The idea that the internet is an ever-changing entity is not a new one, but how that entity is changing is filled with new and consistently innovative concepts. If these changes confuse you or make you scratch your head occasionally, you're not alone. The more new concepts that emerge, the harder it is to make sure you're being safe while keeping up with the curve.
One major concept that is constantly gaining attention is one that is known as the Internet of Identities. Understanding this idea is easier if you're familiar with the Internet of Things. According to Forbes, the Internet of Things (IoT) is defined as connecting anything with an on/off switch to the internet. This includes cell phones, computers, thermostats, lamps, etc.
The Internet of Identities takes this concept one step further in that those "things" that are connected to the internet will be communicating with each other, performing tasks, storing data, and essentially learning each day as they complete the tasks we've given them.
The devices we connect to the internet will develop identities, gaining attributes that must be understood so that good things may come out of it and that bad things may be prevented. This process is meant to make our lives easier but will come with a number of obstacles and issues that we as a society must keep an eye out for.
What to Expect with the Internet of Identities?
When thinking of using the Internet of Identities for business purposes, one realizes what a massive overhaul that will be. The number of devices and users that will be required for a business to implement this idea successfully are astronomical—more than 21 billion by 2020.
Not only are the numbers staggering, but one must keep in mind that those devices and/or users may be temporary. Creating and managing such an infrastructure will be quite a task.
Additionally, it's impossible not to worry about our privacy and safety. Surrendering our personal information to devices that are constantly communicating with each other is a scary thought, especially in today's world of cyber theft.
On top of these real concerns, to maintain availability, high-performance, and security, the Internet of Identities will require continuous monitoring. It is safe to say that humans will not be able to keep paffce, so keeping the Internet of Identities running successfully will depend upon artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms that can separate normal from anomalous behavior.
One result of all of these changes would be a push toward larger corporations using the cloud. The need for constant connectivity and processing power will make this move absolutely necessary. Companies will need to create a larger infrastructure as well as hire experts in order to innovate and maintain the constantly changing devices and their communications.
The Internet of Identities may feel like it is the stuff of the future, but when you stop to think about it, you'll realize that this is already happening. Alexa tells your thermostat when to switch on and off or your fridge to keep things at a certain temperature, and soon, she may be doing a lot more.
What do you think about the emerging reality of the Internet of Identities? Is it terrifying or a salvation?

Javalakar Uma Devi (born 26 September 1959) is a judge of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, in India. She gained public attention in 2020 after ordering the Central Bureau of Investigation (India's federal investigative agency) to probe social media posts that criticized judges of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, and also accused the Andhra Pradesh police of collaborating with political figures to attack the judiciary.

Life
Uma Devi was born in 1959, in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, to Javalakar Gnanoba Rao and Javalakar Thulasibai. She earned a Bachelor in Commerce from the Sri Satya Sai Institute of Higher Learning in Anantapur in 1982, and a Bachelor in Law from Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapur in 1986. She also earned a Masters in Law from Annamalai University in Chennai.

Career
Uma Devi enrolled with the Bar Council of Andhra Pradesh in 1986 and initially practiced in district courts in Anantapur. She was appointed as a District Judge in 1996, and has served as the principal district judge in several places, including Kurnool, Madanapalle, Warangal, Visakhapatnam, and Hyderabad. She was later appointed the Chief Judge of the Court of Small Causes in Hyderabad.

On 17 January 2017, she was appointed a judge in the High Court of Andhra Pradesh.

In October 2020, following criticism of the Andhra Pradesh judiciary by members of the YSR Congress Party on social media, Uma Devi and another judge, Rakesh Kumar, directed India's federal investigative agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), to examine these social media posts to determine if there was a 'conspiracy' behind them, and submit a report to them in two months. Uma Devi and Kumar also authorised the CBI to file a First Information Report, i.e. a police document that begins the criminal process, against persons making these social media posts, at its discretion. Uma Devi and Kumar described these criticisms as "perilous to democracy." The order was widely reported.

Judge clears way for ADM elevator demolition
By Arvin Donley
BUFFALO, NEW YORK, US – A New York Supreme Court judge on Jan. 4 cleared the way for the demolition of a damaged elevator owned by ADM Milling Co.
Judge Emilio Colaiacovo rejected a preliminary injunction sought by the Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, Architecture & Culture to prevent the emergency demolition of the rare brick box-style elevator with steel bins.
After the 125-year-old elevator, which has not been operational since 1981, was damaged in a windstorm last month, the City of Buffalo's department of permits and inspections issued an emergency demolition permit to ADM.
In its demolition application to city officials, ADM noted that there have been several incidents in recent years in which debris has fallen from the building.
The Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, Architecture & Culture believed the elevator could be repaired and went to court seeking an injunction against demolition.
"Our primary concern is always the safety of the public, our neighbors, and our employees," said Jackie Anderson, ADM spokesperson. "The court's decision now allows us to actively address the significant safety concerns the structure poses on-site and at adjacent properties and roadways. Pursuant to the order, we will begin the required demolition activities without delay to address the immediate safety concerns.
"In the meantime, we are identifying artifacts from the structure that can potentially be preserved safely. We are also reaching out to potential partners to discuss ways in which those items can be displayed and shared with the community to celebrate the legacy of the structure for years to come."
Known as the Great Northern elevator, it was once the nation's largest grain storage facility when it was built in 1897 and is believed to be the nation's only brick-box elevator still standing.
The damaged grain elevator is located next to one of the nation's largest operating flour mills. With a daily production capacity of 22,600 cwts, the ADM Milling plant in Buffalo ranks as the 17th largest mill in the country, according to Sosland Publishing Co.'s 2022 Grain & Milling Annual.

Q: LayoutGrid SetRow and SetColumn not working as intended I have code that creates a button for each object in a list.  When each object is created it is given a name that corresponds to the row and column (i.e. name = row1col2).  Each button is generated dynamically, added to the grid and then the row/column are set.  At a later time I need to gather the "selected" button data so I can perform actions on the data they represent.  When I attempt to get the control data from the buttons everything is fine, except for the grid row/column data.  It remains the same for all of the selected rows and columns in a grid.
Creating buttons:
for (int i = 1; i < row.StackCount+1; i++)
{
    //create button for the column
    stackButton = new Button();
    stackButton.Height = ((newRow.Height - 2));
    stackButton.Width = ((newRow.Width / row.StackCount) - 2);
    stackButton.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);

    //add the button border
    stackButton.BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black);
    stackButton.BorderThickness = new Thickness(1);
    stackButton.Style = Application.Current.Resources["flatButton"] as Style;

    //add the button name
    stackButton.Name = "Row" + row.LineNumber + "Col" + (i - 1).ToString();

    //add the event handler to the button
    stackButton.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(stackButton_Click);

    //add a new column
    newRow.ColumnDefinitions.Add(new ColumnDefinition() { Width = new GridLength(newRow.Width, GridUnitType.Star) });

    //put the button into the grid
    newRow.Children.Add(stackButton);
    Grid.SetRow(stackButton, 0);
    Grid.SetColumn(stackButton, i-1);
}

Getting the Button data back
g = (Grid)b.Child;
foreach (Button currentButton in g.Children)
{
    if (((SolidColorBrush)currentButton.Background).Color == Colors.Gray)
    {
        //create a stack object
        buttonData.StartDate = DateTime.Now;
        buttonData.LotNumber = LotDisplay.Text;
        buttonData.RoomID = SilverGlobals.CurrentRoom.RoomID;

        buttonData.RoomCol = Grid.GetColumn(currentButton);
        buttonData.RoomRow = Grid.GetRow(currentButton);

        buttonData.TrayCount = int.Parse(currentButton.Content.ToString());
        buttonData.Status = 0;

        //add stack object to list of stack objects
        stacks.Add(buttonData);
    }
}

I know this must be something small I am missing.  Anyone got any ideas?

