I Am Worried About Jonathan
Jonathan Pollard saved millions of human beings in the Middle East and worldwide from excruciating deaths and painful lifelong physical disabilities. To do that, Pollard sacrificed his freedom.

Jonathan PollardPollard Affair
Documents recently released to the National Security Archives at George Washington University provide us, for the first time, with the details of the espionage activities that have made Jonathan Pollard the most controversial and hated figure in the U.S. intelligence community.
The CIA report reveals that Pollard did not procure secrets about the United States. The intelligence Pollard provided his Israeli handlers consisted of the information that Washington had acquired concerning Arab states.
The report shows that the US government has lied to the public about key issues in the Pollard case for years. Jonathan was put away for life because he irritated US Arab allies who felt that Israel had been too much strengthened; and second because Pollard made Israel impervious to American pressure. What Pollard endangered was the US administration's pro-Arab political agenda, not the intelligence community.
Pollard spied for Israel, not against the United States.
The CIA document shows that Pollard focused on "Arab (and Pakistani) nuclear intelligence; Arab weaponry, including chemical weapons; Soviet aircraft; Soviet air defences; Soviet air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface missiles; and Arab order-of-battle, deployments, readiness".
Pollard passed Israel photos of the PLO headquarters in Tunis, secret information about Libya's air defenses, Syrian chemical weapons, Egyptian ballistic missile capabilities, and the Pakistani atomic program.
"I was the eyes and the ears of Israel in a geographic region going from the Atlantic to the Indian ocean", Pollard said from his jail. In his report of the Pollard affair, entitled "Territory of Lies",
Wolf Blitzer describes the content of information provided by the spy to Israel during the years 1984-85, as follows:
"For example, he (Pollard) obtained the most exact U.S. gathered information about Iraqi ... chemical warfare production capabilities, including detailed satellite pictures and maps showing the location of factories and storage facilities. The United States did not want to make such specific information available, fearing a preemptive strike ... The first documents Pollard gave Israel, and which so impressed his handlers, involved the details of Iraq's chemical warfare factories".
Pollard was wrong, he readily confessed, to pass intelligence to Jerusalem. But he had asked colleagues why they terminated vital intelligence to Israel. And getting no answer, he felt compelled to act.
For his contribution to Israel's security and for his long suffering in prison, Israelis should consider Pollard a national hero. He is recognized as the source of the country's preparedness for the Iraqi missile attacks during the Gulf War, when Saddam Hussein's Scud rockets began to rain down on Tel Aviv, and Israelis wore gas masks.
Why did Israel stockpile several million gas masks for the protection of the entire population? Because of Pollard.
Twenty-two countries were transferring nuclear, chemical and biological weapons technology to Arab states – in particular Iraq. This was six years before the Gulf War, six years before Saddam Hussein would try to get himself into the history books as "the man who wiped out Israel".
Jonathan Pollard, who now lives in a place where they lock you in a room and throw away the key, warned Israel of Iraq's bellicose intentions, and that Syria's Assad was amassing vast quantities of chemical and other unconventional weapons. Rolf Ekeus, head of the UN team investigating Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, told the German newsmagaine Der Spiegel that Iraqi bombs loaded with deadly bacteria were ready for use. Saddam didn't use them for fear of massive retaliation. Had he carried the promised chemical warheads, Israel would have been ready. Just because of Pollard.
By its own agreement with Israel, the US administration should have given this information to Jerusalem. But it was deliberately blocked by then-secretary of state Caspar Weinberger, who later said Pollard should be shot.
"It would have been an outright betrayal of my heritage, my personal integrity and an entire family lost in the ovens of the Holocaust if I had simply taken the safe route and closed my eyes to what had to be done", said Pollard.
As Pollard wrote from prison one year before the Gulf war: "The same gas which the Nazis used to murder our European brethren could just as easily be used today by the Arabs to exterminate the Jewish population of Israel. Was I really expected to just let history repeat itself without doing anything to protect our people from such a calamity? Granted, I broke the law. But, to tell you the truth, I'd rather be rotting in prison than sitting shiva for the hundreds of thousands of Israelis who could have died because of my cowardice. Have the fires of the concentration camps grown so cold that people have forgotten that six million Jews were butchered while the whole world looked on in silence? I just could not walk away from the intelligence embargo and pretend that it didn't exist. I had to act."
Jonathan Pollard intentionally saved millions of human beings in the Middle East and worldwide from excruciating deaths and painful lifelong physical disabilities. To do that Pollard betrayed the trust of the U.S. Government, destroyed his family, and sacrificed his freedom.
I don't know how many people, expecially out of Israel, would dare to risk so much for the safety of their own people.
Now the question is: Why are the Jews saved by Pollard keeping shamefully silent on his fate, except for the few actively fighting for his freedom? Will they let Pollard die in prison like another hero, Raoul Wallenberg, the Jews' savior in the Holocaust?
Pollard is in the 28th year of a life sentence with no pardon in sight.
A few years after their son's imprisonment, Maurice and Molly declared: "Jonathan has been abandoned". It's hard to forget Pollard being banished from the Israeli embassy ("Anne and I feel as if we're aboard one of those cattle cars pulling up to the separation platform at Auschwitz, while all about us the Jewish community just sits like mute spectators awaiting the fall of the ax").
I think to this humble Jew who has spent 9.900 days in jail. Pollard has been abominably treated. He should be freed. Now. I am worried that he might find in jail the fate of the Swedish hero.


Parents work together with their kids in quite a lot of different ways, and these styles of interplay change as the youngster ages and turns into more unbiased and autonomous. She performed a sequence of research that checked out people's approach to parenting primarily based on the demands they placed on their children and their responsiveness to their kids' wants, and recognized three main parenting types. Much of the popular literature on parenting is predicated on the premise that parents have no idea how greatest to boost their youngsters, and that they have to be educated to adopt the perfect strategies. Developing a parenting type is a singular means for each particular person to resolve how they'll increase their youngsters.
Permissive parenting is when the mother or father want s to be a toddler's good friend than the child's boss. One the first quiz I scored a 197 and on the Myer's Briggs Character Take a look at my kind is ENTJ. Kids raised with this parenting fashion are inclined to have low self-esteem and little self-confidence and seek other, typically inappropriate, position models to substitute for the neglectful mum or dad. Permissive parenting often leads to kids who have low self worth, low happiness and self-regulation. You possibly can read about the totally different parenting types and what the feedback is for every of them, making it simpler so that you can perceive and resolve any variations you might have with your accomplice.
Researchers may hone in on causation by tracking child growth over time, and on the lookout for evidence of change. In lots of conditions, adoption of a versatile and warm authoritative parenting fashion is most beneficial for a child's social, intellectual, moral and emotional development. This parenting type typically ends in well-adjusted college students that interact with others nicely, perform at above average ranges and self-motivate as they get older and start to expertise new obstacles in life. The way in which you provide these needs is decided by your parenting model philosophy.
What it is: Authoritarian parenting is characterised by inflexible guidelines and excessive calls for made by parents. Parents now fear more concerning the impact of their parenting on their children, feeling pressured to supply a stream of stimulating actions in a method that may have once seemed absurd. This type of parenting leads to obedient youngsters, however they're often much less spontaneous and curious — and they usually rank lower in the areas of happiness, social abilities and shallowness.
If you end up utilizing or considering phrases like, You might not like me however you will respect me," or do it now or else you won't see your phone all weekend," you may need Authoritarian parenting tendencies. Children parented this way could have low vanity and really feel resentful and angry which ends up in sneaky, unhealthy conduct when the guardian isn't round. Parenting styles have developed over the years, with new ones comparable to 'Helicopter parenting' and 'Free-vary parenting' added to the list. Time-out is an effective form of punishment that is nonetheless used in the present day by many dad and mom.

