"Intelligent Lives" to have National Broadcast Premiere on WORLD Channel
DURHAM, N.H. – The documentary Intelligent Lives takes viewers into the lives of three young people living with an intellectual disability who challenge perceptions of intelligence as they navigate high school, college, and the workforce. The film is directed and produced by award-winning filmmaker Dan Habib of the Institute on Disability at the University of New Hampshire, and narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Chris Cooper.
Intelligent Lives will be broadcast nationally on Tuesday, October 22, at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT/ 9 p.m. PT) on public television's WORLD Channel and WorldChannel.org, in celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
Intelligent Lives tells the stories of three pioneering young American adults with intellectual disabilities – Micah Fialka-Feldman, Naieer Shaheed, and Naomie Monplaisir – who challenge perceptions of intelligence as they navigate high school, college, and the workforce. Academy Award-winning actor and narrator Chris Cooper contextualizes the lives of these central characters through the emotional personal story of his son Jesse, as the film unpacks the shameful and ongoing track record of intelligence testing in the U.S.
As Habib's film demonstrates, while many strides have been made to make American culture more accepting of diversity, people with intellectual disability are perhaps the most marginalized group of Americans. Only 15% of those living with intellectual disability are employed, and a mere 17% are included in regular education classrooms.
Intelligent Lives challenges what it means to be intelligent, and points to a future in which people of all abilities can fully participate in higher education, meaningful employment, and intimate relationships. "This film is a catalyst to transform the label of intellectual disability from a life sentence of isolation into a life of possibility," said filmmaker Dan Habib.
Intelligent Lives is executive produced by Chris Cooper, actress/author Marianne Leone Cooper, and actress Amy Brenneman, and this broadcast is supported by Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation, Agilent Technologies Foundation, and the SAP Corporation. Starting October 23, 2019, the film will stream for one month on worldchannel.org, amdoc.org, and all station-branded PBS platforms including PBS.org, and on PBS apps for iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Chromecast. The film is also available through the IOD Bookstore.
To schedule an interview with Dan Habib and other special requests, journalists and reviewers may contact Kären Clausen at 603.228.2084 x26 or via email at karen.clausen@unh.edu. Director Dan Habib can also be reached at dan.habib@unh.edu. For more information about the film, please visit www.intelligentlives.org.

Restricting access to Australian culture to save a few dollars
Australians have less access to our important cultural institutions thanks to the Gillard Government's Efficiency Dividend.
In Senate Estimates hearings last night, the National Gallery, National Library, National Film and Sound Archive and National Museum each detailed significant cuts in jobs and services they had undertaken in order to meet the 1.5% efficiency dividend.
Fifteen languages on ice at SBS prove the need for new funding
The Australian Greens renewed their call for greater funding of SBS after it was revealed services in fifteen languages had been temporarily suspended by the broadcaster during the summer break.
The Greens communications spokesperson, Senator for Western Australia Scott Ludlam, said the Government needs to substantially increase funding in the 2012-13 budget, and decrease the broadcaster's dependence on declining advertising revenues.

Senator LUDLAM: I have questions on the opening statement. Mr Kenny, on the ICT review that the President mentioned in the opening statement, I would like to ask a couple of quick questions of you or whoever wants to take them.
Mr Kenny : You can, although it may be more appropriately directed to the President.
The PRESIDENT: To me.
A tale of two filters: more than 35 million sites blocked to senators and staff
More than a year on from the defeat of the Government's proposed mandatory net filter, Australia's parliamentarians have instead elected to heavily filter their own web access.
In budget estimates hearings this morning, Australian Greens communications spokesperson Senator Scott Ludlam established that the entire .info top level domain is blocked to Parliament House, knocking out an unknown number of sites including an anti-war blog and sites on energy policy and nuclear disarmament.
Optus court decision "common sense"
Scott Ludlam 8 Feb 2012
The Australian Greens have warned the Government and Coalition to avoid a 'quick fix' stitch-up with the major sporting codes and media companies following the Optus Federal Court decision.
Greens communications spokesperson Senator Scott Ludlam said "The judgement appears to be a common sense reading of the Copyright Act that recognises people should be able to watch content at a time and place of their choosing".
Wikipedia strikes back – where is the Australian Government?
Scott Ludlam 18 Jan 2012
As Wikipedia goes on strike to protest the proposed 'Stop Online Piracy Act' (SOPA) currently before the US Congress, the Greens have called on the Australian Government to take a stand in defence of Australian internet users and protect the viability of the medium.
Australian Greens communications spokesperson Senator Scott Ludlam pointed to the global blackout of online encyclopaedia Wikipedia as an example of the depth of the campaign to prevent the bill from becoming law.
Australia Council review must not be an excuse to defund programs
Christine Milne 20 Dec 2011
The review of the Australia Council for the Arts announced by Minister Simon Crean is an important process that must not be kept secret, and must not be used as an excuse to defund programs, the Australian Greens said today.
"There is very wide agreement in the arts sectors across Australia that a review of the Australia Council is necessary, but the proof will be in the pudding," Australian Greens Deputy Leader, Senator Christine Milne, said.

The Shared Value Project (a regional community driving shared value in Australia) and Social Ventures Australia have released a report detailing the findings from the inaugural 'State of Shared Value in Australia' survey. The survey was targeted at ASX 100 companies and organisations with a demonstrable experience or interest in creating shared value (41 organisations responded to the survey).
According to the report, a shared value strategy is one that creates a benefit for both society and the organisation itself. Of the 41 respondents, 46% indicated they were currently pursuing a shared value strategy.
If shared value is defined as leading to economic and social or environmental outcomes, then many companies who don't have an explicit shared value strategy are in fact delivering strategies that create shared value.
There is no clear pattern between the sector where a company operates and the social issues it chooses to address.
Companies pursuing share value strategies are experiencing social and economic benefits and positive brand association (both internally and with external stakeholders).
Shared value is still very much in its infancy in Australia.

Catch-22: A Comedic Take On the Mechanical Nature of War
Heller's satirical work has up until now been avoided when it comes to adaptations for film and TV but finally, Executive Producer, part-director and portrayer of General Scheisskpof, George Clooney has done the impossible: Catch-22 has come to TV with 6 hilariously entertaining episodes.
The story follows John Yossarian, otherwise known as YoYo whose ability to see through the farce that is the military and attempts to desperately avoid the inevitable tragedy war brings him nothing but frustration. YoYo has to fly 25 required missions, that is until the quota is increased and keeps getting increased, leaving YoYo desperate, begging to go home to the point that it is hilarious to watch as a viewer.
It's a vicious cycle: chill on the beach with a beer, jump into the water, fly another mission, survive, only marginally, count down the mission quota only to get one to have it raised again. Every time he tries to get some sense of independence or control or attempt to get ahead of the game, chaos erupts. And it's called Catch-22.
The eponymous title is explained by the doctor in the show, Daneeka: anyone who has the sense to try and get out of flying missions is by definition sane and must fly. Anyone who wants to shouldn't be flying but they have to ask for exemption and simply put, they won't and if they did, they would be considered sane enough to fly…etc etc. It's a catch…Catch-22.
The show is full of paradoxes and contrasts: one minute there's control the next there's chaos, tranquillity and ocean blue scenes to brutal planes crashing into crew members. Upbeat music that has you smiling as the men endorse themselves in whores to violent scenes and realistic lines that have you thinking oh my. A mixture of comedy with brutality and it's amazing.
Alongside this, the film has the most beautiful scenery. The war scenes amidst the blue of the Italian coastline highlights both the positives and negatives of war: friendships alongside death and violence. The casting of the show is also spectacular. Christopher Abbott as YoYo was the perfect choice. His ability to portray the intense frustration and incapability of being like everyone else who is simply another acet to win the war regardless of life or death is insane. He captivates you and draws you in to the story so that in the next breath, you're right there alongside YoYo as he declares Bombs Away, as he counts down his missions until eventually, episode 6 ends. You realise you've just spent 6 hours watching the same thing and you want more. But what more could there possibly be?
The show portrays the true futility of war, the meaninglessness, the gore. It highlights the impotence of institutions and bureaucracy, rationalising the insanity as if going up there and dropping bombs is normal and the way things are now; you simply have to accept it.
Bravo Clooney, you have attempted the impossible and made it a show worth watching. It's impressively well-made, smart and I would most definitely watch it all over again and again.

