In response to epic protests around the country, state legislators in nearly 20 states proposed bills in 2017 that would restrict people's right to protest. The ACLU fought back and many of the bills died or were amended to remove unconstitutional language. For those that passed, we're hopeful that protestors will exercise their right to dissent and courts will prevent the use of these laws to unconstitutionally burden protest activity. This map is current as of June 23, 2017.
HB 1756: Passed without anti-protest language. As initially drafted, this bill would have criminalized lingering on the sidewalk or on public transit in a way that "seriously annoys" others. The bill passed and became Act 847, but no longer includes that language, though it expands the definition of loitering.
SB 550: Vetoed. Would have criminalized mass picketing, but the governor vetoed it.
SB 35: Died. Would have punished environmental protesters with up to 18 months in prison and/or $100,000 in fines by reclassifying the misdemeanor of obstructing or tampering with oil and gas equipment into a felony.
SB 1096: Died. This "hit and kill" bill would have criminalized protests that obstruct traffic and exempted drivers from liability if they struck a protester under certain conditions.
SB 160: Passed without anti-protest language. As introduced, this "Back the Badge" bill would have increased penalties for protesters who blocked any highway, street, sidewalk, or other public passage. The anti-protester language was stripped from the bill as passed.
SB 1: Died. Would have prohibited certain activity "intended to advance . . . any ideology or belief" as domestic terrorism. The Senate voted the bill down.
SB 285: Died. Would have instructed police to use "any means necessary" to clear protesters off a roadway. The bill was amended to tone down the allowance of "any means necessary" to only a ticket and fine, but the watered-down version also failed to move through the legislature.
SF 426/SF 111: Died. Would have punished protesters who repeatedly block traffic with up to five years in prison.
HB 4643: Died. Would have increased penalties for picketing, allowed companies to challenge pickets without having to show any actual harm, and repealed a law that requires employers to include information about an ongoing strike when they advertise to hire employees who will replace those on strike. The bill passed the House, but was then shelved.
HF 55/HF 390/HF 896 and HF 1066: Died. These bills would have stiffened penalties for protesters who obstructed traffic or access to airports.
HF 322: Died. Would have made protesters liable for policing costs if they were convicted of unlawful assembly or public nuisance.
SB 2730: Died. Would have criminalized protests that obstruct the passage of emergency vehicles with up to 5 years in prison.
HB 179: Died. Would have criminalized wearing a mask at a protest in certain circumstances.
HB 826: Died. Would have expanded the definition of "unlawful assembly" and would have criminalized protests that intended to impede traffic by created a new crime, subject to a penalty of up to seven years in prison.
HB 330/SB 229: In Senate committee (passed House). Would enhance protections for former government officers against threats and assaults. This bill was introduced by a Republican lawmaker who pledged to introduce legislation to criminalize protesters heckling politicians in the state.
HB 249: In House committee. Would create a new crime of "economic terrorism," enhance penalties for protesters who obstruct traffic, and make protesters liable for policing costs.
HB 330: In Senate committee (passed House). This "hit and kill" bill would create immunity for anyone who hits a protestor blocking traffic, unless the protest had a permit.
SB 2302: Passed. This law allows the attorney general to respond to a large protest by appointing out-of-state law enforcement officers as "ad-hoc special agents." Bill text available here.
HB 1426: Passed. This law increased penalties for riot offenses. Bill text available here.
HB 1304: Passed. This law punishes wearing a mask while committing a crime (including minor offenses) to avoid recognition or identification in any public forum, or in a group on private property without written permission. Bill text available here.
HB 1203: Died. This "hit and kill" bill would have allowed drivers to run over any protester obstructing a highway, as long as a driver does so accidentally.
HB 1193: Died. Would have punished protesters at private facilities and created penalties for those directly or indirectly cause more than $1,000 in economic harm to the government or an individual with up to 5 years in prison.
HB 1123: Passed. This law punishes protesters who willfully trespass on "critical infrastructure," with enhanced penalties for those who do so in order to harm the infrastructure's operations. Under the law, the state can impose a $1 million fine on any organization "found to be a conspirator" in such trespass. Bill text available here.
HB 2128: Passed. This law appears to make anyone who is merely arrested for trespass liable for any damages to property caused while trespassing. Bill text available here.
SB 540: In Senate committee. Would require public community colleges and universities to expel any student convicted of participating in a violent riot.
SB 176: Passed. This law enables officials to prohibit protests of more than 20 people on public lands in certain circumstances and expands the crime of trespass; enables the Department of Transportation to prohibit protesters from stopping on the highway; and criminalizes protests that stop traffic on the highway. Bill text available here.
SB 902: Passed. This law imposes a fine of $200 on protesters who obstruct an emergency vehicle from accessing a street or highway. Bill text available here.
SB 944: Died. This "hit and kill" bill would have immunized drivers who accidentally hit a protestor on a roadway.
HB 1791: Died. Would have expanded the crime of incitement to riot and heightened penalties for encouraging others to riot against police officers, fire fighters, and emergency medical care providers. The governor vetoed this bill.
SB 5009: Reintroduced in special session. Would establish mandatory penalty enhancements for any offense, including ones related to protest, intended to cause "economic disruption"—defined to include influencing a government policy through intimidation and obstructing traffic or transport.

