What are the Causes of Homosexual Behavior?
On May 21, 1996 the Supreme Court of the United States revokes a provision of the State of Colorado, which nullified the protection of laws to protect homosexuals from discrimination. On May of 1998 former Democrat President Bill Clinton advocates the right of homosexuals not to be discriminated against. The day of 21 of February of 2013 the current President of the United States Barack Obama also of the Democratic party publicly declares his identification with the struggle of homosexuals for the recognition of gay marriage. Both the decision of the Supreme Court as that of former President Bill Clinton and the current President Barack Obama of advocating non-discrimination of homosexual in the army and other branches of Government, as well as marriage between persons of the same sex are wrong.
Former President Clinton, as the current President Obama, as the Supreme Court of the United States part in their judgments of two mistaken premises. The first one is that homosexuality is innate and cannot be learned, or neither cannot be promoted. The second is that it is wrong to discriminate against the conduct that is the result of innate and therefore natural biological inclinations. Both assumptions are wrong. The first premise will be discussed under the titles:
1. Cultural Bases of the Homosexual Conduct Among the Heterosexual
2. Physiological Bases of the Homosexual Conduct Among Heterosexuals
and it is the subject of the next two topics. The second premise will be discussed under the titles.
3. Is Homosexuality a Sexual Preference?
4. Can the Sexual preference be the basis so that the Homosexual behavior is an Individual Decision or is Homosexual conduct a collective Decision?
5. Are homosexuals a minority group?
6. The Basic Unit of the System Values Reproduction in the Society is the Marriage Between a Man and a Woman
The last four titles are the themes of the remaining topics.
As noted in Chapter 3 "Summary of Sociological Theory on Homosexuality" homosexual behaviour can have two causes or origins. It can have a cultural base and therefore learned, as well as also a biological basis and, therefore, innate. Let's see.
Cultural Bases of the Homosexual Conduct Among the Heterosexual
Social values define those patterns of behavior that when everybody follows them they lead to the well-being of the collective. The social values are part of the culture of peoples. When you change the values of a people, is also changed an aspect of the culture of this people.
The heterosexual behavior of a people is part of the culture of that people and is determined by the values of that culture with regard to sexual conduct that is considered acceptable, correct or good vs. sexual conduct which is considered unacceptable, incorrect or bad. For example, it is normal that in a society with an heterosexual culture the heterosexual behavior is valued as acceptable, correct, or good, and the homosexual behavior is valued as unacceptable, incorrect or bad. On the contrary, it is normal that in a society with an homosexual culture the heterosexual behavior and the homosexual behavior is valued in the same way as acceptable, correct or good conduct.
It Is for that reason that in the history of Rome, Greece and other civilizations can be seen periods where the acceptance of homosexual conduct increased and therefore its practice. Once you change the heterosexual cultural values for the homosexual values, society evolves from an heterosexual to an homosexual.
When contemporary society, through the courts, the legislature and the Executive criminalizes and penalizes the holding of values that reject the homosexual conduct as unacceptable, incorrect or bad, it is forcing a change in the culture of the people from an heterosexual culture to an homosexual culture. The cultural change will not be in the short term. It will take 4 to 5 generations, that is. 80 to 100 years to see the cultural transformation of the society.
The Theory of Homosexuality by Cultural Learning is a psycho-sociological theory on homosexuality which establishes that homosexual conduct, as well as the heterosexual, is learn from existing social values in the culture about heterosexual behavior and homosexual behavior. According to this theory, homosexual conduct learning depends on the not holding of the anti-gay values in people. That is, homosexual conduct learning depends on the uninstallation in the psyche of the people of the values that established that homosexual conduct is bad or negative. As a result, according to this theory, the systematic removal in the persons of these anti-gay values by the institutions of the State has the effect of induce and encourage homosexual behavior in the society in the long term.
If this theory is correct, then the decisions of the Supreme Court and the laws of the legislature to criminalize public expressions against homosexual behavior and, accordingly, to criminalize the possession of anti-gay values, have the effect of promoting homosexuality in society in so far as they uninstall these values in people. The same applies to laws that legalize homosexual behavior and same-sex marriage. These laws have the effect of setting new values in the culture of the peoples in the sense that homosexual conduct is acceptable, correct or good. These values are contrary to the traditional values of the culture which state that homosexual conduct is unacceptable, incorrect or bad.
Until today the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, as well as those of the legislature and the Executive, in the field of creating laws and regulations that criminalize public expressions against homosexuality, are based on the premise that homosexual behavior has a single biological origin. That is, it is presumed that homosexual conduct is just innate and that cannot be learned as an element of culture. As a result, it is presumed that homosexuals are a minority group.
If the assertion of this new sociological theory is correct, in the sense that homosexual behavior is learned and can be encouraged as an aspect of the culture of the peoples, then the people who practice homosexuality cannot be considered as a minority group. In addition to the previous conclusion there is another conclusion that arises. If this theory it is correct in the sense that the homosexual behavior can learn and be transmitted as a custom of the culture, then the legislation and the decisions of the Supreme Court that criminalize in the persons the holdings of valued against homosexual behavior has the effect of encouraging in the society the gradual transition from an heterosexual society to a homosexual society.
If this theory is correct, and describes reality, within the term of 80 to 100 years, that is for the year 2112, the American society will have undergone a transition from a heterosexual to an homosexual society where more than 30% of its population will be homosexual.
Physiological Bases of the Homosexual Conduct Among Heterosexuals
The homosexual conduct may be innate, in the case of individuals biologically oriented toward such conduct, as well as it can be learned, in the case of heterosexuals or individuals not biologically oriented toward such conduct. The last has its origin in the physiological basis of human eroticism or sexual pleasure. Every man by more male who sits can derive pleasure from the stimulation of the anus. The anus is a sensitive organ that produces pleasure when it is stimulated through penetration with any object. The anus can be stimulated with the penetration of the finger, an object or a penis. Any man, just like any woman can derive pleasure from the stimulation of the anus. Skin, similar to the mouth and other body organs produce sexual pleasure or gratification when it is stimulated, no matter who the person who produces the caress or which object (vibrator, artificial penis, etc.) or animal (dog that licks the sexual organs or bestiality with different animals, etc.).
We see, therefore, that both men and women can derive pleasure of any caress in the skin or in the mouth or genital organ, no matter who the human being or the object or animal that produces the caress. Why then heterosexuals feel repulsion and displeasure of having homosexual relationships? The answer is the teaching of social values that regulate sexual behavior of the individuals living in the society. These values are part of the culture of peoples. If you change these values a very important aspect of the culture is changed.
Human beings are the only animal that has values and which governs their behavior based on these values.
Values, once instilled and installed in the psyche of individuals have the power to activate or cause unpleasant. Society instills the individual value of that being gay is bad. Once instilled that value, the homosexual conduct produces displeasure, disgust, shame, etc. But there is no physiological impediment so that man or woman may not derive pleasure from the stimulation of the anus or any other part of the body no matter whoever that produce that stimulus. The impediment is not physical but emotional. The violation of the value produces very intense unpleasant emotions and affective states that away him from such conduct. If this negative value is removed, you can then derive pleasure from homosexual behavior. That is precisely what makes the legislation to prevent the discrimination of the society against homosexual behavior.
Similarly there is no physiological impairment that prevents an individual derive pleasure from sexual intercourse with their parents or children. The vagina of the mother or daughter or father or son penis have the physiological ability to generate orgasm in any incestuous relationship. The only reason why sexual intercourse with the mother or the children produce nausea, horror, disgust, repugnance, etc., is by an educational factor which has its origin in the teaching and inculcation of values. Since a child the society instills in the individual value of that incestuous relations are bad and abominable. Once installed the value on the individual psyche the idea of executing such conduct produces shame, disgust, displacer. Individuals who for some reason have not installed values regarding incestuous sexual behavior have sex with their fathers, sons or brothers. Since these individuals do not experience the emotion shame or the emotion disgust, they can then enjoy freely with their daughters or sons or parents of sexual pleasure that produces the physiological stimulation of their bodies no matter who is the person that stimulates them are.
Similarly there is no physiological impediment that would prevent any individual to derive sexual pleasure from children. The reason why pedophilia is not spread extensively in society lies in the values that were instilled and installed in individuals and that they are part of their culture.
These values set that it is bad that men practice homosexuality, as well as incest, as well as pedophilia. These values once installed on the individual will activate him unpleasant sensations when you approach these behaviors or abstract objects. These values can coexist with the installation of other values that are inconsistent with them, as for example, the value of that being gay is not bad. In the long run, perhaps in the following generations, a value manages to fully prevail over others and then there will be consistency between them.
That is why we constantly see people who commit incest. As they do not have these values installed in their psyche, can't react emotionally and affectionately before the violation of the values and because not cause them embarrassment, nausea disgust, etc., they can enjoy the act.
Certainly there are innate factors in behavior. There are people who are genetically more sex appeal by persons of the same sex. In other words, biologically are they excited sexually more easily in the presence of someone of the same sex. However, is genetic also that a large proportion of older persons is erotically easier with young people that with people of his own age or older. Similarly at the end of the normal curve, there are people who feel genetically more sex appeal, not with young people, but with the children. These are pedophiles. In other words, biologically are they excited sexually more easily in the presence of a child than in an adult. The phenomenon consists in that the presence of a child, rather than produce excitement tenderness as a reaction biologically innate in most individuals, produces the emotion erotic or sexual arousal. In real life we find hundreds of examples of these cases daily. So much so that there is an industry of magazines and videos of child pornography that makes millions of dollars selling to people with these biological trends. Similarly, in certain Eastern cultures is normal, not only prostitution, but the practice of marrying at age of childhood. There are extreme cases of people who are sexually attracted by infants of months born. The news about rapists of babies are not strange.
Is Homosexuality a Sexual Preference?
There is widespread belief that homosexuality is a sexual preference issue. Sexual preference means that homosexuality is genetically oriented behavior. In other words, homosexual is attracted sexually by persons of their own sex, while persons of the opposite sex do not attract them or do not attract them so much. Therefore, homosexuality is not learned nor can spread among heterosexuals and consequent you can not promote as a cultural custom. From the foregoing it is concluded that, you must not discriminate against any person making his homosexuality of public knowledge. Public figures who are homosexual, that is, famous sportsmen and athletes, teachers, entertainment artists and figures representing models to follow for children and society in general, can proclaim his homosexuality and express pride and joy for being so, because children and adults in society does not try to imitate them in his homosexuality. A primary school teacher can say to the children from his school that he is gay and that he feels proud of it and it is assumed that he would not be imitated by children who see it as a model to follow. It is assumed that this will be so in virtue of that homosexuality is innate or biological behavior that you can not culturally learn.
That's why homosexuals should be considered as a minority group and be protected by laws of anti discrimination in the same way as individuals who are born with physical impairments or who accidentally acquire the condition are a minority and should be protected by laws against the discrimination.
This perception is doubly wrong. Firstly, homosexuality, although it may be biological, it can also be learned as a cultural custom and, secondly, there are genetic or innate behaviors that cannot be allow. For example, it is know that a part of the conduct and thus the personality of the individual have an innate biological or genetic basis. So there are people who are born with a genetic predisposition to enjoy sexual relations with children called pedophiles, there are others who are born with a genetic predisposition to enjoy own pain and they are called masochistic, there are others who are born with a genetic predisposition to enjoy when they cause pain to others and they are called sadists. There are others who are born with a genetic predisposition to kill themselves and they are called suicidal, there are others who are born with a genetic predisposition not to feel fear because of the danger, and from child exhibit behavior that is known as temerity, there are people who are born with a genetic predisposition to steal and they are called kleptomaniac. Among these last are very wealthy individuals who cannot avoid feeling the compulsive steal momentum. There are people who are born with a genetic predisposition to compulsively play without being able to control; there are people who are born with a genetic predisposition to be alcoholics, etc.
There is no doubt that a large part of the conduct has an innate genetic basis that models the personality of each individual. While the pedophile or the Kleptomaniac or the compulsive gambler feels that momentum that is part of their innate personality and which in many cases may not contain, the society cannot treat these people as minorities and grant them the same status as a person with physical impairments, because these behaviors apart from have an innate predisposition they also have feature be behaviors that you can learn by convenience and spread, damaging the well-being of the collective. Anyone can not learn to be a disabled, nor to be Indian, black, woman or any other minority group. Therefore, given the ethical principle that all human beings are equal, is justified legislate to protect these groups and with them to society in general, against the discrimination. However, it is not wise to generalize this principle so that it justifies or which permitted a teacher pedophile, sadist, Kleptomaniac, player compulsive or alcoholic stand against their students and proclaiming that he feels very proud of it because he was born with that biological inclination. The society has the natural right to regulate the behavior of its members which is detrimental to the collective, although this behavior is determined by innate genetic factors in a minority fraction of the population.
In conclusion, the fact that a minority of the population feel biological or innate attraction to people of the same sex and the fact that you give to that condition the name of 'sexual preference' does not imply that homosexuality as behavior will not be culturally transmitted or learned and therefore harmful to society. As a result, homosexuality is not a matter of sexual preference since this depends also on the learning
Can Sexual preference be the Base so that the Homosexual Behavior is an Individual Decision or is the Homosexual conduct a collective Decision?
Should the sexual preference of each person be the basis to legitimize and legalize homosexual behavior?
Homosexuality as a behavior is not an individual but collective decision. We can't decide individually whether we want to or not practicing homosexual behavior, because at the end, in the long term, all will be exhibiting the same behavior as either homosexual or heterosexual depending on the cultural values that are instilled.
Sexual behavior, apart from that you can have an innate or biological origin has also a sociological origin that is learned. Sexual behavior is learned through the teaching of the basic social values of culture.
Consequently, society cannot leave free will decision of practicing homosexuality because in the short term would be an individual decision, but in the long term, after 4 or 5 generations, would be a collective decision, where homosexuality is generalization as behavior.
Decisions about sexual behavior that have people aren't likely to be individualized because, by their nature, they are collective decisions. In other words, those behaviors may not be individualized because in the long term they defined collective behavior. For example, the pedophile behavior is rejected by the vast majority of the population. That rejection is not due to that people cannot derive pleasure from sexual intercourse with children, but it is due to social values installed in the psyche of people condemn such as bad conduct. Consequently, violation of the installed value produces or active in individuals the emotion shame and is that unpleasant emotion which prevents it from acting that way to the people and not their sexual preference on children. However, what if that value of the psyche of the members of the society will live and be replaced by the value that is good and right to have sex with children? and what if a law were passed legalizing sex with children? Would happen as follows: in the short term, given by the first generation, this new valuation of pedophile behaviour and this new law will only determine the behaviour of pedophile. I.e., the rest of the people in that first generation in that society would still have the same value instilled in them since they were children with regard to pedophilia and feel the emotion shame to exercise this sexual behavior with a child. However, in the long term, after multiple generations that would grow in such a society where not be instilled in them that value, pedophile behaviour is generalization in the majority of people.
In other words, as we saw in the previous topic, human sexuality physiological bases allow getting pleasure and sexual gratification from multiple sources, among which are sexual relations with children. Consequently, at the time that the social value "sexual relations with children are evil and abominable" be out removed from the population and replaced by the value that such relations are good and correct, it will happen that after 4-5 generation the pedophile behavior will be generalize.
It is therefore an error to accept the thesis of the homosexual groups in the sense that homosexual behavior is a matter of sexual preference and, as such, an individual decision that should not be condemned or valuing as a misconduct. Not valorize as bad or negative homosexual behavior entails a collective decision on the practice of such conduct. That is, it implies a change in the values of that culture and therefore in what that culture taught and passed on from one generation to another. Once is accepted homosexual conduct as good or correct is a matter of time so that all who incorporate the new value in the new generations takes the same decision.
Are the Homosexuals a Minority Group?
There are legitimate minorities, such as different racial or ethnic groups or disabled people or, in the case of gender, women, etc. which justifies that State (courts, leaders, legislators) will act to protect them from the discrimination. This intervention is justified because the discrimination away to the society of being an egalitarian, as established in the Constitution of that society.
What defines these groups as minorities is not a behavior or conduct, but one or more characteristics in common that possess all the members who belong to ethnic minorities and which have nothing to do with a behavior or way of behaving. The behavior of individuals in society is something that is governed by the system of values which is established by the culture of that society. Those social values applies to the regulation of all human behaviors including those genetically oriented as they are behaviors that meet the sexual needs of individuals in society.
Society has the natural right to define the life or coexistence within it. In other words, the right to determine how that its members will have to satisfy their sexual needs, the way should be approached or courting their partners for sex, the form which will be have the basic unit of cultural values reproduction from one generation to another and who is denominate or called as the family, etc..
The definition of marriage between a man and a woman is at the same time a definition of what will be the basic unit of reproduce the social values and therefore how to reproduce the same society from generation to generation. The definition of marriage cannot be changed to include the relations between people of the same sex without thereby altering the basic unit of reproduction of the values of society and consequently altering the very nature of the society.
Society sets the value that sex with children is forbidden, no matter whether such conduct has genetic orientation in some people if it is learned. Similarly prohibits the homosexual and incestuous behavior. Therefore, a minority cannot be defined on a behavioral feature or human behavior because the regulation of conduct or behavior is something which is consubstantial and inherent to the same formation of life in society. Impose upon society different values is equivalent in effect to change and transform the nature of that society. A society may be religious or secular nature, of heterosexual or homosexual nature, but will always be defined by the system of values that are enacted and which are reproduced from generation to generation.
If the society through the courts and their Presidents established new rules of conduct, i.e., new social values that homosexual behavior is not bad it will be conducting at the same time that society to suffer a change or transition from a life in society with rules (values) heterosexual to life in society with rules (values) gay. That transition will not occur suddenly, but in the long term. At first the two sets of values (heterosexual and homosexual) co-exist but then with the passing of time the new generations will not feel shame nor any adverse emotion practicing homosexual relations. When this happens will be completed the transition of a country from heterosexual country or society to homosexual country or society.
We can establish an analogy between the pedophile and the pederast with homosexual by biological orientation and homosexual by learning.
The pedophile is defined as that adult, usually older than 18, that can only feel sexual arousal with pre-pubic-age children, under the age of 13 (usually between 8 to 12 years, although there have been cases of individuals who are sexually attracted by children of only 3 years). The pederast is defined as the adult who has sexual intercourse with children under the age of 13 years. A pedophile becomes pederast when he passes with children sexual arousal to sexual intercourse with children.
A pedophile doesn't have to be a pederast and a pederast doesn't have to be a pedophile. A large proportion of the population of pederast are not pedophiles. In other words, unlike the pedophile that only feel sexual attraction to children, the child molester or pederast who is not a pedophile can feel sexual attraction for adults and be a person married with a normal and satisfactory marital life. However, if he have the opportunity to have sex with a child without being discovered and punished he will leverage the occasion.
Consequently, we can say that the pedophile is an individual with a sexual preference for children in the same way that biologically oriented homosexual is an individual with a sexual orientation towards persons of the same genre.
The pederast who is not a pedophile, on the other hand, can be a perfectly normal person in terms of their sexual orientation, but given that he do not have the installed value that "sexual relations with children are bad" he can enjoy that kind of intercourse with children always that he be provided with the opportunity to do so without being punished.
In consequence, we can say that the pederast who is not a pedophile and that does not have installed the value that "sexual relations with children are bad" is an individual who practices sexual relations with children for learning, in the same way as heterosexual who has not installed the value that "homosexuality is bad" and, therefore, do not feel ashamed of having homosexual relations, is homosexual by learning.
Is hereby understood that the fact that a proportion of the population is pedophile, that is, they are people who are biologically oriented to only gain sex pleasure with children, not may imply that the society is obliged to treat these people as a minority group and allow them the acceptance of their behavior as correct and by granting him the right to hold intercourse with children without they can be rejected or discriminated against by the rest of society. Neither can be reason for society allow and legalize the marriage of an adult with a child.
Is hereby understood that the fact that a proportion of the population is biologically homosexual, that is, they are people who are biologically oriented to only gain pleasure sex with people of the same genre, not may imply that the society is obliged to treat these people as a minority group and allow them the acceptance of his behavior by granting him the right to hold intercourse with people of his same gender without they can be rejected or discriminated against by the rest of society. Neither can be reason for society allow and legalize the marriage of a homosexual with another homosexual. However, that is exactly what has been done when it has been legislated and established jurisprudence to criminalize possession of values in people against homosexual behavior and legalizing same-sex marriage.
In conclusion, there are minorities which are not legitimate because they are defined in relation to a human behavior, such as pedophiles, the kleptomaniac, alcoholic, compulsive players, etc. and therefore it is not justified that the State acts to protect them against the natural discrimination of the society that has valued such as bad conduct.
The Basic Unit of Reproduction of the System of Values in Society is the Marriage Between a Man and a Woman
In Western culture, marriage is between a man and a woman. This is a moral value in Western culture. The society has the natural right to determine what is moral (i.e. socially acceptable behavior) and the State which violates that right can easily fall into anarchy, social anomie and degeneration.
Let's look at an example. If the Government legalizes marriage between two men or two women, the basic unit of reproduction of the system of values in society changes and thus their values that are there will transmit or disseminate from one generation to another. The child will learn from the example of their male parents or women parents the sexual behaviors that are acceptable and therefore can follow or practice without being rejected or deprecated.
More important still is the evolution of this phenomenon in the future. If it establishes that the family as basic unit of reproduction of social values on permissible sexual behavior may consist of marriage between two men or two women is a matter of time that society be wondering why that may not be joined between three or more man or three or more women. Why not between a man with several women or a woman with several men. There are societies where polygamy is the norm or rule. Why we are monogamist and not polygamies societies? The reasons why Western societies evolved towards monogamy instead of polygamy are lost in the anthropological history of humanity but not for that reason must presume that they did not exist.
Social values are defined as behaviors that when all members of society practice them the benefit is generated to the collective welfare and when nobody practices them result in the loss of that welfare. If we throw away the value of that marriage is between a man and a woman to be replaced by the value of that marriage is between two people of either sex, is a matter of time before would be establish the polygamous marriage between multiple people whether they be of the same-sex or different sex combinations.
How values are instill and installed? That is the issue that is discussed in the next articles under the menu: "Homosexual Theory: Theory of Values: What are Social Values?".


