A Modest Proposal to Ban Women from Wilf Campus
By: Rivka Reiter | Opinions | March 11, 2018
Much like the author of a recent article for The Observer, I identify as a feminist. And, like her, I firmly believe that Yeshiva University is, first and foremost, a yeshiva that believes in Torah UMadda, the synthesis of Torah principles and valuable secular knowledge. In her article, the author states that a good first step towards minimizing distractions and preserving the yeshiva atmosphere is maintaining the status quo of not allowing women to use the Wilf campus pool, explaining that it increases the chances for our boys to see immodesty. However, I must respectfully disagree.
Instead, we should ban women and girls from all the Wilf facilities.
Like I said, I'm a feminist. And the author's story of a time she saw a girl in a tank top and leggings in the men's cafeteria is absolutely horrifying, and clearly just the tip of the iceberg. Her anecdotal evidence shows us the risk that we are putting our men in every day we intentionally allow girls into their lounges, their libraries, and their classrooms. I shudder to think what would happen if we allowed the girls to attend the sacred Thursday night parties or, even worse, permitted them to move uptown.
This is a slippery slope and while we unfortunately can't stop community members from crossing the Yeshiva University 185th Street plaza, we have to try. I know that the undergraduate girls pay more in tuition and housing than the undergraduate men, but they maintain access to the most crucial of on-campus facilities: an ice machine, fresh sushi, and proximity to one of the world's largest department stores. Ask any Stern girl—Dunkin' Donuts in the caf is far more important than a pool, a multi-story library, or a theater.
We have graduate schools on the Wilf campus that are full of girls, and that can't be helped—to mine and others' dismay—but we are halakhically mandated to take further steps towards gender separation for the sake of our men. An entire third of our undergraduate clubs are co-ed, and we have to nip this in the bud before more of our clubs are tainted.
And before you start to challenge the idea that modesty isn't inherent to Yeshiva University, that in 1970, YU left the title of "yeshiva" behind to officially become a secular university for purposes of state and federal funding, I oblige you to remember that our faculty are hired with this exact goal in mind. For a hundred years Yeshiva University has hired those with the same moral code as them, not once bringing in teachers or administrators of low caliber or staff who portray YU as anything but the flagship institution of the Modern Orthodox world.
Wait a minute, you, the reader, are saying. Of course we believe in co-ed events! That's why we regularly bring men down to the girls' school for Shabbat! Remember that the controlled environment of a co-ed shabbaton is a unique situation, unlike the unsupervised library, cafeteria, and classroom. The girls on the shabbatons are under strict orders not to bring the men to impropriety, and, because we know that all undergraduate females have the capacity to be temptresses, all the Stern girls are required to sign contracts that they will not enter the hotel rooms, as this is the only way to stop them. Written contracts are binding, obviously, which is why our students have such strong academic integrity.
You, dear reader, might be getting upset right now. That's why I'd like to think that we can eventually consider proposing the reopening of certain facilities on the Washington Heights campus to women. Once the girls have stopped wearing jeans in their dorm buildings and are learning to comply with halakha, amenities such as restrooms and parts of the fourth floor of the library can be opened to them on a trial basis. Maybe we'll even fix the shuttle app for them so they can use it, though that would be a stretch.
I'm a feminist. So you can trust me when I tell you that separate but equal is the only way to go, and is always successful. The Jewish value of modesty is, as the author stated, crucial. In her words, "we are responsible for preserving a Yeshiva atmosphere, and we cannot allow this Yeshiva membrane to be permeated by setting up inappropriate situations that could otherwise be avoided." And I would go so far as to say that this value, this responsibility, is far more critical than any other Torah commandment, such as gemilut chasadim (the giving of loving-kindness), kivush hayetzer (mastering one's impulses), or kavod habriyot (honoring God's creations). We must keep girls away from the men's campus for the preservation of their Torah-true experience, no matter the cost.


Our mouths are filled with a mixture of both soft and hard tissues. The hard tissue areas, such as the teeth and jaw, are connected to soft tissue areas like the gums and tongue. Sometimes, whether due to an accident or occurring naturally, problems can arise with the tissues in the mouth. These problems consist of missing or broken teeth, improperly seated jaw joints, faulty bites, gum and jawbone damage, warn-down dental work, and even some mouth diseases. Reconstructive dentistry is the procedure of fixing any or all of these issues so the components of the mouth work together in harmony.
Oral Surgery: this consists of root canal therapy, tooth extractions, and soft and hard tissue grafting.
Bruxism Treatments: these are various treatments designed to repair the symptoms of excessive teeth grinding.
Cosmetic Dentistry: this includes porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, gum re-contouring, and dental bonding.
Implant Dentistry: this procedure uses dental implants to replace missing teeth, which includes directly replicating the missing tooth from the root to the crown.
Restorative Dental Treatments: these treatments include dental crowns, fillings, bridges, onlays, and inlays.
Are You a Candidate for Reconstructive Dentistry?
If you have most of or all the oral health problems listed above, you are a candidate for either partial or full mouth reconstructive dentistry. This type of treatment includes general anesthesia, so it is of high importance the patient is healthy enough to be put under.