The coolest place in Couchwood
Built in 1936, Little Pine Bluff was named after Mr. Couch's home town. From this back porch Mr. Couch oversaw the construction of Remmelwood during his last days. He chose to stay here because it was the coolest place in Couchwood, and often still is. Secluded in trees, it can be a welcomed change of scenery from the lake-front houses. With its 3 bedrooms and large den, it's a great house for entertaining guests.

Accidents still happen in the workplace on a daily basis despite the rigorous controls of safety measures such as 'in house' risk assessments and 'real time' daily safety supervision.
Why accidents still happen – Everyone can make errors no matter how well trained and motivated they are. However in the workplace, the consequences of such human failure can be severe. Analysis of accidents and incidents shows that human failure contributes to almost all accidents and exposures to substances hazardous to health.
Many major accidents e.g. Texas City, Piper Alpha, Chernobyl, were initiated by human failure. In order to avoid accidents and ill-health, companies need to manage human failure as robustly as the technical and engineering measures they use for that purpose.
In 2006, a senior lifeguard at a gym mistakenly added chlorine granules to an acid tank rather than the chlorine tank. The result was a potentially deadly chlorine leak, which led to the evacuation of the whole building and five people being taken to hospital.
Fining the gym £15,000, the judge said the incident was largely due to "an alarming lapse of concentration" on the part of the lifeguard, who was both trained and experienced. The Companies risk assessment had taken into account the possibility of human error: the tanks were colour-coded, the keys were kept securely, and a written procedure required a second person to be present during dosing.
The judge acknowledged the safety document "was of a high standard". But the Company had failed to ensure the policy was put into practice. Staff and management alike bypassed the correct procedure, creating the conditions in which a momentary lapse could lead to a serious incident.
Human error is inevitable – but that doesn't mean it has to lead to injuries.
Human error is thought to be a factor in as many as 90% of workplace accidents, and has contributed to some of the most high-profile safety disasters of recent years, including the Paddington and Southall rail crashes and the capsizing of the Herald of Free Enterprise (6 March 1987).
A total of 193 people were killed when the Herald of Free Enterprise capsized on 6 March 1987 after it set sail from the Belgian port of Zeebrugge with its inner and outer bow doors open. The investigation into the incident uncovered a string of management and system failings leading to the fatal human error with the bow doors.
But even if human failings play a part in most accidents, the individual is usually not the (only) problem; rather it's the systems and culture in which they operate. In the Gym prosecution (above), human error was the trigger cause, but it was management's failure to enforce procedures and monitor staff that created the circumstances in which the accident could happen.
Whatever your take on the argument, so long as it's true that mistakes cannot be eliminated, the health and safety manager's focus must be on error management: designing and enforcing systems that minimise the chance of an employee's oversight or lapse resulting in someone getting hurt.
Before considering the systems and culture employees operate in, it's worth eliminating other contributors to risk such as lack of competence, workload and fatigue.
Some errors are slips or lapses, often "actions that were not as planned" or unintended actions.
Slip: when a straightforward physical action, that is performed regularly, goes wrong: a worker presses button A rather than button B. Slips can be avoided through better design of controls.
Lapse: a failure in concentration: an employee is interrupted during a task and misses out a stage as a result. Such lapses can be avoided by using checklists to tick off tasks, or through careful supervision.
Mistake: a mistake results from a lack of understanding or an error in diagnosis planning, for example when an employee without the right information or experience tries to resolve a problem but actually causes another. Mistakes can be prevented by raising competence levels or using special procedures to resolve issues.
Violation: a deliberate breach of procedures, such as knowingly fitting a wrongly specified part to avoid having to get a replacement. A positive safety culture, where staff follow procedures and learn from incidents, will minimise the chance of workers committing deliberate violations.
When looking at how to reduce the number of human mistakes in a particular work process or area, the most obvious place to start is often training and competence. If you've recently changed a work process or introduced a new piece of machinery and there's been an increase in accidents, could it be that not all employees have been adequately trained?

Q: ListView CustomRoutedEvent to Trigger Animation on row Hi Guys I have a listview bound to an observableCollection, when a new item comes in, it flashes that row.
so Far I have a event trigger in my itemcontainer style..
<Style TargetType="WpfApplication2:CustomListViewItem">
    <Style.Triggers>
        <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="<My Custom Routed Event>">
            <BeginStoryboard>
                <Storyboard >
                    <ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Background).(SolidColorBrush.Color)"
                                    From="Navy"
                                    To="White"
                                    Duration="0:0:0.4"
                                    AutoReverse="True"/>
                </Storyboard>
            </BeginStoryboard>
        </EventTrigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

And also a custom routed event that that I want to fire when a new item is added.
Finding it difficult to understand where I should put this routed event and how to fire it.
Thanks

A: I do not think this belongs into the ItemContainerStyle since the item management is at the higher level of the ListView itself.
One way you can approach this is by using a behavior from the Blend SDK, e.g.:
xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactivity"

<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding DpData}">
    <i:Interaction.Behaviors>
        <b:FlashNewRowBehavior />
    </i:Interaction.Behaviors>
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" />
            <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Occupation}" />
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

class FlashNewRowBehavior : Behavior<ListView>
{
    protected override void OnAttached()
    {
        base.OnAttached();
        AssociatedObject.Loaded += new System.Windows.RoutedEventHandler(AssociatedObject_Loaded);
    }

    void AssociatedObject_Loaded(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)

            var collection = itemsSource as INotifyCollectionChanged;
            collection.CollectionChanged += (s, cce) =>
                {
                    if (cce.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add)
                    {
                        // This code sadly is rather unclean, some wait is necessary or the ItemContainerGenerator will return null
                        Wait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.01));

                        var itemContainer = AssociatedObject.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(cce.NewItems[0]) as ListViewItem;
                        if (itemContainer != null)

                                To = Colors.White,
                                Duration = (Duration)TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.4),

If you are a landlord or property manager, our Landlord Agreement will help you keep utility billing organized. A Landlord Agreement ensures utility services remain active at your rental locations.
The Landlord Agreement states that upon request from the tenant to have electric and/or water and/or sewer service discontinued, future service will be transferred and billed to the account and name listed on the Landlord Agreement until such time that a new tenant applies for service.
Upon discontinuance of electric and/or water and/or sewer service to a tenant for non-payment of the tenant's utility bill, the service will remain off until such time as the delinquent balance is paid in full by the tenant or the indebted tenant vacates the property and you, the landlord, authorize service to be transferred back into your name.
You agree that you will notify the company any time a tenant vacates the property. You will also agree to notify the company if you sell a property that is listed in an agreement so that it can be removed.
Pursuant to this agreement, you will otherwise be responsible for payment of any bill issued for electric and/or water and/or sewer service provided at this property until you have notified the company of any changes.


