What States
Facts and Trivia About U.S. States
The Belt Regions of the United States
The United States is home to a number of regions that are referred to as "belts." These belt regions are defined by shared characteristics, such as religion, climate, or agriculture. Importantly, the belt regions of the United States are informally defined regions, rather than specifically delineated geographical areas.
Historically, the term "belt" applied to regions along a similar latitude. These areas shared a common climate, allowing a large area to grow similar crops. However, as the United States grew, the term was more broadly applied to regions of the country with similar types of industry, as well as culturally cohesive regions.
Importantly, belt regions are not mutually exclusive, meaning there is a large degree of overlap between the belts. For example, many southeastern states are part of the Bible Belt, the Sun Belt, the Cotton Belt, and the Black Belt.
Because agricultural belt regions are typically based on traditional production in different areas, they do not necessarily contain all of the currently important growing regions for these crops. For example, California is a leading producer of both rice and cotton, but is not considered a part of either the Rice Belt or the Cotton Belt.
Religious Belts
The Bible Belt
The Bible Belt refers to a region of the Southeastern United States that exhibits higher church attendance than the national average. Evangelical Christianity is strongly associated with the Bible Belt, and the majority of residents claim that religion is important to them.
The states generally considered to make up the Bible Belt are Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Parts of Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, and West Virginia are also included.
The United States is not the only country with a Bible Belt. Similar areas with high concentrations of religious people have been identified outside of the U.S. These Bible Belts exist in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and throughout Europe.
While the Bible Belt in the United States is strongly associated with Evangelical Christianity, international Bible Belts are associated with other Christian denominations. These denominations include Roman Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and several types of Protestantism.
The Stroke Belt
The Stroke Belt largely overlaps the Bible Belt, although there is some debate about whether Texas should be included. This area has higher rates of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases than the rest of the United States.
Smaller Belt Areas Delineated by Religion
The Jell-O Belt
Also called the Mormon Corridor, the Jell-O Belt is an area of the southwestern United States with high concentrations of members of the Church of Latter-day Saints. It got its nickname from the popularity of Jell-O among Utah residents, who purchase more Lime Jell-O than any other demographic in the U.S.
The Jell-O belt is centered in Utah; it stretches into parts of Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona, and California.
The Unchurched Belt
The Unchurched Belt contains the states of Oregon, Washington, and Alaska, as well as part of Nevada. These states contain the highest percentage of people who are not affiliated with any church.
Climate Belts
The Sun Belt
Named for its sunshine, the Sun Belt is a diverse area that spans the entire width of the United States, south of the 36th parallel. This large region contains roughly the southern third of the U.S., and has been a hub of population growth since the 1960s.
The states that lie within the Sun Belt include all of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida, as well as parts of California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
The desire to live in warmer climates, combined with a building boom and greater availability of air conditioning, has lead to rapid growth in the Sun Belt. The area is home to some of the fastest growing cities in the United States according to the United States Census Bureau, including Phoenix, Arizona, the country's fastest growing city. Other fast-growing cities in the region include San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Austin in Texas, as well as Jacksonville, Florida, and San Diego, California.
Because of the growth the Sun Belt has seen over the past century, it has become a center of industry. It is particularly well know for the high tech industry, notability in Silicon Valley, California. More recently, Texas has begun to compete with California in the technology sector. Aerospace is also a major industry within the Sun Belt, with major NASA facilities located in Houston, Texas, and Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Although the Sun Belt is named for its sunshine, it contains a diversity of climates. These range from Mediterranean in California, desert in the southwest, humid subtropical in the southeast, and tropical in Florida.
The Frost Belt, The Salt Belt, and The Snow Belt
The Sun Belt isn't the only belt region that is named for the local climate. To the north lies a region called both the Frost Belt and the Salt Belt, so named for the cold temperatures (and the salt used to keep ice at bay).
The Frost Belt and Salt Belt span roughly the same area, from the upper Midwest to the Northeast. The states that make up these belts are North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, along with the District of Columbia.
The Snow Belt is a smaller area within the Frost Belt and Salt Belt that receives relatively more snow than the surrounding areas due to the lake effect. These areas are located on the southern and eastern coasts of the Great Lakes, in the states of Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.
Banana Belts
A Banana Belt is an area with a milder climate than other areas directly surrounding it. These small pockets of relative warmth are found throughout the United States. One example is Sausalito, California, a part of the Northern San Francisco Bay Area that is much sunnier than the foggy areas nearby.
Banana Belts are found outside the United States. Indeed, Western and Northern Europe can be considered Banana Belts, as the North Atlantic Current makes them warmer than other regions at similar latitudes.
Industrial and Agricultural Belts
The Rust Belt
Previously called the Steel Belt, the Rust belt is an area that includes portions of the Midwest as well as the Great Lakes region of the Northeast. It was traditionally the home of manufacturing in the United States, although it has been experiencing decline since the 1980s.
The Rust Belt is centered in the Great Lakes States of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Unlike other belts, it generally refers to cities within these states that were once centers of steel production.
In the 1960s, the Rust Belt began to decline as the manufacturing sector encountered offshoring and increased competition from foreign factories. This decline coincided with the growth of the Sun Belt region to the south.
Today, the term Rust Belt is considered by some to be offensive, as it associates the region with economic deterioration.
The Cotton Belt
The Cotton Belt is an area of the southeastern United States where the primary agricultural product was historically cotton. While cotton is still planted in the cotton belt today, it is no longer the dominant crop in the area, which is now the home to more diverse agricultural production.
The Deep South states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina make up the heart of the Cotton Belt, with parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Virginia also represented.
Today, cotton production has moved to states that were not historically associated with the Cotton Belt, such as California and Colorado.
The Black Belt
Due to the localization of the slave trade within the Cotton Belt, the region largely overlaps with the Black Belt. The Black Belt is a band within the Cotton Belt with a high proportion of African-Americans. In the 20th century, the area saw an exodus called the Great Migration, in which African-Americans left the south in large numbers in search of better opportunities.
The Wheat Belt
Wheat is the most important cereal crop in the United States, and the Wheat Belt is the region in the western plains where wheat production is localized. It is considered the breadbasket of the U.S.
The southern states in the Wheat Belt are Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska. In these warmer states, winter wheat can be grown. Further north, in Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Montana, wheat is planted in spring and harvested in fall.
The Corn Belt
To the east of the Wheat Belt, corn supplants wheat as the agricultural staple. Corn does well in the region because of the area's fertile soils.
While corn is grown throughout the Midwest, the states most strongly associated with the Corn Belt are Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, and Ohio. South Dakota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Kentucky are sometimes included.
The Rice Belt
South of the Corn Belt, rice is produced in the states of Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. While California is also a major producer of rice, it is not considered part of the Rice Belt.
Single State Belts
While most belts span multiple states, some belts are located wholly within a single state. While these belts are less important within the broader context of the United States, they maintain regional significance.
The Pine Belt: Located within Mississippi, the Pine Belt is known for its proliferation of longleaf pine trees.
The Borscht Belt: Contained within New York's Catskill Mountains, the Borscht Belt was formerly the preferred summer vacation resort area for Jewish New Yorkers. While it is now defunct, it was a culturally important area well into the mid 20th century.

