Ninety three percent of all posts reported as hate speech on Facebook in India are not removed and half of those posts initially removed are later restored, a new research report has found, signaling possible loopholes in content moderation.
The report, 'Facebook India: Towards The Tipping Point of Violence Caste and Religious Hate Speech', published by US-based Equality Labs, is based on four months of monitoring Facebook posts in India by a team of 20 researchers in four languages — English, Hindi, Tamil and Kannada.
The report based its analysis on what Facebook described as Tier 1 hate speech – violent, dehumanising and mocking speech on race, ethnicity, caste, gender, national origin, sex, religious identity and disability, among others.
Such content is liable for immediate removal from the platform.
"The report is a beginning of a necessary conversation to allow more Indians more insight into how Facebook works, how so much hate speech has become normalised, and the categories of hate speech that are now common place," said Thenmozhi Soundararajan, executive director of Equality Labs.
The report provided sub-categorisation of hate speeches. For example, it found 1/4th of gender/sexuality hate speech was anti LGBT, and half of these called for rape and other forms of sexual violence.
Forty percent of caste-based hate speech attacked caste-based reservations while the rest comprised of caste slurs, anti-Ambedkar messages, among others.
India is Facebook's largest market with almost 300 million users, and the company has come under fire in recent years for hate and divisive speech on its platform.
In March, in the run-up to the general election, a parliamentary panel on information technology asked the social media giant to ensure that its platform and those of its photo-sharing site Instagram and messaging app WhatsApp were not misused to create divisions or incite violence.
But the report suggests that content moderation needs to be more robust, by developing India-specific community standards, making hate speech and other guidelines available in all Indian languages and augmenting cultural competency of Facebook staff on matters such as caste.
"It is absolutely negligent that Facebook does not have a specific means for reporting casteist hate speech," Thenmozhi Soundararajan, executive director of Equality Labs, added.
Facebook said it uses technology and reports to identify and remove hate speech and fake news, and that it has introduced caste as a protected characteristics, alongside race, gender etc. "In India, we have long-standing investments in people, technology and partnerships to help us better detect bad content and enforce our policies across multiple languages," said a Facebook spokesperson in an emailed response.
The number of people working on safety and security issues is at 30,000 worldwide, the statement said, adding more than 15000 of whom are dedicated content reviewers. "We made significant investments during elections to detect and remove fake news from our platform, including increasing our local language capabilities for content reviewers, policies to address the spread of misinformation leading to offline harm and partnerships with third-party fact-checkers," added the spokesperson.

Q: Does post-meta belong in header? The template I used as a start for my own design places the metadata inside the header tag of the single-post.php. Is that a correct use of header, or should there only be h-tags in there? What about the post image? Could that be part of the header?

A: The w3 specification says that only h-tags are allowed inside of the hgroup-tag. The basic purpose of it is to group a main-headline and a sub-headline together.
<hgroup>

My maintitle

Subtitle of my content

</hgroup>

edit html5 also adds the header-tag to use within the body. Inside of this any other html element is allowed. You just shouldn't confuse it with the head tag. :-)

Home > Research > AIDS and Society Research Unit > Publications > Publications All > Pub home > Quantifying Taste: Findings from a survey on media and taste among teenagers from six high schools in Cape Town
Working paper number: 250
Author: Schenk, Jan
Unit: SSU
Recent studies suggest that young South Africans increasingly use references to popular culture, such as music and fashion, in making racial distinctions. This leads to a reinterpretation of race categories but not to the demise of the importance of race in the way adolescents see themselves and others. It is argued in this paper that the link between race and popular culture is creating and maintaining racialised taste patterns, which in turn causes adolescents to develop racialised media preferences. In other words someone's race, in terms of self-definition, is not only a strong predictor for someone's taste in popular culture (in this paper exemplified by music taste) and media preference (here restricted to radio, television and music television) but also one can find a strong relationship between certain music tastes and media preferences. This argument is supported by the statistical analysis of data from a survey with schoolchildren from six public high schools in the Greater Cape Town Metropolitan Area. The results show that among the participants significant relationships exist between race, music taste and preferences for certain radio, television and music television stations as well as between race and certain music genres. These findings are being discussed against the background of an increasingly segmented mediascape and the question for the attainability of a collective South African identity. It is concluded that racialised media preferences might encourage media producers to target audiences based on race, thus promoting racial difference rather than cross-racial similarities or commonalities.

This is the future of technology — how will it impact teaching & learning?
a forward-thinking elementary school in the U.K., Rothwell has watched Mitra, a Newcastle University professor, plant the seeds of his global education experiment that lets children learn on their own, and from each other, by tapping into online resources and their inner sense of wonder.
From Richard Byrne – hanks to a recent Instragram from Andy McKiel I learned about a neat mathematics and photography project started by a grade 3 class in Thompson, Manitoba. The project asks students to take photographs of things representing various topics and concepts in elementary school level mathematics.
TWITTER COFOUNDER BIZ STONE IMPLEMENTED A "NO HOMEWORK POLICY" FOR HIMSELF IN HIGH SCHOOL AND GOT AWAY WITH IT IN SPECTACULAR FASHION. HERE'S WHAT IT TAUGHT HIM ABOUT WHEN AND HOW TO BREAK THE RULES.
To help her students understand and be able to analyze the apps they come across online, Mutt Susan from Digital Divide and Conquer has created this wonderful rubric. The Student App Review Rubric, features five sections ( or criteria) that students can grade when assessing an app. Each of these criteria can be graded with a numerical number from 0 to 4 with 4 as the top grade.
A good look at how one school successfully uses Facebook to connect and spread its message.
Moreover the nature of these standardized exams — fast-paced, multiple-choice "games" that put a premium on strategic guessing — means that they advantage students with strong test-taking skills, not necessarily those with other talents that may be more valuable in the classroom or in life. Finally, the concept of "aptitude" assumes that it is innate and unchangeable. In fact, humans can develop the knowledge, skills and experiences that improve performance, if given the opportunity.
This is the challenge that must be met, "How do we make something that is mandatory for all, excellent enough that we begin to change the brains of 1000 teachers. PD can be a good thing, and you will learn something if you come willing to learn.
The irony of our increasing cultural desire to protect kids is that our efforts may be harming them. In an effort to limit the dangers they encounter, we're not allowing them to develop skills to navigate risk. In our attempts to protect them from harmful people, we're not allowing them to learn to understand, let alone negotiate, public life. It is not possible to produce an informed citizenry if we do not first let people engage in public.
From Richard Byrne – Organizing and writing a bibliography can feel like the most tedious part of writing a research paper. The following five tools can help students organize and create their bibliographies.
From Richard Byrne – EverySlide is a free (for educators and students) service that allows you to share your slides directly to the iPads, laptops, Chromebooks, and Android devices used by members of your audience.
I think that for all "materials selections" from here on out, the default should be to not purchase a new textbook.
A more plausible possibility is that we're not less capable of reading complex prose, but less willing to put in the work. Our criterion for concluding, "this is boring, this is not paying off," has been lowered because the Web makes it so easy to find something else to read, watch, or listen to.
Learning through play with "hands-on, minds-on" approaches (not workbooks) is a powerful way forward. Play gives children space to dream, discover, improvise, and challenge convention. It's crucial to social, emotional, cognitive and even physical development, helping them grow up "better adjusted, smarter and less stressed." We know this.

