because we (as a whole) feel like we need to change to a system that fits a grade book to do high school instead of our usual out-of-the-box system. Am I right? I discuss how I went through this transition and lesson here.
HOURS? There are charts to record hours to equal a credit. BUT what if you are using a curriculum set? Can you grade on completion of this curriculum if they didn't meet the hour requirement? Yes! Again, this is meant to help you solve problems. If you use Math-U-See for example you may only spend 20 minutes a day on a math lesson. If you complete (or mostly complete – public schools don't finish a curriculum!) of the package/book in a school year well, you qualify. No need to track hours. She talks more about this in the book.
She shows a TON of examples of this including how to use Baseball as a PE credit, Life skills, Home Ec, Composition….. and a blank sheet for you to create your own. INCREDIBLY VALUABLE ** this might be a good time to note that I do not own this site or this page, I do not have any affiliate links. These are things I want to share as one homeschool mom to another. I am not making any money on any of this- and I only hope I've covered the fact that this is copyrighted by the book above. I do not own this information. I simply recommend the book as a mom and homeschooler.
SO- for me the main idea here is making it my own. I've learned that as a delight-directed school- If the child is not doing at least "C" work then we are probably going to dump it for something that works better for us. So there is nothing below a "C". There simply is no credit at all for it. Obviously you can work it differently- to the way you want to design YOUR school!
80% completion of the assigned material, 20% on attitude, neatness and diligence.
pretty subjective , huh? yes. It is. But, here is what I think: ALL grades are subjective! and I'm pretty tough on what I want out of them. The best caution I have here is this- make sure the grades accurately correlate with what they have achieved on ACT/SAT testing. I'll bet you find that is not a problem- most moms are tougher graders than schools. truly.
I've been asked "Don't you ever want to go back and change the grade" yes. I actually find this is an advantage. I'm a mom. I am moody. Some days I'm so upset they did not take [this book] as seriously as i did, or they did not come to the same conclusion as me on ____ or whatever. I find that with a couple different days looking at it I can feel like I've been fair in judging THEIR accomplishments rather than MY expectations.
I've written schedules- tailor to each child and recorded it here: Living Books Curricula.
These are adjustable!! My DS can cover a LOT of material in a short amount of time. If I do not keep him busy – well he actually just wanders away and doesn't do it at all so while my oldest daughter used Friendly Chemistry for a whole year (one lesson a week) My DS was scheduled to complete this and many other books in a year. I think each accomplished a Chemistry credit.
Make the curriculum work for you. Make the grading system work for you. If you'd like to see more of my High School posts- look here.

The American conservative movement as we know it faces an existential crisis as the nation's demographics shift away from its core constituents--older white middle-class Christians. It is the American conservatism that we don't know that concerns George Hawley in this book. During its ascendancy, leaders within the conservative establishment have energetically policed the movement's boundaries, effectively keeping alternative versions of conservatism out of view. Returning those neglected voices to the story, Right-Wing Critics of American Conservatism offers a more complete, complex, and nuanced account of the American right in all its dissonance in history and in our day.
The right-wing intellectual movements considered here differ both from mainstream conservatism and from each other when it comes to fundamental premises, such as the value of equality, the proper role of the state, the importance of free markets, the place of religion in politics, and attitudes toward race. In clear and dispassionate terms, Hawley examines localists who exhibit equal skepticism toward big business and big government, paleoconservatives who look to the distant past for guidance and wish to turn back the clock, radical libertarians who are not content to be junior partners in the conservative movement, and various strains of white supremacy and the radical right in America.
In the Internet age, where access is no longer determined by the select few, the independent right has far greater opportunities to make its many voices heard. This timely work puts those voices into context and historical perspective, clarifying our understanding of the American right--past, present, and future.
George Hawley is assistant professor of political science at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. He is the author of White Voters in 21st Century America and Voting and Migration Patterns in the U.S.


Things haven't exactly been a bed of roses. I guess it has finally hit me that I have issues in the baby department. I have always been the kind to keep my spirits up and keep myself pre-occupied, I mean really pre-occupied – work, Lola, bakes, accounts, web, housework, making plans with family and friends; you name it and I'll do it, just try to keep myself busy. I guess it's coz I don't want to be a time where I'll think and when I think, it gets kind of sad/depressing. I'll keep pondering on how my life is going to turn out.
I thought that with the reserved eggs I have after doing my IVF would help after the failed pregnancy, well, it didn't. Many people were telling me that usually after a miscarriage, it'll be easier for me to get pregnant, well, after 1 year, it didn't get any easier. When people tell me that it's just not my time yet, well I have been telling myself that for the past 6 years and it still hurts. I try to act all tough & fine when I see babies popping up everytime on my FB newsfeed or news about friend/relatives getting pregnant, well I'm not fine. I am truly happy for them coz I know they have their own trials and tribulations while trying to conceive, but still I am not fine! I may sound whiny but that's the truth! No one ever said it's going to be this hard!
I wonder how those people do it… Many will tell me to Redha and have faith in HIM for HE knows better. I do have faith in HIM. But I am only human. There are days that I will falter and question HIM. Why me! Why! Why! Why! What didn't help was that the husband and I got into an argument and hurtful words were exchanged vice versa. In that heated argument, we just gave up on Dr. Aziz's process. I just didn't call to follow up when I should and he didn't even make an effort to remind me to. It just made the process even harder. Life has been in limbo since… just doing things as they come and not thinking far for now.

