I recently listened to a podcast titled "Embrace your quiet side" by Andrea Ferreti on Yogaland. I recommend this podcast to everyone :) In that episode Andrea interviewed Susan Cain, who you might know from her famous TED talk called "Power of Introverts". It has had more than 16 million views. She also wrote a book called "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" which was on The New York Times Best Seller List. This episode had a powerful effect on me because I see myself as an introvert, thus it was great to listen to how I can become a better yoga teacher, even as an introvert.
After graduating from college I have had several jobs where I had to demonstrate leadership. So I have been slowly learning how to become a better guide and mentor. I have been on a journey to discover my leadership style. I learned quite early on that I had to be true to myself, thus my leadership style is quieter than most. I naturally don't have a very loud presence, or an overbearing personality. I don't stand out in a crowd. At first I tried to be someone who I was not. It was hard and did not feel natural. During this process I learned to accept who I am, and tried to embrace what I have, rather than try to fake who I am not. I learned that I could still be a great leader by being myself. After several years of working for NGOs leading field trips in South and Central America, plus leading adventure bicycle treks, I decided to become a yoga teacher. It wasn't hard translating my years of experience to my new career as a yoga teacher.
Don't try to be someone who you are not. You can turn on your extrovert side, but still be who you are. Never lose your authenticity or your true self. I think this is extremely important. It's all about being confident in who you really are, and that is also one of the major concepts in yoga. Know yourself, and don't pretend to be someone else. Find your own leadership or teaching style.
Even if you are an extreme introvert, if it is for a greater cause or for something you are deeply passionate about, you can become an extrovert. It becomes easier to switch to your extroverted self if you have the proper motivation. For example--Yoga. If you are passionate about yoga, it will be easier for you to teach to your students. You may not feel shy talking or teaching in front of group because you care about the topic. Or if it is for a greater cause, you feel the magnitude of the project is more important than remaining inside your comfort zone.
Just because you are a teacher, or have a leadership role, it does not mean you have to be extroverted ALL THE TIME. You can switch it on and off depending on the context. For example, if you are a fitness instructor you may have to switch on the extroverted side of your personality when you are teaching, but that does not mean you have to be an extrovert before and after the class when you are talking to your students. Or when you are outside of that setting.
In the podcast, Susan Cain mentions research that shows introverted leaders often produce better outcomes than extroverted leaders. The reasoning behind it is because introverted leaders tend to be better listeners; they accept other people's opinions, are less dominant in conversations, and are very passionate about the subject. So introverted leaders tend to excel in very specific settings because they are passionate rather than because they want to be "The Leader", which is what extroverted leaders tend to be.
So, as an introverted teacher, I am better at connecting with individuals, better at building relationships, and better at being compassionate and empathetic. Let's be honest, can you think of any past teachers or other people who have left a lasting impression in your life? Did that person relate to you and have an interaction that helped build a relationship? As an introvert we tend to naturally be good at listening, understanding, and being empathetic towards others. What a great trait that is for a yoga teacher.

که همه مشخصه های یک خانه را به هر واحد بدهد. پروژه زیست گاه (Habitat) ما تماما درباره باغها، و ارتباط با طبیعت، و خیابانهایی که بجای راهروها باشند، می بود. آن را پیش ساخت کردیم تا بدین ترتیب به رشد اقتصادی دست یابیم و تقریبا ۵۰ سال کشید تا به آنجا برسیم. جای بسیار مطلوبی برای زندگی کردن است. اکنون آن ساختمان جزء میراث فرهنگی است اما تعدادش بیشتر نشد. در ۱۹۷۳ نخستین سفرم را به چین انجام دادم. انقلاب فرهنگى شده بود. كل كشور را سفر كرديم، با برنامه ریزها و معمارها ملاقات کردیم.
which gives the qualities of a house to each unit. Habitat would be all about gardens, contact with nature, streets instead of corridors. We prefabricated it so we would achieve economy, and there it is almost 50 years later. It's a very desirable place to live in. It's now a heritage building, but it did not proliferate. In 1973, I made my first trip to China. It was the Cultural Revolution. We traveled the country, met with architects and planners.
the 19th-century low-rise environment. And with it, comes congestion, and we lose mobility, and so on and so forth. So a few years ago, we decided to go back and rethink Habitat. Could we make it more affordable? Could we actually achieve this quality of life in the densities that are prevailing today? And we realized, it's basically about light, it's about sun, it's about nature, it's about fractalization. Can we open up the surface of the building so that it has more contact with the exterior?


By way of the always excellent Pirated Thoughts comes news that the Supreme Court of the United States has refused to hear the Sherlock Holmes case. Well, with all the questionable evidentiary issues, I'm more surprised it took this long for it to hit the high court, really. All right, so which one is this? The Blind Banker? The Lady in Pink? The Noodle Incident?
Beginning in the 1880's, [Sir Arthur Conan] Doyle authored and published four novels and 56 short stories about the exploits of detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusted sidekick, Dr. John H. Watson. When Leslie Klinger, an author and co-editor of a series of short stories of new and original stories in the Sherlock Holmes universe, sought to publish his book. The estate of Doyle soon came a' knocking and stated Klinger must be licensed to use the characters and their likeness.
Doyle has been dead for eighty-four years, but because of extensions of copyright terms, ten of his fifty-six short stories continue to be protected from copying. All of the short stories and four novels were published between 1887 and 1927, but all of the collection except ten short stories have entered into the public domain as copyrights expired.
The Doyle estate, though, is pressing a quite unusual copyright theory. It contends that, since Doyle continued to develop the characters of Holmes and Watson throughout all of the stories, the characters themselves cannot be copied even for what Doyle wrote about them in the works that are now part of the public domain and thus ordinarily would be fair game for use by others.
You got that, right? The Doyle estate admits Sir Arthur started writing Sherlock stuff in 1887, but he kept writing about it later, and so copyright should extend backwards in time from the very last story all the way to the first story. Like an inverse tachyon pulse phased through the deflector dish. No, that sentence didn't make any sense, and neither did the other one.
Doyle's estate even tried to invent the idea of "rounded" and "flat" characters, Holmes and Watson being the former, which deserve to be protected backwards in time. It was… interesting.
Given the way Congress has been all too happy to retroactively extend copyright for dead people, ("to promote the useful arts and sciences," don't forget), I guess it was worth a shot. But Judge Richard Posner of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals had some choice words for shooting that particular theory down.
Lacking any ground known to American law for asserting post-expiration copyright protection of Holmes and Watson in pre-1923 stories and novels going back to 1887, the estate argues that creativity will be discouraged if we don't allow such an extension.
If [Doyle] loses copyright on the original character, his incentive to improve the character in future work may be diminished because he'll be competing with copiers, such as the authors whom Klinger wishes to anthologize.
Of course this point has no application to the present case, Arthur Conan Doyle having died 84 years ago.
Read the whole opinion here. It's Posner, so you know it's enjoyable.


