Hold Erdogan and His Guards Accountable for Attacking Peaceful DC Protesters
On Tuesday, May 16th, in an appalling display of brute force, Kurdish and Armenian peaceful protesters were attacked outside the Turkish Embassy in Washington, DC. It was a very small protest, only 14 people. Some were members of the Armenian National Committee of America and supporters of the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP). They were protesting President Erdogan's repression of the Kurdish and Armenian communities and his crackdown on internal dissent, including journalists. It was remarkable to watch that very same thuggish behavior right on the streets of Washington DC.
The attackers were securing for the Turkish Embassy, and then the president's own bodyguards joined in. A careful examination of the video footage shows that Erdogan, who remained in his car watching the melee, actually ordered his guards to join the attack. Video footage also shows the appalling scene of peaceful protesters being punched and kicked by the suited men as local DC police, obviously unprepared, tried to quell the violence but failed to arrest most of the attackers. One protester was arrested; nine were injured and had to be transported to a hospital. Of the attackers, one was arrested and the two others, members of Erdogan's team, were arrested but then skipped out and left the country.
After watching the footage, an angry Senator John McCain called for the Turkish ambassador to be removed and for the individuals who "performed these unlawful acts of beating people up" to be identified and charged. His anger did not go unheard, because Ambassador John Bass has been summoned back to Ankara, Turkey, but the damaged to freedom of speech has been done. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser blasted the violent attack as "an affront to DC values and our rights as Americans" and called for an investigation and justice to be served. People have taken Twitter by storm, demanding that Erdogan's bodyguards be fired and arrested.
It is appalling that such a blatant attack against nonviolent protesters and their first amendment rights took place in our nation's capital.
CODEPINK makes the following call:
The attackers must be held accountable for their actions. Diplomatic immunity should not be allowed to shield Erdogan's security forces.
We call for a review of the response by the DC police, as it appears that they let most of the attackers get away instead of arresting them. CODEPINK finds that all too often, the DC police fail to protect the rights of protesters, as during the yearly AIPAC conferences.
If the original protesters agree, CODEPINK would like to show solidarity and participate in a new, much larger protest at the Turkish Embassy to show our objection to the authoritarian Turkish government and to prove that here in our nation's capital, we--with the support of the police--are determined to exercise our first amendment rights.

Q: How to insert a vector notation in Keynote/Pages? This is different from an overbar. A vector can be any letter topped by a small arrow like so:

Is there a way to do this in Mac Keynote/Pages?

A: You can hunt for things like this in the [badly renamed] Emoji & Symbols [Character] viewer.
System Prefs > Keyboard > Keyboard & enable it in the Menu Bar; it will then be more easily accessible.
This type of mark is always going to be under 'Combining Diacriticals' though in this case it's even further down, in 'Combining Diacritical Marks for Symbols'
The trick to being able to see the whole list is to enable Unicode, which is less obvious than you'd think.
Top left there is a Settings button, which looks to be permanently greyed out. Click it, it works.

(This button is now a circle with an ellipsis in it rather than a gear in OS 12.3)
Unicode is way down the bottom, in Code Tables.
Once enabled, you can see it added to the list on the left.
Enabling it also then displays Unicode information under any selected character on the right.
You can also use the search, top right, for 'combining' which will find them.
In your case, the one you need is Unicode U+20D7
This, on it's own  ⃗
Entered after any letter it will combine above, as in A⃗ B⃗ C⃗ etc
Entering it as a one-off is simply done by double clicking the symbol in the Characters pane.
If it's something you're going to be using frequently, I'd be inclined to add it to your text replacements in System Prefs > Keyboard > Text,
I just tested it as a replacement for _> so typing A_> will generate A⃗
Italics/Bold can be done before or after the fact, same as any other text.
A⃗

A: If you're writing an equation, use Insert → Equation… (⌥⌘E). Here, you can insert LaTeX:

These equations can be display style or inline.

Clinical and Molecular Spectrum of Degenerative Cerebellar Ataxia: A Single Centre Study
Category: Scientific News
Written: Friday, August 5, 2022
Cerebellar ataxia is a disabling neurological symptom with extreme clinical and etiological heterogeneity. The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical and molecular characteristics in patients with degenerative cerebellar ataxia. 150 South-Indian patients with degenerative cerebellar ataxia underwent a phenotype guided, sequential tiered testing. Phenotypic features studied included cerebellar symptoms, pyramidal and extrapyramidal features, and ophthalmic and systemic findings. Tier one included conventional tests such as short PCR/fragment analysis for spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) subtypes 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 12, 17, and 36 and TP-PCR for Friedreich ataxia (FA). Tier two testing comprised next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based strategies reserved for select undiagnosed cases. The clinical features were highly overlapping and had limited specificity, except in autosomal recessive ataxias and SCA 34. The overall diagnostic yield of our study was 49.3%. SCA 1, 2, and 3 were noted in 13 (12.6%), 12 (11.6%) and 14 (13.5%), respectively, out of the 103 tested, and FA was noted in 17/55 (30.9%) patients. SCA subtypes 6, 7, 8, 12, 17, and 36 were absent in the cohort studied. Targeted Sanger sequencing and NGS revealed some rare diagnoses in 17 among the 18 patients tested. Whole exome sequencing uncovered a novel genotype-phenotype association in a sibling-pair with ataxia, dysmorphism, and retinopathy. SCA 1, 2, 3 and FRDA were the most common causes of ataxia. SCA 6, 7, 8, 12, 17, and 36 were absent in the cohort studied. NGS testing revealed several rare forms of ataxia. Clinical features based testing is cost-effective, achieves good genotype-phenotype correlation, and prioritizes variants for further studies.