Syria Won't Give Up the Last of Its Chemical Weapons
U.S. officials say the Syrian government is holding on to some of its chemical weapons to use as leverage
Colin Schultz

The deal was relatively straightforward: under threat of bombardment by U.S. cruise missiles, Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad agreed to give up his stockpiles of chemical weapons. The weapons would be rounded up, shipped out of the country and destroyed. Executing the plan was never going to be simple; it's now months behind deadline, and U.S. officials say that al-Assad is stalling, the Washington Post reports.
The deal to get rid of Syria's chemical weapons didn't only involve getting rid of the chemical weapons themselves, but also the facilities used to house and store the weapons and weapon precursors. Al-Assad doesn't want to let these facilities go. U.S. officials say al-Assad is holding on to the last of his stocks of a chemical precursor for the potent nerve agent sarin gas to use as leverage. The worry, of course, is that even with the weapons themselves destroyed, the facilities could be used to rebuild.
Adding to the tensions over the wavering plan to strip Syria of its chemical weapons are reports that the government may have potentially turned to using bombs laden with chlorine gas to attack rebel forces. Chlorine is not a particularly effective gas to weaponize, says New Scientist, and proving its use, let alone who used it, will be difficult.

UPDATE 1-Arconic plans to split its two core businesses
(Adds background about the two businesses, shares)
Feb 8 (Reuters) - Arconic Inc would split itself into two units - aircraft and power generation components unit and sheet and plate products division, and will spin off one of them at a later date, the U.S. aluminum products maker said on Friday.
The decision comes days after Chairman John Plant took over as chief executive officer in a surprise move, following Arconic's rejection of a takeover bid by private equity firm Apollo Global Management last month.
The company's biggest shareholder Elliott Management Corp has been trying to push Arconic for a sale, but potential legal liabilities from its smaller building and construction systems unit has put a question mark on the company's valuation, causing the board to be split over possible offers.
"After a rigorous and comprehensive process...the board sees more shareholder value creation through a restructuring of the company," Plant said in a statement, as Arconic reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter profit.
The company's shares rose 2.6 percent to $18.15 in early trading. (Reporting by Ankit Ajmera in Bengaluru; Editing by James Emmanuel and Arun Koyyur)

Microsoft Seizes 99 Domains Used in Iranian Phishing Attacks
A group of suspected Iranian hackers created domains that appeared to be Microsoft URLs, but they were actually scam sites intended to install malware and scoop up passwords.
Microsoft would like to remind you to be wary of bogus URLs.
A group of suspected Iranian hackers are sending phishing emails that link out to sites like "outlook-verify.net" and "verify-linkedin.net," according to Microsoft. At first glance, those sites might look legit, but they send people to fake websites looking to install malware and scoop up passwords.
Redmond has taken control of 99 internet domains used by the hackers' phishing schemes. It filed a lawsuit in US district court against the anonymous hackers, claiming their spoofed internet domains enabled computer crimes against the company and its customers.
Microsoft then demanded the domain registry companies hand over access to the 99 different domains. After reviewing the evidence, the judge granted the court order.
Redmond has used this same tactic before against suspected Russian hackers. However, today's announcement was directed at an Iranian-linked group called Phosphorus or Charming Kitten. According to Microsoft, the group likes to target governments and businesses, in addition to activists and journalists. Other security researchers have noticed the group going after nuclear experts and US military contractors.
The phishing scheme from Phosphorus works like this: A message will appear claiming a security risk with one of your internet accounts. The message prompts you to enter your password inside a web form, which is actually under the hacker's control. In a variation of the same tactic, Phosphorus masquerades as a friendly contact on social media, and sends you a link that's actually designed to install malware to your PC.
"Both attack methods employ the use of websites that incorporate the names of well-known brands, like Microsoft, to appear authentic," Microsoft VP Tom Burt said in today's announcement. "Websites registered and used by Phosphorus include, for example, outlook-verify.net, yahoo-verify.net, verification-live.com, and myaccount-services.net."
Microsoft is now redirecting traffic from the phishing domains to a company sinkhole, which will analyze the data to better understand Phosphorus' attacks.
The news is a reminder to be careful around your inbox. Some of the most effective phishing attacks claim to come from Google, Microsoft, or Yahoo, with warnings that your account had been breached. But in reality, the whole scheme is a ruse. Enabling two-factor authentication or using a security key can help protect your account in the event your password falls into the wrong hands.

