Q: ALSA -- unknown soundcard oxygen So I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but I'm having some trouble with a Fedora 25 install (4.10.12-200.fc25.x86_64) where I want to get my Xonar DGX sound card working. I've pretty much been following the steps provided here, but I'm getting stuck at the following line trying to install the alsa-driver package:
./configure --with-cards=oxygen --with-sequencer=yes ; make ; make install
The problem is with the configure script. It eventually errors out with:
checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... configure: error: Unknown soundcard oxygen
Checking in at /proc/asound/cards I have the following entry first:
 0 [DGX            ]: CMI8786 - Xonar DGX
                  C-Media Oxygen HD Audio at 0xc000, irq 18

Which is the sound card. In addition, running the command:
lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"
returns the following output (truncating to last entry for convenience of reading)
...
05:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio]
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 8521
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 18
I/O ports at c000 [size=256]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: snd_oxygen
Kernel modules: snd_oxygen

I have tried things such as changing the with-cards argument to be snd_oxygen or snd-oxygen, and have spent hours at this point trying to figure out how to do this.
In fact, I have even tried skipping the driver portion of the install, since according to alsa project dot org (removed hyperlink to add image since I do not have reputation) the package is now obsolete. However this doesn't seem to be the right course of action, because I still am not getting sound.
One other note is that I can in fact see the device in alsamixer if I select it.
As I said, this is my first bare-metal Fedora install so I may be doing something simple wrong somehow, but at this point I don't know where else to turn. Any help in pointing me in the right direction is greatly appreciated, thank you very much for taking the time to read and help. I can also provide more information if it is necessary. Thank you.

EDIT: Providing screenshot of alsamixer screen when selecting the Xonar DGX Sound card. I notice that the two input channels are muted, but does that mean anything? Also what is S/PDIF? I can unmute it, but there are no numbers, unlike with Headphone. For reference, I have plugged in speakers directly to the soundcard. Any help that you can provide (pointing me in the right direction or anything) is hugely appreciated. Thanks so much.
alsamixer

A: The Xonar DG(X) has three different output configurations, which can be selected with the "Analog Output" mixer control.
You have to change it if you are not using headphones at the front panel connector.

A: 1) If your Xonar sound card already shows up in /proc/asound/cards, you don't need to compile a kernel driver for it - the drivers included in your kernel are already working out of the box.
2) If you are running Pulseaudio, it will automatically use all available ALSA cards, and prevent ALSA applications from using them directly (so don't try to specify hw:1,0 etc. in their configuration) To allow old ALSA applications to work with Pulseaudio, Pulseaudio includes an ALSA compatibility layer usually of ALSA device(s) called pulse that will connect all ALSA applications to Pulseaudio. So having this a the default is completely correct, no need to change it.
Pulseaudio will also manage most of your alsamixer settings, no need to change anything there unless for some reason things don't work.
3) To control Pulseaudio applications, start pavucontrol (some desktops have a subset of this somewhere in a "sound panel" or similar). If you start an application that uses Pulseaudio or ALSA to output sound, it will show up under "Playback", and you can select which card ("audio sink" in Pulseaudio terms) it should use. All sinks are listed under Output Devices. Some soundcard support different configurations with different combination of sources/sinks, select the one you want under "Configuration". pavucontrol includes a volume meter, so you should see activity.
If you can't get sound output to work with pavucontrol, please update your question with the output of pacmd list-sinks | grep name: and amixer -c0 contents (in a pastebin, if this is too long), assuming the the Xonar card is still card number 0.

Penn State vs Rutgers: 3 Nittany Lions to Watch
By Barry Leonard on November 29, 2019 at 10:30 am
Matthew O'Haren-USA TODAY Sports
Email this Article Share on Reddit Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
After 11 games, the regular season finale is already upon us. Penn State had a huge opportunity in front of it, but stumbled twice in the last three weeks at Minnesota and Ohio State. Still, the Nittany Lions enter this week with a chance to finish the regular season at 10-2 -- a fantastic accomplishment for a team led mainly by underclassmen.
This week's game against lowly Rutgers really isn't expected to be much of a contest. The Nittany Lions began the week as favorites by more than 40 points. Despite the fact that Penn State should be able to run away with this one, there are still players who will need to step up in order to ensure a victory.
Pat Freiermuth
Although Penn State fans won't want to hear it, this week could represent the last game at Beaver Stadium for Pat Freiermuth. The superstar tight end is eligible for the 2020 NFL Draft, and would likely be the first tight end off of the board.
If this is the last home game for Freiermuth, he'll definitely be one to watch for the Nittany Lions. He's second on the team this year in receptions (40), receiving yards (464), and receiving touchdowns (7).
Freiermuth is coming off a six-catch performance at Ohio State last week, and is easily the most consistent weapon in the Penn State passing attack. He's a matchup nightmare for almost any defender in the middle of the field and should be able to take advantage of the porous Rutgers pass defense.
Will Levis
When starting quarterback Sean Clifford was knocked out of the Ohio State game in the second half, Will Levis stepped in for his first real action with the Nittany Lions. He came in and played a strong game, nearly leading Penn State back from a 21-point deficit.
Levis didn't put up huge numbers, completing just 6-of-11 passes for 57 yards and a costly interception. However, his energy provided a spark for the offense, and he rushed for 34 yards and a touchdown.
With Clifford's status still up in the air for this week due to his injury, and the fact that Penn State should be up big in this one, Levis could see some added opportunities this week. Head coach James Franklin should get an opportunity to play a lot of different guys this week, so expect him to take a long look at Levis.
Lamont Wade
Lamont Wade is coming off easily the best performance of his Penn State career. He made plays all over the field last week at Ohio State and finished with 10 total tackles and a sack. He also forced three fumbles and recovered one.
Wade has been inconsistent throughout his time in Happy Valley, but last week's performance could be looked at as a breakout performance. Fortunately for the Nittany Lions, he saved it for the toughest offense they faced all year.
Wade won't have nearly as tough of a task this week trying to defend the Rutgers passing attack. Still, keep an eye on him to see if he can keep the momentum rolling this week.