(See below). KEYBOARD PAUSE RUN/STOP (Move joystick or hit keys to restart) QUIT RUN/STOP when press "Q" F1/F7 Change Joystick Directional Control (Arrow on title screen shows Joystick NORTH) As an alternative to the Joystick the following keys may be used: FIRE RETURN (Also used for placing ammo dumps) NORTH ; SOUTH / WEST X EAST C The SPACE BAR is used to EXIT from the PLACE AMMO DUMPS screen. SPECTRUM/AMSTRAD CPC The game uses either joystick or keyboard for fighter sphere control, the joystick on the Spectrum can be either Sinclair 1 or Kempston. (See below). KEYBOARD On Title Screen press SPACE BAR to START. Joystick Selected with "J" = SINCLAIR (Spectrum Only) "K" = KEMPSTON (Spectrum Only) PAUSE P QUIT Q (When the game is already paused) FIRE ENTER/RETURN NORTH K SOUTH M WEST Z EAST X SPACE BAR used to go through the plates for ammo dump placement and the "S" Key is used to start the game. ATARI ST AND AMIGA JOYSTICK AND TV OR COLOUR MONITOR REQUIRED. The game uses JOYSTICK ONLY for fighter sphere control, the joystick plugs into port 2. The direction of the joystick movement can be selected as normal North or Isometric North according to preference. This option is only given on first loading of the game. KEYBOARD PAUSE F10 (Toggle pause on Atari ST) UNPAUSE F9 (Amiga only) QUIT Escape Key SPACE BAR Exit Ammo Dump Placement Screen HOW TO PLAY - NO FRILLS! For those who don't like reading long instructions before playing! PLACING AMMUNITION DUMPS At the beginning of the game, or on reaching a new level, the player has the option of placing ammo dumps almost anywhere within the current level. There are four PLATE maps to each level, you can install up to 4 ammunition dumps on EMPTY tiles throughout the level. 1. Move Joystick UP/DOWN to CHOOSE PLATE and press FIRE or use the keyboard as mentioned. 2. A cursor appears over the mini map for that PLATE. Move cursor to required position over an unoccupied tile and press FIRE to place AMMO DUMPS. The letter "A" will appear on the map if you have chosen an allowable tile. (Amiga and ST has the option of deleting a dump by pressing fire over a placed dump). 3. Place cursor on any SIDE EDGE of the PLATE MAP and press FIRE to return to the CHOOSE PLATE option. 4. PRESS SPACE to EXIT into DEATH RUN at any time. You can now attempt to play ISS. GOOD LUCK, without reading the rest of the instructions you'll need it! HOW TO PLAY BETTER THE TRAINING ARENA The PLATES within the training arena are in tiers, four deep. The plates consist of numerous TECTRONIC TILES, these effect you FIGHTER SPHERE control. Fighter sphere also effect tiles, most tiles have their own timer, once a fighter sphere passes over one, a countdown begins before the tile changes into deadly FIGHTER SPHERE VAPOURISER! So don't hang around and remember the deeper the level the faster the TIMERS! There are a few exceptions, one is Wall-Supporting Tiles these don't change, so on some PLATES 'hugging' the walls could be your only chance of survival. FIGHTER SPHERE The INCREDIBLE SHRINKING SPHERE or fighter sphere, armed with a 70mm Cannon is able, with the help of tiles, to alter its Molecular Structure. Fighter Sphere MASS, VOLUME and VELOCITY is affected by contact with the various TECTONIC TILES. Sphere velocity is also affected by the sphere's Mass, the heavier you are the slower your acceleration. The ability to negotiate the hazards of DEATH RUN depend upon skilled control of this weapon. Watch out for the sphere's momentum, learn how to 'contain' the inertia! TECTONIC TILE EFFECTS On the title screen move Joystick (not fire), or touch direction key to start a demo summary of the tectonic tiles. (Due to memory restrictions this option is not available on the Spectrum or Amstrad). TITLE NAME TECTONIC EFFECT ISMO ASSASSIN GENERATORS Avoid them, they manufacture Assassin Spheres - Deadly! SPEED TRAPS Alter Sphere speed, not always wanted! DECREASE MASS Decrease Sphere's Mass or weight. A LIGHTER sphere is able to traverse damaged tiles and prevent ramp collapse - increases sphere's manoeuvrability! INCREASE MASS Increase Sphere's Mass or weight. If HEAVY avoid damaged tiles - high mass and speed needed for opening MOVING WALLS - sphere less responsibe! INCREASE VOLUME Increase sphere's size or volume. Sphere navigation more difficult through narrow channels. DECREASE VOLUME Decrease sphere's size or volume. Easier to navigate narrow channels, sometimes essential! MASS, VOLUME OR INERTIA This is a CHANCE, anything may change! Risky but can be worth it ito short-cut the RUN. CHAOTIC BOUNCE Sphere repelled at speed! SHIELDS Provides short-term photon protection, from the Assassin Spheres, essential if you want to survive! Sphere glows and hums when shield is a active. The shield's humming sound changes just before it dissipates! Remember where shield icons are placed and keep topping up! REVOLVER If caught your sphere will start to spin at increasing speed. Once top speed is reach your score will reduce! PRESS FIRE to be released. AMMUNITION SUPPLY DUMPS Once the route through a plate is learnt use less or NO DUMPS for increased bonus! Dumps have infinite supplies of ammo! A higher bonus is awarded for placement on deeper plates - Plate four deepest. REWARD Easy score increase toward extra lives! Don't be too greedy, remember the TIMER! PENALTY An easy way to loose score! BLACK HOLES These provide access to deeper plates within a level. They have no TIMERS. WHITE HOLES These provide access UP through the plates in a level. No TIMERS. EXIT This is the exit to the next LEVEL. If a life is lost you will return to the start of the current level. BINARY REBOUND BOOSTER Rebound at full speed in opposite entry direction. On deeper levels this tile is needed to gain enough speed to open MOVING WALLS! Generally this tile is trouble! PRISON If you pass too close you will be caught and the sphere will be immobilised for a time. This could mean death! DAMAGED TILE If you are too heavy damaged tiles will collapse changing into Fighter Sphere Vapourisers. Deadly! RAMP On deeper levels the only route to a level EXIT is via the RAMPS. These allow the sphere to JUMP the walls. The ramps need to be approached at speed and the sphere must not be too HEAVY if the RAMP isn't to collapse! SHORT-CUT These are the MOVING WALLS. These sections of the walls can be pushed open if at high speed and mass. Using these walls could be your only way to complete a level! CONTROL PANEL The control panel on the bottom of the screen shows the sphere's SPEED, AMMUNITION and MASS or weight in addition to your SCORE. Speed is shown on the left hand side of the screen, weight on the right. The bigger the sphere is in the control panel the heavier you are! The sphere's VOLUME is shown by your FIGHTER SPHERE changing size on the screen. Score Bonus points are awarded for ammo dumps placed on deeper plates, the less ammo dumps you use also increases the bonus. Points are awarded for the destruction of assassin or the DEATH SNAKE on the deeper levels. Completion of a level gives big bonuses, on GAME COMPLETION there is the option of playing on with a new scenario and your present score is retained, however, you may find things a little more fraught on this new mission! New sphere are given every 50,000 points upto a maximum of 7 spheres can be held in reserve. Credits Incredible Shrinking Sphere was designed and created by Fours Fiels.

