A judge is allowing a Montana medical cannabis dispensary to continue operating at least temporarily after questioning whether the state health department violated the owner's right to due process in revoking his license without giving him a chance to respond to allegations.
District Judge Don Harris said he'll likely issue a final decision next week in the case involving Montana Organic Medical Supply of Billings, the Billings Gazette reported.
According to the newspaper, Montana Organic's license was revoked after state inspectors alleged owner Steven Palmer failed to conduct lab tests before selling marijuana products, improperly labeled merchandise and bought products from another provider.
The alleged violations stemmed from a state inspection that occurred in June, about two months after tougher regulations took effect concerning pesticide testing, labeling and product tracking.
The state said Wednesday that Montana Organic was shuttered because regulators couldn't determine if Palmer was selling safe products.
Palmer and his attorney argued the state hadn't given him an opportunity to correct violations before revoking his license.
There also have been questions about whether MMJ dispensaries can legally remain in Billings, or whether they need to move outside the city.

Breanna Glaze leads Lanett through playoff run
Published 7:30 am Wednesday, February 24, 2021
For the Lanett girls basketball team to reach the 2A Southeast regional championship, the Panthers needed to defeat the No. 6 team in 2A, a team that had won more than 20 games this season and featured a Division I commit. The Panthers outlasted Geneva County, winning by eight points.
Junior Breanna Glaze was a big reason for the Panthers' success in the regional game, finishing with 31 points, continuing the hot streak she has been on since early January.
"We weren't scared, but we were just nervous, especially for a Tennessee girl [Karoline Striplin] to come here to little old Lanett. We had to show them that we weren't anything to play with," Glaze said. "I feel like they took us as a joke, and we had to prove our point."
Glaze, like a lot of players around the state this season, had to catch her stride midway through the season.
"It took her a while because of the pandemic. We really didn't get an offseason to practice to do anything," head coach Charlie Williams said. "All of them started off kind of rusty."
Along with not having a summer to fine-tune their skills, Glaze and the rest of the Panthers missed most of the month of December, as the team was shut down for quarantine after playing just two games and breaking for the Christmas holiday.
The turning point in Glaze's season was after the team's loss to Ranburne on the road. It was the Panthers' first game after returning from quarantine, and they struggled on the road, losing by 17 points.
In the loss, Glaze struggled to find her shot.
"She just said 'coach, I have to step my game up,'" Williams said. "She sent me a long text and said 'coach you don't need to worry about me. I got you.' From that point on, I haven't had to worry about her since."
Part of the early season struggle was the fact Glaze was rusty. Alongside struggling to find her consistent shot, Glaze was being guarded much differently in her junior year than her sophomore season. After breaking out with 17.4 points and 9.5 rebounds a game last year, opponents made her a focus.
"I just have been getting the shots that I wanted. I wasn't getting them early in the year, but when I get the shot, I just have to take it," Glaze said.
With their early-season struggles, the Panthers felt like they had been written off this season, so the seniors came up with a motto that has been pushing them through their playoff run.
"I feel like we've been very overlooked by everybody," Glaze said. "The motto is 'prove them wrong,' and I feel like we've been proving them wrong. We have to keep and continue to prove them wrong. We have to stand to that motto."
The win against Geneva County put Lanett in the regional championship game for the first time in five years. Only two current players were on the team that went to the regional championship in Jacksonville, though neither of them played big minutes. Now, Lanett is trying to punch its ticket to Birmingham.
"I'm just trying to finish and trying to go all the way. We've never made it this far," Glaze said.
In Montgomery, the Panthers will play LaFayette for the fourth time this season. LaFayette won two of the previous three games, including the 2A Area 7 championship, winning on an Ebony Williams 3-point shot in the corner with less than three seconds remaining in the game.
"No disrespect, but I'm tired of LaFayette," Glaze said. "I feel like we just have to redeem ourselves because in our last game, I feel like we just got too comfortable at the end of the game. This time, we just have to go in and take charge and finish strong."
Though none of his current players have gone this far in their careers, Williams is making sure his team is relaxed before hitting the road.
"Just relax and have fun. It's still a basketball game," Williams said. "Let all the outside people build it up to be more than what it is. We're just going to play basketball. That's the only thing we can do. We can't dictate where we're playing, how we're playing and when we're playing. They say we're playing at 10 o'clock in the morning, we're going to be playing at 10 o'clock in the morning. That's all we can do is go play."

Q: Get Biztalk's message count through C# .NET How can I get total message sent / received at any given point of time by the BizTalk Server through C# .NET?
Any Ideas to achieve this?

A: Message tracking in BizTalk is done using BAM. Of course, you could write your own database and data access API, but why would you?!? See Using Business Activity Monitoring for a primer. Don't be put off by the learning curve - once you get over it, you'll love it!
This book has a very good section on BAM, don't be put off by the version - the basic concepts still apply to 2010.
And finally this tool will speed up your development.

A: A simple approach would be to use the existing BizTalk Perfmon Counters to monitor messages (albeit since the last Host instance restart)
Assuming that you've got a BizTalk Server called BizTalkServer with a SendHost and ReceiveHost configured, the below message counters should give an indication of the messages sent / received:
PerformanceCounter msgsReceivedCounter = new
    PerformanceCounter("BizTalk:Messaging", "Documents received", "ReceiveHost", "BizTalkServer");
msgsReceivedCounter.ReadOnly = true;
PerformanceCounter msgsSentCounter = new
    PerformanceCounter("BizTalk:Messaging", "Documents processed", "SendHost", "BizTalkServer");
msgsSentCounter.ReadOnly = true;

lblSent.Text = string.Format("{0}",  msgsSentCounter.NextValue());
lblReceived.Text = string.Format("{0}",  msgsReceivedCounter.NextValue());

Note that if you have more than one BizTalk host in your group, you will need to aggregate across all hosts.
More on using the PerformanceCounter class in C# here.
More on the BizTalk PerfMon Counters here.

A: You can get that information from querying Tracking Database MessageInOutEvents table. This is one single table where all the activities are stored.
The only requirements is you should have switched off the global tracking property in your BizTalk environment.

The Starke County Forest will soon get a native plant garden. The recently-upgraded access road now ends at a circular parking loop, with an open space in the middle.
The Starke County Park Board agreed Tuesday to let Naturally Native Nursery of South Bend fill the space with a colorful arrangement of flowers and grasses. Rough Blazing Star, Smooth Aster, Black-eyed Susan, and Prairie Flox are among the types of flowers that will be included.
Forester Bruce Wakeland presented the proposal. He said he would help maintain the new garden for the first couple years, but it shouldn't require much work after that, since most of the plants are perennial.
The plants and installation are expected to cost $1,050. That will come out of the Forest Fund, which is funded by the forest's timber sale revenues.
A cost estimate was also presented for a linear planting along the west side of the road, but Wakeland and the park board said they'd rather keep the space open for overflow parking.

