The eternal optimists: How Texas' ranchers, farmers cope during an exceptional drought
A lengthy drought, combined with soaring inflation rates, is like watching money burn.

SOUTH TEXAS — The soil crumbled beneath Russell Boening's boots as he walked onto his harvested field of sorghum in Floresville, a small town southeast of San Antonio.
A gentle breeze brought momentary relief as the early August sun beat down atop his cream-colored straw hat. Boening kicked at the earth, sending up a small cloud of dust. This year's harvest was disappointing.
"It's powder dry," he said. "We did make some hay off of what was left here, but we didn't make any grain. We tried to make what we could."
More than 70% of Texas is experiencing severe drought conditions during one of the most sweltering summers that the state's farmers and ranchers can remember. Floresville is experiencing exceptional drought conditions, the highest and driest tier classified by the U.S. Drought Monitor.
For hundreds of years, farmers and ranchers in Texas battled weather extremes that threatened their livelihoods. In the epic drought of the 1950s, the state received up to 50% less rain than usual. This year, farmers and ranchers reported similar, if not worse, rainfall measurements.
Victoria, which normally receives 40 inches of rain a year, reported about 12 as of early August, one cotton farmer said. A rancher in Pleasanton reported 7¾ inches of rain in the past 12 months, as opposed to the normal 26 to 28 inches.
Boening, who also serves as president of the Texas Farm Bureau, said Floresville has received about 2½ to 3 inches of rain since Nov. 1. By August, there is usually about 18 or 20 inches of measurable rain, he said.
"I've been doing this for 41-plus years," Boening said. "It's never been this dry in our area in my lifetime."
Not only is it dry throughout the state, but costs to run an agricultural business continue to rise to unsustainable levels. A lengthy drought for an agricultural business, combined with soaring inflation rates, is like watching money burn. And this season has been extraordinarily fiery.
Texas agriculture and inflation
Steve Bauer is a rancher in Kerrville who owns a store that supplies equipment to local farmers and ranchers. In the last year, Bauer said costs due to inflation have hit his small business, forcing inputs — or cost of operating items — for farmers and ranchers to go up as well.
A bale of hay at Double L Ranch & Wildlife Feed is about $160, up from $90 last year. A bag of cattle feed last year was about $350 to $400, but now it's up to $600, Bauer said.
In the 2017 Census of Agriculture, taken every five years, expenditures for farmers and ranchers nationwide were nearly $326.4 billion. But things have changed since the COVID-19 pandemic and the drought.
Expenditures for farmers and ranchers across the country rose to $392.9 billion in 2021, up from $366.2 billion in 2020. Feed, farm services, livestock and poultry-related expenses, labor and rent accounted for about half of farmers' expenses.
Texas was ranked No. 3 nationally with an expenditure of $26 billion in 2021, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The average expenditure per farm in Texas last year was $105,445.
As a producer, Bauer said his inputs have gone way up this year — like every other rancher's — and managing livestock has gotten expensive. A drought added on top of inflation makes it difficult to keep cattle fed and hydrated.
"My wife and I have reduced our herd by 30% already," Bauer said. "I've been fortunate and have got enough that I can kind of spread them out and hopefully maintain my herd and be able to come out the other side of this when it does start raining again."
Culling is when ranchers choose to sell or part with livestock because of certain genetic traits. Some are sold to other ranchers for breeding or for slaughter.
It happens every year at livestock auctions throughout the state, but this year ranchers showed up to auctions in droves to sell livestock that they couldn't maintain because of high inputs. Lines to get their livestock in stretched for miles.

Ranchers of Texas
Most farmers and ranchers in Texas have been working to feed the U.S. for generations. Some families have been here since before Texas was considered a state, like rancher Sam Snyder's in Moran, a city east of Abilene.
In January, the Snyder family will celebrate 140 years of ranching cattle on the border of Central and West Texas. The climate and environment are perfect for ranching cattle when the rain is decent, he said, but droughts aren't totally uncommon. Snyder, a 69-year-old who's been ranching most of his life, said he's been through five major droughts.
"We have wet times, we have dry times; we have cool and we have hot times," he said. "Anybody that's been doing this all their life, this isn't anything new."
Due to its size, the state could be experiencing drought at any given time, according to John Nielsen-Gammon, Texas State Climatologist and regents professor at Texas A&M University. He assists with weekly updates for the U.S. Drought Monitor on behalf of the state of Texas.
One of the most recent droughts on record started at the end of 2010 and stretched through 2015. Nielsen-Gammon said the drought had a severe period in 2011, considered one of the driest years in Texas history, and resulted in billions of dollars lost in Texas agriculture.
Early this month, Texas hit a high for the year with 68% of the state experiencing extreme drought conditions. But that percentage was not as high as in 2011, which saw more than 90% of extreme drought, Nielsen-Gammon said.
Although drought isn't unusual, this year has been extremely hot and windy, which Snyder said added more obstacles to an already challenging season.
"Our water supplies have gone down faster than any time I can remember, and I've been through a lot of droughts," Snyder said. "What gets our water is evaporation. With the heat and a lot of wind, and the ground is so hot that when you get rain, it kind of evaporates."
In Moran, giant tanks are used to catch and store runoff water for cities. Since there hasn't been much rainfall, many of the tanks are running dry. Snyder said Moran hasn't had any measurable rain since last September.
Lack of water means fields that could be used for grazing are bone dry, and they've been barren for months. In times like this, some ranchers have adapted to the heat by using other resources, like Pete Pawelek, a rancher in Pleasanton, who often burns prickly pear cactuses as feed for his cattle.

Pawelek sets bushes ablaze and burns off the thorns to allow his cattle to eat the fleshy fruits and pads. Burning prickly pear was a common practice ranchers used in the ′50s when grazing wasn't a viable option or when hay was too expensive, as it is today.
"You have to feed protein with it and minerals with it and other stuff, but it's like feeding a real cheap form of hay," he said. "It's really cost effective."
Burning prickly pear isn't an option for others. Brenda and Charlie Seidensticker have been ranching livestock for nearly five decades in Comfort, a Hill Country community between Fredericksburg and San Antonio. Their home was built by Charlie's grandfather in 1885 near a bend in the Guadalupe River.
The Seidenstickers farm about 200 acres to feed their livestock, but this year their yields came up short due to a severe lack of rain. Feed and hay were getting expensive, and water was in short supply.
As a result, the couple sold all of their cattle for the very first time. Even during the 2011 drought, they cut their cattle numbers in half by culling them and built them back up over time.
"We've cut back some years but we've never had to sell out," Charlie said. "It was hard. Very hard."
The Seidenstickers maintain goats and sheep on their pastures and tend to them every morning. Like other ranchers and farmers, the couple is concerned about the lack of rain; Comfort has received about 4.8 inches of rainfall this year, they said, as opposed to the usual 32 to 35 inches.
The intense heat has taken a toll on not only them but the environment. Near their bend of the Guadalupe River, the water has dried up in some parts or almost completely stopped flowing.
When their grandchildren came to visit in years past, the Seidenstickers would take them to the river and wade in the water. Sometimes it was deep enough for a canoe or a kayak to pass through, Brenda said.
But where there should have been about 6 inches of water now lies white-hot bedrock. As Brenda walked along the dried-up river bed, she pointed upstream toward a tree with a rope from which her grandchildren would swing. Underneath the rope were exposed and dried roots of cypress trees.
Charlie drives around on the land in the mornings to check on the goats, which on hot, sunny days are typically gathered in the shade. His pickup truck leaves a trail of dust as it drives down the bank of the river, and hot air blows through the open windows.
About a mile downstream are natural springs that have stopped running. The river, although not completely dry, hardly flows.
Brenda said she's never seen it this low. Charlie said the last time he remembers it this bad was when he was a child in the 1950s.
"In 2011, it got pretty far down, and I think in 1964 it was pretty low again, but I don't think it quit running," Charlie said. "This year, she's on the verge of not running anymore."
Nielsen-Gammon said rain is in the forecast for parts of the state in the next few weeks, but that doesn't mean the drought is over. The U.S. Drought Monitor's three-month outlook for Texas through November shows the state could be facing drier than normal conditions.
But things could easily change.
"Just because the odds are tilted in one direction doesn't mean that something like that is definitely going to happen," he said. "But there is a good chance that the rain we get won't be enough to end the drought, and it may persist for at least the next couple of seasons."

