Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia's 2016 election meddling, according to a four-page letter that Attorney General William Barr sent to Congress on Sunday.
Congratulations President Trump. Once again a great failure for democrats and a great victory for republicans. You are winner president Trump, just as always.
Our idiot Congressmen believed the whole damn thing! But even if they didn't they went along with it, destroying the integrity of our government and the news media, something from which our country may never recover. This whole incident made America look like a fool. Thanks, Leahy, Welch, and Sanders.
me die a happy man knowing Obola was incarcerated in the jail he couldn't get rid of…Sweet..
a cell for that one.
After which President Trump in his second term could state "Justice for America" has returned.
Thé sole purpose of the media loading on Trump was to sell more newspapers to survive just a little longer.
But the handwritings are on the wall. They will be goners soon.
Welcome to the alternative media.
It had nothing to do with fair, objective reporting.
They had an axe to grind after Clinton's inept, ineffectual campaigning.
After the Mueller report, what issue could possibly replace it?
All issues would be small potatoes by comparison.
It's much, much worse than just selling newspapers, making money. Sheryl Atkinson layers it out in her book The Smear. yuri Bezmanov laid it out in his videos,talks, which coincidentally you can't find on Amazon. It's way bigger than just money.
The investigation succeeded in its purpose. i.e To deflect attention from the candidate who did collude with Russia (note Uranium One, contribs to Clinton Foundation, etc).
And the fact the wanted to jail him under obstruction or some other process crime, which is standard fair and practice from the hand book to which they all play, Rules,for,Radicals…..all,hail Alinsky is apparently the DNC model.
In DC, Top Secret documents were combed through in less than 2 years time, massive inquiries, subpoenas, interviews all the while the propaganda press scream hang em' high. Low and behold no collusion.
Meanwhile, Vermont has public documents for and EB5 scandal, the largest in the nation to the tune of $200 million or so, started what 8 years ago? Still no documents released. Still nobody in Vermont Government did anything wrong? When their only job was to make sure the money was present when the project was completed?
And the Vermont press attack, day and night, lampoon the man. Perhaps a bit of self reflection? Perhaps some remedial classes on how to spot propaganda? How to find the truth? How to tell the difference between feelings and fact?
Irony……or maybe a new book?
and $24 million dollars wasted the DemocRATs are not satisfied with the results……..
for jaywalking…………….What a bitter bunch of losers, too bad !!
as independents will get sick of the BS and Trump will walk in for another four !!
I assume when that happens, there'll be a high rate of Liberal suicides…….Oh well.
The liberals will be picking this report apart. They'll find something in it to blame trump for and broadcast it across all their progressive news medias. I wish that would have concentrated as much time and money investigating Hillary but that would never happen. We need term limits bad in this country. No more career politicians.

Tall order for Bernie on divorce grid
THE question now is whether Bernie Ecclestone will take the McCartney route or retire quietly to one of his mansions and lick his wounds.
Birmingham Live
Get all the latest politics news straight to your inbox with our bi-weekly newsletter
Today like every one of the previous 11 since he was evidently surprised by the announcement of his impending divorce from wife Slavica, he will be dizzy with conflicting advice on whether he should fight or surrender. That's no small matter because the former model is no doubt after as big a chunk of the Formula 1 supremo's £2.4 billion fortune as she can negotiate. And good luck to her.
Slavica. Now there's a name. It could belong to Morticia's sister and, indeed, there is something Addams Family-ish about the willowy 6ft 2in Croatian dockworker's daughter. Didn't she do well? But then so did Bernie, married 24 years to an impeccable mother and a businesswoman of such foresight she even has the keys to his off-shore fortune.
It appeared to be a marriage made in a comedy movie script. Not only is she half an inch short of a foot taller than her diminutive suitor, looming over him like a farmyard silo, she's also 28 years younger. Initially, she was so put off she gave him a fake phone number.
You wouldn't say Ecclestone, owner of the Brabham racing franchise, was poor when he wed the once-reluctant bride. But within three years, he was initiating the moves that were to establish, with the assistance of legal adviser Max Mosley, his complete domination of Formula 1 by way of the ownership of the television rights which next year return to BBC. Ecclestone has hardly put a financial foot wrong since his marriage and don't tell me that has nothing to do with the forceful Slavica, with whom he has two daughters. He even persuaded Tony Blair to alter the new rules of cigarette advertising in his favour.
Even if I had doubts about her right to a substantial share of all that loot which I don't, I'd like him to repay the debt to women in general when he commented of a successful Indianapolis 500 woman driver: "She did a good job. didn't she? Super. Didn't think she would be able to make it like that. You know, I've got one of these wonderful ideas that women should all be dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances."
And now he feels he wants to tackle one of those domestic appliances in front of M'lud, a decision which surely would leave him with mangled fingers and enough worry to age him five years beyond his current 78.
In a way I'm sorry for Bernie because he didn't see it coming, whereas any woman could have guessed that an attractive potential billionairess with the children off her hands and an eye for the future would at least consider it was time to take a shufti at the alternatives.
However, I can definitely state that any rumours of an affair with Lewis Hamilton are untrue. No, this time I think she'll be looking for someone her size.