Fabulous Beekman Boys Now Appearing in PrintfreeportpressdOctober 6, 2015 October 6, 2015
[responsive] [/responsive]Call it the "farm to page" concept of publishing. Meredith is partnering with Beekman 1802 to launch a new lifestyle magazine called the Beekman 1802 Almanac.
"Beekman 1802 was started in 2008 when former advertising exec Josh Kilmer-Purcell and his partner Brent Ridge, who used to be VP of Martha Stewart's Healthy Living, bought the historic Beekman farm in upstate New York," notes Bill Mickey in Folio:. "The pair worked with local farmers and artisans to launch a mercantile. A reality TV program debuted shortly after."
"The Beekman 1802 Almanac will combine all of those elements into a curated collection of farm-to-page content—gift ideas, country cooking recipes, entertaining and gardening tips and so on—inspired by 19th century-style almanacs," Mickey continues.
Fans of the reality TV show "The Fabulous Beekman Boys" will surely go for this idea. And it's backed by a model that works; the Martha Stewart Living deal was handled in much the same way, Mickey explains. Meredith will handle production and distribution, while Beekman will work the editorial side. Both companies, Mickey notes, will sell ads and split that revenue.
You can bet we'll be watching for the 96-page Fall/Winter premiere issue to hit the newsstands tomorrow. And we'll probably skip lunch while we devour it all. Our bet is this is a hit.

If it was just the color there would be so much trouble, but fewer gets complicated. I also noticed that the box was a bit hit and had at least two labels with names of other clients and covered with blank labels, indicating that he probably this tennis has been sold and returned twice. I tried to change / cancellation by the Dafiti site, but the bugs of the system did not allow, always gave an error. I complained then the company page on a social network and quickly contacted me. Admitted to being a stock error, They said they did not have the correct number and offered three options: return the product with reversal of the amount paid, or substitute another product or exchange for gift certificate. I opted for the reversal. Quickly also sent me a permit post. Plus point for speed, They did not take or part-time to solve the case (It does not take days / weeks as a computer store whose name begins with Balloon…). Downside for not doing the retreat and compel me to go to the post office wasting time and money to fix their mistake. Compensation for it? A discount on the next purchase? A small gift certificate? Nothing! I think they do a lot of question that I keep client. It was my first purchase, I do not say it will be the last, but there is another store with the same product and price not much higher, I opt for the other store.
Then I got so. The Dafiti announced color A and color B and sent the wrong number. Nike Store He announced color B and sent to the color, but hit the numbering. As the first option was the color A (I was not in the site Nike Store), the error of Nike Store It ended up being beneficial. The confusion of colors may be the same Nike (a fábrica, not the store), They may have made two different colors with the same code or something.
For anyone interested, the Female tennis Nike Air Pegasus 31 still available in Nike Store with various colors and models, and also remained some options in Netshoes and Dafiti.

Women are put off by men who post selfies, self-portrait photograph, on social networking platform, according to a new survey by matrimonial portal site Shaadi.com.
The survey was conducted to understand what Indian women dislike about men.
When women were asked about that one thing they dislike the most about men, 23.1 percent of the respondents said that they dislike "Men who post selfies on Facebook".
The poll was conducted online with over 6,500 urban youth across India, said a statement Friday.
When women were asked about what they disliked about a man upon meeting him for the first time, 60.60 percent of them said that they dislike 'men who are constantly tweeting or messaging on WhatsApp during a meal".
As many as 80.70 percent of them said "rude behavior with the waiter at a restaurant" was a big no, and 27.13 percent voted that they dislike 'men obsessed with clicking food pictures'.
"The results reaffirm our belief that the modern Indian woman knows exactly what she wants," said Gourav Rakshit, chief operating officer, Shaadi.com.
"She has her own beliefs, principals and wouldn't compromise on her choices," he added.The poll is a part of the constant research that Shaadi.com conducts in its attempt to gauge the preferences of its members.


Nah! I don't think so.
Those who are up to date know that the latest developer preview of Android O has been out for a couple of days now. This is actually the last preview update before the final release and it is safe to assume that most of the things will remain unchanged.
Android O shares a lot visually with Android Nougat, as we have only seen slight visual changes with the notification shade animations and lock screen clock font change.
Away from the design, the name of Android O is yet to be known. We have a version number, Android 8.0, but not a name.
Traditionally, Google gives Android names based on treats; Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jellybean, KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat and now we have Octopus?
In September last year, Google turned 18 and maybe, just maybe the company has outgrown sweet treats and decided to eat healthy.
Anyway, bad jokes aside. Developer Preview 4 comes with a new easter egg which features an egg-shaped octupus that is just floating around. This easter egg has led to many speculating that Android O might be Android Octopus. Yuck!
The speculation does hold water though, Android O is version number 8 and an Octopus does have 8 tentacles. So why would Google go with Octopus? Because they can – Octopus is a food, served as Sushi, fried or… OK, I don't know how else its cooked but you get the point.
I am inclined to believe that Google is trolling everyone and there is overwhelming evidence (sort of) that O should be Oreo. Google did announce a partnership with Oreo to launch a game known as "Space Dunk" early this year. Secondly, as far fetched as this may be, John Anon from Android Headlines pointed out that the blue background, black and white colors of the Octopus are in line with Oreo's branding, not an exact match but they point to the same direction.
As impatient as I can be when it comes to such things, we will have to wait and see what Google has in store in regard to Android O's name.
For now, that Octopus easter egg leaves more questions than 18 year old google.com can have answer to.
That octopus has egg on it's face.

a crown of spoons in my hair.
the neck of an Italian girl.
hanging from its disgusting face.
the Italian girl into my hair.
my head pressed flat to the floor.
sated and tender in a tangle.
more subtle ear pressed my pulse.
its course around my vascular shame.
left crying off a clothes-line.
toothy guideposts with new gravity.
and unraveling with the left.
with fingers slender as a wave of knives.
like I was fully constituted.
I will still be young and forgetting winter.
my fingers open. Trees will spill out.
placed my insides on the surface.

Q: How to properly set corner-radius of a MX List and get rounded corners? I have a mx.components.List component with a bunch of custom styles:
<mx:Style>
    .dropDownListStyle
    {
        border-style: solid;
        corner-radius: 4;
    }
</mx:Style>

I'm creating the list in AS:
_dropDown = new List();
...
_dropDown.styleName = "dropDownListStyle";

The List is then added as a popup with PopUpManager:
PopUpManager.addPopUp( _dropDown, this );

The problem is that the corners of the newly created popup are not rounded. I found that border-style is needed in order to get the effect, but adding this property didn't help. I'm building the project with Flex 4.1, but the List and its parent are MX components and it's a lot of work to migrate them to Spark.
Any ideas how can I get rounded corners? Thanks in advance!

A: List components (neither mx, nor spark) do not have the corner-radius style defined.
you should consider overriding the list component, an implementing that style, or a much easier way, put your list without any borders into a container that can set its corner-radius, and pop up that component:
/*Box, Canvas, Group...*/
.dropDownListHolderStyle {
    corner-radius: 4;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    border-color: #FFFFFF;
    border-style: solid;
    border-weight: 1;
    padding-bottom: 2;
    padding-top: 2;
    padding-left: 2;
    padding-right: 2;
}
/*List*/
.dropDownListStyle {
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

and the component:
<s:VGroup id='_dropDownPopup' styleName='dropDownListHolderStyle' [...]>
    <s:List id='_dropDown' styleName='dropDownListStyle' [...] />
</s:VGroup>

[...]
PopUpManager.addPopUp( _dropDownPopup, this );

A: I used cornerRadius style property not corner-radius, perhaps you have misspelled it? But I did only Spark so it might not work in your context.

