Fall silent for fellow students
Jessi Barker, Out and About Editor
The first Day of Silence was organized in 1996 by a group of 150 students at the University of Virginia after being given an assignment on non-violent protests. Day of Silence is a day where individuals pledge a vow of silence for the day to represent the silencing and erasure of the LGBTQ+ community. Since then, the event has spread to all 50 states, and has even spread as far as New Zealand, Singapore, and Russia. In 2001, Day of Silence became an official sponsored event by Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). This year, Day of Silence was held on Friday, April 27. Though this event is recognized nationwide, many still question why this day is needed.
As the years have gone by, LGBTQ+ rights have increased, and more laws involving protecting the community against hate have been put in place. In 1952, homosexuality was listed as a sociopathic personality disturbance under the American Psychiatric Association, but since then, a lot has changed. In 2000, Vermont became the first state to legalize same sex marriage, with a few states soon to follow. Years later in 2015, the US Supreme Court eliminated all bans on same sex marriage, expanding LGBT rights immensely. Even more recently, in February of 2018, the Pentagon confirmed that the first transgender person has signed a contract to become a member of the US military, according to CNN. While these were major steps for the LGBT community, there are still many battles for the community to have the ability to reach full equality.
Nearly 9 out of 10 LGBTQ+ students have experienced verbal harassment, and 64% of LGBTQ+ students don't feel safe at school due to their sexual orientation. 42% of LGBTQ+ youth have experienced cyber bullying and 44% of LGBTQ+ youth have felt unsafe at school due to their gender identification. Thankfully, statistics show that bullying has decreased over the past years, but those who are LGBTQ+ still have a higher risk of being bullied due to their sexuality or gender identification. After looking at the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey that had been administered in 2015, it is shocking that 40% of high school students who are considered sexual minorities (gay, lesbian, bisexual or questioning) had seriously considered suicide. These statistics show a major issue for the LGBTQ+ youth, and why the Day of Silence is needed now more than ever before.
The WMHS's GSA organized the Day of Silence here. Students signed up for the day of silence by donating two dollars in the cafeteria to a GSA representative or to Mrs. Signorelli, and received a rainbow ribbon pin to wear to represent their participation or their support of the event. Those who decided to participate in the event also received a small piece of paper that students can carry around to explain to others why they are silent for the day. "Even if some people don't understand the day of silence, it reflects something incredibly powerful. We need to make it known how LGBT youth are affected in the world we live in" says the WMHS GSA president. The GSA also hosted a "Break the Silence" party after school to celebrate the dedication of those who participated in the event.

Uber's Travis Kalanick Announces Leave Of Absence; Company Adopts Harassment Policies
By Bill Chappell,
Eric Risberg
Uber says it's making changes to address a culture that was blamed for tolerating sexual harassment and other misconduct.
Uber made two big announcements Tuesday, adopting new policies to improve its workplace environment and saying CEO Travis Kalanick is going on a leave of absence for personal reasons. Kalanick said he needs time to grieve the recent death of his mother.
"The ultimate responsibility, for where we've gotten and how we've gotten here rests on my shoulders," Kalanick said. "There is of course much to be proud of but there is much to improve."
Kalanick said he would be working on a team that could lead "Uber 2.0."
"But if we are going to work on Uber 2.0, I also need to work on Travis 2.0 to become the leader that this company needs and that you deserve," he added.
The statement was included in Uber's note announcing new policies that are meant to help it fight sexual harassment and change a corporate culture that has been blamed for allowing workplace misconduct to flourish. Uber's board unanimously accepted former Attorney General Eric Holder's recommendations for improving the company.
The first recommendation in the report, according to a 13-page summary, is titled "Changes to Senior Leadership." It calls for some of Kalanick's duties to be reallocated and emphasizes the importance of the company's plan to hire a chief operating officer.
Other recommendations ranged from improving accountability and training at the company to bolstering both Uber's human resources department and its employee complaint process. The plan also calls for increasing diversity and establishing a version of the NFL's "Rooney Rule" that would require Uber to include at least one female and one minority candidate in hiring for jobs and to include a woman and/or a minority on hiring panels.
As Uber released details of the plan to its roughly 12,000 employees Tuesday, Chief Human Resources Officer Liane Hornsey said:
"Implementing these recommendations will improve our culture, promote fairness and accountability, and establish processes and systems to ensure the mistakes of the past will not be repeated.
"While change does not happen overnight, we're committed to rebuilding trust with our employees, riders and drivers."
The need for a new approach was highlighted by former Uber engineer Susan Fowler, who published a blog post in February in which she said that she was sexually harassed at the company and that both managers and the human resources unit ignored her complaints.
In response to that and similar accusations, Uber fired 20 employees, including senior executives, and reprimanded 40 more employees. Those moves came last week, after an outside firm was hired to investigate more than 200 misconduct claims against the company, as NPR's Yuki Noguchi reported.
Another recommendation in the new plan calls for Uber to forbid "any type of romantic or intimate relationship between individuals in a reporting relationship." It also calls on the company to prohibit the consumption of alcohol during core work hours and to ban the use of controlled substances.
The final item in the summary that Uber released Tuesday calls for a review of the company's pay practices to make sure it complies with state and federal equal pay laws.
The new plan is emerging at a time of turmoil for Uber's top executives. Its president, Jeff Jones, quit in March after less than six months.
Later Tuesday, a comment about women reportedly made by board member David Bonderman at an all-staff meeting drew outrage and reportedly has led to his resignation.
"There's a lot of data that shows that when there's one woman on the board, it's much more likely that there will be a second woman on the board," board member Arianna Huffington said, according to leaked audio published by Yahoo Finance.
Bonderman then interjected: "Actually, what it shows is that it's much likely to be more talking."
News outlets including the New York Times later reported that Bonderman had resigned from the board, saying his comment had not reflected what he intended to say.
Earlier, Bonderman reportedly apologized in an email to staff. Uber's PR team reweeted a Times reporter's post with an excerpt from the apology, where Bonderman called it a "disrespectful comment" and saying "I deeply regret it."
Thanks to an aggressive growth strategy, Uber now operates in cities on six continents. Valued at around $70 billion, it's one of the largest private companies in the world. But its reputation has suffered over the harassment reports, and the company has also faced challenges to its labor and competition practices, as well as a lawsuit from Google's parent company over its self-driving vehicle program.
Here is how NPR's Aarti Shahani described perceptions about Kalanick, after news of his leave of absence began to circulate Monday:
"We really don't know too much about this yet, but a couple weeks ago, his mom died in a boating accident, and his dad landed in the hospital — so I mean really horrible personal loss. And it could be he just needs a break. It could also be that leadership is losing faith in his ability to pivot the company."
The board first announced it had adopted the proposals in Holder's report on Sunday; hours afterward, the company saw another high-profile departure, as senior vice president for business Emil Michael announced his resignation.