Sky HD And Sky Multiroom Reviewed
When it comes to HD content delivery, we're able to choose between an expanding array of options from Blu-Ray Rental via a service like LoveFilm, to HD downloads through Xbox Live, to broadcast HD television.
I've tried downloads, LoveFilm and even buying the odd Blu-Ray DVD in an effort to take advantage of my 1080p television but all of these solutions are either expensive, in the case of the latter, or simply inconvenient. I've never liked standing in a video store trying to find an obscure but interesting film and LoveFilm was a complete disaster, we got through a few films but ultimately our rented DVDs ended up sitting on a shelf for months and we were paying to keep them there.
Now I've grown accustomed to being able to find a film to watch in Sky Anytime, or their wide array of film channels, it's no surprise that the best solution I've found yet to get HD broadcasts into my HD Television is the successful Sky HD service.
Sky's Broadcast HD is convenient, allows for casual viewing and costs only £10 a month on top of an existing subscription (or £20 if you want to go multi-room), comparable to the cost of a LoveFilm subscription, but offering prime-time, Sky 1 television series in HD too.
I'm going to start with a look at the Sky HD box itself. These new boxes from Sky demonstrate a refreshed, modern aesthetic that looks far more pleasing to the eye than the original blocky white boxes of the standard definition Sky+ and right now they're either free, or damned close to new customers. Until HD becomes the standard for all Sky service, you really can't say fairer than that.
The remote has also received an aesthetic refresh, becoming just a little bit sleeker and donning a black and silver fascia to make it look a little more up-to-date.
The Sky HD box is also a sound, and very carefully thought out piece of kit. Furthermore, every Sky HD box will eventually receive the updated program guide which, whilst it's receiving a little negative press, is almost certainly an improvement over the now very dated looking guide we've all come to associate with Sky.
So, why do I say "carefully thought out?" Well, the biggest surprise I had when the Sky HD box was installed is that it somehow manages to simultaneously drive both its SD and HD outputs. This means that it's constantly and transparently downscaling the HD picture and piping it out through the analogue outputs. This is something that frustrates me about, for example, the PS3 which needs to be explicitly told to drive a particular type of output- making it a royal pain to switch between a video recording, or a gaming setup.
The Sky HD box, however, will let you hook up your existing SlingBox, if you have one, via the Scart sockets where you'll get the same SD picture you ever got remotely. This means that there's no pressure to buy a SlingBox HD when you upgrade to Sky HD. Furthermore, if you're interested in backing up some of your favourite TV series you can do it to something like the Pinnacle Video Transfer unit by hooking it up to a spare analogue output (yes, obviously the result will not be HD) and still navigate to the programmes you want to back-up on your television screen.
As with the ordinary Sky+ box, the Sky HD box includes a built-in hard drive and twin dish inputs to allow you to watch and record, or record two channels simultaneously. The hard disk size has been bumped up to a capacious but perhaps now a little dated 160GB which provides the same miraculous recording results as the Sky+ box. HD is recorded and played back in exactly the same quality as you see it in real-time, and up to 80+ hours of recording time is touted. Of course, the actual amount of content you manage to record depends heavily on whether or not it is high definition, and how compressed that particular channel happens to be.
If you want to record HD content only, you'll find that capacity dropping to about 30 hours, so if you're big on using Sky+ to record and permanently store your favorite television (rather than use it to time shift) then you would have to consider a hard drive upgrade. Sites like XTendedPlay.co.uk offer hard drive upgrade kits for Sky HD with capacities ranging up to 500gb which should, in theory, give you about 80 hours of HD recording. These kits come with detailed instructions and tools, but you still stand to void your box Warrantee unless you wait for it to expire first. You can also upgrade to 1TB if you're feeling brave, at this size it needs to be pre-formatted using a desktop PC.
The content available is more than varied enough to justify the price, with the typical array of movie channels all boasting HD equivalents, alongside such gems as back-to-back, HD, Disney films. Then there's the regular television, Sky 1 HD means that, if you're an avid watcher of dramas on this channel, you'll get to watch all of your favourite shows in glorious high definition, really taking advantage of your TV set.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Sky's HD broadcasts, they're not on a par with Blu-Ray, obviously, but you really need to scrutinise the picture in order to notice the difference. I've got a 720p, HD Home Cinema Projector in at the moment, and watching Sky HD broadcasts on it is truly stunning. I was, for example, able to record Blade Runner: The Final Cut in HD and use it to test out the projector. And that's where the problem lies, once you've started feeding a real high definition signal into your TV you'll find yourself wanting to spread that clarity over a larger surface area. Projectors and larger television sets become more tempting, with the former probably being the wiser choice. Simply pointing an HD projector at a reasonably-close-to-white living-room wall produces stunning results and will set you back around £550- much less than the 60″ or 100″ TV you'd need to match it.
Sky Sports, unsurprisingly, is where HD really comes into its own. It seems to have a generally much clearer picture than HD movies and doesn't have the artifacts that seem to appear in a few older HD movies (most probably due to their conversion from 35mm film). If you like your sports, then Sky HD alongside a sports package is a cracking good, no, essential setup. If you were persuaded into buying a television with a super fast response time then you shouldn't be without HD. After all, if you are set on catching every moment of sports action, you might as well do it with a crystal clear picture. I'm not a sports fan at all, but will happily stick on Matchplay Darts simply to marvel at being able to see every crack in the well-worn board and every bead of sweat on the players' foreheads. Yes, I'm a stickler for fidelity, be it audial or visual, and really don't care what I'm experiencing as long as it sounds or looks good.
The only thing objectionable about Sky HD is the price. Sky are pretty insistent that they'd love to offer the service at no extra cost over an ordinary subscription, but they're under the thumb of content providers who want to nickel and dime consumers for everything that they can. In that respect, we could probably consider ourselves lucky that our Sky subscription costs aren't a function of the number of people in our households- or worse, the number of people likely to accidentally watch a snippet of TV through the living-room window. With the current price of Blu-Ray, however, simply buying one a month would end up costing you more than an HD subscription cost, so if you really want to enjoy a few HD movies it's probably the most economical option. Unfortunately this only applies to existing Sky customers, and you only get the channels in HD that you've already added as a pack for your standard subcription. A fully kitted out Sky+ HD subscription, with every available channel would set you back about £55 a month- that's not a small number!
With the near-free, or sometimes free, price of the HD box it feels a lot more like you're subsidizing a fairly decent piece of hardware than paying through the nose for the HD content itself. It would be better, however, if the box offered more storage space as standard rather than increasingly lower prices. I have no definitive information but, at a guess, I would think the content providers have something to do with Sky HDs somewhat limited HD recording capacity. At just 30 hours, it is clearly targeted more toward being a comfortable time-shifting solution than a permanent storage for recorded HD films. If you're tech savvy enough to format and fit a 1tb hard drive you ay squeeze 50-60 films on there (a rough guestimate loosely based on facts).
Still, an extra £10 a month isn't bad, it's just a huge shame that existing customers can't take Sky HD and go multi-room with their existing Sky+ or Sky box for just £10. Multi-room is an exceedingly nice and convenient setup that runs rings around wireless TV streaming solutions, or the SlingBox/SlingPlayer combination at getting TV into your bedroom, but £20 for both HD and Multi-room will break the boundaries of affordable for most, myself included. Alas, this means that the HD has to go until it becomes the de-facto standard, and multi-room stays because it's simply too convenient to pass up.
There's little to say about Multiroom itself. The setup is vastly superior to TV beaming solutions that I've tried, and also far more responsive than a SlingBox/SlingCatcher combination. If you have an existing Sky+ box and go multiroom with HD, being able to record 4 channels simultaneously is pretty neat, or you can watch two and record two. We tend to record the same things upstairs and down, so we have the opportunity to watch our favourite shows in either HD or SD. Unfortunately there's no way to "beam" a recording from downstairs to upstairs, or vice versa unless you have the aforementioned SlingBox/SlingCatcher combination.
All photos feature the InFocus X9 projecting on an ordinary, off-white living room wall. The iPhone doesn't do it justice.