Review of Troilus and Cressida
Posted on August 6, 2010 August 6, 2010 by Steven Samuels
Troilus and Cressida is one of Shakespeare's least-read, least-performed, least-understood, and least-appreciated plays. Sometimes considered one of the histories, sometimes considered a tragedy, and at times funny enough to be thought of as a very strange comedy, it tends to be classed as a "problem play," like Measure for Measure and A Winter's Tale, and it's certainly problematic. A tale of the becalming and then the revving up of the Trojan War in its seventh year, its portrait of frankly venal Greeks and Trojans (all the big names from The Iliad, with Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde serving as a source, too) is played out against the title characters' story of doomed love. Two seemingly minor roles almost steal the Montford Park Players' show: Pandarus (David Mycoff), Cressida's uncle and one of the most depraved panderers in theatrical history, and Thersites (Ryan Madden), a Greek servant and fool whose laugh-inducing, bitter wisdom is frequently thought to represent Shakespeare's personal worldview at this late stage of his career.
The resulting mishmash of tones made this an unpopular play in Shakespeare's time (if, in fact, it was ever performed in his lifetime), and not until the twentieth century did producers see possibilities in a script now perceived as modern, even "avant-garde." Still, the play continues to puzzle, as if its disparate pieces could never be forged into a coherent whole. That whole, though, can be descried, and is pointed to by Thersites' line, "and war and lechery confound all!" The plot, such as it is, converges on parallel storylines about one Greek and one Trojan—Achilles (Darren Marshall) and Troilus (Jonathan Milner)—too besotted with love to care about war, until their loves—Patroclus (Trinity Smith, cross-dressed) and Cressida (Magdalen Zinky)—are undone. Director Jason Williams appears to understand this, and it gives his production greater clarity than one might expect.
Clarity is a quality Williams mercifully seeks and, for the most part, achieves. His postmodernist tendency to heighten rather than minimize contrasts throws all the characterizations into high relief, which helps us to see what's really going on but also tends toward parody, which produces laughter but undercuts belief. So, for instance, when Travis Kelley's big, buffoonish Greek Ajax willingly takes on Matt Tavener's Trojan Hector in one-on-one combat (because Achilles, too busy in his tent with Patroclus, refuses), Ajax is comically revealed fully to be the dimwit his fellow Greeks describe and we are entertained. But we are never able to take these Greeks or Trojans seriously, so Shakespeare's unpleasant portrait of them is undermined.
Similarly, the early parade of Greek heroes is played to the audience self-consciously and campily, which amuses but distances us from any sense of how these warriors were worshiped, however unworthy they may have been. Williams himself, as the cuckold Menelaus, wins laughter with his portrait of an abashed loser, but should Menelaus, like Ajax, simply be a clown? And though a raunchy make-out scene between Paris (Scott Keel) and Helen (Trinity Smith again, as a woman) suggests why their love might have led to this war, as well as revealing plausible aspects of debauched court life in Troy, it also leaps out of the play into a mesmerizing world of its own, and overmatches the ultra-important passion of Troilus and Cressida, who seem comparatively uncomfortable when they embrace.
Though Shakespeare's language is handled especially well by Mycoff, Marshall, Madden, and Nathan Adams in a surprisingly sympathetic reading of the minor part of the Trojan ruler Priam, the other players are less consistent, making it advisable that attendees read the script before heading to the park. It must also be said that some nontraditional casting of women in men's roles is less than successful. In particular, though Smith is a more-than-capable performer, casting her as Achilles' male lover—a key element of the story—confuses far more than it illumines, if it illumines at all.
In the end, this production of Troilus and Cressida is as mixed a bag as the play itself. But, as with the Shakespeare original, one is grateful for it.

Gold and silver market morning: Physical gold shortages ahead?
The New York gold price closed Monday at $1,071.70 down from $1,072.50. In Asia and London, prices held at $1,071.35 with the dollar index almost unchanged at 98.02 up from 97.99. The euro slipped slightly to $1.0969 down from $1.0983 on Monday against the dollar. Ahead of New York's opening, the gold price was trading at $1,069.75 and in the euro at €975.38.
The silver price in New York closed at $14.36. Ahead of New York's opening the silver price stood at $14.00.
Monday saw sales from the SPDR gold ETF of 1.19 tonnes again, but no sales from the Gold Trust. The holdings of the SPDR gold ETF are now at 643.558 tonnes and at 153.72 tonnes in the Gold Trust. These small sales during this festive season are trying to chip away at the gold price. The gold price is weakening in thin trade while the euro moves sideways against the dollar.
We do expect to see weaker prices for the rest of this week, giving the potential for volatility next week as prices then find a level determined by the $: € rate as 2016 gets underway.
What we can report before the last week of the year's numbers are counted up, is that Asian demand has been higher than it was in the record breaking 2013, when the gold price lurched down in April of 2013 drawing record demand from the east.
In India, legally recorded demand is over 1,000 tonnes with smuggled gold guessed at 250 tonnes again. In China retail demand as measured by the withdrawals from the Shanghai Gold Exchange is +2,600 tonnes while imported gold is recorded at 1,440 with locally mined gold reaching around 475 tonnes of gold. This implies scrap gold levels of supply inside China of 685 tonnes, unless recorded imports have missed certain unreported imports. This seems high as gold supplied to the SGE needs to be re-refined, an expensive process.
Nevertheless, Asian demand recorded by just these two countries, excluding scrap, is around 3,165 tonnes with total annual supply (including scrap) at just over 4,000 tonnes. This leaves around 835 tonnes for the rest of the world. We expect that supplies to the market from mining and scrap had to be supplemented by London and New York's liquidity. There is a point where such liquidity dries up. This could make 2016 a very different year to the one most institutions are expecting for the year. With the dollar likely to weaken against the euro and other currencies, the developed world may find such shortages happening early in the year.

Higgins sneaks past Allen to book spot in Masters last eight
John Higgins is looking to add a third Masters title to his collection, having previously been victorious in 1999 and 2006
John Higgins blew a huge sigh of relief after fighting off a valiant comeback attempt from Mark Allen to edge into the Masters quarter-finals in Milton Keynes.
The 45-year-old got off to a blistering start in the pair's opening-round tie, knocking breaks of 56 and 82 in frames three and four respectively to take a healthy 3-1 lead into the mid-session interval.
After Allen hit back with two frames in succession, Higgins duly responded by putting himself on the brink of victory at 5-3 in the best-of-11 clash at the Marshall Arena, where the second Triple Crown event of the season is being held due to Covid-19 restrictions.
And after weathering another Allen storm to take the decider and eventually prevail 6-5, world No.6 Higgins admitted both players made mistakes in a game that could have swung in either's favour.
"I'm delighted to get over the line, it's a great win for me," said the Wizard of Wishaw. "Mark's a top, top player and I don't think I've beaten him at the Masters before.
"I thought it was a good game. We missed a few pots each which is understandable with the pressure of the occasion, but thankfully I got over the line in the end.
"Mark was really unlucky at times in the final frame. He missed the pressure brown and I was able to get in. I thought I played pretty well under pressure at the end."
Without a Triple Crown title since the 2011 World Championship, Higgins believes his ability to grind out victory against Allen could stand him in good stead in his bid to lift the Masters trophy for the third time in his career this week.
Next up is a mouth-watering quarter-final clash with reigning world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan on Friday night, and Higgins is confident there will be plenty of thrills and spills shared between the old rivals with a spot in the last four at stake.
He added: "I've not really been winning deciding frames recently and if you're not doing that it's so much harder to get over the line. Hopefully that'll give me a bit of confidence to push on now.
"Everybody should just stay in, crack open the beers and watch the game against Ronnie. It should be good fun!"