MDC Alliance youths yesterday reportedly assaulted freelance journalist Tamuka Charakupa in Harare's dormitory town of Chitungwiza, the Media Institute of Southern Afica Zimbabwe (Misa) Zimbabwe chapter said yesterday.
According to Charakupa, he was assaulted following clashes between MDC Alliance youths and those from Zanu-PF. He said the MDC Alliance youths were part of a convoy of vehicles that roamed Chitungwiza South for most of the afternoon canvassing for votes for the party's candidate, advocate Maxwell Mavhunga.
"Four MDC Alliance youths accosted Charakupa as he took pictures of the clashes with his mobile phone. One of the youths snatched his phone. Charakupa's spectacles were also broken in the process after he received a blow to his ear," Misa said in an alert.
He reported the incident to the police and managed to identify two of his assailants following Mavhunga's assistance, resulting in their arrest. The suspects who are in custody are expected to appear in court today on charges of assault and theft.
"Misa-Zimbabwe urges supporters of political parties to desist from perpetrating violence and assaulting journalists conducting their constitutionally-protected duties of gathering and disseminating information."

'Thursday Night Football' preview: What to watch for in Chiefs-Chargers
Published: Dec 15, 2021 at 04:15 PM
Chase Goodbread
Original Content Writer
2021 · 9-4-0
8:20 p.m. ET (FOX, NFL Network, Amazon) | SoFi Stadium
Full Thursday Night Football schedule
Three days after Monday Night Football served up a prolific Week 14 NFC showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals, Thursday Night Football offers the AFC's marquee game of Week 15. The Kansas City Chiefs visit the Los Angeles Chargers in a matchup of top offenses, both averaging 27 points per game (tied for eighth in the NFL). It comes with high stakes, as the Chiefs (9-4) hold a slim one-game lead over the Chargers (8-5) in the AFC West. After losing three of their first five games, the Chiefs have won six in a row and are poised to become the conference's first 10-win team. The Chargers, meanwhile, opened the season hot, but are just 4-4 since Week 6. Are they a division-title contender, or a wild-card contender? This game will go a long way toward answering that question.
Here are four things to watch for when the Chargers play host to the Chiefs on Thursday night:
1. This matchup starts with the quarterbacks. Two of the NFL's best young passers duel in Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes and Los Angeles second-year star Justin Herbert. Mahomes' improvisational wizardry when working outside the pocket can fill a highlight reel. Herbert wows more from inside the pocket, but the two have remarkably similar numbers. Herbert has completed 338 of 504 passes; Mahomes 329 of 502. Both are nearing 4,000 yards and are within one interception of one another (Mahomes 12, Herbert 11). Different styles, similar results. If pass protection holds up on both sides, a thrilling air show is in the offing.
2. Major mismatch on third down. The Chiefs bring the best third-down offense in the NFL to SoFi Stadium, converting 52.2%, and strangely enough, they're even better on the road (57.6%). That bodes poorly for Los Angeles, which will counter with the league's worst third-down defense (49.1%). The Chargers' run defense has been pushed around this season (ranked 31st), and it's especially ugly on third-and-short: They've yielded first downs on 23 of 29 running plays on third-and-3 or less. Keeping Kansas City in third-and-longs is easier said than done, but the Los Angeles defense figures to struggle mightily if it can't.
3. Chiefs up, Kelce down. As the Chiefs began the season at 3-4, star tight end Travis Kelce was an offensive focal point, averaging 9.3 targets, 6.4 catches and 76.1 yards per game with four touchdowns. Over Kansas City's current six-game win streak, however, he's down from those totals: 7.3 targets, 4.7 catches and 57 yards per game with just one score. The team's defensive improvement has as much to do with the win streak as anything, so there's one explanation. But against Herbert and Co., this might not be the night to ask the Chiefs D to carry the load. If it's a shootout, a big night from Kelce might be imperative. His matchup with Chargers star safety Derwin James, who is enjoying his first healthy season since his All-Pro rookie year but is questionable to play with a hamstring issue, will be among the most exciting head-to-head battles on the field.
4. Chargers shuffling up front; are the Chiefs next? The rash of COVID-19 cases in the NFL has impacted two of the top linemen in the game: Los Angeles rookie left tackle Rashawn Slater, and Kansas City defensive lineman Chris Jones. Slater was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, and will miss a start for the first time this season at left tackle, yielding to backup Trey Pipkins. Jones was designated for the COVID list on Tuesday, and his status for the game remains unclear. He's been among the NFL's best interior defensive linemen this season, notching seven sacks and 14 QB hits while seeing action both inside and outside. If he also can't play, it will be as big a blow to Kansas City's defensive line as the Chargers' loss of Slater on the offensive side.