Two 16-year-olds appear in court for the murder of their Spanish teacher
Two Iowa teenagers accused of killing their 66-year-old Spanish teacher have pleaded not guilty, according to reports.
The human remains of Nohema Graber were found at Chautauqua Park in Fairfield, Iowa, earlier this month, just hours after the teacher was reported missing by her family members.
On Monday, the two 16-year-olds – Willard Noble Chaiden Miller and Jeremy Everett Goodale – also asked the court to reduce their bail from $ 1 million to $ 100,000 in cash or bail.
Investigators had found Graber's body under a tarp, wheelbarrow and railroad ties in the park.
The two 16-year-old boys also waived their right to a speedy trial, local press reported.
Judge Joal Yates is expected to deliver a written ruling on the case this week. The teens are also due to appear before a jury on April 19 next year.
Police said Graber often visited the park where his remains were found.
Investigations revealed that the Fairfield High School teacher had "suffered a trauma to the head."
Graber had been teaching Spanish at the school since 2012.
Governor Kim Reynolds shared his condolences. "My thoughts are with the family, friends, colleagues and students who are facing this tragic murder of Nohema Graber. Ms. Graber has touched the lives of countless children through her work as an educator across our state sharing her passion for foreign languages.
She added: "I am convinced through the work of our dedicated law enforcement agencies that justice will prevail. "
Investigators received advice, including a social media exchange, which indicated that one of the two teens, Jeremy Everett Goodale, was aware of Graber's disappearance and death.
The social media exchange also included information about plans to kill their teacher. Police said the exchange also indicated that the other boy, Willard Noble President Miller, was present at the time of the high school teacher's death.
Police also searched their homes and found bloodstained clothing. An acquaintance of the teens had confirmed to police that she saw the two boys at Chautauqua Park in Fairfield.
Meanwhile, prosecutors say the bond should not be reduced and should stay at $ 1 million or even be raised to $ 2 million.
Nicole Jensen, the state's public defender representing Jeremy, said: "A bond of $ 1 million in cash alone … is so far unobtainable that it essentially amounts to pre-trial detention without bail."
Ms Jensen said Jeremy would not be able to post the $ 1 million bond because his father worked in construction. She said he would be able to pay around $ 10,000.
She insisted that the boy did not have a driver's license or passport and therefore could not run away. Ms Jensen has requested house arrest and additional supervision.
Chauncey Molding, the Jefferson County district attorney, had said earlier that there was no level of outside oversight that could ensure the safety of the community given the heinous nature of the crime.

Het Centrum voor educatie en regiopromotie te Szymbark (Pools: Centrum Edukacji i Promocji Regionu w Szymbarku) is een cultuur-historisch museum en attractiepark in Szymbark in Noord-Polen. Het centrum is gewijd aan de cultuur en historie van de bevolkingsgroep van de Kasjoeben, de historie van de lokale houtindustrie en het leven van mensen die door de eeuwen heen naar Siberië zijn verbannen. Een deel van het centrum is gewijd aan de "Griffioen van Pommeren", een regionale verzetsgroep uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

De opzet van het centrum
Het complex van bijna twee hectare is eigendom van een lokale ondernemer, Daniel Czapiewski, en het is gelegen op het terrein van diens bedrijf Danmar, dat is gespecialiseerd in het bouwen van houten huizen op basis van houtskeletbouw. Het ligt ten zuiden van Szymbark (in de Poolse gemeente Stężyca) vlak bij de Hoofdweg DK20.

Het centrum werd geopend op 6 september 2003. Het was opgezet met als doel om nationale tradities te cultiveren, maar ook als werkgelegenheidsproject en om het toerisme in de regio Kasjoebië een impuls te geven.

Het huis dat op zijn kop staat
Een opvallende blikvanger is "het huis dat op zijn kop staat", dat op 12 mei 2007 voor het publiek werd opengesteld.
Het is compleet ingericht met meubilair dat aan de vloer is opgehangen. Bezoekers kunnen het huis via een raam op de verdieping betreden.
Volgens Czapiewski staat het in de eerste plaats symbool voor de omverwerping van het communistische systeem, maar ook voor de hedendaagse wereld met zijn voortdurende veranderingen en bedreigingen.

Cultuur en folklore der Kasjoeben

In het centrum bevindt zich een aantal replica's van typische houten Kasjoebische gebouwen, zoals een kopie van een adellijke hofstede, een Kasjoebisch houten kerkje en een smidse. In deze gebouwen zijn exposities van traditionele dagelijkse gebruiksvoorwerpen en gereedschap. Daarnaast is er een ouderwetse bakoven, waarin bezoekers zelf brood kunnen bakken.

Siberië

Het Siberisch huis is een houten huisje dat in de 18e eeuw werd bewoond door Polen die ten tijde van de Confederatie van Bar naar Siberië waren verbannen. Het huisje is overgebracht vanuit het plaatsje Zapleskino, dat 360 km ten noordoosten van Irkoetsk ligt.

Verder is er een model van een Goelagkamp, omringd door prikkeldraad en een originele stoomlocomotief met wagons van het soort waarmee verbannen personen naar Siberië werden gevoerd.

Jaarlijks op 17 september, de dag van de Sovjet-aanval op Polen in 1939, vormt het centrum het decor voor de Światowy Zjazd Sybiraków, een internationale bijeenkomst van Polen die in ballingschap in Siberië verbleven hebben.

Padvindershuis

Het Padvindershuis (Dom harcerzy) is in 1926 gebouwd door de YMCA in overleg met het scoutingcentrum in Krakau. Het stond in het nabij Szymbark gelegen Wieżyca-Kolano. Toen het gesloopt zou worden, heeft men het naar het Centrum voor Educatie en Regiopromotie verplaatst en opnieuw opgebouwd op basis van 700 onderdelen die nog in goede staat waren.

Tot 1939 was het padvindershuis een centrum voor de jeugd. Tijdens de Duitse bezetting werden er krijgsgevangenen opgesloten. Na de oorlog werden er collaborateurs opgesloten en mensen die door de communistische autoriteiten als tegenstanders werden beschouwd, waaronder ook de leden van de verzetsgroep Griffioen van Pommeren. Deze 'ongewenste personen' werden vervolgens veelal naar Siberië gedeporteerd.

Verzetsgroep 'Griffioen van Pommeren'
Een deel van het centrum is gewijd aan de geschiedenis van de verzetsgroep 'Griffioen van Pommeren'. Zo is er een ondergrondse geheime bunker van deze organisatie nagebouwd.

Records in houtbewerking

Langste plank ter wereld

In het centrum wordt de langste plank ter wereld tentoongesteld. De plank is 36,83 meter lang, gemiddeld 6 à 7 cm dik en weegt 1100 kg. Op 12 juni 2002 werd het record vastgesteld door het Guinness Book of Records. Het oude record stond op naam van een groep houthakkers uit Oostenrijk.

