"Some are like my own" demonstrates a conscious effort on the part of the poet to establish, in the reader's mind, inevitability and empathy in the speaker's evaluation of grief. She accomplishes this by a skillfully crafted incorporation of devices which carry the receptive reader through the actual grief process. These devices can be better evaluated by dividing the poem into three distinct movements: Questioning (stanzas 1-6), Definition (stanzas 7-8), and Resolution (stanzas 9-10).
Dickinson uses, within the threefold movement, several techniques to pull the reader into a relationship of identity with and confidence in the speaker. She poses her questions in the first person, not only heightening the question's intensity, but also sharply focusing our attention and sympathy as we become the speaker. We become the song while the song lasts. Unconsciously, the reader is identifying with the speaker early in the poem when she asks, "I wonder if It weighs like Mine — ". Thus the reader's own questioning prepares him/her to accept the speaker's resolution. In addition, her avoidance of didactic rhetoric subtly enlists the reader's participation. S/he feels no need to defend or stand at a distance; s/he draws close, opening heart and mind. She has established proximity. The most effective device she draws upon to develop confidence in the speaker is her skepticism. She measures every grief "With narrow, probing, Eyes — "(2). The reader sees that the speaker can be trusted. No one will accept a naive evaluation of an emotion as intense as grief. If she had said 'I know' instead of 'I presume'(39), s/he would balk. Knowing that an exact measurement or indicator of the presence of grief would be purely subjective, our speaker does not say, "The Grieved — are many — "(25) and leave it at that — as though she had stated a new emotional axiom. She convinces us of her exposure to and awareness of grief's illusive symptoms by adding, "I am told — "(25). Now the reader says, 'She's honest. I'll go on with her.' These are subtle but effective devices with which to win her poetic pilgrims. She wants to engage in such a way that she holds us until the end. Having evaluated her use of several of these techniques, let us move on to the threefold movement of the poem to see how else she draws the reader into direct experiencing.
The first major movement, questioning, is comprised of three types: questions of dimension, duration, and direction. In the first type, dimension, she says, "I measure every Grief I meet"(1); "I wonder if It weighs like Mine — Or has an Easier size."(3-4). As the speaker thus evaluates the experience, these terms of dimension subtly move us to see how large her grief seems to her "Is theirs as big as mine?" she asks. Not only will the reader look for comparisons between the speaker's grief and that of those s/he observes; but s/he internalizes the questions and begins to expand his/her consciousness, thus embracing a fellow sufferer and recognizing his/herself. Her questions are so basic and universally asked that on a subliminal level, memory is being affected. One of the first observations a person makes in his experience of grief (assuming he has experienced it) is that, at the time s/he was going through it, no one else's' grief mattered; to her/him, s/he owned the biggest. This is not something that people easily admit, so that Dickinson's humble "I wonder if . . . " endears the reader to her even more. She has empathized with the memory of grief that her reader may have exhumed as he was carried along by the poem. After having questioned dimension, the speaker directs the reader's attention to the next and most effective type of questioning, that of duration.
She asks, in reference to the duration of their grief, if "They bore it long — Or did it just begin — "(5,6). She begins to break down finite time and the emotion of grief, into a homogeneous One, in an effort to convince the reader of the eternity of her grief: "I could not tell the Date of Mine — "(7). It is important to note that Dickinson sees grief as a form of pain, "It feels so old a pain — "(8), because her view of pain is endless.
Thousands of years or thousands of griefs? Or is she showing us that they are indeed the same? Time here, to the sufferer, becomes insignificant; stretching in both directions — past and future — it becomes "Centuries of Nerve"(22). Grief has become a timeless state of being for the speaker.
She goes on to tell us that Joy is closely related to grief, "grief and joy are done/So similar"(#329), but that joy, unlike grief, is fleeting: "In insecurity to lie/Is Joy's insuring quality"(#1434). It becomes evident that many of Dickinson's emotions overlap and must be dissociated in order to understand the whole. Once she has established the tentative nature of the smile or reprieve, she returns the reader to questions. She discourages from taking the easy way out of grief. After having experienced so much pain, could their brief reprieve "give them any Balm — "(20), or "would they go on aching still"(21)? She cements it in the reader's mind that because they have been "Enlightened to a larger Pain", they will suffer in proportion to their degree of enlightenment. Revelation begins to make the reader aware that there is little hope of taking an easy way out, if there is a way out at all. Having completed the questioning process that takes place in grief, the speaker moves on to the next major movement of the poem.
Definition is used by the poet to narrow the cause of grief and the aspects or by-products of the cause. Let me illustrate: to Dickinson's mind, not many causes for grief are presented in this poem; rather, "the various Cause — Death — "(26,27). Yet, does it not seem that here she is speaking of more than the death that "comes but once — "(27)? Physical death does not appear to be her greatest fear because it "only nails the eyes — "(28); but, the living "Centuries of Nerve — "(22) suffered by those "Who till they died, did not alive become — "(#816) most definitely gives clarity to the intensity of suffering in prolonged grief. she develops next the types or aspects, of these two deaths, that are converted into griefs. Her "Grief of Want"(29) becomes an eternal toothache worse than death. Dickinson sees want as "a quiet Commissary for Infinity", where "to possess, is past the instant we achieve the Joy"(#1036). "Grief of Cold"(29) is that physical cold of the corpse, but that deeper freeze of the spirit too — dead hope. She says elsewhere, "Hope it was that kept me warm — "(#768). By bringing definition into her poetic structure, she has caused the reader to experience and define types of grief which s/he may have experienced in common with the speaker. Her use of "despair" and "banishment" drives home the 'time' theme again. Dickinson says elsewhere that, "no man can compass a Despair"; he is too close and thus "unconscious of the width [notice dimension again]"(#477). This reinforcement of the eternity of grief gives the reader the added experience of being afloat in the poem.
Having brought the reader out to sea in what would seem a leaky and becalmed boat, she is now ready to stir up a small breeze and take the boat into a safe harbor of resolution. The poet's resolve consists of a comparison (stn.9) and an assumption (stn.10). Only in looking at the ultimate pain, Calvary, does she find justification and reprieve from her grief: "A piercing Comfort it affords/In passing Calvary"(35,36). It is important to establish that she 'passes' Calvary; she does not accept it or affirm it as a means of salvation. The knowledge of this fashion trend, which is normally a part of the average reader's schema (experience) [even in Dickinson's day], cannot help but be subliminally, if not consciously, influential in causing the reader to sense that the resolution itself is only a temporary reprieve, soon to be out of style. With her grief having been measured and sized at the opening of the poem it is finally covered and accepted like any fashion is worn. She has brought the reader through — by means of the images and physical organization of the poem — a vicarious experiencing of the grief process. For the reader, this technique develops, believability and empathy in the speaker's evaluation of so subjective an emotion as grief. The reader has been carried full-circle from "I wonder if It weighs like Mine — "(3) to "Some — are like My Own — "(40).

