It's Not the Bully's Fault
Posted in Adolescent Development, Education/Schools, Social Emotional Education, Youth At Risk on May 15, 2011| 1 Comment »
Bullying is big news. With kids cutting and killing themselves, the media, legislatures, and school systems are just now waking up to an epidemic that has been thriving under their noses for way too long.
We are searching for answers. Whose fault is it? The bully's? The teacher? The Principal? The parent?
The truth is, we are missing the boat about what causes bullying and why it exists in the first place.
Bullying, at its core, is about relationships. The whole system promotes and allows bullying. Kids increasingly do not know how to be in relationship with each other so they resort to surviving the best they know how.
We don't teach a "how to get along in the world" class. Kids must figure out the complexity of relationship on their own, making interpersonal interaction a Darwinian experience. Many think back to their childhood and view survival of the fittest as a positive way to learn about life. But the truth is, school is increasingly a Lord of the Flies existence, where teachers opt out of being in relationship with their students.
This leaves kids to flounder right before their eyes.
Bullying is the disintegration of intimate, caring relationships in a society gone digital. Bullying is not just a kid-on-kid phenomenon.
And here is the surprising part. IT EXISTS EVERYWHERE, especially in school between teacher and student.
Teresa is a 15-year-old who is chronically overwhelmed by the expectations of her teachers and her mother. An impatient mother demanding excellence coupled with teachers who never stop giving homework, grading and moving on to the next chapter has Teresa living in a constant state of anxiety and fear.
She has panic attacks at night thinking about her failure and inadequacy. Teresa attempted to talk to her teachers but mostly they ignore her, dismissing her as someone who has given up. Though clearly emotionally drowning in full view of everyone, no adult "bystanders" have stepped in to help Teresa.
Reaching her breaking point, she stabbed herself in the neck – all in an effort to stop the intense and unbearable feeling of rejection and inadequacy.
What makes this a case of bullying is how teachers caused Teresa's fear and anxiety without attending to her obvious suffering. There is no relationship of caring between Teresa and her teachers. They were able to walk away (like any bully) and not take responsibility for their actions.
Too many teachers bully students to get their work done instead of being in relationship with them. Bullying bypasses the intimacy and work of real relationship. It is more than being rude or insensitive; it's emotional harming of another in exchange for power, prestige, control, dominance or playing out unresolved issues on others.
Most kids, when asked about school, will answer that it is an impossible situation. They have no rights or privileges and absolutely no voice. Too often parents join with teachers to push, prod, threaten, humiliate, ridicule, judge, grade, embarrass, all in an effort to get kids to good student status, to get them to tow the line.
But in the end, what will work and what will always work is being in caring and respectful relationships. Everyone wins in a healthy relationship. It is harder and needs to be taught. But it is the only way to stop bullying.
Hard Times for Recess
Posted in Play, Youth At Risk on April 5, 2011| Leave a Comment »
More than 150 years ago, Charles Dickens published "Hard Times," a novel centered around the students of an English schoolmaster named Thomas Gradgrind, who had no use for play or any sort of imaginative pursuit. For Gradgrind, if something did not demonstrably add to the productive capacity of the nation and could not be justified with facts and statistics, it had no place in a child's education.
Dickens invented Gradgrind (and introduced him in a chapter entitled "Murdering the Innocents") to dramatize what he saw as the soullessness of utilitarianism, a school of thought prevalent in England during the Industrial Revolution that emphasized rational pursuits and quantitative measures over all else.