An increased risk of fire in public transport vehicles and the associated international regulations (UN/ECE) require school buses, city buses, and coaches to be retrofitted with fire alarm systems to protect passengers.
firedect has developed an innovative and effective fire warning system designed to be retrofitted into buses, trucks, ferries, yachts, and armored vehicles. The system can continuously monitor up to 50 fire and smoke detectors and can be easily connected to the fire alarm display through a sensor chain, providing visual and auditory warnings to the vehicle operator in the event of a fire.
The firedect fire alarm display IM100 is designed to intelligently monitor the unmanned, closed spaces in vehicles. With the ability to connect several smoke and fire detectors, the firedect warning system is a reliable partner for protection against fires.
The IM100 monitors the status of up to 50 detectors and will alert the vehicle operator visually and with an audible alarm signal. Lights and buttons are integrated into the display unit. In addition to the power supply and the sensor chain inputs, the central fire alarm system also has a digital output for connecting external alarm devices or a telematics unit.
The fire alarm display IM100 is a proprietary development from firedect.
The IM100 is specifically approved for the automotive sector, fulfills the requirements of UN/ECE Regulation 107 and has already proven effective in local public transport. It is also possible for use in specialty vehicles, aerospace and maritime industries.

Yale University Will Require Students to Be Vaccinated Against COVID-19
Published April 19, 2021 • Updated on April 19, 2021 at 11:53 am
Yale University is preparing for the upcoming school year and undergraduate, graduate, and professional school students who plan to be on campus will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at the start of the fall 2021 semester.
The school also expects students who plan to study or work on campus this summer to be vaccinated as soon as vaccinations are available to them.
Yale plans to have a full residential program for undergraduates, on-campus studies for graduate and professional school students and a return to on-campus activities for faculty and staff, depending on public health conditions and guidance from public health experts.
The school said that a "small number of students may not be able to obtain vaccination appointments before they return to campus," and the school is making provisions to vaccinate them when they arrive.
"We also will make reasonable accommodations for medical and religious exemptions from vaccination," the statement goes on to say.
Yale is considering whether to require faculty and staff to be vaccinated to return to campus and expects a decision in June.
Wesleyan University is also requiring students to be vaccinated to return to campus in the fall.
Students returning to Wesleyan University in the fall will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the school.
Colleges nationwide are divided on vaccination requirements.
Some are requiring vaccinations, some are leaving the decision to students while others believe they can't legally require vaccinations.

Widespread throughout the British Isles. Also known from the Channel Islands. A Eurasian species, found to the far east of Russia. In southern Europe it is mainly montane.
Mainly a species of moor and sandy heath, possibly preferring wooded parts.
Univoltine. Females fly from early April to September, with males from late June to September.
A mining bee with primitively eusocial colonies. The females have a long life span, up to a year, and a daughter will often remain with the foundress in the maternal nest. The latter then has more developed ovaries and usually guards the nest entrance, whilst the daughter carries out most of the foraging. The nest is illustrated by Heide (1992) and comprises an earth cell cluster held within a chamber by pillars. In a nest with only one female, there are up to nine cells, whilst a polygynous nest may have 17 (Pesenko et al. 2000). To provision one cell the female may make 10-13 foraging trips, the final few being for nectar only. Provisioning a cell may take two days.
These include bellflowers (Campanulaceae), bilberries (Vacciniuim myrtillus), daisies (Bellis perennis) and rosebay willowherb (Chamerion angustifolium).
L. fratellum is a host of the cleptoparasitic halictine Sphecodes hyalinatus.


The determination of feeding preferences through either direct observation of feeding or the analysis of stomach contents has serious limitations. In recent years there have been a number of studies undertaken using stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to determine trophic relationships of a variety of birds and mammals. Since the stable isotope ratio of a consumer reflects its diet, whale tissues analyzed for these ratios have the potential to indicate dietary history. This approach would overcome the temporal biases inherent in stomach content analysis or strict observational evidence and has been used for other cetacean species.
Isotope ratios are determined by the general type of food (original method of carbon fixation, number of trophic levels) that has been incorporated into the animal over the past several weeks or months and it gives a good overall idea of the average diet. With multiple types of food generally available, isotope ratios can indicate, but cannot prove, that a certain type of food was used; they can however, sometimes prove when a food has not been eaten and assimilated. In general, the d13C and d15N values of animals reflect the isotopic values of their diets, even though animals appear to incorporate dietary 15N over 14N. Isotopic analysis of an animal can therefore be used to reconstruct the diet when food sources have different d15N values. Furthermore, the 15N enrichment between trophic levels ranges from 1.3 to 5.3‰, averaging 3.4 ± 1.1‰ irrespective of biochemical differences or differences in habitat. This characteristic elevation in nitrogen isotope ratio is thought to be due to isotopic fractionation associated with catabolic metabolism. This suggests that the d15N of the animal's body would be a useful parameter in assessing its trophic level in an ecosystem. On the other hand, the d13C values of animal tissue are very close to those in their diet, and only a small increase in 13C content (about 1‰ enrichment) occurs with increasing trophic level. The primary theoretical basis of using d13C as a tracer is that the characteristic ratios of different sources are preserved as the carbon is cycled through organisms and detritus. Consequently, the differences in d13C values have been used for the food habit analysis of animals in an ecosystem.
Since the turnover rate of an isotope in any single tissue is dependent on the tissue's metabolic rate, measuring the isotopic signature of several tissues from the same individual can provide short-, intermediate-, and long-term dietary information. Analysis of metabolically inactive tissues, such as hair, baleen, teeth, or whiskers, will reflect the diet as it existed during the period of tissue growth, while tissues which are very metabolically active, such as blood, will reflect the signature of the most recent meal. One difficulty in examining isotopic signatures of cetaceans is the lack of knowledge about the turnover rates of any tissues. There is some turnover data available for seals and some basic information on cetaceans, but it is difficult to extrapolate tissue turnover data for other species to cetaceans because of suggestions that cetacean skin has higher turnover rates than other mammals. We have assessed diet-tissue fractionation and turnover times for dolphin and manatee skin.