Has anyone tried Sansha 202c's in canvas?
Thank you for your query, it is great to hear from you. I have not personally tried Sansha 202c, however I am sure there are many other ballet dancers who have worn them. It is great to try different ballet pointe shoe brands, as it can take a few experiments before you find the perfect shoe.
Feel free to join the discussion if any visitors have tried Sansha 202c, it would be great to hear everyone's feedback.
I received your message about writing the positive things about ballet pointe shoes so i decided to write something. My ballet teacher picked out sancha recitals for me and they've worked out well. Since they have a broad box i was able to get on the box really soon and it makes turns much easier. Over all, sancha recitals are a great match for me because of they're stable and rewarding.
Thank you so much for your delightful message. I am so happy that you have written in to me Shanna, I love to hear about your sancha recitals and it is super that your ballet teacher has picked these ballet pointe shoes for you. Especially because they give you good support and stability, this is very encouraging.
It is great that you the broad box makes you turn easier. This is very true and I also agree that pirouettes are easier on a broader box as you can find your balance to feel more stable.
I hope your message will inspire others to share their positive things about ballet pointe shoes. As I said in my message to you, sometimes we need to forget the bad stuff, and focus on the good. It is easy to conjure up the worries, the fear and the doubts of ballet pointe shoes. Yet sometimes these concerns do nothing but make you feel even more unsure.
So I love to hear about your success and your achievements. I am glad you have shared and acknowledged these positive qualities as it will do you wonders to your mind and your dancing.
Do I need ribbons on Sansha Futuras?
Thank you for contacting me, it is a pleasure to hear from you. You enlighten me with the ballet pointe shoes 'Sansha Futuras'. I have never seen these pointe shoes before and I am intrigued! Please tell me more! Have you worn them before? If so, what are like in comparison to the standard pointe shoe?
The Sansha Futuras looks like an extremely modern-day pointe shoe. Sansha have made a unique lace-up pointe shoe, featuring a medium box with a high box and medium shank. I would imagine the lace gives very good frontal support so that the foot feels snug in the pointe shoe.
I am slightly undecided to whether these ballet pointe shoes need ribbons, as they already give a lot of support within the lace. However, there would be no harm in sewing ribbons to give even more support. You may find ribbons are necessary to keep the sides of the pointe shoes held onto your foot.
To get the right placement for the ribbons, fold the heel of the pointe shoe forwards towards the toe. Place the ribbon on the edge of the fold and this should be the estimated place to sew the ribbons. I always like to pin the ribbons in the right place so they are fixed and ready before I begin to sew.
Odette thanks for your kind words. I have Sansha Futuras in red and have found them to be quite a good shoe. I now have added ribbons for greater side support.

