Educators and Advocates Brace for Harsher Stance on Immigration Under Trump

President-elect Donald Trump campaigned on promises to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, and repeal a program that grants temporary protection to young immigrants who were illegally brought to the United States as children.
With Trump now set to take office in mid-January, immigration advocates and school officials across the nation are bracing for the prospect that he may keep his word, and undertake one of the most aggressive immigration enforcement operations in modern American history.
"Most analysts don't doubt that [Trump] will follow through in implementing a number of the harsher proposals that he's put forth," said Margie McHugh, the director of the Migration Policy Institute's National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy.
For the millions of K-12 students who are the children of undocumented immigrants, or who are undocumented themselves, the effects of the Trump administration's policies could be widespread, advocates say: disrupted home lives, separation of families, revoked deportation reprieves, and a rolling back of civil rights enforcement that has over the years exposed practices in some school districts that made it difficult for immigrants to enroll.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, commonly known as DACA, could be an initial target of the Trump administration, advocates say.
President Barack Obama ordered DACA in 2012, establishing that undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children could receive a temporary work authorization and protection from deportation. The policy offers a two-year stay to young unauthorized immigrants who can prove they meet a number of criteria, including that they came to the U.S. before age 16, have lived here for at least five years continuously, attend or graduated from high school or college, and have no criminal convictions.
Because the program was created through executive authority, the incoming president could alter or end DACA as part of his plan to crack down on illegal immigration.
Since his Nov. 8 election upset, Trump has walked back talk of immediately deporting all of the nation's estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants. In recent days, he's vowed to first round up immigrants with criminal records as his first order of business.
That would seem to offer some breathing room for so-called "Dreamers," the main beneficiaries of DACA.
"Of all the populations that one may take action against, this is the population usually thought to be at the bottom of the priority list," said McHugh of the Migration Policy Institute.
Nonetheless, civil rights organizations and immigrant advocacy groups are bracing for battles on that front and others.
"We've seen that providing education for all individuals regardless of immigration status, is something that builds our country, our communities and our economy," said Nicholas Espíritu, a Los-Angeles-based lawyer with the National Immigration Law Center. "It's essential that we continue to protect this fundamental right."
Obama has urged Trump and the incoming administration "to think long and hard before they are endangering that status of what for all practical purposes are American kids."
"They've gone to school. They have pledged allegiance to the flag. Some of them have joined the military. They've enrolled in school," Obama said at White House news conference after the election. "By definition, if they're part of this program, they are solid, wonderful young people of good character."
In the days after the election, activist Mariela Gabriela "Gaby" Pacheco, who immigrated to the U.S. from Ecuador, took to social media to encourage people to share their stories and why the president-elect should re-consider his stance on deportation. Pacheco is the program director at The Dream.US, a philanthropic organization that funds scholarships for Dreamers.
"We know and understand the anxieties that the immigrant community, and specifically the students, have," Pacheco said.
Trying to Calm Fears
U.S. Rep. Judy Chu, a California Democrat, is asking the Obama administration to shield the identities of "Dreamers."
During the application process, DACA recipients must submit sensitive information to the federal government, including relatives' home addresses. The information has been handed over with the good-faith understanding that it would not be used against them or family members, she wrote in a letter to the president.
Future administrations could abandon that agreement and use the information to carry out deportations, Chu warned.
"When we asked immigrants to come out of the shadows, we never imagined the election of a candidate who ran on a policy of mass deportation," Chu said in a statement.
Three Democratic members of Congress—U.S. Reps. Zoe Lofgren and Lucille Roybal-Allard of California and U.S. Rep. Luis Gutiérrez of Illinois—have asked Obama to issue pardons to DACA recipients for entering the country illegally or overstaying visas; a pardon would protect them from deportation, not change their immigrant status. Legal experts remain split on whether the president has the authority to do so.
Immigration is policy that hits home in Chu's district and across her home state. Of the 740,000-plus people across the country protected under DACA, about 1 in 3 are estimated to live in California.
Officials there stand ready to defy the Trump administration if it pursues an aggressive effort to deport unauthorized immigrants.
The Los Angeles Unified school board voted the week after the election to reaffirm its district policy that bars federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from school campuses without approval from the superintendent and the district's lawyers.
Amid increasing reports of post-election harassment and violence in schools, districts across the country, from New Mexico to New York state, are taking similar steps to ensure families are aware of their rights and to make them feel safe in school.
To address common questions posed by immigrant students and their families, the Denver public schools produced a fact sheet and letter recommending, among other things, that students who've already received reprieve through DACA contact immigration lawyers immediately.
As of 2014, about 3.9 million students in U.S. public and private schools, roughly 7 percent of all K-12 students, are the children of undocumented immigrants, the Washington-based Pew Research Center estimates.
Central American mothers and their children rest on the floor of a portable tent at the Humanitarian Respite Center in McAllen, Texas, last week. City leaders in McAllen say this support center saw its busiest month in October since opening two years ago, with more than 5,600 immigrants recorded arriving for assistance.