Installing package into '/usr/lib/R/site-library'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages("R.utils") :
  'lib = "/usr/lib/R/site-library"' is not writable
Error in install.packages("R.utils") : unable to install packages
Execution halted

I cant understand what is wrong why the library cant be installed and how to fix this .thank you:)

A: If you are working on a university cluster, you will likely need to ask the system's administrators to install the packages site-wide - or else configure R to install packages to a local (user) library location.
If you haven't already set up a local library, then the easiest way seems to be to execute R interactively, attempt to install a package, and follow the instructions when site-wide installation fails.
First, start R and check the current library search path:
> .libPaths()
[1] "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/site-library"
[3] "/usr/lib/R/library"

OK now let's try to install the stringr package:
> install.packages("stringr")
Installing package into '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages("stringr") :
  'lib = "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"' is not writable

(it fails, then prompts)
Would you like to use a personal library instead? (yes/No/cancel) yes
Would you like to create a personal library
'/home/steeldriver/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2' to install packages into? (yes/No/cancel) yes
also installing the dependencies 'glue', 'magrittr', 'stringi'

(after some time)
* DONE (stringr)

The downloaded source packages are in
        '/tmp/RtmpsVbbe1/downloaded_packages'
>

Now you can check that the newly-created libPath has been added:
>
> .libPaths()
[1] "/home/steeldriver/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2"
[2] "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"
[3] "/usr/lib/R/site-library"
[4] "/usr/lib/R/library"

FWIW the default user library location seems to come from a template in the /etc/R/ environment files:
$ grep R_LIBS_USER /etc/R/*
/etc/R/Renviron:R_LIBS_USER=${R_LIBS_USER:-'%U'}
/etc/R/Renviron.site:#R_LIBS_USER=${R_LIBS_USER-'~/R/@R_PLATFORM@-library/@MAJ_MIN_VERSION@'}

Once you've done that for one package, your script should run and install the rest to your new user library.

This book is the result of a 7-day "book sprint" which is a group writing strategy borrowed from computer coding where a project's conception, development and design are packed into one week's time to reach a design prototype in a short period. Along with writers Régine Debatty, Claire Evans, Pablo Garcia and Andrea Grover we developed a book that addresses recent tendencies within art practice to deploy scientific methods, processes, subjects or concerns. The book describes 40+ practices and recent works from them, alongside a framework that offers some common threads between them. Additionally, we also edited and designed a subjective timeline of intersections between art and science to indicate that this activity is more than recent.

> NSN Skills for the Future - presentation of the SME 2.0 and TeNeGEN project!
During the Danish EU Presidency decision makers within education, the social partners and project coordinatorsdiscussed how to create better skills for the future labour market. The aim of the "Skills for the Future" conference was too gather experience and present results from more than two years of work in the New Skills Network.
Registration were limited, because each of the 15 partner countries in the New Skills Network had places reserved for the network´s final conference, and also for representatives of best practice projects.
Target groups included representatives of ministries of education and labour, Members of Parliament, representatives of the European Commission, Cedefop, representatives of educational institutions, public and private organisations, project coordinators and representatives of national agencies that manage the Lifelong Learning Programme and additional stakeholders.
As part of this conference both the SME 2.0 and TeNeGEN projects were presented!