A: Although the comment in your second section of code says:
//create a stack object

you don't actually create a new stack object so it is simply overwriting the single instance of buttonData on each iteration.  The values for row and column that you see at the end are the last iteration's values.
The net effect is that stacks is a collection of all the same instance of an object instead of a collection of separate instances.

A: This is just a shot in the dark, but based on this question and this question, it might be that you need to set the Row and Column properties before you add the button to its parent - something like this:
//put the button into the grid
Grid.SetRow(stackButton, 0);
Grid.SetColumn(stackButton, i-1);
newRow.Children.Add(stackButton);

The pre-game ramble: Notts County
The pre-game ramble: Notts County August 5, 2017
The big day is upon us. Our first taste of horrible, nasty modern day League Two brings Notts County to the Ricoh Arena.
Welcome to 2017/18 – AKA Operation Promotion. You can say it. It's fine. It's not going to break the spell or activate an anti-Sky Blues curse if we dare suggest that Coventry City Football Club should be aiming (and expecting) to get promoted from League Two this season.
But Neil, I've been excited before and look where it got us.
I'm not saying it's a given or that it's going to be easy. I'm not even saying that I'm overtly confident myself, because like all of you we're having to work from scratch with so many of our players. I don't know how good this squad is.
I'm just saying that eventually we're going to have to stop allowing history dictate our future and what we deem as achievable for this club.
There is no cosmic force preventing Coventry City from succeeding. A lifetime of mediocrity isn't written in the stars. You can be certain Mark Robins won't be settling for simply existing in this league, and I'm so glad of that because we all need to start acting in a way that's befitting of a promotion-hungry club.
We're a massive club with a big squad, a manager we trust, and while we don't know much about the new intake, there are still plenty of players that we know are capable of real quality. It frustrates me immensely that targeting success is still seen as such a taboo. We need that common goal, and for once it needs to be a bloody high one. 10th place is no good to us this season.
Tasked with giving us our first lesson in League Two life: Kevin Nolan's Notts County.
How are they getting on?
Things were looking extremely dicey for County last season as they went almost three months without a league win, losing ten on the spin in the process. Fortunately for them, Kevin Nolan came in during January and conjured up a flurry of positive results to turn things around and eventually bring them home for a 16th place finish.
With the immediate challenge of Football League survival successful navigated, Nolan's been out crafting a squad capable of sustaining that uptick in performance levels. While by no means a large squad, it's certainly a familiar looking one on the face of it, with higher-level pedigree prominent throughout. Alan Smith, Richard Duffy, Jon Stead, Jonathan Forte, Shola Ameobi and Nicky Hunt are all names that we'll recognise.
Who could cause us trouble?
While it's tempting to showcase the bigger reputations as potential game-changers, it's the lesser-known names who may just catch the eye…
On-loan Jorge Grant was instrumental in County's turnaround last season. There were offers from other clubs during the summer but he returns to the Magpies for the full campaign this time around hoping to continue in the same vein.
Nolan's also brought in seasoned League Two attacker Lewis Alessandra. The 28 year old grabbed 9 goals for relegated Hartlepool Utd last season, and while by no means prolific throughout his career, has certainly shown his capabilities at this level.
Word on the street is that their fans don't really fancy Jon Stead to be the twenty-goal striker needed to propel them into play-off contenders, but that's not to say he's not a threat. I'm certainly wary of his presence.
Sky Blues team news
We're looking set for a variation of a basic 4-4-2, with Beavon and McNulty leading the line up top. As I write this piece the name Duckens Nazon is being forced into my consciousness as the Haitian striker joins us on loan from Wolves. He's quick, tricky, and completely unfamiliar with our team; in other words exactly the sort of player that's chucked into the squad at the last minute and expected to perform. He may make the bench.
New keeper Liam O'Brien has arrived from Portsmouth and shaping up to be our number one, but with three keepers on the books who'll feel they too have legitimate claims for a place between the posts, the pressure is very much on. Dominant performances are expected if he's to justify leapfrogging Burge and RCC in the pecking-order.
His Portsmouth captain from last season Michael Doyle will also make his Ricoh return and is set to play a key role as this season's midfield resident bastard. He's a welcome addition to our squad of softies.
Jack Grimmer has impressed in pre-season and is likely to displace popular Dion Kelly-Evans at right back, although don't be surprised if brother Devon starts to make moves this season as an attacking wildcard in the squad.
One of the big calls this season will be at left back as Robins ponders between the solidity of Chris Stokes, or the directness and pace of Haynes. Longer term my vote goes to Haynes, especially as a balancing counterpoint to Grimmer on the other side of the pitch, although injury means that's Stokes gets the nod unchallenged this weekend.
A McDonald and Willis pairing seems the likely centre half partnership to make up the back four.
Meanwhile Ben Stevenson – the best footballer at the club – looks unlikely to fit quite so neatly in to Robins' preferred midfield two, so expect him to miss out with new signing Liam Kelly joining Doyle in a new-look midfield hub.
As we all know, exact score predictions are utter bullshit and are no indicator of football knowledge (contrary to what Mark Lawrenson would have you believe). And yet by the same measure they are also quite fun and round off these rambles well. I'll play your game, football. But please know that I don't like doing it.
So, a home game to start off the campaign with a bunch of new players I have no real idea about and a demanding Mark Robins at the helm, you say? It's an intriguing combination. It could be tight but I'm saying we can win this one.