Dec 21 2009 by Peter Vajda Print This Article
The holiday season is often difficult to navigate - both mentally, physically, and emotionally. The glitter and shine of gold, red and green often turns to blue. For many, this is a season of darkness, not light, a time to face the challenges of sadness, stress, loneliness and unfulfilled longings, - a time to "get through".
It doesn't have to be like that. Think about the way white-water rafters approach their task. Beginners watch for the craggy rocks, the problems to avoid, the risks to circumvent, usually ending their runs feeling emotionally and physically drained.
But the experts focus on the flow-line, where the currents safely guide them through the roughest areas with a minimum of mental and emotional stress, ending their runs on a high, with energy to spare.
So calling upon twenty-five years of coaching and counselling friends, colleagues, and clients through the white waters of the holiday season, I'd like to share some perspectives and strategies to support you to create a nurturing holiday experience resulting in peace in body, mind, and spirit.
Fall and winter are nature's time for hibernation,¬ being quiet and lying dormant. The tendency to live frenetically at this time of year, shopping, partying, and going at ninety miles an hour, is unnatural.
The physical stress alone can affect your immune system, resulting in energy depletion, lethargy, and illness. It's important to take time to relax and reduce stress, to maintain consistent harmony and balance. Some suggestions:
Your body monitors how you're doing. So, notice levels of tension and/or fatigue. With a cupped hand, lightly tap your arms and neck, and other areas to relieve stress and to increase energy flow and vitality. Is your breathing deep and relaxed, or shallow and quick? Remember always to breathe deeply, especially when facing stressful circumstances.
Nurture yourself. Take time for reflection and being alone. Go to a movie, take a hot, soothing bath, treat yourself to a massage, cuddle up and enjoy your favorite music, take a quiet walk. And breathe.
The holiday season is defined by social gatherings and often the focus of such gatherings is food. People often overeat during the holidays, and then experience guilt. The usual tips are to eat before you go to a social gathering to avoid starving when you get there, and socializing away from the food center of gravity. But there are others thing you can do, too.
Design a conscious eating strategy so you don't fall prey to unconscious patterns of medicating with food and drink. Savor the tastes, the pleasure of the aromas, flavors, and textures of seasonal treats. Don't beat yourself up or deny the pleasure.
Harmony and balance are the keys. Plan your daily intake of calories, so you have room to indulge and still experience well-being, rather than indulge and feel bad both physically and emotionally. And breathe.
Stress is a major excuse for eating. Reflect on what's stressing you and reflect on how you can reduce or eliminate stressors, over and above eating or drinking. And breathe.
Maintain a consistent exercise regimen to alleviate guilt about overindulging. Your body needs to move to feel well. So put on some music and dance, and shake out tensions and stresses so you don't become stuck in a holiday funk. And breathe.
During the holidays, our internal judge and critic bombard us with how we "should" act and behave. Listening to this onslaught of "I should" is enough to drive one to "Grinch-dom."
"I must get the right gift." "I should go to that party" "I must eat less." "I have to send a card." "I need to say what's on my mind." "I need to make this the best holiday ever." "I should exercise more." "I need to meet someone else's expectations of me." "I should be more joyful, sincere, outgoing, religious, appreciative, generous, peaceful, etc."
In family gatherings, you may feel a need to debate issues, feelings, or past memories. Instead, initiate a truce. Place resentments and grievances on the back burner. You can address them after the holidays with greater thoughtfulness and clarity when extra seasonal stresses won't affect you.
So, beware of the "shoulds". Rather than beat yourself up whenever your inner judge tugs on your sleeve, just allow yourself to witness the "should" ("Oh, my judge is giving me a hard time."). Then, breathe deeply a few times and move on.
Experiencing guilt indicates you're allowing your judge to grab you and hold you up to some imagined or impossible holiday ideal. And breathe.
The focus during the holidays, and all days, is being authentic, allowing your integrity to shine, to be yourself, and not struggle to meet either someone else's expectations or some "ideal" you have of yourself that is impossible to meet.
This is a good opportunity to practice the "Four L's" of well-being: lighten up on yourself, laugh at yourself, love yourself, and leave yourself alone. You can defend against your internal critic and judge by telling it to back off, using whatever silent or oral language works for you.
You may overeat to "take care of" and nurture yourself, perhaps to find sweetness from food where you cannot find sweetness elsewhere, perhaps to distract yourself from boring people or events. So, be aware of "what's eating you" and reflect on whether food or drink are the only alternatives. And, of course, breathe.
No one consciously wakes up and says: "I'm going to be a jerk today." The opposite is normally true ¬ almost everyone is trying to do their best and, in their own mind, operates from positive intention.
SOME QUESTIONS FOR SELF-REFLECTION
Do you find yourself getting sick during the holidays? (Note: the main reason we get sick is because of a weak immune system. Another major factor is the stress of dealing with our families.)
What stresses you during the holidays?
Are you attached to how folks react to the gifts you give them? If so, why?
Do you tend to overeat or over-do during the holidays? If so, do you ever consider if you overeat or over-engage in too much activity to fill some type of emotional hole?
Are you really, really happy during the holidays? How can you tell?
Do you take time for, and care of, yourself during the holidays? If not, why not?
What are you doing differently this year to reduce stress during the holidays?
Who's driving your holiday activities? You, your friends, your family, others? If it's not you, why not? How do you feel about having others dictate how you spend your holiday time?
What were the holidays like for you when you were growing up?
So, when it's easy to become stressed and react to what we perceive as others' rudeness, insensitivity, or stupidity, don't take things personally. Use these opportunities for your spirit to come through, be accepting of others, and look for the noble humanity in others. For example:
When a shopper inadvertently bumps into you or cuts in line
When a driver cuts you up
When someone inadvertently says something you take to be critical or demeaning
When a family member brings up an embarrassing or unpleasant past event in your life
When a retail/service person doesn't meet your expectations for quality service
When someone forgets to thank you for your gift
When your family doesn't decorate the house, or prepare food, exactly as you would
When the priest, minister or rabbi offers a sermon you feel you could have given better
Use these opportunities to be appreciative and grateful for all you have, rather than react negatively, to come from your heart, not your mind, to focus on what you love and what truly gives meaning to your life, and on what this season means to you, whether it's family, community, or religion.
Stressful events present opportunities to be bold and brave, allowing your light and joy to shine, no matter what anyone else is doing. Wherever you are, wherever you go, know that you are a blessing! And breathe!
If - in doing your best to take care of yourself - you feel overwhelmed, ask for help. Speak with a counselor, a coach, or minister. Folks in the helping professions are aware of, and sympathetic to, the pain which people experience at this time. Yes, "this too shall pass," but if you find yourself swept up in the blues, it will pass more quickly if you seek support.
So, gift yourself and use this time to practice following your own "flow line" as you navigate the "white waters" of this holiday season.