Udhauli Parva is an annual festival and public holiday in Nepal, especially in the Kirant region. It is a colourful, lively time, meant to commemorate the migration of bird and animal life to lower altitudes as winter approaches.
Udhauli means "descent", which explains its connection to the down-slope movement of wildlife. The date of Udhauli Parva is set on the full moon of the month of Mangsir on Nepal's calendar. It generally lands in December on the Gregorian Calendar.
During the festival, there is a worshiping of "Mother Earth" called "Bhumi Puja", where the people thank the land for the most recent harvest.
Another key feature of the celebrations is the Sakela dance, wherein everyone dons special, traditional attire and dances round in a big circle to music played on instruments like the madal and the dhol.

Manslaughter in English law
Texas jury hands out a life sentence to a habitual drunk driver
A Texas jury deliberated for only 45 minutes before sentencing a 40-year-old woman to life in prison after her punishment-only trial in San Antonio. The woman had previously entered a guilty plea on a murder charge stemming from her involvement in a wrong-way crash in 2010 that claimed the life of a 38-year-old man.
Bexar County prosecutors are taking an aggressive approach with motorists who have been involved in fatal accidents while under the influence, and they are opting to pursue felony murder charges in these cases rather than intoxication manslaughter. The woman is the fourth defendant to receive a lengthy prison sentence in the county following the adoption of the new strategy. The Bexar County district attorney has said that her office will continue to file felony murder charges when appropriate. She added that the jury verdict and the speed in which it was returned were a vindication of the approach that her office is taking.
The defense attorney in the case had asked for a 20-year prison sentence, which would have been the maximum penalty had the woman been facing intoxication manslaughter charges. However, the defendant's testimony and her previous record of drunk driving garnered little sympathy from the jury.
The woman claimed that relationship problems and a pending divorce contributed to her two DWI arrests in 2008, and she then claimed that she was driving in an orderly fashion even though she had been on the wrong side of the road for more than three miles before the fatal accident. The woman was found to have a blood-alcohol level of more than three times the legal limit when she was tested after the crash.
This case demonstrates the hard line that authorities in Texas are taking in DWI cases, and even first-time offenders can face severe penalties. A criminal defense attorney with experience in drunk driving cases may be able to lower the severity of the punishments assessed by entering into plea negotiations with prosecutors. He or she could also question the actions of police officers or dispute the results of field sobriety or breath tests.

Florida woman sentenced to 11 years after DUI crash
A 26-year-old woman in Pensacola has been sentenced to 11 years of imprisonment in connection to a fatal DUI incident last April. Authorities there report that the defendant rear-ended a car and killed a man on Interstate 10. A breath test is said to have determined that the woman's BAC was more than twice the legal limit at the time of the crash.
In addition, it is alleged that she only briefly stopped and did not render aid to the victim, instead electing to continue driving until she was detained by police. Law enforcement personnel maintain that she was driving at least 92 mph before the crash; the other vehicle rolled over on impact and ejected the decedent. In December, the woman pleaded no contest to charges of DUI manslaughter.
A case like this may implicate several different scenarios that could be worth further consideration. For instance, blood alcohol testing done in the field can be subject to inaccuracy in some conditions. Weather conditions can sometimes cause erroneous readings in the radar devices commonly used by law enforcement personnel, and only a few field sobriety tests are accepted to have a scientific basis. Medical conditions on the part of the defendant can also lead to a mistaken accusation of DUI, particularly where symptoms closely match those commonly associated with alcohol intoxication such as hypoglycemia.
Although the defendant, in this case, has already been convicted, it might still be possible to appeal her sentence if errors were made by the court during the legal process. New evidence admitted into consideration may be able to force a new trial or allow for her sentence to be renegotiated. If the defendant has no prior offenses on her record, for instance, her DUI lawyer might argue for alternative sentencing such as intensive supervision, community service or house arrest.

Wrong-way collision kills six; driver has prior DUI
Pennsylvania residents may be interested in the emerging details of a wrong-way crash that took the lives of six people. A 21-year-old woman is suspected of drunk driving and manslaughter following the head-on collision, which occurred on a California highway on Feb. 9. The woman has a previous DUI conviction.
According to witnesses, the woman was driving in a Camaro at up to 100 miles per hour in the wrong direction on State Route 60 near Los Angeles. Traveling east on the westbound side of the highway, the Camaro hit a Ford Explorer head-on. Two of the Explorer's occupants died at the scene, as did two of the passengers in the Camaro. One of the fatally-injured Camaro passengers, a 24-year-old Rialto woman, was the driver's sister.
A 42-year-old woman and 20-year-old woman, both passengers in the Explorer, were transported to a hospital with serious injuries. Both of the women were declared dead while at the hospital, bringing the death toll to six. The suspected at-fault driver broke her femur and suffered a ruptured bladder. She is reportedly in a hospital in stable condition. A third vehicle, a Ford Freestyle, crashed into the wreckage of the Camaro and the Explorer. The 57-year-old man who was driving it suffered minor injuries.
A California Highway Patrol officer said that the woman was pulled from the Camaro following the early morning wreck. At least one alcoholic beverage container was discovered among the wreckage, according to authorities.
The woman was convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol in 2010. Department of Motor Vehicle records indicates that her driver's license was suspended and then reinstated in 2011. A neighbor of the woman expressed surprise at the circumstances of the car accident. He said that he rarely saw the woman drink alcohol and that she was not the type of girl who got into trouble.
The investigation is ongoing. If the woman is charged with and convicted of her second DUI offense or of vehicular manslaughter, she may be punished with jail time or face other serious penalties. A DUI defense attorney may be able to help a defendant by arguing for the exclusion of certain evidence at trial if the case presents grounds for such an argument.