Цви (Цвика) Леви (;
13 января 1948, кибуц Гват — 29 декабря 2018, кибуц Ифат) — израильский общественный деятель, организатор акций помощи солдатам-одиночкам и солдатским вдовам и сиротам. Лауреат Премии Израиля за особые заслуги перед обществом и государством (2017).

Биография
Цвика Леви родился в кибуце Гват в 1948 году; его родители были репатриантами — отец Биньямин из Баку, а мать Ривка из Плотницы (Польша, ныне Беларусь). Цвика получил имя в честь деда со стороны матери, погибшего в Освенциме в 1942 году. В 1954 году семья Леви была в числе основателей кибуца Йефат, в котором проживала с тех пор. В старших классах Цвика был волонтёром в соседнем Мигдаль-ха-Эмеке в рамках движения «Ха-ноар ха-овед веха-ломед» («Работающая и учащаяся молодёжь»); его семья в эти годы неоднократно брала шефство над детьми из нуждающихся семей и детьми со слабым здоровьем.

В 1966 году Цвика был призван в армию, военную службу проходил в 202-м батальоне бригады «Цанханим». Участвовал в Шестидневной войне, в ходе которой его батальон с боем брал Газу, понеся при этом значительные потери. По завершении действительной службы Леви вернулся в Йефат, где был занят на разных хозяйственных работах и одновременно продолжал волонтёрскую деятельность, в том числе в рамках резервистской службы оказывал помощь солдатам из бедных семей, помогая им собирать продукты для родных.

В 1973 году Леви как резервист участвовал в войне Судного дня, приняв участие в боях за Суэцкий канал; в связи с обострением обстановки он был призван на резервистскую службу на 180 дней. Ещё до окончания войны он женился на Наоми Суто, получив на свадьбу четырёхдневное увольнение. В браке с Наоми у Цвики позже родились пятеро детей (одну из дочерей они потеряли в восьмимесячном возрасте из-за синдрома внезапной детской смерти).

Многочисленные потери, понесённые израильскими войсками в ходе войны Судного дня, заставили Леви обратить свои усилия как волонтёра в новое русло: он начал работать с семьями погибших солдат. В 1982 году он, снова в рамках резервистской службы, принял участие в Ливанской войне; на следующий год он получил предложение присоединиться к фонду бригады «Цанханим» в помощь солдатским вдовам и сиротам, и тем самым из волонтёра-одиночки превратиться в часть массовой добровольческой инициативы. С этого же года Леви расширил свою деятельность в поддержку солдат-одиночек. В 1995 году и этот аспект его работы приобрёл официальный статус: начальник управления кадров Армии обороны Израиля Йорам Яир назначил Леви руководителем проекта по поддержке солдат-одиночек из числа кибуцной молодёжи и добровольцев из-за рубежа. С этого момента Леви оставил все другие занятия, полностью сосредоточившись на организации проекта. В рамках его деятельности 18 тысяч солдат-добровольцев из 45 стран получили в Израиле временную семью или были приняты в одном из 150 кибуцев, сотрудничавших в этом вопросе с АОИ. Сам Цвика Леви получил прозвище «отец всех солдат-одиночек», в 1997 году получив почётную медаль президента Израиля за волонтёрскую деятельность.

В 2006 году, в дни Второй ливанской войны, Цвика Леви в возрасте 58 лет снова был призван на резервистскую службу, в течение всей войны осуществляя связь между солдатами-одиночками и их семьями за рубежом. В последние годы жизни он страдал от бокового амиотрофического склероза, постепенно теряя возможность управления собственным телом из-за атрофии мышц. Несмотря на болезнь, прикованный к инвалидному креслу Леви продолжал общественную деятельность, в частности работая над детской книгой «Счастливый конец — из историй дедушки Цвики», которую писал с помощью глазных мышц — последних, которые ещё мог контролировать.

В 2016 году Цвике Леви было присвоено почётное военное звание алуф-мишне. На следующий год он стал лауреатом Премии Израиля за особые заслуги перед обществом и государством. Леви умер в декабре 2018 года, не дожив двух недель до своего 71-го дня рождения, и был похоронен в кибуце Йефат. Работу над книгой «Счастливый конец» он завершил за неделю до смерти.

I have a script that was written and worked very well in version 9.3.1. I have updated the script to work in version 10.0 but am getting an error:ERROR: Executing: CopyFeatures locations_Layer. However I also get the message "Step 5: New Civic Addresses Loaded Successfully)" before the error message. Is there something that I missed updating the script? Below is the portion of code where it is failing.
print "Street Types with NULLS defined"
Remember to import the os module at the beginning of the script... Hope that works for you.
Thanks, but I am still getting the same error.
What is the Civic_Addresses variable set to? It may help to post all of the code.
All of the code is below. Thank you.
Civic_Addresses = db + "\\Civic_Addresses"
print "domains removed from fields"
print "Coord Classes Domain Deleted"
print "Coord Methods Domain Deleted"
print "Coord Sources Domain Deleted"
print "Street Dir Domain Deleted"
print "Street Types Domain Deleted"
print "Unit Types Domain Deleted"
print "table to domains starting"
print "Table to domains complete"
print "renaming of civic address feature class complete"
print "make xy event layer completed"
print "Step 6 is getting started"
Something I noticed about returning messages with GetMessages (which is what you are feeding AddError) is that you tend to get the last successfully ran gp feedback msg (if there are any)....which explains why you got the next print message that 'Step 5' is starting. So look for the error just after that - is the query on your update cursor valid? I'd check that your cursor 'is happy' with that 1st.

