The past decade has seen many concerns for parents as to whether placing your child in daycare during the pre-kindergarten years has negative or positive effects on their long-term development and overall well-being. Of course the mother-infant bond is incredibly important, and should never be damaged, but the burning question is whether or not daycare actually does damage that bond, or if it has some positive effects that successfully counteract the negatives. Although the early studies seemed to focus solely on the harm done to children who are put into daycare, more recent studies show that out-of-home care does not appear to damage children's cognitive development or their social and emotional skills in the least-good news for parents!
Before you get too excited, most studies agree that if at all possible babies before the age of one do tend to do better when they are with their parent. You must also take into consideration the quality of daycare, as that will definitely have bearing on the final outcome as well. As all parents are aware, you must choose your daycare wisely, and ensure there is a good adult to child ratio, and that all necessary safety features are in place. Talk to lots of other parents whose children attend a particular daycare as they are usually always the very best source of information in making your final decision. If the majority of the parents are happy with the daycare, and the children mostly all seem happy, occupied and healthy, then it is probably a good choice. Depending on where you live, your daycare may or may not require licensing, however if a daycare is state-licensed, you can be fairly sure they have been through some fairly rigorous testing.
The parent who worries that his or her child's daycare may end up having more importance in the child's life than the child's family can relax. Even families who use full-time child care have every bit as much influence on their children as the families who use no outside child care. Parents should never feel as if they have relinquished control over their own child, because the family impact will still remain the highest for the children. Of course the day care your child is in will affect his or her development, however high quality day care-the critical component-is related to children who perform well on tests of social and emotional development as well as intellectual development. Low-quality child care can, of course, be the cause of poor performance in these areas. Even the children who were put into day care as babies, and show some negative effects by the age of two, have mostly overcome the negative by the age of three, and certainly by the time they begin kindergarten. Consider, however, that testing children's emotional and intellectual development at age two can be an unsteady gauge--two year olds are, after all, testing every boundary known to man, whether in day care or at home with mom.
In the end there is little solid evidence which points to the disruptive effects of daycare, and much of the newer evidence points to positive outcomes for most children in daycare, depending on the quality of the particular daycare as well as the home environment of the child.


I worked with Yifan from Atelier 5 before. She had a Wix website and we did some optimisation. It was time to move the website to a more suitable platform in order for Yifan to grow the business and pursue other avenues.
Yifan bought a new hosting package and give me access to the that and the domain name. We chose a theme closest to the one on the Wix version. Leaving the Wix version in place we ported everything over and created the WordPress website in the background.
We got as close to the existing site as was practical and installed the security plugin and all other necessary plugins. Once we were happy that the WordPress website was fit to go we switched the Domain name to point to the new one (changed Nameservers) and once that was done Yifan could cancel her Wix account.
We will continue to work with Yifan to develop the website further and optimise for the new part of the business.
If you want to know more about Atelier 5 then please visit the website.

Right now I'm blasting out into the universe so much knowledge on finding yourself and your purpose. Being in the process of uncovering your purpose is such an exciting one! Although it can feel scary and lonely at the same time.
AND we are heading into the final month of 2018… so what better time than now to invest some time and energy into discovering something brand new about yourself that you can take into 2019.
Let me tell you a story… A few years ago, 3 to be exact, I was LOST and feeling so alone. I was desperately searching for the light at the end of the tunnel guiding me towards my life purpose, the thing that would fill me with excitement, get me so jazzed that I would not want to go to bed at night and then be dying to wake up the next morning to get back to work. At that time I was spending a whole lot of time lying on my couch watching sitcom reruns and wondering what I was doing with my life.
Finally, I decided to take one of the biggest leaps of my life, quit my job, and moved to San Francisco on a whim that whatever I was searching for was waiting for me there.
That began the path of discovering my purpose and many books were involved in the process. I want to share my favorites with you to jumpstart you on YOUR path to purpose!
This book is a fictional book, but with the most amazing metaphor on finding your life purpose. This book helped me to not feel so alone on this quest of discovering my purpose and helped me see the beauty in the journey of the path to discovery as well as gave me faith in the fact that I had it inside me the whole time. I highly recommend this book to anyone on the journey of purpose.
"My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," said the boy. "Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself, and no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of it's dreams," replied the Alchemist.
This book literally JUMPED out a bookstore at me. It was hanging on a giant poster on the window of a bookstore in Portland, OR. After I saw the poster I couldn't stop thinking about it for 3 days until I finally went back and just bought it.
This book is exactly what you need if you are someone stuck in the spot of doing what you should do instead of following your MUST. Are you a people pleaser? Are you afraid to make a leap of faith? Are you unsure you can really do what you want? If so, this book is for you. And, it's beautiful.
This book is a MUST for anyone searching for their life's meaning. This book is 2 fold; the first part describing Viktor Frankl's experience of being the lone survivor of his entire family through his experience in a concentration camp during the Holocaust. His account is sobering and inspiring as he explains the reality of the theory "he who has a why to live for can bear almost any how." The 2nd portion of the book discusses his philosophy on how to discover the meaning of your life and inspires you to find meaning in WHATEVER part of the journey you may be on.
This book is perfect for one who is in the throes of the quest. It speaks to the happiness that is found along the journey of finding your passion. Where are you currently at? What are your current curiosities? How can you act on those to create something amazing inside yourself? Those and so many more questions are answered in this book.
My favorite quote from this book is, "It has become ever more clear to me that if I had spent my life avoiding any and all potential risks, I would have missed doing most of the things that have comprised the best years of my life." I second that statement 100%.
Once you have chosen a path to pursue, this book is the perfect guide for how to stick with it, create the courage you seek, and be happy no matter the situation. Not to mention, this book is hilarious, I laughed out loud through the whole thing and immediately subscribed to his podcast.
"Success comes from continually expanding your frontiers in every direction - creatively, financially, spiritually, and physically"
This is just a great guide for life. Period.
Anyways, whether you're an avid book reader like me, or just need a little kick in the pants to ignite your flame for discovering your purpose or pushing ahead through the fire, pick up one of these books and dive in. It is only through seeking knowledge that we find the answers.
And you won't want to miss the FINAL Series of the Finding Yourself Masterclass. This has been 4 months of INCREDIBLE expert speakers, insights, and invaluable shares that has been right at your fingertips. Don't miss the December Finding Yourself Masterclass, launching next Monday, December 3rd.