Any enforcement action taken against these parents would upend any semblance of stability for their children, both at home and school, researchers have found. A 2015 study from the Urban Institute and Migration Policy Institute found that children with deported or detained immigrant parents face difficulty accessing early education, health care, and social services.
The threat of exposing the immigration status of a family member could also discourage some students from enrolling in school, advocates say.
The U.S. departments of Justice and Education have issued very clear guidance on this topic, reminding school districts to refrain from using policies and practices that discourage students from enrolling in school because they, or their parents, may not have legal immigration status. Plyler v. Doe, the 1982 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, declared that children are entitled to receive a free public K-12 education in the United States regardless of their immigration status.
That hasn't stopped some districts from trying in more recent years, especially as unaccompanied minors, many of them fleeing poverty and violence in Central American countries, surged into some communities.
In New York state, a joint investigation in 2015 by the attorney general's office and education department found a pattern of illegal enrollment requirements, including schools that made students or their guardians present Social Security cards, across at least 20 districts. That happened despite repeated warnings from federal and state agencies.
Defiance of state and federal statutes could happen more frequently during the Trump administration, said Thomas Saenz, the president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
McHugh, with the Migration Policy Institute, said more school districts could look to read the "body language" of the president-elect's administration, gauging their willingness to monitor violations.
The Education Department often issues guidance as an implicit threat to intervene on civil rights violations. How and if that happens during the Trump administration remains unclear.
"I don't know whether we can expect that from the incoming administration," Saenz said.
Muslim Ban?
Civil rights leaders and advocates are also deeply concerned about how members of certain religious groups will be treated in a Trump administration, particularly Muslims whom the president-elect said during the campaign should be subjected to "extreme vetting" or banned outright from entering the U.S. At least one member of his presidential transition team has floated the idea of reinstating a registry system set up after the Sept. 11 terror attacks for immigrants from countries where terrorists are active. That talk has been widely condemned and called out for echoing the racist and xenophobic policies that led to the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.
This comes following a year in which hate crimes against Muslim Americans and others reached historic highs. Anti-Muslim hate crimes rose 67 percent, according to the latest numbers released in the FBI's Hate Crime Statistics report.
While there are no firm estimates showing how many students in U.S. schools are Muslim, the numbers are growing. Arabic and Somali—languages commonly spoken by Muslim students—are among the top three languages for English-learners in the nation's schools.
"Our concerns range from the apocalyptic to the benign," said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington-based Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization.
"We have students out there wondering if their families are going to be deported," Hooper said. "They want reassurance. We just don't know the answer to that right now."

The band is rounded out by Jamie King on guitar and Robbie Barnett on drums.
With this video also comes news of XXI signing with Tooth & Nail Records. Of the signing, Butcher said on behalf of the band, "we are humbled and honored to be part of the Tooth & Nail roster. We have been talking to the label for quite a while and they have continued to support us through our tragedy and grief. The fact that they are a highly respected label that we grew up listening to also adds to our excitement."

Igbo group urges Buhari to balance appointments

11 mins ago World
A GROUP, Ndigbo Cultural Society of Nigeria (NCSN), has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure equity across the nation in his political appointments.
In a statement yesterday, NCSN President, Udoka Udeogaranya, wished the Buhari administration well but regretted that of the nine appointments made so far by his presidency, "no Igbo made the list."
Noting that the development does not speak well of his government, Udeogaranya added: "In our own calculation, Ndigbo remains the largest ethnic group in Nigeria and the most industrious people in Africa, and can help any government succeed if given a level playing field.
"He needs to toe the line of former President Goodluck Jonathan, who hailed from the South-South but gave many appointments to the North West, where President Buhari is from, and concentrated his projects in the north. This same nationalistic conduct is expected of anyone that must be regarded as a true president."

Surrey is also home to Simon Fraser University Surrey is one of three Simon Fraser University campuses located in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland areas of BC, Canada. Established in the spring of 2002, SFU Surrey offers undergraduate studies in arts and social sciences, applied sciences, business administration, education, mathematics, and science; graduate and professional studies in applied sciences and education; and a number of credit and non-credit continuing education courses. 1,600 students attend classes at SFU Surrey's current campus location.

Surrey theatres attract performing arts and the city offers world-class theatres that host everything from community celebrations to tourism symphonies. Arts, sports ecotourism, agri-tourism and adventure tourism all combine to make Surrey a natural choice for family outings and a popular recreation destination for all.
When European explorers, road-builders, loggers and settlers first came to this area, the Semiahmoo and Kwantlen First Nations People had already been present for more than 6,000 years. The settlements along the mouth of the Fraser River, at Crescent Beach, at the mouth of the Campbell River and in the north along the sheltered bends of the Fraser River were well established villages and temporary or seasonal settlements.
Community life centred on a hunting and fishing; tidal resources of shellfish, river supplies of salmon, herring, and oolichans, and shorelines and forests of birds, deer, elk and bear provided ample resources to support life in the delta of the Fraser River. The Campbell, Nicomekl and Serpentine Rivers were the inland routes used for trading and communication.
The coastal waterways connected the First Nations to the surrounding communities. In 1792 Captain George Vancouver began a detailed survey of the Coast of British Columbia. He sailed with the ships Discovery and Chatham. Captain Vancouver's party saw what was the Straits Salish temporary summer camp at Cannery Point. They must have seen the frames of houses or the drying racks upon which the fishermen put their fish. The Salish did not stay at Cannery Point the year round. However, in late June, July, and August it seethed with activity. At this campsite the fishermen constructed small houses, and on the beach in front of the houses ran the drying racks, about fourteen feet high, and the whole length of the beach.
Incorporated in 1879, Surrey has a rich history of people with diverse ethnic backgrounds who have come together to make Surrey one of British Columbia's most unique communities. The land was forests of fir, cedar and hemlock, basically untouched. Logging began, the land was cleared, settlement took place and Surrey started to take shape. As you drive throughout the city take notice of heritage markers bearing the names of the early settlers to the area such as Johnston Road, Sullivan Station and Hjorth road to name a few..

