Meaning of "it don't matter"?
When I watched a movie in English, I heard a man say "it don't matter".
What does it don't matter mean?
Does it sound similar to it doesn't matter?
conjugations

Yes, what you are thinking is right: "it don't matter" means the same thing as "it doesn't matter". You'll often find that many native English speakers might use phrases similar to "it don't matter" in informal speech, and it is currently considered to be non-standard English. – F.E. Nov 23 '14 at 7:38
"It don't matter" and "it doesn't matter" are semantically equivalent.
"It don't matter" goes against prescriptive grammar, but it is an extremely common usage in casual registers and various dialects.
You might choose this phrase to intentionally indicate a casual view of something, either sincerely or sarcastically. It probably gets a lot of use because people saying it are trying to communicate that something doesn't matter, and that's best done in a way that demonstrates lack of interest (in rules).

It's just vernacular. Best not to overthink it. Just imagine he's a fellow English learner.
Other examples include "ain't," "let me axe you a question," and "bitnezz (business)."

The wording is probably not because he's a "learner"; the wording is probably because he's grown up in an environment where grammar was not stressed. I think there's a difference. Moreover, two of your three other examples are pronunciation variants, not grammatical variants. That all said, I do agree that "ain't" is similar in use: grammatically incorrect, yet still spoken in some subcultures. – J.R.♦ Nov 22 '14 at 10:11
@J.R. Ain't is non-standard, but this isn't a matter of grammar. In fact, it has its own grammatical rules and is usually used grammatically in non-standard Englishes. The following is grammatical but non-standard: !She ain't so bright. And the following is ungrammatical: *I try to ain't sleep this early. (Here, the ! marks an utterance as non-standard, while the * marks ungrammaticality.) – snailboat♦ Nov 22 '14 at 22:15
Goodness, some of the people in this website are so uptight. The part about him being a learner was obviously a joke. – Crazy Eyes Nov 24 '14 at 15:47
"It don't matter" is not English but a part of an English dialect or creole. I would imagine that this comes from an American dialect of some sort, as it was regarded as someone speaking "English". Or, perhaps - as suggested the person is learning English which internationally tends to be taught through the "American" dialect of English and not "British" English.
I would avoid the use of "It don't matter" and stick to "It doesn't matter" - using "It don't matter" does matter, to many it makes you appear ignorant of how to speak correctly.
People seem to have a misunderstanding about dialects and Languages. A dialect IS NOT a language. It makes USE of a language which in itself does NOT make them comparable nor equal. "It don't matter" is a phrase which contains English Language words. But is not an English Language phrase. It is however, accepted as a dialectal phrase; but that does NOT make it English.

What do double negatives have to do with it? – Russell Borogove Nov 22 '14 at 17:48
@DaveGordon - Might I suggest that you take a look at Huddleston and Pullam? – Stan Rogers Nov 23 '14 at 4:55
All utterances belong to one dialect or another. Your answer and comments are no exception. The phrase in question here is properly labeled non-standard English, which is a very different thing from "not an English Language phrase." The concept you're looking for is that of standard English. – snailboat♦ Nov 23 '14 at 5:05
It's just basic linguistics. For an introduction, I suggest David Crystal's Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language. Once you're familiar with the concept of a dialect you can come back and revise this answer. – snailboat♦ Nov 23 '14 at 5:14
There is, to put it bluntly, no such thing as a "language"; there are merely bundles of dialects, and that is probably more true of English than most "languages". And "Huddleston and Pullum" is The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, which is not the only descriptive grammar of English, but the most scholarly and comprehensive (you asserted that there was no descriptive grammar). – Stan Rogers Nov 26 '14 at 22:13

As you may have gathered, we love vegan pizza here at Sideways Cottage. As such, I'm always looking for ways to up my pizza game. My latest obsession is trying to find a crust that's both healthy AND actually edible. The whole-wheat version is healthy, but tastes like cardboard; the white version is delicious….but not so healthy.
Anyway, I've been using sprouted spelt flour in my sweet potato tortillas and pancakes, so I figured I'd give it a try with my pizza crusts. Plus, Costco now carries 4 Kg. bags of the stuff at a very reasonable price!
The crusts were perfect and received the Jamie seal of approval. And, believe me, that man is fussy about his pizza crust!
Mix in a stand mixer until the dough forms a ball around the dough hook. You may need to add up a bit more flour or a bit more water to achieve ball-around-the-dough-hook perfection. Let the dough rise for an hour or so in a covered bowl. Divide dough into two equal balls and roll out on parchment paper. Let the dough rest for five minutes after you've rolled it out and then roll it out a bit further.
Do not pre-bake! Just dress it and bake for 15 – 20 minutes at 500 degrees.
Halfway through the baking time, turn the pizza and pull out the parchment paper, so the dough is directly on the pizza stone–THIS WILL MAKE YOUR CRUST SO DAMN CRISPY AND DELICIOUS!!!
The other new thing we tried with the pizza was vegan pepperoni and vegan sausage from The Very Good Butcher, a plant-butchery that started on our very own Denman Island, but has now moved to Victoria. We've been dying to try their products, and our imaginary friends–Frances and Chazz–brought us a selection of their vegan meats and cheeses when they visited last weekend.
So I loaded up each pizza….
And, of course, I added olives, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and a bunch of my shreddable vegan mozzarella and a sprinkling of my chewy vegan parmesan and baked up those beautiful pies!
And, indeed, they were delicious!
Good thing I have a recipe for shreddable, meltable vegan cheddar!

