Singapore, 3 March 2016 – Despite more women than men in Asia Pacific having tertiary education, there still exists a large gender gap that hinders women from achieving their full economic potential be it through participation in the workforce or presence in leadership positions, according to the latest MasterCard Index of Women's Advancement being released in the lead-up to International Women's Day.
In 12 out of 18 Asia Pacific markets, women outnumber men in university education gross enrolment rate, with Sri Lanka (164.0), New Zealand (141.8) and Australia (137.5) taking the top spots. Significant progress has been made in Indonesia with enrolment in advanced education having grown from 87.2 in 2007 to 105.1 in 2016. However, educational attainment is not translating into workforce participation in many markets. More women than men are entering university in New Zealand, China and the Philippines, but women are still much less likely to be in the workforce.
Overall New Zealand ranked first (78.0), followed by Australia (76.0) and the Philippines (71.4). At the other end of spectrum, Japan (49.5), Bangladesh (45.5), Sri Lanka (44.3), India (38.0) and Pakistan (23.4) had Index scores indicating that much more can be done to achieve gender parity.
The Index measures the socioeconomic standing of women across 18 Asia Pacific markets[1] and is comprised of three main indicators which are derived from additional sub- indicators: Capability (Secondary Education, Tertiary Education), Employment (Workforce Participation, Regular Employment) and Leadership (Business Owners, Business Leaders, Political leaders). The scores above show the proportion of women to every 100 men. A score of 100 indicates equality between the sexes.
"Gender gaps in access to education have narrowed over the years, but we still have a long way to go before women across Asia Pacific are equally represented in business and politics. The lack of critical mass in women's representation and participation in the economy – coupled with the inadequate and inconsistent implementation of equality legislation – continues to be the biggest challenge for women and is reflected across all markets irrespective of the pace of economic development," said Georgette Tan, Group Head, Communications, Asia Pacific, MasterCard. "Access is crucial to integrating female talent in the economy as women still don't have the same access to job opportunities or even social networks as men. A range of factors impacting the economic contributions made by women in the workforce also need to be addressed including country-specific socio-cultural factors, traditional beliefs, and government policies. Closing the gender equality gap and leveling the employment playing field would benefit not just women, but the global economy as a whole."
For the 10th consecutive year, New Zealand (78.0), Australia (76.0) and the Philippines (71.4) continue to have the highest overall Index scores.
Apart from the top three markets and Singapore (70.0), all other markets in Asia Pacific had scores below the 70-point mark with Japan (49.5) and four South Asia markets – Bangladesh (45.5), Sri Lanka (44.3), India (38.0) and Pakistan (23.4) – among the lowest and only markets scoring below 50 points.
Compared to the previous year, women in New Zealand made the most progress overall (78.0, up 0.7 points), followed by Japan (49.5, up 0.5 points), Nepal (62.5, up 0.5 points) and Bangladesh (45.5, up 0.4 points), while declines were recorded in Sri Lanka (44.3, down 0.7 points), Malaysia (52.7, down 0.4 points) which reached the lowest it has in five years, and also in China (66.3, down 0.2 points).
Of the three components, Capability remains the strongest indicator of Asia Pacific women's advancement towards gender parity for the tenth consecutive year with seven markets scoring 100 points (New Zealand, Philippines, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Nepal).
With the exception of South Korea (86.6), the Capability index scores for all markets in the region are above 90.0.
Women in New Zealand, Thailand, Philippines and Taiwan have consistently been on par or better represented in secondary and tertiary institutions than their male counterparts since 2007.
Indonesia (99.1) and Hong Kong (98.5) continue to make positive steps towards greater educational attainment with their scores edging closer to parity.
On the other hand, women in Pakistan (86.2), South Korea (86.6) and Bangladesh (89.3) have much fewer opportunities than men when it comes to secondary and tertiary education.
Women's progress in Employment remains broadly stagnant across Asia Pacific.
Of the 18 Asia Pacific markets, New Zealand (91.4), Australia (91.0) and Taiwan (90.7) continue to be the most economically active with highest access to regular formal employment. They are the closest to being on par with their respective male cohorts in terms of Workforce Participation and Regular Employment.
With the exception of Malaysia, women in developing markets such as Vietnam (90.2), China (83.2) and Thailand (80.4) are more likely to be working (formal or informal) than women in the advanced economies of Japan (69.6) and Korea (69.2).
The low Employment scores for Japan and Korea suggest that the cultural bias against women working is fairly strong in these societies. However, this trend is anticipated to gradually change in the coming years with the governments in both markets taking steps to raise the level of women's participation in the workforce.
Leadership remains the weakest component in women's progress towards gender parity.
New Zealand (51.9) and Australia (50.2) are the only two markets with more than 50 women business owners/ business leaders/ government leaders for every 100 male business owners/ business leaders/ government leaders. The Philippines is not far behind at 47.2 points.
New Zealand saw the biggest increase in score from a year ago (51.9, up 1.3 points) while China (34.7), Malaysia (19.8) and Sri Lanka (13.1) recorded declines of 0.1, 0.6 and 0.7 points, respectively.
Of the 18 Asia Pacific markets, women in Malaysia (19.8), Korea (19.5), Bangladesh (17.2), Japan (15.2), Sri Lanka (13.1), India (12.2) and Pakistan (3.5) continue to face tremendous hurdles in making progress in leadership in the business and political spheres.
Notably, the Philippines (90.9) scores significantly higher than all other Asia Pacific markets for business leadership, with New Zealand (66.4) and Australia (56.9) trailing behind.
Business ownership is the highest among Nepalese women (72.5), followed by Australia (50.7) – these are the only two markets with more than 50 women business owners for every 100 male business owners.

Scores are indexed to 100 males to indicate how close or how far women in each of the Asia Pacific markets covered by the research are to achieving socio-economic parity with men. A score under 100 indicates gender inequality in favor of males while a score above 100 indicates inequality in favor of females. A score of 100 indicates equality between the sexes.

Pioneer (military)
[1][2]French pioneer during the Napoleonic Wars.A pioneer ( /ˌpaɪ.əˈnɪər/) is a soldier employed to perform engineering and construction tasks. The term is in principle similar to sapper.
Pioneers were originally part of the artillery branch of European armies. Subsequently, they formed part of the engineering branch, in the logistic branch, part of the infantry; or comprised a branch in their own right.
Historically the primary role of pioneer units was to assist other arms in tasks such as the construction of field fortifications, military camps, bridges and roads.[1] Prior to and during the First World War pioneers were often engaged in the construction and repair of military railways.[2]
During the 20th century British Commonwealth military forces have come to distinguish between small units of "assault pioneers" belonging to infantry regiments and separate pioneer units (as in the former Royal Pioneer Corps). The United States Marine Corps have sometimes organized their sappers into "Pioneer Battalions".[3]

