Q: Split powers of the multiplicative group of a field Let $K$ be a field, $K^\times$ its multiplicative group and $I$ an infinite set. Is then $(K^\times)^{(I)} \subseteq (K^\times)^I$ a direct summand? If not, is it possible to characterize the fields for which this is true?
In any case, it's a pure subgroup. If $K$ is finite, the answer is yes. If $K$ has arbitrary roots, that is $K^\times$ is divisible, then it's also true. If $K^\times$ is the additive group of a vector space (i.e. it's elementary abelian for some prime or uniquely divisible), you can use linear algebra. If $K^\times$ is a finite direct sum of these types, then it also works; e.g. $\mathbb{R}^\times = \mathbb{Z}/2 \times \mathbb{R}^+$.
Now what about $K = \mathbb{Q}$. Here $K^\times = \mathbb{Z}/2 \oplus \mathbb{Z}^{(\mathbb{P})}$. If $I=\mathbb{N}$ and $\hom((\mathbb{Z}^{(I)})^I,\mathbb{Z})$ is countable, then it's false. But I don't know if this is true, the argument of Specker computing $\hom(\mathbb{Z}^\mathbb{N},\mathbb{Z})$ does not seem to take over. Another case would be that $K^\times$ is torsion, i.e. $K$ is an algebraic extension of $\mathbb{F}_p$ for some prime $p$, e.g. $K = \mathrm{colim}\_s \mathbb{F}\_{p^{q^s}}$ for some prime $q$ and $K^\times = \mathrm{colim}\_s \mathbb{Z}/(p^{q^s}-1)$. This is a subgroup of $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$, which does not have to be divisible.
I don't know an example of an abelian group $G$ such that $G^{(I)}$ is not a direct summand of $G^I$, but I'm pretty sure that there is one. But does this $G$ also arise as $K^\times$? (EDIT: I know that $G=\mathbb{Z}, I = \mathbb{N}$ does it, but $\mathbb{Z}$ is no $K^x$.) There are several characterizations1 when $G$ has the form $K^\times$ for some field $K$. Perhaps this is useful here. The whole question is motivated by the study of $K \otimes_K \otimes_K ...$ as defined here.
1R.M. Dicker, A set of independent axioms for a field and a condition for a group to be the multiplicative group of a field, Proc. London Math. Soc., 18, 1968, p.114 - 124

A: Re: "I don't know an example of an abelian group $G$ such that $G^{(I)}$ is not a direct summand of $G^I$, but I'm pretty sure that there is one."
Let $G$ be the the integers, and $I$ a countable indexing set.  If $G^{(I)}$ were a direct summand, let $P$ be a complement summand.
We arrive at a contradiction as follows: First, $P$ is isomorphic to $G^{I}/G^{(I)}$ which contains the element $(2,4,8,16,32,\ldots)$ modulo $G^{(I)}$, which (as we can peal off any of the initial terms) is a non-zero element which is infinitely divisible by 2.  Second, $P$ is a subgroup of $G^{I}$, which has no infinitely divisible elements (other than zero).

I think this argument might be modified to show that the algebraic closure of a finite field will give you the counter-example you need (changing "divisibililty" to some sort of degree consideration), but I don't have a lot of time to think about it right now.  I'll come back later if someone else doesn't answer your question fully.

Back now. Try the following.  Let $K$ be the field obtained by adjoining to $\mathbb{Q}$ the $2^{p}$th root of each prime prime $p$ (in $\mathbb{Z}$).  Let $G$ be the multiplicative group of $K$.  Suppose by way of contradiction that $G^{(I)}$ is a direct summand of $G^{I}$, and let $C$ be a complement.  As before, $C$ is isomorphic to $G^{I}/G^{(I)}$, and the element $(2,3,5,\ldots )$ modulo $G^{I}$ is infinitely divisible by $2$ (thinking of ``divisibility'' multiplicatively in this case--in other words, after chopping off the front, we can take square roots as many times as we want).  However, I believe it is the case that there is no element of $G^{I}$ which is infinitely divisible in this sense.  (I'll leave it to the experts to prove this, but I think some form of Kummer theory would suffice.  But it may be difficult to prove it.)  [One last edit: I think it may even be easier to look at $\mathbb{Q}(x_1,x_2,\ldots)$ and adjoin a $2^{n}$th root of $x_{n}$, and modify the example accordingly.]

Unibet should launch a Unibet PA app soon that will make it possible to place bets on your mobile devices whenever you feel like it, and from wherever you are at the moment.
Continue to read our review and discover which features should be available and what kind of promotions you can expect from the application.
Why Use the Unibet App?
Unibet is known to be one of the world's most famous online sports betting operators. Recently, the operator has announced its intention to enter the US market, starting with New Jersey. Unibet Pennsylvania is next. Therefore, we hope to see the Unibet PA website and applications in the near future.
The mobile app will probably be available for both iOS and Android devices, and it will bring you the opportunity to play from anywhere as long as you are within the State of Pennsylvania. Having separate applications for different sections of the website is a common thing. That's why besides the Unibet sportsbook app we expect to see a special Unibet Casino app and Unibet Poker App.
All those who don't want to download the apps to their mobile devices, alternatively they will likely be able to access the official website from any browser of their mobile devices. As a browser-based client, they could access all the features that can be found on the app, but they don't have to download it. However, the app allows you to carry around your sportsbook right at your pocket.
Unibet still needs to disclose all the details of the offer. However, usually, the Unibet Bonus can be activated once the software is downloaded and the user account is created. The welcome bonus might require a Unibet Bonus Code in order to be activated.
Like we have already said, all the details of the bonus still remain unknown. In most cases, the welcome bonus is either conceived as extra betting money or free bet. The most likely is to have an initial deposit type of bonus or first bet bonus.
Sometimes, certain sportsbooks provide a mobile-special bonus intended to bettors who use their devices to access Unibet. If there is no such bonus, you can also claim the regular one via your mobile device.
We highly recommend you to wait for the website to be launched and then check the 'Promotion' section to see what the operator offers to its bettors from Pennsylvania.
Opening an account on Unibet should be a really easy procedure as it's the case with the non-US based websites.
First of all, you'll have to download the Unibet app and fill out the registration form. Let's take a look at the simple step by step guide on how to register at the current European app.
The Unibet PA app will probably follow the same pattern.
First of all, they need to visit iTunes or Google Play depending on the operating system their device uses and then download the Unibet App.
In the US, you'll need to visit the Unibet website or iTunes, as Google Play does not allow real money gambling apps in its US store.
Once the app is installed, they need to click to the 'Join' button.
The registration form needs to be completed with personal details, and they need to pick a unique username and create their own password.
If there's a Unibet Promo Code required, it has to be entered as well, since it's the code that activates the promotion.
In the end, they have to check the box stating that they are familiar with the terms and conditions.
Finally, after the registration form has been submitted, they need to validate their phone number or email in order to log in to their account.
The Unibet app is expected to provide the same features and capabilities as the desktop version of the website.
The app just has way more benefits. You can have the whole sports betting universe at your fingertips.
You can also choose to be notified once your bet is completed and your teams are participating.
Mobile sportsbook applications are mostly characterized by easy navigation, quick deposits, and withdrawals. Live betting and streaming are also usually available on the app making sure you never miss the gaming action.
Besides the Unibet Sports App, there's also a Hockey Expert app whose main aim is to help customers with hockey bets.
This app is related to sport, however, is separate to the Unibet Sportsbook App.
That's why it requires a separate download from the App Store or Google Play Store.
The Unibet App should be a great solution for all of you who are searching for online betting in PA.
The date of the launch of the app is still unknown, but it's expected that Unibet becomes one of the leading sports betting operators on the US market, following its European model.
To keep in touch with all the latest information about the Unibet app and its development, make sure to revisit this page in the near future.
As soon as we have some new information about the current status of Unibet in Pennsylvania, we'll insert them in our review.