Daikon as Clay Soil Amendment (and Tasty Vegetable)!
In the U.S., when we think of radishes, many of us think of the cute little red skinned radishes.
I like those little reds as much as the next guy, but let me tell you something - they do not thrive on heavy clay. And by 'do not thrive', I mean that when I tried growing them, most of them failed to develop anything resembling the round, bulbous shape that the word 'radish' conjures. It was an abject disappointment.
But daikon radishes - sometimes known as tillage radish - is in a different category altogether. In fact, daikon radishes are so renowned for their ability to penetrate compacted clay soils that some people use them as a winter cover crop to aerate the soil (example Delta Farm Press). Note that if you're growing it to amend the soil, the idea is not to harvest the radish, but to allow it to winter kill and then decay in the soil.
Having just removed some shrubs from a garden bed, I had some bare soil in September and no firm idea what I wanted to plant there yet. I thought I'd do a trial planting of daikon to see (a) if it could make a good cover crop and (b) if I could get any sizeable radishes from the bed for eating.
I happen to enjoy eating daikon radish, for instance sliced and added on top of a salad.
I sowed the seeds (from Sow True Seeds) in September, gave them a couple drinks of water to get started and then basically left them alone to fend for themselves during two months of severe drought that followed.
And the roots actually did manage to penetrate the hard-as-concrete parched clay soil. In fact, the soil was so tight that I had to water the plants just to pull some of the radishes without having them break in the middle.
Now, it's true that my radishes did not reach the mammoth portions of ones grown in sandy-loamy soils. In Japan, where daikon radishes are quite popular, the roots can easily be 12 inches long with the diameter of a baseball bat. My daikons were only about one-third that size, but consider their growing environment and the lack of rain (which would probably have softened the soil and allowed the daikon root to expand deeper and wider), I was quite impressed and pleased with their performance.
How was the taste? I was expecting that the lack of rain would have made the radishes hot and spicy, and indeed the first daikon I ate was almost too hot to handle, but the subsequent ones I consumed generally had just enough bite.
I did run into two problems - deer and rabbits.
The daikon leaves seemed mainly untouched in late October, but throughout November, I saw more and more herbivore damage (and telltale deer droppings scattered around the backyard pointed to the culprits). I figured the deer shouldered all the blame, but late in November, I spotted a well-fed bunny scampering from the radish patch, so I'm dividing the blame among both types of critters.
Still, I can't blame them too much. A nearby wood has been mostly clear-cut this summer, and the drought meant that much surviving wild vegetation was parched, dead or dormant. Finding this green salad bar in my backyard probably seemed like quite a treat - maybe even a life-saving one - for the critters.
Overall, I'd say this experiment was quite fun, tasty and successful. So much so, that I plan to grow a lot more daikon in the future. And for any other gardeners out there stuck with heavy compacted clay - consider giving daikon radishes a try!
After months of drought, the rains have finally arrived.
With rain in the forecast, I rushed to sow the wildflower seeds - some bought, others gathered on my own property - that I had been squirreling away.
I'm taking a multifaceted approach to seed starting this year.
For those seeds that need months of cold stratification, I sowed many outdoors yesterday. After all, I figure that's how these plants propagate themselves in the wild - they drop their seeds, which undergo freezes and thaws all winter, and then they sprout in the spring.
Of course, there are drawbacks to sowing seeds outside so early in the year and letting them fend for themselves. Some seeds may get washed away. Others will probably get eaten. Still others may rot or dessicate. But with thousands of seeds sowed, presumably some will find the 'just right' conditions that allow them to germinate.
As a control, I'm holding other seeds in cold storage (the refrigerator) all winter. In February and beyond, I'll start taking action with those seeds - sowing some outdoors, transferring some into bags of wet sand (that I'll still hold in the fridge), eventually trying to start some seeds in eggshells that I'm already saving, etc.
I'll keep you all posted on the success (or not) of these various experiments.
All of the seeds purchased from nurseries (i.e., all seeds other than those gathered from my own plants) represent my first attempts to grow these species in my garden.
Incidentally, for the first time, I tried mixing the seeds with sand before sowing. As I'd hoped, the sand helped me get better coverage and allowed me to see where seeds had already been sowed.
In colder climates, I've read that some people will wait until it snows and then scatter seeds (sample image). That way, they can easily see where the seeds have been scattered and when the snow melts, the seeds will gently sink into the ground with a ready supply of water.
I don't sow all species outside indiscriminately. Even though zinnias (Z. elegans), for example, do lightly self sow here, I suspect/hope that I'll have better germination waiting until spring to sow those seeds. And I'm also holding off on some other species I've purchased (like Monarda fistulosa, wild bergamot, from Missouri Wildflowers Nursery) where my research indicates that cold stratification does not improve germination. If the seeds will germinate just as well from a spring sowing, I'd rather scatter them then on the reasoning that fewer seeds will be lost, washed away, buried or eaten than with a winter sowing.
Dear Readers -- Do you sow any seeds outdoors in the winter? If so, do you scatter the seeds as I do or use a more controlled sowing method (e.g., something like this)?

