Canons & Contingence: Art Histories of the Book in England and America (RBS-Mellon Symposium)
Time: 8:30 a.m.–6:00 p.m.
Location: Integrative Learning Center, Room S240, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
Presented by: The Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship of Scholars in Critical Bibliography at Rare Book School; UMass Amherst Graduate School; UMass Amherst History of Art and Architecture Department; UMass Amherst College of Humanities and Fine Arts, Faculty Support Conference Grant; Mount Holyoke College Art History Department; Smith College, Office of the Provost and the Art Department; Amherst College Archives & Special Collections; Five College Lecture Fund
Recent scholarship in bibliography and the history of the book has attended to the ways in which bibliographic media resist, defy, and elude uniformity, even under the greatest technological pressures to conform. Whether through variables in the production process or through the vagaries of transmission and consumption, each manuscript or printed book carries with it the traces of a unique history. Yet bibliographers and historians of the book have long neglected the role of the visual in these histories, perceiving the pictorial as supplemental to the book, an import from some other medium. At the same time, the book itself has never featured in art history's triumvirate of media: painting, sculpture, and architecture. In the belief that the book itself is an important medium in the history of art, this symposium brings together scholars who explore how the visual and pictorial features of bibliographic media behave (and can be made to behave) in defiant ways.
As a spur to consider the visual activation of books' elusive behavior, this symposium convenes under the title, "Canons and Contingence." The term "canon" evokes thoughts of rigid standards, ideals of perfection, criteria for authenticity, and it seems to prioritize regulatory structures. Yet, within the study of the book, the "canon" allows for more difference than is generally realized, a difference encoded in its history. Since the fourth century invention of the Eusebian Canon Tables, which cross-reference and compare each of the four Gospels, the technology of the book has been one that physically facilitates the contingence of disparate materials. Far from flattening difference, the Canon Table was designed to foster comparison and bring difference to the fore. While canons, particularly literary canons, loom large over the history of the book, this event will showcase speakers whose work on the visual features of bibliographic media challenges the hegemonic nature of the canon. Whether it is through the dispersal of authorial agency, encouragement to reconsider notions and narratives expressed in word, revision of content for new audiences, the visual features and pictorial contents of bibliographic media are integral to the book's identity as a site that generates contingence.
Just as this event forges links between the fields of history, literature, and art history, its geographical focus unites transatlantic cultures by globalizing the study of medieval English and early modern North American materials. It brings together six scholars who work on a range of subjects within the transatlantic world in order to encourage discussion across disciplines and challenge the idea of canons.
See the event website for full schedule and registration information. The symposium is free and open to all.

ACLU Hails Decision by Mathews School Board to Shelve Student Drug Testing Policy
Under pressure from the ACLU of Virginia, Mathews County has scrapped plans for a novel but controversial drug testing program for high school students. Under the program, the school would offer rewards--such as free parking and admission to school events--for students who submit to drug testing. Those who refused to be tested would not qualify for the rewards.
Acting on recommendations from superintendent Harry Ward, the Mathews School Board decided Tuesday to delay the program. Ward told the Daily Press that his decision was the result of an inquiry from the ACLU, the possibility of a legal challenge, and advice from his attorneys. He also mentioned that the Supreme Court could soon be deciding a case that might give the school board guidance should it take up the drug testing policy again at a later date.
"On the surface, this looks like a voluntary drug testing program," said ACLU of Virginia executive director Kent Willis, "but in reality it is not. There would certainly be pressure-- from peers, parents, and school officials--for all students to submit to the drug tests.
"With a few exceptions, students have a constitutional right under the Fourth Amendment not to be subjected to drug tests. Under the proposed policy, a student who chooses to give up that constitutional right will receive a reward, but students who decide not to give up that right will not. Mathews is bribing students to sacrifice a constitutional right. How would any of us react if Congress passed a law giving tax-breaks to people who give up their right of free speech?
"The ACLU is also concerned that this policy sends a mixed message to students. Schools first teach students that our constitutional rights are essential to a free, democratic society, then they turn around and ask them to give up one of those constitutional rights.
"The ACLU does not object to truly voluntary testing programs where there is no pressure on students to participate. The ACLU also supports combating illegal drug use through treatment and educational programs."
Several years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld mandatory drug testing of public school students under limited conditions. First, the tests must be restricted to students who participate in an extracurricular activity. Second, there must be a history of drug abuse by students who have participated in that activity. In March, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case challenging the right of schools to demand drug tests for students involved in competitive extracurricular activities, even where there is no evidence of drug abuse.

Zimplats dairy project contributes 400k litres of milk annually
By Owen Mandovha
PARTNERSHIPS in the mining and agriculture sectors are bearing fruit, with at least 400 000 litres of milk being added annually to national production courtesy of the synergies.
The Mining and Agricultural Business Conference is a key event at the Zimbabwe Agricultural Show and this year it has underlined the important milestones from synergies between the two key sectors of the economy.
By promoting this relationship to blossom, the government has set itself on a pedestal to attain set targets.
"It is quite evident that the two industries are scaling great heights in terms of demonstrating a working relationship that has seen massive investment by mining companies in different agriculture projects. We cherish these initiatives, " said Honourable Vangelis Haritatos, the Deputy Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development.
"The partnership between mining firms and agricultural industry has progressed over the years and we have witnessed big projects being undertaken by mining companies which continue to grow agricultural output," said Dr Polite Kambamura, the Deputy Minister of Mines and Mining Development.
Platinum miner Zimplats has acted as if agriculture is its core mandate by undertaking transformative projects and its dairy project is producing at least 400 000 litres of milk annually.
"Mining has directed a significant amount of capital into agriculture and this has helped to transform the agriculture industry to meet the country's set goals," said Busi Chindove, Zimplats head of Corporate Affairs.
The symbiotic relationship showcased by key players in mining and agriculture at this year's conference is testimony that the private sector is determined to play its complementary role in growing the local economy.

