Fresno State professor who bashed Barbara Bush won't be disciplined – Trending Stuff
October 10, 2020 March 12, 2020 by LWN
A Fresno State University professor who celebrated the death of Barbara Bush in a profanity-laced rant on Twitter will not be disciplined, the university's president said in a statement late Tuesday.
In a note to the "campus community," Joseph Castro said that English instructor Randa Jarrar's comments about the late first lady were "insensitive, inappropriate and an embarrassment to the university," but "are protected free speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution."
Castro added that Jarrar would remain on leave through the spring semester, "which she had previously requested before this incident."
PETITION TO FIRE FRESNO STATE PROFESSOR ATTRACTS THOUSANDS OF SIGNATURES
Jarrar drew outrage when she tweeted hours after Bush's death on April 17 that the wife of one president and mother of another was "a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal." She added, "F— outta here with your nice words."
Jarrar also said she was happy that "the witch is dead" and bragged that she wouldn't be fired for her remarks because she had tenure.
"I make 100K a year doing that," she told one Twitter user. "i[sic] will never be fired. i[sic] will always have people wanting to hear what I have to say."
PROFESSOR WHO TWEETED ANTI-BARBARA BUSH COMMENT APPLAUDED AT ARTS FESTIVAL
In his letter, Castro wrote that the university's action "is an issue of free speech and not related to [Jarrar's] job or tenure."
A change.org petition calling for Jarrar to be fired had garnered more than 45,000 signatures as of Tuesday evening.
"Our duty as Americans and as educators is to promote a free exchange of diverse views, even if we disagree with them," Castro wrote near the end of his letter. "At Fresno State, we encourage opinions and ideas to be expressed in a manner that informs, enlightens and educates without being disparaging of others."
Jarrar grew up in Kuwait and Egypt and moved to the United States after the Gulf War, according to her university faculty page.
She describes herself in her Twitter messages as an Arab-American and a Muslim-American woman.
In an email to New York magazine Tuesday, Jarrar said that she "absolutely" stood by her comments about the Bushes.
"The Bush family — including Barbara Bush — supported policies that harmed and destroyed the lives of millions," she wrote, adding "I am not the only person who has stated the belief that Barbara Bush was a racist. But women of color routinely have their tone policed, their justified anger painted as hatred, and their criticism of injustice framed as racism toward white people."

I was working more on this one
like the FM/phaser pads and synths, drums could pop a bit more though. do like the chord progression. the resonany little whistle sounding thing kinda stands out to me. drums are kinda pushed back in the mix, you could get away with a lot more high end than you currently have
Thanks, that was helpful, i agree with you.. wasn't very happy with drums power. and the "wistle thing" stands out too much in some parts
maybe do a breakdown with just the chords/chord progression and stuff, then make the drop a single chord, bass and drums. If the drums are going to be one of the only things you hear they'll have to be mixed differently to stand out, then mix them back in with the chord progression and see if they're chunkier.
Will be checking out tracks here in a couple of hours with a nice cool beer
In the meantime, I've worked a lot on this prog trance track, hope you like

This is an interesting piece, love the little square leed in break one and the way the pluks creep into it.
At 2.40 I was hoping for it to have more groove which I think could be achieved with more side chain (sorry!) and some nice rhythmic delay on the pluk
MSE - thanks for the advice on the deep house track Ill get onto it

I agree on the drums, at the mo they are a bit too much of an after though so Id say re-work them

the lead is a bit loud and kinda stands out where it should be snuggled in the mix a bit more. just sounds slightly off to me. it also seems to be a bit squashed over compressed like? the pryda snares are cool too though. it's a very solid idea though for sure, I like the atmosphere

