Carroll's Height Doesn't Worry Coaches
Over time, the Green Bay Packers hope that rookie cornerback Ahmad Carroll will challenge the ceiling of his potential.
How close he comes to challenging the ceiling of the Don Huston Center is irrelevant.
That's why GM/Head Coach Mike Sherman isn't concerned about the fact that at 5-foot-10 Carroll -- the 25th overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft -- is the shortest cornerback on the Packers' roster.
"One of the best defenses in football has been the Miami Dolphins," Sherman noted, "and they play two corners about the same size as him."
In fact, they do. Sam Madison and Patrick Surtain, who have been to six Pro Bowls between them in their NFL careers, are both 5-foot-11.
Furthermore, half of 2003's six Pro Bowl corners were 5-foot-11 or shorter: Surtain, New England's Ty Law (5-11) and Detroit's Dre Bly (5-9).
Beyond that, four of 2003's top five pass defenses had at least one sub-6-foot starting corner: Terrence Newman (5-11) of Dallas, Antoine Winfield (5-9) of Buffalo, Ronde Barber (5-10) of Tampa Bay and Nick Harper (5-10) and Walt Harris (5-11) of Indianapolis. The only exception to the rule was the Baltimore Ravens, who ranked fourth in pass defense last season starting corners Gary Baxter (6-2) and Chris McAlister (6-1).
"It's not so much size as how a guy plays the ball down the field," Sherman said. "Can he find the ball? If you're a small guy and you can't find the ball, you've got a problem."
One of the things that impressed Packers coaches and scouts about Carroll heading into the draft was his ability to find the ball once it is in the air. They also liked his history playing bump-and-run coverage at the University of Arkansas and think that his 41-inch vertical leap can help negate any potential size disadvantage.
But Carroll's best attribute is undoubtedly his speed -- a skill that can't be taught and that could become even more important in 2004 as the NFL looks to crack down on contact between corners and wide receivers beyond the 5-yard bump zone.
"You'd better have recovery ability," defensive backs coach Kurt Schottenheimer said in light of the rule enforcement. "You're not going to be able to stay on (a receiver) as long at the line, so that's very important."
Heading into the draft, Carroll was timed in the 40-yard dash at between 4.26 and 4.34 seconds. At Arkansas, he was an All-American sprinter in both the 100 and 200 meters.
"The game is speed," defensive coordinator Bob Slowik said. "If (contact beyond the zone) is going to be an emphasis on the officials' standpoint, we are going to have to be able to have guys that can move their feet, win with their feet."
Packers Cornerbacks By Height:
6-3: Michael Hawthorne*
6-1: Al Harris, Joey Thomas, Chris Watson
6-0: Derek Combs, Jason Horton, Bhawoh Jue*, Mike McKenzie, Erwin Swiney
5-11: James Whitley*
5-10: Ahmad Carroll

Q: Is there a way to get create a php varialble from ajax data returned from another php script I have a php script that creates a webpage with my select box options
Eg index.php  has a html select box:
<select id="sel_option">
   <option value="0">- Select Option -</option> ....

this is posted on sel_option change using ajax to a php processing script as below:
<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function(){

            $("#sel_option").change(function(){
                var optionid = $(this).val();

                $.ajax({
                    url: 'procscript.php',
                    type: 'post',
                    data: {option:optionid},
                    dataType: 'json',
                    success:function(response){ ...

I would like to pull some of the returned array into Php variables again in order to change  some of the tabulator group or format options
eg  $("#table1").tabulator({
        height:500 ,
        VirtualDomHoz:true,
       <? echo  "groupBy:[\"group_option_from_response array\"]," ?>

So Php script1 sends option data by ajax -> php script2 which gathers data from a mysql db and returns to script1
I have tried creating session variables in php script 2 and it works on first selection , but after that it seems to cache the initial sessions in the browser , the response sessions from the second php script do not seem to copy over to the first script in subsequent calls. I think it might because the first page never reloads , all selections are done within the loaded first page using js??
If what I am trying to do is if not possible by php  can I rewrite the php section in tabulator below using some js code?
$("#table1").tabulator({
        height:500 ,
        VirtualDomHoz:true,
       <? echo  "groupBy:[\"group_option_from_response array\"]," ?>
        placeholder:"No Data Set",
        columns:[
        {title:"ID", field:"ID",width:30},
         {title:"F_name", field:"f_name", sorter:"string"},
<? echo "{title:\"different var\", field:\"field2\", sorter:"string"},"; ?>

Thanks for looking !
Steve

A: Receive your data through ajax, then create the tabulator object. If there is data coming through ajax for that object, you can add it in, then instantiate it.
success:function(response){ ...
  response = JSON.parse(response);
  createTabulator(response,"table1")

});

function createTabulator(data, idToUse) {
  var tabobject = {
    height:500 ,
    VirtualDomHoz:true,
    placeholder:"No Data Set"
  }

  if (data.groupBy) {
     tabobject.groupBy = [data.groupBy]
  }

  var cols = [
   {title:"ID", field:"ID",width:30},
   {title:"F_name", field:"f_name", sorter:"string"}
  ]

 // if there is columns data coming in, bring it as an array...
  data.columns.forEach(item => {
  cols.push({title: item.title, field: item.field, sorter:"string"})
  })

  tabobject.columns = cols;

  $("#"+idToUse).tabulator(tabobject);
}

A: There are so many ways to achieve what you want. I think the best way is just to push the variable to the ajax request.
$.ajax({
    ...
    data: {
        option:optionid,
        groupoption: "groupoptionvalue"
    }
    ...
});

The first time you just have to send it empty. PHP will always be able to handle the value since you will always capture it at the very beginning.
If your variable is an object or an array, just use JSON.parse/JSON.stringify in javascript and json_encode/json_decode in PHP for them to communicate.