1954: Estell Tall Fashions
Ester MacKenzie, left, and Eleanor Armstrong, were co-owners of Estel Tall Fashion, a women's clothing store at 720 Main St. The store's name, the women told the Tribune, was arrived at by combing the names of the two owners. The store, the women said, focuses on the fashion needs of taller women. "Tall girls," Armstrong said, "shouldn't be afraid to admit their height. After all, most top models are tall."
1954: Howards Clothes
Howards Clothes employees, from left, Raymond E. Wrobel (president, general manager and part owner), Rudolph Secky, James Wagner, John McCown and John D. Desmond Jr. (secretary, treasurer and part owner) are pictured in 1954 inside their store, which opened in 1926 at 112 S. Fourth St., which is now home to Deaf Ear Record Exchange.
1954: Crescent Jewelers
Manager of Crescent Jewelers Sam Horwitz, left, is shown here in this 1954 photo with, from left, Marion Horwitz, Robert Hurin and Ronald N. Boettcher. The building at 429 Main St. has housed a jewelry store since 1881 when it was Irvine Jewelers, The business was purchased by Isador Horwitz in 1950.
1954: Tom's Speedometer Shop
Tom's Speedometer Shop employees — from left, bookkeeper Mrs. Keenan, owner Tom Keenan, manager Floyd Tolley and technician Robert Olson — are shown in their store in this 1954 photo. Tom Keenan opened the speedometer repair business in 1928 in the back of a Second Street garage. It later moved to 614 Main St. In later years, the business mainly did locksmith work and lamp repair. It closed in 2008. Today, the location is home to resale shop.
1954: YMCA basketball
Tip-off action during a 1954 boys basketball game in the gymnasium of the old YMCA building at 617 to 629 Main St. A La Crosse YMCA basketball team was among the first to play the sport when it was introduced here in 1894, at a time when there were 11 players to a team and scores of 5-0 were common, according to local history files. Anyone with more information about this photo or wishing to donate photos of the Coulee Region may contact the La Crosse Public Library Archives at 608-789-7136.
1954: 5 and 10-cent Store fire
Ladders and hoses were plentiful as La Crosse firemen battled a blaze at the R.E. Osborne 5 and 10-cent Store on Dec. 13, 1954. The fire, which began in the basement of the Osborne store at 1201 Caledonia St., gutted the building and an adjoining business, the Haraldson Shoe Store at 1203 Caledonia St. (not shown). The Osborne building was later razed and replaced by a one-story building that was home to a Ben Franklin store for many years before being occupied by the building's current tenant, Options Clinic. This view of the fire was taken from St. Paul Street and also shows the Buckhorn Tavern at 621 St. Paul St. This building remains standing today and is now home to Dewey's Side Street Saloon.

1956: Central High School Memorial Day assembly
The school color guard marches past students during the 1956 Memorial Day assembly at Central High School, then located at 16th and Cass streets. This ceremony was part of an ongoing annual tradition at Central dating back to 1923 to honor the school's war dead. The members of this color guard were Bill Cornell, Dick Matl, Jim Hamilton and Don Lintelman, according to Central yearbook files. Anyone with more information about this photo or wishing to donate photos of the Coulee Region may contact the La Crosse Public Library Archives at 608-789-7136 .
1957: Kroger
The La Crosse Tribune published this special section to mark the 1957 opening of a Kroger supermarket in the Village Shopping Center. The food store became a Quillin's supermarket in 1971. In 2011, the 35,000-square-foot building was razed to make way for a Festival Foods that opened later that year.
1957: Jackson Plaza
This is the cover a special section of the La Crosse Tribune marking the 1957 opening of Jackson Plaza on the South Side of La Crosse. Although the businesses have changed many times over the years, the strip mall remains at 19th and Jackson.
1957: Old Style newspaper advertisement
This advertisement for Old Style Lager appeared in the La Crosse Tribune in 1957.
1958: 1st National Bank
This page was part of a special section the La Crosse Tribune published in 1958 to mark the opening of the new 1st National Bank building in La Crosse. The financial institution saw several name changes — and the building at the corner of Fifth Avenue and King Street had several remodels — before it took on the Wells Fargo name in 2000.
1958: State Bank of La Crosse
This full-page advertisement, published in the May 23, 1958, La Crosse Tribune, announced an open house at the remodeled office of State Bank of La Crosse, located at the corner of Fourth and Main streets. A second renovation in 1997 included removing the granite panels that were installed on the south side of the building in 1958. The granite was replaced with limestone, creating a match to the original stone, which was quarried from Grandad Bluff. The institution, which today goes by the name State Bank Financial, was founded in 1879 and has occupied the building since 1913.
1958: Heat exchanger plant
Trane workers check over equipment in 1958 at the company's new $12 million, 76,800-square-foot heat exchanger plant near the corner of Ward Avenue and Losey Boulevard.
1958: American Legion parade
Spectators crowd the 400 block of Main Street on July 27, 1958, to watch a parade honoring the American Legion.
This parade capped off the Legion's annual Wisconsin state convention then being held in La Crosse for the first time since 1932. An estimated 40,000 people turned out for the "mammoth parade," which was nearly three hours long, according to Tribune files.

