GOP Congressional Candidate Blames LGBTQ Rights Law on Illiterate Black Heathens

A Republican Trump supporter running for Congress informed her Twitter followers last week that a new law protecting the rights of the LGBTQ community only passed because black people in Cleveland are illiterate and don't attend weekly worship services.
That's the gospel according to Beverly Goldstein, the Republican candidate for Ohio's 11th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Goldstein took to Twitter to boost her congressional campaign and promote the Republican anti-gay, "religious freedom" ministry by asking everyone in the Cleveland area to turn to their neighbor and say something homophobic.
According to the Plain Dealer, on Tuesday, Ohio's Cuyahoga County Council joined 20 other municipalities in Ohio that have passed ordinances banning discrimination of the basis of sexual preference and gender identity or expression. The new laws "target equal access to employment, housing, and public accommodations, including access to public bathrooms and locker rooms" and creates a three-person Commission on Human Rights to levy fines and order protections in cases of discrimination.
But Goldstein, a self-described MAGA-Ohioan running against black Congresswoman Marcia Fudge (D-OH) suggested that the pro-LGBTQ rights legislation is directly tied to illiteracy in Cleveland's inner city and pleaded for a legal challenge to the newly-created law that simply extended the same legal protections to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people that had already been afforded to the already protected classes of race, color, religion, military status, national origin, disability, age, ancestry, familial status and sex.
"If CCC [Cuyahoga County Council] had LITERATE inner-city church-attending Black voters following this issue=entirely opposite outcome," Goldstein tweeted, apparently using the Donald Trump Stylebook for Grammar and Capitalization.
Goldstein, who the Plain Dealer notes is mounting her second run against Fudge ("Run against fudge," coincidentally, is also a rarely-used euphemism for diarrhea) is a longtime advocate for adult literacy, although she has curiously neglected to define Trumpisms like "covfefe" and "anonynynynymous."
Goldstein was unavailable to comment because she was attending the Midwest Regional Conference for the National Action Network, the activist organization founded by one of America's most prodigious users of multisyllabic exclamations, Rev. Al Sharpton. In her absence, the candidate's campaign manager and husband issued an explanation of the tweet:
"If most of them understood that this ordinance would allow transgender males, or sex offenders who masquerade as transgender males, to use women's bathrooms regularly used by mothers and daughters, thereby endangering the safety of girls and women, they probably would have brought pressure to bear on their elected county representatives not to bring the resolution in the first place," Michael Goldstein said. "But those who cannot read cannot be expected to know about the negative effects of the resolution."
Goldstein's opponent, Congresswoman Fudge called Goldstein's tweet "ill-informed, racist and homophobic," and refused to dignify it with a response, while Phillip Robinson, a black state representative, said that "the majority of Americans including residents here in Cuyahoga County agree with me that this is a matter of equal rights and basic human decency."
In response, the Apostle Paul issued a statement that may not have been read by the Beverly Goldstein and the legion of functionally literate, white Christian Conservatives who elected Donald Trump:
For there is no respect of persons with God.
- Romans 2:11

Hybrid Linked Mode (HLM) is a brand new feature available only for VMware Cloud on AWS, which was announced during VMworld US in August 2017. HLM provides the ability to extend an administrator's management view from on-premises to VMware Cloud on AWS. This may sound oddly familiar if you are using Enhanced Linked Mode (ELM) in your on-premises environment. There are differences between ELM and HLM in their requirements, how they work, and what problem each is solving. William Lam has a post outlining the differences between the two features here. This post will go into detail on how to get HLM implemented.
Before jumping into the configuration of HLM it's good having an understanding of the feature and its requirements. When a Cloud SDDC is deployed (a Cloud SDDC is an SDDC consisting of vCenter Server, ESXi, vSAN, and NSX deployed in the VMware Cloud on AWS service) and configured it is setup as its own stand-alone vSphere Single Sign-On domain. In order to manage both a VMware Cloud on AWS and your on-premises vSphere SSO domain together, these two separate SSO domains need to establish a trust. They also need to continue to retain their autonomy since HLM has the flexibility to be created and destroyed at will. For example, if we create HLM between a Cloud SDDC and an on-premises vSphere environment, we don't want the two environments to become fundamentally dependent on each other. This gives us the ability to tear down HLM without breaking permissions and creating a huge mess.
HLM is a flexible solution that allows us to jointly manage both the VMware Cloud on AWS and on-premises SSO domains. HLM provides a one-way trust from on-premises to VMware Cloud on AWS (i.e. VMware Cloud on AWS trusts the on-premises users) and gives us the option to link and unlink as needed. It also retains the separation between on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS permissions to avoid a mess if we need to break the two environments apart. Once HLM is established, on-premises workloads can be migrated to VMware Cloud on AWS. The added bonus is that the migration works both ways and workloads can be migrated back from VMware Cloud on AWS to on-premises.
Now let's take a look at the features and requirements of HLM.
The initial release supports embedded vCenter Server deployment model for both VMware Cloud on AWS and on-premises.
Not setup by default with an option to link and unlink as needed.
Configuration done in the VMware Cloud on AWS vSphere Client (HTML5).
Management of both environments is done by logging in the VMware Cloud on AWS vSphere Client using an on-prem account.
One way trust from on-prem to VMware Cloud on AWS.
Supports round-trip workload mobility via cold migration.
vSphere 6.5.0d (build 5318154) or higher is required for the on-premises embedded vCenter Server Appliance deployment.
VPN connectivity from the VMware Cloud on AWS management gateway to the on-premises environment.
Configuration of firewall rules from the VMware Cloud on AWS management console. By default, the firewall is set to deny all. Also the necessary firewall ports need to be already opened in the on-premises vSphere environment.
A user account that has authority to add an identity source. Supported identity source types are Active Directory over LDAP(s) or Open LDAP.
Create or use an existing cloud administrator's group from the on-premises identity source which will have access to login the VMware Cloud on AWS vCenter Server and manage both environments once HLM is configured.
vSphere SSO on-premises environment account information to link to the on-premises environment.
On-premises DNS server entries – these are used to resolve the on-premises identity source and Platform Services Controller.
While you may be thinking there are currently some limitations to HLM, remember VMware Cloud on AWS is a managed service. This is what's available in the initial release and additional enhancements will be added to the service over time.
1. Before HLM can be configured, there are a few prerequisites which need to be in place prior to attempting configuration. A VPN connection must be established between the VMware Cloud on AWS management gateway and the on-premises environment.
3. Enter the on-premises DNS server(s) in the VMware Cloud on AWS management gateway to resolve the on-premises identity source and Platform Services Controller which will be used when configuring HLM.
Note: make sure you can resolve the VMware Cloud on AWS vCenter Server in your on-premises environment.
Now that all the prerequisites have been met, the actual HLM configuration consists of three steps.The HLM configuration takes place within the VMware Cloud on AWS vSphere Client (HTML5) which, by the way, is the only web client available. Login to the VMware Cloud on AWS vSphere Client using the cloudadmin@vmc.local credentials, which is the default equivalent to administrator@vsphere.local account in your on-premises vSphere environment.
After logging in to the VMware Cloud on AWS vSphere Client, navigate to the "Menu" option at the top of the screen and select "Administration".
From the right-hand Administration pane go to the "Hybrid Cloud" section and select "Linked Domains".
Click on step one "Add Identity Source" and fill out the necessary information about your on-premises identity source. In this example, Active Directory over LDAP is used.
The Distinguished Name (DN) for both users and groups can be found in Active Directory by selecting the "Users" or "Groups" OU –> right click and go to properties –> select the "Attributes Editor tab" –> find the distinguished name.
Note: make sure the correct format is used for the distinguished name for both users and groups.
There is also the option to add multiple identity source servers for redundancy if you choose. Only one server is required during configuration, but a secondary identity source server can be added after HLM has been configured. To view what Identity sources have been added or to add an additional identity server go to the Administration menu –> select the Configuration option –> go to the Identity Source tab. Options are also available to edit and remove and existing identity source as well.
After the identity source has been added successfully a green check will appear on the completed step, allowing you to proceed to step 2.
Now that an identity source has been added, the next step is adding the group that will have permission to manage the cloud SDDC. This group can be an existing one or a newly created group of members that are separate from your on-premises vSphere administrators group.
Select the newly added identity source (previous step) from the dropdown menu.
Type or search for the cloud administrators group. Members of this group will be able to login the VMware Cloud on AWS vSphere Client using their on-premises active directory accounts and manage both environments in a single view. Multiple groups can be added by repeating this process.
The Cloud Administrator's group has been successfully added and one more step to go!
The third and final step is adding information from your on-premises vSphere SSO domain (embedded deployment).
Enter the necessary information which includes PSC FQDN, SSO Domain Name, SSO User, and Password. The HTTPS port is filled in by default using 443.
Note: If you deployed your on-premises VCSA using FQDN or IP Address which is registered with its lookup service, use the same information when filling out this wizard for the VMware Cloud on AWS PSC name.
Once the on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS SSO domains establish a trust, HLM is now configured and you will need to login with your on-premises credentials. Once you click OK, you will automatically be logged out of the VMware Cloud on AWS vSphere Client.
There is a user account and a couple of solution users accounts created by default on the on-premises vCenter Server when HLM is configured. These accounts today can only be viewed in the flash version of the vSphere Web Client and they should not be manipulated in any way as they will affect the communication between your on-premises vCenter Server and your VMware Cloud on AWS vCenter Server.
hvc & vsphere-webclient – these solution users match the same accounts in VVMware Cloud on AWS. In the screens below the top screenshot shows the VMware Cloud on AWS vSphere Client and the bottom screen shows the on-premises vSphere Web Client.
Once HLM is configured log back in the VMware Cloud on AWS vSphere Client using your on-premises credentials. Using your on-premises credentials is the only way to manage both on-premises and Cloud SDDC using HLM.
After logging in with your on-premises account your greeted with screen showing vSphere domains have been linked. Also on this screen is the option to also unlink at any time.
From the hosts and clusters view you can see and manage both your vSphere on-premises and cloud SDDC environments in a single view while retaining separate permissions.
Once all the initial network and firewall requirements have been met, HLM is really only three easy steps. Today HLM can only be established by logging in the VMware Cloud on AWS vCenter Server with your on-premises credentials, but as I mentioned earlier VMware Cloud on AWS is a managed service and new functionality will be added at a rapid pace. We can now move workloads via cold migration between our on-premises and cloud SDDC by simply right clicking on a single VM or multiple and selecting migrate. The same wizard that you use today on-premises is present which is another benefit of VMware Cloud on AWS. Now your current on-premises vSphere skills translate to the cloud and you can just focus on the important piece – workload management – while VMware takes care of the rest.
You may also take a look at the following video which covers the HLM process as well.