Netflix has made a move for one of the greatest storytellers in television history by signing a multi-year production deal with Shonda Rhimes who was currently at ABC Studios.
Shonda is known for her successful drama series like "Scandal" and "How to Get Away with Murder" that yielded ABC Studios a lot of views in the past years.
She also credited for her a medical drama, "Greys Anatomy" which was a big seller for ABC Studios and is now heading to its 14th season this fall. A Greys Anatomy spin off is also in the works.
Shonda will begin producing new series for Netflix while she continues to stay involved in her current broadcast series. Executive producer Betsy Beers will also come to Netflix with Rhimes, one of the most successful TV producers of the past decade.
"Shonda Rhimes is one of the greatest storytellers in the history of television," said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer, Netflix, in a statement.
Rhimes has been a big asset for ABC these past years and now she has joined Netflix to bring in more awesome ideas to the table. Netflix is familiar with the Shondaland milieu. The streaming service has long carried older episodes of "Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal" and "HTGAWM" in the U.S., and in select markets around the world.
Netflix of late has been busy signing top filmmakers and producers like Joel and Ethan Coen. They also made an acquisition of Millarworld, which yields intellectual property for comics that brought movies like "Kickass" and "Kingsman" to life.
It's reported that Rhimes was earning an estimated $10 million a year under her previous ABC Studios contract which is set to expire in 2018. Netflix must be cashing in a lot of money to bring Rhimes to their team and at same time cover overhead costs for Shondaland to seal the deal.

In Your Face Taliban, The Coalition Is Coming To Take Marjah And There's Not A Damn Thing You Can Do About It
Posted on February 3, 2010 by Killian Bundy
U.S. Announces Helmand Offensive
In a rare break from traditional military secrecy, the U.S. and its allies are announcing the precise target of their first big offensive of the Afghanistan surge in an apparent bid to intimidate the Taliban.
Coalition officers have been hinting aloud for months that they plan to send an overwhelming Afghan, British and U.S. force to clear insurgents from the town of Marjah and surrounding areas in Helmand province, and this week the allies took the unusual step of issuing a press release saying the attack was "due to commence."
Senior Afghan officials went so far as to hold a news conference Tuesday to discuss the offensive, although the allies have been careful not to publicize the specific date or details of the attack.
"If we went in there one night and all the insurgents were gone and we didn't have to fire a shot, that would be a success," a coalition spokesman, Col. Wayne Shanks, said before the announcement. "I don't think there has been a mistake in letting people know we're planning on coming in."
The risks could be substantial, however. By surrendering the element of surprise, the coalition has given its enemy time to dig entrenched fighting positions and tunnel networks. Perhaps worse for the attacking infantrymen, the insurgents have had time to booby-trap buildings and bury bombs along paths, roads and irrigated fields. Such hidden devices inflict the majority of U.S. and allied casualties.
Over the past few months, the new allied commander in southern Afghanistan, British Maj. Gen. Nick Carter, has revamped NATO's coalition strategy in a region that is home to the Pashtun tribes and opium poppy fields that form the ethnic and financial foundations of the Taliban insurgency.
With the first of 30,000 new U.S. troops already on the ground in Afghanistan, Gen. Carter's plan is to focus on two population centers—Kandahar city, in Kandahar province, and central Helmand province to the west. Combined, they are home to about two million of the estimated three million residents of southern Afghanistan.
Still, the military has taken an unusual step by broadcasting its imminent intention to assault a particular town, Marjah, and its environs. During World War II, civilians and servicemen were frequently reminded that "Loose lips sink ships" and "Enemy ears are listening." For months leading up to the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, the Allies went to great lengths to disguise their target.
Similarly, the coalition in Afghanistan normally forbids—at the threat of expulsion—embedded reporters from writing about events before they take place. In this case, though, officials even released the name of the offensive, Operation Moshtarak, and said it would be a joint Afghan-coalition attack. Moshtarak means "together" in Dari, although the bulk of the population in southern Afghanistan speaks Pashto.

Enterprise Survey [en/oth]
Firm-level surveys have been conducted since 1998 by different units within the World Bank. The Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS) is a joint initiative of the World Bank Group ("WB") and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("EBRD"). The initial goal of the study is to better understand conditions for doing business in targeted countries and how they compare to other countries. The ultimate goal of the research is to advise governments on ways to change policies and practices that impose a burden on private firms and to develop new projects and programs that strengthen support for enterprise growth.
Tajikistan Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS) 2003 is the continuation of Tajikistan BEEPS 2002. The 2003 survey focused only on the manufacturing sector, services industry was excluded. 107 companies were surveyed. The focus of the 2003 BEEPS on selected manufacturing sub-sectors aimed to derive sector-specific productivity measures that could be correlated to the climate investment.
The survey topics included company's characteristics, information about sales and suppliers, competition, infrastructure services, judiciary and law enforcement, security, government policies and regulations, bribery, sources of financing, overall business environment, performance and investment activities, and workforce composition.