Race distance - about 2 miles. Not 8 yrs of age or older unless Grade 1 Chase winner and rated in high 150s. Hasn't finished outside the first two on any completed chase start in England or Ireland. 1st or 2nd last time out and has had previous run since Jan 1. Has won at least 50% of all completed chase starts. If fallen in a chase, has won all others. At least 7 total runs over hurdles/fences. Won't have run more than five times over fences. A chase win in a time under 4 minutes 1 sec or Grade 2 Hurdle winning time under 4 minutes is useful. French bred to be placed. Will have been rated over hurdles in excess of 142 or unbeaten over fences. Will have been favourite or second favourite last time out. Check 2017 Festival novice hurdle form. Won't be a mare. Unlikely to be wearing blinkers. Course winner or Festival placed. Form over 2m 4f would be useful. Can't get away from N Henderson runners with hurdle rating above 145. Not beaten favourite last time. The Supreme/Arkle double is a collector's item. RPR recent hurdle rating of 160+ is very handy.
AGE - Sizing Europe 2010 and Moscow Flyer 2002 only winners for those aged 8 since Commandante '90. Both Sizing and Moscow rated in the high 150s when running in this and both had won the Grade 1 novice chase in December at Leopardstown. 8 yr olds do get placed but not last two years. (None tried 2017 or 2018) 2011 Finians Rainbow 2nd, '10 Osana 3rd, Kalahari King 2nd in '09. No 9 year old winner since Danish Flight '88. One of the best known Cheltenham stats. Will die someday, but when? Footpad was 6 yrs, second and third last year from only fie runners were both seven yr olds. 2017 First three all seven year olds. That year Charbel only 6 yrs and probably would have been placed. Royal Caviar as a nine yr old finished fourth, a country mile behind the placers. Sgt Reckless and Court Minstrel well beaten in 2015.
5 yr olds - Do well with smaller numbers but allowance stopped after '08. 4 winners from 14 races with approximately 20% of the runners. His Excellency 3rd of 7 runners 2013. No 5 yr olds in 5 of the last 7 years. Saint Calvados went off too quick in 2018. None ran in the previous two years, Clarcam beat one home in 2015. Ballywood.
PRICE - Favourites now taking off after Footpad 5/6, Altior 1/4 and Douvan 1/4 following Un De Sceaux 4/6 following Simonsig (hero) 2013 and Sprinter Sacre 2012. I can't find the last time that four consecutive different favourites won a Festival race, never mind five in a row.
Before 2012 we have to go back to Azertyuiop '03, Klairon Davis '95, Remittance Man '91. Short priced and turned over - Champagne Fever (11/4) Medermit (11/4), Captain Cee Bee (5/2), Noland, War of Attrition, Sybillin, Mulligan, Decoupage and Seebald. With small fields and the JLT you might expect more favourites to win. No more than 11 runners each year in this since JLT introduction. (I hear 'disgrace' from Lydia and Steve Mellish on Racing TV).
Six odds on shots this century and all have won. Western Warhorse 33s first winner priced over 11/1 since Waterloo Boy 20s in '89 (I was at Sedgefield the day Western Warhorse won, watched it with Steve, the only man there who had backed it and still don't believe it actually happened). Ordinary World 25s joined Gods Own and Baily Green (both 2nd at 33s) first since Ashley Brook '05 to be placed at 20/1 plus. Probably wouldn't have happened without the Charbel fall. 'There to be jumped.' La di da. Only 9 horses 20/1 and over have been placed in past 23 races. Fox Norton 3rd 2016 at 33s but only 7 runners. Last 25 winners were favourite or second favourite on their previous run.
Since the turn of the century 23 last time out beaten favourites have run. One winner Tidal Bay 6/1. Had been beaten 1/2 length on previous run at Doncaster at 1/4 but had won 3 novice chases that season.
Irish trained - 8 of the last 23 winners and three of the last four with Footpad, Douvan, Un De Sceaux. Sizing Europe '10, Forpadytheplasterer '09, Moscow Flyer '03 and eight others placed out of 64 triers over past 17 years. (Sizing John, Champagne Fever both 2nd, Ordinary World 3rd, Trifolium 3rd 2014. 2013 Baily Green 2nd 2011 Realt Dubh 3rd). Last 9 winners of Irish Arkle finished 3112111161 in this. Le Richebourg NR Some Plan finishing 6th of seven finishers spoilt it a bit. Irish winners of this finished placed 31121111 in the December Leopardstown 2 mile novice. Sir Richebourg NR Footpad won it, Min won it 2017, Douvan won 2016. 2013 Defy Logic beat Trifolium and Champagne Fever. Winners of this who had run in the Irish Arkle finished 111U1FF211 in Ireland.
N. Henderson - Six wins, three seconds and three thirds from 22 runners in past 25 races. Brain Power 14s and second last year. 2016 Vaniteux may have finished second before UR two out. 2015 Josses Hill 3rd, 2014 Grandouet unpl. Before Altior, Simonsig and Sprinter Sacre last winner was Tuitchev in 2000. He has run eight horses in this who had a hurdle rating in excess of 145. Four won, three finished second and Vaniteux. Irish trainers making it hard for him these days but N Henderson but he remains a real trainer. No entry in 2019. Hard to believe.
M/D. Pipe - 5 wins, 2 seconds and a third from 15 runners in past 19. Nothing placed for 7 years and then along comes Western Warhorse. D Pipe immediately admitted that he had spent the previous two weeks trying to persuade the owner, Roger Brookhouse, not to run him. What chance have we? Sail By The Sea from the same connections PU in 2015. No runners last three years and I don't see any in 2018. Well Chief (star) and the Warhorse only had one chase run. Rest back to '94 at least two chase runs.
If it hadn't have been for Western Warhorse Mullins/Henderson would have won all of the last seven.
P. Nicholls - In last 17 has had 20 runners. Two winners, four thirds. However since Azer '03 only three thirds from 15 runners. (No runners last two years, Vibrato Valtat 4th in 2014 after trying to take the favourite on. Dodging Bullets unpl 2014. No runner 2013, Al Ferof unpl 2012). Dynamite Dollars now injured.
A. King - has only ever had 6 runners in this. Probably now as well known a stat as Danish Flight. Jahash in '04 was 4th at 150/1, Kadount '05 was travelling well when UR four out and then he won it twice with Voy Por Ustedes and My Way De Solzen. 2011 Medermit his first runner for 4 years and favourite, only 4th. Last runner was Valdez 4th 2014.
Northern based - Cloudy Dream 12s ran on 2017 to finish 2nd for Malcolm Jefferson. Kahahari King 2nd '09, Tidal Bay won '08 and Monets Garden's 2nd to Voy '06 improves their performance from the previous decade. Overturn well beaten at 7/2 in 2013. No triers 2015, '16, nor '18.
FORM - Only Contraband (3rd) and Moscow Flyer (F) of the last 27 winners did not finish 1st or 2nd in their previous race. Of those 27 only Moscow, Ventana Canyon and Un De Sceaux had actually fallen that season. Moscow had fallen twice and like Un De Sceaux (when not racing Altior), stands up, wins. Ventana Canyon started chasing career in the same 2m 2f Thurles Beginners as Un De Sceaux. 32 from last 34 winners not outside first 2 on any completed chase start that season in GB or Ire. (Not Contraband and Galas Image). Western Warhorse had won his only chase.
22 from last 27 had won at least 50% of their completed chase starts. All of the last seven back to Captain Chris in 2011 who had only one win from 4 runs. 25 of last 31 had won at least twice over fences. (Three of the exceptions where trained by M/D Pipe, Forpadytheplasterer had been 2nd in three Grade 1 chases). Un De Sceaux and Azertyuiop only winners since Anaglogs Daughter in 1980 to make most of the running. Douvan led from the 3rd when Ruby got bored. Altior, in my view, was just OK for a 1/4 shot. Footpad picked up the pieces as Davy Russell and Aiden Coleman both blew their chances by setting a ridiculous pace.
Last 22 no more than 5 runs over fences. Only Western Warhorse of the last 20 wore blinkers. And that was first time. 25 of last 27 winners had at least 7 runs over hurdles/fences. Not Western Warhorse (5). He also became the 5th winner since 1987 to have had less than 3 chase runs. Footpad had won 3 chases, Altior 4 chases.
8 from last 12 had won over 2m 4f. Footpad at Auteuil. Altior had beaten Black Corton 63 lengths in a match but over just 2m 2f. Not the worst form in the book. Not Forpady, only also had won over just 2m 2f. Not Sprinter Sacre, only 2nd in an 2m 4f novice hurdle. Not Douvan, only 2m 1f. Only 12 from last 18 had won a Chase by Tingle Creek Day (7th December). Not Captain Chris, Well Chief or any of the four before Douvan. Won a beginners chase at Navan on 22nd November. Un De Sceaux would have won 1/8 fell in a Thurles Beginners. Not particularly relevant, methinks.
COURSE FORM - Only Un De Sceaux and Voy Por of the last 15 winners had never run here before. Western Warhorse had been 2nd in a Cl3 hurdle off 125. The other 14 had 'good' course form. Definition as follows. Either a course winner or placed at a previous festival. Stat stretched to include Forpadytheplasterer had finished 4th in a G1 Neptune. The other 10 had also either won at least a G3 here or been placed in G2 or G1. Altior won the Supreme. Footpad has been 3rd in a Triumph and 4th in a Champion Hurdle.
Boreen Prince 1985 last runner up in Champion Hurdle to win this the following year. Melon not being aimed. Overturn failed in 2013. Nothing coming from that route in 2019. Apart from Sizing Europe all winners since 1966 had had a run since Jan 1st.
TIMES - This race is usually run in a time under 4 minutes 3 secs (Footpad 4 mins 2 secs in heavy going, Altior 3.55 Douvan 3. 49, Un De Sceaux 3.51, 2014 3mins 47 2013 Simonsig did 4 mins 2 (in soft ground). The three years previous were all run in 3 mins 52. 13 of last 20 winners had already won a chase in a time under 4 minutes 1 second or had posted a time under 4 minutes in at least a Grade 2 Hurdle (Footpad 3. 45 Irish Champion Hurdle, Altior 3.46, Douvan 3.48 in respective Supremes, Sizing Europe 3.50 for an Irish Champion). Altior 3.54 in a Wayward Lad jog. Un De Sceaux had done 4 mins 12 secs for 2m 1f for G1 Leopardstown which was quick. Other exceptions include Western Warhorse, Or Royal and Tuitchev who all had yet to contest a 2 mile chase although the latter had been 6th in the previous years Champion Hurdle. Also Tidal Bay who had posted a time of 4mins 6 over 2m ½ furlong when 2nd at Doncaster, Captain Chris, a course hurdle winner and G2 Pendil winner last time out and finally Simonsig, a Festival G1 winner.
Dynamite Dollars Wayward Lad 3 mins 52. Also 3mins 59 soft ground Henry VIII chase at Sandown. Same time good ground Lightning Chase Doncaster 26th January.
Lalor 3 mins 50 sec, 2m Cheltenham November.
Sir Richebourg G1 Racing Post Leopardstown Christmas 4 mins 4 secs Irish Arkle 4 mins 1, both races 2m 1 f.
Glen Forsa Kingmaker Sandown - 4 mins 2 secs soft ground, half a furlong short of two miles.
Some Plan 4 mins 6 secs for Irish Arkle 2017 and then stuffed in this. Although he finished alone it was 'probably the fastest run Irish Arkle in many years' said Davy Russell. Very likely with the unusually good ground in early Feb that year.
BREEDING - 11 of last 24 winners were French bred from about 25% of runners. 14 weren't. However a French bred has been placed at least in 13 of last 18. Footpad FRE. Douvan was bred in France but is by Walk In The Park, an Irish sire. (The sire of Min, as well). Dynamite Dollars, Le Richebourg.
Kruguyrova '08 only placed mare of ten which have run in the past 19 years. Last mare to win Analog's Daughter '80. Altior is Irish bred by High Chapparal.
RATINGS - 17 of last 19 rated at least 142 over hurdles. Altior, Douvan 160+ Un De Sceaux at least 156. Footpad 157 (Western Warhorse was 125, Voy Por Ustedes not officially rated but likely to not have been much over 120 - both were unbeaten over fences). 9 of last 16 had rating of 156 plus and were the top rated hurdler. Altior was given a rating of 170 after winning the Game Spirit before this. Might now be close to Flyingbolt. Brain Power and Petit Mouchoir both had 3 lbs in hand over Footpad over hurdles according to the handicapper.
2013 Simonsig second top rated hurdler, 2012 Sprinter Sacre lowest hurdle rating 145 of first 4 home.
9 of last 12 winners had won a Pattern race over hurdles (not Captain Chris, Sprinter Sacre or Western Warhorse).