Why We Need Social Emotional Education
Posted in Adolescent Development, Social Emotional Education, Youth At Risk on February 3, 2011| 1 Comment »
Tyler is five years old. He is going to school for the first time. In school, he will learn to read and write. He will meet other boys and girls who he will play with. He will make friends and laugh and get mad and sad. He likes painting and playing tag during recess. He likes that his name is painted in red and blue by his own cubby. Everyday, the teacher reads stories and he likes that also. The teacher wants him to sit and write letters and numbers and color in between the lines. She wants him to be quiet during quiet time and to have an "inside voice" all the time. Tyler is confused about all the rules and cries at school. The teacher has a "nice voice," but she also has a "mean voice." Tyler is afraid of the "mean voice." Tyler feels sad more and more, especially when the "mean voice" is there too much. When the teacher asks him why he is sad, he looks down at his basketball shoelaces his dad double-ties in the morning and more tears come out. He wants to go home and play with his own stuff and he tells the teacher this. She tells him that he can go home when school is over and that's not until after afternoon snack. How long is that he asks? That is four more hours, she said in her nice voice. When Tyler looks up he sees another little boy, the one with red hair, doing something he wants to do. He tells the teacher he's not sad anymore and he runs to his friend. The teacher calls out "Walk Tyler."
Penelope is eight years old. She is an old hand at school. Third grade. She knows what's expected of her and for the most part, she is pretty good at school. She kind of likes it, especially when she gets good grades. Grades are new to her and Penelope feels nervous in her stomach when Miranda gets a better grade than she does on spelling. Penelope wishes the other children in her classroom were better behaved, especially the boys who are always talking and getting into trouble. She makes sure she doesn't do what they are doing and tells the teacher when someone is doing something they shouldn't be doing. This way the teacher knows she is a good girl and that's important. Penelope wants to do everything right but the other girls don't like her as much. She's not sure why. But she has one friend, Rose, who is really quiet. They gave each other friendship necklaces this year and spend every recess playing House by the trees next to the blacktop. The other girls usually jump rope or play Chase but Penelope doesn't like doing that. She wants them to come to her and play her games, but they never do, except Rose, so that makes Rose her best friend. Raji wants to be her friend too but she is too talkie. Raji also gets into trouble for talking in class and Penelope has to sit next to her, which she hates so she ignores her. Sometimes Penelope talks to Raji and sometimes they are friends, maybe for a day, but then they're not because Raji is annoying. Nobody likes her.
Zach is 10 years old. He always sits in the back of the class at his own desk. He doesn't mind so much. He gets to look out the window and think about video games and recess. Zach is not doing so well in school but all the boys like him because he is brave and says things out loud to the teacher which makes everyone laugh. Zach knows he's a cool kid. He's good at sports but his teacher doesn't like him so much, he thinks. That's why he's in the back. His parents get mad at him because the teacher writes them notes telling them when he does something wrong, which is like a couple times a week. The teacher doesn't talk to Zach about "doing better" very much anymore maybe because he knows Zach's parents get mad at him instead, which they do, a lot. The teacher just tries to ignore him, that's why he's in the back. It's like he's not in the class at all. This is so the teacher can teach and he doesn't have to deal with Zach. Zach knows if he can keep his mouth shut, then his teacher would like him but he can't because then the other kids wouldn't think he was funny anymore. His parents yell and scream and take away stuff. They say, "you're embarrassing us" and stuff like that. But he can't help it. He tells them over and over that school is sooo boring and the teacher doesn't like him. They don't care whether the teacher likes him or not and it doesn't matter if schools boring. Do the work, they say over and over, or else you can't play baseball, you can't play basketball, you can't, you can't. Who cares if it's boring? Zach cares. He's the one who has to go to school. Not them. They don't care what he has to say. They want him to do better NOW – or else. No discussion. So Zach does try again. He doesn't want his parents to be mad and disappointed. But no one notices that he's trying. Actually they seem to notice only when he doesn't try. They have radar eyes for the not trying and even when he is trying, they think he's not trying. So what's the point of even trying? So looking out the window is fun and it doesn't get the teacher mad.
Telia is 12 years old. She is a little overweight and thinks about her body a lot. She asks her Mom if she can get her ears pierced and wear a little make-up. He mom says alright. Telia likes Brandon who sits in front of her in Science. He has dirty blond curly hair and is tall for a 7th grader which makes him like an 8th grader. Brandon doesn't know that Telia likes him and besides he likes Julia, everyone knows that. Telia is nervous because all the girls are starting to do things with boys, to get their attention. LIke at Samatha's 12th birthday party, almost every girl went in the closet, one at a time, to kiss Jake or Mike. Telia wouldn't do it. She likes Brandon and thinks Jake and Mike are sleazy. There is a lot of homework and the teachers are always frustrated with the class because there is too much "side talking" and "note passing." There is so much drama now and Telia is unsure about everything. Her body is changing and she is having these new feelings about boys and her mind seems to be different also. It's like she has two brains, like she is always having a conversation in her head. Is something wrong with her, she worries? Is she crazy? She doesn't tell anyone she has crazy thoughts and tries to push them away, which only makes them stronger. Telia's mom is worried about her and asks if she would like to talk to the school counselor. Telia says no because all the other kids would find out and then everything would be worse. Besides, there's another birthday party coming up and maybe this time Telia will be brave enough to go in the closet.
Joshua is 14. He is the youngest of four kids and has seen it all. He knows what 's up and is very relaxed about school and girls and the whole party scene. His older brothers and sister they went through it and they give him advice all the time. So Josh is very chill when he gets into high school. No worries. The teachers don't seem to notice him and the kids are really immature. Josh wants to make friends with the older kids. He feels like he is more like them, more mature and worldly so he ignores his classmates and they ignore him. He can feel lonely at school and out of sorts. He looks forward to art class because a few cool older kids are in that class and he sits with them. Josh finds school more challenging than he thought it would be. He really thought everything would be really easy but it's not. Maybe he's not as smart and cool as he thought he was. Maybe he doesn't have any idea who he is. That is scaring him. But he doesn't want anyone else to know. He can't appear unsure, that is a death sentence, so he speaks with a deeper voice than he really has and starts to smoke pot during lunch with the older kids. Josh tried out for the tennis team and didn't make it. He tried out for the school play and got a tiny part he didn't take. Then he stopped trying out. Why bother. I can't fail if I don't try, he reasons. That's the safest way to get through school. Josh feels better when he is getting high and he is doing it more and more. He even got high before school the other day. That was crazy. He couldn't stop laughing, then he felt really tired and a little depressed, so he wanted to get high at lunch again, which he did.
Victoria is 15, a sophomore and gay or at least she is experimenting with being a lesbian. She's not troubled by it too much because most of the people she hangs out with hook up with anyone, boy or girl, when they're drunk. When you're drinking and getting high, there are no rules, anything goes, and the next day, you just Facebook your friends and say that you hardly remember what happened, "i was wasted." But Victoria really wants to get into a good college. She wants to make money so she can get the things she wants to get. She wants choices and freedom. She hates her parents and wants to move as far away from them as possible and she hates school but she plays by the rules because what choice does she have. She smokes pot at parties and drinks and then spends the night at a friends so her parents never know what's up. She lies to them all the time. Actually the only real problem she has is shoplifting. It's a cool thrill to go into a store and take something without paying for it. High school sucks because there is way too much work and there's just no way anyone in their right mind can keep up with it without cheating. And she needs to get into a good college so she cheats and is as sweet as she can be to her teachers. She wants them to like her even though she thinks they're all idiots, except the art teacher, she's cool. How can you like someone or even be friends with someone when you know they're going to grade you in the end and that grade will determine your future. What's that about? She lives on texting and is an amazingly fast. Her mom said she would take her phone away if she went over again. She did of course and her mom didn't of course. Adults definitely don't have it figured out. There just so consumed with following their own rules. Victoria is about making her own rules in secret so she doesn't get in trouble and hurt her chances of going to a good college.
JC is 16 and all about chilling. He thinks he probably has a learning problem because he can't remember much and his grades are bad. But that's cool. What does he need to remember anyway. He's got the school thing down. He shows up because school is where he hangs with his friends. It's about socializing – that's it. Some of the teachers are cool. The history teacher is cool to listen to. He likes the 60's. JC likes the 60's also. They don't talk personally but JC likes the way he thinks, the way he sees things. JC's into trying new things. He's done a lot of drugs. No he hasn't done opiates but he's into narcotics, prescription drugs, you know, percs and adderal. It's good stuff but he knows his limit, when it's too much. He feels pretty good about how much he has the drug thing under control. Not like some other guys he know. He gets his stuff at school and a lot of days takes something to get through the day. Otherwise it can be pretty monotonous. When you're high at school, listening to your music, being around your friends, life is pretty sweet. All you got to do is go to class and sit there. You can even put your head down and take a nap. Most teachers won't bother you and the ones that say something, you just keep your head up, yo know, resting your head on you hand. It's no big deal. JC is not interested in college. He's not thinking that far ahead. Right now, he's got a job at Stop and Shop stocking shelves where he works about 15 hours a week. JC's parents are divorced and he lives with his mom. Most nights he is home alone because his mom has to work nights. He hasn't seen his dad since he was 11. He sends birthday cards. Maybe he'll be there for graduation. No matter.
