If you visited the Seven exhibition that I curated last year at the Warehouse Galleries, then you saw that one of the seven spaces had an exhibition where the artists all focused around the subject of text in art.
That concept has been picked up by a couple of other art venues, and next April 1st, a second iteration of Text, curated again by yours truly opens at the Greater Reston Arts Center in Reston, Virginia.
The artists in Text are Mark Cameron Boyd, Victor Ekpuk, Michal Hunter, Michael Janis, Molly Springfield, Tim Tate and Denise Wolff.
What: TEXT at Greater Reston Arts Center.
When: Opening reception on Saturday, April 1, 6-8 pm and Artists' Dialogue on Saturday, April 8, 7 pm.
Where: The brand-spanking new GRACE located at 12001 Market St., Suite 103, Reston, VA. Call 703-471-9242 for more info.
DC Art News reader Angela Lubinecky read this posting a while back. The posting made her aware of the "Arte de America Hispana" contest launched by HYP Network, the leading independent publisher of Spanish language yellow page directories in the U.S.
She then submitted a piece entitled "Floracion Hispana" and it won first place!
The unveiling of the winning work will be held on April 6th, 2006 at an awards ceremony in Washington D.C's Gala Hispanic Theatre - Tivoli. Mayor Anthony A. Wiilliams has been invited to make the opening remarks.
Angela Lubinecky's art will grace the 2006/07 cover of the VEGA Directorio en Espanol for Virgina, Maryland and Washington D.C.
Arlington Arts Center – Call for Solo Exhibitions for 2007. Artists working in the six Mid-Atlantic states (VA, DC, MD, WV, DE, PA) may apply for solo exhibitions between January-December 2007 in one of the Arlington Arts Center galleries. All media will be considered. The grounds surrounding the building can accommodate outdoor sculpture.
More information and the application form may be downloaded from their website at www.arlingtonartscenter.org under Exhibitions/Artist Opportunities.

Birthday of His Imperial Majesty Shahanshah Aryamehr
by Liberator » Tue Oct 25, 2005 4:35 pm
The Birthday of:
His Imperial Majesty Mohammad Reza Pahlavi
Shahanshah Aryamehr
The Late Emperor of Iran
He would have been 86 years old today.
ROOHESH SHAAD!
I will repost what I had posted on one of "Pirooz's" threads on Shahanshah Aryamehr with some additions:
25 years ago on this day His Imperial Majesty Shahanshah Aryamehr passed away having had cancer.
The ungrateful people of the country, which was on the right track towards modernity, progression, and democracy, exiled him because they claimed he was a "puppet"/"bloodthirsty dicatator" and the list goes on; however history has shown that he was simply a patriotic Iranian who had the best interests of his nation at mind and as any human being made mistakes and had flaws, but none that would earn him the label of "bloodthirsty dictator" or an american "puppet".
Imperial Iran was not a democracy but was on its way to become one, a nation that less than a hundred years ago was a backward, poverty-striken, disease infested wasteland under the rule of ignorant Qajars (who in turn reported to the British) had under the Pahlavi's become a strong nation-state who had made enormous advances in a very limited amount of time. With the coming of the Islamic Republic, through the Islamist Coup D'Etat, our country was set back hundreds of years. This was indeed the "second arabo-islamic invasion of Iran".
The Iran of today in the hands of the mollah's is a country in which:
- women are treated as sub-humans
- teenagers are denied the right to enjoy life and cannot see a bright future for themselves in their homeland
- workers/teachers/nurses etc have not been given their salaries for months and in some cases years (!)
- "elections" are fraud and in which people have the freedom to chose candidates carefully screened and approved by the Islamic establishment on the basis of their loyality to the system and islam
- poverty and prostitution is rampant
- aids figures have rapidly grown
- democratic activities are quickly and brutally supressed by the savage islamic forces that the IRI have at their disposal (revolutionary guards, basijis, and plainclothesmen/thugs)
- political activists/ journalists are being tortured in prisons across the country
- suicide rates are rampant
- well over ten million people are drug-addicts!
- university graduates leave the country as soon as there is an opportunity, causing a huge "braindrain"; some people risk their lives trying to leave the Islamic Republic in hope of reaching Europe/U.S.
- depression affects the overwhelming majority of the Iranian population due to the terrible state that our country has been reduced to under the rule of a bunch of illiterate, anti-Iranian mollah's who are filling their foreign bank accounts with what is left of Iran's wealth
-journalists are imprisoned for telling the truth and newspapers not in line with the regime's ideology are shut down
- a photographer being a canadian citizen is beaten to death by the a top official in the regime's judiciary and nothing has been done to bring the people responsible for her death to justice
- young children (9-17) are raped and executed by Islamic Revolutionary Tribunals!
- homosexuals are tried and executed by Islamic Kangaroo Courts!
- harbouring/financing/supporting and creating terrorist islamic organizations is a daily task of the Islamic Republic
- state-supported suicide brigades are created to attack western nations
- Iraq/Afghanistan are two neighbours that are victims of the Islamic Republic's terrorist activities in those two countries
- Iran's cultural heritage is neglected and at worst destroyed or freely open to looting
- and and and...
Iran and Iranians are ready for change. Today Iranians are waiting for the day to vent all their anger they have kept inside for 25 years towards this barbaric Islamic establishment. Today we witness the terrified state that the mollah's and their supporters find themselves in by having to impose martial law in Iran's main cities in order to crush any popular uprisings.
The Shah of Iran was striving to bring Iran to a higher level in which the country would be ready to embrace a full democracy, but unfortunately that moment was never allowed to take place because of those people who commited treason in 1979 and betrayed their nation by handing it over to the waiting enemy.
Today it's time for us to fulfill that vision of His Majesty Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and create an Iran which is free, independent, secular, and democratic. This can be done and will be done once we rid our country of the Islamic Regime that has been preying on it for 26 years now.
As this great Iranian patriot was slowly leaving this world he had to suffer even more by seeing all his efforts to modernize Iran being wiped out in one day by the lowest scum on this earth, and all those who served Iran being executed in cold blood one by one.
May his memory live on forever!
Khoda biamorzatesh!

Let's talk passwords. Exciting isn't it?
But wait: do you use a key for your front door? Are you happy giving it to strangers? No? Well, this is the same thing, so it's important we think about how secure our digital life is too. Being digitally security-aware is just as important as being home security-aware.
Your password manager password – don't use this for anything else. Keep reading, to find out what a password manager is and how it can make your life easier.
It's simple, some accounts are more important than others, especially your work and your bank, so have individual passwords for them, and then one more for your password manager.
Have you fallen into the trap of using the same password for everything?
It sounds like a clever strategy to avoid forgetting which is which, but have you noticed how those online security breaches just seem to keep happening? That clever strategy of yours means that sooner or later your password to everything is going to get into the wrong hands, and then someone else has your password to everything. Not good.
Tip 1: Don't use the same password in multiple places.
OK, so how do you remember multiple passwords?
Tip 2: Use a password manager.
A password manager is like a locked safe containing a different password for every site you need one for (this is a very good thing), and it applies the right password for each site when you need it. Basically, it keeps track of all those passwords that are not your work and bank passwords. To get into your password manager, you use a "master" password, which should be a long and unguessable password. An odd sentence with no spaces works well – but "theywillneverguessthisone" has already been figured out, so be more clever than that. If someone can guess your master password, they can get to all your passwords, so be diligent about that long and unguessable password.
Some Password managers you might to look at are Lastpass, Keepass or Dashlane.
No? Neither do we. If you do not like Spam*, then do not use your UC email address for non-UC services.

