Lieutenant Commander Sydney Hicks joined the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve in 1928 specialising in signals. He undertook his mandatory sea training in the minesweeper HMS WAKAKURA and the cruiser HMS DUNEDIN where he remained until 1939. Courses at the Royal Australian Naval Station HMAS FLINDERS were followed by a short posting to the cruiser HMS LEANDER. Hicks then spent a considerable proportion of World War II in the cruiser HMS MONOWAI and describes action with a Japanese submarine in the waters off Fiji. He returned to New Zealand in 1942 to help, and as port signal officer set up radar stations around the New Zealand coast, before taking command of the Isles class minesweeping-trawler HMNZS SCARBA which was involved in the sweeping of the various minefields laid around the Hauraki Gulf and Bay of Islands. In 1945 Hicks was sent to Britain to take command of the corvette HMS HYDRANGEA and the River class frigate EXE in the final days of the war.
After the cessation in hostilities Hicks returned to New Zealand and a variety of postings including Commanding Officer of the Canterbury Division of the New Zealand Volunteer Reserve from 1946-52, on the planning staff at Navy Office, Wellington and as the Royal New Zealand Navy Liaison Officer in Australia from 1956-60.
Sydney Hicks retired from the RNZN at the end of 1968 having attained the rank of Lieutenant Commander.

I was born with an intuitive spirit and the gift of mediumship. Also, I am a Energy Healer, Medical Intuitive and Psychic Investigator. I have worked with and trained under psychics from around the world. Certified as a psychic, medium, medical intuitive and Reiki II healer. I love Astrology and the Tarot and include this service with some of my readings when requested. Development is a lifelong process that I take seriously. I continue to learn and sharpen my skills with an open mind & heart. I can work with you by phone, Skype, or in person.
Psychic child - From the time I was 3 years old, I was seeing and hearing spirits. Sadly, these spirits were not friendly and I was terrified of the dark and night throughout most of my childhood.
Late one night when I was five years old, I was afraid of the shadow man standing in my bedroom doorway. I frequently saw him walking down the hall at night and then he would disappear. On that night, he was standing at my doorway staring at me. I was sweating profusely with the covers over my head with one eye peaking. I tried to scream but nothing would come out. Then out of nowhere, I heard this gentle kind and loving man's voice "Gina, I am right here with you protecting you. The ghosts can't get you nor are they allowed to enter your room. I want you to pretend that there is a light just above your head: like a bright light bulb, and whenever you get scared, know that while under this light, nothing can ever harm you".
The whole time we lived in that house, the ghosts would never enter my room. I didn't hear that male voice again until I was 17.
Alone in the world - At the early age of 12, I was left alone to raise myself. This was when I became aware of my gifts of intuition. I was able to sense danger. I knew who I could trust and most importantly not to trust. Even as a dyslexic teen alone in the world,I was able to use my gifts to help get me through school. My intuition and a stronger force that protected me and kept me safe was my true parent.
One day while driving home with my roommate Darla (pictured to the left), in my convertible Spitfire with the top down, I hit black ice while driving down a narrow country road. Neither Darla nor I had our seat belts on. Just before slamming into the side of a bridge, time stood still, I heard that male voice again speak so calmly and slowly "Gina, you need to let go of the steering wheel, hold onto the bottom of the seat, lean all the way over to your right and you will be okay". The next thing I knew, I had flipped off the bridge and landed upside down in a dry creek bed. The car was totaled. Darla was found 20 yards away with just a few scratches. I was fine except for some bruising and hair loss. Had I not done what he asked me to do, I would have been decapitated.
Mediumship is a calling - It has taken a good portion of my lifetime to come to terms with what I know now as my true gifts. At the age of 22 I started giving readings to friends and coworkers just for fun. I stopped at 24 because I didn't feel it was right to tell people their futures and I didn't like seeing the bad things that could happen. This was when I started my spiritual journey and spent the next 30 years learning to use my god-given gifts to help enlighten, clarify, heal, and bring understanding where it is most needed and wanted.
When one of my best friends Jolene passed away 7 years ago, she came to me with such clarity and with the most beautiful heart felt messages, not only for me but for her children. Because of these messages, I couldn't help but want to reopen a door that I closed a long time ago. Once that door was open, I was talking to spirits daily. My spirit guide 'Jon', the male with the kind gentle voice became a huge part of my daily life. My friend Darla, also came to me when she passed. We lost touch with each other at 19. 3 years ago Darla came to visit me and shared that she passed and told me how to get in touch with her family. Upon reaching out to them, I was shocked to find out that we lived near-identical lives, had 3 children under the same circumstances, had similar careers and both searched endlessly for one another .
My path, my passion and my PURPOSE - When I met my husband in 2008, my life changed. I owe who I am today to him. He allowed me to grow spiritually; by encouraging, inspiring, and loving and guiding me in ways I have never experienced. I didn't know what partnership, companionship, and true soulful love was until I met him. He kept me on my true path when I would stray from time to time. He watched me grow into a compassionate psychic medium.
My husband passed away in 2014. He is still with me in spirit....that I am so grateful for. However, he is missed tremendously. Thank you Layne Self!


I am passionate about photography, the digital darkroom and photo media. I also really enjoy producing computer generated imagery for both print and motion.
During my studies I have focused more and more on motion graphics and in particular on animation techniques. I think the biggest attraction to animation as an artist or creative is in that it gives you the power to produce the impossible, it's a little like magic and you're the magician bringing your imagination to life.
As a designer I am enthusiastic about problem solving and I find great satisfaction in the realisation of exciting new solutions using many different mediums. After graduation I hope to continue down a path in motion graphics and I am really excited by the possibilities.