Animal campaigns charity OneKind has released shocking new footage which shows serious animal welfare concerns on a salmon farm in Scotland.
The footage, shot on Monday 27th August at Vacasay salmon farm in Loch Roag on the Isle of Lewis, was given to OneKind by the film makers and has now been passed to the Scottish SPCA for investigation. The farm is owned and operated by the Scottish Salmon Company.
The video shows salmon with the flesh on their heads exposed due to severe sea lice damage, heavy sea lice burdens, and fish jumping out of the water, with one landing on top of another during one instance, and severe fin and tail damage.
"The reality of salmon farming is hidden from view in the most scenic surroundings, but this new footage raises further serious questions about the effect that industrial-scale salmon farming has on animal welfare.
Scotland is the largest producer of farmed Atlantic salmon in the EU, and the third largest globally, after Norway and Chile. The aquaculture industry, backed by the Scottish Government, is committed to doubling the salmon farming industry by 2030.
Last week, OneKind launched a petition to the Scottish Parliament with partners Scottish Salmon Think-Tank, Save Seil Sound and the Salmon Aquaculture Reform Network Scotland (SARNS) calling for a moratorium on the expansion of the salmon farming industry until welfare and environmental concerns are addressed.

A drop of blood flew to the corner of her eye, and that drop mixed with her tears, sliding down along her face, dropping to the bottom of her heart, not knowing where a gust of wind came from, the tailbone of long whip still flying up in mid-air suddenly shuddered, passing by the top of Zhuang Sheng's head, `pa`, hitting Jiu Fang Xi's eyes. The other bore the pain, the palm still inside Zhuang Sheng's body suddenly tightened, deliberately pulling out a pulsing organ, blood slowly rolled out from the corner of Zhuang Sheng's lips.
Xia Ling Mei was afraid yet sorrowful, she put all her weight on her heels, her semi-disabled right hand flung with a horizontal force, two out of her five fingers directly into Jiu Fang Xi's red eyes, using all her strength to dig and drag, pulling out two round and bulging bloody eyeballs.
Jiu Fang Xi cried out in great pain, using the last of his wit, his palm hitting Zhuang Sheng's back, sending him flying with Xia Ling Mei. Behind him, Wang Yun Feng who swayed as he got up only had time to firmly use the broken blade to stab into his backbone, after that he too was kicked far away by Jiu Fang Xi.
Everyone only heard a mournful and cold anguish wail close by and far off, Jiu Fang Xi did not zealously continue fighting any more, rising and falling several times in the distance.
Wang Yun Feng gasped a few deep breaths, exerting his strength he crawled in the direction of Xia Ling Mei, on top of her still laid Zhuang Sheng shaking like a leaf, a steady flow of blood trickled from the two people leaning against each other. Wang Yun Feng heart practically wanted to twist and break into pieces, his throat gurgled unable to say a word.
Maybe it was only a split second, or it was a very long lifetime, the man in Xia Ling Mei's arms finally stopped struggling, suddenly closing his eyes.
Wordless and uncommunicative.
Xia Ling Mei blinked, only feeling there was something heavier in her chest, yet also lacking something, for no reason at all it hurt her, tears incessantly flowed.
The pitch-black night sky, in the distant horizon, the first glimmer of dawn was bright and
The fight between the Jianghu and the imperial government officials caused a great ripple in the Dayan, Jiu Fang Xi used witchcraft to confuse everyone in the Jianghu, blockading the third rank imperial censor, causing the death of many, attempting to provoke animosity between the imperial court and Jianghu, a crime unable to be pardoned. Not only did the imperial court issue an order for his arrest, the former martial arts leader was also invited to come back once again by the sects of the Jianghu, taking the place as the boss of the Jianghu, an influential person to dismember Jiu Fang Xi's body into tens of thousands of pieces.
Han Yi Fan arranged for everyone seriously injured to a villa, not too far from Xian Yun Manor, a hidden place, another property of the Han family, inside and out even the old women who sweeps the floor was able to brandish a blade and handle a sword a couple of times. Inside apart from the Han family's personal guards, there were also the additional hidden guards of the Wang family and Xia family's hidden guards, finally, even the Zhao Prince had sent a hundred private soldiers to help guard them. In this respect, there were even imperial censors at court reporting of Wang Yun Feng's neglect of his duties, the emperor silently made clear his feelings.
No one paid attention to these three masters of the Wang family. Wang Yun Feng and Xia
Ling Mei were heavily injured, along with a few personal guards they were also lying on beds, everyday doctors would come in and out to take their pulse, decoct medicinal herbs.
Xia Fen was pulled along with Han Yi Fan, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the tombstone behind him getting further and further away, quietly muttering: "He isn't a good person, so why didn't he live long?"
Han Yi Fan picked up the child: "Hero Zhuang saved your parents, how is he not a good person."
Xia Fen said: "He said it himself. He said he was a bad person, he could bring disaster for a
millennium. I'm a small bad egg, I can bring disaster for ten thousands of years."
Han Yi Fan stroked him on the head: "To the Wang family, you only have to remember, he is your benefactor."
Xia Fen really wanted to say, his surname is Xia, not Wang. He felt the hands of the person holding him was like iron hoops, he opened his mouth, not uttering a word. Han Yi Fan was too similar to General Xia, unconsciously making people not dare to refute his words.
Returning to the villa, Han Yi Fan once again disappeared. Xia Fen went to see Bai Yan and Hei Zi familiar with the way. Juan Shu was still in Bai Yan's room, nose streaming while crying: "You hateful person why are you still not better, you want to worry me to death or what? Unless you want to lay in bed all your life, make me wait upon you for the rest of your life? I'm telling you, if you're really handicapped, I will abandon you to find another strong and healthy to live my life with…"
"Shut…up."
"Don't think just because you're acting seriously injured, acting weak, poorly, I will blindly follow you. I'm telling you, this master is good looking, educated, wealthy, not lacking in all kinds of houses, carriages and servants. Don't think when you're dead, I will live as a widow…"
"If you dare to remain lying in bed pretending to be like a corpse today, tonight I will be unfaithful, randomly pick a handsome young man and like a blazing fire and dry wood together, red brocade quilt tangled on the bed…"
"You shut your mouth for me!" Anger attacking his heart Bai Yan clutched at Juan Shu's neck, "Are you or are you not a man?"
Juan Shu pretended insincerity and shook out his handkerchief, not a drop of tear in his eyes, half a strand of mucus hung from his nose: "Aiya, of course your servant is a man. Haven't you already examined this servant's body before?"
Bai Yan kicked the other person away with one foot: "If you're a man than stop acting coy in front of me, frame my innocence."
Juan Shu started weeping: "You lack conscience, you ate me up but don't intend to owe up to it. I don't want to live…"
Bai Yan staggered along rushing forward, viciously stomping on Juan Shu several times: "Go die!"
Juan Shu swept away his non-existent tears, staring at him: "You can get up from his bed!"
Bai Yan panted heavily, Juan Shu with bones of stone got up, raising his handkerchief rushing outside and shouting: "Doctor, my old but still alive man can get up from his bed, I can stop waiting on him, feeding him, go to bed, go to the toilet right? Oh, that's right, I can still help him take a bath…" Saliva dripping.
The reply was Bai Yan using all his strength to throw out a flower vase.
Xia Fen with sharp eyes and nimble fingers jumped on to the roof beam of the room, with several tumbles he left the room. He didn't understand life as a widow, what was red brocade quilt tangled on the bed, but at least it was good that Bai Yan could get up off the bed. The doctor had said, it wasn't good to lie in bed for too long.
Xia Fen conveniently turned into Hei Zi's room, the strange thing was, there was no one there. He thought about it, taking the initiative he scuttled to the roof top, shading his eyes with his hand he swept his eyes over the entire villa in a circle, settling on the bright glistening practice ground, Bai Zi's figure drenched in sweat practicing martial arts. And Hei Zi, holding a pot of wine in his mouth, a plate of peanuts placed on his cross-legged, sitting on the highest wooden pile, with each peanut eaten he would use the peanut shell as a concealed weapon aiming it at Bai Zi. From time to time the sound of Bai Zi's pitiful cries could be heard, tears almost streaming down his cheeks complaining about Hei Zi's savagery.
Xia Fen was very baffled, yelling out to Hei Zi with the space between them: "What are you doing?"
Hei Zi was internally injured, his voice was very much feeble: "Watching the bunny rabbit dance."
Xiao Bai sullenly: "I'm practicing my marital arts!"
Hei Zi sneered: "This kind of flowery fist with fancy footwork is considered martial arts? Let alone fighting against someone, you wouldn't even be able to defeat a dog, and would even retreat."
Xiao Bai felt extremely indignant: "At that time I was surrounded by three people, I couldn't escape. When I went to find you all, you had long ago gone."
Xiao Hei laughed grimly: "He's still blind at directions, he's been a secret guard for so many years, he hasn't even completely learned the method of following a trail. How has Master Wang not taken you away, letting you outside to jeopardise everyone."
Xiao Bai threw the long sword at Hei Zi, because he had practiced martial arts for so long, under the sun and sweating he didn't have much strength anymore, before the point of the sword could reach the edge of wooden pile it fell to the ground. Hei Zi became more and more pale: "Look at that strength! If you don't have the ability then take a hike back to Beiding City, go eat your leisurely meal."
Xiao Bai was so angry his face was very red, picking up the throwing knives from the weapons stand, one after the after he threw it at Hei Zi. Even though Hei Zi's internal injury wasn't light, his foundation was sturdy, these few years going on the battlefield with Xia Ling Mei he wasn't sure how many extreme dangers he had faced, even if his internal injury was even more serious he would not be lazy in practicing martial arts, he was even more unconcerned with skin and flesh injury, therefore he got up from sickbed even before Bai Yan. This was the first and only time he allowed Xia Ling Mei to be in the front line of life or death, he already had to stifle a bellyful of rage. This past half year he had helped Xiao Bai many times, he understood the other person's ability very much, so every time they met with assassination he would subconsciously protect the other person a little bit, but this time it was truly too dangerous, he had subconsciously taken on the responsibilities of Wang Yun Feng's and Xia Ling Mei's injuries onto himself. He still felt his martial arts skills was not perfected enough, he was too indulgent on Xiao Bai, from the start if he had decided to improve Xiao Bai's martial arts skills and abilities, he wouldn't have been hindered by the other person as badly, limiting the distance between life and death and his master.
On one hand he blamed Xiao Bai, even more he blamed himself.
Xiao Bai's mind did not have so many twists and turns, he just felt Hei Zi was picking at him, mocking him. Originally because he had always received help by the other person, he therefore bore with it, but this obvious and plain mockery wounded Xiao Bai's heart for the first time. He showed his feelings wanting to go head to head with Hei Zi, Hei Zi was not scared, raising his hand he slapped Xiao Bai twice, then kicked him in the stomach, injuring the other person's ankle, even almost breaking his five fingers. The more Xiao Bai fought the braver he got, sweat flowed down, and Hei Zi relied completely on one breath, clenching his teeth and swallowing down the blood which seeped out, slapping down each one of Xiao Bai's attack, incessantly calling him names.
Xia Fen standing to the side was eager to give it a try, he was young, he simply did not understand the thoughts of adults, he only felt his blood boil seeing the two people mutually tearing at each other like wild beasts seeing red, arousing the warlike trait in his body. He sprawled at the side quietly waiting, like a hunter waiting for preys on neither side to win, his pair of beast like eyes did not blink.
That night, Hei Zi and Xiao Bai were plotted against by Xia Fen, both not lightly injured laid on a bed. Juan Shu once again clutching at his small handkerchief climbed onto the edge of the two people's bed, pretending to cry: "The two of you who have killed many, don't think just because you die together you can leave me behind! I'm telling you, even if you die, I won't allow you to be buried together, I will exonerate your bodies and whip your corpses…[1]"
Hei Zi: "Get lost!"
Bai Zi: "Get lost!"
The old maid of the villa raised her broom, hatefully saying: "You cannot stop just for a bit?"
Xia Fen scuttled to his own mother's bed, shaking off Wang Yun Feng's hand, minding his own business he lifted up his mother's arm to hold his own little stomach, his entire body shrinking next to Xia Ling Mei's embrace, hearing Wang Yun Feng say: "I already told Hero Han, in a fortnight I've asked him to personally send people to escort you mother and son back to Beiding City."
Xia Fen curled his lips, he simply did not ask back: you won't go back with us?
"The matter with Zhuang Sheng, don't be too broken-hearted. He was originally a free and at ease person of the Jianghu, with a temper that loved to be outspoken, daring to love and hate… excessively worried, he would also be unstable, I also…" felt that I was useless, at the critical moment I unexpectedly could not rescue you, instead allowing Zhuang Sheng to give up his life for you.
Zhuang Sheng affection for Xia Ling Mei, Xia Ling Mei could no longer return, this time, Wang Yun Feng also could not plot against a dead person, making a clean break between the two of them.
A living person, could not win against a dead person.
Wang Yun Feng knew, he understood even more Xia Ling Mei's temper of paying debts of gratitude, taking revenge to avenge.
Right now, Xia Ling Mei did not want to say anything, her heart had settled the matter, there was blame, but she was unable to vent her feelings.
Wang Yun Feng could not force her, and would not force her, who owed a life to Zhuang Sheng, he no longer had the ability to say to Xia Ling Mei: forget Zhuang Sheng, you can only belong to Wang Yun Feng!
Ultimately, there was only a sigh, not lingering.