Molly is 17 and will be an 18-year-old freshman. She thought about taking a year off but is anxious that she will not make friends easily because she'll be a year older than other freshman. Molly is hyper worried that her SAT scores are good enough. She has taken a total of six AP classes and went to Kaplan to prep for the SAT I and II's. She's not taking any chances. She's hyper worried she'll be rejected from everywhere, nobody will want her. She's applied to 12 colleges and is frantic the world will then find out she's not smart and has nothing to offer, that really, she's empty inside, a feeling she's been fighting for years. It's why she stays so busy. When she slows down, she gets that feeling of dread. When that happens, she has a secret way to handle it. Absolutely no one knows she cuts and restricts. She doesn't let it get out of hand, then all hell would break loose. She does it just enough to ease the pain when it's unbearable like during exams and now cause she's waiting to find out if anyone wants her. But once she gets into college, she feels then that she can start to relax and maybe get to know herself a little bit. Molly won't have to prove to colleges she is good enough because she will be in one, that is if she gets accepted.
Social Emotional Education Addresses Mindlessness
Posted in Social Emotional Education, Youth At Risk on February 2, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Without care and attention, social and emotional learning is relegated to a kind of survival of the fittest and mindless learned behavior. A dramatic example of what could happen when children are left to themselves is explored in William Golding's chilling novel Lord of the Flies, where a group of school age boys are left to survive on their own on a deserted island. "Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart…"
We read similar stories in the newspaper every day and know that William Golding's unsparing novel about the brutality of children is not off base. Just yesterday, a "wolf pack" of seven boys attacked a 13-year-old boy while one attacker recorded it on his cell phone. Social and emotional intelligence is learned intelligence and gained through awareness, reflection and being in relationship with an invested adult world. Left on their own, children are limited in dealing with complex feelings and situations. They will act cruelly. They will do stupid things. Are they bad kids or are they not getting the right kind of education? If we don't cultivate their humanity through education that addresses their social and emotional needs, bullying will continue to happen.
No story, no matter how horrible it is, surprises me. Human beings are capable of terrible things. History teaches us this. We read about it in the newspaper or know it first hand. The media acts surprised, even righteous when these stories come out. How could this happen? When we neglect educating the whole child, we cannot expect to produce a whole human being, someone who is balanced and well adjusted. Education reaps what education sows.
We learn through experience. What is critical to the learning process is taking time to make sense of experience, to process and find meaning. Left to fend for themselves, children become reactive learners and mimic other behaviors for guidance.
Social and emotional learning should not be relegated to isolated learning opportunities where kids are taught how to behave. SEL needs to become a way of life inside the school. It's a class just for kids. It's the way teachers see and treat their students. It's the school culture with students, teachers and parents all taking part and supporting the raising of emotionally healthy children.
Sitting Apart
Posted in Education, Youth At Risk on November 17, 2010| 1 Comment »
When a child begins to struggle as Jonas, age 7, is struggling in first grade, he is quickly labeled with learning and/or behavioral problems. Tagging children is a double edged sword. Students needing help must be identified so they receive support; at the same time, labeling children with behavioral/learning problems skirts social and emotional issues that may be the source and the solution to emerging "problems."
As one teacher said, "I'm sick to death of being held responsible for whether students are happy. That's not my job. I was trained to teach, not be a therapist."
Jonas's parents are called in for their first parent/teacher conference, where Jonas's teacher, Miss Hurley, reports their son's distractedness and sociability are causing him to fall behind his classmates. Miss Hurley, a young, efficient-looking teacher, tells Louisa and Sam that Jonas is now sitting apart from the class, in his own "big boy" desk so he can better focus on the work. She gestures over to a lone desk parked next to her desk and away from the round tables where the other children sit. Sam and Louisa imagine their son there and instantly feel defensive, lonely for him and a little afraid. Is this a judgement of their parenting? Is there something wrong with Jonas? Is he different from other children?
They tell Miss Hurley that Jonas has always been a happy child but lately he seems glum, quieter, when he gets off the school bus. Some mornings, Louisa says, "He doesn't want to go to school."
These are tricky waters – protective parents, a defensive, stressed-out teacher. Miss Hurley knows that an unhappy child makes for unhappy parents and it's important to show confidence and expertise, to hide her own doubt and insecurity. She doesn't want Sam and Louisa to think she isn't a good, caring teacher but she also wants them to understand that their child is challenging, that maybe he has some issues that need addressing. But she knows she is getting ahead of herself. Today, Jonas's parents need to understand that sitting apart from the class is in the best interest of Jonas and the class.
"It's only November and some children need extra help focusing and sitting in their own big boy desk can be very helpful to them. It is by no means a punishment," Miss Hurley says, nailing the very concern Sam and Louisa are thinking about. "Other children will sporadically have their own desks throughout the year if I think it will help them focus," she adds, hoping to ease their obvious anxiety that their child has been singled out.
"School was hard for me," Sam blurts with some emotion. "I hated it and I don't want Jonas to go through what I went through."
"I understand. Of course. A lot of children have trouble adjusting to being in school all day, sitting at a desk and not talking unless they raise their hands is hard. Jonas is good at that. He always raises his hand. He clearly wants to please. Sitting apart is helping him focus on his work so he doesn't fall behind. That's all. Once he catches up, he'll rejoin the children at the round table," Miss Hurley assures Louisa and Sam. In truth, she doesn't see Jonas returning to the round tables. He's too hyper, immature and unfocused and he drags the other children down. No, it's best that he sit apart. It's best for Jonas, the class and for me, she thinks.
They ask Miss Hurley if the "desk apart" strategy is working so far. Miss Hurley reports confidently that "Jonas no longer has the opportunity to become distracted by other students, so yes, it is better for him. It's a good thing."
In the end, they have little power or knowledge to argue her decision. Probably this ernest teacher is right but there is the nagging suspicion that sitting apart from his classmates is a management tool more than it is a about Jonas and his needs. They are new at being parents of a school-age child, and clearly Miss Hurley is saying to "trust her" but Louisa and Sam hear something else, something unspoken. They hear Miss Hurley saying that she hopes Sam and Louisa don't become "those" kind of parents, the overprotective, the helicopter, the overbearing kind of parents who won't let their child struggle or fail, who blame the teacher for their child's school failure.
In the meetings that follow, Sam and Louisa have the distinct sense that Miss Hurley is doing to them what she is doing to Jonas. She has labeled and dismissed them and their concerns. She has decided they are those kind of parents, parents to be tolerated and endured. They, like Jonas, have become invisible to Miss Hurley and Miss Hurley is an impenetrable blur to them. They can no longer see each other. All they can really do is hope that next year will be better.
There Are No Bad kids – Just Bad Systems
Posted in Education, Social Emotional Education, Youth At Risk on November 5, 2010| Leave a Comment »
We have to stop blaming kids.
Like most controversial subjects in our hyper media landscape, bullying is under examination. Unfortunately, that examination is so far superficial – with predictable villains and innocents.
But the "why" of bullying is at once deeper and more complex than how it is now being described.
By now the story is disturbingly familiar. A child is bullied and traumatized by a perpetrator who has taken advantage in some malicious way. Parents are shocked and upset that their child is under attack. Teachers and school officials are flummoxed and overwhelmed by the hidden complexity of the problem. Sometimes they hide behind the cloak of school privacy or feel like deer in headlights but mostly they struggle with how to break down this very real problem.
Little is ever resolved and too often the problem is left to parents to manage their child's torment and unhappiness privately and sometimes tragically.
As readers and parents, we leave these stories angry and confused, generally blaming the perpetrator. How can children be that cruel?
As the Dalai Lama said, we are not born compassionate; we learn compassion just as we learn cruelty, empathy and kindness. We must practice our humanity to embody our humanity and schools have never been in the business of teaching what is now called social and emotional learning. As a result, left to their own devices, children often work out the more complex social and emotional aspects of who they are – on the proverbial playground – in cruel and childish ways.
When growing up, few adults guided me in the social and emotional areas of my development and little has changed. Bullying may be a more pervasive and insidious today and still, adults are notably absent.
In "Waiting for Superman," the dramatic documentary about our failing public schools, former DC School Chancellor Michele Rhee places blame on adults unwilling to put kids first in terms of getting their learning needs met.
This unwillingness to place children's learning (and developmental) needs at the forefront of education is where the problem lies. It is right that we focus on teacher effectiveness because teachers create the environment for learning. But, even the best teachers cannot take real and consistent time for non-academic needs. The problems of bullying is essentially relational and "relationship" is not taught in school.
It is the caring, attuned teacher who is most coveted by parent and student. These "special" teachers effectively communicate by naturally taking on the role of a firm but loving parent. They individualize student needs and resist branding kids as "problems." They grow alongside students and are flexible and creatively incorporate social and emotional learning into their classroom language. They understand that a well-adjusted child is a child whose mind is open to learning.
But another, more dominant group of adults have designed a system of education that ignores the social and emotional aspects of development, allowing for a Lord of the Flies mentality to take place in schools and classrooms. As one teacher said, "I'm sick to death of being held responsible for whether they're happy or not. That's not my job. My job is to make sure they are getting their education and that does not include dealing with the emotional stuff. I have no training in that and definitely no time."
Interpersonal problems between students are not the fault of kids but the fault of a system that is not tending to and caring for students' social emotional education.
There are no bad kids, just bad systems.
We need to stop blaming kids. Adults need to create learning environments that infuse students with a stronger sense of sense of self and connection to community. That is our responsibility. Not theirs.

