Supergirl est le nom de plusieurs personnages de fiction appartenant à l'univers de DC Comics. Les Supergirls sont des dérivés féminin de Superman, plusieurs personnages basés sur le même principe ont fait quelques apparitions dans les comics avant la création de Supergirl.

La première Supergirl officielle Kara Zor-El est apparue pour la première fois dans le comic book Action Comics #252 (mai 1959). Depuis 1985 avec les événements de Crisis on Infinite Earths où elle trouva la mort, elle est remplacée Linda Danvers et Cir-El. En 2004, le personnage de Kara Zor-El est réintroduit dans la continuité de l'Univers DC.

Supergirl est également le titre de plusieurs séries de comics basées sur le personnage. Il existe également des versions alternatives du personnage hors de la continuité principale de l'Univers DC. Supergirl est apparue dans un film homonyme, plusieurs séries télévisées et des jeux vidéo.

Précurseurs
Le concept de donner les pouvoirs de Superman à un personnage féminin date d'avant la première apparition de Supergirl. Plusieurs personnages féminins possédant ses capacités ont effectué de brefs passages dans les comics.

 Superwoman / Lois Lane : Lois Lane possède ses pouvoirs pour la première fois dans Action Comics #60 (mai 1943).

 Super-Sister / Claire Kent : Superboy / Clark Kent empêche un crash et sauve la vie d'une femelle extraterrestre nommée Shar-La dans Superboy #78 (janvier 1960). Étant télépathe, elle arrive à lire les pensées de Superboy et en apprenant son opinion des femmes conductrices. Elle le transforme en fille Claire Kent.

 Super-Girl : Dans le comic Superman #123 (août 1958), Super-Girl apparaît après que Jimmy Olsen trouve un totem indien magique et fait le vœu que Superman ait un faire-valoir féminin. La réaction des lecteurs pour cette histoire a été positive, un an plus tard, une Supergirl, kryptonienne cette fois, a été ajoutée à l'univers DC.

Personnages
La première et la plus célèbre Supergirl est Kara Zor-El. Depuis Infinite Crisis où elle trouva la mort, les fans ont voulu que de nouveau une Supergirl apparaisse dans l'univers DC. Plusieurs autres versions se sont succédé : Matrix, Linda Danvers et Cir-El.

Kara Zor-El (Pre-Crisis)

Kara Zor-El est apparue pour la première fois dans Action Comics #252 en mai 1959 sur un scénario d'Otto Binder. Mort Weisinger, rédacteur en chef des comics de Superman, avait profité de la page du courrier des lecteurs qu'il avait créé pour ses comics pour savoir quelles étaient les attentes des lecteurs. Plusieurs lectrices avaient demandé qu'une jeune femme, semblable à Superman, ait ses propres aventures. Wiesinger répond à ces attentes en confiant à Otto Binder, déjà responsable de la création de Mary Marvel, l'équivalent féminin de Captain Marvel, le plus important concurrent de Superman, pour Fawcett Comics, d'écrire les premières aventures de la cousine de Superman.

Un vaisseau spatial s'écrase sur la Terre. Superman intervient et est surpris de voir sortir une adolescente blonde habillée dans une version féminine de son costume. Elle lui explique que lors de l'explosion de Krypton, la ville d'Argos a survécu sur un large morceau de la planète qui est parti à la dérive dans l'espace. Mais les citoyens ne sont pas tirés d'affaire pour autant, le sol se transforme et la Kryptonite qui le compose devient mortelle. Zor-El construit un vaisseau spatial pour envoyer sa fille Kara sur la Terre où il a découvert qu'un kryptonien, Superman / Kal-El, y vivait. Alura, sa femme, construit un costume identique à celui de Superman. Zor-El est le frère de Jor-El, le père de Kal-El, Superman et Kara sont cousins.

Dans le comic book Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 (octobre 1985), elle trouve la mort en sauvant son cousin Superman de l'Anti-Monitor, et lors de la recréation de l'univers son existence est effacée de l'Histoire.

Matrix
Dans le comic book Superman v2 #16 (avril 1988), le Lex Luthor d'un univers de poche conçoit une forme de vie artificielle métamorphe nommée Matrix. Superman est à la poursuite de dangereux kryptoniens et arrive dans cet univers. Ce dernier est en perdition et au moment de repartir, Superman emmène Matrix avec lui.

La nouvelle Supergirl / Matrix possède des capacités comparables à celles de Superman. En plus, elle peut se rendre invisible et prendre différentes apparences. Elle utilise principalement l'apparence d'une Supergirl et l'identité de Mae.

Matrix a une relation romantique avec le Lex Luthor de la Terre-1, elle le quitte lorsqu'elle se rend compte qu'il est différent de son créateur. Elle a fait partie des Teen Titans.

Linda Danvers
En 1996, dans Supergirl vol. 4 #1, Supergirl / Matrix vient en aide à une jeune fille mourante Linda Danvers. Les deux fusionnent et forment une nouvelle Supergirl qui peut changer de forme entre Supergirl, grande et blonde et Linda Danvers, plus petite et brune.