Q: handle translation of website I finished my website and want to translate it in 3 other languages.
The question is not how to translate it, but how to handle the different languages, when you don't use a CMS.
I have all my script with English text in it.
I'm able to translate it in Dutch, French and German, so I'll have 3 folders: 1 folder for each language.
The problem is when I wan't to upgrade the website:
If I change code from the English folder, I'd like to juste copy-and-paste this code for the 3 other languages.
Problem is that I will always have to retranslate it to 3 other languages again.
How do big websites handle translation?
Having multiple folders, with every folder = 1 language, is the way to proceed?
Text coming from database is a better solution? With a table for each language?

A: Make a function with the parameters: string code, language
So for example:
translate('error_1','de_DE');
that "would" return an specified error in German.
So you could create 3 .csv files with all the strings you would need.
And having multiple folders is rubbish.
On the bis pages it just seems as they use different folders but the "folder" is handled via. .htaccess and is changed to i.e. index.php?page=main&language=de_DE


Back into use today is my very expensive TWSBI knockoff aka the M805 Clear Demonstrator SE. This pen worries more than all my other pens put together. I would hate to stain it beautiful crystal clear acrylic.
Into use today comes a very old M800 18K medium nib, the telltale marks to back up this statement are the two chicks and the stamped symbol to the right of M nib size imprint. This nib writes OK - a medium nib is seldom exciting.
This ink was last in use in September 2016, wow how time flies. Black is the most boring ink colour of them all, the most you can expect is minimal shading. On the plus side, there is nothing that says business like black ink on a white page.