New York native Russ Flynn is a Brooklyn-based producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist. Russ actively performs, both nationally and internationally, with a number of artists including X Ambassadors, Great Good Fine Ok, Rubblebucket, Glass Elephant, Lewis Lane and Natalie York. He has also had the pleasure of working with performers as varied as Elliott Sharp, Nathan Parker Smith, Sean Lennon, Andrew D'Angelo, Bartosz Hadala, Anthony Coleman and Hafiz Shabazz.
On New York: While surely I would find some other way to pass my time if it wasn't consumed with music making let's, for the sake of drama, say 'I can't imagine what else I would do'. I come from a long line of folks who enjoy problem solving. Though most have used their talents to build, and rebuild, the physical infrastructure of New York City I've chosen, the questionably more self serving (be it far less economically gratifying), life-path of enriching the area sonically [as if it needed any help]. Over-saturated with indie-bands and pretentious bearded men New York might be, but alas my love affair with it runs far too deep for me to consider relocating. As much as I do love James Murphy's "New York I Love You" I can't say that I can even begin to relate to the notion this great city might be the source of anything short of the most positive of energies in my life.
On maintaining a meaningful work-life: I've had the good fortune to work with (and learn from) some incredible and inspiring musicians thus far and the list continues to expand. It's surrounding myself with people who's work I admire and respect that I believe drives me to do the best I can do. Studio work excites me. Live performance excites me. The fulfillment of helping an artist shape their material to make the best product they can excites me too. With that said, I think what gets me off the most about what I do is that I don't just do one thing, or work with just one artist. What I did on Tuesday informs what I do on Friday. The recording technique I learned about in a pop context may actually end up lending itself exceptionally well to the tracking of a string quartet. I love stuff like that. On the flip-side; monotony scares me, complacency scares me and retrogression [in all facets of art, politics and culture] frights the bejesus out of me.
On education: Although my formal education may be complete [and for the sake of not incurring further student-loan debt I certainly hope it is] I feel as if we should take every opportunity to learn throughout our lives. Perceived freedom from the responsibility to actively educate ourselves upon the completion of an undergraduate, graduate or even doctoral degree is to surrender to ignorance and do a disservice to humanity. A single day in a recording studio, 5 minutes on stage or an hour spent raking leaves can have the power to teach us as individuals more than any 4-year degree could possibly offer. Not to sound preachy, but I think the moment I embraced this concept I became a much happier individual with a more positive outlook on life. I believe being present, truly being present, goes a hell of a long way. It's especially challenging in this day and age but I believe it's critical.


The new draft law will allow patients to use cannabis as a last resort treatment, and will also expand scientific research on its medical benefits.
Last Thursday, Germany's lower house of parliament took a major stride towards medical cannabis legislation by passing a measure that will legalize use for chronically ill patients. The draft law states the right to use medicinal marijuana will be granted "in very limited exceptional cases" as a last resort treatment.
Conditions that will allow cannabis treatment include serious illnesses such as multiple sclerosis and chronic pain, as well as symptoms like loss of appetite and nausea. Prior to passing the new draft bill, applicable German patients had to undergo a strenuous process to gain special authorization to use any kind of medical marijuana.
While the new measure is a step in the right direction for Germany, it specifically forbids patients from growing their own marijuana at home. Instead, patients will have to obtain a prescription from doctors and have the cost refunded by their health insurance fund.
"Those who are severely ill need to get the best possible treatment and that includes health insurance funds paying for cannabis as a medicine for those who are chronically ill if they can't be effectively treated any other way," said Health Minister Hermann Groehe.
The measure was first introduced to the German Bundestag last year, and will also aim to expand research on the medical benefits of the plant. The prosperous European country has been facing an increased presence of cannabis activism over the last few years, which likely influenced parliament's recent decision to implement this limited medical marijuana system.
Germany's newly approved medical cannabis bill is expected to take effect in March 2017, pending a procedural reading by the upper house of parliament. Once implemented, they will join the ranks of Italy and the Czech Republic as European countries that have helped pioneer more expansive medical cannabis legislation.


We want you to be honest with us – do tell us how you form an opinion of someone that you have just met? We are sure that most of you go by first impressions, which include looks of the person, no doubt and also the personality of the individual. While the looks of the person you meet are easy enough to look at, evaluate and categorize, personality is another thing entirely. The personality of a person is defined by the expressions of the person, the body language of the person, the way a person compotes herself or himself and the way they behave. In this article, we will look at the last aspect, which is of the behavior of the person. We feel one of the main influences of the way a person behaves depends on the manners that a person has learned during the course of their life.
Manners are often mocked as being pretentious and superficial by many who believe that these are just pretentions adopted by the snooty few. However, many people think like this because they do not really understand the meaning of manners. Manners can be very simply defined as the set of rules (to put it loosely) that define acceptable behavior when in a social situation. This means manners are the simple guidelines that lets you know what is acceptable behavior and what is not.
In most instances, there is a bit of confusion around manners because they also have an element of the culture from which the person comes from. However, even when you discount the cultural element, manners are an essential tool to make a success of your life.
They train your mind: By knowing what is the acceptable way to behave in a certain circumstance, you can learn to train your mind. For instance, manners dictate that you need to treat people with courtesy and consideration when they visit you at your home even if you do not particularly like them. This sort of training of the mind will help you deal with difficult people in the business world and in your career.
You learn to work under stress: What if you did learn to see the flip side of negative situations in your life? Do you think that it will help? Of course it will but we are sure that you are still confused about what this has to do with good manners. Well, having a set way of behaving is ingrained in you when you are taught manners and this is something that you will find helps you postpone stress till such time that you are in a more composed manner.
Makes things civil and calm: It is a joking matter to think what if people started saying and doing what they please. The result would be a situation where people are rude and inconsiderate and there are a lot of unacceptable behavior. But if everyone exercised a modicum of good manners, we are sure that things would be civil and calm and allow for intelligent discussions.
They ensure that you are likeable: Every person who is born, wants to be liked and one of the easiest ways to do this is by being well mannered. But that is not all, your polite and considerate behavior will only be accepted and liked if you mean it. For that to happen, you have to make good manners a part of your inherent personality and behave with complete sincerity.
By now, we are sure that you too are convinced that good manners can be one of the factors to make a success out of your life – professionally and personally.

