources, knowledge, and ideas to try to better each others work and fantasies. I bristle whenever I see in a few of the learning groups people asking for animations to just be passed out… or textures. "hey does anyone have a float animation…" or whatever else they are begging for and then the inevitable parade of people all asking for free copies of someone elses hard work.
There is a list of animations right now that is going around, most of them are basically free now because a few people sold them full permission without the right or authority to do so. I know I have some of them, I don't really use them. I joined the groups for Nytemyst's animations so if I wanted one I could go pick em up (and really she sells them for hardly anything… why not) and I pick up things when I can at different stores where I have been given the privilege to buy and then sell in my creations. It isn't easy, I wish I could spend all the money I wanted to get all of them at once so I don't have to worry about them being gone tomorrow since things change so quickly in SL but I can't.
There's a designer who has turned off their vendors because of the content theft. Going to everyone's stores in their group looking for people who may be selling pirated animations or thieves. Sadly I'm sitting there scared that I will be tossed from their group because I actually went to Bits and Bobs, bought most of those couples sets that are now on the pirated lists and the sit poses… and due to the few people who decided to be idiots I wonder if I will be painted with the same broad strokes as those people, kicked out of the group and unable to continue purchasing what I really work hard to get.
It's sad… it bothers me a lot. I wish there was more that I could do besides a few posters in my place, and not breaking the TOS for them. I know that it is not easy to make it in SL, and I know that people will take short cuts because it is so competitive… so difficult to get ahead. I just hope that in the process the people who try to stay legitimate don't end up getting caught in the crossfire along with them while creators protect their work.
How can I tell pirated animations? <this post has a small list of animations that are going around… most of them CAN be purchased legally if you go to places like Bits and Bobs or Nytemyst Isle. Please support Content Creators in Second Life!

The Mixmate Android app controls the equipment in the field and captures the mixing data. The tablet or phone connects to the equipment through a Wi-Fi connection. The Mixmate Android app can be used with the Mixmate equipment or can be used stand-alone. The app is used to calculate and record the mixes. When the the app is used without an equipment connection, actual amounts can be recorded manually. When our Mixmate equipment is connected, the data is captured and recorded automatically. The app will also capture part of the records automatically and record manual inputs. An example of this would be when a Mixmate Flow is used for the bulk products and a regular inductor is used for any manually added products.
The app has three major functions: control of the mixing operation, reporting, and setup.
The mixing is very easy for an operator in the field especially when a prescription or job (work order) is set up ahead of time. The operator only has to select the job or prescription and verify the batch size to start mixing. The operator is prompted for any products that need to be manually added to a Mixmate Inductor. The measuring is done by the inductor and the actual and target amounts are recorded.
One of Mixmate's patented features is the ability to adjust the batch for field conditions. A factor such as wind speed can adjust the amount of drift retardant or the size of a weed can adjust the amount of herbicide in the mix. The batch is automatically calculated according to the current conditions. The operator does not need to make decisions or do the calculations which reduces errors. This Mixmate App feature can also be used to manually enter a rate for a product to be mixed automatically. The field conditions are entered while verifying the mix info.
The data recorded from the mixing operations would be of little value without a good reporting system. Data can be sorted and summarized many different ways. Some of the common filters are date, operation, location, and product. A PDF report can be downloaded or printed.
Basic setup includes products, prescriptions, and jobs. Advanced setup includes system setup, facilities, transports, applicators, crops, conditions, etc. The system administrator can limit operators access to the basic and advanced setup sections.
Android was chosen for several reasons. Rugged Android tablets are available. Rugged tablets can be exposed to the weather and washed. It is nice to be able to rinse a tablet off when exposed to chemicals. The Android operating system is much more user friendly than a Windows-based system.
Software updates are very easy with the Mixmate system. The Android software updates come through the Google Play Store and can be installed automatically. Our app also will update the electronics used in the Mixmate hardware. The user only has to approve the software update and the system handles the rest. This is one of the great advantages of a cloud-based system. It is very easy to maintain.
The Mixmate app is free and available on Google Play.
"Get the job done. Don't worry about the paperwork or the math.
With Mixmate being able to calculate the acres and the gallons you don't have to worry about that.
You have enough to worry about between wind, being on the right field, right chemical for the right crop, you are driving an oversize load at 3 o'clock in the morning.
The last thing I need to worry about is did I get it right.

Stimulus dollars at work
With the support of this $1 million National Leadership Grant, Poets House will partner with five zoos and four public libraries to create poetry installations and programs... …collaborating with wildlife biologists and exhibit designers to curate zoo installations with poems that celebrate the natural world and the connection between species.
I the GKC poem below would be a worthy entry that shows that species are only connected in the physical, like comparative religion. ".. it is so much a matter of degree and distance and difference that it is only comparatively successful when it tries to compare. When we come to look at it closely we find it comparing things that are really quite incomparable."
Triolet Poem
I wish I were a jelly fish
That cannot fall downstairs;
Of all the things I wish to wish
I wish I were a jellyfish
That hasn't any cares
And doesn't even have to wish'
That cannot fall downstairs.'