"This may not be how you see me. But this is how I see myself"
CLASP surveyed nearly 200 youth from across 13 communities to gain better insight into the unique experiences of young people who have dropped out of high school and reconnected to career and education supports. We asked them to tell us about themselves, share their aspirations and dreams, and describe what supports were most useful in getting them back on track. What we learned was truly inspiring. Our in-depth analysis of the experiences of these formerly disconnected youth will be released in November 2010.

Гигина кућа се налази у Власотинцу у улици Лоле Рибара број 2. Гигина кућа, односно кућа Стојана Стојилковића, једног од организатора и борца за ослобођење земље од Турака, богатог власотиначког трговца, подигнута је средином XIX века. Име је добила по надимку Стојановог наследника. Кућа данас носи стастус споменика културе од великог значаја и налази се под заштитом државе.

Историја

Кућа је подигнута средином XIX века и припадала је Стојану Стојилковићу.2008. године је изгорео кров и први спрат куће

Данас се у овој спомен кући, која се налази под заштитом државе, налази библиотека "Десанка Максимовић".

Изглед куће

Овај објекат је варошка кућа стара више од 150 година и данас стоји као сведочанство стамбене културе староградске средине јужне Србије. Она истовремено указује на турско-оријентална обележја малобројног српског градског слоја тога времена. Зидана је као спратна зграда, са испуштеним спратним делом, који испред улаза, у подруму формира трем, који се ослања на дрвене стубове. У приземљу је зидана каменом и бондруком, као и чатмом на спрату. Кров је четворосливни и покривен ћерамидом. Просторије су симетично распоређене око пространог средишњег хола, који се завршава отвореном диванханом са ћошком. Таваница је богато изрезбарена долапом, миндерлуцима и иконлуком. Истиче се гостинска соба, као и друга соба која је опремљена амамџиком, долапом и пећницом, према преградном зиду мутвака у којем је зидано огњиште са ложиштем за пећ у соби.

Радови на реконструкцији

У периоду од 1979–1984. године рађени су санациони и конзерваторско-рестаураторски радови, од када кућа добија намену матичне библиотеке.

Године 2008. овај објекат је готово потпуно уништен у пожару, док је књижни фонд преполовљен. Пожар је са собом однео и Завичајну збирку која представља аутентичну историјску грађу, стару скоро два века.

Fortnite v11.40 Came With Glitches And Bugs
Ravali Reddy/ January 16, 2020 News Gaming
After a long wait, Fortnite received its new update yesterday. The update is available for Xbox One, PC, PS4, Mobile devices, and Nintendo Switch. But, the latest v11.40 update came with some glitches and bugs. These are preventing players from enjoying the update.
Some of the glitches already noticed and highlighted by the Fortnite team on Twitter. The Fortnite official account mentioned that it is focusing on the significant glitch that many of the PC players are facing after the new v11.40 update.
Players were not able to sidegrade their weapons or upgrade them. It happened when the 'Use' button assigns the same bind as the 'Sidegrade or Object Carry' button. They also gave a solution to resolve this issue. Players have to rebind or use a secondary key for the Object Carry or Sidegrade button.
The next glitch is the audio in the game. Several PC players of Fortnite reported that after the 11.40 update, their game sound completely went off. All the sounds, including lobby emote, in-game sounds like their HUD interface audio, microphone sounds gone.
Since the update released after ages, it was very disappointing for the players to find the bugs and glitches. As of now, the game sound issue is still under review. The fix for this issue is not yet implemented.
There is another glitch that is actually an advantage for the players. Players can catch victims and hit them right from their builds. The ability to shoot through the walls is now a thing after the v11.40 update of Fortnite.
Most of the stone and wooden structures in the game have gaps and holes in them. And now, it is possible to shoot at the enemy on the other end of the structure through those gaps.
Furthermore, a YouTuber, Ant Antixx demonstrated through his video on how to shoot enemies through the holes.

Full Name: Shia LaBeouf
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Relationship Status: Dating Mia Goth
Birthday: June 11, 1986
Born in June 1986, in Los Angeles, Shia LaBeouf got his start doing stand up at the local coffee shops in his neighborhood. He first made a splash in television on the Disney Channel in the title role of the sitcom Even Stevens. He even won a daytime Emmy for his performance.
Since appearing on the Disney Channel, LaBeouf has transformed himself from innocent Disney star to Hollywood megastar by appearing in 2003's Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, 2006's A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, 2007's Disturbia and Transformers and 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
In July 2008, LaBeouf was arrested for drunk driving after an early morning crash.


Switzerland (German: Schweiz, French: Suisse, Italian: Svizzera, Romansch: Svizra, Latin: Confoederatio Helvetica) is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It has borders with France to the west, Italy to the south, Austria and Liechtenstein to the east and Germany to the north. The climate is temperate, but varies with altitude. Switzerland has cold, cloudy, rainy/snowy winters and cool to warm, cloudy, humid summers with occasional showers. Switzerland is known for its mountains (Alps in south, Jura in northwest) but it also has a central plateau of rolling hills, plains, and large lakes. The highest point is Dufourspitze at 4,634m while Lake Maggiore is only 195m above sea level.
Switzerland's independence and neutrality have long been honored by the major European powers and Switzerland has not been involved in any military conflict since 1815. The political and economic integration of Europe over the past half century, as well as Switzerland's role in many UN and international organizations has strengthened Switzerland's ties with its neighbors. However, the country did not officially become a UN member until 2002. Switzerland remains active in many UN and international organizations, but retains a strong commitment to neutrality. Switzerland showcases three of Europe's most distinct cultures. To the northeast is the clean and correct, 8-to-5-working, stiffer Swiss-German-speaking Switzerland; to the southwest you find the wine drinking and laissez-faire style known from the French; in the southeast, south of the Alps, the sun warms cappuccino-sippers loitering in Italian-style piazzas; and in the center: classic Swiss alphorns and mountain landscapes. Binding it all together is a distinct Swiss mentality.