"That time I found out I had a secret half-brother".
Last September, I discovered I had a secret half-brother.
He is in his early 40s. He is married, with two young boys. He happens to have the same first name as my boyfriend. And he lives in the same city as me.
There. I've said it. It feels like I've got a weight off my chest, even though I'm remaining anonymous here. Because over the past year, I've barely told a soul.
My half-brother is the result of a relationship my father had with a woman before he met and married my mum.
The woman was separated from her husband, and it was a planned pregnancy. Yet one day, without any warning, she just up and left my dad, and went back to her husband.
As a final insult, she named my father's son after her husband, cut off all contact, told everyone it was her husband's child, and moved on with her life.
My dad only got to see his son once, when my half-brother was a little boy. And until recently, my half-brother had no idea about my dad.
He was raised believing that his mother's husband was his biological father. I can't begin to imagine how it must have felt for him to learn that his parents had deceived him for four decades. He must have felt like his whole life had been a lie. He must now be questioning everything.
My mother also had no clue. Nor did anyone from my father's side of the family, or any of his friends. He never said a word. Until last year, when he finally felt the need to tell us all. That was a fun conversation.
At first, I was holding out hope that it was a mistake, that my dad would not turn out to be my half-brother's biological father after all. But then, after a few months of sporadic contact, my dad's ex sent him a photo album of happy snaps taken over the years.
And after seeing how weirdly similar he looked to my dad, I now know there is no question about it.
Meet Mireille
Introducing The Undone....
In fact, one of the photos of him as a child looked so similar to my sister at the same age that I gasped out loud.
In the first few months after finding out, we knew nothing about our half-brother, besides his first and last name, which were both common. We didn't know if he would ever find out about us. So my sister and I spent endless amounts of time trawling Facebook, trying to figure out who he was. We came up with elaborate, ridiculous plans, plans involving disguises and road trips and covert missions, to try and track him down. In hindsight, it was probably a way of dealing with the shock, by trying to diffuse the situation with humour.
But now, he knows. His mother finally told him the truth. Apparently, he doesn't have any interest in contacting my father, or finding out about his half-sisters.
And to be honest, I don't have any desire to meet him either, or in us being one big happy dysfunctional family. I feel terribly, terribly sorry for him, of course I do. I wish him well, and I hope that this doesn't affect his relationship with his parents. I hope that it doesn't affect his relationship with his siblings. But I just can't feel any sort of connection towards him. Most of the time, it doesn't feel real.
What I do feel is anger. Anger on behalf of my mum, who has had to deal with this mess in her 60s. Anger on behalf of my dad, who lost his first and only son. And anger on behalf of my half-brother, who has had to find all this out as a grown man in middle age.
So here's my final message to my half-brother, who I will probably never meet: I'm so sorry this has happened to you. I hope you have a long and happy life. I hope you are a good man, a good husband, and a good father to your own young boys. And I hope you can put this behind you, and find peace with your family.
Editor's note: the author of this piece is known to Mamamia and has chosen to remain anonymous to avoid any distress to her family. Thank you for your respect of her privacy and your understanding.

Wondering 5 years ago
Long over due post, however the pain is fresh. I recently found out that I have a different father and my biological father is actually a church minister I've known all of my life.
He knows that I now know the truth but treats me like a family friend in front of people.
Church members know and advice has been "leave it / learn to accept this is how it is / deal with it or leave it.
In the world outside of church this kind of behaviour/approach would be seen as psychologically, emotionally and spiritually abusive and quite disgusting.
How do you 'move on' from church hurt if it is constant. Why do churches wonder why people leave and refuse to return when they behave in such an unacceptable manner? Is this why some unbelievers see church folk as brain washed? Brain washed into watching people suffer abuse while they stand by and state "I'm praying for you". Mmmmmm lovely!
I believe that Christians who deny their children need to understand that they must honour their God-given titles of 'FATHER' so that they are honouring the Word of God. They must be honouring the Word of God in order to legitimately lead His people to live by the Word.
Emma 6 years ago
When I was 17 (I'm now 43) my mum told me about a 1/2 brother her parents forced her to give up for adoption prior to my Dad coming on the scene. I think it was meant to convince me to never have sex. I remember his birthday is November, I think he was 5 years older than me which would mean November 1966 or Nov 1967.
I often wonder what to do with this information, at the moment wanting to protect my mum means waiting till she passes but is it then too late to try to get involved?
me too 6 years ago
Emma, I'm in a similar situation. My father had a child before he met my mother. My dad has never told me, my mum told me. The baby was put up for adoption. I know it was a boy. My father lived in a different country. I would love to try and find him but I can't because of my Dad and I wouldn't even know where to start as I don't even know what year he was born. But he is my brother...


George H. Bailey - a male celebrity - born on Tuesday December 22nd 1896, in Melksham, England,.
George H. Bailey is practical, down to earth with strong ideas about right and wrong. He is orderly, organized, systematic and controlled, and once committed - he employs decisive and methodical steps to problems solving, without giving up easily.
George seeks to establish a solid foundation, and would rather use hard work and long hours to build a business or career than search for "get rich quick" schemes. He has great potential for success, but only after putting out effort and overcoming the limitations he so often encounters. Courageous and a true survivor, he is a builder and the foundation of any enterprise, and his hard work and practical values pay off to provide George H. Bailey with the rewards he seeks and deserves.
Justice and honesty are sacred to Bailey, making him reliable and dependable, and quite often - a cornerstone in the community. Also, though not a typical idealist, George H. Bailey is willing to work for a better world in a realistic way.
George H. Bailey works well with others, but it is important that he would have his own responsibility and well-defined task, because he performs better when his responsibilities are not overlapping with those of others.
Due to the rare discipline and perseverance that Bailey possesses, not everyone can keep up with him, and he has to be careful not to be bossy and rude. He can be also rigid in his ideas and get stuck in convention or too quick in judging his fellow man.
George H. Bailey tends to be quite adaptable, and he finds it easy to fit into most social set ups and vocational fields.
Learning to be wisely assertive is a major lesson to be taken by George H. Bailey throughout his life.
April 26th 2019 is a busy day for George H. Bailey, and demanding, even to the point of requiring self-sacrifice.
It is also a day where deadlines and forgotten duties manage to catch up with George somehow.

Q: R, awk, sed: merge bins and output central overlaps and then central + neighboring overlaps I have two files with some ranges which I want to overlap and and retrieve the results based on exact match and partial match. An example will make it clear.
fileA:

chr1    450 850 TF3 G3  chr1    600     800     E3

Uptil this step I can do things but the next step is for which I need your help.
Here I want to first subset those lines

*

*which are having 1 match only (e.g. row 1 of output file, irrespective to the overlap size)

*if there are two matches (e.g. row 5 and 6 of output) then the 'central row' which has the most overlap (that will be row 6 as overlap is 200 as compared to row 5 where overlap is 150)

*if there are 3 or more than 3 matches (e.g. row 3 of output which is complete overlap but the row 2 and 4 are neighboring rows which have partial overlap, 150 and 50, respectively) then I want to return only the central row which will be row 3 in this case.

Later, I want to retrieve the first neighbors and then 2nd neigbors and so on, because in actuall datasets it could happen that one bin in file B will overlap with maximum of 5 or 7 bins in file A.
So, basically what I want is first get all the central overlaps, then central + 1st neighbors, then central + 2nd neighbors and so on.
Following this rationale, my first results will be:
Result1 (Central overlaps):
chr1    100 250 TF1 G1  chr1    200     400     E1
chr1    250 650 TF2 G2  chr1    400     600     E2
chr1    450 850 TF3 G3  chr1    600     800     E3

Result2 (Central + 1st neighbor):
chr1    100 250 TF1 G1  chr1    200     400     E1
chr1    250 650 TF2 G2  chr1    200     400     E1
chr1    250 650 TF2 G2  chr1    400     600     E2
chr1    250 650 TF2 G2  chr1    600     800     E3
chr1    450 850 TF3 G3  chr1    400     600     E2
chr1    450 850 TF3 G3  chr1    600     800     E3

If possible, I would like to separately retrieve only the neighboring rows but not the central ones.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

A: this is not the full solution since I couldn't comprehend additional requirements on my time budget, but perhaps this will get you started.
Assuming the files are sorted by the first key...
join fileB fileA |
awk '{diff=($3<$7?$3:$7)-($2>$6?$2:$6)} diff>0{print $0, diff}' |
sort -k1,1 -k9nr |
awk '!a[$1,$2,$3]++'

chr1 250 650 TF2 G2 400 600 E2 200
chr1 450 850 TF3 G3 600 800 E3 200
chr1 100 250 TF1 G1 200 400 E1 50

the last column shows the overlap amount, perhaps will be useful for the next steps as well.
UPDATE
with slight modification of the last awk you can get the second and third neighbors as well
$ join fileB fileA | ...| awk '!(a[$1,$2,$3]++-1)'
chr1 250 650 TF2 G2 200 400 E1 150
chr1 450 850 TF3 G3 400 600 E2 150