How to Bet Week 16's Best NFL Games, Including Cowboys-Eagles and Packers-Vikings

By Evan Bleier @itishowitis
This is NFL Best Bets, a recurring series in which professional sports handicappers lend us their insights and picks for the most intriguing matchups for each week of the football season.
For this edition of Best Bets, Paul Bovi, a sports betting expert from VegasInsider.com who's been handicapping games for three decades, and Thomas Gable, the director of race and sportsbook at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, shared their opinions on five games on the NFL's slate of Week 16 matchups, including Sunday's winner-take-all NFC East showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles.
You've got places to go, people to see and possibly some wagers to make, so let's get to it.
10-4 Bills (+230, +6.5, O/U 36.5) at 11-3 Patriots
With only a single road loss this season, the Bills travel to New England at 6-1 in games away from Orchard Park. To improve on that record, their offense will have to put up some points against a Patriots defense that held Buffalo to just 10 points in their first meeting in late September. Winners of four out of their last five, the Bills have an outside shot of seizing the AFC East crown from the Patriots if they can win this Saturday matchup.
Bovi's take: "The Patriots are the likely top seed regardless of the outcome here as New England owns the superior record vs common opponents. Still, the Bills have the opportunity to host a wildcard game with a strong finish. The line hovers around a touchdown which is rich considering the Patriots' offensive woes this year, which were once again evident in their 34-13 win over the Bengals last week as they were actually out-gained. But, they were able to take full advantage of four interceptions from Andy Dalton. Feel like the Pats get the win, but with the pricey number, the preference is to the low side of the total."
Gable's take: "The Bill just pulled off a big win in a tough environment in Pittsburg and had four interceptions in that game, which was huge. They were also able to rush the ball against a pretty good Pittsburgh run defense with over 130 yards on the ground. That was a big test for them in Pittsburgh and they looked really good in that game. The Patriots on the other hand, their defense dominated the Bengals, but the offense still has not come alive. They had fewer than 300 total yards against a really bad defense. While the defense may be able to keep them in this game here with the Bills, the offensive struggles could really come back to bite the Patriots unless Brady can start making some big plays. Don't be surprised if you see some sort of a special teams or a defensive touchdown in this game as well. This is certainly a game to look at that prop to take advantage of."
Our Pick: Four of their last five games have been under 36.5. Go under.
11-3 Saints (-140, -3, O/U 50.5) at 8-6 Titans
The Saints roll into this game fresh off a beatdown of the Titans on Monday Night Football that saw Drew Brees set the NFL's all-time passing touchdown record. The Titans are currently on the outside of the playoffs looking in and could really use a win to help improve their postseason chances ahead of their season finale against the Houston Texans. New Orleans could also use a win to help their chances of locking up the No. 1 playoff seed in the NFC.
Bovi's take: "Last week, the Titans suffered a disappointing loss to the Texans 24-21. The Titans appeared poised to grab an early 7-0 lead however their receiver had the ball dislodged near the end zone and a Texans player was able to take it 90 yards the other way, leading to a score. Prior to that, they had missed a field goal. While both teams will play with desperation — the Saints to gain a first-round bye and the Titans to make the playoffs — I have to feel New Orleans is the more talented team here and will get the win."
Gable's take: "Though they could only muster 21 against the Texans last week, the Titans had looked really strong offensively in the prior four games and had scored over 31 points in every game. Ryan Tannehill was on a tear and still had a decent showing. But the Saints … Drew Brees just had an unbelievable game. Michael Thomas has looked incredible most every single week. The Saints defense is going to cause problems again I think. If the Texans defense caused issues for the Titans and slowed them down with the streak that they were having, I think the Saints defense is stronger and will probably keep them in check as well, but it's almost a must-win here for the Titans."
Our Pick: Look for both teams to pull out the stops and take the over.
12-2 Ravens (-500, -10, O/U 49) at 6-8 Browns
When these teams met for the first time earlier this year, the Browns actually had a convincing 40-25 win in Cleveland. Following that game, both teams were tied atop the AFC North at 2-2. Since then, the Ravens have gone undefeated while the Browns have lost six out of eight. With a win, Baltimore can clinch the top seed in the AFC and give themselves the option of resting players next week if they so choose.
Bovi's take: "Much has changed since the Browns hung 40 on the Ravens in a win earlier this season in what may have been quarterback Baker Mayfield's best performance of the season. At the time, the Ravens were without cornerback Jimmy Smith and have since added corner Marcus Peters in a trade with the Rams. Both will be in the lineup here. The Browns have lost several key defenders since then, by way of suspension, injury and, in one case, outright release due to a Twitter outburst. Laying 10 points on the road is rarely a sound strategy so we'll opt for the over here as the Ravens get the better of a higher-scoring affair."
Gable's take: "I don't even know if the Browns can remain competitive here. The Ravens are the odds-on favorites to win the Super Bowl. They're on pace to break the team rushing record for the NFL right now. They made defensive adjustments after that loss to the Browns at the beginning of the year and the unit has played a lot better. They know they need this game to clinch the No. 1 seed, so I don't think there's going to be any letup here this week. I just don't see the Browns being able to stick around here. If they can somehow win here, that would absolutely be the highlight of their year, beating the Ravens twice. This could be the second-to-last game that Freddie Kitchens coaches."
Our Pick: Ten points does seem very high. The over is the safer play.
7-7 Cowboys (-125, -1.5, O/U 46) at 7-7 Eagles
Though neither of these teams has really played well enough to deserve it, the winner of this game will represent the NFC East in the playoffs and actually host a first-round playoff game. On paper at least, the Cowboys project to be the much better team as they have a +90 point differential on the season compared to Philly's paltry +6. But, it's the Eagles, not the Cowboys, that have won two in a row and will be play host to this matchup.
Bovi's take: "After losing four of five, the Cowboys rose from the ashes in Week 15 while manhandling the Rams 44-21 in a game that was never competitive. Running backs Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliot combined for 248 yards rushing in the win. The Eagles got their second straight come-from-behind win over an inferior opponent as they defeated the Redskins 37-27 last week. Quarterback Carson Wentz connected with wide receiver Greg Ward Jr. as the clock ticked down to 26 seconds. Philly has been decimated on offense with injuries and will need a superior defensive effort here as they don't figure to do much scoring. While the Cowboys have superior talent, they have been unreliable from week to week. Side with the under."
Gable's take: "Last week was by far Dallas' most complete game and they looked dominant on both sides of the ball. Whereas the Eagles have played two lesser teams the last two weeks in the Giants and Redskins and both have been close games where they've had to come back and win in the fourth quarter. Carson Wentz has mostly played well and stepped up when they've needed it and they've had other guys step up as well. Miles Sanders has had a really good rookie season for them. Boston Scott emerged in that Giants game. They're going to need those guys. This game means everything for both teams."
Our Pick: Very, very nervously take the Cowboys and lay the points.
11-3 Packers (+195, +5, O/U 46) at 10-4 Vikings
Though the Packers won when these division rivals matched up in Week 2, it was actually just the first time in five games Green Bay emerged with a victory over Minnesota. The Vikings are the only team in the NFL with a perfect record at home this season (6-0) and can move into a tie with the Packers atop the NFC North with a win as well as improve their position in the conference's playoff field. With a win, Green Bay would lock up the division title, no small feat for a team that missed the playoffs last season.
Bovi's take: "The Packers have been struggling of late as they went all-out to hold on versus the Panthers, Redskins and Bears while they also suffered embarrassing losses to the Chargers and Niners. They are battling to gain a first-round bye here. While they own the tiebreaker over the Vikings, a win by Minnesota here would force the Packers to beat the Lions in Week 17 to claim the division. The Vikings come into this one off a blowout of the Chargers as LA gifted them with seven turnovers in the 39-10 win. Minnesota struggled on defense at times this year while the Packers give up plenty of yards on the ground. We'll call for a higher scoring game."
Gable's take: "This is one where I definitely think it's pointing towards a Vikings' victory. The Packers seem the same as the Seattle Seahawks: their records are outstanding but they're almost paper tigers when you look at what the point differential is in their wins. They play very close games and win them. They're not blowing anybody out. So at some point, they're going to regress and start losing these close games. I could see the Vikings taking care of business at home here. Minnesota is a tough place to play. I just feel this is going to be a tough spot here for the Packers to come away with a victory."
Our Pick: Tough cover for the Vikings. Look for primetime points with the over.
Last Week's Picks: 1-4, Season: 35-40
Editor's note: Lines fluctuate throughout the week based on injuries, weather reports and other factors. Make sure to double-check odds before betting.