Q: Bind default implementation in case of multiple implementation in Guice I have class hierarchy as follows:
interface Pen{}

class SimplePen implements Pen{}

class ComplexPen implements Pen{}

Code using this is as follows
class A{
  public A(Pen pen){}
}

class B{
  public B(ComplexPen pen){}
}

So what i want to do is, by default Pen should be bound to SimplePen and  ComplexPen should be bound only when asked explicitly as in case of class B.
bind(Pen.class).to(SimplePen.class).in(Singleton.class)
bind(ComplexPen.class)

The above Guice config fails at runtime saying implementation of Pen already bound. How do i go about this?
Note am trying to avoid .annotatedWith(Names.named("complexPen"))

A: My bad, the code i gave works. I had some extra code which was creating more bindings.
bind(Pen.class).to(SimplePen.class).in(Singleton.class)
bind(ComplexPen.class)

Q: Sink does not release file I know that the sink() function can be used to divert R output into a file, e.g.
sink('sink-closing.txt')
cat('Hello world!')
sink()

Is there a simple command to close all outstanding sinks?
Below, I elaborate on my question.
Suppose that my R-script opens a sink() in an R-script, but there is an error in the R-script which occurs before the script closes the sink(). I may run the R-script multiple times, trying to fix the error. Finally, I want to close all the sinks and print to the console. How do I do so?
Finally, in the interest of concreteness, I provide a MWE to illustrate the problem I face.
First, I write an R-script sink-closing.R which has an error in it.
sink('sink-closing.txt')

foo <- function() {
  cat(sprintf('Hello world! My name is %s\n',
              a.variable.that.does.not.exist))
}

foo()

sink()

Next, I source the R-script multiple times, say 3 times by mistake as I try to find and fix the bug.
> source('~/Dropbox/cookbook/r-cookbook/sink-closing.R')
Error in sprintf("Hello world! My name is %s\n", a.variable.that.does.not.exist) :
  object 'a.variable.that.does.not.exist' not found

Now, suppose that I am debugging the R-script and want to print to the console. I can call sink() multiple times to close the earlier sinks. If I call it 3 times, then I can finally print to the console as before. But how do I know how many sinks I need to close?

A: Based on @mnel's comment:
sinkall <- function() {
  i <- sink.number()
  while (i > 0) {
    sink()
    i <- i - 1
  }
}

Should close all open sinks.
You may also encounter this problem when dealing with devices and plots, where the number of open devices isn't reported anywhere. For a more general case you could use this:
stopWhenError <- function(FUN) {
  tryCatch({
    while(TRUE) {
      FUN()
    }
  }, warning = function(w) {
    print("All finished!")
  }, error = function(e) {
    print("All finished!")
  })
}

stopWhenError(sink) # for sink.
stopWhenError(dev.off) # close all open plotting devices.

EDIT:
sink throws a warning not an error so I've modified the code so that it won't run forever, whoops!

A: closeAllConnections()   # .........................

I'm getting upvotes for this as time goes along but Simon.S.A and others are better.

A: You can use sink.number() to tell you how many diversions are already set and then call sink that many times.  Putting it into a function you could have this
sink.reset <- function(){
    for(i in seq_len(sink.number())){
        sink(NULL)
    }
}

A: The most common time I experience this is when an error occurs preventing a sink from closing. For example, the following will leave an open sink after execution.
sink("output.txt")
my_function_that_will_error()
sink()

This can be avoided using on.exit(sink()). This will close the sink "when the current function exits (either naturally or as the result of an error)" (documentation here).
But you do have to change the order:
sink("output.txt")
on.exit(sink())
my_function_that_might_error()

So we create the sink, tell R to close it when it exits, and then execute the code that might error. This will close the sink regardless of whether the code errors or not.