How to Deal With the Narcissist at Work
The term "narcissism" is often misused, but if you've got a bona fide narcissist at work you may face constant obstacles as those with this personality disorder can be annoying – and break down an organization's efficiency and productivity.
When you think of narcissists, names like Kim Kardashian and Lance Armstrong may come to mind with their constant focus on themselves and need for admiration.
But that's the celebrity world, and it's not so common for the average person to have such an inflated sense of self-importance (since most of us get that knocked out of us in our 20s).
Despite that, narcissism is a term that gets thrown around a lot, especially when you're dealing with an annoying personality at work. But is that jerk at work really a narcissist?
The Mayo Clinic defines narcissism as a mental disorder "in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration." Those with the disorder believe that "they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings," the clinic states. "But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism."
Susan Krauss Whitbourne, a professor of psychology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, says that narcissists often can be difficult to work with as their sense of entitlement, lack of empathy and focus on ""me, me, me" can impede work getting done.
One of the biggest problems is that narcissists often are very bright, and may cover their darker tendencies under the guise of having career ambition. They can turn on the charm when needed, and often are described as charismatic. They are driven – but can also be manipulative and self-centered and can seriously impact a team's efficiency and productivity.
For example, say a sales meeting is called to discuss the upcoming quarter. But as the boss tries to get input from everyone, the narcissist constantly interrupts to talk about himself and his successes. Later, when there are informal gatherings of the sales staff to discuss strategies, the narcissist constantly interrupts to again direct the conversation to an area he or she wants to discuss.
"These people are always trying to shine the light on themselves. They always want the glory," Whitbourne explains. "They like to derail things. They constantly have to be attended to. They can be very aggravating."
So, the result is that a sales team may miss its projections because they can't do effective planning with the narcissist's interruptions, or may be so irked by the behavior they find it hard to concentrate and do their jobs.
The bottom line is that narcissists can really throw a wrench in the works when it comes to others doing their jobs effectively, Whitbourne says.
But, there are strategies to help you cope better with the narcissist at work. Whitbourne suggests:
Becoming educated. Before you label someone as a narcissist, take some time to really observe the behavior. "Vulnerable" narcissists may actually have low self-esteem while "grandiose" narcissists are more low-key with their emotions so may undercut you more subtly. In work teams, the grandiose narcissist might be a strong ally as long as you can get the person to buy into your team's goals.
Pinpointing your aggravation. Once you begin studying the narcissist, you may see that what bugs you the most is the person constantly interrupting you and demanding attention. But once you see that, you can learn to soothe the narcissist's insecurities, which helps redirect him or her away from bothering you.
Be flexible. Just as you have your own insecurities, so does a narcissist. That means you need to recognize particular triggers for that person – such as losing out on a promotion that can trigger insecurities – and then respond accordingly. For example, you may need to simply ignore spiteful behavior because you know it comes from a place of insecurity and unhappiness.
Finally, try to stay positive and even laugh at outrageous narcissistic behavior sometimes, Whitbourne says.
"Narcissists," she says, "are not easily wounded."