History of the word Edit
The word pioneer is originally from France.
The word (French: pionnier) was borrowed into English, from Old French pionnier, which meant a "foot soldier", from the root 'peon'[4] recorded in 1523.[5] It was used in a military sense as early as 1626–1627.[6]In the late 18th century Captain George Smith defined the term as: PIONEERS, in war-time, are such as are commanded in from the country, to march with an army, for mending the ways, for working on entrenchments, fortifications, and for making mines and approaches: the soldiers are likewise employed in all these things. Most of the foreign regiments of artillery have half a company of pioneers, well instructed in that important branch of duty. Our regiments of infantry and cavalry have 3 or 4 pioneers each, provided with aprons, hatchets, saws, spades, and pick-axes.[7]

Pioneer regiments in the Indian Army Edit
Extensive use was made of pioneers in the British Indian Army because of the demands of campaigning in difficult terrain with little or no infrastructure. In 1780 two companies of pioneers were raised in Madras, increasing to 16 in 1803 divided into two battalions. Bombay and Bengal pioneers were formed during the same period. In the late nineteenth century a number of existing Indian infantry regiments took the title and the construction role of pioneers[15]. The twelve Indian Pioneer regiments in existence in 1914 were trained and equipped for road, rail and engineering work, as well as for conventional infantry service. While this dual function did not qualify them to be regarded as elite units, the frequency with which they saw active service made postings to pioneer regiments popular with British officers[16].
Prior to World War I each sepoy in a Pioneer regiment carried a pickaxe or a light spade in special leather equipment as well as rifle and bayonet. NCOs and buglers carried axes, saws and billhooks. Heavier equipment such as explosives was carried by mule. The unit was therefore well equipped for simple field engineering tasks, as well as being able to defend itself in hostile territory. During the War the increased specialisation required of Pioneers made them too valuable to use as regular assault infantry. Accordingly in 1929 the Pioneer regiments were taken out of the line infantry and grouped into the Corps of Madras Pioneers (four battalions), the Corps of Bombay Pioneers (four battalions), the Corps of Sikhs Pioneers (four battalions), and the Corps of Hazara Pioneers (one battalion)[17].
All four Pioneer Corps were disbanded in 1933 and their personnel mostly transferred into the Corps of Sappers and Miners, whose role they had come to parallel. An Indian Pioneer Corps was re-established in 1943
Pioneers in the British Army Edit
Historically, British infantry regiments maintained small units of pioneers for heavy work and engineering, especially for clearing paths through forests and for leading assaults on fortifications. These units evolved into assault pioneers. They also inspired the creation of the Royal Pioneer Corps.
The Royal Pioneer Corps was a British Army combatant corps used for light engineering tasks. The Royal Pioneer Corps was raised on 17 October 1939 as the Auxiliary Military Pioneer Corps. It was renamed the Pioneer Corps on 22 November 1940. It was renamed the Royal Pioneer Corps on 28 November 1946. On 5 April 1993, the Royal Pioneer Corps united with other units to form the Royal Logistics Corps.
There are currently 3 specialist pioneer units in the Royal Logistics Corps.
23 Pioneer Regiment based at Bicester, Oxfordshire
The ARRC Support Battalion based at Imjin Barracks, Innsworth (previously at Rheindahlen Military Complex, Germany until June 2010)[18]
168 Pioneer Regiment a specialist pioneer regiment in the Territorial Army, formed in 1995 with headquarters at Grantham.
All British infantry regiments still maintain assault pioneer units.
Israeli Army Edit
The Israeli army has a unit called the Fighting Pioneer Youth, in Hebrew Noar Halutzi Lohem or just "Nahal". This unit is an infantry brigade. The title of Israeli military pioneers is a back-derivation from the civilian term: The Israeli army's pioneers were formed in 1948 from Jewish civilian pioneers, i.e. settlers, who were permitted to combine military service and farming.

The Wihuri International Prize is awarded to people who have in some way furthered the cultural and economic development in Finland. The Foundation has awarded International Prize to mostly Finnish and foreign scientists. Mathematician Professor Rolf Nevanlinna was the first person to be awarded the Wihuri International Prize on October 9th 1958.


The work that the Waubra Foundation has achieved is admirable and should be an inspiration for all not-for-profits around the world. This foundation has sought the truth.
It has come to my attention that the ACNC Assistant David Locke has ruled that the Waubra Foundation is not a Health Promotion Charity. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I look to you to right this wrong.
Furthermore David Locke's assertion that "to date there has been no rigorous independent scientific evidence that finds that the ill health complained of is caused by the physiological effects from wind turbines" is just plain incorrect.
I am a CEO of a United States health care consulting and quality improvement company with a national reach which was formed in 1979. I have worked with teams of experts throughout the United States to develop numerous nation-wide educational programs in the health care sector.
I have now interviewed over 200 people in 15 countries around the world including people living in the proximity of wind turbines, health care professionals, researchers, scientists, politicians, journalists, environmentalists, and advocates.
In all of the countries we visited, we found clusters of people living in the proximity of wind turbines that report the same symptoms, using the same words and gestures.
I have worked with my legislators and they have sponsored bills to study the adverse health effects of wind turbines. I have amassed over 300 peer reviewed articles, reports, white papers and other pertinent information regarding the adverse health impacts of wind turbines. Please find attached a graphic showing the adverse impacts documented in my state alone.
The work that the Waubra Foundation has achieved is admirable and should be an inspiration for all not-for-profits around the world. This foundation has sought the truth. The work of the Waubra Foundation is as deserving of a not-for-profit status as any foundation in any place in the world. I sincerely hope that you will confirm that the Waubra Foundation is well deserving a not-for-profit status. I also hope that you will do the right thing and also issue a sincere apology for the mistake of Assistant David Locke.

Q: XML text Editor - Text Box I would like to design one xml text editor which is based on normal text-box which implements all XML characteristics(i.e., it should implement intelligence to differentiate the text colors by node_name,attribute_name,attribute_value and it should check proper closing the tag).
Can any one give me the idea how I could process the each and every character entered by the user(normally we can call the TextBox1_TextChanged event after fully entered the text in text-box but I need to call this event each and every character entry)? I am good in C#, so that I have decided to transform the control to coding page because I already did one editor using console application which read the input character from the user and change the text color.
I might be wrong to approach this problem like this way so, give your suggestions, valuable reference links and ideas to accomplish this editor.
If you know any plugins to do this task please inform me
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
--SJ

A: Use a Rich Text Box and handle the KeyDown event for character processing.
Rich Text Box will allow you to do syntax highlighting, text formatting, etc.
I would also validate entered xml for correctness and possibly highlight incorrect syntax to the user if validation fails.
All this is going to required effort, i am not aware of any QUICK solution. But using the basics i've suggested here, you could achieve what you require if you put in the effort.