My wife and I have had the pleasure, agony, elation, disappointment, amazement, and disbelief in what we have experienced in the hundreds of meets we have competed in, directed, worked at, and observed. In brief, I can safely state that from the positive to negative, we have seen it all.
My perspective goes back before the organization of powerlifting as an official Amateur Athletic Union sport. In the early 1960s it was no more than a group of guys that decided to get together on a Saturday morning at a storefront gym or the local YMCA and take on those from another group of trainees in a specific list of lifts that everyone agreed to attempt.
The so-called Odd Lift Contests would include the bench press and squat in that order, with another one, two, or three lifts to follow. Dependent upon those involved, their strengths, weaknesses, and preferences for certain lifts or exercises, the other competed lifts might include the deadlift, strict or cheat curl, and/or upright row.
The form for all and any of the lifts could vary from exceptionally strict to rather half-assed and loose, again dependent upon what the organizers agreed to. Some family members, non-training friends, and others from the Y, garage, basement, or storefront gyms in the area might serve as spectators with audience members frequently requested to "come on up here" to serve as judges, loaders, and spotters. A lot of weight was lifted and I recall that despite some very heated rivalries among participants and the very few "real" gyms in the area, fun and camaraderie ruled the day.
There has been a lot of revisionist history in the sport of powerlifting, with some who control historical materials rewriting the importance of their own place within that history or forgetting that like most human endeavor, there were a lot of bumps in the road. As a new sport that was viewed as a definite threat to the established power and popularity of Olympic Weightlifting, the autonomy of powerlifting caused hard feelings and a bit of anger in some quarters.
It took further growth and the passing of a few more years after the 1964 establishment of powerlifting as a "real sport" before it was in fact granted autonomy from Olympic lifting and those who controlled the weightlifting activities in the United States. Yet at powerlifting contests which attracted little attention past the involvement of the competitors, their friends and family members, the actual competition was almost always marked by displays of good sportsmanship and support for every lifter's efforts. One of the oft-repeated comments I have made is that every lifter at every contest I was involved with received the vocal and emotional support of every other lifter on the platform with them or observing from the audience.
Everyone understood the importance of a 135 pound or 60 kilo squat that marked a young lifter's second contest attempt because we had all been there at some point in our progress, facing off with what was at the time, a big lift and major challenge. Everyone cheered and no one had the attitude that "This guy isn't lifting very much" because it was understood that for that specific lifter, that specific weight was in fact an important obstacle that was to be overcome.
Nico Louizos entered last year's Titex-East Rockaway Classic as his first meet and this was his second!
Perhaps "historical" is a misnomer but our driveway contests hark back not only to the odd lift contests of the early 1960s, but to the "gym challenges" I was also involved in as a member of the late and exceptionally influential Tony Pandolfo's group of trainees at his small storefront gym. There is always a "lifting guy" in every neighborhood who obviously trains with weights for one reason or another and Tony was that guy. His Mr. America class winner physique was a true selling point for weight training long before it was acceptable or fashionable and he influenced run of the mill guys like me and big time contest winners like Dennis Tinerino with his passion and enthusiasm. On a number of occasions, Tony would say, "If you're not working on Saturday, some guys from (and he would name another of the very few hole-in-the-wall gyms or group of guys who trained in a basement together) are coming over to have a deadlift and curl contest. We need you to get some points for the team." These types of planned or impromptu contests and the "more organized" Odd Lift meets at one of the Manhattan or Brooklyn YMCAs had a profound influence on my growing affection for strength training, very much augmenting the actual physical and emotional benefits I received. Being involved in the planning, organization, promotion, and actual completion of state and world championships was rewarding but I always came back to the enjoyment that came with the smaller, local type of endeavor. Linda Jo Belsito and what might have been four or five other national or international level female lifters were joined by one of our male middle aged trainees who wanted to try a contest for our first "driveway meet" in the mid-1980s. Sanctioned, adjudicated by international card holders, and providing the best equipment of the era, we had a wonderful and successful time and the driveway filled up with neighbors and strangers passing by who saw the activities. That we had the grill going and everyone showed up with a homemade dish that would feed three or four others, made the entire day a huge success. The two driveway meets we have had at our East Rockaway home have featured a number of unusual things, especially for a nine-lifter contest: a fantastic and original arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner by the TRI-CEPS, three of our professional jazz musicians who prepared and played a specially composed saxophone version of our wonderful anthem; official meet tee shirts, and awards for all including Best Lifter trophy (thanks to Siegel Engraving).
I had Beast Metals of Sacramento, California fashion our custom hammer type awards for the second year. We gave away 274 burgers and 280 hot dogs in addition to Starbucks of Rockville Centre's contribution of the presence of their baristas and store manager and gallons of iced coffee. With multiple ER Racks, Titex barbells and plates in the warm-up room and the support of our very experienced and capable spotters and loaders, we obviously had the capability of running an all-day long meet for sixty or more lifters. However, noting the zeal and unbridled support that comes from lifting in front of family and friends, our very small, intimate gathering for Kathy and me, was much more rewarding.
There is a place for big-time, major powerlifting contests. I never thought that giving prize money was a good idea and the so-called professional powerlifting contests did not make significant inroads. I still don't have a great deal of comfort with the "mega-meets" that run 100-150 lifters per day on three or four platforms operating simultaneously. I understand and accept the place that these types of meets occupy within the structure of the sport, giving many lifters and especially inexperienced lifters an opportunity to compete. This also allows the specific sanctioning organization a chance to enhance their membership rolls which remains the lifeblood of the sport in the U.S. As importantly the huge contests allow the meet directors what might be their only opportunity to make a profit. Meet directors are allowed to make a profit for their time and effort, and let's be very frank; if every meet was a money-losing proposition, there would be an immediate vacuum created with an absence of contests and the loss of both the sport and its supporting industries. There is nothing negative about meet directors making money while providing a service and for many if not most, hosting a very high volume of lifters is the only way to accomplish this. I am just one individual who does not enjoy those types of contests, even when they are exceptionally well run.
Very much like the college athlete who enjoyed the more personalized experience of high school sports, many, and I am one of them, cherish the small, underpublicized contests lacking hype and exposure that still brings together lifters that primarily hail from the local area. Any rivalry that exists between gyms or among lifters is usually heightened in a positive manner, pushing one to greater effort in front of friends and family. It is much more difficult to "sell" the importance of each lift or at least multiple lifts, with two or three platforms running simultaneously, even with skilled and entertaining announcers like Gino Biancheri on the microphone. Of course, I had my reminder of all of the above this past weekend while directing, announcing, coaching, expediting, and judging at our purposely "over-titled" 2nd Annual TITEX-EAST ROCKAWAY POWERLIFTING CLASSIC. Our contest was so much fun and so motivating and positive for the six young, inexperienced lifters involved in the 2015 edition, that Kathy and I did it again. We hosted nine lifters this time and in addition to the four brand new to competition, four were in their second meet, with last year's contest their first and only. Will Martorana, a high school junior-to-be, was "the old hand" since he had last year's meet and a fourth place showing in the USAPL Massachusetts State High School Championship to his credit. Each novice lifter had family, friends, and the support of our extended lifting family and patient group behind each attempt. As we did last year, there was some ironic observation that Linda Jo Belsito, Frank Savino, my wife Kathy, and me as coaches, have mentored so many world and national champions in powerlifting and strongman events as well as a large barn-full of professional and Olympic athletes.
As we would with World Champions, as coaches we gave our best and agreed that coaxing top performances out of the young and new-to-the-sport held the same enjoyment if not more, than watching World Champions and/or NFL players compete under our tutelage. This of course is the advantage of providing smaller or just plain "small" meets; it allows local lifters and their families the opportunity to be involved without traveling, spending money for food and lodging, and meeting with other relatives and friends to cheer on their own and the other lifters they have probably met at one time or another. It is much easier to foster a sense of head-to-head competition, even at a relatively low level of development when everyone's attention is focused on lifters that are known to the audience and have emotional ties to them. Needless to add, the sense of kinship is high when most of the lifters are acquainted although as a general rule, I will return to my earlier statements that at most contests across six decades of involvement with powerlifting, there is an atmosphere of support and good will.
Big meets, small meets, three platform contests, and those held at large indoor arenas, hotel ballrooms, or convention centers all have their place in the sport of powerlifting. No matter what one's preference is, my hope is that everyone involved does their part in making every contest experience enjoyable.