Hot summer days can turn even the sturdiest plants into wilting messes. Even for indoor gift plants, warm days or constant air conditioning can stress a plant out so much that it won't last through the season. So just what do you do to keep your Giving Plants gift plants from fading away during the summer months? Here are a few pointers to keep your green friends healthy and happy during the dog days of summer.
Money trees fare best in rooms that have indirect light. And these green beauties love humidity—in fact, a room with 50% or more humidity is ideal. (If you live in a climate that is both hot and dry, you can use a humidifier to moisten the air.) Since extreme temperatures can cause the money tree to go into shock, be sure to place it away from A/C and heat vents and keep it away from open windows, where drafts of hot or cool air can cause problems.
Water the money tree until you see water coming out of the drainage holes, and then empty the tray underneath and replace it under the plant. This will tell you that it's well-watered—though you should take care not to overwater it or it may cause root rot. Check your plant every few days until you notice the top 2-4 inches of soil is dry, then repeat the watering process.
Gardenia plants are known to be a tad fickle—but keep them in the right conditions and care for them correctly and you will be rewarded with white, fragrant blossoms during their blooming season (typically in spring and summer). The gardenia plant fares best in a room with bright, indirect light. When keeping your gardenia plant indoors during summer, place it in a southern-facing window if available. Set it near the window, but preferably not on a windowsill or anywhere that the plant gets a lot of direct sunlight (as this will scorch the plant).
Since gardenias love a humid environment (somewhere between 50 to 60% humidity), you can use a humidifier if the air is too dry. However, misting your gardenia plant is not recommended as it may cause fungus growth on the leaves.
Your gardenia will tell you when it needs water: check its soil every few days and when the top 1-2 inches feel dry, water it. If it feels soggy or damp, you are probably overwatering it and need to wait until it dries out a bit before watering again.
Since the peace lily is a tropical plant, it loves humid environments with some sunlight and a consistently moist (but not soaking!) soil. Mist the plant's leaves daily or every other day with distilled water to keep it happy in warmer weather. These delicate plants fare best in warmer temperatures (70 degrees or higher), so summer won't phase them—especially if they have enough water.
A well-lit room—preferably with an east- or west-facing window—is the ideal place for peace lilies. And since they don't usually bloom in summer (but typically only in spring and possibly fall), don't expect to see any delicate white flowers just yet. However, a well-cared for peace lily in the summer will reward you with a long, healthy blooming period when it does arrive.
A beautiful but somewhat sensitive plant, the peace lily is easily affected by the chemicals found in tap water. Use filtered water when watering, and room temperature water is preferred.
Lavender plants require a lot of light to keep them happy. If possible, place your lavender plant near a south-facing window, preferably in direct sunlight, during summer. The plant will fare best in conditions where it receives a minimum of 3-4 hours of direct sunlight per day. If your lavender plant starts to become spindly, that means it's not getting enough light; if this is the case, it may be best to place the plant outside in a semi-shaded area where it can enjoy more sun.
When it comes to watering, we recommend drenching the soil of the lavender plant, and then allowing it to dry out (but not too much!) before watering it next. The growing conditions of the plant and the climate will affect how often you should water it, but check the soil with your finger every few days. When it feels slightly, but not overly, dry, it's time to water again. Other ways to tell how much (or little) water your lavender plant is getting is by its leaves: if they're yellowing, that means it needs more (or more frequent) watering.

Marco Silva disappointed by Watford's late collapse away at Everton
Marco Silva's post-match comments from Watford's 3-2 defeat away at Everton.
Connor Bennett
Marco Silva says he was disappointed by Watford's late collapse at Goodison Park, after dropping a 2-1 lead against Everton.
The Hornets led 2-0 against the Toffee's after quick second-half goals from Richarlison and Christian Kabasele but let their lead slip after goals from Oumar Niasse and Dominic Calvert-Lewin gave David Unsworth's team a foothold back into the game.
A stoppage-time penalty from Leighton Baines gave the Blues a 3-2 lead but Silva's side had their chance to level from the penalty spot in the 99th minute of stoppage time but former Everton midfielder Tom Cleverley stepped up and missed after Jordan Pickford had fouled Richarlison.
Speaking to the media after the game, the Portuguese boss said: "It's a really disappointing afternoon, for us, for our fans as well.
"We did everything well until 2-1. We could play again the same way, we controlled until that moment - the 2-1 - controlled all the match. Even after going up 2-0 we had our opponents under control.
"We gave the Everton players one chance and they started to believe again at 2-1."
Zonal marking or man to man?
The Portuguese boss was unhappy when quizzed about his side's use of zonal marking on the corner from which Calvert-Lewin levelled the game for the hosts.
"I respect the opinion, but forget it," Silva said. "We need to do it differently, but Everton did man-to-man and it didn't work.
"The goal we conceded against Chelsea was a fantastic goal. I understand we need to do things differently, but everything started when we lost the ball and permit the opponent to attack the ball.
Defending his stance, the 40-year-old added: "You need to work hard. We scored goals from set-pieces and we need to be different in our position."
Everton job links
The Watford boss has been linked with the managerial role at Goodison Park in recent weeks but refused to be drawn into talking about the possibility of leaving Watford before the end of the season.
"We need to talk about the match," Silva briefly commented before returning to speaking about his side's disappointing afternoon on Merseyside.
"Like you believe and you understand, it's a really disappointing afternoon for us, for me, for our players.
"I prefer to talk even after the 3-2. We believed again when we made the change and put Okaka on the pitch, we started to play with heart and in our style of play."

Q: How do I build Boost 1.55 with MinGW? I have downloaded Boost 1.55 and MinGW.
The console answers me that I haven't any command.
I can't understand how to bind two paths and activate the GCC compiler.
P.S.: If I build boost with Microsoft's compiler I will have about 8 mistakes with error 3861!!
How can I build it?

A: First make sure your mingw's bin directory is in your environment PATH so gcc and g++ is callable from your command prompt. Afterwards go into your boost's root directory of where you extracted the files.
Follow that with a bootstrap + b2.exe to build. For example, let's say you only want to compile the regex portion of boost. The follow commands should do the trick:
bootstrap gcc
b2 toolset=gcc regex

You can use:
b2 --show-libraries

to get a listing of modules you can build individually. Of course you can build all of them with just:
b2 toolset=gcc

Check out Boost Invocation for a detailed list of available options.

A: I was able to build it following the instructions from Antimony. However I initially got this error:
Bootstrapping the build engine
\Windows was unexpected at this time.

The error was solved by clearing the PATH variable and putting just the MinGW folder in it:
set PATH=C:\MinGW\bin

Then Antimony's instructions did the job for me. Thanks!!
Just two other small things that might be helpful. BOOST for MinGW should be build from the Windows shell, not from the MSYS shell. And in version 1.57 the bootstrap.bat script is no longer in tools\build\v2, but directly in tools\build.