Fitness writer refuses to work with fat people - fatties are outraged
Thread starter Tinyportia
Tinyportia
SkinnyGossip Royal
In the latest edition of What are fat people angry about today? , a UK fitness writer has sparked outrage after claiming she wouldn't work with anyone who was severely overweight as it shows a "troubled mind".
The fitness journalist wrote the following article titled "Why You Should Never Work With Fat People":
I appreciate I'm likely opening myself for a tirade of abuse but with the hopes of inspiring some positive change- here goes nothing.
Firstly, we all have a propensity to gain weight; winter insulation, traditional Christmas battle of the bulge, summer holiday overindulgence- most of us have fallen victim at one time or another. That said, fitness model, bodybuilding stage lean also isn't healthy and shouldn't be considered sustainable year-round. A 'normal' softer, achievable, relatable body type is a beautiful thing and one that should be celebrated. However, where I draw a very resolute line at body positivity is today's society validating and excusing severely overweight and obese people. If you are unable to perform day-to-day tasks like taking a leisurely walk, getting up the stairs without being out of breath or using generic seating at restaurants then you have a big problem, pun intended. Yes, different body types should be respected and big is beautiful… to an extent but severe extremes, be that dangerously under or overweight should be treated as a condition that requires help, not commended or excused.
So, as a businessperson myself and former employer; would I work with (extremely) fat people? No, I wouldn't. Harsh but true (I'm sorry). For me, at best it demonstrates a troubled mind, lacking self-control and at worst it shows a severely disturbed individual who is likely to be lacking energy and suffering poor health. The way a person presents themselves physically says as much about them as the credentials they can list on a piece of paper. No, we shouldn't judge people based on beauty, however as humans we can't hide extreme, debilitating gluttony because we wear it as layers of fat. That's biology not bigotry.
Six pack abs are not a quality I look for when choosing people to work with, but I do seek out individuals with enthusiasm and energy. People who, not necessarily exude health (although that's a bonus) but at the very least don't personify excess to the point of welcoming an early grave.
Battling the bulge isn't easy, if you fall into the morbidly obese category, seek help from a medical professional. Gaining energy, confidence and a new lease of life are beautiful things but moreover, you are literally extending your life. Cliché as it may sound, life is our most precious gift.
Confidence and self-worth should always be nurtured and encouraged in every guise and I'm by no means condoning fat shaming or bullying, but equally let's stop validating the result of toxic and harmful behaviour patterns. Obesity has now overtaken smoking as the largest contributing factor causing cancer. Let's replace our misplaced kindness exonerating this damaging condition with catalysing change and providing help and encouragement to conquer this disease of modern times.
Surprise surprise! The fatties are outraged!!!
Reporter refuses to work with fat people
A UK fitness journalist has sparked outrage for claiming she wouldn't work with an overweight person because it shows they have a "troubled mind".
www.news.com.au
Full text of the article for those who can't access it:
Samantha Yardley has doubled down on claims being overweight shows someone "lacks self-control" — despite outrage over her fatphobic comments.
The 34-year-old said she didn't believe in fat-shaming but claimed society shouldn't be "validating" people who are overweight.
"As a businessperson myself and former employer; would I work with (extremely) fat people? No, I wouldn't. Harsh but true (I'm sorry)," she wrote a blog post earlier this month.
"For me, at best it demonstrates a troubled mind, lacking self-control and at worst it shows a severely disturbed individual who is likely to be lacking energy and suffering poor health."
Appearing on UK talk show This Morning on Wednesday Ms Yardley continued her comments by claiming obese people should "take responsibility".
She also argued that plus-sized clothes should be made more difficult to buy to encourage people to lose weight. "We are all judged on how we look. I wouldn't judge someone for being a little overweight," she said. "But if it was someone who was extremely obese, I would think they are lacking in self-esteem, maybe they have the wrong lifestyle, maybe there's an underlying problem."
Ms Yardley then made unsubstantiated claims that people who are obese "take nearly twice as many days off" and are also "more lethargic and more lazy".
Ms Yardley's comments have sparked fury, with people tweeting that a person's size is "none of her business" and weight can be impacted by number of factors, such as illness and medication.
Since her blog post first went viral Ms Yardley has address some of the controversy on Instagram, she was "sorry to have caused offence" but had no regrets about the article. "Like it or lump it, I got people talking about a pivotal issue," she wrote. "A tirade of abuse is all worthwhile if I can help extend just one person's life. That's a huge privilege and so many people have reached out asking for help."
Ok, yes, I'll accept that she was purposely trying to be provocative but a lot of what she says is accurate. She's not talking about people who are merely overweight - she's specifically talking about those who are severely overweight or obese. There is a difference. As she points out, if you are so big that you can barely walk or fit in a standard sized restaurant chair, then that is a serious problem. I love this quote: "as humans we can't hide extreme, debilitating gluttony because we wear it as layers of fat. That's biology not bigotry".
To be honest, I don't know why the fatties are so angry about this...what is the likelihood that a severely obese person would actually want to hire a personal trainer anyway?

I love that if you look up whether being severely overweight or obese leads to more sick days, you instantly see a ridiculous amount of articles confirming it to be true. In addition they have less productivity at work. I guess those demanding to see where she's getting her information aren't "productive" enough to even look it up for themselves
Why is it that fatties always compare fat shaming to racism? News flash - they are not the same!!

The day I can diet off my brown skin (not that I'd want to) is the day that they are allowed to make that comparison. Also it's rich that it's always white Brits/Americans that like to make the "fatphobia = racism" comparison. Perhaps they should spend more time examining their own ancestors' history rather than getting worked up over a fitness trainer making some very valid points

I love this. I generally wouldn't hire a fat person to be on my team either. I'm on Bumble BFF and anyone who looks like their BMI is over 22 is an automatic rejection. I want inspiring, dedicated, and elegant people around me who motivate me to improve myself and maintain my standards. When I lost touch with my model friends after I stopped modelling, I gained weight (to BMI 19) and didn't mind but I looked terrible. My food choices went downhill and I got lazy, albeit a lot more active and successful than my peers still. Even going back to do charity runway shows and meeting more skinny people got me to make better choices, be more actively social, and feel better about myself (despite them generally looking a lot better than me).