He That Winneth Souls is Wise- Part I
by Billy Sunday
"He that winneth souls is wise." — Proverbs 11:30
There are vast multitudes in this enlightened land of ours who are in open rebellion against God. "We will not have this man, Jesus Christ, to reign over us," is the heartless cry that winds its flight from office, shop, store, factory, home, college, and the busy mart of trade. Lots of people are willing, my friends, to accept whatever they want from the Bible. They would like to codify it; they would like to sit down and eliminate that which isn't pleasant to them to receive and which they don't like to adjust their lives to, and insert something they would like. You take it as it is given, and if you don't, you will go to Hell. God almighty won't adjust His principles to suit the opinions of anybody. The Lord has made His revelation known to the world, and it is up to you and not to the Lord. He has done all He ever will or can do to save this world. He has given sunshine and rain and ground; it is up to you to plant the seed, to plow it or starve to death. God has done His part; He will do no more.
Church and Business Fail Because They Have No Definite Aim
They say they will give us the Sermon on the Mount, or the Decalogue, minus the things that they don't like. They say, "We have no king but self"; and the only law that multitudes of people recognize is the law of their own desires and ambitions. They do the thing because they personally want to do it, and they do not give a rap what influence it has upon their character of what influence their conduct has upon others who are looking to them for an example. All the law they know is the law of their own desire. That's all!
"And so our Lord is now rejected; And by the world disowned. By the many still neglected, But by the few enthroned."
That is true of the denominations that are represented in these meetings, too. Out in a western state four years ago a report was made that during that year (there were 300 churches of that denomination in that state and they spent $300,000 for current expenses) they held 46,000 meetings and during the year there were just 87 men and women converted and joined those churches on confession of faith. I suppose that is this safe and sane evangelism that I hear so much about. It wouldn't take the world long to get into Hell if that is all there is to it! In Chicago just a few years ago the church made a report. There was an average of five who joined each church on confession of faith — some more, some less — but it averaged five for a year. And the last year 7,5000 churches of all denominations made reports and not one accession that year on confession of faith. All right, look at it! Just face the conditions and you will see why probably I talk in a way that grates on your nerves, but you will realize that I am only telling you the truth.
Now, what is lacking? Why these meager results? Why the expenditure of so much energy and time and money? It is because there is not a definite effort put forth to persuade a definite person to accept a definite Saviour at a definite time — and that time is NOW. That is the whole thing in a nutshell, boiled down to one sentence. That is why we are not making headway.
But wait! This element of failure is not simply confined to the church. Ninety-nine per cent of the businessmen fail. A banker told me in Chicago that forty years ago there were one hundred business houses, any one of whose paper would have passed without protest, and today only four of those houses were named. The rest of them have been ruined, gone into bankruptcy, gone out of business. There were four of them after forty years and they all passed without protest at any bank.
Only about three men out of a thousand succeed. Seventy five percent of the lawyers who graduate from law school fail to make good. Sixty five percent of the physicians fail to make good. The failure of these three classes is due largely to the lack of definite, systematic work. No political battle is won on the stump. It is not the spellbinders from the rear end of a special train who turn the vote. Sometimes a bleary-eyed, bloated-faced, bull-necked, whiskey-soaked, tinhorn politician will win more votes than the most silver-tongued spellbinder who ever spouted the principles from the rear end of a special train.
Now to give you an illustration. New York State used to be the pivot state in the presidential election. It isn't anymore. They don't care how New York goes anymore. But it used to be "As goes New York." Everybody knows that the State of New York is Republican. Everybody knows that the city of New York is Democratic. In the State the Republican party figures that it must have about 125,000 or 150,000 majority to overcome the Democratic majority in New York. So when Ben Harrison and Grover Cleveland ran for President in 1888, they went to work. They took the city, divided it, and subdivided it until they got it down into blocks. They had a man over every section and every subdivision, and they had the leading businessmen of the city in those places.
Those men used to meet every day. They used to pound this into them: "You are not responsible for who is elected; you are not responsible for who goes to Washington, Harrison or Cleveland. You are not responsible who carries this state, this city; but you are responsible to know every man in your block and to know how he votes, and if he votes." They kept pounding that one thing into the men — "Know the block! Know the block!"
They watched the town, and when the votes were counted, Ben Harrison went to Washington instead of Grover Cleveland. That was the way they put it over.
Now that is what Jesus Christ said. In other words, men will work harder to win in business and politics than the church will in religion. I am disgusted with them all! You think you can just open your church door and ring a church bell and people will come. That has been going on long enough. The church has got to wake up and do something.
You simply think that because the calendar announces that it is the Lord's day that that is all you have to do, and that if you put on a little better dress and look a little more pious that that is serving the Lord, and you go to the Devil six days in the week.
I know of a varnish company in this country that pays a man ten thousand dollars a year to look nice. He is a good dresser; he is a good mixer. He has a smile that doesn't come off. He never tries to sell varnish, but he paves the way for the fellow who comes from the firm to sell the varnish to the big railroads and the big institutions that buy it. All he does is just sort of win their friendship and make it easy for the guy who does sell the varnish. They pay him ten thousand a year just for that.
That is the way people do in order to succeed in business. What is the church doing to win people for Christ? I bet alot of you don't know whether or not people right around in your neighborhood are Christians. We never do anything; no wonder the world is going to the Devil.
Soul Winning, the Most Effective Work in the World
Another thing; it is the simplest and most effective work in the world. Andrew wins Peter; Peter turns around and wins three thousand at Pentecost.
Years ago a man went into a shoe store in Boston and found a young fellow selling shoes and boots. He talked to him about Jesus Christ and won him for Christ. The name of that little boy was Dwight L. Moody. Do you know the name of the man who won Moody for Christ? I don't suppose there are five people in this audience who do. His name was Kimball. God used Kimball to win Moody, but He used Moody to win the multitude.
Andrew didn't have sense enough to win the multitude, but Peter did. That is the way God works! Oh, I get so sick of people being dead! You have sat around so long you have mildewed.
The Earl of Shaftsbury, who gave sixty-five years of his life working among the costermongers, the fallen, the submerged and mudsills of London, was won to Jesus Christ by a servant girl in his home. He was wavering, going down the line with the gang of young bloods when his father died. This servant girl, a godly girl, said "You inherit all the honor and all the wealth that goes along with the name of Shaftsbury, but are you going to a premature grave because of the way you are going, the life you are living, and bring disgrace upon your father's memory and your mother's?" The Earl of Shaftsbury, when he was eighteen years old, fell on his knees and gave his heart to Jesus Christ. When he died, his funeral was the greatest ever held in England except when a king or queen had died.
See what she did? She won him to the Lord and then the Lord took him and used him to win the multitudes. Charles G. Finney, after learning the name of a man or a woman, invariably asked, "Are you a Christian?"
The Soul-Winning Work of John Vassar
John Vassar was one of the greatest personal workers of the nineteenth century. He never preached a sermon but that he did personal work. He was a wonder. One time he was going to help a preacher in a town. This preacher met Vassar at the Depot. Walking down to the hotel they went past a blacksmith shop. He said to Vassar, "There's a blacksmith in there. He's got a great drag with his crowd but he never comes to church. If we could only win him, then he would win scores in his class." Vassar asked, "Have you talked to him?" "Oh, we are afraid. He will cuss any preacher who comes near him." He said, "Wait a minute until I take my turn." Vassar went in. The man was shoeing a mule — that isn't a good time to talk religion to a man, take it from me! But Vassar had good sense and waited until the fellow was through and had disarmed his prejudice. In fifteen minutes he had him on his knees weeping like a child. He went up to the hotel where he was to be entertained . He registered, then strolled around, looking for somebody to speak to. He went into a little reception room and there sat a finely dressed lady. He walked up to her and said, "Lady, are you a Christian?" She said, "Yes, I am." "I beg your pardon," he said, "I didn't mean that kind. I mean, have you been born again?"
"Oh," she said, "we've gotten over that here in Boston." "Well," he said, "lady, you've gotten over Jesus Christ in Boston, too. You've gotten over God." He talked with her until her prejudice was disarmed and tears trickled down her cheeks; then he said, "May I pray for you?" She said, "I wish you would. God knows I need it, although I'm a member of the church."
He prayed. She wept and he slipped out. Her husband came in and noticed that her eyes were red. He said, "Has anybody insulted you?" She said, "The queerest little man was here a little while ago and he talked so nice to me about Jesus." He said, "If I had been here I would have told him to go along and mind his business." She said, "I wish you had been here. You would have thought he was minding his business. His business was a mission for his King, to bring people to Jesus Christ."
Vassar distributed tracts in the army. He worked with the American Bible Society. When the chaplain died, they wanted Vassar to take the place of the chaplain. He wasn't ordained and the government law does not allow anybody to be a chaplain who hasn't been ordained. He came up to Poughkeepsie and they were examining him. One fellow with cinders all over his back, said, "Mr. Vassar, your duty now is to distribute tracts. Your salary is three hundred dollars a year, and you wish to be ordained?"
"Does that mean an increase of salary?"
"Yes, sir, fifteen hundred dollars a year."
Then he said, "The increase of salary has allured you and brought you here for us to ordain."
Vassar said, "Stop where you are! I don't want it; I won't take it if you give it to me", and he wouldn't. He went back to distributing tracts for three hundred dollars a year, to do something for Jesus Christ. He was a wonder. God did marvelous things through him.
"Are you lonesome?" a man asked a lighthouse keeper. "Are you lonesome out on this lonesome spot?" He said, "I was before I saved four men from drowning…Is that a boat out there?" He was always on the lookout for other boats that he might save men from a watery grave.
Get somebody else for Jesus Christ and you will get a new vision of life, a new vision of what it means. It is something besides going to church and keeping warm a little spot seventeen inches square for a half hour and listening to a sermonette. You had better squirm around in your seat and stoop down! You had better duck!
"He that winneth souls is wise." Some people think it is beneath their dignity. Then you live on a higher plane than your Master, for He went about doing good wherever he was in the world.
A lady said to a friend of mine, "Do you think that my blindness will hinder me?" My friend answered, "It is a misfortune, but I don't know. I have the opinion it will be a help to you, because people will come up to you to express their sympathy for your lack of sight and that will give you the opportunity to speak of Jesus."
"Oh," she said, "I don't mean in an effort like that, but to stand on the platform." She thought the only way to serve God was to get in the spotlight, not to be doing something with the people whom she might shake hands with day by day in her home.
A man was thinking of entering evangelistic work. He came to my friend, Dr. Chapman, and said, "I am thinking of entering evangelistic work."
"That's good." Dr. Chapman said.
"I think I will begin out in Colorado — Denver and Colorado Springs, and out in Pasadena, California. My relatives are there."
My friend said, "Have you any brothers or sisters?"
"Are they Christians?"
"Well," he said, "I don't know. When we set up the estate four years ago my brother and I had a quarrel over it and we haven't spoken since."
"And your sister?"
"My sister took my brother's views of the proposition and she hasn't spoken to me since. I haven't been in her home."
Dr. Chapman said, "What do you intend to do?"
He said, "Evangelistic work."
Dr. Chapman said, "The Bible says, 'First be reconciled to thy brother.' If you start out the way you are, failure is written all over you. 'If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me,' the Bible tells me, so there is no use trying to bother your head about God for He won't listen to you. That's as sure as you live."