Yields coming up short
Boening said he knew in January that this year would be tough. After a dry November and December, the rain looked like it was going to be scarce through the summer.
"It was shaping up to be a tough year," he said. "Now, we had no idea it was gonna be this tough."
To adapt and prepare for what he predicted would be a difficult harvest, Boening said he switched some of his acres to sorghum, which is more drought tolerant than corn or cotton.
In one field of dryland sorghum, the stalk had grown to about knee high when it was harvested, Boening said. With adequate rainfall, the grains would have been chest high.
With the leftover stalks of sorghum, Boening baled them up into rounds of hay for his livestock. The hay isn't high quality, but it'll be a filler to keep his cattle going, he said.
In terms of water, Boening said he's had to drill wells, which he hasn't had to do in several years. For a while, some of Boening's crops were irrigated using water from the San Antonio River, but the water levels got so low that he hasn't been able to irrigate in more than two months.
"Without water, it's tough," he said. "You can't grow anything."

Brian Adamek, a corn and cotton farmer in Victoria, knows the feeling all too well. Adamek farms about 2,000 acres near the coast. This year, his yields have been up to 50% less than what he typically harvests.
There were pockets of rain throughout the season, but sometimes it was no more than an inch, and it was certainly not enough to amount to anything, he said. What affected his crops the most was the early and persistent heat, Adamek said.
Summer temperatures crept into Victoria around late April to early May, Adamek said, which meant the bottoms of Adamek's cotton plants were fine, but the tops of the plants were shriveled. The early heat can also cause issues with how corn grows.
"When you get the heat when the corn is trying to pollinate, that's not a good thing," he said. "It will cause the ears not to form correctly."
Adamek said farmers are wondering about a potential pattern with the drought next year and having to pay the same or higher input costs to grow crops. Right now, Adamek said he pays about 40% to 50% more for fertilizer, chemicals and seed.
If the drought persists through the next harvest, farmers could start to worry, he said.
"If we have a drought with lower yields … then we're in a bad position because we don't make enough money to recover the cost that it takes to put the crop in the ground," he said. "That's the scary part of it."

'Water is our livelihood'
Bauer remembers when he had to sell essentially all of his cattle in 2011. The drought took him out of production, and he was left with the feed store, maintaining some sheep and hay production. It wasn't until a few years later that he got back into cattle production.
"I've got that taste in my mouth of what it's like to have nothing and feel like you've lost what you've always wanted to do," Bauer said. "So we're fighting a little bit harder."
Ranchers are pulling resources where they can, but with more expensive inputs, Bauer said outputs could result in higher prices at the grocery store for consumers.
One way to help break that cycle is rain. Rain would make the crops grow. Rain would keep the livestock hydrated. Rain would keep the farmers and ranchers going, Bauer said.

"Water is our livelihood," Bauer said. "Whether you're a cow, calf, producer, farmer, wildlife. We got to grow the forage, we got to grow the plants on the ground — they can't grow without the water."
Bauer has been ranching his entire life, and even through some of the toughest droughts, he said he wouldn't trade his profession for anything else.
In a meeting with the Texas Farm Bureau, Bauer said someone asked if any of the farmers and ranchers in the room had gambled. They all looked at each other, not a single one raised their hands, he said.
Then, they admitted that yes, they were all gamblers — optimistic ones, Bauer said.
They are gamblers who place seeds into the ground with the hope that a crop will grow. They are gamblers who breed cows and hope that a calf can be sold months later.
"Yeah, we're gambling, but we're proud of it," Bauer said. "Because the ultimate thing is we get to feed the world."

PHILADELPHIA (FOX 29) - Health department officials say at least 38 cases of mumps have been confirmed at Temple University.
The Department of Public Health for Philadelphia said the effectiveness of the mumps vaccination tends to wane over time so it's not necessarily a case of unvaccinated people.
here is no cure for mumps. Symptoms include feeling tired, fever and swollen salivary glands on the side of the face.

Slice the onions into quarters and put them in an ovenproof dish with the butter. Strip the thyme leaves from the stem and sprinkle over the onions with salt and pepper. Then add the red wine.
Cook over hot coals for about 45 minutes until tender. Add the parmesan cheese and cook for another 15 minutes. (You can also bake the onions in an oven at 180 °C in an open dish). Serve with your braai meat and a warm French loaf.


And for the convenience, a two sided spoon that has one big scoop for the creme and one small scoop for the activator. Ratio of the spoon should be 1:1, i.e., with 1 big spoon of creme, mix 1 small spoon of powder activator.
Fem Claims: The new Fem Gold Crème Bleach comes with real, pure Gold in it, which gives you the real golden glow that makes you stand out against the fakes. Not only does it come with a beautiful fragrance but also special moisturizing ingredients which give you a soft creamy experience of bleaching. Fem Gold Crème Bleach works wonders just in 15 minutes and leaves the skin radiant & glowing. The real gold particles added to the powder activator leave behind a soft golden shimmer and shine on the skin.
What is new in Fem: No added Ammonia so no irritation, no redness and no skin damage.
Convenience: The Leaflet inside the box of bleach has listed all the dos and don'ts about the product which I have mentioned above and all the other necessary information one needs to know before application. They have provided a two sided spoon and an applicator spoon or spatula to apply over face. It has mentioned the Directions to use in 8 Indian Languages (Desi feel na).
Application and Related Queries: The directions have been mentioned in the leaflet and yea make sure you follow them or it may damage your skin.
Don't wash your face with soap or any face wash after the use, and no makeup is to be applied for at least 6 hours after the use as this may react over your face.
You can remove it with wet cotton/cloth/sponge from your face, make sure you don't rub it over your face or be harsh.
ITCHING during application is very normal as it indicates that product is working on your skin but if continuous irritation persists wipe it off.
What is the Use of bleach? And why should you apply it?
The Crème has thick consistency and has no smell whereas Activator has tiny granules which have some smell and yes both of them have faint yellow colour as the bleach is Golden Glow. What I didn't like was if the crème during application stains your shirt or tee it leaves behind a weird smell which is not at all good (yuck).
The application is easy and the is hassle free and it has mentioned there is no added ammonia in it which is actually good as ammonia is considered harmful for skin but in the ingredients list there is some ammonium persulphate (sorry no idea about this as I am Commerce Graduate not science one).
As they claimed that it won't cause redness, I am using this product since 4 years and still I have some red patches after application which is quite normal. So this claim failed.
As it has mentioned this Golden Glow Bleach is for special occasions and gives a golden glow, I didn't find much difference in the result of the this one and Fem Saffron one for Fair skin. It doesn't even matter to me because after application as it is you can't go out or apply makeup.
Is it for you: Yes this one would be suitable for all skin tones, Olive skin tone girls should add less activator to suit their skin.
P.S- My friend bought a bigger box of this and it has pre-bleach cream tube whereas medium and small ones don't, so next time I am buying the bigger box (the bigger the better).
Have you used Fem Fairness Naturals Gold Creme Bleach? Share your reviews with us.
I don't use bleach that much, just for some very important occasions..This seem just like and ok ok product to me.
Fem Bleach makes my skin really dry unlike other bleaches like oxy..
You may be adding lot of activator powder then!
If it does then after washing your face with water apply a moisturiser.
Don't be..they have an all the do's and don'ts list in the box now.
Well after seeing this review I would like to apply it as I have little dark patches on my cheeks. So, will try out and tell my view.
If we use fem bleach to our hair, then what will happen to our hair? turns white or not?
Can I suggest fem to use for men?
my skin get more dark then before….
hello…i applied fem faiirness cream…little cream touched my hair so my hair became golden colour…is it go away or is it permanent…?