Cir-El
La Supergirl dénommée Cir-El est apparue pour la première fois dans le comic book Superman: The 10 Cent Adventure #1. Lors de sa rencontre avec Superman, Cir-El s'est présentée comme sa fille en provenance du futur, déclarant également que Lois Lane était sa mère. Il s'avéra, en fait, qu'il s'agissait d'une humaine génétiquement modifiée avec de l'ADN kryptonien et manipulée par Brainiac. Elle se sacrifia dans Superman vol. 2 #200 pour arrêter celui-ci. Le personnage est ensuite apparu dans d'autres aventures impliquant des perturbations temporelles.

Kara Zor-El (Post-Crisis)

En 2004 quand DC Comics opéra un retour aux sources dans Superman/Batman #8, puisqu'il s'agit comme avant Crisis de la cousine de Superman, Kara Zor-El, arrivée sur Terre dans un vaisseau emprisonné dans une météorite de kryptonite. Elle fut sujet au début de dissensions entre Batman, qui se méfiait d'elle, et Superman, qui lui fait totalement confiance.

Dans la série Supergirl vol. 5 de 2005, l'adolescente découvre son nouvel environnement la Terre, ses pouvoirs et ce que cela signifie d'être un héros. Elle cherche à savoir ce qu'elle veut faire de sa vie. Elle s'est inventé l'identité de Linda Lang, la nièce de Lana Lang, l'amie de longue date de Clark Kent.

HOUSTON, TX. April 16, 2013 ― True the Vote (TTV), the leading national, voters' rights and election integrity organization, today submitted a letter to Texas House Elections Committee members that refutes recent false criticisms of proposals regarding early voting, roll maintenance and polling place security.
"It's a sad state of affairs when an activist with more than a dozen voter fraud convictions, Amy Busefink, represents organizations that violated Texas Election Codes against the proposals that could prevent similar illegal behavior in the future. If you've ever wondered why voter ID and other integrity measures became so popular across all demographics, look no further," Engelbrecht argued.
"Texans are greatly concerned about the process in which our elections are executed. We must ensure that this debate does not become convoluted with misleading information from questionable sources, including convicted felons from other states," said True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht.
True the Vote also responded to claims against HB2372, which would allow Texas to participate in interstate cross-referencing of voter rolls to correct duplicate registrations. "This bill takes an affirmative step to ensure that duplicate voter registrations are addressed across state lines. Recent Pew analysis found that an estimated 2.75 million Americans are registered [to vote] in more than one state," wrote Engelbrecht in the letter on behalf of True the Vote, which is based in Houston, TX. Federal law requires that election officials remove all dead, duplicate and ineligible voters from the rolls regularly. Currently, more than 20 states are working together to verify that the voter rolls are updated.
True the Vote responded to a letter submitted to Texas legislators from political interest groups such as ACORN spin-off Project Vote, NAACP, SEIU, AFL-CIO and others.

NEW YORK (AP) - A federal appeals court says former New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver can remain free while it decides the merits of his appeal of his public corruption conviction.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a one-page order extending bail Thursday, a day after a three-judge panel heard oral arguments.
Without the order, Silver would have been required to report to prison next week to begin serving his seven-year prison sentence.
The 75-year-old Democrat was sentenced last year after he was charged with collecting nearly $4 million in fees to help a cancer researcher and real estate developers.
Prosecutors said it was understood that Silver would take official actions politically to benefit the researcher and developers. Two judges, though, seemed skeptical of the evidence during oral arguments.

Venue: Bob Lucas Stadium, Weymouth, DT4 9XJ
Date: Monday 26th August, 3pm kick-off
Admission Prices: £14 Adults, £10 Concessions*, £3 Under-16s, Under-7s FREE**

SEGREGATION OF SUPPORTERS WILL BE IN PLACE FOR THIS FIXTURE.
Wealdstone supporters should enter the ground by the turnstiles at the southern end of the ground. These will be clearly marked.
As a result, away supporters will NOT have access to the club bards and there will be no alcohol available in the Wealdstone end of the ground.
We would suggest that supporters wishing to have a drink before the game either use:
The John Gregory, 113 Radipole Lane, Weymouth, DT4 9SS
Marquis of Granby, Chickerell Road, Weymouth, DT4 9TW
Both are within walking distance of the ground.
The ground is located about 2 miles from the town centre, Local buses operate a Sunday service on Bank Holiday Mondays which means that only Route 8 operates.
This means a considerable walk from Chickerell Road to the ground. It is therefore recommended that supporters therefore group together and catch a taxi. Local companies are Weyline, Bee Cars, Streetcars and Fleetline.
Please ask to be dropped off outside the Football Club main gate to avoid congestion in the car park as the turnstile are located close to this entrance.
Driving via the A35