DC Shuttle: Lawmakers Revisit Bank-College Deals
Legislators ask for information on relationship between schools and lenders. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Ranking Member of the House Finance Committee Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Ranking Member of the House Education and Workforce Committee George Miller (D-CA) demanded that eight U.S. banks produce information about agreements they may have with colleges to encourage students to use their products. They cited a 2012 report by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group that said more than 9 million students risk being charged fees stemming from deals in which colleges allow financial firms to manage federal financial aid disbursement through checking accounts and prepaid debit cards. On Tuesday, the House Education and the Workforce Committee's Higher Education and Workforce Training Subcommittee will hold a hearing on "Keeping College Within Reach: Simplifying Federal Student Aid."
Debate over for-profit college provisions in defense bill. House GOP committee chairs, Rep. John Kline (R-MN) of the Education and the Workforce Committee, Rep. Howard McKeon (R-CA) of the Armed Services Committee, Rep. Jeff Miller (R-FL) of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, and Rep. Bill Flores (R-TX) of the Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity, are urging their fellow appropriators not to accept provisions added to the Senate's FY 2014 Defense appropriations bill that would limit the use of military members' education benefits. In a letter sent Monday to House Appropriations Committee leaders, the chairs argued, "While intended to punish bad actors from accessing higher education, both provisions harm low-income and veteran students and their colleges and fail to increase financial or institutional accountability." Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin (D-IL), who chairs the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, added the provisions to the spending bill (S. 1429) in July with the goal of protecting veterans and service members from being targeted by the for-profit college industry. The riders should be removed from the spending bill and Congress should consider such proposals during debate on reauthorizing the Higher Education Act, which expires Jan. 1, the chairs added in the letter. The House Education and the Workforce Committee and Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee have begun a series of hearings on reauthorizing the Higher Education Act. Leaders of both panels said a bill likely will begin to move through the legislative process early next year.

The Arab Spring and the vote
Mish Khan - 07 Nov, 2015
No Oscars for the Tatmadaw as Facebook video flops.
Myanmar's President Thein SeinтАЛ has posted a disturbing video to Facebook that appears to show how the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party has avoided Arab Spring style bloodshed in the nation's ongoing political transformation.
It's release just before Sunday's vote has raised a few highbrows.
The bizarre four-minute video, tightly edited with a heavy metal soundtrack, juxtaposes scenes of recent violence in the Middle East with shots of seeming tranquillity and development in Myanmar such as infrastructure, parliament and technological forums.
Framed against graphics of dripping blood, the video portrays death, displacement and even graphic images of three-year-old Syrian refugee Aylan Kurdi, whose death in September spurred countless headlines overnight and is ironically similar to the plight of many Rohingya refugees.
Followed by glorifying clips of the Myanmar army, the video ends with the message "Only when peace prevails will democratisation be implemented," implying that the USDP has been the guarantor of Myanmar's democratic progress so far.
Commenting on the meaning behind the video, the Director of the President's Office Zaw Htay stated, "Unlike countries that suffered blood streams, explosions, violent protests, Myanmar has remained stable. Compared to those countries, we all know that our country developed step by step."
The hypocrisy of the video was lost on few, garnering widespread criticism. Despite the sanitation of Myanmar's democratic development in the video, Sunday's elections remain the hard-won victory of many dissenting voices crushed under military rule.
Political freedom does not flow abundant in Myanmar- a pervasively corrupt legal system coupled with oppressive authorities have silenced many who fought to allow its citizens to be heard this Sunday. The abuses which have occurred, and are still occurring, are not forgotten.

Chester Stranczek served as mayor of Crestwood for 38 years, tightly controlling everything in the village government. But as far as we know, he didn't control the Cook County Forest Preserve District.
That's why a group of Crestwood homeowners is out of luck in trying to keep their expansive back yards, which extend 40 to 50 feet onto district land.
The forest preserve district routinely surveys its massive land holdings to protect its property, and such a check last spring found several residents of Sandra Lane, south of 135th Street, had back yards not as large as they thought.
They had installed various yard improvements — such as sheds, fences, aboveground swimming pools and fish ponds — on district land. The district wants them removed and is threatening residents with $500 daily fines.
The homeowners are understandably upset, accusing the district of reneging on an agreement it reached many years ago with Stranczek, who used to live on Sandra Lane. Some residents said Stranczek told them directly they could use the district land.
But there's a problem. Neither current village administrators nor forest preserve officials know of such an agreement. There's nothing in writing. The elderly Stranczek now resides in Florida and apparently suffers from dementia.
We sympathize with the homeowners' dilemma. They've spent much effort and money improving their yards and want things to stay as is.
But the forest preserve district is very protective of its property and rightly so. Its vast tracts of woods, prairies and lakes (about 68,000 acres) were acquired, starting in 1916, as nature preserves to be enjoyed by the public. They are an invaluable public resource.
The Crestwood residents have, however innocently, intruded on public land. How would they feel if the village or forest preserve district did so on their property?
It's unlikely both sides can agree on a resolution that protects their mutual interests. If not, the homeowners have no legal standing and must get off the public's property.