The Ubiquitous Yard Goat
Canadian Pacific Railway 6505, Vernon, British Columbia, July 1958. Next to the EMD 567C, two cycle motor, the McIntosh-Seymour four cycle motor had a most captivating sound, unique to the four-cycle family.
At one time, my late Dad worked for Puget Sound Tug & Barge out of Seattle's Pier 59. For a period, he worked inland rules, which meant he worked 15 days on – 15 days off.
In the summer time, I would spend the weekend with him. Harbor work involved a variety of tasks including the extremely dangerous tug-assist docking of freighters. One of the tugs I spent considerable time on was the "Active." She had a highly reliable McIntosh-Seymour 6 cylinder in line engine used in everything from locomotives to warships!
I loved to sit at the upper control station watching the valve rocker arms clicking up and down, with her commanding "ump-pity- tee-dah-dah-dah" cadence.
And what a combination of diesel oil and salt air! Easy to romanticize on the calm inland waters of Puget Sound; quite a different perspective on the storm ravished desolation of the Gulf of Alaska!
So, we were on our way back to Prince Rupert from Seattle when we passed through Vernon, and I was able to jump out of the car and grab this shot of yard goat 6505 working a cut.
The English called them "shunters" Amtrak called them "shifters" but the official name is "yard goat" because they were used to butt cars around the yard.
The trucking industry sometimes applied "yard goat" to small stripped down units used to sort trailers out at terminals. They are most commonly referred to as "spotters."
Many rail fans get mixed up when determining the difference between an ALCo S-1, S-2, S-3 and S-4. It is in the trucks and radiators. If you make a "snap" judgment, you may be wrong. Fortunately, help is available, but you have to look closely at the details!
Railroad Stuff: Canadian Pacific Railway 6505, built by Montreal Locomotive Works (owned by ALCo since 1904.) Powered by a McIntosh-Seymour model 539, naturally aspirated 6- 660 hp diesel, built 1951.
Her sister, CPR 6503 is on static display at the West Coast Railway Association in Squamish, British Columbia, where you can read more of the history of these sturdy yard goats!
Index: Alco, CPR 6505, Kalmar Yard Goat, Montreal Locomotive Works, S-3, Vernon BC
Interesting post on yard "goats" Robert. Sometimes yard crews are referred to as yard "apes". Both terms seek to downplay the importance of yardwork, but without it, no mainline train can be built.
I spent many hours in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba watching CP sister S-3 6569 kicking cars and working local industries, or just burbling away at the station. She spent the nights in a grove of trees in a park across from the station. At that time, the CP Rail scheme was in use, but the grey and maroon scheme looks good in your photo. 6539 is preserved in this scheme in Schreiber, Ontario.
Oil-Electric said...
Right you are Eric! CPR had more than 100 of these doughty little critters. Without blowers, they were a breeze to maintain.
I spent many hours riding around on Prince Rupert's "goat." I NEVER heard the crew refer to her as anything other than the "bitch" if things weren't going good, or "The Lady" if they were having a good day.
Crews come in various sizes as well. One crew was so dead pan, I only stayed aboard because I enjoyed the ride.
The other crew was full of the devil. One evening, we were pushing a handful of tank cars full of fish oil over the scales for the evening time freight.
The Yard Clerk was in the scale house recording weights - he was a real numbers no nonsense type.
The fireman asked me if I wanted to see something funny. He sneaked out of the cab with a track torpedo
and got really close to the Scale Shack.
The engineer and fireman could hardly contain themselves with what was about to take place. And while I had heard a torpedo go off, I was not close. I'm sure my hosts were about to count me among the causalities.
The Clerk motioned us to move up one car length.
BAMB!
A black smoke cloud drifted lazily into the air. Time had stopped.
When my heart re-started, the cab was full of roaring laughter as the Clerk bail out of the Scale Shack heading north!
This same crew was later involved in an accident involving the humping of a Western Air Dump Car loaded with ballast! (See Western Air Dump in search engine) and the stranding of some hobos inside a locked industrial siding!
Passages.