Maintaining Community in Arts and Athletics
The global pandemic has forced Packer's performing arts and athletic programs to consider questions that have never been posed to them: How do you maintain social distancing on the basketball court or on the stage?
You pivot.
"It's certainly been a challenge," said Arts Department Head Ali Boag, "but the unique hybrid-learning structure of this year's classes means there's been less prepping for live performances. Freedom from constant rehearsals has allowed us to catch up with the pedagogy and to look more deeply at issues of music history and theory, theater history, and so on."
Director of Athletics Darrin Fallick has managed to turn his department's challenges into positives, too. Upper School student athletes still attend after-school practices in all sports except swimming. While they are unable to compete against other schools, they are taking the opportunity to focus on fundamental skill development. Students are, of course, encouraged to practice at home, but Darrin said he's more concerned with the social element. He wants to give students a place to connect with one another and disengage from Zoom and technology in general.
"It's important to give active structure to our students. We want everyone to be able to participate, so there are no cuts or tryouts this year. If a student signs up, they are assigned to a level, team, and time slot, no matter their experience in the sport."
Life imitates art imitates life: In "Scenes from a Quarantine," a Middle School student plays a cat who wonders why her owner never leaves the house anymore.
Remote learning has also allowed for exploration of new forms of creative collaboration. The Arts Department, for example, has taken the opportunity to showcase individual students, producing solo dances and monologues and sharing them online in video format. The theater program has maintained its productions, even as the performances have to be shared over Zoom. Ali cited the success of the Middle School fall play—"Scenes from a Quaratine" written by playwright Lindsay Price specifically for online audiences—saying that such a performance would not have reached nearly as many people in a regular school year.
All of this is not to minimize the significant challenges that the arts and athletics have faced at Packer this year.
"Visual artists are least affected by this year's circumstances, but lack of community is hard on all the arts," said Ali. "Still, Zoom does allow students to receive more personal attention, and their work is as good as it's ever been. Photographers, especially, have benefited this year because of the issues we're facing in society. Protests, the pandemic, and the presidential election have allowed student photographers to practice documenting a wide range of historic events."
Darrin acknowledged that one group has had it particularly hard in athletics. "It's been especially difficult for our seniors. But they have, for the most part, managed to stay positive throughout all of this. They're still practicing after school and working to improve, and several will be going on to play sports in college. That's really all we can ask of our students right now — to make the most of a difficult situation."

Nestled along the mighty Mississippi River, Prairie du Chien residents and businesses take pleasure in the community's strategic position in the panorama of Southwest Wisconsin. Access to various modes of transportation has proven to be one of the area's most important assets. Quality highway systems, railroad facilities, air transportation and water transport are key components to the high standard of life for residents, travelers and businesses alike.
Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, is the second-oldest city in the state and is the oldest city on the Upper Mississippi River. Prairie du Chien is ideally situated along two of the Midwest's most scenic highways. The Great River Road extends both north and south of the city, embracing 250 miles of the meandering Mississippi River. Views from this beautiful highway are considered to be among the best scenery in the nation. Highway 60, stretching from Prairie du Chien to Lodi, follows the historic Wisconsin River. Both routes are designated National Scenic Byways linking more than 30 quaint river towns and plenty of recreational sites. As an added bonus, both routes are major flyways for dozens of migratory water fowl, eagles and other species of birds.
The city is convenient to U.S. Highway 18 and State Highways 35, 27 and 60, with a link to Iowa across the Mississippi made available via the Marquette-Joliet Bridge. Interstate 90 is reachable within 60 miles at its junction in La Crosse. Prairie du Chien is serviced by several major truck carriers and the Coulee Cab Company, which provides taxicab service throughout the area, and the Southwest Mississippi Regional Transport or S.M.R.T Bus, serving three area counties.
The main line of the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railroad and the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad service the area on land, while waterway service is available through the port of Prairie du Chien on the Upper Mississippi River. The waterway links Wisconsin to the Gulf of Mexico. The port handles some 600,000 metric tons of cargo each year, including coal, salt, sand, cement, grain and fertilizer.
The city-operated airport, adjacent to the new Crossing Rivers Health Center, is composed of two runways; one spanning 5,000 feet by 75 feet, and the other 4,000 feet by 75 feet. Corporate jets utilize the airport, and the facility offers charter and jet fuel services. In total, the airport houses 20 aircraft and sees approximately 12,500 arrivals and departures annually.
A new $1 million terminal was contructed in 2017.
Commercial air service is available at nearby Dubuque Regional Airport, offering three daily flights to Chicago via American Eagle Airlines; La Crosse Municipal Airport, with 10 daily flights provided by Delta Airlines and American Airlines; and Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, with more than 100 daily commercial flights every day through six carriers.


Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker™ was a Tatooine farm boy who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known. Along with his friends Princess Leia and Han Solo, Luke battled the evil Empire, discovered the truth of his lineage, and ended the tyranny of the Sith.
These stunning engraved 1/4 oz gold coins feature an image of Luke Skywalker standing by his X-34 landspeeder on the planet of Tatooine, in Star Wars: A New Hope.
The Luke Skywalker 1/4 oz Gold Coin comes presented in a high-quality Star Wars branded and stylized inner coin case and themed outer coin packaging. The Certificate of Authenticity sits within the coin case and there is a worldwide limited mintage of only 1,000 coins.
As a simple moisture farmer on the desert planet Tatooine, Luke Skywalker often dreams of galactic adventure amongst the stars. When a distress call from Rebel leader Princess Leia Organa places Luke in the midst of the epic struggle between the Rebel Alliance and the evil Empire, Luke meets the old Jedi Knight Obi-Wan-Kenobi. Obi-Wan tells Luke of the mystical powers of the Force and instructs him in the ways of the Jedi. When Luke rescues the Princess, Obi-Wan falls at the hands of his old apprentice, Darth Vader, and Luke must continue his training under the tutelage of the wise Jedi Master Yoda. In an effort to turn Luke to the dark side, Darth Vader lures the young disciple away from his training and reveals that he is Luke's father, Anakin Skywalker. As the last of the Jedi and the only hope for the galaxy, Luke must face his darkest fears in a deadly confrontation with his father and his father's Master, the evil Emperor. While the final battle rages between the Rebels and the Empire, the young Jedi awakens the last remnant of good within his father, and in the end, Anakin Skywalker re-emerges to sacrifice his own life to save his son. Anakin's redemption and Luke's personal triumph are echoed in the victorious celebration of freedom and justice throughout the galaxy.
Luke Skywalker is the seventh character to feature in the Star Wars Classic coin collection.
Very nice gold coin with complete O.G.P. Wooden Box & C.O.A. This is another must have coin to complete your collection. I would highly recommend buying one today. Only 1000 minted. Very exiting waiting for the next release to come out every time. 5 STARS !!!!!