Sitting in my second year of graphic design school, learning color theory with gauche and elements of design with a ruling pen (that I figured was the same tool used by cavemen in the dark ages) I thought, how is this going to help me in the design world of today? A design world ruled by computers, software and technology and not by paint and pens.
Now today, with over a decade of design experience, I have found that I fall back on those most basic of principles each and every day, because these principals remain the same, no matter what tool you use. Being an old soul deep down, I am constantly looking for ways to bridge the gap of the old ways and the new, a sort of extreme mixing of medias if you will – the X-Games of design and art. Well maybe not that extreme, let us all calm down a bit while I show you how I have taken one of the older forms of art (frottage) and brought it into the digital realm of design.
What is "frottage" you ask? It is something we all probably did in elementary school, but something that I still find interesting and so much fun. It is when you place a piece of paper on a surface and rub with some drawing medium, for example a crayon, graphite or charcoal, across it (horizontally), transferring the texture to your paper and creating an instant work of art. The fun doesn't have to stop there though as the rubbings are often used for art and other projects. Max Ernst and other Surrealist artist incorporated rubbings into their paintings by means of collage.
When I first moved to New York city from the west coast, I was overwhelmed in just about every sense. I have a nerdy curiosity for architecture, typography, color and texture, among other things. Because my limited, practically on welfare, college budget did not allow me such things as a fancy camera to record these things in my new environment, I decided to do "frottage art walks" around the city and explore all the different textures I possibly could. I once discovered over 30 different textures on a single building, and that was just on the outside. There seemed to be art everywhere I looked, it just had to be discovered, even on the dirty sidewalk.
As I made my way around Manhattan, I numbered the rubbings and kept a map, marking where each one came from. It was like a tour guide of textures by the time I was done, except I was seeing the textures instead of feeling them. I also wrote down some snippits about a few of the textures and places that I explored along the way. I made one rubbing on an escalator in Grand Central, I can still picture the looks that one got me. And the one from 'The Rock" in central park that was actually done by a curious seven year old.
After collecting more scraps of paper and journals full of frottage than would fit in my tiny Brooklyn apartment, I decided that I needed to do something with them. I began scanning them and converting them into Photoshop brushes with which I could create digital art work and collages. I have created a whole library of my own, custom Photoshop brushes and use them to this day, even though I can afford a camera now. For the super artsy people that are still following, below are short instructions on how you can convert your textures and frottage works into Photoshop brushes too.
1. Open up your scanned of photographed image in Photoshop (CS or higher).
2. Select all or part of the image that you want to use for your brush.
3. Go to Edit from your drop down menu and select 'Define Brush Preset'.
4. Give your brush a name, I used the locations from my walk around New York.
5. Now use this brush to create your new art works!

Learn how Robinson Tech effectively achieved business continuity with the rock-solid reliability of Unitrends MSP that StorageCraft lacked.
What started as a one-man operation in 2006 has become an established business with multiple technicians serving small and mid-size businesses. Dan Robinson, Founder and CEO of Robinson Tech, successfully managed to deliver high quality IT services backed with exceptional customer support.
The same growth presented a challenge when Robinson Tech wanted to move from simple data recovery to effective business continuity.
Robinson Tech opted for StorageCraft after being equally disappointed with Zenith and Datto. Backup boxes were built by Robinson Tech and the software was run from StorageCraft.
Unfortunately, the disappointment continued. Robinson Tech literally had to struggle for everything. They had to physically build their own BDR (backup/disaster recovery) to do the backups.
Furthermore, no assistance was provided during the software installation or configuration. Even if they did get a hold of support reps, they weren't much help.
Dan Robinson recounts a snarky remark made by a rep when the software failed at recovering data 'it's your box, so good luck' — the final nail in the coffin.
Robinson Tech started scouting for a StorageCraft backup alternative which led them to Unitrends MSP.
The attraction was the Linux-based storage appliance. The hardware was connected to another line of cloud backup that was provided and controlled by the vendor. This allowed Robinson Tech to install pre-built and secured boxes along with an additional cloud layer.
But, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Unitrends MSP made life easy for Robinson tech in more ways than one.
StorageCraft is an engineer's nightmare since they have to spend hours manually monitoring everything. In case of downtime, it takes several man hours to get the system up and running.
Unitrends MSP is highly proactive with alerts, keeping engineers updated at all times. That means no more manual babysitting instead, they can focus their efforts on the high value tasks.
Dedicated customer support is assigned which helps you with installing, configuring, and training to make the onboarding as smooth as possible.
StorageCraft has separate pricing for the box, the cloud backup, and other supporting services. It creates confusion, making the entire process complicated.
Unitrends MSP likes to keep things simple. That's why everything comes under one price. The pricing is terabyte-based that means no more reselling expensive hardware to your clients — just plug and use.
Robinson Tech was able to ensure quick data recovery and increase uptime, leading to reliable business continuity. Basically, the move from simple data recovery to a comprehensive one became easy as a pie.