Chekka Chivantha Vaanam: An in-form Mani Ratnam hits this gangster film out of the park
Posted by Sudhir Srinivasan on September 27, 2018 November 6, 2018
Gangster films are often male-centric. It's understandable given how men are evolutionarily wired to be more aggressive. Female portrayal is an easy criticism to make of films in this genre whose women serve only as eye candy or sometimes, get entirely written out. Chekka Chivantha Vaanam, while having women who don't, on the looks of it, seem to matter a great deal, is yet different. And this is what filmmakers like Mani Ratnam do so well. They pick up weakness and transform it into strength. The men in Chekka Chivantha Vaanam bay for blood; they lust for power. But there's always the tragic reminder in the air that they wouldn't, if only the women were allowed to play a more active part. All the three sons of Senapathi/Periyavar (Prakash Raj) — Varadaraj (Arvind Swami), Thyagaraj (Arun Vijay) and Ethiraj (STR) — are rather starved of the calming influence of wholesome individual attention from their mother. This is especially true of Ethiraj. Even an outsider like Rasool (Vijay Sethupathi) suffers from the same problem. The women are prisoners of the ways of men in Chekka Chivantha Vaanam. It's literally the case with two: Renuka (Aishwarya Rajesh) and Senapathi's wife (Jayasudha). Rasool expresses this as much in words, when he exclaims, "Pombalainga ennada pannaanga?"
The most notable woman in this story is Chitra, Varadaraj's wife. Jyotika is splendid in the part of the sedate first lady in the Periyavar family. She knows the family too well to even rely on words for communication sometimes — like in the hospital scene where she catches all of Periyavar's questions, as he gestures about. Watch Jyotika's Chitra in the scene after the death of a important character. She collapses in grief and shock, but knows that in this household, she can't afford a moment to tend to her feelings. She springs back up, looking for people to care for, and runs to Senapathi's wife. Later in the film, there's another scene when she's bawling in agony, and it's a situation when you'd forgive her for launching into a tirade of expletives. She is on a call with the aggressor, and channelises all her rage into words: "Nalla iruppiya thambi nee?" That's the extent of her curse, the limit of her disrespect. So long as she exists, an invisible aura of protection exists not just around her husband, Varadaraj, but the entire family in a sense. The poor woman gives and gives some more, but hardly gets. It's the price she has to pay for marrying a selfish man.
The men are all selfish, and in one scene, one of the brothers admits as much. They are toxic, and as is said of those who victimise, you could make the case for them being longterm victims in a sense. They take and take some more — often from each other. A memorable shot as Periyavar remains bed-ridden, establishes, in a sense, how emotionally connected each brother is to the family. Ethiraj is the farthest, and just as well. When told about an emergency situation at home, he's the sort to respond, "Naan varanuma?" You can sense from his voice that he'd rather not. He's perhaps the least obsessed with power of the three brothers. He'd be the perfect successor, the reluctant kind, were he not so emotionally stunted.
Director: Mani Ratnam
Cast: Vijay Sethupathi, Jyotika, Arvind Swami, STR, Arun Vijay, Prakash Raj
The other brothers are fascinating characters too. Varada's never had much time for emotion. Even his reason for having an affair is to feel powerful. His concubine (Aditi Rao Hydari) affectionately calls him, Nawab, for this reason. Varada's a man of impulse, a physical creature, and in a scene when he sits for dinner, you see this when he unthinkingly touches a hot vessel. Thyagu, meanwhile, has a calmer head, but is not any less ambitious. Watch him belong on Periyavar's chair. We may as well call it a throne. It is a game of thrones, if you will. Does the military general — Stannis/Varadaraj — take control? Or perhaps it's the calmer younger one, Renly/Thyagu, who's underestimated. Perhaps there's another power these men are oblivious to, a Khaleesi who wants to not just stop the wheel, but break it.
Game of Thrones aside, more locally, the story also got me thinking about a prominent leader who left behind no successor, and the aftermath that has seen much infighting in a struggle for power, among a self-presumed successor and a couple of others who have vied for control. Fascinatingly, this party too suffered an unexpected demise of its leader, who was referred to by a generic name of respect. When you fixate on such an example, it just seems to fit.
In a film that's about an empty throne, it's no coincidence that each of the brothers' names ends with 'Raj'. Their sister — a woman who plays almost no part in the violent games of men — has a baby, and what does Varada name him? Raja. This hunger for power comes at the cost of the selflessness that makes relationships work. You become less human in a sense and get desensitised to the damage you cause. As Rasool says to his elderly foster parents: "Naanga laam miruganga." This ties in very well with that magnificently choreographed stunt sequence featuring Varada, a wounded animal who comes out unleashing all his brutish fury. The entire Periyavar family hangs on a fragile thread, and this likely explains why the house they live in is made of glass. You know what they say about people who live in glass houses.
It's a gangster film and violence is par for the course. Mani Ratnam shows a taste for some affecting visuals, including a man beaten to within an inch of life and hung on a gate. There's much gunfire, hand-to-hand combat… The violence in this film is the percussion to the music that is the power struggle — which, of course, is the film's core. Right at the beginning, the narrator, Rasool, explains how a power shift occurs every once in a decade or two. In a film featuring guns, sickles and makeshift weapons like a table leg, its most potent weapon is its music. While people pump each other with bullets, Rahman's music remains observant while being strangely detached. It's a shrug of the narrator's shoulder, at the unstoppable tragedy of it all.
Chekka Chivantha Vaanam is a shining example of song integration into story. Pay attention to how variations of Sevandhu Pochu Nenju get used in this film in bits and pieces. Or even better, how about Mazhai Kuruvi, which transforms from love to lament? Watch the film, and now, pay attention to the lyrics to discover a short story within this film. What a wonderful idea to have a song that shifts from joy to sorrow, and yet remain connected. If you were the pessimistic kind, you could say the song's a fitting depiction of almost life itself.
While on excellence, can we take a moment to recognise how immense Vijay Sethupathi is in this film? It's a delight to see him convey so much with the slightest gestures, the briefest change in gaze. Watch him in scenes where he has to express sadness whilst looking satisfied. Through the film, he has to remain casual, while always conveying a hint of intensity. He's goofing around, joking about, but you know you'd mess with him at your peril. It's a straightforward character and yet, so conflicted, Vijay Sethupathi's Rasool Ibrahim. He's the life of Chekka Chivantha Vaanam. It's evident every time he enlivens scenes with humour, but never so much that it lets the intensity drop.
Mani Ratnam also treads the thin line of saying just so much with all the characters in this story. There's always a hint of great detail in the background, a loaded history. Who's Rasool, for instance? Why does he grow up with step parents? What about Periyavar himself? How did he come to be in control of such an empire? Whose blood does he have on his hands? What bloody transformatory period did he oversee?
Chekka Chivantha Vaanam develops chinks especially in the second half. A death happens unexpectedly once, and it's shockingly effective. The second time it happens, it doesn't feel as powerful. A bigger problem is an important character revealing a big twist about himself. It feels ungainly and forced. It's a convenience that hardly belongs in a carefully constructed story like this. While on aspects that don't belong, Thyagu's manic bouts seem rather over the top. He's supposed to be crafty and the one with a steady head, but every time he lets go — like when he stands inside a convertible and celebrates — it feels overdone. The scene that has him championing Dubai's growth also seems more like a tourism pamphlet and less like a convincing argument.
After the film, I also walked out wanting to know more about Rasool. The end credits montage don't give you enough. The big twist too, I saw coming from quite a distance, and that's always a problem with these twist-y stories. I'd rather filmmakers went The Departed way and exposed cards right at the beginning. But these are minor personal grouses in an otherwise wholesome Mani Ratnam film experience. The film's a lesson in how 'commercial' films can be made with their soul intact. It's a lesson in music usage; a lesson in action choreography (that scene as a four-wheeler goes round and round is dynamite). Above all, it's a film that has Mani Ratnam in form, and when that happens, there's not a whole lot you want more.

Anuja Chandramouli says:
Not for the first time and it won't be the last, I couldn't disagree more with this review. While CCV was miles ahead of Mani Ratnam's Kadal and Katru Veliyidai, I still found the writing unforgivably shabby. One would be hard pressed to find more poorly written characters and you tend to expect more from Mani who is supposedly one of the smart filmmakers in the Tamil film industry.
Let us start with the terrible trio. Ethi conveniently tells his Dad that the three of them are carbon copies of him, or made from the same mould. And really, there is nothing distinctive about the brothers. Which makes it impossible to root for them or feel emotionally invested in their lives and eventual tragic fates which have zero impact.
I didn't buy any of it after a point. Ethi knew which brother was responsible for the death of his wife (don't you hate that Gautam Vasudev Menon touch where dudes marry at inopportune moments just to give some emotional heft to the subsequent scene where the wife dies in a particular violent manner?) but decides to ally with him in order to go after the other brother so that we can have a crappy reveal in the climax. In which world does that make sense? As for Thyagu, I am not a genius gangsta type, but I certainly wouldn't use all my bullets to kill a man when one would suffice especially while stuck in a car with two murderous brutes, then stick my neck out through a sun roof at that! It didn't make sense that Varada would take Chitra to a knife fight not knowing that his douchebags former associates would bring guns. These are just a few examples of the umpteen things that bothered me about this film.
As for the female characters, granted this is a male – centric film but it would have been nice if there was a little time and effort devoted to shading them with memorable hues. Chitra and Mommy dearest fared a lot better than the others but as with the male leads I wished to know a little more about what made them all tick.
All in all, CCV was a bitter disappointment. Still it was great to see STR in fine form.