Tajikistan Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS) 2003 is the continuation of Tajikistan BEEPS 2002. The survey for 2003 focused only on manufacturing sector, services industry was excluded.
The description of BEEPS 2002 sampling technique is taken from "The Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey - 2002. A brief report on observations, experiences and methodology from the survey" prepared by MEMRB Custom Research Worldwide (now part of Synovate), a research company that implemented BEEPS 2002 instrument.
The general targeted distributional criteria of the sample in BEEPS II countries were to be as follows:
1) Coverage of countries: The BEEPS II instrument was to be administered to approximately 6,500 enterprises in 28 transition economies: 16 from CEE (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, FR Yugoslavia, FYROM, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Turkey) and 12 from the CIS (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan).
2) In each country, the sector composition of the total sample in terms of manufacturing versus services (including commerce) was to be determined by the relative contribution of GDP, subject to a 15% minimum for each category. Firms that operated in sectors subject to government price regulations and prudential supervision, such as banking, electric power, rail transport, and water and wastewater were excluded.
Eligible enterprise activities were as follows (ISIC sections):
- Mining and quarrying (Section C: 10-14), Construction (Section F: 45), Manufacturing (Section D: 15-37)
- Transportation, storage and communications (Section I: 60-64), Wholesale, retail, repairs (Section G: 50-52), Real estate, business services (Section K: 70-74), Hotels and restaurants (Section H: 55), Other community, social and personal activities (Section O: selected groups).
3) Size: At least 10% of the sample was to be in the small and 10% in the large size categories. A small firm was defined as an establishment with 2-49 employees, medium - with 50-249 workers, and large - with 250 - 9,999 employees. Companies with only one employee or more than 10,000 employees were excluded.
4) Ownership: At least 10% of the firms were to have foreign control (more than 50% shareholding) and 10% of companies - state control.
5) Exporters: At least 10% of the firms were to be exporters. A firm should be regarded as an exporter if it exported 20% or more of its total sales.
6) Location: At least 10% of firms were to be in the category "small city/countryside" (population under 50,000).
7) Year of establishment: Enterprises which were established later than 2000 should be excluded.
The sample structure for BEEPS II was designed to be as representative (self-weighted) as possible to the population of firms within the industry and service sectors subject to the various minimum quotas for the total sample. This approach ensured that there was sufficient weight in the tails of the distribution of firms by the various relevant controlled parameters (sector, size, location and ownership).
As pertinent data on the actual population or data which would have allowed the estimation of the population of foreign-owned and exporting enterprises were not available, it was not feasible to build these two parameters into the design of the sample guidelines from the onset. The primary parameters used for the design of the sample were:
- Total population of enterprises;
- Ownership: private and state;
- Size of enterprise: Small, medium and large;
- Geographic location: Capital, over 1 million, 1 million-250,000, 250-50,000 and under 50,000;
- Sub-sectors (e.g. mining, construction, wholesale, etc).
For certain parameters where statistical information was not available, enterprise populations and distributions were estimated from other accessible demographic (e.g. human population concentrations in rural and urban areas) and socio-economic (e.g. employment levels) data.

It Only Needs a Little Love

In southwest Montreal, Transport Quebec is in the midst of a $3.7-billion project to convert the old Turcot rail yards into a major transportation interchange. The area also nestles up against a protected — albeit neglected — green space called "falaise St-Jacques." When construction crews working on the transport project cut down more than 150 trees in the falaise last year, Lisa Mintz decided it was time to do something.
To start, what is falaise St-Jacques?
"Falaise" is the French word for "escarpment," and falaise St-Jacques is a steep area that runs along the length of the Turcot project. The site isn't very big, about 20 hectares in a narrow band about four kilometres long. It was used as a garbage dump up until the 1970s, then it almost became a park, twice, but that never happened. It was just fenced off and left to grow over.
Today, it's one of 10 "eco-territories" on the island of Montreal, which acknowledges its important biodiversity. It's like a little forest in the middle of all this industry and it's home to about 65 species of birds. It has deer and a population of Dekay's brown snakes. There's still a bit of garbage dumping, but mostly it's left alone. It's cool, just really beautiful.
How did you become interested in protecting the falaise?
I was down there birdwatching in April of 2015 and I saw all these survey markers on trees that marked off a certain area. I went to a public meeting about the Turcot project and asked about the markers. I was told they were a protection measure for the brown snakes, that if a snake was found in the construction zone, it was to be taken out and put in the area behind the markers. Then, later, the area was bulldozed. Two hectares just completely gone. I got angry and I started a group called "Sauvons la falaise."
What's your goal with Sauvons la falaise?
One of the main goals is to make the Quebec Ministry of Transportation and the city know that we are there and watching so they can't take other bits and pieces out of the falaise. It's right on the edge of the construction, so it's tempting to say, "If I take a few trees out, no one will notice. We'll have more space to move our trucks around." If we're there as watchdogs, there's less temptation to do that. We are also lobbying to clean up the falaise and encouraging the surrounding boroughs to help protect the area.
How are you going about that?
We go to the meetings of the local boroughs — several have boundaries along the falaise — and Montreal city council meetings. The city councillors and borough mayors have been very helpful. I took the mayor of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce/Côte-des- Neiges — Russell Copeman — on a walk in the falaise recently. He loved it. Since then, borough inspectors have gone to the businesses that border the falaise and told them they can't dump there anymore, and that they have to fix their fences. That's a first step. There will be another walk with borough mayors and city centre leaders. We'll see what happens. But the fact it's getting attention is important. Two boroughs have passed a motion supporting the cleanup of the falaise, a study of its ecological value, (mise en valeur), and supporting connectivity through reinstatement of a north-south bike and pedestrian bridge originally in the Turcot plans. The boroughs don't have the authority to do all this themselves, but their motion is a start.
Looking ahead, what do you hope to see as the result of your work?
Actually, we have a big, grand goal, which is to create a greenbelt linking surrounding parks and other green spaces via falaise St-Jacques. There are various groups associated with these parks, and we all agree that this needs to be done. It's just a matter of getting everybody together and seeing what happens. The falaise is in the middle of everything, acting as a natural centre point.