"What occurred in Grendel was that I got the concept of presenting the Beowulf monster as Sartre, and every little thing that Grendel says Sartre in one mood or yet another has mentioned, so that my adore of Sartre kind of comes by way of as my enjoy of the monster, though monsters are nevertheless monsters-I hope" (Harvey 86). Authors might create their performs around private ideas as well as the tips of other people. In the course of the 1960's, John Gardner became attracted to queries of evil, morality, and the which means of existence in the world which can be discovered in the reemergence of existentialist philosophy during this time (Nutter 48). Existentialists believe in person freedom as properly as the private responsibility that goes along with getting cost-free (OED). John Gardner ponders these universal inquiries about life and utilizes literature to assist recognize, create, and dispense his ideas. He takes a stance against the mainstream and common social movement of existentialism by satirizing the philosophy. Despite the fact that he ponders about life's meaning, Gardner opposes the "social rewards of adopting an existentialist posture," even though also believing that there is more to life than individual self-fulfillment (Nutter 50). In his novel Grendel, John Gardner comments on society utilizing existentialism inside the characters of Grendel, the Dragon, and the Shaper.
John Gardner starts by using Jean Paul Sartre's existential philosophy to create the character of Grendel. John Gardner is interested in Sartre's philosophy, which he thinks is "paranoid and loveless and faithless and egoistic and other nasty things" (Mason 102). His damaging perception of this philosophy colors the novel as Gardner portrays his thoughts by means of the monstrous narrator, modeled after Sartre, and attempts to expose philosophical difficulties relating to society's acceptance of existentialism. Grendel's "idiotic war" (Gardner five) starts as the "poor old freak" (6) encounters nature. Grendel feels "abandoned" by the planet, and those feelings correlate with Sartre's "being-in-itself" argument. "The globe resists me and I resist the world…the mountains are what I define them as" (Gardner 28).
According to Sartre, a "being-in-itself" lacks a consciousness while a "being-for-itself" has consciousness and the ability to generate a private "essence" making use of this consciousness (Mason 102). For instance, Grendel perceives the mountains only via his consciousness or his personal definition. The mountains represent a "being-in-itself" whereas Grendel represents a "being-for-itself." For that reason, Grendel's attempts to connect with nature fail since Sartre's philosophy does not let any sort of communication among the two beings. In addition, Gardner presents readers with an objection to existentialism.
Internally, Grendel convinces himself that alienation from society is required simply because he is a "pointless, ridiculous monster" and a "poor old freak" (Gardner 6). His feelings of insecurity contribute to thoughts of a meaningless world. Grendel holds total duty for these feelings due to the fact, according to Sartre, he creates his personal world by way of his consciousness. This is yet another factor of existentialism Gardner refutes, and in addition, he uses this instance to reference the common existentialist movement of society in the 1960's. Gardner responds to these who alienated themselves after Globe War II and Vietnam stating that if 1 clings to existentialism, then an external predicament, or "being-in-itself," ought to not incite feelings of despair only one's person actions are cause for suffering and agony.
In addition, Gardner tends to make statements about the nature of existentialists. Through Grendel's conversion from a humanistic character to a murderer, he shows that existentialism creates corruption and monstrosity in society (Mason 104). Also, Grendel "hammers the ground with [his] fists" (Gardner three) in frustration at the world and the society he constructs in his thoughts. His need for those about him to go beyond "staring at as much of the planet as he can see" (6) represents Gardner's plea for society to look beyond their building of an absurd life. He believes his job as a writer is to "affirm the goodness of life and the badness of pondering you have got the complete answer" (Bellamy 21).
The next character infused with existentialism is the Dragon. The Dragon portrays an evangelist of existentialism, and Gardner hopes to inform readers of the unfavorable elements of succumbing to this philosophy. Gardner depicts the dragon as a negative, disturbing "beast" with "cold" eyes and a guarded collection of "gold, gems, and jewels" (Gardner 57). This positions the character as a materialistic, selfish, and greedy "old man" (58). He enables the readers to pass judgment on the Dragon, providing them the picture of an evil "miser," (58) before revealing his vocal and intellectual traits. This initial judgment shows how society often gathers a narrow opinion with no true understanding of a scenario, or philosophy in this case. Gardner ascribes to the Dragon the voice of an "old old man" in order to address a stereotype about philosophers as becoming old fashioned and outdated. This also applies to the existential craze in America which becomes just as fascinating to Gardner as "boobies, hemorrhoids, [and] boils" (59).
The dragon influences Grendel to make a full existential conversion, showing how effortlessly thoughts are manipulated. Grendel begins the conversation with an attitude that he demands to leave humans alone, as effectively as abstain from scaring them "for sport" (Gardner 61). Even so, the Dragon refutes this attitude while claiming to "know everything," (Gardner 61) and the character of Grendel rapidly accepts the Dragon's vision of a meaningless universe (Ellis 48). As Grendel tends to make his "long dull fall of eternity" (Gardner 61) into existentialism, he loses admiration, beauty, and hope toward life, plunging further into the nothingness of existence. Grendel believes "stars, like jewels scattered in a dead king's grave, tease, torment my wits towards meaningful patterns that do not exist" (Gardner 11). Grendel pushes himself away from the natural, divine beauty that lies in the stars and focuses on material "jewels" as nicely as his primitive desires.
The conversation in between Grendel and the Dragon emphasizes effortless deception and manipulation by those with questionable wisdom. The dragon communicates his philosophy like "an old man" although converting Grendel into a creature who believes that absolutely nothing of significance exists outside of the individual. The meaninglessness of life prophesied by the Dragon recognizes Gardner's feelings about the limitations of existentialism and the people conforming to existentialism throughout the years prior to the 1971 publication of Grendel. Though these people have been faced with war, violence, and disillusionment, they cling to the well-liked movement with out believed or argument as to other possible explanations. In the same way, Grendel concedes to the Dragon with out resistance. The Dragon begins to handle each the metaphysical and physical functions of Grendel (Ellis 52). The Dragon's philosophy matches that of the society Gardner satirizes, with thoughts that "things come and go" as well as the opinion that each and every occasion is just "a swirl in the stream of time" (70). On the other hand, Gardner supplies a answer repairing the issues found in existentialist philosophy. He offers society a new hope inside the character of the Shaper.
In John Gardner's globe, the remedy for despair lies within the character of the Shaper. In the novel, the Shaper tells stories to the court, and these stories portray the warriors as victorious heroes. The Shaper's poetry permits the people of Hrothgar's kingdom to discover relief in the course of challenging instances of violence and destruction. The Shaper helps the kingdom prosper while advertising ideas of heroism and sacrifice (Winther 23). He sings of "a glorious meadhall whose light would shine to the ends of the ragged world" (Gardner 47). The Danes uncover a objective to reside from the severe and dignified poems about the beauty of men's glory (Mason 105). "The Shaper comes along in a meaningless, stupid kingdom and makes up a rationale. He creates the heroism… he tends to make the people brave, and certain, it's a lie, but it is also a vision" (105).
The Shaper promotes a way of life of courage and nobility, although the Dragon believes in meaninglessness and greed. Even though the Shaper's vision is not an accurate account of the everyday activities of the Danes, it seduces Grendel with its energy and meaningful words (McWilliams 31). However, Grendel's perception of the human's lifestyle is diverse from that of the Shaper. This difference relates to John Gardner's own fiction, which informs readers the importance of looking at a predicament from a new, previously unaddressed viewpoint. This re-affirms Gardner's argument that society in the 1960's pursues a philosophical trend with out questioning its ideas.
Throughout history, individuals have utilized art to make statements or respond to society. In Grendel, John Gardner takes the familiar story of Beowulf and permits many readers an chance to appear beyond one way of thinking into a new, previously unacknowledged point of view. Gardner is responding to the common trend of existentialism in the 1960's, lead by Jean Paul Sartre, and he pleads for society to open their minds and genuinely learn other perspectives concerning life.