Death. It is something we all face. Or do we?
Just ask the nearest Nord what he thinks of the end of life, and you'll likely be treated to a horrific story of blood, bone and viscera, of courageous deeds and heartbreaking sorrow. Carnage notwithstanding, there may be even more to death than the average Nord warrior realizes. New evidence suggests a life beyond the battlefield, where a valiant Nord may live forever, downing mead and engaging in contests of strength and skill. But in order to fully understand the possibility of a Nord's eternal life after death, one must first reexamine the legends surrounding that most wondrous of warrior's retreats -- Sovngarde.
According to the ancient writings and oral traditions of the Nords, going back as far as the Late Merethic Era, there exists a place so magnificent, so honored, that the entrance lies hidden from view. Sovngarde, it is called, built by the god Shor to honor those Nords who have proven their mettle in war. Within this "Hall of Valor" time as we know it has no meaning. The concepts of life and death are left on the doorstep, and those within exist in a sort of self-contained euphoria, free of pain, suffering and the worst malady a Nord could suffer -- boredom.
What, some may ask, does the entrance to Sovngarde have to do with death? Everything, according to a series of ancient parchments recently discovered in the attic of a deceased Nord's home in Cyrodiil. What at first seemed to be a series of love letters was later found to be a correspondence between one Felga Four-Fingers, a medium of some note, and the ghost of a Nord warrior named Rolf the Large. According to the parchments, Rolf had spent his entire life searching for the entrance to Sovngarde, without success. He was returning home to his village of Skyrim when he was waylaid by a band of giants. Rolf fought bravely, but was quickly killed, and the giants proceeded to play catch with his head. Amazingly, all of this was seen by Rolf in ghostly form as he drifted away from the scene, soaring upwards into the heavens, where he finally arrived… in the magnificent hall of Sovngarde!

Provides Awesome protection even though the back of the case(clear) seems to scratch a bit. I would give case a 5 star if it wasn't for the scratching on the rear of the case. Regardless, it still looks good and will keep the phone safe. !! Definitely a need to buy for the IphoneX.

The case fit the iPhone X perfect, it's a bit hard to take off but that's a good thing because I like a very secure fit. The case has a slim profile relative to other Otterbox cases but it does add a tiny bit of bulk relative to the Apple leather case. However, the tradeoff is that the phone feels very secure and safe in the Otterbox. The iPhone X is a bit heavy and this case will ensure that the impact can be absorbed well. Lastly, I had the original iPhone with a case similar to this, it brought back memories because the leather bottom looks like the black bottom of the original iPhone.
great fit and price, will protect phone from drops.
This case is great for protection freaks that don't want a very thick case, I mean sure this case is thick but not very thick. The case looks and feels great.

HOWEVER the clear back will scratch easily when dropped.
The case is very easy to get on and is highly protective, only down side it looks like it'll be hard to take off but I highly recommend this case.

Alistair Darling believes the worst is over
Alistair Darling, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is the latest heavyweight to join a growing band of supporters who believe the UK economy is over the worse. Reiterating his view that the UK economy will move back into growth towards the end of 2009 he has been very vocal at the G8 summit of worldwide financial leaders. Slowly but surely there appears to be an improvement in confidence and forecasts for the future have definitely improved over the last few weeks.
However, one potential problem which the UK government may have to contend with prior to and during the election is the need to rein back heavy government investment into the economy and start repaying the significant debt which has been created. We are talking literally trillions of pounds of debt taken on by the UK government at a time when the UK economy was literally on its knees. As we have mentioned on a number of occasions, this will need to be paid back as soon as possible and will certainly mean higher tax rates in the short term - taking in both direct and indirect taxes.
If the UK government can navigate through the next 12 months this could go down as one of the all-time great recoveries in the UK economy.
Indian economy continues to power ahead
In direct contrast to the worldwide economy as a whole it has been revealed that while growth in the Indian economy has slowed it is still far higher than many had expected. The first three months of 2009, compared to the same period last, confirmed the Indian economy grew by 5.8% although this was down from the 8.6% annual growth seen in the first quarter of 2008.

UK Banks £2 billion richer after UK Supreme Court ruling
It is believed that UK banks had put aside £2 billion to cover what would have been a massive compensation bill if the UK Supreme Court had ruled in favour of the Office of Fair Trading. However, as we covered in some of our earlier articles today, the UK Supreme Court has decided that the Office of Fair Trading does not have the jurisdiction to rule whether overdraft charges in the UK banking se...

Libor hits a new high
Even after news that the US bailout had been voted through there seems to be a general lack of trust and confidence in the money markets. Indeed we saw the Libor (London Interbank Offered Rate) hit a new high today just as authorities around the world had been praying for a return of confidence. It seems that the US bailout has yet to have the impact which many had forecast. So what next?
Pension protection fund under pressure
The UK government is under serious pressure to make large-scale changes to the U.K.'s pension protection fund which has revealed a deficit of £1.23 billion for the current year. This is a massive increase on the £517 million deficit last year and calls into account the way the system has been set up and whether it is a long-term viable option for the UK government and UK regulators.
How will we know the recession has ended?
As UK consumers and UK investors become more and more confused regarding the UK economy, many people are now wondering how we will know the recession has ended. Will there be one sign, a number of signs or will it be a combination of events?
In basic terms, the UK session will end once the UK economy starts to grow rather than shrink as we have seen over the last few months. However... Read More