Wee problem looms after fire wipes world nappy supply
Time to stock up on modern cloth nappies...
The world could face a shortage of disposable nappies after an explosion and fire at a chemical plant in Japan that supplies as much as one fifth of the global market.
The blast, which killed a fireman and injured 35 other emergency service workers, occurred after a chemical reaction caused a fire on Saturday afternoon at the plant operated by Nippon Shokubai Co in the city of Himeji, near Osaka in central Japan.
Nippon Shokubai controls the largest share of the world market for the super-absorbent polymers used in nappy production.
According to the company, demand is so high that even before the fire its production facilities were required to operate at full capacity and it had announced plans to set up factories overseas. The Himeji plant produced 320,000 tons of the super-absorbent polymer, according to the Sankei newspaper, about 20 per cent of the global share.
The really bad news? Nippon Shokubai controls about one fifth of the world's production of super-absorbent polymers - used in the production of nappies.
The polymers soak up a baby's wee through hydrogen bonding with water molecules. It's what "pulls the wetness away".
A nappy that uses the polymers can absorb 50 times their weight of liquid.
For parents of babies still in nappies – stock up now. Prices are sure to go up.
Pressure will now increase on the company's other production facilities to meet the shortfall.
It is estimated that in Britain alone, more than three billion nappies are thrown away every year.

Q: Using Jones Matrices for HWP operation I think this is a simple question but I cant seem to find helpful answers on the net.
Anyway; I have a HWP that takes Horizontally polarized light to Diagonally polarised light;
ie; $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \left[ {\begin{array}{cc}
   1 & 1 \\       1 & -1 \      \end{array} } \right]=B$
I want to show confirm to myself that it takes left circularly polarized (lcp) light to rcp light (I think this is what is does).
However if I calculate $B\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \left[ {\begin{array}{cc}
   1\\       i \      \end{array} } \right]$, I get
$\frac{1}{2} \left[ {\begin{array}{c}
   1+i \\       1-i \      \end{array} } \right]$ .
Can someone please either tell me what I have done wrong or clarify that this last result is rcp light.
Thankyou.

A: You calculation is correct. Simply rewrite it a little as follows:
$$\frac{1}{2} \left[ {\begin{array}{c}
   1+i \\       1-i \      \end{array} } \right] = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\begin{array}{c}\exp\left(i\,\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\\\exp\left(-i\,\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\end{array}\right)$$
Now you're missing the following fact: polarization states are unchanged by pure phase scaling. So, you still have the same polarization if you multiply both elements of your vector by a phase factor $e^{i\,\theta},\,\theta\in\mathbb{R}$. So, multiply both factors by $\exp\left(-i\,\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$ and see what happens. You should get something more recognizable as the orthogonal circularly polarization state.

Q: I'm learning Redux and In the below application I'm Not getting "listings" in App.js. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? I'm learning Redux. Here I tried to build a simple app to understand the concept. Why can't I get listings in App.js? I've passed it from index.js through dispatch and I'm trying to receive it in useEffect in App.js.
index.js
I'm passing mockData as listings from index.js to App.js
import React, { StrictMode } from 'react';
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import { createStore, combineReducers, applyMiddleware } from 'redux';
import thunk from 'redux-thunk';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';

import App from './App';

const rootElement = document.getElementById('root');
const root = createRoot(rootElement);

const mockData = [
  {
      name: "Barry Johnson",
      age: 43,
  },
  {
      name: "Chris Evan",
      age: 25,
  },
];
const getAll = () => {
  return mockData;
};

const listingsReducer = (state = [], action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
      case 'INIT_LISTINGS':
          return action.data;
      default:
          return state;
  }
};
export const initListings = () => {
  return async dispatch => {
     const listings = await getAll();
     dispatch({
         type: 'INIT_LISTINGS',
         data: listings,
     });
  };
};

const store = createStore(listingsReducer, applyMiddleware(thunk));

root.render(
  <StrictMode>
    <Provider store={store}>
      <App />
    </Provider>
  </StrictMode>
);

App.js
Here inside useEffect where I'm logging listings, I'm getting undefined.
import React from "react";
import "./style.css";
import { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useDispatch, useSelector } from 'react-redux';
import { initListings } from './index.js';

export default function App() {
  const dispatch = useDispatch();
  const listings = useSelector((state) => state.listings)

  useEffect(() => {
    dispatch(initListings());
    console.log(listings);
  }, [dispatch]);

  return (

Start editing to see some magic happen :)

  );
}

A: In your reducer function use this listings is your reducer function :-
const listingsReducer = (state = {}, action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
      case 'INIT_LISTINGS':
          return {...state, listings : action.payload};
      default:
          return state;
  }
};


Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifshitz is one of the most significant work in physics. This is one of the most recommended book series in physics other than Feynman Lectures on Physics. The book requires some knowledge of the topic because the presentation of the material is little bit advance.