Beyond the Burka: 'Contemporary Muslim Fashion' at the de Young
As the first major exhibit to explore the intricacies of global Muslim fashion, Contemporary Muslim Fashions, running through Jan. 6 at the de Young, finally features a more accurate depiction of Muslim women—one that leaves the stereotypical black burka behind.
The exhibit features rows of beautifully dressed mannequins—both bare-headed and veiled. The yards of brightly-colored fabric represent more than Muslim style; they symbolize the importance of diversity and access. Altogether, it's a show that has already empowered Bay Area Muslims.
Curators Jill D'Alessandro and Laura L. Camerlengo consulted with the Bay Area's Muslim community (which numbers over 250,000) and Reina Lewis, a professor of cultural studies at the London College of Fashion, to dig past the misrepresentations of Islam in mainstream media. They perused social media—the main platform used by Muslim women who want to reclaim their narrative—to select the 80 ensembles and 40 photographs featured in the exhibit, including Muslim pioneers like Halima Aden, Ibtihaj Muhammad and Mona Haydar.
These trailblazers serve as important reminders that Muslim women, like all women, have varying interests—and "modest" clothing will not stop them. Halima Aden's religiosity does not interrupt her modeling career. Ibtihaj Muhammad fences while wearing the Nike Pro hijab. And Mona Haydar proves it's possible to be a Muslim rapper. All of these women may have their religion in common, but their methods of practicing and their passions vary.
Muslim women can climb in Sarah Elenany's "Hoody Dress" or swim in Aheda Zanetti's burkinis without compromising their piety or personal definition of modesty. It is possible to participate in sports, entertainment, music and fashion while still being Muslim. In this, the de Young exhibit's focus on varying interests explores recreations, rituals, and roots—and draws attention to the diversity within the 1.8 billion Muslims around the world.
As a global religion, Islam draws influence from all parts of the world, and molds to each country's culture. The Malaysian songkets used in Dian Pelangi's designs differ from the lehengas found in Pakistan, or the African influenced designs by Naima Muhammad. But all of these garments, varying in modesty, are worn by Muslim women.