Teen Top () é um boy group sul-coreano formado pela TOP Media em 2010. O grupo é composto por cinco integrantes: C.A.P, Chunji, Niel, Ricky e Changjo. A formação original do grupo incluía L.Joe, que deixou o grupo em fevereiro de 2017. Teen Top estreou com o single álbum Come Into the World em 9 de julho de 2010. O nome do grupo é um acrônimo para "Teenage Emoboy Emotion Next Generation Talent Object Praise.

 História
 2010-2012: Estreia, Roman, It's, aRtisT e To You
Em julho de 2010, Teen Top fez sua estreia com a faixa-título, Clap (), fora de seu primeiro álbum, Come into the World, que foi lançado em 9 de julho. O video musical para Clap tem a participação de Lizzy do After School.

Teen Top oficialmente estreou em 10 de julho Music Core, seguido pelo Inkigayo, recebendo críticas positivas para ambas as performances. Com base em suas performances, os internautas deram a Teen Top o apelido de "Knife Choreography".

Em 13 de janeiro de 2011, Teen Top fez seu primeiro retorno no M! Countdown com seu segundo single Supa Luv, que foi produzido por Shin Hyuk. A música, originalmente escrita e executada pela Redd Stylez, foi reescrita e traduzida para o coreano pela Wheesung.

Em 2 de março, Teen Top lançou um vídeo musical para uma versão remix de Supa Luv do A-rex, com cenas do filme americano Beastly. O remix foi então escolhido para a promoção do filme em toda a Ásia.

O grupo fez uma aparição no programa de notícias francês Le Grand Journal, para o qual eles receberam aclamação crítica impressionante em comparação com outros atos que apareceram no show. As performances de Supa Luv foi altamente elogiado, com os anfitriões comentando a dança sincronizada e os cabelos coloridos pastelados por cada membro. Os artistas notáveis que chegaram ao talk show também incluem Eminem, Usher, Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas e Rihanna.

O mini álbum de Teen Top, Roman, juntamente com sua faixa-título No More Perfume On You () foi lançado digitalmente em 26 de julho e fisicamente em 27 de julho.<ref name="teentop.co.kr">[http://www.teentop.co.kr "Notice' section on the website"] Teen Top official website </ref>

Em janeiro de 2012, Teen Top lançou seu segundo mini-álbum It's. Todas as seis faixas foram inteiramente produzidas por Brave Brothers. O álbum deveria ser lançado à meia-noite de 4/5 de janeiro, mas, às 8 horas no dia 4 de janeiro, tinha vazado em diversos sites de música, obtendo mais de mil acessos em menos de 10 minutos.

Teen Top revelou o videoclipe de sua canção comeback Crazy em 5 de janeiro com a presença de Sohyun do 4Minute. A música foi introduzida no canal de televisão brasileira RedeTV. No programa de notícias de entretenimento Leitura Dinâmica ajudou Teen Top a ganhar interesse internacional.

Em 3 de fevereiro, Teen Top ganhou seu primeiro no Music Bank desde que estreou com Clap em 10 de julho de 2010. Além disso, eles receberam a honra de performar no palco final do Music Core, seguido por outra vitória no Inkigayo.

ARtisT, o terceiro EP do Teen Top, foi lançado no dia 30 de maio como um download digital, seguido do lançamento do vídeo musical para sua faixa-título To You. Os álbuns físicos foram lançados em 4 de junho de 2012. Com este álbum, o grupo ganhou muita atenção, tendo grandes posições em gráficos musicais.

Em 19 de junho, o grupo começou seu Teen Top Zepp Tour 2012 através do Japão com paradas em Osaka, Nagoya e Tóquio.

Em 3 de agosto, o vídeo musical para o single Be Ma Girl foi lançado, seguido da performance do Teen Top no Music Core um dia depois.

Em 25 de agosto, Teen Top lançou seu 4º mini-álbum Teen Top Class com Rocking / No Joke como o single principal. O Teen Top ganhou três troféus de música para Rocking. O ciclo de promoção durou menos do que o habitual, o que os levou a lançar outro álbum repaginado intitulado Teen Top Class Addition em 24 de outubro com Lovefool como single principal.

2014: High Kick world tour, Éxito e Snow Kiss
Em fevereiro, Teen Top realizou seu show High Kick in Seoul no Salão Olímpico de Seul. Eles seguiram sua turnê mundial High Kick em vários países, como Canadá, China, Hong Kong, Japão, Rússia, Taiwan e países da América do Sul, como Colômbia, Chile, México, Panamá e Peru.

Em setembro, eles lançaram seu quarto extended play, Exito com Missing como single principal. Eles fizeram sua primeira performance ao vivo no M! Countdown no dia 11 de setembro, antes do lançamento. O ciclo de promoção durou menos do que o habitual, o que os levou a lançar um álbum repaginado, intitulado Love Two Exitoo dos anos 20, no dia 10 de novembro. I'm Sorry foi o principal single do álbum, no qual não foi promovido em shows de música.

Em novembro, eles realizaram seu primeiro show e encontro de fãs na Tailândia, intitulado My Dear Angels in Bangkok. Em dezembro, realizaram outro concerto, mas em quatro cidades no Japão.

Em dezembro, lançaram seu primeiro álbum único sazonal, Snow Kiss com o mesmo título que o single principal.

2015-2016: Natural Born e Red Point
A TOP Media anunciou que Teen Top realizará o seu exclusivo show solo My Dear Angels em Los Angeles no ORPHEUM TEATER em 11 de abril. Este evento foi cancelado devido a problemas internos de financiamento; Team Angel assume total responsabilidade pelo cancelamento.

Seu 6º mini-álbum intitulado Natural Born Teen Top em 22 de junho e no mesmo dia lançou o vídeo musical para o single principal Ah-Ah, uma música escrita e produzida por Black Eyed Pilseung e Sam Lewis. Após o lançamento, Natural Born Teen Top estreou no n. ° 1 na tabela de álbuns Gaon da Coreia do Sul, bem como no número 13 no quadro de álbuns mundiais da Billboard.

Em 4 de julho, Teen Top realizou seu concerto de 5° aniversário em Tóquio, e continuou em Seul, Nagoya, Kobe e terminou em Fukuoka em 17 de agosto. O grupo também frequentou a KCON em Nova York junto com Girls' Generation e outros artistas sul-coreanos em 8 de agosto de 2015.

No dia 31 de julho, o Teen Top lançou o single exclusivo Except for Me para o álbum Brave Brothers 10th Anniversary.

Teen Top frequentou a 2015 Feel Korea na turnê de Nova Deli, na Índia, atuando em 29 de agosto no Auditório Sirifort de Nova Deli.

No dia 17 de janeiro, o vídeo musical para a faixa do título, Warning Sign, foi lançado. No dia seguinte, em 18 de janeiro de 2016, Teen Top lançou o mini-álbum, Red Point. O álbum veio em duas versões: Chic ver. E Urban ver.

2017-presente: Saída de L.Joe e High Five
Em 9 de fevereiro de 2017, foi relatado que L.Joe solicitou o encerramento de seu contrato com a TOP Media. Não foi confirmado se a gravadora realmente iria encerrar o contrato de L.Joe. Isso ocorreu em uma época em que Teen Top está se preparando para seu retorno. Foi dito que L.Joe gravou para o novo álbum, o que acrescenta mais obstáculos a respeito do retorno e da partida de L.Joe.