A Child's Christmas In Wales
Written by William E (Bill) Smith in On The Radio
The holiday season has come around again and there has been a number of requests for me to re-post the version of Dylan Thomas's "A Child's Christmas In Wales" that Arthur Bull and myself recorded on Christmas Eve somewhere in the late eighties for CIUT-FM Radio in Toronto. The story and the music are the same as previously posted.
Mumbles • Winter 2005: The journey toward Swansea in the south of Wales took several unexpected turns, a spirit force calling, as this is where my family history, as far back as I can discover, began. Both my grandfather and great grandfather were master mariners who sailed the tall ships out of this port, and in the summers, as a young lad, I was shipped off to two aunts — Polly and Queenie — who ran a seaside B&B. My only real memory other than my aunts is the Mumbles Railway, the world's first fare paying passenger rail service, which unfortunately ended on January 5th 1960. It ran along the promenade from downtown Swansea to Mumbles Head.
As we often have no idea which course to take on these trips, we let unusual or familiar names of towns and villages dictate the route. One such destination is Wiseman's Bridge, the name reminding us of the good doctor here on Hornby. The topography has changed, the rock strewn mountainous passes are replaced by winding country lanes with high hedgerows archwaying from each side, shaded tunnels bursting out into sunshine and revealing lush green farmland. The tower of a Norman church or around this bend the remains of a massive castle in the pub laden village of Laugharne. The spirit hollers – Stop! Time to take a walk around the castle's base to stretch our legs. The sign read "Dylan Thomas' Boat House". Here we would spend a pleasant hour soaking up the atmosphere in the home of Wales' greatest writer, peering through the window of his work-shed where he wrote some of his masterpieces, and become inspired to continue on to Mumbles where he spent a great deal of his time.
Known, as he was, to be a serious drinker, it seemed only natural to see if we could find the three most celebrated of his haunts. The most famous, the Mermaid Hotel where he could illegally drink on Sundays, has been gutted by fire and is now a block of flats. All that remains of the original is the second floor ornate wrought iron balustrade. The second, the Marine Hotel, where he and his cronies had a quick drink before the theatre, is now a restaurant called the Village Inn, where Essjay and I enjoyed a delicious supper of locally caught fish. The third, the Antelope located at 628 Mumbles Road, much to our delight, still exists. The somewhat shabby exterior with dirty yellow walls and its peeling faded salmon pink wooden window and door frames, a television dish protruding from the roof, sported a prominent sign reading; LEASE FOR SALE – ASTLEYS COMMERCIAL, which inspired us to invest immediately in the UK National Lottery which produces winnings in excess of £1,000,000. Our future as Welsh publicans possibly in place. The customers were a mixture of locals, mostly young, and seemed unconcerned that it had been one of Dylan Thomas's favourite haunts; although one older bohemian chap offered to show us the chair that the author often sat in more than a half-a-century past.
There were no rooms available at the Antelope so we stayed a couple of doors down at the 4-star Carlton Hotel so that we could frequent this historic bar several times. The morning that we left, crossing the road to our car with a Belisha beacon lighting the way of the Zebra crossing, there was a feeling of sadness that the next time we came, yet one more slice of history would have disappeared, have become another glittered-up tourist seaside attraction.
A Child's Christmas in Wales: by Dylan Thomas (48:18 minutes)
http://rantanddawdle.ca/wp-content/uploads/a-childs-christmas.mp3
Bill Smith: Voice, percussion and soprano saxophone
Arthur Bull: Guitar
Recorded by D.B. Hawkes Christmas Eve (late 1980s) for CIUT-FM radio. 89.5
On The Radio: Me and Arthur are trudging along Bloor Street this snowy Christmas Eve somewhere in the latter half of the eighties, me with my soprano saxophone and a bunch of little noise makers and Arthur with his 3/4 size Gibson ES-142 guitar in a backpack and lugging his '58 Fender Deluxe amplifier that's about the size of a carry-on suitcase, hoping that Long & McQuades music shop will still be open, that they will have in stock a book of popular Christmas carols. Sure enough all the shops along the street between Bathhurst and Spadina are brightly lit, welcoming the last minute shoppers. The music book, which I still have, has everything we need, chock-full of seasonal super hits. Across the street is the College Copy Shop. Me and Arthur settle in, photocopy the text of the Dylan Thomas masterpiece, dismantle the sheet music book, selecting the most familiar Christmas tunes – The Night Before Christmas, Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer, Good King Wenceslas, Silent Night, Winter Wonderland, We Three Kings – and with a glue stick and blank sheets of paper assembled a performance, mixing music notation and words together to be spiral-bound by the bored sleepy night shift counterman.
With preparations in place, we ambled just around the corner to the Sticky Wicket on Spadina, the closest pub, to relax and discuss the upcoming radio broadcast. A couple pints of real ale and we have the whole thing covered. The sheet music is for guitar, a C pitched instrument and my soprano is in Bb, and although I can read music I cannot successfully transpose the music. Adding one more possible hindrance. No problem says Arthur, we'll just wing it.
For the creative musical happenings being performed in Toronto in the late eighties CIUT Radio was a late-night paradise. At midnight, after the regular programming concluded, dee-jay D.B. Hawkes invited his musician friends to play live on the air. Fortunately every performance was recorded and the recording of that evening posted below became something of a legend, replayed every Christmas Eve. On this very night, Paul Haines driving north to his home in Smooth Rock Falls is tuned in to CIUT and imagines as he travels through the night, the snow whirling about him, that he is hearing Albert Ayler playing Christmas songs on the radio. The station is fading as he moves outside of its limited broadcasting range, so he pulls over and parks by the side of the road until the story is ended.

Scarlett Johansson + Holly Miranda + Kendra Morris + Julia Hatig
Can a 'supergroup' be formed by artists from different mediums? Typically, a supergroup consists of musicians coming together who are already successful in their own right. But what about, say, an actress and a bunch of established musicians? Longtime A-Lister Scarlett Johansson and four musicians teamed up to form The Singles. (The generic name may be in jeopardy; more on that in a bit). In addition to Johansson, the group features Haim bassist Este Haim and singer-songwriters Holly Miranda, Kendra Morris, and Julia Haltigan. The band released their first, and likely only, single "Candy" a month ago. The three-and-a-half minute driving, synth pop jam starts with Johansson singing "boy, you got me cravin' sweets again/ 'cuz boy my tooth be achin' for your skin." The lyrics continue in same gooey vein. Layered voices coo "you're the candy to my heart ohhh ohhh in the chorus over a sweet, fluttering riff.
Johansson succinctly described the band's sound to Rolling Stone as "ultra pop but also a little ironic, a little in on the joke." She also told the magazine that "the idea was to write super-pop dance music written and performed by girls." TV on the Radio guitarist Dave Sitek produced and recorded the track at his Federal Prism Studios. Interestingly, Este Haim noted on her Twitter account that the song was recorded almost three years ago. That's a long time to keep this sort of supergroup a secret, but this isn't Johansson's first foray into music. She released an album of Tom Waits' covers seven years ago (also involving Dave Sitek) and collaborated with Pete Yorn a year later for The Break Up. Those projects went along without a hitch. That's not gonna happen with The Singles. A few days after "Candy" dropped, a 16-year-old garage rock and, ironically, power pop group named The Singles issued a cease and desist to the "Candy" makers alleging trademark infringement. There has been no update since.

