Colombiana 2011 Movie Free Download Full HD 720p In 1992, in Bogota, Colombia, a drug lord's assassin named Fabio Restrepo (Jesse Borrego) tells his boss, Don Luis Sandoval (Beto Benites), that he wants to leave crime behind. Don Luis is incensed that Restrepo thinks he can leave. Don Luis sends his henchman Marco (Jordi Mollà) and a group of killers to kill Restrepo and his family. Fabio gives his nine-year-old daughter Cataleya (Amandla Stenberg) a SmartMedia computer memory card with the information on Don Luis' business and tells her it's her "passport"; he also gives her the address of her uncle Emilio (Cliff Curtis), a criminal in Chicago, who will take care of her. The last thing he gives her is something that he says will keep her safe: his mother's cattleya orchid necklace. After saying their goodbyes, Fabio and his wife Alicia (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) leave to battle Marco and his men but both are gunned down as Cataleya watches. Marco tries to manipulate her into giving him the disk, but Cataleya refuses and escapes. She makes it to the U.S. Embassy and gives the information in exchange for a passport and passage to the United States. She escapes from the airport and takes a bus to Chicago. Once she finds Emilio, Cataleya asks him to train her as a killer.
Fifteen years later, a 24-year-old Cataleya (Zoe Saldana) has become an accomplished assassin. Her uncle serves as her broker, providing her with contracts. With each murder she commits, she leaves her signature, the Cattleya flower, which is a message to her ultimate target, Don Luis. The message to let Don Luis know she is coming for him. After learning about this Colombian orchid, FBI Special Agent James Ross (Lennie James) can now link this case to more than twenty other cases. As a last resort, the FBI decides to inform the public about Cataleya's calling card. Don Luis, who is currently in a witness protection program overseen by CIA Agent Steve Richard (Callum Blue), realizes that Fabio's daughter is in the U.S. and orders Marco (whose hand still hurts) and his operatives to find her. Cataleya does everything in her power to kill Don Luis, but not without some complications.

Back For More: Tricky Rickie Reveals New Sponsor, New Pro Mod Camaro For 2020 Season
By Josh Hachat | December 13, 2019
Rickie Smith sent out two sponsorship proposals to two different companies less than two months ago, knowing full well it was late in the season to be trying to procure a sponsor for 2020.
Within just a few hours he got a response and, from there, it didn't take long for Strutmasters to commit to the Pro Mod legend.
He talked with Chip Lofton on a Tuesday, was in their Roxboro, N.C. office two days later and had a sponsorship deal for 2020 signed, sealed and delivered just hours later. Smith has enjoyed a career filled with championships and big-time support from quality sponsors, but never has a deal come together this quickly.
"I had no idea when I went down there I would come out with a deal," Smith said. "I left there with a signed deal with everything done. It's just awesome when you can come away with a new sponsor. It was so late in the year, but it just came together. I'm tickled to death to work with Chip. He came in and helped, and it's just a pretty awesome deal."
The good news doesn't stop there. Strutmasters.com will be the major sponsor on the side of Smith's new 2020 nitrous Camaro from Jerry Bickel Race Cars.
He just took delivery of the Musi Racing Engines-powered Camaro on Monday, revealing the car and new sponsor on Thursday at the PRI show in Indianapolis.
The new Musi motor hasn't been on the dyno yet and everything on the car is brand new – including the sponsor – giving Smith, a three-time NHRA Pro Mod champ plenty of enthusiasm heading into 2020.
After a tumultuous year, the longtime veteran feels reinvigorated and energized with the new season approaching.
"All of it puts a little life in you. When a guy like (Chip) picks you up, it was absolutely a good boost for me," Smith said. "The new car is awesome. We changed a few things on the chassis, but we're interested to run the car and get some laps on it."
Smith expects to test in Florida early next year to get the nitrous Camaro set for the NHRA opener in Gainesville.
A year ago, Smith was preparing for his debut in a turbocharged Mustang, an experiment that quickly went off the rails.
He was back in the nitrous car by midseason, going on a solid run that included back-to-back No. 1 qualifiers, two straight finals appearances and a win in St. Louis. But Smith also split with longtime teammate Khalid AlBalooshi and skipped the finale in Las Vegas, putting an end to an adversity-filled 2019.
At the tail end of the turbulent finish, though, Smith sewed up the deal with Strutmasters.
He met with Lofton a week before the event in Las Vegas, and was blown away with how fast the deal was done. It was a bright spot to end the year, assuring Smith he went about things in the correct fashion.
"I emailed a couple proposals and within 3-4 hours, Chip emailed back and said, 'I'm interested.' We texted back and forth and he asked when I was going to come down," Smith said. "I said I could be down there on Thursday, and a couple hours later he said he would do the deal. I left there that day with everything done."
Smith was still partially in shock, but in Lofton's mind, it was an easy decision.
"Growing up in the Carolinas and being a Pro Stock fan and a Pro Mod fan, I never thought I could reach this place where I could sponsor him," Lofton told Competition Plus. "He lives to race and races to live. He's been one of those guys that has figured out a way to do it."
It's left Smith, a 15-time winner in NHRA Pro Mod, excited about the possibilities for 2020.
"We'll see what we can do, but it definitely sparked us," Smith said. "We're back to what we're used to doing."

A man is in the hospital recovering after being shot through the back by his 7-year-old son in what police are describing as an accidental shooting.
According to officials, shortly after 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Justin West was shot while he was sleeping at his Prescott Valley home near Loos Drive and Ranger Road.
Officials say the man's son, who has autism, knew the gun was kept in a small locked safe in a closet and knew where the keys to the safe were kept. The child reportedly used a chair from the dining room to access the safe in the closet, took the gun, and shot his father. Police say he could not provide a reason for shooting his dad.
The man was flown to John C. Lincoln hospital, where he is listed in stable condition.
At the time of the shooting, the mother was sleeping in the living room with their 2-year-old and 7-year-old sons. Another 13-year-old son was in his room doing homework.