Earth Day Predictions, 1970
"The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age."
Kenneth Watt, Ecologist
"We have about five more years at the outside to do something."
"Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind."
George Wald, Harvard Biologist
"We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation."
Barry Commoner, Washington University biologist
"Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction."
New York Times editorial, the day after the first Earth Day
"Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years."
Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist
"By...[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s."
"It is already too late to avoid mass starvation."
Denis Hayes, chief organizer for Earth Day
"Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions....By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine."
Peter Gunter, professor, North Texas State University
"Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support...the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution...by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half...."
Life Magazine, January 1970
"At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it's only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable."
"Air pollution...is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone."
"By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate...that there won't be any more crude oil. You'll drive up to the pump and say, `Fill 'er up, buddy,' and he'll say, `I am very sorry, there isn't any.'"
"Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct."

Tax Day - Oh Joy
"A citizen can hardly distinguish between a tax and a fine, except that the fine is generally much lighter." G.K.C.
T. Coleman Andrews was an IRS Commissioner for 3 years. He had the following things to say about income taxes after resigning.
"Congress went beyond merely enacting an income tax law and repealed Article IV of the Bill of Rights, by empowering the tax collector to do the very things from which that article says we were to be secure. It opened up our homes, our papers and our effects to the prying eyes of government agents and set the stage for searches of our books and vaults and for inquiries into our private affairs whenever the tax men might decide, even though there might not be any justification beyond mere cynical suspicion."
"The income tax is bad because it has robbed you and me of the guarantee of privacy and the respect for our property that were given to us in Article IV of the Bill of Rights. This invasion is absolute and complete as far as the amount of tax that can be assessed is concerned. Please remember that under the Sixteenth Amendment, Congress can take 100% of our income anytime it wants to. As a matter of fact, right now it is imposing a tax as high as 91%. This is downright confiscation and cannot be defended on any other grounds."
"The income tax is bad because it was conceived in class hatred, is an instrument of vengeance and plays right into the hands of the communists. It employs the vicious communist principle of taking from each according to his accumulation of the fruits of his labor and giving to others according to their needs, regardless of whether those needs are the result of indolence or lack of pride, self-respect, personal dignity or other attributes of men."
"The income tax is fulfilling the Marxist prophecy that the surest way to destroy a capitalist society is by steeply graduated taxes on income and heavy levies upon the estates of people when they die."
"As matters now stand, if our children make the most of their capabilities and training, they will have to give most of it to the tax collector and so become slaves of the government. People cannot pull themselves up by the bootstraps anymore because the tax collector gets the boots and the straps as well."
"The income tax is bad because it is oppressive to all and discriminates particularly against those people who prove themselves most adept at keeping the wheels of business turning and creating maximum employment and a high standard of living for their fellow men."
"I believe that a better way to raise revenue not only can be found but must be found because I am convinced that the present system is leading us right back to the very tyranny from which those, who established this land of freedom, risked their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to forever free themselves..."
When the culture of death meets "I don't think so".
Dr. Boris Veysman is my new hero.
"Life is precious and irreplaceable. Even severe incurable illness can often be temporarily fixed, moderated, or controlled, and most discomfort can be made tolerable or even pleasant with simple drugs. In chess, to resign is to give up the game with pieces and options remaining. My version of DNR is "Do Not Resign." Don't give up on me if I can still think, communicate, create, and enjoy life. When taking care of me, take care of yourself as well, to make sure you don't burn out by the time I need your optimism the most.
My DNI? It means "Do Not Ignore" early signs of trouble when my failing body and mind need support so I can continue to function in ways that matter. And Do Not Ignore my needs for companionship, stimulation, and purpose, as these, too, make life worth living. To leave me in the hospital bed alone staring at the TV is torture. (My overarching orders at all times: "Do Not Torture.") Surround me with people; bring the kids so I can teach and talk to them. Discuss the news with me. Let me use my e-mail. Treat my depression, dehydration, malnutrition, muscle wasting, and pain with potent pills, infusions, tubes, and hormones. I don't aspire to play for the Yankees, so throw in some anabolic steroids if that might contribute to wellness. I choose high-quality life, and I agree to chance adverse effects in doing so. …
It's so easy to let someone die, but it takes effort, determination, and stamina to help someone stay and feel alive. Only after you made every effort to let me be happy and human, ask me again if my life is worth living. Then, listen, and comply. At that point, if I wish to die, let me die. But until that happens, none of us realize what I can accomplish with another day, another week, another month. So do it all for me. Then ask someone to do it all for you."

