A Call for a New Approach to the Crisis of Political Polarization
bykeivahummel
"Encourage a bipartisan group of U.S. senators and representatives to form a Congressional Debate Commission."
This is an excerpt from the original post, which can be found in full on The Unum Pundit at https://theunumpundit.wordpress.com/2018/02/18/a-call-for-a-new-approach-to-the-crisis-of-political-polarization/.
America today is a nation beset by deep political divisions. These divisions have been worsening for many years, but starting in 2016 they began to take a more ominous turn. That year witnessed one of the most rancorous presidential elections in our history. Since then, we have all become daily witnesses to a relentless battle royale between the victor of that election and both the opposition party and much of the nation's media over countless issues, controversies, and – to an unprecedented degree – even basic facts. Last summer we saw the attempted massacre of a group of U.S. senators and representatives from one party by a politically motivated gunman, and a frightening white supremacist rally which sparked public discord and deadly violence. We've seen two government shutdowns in just the past few weeks, and major issues like school violence and our broken immigration system continue to go unresolved.
We should stop debating who is to blame, or whether we are more or less divided than Americans of past eras. We must find ways to reduce our current level of political polarization so we can constructively address the pressing challenges we face in an increasingly complex, rapidly changing, and dangerous world. Yet the most commonly proposed solutions fall woefully short. Structural reform to our political system is too difficult. Changing the way Congress operates would be too indirect or counterproductive. Centrism is too paltry. Civility initiatives are too small-scale, simply preach to the choir, and usually self-select the less polarized. The repair of social media is too uncertain. The reform of our partisan/ideological media would infringe on the First Amendment.
So what else can be done?
My answer: We should build new institutions on a nationwide scale to counteract the underlying forces of polarization. The forces pulling us apart are powerful, and we won't defeat them unless we develop strong opposing forces. We can't afford to wait for reforms that may come too late or not at all, nor can we rely on the weak vessels of centrism and civility. Starting on Presidents' Day and continuing over the next several weeks and months, I will be sharing my thoughts about what some of these new institutions might look like.
My first proposal is to encourage a bipartisan group of U.S. senators and representatives to form a Congressional Debate Commission for the purpose of conducting regular, respectful, issue-oriented debates between Democratic and Republican members of Congress before a primetime nationwide audience, similar to the quadrennial presidential debates hosted by the Commission on Presidential Debates. If done well these debates would attract a large, politically diverse audience, and would provide partisans and ideologues with sustained exposure to the best arguments, true motivations, and common humanity of those on the other side. Viewers would see for themselves that the other side is not as ignorant, insane, malicious, or stupid as they may have thought, but instead is actually knowledgeable about the issue, has full control of their faculties, does not have horns, and makes some valid points that need to be wrestled with.
Most importantly, the debates would send a powerful message to all Americans, especially our youngest, most impressionable citizens and future leaders, that we value listening to, understanding, and engaging with those who hold different views. They would remind us that we are one nation, not two, and that we have to work out our differences together in order to prosper.
President Washington sacrificed more for the American cause than any of our Founding Fathers, and as he left public life he challenged the citizens of a young republic to cherish an immovable attachment to national union. President Lincoln pleaded with a divided country not to allow passion to break its bonds of affection, and fought to preserve the Union until his last breath. Their words and their example speak to us today as well. By developing new ways to counter the growing divisions in our own time, we can ensure that the best days of the nation they built and preserved lie ahead.

DUBAI's BEST THEME PARKS
5152 views3
Global-Village
CHOOSE FROM OUR TOP 5 FAMILY FUN THEME PARKS IN THE UAE
The world's biggest indoor theme park is based in Dubai, while the neighbouring emirate of Abu Dhabi is home to the planet's fastest roller coaster at Ferrari World. This means any trip to the United Arab Emirates is not complete without a visit to one of its top theme parks.
1. Dubai Parks & Resorts
You get four in one at this family-friendly entertainment complex. It all begins at Riverland Dubai, where the different parks converge. While this is where you buy your tickets, there are plenty of experiences here to get you in the mood for the day – and entry is free. Take a hike down the American-inspired Boardwalk, or visit India Gate, where musicians and acrobats perform. There's also a medieval-style French town and The Peninsula, a piazza boasting 19th-century-style architecture that bridges the various districts. If you have kids in tow, we suggest checking out Legoland Dubai and Legoland Waterpark, which boast between them more than 40 Lego-themed rides, 20 water slides, a host of shows and other attractions. It's all specifically designed for families with children aged two to 12. For the older set, visit Motiongate Dubai, where movie-themed rides, coasters and theatre shows are inspired by Hollywood's largest studios: DreamWorks Animation, Columbia Pictures and Lionsgate. See some of your favourite films – from The Hunger Games to Zombieland and Kung Fu Panda – come to life. Alternatively, for a true taste of Asia, head straight to Bollywood Parks, the first theme park of its kind. Here, five colourful, creative zones inspired by India's world- renowned film industry offer a host of experiences, from street food stalls and a Broadway-style Bollywood musical to adventures in the "Rustic Ravine".
2. Aquaventure Waterpark
You'll find this tourist attraction at the world-famous Atlantis The Palm resort. There's a lot to do and see here, including Aquaconda, which is touted as the world's largest and the first dual slide-within-a-slide (as its enclosed tube weaves in and out of the flume-style ride).
Aside from the rides, you can also book yourself in for a host of marine-life experiences. This includes scuba-diving with dolphins, swimming with sharks and visiting Dubai's largest aquarium, where more than 60,000 animals reside. A selection of educational programmes are also offered, including junior lifeguard training and marine mammal conservation talks.
3. IMG Worlds Of Adventure
The world's largest indoor theme park features four distinct sections. You start at the IMG Boulevard, the centre of everything and the link to all the other zones. It's where you'll find a bunch of attractions, such as the spooky Haunted Hotel, as well as a host of dining and retail options. Then branch off to the Cartoon Network area, which younger children will love. It's where their favourite shows come alive, including The
Amazing World of Gumball, The Powerful Girls and Ben 10.
Big kids should head to the Marvel zone, where the rides are based on the world's most popular superheroes, from Spider-Man to The Hulk and The Avengers. Then make your way to the Lost Valley – Dinosaur Adventure, a faux foliage-strewn section based on the prehistoric lost world of dinosaurs. This is where you'll find the park's fastest roller coaster: The Velociraptor (it's not for the faint-hearted).
4. Global Village
This seasonal theme park springs to life between the months of October and April. It's the epitome of kitsch – but in a really, good way. Last season, Global Village was split into 27 pavilions, representing countless countries from around the world, across five continents (Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America). There was a floating market, a circus, a carnival, Ferris wheel and shows, as well as more than 100 food stalls and retail kiosks, plus restaurants. It's more of a funfair than anything else – there's nothing high-tech to it, but there's plenty of good old-fashioned family fun to be had for the entry price of Dh15 (EUR3.6). Every season offers something a bit different, too.
5. Wild Wadi Waterpark
Not only does this stalwart waterpark have lovely views of one of the emirate's most famous attractions – the Burj Al Arab – it also has a unique theme: it's based on the story of Juha, a character drawn from Arabian folklore. Throughout the park, there are 30 rides and attractions that are suitable for the whole family. Perhaps its most famous is the Jumeirah Sceirah, also known as one of the tallest and fastest free-fall waterslides in the world. It's a whopping 120 metres tall and sliders can reach speeds of up to almost 50 miles per hour.