Q: How to get updated form input value via jQuery/Javascript? I see lots of discussion about setting and getting a field value via jQuery. But my issue is that I am unable to get a value after I submit, then edit the value in an input field, then submit again. So the first time it works, the second time it doesn't.
Here's my scenario: I have a form that is used to manage filters for a dataset:
<form id="filtersForm">

              <select id="filterField_780b902d" class="selectizeField selectized" name="filterField_780b902d" placeholder="Select field..." tabindex="-1" style="display: none;">
                <option value="firstName" selected="selected">First Name</option>
              </select>

            <select id="filterOperator_780b902d" class="form-control">

              <input class="form-control" type="text" name="filterValue_780b902d" id="filterValue_780b902d" data-type="String" placeholder="Input Value">

      <input class="btn btn-default" type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

When I first submit the form, I am able to successfully get the value for the input field with id #filterValue_780b902d. But if the user edits the value in the form, then submits again, the original value is returned.
Here's how I try to retrieve the value (I am using Meteor JS, which provides an event map on the click event with an event parameter):
var target    = event.target,
    fieldName = 'filterValue_' + fieldId;
    thisVal1  = target[fieldName].value,
    thisVal2  = template.find( "[name='" + fieldName + "']" ).value,
    thisVal3  = $( '#' + fieldName ).attr('value'),
    thisVal4  = $( '#' + fieldName ).val();

When I submit the form the first time with the input value "Meghan", here's the response logs:
contactFilters.filtersForm submit
contactFilters.filtersForm.fieldId: 780b902d
contactFilters.filtersForm.fieldName: filterValue_780b902d
contactFilters.filtersForm.thisVal1: Meghan
contactFilters.filtersForm.thisVal2: Meghan
contactFilters.filtersForm.thisVal3: undefined
contactFilters.filtersForm.thisVal4: Meghan

But when I change the input value to "Karen", here's what I get:
contactFilters.filtersForm submit
contactFilters.filtersForm.fieldId: 780b902d
contactFilters.filtersForm.fieldName: filterValue_780b902d
contactFilters.filtersForm.thisVal1: Meghan
contactFilters.filtersForm.thisVal2: undefined
contactFilters.filtersForm.thisVal3: undefined
contactFilters.filtersForm.thisVal4: undefined

So three questions:

*

*Why does thisVal1 not update when the text of the field is updated?

*Why does thisVal2 and thisVal4 become undefined?

*What's the proper way to get the field value that will update when the input field value updates?

Thanks in advance for your help!

A: i believe the correct way to get  value in jQuery is to use the val() function.
so you should probably be using:
var target    = event.target,
    fieldName = 'filterValue_' + fieldId;
    myValue  = $( '#' + fieldName ).val();

as stated here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/15903284/6368401
and here:
http://api.jquery.com/val/
in javascript
document.getElementById("input_id").value

other javascript methods explained here:
How do I get the value of text input field using JavaScript?
to answer your 'undefined' questions:
var target    = event.target,
    fieldName = 'filterValue_' + fieldId;
    thisVal1  = target[fieldName].value,

this is getting the original value from the postback.
thisVal2  = template.find( "[name='" + fieldName + "']" ).value,

i cant answer this one, as i dont know the answer
thisVal3  = $( '#' + fieldName ).attr('value');

the attribute "value" was never defined in the markup.

Once you have found your spirit animal, it is important to connect with it so that it can more easily guide your path. Learn everything you can about it – what it eats, special skills, life cycles, its baby making process, etc. Then, find ways to honor and get close to your spirit animal in the physical world. For example, if your animal is a forest creature, go camping and gain reverence how to grow hibiscus sabdariffa from seed Click here to generate your Spirit Animal Totem Message Comments. I have opened up the comments for each animal on the website. If you would like to see your comment published, then keep them specific to that particular animal.
I almost didn't look up what cockroaches as animal totems meant, because I didn't think I wanted to know what a cockroach animal totem meant! But I'm so glad I did look it up. I know you might still be thinking gross, but guidance is about shifting our thinking, in whichever form the guidance comes in.
Keep the Identity of your Animal Mum: It can seem overwhelmingly tempting to share your power animal with others. However, knowing the identity of your totem can disclose your own strengths and weakness to others. This could open the door for others to tap into your realm with intent on causing psychic and physical harm to you.