There's a good reason that dogs are called "man's best friend." They are steadfast, devoted and constant companions that love their human counterparts with such selflessness that it's almost impossible not to get attached. Whether bought as a puppy or rescued as an adult, dogs have a way of seamlessly weaving their way into our families and hearts. At least that's how it seems to be for David Cox and his dog Charlie.
A former Phoenix area banking executive, Cox used to escape the city's hot summers for a month each year with his wife, traveling up to the Washington Peninsula. As time passed, however, the couple found it more in their interest to stay in Arizona year-round. That's when Cox announced that he wanted to get a dog. With his wife's blessing, and the help of their grandson, Cox began his search for the perfect pooch. One day, they alighted on a small Scottsdale pet shop that had some Havanese puppies in the window.
"They had three or four of them at the store and my grandson picked him. So we went into a little room, played with him for a while and decided that we would take him," says Cox.
On that very day in August 2007, Charlie officially became part of the Cox family, and has been an important member ever since.
He soon became a best-loved part of the Stonegate community in Scottsdale, where the couple resided, as well, greeting neighbors with a friendly bark as he trotted along during walks or gazed out the windows of the front bedroom.
That always cheerful, friendly demeanor that immediately seems to charm everyone he meets is at the root of his nickname, "Good Time Charlie," which Cox affectionately calls him.
Charlie has also proven to be an unwaveringly loyal companion and friend to Cox. After losing his wife last year, and upon moving to The Terraces of Phoenix (a pet-friendly continuing care retirement community), Charlie never left David's side, their bond growing stronger with every passing day.
However, Charlie doesn't just save his affection for David. Whether accompanying him on walks and grocery store trips or to Bible Study each week, Charlie greets everyone he meets with the same warmth and loving friendliness he constantly shows toward his beloved owner. And on those rare occasions when David does venture out without him, you can bet Charlie's there to greet his friend the minute he walks in the door.
The feeling seems to be mutual, too. When asked how he feels about David, Charlie is quick to respond with a playful bark and enthusiastic wag of his tail. Friendship truly at its best!

Evel Knievel Sues AOL, But He'll Never Stop That Video from Circulating
evel.jpgYa heard? Evel Knievel has sued Kanye West because West's "Touch the Sky" video allegedly infringes on Knievel's likeness. Also sued is AOL, which the lawsuit alleges helped distribute the video.
According to the lawsuit, "use of AOL's own search engine for a video of 'Evel Knievel' returned the infringing music video as the second hit generated by the search … Upon information and belief, AOL stopped distributing the infringing music video in response to Evel Knievel's demand that it do so."
Sorry Evel, but I think AOL done told you wrong. Or (more likely) AOL did remove the video but can't control what its video search engine indexes. The first five results from a search on AOL Video for "evel knievel" returns only Kanye West references, news reports, and the video.
A search on AOL's main search engine doesn't return any video results. A search on YouTube returns mostly Evel Knievel footage. Searching for "Kanye West Knievel" returns nothing, but a search for "Touch the Sky" reveals a few clips from the video. Google Video has some live Kanye performances, but not the Knievel video.
I'm surprised that YouTube doesn't have much of the Kanye West video.
I wonder–if Evel somehow manages to win his lawsuit, would the courts decree that it's illegal to host a copy of the video? Notwithstanding the fact that you could never enforce such a broad action, I don't know that the courts have that power. Could Knievel then sue for greater monetary compensation on the basis that the video will always be available to consumers?
Below, the Kanye West video and a few interesting facts about Mr. Knievel gleaned from the lawsuit:
Evel's name is protected by three registered trademarks, Nos. 2450740 (a word mark covering his name on decals, playing cards, pens, etc.), 2481629 (covering motorcycle stunt shows), and 2864119 (covering his likeness on video game machines)
The Evel Knievel jumpsuit is featured in the Smithsonian's "Legacies" exhibition and in the Museum of American History, thus enjoying trade dress protection, according to the lawsuit.
The sale of Evel Knievel toys, bicycles, watches and other products have grossed over $300 million.
Two movies have been made about Evel: "Evel Knievel" starring George Hamilton, and "Viva Knievel" starring Evel Knievel himself. Viacom produced a made-for-TV movie about Evel starring Sam Elliot, and Evel has appeared in the "Bionic Woman." Evel has also been the subject of several documentaries.


The Federal High Court in Abuja has stopped the Federal Government's plan to arraign the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT for alleged fraudulent asset declaration.
The Code of Conduct Bureau had filed a six-count charge bordering on fraudulent declaration of assets against the CJN at the CCT, after receiving a petition from Dennis Aghanya, Executive Secretary of the Anti-corruption Research Data-Based Initiative, ARDBI.
Onnoghen was due for arraignment before the CCT on Monday but he was absent from court.
But ruling on two separate ex parte applications on Monday, Justice N.E Maha, ordered parties to maintain status quo till January 17, ruling that the defendants should be served with all the papers filed and they should appear in court at the next hearing.

Wales secures access to Cystic Fibrosis drug Kaftrio®
The Minister for Health Vaughan Gething has today (Wednesday 22nd July) confirmed an agreement with Vertex Pharmaceuticals to secure access to the medicine Kaftrio® in Wales.
The medicine will be available for eligible patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) from the point at which it is granted its European marketing authorisation later this summer. This follows a last year's agreement which made Vertex's other medicines, Kalydeco®, Orkambi® and Symkevi® available for CF patients in Wales.
The Minister for Health, Vaughan Gething, said:
I'm pleased to confirm Kaftrio® will be made available to all eligible patients in Wales. I know many families will welcome the news. I have always made it clear that new and innovative medicines should be made available quickly and consistently for patients in Wales but only where their cost fairly reflects the evidence of their benefits.
The agreement reached with Vertex means that patients can begin to benefit from triple therapy treatment without delay when it becomes available in the UK in the coming weeks.