Whether you're a professional, an entrepreneur, starting a side business or creating an online dating profile, you need at least one good photo of yourself to serve as your social media profile pic.
That selfie in the bar with the margarita or the one of you wearing the sunglasses and bikini on the beach? You might think you look good, but it may be that neither is the best representation of yourself.
We talk with Jenn Cady — a professional photographer, visual branding expert and the woman behind the lens of the photos in skirt! magazine — for tips about how to present our best selves in 2018.
Hire a professional photographer who specializes in headshot or branding photography. Look for a photographer who knows how to pose you and is willing to take the time to find your best angle. "Everyone has a best side," Jenn says.
Once your shoot is scheduled, do some prep work. Plan to get your hair and makeup done the day of the photo shoot.
Use high-definition makeup without SPF. Jenn says SPF can make you look greasy in photos, so reserve that for your everyday wear and use another foundation for nighttime and when you're being photographed. Always carry around a good finishing powder.
Know what hairstyles look good on you and whether you need highlights or lowlights. Date your stylist until you find the perfect fit, Jenn says, even if that means breaking up with your current stylist. We know it's hard, but you will feel better after you do it.
Hire a fashion stylist to help you shop your closet for the right outfit. For your photo shoot, avoid patterns. They tend to distract from you. Choose one statement piece of jewelry.
On the day of the shoot, don't say, "Cheese." Jenn says that longtime trick actually causes us to tuck our chins, which is not flattering. Instead, lean into the camera and keep your shoulders back. A good photographer can make you laugh, so you have a natural smile. But, Jenn says, not everyone is a smiler, and that's OK.
Of course, you can't hire a professional photographer to follow you around every day, but you can follow these tips to make sure you look your best even in amateur iPhone photos.
When you're shooting photos with friends and family, make sure you find a good light source and face toward it. If you're inside, face a window. If there's no light, turn the flash on. "Light takes away wrinkles," Jenn says.
If you're outside, find open shade, where you can still see the sky, but you are under cover. A covered porch works well. Ask the person taking the picture to raise the camera and point it down for the most flattering angle.
Know your best side and stand on it. Model with your chin and roll your shoulders back. Be proud. Don't stand straight. Stand at an angle. "Once you turn, you have life," Jenn says.

I've only seen Glossy Ibis a few times in South Carolina and was surprised to come upon this one feeding in an old rice field pond at the end of February.
Ibis will eat about anything they find while probing mud or wetlands.
When they turn in the light the Glossy Ibis' colors are spectacular.
This is a gorgeous bird if you can see them in the right light.

Q: Android EditText Not showing typed letters used for Filtering ListAdapter ListView I have a LinearLayout with an EditText and a ListView.  I'm using the EditText to filter the ListView.  The filtering is working fine when I first show the screen and the soft keyboard automatically pops up.  As I type the typed letters do not show up in the EditText. If I tap on the EditText, the letters I type do show up but don't go to the filter.  It's as if there are 2 EditText there.
Here is my xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

 <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:orientation="vertical"
     android:paddingBottom="6dip"
     android:paddingTop="4dip" >

     <EditText
         android:id="@+id/search_box"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:inputType="text"
         android:maxLines="1"
         android:textSize="17dip" />

     <ListView
         android:id="@+id/beerListViewID"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="0dip"
         android:layout_weight="1" >

     </ListView>

</LinearLayout>

Here's my set up for TextWatcher:
@Override public void onLoadFinished(Loader<ArrayList<BeerRecord>> loader,
        ArrayList<BeerRecord> beers) {
    // Set the new data in the adapter.
    ListView listView = (ListView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.beerListViewID);

    myAdapter = new BeerItemAdapter(getActivity(), R.layout.beerline, beers);

    filterText = (EditText) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.search_box);
    filterText.addTextChangedListener(filterTextWatcher);

    listView.setAdapter(myAdapter);

}

And the TextWatcher:
    private TextWatcher filterTextWatcher = new TextWatcher() {

    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
    }

    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
            int after) {
    }

    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,
            int count) {
        myAdapter.getFilter().filter(s);
    }

};

Should I post more code? Anyone have an idea why there would seem to be 2 EditText?
EDIT:  When the activity starts and the soft keyboard pops up, I can see that the viewable EditText does not have focus.  I must somehow be defining a second one that's hidden behind the first.
EDIT -- ANSWERED:
I figured it out. In the OnCreate method for this Fragment I had:
    getActivity().setContentView(R.layout.beer_listview);

I guess this was creating a second view. When I commented it out the 2nd EditText went away.

A: Just to reiterate from my comment above, now that 8 hours have passed.  I figured out what happened:
 getActivity().setContentView(R.layout.beer_listview);

was in my OnCreate for my fragment and it was putting another view on top of the "real" one.  I don't really know why, but I know commenting out fixed it.  I thought it was something like that and just searched for every reference I made to the view, commenting out as I went.
If someone wants to explain, feel free!

Die Dr. Paul Meyer AG, ab 1941 Elektrofinanz AG war ein deutscher Hersteller für Elektrotechnik. Das Unternehmen mit Hauptsitz in Berlin wurde 1899 gegründet, befand sich seit 1927 fast zu 100 % in Besitz der AEG und ging 1970 schließlich ganz in dieser auf.

Das Unternehmen stellte Produkte der Elektrotechnik, Feinmechanik und Metallbearbeitung her. Dabei spezialisierte es sich auf elektrotechnische Messinstrumente, Schaltapparate und Schaltanlagen für Hoch- und Niederspannung.

Geschichte

Ein Vorläufer, ebenfalls Paul Meyer genannt, entstand 1893 in Berlin-Rummelsburg.