nothing need be said. brilliance.


Wow! Is it Saturday already? This week has simply flown by - we've all gotten back into our fall routines with school, work and skating. It sure makes me miss our not-so lazy summer days!
I'm so glad you've stopped by today to check out my card for the Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge. If you'd like to play along with us, simply create your project and upload it by using the Mr. Linky widget on the Stamping 411 blog. Did you know that we pick 5 of our favorite cards each week and showcase them on Thursdays? Yep, and sometimes there is even blog candy!
Did you notice that I've used some NEW bling on this card? It's the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint from the Holiday Mini Catalog! I got my very own little jar on Wednesday and haven't stopped playing with it since! A very little bit goes a long way when it's applied with a sponge brush. And it dries super quickly which is perfect for paper.
For my card this week, I've cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock in half lengthwise so it measures 4 1/4" x 11". It's folded in half to make a card that measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
The stamp set used here is Winter Post, my very favorite from last year's Holiday Mini. You bet I was doing the Happy Dance when this one made the Idea Book and Catalog this year!
I've taken the snowflake stamp and painted it with the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint and stamped it randomly over the card base. The snowflake on the upper right though is taking the place of the embellishment in the sketch.
My next layer is a piece of Real Red cardstock cut at 2" x 5". I ran it through my Big Shot with the new Petals a Plenty Impressions Folder. Then I painted the surface with more of the Shimmer Paint.
For my focal point, I've used a piece of Christmas Cocoa Designer Series Paper which is super gorgeous in real life! This piece has snowflakes that echoed the stamped snowflake and I loved the pattern as well. It's cut at 3 1/4" x 3 3/4". The cardstock layers on top are Real Red (2 1/2" x 2 3/4"), Soft Suede (2 1/4" x 2 1/2") and Whisper White (2" x 2 1/4"). The Whisper White is the same size as the wood block the skater stamp is on. This is a great way to figure out the proper sizing for layers, start with the block size and go up 1/4" for each layer underneath.
I've stamped the skaters in Soft Suede and painted a little bit more of the Shimmer Paint underneath them to mimic a frozen lake.
This close up shows the shimmer so well. You can see that I edged the layers under the skaters with the paint also. For my greeting, I stamped the Merry Christmas from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set in Real Red on Whisper White. It's punched out with the Large Oval Punch and layered on a piece of Soft Suede punched out with the Scalloped Oval Punch. I've also added more Shimmer Paint to those edges before mounting it to the card with a Stampin' Dimensional.
The inside of my card is finished with a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock, cut at 4" x 5 1/4". The center greeting is from the Many Merry Messages stamp set and the other images are from Winter Post. All are stamped in Soft Suede.
This card was so, so easy to complete and I had it done, design and all within a half-hour! Be sure to check out all the other great design team operators projects today too! I know you'll be inspired!
Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you on Monday with something new and fun!
This is stunning Robin. I love all the dimension!
You did a Fabulous job on this. I love it!!! I don't have this set yet!! I want it even more now!!! thanks for being an enabler!
Love, love, love the card! Missed everyone today, but had a great stamp camp this afternoon.
Robin, this is just so pretty. I love the shimmer paint on the embossed areas.
Oh...I love your card, Robin! Beautiful. Have fun at Founders!
I love this card! The shimmer paint is wonderful and I love all the different ways you used it on one card. Thanks!
This card is stunning Miss Robin!! I LOVE all the bling you added to the card with this paint!! Is it not fun to play with new items?? Take care and see ya in less then 24 hours!!
Beautiful card, Robin! Love all the textures and the shimmer!


The Eloise joint venture will step up drilling next year at its Jericho copper-gold prospect, 60km south-east of Cloncurry.
Assays from the latest three drill holes at Jericho again extended its mineralised footprint, joint venture partner Minotaur Exploration said.
The Minotaur-Oz Minerals joint venture has agreed to an intensified drilling program at Jericho, commencing in April 2019 after cessation of the wet season.
The initial phase of drilling is expected to comprise around 23,000m with two rigs drilling continuously.
The focus will initially be in the central portion of Jericho, in the top 300m, where assays show good continuity of more than 2 per cent copper intersections at relatively shallow depth.