Howell's Maddie Gillett grateful to be back after missing junior season with injury.
HARTLAND — Maddie Gillett tried to be a good teammate, but it's hard for an athlete to fully enjoy a team's success from the outside looking in.
Gillett, who set a school record with 65 RBI one year earlier, missed her entire junior softball season at Howell after tearing her anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus during the first day of volleyball tryouts.
She watched as her teammates and best friends rolled to a berth in the state Division 1 semifinals at Michigan State University.
Howell's mission this season is to get back to MSU and make it to the final day.
Nobody who watched the Highlanders tee off against one of the best pitchers and teams in the state Friday doubts that they will get at least that far come June.
Howell pulled off a stunner, scoring 13 runs in the fifth inning on its way to a 20-2 rout of last year's state Division 1 runner-up. Hartland beat Howell two days earlier, 4-2.
Gillett went 3-for-4 and blasted a two-run homer, one of three round-trippers by the Highlanders in the fifth inning against all-stater Rachel Everett.
Gillett has picked up where she left off as a sophomore, going 4-for-7 with three RBI in Howell's first two games.
She missed the high school season, but returned after 11 months off to play summer softball.
"I'm glad I'm back my senior year," Gillett said. "I wouldn't trade it for the world. My junior year, whatever, I've got one more year to go.
The biggest blow in Howell's 13-run fifth inning was a grand slam over the fence in center field by sophomore Maddie Springer.
Springer has caught Everett as teammates in travel ball, so she knew more about the Hartland pitcher's tendencies than any scouting report could reveal.
"I've played with Rachel for about five years now and I've caught for her, so I know what she throws," Springer said. "I was just expecting that pitch, and I jumped on it.
Rosie McQueen had Howell's other home run, a two-run shot.
While Hartland and Howell split their season-opening two-game series, the manner in which the Eagles were thrashed Friday could leave an emotional scar.
Hartland watched as its top pitcher, who was so dominant last year, gave up 13 runs (nine earned), 11 hits and three home runs. Even before that inning, Howell already held a 7-1 lead against a team that allowed more than six runs only twice in 39 games last season.
Eagles coach Taylor Wagner put Friday's ugliness in perspective.
Hartland had beaten Howell four straight times, including a 6-4 decision in the state semifinals last season.

I Hear America Singing.
I HEAR America singing, the varied carols I hear;
Those of mechanics-each one singing his, as it should be, blithe and strong;
The carpenter singing his, as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his, as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work;
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat-the deckhand singing on the steamboat
deck;
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench-the hatter singing as he stands;
The wood-cutter's song-the ploughboy's, on his way in the morning, or at the noon
intermission, or at sundown;
The delicious singing of the mother-or of the young wife at work-or of the girl sewing or
washing-Each singing what belongs to her, and to none else;
The day what belongs to the day-At night, the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing, with open mouths, their strong melodious songs.

I am doing a Term Paper on Whitman and 2 poems by him! O Captain My Captain and I Hear America Singing! They are such great poems! He is really amazing with his works!!
I would like to comment that i view this poem as a symbol of American nationalism. It seems to me that Whitman is using singing as a symbol of the sounds that working creates, turning the sounds of industry into music. But at the same time he is portraying a happy world. It's obviusly about the American Dream, but it is also about finding joy in your work. The main issue i have with the poem is within the two sentences: "The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat – the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck." Life was not so rosy being a worker in America. Sure it is nice now after the workers got a lot more rights, but this was written while Capitalism was in it's prime. Being a worker was not that nice, the life of a worker was not far from what we would regard as hell. While Whitman being the posetive American would write something like this, the british writer Charles Dickens shows the negativity of the time. While the age of enlightenment was supposed to bring great prosperity and joy to the workers (read: The American Dream) working conditions did not really improve that much. If you were born poor in Britain you died poor, the same held true for America, except here you had a small chance at becoming rich. Even though a chance is better then no chance the overly posetive poem clearly showcases the ambivolence of the time. People did not just want to think they were in a time where everyone was important, they wanted to believe it. Personally i hate Nationalism. If you look at earlier societies like Germany and Italy you can see what it leads to. Fascism follows Nationalism and Fascism can be regarded as distilled Nationalism in my opinion.
A nationalistic attitude is nothing to be proud of, it only leads to racism. As a last note i would like to mention that even if the American Dream offered a second chance to a lot of people, we don't even have to dig deeper then the slaves to understand that not everyone had such a great life.
No one mentioned Hughes' poem is an allusion to Whitman's. Does anyone study allusion anymore?
the poem was great
this poem was really cool it is one of the best poems i have read the poet is really cool and the dude who wrot emooooooo is emoooooooooooooo
that was a pretty good poem, i didnt like the rhyme scheme to it but i did like the meaning that the whole world is singing and needs to be joyous for what we do have, for some have nothing.
ashley griffin says:
This poem is clearly about achieving the American dream. Everyone is working from nothing to become something. They are singing in unison. They are all happy about playing their part to build up america. In Langston's hughes I, Too he includes himself and represents for the black community as well. I believe that whitman wasn't trying to make racism an issue. He was just commenting on the American dream.
this poem by whitman is such an awesome poem i did a biography on this amazing man and thereis so much more to him he is such an astonishing writer and person
Ben Donello says:
i think that this is a great poem.
EMOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
"he founded a "free soil" newspaper, the "Brooklyn Freeman". / "returns to Brooklyn and edits The Brooklyn Freeman." / "He resigned from his position in 1848 because his stand against slavery was too strong for the paper's owners."
That would imply that he's against slavery. Please, do some research before you form an opinion on a topic you don't know anything about.
To me, this poem is Whitman's idea of what America should be: everyone is content with the life they have. No matter what class the people are of, they do not wish to have more, nor do they flaunt off what they have. The "singing" is just a way to say that the people's spirits are high. "Singing with open mouths" means they are proud to say that they are content with their lives whether they be carpenters or woodcutters.
First of all I must say VERY WELL SAID GARRETT!!! (Comment No. 42) because I have noticed there are a few illiterate commenters on here, who obviously have no love for the art of poetry and must read poetry only in order to pass a course. So in closing, if you do not understand the concept of poetry and have no skills of analysing properly, please keep your negativity to yourself and read content that is at your level.
Danielle Ferreira says:
I LOVE THIS POEM!its one of the best poems Mr.Whitman has wrote i remember reading this in the 6th grade not understanding one word but then when i came to high school i began to understand it and of course love it!
Aradia says:
IF you match up the lines it comes close to an Alabama song, "40 Hour Week". They both deal with the middle-class working man, the machines, and mechanics. It's intresting to compare the two.
I discovered Whitman 4 years ago and now i cant stay one day without read his poetry. i would like to corrispond with other people that have my same interest.
Jordan Slone says:
This poem is very boring.
Spinna says:
This poem was used by William Striker during his newfond speech on politics because of how insperational it is. It should be required by law to be taught throughout our school sytems because of its imagery and use of poetic devices such as metaphors and similes. His poetic skills surpass that of even the best poets of the now and even the past. He should be regarded by all as the father of national and stirring poems. All hail Whitman!
Interesting side-note to this poem, try reading and comparing it to Langston Hughes' "I, Too"
Comment number 43 is a dumb thing to say. If you don't understand poetry do NOT comment on it. Just because he was a homosexual does NOT mean his poems revolve around that. This poem has its flaws but does not say anything about that.
i did a reasurch paper on it and i felt it is such pragmatic to neglect the artists and others in the empowerment of the nation
Thomas Woos says:
Yes, after much review, the poem does glorify blue collared workers of America (Lines 2-6) and suggest both America as a diverse (I hear America singing, the "varied carols" I hear;) and yet strong (Singing…their strong melodious songs) nation.
It is not disputed that Whitman had sexual attraction towards men, however only 3rd hand accounts say he was actually in a homosexual relationship. Yes there are more than obvious "suggestions" of such attractions (Line 7), but an attraction does not mean a relationship.
Argueing to remove great work such as this from school curriculum because of some suttle suggestions of a homosexual preference and a few 100 year old rumours is down right wrong. It is similar to saying we should remove "Romeo & Juliet" from all school books because it contains violence, suggestions of sex, and murder.
CCCCCCCCCCCC says:
Sahara from U.S u do not know what u r talking about this is one of the greatest poets in American History. It doesn't say anything about a love affair in the whole poem now does it? NOPE
I REALLY REALLY LIKE THE POEM
Shimon Weinroth says:
America singing on the eve of the industrial revolution
her workmen of all trades, he incldes the women and mothers the storng melodious song full of hope and enthusiam on the eve or reconstruction and indusrialization industrialization. One must explain his poetry in context with the times and not condemn
him in term of today. Yet it is worhty to note the irony of the times in the following poem.inspired by
Whiman's I hear America Singing
Songs of the New world
I hear technology singing
I hear the hum of computers
from the sockets in the wall
and transmitters down the hall
I feel the waves of energy
tremors of mighty power
fill the rooms and towers
with the click and beat pulsing all about
joodie says:
My love you are like a roll of cookie dough to me
You make me want to kiss you with my wet soggy lips
Come to me my little cough drop
I think you are like a hairy baboon
My Poem:
A bitter autumn wind comes upon the earth with a great swoosh
The trees shiver in the cold bitter winds
Oh save my soul bitter winds
Im doing a project thing about this poem and I find it quite intresting to see all the imagry and how he expresses himself in the poem "I Hear America Singing". I think he is a great poet and I love his plays!!
Vinh le says:

Scarlet says:
I am with Garrett from the U.S. Perhaps some of the people reading the poem and commenting should read Whitman's biography and some of his other works. How can he be "too patriotic"? The time in his life that he wrote much of his poetry was during The Civil War period and it was a time that greatly affected Whitman. He was a nurse for wounded soldiers and he wrote poetry about this and about the assassination of Lincoln. Later, he also wrote poems that praised the everyday world around him – like his list poem "I Hear America Singing". Read "Miracles", another list poem. It shows how Whitman felt about his fellow man and the goodness and beauty of the world around him.
Sarah Farhda says:
This poem is disgusting and ought to be banned from all school reading lists. It is nothing but an enigmatic reference to his sexual love affair with a boy and his mother. In line 8 he comments on the little ploughboy's "wood-cutting song." Then he continues on to reveal how the boy was available at "morning, noon, intermission, or sundown." He continues with a reveling in the mother's "delicious singing" while she "works." Finally whitman concludes with a reference to an orgy with "robust" boys.("Party of young fellows.
I find it quite amusing that a large majority of the individuals leaving such negative comments about one of the greatest American writers ever to have lived are widely illiterate and look no deeper into the poem than what they see on the surface. Many of you criticize how Whitman does not speak of latinos, asians, or blacks. You just assume that he is speaking of white people and only white people. In what part of his poem does he mention race? It seems that you have personal issues and stereotypes of white people as racist. If you had any knowledge of Walt Whitman, you would know that he was in such grievance over the assassination of Abraham Lincoln that he wrote two poems about his mourning. One of these is "O Captain! My Captain!" Of course you would probably look at this poem and think to yourself, "He is just talking about some white captain on a ship who dies." So why would you even think for one second that Whitman advocated racism or slavery when he was in support of abolition? Please type your comments in Microsoft Word next time so that spell-check is in effect and you may correct your errors so that you may not appear even more ignorant than you already are. In addition, Walt Whitman lived in the 1800's, so one cannot merely pass off this poem as unrealistic. Perhaps this is so by today's standards, but at the time the poem was written it was very realistic. Agriculture dominated the economy and industry was emerging as a player in the market as well. Consequently, the people described in his poem all perform physical labor. So, one should not question Whitman's lack of reference to people with other occupations. Whitman is also describing the American workforce and population as a whole. If he were to be so very specific as to list every occupation that existed, I do not believe that anyone would sit through an entire reading of his work. So once again I ask of you, go to school, the library, the internet, anywhere, and educate yourself on the subject matter so that you will have facts to support your argument. Thank you.
This poem was written in a time where America was going through many many changes industrially, socially…I think the author just speak out his good wish about amercan common people.
Walt Whitman, in this poem, may actually be trying to be sarcastic. At the time the poem was written workers were being mistreated and the conditions they worked under were terrifying. Maybe the workers singing is their hope and the only time they can sing "with open mouths" is at night when they are amongst other workers and can express themselves freely. Being heavily connected with the democratic party, a huge concern for Whitman was human rights as well as unity.
I get confused on the different kind of literary devies these kind of poems have…could anybody explain them to me please?
I think that Walt Whitman was unrealistic in this poem as America was not "free" for everyone during the time that this poem was written. Minorities and women's rights were not heard during this time thus their "singing" was silenced. Read Langston Hughes, "I, too, sing America" to fully understand the feelings of the oppressed and discriminated.
Edgar Andrade says:
I Hear America Singing is a great poem and I think it says alot of inspiring things. I like this poem because it talks about americas workforce. I can relate to this poem aswell.
Kira Nerrice says:
I'm currently studying Walt Whitman and I am right now learning about this poem (I'm a sixth grader). This is one of the few poems I like and understand. Why do teachers make kids study poems?!?
Well- The SINGING that is refered to here is a figurative song. They people are not actually SINGING while they work. The song is the routine of their work that is basically the work that is holding America up–keeping the country moving. This poem was written in a time where our country was going through many many changes industrially, socially, we were gearing up for the civil war, and slavery was on the cusp of being abolished. This poem is about the people in America, those who make the country what it is. Whitman wrote for the common man. He glorified blue collar work as the support that holds the country together. The common man- as he called it- was essentially America. Whitman did not even publish his work using his name. He wanted his stuff to be read by everyone of all social classes and ethnicities.
To me this poem is less about a carefree society that is all joy and singing. I think Whitman realized the problems in America also. This poem is more about people finding satidfaction in their lives because it is THEIR LIFE. No one elses. They are independent and that makes them free. To be able to say that you worked for something, and it is yours, is a great thing. Even if it is a low, honest working wage, or just the ability to be comfortable with yourself.
natalie millon says:
Walt Whitman is a very patriotic poet. In his poem, he repeatedly used "singing" as a symbolization of freedom and happiness in America. He also described a very utopian society, a perfect place to dwell in.
I feel this means that everybody needs to do their jobs for the community. Relating this to a Melody, the melody doesnt work without the harmony and like that if only one person "sings their song" or does their work then the song isnt complete and the community that relys on each other will fall apart.
Karen Whitley says:
To me the poem means that everyone is different and in America that is ok. Everyone is allowed to sing their song out loud, not silenced by diversity, "singing with open mouth." It is not necessarily singing, or workers…the workers represent the ordinary citizen and the songs are our voices and opinions. Even the small guys have the freedom of speech
dwq says:
IT WAS FUNNY
Victor Betts Jfr says:
I feel that in this poem they feel exciting as they work,when on the other hand some people dont like to work an sing "excitement"
Marlene Gomez says:
In "I Hear America Singing" you can hear that it shows that the people in america love to sing to their country and to their nobel jobs even with low wages and hard times the people af america will always enjoy living in their country and enjoy singing to their beautiful America.
Raquel Alvarado says:
I think that the poem"I hear America Singing" is a great poem because it shows that people back then were happy to get any job, but today people are non-conformists at what they do for a living.
dominique thomas says:
He is saying that he hear the sweet sounds of the american people while they enjoy their day at work.
From the persons day it sounds like everyone was happy about their jobs, they are in the garden of eve and tha makes me like it.
johnny lepe says:
The poem "I hear America singing" was too patriotic it had too many words that only true americans could read, but its showing that these people are happy as long as they are in the country and not caring about how they treat them.
The poem was alright but i did not like the poem because it was not real nobody sing when they work at these kind of jobs. bye
jose guillen says:
she was trying to say the different ways american express themselves.
Tanesha Richardson says:
what i thought about the poem "I Hear America Singing" was that it was enjoyable. I think he was trying to say that having a good job to go to everyday is enjoying. I also think that he's trying to say that jobs are not always bad there sometimes wonderful. I also think he's trying to say sing about what you have instead of showing it off to everyone.
BLANCA says:
IN "I HEAR AMERICA SINGING" I THINK THAT THIS POEM DOESN'T MAKE SENSE BECAUSE IT'S WRITTEN LIKE IN THE OLD FASHINED WAY WITH WEIRD WORDS.THE POET DIDN'T REALLY MAKE A POINT.
MARIELA MARTINEZ says:
I BELIEVE THAT " I HEAR AMERICA SINGING' IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT WORK VERY HARD DOING THEIR JOB EVERY DAY, AND ARE HAPPY TO BE WORKING FOR GREAT COUNTRY LIKE AMERICA.
Yery Aguilar says:
I think that the poem "I hear America Singing" is a very good poem because it says that you shouldn't hate what you do for a living.If you have to do it anyways might as well enjoy it.
Desiree Garcia says:
In the poem "I Hear America Singing Whitman makes me think that everybody here started slow and in the end they were the richest man, they loved working because they were americans, but if hw were alive today he would say that everything has changed. Now everybody doesn't care,they not patriac because now it's all about white people and they forgey evrybody else
Marcellus Cox says:
To me it talks about people singing about the country they love, what makes people happy about living in the u.s.a.
Makes people want to sing about there prombles. Also makes everbody want to sing there troubles away.
Hi, I am working on an assignment for english that is to compare the two poets, Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson. I am not just to state the obvious; Dickenson is confined and Whitman was out experiencing nature. I am supposed to find deeper meaning into the poetry and contrast and compare. If anyone has ideas to help me please, please e-mail me. musicguy88@hotmail.com
Whitman man a good and also boring man. This poem is really boring and also has a very good facts about the poeple. Look at America now! How is it! the poem has nothing antmore for someone to read cause it's pointless!
Rainbow says:
When I read this poem, I find Whitman only thought of the people who did physical labour. Did they represent all Americans?
darryl says:
This poem is okay to me.I think it just means that everybody is important in America. Woopie!
Leyla Rodriguez says:
I liked this poem because it talks about all the hard woking people all over America. He says that if everybody had a song they would all be different. I also like it because he is talking about the importance of the common people.
Maria Peralta says:
In "I Hear America Singing" Whitman says that everyone has his or her own life style. He kind of says that we are all unique but Americans too.I think this poem is nice but really don't like it .
Elsi Reyes says:
"I Hear America Singing" has a meaning for saying that everybody has there own style."Each singing what belongs to her, and to none else."Is saying that everybody is different.You don't have to be someone your not to impress another person, but to just be yourself and not someone your not.
Justin Sanders says:
In "I Hear America Singing" the poet shows songs that different types of people form one song of America. It also shows that these types of poems are what America is known for. We are all different but we are Americans too.
Jason Anthony says:
" I Hear America Singing"
I think that it represents how he felt about America back then and how it was as happy as can be. These days though I don't think the poem would quite fit with the way America is. I say that because the people of America are not always happy with what they do and most jobs don't pay enough. Also our economy is all screwed up.
In the poem it says that each person is singing their own song. I think this poem represents that everyone is different in their own way and were not the same. It also probably represents that they were happy to be an American.
Alexandria Williams says:
Whitman shows that everyone lives by their own song and even though we are all individuals in our own right , we are brought together by our american song. He displays his views of patriotism and his idea of being an American.
Samuel Salgado says:
I find the poem " I Hear America Singing" to be too patriotic. Yes the Americans were happy despite the low wages and hard labor, but they were not the only hard laborers. What about the Hispanics, Latinos, and even Asians? They work as hard,or, even harder than the Americans. " I Hear America Singing" is too patriotic and nationalistic.
kandyse says:
The poem had a good meaning to it that connected to everyday life. I agree with most of the things stated in the poem. I think one of the most important statements in the poem was "Trust no Future, how'er pleasant! Let the dead past bury it's dead! Act-act in the leaving Present! Heart within and God o'er head!" If you live trying to fix your past, your future will never be right.
Debbie Valenta says:
I wonder if Whitman were alive today, what songs would he hear from America? I'm afraid they may not be as happy.
Jomel says:
he shows they were happy to do their jobs despite the low wages and hard labor, they were just happy to be in America