It sure has me scared too.
2. Blog. Not every Extension professional needs their own blog, but part of a 10% social media appointment should include blogging. We all need to be contributing to blogs whether it's our own, or as a guest. Why?
We must now engage on blogs and social media more than ever because Google's new Hummingbird algorithm favors conversation. We have to proactively search for blogs and articles that cover our areas of expertise and provide further insight, dispel myths and correct people where they are wrong...all while back-linking to Extension's research-based information.
The Hummingbird update enhances Google's ability to understand the meaning between word combinations rather than just looking for keywords...which points to the de-prioritization of keywords.
We can't just optimize for keywords anymore, we have to optimize our audiences. While this breakthrough makes my Journal of Extension article about SEO obsolete, the good news is that Google understands context, meaning and quality without needing all of the tagging and categorization.
By the way, if you haven't set-up Google Authorship yet I suggest you do.
3. Hire Outside the Box. I think Cooperative Extension needs a breath of fresh air. We can't continue to hire the same people with the same backgrounds and expect different results. If we do, Extension will remain broken.
What if we hired people with advanced degrees in business, communication, instructional and visual technologies, or computer science as county and regional faculty? Or how about MBAs in administration? I believe an outside, entrepreneurial perspective is what we desperately need.
Let's stop hiring shy people who ignore and hide from clients. Instead, let's hire people who are excited about and capable of working with the public face-to-face and online. They can't be afraid to make a podcast or video newsletter. They should be exstatic about hosting a webinar or online course.
Openness and transparency are two values that are very important to professionally.
Yes, One of the biggest changes we can make in Cooperative Extension is to adopt an open access and open science mentality.
What Cooperative Extension and land-grants can offer, but companies and consultants cannot or will not, is open access and open science. With a mentality of openness, our reach and impact can grow exponentially because our works can be built on others. The flip side of openness is seeking information and discoveries from others—commercial and independent farmers who are experimenting. Thus, we can build on the work of others.
In Ag Extension and Experiment, there are partnerships presently, but in my opinion, not enough that in the open where others can discover and share.
In reference to your 3rd point, the ECOP sponsored study on the 21st Century Extension Professionals https://learn.extension.org/events/1073 . This study found that very few job announcements mentioned that Extension educators should have an aptitude in using social media. While hiring people who are adept at communicating and managing multiple projects are important skills, having skills in collaborating in virtual environments are also so very important. Virtual collaboration is one of the 10 skills needed in the Institute of the Future Work Skills report http://www.iftf.org/our-work/global-landscape/work/future-work-skills-2020/. Hiring "young" people does not guarantee those skills. Hiring people unlike our present selves gives us some hope.
As I think of using social media from the individual perspective, developing a presence online means that we have a different mindset about accepting and tolerating many views, considering those views in learning, developing appropriate meaningful responses, and trying to devise communications strategies that make a difference.
In Cooperative Extension, some local educators do this very well. Unfortunately, a majority of them cannot scale their work and/or they limit their connections to a homogenous group. There are exceptions. Let's promote those exceptions and learn how to make greater impact and reach.
Again thanks for pushing us forward.
Thank you for your incredible insight and perspective Anne! I'm glad to have you in my personal learning network. Collaborating with and learning from Extension professionals from all over the country is one of the top 10 aspects of Extension work that I love the most. The 21st Century Extension Professional presentation is such a helpful resource, thanks for sharing.
I'd like to learn more about specific examples of Extension are offering open science and open access in their program delivery. Is there a state that is doing this better than others? I'd like to learn how I can work this into a range/livestock workshop I'm involved in.