Our motivation is to build modern, efficient, simple and clean e-commerce store fronts as well as easy to use but elegant websites and complex custom applications for both large and small business's with unbounded enthusiasm and flair.
It's very rare to find this level of expertise in one firm. Even more rare when the firm charges off-shore rates.
To date, WiseRobot have been able to create anything we have asked of them, well beyond what we thought Magento could ever be capable of.
I would recommend WiseRobot to any company looking to customize their Magento platform.
I want to pass along our appreciation to the staff at WiseRobot. Your expertise in Magento, and its integration with other platforms is invaluable to SFO.
WiseRobot turned out to be the perfect company. They understood my brief perfectly, ensured I was comfortable with proposals and produced a first class product.
WiseRobot isn't just another web design firm that specializes in Magento. Yes they helped us migrate to a multi-store Magento platform. And yes they helped us maintain our sites through countless iterations and upgrades, including an upgrade to fully responsive. But what really sets them apart is their expertise in seamlessly integrating enterprise level technologies - such as Netsuite, ChannelAdvisor, Listrak, Yotpo and Nextopia - with Magento. It's very rare to find this level of expertise in one firm. Even more rare when the firm charges off-shore rates.
WiseRobot has been our sole developer for the past 3+ years. They have worked with us through the entire project lifecycle, including: inception, creation, debugging, launch, and post-launch analytics and adjustments. They provide timely and consistent updates as to their progress throughout the development cycle. This allows our staff to view progression along the way, and make any needed adjustments promptly. WiseRobot has been tasked with squashing the smallest bug to major site overhauls, including: responsive template design, redesigned checkout flow, PayPal integration and in-store pickup. And their efforts have continued to pay off, with all KPIs continually seeing double-digit growth month over month. To date, WiseRobot have been able to create anything we have asked of them, well beyond what we thought Magento could ever be capable of.
I would recommend Wiserobot to any company looking to customize their Magento platform. As a developer myself, I not only want the job to be done, but I want it to be completed with best practices in mind, and to the exact specifications we require. Their team of development wizards certainly meet and exceed this expectation. The level of communication with us has been impressive considering that they're 12 hours ahead of us – which has an added benefit of knowing that a talented group of developers is plowing through code while we're sleeping.
I want to pass along our appreciation to the staff at WiseRobot. Your expertise in Magento, and its integration with other platforms is invaluable to SFO. By upgrading our site, and installing many of your custom extensions WiseRobot saved us both time and money. Your patience and willingness to go the extra mile in making sure everything is working correctly, is very much appreciated.
Working with WiseRobot these last few years has been the biggest project our organization has ever initiated and now we are have 16 live stores in 4 different countries, all run by one single Magento install. This required a lot of specially developed modules particularly to make our deep API integrations work across multiple accounting systems, credit card gateways and to make our shops truly local. When taking on such a huge system as ours, we worked closely together with the WiseRobot team to eliminate bugs whenever they occur. While working on our responsive platform and pushing the limits of the Magento systems capabilities, bugs do appear but they never last for long, thanks to our great cooperation with the WiseRobot team.
We at Badgeland live off good SEO and it takes more and more effort to stay at the number one spot in Google Search. WiseRobot understands this (not all development agencies do) and have implemented all our ideas, fast and with a great results. We would highly recommend them to anyone working on complex integrations, which every online store innevitably must to do these days.
As we are able to have direct communication with the WiseRobot programmers via Planbox, email and Skype, the physical distance between our teams does not impact the performance at all.
Sometimes we come up with quite innovative solutions that we want implemented, and with the support of WiseRobot we can get them up and running on our site at a remarkable speed. WiseRobots creativity and professionalism has truly been an asset for us over the last few years.
I researched far and wide to find someone that could build a website for me. Coming out of central government in the UK it was very important to work with someone that could interpret the subtlety of how I wished to be portrayed. WiseRobot turned out to be the perfect company. They understood my brief perfectly, ensured I was comfortable with proposals and produced a first class product. I now have a diverse set of roles on the boards of different organisations and they have understood perfectly the need to ensure my website has currency in many different sectors. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Wiserobot has been outstanding to deal with during our Magento EE <-> Channel Advisor integration. We have several unique setups (multi-store, multi-brand, multi-parent/child relationships) in our company and they've helped us work through each and every challenge we encountered. While hesitant to deal with any new overseas development partner at the outset – their work and our relationship to date leaves me no reason to hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a similar solution.

Pennsylvania Dutch Whoopie Pies Inspired by the memoir 'An American Childhood'
Wednesday, 27 January, 2021
Food and drinks are some of the easiest ways — and the most fun— to vicariously experience another culture. When you add a great book to the mix, you've got the makings of a perfect evening. In Food+Fiction, we recommend a delicious read and a related recipe so you can try the taste of different destinations in your own kitchen.
This post is part of our Food+Fiction series.
Celebrate the simpler, pleasurable things in life with a rousing account of a 1950s childhood and a sweet treat that represents the vast farmland of Pennsylvania. Great stories and whoopie pies are cause for celebration.
In Pulitzer Prize-winner Annie Dillard's memoir An American Childhood, we're transported to the Pittsburgh of her childhood. In the 1950s, its downtown was a vibrant blend of big city and hometown charm. We explore Dillard's external world and her internal landscape, joining in as she indulges in daydreams about the French and Indian War, a passion for drawing, and intense fascination with rocks, bugs, and the French symbolists.
Lyrical and engaging, her almost-essays are a celebration of an all-American childhood in a different America than we inhabit today. It's nostalgic and celebratory — just the right amount of sweetness and light with enough edge to keep things interesting.
Which brings us to… whoopie pies.
They, too, are a sweet treat with a mildly contentious history. Although states including Maine, Massachusetts, Virginia, and New Hampshire all claim to be the birthplace of the whoopie pie, we're awarding that distinction to Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Dutch Convention & Visitors Bureau says that the whoopie pie originated with the Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch people of eastern Pennsylvania. In that community, recipes are passed down through generations, not via written records, but by teaching them in the kitchen. According to Amish legend, when kids found the cookies in their lunch bags, they shouted, 'Whoopie!' And that's how the dessert got its name.
In western Pennsylvania, these sandwich cookies are known as 'gobs,' perhaps because lumps of coal were called 'gob piles.' The little cakes — with frosting on the inside instead of the outside — resembled small lumps of coal hence the name gobs. Back in the day, Gobs were commercially produced by the now-defunct Harris & Boyar Bakery in Morrellville. The company most likely adapted a Pennsylvania Dutch recipe, which itself was based on a recipe from medieval Germany.
So how did a German-Amish-Pennsylvania Dutch dessert makes its way to New England? Food historians believe it can be traced to Yummy Book, a 1930s cookbook published to promote the Durkee Mower Company, the manufacturer of Marshmallow Fluff. (The company still offers an online version.) Their recipe for 'Amish Whoopie Pie' used marshmallow in the filling in place of butter or shortening. As any true Pennsylvanian and whoopie pie aficionado will tell you, this is sacrilege.
This recipe is based on a typical Amish recipe with one exception: It replaces the standard vegetable shortening in the filling with butter. Butter makes everything better. Whoopie!