Tottenham Hotspur Among Clubs Interested In This Serie A Striker: A Move Spurs Need To Make?
By Jack O'Brien
Jack O'Brien
A 22 y/o football nerd seeking my way into football writing. I love Irish football and also the Premier League. A huge Arsenal fan! Aside from writing, I like to spend my time fishing and drinking beer.
According to Nicolo Schira, Arkadiusz Milik could be on the verge of leaving Napoli in the summer. And this has alerted Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur as they continue their search for an additional striker to support Harry Kane. However, the Lilywhites could face stiff competition from Bundesliga outfit FC Schalke 04.
Arkadiusz Milik: Player profile
Milik has emerged as one of Serie A's top strikers since joining from Ajax in 2016. Although a few injuries halted the Pole's progress, he still has managed to score 46 goals in just 109 competitive matches. This season, he has already netted six goals in 19 league games, helping Napoli recover from a disappointing start to the campaign.
Standing at 186cm, Milik is primarily known for his impressive work-rate. The Pole likes to involve himself in the game. He can link up with teammates using quick one-touch passes, which is why he had an excellent understanding with the likes of Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne. His work-rate is backed up by the fact that he has averaged nearly one key pass per game this season.
The 26-year-old is also a physically adept striker. His significantly tall 186cm frame gives him a considerable advantage in the air, with the Napoli star winning 1.7 headed duels per game this season.
That being said, Milik is not the greatest of goal-scorers. Despite his excellent record at Napoli, the ex-Ajax starlet often tends to miss glaring goalscoring opportunities. This is a crucial reason why Mertens was eventually transformed into a centre forward by Maurizio Sarri during his time in charge of the Naples outfit.
Why Milik is not the answer for Tottenham
On paper, Milik seems like a viable target for a Tottenham attack that has lacked efficiency in front of goal, especially following the injury of Kane and Son Heung-Min. But, his tendency to miss scoring opportunities, coupled with the fact that he can also appear inconsistent does not make the Pole an ideal backup for someone like Kane.
Moreover, Milik has a rather poor injury record, notably suffering from a knee and an ACL injury during his time at Napoli. These two injuries kept him out for a total of almost a year. But more importantly, the Napoli star will not be a cost-effective option for Spurs.
In fact, it won't be surprising to see Tottenham having to spend more than €35 million to attain the services of Milik, thus making him a risky target for the Lilywhites.