This morning Hannah cuddled up with me in the bed in the hotel room and slept soundly for almost two hours. I sure do love it. She had woken up at 7:30 - about an hour before she usually does - when Joe was getting ready for class. Last night was not the best. She went to bed at a decent time, just to wake an hour and a half later crying inconsolably. We tried nearly everything. Finally I scooped her up and headed outside and walked around the campus for a little while. She was asleep again around 11:30. Poor thing just doesn't do great in hotel rooms. Not sure if it's the room itself, that we are in it too and the activity throws her off, or if it's the pack-n-play. It's fine. Two more nights before we are home, James. How lovely that will be.
So, here we are in Kentucky. It's been an eventful week. This time last week, Hannah and I were headed to Savannah. We went out to dinner to celebrate Sarah's (Joe's sister) new job as assistant principal of her school in Atlanta. We are so excited for her! Friday morning we drove with Mama up to Banner Elk, North Carolina for the Jeffcoat-Gnann Family Reunion #66. Joe drove over from Kentucky (not a short drive) to partake in the madness that is my family reunion. Saturday morning we had breakfast outside at a little cafe and got to watch the Tour (Joe hadn't gotten to watch all week). The weather was gorgeous. We spent lots of time in and around the pool, playing games, and catching up with everyone, most of whom we hadn't seen in a year. It was a great weekend and I think Hannah thoroughly enjoyed herself. One of my favorite memories will be her sudden bizarre behavior as we started taking family pictures. She flapped her arms uncontrollably and yelled at the top of her lungs...in almost every shot. Priceless. She will be picked on forever for that I have a feeling... It was fun introducing her to the family!
About to go under. Wooooo!
Playing in the grass with my bigger cousins.
They even gave me yummy things to eat!
Family pictures. Time for me to ham it up!
Mommy's generation: a crazy bunch.
Sunday we went to Grace Lutheran Church in Boone, the church my family started and built. It was very neat to see the history behind it all. We then headed to Georgetown, Kentucky to my sweet friend Beth's house. We spent one night with her (and husband, Phillip) there and then relocated to Wilmore, where Asbury (seminary) is. So here we are, Thursday. Joe is almost done with these two courses. After completing the post-class work, it'll be time for him to begin his dissertation! He has put so much dedication, heart and soul into his work and this program. I am so proud of him.
We went running at the Kentucky Arboretum.
So...we are not in Kentucky right now. As I have learned since having a baby, plans can change at the last minute. You have to cancel dinner plans with friends because the baby is just too fussy. You show up at church real late because one thing after another sets you back on that particular Sunday morning. You have to leave the photographer's studio because your baby is just not "cooperating." And on it goes.
Switching gears to a happier subject, how about I write about our trip to Fernandina last week? We were fortunate enough to be invited our friends, Anna and Wade, to come down to their place at the beach. It was two days, Sunday to Tuesday, but it was wonderful. Joe and I both love the beach, and it was as relaxing as being on vacation with a 10-month old can be. Anna and Wade's two girls, Erin and Kristen, are awesome. They loved Hannah, and Hannah loved them. And Joe and I loved that they were so sweet to take care of her on a few occasions to let us have some grown-up time with our friends. We had a great time and are so thankful to them for the invite.
I was itching to walk down to the beach as soon as we got there. The sky was overcast and everything was a shade of gray. There is something just amazing and powerful about the beach when the weather's like this.
Daddy wants to play too.
I thought it would be a good idea to take some pictures of Hannah in the pretty sand dunes. As you can see, it didn't go so well... Look at that pout!
Anna wanted to try with me holding her. This is the best we got.
We are leaving tomorrow on our journey to Kentucky. Joe will be there for two weeks at seminary. Hannah and I are going for the first week. We'll get to visit my dear friend, Beth, and play around Lexington and the small town where Asbury is (Wilmore). Tomorrow morning we take Chloe and Mollie to the kennel for 10 whole days. :( We'll make two overnight stops on our way - Savannah and Atlanta. In Atlanta we'll finally get to meet Leah Rose, Daniel and Jennifer's sweet baby girl born in May. It is horrible that I haven't met this child sooner, but a planned meeting in June was canceled when Leah wasn't feeling well and her mommy was completely exhausted. And I, having a small child myself, understand. Still, we cannot wait - pictures to come!
So before we leave, here are some pictures from the last week.
Grandma came down and played...I love this picture.


We are buffalo chicken fanatics in this house.
We have buffalo sauce on pizza, baked potatoes, chicken tenders, mac and cheese, chicken casserole, fries, basically anything. Which is why if I am feeling uninspired for our dinner menu I know anything with that flavor combo is going to be a big hit. This was no exception.
I kind of used the flavors from buffalo chicken dip and just wrapped it up in corn tortillas and baked. How simple is that? And because I just threw the chicken in the crock pot before I went to work I didn't even actually have to cook.
Just shred, mix, roll, bake, eat. My kind of dinner.
This also makes a ton, I actually made half this amount because there is only two of us and if I would have made the full recipe Mr. Maebell would have felt obligated to eat all of them. Every single one.
This is a great one to keep handy because it makes a quick dinner, or a great lunch with things you probably already have on hand. Serve with a great big salad and you have a crowd pleasing dinner!
Cook your chicken, I just put the chicken breast in my smallest crock pot with about a cup of chicken broth cooked on low for 8 hours. Then I shredded them using my stand mixer when I got home. You can also bake it if you prefer.
Mix shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, cheese, and buffalo sauce until well combined.
Go ahead and spray two cookie sheets with cooking spray and set aside.
Work with about 6 corn tortillas at a time, put them in a clean dish towel, microwave for about 45 seconds, you want them to be pipping hot so they will not crumble when you roll them.
Add a tablespoon or two to one side of the tortilla and roll, lay seam side down on the cookie sheet. Repeat this until all your filling is gone.
When your cookie sheet is full of taquitos lightly sprayed the top with cooking spray just to help them brown a bit.
Bake about 20 minutes, serve with ranch, enjoy!
I made half this recipe and filled mine pretty darn full at it made 14 big taquitos.