Abracadabra! (We just destroyed capitalism)
Hello everyone. I'm out of town for the weekend and checking the blog minimally, so will keep this brief.
So, many of us have seen the 50th Anniversary poll from Doctor Who Magazine. For those who haven't, TheSmilingStallionInn gave the top and bottom 40 in a comment over here.
I cannot imagine that this is not enough to fuel a solid weekend's discussion. So. Thoughts?
← Silky, Luminous Cobwebs (The Last War in Albion Part 47: Captain Britain in The Daredevils, Psychedelia and Marvel Comics)
Sensor Scan: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind →
William Whyte 5 years, 7 months ago
Top 40: Interesting to see Power overtaking Evil, wonder if that's because there's been so much buzz recently about Power being returned. I remain baffled by why everyone likes Pyramids of Mars quite so much, especially given how weak most of the last episode is.
Bottom 40 features four that would be in my top half (The Gunfighters, Dragonfire, The Web Planet, Love and Monsters -- the last one in my top quarter) and I think unfairly underrates The Space Museum, The Long Game, Delta and the Bannermen and Paradise Towers. I suspect when Underwater Menace episode 2 gets more widespread (and if the others are released too, all hail the OMNIRUMOR), that story will get a bump up.
xen trilus 5 years, 7 months ago
Anton B 5 years, 7 months ago
The results suggest that, incredibly, there are still some DWM readers who evidently don't subscribe to the Eruditorum. The Web Planet at 219, The Sensorites at 225!? The Talons of Weng Chiang at 6!
Anyway I find lists quite boring. The reduction of subjective opinion to a quasi-democratic voting system seems pointless to me.
To those of you who find this kind of stuff interesting I applaud you. I'll enjoy reading you all having fun picking over the bones.
It makes perfect sense as a measure of how beloved each story is right at this instant.
But I'm interested in why exactly Akhaten is so insanely low, when it was essentially just sort of naff. I wonder if it's perhaps because it tried to pull the "Murray Gold makes them cry" card - which usually goes down immensely well - but lacked the actual material to back it up, thus making the audience manipulation blatantly transparent and cynical (and cliché) to even the casual viewer.
Or perhaps it's a case of disappointed expectations? It was supposed to be the exciting first off-world voyage with a brand new companion, full of aliens and flashy action and other such gubbins. Instead it was a somewhat misconceived waitaround which was actively awkward to sit through in the same room as another human being (also partially goes for the similarly low-ranked Widow and the Wardrobe, which had the added onus of being the Christmas special).
For the record, I think the base ingredients of Akhaten could probably have been made into a great story. Akhaten just isn't it. It strikes me as unwisely ambitious for someone's first Doctor Who script.
(Argh. Deleted earlier version as I was mistaken about the placement of Widow and the Wardrobe relative to Akhaten.)
Scott 5 years, 7 months ago
Let's be honest; hugely enjoyable though it was, there's no way The Day of the Doctor is where it is on that poll for any other reason than rose-tinted goggles (in particular, the special edition limited release 50th anniversary ones).
And also, Paradise Towers is wonderful and anyone who seriously thinks it should be the twelfth-worst Doctor Who story in existence is no longer my friend.
Bennett 5 years, 7 months ago
The results of this poll were no more and no less wrong than the last time this was attempted - there were just new things for it to be wrong about. Which is inevitable when you're surveying a subset of a subset of a subset of the show's audience (I still find them a very useful reference as they are wrong in illustrative ways, working more as a measure of the sub-sub-subset that completed the poll than of the relative merits of the episodes themselves).
...but I'm just stating the obvious. So to make better use of my comment I should throw a few more stats out there that might interest Eruditorum readers. Using Phil's "Act of Madness" from earlier this year, these are the stories on which his ranking diverged the most from the DWM poll (in terms of raw position differences):
Love & Monsters: +196
Paradise Towers: +172
The Web Planet: +153
The Space Museum: +152
The Rescue: +149
The Rings of Akhaten: +147
Tomb of the Cybermen: -172
Inferno: -162
The Seeds of Doom: -154
Earthshock: -143
The Mind of Evil: -143
The positions agreed on three stories: The Evil of the Daleks, The Stolen Earth/Journey's End and Partners in Crime.
David Anderson 5 years, 7 months ago
The first three episodes of Pyramids of Mars are really effective as scary tension. If what you're looking for in Doctor Who is scary monsters and ranting megalomaniac villains, then Pyramids delivers until Tom Baker stops being possessed. That said, I'm pleased to see that the under-35s don't seem to rate it quite as highly as the older voters. Also, the Wilderness Years generation seem not to share the older voters' disdain for The Happiness Patrol.
I have terribly mixed feelings about Love and Monsters.
Pierce Inverarity 5 years, 7 months ago
I have such mixed feelings about Akhaten. It's so ambitious, but good grief it needed three more drafts. I firmly believe that there are some great ideas in there that don't get properly fleshed out by the script and the direction. For example, it seems to me that there's a worthwhile point in there about the value of past experience vs. future potential - an ideal theme for a story where a new companion takes her first trip with a Doctor who's been unhealthily fixated on the past.
I think it'd be no lower than the middle of the pack on my list. I'll take an ambitious failure that gives me something to think about any day.
Kit 5 years, 7 months ago
It strikes me as unwisely ambitious for someone's first Doctor Who script.
It was Cross' second Who script, apparently commissioned in a rush after Hide turned out so well. (And presumably written largely to order - the opening sequence feels entirely written by Moffatt.)
Pen Name Pending 5 years, 7 months ago
"I wonder if it's perhaps because it tried to pull the "Murray Gold makes them cry" card - which usually goes down immensely well - but lacked the actual material to back it up, thus making the audience manipulation blatantly transparent and cynical (and cliché) to even the casual viewer."
I actually cried. I mean, I'll admit a lot of my attachment to to this episode is because of the way it presents singing--I wrote about it recently--but this episode does have a lot of other themes and ideas I just love to think about. I watched it recently and it still holds up. Sometimes I forget that the story has aliens and "monsters"...and I understand that's now how everyone else watches the show, and some of it is sloppy, but for me it was a treat.
I'll check out the full list when I get the issue of DWM (still not in my local Barnes and Noble yet, although they had the 2013 series special edition...wow, that is so thorough). While ultimately polls like this don't determine the merits of a story, they are at least interesting in displaying what "fan consensus" is--or what people think it is--which is another dimension to the lore of the show.
I think what I'm more interested in and what I'd love to see DWM (or the website, etc) do sometime (although it is done to a small extent with the end-of-year polls and the letters), is compile some snippets from people who write in about how much some episodes are important to them--whether it got them into the show, pulled them out of rough times, helped them bond with others, etc. It would be especially nice to eschew the negative comments on episodes without that great of a reputation.
BerserkRL 5 years, 7 months ago
Plus polls aren't all that good at expressing subjective opinions, at least not stable ones. If I had to rank all those I'm sure many of my choices would be arbitrary or depend on my mood at the moment.
Plus I'd be willing to bet that some respondents were ranking episodes of which they have only hazy memories, while others are ranking episodes they haven't actually seen.
Sean Daugherty 5 years, 7 months ago
I'm still depressed that, 30 years after Peter Haining wrote his personal dislike for the serial into the consciousness of fandom, "The Gunfighters" is still showing up on "worst story" lists. Also kind of sad to see both "Love and Monsters" and the entirety of season 24 on there (where only "Time and the Rani" really deserves it, IMO). But I can't really argue with the bottom 5.
As for the top 40, I still don't understand why everyone adores "The Caves of Androzani," but I can't say I'm surprised to see it so near the top. Ditto for "The Pyramids of Mars" and "The Daemons." I'm actually gratified to see "The Stolen Earth"/"Journey's End" do so well: it's a big, loud, bombastic mess, but it's basically RTD's version of "The Five Doctors," and I find it extremely endearing despite its flaws. And "Power of the Daleks" outranking "Evil of the Daleks" is wonderful, even if I suspect the placement has less to do with "Power"'s superior storytelling and more to do with the fact that it's the first post-regeneration story.
What I found most interesting wasn't the actual list, where my eyes quickly glazed over as my dyscalcula became more pronounced in the face of a neverending parade of numbers. The interesting bit was the analysis of the top episodes in each decade, which confirms that the best Doctor Who episodes are always open to new perspectives.
Over the years I have read so much analysis of "Genesis" or "Androzani" or even "Blink", and yet observations like the idea of Davros being more the main character of "Genesis" than the Doctor is, or Sally Sparrow and Larry Nightingale are basically proto-Amy and Rory, are entirely new to me, and give me a new insight into how the story functions. This is, of course, the same enjoyment I get out of TARDIS Eruditorum.
@Kit
My mistake, I misremembered Moffat's quote.
Jesse 5 years, 7 months ago
Lots of ugh moments in the bottom 40 list. It includes two of my favorites (The Gunfighters and Love and Monsters), and several others that don't deserve to be anywhere near so low, whatever their flaws (who the hell rates The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe lower than Warriors of the Deep?).
Simon Simmons 5 years, 7 months ago
Peter Haining isn't to blame. That section of 'A Celebration' was written by Jeremy Bentham.
Just glanced over it, but it's interesting how there are more new series stories in the bottom than the top...I expect because of recency, nostalgia for old stuff, not being a child any more, knowing the "concensus" from the Internet...
There's also a big favoritism for monster and event episodes. Nostalgia.
So naturally, the most interesting thing will be watching Matt Smith's episodes probably rise as his era gets older.
Triturus 5 years, 7 months ago
I haven't watched Warriors of the deep since first broadcast. But bad as it may be, I bet it doesn't have anything in it that is as bad as the suggestion that a good way to woo someone is to follow them home and pester them until they give in.
That line isn't great, although it does sound like what couples from that time might say (I swear I heard a story like that once, but memory may cheat), but I doubt that's what people who ranked it low were thinking of.
Also newer episodes may get more votes (and viewers) than older, unpopular episodes?
Nyq Only 5 years, 7 months ago
"Plus polls aren't all that good at expressing subjective opinions, at least not stable ones. If I had to rank all those I'm sure many of my choices would be arbitrary or depend on my mood at the moment."
I wouldn't invest too much in polls but the reason you cite are actually a positive feature of polls. Yes, as individuals are feeling about particular episodes will fluctuate but assuming these fluctuates vary randomly across the voting population that should make the poll a more reliable ranking than any given individuals.
liminal fruitbat 5 years, 7 months ago
Sample size of one, but that's part of why I ranked it low.
Looking at the top of the poll, and comparing to the poll five years ago during Tennant's last year:
Significant rises are: War Games, Inferno, Five Doctors, Green Death.
Significant falls: Turn Left, Stolen Earth, Girl in the Fireplace, Army of Ghosts, Evil of the Daleks; possibly also Last of the Time Lords and Impossible Planet.
All of Davies' season finals have dropped, although I'm surprised Army of Ghosts dropped out of the top 40 rather than Stolen Earth. Also that Girl in the Fireplace is the Moffat episode that's dropping in popularity. There don't seem to be any Davies-era episodes showing a significant rise in popularity.
Looking at the bottom, all of McCoy's episodes that I can see (except Time and the Rani - fair enough) seem to be rising. The great Paradise Towers reevaluation may yet happen.
The Smith era is underrepresented among the top 40, but not horribly so. I think it's equally underrepresented among the bottom 40.
At least it has the distinction of being a recent poll where UKIP didn't get any votes. (A possibly too obscure Eurocentric reference). Actually though, thinking about it, the recent rise of disturbingly right-wing political parties in the European elections illustrates precisely why I find democratic processes where the results are determined by the minority who bother to vote, but are taken as consensus, unappealing.
William Silvia 5 years, 7 months ago
Can anybody explain how Neil Gaiman scored below the worst-written and worst-edited episode of all time (Journey)?
Daniel Tessier 5 years, 7 months ago
It's standard romantic comedy bullshit, isn't it? Actions that in real life would be considered stalking presented as charmingly persistant.
With that caveat, though, I really like Doctor, Widow, Wardrobe.
Sure. Firstly, Journey being the "worst-written" and "worst-edited" episode of all time is a subjective view not necessarily shared by all fans (personally I wouldn't say either to be true by a long chalk). Secondly, "Neil Gaiman" did not score below Journey - the episode Nightmare in Silver did. Whatever cult-cred Gaiman has, it isn't enough to buoy up an episode perceived to be that weak.
Not that I'm down on Silver in particular. Both episodes have faults. Both episodes have strengths. And both made for an entertaining evening's viewing.
I think both suffer unduly from the backlash of fan 'anticipointment'. Neither really delivered on the hype of the "TARDIS episode" or the "Gaiman episode" - but that was always an unattainable goal. Of course, this sub-sub-subset of fandom is unwilling to accept such failings, so I'm not surprised or even disappointed by their low positions (or their proximity).
Now, as for the story sandwiched between them....
TheSmilingStallionInn 5 years, 7 months ago
Yeah, I definitely agree with that analysis of Blink, proto-Amy and Rory, and The Angels Take Manhattan is the place where Amy refuses to accept Rory dying when Sally couldn't save the old Billy.
'That line isn't great, although it does sound like what couples from that time might say (I swear I heard a story like that once, but memory may cheat)'
I was reading that 'Blink' analysis and it brought up that scene where Kathy Nightingale met her future husband after being sent back in time--he was following her then...
I still can't get over the fact that someone would actually name their kid after Jeremy Bentham.
What bugged me about "Widow" was the whole "women's strength comes from motherhood" stuff.
If it's any comfort Gunfighters is has risen compared to where it was five years ago.
elvwood 5 years, 7 months ago
I agree with what you say, but don't over-emphasise the sub-sub-subset thing. Yes, it's a teeny tiny proportion, but it's massive compared to (say) GallifreyBase, where the rankings attract 2.87% of these numbers of voters. Or, say, people who comment here. These things will never represent the vast majority of viewers, but it's the closest we'll probably get to an idea of what fans en masse think.
ScarvesandCelery 5 years, 7 months ago
Nightmare in Silver and Love and Monsters being in the bottom 40, Rings of Ahkhaten in the bottom ten all disappoint me - to some extent I agree with Love and Mosters criticism, but I've never been able to hate "So much darker, so much madder and so much better" - it's a story that gets way too much vitriol.
It seems to me Nightmare in Silver is only so low because of the expectation that came with it. It's lovely little oddball story, too flawed to be great but definitely worth rewatching
As for rings of Ahkhaten, there's a story for which the level of hate simply baffles me. It poetic and beautiful and probably the most underrated Doctor Who story there is, IMO.
As for dissapointing Highs:
Talons? Really, fandom? It's undeniably well made television, but are we really excusing/ ignoring/ not noticing the racism to the point where it comes sixth in the poll?
Tomb of the Cybermen - it's racist and it doesn't even have the good story excuse - all it has is some nice sets and good performances by the regulars. And I'll admit, it has one of the show's best ever speeches. It's still poor as hell, though
@TheSmilingStallionInn: With the comparison to "Blink"--I think "Widow" just is way more forgettable so those lines stick out. I enjoyed it, but almost forgot about it entirely until I got the S7 DVD.
As for Warriors of the Deep? Less people have seen it.
Okay, I've done some number-crunching just for fun. Accuracy not guaranteed. First, the number of voters was down on the Mighty 200 by about 4.2%, but the number of under-18s was up while the big drop came from the over-36s. Which has to be hopeful for the future!
Onto the Doctors, then, with Paul being ignored where including his lone story makes little sense.
Last time, Bill and Jon shared the honours for most consistent Doctor, and were the only classic Doctors not to have any stories in the bottom 5% (Chris managed this as well). This time Bill takes a clear lead in consistency, but unfortunately this is mainly due to some of (the still second for consistency) Jon's stories climbing a lot - Jon's average rating is now 6½% ahead, as opposed to 5% last time. Jon and Chris are now the only two avoiding the bottom 5%, too.
Average ratings were up for every Doctor except two. Particular winners in this regard were Sylv (+3.76%), Paul (+3.37%), Jon (+2.53%), Colin (+2.19%) and Pat (+2.15%). Bill (+0.97%) did worst of the classic Doctors by this measure, but the RTD era suffered most with Chris (-0.01%) and David (-1.61%) dropping. It's important not to read too much into this - all of Matt's scores except The Eleventh Hour were down from the DWM's season polls, so there is a cooling off that happens which should be particularly noticeable for the back end of David's run, though I haven't looked at this in detail.
If I get time later on I'll look at seasons, too, but I'm probably not going to find the space until tomorrow.
Anyway, now I've got the numbers input, I can probably work out more if there's specific stats people want to know. The one thing I most wish DWM would do is post S.D. or similar for each story, so we can get some idea of how marmite they are!
Question. If Clara is talking to the TARDIS--in fact, they have a relationship!--does that pass the Bechdel test?
Not that I'm exactly trying to defend it...I'm just not sure the same people who gave such high marks to Talons and Tomb were thinking about sexism.
Only if the TARDIS talks back.
Here's the season results (mine are different from the printed Mighty 200 ones, at least partly because (a) I am doing the Trial of a Timelord as four stories, and (b) I am including Christmas specials):
1. 13 (80.40%, up 1.13%)
2. 7 (80.24%, up 2.07%)
8. S1 (74.42%, down 0.01%)
10. 8 (72.73%, up 2.40%)
11. S5 (72.48%)
12. S3 (72.05%, down 1.97%)
13. S4b (71.20%)
15. 25 (70.57%, up 4.60%)
22. S7a (68.41%)
Sorry for omitting commentary, I need to get to bed!
breyerii 5 years, 7 months ago
What I really find baffling is that, even though they were recovered at the same time, and the Web of Fear still lacks an episode, it ranks in the top 40 while Enemy of the World does not...
To quote inspector Maigret: people are so silly...
GeneralNerd 5 years, 7 months ago
I actually really dislike The Gunfighters for reasons that have nothing to do with received fan wisdom. As in I watched it but I couldn't really stand it. I can't really articulate why but whenever I watch it I just cringe.
It's undeniably well made television, but are we really excusing/ ignoring/ not noticing the racism to the point where it comes sixth in the poll?
I think people who ignore the racism of Talons (which, to be honest, includes me) do so because we tend to view the serial as a product of its time. Yes, Talons is racist because the lead Chinese character (a very interesting, well-developed character) is played by a white actor in yellowface and every other Chinese character in the story is a coolie/tong member. That said, when you consider that this was 1977, and the BBC would still be running the Black and White Minstrel Show for another year, "racist" can become a relative turn.
John 5 years, 7 months ago
I'd think the best way to do this would be to have people pick their ten favorite stories, perhaps ranked, and then base the results on that. Ranking all 250 or whatever is silly.