Whoopie Pies
Makes 6. Total time: 1 hour.
Cakes:
4 ounces (1 stick) butter (at room temp)
1/2 cup cocoa
NOTE: To make these gluten-free, replace the all-purpose flour with 2 cups gluten-free flour blend plus 2 teaspoons potato starch.
3 large egg whites
8 ounces (2 sticks) butter (at room temp)
Prep. Preheat oven to 350F/175C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the cakes. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until light and creamy. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, flour, and cocoa. Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients and 1/3 of the buttermilk to the butter mixture; blend well. Continue to alternate and mix until it's all incorporated.
Scoop the cakes. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop out the batter and place them about 6 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake until the tops are puffed, and the cakes spring back when you gently poke them, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before filling.
Cook the egg whites. Fill the bottom half of a double boiler (or a medium saucepan) with 1-2 inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. In the top half of the double boiler (or a metal/glass bowl), combine the egg whites and sugar. Place over the simmering water and whisk just until sugar is dissolved and the temperature reaches 180F/82C on an instant-read thermometer.
Make the buttercream. Transfer the egg whites to a mixing bowl. Using a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and sugar on high until they double in volume. They should look thick and shiny. Continue to whisk until the mixture cools. Reduce the speed to medium and add the butter, about 2 teaspoons at a time, until all the butter is incorporated. Add the vanilla and salt. HEADS UP: If the mixture looks curdled, keep whisking until it's smooth. Crank up the speed to high and whisk for another minute.
Assemble! With a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop 1/4 cup filling on the flat side of the cakes, spreading the buttercream to the edges. Top each with another cake to make a sweetly delicious sandwich. Shouting whoopie is recommended but optional.
To store: Place the whoopie pies in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also individually wrap them and pop 'em into the freezer for future dessert emergencies.
Now we sat in the dark dining room, hushed. The big snow outside, the big snow on the roof, silenced our words and the scrape of our forks and our chairs. The dog was gone, the world outside was dangerously cold, and the big snow held the houses down and the people in. Behind me, tall chilled windows gave out onto the narrow front yard and the street. A motion must have caught my mother's eye; she rose and moved to the windows, and father and I followed. There we saw the young girl, the transfigured Jo Ann Sheehy, skating along under the streetlight. She was turning on ice skates inside the streetlight's yellow cone of light — illuminated and silent. She tilted and spun… Distant over the street, the night sky was moonless and foreign, a frail, bottomless black, and the cold stars speckled it without moving. — Annie Dillard
An American Childhood
by Annie Dillard
The sentences crackle with energy in Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Dillard's memoir of growing in 1950s Pittsburgh. Buckle up for a rollicking trip through her childhood with writing so good, it might make you nostalgic for your own hometown. Dillard's powers of observation and recall — and, perhaps, imagination — are shocking. She nails what it's like to be a child of five and 10 and 15. To feel the wonder and fear and beauty of waking up to the world. {more}
This vivid memoir (272 pages) was published in January of 1989 by Harper & Row Publishers. The book takes you to 1950s Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. David read An American Childhood and loved it; it wouldn't be on our site if he didn't recommend it.

Carbon has introduced a selection of production parts it has digitally manufactured for Ford Motor Company using its additive manufacturing technology.
The parts were showcased by the partners at the Additive Manufacturing for Automotive Workshop at the 2019 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. They include Ford Focus heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) lever arm service parts, Ford F-150 Raptor auxiliary plugs, and Ford Mustang GT500 electric parking brake brackets.
For Carbon, it is another demonstration of the aptitude of its technology in manufacturing end-use components in a real industrial setting, but also points to the potential of digital production tools throughout the automotive sector.


A change in direction for the Peter Grant series. Peter's out of London and without his mentor Nightingale. As well as this the story is one of two missing children, which adds an urgency to the pace of events. As you'd expect there is a strong supernatural element to the story, with an interesting twist in it. Only Peter and Beverley Brook really feature through the story, Nightingale bookends it and there is minor contact with Dr Walid at one point. All the rest of the characters are locals from West Mercia.
Out on his own Peter develops as a character. He's a lot more self-reliant and capable, he doesn't have any magical backup so deals with what he finds himself. The background is also expanded a bit, Peter meets one of the other survivors of the mysterious Ettersberg and finds out some more of what it was about, although there is still a lot of mystery surrounding it.
The main plot is well done. The parents are well observed and clues are dropped in without being too obvious. The countryside gets a good treatment too via a local police officer liaison. You get a really good sense of it being a real rural community with its own ways, which makes it different from a London based story. This isn't just a lift and shift out of the city for the sake of it, the story needs to be in the countryside and feels like it is authentically there. It also allows the background expansion because it is just the sort of place that you would expect a burnt out survivor of Ettersberg to settle for the peace and quiet.
I'm pretty sure that it would work on its own, but there is a minor plot thread through it that definitely follows on from the previous book. However this isn't central to the story (although I suspect it will be to the next one).
I'd certainly like to have seen some more of some of the elements. There is a hanging question around the grand-daughter of the Ettersberg survivor and also more could have been made of what happened at Ettersberg too.