MannaGum Alpine Lodge is one of the closest off mountain Lodges conveniently located just outside the gates of the Mt Buller-Mt Stirling Ski Resort.
MannaGum's first class accomodation is a short drive from the Mirimbah gates set at the foot of Mount Buller. Once through the gates you are within the Mt Buller-Mt Stirling Resort.
As one of the closest off-mountain Lodges available, it offers fast access to all that Buller and Stirling have to offer at a fraction of the cost of staying on-mountain.
To find us travel through Mansfield take the Mt Buller road and drive approximately 30 km. The turnoff at Sawmill Settlement into Warrambat Road is clearly signed. Turn right into Warrambat Road, go to the end of the road and take the last road on the right, Overflow Road, then the first on the right, Man Court. MannaGum is on the corner at 3 Man Court.
Nearest shops are in Mansfield, so do your grocery shopping on the way through. Nearest bottle shop is at Merrijig Motor Inn. Milk and bread are usually available at Mirimbah store 2 km away.
The peaceful, secluded location set amongst the Alpine Ash forest makes this a private, but convenient, base for your next Alpine adventure.
You can drive your own car (with chains) up to the top car parks, or park at the Mirimbah gates and get a bus up the hill.
Buses travel regularly between Mansfield and Mt Buller, stopping to collect passengers opposite Warrambat Rd on Mt Buller Road, but you must book (03) 5775 2606.
Ride the Alpine Epic Trail or the tracks at Mt Buller and Mt Stirling - they are all just minutes away from our door. During summer take the bike shuttle up from Mirimbah, or drive yourself. The Epic Trail ends a short ride away.
Some of the best alpine hikes are minutes away as well. The West Ridge of Buller and Mt Timbertop walks provide stunning views for the experienced day hiker.