Thanks for the feedback, Sam.
What I am questioning is the sustainability of newsprint and you're right, that's considering the channel on a more mass global scale. But I do agree that there will always be a place for the crafted periodical or book which offers a tactile experience.
Now, to check out 'Fire & Knives'… Cheers!
I think I'd question the idea that print is unsustainable. Whilst mainstream print media is in decline small publications that combine a digital and material approach are growing. Publications like Monocle, Delayed Gratification, and Fire & Knives are becoming successful based on the innovative way they approach the print medium. With books also whilst ebooks are obviously a huge success the design of books, and the model of limited edition more expensive publishing for niche audiences and enthusiasts has found success.
Your article is great, and for the mainstream totally true. What both my examples and yours speak to is the value of an approach to content creation that integrates multiple channels.

Health & Wellness Well Within Reach: Wellness Challenge Kicks Off at Missouri's Seven National Park Service Sites
ST. LOUIS, MO (April 11, 2022)—The National Park Service (NPS) has introduced a new way to experience Missouri's beloved treasures – our national parks – with the National Park Service Wellness Challenge. The NPS Wellness Challenge promotes the unique health resources that are found in national park sites across the country, and asks visitors to participate in physical, mental and learning wellness activities unique to each park.

Not good at all, really struggled to get through this one. It's divided into two parts and the first one is just an average classic detective mystery and second one is truly terrible.
It starts with Holmes receiving a ciphered message announcing some terrible crime to be committed. He of course easily cracks this code (pretty obvious one in my opinion) and in no time at all it also turns out that dark force behind this "sinister affair" is – once more – none other than Sherlock's mortal enemy Dr. Moriarty.
And here is where I started to dislike the book already. Is there really a need to involve this criminal mastermind in every single crime Holmes investigates? I'm perfectly okay about him fucking with highly secret state affairs documents, blackmailing politicians, stealing priceless art works and so on. But come on! I find it hard to believe that in the meantime he can manage to find time and resources for every single petty crime. But I'm a bit ahead of myself here because at this point in the book we still don't know that our crime is/will indeed be petty (spoiler - it is). Another thing about this Moriarty business is that he is simply introduced too early in the story. At this point there's absolutely no need for some ominous background, anonymous tip would do just fine. Smart writer would probably use him to increase suspense later in the book.
So now crime has been committed and Holmes with Dr. Watson and cop (sorry, it's of course inspector/constable) named MacDonald (nope, no Lestrade in this one) rushes to – surprise, surprise- English countryside to an old house (ups sorry – it's actually called mansion). Here they find murdered man's best friend, his wife and – another surprise, you won't believe this – fucking butler! And beside these people, there's just one more character - some mysterious and of course sinister stranger who has arrived to near village hotel just shortly before the crime and disappeared afterwards. So Holmes has really hard job on his hands, right?
And we follow his unusual methods, witty observations, arrogance and so on to the final shocking conclusion. But it's hardly some big twist since dead guy's face was blown off by the shotgun and you can smell change of identity trick right from the start.
In all honesty, it's not as bad as it sounds. It is good old fashioned Sherlock Holmes mystery, maybe a bit predictable, but still quite enjoyable although sometimes hard to follow for non native English speaker because of all that crappy archaic language.
Second part is totally redundant and I have no idea about why it was ever written. It has next to nothing to do with the first one and it gives impression that Mr. Doyle was getting paid by the number of pages. So do yourself a favor and close this book after the first part. You'll save some time and keep respect for the old master and his famous detective.
one in the first part, many in second
Dames: You kidding?
By Glen Orbik. I liked the colors, but girl's facial expression could be more terrified.
First part starts in London and quickly moves to English countryside, second part takes place in some god forsaken mining town in the States.

S'funny really, but Moriarty appeared for the first time in "The Final Problem", was referenced (of necessity) in "The Empty House" and then turns up in this later novel which is set, chronologically, earlier than the other stories.
The character was invented to kill Homes, acknowledged when Holmes was resurrected and retconned once.
Blame the movies and the Holmes pastiches for his appearing ubiquitous.
It's good and interesting but the picture that you have put on this is inappropriate

If you've ever wanted a secret compartment book for your study, making your own is actually pretty easy.
Photo by haven't the slightest.
To make your own secret compartment book, Hannah Margaret Allen at Food52 recommends you get a thick, old book you're willing to carve into, a box cutter or Stanley knife and some Mod Podge glue. Open up the book so you're about 1/8 through the pages, use a rule to trace where the compartment will be, then carefully cut into the pages with your blade.
You'll probably only be able to cut through a few pages at a time, so take your time and be cautious. After you've removed enough pages, cover the open page and compartment with Mod Podge to keep it all stuck together. Close the book with some was paper inside like a bookmark and rest something heavy on the book overnight.
If you can't find a thick enough book, you can make something similar using multiple books.

