Offenbach Collecting Point Album and Menorah
The Monuments Men Foundation for the Preservation of Art decided to donate two important objects to the Dallas Holocaust Museum/Center for Education and Tolerance.
The first is a seven-branch menorah, one of thousands stolen or displaced during World War II as the Nazis exterminated Jewish communities and looted their belongings. This donation follows in the same vein as the JCR (Jewish Cultural Reconstruction, Inc.), created at the end of the war to aid the Monuments Men in the return of religious and cultural objects that belonged to victims of the Holocaust found in the U.S. Zone of Occupation. Later, the JCR served as trustee to heirless cultural property and made decisions about the distribution of these items guided by a commitment to perpetuate the cultural heritage of the Jewish people.
The second object is a wartime album containing 46 tipped-in photographs showing daily work activities of the Monuments Men at the Offenbach Archival Depot, one of three principal collecting points for cultural treasures and works of art looted by the Nazis
during World War II. Monuments Man Corporal Rouben Sami received this album from Monuments Officer Captain Isaac Bencowitz, Director of the Offenbach Archival Depot, in recognition of Sami's work at that facility. The Rouben Sami album now joins the list of other known albums at the Algemeen Rijksarchief in The Hague; at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem; at the New York Public Library in New York City; and at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland.

There is 1 review for 'Dark Gate'.
A fun job system... and that's about it.
The job system is reminescent (as has been said in the forums) of FF5, although the sprites of the characters don't change which is a big deal visually. But honestly, that's the least of the problems of this game.
For one, the movement speed in dungeons is outright sluggish, to the point where going through any dungeon is a chore. Then, the encounter rate is absolutely ridiculous, to the point where getting "Stealth" (a skill you get from a high tier class) to greatly reduce them is practically invaluable. I ended playing through the last dungeon with Stealth on and immediately using Ditch (instant escape) the minute I entered a fight, and that's not a good thing.
In the endings. Which is another swing and a miss, because the game clearly wants you to get the Special Ending. But to do so, you need to have two specific characters in your party. This is a very, very bad idea! Why would you put the True Ending behind having leveled two specific characters? I was lucky to have read the need to have them in your party and used them from the start. And even then, the Special Ending ends abruptly and doesn't deliver much more in terms of story – just that the real Final Boss of the game is hidden behind that ending.
And there's the problem: It has multiple endings, with all the characters, but none really get you to that point. Why would you do that? All the characters' endings should have been done as cutscenes in the real ending.
The optional content is terrible, except for the quests (and the quests should not make you kill 50 of any enemy, eesh!). Four 100 floor dungeons appear at the end of the game, and the bosses at the end hint at something going on behind the scenes that you didn't know about, but nothing comes of it. And the bosses are not challenging, they're stat grinds. If you're not strong enough, you can't hurt them at all, and if you are, you can just mash your attacks until they die.
Finally, the combat system, at least, is quite entertaining, it may not be for everyone but I found it really fun to alternate the autoattacks/item use with the skills, which use two different timers, and skills can be saved up to 3 simultaneous uses. I actually enjoyed this.
So, all in all, I would love if in the future, Hit Point considered scrapping everything about this game except the class system and maybe the combat system and tried again – but this game in particular is a dud. Oh, and I hope they never again lock the hardest difficulty setting behind a paywall, even if it costs less than a dollar.
DarkGate is basically FF5 but with more jobs.

Suburgatory: Changing People
You can't change the way other people think and act. Tessa realizes this while running for student body president. Lisa's brother, "The Body," realizes this when he's mourned after a major injury. Lisa realizes this when her parents forget the attention they were giving her after her brother "is healed." Students will continue to want "easy" classes like gym, attention won't be given to those who don't stand out in the crowd, and Sheila and her husband will continue to shower praise on their child who is an athletic star. These aren't great things, but in Chatswin, they're truth. Unfortunately, there's another truth: bodies matter. In this episode, Ryan is held in the highest esteem because of his athleticism when it comes to the wrestling mat, and is ignored as soon as he's temporarily in a wheelchair. The student body president resigns because she's gained weight. The basis of Kaitlyn and Kamantha's campaign is that they have tight bodies. Dallas won't be satisfied until she has the whitest teeth possible. FIVE blatant instances of the importance placed on the body. Now, I know that the title of the episode is "The Body," so that could very well be what they're going for, but doesn't it disturb you? Even in the "this fictional world is awful" way?
Suburgatory "The Body" (S01E14): Lisa's brother is an excellent wrestler and has earned the nickname, "The Body." Everyone treats him like gold and carries him around on their shoulders. Sheila's family has a celebratory dinner of venison marinara for him, but he had burgers with his friends so he's not hungry. This pisses off Lisa, who was made to wait an unknown (but presumably long) period of time to eat. [I couldn't believe that even his parents carried him to the car!] When Ryan loses a meet and tears his ACL, the family hold the equivalent of a wake for him. His parents begin to treat Lisa like Ryan doesn't exist - giving her his dessert and asking about what she'd like for dinner. Ryan feels disowned, so he goes to George's and asks to live there. [SO awkward!] George takes him to talk to a disabled artist, then sings him a song with a guitar, which teaches him to play through the pain... though he takes it to a bit of an extreme. In fact, hee gets out of his wheelchair with tons of pain, struggles around the yard a bit, then walks home, trampling the one flower in George's garden. [oh yeah, there's a mini-story going on about George deciding to garden. nothing really happens, tho.] Ryan requests "tuna and shells" for dinner because it's Lisa's favorite, though he does insult her a few times along the way. [I liked that he did something nice, even if he doesn't understand why.]
(ABC/MICHAEL ANSELL)
Lisa actually did have something to celebrate... she's a campaign manager at school. See, the student body president has stepped down because of "unexpected fatness," and Dalia's friends, the "thin twins," are running on a platform that would double the gym requirement. [did the former president drop out of school or what? you'd think we'd hear from her during the campaign otherwise. Plus, doesn't the VP normally step up in situations like this?] Tessa opposes this (she's failing gym and thinks that it shouldn't take the place of academic class time), so she runs against them. Dalia acts as the campaign manager for the twins, and Lisa is Tessa's. But, the first of twelve [!!] debates is "why are you so fly?," to which the twins write and perform a song for "The Body," while Tessa talks about "what makes a hero." But, when she's getting no support, she busts out an impromptu song about the kid in class who got a perfect score on his PSATs. [both songs = bad.] She also talks about how sports are dumb and proposes that they make gym an elective, which only causes the student body to think she's "racist" against jocks. Tessa decides that she won't change these people, so she quits the election. But, since Dalia got bored running the other campaign, Tessa finagled the spot for Lisa. [isn't "campaign manager" close enough to "event planner" that Dalia should be thrilled? Or no, since the budget is so much smaller?]
There's also a short plot about Dallas whitening her teeth. Noah won't go whiter, since it'll leave her with sensitive gums, so she goes somewhere else to make them "as white as is legal." [We're supposed to believe that Noah turning down Dallas is actually because he's taking her husband's side with the divorce... but that didn't come through very well.]