In collaboration with Derck Littel.
Performed at SoundSide in the Royal College of Art, December 2017.
The 14 active computer-speakers are only powered with a handmade power supply in DC and there's no sound going through them. The ground noise, 50 Hz hum, that nobody desires normally, is all the output. The hum can be amplified by grounding the plugs in different ways and sometimes it changes the pitch a little, yet it's terribly out of tune. During the performance we use the noise as a compositional element and Derck improvises to it with his cello.
Conceptually the work was made for the Night of the Broken Glass (link var) but applies to a larger frame. The anthropomorphic set up points to any similar situations where people could have a voice but remain silent with a consonant hum. The grey speakers represent both the masses and a graveyard.

Skoda Slavia Sketches Officially Revealed
03/11/2021 - 14:00 | Skoda Slavia, Skoda, Car news | IAB Team
Skoda has released two official design sketches that offer a glimpse of the much-awaited Skoda Slavia, before the official presentation in November 2021. The second new model from the INDIA 2.0 project follows the Skoda Kushaq SUV introduced in early 2021 and is a premium midsize sedan for the A0 segment. The Slavia is, likewise, produced locally in Pune and based on the MQB-A0-IN version of the Volkswagen Group's Modular Transverse Toolkit, which has been specifically adapted by Skoda for the Indian market.
The first of the two design sketches features the Slavia's front and silhouette. The model's name evokes the early days of the company and the first bicycles sold in Mladá Boleslav from 1896 by founding fathers Václav Laurin and Václav Klement and means glory in the Czech language.
The image shows the car's low front section, including a wide, hexagonal Skoda grille, extending all the way to slender, sharply defined headlights that feature an L-shaped daytime running light strip. Also visible are the coupé-style silhouette and long wheelbase, as well as a distinctive badge with the Skoda wordmark on the front wings.
The second sketch focuses on the rear of the new Skoda Slavia. The sedan's roofline slopes gently towards the rear, where it merges elegantly and smoothly into the boot lid. Adding further touches to the model's distinctive looks are the Skoda wordmark in block letters and a rear apron with a chrome strip. In addition, reflectors on either side emphasise the vehicle's width. Featuring the signature C-shaped Skoda lights design, the taillights are divided into two parts and extend into the boot lid.
In terms of engineering, the Skoda Slavia is based on the locally developed and produced MQB A0-IN platform, already designed to meet India's new, stricter safety and emissions specifications. Like the successful Skoda Kushaq introduced recently, the new premium midsize sedan was mostly developed at the Skoda Volkswagen India Technology Centre in Pune.

The Austrian Group has bought the Kodersdorf sawmill in Saxony from the Klausner Group in 2015. Since then, the company has been working on the expansion of production capacities.
Today, sawn and planed products are produced at the sawmill, in particular for the markets in Japan and the USA. The plant has a cutting capacity of 1 million cubic meters of roundwood and a planing capacity of 360,000 cubic meters. Schweighofer employs at Kodersdorf around 430 people.
In total, about 30 million euros will be invested in wood processing, including wood drying plants, over the next two years. In the future, investments will also be used to produce not only sawn and planed products, but also glue products, which are particularly used in Asian house construction - especially in Japan.
The expansion is intended to create not only a significant increase in added value, but also around 100 additional jobs will be added by the beginning of 2019.


BELLEVUE, Wash. (Jan. 15, 2019) – Puget Sound Energy continues its commitment to help the environment and human services organizations through its "Powerful Partnerships" program. This year, PSE selected 24 nonprofit organizations across its 6,000 square mile service area to receive $200,000.
In addition to providing funding to the organizations, PSE will also partner with them to educate their clients, employees and donors on ways to save energy and money on their bills, as well as safety and emergency preparedness. These partnerships allow PSE to enhance community engagement and awareness by focusing its giving efforts.
One organization that will benefit from being a partner is WSU Extension-King County, which collaborates with communities to create a culture of life-long learning and is recognized for its accessible, learner-centered, relevant, high-quality and unbiased educational programs.
"WSU Extension will be using the funds to increase our food and nutrition education and outreach to limited income audiences including refugee and immigrant communities in south and east King County," said WSU Extension King County Director Kevin Wright.
Eastside Baby Corner (EBC) will also benefit from our partnership as they continue to help families in need.