A 1969 graduate of Gulfport High School, he graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1973 with a bachelor's degree in business administration, with an emphasis in marketing and finance.
After graduation, he said, he had an opportunity "to travel a good bit" before putting his degree to work. He is a financial adviser and branch manager at Raymond James Financial Services in Gulfport. He is a graduate of the Institute of Investment Managing Consulting and a member of the Financial Services Institute.
Parading is an interest that didn't leave him. Hardaman also is a co-founder, board member and past president of Christmas on the Bayou, the annual event that encourages boat owners to festively decorate their craft and sail along Bayou Bernard in Gulfport.
"It was about 15 years ago," he said. "A friend and I were having drinks together and we said we needed to do a lighted parade, so that's how it started. He just followed through more than I did. We started with about three or four boats, and last year, I think it was about 70 that participated. It's almost like Mardi Gras, an opportunity to do something the whole community can enjoy."
Water plays a big part in Hardaman's off-the-clock fun. He's a member of the Gulfport Yacht Club and the Big Game Fishing Club.
"Mainly marsh fishing, speckled trout, that sort of thing," he said with a laugh. "I mostly support the (Big Game Fishing) club."
However, he and friend Woody Bailey are planning a big excursion for later this year.
"I enjoy boating, and we've just been planning a trip to the Bahamas, around the end of May. We'll take the boat there, stay a bit there and come back, ahead of the storm season," he said.
years ago. Being involved and serving as king this year is exciting, he said, but the biggest thrill is giving others an opportunity to enjoy themselves.
"Mardi Gras, for me, is more about doing something for the community. It's about enjoyment, but not just for us.
"When you're riding in the parade and look out on this virtual sea of people -- moms and dads, grandmothers, children, brothers and sisters, with big smiles on their faces -- you know you're doing something good for the community," he said.
Kimberley Nicole Rushton now lives in Birmingham, Ala., but she's definitely a Coast girl.
She is operating partner at I Love Juice Bar in Hoover, a suburb of Birmingham, with plans to open several more locations in the Birmingham area. The chain features vegetarian juices and smoothies. Her father, Gerald Edison "Rusty" Rushton Jr., advised her to look into the company after she graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in mass communication with concentration in advertising. She had gotten a glimpse of working in the food industry when she worked at Stalla a few years ago.
"It's a happy, healthy, feel-good business," she said of the company.
When she's not focused on a Mean Greens juice blend or a Blue Chocolotta smoothie, Rushton might be found drawing, delving into typography, playing tennis or cooking.
"Cooking, for sure, but I do it so much, I don't think of it as a hobby," she said. She's especially drawn to Asian cuisine, plus curry and noodle dishes.
"I watch a lot of cooking shows -- 'Chef's Table,' 'The Mind of a Chef,'" she added.
She appreciates microbrewed beers, too, and this year, both Queen Ixolib and King d'Iberville have their own brews created by Coast microbrewery Crooked Letter.
"Mine is a blonde, and Jim Hardaman's is a blend of malts and hops," she said.
Travel also appeals to her.
"Last summer I went all different places -- France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Amsterdam," she said.
Carnival has long been a part of her life.
"I've been going to parades since I was a toddler," she said. "It's always been a part of my life, and I love it. I went to LSU, so you had Mardi Gras there, too, and my aunt lives in New Orleans.
"I was probably about 12 when I first rode on a float, in Gemini. It was a Bayou Bluff (Tennis Club) float," she recalled.
Summer camp groups at the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art in Biloxi decorated the favors for the Queen's Luncheon.
"They painted pottery crowns, and each one is one of a kind," Rushton said.
Speaking of one of a kind, the queen's gown has a history that starts in New York City.
The family was in the city for the graduation of the queen's sister, Kate Rushton, so Kate led the women to the Garment District.
"She basically designed her own gown, and Sheila (Gray) had a vision for it," Oustalet said. "She wanted it to be a simple, elegant style."
"It's more ballgown regal," Rushton said. "It's definitely me."
Her crown also is simple and elegant, and she is looking forward to wearing it, but Queen Ixolib also has a witty side.
"I wanted a Queen Elizabeth crown -- you know, the huge gold one with the velvet," she said, laughing. "Of course, I wouldn't have worn it, but it's just so big. So they (her maids) gave me one."
GCCA's 2016 theme is Extra! Extra!