(NEW YORK – C-FAM) In London last Friday, a high ranking United Nations (UN) jurist called on the British government to detain Pope Benedict XVI during his upcoming visit to Britain, and send him to trial in the International Criminal Court (ICC) for "crimes against humanity."
like Chesterton said this sound is recognizable it is "a hiss out of hell."
Mark has a good answer
why not try it at home
"There was a time when you and I and all of us were all very close to God; so that even now the color of a pebble (or a paint), the smell of a flower (or a firework), comes to our hearts with a kind of authority and certainty; as if they were fragments of a muddled message, or features of a forgotten face. To pour that fiery simplicity upon the whole of life is the only real aim of education; and closest to the child comes the woman --- she understands. To say what she understands is beyond me; save only this, that it is not a solemnity. Rather it is a towering levity, an uproarious amateurishness of the universe, such as we felt when we were little, and would as soon sing as garden, as soon paint as run. To smatter the tongues of men and angels, to dabble in the dreadful sciences, to juggle with pillars and pyramids and toss up the planets like balls, this is that inner audacity and indifference which the human soul, like a conjurer catching oranges, must keep up forever. This is that insanely frivolous thing we call sanity. ... "
GKC What's Wrong With The World
When my children were little we would always attend Easter Mass at the Cathedral , which is a great place to be on any given Sunday but at Easter you get all the smells and bells. Since the majority of my children have grown and started families of their own this tradition has faded.
This year my bride suggested we start going again. I was not sure if it was for our littlest one or she was being nostalgic but it did not matter. I missed the Cathedral too.
Once you enter the Cathedral, even after a long absence, it is as if you were never away. There is a joyous wonder in its sameness. Its sameness comes from the dynamic position of always being where the past and the potential of the future meet in the envelope of the present.
As you walk in and someone unseen would be wailing on the large pipe organ and when the horn section enters in you could feel your sternum vibrate. The choir is angelic. The building is beautiful in fulfilling the prophesy, "If These Were Silent, the Stones Would Cry Out", all this before the procession had begun.
As the procession past us I began to take a closer notice of the throng of the faithful before me. I felt something was different then from what I remember and honestly I missed the opening prayers trying to figure it out. Before the first reading it dawned on me – there were no ladies in hats. Those marvelously large pastel colored hats were gone - not one Easter hat. In the past as you focused on the alter it was through a sea of big brimmed soft flowing hats acting as flowers turning toward the morning sun. Now everywhere not only were there no hats there were very few ties, little finery, only a few children in new outfits. Our pew was the exception where as in the past I would sometimes feel we looked a little ragged.
I am not one to wear a tie much and I keep my sport coat in a bag until Christmas and Easter my wife never wore a hat but many did. But EASTER that was the time when dads wore suits, mom's bought you new outfits and your one pair of new shoes for the year were bought at Easter. It all added another layer to the day we were all, in a way, "resurrected" from winter to the new life of spring.
We wore our best on the best day. Now, how is anyone to know that this day is above all other days, when all they see are jeans and polos?
A word from Pope John Paul II
Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.
- Pope John Paul II
(I don't think GKC would mind a Pope being cited on this day!)
Good Film For Good Friday
Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.
Speaking of Judas
Judas has appeared in all the Church readings this past week. In dramatic terms this is because he is the pivotal character in the passion, it is his decision on which all else turns. Even though we know how this story ends we keep hoping Judas will have a change of heart.
It is fascinating to me that at this time pope Ben is being assaulted on all sides by the priest sex scandals throughout Europe. Judas' are popping up all over (in and outside the church) saying everything from the pope should resign to the pope needs to change his mind on priest celibacy and sexual "freedom", (ho-hum).
Archbishop Timothy Dolan says Pope Benedict XVI, is suffering "some of the same unjust accusations, shouts of the mob, and scourging at the pillar as did Jesus"!
It is important to remember that after the first Judas the other disciples did not say, "We need to change the teaching of the Lord so we won't have another Judas incident".
It won't be said now. And it will not lessen the pain.
The Judas type will be with us always. Salvation history is filled with God's people falling away and coming back. The "What could it hurt" to the "How were we to know" syndrome.
The difference between Peter and Judas is that Peter asked for forgiveness.
The question, as always, are we going to leave Peter because of Judas?
"But the best example of this unjust historical habit is the most famous of all and the most infamous of all. If there is one proper noun which has become a common noun, if there is one name which has been generalized till it means a thing, it is certainly the name of Judas. We should hesitate perhaps to call it a Christian name, except in the more evasive form of Jude. And even that, as the name of a more faithful apostle, is another illustration of the same injustice; for, by comparison with the other, Jude the faithful might almost be called Jude the obscure. The critic who said, whether innocently or ironically, "What wicked men these early Christians were!" was certainly more successful in innocence than in irony; for he seems to have been innocent or ignorant of the whole idea of the Christian communion. Judas Iscariot was one of the very earliest of all possible early Christians. And the whole point about him was that his hand was in the same dish; the traitor is always a friend, or he could never be a foe. But the point for the moment is merely that the name is known everywhere merely as the name of a traitor. The name of Judas nearly always means Judas Iscariot; it hardly ever means Judas Maccabeus. And if you shout out "Judas" to a politician in the thick of a political tumult, you will have some difficulty in soothing him afterwards, with the assurance that you had merely traced in him something of that splendid zeal and valour which dragged down the tyranny of Antiochus, in the day of the great deliverance of Israel."