Q: Make Aptana studio 3 use existing Rails project not import Im giving Aptana Studio 3 a try. Well hoping to.
I would like to open an existing Rails project but it asks me to import it. I dont want to make a copy I just want to use the same source files.
Is that possible?

A: Go to Project Explorer (tab in right side of aptana window - if you got default layout) -> find directory with your project -> right click on it -> "Promote to project"

A: Frankly Aptana 3 is not organized to have the source files in the same directory.  Basically it forces you to have the source files in two separate directories (source editing, deployed) and regardless of what you want it does particularly care.
Now if I'm wrong on this and someone can do a simple step by step on how to do this then I'm all ears.  Personally I just want to have the source in my local web folder and then just edit it.  I do not have any interest in deploying it to another server.  Nor in using github or any other service.  I just want to edit the stupid files locally and then test the site locally.  And I am unwilling to waste any more time on this ide trying to get it to work.

I AM NOT SURE THE USA IS GOING TO SURVIVE THE OBAMA ERA
There is not a single doubt in my mind that our nation has been attacked by radical communist sleeper cells of Obama acolytes and that Obama's promise to radically transform the United States is coming true.
Witness the insanity for yourself.
(1) Leadership
A severely cognitively-impaired President who cannot speak in complete, coherent sentences and answer impromptu questions that are not pre-scripted and posed by pre-selected propagandists posing as "journalists."
A Vice President, likewise, appears ignorant on most issues, and like the President, cannot speak in an informed and coherent manner.
A Speaker of the House who is virulently partisan and willing to ignore the United States Constitution and violate all Congress traditions and norms.
A years-long decapitation strike against the only effective leader in modern history who has been subject to persecution that would have killed or destroyed a lesser man.
A feckless opposition that is not only incompetent but corrupt and uncaring – with little or no regard for their constituents.
A cadre of union leadership in both the public and private sectors is corrupt and infiltrated by radical communists using workers as political pawns. Or, in the case of teachers, the younger generation.
We are seeing rampant interference in our electoral system, with our leaders minimizing the grave danger this poses to our nation, its Constitution, and our freedoms. In reality, we no longer select our leaders; we only choose from pre-selected, party-approved candidates. When we break that candidate selection practice, the forces on both sides of the political spectrum, the allegedly free press, and our enemies, both foreign and domestic, wage war against that candidate.
(2) National Security
Our nation is pursuing policies that will lead to a nuclear-armed Iran that will pose an even more significant existential threat to the Middle East and, by extension America.
We are being openly invaded by illegal aliens, including criminals, crazies, and terrorists, who rapidly destroy our nation's reserve assets meant to protect American citizens from natural disasters and other catastrophes.
A military whose operational readiness is being eroded by politicians posing as flag-rank general officers more interested in their own welfare than our nation or their soldiers.
In the space of three years, our leadership has destroyed this nation's energy independence and placed our military infrastructure at risk by the foreign sourcing of critical weapon components.
Beyond energy, we have ceded control of our nation's critical infrastructure, including water, fertilizer, and our food supply, to radical communists who have infiltrated the environmental movement and who are using our own laws, rules, and regulations – in conjunction with a compromised judiciary – against us—demanding that our nation forego resilience in favor of saving meaningless flora and fauna.
Arterial intermodal transportation, the lifeblood of a vast nation, is rapidly being compromised and creating a logistics nightmare.
We are rapidly depleting our weapons stockpiles in favor of other nations and failing to replenish our stockpiles of weapons and critical supplies. Much of what we adopt to replenish our reserves is overly complex and subject to catastrophic failure in peacetime training and war. Our enemies use less technology and gain reliability with old-school solutions. Much of this planned obsolescence is driven by corruption and those who have lost sight of the purpose of weapons. We now expend millions of dollars to kill fewer and fewer people-- with a military goal of ignoring the suppression of resistance and capitulation of our enemies to concentrate on the avoidance of bad media optics involving collateral damage.
(3) Communications
Our nation cannot function without conveying accurate and timely information to warn and inform the populace. Yet we have allowed our government to sidestep our Constitution in the guise of a public-private alliance where private companies overtly or covertly implement government policies in return for material rewards.
We have ceded control over our technology to oligarchs who claim the right to control devices we have purchased through unilateral licenses, which enable a surveillance state.
We, as a people, have said nothing when private entities openly spread disinformation, censor the news, and remove dissidents who have alternative viewpoints that do not support the regime's narrative. Even worse, "We the People" refuse to hold these individuals and corporations responsible for their treacherous actions.
In what universe would we accept the precepts of identity politics that demand teaching racist behavior and gender confusion in public schools?
We can see the abuse of language and the re-definition of common words -- so much so that people can no longer communicate or are afraid to speak lest they not be politically correct. I never thought I would see the day when someone could not define a woman, even in the most rudimentary terms as being the opposite of a man. Even worse, changing the titles on legislative bills in a deceptive manner as to mislead voters.
(4) Financial machinations.
Our nation's finances are being artificially manipulated by the Federal Reserve, which despite the misleading use of the word "federal," is privately owned and operated in an opaque manner by its owners – the most significant global financial institutions. Not to get into the weeds, but its fractional banking system using fiat currency is guaranteed to produce boom and bust cycles whose volatility conveys a great advantage to those who own or control significant assets.
Our money, especially the retirement funds representing fixed income assets for senior citizens out of the job market, are deliberately eroded by inflation. Apparently, to increase individual reliance on government largess in return for political power.
A confluence of evil…
Let us consider today's example of evil.
President Joe Biden unilaterally and unconstitutionally decided to forgive a portion of student debt to fulfill a political campaign pledge. Perhaps forgive is not the right word because he transferred the payment of these debts from the individuals responsible for the debt to the taxpayers – you and me. A grossly unfair action that demands a hardworking citizen pay for their neighbor's children's student loan debt incurred when they may have attended, but not necessarily completed, college. Totally disadvantaging a large segment of the population who have no say in the decision and who gain no benefit from this obscene transfer of wealth.
The President has no constitutional, congressional, or legal authority to take this action – so how does Biden gin up the pretense of authority?
Biden appears to be employing the HEROES Act, first enacted in the wake of the September 11 attacks, and provides the Secretary broad authority to grant relief from student loan requirements during specific periods (a war, other military operation, or national emergency
So you might ask, which war? Which military operation? Which national emergency? COVID-19, of course!
"For the past year and a half, the Office of General Counsel ("OGC"), in consultation with our colleagues at the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel, has conducted a review of the Secretary's legal authority to cancel student debt on a categorical basis. This review has included assessing the analysis outlined in a publicly disseminated January 2021 memorandum signed by a former Principal Deputy General Counsel. As detailed below, we have determined that the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students ("HEROES") Act of 2003 grants the Secretary authority that could be used to effectuate a program of targeted loan cancellation directed at addressing the financial harms of the COVID-19 pandemic."
So Biden does it anyway and leaves it up to the courts to fight it out in what may prove to be a years-long process that will see him accruing political credit now for the attempt and hoping the result years later will be buried as "old news" as Hillary Clinton is wont to say.
What can I say other than we are so screwed?
And that we are all Americans. Forget the divisive identity politics. No more Democrats and Republicans. No more rednecks and snowflakes. Unless we work together, the most exceptional nation on the face of the Earth will turn into another corrupt, unexceptional European-style nation, or, heaven forbid, a third-world banana republic governed by a strong man with only the pretense of democracy.
In both life and politics, there are no perfect answers as an adequate response to an imperfect world. And, most often, the reality is that the only choice we have left is to choose the lesser of two evils – fully knowing that we are still supporting evil.