Shalini Kurapati, Clearbox AI: "synthetic data solves the privacy problems that companies face when implementing AI"
Cybernews Team
With so much business data these days, handling and analyzing large datasets requires a new, privacy-first approach.
Over the last few years, the demand for new digital tools like antivirus security measures or automation tools skyrocketed. While companies are especially eager to implement AI solutions, our guest today emphasizes that not every company has the expertise needed to use this technology to its full potential.
To discuss how AI technologies can help overcome data challenges, we invited Shalini Kurapati Co-founder and CEO, Clearbox AI – a company allowing organizations to share and access sensitive data through synthetic data generation powered by AI.
Would you like to share what has the journey been like for Clearbox AI?
Clearbox AI's journey has been propelled by our team's pragmatic idealism and a penchant for innovation. We've always loved to implement the newest AI technologies to solve business problems. Our professional and personal paths across Europe converged in Turin, Italy, where we decided to join forces to pursue a shared mission: to enable responsible AI adoption in companies. That's how Clearbox AI was born in 2019.
We have since worked hard on listening closely to customers and understanding the challenges that they face to harness AI technologies. The AI progress in companies is often hindered by the problems related to privacy, fairness, and bias, due to data access, sharing, and quality issues.
As a startup, our journey is always evolving and (pleasantly) surprising us. We are currently in an exciting stage where we are able to derive satisfaction in helping companies to overcome these challenges with tangible results. All this while grounding our work in the principles of ethical AI.
As a matter of fact, we have been recently selected as awardees of the Women TechEU project by the European Commission. Our solutions play a fundamental role in the goals of the project in terms of bias mitigation for a more inclusive tech landscape. Our company mission integrates with these objectives because it places itself at the intersection between ethics and technology.
Can you tell us a little bit about what you do? How is Artificial Intelligence incorporated into your services?
In one line – we provide high-quality synthetic data. This is artificial data generated by AI on the basis of an original dataset. The result is a new dataset that is statistically similar to the original one, but different enough that it doesn't give away personal information.
Synthetic data is an effective privacy-enhancing solution to access and share sensitive data within and outside organizations in a safe and responsible manner while respecting regulations like GDPR and CCPA. It offers high utility with a low risk of re-identification. Additionally, it can be used to safely test and improve AI models, mitigate bias and automate testing.
We generate synthetic data through our data engine, powered by our proprietary implementation of generative models. For each synthetically generated dataset, we automatically provide reports on data quality and privacy diagnostics.
We packaged our product offering into a flexible Enterprise Solution that can be tailored to client infrastructure and data needs.
In your opinion, which industries would greatly benefit from implementing synthetic data solutions?
We think synthetic data has industry-agnostic applications. It can be used by companies who have established data science teams or those who are beginning to set up their AI infrastructure; they will benefit immensely by using synthetic data. A good chunk of AI projects are often stalled or sometimes fail due to the lack of production-ready data. Synthetic data unlocks such hurdles and accelerates AI adoption. Gartner projects that 60% of the data used for the development of AI and analytics projects will be synthetically generated by 2024.
In particular, we see fertile ground for synthetic data uptake in the banking, finance, insurance, retail, mobility, and healthcare industries. For instance, we are currently serving a major bank that requested our synthetic data generation solution for data augmentation and data processing in accordance with privacy regulations.
Have the recent global events encouraged you to integrate any new vital features?
We've always had a focus on responsible AI innovation that not only brings about prosperity but also respects citizen rights and applicable laws. Notwithstanding the current events, we have been doubling down on our efforts on advancing our privacy metrics and bias mitigation modules. The related features offer insights on the risk of re-identification of personal data and options to correct imbalances in data sets to ensure better performance while safeguarding ethical and privacy risks. We will also release open source modules on data profiling and bias mitigation in the autumn of 2022.
Since AI is a relatively new technology, people still tend to have some misconceptions and myths regarding it. Which ones do you notice most often?
One of the key pervasive myths is that AI is some kind of turnkey solution that will magically transform entire business processes and outcomes. What is often missed is the fact that there is a lot of ground in terms of specialized infrastructure, highly skilled professionals, stakeholder buy-in with the right expectations, and a collaborative framework for iterative testing and development.
We are committed to dispelling these myths and spreading awareness about the topics concerning AI, for example publishing periodical interviews with experts to exchange ideas and engage in enriching discussions.
What are some of the worst mistakes companies make when handling large amounts of data?
To be fair, handling large amounts of data has been a thing for the past decade or so, therefore it's natural that there are no right answers or established standards and manuals to follow. While we don't expect perfection from the beginning because data and AI technologies are fast evolving, there are several aspects companies should be aware of to avoid making big mistakes. Starting from setting up robust and optimized data pipelines, and mechanisms to ensure data quality, and availability, and have overarching monitoring mechanisms not only for compliance but also for easy debugging of project results stemming from the said data.
Having said that, if I have to indicate one overarching issue, it's the misdirected focus on data quantity rather than quality – big is always not better. Inaccurate, incomplete, or poor quality data, however large, will not deliver successful AI or analytics problems. Moreover, they can be very expensive to collect and maintain. It's also computationally inefficient adding extra costs and creating a negative environmental impact.
What predictions do you have for the future of AI technology?
I think in the near and medium future Generative AI will play a major role in the advancement of AI technology. Not to mention the shift towards no code and low code AI which will further reduce the barriers of entry into the AI space. There will be an increased focus on smaller but higher-quality datasets. Privacy-preserving AI techniques like Federated Learning will continue to make strikes with increased efficiency. However, with advanced AI models, the computational resources required to train and run these models may create a computational divide. There is a high risk that within a few years only big companies will be able to afford training generative models unless we work on making models more efficient or computational resources more affordable.
In this age of ever-evolving technology, what do you think are the key security practices both businesses and individuals should adopt?
First and foremost both companies and individuals should have a minimum awareness and understanding of the type of security risks they may face. It's naturally impossible to detect and mitigate every possible security risk, but there are many best practices to follow using a risk-based approach.
Security measures in companies are often not standalone, they have to be a combination of technical, organizational, policy, and people measures. The 5 safes framework of the UK data services is a great framework to start with. What that entails differs across companies, but for us it's:
Safe data: data and models are treated to protect any confidentiality concerns.
Safe projects: Projects are set up in safe environments with access controls.
Safe people: personnel is trained and authorized to use data and model assets safely.
Safe settings: a Secure development environment both on-premises and on the cloud to prevent unauthorized use with state-of-the-art security configurations.
Safe outputs: screened and approved outputs that are non-disclosive.
Companies should have good data management and governance practices to have an accurate and reliable status of their safe practices.
Would you like to share what's next for Clearbox AI?
Our goal is to make synthetic data mainstream to accelerate digital transformation and innovation in companies. We have a market-ready product that can be securely installed whether on-premises or in the private cloud of companies to safely generate high-quality synthetic data for a large range of uses. We already have our first large clients using our solutions, so commercially we would like to step up and establish ourselves as market leaders in our niche. Technically, we would like to focus on using synthetic data to make AI models more interpretable, unbiased, and fair. We would also like to explore hybrid approaches to generate synthetic data, for example by using generative models together with agent-based simulations.