Disciplinary action against any employee convicted of a drug offense within the University community must commence within 30 days after receipt of notice of the conviction. The University may, at any time initiate its own disciplinary proceedings against a student, faculty member, administrator or other employee when the alleged conduct (either on-campus or off-campus) is deemed to affect the interests of the University.
Penalties will be imposed for violation of the policies of Appalachian State University in accordance with procedural safeguards applicable to disciplinary actions against students, faculty members, administrators and other employees, respectively.
Faculty members who violate the University's policy on the illegal or abusive use of alcohol and other drugs will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with personnel policies outlined in the Appalachian State University Faculty Handbook.
EHRA administrative personnel who violate the University's policy on the illegal or abusive use of alcohol and other drugs will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with personnel policies outlined in the Appalachian State University EHRA Administrative Personnel Handbook.
Staff employees who violate the University's policy on the illegal or abusive use of alcohol and other drugs will be subject to disciplinary action described in Policy 602.3 Employee Abuse of Alcohol and Other Drugs.
Students who violate the University's policy on the illegal or abusive use of alcohol and other drugs will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the provisions stated in the Appalachian State University Code of Student Conduct.
The illegal or abusive use of drugs and alcohol by members of the academic community may subject them to criminal prosecution by governmental agencies in addition to disciplinary action by the University. Status as a student or employee of the University in no way insulates an individual from criminal prosecution and punishment. The constitutional concept of "double jeopardy" does not prevent state and/or federal prosecution and University punishment for conduct that violates state, federal or foreign law and University policy.
Alcohol - Local laws and ordinances and University regulations are preempted by state laws regarding regulation of alcoholic beverages.
Drugs - Local laws and ordinances and University regulations are preempted by state laws regarding regulation of drugs.
The possession and use of alcohol on the campus of Appalachian State University must comply with the laws of the State of North Carolina and with campus regulations and procedures. The acquisition, possession, transportation and consumption of alcohol by anyone under 21 years of age is prohibited.
Alcohol may be possessed or consumed on University property only by persons 21 years of age or older in their rooms or in appropriately licensed and/or approved campus facilities. Persons are expected to assume responsibility for their own behavior while drinking and must understand that being under the influence of alcohol in no way lessens their accountability to the University community. Offenders will be dealt with through established University policies and procedures.
The following minimum penalties shall be imposed for the particular offenses described:
For the illegal manufacture, sale or delivery, or possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver, of any drugs identified in North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 90, Article 5 (North Carolina Controlled Substances Act) or similar relevant provisions of federal or foreign law, any student may be suspended and any faculty member, administrator or other employee may be discharged.
For a second offense, any student may be expelled and any faculty member or EHRA administrative employee shall be discharged.
For a first offense involving the illegal possession of any drug identified in North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 90, Article 5 (North Carolina Controlled Substances Act), or similar relevant provisions of federal or foreign law, the minimum penalty shall be probation, for a period to be determined on a case-by-case basis. A person on probation must agree to participate in a drug education and counseling program, consent to regular drug testing, and accept such other conditions and restrictions, including a program of community service, as the Chancellor or the Chancellor's designee deems appropriate. Refusal or failure to abide by the terms of probation shall result in suspension from enrollment or from employment for any unexpired balance of the prescribed period of probation.
For second or other subsequent offenses involving the illegal possession of controlled substances, progressively more severe penalties shall be imposed, including suspension of students and discharge of faculty members, administrators or other employees.
When a student, faculty member, administrator, or other employee has been charged by the University with a violation of policies concerning illegal drugs, he or she may be suspended from enrollment or employment before initiation or completion of regular disciplinary proceedings if, assuming the truth of the charges, the Chancellor or the Chancellor's designee concludes that the person's continued presence within the University community would constitute a clear and immediate danger to the health or welfare of other members of the University community; provided, that if such a suspension is imposed, an appropriate hearing of the charges against the suspended person shall be held as promptly as possible thereafter.
Annually, the Chancellor will submit to the Board of Trustees a report that will include information about drug education/prevention programs and incidents related to the illegal or abusive use of drugs during the preceding year, an assessment of the effectiveness of the program, and any policy changes. A copy of the report shall be provided to the President, who shall confer with the Chancellor about the effectiveness of the campus programs.
The Chancellor will, in accordance with the requirements of the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, notify federal granting or contract agencies within 10 days after receiving notice that an employee directly engaged in the grant or contracting work has been convicted of a drug offense in the University community.