Em abril de 2017, Teen Top lançou seu segundo álbum de estúdio intitulado High Five.

Cultural icon is grateful to play
Tags: the-clyde
By Michele DeVinney
WHATZUP FEATURE WRITER
With the release of her self-titled debut album in 1988, Melissa Etheridge immediately presented the voice and music that was to define her career to this day. Her raspy, emotional, and confessional performances caught the ear of a ready audience with two songs — "Bring Me Some Water" and "Like the Way I Do" — gaining radio airplay quickly after the album's release.
But in the 30 years since, Etheridge has come to be defined as more than a recording artist, though she continues to release new music regularly including The Medicine Show this year. She is also a cultural icon, a social activist, and a cancer survivor who chose to share many of her private successes and challenges as willingly as she has her music.
While some of those choices have made her controversial to some, it has also more deeply endeared her to her loyal fans and beyond, providing an inspiration and example for those who admire her.
The Music doesn't change
In those three decades both the music industry and the world have changed tremendously, but one thing that hasn't changed is Etheridge's approach to her music.
"Things really did change a lot by the late '90s," she said. "The technology has changed, and digital is about 10 times as fast now. Most of the time that's good, but sometimes you need to slow down, take the time to make sure you know what you're doing. My producer for The Medicine Show is John Shanks, and fortunately he and I were on the same page on that. John has a studio in his home, and his studio is just amazing. It was a magnificent experience, really a delight."
Etheridge has always been generous with her appreciation for those with whom she works, but she has also lavished praise on those who helped form her own musical journey as well as those who helped pave the way for her career.
A regular on shows like Behind the Music or Biography, Etheridge was always happy to provide insight and appreciation for her fellow performers such as Janis Joplin and Pat Benatar. Now, after she herself has paved new roads for performers who came after her, she finds herself recognized for the influence and inspiration she has inspired.
"That always means so much," Etheridge said. "The young artists I meet that are playing rock n' roll, that are writing songs, they come up to me now and are not afraid to declare that I'm one of their influences. For awhile there were some that were a little skittish about it, but it's nothing like that anymore. They are happy to tell me, and I just love that."
NO going backward
The skittishness of some likely began the weekend of Bill Clinton's first Inauguration when Etheridge officially came out, not only announcing that she is a lesbian but taking a firm political stance on LGBTQ issues ever since. Her own romantic history has played out in a very public way.
Now married for the second time and the mother of four children (her oldest recently graduated from Columbia University), Etheridge visits Fort Wayne during Pride Month and continues to speak on issues which affect the community.
Although there have been some recent setbacks, Etheridge feels that the momentum is too strong, and that there's no going backward.
"The reason people are pushing back so hard is because we've come so far," she said. "We've gained so much ground on women's rights, on equality. There's so much diversity now. I walk around cities all over our great country, and I see so many beautiful people of all shapes and sizes, of all kinds of backgrounds, and it's beautiful to see them coming together. So I do see a beautiful future for all of us. Right now some people are thriving on the fear so they're going to push and push and try and try, but we're not going back.
"I was at my daughter's graduation the other day, and these young people don't care about those things. We're watching the downfall of the patriarchy, and they aren't going to be able to use those politics of division. There are too many young people coming along who aren't buying it."
Overcoming Cancer
One other challenge Etheridge faced in the public eye was her breast cancer diagnosis 15 years ago.
Using her platform to raise awareness, Etheridge famously took the Grammy stage bald from her chemotherapy treatments. Her performance that night of Joplin's "Piece of My Heart" brought down the house and inspired India.Arie's song "I Am Not My Hair."
"Fifteen years now I've been cancer free," she said. "It is not in my life anymore. It really changed my life because it came at a time that I was super stressed and was not eating right. I learned from that experience that my health is the most important thing, and I really take care of myself."
She still delights in sharing her music with her fans and the audiences who keep coming out to hear her play. She loves sharing her new music but also appreciates how many still enjoy her older material.
"I am always so grateful to play the songs that people want to hear. I'm grateful that they want to hear 'Come to My Window,' 'Bring Me Some Water, 'Like the Way I Do,' and I just have too much fun sharing those with the audience. But I play for two hours plus so there's plenty of time to play those and some of the deeper songs, to say, 'Let's go back to that album.'"
While there are no doubt more albums in Etheridge's future, she isn't concerned about that now and is slowing down, taking that extra time, and she is happy to do it with her fans on this current tour.
"I'm just focused on touring right now," she said. "Taking a breath. Living with The Medicine Show and enjoying every single song. I'm just happy being in the moment right now."

This week's editions of the journal Science include a perspective piece by University of Notre Dame researcher Rob Nerenberg on the microbial reduction of perchlorate. The piece offers comments on a new paper in the journal that changes several paradigms about perchlorate-reducing microorganisms.
Nerenberg, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering and earth sciences, points out that roughly 20 years ago, investigators discovered that perchlorate, a chemical widely used in rocket propellants and explosives, was present in many water supplies across the United States. Perchlorate can inhibit thyroid function, potentially leading to developmental problems in fetuses and infants. The public outcry led to intense research on perchlorate and its remediation.
Nerenberg notes that the previously known perchlorate-reducing bacteria were closely related to each other, and had a specialized two-enzyme pathway: one enzyme to reduce perchlorate to chlorite, a toxic byproduct, and a second enzyme to detoxify chlorite by splitting it into oxygen and innocuous chloride. The oxygen provided further energy for the bacteria.
The new paper in Science reveals that the attribute for perchlorate reduction is not limited to a narrow group of microorganisms. Also, it can be done without the second detoxifying enzyme by using a chemical detoxification reaction. By following the authors' strategy for culturing their microorganisms, researchers may find an even greater diversity of perchlorate reducers.
Nerenberg has developed new types of perchlorate-reducing bioreactors including hydrogen-based, membrane-supported biofilm reactors and microbial fuel cells. He also has studied novel species of perchlorate-reducing bacteria that have unique kinetic behavior. Most recently, he is exploring the possible ecological role of the special second enzyme, called the chlorite dismutase, which has been found in non-perchlorate reducing bacteria.