Q: How to put ticks on 2 lines in matplotlib How can I deal with multiple-line x ticks in matplotlib ?
Let me be more specific. I want to have a 2-line set of ticks. I managed to do something with \n already but I am not satisfied with the results because of text centering.
You can see on the example below that LUT and FF are not well centered.
Here is the image:

Here is part of the code:
plt.xlabel('Application')
plt.xticks(index + 5*bar_width, ('LUT~~~~~FF\nADPCM', 'LUT~~~~~FF\nAES', 'LUT~~~~~FF\nBF', 'LUT~~~~~FF\nGSM', 'LUT~~~~~FF\nDECODER', 'LUT~~~~~FF\nIDCT', 'LUT~~~~~FF\nMPEG2', 'LUT~~~~~FF\nSHA'))
plt.legend(loc=0,prop={'size':9},ncol=2)

#plot limits
# Hide the right and top spines
ax.spines['right'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['top'].set_visible(False)
# Only show ticks on the left and bottom spines
ax.yaxis.set_ticks_position('left')
ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position('bottom')
#Manually set ticks
ax.yaxis.set_ticks([100,500,1000,5000,10000,50000,100000])
minorLocator = MultipleLocator(1)
ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(minorLocator)
#enabling grid
ax.yaxis.grid(True,linestyle='-.')
# x grid
ax.xaxis.grid(True,which='minor',linewidth=0.7,linestyle='-')
ax.xaxis.set_tick_params(which='major',width=0.5,length=18,direction='out')
ax.xaxis.set_tick_params(which='minor',width=0.7,length=30,direction='out')
ax.set_axisbelow(True)

plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig('area.pdf')

I am not very proud of line 2 If you know what I mean.
I would like to have the same behavior as the image but with "subticks" centered with respect to their sublocation.
Thanks in advance.

Government introduces post-separation medical benefits for police
Western Australia Police officers will have access to medical benefits for ongoing work-related conditions after leaving the police service, under new State Government legislation.
Police and Emergency Services Minister John Kobelke said the legislation would remove the anomaly of police officers leaving the Western Australia Police with work-related injuries and illnesses without any recognition to meet the costs of their ongoing medical treatment.
Currently police are not entitled to recover these, nor other related expenses.
"Police officers in WA are not covered by workers' compensation and we will now seek to provide specified post-separation medical benefits to police officers who have already left, or may in the future leave WA Police due to work-related injury or illness," Mr Kobelke said.
"This was an issue vigorously pursued by the Western Australia Police Union during the last round of enterprise bargaining negotiations and I'm pleased that we have been able to come to a resolution."
Mr Kobelke said the Government recognised the lack of consistency with the approach adopted by police in other Australian jurisdictions and established a steering committee, including the WA Police Union of Workers and Insurance Commission of WA, to recommend the best means to deliver post-separation benefits.
"Part of the continual improvement of our police service is to provide officers with the support which every worker in WA has a right to expect," he said.
"The provision of post-separation medical benefits for work-related treatments follows the current Government's achievement of extending occupational health and safety coverage to WA Police in 2003.
"Our police continue to do an excellent job and as a government we will continue to support our hard-working officers."
The scheme required legislation which the Government intends to have introduced and passed by Parliament in 2008.

A snapshot of weather conditions at the BMO Training Ground the past two weeks: Cold, windy, sometimes rainy, miserable.
There have been days at the Downsview facility when the players have sent team staff scurrying back into the main building to retrieve tuques, gloves, thicker jackets, balaclavas, sled dogs, anything to stay warm. There were times out in the wide open field this week when Spanish midfielder Alejandro Pozuelo probably thought he had been loaned to Tuktoyaktuk FC.
Yet despite those conditions, TFC captain Michael Bradley raved on Friday about how training has been the best he has ever experienced since joining the club in 2014. And that, he said, is part of the reason why the Reds have jumped to a 3-0 start in MLS play.
The U.S. international said the make up of this current squad — including newcomer Pozuelo — has made for "excellent" days on the pitch.
"The guys who are new here are trying to prove themselves, trying to show that they're guys who can be counted on, to show that they're guys who should be on the field," Bradley said. "And you have some guys who have been here for a little while, who have experienced some incredible success but also some big disappointment in other moments, and I think we're all very protective of what we have here, of what we've built.
"There's been a lot of energy, there's been a lot of competition. I think everybody across the board every day comes out to put in the work," coach Greg Vanney added. "Whether it's the first team, so-called, playing against the guys who aren't going to play, there is still a great competition going on where both sides are trying to win. The so-called reserves are putting up a great fight and even have won on some days.
TFC will have to be ready for a dangerous Chicago Fire side, which comes into BMO Field on Saturday for a 3 p.m. match against the Reds.
TFC will probably be without defender Auro who is dealing with soreness in his semitendinosus muscle, located in the high hamstring area. Jozy Altidore left training early on Friday, though Vanney said it was because the veteran scorer wasn't able to loosen up properly in the cold weather and that the forward should be OK to play in Saturday's match.
The Reds are hoping to start the season a perfect 4-0 while Chicago (1-2-1) is coming off a 1-0 win over the New York Bulls.
Two Chicago standouts in that match, midfielders Bastian Schweinsteiger and Dax McCarty, were named to MLS Team of the Week, as was Pozuelo for his two-goal, one-assist performance in a 4-0 victory over New York City FC last Friday.
Vanney is certainly not taking the Fire lightly. It has improved its lot with the signing of Argentine international Nicolas Gaitan, who made his first Fire appearance as a second-half substitution against New York.
"He's a clever player, he's a guy who can play three out of the four attacking positions. He's going to look to get on the ball and can open the game in different ways," Vanney said. "He's a passing player, he can run with the ball. So we just need to be aware of defending collectively like we did this past weekend.
"They tend to have a lot of guys moving into different areas of the field and we can't get caught chasing them around. We've got to be disciplined and organized and good with our spacing and try to duplicate as much as we can our performance from last game. And continue to build off that.
"They're coming off of a pretty solid victory where they had a lot more chances than they did score goals," Vanney added. "They've got some speed in (Nemanja) Nikolic up top who is constantly threatening the space behind.
TFC fans will no doubt be looking to see what Pozuelo can bring to the table after his sensational TFC debut last Friday.