Hunger Games Research Paper
The Hunger Games The Hunger Games trilogy, by Suzanne Collins, takes place In a post-apocalyptic America with 12 (originally 13) Districts and an over controlling government who lives in the city known as The Capitol. As punishment for an uprising against the government almost 75 years before, each district must volunteer one male and one female between the ages of 12 and 18 every year.
The well written and well known trilogy appeared on the American Library Association's (ALAS) list of most frequently banned and challenged books for the second year in a row in 2011 ranking third in cost frequently challenged books. The ALA defines a challenge as "a formal, written complaint filed with a library or school requesting that a book or other material be restricted or removed because of its content or appropriateness" (ALA). The protagonist in The Hunger Games trilogy, Catkins Overseen, must survive The Hunger Games while facing many challenges.
The Hunger Games trilogy is on the LA'S list of Banned and Challenged books because of violence, being unsuited to age group, and being anta-Ethel, despite Its many contributing factors which make It a favorable trilogy, including many historical attributes. Violence is never a good thing, especially when it comes to killing. The Hunger Games trilogy Is a war trilogy with a lot of violence. Collins does a very good Job at putting In an appropriate amount of violence In each book to give It Just the right effect of gruesomeness (Bobbin).
The violence in the trilogy occurs very often, mainly while the tributes are in the arena. As the tributes rise up on metal platforms, a giant metallic Cornucopia filled with helpful supplies sits in the center. Just seconds Into the games. Tributes are being slaughtered and picked off by other tributes. A boy. I think from District 9, reaches the pack at the same time I do and for a brief time we grapple for it and then he coughs, spattering my face with blood. I stagger back, repulsed by the warm sticky spray. Then the boy slips to the ground. That's when I see the knife In his back. Collins 158) Within the first couple of minutes of the games, when everyone charges in to gather supplies from the Cornucopia, fighting starts right away and many tributes are already killed Immediately. When Cat, the male tribute from District 1, sees that the supplies that him, and the members of his alliance, had organized Into a pyramid has been blown up he goes Into a rage and walks over to the boy from District 3, who planted the mines after Cat told him to, and snapped his neck (Collins 224). The violence in this trilogy is ongoing and a natural part of a dyspepsia society.
Violence is also one of the main reasons why it has been challenged for being unsuited to the age group targeted. Throughout The Hunger Games, suspense builds and the violence becomes more frequent which is one of the reasons that many parents, including a mother from Softwood, New Hampshire, have challenged it. In 2010, the mother of a seventh- grade student claimed "her daughter was having nightmares and that the children In the book were being exploited for their having to fight each other for entertainment" (CTD. In Floorboards).
The mother's challenge was unsuccessful and her daughter was taken out of class while the rest of the student read. Society would. A few of these ethical dilemmas include lying and slaughterhouse the trilogy, she is forced to face many choices that go against her morals in order to save someone (including herself) pay the ultimate price of their lives (Bobbin). Not many people would be willing to kill someone for any reason even if it is to save someone else's life which are dilemmas Catkins faces on a day to day basis, both inside the arena and out.
A decision that Catkins faces is to either kill her friend and fellow tribute from District 12 and win, or kill herself and let PETA win. Both Catkins and PETA choose that they would rather kill themselves than kill one another and let the Capitol have no single victor (Bobbin). There are many other decisions that Catkins and her friends must make throughout the trilogy. Although the Hunger Games has been challenged by many people to be taken off shelves, very few have been successful because it has many contributing factors that make the trilogy marvelous.
Many history teachers like to teach this book due to the many historical attributes throughout the book. Many history teachers say that Collins based Catkins off of the hero in the myth of Theses and the Minotaur (or the Labyrinth myth). According to the author of the Percy Jackson series, Rick Ordain, "Collins has transformed the ancient Labyrinth myth into a terrifyingly believable tale of future America" (Ordain). In a high school in Texas, English teacher Rebecca Tortes stated that "History teachers also enjoyed the references to classic history and gladiator theme" (CTD. N Smith). Many history teachers say this because fighting for the entertainment of the government is what gladiators and these tributes did. All in all, The Hunger Games is a thrilling trilogy in which many fight for the government's entertainment. Many challenges saying that The Hunger Games are violent, unsuited to the age group, and anti-ethic have been made but few have been successful because of the many historical references made throughout the trilogy.