Must Read! Letter to Dave Eby from Chief Roland Willson of Moberly First Nation on Site C
Chief Roland Willson recently addressing Parliamentary committee on environmental assessment Bill C-69
The following is the full text of a letter to Attorney General Dave Eby from Chief Roland Willson, of one of two First Nations making a civil claim of treaty infringement against BC, Canada and BC Hydro in BC Supreme Court. It's required reading for all British Columbians.
MLA Vancouver-Point Grey
Elected 2013, 2017 BC NDP
Attention: Honourable David Eby, Q.C.
AG.Minister@gov.bc.ca
Minister Eby, Je aa haanach'e:
Re: Withdrawal from Site C Injunction
We write regarding the recent decision of the Attorney General of Canada to withdraw its opposition to our application for an interim injunction to suspend construction of the Site C Dam (the "Injunction"), and regarding the positions being advanced last week by your Ministry and BC Hydro in response to the Injunction. For the reasons set out below, we urge your Government to withdraw its opposition to the Injunction and to initiate plans to suspend work at Site C until our underlying claim of Treaty Infringement is resolved.
1. The Denial of our Rights is Incompatible with Reconciliation
We were surprised and disappointed to read the interpretations of Indigenous rights that B.C.'s lawyers have been instructed to advance last week under your leadership. It is well-established that when negotiating Treaty 8 with Indigenous signatories, the Crown's representatives made oral promises to protect the Indigenous Parties' traditional mode of life from forced interference, and that the protection afforded by Treaty 8 rights must be interpreted in light of such promises. We have spent years attempting to explain, and provided thousands of pages documenting, the many pathways tying our Dunne-za way of life to the Peace River valley. The evidence filed in support of the Injunction contains some of the most sensitive information to be shared not only about our hunting, fishing and trapping, but about our sacred places, prophecies, teachings, and spiritual practices. Our Elders and knowledge- holders have carefully described how Site C in combination with the previous two dams on the Peace, will irrevocably alter these cultural values and practices.
But under your instruction, B.C. lawyers are inviting the Court to deny all of this. They assert that the Treaty holds no protection for our "specific or preferred locations":
"The question as to whether the impacts from Site C infringe the Plaintiffs' Treaty rights must be measured against the Plaintiffs' rights as actually protected under the Treaty and as recognized and affirmed by section 35. Treaty 8 does not provide for the exercise of rights at specific or "preferred" locations."
They deny that we will suffer any irreparable harm, and even assert that "the infringement of Treaty rights may be financially compensable", as if the Government could simply pay its way out of its most fundamental constitutional obligations.
These are the same types of arguments that were led against us in 2011 when the provincial government, then led by the B.C. Liberals, asked the Court to find that Treaty 8 did not protect "specific or preferred" species such as caribou, which have been driven to the point of extirpation by previous dams on the Peace and other unchecked development. We defeated those arguments. But it is disheartening to see them revived under your leadership, particularly given your own work defending human rights before entering public life, and your Government's commitments to pursue reconciliation by implementing the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
2. Your Lawyers Tell us Not to Trust You
Like many British Columbians, we believed the statements made by Premier Horgan and his colleagues supporting our opposition to Site C and promising to cancel the project after the implications to ratepayers were assessed by the BCUC. So, when the B.C. NDP took office last summer and our appeals of previous judicial reviews concluded that a civil action would be necessary to determine the issue of Treaty infringement, we waited for the BCUC inquiry and we participated in it in good faith. Our civil claims were commenced only after your Government decided to proceed with Site C notwithstanding the BCUC's recommendation that there were alternatives available at an equivalent cost to ratepayers.
In its filed response to our Injunction, your Ministry now asks the Court to punish us for placing faith in your Government and for taking its elected representatives at their word:
"The Plaintiffs' reliance on the statements of elected representatives to explain their delay in this regard is misplaced. It is well established that statements by elected representatives do not fetter decision makers, nor do political speeches constitute legally enforceable promises against the Crown."
You simply cannot have it both ways. If you wish to promise reconciliation when in front of the cameras, you should demonstrate it in your submissions before the Court.
3. Our Rights Deserve No Less Respect than the Interests of Kinder Morgan
We understand the concerns that have been expressed about the risk of an oil spill if Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline is constructed. There are thousands of kilometers of pipelines in our territory, and we have experienced oil spills firsthand. We also appreciate the caution your Government has taken by asking the Court to weigh in on the constitutionality of any Government actions which could affect the interests of Kinder Morgan, the Government of Alberta, or the federal government. This demonstrates respect for the rule of law and due process.
The Treaty rights of our Nations are entrenched in the constitution, and we are entitled to this same degree of respect. Your Government should not be continuing with Site C in the absence of a determination on the issue of Treaty infringement. We therefore urge you to withdraw from the Injunction and to initiate the suspension of construction activities until such a determination is made.
We anticipate your considered reply. Wuujo aasana laa,