What Pocahontas Saw
Historians Helen Rountree and Camilla Townsend deconstruct and demystify the legend of Pocahontas in this January 14, 2007, radio broadcast of With Good Reason, hosted by Sarah McConnell and produced by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities.
seventeenth century, Jamestown
Christianity, conflict, environment, food, identity, myths, oral history, Powhatan, women
McConnell: The film The New World is an arresting tale of a passionate love between the Indian princess Pocahontas and the English adventurer John Smith. But historians say there never was any romance between Pocahontas and Smith and that even Smith's account of the Indian princess saving his life isn't quite right. I'm Sarah McConnell and today on With Good Reason, how the Pocahontas myth evolved and what the Indian world of 1607 was really like.
A lot of attention has been given to the Indians of America's West but few of us know much about the native people of the East who first saw the English settlers land on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay 400 years ago. My two guests today are among the foremost scholars of East Coast Indians. Helen Rountree is a professor emerita of anthropology at Old Dominion University and the author of numerous works on East Coast Indians, including Pocahontas, Powhatan, and Opechancanough, about three well-known Indians whose lives were changed by Jamestown. Camilla Townsend is an associate professor of history at Colgate University; she's the author of Pocahontas and the Powhatan Dilemma.
We hear a lot about the English world, when Jamestown began, but what was the Indian world like in 1607? Who were these people that the settlers from England first encountered?
Rountree: They were people who had been there for centuries, even millennia, for starters.
McConnell: What was their world like?
Rountree: Most of the place would have been forested and that's the first thing the English noticed.
Townsend: Certainly the English when they approached the shore were, as we would say, bowled over by what they saw.
McConnell: And what did they describe, that they saw when they disembarked?
Rountree: They were almost "ravished at the sight," is the way George Percy put it. John Smith later wrote that the woods were composed of such big trees and so little underbrush that a "man may gallop a horse anyway except where the stream shall hinder." Hardly anybody in England except great lords got to see places like that and it was the ordinary habitat of the Powhatans here in Virginia. There were so many fish, especially in the spring, that the waters literally boiled with them. There were sturgeons, who were tremendous fish; one fish would feed several dozen people. Sturgeon are known to get up to 800 pounds in weight. There were areas where the oysters were so thick and so extensive that they actually made islands in Hampton Roads and the oysters themselves got to be twice the size of modern oysters—eight, ten inches long, maybe twelve inches long. There were flocks of passenger pigeons in flocks estimated at having billions of birds; it would take several hours for a single flock to pass overhead. Those natural resources were just humongous.
McConnell: So was this an idyllic existence?
Rountree: No place has ever been idyllic as far as anthropologists have been able to discover. The life expectancy on both sides of the Atlantic was less than forty years, but the major reasons for it were that there was still serious childhood diseases that killed children off and there was a high mother and infant mortality because giving birth for the human species is difficult.
McConnell: So how were they among each other? Were they endangered by each other, neighboring or distant tribes or did they live in harmony because everybody had plenty?
Rountree: That part of the ideal didn't happen either. People always have occasional difficulties getting along with the neighbors and in the case of the whole Eastern Woodlands area, from the Mississippi eastward, you have got a state of intermittent guerrilla warfare. But the Indian warfare that occurred here in the Chesapeake was not nearly as wasteful of human life; women and children were taken captive, brainwashed, and adopted into their captor's families, thereby strengthening the captors.
Townsend: And only a few men, warriors, would be killed in any one battle, this was gonna be completely different of course when the Europeans arrived.
McConnell: Did the Indians initially see the Europeans as curiosities or as a threat and a danger, were they potential friends, what was their view?
Rountree: When they first met Europeans which would be in the sixteenth century they were curious, they learned pretty quickly that these people could be either friendly or threatening and they themselves became wary.
McConnell: How many Indians were here and how often would you have seen each other? How close were the tribal villages, how many people in each?
Rountree: We don't have good vital statistics from the early Jamestown years, we have only warrior counts that John Smith made so the population estimates based on that usually range between 15,000 and 25,000 people and that is for the whole coastal plain of Virginia and Maryland. That's not very many people, 25,000 max. But at the same time those people were all living along the rivers, not back inland, that was foraging territory, so the riverfront towns were constantly in touch with each other for politicking, courtship, visiting of relatives. The rivers would have been very very busy places and people were in constant touch with one another.
McConnell: Where do we get most of our Indian history from this period? The Indians themselves say their oral tradition's fairly limited and what do we have of their writings?
Townsend: Of their, the Indians' writings? Nothing.
Rountree: We have a very few oral traditions that were recorded by William Strachey and one or two by John Smith and that was all.
McConnell: Who's William Strachey?
Rountree: William Strachey was a colonist who arrived in 1610 and became secretary of the colony. He had already lived in Turkey; he had a classical education so he was actually interested in other cultures besides his own. I'd love to have known him, personally. So when he had a chance to work with interpreters—they had interpreters by 1610, Indian and Englishmen both—he was able to ask a whole raft of questions of these people. So he became the major writer, so far as I'm concerned, about the Powhatan culture. I think what I enjoy the most about Strachey is that he actually paid attention to the women and he is the one who records that Powhatan women had considerable sexual freedom; Strachey himself was a bit shocked by it. But the women had considerable autonomy, not only for the work that they did but in choosing husbands or being chosen by, it was mutual. They could get divorced; you can go on and on.
McConnell: Could they [get divorced]?
Rountree: Oh, divorce went on in the Indian world, of course.
McConnell: And they could turn down suitors?
Rountree: Yes, of course.
McConnell: In their writings, what do Strachey and Smith describe about the Indian lifestyle and personality, you know generally speaking, that they greatly admired?
Townsend: I think Smith admired the political savvy, if you will, of Powhatan. He certainly recognized that he was dealing with an equally intelligent, if not more intelligent, man.
McConnell: How did Smith and Powhatan come to know each other? Why didn't they fear being murdered by each other?
Townsend: They did. A relative of Powhatan's, Opechancanough, captured Smith and dragged him in to meet Powhatan in Werowocomoco, so Smith was entirely in Powhatan's power when he first met him.
McConnell: And had to fear for his life at every moment?
Rountree: He wrote just a few months later that he was scared the whole time.
Townsend: But at the time he was very frank that they had in fact been quite good to him. He could have killed him but that would not have served their purposes, they wanted to find out more about the English.
McConnell: Does this culminate in the legendary story of Pocahontas, the young daughter of Powhatan saving Smith from beheading?
Rountree: The only historical record we have got of it from anybody is a single sentence in John Smith's account written seventeen years later.
McConnell: Single sentence?