Q: How to properly sign a winmd file? We are shipping a signed Windows Runtime Component. Currently we sign the winmd like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\sn.exe -R MyComponent.winmd mykeypair.snk

This requires a hardcoded path at worst(assuming you're using 64-bit to build and have exactly v8.0A).. or at best requires an environment variable to be setup before you can do a build
In Visual Studio, there is also a section on the Windows Runtime Component's Project page called "Signing". If I check the signing box though and choose an appropriate keyfile, it'll appear to work fine, but won't be properly signed:
sn -vf MyComponent.winmd

Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Strong Name Utility  Version 4.0.30319.17929
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

MyComponent.winmd is a delay-signed or test-signed assembly

I've found some references to this problem, but never have seen an actual bug report or acknowledgement that it's an actual issue.
The reason we want to ship a signed component, as opposed to unsigned is that we want our component to be capable of being used from other strong-named components. If our component was unsigned, this would not be possible.
Is there a better workaround for this issue, or am I doing something wrong that's causing signing not to work as I expect?

A: I ended up writing an MSBuild target to hack it together so that it signed the WinMD file just after compilation.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <Target Name="SignWinMD" AfterTargets="ExportWindowsMDFile" Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Release'">
    <Exec Command=""$(SDK40ToolsPath)\sn.exe" -R "$(_IntermediateWindowsMetadataPath)" $(AssemblyOriginatorKeyFile)" />
  </Target>
</Project>

You include it in your project by simple adding this somewhere before the </project> tag
<Import Project="SignWinMD.targets" />

After doing this, your project will be properly signed when using the Signing menu from the Project page of the component in Visual Studio. Note you must have a key setup for this to work.

Florida woman who tried to run over two deputies, only to be shot and killed, identified
The Polk County Sheriff's Office identified 20-year-old Sidney Alexis Renew as the woman shot and killed by deputies Monday afternoon.
By: WFTS Digital Staff
Posted at 8:49 AM, Nov 12, 2019
POLK COUNTY, Fla. -- The Polk County Sheriff's Office identified 20-year-old Sidney Alexis Renew as the woman shot and killed by deputies Monday afternoon.
Renew was behind the wheel of a stolen Ford F-250 when the sheriff's office says she tried to run two deputies over.
"Witnesses said she 'revved the engine and she had it floored,'" Scott Wilder the Public Information Officer with Polk County said. "It was quickly accelerating right towards the deputies. It had actually come past the deputies in through two trees and hit the ditch, and that's where it stopped, the engine was still running in drive."
Wilder said deputies responded to a call of a stolen pickup truck around 11:30 a.m. Deputy Jessica LeBlanc spotted the stolen vehicle in the woods off Lakeland Acres Road a little before 12:30 p.m. LeBlanc was backed up by deputy Christin Pennell.
The two deputies approached the truck on foot and asked Renew to turn the truck off and get out.
Wilder said three adult witnesses heard deputies giving Renew commands to get out of the truck. Those witnesses stated that's when Renew began revving the engine and drove right towards LeBlanc and Pennell.
Both deputies opened fire, killing Renew.
The windshield of the truck was filled with bullet holes.
"I'm glad that everything took place right there," Melissa Nichols said. "Because, literally, a couple of hundred feet away and my children were here. They were out in the yard; they literally had no idea anything was going on, and the situation could've been very much worse than it was. They did what they needed to do today, and most of all, we didn't lose any deputies because we could have."
Nichols said she has a home surveillance video showing Renew speeding past her home in the stolen truck before the shooting. She said it was her neighbor's truck that was taken, and he is in shock and saddened about how everything ended.
"I was down there checking on the person who owned the truck cause he is a friend within minutes of it happening, and he was very shook up," Nichols said. "He has a family too, who was home when the truck was stolen. It could've been so much worse than it is, everyone is just grateful."
The deputies were not hurt.
They will be placed on administrative leave with pay as the deadly shooting remains under investigation.
Renew has a lengthy criminal history that includes a total of 14 felonies & 6 misdemeanors for juvenile and adult charges.

Review: Everybody's Son
It was the hottest week anyone could remember in years. Anton's mother locked him in their inner-city apartment while she went to get a quick hit. But she didn't come back. Days later, Anton breaks a window and the police find him bloody, hungry, and overheated. When his mother is finally found, she is sent to prison and her son becomes a part of the foster care system. Anton's foster parents are David and Delores Coleman. They carry the tremendous loss of their own son and hope that Anton can bring some joy to their home again. With time, the Colemans come to love Anton and he cares very much for his foster parents, even as he asks about being reunited with his mother. David's love will drive him to use his power and influence as a judge to make a terrible decision that will have repercussions for everyone in his family.
Thrity Umrigar is not an author who shies away from tough questions. In Everybody's Son, she looks at the immoral decisions that people will make for the people they love. Anton is a boy who goes through difficult circumstances, but he is also a boy who is deeply loved by his mother and by his foster parents. It would be easy for the author to portray the drug-addicted mother as the villain and the kind Colemans as the heroes. It would also be easy to rail against the rich white people who took a black child away from the mother who was doing the best she could. But Thrity Umrigar does neither of these things. Instead, she has created a nuanced story in which characters do bad things for good reasons and good things for the wrong reasons.
The ending of this book was wrapped up a little neatly for me and I wished that we hadn't jumped from a lot of action to a lot of self-reflection in the final hundred pages. But Thrity Umrigar is a careful and compelling writer and this book will give you a lot to think about when it comes to power, privilege, and the bond of family.

I hope I can find this book. The subject of ethics is a tough one. You have to be faced with a situation to know how moral and ethical one is.
Exactly! It's so tough to know how you would react until you are in a crisis.