Q: kubernetes jee: Map resources property file I've this quartz.properties file into src/main/resources folder project:
org.quartz.jobStore.class = net.joelinn.quartz.jobstore.RedisJobStore
org.quartz.jobStore.host = redisbo

As you can see, I need to change org.quartz.jobStore.host according to current environment.
I mean, according to the environment my project has to be deployed, this value has to change as well.
All my environment are on kubernetes/openshift.
I don't quite figure out how to create a configmap in order to map this property of my src/main/resources/quartz.properties.
Any ideas?

A: I think you can configure as following steps.

*

*Create configmap using quartz.properties file as follows.

    # kubectl create configmap quartz-config --from-file=quartz.properties

*set the volume as configmap created as follows.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: test
spec:
  containers:
    - name: test-container
      image: k8s.gcr.io/busybox
      command: [ "/bin/sh", "-c", "ls /src/main/resources" ]
      volumeMounts:
      - name: config-volume
        mountPath: /src/main/resources
  volumes:
    - name: config-volume
      configMap:
        name: quartz-config
  restartPolicy: Never

A: I would consider creating an External Service, so you keep your redisbo as it is in your code and use kubernetes to map to external dns.  We use this technique a lot.
This guide is super helpful

The line of participants beginning the walk through downtown Frederick.
How a walk in the park can raise awareness for suicide prevention.
Out of the Darkness: Walk for Suicide Prevention was an event to raise funds and awareness for The American Foundation of Suicide Prevention (AFSP). Over 1,000 people attended, including parents, children, and furry friends. The large groups stopped traffic as they walked through downtown Frederick on October 20th in solidarity of mental health.
Frederick Community College has helped sponsor the event for a few years and Jeanni Winston-Muir, executive director of student engagement and learning support, has attended every time.
Mary Beth Liller, Program Associate for the Institute for Learning in Retirement at FCC, attended the event and worked in the merchandise booth with a few other FCC staff members. Suicide has personally affected Liller's life in the form of friends and her eight year old nephew, who struggles with mental illness and suicide even at a young age. Liller's role as a mother, particularly, makes the issue extremely important in her mind.
Suicide proves to be an extremely important issue when looking at statistics. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Leading Causes of Death Reports in 2016, suicide was the tenth overall leading cause of death in the U.S. and claimed the lives of almost 45,000 people and the second leading cause of death in individuals from the ages of 15-24.
Out of the Darkness is conducted in many different states throughout the country and works to decrease these numbers, as well as provide support for survivors of suicide loss, promote public policy, and raise money for new research on mental illnesses.
A large reason that many people do not receive the help they need when battling a mental illness is because they are afraid of the stigmas attached to the topic.
The media tends to portray mental illnesses inaccurately, which can have negative effects on people who are struggling, as well as how society views them, Bowers added.
Mentally ill characters are rarely the main protagonists in movies or TV shows, and, when they occasionally are, they are portrayed as dysfunctional in daily life or with wild extremities.
These stigmas tend to put off people who are struggling, as they fear the judgement and repercussions of their peers when being associated with the subject.
Despite the event only happening once a year, FCC and its faculty members actively work to provide endless support to students who need it. Majority of staff member on campus are willing to listen and help if a student is struggling, and encourage anyone who needs someone to talk with to swallow their fears and reach out.
"So many people battle with mental health issues and because suicide affects so many people, not just those who have committed suicide, it is essential we have adequate and reliable information, resources, education, and advocates who can offer hope to those who are struggling," Winston-Muir said.

For those who want a post… I'm doing much better. I'm starting to enjoy exercise, and I no longer walk like a zombie. I'd forgotten what it's like to feel vigorous. I've moved up from level territory to hills, and walk up and down stairs in preference to taking the elevator. I can even come up the four floors from the garage to our apartment with only one short pause to puff.
I've just started back to doing some upper-body exercise, though with very light weights. I did, however, feel it this morning. My muscles didn't like all that inactivity, even if it was necessary. I have to build up slowly to make sure I don't harm the sternum before it fully knits.
All in all, I'm very happy with the fix. It also seems to have helped my diabetes and weight control. I think the lack of circulation may have been one reason I couldn't loose weight. I had to drop plans for bariatric surgery, but it might not be necessary after all if I can control the diabetes without it. The problems crept up so slowly that I just wasn't aware of them until they hit a crisis. At least there was no heart damage as there would be in a heart attack, so I can exercise freely without worrying about anything but the incision.
The really interesting news is in the next post.
Great news on both posts. I remember it took Daddy a while to start feeling better, but then he started feeling a lot better. Great pictures of the new addition. Everybody looks tired, but happy.
I had cataract surgery on Tuesday. No pain, and now I can see great out of one eye. I'll get the other one done a week from next Tuesday.
You might try to communicate a little more frequently.
There wasn't a lot of energy left over. But yeah, that's all past now, and you are right, I could and should communicate more.
Cataract surgery was a great improvement for me. No glasses, no contacts, and I could see again! The surprise was how much brighter colors were afterward.