Nativity scenes are a big part of Advent and Christmas preparations in Spain. There are several here in Las Palmas, but the most impressive one is definitely the one made of sand on Las Canteras beach. This year is the seventh edition. I was so lucky to see it last year too, and I am looking forward to seeing it this year.
The other day I snapped some photos of the making of it. I love seeing artists working, and this was no exception. It is so impressive to see them create these huge sand sculptures!
Anyway, here's what you can do with 500 tons of sand on a 1500 square meter space!
I can't help thinking back to my golden days as a sand castle maker... Let's just say much has happened in the Sand Castle business since then, hah!
It always amazes me what people can do with sand... and how quickly it disappears again.
Oh wow! This is awesome! I love it and I want to build something like that too!
You know, you COULD take a trip over to Barcelona when I am there :) :) January 25th-28th. Just a suggestion!
I COULD. But I am planning a trip to Bcn just two weeks later... if not I would have considered it!!
haha, fair enough :) It was worth a try!
Wow! I can't even imagine how much practice is needed to perfect that!
Yep, it certainly is impressive! I have no idea how the make it, and how they make it last so well over time.
That would be a cool plan!
What a beautiful art form. It must be so relaxing and so rewarding. I can't wait to see this years one all done up.
It is now open to the public but I haven't been there yet. I will go today or tomorrow!


The General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) integrates financial, real property, cost and performance data into a Web-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. GFEBS standardizes business processes and transactional input across the Army, provides real-time visibility of transactions, integrates data and produces full cost data. GFEBS will enable decision-makers to better leverage current resources and enable better analyses of resource implications for programs and budgets.
GFEBS brings the majority of Army financial and real property management processes into a single system, integrates performance data and produces full costs. This empowers leaders at all levels to consider the true costs of operations, functions, organizations and more when making decisions.
GFEBS is being implemented across all three Army Components: the active Army, the U.S. Army National Guard (ARNG) and the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR). For the first time, the Army will have a single authoritative source for financial and related non-financial data for the entire general fund.
Ultimately, GFEBS will replace more than 80 Army legacy accounting, financial and asset management systems including the Standard Finance System (STANFINS) and Standard Operation and Maintenance Army Research and Development System (SOMARDS). When fully implemented, GFEBS will be one of the world's largest ERP systems with some 79,000 end users at more than 200 locations around the world and with about a million transactions a day. GFEBS will enable the Army to better manage current and better estimate future budget requirements for the $140+ billion annual expenditures.
GFEBS provides accurate, reliable, and real-time financial and real property data; enable cost management activities; and better enables relating execution and future budget data. GFEBS is a significant step in transforming how the Army does business–-moving the Army from a spending to a cost management culture.


Peter Gabriel was in Quebec City (Canada) from November 7 to November 9 for a full rehearsal of his new world tour starting in Chicago on the 12th of November.
The whole point of this reahearsals was to use, for the first time, all the visual effects and to see how all that goes together with the songs and to polish all th glitches.
But the people in Quebec City, including myself, were in for a big surprise on Thursday November 7, when it was annouced that the first 1000 people to show up on Friday night, November 8, with their ticket for the show (November 30) in hand, will be able to attend the full rehearsal, for free!!!!!
Wristbands were distributed so there was no rush at the door.
Journalists were privileged enough to enjoy 4 songs live and then a press conference was set up live on TV and Peter Gabriel and Robert Lepage were there to answer questions prior to the rehearsal in front of 1000 lucky ones.
Watch out: spoilers galore follows!!!!!!!
At the Colisee, we were greeted by Robert Lepage, he told us how this would work, explaining that we were going to see an almost full rehearsal (some tricks were left out), with long breaks between songs and maybe some songs will have to be stopped and started again, so he said that this could be a very long evening, to the cheers of the crowd!!!! This event was filmed in its entirety so they can study how everything works before the first night of the tour.
When the lights dimmed, Peter arrived from under the stage and started with Here Comes The Flood (what a way to begin a show!!!!), and then Darkness!!!
I must say that the musicians were excellent, Peter have always been able to choose very talented musicians, this tour is no exception!! They were all scattered throughout the stage with the drummer occasinaly in the center and sometimes at the rim of the stage..
Their is a 2nd stage, up in the air and it came down occasionaly, especially for The Barry Williams Show, where Peter used a camera and filmed the crowd. This was broadcast on a very big "egg" in the center of the stage.
For me the biggest thrill of the evening was when the egg opened and a big balloon came out. Peter climbed inside and Growing Up began!!
He seemed to have some problem getting it started but he finally succeeded and he rolled the ball with him walking inside of it (there is another balloon inside, so he was inside the second balloon....wait until you see it!!!). He danced inside the balloon and believe me, everybody was having a great time looking at him, he really seemed to enjoy it immensely!!!!!!
For Mercy Street, a small boat was put on the stage and the entire rim of the stage began to rotate, giving the impression that the boat was moving; Melanie sat inside and was rowing. What a beautiful song!!!
Of course there was some other things (like during Solsbury Hill and My Head Sounds Like That) but I'd rather you discover them for yourselves.
Like Robert Lepage said at the press conference, maybe what we saw will be very different when the show hit Quebec City on November 30, because Peter like to keep things open, so some things may be left out and others may be added.
I hope this is making your mouth water, believe me I can't wait to see the show in full swing this time!!!!!


