His nominee for secretary of education is a proponent of school vouchers, using taxpayer funds for nonpublic schools, clearly unconstitutional. Another cabinet nominee is the wife of the Senate majority leader. So much for "draining the swamp."
He wants to end, or at least amend, military agreements, which could cause worldwide unrest.
He was very critical of Hillary Clinton for her ties to Wall Street, but he nominates Wall Street insiders for secretaries of the treasury and commerce. They want to bring back supply-side economics, which proved disastrous under Reagan and George W. Bush.
He wants to end trade agreements which have lowered prices for the average U.S. consumer. It was pointed out that the only times in the last 100 years the Republicans have controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress were in the run-ups to the Great Depression of 1929 and the recession of 2012. He proposes tariffs, not caring that these were the major cause of the 1929 economic crash.
If his course is followed, the only people who will be better off in four years will be the very rich. The rest of us are in for a rocky ride.

Feds have the last say
The opinion column ("Feds infringe upon states' rights with REAL ID," Nov. 13) from state Sen. Mike Folmer sounded remarkably like "the dog ate my homework."
Evidently, Pennsylvania has been notified that our driver's license will no longer be acceptable as proof of ID when visiting federal facilities as of Jan. 30, 2017, or when boarding commercial aircraft as of Jan. 22, 2018. The Federal REAL ID Act, passed in 2005, spelled out minimum federal standards for identification forms, including driver's licenses.This was promoted by the Department of Homeland Security, created during the Bush Administration.
The senator admits that it was his legislation in 2009 that intended to exempt Pennsylvania from REAL ID. The legislation finally passed after revisions in 2012. Thirty-nine other states had taken similar action. Now, lo and behold, the DHS wasn't kidding. Some of the "39" are "caving" to federal pressure and have complied, according to Sen. Folmer's opinion column.
As the author of Pennsylvania's non-compliant intentions, the senator -- rather than waiting to see if this will actually keep travelers grounded -- should be starting a discussion with DHS, instead of just being interested to "see what Pennsylvania does." The discussion should have been before we chose to ignore the feds, and the senator should be held responsible.
Postscript: Sen. Kim Ward and others are introducing legislation to repeal the REAL ID Nonparticipation Act of 2012 (Act 38). Pennsylvania is now one of only six states that are non-compliant or have been granted an extension.

Zabludowicz Collection Invites offers emerging artists the platform of a solo exhibition and presentation event. It focuses on those without commercial gallery representation at the time of invitation. This publication surveys the first 24 Invites projects in this ongoing series.
It was a proposition from Ellen Mara De Wachter, who worked as a Curator at the Zabludowicz Collection from 2008 – 2013.
This publication brings together interviews with the artists by De Wachter and her successor, the current Exhibitions Curator, Paul Luckraft, supplemented with installation images of each show, allowing the archive of the first 24 exhibitions of this programme to be seen in its entirety.


Target has no intention of retreating from Canada, according to a memo sent to Target Canada employees after it was announced on Monday that Gregg Steinhafel was stepping down as the U.S. retailer's chief executive officer.
"The financial media is reporting we might dial back our Canadian expansion," reads the employee memo released to the Star.
The memo is signed by Kathee Tesija, executive vice president, merchandising and supply chain, for Target.
"Some have gone so far as to suggest we might close our doors altogether. No doubt, coverage like this creates anxiety for you and your teams.
"So I thought I'd send a note to put these rumors to rest.
In response to a question from the Star, Mulligan said Target is moving forward as planned with building stores.
"Target remains committed to the Canadian market. We recently announced plans to open nine stores this year, as well as a new store in downtown Toronto in 2016." Target opened 124 stores in Canada in 2013.
Steinhafel stepped down earlier this week after a year that saw the retailer not only lose nearly $1 billion, but also be hit by a data breach that affected 40 million customers.