$ join fileB fileA | ... | awk '!(a[$1,$2,$3]++-2)'
chr1 250 650 TF2 G2 600 800 E3 50

in your output you have chr1    250 650 listed three times, perhaps it's a typo or I complete misunderstood what you're trying to do here...
Alternatively, you can mark the order on the records and do filtering based on that.
$ join fileB fileA | ... | awk '{print a[$1,$2,$3]++, $0}' | sort -k1n

0 chr1 100 250 TF1 G1 200 400 E1 50
0 chr1 250 650 TF2 G2 400 600 E2 200
0 chr1 450 850 TF3 G3 600 800 E3 200
1 chr1 250 650 TF2 G2 200 400 E1 150
1 chr1 450 850 TF3 G3 400 600 E2 150
2 chr1 250 650 TF2 G2 600 800 E3 50

here the first column indicates neighbor number, where 0 is the central.
Pulling all together, you can extract the desired fields to separate files
join fileB fileA                            |
awk '    {diff=($3<$7?$3:$7)-($2>$6?$2:$6)}
  diff>0 {print $0,diff}'                   |
sort -k1,1 -k9nr                            |
awk '{print a[$1,$2,$3]++, $0}'             |
sort -k1n                                   |
awk '{file=($1==0)?"central":"neighbor"$1;
      print $2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9 > file}'

creates these files.
==> central <==
chr1 100 250 TF1 G1 200 400 E1
chr1 250 650 TF2 G2 400 600 E2
chr1 450 850 TF3 G3 600 800 E3

==> neighbor1 <==
chr1 250 650 TF2 G2 200 400 E1
chr1 450 850 TF3 G3 400 600 E2

==> neighbor2 <==
chr1 250 650 TF2 G2 600 800 E3

Note that, all of this can be combined in one awk script, but I think it's easier to understand (and update if needed) in this form.

The response of Monterey Bay to the 2010 Chilean earthquake,
The primary frequencies contained in the arrival sequence produced by the tsunami from the Chilean earthquake of 2010 in Monterey Bay were extracted to determine the seiche modes that were produced. Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) and Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) were employed to extract the primary frequencies of interest. The wave train from the Chilean tsunami lasted for at least four days due to multipath arrivals that may not have included reflections from outside the bay but most likely did include secondary undulations, and energy trapping in the form of edge waves, inside the bay. The SSA decomposition resolved oscillations with periods of 52-57, 34-35, 26-27, and 21-22 minutes, all frequencies that have been predicted and/or observed in previous studies. The EEMD decomposition detected oscillations with periods of 50-55 and 21-22 minutes. Periods in the range of 50-57 minutes varied due to measurement uncertainties but almost certainly correspond to the first longitudinal mode of oscillation for Monterey Bay, periods of 34-35 minutes correspond to the first transverse mode of oscillation that assumes a nodal line across the entrance of the bay, a period of 26- 27 minutes, although previously observed, may not represent a fundamental oscillation, and a period of 21-22 minutes has been predicted and observed previously. A period of ~37 minutes, close to the period of 34-35 minutes, was generated by the Great Alaskan Earthquake of 1964 in Monterey Bay and most likely represents the same mode of oscillation. The tsunamis associated with the Great Alaskan Earthquake and the Chilean Earthquake both entered Monterey Bay but initially arrived outside the bay from opposite directions. Unlike the Great Alaskan Earthquake, however, which excited only one resonant mode inside the bay, the Chilean Earthquake excited several modes suggesting that the asymmetric shape of the entrance to Monterey Bay was an important factor and that the directions of the incoming tsunami-generated waves were most likely different. The results from SSA and EEMD produced results that differed. Although a period of 34-35 minutes was observed in the SSA, it was not detected in the EEMD. In previous comparisons, however, we have observed that oscillations detected in EEMD were not detected in SSA. SSA also revealed an oscillation with a period of 26-27 minutes, not observed in the EEMD. This oscillation, however, may not represent a fundamental mode but instead a harmonic related to the first longitudinal mode of oscillation whose period is ~55 minutes. We conclude that both methods were useful in helping to interpret the results of this study., Cited By (since 1996):2, Oceanography, ,

Comparing sea level response at Monterey, California from the 1989 Loma prieta earthquake and the 1964 great Alaskan earthquake,
Two of the largest earthquakes to affect water levels in Monterey Bay in recent years were the Loma Prieta Earthquake (LPE) of 1989 with a moment magnitude of 6.9, and the Great Alaskan Earthquake (GAE) of 1964 with a moment magnitude of 9.2. In this study, we compare the sea level response of these events with a primary focus on their frequency content and how the bay affected it, itself. Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) was employed to extract the primary frequencies associated with each event. It is not clear how or exactly where the tsunami associated with the LPE was generated, but it occurred inside the bay and most likely began to take on the characteristics of a seiche by the time it reached the tide gauge in Monterey Harbor. Results of the SSA decomposition revealed two primary periods of oscillation, 9-10 minutes, and 31-32 minutes. The first oscillation is in agreement with the range of periods for the expected natural oscillations of Monterey Harbor, and the second oscillation is consistent with a bay-wide oscillation or seiche mode. SSA decomposition of the GAE revealed several sequences of oscillations all with a period of approximately 37 minutes, which corresponds to the predicted, and previously observed, transverse mode of oscillation for Monterey Bay. In this case, it appears that this tsunami produced quarter-wave resonance within the bay consistent with its seiche-like response. Overall, the sea level responses to the LPE and GAE differed greatly, not only because of the large difference in their magnitudes but also because the driving force in one case occurred inside the bay (LPE), and in the second, outside the bay (GAE). As a result, different modes of oscillation were excited., Cited By (since 1996):4, ,

Trends in sea surface temperature off the coast of Ecuador and the major processes that contribute to them
Article, Monthly-averaged sea surface temperatures (SSTs) from seven adjoining sub-regions spanning the coast of Ecuador have been examined for long-term trends and the major processes that contribute to them. The study area extends from the coast out to 84°W longitude, and from 4°S to 2°N latitude. The period of observation extends from 1900 through 2014, a period of 115 years. Linear trend analysis shows that the slopes are positive in all sub-regions and statistically significant in 5 out of 7 of them. Based on the trends SSTs increased from + 0.10 °C to + 1.42 °C over the entire period with the greatest increases occurring in the sub-regions next to the coast and to a lesser extent in the northern and southern sub-regions. A second non-linear trend analysis was conducted using Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD). The results from EEMD for the various sub-regions indicate that SSTs increased significantly from 1900 to at least 1940 in the majority of cases. After 1950, SSTs tended to fluctuate with a minimum that often occurred during the 1960s or 1970s. Since circa 1990, SSTs have experienced little change. Because the data tended to be spatially homogeneous, with two sub-regions being possible exceptions, a mean data set was calculated and likewise subjected to EEMD. The results show that SSTs have increased by approximately 1 °C since 1900 but the process has not been uniform. The increase in temperature between 1900 and at least 1940 approaches 1 °C, similar to the trends found in the majority of sub-regions. Between ~ 1950 and 1990, temperatures decreased slightly until the mid-1960s and then gradually increased until about 1990. Since ~ 1990 there has been no significant change in SST. Overall, the results of the global mean analysis are generally consistent with the sub-regional results. Several sources of variability have been tentatively identified that may contribute to the long-term changes in temperature that we have observed. Both spectral analysis and EEMD suggest the importance of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation as possibly the greatest contributor. The two major maxima in the PDO index that occurred during the past century (~ 1940 and ~ 1990) are generally consistent with maxima and/or inflection points that occur both in the sub-regional and regional long-term trends. It has been difficult to associate specific ENSO episodes with the long-term trends. However, ENSO and the PDO are closely related. Recent modeling studies have shown that the PDO essentially owes its existence to ENSO. Thus, ENSO appears to be a major contributor to the long-term trends through its primary contribution to the PDO. Finally, spectral analysis also revealed the existence of an oscillation whose period is ~ 73 years, easily of sufficient length to influence the long-term trends. Climate-related oscillations in the range of 70–100 years are often associated with the Gleissberg sunspot cycle and this could be a contributing factor. The long-term trends are not necessarily a dominant feature in our data. However, had the observations been limited to the period from 1900 to ~ 1940, the trends would have been, without a doubt, dominant. Overall, the likely influence of the PDO on the observed long-term trends in SST must be emphasized. Finally, over the past 25 years there has been no significant change in surface temperature over the study area and this may be due in part to the cooling influence of the PDO since ~ 1990.