Die Dr. Paul Meyer AG wurde 1899 gegründet, Direktor blieb Paul Meyer. Hauptsitz war in der Lynarstraße im Ortsteil Berlin-Gesundbrunnen im Berliner Bezirk Wedding. Das Unternehmen begann mit der Produktion von Schaltanlagen für die Elektrotechnik und den dazugehörenden Messinstrumenten. Dabei begann die Dr. Paul Meyer AG mit der Produktion für Niederspannungs-Anlagen und nahm erst um 1910 auch Hochspannungs-Anlagen mit ins Programm auf. Wichtige Kunden in diesem Geschäftszweig waren beispielsweise die Rheinisch-Westfälischen Elektrizitätswerke.

Im Jahr 1913 machte das Unternehmen 3 Millionen Reichsmark Umsatz und erzielte einen Gewinn von 300.000 Mark. Zu dieser Zeit hatte sie etwa 800 bis 900 Arbeiter.

Anfang der 1920er gelang es der AEG und der Dr. Paul Meyer AG, zusammen die Einführung des Distanzschutzrelais zur Sicherung von Stromnetzen durchzusetzen. In den 1920ern beschäftigte die AG allein im Berliner Bezirk Wedding 3.000 Arbeiter. Mitte der 1920 begannen Siemens-Schuckert und die AEG ein Oligopol auf dem deutschen Markt für Zähler- und Trafoanlagen aufzubauen. Sie kauften dabei sämtliche kleineren Mitbewerber – darunter die Dr. Paul Meyer AG – auf.

Nachdem die AEG sich 1927 fast zu 100 % an dem Unternehmen beteiligt hatte, kaufte die AEG 1931 den gesamten Warenbestand von der Dr. Paul Meyer AG und pachtete deren sämtliche Produktionsanlagen. Durch Umstrukturierungen innerhalb des AEG-Konzerns kam die Dr. Paul Meyer AG im Jahr 1935 an die Anteile, die die AEG an der Deutschen Werft besaß, 1937 übernahm die Dr. Paul Meyer AG die Anteile der AEG an den Bergmann Elektrizitätswerken. 1941 folgte die Namensänderung von Dr. Paul Meyer AG in Elektrofinanz AG.

In den Jahren 1966/1967 organisierte die AEG den Konzern um. Ehemals rechtlich eigenständige Töchter wie Telefunken oder Nationale Automobil-Gesellschaft wurden komplett in das Unternehmen eingegliedert, darunter auch die Elektrofinanz AG. 1969 erfolgte die Verlegung des Hauptsitzes nach Frankfurt am Main, bevor die AEG 1970 die Gesellschaft löschte.

Violence and Islam
Hardback by Adonis
Adonis influence on Arabic literature has been likened to that of T. S. Eliot in the English-speaking world. Yet alongside this spearheading of a modernist literary revolution, the secular Syrian-born poet is also renowned for his persistent and staunch attacks on despotism across the Arab world.
In these conversations with the psychoanalyst Houria Abdelouahed, Adonis brings into sharp relief the latest wave of violence and war to engulf Arabic countries, tracing the cause of ongoing tensions back to the beginnings of Islam itself. Since the death of the prophet Muhammad, Islam has been used as a political and economic weapon, exploiting and reinforcing tribal divisions to aid the pursuit of power. Adonis argues that recent events in the Middle East – from the failures of the Arab Spring to the rise of ISIS and the bloody war in his native Syria – attest to the destructive effects of an Islamic worldview that prohibits any notion of plurality and breeds violence. If there is to be any hope of peace or progress in the Arab world, it is therefore imperative that these mentalities are overcome. In their place, Adonis urges a new spirit of enquiry, embodied in the freedoms to interrogate the past and to question cultural norms.
Adonis penetrating analysis comes at a critical time, offering an alternative path to the cycle of violence that plagues the Arab world today.
Publication Date: 30 Aug 2016 Publisher: Polity Press
Adonis was born in 1930 in Qassabine, Syria and has been writing poetry for seventy years. His work has been recognised with numerous international accolades, including the Goethe Prize in 2011.

ENEC announces completion of several major construction milestones on Unit 2 of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant
PicturesVideos
ABU DHABI, 29th November, 2015 (WAM) — The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation, ENEC, today announced the completion of several major construction milestones on Unit 2 of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant for the UAE's peaceful nuclear energy programme.
These include the completion of the 2,000 tonne containment liner plate for the Reactor Containment Building (RCB) including placement of the upper dome, lifting the pressuriser into place and lifting the roof frame for the Unit 2 main control room.
According to ENEC, the successful completion of these milestones continues their progress toward the safe and quality-driven delivery of the project to build four nuclear energy units in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi by 2020.
"Progress of Unit 2 at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant continues to proceed safely and in adherence to the highest quality standards," said Mohamed Al Hammadi, ENEC CEO. "Each unit's progression remains scheduled at approximately 12 months apart. This allows our highly skilled workforce to move efficiently and deliberately through their tasks to ensure the safe and timely delivery of the entire project."
"These milestones for Unit 2 are part of the defence-in-depth safety features in the design. The ongoing collaboration and commitment to safety and quality, seen in all our employees and contractors, is one of the great achievements of our programme. I am pleased with how this progress shows how effectively we are driving the commitments of the UAE peaceful nuclear energy programme through all levels of the organisation," said Mr. Al Hammadi.
When completed, the four reactors at Barakah will have a combined generating capacity of approximately 5,600 MW and will supply nearly one-quarter of electricity demand in the UAE. Barakah Unit 1 is more than 81% complete and Unit 2 is almost 60% complete. ENEC is currently working to obtain the approval of the Operating License from the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR) for Units 1 and 2 and is responding to Requests for Additional Information (RAI) from the regulator to proceed to operate the first two Units. The UAE's peaceful nuclear energy programme is scheduled to be complete by 2020, when Unit 4 is connected to the grid and provide the UAE with emissions-free electricity to power the future growth of the nation.