Population, Ethnicity and Violent Conflict
Population, Ethnicity and Violent Conflict Tirtosudarmo, Riwanto 2006-12-10 00:00:00 Violent conflict is the most visible threat to the achievement of sustainable development in any society. The source of conflict is conventionally the warfare among countries. In the last fifty years, however, the cause for conflict has changed and been mostly related to the process of nation building in the post-colonial states in Asia, Africa and Latin America. In the new nations, conflicts on the choice of state's ideology are perhaps the most common, and if unresolved, often lead to the separation or partition of the respected nations. In this case, China vs. Taiwan and India vs. Pakistan are perhaps good examples in history. While ideology plays a critical role, it cannot be isolated from the influence of seemingly non political factors of demography and ethnicity. Majority-minority group conflicts are always related to the demographic composition of the population in which ethnicity, religion and economic classes are politically played out. In the aftermath of the Cold War, ethnic conflicts were unleashed. And they often led to the disintegration of nation-states. The breakdown of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and perhaps Indonesia are illustrative cases. Myron Weiner, Thomas Homer-Dixon and Milica Zarkovic Bookman are among the pioneers in studying the interconnectedness of demography, politics and conflict. Ethno-demographic composition and its influence in the politics of nation building generally has been overlooked in many theories on violent conflicts. This paper is an attempt to contribute to the discourse on the nexus of population and conflict by assessing the existing theoretical knowledge and its empirical evidence from the Southeast Asian region. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Population Review Sociological Demography Press http://www.deepdyve.com/lp/sociological-demography-press/population-ethnicity-and-violent-conflict-j9QNJUlzUr