The Receiver, formally called The Receiver for the Metropolitan Police District (and sometimes referred to early in the post's existence as the Receiver-General), was until 2000 the chief financial officer of the Metropolitan Police in London, the Treasurer of the Metropolitan Police Fund. He was always a civilian, not a police officer.

The Receiver's title came from the fact that his original role was to 'receive' money raised from the rates of the Metropolitan Police District's parishes.

The Receiver was appointed by the Crown. All the property of the Metropolitan Police was technically owned by the holder of the post of Receiver, who had the legal status of a corporation sole. All contracts were made in his name and all purchases, sales and contracts required his approval. He had equal status with the Commissioners. This had the advantage that the police, holding no property themselves, were protected from accusations of corruption. In 1839, the Receiver also became responsible for the administration of the police courts.

The system started to break down after the retirement of the first Receiver, John Wray, in 1860. Wray had worked well with the Commissioners, but his successors had increasingly bad relations with them, despite the Metropolitan Police Act 1861 further codifying the role of Receiver. This came to a head under Commissioner Sir Charles Warren, a soldier who was accustomed to exercising full authority, and intensely disliked having to clear every decision with a bureaucrat who had equal standing to himself. Conflict continued sporadically until 1968, when it was finally decided to make the Receiver and the Receiver's Department subordinate to the Commissioner. From then on, the Receiver was considered equal in rank to the Deputy Commissioner.

By the end of the 20th century, the Receiver also held the title of Director of Finance and had become responsible for the Finance, Property Services, and Technology Departments of the force. With the consent of the Home Secretary, he could issue precepts on the local authorities within the Metropolitan Police District in order to finance the force. He also had responsibility for the finance, and some other services, of the Inner London Magistrates' Court Service and the Inner London Probation Service.

In July 2000, with the introduction of the Metropolitan Police Authority and the removal of responsibility for the Metropolitan Police from the Home Secretary, the post of Receiver was abolished and replaced with a Director of Resources. Keith Luck was the first person to hold the new post, from 2000 to 2006. The Director of Resources from June 2007 has been Anne McMeel.

Formula E has unveiled the track layout for its inaugural race in Rome, which will host one of the longest laps in the series' history.
The 21-turn circuit will be the second-longest of the season at 1.77 miles, shorter only than Marrakech.
Laps of Beijing and Battersea Park were both longer, but have not been used since the 2015/16 season.
As revealed by Motorsport.com earlier this year, the track is based in the Esposizione Universale Roma (EUR) district.
It begins on the Via Cristoforo Colombo – the longest district road in Italy – and its backdrops include the Obelisco di Marconi, a marble-concrete structure built as part of the city's hosting of the 1960 Olympic Games.
FE's three champions Nelson Piquet Jr, Sebastien Buemi and Lucas di Grassi were joined by NIO's new Italian signing Luca Filippi to drive in formation through the city to officially unveil the April 14 race.
FE CEO Alejandro Agag was joined at the launch event by major of Rome Virginia Raggi, Automobile Club d'Italia president Angelo Sticchi Damiani and EUR SpA chairman Roberto Diacetti.
The EUR district, now a significant residential and business hub, was chosen by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini to celebrate fascism in the 1940s.
Although the idea of the 'world fair' was never realised, it did trigger the design and construction of the Colosseo Quadrato, a building symbolic of fascist architecture, which will be a backdrop to the FE circuit.

Edvard Asser Salo (Russian Ассер Эдуардович Сало, Asser Eduardovich Salo; 22 February 1902, in Laukaa, Grand Duchy of Finland – 11 February 1938, in Karelian ASSR, Soviet Union) was a Finnish lawyer and politician. He was a member of the Parliament of Finland from 1929 to 1930, representing the Socialist Electoral Organisation of Workers and Smallholders (STPV).

On 4 June 1930, he was kidnapped in Vaasa by activists of the anti-communist Lapua Movement, who forced him under threat for his life to make a public promise to never again engage in communist activities on the territory of Vaasa Province. Soon thereafter he went into exile, first to Sweden, then to the Soviet Union, where he worked at first as a lecturer at the International Lenin School in Moscow. He worked in administrative functions in Leningrad from 1935 to 1936 and in the Karelian ASSR from 1936 until 18 August 1937, when he was dismissed.

As one of the victims of the Great Purge, he was arrested by the NKVD, sentenced to death and shot on 11 February 1938.