The Beatles were right when they crooned, "I get by with a little help from my friends." The friendships we forge as we go along our journey of life constitute an integral part of it. They say that every individual has two families- one is the family we are related to by birth, we really have no say in who we are related to; the other family is formed by all the friends we make throughout the course of our lives. This second family is made up people we have carefully selected ourselves, through an arduous process of trial and error, might I add. This family that we choose for ourselves has a massive role to play in how we turn out as human beings, perhaps more so than the family assigned to us since birth.
It is usually with the members of this second family of choice that we share our deepest and darkest secrets, confess our love to, make our worst decisions, share our first experience of alcohol and the subsequent hangover the next morning; essentially speaking, these are the people who have seen our bests and worsts with equal measure. The bond of friendship is sometimes the strongest ones we carry with us to the grave even.
And then there are those special ones, those friends who are our rocks, our lighthouses, our North stars, our fix of a steaming cup of coffee on a Monday morning at work, our best friends. Every one of us can agree that life would never have been nearly as livable or fun without these people, whose mere presence makes the darkest nights seem a little more brighter. There are some things a woman can share with her best friends which she cannot share with anyone else, not even her boyfriend. In a boyfriend vs best friend situation, the best friends almost always win. There, we said it. As bitter as this statement might be for a lot of boyfriends, it's the truth and the sooner they accept this as a fact of life, the happier they will be.
Every woman needs her set of gal pals, best friends who are ready to turn the earth upside down for her. And I don't mean it in the "I love you so much I can fetch the moon and the stars" way. No. This is more like the "I love you so much that if anyone even so much as disturbs a hair on your head I will unleash hell on them and nothing can stop me" way. I wish I was exaggerating but I'm not. Not even in the slightest. There is nothing more terrifying than a group of angry best friends. PSA to all men out there who are in a relationship with a woman: do not piss off the best friends if you value your life and relationship. No matter how unbreakable you think your masculinity may be, you do not stand a chance against them, trust me on this.
It's a shame that we don't celebrate female friendships as much they deserve to be. There has always, always been this heavily stereotyped view of women being constantly catty to each other, constantly competing against each other for the attention of the men in their lives, talking behind each other's backs and just generally being terrible toward each other. Of course, this may be true in certain toxic friendships, but in no way is this the norm of all female friendships. Amid the constant sexism, violence and marginalization that every woman faces in her day to day life, female friendships offer that much needed sense of respite and belonging. No matter how big of a feminist a man is, there are just some things that he will never understand. And this incapability to understand is due to the fact that men just haven't faced these issues in their lives. They might be aware of them, but they do not share the same lived experiences. And that's when a woman needs other women to express solidarity and validation for those experiences, to remind her that she is not alone in her struggles. After all, we draw our strengths from each other.
Besides, behind every successful and powerful woman, are her best girl friends who are cheering her on and appreciating her for the queen that she is. When it comes to providing support and encouragement, in a boyfriend vs best friend battle, the best friend always wins. You have no idea of the kind of power possessed by a group of women chanting "Slay Kween" for their friend. We also need our girlfriends to indulge us with some girl talk from time to time. Boyfriends can rarely comprehend or relate to your complaints about how certain odours tend to completely put you off when you're PMS-ing. Neither can they understand why you wrote those 30 chapter long fan-fiction novels about One Direction when you were 14, but your best friends totally can. In fact, they were the ones who proofread every chapter for you and helped you set up that Wattpad account.
It is also around her best friends that a woman is most comfortable. With boyfriends, there is that need to look effortlessly and casually attractive even when you're not doing anything. Our best friends have borne witness to the goblin that lives under our perfectly sculpted facades. The one who sometimes doesn't bathe for three days in a row, and eats cake with both her hands like a neanderthal, and spends hours just lying on her bed, and hasn't cleaned her room in months, and hated Catcher In The Rye but pretends to like it because everyone else does, and sometimes maybe even digs her nose. To put in a nutshell, it is easier to be the worst versions of ourselves around our best friends, than in the company of our boyfriends whom we're constantly under pressure to impress.
A woman also needs her share of male best friends. It is a precious kind of camaraderie founded upon inappropriate humor and tenderness. Men usually find it easier to access their emotional, vulnerable sides when they are around their female best friends due to the fact that women are generally considered to be more nurturing and accepting of emotional vulnerability. Of course, the downside to this is that women are often used as the emotional punching bag in these friendships and are expected to go around mollycoddling all the men in their lives; but sometimes, with the right people, it can blossom into friendships that last for eternity. These are friendships which see you through your good times and the tough ones as well.
The best thing about friendships is its effortlessness. Part of why friendships are easier to maintain than romantic relationships is that it requires less effort. You can not talk to your best friend for weeks and months, and still come back to where you had left it off. And everything will be exactly the way it was. In a relationship, you can't just up and disappear, and expect everything to remain the same when you come back. Relationships require a lot more accountability and compromise, which is why they are so daunting. In this case, it is natural to want to surround yourself with people who you don't have to bother about such things with.

But sometimes, a woman's best friend is her boyfriend. Like André Aciman had written in his novel Call Me By Your Name, "Perhaps we were friends first and lovers second. But then perhaps this is what lovers are." The best romantic relationships are those which are founded on friendship. We often make the mistake of treating friendship and love as two mutually exclusive and opposing concepts, but sometimes they're the same thing. One is not superior to the other. It is very much possible for the same person to embody both. You can't have a healthy relationship with a person without getting to know them first, and you can't get to know someone better without first being friends with them. Otherwise it's called stalking and that's disturbing on multiple levels. Even if your boyfriend isn't your best friend, you should at least be close enough to know each other well. I've seen way too many relationships fail miserably because neither of the people involved took time out to actually find out about each other; they plunged headfirst into the relationship on the basis of a hint of a spark which was misinterpreted as chemistry.
In a stable relationship, there usually isn't a boyfriend vs best friend feud. Of course, there will always be somethings you can tell your best friends only. But it's not a competition because neither love nor friendship is about competition and pitting one against the other.
In a boyfriend vs best friend situation, the best friends always win. There, we said it. As bitter as this might be for some boyfriends, it's the truth.
I'm 18 years old. I enjoy reading, writing, and watching good movies. I'm passionate about words, food, and music. I'm slightly introverted but I enjoy the company of people too. On weekends, I like to stay up all night reading poetry. Slightly awkward with a nihilistic sense of humor.