A: If you have installed MinGW/GCC as part of TDM-GCC, you will have a "MinGW Command Prompt" that you can launch. This loads a command prompt window and puts the GCC compiler on the PATH for that window. (Similar to the "Developer Command Prompt" that is installed with Visual Studio.)
I think that the "MinGW distro" comes with one too.
If you have an integrated command prompt you can simply:

*

*Launch "MinGW Command Prompt"

*Go to your Boost folder (e.g. C:/Boost)

*Run bootstrap gcc

*Run b2 toolset=gcc (or whatever b2 command you need)

If you are working from examples where someone is not explicitly setting the toolset, you will have to add toolset=gcc yourself. Note that toolset must be placed in the property position not the option or command position. From b2 --help:
b2 [options] [properties] [install|stage]

So if someone was writing the command to invoke the install command with the --prefix option, they'd write it as:
b2 --prefix=C:\boost-build install

And you'd re-write it as:
b2 --prefix=C:\boost-build toolset=gcc install

See b2 --help for more details.

A: Greatwolf's answer didn't work for me, so here's how I managed to get it working.
First, make sure MinGW\bin is on your path
Go to the tools\build\v2 directory of your boost folder. For example, in my case it was C:\Boost\boost_1_55_0\tools\build\v2. Then run
bootstrap mingw

After that, switch to the root Boost directory (this part is important since b2 detects what to build based on current directory)
Now, if you want to build Filesystem, do
tools\build\v2\b2 toolset=gcc --build-type=complete stage --with-filesystem

This will put libboost_filesystem-mgw48-d-1_55.dll etc. in stage\lib. If you want to build everything, just leave off the --with-filesystem part.

Dubai, UAE, 24 May 2017: The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has today announced that it will allow financial technology (FinTech) firms to apply for a class of financial services licence referred to as an Innovation Testing Licence (ITL). This initiative signals the next phase of the DFSA's regulatory roadmap to foster innovation in Dubai.
Ian Johnston, Chief Executive at the DFSA, said: "FinTech is changing the landscape for financial services, providing more opportunities to seek financing and increasing financial inclusion. As regulators, it is our responsibility to provide a framework which supports the sustainable development of this industry while protecting consumers and financial stability."
The DFSA's approach is aligned with the National Innovation Strategy set out by UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to create an innovation-friendly ecosystem. In line with the goals of the Dubai 2021 strategy, the DFSA is also formalising its approach to loan-based and investment-based crowdfunding platforms. Specifically, loan-based crowdfunding has become a valuable source of financing for SMEs in several jurisdictions.
Mr Johnston added: "Our efforts to develop a regulatory framework that promotes growth and innovation, while protecting financial stability and consumers, is part of our contribution to Dubai's greater vision of becoming an information-based society and a smart city."
The DFSA's latest initiative follows the launch of the FinTech Hive at DIFC, which will bring together the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs to compete and address the growing needs of the region's financial services industry, using innovative technology solutions. It intends to catalyse growth and efficiency in a variety of areas including trade finance, alternative finance and Sharia-based services.

Following last month's Sega Raw live stream episode which featured new Shin Megami Tensei IV Final gameplay footage, the December 2015 edition will include a segment for Odin Sphere Leifthrasir.
The live stream will be on December 21, 2015 and go from 8:55 PM JST to 10:15 PM JST (3:55 AM – 5:15 AM PST / 6:55 AM – 8:15 AM EST). The Odin Sphere Leifthrasir segment will consist of live gameplay.
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir was previously featured on the July 27, 2015 edition of Sega Raw, alongside Persona 4: Dancing All Night.
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is slated to release in Japan on January 14, 2016 for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. It will release in South Korea for the PS4 and PS Vita on January 14, 2016. The RPG remake has also been confirmed for a North American release in Spring 2016.


Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney on Sunday said the White House is all right with taking a provision to repeal Obamacare's individual mandate out of Senate Republicans' tax bill if the provision is "an impediment" to its passage.
Johnson is the only Senate Republican to come out as opposed to the upper chamber's tax reform legislation, arguing that the current legislation does not provide enough aid to pass-through entities.Mulvaney said that the subject of pass-through entities, which pay the individual income tax rate as opposed to the corporate rate, "needs to be worked out". Unfortunately for Mulvaney, both the House and Senate tax bills would do just that, but he's now trying to spin millions of people losing their health insurance as them getting a tax break.
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said Trump still backs the repeal and disputed claims that it's being used as a "bargaining chip" in Senate negotiations.
"This is all about getting this passed in the Senate". "The president thinks we should get rid of it and I think we should get rid of it".
Mulvaney said he does not think it is now an impediment. The tax bill that passed the House last week did not include the repeal. Republicans hold a narrow 52-to-48 advantage over Democrats in the Senate.
Trump had urged lawmakers to add repeal of the mandate to the tax bill, writing on Twitter last week that the provision was "unfair" and "highly unpopular".

Public asked to comment on proposed oil and gas lease sale
HELENA, Mont. (AP) - Federal officials are taking public comment on a proposed oil-and-gas lease sale in December in Montana and western North Dakota.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management is proposing to sell leases for 102 parcels covering 69,270 acres in 20 Montana counties and one North Dakota county.
BLM officials say in a statement the 15-day comment period seeks input on issues and potential impacts of drilling those parcels.
The public comment period ends Aug. 24. The BLM will use the comments and its environmental assessment to decide whether to proceed with the lease sale.
An earlier sale of oil and gas leases near Livingston and the foothills of the Absaroka and Beartooth mountain ranges was postponed in March after concerns were raised about drilling in an area dependent on tourism.