Why Sending a Check to Every American Is an Absolute Must Right Now
The coronavirus relief package cannot come soon enough and be large enough as Americans and small businesses are suffering today.
By Sharon Poczter, Chair of the strategy and entrepreneurship department, Yeshiva University@sharonpoczter
With the President's signature on the newly minted $2 trillion emergency coronavirus spending bill, the most urgent part of the legislation--at least as far as individuals go--is worth a deeper look.
Under the landmark coronavirus stimulus bill, dubbed the CARES Act, an estimated $250 billion is being set aside for direct payments to individuals and families. Every individual earning less than $75,000 income is expected to receive a direct payment of $1,200, with more going to famililies and a stipend for each additional child. The effort is intended to provide short term relief to Americans losing work as a result of the pandemic. While this idea seems similar to the universal basic income (UBI) popularized by entrepreneur and former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang earlier this year, this policy response is profoundly different. Here's why:
Comparison to Universal Basic Income
First, the starkest difference to universal basic income is that the intent and execution of this is temporary. While the cash transfers may extend beyond the scope of this month and next, they do not represent a permanent plan. The permanent monthly checks proposed by UBI changes the incentive structure of the economy, while this temporary infusion is meant to prevent hopefully temporary circumstances from becoming permanent.
Second, Yang's UBI was also meant to be funded through a value added tax, which would have had a disproportionate negative affect on small businesses and poorer consumers who would have had a harder time absorbing the additional costs. The cash transfers from the coronavirus recovery bill, on the other hand, will be funded and managed by the Treasury, and will not ask small businesses and consumers to pick up the bill.
Perhaps the only similarity to UBI is that if we really want to subsidize income in this case, $1,000 may not be enough. Median weekly income in the U.S. is about $1,000 and most Americans save little, so the government should hopefully realize that a substantial amount larger is needed to smooth income.
The coronavirus recovery bill also provides help for small businesses, providing federally guaratneed loans at community banks to be used for worker retention that would be forgiven after the crisis subsumes if the money was used for payroll. This also crucial for the American economy, as small businesses are responsible for almost half of private sector jobs and drive job growth in the United States. Small with little cash reserves and no ability to move online are particularly vulnerable as almost all non-essential businesses across the entire nation are or will be on lockdown soon.
Why this economic fallout is different
However, it is unclear that these proposals will be enough. The economy needs an almost unprecedented response because we are in unprecedented territory. First, this economic shock is escalating faster than others. While the Great Recession seemed sudden as well, the contagion from the financial sector to the non-financial sector actually occurred over many months. This time around, however, the government has less time to respond.
Second, at this point it is almost impossible to project the scale of who will be affected. While the first order unemployment is obvious, other jobs are at risks that are less obvious to predict. Besides the direct industries that will be affected (travel, leisure, recreation), anyone on a sales commission predicated with brick and mortar sales -- from car salesmen to real estate brokers -- will be compromised. And to that end, car manufacturers and real estate developers will also feel the crunch of the pandemic.
We also don't know right now how long this will last and how long it will take to return to normalcy. While the hope is that since this is an outside shock as opposed to a financial shock exposing the vulnerabilities in our system, it will be much more temporary. Soon, a vaccine and treatments will surface (we hope). However, even in the best case scenario, consumers will need time to readjust. There will likely be a heavy skepticism around travel, for instance, hurting related business for a prolonged period of time.
What is the Hope with this Policy?
With all of this uncertainty, what we need now is a swift, large, clear government response, particularly to protect the most vulnerable Americans (e.g. wage workers) and small businesses, in order to contain the economic fallout. Economic crises are similar to viruses as they can easily spread from one part of the economy to another. The government response, therefore, needs to rely on both short-term help such as these cash transfers and short term loans, as well as longer term strategies such as loan extensions and forgiveness to small businesses. The same way we are hoping to contain the virus, policy should aim to contain the economic fallout.
This is a moment in history for the government and policy makers, science, health professionals, and humanity in general to shine. The most important thing the government can do right now is provide certainty and stability. It is worth recalling that looking back, most analysts wish the 2009 $800 billion stimulus package had been larger, not smaller. It is very rare to say that the government did too much, too fast, to respond to a crisis. It's time to get moving.

Director Biography - Brad Cooper
Brad Cooper and Rachel Kann have been collaborating on film projects for over five years. Brad Cooper is a world-class cinematographer and music producer as well as film director.
Director Statement
From Rachel Kann - writer, lead performer and co-creator:
"The Quickening" is a labor of love: the first spoken-word visual album. Because of this, it defies categorization and doesn't easily fit into a box. It is a series of music video-style vignettes which, together, create a journey toward transcendence starting from the bottom of the sea and ending at the Pleiades star cluster. My hope is that watching this film will be an experience of empowerment that is more like a ceremony than a traditional narrative experience, and that it leaves you feeling hopeful and inspired.


Melbourne City FC's international marquee Robert Koren trained with the side for the first time on Monday as the former Slovenian international met his new teammates.
Koren — who landed on Saturday and used Sunday to meet with Melbourne City FC CEO Scott Munn and Head Coach John van't Schip — arrived to training on Monday looking to start his pre-season with the Club on the front foot.
The new signing trained strongly and showed plenty of potential, indicating that his choice to join Melbourne City FC was to help take the Club to the next level.
"I came here to help the team, help the Club, to take the club to another level and I will train hard every day. Hopefully I can help the team reach what we want to reach at the end of the season," Koren said.
"My contract was running out at Hull City so I got a call from my agent that Melbourne City were interested to sign me, so I was looking for something new, something different.
Melbourne City FC's new number 10 showed little side affects from the weekend's travel, being put through an intense session.
"I enjoyed it, it was a hard session for me because I was out of training for two months. I did a lot of individual sessions but when the ball is involved, it's a different kind of training, but I enjoyed it," Koren said.
The attacking midfielder spent last season at Hull City in the English Premier League, making 22 appearances and scoring twice in The Tiger's 6-0 thumping of Fulham last December.

Some of my favorite Music
Just a couple of songs I wanted to share that I have found and often enjoy from YouTube.
Most everybody in the world are now using Youtube for something, besides "How To" videos my most common choice is Music. I love the YouTube RED, I make a list of my favorites and the run non-stop with NO commercials. This is a song I found in November of 2016, It's from the group Sounds From The Ground, the title is Lean on Me Afterhours Remix.
Some have told me it's too dark, and those who are old enough to remember American Bandstand, it might only get a "2" because it's hard to dance to. I say you just have to feel the vibe.
WikiPedia say's the band originated from London England
More from WikiPedia:
Sounds from the Ground (SFTG) is an English electronic music duo formed in 1995. Both members Nick Woolfson and Elliot Jones met through their involvement with the underground music scene in London. Their style has been described as ambient dub-techno by musical critic Jason Birchmeier (es). According to Birchmeier, the compositions were "meticulously crafted downtempo (…) with a combination of analog and digital gear".[1]
Here is another song that dates me but that's ok, the song is timeless and wonderful.
Some of the Millennials may not recognize it at first but it's wonderful. Give it a listen and see if you have heard it before.
Did you get it, don't you love it…..