Q: Making Gmail the default mail app made sharing via Email disappear from Photos app? I would like use the "Share" menu in Photos to share photos via email. This was by default bringing up the Mail app, but I don't use that and would prefer to have things simply open in Gmail in my browser (Chrome).
I was able to configure GMail as my default mail reader by letting GMail set itself up as the default mail handler in Chrome, and then going to Apple Mail and configuring the "Default email reader" to "Google Chrome", like this:

Great! I thought I was all set.  Unfortunately, when I try to use the "Share..." menu in Apple Photos, "Email" is no longer an option. It has simply disappeared:

Is there any way to get the "Email..." share option to show up when using Gmail (via Chrome) as my default mail reader?

A: Correct.
Extensions in the Share menu are provided by the application.  You set something other than Mail.app as the email client, so the Share target disappeared.
I doubt the web browser is providing a Share extension.

PIG RIDER - The Robinson Scratch Theory 2LP
Bedroom / lo–fi psychedelia by these unsung heroes from the 80s DIY cassette culture scene.
From outsider synth–pop to Barrett–esque lysergic folk, from lo–fi garage–punk to basement prog: acid–fuzz guitars, cheap keyboards, primitive electronics, homemade vibe and bizarre, funny lyrics.
Pig Rider were formed in Kent, UK, in the late 60s by John Mayes and Colin Kitchener. With the help from some friends they recorded and self–released a series of acetate only psych–folk albums in the mid–70s ("Heterophonies", "Bloody Turkey Sandwiches"...) which are prime examples of early DIY psychedelic music, highly sought–after since a review of "Heterophonies" appeared on the Galactic Ramble book.
In 2013, collector Alexandre Mansuy (from the influential "Somewhere There Is Music" blog), having only listened to their "Heterophonies" album, found John and Colin and was astonished when they told him their story: "Heterophonies" was only one of their many, many great recordings, 22 in all, including 45s, acetates and tapes. Those included complete, and to date unperformed, opera for schools, a song–cycle about Luton, a town they knew nothing about; songs designed to be played backwards, songs which are slightly offensive and others which are too offensive to play at all, anywhere, ever.
Thanks to Alexandre, we're launching comprehensive Pig Rider reissue campaign:
Starting with "The Robinson Scratch Theory", a compilation featuring tracks originally recorded between 1980 and 1986 and released as private cassettes. Pig Rider's sound bring to mind obscure DIY bands like Desperate Bicycles, Instant Automatons or Beyond The Implode but only if those bands knew how to write catchy and well–crafted songs. But the most amazing thing is that Pig Rider were creating this kind of music for their own amusement without any knowledge of the post–punk or DIY movement. Although they were listening to bands like the Bonzos, Pink Floyd and The Misunderstood – "I played their "Children Of The Sun" 45 until the groove was worn out! – says Colin, Pig Rider claim the main influence on what they played was the availability of instruments and what they could do with them – not always what they were designed for and always pushing their limits. "We listened to everything, but copied nothing, which is why Pig Rider doesn't sound like anything else", says John.
We'll follow our Pig Rider reissue campaign in July with two of their ultra–rare 70s acetates reissued for the first time: ""Bloody Turkey Sandwiches" (1974) and "Heterophonies" (1975).
So, welcome to the twisted world of one of the truly pioneering DIY psychedelic–pop bands.
"We didn't try to copy anyone else's style because they were better at it than we were!" – Pig Rider
"...How can it be possible that a band like this, with such a huge and fantastic catalog stayed in the shadow all these years? There is no other example like this in the music history, as far as I can think of, making it one of the more interesting band ever. Pig Rider could be the first truly DIY band predating The Desperate Bicycles by a few years..." – Alexandre Mansuy (Somewhere There Is Music)

In author Larry Correia's widely circulating book bombing of recommended Hugo candidates, "Championship B'tok" could only be mentioned. Apart, alas, from its magazine appearance (Analog, September 2014 issue), "Championship B'tok" simply wasn't available. For those curious about my writing, Larry's post pointed instead to my time-travel novella, A Time Foreclosed.
Well. A lot of you went out and bought A Time Foreclosed, to which I say (a) thanks! and (b) I hope you enjoyed it.
It's not that I obsessively sat watching the Amazon rankings or anything, nope nope, but within 24 hours the Amazon/Kindle ranking for A Time Foreclosed shot from mumbledy mumble (large number) to a splendid 3470. That made A Time Foreclosed #17 among time-travel fiction and #24 among all hard SF. Yay! ATF's ranking remains greatly improved from before the bombing.
FoxAcre Press, the publisher of A Time Foreclosed, also took note of the sales spike. They asked if they might publish "Championship B'tok" for me. You can guess my response. With almost FTL speed, FoxAcre has made available Kindle and (should be appearing Real Soon Now at bn.com) Nook editions.
B'tok? I know you've been wondering. B'tok is how the alien Snakes teach military strategy. B'tok is to chess as chess is to rock-paper-scissors. You do not want to tick off Snakes -- especially when aggrieved Snakes may be the least of your worries.
If you've enjoyed any of my popular InterstellarNet series -- and more so if you have yet to encounter it -- I think you'll like "Championship B'tok."