Amsterdam to Restitute Kandinsky Painting to Heirs After Years-Long Dispute

Wassily Kandinsky,Painting with Houses, 1909. Stedelijk Museum
Amsterdam officials announced on Friday that the city will return a painting by Wassily Kandinsky to the heirs of its original Jewish owner. The decision ends years-long legal dispute over the painting, which has been in the Stedelijk Museum's collection since 1940.
The canvas, titled Painting with Houses (1909), will be transferred from the city-owned Stedelijk Museum to the family of Irma Klein and Robert Lewenstein. The couple owned the painting before the Nazi regime took over the Netherlands during World War II in 1940. It was auctioned at a price below its market value five months after the Nazi's invasion, though it is unclear whether Klein or Lewenstein orchestrated the sale.

"This is a historic injustice that is being put right," said Simon van der Sluijs, an attorney representing Klein's heirs, in a statement on Friday. Attorneys for the heirs have claimed in the past that the painting was sold under duress.
In 2018, a Dutch court ruled that, while the painting was not confiscated before its public sale in 1940, the museum purchased it in good faith, without knowledge of its prewar history. It cited a policy around the, "balance of interests," a measure used to weigh the value of the artwork to the museum versus that of the heirs.
Last year, a court in Amsterdam upheld the 2018 ruling by the Dutch restitution committee that the Kandinsky, which Amsterdam bought in 1940 during the public sale for a sum for what today would be $1,600, could remain at the Stedelijk. The painting is now estimated to be worth $22 million, according to the Times of Israel.
The decision drew public criticism, and led to a review by a panel established by the Dutch minister of culture that is known as the Kohnstamm Committee. The committee recommended Dutch officials in charge of restitution efforts change their policies in favor of victims persecuted during World War II. Two members of the Restitutions Commission resigned in response.
Amsterdam's municipality said in its statement it now has a "moral obligation" to return the painting. "The city stands for a fair and clear restitution policy, returning as much looted art as possible to the rightful owners or the heirs of the owners," the statement said.
James Palmer, the director of Mondex Corporation, a firm that handles art restitution research told the Associated Press that the decision "clearly disposes with the flawed approach of the balance of interest test, which effectively placed the rights of the museum to display stolen property ahead of the rights of the property owners."

A purist approach to wine in the Temecula Valley.
The Temecula wine country don't get no respect. It's a matter of upturned noses and heated conversation that Temecula's wine country is a tourist trap, a sort of marketing circus that appeals to desperate housewives, Orange County 20-something surfers named Brad and Kristen, and San Diego college students looking to get their drunk on. And there's some truth to that. But as with all things wine, nothing is so cut and dry, and the fastest growing wine region in the world is producing something other than cheap, sweet plonk for the inexperienced palate. Indeed, there are even a few great wines here, so I wish to speak a word for Temecula.
Let the word be truth. Truth often hides, as we know, though the diamonds in the rough here aren't in any actual rough. Temecula is verdant with green rolling hills, sloped and terraced vineyards, and scads of horse properties and ranches. There's even an opportunity to rent a mount and ride a trail leading to several wineries. Even if you drank nothing, you'd be hard pressed to find such beautiful landscape where you can sit and watch people in various states of inebriation try to ride a horse. That's entertainment. Escondido lies about 30 miles southwest, San Diego about 60; Palm Springs is less than an hour away and so is Orange County. The result is easy access with a large and thirsty population close by.
One of the diamonds is Robert Renzoni Vineyards, a gem of a winery on De Portola Road down the street from the giant Leonesse Winery, which Renzoni himself helped start, among others. "On a Saturday, I'll get more than 500 visitors at times. Some of the larger places will serve more than 2000 people in one day," said Renzoni. "I give it a couple of years before you won't be able to come taste in Temecula without a reservation. It'll be too crowded." He's right, too. Those are numbers you won't find, say, on the Central Coast, in Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo counties.
Renzoni, however, saw past the lure of beautiful land and inexpensive, sweet alcohol. "Temecula was a cheap way to get into the wine business. Retired accountants and lawyers moved out here and put kerosene in a bottle," he said. "But when some of us came here and saw the potential of this region and the varietals that we could grow here, we knew it was real. There are only 35 wineries here, so if five of them are selling almond-flavored champagne, that's one-seventh. That seems a lot," he said. But Renzoni said Rhone varietals like Syrah and Mourvedre, and Spanish and Italian varietals like Sangiovese, Brunello, and Tempranillo, are producing great fruit here and good wines.
He is, too. Renzoni's wines are lower alcohol, in the European style, and he's not really a newcomer. "My family has 126 years in the wine business. We named the winery on a suggestion from Robert Mondavi to my grandfather, Dominick. He told him it sounded like Mondavi, and that it reminded him of the pasta name Ronzoni," he said.
Indeed, if one considers that as recently as the mid-1970s, the French considered California wine to be altogether plonk—until 1976 when Chateau Montelena's Chardonnay won the Paris Wine Tasting, an event documented rather well in the film #Bottle Shock#—it's not unlikely that Temecula will one day impress even the most serious of wine snobs.
The Renzoni clan hails from Buffalo, New York, and branched out west to find more great food and wine. Renzoni himself sold wines for Young's Market, among others, and the business is in his blood. His family bought grapes, crushed and fermented them here, and shipped them east on glass line tanker cars. Food and wine are the life of Renzoni's family. One of the gems inside his gem of a winery is Mama Rosa's marinara sauce. Try it simply warmed over pasta, or as a dip for bread or vegetables. You won't find better.
But it's his wines that shine. He poured me through from Pinot Grigio, estate-grown and platinum-colored, gloriously light, fruit-forward and delicate on the palate, to his Barbera, an Italian varietal known for its food-friendly acid and light fruit. Renzoni's hit the mark, too. Delicate but firm mouth-feel with long lasting fruit. "I wanted to be the Italian winery in Temecula—and we've done that," he said.
About five miles northeast of the dirt road turnoff for Renzoni's winery is an old-timer by Temecula standards. Joe Hart was teaching junior high school social studies in Carlsbad when he got bitten by the wine bug. "I looked at the North Coast for land and a winery, but it was too far, and both my wife and I would have to quit our teaching jobs to go there," he said. Hart's wife, Nancy, is now retired from teaching kindergarten. "We bought land in Temecula in 1973 and, on our 10-acre parcel, planted eight-and-a-half acres of grapes," he said. The couple's eldest son, Jim, now runs the winery, though Joe is there every day and actively involved with operations.
Hart's wines don't have the depth or complexity of Renzoni's, but they are not immature. The Zinfandel and Syrah are exceptional, with long finishes and serious balance between acid and fruit.
Both wineries are destinations for true wine lovers. Sure, you'll find them catering to consumers, offering a few products, mostly blends, that appeal to immature palates. But make no mistake—Renzoni and Hart are also making serious wine in a place that wants to be taken seriously. Perhaps it's time to start.