How does ADA apply to your website?
On July 26, 1990, George W. Bush signed into law The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The law is far-reaching and prohibits those with disabilities to be discriminated against.
The Act is divided into four main sections, called Titles. Each Title addresses specific instances of how the law applies.
Title I: Employment – includes employers with 15 or more employees for federal, state and local government and also applies to employment agencies and labor organizations.
Title II: State & Local Governments, Transportation and Public Services prevents government and other public agencies from denying service to people with disabilities. This includes all public entities such as state and local government and any of its departments, agencies, and other instrumentalities. It includes those receiving funding of $2500 or more from state and local governments, most schools, colleges, and universities. Unlike Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which only overs programs receiving federal financial assistance, Title II extends to all the activities of state and local governments whether or not they receive federal funds.
Title III: Public Accommodations for places such as restaurants, hotels, doctor offices, grocery stores, schools, retail stores – any place that the public goes, may not discriminate on the basis of disability and must be made accessible. Accommodations must be made to remove any barriers if possible.
Title IV: Telecommunications must provide systems for those who are deaf such as TDD or similar devices with no additional charges being applied. Organizations must provide alternative methods of providing information that is easily usable and accessible to employees and consumers who are disabled.
How does the ADA pertain to your website?
With consumers now utilizing the Internet for everything from shopping, preparing their taxes, taking classes online, to doing their banking, Title III of the ADA has expanded from brick and mortar establishments to those who have a business on the Internet.
For those who use assistive devices, such as screen readers, Braille output devices, or interactive voiceover software and find the website is not accessible using their device, this may cause the user to leave the website, lodge a complaint or initiate litigation.
WCAG provides short videos explaining how many of these technologies work.
WCAG's video, "Web Accessibility Perspectives" provides basic insight on Perspectives.
What parts of my website must be accessible?
Any text content, images, buttons, links, items for sale, documents, forms and any other types of content you offer must be made available to people who have disabilities.
W3C Web Accessibility Initiative published international guidelines on December 11, 2008, called Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0). On June 5, 2018, WCAG 2.1 which provides 17 additional success criteria to address mobile accessibility, people with low vision and people with cognitive and learning disabilities.
How people with disabilities utilize a website?
If you wear glasses or contacts, you are using assistive technology to be able to see properly. For those with visual impairments which require more than glasses, such as color blind, low vision, and blind use special alternative views or may also use screen readers.
For website users who are hearing impaired, closed captioning allows them the use of video and a downloadable transcription of audio can be provided.
People with a physical handicap which makes it impossible to use a keyboard use special equipment, such as head pointers, eye movement devices, text to speech can be used as well. People with blindness, dyslexia and other learning disabilities also use text to speech.
This is a very brief list of assistive technologies. Because of the needed behaviors of a website to work properly with assistive technologies, a website should follow the WCAG guidelines.
Who is enforcing the ADA?
Enforcement of the ADA is under the Department of Justice (DOJ). There is an increase in the review of websites for non-accessibility to determine if the website is meeting accessibility requirements. Also, an increase in plaintiffs filing lawsuits which allege many businesses' websites are inaccessible.
What's the cost not having an accessible website?
Besides lost revenue from leaving out one out of every five potential consumer, users or prospects who could be purchasing your services if they had the capacity, there are also fines, lawsuit settlements, and attorney's fees for those who do not make their websites accessible.
The maximum penalty of the first violation that the DOJ imposes is $75,000. For subsequent violations, it's $150,000.
In 2017 alone, at least 814 federal lawsuits, including class actions were filed against companies who allegedly had inaccessible websites. Businesses such as Target, Winn Dixie, Home Depot all have been a Defendant in litigation. Target stores set a precedent in 2008 when it agreed to settle a $6 million lawsuit alleging that its website was not accessible to the blind. In Florida, Winn Dixie was sued by Juan Gil, who is blind. The two-day bench trial found that the store was in violation of the ADA, ordered to update their website to be accessible and awarded reasonable attorney's fees. These 2 examples of a short list of businesses, cities, universities, schools and other organizations who have been a party to a lawsuit.
Why have an accessible website?
Besides being a law, giving equal access to everyone is a socially responsible thing to do. Providing those with disabilities a method of using the assistive devices for their particular disability gives them independence to perform everyday tasks.
The Internet is such a large part of everyday living and has made so many tasks quick and easy, such as online banking and shopping for just about anything, paying a utility bill on your city's website, viewing the hours you are open, ordering a pizza, enjoying a conversation on a social network to filling out a job application. The list is now endless. It's just the right thing to do.
How can you make your website accessible?
For those who are not up for the steep learning curve of what and how to implement the WCAG requirements, hiring an accessibility professional is the best choice. Get ADA works with businesses, schools and web agencies who have clients with accessibility needs.
The process begins with an accessibility audit of your existing website to determine what errors are present.
With an Accessibility Report in hand, your team or ours can then made the needed changes shown on the Accessibility Report. Post change, we again audit the areas initially found to have issues to confirm the needed changes are complete.
Documents and PDFs must also be accessible. They are reviewed for their accessibility level. Remediation of the documents is performed.
Accessibility is a perpetual task.
If your website is active with new content, training for those who will be updating the website is required. Get ADA Accessible also offers Accessibility Assurance Program wherein we can take care of updating your website and scanning the website on a designated schedule.
It's most cost-effective to incorporate accessible from the very beginning of a web project when the design, page content, document, and forms are being determined.
Many agencies have turned to Get ADA Accessible for auditing of their design prior to the coding being done. For those who do not have an accessibility designer or accessibility developer, Get ADA Accessible has a full team of designers, developers and auditors who are ready to help you on the road to making the Internet accessible to all their visitors with an accessible website.

Self care often gets pushed back to the verrrrry bottom of our to do list, as we prioritise responsibilities, passions and the stresses of daily life. Whilst I will always be a strong advocate for women taking all the time they need to place the pieces back together after a long day, week or year - even a 5 minute self care session can make all the difference in the world.
Today, I'm sharing with you a lovingly put together list of 15 ways you can nourish your soul - in less than 5 minutes!
1. Make yourself a cup of herbal tea, and allow it to become a moving meditation. Slow down your breathing as the kettle boils. Sit somewhere quiet, and rather than focus on your thoughts, concentrate on each sip entering your mouth.
2. Buy yourself a bunch of flowers for once! Choose a colour that makes your heart sing, and place them either on your desk or next to your bedside table at home.
3. Pull an oracle card and listen to what the Universe has to say. My favourite decks are 'The Goddess Oracle' by Doreen Virtue and 'Self Care Cards' by Cheryl Richardson.
4. Choose a special candle to burn in your home or office. Find one whose aroma and colour really light you up, and burn it when you're feeling less than centred.
5. Go for a quick walk outside in the sunshine. Break up your day and mood by connecting with nature at your local park or beach - bonus points for taking your shoes off!
6. Watch an uplifting video on YouTube to inspire your spiritual growth. Some of my favourite channels are OWN, Marie Forleo and The Daily Love.
7. Get up early and watch the sunrise. Or finish work early enough to go and watch the sun set. This is one of my very favourite things to do, and gets me back in touch with what is important.
8. Reach out to a friend you haven't spoken to for a while - make sure it's someone positive who makes you feel good when you chat!
9. Even better, write an old fashioned letter to a loved one. Being such a tech based society, it's always a lovely surprise to receive something personal in the mail.
10. Listen to your favourite song. 'Don't Stop Til You Get Enough' by Michael Jackson and 'Thrift Shop' by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis always put a smile on my face.
11. A quick, hot shower can be a great way to wash off any stagnant energy from the body. Make sure that your body wash doesn't contain any SLS' (Sodium Lauryl Sulfates) which are very harmful to the skin. I really love to use Vanessa Megan's delicious blood orange elixir.
12. Another beautiful way to cleanse your body of the old and stuck is by spraying a cleansing mist over yourself. My absolute favourite is the Crystal Clear Mist by Shemana. This can also cleanse the space you're in - you can cleanse your office space first thing when no one is around!
13. Read a chapter from your book. If it feel like a long time since you had the time to read your book under a blanket with a mug of tea, then at least allow yourself to indulge in one chapter during the day - make sure to turn your phone on silent and avoid any interruptions during this mini break.
14. The queen of all yoga poses to relax and soothe the nervous system has to be legs up the wall (Viparita Karani). In this state, your body will be actively digesting anything you have eaten, as well as working to heal and repair your body. Also, hanging out with your legs up the wall is one of the best ways to help drain tension from the legs and feet. 5 minutes is great, 10-15 is better!
15. Plan your next weekend away, road trip, retreat, holiday. Have a good look at your schedule and block out some time to get away from it all. Even just the thought of an upcoming trip helps me to feel brighter and lighter!
What are your favourite ways to nourish your soul? Do you feel a noticeable difference after 5 minutes? I would love to hear from you in the comments below. Please also share this post with any sister who would benefit from some soul reflection on self care.