Running Windows 10, Python 3.9.6

A: Try:
python3.9 -m pip install pillow --upgrade

This helped me with library issues.
See also: upgrade pillow suggested, but then already up-to-date
Try this for all library problems, which occur. It must be done with same user and environment like the executed script. Consider to install libraries only as root/admin or use a clean environment.
Edit: The problem is, if a library is installed in different environment, it's probably found by pip, but not by your python interpreter. "--upgrade" reinstalls a library no matter if it's already installed or not.

A: try to add --trusted-host:
python3.9 -m pip install pillow --upgrade -i http://pypi.douban.com/simple/ --trusted-host pypi.douban.com

it solved my problem

Drug Gang was a book far out of my normal reading boundaries, but I wanted to step outside my normal fantasy and romance filled novels. This book felt cinematic in a sense, something along the lines of the Godfather (but fictional, and not the same plot).
This book felt me feeling 'meh' at some points – it would pick up speed and get really good, then go bland for a few pages, then get exciting and full of action, then slow down again. I love a story that moves at a fast and furious pace, so in that sense the book was not for me.
John's adventures in the drug dealing business was interesting. I felt like some situations just fell perfectly into place for him, but it was still a fun read. Instead of a general build to the plot points, they happened suddenly and out of the blue. I would have liked some building up to the main plot points if this book wasn't going to go hard and fast. Although, it was interesting since I don't tread in that fictional water often.
My biggest cons for this book were the following: lack of females (as much as I understand this is a man's world/perspective, it just seemed weird there were NO women hanging around for most of the novel…with speaking parts, that is), and the writing style didn't match well with my reading style.
Disclaimer: There's some REAALLLLLLLY dark scenes in this book, so if you are the faint of heart or don't like brutal scenes don't go for this book. It's a hard R, wild ride.
Overall, this book was cool! I definitely want to continue reading this series because it's so different. While I've heard of this concept a lot, I've never actually read books like this. If you wait to get into this novel, you might find it to get more addicting as you go. I found myself really hooked about 3/4ths into the novel.
I received a free, virtual copy of this novel from Neil Walker in exchange for an honest review.

Phase II study of the efficacy and safety of cisplatin-epinephrine injectable gel administered to patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma

Purpose: To study the efficacy and safety of percutaneous cisplatin-epinephrine (CDDP-EPI) injectable gel in patients with localized unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients and Methods: Eligible patients had histologically proven HCC, no prior treatment except for surgery, and no more than three tumors (each measured ≤ 7 cm, total tumor volume ≤ 200 cm3). They were treated percutaneously under ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) guidance, with up to 10 mL of CDDP-EPI gel (1 mL contains 4 mg of CDDP and 0.1 mg of EPI) per treatment and four treatments in 6 weeks to a maximum of eight treatments. The primary end points were tumor response, defined by change of percentage of tumor necrosis according to CT criteria, and safety. Survival parameters were secondary end points. Results: From June 1997 to April 2000, 58 patients (median age, 65 years) entered the study. All patients were assessable for safety, and 51 were assessable for efficacy. The median number of treatments was four (range, one to eight treatments). Objective response rate was 53% (27 of 51 patients), including 16 complete and 11 partial responses. Of the 27 responders, 14 (52%) subsequently developed progressive disease, but in most of them (93%), a new tumor arose at untreated liver sites. Median survival was 27 months (range, 18.4 to 35.7 months). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates were 79%, 56%, and 14% respectively. The procedure was well tolerated with only minor side effects. Conclusion: Percutaneous local ablation with CDDP-EPI injectable gel can induce significant tumor necrosis and local control for localized unresectable HCC, and the treatment is well tolerated.

N2 - Purpose: To study the efficacy and safety of percutaneous cisplatin-epinephrine (CDDP-EPI) injectable gel in patients with localized unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients and Methods: Eligible patients had histologically proven HCC, no prior treatment except for surgery, and no more than three tumors (each measured ≤ 7 cm, total tumor volume ≤ 200 cm3). They were treated percutaneously under ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) guidance, with up to 10 mL of CDDP-EPI gel (1 mL contains 4 mg of CDDP and 0.1 mg of EPI) per treatment and four treatments in 6 weeks to a maximum of eight treatments. The primary end points were tumor response, defined by change of percentage of tumor necrosis according to CT criteria, and safety. Survival parameters were secondary end points. Results: From June 1997 to April 2000, 58 patients (median age, 65 years) entered the study. All patients were assessable for safety, and 51 were assessable for efficacy. The median number of treatments was four (range, one to eight treatments). Objective response rate was 53% (27 of 51 patients), including 16 complete and 11 partial responses. Of the 27 responders, 14 (52%) subsequently developed progressive disease, but in most of them (93%), a new tumor arose at untreated liver sites.