Objective: Identify general tips to prevent and treat tick bites.
Review the information below on ticks, tick bites, and symptoms.
Ask workers to identify areas where they have found ticks.
Have workers take the True/False test to check their learning.
Working in landscaping, forestry, or brush clearing can be risky because of exposure to ticks. The most frequently encountered ticks are the American dog tick and the ground hog tick. They can be found on various mammals, including ground hogs, raccoons, dogs, and humans. Deer tick and western black-legged ticks are much smaller than common dog and cattle ticks.
When ticks feed on animals, they can acquire diseases including Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and others (www.cdc.gov/lyme/). Then, ticks can pass the disease on to humans. Often, emergency help should be sought right away. Workers who are bitten should identify the tick to help doctors diagnose the trouble.
The three classic symptoms are fever, rash, and history of tick bite.
Stay out of brushy, overgrown grass, and wooded habitats, especially in spring and early summer.
Remove leaves, tall grass, and brush from work areas. This will reduce tick, deer, and rodent habitat.
Apply tick-toxic chemicals to work areas to help control the tick population.
Wear light-colored clothing so ticks may be more easily seen and removed before attaching.
Wear long-sleeve shirts. Tuck pant legs into socks or boots.
Wear high boots or enclosed shoes that cover the entire foot.
Spray insect repellent on exposed skin, excluding the face.
Shower and wash and dry clothes at a high temperature after outdoor exposure.
Check your whole body for ticks, especially armpits, groin, and pubic areas.
If a tick is found, remove it with tweezers and clean the area with an antiseptic.
Use tweezers to pull the tick straight away from the skin.
Grasp the tick by the head with the tweezers.
Do not twist or jerk ticks, as mouth parts may be left in the skin.
Do not use a hot match or cigarette to remove a tick. This may cause the tick to burst.
Avoid touching ticks with bare hands.
After removing a tick, carefully disinfect the bite site. Wash hands with soap and water.
Whenever bitten, try to identify the tick to help doctors diagnose the trouble.
Lyme disease can cause a bull's-eye rash that is more than two inches in diameter.

Q: How to disable previously disabled selects after form submit I have a form with multiple selects.
Some of them are disabled because I don't want the user to modify the values.
But as it's a form and needs validation, I have to ensure that the <select> form field is submitted when it is disabled.
I have found a partial solution to this problem, which is as follows:
jQuery(function ($) {
  $('form').bind('submit', function () {
    $(this).find(':input').prop('disabled', false);
  });
});

The problem is that after form submission, I would like the selects that were originally disabled to be disabled again.
The selects are generated dynamically and not all of them are disabled, so I don't know the number of selects beforehand (it is variable).
Is there any possibility to disable the previously disabled selects again?