See the first post in this series for an explanation and guide of our tour of Summa Contra Gentiles. All posts are under the category SAMT.
Two important milestones: a definition of science and evil.
Notes The definition of science comes from The Philosopher, in his Posterior Analytics. Notice that this is not the modern definition, which pertains mainly to predictive ability. Knowledge of cause sometimes comes along for the ride in the predictive equations scientists develop, but this happenstance is not quite by design. Unfortunately, many scientists think their semi-determinative equations prove cause. But regular readers know this isn't so; new readers can click Classic Posts and look for asinine uses of statistics.
 FROM what has been said it can be proved that God cannot will evil.
 For the virtue of a thing is that by which one produces a good work. Now every work of God is a work of virtue, since His virtue is His essence, as we have shown above. Therefore He cannot will evil.
 Again. The will never tends towards evil unless there be an error in the reason, at least as regards the particular object of choice. For since the object of the will is an apprehended good, the will cannot tend towards an evil unless, in some way, it is proposed to it as a good; and this cannot be without an error. Now there can be no error in the divine knowledge, as we have shown. Therefore God's will cannot tend to evil.
Notes And that's sin, sisters and brothers. Choosing what the will thought was a good in error. That makes sin objective, not relative. This is why unreflective appeals to one's conscience as insufficient to knowing the good or evil of a thing. Conscience is not doing what feels good or right in the moment; rather, it is much more than that. Here's an analogy. Think of solving high school math "story" problems. You can certainly answer using your gut, but it's far better to learn the rules, and they whys of the rules, of right and wrong.
 Moreover. God is the sovereign good, as was proved above. Now the sovereign good does not suffer the company of evil, as neither does the supremely hot suffer an admixture of cold. Therefore the divine will cannot be inclined to evil.
Notes Homework problem: What other metaphors, besides admixtures of cold and hot, might work here?
 Further. Since good has the aspect of end, evil cannot be an object of the will except the latter turn away from its end. But the divine will cannot turn away from its end, because He cannot will anything except by willing Himself, as we have proved. Therefore He cannot will evil.
 It is therefore evident that in Him free-will is naturally established in good.
 …Hereby is confuted the error of the Jews who assert in the Talmud that God sins sometimes and is cleansed from sin; and also of the Luciferiani who say that God sinned in casting out Lucifer.
Notes The first one's for you, Ianto. I hadn't known anything about the Luciferiani, but this Wiki article might be of help.
Evil exists, of course, and can be chosen by us, but only because of error, only because something we thought was good was, in fact, objectively the absence of good.
St Thomas had the same thought! Excellent question (though it has been answered in part before), which will be tackled next week.
Yes, I recall Aquinas on the subject. You touched on it here – differentiating suffering from sin, and coming to the subject of forgiveness along the way. It's an important citation for Christians, as the book draws a direct prophetic line to Jesus and universal religion. The difficulty here remains, though, that God's behavior throughout all this period is really unpleasant, to say the very least.

Research Council for Culture and Society funded Academy Projects that renew science
Academy of Finland's Research Council for Culture and Society has granted funding for 73 Academy Projects with a total of 81 subprojects. Based on these decisions, the Research Council funds Academy Projects with 35 million euros. The Academy Project is the most important funding instrument of the Research Council for promoting the impact and renewal of research.
In addition to high scientific quality of the research plan, the Research Council paid special attention to projects that combine high quality with strong academic and societal impact and/or science renewal. According to the Research Council, it is important that Academy Projects include researchers who are at different stages of the research career. However, the focus is on promoting postdoctoral careers.
In the September 2018 call, 25 million euros in additional funds earmarked for the Academy of Finland in the state budget were used to support the younger generation of researchers. The Academy decided to distribute these funds in Academy Projects. The Research Council for Culture and Society used the special budget authority reserved for early-career researchers in 14 of the funded projects.
"Due to funding reserved for early-career researchers' Academy Projects, we could grant funding for 18 per cent of the Academy Project applicants. Early-career applicants succeeded in the call for Academy Project funding. Most of the early-career researchers who received funding now would have been funded even without the additional funds. Gender equality has improved compared to many previous calls", says Sami Pihlström, the chair of the Research Council for Culture and Society.
"This round, the applications were reviewed in panels that had a wider scope and more multidisciplinary panelists than before. The Council will consider the development of the decision process based on the feedback it has received", Pihlström says. According to the feedback given by the reviewers, the experts in the Research Council's panels felt that the research plans they reviewed were within the scope of their expertise and that the panels as a whole were appropriate.
Examples of funded Academy Projects with high social impact
Anu Korhonen from the university of Helsinki leads the Nordic Nightmares 1400‒2020 project which crosses disciplinary boundaries. It is a new initiative to understand the past and the present of Finnish people. The project goes against mainstream by highlighting the cultural and social dimensions of dreaming. The main objective is to find out what Finnish nightmares have been about in different eras and if they have changed or if they recur. The results of the project offer a deeper perspective to nightmares that before. The research is based in Finland, but it highlights the heterogeneity of the population.
Johannes Riquet from the University of Tampere examines the poetics and politics of Arctic geography in contemporary fiction and art in the light of previous Arctic folklore and discussion. After the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol, the Arctic regions have been the subject of emphatic public discussion. The project studies the ways contemporary culture reinvents established representations of the Arctic landscape and geography.
Timo Kaartinen from the University of Helsinkistudies modern religious movements which claim that they produce ethics by practising disciplined virtues, codes, and habits that clearly differ from the ethical problems and choices of everyday life. The project's global and comparative perspective tries to separate altrernative sources of an ethical impulse from religion, notions of society, and taking other people into account in the everyday.

Some 44 percent of public willing to get vaccinated: Survey
The number of people willing to get vaccinated against the coronavirus has increased slightly, a survey by Ipsos has found.
Some 44 percent of those polled between Dec. 25 and Dec. 29, 2020 said they were considering getting the shot, up from the 38 percent in the previous survey, conducted between Dec. 18 and Dec. 22, 2020.
In late October last year, as much as 51 percent of the public said they would get vaccinated.
Meanwhile, the number of people who said they would not get the shot declined to 24 percent in the latest survey from 29 percent in the Dec.18-Dec 22 poll. In the October survey, some 18 percent of those polled said they would not get vaccinated.
Some 32 percent of the surveyed said they were undecided, slightly down from the previous survey's 33 percent.
The Ipsos study also found that nearly 41 percent of the public planned to get the shot within three months when the vaccine is ready.
Turkey plans a massive vaccination drive starting with health care workers and the most vulnerable.
The first batch of 3 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine bought from China arrived in the county on Dec. 30, 2020.
The injections will be tested for 14 tests at local laboratories before the authorities roll out the vaccination program.
Turkey also sealed a deal for the procurement of the BioNTech/Pfizer injection.
Some 4.5 million doses of the vaccine will be sent to Turkey by the end of March, Health Minister Fahrettin Koca announced late December.

A: To be able to reuse a request whose body is non-nil, you first need to make sure that the body has been closed, not by you, but by the client's RoundTripper.
the relevant part of the docs:

RoundTrip must always close the body, including on errors, but
  depending on the implementation may do so in a separate goroutine even
  after RoundTrip returns. This means that callers wanting to reuse the
  body for subsequent requests must arrange to wait for the Close call
  before doing so.