When looking for a job people find a suitable option to collaborate with a head hunter, because it seems to be the professional who could offer them the greatest benefits when it comes to finding a job. They are the right persons to contact when you do not have experience and you are looking for a job, or when you want to change your work place, and you need to find a new one in a discreet way. Head hunters as the ones from IMS Group, base their search on a network, which allows them to find suitable positions for people from different domains. If you hate your current job, or you have recently graduated and you are looking for an internship or open position, you should not think twice before contact a specialised company. But, you should know that the process of working with a head hunter needs some special attention, so if you want to successfully collaborate with them you should pay attention to the following tips.
When you contact a company of head hunters you should ask how much they charge, because you have to be sure that you afford their services. You should know that the cost of hiring a recruiter might vary according to the position you are looking for, so if a head hunter had charged your friend a certain sum you should not have the wrong impression that it would charge you the same. Also, you should know that some companies do not charge job seekers, because they are paid by the companies that list the jobs, so it is important to ask about the charge to be sure that you get the best deal.
This is a very important aspect you have to consider when you are collaborating with a head hunter. They have to owe all these details about you, because according to them they will sort the jobs you can apply for, and they will promote your resume to companies. If you have the needed knowledge and experience, they might even find you a job you have not been aware of, in a domain you considered that you are not prepared to work, because nowadays jobs are all about interlinking. The head hunter uses the information you are providing him to determine if you are the right person for a certain position, so you should be honest about your studies and experience. Also, the head hunters are the ones who decide if they represent a client or not, so you should not give them any reason to refuse you.
When you choose to collaborate with a head hunters company you have to check the rate of success of the recruiters, because you have to be sure that they are able to find you the job you are looking for. The best way of finding information about them is to read reviews from former clients, so take some time and look online.

Judge Demands Plane Carrying Deported Asylum Seekers to Turn Around
Published Aug. 09, 2018 5:51PM ET
Loren Elliott/Reuters
A federal judge ordered a plane carrying a deported immigrant mother and child to be turned around and returned to the United States, NBC News reports. U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan was presiding over a lawsuit in Washington, D.C., between the American Civil Liberties Union and the Trump administration when he was informed that one of the parents involved in the case had been deported along with her daughter. The government originally told the court that none of the plaintiffs in the suit would be deported before midnight on Friday. Judge Sullivan then ordered the plane and the plaintiffs to be returned to the U.S., in addition to ordering the government to stop deporting any immigrants in the case who are seeking asylum for gang and domestic-violence reasons. The ACLU sued the government after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that asylum grants would be restricted for those fleeing gang activity and domestic violence.

From the bestselling author of Looking for Alibrandi comes this perfectly crafted novel about families, relationships and the true nature of belonging. When Rosie Gennaro first meets Jimmy Hailler, she has walked away from life in Sydney, leaving behind the place on Dalhousie that her father, Seb, painstakingly rebuilt for his family but never saw completed. Two years later, Rosie returns to the house and living there is Martha, whom Seb Gennaro married less than a year after the death of Rosie's mother. Martha is struggling to fulfil Seb's dream, while Rosie is coming to terms with new responsibilities. And so begins a stand-off between two women who refuse to move out of the home they both lay claim to. The Place on Dalhousie is a deeply touching love song to messy families and relationships.

The idea of the typical Australian garden has undergone a huge shift thanks to the increase of higher density living. With more people living in apartments, townhouses and terraces, it's becoming increasingly challenging- but not impossible – to squeeze a dream garden into smaller outdoor spaces. Australia's leading landscape designer, Paul Bangay applies his 25 years of experience to reveal how best to structure, design and choose plants to cater for a small space to transform any area, no matter what the size, into a garden paradise.
Every two months we have a different artist exhibit at Bathers' Pavilion.
Currently showing until the beginning of April.
I have enjoyed painting for this exhibition. "Memories" are things around me, their shapes and colours stimulate my imagination and wish to paint. This is my 6th solo exhibition so l have been painting for "many" years!

Freedom of Religion SA (FOR SA) says it will need to raise in the region of R1-million for legal costs for its appeal against the High Court judgment which removed "moderate and reasonable chastisement" as a common law defence that parents could use against a charge of assault.
"Appealing this case to the Constitutional Court is very costly, because we need to appoint senior counsel and other advocates. Their experience and skill in arguing matters before the Constitutional Court will give our case the best possible chance of success before this Court," says FOR SA.
As a non-profit company working to protect religious freedom, FOR SA depends on voluntary donations for funding and has issued a special appeal to supporters to contribute towards the costs of the spanking ruling appeal.

I think definitely. Georgetown culture encourages students to be busy with their schoolwork and extracurriculars, and I feel like if you're not busy, you're kind of out of it, like the whole social life at Georgetown revolves a lot around clubs, so I'd say yes.
Do you feel like you fit in at Georgetown?
I feel that Georgetown has a lot of different kinds people, so I feel like no matter what you can find people to fit in with, so yes.
What are your plans after Georgetown?
I hope that I can go on to graduate school and work as a physician's assistant.
My favorite class so far at Georgetown was this semester, "Health Promotion and Disease Prevention," because it kind of was a mixture of public health and the stuff that I've been learning in human science, and it was very interactive and just really interesting. And also my professor was very engaging, so it was very good.
What is the hardest thing you've ever done?
I don't know, that's a hard one … I'll go with college. I think maybe just with the transition from going from high school to college, kind of being forced to go out of your comfort zone and meet new people and try new things. I think it's always kind of tough, and getting used to being on your own … so just kind of like the whole college experience.
What's your greatest fear?
Looking back when I'm older and thinking I didn't take all the opportunities, I didn't appreciate my opportunities enough. Being at school and not making the most of it, that's something I definitely think about.
What do you like to do for "me time"?
I got to say — and I think my roommate would agree — I watch a whole ton of Netflix.
Do you have a phrase or mantra you live by?
I don't know that I necessarily have one, but I always kind of feel that when things get bad, I just think that everything will be fine, and that there's definitely a plan. No matter what, even if you're not having a good day and everything seems bad, I feel that in the long run everything will be fine and everything happens for a reason.
What is the one of the happiest and most fun things you've ever done?
I'm just going to say in my college experience so far because I can't think of my entire life. At Georgetown one of the most fun things was during NSO, taking a trip to the monuments and around D.C. and realizing what an amazing place it was and how lucky I was to be here.

Retribucija ili retribucijsko pravo je teorija prava koja smatra da kazna ako je odmjerena i ograničena je moralno prihvatljivi odgovor za zločin, s obzirom na žrtvu, počinitelja djela i za društvo. Princip da kazna je odmjerena za zločin je koncept koji je poznat mnogim civilizacijama od pamtivjeka, i kodacije takvih zakona mogu se pronaći u Bibliji i Kuranu ("život za život, oko za oko, zub za zub, ruku za ruku, nogu za nogu"). S moralnog gledišta retribucijske kazne odnosno proprocionalne kazne u načelu su suprotne jer proporcionalne kazne "oko za oko, zub za zub" ne mogu u ispraviti nepravdu, jer počinjavaju drugu.

Boise is nicknamed "The City of Trees" for good reason. It's a hot spot for deciduous, non-native trees. Oaks, maples, and ash add variegated pops of color to the downtown area, local parks, and the East and North End neighborhoods. The Boise River's banks and adjoining parks are luminous with mature trees adding brilliant oranges and deep reds to the landscape. Cottonwoods and aspens add gold to the palette, with native low-growing plants and shrubs adding shades of red.
A walk down Harrison Boulevard or a bike ride through the Veteran's Hospital grounds is probably the best Fall colors stroll. If a hike is more to your liking, head up Hull's Gulch behind Camel's Back Park to see Fall nature in a different way. The Foothills Learning Center offers Fall foliage walks too.
You can slow down your fall foliage tour on the Boise Greenbelt with a walk or bike ride. The 25-mile path follows our beautiful Boise River and will put you in the heart of this multicolored cocktail. We recommend a swing through the new Esther Simplot Park (see video below) to see something new and imagine the splendor the park will add to Boise as the trees mature! Stop by Idaho River Sports and rent a kayak, canoe or paddleboard to take in Quinn's Pond from a different vantage point.
Now that we have you set for a great Fall, be sure to take in the YMCA's Harvest Classic kid's race or Halloween on Harrison Boulevard if the timing works out!
I spent much of my childhood in Boise I still go back. I'm 67 now I remember the old drug store in Hyde Park that I would go with my Grandfather as a kid.