A: You can add a data-disabled property on all of them. Set it true on the disabled ones and false on the enabled ones.
During validation you can check for data-disabled and if its true you can enable the selects.
Similarly you can do the vice versa.
Example:

jQuery(function($) {
  $('form').bind('submit', function() {
    $(this).find(':input').prop('disabled', false);
    // Do stuff
    console.log('I did stuff')
    $('form').find(':input').each(function(i) {
      if ($(this).attr('data-disabled') == 'true') {
        $(this).prop('disabled', true)
      }
    })
    return false;
  });
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
  <input data-disabled='true' disabled='true'>
  <input data-disabled='false'>
  <input data-disabled='false'>
  <input data-disabled='true' disabled='true'>
  <input type='submit' value='Submit'>
</form>


5 Ways to Keep Your Indoor Cats Entertained! When the hooman is away the kitty can play! Have a peek at these 5 simple ways to keep your indoor cat entertained.... With their swift speed and reclusive nature, catching a wild lizard is a challenging, but rewarding task. Wild lizards should always be housed alone due to the possibility of containing internal parasites or illnesses that could be transmitted to other reptile pets.
Native reptiles are protected by law so if you want to keep a native reptile as a pet you�ll need a biodiversity conservation licence granted under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 from the Office of Environment and Heritage (National Parks and Wildlife Service).... Before buying a reptile from a pet store, expo, or breeder, be sure to check out the lists of herp societies and reptile rescue groups for information on reptiles that may be available for adoption and to meet and talk to keepers of species you may be interested in getting.
As far as reptiles go, owning a pet lizard can be a very worthwhile and unique experience, but there are many things to consider before taking one home. �Lizards can be rewarding to keep but they always require more care than snakes, and attention to detail is important,� said Leo Spinner... Lizards feed on a wide variety of foods including fruits and vegetation, insects, small mammals, birds, and amphibians, carrion and even (in the cases of large predator lizards) large prey such as deer and other big animals.
Look after your reptile right in winter � ensure they keep warm for maximum comfort! Reptiles are different to other pets in the way that they regulate their body temperature.

What are these (6667)?? Chat servers? There isn't chat hosted at my site, so is this something I should worry about? Should I try to block these visits?
As you correctly identified, port 6667 is usually used by IRC. Unfortunately, it is also a port commonly used in Denial of Service attacks. I assume that this is something that warrants DreamHost's attention, so I recommend contacting support.
I imagine it's just something scanning for open proxies. What does the full line look like?
Does it say "CONNECT" anywhere?
In any event, I would just ignore it.
I use a simple script to see stats, so all I know is that these requests have been coming in all day, alternating between http://69.31.78.137:6667/ and just 69.31.78.137:6667. My stats script always shows the requests coming from IP addy 69.31.78.130. Hope all that's OK to put here. I tried using htaccess to block these hits earlier, and that didn't work. So tried changing htaccess, and none of these hits for the past 45 minutes at least. Keeping fingers and toes crossed. Oh yah- no referrer, OS or program register for these. I did send a message to support, and hopefully didn't waste their time.
Look for that IP in the actual log file.
69.31.78.130 - - [05/Oct/2004:08:20:35 -0700] "POST http://69.31.78.137:6667/ HTTP/1.0" 200 15704 "-" "-"
Since my last post here there haven't been any more of these hits (knock on wood).
This is likely someone scanning for open proxies.
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think blocking the IP in .htaccess will work if they're already requesting something that doesn't exist.
Unless that domain is hosted on a unique IP and you (or someone) is connecting to that IRC server from that IP, I don't think there's a legitimate reason they'd be doing a proxy check on it.
irc.badass.us? OK, I'm not the brightest bulb when it comes to this stuff, but I don't own badass.us, and although my domain (chellsroost.com) does have an ip, that's not it. So I am just not understanding this. Also, I don't connect to chat. Tried out jabber once, quit even using that quite a while ago.
In a nutshell, the ip "69.31.78.137" isn't mine, the domain "badass.us" isn't mine, and I don't chat or host chat. So I still don't understand why my domain would be scanned like that. The only consolation is that there still hasn't been another of these hits.
Aaaaand… I meant to say "thank you" for your help and patience. You're always doing everything possible to help out on this board, and it's much appreciated.
It's normal for IRC servers to check whether the client IP connecting is an open proxy. This is because people often connect to IRC servers via open proxies to obscure their actual email address (much as spammers often exploit open proxies to send spam).
I'm not going to get into a long discussion of what an open proxy is, and why it's bad, but basically, HTTP proxies which haven't been properly secured can allow people to access resources without exposing their client address. In many cases, these proxies allow people to access resources other than just websites - often they allow someone to open an arbitrary TCP connection, such as to an IRC server or a mail server, "through" the proxy. Google for "open proxy" for some more information.
So my guess is that that IRC server is seeing a connection from that IP (your site's IP) for some reason (maybe a spoofed connection), and is doing a test to make sure that your IP isn't an open proxy. Port 80 is one of the common ports that open proxies can live on, so that's why you're seeing the request in your HTTP access log. The bot is checking to see if it can connect to 66.33.223.211 (your site's IP) and open a connection back to itself; if it can, it knows it's found an open proxy, and it will not allow a client connecting from that IP to connect to the IRC server.
Ultimately, you should usually ignore attempts like this, and not spend too much time worrying about it.
Hope that explains things a little more… does that make sense to you?
Will, thank you sooo much for explaining, and for the ultra fast support. Yes, now I totally understand (ding ding! light went on). OK, I'm going to undo the changes of today to my htaccess and just not have a cow over this.