When reusing requests that don't have a body, like GET, you still need to be careful:

If the request does not have a body, it can be reused as long as the
  caller does not mutate the Request until RoundTrip fails or the
  Response.Body is closed.

Taken from here.
So as long as you're sure that the RoundTripper closed the body, what you can do is to reset the body of the request at the top of each iteration. Something like this:
func httpRetry(req *http.Request, timeOut time.Duration, retryAttempts int, retryDelay time.Duration) (*http.Response, error) {

    // ...

    data, err := ioutil.ReadAll(req.Body)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    // close the original body, we don't need it anymore
    if err := req.Body.Close(); err != nil {
        return err
    }

    for {

        req.Body = ioutil.NopCloser(bytes.NewReader(data)) // reset the body

        // ... your code ...

    }

    // ...
}

« eDiscovery Overkill in Family Law Cases | Main | Morgan Lewis Releases Unredacted Hot Info on Goldman Sachs »
Da Silva Moore and the Role of ACEDS
You may recall my glum assertion that no one wants to be on the record with respect to the Da Silva Moore case, which has certainly generated more "reality show" characteristics than any case I've previously seen.
So it was no surprise when some documents appeared in my Inbox from someone else who doesn't want to be identified (with good reason), adding to the ever-growing crowd of people who have some knowledge about relevant facts, but due to the toxicity of the case have no desire to have their name affiliated with it.
I have placed a link to the documents I received here.
The documents are these:
A request made by ACEDS: "Request for Examination of Report Filed by a Judicial Officer or Judicial Employee." The request is for the reports filed by Judge Andrew Peck and is signed by Robert Hilson who lists his occupation as "legal reporter." His LinkedIn page shows his occupation as Editorial Director for Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists at The Intriago Group. This company does not appear to have a website – the URL for the domain name (intriagogroup.com) forwards to Microline PV, which has a holding page as a company funded by U.S. Equity Holdings. On LinkedIn, they have six employees identified, including Mr. Hilson.The Request for Examination appears to have been signed on February 27, 2012 and faxed to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts on February 29, 2012.
A letter from ACEDS, also signed by Robert Hilson, that is dated February 28th, 2012 and was faxed on February 29, 2012, to the Office of the Committee on Financial Disclosure of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts which apparently accompanied the request form and specified that he was requesting "…financial disclosures for 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. If possible, please be sure to include all disclosures and/or compensation for "honoraria" and "teaching fees.""
A check for $8.20 written to the Administrative Office of the United States Courts dated March 9, 2012 – presumably the request fee. The check came from Verisqil. According to the ACEDS website, "The crucial service that associations formed by Verisqil provide is a rigorous certification process, including a proctored psychometrically-sound examination that validates the specialized knowledge and skills of the specialists who work in the pertinent fields." Charles Intriago is the co-founder of ACEDS and is listed on the ACEDS Verisqil page.
The Memorandum of Law in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion for Recusal or Disqualification.
An article which appeared on ACEDS dated April 19, 2012 and captured on April 29, 2012 entitled "Plaintiffs move to recuse Peck in predictive coding case, now suggesting his financial link to Recommind."
A detailed timeline entitled "Involvement of ACEDS in Peck Recusal Motion" which was prepared by the person who sent me the documents.
As I have noted previously, a comprehensive assembly of all documents in the case has been prepared by our friend Rob Robinson and is available here. News stories about the case may be found here. Vendors offering technology assisted review may be found here.
As readers will know, I am slow to judge. I determined that I should share these documents because the person who sent them raises questions – and I have some of my own.
First, let me observe that I have been critical of some of Recommind's actions in the past. I have also expressed some concern about what Judge Peck has said about this case (statements may be found in the Memorandum of Law). Anyone who goes to e-discovery conferences has noted that there is a certain clubby atmosphere between national lecturers and the judges. Though I do not know Judge Peck, I do know Ralph Losey (counsel for the defense) as a friend and colleague and it is impossible for me to imagine Ralph doing anything unethical. But that does not solve the problem of the atmosphere created. And to see Judge Peck and defense counsel on the same panels at multiple conferences talking not about Da Silva Moore, but about predictive coding, which lies at the heart of the case, is disquieting to many. This is why the phrase "appearance of impropriety" is used so often – no impropriety may exist, but perhaps it just doesn't look right.
I spoke to Charles Intriago on Tuesday about the documents I received. It struck me as odd that ACEDS, a certification body, would aggressively investigate a judge and make a number of calls to vendors inquiring about whether "teaching fees" had been paid to the judge. Several sources have told me that Judge Peck requests reimbursement of travel, hotel and meals (sometimes including his wife) and, frequently, teaching fees of $1500.00.
Epiq Systems confirmed that it paid Judge Peck that amount to speak on a LegalTech panel it sponsored in January. This was stated in the ACEDS article as though it were part of the Plaintiff's brief, but I do not see it there and think it likely that ACEDS made that call. It is unknown (at least by me) whether other vendors also made payments. I confess I'd like to see Judge Peck's report on "teaching fees" paid in 2011 and by whom – and would like to know what vendors may have paid "teaching fees" for LegalTech and how much. I understand full well that gossip runs amok in cases like these, but if multiple payments by vendors were made to Judge Peck for his appearances at LegalTech, he would clear the air considerably by being forthright about any payments made to him. I certainly have a feeling that Judge Carter may take an interest in such payments.
Mind you, I am all in favor of judges participating in conferences generally – the situation here is very fact-specific. Canon 4 of the Judicial Code of Conduct specifically blesses such activity. Canon 4(H) also indicates that spousal reimbursement may be appropriate and that compensation and reimbursement of expenses are permitted "if the source of the payments does not give the appearance of influencing the judge in the judge's duties or otherwise give the appearance of impropriety." This is where the facts in this case give rise to the possibility that the appearance of impropriety may exist.
Turning now to the other side of the case, I asked Charles why ACEDS was acting as an investigator in this matter, because some folks have suggested that ACEDS is sharing information with the Plaintiffs and vice-versa. The tone of the conversation was not particularly civil – and it takes a lot for me to make even that mild statement. I will attempt to neutrally convey that small portion of the conversation which Charles will allow me to relate. I really wish I could recount the entire conversation but I have to respect the boundaries that Charles set forth.
His major points were these:
ACEDS has no dog in the fight and doesn't care who wins this case.
ACEDS has an obligation to its members to produce news and analysis, which requires investigation of the facts in the case.
ACEDS provides training and certifications.
ACEDS provides a community for its members.
I take Charles at his word, but am still perplexed that a certification body would want to be so heavily involved in an investigation of a judge in a very controversial case. Having spoken to a number of others, they share my view that the ACEDS reporting has been pro-Plaintiff by any fair reading and wonder why ACEDS seems to take this case so personally. Several of ACEDS affiliate members are temp agencies which represent contract lawyers who do e-discovery review – and their jobs may be threatened by technology-assisted review. Is this a possible motivation?
Another fact of interest: Special Counsel, an e-discovery staffing firm, was highlighted by ACEDS as the first such firm to require ACEDS certification, perhaps buttressing the notion that there may be an interest in slowing the adoption of predictive coding.
Charles appears, according to various Internet sites, to have his fingers in a lot of pies and seems to have business relationships with ACEDS, Verisqil, The Intriago Group, Asset Forfeiture and Recovery Resources, Inc. (originator of the fax transmissions), the International Association for Asset Recovery, Asset Recovery and Risk Associates, Asset Recovery Watch, Inc. and the Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists. They all appear to share the same street address and suite number. It is interesting that ACEDS, as a certification entity, and Verisqil, which provides the certification process, are really comprised of the same principals. The mission of the Intiago Group, as stated on its LinkedIn page: "The professional team at The Intriago Group create, build and promote certification associations that provide specialized training on legal, regulatory, governmental and technology subjects." I am not sure what to make of all this, but it is certainly striking.
A colleague said (and I agree) "This case has become a circus – and it is hurting the promise of the new technology." This is really the point that hits home to me – it is a perfect summary – and a great shame.
Never have I seen a case with such animus. Toxic or not, I hope those who have solid information about this case will step forward. My hope is simply to get this laundry out in the sunshine in a public forum.
What do readers think? Should a certification body be conducting these sorts of investigations?
Do you think ACEDS and the Plaintiffs are working together - and is there proof of that?
Has ACEDS received documents from the Plaintiffs before they were available on systems such as PACER?
Do you have knowledge of teaching fees or honoraria paid to Judge Peck? Do you believe such fees or honoraria create the appearance of impropriety or in any other way run counter to Canon 4 of the Judicial Code of Conduct, which explicitly allows such payments in certain contexts?
Do you share my sense that there is, legitimately, a sense of a cozy atmosphere (however innocent and unintended) between some speakers and judges that might give a party to a lawsuit pause? Do the facts of this case rise to the level of the appearance of impropriety?
I will always (sigh) think of the day that my Inbox caused me to lose most of two days to Da Silva Moore, but I want to conclude by thanking those who spoke to me off-record (and I do understand their reasons). If the facts would all come out (a slim hope of that, I know), the circus could leave town and we could get on with discovering the benefits and limitations of technology-assisted review.