Portrait of Oana Botez - from Portraits of People on the Move
Explore the Lobby Exhibit of Adapt! through the story of Costume Designer Oana Botez

"I was suffocating in a country that felt it has no future."
Oana Botez is a costume and set designer from Bucharest, Romania.

I was suffocating in a country that felt it has no future. The toxicity of a totalitarian system that took over so many generations and penetrated to a level that felt like generations had to pass by in order for Romanian people to find a new personal independent democratic voice. A voice that was inclusive to all the ethnic groups, where it will protect gender equality, a non-corrupt voice that will respect basic human rights.
What do I remember from the day I left? Leaving behind my family.
I flew into New York. It wasn't my first visit. I always loved the dynamism of New York and the fact you can get lost in a world of a variety of humans coming from everywhere. The life force of New York is unique.

Portraits of People on the Move tells the stories of Philadelphia-area immigrants through their own words on the Supperdance.com blog and was first shown as an exhibition June 25–28, 2015, at the Gray Area of Crane Arts in Philadelphia. The exhibition was created as a companion work to Supper, People on the Move by Cardell Dance Theater, a dance inspired by themes of migration. The exhibit has been remounted at The Wilma Theater as a part of the world premiere of Adapt!

NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute collaborates with Deeplearning.ai and Coursera on their new Deep Learning Specialization.
Convolutional neural networks. Recurrent neural networks. Long short term memory networks.
There's a lot to learn to get up to speed in deep learning. A new online offering from Deeplearning.ai and Coursera will show you how.
The NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) collaborated with both companies to develop an industry-level programming assignment in the Deep Learning Specialization.
Across five courses, you'll get up to speed on the foundations of deep learning, understand how to build, optimize and deploy neural networks, and learn how to lead successful machine learning projects.
In addition to CNNs, RNNs and LSTMs, you'll learn about Adam, Dropout, BatchNorm and Xavier/He initialization, which are algorithms you'll get to practice in Python using the TensorFlow deep learning framework.
You'll master not only theory, but see how it's applied through case studies from healthcare, autonomous driving, sign language reading, music generation and natural language processing. Plus, you'll get to build deep learning models for several of these applications, including a machine learning flight simulator.
DLI collaborated with Deeplearning.ai on the "sequence models" portion of term 5 of the Deep Learning Specialization. Deeplearning.ai is using some of the DLI's natural language processing fundamentals course curriculum.
To illustrate the techniques needed to translate languages, date translation is built into the course. Examples include translating dates from human-readable forms like 12th of November 2015 into machine-readable forms such as 2015-11-12.
Thanks to deep learning, the sequence algorithms used in this area have enabled exciting advancements in speech recognition, music synthesis, chatbots, machine translation, natural language understanding and many other applications.
Finishing the Deep Learning Specialization will help you master the topic, understand how to apply it creatively within your work and get on your way to building a career in AI.
The course is taught in Python so it's recommended that attendees have basic programming skills, such as understanding of for loops, if/else statements and data structures such as lists and dictionaries. A basic knowledge of machine learning is also recommended, so consider Ng's machine learning course on Coursera if you're just getting started.
And if you're totally new to deep learning, but anxious to get going, check out this list of the best places to get a crash course in AI.

Red Skelton wrote this poem in honor of his father, a former circus clown, whom Red never knew — Red's father died two months before Red was born. Years later, a young Red also clowned in the circus — at the very same circus where his father had performed years before.
That appears and disappears with the bat of an eye.
A sunburst of wheel, pink lemonade and cotton candy.
It cradles them to sleep.
As the red wagons roll from city to city.
That makes any deformity of life seem minute.
and limb for the meager reward of applause.
And taste the rare vintage of pink lemonade!
Or sigh as I watch him swing to and fro.
On the huge clock that ticks away life.
Oh, keep me young without prejudices.
Without haste, so that I will be young.
Next year, when the big red wagons roll in again!
To me, a great clown said that — my Dad.
Red was a saint and an American institution.
He devoted his professional life to the memory of his dad, the clown.

STEP 1. Start off with the guide shape for the head and face, then sketch in the facial guidelines as well as the neck guide. STEP 2. Define the shape of Sting's face using the facial guide you just made. When that is done draw the hair line, and then draw in some layered folds on the right side of the head. STEP 3. We will now draw in the shapes of Sting's ears, then add detailing inside them to finish the ears off. STEP 4. For step four, all you have to do is draw in the angled shapes of the eyes, then sketch in the long eyebrows. Next, draw the nose and then his mouth. Add a scar over the left eyebrow, then add some crinkles between the eyes. STEP 5. Sketch in the shape of Sting's neck like so. On the sides of the neck should be fluffy lining for the puffy collar on the jacket. STEP 6. For the last step all you will have to do is draw in the rest of the puffy collar. Make sure the spikes are thick and flowing as well. Erase your mistakes and you are done. STEP 7. That's it. You're done. Now you can color in this drawing and show folks what you did. Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5. Step 6. Step 7.


I want that on the front of the tee-shirt.
Dude's pitcher on the back.
Yesterday the second novel came out. Tiny Little Troubles can now be found in bookstores from coast to coast.
I've tried to be calm about the book's appearance, after the all-out frenzy (on my part anyway) of having Vinnie's Head published. I've accomplished this so far mainly by denial.
Now the book is in the world, but so far, except for a couple pre-pub assessments (Publisher's Weekly, Booklist) unreviewed. At least, as far as I know. I've forbidden myself, this time, the endless self-Googling that absorbed so much of my vital energy with Vinnie.
Well, okay, I did a little searching. For a couple hours. But nobody's reviewed it yet.
I plan to remain ignorant of my Amazon numbers, too. For the most part.
I looked last night, after Troubles had been on sale for almost 12 hours, and saw that the numbers had moved down from the high gazillions into the lowest 100,000's. This probably means that one person bought the book, and that one person was probably my mom. Silly lady, she should have known I would have given her a better discount than Amazon.
Until those numbers move, I'll be checking in, keeping an eye on things. Just making sure. Somebody has to do this. If not now, when? If not me, who?
So if you want to save me the anguish and eyestrain of spending the next three months in front of the computer, obsessively monitoring the book's progress, go out and buy a copy. Buy two or three: they make great gifts. Give one to your mom; she'll enjoy it.
Give me something to search for, something to find. Then maybe I'll get tired and go away, maybe even write another book.
I'm interested. The title is the basic plot of my new novel, Tiny Little Troubles. Did I mention that it's coming out this month? Well, it is, on July 22. You can pre-order from Amazon now.