Saturday night we went to see Vishal Vaid (see this thoughtful interview at MyBindi) at Joe's Pub in New York City. It was pretty great -- he and his band have found what I think is just the right way to blend the traditional bhajan/ghazal style of music with a few modern, 'fusion' elements. I'm not sure if Vaid is planning to put out a solo CD; I think he probably should.
I'm glad to see Vaid going in a new direction here, aiming for a return to a style of music approaching conventional light-classical style of bhajan/ghazal singing. The electronics are completely out. When Karsh Kale did come into the performance for the last two songs, he was playing live drums. There's more emphasis on song structure, and on the content of the songs themselves. The poetry of forbidden love and the meditations on life and death -- the truly priceless heritage of the Indo-Islamic literary tradition -- come to the foreground. Say goodbye to ambience, and hello to a (dynamic and evolving concept of) the real thing.
Though Vaid's music is as a whole much closer to the traditional ghazal style, there are still many things Vaid is doing that deviate from what you hear in Jagjit Singh, for instance. I'm not an expert (to say the least) on this, but to my ear he is using a much wider vocal range, and considerably more emphasis on improvisation. Vaid works the tension between the formal austerity of the ghazal and the wild expressivism of the Qawwali aria.
Vaid takes the classical tradition seriously, and perhaps modernizes it in a controlled way. Others (in recent years) have tended to approach the tradition as more of a mining operation.
Vaid also does some vocals on Karsh Kale's new CD Liberation. I haven't heard it yet, so I'm not sure whether what I saw on Saturday is a trend that Kale is also following. Maybe when I get the CD I will write a follow-up.
Ah, lucky you. I tried to get tickets to the Vishal Vaid show at Joe's Pub and it was sold out! Great that it was sold out, but damnit -- I wish I got to see it. I've seen Vaid sing at several of Karsh Kale's shows, and am a big big fan. I've also talked to him on several occasions, and like Karsh, he's so absolutely down to earth (something too many musicians are not).
But I have to comment on what you call the "gimmickry" of the electronic music -- I think the way Karsh and others present electronic music is in a new-fashioned organic way, sans gimmickry (i believe he even mentions in his mybindi interview that his thing is to recreate electronic music as more organic). Maybe i'm also sensitive b/c that's close to my bread-and-butter style of music production.
But listening to Realize again over the past few days, I think I stand by the claim that it is a little over-run by "ambience." I personally am more engaged when vocals are not just "vocals" but actual songs. Some of the tracks with Vishal Vaid do transcend the status of "vocals," but not all. And there are several tracks with ethereal female vocals that aren't doing a lot.
But I think one of the reasons its audience has remained sort of small is that it hasn't really given vocalists the opportunity to come forward in the mix. Right now almost the entire genre is oriented around producers, most of whom limit themselves to percussion. It's quite radical, but I think a lot of people (myself included, some of the time) are left wondering who to root for.
I think Vishal Vaid will take things to a different level because he is almost conventional: he's presenting himself as a songwriter and charismatic personality.

Congressman DeSaulnier's Statement on the Iran Nuclear Proposal
Washington, DC – Congressman DeSaulnier issued the following statement today in support of the Iran Nuclear Proposal, also known as the Iran Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA):
"As a freshman Member of Congress, I looked for every opportunity to study the proposed deal. I have fully reviewed the accord including the classified sections. I was personally briefed by President Obama and members of the National Security Council and have heard presentations from Secretary of State John Kerry and Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, an expert on nuclear matters. I have also received letters and testimony from experts including a letter sent by five Nobel laureates and veteran makers of nuclear arms and former White House science advisers who describe the deal as being far better than we could have imagined.
"On the opposing side, I traveled to Israel and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as Israeli leaders, scholars, and negotiators. I saw firsthand the conflict that has been ruminating in the Middle East for thousands of years, and I continue to staunchly support the U.S.-Israel relationship.
"Most importantly, I listened to residents of our district. Through a series of five town halls as well as mobile district office hours, phone calls, emails, and in-office meetings this summer, I heard the opinions of our community.
"At the heart of my decision is supporting a deal that best preserves long-term peace in the Middle East and creates security and stability for the United States. I believe this accord is our best option for achieving this goal.
"First, this proposal stands on its merits and is our best chance to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon; it increases the time it would take for Iran to build a nuclear weapon from 2-to-3 months to a year.
"Next, this historic accord is unanimously supported by the UN Security Council and has the backing of international organizations and countries across the political spectrum. Its enforcement will be strengthened by this unified front. If the United States walks away, the accord will either fall through or its enforcement will be significantly weakened.
"No one believes this proposal is perfect, but going it alone has not stopped Iran on their path toward a nuclear weapon. United Nations sanctions have fallen short. It is time we put diplomacy into action."

that he said: We went to Amr b. al-As and he was about to die. He wept for a long time and turned his face towards the wall. His son said: Did the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him not give you tidings of this? Did the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) not give you tidings of this? He (the narrator) said: He turned his face (towards the audience) and said: The best thing which we can count upon is the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah. Verily I have passed through three phases. (The first one) in which I found myself averse to none else more than I was averse to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and there was no other desire stronger in me than the one that I should overpower him and kill him. Had I died in this state, I would have been definitely one of the denizens of Fire. When Allah instilled the love of islam in my heart, I came to the Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said: Stretch out your right hand so that may pledge my allegiance to you. He stretched out his right hand, I withdrew my hand, He (the Holy Prophet) said: What has happened to you, O 'Amr? replied: I intend to lay down some condition. He asked: What condition do you intend to put forward? I said: should be granted pardon. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Are you not aware of the fact that islam wipes out all the previous (misdeeds)? Verily migration wipes out all the previous (misdeeds), and verily the pilgrimage wipes out all the (previous) misdeeds. And then no one as or dear to me than the Messenger of Allah and none was more sublime in my eyes than he, Never could I, pluck courage to catch a full glimpse of his face due to its splendour. So if I am asked to describe his features, I cannot do that for I have not eyed him fully. Had I died in this state had every reason to hope that I would have bee among the dwellers of Paradise. Then we were responsible for certain things (in the light of which) I am unable to know what is in store for me. When I die, let neither female mourner nor fire accompany me. When you bury me, fill my grave well with earth, then stand around it for the time within which a camel is slaughtered and its meat is distributed so that I may enjoy your intimacy and (in your company) ascertain what answer I can give to the messengers (angels) of Allah.
Umar saw a silken cloak over a man for sale and requested the Prophet (SAW) to buy it in order to wear it on Fridays and while meeting delegates. The Prophet (SAW) said, "This is worn by the one who will have no share in the Hereafter." Later on Allah's Apostle (SAW) got some silken cloaks similar to that one, and he sent one to 'Umar. 'Umar said to the Prophet (SAW) "How can I wear it, while you said about it what you said?" The Prophet (SAW) said, "I have not given it to you to wear, but to sell or to give to someone else." So, 'Umar sent it to his brother at Makkah before he (his brother) embraced islam.
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: If anyone says on hearing the Mu'adhdhin: I testify that there is no god but Allah alone. Who has no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger, (and that) I am satisfied with Allah as my Lord, with Muhammad as Messenger. and with islam as din (code of life), his sins would be forgiven. In the narration transmitted by Ibn Rumh the words are:" He who said on hearing the Mu'adhdhin and verity I testify." ' Qutaiba has not mentioned his words:" And I."


It's the historic heart of Nottingham, where people go to meet one another and find their way towards the shops, bars and restaurants that line its streets. The Lace Market is as good a focal point as any for a trip around the city centre, but what makes this particular part of Nottingham so interesting?
Well, we're about to give you a whistle-stop tour of all the sights and attractions in and around the Lace Market, from old buildings to unique shops and bars. Once we're done, you can get exploring without having to stray too far.
Also known as the Shire Hall, this quirky independent museum has, like much of the Lace Market, been renovated whilst retaining its look. Here, you can learn all about the museum's history as Nottingham's law courts and gallows, as well as the history of criminal justice in general.
Less than a couple of minutes from the museum, this impressive church has stood in Nottingham for around six centuries, acting as more than just an ordinary place of worship. Receiving a Grade I listing, its soaring steeple and recently installed paving will help to calm the senses and get an idea of its importance to this part of the city.
Most days, this small, independent theatre gives space to amateur and up-and-coming playwrights, actors and companies for their productions. It's one of the best places to seek out new and interesting plays, while the building itself is one of the most visually interesting in the Lace Market area, its cozy little auditorium being the most intriguing of all.
A small Italian restaurant on St Mary's Place, The Pelican Club also happens to be a lively jazz venue, where you can order a cocktail while listening to a sax solo! There are usually a few performances throughout the week, while it tends to have a laid-back atmosphere that is welcome after a long day of sightseeing.
A winding pedestrian street that connects both sides of the Lace Market, it's home to a few of the nightclubs ad bars in the area. The ornate windows of Broadway's buildings, coupled with the vivid red brickwork will take you back to a time when the Lace Market was brimming with lace traders from all over the world.
One of the trickier streets to navigate in this part of town, High Pavement is also home to St Mary's Church, the Justice Galleries and, at the western end, Nottingham Contemporary, a modern art gallery and cafe. You'll get a sense of what the Lace Market is all about, all whilst knowing that there's more to Nottingham than the Old Market Square.