'Humans: Series One (Uncut UK Edition)' Dated for Blu-ray
Posted Wed Feb 3, 2016 at 06:00 AM PST by Tom Landy
The first season of the sci-fi series will be heading to Blu-ray in March.
In an early announcement to retailers, Acorn Media will be releasing 'Humans: Series One (Uncut UK Edition)' on Blu-ray on March 29.
In the near future, technological advances have brought about the creation of life-like humanoid servants, called Synthetics—or synths—that help busy families simplify their lives. Joe Hawkins (Tom Goodman-Hill), disheartened by his wife, Laura's (Katherine Parkinson), distance, and his children's indifference, purchases a synth with the hope that it will ease the family's struggles. The synth, Anita (Gemma Chan) is an instant hit with Joe's children, but Laura can't shake her unease or the feeling that something is very wrong with Anita.
As the Hawkins family adjusts to life with Anita, retired synth engineer George (William Hurt) can't bring himself to get rid of his beloved, but malfunctioning synth, Odi (Will Tudor). And mysterious Leo (Colin Morgan) desperately searches for someone with his synth, Max. But why does Max seem different from other synths, and what secrets are the two holding?
Specs and supplements haven't been revealed yet, but the suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $39.99.
You can find the latest specs for 'Humans: Series One (Uncut UK Edition)' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it is indexed under March 29.

News release from Asia Pacific
Singapore, 28 February 2019
Vestas has received a 214 MW order from the leading Australian utility Alinta Energy for the Yandin Wind Farm in Western Australia. Once built, the wind park will be the state's largest renewable power plant, providing affordable renewable energy to more than 200,000 homes.
Located approximately 150 km north of Perth, the Yandin Wind Farm project will feature 51 V150-4.2 MW turbines with hub heights of 105 meters to maximise performance in the site's specific wind conditions. Vestas will also construct the entire project through an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) agreement.
With a very competitive cost of energy, the Yandin project demonstrates Alinta's determination to make energy more affordable and sustainable for its customers. Once in operation, Yandin will also allow Alinta to reduce its use of natural gas for electricity generation, reducing its energy production costs and illustrating how renewable energy is quickly becoming the lowest-cost energy technology in Australia.
Alinta will also look to Vestas to keep Yandin operating at maximum efficiency through a 25-year Active Output Management 4000 (AOM 4000) service agreement, designed to maximise uptime and ensure optimised performance of the project. The service agreement covers scheduled and unscheduled maintenance of the wind turbines, electrical and civil balance of plant.
"Yandin is a key project for Vestas, Alinta and Western Australia", said Peter Cowling, Head of Vestas Australia and New Zealand. "We are more than pleased to be Alinta's partner on this project, as we can see enormous potential for wind energy in Western Australia that is perfectly suited to our industry-leading wind turbines. Our leadership position in providing complete renewable energy solutions in Australia means we have more knowledge and resources to apply to giving our customers, and by extension, Australian energy consumers, the most productive, reliable and affordable clean energy around. In this way, we will support Australia's transition towards an energy system entirely powered by renewable energy".
The Yandin Wind Farm, the first wind energy project developed by Alinta, and its largest investment in renewable energy to date, will form part of the company's growing renewable energy portfolio in Australia.
"Yandin will give Alinta Energy a considerable supply of affordable renewable power for our growing electricity customer base", said Ken Woolley, Alinta Energy's Executive Director of Merchant Energy, "We selected Vestas based on their years of experience, industry-leading technology, and the commitments we share around safety and generating affordable power for Australians".
Commercial operations at Yandin are scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2020.