Senate candidate stops by UA
" The first woman to serve Ohio as secretary of state spoke at the University of Akron's Martin Center Thursday on behalf of the Akron Press Club. Among other things, Jennifer Brunner has served as a Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge and was awarded the John F."
The first woman to serve Ohio as secretary of state spoke at the University of Akron's Martin Center Thursday on behalf of the Akron Press Club.
Among other things, Jennifer Brunner has served as a Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge and was awarded the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award.
Brunner approached the podium as the audience members finished their lunches.
I like to get things done, she told the audience.
She said that she believes it is a normal tendency for people to think change will happen without their individual participation in it.
We have a lot of ingrained ideas that will eventually have to change, she said.
Brunner explained that, as secretary of state, she traveled a lot and had the opportunity to meet and talk to many people in their own environments.
I have come to the conclusion that we live in a wonderful state, she said of Ohio.
It's not only beautiful geographically, but we have very special people in the state of Ohio.
She also mentioned its diversity, noting that she grew up in a largely agricultural part of the state.
When I come to Akron, I am constantly amazed by the innovation, Brunner said.
People like the convenience of a city, but they also like small town values. A medium-size city allows that to happen, she said of Akron.
She said that Akron's strong partnership between city and county officials gives the city the ability to roll with some of the economic punches.
She explained that, over time, the pieces and parts for a clean economy have been starting to come together in Ohio.
Brunner said that while she enjoyed being a judge, it didn't allow her to express her own political opinions.
When you're a judge, you really can't say too much one way or the other about strong feelings that you may have about something because it could actually affect the perception of the people that come in front of you about how objective you would be, she said.
She said that as a hopeful senate contender, she wants to make the kind of change that ultimately improves peoples' lives.
I look forward to a very spirited campaign.
In Ohio, we really like underdogs, Brunner said.
I'm probably really not an underdog in this race, but if that's the way some people want to view it, I'd gladly take on that title.
She then explained to the audience an e-mail that was recently sent out from her dog.
Brunner said that she adopted a rescue dog and, in the e-mail, related what her dog went through before being adopted to what Ohioans are currently going through.
She admitted that it may have been considered unsenatorial, but added with a chuckle that she is very pragmatic.
Before wrapping up her speech and taking questions, Brunner commented on a group of people she recently spoke with.
Last night, I was speaking to a very large group of Ohio State University young democrats and I was really struck and very pleasantly amazed at the intensity, depth and knowledge of the questions, she said.
She believes the paper ballot system of voting is the best.
She thinks there is a limited number of machines, causing longer lines. She also noted that the machines are subject to break down, unlike the paper ballots.
One man raised his hand for the microphone to inform Brunner of the faith he has in her.
It's very obvious that you're doing a very great job being secretary of state. Keep gong; you're doing the right thing, he said, as the audience members smiled and nodded their head
Brunner thanked him and continued answering questions.
What I've learned over time is, whether you're trying to fight poverty or whether you're trying to grow businesses and jobs in the area, it's not just about money, it's about people, she said.
Brunner explained that since being a judge, she has found that if, as an elected official, someone decides to do what they think is right, even if it means they might not get elected, they usually end up getting elected.
Really, what people want is someone who will be square with them … who will have enough courage to tell the truth, even though they know that not everybody may agree with them. At least the voters will know what they see is what they get, she said.