De plank is gemaakt van een 120-jarige douglasspar van 51 meter lang, die uit een bos op 6 km afstand van de houtzagerij is gehaald. De plank is in negen dagen met de hand uitgezaagd door een ploeg van een paar honderd zagers. De zagers zouden tijdens het werk 2000 liter bier hebben geconsumeerd – een verbruik van 54,3 liter per strekkende meter.

Tafel van de Nobelprijswinnaar
Het centrum bezit tevens de langste tafel ter wereld die van één enkele boom gemaakt is. Deze tafel is 36 meter lang en werd gemaakt van de stukken hout die bij het zagen van de langste plank waren overgebleven. Ter herinnering aan de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede die in 1983 aan Lech Wałęsa werd toegekend is hij de "Tafel van de Nobelprijswinnaar" (Stół Noblisty) genoemd.
Deze tafel weegt zes ton.

How Internet Infrastructure Works
by Jeff Tyson
One of the greatest things about the Internet is that nobody really owns it. It is a global collection of networks, both big and small. These networks connect together in many different ways to form the single entity that we know as the Internet. In fact, the very name comes from this idea of interconnected networks.
Since its beginning in 1969, the Internet has grown from four host computer systems to tens of millions. However, just because nobody owns the Internet, it doesn't mean it is not monitored and maintained in different ways. The Internet Society, a non-profit group established in 1992, oversees the formation of the policies and protocols that define how we use and interact with the Internet.
In this article, you will learn about the basic underlying structure of the Internet. You will learn about domain name servers, network access points and backbones. But first you will learn about how your computer connects to others.
A Hierarchy of Networks
Every computer that is connected to the Internet is part of a network, even the one in your home. For example, you may use a modem and dial a local number to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). At work, you may be part of a local area network (LAN), but you most likely still connect to the Internet using an ISP that your company has contracted with. When you connect to your ISP, you become part of their network. The ISP may then connect to a larger network and become part of their network. The Internet is simply a network of networks.
Most large communications companies have their own dedicated backbones connecting various regions. In each region, the company has a Point of Presence (POP). The POP is a place for local users to access the company's network, often through a local phone number or dedicated line. The amazing thing here is that there is no overall controlling network. Instead, there are several high-level networks connecting to each other through Network Access Points or NAPs.
When you connect to the Internet, your computer
becomes part of a network.
A Network Example
Here's an example. Imagine that Company A is a large ISP. In each major city, Company A has a POP. The POP in each city is a rack full of modems that the ISP's customers dial into. Company A leases fiber optic lines from the phone company to connect the POPs together (see, for example, this UUNET Data Center Connectivity Map).
Imagine that Company B is a corporate ISP. Company B builds large buildings in major cities and corporations locate their Internet server machines in these buildings. Company B is such a large company that it runs its own fiber optic lines between its buildings so that they are all interconnected.
In this arrangement, all of Company A's customers can talk to each other, and all of Company B's customers can talk to each other, but there is no way for Company A's customers and Company B's customers to intercommunicate. Therefore, Company A and Company B both agree to connect to NAPs in various cities, and traffic between the two companies flows between the networks at the NAPs.
In the real Internet, dozens of large Internet providers interconnect at NAPs in various cities, and trillions of bytes of data flow between the individual networks at these points. The Internet is a collection of huge corporate networks that agree to all intercommunicate with each other at the NAPs. In this way, every computer on the Internet connects to every other.
All of these networks rely on NAPs, backbones and routers to talk to each other. What is incredible about this process is that a message can leave one computer and travel halfway across the world through several different networks and arrive at another computer in a fraction of a second!
The routers determine where to send information from one computer to another. Routers are specialized computers that send your messages and those of every other Internet user speeding to their destinations along thousands of pathways. A router has two separate, but related, jobs:
It ensures that information doesn't go where it's not needed. This is crucial for keeping large volumes of data from clogging the connections of "innocent bystanders."
It makes sure that information does make it to the intended destination.
In performing these two jobs, a router is extremely useful in dealing with two separate computer networks. It joins the two networks, passing information from one to the other. It also protects the networks from one another, preventing the traffic on one from unnecessarily spilling over to the other. Regardless of how many networks are attached, the basic operation and function of the router remains the same. Since the Internet is one huge network made up of tens of thousands of smaller networks, its use of routers is an absolute necessity. For more information, read How Routers Work.
Backbones
The National Science Foundation (NSF) created the first high-speed backbone in 1987. Called NSFNET, it was a T1 line that connected 170 smaller networks together and operated at 1.544 Mbps (million bits per second). IBM, MCI and Merit worked with NSF to create the backbone and developed a T3 (45 Mbps) backbone the following year.
Backbones are typically fiber optic trunk lines. The trunk line has multiple fiber optic cables combined together to increase the capacity. Fiber optic cables are designated OC for optical carrier, such as OC-3, OC-12 or OC-48. An OC-3 line is capable of transmitting 155 Mbps while an OC-48 can transmit 2,488 Mbps (2.488 Gbps). Compare that to a typical 56K modem transmitting 56,000 bps and you see just how fast a modern backbone is.
Today there are many companies that operate their own high-capacity backbones, and all of them interconnect at various NAPs around the world. In this way, everyone on the Internet, no matter where they are and what company they use, is able to talk to everyone else on the planet. The entire Internet is a gigantic, sprawling agreement between companies to intercommunicate freely.
Internet Protocol: IP Addresses
Every machine on the Internet has a unique identifying number, called an IP Address. The IP stands for Internet Protocol, which is the language that computers use to communicate over the Internet. A protocol is the pre-defined way that someone who wants to use a service talks with that service. The "someone" could be a person, but more often it is a computer program like a Web browser.
A typical IP address looks like this:
To make it easier for us humans to remember, IP addresses are normally expressed in decimal format as a dotted decimal number like the one above. But computers communicate in binary form. Look at the same IP address in binary:
11011000.00011011.00111101.10001001
The four numbers in an IP address are called octets, because they each have eight positions when viewed in binary form. If you add all the positions together, you get 32, which is why IP addresses are considered 32-bit numbers. Since each of the eight positions can have two different states (1 or zero), the total number of possible combinations per octet is 28 or 256. So each octet can contain any value between zero and 255. Combine the four octets and you get 232 or a possible 4,294,967,296 unique values!