Easy Java Simulations (Ejs) is an interactive tool developed for the conceptual learning of science. Ejs is designed for teachers and students who want to create (or modify) scientific simulations. They can then concentrate their effort in writing and refining the relations in the underlying scientific model, and dedicate the minimum possible amount of time to the programming techniques. Teachers without programming experience have already created simulations for use in their curriculum after an introductory Ejs workshop. Students are alter asked to modify these simulations or to create their own simulations, thus engaging in what is called by educational researchers constructive modeling. With this approach students do science in an exploratory way, achieving many of the recommended best practices in the classroom.

During Vienna's plague epidemic in 1713, Emperor Karl VI vowed that as soon as the city was delivered from its plight he would build a church dedicated to St Charles Borromeo (1538 - 84), a former Archbishop of Milan and a patron saint of the plague. The following year he announced a competition to design the church, which was won by the architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. The result was a richly eclectic Baroque masterpiece: the gigantic dome and portico are borrowed from the architecture of ancient Greece and Rome, while there are Oriental echoes in the gatehouses and minaret-like columns. Building took almost 25 years, and the interior was richly embellished with carvings and altarpieces by the foremost artists of the day, including Daniel Garn and Martino Altomonte.

A memoir done in the form of a graphic novel by a cult favorite comic artist offers a darkly funny family portrait that details her relationship with her father--a funeral home director, high school English teacher, and closeted homosexual.
Author by Alison Bechdel
Genre eBook Biography & Autobiography
Approaches To Teaching Bechdel S Fun Home
Alison Bechdel's Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic has quickly joined the ranks of celebrated literary graphic novels. Set in part at a family-run funeral home, the book explores Alison's complicated relationship with her father, a closeted gay man. Amid the tensions of her home life, Alison discovers her own lesbian sexuality and her talent for drawing. The coming-of-age story and graphic format appeal to students. However, the book's nonlinear structure; intertextuality with modernist novels, Greek myths, and other works; and frank representations of sexuality and death present challenges in the classroom. This volume offers strategies for teaching Fun Home in a variety of courses, including literature, women's and gender studies, art, and education. Part 1, "Materials,†outlines the text's literary, historical, and theoretical allusions.

From Aphra Behn To Fun Home
Theatre has long been considered a feminine interest for which women consistently purchase the majority of tickets, while the shows they are seeing typically are written and brought to the stage by men. Furthermore, the stories these productions tell are often about men, and the complex leading roles in these shows are written for and performed by male actors. Despite this imbalance, the feminist voice presses to be heard and has done so with more success than ever before. In From Aphra Behn to Fun Home: A Cultural History of Feminist Theatre, Carey Purcell traces the evolution of these important artists and productions over several centuries. After examining the roots of feminist theatre in early Greek plays and looking at occasional works produced before the twentieth century, Purcell then identifies the key players and productions that have emerged over the last several decades. This book covers the heyday of the second wave feminist movement—which saw the growth of female-centric theatre groups—and highlights the work of playwrights such as Caryl Churchill, Pam Gems, and Wendy Wasserstein. Other prominent artists discussed here include playwrights Paula Vogel Lynn and Tony-award winning directors Garry Hynes and Julie Taymor. The volume also examines diversity in contemporary feminist theatre—with discussions of such playwrights as Young Jean Lee and Lynn Nottage—and a look toward the future. Purcell explores the very nature of feminist theater—does it qualify if a play is written by a woman or does it just need to feature strong female characters?—as well as how notable activist work for feminism has played a pivotal role in theatre. An engaging survey of female artists on stage and behind the scenes, From Aphra Behn to Fun Home will be of interest to theatregoers and anyone interested in the invaluable contributions of women in the performing arts.

Happy Death
In his first novel, A Happy Death, written when he was in his early twenties and retrieved from his private papers following his death in I960, Albert Camus laid the foundation for The Stranger, focusing in both works on an Algerian clerk who kills a man in cold blood. But he also revealed himself to an extent that he never would in his later fiction. For if A Happy Death is the study of a rule-bound being shattering the fetters of his existence, it is also a remarkably candid portrait of its author as a young man. As the novel follows the protagonist, Patrice Mersault, to his victim's house -- and then, fleeing, in a journey that takes him through stages of exile, hedonism, privation, and death -it gives us a glimpse into the imagination of one of the great writers of the twentieth century. For here is the young Camus himself, in love with the sea and sun, enraptured by women yet disdainful of romantic love, and already formulating the philosophy of action and moral responsibility that would make him central to the thought of our time. Translated from the French by Richard Howard

The New York Times–bestselling graphic memoir about Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home, becoming the artist her mother wanted to be. Alison Bechdel's Fun Home was a pop culture and literary phenomenon. Now, a second thrilling tale of filial sleuthery, this time about her mother: voracious reader, music lover, passionate amateur actor. Also a woman, unhappily married to a closeted gay man, whose artistic aspirations simmered under the surface of Bechdel's childhood…and who stopped touching or kissing her daughter good night, forever, when she was seven. Poignantly, hilariously, Bechdel embarks on a quest for answers concerning the mother-daughter gulf. It's a richly layered search that leads readers from the fascinating life and work of the iconic twentieth-century psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, to one explosively illuminating Dr. Seuss illustration, to Bechdel's own (serially monogamous) adult love life. And, finally, back to Mother—to a truce, fragile and real-time, that will move and astonish all adult children of gifted mothers. A New York Times, USA Today, Time, Slate, and Barnes & Noble Best Book of the Year "As complicated, brainy, inventive and satisfying as the finest prose memoirs."—New York Times Book Review "A work of the most humane kind of genius, bravely going right to the heart of things: why we are who we are. It's also incredibly funny. And visually stunning. And page-turningly addictive. And heartbreaking."—Jonathan Safran Foer "Many of us are living out the unlived lives of our mothers. Alison Bechdel has written a graphic novel about this; sort of like a comic book by Virginia Woolf. You won't believe it until you read it—and you must!"—Gloria Steinem

'Show me something I've never seen before and will never be able to forget - if you can do that, you can do anything.' It's 1957, long before computers have replaced the trained eye and skilful hand. Our narrator at State University is determined to major in Art, and after several risible false starts, he accidentally ends up in a new class: 'Introduction to Graphic Design'. His teacher is the enigmatic Winter Sorbeck, equal parts genius, seducer and sadist. Sorbeck is a bitter yet fascinating man whose assignments hurl his charges through a gauntlet of humiliation and heartache, shame and triumph, ego-bashing and enlightenment. Along the way, friendships are made and undone, jealousies simmer, and the sexual tango weaves and dips. By the end of their 'Introduction to Graphic Design', Sorbeck's students will never see the world in the same way again. And, with Chip Kidd's insights into the secrets of graphic design, neither will you.