Craft cocktails in a bowling alley? The Spare Room is boozy entertainment at its finest.
A bowling alley might not be the first place you'd think to grab drinks in Hollywood, but this isn't any ordinary bowling alley. Stashed away in the shadowy mezzanine above the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel lobby is the Spare Room, devised to evoke pure revelry. A show-stopping set of lanes dating back to the early 1800s stretch the length of the handsome parlor, oozing with Art Deco elegance and a clear view of Hollywood Boulevard out of big cast-iron arched windows. Though let's face it: the real reason to visit this covert gaming lounge bookended by two gleaming bars is the ace drink program, originally conceived by Aidan Demarest (Seven Grand, BarToni's) and recently revived by rising star Yael Vengroff (Harvard & Stone). While the Spare Room has historically been known for its punch bowls (there are four to choose from), Vengroff has upped the ante with 17 whimsical cocktails that feature surprising ingredients like pickle brine and coconut oil-washed vodka. Based on the half-dozen-or-so drinks our group collectively tried, we can safely say that there is not one bad swill on the menu. Of course, if handcrafted 'tails aren't your thing, by all means bowl. It just means more room at the bar for the rest of us.
Good for: Inventive mixology in a comfortable, sophisticated setting. Sidle up to the bar with a date or grab fellow night owls and stake out a cluster of velvet armchairs in the lounge area for a friendly (and free!) game of Monopoly, Jenga, Scrabble, or even Mancala. The games hostess (yes, that's a real thing) just needs to hold onto an ID. Don't miss the Spare Room's monthly tiki night, which features guest bartenders from across the country and runs May through September.
The scene: It can get crowded here, on any night of the week—even 1am on a Sunday. It used to be that guests would have to know a celebrity to get in, but these days there's no door policy or strict dress code. There's still an intimidating bouncer, however. Expect loud music ranging from jazz to rap and plenty of Hollywood types, especially on Mondays when an exclusive bowling league competes. If you're worried about getting inside, reserve one of the two lanes a few weeks in advance by emailing reservations@spareroomhollywood.com or calling 323-769-7296. FYI, an hour rental costs $100 for up to six people.
Drink this: Vengroff's specialty is of the tiki variety. The Bikini Kill ($15) is made with passion fruit, Campari, Velvet Falernum, honey and lemon. Seems simple, right? But the main ingredient will surprise you: Vengroff fat-washes vodka with coconut oil, giving the tiki-inspired libation a velvety yet overall dry flavor. For dirty martini drinkers, the Salt & Vinegar Martini ($15), made with potato vodka, dry vermouth, pickle brine and celery shrub, takes the classic drink to a whole new level. Plus it comes with potato chips, which we realize is now the only way to truly enjoy a dirty martini. And it's worth noting, Vengroff spent two years perfecting this cocktail, so that alone should be worth giving it a try. For the mezcal drinkers out there, the Porcelain Dragon ($15)—crafted by another Spare Room bartender, Pablo Chavez—balances the smoke with tart hibiscus and lime, savory basil and sweet sherry, all shaken and then poured over crushed ice. Meant for sharing, this one comes with two straws. Last but not least, Lucky Smoke ($17), a balanced blend of Japanese whiskey, navy-strength Jamaican rum, banana liqueur, vanilla and Good Luck bitters is well worth the premium price tag. The Pandan leaf garnish, which gives the drink a buttery vanilla finish, really blew us away.
Our tip: It's about $20 to park in the garage across the street, so catch an Uber or a Lyft to save money and spare the headache. Valet is around the same price. Also, there's a secret photo booth behind where they keep the rental shoes.
Love this bar! Drinks and bowling are a tad expensive. However, craft drinks are unique to this bar! Ambiance is welcoming with an old Hollywood vibe. Music is always great. Sunday nights = bingo night with drinks and bowling giveaways.
Love this place—the drinks are delicious, there are fun games to play and you can even bowl on an old-school double lane if you have $100 to spare (heyo). The cocktail bowls are impressively tasty and fun to share. My only question is why the cocktail waitresses wear booty shorts here. Seems a little trashy and outdated.
Be transported back in time at the Spare Room where Old Hollywood meets the cool and current bar scene with unique craft cocktails and the the view of the Walk of Fame below. Don't fear if you are not a seasoned bowler because the attendant will give you lots of tips and pointers.
If you're going to splurge on a boozy bowling outing, do it here. This place just exudes old school Hollywood cool, and the drinks are superb. They also happen to have especially snazzy bowling shoes.
Spare Room transports you to a by-gone era of old Hollywood glam. Whether you come for a drink or to test your skills on one of their bowling lanes - this a great place to come and paint the town red!
What a treat! If you're looking to impress someone—a date, a client, your mom—The Spare Room is a great spot to make people fall in love with LA. Not only are the cocktails fantastic, but the bowling experience is unlike any other in the city, in that you get your own personal scorekeeper and bowling coach for the duration of your game. Ask your coach to show you some trick shots, and remember to tip him well!
How cool is this place? Next time you want to go bowling and get a few drinks, you MUST come here. It's such a different spot to bowl and the punch bowl is delicious—and dangerous!
The Spare Room is super cool!! They have two beautiful bowling lanes, just make sure you make reservations ahead of time and they have delusions cocktails. We ordered a punch bowl with a gin base that was phenomenal!
The Spare Room is a perfect marriage of delicious cocktails and exceptional design. The space is very cool and a great environment to hang out with friends. You'll definitely want to explore their fantastic cocktail menu.
This place is amazing. Cocktails in a bowling alley, and good cocktails at that. I had the Salt & Vinegar Martini, averagely priced and delicious. The art deco theme sets a great ambiance too.