Meet the Cast: The Spire
Post author By JacobGunner
No Comments on Meet the Cast: The Spire
The Spire is the central hero at the heart of Aspire. The tabletop campaign may focus on the group of heroes that come together, but in this world The Spire is the reason they're coming together in the first place. While he is not the most powerful hero around, his dedication to justice has made him a symbol to the people of Azure City that, perhaps, Heroes can be trusted again.
Art by silhouettehouseart, commissioned by Jacob
The Spire's real name is Neil Mallory. He's an electronics and programming expert, but before he focused on this he was an athlete with a promising career before an injury caused him to drop out of his physical aspirations and focus on growing his knowledge in multiple facets of technology.
The suit that Neil wears compensates for his injury, allowing him not only walk without a limp again, it also gives a significant boost to his strength and stamina. As The Spire, Neil can jump up to 50 feet in the air and land without issue, run up to 50 kilometers per hour, and lift up to 1000 kilograms without issue. He can push past these limits but it increases the risk of damage to his body since the suit can only handle so much.
His helmet gives him an augmented reality Heads Up Display, its most notable feature being identifying firearms and displaying their predicted trajectory, giving The Spire a very high chance of avoiding gunfire. The suit itself provides protection as well, but any damaged sustained runs the risk of damaging the electronics that power the suit.
Despite his knowledge on technology, Neil did not make the suit. He has studied it extensively and is capable of repairing it, but duplicating or enhancing its features has thus far proven to be beyond his ability.
In the tabletop campaign, The Spire serves as your primary contact for what's going on in the city and how you can help. In the comic the origins of the suit are explored as well as how he formed his team, the Guardian Angels.

What is Aspire?
No Comments on What is Aspire?
Aspire is a Super Hero Tabletop RPG scenario being written by Jacob "Gunner" Finger. It is currently being created with the Hero System in mind, but the possibility of a custom system is being evaluated as well. Aspire started as a comic book series and is still planned to have one at some point, however until that can be a reality this RPG will be the first exposure of the project made publicly available.
The premise of the campaign is a world where super powers are a reality. The world is not Earth, but is still populated by humans. After an accident in a prominent city, super heroes are no longer commonplace. Heroes are hated for being symbols of uncontrolled, violent conflict and the accident was the tipping point. While most heroes have retired, those who use their powers for evil are still running rampant.
The International Bureau of Investigative Services (I.B.I.S.) and regional law enforcement are hard-pressed to keep villains in check. I.B.I.S. hosts the only heroes still acting in the open, and they are very few in number. Law enforcement refuses to allow super powered entities. People who do have powers are afraid to step out into the open to help.
This changed 6 months before the start of the campaign. A new hero, calling himself "The Spire" stepped up in Azure City and started making a positive impact on the city. The campaign starts with The Spire putting out a call for those who aspire to be a hero to join his team, the Guardian Angels.
Right now, the first chapter of the campaign is about 75% done. The plan is once the campaign has a few chapters completely ready the sessions will be live streamed on the NowLoading Entertainment Twitch channel and the campaign materials will be posted after the sessions for other people to host their own sessions.
Stay tuned, this is our first major project and we're very excited about it!

F9 movie get Massive Review and Reactions New Fast & Furious is Action-Packed
"F9 movie" could send the box office into overdrive when it debuts overseas this weekend. Outside of the U.S, where "F9" is scheduled to open on June 25, movie going has nearly returned to full strength.
Among Hollywood films, the Warner Bros. movie "Godzilla vs. Kong" holds the record for the best opening overseas in the pandemic era. It debuted to $121 million from 38 foreign countries. Even if "F9" falls short of expectations, it should easily surpass that benchmark.
The first reactions and reviews to Fast & Furious 9 have now started to emerge. Directed by Justin Lin, F9 Movie was originally scheduled for worldwide release in April 2020, but was pushed back multiple times amid the ongoing global situation. So, after so many delays and setbacks, was the ninth installment in the hugely popular action franchise worth the wait?
Some Reviews around the WEB about F9 Movie/ Fast & Furious 9
Dr. Zafar Tech Hub
I can't wait to watch the latest masterpiece of this franchise that has defined my childhood. I sincerely thought that with Brian's death it was going to go downhill a little but I then realized that in the Fast world he is still very much alive and is going to make a huge difference in this movie and the 10th installment as well. I also love the fact that women are taking on a larger role in the movie and being more active. Based on the trailer, we are going to see Mia being very active, which she hasn't been since the 1st installment of the franchise way back in 2001, which is very exciting because I think Mia is a character that has been held back for many years but in this movie she is going to show, even more than before, why she is Dom's sister. I also love Roman's energy and jokes but I would LOVE to see more of the Roman of 2F2F. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO SEE THAT SIDE OF HIM AGAIN BUT FOR THE WHOLE MOVIE, IF ITS POSSIBLE.
Paraiso Informativo
Arianne Saluquen
The best franchise ever made! Not only entertaining, but you learn in every movie that you watch. The cast fits perfectly into their roles, and the idea of family is perfect! Excellent as always! Keep it up! Can't wait for the next movie. I'm sad that it's canceled because of Covid, May 28, 2021, is so far, but I'm sure that it will be the best in this saga when it comes out. One Love. Always
For audiences who want their 2021 return to the multiplex to deliver big, loud, exciting action, "F9 Movie" makes the cars go fast, jump high, and generally do the impossible. It's exhilaratingly ridiculous, yes, but it's also ridiculously exhilarating.

