Movies That Ruined My Childhood
Coming Soon Trailers: Split, The Founder, XXX 3.
January 20, 2017 Neil Worcester Posts 0
Or burger and fries flicks. You get the point.
There's something for everyone this week at the theater, plus a few tantalizing VOD picks.
If you were a studio trying to get eyeballs on your film, this may be your last window to do so. Next week the Oscars drop their nominations, which will drive attention to those films that have been slowly cranking up their screen counts in advance of the big show. Once February hits, we've got our first wave of triple A movies. Between those two forces, late January is the perfect time to slot a movie that may have lesser name recognition or one that is just plain popcorn flicks.
To maximize opportunity, we see four very different wide releases coming out this week. Vin Diesel returns as Xander Cage in the XXX franchise, a testosterone and Mt. Dew fueled action flick. M. Night Shyamalan is back with a psychological thriller starring James McAvoy titled Split. There is a "come to Jesus" flick in the mix, and finally Michael Keaton in a dramatic biopic about the founder of McDonald's.
Wide Releases.
Split.
A man with 23 personalities kidnaps three teenagers. Three of his personalities believe in a monster called the beast, a 24th personality that could manifest if the girls are sacrificed to it. Casey, a misfit abuse survivor, tries to turn his personalities against each other in order to escape before the beast arrives.
[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAN_lkPEg4M[/embedyt]
See It?: Yes.
This film made our top ten anticipated movies of 2017 with good reason. It looks stylish and scary, and features some really nice performances from Anya Taylor-Joy and James McAvoy. This could be a nice return to form for M. Night Shyamalan.
XXX: The Return of Xander Cage.
Hiding after faking his own death, secret agent and extreme athlete Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) decides to come back to the agency when he learns about the plans of a ruthless crew of killers to use a doomsday weapon.
[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEuM4IUFWu8[/embedyt]
See It?: Rent It.
Check the freshness date on this snack. It could be mindless fun, but the material and execution feels dated. Do people even watch the X Games anymore? This one is for a very specific audience, and if you feel the need to catch up with Xander Cage, do yourself a favor and rent it instead.
The Resurrection of Gavin Stone.
A hard-partying former child star gets sentenced to community service at a local church. Instead of scrubbing toilets, he tries to con the pastor into letting him play Jesus for the church's big play. The con means he's going to have to pretend to be Christian, and as he "studies" his role, he begins to change his worldview.
[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqfkImWycqQ[/embedyt]
See It?: Skip It.
This is a pretty standard impostor who becomes what he's faking schtick. You could put Hallmark greeting cards out of business just writing down all the hokey cliches and motivational clap trap from this trailer. I though we'd weathered the storm of crappy faith based movies last year, but apparently 2017 is happy to keep churning them out.
The Founder.
The dramatic biopic of Ray Kroc, an enterprising but morally dubious salesman who discovered the McDonald's restaurant and decided to build it into an empire, often against the will of the brother's who owned it.
[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX2uz2XYkbo[/embedyt]
Michael Keaton could be having a big 2017. Add this meaty biopic to his upcoming roles in Spider-Man Homecoming and American Assassin, and you have three compelling films to hold us over until Beetlejuice 2 arrives (or doesn't, you can never tell with that project…)
Detour.
A straight-laced man with a troubled home life befriends two unsavory characters at a strip club, and ends up losing himself in a world of thrills, violence, and crime. When they turn on him, they belatedly realize that he has gone from saint to sinner very effectively.
[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5rTEM-kkbk[/embedyt]
See It?: Wait for a Sale.
There's a decent kernel of interesting cinema here, though it's somewhat obscured by the cult of wallowing in wanton chaos. I like the split screen angle they work in the trailer and wonder if or how it will stand up in the full film.
My Father Die.
A deaf and mute man has spent the last 20 years preparing himself to kill a man. The target killed his beloved older brother, and is just about to be released from prison for the crime. The wrinkle is that the man is his father.
[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DApkxTUkQbk[/embedyt]
There's almost enough in the trailer's sober second half to make me overlook that pulpy violence fest of the first half, but not quite. Go watch 1999's Bangkok Dangerous instead if you want to see a story about a deaf mute who kills a bunch of people.

Promoting the growth of tennis in communities of color.
Tennis legend getting his due
Posted on February 29, 2016 by Larry Bivins
Robert W. (Bobby) Johnson III is delighted by all the recent recognition of his grandfather's contributions to the tennis world, but there is one distinction he would like to see buried: "the godfather of black tennis."
For Bobby, that tagline is misleading and too confining for the legendary R. Walter Johnson, famously known as "Whirlwind" by the public and affectionately called "Dr. J." by those under his tutelage.
Yet, the description is frequently used, perhaps first derived from the biography titled "Whirlwind, the Godfather of Black Tennis." by former USA Today writer Doug Smith.
"He wasn't that narrow-minded," scoffs Bobby Johnson, oldest of Johnson's three grandsons, who is writing his own book on his grandfather's legacy. "He was not about black tennis. He was about integrating the sport."
Indeed, R. Walter (Whirlwind) Johnson is credited as much as anyone for helping to break the color barriers in tennis, first guiding Althea Gibson and later Arthur Ashe, who were the first African Americans of their respective gender to win grand slam tennis championships.
In 2009, Dr. Johnson, who died in 1971, was inducted posthumously into the International Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum. He also was among the first batch of inductees into the Black Tennis Hall of Fame established a year earlier.
Whirlwind's role in promoting tennis among blacks and helping to desegregate the sport was highlighted in a recent Tennis Channel tribute to Black History Month.
A video with narration by Johnson's youngest grandson, Lange Johnson, told how the doctor was a "game changer" as a trainer, mentor and coach to scores of young African-Americans whom he recruited to hone their tennis skills on the clay court at his Lynchburg, Va., home.
The home, placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, and the court have suffered from lack of maintenance, and Dr. Johnson's grandchildren have established the Whirlwind Johnson Foundation to raise money to refurbish the property.
That effort has brought renewed attention to Dr. Johnson, who was nicknamed "Whirlwind" for his dervish style as an All-American running back at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania.
Dr. Johnson was in his 30s when he took up tennis. Admittedly mediocre as a singles player, he became a top-notch doubles specialist, winning seven mixed doubles titles with Althea Gibson at the national tournaments sponsored by the American Tennis Association, the black rival to the U.S. Lawn and Tennis Association (forerunner of the USTA).
As founder of the ATA's Junior Development Program, Dr. Johnson opened his home and his wallet to scores of young black tennis players who would train on his court and eat at his table during the summers. His camp also was open to whites.
In 1946, Dr. Johnson and North Carolina physician Hubert Eaton, attended an ATA championship match between Gibson and Roumania Peters with the notion Gibson could be the player to fulfill their mission of tearing down the racial wall in tennis.
While Gibson lost that match, she won the support of the two doctors. They trained and groomed her to be the champion she became. She won the French Open in 1956, and both the U.S. Open and Wimbledon in 1957 and 1958. Ashe later became the first and only black male to win a grand slam title, with U.S. Open, Australian Open and Wimbledon championships.
Among the more than 200 young tennis players who trained at Dr. Johnson's tennis academy was Bob Davis, founder of the Black Tennis History Museum.
"He was a no-nonsense kind of dude," Davis says of Dr. Johnson. "There was a lot of tennis, a lot of instruction and a lot of chores."
Davis says Dr. Johnson should be remembered not just for his influence on Gibson and Ashe but also for the impact he had on scores of others who did not reach the same heights.
"What Doc did was very special," Davis says. "So many have attributed their personal success, including me, to having had that experience," Davis says. "He put his career up as a fundraiser for the Junior Development Program."
Bobby Johnson, who played at Howard University and is now a teaching pro in Silver Spring, Md., recalls spending summers at his grandfather's camp and traveling up and down the East Coast to play in weekend tournaments.
"When I was a little kid, Oh, my God!, I loved the ATA," Bobby says, reflecting on the trips to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York for weekend tournaments. "Want to talk about good tennis, we saw some of the best tennis in the world."
Robert W. (Bobby) Johnson III shown with some of Whirlwind's and one of the photo albums in his collection. The dining room table is the same one where Dr. Johnson shared meals with his tennis proteges, including Althea Gibson and Arthur Ashe.
Bobby, 57, says the book he is working on is as much about promoting and preserving his grandfather's legacy history as setting the record straight.
"I'm not trying to make any money off of it," he says. "I just want my grandfather's story to be told, and told correctly."