Chevy Bolt EV electric car range and performance in winter: one owner's log
John Voelcker January 30, 2018
The arrival of the first affordable long-range electric car on the market has naturally led some owners to push the car in a way that they might not do with a plug-in car offering just 80 miles of battery range. The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV, EPA-rated at 238 miles combined, removes most daily range anxiety and allows owners to cover predictable commutes for several days before plugging in, if they choose. But what about more strenuous usage? Our reader D Gadotti of Western Canada put a white Bolt EV through its paces in some of the snowiest weather any electric car may have seen. What follows...

Helsinki Electric Car Owners Test Cold-Weather Capabilities
We've all heard stories about woefully low range from electric cars in icy climates, but just how suited are EVs to very cold conditions? That's what a bunch of Finnish electric car owners decided to find out, led by Finland's Electric Traffic program. Nine electric vehicles participated in a winter drive from Helsinki Olympic Stadium, to Senate Square in front of Helsinki cathedral. In temperatures of minus 20 degrees celsius (-4 Fahrenheit), cars like the 2011 Nissan Leaf, three Peugeot iOns (the French company's re-badged Mitsubishi "i"), a Mercedes-Benz Vito E-CELL van and a Toyota Prius...

Donovan Gets 100th Cap
by The Yank on June 11, 2008
After missing two high profile friendlies with a pulled groin (insert penis joke here, if you like), Landon Donovan took the field for the U.S. MNT on Sunday for the 100th time. It is a great accomplishment, and one LD, who is often villified both at home and definitely abroad, should be celebrated for. But for some reason he isn't, is he?
That's because there is a huge contingent of "Landycakes" haters out there. I understand the anti-Donovan rhetoric. I just don't buy into it.
Yes, he flopped in Germany. No other way to describe it. He played poorly. He looked like he didn't care. He probably didn't, too. He wanted to be in the U.S. and he got what he wanted.
We selfishly wanted him abroad though. We wanted him to hone his skill against the best, not dominate his American mates. But in the end, what we want didn't really matter.
Yes, he also flopped at the 2006 World Cup. He was supposed to be our leader, and he looked like a whiny little wimp. We wanted to see him race down the field with his trademark pace, but instead he looked minimalized and frustrated.
Doesn't anybody remember the 2002 World Cup? Doesn't anyone recall how he played with urgency, skill and charisma? Doesn't anyone recall how his two crucial goals helped the U.S. MNT make it farther in that tourney than they ever have in the modern era? Or that he was voted Best Young Player by the international community, a community that generally despises him?
Naysayers be damned! By the time his career is over, Donovan will be the all-time leading scorer both for the MNT and for MLS, a double feat we all should admire. Oh yeah, and he is also the MNT all-time leader in assists. Not too shabby for a guy who just turned 26.
When the sun sets on his career, he will have to be considered the greatest player to ever suit up for the U.S. There's really not much of an argument for anyone else, as I see it.
Listed at 5'8″, but standing at what appears to be about a Tom Cruisish 5'6″, Donovan has overcome his small frame to succeed as a striker. Here's to hoping he can also overcome his recent international goal-scoring funk (and his lingering groin issues) to produce big for the U.S. in the qualifiers.
At the end of the day though you can't feel too sorry for Donovan.
After all, he gets to go home to her every night…

Screening Prompts: Webisodes
How do these webisodes imagine and address their audience? How can we compare their transmedia logics to that of FlashForward? How does the imagined transmedia-savvy audience shape or influence the narrative form of the webisode? Does the transmedia audience imagined by The Resistance seem significantly different from the audience imagined/constructed by Chasing Dorota? And in turn, do these two series approach the possibilities of webisodes as transmedia narrative differently?

Screening Prompts: FlashForward
We've seen a range of ways in which media texts use invitational strategies to engage viewers, and we've seen what viewers do in response. In Gossip Girl, we've seen a representation *of* viewer engagement through technology (and that representation might be understood as an invitational strategy of its own…)
For FlashForward, I'd like us to now consider the impact of these invitational strategies (and the assumption of audience engagement) on the form of the media itself. How does the assumption of audience behavior impact the series' narrative project, character development, formal language, and representational strategies?

Screening Prompt: Gossip Girl
Drawing from your Blogging book, how does Gossip Girl envision the power of the blogger? The reader? The cultural participant? How do digital technologies translate into power struggles, and between whom?
What audience do you feel Gossip Girl is addressing, and in what way? What forms of invitiation for teleparticipation does Gossip Girl use? Do you think its invitational strategies are effective?
How might we read Gossip Girl as addressing/hailing a millennial audience? How might we read it as a representation of the millennial generation as contemporary (digital) media audience and/or author?
Building on our conversation on Monday, do you feel aspiration, nostalgia, generational recognition, or othering at play in your engagement with Gossip Girl?

art / culture / Out and About / sacramento / Words.
The dead were among us in Midtown last weekend, as hundreds of people gathered to celebrate the Mexican tradition Día de los Muertos. In its fourth year in Sacramento, the two-day Day of the Dead event was held at 20th and J streets, where dozens of altars were created to honor loved ones who have passed. Altars included photos of the deceased as well as pan de muerto (bread of the dead), sugar skulls, items like music and instruments, foods and drinks that they enjoyed in life, and marigolds, which are meant to welcome the dead home from their journey. Catrinas young and old were on hand to represent death, with faces painted as skeletons and highlighted with bright and elaborate colors.
In a culture like ours where death is often regarded as taboo, it is refreshing to see this rich tradition honoring and celebrating the dead come to life in our own backyard.
An altar on display at 20th and J Saturday and Sunday.
A woman costumed as a catrina – a representation of the dead.

Paintings from John S. Huerta Arte Studio were a popular place for spectators during the event.
A large crowd flowed in and out of the Dia de los Muertos event Saturday.