Thanks for a peek at my childhood, particularly my "tweener" years. I remember seeing the million bucks piled neatly and tightly into a large plexiglass square.
My most vivid memory of the Kroger store was of me and a couple of buddies riding our bikes to "The Village" the day that a carnival that had been set up there for a few days was being knocked down to move on to another town.
The "star" attraction in the side show was Big Ben, a python or anaconda supposedly the largest snake in captivity. He was displayed behind glass, stretched to his full length of something more than 30 feet.
It was a flea-bitten carnival and literally a fly-specked sideshow. I got rooked out of 10 cents or a quarter, probably, paying to see Big Ben, who was so inert that I thought he was dead, but a carnie watching over insisted that big snakes like Big Ben were mostly inert after eating, and that was the case here.
But the night me and my pals rode out to watch them knock down the carnival, there was a backhoe digging a trench some 30 feet long several feet south of the Kroger building in a dirt lot. It was Big Ben's grave. He was, indeed, dead, making his final and probably rotten appearance in La Crosse. I imagine in a couple hundred thousand years, after our and several subsequent human civilizations have come and go, paleontologists will be digging into the soil around here and conclude this was once a tropical area because it had giant, constricting snakes living here.
Thanks for the memories, as somebody once crooned.

Non-point source pollution; Submarine groundwater discharge; Methane; Radon; Nitrate; Waquoit Bay; Boston Harbor
We constructed a survey system of radon/methane/nitrate/salinity to find sites of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and groundwater nitrate input. We deployed the system in Waquoit Bay and Boston Harbor, MA where we derived SGD rates using a mass balance of radon with methane serving as a fine resolution qualitative indicator of groundwater. In Waquoit Bay we identified several locations of enhanced groundwater discharge, out of which two (Childs and Quashnet Rivers) were studied in more detail. The Childs River was characterized by high nitrate input via groundwater discharge, while the Quashnet River SGD was notable but not a significant source of nitrate. Our radon survey of Boston Harbor revealed several sites with significant SGD, out of these Inner Harbor and parts of Dorchester Bay and Quincy Bay had groundwater fluxes accompanied by significant water column nitrogen concentrations. The survey system has proven effective in revealing areas of SGD and non-point source pollution.

This vintage, French classroom poster is published by Rossignol and is double sided. One side shows a domestic scene in the early 1960's and the other has a view of a car accident and the aftermath.
The domestic print has an image of two women and a child working in a laundry before the advent of washing machines and tumble dryers. One woman is washing in a large tin bath, whilst the other hangs the clean linen on the line. A child plays in the foreground whilst the various pieces of equipment and soaps are visible about the room. This is a really charming print. The reverse of this print couldn't be more of a contrast! Here we are presented with a Gendarme directing traffic whilst his colleagues and members of the public rush to help at the scene of an accident. The consequences of not giving way at a crossroads are all too apparent here - French school children weren't spared the gory details!


Agile methods are a set of development processes intended to create software in a lighter, faster, more people-centric way. Many development teams have adopted "agile" methodologies to manage change and to improve software quality. These methodologies promote continuous integration as a practice to build and test software products incrementally as new features are included, bugs are fixed, and code is refactored.
This one-day seminar will walk provide an overview of Agile Software Development, its principles, methods and values; highlighting of the most widely used, and simplest to apply Agile method known as "Scrum".
Please join Microsoft, Neudesic, and Directions Training Microsoft Gold Certified Partner's for this one-day seminar. Thank you, we look forward to seeing you there!
Introduction to Agile (What, Why) | Agile methods are fast becoming commonplace in software development practices for many organizations. However, they represent a significant paradigm shift in the way in which stakeholders and team members are engaged, projects are planned, manner in which the team reacts to change, and which teams work together. The session will provide an overview of Agile Software Development, its principles, methods and values. Participants will learn the reason why Agile Methods are gaining share in software projects and driving up ROI.
Scrum Essentials | Several methodologies live within the space known as "Agile Software Development". One of the most widely used, and simplest to apply Agile methods is known as "Scrum". This session teaches the essentials of how to use "Scrum" on projects, focusing on the techniques and practices that development teams require while working on an Agile / Scrum project. The session will provide the required practices, roles and rules of Scrum, and answer specific questions about how to apply Agile Methods (via Scrum) to projects. Participants will review how a product backlog is used to plan a sprint, and learn how to read project status through a sprint backlog and burn down chart.
Agile Planning and Estimation | Session teaches how to plan the scope and schedule of a Scrum project, focusing on hands-on project planning techniques for Agile teams. Requires familiarity with Agile software development (or prior attendance to the above sessions).
· Set up a winning project "constraint profile"
Team Foundation Server | See how Microsoft's Team Foundation Server can support your team's Scrum process to fully benefit from Scrum's practices and rules. In this session we'll discuss how you can use TFS to leverage the Scrum essentials learned in the earlier session.
Customer Experiences | In this final session, we will hear a "real-world" example of how Scrum is successfully being used today in a development organization.