Book Expo America, Day 2 Highlights: Sex Book Edition
Rebecca Joines Schinsky 06-07-12
The list of books I heard about today that tickled my fancy takes up, I kid you not, 10 pages in my little Penguin Books pocket notebook. In the interest of narrowing it down by something more fun than genre or publisher, I've selected the ones that hit a personal sweet spot: sex!
Vagina: A New Biography by Naomi Wolf (Ecco, September 2012)
Ladies and gentlemen, 2012 is the year of books about ladyparts. You heard it here first. Florence Williams kicked things off with her fun and crazy-informative Breasts, and now we get this one, from an author whose earlier work changed my life.
When an unexpected medical crisis sends Naomi Wolf on a deeply personal journey to tease out the intersections between sex and creativity, she discovers, much to her own shock, an increasing body of evidence that suggests that the vagina is not merely flesh, but is an intrinsic component of the female brain and thus female consciousness itself. A brilliant and nuanced synthesis of physiology, history, and culture, Vagina: A New Biography explores the physical, political, and spiritual implications for women and for society as a whole of this startling scientific breakthrough.
Sex and God at Yale: Porn, Political Correctness, and a Good Education Gone Bad by Nathan Harden (Thomas Dunne Books, September 2012)
So, Yale University has this Sex Week thing once a year (which, if you ask me, sounds interesting and awesome), and other schools have picked up on it. Wikipedia tells me the week "explores love, sex, intimacy and relationships by focusing on how sexuality is manifested in America, helping students to reconcile these issues in their own lives." And the author of this book? He doesn't like it! So he wrote a book about it.
In order to glimpse America's future, one needs to look no further than its college campuses. Of those institutions, none holds more clout than Yale University. Yet the school has become a full-fledged moral battleground where:
A porn star gives a topless S&M demonstration in a classroom
A student had received approval for an art project she said included tissue from repeated self-induced miscarriages
The infamous Sex Week is held every two years
Loathe for years to host ROTC, Yale nonetheless once employed a professor who praised the Hamas terrorist organization
In this reboot of William F. Buckley's classic God and Man at Yale, 2009 Yale graduate Harden offers a provocative account of what really goes on inside "The Cradle of Presidents," one that will shock any parent of a college-bound student. Sex and God at Yale is a must for anyone concerned by what really goes on at one of America's elite universities.
Sex Changes: A Memoir of Marriage, Gender, and Moving On by Christine Benvenuto (St. Martin's Press, November 2012)
Ringing two of my literary bells at once, this memoir is part-"losing my religion" and part study of sex and gender. An Orthodox Jewish woman's husband reveals one night that he is going to become a man. Tell me you're not captivated already!
Christine Benvenuto had been married for more than twenty years—with three young children—when her husband turned to her one night in bed and said "I'm thinking constantly about my gender." He was unhappy in his body and wanted to become a woman.
Part memoir, part voyeur's look into a marriage, Sex Changes is a journey through the end of a marriage and out the other side. We see a woman, desperate to save her family and shelter her children, discover a well of strength and resilience she never knew she had. We learn what to tell the neighbors when your husband starts wearing heels with his shirts and ties. We see a woman open herself to a group of friends who travel with her through her darkest times, provide light and levity throughout—and who offer the opportunity to learn how to give as well as receive the love and support of true friendship. When she lost her husband to skirts and hormones, life made Chris a better woman.
Sex and the Citadel: Intimate Life in a Changing Arab World by Shereen El Feki (Pantheon, 2013)
I can't resist a look at the sociology of sexuality, and this discussion of sexual politics in the Arab world promises to be fascinating.
Since the political unrest that swept across the Middle East in 2011, all eyes have been on the streets and squares erupting in protest. But for the past four years, Shereen El Feki has been looking at upheaval a little closer to home-in the sexual lives of men and women across the Arab world. The result is an informative, insightful, and engaging account of a highly sensitive and still largely secret aspect of Arab society.
Sex might seem a strange lens through which to examine change, but it is a prism that refracts the region's complex social spectrum, from religion and culture to politics and economics. Sexual attitudes and behaviors not only are a reflection of the conditions that led to the recent uprisings but will also be a measure of hard-won reforms in the years to come.