Sporometrics is pleased to announce another publication, this time on Mosquito Microbial Communities in the Frontiers in Microbiology. This is work that comes out of our Mosquito surveillance work with the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The publication can be found here and includes our very own Amin Maharaj and Dr. James Scott.
Symbiotic microbial communities augment host phenotype, including defense against pathogen carriage and infection. We sampled the microbial communities in 11 adult mosquito host species from six regions in southern Ontario, Canada over 3 years. Of the factors examined, we found that mosquito species was the largest driver of the microbiota, with remarkable phylosymbiosis between host and microbiota. Seasonal shifts of the microbiome were consistently repeated over the 3-year period, while region had little impact. Both host species and seasonal shifts in microbiota were associated with patterns of West Nile virus (WNV) in these mosquitoes. The highest prevalence of WNV, with a seasonal spike each year in August, was in the Culex pipiens/restuans complex, and high WNV prevalence followed a decrease in relative abundance of Wolbachia in this species. Indeed, mean temperature, but not precipitation, was significantly correlated with Wolbachia abundance. This suggests that at higher temperatures Wolbachia abundance is reduced leading to greater susceptibility to WNV in the subsequent generation of C. pipiens/restuans hosts. Different mosquito genera harbored significantly different bacterial communities, and presence or abundance of Wolbachia was primarily associated with these differences. We identified several operational taxonomic units (OTUs) of Wolbachia that drive overall microbial community differentiation among mosquito taxa, locations and timepoints. Distinct Wolbachia OTUs were consistently found to dominate microbiomes of Cx. pipiens/restuans, and of Coquilletidia perturbans. Seasonal fluctuations of several other microbial taxa included Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus, Methylobacterium, Asaia, Pantoea, Acinetobacter johnsonii, Pseudomonas, and Mycoplasma. This suggests that microbiota may explain some of the variation in vector competence previously attributed to local environmental processes, especially because Wolbachia is known to affect carriage of viral pathogens.

War On Drugs: The Prison Industrial Complex, The
"It's self perpetuating in a number of ways and one is, in a real war, it's the military that is in fact taking the casualties. In this war, the people conducting the war – the police, the prosecutors, the courts – never suffer the consequences. They aren't taking the casualties, it's the general public which is taking casualties and the police and the prosecutors are only benefiting in the war in the sense they get better budgets."
The war on drugs has been going on for more than three decades. Today, nearly 500,000 Americans are imprisoned on drug charges. In 1980 the number was 50,000. Last year $40 billion in taxpayer dollars were spent in fighting the war on drugs.
As a result of the incarceration obsession, the United States operates the largest prison system on the planet, and the U.S. nonviolent prisoner population is larger than the combined populations of Wyoming and Alaska. Try to imagine the Drug Enforcement Administration erecting razor wire barricades around two states to control crime and you'll get the picture.
According to the U.S. Dept of Justice, the number of offenders under age 18 imprisoned for drug offenses increased twelvefold from 1985 to 1997. The group most affected by this propensity for incarceration is African-Americans. From 1985 to 1997, the percentage of African-American young people put in prison increased from 53 to 62 percent.
Today, 89 percent of police departments have paramilitary units, and 46 percent have been trained by active duty armed forces. The most common use of paramilitary units is serving drug-related search warrants, which usually involve no-knock entries into private homes. (Excerpt from video.google.com)

Timely resources for sellers
Seven Ways Second Nature Boutique Says Thank You to East Vancouver
In the spirit of gratitude, during the week of Thanksgiving, we want to celebrate a Square seller who uses her social enterprise to help boost her local community.
Elizabeth McKitrick opened Second Nature Boutique in November 2014 and has been giving back ever since. Elizabeth sells eco-friendly products and local art, while supporting local schools and providing a showcase for artwork by immigrant women.
Building a circular economy
Elizabeth works with local producers to create eco-friendly products such as soaps, kitchen ware, gifts and accessories. She hopes to benefit small-scale artisans in her community whilst minimizing waste with foraged, vintage and upcycled products.
"One of the goals of Second Nature is to build the 'circular economy' of local makers producing local products, which in turn strengthens the local economy," says Elizabeth. "Currently we have over 40 amazing local makers and artisans featured in the shop."
Showcasing immigrant art
Welcoming newcomers and giving them a chance to be part of the local art scene is another way that Elizabeth says thank you to East Vancouver. Second Nature works with the Cedar Cottage Neighbourhood House, a local community service agency, to support new immigrants.
"Second Nature is able to assist immigrant women who are artists or makers by offering them space to sell their artwork, promote their craft and informally build connections with other local makers," says Elizabeth. "At any given time, we have between four and eight immigrant women represented in the shop."
Artisans helping artisans
Elizabeth hosts regular meetups and an evening "maker soiree" to connect the artisans she works with. As a result, several have forged strong collaborations, shared supplies and cross-promoted one another's work. In one example, a woodworker began making frames for a local artist. "Their efforts are maximized and enriched through these community connections," says Elizabeth.
Supporting non-profits
Second Nature Boutique also works with external organisations that focus on providing employment for community members in East Vancouver. For instance, the shop works with Just Potters (tagline: "pottery with a purpose"), part of the Just Work Initiative, which offers meaningful work opportunities for people facing multiple barriers to employment. "Second Nature is an outlet for their pottery, and we also used their service, Just Renos, to renovate our space before we opened."
Spreading the love in East Van
Residents of East Vancouver love to celebrate the neighbourhood's unique diversity and quirky community and Elizabeth often promotes the store as a community hub.
"We also participate in the semi-annual campaigns with SayHiToAStranger (encouraging a friendlier urban experience), Bike to Shop Day, neighbourhood block parties and several community gardens in our neighbourhood," says Elizabeth. "It may seem like a lot of activities, but it's all complementary and works together well."
Clean for a cause
Recently, Elizabeth has partnered with the Burnaby-based Sapadilla Soap Co. to create the Clean for a Cause campaign, which provides bulk sales of eco-friendly cleaning products for school fundraisers and an educational program that highlights the environmental concerns associated with using plastics.
Squaring the love
Since community events are important to Elizabeth, she needs a point-of-sale system that's fully mobile and Square turned out to be an ideal option. She also likes using the analytics to keep track of sales.
"Even though we have a bricks-and-mortar shop, we wanted to have the freedom to participate in special events outside the shop. We also like the fact that it was so easy to get up and running with no costly equipment or monthly fees. We love the [sales data] reporting system too."

