History
Following the Conquest of Bakla in the early 17th-century, Emperor Jahangir awarded parts of Chandradwip to Ulfat Ghazi for his participation, and these areas became the Nazirpur pargana of Bakla. His son, Syed Qutb Shah, first settled in the village of Terachar in present-day Muladi. He was renowned for his Muslim missionary activities across Barisal, Madaripur and Bagerhat. He also dug reservoirs and ponds and built mosques for the welfare of locals. A large pond was excavated by Syed Qutb Shah in Terachar but has now been submerged with the Arial Khan River. Qutb Shah subsequently migrated to Nalchira due to the unsafe conditions in Terachar and his descendants continued to hold influential positions in the history of Barisal for several centuries.

Persecution Exported to the West
Bowing to Communist Regime Pressure, Hong Kong Blacklists Falun Gong
Leaked Fax Details Plan to Bar Falun Gong from Airline Flights
NEW YORK – Hong Kong's immigration authorities have blocked over 140 Taiwanese practitioners of Falun Gong from entering the region in the days leading up to a scheduled annual protest, the Falun Dafa Information Center has learned.
On July 1, Hong Kong will mark the tenth anniversary of the Special Administrative Region's return to Chinese rule, a date on which officially-sponsored celebrations are annually accompanied by large-scale marches and protests demanding greater freedom and democracy in Hong Kong.
The Falun Dafa Information Center has obtained a copy of a fax sent from Hong Kong's immigration authorities to a Hong Kong airline. Through July 1, "Falun Gong followers will be regarded as unwelcome travelers to Hong Kong," the fax states. The immigration authorities promised to provide the airline with a blacklist of Taiwanese Falun Gong adherents, who would be refused entry upon arriving in Hong Kong. The authorities requested that these people be prevented from boarding their flights from Taiwan.
According to the AFP news service, the US State Department issued a statement in response to the incident urging Hong Kong authorities to uphold "personal and political freedom." (news) Several Taiwanese government officials, including Government Information Office Minister Mr. Shieh Jhy-wey, also condemned Hong Kong's actions. (news)
Since 2001, approximately 400 Falun Gong practitioners, including children, have been refused entry to Hong Kong, usually around "sensitive" dates. These people traveled to the Hong Kong SAR in order to participate in legal, peaceful protests meant to call for an end to the ongoing persecution of Falun Gong adherents in China. Under the "One Country, Two Systems" policy, Hong Kong and Macau are the only places in China where such protests can generally take place without being violently broken up by police.
Over the past year in Hong Kong, agents allegedly working for the communist regime in Beijing have threatened Falun Gong practitioners and vandalized their public displays that aim to expose the persecution in China. Practitioners in Hong Kong also report difficulties renting venues for events and say their protests are met with silence by the Hong Kong media.
"This continuous attack on Falun Gong under the influence of the Chinese communist regime is an insult to the people of Hong Kong and a slap in the face of the 'One Country, Two Systems' promise," says Erping Zhang of the Falun Dafa Information Center.
"It's a shame Hong Kong leaders continue to kowtow to help the Chinese communist regime hide its crimes and silence innocent victims," Zhang says.
In 2003, the Hong Kong Immigration Department denied using a blacklist when it barred from the SAR 80 Taiwanese Falun Gong practitioners who had come to attend a conference. Many of the 80 Taiwanese say they were violently deported in the incident, which has since led to a lawsuit filed against Hong Kong immigration authorities.

Long after quitting office as Government official, he still enjoys 5 STAR treatment anywhere in the world he goes
And now, the highly gifted orator is set to deliver the 9th
convocation lecture of Ajayi Crowther University (ACU), Oyo,scheduled to hold on Thursday Oct. 12. Mr Alvan Ewuzie, a Senior Assistant Registrar, Public Relations, ACU said this in a statement made available to WORLD LEADERS
by mail last night
. Ewuzie said that the politician and former minister of information would deliver a lecture entitled 'Building a Culture of Academic Excellence in Nigerian Universities'. Prof. Jerry Gana He stated that Gana was expected to bring his vast experience in politics and the Academia to bear in the lecture, which was among the events lined up for the convocation ceremony. According to him, the lecture is scheduled to hold on Thursday, Oct. 12 at the institution's law auditorium.