Out of the almost 4.3 billion possible combinations, certain values are restricted from use as typical IP addresses. For example, the IP address 0.0.0.0 is reserved for the default network and the address 255.255.255.255 is used for broadcasts.
The octets serve a purpose other than simply separating the numbers. They are used to create classes of IP addresses that can be assigned to a particular business, government or other entity based on size and need. The octets are split into two sections: Net and Host. The Net section always contains the first octet. It is used to identify the network that a computer belongs to. Host (sometimes referred to as Node) identifies the actual computer on the network. The Host section always contains the last octet. There are five IP classes plus certain special addresses. You can learn more about IP classes at What is an IP address?.
Internet Protocol: Domain Name System
When the Internet was in its infancy, it consisted of a small number of computers hooked together with modems and telephone lines. You could only make connections by providing the IP address of the computer you wanted to establish a link with. For example, a typical IP address might be 216.27.22.162. This was fine when there were only a few hosts out there, but it became unwieldy as more and more systems came online.
The first solution to the problem was a simple text file maintained by the Network Information Center that mapped names to IP addresses. Soon this text file became so large it was too cumbersome to manage. In 1983, the University of Wisconsin created the Domain Name System (DNS), which maps text names to IP addresses automatically. This way you only need to remember http://computer.howstuffworks.com/index.htm, for example, instead of HowStuffWorks.com's IP address.
Uniform Resource Locators
When you use the Web or send an e-mail message, you use a domain name to do it. For example, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) "http://computer.howstuffworks.com/" contains the domain name howstuffworks.com. So does this e-mail address: example@howstuffworks.com. Every time you use a domain name, you use the Internet's DNS servers to translate the human-readable domain name into the machine-readable IP address. Check out How Domain Name Servers Work for more in-depth information on DNS.
Top-level domain names, also called first-level domain names, include .COM, .ORG, .NET, .EDU and .GOV. Within every top-level domain there is a huge list of second-level domains. For example, in the .COM first-level domain there is:
Every name in the .COM top-level domain must be unique. The left-most word, like www, is the host name. It specifies the name of a specific machine (with a specific IP address) in a domain. A given domain can, potentially, contain millions of host names as long as they are all unique within that domain.
DNS servers accept requests from programs and other name servers to convert domain names into IP addresses. When a request comes in, the DNS server can do one of four things with it:
It can answer the request with an IP address because it already knows the IP address for the requested domain.
It can contact another DNS server and try to find the IP address for the name requested. It may have to do this multiple times.
It can say, "I don't know the IP address for the domain you requested, but here's the IP address for a DNS server that knows more than I do."
It can return an error message because the requested domain name is invalid or does not exist.
A DNS Example
Let's say that you type the URL http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ into your browser. The browser contacts a DNS server to get the IP address. A DNS server would start its search for an IP address by contacting one of the root DNS servers. The root servers know the IP addresses for all of the DNS servers that handle the top-level domains (.COM, .NET, .ORG, etc.). Your DNS server would ask the root for www.howstuffworks.com, and the root would say, "I don't know the IP address for www.howstuffworks.com, but here's the IP address for the .COM DNS server."
Your name server then sends a query to the .COM DNS server asking it if it knows the IP address for www.howstuffworks.com. The DNS server for the COM domain knows the IP addresses for the name servers handling the http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ domain, so it returns those.
Your name server then contacts the DNS server for http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ and asks if it knows the IP address for http://computer.howstuffworks.com/. It actually does, so it returns the IP address to your DNS server, which returns it to the browser, which can then contact the server for http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ to get a Web page.
One of the keys to making this work is redundancy. There are multiple DNS servers at every level, so that if one fails, there are others to handle the requests. The other key is caching. Once a DNS server resolves a request, it caches the IP address it receives. Once it has made a request to a root DNS server for any .COM domain, it knows the IP address for a DNS server handling the .COM domain, so it doesn't have to bug the root DNS servers again for that information. DNS servers can do this for every request, and this caching helps to keep things from bogging down.
Even though it is totally invisible, DNS servers handle billions of requests every day and they are essential to the Internet's smooth functioning. The fact that this distributed database works so well and so invisibly day in and day out is a testimony to the design. Be sure to read How Domain Name Servers Work for more information on DNS.
Clients and Servers
Internet servers make the Internet possible. All of the machines on the Internet are either servers or clients. The machines that provide services to other machines are servers. And the machines that are used to connect to those services are clients. There are Web servers, e-mail servers, FTP servers and so on serving the needs of Internet users all over the world.
When you connect to http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ to read a page, you are a user sitting at a client's machine. You are accessing the HowStuffWorks Web server. The server machine finds the page you requested and sends it to you. Clients that come to a server machine do so with a specific intent, so clients direct their requests to a specific software server running on the server machine. For example, if you are running a Web browser on your machine, it will want to talk to the Web server on the server machine, not the e-mail server.
A server has a static IP address that does not change very often. A home machine that is dialing up through a modem, on the other hand, typically has an IP address assigned by the ISP every time you dial in. That IP address is unique for your session -- it may be different the next time you dial in. This way, an ISP only needs one IP address for each modem it supports, rather than one for each customer.
Any server machine makes its services available using numbered ports -- one for each service that is available on the server. For example, if a server machine is running a Web server and a file transfer protocol (FTP) server, the Web server would typically be available on port 80, and the FTP server would be available on port 21. Clients connect to a service at a specific IP address and on a specific port number.
Once a client has connected to a service on a particular port, it accesses the service using a specific protocol. Protocols are often text and simply describe how the client and server will have their conversation. Every Web server on the Internet conforms to the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). You can learn more about Internet servers, ports and protocols by reading How Web Servers Work.
Networks, routers, NAPs, ISPs, DNS and powerful servers all make the Internet possible. It is truly amazing when you realize that all this information is sent around the world in a matter of milliseconds! The components are extremely important in modern life -- without them, there would be no Internet. And without the Internet, life would be very different indeed for many of us.