By Staff Reporter -
New General Secretary of the GFF Althea Scipio
THE long-awaited appointment of a General Secretary (GS) for the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has been finally made following extensive interviews last October for the position that became vacant after Diedri Davis was dismissed in June of last year.
In a Press release to the Media from the GFF early yesterday morning, it was disclosed that former Assistant Superintendent of Police Althea Scipio has taken up the post since January 1.
The newly appointed GS who served in the Guyana Police Force for eight years was also the Honorary Secretary of the Georgetown FA for just over a year.
The release added that Scipio during her tenure in the Police Force 'honed her management and man management skills while performing various functions in the Police Force, including forensics, community relations, media relations, security management and secretariat management'.
'Ms Scipio will now play a pivotal role in the ongoing restructuring process of the GFF's Secretariat, which has been embarked on by the Executive Committee, and, ultimately, the football fraternity as a whole. She will have the critical task of spearheading the successful and timely implementation of the Committee's vision', the release concluded.
Prior to the appointment of the new GS there were two acting GSs in former assistant GS, Merson Jones who later resigned and was succeeded by Trevor King.
In her brief comments, the new head of the GFF's Secretariat told Chronicle Sport: "I am delighted to be part of the Guyana Football Federation and look forward to aiding the restructuring process that has been initiated. I expect challenges but am duly prepared for them."

Philosophy, on Education
Album Review: Ryan Brewer's "Trails"
If I had to pick one word to describe Ryan Brewer's music on his album Trails it would be "certainty."
It is that all at once he is so certain about what he has to say and how he is going to say it, while simultaneously expressing bouts of uncertainty. If you are reading this, I hope my review will encourage you to try his music out–it moves you intellectually, emotionally, and physically. The following are my thoughts on what I am certain is a collection of fantastic music.
Summary Overview:
Ryan Brewer has a brevity about him that is precisely complemented by his musicianship. His higher-ranged voice that can calm you or rock out belts out very honest lyrics that are backed up by very deliberate guitar and piano playing. If you pay no attention at all to the lyrics, you will find some of the tracks making you dance. The hidden gem is that he is saying a lot of brutally honest things most of us wouldn't say. He even addresses that point, as well.
There is so much certainty in this album. Ryan is not afraid to toss aside the filter and get down to the point he is trying to make. If you are looking for someone to say the things you thought would get you into trouble (if you said them), boy is this music for you! Are you dwelling on the operations of the world and personal relationships, inter- or intra-? Like cold water to the face, Ryan presents these situations to rejuvenate your attention and mind.
1. Two Cents
About realizing how one thinks the world works and exists as being completely incorrect, Ryan presents you with a preface for what is to come. "Confirming" on your own how everything is supposed to work is not a concrete plan. With just piano and a lovely voice that twists disdain into pain, he gives you the, "You know what? Let's talk about this," preparation for the rest of the album.
2. What Are You Mad About?
"She spends her money to get that loose/liquor type of love." With harmonies galore, listen to Ryan call a spade a spade.
3. What You Think
Ryan is great at writing catchy hooks with such an enjoyable rustic/Americana/back-woods-but-is-a-city-boy flavor. For me this song is about all of those great connections you feel toward someone; the romanticization, the cute idiosyncrasies, the sex, the joy–EXCEPT not wanting anything serious. There can be a great, deep, passionate affinity toward someone, but serious relationships have to be mutual.
4. Numbers and Names
This has been on non-stop repeat, for me. Something about iv I6 IV progressions will always soothe my singer-songwriter bones. Ryan slow dances through those chords, discussing doubt and hesitation, nostalgic reflection, only to make a quick turn, musically and intellectually. With his Americana/acoustic IV7 and vocal "ooh" backings he turns the song into an anthemic proclamation:
"What about love? What about tenderness? What about the faces and these places on our list? What about peace? What about liberty?"
Pull out your flag, your lighter, and your opinions for this one, folks. Let it prompt you to reevaluate what is important to you. Also, Ryan has a falsetto–it is pretty.
5. Burned and Blinded
Sometimes the only way to say (out loud, specifically) that things are not going well for you (without breaking down) is to say it with a smile. This song is that forced musical-smile.
It is FUN music! Ryan's Midwest roots come out here with back porch, foot-stompin' guitar playin'! But Ryan has no back porch. Ryan is not a foot stomper. The music is intentionally ironic and sarcastic behind the lyrics. If your heart is broken, say so. But say it with a smile. Your feelings might morph themselves into happier, clearer, thinking-ahead ones.
6. Truth Is
MmmMmm a capella! (+ some small percussion…)
Ryan shows his musical prowess here. Singing every part, so beautifully and accurately, he makes it catchy. He makes it very catchy. Lyrically, however, he is trying to one-up his musical prowess! How his songs haven't gotten him into relationship troubles (and perhaps they have…) I do not understand!
This is a captivating performance. Lamenting about extinguished love, with such certainty in his feelings, one can connect to this song immediately. Be it by means of lyrical relation, or musical stimulation, one will find empathy in this tune.
I also have no problem going on record saying that at 2:30 in the song, building up to the song's climax, when Ryan sings, "…acting as though it is all well and fine…" his voice his sexy. I said it.
7. Glad I Know
"I remember when you said nose rings were trashy." By now in the album with an opening line like that, you can tell where Ryan's intentions lay. With a comfortable foot-tapping (not *stompin'!) acoustic guitar walk, Ryan gives a, let's say "thoughtful", farewell to a wrongdoer.
I believe it is important not to have regrets. When you think about relationships, or acquaintances, you should not have any regrets or regrettable people. But, that doesn't mean some of them won't have turned out to be total wankers. This might be my favorite "middle finger" song.
8. Pretty Girls Everywhere
I think that the album is emotionally anchored around this song. Ryan's longest song, it sort of mirrors perhaps a long journey he had been on to learn about himself. Can't we all relate?
Over the course of Ryan's career, going on multiple tours, as a musician playing most nights, he would have had time to compartmentalize tons of emotions, tons of questions. What is life? What is waiting for me back home? How do I feel about myself? Etc.
And it's so easy as a listener to ask these questions because he is already incredibly honest in his music.
Openly talking about self-doubt, and publicly self-criticizing one's perceived faults is not in the equation for creating high record sales. But Ryan is not about *record sales. He is an advocate for integrity, a supporter of love, and a musician who has something powerful to say.
*Though, do buy his album.
9. Tear The World Apart
Here is where we chronologically confirm through the album that one can establish confidence. Every song leading up to this one has stories of doubt and separation. We hear Ryan's self-acceptance (not that he didn't have it to begin with, but the musical timeline is there).
Of love and happiness, and a slowly building musical backdrop, you can hear the rumblings towards the gated doors.
"Kick them down and seize the day!" I hear at the end of the song.
Need to be reminded that you have confidence in yourself? Take this tune and call me in the morning.
10. All Ears
The final track is Ryan's own summary. "This is who I am. Here are my issues. Dammit, let's fix them."
"I'm man enough to know I'm not ready to be grown. I've still got dreams of never getting old."
With a laid back and awesome bridge that still has high intensity, Ryan finally arrives at the point, "I'm all ears." He is. We know he is "all ears." How could one be so articulately aware of their feelings and surroundings, write this type of beautiful and shockingly honest music, and not be "all ears?"
Ryan Brewer is an articulate, poetic, talented musician. This album Trails is a collection of the types of self-realizations and innermost feelings a lot of people don't want to share. His music is fun, intriguing, honest, and certain. He may sing about doubt, but there is no doubt in his execution.
I thoroughly enjoy this album and hope that everyone else will enjoy it. You can preorder Trails here (July 26 release date) and attend the album release show at the Speak Easy in Indianapolis.