DAY OF HONOR
Gana, born on November 30, 1945 is a Nigerian scholar, politician and former Minister for Information Gana has served the nation in various capacities including a former Director of defunct Mass Mobilization for Social Justice and Economic Recovery (MAMSER). He was appointed professor of Geography at the Ahmadu Bello University in 1985
Ewuzie said three eminent personalities would be conferred with the honourary degrees during the convocation ceremony scheduled to hold on Oct. 13, in appreciation of their various contributions to the development of the state and the country. They are: Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, wife of Oyo State Governor, Mrs Florence Ajimobi, and a businessman, Chief Tunde Afolabi. He said that the university library would also mount an exhibition entitled 'Ajayi Crowther University:
Transformation in the midst of Recession' at the T.Y Danjuma Library. He also said that Bode Sowande, an accomplished playwright and Director, would present a play titled `Flamingo' which he wrote and directed in the evening of Thursday, Oct. 12. He quoted the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Dapo Asaju as saying that the university's governing council had approved that the convocation be brought forward from the former regular date in November. Asaju said that the shift in the date was to enable graduating students attend the ceremony since many of them would be at the camps for National Youth Service at that time.

S-layer, surface-accessible, and concanavalin A binding proteins of Methanosarcina acetivorans and Methanosarcina mazei.

The outermost cell envelope structure of many archaea and bacteria contains a proteinaceous lattice termed the surface layer or S-layer. It is typically composed of only one or two abundant, often posttranslationally modified proteins that self-assemble to form the highly organized arrays. Surprisingly, over 100 proteins were annotated to be S-layer components in the archaeal species Methanosarcina acetivorans C2A and Methanosarcina mazei Gö1, reflecting limitations of current predictions. An in vivo biotinylation methodology was devised to affinity tag surface-exposed proteins while overcoming unique challenges in working with these fragile organisms. Cells were adapted to growth under N2 fixing conditions, thus, minimizing free amines reactive to the NHS-label, and high pH media compatible with the acylation chemistry was used. A 3-phase separation procedure was employed to isolate intact, labeled cells from lysed-cell derived proteins. Streptavidin affinity enrichment followed by stringent wash conditions removed nonspecifically bound proteins. This methodology revealed S-layer proteins in M. acetivorans C2A and M. mazei Gö1 to be MA0829 and MM1976, respectively. Each was demonstrated to exist as multiple glycosylated forms using SDS-PAGE coupled with glycoprotein-specific staining, and by interaction with the lectin, Concanavalin A. A number of additional surface-exposed proteins and glycoproteins were identified and included all three subunits of the thermosome: the latter suggests that the chaperonin complex is both surface- and cytoplasmically localized. This approach provides an alternative strategy to study surface proteins in the archaea.

Sydney mayor to fight Trump on climate
Thu, 1 December 2016 9:25AM
Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore says cities around the world can combat climate change without national government support, amid fears that a Donald Trump US presidency could undermine efforts to limit global warming.
Moore was in Mexico City for the C40 Mayors' Summit, where nearly 50 mayors and deputies from around the globe will discuss environmental issues such as air pollution.
Since his election victory, President-elect Trump has said he was keeping an "open mind" on whether to pull out of the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement to tackle climate change.
Trump had previously called man-made global warming a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese.
"Denial doesn't stop climate change accelerating so it's even more important for cities to do their bit," Moore told Reuters.
"An important message from Sydney to the US cities is: 'Notwithstanding a Trump-type government, you can get on and do an incredible amount,'" she added.