He says the measure, which will address "unfairnesses in property taxation", will be phased out "gradually" from 2017.
"Buy-to-let landlords have a huge advantage in the market as they can offset their mortgage interest payments against their income, whereas homebuyers cannot. And the better-off the landlord, the more tax relief they get. For the wealthiest, every pound of mortgage interest costs they incur, they get 45p back from the taxpayer" Osborne told MPs.
"All this has contributed to the rapid growth in buy-to-let properties, which now account for over 15 per cent of new mortgages, something the Bank of England warned us last week could pose a risk to our financial stability. So we will act – but we will act in a proportionate and gradual way, because I know that many hardworking people who've saved and invested in property depend on the rental income they get" he said.
This is only one of a number of property-related measures introduced by Osborne in the Budget, but undoubtedly the most controversial.
"This a major blow to a sector that is heavily reliant on private investors and who provide a crucial supply of property to the private rental sector" says Nick Leeming, chief executive of Jackson Stops & Staff.
"We were disappointed to hear of the reduction in tax breaks for buy to let investors as this will discourage new landlords from entering the sector and will result in a lack of stock. This will inevitably lead to higher rents as at the end of the day landlords are business people and will need to compensate for this" says Glynis Frew, managing director of Hunters Property Group.
However, some market analysts feared worse. "There had been fears among landlords that relief on mortgage interest payments for buy-to-let landlords would be completely abolished so while the changes will hit higher-rate taxpayers – retaining mortgage interest relief but restricting it to basic rate tax – it is not as bad as it might have been" says Adrian Anderson of property finance specialists Anderson Harris.
Short-lets – including by those undertaken by Airbnb-style amateur landlords – received a boost because the Chancellor also announced that after 18 years the Rent-A-Room tax-free earnings limit would rise from £4,250 to £7,500 per year.
Tens of thousands of first-time buyers are set to benefit from a £26m windfall for affordable homes.
Communities Secretary Greg Clark announced the cash boost as he visited Manchester. It is part of the government's national Starter Homes initiative.
The cash will support architects, councils, housing associations and developers in creating a new range of homes aimed at first-time buyers.
It will be used to acquire brownfield sites for new houses, with cash from the sales of these sites going back to the public purse.
The government is a providing an additional £10m for local councils to prepare more brownfield sites for development.
It is part of the government's pledge to build 200,000 starter homes by 2020.
Mr Clark was visiting The Point at New Islington and Louisa Street in Openshaw to see how developers are using new designs to attract young buyers.
Greg Clark said: "This competitive fund will build homes that will clearly show the wide range of new properties that will be available to first-time buyers as they take their first step on the housing ladder.
The government says house building is a key part of its long-term economic plan, with almost 800,000 extra homes already delivered since the end of 2009.
It says its new Housing Bill and proposed national planning policy changes will ensure hundreds of thousands of starter homes will be built.
It plans to bring forward proposals to ensure that every reasonably-sized housing site includes a proportion of starter homes.
Starter homes will be offered exclusively to first-time buyers aged under 40 with a discount of 20 per cent on market values.
Housing Minister Brandon Lewis said: "Helping young people achieve their dream of home ownership is a real priority for this government. We've already helped more than 100,000 households buy a home through our ground-breaking Help to Buy scheme and Starter Homes are another game-changer.
A project to build 172 new homes in Hulme has been approved by council planners.
A mixture of two-bed apartments and three-bed townhouses will be built across the two sites 'Hulme Living' after planners gave the green light to the scheme.
Building work on the new homes, which will be available for rent, is due to begin in the Spring on Royce Road and Leaf Street.
The new homes will be delivered by One Manchester and is the group's first new build scheme.
Dave Power, chief executive of One Manchester, said he is delighted that the two planning applications have been approved by Manchester City Council.
He said: "Hulme Living is an extremely exciting project for One Manchester as it gives us an opportunity for the first time to build new market rent homes for people in the city.
"The project will bring direct community benefits including employment opportunities, apprenticeships and supply chain opportunities for local businesses. All revenue we make from the homes will be ploughed back into our work in the local area and our communities across Manchester – demonstrating our ability to find a new and better way to deliver the new homes our city needs.
The new homes on Royce Road will consist of 67 two-bedroom apartments designed by OMI architects and will be situated on a corner site where Royce Road meets Chorlton Road.
The development on Leaf Street will have 105 new homes adjacent to Princess Parkway. Designed by Mecanoo, the site will offer a mixture of two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses.
All revenues earned from the new homes will be reinvested back into community development programmes, including future housebuilding, to help improve the lives of people living in One Manchester's communities.
A building contractor for the work is expected to be announced in the next few weeks.
Information about Hulme Living is available at www.hulmeliving.co.uk and will be updated as the development progresses.

It won't have escaped your attention that HNS 2013 recently ended in St Petersburg, Florida. A few attendees volunteered to offer their impressions of events.
Marie seconds this, adding: "I felt particularly challenged by pitching my manuscript to an agent, and by the sword workshop. I cannot say I enjoyed the former, but it was worthwhile and I'm glad for the experience. The sword workshop was a physical challenge, but I enjoyed it tremendously, for its discipline, focus, and sharing the fun with so many others. The panels provided tips, food for thought, and opportunities for much discussion.
I particularly enjoyed the panel about researching, something I personally tend to overdo." I think we can all agree with that!
Marie highly recommends attending at least one HNS conference and looks forward to the next one.