Losing The Battle For Young Minds In Afghanistan
By Haqmal Masoodzai
The graduation ceremony of 24 high-school women students in Paktia Province in 2010.
Underinvestment in secondary schooling is a growing security threat for the residents of Shwak, Wuza Zadran, and Gerda Seray.
Despite the millions poured into educational development by international donors, these three remote districts in restive Paktia Province have not produced a single high-school graduate in the past 14 years.
Paktia is known for its relatively high standard of education -- this year, it sent the third-highest number of students to state universities across the country. Currently, 15 religious madrasahs and 353 state schools operate in the province, according to data made available by the local Education Directorate. Out of these facilities, 98 are high schools. Nearly 200,000 pupils, including 60,000 girls, attend the schools.
But this progress has evaded pupils in Shwak, Wuza Zadran, and Gerda Seray, which have seen frequent school closures in response to "armed insurgents who threaten families if they send their children to school," says Education Directorate head Shahabudin Mohad.
The districts are home to the Zadran tribe and known as a haven for the Haqqani network, one of the more than dozen insurgent groups active along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Traversed by mountain ranges, the districts face a dearth of clean water and health facilities and have high unemployment rates. Local residents earn a meager living by producing lumber and picking pine nuts. Many become migrant laborers in Persian Gulf countries, sending remittances to their families back in Paktia.
"We have tried several times to send professional teachers to these districts, but because of the hardship of life there, the teachers were unwilling to go and threatened to resign if pushed," Mohad says.
But local teachers and residents say security in the troubled districts has recently improved. They say widespread corruption in the provincial Education Directorate is the main reason for the underdevelopment.
"There are no teachers in these districts. The salaries allocated for them go into private pockets," says Wuza Zadran resident Amanullah Khan Zadran, who served as border and tribal affairs minister during Hamid Karzai's presidency.
Last year, local media reported the disappearance of nearly $300,000 in education funding, but the provincial government rejected allegations of misuse. Mohad, who took over the directorate five months ago, says he has devised a plan to improve conditions in the three districts.
"If things continue in this fashion, then in the future the people of this area could become a big headache for the government," warns Niaz Mir, one of thousands of Wuza Zadra residents whose children are growing up without an education.


The Mothers by Jennifer Gilmore is a novel about the experience of pursuing domestic adoption. The would-be parents, Jesse and Ramon, are late thirtysomethings who have struggled with cancer and infertility and are now pinning their hopes for becoming parents on the birthmothers who might select them as adoptive parents for their unborn babies. The novel follows the emotional rollercoaster of applying, waiting, and responding to calls from birthmothers – some legit and some not even real – while trying to keep their hopes in check.
This is a book about the longing for parenthood, especially motherhood. Jesse's innate desire to be a mom, while so many around her flaunt their swollen bellies and wriggling toddlers, is very poignant. Anyone who has undergone infertility will be able to relate to her feelings of loss, jealousy and bitterness. While some reviews have criticized Jesse for being whiny and unlikeable, I thought Jesse was a pretty realistic portrayal of a woman in her position. It's hard to be happy for others when everyone else seems to have what you want, and can't get.
It's also a book about motherhood in general, told through the depiction of Jesse's own mother (absentee through her childhood), mother-in-law (suffocating and focused solely on her son) and other women (friends, sister, birthmothers, would-be parents) she comes in contact with. "The Mothers" of the title are these recurring women. Jesse is fixated on what it means to be a mother, and on the type of mother she wants to be, especially as compared to the others she knows.
Some reviews have also criticized The Mothers as being more of a memoir than a novel, and for ending abruptly when Jesse and Ramon reached a turning point in their adoption journey. Both are fair points. As a story, it is compelling and addictive (you want to know whether they will get their happy ending), but it is sort of relentless and ultimately unsatisfying given its premature end. Gilmore is a good writer, but doesn't always get past the "then this happened, then this happened" format of the book.
I think you probably know by now whether The Mothers is for you or not. If the topic interests you, you'll probably enjoy this book in spite of its flaws. If you can't see reading a whole book about domestic adoption, then take a pass. I fall into the former camp, and liked this one quite a bit.

Q: Functors and vector of strings I'm new to functors theme, so I hope this question will be constructive.
I have array of strings (). I need to calculate the sum of lenghts of these strings with help of functors.
My code:
class LengthFinder{
    private:
        size_t sum;
    public:
        LengthFinder():sum(0){}

    void operator()(string elem)
    {
        sum += elem.size();
    }
    operator int()
    {
        return sum;
    }

};

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    vector< string > array;
    array.push_back("string");
    array.push_back("string1");
    array.push_back("string11");

    string elem;
    int sum = std::for_each(array.begin(), array.end(), LengthFinder(/*??*/));
    return 0;
}

What should I pass to LengthFinder(), to get each string and take it size?