Cities are responsible for up to 70 per cent of the world's harmful greenhouse gases, according to a 2011 report by the United Nations.
Earlier in November, a group of 40 US mayors sent an open letter to Trump stating that they would forge ahead in tackling climate change, even without his support.
"In Canada and Australia we've had very difficult governments in recent years that have denied climate change and slowed down progress to adapt," Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson told Reuters at the event.
"We do our best with our national governments regardless of their stripes ... Trump's election certainly affects our overall state of confidence," he added.
Having faced less interest from national governments in the past, both Robertson and Moore said that they have turned to the private sector to help solve climate-related problems.
"We're starting to realise the private sector is a much more effective partner for many of our city strategies," Robertson said.
The Paris accord seeks to limit global warming to "well below" 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times.

"Free" isn't a word you hear often enough when it comes to your medical care. And too often, what you thought was free — a wellness check with your primary care doc — turns out to have extra costs when something like additional lab tests are recommended.
We explain more about what's free and not free at your PCP visit here, but the short of it is that too often health insurance carriers offer 'barely' care, meaning only what's laid out in the "Essential Health Benefits" named under the federal Affordable Care Act…and not much more.
We discovered last year that four important, check-up-related lab tests often ordered by PCPs, but not considered "Essential", were not covered. Our members had to pay for some of the test costs via copays and deductibles. (You can't claim you're trying to keep people healthy if you don't even cover important, basic lab tests.) So, we made these tests free for members.
We know, some of the federal health benefits rules (well, maybe a lot of them) don't always make good sense. This is one of them.
Easy to say, not always easy to do – but we've done it because it's the right thing to do.
Want to know more about this or other things we offer that's above and beyond what you normally expect from other health plans – like our no-cost 24/7/365 online access to a real, live, local doctor, saving time and doctor visit costs?

Texas Longhorns @ Oklahoma Sooners Basketball Preview
Revenge game?
By jc25 Feb 17, 2015, 11:00am CST
Share All sharing options for: Texas Longhorns @ Oklahoma Sooners Basketball Preview
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports
There's a running joke on Mark Titus' weekly Grantland recaps where he ranks the "second best team in the Big 12." (Why not first best? Because Kansas.) Many moons ago, that was the Texas Longhorns. The most recent candidate were the Oklahoma Sooners, winners of five straight until a blip road loss to Kansas State.
Despite the loss, our neighbors to the north are a healthy 17-8 (8-5), third in the conference, with a puncher's chance at catching Kansas for the scepter to the iron throne. But first things first: Texas gets a shot at a revenge game tonight, taking on the Sooners in Norman.
Oklahoma obliterated Texas in Austin, with the Longhorns on the short end of a lopsided 70-49 trampling. It was death by a thousand cuts, as six Sooners scored at least 9 points. Buddy Hield is still pretty good, even if he's not your friend, guy. Hield, a volume scorer, leads the Big 12 in PPG with 17.4. He's a plus shooter from anywhere on the floor, up to and including the free throw line.
I loved TaShawn Thomas at Houston. Apparently, his nickname is Tae Tae and he has a fanbase that traveled from Killeen who loves to give him random shoutouts, even when the crowd size is roughly the capacity of a Times Square theater showing 50 Shades of Grey. Unfortunately, Thomas has a thing against Texas. Thomas is 2-0 in his lifetime versus the Horns (remember the CBI), and it'd be nice to notch an L on his belt.
Jordan Woodard, Isaiah Cousins, and Ryan Spangler round out a very good starting five.
The Sooners choked the will out of Texas last time. Hopefully, Texas isn't returning simply as a glutton for punishment.
PG - Jordan Woodard (6' 0", 182 lb)
G - Isaiah Cousins (6' 4", 187 lb)
G - Buddy Hield (6' 4", 209 lb)
F - TaShawn Thomas (6' 8", 240 lb)
F - Ryan Spangler (6' 8", 231 lb)
G - Dinjiyl Walker (6' 1", 193 lb)
F - Khadeem Lattin (6' 9", 200 lb)
The Tjarkian roster review found here.