In today's world, where there is extensive mobility of people across national barriers, the factors affecting the health of people across countries constitute a critical issue. The field of international health covers a wide array of factors and domains that define and affect the health of people in more than one country. These could have global health implications. They cover issues as diverse as infectious diseases, chronic diseases, environmental health and climate protection, health of vulnerable and displaced populations, equity and social justice, health care delivery systems, as well as public health policy and social determinants of health. Some infectious diseases that have historically been of international health interests include HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, polio, measles and Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Some infectious diseases that can be controlled by vaccination have seen drops in vaccination rates in certain countries and is a serious concern shared by public health experts. Dr. Clarence Clottey, a public health expert and primary care doctor, explains the importance of international health in our global society.
One goal shared by global health professionals is to contain and treat the occurrence of large outbreaks of disease, as well as preventing the spread of these diseases from country to country. Global health professionals also work to detect and report outbreaks of these diseases. They have built a responsive network that responds efficiently when a disease is detected, in collaboration with international entities such as the World Health Organization.
Many different health initiatives are being promoted today to prevent and contain some of these diseases. These range from immunization to maternal and child health. All of these initiatives have the potential to change lives for the better in countries around the world.
Vaccination efforts have been recently highlighted in the United States, Canada, and Europe due to a substantial number of parents who are skeptical about the benefits and safety of childhood vaccinations, especially for measles and chickenpox. There appears to be a resurgence of some of these diseases that had been effectively eliminated in, for instance, the United States, while other parts of the world still struggle to contain and eliminate these infectious diseases.
Polio, for example, is close to elimination worldwide, but many people in developing countries are infected each year. Global and International health professionals help to coordinate the delivery of the oral polio vaccine and support doctors and hospitals to treat and prevent the disease.
Public health professionals work with doctors and hospitals in developing countries to reduce that burden of illnesses among mothers and children and therefore reduce the maternal and child mortality. Maternal and Child mortality is highest in developing countries, however, of note, the United States has a relatively high rate of infant mortality compared to other industrialized nations. Most of the work toward supporting maternal and child health involves promoting access to care and proper prenatal care and safety in delivering babies.
Clean water is an essential component of healthy living, and access to clean water is an international health issue. Water-borne diseases like cholera still affect people in many developing countries. Global health organizations often work with local officials to ensure the safety of communal water supplies.
In addition to supporting access to good clean drinking water, international health professionals work with local governments and organizations to promote food security and food safety. Thus, promoting efforts to keep supplies of food adequate and safe. Additionally, many countries have customs and excise regulations to safeguard food entering and leaving their countries. This helps to curb the spread of foodborne diseases across many countries.
Hygienic practices and education, as well as good sanitation, have been critical in reducing and preventing water and foodborne illnesses. Global health supports initiatives to spread the word about proper hand washing with available safe water and proper disposal of waste materials.
Global health collaboration between governments, professionals, and agencies such as the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has introduced many different programs to help slow the spread of many diseases of international or global impact like HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. These two disease epidemics were linked in certain populations because tuberculosis became the leading cause of death among HIV/AIDS patients. Antiretroviral medications were used to reduce patients' viral loads while vigilance in identifying multi-drug resistance tuberculosis helped to manage the impact of the spread of tuberculosis better.
Malaria and other insect-borne and parasitic diseases continue to have a serious impact around the world. In international and global health, efforts continue to reduce the transmission of these diseases through the promotion of proper sanitation, access to clean water, proper use of insecticides, and appropriate water treatment.
As the changing climate continues to unravel the earth's ecosystems which were developed and stabilized over many millennia, scientists have warned about the dire consequences to our environment and our health. Man-made conditions and human activities in different parts of the globe now challenge the entire global landscape. The health and survival of the human race are ultimately being challenged. Dr. Clarence Clottey believes that joint international health activities can help mitigate some of the effects of environmental conditions on human health.
Dr. Clarence Clottey touches on the importance of recognizing that health concerns in one country often parallel that in many other countries. The inter-relatedness of many factors that affect the health of populations are not limited by national and political boundaries. It, therefore, requires the concerted effort of people of all nations to work closely to address many of the contributory factors to disease and poor living conditions. A lot of global and international health initiatives focus on developing countries, but these activities also have a resonance with industrialized countries like the United States and Canada. Vigilance is necessary by all, to keep preventable diseases and conditions that have been on the decline for decades, from making a resurgence globally.
Addressing international health has benefits for all countries. However, many developing countries have fewer resources to address some of these challenges. Global organizations and those nation states with more abundant resources, need to play a role in helping to build capacity in those resource-poor countries. However, it will take that contribution of every country, no matter its geo-economic status, to build the international and global health system that would sustain the populations on our planet.