A: Don't use for_each for this. It can be forced to do the job, but it's a fair amount of extra work because it's not really the right tool for the job.
What you want to use is std::accumulate, which is built for exactly the sort of thing you're doing.
struct length : std::binary_function<size_t, size_t, std::string> {
    size_t operator()(size_t a, std::string const &b) {
        return a+b.length();
    }
};

// ...
int sum = std::accumulate(array.begin(), array.end(), 0, length());

A: As stated by the original poster of the question:

SOLUTION:
Nothing should go to the parameters of LengthFinder:
 int sum = std::for_each(array.begin(), array.end(), LengthFinder());

School District 197 implements new curriculum that discusses gender identity and transgender issues with elementary students
School District 197 - Minnesota
On June 7, 2022, Alpha News reported that School District 197 in Minnesota "is adding an 'anti-bias' curriculum to its pre-K through fourth-grade classes." The lessons in this curriculum will feature material on the topics of "gender identity and expression." The news outlet further reported that "during a May 16 school board meeting, Director of Curriculum Cari Jo Drewitz gave a presentation on what teachers and students can expect from the curriculum." The presentation delivered at the meeting is posted on the school district's website and provides the following statement regarding the new direction of the school district's curriculum:
Based on the feedback from staff, our strategic framework and the recommendations of our equity audit, to systematically include conversations about race, racism, equity, inequity, etc in the curriculum starting in elementary school, we have decided to begin implementing the AMAZEworks resources in our PreK through 4th grade classrooms.
The curriculum is part of a partnership with the organization "AMAZEworks." The presentation is titled "AMAZEworks Anti-Bias Curriculum Implementation." The presentation appears to make the argument that teachers should focus on the identities of students in lessons. Identities listed as examples include "race/ethnicity," "religion/faith," "gender," "gender identity," and "sexual orientation." The presentation then provides another list of identity examples that includes "ability/neurodiversity," "American Indian," "Diverse Family Structures," "Gender Diversity," and "Racial Identity/Racism."
The presentation additionally provides books on "gender identity and expression" to read to children in kindergarten, second grade, and fourth grade. The book presented for kindergarten students is titled Jacob's New Dress. The book is about a young boy who wants to wear a dress to school. Some of the following questions are then provided to the kindergarten students for a discussion:
Some people reacted pretty strongly when Jacob was wearing a dress. (Christopher told him he should wear something different; the teacher thought maybe he should pretend to be something different; his mom was quiet, and his dad said, "Well, it's not what I would wear.") Why do you think they reacted in these ways?
Has anyone ever told you that you shouldn't play something or wear something because of something about you, like being a boy or girl or how you look or sound? How did that feel? How did you respond?
Some people helped Jacob when he was told he shouldn't wear a dress. Who helped Jacob? (Emily, his mom, and Jacob himself) How did they help?
The book presented for second grade students is titled When Aidan Became a Brother. The book is about a young girl who transitions to being a boy and the child's parents having another baby. Some of the following questions are then provided to the second grade students for a discussion:
How did Aidan and his parents know he was really a boy? What did Aidan's parents do after they realized this?
What preparations did Aidan and his parents make in order to make sure they didn't misgender the baby and they could grow up to be whoever they are?
How does Aidan advocate for himself and his identity? How do Aidan's parents do this, too?
The book presented for fourth grade students is titled It Feels Good to Be Yourself. The book teaches children that "gender is personal" and that they can choose their own gender different from their birth. Some of the following questions are then provided to the fourth grade students for a discussion:
What does it mean to be cisgender? Transgender? Non-binary? Both a boy and a girl? Neither a boy nor a girl?
Have there been times when people confused your racial or ethnic identity (or perhaps another part of your identity like ability or age) for another? How did you feel when that happened? How do you think people who are not cisgender feel when others call them by the incorrect gender pronoun?
How might someone feel when they realize the adults guessed their gender wrong as a baby?
What's a respectful way to ask another person about their gender pronouns? What if you or someone else makes a mistake in identifying your or someone else's gender and accidentally uses incorrect pronouns. What can you do?
The presentation explains that there will be a "three year opt-in implementation as a Training Academy course" for teachers during the 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025 school years. Teachers will be paid a "$700 stipend" to complete the training course and an additional $700 for completing an "Action Research project." The teachers who participate in this training will "receive the curriculum materials for their classroom." Teachers who choose not to opt in will still "receive the materials and training will happen during the school day during the 2024-2025 school year."

Alpha News also provided a statement from the school district's spokesperson explaining that "School District 197 has partnered with AMAZEworks." The spokesperson reportedly provided the following statement:
School District 197 has partnered with AMAZEworks to implement an anti-bias curriculum to align with the district's strategic framework. AMAZEworks's programs combine children's literature and skill-building exercises to increase a sense of belonging for all students and spark age-appropriate discussions about difference.
AMAZEworks is an organization known for promoting "PRIDE resources" to children as young as toddlers on its website. In a document titled "Understanding Gender Diversity," the organization provides caregivers with lessons to help "guide conversations with children on gender diversity, including gender identity and expression." The lessons include books like My Princess Boy and When Aidan Became a Brother. AMAZEworks describes My Princess Boy as a story "about a little boy who loves the color pink, sparkly things, and being a princess." The organization describes When Aidan Became a Brother as about a girl who transitioned to being a boy. Both books are aimed at children as young as 4 years old.
AMAZEworks promotes "Pride Resources" for children as young as 3 years old.