Barry Callebaut publishes Forever Chocolate Progress Report 2018/19
Barry Callebaut sources more than 50% of its ingredients sustainably
The Barry Callebaut Group
51% sustainably sourced ingredients
Over 176,000 cocoa farms mapped on location and socio-economic data
26% of the farmer groups have systems in place to prevent, monitor and remediate
Carbon footprint reduced -6.7% despite increased production
Over 2.5 million shade trees and cocoa seedlings distributed
ZURICH, Dec. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Barry Callebaut, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality chocolate and cocoa products, announced today that in fiscal year 2018/19 it sourced 47% of the cocoa and 54% of the other ingredients it uses sustainably. This sourcing achievement is highlighted in Barry Callebaut's Forever Chocolate Progress Report 2018/19, its third progress report since the launch of its Forever Chocolate plan in 2016, tracking the Group's progress towards making sustainable chocolate the norm.
Our pilot project in Indonesia looks at enabling farmers to develop their farms into rehabilitated, diverse, professionally run farms.
Antoine de Saint-Affrique, CEO of the Barry Callebaut Group, said: "With over half of our ingredients coming from sustainable sources, we are well on track to have 100% sustainable chocolate by 2025. This is a great achievement and it demonstrates that sustainability is at the heart of our business strategy."
Pablo Perversi, Chief Innovation, Sustainability and Quality Officer, Global Head of Gourmet, of Barry Callebaut: "In the past fiscal year, we focused on big innovative projects that we know will create the tipping point for a sustainable chocolate supply chain. Our progress report shows that this focus is working, creating tangible impact on the ground for cocoa farmers, cocoa farming communities and all the other players in our supply chain."
Forever Chocolate is based on four ambitious targets, to be achieved by 2025, that address the largest sustainability challenges in the chocolate supply chain:
More than 500,000 cocoa farmers will have been lifted out of poverty[1]
Eradicate child labor[2] from the supply chain
Become carbon and forest positive
Have 100% sustainable ingredients in all products
Milestones achieved in 2018/19
100% sustainable chocolate by 2025
Of all the agricultural raw materials Barry Callebaut sourced, 51% were sustainably sourced in 2018/19. The Group sourced 47% (2017/18: 44%) of its cocoa beans through sustainability programs. This percentage includes the Group's Cocoa Horizons program as well as its customers' own programs and external certification organizations such as UTZ Certified, Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade and Organic. Furthermore, Barry Callebaut sourced 54% (2017/18: 44%) of its non-cocoa agricultural raw materials sustainably. This includes the use of sustainability certification schemes for the respective ingredients.
More than 500,000 cocoa farmers have been lifted out of poverty by 2025
In order to have more than 500,000 cocoa farmers lifted out of poverty by 2025, the Group is mapping the cocoa farms in its supply chain. As of end 2018/19, the Group had full data on 176,984 farms and their farmers entered into its Katchile database. This database provides key insights into the location, farm size, socio-economic and household data of cocoa farms and their farmers. This data allows Barry Callebaut to offer tailor-made advice at individual farm level on how to improve productivity via Farm Business Plans and Farm Services.
Over 16,000 farmers have adopted Farm Business Plans and 49,909 (+303%) farmers in Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Cameroon, Brazil and Indonesia have access to farm services, including coaching as well as other inputs such as tools, seedlings and finance. The premiums from the purchase of HORIZONS products generated CHF 15 million in funds (+40%). These premiums allowed more than 135,000 farmers to take part in programs focusing on improving their productivity and income. These premiums also financed child labor sensitization programs, training 27,448 farmers. Measured against the World Bank's threshold of USD 1.90/day, Barry Callebaut estimates that 184,623 cocoa farmers in its supply chain have been lifted out of poverty.
Eradicate child labor[3] in the Barry Callebaut supply chain by 2025
Barry Callebaut rolled out child labor monitoring and remediation systems in its direct cocoa supply chain that now cover 42 farmer groups, including 16,710 farmers, in Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana. Including the farmer groups that have monitoring and remediation systems in place administered by third parties (i.e. UTZ Certified), in total 26% of the farmer groups the Group directly sourced from in 2018/19 had systems in place to prevent, monitor and remediate child labor, an increase of +116%. 37% of the cocoa and non-cocoa volume Barry Callebaut sourced from third-party suppliers had equivalent child labor monitoring systems in place.
Barry Callebaut identified in the fiscal year under review 3,867 cases of child labor (-9%) in its cocoa supply chain. All cases involved children helping on the family farm that fell under the International Labour Organization's (ILO) definition of the worst forms of child labor. For all identified cases remediation is being prepared and for 2,333 of the reported cases remediation[4] has been activated.
Become carbon and forest positive by 2025
In pursuit of its target to store more carbon emissions than it produces by 2025, Barry Callebaut reduced in 2018/19 its corporate CO2 equivalent (CO2e) footprint from 9.10 million tonnes to 8.49 million tonnes in fiscal year 2018/19 (-6.7%), whilst achieving +5.1% volume growth.
The main drivers of this achievement were reduced CO2e emissions from land use change, reduced CO2e intensity in factories and reduced CO2e intensity in dairy products. The CO2e intensity per tonne of product also decreased from 4.45 to 3.92, and additional contributions from scope 3 insetting projects lowered this even further to 3.88 (-13%). Of the Group's factories, 17 out of 62 are now running on 100% renewable energy.
In Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana, the Group has mapped cocoa farms within 25 km from protected forest areas in its direct supply chain, in total 47,182. In addition, Barry Callebaut distributed over 1.8 million young cocoa seedlings in Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana. Furthermore, the Company distributed almost 750,000 shade trees for replanting in Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana. Through its support for the "Initiative For Sustainable Landscapes" (ISLA) project in Cote d'Ivoire, Barry Callebaut helped to protect 6,280 hectares of primary forest and restored 3,800 hectares of forest by removing illegal cocoa operations and allowing natural forest regeneration. The percentage of raw materials sourced by the Group demonstrated not to be contributing to deforestation is 37.6%

[1] Number of cocoa farmers lifted out of poverty measured against the World Bank's USD 1.90/day threshold for extreme poverty.
[2] According to the International Labour Organization, not all work done by children should be classified as child labor that is to be targeted for elimination. The term 'child labor' is often defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, interferes with their schooling and is harmful to their physical and mental development. Activities such as carrying heavy loads or using chemicals are considered as 'unacceptable forms of child labor' because they are physically dangerous for children.

Please refer to page 33 for an overview of remediation activities including i) individual remediation targeting the child ii) household remediation targeting the family of the identified child and iii) community level remediation.