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Questions Answers
Q.1 How did Netaji act in following situations?
(i)	When he had to meet somebody.
Ans. When Netaji Subhash Chander Bose had to meet somebody, he would do all the preparations beforehand. He would learn all about the person and his problems before the interview. The result of such a meeting was that the person would go back happily and satisfied that the supreme commander knew him closely. It created a personal bond between Netaji and his men.
(ii)	In making the best use of the abilities of him men.
Ans.	Netaji was gifted with the ability to judge the character of a man. This quality enabled him to put the right man at the right place at the right time and on the right job. The result was that he was able to device the best of his men's ability. Many of his subordinates thought that he had made them heroes out of nothing.
Q.2 Narrate the episode which surprised the author at the accuracy of Netaj's power of Judgement.
Ans. The chapter 'Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose' is an extract from colonel G.S.Dhillon's autobiography in which the author throws light on the character and qualities of Subhash Chandra Bose. He says that Netaji had a remarkable power of observation which enables him to predict an eventuality correctly. He cites an example in this context. He remembers an incident when he was posted some 500km away from Rangoon to watch out some post and defend them from enemies. Netaji wrote a small note to the author in reply to his earlier letter in which the author expected the enemy at a particular point But Netaji advised him to watch at certain other points. He gave a six figured map reference. Although Netaji was in Rangoon at a far distance from the author, his prediction was accurate because the author was facing the enemy at that point this incident narrates Netaji's power of prediction.
Q.3 Write a short not on Netaji is military foresight.
Ans. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose had many qualities of generalship. Cone of his great qualities was his military foresightedness. The author gives an example of Netaji's Military foresight. The annual session of INA was held at Tripura in Jabalpur in March 1939. Netaji proposed that the congress should at once send an ultimatum to the British Govt. demanding complete independence within six months. A warning of nationwide struggle was also to be given in that proposal Netaji's proposal was based on situations of Europe at that time. Netaji predicted that the second world war would break out within 6 months and hence the British Government would not be able to face the strong revolution in that situation but the proposal was opposed by the rightist leaders of congress. Netaji's plan was beyond the understanding of those congress leaders. Netaji's guess was accurate and the war broke out in September 1939.
Q.4 How did the Indian People in British react when INA Trials of three INA heroes began?
Ans. The war between the INA and British Army ended with the defeat of the INA. The INA from line commanders were arrested and the trial of the 3 frontline commanders col. G.S. Dhillon, P.K. Sehgal and Shah Nawaz Khan started on 5th Nov. 1945. The British Officers thought that the Indian People especially the solders would appreciate the British action against the INA officers. But they were shocked because as soon as the first INA trial started in Red fort, disturbances broke out in Lahore, Lukhnow, Calcutta and many other parts of the country. Hundreds of demonstrators were injured and many were killed in police firing but people demanded to stop the INA trials and release the INA officer Even there were revolts in the Royal Indian Navy and the Royal Indian Air Force. The British Officers understood that the days of British rule in India were close to their end.
Q.5. Write a note on Secular character of Netaji?
Ans. Col. G.S.Dhillon records many great virtues of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose in this extract. He says that one of the great qualities in Netaji's character was his secularism. He says that Netaji was a true secularist. All his subordinate knew quite well that they would get absolute Justice from him and his Govt. There would never be any difference on the basis of religion, caste or birth area under Netaji's command. The provisional govt. of Azad Hind also ensured complete justice and liberty for the citizens of India irrespective of their religion caste or any other basis. The proclamation of provisional govt. of Azad Hind guaranteed religious liberty, equal rights and opportunities to all its citizens.
Q.6 There is ……… Raj Prove the truth of the statement.
Ans. There is a contraction in the statement Netaji's power of generalship turned the defeat of INA into the defeat of British Raj'. This statement of col. G.S. Dhillon is true to its best. He wants to say that though the INA lost the war against the British Indian Army yet Netaji's tactful planning of war ultimately transformed this defeat into the defeat of the British Raj. When Netaji ordered his soldiers to be in the battlefield even in the face of sure defeat, Noone inducing the soldiers and enemy Officers understood Netaji's strategy. Netaji had a secret plan behind his order. When the Indian soldiers of the British Indian Army saw that the soldiers of the INA were fighting irrespective of their poor strength and poorer equipment just for the freedom of their motherland, they felt ashamed. They felt sympathy for the INA soldiers. It created a psychological revolution. The war ended with the end of Slavish mentality of the Indian soldiers.
Q.7 In What respect can Netaji's Provisional govt of Azad Hind be called the forerunner of our govt. today?
Ans. Netaji's Provisional Govt. of Azad Hind can be called the forerunner of our govt. today because of today's govt. also follows many features and promises which were there in the proclamation of the provisional govt. of Azad Hind. One of the key features in the proclamation of Azad Hind provisional govt. was secularism. Netaji's provisional government guaranteed the religious liberty of the citizens of India. It also promised to give equal rights and opportunities to all the citizens irrespective of any religion caste, or birthplace. It also promised not to discriminate people on any basis. Today's government also promises to follow all these features which have been mentioned in our constitution. So it can be said that Netaji's provisional government was the frowner of present-day government.
Q. 8 Make a general assessment of Netaji as:-
(a) A man of a brave but kind heart.
Ans. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was a born leader who shared a personal bond with all his men. He was a man of a brave but kind heart. He had a compassionate nature. He always cared for the honour, welfare and comfort of his soldiers. He had a very kind heart. He was never known to punish anybody. His way of dealing with the defaulters was full of mercy. He always gave a defaulter a piece of advice so that the default could improve himself.
b) A man of keen insight and foresight.
Ans. Netaji had remarkable qualities of generalship. His foresight and ability to judge the character of a man could easily surpass any other professional general. He could put the right man at the right place at the right time and on the right job. He was able to drive the best of his men similarly, his power of observation and prediction enabled him to do such tactful planning in the war that resulted in the defeat of the British rule in India.
Q.9 What did General Selzo Arisue inform Rash Bihari Bose and what was Rash Bihari's race?
Ans. When the INA was going through a crisis, General Seizo Arisue, second-in-command of the Japanese Imperial Army called Rash Bihari Bose and informed him about Netaji's arrival to take supreme generalship of the INA from him. He wanted to know what was going in Rash Bihari mind. Rash Bihari Bose replied that Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was a born leader of leaders. He was glad and said that it was an honour for him to take over the generalship from him.
Q.10 Narrate the Author's meeting.
Ans. In 1974 the author col. G.S. Dhillon visited Japan. He met General Fujiwara there. One day when both were passing along General Tojo's house reminiscing the war days. The author asked General Fujiwara about Prime Minister Tojo's opinion about Netaji General Flyiwara said that Prime Minister Tojo considered Netaji the man of the century. He was greatly impressed by Netaji's inborn abilities of leadership.
Q.11 How did Netaji give expression to his compassion for his man?
Ans. The author says that Netaji had a compassion nature which always reflected in his attitude towards his men. Netaji not only cared for the honour, welfare and comfort of his soldiers but also respected their feelings. He always overwhelmed his men with his concern for them, individually and collectively. Once he sent a pair of boots to a soldier with instruction in the regimental commander to see personally that if fitted the man and report back to him. He also helped his staff officers to wash hands by pouring water and offered his own towel to scrub hands.
Q.12 How did Netaji's love and appreciation bring a change in his men?
Ans. Netaji had a compassionate nature and he was very loving and caring towards the honour, welfare and comfort of his soldiers. He always respected their feelings. He shared a personal bond with his men and always stood with them in their difficulties. He gave spontaneous feelings which came out of his heart to all his men. He shed tears on hearing about their difficulties. This made his men feet happy, proud and lucky to do and dee under his command. It was this relationship which kept up the morale of his men in spite of all difficulties and deficiencies.
Q.13	How was Netaji's firm about the freedom of India and what did the British Officers think about that?
Ans. Even when the INA was losing in the battlefield against the British Indian Army, Netaji kept saying that there was no power on earth that would keep India enslaved. Indo would be free very soon. The enemy officers used to mock at the statemen of Netaji because the thought that it was illusory and a face-saving device.