PetiteLapin said:
While I agree that I wouldn't work with an unhealthy (whether overweight, unathletic or emaciated) person in a fitness-centred job, I personally wouldn't extend the same sentiments to my social circle. I do think that the people you surround yourself with influence how you behave - for example, if you want to study hard, make more friends with nerds. However, I wouldn't automatically reject people who are larger than my preference, similarly to how I don't reject friends who are more of the slacker type. I think that having such diversity in your social group can widen your worldview, as long as you take care not to internalise your friends' bad habits. I don't want to come across as insulting you, but it feels a little dismissive from my perspective.
squiggle said:
I do agree with you but this is strictly me using apps to make friends. I have many friends in real life who are overweight, chubby, etc. However, given where I live now, I don't have anyone in my circle who are thin. I am using these apps to find people who fit this specific demographic BECAUSE I don't have anyone like this in real life anymore.

Q: Insert JSON file into SQL Server database Hi how can I insert a JSON file into a Cell in Database? I don't want to store the File path but want to store the whole Content of the JSON file into the field.
What can I do?

A: JSON data stored/transferred in as a string. You can store it in a normal NVARCHAR column.

A: how large is the json text?, depending on that you should have a varchar field if content is not large or CLOB if is a lot of json text,
json is just text , so you just have something to read the content of the file, maybe some transact-sql script , and insert it in your table

Ex-policeman who supplied Tasers fired at Raoul Moat siege kills himself
A former policeman who supplied the controversial Tasers used to stun murderer Raoul Moat is believed to have committed suicide after his company lost its licence to sell the weapons.
Peter Boatman, 57, is thought to have feared his business Pro-Tect Systems would collapse after the lucrative Government licence was revoked last week.
He had also recently learned that his company might face police action for breaching the terms of its licence and supplying the weapons directly to Northamptonshire Police, where Mr Boatman was a former inspector.
Peter Boatman (left) was found dead in his home today. He supplied the controversial long range Tasers which were fired at Raoul Moat (right)
Pro-Tect Systems supplied four experimental long-range X-12 Tasers to the force that were used during the tense six-hour stand-off with gunman Moat in Rothbury, Northumberland, in July.
Armed police fired two X-12 Tasers at the nightclub bouncer in an 'effort to stop him taking his own life'.
Moat had gone on the run after shooting his ex-girlfriend and her new partner, killing the latter, as well as shooting a police officer in the face, blinding him.
It has yet to be established what role, if any, the Tasers played in the death of Moat, who blasted himself with a shotgun.
But Moat's brother, Angus, said officers used the killer as a 'guinea pig'.
Lottery winner who scooped nearly £1million found hanged at his luxury home Women's copycat suicide flat is so toxic police have to wear chemical protection suits 24 hours on
He added: 'They had not used them before, and that was not the time or the place to conduct an experiment.'
It was believed at the time of Moat's death that, although the Home Office had not approved the weapons, their use was at the police's discretion.
But it later emerged that the company should not have supplied X-12 Tasers and XRep ammunition directly to two police forces as they were intended only for the Home Office Science and Development Branch scientific testing department.
It is believed Mr Boatman may have handed the guns to former colleagues from Northamptonshire Police in order to help them take Moat alive.
The Home Office revoked the company's licence last Tuesday and Northamptonshire Police said the company was facing action over the breach of its licence.
Pro-Tect chairman Mr Boatman had previously allowed himself to be shot more than 200 times with a Taser for testing and in a publicity stunt to prove how safe they are.
In 2004, for the same reason, he even fired one at his wife Stephanie, also a director of Pro-Tect Systems.
Publicity: Mr Boatman let himself be host with a taser in 2003
Brought down: Partner Kevin Coles hits him with the Taser
Police officers were yesterday comforting Mr Boatman's family at his large detached four-bedroomed home in Kingsthorpe, Northampton, after cordoning off the area.
He is believed to have lived at the property with Stephanie, daughter Chloe, 30, and a grown-up son, Kiel.
Four vehicles with personalised numberplates containing the letters TSR, thought to be short for Taser, stood outside the property.
Kevin Coles, managing director of the company, said he and his colleagues were 'devastated' by the news, adding: 'After recent events he wasn't the man he was. We're all just dreadfully sorry for Steph and the family.'
Mr Boatman worked as an inspector for Northamptonshire Police before leaving the force in 2002 to become a joint partner with a 50 per cent stake in Pro-Tect Systems based in Daventry, Northampton.
Mr Peter Boatman (left) is pictured with a Taser electric stun device before demonstrating the weapon on Detective Constable Joe Holness of Kent Police at the Police Federation Conference in 2005
His company gained a lucrative Government contract making him the only legal supplier of Tasers in Britain and he has sold more than 4,000 stun-guns to police and the military. Pro-Tect Systems is also the exclusive British distributor for American company Taser International.
The Tasers used to stun Raoul Moat, which fire a lightweight shell over long range, can deliver up to 20 seconds of electric shock in bullet-
like capsules from a standard 12-gauge shotgun or an X-12 Taser.
Mr Boatman's neighbour Rob Fisher, 45, a financial adviser, said yesterday: 'It's a tragic thing. Running a business like he did can be very stressful. I feel for his family. When I heard the news [about the revoked licence] a couple of nights ago I thought "How devastating" because he had been working so hard for his company.
'He always got up at 6am in the morning and came back home very late. Peter was very welcoming and introduced us to the neighbourhood.
'Earlier this afternoon an ambulance
turned up and police cars came screeching around the cul-de-sac blocking the entrance. It was obvious something tragic had happened.'
One neighbour, who refused to be named, tearfully added: 'He was a wonderful person, who had a great sense of humour. He will be sorely missed.'
A spokesman for Pro-Tect Systems said Mr Boatman's death was 'an incredibly sad loss'.
The company added that Mr Boatman showed 'incredible passion in bringing a friendly and committed outlook to all he met'.
A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said: 'We are not treating the death as suspicious and will be preparing a report for the coroner.'
Ex-policeman who supplied Tasers fired at Raoul Moat 'commits suicide'


Thomas Karl Alberts. Shamanism, Discourse, Modernity. 286 pp., refs., index. New York: Routledge, 2016. $122 (hardback), $54.95 (e-book). First published 2015 by Ashgate.
Alberts, of Cape Town, South Africa, chooses "shamanism" to be the linchpin of a detailed history of an anthropological trope increasingly popular and politically engaged. Because "shamanism" is universalized as a component of "the primitive," its usage closely followed the development of anthropology within imperial regimes, and its current proliferation ties in with indigenous rights and environmental projects. Alberts goes farther, citing Foucault at numerous points about modernity's universalizing epistemologies versus its acknowledgements of contingencies. The term "modernity" seems to refer to an Enlightenment search for new knowledge as the means of establishing universal types and laws, forever pushed on by contingent particulars brought up to critique these projections (14-15). The strength and value of this book is in its critiques, packed with historic and contemporary detail.