I have just applied to ISU graduate school. My application required Declaration of Finance form to be sent with the basic application materials (e.g. SOP, CV). But I've just recently withdrawn a lump of money from my bank account (the one that was stated in the DoF form, I really needed the money) and now I am worried.
Should I send another DoF or wait the admission decision from the ISU? I mean that will they check my bank account and is there a possibility of rejection on the ground of the outdated financial information?
You have balance on the day you mentioned on the DOF right?...So, you don't need to worry..

Religious Groups React to Anti-Bullying Legislation Passed in Ontario December 8, 2011 katied
Religious Groups React to Anti-Bullying Legislation Passed in Ontario
By katied
Premier Dalton McGuinty just announced that under new anti-bullying legistlation, students will be able to set up gay-straight alliance clubs (though the name may be different) in ALL public schools in Ontario.
"We're going to require that, at every school where students request that this be put in place, they be permitted to organize themselves with a gay-straight alliance."
It will come as no shock that various religious groups are unhappy about this.
Charles McVety, of the Institute for Canadian Values, stated, "To force, especially Christian classrooms or schools, to have homosexual clubs would of course be an affront to their family values."
What about the affront to those students that have identified themselves as gay or bisexual or transgendered or… (possibly coming from religious homes themselves) and are struggling desperately to be accepted both within their familes and within their peer group? Don't they have rights too?
McVety went on to add:
"And what does this have to do with bullying? Nothing."
Ummm… because gay kids don't get bullied, right? Or is it possible that he could be implying that when you make fun of, harass, beat, or torment a student who has identified as being gay, that's different than "real" bullying of an innocent child?
This particular news article has a lot of other "inspiring" quotes from the religious in case the one above isn't enough.
It is my understanding that this anti-bullying legislation encompasses more than just the requirement that students be permitted to form these groups if they so choose. It also allows schools to permanently expel students for bullying behaviours, rather than just being limited to suspensions. This is the most severe act a school can take and the message is clear…bullying is NOT acceptable. Period.
There also apparently is information in the legislation broadening the definition of gender and sexual identity, something that has the religious groups blowing smoke out of their ears. Having not read the legislation myself, I'm hesitant to comment about specifics, but I think it's about time that sexuality and gender were acknowledged as more of a continuum rather than a black and white concept.
Bullying is a HUGE issue everywhere and many attempts are being made around the country to address this issue and now it's coming from the top.
"We're taking policies with respect to bullying and giving them the force of law by introducing those by means of a bill and ensuring that boards must take concrete steps when it comes to preventing, intervening and applying progressive consequences…"
Well good for you McGuinty! I'm sure students around the province of Ontario are thanking you today, regardless of their sexual orientation.

What these religious people fail to understand is that even our religious schools are paid for by public money. If they want to discriminate against kids they should darn well pay for their own schools. I'd prefer it if they did pay for their own schools.
I hope McGuinty sticks to his guns, unlike he did with the sex-ed kerfuffle
I haven't seen the legislation, but if the anti-bullying strategy is a zero-tolerance or punishment technique then it's doomed to fail. As good skeptics we should be seeking evidenced-based techniques to combat social ills. Zero-tolerance policies have been repeatedly shown to fail and to unduly affect low-income students and racial minorities.
It would be better to institute a comprehensive program that promotes tolerance, as well as some punishment. We also need to try to educate those who bully as to the consequences for their victims. If a kid says "fag", we need to explain why that's offensive and not just kick him out of school.
Of course, the Ontario policy may include this, but it bears emphasizing.
Something I want to see somebody ask these religious nut jobs that oppose this type of legislation a really hard question:
If you aren't trying to force religion on other people, why is it ONLY religious groups that oppose this kind of thing? I'm not talking about groups with religious members, but groups who central purpose revolves around religion.
The following seems to be the most ironic statement in the referenced news article…
"'This legislation proposes that children be indoctrinated to reject their parents' faith and their parents' family values, and that's an affront,' said Kaplan."
Indoctrination to reject indoctrination. Who knew? Perhaps they should be more concerned of the students values and less concerned that they may "reject their parents' faith and their parents' family values". Apparently Mr. Kaplan does not comprehend the difference between being indoctrinated and being informed so the students can make their own choices.