This is the second of a series of posts from Tom Kenrick's blog about unique books that many bassists would not have considered for study. I've flipped through this one before. Its Simandl's "New Method For The Double Bass". The method was published about a century ago, but the one I looked at was printed in the 1980's. I remember people on Talkbass not liking it as much for electric bass, but I think its looked at as the double bassist's equivalent of the Suzuki method for violin.

Interview: Tanisha C. Ford on Black Women, Style, and Politics in the 1960s and '70s
Posted by Gina on 4 November 2015, 11:05 am
Author Tanisha C. Ford talks with Gina Mahalek about her new book, Liberated Threads: Black Women, Style, and the Global Politics of Soul.
Gina Mahalek: Very briefly, what is Liberated Threads about?
Tanisha C. Ford: Liberated Threads is about how everyday women turned getting dressed into a powerful political act that transformed the cultural and political landscape of the 1960s and '70s around the world. Often, when we study the social movements of the mid-twentieth century, we focus on policy issues, the fight to integrate public spaces, and big events, such as marches and protests. But, in Liberated Threads, I argue that we need to focus on everyday acts such as getting dressed in order to understand how everyday people engaged in movement politics. Most people were not involved in formal political organizing. They were not members of Black Freedom movement organizations. But, they were engaged in the fashion culture of the time. I wanted to explore the various ways that fashion and style connected people to the global movement for black freedom.
GM: What does the title allude to?
TCF: The title is a play off of a colloquial term for hip clothing used within the black community. People in the 1970s would call their fine wear "threads" as a way to signify that they believed they were dressed sharp and that their clothes reflected their impeccable taste and upward mobility. By pairing the words "liberated" and "threads" I am acknowledging that there was a political language around dressing stylishly and that clothing was a key aspect of both personal and community freedom. Black people around the globe were invested in how they dressed because they understood that the clothes they wore communicated a powerful message. And they took great pleasure in dressing stylishly. The word "threads" also refers to the material culture aspect of the book. During the peak of the Black Freedom movement, the fashion industry put a premium on African-inspired prints. I'm interested in exploring how community-level political engagement affected global fashion trends. Lastly, I used Liberated Threads as a language for the African diaspora. I am invested in thinking through how people of African descent created these real and imagined ties based on their deployment of terms like "black" and "soul" that were coded through the clothes they wore.
GM: Your book begins in South Africa and is international in scope. Why is this important?
TCF: Soul was an international culture. It was the product of the intermixing of people of African descent from around the globe. I wanted to foreground its global dimensions by beginning the book in a non-U.S. context. South African singer Miriam Makeba's career was in many ways emblematic of the international cultural ebbs and flows I discuss in the book. By centering on her, I could take the reader on this journey across the Atlantic to diverse, cosmopolitan cities. Places such as Johannesburg, London, and New York City have long, interesting histories of social movements and resistance. In many ways, these cities owe their popularity as global fashion capitals to the black folks who inspired the local fashions, though they are not often recognized for their style innovations. I wanted to explore how local movements and youth cultures influenced haute couture and ready-to-wear designers. But it was also important for me to examine these locales alongside cities such as Atlanta, Los Angeles, Bamako, Mali, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Port of Spain, Trinidad, to give a fuller picture of translocal and transnational fashion dynamics.
GM: How did soul become synonymous with black Americans? And what's wrong with that picture?
TCF: One of my goals with Liberated Threads was to explain why black cultural forms become global phenomena. I wanted to challenge the idea that all styles, music, and political symbols we associate with the soul era originated in the United States and were circulated around the world. While this U.S.- centered story is popular, it is terribly overly simplistic. Yes, black American culture is highly influential, but there was much more cultural exchange than we have previously recognized. I use the imagery of a "soul circuit" to describe how black Americans and continental Africans borrowed from one another. International travel, print media, political broadsides, and technological innovations helped this growing soul culture gain more visibility, which in turn created a language around soul that was reflected in the advertisements, music, and films of the day. Because much of this content was produced in the United States, soul became synonymous with Black Americans, and the African and Caribbean influences became less apparent. Liberated Threads begins in South Africa to make these global cultural crosscurrents more visible.
GM: What is your favorite story from the book?
TCF: There are so many great stories in this book—it's hard to choose a favorite. I will say, there is a particular story that taught me something new. Late in the writing process, I stumbled across an interview with a woman who was a student activist in South Africa. She shared how she and her peers would dress in hot pants and stiletto heels when they participated in protests and marches. Her revelation was interesting because in the United States there has been an overemphasis on how civil rights protesters wore their "Sunday best" to marches. Many young South African women wore hot pants to transgress notions of respectability. They used the stilettos as weapons to protect themselves against police assaults. I'd never come across a story like it before. It was fascinating. I could imagine a cadre of black women adorned in pointy-heeled shoes that doubled as stylish footwear and as lethal weapons. I became intrigued with unpacking the politics of style around their sartorial choices.