Viruses in the family Bunyaviridae can infect animals and plants (1). The family is composed of 5 genera: Orthobunyavirus, Phlebovirus, Nairovirus, Hantavirus, and Tospovirus (2). The genus Phlebovirus contains known disease agents of animals, including humans, that can be carried by different vectors (e.g., phlebotomine sandflies, mosquitoes, and ticks) (3). In 2009, an outbreak of an acute febrile illness, known as severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), occurred in China. During an investigation of the outbreak, a previously unknown bunyavirus from the tick Haemaphysalis longicornis was identified as the causative agent of SFTS (4). SFTS virus (SFTSV) has since been shown to be responsible for >150 human infections in 16 Chinese provinces and to have an associated death rate of ≈12% (5,6).
In June 2009, in northwestern Missouri, United States, 2 men from 2 geographically distant farms were hospitalized for fever, fatigue, diarrhea, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia. Both men had been bitten by ticks 5–7 days before the onset of symptoms. A virus was isolated from the leukocytes of each patient and later identified as a novel phlebovirus by next-generation sequencing. The 2 viruses were highly related (98%, 95%, and 99% sequence identity for the small, medium, and large viral genome segments, respectively), indicating that the men were independently infected with the same virus. This new virus, named Heartland virus (HRTV), was most closely related to, but clearly distinct from, the SFTSV detected in China (7).
Subsequent to these disease events in China and the United States, fatal SFTSV infections were reported in humans in Japan (8) and Korea (9). Because similar viruses and human infections have been detected in 2 well-separated continents (i.e., Asia and North America), it is tempting to hypothesize that similar viruses may also exist in tick populations on other continents. We report the isolation and characterization of a phlebovirus from ticks in Australia that is similar to SFTSV and HRTV.
In 2002, a disease outbreak occurred in a shy albatross (Thalassarche cauta) colony on Albatross Island, a small island in the Hunter Island Group in northwestern Tasmania, Australia. The disease in the albatrosses was characterized by weight loss and death. Serum samples and ticks (Ixodes eudyptidis) from healthy and affected birds were sent to the CSIRO (the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization) Australian Animal Health Laboratory in Geelong, Victoria, Australia, for diagnostic investigation. Several laboratory tests were conducted to detect potential viral pathogens involved in the disease event.
The ELISA or hemagglutination inhibition assay was used to test serum samples (N = 38) for antibodies against avian influenza virus, infectious bursal disease virus, fowlpox virus, and Newcastle disease virus. Neutralizing antibodies for Newcastle disease virus (titer of 64) were detected in 1 serum sample; otherwise, no antibodies against any of these suspected agents were detected.
Pooled tick homogenates (N = 5) were cultured on chicken embryos, chicken embryo fibroblast and skin cells, and Vero cells. No virus was detected in chicken embryos or in any of the chicken cell lines used. In contrast, cytopathic effect was observed on the third passage in Vero cell cultures inoculated with 2 tick pools (1 collected from diseased birds and the other from healthy birds).
Electron microscopy examination revealed morphologically similar viral particles from both cultures; the morphologic features resembled those of bunyaviruses (Figure 1). However, testing with antibodies against a range of known bunyaviruses (orthobunyavirus, phlebovirus, and nairovirus) did not reveal any cross-reactivity. PCR analysis using bunyavirus-specific primers (10) also failed to detect any specific sequence from this newly isolated virus.
The investigation was put on hold until 2011 when the Australian Animal Health Laboratory established its next-generation sequencing capability. RNA extracted from partially purified virus grown in Vero cells was used for random PCR amplification. The resulting products were used for library preparation and subsequently sequenced by using the 454 GS FLX system (454 Life Sciences, Branford, CT, USA) according to standard protocols (11,12). In total, 6.9 Mb of sequence, consisting of 23,617 reads, was obtained and assembled into 722 contigs.
BLASTN (http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) analysis at the nucleotide level showed no sequence identity to any of the known viruses in GenBank (data not shown). However, a protein-based BLASTX (http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) search yielded 10 contigs showing protein sequence identity to SFTSV and some degree of sequence identity to several other members of the family Bunyaviridae. The virus was tentatively named Hunter Island Group virus (HIGV) after the location where the tick samples were obtained.
On the basis of the partial sequences derived from next-generation sequencing, primers were designed to obtain the rest of the genome sequences by using gap-filling PCR and 5′ and 3′ RACE methods previously developed by our group (13). The complete genome sequences of the large, medium, and small segments have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbers KF848980, KF848981, and KF848982, respectively.
The Table summarizes the genetic and sequence features of the genome segments and deduced proteins of HIGV and several selected phleboviruses. From the sequence comparison, it is evident that HIGV is a new member of the genus Phlebovirus and that it is most closely related to the newly discovered zoonotic members of the genus, SFTSV and HRTV. This finding was further confirmed by phylogenetic analysis based on nucleotide and protein sequences of all 3 genome segments (representative trees shown in Figure 2). Because HIGV was isolated from ticks collected from healthy and diseased birds we believed it was unlikely that the virus was the causative agent for the disease in the shy albatrosses. To further confirm this, we conducted ELISA and Western blot analysis using a recombinant HIGV nucleocapsid protein, which was expressed and purified from Escherichia coli by using previously described methods (14,15). Of the 38 serum samples tested, none produced positive readings in ELISA or Western blot. In addition, none were positive when tested by HIGV-specific quantitative PCR targeting the polymerase gene of the large segment.
We identified a novel tick-borne phlebovirus, HIGV, during the investigation of a disease outbreak among shy albatrosses in Tasmania. Genetic characterization showed that the virus is closely related to 2 newly discovered tick-borne zoonotic phleboviruses (SFTSV and HRTV) that were responsible for severe disease and death in humans in 4 separate countries in Asia and North America. However, with the current data alone, the particular disease event in the shy albatrosses could not be attributed to HIGV.
The findings from this study demonstrate the key role that a vigilant pathogen investigation has in any diagnostic assessment. The study findings also suggests that zoonotic phleboviruses genetically related to SFTSV, HRTV, and HIGV may be widely distributed in different parts of the world and that heightened international surveillance is needed to fully understand and appreciate the public health risk from these emerging viruses.

Our vision for reconciliation is for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to have access to a high standard of reproductive and sexual health services which are delivered with respect, recognising the culturally significant needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients, and stakeholders who visit our centres. Furthermore, we want our centres to be welcoming, safe and inclusive for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients, visitors and staff.
We cultivate relationships and connections between the various communities that our different centres dwell on. We will continue to pay our respects to the Traditional Owners and their Elders of these lands and recognise that we are visitors here. Through our work we will actively join the reconciliation ethos through our attitudes, services and partnerships.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) solidifies Family Planning NSW's commitment to reconciliation, and sets clear actions for the next two years to ensure the work we do is respectful, safe and inclusive for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals and communities.
On Monday 24th September, Family Planning NSW launched our first RAP at the Family Planning NSW Dubbo clinic. The RAP solidifies Family Planning NSW's commitment to reconciliation, and sets clear actions for the next two years to ensure the work we do is respectful, safe and inclusive for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals and communities.
The ceremony officially commenced with a traditional Welcome to Country performed by local Elder Margaret Walker, followed by an address from the Family Planning NSW Aboriginal team. Representatives, Mary Ann Hausia and Tony Fuller from the Aboriginal women's and men's advisory groups also spoke about the importance of reconciliation and the continued emphasis that needs to be placed on consumer engagement. The document was officially launched by CEO Adjunct Professor Ann Brassil, which was then followed by a celebratory morning tea.

Eagle Global and TrueMark Target Renewable Energy With RNWZ
James ComtoisDec 09, 2022
TrueMark Investments and Eagle Global Advisors have announced the launch of the TrueShares Eagle Global Renewable Energy Income ETF (RNWZ ), which began trading on the New York Stock Exchange today. This actively managed ETF is designed to offer investors core renewables exposure and stable income by investing in renewables infrastructure companies that are providing value through accelerating the global transition to clean energy. Eagle Global will serve as subadvisor to the fund.
Michael Cerasoli, portfolio manager of RNWZ at Eagle Global, said in a news release that the fund "is a great vehicle for investors to gain access to the global megatrend created by declining renewables costs and global efforts at decarbonization."
"Above and beyond the environmental characteristics, the next generation of renewable infrastructure companies are laying the groundwork necessary to restructure power grids and commercialize the utility of solar, wind, hydro, and biomass alternatives that have more runway and tailwinds than ever before," Cerasoli added.
TrueMark Investments CEO Michael Loukas said: "Given the ongoing tailwinds in the renewable energy infrastructure industry, their wealth of experience in the sector gives us confidence that RNWZ is in capable hands. From an investment perspective, we believe that this concentrated portfolio has the potential to produce a steady current income stream coupled with the possibility of meaningful future upside."
The fund's portfolio is made up of 25–30 owners and operators of renewable infrastructure. RNWZ has an expense ratio of 0.75%.
"The recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act is a jolt of energy to the transition to renewables power generation," Cerasoli said. "We're confident that continuing down this path will lead to more sustainable infrastructure and an exciting transition to cleaner energy alternatives."