I spent most of the first 30 years of my life in Canada. I think we idealize things we miss. Everything was better in the "Good 'ol days", and I now have trouble reconciling the country I hold dear to my heart with what I'm reading lately.
Time to go youtube me some Clara Hughes…

Here in the Philippines, we haven't even had anti discrimination passed yet and already we have these religious assholes from the Catholic church whining on about how they can't preach their hatred for the LGBT if this legislation passes:
"Imbong said the bill violated religious freedom and the "no prior restraint" accorded by the law to freedom of speech."The government may not penalize a religious organization for … excluding a person from Church responsibilities, for example, based upon that person's moral behavior which could include the practice or promotion of homosexuality," she said."http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/106981/cbcp-wants-anti-discrimination-bill-cleansed-of-provisions-on-gay-rights
Silo Mowbray
My head continues to explode. WTF is a "gay activist"? The Jesus Freaks use the term as a pejorative for whatever reason. I'm a "human rights activist" but Fundies don't want to admit to that being a far more accurate term because they'll have to confess to being douchie douche-bags of the douchiest order.
TheG, good question. The cynic in me wants to say they'd respond with "Because it just so happens that religion has a lock on morality, so religious groups would OBVIOUSLY be the ones to speak up about immoral behavior." Which makes me very angry while at the same time confused to the point of wondering if I had slipped into a parallel universe where stupid people get to vote. But it's not a parallel universe… 🙁
However well intentioned, legislation like this is almost impossible to write, while taking into account the vast gray area that exist in human interactions. What it does is give administrators almost unlimited power in their discretionary authority, and we all know how well absolute power usually ends up. It's like the power to "combat terrorism" that allows the government to do all sorts of stuff to suspects and removes their rights. The word "bully" is impossible to define well in a manner that covers all real world situations.

"Ummm… because gay kids don't get bullied, right? Or is it possible that

a student who has identified as being gay, that's different than "real"

Ummmm…or maybe because the opposition to bullies doesn't (or shouldn't) give a crap about the motivation of the bully.
Beyond the false dichotomy posed by your two rhetorical questions, your implying that the guy is okay with bullying gay kids is base calumny.
Shouldbeworkin'
" …students will be able to set up gay-straight alliance clubs (though the name may be different) in ALL public schools in Ontario."
"To force, especially Christian classrooms or schools, to have homosexual clubs …"
I'm sorry, but does "public" mean something different in Canada than it does in the US?
Dalton McGuinty just got my vote for the next provincial election.
Great summary –
Got half way to sending that article to Hemant yesterday before I got distracted. I thought it was particularly cringeworthy when they try to guilt Premier McGuinty as a 'Bad Catholic' for bringing forward this important legislation. Frankly, it's McVety who makes all Catholic's look 'bad' every time he opens his ignorant mouth.
As a note to those commenting, and any who may have tried to read the law – the Bill has not been introduced into the legislature yet. There is a Bill introduced by the Progressive Conservative opposition called the 'Anti-Bullying Act', but this isn't the Bill McGuinty refers to (and it doesn't do the things the government's Bill will do).
Yes. Due to certain circumstances that prevailed at the time the country was founded, Catholic schools were guaranteed public funding if there was enough demand in a jurisdiction (the same applied to Protestant schools where they were in the minority). Fast forward a century and a half and the Protestant schools in Ontario are now secular or multicultural, while the Catholic schools are still Catholic (with full public funding). A few years ago, the leader of the Progressive Conservatives proposed to "amend" this discriminatory legacy by funding any faith school that met the demographical criteria. This solution was not a well-received plan, and he ended up perhaps losing an election because of it. Other provinces, e.g. Newfoundland & Quebec, have already moved to a single* public, secular system.
*well, not really single, because we also have constitutional language guarantees
This inane argument could be used to prevent setting up any kind of regulation or law dealing with harassment. Why is it possible to set up anti-discrimination legislation and regulation for adult workplaces, harassment and stalking laws to deal with adult relationships off- and online, but it's "almost impossible" to do it for kids? Give me a fucking break.
If they want to discriminate against kids they should darn well pay for
their own schools. I'd prefer it if they did pay for their own schools.
I wouldn't. At least this way, the government *can* prevent them from discrimination. Let them have their own schools and those poor kids have even less chance of having their indoctrination countered.
Actually, my ideal would be to mandate that every child attend public school or homeschool with a government approved secular curriculum. That way, kids are ensured an education that is pro-science, pro-diversity, pro-feminist, and anti-bigotry.
Oh, and I hope he brings back the sex-ed thing. Maybe he will if he gets his majority back during a by-election.
Sue Blue
Interesting how the religious always see any type of legislation to ensure equal treatment of all people as discrimination against religion….which just points out the basic problem of all religions. Without the ability to discriminate between "us and them" and exclude those who don't think like they do, religion has no real point at all and no reason to exist.