Napa's Earthquake Is Not The Only Thing Shaking The Vineyards
Violence gave birth to more variations of soil than can be found in all of France. That makes for unparalleled wines, but also for the dangerous temptation to label every variety as unique.
Clive Irving
Updated Apr. 14, 2017 3:10PM ET / Published Aug. 31, 2014 6:45AM ET
Robert Galbraith/Reuters
Some time ago, say a few million years ago, several tectonic plates collided. The resulting geological violence created two adjacent valleys in northern California. Things never quite settled down and occasionally the earth still rocks, as it did in Napa a week ago.
"Now I know we're on top of a fault," said a friend of mine in Napa, surprised. Geology is a two-faced phenomenon. On the one hand it can bless you with exceptional land for growing grapes. On the other it can destroy you.
But even without help from a restless tectonic plate, folks in the Napa Valley get easily agitated. Just mention the word Sonoma. That would be the neighboring valley. Both valleys are lodestars of the Californian wine industry. Both produce some wines good enough to challenge the well-bred conceits of wine makers in Burgundy and Bordeaux. But easy companions they are not—it's almost as though there is a cultural fault line to match the geological one.
For example, a winemaker I know in Sonoma took some family and friends to dinner at the French Laundry in Napa, the swankiest restaurant in the two valleys. He spent more than $1,000 on wine at the dinner. Not one of the wines came from Napa. The sommelier got the message.
Napa thinks of itself as aristocratic. The loftiest noses among the winemakers inhale the finest of scents from the tasting glass and proclaim another masterpiece. In Sonoma they behave more like farmers, happy running alluvial soil through their hands to sniff what it might promise in a grape, disdaining pretension.
Two pieces of history define the difference.
Nobody did more to establish Napa as a world player in serious wine than Robert Mondavi. Under his guidance (he generously inspired and assisted anyone who asked), land that had progressed from producing altar wine to bulk wine was, by the 1960s, beginning to produce fine vintage wines.
Mondavi also realized the value of coaxing trophy names from Bordeaux into opening wineries in Napa. He began in 1979 by uniting with Baron Philippe de Rothschild to invest $20 million in a winery to produce a Cabernet Sauvignon called Opus One. In 1982 he helped to persuade a rising superstar of Bordeaux, Christian Moueix, to make wine in Napa under the label of Dominus.
A bottle of the 2009 vintage of Moueix' Bordeaux wine, Chateau Petrus, the most exquisite of all Merlots, fetches $4,500. Neither Opus One nor Dominus get even close to that eye-watering price—their best vintages sell for between $150 and $300 a bottle. But that's not the point. With lavish wineries (Dominus's 50,000 square foot winery was designed by the Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron) and their high aesthetic, the French gave a tone of social superiority to Napa that it freely indulges.
Now we have to skip west to Sonoma where, in the 1880s, Giuseppe Martinelli and Luisa Velletuni arrived as immigrants from Tuscany. The hills of the remote Green Valley Creek near the Russian River reminded Giuseppe of home. In a few years he scraped together enough money to buy a hill that he sensed had great potential for a vine that few bothered with, Zinfandel. Nobody else thought that his patch, on a 60-degree angled slope, was viable as a vineyard. Somebody said, "only a jackass would farm a slope that steep." When Giuseppe arrived in the valley, apple orchards were the cash crop, not vines.
Fast forward to today. A bottle of the Martinelli Jackass Hill 2010 Zinfandel costs about $100—if you can find it. Among lovers of Zinfandel—including me—this is the Petrus of the category. After Giuseppe's death his son Leno stuck with the project (other winemakers were still saying the effort was crazy) until he was 89; Leno turned it over to his son Lee. The Martinellis produce other great wines in Sonoma, but Jackass Hill with its very limited production is their pride and joy and the winery still has the feel of a farm, not an aesthetic showpiece.
It's not surprising that Giuseppe found the Sonoma hinterland as bucolic as Tuscany, but closer to the Pacific the treeline was far higher and more majestic than anything in Italy. The coastal highlands are still thick with monumental redwoods, the youthful trunks pressed between the old and soaring a hundred feet or more. Long before vineyards lifted both the value and the appeal of land, northern California's appeal was largely to outdoorsmen.
In Europe valleys like Napa and Sonoma long ago developed the other arms of fine living that wine lovers expect, restaurants and hotels. Napa did that much sooner than Sonoma, during the 1970s and 80s, thanks to the sudden sophistication of its wines and an influx of wine buffs from San Francisco.
In Sonoma it had to wait for Burt Williams to show his hand. Williams was a typesetter in San Francisco when he had an instinct that in Sonoma's Russian River Valley there was a microclimate ideal for making the wine he loved above all others, pinot noir. With partner Ed Selyem, Williams began making wine in 1981 from what was little more than an expanded garage. By the end of the 1980s the Williams and Selyem pinot noirs were fooling experts in blind tastings into saying that they were from Burgundy.
It's only in the last decade that Sonoma has acquired an infrastructure of restaurants and hotels worthy of its wines, many of them in and around the attractive small city of Healdsburg. But as this happened, the winemakers who followed Williams and Selyem were busy damaging the reputation of the wines rather than spreading it.
It's all about a finite precision in how a wine is labeled.
Because of the tectonic violence in which it was born, the Russian River Valley contains more variations of soil than in the whole of France. Colossal geological forces collided: the Pacific Plate, the North American Plate and the Farralon Plate. Volcanoes spewed lava and ash, ocean floors were thrust upward, sand and rock and shale settled into slurry. The soil variations are acute enough that they can differ radically from one side of a road to another. For example, up the road from Williams and Selyem is a winemaker of equal brilliance, Tom Rochioli, but his land, which begins on a rich alluvial shelf and extends into hills, has a wide range of characteristics in small lots each ideal for a different kind of grape.
In Burgundy, working with the same grapes, principally pinot noir and chardonnay, the quality and distinctiveness of a wine is authenticated by having its own appellation. The greatest Burgundies come from a low escarpment, the Cote d'Or, where the appellations are minutely prescribed, with 32 grands crus in a 30-mile stretch.
Everybody making pinot noir lives in the shadow of one tiny vineyard in Burgundy, the 4.4 acres of La Romanee-Conti. Its microclimate and soil cannot be replicated, nor can the wine (a bottle of the 1999 vintage fetches $1,795). In Bordeaux the astronomical prices for Petrus reflect another exact and inimitable act of nature and grape, the 28-acre vineyard's unique crown of clay where Merlot—a notoriously skittish grape—surpasses all competitors.
In the U.S. the equivalent of an appellation is called an American Viticultural Area. An AVA is decided, incredibly, not by wine connoisseurs but by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. And it has become a system far more driven by the demands of branding and marketing than by recognizing clearly discrete locality. The most egregious example of how this works has been played out in the Russian River Valley.
The valley received its first AVA in 1983, when it covered 95,800 acres. That was already too large for it to accurately describe one definitive style in wine or even which grapes were used—there were many. However, once the valley's reputation reached well beyond California and into the cellars of major restaurants in Chicago and New York because of wines like those made by Williams and Selyem, others wanted to ride on their coat-tails.
The three words, Russian River Valley, were in the process of becoming a brand, not a wine. The Russian River Wine Growers Association, dominated by bulk producers, pushed to expand the AVA, and in 2005 the ATF granted an extension to 126,600 acres, or around 150 square miles. Even that was not enough. In 2011, largely because of pressure from the Gallo wine empire, it was extended again to more than 169,000 acres. (Within it there is a small sub-zone called Green Valley.)
The result is that the term Russian River Valley on a label is meaningless. I have tasted pinot noirs made within a mile or so of the Williams-Selyem vineyards on Westside Road that were spectacularly awful—thin, tart and unbalanced. On the same road, Tom Rochioli makes chardonnays that raise this over-produced grape to the same heights as many on the Cote d'Or, while nearby other chardonnays from vastly inferior land are little better than jug wine.
Those supporting the ballooning and indiscriminate Russian River Valley appellation use the specious argument that it should not be confined to the relatively narrow path of the river from an inner plain through the hills to the Pacific. They say that all the AVA's vineyards—no matter how far they are from the actual river—are on land that drains into the Russian River, and which comes under the influence of the vast, endemic octopus of maritime fog that moves from San Francisco Bay and Bodega Bay into the river valleys and cools them, becoming a decisive agent in the mystical alchemy of wine making.
This is nonsense. Any appellation this large has the effect of creating, at best, a huge mid-band of mediocre wines selling at supermarket prices that don't deliver any message particular to place, as well as a glut of really nasty cheap wine, while the wines of real integrity have to establish reputations of their own and are often not apparent to anyone but dedicated wine buffs.
And it would be nice if in both Napa and Sonoma they were able finally to gain the self-esteem to break free of comparisons with European prototypes. You never hear a Bordeaux wine maker say his wine can hold its own with a bottle of Opus One, or a Burgundian say his pinot noir reminds him of a Rochioli. Maybe then Napa and Sonoma could get the chops to design an appellation regime of integrity.
When it comes to Zinfandel no comparisons are possible between France and California because no relationship exists. For a long while Zinfandel was the mystery grape, apparently sui generis except that nobody knew where it came from. It was introduced to California in the 1850s by a Hungarian nobleman, Agoston Haraszthy, although there is no record of how or where he got hold of it. (Experts suspect its origins were in Apulia, southern Italy, where Primitivo is similar…or in Yugoslavia. Whatever.)
In any event, thanks to Jackass Hill and some other growers who saw that it was a perfect match for certain microclimates and soils in Sonoma, Zinfandel is really an all-American phenomenon. At its best it's what I call a deep wine, with a darkness than contains layers of fruit flavors all held together until the mouth discerns their individuality. This is a wine for meat and game, as good as many that cost many times as much simply because they have a French or Italian provenance.
The best Zinfandels come from either the Martinelli vineyards in Green Valley or from the Dry Creek Valley, directly north of the Russian River Valley. West Dry Creek Road has a bunch of good Zinfandel vineyards, of which Rafanelli is, in my experience, the best. Rafanelli has 15 acres of Zinfandel on a fold of small hills that look like clove-spiked turkey breasts.
But the Rafanellis are cranky. The family has been there since the early 1900s, selling as much as they can make only from the vineyard, never from retail outlets. Some time ago I called in search of a case of a good vintage. I was told to return the next day but could not, so I didn't get the wine. A wine critic friend of mine asked for an interview with the winemaker but was told it was "inconvenient." A sommelier told me that his name for the family was "Rudinelli."
All this makes me want the wine even more, but the only way I can fulfill the dream is to hunt for it on a few restaurant wine lists.
Zinfandel's reputation suffers from the thousands of gallons of white and pink versions churned out by bulk producers, an abomination. In the hands of those who really understand it nothing better comes out of California. Sometimes, drinking it, I can feel the earth move.