Ever feel like the guy in that cartoon? I sure do! Every writer suffers from "writer's block" from time to time. For me, it takes a couple of forms, but I don't know which I hate most, frankly.Sometimes I have the idea and desire to communicate it, but simply cannot get the words to flow from my fingertips.How many times have you found yourself aimlessly tapping the keys hoping the rhythm might stimulate your fingers to type something cogent and meaningful? It happens to me more often than I care to admit.
At those times, I have to walk away from the computer for awhile. If I am at the office, I will probably stroll down the hallway in search of conversation with a colleague or two in order to forget about the project for a few minutes. At home, those are good times to start or fold a load of laundry, make a telephone call, practice my flute, watch a little t.v. or do some reading. If I resume work on the piece only to find after a few minutes that I'm still not making any progress, I switch gears again, taking a longer break. I have learned the hard way that I cannot will myself through such a creative block. And yes, this can be problematic if a deadline is looming.Tonight, as I surfed a number of blogs looking for inspiration for this post, I noted many instances of blog owners posting about the more common form of "writer's block," a lack of subject matter.
When people ask me why I left the private practice of law, I half-jokingly explain that I feared I would turn into a stereotypical lawyer trying to eke out a living who has never met a person who wasn't a potential client. Writing is much the same. Good writers seldom have a thought or life experience that isn't a potential idea for a poem, short story, novel, blog entry, . . .
In reality, I am exactly like that stereotypical lawyer when it comes to writing. Inspiration is really only in short supply if we aren't paying attention because everything that happens to us or we observe is a potential trigger. We simply have to remain observant, receptive, and flexible.
Inspiration might be lurking where we least expect to find it, as this post demonstrates. I was toying with a lot of other ideas for this weekly entry until I happened upon the aforementioned bloggers. I was astounded to find myself reading comments like "I have nothing to write about," "I can't think of anything to say," or "Nothing has happened for me to write about." I sure didn't expect to be motivated by those entries, but after stumbling upon so many of them, I found myself compelled to comment here.
Truthfully, those entries angered me because they evinced a lack of respect for my willingness to devote my time and energy to reading those folks' blogs. Needless to say, I did not bookmark those sites.
To be blunt, those writers are lazy. Good writing doesn't just happen — it requires a lot of hard work. So why do so many folks expect the inspiration for their writing to just happen serendipitously? Aside from those rare occasions when an idea practically falls out of the sky and onto the keyboard, finding inspiration for thoughtful writing often requries just as much, if not more, work as does the process of writing.
My experience this evening illustrates the point. You might be thinking, "Hey, you just stumbled onto an idea. You got lucky!" You're absolutely right. But in order to happen upon something that inspired me and sparked imagination, I had to be vigilant and receptive to ideas and revelations. My search for motivation was deliberate and concerted. Fortunately, my efforts paid off and I found the stimulation I was seeking.
Bear in mind, too, that ideas in their original form frequently are not reflective of the final product. In other words, we have to be willing to analyze, evaluate, and, as necessary, modify our writing as insights are revealed during the process of drafting, editing, and re-editing. Too often, we are inspired to write about a particular incident, event or person, but then get bogged down by our initial notion of how the final draft will read. How often have you heard a writer say that the finished piece was a surprise to him/her because, as he/she allowed the creative process to guide him/her, he/she was inspired to take the project in an entirely different direction than the one he/she originally envisioned? That kind of flexibility and fluidity is critical.
So where might you find inspiration for your writing if it seems to be eluding you? Well, I've already mentioned one gigantic source of ideas: Blogs. I am constantly amazed and awestruck by what I read in blogs.
An idea that, like a gene, can replicate and evolve.
A cultural unit (an idea or value or pattern of behavior) that is passed from one generation to another by nongenetic means (as by imitation); "memes are the cultural counterpart of genes".
There are many popular memes to which bloggers subscribe to receive a writing "prompt" every so often (daily, weekly, monthly). Check out The Daily Meme for a list. Some memes allow the writer to pick his/her own topic, with the expectation that a particular format will be followed and an entry posted at specific intervals. An example is Thursday Thirteen. Participants post a list of thirteen items built around a theme of his/her own choosing. Friday's Feast provides a list of questions to be answered, while Sunday Scribblings and Wordless Wednesday each provide a weekly one-word theme, as does Photo Hunters. Even if you don't want to participate fully, review the questions and themes to stimulate your inventiveness.
Examine some old or new family photos. Is there something about a family member — an experience they had, a characteristic or trait, unusual occupation, the way they motivated or inspired you — that you can either share with your readers or use as the springboard for a fictional story? Looking at photos of yourself taken some years ago might cause you to remember an incident, event . . . maybe an interesting neighbor or friend from somewhere you lived long ago. How have you changed over the years? What have you learned?
Look at your calendar or day planner. Did something happen at work, school or within a community organization to which you belong that you want to explore or assess via your writing?
Have you read a book, newspaper, magazine or journal article that contained an idea you want to expand upon or take issue with? Seen any movies or television shows lately? There are always plenty of storylines that can serve as the basis for a discussion of societal or civil issues, cultural trends, or a particular artists' performance or body of work.
There are many websites such as The Quotations Page that are repositories of quotes from famous folks. Click on the name of an author or topic and see if an excerpt arouses your interest.
As these few simple suggestions illustrate, the possibilities are literally infinite, limited only by your willingness to hear that "still, small voice" that awakens your interest in a particular topic and goads you into sitting down at the keyboard.
Keep an open mind and heart. You just never know where your next remarkable idea might be lurking.
I stopped to let you know that "Colloquium" was the Site Of the Moment on page 1 over in BLOG VILLAGE!
I have tapped aimlessly on the computer keyboard keys and piano keys "hoping the rhythm might stimulate my fingers"!
Thanks for letting me know about being featured!
Boy I can really relate.