Rountree: One single sentence.
McConnell: What is it?
Rountree: She saw that her father was about to have him killed with his head on an alter stone and when she could not beg successfully for his life she put her head on his and he got a reprieve. That's basically what was said. The killing attempt, in the first place, made no sense in December 1607. That's no way to interrogate somebody and at that point in time Powhatan was dying to know a whole slew of things about these English, so why on Earth kill your informant? It made no sense.
Townsend: And indeed Smith himself when he wrote a report a few months, actually a few weeks later, a few weeks after his release and got sent to England a few months later, he made no reference to that, in fact he said as I mentioned that "they used me with what kindness that they could," it was something that he said many years later when all the principals except himself were dead and could not refute the story.
McConnell: This is disappointing though, because it's an amazing story, that this little girl would have put her head on his to save him.
Townsend: Well, but he said that about a number of young women [laughter] in the 1620s … he was a prolific writer, and a highly entertaining one I must say, and on three different occasions, on different travels, in different parts of the world he asserted that beautiful young women had thrown themselves at him in attempt to save him.
Rountree: Seventeenth-century rock star.
McConnell: Wait, so he said repeatedly that women so admired him that they saved him?
Townsend: He had been a captive in Russia and had shipwrecked in the Mediterranean and he made up, well, I believe he made up some stories on each occasion that a young woman had saved him.
McConnell: So let's look now then at Pocahontas, she's how old when we first hear of her?
Townsend: About eleven, maybe even younger.
McConnell: How old when she reportedly would have saved Smith's life?
Townsend: About ten or eleven when all that happened. But of course, it didn't happen and he didn't say that it had happened at first.
McConnell: What can you tell us with certainty about Pocahontas?
Townsend: She certainly must have been charming, of course we don't know what she looked like in fact, but the English people who dealt with her were by and large uniformly charmed. She was perceived to be witty and bright. When she married an Englishman the Virginia Company wanted to bring her to London as an advertisement essentially, that was how effective they thought she would be, moving and talking and smiling in English society.
McConnell: What else are we told about her, what other writing is there? We have an early witness of her frolicking in the Jamestown fort, then what?
Rountree: All of a sudden she is about sixteen or seventeen, she's already married, Strachey has told us that. She married kind of a non-entity among the Indian people and she is up on Potomac River visiting. That is where she was captured, Samuel Argall heard she was there and he coerced the Patawomeck people to give her up.
McConnell: So was she ransomed? Did Powhatan meet the demands?
Rountree: He met part of them and then he dawdled about the rest and that's why she spent a year in Jamestown during which she was converted. And with the conversion and the marriage to John Rolfe the business of ransom became moot.
McConnell: So what's all this about her being in love with John Smith?
Townsend: It's complete myth. She was taken literally at gunpoint; she was virtually a prisoner for a year, although she was treated quite well. Smith was long gone; he wasn't in the colony at that time. She lived with an evangelical reverend named Alexander Whitaker and in fact she did not convert during that year, the first year. She was put back on the same ship that had captured her with a bunch of English soldiers and they went up the York River looking for her father because the skirmishing had gotten worse and they were gonna use her as a hostage and in the midst of all of this, literally the battle scenes that were essentially going on, Pocahontas suddenly received a proposal of marriage from John Rolfe. Again, Smith was nowhere near, hadn't seen her since she was a child.
McConnell: Why did Rolfe want to marry her?
Rountree: He had fallen in love with her, or in lust actually.
Townsend: She may have felt real affection for him, too. Smith later asserted that John Rolfe had been her English teacher during this time but we don't know if that is true or not. She apparently agreed to marry Rolfe and they sent her two brothers, these emissaries, back to Powhatan, and he too agreed that this would be a good idea and that in exchange for this marriage he would cease to make war and would turn over the weapons and all the things the English wanted. She did then, within a week, convert and then marry John Rolfe. So it seems to me, not necessarily that she did it all completely unwillingly but that certainly she was making a political deal. After a year of living with a fervent pastor who wanted her to convert she finally does it a few days after this political agreement is reached. The war stops, a marriage agreement is made.
McConnell: Do you believe her conversion was genuine?
Townsend: We can't know what she was thinking. We can never know that, but it certainly is true that at first contact the indigenous peoples often were very willing to accept the notion of Jesus, but not necessarily as the only deity. They were accustomed to the idea that each people, or each culture, had their own god, their own religious figure and it made perfect sense that these people, these newcomers, also had a god. So it would have been entirely within keeping for her to have said, "Yes, I believe in Jesus." But that did not mean that in her own mind that she was necessarily rejecting her own people's religion or way of thinking about the universe or about God.
McConnell: Was she widely known in England? Was she greeted as a curiosity or a celebrity, or how would you describe it?
Rountree: Probably a curiosity, although one that certainly gratified the hearts of people who heard about her. She was the Indian who proved that English culture was better, she had converted.
Townsend: And I think some of them were impressed and some weren't. John Chamberlain, a well-to-do bachelor who made it his business to comment on the business of others in his extensive journals, made some very snide comments about her, but …
McConnell: What did he say about her?
Rountree: "Here is a portrait of no-fair lady."
Townsend: Right, because they had done an engraving of her that they were using as a pamphlet and this was not his idea of a pretty woman apparently.
McConnell: And did she die young?
Townsend: It was very young. They were on their way home and she sickened on the boat before they even pulled away so they pulled into Gravesend.
McConnell: And what did she die of, do you think?
Rountree: I think it was bloody flux. But my evidence is circumstantial, too.
Townsend: Right, I would tend to think a lung ailment, but again it's circumstantial.
McConnell: Tell me a little bit about the Pocahontas myth, how it evolved and changed to suit our understanding of the birth of our nation, or who we are as a people over time.
Townsend: It occurred in the early nineteenth century, that is, there were people in the late eighteenthcentury in Virginia who said that they were her descendants and this was picked up on a couple of times by travelers who put [it] into travel narratives and those things were widely read then, this was pre-TV. But it was in the early nineteenthcentury that this story was picked up on in a big way and made its way into textbooks, newspapers, poetry, etc. It was in the very era that the stories about Betsy Ross and George Washington and the cherry tree were also born, when our country, I would say, was hungry for national myths that made it seem as though the country was … deserved to be a country, was an entity, that it would succeed, that it had wonderful parts of its past that we could all be proud of and of course that story was very appealing to white Americans because it argued that a good Indian, a rational Indian saw what was so wonderful about our arrival, had no agenda, no disagreements with us, no quarrels, didn't even think about her own people's needs, but loved the English men, the English culture, the English language, and the English god better than she loved her own people. She was a good one, she knew what was good for her, and then we can all pat ourselves on the back. I think for that reason the story has lasted, too. It's appealing on all those levels for far more than just one generation.