We love families. It was actually newborn and family photography that we first specialized in when we started the studio in 2002. Since then it's grown to include all sorts of photography.
Our sessions are relaxed and fun and over before you know it! Our style is not fussy – things just come out better that way.
Most of our family shoots occur on location, in fact most of our photography is on location these days, as is the trend. We'll go wherever you want us to!

Aster, Erin, Kate and Emily swam first in the medium schools mixed freestyle relay heats, narrowly missing the 'A' finals by one tenth of a second. However, they were through to the 'B' final and earned an impressive second place.
Next came the medium schools mixed medley relay. Aster swam backstroke, Followed by Alicia swimming breast stroke, then Kate doing butterfly and finally Emily finishing with front crawl. Again, narrowly missing 'A' finals meant they were in a comfortable position in the 'B' finals in which they finished third place.
It was a proud day for swimmers, parents and teachers to be at such a prestigious event. The effort and commitment of the girls paid off to get through the heats and achieve a place in the finals.
On Wednesday, Years 3 and 4 swim teams competed against Birkenhead in an all-girls gala. Both teams put in superb performances, resulting in comfortable victories.
Year 3 won 28-12
The overall result including the Canon relay - 119 points to Queen's and 61 points to Birkenhead.
A really impressive result.
A group of U10 and U11 girls headed to Trafford Park for a fantastic day at AJIS athletics. The girls came home with lots of medals and managed to break three AJIS records. The results were:

A busy run of events for Megan in Year 8 who competed at The Trafford AC Grand Prix in Manchester. These events are always very competitive and attract many of the top runners from the North of England. Megan did really well in the Under 15 mixed boys and girls event with over 40 runners, achieving a new 800m PB time which was well inside the National Ranking qualification time for the event.
Megan and her teammates from West Cheshire AC also recently competed in the 3x 800m U15 Girls 'Cheshire Athletics County Relay Championships' in Crewe. After great performances from all three girls they came away with third place and the bronze medal in another competitive field of 16 teams from across the county.

Year 6 (above) played Birkenhead High School - after the first innings the score was very close with Queen's having 6 1/2 rounders and Birkenhead having 8 1/2 rounders. The second innings really saw Queen's come to life and the team managed to get all of the Birkenhead girls out by the 12th ball. The final score was 12 1/2 rounders for Queen's to 9 1/2 rounders for Birkenhead. A fantastic performance from all the girls.
Three great wins for our U15 doubles teams against Moreton Hall.
Year 7 played a number of games at King's with some great rallies for some of the girls' first ever tennis matches!
Leah in Year 8 rode at the Cheshire Show in the Pony Club Hunt Relay representing the Cheshire Hunt South Pony Club. Her team won their first round, had the fastest time of the day in the semi finals and were just pipped in the final in a very close race, but they were delighted with their 2nd place. Well done Leah!

'It was a misunderstanding,' says Gacayan
By Bryan Manabat - bryan@mvariety.com - Variety News Staff
"IT was a misunderstanding," JAG Construction owner Juan A. Gacayan, told Variety, referring to the ongoing litigation over his deceased former employee's bank account.
Asked to elaborate, he said he was advised by his lawyer, Joey P. San Nicolas, not to make statements to the media.
Eduardo Ocampo David, 60, an electrician who hailed from Pampanga, the Philippines, died on Oct. 15, 2018 after over a week in the intensive care unit of the Commonwealth Health Center following a heart attack. He was not married and had no children. He started working on Saipan in the late 1980s. He left behind a Bank of Guam account containing $20,794.
Gacayan, after petitioning the court, was appointed as David's estate administrator on Dec. 20, 2018.
David's siblings in the Philippines have retained a local attorney, Charity R. Hodson, to represent them in the probate. Hodson filed her appearance in Superior Court on Tuesday.
David's siblings are Maria Gina O. David-Cuenco, Monalisa Ocampo David, Marlene Ocampo David, Avelino Ocampo David Jr., Elizabeth Ocampo David-Sta. Ana, and Olivia Ocampo David.
Joey Patrick San Nicolas
Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho has ordered Gacayan to explain how a non-family individual can inherit money from a decedent without a will. The hearing will be held today, Thursday, at 9 a.m.
San Nicolas moved for a postponement of the hearing, but the judge denied it.
Variety was told that JAG Construction is still paying David's hospital bills, which have racked up over $200,000.
A nephew of the decedent, Ian David, said they gave Gacayan special power of attorney in late 2018 because the employer said "he was going to pay the hospital bill and transport the remains of Uncle Eddie."
Ian David said Gacayan's daughter was directly communicating with them, but it stopped after she obtained the authorization from Eduardo David's siblings in the Philippines.