>The Institute for Canadian Values.
What Canada are these idiots from? We, as a country, I believe, have showed, time and again, that we are committed to at least trying to uphold every Canadians rights.
What these people think are "canadian values" are anything but. That's not Canada. That's not even Alberta.
Hey, we are funding the catholic schools to, can we do this in Catholic schools (I am an atheist and I would join one of these programs in the Catholic High School I am in).
Anti-gay hysteria in the Philippines? Who'd of thought?
I found people in Manila to be far more tolerant of 'the gay' than folks here in the land of the free.
Erik Cameron
I'm not a fan of zero tolerance, and luckily this legislation is not zero tolerance. That said, in public schools we're dealing with children who can't protect themselves the way adults can (with the law). Because of this I think we need to lean more towards protecting victims than rehabilitating bullies.
Mcguinty himself called expulsion "a last resort"
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/expelling-bullies-a-last-resort-mcguinty-says/article2257557/
McGuinty also did an 'It get's better' commercial.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tAzhbGHZrE
Yes unfortunately in Ontario the pubic …non religious schools…and the catholic schools …are funded from the public purse.
No other religion is treated that way.
This travesty came about in 1971 due to an outgoing head of the Ontario government Bill Davis deciding to fund catholic schools.
Pressure to do so came from the catholic church at the time.
Right now, it's up to school boards and individual schools whether they'll allow Gay-Straight Alliance clubs. Once this law passes (and it will–the NDP will definitely support the bill), they won't be able to stop you and your fellow students from starting one up. There's more info here: http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/parents/safeschools.html
It's fundie doublespeak. Just like when they talk about "family values", "real women", or "pro-life". They're pretending that only they are upholding true Canadian values. The rest of us are fighting for Satan's army.
The one that really gets me are the right-wing theocratic organizations with words like "liberty" and "freedom" in their names
That's a tad simplistic. The Catholic school system already had funding up until grade 10 via the BNA act. So the government was saying "we pay for K-OAC for non-Catholics, but only for K-10 for Catholics"–clearly discriminatory. It was easier to agree to pay for the extra 3 years rather than dismantle the whole system which would require a Constitutional amendment. This happened in 1984, by the way, not '71.
They don't use those ones so much up north here. We have (had?) one using "social justice" in its title, but I think "liberty" and "freedom" as buzzwords would come off as too American sounding.
I think there was a lot of sex ed related stuff in this bill. Unless I'm mistaken he has a majority -1 and the support of the NDP leadership on this issue.
Heh, I wonder if buzzwords like 'social' come off in America as too commie sounding.
"That's a tad simplistic"
Simplistic or not ….BNA Act or not …public money should not fund religious schools of any stripe.
John Tory learned that the hard way.
If any religious organization wishes to set up facilities to teach anything other than "fact based secular subjects" then they should find the money from within that particular faith community and not expect others who hold radically different views to pay to teach their children anything about the catholic faith.
The Vatican is one of the richest financial entities on earth.
Let the Canadian catholics ask mother church to fund there schools.
Canadian society all grown up now and far more sophisticated than when the BNA Act was crafted.
We are a long way distant from ghosts and goblins and things that go bump n the night.
Reading some of the comments on the linked article is just saddening. So many completely miss the point and if I read another 'I hate bullying in any form but…' comment I may just scream
You sound like an ignorant fool. The provisions of the BNA were extremely sophisticated, and, if I might say, part of what gives Canada our distinctive culture. The fathers of Confederation were presented a situation that could have resulted in decades of civil war and likely takeover by the US, and crafted out of it one of the first societies in which minority rights were explicitly protected. It may be time to turn the page and move on so that all publicly funded schools are secular, but it's rather ridiculous for you to be angry at Bill Davis for not single-handedly passing a Constitutional amendment to do so back in the mid-eighties (when we were all still smarting from the failure to get Quebec on board, btw).
Demonhype
It still amazes me that these people can't see the difference between believing in their faith and bullying/harassing/oppressing/persecuting others because of that belief.
You don't like gays? That's fine. You don't have to be one, you don't have to be friends with one, and y0u are within your rights to dislike them for whatever reason. You can even express that in the appropriate situations (for example, a class discussion in civics about gay marriage or something). However, you are not within your rights to bully, beat up, harass, or otherwise oppress those people. You can disapprove of the gay kid at school, but you do not get to follow behind them at all times calling them an abomination. You don't get to beat him or hold his head in the toilet or throw your empty soda cans at him in the cafeteria.
And even though their unapologetic existence feels somehow like "persecution" to you, it is not. You are in an overprivileged majority, so stop acting like the fact that a gay or atheist exists openly and unapologetically without hiding it as if it were a shameful venereal disease makes you a victim in any way.
Oh, your religion requires you to harass, bully, beat and persecute gays? Sorry, you don't get to do that. No one's religious liberties extend to harassing, bullying, beating or persecuting other people. If we let people engage in violence and persecution just because they believe an invisible man told them to do so, this world would go up in flames in ten minutes. It's a rule that benefits you as much as all your intended targets even if you don't realize it, and without it you simply couldn't have a civilized society.
"You sound like an ignorant fool. "
My but religion can get our knickers in a twist….
A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.N0 matter how slice and dice this subject funding religion from the public purse in the context of 2011 should not be permitted.Dragging in historical argument and silly threats of civil war cannot alter the "current" Canadian society's constant move to ward secularism and away from superstitions dogma. The religious should fund there own faiths.
Bo Tait
And even then the expulsion is not the last resort.
York University's Debra Pepler, one of Canada's leading experts on bullying, said if students are now going to face expulsion, they need "alternative classrooms, alternative schools where there is extensive mental health support — that's what these youth need."
They must learn to relate in a positive way, and when students "struggle in math, we give them support and tutoring in math," she added.
"When they struggle with social and emotional development, it seems to be we should come in with every resource we have."
and from McGuinty: Expelled students can rehabilitate themselves back into learning.
http://mobile.thestar.com/mobile/NEWS/article/1094683
You are the one who dragged in the historical argument, and as a historian* I found your statements to be ignorant. That's what has my knickers in a twist, not your criticism of supporting with public funds a faith-based school system in the 21st century.
If you'd read my comments on this thread, you'd know that I don't even like the idea of private faith-based schools.
*by education, not by employment
All right "almost impossible to write" might be an overstatement. However I more accurate statement would be "almost never written well". The reason it is a little easier to write for adults is that enforcing the law uses the court system, which is less likely to get tied up for ridiculous stuff, and affords more protections to the accused. If the implementation of an anti bullying law allows school administrators to exerciser their own discretion including permanent expulsion from school, it gives an opportunity for horrible decisions with little recourse. If history serves an example when such an opportunity is available it is likely at some point to occur. But I appreciate your request for a "fucking break", it seems it could potentially help you chill out a bit.
Michael Appleman
Nice. Reminds me of "I'm not racist but…"
Philip Walterhouse
This homophobia from the Catholic schools has been a problem for the last year. I think what needs to and eventually will happen is for the provincial government to stop funding Catholic Schools.
They are the only ones who have put up a fuss.
The opposition is not to the law against bullying, it is in the educational material it enforces. Rather than stopping bullying it will promote bullying the other way around towards kids from "religious" homes because they are trying to follow Biblical values and choose not to "try" homosexuality.
The curriculum is forcing kids to "consider their inner nature" because maybe a boy isn't actually a boy, or girl actually a girl. Little kids don't need this forced on them. There is enough garbage they have to wade through with broken homes and all already.
If you want to stop bullying, I complete agree that you work with the bullies because usually they have some kind of mental trauma that causes them to want to lash out as easy targets.
The Other Guy
This basically takes the cake on how I feel about religion and their hate. Good job Demonhype!