Just under 200 years ago scientists discovered something profound, that electricity is connected to another of nature's most fundamental forces - magnetism. In the second episode, Jim discovers how harnessing the link between magnetism and electricity would completely transform the world, allowing us to generate a seemingly limitless amount of electric power which we could utilise to drive machines, communicate across continents and light our homes. This is the story of how scientists and engineers unlocked the nature of electricity in an extraordinary century of innovation and invention.

This spring, the Union of Concerned Scientists took to the streets, and to Congress. Staff members worked closely with coalition partners to rally attendees for the March for Science and the People's Climate March, bringing UCS members together with us in an unprecedented amount of activism and legislative action. The results were inspiring.
The March for Science on April 22 was the largest set of demonstrations for science ever held, involving 1 million people in some 600 satellite marches worldwide. UCS turned out a strong presence for the main event in Washington, DC, as well as Albuquerque, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Santa Fe, and many other locations, and recruited more than 800 new Science Network members that day alone.
Equally notable, in the week following the March for Science, UCS organized our largest legislative action initiative ever. Some 35 members of the UCS National Advisory Board and 50 Science Network members participated in more than 75 meetings with members of Congress and their staffs on Capitol Hill, stressing the urgent need for climate action and the importance of basing our governmental decisions on solid science and evidence. We held an equal number of meetings with Republican and Democratic offices; two dozen of which were attended by the members of Congress themselves. As UCS National Advisory Board member Anthony Tindall put it, "UCS really walked the walk in April, showing how important it is to reach out directly to our elected officials on issues that matter. Our initiative on Capitol Hill made me proud to be part of UCS."
Following the week of legislative action, UCS worked closely with labor and faith groups and communities on the front lines of climate change to help plan the April 29 People's March for Climate, Jobs, and Justice. UCS organized phone banks to personally contact thousands of our members and supporters, and helped coordinate and underwrite buses that transported some 200 students from historically black colleges and universities to the march in Washington, DC. The event drew an estimated 200,000 marchers on a sweltering day—more than twice the number organizers had hoped for—with many tens of thousands more participating in satellite marches around the country.
UCS Climate Campaign Manager Kate Cell, who led much of the UCS legislative and organizing activity, marvels at the level of commitment and intensity of UCS staff, members, and supporters. Now, she says, "we must keep up the momentum: keep raising our voices, contacting our representatives, growing our movement, and demanding climate action and social justice."
Ensuring Science Helps Protect Endangered Species
Photo: Alamy Stock Photo
Since 1973, the federal and state agencies responsible for enforcing the Endangered Species Act (ESA) have helped bring dozens of threatened species back from the brink of extinction, including the American bald eagle. The act stipulates that decisions to protect species must be based on the best available science. But this scientific foundation faces a mounting threat as special interests such as oil companies and large landowners push for legislation and administrative changes that would turn endangered species determinations into largely political decisions.
The good news: UCS is fighting back, helping scientists play a key role in safeguarding against abuses. A new UCS toolkit offers advice for scientists and others interested in plant and animal conservation, outlining the processes and agencies involved in listing a species under the ESA. We identify the points in the process where scientists can provide input, and explain how they can identify and speak out against attempts to undermine science. Download it and get started.
Victory at ExxonMobil Shareholder Meeting
Photo: LM Otero/Associated Press
On May 31, in a decisive rebuke to ExxonMobil's leadership, shareholders at the company's annual meeting voted by a two-to-one margin to support a proposal calling on the company to report annually on the impact global measures designed to keep climate change below 2°C are having on its business. The vote marked the first time ExxonMobil shareholders have passed a climate-related resolution.
Over the past several years, UCS has been increasing the pressure on ExxonMobil to take climate action, with our climate accountability campaign helping generate visibility and investor support for this vote. In our inaugural Climate Accountability Scorecard released last October, ExxonMobil received an "egregious" score for failing to renounce disinformation about climate science and policy.
"Five years ago, climate wasn't even on the map for fossil fuel companies or their investors," Kathy Mulvey, UCS climate accountability campaign manager, explains. Now, she says, disclosure of climate-related financial risks has become a mainstream expectation, and fossil fuel companies are on the defensive. "The ExxonMobil shareholders' vote is a testament to the tireless work by advocates, scientists, and community leaders to shift the public conversation around climate change and to assert that yes, climate change is happening; yes, it's getting worse; and yes, companies will get left behind if they don't pull their heads out of the sand."
In the week leading up to both the ExxonMobil and Chevron shareholder meetings, Mulvey and the UCS climate accountability team cosponsored an expert panel discussion on climate change and fossil fuel company responsibility that drew a packed house at Rice University in Houston. The panel was moderated by Neal Lane, former science advisor to President Bill Clinton, and included Robert Bullard, often described as the "father of environmental justice," and Susan Pacheco, an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Texas Medical School. They and other panelists made a forceful case that ExxonMobil and Chevron must act now on climate to serve the interests of their own investors, public health, and environmental justice for communities facing the greatest threat from climate change.

As Mulvey notes, "It's going to take public pressure to hold these companies accountable. ExxonMobil talks the talk about the Paris climate agreement and carbon pricing, but the company is still lobbying for policies that will lead to three to four degrees of warming, and its own reports show the company gave nearly $2 million to think tanks, advocacy groups, and other industry-affiliated associations that dispute climate science, disparage renewable energy, and block climate policy action."
Fighting Back against Trump's Two-for-One Rule
The Union of Concerned Scientists does not go to court often but, in June, we felt compelled to file an "amicus"—or friend-of-the-court—brief in a case brought by a number of nonprofit organizations challenging the Trump administration's so-called two-for-one executive order. This order requires federal agencies to repeal two regulations for every new one they issue, and requires that the cost of any new regulation be fully offset by the cost savings derived from repealing existing ones.
UCS was moved to weigh in on this legal action because the two-for-one order goes against everything we stand for. The order is profoundly irrational, substituting a slogan for the hard work of government, and willfully requires federal agencies to ignore the best available science—even if it would protect Americans from new threats to their health, safety, or environment. Just think about this: if this order had been in place since the 1970s, we probably wouldn't have been able to take lead out of gasoline, mandate seat belts, or keep toxic chemicals out of children's toys.
Already, the executive order is having a detrimental effect. Earlier this year, the Environmental Protection Agency was poised to issue a regulation preventing the discharge of mercury into public sewer systems, but backed off from the rule because it would have had to repeal two other rules.
UCS also believes this executive order is flatly illegal. The organization is fortunate that the venerable Boston law firm Foley Hoag, which has a long history of public service, has agreed to represent us pro bono. Our attorneys have written a compelling brief detailing how the order violates the law, including the argument that it compels federal agencies to take "arbitrary and capricious action."
Stay tuned. A court hearing on President Trump's two-for-one executive order will likely be held sometime this summer, with a decision possible as early as this fall.
UCS Helps California Keep the Water Flowing
In California, UCS is increasingly working to address water issues related to climate change. Last fall, the organization played a key role in the passage of a state law creating a voluntary registry to track energy consumption and climate pollution from water use. Now, we are helping California advance sustainable water management systems and government transparency by lending our support to a "water wells" bill (SB 252) that would make basic information about new groundwater wells in critically overdrafted groundwater basins publicly available. The bill recently passed out of committee and now moves to the floor of the state legislature. UCS also joined with the California-based Community Water Center to cohost two daylong workshops that trained local water officials about climate science and groundwater management, which will help the state develop smarter water sustainability plans in the months and years ahead.
UCS Reaches a Teen Audience
UCS members are used to seeing our scientists and analysts quoted in the New York Times, Science,and other prestigious publications. This spring, though, Gretchen Goldman, research director for the Center for Science and Democracy at UCS, authored a piece called "Why Scientific Truth Matters" for a media outlet that has offered a surprisingly fierce voice opposing the Trump administration's harmful policies: the magazine Teen Vogue. Goldman's article joins a collection of recent pieces in Teen Vogue that are helping to educate and engage young people—especially young women—in politics, including "Donald Trump Is Gaslighting America," and "Why We ALL Need to Be Activists Right Now." In her article, Goldman clearly explains the vital role of science in a functioning democracy. "Today, science is under threat," Goldman writes. "If we can't make decisions based on science, we all lose."

Kids with type 1 diabetes and their closest relatives are more likely to experience mental health issues than people without the disease, Swedish researchers report.
"Many clinicians assume intuitively that diabetes in a child negatively affects the mental health of both the patient and the family members," said study co-author Agnieszka Butwicka, an assistant professor at the Karolinska Institute in Solna. "But we think the answer is not that simple. Our study indicates that there could also be a genetic component behind this association."
The findings — published Aug. 1 in the journal Diabetes Care — highlight the importance of mental health screening both for children with diabetes and their families. These mental health problems include depression, anxiety and stress-related disorders.
Researchers said the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes' current screening guidelines for kids with type 1 diabetes do not adequately address the needs of family members, who are also at risk for mental health issues. Researchers said it's unclear why type 1 diabetes and familial mental health issues are intertwined.
The study linked roughly 3.5 million people born in Sweden between 1973 and 2007 with their parents, full and half-siblings, and cousins. More than 20,000 were diagnosed in childhood with type 1 diabetes, and researchers found that they had nearly double the risk for depression and about 1.6 times the risk of anxiety and stress-related disorders than those without the disease.
In addition, their parents and full siblings had slightly higher risks for anxiety and stress-related disorders. Half-siblings and cousins had only slightly higher risks or none, the study found.
"These results are of high clinical relevance because they mean that therapeutic intervention should also involve close family members, not just patients," Butwicka said in an institute news release.
The results suggest genetics may be a factor since parents, children and full siblings share more genetic material (about 50%) than half siblings (about 25%), and cousins (less than 12.5%), researchers said.
Because this was an observational study, it does not prove what caused the associations.
"More studies are needed to fully understand the underlying genetic and environmental contributions driving psychiatric disorders in type 1 diabetes," said corresponding author Shengxin Liu, a doctoral student at Karolinska Institute.