Q: Android - Load properties file on application launch Is there some part of the code that is always executed on application launch, regardless of the activity, where we have access to the context?
I need api keys for my application. I store them in a .properties file in asset, and access this file from context.getRessources().getAssets() every time I need to load them.
key = getKey(getContext())

I'd like to have a static variable storing them once they have been succesfully accessed once. But since I don't know when they will be accessed for the first time, I need to do something like
if(isKeySet()){
    key = getKey();
} else {
    setKey(getContext());
}

Which is not ideal, since I still have to pass a context. If I could make sure one part of the code is always executed (with access to the context), I could load them here and every subsequent call
key = getKey();

A: You can use the Android Application class. It extends Context and is a base class to store the global application state.
public class MyApplication extends Application
{
    private static MyApplication mSingleton;

    @Override
    public void onCreate()
    {
        super.onCreate();
        mSingleton = this;
    }

    public static MyApplication getInstance() {
        return mSingleton;
    }
}

In androidManifest.xml, you need to add android:name="com.X.Y.Z.MyApplication" in <application>
Now when your app launch, it will launch MyApplication.onCreate method.
After the call to super.onCreate(), you have access to getApplicationContext() and can initialise your singleton.

I have studied numerous ingredients in literally hundreds of skin, hair, and home cleaning products and along with some merchandise, for the same. In nearly every other category, I am very well versed in sensory issues. Sleep aids, bedding, eye wear, waterproof wear, bug free solutions, clothing, food, hair products, skin products, and even many intimate tools types, like condom's. I have tried nearly all the skin and hair products out there for sensitive skin. And sometimes, even took notes on my experiences with them. I interact daily with others with high functioning to significant and moderately impaired folks with disabilities. Or how I prefer to think of it, the differently abled community. And have been for years now.
I promise you my advice never only comes from my experiences with them. However, in some cases. That should be enough. I've read numerous reviews on some of the merchandise. And have thouroughly searched online and off for the best prices on the recommended products. This is NOT the only methods or places my research comes from.
If you aren't here due to ASD, SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder or the like) effecting you or those you care about please note some of the posts are more relevant to your situation, then others. I sincerely hope atleast some of you respond to my posts and let me know what you think, and how the info. helps you. If at all. If you take action with my advice, it will help you lead a healthier, and happier life. I strive off action and deeply appreciate constructive criticism, when needed.
About criticism. Due to being a Disability Advocate I can and often due handle criticism carefully/ wisely. However, I shouldn't have to. Just because, I understand intent of ASD ( Autistic Spectrum Disorder) people better then most, I'd ideally prefer to hear more appropriate comments/ criticism's. So, if you need help wording any constructive criticism, please get that BEFORE sharing it with the world. Even though, this blog is written in aspie tongue as much as possible, it certainly didn't have to be. I did it deliberately for my widest audience to comprehend, like I said. I wrote with an ASD adult in mind. Despite any diagnose they may or may not have. More specifically, a high functioning ASD adult community. With that said, if you seriously want to send me feedback and aren't sure if commenting after a post would be appropriate. You may sign up to my e-mail sensory group and then you may e-mail me whatever feedback you have privately.
If you want more from me then what these posts include. Please sign up for my Newsletter. To do this, send me an e-mail to DisabilityAdvocate1@mail.com with the subject saying, atleast Sensory Solution's sign up. Please say in the body of the E- mail atleast your first name, a working e-mail address. If your 1. Someone with a MCS, PSD, or similar issue (And if you would, your diagnosis or suspected one) 2- a caregiver, 3-close friend of someone with any related or exact condition, 4- family member, 5-lover, 6- professional interested in it (If you are a professional in the special needs field, I'd love if you told me what type of professional), 7 -other.
And you'll be connected to knowing everything up to date about Alexandrea in the sensory world of what, links she recommends and why, and other time sensitive info. Also, if you wish to contact me, I encourage that too, via e-mail after signing up.
PS. If that e-mail gets uncontrollable amounts of spam, I'll take the address down and likely delete that mailbox. Please, don't ruin access to me, for everyone.

Hodges Square in Connecticut a Possible Historic District
Nationally recognized as a leading authority in cultural resource management, Dr. R. Christopher Goodwin earned a PhD in archaeology from Arizona State University. Dr. Goodwin is the president, CEO, and director of research at R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, Inc., headquartered in New Orleans and with multiple offices across the country. One of the projects that the firm has undertaken is architectural survey, research and assessment of the historic Hodges Square neighborhood in New London, Connecticut.
This evaluation is designed to prepare a nomination for Hodges Square to the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district. The New London County Courthouse and the New London Public Library are already listed in the National Register of Historic Places. If the entire Hodges Square neighborhood is included in the Register, some economic benefits may accrue to property owners, including tax credits for rehabilitation, as well as helping to make them eligible for federal funding following future hurricanes or other natural disasters.
This project is a component of a bigger, multi-phase effort designed to protect historic properties around the coast of Connecticut, which is being managed by the State Historic Preservation Office of Connecticut.

Dutch Passion - Mazar. Free US delivery.
Mazar originated in the 1980s as an Afghan/Skunk cross and was improved in 1997. It is an indica-dominant plant and one of Dutch Passion's all-time best-sellers.
Mazar grows squat with a Christmas tree shape that produces plenty of side-branches giving many bud sites. It is a hardy plant with great hybrid vigour and is therefore a good choice for new growers as it is difficult to mess up.
Indoors flowering takes 8.5 weeks or so to produce very large crops. Such is the size of the buds, and with the amount of resin they contain, that the plant will need supporting if the branches are nor to snap. Unlike Master Kush this strain does exude extremely strong odours and if growing near neighbours it is strongly recommended to install carbon-filtering.