I took a windows 8 severr beta class at Diablo Valley College last semester, and dislike the new interface on Windows 8 for a home PC. I feel it's better designed for a touch pad screen, which I do not have or want. Microsoft should just let you switch back to the Windows 7 / XP look and feel and keep that setting permanent. Keep the tablet Operating System as a Tablet OS, that's what Apple does with the Ipad.

A domain name. I registered mine with SchlundTech in Germany.
An IP address. Well, I am hosting my site from my home, so a dynamic IP does the job. You have it with your Internet access.
A network router. Mine is from TP-Link but any other router should work just as good.
A service that keeps track of your dynamic IP and updates the Internet for you. The NoIp service worked for me.
Some bits and pieces of hardware. Synology's NAS solutions are amazingly easy to use and they do the job. Two DS216+II was all I needed.
A dynamic IP combined with a few bits and pieces is all there is to get your DIY hosting done just like the pros do.
The Synology DSM operating system has all and everything you need packed into one very neat box, the DS216+II with each 2GB of disk storage installed and running in a basic RAID configuration. Does it start to confuse you now? Well it does not have to. It's rather easy to get all the information you need from Mr. Google. To be honest, I had to ask "him" a few questions too.
Well yes, what you are reading here is brought to you right from my home. No big data center or external hosting service. Synology includes the amazing WordPress CMS system with its DSM software package. You'll basically have your initial site up and running in less then 1 hour. Well, at that point all is still a bit messy and not really organized. Prepare yourself for a long weekend to polish your home data center. After your home DS216+II settings are where they should be, just find yourself a nice neat template for WordPress – mine is from ThemePalace – , tweak it here and there a bit and voila – you're online.
And just in case you do need help, there's always someone out there who might just be willing to guide you on your way to mastering in becoming your own Webmaster. If all fails, drop me a note here and who knows, I might just have an answer for you.
Check this little humble set-up. They both work just great!
These two DS216+II was all I needed to get the DIY home hosting up and running. Check them out at Synology's site.

Open Space: Nicole Arbour needs to learn the difference between satire and stupidity
March 6, 2019 by Jessica Ho, contributing writer
You might recognize Nicole Arbour's name from the viral 2015 YouTube video "Dear Fat People," or one of her countless other filmed rants, such as "Dear Black People," "Dear Feminists," "Dear Sluts," "Dear Refugees," or myriad other distasteful videos created by the Canadian comic and YouTube star.
Just when we thought that she couldn't go any further, the former cheerleader and self-proclaimed "motivational creative powerhouse" has got the public fuming again with her parody of "This Is America."
This story originally appeared in our March 6, 2016 issue.
If you're not familiar with the original, "This Is America" was released in May 2018 by Black rapper Childish Gambino. Gambino's lyrics are jam-packed with symbolism and, coupled with the song's critically acclaimed music video, have earned Gambino 13 awards, including a Grammy Award for Song of the Year.
Arbour's classless adaptation, "This Is America: Women's Edit," is disjointed at best. In the opening scene of the parody, Arbour puts on lipstick in place of Gambino lighting a cigarette. Arbour replaces the scene of a man with a bag over his head being shot with a breastfeeding woman being taken out of the room. Incoherency is peppered throughout the song with muddled lyrics such as "This is America/got rape in my area," "I wear Fendi/I'm so sexy," and "I gotta give up my dreams/… rather be the Taliban."
Apparently, Arbour thought it was a great idea to translate the immensely layered song and music video to an incoherent parody that profits off of Gambino's concept and art. Instead of a thoughtful portrait of issues such as gun violence, police brutality, mass shootings, and America's deep-rooted discrimination toward Black people, Arbour's video equates these pressing tragedies to the "challenges" which face white, cisgender, able-bodied, thin, and, ultimately, extremely privileged women living in America.
Some have pointed out that while the execution of the video may be easily misconstrued, Arbour's objective is to bring attention to the sexist issues facing American women. While this goal may seem innocent in nature, it's clear from the moment you press play that Arbour's version of the video and song is nothing more than an attempt to profit the hell off of Gambino's success and appropriate the issues that the original song explores.
This video is hardly an attempt at fighting for equality: instead of dancing with children, as in Gambino's video, Arbour dances with thin, promiscuously dressed women who also mainly just happen to be white. What kind of female empowerment is this supposed to be representing?
Arbour's response to the backlash from the video is unsurprisingly similar to her reaction when she was called out for claiming that "they [fat people] smell like sausages" during the "Dear Fat People" controversy four years ago. She claimed that it's "funny" to her that some people couldn't understand that the video was clearly satire, something that only "smart/spiritual/conscious people" will get.
It's interesting how satire is a literary device taught to us all in grade school, yet college-graduate Arbour can't seem to figure out the difference between being satirical and being just plain short-sighted.
Arbour has apologized for "This Is America: Women's Edit" and claimed that she understood why some people were upset, but said that her intent was always to "honour the spirit" of Gambino's original.
This public apology, however, came after she posted the since-deleted responses to comments in which she complained about "[B]lack women tears everywhere" and that she is "sick of people mad at slavery."
One thing is for certain: this is not Nicole Arbour's first controversy, and until she can learn the difference between satire and stupidity, it will not be her last.

Nightlife Bar Cocktails
@ThirstyInLA
Legendary Los Angeles Cocktails

For the last several years, Los Angeles has been experiencing a renaissance in its craft cocktail bars, making it one of the top cocktail destinations in the country. With even more bars on the way and an influx of talented bartenders, the city is reclaiming its rightful place at the forefront of the national scene. Classic cocktails continue to win new generations of fans, while innovative drinks push the creative envelope and set a new standard. The myriad of Los Angeles cocktail options can be dizzying, but ultimately only a select few can be called "legendary."
Old Fashioned - Seven Grand

The 2007 opening of the Downtown L.A. whiskey den Seven Grand is regarded as a seminal moment in the thriving modern Los Angeles cocktail scene. Members of Seven Grand's opening team, including Aidan Demarest, Marcos Tello and Damian Windsor, have gone on to become some of the most influential barmen in the country. As current Seven Grand bartender Dustin Newsome says, the Old Fashioned is "the cornerstone" of the Seven Grand cocktail program. Its preparation is a ritual akin to a tea ceremony, from the soaking of a sugar cube with Angostura Bitters to the two dozen stirs of the barspoon and the twists of lemon and orange peels. Sipping this primal cocktail in the hunting lodge environs of Seven Grand is a quintessential Los Angeles cocktail experience.
Martini - Musso & Frank Grill

Cocktails don't get more classic than the Martini, and the best one in town is made by Manny Aguirre at Musso & Frank Grill in Hollywood. Open since 1919, Musso & Frank has been a favored watering hole for generations of celebrities, from Charlie Chaplin to Johnny Depp. Some of the 20th century's greatest writers were Musso's regulars, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner and Raymond Chandler. To fellow bartenders and cocktail aficionados, Aguirre is just as iconic a figure in his own right. His sublime Martini is made with 2.5 ounces of gin and a half ounce of vermouth, stirred with ice and strained into a cocktail glass. It's served with an olive garnish and a small carafe with the remaining cocktail on the side, a classy touch that is rarely seen these days. Some guests prefer to order a Gibson (a la Cary Grant in North by Northwest), the same cocktail but garnished with an onion. Whether it's an olive, a lemon twist or an onion, be sure to sip slowly and drink in the history of the room, embodied by the living legend behind the bar.
Ray's Mistake - Tiki-Ti