In education, money counts: NH's top schools often have the lowest amounts of poverty – Nashua Telegraph
Follow ANHPE with periodic email
This piece is interesting. Danielle Curtis, the Telegraph's education reporter, made the headlined observation, that our top ranked schools are in our wealthiest communities, as she was scanning the US News and Newsweek rankings. She called me and others to talk it over and you can see the well crafted and accurate result here, on the Telegraph site. This is a large and complex topic but she found a good thread through the issue.
Money isn't everything.
It's a phrase that applies to many situations in life, whether it's a parent explaining why they won't be buying those brand-name jeans, or a mentor encouraging a new worker to take that entry-level job they'd love.
But when it comes to education, does the saying hold true?
It's a question that has been tossed around for years, by lawmakers trying to create a balanced budget and by educators lobbying for more funding for schools.
Take a look at the annual rankings of the nation's top high schools, and other similar awards, and you'll see that money is, at least, important.
"When you're in a budget debate, the first statement is always, 'Schools don't get better by throwing money at them,' " said Bill Duncan, of Advancing New Hampshire Public Education. "But they do, actually, they really do."
Duncan said that while money is by no means the only factor that plays into a school's success, the financial support a district receives from its taxpayers and the socioeconomic situation of a school's students factor into the test scores they see, the number of college-bound students they graduate and resources they can use to aid struggling students.
A look at the U.S. News and World Report and Newsweek rankings of the nation's best high schools supports this idea.
Newsweek named Hollis Brookline High School the best in the state this year, an honor the school has seen for several of the last 10 years. At No. 3 was Souhegan High School in Amherst, coming in behind Durham's Oyster River High School.
Not far behind, was Bedford High School, which came in sixth. The school also was named the Secondary School of Excellence by the New Hampshire Excellence in Education Awards Program last week.
These schools all have strong standardized test scores, rigorous curriculum, high graduation rates and experienced teaching staffs.
But these high school also have something else in common: very few students that qualify for free and reduced school lunch, a common poverty indicator.
All three of the area schools are in districts with about 5 percent of students qualifying for free or reduced school lunch.
The numbers are low, especially when compared to other local school districts. Nashua, for example, has 41 percent of its students qualifying for a lower-priced lunch, while Merrimack and Hudson have 12 and 16 percent, respectively.
Duncan said that many times, students from low-income families simply do not have the same educational backgrounds as other students upon entering school.
Low-income families also often are led by parents working long hours or more than one job, who may not be home to help with homework or who can't afford to hire tutors.
All of this, Duncan said, plays a role in a student's ability to succeed, and a school's ability to teach them.
"We do a good job in this state, in this nation, of educating well-off kids," he said. "It's the low-income kids and, to some extent, the middle-income kids, who are left behind."
Nashua Superintendent Mark Conrad has seen the impact that poverty can have on students' learning. Students from low-income households, he said, often have more outside stress in their lives, whether its a lack of food at home, a lack of shelter or frequent moves.
They're more likely to have parents without a formal education, too, or who may not speak English. Those students often do less reading at home and over the summer, creating an academic gap that can grow from year to year.
And while Conrad said it's clear that any student can learn, and that schools should hold all students to high standards, overcoming the impacts of poverty is not easy.
"Poverty does have an impact," he said. "And we've got to be able to talk about the fact that poverty makes learning more difficult without using it as an excuse."
The leaders of the state's so-named top schools don't necessarily disagree, but said it's important to remember that money is not the only factor in a school's, or a student's, success.
"There is no question that economics plays a role in the experiences that students bring to the classroom," said Bedford Principal William Hagen. "Those students whose families are well-off typically have more life experiences that they can relate to. That certainly plays a role."
Students from higher-income families also may have high expectations about going to college, Hagen said.
But, he said he believes Bedford High School's strengths are its ability to work with all learners, of varying backgrounds, and to work well with a community that supports its schools, financially and in other ways.
"Our expectation for all students is the same," he said. "Regardless of where they come from, they rise to their best level here. I believe that has a lot to do with what your staff has to bring to the table.
"I think if you've got a student working with a good teacher every day, economics plays less of a role in their success."
You do see this played out every day in New Hampshire's Title I schools, the schools with a high proportion of low income children. Largely outside public view, teachers work very hard to overcome the challenges kids face when they start off behind. If the haven't had the benefit of preschool, they may not only in their understanding of words and numbers but also of how to be in a classroom with lots of other kids. Principal Hagen's point is particularly true when in schools like Bedford, where you have great teaching and a relatively small number of low income kids who get pulled along in the flow and can get extra attention they need. Bedford middle and high schools, for instance, have special study rooms staffed to provide assistance in math and English for anyone who walks in at any time of the day.
Hollis Brookline High School Principal Cindy Matte said support from the community is key to a successful school.
"We've got supportive parents that really care about education and are involved in their children's education," she said. "We've got kids that really want to learn and want to do well. Both communities are very committed to education."
So what does this discussion mean for education?
Do the numbers show the state should spend more on education, or that schools with a high percentage of low-income students shouldn't expect to see themselves at the top of a "best school" ranking?
For Duncan, these are hard questions to answer. In the end, he said, it comes down to using money wisely to best serve students.
For one, having a high percentage of low-income students is not an indication of a school's ability to succeed. Strong educational leadership and teaching can overcome many of the obstacles put in the way of a poor child, he said, and there are examples across the state of low-income schools doing great things for their students and seeing that success in testing scores.
But those schools also receive vital federal Title I funding to help provide extra resources to students in need, Duncan said, about $75 million is distributed across the state each year.
"We can't be apologizing for stating the obvious, money counts," he said. "But bad leadership can waste money, the same as it can in any field. And good leadership can take a school further on whatever the fiscal limits are."

and as far as i understand pple who enlist in the army arent pushed into it by some external force or neither are most of them doing it becoz they are patriotic, its usually the poor, who do so. this isnt restricted to an all india phenomena, this si prevalent in the US too.
don't eulogize the military. it is a stupid, self-indulgent and self-serving act. more seriously, it is very misleading. distracting attention both from the horrors of war as well as the plight of the poor souls who do our dirty work for us.