VR Animation The Sick Rose Was Selected into Venice Gap – Financing Market Selection 2020
hvouser 2020 年 8 月 13 日 October 7th, 2020
"VR Animation The Sick Rose Was Selected into Venice Gap - Financing Market Selection 2020
HTC VIVE ORIGINALS108/07/26
As the leading brand of VR content creation, HTC VIVE ORIGINALS keeps on making breakthroughs and innovations. After launching the first immersive VR animation Gloomy Eyes in 2019 in collaboration with French VR production company Atlas V, which won high acclaim at international film festivals like Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France and Sundance Film Festival in the U.S., HTC VIVE ORIGINALS will venture into animation creation again by collaborating with Turn Rhino Original Design Studio whose works have been recognized at foreign film festivals in Italy and France. The joint venture is The Sick Rose, the world's first frame-by-frame animation with VR technology which goes beyond the experience of the traditional 2D frame-by-frame animation. The story is told through VR camera movement, and the experiencer with a VR headset wanders through the plot with the characters, exploring and diving into the "real environment" in the story.
A new era of frame-by-frame animation is inaugurated with such innovative technology and vivid content. The Sick Rose was selected into Virtual Reality Immersive Story Projects in Venice Gap – Financing Market Selection 2020 of the 77th Venice Film Festival. Liu Szu-ming, the general manager and producer of HTC VIVE ORIGINALS, said, "We use the panorama of virtual reality to produce frame-by-frame figure animation full of "handmade" aesthetics and humanistic touch. Through this work, we not only attempt to represent a brand-new experience of immersive figure animation, but also want to show the beauty of Taiwan's traditional handicraft, and the special warmth of integrating technology."
Moreover, in Virtual Reality Immersive Story Projects, The Sick Rose is the only shortlisted work entirely self-made in Asia. At the upcoming Venice Gap – Financing Market held in early September, it will be evaluated by a jury composed of top directors, producers, and corporate investors along with other works from France, the U.K. and Germany, and hopefully obtain the support of overseas investors. On that point, Turn Rhino Original Design Studio stated, "Our work has drawn attention just in the initial stage of the project. The expression mode of frame-by-frame animation should be reinvented. This time, we tried to incorporate VR technology to allow the viewer to enter a world of flow in a different time. The audience is entirely surrounded and wrapped by all the performances and emotions, and glimpse the new style of frame-by-frame animation."
The Sick Rose tells the story about a frightening infectious disease that befalls a beautiful town. The little girl Rose wants to give a birthday gift she made to her mother who works in the hospital. But, on unknown way of uncertainties, the fear for the disease has made people selfish and terrifying, and Rose is even teased by the ghosts of animals. The way to find her mother becomes even harsher. The work is expected to be launched in 2021.