The legendary Tiki-Ti was opened in Los Feliz in 1961 by Ray Buhen, a native of the Philippines who was a bartender at dozens of top bars during the height of the Mid-Century Polynesian craze. The Tiki-Ti's signature cocktail is known as Ray's Mistake, made with "Super Secret Flavor, Botanic Liqueurs, Passion Fruit and Floated with Dark Corub Rum." Ray's Mistake was the result of a happy accident that occurred in 1968, when Buhen used the wrong syrups in an Anting Anting ("amulet" or "talisman" in Tagalog) he made for a customer, who took one sip and said the cocktail was fine as it was. There's no happy hour at Tiki-Ti, but on Wednesdays Ray's Mistake is just $6 until 9pm, when Mike Buhen Sr. rings a bell and leads a toast to his father Ray, who passed away in 1999.
IRISH COFFEE - TOM BERGIN'S

Located at its present site on Fairfax Avenue since 1948, Tom Bergin's is the oldest Irish establishment in Los Angeles, founded in 1936 by a former lawyer turned publican. The tavern's famed Horseshoe Bar has welcomed everyone from Tommy Lasorda to Ronald Reagan, and was reportedly the inspiration for the classic TV sitcom Cheers. The famed Irish Coffee is made with fresh coffee, Bushmills Irish Whiskey, demerara sugar and cream. The shamrock-shaped sign out front has said "House of Irish Coffee" since the 1950s, and one comforting sip of the Tom Bergin's Irish Coffee is indeed like coming home.
Moscow Mule - Tam O' Shanter Inn

Vodka is the top-selling spirit in the U.S. today, but once upon a time this wasn't always the case. In the 1940s, vodka was considered an "exotic" import and was much less familiar to the public. To increase sales, a drink was created in a "buck" or "mule" style, which includes ginger beer or ginger ale, citrus juice and a base spirit. Made with vodka, ginger beer, lime juice and served over ice in a copper mug, the Moscow Mule became a runaway success with the Hollywood crowd at the Cock 'N Bull pub on the Sunset Strip. The bright and refreshing Moscow Mule would help to jumpstart vodka sales in this country, a legacy that continues to this day. Los Angeles Times restaurant critic Jonathan Gold has long maintained that the definitive Moscow Mule is served at the Tam O' Shanter Inn, and even though it's served in a pewter mug rather than the traditional copper, who are we to argue with a Pulitzer Prize winner?
Barbacoa | Photo by Ryan Tanaka, courtesy of Rivera
Some of the best cocktails in Los Angeles are being created in top restaurants such as Faith & Flower and Bestia. When it comes to culinary-driven cocktails, there's no one better at creating them than Julian Cox, who runs the bar programs at Brilliantshine, Playa, Sotto, Short Order and others. Cox first collaborated with chef John Sedlar at Rivera, which opened in Downtown L.A. in 2009 and closed at the end of 2014. Three of Cox's signature drinks have become bona fide modern classics, including the Blood Sugar Sex Magic (rye, basil, lemon, red pepper) and the Donaji (mezcal, citrus, agave, chapulin salt). But first among equals is the Barbacoa, made with mezcal, chipotle, jalapeno and ginger syrup. Each sip offers different notes of sweet, tart, savory and spice. The smoky beef jerky garnish elevates the Barbacoa to a hands-on cocktail experience.
Historic Core Cocktail

Following on his acclaimed Abbot Kinney restaurant The Tasting Kitchen, chef Casey Lane opened The Parish in Downtown L.A. in July 2012. Lane's take on the English gastropub was an instant hit, though it couldn't sustain its initial popularity and closed in October 2013. The stellar bar program was helmed by John Coltharp, who worked with Lane at The Tasting Kitchen. One of the highlights of Coltharp's cocktail menu was the Historic Core Cocktail, a modern classic that traveled with Coltharp since he first created it in 2009 while he was a bartender at Seven Grand. The Historic Core was a winning entry in Marcos Tello's "Downtown Los Angeles Sub-District Cocktail Competition," which featured cocktails named for the 17 sub-districts in Downtown L.A. Coltharp's creation is made with rye whiskey, applejack, Green Chartreuse, sweet vermouth and Angostura Bitters. It's a superb, aromatic variation on the Manhattan, and a spirit-forward cocktail that Los Angeles can proudly call its own. Coltharp recently began working with Tello and Aidan Demarest in their consulting group, so here's hoping the Historic Core appears on a cocktail menu soon.

The Anatomy of Criticism: A Trialogue
Автор(и) : Henry Hazlitt
Издател : Ludwig von Mises Institute
Място на издаване : Auburn, Alabama, USA
Език : английски
"S O M E H OW I feel that I ought to apologize for having cast the present volume in dialogue. I do not know precisely why one should feel obliged to offer excuses for employing a form that goes back at least to Plato, that has been used by Hobbes, Hume, Berkeley, Voltaire, Diderot, Schopenhauer, De Quincey, Landor, and, in our own day, by Lowes Dickinson and Santayana. But the fact remains that a large number of readers have a tendency to shy off from a modern dialogue as they would from a modern tragedy in blank verse. Such an aversion is not without grounds. Most dialogue presents at least two obstacles to the reader, one superficial, the other more deep-seated. The superficial obstacle is the curious survival of the convention of endowing the speakers with Greek names—names which, for most present-day readers, are either annoyingly anachronistic, too long, too perilous to pronounce, too hard to keep in mind, or completely without meaning. Certainly it would not add to the popularity of the modern drama if the same convention had been retained there also. The deeper obstacle THE ANATOMY OF CRITICISM is the practice, in most dialogues, of confronting a too sapient speaker, obviously the author's mouthpiece, with a straw-man who is always raising the wrong objections and stating them in the feeblest or most vulnerable manner, while the author's mouthpiece keeps triumphantly knocking this dummy down until the latter can say nothing but "quite right" to propositions which are, in fact, quite dubious."
Henry Stuart Hazlitt (November 28, 1894 – July 9, 1993) was a libertarian philosopher, an economist, and a journalist for various publications including The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, and Newsweek. He was the founding vice-president of the Foundation for Economic Education and an early editor of The Freeman magazine, an important libertarian publication. In 1946 Hazlitt wrote Economics in One Lesson, his seminal text on free market economics, which Ayn Rand referred to as doing a "...magnificent job of theoretical exposition." Hazlitt is credited with bringing his ideas and those of the so-called Austrian School to the American economics scene and his work has influenced the likes of economist Ludwig von Mises, novelist and essayist Ayn Rand, and 2008 Libertarian Party Presidential nominee and congressman, Ron Paul.
Hazlitt was a prolific writer, authoring 25 works in his lifetime.
Ludwig von Mises said at a dinner honoring Hazlitt: "In this age of the great struggle in favor of freedom and the social system in which men can live as free men, you are our leader. You have indefatigably fought against the step-by-step advance of the powers anxious to destroy everything that human civilization has created over a long period of centuries... You are the economic conscience of our country and of our nation."

We have a growing database of native-speaking language teachers. There are currently over 600 teachers registered with us. For example, you can find available English Tutors, Spanish Tutors, French Tutors, German Tutors, Italian Tutors, Russian Tutors, Japanese Tutors, Korean Tutors, Mandarin Tutors, Taiwanese Tutors and even other language tutors. If you are looking for a teacher of any language, from English to Japanese, myu.com.tw is the answer.
myu.com.tw is 100% dual-language. Many other sites insist that you read mountains of English to find a good teacher. At myu.com.tw, no matter how good your English is, you can still look at the entire site in Chinese at anytime.
It is free to view any amount of teacher profiles. If you decide that you want to contact a teacher then you should purchase points. You can buy points here.
Viewing the contact information of one teacher requires 1 point.
To purchase points if you're already registered, login and click "Buy points" on the left side of the screen under your username. In this part of the screen you can also see how many points you have left in your account.