Substituting As A Subversive Activity
Reflections from a radical sub
Chris Dixon
Being a radical substitute teacher is like being a secret agent. At least that's how I experience it. Less than six years ago, I strolled into high school in Anchorage, Alaska as an unrepentant punk rock kid with a strange haircut, weird clothes, and plenty of scrawled political messages. Now I walk into schools in the very same district with a nondescript haircut, a shirt and slacks, and political messages tucked discretely into my briefcase. Somehow it works. How I look, along with my privilege as a white, middle-class, seemingly straight guy, gets me through the door.
Perhaps I'm the most surprised. As a recently graduated college student activist, I'm more accustomed to challenging authority—state and corporate authority in the streets of Seattle, or administrative authority at my former college. Yet, with no questions asked, administrators, secretaries, and teachers all give me authority. They trust me as a sub.
I should clarify: I am a trustworthy person. I'm not sneaking into classrooms to abduct or indoctrinate students. No, I work as a substitute teacher because I want to do something really subversive: assist young people in thinking and acting critically in their lives, their schools, their communities, and ultimately their world. Paulo Freire would call it "educating for freedom." That, with my commitment to fundamental social change, makes me an unabashed radical substitute teacher—a rad sub.
There are fringe benefits. With no credentials but a college degree, I get an insider's view of the US educational system. Under few other circumstances would I be able to read the small quote tacked in one social studies teacher's office: "Our bombs are smarter than the average college student. At least they can find Kuwait." No other way would a 'special ed' teacher confide in me that she wished she could work with students who actually "think."
Being a sub gives me the opportunity, unavailable to even most full-time teachers, to see a broad range of students and classrooms. So, of course I see the disturbing social realities. At the same time, though, I see so much promise, self-determination, and critical minds that I encounter in young people every day that I venture into classrooms.
Along with plenty of promise, my job is also full of complexities and dilemmas, insights and outrages. Indeed, radical substitute teaching is an incredibly multi-faceted experience. Here, I hope to offer some glimpses—vitally and necessarily connected to student experiences—into it. Consider this a crash course, beginning with the politics of the job, pointing to troubling ironies, pulling out some critical lessons, and ending with a constant sense of hope. This is rad subbing as I know it—sometimes discouraging, sometimes inspiring, always enriching.
Politics and Power
Last winter, I joined with several dozen other subs in a bleak school district conference room to munch on snacks and listen to a recently retired teacher. Her words offered countless precious jewels of wisdom, particularly concerning students: "they'll do anything for free time," "I don't mean to make excuses for them," "they have a different reality than you do." This, of course, was substitute orientation training, where young people are viewed as a different species and "behavior management" is the phrase on everyone's tongue. In a room full of scared subs (many fearfully anticipating their first classroom experiences), more than a few obviously found our trainer's words reassuring.
Ostensibly, we're teaching and learning. Yet, if I were to take my sub training seriously, I would likely accept that my job is to monitor, anticipate, and "manage" student behavior. I would understand that actual opportunities for teaching and learning are, regrettably but inevitably, rare in my life as a sub. In other words, it would be clear that what I'm supposed to be doing is deciding and enforcing when students can talk, move, question, and much more—policing as teaching, teaching as policing.
Ira Shor reminds us that the classroom has its own micropolitics, its own relations and legacies of power. Usually we don't hear them labeled so clearly, but they are always present. With a careful eye, we can see them in how teachers talk about the classroom. Our sub trainer, for instance, warned us about students saying "deflating things that make you as an educator lose control of the group." Her example? "History sucks."
If subbing chiefly means outsmarting adversaries, otherwise known as 'students,' then, yes, that comment can be construed as disruptive. But for those of us who remember our own school experiences, "history sucks" is really a very reasonable and fairly moderate complaint. Indeed, it can even provide an opportunity for grappling with some key issues about what history is and how it is taught and learned. Of course, that would mean validating student concerns—that is, intervening in the micropolitics of the classroom, undermining what is normally expected of a sub.
It can be done. One of my favorite lesson plans is in fact called "why school sucks." I first used it in a high school English class with a sudden teacher absence and some tired fifteen-year-olds. Grabbing two volunteers to write ideas on the board, I asked students to tell me all of the reasons they thought school sucks. At first cautious, they offered generalities like "getting up early" and "homework." Seeing that I was actually listening to them, though, they grew more bold, discussing particularly punitive security guards, examples of dreary learning experiences, and even details about the physical structure of their school. Soon the board was full.
With more time and energy, we could have gone further—into student visions of what learning should look like, for example. Within the space of minutes, however, it was obvious that they had plenty of meaningful ideas. And contrary to my training, the classroom wasn't disrupted; it was engaged.
Interestingly, one of the last brainstormed words that went on the board was "subs." Most of the folks at the sub training months before would do well to know that. However young people may express it, they perceptively see what most subs (and teachers) ignore: the choices educators make are often about power—policing, if you will. To students, subs are the most widely recognized and distrusted cops in the classroom, but certainly not the only ones.
Ironies and Inequities
When I was originally considering the idea of subbing, I mentioned it to my fourteen-year-old friend Neotony. "Just remember: you're not forced to be there; kids are," she warned. Of course, she's right. When social psychologists Craig Haney and Philip Zimbardo wrote their article "It's Tough to Tell a High School From a Prison" in 1975, they weren't saying anything that generations of students didn't already know. For anyone who recognizes that but still chooses to work in schools, it's a tough tightrope to walk.
I'm grateful to Neotony because she keeps me in check. She encourages me to see the ironies of maintaining radical politics while working within established institutions like schools. This is not literary irony—no idle wordplay—but, rather, the ironic incongruity between what I believe and what I must do. Indeed, 'ironic' is the only word to explain, for instance, the fact that during classes I have to write licenses, otherwise known as 'passes,' simply for students to use the restroom. And nothing else could describe the reality that I have to steadily endure using brain-draining, stultifying, white-washed history textbooks no matter how much I hate them.
Sometimes the ironies are even more biting—as much because of the harsh social realities of schools as my politics. For example, one day I found myself presenting a bland list of vocabulary words to a junior high social studies class, the majority of whom were low-income students of color. They carefully copied down each one: "capital," "tariffs," "means of production," etc. Half a year earlier, acting as an organizer with the Direct Action Network, planning protests against the World Trade Organization in Seattle, I echoed the slogan, "Let our resistance be as transnational as capital." Standing before these twenty-five students, though, I realized that those well-intended words would make about as much sense as those on their next vocabulary quiz.
That particular school, located in the 'bad' part of town, sticks out in my mind. Above all, I remember the rundown facilities, the lack of computers, and the students struggling to keep up with their rote assignments from outdated textbooks. There, irony merged with inequity. Still, the students were enthusiastic, helpful, and sincere—more so than in most other schools at which I've worked.