I really like this photo I found on WikiPedia, here is the opening details of this WikiPedia page. "Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE (born 18 June 1942) is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer. With John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, he gained worldwide fame with the rock band the Beatles, the most popular and influential group in the history of pop music. His songwriting partnership with Lennon is the most celebrated of the 20th century. After the band's break-up, he pursued a solo career and formed the band Wings with his first wife, Linda, and Denny Laine."
Ok, one more that almost nobody will know.
QuickSilver's song Fresh Air is from the drug induced days of 1970, I know, not the 60's but it came from the spirit of the 60's, no dought about that.

I got one of the most awesome presents a dad could get for Fathers Day, not one but two custom coffee mugs from my two boys! Owen and Brandon each made me a mug at daycare and had them wrapped all nicely, of course they could hardly wait until Fathers Day to let me know what they made me.
They each had their name on the bottom and included the year for me to remember. Brandon had to have help writing his name out but Owen did it all by himself, too cute!
Owen also made sure to let me know just how he feels and just like his hugs it goes all the way around! The cool thing is just above the last d in dad, is a spot for me to place my lips when I am sipping my morning coffee!

How Accessible Is the Data on Your Phone?
EmdenLaw / 0 Comments /
By Maya Kushner, Esq.
Emdenlaw has explained in a previous article that in order for police to search the data on your cell phone, they must first obtain a search warrant. But once a proper search warrant is executed, and your phone is seized, how much data can the police really see?
Most people have their phones protected by passcodes, and the easiest way to access your phone is to know this passcode. If the police demand that you provide them with the passcode, do you have to give it to them? Courts have not yet answered this question definitively, but the answer is likely "no," because this forced revelation would violate the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Amendment states, in relevant part, that "[n]o person… shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." This prohibition applies not only during trial, but also during investigation: police cannot compel you to produce documents that will allow them to charge you with a crime.
Interestingly, the courts have made a distinction between compelling a person to do a physical act versus compelling the production of a document or communication. The former does not violate the Fifth Amendment, while the latter does. For example, the courts have found that forcing a suspect to write a sentence so that his handwriting can be compared to that on a ransom note is not a violation of the Fifth Amendment, because the police are compelling a mere physical act. However, compelling a suspect to turn over previous drafts of the ransom note would likely be deemed a violation.
So if you are asked to hand over your passcode, are police compelling a mere physical act? The answer is: probably not. In a number of cases, the U.S. Supreme Court has distinguished between compelling a suspect to hand over a key to a lock box and compelling the suspect to reveal a code to a safe. The Court found that handing over a key is a mere physical act and therefore does not violate the Fifth Amendment, while revealing a code requires the use of the suspect's mind, or in some cases even compels the creation of a document that has not previously existed (if the suspect memorized the code and has never before written in down). Thus compelled revelation of a code represents impermissible self-incrimination. Your cellphone passcode is likely more akin to a safe code, rather than a physical key (especially if it's not written down and exists only in your mind), therefore even with a warrant or a subpoena, the police likely may not compel you to reveal your passcode.
However, the existence of a passcode alone will probably not deter the police. They can still serve a search warrant on Apple or Google (for Android devices), requesting the passcode. While it's unclear whether Apple or Google has ever provided the police with these passcodes, there are a number of cases in which these companies have turned over the contents of the phone (without revealing the passcode). Furthermore, if your phone's data is backed up in the cloud, the search warrant can target that back-up data directly, without asking for physical access to the phone.
Police can also try to hack into your phone once they are lawfully in possession of the device. Many commercial forensic analysis tools are available that can crack PINs, passwords, and pattern locks. There are also less "techy" ways of forcing your way into a phone. For example, if the phone uses a pattern lock, you may be able to guess the pattern by the finger smudges the owner left on the screen. Android phones also offer the option for you to log into your phone using your email address and associated password if you have "forgotten" the pattern lock, and police may already be in possession of your email/password by the time they obtain your phone.
Encryption may be a good option to protect your data, but it's not a fool-proof method and your data may still be susceptible to extraction with the proper forensic analysis tools. Further, handing over your encryption key may become the subject of a legal battle just like handing over your passcode.
You may try to find peace of mind by wiping your phone (in person or remotely). iPhones, for example, can be set to automatically wipe all data after 10 incorrect passcode attempts have been made. This, you may think, will prevent the police from "brute forcing" your passcode for fear that once they guess the passcode, they will find an empty phone. However, wiping the phone simply by restoring it to factory settings does not actually remove any of the data. The process only removes the directory, or list of "addresses" of the data (for example, the address to locate and view a specific photo or a specific text message), but leaves the actual data completely intact on the phone. Think of it this way: every house has an address, and those addresses are listed in the White Pages. If you burn the White Pages, you lose the specific addresses, but the houses are still there. This is exactly what happens when you wipe your phone: the directory is gone but the data remains, and this data can be extracted fairly easily. In order to demonstrate that restoring a phone to factory setting does not actually delete the data, the security firm Avast purchased 20 "wiped" smartphones from Ebay and used publicly available forensic tools to extract their data. Avast was able to recover a staggering amount of data, including 1,000 Google searches, 750 emails and text messages, and 250 photos of what the company described as "the previous owner's manhood."
The only way to delete your data forever is to overwrite it with something else, and you currently have to do this yourself, because the "Erase All Content and Settings" option on your phone does not mean what you think it means.