Why Should I Care About Wild Bees?
Wild bees need YOU, and YOU need wild bees.
Plants + Pollinators = Food. It's that simple. While humans provide the farm labor to grow this food, bees do all the work to pollinate it. Without their efforts we would experience drastic reductions in the variety, quality, and quantity of fruits and vegetables available for us to eat. Many meat and dairy foods would also become scarce because bees pollinate feed crops such as clover and alfalfa.
Bee populations have dwindled worldwide in recent decades due to factors including habitat loss, disease, parasites, chemical use, and farming practices such as monoculture. We've made changes in land use and farming technology without considering how those changes affect the pollination process. We have ignored the needs of the bees. If we hope to continue enjoying the bees' free pollination services that produce our food, we need to do things differently. One of those things is to invite native bees back into our yards, gardens, and farms. That's why I became a wild bee advocate.
There are approximately 4,000 species of bees worldwide. Only 7 of those species are honey bees. The other 3,993 species are bees that don't make honey but DO help pollinate our food crops. They include bumble bees, sweat bees, leafcutter bees, mason bees, and carpenter bees. They live in the ground and in cavities in wood and rocks. Many of them are solitary, which means they are not part of a colony and tend to NOT be aggressive.
Why the focus on native pollinators instead of honey bees?
We have come to rely on the honey bee to produce our food, but this is not a healthy relationship for either party. Our wild bees are highly efficient pollinators that are adapted to our plants and our climate. In the case of the blue orchard mason bee, one female is estimated to be as effective as 100 honey bees when pollinating a fruit tree. This means it takes fewer wild bees to do the work and they are less expensive and time-consuming than a hive of honey bees. By learning their needs and supporting them, we can enable wild bees to naturally increase their populations and continue to provide us with essential pollination services and take some of the stress off of the honey bee.

'I'm not answering any questions': Awkward moment Michael Phelps shuts down a reporter who surprised him on live TV at airport on Rio return
Phelps was returning home to Phoenix with his fiancee and infant son
A reporter from a TV station approached him and tried to interview him
The swimmer clearly wasn't interested and asked the reporter for 'space'
Reporter Marc Liverman said several reporters were waiting for Phelps
He respects Phelps' reason but was surprised the athlete didn't stop
By Chris Kitching For Dailymail.com
Published: 03:45 EDT, 18 August 2016 | Updated: 10:57 EDT, 18 August 2016
Olympic hero Michael Phelps was involved in an awkward exchange with a journalist when he arrived back in the US from Rio.
Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time and one of the world's most famous athletes, shut down a reporter who attempted to do a live interview on a local TV morning show.
The 31-year-old swimmer, who won his 23rd gold medal in Rio, was with his fiancee, Nicole Johnson, and their three-month-old son, Boomer, and made it clear he wanted a private moment with his family - creating an awkward moment for reporter Marc Liverman and the anchors back in the studio.
Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time with a record 28 medals, has been under an intense spotlight for more than a decade