A week later, the inequity was unmistakable as I found myself at the high school, largely white and upper middle class, on the opposite side of town. With two computers in my classroom (and abundantly stocked computer labs elsewhere), not to mention newer textbooks, I was in a completely different world. At one point, during a class discussion about the Great Depression, a young white man offered his view of a major difference between the US in the 1930's and now: "today, most people own stock." Around him, many students nodded in agreement. Obviously, most people they know own stock. I suspect that the eighth-graders in my social studies classes at the first school would have a different take on the matter.
Students at both institutions, no doubt, experience the iron grip that school has on their daily lives—"bars on the windows and chains on the doors," as one young man puts it. We shouldn't forget that. However, for the white middle-class students, circumstances are mitigated by their race and class, their access to resources, indeed their insulation. Not so for those low income students of color. For them, a lack of resources compounds the social inequalities that already surround their lives.
The bite in this irony is that it's more than an illustrative word choice; it has to do with the very real forms of privilege, power, and oppression that young people see and feel every day. For me, the bite is that at times all I can do is bear witness.
Lessons and Limits
Some of the most important lessons have to do with openness and honesty. That sounds corny but it's true. I'm not certified, I don't have years of classroom teaching experience, and I don't try to pretend otherwise. Moreover, I sympathize with students. So I don't hide my distaste for issuing bathroom passes, taking attendance, and assigning busywork. I'm clear about who I am and how I feel.
Students usually return the favor. One day in a geography class, for instance, I noticed a young man sitting quietly at his desk while most of the other students busily worked on extra credit assignments. Walking over, I asked if he was okay. Sincerely, he replied that on most days he "worked hard," but on that day he needed to "take a break." We agreed that it was unfortunate that he had to have his break in a place like school. Certainly I can think of plenty of ways that I could have "managed" that situation, but none so open and honest.
Beyond myself and my interactions, I've learned that there is something else to be open and honest about in the classroom—the limits of educators. At their best, even full-time teachers face institutional constraints. With thousands of students crammed into one building, with uniform class periods and just minutes for kids to rush in between, with racially and class-stratified tracking systems—with all of this and more, even the most dedicated teachers have limits to what they can accomplish. For subs, it's double. One day in the life of a school is barely enough time to get comfortable in a classroom, much less influence an institution.
As a rad sub, then, I recognize my limits. Alone, I can't transform the schools where I work or fundamentally change the lives of my students. But I can encourage student reflection, honestly present myself, and—with others—struggle outside the classroom to change social conditions that affect us inside the classroom. The alternative is to approach teaching simply as a 'social service,' momentarily improving students' lives—justified, of course, but insufficient. As teacher Stan Karp asks, "Is our job essentially to create 'safe spaces' inside an often ineffective and oppressive educational system?" Clearly not, which means that those of us who are educators have to keep learning lessons as well as pushing and probing our limits. This is radical subbing, indeed radical teaching, at its best.
Seeds of Hope
Being a rad sub can be difficult, tiring, even depressing. I come back, though, because it gives me hope. I can count on the fact that each day I spend in the classroom I will have at least one experience that will make it all worthwhile, whether it's a conversation with a student, a critical class discussion, or a shared laugh. That's how I understand bell hooks when she writes, "learning is a place where paradise can be created"—not in the sense that a school can be a perfect, cheery place, but, rather, a place of possibility.
Hope usually comes in glimmers, occasionally in the most unlikely circumstances. I was fortunate, for example, to be subbing one day in a discussion-based world history class in which students were going over the rise of Hitler and the Holocaust—hardly inspirational topics, for sure. In the midst of it all, one student intently asked how a country like Germany comes to terms with such a legacy. Leaping in, I pointed out that the US has its own comparable holocaust—the relocation and genocide of the indigenous inhabitants of North America. With some gasps, a brief uncomfortable silence, and then many slow nods, students began seriously discussing and grappling with that legacy, one which affects us all. Moments like that sustain me.
Hope comes in other forms, too. For one, I remember that I don't work in a vacuum. Through chance social encounters, random sub calls, and friends of friends, I've met a diverse array of deeply committed progressive educators. For example, after giving a speech about mounting struggles against capitalist globalization at a local church, I was surprised when a number of activist teachers "outed" themselves to me. Some are radical simply in caring enough about their students to build inclusive, participatory classrooms. Others have more explicitly political orientations and analyses. And there is a lively spectrum in between. Beyond all of them, I also realize that there are other radical educators and students doing incredible work that I will likely never hear about.
Moreover, the political climate is changing. Many younger radicals like me are even tentatively referring to "the movement," that is, the burgeoning and at times uneasy coalition that challenged the WTO in Seattle, confronted the World Bank and International Monetary Fund in Prague, and disrupted the Summit of the Americas in Quebec City. It's altogether unlike anything we've seen in the last twenty-five years. And although still absorbed in birthing convulsions, it's growing, changing, learning. I never forget that what I do in the classroom is directly connected to those struggles, which are global in scale.
My experience in the classroom, in fact, reassures me that those struggles are vital. I think, in particular, of an economics class for which I subbed. About halfway through a lesson, I noticed the vacant stares as I wielded supply and demand charts. "Tell me," I asked, "why is economics so boring for you?" Slowly but surely, students came up with answers: the way it's taught, how abstract it is, the examples used. Finally, one said, "if we had more control over economics, we might care." At that, many agreed. Unknowingly, they had leveled a fundamental critique of capitalism—one that we used, incidentally, in the streets of Seattle.
I'm not blithely hopeful. To my core, I'm still an unrepentant punk rock kid, relentlessly critical of schools. My mind rarely drifts far from the students I've seen who fall through the cracks—the bored young man who played video games through an entire mind-numbing geography assignment or the driven young woman who looked tiredly upon another dreary chapter in her social studies textbook. While unforgiving of the institutional constraints and structural inequalities of schools, though, I remain equally hopeful about what can be accomplished.
I'm sure some of this hope is related to the potential of those who are still young. And I admit that there is nothing new about seeing the possibilities of the future in the eyes of youth. But I hold out. I see a promise—not in kids that can be manipulated to accept my or anyone else's version of a 'better world,' but in young people who can learn the skills to grasp their own destinies and work together to challenge and change prevailing social, political, and economic orders.
As a rad sub, I try to do my part. With a growing awareness of classroom politics, biting ironies, and critical lessons, I enter schools. With openness and honesty, I work with students. And collaboratively, we sow seeds of subversion—sometimes imperceptible, sometimes overwhelming—which are unmistakably seeds of hope.