One of the changes they mention is the elimination of buyer feedback, something that has been circulating for quite some time as an idea for online sellers.
Why are eBay considering this change in policy?
Feedback is the focal point of success if you are selling on eBay, helping sellers decide whom they trust with their business. However, there are certain things that are not favoured by eBay, like abusive language and feedback that isn't relevant to the transaction.
eBay also prefer that buyers do notuse Feedback in order to negatively impact seller performance ratings even when sellers have met satisfactory performance levels.
In cases where eBay think the feedback violates their policies, they will remove the entry altogether. Sellers are also able to report feedback that they think qualifies for removal.
See the guidelines on the type of feedback that may be removed.
Currently buyers can give sellers either a positive, neutral or negative feedback rating. Buyers can also leave anonymous Detailed Seller Ratings for sellers. Should this potential change to the feedback policy be put into action, how will this impact your business?
Are you for or against the +1 increment system, for example? Is this a positive idea, or is it change for the sake of change?
Have you been impacted by malicious use of eBay's feedback system previously, and were you reassured by how eBay responded to it? The relationship your business have with the customer is a fragile thing, and needs constant care, would this help you by making the potential for abuse lower, or would it remove useful feedback for you?


How can you manage the transition of capabilities with minimal impact on the current operations and service levels to the customer? Are you prepared to pay for quality? What, if any, was the impact of technology on supply chain performance? What type of materials will be digitized? Grassroots digital fabrication and makerspaces: are you reconfiguring, relocating and recalibrating innovation?

garmin on india expansion plans and why apple watch ultra is good for the smartwatch industry exclusive
Garmin on India expansion plans and why Apple Watch Ultra is good for the smartwatch industry | Exclusive
'Our biggest expansion will happen in 2023.'
Written by Saurabh Singh
Updated: November 3, 2022 14:00 IST
Yeshudas Pillai, Country Head, Garmin India (left); Sky Chen, Regional Director, Garmin South East Asia & India (right)
Garmin has announced the appointment of Yeshudas Pillai as new India head to help "drive stakeholder engagement, growth, and development of the brand" in the country. The iconic brand, known for its razor-sharp accurate GPS navigation products, wants to expand its business in India where it sees huge potential thanks to a 32% YoY growth till Q3 2022.
Garmin, in fact, is eyeing to make India one of its top 3 markets (in the Asia region) in the next 5 years. Pillai, evidently, has a lot on his plate. (He has over 16 years of experience and has previously been associated with brands like Harmon, Sony, Casio, Canon, and Nestle.)
"I have always been a great believer of innovation and technology and the potential it has to change the moving world," he tells FE on the sidelines of the announcement, adding that he is "excited to join the Garmin team and accelerate its growth in India."
The Garmin India story
Garmin needs little introduction. It has been around for almost three decades. (Fun fact: Garmin made GPS and Personal Navigation Devices (PND) for automotive, aviation, and marine activities during its early days. The name Garmin is a portmanteau of its two founders, Gary Burrell and Min Kao.) Its India story, though, is relatively new starting off –only—in 2008. Slowly and gradually, it has transitioned to— also— making wearables for consumers.
"Garmin has this huge legacy, especially on the GPS front. But we also keep evolving and innovating. We spend a lot of money on R&D so as to offer something which makes people's lives easier," Pillai says, adding that "that's the reason for coming from aviation, marine to wearables."