GM: Your book is rich in interviews. Tell us about the women you spoke with and how you found them.
TCF: This book was a dream come true in that I had a chance to interview two dozen incredible black women, from activists who were members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Black Panther Party to South African fashion designers and models. I zigzagged around the globe, meeting with these women in various coffee shops, bookstores, and shopping malls in cities such as London and Johannesburg. Liberated Threads would not be nearly as rich if they had not entrusted me with their stories. I tried to honor them by handling their words with care and love because, far too often, black women's narratives are ignored or rendered marginal to civil rights and Black Power histories.
GM: You grew up in a household with a black feminist mother who designed her own clothes. Was she the inspiration for this book?
TCF: My mother has influenced me in profound ways. There were always sewing patterns and printed fabrics, old photo albums, and African-inspired artwork on the walls at our house. Those items were so much a part of my everyday life that I didn't even realize how much they had informed my cultural and political identity. Once I started working on this book, my mother's stories about going to college in "Ku Klux Klan country," her love for Angela Davis, and the popularity of Afros and dashikis came flooding back. My mother, with her African-inspired garments, bell bottoms, and natural hair, was the embodiment of "soul style." In many ways, by telling this history of the global soul generation, I was recovering a piece of family history, putting my mother's life in a broader context. I interviewed her for the book and even used many of her old pictures of garments she designed, such as the zebra print maxidress with a matching head wrap, in the book. We have grown even closer through the research and writing process. And I've learned a lot about what inspires me as a historian.
GM: You mentioned that we are living through a time of social unrest. There have been many comparisons between the civil rights movement and the #BlackLivesMatter movement. What is your take on these debates?
TCF: It is natural that people will make comparisons between the civil rights generation and the #BlackLivesMatter generation. And there's definitely a conversation to be had. The biggest thing I want people to walk away from Liberated Threads with is a more nuanced understanding of what the civil rights era was like. The narrative that gets recycled in the mainstream media each February or each major civil rights anniversary overemphasizes big event history. It makes civil rights leaders demigods who were a united political front with clearly articulated objectives. Based on the images circulated online, we would think that everyone was walking around preaching respectability and wearing suits and dresses. This depiction of the civil rights movement makes it appear as if there is a larger gulf between the two generations. I want to present a more balanced depiction of the 1960s so activists today can have a more accurate history of their activist foremothers and forefathers. By focusing on the everyday practice of getting dressed, I present the folks who lived through this movement as three-dimensional figures. And by shifting the narrative to the everyday, I can move outside of the arena of formal organizing to show that there was a diverse group of people who served as the backbone of the civil rights movement.
GM: Does the legacy of the "soul style" live on?
TCF: Of course! I've always pushed back against a declension model that suggests we were once living in the soul age, and now it's over. I chose to take the book into the present day so I could discuss what soul style looks like today. Singers such as Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Janelle Monae, and Solange are challenging the musical and aesthetic boundaries of soul in ways similar to Nina Simone, Odetta, and Miriam Makeba's interventions in the 1960s. We also see women remixing soul style in cool ways. Celebrities from first lady Michelle Obama to Beyoncé and Rihanna are rocking African prints by top designers. New blogs, digital magazines, and online boutiques—often run by black women—are offering styling tips for everyday women who want to wear soul-inspired fashions. This resurgence in soul style is not entirely shocking. As in the 1960s and '70s, we are living in a time of political upheaval and protest. In perilous times, adornment and other forms of embodied activism become all the more important.
GM: There is a growing interest in black fashion studies. What do you think is the future of this emerging field of study?
TCF: We are starting to see the first real wave of scholarship on black fashion and style. Much of this work deals with identity politics, national struggles for power and liberation, migration, and so forth. I would like to see the next wave of scholarship grapple with geopolitical issues related to import/export tariffs, labor exploitation, and sustainability. These topics are becoming particularly important as countries such as the United States and China are clamoring to invest in the expanding African fashion market. The presence of transnational fashion corporations, which have moved their operations to various countries on the continent, is changing the very infrastructure of African cities. We do not know what the long-term effects will be, but economists are already predicting that Africa will become the next Asia in terms of the production of goods. I am interested to see how future scholarship on black fashion will analyze these crucial economic issues. I hope Liberated Threads will be a useful model.

A deadline can make a HUGE difference to the type of results you're going to achieve and that was the case for Sabine when i worked with her.
She was going back to her native France and literally had six weeks before she left and so i did the only thing you can do, put together the most realistic fat loss plan for the time she had remaining.
So she completed 3x weight training sessions with me plus two cardio sessions alongside to achieve these results plus four meals per day.
Just adherence and a strong work ethic in the gym for the results that she wanted.
Yup, is the answer and so don't forget no matter where you're starting from, the results that you want are within your grasp if you have a proper plan in place and are willing to work hard in a sustainable way.