Sea Slaves: The Violation Of Human Rights Within The Fishing Industry In Southeast Asia
Nishtha Sharma
In March 2015, after 18 months of investigation, Associated Press (AP) journalists first traced the seafood available in supermarkets across the world to the abusive practices of human trafficking and slavery within the fishing industry in Southeast Asia. The Associated Press reported that "this intricate web of connections separates the fish we eat from the men who catch it, and obscures a brutal truth," exposing its readers to the harsh reality that their "seafood may come from slaves." While the initial report about the continuous violation of human rights led to the release of more than 2,000 slaves, the failure of the international community, especially the Thai Government, to fundamentally address the interwoven relationship between unsustainable fishing and human rights abuses has associated the fishing industry with one of the most significant violations of ecological and human rights in recent years.
The Associated Press exposed appalling abuses in the Thai industry operating off the coasts of Southeast Asia that relied on thousands of slaves smuggled from Myanmar (Burma) or Thailand. According to the Environmental Justice Foundation, the Thai seafood industry employs more than 800,000 people, while seafood exports are valued at 6 billion USD. Slave labourers smuggled from neighbouring states work in horrendous conditions where individuals are brutalised, kept in cages at ports on remote islands in Indonesia, and forced to work against their will. As the world's fourth largest seafood exporter, many exporters rely on human trafficking networks of this slave labour to crew their vessels and lower costs to provide cheap seafood to western markets. The lack of an adequate fisheries management in the region and the enforcement of human rights law has facilitated the fishing industry in Thailand. AP also added that "agents have become more desperate and ruthless, recruiting children and the disabled, lying about wages and even drugging and kidnapping migrants." According to the UN, 60 percent of Burmese migrants in Thailand's seafood industry were victims of forced labour.
A growing number of independent reports over such violations of human rights in Thailand by organisations such as Greenpeace, the Environmental Justice Foundation, and the Associated Press during the past decade have documented thousands of cases of abuse, calling for international attention to the issue. As a result, in 2014 the US State Department put Thailand down to the lowest tier on its Trafficking in Persons Report, while in May 2015, the European Union called Thailand a "non-cooperating" country due to its failure to monitor its fishing vessels and the trade of seafood from other countries into Thailand.
In response to international pressure from both sides of the Atlantic, Thailand's Government introduced new regulations and controls over the country's fishing vessels. However, despite international pressure, human rights abuses in Thailand's fishing industry continue to persist in remote, unpoliced waters, according to a new Greenpeace report called 'Turn the Tide'. In its investigation after government reforms, Greenpeace found that the Thai seafood industry fell persistently short of international labour, ecological, and human rights standards, resulting in the exploitation of trafficked laborers. Recent investigations by the Environmental Justice Foundation in the report entitled "Thailand's Seafood Slaves Human Trafficking, Slavery and Murder in Kantang's Fishing Industry" also found that the government's Port in-Port out (PIPO) system was unable to identify or assist victims of trafficking, forced, and bonded labour. This is because the PIPO system's mobile registration regularises victims of trafficking since many officials assume fishers in possession of formal identification did not require screening for indicators of trafficking, forced or bonded labour.
Greenpeace also reported that vessels travel thousands of miles into the remote waters of the Saya de Malha Bank area off the coast of east Africa to avoid detection surveillance as crew transfers occur at sea. AP reported that "some fishermen were so depressed that they simply threw themselves into the water," and that "captains began stowing corpses alongside the fish in ship freezers until they arrived back in Benjina." Greenpeace also claimed that much of the seafood caught by Thai vessels is unregulated as many frequently use fake permits and ghost fleets to avoid inspections. The organisation also reported that while crew members report being held against their will, authorities clear the vessels to return to port. Many survivors of abuse told Greenpeace that Captains routinely abuse, beat and traffic fishermen, especially when there is insufficient food or when exhausted crew members try to rest. Greenpeace reported that trafficked men were promised jobs at onshore fish processing factory, but were instead forced to work 20-hour days, seven days a week with freedom available only to those who paid back the 30,000 baht 834 USD for which the captains had purchased them.
Despite a lack of major improvement in the condition of workers within the fishing industry, the US government upgraded Thailand from tier 3 to the tier 2 watch list in its Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report, claiming that the Thai government had met the minimum standards required to fight human trafficking and violations of human rights. According to the Guardian, the report cited "significant efforts made by the Thai government to eliminate human trafficking within its borders. An increase in investigations, prosecutions and convictions, together with amended anti-trafficking legislation, were identified as factors in Thailand's improved status." However, "the report also pointed to evidence of continued trafficking in the fishing, sex, agriculture and domestic work industries, as well as ongoing government complicity in trafficking crimes." This move by the US government attracted harsh criticism from human rights groups including the Environmental Justice Foundation. The Environmental Justice Foundation claimed that the government made "the wrong decision at the wrong time," and "called on more durable reforms to ensure that corrupt practices, which have driven so many abuses, are addressed."
By failing to address the fundamental issues of human rights and the lack of sustainable methods of fishing in the region, many continue to remain victims of physical and psychological abuse at the hands of traffickers. However, organisations such as the Environmental Justice Foundation believe that "solutions to 'pirate' fishing and slavery in Thailand's fishing sector are available, practical and achievable through a multi-track approach emphasising leadership, coordinated joint action and genuine commitment from all stakeholders." This being considered, a genuine desire to reform the industry with robust enforcement measurement and coordinated action can bring significant changes to the industry and to the lives of those who have become victims of human trafficking and slave labour.

Xenobiotic responsive element in the 5'-upstream region of the human P-450c gene
Momoyo Kubota, Kazuhiro Sogawa, Yoshiko Kaizu, Takuji Sawaya, Junko Watanabe, Kaname Kawajiri, Osamu Gotoh, Yoshiaki Fujii-kuriyama
The nucleotide sequence of the 5'-upstream region up to about -4.1 kb of the human P-460c gene was determined. Two kinds of repetitive sequences were located; one was the Alu sequence which was inserted at three positions (-3127 to -3038, -3017 to -2770, and -2167 to -1851), and the other was the SINE-R element located just upstream of the most distal Alu sequences. The region other than the two repeated sequences showed an overall similarity of 70% to that of the rat P-450c gene. Survey of XRE or its homologues, responsible for the inducible expression of the rat P-450c gene, revealed eight XRE core sequences in this region of the human P-460c gene. Three of them were carried in the Alu sequences. A fusion gene which was constructed by ligating the upstream region of the human P-460c gene to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene expressed the CAT activity in response to the inducer, methylcholanthrene, when transfected into Hepa-1 cells. Stepwise decrease in CAT activity in three regions was observed as the 5 -upstream sequence containing XRE motifs was removed. However, the XRE core sequence in the Alu sequences seemed inactive, because elimination of the three elements in the Alu sequences did not affect the expressed CAT activity. In accordance with this observation, competition experiments using gel mobility shift assay showed that XRE core sequences in the Alu sequences could not compete with the XRE sequence for the inducer-bound receptor. Other XRE motifs than those in the Alu sequences appeared active and were conserved at similar positions to their counterparts in the rat P-450c gene.

Edmund Richard "Hoot" Gibson (August 6, 1892 – August 23, 1962) was an American rodeo champion, film actor, film director and producer. Whisht now and listen to this wan. While actin' and stunt work began as an oul' sideline to Gibson's focus on rodeo, he successfully transitioned from silent films to become a leadin' performer in Hollywood's growin' cowboy film industry. Whisht now and listen to this wan. Durin' the oul' period between World War I and World War II, he was second only to cowboy film legend Tom Mix as a box office draw, for the craic. He has a holy star on the oul' Hollywood Walk of Fame and was inducted into the oul' Western Performers Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.