He notes how important wearable tech has become, now, especially in the wake and aftermath of COVID. You want to stay healthy; you want to track yourself, and how energised you are— as accurately as possible.
Cracking the India market isn't easy and Garmin is aware of its strengths— and some of its limitations, too. It is one of the few brands designing its products end-to-end. Complimenting the core portfolio is an equally impressive and elaborate set of accessories. But all this comes at a cost, Sky Chen who is regional director for Garmin South-East Asia and India tells FE.
"We make products end-to-end ourselves so we make sure that the quality is the best in the market. (So, our prices are also a bit high.)," he says, adding that "more and more local brands are playing the price war, which is a challenge [for Garmin] but we want to aid more on the value side of the services [we offer] through the products we deliver to market so consumers can enjoy them for longer."
Pricing and competition
Pillai is quick to reiterate that Garmin has established itself as a niche category brand which is to say its products –and services— are meant for a very specific group of users who want "to lead a healthy lifestyle" and that overall "quality comes at a price."
When you look at its Venu series, Garmin follows the $300 price bracket. That's the gateway or entry-point into the Garmin-verse, at least at the time of writing. The line-up exists because Garmin needs a product like that, at that price point, for those – first-timers— who want to experience Garmin for the first time. Beyond that, it's all about use case and budget. These things can go up to $2,000.
Despite the varying price points, the quality stays consistent, Sky says. You only pay for getting more and more features as you climb the price ladder. The core pillars, say for instance, quality of the heart rate sensor or SpO2 tracking, plus strong battery life, are the same across the board.
"The way we progress in terms of pricing, you get more and more features and advantages [as you go up]. That's how we place our products categorically. Venu, for example, is a wellness category product. It's for someone who is more concerned about health. Whereas we have a series called MARQ, which is focused on divers and aviation experts. But the quality of a $200 watch is same as a $2000 watch," Pillai explains.
When asked if Garmin would ever launch a smartwatch below $250-$300, Sky says "no, we can't fall below that because we can't compromise on quality."
That $250-$300 segment is also where Apple and Samsung are dominating fair and square. They are the undisputed "mainstream" brands even as local and Chinese players are making sure "affordable" watches and bands are a dime a dozen.
Sky argues that Apple and Samsung are more lifestyle-centric while Garmin is "already strong in the running and cycling space" and has "ecosystem accessories [like power metre for cyclists] also, something that they don't have." And it is apparently more serious about each of this, down to the minutest detail. That said, Garmin is definitely trying to break into more markets and attract more consumers through events and initiatives like Garmin Run Club.
Speaking of which, when asked about how it feels about Apple entering its turf with the Watch Ultra, Pillai says "having a competition [like that] in the local market is always healthy," because "it motivates you to deliver better products and to perform better in the market."
He adds that Apple getting into the high-end smartwatch game is actually good for Garmin because it helps build awareness [about health and fitness and how far smartwatches have come in terms of offering a holistic experience] which invariably also leads to growth of the industry.
"Sometimes people are aware [about tech] because of a competitor and then they can know who's who, and which one they should choose, after," Sky says, adding that "Garmin already had SpO2 before COVID. When COVID happened, people were like, Apple supports SpO2 [too] but we had it first. Now, people know smartwatches can be used for diving also but Garmin has had it for years."
Garmin has a pan-India presence, Pillai says. It is present across all the channels but at the same time, it has been very selectively available in those channels. For instance, it's there on Amazon and Flipkart but it is aware that it needs to also venture into more online platforms. It's present at Helios and Just in Time but it also wants to be at Ethos and Kapoor Watch Co. On the modern trade front, it's there on Croma and Vijay Sales but it wants to also onboard Reliance Digital. It has its own brand stores, too, and also available across the sporting goods channel.
Pillai admits, all these efforts have been in "bits and pieces" so far but its "biggest expansion will happen in 2023 wherein we will foray into almost all channels that India has to offer."
Garmin plans to have more than 10 brand stores in the country by the end of 2023 as part of this strategy.
As for products, Sky says that Garmin has seen "a growth in the preference for mid high range ($300 and above) smartwatches over the last couple of years in India," and that based on these trends, the brand is bullish on the premium segment and plans to actively expand its offerings in the near future.