Whether you seek a divorce, legal separation or annulment of your marriage, an experienced family law attorney can help you navigate the legal system and ensure your rights are fully protected. Florida does not allow a formal "legal separation," but there are legal agreements that can achieve a similar result for those who prefer this status. A civil annulment, which declares a marriage never existed in the eyes of the law, is difficult to obtain, but can be granted on very specific grounds. In all cases, property division, support, and issues pertaining to children are key.
Some divorce cases involve substantial assets and the need to divide marital property that may include a family-owned business, multiple investment accounts, art collections, and multi-million dollar homes. There may be hidden assets, or immense credit card or IRS tax debt. Collaborating with forensic accountants and other professionals, the experienced attorneys at Sutton Law conduct in-depth investigations and work to capably resolve complicated cases.
When a marriage is ending, property division is one of the primary issues to be decided by the spouses -- or the judge. Florida law uses an equitable distribution process to determine division of assets and debts, but 'equitable' does not necessarily mean equal. Characterizing property as "separate," "marital" or "co-mingled" is the key to determining the division of real estate, investment accounts, jewelry, automobiles and other assets. Sutton Law has the expertise to help you navigate this complicated issue and protect your best interests.
Florida family courts seek to encourage a child's frequent and continuing contact with both parents. The terms "custody" and "visitation" have been replaced with "parental responsibility" and "time sharing" arrangements. Child support awards are determined by the income and earning capacity of both parents, child care costs, the amount of time the child spends with each parent, and other factors. We can help you work out a fair plan for the support and care of your children. We can also assist you with child support enforcement or help with modification requests.
Depending upon several factors, alimony may be awarded to either the husband or wife in a divorce or legal separation. In Florida, alimony is calculated considering the length of the marriage, the age and health of both spouses, and each spouse's financial status at the end of the marriage. The standard of living during the marriage is a factor, along with a spouse's time spent in child rearing or supporting the other's career development. The family law experts at Sutton Law can assist you in determining the likelihood of an alimony award in your situation, and can help with modification and enforcement requests.
Some people seek to resolve financial issues pertaining to divorce before entering into a marriage. A prenuptial agreement can be a wise decision if you are coming into a marriage with substantial assets, or have heirs for whom you would like to provide. A postnuptial agreement accomplishes the same goals, but is entered into after marriage, perhaps to ease a spouse's anxiety. A postnuptial agreement can also serve as a legal document for a couple who wishes to live apart yet remain married.
If both parties can work together to reach agreement pertaining to property, children, alimony and other issues, divorce can be relatively simple. But, even in an uncontested divorce, there are a number of pleadings and supporting papers that need to be prepared and filed with the court, including a detailed settlement agreement and, if children are involved, a parenting plan. It is always a good idea to have an experienced family law attorney assist you with divorce paperwork and review your settlement agreement. Please note: an attorney is not permitted to represent both spouses in an uncontested divorce.
In this innovative process, a divorcing couple and their individual attorneys enter a binding agreement to resolve all issues without court intervention. The lawyers provide guidance as you and your spouse collaborate to work through disputes and come to terms, with neutral experts retained to provide any needed supportive information. The attorneys at Sutton Law are experienced in collaborative divorce, and can help you reach a satisfactory resolution.
Divorce mediation allows you to resolve issues of contention with the help of a mediator rather than a judge. Each party retains an attorney for legal advice, and all work together to come to agreement on as many issues as possible. The mediator then helps the parties negotiate any remaining disputes until a mediation agreement is reached. Debra Sutton is a Supreme Court-certified family law mediator, and offers mediation services for her clients.
Divorce papers signed by a family court judge are legally binding and fully enforceable. Still, it is not uncommon for a spouse to try to ignore a court order for child or spousal support, or to deny a parent visitation rights. Sutton Law can help protect your legal rights, whether it means seizing assets or garnishing wages. Modifications are requests to change court orders because of significantly changed circumstances. A job loss, relocation, or issues with children can be a legal basis to obtain modification.
Family law jurisdictional disputes can be complex. Questions arise when a parent interferes with custody arrangements by moving with a child to another state, or moves and then files for divorce. Which state should decide the case? In venue disputes, the parties argue over the location of the court that may adjudicate a family law issue. This question is decided based upon convenience and other factors, with the needs of the child always given priority. Sutton Law has decades of experience with jurisdiction and venue disputes.
Domestic violence should never be tolerated, and the attorneys at Sutton Law are committed to taking all necessary action to protect our clients. Conversely, a spouse can be falsely accused of domestic violence, sometimes in an effort to gain an advantage in child custody negotiations. In this case, we will work to establish our client's innocence and protect his or her rights.
Sutton Law is experienced in representing clients in paternity actions. A paternity suit may be brought by a mother seeking child support, or the state may file for support against a non-custodial parent. A father may sue to establish his paternity and establish a role in his child's life, or he may seek to disprove paternity to avoid paying child support.
During particularly difficult family legal disputes, the best interests of the children involved may be called into question. The court may appoint a guardian ad litem to represent a child, which may involve supervising parental visitation, conferring with teachers, and making recommendations concerning the child's welfare. The appointment of a guardian can be a contentious situation, resulting in litigation. Sutton Law will work to protect your interests along with those of the child.


Bilateral relations between Qatar and Ethiopia and the ways of enhancing and developing them in various fields, especially economy, investment, tourism and infrastructure, were discussed during a session of official talks between His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani and Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed Ali at the Amiri Diwan in Doha on Tuesday.
The two sides also exchanged views on regional and international developments, the official Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported.
The meeting was attended by HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa al-Thani and a number of ministers.
From the Ethiopian side, the meeting was attended by a number of ministers and members of the delegation accompanying the prime minister.
Dr Abiy Ahmed Ali was accorded an official reception upon his arrival at the Amiri Diwan. His Highness the Amir also hosted on Tuesday a luncheon banquet in honour of Dr Ali and the delegation accompanying him. The banquet was attended by HE Sheikh Abdullah and a number of ministers.