Black Homeowners Lost $156 Billion Due to Discrimination
In December 2018, the Brookings Institute released a report that examined and documented the devaluation of homes in majority Black neighborhoods. The report found that, "Across all majority black
neighborhoods, owner-occupied homes are undervalued by $48,000 per home on average, amounting to $156 billion in cumulative losses."
As was pointed out, by Andre Perry (lead author of the report) at the Brookings Institute's "Homeownership while Black" forum, the $156 billion in losses could have gone towards funding for:
4.4 million Black-owned businesses
8.1 million 4-year college degrees at public colleges and universities
It would replace the pipes in Flint, MI 3,000 times
It would fund 97% of Hurricane Katrina costs
That's a lot of money!
Consequently, the unfair and discriminatory devaluation of Black homes harms Black residents substantially. It increases the racial wealth gap, thereby preventing access to upward mobility.
In case you were wondering why it's hard for many Black communities to build wealth, start with reading this report.
Here are some highlights from the report:
There is strong evidence that bias has tangible effects on real estate markets, both historically and today. During the 20th century, both explicit government institutions and decentralized political actions created and sustained racially segregated housing conditions in the United States. (page 5)
This has created what has been dubbed a "segregation tax," resulting in lower property valuations for blacks compared to whites per dollar of income. (page 5)
Contemporary work from social scientists has aimed to sort out whether these lower valuations are caused by differences in socio-economic status, neighborhood qualities, or discrimination. The results tend to show compelling evidence for discrimination. In one study, Valerie Lewis, Michael Emerson, and Stephen Klineberg collected detailed survey data on neighborhood racial preferences in Houston, Texas. They asked people to imagine that they were looking for a new house, found one within their price range and close to their job; they then say to respondents, "checking the neighborhood . . ." and then present different scenarios based on racial composition, school quality, crime, and property value changes
for the hypothetical neighborhood." (page 5)
Black Americans are highly urbanized. 90 percent live in metropolitan areas, compared to 86 percent of all U.S. residents. And decades after the Civil Rights movement, blacks remain highly segregated. Though blacks comprise just 12 percent of the U.S. population, 70 percent live in neighborhoods that are over 20 percent black, and 41 percent live in majority black neighborhoods.
These majority black neighborhoods may be overlooked as sites for economic development, but they contain important assets, in terms of people, public infrastructure, and wealth. (page 10)
The devaluation of black neighborhoods is widespread across the country. There are 119 metropolitan areas with at least one majority black census tract and one census tract that is less than 1 percent black. In 117 of these 119 metro areas, homes in majority black neighborhoods are valued lower than homes in neighborhoods where blacks are less than 1 percent of the population. Gainesville, Fla. and Sebring, Fla. are the only exceptions.
On Fairfax and Northam: How Justice Was Weaponized to Excuse Racism
As a Black woman that has experienced sexual assault, the last few days in Virginia politics has left me reeling in a vortex of anger and distrust. Unfortunately, I'm not alone. Governor Ralph Northam effectively lost the Black community's trust with his admission/non-admission of having posed in a yearbook photo with blackface and Ku Klux Klan robes at the ripe age of 25 years old.
Consequently, he was asked by Virginia Democrats to resign. He promptly refused, causing more mayhem. However, the glimmer of hope was the possibility of Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, taking Northam's place.
Justin Fairfax speaking to reporters.
Then, suddenly that glimmer of hope came crashing down as sexual abuse allegations spread about Fairfax. With two allegations, one from Professor Vanessa Tyson (2004) and one from Meredith Watson (2000) – it was clear that Fairfax was no longer on the road to becoming governor. It was also clear that the political circus in Virginia was going to become more complicated, more disappointing, and more enraging.
As scholar Melissa Harris-Perry pointed out on Twitter, "Now observers are wringing hands over the "racist v rapist" dilemma facing Virginia. Welcome to the intersection where black women live."
Democrats were at first unsure how to process the Fairfax allegations. But as Vanessa Tyson and Meredith Watson told more of their very detailed and compelling stories, a uniformed call for Fairfax's resignation began. There was even a delegate preparing to impeach him.
At the same time, Governor Ralph Northam was all but planning a quiet victory party, hoping to rebuild his appeal among Black voters with a new race-based agenda. The conversation about his photos with blackface and KKK robes mostly died down. Many people, including some self-proclaimed progressives, rested on the "blackface is bad but not criminal," excuse.
Ralph Northam speaking in an interview with CBS.
These statements dangerously minimize the fact that the Ku Klux Klan is a domestic terrorist group. Black communities were not angry at Northam for having bad manners. We were angry because those photographs depict an alignment with people that have terrorized, murdered, and raped Black and Brown people across the United States of America. A 25-year-old man in medical school (FROM VIRGINIA) knows very well what the Klan is and what they represent.
If Tamir Rice was a man, if Mike Brown was a man, if Trayvon Martin was a man, then surely Ralph Northam was a man at 25 years old – fully capable of the repercussions of his actions (both then and now).
As a Black woman that has experienced sexual assault, I am in no way excusing or minimizing allegations against Justin Fairfax. Nevertheless, accountability shouldn't be selectively reserved when it comes to issues surrounding racism and sexual assault. Though the two issues should never be conflated – we can and should hold people accountable for both.
I feared that Democrats would allow Northam and his allies to weaponize the Fairfax allegations in order to remain governor and never be held fully accountable for his actions. And that is exactly what happened. Basically, Fairfax's sexual assault allegations became the shield for Northam's racist transgressions. In that case, Black women, whom everyone suddenly pretends to care about, are no safer, no more protected than we were before.
It's all a horrible mess that no one could have predicted. But we're here now, and we have to make sense of it.
In both cases, there must be justice. Fairfax has been accused of a crime. Vanessa Tyson and Meredith Watson should be heard. Their testimonies should be taken seriously. There should be a full investigation, and there should be full accountability. On the other hand, Northam publically aligned himself with terrorists in his yearbook photos. To me, this is enough for removal as well. And he should also be thoroughly investigated.
But now that's not going to happen.
Between Fairfax and Northam, the only thing I'm rooting for is truth and justice.
However, we can not allow the hope for justice to be weaponized against us. Untangling this web of chaos isn't easy. Even as I write this, I feel juxtaposed against myself. Perhaps, I am.
However, if Democrats were willing to impeach Fairfax with no specific plan for addressing Northam, they were not truly working towards ensuring justice. They've only allowed justice to be weaponized to protect another person in power.
Lastly, as we move closer to 2020, there are only going to be more revelations, accusations, and scandals. I strongly advise Democrats to develop a well thought out process that brings more order and equality to moves towards investigating issues and enforcing accountability.