Hachi's sensible, no-nonsense best friend. Junko is much more emotionally mature than Hachi and often pushes her to be more independent and responsible. She's the host of the omake (bonus) section at the end of each manga volume, reading fan mail and displaying fan art. She's often called "Jun-chan" by Hachi.
Junko's boyfriend who currently shares an apartment with her. He's also good friends with Hachi and Shoji. His laid-back attitude to life may deem him a slacker in the eyes of many, but he's actually quite perceptive and he coddles Hachi more than Junko would like. Both him and Junko are studying to become artists (his art being Romantic and hers being Post-Modernistic).

I just love Christmas time!
Yes, the blog is a little slow these days.
But I'm having lots of fun on Instagram.
Here's a small sample of my latest photos, hope you like it!
The weather was nice and cool.
And I had my first glass of wine in almost 2 years... perfectly peaceful.
I'm Portuguese but I live in Denmark with my Danish husband and our mini viking. I'm an architect by formation and an 'amateur' of interior design, photography and cooking (and eating). This blog is a collage of thoughts and images that inspire me - my life as a moodboard.
Not all images on this blog are mine, but they are all credited and linked back to the source. If you wish to use some of my personal photos, please be kind and do the same.

You can use matrices to manipulate colors in Flash. Before Flash 8, the only way you could manipulate colors was by varying the red, green, and blue channel values in the Color object. In Flash 8, ColorMatrixFilter (flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter) gives you greater control on a much more granular scale.
ColorMatrixFilter accepts a 4 x 5 matrix (20-element array). Figure 4 shows the identity matrix for ColorMatrixFilter.
As you can see, the values in the first row determine the resulting red value, the second row the green value, the third row the blue value, and the fourth row the alpha value. You can also see that the values in the first four columns are multiplied with the source red, green, blue, and alpha values, respectively—while the fifth column value is added (offset). Note that the source and result values for each channel range between 0 and 255. So even though the resulting value of red, green, or blue can be greater than 255 or less than 0, the values are constrained to this range. I'll illustrate how this works with a few examples.
If you want to add 100 to the red channel (offset), set a to a value of 100 (see Figure 5).
If you want to double the green channel, set a to 2 (see Figure 6).
If you want the amount of red in the source image to dictate the blue value in the result image, set a to 1 and a to 0 (see Figure 7).
To change the brightness of an image, you need to change the value of each color channel by an equal amount. The simplest way to do this is to offset the source value in each channel. Use an offset greater than 0 to increase brightness and a value less than 0 to reduce brightness. Figure 8 shows an example of increasing the brightness.
You can also change brightness proportionally by multiplying each color channel by a value greater than 1 to increase brightness and a value less than 1 to reduce brightness.
In theory, to convert an image to grayscale, you need to have equal parts of each color channel. Because there are three channels, you can multiply the value of each channel by 0.33 and sum them to get the resultant value (see Figure 9).
Due to the relative screen luminosity of the different color channels, however, there are actually specific "luminance coefficient" values that give a more true grayscale image. For example, if you take a block of pure green in Photoshop and put it beside a block of pure blue, and then grayscale the image, you'll see that the formerly green block is a much lighter shade of gray than the formerly blue one.
Using ColorMatrixFilter together with an understanding of matrices, you can perform complex color adjustments in addition to brightness and grayscale. Adjusting contrast, saturation, and hue are all possible in Flash 8. Although a discussion of these topics is beyond the scope of this article, suffice it to say that Flash 8 provides access to color manipulation in a way that was never possible in any previous version.


The final team for the 2016 World Championships semifinals has been set as Europe's H2k. In the last quarterfinal at the historic Chicago Theatre before heading to New York's Madison Square Garden next week for the final four, H2k took a quick 3-0 win over CIS champion and wildcard region representative Albus Nox Luna.
ANX got through the group stages with well-coordinated team play and eccentric champion pools that gave it an advantage over its international opponents. Sunday, though, in a best-of-five setting and after H2k had time to review ANX's seven group stage games, the European League Championship Series club was ready for everything its opponent could throw its way.
During the series, each game started pretty much the same way: the two sides trading well in the laning phase, and ANX even keeping up with the in-lane powerhouse of H2k for a little while. But, right when it felt like ANX had a chance, the rubber band stretching back and forth would break, and H2k would accumulate a gigantic advantage from mistakes by the wildcard team.
Game one, it was Andrei "Odoamne" Pascu's Jayce getting the early lead by picking up a succession of kills to begin a power spike that Albus Nox had no answer for. In the second, it was ANX attempting to pull off an odd-man advantage gank in the bottom lane, but a lack of cohesion between everyone involved led to H2k picking up another four kills to only one for ANX and the beginning of the end for the underdogs. For the final game of the series, it was the mid lane this time that put the nail in the coffin for ANX, with H2k's Ryu "Ryu" Sang-wook grabbing a pair of solo kills against Michael "Kira" Garmash on Syndra vs Zilean to effectively put the series out of reach once and for all.
ANX did its best to turtle and fight back with nifty counter-attacks when permitted, but it wasn't enough. Each game it fell down early and was never able to get its footing before it was too late, and H2k was already taking all the secondary tier turrets and taking vision over Baron. There were moments where H2k could have played the map cleaner, like when it allowed ANX to take an inhibitor when it was up 10k gold in the mid game, yet the EU LCS squad was still too big to fail by then.
H2k will now go on to play South Korea's Samsung Galaxy in the second semifinal next Saturday night in New York City. The winner of that series will play the winner of the first semifinal between SK Telecom T1 and ROX Tigers a week later on October 29th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
H2k will also attempt to be the first European team since Fnatic and Against All Authority in the inaugural World Championships to make the final. South Korea will be sending a representative to the final for the fifth year in a row, and if Samsung Galaxy beats H2k, a second year in a row where the last contest for the Summoner's Cup is an all-Korean affair.