Zuma maintains grip as South African rebellion fizzles out
By Mike Cohen*
South African President Jacob Zuma visits the headquarters of Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. at Megawatt Park in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Friday, May 6, 2016. Zuma seemed in danger of being ousted two months ago after the nation's highest court ruled he failed to uphold the constitution, but now he appears as powerful as ever.

South African President Jacob Zuma seemed in danger of being ousted two months ago after the nation's highest court ruled he failed to uphold the constitution. Now he appears as powerful as ever, tightening his grip on the ruling African National Congress as a campaign to oust him falters.
"After the court ruling, Zuma was standing on shaky ground," said Sakhile Hadebe, a politics lecturer at University of KwaZulu-Natal, said by phone from the eastern town of Pietermaritzburg. "The pressure has slowly vanished. He's dodged the bullets."
Controversy has dogged Zuma's political career. A polygamist with four wives and more than 20 children, he was acquitted of rape charges in 2006, and became president in May 2009, just weeks after prosecutors dropped graft charges against him. In December, he sparked a selloff of the rand and the nation's bonds when he fired his respected finance minister, Nhlanhla Nene. In March, senior ANC officials said Zuma's friends, the Gupta family, offered them cabinet posts in exchange for business concessions.
Zuma has denied any wrongdoing, while the ANC has rallied to his defense, saying the party needs to unite to fend off an opposition challenge to its hold over urban areas including Pretoria, the capital, and Johannesburg, the nation's commercial center, in local elections on Aug. 3.
The People's Assembly, an alliance of 75 civil rights organizations, unions and church groups campaigning for Zuma to resign or be fired, attracted only a few thousand people to marches in Johannesburg and Cape Town on April 27 and it has since resorted to an internet campaign to drum up support.
Zuma's power stems from his command of the ANC, which he's led since 2007. His allies control almost all key ANC structures in the nine provinces and he's secured the loyalty of most members of the party's decision-making National Executive Committee by directly appointing them to government posts. Zuma's time as ANC leader ends in late 2017 and his second and final term as president in 2019.
The NEC decided at a three-day meeting that ended Monday that Zuma should retain office despite the Constitutional Court's ruling that he violated the law by failing to abide by graft ombudsman Thuli Madonsela's directive to repay state funds spent on his private home, party Secretary-General Gwede Mantashe said.
"The NEC has called on all members of the ANC to close ranks and dedicate themselves to working for an overwhelming victory of the ANC in the local government elections," Mantashe told reporters in Johannesburg on Tuesday. "Everything else must be subordinate to elections work."
After initially calling on Zuma "to do the right thing" following the Constitutional Court ruling, the ANC in the central Gauteng province, which includes Pretoria and Johannesburg, backtracked last month and accepted his apology "for the frustration and confusion" the home-spending scandal caused.
Willies Mchunu, a close Zuma ally, was named premier of KwaZulu-Natal in place of Senzo Mchunu last week, cementing the president's hold over his home province, which has the biggest concentration of ANC members.
Opposition party efforts to oust Zuma have failed.
An attempt by the Democratic Alliance, the main opposition party to have him impeached on April 6 was quashed by the ANC, which holds 62 percent of the seats in parliament. Lawmakers from the Economic Freedom Fighters, the second-largest opposition party, were forcibly evicted from the National Assembly on May 4 by security personnel when they tried to stop Zuma from speaking.
State prosecutors have stalled a bid by the DA to force them to reinstate the 783 graft charges against Zuma that were dropped in 2009. While the High Court ruled April 29 that the decision to abandon the case was wrong, the National Prosecuting Authority plans to appeal — a process that could take several months.
Those who have called on Zuma to go include former finance minister Trevor Manuel, Ben Turok, who once headed the ANC's ethics committee, Cheryl Carolus, the ANC's ex-deputy secretary-general who has served as South Africa's high commissioner to London, and Christo Wiese, South Africa's richest man. The calls come as Zuma's administration struggles to reignite an economy expanding at its slowest pace since the 2009 recession and avoid a credit downgrade to junk.
The ANC may reassess whether to retain Zuma should it perform poorly in the elections, according to Pierre du Toit, a politics professor at the University of Stellenbosch, near Cape Town.
"For now Zuma has got the momentum on his side," Du Toit said by phone. "If they consider him to be a liability, they will have to figure out some kind of face-saving exit strategy."