They've been transformed into tiny bespoke coffee kiosks, ticket offices for tourist attractions and even tapas bars after lying abandoned for years.
Now an iconic city centre blue police box is being used as a barber shop offering free haircuts and beard grooming for men who have been affected by homelessness.
Street Barber Edinburgh, which runs from Leith Walk Police Box on the last Saturday of each month, will be branching out to include women's hair styles from February.
The bespoke police box, complete with electricity and running water, is rented from a private individual who gives community groups discounted rates.
Customers also get free tea and coffee and gift bags of donated toiletries such as soap, shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste from individuals and companies including Lush and nearby Tesco and Sainsbury's supermarkets.
Kenny, who was one of the first customers at Street Barber Edinburgh when it started last October, said: "Having your hair cut makes you feel good. Even if just for a while.
"It's great to see that folk care and are ready to be in the cold to do something like this.
The project was the idea of Zakia Moulaoui founder of the Invisible Cities social enterprise which trains homeless people as walking tour guides.
"When you support folk you focus on emergency things like food and housing. But once people do get a haircut, a bit of pampering time, they do feel better.
Mind you, we also have to set up a gazebo to provide cover from the rain and sun." Moulaoui said.
Sean Keoghan, a freelance professional barber, who gives his free time to the project, said: "A good few of the guys go for short back and sides, but a lot of the younger ones want a skin fade haircut - cut very, very short at the bottom and then gets longer as it goes up. It's a very modern, youthful look.


The Maine Citizen Trade Policy Commission, a legislator-run, bipartisan governmental body, recently sent a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer in strong support of his focus on limiting the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) system, and calling for ISDS to be removed in its entirety from NAFTA. The letter noted that over the Commission's 15-year history, it had repeatedly called for eliminating ISDS from trade and investment agreements because it is an arbitrary system that favors foreign corporations, lacks accountability, is undemocratic and side-steps the judicial system established in the U.S. Constitution. The letter listed a series of policies adopted by U.S. states and localities that had been the subject of ISDS litigation, including California's ban on MTBE (a gasoline additive that polluted groundwater), tobacco regulations and state court judgments. The letter pointed to the current dispute involving the Canadian company Cooke Aquaculture, which has threatened to file an ISDS case seeking $76 million in claimed damages following the enactment of environmental laws in Washington state that would phase out Atlantic salmon aquaculture in Puget Sound.
Why has Maine been so active on trade policy? The press conference held in support of the legislation creating the Commission–the Maine Jobs, Trade and Democracy Act-with its litany of outsourced jobs and plant closings, gives a flavor of the times when the legislation passed in 2003. The Commission has endured through economic ups and downs, changes in political fortune and shifting legislative control, operating mostly by consensus–perhaps reflecting a political consensus on trade policy in the state itself.
But Maine isn't alone in establishing a commission or legislative committee to provide a forum for reviewing trade policy and advising state and federal officials. Washington state's Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Trade Policy was established in 2003 to monitor the impact of trade agreements on Washington state laws. The Vermont Commission on International Trade and State Sovereignty is a longstanding and robust entity that has weighed in on many trade policy issues, including ISDS, international interference with state chemical legislation, and a proposed EU trade deal that is currently on hold. Utah's International Relations and Trade Commission has been active for more than a decade, taking on issues including protecting the state's authority to regulate gambling in the face of WTO decisions related to online gambling. More recently, Minnesota established a Trade Policy Advisory Council to advise and assist the governor and legislature "on issues related to United States trade agreements and assesses the potential impact of federal trade agreements on the state's economy." Legislative committees on trade have also been established in Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Texas and Wisconsin.
In addition, many of these and other states have refused to be bound by trade agreements that would open up state public procurement to foreign investors. These states want to protect their authority to determine procurement policy, both to support small and minority business opportunities and local policy priorities, such as renewable energy and farm-to-institution programs, and because of concerns that imported products may be produced under unsafe and inhumane conditions. Indeed, Maine led the nation by passing the nation's first anti-sweatshop purchasing law in 2001, requiring companies selling clothing and apparel to the state government to certify that the factories they use meet basic workers' rights standards set out in international treaties. Maine's legislation creating the trade commission was part of this ongoing effort to promote ethical purchasing.
With NAFTA 2.0 negotiators working around the clock to finalize a deal, legislators from these and other states will be keeping a close eye on what any final agreement includes. Foremost among the issues of interest will be ISDS. State legislators regardless of political party have repeatedly expressed their opposition to ISDS. They will likely make their voices heard when the final text is released publicly, if ISDS has not been either completely removed or significantly cut back.
Note: This is the first part of a series on the Maine Citizen Trade Policy Commission. IATP's Sharon Treat serves on the commission as a citizen member representing environmental interests.

Preacher cornered gay man and shouted 'you're spreading Aids' in homophobic rant
Gergana KrastevaFriday 3 Sep 2021 9:19 pm
The preacher also known as 'Uncle Omar' is a well-known figure at Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, a site famous for public debates since the 1800s (Picture: Richard Baker)
A preacher who called a gay man 'filthy' and 'worse than a terrorist' has been convicted of hate crime.
In an unhinged outburst in Hyde Park, Omar Mohamad, 65, cornered his victim and launched a homophobic tirade against him, accusing him of 'spreading AIDS'.
The man known as 'Uncle Omar' is a well-known figure at Speakers' Corner, a site famous for public debates since the 1800s.
Mohamad, 65, turned on the victim when he called out a man for glorifying terrorism during speeches in the park in October 2019.
In retaliation, the defendant cornered the white Islamic convert for six minutes and subjected him to a hate-filled attack that was captured on video.
The preacher was also previously convicted of hitting a police officer in the face with a walking stick when violence broke out at a right-wing rally led by English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson.
Mohamad denied committing a hate crime, however, just after a one-day trial at City of London Magistrates' Court on Wednesday he was found guilty of using threatening, abusive, insulting words or behaviour to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
Kalsoom Shah, senior crown prosecutor at CPS London South, said after the conviction that Mohamad carried out a 'nasty personal attack on the victim based on his sexuality'.
He added: 'London's Speakers' Corner has had a proud and longstanding tradition of providing a space for debate, but this does not mean it is a safe space for hate crimes.
'Mohamad carried out a personal attack on the victim based on his sexuality.
'His words were homophobic, hostile and designed to intimidate and discredit the victim, who was left feeling extremely upset.
'I want to thank those that called out this nasty behaviour at the time, and all those who provided statements to help the prosecution.
'Hate crime has no place in our society. I hope this conviction gives other victims of hate crime the courage to come forward.'
The Crown Prosecution Service said that due to the nature of the hate crime, prosecutors will seek an increased sentence.
Mohamed, from Reading, Berkshire, will be sentenced at City of London Magistrates' Court later this month.