McConnell: Can we talk about some of the other watershed moments in the relationship between the Indians and the settlers? What about Opechancanough's attack on Jamestown in 1622, for example?
Rountree: We don't know a great deal about what Opechancanough thought before 1622 because he was pulling a wonderful stunt on the English while Powhatan was alive, which means before 1618. It's almost as if you're watching the two brothers playing good cop and bad cop; Opechancanough was the good cop, leading the English on and acting friendly, and Powhatan, the real power that was at the time, was more like the bad cop. And Opechancanough kept that façade going right on up through 1622, until the day of the Great Assault, and one of the reasons that the English were so horrified was that they had thought that the man was their friend.
Townsend: Exactly, I think both Powhatan and Opechancanough would have been constantly reassessing when in fact Pocahontas's trip to England was probably a key event. It's clear that Powhatan sent senior advisors with Pocahontas. They wanted to find out more: how many of these English were there, was Jamestown just the tip of the iceberg or was that in fact the best the culture could do? What was the situation? One in particular, Uttamatomakkin, who was an advisor to both Powhatan and later to Opechancanough, is on record after his trip to England saying, "We got problems, these guys are not our friends." He knew that they were completely out-manned, out-gunned, out-shipped, on all levels, that their technology would fail to defeat the English, and in fact that is probably why they decided to attack so soon, so quickly, within a couple of years. If there was ever a moment when the Indians could at least delay the English it was in the beginning, before they had established themselves.
McConnell: Tell me about the attack, how successful was it?
Townsend: Very well timed, very well orchestrated, well planned, and in fact, would you not agree Helen, probably about a third of the colonial population was eliminated, was killed?
Rountree: Yes, but by the rules of Indian warfare, they didn't need to wipe out everybody, that was a European goal.
Townsend: Exactly, they just needed to make the point: Get out or you're gonna have more problems with us.
McConnell: What happened after the 1622 attack, were there other attacks later?
Rountree: Oh yes, you see the 1622 thing did not drive the English out, obviously so Opechancanough organized another swipe at the English in 1644, April of 1644.
McConnell: About how many were killed in each attack?
Rountree: Three hundred odd. The count in 1622 was officially three hundred forty-seven but it probably wasn't accurate.
McConnell: So what became of Virginia's Indian population after that last attack?
Rountree: Oh, they got flooded out by settlers.
McConnell: They just kept moving west?
Rountree: No they didn't move west, they were left on islands here in the East.
McConnell: Such as?
Rountree: Such as the area called Pamunkey Neck, which had Pamunkeys, Mattaponis, and Chickahominies living in it. That remained an Indian refuge area, an official one, until 1701 when settlers were allowed in, but the reservations are still there. Indian folks generally, in Virginia at least, stayed in place.
McConnell: What about disease?
Rountree: No good records about it. I've scoured the county records for this kind of thing, indicating Indians were mowed down by disease and it wasn't happening.
McConnell: Don't historians say it did?
Rountree: Yes, they generally do, but there are some rather good reasons why it did not. Indian people were still living in small settlements, not in cities. Mass mortality occurs in cities where people are living jammed up together and the sanitation is poor and the germs spread rapidly. In small hamlets, especially where people are fanning out from them, in two seasons of the year you're not going to have anything like the spread of disease and therefore nothing like that kind of mortality.
McConnell: So if we had 25,000 Indians to start with, where did they go? We don't have 25,000 now.
Rountree: The Indians went a number of places. Yes, a fair number of them died, wars killed them off too. But some of the Indian people simply spun off into English society, they became first employees and later English-style householders. That's technically called spin-off. It's an individual or family decision and you stay right in place but you change your ethnic identity. In the early colony, by the way, it was English who spun off into Indian society because there was more to eat there.
McConnell: As we approach 2007 should we try to look at what happened as an invasion as opposed to the conventional, historical notion of arrival and the birth of a nation?
Rountree: I think we should see it both ways. There were two sets of people in Virginia in the early Jamestown years. Native Americans and English. You cannot expect only one version to be the correct, truthful version. They were seeing things in opposite ways, so there are two different ways of looking at the situation. So far as the people native to Virginia were concerned, yes, it was an invasion, although it took several years for them to realize that an invasion was what it was because the English were lying about it: "Oh we're just visitors!"
Townsend: I would add that perhaps we should go even further and remind ourselves that even though of course each side was behaving in its own best interest, neither side was perfect, but in fact there was a grand loser here and a grand winner and that it always behooves us to think carefully what it means to be the loser even if we are not on that side, always behooves us to think what it feels like to be the people who are descended from the Indians or who are their cultural heirs, if you will, and not simply to celebrate it as a moment of victory and a moment of beginnings. It was also the beginning of the end for many other people.
McConnell: What's your take on this new film that has come out, the Terrence Malick film called The New World, which apparently is centered … was filmed in Virginia primarily and centered around the notion that Pocahontas and John Smith fell in love with each other?
Rountree: I haven't seen the movie but if they're going to do a romance between Pocahontas and John Smith I'm gonna have difficulties sitting through it.
Townsend: The director and producer clearly have made a great effort to get the scenery right, the costumes right, even in some cases a sense of the language and the dialects right, but have gotten it basically, deeply, very wrong in ascribing as usual the motivation to the young Indian woman is that she had the hots for the great white man.
McConnell: I'm also curious, though, whether you think it does help move forward in a positive way America's more sympathetic understanding of the complexity of this native people?
Townsend: Well, I hope that the movie does that. My understanding from critics who have been allowed to see it before it is released to the theaters is that it does not—that her motivation for all that she did, that is for leaving her own people, marrying a white man, going to London, etc., was simply that of being in love with an Englishman, worshipping him almost. The real story is in fact extremely interesting; the pressures that she was under, the decisions that she made, the reasons that she made those decisions should be the center of a movie, of a story that we want to watch, that we want to hear about in terms of what it tells us about the inception of this country.
Rountree: My feeling is a little the same as I had about the 1995 Disney cartoon, which was probably just about as accurate as Malick's movie. If it gets the more serious people to start asking questions and trying to find out what really happened then it's a good thing, and I can live with the movie—which is just as well because I have to live with it. (Laughter)
McConnell: Well, Helen Rountree and Camilla Townsend thank you so much for sharing your insights today on With Good Reason.
Townsend/Rountree: Thank you.