Q: react hooks callback function need to be clicked twice I have a following JSX and it behaving in a weird manner. I need to click the button twice to update the setRows hook.
  const [rows, setRows] = useState([]);
  const [fileName, setfileName] = useState('test.txt');

  const handleFilenameClick = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    setfileName(e.target.value);
    async function anyNameFunction() {
      const response = await axios.get(`/api/files/fileData/${fileName}`);
      setRows(response.data);
    }
    anyNameFunction();

  };

   <div className="list-group list-group-flush">
      {fileNames.map((file) => {
        return <input type="button" className="bg-light" onClick={handleFilenameClick} value={file}></input>
      })}
    </div>

My problem is that when I click on my button it should set the setRows and update my grid. Currently I need to click twice for it to work. I am unable to figure out the exact issue.

A: const handleFilenameClick = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    setfileName(e.target.value);
    async function anyNameFunction() {
      // use `e.target.value` directly because `setfileName` is async.
     // so every time when you use it, you will always get it's previous value
      const response = await axios.get(`/api/files/fileData/${e.target.value}`);
      setRows(response.data);
    }
    anyNameFunction();

  };


Let's admit it - coding solo is the most fun. It's great to have an understanding of the whole code. It's great to have your coding style used for the whole code. It's great not having to connect to other people's ugly and buggy code.
Source control. CVS/MKS/Subversion - whatever, as long as source control is used. Use it for the whole code - check in often in small pieces, use labels to tag releases and major builds.
Backup - this is very important and often overlooked by solo coders. You must have your code (the whole CVS tree) backed up somewhere. Whether you have local backups or just send it all zipped to your Gmail account periodically - don't forget to back up !
(Unit) testing. Have unit/regression testing where possible. Keep it in CVS too !
Keep a todo list. While for pet projects full-features bug tracking systems are mostly an overkill, a simple todo file is a must.
Documentation. Do document ! You'll come back to some code in a year, and will have no idea what it does. I'm currently playing with Doxygen trying to make docs for my ESMS project - I'll report the progress later.
Conclusion: even though it's your own small project, correct software development practices and good tools are essential. Never forget about it, and enjoy solo coding !

A North Korean submarine is missing and presumed sunk, according to reports in the US media.
The vessel was operating off the North Korean coast for several days when it disappeared, a paper with close links to the US military says.
The accident comes at a time of heightened tension in the region as South Korea and the US continue their largest-ever military exercise.
Any chance North Korea is testing some sort of "cloaking device"?
Turn the device on, go silent...let the world think the sub has sunk...see if the ploy works?

The daily hustle and bustle of life makes it very hard to find out private time with your wife. Sometimes other works like caring for an elderly parent, children or other engaging activities make up most part of your day. Nevertheless, it is should be a primary thing on your daily schedule to get some special time for your wife. If you falter in finding out such times, then you are on the verge of an unsuccessful relation. A balanced and healthy marital relation gives importance to private times where both of you can share your joys, grief and do things that are worth enjoying.
Whenever both of you get some private time together, try to speak with your wife in an open manner, without much restrictions. When you approach her about a situation, avoid blaming her and try to rectify her in a humble manner. Always be modest and have the guts to say sorry when required. You can also invite her for a date.
Make this private time a part of your daily schedule, but it needn't be on the same time every day.
Try sending children to bed at an early hour so that they might not interfere with your private time. This kind of organized schedule helps you to keep the special time with your wife intact. In case if you have to do some work at home, try to end it as early as possible so that you might not compromise on your private time.
Mobile phones and laptops are good at office, but they might spoil your happy moments at home. So it is better to switch off cell phones. You can also ask your wife to do the same if she is over with her work.
Women always adore surprises and gifts. Bring a smile on your wife's face by bringing her a bunch of roses, or gifting her something unique like a card or even chocolates, showing how much she means to you.
These are some of the tips that will help you in making out private time with your wife. What matters more is the love and pampering that you provide her, no matter however small time you get to be private.

Пернацкий Виктор Иванович The Mirror and the Echo of Universe. Theory Being, Space Time in Philosophical Mater.
The quote from Karl Marx taken out to the headline treats a person as a rational being realizing the being as a whole and inexhaustible. Hence - the problem of philosophical knowledge and philosophical perception of the whole as a purely philosophical problem. For its solution the author is developing a theory of being, motion, space and time, relying on modern natural, inter alia, on cosmological perceptions of the world, challenging some of them, including the theory of enlargement of the Universe, recession of galaxies et al. Decision of assigned tasks required author to address to the problems associated with a fundamental question of philosophy, as well as the theory of knowledge, consciousness, nature of the ideal and the mechanisms of spiritual production. Solving these problems in a non-traditional way, especially when you consider that these traditions have become or are strenuously made far from the identified problems neo-postpositivist and postmodern constructions, the author refers to the ancient and more recent origins of classical philosophy.

Levinas Emmanuel Entre Nous
Entre Nous is a major collection of essays representing the culmination of Emmanuel Levinass philosophy. Bringing together his most important work in a single volume the book reveals the development of his thought over nearly forty years of committed inquiry. Here he engages with issues of suffering, love, religion, culture, justice, human rights, and legal theory and each issue is discussed in relation to the ethical dimensions of otherness. Like much of his work this text bridges several major gaps in the evolution of Continental philosophy, between modernism and postmodernism, phenomenology and poststructuralism, ethics and ontology.