Reporter Marc Liverman attempted to get an interview with Phelps at Phoenix's airport
Reporter Marc Liverman retweeted this tweet following his encounter with Phelps
Liverman told DailyMail.com he respects Phelps' reasoning and understands he had just traveled a long way from Rio, but was surprised he didn't stop and take at least one or two questions from media gathered inside the airport terminal.
Phelps, who has been under an intense media spotlight for more than a decade, was approached by the reporter from 3TV's Good Morning Arizona program as he walked through Phoenix's Sky Harbor airport on Wednesday morning.
Liverman and his cameraman tried to catch up to Phelps, and asked the swimmer how it felt to be back home.
Phelps, clearly not interested in stopping, told the reporter 'It feels good to be home' as he continued to walk away.
'She is battling to stay alive': Team GB sports presenter... Three US swimmers held by police at Rio airport over Ryan... Australian diver Melissa Wu overcomes the tragic death of... Member of Team GB is robbed at gunpoint in Rio: Stars have...
'What's the first thing you're going to do?' the reporter asked.
Phelps, wearing a polo shirt, shorts and a baseball cap pulled down, responded: 'I'm not answering any questions, guys. If you could give me that space while I'm trying to get my family home and safe I would appreciate that.'
With viewers watching at home, Phelps told the reporter to contact his agent to schedule an interview, as Johnson, 31, walked ahead of him with their son.
'I appreciate you guys coming, but I'm trying to get my family home safe and that's what matters the most,' he said. 'Thank you for understanding.'
Phelps leans in to kiss his fiancee Nicole Johnson as she holds their infant son Boomer
Cameras were always on Johnson, Boomer and Phelps' mother, Debbie, in the stands
Phelps said he is looking forward to typical father-son activities such as playing catch
Liverman congratulated Phelps on his performance in Rio and then threw back to the anchors, Scott Pasmore and Tess Rafols, in the studio.
'Some people might say, well, that wasn't very nice, but you've got to understand this guy gets mobbed probably every day of his life,' Pasmore told the audience.
In an interview with DailyMail.com, Liverman said Phelps is a public figure and had to be expecting some kind of media presence at the airport, a public place, after his record-setting performance in Brazil.
He said several reporters were waiting for the swimming great and approached him for comment, but he declined.
Liverman said he and his cameraman were recording live footage of Phelps walking through the airport, so he decided to ask questions.
The reporter said he respects Phelps' perspective and isn't angry with him, but was taken aback by his reaction.
'I don't think what we did was bad,' said Liverman. 'This is my job. I'm a journalist and my job is to ask questions and to be there and to get the story. I think we were polite. Once he said he didn't want to answer any questions I might have asked one more question as he turned to look at us and that was really it.'
Liverman said he didn't approach Phelps again as the athlete went to collect his baggage.
'We gave him his space like he asked for,' said Liverman, a Canadian from Montreal who was on the varsity swim team at the University of Western Ontario, and considers Phelps a personal hero.
'We at channel 3 and 5 have a tremendous amount of respect for Phelps,' said Liverman. 'He's been my hero since he started swimming, so in that way it hurts a bit.'
Phelps was once again one of the biggest stories of the Summer Games, boosting his career medal total to a record 28 after winning five golds and one silver.
The Rio Games were different for Phelps because they were his first as a father.
Cameras were always pointed at his fiancee, infant son and mother, Debbie, in the stands, and they had many requests for live and recorded interviews.

Phelps' son became a media darling after he was shown on live TV wearing protective headphones decorated in the stars and stripes.
At his final press conference in Rio Phelps insisted he was retiring from competitive swimming and was looking forward to spending time with his family as his son grows up.
Phelps, who spent a significant amount of time away from Johnson and Boomer while he was preparing for the Olympics, told reporters he is looking forward to typical father-son activities such as playing catch and attending sporting events with Boomer.
He also plans to work with his foundation and serve as a volunteer assistant coach for the swim team at Arizona State University.

Home » Dyslexia blog » Dyslexia Dictionary » What are Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD)?
Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) is an umbrella term that refers to dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and sometimes ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder) and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder).
These learning difficulties are specific, because they only affect certain areas of learning. This is in contrast to generalised learning difficulties, such as Down's syndrome.
Why not just use the individual term, like 'dyslexia'?
Conditions like these can often overlap. In fact, experts still don't agree on where one stops and another begins. For example, trouble tying your shoe laces is often used as evidence of dyslexia, but this could also be due to dyspraxia.
Professionals like assessors and SENCos may prefer to hedge their bets and use the broader term Specific Learning Difficulties, rather than labelling a child 'dyslexic' or 'dyspraxic'.