Thanks, Selena — this is really interesting.
Can you elaborate on this? I'm curious what notions you had and how they changed after talking to teachers.
I imagine that high schools are under pressure to teach to the AP CS exam, if they have the opportunity to teach CS at all, and that the exam would dictate the choice of languages, regardless of what's actually appropriate for beginners. Did any teachers you spoke with have comments about that?
The AP CS exam definitely dictates what language is taught for AP CS. I'm less convinced that the language matters all that much. The more important thing to consider is what the kids get to do with whatever language they learn.
The "learning to type" thing bugs me not just because it shows a vast misunderstanding of the point of a CS course, but also because it implies that a student in high school should still need a typing course. Seriously, middle school seems a bit late for that, and late elementary would be even better.
Sure. 🙂 My point about that is that we have a big problem with definitions and explaining what computer science is. This is our problem, and we need to take some time to figure out how to fix the world's impression of what it is that CS and programming mean.
Woah. Awesome research. Thank your for illuminating this information unto the readers of planet.mozilla.org.
Here, at (public) Stuyvesant High School in New York City, we teach a semester of Scheme and Netlogo (a superb language), and a semester of Python to all of our 800 sophomores (required courses). Then, for their junior year electives, students can take A.P. Comp Sci (a year of Java), and in their senior year, if they're interested in comp. sci.: a semester of computer systems theory and networking software, and a semester of computer graphics in C, or, instead, a year of software development. Of course, given the competition with other science and math electives, only 100 seniors end up taking the senior comp. sci courses.
We have 7 full-time comp. sci. teachers, all of whom, I can say without hesitation, love what they do.
> We have 7 full-time comp. sci. teachers, all of whom, I can say without hesitation, love what they do.
I love it! Do you have any links to share to the high school, the lessons or anything about the teachers?
This is great, but when readers ask themselves why more schools aren't like this, it would be helpful to know what kind of school Stuyvesant is. Stuyvesant is a public high school, but it is one of NYC's Specialized High Schools.
Students who want to attend Stuyvesant must take the Specialized High Schools Admission test. This is a strict placement test; the only way into Stuyvesant is to take the test, and score higher than just about anyone else in NYC. Among the specialized high schools, Stuyvesant has the highest cutoff score on the admissions test.
Most schools should do a better job of teaching computer science. Please be aware of Stuyvesant's model when comparing it to other high schools.
I teach at Bellaire High School in Houston, TX where we have two courses: a ore-ap course and the AP course. I would love to be a part of a conversation about cs education. I just started fiddling with Arduino stuff and I think I'll use the stuff in ap comp sci and ap physics. Perhaps encouraging the maker mentality can spur some cross-curricular work.
For anyone interested in K-12 computing education, I highly recommend getting connected with a local Computer Science Teachers Association chapter! Contacts for different regional chapters can be found on the CSTA website.
Since you're in Oregon, I imagine you've probably connected with TechStart, but just in case, they have a very well-regarded professional development series that brings together lots of fantastic computing instructors.

Church plans youth bass tournaments
OROVILLE - The Bible Faith Family Church in Oroville has organized a bass tournament open to young people ages eight...
by Gary DeVon • June 19, 2008 2:08 pm
OROVILLE – The Bible Faith Family Church in Oroville has organized a bass tournament open to young people ages eight to 16.
The youths will be further divided into two age groups – Ages eight to 12 and Ages 13 to 16. The kids will then form up into teams of two young people and a boat captain (non-fishing), said Pastor Claude Roberts, the tournament director.
There will be three tournament dates and lakes. The first will be at Whitestone Lake on June 21 with a registration time at 4 p.m. Fishing starts at 5 p.m. with the weight-in at 8:30 p.m. The second tournament date is July 19 at Palmer Lake. Registration is at 6 a.m. with fishing to start at 7 a.m. and weigh-in at 11 a.m. The third and final tournament date is Aug. 16 at Upper Conconully. Registration is at 6 a.m., fishing starts at 7 a.m. and weigh-in is at 11 a.m.
Trophies will be awarded for first, second and third place in each division. Following the Conconully Tourney the church will also be awarding a trophy to one of the young anglers from each of the divisions for the biggest fish caught.
"As a pastor who has enjoyed the sport of fishing bass tournaments for a number of years, the Lord has laid it on our heart to offer this sport to the young people in the area," said Rev. Roberts.
"I have heard many moms and das say my kid would love to do that. And I have watched some young people at the weigh-ins and could see the desire in their eyes. Well with Christians who love to fish and are willing to give some kids of their time, I think we can make a good difference in the lives of some of our youth," he adds.
Teams must provide a captain and boat, fishing tackle and life vest. Boats must have a live-well, homemade or factory. There is no registration fee, but donations are welcome for draw prizes.
Katie Dewitte and Jessica Walls will serve as the weigh masters.
More information is available by calling Rev. Roberts at (509) 476-4992 or Assistant Tournament Director Jim Barker at (509) 476-2632 or (509) 560-0901.