Douglas-Fairhurst Robert The Story of Alice. Lewis Carroll and Secret History Wonderland
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2015 COSTA BIOGRAPHY AWARD. This is the secret history of Alices Adventures in Wonderland. Wonderland is part of our cultural heritage. But beneath the fairy tale lies the complex history of the author and his subject. Charles Dodgson was a quiet academic but his second self, Lewis Carroll, was a storyteller, innovator and avid collector of child-friends. Carrolls imagination was to give Alice Liddell, his dream-child, a fictional alter ego that would never let her grow up. This is a biography that beautifully unravels the magic of Alice. It is a history of love and loss, innocence and ambiguity. It is the story of one mans need to make a Wonderland in a changing world.

Who thought political ads featuring Deepfake Putin and Kim trashing the US was a good idea?
A not-for-profit called RepresentUS, working with creative media agency Mischief @ No Fixed Address, recently used the popular Deepfake AI system to create a pair of political ads featuring actors digitally manipulated to look like Vladmir Putin and Kim Jong Un mocking the current state of US politics.
The ads were reportedly slated to air on Fox, CNN, and MSNBC in their DC markets but were "pulled at the last minute" for reasons unknown.
Allow me to clear the mystery: they were probably pulled because this is a bad idea. But before we get into that, let's take a moment to break down what's happening in the ads.
Here's Deepfake Vladmir Putin:
And here's Deepfake Kim Jong Un:
RepresentUs, the not-for-profit behind the project, says on its website that it brings together "conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to pass powerful state and local laws that fix our broken elections and stop political bribery. Our strategy is central to ending political corruption, extremism and gridlock."
The creators claim the purpose of the Deepfake ads is to be shocking and warn voters about the potential dangers our democracy faces. On the surface, this is a great message and it's easy to get behind the campaign. Whether you're politically red, blue, purple, or none of the above: if you're eligible to vote you should.
The reason this ad campaign is a bad idea is because the political battlefield is already rife with bots, bad actors, misinformation, disinformation, and organized chaos designed to disenfranchise as many people as possible.
Instead of clearing the air or cutting through the noise, these ads are just more signal distortion. Not only are they disingenuous on their surface, but they're marketing fluff. There's no revelatory information in the ads. It's a fantasy that distracts from a reality. The Putin and Kim in those videos are claiming they aren't messing with our democracy because they don't have to.
Yet, there's ample evidence that they are engaged in massive interference campaigns. So what's the real purpose of this ad campaign?
Who is the target audience for this faux-deception? People who think things are going so well that the only way they'd vote is if they were momentarily tricked into thinking Putin and Kim aren't actively attempting to influence the 2020 election? It doesn't add up.
The idea that Deepfakes, intentional deception, can be used for political good is a silly one. You won't find any renowned experts opining that US politics doesn't have enough subterfuge.
It's important to mention that the organizations behind the Deepfake Dictators campaign aren't hiding the fact that these are fake videos. They run a disclaimer at the end of them.
But even this seems a bit skeevy to me, as the disclaimer should run throughout the entirety of the clips to ensure no reasonable person could believe they were real. The people making the videos don't get to decide what bad actors do with them, but they shouldn't make it ridiculously easy for their work to be abused.
There's no good reason to try and "fool" anyone in politics anymore, especially not the voters. Ad campaigns like this are toxic and the fact that this one was created by an outfit that claims no apparent bias towards any particular candidate makes it suspicious. Why muddy the already murky water surrounding the 2020 campaign when our democracy is already drowning in propaganda?
At best, it's a misguided effort to be provocative for the sake of being provocative — "look at us, we're doing something we're not supposed to but it's for a good cause," it screams while using Deepfakes for political influence ads, the one thing every AI expert on the planet feared would happen.
But at its worst, it looks like a pointed attempt to add more noise to the election scene while simultaneously downplaying the threat of foreign election interference. And that's a bad look no matter what your original intent was.

Jolanta Altman-Radwańska z"l
Jolanta Altman-Radwańska, following a long, debilitating disease, died on 18th January 2022 in Bonn on the Rhine. In her childhood and adolescence, she was involved with the Częstochowa branch of the Social-Cultural Association of Jews in Poland (TSKŻ).
Her father was already a journalist by the inter-war period. He came from a well-known Jewish family, who had been associated with Częstochowa for over a century. Jolanta's mother came from Lublin, from a patriotic, Polish, Catholic family.
In June 2020, she recorded her memories, filled with names and facts about the years spent in the TSKŻ. Asked to comment on these recordings, her husband, initially sketched her profile, attempting to recreate and understand her extremely interesting, though complex, identity.
Professionally, Jola graduated in history at the Śląsk University in Katowice (1976). Then for eleven years, she worked scientifically, including as the head of the Research Department at the Central Museum of Prisoners of War in Opole-Łambinowice. During those years, she established contacts with a group of several dozen former Polish officers from the World War II period, examining their fate as prisoners of war.
Following the forced aggravated political situation in her country, she emigrated to Germany at the end of the 1980s. There, she resumed her work in the field in which she had begun. She continued collecting material for her doctoral dissertation at the University of Bonn, publishing numerous source articles on the fate of prisoners of war, as well as Polish, Ukrainian and Belarusian forced laborers in the Rhineland.
The network of contacts with this group of people, built up over the years, resulted in the organisation of several "Weeks of Meetings", commissioned by the City of Bonn in the years 2000-2006. These was a strong media extraction and recalling of the difficult fate of these people during their forced stay in the city during the war years.