7 In popular culture
Born Edmund Richard Gibson[1] in Tekamah, Nebraska,[2] he learned to ride a horse as a feckin' young boy. His family moved to California when he was seven years old. As an oul' teenager, he worked with horses on a holy ranch, which led to competition on buckin' broncos at area rodeos.
Given the bleedin' nickname "Hoot Owl" by co-workers, the oul' name evolved to just "Hoot". (Michael Wallis' book, The Real Wild West: The 101 Ranch and the oul' Creation of the oul' American West, says that Gibson "picked up the bleedin' nickname 'Hoot' while workin' as an oul' bicycle messenger for Owl Drug Company."[3] Dan L. Would ye believe this shite?Thrapp's Encyclopedia of Frontier Biography says that Gibson "is said to have been nicknamed because he once hunted owls in a bleedin' cave.")[4] Hoot, himself, stated in an episode of "You Bet Your Life" ( January 19, so it is. 1956), that he acquired the bleedin' nickname "Hoot", when he used to look for hoot owls in caves as an oul' child in Nebraska.
Career[edit]
In 1910, film director Francis Boggs was lookin' for experienced cowboys to appear in his silent film Pride of the oul' Range. Gibson and Tom Mix, another future star of Western films, were hired. Here's a quare one for ye. Gibson made an oul' second film for Boggs in 1911. After a bleedin' deranged employee killed Boggs,[5] director Jack Conway hired Gibson to appear in his 1912 Western His Only Son.[citation needed]
Actin' for Gibson was then an oul' minor sideline, and he continued competin' in rodeos to make a feckin' livin'. I hope yiz are all ears now. In 1912, he won the all-around championship at the famous Pendleton Round-Up[3] in Pendleton, Oregon and the feckin' steer ropin' world championship at the bleedin' Calgary Stampede.
Gibson's career was temporarily interrupted with service in the oul' United States Army durin' World War I as a feckin' sergeant in the feckin' Tank Corps.[6] When the bleedin' war ended, he returned to the feckin' rodeo business and became good friends with Art Acord, a holy fellow cowboy and movie actor, the hoor. The two participated in summer rodeo, then went back to Hollywood for the bleedin' winter to do stunt work. C'mere til I tell ya. For several years, Gibson had secondary film roles (primarily in Westerns) with stars such as Harry Carey, Lord bless us and save us. By 1921, the demand for cowboy pictures was so great, Gibson began receivin' offers for leadin' roles, you know yourself like. Some of these offers came from up-and-comin' film director John Ford, with whom Gibson developed a lastin' friendship and workin' relationship.
Financial difficulties and later life[edit]
Gibson in Unlucky Person (source: EYE Film Institute Netherlands)
From the bleedin' 1920s through the feckin' 1940s, Gibson was a bleedin' major film attraction, rankin' second only to Tom Mix as a Western film box-office draw. He successfully made the bleedin' transition to sound films, and as a result, became an oul' highly paid performer. After bein' released by Universal Pictures in the early 1930s, he signed a feckin' contract with the feckin' Poverty Row outfit Allied Pictures, makin' a holy series of profitable releases for the feckin' company, enda story. He appeared in his own comic books and was popular until singin' cowboys such as Gene Autry and Roy Rogers displaced yer man.[citation needed]
In 1927, Gibson, and five other California businessmen sponsored The Spirit of Los Angeles, a modification of the oul' International CF-10 for an attempt at winnin' the feckin' Dole Air Derby, would ye swally that? Gibson had his name painted on the feckin' nose for publicity. The aircraft crashed in the feckin' San Francisco Bay before the bleedin' start of the oul' race, to be sure. In 1933, Gibson injured himself when he crashed his plane while racin' cowboy star Ken Maynard in the National Air Races. Arra' would ye listen to this shite? Later, the oul' two friends teamed to make an oul' series of low-budget movies in the feckin' twilight of their careers.[citation needed]
Lobby card for Gibson's film The Winged Horseman (1929)
Gibson's years of substantial earnings did not see yer man through his retirement. Here's a quare one for ye. He had squandered much of his income on high livin' and poor investments. Me head is hurtin' with all this raidin'. By the bleedin' 1950s, Gibson faced financial ruin, in part due to costly medical bills from serious health problems. Would ye believe this shite?To get by and pay his bills, he earned money as a bleedin' greeter at a Las Vegas casino. For a time, he worked in a carnival and took virtually any job his dwindlin' name value could obtain, grand so. At one point he hosted a bleedin' booth at rodeos that encouraged ranchers to raise nutria. He also appeared in an episode of Groucho's You Bet Your Life, filmed in December 1955, begorrah. He made the final game with his contestant, but did not win the feckin' big money, though he earned himself a bleedin' share of the $440 prize money for the feckin' show.[7]
On September 6, 1913, Gibson married Rose August Wenger, a feckin' rodeo performer.[8] They had met at the oul' Pendleton Round-Up in Oregon sometime between 1911 and 1913. C'mere til I tell ya. Under the oul' name Helen Gibson, she became a major film star in her own right for a holy time, notably in the oul' lead role of The Hazards of Helen. Chrisht Almighty. Census records for 1920 indicate they were livin' separately; Hoot Gibson listed himself as married; Helen listed herself as widowed.[9]
Gibson married vaudeville actress Helen Johnson on April 20, 1922, in Riverside, California.[10] They had one child, Lois Charlotte Gibson. Jesus, Mary and holy Saint Joseph. They were divorced on February 2, 1929, in Hollywood, California.[11]
The fact that Hoot Gibson was married to two consecutive women who used the name Helen Gibson in some fashion has led to a good deal of confusion.[citation needed]
Gibson married film actress Sally Eilers on June 28, 1930.[12] The marriage ended in 1933.
Gibson married a final time to Dorothy Dunstan, an oul' 22-year-old yodeler, on July 3, 1942.[13]
Death[edit]
Hoot Gibson died of cancer in 1962 in Woodland Hills, California, and was interred in the bleedin' Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California.[14][15]
Legacy[edit]
In 1960, for his contribution to film, Gibson was inducted to the bleedin' Hollywood Walk of Fame and was honored with an oul' star at 1765 Vine Street in the feckin' Motion Pictures section.[16] In 1979, he was inducted into the bleedin' Western Performers Hall of Fame at the feckin' National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.[17]
In popular culture[edit]

Tiger Woods Taken Off Wrongful Death Lawsuit

By Ariel Scotti @ArielScotti
Tiger Woods is no longer named on the wrongful death lawsuit against a restaurant in South Florida that bears the pro golfer's name.
The family of bartender Nicholas Immesberger, who died in a car crash this past December after leaving the restaurant where he worked, has removed Woods' name from the suit voluntarily, ESPN reported. But both The Woods Jupiter — the name of the establishment near Tiger's Florida house — and Woods' girlfriend, the general manager of the restaurant, are still named in the suit.
"The decision was clearly appropriate and reflected the fact that Mr. Woods should not have been included in the lawsuit in the first place because he had nothing to do with Mr. Immesberger's death," Woods' lawyer, Barry Postman, said in a statement. "While the situation was tragic, the facts will ultimately show that the cause of Mr. Immesberger's car accident were the many decisions made by Mr. Immesberger on the night of his passing."
Postman argued that Woods is an investor in the restaurant but does not own it himself, according to ESPN.
The suit initially claimed that Woods contributed to Immesberger's death because the bartender, whose blood alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit, was over-served before getting in his car to drive home.
"We're all very sad that Nick passed away," Woods said at the time. "It was a terrible night, a terrible ending, and just — we feel bad for him and his entire family. It's very sad."