After years of sustained campaigning from animal rights groups, earlier this year saw the government pass sweeping regulations to require all slaughterhouses to install CCTV systems. The hope is that the increased monitoring can not only help prosecute abuses, but also use the extra transparency to keep public trust in the meat industry. Whilst the legislation was passed this May, producers might not be aware that the deadline for installing CCTV is rapidly approaching – 5th November. Choosing and installing an effective CCTV system can sometimes take extensive planning, so we thought this would be the perfect time to go through the new abattoir CCTV regulations, and highlight some of the possible pitfalls to consider.
The first thing we recommend is reading through these, as it spells out the new regulations in great detail. Our guide below doesn't cover every element of the law, but are some of the main points that we feel should be taken into consideration, from our perspective as specialist sellers of livestock monitoring and farming CCTV systems.
Perhaps most alarmingly, the regulations call for videos to be held for at least 90 days before being deleted. Compare this to requirements for venues that sell alcohol, who are only required under licence terms to hold footage for 30 days. Combined with 15fps recording, this can lead to some eye wateringly large potential storage requirements. As an approximate example, 4 cameras recording 1080p at 15fps 24/7 for 90 days would need over 8TB! Luckily, there are some ways to cut this down. Our Hikvision IP cameras can use efficient H.265 video compression, which can reduce storage requirements by around 40%.
We have a range of HD IP systems available, however applications like these often need bespoke systems. Luckily, our team of advisers have years of experience putting together highly specialised solutions, so just get in touch today!


Is BIM the hot topic in homebuilding systems? If true, should I earnestly learn more about it?
We do see a trend in the industry moving in the direction of unitizing purchasing. For many years, builders have separated labor from materials and now they are beginning to count sticks and bricks.


The Elusive "sea asparagus" from the Welsh coast is becoming a much sought-after delicacy amongst the top chefs in the UK. Also known as samphire, the sea plant grows mainly along the coast of Carmarthen Bay and North Gower but can be found in abundance in salt marshes and tidal mudflats on the coast.
A crisp coastal vegetable that tastes of the sea, samphire makes this sophisticated salad the perfect light lunch or seasonal starter. The salty flavour works beautifully with the sweet crab meat and vibrant summer beans.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the samphire, peas and broad beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, until just tender. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Pod the broad beans, if you like. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the crab with the crème fraîche and lemon zest and juice. Season to taste.
Arrange the samphire, bean and pea mixture between 4 plates. Divide the crab between each and top with some rocket. Drizzle over the olive oil and lemon juice. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.


Le Marais, literally "the swamp", was originally exactly that. It wasn't until the 13th century that convents came to the area and it began to develop life and culture. The neighborhood became part of Paris when Charles V reinforced and extended the city wall constructed under Philippe Auguste. Charles V then moved to the Hotel St-Paul in the Marais, but his successors preferred the Hotel des Tournelles. It was here that Henri II died, following a wound from a tournament. Catherine de Medicis later had the mansion torn down.
The Place Royale (now the place des Vosges), built by Henry IV, was finished in 1612 and the Marais became a very stylish neighborhood, home of many grand French mansions and "salons", a sort of intellectual and philosophical conversation group. But after the Henry IV's assassination (by Ravaillac) and Louis XIII's accession, the high society left the area and it was taken up by artisans and small industries.
Today, a trip around the Marais shows the numerous restorations it has seen. The neighborhood contains some of the oldest buildings in Paris, and their architectural treasures make the Marais a charming and unforgettable place to visit.
The churches of St-Eustache and St-Germain l'Auxerrois held the first Parisian marketplace, dating from the beginning of the 12th century. In 1183, Philippe Auguste enlarged the marketplace and built a shelter for the merchants, who came from all over to sell their wares. For centuries, until the marketplace was moved to Rungis, The Halles were the "stomach of Paris". The liveliness once associated with the area has disappeared, even if the new modern shopping mall, the Forum des Halles, still attracts a large number of people. On the other side of Boulevard Sebastopol, a very controversial building project resulted in the Pompidou Centre which until very recently attracted the largest number of people of any attraction in the city, including the Louvre. It is the home of the National Museum of Modern Art, and has a fascinating and rich collection of modern works. It is also the home of many temporary exhibitions, and a large public library.