John McDonnell asked at a Labour Conference fringe meeting, "What if there is a run on the pound? What happens if there is this concept of capital flight?" What "if they come for us"? John and Jeremy have been accused of 'war gaming' in discussing this threat. John reminded us in reply, "We're not going to be a traditional government. We're going to be a radical government." We all need to think about how the capitalist establishment is likely to respond. This article shows how it will strive to bring radical governments to heel.
The first threat mentioned by John is a run on the pound. In the past countries had fixed exchange rates, for instance in 1966 £1 exchanged for $2.80. That meant that, if Britain was selling less abroad than it was buying, it had to give foreign traders $2.80 to make up the difference of every pound. If it ran out of foreign currency it had to devalue. So, after a devastating run on the pound in 1967, the Wilson Labour government declared that £1 would only get $2.40.
Devaluation made our exports cheaper and imports dearer. It was hoped that this would correct the deficit, but usually this turned out to be just a short term fix. If a country is not competing effectively with other capitalist countries, then it will not be able to sell abroad as much as it imports in the longer term, and apparently technical problems with exchange rates will come back to haunt it.
What has all this got to do with the capitalist establishment? A run on the national currency is presented in economics textbooks as the automatic working of the market. In fact it acts as a discipline imposed by the capitalist system. It is profoundly political. This pressure is intensified by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the 'financial sheriff', as we shall see.
In 1976 we had floating exchange rates, but the threat from capital to a reforming Labour government remained. Since the UK buys more from abroad than we sell abroad (a current account deficit) we have to borrow from the financial markets to make up the difference. After 1974, a series of runs on the pound caused sterling to reach a record low against the dollar. This in turn forced the government to go cap in hand to the IMF for a monster loan of $3.9bn to stem the outflow of money.
The IMF demanded cuts in welfare spending as the price of their 'help'. According to Cabinet Papers "the IMF crisis reinforced a change in policy orientation away from full employment and social welfare towards the control of inflation and expenditure". In effect P.M. Callaghan surrendered the country to the IMF. This imposed austerity led to Labour's electoral defeat in 1979, when Thatcher came to power.
Labour under Wilson and Callaghan was not trying to challenge capitalism – just to create more jobs and better living standards for the people who elected them by reflating the economy. The 'markets' (world capitalism) didn't like it, and they got their way. The pressure on Labour was not confined to the economic. The Defence Correspondent of the Times threatened that the use of troops to break strikes could lead to a situation where "normal legal administration is impossible and the only authority left is the military commander." Rumours of coups and conspiracies were in the air.
These days we are told we are hapless prey to the merciless forces of globalisation. This episode actually shows the opposite. It was the state under Thatcher that imposed dependence on these market forces upon us like a whirlwind by scrapping exchange controls. What the state can do, the state can undo. Even inside the European Union, where the free movement of capital is regarded as a religion, Greece currently has exchange controls for eminently practical reasons, as do countries from Angola to Zimbabwe including Russia, China, India and Nigeria.
So, without exchange controls, the markets decide whether the pound will go up or down and they give elected governments very little wriggle room on economic policy. 'Markets' and their loyal lackeys the Tories prefer austerity in hard times because it loads all the hardship on the backs of the working class. A run on the pound is highly likely if a reforming Labour government tries to break out of the straitjacket imposed by the market system, by capitalism.
Governments can influence people's propensity to hang on to their currency. They can raise interest rates to make holding sterling more attractive. The trouble is, that involves yanking up the rate of interest throughout the economy. That makes borrowing by firms and consumers more expensive, and is likely to harm economic growth. So that's another constraint on national governments in the face of global capitalism.
So there can be a run on the currency, a refusal to lend to the government and finally capitalists can refuse to invest in the country - a flight of capital. The capitalist resistance can operate with a combination of all three sanctions.
The Mitterand Socialist government was elected in France in 1981 on a programme of a big increase in the minimum wage, a 39 hour working week, five weeks' holiday for workers and a wealth tax. Twelve industrial conglomerates and 38 banks were taken over. Good stuff, but the bosses didn't like it.
The French government was also hampered by membership of the EMS, predecessor of the Euro. In effect they had to keep the franc aligned to the German deutschmark. There were three runs on the French franc leading to three 'currency adjustments'. Each time Mitterand devalued, the run on the franc intensified. In addition business came to a standstill and refused to invest. In March 1983 Mitterand turned tail. The 'tournant de la rigeur' (austerity turn) led to increased unemployment and cuts in public services, all in the name of the fight against inflation.
Austerity – making the working class pay the price of the Great Recession of 2008 – has been the worldwide policy of the capitalist class. Nowhere has this been more blatant than in Greece. Even prior to the 2008 crisis Greece owned enormous sums to North European banks. The culture of speculation and swindling had already made the country effectively bankrupt before the crisis hit. Greece's national debt to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio had swollen to 179% by 2014.
The first Greek 'bailout' in 2010 really just salvaged the French and German banks who had incautiously lent so much to the Greek government - at the expense of the Greek people. As the American economic historian Barry Eichengreen records, "In particular German banks, led by the Commerzbank, held some €17 billion of Greek debt. The German private sector, including pension funds, insurance companies and thrifty burghers searching for yield, came to as much as €25 billion, a considerable fraction of what the Greek government owed. What was in stake, in other words, was not just the solvency of the Greek government but the stability of the German financial system." (Hall of Mirrors pp.346-7) Thus the Greek people were sacrificed for the benefit of German banks.
The Troika - the IMF, European Commission and the European Central Bank (ECB) acted as debt collectors for the North European banks. The monstrous debt was not written off but transferred to the Troika. The Greek people continued to pay. Despite being unelected, the Troika dictated policy in the form of continual austerity programmes imposed upon successive Greek governments.
Greece after 2009 suffered an economic meltdown as severe as the world crisis of 1929-33. Their people were the first to rebel against the wretched austerity regime imposed by world capitalism after the onset of the great Recession in 2008.
In January 2015 the radical Syriza government was elected with a mandate to fight austerity. It was brought to its knees, partly by exorbitant interest charges on its national debt intended to bankrupt the country – another 'gilt strike' like that which struck the 1974-79 Labour government. Greek 'spreads', the difference between the rate of interest offered on Greek government securities and those of Germany (Bubos) ballooned.
The government had to offer usurious returns on the bonds it issued if it was to borrow money at all, because the bond vigilantes claimed there was a danger of default and demanded ever-higher rates of return. These people have the power to hold elected governments to ransom. Of course the rise in interest rates made it even more difficult for the Greek government to keep up the payments on the debt that was strangling the economy.
Also the ECB actually organised a flight of capital to lay the radical government low and impose vicious austerity upon the Greek people. The nineteenth century commentator Walter Bagehot, in his book Lombard Street, suggested that central banks should lend open-handedly in a crisis to try to calm and stabilise the situation, while commercial banks are being subjected to bank runs from their depositors. The ECB on the contrary was deliberately creating chaos in order to bring down an elected radical government.
In June the Syriza government was presented with the 10th (!) austerity package by the Troika. Syriza called a referendum and got a magnificent 61% support to defy the authorities. The fighting spirit of the Greek people was not replicated by Tsipras and the leadership of Syriza. As Yanis Varoufakis notes in his book, Adults in the Room, when the fantastic referendum result came in at party HQ he was the only one celebrating. The government capitulated the following month.
Austerity is a policy which has failed even on its own terms. The fight against it will go on, and we will win.
What can we do to fight the saboteurs? When people ask about money, they actually mean – where will the resources come from? The resources, people and material, are already there. Money is just needed to oil the machine.
Jeremy Corbyn has in the past floated the idea of 'people's quantitative easing'. Between 2009 and 2012, in the teeth of the economic crisis the Bank of England created £375bn out of thin air – it's called quantitative easing (QE). That's a lot of money. What did the Bank do with it? Effectively it gave it to the big banks by buying their bonds. This was supposed to reduce interest rates.
There is no evidence that this huge amount of cash plucked from a magic money tree benefited the rest of us apart from the banks. Living standards have stagnated. Corbyn argued that the Bank of England could create the money - people's QE - for useful public investment in infrastructure, rather than just bunging it at the banks.
In 1997 Gordon Brown made the Bank of England operationally independent, though it is still publicly owned and has been since 1946. Brown was acting under the monetarist belief that elected governments couldn't be trusted to run monetary policy as they would always print too much money just to be popular - leading to inflation. Monetary policy should therefore be conducted by technocrats.
Since inflation is now very low despite the Bank of England printing enormous quantities of money, Brown's monetarist theory has been comprehensively disproved. It is high time that monetary policy was back in the hands of our elected representatives and conducted in our interests.
All governments borrow, and they usually borrow mainly from the rich who have the money to lend. There is an acute danger that a radical government will be faced with a threat to turn the money taps off or to wind up interest rates so high as to deliberately sabotage the elected government's reforming plans.
Phew! A strike of capital sounds scary. And so it is. Can we do nothing to break out of this prison? Of course we can.
One lesson is that we must take over the banks. They are not only the creators of the crazy speculation that triggered the crash in the world economy in 2008. They are also the monetary conduit by which a run on the pound and capital flight are conducted.
A government aiming to represent the working class cannot be dependent on the good will and the lending of the rich and big business. People's QE is one way of financing the resources to transform the country in the interests of working people and bypassing a strike of capital. A socialist administration which aims at greater equality and shrinks the difference between rich and poor will, of course, be much less dependent on borrowing from the rich in any case.
In Greece the vice in which the government was held was the debt. Syriza should have simply refused to pay. That would inevitably have led to further outflows of capital. The only response to that was for bank workers and the whole working class to be mobilised against the capitalist sabotage.
The entire machinery of the establishment will be thrown against a Corbyn-led Labour government. It doesn't matter that Labour's programme doesn't actually call for the abolition of capitalism. We will be threatening their right to rule as they think fit. The Wilson and Callaghan governments were still sabotaged in 1974-79, for all their moderation.
For the Many, Not the Few has given working people an awareness that austerity can be defeated, something worth fighting for and the confidence to fight to win. The difference with the 1974-79 Labour government is that then there was no attempt to mobilise counter-pressure. Labour' leadership just bowed to the diktat of the IMF.
We can't just leave it all to Jeremy and John. They have already come under fantastic pressure. They are bound to come under so much more. They will need our support. There must be a mass mobilisation of the working class to make sure that the undemocratic reality of capitalist class rule and manipulation that lies beneath the democratic facade is defeated.
It will be us or them. We will be confronted by the full-scale resistance of the ruling class. In order to win we must paralyse and then take away the powers they hold over us. The alternative is disaster, as the evidence of the Wilson/Callaghan Labour government, the fate of Mitterand and the failure of Syriza all show.
If they come for us, we must come right back at them.