By proclamation of the State Legislature in 1997, Monroeville gained the distinction of "Literary Capital of Alabama," because of the great American writers who've called it home – including Harper Lee, Truman Capote and contemporary author, Mark Childress – whose acclaimed works include Tender and Crazy in Alabama. As a testament to Monroeville's literary heritage, the Alabama Writers Symposium is held in Monroeville every spring at the Coastal Alabama Community College campus, as well as the Monroeville Community House and the Monroe County Museum. This two-day celebration explores the creation and study of literature in some of Monroeville's most storied locations. Here are a few highlights of Monroeville's literary tradition.
The Harper Lee Connection
Growing up just a few blocks away from Monroeville's Old Courthouse, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Harper Lee, drew inspiration from Monroeville, AL for her first novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Taking place in the fictional Southern town of Maycomb, this novel was also influenced by the Old Courthouse, which is now one of the most photographed historic buildings in Alabama thanks to its distinctive architecture. On the south lawn stands a monument to Atticus Finch, the fictional hero of the novel, representing the first commemorative Legal Milestone in the state's judicial history.
Each spring, Monroeville celebrates its heritage with productions of To Kill a Mockingbird at the Old Courthouse – remember to reserve your seat early for one of Alabama's most popular productions.
An American Novelist, Screenwriter And Playwright
A close friend and childhood companion of Harper Lee, Truman Capote lived in Monroeville for a good portion of his youth and even inspired the character Dill in To Kill a Mockingbird. Truman Capote composed such classics as In Cold Blood, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Other Voices, Other Rooms, many of which have been adapted into films. Capote's best-loved sentimental stories, such as A Christmas Memory and The Grass Harp, were inspired by his early life in Monroeville.
South of the Old Courthouse, you'll find the Truman Capote Historical Marker on the site where the Faulk family home once stood.

Alfred Charles William Harmsworth,  Northcliffe (né le  et mort le ) est un patron de presse britannique, pionnier du journalisme populaire. Il est célèbre pour sa capacité à transformer des journaux exsangues rachetés à bas prix en des journaux de masse à fort tirage. Il a créé le premier journal de bande dessinée anglais à fort tirage, Comic Cuts, les quotidiens Daily Mail et The Daily Mirror, a sauvé en son temps l'Observer, le Times et le The Sunday Times.

Biographie
Né près de Dublin, Harmsworth fait ses études à la Stamford School, dans le Lincolnshire. C'est le frère aîné d'Harold Harmsworth, également patron de presse, et de l'homme politique Cecil Harmsworth.