I had forgotten that the wind could tie your hair in knots. Actual salty knots, the stubborn kind that take full half-hours to untangle with a finger-rake.
It had been so long since I felt that dexterity, that willfulness, that slapping, enlivening meanness. I didn't remember water like this, either: calm, then rugged, ever-changing, thick and vast and green as sea glass. Water was never my element, but it is becoming so.
I had wanted this trip, had planned it for myself and my husband on the last weekend I, in my fluid state, would be allowed to travel. A feminine soul requires wild release: Rhode Island, I thought. With my own storm brewing, my mind on mine and my daughter's journey, I needed that edge of rock and cliff, needed to walk at the place where earth meets wind meets water. I craved salt and wanted to sit in the spray, to bask in the sort of fog that obscures too-knowingness. To feel what force beckons the ocean to shore; to be utterly, udderly elemental.
We booked a room in Providence then set sail on the morning's first ferry across Narragansett Bay. An hour later, in Newport, we set out to trek that colonial town's improbable public promenade known as the Cliff Walk: four miles of paths and trails along the shore, winding through the backyards of Gilded Era millionaire mansions.
It was hard not to look inland, not to admire the shining marble "cottages" of Vanderbilts and Astors. But what we'd come for was the sea. Strange, I thought, to walk such a linear, directed path beside the cyclical, uncontainable ocean: civility, human rules and constructions to the left and willful, natural wildness to the right. Most lives tread a similar balance. Mine tilts seaward.
Pavement yielded, at points, to bare rock dimpled with ephemeral pools like desert potholes.
Hairy vegetation, orange and green, clung to barrier islands lined with cormorants drying their wings.
Crossing a footbridge over a particular inlet, I was struck by a surprising recognition.
"It's my birth canal!" I yelled to my husband, who is by now unembarrassable. Stunned at my own metaphor, I closed my eyes, burned the image into back-brain and muscle memory. Where I'm going I will need the sound, taste and rhythm, the perfect inevitability of the sea. I will rely, equally, on the fragile solidity of cliff, the knowledge of earth, the rigidity of Eastern coastal slickrock. From me, one small bottle of earth will slide handily, or violently, into the salty, lifey brine. To usher such a delivery I must remain rooted yet responsive, anchored yet fluid, my mind and heart attached to the holy contradictions of biological place.
I needed this walk, this wind-whipped ride. I will cling to both, in times to come.
Face-whipped and fog-blinded on the ferry, I practiced a meditation that was designed to gather feminine strength. One by one, I "invited" my life's women onto the boat. I imagined their smiles, saw them standing and laughing in groups: aunts, cousins, sisters-in-law, mothers, artists and activists from grad school, fire mavens, rangers, girlfriends from all eras, teachers and guides, angel grandmas. My coven, glowing. Together, on the boat, in my mind, we held and beheld our fierce feminine wildness.
As women our gift is genesis. We are creatrices, those of us who are courageous enough to wade into wild waters and let them claim their piece. We hold back then succumb to the pull, knowing the tides will build and unbind us, leaving behind our greatest creations: our books, poems, gardens, systems, solutions, artworks, and children.
Whenever I need inspiration to write, I'll pull down a treasured book, flip to a random page, and read. Whenever I read one of your posts, I'm always inspired to write. Beautiful post, Hilary. I'm so glad you were able to get away on your last pre-baby weekend. Take care during your last month.
Thank you 🙂 when I read yours, I get more and more curious about the world.