111 min. 20th Century Fox. Director: John Hamburg. Cast: Zoey Deutch, James Franco, Tangie Ambrose, Bryan Cranston, Megan Mullally, Keegan-Michael Key.
Actors often fall prey to the limited thinking of typecasting, or being cast primarily in roles presumed to be their "type," but it's a problem not exclusive to talent in front of the cameras. A screenwriter named John Hamburg co-wrote the hit Hollywood comedy Meet the Parents, and went on to a career as a director (the comedies Along Came Polly and I Love You, Man). So it's no surprise to find that 20th Century Fox brought Hamburg on to direct and co-script Why Him?, a movie that nakedly apes Meet the Parents, only with a twist: this time the point of view doesn't belong to the son-in-law-to-be but rather the father, horrified by the fiancé chosen by his daughter.
As with Meet the Parents, much of the appeal of the film rests with the leading players. Bryan Cranston, busting out the comedy chops honed on TV's Malcolm in the Middle, plays Ned Fleming, CEO of a Michigan printing company on the decline in our paperless-trending world. While the screws keep tightening on his business and threatening layoffs to beloved workers, Ned gets some other disconcerting news: his 22-year-old daughter Stephanie (Zoey Deutch)—a student at Stanford—has been secretly dating 32-year-old tech magnate Laird Mayhew, played by Palo Alto's own James Franco.
And so the Christmas-get-together plot pits considerably out-cool-ed dad Ned against Laird, a sweet-natured guy who's nevertheless blithely douche-y—from his conspicuous consumption (a 2018-model computerized Japanese toilet/bidet) to his tattoos and pornstache. Most of the comedy relies on generation-gap gags or, indeed, 2016-model toilet humor as Ned flails on Laird's nouveau-riche turf, complete with oddball lawn-to-table menu and an artwork consisting of a moose suspended in its own urine ("It's meant to symbolize the way our culture has imprisoned our minds").
Why Him? is nothing if not formulaic, but it has its passing charms, like Megan Mullally's fully committed, fully amusing performance as Ned's wife Barb (plus Keegan-Michael Key's as Laird's try-hard valet) and its essentially generous nature, trusting in Stephanie's promise that Laird's "heart is always in the right place." Occasionally, there's an interesting bit of satire, like the young people being cheerily comfortable with a total social transparency (a.k.a. a total lack of privacy).
Ultimately, the hacky plot (partly credited to Franco's buddy Jonah Hill) is also too primal not to work, even if it is little more than the frame on which to hang stupid jokes, several of which you'll see coming a mile away (a silly cameo appearance, the fate of the urine-filled moose tank). In the end, to the extent that the movie works, it works because of Cranston and Franco, who work hard and smart to make their characters always at least as believable as they are funny.

Clothing kids in need
Cleveland County's unemployment rate sits at 7 perecent.
Sixty-four percent of students in Cleveland County Schools classrooms qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Buying school supplies and back to school clothing can be difficult for families around the county.
First in Families is holding a back-to-school clothing drive and the event is open to the public.
The non-profit started the clothing drive three years ago.
"We had a lot of requests for back-to-school clothes and we wanted to fill these requests with what little money we have," said Lori Maddox, First in Families resource consultant. "We began collecting gently used clothes and started from there. It's grown a lot."
First in Families collects clothing, shoes, coats, school supplies and toiletries for children in need.
"The way we base it to keep track of clothing, is price out clothes for $2 or $3," Maddox said. "Last year we gave away roughly $10,000 of clothes."
First in Families primarily serves children with developmental disabilities such as cerebral palsy or autism.
"The families let us know what they need and we try to find out a way to get what they need either through donations or connecting families with businesses in the community," she said.
The non-profit holds other fundraisers to help costs with families. First in Families is hosting a bingo fundraiser on Friday, July 18, at the Achieve Learning Center.
Those served by First in Families are invited to the clothing giveaway.
"We call the families that we have served over the past year and invite them," Maddox said.
The first two hours of the giveaway is open to those with developmental disabilities. The rest of the afternoon, the clothing giveaway is open to everyone, she said.
"Some of the clothing is new and still has the tags on it," Maddox said. "All of it is gently used. We don't give away any clothing that we wouldn't want to put our own family in."
First in Families started collecting clothing in the spring and the drive continues until the giveaway.
"The families are usually really thankful for what they find," Maddox said. "The families are amazed to find such nice things, and it's free."
When is the clothing giveaway?
Saturday, August 7, starting at 10 a.m. at the Achieve Learning Center, 1635 East Dixon Blvd.
10 a.m. to 12 p.m. is Clients of First in Families
Starting at 12 p.m. is open to the public
How can I donate?
Clothing can be dropped off at the Achieve Learning Center in Shelby at 1635 East Dixon Blvd.
Call Lori Maddox at 704-689-6648 for more information.
First in Families is holding a bingo fundraiser on Friday, July 18, at the Achieve Learning Center.
Starts at 10 a.m. at .50 cents per game. Pizza and drinks are also for sale.

My ideal clients
-women's mindset coach
life coaching for women
42 year old Tara is the oldest of three girls. She has always considered herself a mother figure. She's a married mother of two daughters (19 and 21). She and her two younger sisters own a chain of high end hair salons in Orlando. This has been a dream of hers since she was in her twenties, but unfortunately it's turning into a nightmare. The problem - Tara is doing everything. Her sisters are busy traveling, spending money, and leaving her to take care of everything - including taking their father to his weekly dialysis treatments, which by the way, is a 45 minute drive one way.
On top of that, both of her daughters are in college and they expect Tara to be at their beck and call (which she finds herself doing more often than not). Her husband tries to help out whenever he can, but he's busy with his own career as a high school football coach. To add to her already stressed life, her doctor just diagnosed her with diabetes (probably caused by her stress and the few pounds she's put on from binge eating). She has yet to tell her family of her recent diagnosis.
Because Tara has always taken care of everyone, she doesn't want anyone brooding over her. She also still needs to hire some reputable stylists. The friends her sisters hired have proven to be more of a headache than anything. She's considering buying her sisters out and starting from scratch as their poor management skills are ruining the reputation of their salons. She hates letting everyone down and doesn't want to cause a riff in her family, but knows something has to give or she could soon find herself hospitalized or worse - dying prematurely.
Meet Peggy, a 45 year old daycare worker from Boise, Idaho. She has been in the childcare industry for over 20 years now and is the mother of twin 16 year old girls. Peggy loves children and has a degree in early childhood education. She also recently took some business classes at a local community college.
Peggy is recently divorced from her husband of 18 years (Stan) and they now have joint custody of their girls. She's always been family-oriented and becoming a single mother is the last thing she thought she would do. Her once stable and comfortable life is now gone. It's now filled with trying to see who gets the girls for holidays and weekends. With the steady income of her husband gone and now split between two households, Peggy has been struggling to make ends meet. Her girls are experiencing difficulty in school as the stress of the divorce has been hard on them.
She's considering leaving the job she has loved doing since day one, but she may have to give it some serious thought. As rewarding as it is, it's barely enough to pay the bills. Peggy hates the thought of having to leave her kids though, not to mention the wonderful parents who entrust her to teach them everyday. Trying to figure out ways to make some extra money on the side, she's tried her hand at babysitting as a second source of income, but that hasn't turned out well.
She's worried and afraid of what the future holds for both her and her girls, but she's a fighter and knows there has to be light at the end of the tunnel.
Marlene, a youthful 52 year old from Savannah, Georgia, has been married to her husband Ed (10 years her senior) for over 30 years. She had all three of their sons by the time she was 25. She and Ed also have 4 grandchildren they adore.
Now that the kids are grown and Ed has finally retired from his job as a professor at a local college, Marlene doesn't know what to do with her life. She thought once he retired they would do more traveling, but all Ed wants to do is play golf all day - every day. This was not what Marlene had in mind when she envisioned what their life would be like once Ed retired.
Marlene is known as the life of the party and always enjoyed hosting dinner parties for her husband's colleagues during the holidays. She's also known around town as the southern socialite. Marlene sure does know how to throw a good party (with all the bells and whistles). But now that Ed has retired, the dinner parties have dwindled down to almost nothing.
Her major in college was hospitality management, but she dropped out in her sophomore year to marry Ed. Marlene has spent the last 30 or so years as a homemaker. Raising her sons and taking care of the family and home is all she has known for the past three decades.
Because of her zest for life, Marlene needs something she can put her time and effort towards. The last thing she wants, is to grow miserable and waste her energy on doing nothing, like she's seen most of the women in her family do.