In HCM City, the 220kV Tao Dan-Tan Cang underground cable was scheduled for completion last year, but the company and local authorities have not reached an agreement on where the cable should run.
Slow land clearance delayed other projects including the 500kV Vinh Tan-Song May-Tan Uyen line in the provinces of Binh Thuan and Dong Nai and the 500kv Long Phu-O Mon line in the southern province of Hau Giang.
Other power lines running through forest land also faced delays last year because project investors are required to complete environmental impact assessments.
The National Power Transmission Corporation also said changes in funding sources affected the progress of some projects as the Government wanted to reduce the use of Overseas Development Assistance funds. Domestic capital was mobilised instead to fund the projects.
The corporation said that last year it started 42 power transmission projects with total disbursed investment of VND15.5 trillion (US$666.6 million).
Of the projects, the 500kV Vung Ang-Pleiku 2 line will be especially important in providing power to the southern region.
Last year, it also completed 54 power transmission projects, helping ensure power supply to Hanoi, key economic hubs in the north and the south such as the 500kV and 220kV lines Hiep Hoa-Dong Anh-Bac Ninh, 500kV Tan Dinh Transformer Substation and Lai Chau 500kV Transformer Substation.
The corporation said that during this year and next, it expected to assess 169 feasibility studies and prepare investments for the projects.
To speed up power transmission projects, the corporation told Vietnam News Agency that it was very important for it to have the co-operation of local authorities in arranging the locations of transformer stations and electricity lines.
It recommended to the Government that local authorities minimise the use of forest land in power projects.
It also said that if a power line was approved by provincial people's committees and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, it should not have to be submitted to the Prime Minister.
The corporation also wants approval to increase the capacity of transformer stations and the transmitting capacity of electrical lines to ensure power supply.

LG's webOS 6.0 smart TVs have a new UI, NFC-equipped remote
Richard Lawler
Seven years after introducing webOS as the platform for its Smart TV lineup, LG is introducing version 6.0 with a new look and feel for its 2021 4K and 8K TVs. The old blade lineup of apps is gone, with a more modern tile-based layout. LG Home Entertainment president Park Hyoung-sei calls this "the most significant update since we first introduced webOS in 2014."
webOS 6.0 Magic Remote
An upgraded version of its ThinQ AI has more voice command control than ever whether you're using Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. For traditional control, this year's edition of its Magic Remote is a bit more standard than some of the previous versions, but also includes NFC for the first time, which allows users to share content from phone to TV (and back) simply by tapping it.
The new software includes Magic Explorer, which can pull up related content about actors, locations and items of interest for "select broadcast channels, while Next Picks analyzes viewing preferences to suggest things you might like. There's no word on opt-in or opt-out preferences for these settings, but we'll ask about them as the show progresses next week. It's also unclear whether the updates will extend to older TVs in LG's lineup, one way or another, the old HP software platform is still rolling on, powering new OLEDs and LCDs for another year.

RPT-State support stops pandemic sinking one in ten German firms -IMF
Government support is keeping roughly one in ten German companies afloat that would otherwise have gone bust during the coronavirus pandemic, the International Monetary Fund has found. In a report that on Tuesday laid bare the scale of economic damage masked by state aid, the Fund also warned that, once support was unwound, bankruptcy could soar, potentially weakening Germany's banks. German government support - broad-based and including guarantees, grants and waivers on filing for insolvency - has been among the most generous among western nations, according to a separate study by think tank Bruegel.

The Latest: Haines pledges support role to FBI on US threats
WASHINGTON — The Latest on Senate confirmation hearings for President-elect Joe Biden's nominees for his administration (all times local): 11:05 a.m. President-elect Joe Biden's pick for national intelligence director says that the intelligence community under her watch would have a support role in assessing the threat coming from domestic extremists like the ones who stormed the U.S. Capitol this month. Avril Haines said at her Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday that the primary responsibility for U.S.-based threats belongs to the FBI and the Department Homeland Security. But she says she expects that intelligence agencies would be involved in those discussions, particularly if there are connections between Americans and foreign-based extremist groups. Haines called the events of Jan. 6 "truly disturbing" and said it was "eerie" coming to the Senate and seeing the National Guard deployed around Washington. ___ HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN'S CABINET PICKS: President-elect Joe Biden's national security Cabinet may be bare on Day One of his presidency, but an inauguration eve spurt of Senate confirmation hearings suggests that won't be the case for long. Read more: — Yellen urges Congress to do more to fight pandemic recession ___ HERE'S WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON: 10:45 a.m. President-elect Joe Biden's pick for national intelligence director says that perhaps no greater priority on the job right now is "building the trust and confidence necessary to protect the American people." Avril Haines is vowing at her Senate intelligence committee confirmation hearing Tuesday to speak "truth to power" even when that truth is inconvenient or difficult. The comments signalled a course correction to the four years of the Trump administration, when President Donald Trump repeatedly attacked intelligence community assessments that he disagreed with — particularly about Russia. Haines also says the American people deserve a "government worthy of their trust" and that she will work to promote transparency in the intelligence community. 10:40 a.m. The Democratic vice chairman of the Senate intelligence committee is telling President-elect Joe Biden's pick for national intelligence director that the intelligence community will have to "recover" from the experience of Donald Trump's leadership. Sen. Mark Warner says that during the four years of the Trump administration, intelligence community officials willing to speak the truth were "vilified, reassigned, fired or retaliated against." Warner told Avril Haines at her confirmation hearing on Tuesday that she will be expected to keep politics out of national security decision making. He says he expects to hear a strong statement of support for the professionalism of the intelligence community. ___ 10:30 a.m. One of President Donald Trump's national intelligence directors is introducing President-elect Joe Biden's nominee for the job at her confirmation hearing. Dan Coats, a former Republican senator who held the post under Trump, is speaking Tuesday at Avril Haines' confirmation hearing before the Senate intelligence community. His appearance is designed to show that Haines, who served in the Obama administration, has bipartisan support. He says Haines is committed to bringing "nonpoliticized truth to power" and restoring trust in confidence in the intelligence community. He calls Haines an "exceptional choice." ___ 10 a.m. President-elect Joe Biden's nominee to lead the Department of Homeland Security will address the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol at the start of his Senate confirmation hearing. Alejandro Mayorkas says in prepared remarks released ahead of the Tuesday hearing that the Jan. 6 pro-Trump riot was "horrifying" and authorities still have much to learn about what happened that day and what led to the insurrection. Mayorkas says that as secretary of Homeland Security he would do everything he can to ensure that "the tragic loss of life, the assault on law enforcement, the desecration of the building that stands as one of the three pillars of our democracy and the terror felt by you, your colleagues, staff, and everyone present, will not happen again." If confirmed, the former federal prosecutor and senior Homeland Security official under President Barack Obama would be the first Latino and first immigrant to lead the department. He would lead one of the largest agencies in government to enforce the nation's immigration laws and run the immigration services agency as well as the components such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the civilian cybersecurity agency. ___ 6:30 a.m. President-elect Joe Biden's nominee to be America's top diplomat says he's ready to confront challenges posed by China, Iran, North Korea and Russia. Secretary of State-designate Antony Blinken also says he's committed to rebuilding the State Department after four years of atrophy under the Trump administration. Blinken is set to appear Tuesday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In testimony prepared for his appearance, Blinken says he sees a world of rising nationalism and receding democracy. He also says that mounting threats from authoritarian states are reshaping all aspects of human life, particularly in cyberspace. Blinken says American global leadership still matters and without it rivals will either step in to fill the vacuum or there will be chaos. He says neither choice is palatable. Blinken also promises to bring Congress in as a full foreign-policy partner, a subtle jab at President Donald Trump's administration and its secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, who routinely ignored or bypassed lawmakers in policy-making. ___ 6 a.m. President-elect Joe Biden's pick for national intelligence director is planning to tell Senate lawmakers that intelligence and national security issues will not be politicized under her watch. Avril Haines faces a confirmation hearing Tuesday before the Senate intelligence committee. Haines will also tell lawmakers that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence must not shy away from "speaking truth to power" even if inconvenient or difficult. That's according to excerpts of her prepared remarks released ahead of the hearing. Haines served in the Obama administration as deputy director of the CIA and deputy national security adviser. If confirmed, Haines would be tasked with restoring stability to an intelligence community that has been repeatedly denigrated by President Donald Trump. She would also be the first woman to hold the position. The Associated Press