G.I. Joe's, the Northwest Sports, Outdoor & More store, announced the grand opening of a new store in Kennewick, Washington, its first store east of the Washington Cascades.
WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 2 -- G.I. Joe's, the Northwest Sports, Outdoor & More store, announced the grand opening of a new store in Kennewick, Washington, its first store east of the Washington Cascades. G.I. Joe's offers famous brand apparel, products and services for the Northwest sports and outdoor enthusiast. G.I. Joe's store is located at 7011 W Canal Drive in Kennewick, WA. The opening is scheduled for the first weekend in May.
"Having a G.I. Joe's in the Tri-Cities area now makes it possible for advanced sports and outdoor enthusiasts to find the expertise and technical gear they want, yet still allows recreational outdoor customers to find great brands and pricing," said Mike Murphy, manager of the Kennewick store.
In keeping with its commitment to connect with each community, G.I. Joe's Foundation will award several $1000 grants to local not-for-profit organizations at its ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 5th. Kennewick's mayor, James Beaver, and Kris Johnson, President of Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce will officiate. The community is invited to attend events offering gift cards for the first 500 customers on Friday, kids' trout fishing on Saturday, and guide service clinics and product demonstrations throughout the weekend.
"This is the largest grand opening we've had in the past few years. We have giveaways and demonstrations from local, regional and major national brands, and lots of activities for all ages," says Reese Thedford, Promotions Manager for G.I. Joe's.
Located in the former Wal-Mart building, the Tri-Cities G.I. Joe's is expected to employ 60 local residents, and draw customers from throughout the Mid-Columbia area.
As a Northwest-based company, G.I. Joe's looks forward to the opportunities ahead to help make the Tri-Cities a better place to live. Its commitment to community service is reflected in the company's Mission Statement: To exceed customer expectations by offering passionate service, the best brands and a specialty selection of products, while supporting the community where we live and work.
G.I. Joe's is a closely held retail chain of 25 full-line sports outdoor & more stores in Oregon and Washington. Known as the store for Northwest outdoor enthusiasts, G. I. Joes, founded in 1952, celebrates 54 years in business in 2006.


You know things are going well in a sector when both growth and value investors are finding ways to get in.
Such universal popularity has helped push biotech to outperform the broader market this year by a wide margin, particularly over the past six months. The Biotech Breakthroughs motif, for example, has gained 24.1% since mid-June. In that same time frame, the S&P 500 has risen 4.8%.
In the past month, the motif has increased 2.2%; the S&P 500 is down 1.6%.
Illustrating the attractiveness for investors of different stripes is Gilead Sciences, which has a 17.3% weighting in the Biotech Breakthroughs motif.
Brian Lazorishak, portfolio manager of the Chase Growth Fund, told Barron's that "a lot of traditional value companies are trading at a higher multiple than Gilead." Shares of Gilead trade at 10.5 times its forward 12-month earnings vs. 17 times for the entire S&P 500.
Lazorishak suggested that while some discount might be warranted due to the uncertainty over future drug sales, the attractive valuation already discounts the possibility of things going wrong.
For Barron's, a worst-case scenario appears less than likely. Its competition isn't yet threatening in the hepatitis C space, where Gilead now has first-mover advantage. Meanwhile, given the fanfare surrounding the expectations behind Harvoni , Barron's noted that investors may be giving short shrift to the company's $9 billion HIV business and research in other areas.
In addition, the growth investing story has been buoyed by the company's strong financial position and its use of free cash flow to repurchase shares, Barron's said. Return on equity, approaching 30%, is one of the highest of its peers, as are its gross profit and operating margins. The company recorded record cash flow last year and has been reducing its long-term debt, which was just over 20% of its market value at the end of 2013, down from more than half in 2011, according to the article.
Yet the feel-good vibes aren't limited to Gilead. Celgene, which comprises a 12.4% weighting in the motif, has seen its stock rise more than 40% in the past year, rising by one-third in just the last two months.
Celgene's star shot higher earlier this month on the strength of data it released at the American Society of Hematology conference.2 Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Mara Goldstein noted after the meeting that the company appears to have a "strong tailwind" heading into 2015, based on the volume of data supporting its core hematology franchise, as well as the potential from partnered assets.
With Celgene likely to continue enjoying operating leverage, Goldstein wrote that she believed there's a continued opportunity for rising EPS forecasts. She raised her own estimate and upped her price target on the stock to $131 — a 15% upside from its current level.
With biotech's brightest lights continuing to impress Wall Street and reward investors for showing faith in the future, the sector's rally may have more room to run.