Usher Hall in Edinburgh is one of Scotland's main venues for the performing arts. We were part of the team responsible for a major refurbishment project that saw the addition of a modern glass wing and extension.
We created the Usher Hall bespoke chandelier for the newly constructed spiral staircase. This staircase links the original building with its new extension, and the chandelier is designed to be a luminous 'pin' that connects old and new.
The cylindrical concrete construction of the stairwell presented us with a considerable design challenge. The nature of the materials and purity of the design meant that it was difficult to fix lighting in a way that would appear architecturally integrated.
We developed the idea of a single shaft of light forming the central axis of the spiral - a suspended lit structure that solved issues of cable routing, general lighting and emergency lighting.
The 13.8m high chandelier uses lengths of fluorescent tubes to create a linear glow of light. Due to the overall height of the stair, the suspended structure had to be built in six sections to accommodate lamp lengths, cable routing and access for cleaning and maintenance.
The fluorescent sections are encased within double acrylic cylinders; the inner one is frosted while the outer layer is clear with etched glass to catch the light. Each length is separated by smaller sections of frosted glass rings uplit with LEDs that add sparkle and introduce variation along the length.
We designed the concept for the chandelier and developed it with bespoke manufacturer Mike Stoane Lighting in collaboration with architects Law Dunbar Naismith.


Soil health is trending, there's no doubt about that! But perhaps expensive soil tests aren't your cup of tea.
Look no further than the Soil Decomposition Index: a simple, straightforward, citizen science approach to evaluating soil health that utilizes buried tea bags. Learn more about this novel approach to soil health from Dr. Marshall McDaniel, assistant professor of agronomy at Iowa State University, in his recent Iowa Learning Farms webinar titled Burying Tea to Dig Up Soil Health.
Microbes are the engines that drive the biology of our soils, especially the cycling of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Under the umbrella of soil health, McDaniel points out that biological indicators are the most sensitive to changing management practices, so this tea bag concept is built upon evaluating one aspect of the biology going on right beneath our feet.
The tea serves as food for the smallest soil microorganisms, including bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi, that are able to squeeze through the tiny openings in the mesh tea bag. As the tea is consumed over time, the bags are dug up and weighed, providing an indication of the biological activity within the soil, particularly the decomposition activity of the smallest soil organisms.
In each field, McDaniel's team is comparing two types of teas side-by-side: green tea, which simulates a high quality (low C:N) residue, and rooibos tea, which simulates a lower quality (high C:N, nitrogen-limited) residue. Based on how much of each tea is remaining, you can calculate a Soil Decomposition Index value. Values range from 0 to 1, and the closer to 1, the healthier the soil is! Using two teas side-by-side lets you calculate a standardized Soil Decomposition Index value which accounts for temperature and soil moisture variability, as well as allowing results to be readily compared between different sites – so you can compare apples to apples.
Check out the full webinar, Burying Tea to Dig Up Soil Health, on the Iowa Learning Farms webinars page, to hear more details of this novel soil health test and preliminary results from on-farm studies evaluating the Soil Decomposition Index with cover crops.
For those active on Twitter, you can follow the McDaniel lab, @ Soil_Plant_IXNs, as they continue to evaluate this unique tea bag concept and many other aspects related to soil-plant interactions and agricultural sustainability.