Nappily Ever After: A Black woman's journey to self-discovery now on Netflix
I'm super excited about the premiere of Nappily Ever After on Netflix.
The movie is based on the book by Trisha R. Thomas. It's refreshing to see the narrative concerning the relationship that Black women have with our natural hair and how it affects our sense of self and relationships. I remember the first time that I ever chopped off my hair. I never had much, to begin with, but like many Black girls, that was mainly due to breakage and damage caused by perms that we were taught to live by in our communities.
I dabbled with natural hair in high school but social pressures and a lack of guidance concerning natural hair care brought me back to the perm. There were no natural hair Youtube gurus back then. Growing up in a small town, I was pretty much on my own. As soon as I graduated, I cut off every bit of permed hair and started growing locs. It was a liberating experience that was one of my entry points to womanhood. I had chosen to embrace my natural kinks and that process led me on a road to self-discovery and empowerment.
Nappily Ever After showcases a similar experience.
Additionally, I think it's great that this movie ties in how Black women's decision to wear our natural hair has an effect on our dating lives. I've found it to be a blessing. Natural hair is a simple ignorance deterrent. It helped me to stay clear of men obsessed with European standards of beauty. No Black woman should be dating them anyway. What some view as a diss is really a blessing in disguise.
Many of my sister-friends have shared similar stories. I've enjoyed watching Sanaa Lathan share the ups and downs of our experiences in a positive light on a major platform.
Nappily Ever After is not only about hair. It's a story about a Black woman's journey to self-discovery and the reclamation of her life.
Read the movie synopsis below and Happy Watching!
Violet Jones has a seemingly flawless life – a great job, a handsome doctor boyfriend, and a meticulously maintained perfect coiffure. But after an accident at the hair-dresser, each of these things start to unravel, and Violet begins to realize that she was living the life she thought she was supposed to live, not the one that she really wanted. Starring Sanaa Lathan, Ricky Whittle, Lyriq Bent with Ernie Hudson and Lynn Whitfield. Nappily Ever After premieres September 21st only on Netflix.


"Trio For Solo Contrabass" depicts two musicians and the artist working together to play a single pitch on the contrabass indefinitely using a two-meter long bow. The extended bow unifies the bodies into one being. In this video, multiple points of tension (hair of the bow, strings of the contrabass, muscles of the performers) precisely come together to create a meditative sound experience. The continuous motion of the performers unending sound creates a space to just be.