Although my clients may share similar circumstances (lack of self-assurance to set boundaries, self-sabotaging mindsets, making major transitions in their lives, etc.), it's necessary she has an individualized plan customized specifically for her and her needs. This is essential in order to get the optimum results she deserves.
The following characters are fictional, however, their situations and scenarios are not. You probably know or have known someone in your life who fits the description of one of these women, or perhaps one of these women could be you. Different name, different age, but similar situation . . .


Cigarette smoking is the inclination of many people, even though this is a life-threatening addiction. Girls and boys, women and men still smoke all kinds of cigarettes: discount cigarettes, mentolate cigarettes or cheap European cigarettes. Even though there are so many cigarettes on the market today, they are basically the same with small changes in taste here and there.
All cigarettes are made from the same ingredients that include filter materials, tobacco, paper, additives and paper gums. Only change the speed and place of manufacture of these cigarettes. Cheap cigarettes in Europe are available at discount prices, because the costs associated with the manufacture of these cigarettes are significantly lower than the costs associated with the production of the same cigarettes in the United States. That's why you can get cheap Winston cigarettes, cheap camels and cheap Salem cigarettes from Salem.
In addition, cigarettes produced in Europe are manufactured and supplied mainly from duty-free zones in Eastern Europe. This is because these cigarettes are not taxed, they are available for free, even with the simultaneous addition of shipping costs. However, due to import tariffs in different countries, people tend to smuggle cheap cigarettes from Europe, to save a few dollars.
Although the composition of cheap variety of cigarettes types are relatively the same, there is a change in the flavors of these different types of cigarettes. These changes are associated with additives and preservatives, which are added to cigarettes, and the storage time of cheap European cigarettes. European cigarettes are usually sent by registered mail to their destination, and it takes between two and three weeks to deliver cigarettes. This leads to a change in the taste and feel of cigarettes. Only a chronic smoker can understand the difference between these two types of cigarettes.
With the help of the Internet, it is not necessary to buy cigarettes from retail shop. There are many cigarette delivery near me that you can do for your cheap cigarette purchases at a reduced price with the comfort of your home or office. This is one of the main advantages of buying online through online stores of tobacco products. All you need to do is look for several websites sitting in the comfort of your home, choose your cigarettes, make your payments and very soon, you will have your cigarettes on your doorstep.
Another advantage of buying cheap European cigarettes in online tobacco products stores is that they are available at a much lower price than in offline tobacco stores. In the online store you can buy three to four boxes of cigarettes in online stores of tobacco products per unit of cardboard cigarette. Therefore, although the delivery time may be a bit long, when you buy online, if you buy wholesale, you can afford to wait and save money in the long term.
The best choice of length, when you do not know how many people smoke, is to go with longer cigars. They will have a better flavor and are ideal for beginners. For people who are common smokers, buy them that have a larger diameter and have a richer taste that they like.


Not surprisingly, all the rivers are running high and still very cold for this time of year (Lake Champlain still has surface temps in the low 40's, coldest ever recorded for late May) Most of the rivers are in the high 40's to low 50's and fishing has been difficult and slow. A few insects are hatching (mostly BWO's, early Caddis and a few Sulphurs) but large hatches have been inhibited by the weather. The Sugar and Mascoma can be fished but water clarity varies daily. The White and Ottaquechee are in better shape but fishing much slower than normal for this time of year. What this means is that the best fishing is yet to come and will extend further into the summer than usual. Best bet right now are lakes and ponds where the surface temps are keeping the fish on top.

On July 17, 1862, Congress passed the Militia Act, calling on the president to employ "persons of African descent" in military or naval service. This was, importantly, a change in policy. At the start of the Civil War, the War Department refused to accept blacks who volunteered for the Union army. In its relative openness the Militia Act was, however, far from egalitarian in design or practice. The act expressly provided that black soldiers would be paid significantly less than white soldiers. Similarly, while the act did not preclude blacks from serving as Union army soldiers, Lincoln instead initially used blacks in noncombatant roles as scouts, laborers, and nurses. In this clumsy, discriminatory fashion the Union took its first halting steps towards what became one of the most important social, military, and political developments of the Civil War—the widespread participation of black soldiers in the war.
Black abolitionists, most importantly Frederick Douglass, from the start of the war lobbied furiously for the enlistment of black soldiers. Fighting a popular perception that blacks would run from battle, Douglass pressed for black regiments not only to aid the war effort, but as an invaluable political tool in the fight against slavery and for greater racial equality. In Douglass' Monthly, he declared: "Once let the black man get upon his person the brass letters, U.S.; let him get an eagle on his button, and a musket on his shoulder and bullets in his pocket, and there is no power on earth which can deny that he has earned the right to citizenship."
On the same day as passage of the Militia Act Congress, the Second Confiscation Act similarly authorized the president to employ blacks in the suppression of the rebellion in any manner he deemed best. The president soon thereafter, in the Emancipation Proclamation issued on January 1, 1863, announced his intention to enlist black soldiers and sailors. Union generals in the field in Kansas, in Louisiana, and the South Carolina Sea Islands had already, by the summer of 1862 organized black regiments. On August 25, 1862 the War Department officially authorized the recruitment of black regiments in the Sea Islands of South Carolina. A few months later, in October 1862, a Kansas regiment of black soldiers took part in a small battle in Missouri. Ten blacks were killed, and so became the first black combat casualties of the Civil War. A few months afterwards, Governor John Andrew of Massachusetts obtained permission from the War Department to form a black regiment. Andrew, however, received enough volunteers to form two regiments, and organized the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Regiments. In May of 1862 the War Department created a Bureau of Colored Troops. Ultimately, nearly 180,000 black troops fought for the Union army, comprising 10 percent of all Union soldiers.
The use of black soldiers sparked intense controversy in the North and South. In the Union, resistance to the use of black troops in battle remained steadfast. Black soldiers were consistently discriminated against in pay, in bounties, and even in receiving medicine. Only in June 1864, after a number of black soldiers complained to Lincoln himself, did the federal government end discriminatory pay practices. In the Confederacy the use of black troops provoked outrage. Some generals in the field declared that any black soldier captured would be summarily executed, and any white officer leading black troops be put on trial for promoting insurrection. This threat became real in April 1864, when Confederate troops under Nathan B. Forrest massacred hundreds of surrendering black soldiers at Fort Pillow, Tennessee. During the war, the extraordinary sacrifice of black troops in the field slowly changed Northern public opinion on the role of black troops. Most notably, the 54th Massachusetts Regiment lost nearly half its men in a heroic assault on Fort Wagner in Charleston Harbor on July 18, 1863, resulting in widespread commentary and admiration in the army and in the Northern press.
The increasing numbers of black solders and their heroic sacrifices, made nearly impossible any negotiated peace with the Confederacy that preserved slavery. Some black soldiers were free men before the war, but the majority of black soldiers were slaves at the beginning of the war. Lincoln, who credited black soldiers with providing "the heaviest blow yet dealt to the rebellion," made it clear he would not permit the enslaving of any soldier. Otherwise, he feared: "I should be damned in eternity for so doing." Black soldiers, it was recognized, were fighting to end slavery and their devotion to this struggle was perhaps the most powerful testimony against the continuing existence of the institution. Frederick Douglass was, in short, right. Once blacks in sufficient numbers put on a Union uniform and carried a gun into battle on behalf of the Union, a peace settlement preserving slavery was an increasingly distant possibility.