Empathy and Attachment
Perhaps the best portrayal of empathy was published in 1759 by the Scottish moral philosopher Adam Smith in The Theory of Moral Sentiments. He said that our capacity to empathize with the whole range of feelings of others provides the basis for our development as morally sensitive human beings. This is because moral relationships are based upon sentiments - emotions and feelingful attitudes between people.
We always have available at least two perspectives - our own and that of the other person. Usually we assume both perpsectives during an encounter; we do not lose sight of our own point of view merely because we are empathetic toward the other. But sometimes our own point of view clashes so strongly with that of the other person that we restrain our empathy.
Smith shows an awareness of both sides of the empathetic relationship. His book might have been written only last year, so fresh are its insights. He explores the occasions in which normal persons empathize with, or distance themselves from, others. For example, he notes that when we encounter a person who is in a fit of rage, we are unlikely immediately to empathize by feeling similar anger, but we may feel exasperated with him instead - especially if we do not know what provoked him so.
"But we plainly see what is the situation of those with whom he is angry, and to what violence they may be exposed from so enraged an adversary. We readily, therefore, sympathize with their fear or resentment and are immediately disposed to take part against the man from whom they appear to be in so much danger."
And on many other occasions as well, we do not feel exactly as the other person feels, for we have a different moral appraisal of the situation and do not fully approve of her emotional reactions. According to Smith,
"We sometimes feel for another a passion of which he himself seems to be altogether incapable; because, when we put ourselves in his case, that passion arises in our breast from the imagination, though it does not in his from the reality. We blush for the impudence and rudeness of another, though he himself appears to have no sense of the impropriety of his own behavior."
What should we do if we find ourselves as a spectator reacting in a very different way than our companion who is suffering? We should try to empathize, to understand his situation more deeply.
Even so, however, Smith admits that we are unlikely to feel anything close to the misery of our companion, though both of us may wish that our responses were more similar As the suffering person is aware of the discrepancy between his feelings and ours, he will probably try to flatten his emotions, "lowering his passion to that pitch, in which the spectators are capable of going along with him." Thus, he too tries to empathize by placing himself in our situation and imagining how he would be affected if he were only one of the spectators. Smith recognizes empathy as the most social of all human capacities.
"How amiable does he appear to be, whose sympathetic heart seems to reecho all the sentiments of those with whom he converses, who grieves for their calamities, who resents their injuries, and who rejoices at their good fortune! ... And for a contrary reason, how disagreeable does he appear to be, whose hard and obdurate heart feels for himself only, but is altogether insensible to the happiness or misery of others!"
Smith points out that we have difficulty empathizing with people who are in love. However, we try to be tolerant of their emotion, since
"though it may be ridiculous, it is not naturally odious; and though its consequences are often fatal and dreadful, its intentions are seldom mischievous. And then, though there is little propriety in the passion itself, there is a good deal in some of those which always accompany it. There is in love a strong mixture of humanity, generosity, kindness, friendship, esteem..."
"The sentiment of love is, in itself, agreeable to the person who feels it. It sooths and composes the breast, seems to favor the vital motions, and to promote the healthful state of the human constitution; and it is rendered still more delightful by the consciousness of the gratitude and satisfaction which it must excite in him who is the object of it....
"We only regret that it is unfit for the world, because the world is unworthy of it..."
Smith also explores our sentiments when we are a third party, witnessing a conflict between two others, one of whom feels aggrieved over a supposedly abusive action by the other.
"Before we can adopt the resentment of the sufferer, we must disapprove of the motives of the agent, and feel that our heart renounces all sympathy with the affections which influenced his conduct."
The Theory of Moral Sentiments deals with the circumstances under which we, as spectators, should (or should not) empathize with the feelings of one person toward another. We should sympathize and aid him in retaliating only when he is a victim requiring defence or when action is necessary to show everyone that similar offenses will not go unpunished in the future. In particular, whenever an injustice has occurred and injury was done thereby, it is our duty to intervene to restore justice.
Also, Smith supports the norm of reciprocity. "Beneficence and generosity we think due to the generous and beneficent... The violator of the laws of justice ought to be made to feel himself that evil which he has done to another..."
I have presented tidbits of Smith's book to illustrate his kind of moral philosophizing. Notice that in all of the passages quoted, Smith describes the emotional responses that he believes normal adults display in particular circumstances. He goes on throughout his book, describing the kinds of moral judgments people make about each other whenever we appraise the character of others. He does not call it "immoral" to react in very different ways from the normal responses he describes, but he implicitly questions the wisdom or perspicacity of those who do so.
This seems fair enough. When we call someone, say, impulsive, flighty, self-centered, or withdrawn, we are judging his character on moral grounds, without necessarily suggesting that he actually deserves a reprimand for violating any rules. His moral sentiments are emotions that reveal his disposition toward others. They offer clues as to how he will actually behave in regard to serious issues, and they may prompt others to admire or shun him informally. Inappropriate emotions may not land anyone in jail or cause him to lose his job, but he may not be invited to certain dinner parties because of them. Thus the appropriateness of emotions reveals aspects of one's moral character.
Still, not all philosophers agree that sentiments or emotions can properly be judged on moral grounds at all. They reason this way: We cannot choose what we feel, so feelings cannot be ethical obligations. Hence feelings do not count as morally relevant.
Arne Vetlesen, however, has defended the view that I have been advancing, pointing out that we often find it necessary to explain our feelings and justify having them. Although we do not exactly "choose" what to feel, there is always a feeling tied up with every judgment, and if we reflect on the judgment we may change the way we feel. Moreover, we take responsibility for our feelings and our justifications, and we require other people to take responsibility for theirs. If they do not, we consider this a moral failure.
Identification and Cathexis
I want to consider here the varying intensity of our subjective involvement with others. Obviously, we do not devote ourselves equally to everyone we encounter. At the lowest level of involvement, we view some people virtually as physical objects; a woman may be no more than a hand that reaches out of the toll booth to receive our coins. Or we may observe a woman running and think, "She's swift for someone her age," without even considering why she is running or what she is thinking about.
At the next higher level of involvement we engage in what symbolic interactionists call role-taking. "She is running for the bus. The driver has not noticed her."
With Smith, we proceed to a more feelingful level of interaction. Here is our brother, suffering on the rack, and we experience sympathetic pain similar to his. All empathy includes role-taking, but perhaps we can say that not all role-taking involves much empathy, for empathy is largely a matter of emotion or sentiment.
Still, not all empathetic experiences are equivalent. When we watch a movie, as in our real social lives, we may empathize with all the characters, insofar as they display their emotions, while nevertheless taking sides and "rooting" more for one group or one character than for the others. When we are emotionally committed in this way to a character, we say that we "identify" with her, or with her group.
Identification is perhaps just an especially intense level of empathy and, like empathy, it is strongly affected by our moral appraisal of the person - by our multi-dimensional perception of her character. We may recognize complex negative and positive qualities in a person and respond more to certain aspects than others. A given person may seem adorable to me, but a reprehensible snake-in-the-grass to you, though we agree on the objective facts as to what he has done.
This brings us to the subject of attachment. Not only do we perceive people in different ways, but we may form strong emotional attachments (which old-fashioned psychoanalysts called "cathexes") or aversions to particular individuals. Symbolic interactionists would say that the first "significant others" whom most of us cathected were our parents. Subsequent attachments and antipathies occur throughout life as a result of mysterious psychological forces that no one can explain or predict. It is useless to suppress such passions. They happen uncontrollably, just as we fall in love uncontrollably, obsessively. Nevertheless, when it has happened, we would not choose to un-do it. Every cathexis makes us more human, even while making us more vulnerable. I am particularly interested in the cathexes formed toward fictional characters.