Liu Xia, Widow of Chinese Dissident, Arrives in Germany
Liu Xia, wife of jailed Nobel Peace Prize winner and Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, holds a portrait of him during his funeral in Shenyang in northeastern China's Liaoning Province, July 15, 2017. The photo shows, from left to right, Liu Hui, younger
Liu Xia, widow of Chinese dissident and Nobel Peace laureate Liu Xiaobo, arrived in Germany on Tuesday after finally being able to leave China, having spent the past eight years under strict house arrest.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman told reporters Tuesday Liu Xia left Beijing to seek medical treatment. Her brother, Liu Hui, posted on social media that his sister had left China "to start her new life" in Europe.
A U.S. State Department official said, "The United States welcomes the news that Chinese authorities have released Liu Xia ... from house arrest and allowed her to leave China as she long wished. We continue to call on the Chinese government to release all prisoners of conscience, and to respect the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all individuals."
Republican Senator Marco Rubio, chairman of a congressional commission on China, told VOA Mandarin, "Obviously she should have never been detained. We are happy for her release."
Liu Xia was put under house arrest in 2010 when her husband -- prominent writer, literary critic, and intellectual Liu Xiaobo -- won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Liu was arrested in 2009 and sentenced to 11 years in prison on charges of subversion for helping write Charter 08, a political manifesto calling for an end to China's one-party system.
He died a year ago of liver cancer at 61, making him the first Nobel laureate to die in state custody since renown pacifist Carl von Ossietzky died of tuberculosis in 1938 in Berlin under the Nazi regime.
Liu Xia's release also coincides with this week's visit to Germany by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang. Western diplomats had raised concerns about the effects of her strict confinement on her psychological health.
Chinese authorities had assigned round-the-clock surveillance on her Beijing home, and restricted her movements and contacts with the outside world, despite the government's insistence that she was free.
中国政治异议人士、诺贝尔和平奖得ä¸
Liu Xia, the widow of Chinese Nobel dissident Liu Xiaobo, smiles as she arrives at the Helsinki International Airport in Vantaa, Finland, July 10, 2018.
"It is a tremendous relief that Liu Xia has been able to leave China for freedom abroad," the China director at Human Rights Watch Sophie Richardson says. "Ever since her late husband received the Nobel Peace Prize while in a Chinese prison, Liu Xia was also unjustly detained. The German government deserves credit for its sustained pressure and hard work to gain Liu Xia's release."
The president of the pro free speech Independent Chinese PEN Center, Liao Tianqi, said German officials will try to protect Liu from public attention to allow her to regain her health.
"What she is going to do in the future is up to her to decide. I think people should understand she is not a political figure, not an activist. She was pushed to this position and had to face the public. Judging from her own personality, I think she absolutely doesn't want to play such a role."
VOA Mandarin Service congressional correspondent Yihua Lee and Miao Yu contributed to this report.
Widow of Chinese Dissident Liu Xiaobo Arrives in Germany
Liu Xia, the widow of Chinese Nobel Peace Prize-winning political dissident Liu Xiaobo, arrived in Berlin on Tuesday, in news welcomed by rights groups who had long pressed for China to let her leave what was effectively house arrest.Liu Xia, 57, landed at in Berlin's Tegel airport at around 1700 local time. She left the airport by a private exit to circumvent crowds of waiting reporters and activists. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas announced her arrival on Twitter.
UN Experts Seek Urgent Release of Widow of Chinese Dissident Liu Xiaobo
U.N. human rights experts urged China on Wednesday to release Liu Xia, the widow of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, and allow her to seek treatment for deteriorating health, including traveling abroad.The appeal came nearly a year after Liu Xiaobo died of liver cancer on July 13, 2017 while in custody, having been jailed in 2009 for "inciting subversion of state power."Liu Xia, an artist and poet who suffers from depression, has been under effective house arrest…

Birkenhead Brewing Rawene Coconut & Vanilla Oatmeal Stout (6%) - Deep brown with a tight crema-like head, Rawene oozes smoothness and complexity. Initial chocolate malt aroma gives way to a delicate blend of esters, with notes of vanilla pod and subtle coconut sweetness.

Liberal use of both flaked oats and barley provide a velvety mid-palate underling a cacao-like blend of chocolate and roast malts, laced with subtle, warming alcohol. The finish is a lingering blend of Coconut, Vanilla, and Chocolate. Available now.