You shouldn't need to be rich to defend your civil rights in court
March 12, 2021 | By DEBORAH LA FETRA
Editor's note: In March 2021, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in Uzuegbunam to allow nominal damages for past completed constitutional injuries. This decision will ensure access to the court (regardless of someone's wealth) to more people who've had their rights violated by the government.
If the government violates your civil rights, should you only be able to defend yourself in court if you can afford a high-priced lawyer (or convince a high-priced lawyer to represent you for free)? Of course not. But an upcoming Supreme Court case called Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski could ultimately open (or close) the courthouse doors to many civil rights plaintiffs.
When Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, it included provisions to ensure that anyone would be able to defend their rights in court—regardless of their wealth or connections. The Civil Rights Act mandated that the government pay the attorneys' fees of plaintiffs that win their civil rights case.
Everyone knows that litigation is expensive, so Congress included this fee-shifting provision in the Civil Rights Act to encourage people to defend their rights in court (and not go bankrupt doing so), and to encourage lawyers to represent pro bono those people whose rights are violated by the government. The fee shift effectively gives victims of civil rights violations access to the courts regardless of their wealth or connections.
But the government frequently tries to get around this provision (i.e., paying the legal fees of successful civil rights plaintiffs) by changing the offending laws while a case is being litigated to avoid being held liable for its past violations of people's rights. Whether the government should be allowed to do this is the principle underlying Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski, a case the Supreme Court will hear later this year. In that case, a student was unconstitutionally prevented from speaking on his public college campus. The college changed its policy before the court ruled and the court dismissed the student's case as moot.
The college is to be commended for changing its unconstitutional policy. But because the court ruled the case moot, the student and his attorney were unable to recover their attorney fees from the government (an amount that can run to hundreds of thousands of dollars through litigation in the Supreme Court).
Make no mistake: it's good when the government concedes that it acted out of constitutional bounds and changes its policies going forward. But that doesn't vindicate the person whose rights were previously violated. That's why, even when there is no monetary component (how does one calculate the dollar value of being silenced?), courts typically award "nominal damages" (often $1) to successful civil rights plaintiffs, as symbolic vindication of their rights.
The nominal damages award, along with the court's declaration that the government acted unconstitutionally, allows successful plaintiffs to have the government pay their attorneys' fees.
Some government attorneys might argue that governments will be less inclined to change offending policies if they're still forced to pay plaintiffs' attorneys' fees. But there are two flaws in that logic: 1) If the government realizes a law violates people's civil rights, the threat of attorneys' fees should never be the motivating factor to change it, and 2) if the government concedes its error early in the case, the amount of fees will reflect the small amount of litigation necessary to achieve that result. Large attorneys' fees will rack up only if the government digs in its heels.
Ensuring that the government pays the attorneys' fees of successful civil rights plaintiffs also serves as a warning to other government agencies that may be acting in the same unconstitutional way. When government agencies are forced to pay for violating someone's rights, other agencies are put on notice that they, too, may be sued and have to pay. The award of fees therefore deters the government's unconstitutional conduct.
PLF submitted an Amicus Brief supporting Uzuegbunam's case and arguing for civil rights plaintiffs' access to the courts regardless of their income or connections. Defending your civil rights in court shouldn't rely on your ability to afford expensive lawyers, or your luck in finding lawyers willing to take on your case for free.
In Uzuegbunam, the Justices should decide that civil rights plaintiffs who suffered a past constitutional injury can pursue their claims to a final judgment. By doing so, the courts will be equally available to anyone brave enough to defend their rights.

In this third of four workshops in Module One: Fundamentals, you'll learn the techniques you need to create a swivel arm to help you connect your various cookset components and easily control the location and heat level of whatever you're cooking. No prior forge experience necessary.
Elements of Module One used as a spit roast.


The Sedmička Technical Club is a space for the development of creativity and interest in technical fields. The Sedmička, handy club was founded in 2014. We try to wake up the interest in technical fields in boys and young girls in a friendly way and playing with kits and trains. We also do 3D printing and work with CAD programs. In fact, behind the buddy form is hidden the methodology, curriculum and experience of a teacher, lecturer and dad-handyman.
Knowledge of mechanics, electronics and manual dexterity is the basis for understanding new technologies.
Computer technology, electronics and many other fields are developing fast, but for successful work in these fields, it is good to gradually learn the various fields and original foundations of these fields from elementary school. The reason is the fact that computer programs are coming and going, but the fundamentals of mechanics, electonics are not changing.


Day Smith Pritchartt wrote about Shutting Down the Sunday School and how she began a hybrid model (FISHING) at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Arlington, Virginia. She took a "traditional" curriculum – Living the Good News (which is now online) and the Episcopal Children's Curriculum – and is delivering it to families in a new way.
An adult formation portal for members of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Wilton, Connecticut to connect to faith practices (Beyond Our Windows).
Faith & Fun @Home is curated by Elizabeth Windsor for St. Matthew's United Methodist Church in Acton, Massachusetts.
Here are a few more models that you can steer folks to who want to learn, but don't have the time or bandwidth to show up regularly for adult formation in person. However, it is still important to build community in person to share learnings on a regular basis whenever possible. For many congregations, that continues to be a difficulty.
ChurchNext provides videos and online learning on all sorts of topics with nationally known respected leaders.
The Society of St. John the Evangelist offers podcasts and daily devotions.
Lent Madness offers a religious version of March Madness in which basketball teams are switched to saints of the church to win the golden halo.
TedTalks offer many opportunities for spiritual enrichment. Brene Brown, an Episcopalian, is their most watched presentation host.
This is just a sampling of what the future may be for Christian formation in our churches. First and foremost, we need to let go of fear – fear of change, fear of trying something new, fear of failure, and fear of the backlash that some may pose to us. But what is the alternative? The good news is that there are many people in small and large congregations who are beginning to think outside the box. We need to engage in networking with them, knowing that when we put our heads together to dream new ways of bringing the Church into being, we will be much stronger. It is time to leave our silos of trying to fix old models that worked a century ago. We are living in a reformation age – think – re-formation. It is time to collaborate, innovate, and use the tools and gifts that God has put before us to help proclaim the Gospel of a new world, a new generation, a new Church.
To help you get connected to others, I recommend the following curated websites that highlight best practices and share innovative ideas that are within our reach.
Tomorrow's post: Part Five: Where Do We Go From Here?