Demonstrate detailed research skills to support an argument.
Objective: Demonstrate detailed research skills to support an argument.
What does this mean? You need to use research to show why a specific commercial is or is not convincing.
Your task will be to prove that a commercial, a piece of persuasion, is in fact effective or ineffective to its target audience. You must utilize scholarly research to support your claims of why this piece of persuasion is effective or not by using at least eight (8) academic sources to support your argument. Do not simply tell me that yes, it is or is not persuasive. You may show me how this work is at least equal to or more successful than another similar work of persuasion. How did this piece utilize the appeals more effectively? How did it achieve identification in a stronger way? How is its use of gaze more powerful? Do not tell me that it is; show me. The commercial that you choose must be real, it must be for an actual product, and this commercial must have been in general circulation. You may use commercials from the past or even in different languages so long as you translate any written or spoken text for your reader.
You will need to have a strong thesis with this paper, one that clearly argues that your chosen piece of rhetoric is in fact persuasive and why it is persuasive or not. As this is a research paper, there are things to consider.
You must have a works cited page accurately detailing in MLA format what 8 sources you use.
You need to be familiar with utilizing a library.
Remember: Online only sources like websites, Wikipedia, etc, are not academic sources and therefore do not count towards the minimum requirements.
I recommend looking through articles and books on the topic of persuasion from other academic schools of thought, namely: Psychology, History, Sociology, Art History, and Cinema Studies.
Do not spend more than 2 pages describing your piece of persuasion; focus on showing me how it is persuasive, not describing the best commercial ever.
Remember: A research paper is similar but not the same as an essay. You are trying to prove your thesis correct, but you have to do so through the use of many varied sources, not only through your own deductions and reasoning.
If you do not own one, you can find an MLA format guide on the internet.
You are attempting to show a mastery of rhetoric, so do not stay focused on only a handful of rhetorical techniques. This means if your paper only talks about ethos/pathos/logos, it will not be successful.

The Houthi-Saleh rebel militias have mounted heavy shelling on the city of Taiz which is bearing the brunt of the attacks by the radical militias since their coup d'état and aggressive advance on the city in late March 2015.
From their outposts in al-Hawban, on Friday afternoon, the militias fired a barrage of artillery projectiles on the neighborhoods of downtown Taiz but no casualties were reported this time.
Heavy shelling on the city and the death and maiming of civilians including children in the city's densely populated neighborhoods has become a usual thing amid that the international organizations ignore and the international media omit making mention of.

Home/Business/ITV2 releases Tour de France screening times
Like last year, there's to be an ITV Tour highlights programme once a week (post midnight, natch). To watch the daily live ITV2 coverage - including voiceovers from contract-tied Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen - UK viewers will need cable, satellite or digital terrestial tellies.
ITV2 releases Tour de France screening times
ITV2 was launched in 1998 and is an entertainment channel aimed at a younger audience. It is available free on digital cable and digital terrestrial TV and usually expands on the offerings from terrestial ITV1.
The ITV2 live coverage is extensive: 52 hours of it. The programme is produced by Venner TV, the same company that used to produce the much-beloved Channel 4 nightly highlights programme.
Fronting the coverage is Gary Imlach. This year he gets to travel to France for the duration of the Tour. For the ITV1 highlights programme last year he flew out each week to do an intro, and for the final stage was said to be in Paris but, in fact, was filmed by some bushes in Hyde Park, London.
When Channel 4 ditched its TdF coverage in preference to cricket, Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen were snatched up until 2005 by OLN, the Canandian cable channel. However, the pair will provide voiceovers for the ITV2 coverage.
The ITV deal is a three year contract, with ITV being licensed by Channel 4 for the coverage. In 2000, Channel 4 signed a five year contract with the European Broadcast Union, which is assigned the TV rights to the Tour by organiser Amaury Sport Organisations.
The ITV2 TdF schedule is:
Saturday 6 July 4.30 – 6.30pm
Sunday 7 July 2.15 – 4.35pm
Monday 8 July 1.35 – 4.30pm
Tuesday 9 July 1.35 – 4.30pm
Weds 10 July 1.35 – 4.30pm
Thursday 11 July 1.35 – 4.30pm
Friday 12 July 1.35 – 4.30pm
Saturday 13 July 3.25 – 4.30pm
Sunday 14 July 2.15 – 4.35pm
Monday 15 July 1.35 – 4.30pm
Tuesday 23 July 1.35 – 4.30pm
As well as highlights programmes each evening (apart from rest days) on ITV2, ITV1 has highlight programmes every Monday from July 8 at 12.30am.