Débutant comme journaliste indépendant, il lance des journaux à très bas coût et de mauvaise qualité destinés au grand public, comme Forget-Me-Not (pour un public féminin), Comic Cuts (premier journal de bande dessinée de masse dans le pays, avec pour slogan « Amusing without being Vulgar » - « Amuser sans vulgarité »), ou Illustrated Chips. Pionnier des tabloïds, il achète de nombreux journaux en détresse et les transforme en des journaux profitables en s'accordant avec les goûts du public populaire : il rachète l'Evening News en 1894, puis crée l'Edinburgh Daily Record, à partir de deux anciens journaux qu'il fusionne.

Le , il lance à Londres le Daily Mail, qui devient le quotidien au plus fort tirage mondial jusqu'au début des années 1920. Parmi les slogans de ce journal : « le quotidien du travailleur » (« the busy man's daily journal ») et « le journal à un penny pour un demi-penny » (« the penny newspaper for one halfpenny »). Harmsworth fait ensuite d'un journal dominical, le Weekly Dispatch, le Sunday Dispatch, plus fort tirage britannique dans sa catégorie. Il crée en 1901 Amalgamated Press puis fonde en 1903 le Daily Mirror, sauve en 1905 l'Observer (revendu en 1911) puis en 1908 le Times. En 1908, il rachète le Sunday Times. En 1914, il revend le Daily Mirror à son frère.

En 1905, il reçoit le titre de baron Northcliffe, de l'Île de Thanet, puis en 1918 celui de vicomte Northcliffe, de Saint Peters, pour services rendus durant la Première Guerre mondiale auprès des États-Unis d'Amérique

Durant la guerre, ses journaux sont très engagés : les positions du Times lors de la crise des obus de 1915 forcent Herbert Henry Asquith à former un gouvernement de coalition, et c'est à la suite des pressions du magnat qu'est créé la même année un ministère des Munitions, et que le premier occupant à ce poste, David Lloyd George est nommé Premier ministre. Ce dernier nomme Northcliffe directeur de la propagande. Son influence est telle que les Allemands font bombarder sa maison, sans succès.

En 1920, sa femme créa le prix Northcliffe.

Among the acts coming to less-publicized venues are singer Alice Tan Ridley, jazz guitarist Earl Klugh and cabaret performer Meow Meow.
Palm Beach County is blessed with having a good number of decent-sized venues for performance. Sometimes, an interesting concert may end up in a different kind of location, other than the usual club, big performing arts center or amphitheater.
It helps to check the schedules of other venues - you never know what you might end up finding. Here are some concerts you may have missed this coming season by sticking with the usual suspects.
Oct. 8 - Nicole Henry, Arts Garage, Delray Beach: Henry, one of the top up-and-coming singers going in jazz today, is part of Arts Garage's Jazz Project, a continuing series of shows at the Delray venue which also includes the likes of Jesse Jones Jr., Troy Anderson and Federico Britos.
Oct. 9 - Glenn Miller Orchestra, Maltz Jupiter Theatre, Jupiter: Glenn may be gone but his great music will live forever. His inimitable style will be on display through such songs as In The Mood and Moonlight Serenade.
Nov. 8 - Copeland Davis, Eissey Campus Theatre, Palm Beach Gardens: One of the top jazz pianists around today, Davis - who got his start locally - will perform the kind of music that had one reviewer saying: "He brings a rare mix of gifts to the keyboard I have seen some great jazz pianists, and the only ones I remember having this ability are the late Oscar Peterson and Claude Bolling."
Jan. 12 - Jay Johnson in "The Two and Only," Dolly Hand Cultural Center, Belle Glade: Fans of the 1970s TV sitcom Soap might recognize Johnson as the ventriloquist son Chuck, inseparable from his dummy, Bob. Johnson brings a new show with his puppets, a show that discusses how to find your voice.
Jan. 26 - Guy Penrod, Dolly Hand Cultural Center: Penrod is on his own after 14 years as part of Bill Gaither's Vocal Band, which appeared nightly on TNN's Music City Tonight. His first solo album, Breathe Deep, has just come out.
Feb. 11 - Earl Klugh, Duncan Theatre, Lake Worth: Earl is one of the truly great guitarists, fusing jazz into a lighter style and helping to create what became known as "smooth jazz." He won a Grammy for his duet album with Bob James, One on One, and has been nominated for several others.
Feb. 18 - Hot Club of San Francisco, Duncan Theatre: This is a group that throws music back to the gypsy jazz of the 1930s, back to the time of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. Their program, "Cinema Vivant," also incorporates film for a night of remarkable entertainment.
March 2 - Puppini Sisters, Duncan Theatre: Speaking of throwbacks, this trio will vault you back into the 1940s, home to such classic vocal groups as the Andrews Sisters. However, there's something slightly different about them - a style they call swing-punk, due to the more "in your face" style of the trio.
April 17 - Larry Gatlin and Buffalo Rome, Dolly Hand Cultural Center: Gatlin, one of the biggest names in country music history, brings his brilliant voice and style to the Hand Center for its 30th anniversary. Also performing is country-rock act Buffalo Rome, which has opened for the likes of Kenny Loggins and Montgomery Gentry.
April 27 - Meow Meow, Duncan Theatre: Call it burlesque, call it cabaret, it seems that few do it better than Meow Meow. Her show is a combination of comedy, commentary and a brilliant singing style.
Tickets for these shows are on sale at the various websites for each venue. It's also both the 20th anniversary for the Duncan Theatre and 30th anniversary for the Dolly Hand Center, so check to see what other specials and events these two venues are offering.

Battling a gender pay gap? Our top 5 ways to narrow your gender pay gap
It's been almost four months since companies with 250+ employees reported their gender pay gap to the Government Equalities Office. Of those companies who reported in time for the deadline, 78% reported to pay men more and the UK announced a national average medium pay gap of 18.4% - higher than the OECD average.
With next year's reporting only eight months away(!), forward thinking employers are already taking the opportunity to evaluate their results and take action to address their imbalance – before it's too late.
Here are our top five ways to improve gender equality in your workplace, break down the barriers and drive women's career progression.
Our Modern Families Index told us that post-baby careers can be pretty disappointing for mothers and fathers, with missed promotions and stalled careers just a few of the side-effects. Worse still, parents are trying to juggle work and family life, leaving many feeling burned out.
The result: potential women leaders are heading for the door.
More important than maternity leave is what happens when mothers and fathers get back to work. The secret to retaining working parents, and particularly our future women leaders, is post-leave policies - from childcare and back-up care to flexible working. Enabling women to balance responsibilities at home and at work through practical solutions gives our female leaders the confidence to grow and thrive in the workplace.
Although the focus remains on getting more women into leadership, gender equality isn't going to change until men are involved as well.
The key ingredient? Paternity and shared parental leave.
Parental leave for fathers allows them to take a leading role in caring for children, rather than pigeonholing mothers into part time work and taking responsibility for the children and leaving fathers to work full time. It also sends a clear message that mothers and fathers are viewed equally when taking time off.
Preconceptions about certain industries, such as engineering and technology, can discourage women from applying leaving candidate shortlists dominated by men.
Gender diverse organisations bring a variety of ideas, experiences and knowledge from a broad range of people, with benefits for our organisations. Unbiased training for those involved in the recruitment process can help to improve the number of women applying and being interviewed for positions.
Peer to peer support can be invaluable in helping employees develop the skills and confidence they need to support their careers. A female network, sponsored by senior female leaders, can be a simple and easy method, with meetings and events focussed on helping colleagues build a strong support network around them.
Preparing aspiring women for leadership roles takes more than just a high level demonstration. It requires support through the chain, including conversations about career aspirations, support for mothers before, during and after leave, and ongoing personal and professional development. It also requires careful thought about the kind of benefits that can provide this support, such as flexi time, professional courses, maternity and executive coaching, and how they're delivered.
Narrowing the gender pay gap isn't a quick fix or a tick box exercise. There's no one size fits all approach but these five ideas should help you to create a more gender diverse workforce.