1. Zone D plus four-out O = success? Texas started zoning in earnest after Rick Barnes pressed reboot following the dreadful loss to Oklahoma. With injuries to Holmes and Felix, Barnes has been tinkering with his lineups, too, to the point where everyone and their mother's favorite analyst seem to agree that Texas' best chance is with a three-guard, four-out offense. That means OU will see a slightly different Texas team than it did last time. (Don't worry, Sooners fans. We still can't shoot.) At the very least, this means Texas matches up better with the Sooners' three guard sets. In the zone: Hield, Cousins, and Spangler are capable BTA shooters. Woodard and Thomas are not. Write that down.
2. Don't gift the ball up. The Sooners play D kind of like Texas--choking shots instead of choking the ball. Oklahoma's defensive efficiency ranks amongst the best in the nation, but the Sooners are vulnerable to offensive rebounds, and they don't take the ball away from you unless you gift it to them. Texas wants to control the rock and put up some easy second chancers.
3. Points inside. Taylor and Spangler are good, but they're not overly big. OU also has little depth: Lattin is a freshman and senior D.J. Bennett is a JAG big. Naturally, Taylor and Spangler combined for 21 points and 16 rebounds in game one, while Cameron Ridley posted a 3 and 6 alongside Myles Turner's 4 and 5. Texas' big men cannot get bullied about like it did last time, simple as that.
Game is on ESPN2 @ 8 p.m. Hook 'em.

Pro-Palestinian NGO maneuvering for control over Israel's archeological discoveries
While cynical resolutions are passed without credence at UNESCO and other United Nations NGOs with impunity, it would be disastrous for Israel to intrust "neutral" international bodies to oversee archeology discoveries in Jerusalem, for surely first the Jewish connection would disappear, followed by Christianity's.
BY DANIEL K. EISENBUD
In Israel, archeology is far more than just science.
Indeed, perhaps more than any other country, the stakes of antiquities unearthed here could not be higher in terms of geopolitical implications used by warring factions to determine "facts on the ground" in the most contested region in the world.

The battle between right- and left-wing ideologues is evident at archeological sites in east Jerusalem and the West Bank, where discoveries are routinely exhibited to the world as evidence of Israeli sovereignty in the Jewish homeland or as an occupier.
The former is primarily funded by European countries with a decidedly "anti-occupation" stance, while the latter deems the term "occupation" an incendiary insult to a people with thousands of years of history in Jerusalem.
This protracted war came to a fevered pitch in May, when UNESCO approved a resolution rejecting Jewish ties to Jerusalem – including its holiest site, the Temple Mount – prompting claims of flagrant antisemitism against the international body.
Last week, the heads of Emek Shaveh and the City of David Foundation explained why they allege the other is attempting to manipulate history to further their respective political narratives at the expense of science itself.
Yonatan Mizrachi, an Israeli archeologist who is executive director of Emek Shaveh, founded in 2009, is firmly anti-occupation, and claims Elad is compromising the integrity of the sites it oversees and presents to the public in the City of David.
Through his NGO, he has led an ongoing campaign – primarily through petitions to the High Court – to prevent Elad from pursuing multiple archeological projects there, including excavations of Silwan's Givati Parking Lot and the nearby Western Wall Tunnels.
According to Mizrachi, Elad primarily focuses on the Jewish Biblical narrative at the sites it oversees in conjunction with the Israel Antiquities Authority while marginalizing other civilizations and cultures, including the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Muslim periods.
"Archeology is a science," says Mizrachi. "It is a way to learn about the history of this land. And we identify between the way archeology is used in east Jerusalem and the West Bank compared to the rest of Israel.