Di Maria: Ronaldo convinced me to join Manchester United
Macnhester United attacking midfielder Angel di Maria has revealed that Real Madrid star Crisitano Ronalo was the reason behind his move to Manchester United.
Posted by:Junaid Effendi Posted date: Friday, October 10, 2014 /comment : 0
Manchester United attacking midfielder Angel di Maria has revealed that Real Madrid star Crisitano Ronalo was the reason behind his move to Manchester United.
The Argentinean attacker told that Ronaldo helped him and told that Manchester United is a massive club and it would be great to see Di Maria playing for United.
Ronaldo who himself is considered as legend for the Red Devils played six season at Old Trafford before leaving for Real Madrid in 2009. The 29-year-old scored 118 goals in 292 appearances for the Red Devils during his stay.
Currently, Di Maria is wearing the number seven jersey which is fond of great names including his former team mate Ronaldo.
Di Maria told: "Before we knew I was coming to Manchester, Ronaldo told me it's a massive club, I would be very happy here and it would be good for me."
He further added: "At that time we didn't know for sure that I was coming or not, so we didn't go into great detail, but what he did say helped me greatly to make my decision."
Di Maria made 191 appearances in four seasons of stay at Santiago Bernabeu. The 26-year-old was also the key player for Madrid last season in the Champions League victory. He won the man of the match award for the final match performance.
Di Maria also won a La Liga, Super Cup and Copa del Rey twice along with a UCL trophy at Madrid.

Confused, what do you think?
I am a little confused this month, i started charting with FF and Glow and im not sure which one is actually accurate. One is saying im 11 dpo and the other is saying im something else. I think FF is correct. This is our 16 month TTC (trying to conceive) and were just ready to have a baby already. I have been praying this is our month, as my charts and temps are way higher then they typically are. What are your ladies thoughts?
hope this is your cycle! when will you poas?
So now i am even more confused! Maybe GLOW was right and not FF? or maybe i am out, no sign of AF (Aunt Flo - menstruation/period) just the dip... or could it be like an implantation dip if i follow the glow chart?
So now i am even more confused! Maybe GLOW was right and not FF? or maybe i am out, no sign of AF just the dip... or could it be like an implantation dip if i follow the glow chart?
well, I'm about to make it only more confusing, so I apologize in advance!
if FF is correct on your O (ovulation) date, then the dip is probably indicative that you will start your period either today or tomorrow (sorry to say!). if the other app is correct, then it's possible it was implantation dip. keep in mind though that you can get a dip without it being implantation, so I wouldn't get your hopes up just in case it's normal fluctuation.
based on your original post, it seemed as though this is your first cycle charting, but then in the comment you said you have never had 2 charts so different... do you have previous bbt charts for comparison? and did you look at FF in FAM to see if it aligns more with your other app?
What are your baby's gender?

With few exceptions, when the Alternative Minimum Tax is paid it is money out the door – gone forever. No surprise here since this is the way taxes work. What is a surprise to many folks, however, is that a portion of the AMT paid in one year may instead simply be a prepayment of taxes referred to as a "credit" – that may be available as a refund in a future year. Understanding which AMT items generate this future credit and which dont can result in additional tax savings.
There are many different kinds of deductions allowed in computing taxable income. For the AMT, a distinction is made between those that are "exclusion" items and those that are not. Exclusion items are those that are either deductible or not in the year paid they have no impact on future years. Common examples of these are the various itemized deductions that are allowed for the Regular Tax but not for the Alternative Minimum Tax.
A distinction is made between exclusion items, and those AMT items that affect only the timing of when a deduction is taken. The most common example of this is Depreciation. A deduction for depreciation of business or certain investment assets is allowed both for the Regular Tax as well as the Alternative Minimum Tax, but if a taxpayer chooses an accelerated form of depreciation for Regular Tax purposes he is getting a disproportionately larger deduction in the early years of the assets life. The AMT says "no" to this the acceleration needs to be slowed down a little.
IRS Form 8801 is the tax form used to calculate the amount of credit that may be taken in the current year for prior years AMT paid. This form pulls data from the prior years Form 6251, and uses it to compute how much of the AMT paid in the prior year is attributable to exclusion items. The difference, if any, between the total AMT paid in the prior year and this recomputed amount is the amount of AMT available as a credit in the current year.
The AMT credit carryover may be taken as a reduction of the current years Regular Tax. Thus, if the taxpayer is in the AMT again, the credit cant yet be used, but it will accumulate and be carried to a future year when the Regular Tax is paid. Under a special rule, however, if after three years the credit carryover hasnt been used, 50% of it may be used against the taxpayers then-current year AMT.
During the 2008 Presidential campaign, as is common practice the candidates for office released copies of their tax returns. The tax return filed by Sarah Palin and her husband for 2006 included a Form 8801, which was used to test whether there was an AMT credit carryover from prior years. While the prior years returns were not released, it was interesting to note that Todd Palin was self-employed in several businesses that utilized vehicles and equipment that were depreciable for tax purposes. Because these assets were depreciated using the most accelerated method possible, the AMT had been paid by them in prior years.
Alternative Minimum Tax payers are doing a real disservice to themselves if they fail to test for the AMT credit carryover each year. Depending on the types of AMT items a taxpayer has, and their relative sizes, taxpayers may find a pleasant surprise in the form of a refund of prior year AMT paid!