I saw you write this in another thread where did you get this idea?
yep she wrote it on my thread... i was wondering where she got the idea too?

You can slam me if you want to but this should be removed immediately. It will most certainly determine if I play this game at all anymore. There now slam away.
Slam you? You have every right to not buy it, avoid it, and detest it in any way you choose. And you can also see it as wrong for everyone else if that is how you feel.
But sterilizing the world to fit into a box defined by one person or one morality is just not how the game of life or Yo is played. I hope you stick around and choose not to allow a single item to run you away from something you enjoy. The game is filled with things that are way more offensive.
Anyhoo I hope you find your fun!
see, that is a mature response to having a different opinion. although you 2 disagree, you got your point across without any bashing or belittling. we all could learn from that. myself at times as well. we can disagree with each other while remaining civil and mature.
TY I really have been trying to be better about it.
I can't wait for the 'Jump Your Bones' action to hit the store tomorrow. Think of the threads we'll see then?

You see there are some people that enjoy different things than other people. They find humor in things that others may not. Fortunately we live on a planet big enough to allow people to have fun however they find it. And just as fortunately, we have a game that allows it as well.
I'm sorry the beds offend you. I would hope that you understand it is possible for you to avoid them. And the children who play Yo are not ours as a collective to babysit. Their parents are responsible for what their kids do and see online.....not the nanny state.
Me too. And I'm straight.
yw. I am trying to be better as well.
You guys are both better at being courteous in threads like this than I am, and I give you props for that. I just feel like if the OP presents their opinion in the manner this one did, I'm gonna give it right back. I know that doesn't solve the problem or change their minds, but some days I can't swallow the BS. Today is one of those. I usually make an effort to be more polite while disagreeing, and I reserve my not so nice comments for comments like Granlu's. She slammed adults for having differing opinions, and then invited people to slam her. Hey, if I get an invitation, I'm there.
I guess we see her post differently, I don't see where she slammed anyone at all. she simply stated her own opinion without attacking anyone.

now it all makes sense, I was scratching my head all day.
lol i was the same just last year... someone called me an OP and i couldn't think of anything it might mean apart from 'old person' !!
The OP was absurd. I'm sorry, but I feel it was. She brought up all kinds of things that had nothing to do with this. Then, Granlu referred to adults as "supposed" adults? What IS that? She then invited people to slam her. I'm sorry, but if you are referring to adults as "supposed" adults, how is that not attacking? It's condescending to anyone who has an opinion that differs from her own. And then proceeded to invite people to slam her for her opinion. Yes, it's baiting. And some of us should just pass it by, etc. But whatever. I'm too old to not call BS as I see it.
I actually missed the op part in your post. i agree hers went a little to far but i think granlu was civil and mature enough.. anyone can read more into words to make it seem like baiting.. I think you may have took it a bit to personal.. i saw the supposed adult and other terms she used as hypothetical responses, not a personal attack on anyone. i am not sure but i think I am older than you so what does age have to do with how a person responds to others?

Person » Garth Ennis is credited in 1661 issues.
Garth Ennis is a writer and creator from Northern Ireland who has been involved in comics such as 2000 AD's Judge Dredd, Vertigo's Hellblazer & Preacher, DC's Hitman, and Marvel's The Punisher. His work is characterized by extreme violence, black humour, profanity, grim morality, and a disdain for conventional superheroics.
Northern Irish Garth Ennis began writing comics at 19, starting with the Troubled Souls series that was published in British anthology Crisis in 1989. Troubled Souls was followed by a sequel, For a Few Troubles More that introduced characters Dougie and Ivor who would later star in their own American comics series, Dicks.
He has also done work in the Top Cow/Marc Silvestri title "The Darkness" and written many limited series like "Fury" covering Marvel's Nick Fury character, Thor: The Vikings, and more recently Ghost Rider: Trail of Tears.
The subject matter of his work is usually of an adult nature, containing extensive violence, profanity, and dark humor. Ennis' writer-owned title, "The Boys," was pulled by Wildstorm (a division of DC) after 6 issues due to its graphic content. The title has now resumed publication by Dynamite Entertainment, including the release of a trade paperback containing the 1st 6 issues.
Through a trend of Ennis' wherein, if he is leaving a title that will continue without him or potentially be revived without him at a later date, if he doesn't own the characters but if there are any characters in the book that he created or had a major part in shaping, he doesn't like to let other writers play with his toys, so he offs the characters that were his. This was done to almost all characters at the end of "Hitman" and to pretty much every character created by Ennis during his run on "Hellblazer" when he left the book.
Ennis is one of very few creators who published a significant amount of work through DC's Vertigo imprint in the form of miniseries in the mid 90's where the majority of their work in that form from that period is still in print.
From 2000 to 2008 Ennis was head Writer for Marvel's premier vigilante title, The Punisher. He is probably the most important writer for the character, as he explored every aspect of Frank Castle during his eight year run. He wrote The Punisher for Marvel Knights first in 2000. This title had a very tongue in cheek tone, but there were a few excellent stories. In 2004, he elaborated on his previous stories by writing The Punisher MAX series. These stories had a very serious tone, and were exemplified by realism and violence. It can be said he wrote some of the greatest stories of The Punisher, among them The End, The Cell, The Tyger, Widowmaker, and what many call the single greatest tale of The Punisher ever, BORN, in which he looks over The Punisher's Vietnam days, and how Frank Castle became the vengeful killer. He wrote it in 2003.
Much of Ennis' current work is through Avatar Press where he can get away with even more of his trademarked brand of merry depravity than even Vertigo ever let him get away with. He also does much work for Dynamite, the publisher who rescued The Boys. In addition to The Boys, Ennis has created a series of war minis under the title "Battlefields", and, most recently, a new miniseries called "Jennifer Blood" with which he admits he's getting a bit of the ultra violence and lighter side of his pitch-black humor out of his system, that's been absent from much of his work over the past few years.

'Apocalypse' asteroid Bennu will be visible to the naked eye in the western night sky this Thursday (February 14) from 8:00 p.m.
The doomsday asteroid, which has a high probability of impacting Earth in one hundred years' time, will appear to the right of the planet Mars, express.co.uk reported.
If it collided with our home planet, the rock would release 80,000 times more energy than the Hiroshima atomic bomb blast.
Bennu is one of the most potentially hazardous asteroids in close proximity to the Earth, yet it may shed light on the origins of life on our blue planet.
Never before has a spacecraft from Earth circled so close to such a small space object, one with barely enough gravity to keep a vehicle in a stable orbit.
At around 500 meters across, Bennu is the smallest object ever orbited by a spacecraft.
The OSIRIS-REx acronym comes from the spacecraft's mission paralleling the story behind the Egyptian mythological figure 'Osiris'.
In Egyptian mythology, Osiris was believed to have spread an understanding of agriculture throughout Egypt, hence bringing life to the ancient world.
Likewise, OSIRIS-REx seeks to return samples of organic compounds from the asteroid's surface, similar to those that led to the origin of life on Earth.