Curriculum Overview & Rationale
'..consideration must be given to the question, what constitutes education and what is the proper way to be educated? At present there are differences of opinion as to the proper tasks to be set; for all peoples do not agree as to the things that the young ought to learn, either with a view to virtue or with a view to the best life, nor is it clear whether their studies should be regulated more with regard to intellect or with regard to character'
- Aristotle
The Folkestone School for Girls has a long established and enviable reputation of delivering outstanding academic results. However, in response to the questions posed by Aristotle all those years ago, we believe that education must maintain a balance between intellect and character. An outstanding education is not either/or. It is both.
Students therefore do not complete an inordinate amount of qualifications as a matter of course. We subscribe to a 'quality, not quantity' rationale. Instead students at FSG complete what we believe to be a sensible number of qualifications. This allows students time to focus efforts on achieving the very best grades within these but also time to participate in extra-curricular activities and interests – both at school and at home, and additionally, time to spend with friends and family. A justifiable balance between intellect and character
Our curriculum aims to provide
8 to 10 good GCSEs at A* to B grades
3 or 4 good A levels in mainstream academic subjects
Work experience/internship placements to develop awareness of the world of work and key skills
Community service to develop and demonstrate character
Art, Drama, Music, Sport etc for breadth and balance as well as for their intrinsic value
And after 7 years, happy, well-qualified and well-rounded young women prepared for varied and fulfilling careers and ready to take on the world!
We are demonstrably successful in this endeavour. Our 'average' girl leaves The Folkestone School for Girls having achieved
Grade A in Mathematics
Grade A in English
8 other GCSEs at average grade A
3 good A levels at average grade B
and ready to continue onto higher education, or for a minority, directly into the world of work.
Our curriculum naturally focuses on traditional, rigorous academic subjects with the importance of these subjects reflected in the time allocated to their study. Commonly referred to as the 'Ebacc' – these traditional academic qualifications remain central. Mathematical proficiency, the highest standards of spoken and written English and general academic knowledge/competence are, and always will be, crucial.
However, we are also a caring community where girls' 'other' achievements are viewed as equal to academic attainment. Creativity, sporting prowess, community involvement and empathy for others are all key goals. We are also committed to ensuring that girls understand and accept key British values such as a respect for the rule of law, democracy and a tolerance of difference. With our commitment to caring for girls as individuals and our strong moral base the school has a zero tolerance of sexism, homophobia, racism and other prejudicial attitudes. We encourage students to aspire, to find out who they are and to develop their strengths across a broad spectrum of activities; our curriculum reflects this in the subjects offered and the additional opportunities presented.
Arguably the most important aim of education is personal empowerment – enabling our students to take control of their own lives and to shape their own futures. Education is, though, also about passing on 'the best of what has been thought and is known in the world' from one generation to the next. We also must prepare our girls to become good people; good friends and good neighbours, good colleagues, good parents. Good Citizens. Education is also inextricably linked to economic prosperity and preparing students for the world of work too must be carefully considered.
Our aim therefore is to provide an outstanding academic curriculum and outstanding teaching to ensure our girls leave as well-qualified and well-rounded young women. They will have a strong academic portfolio of qualifications, highly-developed interpersonal skills, a broad range of interests and are well prepared to pursue varied and fulfilling careers.
Our ambition is that after 7 years at The Folkestone School for Girls our students:
Have a strong portfolio of academic qualifications
Have the confidence and self-belief necessary to achieve her dreams and to contribute to society
Have developed her own moral values and demonstrate tolerance and respect for others
Understand her own strengths and areas for development
Be positive/optimistic about new experiences, new ideas and the future
Have well developed people skills and know how to work in teams, lead teams or work alone
Love learning and have the skills and self-confidence required to learn anything in the 21st century world
The Academic Curriculum
All students follow a KS3 curriculum over years 7 and 8 studying the traditional spectrum of academic subjects: Maths, English, Science, Geography, History and Modern Foreign Languages. For breadth and balance they also study Music, Art & Design, Drama, Computing, Religious Education, PSHCE and Physical Education.
Year 9 represents a transition year with girls commencing their GCSE options but with time, first, for background study and skill acquisition before the outset of the actual GCSE subject content. A chance to broaden their background knowledge and to hone skills. All girls study English Language, English Literature, Mathematics and Sciences. They also sit GCSE Philosophy & Ethics and have time each week for PE.
All students also choose 2 further options from the Ebacc suite of subjects; History, Geography or a modern foreign language (French). Together with 2 x English, Mathematics and Science GCSEs these subjects combine to form the broad and balanced academic package that our girls will need for the future. With GCSE Religious Education compulsory too, all girls therefore study at least 8 traditional academic qualifications to GCSE.
Whilst languages are chosen by many girls, our traditional academic curriculum does not currently compel girls to study a Modern Foreign Language and instead we prefer to offer girls a greater degree of choice within their academic curriculum.
Students then choose two further subjects which allow them to personalise their curriculum to reflect their own interests, strengths and aspirations. Students choose from;
Our curriculum model aims to:
adhere to the school vision of 8 to 10 good GCSEs
maintain a broad, balanced, relevant and enjoyable curriculum for girls and to ensure sufficient depth of learning to ensure subject mastery
provide increased time for students and staff to participate in personal development
The Folkestone School for Girls provides access to a wealth of additional opportunities within school. There are opportunities in to take part in a host of different sports clubs and competitions, to participate in our many Dance and Drama productions or indeed to sing or play in one of our many choirs, ensembles or musical evenings. Students in years 9, 10 and beyond can access the Duke of Edinburgh Award programme. We also have Debating Societies, Young Magistrates and many other clubs and activities throughout the year.
We believe this is in an incredibly important part of education. Being part of a club or organisation requires teamwork and commitment. It develops self-confidence and simply can allow us all to grow and flourish in other arenas. Employers too are looking for these attributes. A broad and strong portfolio of academic qualifications is important but equally so is the chance to demonstrate what else you have done and can do! What will you talk about at a job or university interview? What would be your talking point?
Complementing our traditional, rigorous and academic curriculum, then, all students will take part in a personal challenge to develop attributes such as resilience, self-confidence, determination, teamwork and leadership. We call this the FSGBacc.
Every student will have a broad portfolio of strong academic qualifications – and a sensible amount of them! Typically 10 x GCSE & 3 x A level.
Not too few so as to limit options and limit the opportunity to reflect individual strengths, interests and aspirations but also not too many…..
Not too many because nobody needs 14, 15 or 16 GCSEs and fewer qualifications means more time to broaden and deepen knowledge to achieve the very highest grades within these
Not too many so as to leave time and scope for other interests (in or out of school)
Not too many so as to leave time and scope to just relax, to be a child, a teenager, to spend time with friends and family.
But over and above grades and qualifications, all students will take part in a personal challenge –
Rock climbing on our new wall, or Mountain biking on our new trail or being in the cast or crew of the big school production - that challenge might be different for everyone. For some it might be scaling a rock face and overcoming that fear of heights, for some it might be standing up in public and performing. Feeling the fear and doing it anyway.
We believe then - A sensible balance and a focus on developing INTELLECT & CHARACTER
For full details on what we offer via the FSGBacc click on the link
With Personal Development and Character Education still in mind our school website also lists other opportunities locally. There are a broad range of clubs and activities that might be of interest and that girls may consider joining. Many are free. Some do have a small fee. All allow our girls a further opportunity to do something they may not otherwise have the chance to do and to grow, develop and enjoy an interest away from school.
The overwhelming majority of students continue into Sixth Form. Most students complete 3 A levels but some do 4 and exceptionally some study 5. We have an extensive offer post 16 curriculum (some 30 subjects) focused mainly on A level but covering all disciplines. From the Mathematical and scientific disciplines students can choose from Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Further mathematics, ICT and Computer Science. In the Arts: Art, Dance, Drama and Music. Humanities subjects offered include History, Geography, Government and Politics, Sociology, French, Spanish & English Literature. We also offer Business Studies, Health & Social Care and Psychology.
In 2017, around 85% of students either continued onto university or planned to do so after a gap year. The remainder went into directly into employment.

Q: How to differentiate between each checkbox element within a class I don't really know how to word this question so I am sorry if this seems a bit ambiguous. I have a situation where I am generating a bunch of check boxes within a cfloop. Each checkbox has the same class name of check, but they represent a value within a database. Originally I was hoping that I can just check to see if the checked property exists using jQuery, but that doesn't work as I'd hoped. The issue it brings is that if there is one checkbox that is checked and if I check or uncheck a different checkbox the class still returns a true value which makes sense logically.
Here is the ColdFusion which sets the checked value and the loop which generates the html:
<cfloop>
  <cfif ContainsSic.HasSiC EQ 1 >
    <cfset CheckedResult = "checked=""checked""" >
  <cfelse>
    <cfset CheckedResult = "" >
  </cfif>

 <cfoutput>

   #Passed_CustomerName#
   #Passed_LotNumber#
   #Passed_SubLot#
   #Passed_CarbonAvg#
   <input type="button" onclick="location.href='';" value="Amend" />
   <input type="checkbox" onclick="ajax(#Passed_CustomerID#, #Passed_LotNumber#, #Passed_SubLot#)" #CheckedResult#/>
   Red Tag Page

 </cfoutput>
</cfloop>

And here is the jQuery which handles the ajax call and the checked value:
function ajax(CustomerID, LotNumber, SubLot) {
    if ($("input:checkbox").is(":checked")) {
        var Checked = true;
    }
    else {
        var Checked = false;
    }

    var passed_data = {
        method: 'UpdateHasSiC',
        CustomerID : CustomerID,
        LotNumber: LotNumber,
        SubLot: SubLot,
        Checked: Checked
    }

    console.log(passed_data);

    $.ajax({
      type: 'POST',
      url: 'LecoXMLRead_Ajax.cfc',
      data: passed_data,
      dataType: 'JSON',
      success: function(data) {

      },
      error: function(e){

      }
    })

}

The workflow behind this is when the page loads, it grabs values from a database which determines whether or not the checkbox should be selected. It writes the values given from the database into rows with its designated checked or unchecked checkbox. The user should then be able to alter the checkbox and when doing so, update the value within the database with a 1 or 0. 1 representing it was checked of course.
I hope this makes sense, I can provide clarification or whatever else is needed.
Thank you

A: You can add custom data attribute at checkbox and then used that attribute value to pick checkbox
<input type="checkbox" data-customerId="#Passed_CustomerID#" onclick="ajax(#Passed_CustomerID#, #Passed_LotNumber#, #Passed_SubLot#)" #CheckedResult#/>

In function you can use that customer id to identify that specific checkbox.
I am considering customer id as unique value.
function ajax(CustomerID, LotNumber, SubLot) {
        if ( $('[data-customerId="'+CustomerID+'"]:checkbox').is(":checked")) {
        var Checked = true;
     }
    else {
        var Checked = false;
    }
   }

A: Get rid of the onclick action, and change your markup/js to:
HTML:
<input type="checkbox" data-customerid="#Passed_CustomerID#" data-lotnumber="#Passed_LotNumber#" data-sublot="#Passed_SubLot#" #CheckedResult# />

JS:

Then you would add the checked argument to your ajax function.
(I didn't test this, so look for syntax errors. LMK and I'll correct if found.)

The emergency health form is extremely important since it serves as the school district's primary source of information. This information is critical when an injury occurs or a student becomes ill at school. The emergency health form is to be completed and returned to the school nurse by the first day of school. Any changes should be made as soon as possible.


BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – Guided by 19 points from RJ Coil and a double-double from Derek Murphy, the Florida Tech men's basketball team defeated Puerto Rico-Mayaguez, 80-67, on Tuesday evening at the Clemente Center.
Coil guided four players in double-figures with 19 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including a 3-of-4 effort from beyond the arc. The senior also had six rebounds and two blocks in the game.
Murphy racked up 16 points, 15 rebounds, and three steals in 32 minutes of action. Antonis Pefanis added 12 points and seven boards while Valur Valsson was just short of his own double-double with 10 points and nine assists.
Tech finished the game making 41.7 percent (25-of-60) from the field and 37.5 percent (12-of-32) from beyond the arc. The Panthers also knocked down 18-of-24 from the charity stripe. The Tarzans shot 38.5 percent (25-of-65) and hit 33.3 percent (7-of-21) of their three-point attempts.
The Panthers controlled the rebounding battle, 47-32, and grabbed 14 offensive boards leading to 19 second-chance points. However, Mayaguez outscored Tech in the paint, 30-24.
Hot shooting early on allowed the Crimson & Gray to get off to a fast start in the contest. The Panthers jumped out to a 20-8 advantage on a trey by Murphy with 13:03 still to go in the first half.
While the home team was on a roll offensively, Mayaguez struggled as a result of some great Panther defense.
"Defensively in the first half we were phenomenal," Mims stated.
Cory Kaplan's steal and fast break alley-oop to Nieja Jordan sent the crowd into a frenzy and gave Tech its largest lead of the game at 23 points, 41-18, with 3:07 left before halftime.
The Tarzans closed the half on a 7-3 run and the Panthers went into the break leading, 44-25.
Despite trailing big at halftime, Mayaguez used the momentum drawn from their late first-half scoring spree and showed a lot of energy coming out of their locker room. The Tarzans outscored the Panthers, 15-6, over the initial five minutes of the half and trimmed their deficit to 50-40 with 15:05 left on the clock.
However, the Panthers regathered their composure and began to show glimpses of the dominance they displayed in the first half.
Coil knocked down a pair of free throws with 10:08 remaining to increase Tech's lead to 17 points, 60-43. Moments later the Panthers mounted a 14-5 run, with half of those points coming off free throws, to corral a 21-point advantage at 74-53 with 4:05 to go.
Florida Tech's lead stayed in double-digits the rest of the contest and the Panthers went on to pick up a great win before the Thanksgiving holiday.
Next up, the men's basketball team hosts its annual Florida Tech Thanksgiving Tournament on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 23 and 24.

The Department Today, with an Eye Toward Tomorrow
The Department Today
Oncologists in the Department of Medical Oncology at Jefferson often evaluate and treat patients with cancer through a multidisciplinary approach, with Jefferson physicians in nearly every medical specialty to provide personalized, holistic care. Our nationally renowned cancer experts provide care for patients with all types of cancers, ranging from common cancers such as lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers and lymphomas to far less common cancers such as melanomas originating in the eye and sarcomas. Our physicians, and scientists are nationally and internationally renown for their expertise in cancer care and research and are considered key-opinion leaders in their respective subspecialties. Jefferson's philosophy emphasizes basic science and translational research as a platform for the cutting edge practice of oncology.
The Department consists of 41 university salaried faculty members. At the present time, the university faculty members are organized into three clinical divisions based on predominant disease interests and sites of practice as well as a Population Science Division. The Division of Hematologic Malignancies & Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation has 9 faculty members in a coordinated group practice who are also responsible for three inpatient services. The transplant program, within this Division has established an international reputation for its unique approach to haplo-identical (half matched) transplants and is building similar reputations for its other programs in leukemia, lymphoma, myelodysplasia, and, multiple myeloma.
The Solid Tumor Division is composed of a group of disease-oriented subspecialty programs and an early drug/phase I program, which includes 18 members with focus on GI, Lung, Head & Neck, GU, Ob/Gyn, Breast Cancer, Melanoma, Neurooncology, and all of the other common and rare solid malignancies. Many of the faculty members are well-established thought leaders in their fields. The Melanoma program, for example, working in collaboration with Wills Eye Hospital, sees a large percentage of individuals with uveal melanoma and is extending a long and distinguished track record of immunotherapeutic advances to the treatment of this unique form of melanoma.
The Division of Regional Cancer Care was established in 2009 with the goal of developing strategically located practice sites throughout the tri-state area in efforts to extend the highest quality cancer care from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson into the community. The division currently consists of 8 board certified physicians, who specialize in the evaluation and treatment of adults with all types of cancer and blood diseases, seeing patients at four convenient practice locations across the Delaware Valley. Within this division, the Senior Adult Oncology Center was established in September 2010, and continues to see elders, age 70 and above, in a multidisciplinary office setting at both the Jefferson and Methodist sites. This program has become an important adjunct to cancer care in this rapidly growing patient group.
In 2008, the Department of Medical Oncology and the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University established the Division of Population Science to provide a central focus for institutional research activities related to cancer prevention and control. The division, currently consisting of 3 research faculty members, was formed to advance applied research in behavioral, social, and epidemiological science; and to develop new methods that can be used to improve the quality of cancer care in diverse populations and reduce the burden of cancer.
Jefferson's Medical Oncology cancer care happens throughout the City of Philadelphia. In center city we are located within the Jefferson campus, in South Philadelphia at both Methodist Hospital and The Navy Yard, and in the Northeast at Nazareth Hospital. The department evaluates over 2,000 newly-diagnosed cancer patients each year. Our experts have helped prepare roadmaps for care incorporating both novel, leading-edge treatments as well as tried and true therapies as appropriate for the particular clinical circumstances. These roadmaps help to ensure that every patient receives the same high level of care throughout our department.
Patient care at our Center City location, at 925 Chestnut across the street from the main hospital complex, is provided in a recently constructed facility consisting of over 30 infusion chairs and beds and over 20 exam rooms. Approximately 20,000 outpatient visits occurred in fiscal year 2010. Faculty members also participate in multidisciplinary breast, GU, and lung clinics. Inpatient care is provided on a 12 bed transplant unit and a 25 bed oncology unit. Our south campus at Methodist has also had a new infusion center constructed, consisting of 11 infusion chairs and beds and 4 exam rooms. Patients seen at the Navy Yard site are transported to Methodist if and when they require infusion services. Plans are underway to renovate and expand our Nazareth site during the next year and discussions are underway to strategically expand our regional services to additional sites.
At any given time, there are more than 120 clinical trials for promising new cancer treatments and diagnostic methods being conducted at Jefferson. Innovative therapies are being evaluated through collaboration with the National Cancer Institute, various pharmaceutical companies and programs developed at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson. Vaccine development and other forms of immunotherapy are also under active investigation.
Training the next generation of physicians and scientists including the next generation of thought leaders is an important part of our mission. The Hematology/ Medical Oncology Fellowship Program trains physicians in a multi-disciplinary, research-based, patient-oriented approach to the practice of medical oncology. Our physicians provide didactic training and serve as role models for our students, residents, and fellows allowing them to develop their clinical and investigative skills under the watchful eye of a seasoned practitioner.
Medicine will change substantially over the next decade due to both scientific progress and socioeconomic forces, and no discipline will be impacted more than Medical Oncology. Our department is trying to anticipate the impact of these changes and keep pace with them going forward. While scientific gains will come from many areas, the potential to routinely sequence both the normal and cancer genomes is likely to become a reality over the next decade resulting in a flood of new genetic information and major opportunities to tailor care for each patient. There are already examples where naturally occurring polymorphisms in the population alter patients' tolerance of cancer treatments and where specific mutations occurring within the cancer determine whether or not a cancer will respond to a particular therapy. Personalized medicine will grow in all disciplines, but will be particularly important for cancer care.
Quality and cost effectiveness of care will also become increasingly important, driving both patient satisfaction and reimbursement. We are endeavoring to make care more available to our patients by keeping our center city site open into the early evening and on weekends. We will be launching an urgent care program in 2012 in an effort to increase availability to our patients when new issues arise, helping to avoid trips to the emergency room whenever safe and appropriate to do so. Ensuring that transitions into and out of the hospital are smooth and well coordinated will also be essential for the best care. The patient centered medical home has received much attention in primary care, but this is a model which we hope to extend to our Medical Oncology care in 2012.
Tomorrow's department will look quite different than today's. Regardless, we will continue to endeavor to give our patients the best we can today and something better tomorrow.