Christians are being persecuted more than ever before in Egypt.
The systematic persecution of christians is widening and living as a Christian in Egypt is becoming harder than ever before. The government has very authoritarian views on Christianity, even though Egypt is supposedly a country that has religious freedom but the reality is far from it. Christians are excluded members of society facing constant discrimination in daily life it has been pointed out that Christians are barred from holdings jobs and positions in Egyptian public institutions or prominent private academies. Christians have a hard time finding a job, and many of those that live in rural areas travel to the north of Egypt for work.
The government requires all churches to register, this started in 2016 when a law was passed by the government. This requirement was thought to help Christian communities build new churches but the reality is that such applications takes a very long time and faces systematic discrimination from authorities and only few churches has been build and in rural areas the threat is that applications are denied immediately upon submission due to religious discrimination. In cases where the application has been approved for a new church, Christians face other challenges such as civil objection and threats from the public. In 2018, the U.S. State Department reported that "a group of Muslim villagers hurled stones and bricks, breaking the windows of a building used as a church.
The government requires all citizens religious affiliation to be listed on their ID card. The fact that a person's religion is listed on their id means that it is part of their identity and when presenting the id card the person could be subject to discrimination based on what their id states even when the information is no longer correct. The reason for this requirement is so that authorities can then dictate what Islamic laws can be applied to the person on marriage, inheritance or divorce. If someone converts from Islam to Christianity, it is difficult to reflect that change in religious designation on an ID card. According to Open Doors USA's World Watch Research, if a married couple converts from Islam to Christianity, by law their marriage is declared void and their children illegitimate. "The law states individuals may change their religion," says a report on Egypt by the U.S. State Department. "However, the government recognizes conversion to Islam, but generally not from Islam to any other religion."
The threat to Christians from extremists is on the rise, including attacks on weekly basis and there are increasing numbers of terrorist attacks. The presence of Islamic extremists in Egypt has increased dramatically since the rise of ISIS in 2014. Extremist groups operate within both rural villages, particularly in Upper Egypt, and in large cities, like Alexandria. In villages, Islamic extremism has inspired local violence against Christians from kidnappings, to church vandalism, to violent mobs and coordinated attacks. In the cities, churches have been struck by shootings and suicide bombers, often in the middle of services. ISIS and Salafist jihadists have explicitly targeted Christians. In a video claiming responsibility for a suicide bombing, ISIS labeled Christians in Egypt 'our first target and favourite prey.' Violent attacks are not limited to rural areas alone. During Palm Sunday services in 2017 when two Coptic Orthodox churches were hit by suicide bombers. At St. George's Church in Tanta, the bombing killed 27 people and injured 78. At St. Mark's Cathedral in Alexandria, the second bomb killed 17 people and injured 48 more. Coptic Orthodox Pope Tawadros II was in St. Mark's cathedral at the time of the bombing and was unhurt. ISIS claimed the St. Mark's bombing was an assassination attempt on Pope Tawadros II. This was not the first threat against his life by Islamic extremists.