Natalee Holloway's Dad Wants Her Declared Legally Dead
Mom of teen missing in Aruba not willing to declare her legally dead.
By MARK MOONEY
Natalee Halloway's Father Seeks Legal Closure
Sept. 14, 2011 — -- Natalee Holloway's father has served papers on her mother seeking to have the teenager, who disappeared during a senior class trip to Aruba in 2005, declared legally dead.
Court papers obtained by ABC News indicate that on April 19, 2011, Dave Holloway signed papers seeking a "petition for presumption of death for persons missing for more than five years." Natalee Holloway vanished on May 30, 2005, more than six years ago, at age 17.
The request was actually filed in probate court on June 21. The court documents state that a hearing on the father's request is scheduled for Sept. 23.
In response to the petition, Beth Holloway, the mother of the missing teen, released a statement saying she was caught by surprise by her ex-husband's move.
"I had no idea Dave was filing this petition. I only learned about this when I was handed the citation by a process server while addressing a large audience at a conference in Georgia. I don't know what this is about, or why Dave is taking this action at this time," she said.
Beth Holloway spoke briefly to ABCNews.com to say she does not intend to agree to have her daughter declared legally dead.
"No, I want to get to the bottom of what's going on from Dave," she said.
Dave Holloway could not immediately be reached for comment.
The court papers state that Natalee left an estate "estimated to be worth approximately $500 and probably not more."
Beth Holloway has been relentless in her efforts to find out what happened to her daughter, even slipping into a Peruvian prison to confront Joran van der Sloot, the Aruban man suspected of killing Natalee.
At one point, she agreed to a sting, seemingly complying with van der Sloot's demand for cash in exchange for information about the location of her daughter's body. The transaction was monitored by Aruba authorities, but van der Sloot left the island before the FBI filed extortion charges.
Before van der Sloot could be arrested on extortion, he was arrested in Peru and charged with killing a woman, Stephany Flores Ramirez, on May 30, 2010, the fifth anniversary of Natalee's disappearance. He has been in a Peruvian prison since.
Natalee Holloway was on the last day of a graduation trip to Aruba with her senior class at Mountain Brook High School in Alabama when she did not return to her hotel.
She was last seen in a car with several people that included van der Sloot.
Extensive searches were carried out on the island and surrounding waters, often with Beth Holloway pleading publicly for someone to come forward and hectoring officials to keep on searching.
In the years after her disappearance, there have been many false leads for police and false hopes for Beth Holloway.
The case was closed by Aruba police in 2007, but reopened in 2008 after van der Sloot was caught on video telling someone that he disposed of her body.
The mystery was cruelly fueled by van der Sloot, who frequently changed his story. He also denied that he disposed of her body.
The investigation into Natalee Holloway's disappearance was criticized by Beth Holloway as well as other experts.
Aruban officials seemed to have learned from the Natalee Holloway case and were being much more aggressive in this year's probe of another missing American woman, Robyn Gardner of Maryland.
The Natalee Holloway Resource Center, a foundation started after Holloway's disappearance, has been offering help to Gardner's boyfriend, Richard Forester.
"It strikes a chord close to home, because that's where my nightmare began, the day I got the call in 2005," Beth Holloway told ABC News last month. "We want to be a first responder to these families. We want to be there to help them."

Enema, lavado, lavativa o clisma (término antiguo), es el procedimiento de introducir líquidos en el recto y el colon a través del ano. Los enemas pueden llevarse a cabo por razones médicas o de higiene, con fines diagnósticos, o como parte de terapias alternativas o tradicionales.

Tipos de enemas
Los enemas médicos o por higiene se usan desde hace siglos y son básicamente de dos tipos:

Enema evacuante
Los enemas evacuantes que generalmente actúan de inmediato (15 a 20 minutos máximo), se usan para tratar la retención fecal, eliminación de fecalomas, o el estreñimiento, como por ejemplo en las mujeres embarazadas se usan para aliviar la molestia causada por el estreñimiento que a algunas les produce la ingesta de suplementos nutricionales del hierro.

Enema de retención

Los enemas de retención, que requieren la retención de la sustancia introducida durante un mínimo de 30 minutos a varias horas, se usan para introducir medicamentos o sustancias radio opacas, como el sulfato de bario, y así visualizar con rayos x imágenes del tracto intestinal inferior con fines diagnósticos (véase enema opaco). También existen los enemas para alimentación vía rectal, medida en desuso.

Los enemas clismafilicos son los que se realizan como vehículo para obtener excitación sexual, es decir forman parte de prácticas sexuales, como expresión o variación de parafilias, sobre todo sadomasoquistas.

Sustancias para enemas

Los enemas evacuantes se realizan con agua, solución salina, soluciones jabonosas, emulsiones con aceite o glicerina, soluciones hipertónicas y existen también preparados comerciales. Generalmente todas estas sustancias se aplican a temperatura corporal (37 °C).

En el enema de contraste con radiografía se utiliza sulfato de bario para detectar afecciones como inflamaciones, pólipos o cáncer en el colon y el recto.

Los enemas de retención (a veces precedidos por enemas de evacuación o limpieza) se hacen con aceite de oliva (enema oleoso o emoliente), medicamentos diversos como antihelmínticos o laxantes y antisepticos, sulfato de bario y líquidos con nutrientes en caso del enema alimenticio, así como líquidos para hidratación (proctólisis). En medicina alternativa se usan enemas de café para afecciones hepáticas por su efecto colerético.

Contraindicaciones

Generalmente no se debe practicar enemas en los siguientes casos:
 Inflamación intestinal o colitis y apendicitis
 Peritonitis
 Traumatismo abdominal
 Posoperatorio de cirugías abdominales
 Sangrado de tubo digestivo
 Sensibilidad a los componentes de la fórmula
 Deshidratación
 Hemorroides