Being a partner is a nice and viable way to earn a living in the open source world and have an impact on society As we are no marketeers whatsoever I approached a guy I know who is partner at a marketing agency and he has agreed to spend half a day with us to find out what the messages would have to be, what we should do to have a maximum chance of being heard. My son is studying Communication and he is happy to do the follow up work as he can use that for his study.
We can also use our contacts at MAF Norge and an international fundraising consultant I know of to find out where we should publish or get attention for our story. If it makes sense I will probably do a CiviCRM meetup in Oslo early 2019.
@bjoernendres and myself have decided that we will try to do an outreach into Scandinavia. Our ambition would not be to get business ourselves but to grow the ecosystem. Based on our own experience we believe a country or region would need 2 elements to take off: - a group of interested NGO's that are willing to be the pioneers in their region - a partner that can provide support but also take the lead in organizing the local meetups and CiviCamps So we thought to come up with 2 messages: 1. CiviCRM is a good option for a non profit in Norway (with the showcase of MAF Norge) 1.

NAVEX Global and PwC recently sponsored a groundbreaking study from the Ethics Resource Center around Social Networking in the workplace. There was a lot covered in the study, so we've put the results in context for ethics and compliance officers. How can you act on the report findings – and utilize social media – to advance organizational goals?
The study gives employers some clear guidance on what works. One of the best conclusions from this report, in my mind, is that employers have some concrete numbers to back up the value of some common and practical compliance steps. Both having a policy and conducting training on social media change employee behaviors. These efforts improve compliance and reduce risk. It's not often that the compliance community gets data like this that can provide ROI and justify the investments they are making.
Yet, employers are not taking advantage of these simple tools. The actual percentage of employers with a policy or who conduct social media training is quite low. My advice? Organizations need to focus on social media policies and training in the coming year.
I was very surprised to see the retaliation number as high as it was for active social networkers (ASNs), or those who spend 30 percent or more of their day online. (Yes, 30 percent.) ASNs are more likely to see and to report misconduct (77 percent) than other U.S. workers (66 percent).
Unfortunately, they report being subjected to retaliation at a staggering rate as well. Fifty-six percent of ASNs who reported misconduct said they experienced retaliation – compared to only 18 percent of U.S. workers. Retaliation is a very significant legal risk area for employers of all sizes, meaning employers must be training employees and managers about this risk. The difference in those retaliation figures is so vast that it begs for additional research.
I also found it startling that ASNs were so willing to engage in behaviors that are clearly risk-creating for an organization. Fifty percent of ASNs would keep copies of confidential work documents for possible use in a next job, for example. And this group is also the most likely to change job within five years (72 percent of them). We know – from the report – that a large percentage of the ASNs are managers and senior managers, so they have access to a lot of confidential business information.
Host a moderated conversation group (think LinkedIn style). These groups allow compliance professionals to post content, questions, and stories – and then employees can respond.
Invite employees to submit videos regarding ethics and compliance topics. For example ask employees (and even business partners) to submit nominations for people they work with whose behaviors/actions demonstrate high levels of integrity. Share the submissions on a company intranet.
Create compliance videos (or use short form training videos like NAVEX Global's Bursts) that employees can share with each other. Let them help spread the word.
Start a company blog dedicated to ethics and compliance. Use this site to communicate values, explain what is meant by ethical performance, and share examples that are directly relevant to employees and managers. Best Buy has done a really great job with a public-facing blog run by their chief ethics officer, Kathleen Edmund. Consider allowing employees to submit stories and thoughts to the blog as well.
Create a compliance department intranet where employees and managers can share ethics and compliance resources (articles, websites, blogs, books, etc.) and where managers can add/download materials for team meetings or to facilitate further discussion.
Create a moderated wiki page; allow managers and employees to help create content.
Use social media tools (such as Facebook and YouTube) to publically share your organization's good deeds. Many large companies now communicate with the general public about their commitment to ethics and compliance.
Host internal webinars that allow employees to answer poll questions anonymously, and ask questions of senior leaders about ethics and compliance.
Think broadly: engaging employees through social media is about more than a full-blown experience like Facebook or LinkedIn. It can be an internal network or information sharing system that is fairly simplistic. It's about using technology to help start the dialog and encourage interaction.
Make it interactive: social media, by definition, is not one-way communication. It's participatory, collaborative and interactive.
Educate employees about proper use: teach employees how to use your tools properly and how to be brand ambassadors for your organization. EMC does a great job of this in the video they produced on social media policy for their global employee base.
Start with a focused approach: try one type of tool or method and really tend to it carefully.
Enlist content creators: if you want the experience to be successful you need to create content often; enlist the help of people who are dedicated or responsible for regularly generating content or discussions.
Post content on a very regular basis: you have to keep it interesting and refreshed if you want people to engage in a dialog.
Make it relevant: make the content interesting and relevant, and allow employees to comment or submit questions/information.
Tell good stories: find a way to share stories about managers and employees in your organization that are doing the right thing; you will set a good example and help build a more ethical culture.