Q: Why can't I copy a value from one XYSeriesCollection to other? I'm using JFreeChart to create an image histogram in java swing. In order to create it I iterate over all pixels to get all the colors. Depending on the size and bit depth it takes some time.
Once I have all the data I put it into a XYSeriesCollection variable. To be able to show and hide some series latter I save a copy of that variable.
My problem is that if I do it like this:
final XYSeriesCollection data = createHistogram();
final XYSeriesCollection dataCopy = createHistogram();

It works without any problem, but it is not efficient, as I have to iterate over all pixels and that takes a while.
If I just copy it like this:
final XYSeriesCollection data = createHistogram();
final XYSeriesCollection dataCopy = data;

When I execute the code I get this exception:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Series index out of bounds
at org.jfree.data.xy.XYSeriesCollection.getSeries(XYSeriesCollection.java:263)

I think that this is because when I delete the series from data some how they also get deleted from dataCopy but shouldn't those be completely different? I just work with this methods:
data.removeAllseries();
data.addSeries(dataCopy.getSeries(index));

For example if I create:
int x = 5;
int y = x;
x=0;
System.out.println(y)

The output should still be  5 and it doesn't matter what I did with x. What am I doing or assuming that is wrong?
Thank you.

A: Note the difference between shallow versus deep copy. Your example, dataCopy = data, makes a shallow copy. Use the dataset's clone() method to make a deep copy:
XYSeriesCollection dataCopy = (XYSeriesCollection) data.clone();

You can see how clone() is implemented here. The fragment below creates a series, clones it, and updates the original to illustrate the effect.
Code:
XYSeriesCollection data = new XYSeriesCollection();
XYSeries series = new XYSeries("Test");
data.addSeries(series);
series.add(1, 42);
System.out.println(data.getSeries(0).getY(0));
XYSeriesCollection dataCopy = (XYSeriesCollection) data.clone();
series.updateByIndex(0, 21.0);
System.out.println(data.getSeries(0).getY(0));
System.out.println(dataCopy.getSeries(0).getY(0));

Console:
42.0
21.0
42.0

Also consider the approach shown here, which may be faster.

Saccawu frets over Walmart's 'anti-union philosophy'
There is serious concern that Walmart will use its muscle to pursue its "anti-union philosophy" if its merger with local retailer Massmart goes ahead in its current form, the Competition Appeal Court heard on Friday.
Senior counsel Paul Kennedy, representing the South African Commercial, Catering, and Allied Workers' Union (Saccawu), said that despite undertakings by the merging parties, there were concerns about employment, protection of worker benefits, and protection of the right to representation by their union.
"There is serious concern that Walmart uses its muscle to pursue its anti-union stance," Kennedy said.
Walmart had a reputation and its approach could minimise rather than advance jobs, he said, adding that 1.3-million Walmart workers in the United States were not unionised.
Walmart's approach and philosophy was a problem and the reason why structural intervention was appropriate, he said. Structural remedies had to be put in place to protect workers.
Judge Denis Davis said Walmart employees were unionised in Chile and added South Africa's labour laws guaranteed the rights of workers.
"Why do you have so little confidence in your client's ability to organise?" he asked.
Walmart and Massmart resumed their merger battle against three government departments and a union in the court on Friday.
Earlier Davis grilled Kennedy over whether it was possible for the merged company to have information about the effect the transaction would have on manufacturers in South Africa.
Davis has asked the government, unions, and the merging parties to consider what remedy they would accept to allow the merger to go ahead.
"There is no need to send it back to the tribunal if we can find a solution," Davis said.
"What remedy would be most expeditious? What relief can we bring about that will meet everyone's interest?"
Davis said the court had the option of refusing the appeal, changing the conditions attached to the tribunal's approval, or agreeing to a review of the proceedings — which would involve a new hearing by the tribunal.
"Sending this back to the Competition Tribunal causes me some anxiety," he said.
There was no real evidence about what would happen after the merger.
"None of us has the foggiest idea about what the ultimate total welfare is after the merger," he said.
Inadequate conditions
The Competition Tribunal ruled on May 31 that Walmart, the world's biggest retailer, could proceed with the deal on condition no jobs were cut for two years and the companies set up a R100-million fund to assist local suppliers.
The government said the conditions were inadequate and would result in a massive influx of imports that would undermine manufacturing output.
The appeal against the tribunal's decision was brought by the departments of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries; economic development; trade and industry; as well as Saccawu.
Saccawu has filed a separate appeal against the approval of the takeover of Massmart on the grounds that the tribunal failed to take adequate consideration of the public interest.
Walmart paid R16.5-billion in June for a 51%t stake in Massmart, South Africa's biggest food and general goods wholesaler.
The company said the deal would create 15 000 jobs in South Africa within five years. Most of the R60-billion it would spend on buying food and consumer goods would be sourced from local suppliers. — Sapa