One-time Premier League winner's arrogant response to near-death experience
Ed Angeli
Jeffrey Schlupp? Anyone? No, didn't think so – but Wikipedia apparently suggests that the Ghanaian contributed to Leicester City's title triumph last season.
And for that reason, the full-back/winger hasn't really got the right to such a response when writing off a £190,000 worth car. Apparently the former Brentford loanee said:
"I ain't bothered. Just get the car recovered.
Oh well, I've got three other cars to choose from."
Jeffrey Schlupp
Sorry, pal, but who do you think you are?! We all know you've got a back-up motor due to the generosity of the Foxes owners, but, still, bore off with your arrogance. Particularly when you write off a car as beautiful as this… #RIPLambo
SEE ALSO: Will Gary Lineker stand by his latest shocking tweet?
It looks like a bloody Batmobile, and there's no way Bruce Wayne would treat it that way. Aside from the car given to the title winner, the 23-year-old also reportedly owns a Range Rover Sport, and a Mercedes sports. Bloody hell; I'm 23, and pretty proud of my Vauxhall Corsa.
Schlupp was a second-half substitute in the Foxes table topping Champions League group victory over Club Brugge, as Leicester almost look certain to do the impossible; win the Champions League and get relegated in the same season… Dilly-ding-dilly-dong ?
SEE ALSO: Jamie Vardy's new house is the most un-Jamie Vardy thing ever
Whatever happens to Leicester, and Schlupp, whether the Ghanian stays at Europe's most unpredictable club, or ends up with Tony-I've-got-a-cap-stiched-to-my-head-Pulis, at West Brom; there's no room to be acting like a prick on the M1, and coming back to reporters with arrogant responses.
The winger has come back fighting over Twitter, claiming he never said such a thing…
Typical papers. There was no police and I definitely do not have 3 other cars lol don't believe everything you read ✌🏾
— Jeffrey Schlupp (@Jeffrey_Schlupp) November 23, 2016
But, it doesn't really matter?! You still wrote off a car in terrible fashion, mate. Come out on social media apologising rather than acting all defensive!
Have a look at the starting XI who should be on the Ballon d'Or shortlist…
GK) David De Gea
Been carrying Man United for two years now. Ok, it didn't get the Red Devils into the Champions League last season, but it did deliver an FA Cup, and make United at least 'semi-respectable'. Best 'keeper in the world as well. Enough said. Source: 101 great Goals
DF) Javier Mascherano
There simply isn't a better 'ball playing' centre-back. The Barcelona man was his usual vintage brilliance in Barca's La Liga triumph, and helped Argentina to the Copa America Final. Source: You Tube
DF) Laurent Koscielny
Ok, people might question this one. But, hear me out. The Frenchman was brilliant in the summer for an injury hit back four. And was instrumental in helping the hosts reach the final. The Gunner was also solid for Arsenal, and ultimately was key to the reason behind them finishing above Tottenham... again. Source: Independent
DF) Gerard Pique
Is there a more consistent defender? Ticks all the boxes for being a quality centre-half. The Barca man delivered his usual brilliance in La Liga last season. Hugely important to why they only conceded 29 goals. Source: Goal
RM) Henrikh Mkhitaryan
With the talent in Bundesliga - ahem, Bayern Munich - and to still be voted the best player in the league amongst all those chaps, shows how brilliant the Armenian was last season. Let's hope he find his feet over in England. Source: ArmNews
CM) N'Golo Kante
For Kante's two sidekicks to be on the shortlist, and for the Frenchman not to be seems very harsh. The best midfielder in the Premier League last season, and just as important to Leicester winning the league as Mahrez and Vardy's goals. Source: VBet News
CM) Ivan Rakitic
How the Croatian doesn't get more plaudits we're not quite sure. People say Sergio Busquets is the overlooked Barca midfielder, but Rakitic's quality was so evident when playing for Croatia in the summer. Massively important to both club and country. Source: Perform Group
LM) Angel di Maria
The Premier League's biggest cop out. But, still so effective last season in France. The Argentine delivered 19 assists in 29 games in Ligue 1, as well as playing a part in Argentina's Copa America final run. Quality player. Source: Batngoal
RF) Karim Benzema
Ok, ok, didn't feature in France. And an absolute weapon if you ask us. But, the Frenchman still was the joint-fourth-highest scorer in La Liga, with 24 goals. And helped Real Madrid to a Champions League success... not exactly bad. Source: Getty Images
CF) Harry Kane
No, the Tottenham striker isn't in the side for his effective corner kick ability. The England international had such a prolific season, being the top scorer in the Premier League with 22 goals. Why should Aguero get in over him? Source: ibtimes
LF) Alexis Sanchez
Voted best player in Chile's successful Copa America victory, and the Gunner was basically to blame for Lionel Messi's two-minute retirement. Surely, that's enough to be on the shortlist? Source: Mirror

Puja-Anushthans are performed for a very specific requirement and for a specific problem. Puja-Anushthan can be conducted for various reasons like – to usher success, improve financial conditions, ease marital problems, solve plaguing issues that stem from the horoscope, to ward off evil and so on. The Puja-Anushthans are therefore performed for precise reasons and should be given immense respect and importance. The various reasons for which specific Puja-Anushthan are performed.
Lord Shiva represents the aspect of the Supreme Being and is considered to be the destroyer of evil and sorrow. He is the source of fertility in all living beings. He destroys evil and protects good. He protects devotees from evil forces. It is done for the fulfillment of your desires.
This is called the – King of Yagyas – and is meant for avoiding untimely death and increase longevity. This homam is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The yagya is performed to get victory over – MRTITYU – which means death. The focal point of worship during this Yagya is Lord Shiva. This yagya is a lifesavingyagya and it generates the divine positive shield around the person for whose welfare this yagya is organised and that spectrum of positive energies and vibrations couteract all the negative and evil forces and save the person from misfortunes.
This yagya is for fullness of life and averting dangers. This yagya is done for Lord Shiva on behalf of the person who orders for it. Lord Shiva represents the aspect of the Supreme Being and is considered to be the destroyer of all evil and negative forces. He protects devotees from evil forces & possible dangers.
Our lives are controlled and affected by the movements of the planets as they revolve around the Earth. Every planet emits radiations into space. These radiations pass through the Earth's atmosphere and reach us in varying quantities.Problems arise due to the complete absence or excess of these radiations. Therefore, Puja-Anushthans are done to ward off the ill effects of planets and their respective ruling deities are appeased for positive results.
According to our spiritual texts, marriage is an extremely joyous and holy occasion and the married life of the couple depends on the success of this sacred alliance. People at large get easily intimidated on realizing that a certain marriage prospect is manglik (has a manglik dosh in his or her horoscope). Therefore, before this wonderful lifelong association is solemnized, the horoscopes of the bride and groom should be analyzed for positive effects and glitches that need to be corrected, manglik and amanglik combinations and their long-term effects have to be considered to make sure that the future of the couple is happy and contented.
If the planet Mars (Mangal) resides in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, and 12th house in an individual's natal horoscope, that person is said to be manglik. Accordingly, 40% of the population is generally manglik. This occurrence causes problems and hurdles in the person's social and personal life.
It is often said that Devrin, Rishi rin, and Pitrurin affects an individual for his complete lifetime like a shadow. Therefore, the scriptures have the words like PitruDevoBhava, AcharyaDevoBhava, and MatruDevoBhava.
Astrology allows all kinds of debt to be placed in the natal horoscope. Rin or pending duties can be of a variety of types like, Pitrurin, Swarin, Matrurin, Streerin, Rishtedaririn, Ladki-Behenkarin, Nirdayitarin, Ajanmarin, and Prakritikrin.
Every day, the planets affect us in positive and negative ways because of which we cannot ignore their importance in our lives. There are various ways by which the negative effects of a specific planet can be deterred. The problem can be tackled and curbed by addressing the effects of the planet itself.
Therefore, the nine planets have to be appeased according to the scriptures from time to time.
Even though science has progressed drastically and has made noteworthy achievements in a variety of fields, there still are areas that medical science has not been completely able to comprehend.
Even though they are physically fit, many couples have not yet been able to conceive a child. While medical science does not have an answer to this problem, JyotishShastra does!
Astrology can help determine the reason for this anomaly with the help of the couples' horoscopes. On gaining insight into the 'reason', remedies can be administered accordingly.
Due to the Kaalsarp Dosh, the individual faces numerous problems. A person's destiny is twisted into a Kaalsarp Dosh, when all the planets in his horoscope are edged between Rahu, which is considered a serpent's head and Ketu, which is considered a dragon's, tail, hence the name. Nothing tends to work out for the person on time due to which all happiness and satisfaction remains absent.
Life is a struggle. Struggles lead to problems. Problems create hurdles for progress. Moreover, these hurdles can be endless. Just like the hurdles, even their solutions are available and endless!
Therefore, one must very carefully pay attention to every problem and treat it at the right time. Our services in this field are not only popular but also trustworthy and respected.