In case of an unexpected situation, for example failure of your e-mail account and a system crash that closes the window, please contact us and describe the situation, and we should be able to help you.
After you obtain a teacher's contact information, you should immediately contact the teacher. Don't wait too long because the teacher may find other students. Once you contact the teacher you should discuss the specific requirements for the class. When you and the teacher reach an agreement on the class, then you can set an appointment for the first meeting. Although myu.com.tw strives to provide profiles that accurately reflect the teacher, it might be wise to wait until you meet the teacher in person before making a commitment (see our tips on selecting a good teacher). Remember to agree on the exact price of the class, especially if the teacher has indicated a range of prices. Also, you can ask if the teacher will offer a free introductory class or meeting.
Please note that you and the teacher you've contacted may not be able to agree on a class. This is your relationship, and myu.com.tw cannot become involved in negotiations or other situations. Please see our terms and conditions. Besides, if this happens, don't worry, you can still use your other points to contact other teachers.
The location of the class is also open to agreement between you and the teacher. Some teachers may be willing to come to your home or office. Others will prefer their home or a coffee shop, and some may even have their own classroom!
This is between you and the teacher. You should discuss the teacher's hourly rate and also if the teacher wants to be paid in advance of the lessons. Most teachers are very flexible, so make sure to tell them what's convenient for you.
First, you should tell them you found them on myu.com.tw. If you are writing them an e-mail message, perhaps put myu.com.tw in the subject of the message so they won't mistake your message for something else and will make sure to open it right away.
If you are calling the teacher on the phone and reach their voice mail, leave a message that you found them on myu.com.tw along with your name and your telephone number so they can call you back.
For more information on what to say when you call a teacher for the first time, see our guide to contacting English teachers.
If you decide to have your class in a coffee shop, make sure to discuss in advance who is going to pay the bill. Sometimes teachers and students will each pay their own way, and sometimes one person may expect the other to pay. Just agree ahead of time so it's clear.
We quality-check all teachers who post profiles on myu.com.tw. This includes verifying their contact information. However, if you try to contact the teacher by e-mail and/or telephone and you cannot reach the teacher, please wait a few hours and try again. If after 48 hours you still cannot contact the teacher, contact us and we will try to solve this problem. If the teacher or myu.com.tw is at fault, we will provide you with the proper contact information or restore the point you used to obtain the contact information.
Absolutely! Click on Free Registration for Teachers to get started.
When you register with myu.com.tw as a student you will be asked a few short questions. Answering these is optional. If you choose to answer these questions, please know that we don't use your information for anything other than helping you find a teacher.

Insurance is based on a numbers game of statistics and data that the policy underwriters consider when assigning rate classifications. Cars that tend to get into more accidents, or need more expensive or extensive repairs than other cars, will have a higher claim rate and thus a higher premium to insure these higher risk cars. By using this information backwards you can find the lowest end of the scale. There are some cars that are so cheap to insure that they are practically free.
Some obvious deductive logic can help you identify the high-risk car category relatively easily. Sports cars, big engines, expensive repairs like luxury cars or some imports are all likely to have high insurance rates.
A 2002 Honda Civic or Mazda will have a higher rating than a 2002 Hyundai Accent. Besides the fact that the Accent is more modest and slower than the other cars, the occurrence of accidents with Accents is likely to be substantially lower than the occurrence of crashes with a Honda. This is specifically due to the sports economy car subculture movement that makes it fashionable to take certain cars and heavily modify them and in many cases drive them recklessly. The difference in these insurance rates can easily amount to more than $100 per month that you can save.
Insurance companies tend to consider 2-door cars to be higher risk, as are new cars that are more expensive to repair than older cars. Looking for a four-door car will almost certainly save you money on insurance premiums, no matter what you buy. Try to choose a car that can be associated with good drivers or perhaps a car that has an especially low accident repair.
A good example of this would be larger trucks. One might think that a bigger truck has a big engine, so it will be expensive to insure. This may be true for some trucks, especially sport trucks, but another factor is at work in the equation.
Since a large truck that collides with a Honda Civic might not even require a paint job, but the smaller car will be massively damaged even from a small collision, some trucks and vans can be incredibly cheap on insurance. It is important to note that the larger cars require substantially more fuel than an economy car, so this must also be considered.
Doing online insurance quotes will make it easy to find which cars are the lowest cost. Then it's just a matter of locating, inspecting and purchasing that make, model and year of vehicle.

'This, That, here, There, Yes, No, Maybe' - BUS Projects
Within the active field of each painting, box like zones are articulated. Line work such as bordering and edging carve into what was once an open field, implying territories- "This" is "Here" and "That" is "There", yet the specificity, the (figurative) 'content' of "This" and "That" are constantly deferred. This connects the work to a kind of abstraction also occurring within thought and language. We use words such as "This" and "There" in much the same way as we use 'boxes' and 'zones' – as placeholders that can be both vague and certain - an unstable domain. Whilst the paintings are definitive via delegation of zone and area, there is also a looming non-specificity that is key to the reading of the works. Fibrillating between most definitive marks (the order) and the vague or non-specific (content), the surface of the works hold interesting links that might add to our understanding of abstraction, cognition and sensation (forms of abstract thought).
As we place one element next to the other, as we re-arrange or delegate what goes where, we are physically re-configuring a language of simple objects and symbols. This, That, There, Here, Yes, No, Maybe, is a reductive pallet of thoughts that may be made visible, arranged and rearranged via much the same process as would be applied to an abstract puzzle or game.
Seeking forms of clarity or a conclusion to the game process, 'a logical end point' denies the potent agency and life of the 'non-specific', the vague, the blurred, the traces of past mark making and the serial, non specific orders that reveal decision making processes, intuitive and systematic thought processes, moves, additions and subtractions within the work.
"One can say that the concept of a game is a concept with blurred edges… Is it even always an advantage to replace a picture that is not sharp by one that is? Isn't one that isn't sharp often just what we need?" (Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations)

The issue of Israel is one of the major points of division in evangelical theology today. This is true both among Arminians and Calvinists. An evangelical theologian's view of Israel will determine whether he is a Covenant Theologian or a Dispensationalist. It will also determine what kind of Covenant Theologian he is: postmillennial, amillennial, or premillennial. The question of Israel is central for a proper systematic theology. Paul, in his epistle to the Romans, which contains the first systematic theology in Church history, expounds on Israel in the center of his epistle, devoting three full chapters (9–11) out of sixteen to this topic. Yet, while there are many Systematic Theologies today which have systematized areas of biblical truth, none thus far have developed an Israelology as part of their system.
The primary purpose of this course is to identify and systematize the doctrine of Israel through four Protestant conservative/evangelical systematic theologies. This purpose includes identifying and defining the four systems of theology and the systematic theology upon which they are based; showing where Israelology fits into the framework of a total systematic theology; and, determining how a theological system may lead to anti-Semitism, pro-Semitism, or indifference to the issue. The secondary purpose of this course is to develop and systematize a theology of Israel consistent within the framework of dispensationalism.
Upon successful completion you should be able to:
Understand and summarize a doctrine of Israel through the systems of Systematic Theology
Understand how one's view of Israel determines whether they are a Covenant Theologian or a Dispensationalist
Discuss how a theological system may lead to anti-Semitism, pro-Semitism, or indifference to the issue
Develop and systematize a theology of Israel consistent within the framework of Dispensationalism

Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum (1943– ) is one of the foremost authorities on the nation of Israel. He is a messianic believer and founder and director of Ariel Ministries, an organization dedicated to evangelism and discipleship of Jewish people.
Fruchtenbaum was born in Siberia and just four years later his family escaped to Germany after Fruchtenbaum's father was released from a communist prison in Siberia. While living in Germany, Arnold received Orthodox training from his father. The Fruchtenbaums immigrated to New York, and five years later, at age 13, Arnold came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah.
Before earning his doctorate from New York University, Fruchtenbaum also studied at Dallas Theological Seminary, Jewish Theological Seminary, and Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Fruchtenbaum worked as a missionary with American Board of Missions to Jews (known today as Chosen People Ministries) where he also served as editor of their monthly publication, The Chosen People.
Titles from Fruchtenbaum include How Jewish Is Christianity?: 2 Views on the Messianic Movement, Ariel's Bible Commentary: The Book of Genesis, and titles in the Ariel Ministries Messianic Collection (11 vols.).