Childish Gambino is being sued for copyright infringement for "This Is America"
Florida rapper Kidd Wes is the plaintiff behind the case
TMZ reported first, and Pitchfork confirms via court documents, that Florida rapper Kidd Wes is suing Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino for copyright infringement. Wes, whose real name is Emelike Wesley Nwosuocha, claims that Gambino's "This Is America" has 'substantial similarities' to his song "Made In America" from 2016. The lawsuit was filed in a New York federal court.
The list of defendants in Kidd Wes's lawsuit is quite extensive. In addition to Donald Glover, the defendants are: "This Is America" co-writer Young Thug, "This Is America" producer Lüdwig Goransson, Kobalt Music, RCA Records, Sony Music Entertainment, Young Stoner Life Publishing LLC, 300 Entertainment, Atlantic Records, Warner Music Group, Roc Nation, Universal Music Publishing Group, and Warner Chappell Music.
Kidd Wes first uploaded "Made in America" to SoundCloud on September 11, 2016. A document filed with the lawsuit shows that Wes was granted a copyright for his album Eleven: The Junior-Senior Year on May 24, 2017. "Made in America" is the closing song on Eleven, which got released later in 2017.
In the lawsuit, Kidd Wes and his lawyers argue that "the substantial similarities between both songs include, but are not limited to, nearly-identical unique rhythmic, lyrical, and thematic compositional and performance content contained in the chorus—or 'hook'—sections that are the centerpieces of both songs."

Kidd Wes and his attorneys are seeking damages from profit in at least 43 categories, including record sales, ringtones, ringback tones, endorsements, increased goodwill, any and all music publisher, record master, and record incomes, and increased value in negotiating 360 deals with record companies.

Govt distances itself from comments on return of Egyptian Jews
MENAJanuary 1, 2013
President Mohamed Morsy's administration is not responsible for recent comments by a Muslim Brotherhood leader encouraging the return of Egyptian Jews from Israel, spokesperson Yasser Ali stressed Tuesday.
Ali refused to comment on Freedom and Justice Party deputy Essam al-Erian's 27 December statement predicting the demise of Israel within 10 years, and calling on Jews living there to return to their original countries, including Egypt.
"These statements represent a personal point of view," Ali said, adding that the president's advisers do not speak on behalf of the administration.
Shura Council spokesperson Ahmed Fahmy also said Erian's comments do not represent either the council or the Freedom and Justice Party. The party recently made Erian majority leader of the Shura Council.
"Those are private comments he made as a politician, and they do not reflect the council's position, but rather his personal view. The council's official spokesperson is its speaker," Fahmy said during an interview with Al-Hayat satellite channel Tuesday.
"Jews did not leave Egypt forcibly during President Gamal Abdel Nasser's time, they departed willingly and with the help of organizations serving the Zionist entity. Jews took part in wars against Egypt and killed Egyptians in 1956, 1967 and 1973. Hostility is their creed," Fahmy claimed.
The presence of Egyptian Jews in the occupied Palestinian territories contributes to the Zionist occupation of Arab lands, and every Egyptian has the right to live in his country — nobody can deny that, Erian had said during an interview on privately owned Dream TV satellite channel Thursday.
"Why did Nasser expel them [the Jews] from Egypt?" he asked, claiming that Nasser's decisions contributed to the occupation of other Arab lands.
"Egyptian Jews should refuse to live under a brutal, bloody and racist occupation stained with war crimes against humanity," said Erian.
Erian reiterated his call Tuesday while speaking to reporters from independent newspapers at the Freedom and Justice Party's office. He said encouraging Jews to return to Egypt would prompt Russia and Ethiopia to do the same, thus hastening the resolution of the Palestinian crisis.
"This is like a dream," he said, "yet it can come true."
Lawyer Mohamed Salem filed a complaint with prosecutors on Saturday against Erian, demanding he be stripped of parliamentary immunity and interrogated for his remarks which, Salem said, endanger the country's sovereignty and unity. He also accused the Islamist leader of disseminating false information by suggesting that Arab and Egyptian Jews in the occupied lands, who left Egypt during Nasser's presidency, are to be blamed for the occupation.

The Road To Brexit Menu
Satire exploring Britain's troubled relationship with Europe

Arthur Mathews
Hannah Mackay
Cult favourite Matt Berry offers his unique take on Brexit, in this one-off comedy special to mark the passing of the Article 50 deadline.
Reuniting with collaborator Arthur Matthews for the first time since Toast Of London, Berry plays rogue historian Michael Squeamish, who's on a mission to discover the origins of Brexit and offer some interesting opinions on Britain's current plight along the way.
Through creative use of archive footage and filmed interviews, The Road To Brexit unashamedly plays fast and loose with the facts to create a joyously surreal whistle stop tour of Britain's relationship with Europe, from the 1950s right up to Brexit.

Q: Filtering arrays in JS I can't seem to figure this out.
I have two arrays. One of the arrays contains all the IDs of the other array, plus more.
var arr1 = [1,2,3,4,5]
var arr2 = [3,5]

My first array contains a lot more information which my second array does not (many other keys). I need to find a way to select all the elements of the first array that are present in the second array and return them so that I have just the elements of arr2 but with all the additional data in arr1. How can I do this?
EDIT: I should make it clear that in the first array, I am looking for specific IDs that match the indexes of the second array. So the solutions here are really good but not quite what I'm after. Example:
[ 0: { id: 1, name: "fred" } ...]