Much of Liverpool: City of Radicals is still in the planning stages so please check with the venue or organisers beforehand as details may change.
The new City of Radicals website www.cityofradicals.co.uk is coming soon but until then, here is a line up of events.
Installation by 2010 Liverpool Art Prize winner featuring series of drawings and painted silk banner in the style of a traditional British Trade Union, representing a banner workshop run by a collective of artists opposed to Victorian artisan and entrepreneur George Tutill, who monopolised production of union banners in the 19th Century.
Liverpool Discovers: A Winter's Trail.
An exposition representing the breadth and reach of FACT's Collaboration Programme working with communities.
Exhibition of Liverpool Polish émigré artist who exhibited in Post-Impressionist show in 1911. A political radical who painted portraits of union leaders Tom Mann & James Larkin and befriended Augustus John, Lipczinski's story has been researched by David Bingham and is told in a forthcoming book and this exhibition.
This exhibition, curated specially for Liverpool City of Radicals, will draw on various 'radical' moments in Liverpool and Labour history whilst looking more broadly at ideas around democracy. Artists in discussion with the Bluecoat include David Jacques, Oliver Walker, Dave Sinclair and there will also be fascinating archive material.
Other venues and organisations in the city, including the Philharmonic, Africa Oye, Unity Theatre, Liverpool Irish Festival, Collective Encounters, the Duncan Society, Hope University, News from Nowhere bookshop, Liverpool Parks and the Primary Care Trust, are also planning programmes – to be announced.


As many may have read, the Michigan State Waterways Commission (MSWC) recently proposed that canoes, kayaks and other paddle vessels be subject to a $10 state registration fee.
The MSWC passed Resolution 02-2018-01, which recommended a registration requirement, along with the $10 fee for all rigid-hulled kayaks, canoes and paddleboards eight feet or longer. Such vessels are currently exempt from registration fees when used recreationally.
At first glance, this seemed like it may be a workable idea. Most vessel registration fees go toward lake patrols, among other safety measures and launch maintenance. It is assumed funds raised by the new fee would go toward similar efforts.
However, those who enjoy canoeing and kayaking often prefer rivers or streams to lakes and typically do not need a specialized launch site. Most people simply set their canoe or kayak in the water, hop in and go. Also, those who choose to enjoy Michigan's beautiful public waterways pay for a state recreation passport, which also helps maintain state launch sites.
This means those who prefer paddle crafts will see little, if any, benefit from a registration fee.
I was happy to join my colleagues in supporting Senate Resolution 153, which formally opposes any effort from the MSWC toward implementing a new fee or registration on such vessels. Any registration requirement and fee must be implemented by the Legislature and because of the vast opposition to their recommendation, MSWC recently announced that it will no longer be pursuing any type of registration or fee on paddle crafts at this time.
Paddle sports are exploding in popularity, especially in northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. I see no reason to add another obstacle for residents who want to enjoy some of the most beautiful and scenic waterways in the world, or to hinder our incredible tourism industry by imposing such fees.
An additional tax on people who want to go outdoors, get some fresh air and enjoy Pure Michigan is completely unnecessary and sends the wrong message to our children. We need to teach our children that Michigan's outdoors are to be enjoyed responsibly. For generations, families in my district have been enjoying the water and I was happy not only to see the support of my fellow legislators for this resolution, but to hear of the MSWC dropping their plans to pursue any new fees at this time.
I hope to see even more people out on the water this summer!
Sen. Wayne Schmidt, R-Traverse City, represents the 37th state Senate District, which includes Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Chippewa, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Luce and Mackinac counties.

Legal issues hinder selling of seized smuggled onions: Marcos
MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Thursday said "some legal issues" are preventing the government from selling seized smuggled onions at lower prices.
"We're trying to find ways to bring the smuggled onions that have been caught na ilagay na sa market para mabawasan ang (and sell them in the market to reduce the) supply problem but there are some legal issues to doing that immediately. So we're still working on that," Marcos said in a video from the Office of the Press Secretary (OPS).
Marcos, however, did not give further details.
Early this month, the Department of Agriculture (DA) came up with the idea to sell seized smuggled onions in Kadiwa sites should they be found in compliance with phytosanitary import requirements.
To date, there are nearly 400 Kadiwa stores nationwide.
Marcos also assured the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) will continue monitoring the prices of red onions in the market to ensure they follow the suggested retail price (SRP) of PHP250 per kilo.
The SRP on red onions will be effective on Friday (Dec. 30).
"We stick firmly to the recommended price and the DTI will continue to monitor…We will keep the prices down by monitoring what's happening in our palengke (wet markets)," he said.
The Kadiwa ng Pasko caravan is an initiative of the Office of the President led by the DA to promote affordable and high-quality products.
The program gives consumers the opportunity to buy affordable goods and provides a market to local agricultural producers as well as micro, small and medium enterprises.
Calamity-hit areas
Meanwhile, Marcos said he is eyeing to make a visit to areas affected by flooding caused by the shear line and amihan (northeast monsoon) after his three-day state visit to China from Jan. 3 to 5, 2023.
"Unfortunately, tuloy-tuloy pa rin yung ulan e (it keeps on raining) so we have to keep watching the other areas also. But yes, probably, if there's a reason to go I think that so far our social services have done their job but it always helps to go and see for yourself so I'll try to make time to go," he said.
As of Thursday, data from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) showed that at least 32 persons have died from the shear line-induced heavy rains that inundated some parts of the country.
Seven of the 32 have been confirmed so far — three each in Regions 8 (Eastern Visayas) and 9 (Zamboanga Peninsula) and one in Caraga.
Undergoing validation are reports of another 25 deaths — 18 in Region 10 (Northern Mindanao), six in Region 5 (Bicol) and one for Region 9.
Most of the casualties were caused by drowning from flash floods after two days of heavy rains spoiled Christmas celebrations and prompted tens of thousands of others to take refuge in evacuation centers or relatives' houses. (PNA)

I've mentioned in a previous post that I consider myself an introvert. I'm not sure when I gave myself this label, but I distinctly remember coming home with report cards that hinted at it – "Abby's a good student but she's so quiet","Needs to talk more in class", "Does she have a voice??? Make her talk!!!!" (the last one I made up but you get the idea). There are certain professions where being introverted isn't a necessarily a drawback (I think), but academia does not seem to be one of them. You would think that a group of people who spend significant amounts of time working solo or in small groups would be naturally be introverted. Maybe they've found a way to come to terms with this. Maybe there is a secret that I have been cruelly kept from finding out. What I've experienced in my first year as a doctoral student is that I'm surrounded by people who seem to have little fear of making presentations or participating in group discussions. But I have a huge amount of fear. My fear is loud, aggressive, headache inducing, and tends to keep me from sleeping. One of my main problems when speaking in public is that my mind blanks. I have thoughts. I'm a relatively intelligent person. But when I'm forced to speak all my higher level thinking disappears to somewhere far, far away. So what do you do when public speaking seems to be a requirement?
What I have accepted is that I am an introvert. I'm quiet and shy. This will never change and I don't want it too. I no longer see it as a flaw that must be corrected. I think this is an important and necessary step. But I know that I need to be a better public speaker. I'm going to have to do a significant amount of it to get my PhD. Defending my prospectus and my dissertation, along with conference presentations, demand a lot of public speaking and quick thinking. At the moment I'm setting small goals for myself. Saying something (anything really) during class discussion and carefully planning out possibilities for short presentations, and trying to figure out tricks/tools that will help me relax when I speak publicly. The end goal is to defend my prospectus and dissertation with turning beet read, rambling, and possibly fleeing. It's the small things.