COVID-19: What the Good Doctor Says
Ellis Dixon
There's of noise out there about what to expect from the coronavirus, but perhaps it's best that we hear from a doctor working in the Portuguese health system.
Coronavirus is all we can think about so it's no wonder that loads of predictions are being made by people who have no business making them. Your crazy uncle says this whole thing is a hoax. Your next-door bathrobe-clad neighbor who is constantly out on his balcony thinks we will be living like this for at least a full year. We're not sure anyone should be making travel plans any time soon, but that's just our best guess. Perhaps it's time we take some advice from a doctor working in the Portuguese health system.
We tracked down Dr. João Filipe Pinheiro, the Assitente Graduado Sénior MGF at the UCSP Lapa for his educated opinion on how this thing will play out. Here's what he says.
"I'm somewhat proud of our SNS. Considering that we are not a wealthy country and that we have limited resources, we have until now managed to avert tragedies like those taking place in Italy, Spain, and the U.S. But it's a little bit like [we are] skating on thin ice.
Feature image by Bogdan Kamuta
"As you must have seen in the news, we seem to have "traded" a spiked epidemiological curve for a flattened one. Thankfully, this translates to less mortality and less infected people — but a longer "danger" period.
"So this will be like a marathon, and we're barely out of the gate. A lot will depend on people's behavior (self-isolation, social distancing, etc.) I think that after this first wave, things will get better, and around the summer, we'll be able to go out more or less normally.
"However, I'm also convinced that around fall and winter, there'll be another outbreak of COVID and the seasonal flu — and this will go on more or less severely until a vaccine becomes available at around the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022.
"My hope is that people keep behaving, that a drug combination proves effective, and that a vaccine becomes available ASAP.
"So, stay at home. Read, write, listen to music, and watch films, cook, do some DIY, whatever.
"Once or twice a week, protect yourself and go for a walk by the river, or ride a bike if you have one. But please have lots of patience and don't compromise on safety."

Utah Online powered by software from NewsView Solutions.
Challenging the notion that the right to vote is priceless, a new Internet site has sprung up to exchange money for votes.
Voteauction.com allows voters to register their votes for sale to the highest bidder -- presumably politicians or special interests looking for the best bang for their campaign-contribution buck. Votes are grouped by state to be sold in blocs for the presidential election.
The Web site carries the slogan: "Bringing capitalism and democracy closer together."
Created by 26-year-old graduate student James Baumgartner of New York, the site was shut down temporarily last week amid a flurry of news stories about Department of Justice scrutiny of the scheme, along with similar attempted auctions on eBay. But voteauction.com already has reopened under Austrian ownership.
WASHINGTON TERRACE -- Thirty years of lobbying state road builders couldn't get Ogden's south side a new freeway access until a private landowner put up $5 million to get the job done.
The result: Utah's first toll road, a $10 million public-private spur from Adams Avenue to Interstate 84 financed largely by the landowners and businesses that will benefit most. The Adams Avenue Turnpike, a one-mile link across Doug Stephens' ranch, is scheduled to open in December with an anticipated toll of about 75 cents.
It will not be a state road, but Utah officials will be watching closely to see if such partnerships can solve transportation problems more cost-effectively than the traditional pattern of using tax dollars to open new areas to private development.
"It demonstrates that the [toll-road] idea may have value in a number of applications, but it will be in this kind of partnership," Gov. Mike Leavitt said Tuesday. "I don't anticipate us moving to state-owned toll roads anytime soon."
An international youth camp will not be part of the Salt Lake City Olympics.
But in agreeing to Salt Lake Organizing Committee President Mitt Romney's appeal to dispense with the traditional camp, IOC officials said they hope this waiver is a one-time deal.
"We made clear this is an exceptional decision and does not set a precedent," International Olympic Committee spokesman Franklin Servan-Schreiber said following an IOC Executive Board meeting Tuesday in Lausanne, Switzerland.
He added: "We regret there will be no youth camp, but we are very supportive of Mitt's efforts. We are happy to help, if he thinks this can help him. But in response to explicit and repeated requests from Mitt, and to help him organize great Games in Salt Lake, we are willing to take this special exception."
Romney had argued a youth camp, conducted simultaneously with the 2002 Winter Games and involving perhaps 200 young people from 80 countries, would be a drain on SLOC's limited resources.

The first thing you need to do in starting out your own blog is choosing an appropriate name. You don't have to be mundane about it; explore and enthuse yourself in creating a catchy name related to what your main topic is all about.
The more unique your name is, the easier it is for your visitors to remember you. However, in order to secure your name in their memory box, you have to keep your name short and easy to spell out. Limit your name up to 2-3 words to be sure.
There are several hosting sites offered online, but some offers are not truly worth the price. Most of the hosting sites are of the same price, but each deal differs in quality service. Make sure that the domain registration and hosting sites offer a smooth and impeccable transaction, the one that truly satisfies your needs.
Food blog alone can be very diverse in a sense that you can divulge further to a more specific matter. There are people who prefer to blog about certain restaurants in their local area, while some opt to go for nutritional facts.
Make sure you come up with a sub-topic so as not to confuse your visitors and also for you to easily focus on it. Avoid juggling on different topics unrelated to your chosen subject since this can greatly affect your blog's image.
Surely, sensible content is a must for a blog. However, choosing the right blog layout with easy navigation is a plus for you. Readers are often curious people who love exploring your blog site by clicking links that would direct them to different pages on your blog.
Overdoing your layout, like adding effects such as snowflakes falling off the screen, can be too much on other people's devices. Hence, your page would most likely freeze or even crash on their devices and it would be an annoying stance on their end.
Come up with a layout that's catchy, yet easy for the visitors to use for them to fully enjoy their reading experience on your blog.
One of the easiest and fastest ways to gain followers is freely advertising your blog to your social media accounts. Your friends and relatives connected to your account can easily click on the link posted on your timeline and, eventually, they will start sharing your posts to their friends.
It's a hassle-free process, but you have to make sure that your entries are worth reading to gain praises from your loved ones and acquaintances.
Albeit this method is mostly used by many individuals due to people using the internet daily. This should not be your main priority as to why you're starting out your own food blog. You should have a mindset of wanting to utilize your knowledge and experience about food by posting it online for those interested to see and learn something from your entry.
In order to start earning income from your food blog effort, you should affiliate your blog entries with ads. You make promotions and good reviews about a certain food product or restaurants (whichever criteria you belong) and when your visitors start buying food products through your blog, you'll receive commissions from the company you are associated in that ad. In addition, you must have enough traffic to get a good conversion rate.
Overall, starting out your own food blog is a good investment if you're really into it and that you're willing to spend your time constantly creating blog entries to keep your blog alive. Setting up is fairly easy, so you shouldn't be afraid nor ashamed of exposing your thoughts about food online.