Interview – Nick Wilson
Nick Wilson is an acoustic pop singer-songwriter from the UK. Influenced by other artists including Gavin Degraw, John Mayer, and Coldplay, he has released three EPs of his own titled Darkest Hour, Ashes, and Closer. His YouTube channel, packed with covers and original material, has had nearly 850,000 views. With a growing fanbase and promising future, Wilson has been playing gigs in his local Buckinghamshire area. Learn more about Wilson and his music from his responses and be sure to check out the official video for his track "Ashes" below.
Three words I'd use to describe myself are….Creative, passionate, stick.
My favorite season is….Winter. There is something strangely therapeutic about being inside knowing it's outrageously cold outside. Plus when it snows, it looks really nice and stuff.
For fun I like to….Make music, watch films, listen to music, eat unhealthily.
I find inspiration from….Anything. The music I make takes a lot of inspiration from anything I listen to and end up liking. I think it's the same for any form of art work, if you like other forms of the same artwork, you're inevitably going to be influenced in some way by it. But also more physical inspiration, my girlfriend, things that happen and things like that.
I knew I wanted to pursue music when….I picked up my first guitar. I know it sounds heinously cliche, but there's no other way of putting it. Picking up a guitar, and being able to play it just set my off, I knew it was something I never wanted to not be able to do. Even going a week without my guitar hurts me a little inside…
I'm currently listening to….The Staves 'If I Was' album in its entirety. Those harmonies man.
The first song I wrote was….A really awful song called "I Won't Let You Go." It was literally right when I first started, so my songwriting style was all over the place and it was just terrible haha.
Something I learned from creating Ashes, Darkest Hour and Closer is….To never throw away songs until you've recorded them and heard what they sound like as an actual recorded song. A few of the songs I included on each EP were extremely average in my head, but when I sat down and recorded them, they ended up being my favorite on each EP. So always give songs a chance to be explored and layered!
One thing I want you to remember while listening to my music is….That it was written from personal experience about things you almost certainly are feeling or have felt.
My craziest or most memorable gig was….Supporting Gabrielle Aplin at her Shepherds Bush Empire gig in London in November 2013. One of the craziest nights of my life, and I will honestly never forget the feeling of being on a stage that large in front of a crowd that big, supporting such a lovely musician.
My favorite tracks to play live include…. "Closer," "Falling" and "Shadows in the Dark." I just really enjoy putting energy into these songs live, and they are just fun songs to sing. A cover of Sam Cooke's A Change Is Gonna Come usually makes its way into a setlist too, as hitting that high note at the end makes me happy every time…
Something odd I want my fans to know about me is….That I can't… bottom burp… when I'm walking. I just can't do it. I have to stop mid walk to let one rip…
My last meal would be….A chicken, stuffing and bacon sandwich from Tescos and a packet of mini cheddars. Living the high life I know.
I'm absolutely terrified of….Having a song turn out awful when I record it. Or spiders. I genuinely fear spiders possibly too much.
In the next six months you should expect….More songs and covers on my youtube, possibly some news regarding new EP's or an album or something but nothing is set in stone!

SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif., March 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Philatron Wire and Cable proudly introduces its' new UL listed 1000 volt rated electrical vehicle cables - UL type EVE - 1000 Volts. These EVE cables are the most efficient EVE cables manufactured.
As electrical current is increased, copper wire conductors heats up. Higher currents cause over heating if the conductors are undersized for the application. As the heat increases, the resistance (less capacity to conduct electricity) of the wire conductors also increases. Overheating of conductors can be reduced by applying higher voltage, because higher voltage reduces current or allows higher current through the same size conductors previously powered by smaller voltage. The improved efficiency of electric current by using higher voltages allows for electrical vehicle cables to be designed with smaller sized, lighter weight cables for supercharging stations without overheating.
Philatron has a track record of continuing to improve efficiency in the automotive industry. With 45 years of innovation in electrical wire and cable products, Philatron is a full-service USA cable manufacturer - offering bulk cables from 12 volts to 35,000 volts and EV Cable Assemblies with option of straight cable or new large loop coiled cable for improved safety and cable management. Philatron EV cables are rated +105°C to -50°C, with Underwriters Laboratories: UL-62, and National Electric Code: Articles 400 & 625 Standard. The application of the EVE power cable is extra heavy duty, with greater mechanical strength, lower weight, temperature, and abrasion. It is also chemical, flame, water, and ozone resistant. Philatron manufactures USA quality cables that you can trust.
A leader in technology, creativity and innovation, Philatron Wire and Cable is a major wire and cable provider in the USA, manufacturing a full range of wire and cable products.

The more you Noh: Bilingual student editor brings Japanese resources to English Wikipedia
By Eryk Salvaggio on June 29, 2015
Posted in Profiles, Spring 2015, Student testimonials, Student work, Testimonials (all), Wikipedia Student Program by Eryk Salvaggio
Haruki Ikeda
Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit, and thousands of people around the world do just that. But all too often, cultural knowledge is locked behind a language barrier. Haruki Ikeda is an example of a student working to break down that wall, and he's opening up knowledge about a rich cultural tradition in the process.
Haruki (User:Decafespresso) is a student in Dr. Amy Hughes' two-term theater history course at Brooklyn College. While he was interested enough to create an account on Wikipedia in 2009, he hadn't made an edit until he started the course. Since then, he worked on two articles over two terms, contributing to the article on Noh, a traditional Japanese theater form that was rated a Good Article. Then, he began working on the article for the Broadway League.
In his first round, the Noh article, Haruki drew from Japanese sources that weren't available in English. He was born in Tokyo, and Japanese is his first language.
"It has really helped in my coursework because I was able to use Japanese sources for the Noh article, in addition to English sources," he said. "I think it was a very meaningful contribution that I was able to make to the Wikipedia community."
For Noh, Haruki helped edit as the article expanded from 8 sources to 41, with at least three Japanese-only texts. The article was named a Good Article three months after Haruki helped expand it (with very few additional edits in between).
"The reviews were very constructive, and I think going beyond expectations of the class assignment really helped me in solidifying my knowledge of Noh. It is very gratifying to know that others care about what I've done and the subject I care about."
His second article required a completely different approach.
"It was interesting to edit two articles," Haruki said. "Noh is a very traditional, historic genre with many reliable sources in the form of books and journal articles, but I had to work mostly with newspaper articles for the Broadway League article."
For that article, Haruki added over 20 sources about the Broadway League, a trade association for theater actors on Broadway. Haruki added information about strikes and the political activity of the organization dating back to the 1940s.
Haruki said he hopes to spend more time translating Japanese articles and sources for the English Wikipedia. After all, that's in line with his long-term goals: He wants to bring more awareness of contemporary Japanese performances to the West.
"Traditional Japanese theatre forms such as Noh and Kabuki have become known in the Western world, but there are so many talented Japanese contemporary artists and plays that are completely unknown in the rest of the world. Japanese works haven't been able to reach audiences abroad partly because of the language barrier," he said. "I think I can change that situation with my English and knowledge of the American theatre industry."
Haruki's work is an example of what's possible when a bilingual student, already fluent in English and another language, tackles a classroom assignment. Students who are still mastering a language, however, can also make meaningful contributions to Wikipedia through translation assignments. By working with articles in their target language and translating it into their native language, students can unlock knowledge from other language Wikipedias and share it with the English-speaking world. (You can read more about translation assignments here).
Thanks to Haruki Ikeda for his wonderful contributions to Wikipedia.