Morehouse SGA President: "Morehouse is in a State of Confusion"
Morehouse SGA President: "Morehouse is in a State of Confusion" April 22, 2017
JL Carter Sr.Posted on April 4, 2017 April 4, 2017
Want to Know What's Happening at Howard and Morehouse? Just Look at Who's Talking
Morehouse College Student Government Association President Johnathan Hill has issued a letter to the campus community, calling for increased unity among the school's stakeholders and supporters.
The letter, published by the Morehouse Maroon Tiger Newspaper, outlines growing concerns about acrimony among the school's chairman of the Board of Trustees, Robert Davidson Jr., and the controversy surrounding the pending departure of school president John Silvanus Wilson.
Hill also cites a recent meeting with Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges President Belle Wheelan, who allegedly told a committee of Morehouse constituents that the increasing media coverage could spur a review from the accrediting body in the near future.
From the letter:
Because of student and faculty activism thus far, student and faculty trustees will participate fully in the coming board meeting, even in executive sessions as outlined in the final schedule forwarded to all trustees on this past Friday. Furthermore, in response to a formal faculty trustee request, the board is providing time on the schedule for us to discuss the current status of the Board and its relationship to Faculty and Student interests and persons."
Dr. Wilson was notified of the board's intention to not renew his contract in January, and earlier this month was the center of controversy when Davidson published a letter announcing the transition of power from Dr. Wilson to Morehouse COO William Taggart, a directive that he clarified days later as a part of Dr. Wilson's departure in June.
Morehouse faculty members voted 'no confidence' in Davidson last week.

Let's All "Run Like a Girl"
Fostering Community
Do you remember not too long ago when the term "run like a girl" was considered a slight? Well, the Rio Olympics certainly took care of that. Our daughters can now aspire to run like Christine, swim like Penny, wrestle like Erica or dive like Meaghan. In fact, our sons would do well to find inspiration in these amazing young women, too.
Comedian Bill Murray's clever Tweet, "Every Olympic event should include one average person for reference" highlights just how elite these athletes are. Simply put, they are the best in the world. But media reporting continues to diminish the performance of female athletes by sexist commentary that has no place in 2016.
I don't need to recount the incidences. Just Google "sexism Rio Olympics" and you will find multiple accounts of what Charlene Weaving, Associate Professor at St. Francis Xavier University refers to as the media's "subtle trivialization" of female athletes.
What I do want to consider is the importance of role models, not just in athletics and not just for our daughters. I'd like us to reflect upon the fact that parents, teachers, community leaders – the adults that figure largely in our children's lives – are role models that influence how children see themselves, see others, and see opportunities for their future. And the importance of our efforts is heightened in light of the media onslaught that bombards children with oftentimes stereotypical and disturbing portrayals of gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity. Simply put – their eyes are on us!
We as adults do not simply model winning (or in some cases, just giving it the 'ol college try!). We model actions, attitudes, opinions, and courage. We model what it means to speak up when we hear language that limits or diminishes females. And we model through what my grandmother referred to as our thoughts, words and deeds. The question is not, do we want to be role models. That one's not up for debate: We're role models whether we like it or not. The real question is: What do we want to model? And perhaps equally important: Are we willing to put our own words and actions (and possible biases) under a reflective microscope?
Consider tennis player Andy Murray's correction of the reporter who congratulated him for being the first Olympian to win two gold medals in tennis, obviously forgetting the incredible accomplishments of the Williams sisters who have each won four gold medals. Or Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden's respectful but firm rebuke of fellow Olympian and friend Adam Kreek's ludicrous comments about Eugenie Bouchard. Van Koeverden pointed out that female athletes certainly don't need him to come to their defense but that the sole burden of speaking up should not fall solely on the shoulders of women. "If men don't call out men when we are being sexist," van Koeverden writes, "then we are not a part of the solution, and the problem persists."
We say that Trafalgar Castle is small by design and all-girls with a purpose. Creating a school community that engenders respect, encourages healthy competition, supports risk taking, and fosters confidence must surely be a part of that all-girls' purpose. No community is immune, however, to those less-than-perfect moments that require us to speak up and speak out. Whether it be outside influences like the media that convey negative images, or the innocent off-hand comment from family or friends that reinforces gender stereotypes – "sugar and spice" anyone? – every member in our community must model a belief in equality so that our girls learn to speak up and can assume their rightful and well-deserved place in society. So this year at Trafalgar, let's all celebrate what it means to "run like a girl!"

Q: Can we conclude that this group is cyclic? Let $G$ be a finite group. If, for each positive integer $m$, the number of solutions of the equation $x^m = e$ in $G$, where $e$ is the identity element, is at most $m$, then can we conclude that $G$ is cyclic?

A: Short note. If $G$ is a $p$-group, the result is true. Indeed, if $|G|=p^k$, then if $G$ is not cyclic, it follows that every element in $G$ we have
$$x^{p^{k-1}}=e \,.$$
Thus this contradicts the statement with $m=p^{k-1}$.
Now, for abelian groups, by the structure Theorem, the group is a product of $p$ groups. Use the above result for each $p$ groups, and you are done.
In the non-abelian case, the above result shows that all the $p$-Syllow subgroups are cyclic. Moreover, $G$ can only have one $p$-syllow subgroup, otherwise you get more than $p^k$ solutions to $x^{p^k}=e$.
So the problem reduces to the following simple problem (which should be obvious, but it is not to me). If for every $p$, $G$ has an unique $p$ Syllow subgroup which is cyclic, is $G$ (abelian) cyclic?

A: Let $|G| = n$ and $m \mid n$. Define $G_m = \{g \in G : |g| = m\}$.
Suppose $G_m$ is not empty and let $g \in G_m$. By assumption, $x^m = e$ has at most $m$ solutions in $G$. Since each element of $\langle g \rangle$ is a solution, there cannot be more. From those, there are $\varphi(m)$ elements with order exactly $m$. This is a basic result on cyclic groups, where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function.
It follows that $|G_m| = \varphi(m)$ if $G_m$ is not empty. If $G_m$ is empty, then $|G_m| = 0$. In general, $|G_m| \le \varphi(m)$.
Now we have:
$$
n = |G| = \sum_{m \mid n} |G_m| \le \sum_{m \mid n}\varphi(m) = n
$$
Therefore, the inequality is in fact an equality. This shows that $|G_n| = \varphi(n) > 0$. Hence $G$ is cyclic since it contains an element of order $n$.