From the very beginning, the band sired a succession of classic LPs – including the now seminal "Dear 23" and "Frosting on the Beater"– that served as joyous rejoinders to a generation mired in grunge. And yet, for much of their history, the band has been playing a game of genre tag semantics, dodging facile and limiting descriptions like "power pop" and "retro pop" — terms which initially greeted their 1988 debut, "Failure".
"There are so many influences and styles woven into what we do and we've never made the same record twice, not even close to it,"adds Auer.
Following a professional and personal split between Auer and Stringfellow at the end of the '90s, the second act of The Posies' career began with 2005's triumphant reunion effort, "Every Kind of Light". The group's first studio album in nearly a decade was a musically plangent and lyrically politicised album — informed heavily by the foibles of the Bush Administration and the Iraq War – that reintroduced The Posies to the world in grand fashion.
The band released an acclaimed album "Blood/Candy" in 2010, recorded in Spain in a furious ten day session.
In the ensuing years, the band members pursued various projects on their own.
Ultimately, the magic of The Posies lies in the special chemistry between Auer and Stringfellow. Like any great partnership, it's one that's had its ups and downs, stops and starts, over the years. But those experiences have simply served to strengthen the bonds between them.
With SOLID STATES, their 8th album, the Posies marks dramatic changes in the lives, the music, the evolution of the band.
The title is a contradiction that reflects life: we see life as an unbroken thread of continuity; but it's really a swirling mass of fragments… moments appear to be solid, but they vanish. Change is constant, and we spend energy trying to hold on to a particular way of being or an experience, even when we know it's futile.
Jon and Ken, each active producers in their own right, created this music in their respective home studios, by sending tracks to each other, adding drums later in the process on top of electronic soundscapes. Ken certainly is more of a keyboardist these days, and in fact on the album it's rare that a song is carried by a strumming guitar and Jon is found here playing more synths and keyboards than ever before. The guitar is used more as a lead instrument or effect. The drums were added in sessions in L.A. with Frankie Siragusa, and in Kansas with Kliph Scurlock. Kliph was the drummer in the Flaming Lips for years, and shares a love of the band Big Star with Jon & Ken. Frankie is yet another producer, having mixed Ken's last solo album "Danzig in the Moonlight"; his first instrument was the drums. Frankie also mixed several of the songs on SOLID STATES and will be joining the band for the tours.
The album was mixed by Tony Hoffer (Midlake, M83, Air, Beck, Belle & Sebastian etc), Willie Linton (who mixed a favorite song of Ken's, "God's Whisper" by Raury), Keith Armstrong and Frankie.
The album opens with "WE R POWER" ... a resistance anthem ... in fact, much of the album comments on the corruption and abuse of power that oppresses us all while bearing a smiley emoticon on its face. "WE R POWER " is a kind of 60's organ flavoured electropunk; we feel the Posies coming at us from a different perspective than ever before.
"UNLIKELY PLACES" and "ROLLERCOASTER ZEN", both whose lyrics were written after the passing of Darius, explore the uncharted personal depths and unknown quantities of dealing with such profound bereavement.
"SQUIRREL vs. SNAKE" is a state of the 'disunion' in the USA and beyond... the disharmony, the threats to intellectual freedom, and the cynicism and lies we take for granted now in the age of doublespeak.
The last song "RADIANCE" closes SOLID STATES on a note of hypnotic uplift, a psychedelic indie spiritual of sorts, bursting with driving rhythms and a mélange of instruments, voices, and noises not found on any Posies release previous.
Of course, the Posies still retain their legendary melodic abilities, their trademark vocal harmonies and their lyrical agility. The band has always been exploring, growing. The multiyear gaps between albums are typically spent in countless other projects that bring new skills, sounds, experiences and people to the picture. The band will present the album live in a new format, incorporating laptop elements along with guitars, keyboards and drums. As artists, the band feels it's their duty to take risks and explore.
Solid States will be released on heavyweight vinyl LP, CD and digital on British indie Lojinx on the 29th April 2016 in Europe and on 6th May in Australia and New Zealand. A pre-release tour edition, with bonus download tracks, will be available exclusively at live shows in Europe throughout April.