Q: Table view data sources running twice, scope issue I have a UITableView where numberOfSectionsInTableView and numberOfRowsInSection are being called twice, with scope issues on the second run.  If I mask the problem, I get a scope issue on the first run of cellForRowAtIndexPath.
Most data all comes from an NSDictionary which is configured during viewDidLoad.  I also have an NSArray configured at the same time.  Once set they are never changed nor released.
When numberOfSectionsInTableView is called the first time, it's fine.  Counts the elements as needed etc.  It's then immediately called a second time (no idea why).  On the second run, it cannot access the NSDictionary or NSArray items.  Crash even when trying to NSLog them.  For example:
NSLog(@"theMainDictionary %@",theMainDictionary);

usually results in EXC_BAD_ADDRESS but occasionally something like this:
theMainDictionary <_UITableViewSeparatorView: 0x4e73680; frame = (0 307; 320 1); opaque = NO; autoresize = W; layer = <CALayer: 0x4e4bf20>>

Again, this same line runs fine (logging the dictionary as expected) the first run through.
If I mask the problem by returning a fixed NSInteger, numberOfRowsInSection then does the same thing.  If I mask numberOfRowsInSection, cellForRowAtIndexPath crashes on the first run.  Same issue though - can't access theMainDictionary or the related NSArray.
I can't figure out why they're running twice - there's no reloadData anywhere.  Nor do I know why the second call runs any differently.  Any assistance greatly appreciated.

A: You're probably creating your dictionary with [NSDictionary dictionary] or one of the several similar factory methods (which returns an autoreleased instance), and then saving it directly to an ivar without retaining it. It will work fine until your program gets back to the main run loop, at which time the autorelease will resolve and the object gets freed.
There are a few ways to fix it:

*

*Assign to a property declared retain rather than an ivar. This means self.theMainDictionary rather than just theMainDictionary. This will retain it for you, so it will stick around until you release it (or assign a different dictionary or nil to the property).

*Use [[NSDictionary alloc] init] (or one of the many other init methods) rather than [NSDictionary dictionary] style. This returns an instance that you own, so it will stick around until you release it.

*Explicitly call retain on the dictionary when saving it to the ivar. This takes ownership, so it will stick around until you release it.

In all cases, do remember to release the dictionary in your dealloc method, or the memory will leak.
All of the above probably applies to the array too. See Apple's documentation for a much more detailed explanation of memory management in Cocoa.


Stand2Learn, a faculty-led company founded by Mark Benden, PhD, CPE, has been acquired by Varidesk, a Dallas-area manufacturer of active office products.
Benden is head of the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health at the Texas A&M School of Public Health and serves as director of the Ergonomics Center.
Stand2Learn was founded in 2012 and had achieved profitable year-over-year growth, averaging more than 100 percent annually under Benden's leadership. More than 100,000 children use his desks in all 50 states and 13 countries.
Research conducted by Benden and his team that led to the creation and commercialization of the student desk designs was funded in part by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
"Our research found improvements in cognition, calorie expenditure, BMI trajectories and classroom management that gave this project fuel to impact child health and development through the classroom experience," Benden said.
Texas A&M Technology Commercialization has licensed seven inventions Benden developed to four companies since he joined the School of Public Health faculty in 2008, and he was recently recognized with the Texas A&M Innovation Award.
With a career spanning 25 years in occupational safety and ergonomics, Benden has produced multiple processes, tools and devices to ease injury and illness risk. Many of these devices are active projects protected by 21 United States patents with multiple patents pending. Sales of items with his patent numbers have totaled more than $500 million, and the expected lifetime economic impact of his designs exceeds $2 billion.