#SJYALit: From Aberrant Girl to Nasty Woman, a conversation between Elana K. Arnold and Amber J. Keyser
April 4, 2017 by Amanda MacGregor Leave a Comment
In the introduction to Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World, Kelly Jensen writes, "What unites feminists is the belief that every person–regardless of gender, class, education, race, sexuality, or ability–deserves equality." This intersection between multiple social justice movements characterizes what we call Third Wave feminism, a term coined in the 1990s, and it seems to be a unifying force right now in the resistance movement spreading across the US in response to the 2016 presidential election.
But what does that have to do with books?
What makes a novel feminist?
In a series of conversations, four young adult authors–Amber J. Keyser, Elana K. Arnold, Mindy McGinnis, and Isabel Quintero–discuss what makes their recent books feminist and why they feel it's important to give teen readers unvarnished reality in their fiction.
Today, April 4th — Amber J. Keyser and Elana K. Arnold take on "unlikeable characters" and the evolution from aberrant girl to nasty woman.
April 11th — Mindy McGinnis and Amber J. Keyser talk about barriers. What happens when a girl smashes up against society's expectations for what a girl should be?
April 20th — Elana K. Arnold and Isabel Quintero address reproductive rights and the power of depicting sex and abortion in fiction.
FROM ABERRANT GIRL TO NASTY WOMAN
A conversation between Elana K. Arnold, author of WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE OF, and Amber J. Keyser, author of POINTE, CLAW.
Amber: I notice that many book reviews that highlight the feminist aspects of a novel usually include a shout-out to an "unlikeable" female character. What does that term mean to you? Does it apply to Nina in WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE OF?
Elana: I find the whole idea of "unlikeability" to be fascinating. Ultimately, I think that when someone labels a character as "unlikeable," that actually tells us a whole lot more about the reviewer/reader than it does about the character. To me, the term "unlikeable" means that the reader has likely reduced a complicated, multifaceted character down to just some of her parts– the reader has decided that some of the character's qualities, actions, or characteristics tell her whole story. It infuriates and fascinates me that we as a culture ascribe a narrower bandwidth of "likeablity" to females than we do to males. I have no doubt that there will be some readers who find Nina to be unlikeable. I think it's more interesting to think about how her actions and perspectives make us feel–both the actions and perspectives we like and those we don't like (which may be different from reader to reader). I think it is interesting to sit in discomfort and pull it apart, wonder at it, and come to terms with it. We can learn a lot about ourselves that way.
Amber: I've been thinking about Nina in your book, Dawn in mine, and other characters (like those in THE WALLS AROUND US by Nova Ren Suma) labeled as "unlikeable." I agree with you that "unlikeable" tends to be pinned on girls and women who express rage, desire, jealousy, and other feelings that aren't considered nice or seemly. And you're right that men get to express a wider range without being labeled as aberrant, and if they are white, upper class men even abhorrent behavior gets excused away (case in point: Stanford rapist Brock Turner). You also said we learn about ourselves by looking at those boundaries between nice and unlikeable. When society and the books that reflect it, shy away from the full range of emotions that women can and do experience, I'm afraid that girls learn to self-censor their "unacceptable" emotions. Psychic hurt happens when we cram ourselves into a cookie cutter version of "girl."
Elana: Amber, your POINTE, CLAW is about two powerful girls whose strengths are in some ways parallel and in some ways very different. And the title, the way both words can be either a thing (a pointe shoe, a claw) and an action (to point, to claw) works as such a brilliant metaphor for the girls. Both of your characters are outliers; they are extreme, in various ways. Many young women spend lots of effort filing away at the parts of themselves that reveal them to be outliers, to be strange, to be different. Did you intend to create such intense protagonists?
Amber: POINTE, CLAW comes from a place of deep pain and anger, which spawned the intensity in its pages. Ballet was everything to me from sixth grade through high school. I dreamed of dancing for Joffrey or New York City or American Ballet Theater. My entire identity was woven around being a dancer. When my career crashed (for complicated reasons), I was devastated and became quite self-destructive. My body, no longer dancing 4-6 hours a day, changed radically. My social circle evaporated. I didn't even feel like I belonged in my own family. The feeling of being betrayed by my body, my ballet family, my friends, and my own dreams fuels POINTE, CLAW. In the book, Jessie and Dawn are definitely extreme in different ways, but both have ravenous and unseemly desires. They want touch and sex and wildness and to break free from constraints. When everything they know starts to crumble around them, their response is to burn hotter, to go supernova instead of being crushed.
Elana: And do you think that intensity is reflective of the way young women are feeling right now, in this cultural moment?
Amber: Honestly, I hope so. Politically, those in power are doubling down on the constraints on women. The message to women and girls is chilling: Your body doesn't belong to you. Don't exist outside of the lines we have drawn for you. Be nice. Be grateful for what men do for you. I am absolutely rage-filled most of the time. I hope that younger women are too. I'll be the first one to hand them a flame-thrower. I'm curious what you think about this. Is a through-line from unlikeable characters to today's surging activism?
Elana: I do think so. I have spent much of my life being afraid of authority. Truthfully, I am still terrified of a man in a uniform, even though my white-presenting privilege has meant that all of my actual interactions with uniform-wearing men have been relatively safe, though often tinged with an unwelcome undercurrent of sexual tension. I began writing WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE OF three years ago, and I completed the final draft nearly a year ago, so it was well in advance of the rise of Trump and the rage that has grown in me along with that. This is an angry book, so clearly I was sorting through all sorts of anger, but I think my anger then was more woven through with shame and self-flagellation, an attempt to both punish and forgive myself for sins real and imagined. Now, my anger burns hotter; it's a white-hot anger, and I'm not going to spend more time being angry at myself for past complicity in a system of repression that eats women up. I think (I hope) that girls are done apologizing for being girls, for being in possession of unlikeable characteristics and emotions. I think so many girls are ready to fight, and I think books that show characters mobilizing and rising up are important and affirming. A book like yours, Amber, is a flame-thrower. But it doesn't read like an instruction manual or a manifesto; it reads like what it is, a brilliant and tightly-crafted novel. How do you walk the line between telling a good story and writing to inform, convince, or conflagrate?
Amber: For me, each novel starts with a big question or theme that I don't fully understand. I am writing toward a better understanding of the topic I'm exploring. That's very different from starting with "this is the truth I know, which I will now present to you." I hope that allows me to avoid being a pedantic bore. What about you? You mentioned writing your way through a complex stew of anger, shame, and self-flagellation. I am wondering how the process of writing a novel like WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE OF changes you.
Elana: Some books are a pleasure. Others feel like the painful extraction of a tumor with long, winding, grasping roots. WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE OF belongs to that second category. This book, like many, began with a feeling and, in this case, a first line–When I was fourteen, my mother told me there was no such thing as unconditional love. That idea of love–the conditions of being lovable, and the conditions under which we give our love (to others, to ourselves, to a concept or a cause, like God or religion)– fascinates me. Writing WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE OF gave me a place to sort through how I felt about love, and my own value. As a young woman, I really felt that if someone liked or desired me, it was my obligation to give that person some part of me–access to my body, or a smile and laugh even if the attention felt uncomfortable or unasked for, things like that. Writing this book felt like a chance for me to examine my assumptions about that and many things, and to declare that, no, actually, I don't want to behave that way anymore. And I don't have to. It's not my job to make other people comfortable. What a revelation! In POINTE, CLAW, your Jessie and Dawn seem to grapple with a similar question–how much access and control do they owe other people over their bodies? And how are they "supposed" to interact with/feel about their bodies? Can you talk about your characters' relationships with their flesh?
Amber: While I was revising POINTE, CLAW, I went to an incredible writing workshop with Lidia Yuknavitch (author of THE SMALL BACKS OF CHILDREN and A CHRONOLOGY OF WATER). She is focused on what she calls corporeal writing, meaning writing from the body, in the body, through the body. Again and again during the workshop, she posed questions that linked body and emotion. Where does shame live in your body? Where does anger live in your body? Where does vulnerability live in the body? One of the big ideas I wanted to write about in POINTE, CLAW was the contrast between inhabiting the flesh and dissociating from it. There is such stigma about the female body–periods, fat, body hair, smell, orgasm–I think women often struggle to be in the body. Jessie certainly does. She is constantly watching herself in the mirror and trying to fit the image of perfect. It's a weird out-of-body existence. When she loses that distance during the dance with Vadim, it freaks her out because it represents such unbridled sensation. Dawn is caught between fighting and embracing the chaos of her own flesh. Ultimately being in the body is a way to claim power. There's a quote from Mary Oliver that captures something important about both our books–Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? To finish up our conversation here, can you talk about how this quote relates to WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE OF?
Elana: What I want to do with this one wild and precious life (one of the things I try to do) is to tell stories that make me uncomfortable and scared, that shake my center, that help me understand how I feel about my own past, humanity, society, religion, death, bodies… all the stuff that I wrestle with. I am a selfish writer when it comes to my books about teens. When I write for younger readers, I do consider the kids who might pick up the book one day, but when I work on a book about teens, there is no reader in my sights. I work through the story the way one might rub at a cavity with her tongue, exploring the pain, experiencing the rough edges. The longer I work as a writer, and the older I get, the more honest I am in my writing, and the deeper I am willing to go into my own fear, inhibition, and anger. Of course, when the book is finished, then I become sharply aware of the possibility that it will be read. I hope that WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE OF can help put into words what young woman may be feeling about their bodies, their positions in society, their relationships, their loves. And if books like POINTE, CLAW and WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE OF give readers words that spur them to action, all the better! The world needs fierce women– Go, girls, rise up and roar.

Think gender is passed on through your genes? Think again
Researchers say no one is innately 'masculine' or 'feminine' - we are what our cultures make of us.
By Martha Henriques
Updated August 15, 2017 19:19 BST
Many of the differences in behaviour between men and women that are passed down the generations aren't passed on through genetics, researchers have said. As a result, we can't rule out that behavioural differences between men and women are almost entirely learned.
Textbook arguments on gender and biology often assume that masculine and feminine behavioural traits evolved by natural selection as adaptations to help men and women have more babies. For example, some might argue that men are innately much more interested in casual sex and violence than women, and that such traits are also a more or less inevitable fact of modern life because they are genetic.
Brain scans show how fathers are more attentive to daughters than sons
First-ever data on transgender-related surgeries reveals 20% rise in a year
Male fish are changing sex because of chemicals we flush down the drain
Scientists and philosophers are now questioning the tenet that sex-linked behaviours such as these are written in our genes. Researchers at the universities of Melbourne, Exeter and Tel Aviv argue that in humans and other animals, environmental and cultural transmission might account for most of the behavioural differences between men and women. The findings are published in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences.
What's the difference between sex and gender?
Gender is related to what we do and how we act in society. This is distinct from biological sex, which is determined by the particular type of genitalia we have.
"There's a strong tradition in evolutionary psychology where people take it as obvious that all these traits are genetic," study author John Dupré of the University of Exeter told IBTimes UK.
It's too simplistic to try to estimate how much of gender is nature, or genes, and how much is nurture, or culture, Dupré said, but nurture probably does play a much greater role than scientists give credit for.
"Certainly we should consider the possibility that culture is the dominant role. We're arguing that it's a very credible account of what happens in interngenerational transmission of these behaviours."
If true, this would have implications for gender equality efforts. A greater role for environmental factors in the nature-nurture debate could make interventions to promote equality seem more achievable.
"If it's a matter of identifying cultural factors and institutions that have an identifiable or highly plausible role in transmitting gendered asusmptions, then we have plausible ways of going about changing those. I think it really does matter," Dupré said.
"If we really thought that in the end it's all in the genes, then we would be very limited in our serious aspirations to aim for equality.