I want to match the id with my second array, not the index. Hope this makes sense!

A: Use filter and includes of Array.protitype.

var arr1 = [1,2,3,4,5]
var arr2 = [3,5,7]

console.log(arr1.filter(x=>!arr2.includes(x)));

arr2.forEach(function(x){
  if(!arr1.includes(x)){
    arr1.push(x);
  }
})

console.log(arr1);

A: I implemented a set data structure few months back, this is the difference function
function difference (firstarr,secondarr) {

    let diffSet = [];

    for ( let i = 0; i < secondarr.length ; i++ ) {
        let hasValue = secondarr.includes(firstarr[i]);
        if ( ! hasValue ) {
            diffSet.push(secondarr[i]);
        }
    }

    for ( let i = 0; i < firstarr.length ; i++ ) {
        let hasValue = secondarr.includes(firstarr[i]);
            if ( ! hasValue ) {
                diffSet.push(firstarr[i]);
            }
    }

    return diffSet;
};

console.log(difference([1,2,3,4],[3,4]));

Editorial: Don't forget the quiet heroes who helped save our democracy
The Editorial Board Dec. 27, 2020
Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, National Security Council Director for European Affairs, appears at the House Intelligence Committee impeachment inquiry hearing of President Donald Trump on Capitol Hill in Washington, Nov. 19, 2019.
Photo: ERIN SCHAFF, STF / NYT
They were fired, demoted or passed over in their jobs. Their lives and the well-being of their families were threatened. They faced harassment on the streets and savage attacks on social media.
Their offense? They chose to stand for democracy and the rule of law over the corrupt demands and machinations of President Donald Trump.
As the curtain falls on Trump's presidency, despite his best efforts, and America begins looking ahead to new leadership, we should pause to honor those who refused to yield their principles to political pressure and intimidation.
It's a long list: members of his administration, career public servants, volunteer poll workers, state and federal election officials, judges and others who chose to do the right thing in the face of immense pressure from a president who never shied away from savaging his critics or any who failed to offer perfect loyalty. Together, these Americans stood up to Trump and were loyal instead to the law and to the Constitution. By doing so, they brought to light some of his more outrageous misconduct and thwarted his worst impulses.
The honor roll can begin with former Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who
blew the whistle on Trump's threat to withhold already approved military aid to Ukraine in exchange for the "favor" of its president announcing an investigation into political opponent Joe Biden. Vindman never backed down from the truth in the face of withering partisan criticism and congressional questioning during impeachment hearings.
Vindman was fired as the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council and was eventually forced to retire from the Army he had faithfully served for 21 years. Not even his twin brother, Lt. Col. Eugene Vindman, who was not connected to the controversy, escaped vindictive punishment. He was fired from his job as an NSC lawyer at the White House.
They lost their jobs, but not their honor. We thank both brothers, sons of political refugees who had fled the Soviet Union, for their loyal service to their adopted country.
Trump's extortion scheme also brought public attention to Marie Yovanovitch, who had tirelessly battled political corruption as the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine before being unceremoniously removed when the White House saw her as a threat to its political plotting.
Yovanovitch and Fiona Hill, the National Security Council's top Russia expert, both provided powerful testimony at the congressional impeachment hearings in the face of death threats and at the risk of their professional careers.
The Republican-controlled Senate ultimately voted to acquit Trump of the impeachment charges, but the actions of Vindman, Yovanovitch, Hill and others drew a clear line between right and wrong and no doubt curtailed even greater offenses.
Many would wish to write these patriots off as career bureaucrats, but our nation should honor their dedication to the rules and norms that have preserved our democracy as a beacon for the rest of the world.
Their courage stands in contrast to the vast majority of Trump's fellow Republican officeholders. Those few who initially spoke out against his excesses soon left public life or learned to keep their mouths shut. Sens. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Bob Corker of Tennessee are two clear examples. But some chose to stay in public life — and were not afraid to stand up to the president. The late Sen. John McCain was one such leader, and Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah and Bob Sasse of Nebraska are two others. "This is rotten to the core," Sasse said as word of Trump's self-dealing pardons spread Christmas week.
Others who went along for far too long with Trump's worst instincts eventually found their voice. And while "hero" seems hardly appropriate, given how tardy their voices have been, they have done the nation a service by speaking out. Chris Christie and even Mitch McConnell have at long last discovered even they have limits that Trump's wild narcissism has exceeded.
Nowhere have those limits been tested more severely than in the crucible of the 2020 presidential election. Some heroes have responded with courage to stand against partisan criticism and harsh disapproval to do what the law and justice require.
Gabriel Sterling, a voting system official in Georgia, not only confirmed the validity of Biden's victory in that state but called out the president and other Republican leaders for failing to condemn threats of violence against election workers who were doing their jobs under the most stressful of circumstances.
Sterling was reacting part to reports that Joe diGenova, a lawyer for the Trump campaign, had said that Christopher Krebs, a federal cybersecurity official, "should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot" because he had vouched for the integrity of the election.
Sterling and his boss, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, both Republicans, were facing death threats of themselves and their families for refusing Trump's demands to overturn the election results.
"This is elections," Sterling said at an emotional press conference. "This is the backbone of democracy, and all of you who have not said a damn word are complicit in this. It's too much."
These quiet acts of courage stand in vibrant contrast to the failure of the president and so many of his supporters to speak out against hateful rhetoric as they continue to pressure officials to violate their oaths and their consciences to subvert the will of the people.
We honor Aaron Van Langevelde, a 40-year old Republican appointee to Michigan's board of state election canvassers, who resisted incredible pressure from the president and his party to deny Biden's 150,000-vote victory in that pivotal state.
"We must not attempt to exercise power we simply don't have," Van Langevelde said before casting the deciding vote to accept the election results. "As John Adams once said, we are a government of laws, not men. This board needs to adhere to that principle here today. This board must do its part to uphold the rule of law and comply with our legal duty to certify this election."
Attacked on social media and requiring police protection at his home, Van Langevelde lived up to the principles on which the nation was founded.
Our democracy survived one of the gravest threats in recent memory because individuals showed the courage to do the right thing. It's a lesson we shouldn't forget.