Social networking giant Facebook Inc., on Thursday introduced an additional option for account protection. Users can now register a USB-based physical key to their accounts, thus allowing them to login via a small hardware, Brad Hill, a security engineer at Facebook said in a blog post.
Most users access their accounts via two-factor authentication, which requires them to input a security code in addition to a password. The security code is sent via SMS text message or via the Facebook app.
With the new security key, users do not need to generate a code via text message. Instead, they would need to purchase a UBS-powered security key manufactured by companies like Yubico. The security firm's proprietary YubiKey can be inserted in a desktop, laptop or mobile device and users can generate a code from the device. The YubiKey supports U2F, Universal 2nd Factor, an open authentication standard developed by Google and Yubico which allows users to securely access services on a single device. U2F has been adopted by companies such as Dropbox, Salesforce, Gmail, and even the UK government.
Presently, U2F is supported by the FIDO Alliance, an open-authentication industry consortium.
However, the physical security keys for Facebook logins currently only work on certain web browsers like the latest version of Chrome or Opera, and the NFC-enabled Android devices. The Facebook mobile app doesn't support security key logins.

Chef Marcus Samuelsson spent this past weekend in Houston filming for his PBS reality series No Passport Required. Slated to air later this year, the episode will focus on Houston's West African community and its rapidly growing presence on Houston's culinary scene.
Houston will be one of six cities featured in season two. The show will also cover Filipino food in Seattle, Italian food in Philadelphia, Armenian food in Los Angeles, Chinese food in Las Vegas, and Brazilian and Portugese food in Boston.
Samuelsson tells CultureMap that he visited a few spots in Houston to complete his tour, including Safari, the Nigerian restaurant that's operated in southwest Houston for 30 years. He also dined at The Pass; chef-owners Seth Siegel-Gardner and Terrence Gallivan worked for the chef prior to moving to Houston.
To put a finishing touch on the episode, the show's producers arranged for a special dinner at Cafeza, the popular cafe in First Ward. Over a meal catered by Chòp n Blọk, the West African-inspired pop up series, Samuelsson led a conversation with a group of people with West African heritage — including Chòp n Blọk founder Ope Amosu, NFL player Fendi Onobun, Aces of Taste founder Ahrif Sarum, and local musician Demola — about the challenges of growing up Nigerian in America, the evolution of Houston's food scene, Hakeem Olajuwon as a role model, and more. Depending on what makes the final cut, viewers may also catch a glimpse or two of an opinionated food writer.
After dinner, and a brief performance by Demola, Samuelsson sat down for an interview about the show, his perspective on Houston, and what he thought of the meal he ate that night.
CultureMap: Why did you decide to come to Houston for an episode of the show?
Marcus Samuelsson: When we started to think about the show, Houston was always on it, because we wanted to think about cities that are iconic to America for different reasons, and also diversity wasn't forced. We wanted a place that maybe people would be surprised [by].
Houston and Vietnamese was always there, but then when we did Vietnamese in Nola, well, can't do it. Plus, they're too close to each other, right? We decided to [include Houston in] season two.
Houston fits on so many different levels. To the world and to America, I don't think Houston gets enough credit for its diversity. You know it, and you take it for granted. It might not be the first thing people think about Texas. I'm happy that we can show real America this is what it is.
CM: Where else are you going in Houston?
MS: What's exciting about Houston, it will be an incredible program, because it's not all in four walls restaurants. We're catching the pop-up scene, someone like Ope. We're also catching Safari that has been doing it for 30 years.
It will be all about food, but it won't be all about restaurants. Because some of those restaurants aren't here yet. That's what's exciting is catching this moment between immigrants who are not going to give up on a dream, 'I might have a day job, but I'm still finding an audience.' That's an American phenomenon to me. I'm not stopping.
CM: You've visited Houston many times because of your relationship with Seth and Terrence. How have you seen it change over the years?
MS: I think two things have happened. Because of the internet, people can tell stories from their restaurant in real time. Houston has been coming up as a food city for the last four or five years, just because the gatekeepers are less.
At the same time, the Houston food scene has evolved. Yes, it's Vietnamese, but it's a lot of guys like Seth and Terrence. Worked in New York, worked in Chicago, and then specifically wanted to come home.
You need major chefs to put it on the map, and then you need that underground belly, to realize that they need to cook, and it needs to be really, really good.
We talked about that before. You need local staples, too. I remember speaking to Monica [Pope] maybe 10 years ago now. We talked about farm-to-table Texas style. What does that mean? Do you have four seasons? I asked very basic questions.
She told me, you're not on an East Coast clock. Of course, you're not. Why should you be? It's not these four distinct seasons; therefore, you can grow in a different pattern. She's the one that unpacked that for me. It's, like, wow.
CM: What did you think of dinner tonight?
MS: It was great. Part is the energy. Part is they're not shying away from ethnic. They're not putting Sriracha on that. They're really staying with what it is.
That crab fritter, I've had it 50 times in Africa. It tastes like that. The bun was different. That road snack with the steak; that was exactly the way you'd get it at a bus stop or a train stop in Africa. It's different kinds of meat — don't ask what cut — chopped up, with some spice on it.
I love the fact that they're not trying to give it to you through this Western lens. This is how uncle and auntie would eat it, here it is. There's something unapologetic about that. I really love. That's the way all immigrant cultures should be. We're here. We welcome you to it. If you don't get it, it's on you.
CM: Do you think he can turn this pop-up into a successful business?
MS: I would never bet against a young, hard-working kid like Ope. He has a day job, and he's driving. He's doing it, he's connecting with his community. If he only does Nigerian weddings, he has a business right there. But he wants more. I think he'll do really well with it. Absolutely.
This is already connecting that first base of, who can do it with me. He's learning from every pop-up what to do better for next time. That's also a really good way to open a restaurant, because you get the back and forth. I remember when Seth opened. There were a lot of small dinners he did.
It happens on every level. I would not bet against Ope.

Courage is not the opposite of fear. A more accurate definition of courage is taking right action despite your fear. To do this takes forethought and a lot of practice.
Yoga helps in so many ways.
When we practice yoga asana we are required to move our bodies into shapes and positions that are deep and demanding. Over time we learn to calmly breath through the poses releasing and allowing rather than forcing our way through them. We sit with the sensations and watch the mind without reacting to every thought of "I can't." Over time we gain the strength and flexibility we need to face whatever life brings our way.
Asana practice also teaches us to find our equilibrium and balance. Standing poses require virya the Sanskrit word for strength and steadiness. Inversions teach us to let go of fear and preconceived notions of what we can do, trusting that we are safe even when our world is turned "literally" upside down. Excellent training for when life throws us a curve ball!
Meditation teaches us a different kind of courage, the courage to face our own thoughts and internal demons. Sitting in silence we learn to first see and then to accept our deepest fears, shortcomings and neurosis. As thoughts flow through our consciousness we are reminded that all is fleeting and so there is no need to attach to the "story" our minds make up around everything happening in the world around us.
As we sit we learn to see without judging, and in the seeing, we find the courage to surrender to what is.
It takes courage to show up in this life, courage to live a peaceful and loving life in a world that is often far from peaceful and loving. Yoga practice gives us the tools we need.