Finding a new job requires job seekers to present themselves in the best manner. Two key documents in job searches include resumes and cover letters. These documents work together to secure the job interview and, hopefully, desired job offers. The following webinar, Resume and cover letter secrets to help you land more job interviews and offers, discusses differences between resumes and cover letters, shares resume and cover letter tips, and offers additional advice to job seekers.
This webinar features Jimmy Sweeney, CEO, who helps job seekers land more job interviews and job offers. The webinar is moderated by Andrea McEwen Henderson, former National Account Manager for College Recruiter.
1. Keep cover letters "short, sweet, and personal" and make sure to close letters by clearly and directly asking for the opportunity to be interviewed.
2. Begin sentences on your resume with "action verbs" that focus on highlighting specific results you've achieved. Examples: Created, Generated, Designed, Produced, and Organized.
3. Be proactive in your job search. As long as you are respectful and professional, dare to be different. Use the telephone, email, or snail mail. Ask for the interview; ask for the job. Be upbeat, passionate, and caring. Make it a habit to follow up ALL communications and interviews with an email or a handwritten note to automatically double your odds of getting noticed, interviewed, and hired.
Tell me a little about your marketing background and why you decided to apply marketing strategies to the job search process.
My background is in direct marketing, advertising, and sales for over 20 years. Most people's documents I have reviewed were overly professional and boring and don't allow you to get a feel for the person. By using a few proven key ingredients to help a friend's resume and cover letter stand out, my friend landed several interviews and the job he was searching for. I realized how many job seekers could benefit from this marketing approach to their job hunt. I applied marketing strategies to resumes and cover letters that have helped job seekers all across the globe.
What are the main differences between a cover letter and a resume, and what is the purpose of each?
The main difference between a cover letter and a resume is that a cover letter grabs an employer's attention and interest in a candidate, which leads to whether or not the employer decides to review the candidate's resume. The cover letter and resume work together to land the job interview and, hopefully, the job offer.
What are three unique cover letter tips that would help a person to land more job interviews?
1. Grab attention with a centered, bold headline.
2. Keep your letter short, sweet, and friendly. Show your passion; list at least one skill that matches the job description.
3. Close your cover letter by clearly and directly asking to be interviewed for the job.
What are three unique resume tips that would help a person to land more job interviews and job offers?
1. Use an objective or summary statement at the top to grab attention.
2. Use the exact job title and specific keywords (and associated keywords) in your resume so it comes up in searches.
3. Emphasize results. Start off sentences with action verbs. Tell an employer what you've accomplished.
Do you have any other advice for a person that is struggling to land a job?
Follow up on all communications with an email or handwritten note; job seekers can double their chances of landing job interviews and job offers. Also, network with friends and colleagues, and ask for help. Ask if you can help them too. Be the attractive personality that every company is looking to hire.

Can I connect and sync my existing database using OpenSync?
To effectively move data to and from QuickBooks, there are myriad fields that need to be accounted for. Even if your database miraculously had all these fields present, it would still require you – through OpenSync – to complete an arduous and non-trivial process of mapping your data field to QuickBooks fields.
Our database is modeled directly against the full QuickBooks XML specification and therefore is set up, out of the box, to handle every transaction, entity, and list item the API makes available to us. We felt creating our own sync database was the most reliable and effective means of implementing a QuickBooks sync solution.
You would then write to and query from our database in order to read and write to your QuickBooks company file. For developers looking to integrate DIRECTLY with an existing database and would like to eliminate the OpenSync bridge solution, we recommend our CoreObjX library. It is a wrapper for the complex QB XML API and allows you to read and write directly to QuickBooks with as few lines of code as possible.

In Signal to the US, North Korea Tests New Long-Range Cruise Missiles

North Korea test-launched newly developed long-range cruise missiles over the weekend, just after an unusual military parade.

North Korea successfully test-launched newly developed long-range cruise missiles over the weekend, according to Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the country's state-controlled media. The test is an indication that last week's unusual military parade – during which no new weapons were displayed – does not imply any change in Pyongyang's hardline stance on negotiations with the United States and South Korea.
KCNA said that the missiles flew 1,500 km for 7,580 seconds (roughly 2 hours and 6 minutes) and hit their intended targets. If true, it means that South Korea and Japan can be easily targeted with the new North Korean cruise missiles.
"The development of the long-range cruise missiles, a strategic weapon, which is of great significance in attaining the main goal of the five-year plan for the development of national defense science and weapons system presented at the Eighth Party Congress, has been promoted according to the scientific and reliable weapon system development process over the past two years," KCNA said.
KCNA also said that the development of the weapon system is of strategic significance as it is another effective deterrent ensuring the security of North Korea and overpowering the anti-North Korea military moves of so-called hostile forces. The eye-catching point of the test is that it was the North's first test of long-range cruise missiles that could be "nuclear-capable," according to the KCNA report.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff and the U.S. military confirmed the test but did not mention whether or not they detected it in advance. Considering both countries were accused of failing to detect the cruise missile launch in March, experts say they might have failed to detect the launch again. It is highly unlikely that existing air defense systems would detect cruise missiles, which are self-propelled, allowing them to fly at lower altitudes and along a straighter path than ballistic missiles.
KCNA claimed that the test successfully proved the effectiveness and practicality of the new weapon system, as the test missiles hit the targets. However, the news report did not mention where the missiles were launched nor what the targets were. The detailed specification of the missiles involved have not been confirmed. Regardless of the lack of information on the North's newly developed cruise missiles, it is the North certainly has the capability to develop such missiles – and a successful test means Pyongyang can evade the U.S. and South Korea's current air defense systems.
Mason Richey, a professor of International and Area Studies at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in Seoul, told The Diplomat that the North's newly developed cruise missile is likely capable of carrying a nuclear as well as a conventional warhead.
"Cruise missiles like this one fly low to evade detection by radar and other sensors, which thus provides a greater probability of evading missile defense. It would be therefore be another tool in Pyongyang's toolkit for putting pressure on combined U.S.-ROK deterrence," Richey said.
The North test-fired cruise missiles on Saturday and Sunday, when Americans were marking the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks – one of the worst tragedies in U.S. history. It's notable that North Korea didn't introduce its new weapons in the military parade on Thursday but chose to wait until September 11. Given that timing, this launch was arguably aimed purely at showing North Korea's intention and motivation toward negotiations with the United States.
"North Korea prefers to enter negotiations from a position of leverage, so having this additional capability in the background of any overture to talks would, in Pyongyang's likely perception, give it greater strength and allow it to drive a harder bargain," Richey said.
It is also notable that the North test-launched cruise missiles, which are not covered by U.N. sanctions on the country and thus tend to provoke a less urgent response than ballistic missile tests.
North Korea has made clear that it will never come back to the negotiating table unless the U.S. makes concessions, including removing "unclear" hostile policies. Even though Sung Kim, the U.S. special envoy on North Korea, has consistently mentioned that he will be willing to sit down with his North Korean counterparts anytime, anywhere, with no preconditions, Pyongyang has been adamant in rejecting every message from Washington and Seoul since the failed Hanoi Summit in 2019.
The failed round of summit diplomacy between Washington and Pyongyang stalled inter-Korean dialogues as well, and that changed perceptions among South Koreans over the way to negotiate with North Korea. Unlike President Moon Jae-in's Korea Peace Initiative, which shuns military coercion, South Korean analysts have started seriously considering the redeployment of U.S. tactical nuclear weapons to Korean soil as an effective bargaining chip for denuclearization.
According to a poll by Asan Institute for Policy Studies, an independent think tank based in South Korea, nearly 70 percent of respondents supported developing an indigenous nuclear capability, while 61 percent supported reintroducing tactical nuclear weapons.
The South Korean government has a long-pending plan to take wartime operational control (currently held by U.S. Forces Korea) and develop more advanced weapons. But a growing number of South Koreans believe national security against the North's nuclear weapons can only be guaranteed through the reintroduction of tactical nuclear weapons, even though the U.S. has been providing invisible "nuclear umbrella" since withdrawing its nuclear missiles from South Korean in 1991. There is increasing skepticism that economic sanctions alone can be a powerful bargaining chip when the North has nuclear weapons and the South does not.
However, as North Korea has not violated the "red lines" of the United States, there is little likelihood of the U.S. redeploying tactical nuclear weapons to the South's territory for the time being, even as North Korea continues to develop more advanced missiles.
"The cruise missile launch does not constitute a serious military provocation, which usually indicates ICBM [intercontinental-range ballistic missile] or nuclear tests," said Kim Young-jun, a professor of Korea National Defense University and a member of the National Security Advisory Board for the Presidential Blue House, in an interview with The Diplomat.
Kim also said that such a missile launch could take place again but predicted that the North would not make significant military provocations between now and early 2022, when China will be looking to host a successful Olympics.
"North Korea is likely expected to accept the prolonged 'cold peace' for a while as it is banned from participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics," Kim said.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is going to visit Seoul on Wednesday and will meet with his South Korean counterpart, Chung Eui-yong. Also, the special envoys of the U.S., South Korea, and Japan on North Korea are going to gather in Tokyo on Tuesday to reaffirm trilateral cooperation on North Korea issues. As bilateral negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang have stalled, it is time for neighboring countries to reactivate multilateral cooperation, including four-party talks or six-party talks, to settle a permanent détente on the Korean Peninsula.