Anonymous targets CISPA Supporters: Facebook, Microsoft, Intel, IBM, U.S. Telecom, TechAmerica
Anonymous is currently conducting a two-stage attack on businesses and advocacy groups supporting the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). Two technology trade associations said they were targeted by the hacker-activist group Anonymous as it singled out supporters of proposed legislation to improve U.S. cyber-security.
The hacker group Anonymous claimed responsibility for taking down the websites of USTelecom and Tech America, which both back the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011. Both sites remained unreachable as of Monday afternoon.
The attacks began yesterday when users were unable to log onto the sites. USTelecom represents telecom companies, including AT&T, Verizon, and CenturyLink; and TechAmerica's members include tech companies such as IBM, Microsoft, and Apple.
A Twitter account called @Anon_Central yesterday called the Rogers bill "draconian" and posted a link to groups and companies supporting the legislation.
Anonymous posted a YouTube video showing US Telecom's site down Sunday, and the site was down for about 24 hours, according to a USTelecom spokesman. Anonymous on Friday released a YouTube video threatening supporters of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, a bill focused on encouraging U.S. government agencies and private businesses to trade information about cyber-attacks.
The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011 (CISPA), sponsored by Reps. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), has recently caught the attention of online activists, who are comparing it to the now-shelved Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
Lawmakers say the goal of CISPA is to help companies beef up their defenses against hackers who steal business secrets, rob customer financial information and wreak havoc on computer systems.
The bill would tear down legal barriers that discourage companies from sharing information about cyberattacks. But privacy advocates warn the legislation could lead companies to share private user information with federal spy agencies. The House is expected to vote on the cybersecurity measure on the week of April 23.
Hacker group Anonymous also claimed to have taken down the CIA website for the second time in two months following a new DDoS attack on the U.S. secret service which lasted 45 minutes. Anonymous is reportedly on a DDoS rampage today, downing the CIA, Department of Justice, and two MI6 websites.
Members of the group claimed responsibility throughout Facebook and Twitter. Brazilian hacktivist Havittaja reportedly launched the initial offensive on the DoJ and CIA for "lulz" while other members jumped on board a short time later.
The technique also known as a DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack, is a concentrated effort by multiple individuals to make a network busy to its intended users. The end result is server overload. Anonymous makes a freeware tool available to its members to carry out these attacks, which it calls the Low Orbit Ion Cannon.
The collective targeted the department of justice in January as part of Operation Megaupload, in a retaliatory attack against the US government's decision to close the popular file-sharing site.
As the campaign against the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) heats up, it's important for the opposition movement to understand just how many companies directly or indirectly support the legislation (i.e. through a trade group).
Starting on Monday, a variety of organizations, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Democracy and Technology, The Constitution Project, Demand Progress, Engine Advocacy, Fight for the Future, Free Press, Reporters Without Borders, Techdirt, and TechFreedom plan to launch a "week of action" campaign against CISPA, a bill they believe remains dangerously broad in its language, which could result in abuse by the government, and damages to our civil liberties.
While many are comparing CISPA to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), the two bills are entirely different for a number of reasons.
First, CISPA is a cybersecurity bill that pertains to the sharing of information between the government and private companies. SOPA was an anti-piracy bill that sought to block access to "foreign rogue" websites that illegally distributed copyrighted material.
Second, SOPA was opposed by many of the technology and Internet industry's biggest players. CISPA, on the other hand, effectively has the support of hundreds of technology and Internet companies — a key difference that could drastically affect whether the anti-CISPA crowd can successfully block passage of the bill.
To give you a full picture of just how much political firepower the CISPA has in Congress, we've listed most, if not all, of the companies and organizations that have voiced either direct support for CISPA (by writing a letter, or otherwise expressing support for this specific bill), or indirect support through the direct support of a trade group.
The organizations or companies listed in bold have voiced direct support. Those companies not in bold have not necessarily given direct support (though quite a few have), but have supported the bill through the trade group, which is listed in bold.
The links go to the .pdf files of the letters the company sent to the House Intelligence Committee to express their support of CISPA. As you can see, the list of CISPA supporters is massive, and should give anyone who thinks this will be an easy political fight a dose of reality. Not that CISPA can't be stopped but, well, scroll down and you'll see what we mean.

Anti-Wall Street demonstrators in encampments around the country spent Thanksgiving serving turkey, donating time in solidarity with the protest movement and, in some cases, confronting police.
When officers ordered the driver to leave because he had no permit, police and about 150 protesters squared off, according to police spokeswoman Johnna Watson.
One person was arrested, Watson said.
"Why don't you arrest the drummers in the Thanksgiving parade?" a protester hollered.

Denver's Supernova Fest Brings The Drive-In Theater Experience To Downtown
By Corey H. Jones
(Corey H. Jones/CPR News)
Ivar Zeile directs the Supernova Outdoor Digital Animation Festival in Denver.
It's hard to miss and yet still easy to ignore the giant LED screens that hang over the streets around Denver's theater district. Their glossy glow usually flashes promotions soliciting your attention.
On Saturday you'll actually want to look up at some of those screens. That's because instead of ads they will broadcast art.
The second annual Supernova Outdoor Digital Animation Festival screens around 140 shorts from all over the world. Most of the action will happen on two screens: One at 14th and Champa streets and another temporary one in the galleria at the Denver Performing Arts Complex.
"I liken it to a drive-in movie theater right in the heart of downtown," Supernova director Ivar Zeile says. "There's so much traffic going through there, we really like the idea that the exposure comes to those that are not suspecting it to be there."
The festival includes music videos, abstract works and even a block of kid-friendly films. Artists range from New York City artist Jeremy Couillard to Argentina's Blirp Studio to Colorado's Kendra Fleischman.
From here, Zeile hopes one day his festival leads to a permanent LED screen dedicated solely to digital animation in the city.
"This is the future of public art, not just something that should be taken in at home," he says.