It's strange to have a page about Renee Richards. She's not a Christian, a researcher, a moralist, and is not even outspoken about being transgender. But gender defenders are fond of claiming she's a big activist (she's not) and that she regretted her transition (she didn't).
Jerry Leach calls deceptively her a former "political advocate of SRS"(Flight p112 ) as if to show even the strongest supporters of transgenderism don't really believe in it. Jerry quotes Richards from an interview and advertises her on his website and book. She writes in her autobiography about this very same interview.
If that's not clear enough, asked point blank whether she regrets SRS, she responds, "The answer is no."http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/01/garden/01renee.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1After reading her book, it's clear Richards is a complex person who thinks for herself and she doesn't tow the transgender party line. Leach takes those complexities out of context to make it seem she fits his ideology.
Keith Tiller, Walt Heyer, the former organization Relatives and Friends of Transsexuals, and Help4Families also advertise Richards as regretting her transition, shown below.

McConnell and McCarthy Snubbed by Fallen Jan 6 Officer's Family
(TheRedWire.com) – The January 6, 2021, riot on Capitol Hill took its toll on police officers. Weeks after the event, officials said 140 Capitol Police sustained numerous injuries. Among them were two with cracked ribs, two who endured smashed spinal discs, and one stabbed with a metal fence stake. Officer Brian Sicknick died on January 7 from multiple strokes after suffering beatings during the riot, and two other officers committed suicide. On Tuesday, January 6, Congress honored those first responders who protected the Capitol during the riot. One fallen officer's family snubbed Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
The family of fallen officer Sicknick, and others, greeted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuch Schumer (D-NY) with a handshake or a hug as they accepted Congressional Gold Medals. Then, several of them moved quickly past McConnell and McCarthy, refusing to shake hands. McConnell outstretched his hand as the family, and some officers, walked by them.

After the snub, the two Republican leaders thanked the officers for their service and acts of heroism on that fateful day. When asked by reporters about what happened, McConnell praised the law enforcers for putting their lives on the line. In the hours and days after the riot, police criticized the response from McCarthy. Some GOP members downplayed the event, and the Minority Leader minimized then-President Donald Trump's role in the incident.

Glioblastoma is a human primary brain tumor characterized by a poor survival and limited treatment options. Despite the latest advances in surgery, radiological assessment, and radiotherapy treatment, the incidence of glioblastoma is roughly comparable to that of mortality, and the prognosis is almost always related to intracranial progression after surgery and radio-chemotherapy.
Sara Franceschi is involved in understanding aspects regarding both etiology and progression of the disease at a molecular level. She strengthen her knowledge in brain cancer biology working several months at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center of New York.
The molecular evolution of tumors based on their clonal heterogeneity and the correlation between molecular alterations and different morphology of tumors are investigated by a laser capture microdissection approach, followed by nucleic acids extraction and NGS analysis.
Sara Franceschi is also interested in understanding the molecular alterations at the base of the differences in different survival of patients affected by tumors of the same histological grade, performing cell functional studies to confirm the biological effect of her findings.
Sara Franceschi received her Master's degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology and her PhD in Molecular and Experimental Oncology at the University of Pisa, Italy.

115 of 117 Avandia Cases in MDL Dismissed Due to SOL Problems
Daniels Tredennick May 19, 2014 Pharmaceutical and Mass Torts
Problems with Avandia gained national attention in May 2007, when an article in the New England Journal of Medicine indicated that potential side effects may increase the risk of heart attacks, heart disease and death.
U.S. District Judge Cynthia M. Rufe, a Pennsylvania federal judge, dismissed 115 out of 117 cases that GlaxoSmithKline LLC (GSK) argued were outside the statute of limitations in the multidistrict litigation over injuries caused by diabetes drug Avandia. The ruling was announced on May 16, 2014.
Rufe said that all but two of the cases GSK claimed were outside the statute of limitations had indeed gone past their timeliness, and that the plaintiffs' attorneys are at fault.
Rufe wrote, "Any responsible attorney should have recognized before filing that the claims were time-barred. The court has given plaintiffs the benefit of every doubt, but there is no question that the cases were untimely." Of the 117 total cases, 103 were filed in Illinois, which itself has a two-year statute of limitations, according to Judge Rufe. The earliest Illinois case was filed in June 2013, about four years too late. Most of the other filings were similarly late, Judge Rufe said.
The only two cases that are still viable are those of Ann Emmert and Earl Gregory, according to Judge Rufe. Emmert is a Florida resident, where the statute of limitations is four years. Emmert allegedly suffered a heart attack in August 2004 and underwent bypass surgery in April 2010. Gregory is a Kentucky resident, where the statute of limitations is only one year. He allegedly suffered multiple heart attacks beginning "in or around 2011 to present." In both cases, Judge Rufe determined that, at this time, "the record currently before the court is insufficient to enter summary judgment in favor of GlaxoSmithKline."
The litigation stems back to 2010, when an investigative report from the U.S. Senate Finance Committee concluded that GlaxoSmithKline was aware of the possibility that the use of Avandia — a onetime blockbuster diabetes treatment — was correlated with increased cardiac risks, years before the risks became publicly known, and that the company failed to timely notify the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
GlaxoSmithKline has paid out billions of dollars to state and federal governments to settle claims of unlawfully misrepresenting Avandia's cardiovascular risks and advertising without proof that the drug could lower cholesterol.
The case is In re: Avandia Marketing, Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation, case number 2:07-md-01871, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