What is it with Married Men?
By Cosmo Team
Why do married men have affairs? Is it always for selfish reasons? And why do women like me settle for it? I've been having an affair with a guy at work. He's everything I want in a man, except he's married. He says: "I love you to bits, but circumstances mean I cannot be with you." I've considered telling his wife exactly who the man she's married to is.
Selfish is all he, or any married man, can ever be with the `other woman'. Sure, he "loves you to bits" - at least he loves the bits on offer. After all, you are his bit on the side. He's told you in so many words he can't be with you. He assumes you understand and, like him, are in this strictly for fun. Some women settle for this. However, most mistresses, when they realise they need more, look for partners who are free to give the love they need. That's what I hope you will do. But you say you're considering telling his wife - why? To make his life hell and hers too? For what? A few moments of satisfaction, followed by painful regret and probably a new job for you: he would undoubtedly hate the sight of you and the workplace could be untenable once the gossip begins. By the way, precisely what would you tell his wife about the man who, you say, is "everything you want"? Everything you want to take from her . Talk about selfish!

02/2020 Women and Religious Knowledge: Producers or Consumers?
Current: 02/2020 Women and Religious Knowledge: Producers or Consumers?
Feminist studies have recently shifted the focus from women rights and their position in society to the role of women in producing religious knowledge. Thus, women active participation in research conferences and symposia has become a must and missing women in such events is now increasingly frowned upon. Since about three decades, women started to produce a distinctively feminist religious knowledge.
Against this background, speakers in this lecture will address questions like: What is the role of women in producing religious knowledge? Which factors affect women's (non-)contribution to this type of knowledge? How can one understand the accidental or intentional absence of women's contribution, for those who believe that this was the case in Islamic history? Can knowledge be gendered? How to evaluate the religious knowledge produced by women?

Dark Artist, a 3-year-old Paynter filly, earned her first stakes win in Saturday's $75,000 Boiling Springs S. at Monmouth Park, defeating favored Reversethedecision by three-quarters of a length under a heady ride by Trevor McCarthy.
The bay filly, who was bred by Winchell Thoroughbreds and WinStar Farm, is the seventh stakes horse this year for Paynter, who progeny have now topped $1 million this year. Winner of the Haskell S. (G1) at Monmouth, Paynter is in the top five on the 2018 Second-Crop Sire list by winners, earnings and black type horses.
Dark Artist got a clean trip under McCarthy. Fifth for the first five furlongs, he began to advance on the turn, made the lead over Bramble Queen in mid-stretch, then held Reversethedecision at bay in the final sixteenth to stop the timer in 1:41.81 for the 1 1/16-miles on a firm turf course.
Dark Artist is now 3-0-1 in seven starts and has banked $105,136 for her owner Goodwood Racing VIII. She is out of Ominous Cat, whose dam Fleet Renee won both the Mother Goose S. (G1) and Ashland S. (G1).


After observing and reading the different sentiments expressed about the Land Deputy Minister Bernadus Swartbooi, I cannot help but add mu voice to the debate.
Like many of the voices I wonder what the debate is all about.
I failed to understand why the Deputy Minister need to apologize, when he spoke about the resettlement programme which we all know is a total disaster. He told the truth.
Resettlement in particular refers to the word "re" which means that the process is used as a corrective measure. Resettlement must and should not be confused with the Article 21(I) (h) which guarantees everyone the freedom to: reside and settle in any part of Namibia. The distinction here is between settling and being resettled. Same applied to words such as "re-examination". Do you examine where there was no examination in the first place? Resettlement is completely a different concept from "residing" which the Constitution Article is referring to. Simply put, you can reside anywhere in Namibia where you want, but that does not mean that you have the right to take over other people's land that they lost through a well documented colonial dispossession.
Instead of referring to this Constitutional Article, there must be a distinction between the two concepts.
The Constituent Assembly at the drafting of the constitution, the two major parties namely SWAPO and the DTA had the majority in that house. Both parties are historically disinterested in the Ancestral land question because from their inception neither party emerged from the ashes of Genocide and Dispossession. Neither party were formed with the 'right of return' in their ideological formations.
The DTA was created as a counterweight to the revolution demands of the victims of genocide of ancestral land and property which the legacy of Imperial Germany and subsequent Apartheid Afrikaner Settlers still maintain through the policies of the DTA and SWAPO, and this is the historical context of Constitution Article No. Ironically those continually referring to this Act are those who never lost land through the systematic policy of land dispossession. This is why the communities who lost land such as the Damaras, Nama, Ovaherero, San Community, and Basters have a different interpretation of the Act.
We know that those condemning what the Deputy Minister Swartbooi said, are those who benefitted and continue to benefit from the corrupt land distribution from the SWAPO government since independence.
Let us make it categorically clear that what the government is doing is land distribution, which is completely different from resettlement.
The land issue with regard to the above afore-mentioned affected communities, did not just affect the livelihood of the people, but also linked to the loss of their cultural and spiritual well-being.
The dispossession of land during colonial times did not render Damara, Nama, Ovaherero, the San community and the Basters but it also uprooted them from their heritage. The SWAPO government so-called resettlement programme, as it was rightly articulated by the Land Deputy Minister, further entrenched and deepened their marginalization from their ancestral land.
Instead of resettling those who lost land, the Government is abusing its system of resettlement to bring people from other regions to the land that was taken away from its rightful owners.
Land is a human right issue and this is why the South African Government at their Independence passed the Restitution Land Right Act No 22 of 1994. We have a lot to learn from such an Act.
The platform at which the Deputy Minister used to raise the land question is according to the President not the "right platform". The land issue as well as the Ovaherero and Nama genocide of 1904-1908 have been raised several platforms being the current topical issues in Namibia. Can the President seriously suggest that the platform was wrong? OR is it another way of silencing descending voices? The President must let the public know which is the right platform to raise such important issues.
The President must also stop using a language that has the potential to incite violence such that if anyone is telling the truth in this country has "the potential of disturbing the peace and stability". The only people who are keeping the so-called "peace and stability" are those who lost their land and are still losing their dignity by government marginalization.
From the support that the Deputy Minister received through social media and the Chiefs from the affected communities, the president must apologize to Deputy Minister Swartbooi unreservedly not the other way around.