Awesome read!
Donald Washington says:
Great history lesson, very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Phil HArvin says:
Bobby was my High School tennis coach.
I had no idea of the history behind his family. This is a great read and another fine job to bring this to the forefront.
Larry Bivins says:
Thanks for reading, Phil. And thanks for your comment. Bobby was one of the first pros I worked with at AHC. Small world, right! Please share with your tennis-loving friends. 🙂

I'm seeing a lot of errors regarding the use of functions before they're declared. Generally, it's better to write out proper function declarations rather than use function expressions as you are. Also, if you're going to use let and const, make sure you're declaring those values before they're used. That may be difficult to do since your functions tend to reference global variables, so you may have to switch your variable declarations to var (excluding the iterator in your for loop, keep that as-is).
Completely commenting out the following code seems to work.
This will break when you try to select a player though.
Yeah it works once I moved things around. I was just confused why it would work locally but not on codepen.
Hard to say for sure without knowing more about your local environment. If you're using some sort of transpiler, that could be what makes it work.


remote: warning: There are too many unreachable loose objects; run 'git prune' to remove them.
We don't currently run git prune or git gc automatically since it has never caused issues before, but should probably start running git gc on working copies every so often.
One possible issue with this is that git gc can take a very long time to complete on large working copies. Previously, in PHI386, an unusually large repository for the same instance took about 5 hours to git gc. However, it took less than a minute to git prune, so maybe git prune is more safe to run regularly.
A possible workaround is to run these operations as part of bin/remote optimize, or some similar workflow, in the cluster, only.
Previously, in PHI386, an unusually large repository for the same instance took about 5 hours to git gc.
Is that possibly just because git gc had not been run recently before, and regular executions wouldn't accumulate so much badness?
If git prune was run after I'd be wary of the prior git gc being the reason for the speediness.
That's a reasonable point. The details of PHI386 weren't very indicative one way or another since I didn't end up GC'ing the repository multiple times. I suppose I can go GC it again during the deployment window this week and see how long it takes.
PHI860 is a close variant of this and discusses periodically running git repack. Most concerns around git repack are likely similar to concerns around gc and prune.
When a clustered repository node is repacking, collecting, or pruning, it may make sense for it to mark itself as "lower priority" for reads and writes. See also T10884. This would let it stay in the cluster, but shed most traffic until the operation completes.


In honor of Open Access week, Digital Publishing would like to share with you three movies related to Open Access and copyright issues: RIP: A Remix Manifesto, The Internet's Own Boy, and Copyright Criminals.
A film by web activist Brett Gaylor and musician Greg Gillis, aka Girl Talk. This is a compelling and fun movie about the history of copyright and its implications on creativity. It draws upon the work of Girl Talk, and the filmmaker himself, as some of the examples of the complexities surrounding copyright law in regards to sampling music, film, etc., and using other artists creativity as a stepping stone for their own work.
The Internet's Own Boy follows the story of programming prodigy and information activist Aaron Swartz. From Swartz's help in the development of the basic internet protocol RSS to his co-founding of Reddit, his fingerprints are all over the internet. But it was Swartz's groundbreaking work in social justice and political organizing combined with his aggressive approach to information access that ensnared him in a two-year legal nightmare. It was a battle that ended with the taking of his own life at the age of 26. Aaron's story touched a nerve with people far beyond the online communities in which he was a celebrity.
A legal battle spanning two world wars, 8 track to mp3 players is finally over. Warner/Chappel's lucrative ($2 million a year!) copyright ownership claim is struck down in court.
Warner/Chappel will no longer be able to charge royalties to filmmakers, artists, and many other for profit ventures for using the classic Happy Birthday song. Judge King ruled that the original copyright of the song covered only the piano arrangement and not the entirety of the song. This ends a decades long legal battle between Warner/Chappel and independent filmmakers and artists.
Until now, Warner has asked for royalties from anyone who wanted to sing or play "Happy Birthday to You" — with the lyrics — as part of a profit-making enterprise. Royalties were most often collected from stage productions, television shows, movies or greeting cards. But even those who wanted to sing the song publicly as part of a business, say a restaurant owner giving out free birthday cake to patrons, technically had to pay to use the song, prompting creative renditions at chain eateries trying to avoid paying royalties.
Did you know that there are many ways to find free music and sounds effects licensed for re-use online? This recent blog post from Free Technology for Teachers shares some such sites. These tools are helpful in many ways, including using sound files for various multimedia projects, such as videos that include music. The article specifically mentions that a student's video project would be more effective with the use of music. Teachers might find these sites useful to explain copyright issues to students in regards to stealing music, etc. from the web, by showing them what music is actually in the public domain and has a Creative Commons License. Of course, these sites might also benefit teachers for their own projects, as well.
Free Music Archive: This is a great site that hosts a wide range of music genres in a high quality format, free of charge.
Sound Bible: This site is an excellent source for various sound effects, such as: dog barks, city sounds, wind sounds, etc.
SoundGator: This is also a great site for various sound effects, sound bites and sound clips that are in the public domain with a Creative Commons License.
One of the most intriguing cases of fair use for me is street artist Shepard Fairey's 2009 court case. Fairey, known primarily for being the artist behind OBEY GIANT, battled in court from 2009 to 2012 with the Associated Press and photographer Mannie Garcia over his transformation of the photograph used to create his Obama Hope print. Fairey ultimately won in court on the issue of fair use but lost on the issue of perjury, as he initially lied about which photo he used as inspiration for his work.
What do you think? Does Fairey's work fall under the terms of fair use or does he owe royalty money to the Associated Press and Mannie Garcia? For more of his thoughts on the case, take a look at Fairey's article here.
Beginning this week, I along with three of my colleagues will participate in an online workshop held at Duke University and hosted by Kevin Smith (M.L.S., J.D.), Lisa A. Macklin (J.D., M.L.S.), and Anne Gilliland (J.D., M.L.S.).
Over the next four weeks, we will learn about how the history, purpose, and structure of U.S. copyright law is relevant to educators and librarians. For more more information on this course, please visit the course's website.
This week, a prominent journal in anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, has gone open access. Cultural Anthropology is a peer-reviewed academic journal, which covers issues related to theory, research, public dissemination, and ethnography across a variety of perspectives in the field of anthropology. The journal going open access means that it has become freely available to the public without any cost associated. This status will allow for new opportunities in scholarship, communication, and dialogue to occur. The open access movement has arisen in part in protest to the privatization of intellectual work. For more about this development, please click here.
The tweet/blog 'osphere has been buzzing in recent days about the resignation of the entire editorial board of the Journal of Library Administration. Board members had requested that publisher Taylor & Francis be more aligned with current Library and Information Studies professionals' expectations with respect to author licensing agreements. Taylor & Francis offered a less restrictive license in exchange for what would amount to an author-paid $2995 article publication fee. The board found this unacceptable and resigned.