Movie Review: Megamind
Published: November 10, 2010Posted in: 2010 Movie Reviews, Family-FriendlyTags: Brad Pitt, David Cross, Family-Friendly, Megamind, Parent Review, Tina Fey, Will Ferrell
PG for action and some language.
Genre: Comedy, children's, family, action
The super-villain Megamind finally conquers his nemesis, the hero Metro Man. But, he then finds his life pointless without a hero to fight! As Megamind revels in the joy of victory and domination over Metro City he suddenly finds himself bored and depressed. Actually, he realizes life is pointless and meaningless without having a superhero to fight.
What to do, what to do?
Megamind concludes the only path to happiness is to create a new superhero he can fight. But, all does not go as planned.
Proving Once Again That Will Ferrell
Is Only Funny As A Cartoon
If you're a regular reader of Frame by Frame it is no secret that we do not like Will Ferrell. He's rude and crude and pretty much a talentless hack when it comes to acting. As a matter of fact, a recent Forbes article names Ferrell as the most overpaid star in Hollywood! He is not a box office draw and is pretty much trying to live life off his so-called Saturday Night Live fame. Which, by the way, was not much in the way of fame at all.
However, we often joke about the fact the only way to enjoy Will Ferrell is when he's a cartoon on the big screen. One of the few movies we actually gave a perfect score to was Curious George when he played the animated Man in the Big Yellow Hat character.
Megamind is yet another example of the fact that when Ferrell is a cartoon simply playing a part, he does well.
When Ferrell is not involved in the writing or directing of a movie, he does well. This is when we do see him shine as an actor and that's what makes Megamind a fun movie to see with the family! When given a script and told to stay in the lines, Ferrell can pull off some great humor. He stays clean, his talent shimmers through and you don't find yourself groaning all the time. We also believe Ben Stiller's involvement in this movie as Executive Director helps make it work too. While Stiller can cross the line from time to time, I believe he usually crosses those lines when he's NOT involved in writing or directing.
A Super Hero Superman Spoof
Right out of the gate Megamind sets itself up as a Superman spoof. While the comparisons are slight in the beginning, as the movie continues, it becomes obvious the intention of the writers was to spoof the iconic Superman franchise. This is by no means a bad thing. As a matter of fact, part of the genius of this movie revolves around the fact that the Superman spoof helps make Megamind not only enjoyable for parents, but also for kids. While the kids will totally miss the incredible impersonation of Marlon Brando, parents will love it! Make sure you watch closely for a Clark Kent spoof too. All in all, this is the very thing that makes Megamind worth the price of admission.
When it comes to content, it's also obvious Megamind is NOT a Disney movie. All too often Disney ends up too far into the dark side as they always seem fascinated with trying to scare kids. While Megamind is a villain of sorts and yes he does dress in black, for the most part, he's a tame villain simply trying to correct what he sees as a terrible injustice. Along the way he also discovers he doesn't have to be bad just for the sake of being bad. We actually see a transformation take place and discover remorse and an attempt to fix what has gone terribly wrong.
When it comes to voice talent, with the exception of Brad Pitt as Metro Man, everyone does a wonderful job. As already mentioned above Will Ferrell really shines in this movie. His various impersonations are wonderful and it's really too bad he doesn't stick with this genre. David Cross who plays Minion was not only the perfect choice for the role, but also the perfect voice! Last, but certainly not least, Tina Fey puts in yet another wonderful performance as Roxanne Ritchi the love struck news reporter.
Overall, we really enjoyed this animated spoof on Superman called Megamind.
We applaud those involved in so many ways. The humor was witty and funny and most importantly they didn't stoop to potty humor. With a PG rating, you can rest assured this is a fun family-friendly movie that both parents and kids alike will enjoy. Of course as quickly as we call Megamind family-friendly, remember, that's for the rating. This is not a G rated movie so it's not for the extremely young.

This statistic illustrates the farmers 'opinion on information tools supporting their business in Italy in 2015. According to data, 80,8 percent of the respondents reported that, before buying online, they collect information about the product on the Internet.
This question was phrased by the source as follows: "Le chiedo di esprimere il grado di accordo/disaccordo nelle seguenti affermazioni che riguardano gli strumenti informativi che utilizza per il supporto dell'organizzazione/strategia aziendale (siti internet, blog, forum, ecc.)".


Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett encounters bad behavior on his own turf--only to have the FBI and the DOJ ask him to stand down--in the thrilling new novel from #1 New York Times-bestselling author C.J. Box.