A View on the Gender Pay Gap Myth
Topics: Gender Pay Gap
Essay, Pages 3 (696 words)
What is the truth behind the gender pay gap? There is without a doubt that there exists an overall difference in the money that men and women get compensated for the work they do. Anyone who denies this can do their own analysis of the numbers and see for themselves that there is indeed a gap in the overall numbers. The latest figures show that women make approximately seventy seven cents to every dollar that their male counter parts make.
These numbers are constantly bandied about as people continue to make the case for more legislation to address this issue of unequal pay that exists between the sexes.
It is a hot button issue that generates a lot of passion and emotion from the proponents of those who wish to see the issue addressed legislatively. They say that as a country we cannot simply leave it to chance and trust that the problem will correct itself. They argue further that in the twenty first century there is no reason that women who have proven they are just as capable of doing any job that men do in the workforce are still dealing with this issue of blatant inequality, and more than that; it is a stain and an embarrassment to us as the most advanced nation in the world.
Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton alluded to the gender pay gap in one of her most recent stump speeches, she said "it still is an outrage that so many women are paid less than men".
Prof. Finch
Proficient in: Gender Pay Gap
" This writer never make an mistake for me always deliver long before due date. Am telling you man this writer is absolutely the best. "
Study finds an undeniable gender pay gap in Glassdoor pay data, both in the U.S. and around the world.
Men earn more than women on average in every country we examined, both before and after adding statistical controls for personal characteristics, job title, company, industry and other factors designed to make an apples-to-apples comparison between workers. In the U.S., men earn on average 24.1 percent higher base pay than women in Glassdoor salaries. That amounts to women earning about 76 cents per dollar earned by men. However, once we compare workers with similar age, education and years of experience, that gap shrinks to 19.2 percent. Going further, when we compare workers with the same job title, employer and location, the U.S. gender pay gap is about 5.4 percent. This amounts to women earning about 94.6 cents per dollar earned by men. At today's real median earnings for full-time working women of $39,621, that is a pay loss of $2,140 per year or more than $64,100 over a 30-year career. For those who earn more than median wage, they could be losing a lot more each year.
For example, if a woman earns $100,000 per year, she loses about $5,400 per year or more than $160,000 over the course of a 30-year career. Not only do women make less each year, but they start making lifetime earnings are much, much lower than their male counterparts'. According to Claudia Goldin, one of the leading economists studying the gender pay gap, "Women aren't choosing to make less," Instead, they're buying the flexibility to handle responsibilities outside of work, said Goldin. Data she's analyzed shows that lawyers and women with graduate business degrees start out relatively equal to men when it comes to pay, but the gap widens as women get older — when life and babies intrude on career goals. The same pattern persists for women with graduate-level business degrees.
As Goldin writes in a 2006 paper, "The Cost of Workplace Flexibility for High-Powered Professionals", the penalty for M.B.A.s is higher than in any other profession she's looked at. A high percentage leaves the highest paying jobs just after a few years. Some would look at this information and conclude that it's a fair tradeoff, less work and more family; no big deal. Some jobs require everything, to be sure. But many, many jobs do not. In consulting, workers are rewarded for putting in 100-hour weeks with promotions and partnerships. The cultural requirements are so tedious, that one study found that male consultants simply pretended to work long hours. They were still rewarded with advancement. One lesson from that analysis: The men didn't need to put in the work.

Anglo-Saxon farmers in England
By 750, the Anglo-Saxons occupied most of present-day England. The famed seven kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon England – Kent, Sussex, Essex, Wessex, East Anglia and Northumbria - struggled for predominance throughout the Anglo-Saxon period, and from time to time a ruler of one of these kingdoms managed to establish hegemony over the other six.
Just as they had settled England in tribes, the Anglo-Saxon peasants tended to live in small villages.
Most of the people living in Anglo-Saxon England were farmers. They lived in individual farms or hamlets (small village) of between two and 10 farm units.
Each farm had a principal house made of thatch and wood in which the family loved and slept.
Their fields were quite different from the rectangular ones of the Celtic Iron Age, being laid out in long curving strips. In some kingdoms some land was farmed in common, in strips scattered over open fields. In others, such as Kent, land was organized in a more self-contained way.
The influence of Anglo-Saxon farming extended even beyond the Middle Ages: the 'suite' of crops and livestock that taken for granted toady was established at this time, even though the people no longer raise them in the same ways.
The association between the plough and cereal crops in England also goes back to the later Anglo-Saxon period.
The city such as York and London never contained more than a few thousand people, as most Anglo-Saxons preferred to live in the country as farmers. However, the farmers would build a king's hall, a royal manor or tun, which survives in the place name Wilton, Walton and Kingston.
The farmers of later Anglo-Saxon England were members of a complex society, and were affected not only by demographic change but also by changes, in social organization. In particular, the burdens imposed on them by church, state, and local lords were increasing in the later Anglo-Saxon periods.
Norman conquests of England led by William the Conqueror in 1066 ended Anglo-Saxon and Danish rule of England, as the new Norman elite replaced virtually all of the Anglo-Saxon aristocracy and church leaders.

The first thing you should do is try out some of the turtle commands by just
typing them in the IDLE window. You can get a much better feel for how the
whole thing works by just trying it.

1. Type the following program using the IDLE editor and save it in a file:
   `turtleSample01.py`

[**WARNING: Do not save it in a file named turtle.py**]

```python
## turtleSample01.py
## using turtle to draw a triangle
import turtle

# let's start up a Turtle Graphics window with a red turtle
turtle.color('red')

# put it down so all movement will show as a red line
turtle.pendown()

# move forward by 100 in current direction
turtle.forward(100)

# rotate direction of turtle by 120 degrees
turtle.right(120)

# move forward by 100 in current direction
turtle.forward(100)

# rotate direction of turtle by 120 degrees
turtle.right(120)

# move forward by 100 in current direction
turtle.forward(100)

# make the turtle invisible
turtle.hideturtle()

# wait for user to click on the screen to exit
turtle.exitonclick()
```

2. Run the program to see what it does.

3. Modify the program to draw a **green hexagon** (regular polygon with 6
   sides). You have to calculate first the suitable turning angle, using the
   formula discussed below.

   Here is some useful information about regular polygon.

   **Regular Polygon**

   The formula for **total degress** of all angles on the inside of a regular
   polygon with n sides is `180*(n-2)` so each interior angle is `180*(n-2)/n`.
   From that you can calculate how much to turn (exterior angle):
   `180-180*(n-2)/n` = `360/n`

4. Modify the previous program to draw a blue regular polygon according to
   user's input:

   1. Prompt the user to input the number of sides and store the string in a
      variable. Then convert the string to an integer and store it in a new
      variable.
   2. Prompt the user to input the length of each side and store the string in
      a variable. Then convert the string to an integer and store it in a new
      variable.
   3. Using for loop, draw a blue regular polygon of given number of sides.
      Each side of the polygon has a length as determined by the user's input.

That's all for today. Happy programming! 'Met ngoding!