170-Traces of dreams for soldiers
A short distance southwest of Mid-Hayes, there was a small hill with a panoramic view of the city.
At the top of it, at the best vantage point, there was a sort of bizarre sight.
There are swords. There are spears. There were bows, axes and staffs.
There were many weapons propped up on the hilltop, crammed together.
All of them are grave markers.
Ever since I became the Demon King and led the army, all the men who died in the war are enshrined in this graveyard.
They are all dead, and can no longer be resurrected or reborn.
There was no such thing as magic in the Age of Magic.
Misha mutters.
'I visited it once, two thousand years later, and I guess it was cleared away. There were traces of something that looked like it had been moved by magic.'
She looks down and thinks about something.
''........There is a palace in Midhays that is dedicated to the fallen of the war. It was built a thousand years ago, since the age of magic.
That's probably where they were sent.
"These swords and spears are not magic tools. "These swords and spears are not magic tools, for they could not hold a tombstone in the open.
We don't use magic to repair them because that's the way it's done with the dead. When a weapon is left to decay, it is still there.
The older a weapon is, the more magical power it has. It is said that by making a gravestone with a weapon that has no magic power, the dead will someday come back to life. Of course, whether this is true or not is not certain.
In order for the fallen to come back to life, a long period of time must pass. A much longer time than the world has been created and is now. Now, no one can prove it yet.
Common sense dictates that those whose roots have perished will not rise. But there is no way to confirm that this method is impossible.
Or perhaps it was a salvation that the founder of the demon race had found.
There was.
Misha pointed to the back of the cemetery.
Quite far away, she could see an old mansion.
If it's true to those letters carved on the wall, that's where Eldmead should be.
But we can't head there right away.
''Do you have a moment?''
With that alone, Misha nodded his head in a way that I'm not sure if he knew what I was thinking.
I stepped out loosely and walked in front of the numerous grave markers.
I've come here, and I can't just walk by.
Do you understand, Misha?
She stands beside me, gazing at the tombstone as well.
'I couldn't protect this many of them,'
I knelt there.
They died for peace.
They were lured by my dreams and fought to their doom.
The more loyal of my men, the more they have gone before me.
I failed to protect them.
I wasn't strong enough.
I had to be strong.
I had to win peace. To overturn the inexcusable. To end the tragedy.
To respond to the thoughts of those who died in the middle of their lives.
Even if you call me a tyrant, even if you call me a tyrant, even if you call me a brutalist, for the sake of a peaceful future that will surely come someday, I reigned in this land as the Demon King.
Still, no matter how much power and magic I have acquired, the lives of those who have already perished will not return.
There is good news for all of us.
I bow my head to ask for forgiveness and tell my men, who are now gone.
We have peace. You should be proud. We have won.
Is it really a victory?
The only thing that can be said to the fallen is, "You have done well.
"You have done well to fulfill your vows.
The tombstone must be in this place.
Together they swore an oath, and on this hill their souls rest.
We have placed their grave markers in a good spot so that one day when peace comes, they can look out over the city of Midhays.
It was supposed to stay here, as it was, but it doesn't work out the way you want it to.
After 2,000 years, nothing stays the same.
I'm sorry. I failed to fulfill my vow.
If I was stronger, strong enough to hold everything in the world in a light grip, I could have saved their lives.
The White Flower.
Misha used the magic of to place a single flower on each of the grave markers.
She kneels down next to me.
"Look up.
Misha whispered ladylike.
'Surely I don't want to see the Demon King turn over.
Hearing those words, I slowly looked up.
'Guys, I want to see your face, my dear.
Misha's words gently caress my ears.
As if they were caressing my heart.
'The face of a demon king living in a time of peace. For that they risked their lives to fight.
What makes you think that?
Misha turned his evil eye to the gravestone.
''I feel like everyone's thoughts are still here.
The thought of a dead man?
Curtly Misha nodded.
'My heart is still here.'
It sounds unassuming, yet so soft.
'I'm with Anos.'
Misha's evil eye looked into the depths of her mind. After the battle with the Spelled King's men, the demon's eyes may have become more and more visible.
Even I can't see what I can't see.
"I couldn't bring these people back to the age of peace.
Misha quietly shook her head from side to side.
'They were saved by the Demon King, and they wanted to save him. I think they wished for a time when my lord didn't have to behave in tyranny.
Her blue eyes peered at me intently.
"Misha.
"Hm.
What do these people want?
He pondered, then Misha said.
'Smile for them.'
I thought that was a surprising line.
"In front of the dead?
'They wanted to know how you laugh, my lord. They wanted to know the true face of the Demon King who never fought.
It's not like we hadn't laughed in two thousand years ago, though.
It's not as if they didn't know how to laugh.
I used to invite clowns and traveling entertainers to the Demon King's Castle and throw them a party.
But maybe they thought that was what I wanted to do.
It was impossible for me to know at the time, but I'm sure I've never laughed like I did after my reincarnation.
"I was a poor king, unable to take into account the feelings of his men.
I give them a straight face and say.
'With your help, I could only go to a time of peace.'
It reminds me of the days of magic.
Boring classes, degenerate magical formulas, descendants who don't even recognize me as a demon king.
What a ridiculous, boring, peaceful day where no one died.
If I could, I would have let them see that, too.
"Thank you.
With those words, he thanked his subordinates for their help and labor.
I don't know if I'm laughing well, but forgive me for this.
Standing up, I stare at the mansion at the back of the cemetery.
'I will not let it go to waste.'
If Avos Dilhevia is left alone, warfare will once again break out in Dilheid. If that happens, many will lose their lives.
We can't let that happen again.
Come on. Let's go.
<Using the magic of , I hid my appearance and magic power and walked with Misha to the cemetery hall.
The door was covered with a locked ward (Digits).
Hmm. I see. <It's a mechanism that allows the intrusion to be detected if the door is unlocked with a "unlock di" or other means.
The simplicity and weakness of the magic effects that are linked together make it hard to notice.
But thanks to the words on the wall, it was easy to spot them.
As per the advice, I use the Rotting Death (Igurum) spell on the door.
With a click, the door is unlocked.
I put my hand on the door and slowly open it.
The inside is dimly lit. Like the outside, the interior looks quite old.
The furnishings were covered in dust, and many of the items were scratched.
Going deeper into the room, there is a stone staircase that leads to the basement.
There is nothing else, and we go down the stairs.
There was a lamp attached to the stone wall, which dimly illuminated the area.
Shibaiba-ka-ka," he said, laughing.
'-I'm afraid of that one. It only took a second. Hey, Zeke,
It's a pleasant man's voice.
If you go a little further, the headless demon race, the Cutthroat King Erdmead, was there.
''Even though he's wounded, he's the right hand of the Demon King Anos, as expected of him, to cut down a god so easily. The gods are no match for you, not the Demon King, but his men!
Even though he doesn't have a mouth, Eldmead is speaking with an unusually high level of intensity and passion from where his voice is coming from.
The man beside him, who is countering it, is a man with brown skin and gold eyes, his hair pulled back all the way. ''You met him once in two thousand years. You are the Cutthroat King's chief of staff, Zeke.
''Then how strong is Demon King Anos? No matter how powerful the enemy is, I still don't know what his depths are! No. Is there a bottom? Totally awesome! What do you think is so great about it, huh, Zeke?
I don't know. So, Lord. What do you plan to do next?
Zeke replied appropriately and asked that question.
'The Heavenly Father is still in Ahartheln.
Wouldn't it take longer to recover without your body?
That's right. That god is dying. But you said it was all planned. And that my going to see the Demon Lord's right hand was just as planned.
Zeke raises his eyebrows and ponders.
'The bottom line is that the alliance is still going on.
The Dark Lord is right, gods are a mysterious race. Wouldn't it be better if we didn't get too deep into their affairs?
"Kaka, that's why it's good to be mysterious. The bottomless minnow can't be an enemy of Demon King Anos, hmm? Why don't we leave the role of being beaten up to the Scarlet Monument King?
After looking at him as if he wanted to say something for a moment, Zeke spoke up.
''Ha.''
''But even the order that gives birth to order, the Heavenly Father God Knowthalia, is inferior to the Demon King as an enemy. Because he underestimates the Demon King of Tyranny as insignificant. Do you think that an opponent who underestimates his enemies can win the battle?
That's right, he won't win. He won't win. The Demon King of Tyranny always exceeds our imagination. As soon as we fall into the cliché of thinking that we can win by doing this or that, we've already lost. This Cutthroat King is different. I know that the Demon King will always win!
High-pitched Erdmeade raises his voice.
As if to praise me.
''Even so, it's too good to just disappear. As long as we can put aside our pride and realize that we are the enemy of the Demon King, the power of God is immense.''
In the middle of Eldmead's emphatic speech, Zeke interrupts with a word.
'There is talk of God being order itself. Isn't that what binds Nausgaria?
If that's the case, why don't you take over as the one who controls that order?
Zeke gives him a quizzical look.
'How?'
''It's obvious. This Cutthroat King will obtain the Heavenly Father's power. I'm also preparing a magic formula for that purpose.
"...something like that?
'Cuckoo,' laughed Erdmeade, laughing away.
'Of course not! You're the only one who can get away with it. Magic development is not my field. But the tyrannical demon king can easily complete the magic formula he's studied all the way through, can't he?
A hint of exhaustion comes over Zeke's face.
Wherever you talk, you're going to end up talking about me.
No, no, I'm not tired of this, Zeke. "The Demon King of Tyranny" is not a reference to Anos.
'A son of God and a great spirit. It is the plan of Nausgaria to give birth to Avos Dilhevia, the demon king of tyranny.
As if in a huff, Zeke's expression turned grim.
'You want to take advantage of the brave canon's plan?'
"...So you're saying that you're going to take over Nowsgaria with the help of Avos Dilhevia, who was born in Nowsgaria's plans?
'It depends. You have to make a choice to have the most enemies of Demon King Anos. That bothers me more than anything else.
Cackle, Erdmead laughs.
''Perhaps it's time for the heroes to make contact with the Mother Great Spirit and the Demon King's right arm. How will the three of them decide what to do now that there is no Demon King? Kaka, it's quite a sight to see.


"'Smile' became a reality because I shared with my son who I am, not that people didn't know. I was just someone they didn't talk about but they loved me anyway. But, to me, this was the first time that I spoke to anyone about who I really am. My son cried and said, 'It must've been horrible, to live that way for so long.' My life wasn't horrible. I chose to protect my family from ignorance. I was happy, but I was not free. Then, one day, I met someone that made my heart sing, that made me no longer want to sneak a peek at them, but actually look at them with loving eyes.