Early in the 2011 baseball season it became clear that this would be the year where Derek Jeter joined the exclusive 3,000 Club. And not more then a few moments after this realization, it become equally clear that this career milestone needed to be commemorated in a fashion fitting to it's great importance.
It was at this early time, many months before that 3,000th crack of Jeter's bat was heard, that the call came from New York asking the artist of sports and celebrity, Stephen Holland, to create a work as monumental as the moment it would capture.
The choice of Holland to create the painting is without a doubt a great honor, it was a clear one as well. For years the connection between the New York Yankees and Holland has been an exceptionally strong one. He has painted most every great in history to wear the blue pin-stripes. His gallery shows in New York are typically attended by Yankee legends like Yogi Berra and Don ("Perfect Game") Larsen. One such NY gallery show of Holland's was even an official event of the All Star Game in NY during the Yankees' farewell to their old field.
Next month both Jeter and Holland will be celebrating the unveiling of this painting together in New York, along with the release of an exclusive limited edition print of Jeter hitting his 3,000th. There they will share the occasion with a select group of collectors of this special print.

The Reconstruction Amendments: Essential Documents, a Follow-up to The Founders' Constitution
This unprecedented collection presents the original historical documents relating to the framing and ratification of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments.
Kurt Lash | 4.19.2021 7:29 AM
University of Chicago Press has just published "The Reconstruction Amendments: Essential Documents," a two-volume collection of original historical documents relating to the framing, ratification and public understanding of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the American Constitution. Prior to this publication no such collection existed. In this and three additional posts, I will explain the theory behind the collection, the nature of the included documents, and how scholars can use the collection to teach a basic course on the Reconstruction Amendments. My thanks to Eugene Volokh and the folks here at the VC for giving me this opportunity.
Ten years in the making, the completed volumes contain over four hundred original historical documents which collectively tell the story of America's struggle to define and redefine the meaning of American freedom, national citizenship, constitutional federalism and the basic rights of all persons. Beginning with the antebellum public debates over slavery and the original Constitution, and ending with ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment, the two volumes open a window on the grand national debates which attended the second most important period of constitutional debate in American history. A great deal of this material, particularly documents relating to the ratification of the three amendments, has never before been published (or, in many cases, even identified).
The collection focuses on the public debates which drove and accompanied constitutional reconstruction. The extraordinary constitutional conversation that prompted the adoption of the three Reconstruction Amendments included the voices of presidents, governors, military officers, radical abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips, constitutional abolitionists like Lysander Spooner and Joel Tiffany, black civil rights activists like David Walker and Frederick Douglass, women's rights activists like Francis Watkins Harper, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, pragmatist Republicans and obstructionist Democrats, the participants in freedmen's conventions and the equal rights conventions, southern newspaper editors and northern political scientists, as well as politicians like Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, James F. Wilson, James Ashley, John A. Bingham, Lyman Trumbull, Jacob Howard, and George S. Boutwell.
Volume One begins with the antebellum debates that set the stage for constitutional reconstruction. This includes antebellum debates over the nature of federalism, the role of slavery in the original Constitution, the meaning of citizenship, and the scope of national liberty. The second half of Volume One presents the legislative and public debates attending the framing and ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment. In my second post, I will describe some of the key documents in Volume One, including the first Thirteenth Amendment which would have constitutionally entrenched chattel slavery, and the extraordinary decision of the state of Wisconsin to nullify the federal Fugitive Slave Clause and invoke Madisonian federalism in support of anti-slavery state policy.
Volume Two presents the legislative and public debates over the framing and ratification of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. These documents include not only the congressional debates (now word-searchable), but also the heretofore unavailable (or unknown) state ratification debates. Finally, I also have prepared a Teacher's Manual with a model syllabus and teaching notes for a fourteen-week course on the Reconstruction Amendments.
In my next post, I will discuss the theory and content of Volume One, The Antebellum Constitution and the Thirteenth Amendment. This will be followed by a post on Volume Two, and then a final word on the collection and the available teaching materials.
For now, I close with a word about the title, "Reconstruction Amendments: Essential Documents." In some cases, "essential" refers to the importance of the included documents themselves, such as the documents presenting the drafting debates of the Thirty-Ninth Congress.
In other cases, however, "essential" refers not to a particular document but to the essential importance of the issue discussed within that document. For example, for each amendment, I have included newspaper coverage of the framing and ratification efforts. These newspaper articles are meant to illustrate how closely the public was able to follow the framing debates, assess the arguments in favor of ratification, and consider the implications of failure or success. This contemporary public awareness is itself an "essential" aspect of constitutional reconstruction.

Data Visualization with Excel Dashboards and Reports 2021
April 28, 2021 Excel ebooks PDF,
by Dick Kusleika
Publisher: Wiley
Large corporations like IBM and Oracle are using Excel dashboards and reports as a Business Intelligence tool, and many other smaller businesses are looking to these tools in order to cut costs for budgetary reasons. An effective analyst not only has to have the technical skills to use Excel in a productive manner but must be able to synthesize data into a story, and then present that story in the most impactful way. Microsoft shows its recognition of this with Excel. In Excel, there is a major focus on business intelligence and visualization. Data Visualization with Excel Dashboards and Reports fills the gap between handling data and synthesizing data into meaningful reports. This title will show readers how to think about their data in ways other than columns and rows.
Most Excel books do a nice job discussing the individual functions and tools that can be used to create an "Excel Report". Titles on Excel charts, Excel pivot tables, and other books that focus on "Tips and Tricks" are useful in their own right; however they don't hit the mark for most data analysts. The primary reason these titles miss the mark is they are too focused on the mechanical aspects of building a chart, creating a pivot table, or other functionality. They don't offer these topics in the broader picture by showing how to present and report data in the most effective way.
What are the most meaningful ways to show trending? How do you show relationships in data? When is showing variances more valuable than showing actual data values? How do you deal with outliers?