Joining organizations and being part of a bigger community helps a person grow. It helps a person increase their leadership skills, communication skills, and also their friendship skills. It allows for students and professional staff to know each other and to build a bigger network in their educational process and also in their work field. It's important to make friends because often students come to college without their high school friends and often are alone. It's nice to venture out and meet people with different personalities. The different personalities that you meet help you to learn how to handle certain people in a way that won't be disrespectful or even handle them in the best way possible. Life is always going to throw punches at you and by learning how to handle different personalities and situations, it also helps you learn about yourself.
The Time to Experience Life!
Hi, my name is Jenny Calderon and I am a sophomore at CSU Channel Islands! I am majoring in psychology and minoring in biology. My ultimate goal is to become a pediatrician. I realize that it will take years for me to reach that goal, so in the meantime I try to accomplish multiple shorter-term goals. Before you get to college you plan on just going to classes and maybe working if possible. However, once you get there you'll realize how much universities have to offer you and how many unique opportunities you are presented! For example you can join a club or start your own, study abroad in different continents like Africa, or conduct research with professors! So don't waste any time once you are in college; take advantage and do everything you can! It's the time to experience life!!


A messianic psalm—The Lord will deliver the Messiah from terror, pestilence, and war—The Lord will give His angels charge over the Messiah and deliver Him and honor Him.
1 He that dwelleth in the asecret place of the most High shall abide under the bshadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I atrust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the asnare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy ashield and bbuckler.
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the adestruction that wasteth at noonday.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the awicked.
11 For he shall give his aangels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
13 Thou shalt atread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the bdragon shalt thou trample under feet.


Directed by Bennett Miller, Foxcatcher is the true life story of Olympic gold winning wrestler brothers Mark Schultz, played by Channing Tatum and David Schultz, played by Mark Ruffalo, and their subsequent relationship with multi-millionaire John du Pont.
Steve Carell plays du Pont, a secluded but determined heir to the du Pont family fortune in love with the sport of wrestling and obsessed with the idea of making America great again on the world stage.
The Shultz brothers are hired by du Pont to come to his vast 800 acre estate "Foxcatcher Farm" to help train US wrestling Olympians.
The film focuses primarily on the strange relationship between du Pont and both Schultz brothers, specifically Tatum's Mark.
The obvious thing to say about the film is just how bleak the tone is coupled with a deliberately restrained pacing. With minimal music and few loud spectacle moments, Foxcatcher is a film that's drama is to be found in the subtlety tense and edgy scenes between the talented trio of cast members dominating the films initial buzz.
Throughout Foxcatcher, several themes of American sport culture, sibling rivalry and family legacy is touched upon to provide the film with the depth required to elevate it above convention and mediocrity.
Carell gives an unnerving, spine-chilling and physically transformative performance, one that you certainly wouldn't expect from the same man responsible for such films as Evan Almighty or The 40 year old virgin.
Ruffalo is equally as impressive, breathing loving warmth into every scene with his brooding family comes first style.
With Carell and Ruffalo both nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively, they are naturally the ones garnering most attention for their roles and while they are both very impressive, it's Channing Tatum who cements the film together, treading a very careful line between a proud and edgy yet emotionally challenged, vulnerable man.
Despite impressive performances from its cast, a profoundly deep insight into American competitive sport and a remarkably well achieved pitch black tone, Foxcatcher does suffer from the results of its own ambitions.
The story of du Pont and the Shultz brothers is definitely an intriguing one but that doesn't mean it will make for an endlessly entertaining film and will leave some viewers wanting in terms of spectacle and raw drama.
Without the very strong performances of its cast you might be left with a slightly dull film that may make you nod your head in appreciation at its strong performance's and insightful dialogue but the loud spectacle moments that are necessary to keep your eyes transfixed on the screen are in short supply.
Despite this it still makes for interesting viewing and to find three performances that are so diverse, physical varied but equally as impressive is something that sets Foxcatcher away from just another run-of-the-mill drama.

Q: jest.mock not working with Javascript test and Typescript module My mocked utilFunction isn't being used and adding logging to the factory function shows that it's never called. I've already tried searching for jest.mock not working with relative paths and jest.mock not being called for Typescript thinking that it might be related to the mix of JS tests and TS source code or to the different module paths used in the source vs test code.
Code being tested:
// src/foo/fooModule.ts
import { utilFunction } from '../util'

export const foo = () => {
  return utilFunction()
}

Test code:
// test/fooModule.test.js
const { foo } = require('../src/foo/fooModule')

jest.mock('../src/util', () => {
  return { utilFunction: () => 'mocked' };
});

describe('fooModule tests', () => ...)

A: The jest.mock call needs to be moved above the imports:
// test/fooModule.test.js
jest.mock('../src/util', () => {
  return { utilFunction: () => 'mocked' };
});

const { foo } = require('../src/foo/fooModule')

describe('fooModule tests', () => ...)

My last experience working with Jest prior to this was in a project where the tests were also written in Typescript and babel-jest was used. babel-jest includes babel-jest-hoist which hoists the jest mocks above any imports automatically, so I didn't previously have to worry about the ordering.

The company previously expected adjusted fiscal 2021 EPS to be in the range of $8.32 to $8.50.
For fiscal 2021, the company now expects operating cash flow to be in the range of $8.65 billion to $9.15 billion, compared with $7.65 billion to $8.15 billion previously; continues to expect property and equipment additions to be $650 million; and now expects free cash flow to be in the range of $8.0 billion to $8.5 billion, compared with $7.0 billion to $7.5 billion previously.

The holder meets exactly what it has. It holds cables that do not fall to the ground from the table. Processing is good and I recommend it to others.
Óptimo, para quem, como eu, não pretende colar suportes de cabos à secretária.Mola forte.A zona onde os cabos passam é feita de boa borracha.