Q: Topology question interior of a set Let $(X, \tau)$ be a topological space and suppose $A\subset X$
Show that $A$ is open in $X\iff\operatorname{int}A=A$
The definition of open is that it is an element of the topology. I was able to prove that if $A$ is open in $X$, then $\operatorname{int}A=A$, that follows from the fact that $\operatorname{int}A \subset A $ and that setting $A$ to be the open set containing $X$, we have  $A\subset \operatorname{int}A$ and so $A=\operatorname{int}A$
Now for the reverse direction, I understand that $\operatorname{int}A=A$ means that for every element in $A$ there exists an open set containing $x$ that is in $A$. But shouldn't noting that $A \subset X$ suffices to conclude that $A$ is open?

A: It seems that your definition of the interior is the following:
$$\operatorname{int}(A)=\{x\in A\ \mid \text{ there is an open neighbourhood }U\text{ of }x\text{ such that }U\subseteq A\}$$
By the definition $\operatorname{int}(A)\subseteq A$ regardless of what $A$ is.
Now the proper proof goes like this:
"$\Rightarrow$" as you've noted yourself, if $A$ is open then for any element $x\in A$ we can choose $A$ to be such neighbourhood and so $\operatorname{int}(A)=A$ immediately.
"$\Leftarrow$" if $\operatorname{int}(A)=A$ then it means that for any $x\in A$ there is an open neighbourhood $U_x$ of $x$ such that $U_x\subseteq A$. Therefore $\bigcup_{x\in A}U_x\subseteq A$. But the "$\supseteq$" inclusion also follows due to the fact that any $x\in A$ belongs to $U_x$. And so $\bigcup_{x\in A}U_x= A$ and since we have a union of open subsets on the left side then $A$ has to be open.

But shouldn't noting that $A \subset X$ suffice to conclude that $A$ is open?

No, such implication is just wrong. Ultimately it is true but for other reasons.


I am planning to use R510 APs in smart mesh but I would like to use r310/r300 normally connected to the network. Will this all work with ZoneDirector 1200 ?
I'm aware that R3xx does not support Mesh that's why I will use R510 for Mesh. I just want to use R310 as standard access point. Question is, will zone director be able to manage r510 in mesh and r310 in non mesh mode?
Zonedirector will be able to manage all your AP's however when it comes to handling R510 Mesh AP, there has to be a similar type radio AP as Root AP.
R310/300 cannot support mesh hence won;t be able to handle R510 as mesh AP.
Okay so if I connect R510 in mesh and leave R310 connected by ethernet in a normal mode it will all work.
Simply saying I want to have 10 R510 in smart Mesh with 2 Root APS and 10 R310 connected by POE working in normal mode totally independent from mesh. I just wanted to make sure that there will be no issues with ZoneDirector.
i doubt it will happen as R300/R310 does not have mesh function hence it would be able to offer mesh downlink and uplink service. I have not tested it and please check before making an purchase.
One more question which is not strictly related to main topic. What is minimum distance between APs on 2.4 Ghz in your opinion. We are struggling with signal as this is all based in warehouse area with narrow racking and difficult products.
R310 wil be placed on the wall where r510 next to the ceiling 18m above the ground level. I have a feeling that maximum physical distance that we can put them will be appox. 8m away of each other which can be dangerously close.
You need at least 2 R510 APs. One for root AP and the other for mesh. Can you say more about the structure of the building? Do you have the option to have a wall between the R310 and R510?
It is open plan warehouse which will have VNA racking very soon. Current WiFI is too weak to work within VNA environment. I've planned to have R510 ceiling mounted running in mesh mode ( 8 mesh APs 2 Root APs) and R310 wall mounter connected by Ethernet cable in normal mode.
VNA racking combined with products create huge barrier that's why AP's on a ceiling will be 8.5m apart of each other. Distance between wall mounted APs will be simmilar.
Finally distance between r310 and r510 will be about 20m plus R510 will be mouted on high ceiling about 18m high.

← Can you Send Tuesday Back?
I was writing my to do list on Wednesday night, figuring out what I had to do to finish out the week.
I had the unpleasant realization that Friday will be spent in a car, driving to BC, to watch a niece graduate.
I'll be off working like a busy little beaver.
16 hours! If we drove for 16 hours, we'd almost be able to drive from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South, covering the entire country. Not quite (as there's a three hour ferry ride in the middle). But close! Yes, that's love.