parmigiana | eat. drink. cook. travel.
I love zucchini and had some hanging around in the fridge asking to be used differently from the usual pan searing and anchovy pasta combination. Coupled with some old and on the verge of moldering potato and carrot, I flipped through my recipe books and found Antonio Carluccio's recipe for parmagiana. Since I had a bit of time, this was it!
You can use any sliceable vegetable for this, just make sure that they are well dried using paper towel before preparing them for the dish. For the cheese, I didn't have any mozzarella, taleggio or the eponymous parmesan, so I settled with the cheddar I had. It's a good melting cheese with very nice flavour, so it worked too. For the tomato sauce, I had a jar of pasta sauce from a while back that I again hadn't got round to using. Be warned that the quality of the tomato sauce is very important. Some of them can be quite tart, so you'll have to taste and moderate if necessary by perhaps adding a little sugar, or plain using a decent brand of sauce! I also had some aglio olio spice powder consisting of garlic, chilli and random herbs, so some of that went into the dish too. It all worked out to be a happy use of leftovers to make a yummy, satisfying dish.
Slice the vegetables into long slices, as far lengthwise as you can. You're looking for long, fairly thin slices of vegetables, about 5mm thickness for the root vegetables. For the zucchini, it can go a bit thicker depending on whether you like to bite into mushy zucchini goodness or prefer less of the mushy burst. Pack the slices into paper towels and leave to dry for about an hour or until you get back round to them.
Meanwhile, get out a big casserole dish that looks like it could fit all the vegetable slices and more. Spoon out a thin layer of pasta sauce and coat the bottom of the dish.
In a sturdy frying pan, saute the bacon dice in a little olive oil till brown. Sprinkle on top of the pasta sauce layer.
Add some salt and pepper to the flour and mix well. Standby the beaten eggs.
In the same frying pan, add plenty of olive oil till the bottom of the pan is coated. Get ready to fry over medium heat.
Dredge each vegetable slice in the seasoned flour, then coat with egg. Let drip till most of the egg has dripped off, then fry, turning each piece as it turns golden brown.
When golden brown on both sides, transfer each piece to the casserole dish.
When a layer of vegetables has completely covered the pasta sauce, spoon over more sauce for the next layer and also sandwich in a few slices of cheese.
Proceed till you've exhausted all the vegetables and cover with a final layer of pasta sauce, topping generously with cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes, turning down the temperature slightly if the cheese starts to burn.
After removing from the oven, let rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

An Overview of Ringworm
Most of the time, ringworm (tinea) can be successfully treated with an over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription cream, ointment, or other medication that's applied directly to the rash. In some cases a systemic drug—one that is taken by mouth—is necessary. There also are natural treatments that have shown promise in curing certain types of ringworm.
The treatment used for ringworm usually depends on the part of the body that's affected.
Ringworm that affects the feet (tinea pedis, or athlete's foot) may need to be managed differently than ringworm that affects the scalp (tinea capitis), for example.
Verywell / Maritsa Patrinos
According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), the only way to cure ringworm is with antifungal medication. While using such a drug, whether it's a topical product you apply directly to skin or a pill or liquid, there are things you can do to relieve any discomfort you're feeling until the medication takes effect.
It's also important to do all you can to prevent the fungus from spreading to another part of your body or to another person. Some key tips for managing ringworm:
To relieve itching, apply a cool compress to the uncomfortable area for 20 to 30 minutes at a time as needed.
Fungi love warmth and moisture, so keep areas affected by ringworm clean and dry. After washing, use a separate towel to dry the infected body part.
As much as possible, don't wear clothing or footwear that cause you to sweat.
Always shower after you work out to wash away perspiration. Dry off thoroughly.
Change all of your clothes every day.
Wash everything you wear or touch in hot water before wearing or using it again. This applies to clothing, towels, and compresses.
Don't cover ringworm with a bandage or other dressing.
Always wash your hands thoroughly after touching an area affected by ringworm.
Throw away any disposable items that might have been infected.
Disinfect items you want or need to keep. For example, if you realize you were harboring a fungal foot infection while wearing expensive leather dress shoes, you can use an ultraviolet (UV) shoe sanitizer or ozone cabinet, both of which can be purchased online.
To prevent the spread of scalp ringworm, never wear someone else's hat or cap. Make sure your child doesn't share sports headgear, such as batting helmets, with teammates.
Shampooing with a selenium sulfide shampoo such as Selsun Blue may make ringworm of the scalp less contagious.
If you suspect your pet has ringworm, see the vet right away. Ringworm can be passed between humans and animals. Cats are especially prone to the infection.
For most cases of ringworm affecting the skin, the first line of defense is a non-prescription antifungal medicine. These come as creams, ointments, powders, or sprays. You're probably familiar with many of them: They're readily available in drugstores, the pharmacy section of supermarkets, big-box stores, and online.
Some examples of antifungal medications for treating ringworm on the skin include:
Lotrimin cream, Cruex spray powder, Mycelex, Pedesil (clotrimazole)
Desenex topical powder, Fungoid cream, Micatin cream, Lotrimin AF athlete's foot spray or powder, Lotrimin AF Jock Itch spray powder (miconazole)
Lamisil (terbinafine)
Xolegel (ketoconazole)
Topical antifungal medications often work quickly.
You'll probably notice that the scaly rash disappears before the general redness of your skin goes away, but most of the time ringworm on the skin will clear in a couple of weeks.
However, as with antibiotics, it's important to continue to treat the area for as long as directed, even if you feel you're totally fungus-free. This will help prevent the infection from coming back.
Ringworm on the scalp must be treated with an oral medication (as you'll read below), but often it can help speed up healing to also use a shampoo that contains a fungus-fighting ingredient. If you're prescribed a prescription drug to treat ringworm of the scalp, your doctor may suggest you pick up an OTC shampoo that contains ketoconazole, such as Nizoral. This product usually can be used every three or four days just as you would a regular shampoo (wash, rinse, and repeat) for up to eight weeks.
There are a few situations and types of fungal infections for which it's necessary to use a prescription antifungal medication to treat ringworm.
Ringworm on the skin that doesn't respond to OTC treatment. If ringworm doesn't go away after using a topical medication for the full amount of time directed, see a dermatologist. A stronger prescription medication may do the trick. For infections that get worse or don't go away, there are prescription topical products such as Loprox cream (ciclopirox), Spectazole cream (econazole nitrate), and Oxistat cream or lotion (oxiconazole nitrate).
Tinea capitas (ringworm on the scalp) or tinea barbae (ringworm of the beard). Fungal infections on the scalp must be treated with a prescription antifungal. Examples include Grifulvin V or Gris-PEG (griseofulvin), Onmel or Sporanox (itraconazole), terbinafine, and Diflucan (fluconazole). Sometimes a doctor will prescribe prescription-strength ketoconazole shampoo to treat stubborn ringworm on the scalp. It is used just once.
Ringworm Doctor Discussion Guide
For the moment, the best way to treat most types of ringworm is with medication. But there has been some preliminary research to suggest that there may be alternatives that will work in some cases, for some people. Note that the options below haven't been tested enough to recommend, but if you're interested in an alternative to drugs for treating a ringworm infection, it can't hurt to run these ideas by your doctor to see if they might be an option for you.
Some preliminary research has found that Melaleuca alternifolia, an essential oil known as tea tree oil that's widely used in aromatherapy, may help cure ringworm affecting the feet. For instance, a 2002 study published in the Australasian Journal of Dermatology compared solutions containing either 25 percent tea tree oil or 50 percent tea tree oil with a placebo to treat athlete's foot. Subjects applied one of the three options to areas affected with a fungal infection twice a day for four weeks.
At the end of the study, nearly three-quarters of the people who used the 25 percent solution had a significant improvement in their infection and more than half who used the 50 percent solution improved, while only 39 percent of the placebo group saw an improvement.
Ajoene, which is a natural compound extracted from garlic, shows promise in the treatment of ringworm. For example, a 1999 study from the German journal Arzneimittel-Forschung found that a gel containing ajoene helped treat tinea cruris (jock itch) and tinea corporisn (ringworm on the skin).
Similarly, in a small study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology in 2000, ajoene was more effective than terbinafine (which is the active ingredient in Lamisil) in treating athlete's foot. For the study, researchers divided 70 subjects into three groups. One group used a topical medication containing 0.6 percent ajoene, the second group used 1 percent ajoene, and the third group used 1 percent terbinafine.