1) You can use the slip clutch built into your drill-driver, which allows an on-off-on-off application of power that will gradually advance the screw you're driving.
By setting the slip clutch on your drill to a setting that won't drive a screwhead under the surface of the wood you can "slip up " on how deep the screw goes by continuing to apply power.
2) There is no substitute for real impact action. An air-driven impact wrench can be used just like a battery-powered impact, just not as conveniently. And, you have to select the right impact wrench. For example, a big, ½-inch-drive model will power any lag bolt through any piece of wood, and split the wood in two, if you wanted it to!
Until Hurricane Katrina's flood came, I had all of the auto mechanic tools from a previous career. A 1/2-inch drive Chicago Pneumatic had served me well over four decades. After mine drowned, my dear friend Karl gave me this Central Pneumatic. For driving these 7/16″ bolts attaching the horizontal component of this handrail to the pilings, the big ½" drive air gun was the cat's meow. Sorry. We veterinarians talk like that.
This ratcheting impact gives you considerably more control, and you can advance a threaded fastener manually anywhere along its path, say, if you needed to assess the amount of compression or resistance while deciding how much further to go. Not too fast, but very flexible. This was also a post-Katrina gift from friend Karl.
In the 1960s I bought the handiest little air-driven impact I always called a "Rodac." With only a 3/8″ drive, it didn't have a lot of power, but it was fast and had a lot of control with the speed varied by how far one presses down the paddle on the top. I never replaced it, but was glad to see they are still available.
When I say the Rodac was fast, here's an example: For access to hidden bolts, socket manufacturers make a universal-joint device. I was forever putting a socket on the U-joint and the U-joint on the Rodac, hitting the paddle actuator only to have the nut I was removing come off easier than I expected. That left the U-joint to flop in the air, sling the nut clear across the shop and the U-joint into my fingers before I could get my hand off the paddle. It was fast.
If you need an air-driven impact for a small job, install a quick-disconnect onto your portable air tank, commonly used for refilling flat and under-inflated tires. Sometimes this is faster than rolling out a long air hose and waiting for the compressor to complete a cycle.
You sure have a good friend there! Hats off to you Karl!
Thanks for the comment, Bob. I hadn't seen Karl for a while; our too-hectic lives have taken us in different directions. I sent him a text message saying I think of him often and treasure his friendship, and he wrote me back, "Cool, me, too! You made my day." Funny how such a little gesture can be so impactful. Thanks for reading, Bob.


This brings me to another topic. I've mentioned "things that I'm learning" a few times in the past. I feel like I'm constantly growing and learning new things about myself or the world around me. Sometimes they're monumental like my discovery about self-guilt. Sometimes they're a little more trivial, like it's best for me to do all of the laundry at one time. I really want to try to discuss these discoveries with you guys, even though sometimes they're hard to put into words. Therefore, I'm creating a new category here on the blog for "What I've Learned." Again, you may find life-changing, amazing things here. Or it may be just that I realized that I only like carrots if they're cooked. I think paying attention to both the large and small discoveries in life is monumental to your personal growth. Writing about my own discoveries helps me to process them. If you learn anything new about yourself, I hope you'll share along the way too!
After wrapping up the laundry that Saturday, Matthew and I went to hear Code Blue and the Flatliners at Landry's Vineyard. (They are a group of musical doctors which makes their name so hilarious to me! They're also very entertaining. We seldom miss their performances at Landry's.) I felt so lucky that Matthew and I both happened to have that Saturday off. For a couple that works as much as we do, this was something to celebrate in itself. We had a great time at the vineyard and look forward to the next event. You can find the concert schedule on their website, and we'd love to see you there!
This Saturday, I'm looking forward to the ULM Homecoming game. Matthew and I are season ticket holders which makes me feel like such a grown up. What do you usually do when you have Saturdays off? If I keep up this streak of having time off, I might need some suggestions!

How could Nautilus Minerals get a social licence to operate the world's first deep sea mine?
Filer, Colin, and Gabriel, Jennifer (2018) How could Nautilus Minerals get a social licence to operate the world's first deep sea mine? Marine Policy, 95. pp. 394-400.

It is now twenty years since people began to debate the question of how mining companies could show that they possessed a 'social licence' for industrial activities that are known to have significant environmental and social costs. Amongst those who believe that the concept has some significance beyond the realm of corporate propaganda, there has been a growing tendency to treat it as something that has to be obtained from local communities who bear most of these costs, and therefore have to be convinced that the costs are outweighed by the benefits. This paper shows how this definition poses a particular problem for the operators of deep sea mining projects because of the uncertainties that surround the definition of the community from whom the licence needs to be obtained. It also shows how different actors, including corporate actors, have tried to shape the 'negotiation space' in which to debate the presence or absence of a social licence for the world's first deep sea mine in Papua New Guinea.