Here's how Issue One contributor Jamie Mortara answered our Questionnaire.

White Noise: News on Alice In Chains, Poison The Well, Municipal Waste, Dethklok and More
Chris Harris Published: September 17, 2009
Illegal downloading has hobbled the music industry over the last decade, and try as they might, labels and musicians have been unable to quell online leaks and file sharing. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right? Late last night, the publicists for Smashing Pumpkins issued a press release announcing that Billy Corgan, the band's sole remaining founding member, would be releasing a new album called 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope.' But rather than release the disc through a label, the Pumpkins are releasing the new effort (which they started recording this week) in bits and pieces over time -- and entirely for free. The first song, says the release, will drop around Halloween, with 43 others being released as they're ready over a period of several months. Of course, the songs will also be released physically, as EPs and, eventually, a box set. Our first thought when seeing this press release was, "Really?" Has it gotten to the point where no one will buy new Smashing Pumpkins music, or is this just the direction the music business is heading in? Free music? It seems crazy, but it's true. Share your thoughts on this subject with us, in the comments section. We'd love to hear from you.
+ Next week, Alice in Chains return with their much-anticipated new LP, 'Black Gives Way to Blue.' Of course, there are bound to be some skeptics out there, unwilling to accept the band in its current, Layne Staley-less form, but do yourself a favor. Check out this video and listen to samples of some of the songs from the disc. Its a nice preview of what will no doubt go down as one of the year's best rock releases.
+ We love Municipal Waste, and we're psyched they're going out on tour. The band's Waste the World Tour 2009 kicks off in November with Goatwhore, the Accused, Brutal Truth, Phobia and Cauldron as direct support. The tour kicks off on Nov. 6 in Raleigh, N.C., and runs through Dec. 10 in Philadelphia.
+ The killer of a Seattle-based sound engineer who had worked with the likes of Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Nirvana, Great White and Queensrÿche has fled, inciting a national manhunt. In a letter he left for his family, 51-year-old Kino Michael Gomez says he'd rather die than give up his freedoms and his right to bear arms. On July 17, Gomez allegedly shot and killed 49-year-old Tom Pfaeffle outside a hotel.
+ Poison the Well, who gave us a tour of their van earlier this summer, had their ride and trailer (containing all of the band's gear) stolen in Detroit recently, during the first stop on their tour with Billy Talent. PTW will return to the tour, after settling the matter with their insurance company. The band suspects "a talented scumbag" is responsible, and he basically took "everything we own."
+ Lambgoat is streaming a new track from Horse the Band's forthcoming LP, 'Desperate Living,' which drops Oct. 6. The new track, called 'Rape Escape,' features a guest piano performance from "classical pianist Valentina Lisitsa, who is increasingly regarded as the world's best," the band says.
+ Metalsucks unearthed Attack Attack!'s cover of Katy Perry's 'I Kissed a Girl' and point out that the band failed to adjust the lyrics of the song. We also hope their boyfriends don't mind it.
+ The best parties are the ones you crash. On Sept. 23 at Fontana's in New York, Metal Insider will be hosting a listening of Dethklok's 'The Dethalbum II.' The fun starts at 7 PM ET. We'll see you there.
+ Hypocrisy's 'A Taste of Extreme Divinity' will be issued on Nov. 3. Fortunately for us, that means the band will be touring with Ensiferum, Ex Deo, Blackguard and Swashbuckle in support of the effort. The first date is booked for Nov. 6 in Springfield, Va. and runs through Dec. 9 in New York City.
+ Sea of Treachery, Suffokate and Blindwitness will be teaming up for the 'Be Shred or Be Dead Tour,' which kicks off Oct. 18 in Morris, Ill., and ends Nov. 29 in Springfield, Il.
+ You can now download the title track from Converge's new album 'Axe to Fall,' which hits stores Oct. 20.
+ According to sources, Underoath will be touring this winter with August Burns Red and Emery. We'll bring you those dates once they're available.
+ Finally, some good news for Zakk Wylde, who has been sidelined with blood clots as of late. Doctors have given the green light to Wylde's scheduled performance with Black Label Society on Halloween in New York's Times Square.

"Carving Space for the Collective" by Thet-Htar Thet | Minnesota Women's Press

*The following article was written by LOCUS Leadership Team member, Thet-Htar Thet, and published in the Minnesota Women's Press on August 24, 2019.
Carving Space for the Collective
by Thet-Htar Thet
As women of color, we often find ourselves striving to get through our daily lives with our dignity, humanity, sense of joy, and meaning. Juggling through a world that celebrates and reject us, that amplifies and degrades us, and one that uses and needs us. I've often been told to manage the stress and negativity that comes with these dualities by carving out space for myself.
When I first moved to the Twin Cities, I needed space. Untethered, I waded through a sea of uncertainty, of anxiety, of unanchoredness. Attempting to carve a space for just myself only deepened the sense of loneliness I was experiencing. How could I learn to heal and do good work in my community?
It was during that year that I stumbled on LOCUS, an organization that connects people of color and Indigenous communities. It exists to make sense of the ways in which we and our communities are evolving, and to share resources and opportunities for equitable advancement and collective energy. It hosts dialogues, events, and an online community that connects to leadership and employment opportunities.
The leadership team at the helm of this organization consists entirely of women and non-binary people of color; volunteering time to help carve out space for themselves and others. Two of the LOCUS board members are Lindsay Pluger and TraNeicia Sylvester.
Identity-Driven Leadership
Pluger's identity rests not only in her nonprofit professional experiences, but in her transracial adoptee status. She hasn't always been comfortable sharing her authentic self in either of her identities. "Having a community where I can grow and create those spaces for myself and others has been one of the best ways for me to stay true to my values."
She felt compelled to do the work of LOCUS. "Having a space where I can acknowledge and celebrate my identities, along with other people and their identities, through various conversations and action-driven community work is what keeps me connected."
Pluger engages with communities of color on both an international and local level. "The concept of identity-driven leadership always sticks out to me when I think about my work with LOCUS."
Standing Out for Single Mothers
Sylvester describes LOCUS as "a community collective that bridges the gap for people of color in the workforce, educational spaces, and leadership."
As a single woman, she wanted to be part of leading an organization that could help connect more women of color to opportunities. She especially wanted to help single parents sustain their families with opportunities that would normally not be offered to them. "I educated myself and I did what I needed to do to get into the entrepreneurial route."
Sylvester recognizes that mothers, and women of color, tend to be marginalized because of bias about what they are capable of accomplishing.
"I represent a population of women, not just of color, but single mothers who are constantly overlooked and have economically been taken advantage of when it comes to invalidating our work experience," says Sylvester. "Being part of LOCUS as a leader will bring light to other women who cannot take advantage of leadership roles because of the roles they play at home."
Having experienced trauma in the healthcare system during the birth of her daughter, she also is motivated to open up conversations about health care neglect, community health engagement, and prenatal care.
The Backbone
There is something immensely vulnerable and powerful about the existence of an organization such as LOCUS. The backbone relies on women and non-binary people of color coming into power. It provides a glimpse into a world where carving out space for the collective is equally as critical as it is for the individual.
Sometimes carving space for the collective means to let others we trust hold space for us. Struggling in isolation can leave us drowning.
All of us need someone to help us navigate moments of uncertainty, anxiety, and unanchoredness. When we allow others to show us what healing, leadership, and community can look like, that is when we can take a step closer to internalizing it for ourselves.