Meanwhile, Qatar's ambassador to Ethiopia Hamad bin Mohamed al-Dosari stressed that the official visit of the Ethiopian Prime Minister to Doha came within the framework of promoting and strengthening bilateral relations and co-operation between the two countries.
In statements to QNA, al-Dosari said the talks covered key issues of mutual concern, mainly with regard to co-operation and co-ordination to achieve stability and ensure peace and security in the Horn of Africa, as well as combating terrorism in all its manifestations.
Al-Dosari highlighted the keenness of Dr Ali to build strong relations with friendly and sisterly countries, including co-operation in the political and economic fields, which is consistent with the vision of Qatar, especially in view of the serious political volatility of the Horn of Africa and the Middle East.
He also noted that the Ethiopian government's focus on attracting foreign investments and promoting the role of the private sector open up new horizons of co-operation between the two countries. There is no doubt this visit will elevate Qatari-Ethiopian relations to the highest levels, he said.
The Ethiopian Prime Minister's visit represents a new qualitative leap forward in relations between the two countries as well as bilateral and reciprocal visits at the level of senior dignitaries and officials of the two countries, notably the visit of His Highness the Amir to Ethiopia in April 2017, QNA said.
Besides, the visit will provide new support to co-operation between the two friendly countries, and open up more investment opportunities for mutual benefit, it added.

Each autumn, the Center hosts the East Asian Civilizations in Beijing program, which brings a diverse group of undergraduates to China to study Asian history, culture, and society. This year, 21 students from the College are learning abroad at the Center while living on the Renmin University of China campus, delving into three classes focused on various aspects of Chinese ancient and modern civilization.
The summer of 2014 brought an unprecedented number of University of Chicago undergraduate interns to the Center in Beijing. Ten interns researched public policy and environmental governance at the Center. Two students also worked on biology research with top international professors, while the Center's first-ever affiliated contemporary arts intern worked on this year's installation in the Steve Sun Art Gallery at the Center. The summer interns also had the opportunity to join Summer Language Program students on a range of group excursions in Beijing and to the nearby historical city of Chengde.
Summer 2014 marked the fourth year that the Chicago in Beijing Summer Chinese Language Program has been held at the Center in Beijing. This year, a group of current UChicago undergraduates were joined by several UChicago graduate students and an incoming first-year in studying Mandarin and exploring Beijing and wider China. The students attended lectures and drill sessions at the Center, visited local historical sites each weekend, and got involved in the community of UChicago summer interns and alumni in the city. University of Chicago Chinese teachers Youqin Wang and Fangpei Cai led the program, with assistance from four local junior teachers.
Michael G. Kulma, who brings experience in foreign policy and international scholarship as an executive director and senior fellow at the Asia Society, was appointed the University of Chicago's Associate Vice President for Global Initiatives on July 7, 2014.
The Social Sciences in Beijing Study Abroad spring quarter program presents students with an opportunity to delve into China's economic transformation and rising global impact from the inside. The quarter's classes painted a rich picture of contemporary China's economy, society, and politics, as considered from a vantage point in Beijing. In addition to taking a full load of courses, the 2014 Social Sciences cohort were adventurous travelers, using weekends and a mid-term break to explore the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, and Shaanxi.
On March 22, the Center in Beijing hosted a reception in collaboration with the Office of College Admissions to welcome local students that had been accepted to the College's Class of 2018. The event provided an opportunity for newly admitted students to meet each other, and for the students and their parents to get answers to their questions about enrolling at UChicago and preparing for college life in America. Attendees came from high schools throughout Beijing and wider China.
From December 17-20, 2013, a group of University of Chicago undergraduates led by Office of Career Advancement staff visited the workplaces of alumni and friends in Beijing and Shanghai to get a sense of the current job market in China. This was the second Career Trek to bring UChicagoans to mainland China (read more about the first Career Trek to Beijing here). The trip was focused on business and entrepreneurship, and many of the student participants are members of the UChicago Careers in Business professional development program.

#15 Iowa State rallies for 23-20 Friday afternoon win at #20 Texas; Big 12 championship spot looking good
Posted on 2 years ago by Wayne Delphos
AUSTIN, Texas — Breece Hall scored on a 3-yard run with 1:25 remaining, and No. 15 Iowa State held off last-minute drive by Sam Ehlinger and No. 20 Texas to remain in first place in the Big 12 with a 23-20 victory Friday.
After Iowa State sacked Ehlinger on third down, Texas' Cameron Dicker barely missed left with a 58-yard field goal attempt as time expired.
The Cyclones (7-2, 7-1) have almost locked up a spot in the Big 12 championship game for the first time.
Hall gained 91 yards on 20 carries, his first game under 100 this season, but had 30 on the final 69-yard touchdown drive. Quarterback Brock Purdy connected with tight ends Charlie Kolar and Dylan Soehner for the other 39 yards.
Iowa State trailed 20-16 early in the fourth quarter after bad two-play sequence for Texas (5-3, 4-3) helped the Cyclones get a field goal by Connor Assalley.
Purdy completed 25 of 36 for 312 yards and one touchdown. Kolar made six receptions for 131.
Ehlinger was 17 of 29 for 298 yards and one touchdown in what could be his final home game for the Longhorns. Ehlinger and Brennan Eagles set up touchdowns in the first and third quarters, connecting for 59 and 45 yards.
Hall began the game averaging 146 yards a game, fifth best in the country.
Iowa State: The Cyclones have never won a championship in the Big 12 or their previous league, the Big Eight. Iowa State's last conference title came in 1912. The Cyclones have not secured a spot in the Big 12 championship game, but a victory against West Virginia next week or another loss by Oklahoma could seal it.
Texas: The Longhorns have not been eliminated from the Big 12 race, but it's real close with two games to play.