The good news is that Joe Pickett has his job back, after his last adventure in The Disappeared. The bad news is that he's come to learn that a drone is killing wildlife--and the drone belongs to a mysterious and wealthy man whose son is dating Joe's own daughter, Lucy.

When Joe tries to lay down the rules for the drone operator, he's asked by the FBI and the DOJ to stand down, which only makes him more suspicious. Meanwhile, bodies are piling up in and around Joe's district in shocking numbers. He begins to fear that a pack of four vicious killers working on behalf of the Sinaloa cartel known as the Wolf Pack has arrived. Their target seems to be the mystery man and everyone--including Joe, Nate, and others--who is associated with him.

Teaming up with a female game warden (based on a real person, one of the few female game wardens at work in Wyoming today) to confront these assassins, Joe finds himself in the most violent and dangerous predicament he's ever faced.
Sue Grafton delivers an intensely gripping mystery based on an actual unsolved murder in this #1 New York Times bestseller featuring private investigator Kinsey Millhone.

She was a "Jane Doe," an unidentified white female whose decomposed body was discovered near a quarry off California's Highway 1. The case fell to the Santa Teresa County Sheriff's Department, but the detectives had little to go on. The woman was young, her hands were bound with a length of wire, there were multiple stab wounds, and her throat had been slashed. After months of investigation, the murder remained unsolved...

That was eighteen years ago. Now the two men who found the body are nearing the end of their careers in law enforcement—and they want one last shot at the case. Old and ill, they need someone to help with their legwork and they turn to Kinsey Millhone.

Kinsey is intrigued by the cold case and agrees to take the job. But revisiting the past can be a dangerous business, and what begins with the pursuit of Jane Doe's real identity ends in a high-risk hunt for her killer.

Funky Friday is my continuing effort to start the weekend on "the good foot" for myself and anyone else bored enough to read this blog. Even though 75% of the vids from the last go-round being pulled less than one week after making the post, I'm going to take another stab at this.
Souls of Mischief – '93 til infinity: A lot of people seem to dismiss the West Coast as nothing but brain-dead gangsta rap, but real music fans know better than that. You'd have to ignore people like the Coup, Erule, the Pharcyde, Del and the cats in this video. This brings back memories of hanging outside with my friends like Steve Skinner (R.I.P.), Terry Tyler and anybody else that was around when Steve brought that giant tape deck of his. This joint was always good Chill Tape material.
Gangstarr- Mass Appeal: Quite possibly one of my favorite Hip-Hop songs of all time from what's definitely one of my favorite groups. It's hard to choose a favorite from GangStarr, but this one seems to be in most fans' Top Ten lists. For one, listen to that beat. At a time when lazy producers were looping things that people had heard boozillion times or ripping off classic Marley Marl beats, DJ Premiere pulled less than eight non-repeating seconds from an obscure jazz song's keyboard solo and made a classic. When I say non-repeating, I mean that part only happens once in the entire song WAS NOT meant to be looped. Stuff like that is why so many Hip-Hop heads love Primo. Meanwhile, Guru threw down some lyrics about what had started getting on the true fans' nerves. Mainstream Hip-Hop's zombification had already begun where weak, idiotic lyrical content and those lazy beats I mentioned were taking over the radio. To add insult to injury, a lot of radio stations that wouldn't play "Mass Appeal" would play it's instrumental as they told you what pop song was coming up next. Just one of the many reasons that I still hate "Urban Radio" stations.
Method Man – Bring The Pain: I remember already still having my mind blown by Wu Tang's first album when I first saw this video and how I damn near broke my neck nodding to the beat. That beat is just as "insane/crazy" as the lyrics. Listen to that "Mmm-mmmmmmmmmmm" vocal and the instruments that just lounge in the back. That's the RZA being a mad scientist again. As usual, Method's lyrics and delivery are perfect, but a reply on the YouTube.com page reminded me of something. After this video came hit, A lot of other rappers started moving just like that. Such is the power of Tical.
Main Source – Fakin' the funk: So let's close this Funkky Friday out with another song with "Funky" in the title. Another favorite group of mine with another prophetic song about commercialized rappers that still rings true. A lot of Main Source fans bought the "White Men Can't Jump" soundtrack just for this hint at Main Source 2nd album. Unfortunately, the group broke up a while after this. Large Professor still went on to do good solo work and produce cuts for other artists including Nas, who debuted as a guest star on Main Source's "Live at the BBQ" posse cut.
That's it for today. Stay funky, party people!

Marloas is nineteen years of age and she stems from Rotterdam in Holland. She is in gap year from school, and it has taken the time traveling in Asia. She has been on the street for four months and as the trip winds to a close she's come into medical Oasis Resort at Koh Samui to master Thai massage.
No, she does not desire to become a massage therapist. Her goal is to train as a medical professional, also this particular preparation in massage might well help her within her aspiration to study western medication.
Nan, by how started her studies at the esteemed Wat Pho in Bangkok that serves as the highest massage instruction facility in Thailand.
Marloas explains she was always afraid that her hands could become tired whilst massagingbut she was surprised to get that instead she felt energised.
The path that Marloas attended isn't meant to turn out pro therapists. It is certificated but is designed for Self Development and basic attention. For those eager to know Thai massage to get professional use, Health Oasis Resort offers a more intensive fifty hour period of instruction, also this comes with a certification.
Massage is just one of the subjects that people could learn at the Bang Po shore side resort. The Thai cooking is very interesting because it is geared very much to the visitor to the Kingdom. Lots of have enjoyed eating Thai food restaurants worldwide and about arriving at Thailand have taken the experience to some other measurement. Naturally this requires just a small note because the instructors need to goto the marketplace and buy the freshest ingredients potential the'trainee chef' can prepare that favourite meal. As soon as you've cooked it, then all you could then have is your joy of sitting down and eating your invention and hopefully you have encouraged some friends or family members to share this special experience with you.