Home Training Run Training Does Cycling Make You A Faster Runner?
Janos Schmidt / World Triathlon
Running speed requires high-intensity training – here's how cycling hard can make you a faster runner and help you stay injury-free.
When it comes to improving running performance, it's a fine balance between maximising workload to increase speed and steering clear of injuries. High-intensity intervals are often the first choice for increasing foot speed – but could we be better off doing those workouts on the bike trainer rather than the running track?
We look at two pure runners turned pro triathletes, Beth Potter and Tamara Jewett, who both show that running can improve when adding in cycling – and check out what the science says about cycling for running.
Beth Potter
Having represented Great Britain in the 10km at the Rio Olympics, Beth Potter moved over to triathlon in 2017. Completely committing to life as a pro triathlete, she dropped her running down to around four sessions a week so that she can focus on improving her swimming and cycling.
In April 2021, she raced the Podium 5km event in England and despite the drop in her run mileage, Potter ran a new world best time of 14:41 – a mark set just one week after winning the Super League Triathlon Arena Games in London.
A post shared by B E T H • P O T T E R (@bethpotter91)
While the lack of certain officials at the event meant it wasn't ratified as an official world record, it was still amazingly fast, whichever you look at it. It's also a great example of how lower run volume can mean faster running when combined with high-intensity cycling.
Tamara Jewett
Canada's Tamara Jewett, a national class runner, is one of the triathlon's big up-and-coming Ironman 70.3 stars. She actually got into triathlon due to a series of stress fractures from running as a way of cross-training and reducing running mileage.
"Now, I'm running less, three to four days a week and getting my other training through swimming and biking," Jewett told Triathlon Magazine Canada in 2018. That resulted in an injury-free season: "I feel the volume in training for the half triathlon distance is much better on my body than the intensity on the track," she said.
A post shared by Tamara Jewett (@tamarajewett)
Jewett went on to run a 10km PB of 33:33 in 2019 and since then, she has been running seriously fast at Ironman 70.3 events. The Canadian's 1:13:08 at the 2021 Ironman 70.3 Augusta was the fastest women's 70.3 run split ever. That's more evidence that less running and more cycling not only equates to foot speed but also reduces injury risk.
Cycling For Running – What Does The Science Say?
A 2015 study in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research points to the benefits pf high-intensity cycling for running performance. Kavaliauskas et al looked at 32 runners who did at least 25 miles per week.
After a 3km baseline treadmill test, the runners were split into a control group and three other groups that would take on a two-week cycling HIIT training plan – in addition to their regular running. Over the two weeks, the HIIT group completed six sessions on a spin bike including 10-second intervals at maximal effort. At the end, they did another 3km treadmill running test and the cyclists showed the most improvements – by an average of 25 seconds per 3km in one group.
Meanwhile, a 2014 study by Etxebarria et al in the European Journal of Sports Science looked at whether long or short intervals on the bike were most beneficial for running.
After baseline bike and run tests, 14 trained triathletes completed two speed sessions per week for three weeks – with either short (10 to 40 secs at near-max) or long efforts(5mins at 80%).
After the three weeks, all athletes' aerobic cycle power had increased by around 7% while sprint power went up by over 10%. But it was only those who'd done the longer intervals that significantly increased their 5km run times – by an amazing 1:04 on average!
So, if you add the science to the wealth of anecdotal evidence that runners who cycle become better runners, adding HIIT bike training could provide a significant boost to your run times.
Not only that but doing hard intervals on the bike, rather than while out running, is a great way to avoid the overuse injuries that are all too common when running at high intensities. So if you seem to pick up niggles from running, swapping in some HIIT bike training could be the answer to improve both your cycling and running performance.

Chris Hayes, host of msnbc's new 8pm weeknight program, weighed in on assault weapons ban being dropped from the baseline gun control bill this week on Capitol Hill in an interview with Alex Witt Sunday.
Hayes said it's a classic example of preference versus intensity.
Talking about his move from his weekend panel show "Up" to weeknights, Hayes said it would be hard to part with the weekends.
Hayes said the weekend schedule gave him lots of time to spend with his infant child.

Great job guys on Chirps! This software makes the Baofeng radio series the value it wouldn't be without Chirps.
For commercial/public service use the PTT ID (ANI) is used and is rather important especially when used on linked networks where there is a certain amount of latency from the time one keys the radio to the time all the link transmitters are up to link the network repeaters together. The amount of delay from the time a user keys the transmitter to the time the ANI sequence is sent is critical and is controlled by menu #20 within the radio. This setting is the key to having the ANI work properly. This setting "PTT-LT" as seen on the radio menu (#20) isn't available in the Chips software and must be altered from the radio only. Is it possible to add this to UV-82 configuration so it could be altered from Chirps? Looking at the existing tabs and pages in Chirps for the UV-82 it appears like this feature would be a feature that should appear under the "Properties" of each channel under the "other" tab as this is where the PTT ID toggle feature is located already.
A second look at the existing screens in Chirps it looks like it might make more sense to be placed in the DTMF section (because this is a global setting, not channel specific) rather then the channel specific "other" tab.
I honestly don't know how this setting got overlooked. It has been available in the Baofeng UV-5R for over 3 years. A patch has been submitted that adds menu 20 (PTT-LT) to the UV-5R (and therefor all radios that are derived from that code -- including the UV-82). It will be in the DTMF Settings menu and it is called "PTT ID Delay".

Thanks

I tried to click through the calendar via the while loop until March is visible and then grab the number of days for the particular month and select my day of preference, which is 26 in this example.

A: The problem is the wait time in a while loop Nik.
while (!driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='flatpickr-month']")).getText()
    .contains("March")) {
  driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='flatpickr-next-month']")).click();
  Thread.sleep(2000);
}

Ideally, we don't use Thread.sleep in the java program, instead of that you can use any type of waits present in Selenium utility.
I tried in my local and the program is working fine now.

Masks significantly reduce infection risk, likely preventing thousands of COVID-19 cases -study
Published: Jun 13,202010:52 AM by Reuters
Mask-wearing is even more important for preventing the virus' spread and the sometimes deadly COVID-19 illness it causes than social distancing and stay-at-home orders, researchers said.
Requiring the wearing of masks to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus in areas at the epicenter of the global pandemic may have prevented tens of thousands of infections, a new study suggests.
Mask-wearing is even more important for preventing the virus' spread and the sometimes deadly COVID-19 illness it causes than social distancing and stay-at-home orders, researchers said, in the study published in PNAS: The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA.
Infection trends shifted dramatically when mask-wearing rules were implemented on April 6 in northern Italy and April 17 in New York City - at the time among the hardest hit areas of the world by the health crisis - the study found.
"This protective measure alone significantly reduced the number of infections, that is, by over 78,000 in Italy from April 6 to May 9 and over 66,000 in New York City from April 17 to May 9," researchers calculated.
When mask-wearing went into effect in New York, the daily new infection rate fell by about 3% per day, researchers said. In the rest of the country, daily new infections continued to increase.
Direct contact precautions - social distancing, quarantine and isolation, and hand sanitizing - were all in place before mask-wearing rules went into effect in Italy and New York City. But they only help minimize virus transmission by direct contact, while face covering helps prevent airborne transmission, the researchers say.
"The unique function of face covering to block atomization and inhalation of virus-bearing aerosols accounts for the significantly reduced infections," they said. That would indicate "that airborne transmission of COVID-19 represents the dominant route for infection." The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday urged organizers of large gatherings that involve "shouting, chanting or singing to strongly encourage the use of cloth face coverings to lower the risk of spreading the coronavirus."