Leadership is About Relationships
We were honoured to participate in this year's Special Olympics Global Youth Leadership Summit during the 2017 World Winter Games in Graz, Austria. This gathering of 44 youth leaders and their mentors represented the core of the social connectedness movement and the power of inclusion.
From March 16th to the 22nd, youth from all around the world had the opportunity to come together and share their efforts of fostering inclusion within their local communities. This summit provided the platform to showcase and support one another's projects of inclusion through various workshops on leadership and team building activities.
The summit began with team building activities in which participants were grouped according to the overall themes of their projects of inclusion: fundraising and skill development, unified sports and fitness, media and awareness, school activities and camps, and friendships and social inclusion. Each group was given a colour and the opportunity to connect with one another. They first started by agreeing on a team name: the blue team, known as the #Unifiedsmurfs; the purple team, known as Power Purple; the yellow team, known as the Power Team; the green team, known as The Clovers; and the red team, known as InspiRED.
During the first day, the teams learned more about the individual members in their group, discussed their goals and expectations for the summit, and created a chant to introduce themselves. This was a special moment. As participants shared their likes and dislikes, as well as their culture and stories of involvement with Special Olympics, you could see the lifelong connections being made within and across groups. The bonds created on this first day laid the foundation of respect we witnessed throughout the summit, as participants came from very different backgrounds yet were able to find common ground.
As the summit progressed, the connections between participants grew stronger. Each of them had arrived in their 'unified pairs', but immediately gained access to a whole community of support in which to collaborate with on their projects of inclusion, both then and in the future. This reminded us of insights shared by Marlene Ogawa, Program Manager at the Synergos Institute, during the 2016 Global Symposium on Overcoming Social Isolation and Deepening Social Connectedness. Marlene had stated that social connectedness "happens first in the individual and then extends to the wider group." This was certainly true for the participants at the summit, who came with their own stories and experiences, and left with new connections and the knowledge that they were now part of a global community. They also learned many new ideas and skills that they can employ in their local communities.
Throughout the summit, these young people and their mentors focused on the core of what it means to be a leader. One of the main messages during our time together was that leadership should always be inclusive and that "great leaders start off as great followers". Indeed, none of us have all the answers or solutions so it is important that we aim to learn from one another and support others in their work to build inclusive communities.
Speaking at the 2016 Global Symposium, Andrea Cahn, Senior Director of the Unified Champion Schools for Special Olympics, said that this program has taught students that social inclusion and acceptance should be the norm within and outside the school environment. She added that youth "expect people to be included, and when they're not, they will do something about it." The youth participating in this leadership summit are great examples of individuals who are carrying the social connectedness movement forward.
During the summit's cultural night, the youth leaders had the opportunity to share their culture with one another. They shared food from home, traditional clothing, cultural dance, and exchanged Special Olympic pins from each other's home countries. These moments of exchange throughout the summit serve as further proof of the power of acceptance and understanding.
It was important for participants to be involved in all aspects of the 2017 Special Olympic World Winter Games, from taking a walking tour of Graz with Austrian students to participating in the first Unified Talk: An Inclusive Call to Action, hosted by the Bank of America. They also had the opportunity to watch the games and to share their projects of inclusion in an expo with both athletes and guests.
Our time at the Special Olympics Global Youth Leadership Summit was invaluable. It demonstrated that the social connectedness movement, based on the principles of respect, reciprocity and recognition, is strong and growing. It is also a reminder that there is work being done every day by individuals around the world who believe in the idea of a unified world.
What will you do to help build social connectedness and foster inclusion in your community?