The Apostle Paul's letters; From Man or God?
In my last post we asked the question, "Were the authors of the New Testament (NT) aware that they were writing with divine authority?" The liberal will say "NO". They contend that the authors of the NT were writing occasional documents. These letters were never intended to have universal application much less carry divine authority. In fact, so they say, it was the later church that imposed upon these letters authority.
Thus, we looked at some internal Biblical evidence to see what the authors of the NT letters actually claimed. We examined Galatians 1:1 & 1st Thessalonians 2:13. Today we will view two more passages by Paul, namely, 1st Corinthians 14:37-38 & 2nd Thessalonians 3:6, 14.
The last part, even in the translation, is very clear. He says what he is writing is the Lord's commandment. The original Greek is τοu Κυρίου εστιν εντολη. If you don't know Greek let me break it down from you.
εστιν is the verb "to be". It is in the 3rd person singular, hence the translation "it is". The subject of the verb is "the things I (Paul) write".
Εντολη is the noun "commandment". Notice that earlier in the Corinthians letter Paul uses the same phrase to refer, unequivocally, to the authoritative instructions from God (1st Cor 7:19).
τοu Κυρίου is the noun phrase "the Lord". It is in the genitive case. In a basic sense the genitive case is your possessive case. We could translate it "The commandment of the Lord". Most likely in this context it is source, that is, "This is the commandment from the Lord". Regardless of whether you view it as source or possessive the point is the same. What Paul is writing he is claiming is not his words but the Lord's.
Also compare Leviticus 27:34, Deuteronomy 4:2, 11:26-28 to see how Paul is using the language of the Old Testament to refer to divine commands. Therefore, there is no question what Paul is claiming here. His letter to the Corinthians is on par with the same authority as if God were speaking to them Himself. It takes professional help to miss this point.
Next we want to investigate 2nd Thessalonians 3:6, 14. There are three points of consideration.
He uses technical terms that refer to apostolic tradition. These terms are "traditions" (παράδοσις) & "received" (παραλαμβάνω). For references to the former see 1st Cor 11:2; 2nd Thess 2:15, 3:6. For references to the latter see Rom 6:17; 1st Cor 11:23, 15:3-5; Gal 1:9; Phil 4:9; Col 2:6-8; 1st Thess 2:13; 2nd Peter 2:21; Jude 3. Thus, Paul is claiming that what he original taught them is apostolic tradition.
2nd Thessalonians becomes a prophetic judgment with a call to church discipline. He states that if someone doesn't accept what he is writing then the Christians are "not to associate with him". The word used is συναναμίγνυμι. The only other time this word is used in the NT is in 1st Corinthians 5:9-11 (twice). In that context Paul instructs the church to excommunicate (not associate with) the so called brother who is practicing sin. Therefore, the point is that Paul believes what he is writing to the Thessalonians is of such authority that if someone disregards it they are to be disciplined by the church. Nobody is going to balk if I don't like a certain commentary but Christians would hold me at a distance if I didn't accept apostolic testimony.
The very language he uses directly implies an authoritative status. Note the phrases "we command you", "if anyone does not obey what is written in this letter".
In the last two posts we have looked at four Pauline passages (Galatians 1:1; 1st Thessalonians 2:13; 1st Corinthians 14:37-38; & 2nd Thessalonians 3:6, 14). In each passage Paul very directly claims to be writing with a certain type of authority. That type is none other than divine inspiration. In other words he believed that his words were actually the very words of God. Thus, they carried universal application and universal authority.
Maybe we should start practicing church discipline on those who do not accept the letters of the Apostles!!! What do you think?
I believe critics would say many have come after Paul that seem to speak with authority so how/when is the line drawn?
Billy, So you're saying the cutoff is Paul because he performed signs and miracles. However many have come after him claiming they have received prophecies and have even performed miracles possibly by the hands of demons even so they did. This is very difficult for me to wrap my head around because I am strictly a faith believer. I find many holes in the logical arguments and really can't get a grip on apologetics at all. Even when you've taught these types of subjects on Sunday night services I want to raise my hand at every point and question it but don't want to seem but I don't want to seem disrespectful or arrogant.
I gave two reasons in my first comment for the cutoff. Doing miracles is not sufficient. One also has to meet the requirements to be an Apostle. Thus anyone performing miracles today, whether they are from Satan or God, cannot qualify to be an Apostle.
Secondly, I understand this can be difficult at times but it is necessary. I would disagree with your definition of "faith". Biblical Faith is not opposed to reason or evidence, in fact they are essential qualities to it.
When you profess Jesus as the Christ and someone asks you "Why do you believe that?" you immediately have to venture down the road of apologetics. Sure not everyone needs a lot of technical apologetic material to believe and that's great. But a lot of people do need evidences and these evidences can help boost our faith.
The only other requirement you stated was to have walked with Jesus which Paul did not do?
I'm not saying faith is opposed to reason I'm just saying I don't understand the reasoning, this is likely due to my career where everything I do has to be backed up by hard evidence. I believe by faith alone cause Ive seen God work in my life. So evidence is not essential for me personally but I think it would be extremely helpful for me when talking to other people. For that reason I would really like to understand apologetics.
The Apostles had the ability to perform miracles and pass that ability to others. However, those that received this ability from Apostles were unable to pass it on. So, when the last person died with the ability.....then miracles ceased, Do you think this is correct ?