How We Represent: A Review of FOUR FROM JAPAN: CONTEMPORARY POETRY & ESSAYS BY WOMEN
Author: John Rufo |
Posted in Book Reviews, Poetry, Reading No comments
Four From Japan: Contemporary Poetry & Essays by Women is an anthology rooted in a specific time and place. No, that place is not Japan, nor is it the respective eras from which the four poets emerged. The time and place of which I'm thinking is New York City, 2006, the setting in which Poets House and Belladonna* hosted a Festival of Contemporary Japanese Women Poets. As noted by Sawako Nakayasu, this book, then, becomes a commemoration of that event: it crystallizes a collapsing of boundary (America/Japan) while also uprooting our notion of the when of these poems—they are contemporary, but they are now, in 2015, poems almost a decade old.
But this specific time and place does not pose a problem in reading Four From Japan. What is typically seen as limitation instead becomes a "stretching of the surface," as poet Ryoko Sekiguchi writes in terms of translating oneself. Because there is a context, we can begin our learning of these poets and poems. For all of these poets—Kiriu Minashita, Kyong-Mi Park, Ryoko Sekiguchi, and Takako Arai—concern themselves with the elasticity of language and the variation of form—at the very least, the poems are all activation and possibility. They are borrowers. They unmask plural complications. For none of these poets want you to have a singular idea of "Japan," "Japanese-ness," or "poetry."
The anthology allows its reader to explode one's own conceptions and definitions and explore beyond the familiar. Sawako Nakayasu, the primary translator of this anthology and a very fine poet herself, proposes that this anthology works away from the idea that there should be "a narrow definition of women's writing that focuses on identity." Nakayasu insists that the writing works as "a contemporary border crossing," so that the range of ideas and structures within the pieces is multivalent, "hybrid," and difficult.
Kiriu Minashita is one of the poets dealing in this slipperiness. Her poem "A Perfect Day for Coelacanth" plays off J.D. Salinger's "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," but turns on another point: that "Coelacanth" is, at the same time, the common name for one of the most endangered species of fish in the world, and, according to a footnote, is also the name of a character in the Japanese alphabet. "Coelacanth" becomes, then, "common" (part of the language system) while also "rare" (the species that cannot be identified easily in the waters because the fish are few and far between). This paradoxical point of poetic production and pleasure is best amplified by Minashita's own ars poetica, in which she writes:
"I believe a poem teeters at the very edge of nothingness, at the boundary between non-existence and a state of pre-existence, the instant before an object gets named and brought into being."
The poems of Four From Japan all dance on this site where they almost exist and also do not exist: wherein the blank space on the page resides as primordial deep water that interacts with the named letter-fish swimming amid the knowledge of their own limited life spans. It's no wonder most of these poets translate: they present a persistent awareness of all (of) language's flexible functions.
The poets are at once aware of play and of political implication within these texts. As Kyong-Mi Park writes, "There's no such thing as your 'own' language. Words that we call words all belong to others." Whenever we speak, we are borrowing; whenever we write, we are flowing through a medium we did not create. No single agent can responsibly take credit for "language;" therefore, individual identity based on language or "culture" must be treated with special care and nuance. Takako Arai squares this notion in her poem "Fox, Appearing," where her lines are all doubled and changed: "Possible he can see me / Plausibly it consumes me." The similarity of "seeing" and "consuming" in the names reflects a colonialist or globalizing reality where the simple sight can be the same as a false ownership, a taking, a consuming. Arai, who teaches Japanese, reflects in her writing the realities brought forth in the deceivingly surface-shifts of syntax and sound.
Four From Japan: Contemporary Poetry & Essays by Women is one of the best anthologies I've encountered because the book shows a practice of de-centralization instead of map-making and canon-formation. The works are presented in translation and in Japanese; they provide writing by the poets in both lines and in prose; and they all interlock and complicate one another without presenting a narrow view of what Japanese poetry by women can be.

Q: Why is AndroidStudio crashing on startup after Markdown Plugin install? Installing a new plugin caused some conflicts with an existing one. After restarting AndroidStudio it just crashes. I figured out a solution and thought I share it here.

A: Because I had a weird problem with conflicting Plugins I thought I would share my experience on how to fix the problem, at least for me and hopefully for others.
I installed a new plugin called "Markdown Navigator Enhanced" by vladsch (v3.0.197.72) while having the JetBrains Markdown plugin still enabled. I thought I try something new but it seems that there is a conflict between the both plugins which caused a mess. After restarting, AndroidStudio crashed and closed immediately.

Because AndroidStudio crashed ungracefully I had no way to disable the plugin I just installed so I had to figure something out.
After looking for solutions on the web and not finding anything relevant I thought I give it a try myself.
I figured I had to disable at least the plugin manager or something along the line so I can at least enter AS and disable the plugin I just installed.
Actually it's an easy fix but it took me a while figuring out how to do it. Here are the steps for MAC

*

*Enter the following directory /Library/Application Support/AndroidStudio4.0/marketplace/lib/boot/

*delete/move the file marketplace-bootstrap.jar DON'T DELETE IT PERMANENTLY, only move it to the trash or some other folder

*Startup AndroidStudio and you should get the following Dialog

*Select Use Markdown by JetBrains for now, Enable and Restart

*AS should open up. Make sure the plugin Markdown Navigator Enhanced is disabled.

*Close AndroidStudio --> Return the file marketplace-bootstrap.jar to his folder

*Start Android Studio and you should now be able to use it as usual.
That's it, I hope I could help someone.

Q: Subtotal IF formula Sorry if this is a real basic question - But I'm not having any luck at all.
How would I subtotal only cells within the G column that meet the following requirements based on their row:
Contain the word 'test' in column A
Contain the date '01/01/2023' in column C
I've tried using SUMIF, but not sure how to incorporate the 'Subtotal 109'?

A: The SUBTOTAL function only operates on ranges. To accomplish what you're asking for you have to first filter the data in a separate range and then run SUBTOTAL.