"When it comes to the West Bank or east Jerusalem, our criticism is clearly how these archeological sites are managed; the narratives that are told at the sites; the way the archeology is presented to the public; and the way layers [of earth] have or have not been preserved is also an issue."
Mizrachi claims the name "City of David" is inherently problematic in terms of presenting a neutral archeological narrative of the area to the region's millions of international visitors.
"When you compare the City of David to a list of names of all the national parks in Israel, you find that all the other places are named according to their geography, while the City of David is named after a national figure," he says.
"The main problem with the City of David is that, from the beginning, the narrative begins with King David, and this is where people start to close their eyes to other narratives… but the site is not just about King David."
Mizrachi says the solution is to change the name of the area so no particular culture is considered more important than another.
"We definitely think the site should be called 'Ancient Jerusalem' or 'The Place Where Jerusalem Began' so visitors can explore why people decided to live and build in Jerusalem and what happened during its [entire] history," he says.
"It is the way to show people that history is very diverse and archeology doesn't belong to one nation, because it shows different cultures that lived here. And this is the opposite of what happens in the City of David because, from the beginning, it's called 'David' and emphasizes the narrative of the Jewish people."
Moreover, Mizrachi asserts that the City of David Visitor's Center, which attracts more than 500,000 visitors from around the globe annually, disproportionately emphasizes Jewish history over all others.
"You might find stories about [other cultures and civilizations] there, but if you say 10% of the narrative is about these layers and 90% is about King David, this is a problem because it's not balanced," he says.
Asked for viable solutions to present a neutral historic background based solely on science to prevent the obscuration of other narratives, Mizrachi suggests that Elad's oversight of the area should be removed and replaced exclusively by the Nature and Parks Authority.
"For example, if you compare what is happening at national parks in Israel, they are much better presented to the public than the City of David in regards to the diversity of cultures," he says.
"So, if you had the Nature and Parks Authority exclusively and professionally develop the City of David without the political influence, I'm sure that you would see a different presentation of the sites based on evidence I have seen at other sites."
Mizrachi also cites the Tel Shiloh and Sussiya archeological sites in the West Bank as problematic because they are run by settlers instead of a neutral body of experts.
"These sites have been handled very badly by settlers who use them to justify their settlements there and have ignored many layers of archeological evidence to focus on the Bible regarding their finds," he says.
"We regularly criticize the way their finds are being presented because it's always linked to the settlement. Now, I'm not saying that there is no Jewish history at these sites – we do believe Jewish history is there – but we are saying you cannot only focus on this period and ignore the whole story."
Mizrachi continues: "When you control the past, you control the present and the future. And when you control archeological sites and control how people see it when they come to visit it, they see it through historic eyes of 'this exclusively belongs to us.'"
Naturally, Ze'ev Orenstein, director of international affairs at the City of David Foundation, founded in the 1980s, begs to differ.
He says Emek Shaveh is little more than a proxy for UNESCO and European governments determined to remove Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem once and for all despite irrefutable evidence that it is indeed the Jewish homeland.
"The archeology that is in the City of David, among other things, proves beyond a doubt [that] thousands of years of Jewish connection to Jerusalem isn't political, it is historic," he says.
"The fact is there are those who are threatened by such things – be they in the United Nations, Palestinians or others – so, they are trying to take archeology and make it political."
Noting that Emek Shaveh issued a statement deeming the UNESCO resolution disavowing Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem "balanced and necessary," Orenstein says the NGO has an inherent bias in terms of archeological evidence, as well.
Moreover, Orenstein says Emek Shaveh's lack of involvement in the Temple Mount Sifting Project – which painstakingly examines hundreds of tons of earth illegally dug up from Judaism's holiest site in 1999 to build a subterranean mosque – is proof of selective outrage.
While Mizrachi notes that the incident took place nearly 10 years before his NGO formed, he nonetheless calls the event criminal, but concedes that Emek Shaveh is not as vocal about it as numerous other Elad activities.