IRISH PROJECT: THE SEARCH IS STILL ON (November 26/12)
I like to think of it as the Irish Project, the search for the Irish of Kings County. The project was started just over a year ago and is an effort by the Community and Family History Committee of the Kings County Museum to trace Irish families.
As mentioned in this column last year, the main focus of the Committee is on tracing families that emigrated from Ireland and settled in Kings County during the 1700s and 1800s. I spoke recently to Committee member Glenda Bishop and she said their efforts to date generated 27 responses. "The project is going well," Bishop said, "but a lot of research still has to be done."
I assume that at a future time a database will be created on the Irish families of Kings County. If you have Irish roots, your ancestors settled in Kings County and you have a story to tell, I urge you to contact the museum so you can be included. Nelson Labor is the chair of the Committee and he can be reached via email at genealogy@okcm.ca.
One of the intriguing questions about the Irish that came to Kings County, by the way, is why most of them settled in outlying areas. Were they outcasts and unwelcome? Was religion a factor in why the Irish appear to have been relegated to hardscrabble areas on the North Mountain and far out on the New Ross Road? Is it a fact that most of the good farm land had already been claimed by Planters and Loyalists and as latecomers, there was little left for Irish settlers?
Perhaps some of these questions will be answered after the Community and Family History Committee finishes its Irish project. Glenda Bishops tells me there were many interesting stories in the responses received to date by the Committee. What stands out in these tales is that Irish families usually wound up in unsettled places, never or hardly ever on or even near the prime farmlands of Kings County.
Of course this isn't true of all the Irish who arrived here. Take Henry Magee, for example. A Loyalist who was chased out of the States when the American Revolution succeeded, Magee became a prominent Kentville businessman. In 1788 Magee built a home, a store and a mill here. In his time, to quote from a Kings County Vignette, Magee was saluted as a "merchants, miller, trader, pawnbroker and friend of the whole community."
There were few Irishmen like Magee, of course. Most were like my great grandfather, David Coleman, who according to family lore was a rough farmer who scratched out a living on the North Mountain. David was like those other Irish settlers who came here before, during and after the famines in Ireland. Hopefully, once the Irish project of the Community and Family History Committee is completed, the stories of the likes of David Coleman will be recorded for posterity.

By the close of the second century, however, agreement was fairly widespread that the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, along with a number of Paul's epistles and some from James, Peter, and John, should be recognized as the New Testament. In A.D. the present collection of twenty-seven books was accepted. A view from the UMC pew: Love this statement:"On the one hand, it requires that we start from the beginning in the Christian story." Three years ago, after decades of struggling with what it means to be a Christian, circumstances finally forced me to distance myself from all things church.
The Christian Centuries, Vol. 1 book. Read reviews from world's largest community for readers/5(1). Transcript. The church itself in the early 16th century is undergoing changes and challenges and we can perhaps say, although this is of little interest to most people, that the state of the church in the early 16th century remains a challenge to historians in the sense that we know lot about what was going on in the early 16th century, but there's a debate amongst historians as to whether.
Poets, scientists and philosophers wrote thousands of books (on paper, a Chinese invention that had made its way into the Islamic world by the 8th century. Philadelphia was the sixth of seven congregations to receive a message from Jesus Christ at the end of the first century. For an overview of the messages to all seven congregations, see "Seven Churches of Revelation." Members of the Church of God in Philadelphia undoubtedly faced similar influences and pressures as did other Christians at the time.

The separation of church and state is a philosophic and jurisprudential concept for defining political distance in the relationship between religious organizations and the tually, the term refers to the creation of a secular state (with or without legally explicit church–state separation) and to disestablishment, the changing of an existing, formal relationship between the church.

–3 NIV). Ruins from a small, fourth-century Byzantine church stand on the grounds of the Temple of Artemis. I found the crumbling church—built a few hundred years after John's letter—to be a hopeful sign that some in Sardis took the warning to repent.
Some of the problems of the early church included the following: Racial tensions between Jews and Gentiles, which was resolved by the disciples appointing deacons to care for the needs of all (Acts ), and relates to the church today in that pastors can look to deacons to help in the ministry of the local church by ministering to all people.
A number of expositors down through history have held that the seven churches represent seven sequential stages of church history.

The second and third centuries saw a sharp divorce of Christianity from its early roots. Our aim in this book is to provide reliable English translations of the most significant official documents in one of the most controversial fields of Church History--the story of the Church's relationship with the secular political power through the various metamorphoses of that power over twenty centuries of.
That's where the seven ages theory comes in: If the material in chapters 2 and the seven messages--also represent seven ages that span Church history, then there is a way of avoiding the multi.

This edition has been redesigned with new typography and greatly improved graphics to increase clarity, accessibility, and s: The question of Church and State and the problems to which their relation has given rise, are as old as Christianity.
In a true sense there was no problem of Church and State before the advent of Christ when, for all practical purposes, the public authority was regarded equally competent in the field of religion as in the secular domain. Fifth, the church must rediscover its eschatological hope.
Throughout its history, the church has oscillated between a preoccupation with the return of Christ and an irresponsible neglect of this doctrine. In the 20 th century, the pendulum swung too far toward towards end-time speculation and eschatological sensation. In the 21st century, the.
The book of 1 Corinthians, written in the middle of the first century, is amazingly relevant. From the standpoint of pastoral ministry it may be the most contemporary of Paul's letters. Many pastors only think they have a difficult church until they read 1 Corinthians.
How could a church started by the apostle Paul be fractured by divi-sions. I had read most of this book for a seminary class and I picked it up recently to finish it.
It is a bit outdated book published in in its third revision, but it still has insight as it looks at the history of the church.
Moreover, it is interesting to read about its views of the direction of the church, its current/future problems /5(29). A state-of-the-art cable car carried us to the top of the hill where we viewed extensively excavated ruins.
Pergamum was a principal city of the Roman Empire in the first century. The most striking remnant is the steep theater built into the side of the hill that sea people. The tricky task of the church in the 21st century is to lead people to awe, wonder and worship without watering things down or constantly reinventing the wheel.