Video Preview: Jenn Vix – 'Ride'
16 March 2019 We Are Cult Music, News 0
❉ Take a 'Ride' with Jenn Vix as she gets ready to launch her new EP '6'.
Rhode Island-based alternative music singer-songwriter Jenn Vix should already be a familiar name to regular We Are Cult readers, from our coverage of her 2017 EP Unlocked and last year's Cult Q & A. Now, as she gets ready to launch her sixth release, new EP 6, this multi-faceted artist is ready to take over the world… but not before she tackles sexism in music.
"You're pretty good for a girl," sighs Vix about one of the many comments that plagues her as a female artist. "I have been asked questions such as 'Who writes your music for you?' and 'Oh, so you're a singer, right?'"
"I have also heard 'I didn't know that women could be recording engineers.' It's a guy thing," she says unapologetically. Her plight as a woman in rock is nothing new, especially considering that not only is she a successful electronic-rock recording artist but has also been a songwriter, a producer and a recording engineer. With her new EP 6 however, Vix is wearing all hats at once and showing that, yes, she can do it.. and yes, she is a girl.
Out May 3, 2019 via Umbrella Music Co., 6 plunges Vix's already fascinating electronic music which Carpe Noctem once described as "songs that surf the brainwaves, stimulating them in different ways… enjoyable and complex at one time" and posits it into an even more accessible and unapologetically pop paradigm.
Her first single "Ride" kicks off the EP with a delicious electropop beat and colors it with a New Wave brush stroke. "'Ride' is inspired by the feeling you get when you're on a first date with someone, and you're riding around in the car with them," she explains – an answer which is typically standard enough… but then she takes a left turn into uncharted territory, continuing, "but you're actually a space alien and you're going to take your date for a real ride, aboard your spaceship." The accompanying video follows this narrative, with Vix going full-on extraterrestrial in the makeup department.
The EP traipses through all the different shades of electropop from the minimal and Gary Numan-ian The Mask of Charon with its space age synth washes, to the midnight dance floor beats of Rover which injects the aural drama of mid-era Depeche Mode.
The tribal echoes of Show Me The Sun reflects the early 80s vibe of Malcolm McLaren, which is quite appropriate as it features former Adam and the Ants/Bow Wow Wow drummer Dave Barbarossa. This song in particular tackles a painful and terrifying event in Vix's life. She explains, "Show Me The Sun is a song about how I came back to music after almost dying. I almost died from a misdiagnosed illness; a specialist refused to send me for tests. When I was in hospital, I thought it was my last day on earth. I was mentally preparing to die as they hooked me up to the monitors. It was the most frightening day of my life, thus far." Once the error was properly diagnosed and she was given the correct treatment, it was a long and arduous recovery both physically and mentally.
An important force since the late '80s (her first band Disco Donut featured Adam Horovitz of The Beastie Boys on bass), Vix has released a handful of albums,singles and collaborations with a virtual who's who of alternative music including Reeves Gabrels (Tin Machine with David Bowie, The Cure), John Ashton (Psychedelic Furs), Marco Pirroni (Adam & the Ants, The Models, Rema Rema), and the late Andy Anderson (The Cure, Iggy Pop, Edwyn Collins) who died three weeks ago suddenly after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. "I've known him since 2015, when he recorded on one of my tracks. He really was a sweetheart," she recollects sadly about her close friend.
6 is Jenn Vix's sixth "non single" release. It is self-produced and features Jenn Vix (music, lyrics, guitar, synths, vocals, electronic drums, recording), Paul LF (bass guitar) and David Barbarossa (drums).

Set up to tackle possible barriers to education, it won the Social Responsibility Award at the Endsleigh Students Union Awards held in Manchester this month.
Painting equipment for the project was provided by Manchester University's estates department while funding came from the universities and student unions
Working with graffiti artists and university students, youngsters created their own designs to paint onto the Jackson Crescent building - including a view of Manchester's skyline and a portrait of a bird.
Proctor's, owned by Manchester city council, was run as a youth centre for more than 60 years and closed down in 2011 due to council funding cuts.

Since then it has been used as a pupil referral unit during the daytime for 11 to 14-year-olds who have been excluded from school.
However, it is soon set to become a base for youth charity Manchester Young Lives which is leaving its adventure playground site nearby due to funding problems, meaning the centre is open in the evenings once more.
Student Amar Shakil, who helped run the outreach project, said: "The building looked run-down so as part of the Access All Areas initiative, which supports projects which tackle barriers to education, we set up the Graffiti Art Project.
"The children got the chance to work with amazing local graffiti artists and current students to design and decorate the outside of the youth centre.
"This project has resulted in a lot of local interest with members of the public often stopping to take photos and a sense of pride in their centre.
"More importantly it has really boosted the confidence and skills of the young participants who were inspired to be creative and have confidence in their own ideas."