Just a casual observation: The book draws bizarre behavior from people when they pick it up to look at in a bookstore. I've noticed that tall women act like they are doing some sort of guilty pleasure--like the book was an x-rated movie they wanted to see but are shy about admitting it.
I guess the subject matter of height gets people's attention but no one really talks about it out in the open. People look guilty when they see that I notice what book they are reading. Who would have thought the title The Tall Book would have so much effect?
Now I can check write guilty pleasure off my to-do list.
As promised, some much-needed good news for tall women searching for clothes! There's a new friend on the tall block: Long Tall Sally, a hip tall women's company from Britain, is launching the first part of their plan to become the worldwide dominant tall women's brand. To which I say: It's. About. Tall. Time.
The deets: Long Tall Sally just purchased Tall Girl Shop's warehouses and Canadian stores and is planning their stateside launch. So yes, this is all a nice long silver lining. Us tall ladies have been waiting all our lives for an international brand. The truth of the matter is, the reason tall men all have stores right down the block is because they're owned by large, corporate operations that can order large, affordable batches of clothing. We need one too!
The U.S. website of Long Tall Sally just opened. The detail you must know about: Returns are free. Meaning you can order 17 pieces, and return 15 of them. Or 16. This is key for someone like me, who has never purchased a pair of jeans without trying on 10.

Do you need confirmation that your event's location, resources or start time are accurate? This tip will save you from having to contact the space scheduler or service provider (and wait for their return phone call/email) when you need to check on the details of your reservation.
NEVER Submit a New Request to Make a Change to a Reservation!
What do you do when you need to make a change to the date, time or location of your reservation? Click on the PDF below to view the easy steps to make a change.
The best way to request a particular setup for a room is not in the location field/s, but rather in the resources section. There you will select the item you need and put the note in that resource's setup instruction field to request a configuration.
For example, select "Table – Six Foot" and in the Setup Instructions field, type "Please set up tables in a U-shape"; or select "Chairs" and type "Please arrange chairs in a circle in the center of the room." Alternatively, you can ask for the resource Custodial Support/Setup Needed, and then in the instructions text field for that resource, type a message about what kind of setup you want.
Screen shots in the PDF below have more details.
When submitting a space request, you can enter multiple dates (using 'Ad hoc Repeats') as long as they are all for the same time. Any reservation needed for a different time must be submitted on a separate request. See screen shots for instructions.

In a recent blog posting, we reported about a decision from the Ontario Condominium Authority Tribunal (the "Tribunal"), dismissing an owner's application for the production of documents pursuant to section 55 of the Condominium Act, 1998, on the basis that the request fit within an established pattern of vexatious conduct by the owner.
Mr. Lahrkamp, the unit owner, was previously declared a vexatious litigant and prohibited by the Ontario Supreme Court of Justice from commencing any legal proceedings against his condominium corporation except with leave of a judge of the Superior Court of Justice. This court order was granted after Mr. Lahrkamp had engaged in more than a dozen legal proceedings related to requests for production of documents over a ten-year period. The court order, however, did not apply to proceedings before the Tribunal.
The Tribunal recently released its decision and order on costs related to Mr. Lahrkamp's unsuccessful application to the Tribunal.
The Tribunal Rules of Practice provide that the Tribunal will not order a party to pay another party's legal fees unless there are exceptional reasons. The Tribunal determined that an exceptional reason existed in this case as Mr. Lahrkamp's application was dismissed because it was part of an already established pattern of vexatious conduct.
The condominium corporation's legal costs relating to the application to the Tribunal amounted to over $21,000. The corporation's original costs submission was over $12,000 and then increased to over $21,000 when a second submission was made. The Tribunal determined that the corporation did not provide any detailed information to substantiate the drastic increase in costs between the first and second submissions.
The Tribunal stated that the corporation should not expect to be fully reimbursed for its legal fees as the Condominium Act is consumer protection legislation and the rights of individual owners need to balanced against the collective interests of the entire condominium community.
Mr. Lahrkamp was ordered to pay costs in the amount of $2500 to the corporation.
The effect of this decision means that all of the unit owners of the condominium corporation will have to foot the bill for the legal fees incurred in excess of the costs award as part of their common expenses. Time will tell if the $2500 costs award will be sufficient to deter Mr. Lahrkamp from making other frivolous or vexatious applications to the Tribunal.

"While we face significant challenges, I am confident we can overcome them. I look forward to working alongside NOIA members to promote the safe development of offshore energy, and for consistent, transparent, and productive federal policies that allow for the continued growth and development of all energy sources in all areas of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)."
Since 2011, McEvoy has served as Oceaneering's CEO. He also serves on the company's board of directors, and was the NOIA Vice Chairman for the 2015-2016 term.

None of the ideas here claims to be in any way original , but they might stimulate some fresh ideas of your own. My experience of observing over a thousand KS3 history lessons is that pupils tend to respond well and be better motivated when they have an interesting outcome in prospect. By introducing the imaginative outcome you are looking for at the end of the enquiry, you may hook a greater number of pupils in at the beginning. Please let me know of other ideas you have successfully tried.
Steven Spielberg has been criticised for being historically inaccurate in some of his recent films so he has hired you to produce just one side of briefing notes so he gets it right. What does he need to know? What image do you suggest is used on the film poster? Make sure it is accurate, too!
Pupils will have been shown an example of an analogy diagram of the causes of the First World War, presented as a Sarajevo bonfire.