Home Uncategorized First Annaual Snorkel Store Scholarship Finalists and WINNER!
First off, I'd like to apologize. We were running a little late with the Snorkel Scholarship results. We got a lot of great applications from a lot of extraordinary people. The reason we were behind is that we were getting applications up until the very last minute. We wanted to make sure that we gave each and every applicant their due process. This meant that after applications that came later, we then had to go back and compare and gauge each and every application to all of the others. Again. LOL. We loved it, though, and enjoyed each and every application.
For what it's worth, we plan on doing this every year. Next year we'll definitely add another category so that we can hand out 2 scholarships; 1 to a high school senior and one to a post grad.
We preferred those with complete and accurate applications.
We preferred those essay with a personal touch as well as passion.
We preferred essays that followed the directions in the scholarship page and talked less about the applicant and more about the content we requested.
The 3 finalists were Casey, Haley and Zachary.
Because some people sent their essays in as PDF, we're unable to post the essays on the site so we're just going to NOT publish any of the essays.
The Winner of the 1st Annual Snorkel Scholarship is Casey H from California.
Casey had a great resume, a great essay and a great letter of recommendation!
Congrats, Casey and we'll be in touch in the next 24hrs!

'I felt I could contribute more to society'
27th Jul 2018/ Gia Kalk / Homecomer Stories
Born to a Sierra Leonean/Ghanaian father and American mother, Cordie sold all of her belongings, cashed out on her retirement fund and showed up at Accra's Kotoka International airport with 4 pieces of luggage ready to begin a new life in 2011.
Though raised in the United States, her father planted a love for Africa within her. After attaining a Master's degree in Communications, Cordie worked in that field in America with her career path eventually leading her to work for the United States Congress Committee on Homeland Security. Here, her passion for Africa was rekindled with intensity. Working for one of the most powerful organizations in the world was very humbling, but also very frustrating at times as a member of the African Diaspora, seeing many African countries not getting what they deserved.
On repatriating, Cordie says 100% "do it!" Cordie came to Ghana because she felt she could be a greater contributor to society. She warns candidly though that one must ensure they are financially ready to make the move. She was able to find her feet in the initial two years while living off savings.
Dabbling in a few business ideas including marketing consulting, she eventually found her purpose in waste management and founded Environment 360 in 2014. Four years later, the organization is known for creating the first successful community plastics recycling program and is sought out by multi-national and diplomatic agencies to run projects. "I must say it is an amazing feeling to know that we are impacting so many lives and creating opportunity for so many people."
Cordie is a member of Ahaspora, a community of young Ghanaian professionals who have lived or been educated outside Ghana and have returned home.
About Ahaspora
We want to use our knowledge, skills, and resources to make Ghana a better place to live. "Aha" is an Akan word for "Here" and "Spora" is a stem of Diaspora. This name befits our new status of being home, but coming from and having the mindset of the Diaspora. By bridging the gap between us who left and those who held the fort, we aim to share ideas and experiences in building a true "Gateway to Africa".
To provide a support system for young Ghanaian professionals and like-minded individuals who are thinking about or have returned home, and to provide a forum for this group to positively impact our country individually and as a collective group. Our underlying theme is "Changing Mindsets, Channeling our Future" stemmed from our belief that by fostering informed minds through giving back, Ghana's future is poised to be great.