OnePlus started as an Oppo offshoot, eventually becoming its own recognizable brand in Western Europe and the United States. Its co-founder and CEO Pete Lau has now become a Senior Vice President at OPLUS – a mysterious company that oversees OnePlus, Oppo, and Realme.
Pete Lau with OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren
In a statement to Android Authority, an OnePlus spokesperson confirmed Lau will remain CEO at OnePlus, but in the same time "he has also taken on the role of SVP and chief product experience officer for OPLUS".
His new role is announced just days after Realme unveiled its ambitious plans for European expansion and it seems like Lau's job will be to make sure the three companies are not competing against each other in the same price categories. Currently, the Oppo Find X2 Pro and OnePlus 8 Pro flagships have similar specs and price tags in countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, and France.
Pete Lau (middle), speaking at CES 2020 in Las Vegas, January 2020
OPLUS is an organization that oversees three of the smartphone brands that are owned by BBK Electronics. However, vivo, another name owned by the Chinese conglomerate, is not part of Lau's company, and he insists that "OPLUS has nothing to do with BBK". However, these are all private companies and it's hard to verify such claims. The three companies are all claiming they are perfectly independent, despite clear evidence on extensive R&D collaboration.

Rich Reviewz will be back in swing… in 2015.
First of all, if you're (still) reading this, thank you for being patient during the silence over the past year in which I've only done a few reviews – probably not even enough to qualify as a 'handful'. I've thought about this site a lot when listening to new albums or after going to gigs (I've been to a fair lot this year, even more than usual), but I can never seem to gather any energy or willpower enough to sit down and type my thoughts. It's frustrating when you're in that slump because all your time feels wasted and you only have yourself to blame… which I guess is true.
This isn't a post for sympathy – at least not consciously – but understanding is something I greatly appreciate with anyone who knows me or follows this blog. I'll never bring my personal business in this, I just wouldn't feel comfortable about exposing myself on this sort of platform (an open blog or a personal music reviewing site), but when some people get in contact about me doing stuff for them, I can sense the impatience at times and the personal reasons for why I've gone quiet is stuff I don't really want to use as an 'excuse'. It's much easier for me to just avoid emails and messages until I feel ready to talk, and even then, my reply might be minimal.
The main reason for this (and I feel stupid for opening up about it) is that I'm currently very depressed, and have been for the past year. I've always had bouts of depression since my mid-teens, but the last year has been a new level (or hole) for me. I'm not going to go into details, but a lot of the time it is extremely hard to motivate yourself to get through a day, let alone "the rest of your life". Seeing any good in anything isn't an option; seeing any worth in yourself or other people is something that does not exist. A lot of the time it's easier to try to nullify hopes and life with sleep, alcohol, isolation, etc. That's just how it is.
I'm still battling with that, but I'm tired of feeling tired, and lately I've been thinking of things I'd like to do with the blog, to make it a more hands-on thing for my love of music. That said, I can guarantee that there will be no reviews (bar one, for another site) up here before the end of the year. HOWEVER: there will be end of the year lists – some of which I've already started! So even though you might not have been in the loop with what I've been digging this year, you will find out! Granted, disappointments won't be in there, but they don't need the attention that some of the overlooked blinders of the year deserve, and I think there's quite a few.
So yeah, Rich Reviewz will formally be back in action next year. In the meantime, I'll be working on my plans for the site that I'm hoping will happen, because I think they're pretty interesting ideas (can you hear my ego growing?). I'm sorry to anyone who has sent stuff for submission – even though I did sorta of warn about this – because I've simply not checked the email for months. If you have a release next year, I'm interested, please let me know!
In the meantime, look after yourselves and enjoy the chilly ending of 2014.


I am making the move to Rifle, CO from Detroit, MI. I had a couple questions on somethings. Apartments and Prices and where to look. Should I rent a house compared to a Apart. Cell phones and good services I should look into before coming out. How are the over all people in Rifle? Parachute, New Castle the western part? I look forward to your feedback thanks.
Rifle is supposed to be a nice small town that is in driving distance to Aspen. People do drive in and catch the town bus into Aspen for work and such. Its small ... and a world away from Detroit but I couldnt imagine you not liking it.
What happens to the area now? Where will they be drilling at? Im wondering how far the oil field/s would be from Silt or Rifle.
I lived in Rifle,Colorado for many years,but I don't know where the oil fields are.When I moved away from Rifle in 1965,the population was less than 3,000.It has grown a lot since,but I'm not sure what the population is now.I always thought Rifle was a pretty nice place to live,especially if you like small town living.My parents are buried there at the Moose Cemetary,and my little sister is buried nearby at Rose Hill Cemetary.
If you work for Schlumberger. They have opening in Fort Morgan and I think you will be happier with the hours and people you work with. Rifle is hard to work in because of the lay of the land. Fort Morgan is the plains. No Mountains to try to get over. Fort Morgan use to have to cover that area. The guys hated it. Grease jobs. Just a thought.
After reading that article I can see why people are unsure of the whole situation. I would think the community legally should be able to have a representative go on the site and look at what is being done. It is odd. But when I talked to a realtor near thhere they said Rifle is going up in price, with the people from the gas companies coming & building expensive houses. Why would they build themselves houses there if it was short term ... they are staying so they must know this is a long term & profitable. What do you guys think about it?
I was just back there in Silt. Housing is very thight, virtually none to rent. Housing is increasing in value above the National rates even now. I have owned ranch land south of Silt for many years. My taxis are very LOW. The climate is very nice compared to Detroit! If you like the mountains, outdoors, resort towns, it's a nice place. I plan on selling my home here in New Buffalo, Mi. and retiring in Silt on my land, but I bought the land 26 years ago! I have irrigation, county road frontage and 6 miles from Silt. Glenwood Springs has the Hot Springs pool, Ski Sunlight and very nice but expensive property. As they say in Aspen, "the billionares are chasing the millionares out of town" and they are moving towards Silt and Rifle. When seeking a job there the first question is,"do you have housing??"
Ft. Morgan is out in the planes, no comparison to Silt area, totally different living and climate.
I lived in Rifle for two years and Parachute for two years. I loved it. It is in a boom cycle right now so they are having growing pains. Housing will be your biggest problem. A few years ago when the drilling boom started they were drilling ,literally, in peoples back yards. Lots of hard feelings about that. The companies built tons of roads all over and the dust clouds were terrible. Lots of trouble messing up the aquifers too. One guys creek actually started on fire due to the gas coming up after a well was drilled ! Most of the drilling was between Rifle and Parachute but they are also starting to drill all over the mountain country too. Lots of work there, just hope it lasts this time.

This paper is principally a review, a thesis, of principal results obtained from various authoritative theoretical physicists and mathematicians in some sectors of theoretical physics and mathematics. In this paper in the Section 1, we have described some equations concerning the quantum electrodynamics coupled to quantum gravity. In the Section 2, we have described some equations concerning the gravitational contributions to the running of gauge couplings. In the Section 3, we have described some equations concerning some quantum effects in the theory of gravitation. In the Section 4, we have described some equations concerning the supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory applied in string theory and some lemmas and equations concerning various gauge fields in any non-trivial quantum field theory for the pure Yang-Mills Lagrangian. Furthermore, in conclusion, in the Section 5, we have described various possible mathematical connections between the argument above mentioned and some sectors of Number Theory and String Theory, principally with some equations concerning the Ramanujan's modular equations that are related to the physical vibrations of the bosonic strings and of the superstrings, some Ramanujan's identities concerning π and the zeta strings.


I've been updating Statuq-Q to use WordPress 1.5 and making a few changes along the way.. a few more yet to come.
photos can see them in more concentrated form. (There are links on the right of the page, too). Other categories may follow.
With over 600 posts now, I may take some time to apply these retrospectively. But if I don't start now, the job will only get harder in future.
Just a note to say that in the new StatusQ viewed in IE 6.0 on my PC the top of your right hand sidebar starts level with the bottom of the left hand content pane!
Categories sound like a good idea though.
There are some bits of CSS layout that IE doesn't get right, but I'd still like to make it work properly for you!
Does it work if you make the window wider?
Alas, no. The screen here is set to 1280 and with the browser fully open the RH sidebar is still opening at the bottom of the LH content pane. Status-Q doesn't look right without its links!
Also, FWIW, there's a lot of instances of ' showing up in IE6 in the old content too, like the entries for October 2001 for example.
OK, thanks, Jim – I'll see what I can do.
RH & LH pane layout is fixed!
Good stuff! I found out how to include some IE-specific CSS which meant I could put in fixes for some of the things IE couldn't handle.

$3 Million For South East Queensland Hospitals
Posted on 27 March 2019 . Tags: Health Industry, Queensland
Queensland Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Steven Miles
$3 Million Hospital Plan Working
Package of initiatives implemented by the Palaszczuk Government yesterday afternoon is working hard as pressure eases on South East Queensland hospitals.
Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Steven Miles said while some of the demand had eased, the unseasonal summer surge was still being felt across both public and private hospitals.
"Overnight and this morning, presentations to hospitals in Brisbane have returned to more normal levels, however Gold Coast is still experiencing high demand." Minister Miles said.
"Additional bed capacity has allowed ED's to admit patients and clear some of the backlog."
"My message to the public remains the same: if it's an emergency always go to an emergency department, but please keep emergency departments for emergencies only."
"$3 Million allocation from the Government will continue to be used to provide extra capacity to help relieve pressure."
"Already we've been able to open an additional 30 beds for public patients at the Mater which are effectively being used to help stabilise demand across the system."
Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr. Jeannette Young said the health system is prepared for this type of capacity surge, and manages it using a range of tried and tested system-wide strategies.
"Queensland has learned the lessons from winter flu the higher admission rates and their impact on ED's and we invest in extra capacity every winter." Dr. Young said.
"We work as a system to manage high demand throughout particularly busy periods every year."
"We've been able to replicate the same strategy we use for this period for the current unseasonal demand."
Dr. Young said work was continuing to open more flex beds in the areas required.
"We are continuing to coordinate with or colleagues at private hospitals, Queensland Ambulance Service and the Federal Department of Health." Dr. Young said.
"Our hospitals are open and our emergency departments will always treat everyone who presents. But if you turn up to an ED with a less severe, conditions that can be managed by a GP, you will need to be prepared to wait."
"Hospitals are also working very hard to ensure elective surgery is not postponed. Please continue to turn up to your booked surgery, unless you are contacted by your hospital to advise otherwise."
Minister Miles acknowledged the ongoing dedication of the medical workforce across the state.
"I want our staff to know that the Government understands the tough pressures they are under and we are responding to them." Minister Miles said.
"I want the public to know that our emergency departments remain open but please be patient, and look to other options if you don't have a genuine emergency."

in the Tennessee Amateur. So far so good. (TGA photo)
NASHVILLE, TN (August 10th, 2017) - Belle Meade Country Club's first hole is a par five. For the second round in a row, William Nottingham, the 102nd Tennessee Amateur 36-hole leader, birdied No. 1.
Nottingham made a double-eagle on No. 1 meaning the Clemson golfer is five-under-par on No. 1 this week.

However, Nottingham soon fell to third place after bogeys on Nos. 2 & 4 left him three-under-par.
While the three-time TGA champion was backtracking, Kevin Burns and Brayden Garrison each used an early birdie to share the lead at four-under par.
Nottingham's stint in third place was brief. A combination of back-to-back birdies on Nos. 6-7 from Nottingham and bogeys from Burns and Garrison, left Nottingham in front by two.
Nottingham extended his lead to three after a starting the back-nine with a birdie on No. 10 to get to six-under-par. From there, the Kingsport native completed an impressive, but frustrating, stretch of eight holes.
Nottingham had multiple good looks at birdie in his final eight holes but none of them found the bottom of the cup. Nottingham also had four testy par putts. He made them all finishing the third round with a two-under-par 70. With his mother as his caddie, Nottingham enters the final round with a one-stroke lead at six-under-par.
While each member of the final group went through trials and tribulations, David Watts shot up the leaderboard with a four-under-par 68 to get to five-under-par for the championship. Watts's impressive round leaves him in second place.
Rounding out the final pairing is Swoboda who also carded a 68 to get into a tie for third. Rob Garland turned in the round of the day with a five-under-par 67 to climb into a tie for 10th place.

Is there an Academic Advantage to Being Bilingual?
Students line up to go outside for playtime at Edwards Center for Young Learners, a bilingual preschool for three and four-year-olds on the southwest side of Chicago, Illinois, August 25, 2010. Children hear stories, sing songs, play and eat during a typical three-hour school day. (Nancy Stone/Chicago Tribune/MCT)

Bilingual education is back in California thanks to the approval of Proposition 58, and in an effort to bring awareness, the Linguistics Student Organization at CSUN offered an informational session to debunk common related myths.
Dr. Janet Oh, interim director for CSUN's Office of Institutional Research, was the guest speaker at Monday's event, coordinated by Sarah Phillips, a graduate student and councilmember of the organization's leadership council.
"We hope to increase the attendees' understanding of themselves and their community with respect to how language and the mind interact," Phillips said.
Oh, whose research has focused on language development, loss and maintenance, discussed the importance of maintaining a "heritage language", the language learned at home as a child different than the dominant one used in their society.
"Bilingualism is a cognitive and academic advantage as kids that are bilingual tend to be better at selective attention", Oh said. "Bilingual adults have less amount of dementia, since they're exercising their brain more protecting it from certain things."
So what are some of these myths? Here are five that were discussed:
1. Will children be confused if s/he learns more than one language?
Children can differentiate languages even before they start speaking according to a 1989 study by Genesee.
Mixing language is not itself evidence of confusion Oh says, but instead, it can be used when filling in a gap where a word doesn't translate exactly.
"Mixing can be a linguistic strategy which takes cognitive action, linguistic strategy and is very smart," Oh said.
An original theory by Ronjat in 1913 believed that parents must only speak one language to kids but she says there is no systematic empirical support for this theory.
"My preference is to speak as much as the minority language at home. I recommend you focus on the minority language because kids will learn English no matter what," Oh said.
2. Will kids who don't learn English first fall behind in school?
This Oh says, is a common concern amongst immigrant parents.
"In actuality research shows that bilingual kids have better grades and have lower drop-out rates according to a 1995 study by Bankston & Zhou. If kids can maintain their bilingualism it can be a protective factor."
Natalie Rubio, a theatre major, said that growing up speaking English and Spanish made worried about her diction, but she still believes that bilingual education is important.
Some of Rubio's friends, she said, were bullied because of their accents at one point which she doesn't understand.
"In California you don't experience that because everyone has some sort of accent and that is accepted, but I can see how it would be harder in other places in the United States, which is crazy," she said.
3. Shouldn't heritage language be learned at home?
This was a common argument used during Prop 227 but it is not happening.
"The Heritage language is commonly lost during the first US born generation" Oh said, according to a 2000 Filmore study. "Children switch to English once they get to school and become monolingual. By adolescence children often prefer to speak English stopping them from becoming bilingual adults she says"
4. Isn't English the language of success in the U.S.?
"English doesn't have to come at the cost of another language. For some reason it is believed that if you learn English, you cannot learn another. Bilingualism is how you're successful here. English is not the language of success. In California in order to navigate certain areas you have to know other languages," Oh said. "If you continue to support a heritage language in school, their cognitive and linguistic skills are developed, and this helps their English proficiency."
5. Doesn't communication remain the same between families?
"As children grow older, parents are less and less likely to communicate effectively and their relationships suffer," Oh said. "I realized that there were certain topics I couldn't talk to my parents about for example my research because I don't know the Korean words that translate."
According to her research, quality of the relationships is best when the parent and child mutually speak in the Heritage language.
In the families in which they mutually speak in English the level is limited as the vocabulary is limited and the depth is not as good. Often times there is a mismatch, probably the worst in which the parent speaks in the heritage language and the child responds in English. This doesn't work as well as there is a disconnect.

Widely used as a ground cover plant Dichondra repens also works well in a hanging basket. A perennial that has a creeping habit it forms nodes, where the nodes touch the ground it is inclined to send out roots. Native to Australia and New Zealand and also own as kidney grass this is a versatile plant that grows well a range of conditions from full sun to part shade.
It does require a moist position to grow well, although in shade it seems to cope well with drier than normal conditions, in sun, moisture is needed.
If grown as a lawn substitute Dichondra repens will need little to no mowing and in this respect it is low maintenance. In sunny positions this is a low growing ground cover however moisture is required, dry sunny positions are not really suitable especially in warmer climates. In shade it handles dryness well although it will tend to be a taller growing plant in deep shade.
In high traffic areas it is probably best to set in some stepping stones to avoid wear. As the plant settles in, growth habit tends to become shorter. Small white flowers in spring to summer are insignificant but do allow self seeding if retained.
As a lawn substitute Dichondra repens will form a thick carpet over time, you can run the mower over it, set fairly high 3-4 times a year. Wait till it is established before mowing, and avoid mowing during winter while it is dormant, this may make it look a little sad for a while. Mowing will keep it thick and lush.
As a lawn it is lower growing in sunny positions than in shade, an excellent ground cover for sloping sections of the garden as Dichondra repens does not need to be mown, although it can be.
If you are thinking transplanting or dividing Dichondra repens remember to water well the day before, both the the section that you are dividing and the position you are transplanting to. Try to take reasonable sized plugs, around 12cm, this way you will ensure that you get a good root system with it. Water in with a liquid seaweed fertilizer to help minimise transplant shock, and keep moist until you see some good signs of new growth.
The best time to transplant is in late summer while the soil is still warm, or in early spring, when things are warming up.
Yes you can grow it from seed, sowing is similar tossing lawn seed, sow, rake in and water regularly until established.
Newly planted seeds or seedlings will require regular water until they are established. If you must mow try not to mow from when the plant flowers until it sets and drops seeds as this helps create a thicker cover.
Over watering can be a problem especially warmer humid periods, however during dry summers areas influx sun will need regular watering. A general purpose fertilizer applied in early spring and again in early summer seems to be adequate. Propagation is from seeds or by taking plugs from established areas in spring or autumn. Seeds are available for sale from native seed suppliers and plants are available from most nurseries and garden centers.
Dichondra silver falls is a different species widely used in hanging baskets see Dichondra argentea 'silver falls'.


Facebook and Instagram are both working on a new feature that will let you bring your Instagram contacts into Messenger, TechCrunch reports. The test being carried out by the two services is an opt-in for users. It is coming on the heels of a recent integration in Facebook that allows Instagram posts to appear on the platform. Recall that you can also open Instagram app directly from your Facebook app.
The feature will make is simpler for users to sync their Instagram and Messenger accounts with ease.
As seen on the screenshot above, you can now connect to Instagram from Messenger. This is available in the People tab where you can add your Instagram contacts to your list of friends that can be reached via the messaging app. If you are a new user, you also have the option of adding your Instagram contacts from the Messenger sign-up flow.
Worried about spam? Good thing is only contacts of those you mutually follow on Instagram will be imported.
This is not official yet, but TechCrunch adds that both Facebook and Instagram have started testing the feature. No exact date has been fixed when the feature will become available or if indeed it will ever hit the limelight.
Instagram users can now access their profile through Facebook's navigation menu on mobile that includes a link to their account. The new option appears right below the link to your personal profile in the Facebook app, and above your Facebook Page(s) being managed by you.
As soon as you click on the link, the Instagram app on your phone will be launched automatically, which takes you to the app's main feed. This works the same way it would when launching the app from your home screen.
Facebook is Instagram's parent company, and it's not coming as a surprise to many that this little change is being made. With the change, Facebook will more than ever be able to make Instagram stronger and more popular. In the US for instance, the ephemeral app is being edged to the second spot by Snapchat—and though, that may not last for long, Instagram knows that it still has a lot to do to close the gap.
A new report suggests that Instagram is closing in on its biggest rival, Snapchat—but that of course is in the US. While Snapchat maintains a close edge over Instagram in terms of new accounts in the US, the same cannot be said about its dominance of the global market. Instagram, according to Jumpshot, is the number one ephemeral app on the global scene.
According to Jumpshot per Recode, 52 percent of new users in the US signed up for Snapchat, while 48 preferred Instagram. This, according to the report, is a sharp decline in Snapchat's new enrolment. However, Jumpshot didn't take into account users who may have confirmed their new accounts via text.

Iowa finished 50th in a study by the website 24/7 Wall St. examining average credit card debt among residents of the 50 states.
The average credit card balance in Iowa was $5,155, according to the analysis. In contrast, Americans on average owed $6,354 on credit cards issued by banks.
The average credit card score in the state stood at 695, and the cost of living in the state was 9.8 percent less than average. Scores that exceed 720 are considered excellent, while those under 630 are viewed as poor.


This truly does give hope for the future. How good God is. How His mercy is new every morning and the power of Holiness is way bigger than anything trying to come against it. We're appointed and proclaimed messengers of the Gospel, embodying the Good News. There is no force stronger than the courage, boldness and holiness that we carry.
We would give up if it wasn't for the confidence we have that we will see the goodness of God in the land of the living. Psalm 27 is a place of rest for me. An anchor point that I firmly stand upon when trouble comes. These are verses I declare from the bottom of my heart, they feed me, they give me hope, courage and realign me with the REAL.


This page is a user-oriented tutorial for FreeBSD NAND Flash framework, related references and documentation, developed by SemiHalf.
By reading this page you will learn how to use directly attached NAND memory with FreeBSD, how the FreeBSD NAND Flash stack is organised and more.
All examples assume the reference platform is the SheevaPlug computer.
where: x - is number of controller (can be ommited if 0), y - is chip select where chip is connected to.
NANDsim is a simulator that allows imitiating ONFI-compliant NAND devices as if they were attached to the system via a virtual controller. NANDsim is a part of NAND Framework and is controlled by user space program /usr/sbin/nandsim.
Parts of NANDFS internal design are derived from the new implementation of the log-structured file system (NILFS) and the original (now legacy) BSD log-structured file system (LFS). They were used as a reference for the NANDFS mainly to leverage the existing modulartity and block management for the benefit of NAND-oriented environments. Each block on a NAND chip is equivalent to a NILFS segment, which allows for optimal segment management including erasing re-used segment, marking segment as bad, etc.
Warning: The user must be aware that NANDFS is a new file system and thus highly experimental. It is not recommended for production use at the moment.
This part will show you step-by-step how to use NAND Flash memory in FreeBSD. Most of the examples are based on using FreeBSD and NAND stack on SheevaPlug computer and creating such configuration that SheevaPlug would run FreeBSD entirely from NAND memory.
Enabling NAND Flash support in FreeBSD kernel is divided into two parts: enabling NAND Framework and/or enabling NANDFS filesystem.
NANDFS can be built and used both as an integral (static) kernel code and dynamically loaded kernel module.
NANDsim can be built and used both as an integral (static) kernel code and dynamically loaded kernel module.
When using NAND devices for the filesysystem, it is very important to note there are often possible cases when the NAND device cannot be used solely for the NANDFS purposes, for example the firmware (U-Boot) is permanently stored in some area of the NAND device.
For these reasons there must be a way of specifying information about partitions (slices) so that only a specific (unused) region of the NAND chip is subject to the file system management and responsibility.
Warning: The user must be aware of the danger of destroying some crucial contents (e.g. U-Boot) that can be stored on the NAND device, so great care must be taken when specifying the Flash map and subsequently using with the NANDFS.
Part of the NAND stack environment is a partitioning mechanism based on FlattenedDeviceTree technology, where a user is able to divide any GEOM-compatible device into arbitrary compartments (slices). When slices are not provided the user is able to access the NAND device in its entirety. Slices should be defined in Device Tree Blob (DTB) which is supplied to the kernel at boot time.
Please note that the above partition sizes don't sum up to full 512MB because of NANDFS metadata which is stored on the same device but hidden from the user.
Recompile kernel (make sure not to use -DNO_CLEAN flag in order to force DTB recompilation after changes).
NANDFS structure is created on a device with the newfs_nandfs(8) program on the specified device special file.
Note 1: Some of the NAND device's blocks cannot be erased and are ommitted by newfs_nandfs(8) with proper info. NAND chip block wear out is normal and a few bad blocks should be considered usual.
More detailed description can be found in the tool's manpage.
This example shows how to create NANDFS on a simulated NAND device. Simulation is performed by NANDsim part of the NAND Framework.
Detailed description can be found in nandsim(8) manual.
Enable NANDsim in kernel as described here.
The above example is derived from sample configuration file can be found in FreeBSD source tree: usr.sbin/nandsim/sample.conf.
Enable NAND Framework and NANDFS support in kernel as described here.
NANDFS can be used with non-NAND storage devices such as USB memory sticks or HDD.
Enable NANDFS support in kernel as described here.
243             # Cylinders according to firmware.
The following two scenarios are real-life examples on how to run FreeBSD from NAND Flash memory. Example target systems are SheevaPlug and a development board for Marvell 88F6281 SoC.
Booting SheevaPlug from NAND Flash memory requires two SHEEVAPLUG kernels to be compiled: one will be used for intermediate preparation steps whereas the second will be used to boot SheevaPlug from NAND memory. First kernel will mount root file system over NFS, second - from NANDFS.
Build FreeBSD ARM world and package it to a tar file. Let's assume it is named arm-world.tar and available in target's /root/ directory.
Prepare NAND partitions as described in here.
Enable NAND Framework and NANDFS support in sys/arm/conf/SHEEVAPLUG kernel config file and recompile kernel.
Copy aside binary kernel compiled in step 3.
Edit sys/arm/conf/SHEEVAPLUG kernel config file and add the following line that will tell kernel to mount root file system from NAND partition. Recompile kernel afterward.
That's it! You have booted FreeBSD and are running it on SheevaPlug entirely from the NAND Flash memory.

Portland Architecture
Density in small packages
Brian Libby
COLUMN: Brian Libby's PORTLAND ARCHITECTURE
Accessory Dwelling Units not only complete our housing and planning puzzles, but look good doing it.
For all the large new building projects happening throughout the Portland metropolitan area — office and apartment towers, hotels and hospitals — the best, most beautiful and functional architecture still tends to come in small packages. That's especially true if we consider the wave of accessory dwelling units (ADUs, for short) constructed in thousands of backyards and driveways over the past few years.
Since the City of Portland first began waving system development charges for these micro-residences in 2010, the graph charting project numbers has come to look like a plane taking off and rising skyward. Between 2000 and 2009, Portland issued an average of 27 permits a year. From 2016-2018, the average was 621.
At last fall's Portland Architecture Awards, three of the 20 prizes for completed building projects went to ADUs, and a fourth went to another tiny residential project. That means one in five awards went to the kind projects with the smallest budgets, the least square footage. ADUs also tend to be built by small firms and emerging architects, giving some of the award-winning designs by the likes of Scott Mooney, Webster Wilson and Open Studio Collective a special chance to show what they can do.
But these little gems are often hidden from view because they're principally built in backyards. Take the 800-square-foot ADU on quiet stretch of Southeast 53rd Avenue that was completed last year by local firm Placeship. Though invisible from the street, because of how it's tucked behind a larger Craftsman home, it features a striking overhanging pitched roof that interconnects with a second-floor balcony and screen to create a delightful little architectural sculpture. Yet this is by no means a pure stylistic exercise. ADUs have to be practical.
"Even though there are only so many design moves you can make with such a small building, it's very satisfying to consider how a limited set of gestures can create a thoughtful order for the routines of daily life," says Placeship co-founder Adrienne Leverette, who co-designed the ADU with partner Chris Jones. "Our patterns of living have changed a lot since then, and older houses often feel too big in some places, too small in others, and not particularly responsive to site or energy consumption issues. I think what's contemporary about ADU design is less about exterior form or material, and more about the ideas about living that are embedded in the buildings themselves."
ADUs are heavily restricted by the city, not just in terms of size and their relation to the houses they sit behind or beside. Today they often ape the design cues and rooflines of houses from a century or more ago. I'd argue that's downright silly as well as a recipe for inauthenticity. So too are some of the size strictures, which prevent two equally-sized ADUs on the same site. "I think the city is learning there needs to be a little bit of leeway," says Tim Fouch, a partner with Fieldwork Design and Architecture, which has designed numerous ADUs including the award-winning Kerns Micro House. But there's no doubt, he says, that these little structures have a role to play. "It's a way to bring density to a neighborhood in a sliding scale."
It's also a way to bring a lot more beauty per square foot than your average McMansion.

Management and Quality Development in Public Health
Management und Qualitätsentwicklung im Gesundheitswesen
Subject area: economy and administration
Kind of studies: full-time studies, part-time studies
University website: www.ash-berlin.eu
Development or developing may refer to:
Health is the ability of a biological system to acquire, convert, allocate, distribute, and utilize energy with maximum efficiency. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined human health in a broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value, the ambiguity in developing cohesive health strategies and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete", which makes it practically impossible to achieve. Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction.
Management (or managing) is the administration of an organization, whether it is a business, a not-for-profit organization, or government body. Management includes the activities of setting the strategy of an organization and coordinating the efforts of its employees (or of volunteers) to accomplish its objectives through the application of available resources, such as financial, natural, technological, and human resources. The term "management" may also refer to those people who manage an organization.
In public relations and communication science, publics are groups of individual people, and the public (a.k.a. the general public) is the totality of such groupings. This is a different concept to the sociological concept of the Öffentlichkeit or public sphere. The concept of a public has also been defined in political science, psychology, marketing, and advertising. In public relations and communication science, it is one of the more ambiguous concepts in the field. Although it has definitions in the theory of the field that have been formulated from the early 20th century onwards, it has suffered in more recent years from being blurred, as a result of conflation of the idea of a public with the notions of audience, market segment, community, constituency, and stakeholder.
Public health is "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting human health through organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities and individuals." Analyzing the health of a population and the threats is the basis for public health. The "public" in question can be as small as a handful of people, an entire village or it can be as large as several continents, in the case of a pandemic. "Health" takes into account physical, mental and social well-being. It is not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, according to the World Health Organization. Public health is interdisciplinary. For example, epidemiology, biostatistics and health services are all relevant. Environmental health, community health, behavioral health, health economics, public policy, mental health and occupational safety, gender issues in health, sexual and reproductive health are other important subfields.
Quality may refer to:
Uncontrolled variation is the enemy of quality.
Attributed to Edward Deming (1980) in: Chang W. Kang, Paul H. Kvam (2012) Basic Statistical Tools for Improving Quality. p. 19.
Health and cheerfulness mutually beget each other.
Joseph Addison, The Spectator, No. 387.
The measure of your quality as a public person, as a citizen, is the gap between what you do and what you say.
Ramsey Clark, International Herald Tribune (Paris, June 18, 1991).

THE FARBER QUESTION ... Mark Steyn
Steyn Online ^ | 15 March 2011 | Mark Steyn
Posted on 03/16/2011 2:25:12 AM PDT by Rummyfan
In my piece on the Itamar massacre, I made a passing reference to "the sad, irrelevant fool" who heads the Canadian Jewish Congress, twittering away about irrelevant "ugly anonymity" online but with nothing to say about the decapitation of a three-month old Jewish baby - for the crime of being a three-month old Jewish baby. The Closet Conservative goes further and posts a screen shot of the CJC website from yesterday morning.
I don't pretend to any expert knowledge of the CJC. Indeed, I barely gave Bernie ("Nobody Knows I'm Jewish") Farber a thought until, in the course of my battle with Canada's "human rights" regime, I discovered the CJC is the Dominion's most prominent non-government proponent of speech censorship. When Ezra Levant and I testified before Parliament on Section 13, some CJC bigshot (I forget which) turned up to gladhand the Liberals and other pro-censorship types. He and Ezra got into a bit of a ding-dong in the lobby which ended with Ezra telling the bigshot, "You're a Jewish book-burner." Which is true. And not an activity any self-respecting Jew should be engaged in.
Nevertheless, granted our differences, one is struck by the woeful narcissistic triviality of that CJC front page from yesterday - "Parliament Unites to Celebrate Canadian Jewish Congress", "CJC played core role in creation of Charter of Rts", "Unveiling of Plaque Commemorating National Historic Significance of the Founding of CJC". The headlines that aren't merely self-absorbed are fighting last century's battles: "The proliferation of offensive allusions to Nazi Germany in recent years is disturbing."
Perhaps this would have been sufficient in more placid times. But, given the resurgence of an ever more open anti-Semitism in Canada and the wider west, the CJC's priorities represent not just complacency but a kind of decadence. They are in stark contrast to those of the Hillel members I met recently in Vancouver, who've become very deft at putting together smart, witty rapid responses to George Galloway, Queers Against Israeli Apartheid or whatever this week's fashionable provocation happens to be. They do terrific work defending Israel in the poisonous atmosphere of Canadian college campuses - an atmosphere for which the complacency of the Farber regime bears some responsibility. In Quebec, Point de Bascule is likewise actively engaged battling the real threats to Canadian Jewry. It is bizarre that the CJC has found itself on the side of those who wish to silence the most effective defenders of Israel in Canada, but it is shameful that it has so little to say about these matters itself.
A few months ago, I read Howard Jacobson's novel The Finkler Question. Jacobson, with whom I shared space on the pages of The Independent and the chat-show sofas of the BBC many years ago, is a more or less conventional liberal, but he is also a British Jew who disdains to join the near universal "anti-Zionism" of the London chattering classes. The eponymous Finkler, for example, is a telly celebrity who founds a group called "ASH" - short for "ASHamed Jews". The novel pulls its punches toward the end, but not before this brief passage, in which a character goes on the Internet, finds a site that catalogues anti-Semitic incidents by country and is amazed to find that Canada is included on the pull-down menu:
Canada? Yes, Canada.
And [he] read that in the course of Canada's now annual Israeli Apartheid Week events held on campuses throughout the country security officers roughed up Jewish hecklers, one of them warning a Jewish student to 'shut the fuck up or I'll saw your head off'.
Was that a home-grown Canadian deterrent, he wondered, sawing Jews' heads off?
What do Canadian Jewry have to show for the Farber years? The Closet Conservative writes:
I am once again embarrassed that Bernie M. Farber, the loathsome Jewish liberal who never met a multicult project that he didn't love apparently has a job for life as the "leader" of our community.
He is a disgrace, and all of the Canadian Jews and United Jewish Appeal donors who enable this particularly uninspired, leftist gimp to continue be the "professional" tail that wags the dog of the "organized" Jewish community of Canada should be ashamed of themselves. Who gave him a job for life? Who is satisfied with this grovelling emasculated dhimmi Jew being the face of our community to the entire world?
Those who enable and celebrate Bernie, and the attitudes and performance of the Canadian Jewish Congress have made the Jewish community of Canada into the ultimate caricature of the loathsome powerless, eunuch Jew.
Oh, speak for yourself. It's worked out swell for what Ezra calls the Official Jews. Jewish babies are being decapitated and Ministers of the Crown who seek to defend Israel are prevented from speaking at Toronto universities, but Bernie's on the case of some schlub in a basement in Swift Current who has a blog with a swastika on it, and surely his Order of Canada will be in the mail any day now - or is it the Diamond Jubilee Medal?

Slow Response to Model 3 Cancellations Raises Big Questions
Delayed refunds raise concerns over Tesla's ability to handle '6 to 9 months of manufacturing hell'.
One of the initial skepticisms of Tesla and Elon Musk was how well the inventor could transition individual ideas into mass market production.
Maybe one of the allures in working on projects with SpaceX or The Boring Company is that you don't have to deal with thousands of customers absorbing your company's resources in seeking $1,000 refunds.
This is the case for many looking to cancel their reservations for the recently unveiled Tesla Model 3.
Although Tesla has never unveiled exactly how many reservations it has accepted for the Model 3, Q3 earnings reports from 2016 showed over $700 million in customer deposits. That number shrank to about $616 in the latest report, as a number of initial reservation holders have asked for their money back instead of waiting until 2018, at the earliest, for their new car.
While the reasons for the requested refunds could vary, one similarity seems to be the mounting frustration of those waiting for the refund after cancelling their Model 3 reservation.
While the electric vehicle maker's website offers three weeks as the typical turnaround time for receiving the refund, many have taken to social media in airing their frustrations and searching for explanations as to why their refunds have taken three months or more to process.
According to a Wired article, the reasons vary from IT issues to expanded fraud protection protocols to orders over a year old taking longer to process.
Regardless, Tesla maintains that new reservations have exceeded refund requests.
One potential reality is that the company has received more cancellations than anticipated. This raises familiar concerns about the company's ability to work beyond the scope of tech enthusiasts and early adopters in meeting the demand for a half-million cars.
Remember, the company only made 83,000 vehicles last year. They have an estimated 400,000 to 500,000 people anticipating delivery of their new Model 3s within the next 12 months. This is equivalent to a 600 percent production increase.
And it comes on the heels of working out the bugs from a new product launch, developing new products, and answering questions related to worker safety as the company enters a phase described by its CEO as six to nine months of manufacturing hell.