News / Retrospects
Switzerland and Austria dominate Gardena-Gröden 2010
four gold medals each. We are talking about Silvan Zurbriggen (SUI) and Michael Walchhofer (AUT) who continue to fuel the competition between the two skiing nations Austria and Switzerland.
The rivalry between Switzerland and Austria is as old as the history of the ski World Cup itself. 517 victories is what the Swiss have earned thus far, the Austrians 749. And each year, the ski World Cup on the Saslong offers yet another stage for the two nations to compete. 59 World Cup races have been won by the Austrians, 17 by the Swiss. And that is why other nations just have to content themselves with leftovers. Things weren't much different this year.
The eternal duel ends with a tie
Switzerland and Austria have shared the stage with each nation taking home a gold medal from the ski World Cup weekend in Gardena-Gröden and also sharing in the other six podiums with the exception of two medals. In the Super-G, Stephan Keppler captured silver just in time to get his nation fired up for the upcoming World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The French had to satisfy themselves with a sixth place by Guillermo Fayet which he reached with bib 49. This wasn't just a good result, but also a very welcome one after David Poisson had a spectacular fall on the Camel Humps and Johan Claret landed in the safety nets on the Ciaslat meadow. Luckily both accidents looked worse than they actually ended up being. Also the Italian team ended up physically intact yet mentally tattered. While clocking the training run's best time, Christof Innerhofer along with his team mates ended up far from the leading field in both races on the Saslong.
Walchhofer's fourth gold medal
The Super-G confirmed that despite age, Michael Walchhofer still belongs to the top. The competition was no match for this experienced Austrian athlete. He clocked a winning time of 1:34.55 minutes ahead of Stephan Keppler (GER, +67/100 seconds) and Erik Guay (CAN, +81/100 seconds). This was his fourth victory on the Saslong. During the race, all eyes were on Stephan Keppler who performed a sensational race with bib 7 setting a time that was (almost) out of reach for the rest of the skiers. Particularly in light of the fact that visibility generally deteriorated and even a slight snow fall set in. But then Walchhofer skied well on the upper part of the course and aced the second part crossing the finish line with 67/100 seconds ahead of Keppler. This gold medal matches Walchhofer's record with that of both Kristian Ghedina and Franz Klammer. The classic Downhill race scheduled for Saturday gave Walchhofer the perfect chance to win a fifth medal crowning himself the king of the Saslong.
Zurbriggen's first Downhill Win
But this was not to be. It was yet another surprise winner to take home the Downhill gold on the Saslong: Silvan Zurbriggen from Switzerland who had not been on a Downhill podium before. He managed to leave the competition behind winning with the narrow margin of 6/100 seconds ahead of Romed Baumann from Austria. Zurbriggen has a special connection to the Saslong as he tore his left knee ligaments on the Camel Humps in 2007. But also for Baumann it was a first on a Downhill podium. Not so for bronze medalist Didier Cuche who already knows many Downhill podiums but still has to win the Downhill gold on the Saslong.
The ski circuit's oldest skier Patrik Jaerbyn lead the race for the longest time. With 41 years, he is the only skier who was already born when Gardena-Gröden hosted the World Championships in 1970. The organizers invited the former World Championships to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the event. But back to the race. Dider Cuche placed ahead of Jaerbyn and started to believe that he might have captured his elusive Downhill gold on the Saslong as both Klaus Kröll as well as Michael Walchhofer were not able to beat his time. But then Zurbriggen blew Cuche's dream of winning gold. He won silver already twice here in Gardena-Groeden but had to content himself with bronze this year. Romed Baumann squeezed in on second place with 6/100 behind Zurbriggen.
Walchhofer ended up on fifth place which while not setting new records, was still significantly better than the Italian team's results. The practice run's fastest Christof Innerhofer placed 1.7 seconds behind Zurbriggen which was worse than both Peter Fill and Werner Heel who still ended up outside the top ten.
Interesting fact: This is the second Zurbriggen to win on the Saslong with Pirmin Yurbriggen winning the Downhill in 1983 and the Super-G in 1989.

UMass Lowell to Host Second Annual America East Hackathon
BOSTON (August 29, 2017) | The America East Academic Consortium (AEAC) announced today that the second annual America East hackathon, Hack AE, will take place on Saturday, November 4 – Sunday, November 5, 2017 at UMass Lowell.
Hack AE is a 24-hour civic hackathon designed to bring America East students together to build software and hardware projects that address the real-world challenges facing our neighborhoods, cities, states, and country. Building on last year's push for students to "hack for a better world," this year's event will challenge students to develop technological solutions to issues in the areas of cybersecurity, education, environmental sustainability, and health and wellness. The event will once again be part of the Major League Hacking circuit, now in its 18th season.
"UMass Lowell is honored to host the second annual Hack AE event," said Steven Tello, the university's senior associate vice chancellor for entrepreneurship and economic development. "Innovation and entrepreneurship are core pillars at UMass Lowell, and our support of Hack AE provides a significant opportunity for our students to engage, compete and collaborate with innovators, entrepreneurs and hackers from across the nine America East campuses. There is strong interest among our students and faculty in this event, and our own DifferenceMaker Team is eager to welcome the hackers to UMass Lowell."
Last year, the inaugural hackathon attracted more than 150 students from seven America East universities. Some of America East's brightest young minds in entrepreneurship, engineering and technology collaborated in round-the-clock efforts to use technology to address issues of local, regional, national, or global significance. Award-winning projects included a website intended to connect physically disabled individuals with area volunteers in the event of an emergency, a device charger that uses salt water reaction cells to create free, renewable energy, and a web application that assists individuals in securing transportation to their designated polling station during election season. Representatives from leading organizations such as BAE Systems, Bloomberg, General Electric, IBM, Lockheed Martin, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Viacom were on site to provide support, speak with students about career possibilities, and share thoughts on developments in the technology sector.
"We received an incredible response to our first civic hackathon, and we are excited to work with UMass Lowell to build on that energy and enthusiasm," said Juliette Kenny, executive director of the AEAC. "Challenging students to think critically about the real-world implications of their work is at the core of the Hack AE experience, and we're thrilled to partner with a dynamic, forward-thinking campus that is constantly looking, through its DifferenceMaker program and other campus activities, to expand students' understanding of how they can positively impact the world around them. UMass Lowell's commitment to social innovation and entrepreneurship, combined with its state-of-the-art facilities and convenient location just outside of Boston, made it the perfect choice for this year's hackathon."
Hack AE organizers are currently recruiting mentors, judges, and sponsors to assist in providing students with the best hackathon experience possible. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact event organizers at info@theaeac.org.
Students interested in attending this year's hackathon can find more information at http://theaeac.org/events/hackae. The event is open to undergraduate and graduate students at America East member universities.