Meghalaya CM inaugurates waste-to-fuel plant
Sangma said the waste-to-fuel plant will completely redefine people's perception of waste and garbage disposal.
Tura: Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Tuesday inaugurated the waste-to-fuel plant, the first plant of its kind in Meghalaya, in the presence of Ambassador of South Korea to India, Chang Jae-Bok.
The plant situated at Tura Municipal Board landfill site at Rongkhon Songital in West Garo Hills district will be operated by a South Korean firm, Chamhana GW.
"The project will convert plastic and food waste into energy blocks and theprocess of turning the heaps of garbage lying on the landfill site would take about 9 to 12 months to be converted since they first need to segregate the mud from the waste," the Chief Minister said.
Sangma said the project would be expanded to Shillong, Jowai, Nongstoin and other districts as well in the coming days.
Today's launch of India's 1st pilot project for Refuse Derived Fuel Plant in Tura, Meghalaya in collaboration with Chamhana GW of #SouthKorea in the presence of H.E, Mr. Chang Jae Bok, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea@narendramodi @RajKSinghIndia @mnreindia @koremb_india pic.twitter.com/oKEok4MwVI
— Conrad Sangma (@SangmaConrad) May 17, 2022
Recalling his visit to the landfill site way back in 2019, the Chief Minister said the amount of garbage dumped at the site poses a great challenge on how to dispose of the waste and said that with the collaboration with the Chamhana Company, the fuel plant is expected to reduce waste and revert and recover the environment as before.
Moreover, he said the project has been envisioned as a working model demonstration (Proof of Concept), to manage the daily incoming municipal garbage of Tura town and its adjoining areas.
Talking at length about the project, the Chief Minister informed that the project was conceptualised way back in 2019 but due to the pandemic it had to be put on hold.
The currently installed waste to energy plant will work by converting all waste except recyclables like metals, glass wood and e-waste, construction waste into fuel briquettes.
The fuel briquettes can then be used as a replacement for coal and charcoal.
Terming the project as a win-win for all, the Ambassador of South Korea to India, Chang Jae-Bok, who is on his maiden visit to Meghalaya, said that the pilot project is the start of many meaningful and mutually beneficial collaborations that Korea and India could have in the field of technology that has the potential to greatly enhance the quality of people's lives.
"Our (Republic of Korea) Embassy in New Delhi will make our effort to further develop this kind of mutually beneficial projects and cooperation in the future", the South Korean diplomat said.

President Trump falsely claimed on Saturday that the New York Stock Exchange re-opened the day after the 9/11 attacks , only to justify holding a rally on the same day that a mass shooting took place at a synagogue in Pittsburgh.
Trump, speaking at a planned campaign rally in Illinois, said he had weighed whether to cancel his rally as well as a speech at an agricultural convention earlier in the day in Indianapolis, Indiana. He ultimately decided against it by saying that such a move would amount to giving the killer an edge. He also compared the decision to continue with the rally to the reopening of the NYSE after the 9/11 attacks, something which did not happen.
Referring to the rally and his earlier appearance at the agricultural convention, Trump said with what had happened early today , that horrible and brutal attack in Pittsburgh, he should cancel both this. He headed to the New York Stock Exchange on the 11th of September and the New York Stock Exchange was open the following day.
He said that he can't even tell what he had to do to get the exchange open.
The NYSE closed after the attacks and did not reopen until the 17th of September because many of the workers were lost or injured in the attack on the WTC, which was just blocks away from the NYSE in Manhattan's financial district, and much of the communications and utilities were needed to trade stocks were damaged or destroyed.
Since the Great Depression, it was the longest shutdown for the NYSE.
Trump also made use of his rally to condemn the shooting that took place earlier on Saturday at the Tree of Life synagogue, which left 11 dead.
He said that the evil anti-Semitic attack is a huge assault on everyone. It is an assault on humanity. It will need all of us working together to extract the hateful poison of anti-Semitism from the world.
"The scourge of anti-Semitism cannot be ignored, tolerated and or allowed to be continued, he added.

About Major Taylor Cycling Club of New Jersey
We are a cycling club comprised of a diverse group of people with varied cycling experience.
Major Taylor Cycling Club of New Jersey (MTCCNJ) seeks to provide an environment where cyclists, with all levels of experience, can share in the appreciation and love of cycling.
Organized in January 2009, we can trace our roots back to L&M Tourers, a cycling club that was formed in the early 70's by three sisters – Lucile, Mildred and Annette Smith in Brooklyn, New York. The Smith sisters organized the L&M Tourers cycling club in response to the discrimination they experienced while riding with other NYC Cycling Clubs. L&M Tourers became a safe and welcome haven for cyclists of African descent. Over the years our club has grown: our membership is diverse and is open to any cyclist, regardless of race, age, religion or gender.