There were only fifteen strikes with a thousand workers or more in the United States last year.
With only 25,000 people on strike last year in a country with an active workforce of 157 million, it is absolutely no surprise that very few people have much direct experience in organizing a strike. Defanged by bad legal precedent and a broken labor law system, the strike hit its second-lowest year on record here in America.
At the same time, though, there have been several high profile strikes recently. CWA struck Verizon in 2016 and AT&T in 2017. In so doing, the union was able to fend off several horrendous attacks by management at both companies. 2018 has also had its share of high profile industrial action. West Virginia's teachers went out on strike in defiance of the law with some clever organizing and was able to wrestle several concessions out of a hostile government, and the strike fever has, at the time of writing, spread to Oklahoma and Kentucky, and Arizona is showing symptoms.
But organizing a strike isn't easy. It's a whole lot of preparation and work culminating in a period of personal and economic uncertainty for every person on the line. All things being equal, most people just want to go to work, do their jobs, and go home.
All things aren't equal, though, and that's why it's necessary to show the kind of work that goes into preparing for a strike.

National Security / ATAC Program
Citizen Complaint
U.S. Attorneys » District of Connecticut » News And Press Releases
West Haven Man Involved in Meriden Carjacking Sentenced to More Than 6 Years in Federal Prison
John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that DON MEEKER, 33, of West Haven, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Vanessa L. Bryant in Hartford to 73 months of imprisonment, followed by four years of supervised release, for his role in a Meriden carjacking
According to the evidence presented during Meeker's trial, on January 1, 2016, two men from out of state who were driving a rented 2015 Volkswagen Passat were victims of an armed carjacking in the vicinity of Hobart Street and Myrtle Street in Meriden. The victims reported that they had asked an individual, later identified as Kyle Valentine, for directions at a gas station. Valentine told the victims to follow a car in which Valentine was a passenger. After traveling a few minutes, the car stopped. Valentine and Elbert Llorrens then exited the car and approached the Passat. Llorens pointed a handgun at one of the victims who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, opened the door and stated "I want everything." The victims exited the car and Llorens and Valentine stole their wallets and cell phones and then drove away in the Passat.
The investigation revealed that Meeker drove the car that the carjacking victims followed, and that Meeker provided the handgun to Llorens. After the robbery, Meeker, Llorens and Valentine spilt the money stolen from the victims.
On December 12, 2017, a jury found Meeker guilty of one count of taking a motor vehicle from a person by force and violence or by intimidation.
Llorens and Valentine, both of New Haven, previously pleaded guilty and have been sentenced.
This matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the East Haven, Meriden, Milford, New Haven and West Haven Police Departments. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Douglas P. Morabito and Patrick F. Caruso.

Daily Dose Pick: Anselm Kiefer
Arguably Germany's best working artist, Anselm Kiefer creates earthy paintings, symbol-laden sculptures, and poetic works on paper, exploring alchemy, mythology, history, and mysticism.
Kiefer, who studied with transformative artist Joseph Beuys in Düsseldorf, came into his own in the '70s and '80s with large-scale, expressive paintings of decaying interiors and barren landscapes, which were interpreted as exorcising the demons of Germany's World War II guilt.
A darling of international museum collections and exhibitions, Kiefer works out of a massive factory in the south of France, which he has made into a gesamtkunstwerk, or total artwork. He recently added Opera Director to his resume with In the Beginning, a hybrid theatrical production and art installation at the Opera National de Paris.
View a survey of Kiefer's early landscapes, check out his works on paper, watch a film about his work, visit his Salzburg solo show, read about his Paris opera, and buy
his massive Guggenheim retrospective book.

Q: CentOS kernel version 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 bugs As far as I updated my centos ver 6.4 to 6.5, the new kernel (2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64) disappointed me! It hangs when I want to plug my external hard to laptop or hangs when I start virtual windows 7 under VMWARE 9.0.1!
I don't have these problems when I boot linux with kernel version 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 (Previous version).
Did any one face to these problems? And what is solution?
Update: Pluging external hard drive fixed with formating... But booting win7 under vmware in kernel version 431 still remains!
Update 2: Problem exist even with updating kernel to 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64!

A: I would either downgrade and pin the version of the kernel, (you can do this by excluding that package via the yum .repo files), until a future version comes out or download and compile my own version of the kernel.
I've not experienced any issues such as your're explaining with those versions of the Kernel or CentOS 6.5.

A: That's a known problem with the 2.6.32-431 kernel. It happens to me on two different computers.
I found a Red Hat support case for it:
https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/629063
And reported at vmware
https://communities.vmware.com/thread/463825
I backed off to the previous kernel until a fixed kernel becomes available.

A: You should be able to run the virtual box from GUI. Boot with another kernel version (you can choose the kernel-version from the extended boot-menu), sign in as root and do yum remove kernel-2.6.32-431.1.2.el6.x86_64. Simple and effective.

"I am pleased that people are heeding our call to roll up their sleeve to help stop the spread of COVID-19. But there's more work to do, and I encourage everyone to make the best choice to protect themselves, their loved ones and their community — get vaccinated."
Under the B.C. Vaccine Card program, British Columbians must receive at least one dose of vaccine by Sep. 13 and must be fully vaccinated by Oct. 24 to participate in certain recreational and social events.
Anyone looking to get vaccinated can walk in to vaccine clinics to book an appointment or visit any one of a number of pop-up clinics across the province.
As of Aug. 25, 83.5 per cent of eligible British Columbians have received at least one dose of vaccine and 75.4 per cent have been fully vaccinated.

On the subject of minimizing brokers in your bodybuilding existing, you will discover commonly only two text that get there at thoughts: ECA and Clen. ECA may be the simple,this stuff works lawful option for weight-loss used by pretty several newbie and intermediate bodybuilders when preparing to your display. Innovative bodybuilders (best sum NPC and qualified athletes) will normally use ECA at the side of Clenbuterol for an extremely synergistic excess fat reduction affect. Both of those are practical alternatives, but Clenbuterol really should only be used immediately after ECA is no for just a extended period of time ample to reach wanted overall physique system fat ranges.
Clen was originally created for procedure approach of lung illnesses, which include bronchial asthma. Athletes soon discovered that taking it brought about even much larger muscle mass and reduce physique further fat, just put. Scientifically, Clen tends to make the utilization of oxygen inside the bloodstream far much more inexpensive. In severe life style terms for bodybuilders, this interprets to lessened muscle mass atrophy, greater process mass, and more quickly burning of saved procedure excess fat. Clen is basically a most loved amid primary newbie bodybuilders, at the same time since the bigger component of skilled bodybuilders to make use of it to a point main nearly a exhibit, normally stacked with ECA.
Clenbuterol is usually a incredibly anabolic drug. Its positive effects are felt almost immediately, which means that the foundation for side effects begin almost immediately also. Short term, the user may well feel overheated, nauseous, shaky, and anxious. The extended term side effects of clen use primarily include heart arrhythmia, heart failure, and heart damage. It tends to make the technique move far more quickly, plus the heart is definitely part of the method. Clen need to genuinely never be taken year-round. Bodybuilders really should only consider clen for short-term use, to lose bodyfat immediately before a show.
If you're new to bodybuilding or competing in a local NPC level current, you are probably not in a position to be all set for Clenbuterol. ECA is definitely the compound you should really be utilizing at this time. As your competition bodyweight approaches 220 (240+ off-season) and you've peaked for four or a lot more shows, it might be time to add Clen to your pre-season regimen.