Home AMERICAN BRAINWASH Stoltenberg Comes Clean on China 'Opportunity' for NATO
Stoltenberg Comes Clean on China 'Opportunity' for NATO
by Patrice de Bergeracpas March 29, 2021
March 29, 2021 6 minutes read
Help us break the corporate media monopoly before it kills us all. The global oligarchy depends on its disinformation machine to maintain its power. Now the malicious fog of Western propaganda has created an ocean of confusion in which even independent minds can drown. Please push back against this colossal apparatus of deception. Consider a donation today!
by Finian Cunningham
A pathological self-promoting new Quisling to all humanity, Jens Stoltenberg typifies the corruption represented by NATO. Stoltenberg's fronting for America's putrid war designs, and Sweden's abject collaboration with Washington in the silencing of Assange should put an end to the notion the Scandinavians stand for a better brand of political morality.
Forget about China, or Russia, being an alleged threat. They are in actual fact an "opportunity" for NATO and U.S. imperialism.
In an unguarded moment, NATO's secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg let the cat out of the bag when he described the rise of China as both a challenge and "an opportunity". What he was admitting unintentionally is that a confrontational policy toward China gives the military alliance some badly needed new purpose.
Stoltenberg was giving an exclusive interview to Deutsche Welle to mark the first ministerial NATO summit attended by the Biden administration. The two-day summit held on March 23-24 at NATO headquarters in Brussels involved in-person participation of U.S. secretary of state Antony Blinken as well as other foreign ministers of the 30-nation military alliance.
The NATO meeting comes as the United States and its European allies are ramping up a coordinated policy of sanctions against China and Russia over alleged human rights issues. This week saw an unprecedented coordination by the U.S., Canada, Britain and the European Union in implementing new sanctions against Beijing and Moscow. It is no coincidence that this provocative development comes after high-profile international meetings, both in-person and via videoconferencing, by the Biden administration calling for allies to adopt a more adversarial and unified position toward China and Russia.
The Biden administration has changed tack from the predecessor Trump "America First" policy to vigorously advocate for a "revitalized" transatlantic relationship. Washington views a more unified U.S.-Europe axis as a more effective strategic way to challenge China and Russia. And NATO is providing a renewed coordinating vehicle.
But in seeking unity, the Biden administration is by necessity having to push a much more aggressive policy toward China and Russia, portraying them as greater threats. This means the American military alliance takes on greater responsibility for spearheading Washington's policy. A NATO joint statement this week affirmed the alliance's unity in the face of Russian "aggression". Moscow slammed the statement, saying that Russia threatened no nation, and that NATO was trying to justify its existence.
Senior Russian lawmaker Leonid Slutsky said that NATO's claims about being a defensive alliance are a "blatant lie", pointing to wars and interventions it has launched in former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria.
America's top diplomat Antony Blinken this week claimed that China's rise and Russia's attempts to destabilize the West were "threats" that required NATO to come together. Blinken added disingenuously that the U.S. won't force its allies into making an "us or them choice" with China. That's exactly what the U.S. is doing.
Jens Stoltenberg and other European leaders have been swooning over the "new chapter" in transatlantic relations under the Biden administration. After four years of dealing with vulgar-mouth Donald Trump and his relentless hectoring over military budgets, some European leaders are sighing with relief at Biden's seemingly dulcet assurances that "America is back".
Of course people like Stoltenberg, a former Norwegian prime minister who has been the civilian head of NATO since 2014, are reliant on pushing a stronger alliance for their comfy livelihoods and no doubt for future sinecures at corporate-funded think-tanks. Stoltenberg is constantly striving to find a new vision and mission for NATO, an organization founded over 70 years ago at the start of the Cold War, and which has been expanding ever since despite the official end of the Cold War three decades ago. The buzz phrase he uses is to make the alliance "future-proof" – that is to find a permanent pretext for the U.S.-led military organization to continue its existence regardless of real-world security needs.
In his interview with Deutsche Welle this week, Stoltenberg commented on the rise of China. He said, inferring something menacing: "China is coming closer to us, investing in our critical infrastructure."
Well maybe that's because China is the world's biggest trading partner with the European Union and a major foreign direct investor in European nations which have become bankrupt from decades of neoliberal capitalism and austerity.
Stoltenberg went on: "There's no way we can avoid addressing the security consequences for our regional alliance of the rise of China and the shift in the global balance of power."
And then the usually cautious, wooden Stoltenberg let it slip: China, he said, provided "a unique opportunity to open a new chapter in the relationship between North America — the United States — and Europe."
Voila! So the real strategic value of China being presented as a "threat" or an "adversary" is to give a new purpose to the U.S.-led NATO bloc which subordinates Europe to Washington's geopolitical objective of hegemony. The emphasis here is on China "being presented as a threat" and not what the real relationship actually is, that is, one of a vital economic partner. (Same for Russia and its vast energy partnership with Europe.)
The United States in pursuit of global dominance by its corporations and its capitalist order must, by definition, thwart a multipolar global political economy which the rise of China and Russia embody.
The fiendish political problem, however, is that Washington and its European surrogates cannot justify such a stance based on the normal and natural relations that exist. For in doing that, they would be seen as obnoxious, unwarranted aggressors. It is imperative therefore to conflate China and Russia as "security threats" to the presumed Western "rules-based order".
Never mind that the Western "rules-based order" has seen NATO powers trashing rules and order by invading countries all around the world, waging criminal wars and subversions, killing millions of people and unleashing terrorism and other security threats stemming from collapsing nations and mass migration.
Forget about China, or Russia, being an alleged threat. They are in actual fact an "opportunity" for NATO and U.S. imperialism, which the alliance ultimately serves, to find an excuse for their criminal existence and conduct. Just ask the secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg (who, as the jokes goes, is more secretary than he is general).

A story in the NYT about libraries all over the country banning (oh, verzeihung, bitte; "choosing not to stock") a book for 9-12-year-old kids because the word "scrotum" appears in it.
A thousand things worse than this occur every day in every corner of the world. Still, this particular stupidity somehow manages to nudge me more perceptibly than most in the direction of the church steeple and the high-powered rifle.

I never read Judy Blume in school. I didn't know about the books' treatment of sexual issues. I had read that Blume's characters were ridden with angst, and that didn't appeal to me since I had more than enough angst in real life.
I've always said that when it comes to content of kids' books, the religious right cares more about flesh guns than real guns.

But I will.