47. Israel's Deep Sleep
Isaiah 29:10-11. "For the LORD has poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets, and covered your heads, the seers. And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed. When men give it to one who can read, saying, "Read this," he says, "I cannot, for it is sealed."
Quoted by Paul in Romans 11:8-9. "According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this day."
This judicial blindness was first prophesied by Isaiah (chapter 6) some 650 years before Christ. "And He said, "Go, and tell this people: 'Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive. Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and return and be healed.""
This prophecy was quoted by the Lord during His ministry, and recorded by all four Gospels. (Matt.13:14, Mark 4:12, Luke 8:10, John 12:40) also by Paul in Romans 11:8, and in Rome, at the end of an all-day conference with Jewish leaders. (Acts 28:26-27) This shows the great importance of the prophecy.
But to many in Paul's day the judicial act of blindness and deep sleep seemed to go against the righteousness of God. How could a merciful God blind His people so that they have no chance of understanding the Gospel and be saved? The same question is often posed today by Christians. They say, "Why did Jesus speak in parables so that the multitude wouldn't understand? Why did He just reveal the meaning to His Disciples? It doesn't add up with the declared character of God."
Paul's answer is found in Romans 11:11. "I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles."
And again, "For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?" (11:15)
Israel's deep sleep is of such great importance that the subject is found throughout the O.T. prophets, and frequently in the N.T. We shall have to investigate further.

Prepare Racing Program
Full Afternoon's Schedule at Fairgrounds
Here on Memorial Day
Nine events, starting off with 8-lap heat races and winding up with the 20-lap, 10-mile biggest race on the program, are scheduled for the big Memorial Day stock car racing program at the Winfield fairgrounds. Sponsored by the Winfield Lions club, the races are scheduled to get under way at 2 p.m. and will provide a full afternoon of exciting entertainment. The rules, regulations, money distribution, and most of the racing cars will be the same as regularly prevail on racing programs at the Cejay stadium at Wichita. According to latest reports, some 25 to 30 racing cars are expected to compete here. Winfield's entry will be Joe Collins driving a V-8 motored car that has been turning up 90 to 100 miles an hour on tests. During the past week, the city has been grading and shaping up the half-mile track at the fairgrounds and, from all indications, should be in good shape for the Memorial Day event. There will be a general admission price which admits to the grandstand. All persons will be urged to seat themselves in the grandstand during the races to avoid taking any undue risk which could develop from the dare-devil driving on the track.
OUTLINE PROGRAM
The racing program as outlined Monday includes three heat races of eight laps each followed by the three-lap trophy dash. The fifth race listed is the 15-lap main "B" event open to non-money winning cars of the heat races. Then comes the first semi-final of 10 laps open to money winning cars of the heat races followed by the second semi-final race of 10 laps open to all cars not participating in the first semi-final. Race number eight is a novelty race. Cars to be used and the event to be run is reserved to the discretion of the management. The concluding event listed is the 20-lap main "A" event, open to heat race winners in order as in the semi, plus "B" winners in order. Racing fans who were privileged to see stock cars in action at the county fair last year, and who regularly attend the racing programs at Wichita, will see the same type of highly competitive, fast moving entertainment at the local fairgrounds Wednesday afternoon this week. If local fans show by their attendance that they are sufficiently interested in this type of a sporting event at the local track, efforts will be made to schedule additional racing programs this season the sponsors state.
A CONTENDER AND ONE OF THE LIKELY winners in the Memorial Day stock car races at the Winfield fairgrounds will be "No. 4" driven by Joe Collins, center. It is a V-8 Ford and it really gets up and goes. Also interested in seeing that the Winfield entry is in tip-top shape are Willard Bodkins, right, and Dudley Boots, left.
The above publicity photo with the caption at left and a 28-square inch version of the advertisement at upper left were all published on page 5 of the Tuesday, May 29, 1951 issue of the Winfield Daily Courier. The picture was taken in front of the grandstand on the Winfield racetrack and the car was yellow over blue in color. Click your mouse on the picture above to see a different photograph of this car taken about the same time. In that photo are, left to right, Willard Bodkins, Bill Collins, Joe Collins, and Dudley Boots.
From the front page of the Winfield Daily Courier, May 31, 1951:
Many Attend Races Here
Lions Club Members Sponsor Memorial Day Event at Fairgrounds
Stock cars racing returned to Winfield Wednesday afternoon for the first time since the Cowley County fair last fall as a large crowd was treated to three full hours of entertainment despite sweltering 90-degree temperatures.
Sponsored by the Winfield Lions club, the eight-event program featured a number of near spills, none serious, with 20 cars taking part in the time trials. A repeat performance on July 4 at the fairgrounds was hinted during the program.
HAS BEST TIME
J. D. Cox, who failed to win any of the regularly-scheduled races, turned in the best qualifying time on the half-mile track with a mark of 33.10 seconds in his V-8 Ford marked "98". Cox' next best showing was in the third heat event in which the Wichita driver finished second behind Bill Mears, also of Wichita. Mears toured the distance of 2.5 miles in 3:00.51.
Ira Woodward copped the big event - the Class A feature - which covers five miles or 10 laps on the fairgrounds track. His number "3" car edged into the lead at the 1.5-mile mark and stayed there the rest of the way.
Something that could not be accomplished in the time trials was done in the second semi-final event in which Will Forrest was clocked in three minutes flat for three miles - an average of 60 m.p.h. and believed to be one of the best marks ever hung up on a dirt track for stock cars.
As an added attraction, a pair of spanking new automobiles - an Oldsmobile 88 and a Henry J - were pitted against one another in a novelty race, beginning from a dead start. The "Olds", driven by Dudley Boots of Winfield, out sped the Henry J, with Willard Bodkins, Winfield, at the wheel. That race was performed only on the straightaway in front of the grandstand.
DRIVER SCALDED
Ray Whittaker, Wichita, was the sole mishap victim, receiving a slight scalding during the Class B feature, but following treatment, he returned to take part in later events.
The Lions club took particular pains to avoid accident to spectators and to their vehicles which were parked in specially-designated areas well beyond the racetrack itself.
Total Entries - 20 - A fair turnout considering a competing event was held at the Kansas State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson, KS on this same afternoon.
Race Results - Due to a lack of entries, each race was shortened from its advertised length.

Ira "Red" Woodward, of Wichita, KS, was driving a 1934 Ford, 2-door sedan with a 239 cu. in. Ford flathead V-8 engine. The car was built and owned by boyhood friend, Glen H. Martin. The Winfield racetrack was very dusty that day and, as Red only had one eye, the dust bothered him more than most drivers. He debated even starting the Class A Feature race that day but decided to do so and see how bad the dust got. Red received $45 for first place in the Class A Feature race and set a new 10-lap track record in the process.
Will Forrest, driving a 1934 Ford owned by Al Williams of Wichita, and sponsored by Scientific Motors, of Wichita, finished about six car lengths back.
Red Woodward said the track had a lot of loose dirt on it that day, making it very slippery. "You just had to be careful. That's how I got the lead. A bunch of cars wrecked in front of me on the north turn but I got through".