Dr. Hawrylyshyn croit que ces jeunes Ukrainiens vont former une masse critique de personnes capables de transformer l'Ukraine.

Le principal programme de la Fondation est le programme « Jeune génération va changer l'Ukraine ». Il est créé sous la forme d'étude-voyage international. Selon ce programme, les groupes sélectionnés de jeunes gens choisissent l'un des six pays européens, à savoir l'Autriche, l'Allemagne, la Norvège, la Suède, la Suisse ou la Pologne pour faire un voyage d'étude et examiner leurs systèmes économique, politique, écologique et sociale. Ensuite ces jeunes gens peuvent utiliser ces connaissances dans leurs carrières politiques ou civiles pour la transformation de l'Ukraine. Les résultats des études seront présentées dans les médias et dans différents événements.

Des groupes examinent généralement les questions différentes, surtout le système parlementaire, la politique sociale du pays, la politique environnementale, les médias, le rôle que jouent les jeunes dans le gouvernement du pays et dans le secteur public.

Justin Bieber turned 24 on March 1, 2018, but he's been earning millions for a decade already. The Canadian Youtube sensation rose to fame after Usher's interest in him, quickly becoming a heartthrob among teeny boppers. Today, he has a net worth of $265 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.
His earnings come from concerts, endorsements, and music album sales. His music sales total $44.7 million in the United States alone, and he has sold an estimated 140 million album copies, which makes him one of the world's best-selling stars. His endorsements with Calvin Klein, Adidas, and more bring him millions each year. Bieber is the 13th highest paid celebrity in the world according to Forbes.
Bieber has 100 million followers on Twitter, a number he reached on August 2017. The only other celebrity who has more followers is Katy Perry. He also surpassed 10 billion total Vevo video views–the only singer to reach that number. His career has been plagued by scandals, but he still draws millions to see him perform.
Bieber earned $83.5 million in 2017, according to Forbes. This is the singer's highest yearly income so far. In 2010, he was only worth $500,000 in 2010, but by July 2014 had reached $200-million milestone.
The "Purpose" tour was one of Bieber's most successful tours in history. The tour had 140 shows and sold nearly 2.77 million tickets each worth an average of around $93. According to Billboard, the tour made $250 million total around the world. In 2016, the tour earned $163.3 million and was the sixth best selling tour of 2016.
Bieber's 'Purpose' Tour merchandise was a hit with stars like Robbie Williams and Brooklyn Beckham who were seen wearing the hoodies sold on ASOS and H&M. Numbers aren't released, but a store owner said it had broken records three days in a row.
Related to music, Bieber has made two documentaries. Never Say Never, released in 2011 and named after one of his songs, grossed about $73 million domestically and $26 million in foreign countries, according to Box Office Mojo. Believe, released in 2013, grossed $6 million.
Looking back, Bieber's wealth has always been on an upward trajectory. At age 20, he topped Forbes' list of under 30 celebs earning the most of everyone with $80 million. Most of his wealth at that time also came from tours. When he was 19, he earned $58 million from the revenues of his 2012 and 2013 parts of the "Believe" tour. He earned an extra $14.43 million from YouTube views. Bieber also earned a reported $400,000 per concert appearance in 2012. An accumulated $7.1 million came from the "Believe" album sales, and $12.25 million from 35 shows on his "Believe" tour.
His song "Sorry" was the most streamed song ever, until that spot was taken by Luis Fonso's "Despacito," which Bieber also appeared on.
Bieber's Calvin Klein endorsement had a big impact on his wealth, and he had a big impact on the brand. Calvin Klein got a 13% rise in one quarter thanks to the Bieber underwear campaign. That's an increase to about $723 million from $654 million in the prior quarter, according to Racked. It's not clear how much Bieber made from the ads, but other Calvin Klein contracts have been around $4 million.
His ad for Calvin Klein, above, featured him playing drums and shots with model Lara Stone. He also posed for a number of magazine and billboard ads.
Bieber was also part of an Adidas campaign alongside NBA star Derrick Rose and Venus Williams in 2012. He reportedly wears Adidas shoes while on tour, and as the face of the brand earned $3 million in a three-year contract signed in 2012. and he endorses Beats By Dre, Elizabeth Arden, Proactiv, and Best Buy.
He released four fragrances for men and women along with his debut song Someday, resulting in an earning of more than $3 million at Macy's in just three weeks. The perfume line became the best-selling celebrity fragrance ever and the best-selling new women's fragrance of any kind brought out in 2011, according to the New York Times.
Bieber lives a high-profile life and he spends his earnings on buying luxury homes and cars. He purchased a 9,214 sq. ft., $6.5 million mansion in Calabasas, California in 2012, but sold it just two years later to Khloe Kardashian for $7.2 million. His partygoing nature clashed with the calm feel of the neighborhood, according to Time.
Bieber also rented two condos in a swanky and posh Beverly Hills building, again irking the neighbors. The first was a Beverly Hills mansion where he paid $60,000 per month in rent. Next, he lived in a home in the same area for $35,000 per month. Justin Bieber also lived in Montage hotel in Beverly Hills, according to TMZ.
According to Daily Mail, Bieber also purchased a penthouse in Amsterdam for $29 million and splurged on a costly Family Guy Ruby and diamond necklace for $25,000. He owns a Ducati 848 Evo worth $10,000, and a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe worth $100,000.
Recently, Bieber reportedly became interested in an $11 million Brentwood property. He currently rents a West Hollywood home for about $55,000 a month as of April 2018.
Bieber's partying has sometimes gotten him in trouble. In early 2013, he was photographed holding marijuana. In 2014, his neighbors accused him of pelting their property with rotten eggs. Also in 2014, he was arrested for drag racing in Miami in a yellow Lamborghini. Traces of marijuana and alcohol were found in Justin's blood during the check after the incident. He's also been involved in several car accidents, one involving a pedestrian. Aside from these, he's been involved in numerous scandals–from yelling at paparazzi to being seen leaving a brothel to having his guards carry him up the stairs of the Great Wall of China.
During his Tokyo tour in April 2014, Bieber outraged the internet users with a selfie against Yasukuni Shrine, a revered military memorial in Japan. Similarly, during an individual tour of the Sistine Chapel, he paid a €20 thousand as fine for starting to play with a football between the corridors of the Vatican Museum. In 2013, he visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam and said he hoped she would have been a "belieber," causing outrage.
Bieber and singer Selena Gomez had a on-again-off-again relationship that started in 2010. Their relationship became so intense in 2011, Selena Gomez removed the ring she had put on her finger in 2004 as a vow to stay a virgin until marriage. They broke up again in 2012, but there are always rumors that they're still in love and will get back together.
Since Gomez, Justin has dated Hailey Baldwin, Moldovan model Xenia Delhi, and Kourtney Kardashian, among others.
Justin Bieber's reputation took a nosedive due to the above mentioned scandals, but he has been consistent throughout his career in donating and fundraising. On his 17th birthday, Bieber encouraged people to donate to a clean water campaign, raising more than $47,148. He did the same on his 18th birthday, bringing in $19,591.
Bieber has donated the $3 million income from his Someday perfume to charity, and has participated in numerous benefit concerts for different causes. He also donated to the Stratford House of Blessing food bank via an eBay auction in which a pair of his Nike basketball shoes sold for $62,000. Other charities he's donated to over the years include the ACLU of Southern California, ALS Association, Alzheimer's Association, Autism Movement Therapy, charity:water, Children's Miracle Network Hospital, City of Hope, Comic Relief, Cure Duchenne, Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, DoSomething.org, Food Bank for New York City, Give Back Hollywood Foundation, GRAMMY Foundation, It Gets Better Project, Jumpstart, KaBOOM!, Make-A-Wish-Foundation, Musicians on Call, Pencils of Promise, PETA, Red Cross, Save the Children, Starship Foundation, Usher's New Look Foundation, and World Vision.
He is the first recording artist to grant 250 wishes via the Make-A-Wish Foundation. In 2015, he gifted the shoes off his feet to a child in Guatemala. Justin Bieber received the Champ of Charity honor at the Young Hollywood Awards in 2014, which was awarded by a Make A Wish charity receiver.
Justin Bieber's Purpose Tour was his best-selling tour ever, helping his net worth climb and making him one of the highest-paid celebrities in the world.