Why is a key a central element in so many themed weddings? Apart from obvious aesthetically pleasing value, antique, vintage, skeleton and other keys carry tremendous symbolic power on multiple levels. Just like wedding and marriage, keys are related to transitions, freedom, responsibility and power.
If you think about a key wedding theme, you might find a lot of ideas right here, on this page. You can use them in all stages of your wedding, as part of design on your stationary, from save the date cards to thank you notes, as decoration or favor at bridal shower or wedding reception, or wherever you want, you are limited by your imagination only.
There are several ways to incorporate keys in the wedding stationary. You can obviously use images of keys as main graphic elements or parts of decoration, maybe as decorative borders or something. You can also use a silhouette of the key in recently so popular laser cut invites. And of course a real key can be attached to the paper. If you are inclined to this idea, you can get dozens of keys for almost no money at the local keysmith, because he almost always has several defective keys which are of no use to him and he'll probably be happy to collect them for you, if you ask him soon enough.
As you can see on the wedding invite above, a key can be fused with other wedding themes, like black and gold or art deco or vintage, ..., just like a word key, it's interchangeably used with explanation or solution as noun, important or vital as adjective and in many other contexts. In general it is always representing something important. It's hard to find something more important than wedding, right?
To send somebody a key carries strong message. It is the ultimate expression of trust, what is clearly shown with an old custom of giving the symbolic keys of the town to somebody who did something extraordinary. The person who holds the keys, has access to something, including the city (just remember how were gates of the towns locked at certain hours not so long ago).
We can find numerous examples of phrases containing word 'key': keys to success, health, love, under lock and key (meaning safe), being in key (in tune with something), decide to go low key (not to attract attention), etc. If someone is very excited about something we often say he is keyed up.
The key from very beginning represented wealth and power. At first it required a lot of skill and was very expensive to make a lock and key, especially from metal (first keys were wooden). If somebody wanted to show up, he just made a walk on the streets jingling with keys. It was obvious he had a lot influence, because keys alone were worth a fortune, not to mention a safe and a hidden treasure inside.
Key to one's heart belongs to this category and this phrase inspired several popular music hits. Of course it is also used as a wedding theme. Ancient and skeleton keys are popular part of rustic and vintage themed weddings. They also work great in cyberpunk and various metallic colored oriented parties.
We can buy them in bulk and use as inexpensive yet eye catching decorative elements in the reception, on tables, walls, hanging down the chandeliers, as part of entertainment (games at showers or bachelorette parties, for instance), and they are of course very popular as wedding favors.
There are several ways to use keys as souvenirs for your wedding guests. They can be just part of decor or keepsakes with practical use. Using them as stylish bottle openers is definitely one of the ways to explore.
Classic look and sturdiness of these copper alloyed key shaped bottle openers convinced many happy couples to give them as thoughtful wedding favors which look great at various styles of weddings. So far they got only positive reviews what is another reason to consider including them in you wedding story as well.
If you like to explore similar possibilities of using key shaped items at your wedding, we made a full article about keys as wedding favors.

Q: Writing to an Android display from ndk Writing directly to the framebuffer no longer works. Is there anyway to write to the display in the NDK?  I might use ANativeWindow but that requires an existing surface. Is there a better way? Or is the only way to create a surface, natively, and then use ANativeWindow?

A: The display is owned by SurfaceFlinger and Hardware Composer, so unless you're planning to halt the Android framework you will need to work through them.  (See the graphics architecture doc for more details.)
If you're developing a stand-alone command that is running as "shell" or "root", and you don't mind using non-public interfaces, you can just ask SurfaceFlinger for a window and draw on that.  As of 5.0 "Lollipop" the old GLES tests were updated to work this way.  See this answer for pointers; the San Angeles demo is illustrative.
If you're developing a regular app, you have to create a Surface and render to that through ANativeWindow.  Regular apps aren't allowed exclusive access to the displays.