There is a plethora of information available to breastfeeding mothers. This article is primarily focused on mothers who mostly pump– whether by circumstance or by choice.
Some mothers travel regularly or work long schedules away from home. Other mothers are forced to pump for their NICU or medical special needs infants.
Maybe you are doing a mix of pumping and nursing. Finally, some mamas choose to pump because it works best for their family.
My first baby received a mix of formula and breast milk because I was a tired mama with a husband who was always traveling. I knew my baby needed a rested and happy mama, so I made that choice.
My second baby breastfed exclusively and only received a pumped bottle on the rare occasion I worked at my per diem nursing job. My third baby didn't latch for the first eight weeks of her life.
After we finally established a breastfeeding relationship, I worked 24-hour shifts away from her and spent most of my time pumping.
Finally, my fourth baby was born prematurely. I pumped breast milk, and he received it through a nasogastric tube. Only now, around 12 weeks after birth, is he showing interest in latching. My breast pump has been my steady friend.
I tell you this because everyone's breastfeeding journey looks different. There are so much pressure and guilt in being a mother that it can interfere with our ability to relax and enjoy our new babies.
Whatever amount of breast milk your baby did or didn't get, if you are reading this article it's because you are a fabulous mama who is trying to do what's best for your family.
Give yourself grace, you grew a human that you are nourishing with your body!
If you're breast pumping, chances are that you have questions about the process.
There is so much conflicting advice out there about when to pump– this article will tackle breast milk pumping schedules.
Related: Learning how to increase your milk supply or build a freezer stash.
There are a few important items to keep in mind to reach and maintain full milk production after birth.
Consistently pump for 15 to 20 minutes at a time. Based on supply and demand, the more you empty your breasts, the more milk you generate.
Never skip a session. If you don't empty your breasts, you will kill your supply. The more you drain your breasts, the more you will make milk.
Pump within six hours after birth. The sooner you start, the better! If you are unable to immediately pump, place your baby on your chest in the skin to skin contact to increase your breast milk supply.
Use a hospital grade double electric pump to initiate your milk supply. Pump BOTH breasts at the same time because it has been shown to increase your milk production at future feeds.
Understand it's healthy and normal to pump a few drops of colostrum for the first few days. Do not fret– your baby's tiny stomach can only handle a small amount at a time.
Pump 8 to 10 times every day (24 hour period) because this is how often a newborn would feed at the breast. I cannot stress this enough: the more you pump, the more milk you make. Early on, it's okay to pump 10 to 15 minutes for a session. Remember, it is essential to pump more frequently.
Schedule two of your pumping sessions between midnight and 6 am, as prolactin (the milk-making hormone), is highest at that time.
Are you feeling the electric tingle as your breasts fill with milk and your golden drops turn to a few ounces? It's time to revamp your routine.
Add to your pumping time, this time focusing on your milk as it falls. Keep pumping until two minutes after the last drop falls (or until your breasts feel soft).
Focus on pumping AT LEAST 8 times per day, preferably ten pumps. Only allow ONE extended break from pumping during the first two weeks of baby's life that lasts five hours or less.
If pumping on a set program ensures that you pump 8 to 10 times per day than by all means, we will provide a few sample schedules. However, focusing on hitting 8 to 10 pumps per day is more important than adhering to the plan.
These schedules are created to provide some sleep overnight. You will be able to sleep best if you have a partner or support person who can feed and change the baby during this time so you can wake up and go right back to sleep.
*This will give you 4 and a half hours of sleep provided you fall asleep immediately following your midnight pump.
*This will give you 4.5 hours of sleep between 8:30 PM to 1 AM. You will also snag another 2.5 hours from 1:30 AM to 4 AM.
Early on, I remember the frustration of pumping eight times per day while my children needed snacks, cuddles, or attention.
For example, my daughter had her bottle, dolly, bear, favorite books, and a diaper to "change, nurse, and bottle feed" her baby.
Some days she used my spare pumping bra to mimic breast pumping too. When my son was little, he had Eeyore and books. Sometimes Eeyore would get breastfed.
Before sitting down to pump, you should refresh other children's snacks and drink cups. If you're sitting to change the baby's diaper, line up any other diaper age children or encourage toilet time, as well. If I didn't, we would have a potty emergency or a crying hungry child.
Exclusively breastfed babies eat on average 25 ounces per day between one and six months. The range of milk intake is approximately 19 to 30 oz per day. When you've reached 25 to 35 oz per 24 hour period– now you're into maintenance land!
Keep an eye on what your daily "average" is, whether it's 25 or 28 ounces, this is your goal each day. The ultimate plan is to do whatever is needed to continue producing that amount.
Try to squeeze more sleep into your schedule. Tweak your overnight pumping routine to maintain your daily goal, but maximize your sleep. Some moms can pump at 11 pm and not pump again until 6 am. When doing this, you should ensure your milk production stays in your goal range and that your breasts aren't engorged.
Decrease the amount of time that you pump and see if this affects your output. For moms of other kiddos, fifteen minutes of pumping is more than enough time.
Pick a day. (Mine is Mama's Mondays!) On that day each week, add up the milk you've pumped from midnight to midnight. Either create a written milk diary, find an app that tracks breast milk (like Milk Stash or Pump log), or mentally log it. Compare your totals each week to see if your supply is diminishing.
It's okay to drop pumps as baby gets older, as long as you're not losing your supply. You should try to pump longer at each session if you are missing a pump (20 to 30 minutes). These schedules work between one to six months of age.
I was able to maintain my 28 oz supply on six pumps a day when my baby was three months old. Your mileage may vary, but customize this to your body and your baby.
This schedule worked well for me because I could pump before getting children to school, before leaving work, after getting home from work and getting children, and still sleep about 7 hours at night.
I started this after returning to work. Getting that sixth pump every day seemed impossible, but I maintained supply from four to six months with this schedule. I was able to take two breaks at work (around 10 and 4), and then I would pump on lunch- 1 PM.
I recommend pumping at least five times per day until your little one starts solids. Cutting pumps over time will lead to eventual weaning (link to future weaning post).
Just remember to toe the line between maintaining supply and maintain your emotional and mental well-being.
Pumping and storing breast milk can seem like a twisted science experiment. As an educated Nurse-Midwife and mother, I was confused and frustrated by it all.
After my third baby, I learned that you could decrease the number of times you pump per day based on the baby's age.
Losing a session was a lifesaver when I felt overwhelmed with the amount of time I spent chained to my breast flanges.
No matter what feeding looks like with your little one, it's essential to make peace with your journey.
Don't let doubt creep in. Know that you are the best possible mama for your baby and you are making the right choice for your family.


I kept the lighting fairly frontal and flattering with a little soft shadow so mimic the old graphic bull fighting posters. I further made it "vintage" by making it black and white however I kept the contrast "as shot" unlike old photos that tend to be very contrasty. To finalize 'the look', I added an effect that is a plug in, in Photoshop called 'Edge FX Pro'. It adds cracks mostly around the edges to create the illusion of an aging negative.