   ON  dbo.[LocalServerTable]
    FOR INSERT

 WHERE id = @id
END

Android Material Design application for manually recording Crossy Road scores while playing on a TV. I made this application because we are playing on Apple TV with friends and we have no way of recording leaderboards (and Excel sheets are so '00s).

Perfect for parties!

## Structure
The application is using 3 modules:
- common: contains all of the app models and basic interfaces / response objects,
- core: contains internal data providers and core business logic
- app: contains base UI components, their implementations and dedicated data loaders.

Over the past few weeks, the feud over hazardous Chinese-made products has played out as a classic clash of nations, as Washington blocked imports of tainted food and recalled unsafe toys while Beijing cracked down at home and fought to salvage the reputation of the "Made in China" label. But last weekend the conflict turned personal when it emerged that the head of a factory responsible for producing the toxic toys had killed himself.
Cheung Shu-hung, a Hong Kong resident and co-owner of Lee Der Industrial Co. Ltd., hanged himself in a warehouse in the southern Chinese city of Foshan on Saturday afternoon, China's Southern Metropolis Daily reported. Lee Der, which Hong Kong records say Cheung incorporated with a business partner in 2002, manufactured all of the nearly 1 million toys recalled by Mattel earlier this month.
"It brings it home, this whole concern [for product safety] and what does it mean for the China export juggernaut," says David Zweig, director of the Center on China's Transnational Relations at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. "We think of it on a massive, macro level. This brings home what it means when this ... happens to an individual businessman."
In early August, Mattel's Fisher-Price division and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of 967,000 toys, featuring characters like Big Bird and Elmo from Sesame Street and Dora the Explorer, because of excessive amounts of lead paint. The toys had been manufactured this spring and summer by Lee Der in Foshan.
Mattel said that it had worked with Lee Der for many years and that the company had a good track record on production standards. The recall was a particular blow to Mattel, which had enjoyed a reputation for closely monitoring product safety and work conditions at the foreign factories to which it outsourced production, and was seen as a model for U.S. companies who were working with manufacturers in China.
Toy manufacturing in Guangdong is a bellwether industry in China. It was among the first to receive outside investment when China's economy began to open up in the early 1980s and Hong Kong businessmen crossed the border in search of cheaper production facilities. Product safety standards have long been an issue, but the unprecedented level of international attention is putting pressure on manufacturers. With its export-driven economic growth on the line, the Chinese government has taken aggressive steps to safeguard the reputation of its goods. It has closed unsafe food factories, issued new regulations for product safety and shuttered the exporters whose tainted chemical products and pet food additives were linked to the death of more than 100 consumers in Panama and thousands of pets in the U.S. The measures are "a combination of window dressing and substance," says Steve Ganster, the managing director of Technomic Asia, a Shanghai-based consultancy. "The window dressing is important politically, but I think there will be true substance that, like anything in China, will trickle down and have an effect in the bigger market." But until that effect takes place, the drumbeat of product recalls looks set to continue: on Tuesday, reports emerged that Mattel would announce another toy recall, over lead-based paint traced to a different Chinese manufacturer.

Nano-Falcon: World's Smallest Helicopter
IndiatimesUpdated on Jun 14, 2013, 15:46 IST
A toy helicopter created from cannibalised smartphones was among the main attractions at a huge toy show in Tokyo on Friday, where producers were targeting the young and the young-at-heart.
The motor that makes a telephone vibrate provides the power for the rotor blades on the Nano-Falcon, which its makers say is the world's smallest radio-controlled helicopter.
The 6.5-centimetre (2.4-inch) machine weighs just 11 grammes (0.385 ounces), has a range of just five metres (15 feet) and can fly for five minutes, but its makers say they are feeding the fantasies of adults who never really grew up.
"Japan's ageing population made us think of developing a toy targeting adults," said Naoki Nakagawa, head of sales at maker CCP. "Ten or twenty years ago, helicopter-toys could cost a lot of money. Those who couldn't afford it at the time can now make their childhood dream come true at a reasonable price."
The mini machine retails at around 4,700 yen ($50), a price company spokeswoman Kiyoko Hayasaki said came from its use of bits of mobile phones. "We were able to set the price at this relatively cheap level because we took some key parts from stocks that are widely available in the market for smartphones," she said.
Elsewhere at the exhibition, toymakers were showcasing tablet computers specifically for small children. "Children like to emulate what adults do, and a survey said 90 percent of tablet computer users let their children use their tablets," said Yuki Itagaki, a spokeswoman for MegaHouse, a subsidiary of major Japanese toy maker Bandai Namco Holdings.
MegaHouse's "tap me" is a tablet specifically developed for use by children aged between four and eight, with built-in parental controls, including a timer that limits use.
"When the timer reaches the set time, the tablet shows a sleeping face instead of turning off," Itagaki said. "Children can't bring tablets to their parents and say 'hey, the power is off. Turn it on please.'"
Despite its price tag of 20,790 yen ($219), MegaHouse aims to sell 100,000 "tap me" in the coming 12 months. US toy maker Mattel was showing off its Apptivity Monkey, a fluffy monkey designed to hold Apple's iPhone and protect it from over-enthusiastic toddlers, who can press buttons on the creature's limbs to create music.
Japan's Takara Tomy has a stand for the iPhone that dances along to the music it is playing. "We hope adults with a sense of fun like this product," said Tsubasa Tominaga of the company's new products team.
The International Tokyo Toy Show runs until Sunday at Tokyo Big Sight in the Japanese capital's bay area, with Saturday and Sunday open to the public.