It doesn't rеmоvе dіrt аnd grіt from the rug'ѕ bоttоmmоѕt fіbеrѕ and іt lеаvеѕ the rugs mоіѕt, encouraging mildew.
Factory cleaning, оn the оthеr hand, poses neither оf these рrоblеmѕ.
Fіrѕt, thе саrреt ѕеrvісе аrrіvеѕ at уоur residence to trаnѕроrt уоur rug tо іtѕ facility.
Onсе at the facility, уоur саrреt is thоrоughlу іnѕресtеd fоr stains, ѕоіlеd areas, and аnу damage thаt mау nееd rераіr. If present, thеѕе regions are рhоtоgrарhеd fоr cleaning/repair purposes.

Rugѕ іn a rооm act аѕ thе jewelry tо our оutfіt, аѕ without іt, thе rооm wоuldn't bе complete. Thе design wе аrе after саn rеѕоnаtе thrоugh ѕо much bеttеr bу thе uѕе of a beautiful area rug. With thаt, уоu wоuld lоvе tо see the nеwеѕt rug dеѕіgnѕ аnd whаt new trеndѕ аrе taking сеntеr ѕtаgе.
Selecting a rug wіth a lооk thаt уоu dеѕіrе іѕ оnlу thе fіrѕt ѕtер іn сhооѕіng a rug. Yоu hаvе tо select the rіght size fоr уоur іndіvіduаl dеѕіgn ѕрасе. Dіd you knоw thаt a lаrgеr rug саn асtuаllу mаkе уоur room appear bіggеr? It'ѕ always іmроrtаnt tо remember tо lеаvе 18 inches frоm thе еdgе of the rug to the wall.
In living rооmѕ, уоu typically ѕее thrее sizes: 5×8, 8×10, оr 9×12. The best rulе of thumb bеfоrе ѕеlесtіng a rug аnd ѕіzе is fіgurіng out the furnіturе placement you would lіkе in your ѕрасе. Frоm there, уоu саn determine whаt size of rug you would lіkе. There аrе gеnеrаllу thrее wауѕ to uѕе a rug in уоur fаmіlу rооm оr lіvіng room dеѕіgn.
Thе fіrѕt wау tо use a rug іѕ bу putting a rug under уоur coffee tаblе. Yоu tурісаllу wаnt tо pick a large fun rug that makes a bоldеr dеѕіgn ѕtаtеmеnt, аѕ іt соuld tеnd tо rеаd рrеttу bоrіng wіth a ѕmаllеr ѕіzе.
Thе second wау іѕ to uѕе a rug size thаt аllоwѕ you tо put thе frоnt lеgѕ оf уоur furnіturе on thе rug along wіth the соffее tаblе.
Lastly, the third, mоѕt favorite wау of using rugs by designers іn a family оr living ѕрасе іѕ bу having аll legs оf аll уоur furniture on thе entire rug. Thіѕ mаkеѕ the ѕрасе fееl mоrе рullеd together, but аll ѕрасеѕ аrе dіffеrеnt, аnd dереndіng оn thе layout, it might nоt be feasible tо uѕе a rug thаt ассоmрlіѕhеѕ it. Always remember thоugh tо аllоw 18 inches space from the rug tо the wаll.
Dесіdіng on a rug for a dіnіng ѕрасе is a little mоrе straightforward аѕ you want tо make ѕurе аll four lеgѕ of the сhаіr аrе still оn the rug when pulled out. The best rulе оf thumb іѕ tо mаkе sure thеrе is at lеаѕt 24 inches frоm thе edge of the tаblе to thе end оf thе rug. It will allow уоu tо easily maneuver thе сhаіrѕ around whіlе using thеm.
Fоr a bеdrооm ѕрасе, thеrе аrе gеnеrаllу twо dіffеrеnt аррrоасhеѕ.
Rugs can be рlасеd аt thе foot оf the bed tо аdd a раttеrn or ѕоmе соlоr tо a space. It іѕ typically dоnе with 5×8ѕ оr smaller.
Thе other uѕе оf a rug іn a bedroom is tо place a rug horizontally аррrоxіmаtеlу hаlfwау undеr thе bed аnd hаvе it соmе out frоm thе fооt of the bеd. Yоu generally wаnt thе lаrgеr роrtіоn coming оut frоm thе end оf the bed.
If you are doing an interior décor to your home, you may want to add some rugs to complete it. Rugs are relatively cheap to obtain, but their effect can be tremendous. They distinguish rooms in an open floor plan and make a dull room lively. If you have an expensive wooden floor, rugs are an added advantage as they will protect it from the regular wear and tear.
The kind of lifestyle that you lead has a lot to do with the type of rug that you choose. If you are the type of person who is always busy at work with no time to clean up your rugs, it is advisable that you select colored rugs with patterns. Patterns usually hide dirt from showing.
If you have pets and children, do not pick out the delicate rugs. Choose the tough ones, which will not wear out quickly. If the theme of your house is traditional with traditional furniture, then you should choose the type of rugs that will compliment your theme. Contemporary rugs are not for you.
Do not buy an area rug that covers the floor entirely. The are some rug rules to follow when arranging rugs in the home. You should leave some spaces on the borders of the rug. Even though you wish to cover a large area, leave at least 9-12 inches of equal space around the margins of the rug.
To prevent the rug from moving, you should use a non-slip rug pad under the rug. It will not only hold the rug firm but also avoid accidents from slipping and falling caused by rug movements.
No matter what is the shape of your room, you will always find a rug that suits the room. Rugs come in many shapes such as rectangles, squares, and even ovals. If the place is long and narrow, consider a rectangular rug. The furniture in the room also determines what shape of a rug to use. If the furniture has soft curving edges, you can use circular or oval rugs. Be more creative when it comes to choosing the shapes. You do not have to stick to the traditional triangular shapes. Be open-minded and try out other shapes like the star shape.
The rug should not be so big such that it covers the entire floor. It should leave some space from the corners of the room. If the rug is to be placed under the coffee table, it should not be too small that it disappears under the table. The best size is the one where even the front legs of the sofa in the living room touch the rug.
It is the best way to show people your adventurous side. Choose bold and colorful floral designs if you want the rug to be the focal point in the room. However, if there are other patterns on the wall or the seats, choose a muted pattern that will not bring competition as it will make the décor to look awkward.
Once you have considered all the factors above, you will definitely choose the perfect rug to make your decor look amazing.