Soledad Pastorutti (* 12. Oktober 1980 in Arequito, Santa Fe, Argentinien) ist eine bekannte Sängerin argentinischer Folklore, Schauspielerin und TV-Moderatorin. Sie wird auch Soledad, La Sole, El Tifón oder El Huracán de Arequito genannt. Sie gehört zu den Erneuerern der argentinischen Folklore. Ihre Karriere, in der sie inzwischen mehr als zwei Millionen Alben verkauft hat, begann 1996 in Cosquín.

Leben
Soledad Pastorutti ist die Tochter von Griselda Haydee Saccino und Omar Alberto Pastorutti und die Schwester von Natalia Pastorutti (* 1982). Sie wurde in Casilda, der Altstadt von Arequito, geboren. Ihr Vater brachte sie schon in ihrer Kindheit in Kontakt mit der argentinischen Folklore, und sie trat in der Umgebung auf.

1996 nahm sie im Alter von 15 Jahren gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester Natalia Pastorutti am Folklorefestival in Cosquín teil und gewann den Preis für die Neuentdeckung des Jahres. Sie schloss einen Plattenvertrag mit Sony Music, die das erste Album Poncho al viento produzierten. Das Album verkaufte sich in kurzer Zeit mehr als 800.000-fach.

Pastorutti tourte durch Argentinien und trat 1997 in 181 Orten auf. Ihr zweites Album La Sole erschien, und ihre Alben führten die Charts an. Das Jahr beendete Pastorutti damit, das Gran Rex in Buenos Aires zehn Mal ausverkauft zu füllen. Aus den Konzerten entstand 1998 das erste Live-Album A mi gente.

1998 trat sie erneut häufig in Buenos Aires auf. Mit dem Lied Los sueños de todo el mundo (Die Träume der ganzen Welt) war sie auf einem Album von Sony Music anlässlich der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 1998 vertreten und begleitete auch offiziell die Argentinische Fußballnationalmannschaft.

In den ersten Monaten 1999 machte Pastorutti die Aufnahmen für den Film La Edad del Sol (Das Alter der Sonne), ihre ersten Erfahrungen mit dem Kino. Der Film startete am 1. Juli 1999 in den Kinos und wurde der Erfolg der Saison mit mehr als einer Million Zuschauern.

1999 erarbeitete sie mit dem kubanischen Produzenten Emilio Estefan ihr viertes Album Yo si quiero a mi país (Ich liebe mein Land), das in Miami aufgenommen wurde und das Rhythmen anderer Länder Lateinamerikas aufnimmt.

2000 wurde sie erstmals zum Festival del Huaso de Olmué im Rahmen des Festival Internacional de la Canción de Viña del Mar nach Chile eingeladen, wo sie auch mit dem Preis Gaviota de Plata ausgezeichnet wurde. Im August trat sie beim Folklorefestival in Martigues in Frankreich auf. Aus Frankreich zurück nahm sie ihr fünftes Album Soledad auf. Im Herbst trat sie beim Festival de Cine y Música Argentina im Barbican Centre in London auf.

2001 produzierte sie mit Alejandro Lerner ihr sechstes Album Libre. Erneut wurde sie Anfang 2002 zum Festival Internacional de Viña del Mar nach Chile eingeladen und mit der Antorcha de Plata ausgezeichnet. Auftritte in Argentinien, Bolivien, Brasilien, Kanada, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru und Uruguay folgten. Ende 2002 trat sie gemeinsam mit Horacio Guarany im Luna Park in Buenos Aires auf. Das Konzert erschien als Live-Album Sole y Horacio juntos por única vez (Sole und Horacio gemeinsam für ein einziges Mal).

2003 trat Pastorutti beim Festival Argentino in Miami sowie in Kalifornien auf. Sie debütierte als Fernsehschauspielerin in der Telenovela Rincón de Luz (Ecke des Lichts) der Produzentin Cris Morena. Gemeinsam mit Pablo Santos, Bassist und Musikdirektor ihrer Band, produzierte sie das Album Adonde Vayas (Wohin du gehst), das sieben von ihr geschriebene Stücke enthält.

2004 trat Pastorutti mehrfach in Tel-Aviv in Israel auf, wo sie durch Rincón de Luz populär geworden war. Sie erzielte beim Festival in Jesús María einen Besucherrekord und trat auch beim Festival im chilenischen Punta Arenas auf, bei dem sie zwei Preise erhielt.

Pastorutti ist mit Jeremías Audoglio verheiratet und hat einen Sohn (* 2010).

Q: Why does const std::array, 2>& wavetable_h not point to the original array? I thought when you used const std::array<float> & arr the new array just pointed to the adress of the original array yet in my code when I change the original array the const array<>& doesn't change with it.
This means I have to set it constantly in my main loop instead of just once before entering the main loop. Any idea what I need to do to have it not copy and some explanation of why it's wrong would be appreciated.
main.cpp:
void GeoHeadAudioProcessor::processBlock (juce::AudioBuffer<float>& buffer, juce::MidiBuffer& midiMessages)
{
    juce::ScopedNoDenormals noDenormals;
    buffer.clear();
    proc0.setWavetable(waveforms); //Need to set it every time because it doesn't copy
    proc1.setWavetable(waveforms); // causes glitches to slow
    proc0.processBlock(buffer, midiMessages);
    proc1.processBlock(buffer, midiMessages);

}
public:
std::array<std::array<float, 1081>, 2> waveforms = {{ {0}, {0} }};

oscillatorprocessor.cpp :
public:
     void setWavetable(const std::array<std::array<float, 1081>, 2>& wavetable_h)
      {
         wavetable = wavetable_h;
      }
      void processBlock()
      {
         voice->setWavetable(wavetable, id);
      }

private:
     std::array<std::array<float, 1081>, 2> wavetable;
     SynthVoice* voice;

SynthVoice:
public:
   void setWavetable(const std::array<std::array<float, 1081>, 2>& wavetable_h, int id_h)
       {
           wavetable = wavetable_h;
           id = id_h;
        }

A: Your understanding of & is fine, but the problem lies in the class SynthVoice:
public:
   void setWavetable(
       const std::array<std::array<float, 1081>, 2>& wavetable_h, // A
       int id_h
   )
   {
       wavetable = wavetable_h;  // B
       id = id_h;
   }

I reformatted it a bit so I can mark things with A and B. While you have focused on A, which in deed is a reference to the array, look at line marked as B.
In that line, you are assigning the wavetable_h to .. something.
And that something, called wavetable, probably a field of class SynthVoice, probably is just a field. You wouldn't be able to assign to a array<...>& wavetable, because references are not assignable, it wouldn't compile. So most probably, the wavetable variable is a array, non-reference.
This in turn means, that line B copies what's passed as reference in line A, into variable wavetable. And that is why you observe that the array is not updating when you change it at the original location. The wavetable of SynthVoice is not a reference. It's a copy, so that copy is not 'updating itself' when you change the original thing.
Oh, I just noticed the oscillatorpreprocessor.cpp snippet. It has the same problem - and it looks exactly as I guessed in SynthVoice - std::array<std::array<float, 1081>, 2> wavetable;
If you changed it to anything like
std::array<std::array<float, 1081>, 2>& wavetable;
std::array<std::array<float, 1081>, 2>* wavetable;
std::shared_ptr<std::array<std::array<float, 1081>, 2>> wavetable;
std::reference_wrapper<std::array<std::array<float, 1081>, 2>> wavetable;
// ...

that it would be reference-ish and point to the original. Each of those examples shown has its own quirks, so consider them carefully. But each of them is some kind of a reference/pointer to the original, while std::array<std::array<float, 1081>, 2>& wavetable; is just a new separate thing.

A: Because wavetable is your class's private member stored by-value, so when you assign another array to it, that array is copied into wavetable. Consequently, changing one does not affect the other.