PBA Officers Go Above and Beyond
in Speaking Out
Officer John McCauley responded to a call from a woman in labor. After arriving on the scene, McCauley helped the woman deliver her infant. Although the delivery was a success, he had difficulty locating the newborn's pulse. McCauley responded quickly, utilizing expert medical knowledge to resuscitate the newborn. Officer McCauley then rode with the mother and her infant in the ambulance, continuing care.
"3/30/2014…[Officer McCauley's]quick response and medical knowledge assisted in saving the life of a newborn who was not breathing on his own. His exceptional effort should be recognized."
After apprehending a young male for recreational drug abuse and resulting criminal activities, Officer Anthony Passarella and Detectives handled the situation with compassion and care. After taking him into custody, they kept close communication with the young man's family and ultimately facilitated treatment in a rehabilitation program.
"1/7/2015…Their compassion and professionalism that morning made a very trying experience more bearable…they are an asset to your department and to our community and should be commended for their dedication."
Detective Bradley Lanser was assigned to investigate the repeated disappearance of an elderly couple's belongings. Living with dementia, the two desired to remain in their own home with the help of four caregivers. After discovering that two of the caregivers had been pawning their belongings, Lanser apprehended the suspects, bringing a sense of security to the couple and their loved ones.
"4/18/2014…Impressed by his meticulous, in-charge, calm and thoughtful demeanor; I feel that my parent's case was in the best of hands."
A Northport man and his wife have been continually assisted by the officers of the Second Precinct. After being attacked by a virus, the man became paraplegic and was prone to falling, unable to stand on his own or with the help of his wife. Officers of the Second Precinct responded to the couple's "lift assist" calls regularly and diligently, ensuring the safety of this man and a sense of security for his wife.
"12/1/2014…We are so very grateful for the STRONG officers who have been here countless times over the past 6 months. They have come in the middle of the night and during the day, and always with the most pleasant, helpful dispositions."
A woman was hospitalized after losing consciousness during the recent carbon monoxide tragedy at Legal Seafood. Once in stable condition, she spoke with Detective Phillip Frendo, mentioning that she had left her purse at the scene of the incident. Detective Frendo revisited the scene to retrieve the purse, and returned to the hospital only hours later to deliver it to her personally.
"2/2/2014…That small act of kindness and professionalism meant a great deal to my daughter and to our family, and I would like to extend our sincere thanks to Detective Frendo."
After an accident snapped the chair and dislodged the ventilator of a handicapped man, Officers Phil Kufahl and McCarthy responded promptly. The Officers safely extradited the man from his van, manually pushing him to the exit. To ensure his comfort and safety, the Officers helped him into his home and assisted in raising and guiding the man to his bed.
"1/28/2014…They provided a safety line, diffusing a potentially dangerous situation into a routine call for help. They gave me security and peace of mind. They gave me assistance to return back to normal. The cost to them was only a few minutes of their time. The benefit to me was priceless."


Last week I wrote about Jay Kruizenga's photo of a woman with long hair.
He read the column and quickly wrote back to say thank you. It appears that the lovely woman with the long locks has a name!
He believe that this picture was taken 1883-85 because the cardstock and other details match another photo in his family collection. The other image depicts Jacob Derk Kruizenga's only living son, Derek Jacobs, who was born in 1879.
According to the 1880 federal census, the couple had two daughters living at home—Nettie (born 1861) and Frances (born in 1866). Jay doesn't think Nettie is the woman in this photo because she married and moved away from home around the time of the census.
Could this photo be Frances? Perhaps. She was the only living daughter of Jacob and his second wife Gezina Rotmans VanBraak. She didn't marry until 1885, so she would still be single in this photo.
Now all Jay has to do is find another photo of Frances for comparison. She was well known in Michigan. Frances was elected President of the Michigan Chapter for the Independent Order of Foresters, a fraternal organization, and gave speeches at conventions.
Jay wrote to the Foresters but the person who replied said that all their historical information is boxed and unorganized, thus making it difficult to find anything.
I'm hopeful that someone has a photo of Frances in her capacity of president of that organization.
Thank you to the person who commented on last week's story. If you've ever wondered why all these young women posed with their long hair down, there is a simple answer: They wanted to look like the famous Barnum and Bailey Circus act, the Seven Sutherland sisters. The sisters concluded their musical performance by letting down their hair for the audience. It was sensational!

Writers visit South Hebron Hills in West Bank, appeal to prevent expulsion of Palestinians from Firing Zone 918
Prominent Israeli writers Zeruya Shalev, Eyal Megged, Sayed Kashua and Alona Kimhi visited the South Hebron Hills in the West Bank yesterday. The writers met with the Palestinian residents of the village of Jenbah, who told them about the reality of their lives and the danger they face of being expelled from the site, which the military has declared "Firing Zone 918".
:Author Zeruya Shalev said
Nothing compares to witnessing, firsthand, the enormity of the injustice that is being done to poor farming families who are not endangering a soul and demand so little. I very much hope that, on the fifteenth of July, the court will decide to let them stay where they are, will relocate the firing zone and will make sure that they are able to live a human life, which every single person deserves. This Biblical setting and this Biblical way of life bring to mind two famous stories of injustice: the vineyard of Navot the Yizre'eli, and the poor man's lamb. It sounds very similar, that the state is not letting them hold on even to that vineyard, to that poor man's lamb.
In mid-July 2013, Israel's High Court of Justice will discuss a petition filed by hundreds of residents from the area of Masafer Yatta in the South Hebron Hills against the plan to expel them from their homes, following the designation of the area as a firing zone. The writers who visited the site today are part of a group of 24 Israeli writers who signed an appeal written by David Grossman, calling for the expulsion to be cancelled.
The signatories are: David Grossman, Salman Masalha, Amos Oz, Haviva Pedaya, A.B. Yehoshua, Ronit Matalon, Natan Zach, Salman Masalha, Meir Shalev, Yehushua Sobol, Eyal Megged, Etgar Keret, Zeruya Shalev, Agi Mishol, Nir Baram, Sami Michael, Dorit Rabinyan, Shimon Adaf, Alon Hilu, Alona Kimhi, Sayed Kashua, Yehoshua Knaz, Assaf Gavron.
The full text of the appeal:
Help Save The Palestinian Villages in the South Hebron Hills
For the past twenty years Israel has been actively expelling and displacing the inhabitants of the South Hebron Hills villages. These villagers have always practiced a unique lifestyle: most of them are cave dwellers and find their livelihood in sheep- and goat herding and small crop farming.
Over these years they have suffered unceasing harassment by the Israeli army and settlers. Their dwellings are repeatedly demolished, water cisterns ruined and sealed, and their crops destroyed.
1,000 people, adults and children - in eight villages of an area that in the 1980s was declared 'army firing zone no. 918' - are now threatened with immediate expulsion from their hamlets. They live in constant fear, helplessly facing a ruthless power that does everything to displace them from the home they have inhabited for centuries.
Now their plight is up for a last review by Israel's High Court of Justice.
We call out to those who are still able to listen:
We cannot bring peace today. But the least we can do is to expose and condemn "small" local outrages. In a reality of ongoing occupation, of solid cynicism and meanness, each and every one of us bears the moral obligation to try and relieve the suffering, do something to bend back the occupation's giant, cruel hand. In a place where there are no worthy people, strive to be a worthy person (Pirkei Avot -Ethics of the fathers). Should we not do even this very little?

Palestine - Abbas adulation gets lost in translation
By David Singer - posted Friday, 28 October 2011 Sign Up for free e-mail updates!
PLO Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has been often criticized for making statements in English that are contradicted by other statements made by him in Arabic. Abbas has continued this art of doublespeak first perfected by his predecessor Yasser Arafat - tailoring his views to the audience that he is addressing.
What is equally as sinister - and indeed should perhaps be regarded with even more alarm - is the apparent attempt by some sections of the media to put Abbas in a favorable light by deliberately mistranslating into English what he says in Arabic.
This is illustrated by considering two differing versions of remarks made by Abbas - when greeting some of the convicted terrorists released in exchange for the captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
The Guardian reported Mr Abbas as saying:
'Your efforts have not been in vain,' he told a crowd of thousands, which included 133 of the freed prisoners. 'You have sacrificed, fought and paid the price.'
This identical quote was also carried by such media outlets as UTV News and NewsRack.
Sky News however reported Mr Abbas's speech in different terms:
Your sacrifices and your efforts and your work has not been in vain. You have sacrificed and fought...
This version was also carried by Lebanon News and The Australian Newspaper.
The discrepancy between both reports is glaring .
The omission of "your work" in the Guardian story cannot be described as "nitpicking" or "inconsequential." Such omission could not have been purely accidental or due to the Guardian's translator having less of a grasp of Arabic than the Sky News translator.
If Abbas was to be seen in Western eyes as openly and publicly condoning and praising the "work" of these released terrorists - it could well have an adverse affect on Abbas's image as a peace-seeking diplomat presently touring world capitals to enlist support for the PLO's application for recognition of the State of Palestine and its admission as a member of the United Nations.