"Smoking and the breast cancer risk gene BRCA2 combine to 'enormously' increase the chance of developing lung cancer," BBC News reports.
The BRCA2 gene, which is known to increase breast cancer risk, appears to also up the risk of lung cancer in smokers.
A new study analysed the genetic make-up of more than 10,000 people with lung cancer to identify genetic and lifestyle risk factors for the disease.
One of the genetic variants they identified was linked to the BRCA2 gene and increased a person's risk of having lung cancer – specifically, squamous cell carcinoma – by 2.47 times.
This may have important implications for identifying who should undergo lung cancer screening, especially those considered to be high risk.
But cancer involves the accumulation of genetic damage in many gene regions rather than just one, so identifying these single genetic risks is not the full picture.
In addition to genetic risks, which you can't change, there are lifestyle risk factors, the biggest of which is smoking.
If you smoke, you are significantly increasing your risk of developing lung cancer later in life. And it seems that if you also have the BRCA2 gene variant, the risks may be even greater.
The results of this study reinforce the dangers of smoking and how stopping smoking is probably the best way to improve your health.
The study was carried out by a large collaboration of researchers from around the world, and was funded by the US National Institutes of Health and numerous other cancer research-funding bodies and institutions.
It was published in the peer-reviewed science journal, Nature Genetics.
BBC News reported the story accurately, emphasising that not smoking is the best way to reduce your risk of developing lung cancer (as well as many other cancers).
This was a cross-sectional study looking for genetic traits that may raise the risk of developing lung cancer.
Lung cancer, the researchers state, causes more than one million deaths worldwide each year and is mainly caused by tobacco smoking.
But some studies have indicated there is an underlying genetic component to the risk of developing the life-threatening condition.
This study sought to better understand this link by comparing the genetics of people with and without the disease.
This type of study is a useful first step in identifying potential links between genes and disease, but it cannot prove that a certain gene causes a disease. More biological studies are needed to prove the underlying mechanism by which a gene causes or contributes to disease.
The research compared large groups of people with lung cancer and those without the disease to see how their underlying genetic variation differed. They also wanted to see whether these differences might be related to the risk of getting the disease.
The main analysis compared the genetics of 11,348 people with lung cancer with 15,861 people without. Any differences identified in this group were then validated in a comparison of a further 10,246 people with lung cancer and 38,295 without. In total, 75,750 people fed into the analysis.
Participants were of European ancestry. The two main types of lung cancer (adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma) were included.
The comparisons identified three gene variants associated with lung cancer.
BRCA2 – this leads to a more than doubling of the relative risk for squamous cell carcinoma (odds ratio [OR] 2.47, 95% confidence interval [CI] not reported) and a 47% increase for adenocarcinoma (OR 1.47, 95% CI not reported). This gene is involved in repairing DNA and is known to significantly increase the risk of breast cancer when it does not function correctly.
CHEK2 – leading to around a 62% reduction in relative risk (OR 0.38, 95% CI not reported). The CHEK2 gene controls elements of how a cell self-destructs or stops growing when DNA gets damaged.
The researchers indicated that the risk of developing lung cancer is approximately doubled for a smoker carrying the BRCA2 variant, which is 2% of the population. This may have implications for identifying high-risk smokers for lung cancer screening.
The study authors stated that, "These findings provide further evidence for inherited genetic susceptibility to lung cancer and its biological basis.
"Additionally, our analysis demonstrates that imputation can identify rare disease-causing variants with substantive effects on cancer risk from pre-existing genome-wide association study data."
This study identified new genetic variants linked to the risk of lung cancer in European adults. One of the variations was linked to the BRCA2 gene, which is already known to be associated with a higher risk of developing breast cancer.
The study provided some new evidence of the potential genetic origin of lung cancer, but provided no proof that the genetic variants caused the cancer. However, each of the genetic variants had a plausible biological link to the way in which it might cause cancer.
But cancer often involves the accumulation of genetic damage in many gene regions rather than just one, so identifying these single genetic risks is not the full picture.
In addition to genetic risks, which you can't change, there are lifestyle risk factors that influence risk, the biggest of which is smoking. If you smoke, you are significantly increasing your risk of developing lung cancer later in life.
It appears that if you also have the BRCA2 gene variant, the risks may be even higher. The study estimated that around 2% of the population are smokers who also carry the BRCA2 variation, but it was unclear how the researchers arrived at this estimate or if this would be similar in the UK population.
The study's results would be improved by analysing genetic variation in more diverse populations, as the people in this study were described as mainly of European descent.
Professor Peter Johnson, Cancer Research UK's chief clinician, explained to the BBC that, "We've known for two decades that inherited mutations in BRCA2 made people more likely to develop breast and ovarian cancer, but these new findings show a greater risk of lung cancer too, especially for people who smoke."
As Professor Johnson rightly concludes, "The single most effective way to reduce the risk of lung cancer is to be a non-smoker."

PSP donates $4000 to hockey team involved in a fatal crash.
When the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team was involved in a fatal bus crash in Saskatchewan, Canada, in April, Canadians and hockey fans worldwide pulled together to help the families affected by the tragedy. Minuteman Press Edmonton Ellerslie opted to contribute by hosting a fundraiser selling T-shirts, pins, ribbons, and car decals at a local university.
"We raised over $4000 for those families, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to them. To be able to do our small part to help them meant a lot to us," says Carmen Hofer, co-owner, in a release.


The present study was designed to determine the relation between attitudes to death and perceptions of spiritual care in nursing students. It is a descriptive study and included 290 fourth-year nursing students (intern students). Data were collected with a descriptive characteristics form, Frommelt Attitude Towards Care of the Dying Instrument and Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale. SPSS version 21 was used for data analysis. There was a significant positive relation between the mean scores for Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale and Frommelt Attitude Towards Care of the Dying Instrument. It can be recommended that courses about death and spiritual care should be offered and integrated into nursing curricula.
The author received no financial support for the research and would like to thank all the students participating in the study.