LANSING, MI - A package of bills that would allow Michiganders to carry concealed weapons without a permit passed the House of Representatives in June, but Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof, R-West Olive, says the timing isn't right to run it in the Senate.
The bills House Bill 4416-4419, strike the requirement that Michiganders have a license to carry a concealed weapon. People banned from possessing firearms would be banned from carrying them as well. The bills also reduce penalties for certain infractions relating to carrying a pistol without proper identification or disclosure as well.
The main bill in the package, House Bill 4416, passed the House 59-49. From there they were referred to the Senate Government Operations committee, which Meekhof controls.
Meekhof, who often carries a concealed gun himself, said he hasn't spoken with the governor about the bills, but "I'm sensing his reluctance to do anything with firearms."
He sees the bill perhaps advancing at a later date as part of another deal.
"The timing isn't right yet, maybe is the right way to say it," Meekhof said.
Anna Heaton, a spokeperson for Snyder, said the governor did not yet have an opinion on the bill but would review the final version if or when it reached his desk.
MCRGO money and influence at work.
Maybe the residents of Ottawa County need to call and ask him who he works for, Them or the Governor?
He does not work for the residents of Ottawa County - he works to empower himself. The reason he wins (term limited thank God) is he is good at raising money!
The timing wasn't right to jack up our taxes and bloat the budget but he did it anyway.
If the permitless concealed carry law was passed, what would happen to the right of licensed concealed pistol holders to carry open in areas that are out-of-bounds to non-licensees?
In other words, to carry open in these places, wouldn't we still need a CPL for that?
I think that this thread is more of a news item. How the "legislature" is working hard for us.
Can you explain, please? I honestly don't know.
No clause in the constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretence by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both.

100-Character Breakdown: Stacked with an atypical protagonist, an engrossing plot, and beautifully intricate world building.
In Marie Lu's vivid The Young Elites, she creates an engrossing, high-stakes plot on the backdrop of wonderfully crafted world building. Sixteen-year-old Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever that ripped through Kenettra in her youth. Some survivors were left marked by the illness — a colored mark on skin, a change in hair color. Although these malfettos are persecuted by society, some of them, known as the Young Elites, develop strange powers. Adelina discovers her powers when she attempts to escape her abusive father's home. She accidentally kills him, leading to her own execution. Thanks to her abilities — she can create vivid illusions — and the help of some Young Elites in the Dagger Society, she escapes death. This is just the beginning of her journey, however, as the Dagger Society teaches her to use her powers and she is caught in the political conflict threatening to tear their nation apart.
Adelina is not the traditional young adult protagonist. In part because of her powers, she finds herself in darkness, feeding on fear. Torn between those trying to use her for her powers, she reacts and develops in unpredictable yet fitting ways. Some of the other characters fit archetypes and have more predictable progression, but Adelina acts as an anchor that prevents those less original aspects from undermining the book's impact. The darkness behind Adelina makes this novel all the more affecting and substantial. The plot is intriguing and full of depth in its mix of action, politics, and emotion. This all comes together in the beautiful portrait Lu creates of Kenettra — especially the city of Estenzia, where much of the novel takes place. Lu's intricate and detailed writing builds a world as vivid as Adelina's illusions must be as she begins to understand her powers. With a picturesque world torn by chaos and an excitingly troubled protagonist, The Young Elites is an engaging start to this series.

New Delhi'Oct 31'2022-The Supreme Court on Monday said it is unfortunate that the practice of the "two-finger test" to examine rape survivors is still prevalent in society, and asked the Centre and the states to ensure it is not conducted.
A bench of justices DY Chandrachud and Hima Kohli overturned a decision of the Jharkhand High Court acquitting a rape and murder convict, and upheld a decision of a trial court holding him guilty.
The bench said a decade-old decision of the top court had held the invasive "two-finger test" as a violation of a woman's dignity and privacy.
"It is unfortunate that the practice is still prevalent even today The procedure which tests vaginal laxity is an upfront on women's dignity. It cannot be said that a sexually active woman cannot be raped," the bench said.
It issued a slew of directions to the Centre and state government authorities and asked the DGPs and health secretaries of the states to ensure that the "two-finger test" is not conducted.
The top court said that any individual conducting the two-finger test will be held guilty of misconduct.
It directed the Centre and the health secretaries of the state to take steps to remove the study materials on two-finger tests from the curriculum of government and private medical colleges.