Net Impact Releases Research on Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Management Integration in Undergraduate Business Education
Submitted by: Net Impact
Categories: Research, Reports & Publications, Corporate Social Responsibility
Posted: Sep 06, 2007 – 06:30 PM EST
Study Reveals Differences in Graduate and Undergraduate Perspectives
Sep. 06 /CSRwire/ - SAN FRANCISCO, CA (September 6, 2007) - Following up on research of MBA and graduate students regarding corporate social responsibility and sustainable management practices, Net Impact today released "New Leaders, New Perspectives II: A Net Impact Survey of Undergraduate opinions on the Relationship Between Business and Social/Environmental Issues."
The responses of 2,418 students in 53 undergraduate programs in the U.S. and Canada revealed over 70% believed corporate social responsibility is a topic that should be integrated into required courses in college business and management programs.
"The results of this sample provide exciting insights regarding over a million current business students in the U.S.," noted Liz Maw, Executive Director of Net Impact, an international nonprofit (NGO) with over 10,000 network members dedicated to leveraging business for socially responsible action. "The level of passion and conviction among undergraduate students is palpable, and we hope Net Impact's research helps colleges, universities and potential employers appreciate the values of these students."
Net Impact conducted a similar study in October 2006 among 2,112 graduate students at 87 institutions including 37% who identified themselves as members of Net Impact. Both studies focused on curriculum, career, and business and social responsibility. Net Impact's membership and programs are focused on current MBA students and business professionals with two or more years of experience, and the undergraduate responses highlighted the need for similar services for this larger population. "The results were so compelling that we launched a pilot program, Net Impact Undergrad, that will help us develop programs and services that meet the unique needs of undergraduate students," Maw added.
With regard to curriculum, over half of the respondents said they would like to learn more about corporate social responsibility, environmental sustainability, social entrepreneurship, renewable energy and international development. "These are topics that have been of interest for the 15 years that Net Impact has worked with business schools, yet the students do not feel these topics are represented adequately in undergraduate curricula," added Maw. "In fact, 74% of the respondents stated that universities and colleges should place more emphasis on training socially and environmentally responsible individuals than they currently do."
In addition to the potential impact on undergraduate curriculum, undergraduate students also expressed similar hopes for potential employers. "Students demonstrated their values by indicating a desire to land the right job rather than any job upon graduation,"added Alejandra Villalobos, the Net Impact analyst that coordinated the research and aggregated the results. "77% indicated they would seek employment that is socially responsible during their career, while 60% said they will seek such work immediately after graduating from college."
An overwhelming number of students, 84%, believe that corporations should work toward the betterment of society, while only 19% think most corporations are currently pursuing that goal. Additionally, 87% believe business professionals should consider social and environmental impacts when making business decisions and 82% believe the for-profit sector should play a role in addressing social and environmental issues.
"This demonstrates that undergraduates have high expectations for social responsibility to be included in their education, and expect these principles to remain a priority as they become the next generation of business leaders," said Kellie McElhaney, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Center for Responsible Business at the University of California Berkeley's Haas School of Business. "These are principles that require a fair level of sophistication to appreciate the advantages of implementing synergistic practices that are both good for society and good for your company. The responses support the premise that corporate social responsibility is reaching critical mass at all levels."
The study provides insights that are valuable to faculty and administrators responsible for developing and delivering courses that meet the expectations of undergraduate business students. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, over 307,000 of the 1.4 million undergraduate degrees awarded in 2003-2004, were in the field of business.
In addition, the Net Impact study indicates that corporations that intend to attract the best candidates need to demonstrate their commitment to social and environmental responsibility. As one participant summarized, "I think that businesses have to consider the triple bottom line. Their concern should be people, planet, and profit. Because society allows it to exist, businesses should consider all stakeholders."
As the study demonstrates, there is demand for tools and services to support business as a means for social change among undergraduate students who want their work to have greater meaning. Maw explains, "To meet this demand, Net Impact is launching a pilot undergraduate program at select colleges and universities across the United States and Canada. The overall goals of the chapters will be to educate and inspire undergraduates around themes of corporate social responsibility, social entrepreneurship, green business, and other topics related to how business can be used to make a positive impact on the world."
Results of the study are available on the Net Impact Web site, www.netimpact.org/publications.

Looks like the re paint outside is complete. Wonder if the rumours about a roller rink opening in September will come to anything, not much sign of other activity or practicalities in place. On the plus side, the building is probably looking the best (outside) that it has since the day it closed!
Previous Previous post: Stretford Essoldo / Longford Cinema to re-open in September as skating rink?
Any news on the restoration of the cinema? I am looking for interesting places to get married and this would be a great venue!
It would make a great wedding venue if all the facilities were in place. It looks very quiet at present so I doubt it. I think the Palace Theatre in Manchester have a wedding licence and they've just had a big refurb.

Judge Moves Trial Of Santa Fe High School Shooting Suspect Out Of Galveston County
Lawyers for Dimitrios Pagourtzis had argued his client should receive the same treatment as others accused of mass murder.
| Posted on February 27, 2019, 3:53 PM (Last Updated: February 27, 2019, 4:53 PM )
Dimitrios Pagourtzis, the Santa Fe High School student accused of killing 10 people in a May 18, 2018 shooting at the high school, is escorted by Galveston County Sheriff's Office deputies into the jury assembly room for a change of venue hearing at the Galveston County Courthouse on Monday, Feb. 25, 2019.
The judge overseeing the upcoming trial of the alleged Santa Fe High School shooter decided on Wednesday the trial will be moved out of Galveston County.
Judge John Ellisor, who presides over the 122nd District Court in Galveston County, granted a change of venue motion filed by the attorneys for Dimitrios Pagourtzis.
Nicholas Poehl, one of Pagourtzis' lawyers, said this week his client should receive the same treatment as others accused of mass murder. He cited Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and serial killer Ted Bundy, who received changes of venue.
Poehl talked about a proximity factor during a press conference held after his client's court appearance, as reported by FOX 26 Houston. "How you feel about a case is impacted by your proximity to it and your relationship to it, so I think people in Galveston feel a certain way about this case, whereas people in Dallas or Austin or such, who weren't right there, would feel differently," Poehl said.
Prosecutors argued that a fair trial could be held locally, in Galveston County, and they could assemble an impartial jury. They said many details about the attack have not been released.
Pagourtzis, 18, is accused of opening fire at the Santa Fe High School on May 18, 2018, killing 10 people and wounding 13 others. He has been charged with capital murder and aggravated assault of a public servant.
Santa Fe is located about 40 miles southeast of Houston.
An official from Judge Ellisor's court said the new location for the trial hasn't been designated yet.
Because he was 17 at the time of the shooting, if convicted, Pagourtzis would be eligible for a sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years.