Q: How do I get the edit text value in text view from an alert box in android java? I want to get some integer value from the user he/she click on the an alert box will show and asks for enter the total budget. When he/she puts the total budget in the alert box field then it'll be show in text view in the same activity.

A: Each dialog has a positive button, and that positive button has a callback where you can get the text from edit text, like Edittext.getText and display it for textview like TextView.setText.
AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this).create();
alertDialog.setTitle("Alert");
alertDialog.setMessage("Alert message to be shown");
alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE, "OK",
    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        // your work here
        textview.setText = Edittext.getText

            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });
alertDialog.show();

A: Do refer to topic regarding custom dialog box:
How to create a Custom Dialog box in android?
You can create a custom dialog box that have a custom layout
R.layout.budget_dialog:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:background="#ffffffff">

  <EditText
    android:layout_width="250dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/edit_budget"
    android:hint="Enter budget"
    android:layout_below="@+id/a"
    android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    android:textColor="#ff000000"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal" />

  <Button
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="30dp"
    android:text="OK"
    android:id="@+id/btn_dialog"
    android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
    android:layout_below="@+id/text_dialog"
    android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
    android:background="@drawable/btn_flat_red_selector"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:textColor="#ffffffff" />

</RelativeLayout>

And then obtain the value by:
public void showDialog(Activity activity, String msg){
    final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(activity);
    dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    dialog.setCancelable(false);
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.budget_dialog);

    final EditText edtBudget = dialog.findViewById(R.id.edit_budget);
    Button dialogButton = dialog.findViewById(R.id.btn_dialog);
    dialogButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //Get budget string value
            String budget = edtBudget.getText().toString();
            //Do something with your value
            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });

    dialog.show();

}

Danilo and Anna Maria Zanzucchi talk with CNA about their reflections for Good Friday.
Rome, Italy, Mar 29, 2012 / 02:07 am ().- Pope Benedict XVI's meditations for the upcoming Good Friday Stations of the Cross ceremony have been written by an Italian couple that has been married for nearly 50 years.
"In all of the moments of the Stations of the Cross, there were special moments within us for the family," Anna Maria Zanzucchi told CNA in a recent interview.
"They were taken on by Jesus to redeem the family, and this was the strongest thing that we confronted, and the path that we have always followed illumined us, we were illuminated by the grace concentrated in the stations," Anna Maria explained.
The traditional Catholic practice of praying the Stations of the Cross is done each Friday of Lent. The liturgy involves remembering and reflecting on 14 different moments in the passion and death of Jesus.
Traditionally, the Pope leads a procession of pilgrims in praying the stations on the evening of Good Friday at Rome's Colosseum. At each station, the Pope recalls the particular moment of Christ's passion and reads a reflection. This year, the meditations will come from the Zanzucchis.
The Vatican asked 83-year-old Anna Maria and her 92-year-old husband Danilo to write this year's stations. The Zanzucchi's explained that they compiled the prayers with the help of the Holy Spirit and their own experience of family life.
The couple has known each other since 1952, when Danilo proposed within a day of meeting Anna Maria. She said "yes" and they were married the following spring. They went on to have five children.
"It is God who helps the family and society to rebuild themselves, to live as true men," said Danilo.
"The family needs to be renewed, to be reinforced, to be united," added Anna Maria.

Is this the BlackBerry Mercury, complete with QWERTY keyboard?
BlackBerry is having one final, three-pronged go at the handset game: we've seen the DTEK50 and DTEK60, and the last in the series, the DTEK70 or BlackBerry Mercury, is supposedly going to come with a classic BlackBerry-style keyboard.
Now we have what could be our first look at the upcoming Mercury with a set of images leaked on Weibo, a Chinese Twitter-style social networking platform – the images show a strangely-shaped handset, running Android and with a QWERTY keyboard at the bottom.
As GSMArena reports, the pictures aren't dissimilar to others leaked back in June from an internal BlackBerry presentation. It was early in the summer that news first started to spread about BlackBerry's three-handset plans.
The specs rumored so far include a 4.5-inch display (with the unusual 3:2 ratio we just mentioned), a 2.0GHz Qualcomm CPU, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The phone will reportedly come rocking an 18MP rear camera and an 8MP snapper at the front.
As for a launch date, Q1 2017 has been mentioned, so we shouldn't have too long to wait to hear something official. If you're in the market for an BlackBerry handset with a real physical keyboard, this might be your last chance.
While the photos do match what we've heard about the BlackBerry Mercury so far, they're not from one of the most reputable sources on the web, so we wouldn't bet the house on this being the final design just yet.

Binding Nomination Made Under Power of Attorney - some answers
Marita Wall
Death Benefits
Superannuation Trustees
Can a superannuation fund accept a binding death benefit nomination executed under a power of attorney? This is a question funds have been asking for a long time.
Finally, we have some answers.On 24 August 2018, the Supreme Court of Queensland considered this question in depth in Re Narumon Pty Ltd [2018] QSC 185. In a nutshell, Bowskill J held that:
confirmation of the deceased member's existing binding nomination COULD be executed under a power of attorney BUT
the new binding nomination could NOT be executed under a power of attorney (primarily because the Court found that the attorney had a conflict of interest).
Her Honour found that different treatment was necessary because executing the new binding nomination was a conflict transaction (not authorised by the deceased member). In contrast, the confirmation was merely extending the timeline for the deceased's wishes (even though there was also a conflict for this document).
Some caution
The Court's answer in Narumon will not automatically apply in every case.This case involved an SMSF, so it was not necessary for the Court to consider the SIS provisions governing binding nominations, although Her Honour did observe that there does not appear to be any restriction in SIS that would prevent an attorney, under an enduring power of attorney, from executing a binding nomination on behalf of a member.In fact, this decision turned on the constructions of the Power of Attorney Act (Qld).Whether a valid binding nomination can be executed under a power of attorney requires considering:
the laws of the relevant State or Territory (in particular the laws governing powers of attorney)- Tasmania is the only jurisdiction that specifically refers to superannuation;
the general law (including fiduciary duties and laws of conflict);
the power of attorney document in question (which might, for example, specifically allow an attorney to act if there is a conflict);
the Fund's trust deed – many now state that a binding nomination executed by a member's attorney will not be binding on the Trustee;
superannuation law (SIS) – which is addressed in detail in the Narumon case; and
the type of superannuation fund - the Narumon case involved a SMSF and different considerations apply to other types of funds.
Interestingly, Her Honour also found that the binding nomination was not entirely invalid even though 5% of the benefit was left to a person who was not a dependant – it was only invalid to the extent of that portion.

Brand new member to the forum and about to become a first time player this weekend. Found the sport by accident via a Unilad post on Facebook and thanks to the likes of Scoutthedoggie on youtube have become rather interested in it and somewhat surprised it is not as well known as the likes of paint-balling.
I should add I'm based just outside of Glasgow in Scotland and there is a real lack of sites. I'm playing indoor at the depot on Sunday and was wondering if there is a reason there aren't more indoor sites; is it a lack of players? I ask as the depot only seems to run events every couple of weeks and a site open more often would seemingly be good and I am potentially interested in taking that idea forward into reality but would love your feedback as I am brand new to this.
**Also any tips on what to wear bring with me to my first game would be grand!
Everything Duck says plus I'd reccomend some gloves if possible.

Q: Is Rosehip Syrup boiling in a bottle? My wife made Rose-hip syrup and the final part was boiling it in a saucepan. While still hot she placed it  in a glass bottle. To keep it sterile she plugged it with a wine-saver top and sucked out some of the air - so the (inch or so) space in the bottle is at lower than atmospheric pressure. Large bubbles are spontaneously appearing in the bottle and quickly rising to the top. This has been happening for half an hour. The bottle is still quite warm . It looks like it is on a slow boil: is it?