Of her profiles in this issue of four departing faculty, she says: "In trying to encapsulate these brilliant and varied careers, one thing stood out. Beyond their academic accomplishments and national prominence, these people are all valued most highly for their sterling human qualities: humility, integrity, wit, grit, and empathy."


About one in five caregivers go hungry because they don't have enough money.
That's the American way! If you get dementia and can no longer earn your keep, you not only take yourself down, you take your whole family with you!
This pisses me off. I know people who've lost hunks of their lives taking care of loved ones with these conditions. So to also make them go broke in addition to that sacrifice? What are we, animals?
My family went through this. My baby bro almost died while my father worked nights at 7-Eleven. The medical bills wiped the family out until I was raised! Not cool. Can't believe it's even an issue in this country.

7/19/18 - 11:58 a.m. - the boil water notice has been lifted for Riverside Drive and Tequesta Drive.
for a list of affected addresses in this boil water.
RE: Water main, Shut Down!!!
Location: Carriage House condominium and several homes on Tequesta Drive and Riverside Drive. Delivered door hangers to affected homes and condominiums.
Due to the water line repair and service interruption in your area, it is recommended as a precautionary measure, affected residents boil their water for drinking, cooking, and all other internal uses. Water should be brought to a boil for three (3) minutes for full effect. Icemakers should be turned off and all ice previously made should be discarded.
This procedure should be followed until you are notified that the boil order has been lifted. The Palm Beach County Health Department requires two (2) consecutive days of negative test results, you will not hear from us for at least two (2) days.
We will deliver door notices lifting the boil order. If you are still unsure of whether or not the order has been lifted, please call 768-0490.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience while we work to improve your water system. Thank you for your patience.
The Village of Tequesta has an Electronic Bill Pay systems for water utility bills. These systems provides residents and businesses with convenient and efficient means of paying their water bills automatically and electronically.
The online bill pay system allows residents to pay their current bill directly from the computer at any time convenient to them from the Village's website. The Automated Debit program allows monthly payments to be automatically deducted from a designated account. Both options completely eliminate the hassles of managing monthly water payments. We encourage residents and businesses to utilize the new program by going to www.tequesta.org and clicking the "Resident Services > Pay Your Water Bill" link. The minimal transaction fees ($2.75 per transaction) charged to residents for using the web bill pay system are charged by the third party transaction processing vendor. We are proud to say the system is budget neutral by placing the decision to pay third party costs in the hands of the residents who utilize the system.
The Village of Tequesta has a Utility Bill Payment Drop box located at the front of the Tequesta Village Hall at 345 Tequesta Drive for your convenience. If you have any questions, you may call 561-768-0420. Thank you!