On the night of August 3rd, an outdoor installation of 18 photos by Gerda Taro in Leipzig, Germany, was vandalized, painted over with tar? Or aniline black dye? The photos were part of f/stop Leipzig, an annual photography festival, held in early July. Some of the public space components of the festival apparently continued beyond that date.
f/stop curators Anne König and Jan Wenzel included Taro, a pioneering war photographer, because of the confluence of her life, her work, and the city itself. She lived in Leipzig until 1933, when she fled as a Jewish refugee. She met up with another refugee, Robert Capa, in Paris, and they documented the Spanish Civil War together until Taro was killed in 1937. Leipzig is hosting many refugees from the Syrian war right now.
The curators note that effacing the images of refugees by a Jewish photographer with tar is inherently a political act, and they are calling on the city to discuss the implications. The Taro estate, in the form of the International Center for Photography, wants her images back on view in Leipzig.
I agree with all of that, but also wish to recognize the damning bluntness of the blacked out panels. Sometimes redactions and monochromes cannot be let off the hook. Declaring them an artwork of my own is no way of assuring anything, but It feels important that they will be preserved.
The 21 panels include three texts and at least five layouts from LIFE magazine. The bottom eleven were completely blacked out, while the tops of the five tallest appear to have been beyond the easy reach of the unknown redacter. In the event this work does get destroyed, I will try to identify the Taro images under the tar.
update: I'm still thinking this one through a bit.

Q: Preserve checkbox state on Rails form validation error I'm having a checkbox which is only used to display an optional input field with JS. When submitting the form, but the value of this field fails validation, it displays the error message but not the field (because of the reload). So I would need to click the checkbox again, to actually show the field. Is there any way how I can preserve the checkbox checked after submitting the form and failing.
Thanks

A: Of course implementation can be different from how you implement the form, but general solution is to pass conditions to the checkbox checked attribute

I recommend these books on creativity, innovation, design, and entrepreneurship, to inspire and motivate you. Click on the links to buy these books on Amazon.
Authors Jeff Dyer, Hal Gregersen, and innovation guru Clayton M. Christensen, conducted extensive interviews with over 5,000 inventors, game-changing innovators, and executives, including Apple's Steve Jobs, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, eBay's Pierre Omidyar, and P&G's A.G. Lafley.
They found that specific patterns of behavior emerged over and over: one's ability to generate innovative ideas is not merely a function of the mind, but also a function of behaviors.
The Innovators DNA presents a fresh new perspective, by positioning these attributes as behaviors, or habits you can develop, rather than traits you were born with. I like the emphasis the authors place on behaviours because it shifts our perceptions from thinking, to, well, behaving. How hard can it be?
The book shows how to remove obstacles to progress, and explains how to activate two forces that enable progress: (1) catalysts—events that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomy—and (2) nourishers—interpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality.
The authors say "Innerwork life is marked by joy, deep engagement in the work, and a drive for creativity." Music to my ears! This to me is what makes work a work of art.
This book provides an easy-to-follow framework, and some fresh thinking about organizational creativity, useful to anyone who needs to manage the creative process beyond brainstorming. I particularly like the chapter on preparing "The Creativity Brief" which has some great discovery questions to help managers and teams define the creativity challenge.
Each chapter covers the principles of a skill-set, such as breaking through assumptions that block progress, and how to master the skill. This book could easily be called the 7 Habits of Successful Innovators.
The authors have designed an excellent resource for design thinking, that functions as both a manual and a how-to tool kit for the entire creative process, from conception to implementation. They break down the design process into four questions: What if? What else? What wows? and What works? Within this framework, they provide ten tools which include specific guidelines for each step of the process, from assessing current reality through the customer's eyes, assessing the current value chain that supports the customer's journey, through to concept development, assumption testing, rapid prototyping, enrolling customers in co-creation, through to launching the innovation.
Cameron Herold is the former Chief Operating Officer of 1-800-GOT-JUNK?. I heard him speak in Vancouver recently and he has amazing stories to tell about how the company leveraged PR to grow their business, and their brand.
He has the street cred for growing businesses, so I guess he can be forgiven for his gimmicky title. For the entrepreneurial minded, this book is worth reading. Each topic the author covers — from creating a vision for the company's future to learning how to generate free PR for a developing company — is squarely focused on the end goal: doubling the size of the entrepreneur's company in three years or less.

LG ready to release a smartphone running Windows Phone 8.1
Share this.......
Windows Phone is slowly gaining popularity with more manufacturers announcing their power from the mobile operating system from Microsoft devices.
Recently, several small manufacturers like Micromax, Lava, and more, have announced their Windows Phone devices, but they are not alone. In February, at the Mobile World Congress, Microsoft announced that LG would be on the front of the stage as partner manufacturers of Windows Phone, and after several years during which the South Korean company does no release of smartphones powered by the Microsoft OS. ut a new rumor suggests that LG could make a comeback in the arena of Windows Phone with its own smartphone soon.
The LG device come with a 5-inch display sporting a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and will be powered by the latest Windows Phone 8.1 as the operating system. This might be a Windows Phone to mid-range device, but nothing is confirmed at this stage.
And well, that's all we have for the LG D635 at the moment, but if there is, more details will follow in the coming months. Anyway, it's pretty clear that this is supposed to be a midrange smartphone (so probably affordable).
We would inform you if something new about this mysterious LG device powered by Windows Phone 8.1 loomed on the canvas.