A: If you fill a bottle with hot water, the water in contact with the sides cools quickly.  This sets up convection currents, which help to cool the whole bottle, and ensure its temperature is rather uniform.
The syrup is viscous, so this doesn't happen.  The syrup in the centre of the bottle remains hot - maybe 80 C after half an hour.  The coldest part of the syrup is probably where the top surface meets the glass - which might be, say 50 C.  At 80 C, the saturated vapour pressure of pure water is 0.47 bar, while at 50 C it is only 0.12 bar.  The numbers will be slightly different for syrup, of course.
Provided the air left in the bottle has a pressure less than the difference (0.35 mbar), the pressure in the bottle will be below 0.47 bar, causing the hot syrup in the middle to boil.  The bubble of steam will recondense at the top.  Unlike natural convection, which is driven by the tiny density variations in the syrup, the movement of the steam bubble is driven by the very large density difference between steam and syrup, so it now takes over as the most effective method of heat transfer.
This only works because the steam condenses when it encounters cooler syrup at the top of the bottle.  Otherwise the space above the syrup would immediately fill up with steam and boiling would stop.

A: Yes, it's boiling.  The clue is that you said some of the air above the liquid was sucked out, so the pressure is significantly lower than normal atmospheric.
Boiling happens when the gas pressure at the surface of a liquid is lower than the liquid's vapor pressure.  When boiling something in a open container, we heat it to make it boil.  Water boils at 100°C because that is when its vapor pressure reaches one atmosphere.  We sometimes forget that pressure is the other variable that decides when a liquid boils.  You can just as well boil water by lowering the pressure above it as raising its temperature.  There are things called steam tables that give the vapor pressure of water at various temparatures.
This is the reason that water boils at a lower temperature than 100°C at high elevations.  The air pressure is lower, so it takes a lower vapor pressure for water to boil, which requires a lower temperature to reach.  This is also the same reason that the temperature in a pressure cooker is higher than normal "boiling" temperature.  Pressure is deliberately regulated to a higher than normal level in the pressure cooker, which requires higher temperature to keep the water at the boiling point.


On September 23, 1962 the Jetsons premiered on American television. Produced by Hanna-Barbera this show was a futuristic counterpart of The Flintstones. The exact date of when the cartoon takes place is not known, however some believe that it was set in the year 2000 or 2062. The cartoon showed us what the future might hold for us in 2000s—talking watches, video calls, flying cars and robot maids.
Hmmmmmm…Fast forward to today and most of the technology that was imagined in the show is actually in existence. Through the years we have made advances in the technology we use to make our day to day lives safer and more convenient. From automated blinds, to wearable devices that keep us connected. Our imagination is limitless and we need to give a shout out to George Jetson for planting a seed in our young minds back in 1962.
We might not have flying cars or Rosie yet, but we do have awesome gadgets that push us a bit closer to the futuristic world in the cartoon. Take for instance the Smart Home.
Smart Homes used to just be a concept you learned about on the Carousel of Progress at Walt Disney World, or a few booths you find at CES (Consumer Electronics Show). Now builders, architects and homeowners are customizing and building smart homes that control just about everything. The concept of the smart home is not to just be smart, but to be engaging and resourceful. People use "smart" nowadays with just about any product that is wireless. However making your home "smart" is more than installing and controlling things via WiFi. It is integrating technology seamlessly with your lifestyle to provide safety and comfort at a tap of a screen.
Imagine you come home from work and your house is ready to greet you with the perfect setting just as you like it. Your blinds are set to expose the sunset, while your dishwasher just finished drying your dirty dishes. An alarm gently reminds you that the wine you have chilling in the refrigerator is now ready to be uncorked, as you walk to the kitchen to pour a glass of wine music fills the room with your current playlist. Mood lighting throughout the house slowly comes on to the desired level. This is the type of comfort your home can bring you.
Besides comfort "smart" homes can also bring you security. From an alert at the first drop of water on your floor to a broken window, to even notifying you when someone has entered the grounds of your home…all of these safety features are now possible.
So isn't it about time you get acquainted with your old friend George Jetson and begin to delve into learning and designing your smart home? Sound Specialists is on the forefront of smart home integration in the Chicago area. Our focus is to provide our clients with state-of-the-art lifestyle technologies that adds convenience and safety to your everyday life.

(Almost) Everything You Read About Threading Is Wrong!
Threading is on the front pages more than ever, so to speak. Where only a few years ago programmers could brush the topic aside as complicated and not-very-useful, it's increasingly harder to hide behind those excuses. Multi-core systems are the status quo and the only real way to get better performance (read: scale) is to have multi-threaded code.
// Can x be anything but 1 at this point?
There is no shortage of this type of questions. And there is no shortage of answers either!
The only correct answer to the above question is: It depends on the language!
What does the keyword volatile do? Same answer.
int b = y; // if b == 0, is a == 1?
Here is a pdf presentation of a lock-free hashtable in Java. Here is the video presentation. Again, if the same algorithm implemented in a different language, the result will be different. Namely, it won't work.
Why? Because the memory models are different. C++ has a very, very different memory model than .Net than Java. (It wouldn't be entirely wrong to say that C/C++ don't define any memory coherency models as such.) Each in their turn probably have a different memory model from other languages. And talking about threading without knowing the memory model is like assuming you can drive at the same speed on all roads. Well, some aren't even paved, yet some have minimum speed.
It's very unfortunate that an already complex subject is made even more confusing by the differences in languages and their guarantees, or lack thereof. There is no shortage of confused, misleading and downright incorrect information when it comes to threading. Consider that locks don't even protect your code against out-of-order execution. But in which language is that?
This is made even more complicated by the fact that processors and hardware architectures come with their own set of guarantees and reservations. So reading on those without taking into account what the language in question abstracts from the hardware, is yet another way to throw oneself in the rabbit hole.
So, the next time you read (or write) about threading issues, make sure you know which language is in question. If it doesn't say, stop reading. Without that small one-word detail, everything you learn is wrong, regardless of how detailed and coherent it is. Because precise doesn't necessarily mean accurate.