As cells go, yeast is modest. You can see it under a microscope. It plays a role in many old and familiar processes, from making bread to brewing beer, turning sugar into ethanol.
The genome for baker's yeast was one of the first to be sequenced. With about 6,000 genes compared to about 20,000 in humans, yeast is more manageable to study, yet many of its genes are conserved in the human genome. That means it can serve as a model for many of the core processes that support a human cell. Simple as it seems, a yeast cell today yields a mind-boggling amount of data with enormous implications.
Too much information is not a problem for Chad Myers of the College of Science & Engineering, who brings the power of computer science to this frontier. Working in collaboration with Charles Boone and Brenda Andrews and their research teams at the University of Toronto, Myers helped to complete the first global genetic-interaction network for any organism—a yeast.
Most common diseases result not from a single gene's malfunction but from interactions among several genes, or between genes and the environment. The sheer number of genes has made identifying the patterns of interactions impossibly remote. Using yeast as a simpler model for genetic interactions, Myers' collaborators reverse-engineered several million different strains by inserting gene mutations in specific combinations and documented what happened. Then Myers and his research team used the volumes of data to map how pairs of genes interact.
As a specialist in systems biology, Myers is at the forefront of a generation of young scientists finding out where computational methods are relevant to biological questions. This year he was named a McKnight Land-Grant Professor because of his role in developing computational approaches to tackle challenges related to genetics and disease.
"Team" is a key word for Myers.
Biology was not Myers' first interest. As a high school student in North Dakota, he liked math and physics. In college, those strengths expanded into computer engineering.
Then in graduate school at Princeton, he was exposed to the quickly growing fields of genomics and systems biology. Until that point, says Myers, he thought biology was mainly about memorizing facts that had mostly been worked out. Suddenly, he realized how much uncharted territory was out there.
Myers delved in. Today, the challenges of biology are one of his primary motivators.
In a fifth-floor office of Keller Hall, teams of students and postdoctoral staff move in and out of Myers' office, clustering around computers, writing code and discussing results. They mine genomic data sets for insight into biological questions and build tools for translating that data into visual models—like the colorful diagram on the wall that shows genetic interactions in a yeast cell.
Some of Myers' projects focus on accurately measuring the way genes interact. Another group of his projects aims to identify basic organizational principles of the genetic-interaction networks, regardless of species. A third group explores whether genetic interactions mapped in model organisms like yeasts can be used to understand and treat human diseases.
In the case of a disease like cancer, for example, identifying gene pairs that back up each other allow highly targeted treatments to kill tumor cells while preserving normal cells. Myers foresees a day when treatments can be personalized for specific individuals based on their genome sequence.
To accomplish his work, Myers has important assets. The Minnesota Supercomputing Institute across Northrop Mall can run an analysis in a day that would take several weeks or even months to run on one of the computers in his lab. The University of Minnesota's Rochester campus, with Mayo Clinic and IBM partnerships and a graduate program in biomedical informatics and computational biology, has helped Myers form important collaborations.
The most important assets are students and postdocs, and Myers has proven to be a magnet for top talent as well as a skilled teacher and mentor. His lab includes seven graduate students and a postdoctoral researcher. Several undergraduates have worked on various projects, too, including Jacob Inda, whom Myers met while teaching an introductory class on computing and biology. Last week, Inda won a Barry Goldwater Scholarship to support work toward a research career in molecular biology.
The two-year McKnight award will allow Myers to expand his team with student and postdoctoral talent. It will also provide him with a critical period in the second year to focus on his research.
Keeping up with the rapid pace of discovery in the field is no small feat. As an example, Myers points out that it took several teams to finish sequencing the human genome only a decade ago, with public support close to $3 billion. Yeast, E. coli, worm, and fly genomes were among the earliest to be mapped. Today, we have sequences for about a thousand different organisms, and the cost of sequencing has dropped to as little as several thousand dollars for small genomes.
Myers also recently won a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, which includes working with high school science and math teachers in the summer. His goal is to send them back into their classrooms with new energy and tools that will attract strong math students to the exciting work and critical challenges in biology.

Azumorph or James Aaronson is an Australian super hero created by Aaron Lee aka AzuJOD. He is a shapeshifter with characteristics similar to DC Universe's Clayface who gained his powers by a dying alien blob who fused to James as a dying effort. Azumorph First appeared in Heroes Unite #3 EGO and is currently part of the Heroes Alliance. He is often depicted as a quiet and methodical hero much in contrast to the Alliance's other shapeshifter The Impractical Mr. Imp.
James Aaronson first gained his powers when he was young during a warm Australian summer. His four page origin story featured in Heroes Alliance tells of how he left his house to investigate a strange blue light outside only to discover a small canister holding a dying alien blob. The alien then latched onto James' skin changing his skin blue and giving him the power to stretch and change shape. He started his early hero career under the name Chango Presto where he worked as a reckless more comical hero. When a shooting at his own school resulted in the deaths of several students James made a decision that it was time to take things more seriously.
Retiring his old Chango Presto costume, James began intensive training by studying the heroes who came before him. Eventually his extensive internet searches caught the attention of a wheelchair bound, double amputee millionaire Lucy Hubbard AKA HUB. Lucy was a technopath who had been contacted by the HU Commander to locate heroes for the Heroes Unite Initiative. James signed up and took on a new costume and the name of Azumorph.
Azumorph is a shapeshifter who, unlike the Impractical Mr Imp. tends to use his clay-like consistency to mould or stretch certain parts of his body as opposed to simply turning into anything. He cannot change color or change into anything too complex, such as anything with wheels.
Azumorph also has super strength and durability, which are relative to his shape and size. For example he can become giant sized which would allow him to pick cars as if they were toys. Finally, Azumorph also posesses a healing factor. He has the ability to regrow limbs if they are detached, or reattach limbs if he can find them.
Oz Stars - Australia's premier super hero team. Along with HUB, members include Brightlight, KMH, Marker, Syd, Valeria and Deep Man.

Beornrad (also spelled Beornred; died 797) was Archbishop of Sens from 785/6 until his death. He was Alcuin's cousin and was also related to Willibrord by blood.

Beornrad had moved from Northumbria to the European mainland at an unknown date, and was appointed as the third abbot of Echternach in 775, succeeding Albert to the post. According to a letter-poem written by Alcuin, Beornrad had become part of the court of Charlemagne by the 770s. Though Beornrad was later appointed Archbishop of Sens, he retained the abbacy of Echternach until his death.

He was succeeded in his bishopric by Ragembert and in his abbacy by Ado. Beornrad was buried in the Abbey of Saint-Pierre-le-Vif in Sens.

"There can only be 1 captain on the field" – Michael Clarke warns Steve Smith
Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has adviced Steve Smith over his tendency to get too helpful with his guidance. As per Clarke, if not selected as Test captain, Smith needs to be careful with the kind of leadership role he will play as a senior in the team now. However, his comments came as Tim Paine has resigned from the post.
Pat Cummins and Smith are two of the frontrunners in the race to take over the position as well. While speaking on The Big Sports Breakfast, Clarke added that Cummins will definitely turn to Smith for advice in between.
Clarke said: "He's got to be careful Smithy, because he copped some criticism for doing that when Tim Paine took over the captaincy as well. That he was standing in slip waving his hands, moving the field. If he is vice-captain or even if he is not, he has got to be very careful. There can only be one captain on the field. That is what leadership is about as well, owning that. If it is Pat Cummins, he can take advice and guidance but then it's up to him to be making the decisions."
Michael Clarke also recalled an incident during the Test series against India earlier this year, when Smith was accused and his moves get analyzed closely following his involvement in the ball-tampering scandal as well.
Clarke elaborated: "I don't think Steve Smith understands how extreme it is going to be. He got a tiny glimpse of it last summer against India when he scruffed the pitch and was called the biggest cheat on the planet. I don't think he understands how heavy it is going to be on him."
"Since he's come back, he's helped this team win so many games of cricket. He has played a leadership role in the team and is doing a brilliant job. I think he can help the team more by supporting if it is Pat Cummins, scoring a truckload of runs and helping Australia win games," Michael Clarke concluded.