Let Cindy Sheehan do it.
The Democratic Party is not anti-war. The sooner people realize this, the sooner they'll stop wasting their time hoping the Dems will do anything of substance to end the military occupation of Iraq.
"His plan therefore was not to refuse admission to the idea, but to keep it at bay until his mind was ready to receive it. Then let it in and pulverise it. Obliterate the bastard."--Samuel Beckett
I don't agree that the party is not anti-war. It IS anti-war.
Anyone in their right mind (no pun intended) should be anti-war. No one should be pro-war -- not just in this case, in EVERY case. That does not mean we should never GO to war, but no one -- ever -- should be "for" a war. If they are, they don't understand what a war is.
(Do you remember the old Star Trek episode with the two sides who had made war so antiseptic that no one really opposed it? We're approaching that kind of a civilization now. When those in power can freely and directly criticize the families of those who HAVE made the ultimate sacrifice but dare to question. Damn the Constitution and your loss. Cindy Sheehan anyone???)
(And Speaking on behalf of a military family (mine), it's repugnant that we're told the people making that sacrifice are treasonous for objecting. The word "furious" can't even come close to what many, many military families are feeling towards politicians and pundits these days.)
BTW: The vast majority of Americans are now anti-war -- or at least anti-how-the-war-is-being-conducted. (Citation: *May 24th CBS/New York Times poll found 61% of Americans felt we should have stayed out of Iraq and 76% feel the war is going badly. Bush and Congress are enjoying very low job approval ratings: 30% and 36% respectively.) This is a start.
But, back to the original point: you'll find that the Democratic party -- while Anti-War -- is not anti-military, a huge differentiation.
(One thing I would like to see changed, however, is the reference to War. We're not "warring" with anyone. Frankly, if it were a WAR we'd be firmly kicking someone's ass right now. This is an occupation as you noted above. Again, big difference.)
I am drawn to the variance in perception between our own 200-year-old situation as a restive colony of Great Britain prior to the Revolutionary War, and the Iraqi opposition to our occupation. Yes, the Iraqis are fighting each other more than they are the US, but it's a disturbing corrolation nonetheless. You'll find a lot of the tactics we decry in the Iraqis have analogies -- given the difference in technologies available -- in the Colonial independence movement before the Declaration of Independence. Our own patriots would've been hung by Britain as terrorists had England won that particular war.
(The same may be said of the French Resistance during WW2.)
Lastly:
The Dems disappointed me not by caving in on the funding resolution -- that was a fait accompli well before the vote on the first version of the bill. They disappoint me by being committed to the same political battles and tactics as the Republicans were. It isn't about getting our military out of Iraq, it's how many political points they can score in the meantime. And at that game, they have met the enemy and it is us.
Barber wrote: I don't agree that the party is not anti-war. It IS anti-war.[. . .]
The Democrats have traditionally supported almost every military operation the US has ever been involved in, including this one, so I'm not sure where you're getting this anti-war vibe, Steve. Despite the frowny faces politicians make when soldiers die, they've had no problem conducting war as "politics by other means." Sure, no one likes war when it happens to them--but when it happens to other people, including our own troops? They eat that shit up!
As for the differentiation between "anti-war" and "anti-military," the recent surrender by the Dems over the funding bill shows how meaningless and debased the terms have become. The party line is that "We oppose the war, but we support the troops and therefore must fund them," which is inane. When Bush shows no sign of deviating from his policies even an iota, opposition to a war necessarily includes opposition to its funding. I oppose the war, and I also oppose the military having more money to conduct it, especially when it's doomed to failure. If that makes me anti-military, even if only in a strictly limited sense, then by all means, I'm anti-military. Unlike Bush and the Democrats who rolled over and signed off on the supplemental, however, I don't want to send more of our troops to what has increasingly become the equivalent of a meat-grinder.
You support the troops? Then bring them home. Anything else is like giving someone a lethal injection with a sterilized needle and then rubbing an alcohol wipe on the puncture wound. Sure, he's not going to die from infection, but there's this little problem of the poison . . .
Eh, I don't see the big difference. Wars can go badly and they can also happen in the context of an occupation, which is exactly what's going on now.

Q: Django - Form Not Updating I'm creating a profile page in my web application & I have a form to when the  user makes a form submission I need the data from the form to update in admin from the current logged in user.
The data populates in the admin however new listings keep repeating every time the user submits a form. I need the the data to update only. Screenshot attached.
How do I execute this correctly with my current code?
The Custom User Model I'm using is located in from users.models import CustomUser if that helps.
Any help i gladly appreciated, Cheers

def upload_data(request, pk):

        form.save()
        return redirect('url/')
    return render(request, ' url/', {'form':form})

**For URLS.py**

post('functionName/<str:pk>',views.functionName,name='Function Name'),

A: Change this line listing_instance = form.save() to
listing_instance = form.save(commit=False)

A: Actually I think the problem is that you are not differentiating the request types. You should handle the get and post request separately in your view. So the view should be like this:
def change_view(request):
    user = request.user
    user_profile = Listing.objects.filter(user=user).first()
    form = HomeForm(request.POST or None, request.FILES or None, instance=user_profile)
    if request.method == "POST":  # checking if request is POST or Not
        # if its a post request, then its checking if the form is valid or not
        if form.is_valid():
            listing_instance = form.save(commit=False)  # "this will return the 'Listing' instance"
            listing_instance.user = user # assign 'user' instance
            listing_instance.save() # calling 'save()' method of model
            return redirect("success-url-path")

    context = {
        'form': form
    }

    return render(request, "myaccount.html", context)