BERLIN: Police in Berlin on Sunday were investigating two separate assaults against young girls believed to have been motived by anti-migrant hatred.
Germany has been deeply polarized by Chancellor Angela Merkel's 2015 decision to open the country's borders to those fleeing conflict and persecution at the height of Europe's migrant crisis.
Since then, the influx of over a million asylum seekers — mainly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan — has fueled the rise of the far-right, anti-Islam AfD party. High-profile crimes involving migrants have sparked angry protests in recent years.

In the 1920s and early 1930, Erna Schmidt-Caroll portrays the seemingly carefree life in metropolitan Berlin. Her critical view and her artistic hand are comparable to the working methods of Jeanne Mammen, George Grosz and Otto Dix. From 1933 on, the artist concentrates upon the portrayal of landscapes.
Erna Schmidt-Caroll studies from 1914 to 1916 at the Breslau art academy. In 1917 she continues her education at the teaching institute of the Berlin museum of arts and crafts, where she finally is a master-class student of Emil Orlik. In the following years she works as a fashion designer and illustrator. From October 1922 on, she teaches at the renowned private Reimann-Schule in Berlin. In the years from 1929 to 1931, her works are represented at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition. From 1930 to 1933, Erna Schmidt-Caroll is a member of the Verein der Berliner Künstlerinnen and takes part their group exhibitions. When after the seizure of power by the National Socialists the Reimann-Schule is reopened under a new name, Erna Schmidt-Caroll is allowed to continue teaching here. In 1938 the artist has her first comprehensive exhibition at the Berlin Galerie Gurlitt. After the war, Erna Schmidt-Caroll works freelance in Landshut and Munich. From 1951 to 1962 she teaches again, at first at an art college in Hanover, later at the Hamburg master school of fashion. In 1963 she moves from Hamburg to Munich. Here, she unexpectedly is given back her works from the 1920s and 1930s, works that had been found in the basement of her Berlin studio, and she signs them retrospectively. In the 1990s and 2000s, works by the artist are to be found in numerous exhibitions in Germany.

Q: Marshaling / Demarshaling JSON with Java EE 7 / Glassfish 4.1 results in null object I upgraded to Java EE 7 from Java EE 6 and some of my REST services stopped working.  Narrowing it down, it appears this change seems to have come about when Jersey switched from Jackson to MOXy in Java EE 7.
My service looks like:
@Stateless
@Path("access")
public class AccessFacadeREST extends AbstractFacade<Access> {
    @PersistenceContext(unitName = "AccessServerPU")
    private EntityManager em;

    public AccessFacadeREST() {
        super(Access.class);
    }

    @POST
    @Consumes({"application/xml", "application/json"})
    @Produces({"application/xml", "application/json"})
    public ObjectResponse create(@Context HttpServletRequest requestContext,
                                 @Context SecurityContext context,
                                 ObjectRequest<Access> req) {
        req.setHostname(requestContext.getRemoteAddr());
        return AccessValidation.create(em, req);
    }
}

Here req is null and so generates a NullPointerException when it is presented using JSON.  It works fine when presented as XML.  ObjectRequest is a generic class I use to wrap the request with authentication content standard for several different types of requests.
I tested a similar @GET service to return an ObjectRequest<Access> instance filled with junk data.  It again works well when using XML, but returns null (with no exception raised) when I attempt to return JSON.
I found Java EE7 REST server no longer returning List as JSON  useful to understand the underlying problem, but didn't see how I could get this to work in my situation.  My ApplicationConfig class looks like:
@javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath("webresources")
public class ApplicationConfig extends Application {

    @Override
    public Set<Object> getSingletons() {
        Set<Object> set = new HashSet<>();
        log.info("Enabling custom Jackson JSON provider");
        set.add(new JacksonJsonProvider());
        return set;
    }

    @Override
    public Map<String, Object> getProperties() {
        Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
        log.info("Disabling MOXy JSON provider");
        map.put("jersey.config.disableMoxyJson.server", true);
        return map;
    }

    @Override
    public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
        Set<Class<?>> resources = new java.util.HashSet<>();
        addRestResourceClasses(resources);
        return resources;
    }

    private void addRestResourceClasses(Set<Class<?>> resources) {
        resources.add(AccessFacadeREST.class);
    }
}

I think I need to configure the ApplicationConfig class to use Jackson, but I don't see how to generalize the solutions I've found to cover my situation.  So, two questions really:

*

*Have I properly characterized the underlying problem as being some sort of deficiency with MOXy?

*How can I fix this using either MOXy or Jackson (I don't have a preference which, just as long as it works)?

Setup:

*

*Netbeans 8.0.2

*Glassfish 4.1

*JDK 8 / JRE 8U25 (64 bit)

Edit in response to the question below...
The project pom.xml has the following entry:
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-jaxrs-json-provider</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.4</version>
</dependency>

A: You should be able to solve this by disabling MOXy (register the class below in getClasses()) and get rid of your set.add(new JacksonJsonProvider()); singleton. I use this for all my GF4 projects to force Jersey to use Jackson.
/**
 * Feature to disable Moxy and Enable Jackson processing
 */
private static class Jackson2Feature implements Feature {

    @Override
    public boolean configure(FeatureContext context) {
        final String disableMoxy = PropertiesHelper.getPropertyNameForRuntime(
                CommonProperties.MOXY_JSON_FEATURE_DISABLE,
                context.getConfiguration().getRuntimeType());
        context.property(disableMoxy, true);

        // add the default Jackson exception mappers and allow jaxb annotations
        context.register(JsonParseExceptionMapper.class);
        context.register(JacksonJaxbJsonProvider.class, MessageBodyReader.class, MessageBodyWriter.class);
        return true;
    }
}

A new report from a leading daily has suggested that Apple might give up on its LCDs from its iPhones from 2020. If this news does not come as a surprise, the revelation comes as a Japan supplier struggles in the wake of disappointing iPhone XR sales. The news has come with courtesy of people who are familiar with the matter and surely makes sense as the prices of the display technology must drop so that it becomes more attainable for more people.
However, it has to be seen if Apple will be ready to give up on its budget take on its flagship. One thing is sure that the newly released iPhone XR did not get a reception as expected by the company. Despite a disappointment in terms of its sales, it has to be noted that the cheaper handset has been the most popular iPhone since it went on sale in October, 2019. But the fact that Apple is still struggling in terms of the handset sales, cannot be ignored.
Apple is surely trying its best while trying to move towards a higher end technology but it is just a part of its inevitable march progress. The company is still expected to release an LCD sporting successor to the XR later in 2019. While Apple is still struggling with its flagship regular smartphones, the year 2019 is going to be a year of foldable phones that are expected to be unveiled by other competitors in the market.