Communications can be daunting for large, complex programs and projects. Project managers live or die with communications.
How can we ensure stakeholders get the right information, at the right time, and in the right manner?
Grab a cup of coffee or tea. Allow me to share a story and the lessons learned.
Once upon a time, I helped managed a program to implement several new software applications and build interfaces to third parties. The program was comprised of 45 project teams with more than 150 people. Many individuals worked on two to four projects concurrently.
Company and vendor resources included program managers, project managers, business analysts, developers, testers, mainframe resources, network resources, and many department resources. The vendor resources rotated on site a week and off site a week.
For every person added to a program or project, the complexity of communications increases exponentially. For 125 people, there are 7,750 communication channels. For 150 people, there are 11,175 communication channels.
For this reason, wise program and project managers keep their teams small and ramp up communications when larger teams are necessary. Let's look at some ways to improve communications and our chance for success.
What Did I Learn From The Software Program?
Knight a Communications Manager. We assigned a Communications Manager early in the program. This was not a full time position, but there was one person who consistently focused on communications.
Develop and Maintain a Communication Plan. The Program Manager worked with the Communications Manager to define and maintain a Communication Plan.
Communicate Through Multiple Channels. In our program, we needed to communicate to more than 1,000 people in our home office and remote offices. We delivered the message through multiple channels: meetings, newsletters, emails, internal blog, and recorded video – you get the idea.
Focus on Interdependent Relationships. Project Managers and their teams tend to live in silos. We must be intentional to ask how our work will impact others. During our enterprise program, we had a weekly meeting for this purpose. The Program Manager asked the Project Managers to help identify dependencies, discuss related risks, and develop plans.
Maintain Risks and Issues Registers. The Program Manager and the Project Managers should maintain their Issues and Risks Registers. When possible, make these registers available to all Project Managers. The transparency aids with communication.
Enhance Virtual Communications. Program and Project Managers should utilize appropriate tools such as web conferencing, teleconferencing, and project management information systems to facilitate virtual communications.
Question: What are the top two to three things you have seen work when it comes to improving communications for large projects or programs? Share your constructive comments below!

Q: Symfony 4 Custom annotation problem @ORM\Entity does not exist as part of the development of my CMS that I publish in a while .. I am facing a problem.
error :

[Semantical Error] The annotation "@Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Entity" in class ScyLabs\GiftCodeBundle\Entity\GiftCode does not exist, or could not be auto-loaded.

I explain to you ,
Basically, in the project, everything is Overridable, it is already the case, with configurations in the file services.yaml.
For obvious reasons of simplicity, and an immediate need, to allow me to create a second bundle inheriting from it. I told myself that doing my "Override" or saying to the project: "Hello here I am, I am a class uses me" is very convenient with annotations (and much clearer).
So, I create a custom annotation (So far so good ..) That you find here ..
<?php
/**
 * Created by PhpStorm.
 * User: alex
 * Date: 04/11/2019
 * Time: 14:25
 */

namespace ScyLabs\NeptuneBundle\Annotation\ScyLabsNeptune;

/**
 * @Annotation
 * @Target({"CLASS"})
 * @Attributes({
 *  @Attribute("key",type="string"),
 *  @Attribute("classNameSpace",type="string"),
 * })
 */
class Override
{
    /**
     * @var string
     */
    public $key;
    /**
     * @var string
     */
    public $classNameSpace;

    public function __construct(array $opts) {

        $this->key = $opts['value'];
        $this->classNameSpace = $opts['class'];

    }
}

Well, my annotation was in place, I will now put it in an entity, .. As here
<?php
/**
 * Created by PhpStorm.
 * User: alex
 * Date: 05/11/2019
 * Time: 10:20
 */

namespace ScyLabs\GiftCodeBundle\Entity;

use ScyLabs\NeptuneBundle\Annotation\ScyLabsNeptune;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 *  @ScyLabsNeptune\Override("gift",class="ScyLabs\GiftCodeBundle\Entity\GiftCode")
 *  @ORM\Entity()
 */
class GiftCode
{

}

Why do that ? And in fact, everything is automated in the neptune, except special case, it will automatically generate all the URLs necessary for the proper functioning of an entity (ADD / EDIT / DELETE / LIST) ... And for this, it must indicate to the project that the entity exists, and that it must be part of this system.
So, until now I use a very complete configuration in services.yaml, in which I fill a table keys => value, corresponding to "key" => "Namespace"
In my case: "gift" => "ScyLabs \ GiftCodeBundle \ Entity \ GiftCode"
In short, suddenly, for override, I do a treatment in a compilation step
<?php
/**
 * Created by PhpStorm.
 * User: alex
 * Date: 01/08/2018
 * Time: 09:46
 */

namespace ScyLabs\NeptuneBundle;

class ScyLabsNeptuneBundle extends Bundle
{
    public function getContainerExtension()
    {

// Compilation de l'extension
        return new ScyLabsNeptuneExtension();
    }
}

And in this extension, I have this piece of code that makes everything
$bundles = require $projectDir.'/config/bundles.php';

        foreach ($bundles as $bundle => $env){

            if($bundle === ScyLabsNeptuneBundle::class)
                continue;
            if(method_exists(new $bundle,'getParent') && (new $bundle)->getParent() === ScyLabsNeptuneBundle::class){

                $reader = new AnnotationReader();

                $reflClass = new \ReflectionClass(GiftCode::class);

                $classAnotations = $reader->getClassAnnotation($reflClass,"Override");

                foreach ($classAnotations as $classAnotation){
                    if($classAnotation instanceof Override && class_exists($classAnotation->classNameSpace)){
                        $config['override'][$classAnotation->key] = $classAnotation->classNameSpace;                    }
                }
            }
        }

From what I suspect after a lot of research, at the compilation stage of my extension, @ORM \ Entity, and or / / Autowire, it seems not compiled yet.
The problem is that suddenly, when I get my personal annotation (Override), I can not recover @ORM \ Entity, and I can not necessarily remove it because it would not work anymore as an entity.
Why do that here? Because behind I have another step of comoilation (A CompilationPass)
$container->addCompilerPass(new ResolveDoctrineTargetEntitiesPass(),PassConfig::TYPE_BEFORE_OPTIMIZATION,1000);

Who, redefined the Entities that doctrine will call in relation to the painting that I send to him (you know, the one I defined just before).
With this I give the possibility of override entities with an identical name.
What to do ?? .. I confess that I can not do more ...
Thanks in advance friends;)

A: By default, the annotation reader does not use the same autoloader as classes.
You need to tell him how to load the annotation class like that :
AnnotationRegistry::registerUniqueLoader('class_exists');

For more explanation, you can look at the doc https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-annotations/en/1.6/annotations.html#registering-annotations

A: thanks for you response.
But it don't work and this fonction is deprecated and removed to Annotations 2.0.
BUT , when i try i found a resolution.
When i follow your link and try the code in the page , i try this function
AnnotationRegistry#registerFile($file)

For get @ORM\Entity file path , i use
new \ReflectionClass(ORM\Entity::class);

And , this work.
I deleted AnnotationRegistry#registerFile($file) function , and this work.
Thanks you for help ;)
You'r the best