In a clever twist on the sculptor/murderer theme of horror film history, the legendary Boris Karloff stars as blind artist Franz Badulescu, who creates startlingly lifelike statuses with the help of his vindictive wife, Viveca Lindfors (Creepshow). Jean-Pierre Aumont (Day for Night) co- stars as a jetsetting photographer who photographs the reclusive artist at his Spanish castle, and unearths the horrible secret at the core of Badulecu's haunting sculptures.
Poor Boris appears to be about five minutes away from expiring in this turgid film, and it's likely he was. I've always wanted to see it, so I'm grateful the library splurged on a copy of this dvd. However, it's as far from good as is possible, and is just one more instance of European filmmakers exploiting the Karloff name to sell their cheap, awful product. Karloff appears for perhaps less than 10 minutes, and looks so infirm it's difficult to watch. The rest of the time is spent in pointless scenes of uninteresting characters running around and endless speculation, trying to piece together what's behind the disappearances of locals due to Boris' apparent penchant for living subjects to turn into his macabre "art." On the plus side, Olive films has found a very nice-looking color print, and the production values are not bad. But you can't overlook the overall horribleness of the film itself. Sigh. For Karloff completists only.

A 29-year-old woman with short bowel syndrome and prolonged starvation developed hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis after initiation of hyperalimentation with a casein hydrolysate solution. The acidosis was not due to bicarbonate loss but was associated with diminished ability of the kidney to increase urinary acid excretion, particularly titratable acidity. Supplemental parenteral bicarbonate administration was necessary for two weeks until urinary acid excretion rose to normal.

This is another post derived from a presentation given at the 2011 Annual Summer Meeting of the Wilderness Medical Society. Tracy Cushing, MD, of the University of Colorado School of Medicine gave an excellent presentation on submersion injury—i.e., the dangers of becoming submerged under water. What follows is some of what we learned.
Historically there have been many terms and definitions, such as "drowning," "near-drowning," "dry drowning," and others. Current experts favor the term "submersion injury" as any adverse effect from submersion in water. This commonly causes difficulty breathing, for many reasons. "Immersion syndrome" refers to the situation where there is a lethal heart rhythm during or after a cold-water exposure, usually attributed to stimulation of the vagus nerve, which slows the heart rate. "Shallow water blackout" refers to a person becoming unconscious after hyperventilating prior to attempting a lengthy period of breath-holding underwater.

Led by Scott McIntosh, MD and his colleagues, the Wilderness Medical Society has published "Practice Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Frostbite" (Wild Environ Med 2011:22;156-166). These guidelines are intended to provide clinicians about best evidence-based practices, and were derived from the deliberations of an expert panel, of which I was a member. The guidelines present the main prophylactic and therapeutic modalities for frostbite and provide recommendations for their roles in patient management. The guidelines also provide suggested approaches to prevention and management of each disorder that incorporate the recommendations.

This is a sweet Amish story with a mystery to be solved. I thought it was sad that Holly felt like she had to sacrifice marriage and a family in order to have a fulfilling career that would be so beneficial to the members of her Amish community. I liked Joshua and how he helps Holly, even after he discovers he has no hope with her. The element of light suspense kept the plot moving forward and I liked seeing how interconnected the Amish families are and how they were all happy to help. There is a definite warm feeling despite the snowy setting, and I was satisfied with how everything all worked out.