Is Ferguson Missouri the latest example of liberal manipulation
Barbara Howard— November 27, 2014
On August 8, 2014, an 18-year old Black teenager, Michael Brown was shot and killed by a white policeman, Darren Wilson, in Ferguson, Missouri.
Several days later protests started and continued almost daily for months. Violence erupted, with looting of local stores with large-scale property damage, not to mention confrontation between police and protesters, resulting in multiple arrests, playing out on national, international and social media.
What should have been a local matter played out in the courts, the shooting of Michael Brown became a wide spread issue of long-simmering community racial hatred with tentacles reaching all the way to the White House.
Professional outside agitators descended on Ferguson, the most well-known being the Rev. Al Sharpton, who had recently been anointed as the consultant on race relations to President Barack Hussein Obama.
Some call it his "remarkable rise to national prominence from community organizer to President Obama's consultant" (Joseph Weber, FOX News, November 19, 2014, Sharpton's debt issues resurface amid his political rise). Others call him a "washed-up TV personality and professional race baiter" (Hanna Bleau, BizPac Review, November 8, 2014 He's Obama's 'boy'; Sharpton invited to counsel Obama after election loss).
Whatever you call him, he's always in the middle of the race war between blacks and whites. In fact, he stirs it up instead of calming it down. He already declared that regardless of the outcome, when the Ferguson grand jury's verdict was announced, he would initiate protests in various cities across the country.
But there are several questions one should want asked and answered about the Ferguson "war." It's a war because the police donned military gear and rode around in tanks. Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson called for a curfew and Missouri Governor Jay Nixon called out the National Guard.
Dr. Ben Carson, professor emeritus of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University and author of the book, One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America's Future writes in the August 29th issue of Black Community News, A Problem Bigger than Ferguson,
"Last year, 100 black males were killed by police in the United States. In the same year, 5,000 blacks were killed by other blacks, the vast majority being males. Could it be that we are erroneously being manipulated into making this incident a racial issue, when, in fact, it is a component of a much larger social issue?"
So we ask ourselves,
Why is Ferguson up in arms over the shooting of one young Black man?
Why a community outcry in a working class neighborhood in the suburbs of St. Louis?
Why did Sharpton go to Ferguson immediately after the shooting to organize a protest against the police department before a grand jury had even been convened to determine the guilt or innocence of Officer Wilson?
Why did America's "Top Cop."
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, threaten a federal civil rights investigation if the Ferguson Grand Jury failed to indict Officer Wilson and why did he tell the protesters to "hold the course"?
Why did President Obama lament "we've lost a young man in heartbreaking and tragic circumstances" in the shooting of Michael Brown and "there is no excuse for police to use excessive force during peaceful protests."
Where was the President's concern about the "heartbreaking and tragic circumstances" in the 2,571 shootings in his home town of Chicago last year? How about the crime spree the weekend of January 20, 2014, that left 9 dead and 36 wounded, including 6 children? (http://crimeinchicago.blogspot.com/ )
You see, the race baiters have no use for the violence throughout the cities where both the victims and the perpetrators are Black. But Ferguson is a prime boiling pot for community organizers and race baiters like Sharpton.
Reverend Dr. Walter T. Richardson, Chairman, Miami-Dade County Community Relations Board, warns that "Ferguson is a community with serious disparities in services and the outcry was a cry for attention, but Miami has learned that violence yields no positive results."
Cedric Alexander, President, National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, stated on CNN that "The community and the police department, somehow at some point are going to have to start to heal together. … "
The verdict is in. So ask yourselves, "Why is Sharpton organizing protests across the country?"
Dr. Carson warns "We have a social crisis brewing if we continue down the path we are on now."
But Kevin Jackson, Executive Director, The Black Sphere and author of the book, Race Pimping, told FOX News "The Democrats want the strife in Ferguson to happen, they need this to happen….They love this strife." (http://theblacksphere.net/race-pimping/)
Michael Brown was clearly not a model citizen, but he was somebody's child. The manipulation of Ferguson needs to stop and let this family mourn their child in peace.

Screenshot

A: make sure the z-index of .modal-backdrop must be less than the z-index of .modal-content.
for example:
.modal-backdrop {z-index: 1050;}
.modal-content {z-index: 1060;}

A: Yes, This is css issue just you have to increase z-index of modal-content class.
.modal-content{
  z-index:2000;
}

A: In your css try to add: .modal{z-index:2000;}
so it can be above .modal-backdrop that is transparent black.
If you are using own css file in document head place it under bootstrap css file, otherwise use !important in z-index but it is not recommended.
EDIT:
also make sure that you have the latest version available, this could also be the reason of something working improperly:
