REPOST: Please Beware of @ZephyrtheFloof
MOD COMMENT
mithical has deleted the post therefore we are reposting the screencap we've taken. Screencaps of comments will come shortly after.
How/why the post was originally deleted is NOT the topic of this post. Please stay on topic of the Beware itself.
WHO: Zephyr The Floof (Customer of Mithacal Creatures)
WHERE: Initial contact about customer wanting a commission was on Twitter @Mithacal
WHAT: A custom made digitgrade fullsuit
WHEN: Commission Date 12-24-16. Dispute filed 5-3-17.
EXPLAIN: This customer approached us (Mithacal Creatures) on 12-24-16 to inquire about commissioning a realistic style fullsuit of her dragon character. After purchasing materials including a resin base which we had completed work in preparation for furring, she (Zephyr) changed her mind about what she wanted and asked that we change her suit to a toony style one. After some back and forth about the cost of additional materials (which she initially did not want to pay) she agreed to the additional $290 to cover new fur and toony base, eyes etc.
Zephyr had been in frequent contact with us regarding the state of her commission as well as general conversation and was well aware of the production timeline and completion state of her commission when she suddenly and without notice filed a fraudulent non-receipt dispute on PayPal. We had initially agreed to a completion time in late 2017, which was pushed back to early 2018 (March at the latest) as a result of the style change. Zephyr made no effort to ask for a refund and had previously showed no complaint nor concern for her commission, in fact she had stated just the day before the dispute that she was looking forward to seeing it done... Following her dispute filing with PayPal, she ignored our attempts to contact her via text and Twitter. When she finally did answer us she said she "had an emergency" come up and said "I knew you wouldn't give me my money back" so filed a non-receipt dispute despite knowing full well that the project was not yet finished. She admits to this in fact, both to us and on her Twitter account. Her dispute had nothing to do with her being dissatisfied in any way with our work or communication, it had everything to do with finding the easiest way to get some fast cash. Knowing that we could not provide tracking numbers to PayPal a decision in her favor was almost guaranteed. She used PayPal's policies to her advantage to scam both us and PayPal, to the point of calling them and declaring that our dispute had "been settled amicably" and cancelling her claim. This effectively shut down the investigation into her account and review of our evidence that we had requested of PayPal. There was nothing "Amicable" about the settlement of the claim at all, as she has in fact stolen our time and labor put into her commission to date as well as the materials cost invested and blocked all attempts at communication. Additionally this buyer after using a "family emergency" as an excuse for needing money, she in fact immediately began commissioning a number of artists for new artwork of her characters as soon as the refund hit her PayPal account. Her behavior has been immature, fraudulent, and extremely disingenuous. Accept commissions at your own risk, especially given that just a month prior to her dispute she said she would never do such a thing and that it was "wrong" to do that to an artist when showing support to us following an issue with an unrelated customer.
http://sta.sh/01bjus6wtj1s
This is the buyers Twitter account following her blocking us from communicating with her following the dispute filing.
http://sta.sh/21iujrp12kky?edit=1
These show the buyer asking for a basic quote and acknowledging the 50% NON-REFUNDABLE deposit required.
http://sta.sh/01yob8jv6s4y
Here is the buyer agreeing to an early 2018 completion time before sending the deposit of $1900.
http://sta.sh/024shatfi0e9
This screenshot shows the buyer texting us the day before the dispute was filed. Everything seemed fine, then she finally answered us and said she was "asking for a refund" (Never asked, if forcing one through a PayPal chargeback is "asking" then someone needs to learn some serious communication skills...) due to a "serious family issue". She later spent this refund on more art. The "slander" she speaks of was simply a beware post on Twitter showing the exact same screenshots as those shown here.
http://sta.sh/219jghos82qr?edit=1
This series of screenshots shows us and the buyer discussing the dispute and completion time which after showing her proof she admits was not until next year.
http://sta.sh/02a13fp98aji
This is the buyer showing support for us a month prior to filing a dispute when we had an unrelated issue with another buyer. She also shows intent to continue with her monthly payments for the remaining balance due, just days after sending her payment for April, the last one we received.
http://sta.sh/2mu5glqiy9g?edit=1
Buyer on her Twitter telling someone else that we in fact had not been late completing her commission, this posted days after filing a PayPal dispute.
http://sta.sh/21udk4q4y9ay?edit=1
These show Zephyr commissioning art on 5-10-17 following her "family emergency" and claiming a desperate need for money. This happened to be the day a partial refund from PayPal for $211.11 was credited to her account...
http://sta.sh/02641usqyh0k
Proof of being blocked by her on Twitter
Thank you for reading and please beware of this customer.

When your child is learning to read, they will start to spot words they know in different places. Pick a simple word you know they will recognise, like "there" or "here". Or choose a word that you don't see a lot. Show them the newspaper or magazine or online content you are reading, or look at signs in public places together. See if they can point to a familiar word.
Play a game of "hunt the word". Choose a word and see if they can find it on the page or, if it is a common word, how many of that word they can find.
Recognising whole words in different places will give your child confidence. As time goes by, they will see more and more words that they recognise.
It really helps if your child sees you reading, whether it's a newspaper, a magazine, something online, or a book. Show them that reading is part of everyday life.

Caldillo de perro (literally "dog soup") is a fish soup of Andalusia (southern Spain). The name is said to come from "el Perro," the nickname of a shipboard cook in El Puerto de Santa María.
The main ingredients are hake, garlic, olive oil, lemons, and Seville oranges. It is customarily served with sour orange juice. It is a common dish in the fishing districts.

The fresh fish stock is cut into slices and seasoned with salt. The soup is traditionally cooked in a clay pot. Olive oil, garlic, onions, leeks, carrots, and parsley (with mussels occasionally added) are brought to a boil and then gently simmered for approximately 30 minutes. The sliced fish is added at the end and served with sour orange juice and white bread. The soup is served hot and freshly cooked.

Janniko Georgiadis is Associate Professor and Head of the Anatomy section at the Department of Neurosciences. In that capacity, he teaches Anatomy to students, doctors in training and medical specialists. In addition, he is one of the few researchers in the world who do brain research into sexual behaviour. He gained his PhD with a thesis called 'The Orgasmic Brain Exposed' (2007).
Georgiadis is an extremely passionate lecturer, whose teaching is highly valued by his students. He is also involved in educational innovation, such as the development of digital teaching material using AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality), initiating large innovation projects that include the Virtual Dissection Room. For many projects, he seeks cooperation abroad, with the European Medical School Oldenburg-Groningen playing an important role. The business world is also involved in his projects. Earlier this year, he and his team received the UMCG Education Innovation Award for their Game of Guilds project, which uses a game concept, i.e. a computer game, to provide anatomical education, a development known as gamification. This is a form of education that corresponds to the way in which the current generation of students study.

So is there a way to remove DRM from Apple Music, and then people can upload them to Google Drive. Here the article will provide a useful way to help people to make it happen.
Google Drive, launched by Google on April 24, 2012, is a file storage and synchronization service. It allows users to store files in the cloud, share files, and edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with collaborators. Google Drive had 240 million monthly active users by October 2014. In September 2015 that they had over one million individual or organizational paid users of Google Drive. Why people prefer to choose Google Drive to store their files? There are five reasons.
1.	Support various kinds of documents. Users can build, share, and view many types file, such as image files (.JPEG, .PNG, .GIF, .TIFF, .BMP, .WEBP), video files (WebM, .MPEG4, .3GPP, .MOV, .AVI, .MPEG, .MPEGPS, .WMV, .FLV, .OGG), Audio formats (.MP3, .M4A, .WAV, .ogg) and so on.
2.	Support to access it from any location: PCs, Mac computer, Android smartphones and tablets, iPhones, iPads and so on.
3.	A powerful search function. Google Drive not only supports the way of key word search, file type and format, but also uses Google Goggles and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. Users can search for images by describing or naming what is in them. For example, a search for "mountain" returns all the photos of mountains as well as any text documents about mountains.
4.	Sharing. Users can share their files with anyone, and the owner may also set an access level for regulating permissions. The three access levels offered are "can edit", "can comment" and "can view". Users with editing access can invite others to edit.
5.	App. Different from others, Google released an API for Google Drive that enables third-party developers to build collaborative apps that support real-time editing, which means that users can upload their files by using each program with API of Google Drive, and do not need to install Google Drive APP.
2. How to upload Apple Music Songs to Google Drive?
It is well-know that Apple Music adds DRM to all of its songs to prevent people from using without authorization. And Apple Music thinks that playing Apple Music on mp3 player, car player, or burning to a CD would be stealing. They're not tracks users own, even if people download them for offline use; they're protected .m4p files. So if people want to upload their favorite music to Google Drive, they will fail inevitably. Is there any way to solve it and help people upload Apple Music songs to Google Drive easily?
Click the button "+" to add music, it will pop up a window, which will show you all of songs you have downloaded from Apple Music. You can choose any song you want to convert.
After the successful adding, the next one is choosing the output format according to your need. Clicking the button "setting", in the pop-up window, you can set output path, output quality, and output format including WAV, AAC, MP3, and FLAC.
After completing the above steps, the final one is clicking the button "Convert". Just a few second, it will succeed. The output audio are kept with all ID tags and metadata. Afterward, you can enjoy DRM-free Apple Music songs and upload them to Google Drive easily.

IMF chief Lagarde defends rate hikes after Trump slams 'crazy' Fed
3 min read . Updated: 11 Oct 2018, 01:07 PM IST Agence France-Presse
Christine Lagarde said central bank rate increases such as those by the policy-setting US Federal Reserve were justified by fundamentals
IMFFedFed rate hikeChristine LagardeDonald TrumpWTOglobal growthglobal stocks
Nusa Dua (Indonesia): International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Christine Lagarde on Thursday defended central bank rate hikes in a veiled rebuke to Donald Trump after the US president blamed "crazy" Fed policies for contributing to financial market turmoil.
Lagarde's comments came as a global market sell-off rolled on following Trump's comments, underscoring rising financial volatility that the IMF will address at its annual meetings this week in Bali.
Lagarde said central bank rate increases such as those by the policy-setting US Federal Reserve were justified by fundamentals.
"It is clearly a necessary development for those economies that are showing much improved growth, inflation that is picking up... unemployment that is extremely low," she told a press briefing in Bali.
"It's inevitable that central banks make the decisions that they make." Following a sharp Wall Street sell-off on Wednesday, Trump said the Federal Reserve "is making a mistake." "I think the Fed has gone crazy," he said.
Trump has repeatedly touted Wall Street records as proof of the success of his economic programme including his confrontational trade strategy, and has frequently criticised the Fed for gradually raising interest rates, which could press the brakes on equity markets.
The global financial elite are on the Indonesian holiday island for a week of discussions clouded by the economic outlook.
The IMF's latest report on world financial stability, released Wednesday, said global growth could be at risk if emerging markets deteriorate further or trade tensions escalate.
Much of the global angst has been dominated by Trump's escalating tariff war with China and his disdain for world trading norms.
But higher US interest rates have also helped send emerging market currencies into a tailspin, as countries that borrowed heavily in dollars race to pay back debt.
On Wednesday, Lagarde said world leaders should fix global trading systems instead of tearing them down, in response to nationalist politicians pushing tariffs and protectionism.
While defending justified rate hikes, Lagarde added on Thursday that uncoordinated rate increases in advanced economies were contributing to destabilising capital outflows from emerging markets.
Combined with the trade tensions, this had created "a bit of an unprecedented situation" for the world economy, she said.
"Clearly as a result of (rate hikes)... we see and we will continue to see capital flow movements," she added.
"The fact that large central banks of advanced economies are not exactly all moving at the same pace is also probably accelerating that phenomenon." She reiterated her call for the world to come together to address the challenges.
"De-escalate, fix the system, and don't break it," she said.
Trump has levied or threatened tariffs on goods from economies around the world, notably China, but also on traditional allies such as the European Union.
The head of the World Trade Organization warned that a "full-blown commercial war" could shrink global trade by nearly 18% and also knock worldwide GDP, hurting the US, China, and others.
Lagarde said she would meet Pakistani officials on Thursday, with expectations that Islamabad will request a bailout of its shaky economy. Pakistan faces a looming balance-of-payments crisis, with Prime Minister Imran Khan saying it needs $10-12 billion.
Lagarde said the IMF was yet to receive a formal request.
"I'm assuming that there might be a programme request on their part, but that has not been discussed and we will explore that this afternoon," she said.
The IMF on Tuesday cut its outlook for global GDP growth by two-tenths to 3.7% for 2018 and 2019, citing the economic uncertainty.

Preserving family unity is a fundamental purpose of U.S. immigration law, but many families face significant challenges on the road to joyful unification. Benach Collopy attorneys have extensive experience navigating the complex process of uniting family members in the U.S. Like many other areas of immigration law, the preparation of family-based petitions depends upon our ability to tell your story. At Benach Collopy, we take the time and interest to learn about you and your family members, your challenges and joys, and the details that will ensure a successful family-based application. Benach Collopy attorneys will help your family determine if you or your loved ones qualify for any of the following family-based immigration options.
Immigrant Visa Petitions
U.S. citizens and permanent residents may sponsor (or "petition" for) certain family members to become permanent residents of the United States. Most family-based visa petitions are initiated when the sponsoring relative files an immigrant visa petition, also known as a Form I-130, with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the U.S. Consulate abroad. Family relationships that qualify for an I-130 immigrant visa petition are those of immediate relatives (spouses of U.S. citizens, parents of U.S. citizens who are over 21, and under-21 children of U.S. citizens) and other close family members.
The date of receipt by USCIS of the Form I-130 establishes the individual's "priority date" for an immigrant visa. Because U.S. law does not establish a limit on the number of immediate relatives that may immigrate, those who qualify as immediate relatives need not wait for their priority dates to become current. Family members who are not immediate relatives are subject to limitations on the number of visas available, by preference category and country of origin (see discussion below), and may have to wait months or years for their priority dates to become current. When an I-130 petition is approved, and the priority date is current (i.e., after any applicable wait time has passed), the sponsored individual may apply for an immigrant visa or, where eligible, apply for "adjustment of status" to obtain lawful permanent residence (a "green card") in the United States.
It is important to note that an individual must otherwise be eligible to obtain lawful permanent resident status in the United States or be eligible for a "waiver of inadmissibility." Please see our practice page on Waivers of Inadmissibility. We recommend that an individual's eligibility and admissibility be assessed thoroughly by immigration counsel before any family-based visa petition is filed, to ensure that the foreign national family member ultimately may obtain permanent residence.
Marriage-based Petitions
The marital relationship is one of the most common methods to immigrate to the U.S. Unlike other immediate relative relationships (parent and child) that can be established solely via documentation such as a birth certificate, USCIS must establish that a marriage is valid for immediate relative purposes. USCIS will consider a marriage to be valid if it was valid at the time it was performed, if the parties are still married at the time the immigration process in completed, and if the marriage was not entered into solely for immigration purposes. Each party must have been legally permitted to marry, and the marriage must be considered legal under the laws where the marriage was performed (including same-sex, common law, and "customary" marriages). Any divorce must be final and valid. If a marriage is entered into while the foreign national spouse is in removal proceedings, the married couple must submit extensive evidence to demonstrate that the marriage is, indeed, valid, in order to overcome a presumption of fraud.
If the foreign national spouse is in the U.S. pursuant to a lawful entry in another visa category (for example, as a student, an exchange visitor, on a work-related visa, etc.), the U.S. citizen spouse may file a petition for an immigrant visa and permanent residence in one petition package called a "one-step." Upon applying for the visa petition and adjustment of status to permanent residence, the spouse may obtain work authorization. As long as the foreign national spouse made a lawful entry into the U.S., the spouse will be forgiven for certain other "status-related" immigration violations such as work without authorization or overstaying a period of authorized stay. If the foreign national spouse is not in the U.S. pursuant to a lawful entry, certain waivers of the unauthorized entry or stay in the U.S. may be available that would allow the foreign national spouse to become a permanent resident. Please see our practice page on Waivers of Inadmissibility.
A foreign national spouse who has been married to the U.S. citizen petitioning spouse for less than two years is granted "conditional" permanent residence for two years, and the foreign national spouse must take additional steps at the end of the conditional period to maintain permanent resident status. If the spouse does not file a petition (Form I-751) to remove conditions on residence at the end of the two year period, the conditional permanent resident status terminates and the foreign national spouse is out of status and may be deportable.
Other Family-Based Immigrant Visa Categories
If a foreign national family member is not an "immediate relative," in order to immigrate based on a U.S. citizen or permanent resident family member's petition, the individual must fall into one of the specified family relationships with specified numbers of visas available:
Unmarried adult (over 21) sons and daughters of U.S. citizens (First Preference); spouses and unmarried minor (under 21) children of permanent residents (Second Preference)
Married adult (over 21) sons and daughters of U.S. citizens (Third Preference)
Siblings of U.S. citizens (Fourth Preference).
Visas are allocated based on these preference categories, which are then further allocated based on the country of origin of the foreign national family member. Immigrant visas are issued in chronological order in each of the preference categories based on priority dates (the date on which the immigrant visa petition is accepted for processing by USCIS). The Department of State "visa bulletin" is published monthly with updated information on current priority dates and can be found at www.travel.state.gov.
Other Family-based Immigration Options
A K-1 visa enables a U.S. Citizen to bring his or her foreign national fiancé(e) to the U.S. with the intention of marrying shortly after arrival in the U.S. and pursuing permanent residency. The U.S. Citizen fiancé(e) must file a petition with USCIS demonstrating that the parties have met in person within the past two years, have a good faith intention to marry, and are willing and legally able to marry within 90 days of the foreign national fiancé(e)'s arrival in the U.S. After the petition has been approved by USCIS, the foreign national fiancé(e) may obtain the K-1 visa at the U.S. Consulate in the foreign country of residence according to the requirements of that consulate (these generally include an interview, a medical exam, and certain other documentary requirements). Please see our practice page on Consular Processing. If the consulate is satisfied that the visa should be approved, the foreign national fiancé will be issued a K-1 visa to enter the U.S. for 90 days, during which the foreign national fiancé must marry the U.S. citizen petitioner. After the marriage, the U.S. citizen spouse may file an application for adjustment of status for the foreign national spouse.
Special Immigrant Juvenile Petitions
Certain minor children may be eligible to apply for lawful permanent residence in the U.S. as a special immigrant juvenile. The applicant for such status must be under 21 years old, unmarried, and declared a ward of a U.S. court, eligible for long-term foster care, or placed in the custody of a state agency. This process also involves a determination by a state or federal court with family law jurisdiction, that it would not be in the child's best interests to be returned to his or her home country. This decision is binding on USCIS. Special immigrant juveniles are forgiven for many actions that would otherwise prevent lawful permanent residence, including entry without inspection, inadmissibility at the time of entry, failure to maintain valid nonimmigrant status, working without authorization, and prostitution. A child who receives permanent residency through the special juvenile immigrant category cannot petition for residency for his or her natural or adoptive parents.
Adoption or Orphan Status
An orphan is a child who is orphaned by the death, disappearance of, abandonment by, desertion by, separation, or loss from, both parents, or if the sole surviving parent is incapable of providing the child with proper care and irrevocably relinquishes custody of the child for emigration and adoption. The child's country of origin must permit adoptions by foreign nationals, and the prospective U.S. citizen parents must comply with all of the rules of that country relating to adoptions. At least one adoptive parent must be a U.S. citizen, and single adoptive parents must be at least 25 years of age. In certain cases, a foreign-born child may be adopted in the U.S. The child must be under 16 years old at the time the petition for permanent residence is filed (or under 18 if being adopted with a sibling who is under 16).
Prior to the adoption, the adoptive parents and any other adults that will be living with the adopted child must be evaluated through a home study conducted by a USCIS-authorized organization.
Special Visas For Spouses And Unmarried Minor Children Of United States Citizens and Permanent Residents
In an effort to shorten the process of family unification, USCIS will grant certain nonimmigrant visas to the spouse (K-3 visa) and children (K-4 visa) of a U.S. citizen while they await completion of the permanent residence process. The foreign national eligible for a K-3 visa must be the spouse of a U.S. citizen with a pending Form I-130 that has been filed with USCIS, and must intend to enter the U.S. in order to await the completion of the permanent residence process. Once in the U.S., the K-3 or K-4 spouse or child must file the application to adjust status to lawful permanent residence once the I-130 visa petition has been approved by USCIS. A similar visa (V visa) is available to spouses and unmarried minor children of lawful permanent residents for whom a petition was filed on or before December 21, 2000.

In the early hours of May 16, Mollie Hughes took her final steps up the rocky northeastern ridge of Mount Everest. At 26 she had just become the youngest British climber to scale both faces of the world's tallest peak.
If she has anything to do with it, that record will not last for long. The former shop assistant from Edinburgh will lead a group of schoolchildren on a ten-day expedition to the Arctic as part of a programme that aims to inspire the next generation of Scottish explorers.
Along with Craig Mathieson, the Royal Scottish Geographical Society's explorer in residence, she will select ten 14 to 17-year-olds who have struggled in education. They range from victims of bullying and pupils with low self-confidence to

Oracle of outrage
Comic Jimmy Dore scowls about the world while loving life in Pasadena
By Carl Kozlowski 06/05/2013
Like it? Tweet it! SHARE IT!
Jiimmy Dore has a lot to say about the state of America, and he uses many different platforms to say it. He's a nationally headlining club comedian who has regularly performed on the Jimmy Kimmel and Craig Ferguson shows and earned the honor of having two solo one-hour Comedy Central specials. He's also one of the pundits on Current TV's "The Young Turks," as well as the host of his own bitingly hilarious, nationally syndicated radio program, "The Jimmy Dore Show."
Yet, while the radio show emanates from North Hollywood's KPFK-FM station each week, Dore is a proud Pasadenan. He enjoys the fact that Pasadena is a cultural hub, but is even more appreciative of its distance from the behind-the-scenes game playing of the show-business scene. That combination helps him maintain the same kind of grounded life he experienced during his boyhood on the blue-collar South Side of Chicago.
"I grew up in what I like to call a very blue-collar neighborhood, very blue. I would say it was a navy-blue-collar neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago," Dore recalls. "The people worked hard all day and then went home at night and watched reruns of Archie Bunker and laughed for all the wrong reasons."
As the youngest of 12 kids in an Irish-Catholic family, Dore learned early on that he needed to fight for attention if he wanted to receive any, even from his parents. For him, being funny was the way to get a response, and eventually having such a large and built-in audience meant he had plenty of practice by the first time he took the stage.
"As soon as I figured out I was replaceable, I knew I had to try comedy," Dore says. "There was an open mic night near my house at a comedy club called the Comedy Womb — 'Where Comedians Are Born' was their motto. I started in the early '90s, when all you needed was a pulse and suit jacket and you could get a paying comedy gig."
One thing that quickly helped Dore stand out was the fact that he wasn't shy about his political views, which are often labeled as strictly progressive. But he's actually more of a free thinker who demands the truth from our leaders and the institutions of government, with a particular focus on fighting the hypocrisy of the drug war.
Dore is a passionate advocate for ending the war on pot and legalizing medical use of marijuana. He not only was a writer-performer of the smash off-Broadway hit "The Marijuana-Logues," but he also believes that using medical marijuana saved his sanity and possibly his life, due to its strong role in helping alleviate chronic and debilitating pain caused by problems with vertebrae.
"I describe myself as politically aware, a progressive along the lines of Teddy Roosevelt," explains Dore. "I see that the real problems facing our country are not left-right, but top-down. The plutocrats against the rest of us, and the plutocrats are on a 30-year winning streak."
As the Obama administration battles concurrent allegations of at least three different scandals — regarding the terrorist attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi, the targeting of conservative groups by the IRS, and the wiretappings of reporters at the Associated Press and FOX News – Dore believes that the accusations and interrogations are acting as distractions from the bigger problems facing the nation.
"Two of those three could be called 'the scandals that weren't,'" he says. "So a political organization applying for tax-exempt status was first given extra scrutiny before actually being granted tax-exempt status. There's a scandal there somewhere, right?
"Of course, the real scandal is that the true criminals in our country will never be prosecuted: The criminal bankers who raped our economy and pocketed the profits while it crashed," he continues. "And the people who ordered torture and war crimes and lied our nation into an illegal war … We don't prosecute those crimes anymore, but we did get Martha Stewart."
Thanks to living in a relatively laid-back state like California, Dore doesn't have to worry much about getting arrested for using medical marijuana. Suffering from problems with his back, he can lapse into having pain so great it threatened to debilitate him a few years ago.
Even though he has the right to be prescribed marijuana, Dore finds the process of receiving it from a clinic to be utterly absurd.
"I can buy liquor at a gas station in the United States but I have to see a doctor and go to a clinic and be buzzed into a back room in order to buy a joint," he says, with rising sarcasm. "Are you kidding me? You guys should be embarrassed to be doing this to me. You say, 'I don't think you're sick enough.' Well, you're not sick and you can buy Everclear and no one makes you take a test to buy it. You should feel bad that you make a guy jump through hoops to get his drug of choice when you don't have to.'"
Jimmy Dore can be heard on "The Jimmy Dore Show" at 3 p.m. Fridays on 90.7 KPFK-FM and can be seen on "The Young Turks" online on Current TV's Web site at youtube.com/tytcomedy. His Web site is jimmydorecomedy.com.

Time to self-reflect
By turns harrowing, grotesque and sly, Gillian Wearing's videos reveal a pioneer whose own identity is always in the frame
Of all the terrible names for an art movement that we critics have come up with in the modern age, surely the YBAs, or Young British Artists, is the worst. Personally, I try never to use it. Even by the low standards of art-movement naming, YBA is in the nul points league. The only tangible qualities it describes are youthfulness and Britishness, both of which apply to millions of others. No style or shared ambition is evoked. No tone or direction. As a description of an artistic impulse, YBA constitutes an act of giving up.
Imagine if the Beatles had called themselves Four Young Men from Liverpool. Or if Pride and Prejudice were entitled The Story of Elizabeth Bennet as She Deals with Issues of Manners, Upbringing, Morality, Education and Marriage Among the Landed Gentry of Early 19th-Century England. Making it worse is the immovable problem of dating. What is to happen to all these young British artists when they grow up? Must they be trapped for ever in a cryogenically youthful artistic state? Should they buy toupees and purple hipsters, and spend the rest of their natural artistic lives pretending? Actually, the last thought cheers me up. Suddenly, I can see an excellently grotesque future for the art movement formerly known as the YBAs, whom I hereby rechristen the MABAs.
The ageing of Gillian Wearing from bouncy teenage video activist to melancholy middle-aged voyeur certainly makes for compelling viewing at the Whitechapel Gallery. Since winning the Turner prize in 1997, Wearing has maintained a conspicuously low artistic profile. We haven't seen nearly enough of her. As a YBA, she was more thoughtful and complex than most of her peers. As an MABA, she remains complex, but has added true blackness to her palette. When I say that Wearing's work has become creepy, I mean it as a compliment.
Her Whitechapel show is not quite big enough to constitute a full retrospective, but it features most of her best-known pieces and successfully traces a career arc. The front of the show is loaded with the dark video pieces with which she made her name. The second half has more of the photographs and scary identity swaps that have interested her of late. All the way through, in all media, she probes the differences between the outsides of human beings and the insides. The mask v the mind. How you look v how you are.
It's an interest that begins innocently here, with the famous video of her dancing energetically in the middle of a shopping centre in Peckham in 1994. Because there is no music to be heard, most people who walk past her think they have a dancing crackpot in their midst. Thus, the real subject of the piece becomes the reaction of the passers-by, not the dancing artist.
Dancing in Peckham was made a decade or so before the arrival of the iPod, so one way to understand the work is as an impressive piece of societal prescience. Not only are we watching the invention of the silent disco, but back in 1994, when all we had was the Walkman, Wearing was envisioning a world in which parts of the crowd would cut themselves off from other parts in cocoons of private music.
At first, it's a happy enough process: you would need to be hard-hearted indeed not to enjoy her enthusiastic frugging as she tackles Donna Summer in her head. But the happiness soon wears off. By the show's second piece, a re-enactment by Wearing of her grandmother's comatose state in a wheelchair, we are roaming through the dark and sticky internal territory of other people's problems.
Most of the videos at the Whitechapel have a wrist-slitting intensity to them. Walk into one booth and a mother is slapping her daughter, yanking her by the hair as the poor girl cowers in her underwear. Walk into another booth and a respectable-looking middle-aged man with the voice of a child is remembering seeing his first cock in a mirror. Run away from that and you crash straight into a scene of a gang of violent men bullying a shabby-looking loser who wants to play with them.
Do you remember that bleak soap opera that Channel 4 used to show, called Brookside? It was set on a suburban Liverpool estate and was so relentlessly harrowing that it ended up getting dropped. Well, that's the tone here. I found Bully, the film about the loser set upon by the gang, so painful to watch that I had to cower against the wall. It brought back instant memories of supporting Reading FC in the 1960s and travelling to places such as Swindon, where bands of unmuzzled skinheads would get you down on the ground and kick you.
If I'm making all this sound overly gritty, then I am doing Wearing a disservice. This is life behind the mask, yes, but distorted into weirdness. Each of the films is shown in a wooden box that mimics the blank, behind-the-scenes appearance of a stage set. The clever presentation adds to the intensity, but encourages you to be suspicious. What is real here, and what isn't? Bully turns out to have been filmed during a method acting class. The gang and the loser are pretending. As with most of Wearing's best pieces, artifice has become a path to the truth.
That said, I climbed out of the nether regions of the show into the brighter, poppier stuff displayed upstairs with some relief. If the films downstairs are the equivalent of the unedited rushes of Big Brother, the photo works upstairs are the same subject edited into sexy highlights. We begin with a set of those catchy and influential images from the early 1990s in which Wearing asked scores of anonymous bystanders to write down their thoughts. A black policeman holds up a card reading 'Help'. A City banker admits: 'I'm desperate.' A pony-tailed loner with a harshly tattooed face tells us: 'I have been certified as mildly insane.'
In the same ballpark, but scarier, are the sweaty video confessions presented in three small booths that feel like the confession boxes you find in Catholic churches. Fretting and mumbling inside is a parade of unhappy people in horrible masks, all of whom answered a newspaper advertisement placed by Wearing that is also the title of the work: 'Confess All on Video. Don't Worry, You Will Be in Disguise. Intrigued? Call Gillian…'
A man in a hairy Neanderthal mask tells us about the time he picked a scab from his face and put it in his boss's pizza. A girl in a deformed one-eyed mask remembers how she drugged the man who was two-timing her, robbed his house and stole his credit card. Without the masks, this would be regulation confessional psychology, courtesy of Channel 4. With the masks, it moves into Hans Bellmer territory and grows florid and grotesque.
Thus, Wearing is confirmed here as a pioneer of what came to be known as reality TV. The crowd is offering up its secrets. Masks are being penetrated. Fifteen seconds of fame awaits us all. Including, of course, the artist herself. All the way through the show I had the feeling that she too was hiding somewhere behind other people's identity changes and the continual unmasking of strangers. Works like Sacha and Mum, where the young girl is slapped by an alternately angry and tender parent, sound an autobiographical note.
Sure enough, the last stretch of the show is explicitly about Wearing and her family. In a series of disturbing self-portraits, she puts on an assortment of expertly created prosthetic disguises and becomes her own mother, her father, her grandmother and her younger self at various ages. Particularly impressive is the transformation into her own brother, with his top off, achieved with a full-length body suit and a frighteningly successful face mask.
Up to this point, the message of the show had been glum but straightforward: dark things lurk behind the human mask. But with the adoption of the identities of the entire Wearing family, the artist has moved onto more haunting terrain. Brookside has turned into Psycho.

Q: Database for highway bus network I'm creating a database to store highway bus system. Basically, those buses are used by people who travel from one city to another. Depending on the departure city and the destination city, a person may have to take several buses to get to their desired destination. It's very similar to public transit system. The main difference is that the buses are run by several different companies and the database should allow an application to query the company information base on departure and destination city. Lets say user wants to travel from Rome to Vienna and it requires to take 3 buses to get there. By providing Rome as departure city and Vienna as a destination, my application would generate a query that returns a result like - Company1 (Name, Address, Contact Number), Company2(Name, Address, Contact Number), Company3 (Name, Address, Contact Number).
So Far, I have come up 4 tables :
Company - id,name, companyid, address, ph#

City - id,name

Bus - id,companyid,stopid

Stop - id, cityid

From there, I'm not sure what more tables to add so that my app can run queries for trips that requires to take more than one bus. I appreciate for your input.

A: The tables and attributes you need are determined by the functional requirements you have. So, if you just need information about buses, the companies operating them, and the cities where they stop, your tables might contain enough information. If your requirements become more complex (or if there are requirements that you didn't explicitly state because you think they go without saying), some information might be lacking.
There is one formal flaw in your design. I assume that your id attributes shall contain a unique key for each record. If this is true, then you will have no more than one record for each bus, so only one stop can be associated with each bus. Also, you won't have more than one record for each stop, so only one city can be associated with each stop. So, even if each bus is considered to connect only two cities, you wouldn't be able to express the from-to-relationship.
There are two ways to fix this. If, when going from A via B to C, you don't care whether it's actually the same bus connecting them, it would suffice to define
Bus - id, companyid, originid, destinationid

and to omit the Stop table. That way, a traveler could get all available connections from Rome to Vienna, but for a chain containig Florence, wouldn't know whether to change buses there or just quietly to keep sitting.
If you want your Stop objects to describe an itinerary, they would have the structure
BusStop - id, busid, cityid, sequence

where the sequence attribute would count, from 0 or 1 upwards, the cities touched by this bus.
Another thing your model might be lacking is the notion of distances or travel times. There might be a connection from Rome via Stockholm to Vienna, but I doubt it would be very attractive. Airlines sometimes offer that kind of zig-zag route, but for buses it might be impractical. A similar observation holds for waiting times for the connecting bus. Going from Rome to Vienna via Florence, Venice, Klagenfurt, and Graz might be nice, but if it means waiting 2 days at each of these places for the next bus, using a bicycle might be a good alternative. Requirements like these might lead to drastically more complex data models.

Vatican-Ukrainian diplomatic relations
Vatican-Ukrainian diplomatic relations. The Vatican maintains diplomatic relations with various states (currently 180). In November 1918, after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Pope Benedict XV (Giacomo Della Chiesa) issued a directive calling for the establishment of friendly relations with all the nations of the empire (including Ukraine) that had formed independent states. Prior to that, in April 1918, he had sent A. Ratti (later Pope Pius XI) as an apostolic visitator to Poland and Lithuania to study Ukrainian affairs. Relations were maintained through the apostolic delegates in Constantinople, Washington, DC, and Rome before Mykhailo Tyshkevych arrived in February 1919 and was formally accredited as a consul to the Holy See from Ukraine (he had been sent by the government of the Directory of the Ukrainian National Republic). He was succeeded by Rev Franz Xavier Bonne; Petro Karmansky represented the Western Ukrainian National Republic. In 1920 Ratti was succeeded by Giovanni Genocchi as apostolic visitator to Ukraine. He was never permitted to visit Soviet Ukraine, and carried out his duties from Poland. After the consolidation of Soviet power in eastern Ukraine and the conclusion of the 1925 concordat with Poland, which implicitly recognized Polish control over Western Ukrainian territories, the Vatican cut off formal diplomatic relations with Ukraine until Ukraine's renewed independence in 1991. Archbishop A. Franco became the first papal nuncio to Ukraine in 1992. (See also Italy, Ukrainian Catholic church, and History of the Ukrainian church.)

Q: Using std::find to start from a certain value What I would like to do is to start an std::find through a vector from a certain place inside the vector
std::vector<int>::iterator it;
for (int a = 0; a < myvector.size(); a++){
    it = find(myvector.begin() + a, myvector.end(), myvector.at(a));
    std::cout << *it;
}

I can't simply add 'a' in the find command. How would I achieve the same effect?

A: If you want to search for a value after it first occurred you could try this:
auto it2 = std::find(
    std::next(std::find(std::begin(myvector), std::end(myvector), val)),
    std::end(myvector), val);
}

it first finds the first occurrence of the value, and starts searching again from the next position.
You could use std::next()
to increment an iterator like:
it = find(std::next(myvector.begin(), a), myvector.end(), myvector.at(a));