Ltte: Civil discourse must be civil
Tori Hamilton
A few weeks ago we, as the Feminist Collective at CWRU, decided to clarify a common misconception on our campus that equates the struggles of marginalized groups to the social conflicts of being a conservative at Case Western Reserve University. Matthew Thompson wrote a letter in response, making defamatory claims that completely distorted the purpose of our letter and painted us as an oppressive force on our campus. This misrepresentation of our purpose is precisely the type of dialogue our initial letter discouraged and exemplifies our reasons for removing ourselves from toxic conversations. He misinterpreted our points, claiming we intend to silence all conservatives. However, neither his speech nor the speech of any conservative has never been hindered by us. He belittled and demeaned us as an organization, going as far as to quote the Constitution to a group of well-educated students.
First, we'd argue that freedom of speech is not unlimited. For example, a business cannot make things up about their product because it sounds good—that's fraud. A person cannot speak out against military injustices in Iraq by releasing videos of soldiers—that's treason, for which you can be sentenced to death. You can't threaten to beat someone up—that is assault. Does language that actively threatens the existence or well being of individuals not fall under categories of assault? Why is some threatening language unacceptable, but the use of slurs and white supremacist language is just fine? Censoring free speech can be dangerous, seen in the past with the implementation of McCarthyism, and today with the imposition of the Global Gag Rule. However, there are dangers that come along with unchecked free speech. For example, hate speech and slurs threaten the safety of students of varying identities on our campus. It's not just an attack on people, it encourages others to act on their beliefs physically, and in voting for policy; therefore, free speech should not be idealized as the end all be all. It is more complex and poses threats.
Additionally, beyond self-identification, one does not get to pick who is a conservative and cannot disown Donald Trump. He is in office today because the Republican National Committee and Republican party have paved the way for him, and because of larger failures of the Democratic party to effectively fight for working class individuals. But we must recognize the connections between the "moderate" conservatives and Trump: The former also pass legislation and say things that are just as dehumanizing and deadly. After all, it is beloved "moderate" John Kasich who has signed 17 out of the 18 abortion restrictions that have landed on his desk, who approved plans to defund Planned Parenthood, allowed comprehensive LGBT protection to lapse, and once said, "I will give you one bit of advice. Don't go to parties where there's a lot of alcohol," to women looking to prevent sexual violence. Thanks to Kasich, we now have nine instead of 16 abortion clinics, and LGBT Ohioans can "get married on Sunday and fired on Monday."
To return to the original point we made in our previous letter, to set aside politics from personal relationships is a privilege that most people do not have because policies directly affect lives. We described diversity as something that is beyond one's choice, demonstrating that definitions must be applied in the context of the situation. It is true that experiences with a variety of people can be enriching, but drawing comparisons between your major and your skin color is unfair and ignores the context and complexity of the situation. This is why a watered down definition of diversity that is inclusive of any and every difference is rather meaningless. In order to deal with conflicts on our campus and in our country, we need a specific definition to adequately address the deep-rooted problems.
Finally, we ask that any members of the CWRU community that are thinking about responding in a fury to take a minute to consider why they are so angered. Is it actually that we are challenging this uncritical fetishization of free speech? Or is it because we are brave enough to call out heteropatriarchal white supremacy when we see it? We refuse to play nice to people that clearly have not listened to what we were saying and will continue to not listen. We firmly believe every person has a responsibility to be respectful of the humanity of others—and when that doesn't happen, we will act however we see fit.

The California barn owl known as Molly to her large webcam audience delivered a distinctly unsentimental nature lesson to her Easter weekend viewers: She killed a screaming, struggling rabbit in a grisly episode on Saturday night.
The symbolism of the moment was not lost on her audience, which dwindled from more than 14,000 to less than 5,000 as the Easter bunny met his bloody demise. Regular viewers are used to seeing McGee, Molly's mate, bring dead rodents every night to Molly and her four hatchlings in their nest box. They are not used to seeing him bring a still-living rabbit for Molly to finish off as the victim emits blood-curdling, human-sounding wails of agony.
Yes, the cuteness factor is going to be increasingly challenged as Molly and her four voracious owlets continue their family saga. Perhaps McGee is helping to train the kids to kill their own food by bringing still-living rodents; the other night he brought a live mouse.
In any case, it seems clear that many of Molly's viewers are learning that nature, while often beautiful and inspirational, can just as often be brutish and shocking. It will be interesting to see whether the banner ads that have recently appeared on the site will stick around if dinnertime at the owl house is always preceded by a macabre struggle to the death.
In other owl news, the remaining unhatched egg in the nest has been pronounced a dud by the webcam proprietor, Carlos. So apparently the hatching is done—and now the real, uh, fun begins.

Dairy Farm Is Catalyst for Transformation
Claudia Elzinga
In rural Mbale, Uganda, a few miles down the road from Pentecostal Theological College (PTC), a humble 20-acre plot of land is home to 13 happy cows and a dedicated group of workers.
Since 2008, Christian Reformed World Missions (CRWM) and PTC have been striving to build well-rounded leaders by integrating community development into the seminary's theological training. Their joint initiative is called "Farming in Faith."
"We want to develop pastors [who] . . . are called not only to address the spiritual concerns, but also the social concerns in their communities," says Patrick Ouke, PTC's president.
Pastors in Uganda make little—if any—money from their pastoral roles and often double as crop farmers, taxi drivers, animal breeders, shop owners, and more. For the African pastor, life and ministry are one and the same.
PTC's dairy farm has given pastors new skills for providing for their families. Now PTC is launching a new Community Transformation Department to help students apply their theological education to all aspects of life.
The Ebenezer Dairy Farm is at the center of the department. Students will learn about business ethics, stewardship of resources, innovative and sustainable farming, health and sanitation, and care for God's creatures. They will also help with daily farm maintenance and production.
"Our beginning had many challenges," said Mwaya Wa Kitavi, CRWM's East Africa regional leader, at the farm's dedication ceremony in November. "We asked, where would the resources come from? Who will lead the project? But we were faithful."
Over the years, Africansand North Americans together laid the farm's foundation, dug water lines, and prepared the farm for hands-on training. PTC students also contributed to make the dream a reality.
"As a student body, we are so proud of this project," said Moses Kigumba, a PTC student. "It is our prayer that this farm will grow and benefit the entire community."
Five years later the farm is complete and CRWM is ready to hand the project over to the PTC team and officially open the department to students.
"The training is going to give new pastors abilities to improve their economic status," says Rev. Franco Onaga, general secretary of Pentecostal Assemblies of God (PAG) Uganda.
"If the pastors can improve their economic status, that can be passed on to the congregation. And if the congregation can improve their economic status, that will improve the income of the church, enabling the church to meet the mission God has called it to do."
Students will move all across Uganda after graduation. Inspired by the farm's evolution and success and PTC's well-rounded education, students will find innovative ways to build up their communities wherever they end up.
Already the farm is serving as a model for people living nearby. Attendees at the farm dedication were overheard saying, "I need a farm like this!" and "I never thought of that before!"
"This is just the start of the Community Transformation Department; it will be much larger than what you see here," says Patrick Ouke, looking out at the farm. "We want to be a center where new things can be implemented to better society."