Law in Public Law
As case law, Diana, PARC, and Mills had a limited impact on schools. Although these cases established important legal precedents and that would be eventually codified into law in Public Law 142 and IDEA, case law such as is presented in Diana, PARC, and Mills still leaves room for interpretation. While Diana, PARC and Mills were legally binding for the school districts that were within the jurisdiction of their respective court, these cases had a theoretically limited application for schools that were not within these jurisdictions.
Only the U. S. Supreme Court has the authority to establish case law that applies to all jurisdictions within the United States. Consequently, while Brown v. Board of Education directly affected every public school in the United States by immediately banning racial segregation, Diana, PARC, Mills and other cases that were decided at the district court or appellate court level did not necessarily have nation-wide implications. Those jurisdictional limitations, however, were removed when Congress passed IDEA. With IDEA, the federal government took on the role of dictating educational policy to state departments of education and local school boards.
Whereas Diana, PARC, and Mills addressed specific cases within specific jurisdictions, IDEA now applied the same standards and procedures to all cases within all schools in the United States. Schools, for example, had less control over which students would receive special education services and which would not. The nature of special education services also changed, as schools were forced to comply with the standards of the new national law. The effect on schools was immediate and dramatic. Between 1976 and 1999, special education enrollment in public schools in the United States increased from 3.
7 million to 6. 1 million. By 2001, one in ten children in the United States received some kind of special education services (Seligmann, 2001). While applying the same standards to all states and all schools has an egalitarian appeal that is consistent with American ideas of democracy and fairness, problems arise when policies are applied in a blanket manner which fails to recognize the unique needs of individual students or of individual schools. As the Supreme Court noted in Rowley, problems also arise when the professional judgment of educators is dismissed or overruled by parents or agencies.
Conclusion Education is an inherently political issue. The Framers of the Constitution, which included the founder of the University of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, felt that the establishment of educational policy was best left to the various states to decide as they saw fit. The 20th century saw a steady erosion of state and local control over the public schools within their respective domains, first through the courts and eventually through federal laws that included economic incentives and punishments for noncompliance.
One of the areas that has been significantly affected by federal law has been special education. It is true that cases like Mills and PARC illustrate the very real need for courts and government agencies to intervene on behalf of students who are not receiving an appropriate education. Just as it is unlikely that racial integration would have occurred without the leadership of the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education, it is also unlikely that discrimination of students who have disabilities would have occurred without the leadership of the courts in cases like PARC, Mills, and others.
The precedents that were established by these cases, however, have created onerous economic and administrative burdens on state and local school systems. These burdens are increased by unfunded mandates such as IDEA, in which funds that are promised y Congress are never delivered to school districts, yet districts are penalized for noncompliance regardless of their economic circumstances. Increased special education enrollment has led to increased strain on school budgets.
It is possible that one of the reasons why American students perform so poorly on tests that compare them with students from other Western nations is because schools in the United States are required to spend so much more money and dedicate such a large portion of their resources to meeting the needs of special education students. This perspective suggests that if the United States is to once again become a leader or even a competitor in a global economy, then more resources should be invested in teaching our brightest students.
In Rowley, the Supreme Court recognized the unrealistic demands and expectations that have been placed on schools and the services that schools provide for special education students. Holland also recognized that considerations about special education placement cannot be made in a vacuum, but must take several factors into consideration, including how such a placement will affect other, non-disabled students.
These are only two cases, however, and they have yet to be codified into law in the same way that the provisions of PARC were reflected in IDEA. Special education teachers and school administrators can help their schools and their students by explaining the realities of special education law to parents and, when appropriate, to students. Students are entitled to FAPE, but FAPE is limited to an education that is consistent with the quality of education that is delivered to all other students.
FAPE does not mean unlimited resources at no cost to the parent. Schools can also improve the educational outcomes of their special education students by explaining the benefits and complications of inclusion to the parents of their special education students. Instead of relying on blanket policies about inclusion, IEP teams should emphasize the individual nature of the student's IEP and develop a program that best meets the academic and social needs of the student.
Finally, schools must demonstrate to their students and to the parents of students who have disabilities that the decisions that are made about the student's education are based on what is best for the student.

Joshua Winn
Fellowship Years
Joshua (Josh) Winn, PhD, is a professor of astrophysical sciences at Princeton University. His research goals are to explore the properties of planets around other stars, to understand how planets form and evolve, and to make progress on the age-old question of whether there are other planets capable of supporting life. His group uses optical and infrared telescopes to study exoplanetary systems, especially those in which the star and planet eclipse one another.
Recent work has focused on the orbital architecture of planetary systems: the sizes, shapes, and orientations of the orbits, and the stellar obliquity. He was a participating scientist in the NASA Kepler mission and is a co-investigator in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), a mission scheduled for launch in late 2017. Over the years, he and his group have also pursued topics in stellar astronomy, planetary dynamics, radio interferometry, gravitational lensing, and photonic bandgap materials. In 2015, he recorded a series of 24 lectures on exoplanets, available from the Great Courses.
Professor Winn graduated from MIT in 1994 with an SB and SM in physics. After spending a year as a Fulbright Scholar in the UK, at Cambridge University, he returned to MIT as a Hertz Fellow. While in graduate school, he worked in medical physics, condensed-matter physics, and astrophysics, and wrote for the science section of The Economist. After earning his PhD in physics in 2001, Winn subsequently held an NSF and a Hubble postdoctoral fellowships at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He was on the MIT physics faculty for 10 years, before moving to Princeton in 2016.
Josh is from Deerfield, Illinois.

These are the young women who volunteered to drive tractors and work in the fields around Wivenhoe in 1942.
Clive Peck said: Florrie worked as a land army girl at Cockaynes Lane Farm for Mr Swann. No tractors, just a cart horse. No war time prisoners at this farm but Florrie tells me there were some working at the Ford Lane Farm in Alresford. One of prisoners there married an Alresford girl who had lost her first husband in the war.
January 2017, Hilary Wadley added: Almost a family photograph with three, possibly four, of my relatives! Mary Braithwaite is my aunt – now Mary Street, now nearly 94, and living in Rowhedge. Joan Potter was another aunt, My mother is sure that this is really her sister, Barbara Potter in the back row second from right. She also believes centre front row may actually be Joan Potter. Audrey Ablitt is my husband, Graham's aunt. She lived in Hamilton Road Wivenhoe. She is now Audrey Hague, aged 93, and has lived near Manchester since the end of WWII.

For reasons best known to themselves, the student film society at CWRU has chosen to revive perhaps the least known or hailed big-budget entry in the formidable filmography of Christopher Nolan (MEMENTO, BATMAN BEGINS, INCEPTION, INTERSTELLAR etc.) Perhaps sending a message to the fresh generation of young undergrads now fresh on campus: the economy is terrible, there are no jobs worth s*** waiting for you upon receiving that diploma, student-loan debt will crush you, and very soon everything you're working on so hard right now will be forgotten. Like this movie.
At least that's what I like to tell students. I consider it somewhat of an ethical civic duty.
INSOMNIA, from 2003, was Nolan's rather needless remake of a superior 1997 Norwegian film noir of the same title from director Erik Skjoldbjaerg. The original even starred a Scandinavian thespian with international name value, Stellan Skarsgard. Still, here it was, the chilly material served re-heated a la Nolan.
"A good cop can't sleep because part of the puzzle is missing. A bad cop can't sleep because his conscience won't let him." A credo uttered by LAPD top-cop Det. Will Dormer (a haggard Al Pacino). Dormer shows up his partner Hap (Martin Donovan), off their regular beat in a halibut-fishing village called Nightmute, Alaska, to investigate the bludgeoning death of a teen girl. Why an LA police officer suddenly makes the Arctic Circle his jurisdiction is an unlikely detail Nolan obscures by making Dormer on the run from a scandal back home, where Internal Affairs is threatening to reverse convictions of all the street scum collared earlier in his career.
In Nightmute he is at least among friends, hero-worshipping small-town lawmen like young detective Ellie Burr (Hilary Swank), who hangs on his every aphorism and swagger. Dormer takes charge of figuring who killed the Laura Palmer-like victim.
Dormer's judgments and reactions become clouded by the incessant Alaskan daylight, which creates his chronic insomnia. He arranges a trap for the culprit, but in the fog fires a wild shot that instead kills Hap – who, coincidentally, was going to testify against Dormer once they returned to California.
Pacino affects a strange accent (Cajun?) but otherwise delivers a decent performance as an alpha-male type caught in a web of his dishonesty, caused to finally question his own motives. Nolan spikes the narrative with staccato flashbacks and strives to milk the setting's gimmick of unending pale daylight that denies Dormer any respite and illuminates the dark side he tries to hide. Still, David Fincher's FIGHT CLUB did the whole sleep-deprivation-leads-to-madness bit somewhat better.
While the original, better INSOMNIA ended on a haunting note of moral collapse, the USA do-over finishes with a tidier Hollywood ending. A little jeopardy, some action, a final redemption, and you're free to go. Unlike the Skjoldbjaerg film, that really won't leave your head, or at least it didn't leave mine. Almost like a bad dream. Try to catch that one some time.