Militia Acts. From 1792 through 1916, Congress struggled to devise a policy to make the state citizen soldiery an effective reserve to augment the U.S. Army in national emergencies and yet preserve the militia's prerogatives as guaranteed in the Constitution. The Militia Act of 1792 left the militia, all able‐bodied men between eighteen and forty‐five, wholly under the control of the states. Although Congress approved a law in 1808 providing $200,000 worth of weapons to be shared among the states, and doubled the amount in 1887, the act left the nation with no reserve and dependent on untrained wartime volunteers.
The Militia Act of 1903, as amended in 1906 and 1908, increased federal aid to $4 million annually and recognized the National Guard as the "Organized Militia." The amended 1903 act deemed state units the first reserve to be called in any war. It limited federal control, however, and in the National Defense Act of 1916, Congress gave the army extensive control over National Guard officers and units, made state forces available for service overseas, and greatly increased financial support. As amended in 1920, provisions of the 1916 law essentially have governed federal‐state military relations to the present.

Marauders' New Leader Ready To Work
Date: August 10, 2021Author: Indiana Preps 1 Comment
Mike Kirschner's departure to Warren Central leaves big shoes for Vince Lidy to fill.
Kirschner, who took the head coaching job for the Warriors, leaves behind a talented program where his impact was highly felt. During Kirschner's first year in 2018, the team's record flipped to from 4-7 to 7-4. The Marauders kept their momentum going in 2019, winning 11 games and advancing to semi-state. The 2020 season was even better, finishing 12-1 and beating top 5A power New Palestine.
Will Mount Vernon's success continue under Lidy? The good news for Marauders fans is that Kirschner leaves behind a well-qualified man to lead in 2021. Lidy worked alongside Kirschner as the defensive coordinator since 2018, and current players on the roster are optimistic about what he brings to the table.
"He comes in every day to get better and certainly gives us the energy that we need to work hard. He's the electricity for us. whether we're up 30 or down 30 he's still going to coach hard and get the best out of his players to make us the best we can be," rising senior Ashden Gentry says. "He literally coaches every single player."
The Marauders have the potential to be a potent offense. Gentry, as well as quarterback Gehrig Slunaker, were 2020 IFCA Junior All-State Selections who will make a big impact in this fall. Slunaker was 144-of-286 for 1,889 yards and 22 touchdowns last season through the air.
"I am looking forward to Coach Lidy's energy," Slunaker said. "He brings an excitement and enthusiasm to him that we have never had here. He gets me jacked for just a summer workout. "He's going to allow me to be myself and relax on the field. He's going to get on me when I mess up, but he's going to push me to get better every day."
Gentry agrees, citing Lidy's high energy as something he is looking forward to.
"You should see the pictures we have of him jumping and screaming up and down the sidelines," Gentry says. "I can't wait for that again."
Prior to his arrival at Mount Vernon, Lidy coached at Hamilton Southeastern for 18 seasons. The Marauders will kick off the season at home in a matchup with 6A Noblesville.
"I think we all believe in our skill sets and trust each other and believe we can get as far in the postseason that Mount Vernon has ever been," Gentry says. "The momentum we have right now is something coach Lidy will carry on because he's already been here and he gets the vision."
"He is a player's coach," Slunaker added. "I think everyone is loving him as our head coach right now. He does everything for the players and for the better of the team. He is allowing us to have fun playing the game we love. The standard is the standard and the culture has not changed. We expect to be in a spot again this year with an opportunity to win. We have been beat the last two years by the eventual state champion, so we just need to get over that hump. I believe Coach Lidy is what we need to help us get over the hump."

Patakís or itás are the repositories of the oral tradition in our religion. They are the sum total of the wealth of wisdom left to us by our ancestors. Most often, they are the stories or myths that accompany the odu (letters or signs) that arise in divination, each letter having several Patakís that orient the practioner and the person coming to be 'seen' with the shells or Ifá. These stories depict how that particular odu operates and gives an example of how it might affect the person who has come to be 'seen'. The Patakí also tells the person what they need to do under the circumstances of that particular Odu.
The Patakís also serve as sacred precedents, one sometimes hearing that a certain ritual act, attitude or view 'has odu', meaning that it is upheld by tradition as shown in a Patakí.
One last note. The Patakís often have several meanings and it is only with time that a person develops a deep understanding of these 'receptacles of wisdom' contained within the odu.

Q: MySQL - INSERT INTO Table With a New ID I have two tables and I want to copy a row from one to the other. However they both use an auto incrementing ID number as the primary key which is preventing me from copying a row if the ID already exists in the other table.
What I want to do is:
INSERT INTO tableB SELECT * FROM tableA WHERE ID = 1

What I was thinking might be possible would be to store the row as a variable, temporarily set the ID to be blank, and then it will be assigned the next highest number once inserted into the new table?
Is something like this possible?
Edit:
Columns
ID, Deal_ID, Redeemed_At, Wowcher_Code, Deal_Title, Customer_Name, House_Name_Number, Address_Line_1, Address_Line_2, City, County, Postcode, Email, Phone, Date_of_Birth, Custom_Field, Marketing_Permission, Product_Name, Product_Options

A: You cannot use * (all columns) in this case  .. you must explicitally set the columns you need eg:
INSERT INTO tableB (col1, col2, col3)
SELECT col1, col2, col3
FROM tableA
WHERE ID = 1

avoinding the ID columns

A: Just select the columns without the ID.
INSERT INTO tableB SELECT name,age,any_other_column FROM tableA WHERE ID = 1

A: Try replace asterisks with fields list withouth ID
INSERT INTO tableB SELECT Field1,Field2,Field3...FieldXX FROM tableA WHERE ID = 1

The following text is part of the information you will receive with your Overweight Therapy Pack. The full text will include specifically suggested foods and use of the herbs.
Most of us know that due to emotional issues of one kind or another, we eat. And yes, it offers temporary relief. Another reason is fatigue, specifically adrenal exhaustion, from living our fast-paced lifestyles with fast foods as stop gaps while we're on our way to the next stressful situation. The effects of these behaviors soon also slow down the thyroid which slows down our metabolism, which we know makes us even bigger. Genes, of course, will play a role, especially when dietary habits are inherited.
The herbal preparations included in your Therapy Pack have been specifically formulated for overweight, based on centuries of observation and experience. They can assist in cleaning and retuning the body, thus helping to re-establish proper balance and function to food metabolism. In this way, they give the body the tools to heal without the threat of major side effects.
The WEIGHT REDUCTION Therapy Pack is a kit prepared to promote weight loss using herbal formulas to reduce sugar cravings, increase metabolism and to cleanse and support the intestinal tract toward improved regulation and absorption of nutrients.
Our patients typically begin showing results within a few weeks, with continued improvement over subsequent months. In combination with the included food and exercise plan, you'll enjoy improved overall health.
* Two exclusive Eve's Herbs proprietary blend herbal formulas specifically designed to help with sugar cravings and increasing the metabolism to assist with weight loss, along with a powerful detoxifier for the digestive system to effectively regulate, and move fiber through, the intestinal tract.
* Included FREE, Dr. Eve Campanelli's book, "Feeling Very Much Better" with short, concise and easy to read and use chapters which contain all the food and exercise recommendations, including foods to buy and foods to avoid (see Ch. 8 Hypoglycemia, Diabetes and the Pancreas) – PLUS a chapter with healthy recipes, all to reinforce the effectiveness of the herbal formulas.