Graceland - educating the total man
Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
The earliest roots of science can be traced to Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia in around 3500 to 3000 BCE.Their contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and medicine entered and shaped Greek natural philosophy of classical antiquity, whereby formal attempts were made to explain events of the physical world based on natural causes. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, knowledge of Greek conceptions of the world deteriorated in Western Europe during the early centuries (400 to 1000 CE) of the Middle Ages but was preserved in the Muslim world during the Islamic Golden Age. The recovery and assimilation of Greek works and Islamic inquiries into Western Europe from the 10th to 13th century revived natural philosophy, which was later transformed by the Scientific Revolution that began in the 16th century as new ideas and discoveries departed from previous Greek conceptions and traditions. The scientific method soon played a greater role in knowledge creation and it was not until the 19th century that many of the institutional and professional features of science began to take shape.

I was recently asked to create a set of Christmas invitations. My normal process is to create a couple of samples for choosing purposes; this card came in as the runner up. I love the simplicity of this Ornamental Pine set! However, even as I say that these six stamps are so very versatile! I've seen so many beautiful cards created with this set and each one is unique - a definite addition to the "must have" list in my books!
The first step in creating a card like this is to remember to always work from the background to the foreground. Cut a standard size card piece of Whisper White Card stock and round the corners with the corner punch. Tear a post it note and place near the bottom of the card stock (this will create your first/top snowbank). Sponge a small amount of Marina Mist just above the post it, then follow with a small amount of Night of Navy, blending well.
Move the post it down, changing the angle slightly so the snowbanks won't look the same. Follow the same process of sponging, this time with Marina Mist and Lost Lagoon but be sure to NOT sponge all the way to the edge of the first snowbank (you want some white space left). Move the post it again and create the third snowbank the same way as the second.
Sponge Night of Navy in the upper left corner and blend the color across the top of the card as well as down the left side. Stamp the pine boughs in Always Artichoke; once in the center then one to both the left and upper right of the central bough. Stamp three pine cones into the center of the main bough with Early Espresso ink. Highlight the open areas with a White Chalk marker and as a finishing touch add a small amount of Dazzling Diamonds throughout the bough and pine cones for a little sparkle. Add a sentiment from the Endless Wishes set to the bottom of the card and your all done!
I hope this quick step by step was helpful! I'll be back at the end of the week with another post so be sure to check back, or click on the subscribe button to have any updates automatically emailed to you.
This card is beautiful. I love this set and have made several samples with it. Wish I could find my chalk marker. Will be casing this for sure!
Your work is beautiful; I look forward to reading your posts; TFS!
So beautiful! A stunning card.
What a beautiful card. The pinecones look so realistic. Thanks for the instructions and thanks for sharing.

I had a nice conversation with our priest last weekend. Father 'Irish' (a pseudonym), has extensive experience with exorcisms and demonic possession. Our group is more 'Grandma's Ghost' meets The History Channel than Demons & Devils. Father Irish is called in when we feel we are in over our heads. He is also called for spiritual guidance and because he is a friend and delights in our stories. Or we just get lucky and schedules coordinate.
We had just returned from an overnight investigation of The Haunted Washoe Club. Like any good Irish-Catholic Priest he asked "How is your relationship with God?" I smiled and honestly replied, "we've never been closer". I can't remember the last time I stood in a circle with my friends and family at an event and held hands in prayer. I edit video's for time constraints and wanting to get to the good stuff, pull the prayer out first.
We may not mention it in blog posts or videos, but every session whether Portal, Ouija (controversial,I know), GhostArk or just quiet meditation begins and ends with prayer. We ask for God's protection and guidance in communication. The type of prayer depends on where we are, who we are with, and what we are experiencing. We have a few prayers that we say routinely and I'll share them with you here as I come across them. They are tucked into my equipment, my bible and in my phone. Little paper prayers for every occasion.
I believe spirit communication is a gift that every person has. You take an interest in it. Then practice it and become better at it. Like cooking or painting. I believe it is a gift from God. A peek into the next life. Most of our experiences are positive, up-lifting and healing. Suspend your disbelief. Quiet the voice in your head that says "You're just tired", "You're grieving" or "You have an overactive imagination". Ask for God's Protection. Ask for his guidance. Then, clear your mind and listen.
I'll add my little paper prayers as I come across them. We can start with my favorite.
Prayer to Archangel Michael – Call on Michael in emergencies. Michael is powerful. He is a warrior angel. The angel of fire. You cannot mistake his presence. He is said to be the only angel mentioned in The Bible, The Torah and The Qur'an.
Rite of Exorcism – Read this to understand the process. Truly a prayer for professionals.

Wave-particle duality is the thought that a quantum object can behave as a wave, but that the wave behaviour disappears in the event that you attempt to find the object. It is also feasible to use entangled photons to boost the resolution of imaging practices. A wave function may also describe a system of several particles.
In some instances, the end result is a cheaper, more compact portable device created for a particular usage, or a more potent laser used to create power, for example. When particles are entangled they share properties in a sense which makes them dependent online essay on one another, even if they're separated by large distances. The interference that produces colored bands on bubbles can't be explained by means of a model that depicts light for a particle.
Asking questions regarding the underlying character of reality assumes that an authentic reality conforms to certain rules that fit our intuition, while the specific opposite may prove to be true. Most men and women fret about the shortage of money. It's therefore critical to come up with exceptional methods for attacking more realistic issues.
The bottom line with having any particular type of diet is merely that it's being used to accomplish something. Lots of people are already conscious of it and it is going to just be a matter of time before all are aware. A good example may be gossip.