Buckingham is back, absent Mac
by JACK W. HILL SPECIAL TO THE DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE | November 4, 2012 at 3:25 a.m.
Lindsey Buckingham brings his one-man show to Little Rock on Monday.
LITTLE ROCK — Lindsey Buckingham has found success in a duo and a group, and is getting the same results as a solo act. Well, maybe not exactly the same, crowd size-wise, but in terms of personal satisfaction, he would say so.
The 63-year-old California-born guitarist-singer-songwriter joined the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 as a part of Fleetwood Mac, a group he helped move from cult status to superstars when he and then girlfriend, Stevie Nicks, became members in 1975, two years after the couple put out an album under their two last names.
With Buckingham and Nicks in the band, Fleetwood Mac became the most commercially successful group of the 1970s. The band's self-titled album of 1975 sold more than 5 million copies, thanks to the songs "Rhiannon," "Over My Head," "Say You Love Me" and "Landslide." Its 1977 follow-up, Rumours, with sales of more than 19 million copies, had as its memorable songs "Second Hand News," "Never Going Back Again," "Go Your Own Way," "Songbird," The Chain," "You Make Loving Fun," "Gold Dust Woman" and "Don't Stop."
After a dozen years, Buckingham took the advice of one of his songs ("Go Your Own Way") and left the band, due to fatigue from touring and the dissension within the band, aggravated by over-the top success, drugs and crumbling personal relationships.
Thanks to a famous Arkansan, Buckingham began working again with his former band when Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992. Since a major part of the Clinton campaign had been its use of the Fleetwood Mac song "Don't Stop" (the name of which some assumed to be "Don't Stop Thinkin' About Tomorrow"), the band was invited to perform at an inaugural event.
By 1997, band members were again on friendly terms, so they put together a reunion tour, although there was no new album until 2003. Say You Will became the first studio album in 15 years to include Buckingham and Nicks (although Christine McVie was missing, having left in 1998).
On his website, Buckingham indicates that his "intimate, one-man show" will feature songs from his solo albums, "along with a variety of Fleetwood Mac classics" for those wishing to hear their old favorites in a nonband format.
He released his seventh solo album, Seeds We Sow, in September 2011 on his label after singing and playing every instrument, recording it in his home studio, plus producing and engineering the album. The only cover song on it is a 1967 Rolling Stones song, "She Smiled Sweetly." He told Rolling Stone magazine a month before the album's release that "the songs are all about the accumulation of choices that we make every day and the karmic part of that - which is where the title … comes from. In my own life I've made a lot of choices that weren't always popular with people around me. Only in the last few years have I been able to look at them with the perspective of time."
Referring to his current tour, Buckingham says on his site: "As I've grown as an artist, I've gotten more and more in touch with my center and that center is voice and guitar. Over time it has become increasingly vital to express more with less; that is my touchstone now, and the embodiment of that philosophy is what will be largely represented in the new show. I've been thinking of doing this kind of tour for a while, and am quite excited to be doing something new, something outside my comfort zone."
But something old is returning. There are reports - confirmed by Buckingham and Nicks - of another Fleetwood Mac reunion and tour in 2013, although McVie continues to resist offers to return to the band, which now consists of Buckingham, Nicks and original members Mick Fleetwood and John McVie.
An Evening With Lindsey Buckingham
Doors open at 8 p.m., show starts at 9
Monday, Juanita's, 614 President Clinton
Ave., Little Rock
Tickets: $45 advance, $55 at the door
Style, Pages 53 on 11/04/2012

From colleague to boss
Nikolaus "Niki" Kurcz will be NOVA's new Managing Director
As Sissi Eisl will be going on maternity leave at the end of November 2021, in recent months NOVA has been seeking a suitable replacement for the role of Managing Director. With Niki Kurcz (33), co-owner and currently Production Manager, NOVA has succeeded in finding a replacement from within its own ranks!
Niki Kurcz knows NOVA inside out. After an internship, he initially worked for NOVA on a project basis and then joined the team permanently with a Master's degree in Aeronautical Engineering in his pocket. Until now, he has been responsible for the production area – a role which he will continue. In order not to overload him in his new position as Managing Director, NOVA has created a new parallel position – from now on Florina Eller will support Team NOVA as Project Manager.
This is how Niki Kurcz puts it: "I am very much looking forward to the challenge and it makes me somewhat proud that the other owners have placed this trust in me. We are a strong team and I really enjoy working at NOVA. As Managing Director, however, I don't see myself as the captain who decides all by myself where the journey goes. We will continue to work as a team, because we have colleagues in all areas who are competent and also great people." Niki will continue to focus heavily on production and adds: "Production is the biggest challenge for the entire industry at the moment. The current situation, with limited availability of certain components as well as drastic corona lockdown measures is anything but easy. Manufacturing and product availability are key to a successful 2022."
PS: Sissi thanks customers, dealers, co-owners and employees for five action-packed years at NOVA. She will continue to keep an eye on us - whether we are doing it all right. :)

DC Animated A Killing Joke Review
The Jokes on Us
The original Killing Joke written by Alan Moore is considered by many to be a classic. The quintessential Joker story that both manages to show Joker at not only at his most sadistic but also at his most tragic. The story at its core was so dark it didn't seem likely that it would be adapted into a movie. So it became a big surprise to everyone when Warner Bros announced that it was being to be adapted into a R rated animated movie. It was also a pleasant surprise that some of the cast from Batman the Animated Series returned to play the roles they made famous.
With a cast that includes Mark Hamil, Tara Strong and Kevin Conroy this movie could not fail right? Unfortunately not even there acting abilities can't save the fundamental flaws with this movie. One of the flaws in the movie is the voice acting. With the exception of the formentioned actors everyone else ranged from OK to horrible. In particular the voice of Bullock which is almost laughable.
The biggest problem with the movie is the portrayal of Batgirl. One of the complaints about the original graphic novel is the role Barbara Gordan plays in the story. To remedy this a another story arc was added to flesh out her side of the story. Unfortunately this side story does not work and in some ways even hurts the story. In trying to tell a story of empowerment for Batgirl it came off more like a story of a girl who does nothing but depend on the men in her life. Her interactions with her male counterparts just don't work. It's a sharp contrast to the more independent Batgirl we see in the comics.
For the most most part the Killing Joke is a Joker story. Fortunately, that part of the story works very well. Mark Hamill is as excellent as always in the role of the Joker. At times in the movie he goes from a completely vile character to a very sympathetic character. On the opposite side of the spectrum Kevin Conroy 's stoic demeanor is very fitting for the movie. While it doesn't feel quite like BTAS it gets close at times. Overall A Killing Joke is a good effort to bring to life a classic but it may have been better to leave this one in its original format.
Score 6.0 out of 10