WIAAP President's Message – April 30, 2020
Home>WIAAP President's Message – April 30, 2020
A message from WIAAP President, Dr. Dipesh Navsaria:
It's been a couple of weeks since I last wrote; in COVID-time, that means it feels like it's been at least 8 months. Since my last missive, it appears that Wisconsin has dodged a meltdown of our inpatient facilities, and has now pivoted from what I think we can term "survival" to "recovery".
I'll take a moment to note that this is a stark, stark highlighting of how much of a difference public health measures make — and of the importance the clear, responsible communication of those approaches to the public matters. Our health systems would do well to invest in skilled writers, graphic designers, and others to participate in these efforts, don't you think? While we do not have any of those at our small-but-mighty Chapter, we do a pretty reasonable job with the resources we do have, and through repeated collaboration and partnership with our valued friends in all this work.
So now: to recovery. There is still a long road ahead of us in terms of continuing to corral this virus, and ensure that it does not do additional damage beyond what it has already wrought. The science is really clear that we can't lift our control measures too quickly. We may have made remarkable strides in our testing capacity — I have to say I'm stunned at how well we've done in that arena, although it could have been even faster, as some other countries have shown us — but we're not yet at having meaningful, reasonably predictive assessments of immunity, and even further away from a vaccine.
Having said that, the figurative light at the end of the tunnel is visible. Most health care systems, hospitals, and clinics are now thinking about how to retract carefully thankfully-unneeded disaster preparedness, restore delayed care, and return to a path towards some sense of normalcy.
But do we really want to return to "normal"? I think we'd definitely like to see some big parts of "normal" to reappear in our collective lives. Seeing our patients without layers of PPE, handing young children books as part of an absolutely routine well-child visit, and being able to stand near our colleagues in thriving workspaces again would be lovely. Yet, there are parts of the modern business of health care that I'd like to do without: relentless documentation burdens, a lack of flexibility in how and where we can practice medicine to serve our patients' needs best, strong and entrenched biases in what types of care are compensated for, and a focus on financial performance rather than the health and well-being of our communities.
It's okay to want to return to normal. It's also okay to want a better normal, a stronger normal, a more just normal. COVID-19 is bending us, but it's not breaking us. And in that post-flexed moment that is soon upon us, we have an opportunity to not just spring back to how we were, but to arc further into transformation towards that better vision.
That's where your Wisconsin Chapter would like your help. We've created an online form where you can share with us your thoughts, large and small, about what has worked, what hasn't worked, and what we can learn to make the lives of children and families — and of those who dedicate their careers to helping them — better. It doesn't have to be profound, or large — but nor does it have to be tiny. It could be about a way of scheduling appointments, or of triaging patients. It could be about exchanging information with inpatient colleagues and specialists. It could be about policy and legislation.
Help us out, because we'd like to take your thoughts and use it to forge a vision of a better future of Wisconsin's children in the days, weeks, months, and years that lay ahead.
We value you, we see you, and we want to amplify you, because you matter.

Social change start-up Good-Loop seeks £500K to target US ad market
A technology start-up that uses money from advertising to fund 'sustainable social change' and is backed by Skyscanner co-founder Gareth Williams is looking to raise a six-figure sum and move into the US.
27th Jan 2018, 3:54pm
Updated 27th Jan 2018, 4:00pm
Amy Williams founded ethical video advertising platform Good-Loop.
Good-Loop, which launched in October 2016 and has offices in Edinburgh and London, rewards viewers of online video ads with half of the revenue to donate to a charity of their choice.
It has received funding of £100,000 to date and is looking to raise £500,000 to scale up, as it also seeks to raise £6 million for good causes by 2020.
Chief executive and co-founder Amy Williams said she was inspired to establish the venture after working for an ad agency in London.
She teamed up with Daniel Winterstein, co-founder and chief technology officer of social media-focused software firm SoDash, who holds the same positions in Good-Loop.
Good-Loop aims to combine advertising with a "bigger social mission" and its first round of investment, totalling £50,000, arrived in December 2016 via accelerator Collider.
Amy Williams also explains the Skyscanner executive's involvement, saying he was an angel investor in the start-up's second fundraising round.
The latest fundraising is planned for the early part of this year, with angel syndicates being targeted. She said the new capital could help grow the six-strong team to ten by the end of 2018.
She said Edinburgh is "a smart place to grow our base", but that its next focus will be the US. "It's going to be a platform of brands and causes to come together and for consumers to unlock the value of advertising and use it to fund social change."

Andrés de Pez y Malzarraga (1657 - May 7, 1723) was a Spanish Naval commander and founder of Pensacola, Florida.

Life and career
Andrés de Pez was born in Cádiz in 1657 into a naval tradition. His father and older brother were Spanish Naval captains. By the age of 16, de Pez had also entered the Spanish Navy, sailing to and from the Americas.

In 1676, he fought the French in the Battle of Palermo, where his brother and father were killed. He then became a company commander in the Caribbean, guarding Spanish ships and colonies from foreign attackers and pirates. He earned a reputation for outstanding bravery and efficiency, being wounded five times.

He was selected to explore and claim the largely unmapped coasts of the northern Gulf of Mexico. He participated as second in command on three of these voyages between 1688 and 1689. Here he saw the opportunities of Pensacola Bay as a deep-water bay that could be easily defended from approach with land.

Pez sailed to Spain to convince the War Council of the need to establish a stronghold along the shores of Pensacola Bay. After much opposition, he finally received funds for an official reconnaissance of the bay, and a promotion to the rank of admiral. Admiral de Pez returned to New Spain (Mexico) in the fall of 1692 and began plans for the expedition that would lead to the first successful European colonization of Pensacola.

De Pez sailed from Veracruz on March 25, 1693, taking with him the pre-imminent scientist and cartographer Don Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora. They carried with them 120 sailors and 20 infantrymen in two ships: the frigate, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, and the sloop, San José. The expedition entered the bay on April 7. Sigüenza named the bay Bahía Santa María de Galve.

De Pez returned to the south and commanded the entire Windward Fleet until 1701.

During the War of the Spanish Succession, he supported the Bourbon King Philip V of Spain and fought the British, Dutch and Catalans who supported Charles VI of Austria. He served as captain general of the Indies fleet from 1708 to 1710. Pez became in 1715 a member of Spain's Supreme War Council. In 1717 he was named governor of the Council of the Indies, and was named secretary of state and navy in 1721.

Current Times
The all men's mardi gras krewe Andres de Pez pays homage to the honor and memory of Andres de Pez. The krewe members wear bright red tabards and traditional Spanish dress.