"They are largely silent when it comes to the destruction of antiquities by the Muslim Wakf on the Temple Mount," says Orenstein. "Why are they not partnering with the Temple Mount Sifting Project? Why is that not something they are very supportive of? You would think that Emek Shaveh, which cares so much about archeology and the preservation of all the layers of antiquities and history, would be screaming out loud about the destruction of antiquities."
To disavow the notion that Elad is also political, Orenstein cites a recent discovery in the City of David – the earliest evidence of eggplant seeds dating back to the Muslim period, 1,100 years ago.
"If this was politics, then we'd say, 'Oh that's the Muslim period. Who cares about that? That's not interesting to anyone,'" he says. "But, we and the Israeli Antiquities Authority recognize that Jerusalem has many layers of its history, and what we are trying to do is to preserve that history and share with people of all faiths and backgrounds from all over the world."
Orenstein continues: "We acknowledge that Jews have a deep connection to Jerusalem, that Christians have a deep connection to Jerusalem and that Muslims have a connection to Jerusalem – that does not threaten the City of David and it shouldn't threaten anyone who believes in archeology. Let it speak for itself."
Orenstein adds that it should come as no surprise that most visitors to Jerusalem are primarily interested in history and archeological finds from the Biblical era, which have primarily been unearthed in the City of David itself.
Yet, he denies Mirzrachi's claim that Elad ignores or mitigates the value of other non-Jewish periods, emphasizing that all digs are carried out by unbiased internationally heralded archeologists and researchers.
"It happens to be that in the City of David, predominantly the periods that are most uncovered date back to the Biblical time period," he says. "What Emek Shaveh is doing is calling into question the credibility of some of the leading archeologists in this country and the world because it is archeologists from the Antiquities Authority and from academic institutions throughout this country who are the ones carrying out the excavations, interpreting the findings, deciding where to dig and where to stop."
Orenstein patently denies Mizrachi's assertion that 90% of the exhibits at the City of David's Visitor's Center are from Jewish history.
"Half of what you will find there is from the Canaanite Period, which is not Jewish," he notes. "But, you may say, how come we don't find more from the Islamic period? There is actually a very simple answer for that: If you go back 450 years ago when Suliman built the walls around Jerusalem, where did he build them? He built them by the Old City. So, when Suliman, the Ottomans and Muslims built walls around Jerusalem, as far as they're concerned, the City of David is not part of that. Meaning that, as far as they're concerned, Jerusalem is in the vicinity of the Old City, it is not down where the City of David is.
"It's important to point out that when someone visits the City of David today, they can have any type of guide they want who can talk about and focus on whatever period of history they want to focus on," he adds.
Regarding Mizrachi's claim that calling the area the City of David is in itself problematic and shows bias, Orenstein notes that it was named long before Elad was formed.
"It's not that the City of David Foundation named the area," he says. "Over the last 150 years there have been archeological excavations taking place here and those excavations were largely not carried out by Israelis or by Jews who have acknowledged that this is the ancient city of David – the original site of Biblical Jerusalem. That's not branding from the City of David Foundation – that's 150 years of archeological excavations that they have labeled this site as that place."
Asked for an example of how Emek Shaveh manipulates historical narratives, Orenstein cites the organization's relative silence over the looting of antiquities on the Temple Mount and aggressive criticism of internationally respected archeologists excavating the City of David.
"They [do this] simply because it does not fit the political narrative that they are pushing, which is that Israel should not be excavating in this area – that Jewish ties to the City of David should be minimized because that is politically inconvenient to Palestinian political interests," he says.
"They also do it because it is politically inconvenient to those European countries that are funding Emek Shaveh who would also like to see Israeli sovereignty removed from Jerusalem."
Orenstein cites Emek Shaveh's ongoing petitions to the High Court to cease excavations in Silwan's Parking lot, the Western Wall Tunnels and other locales overseen by Elad as evidence of clear political bias.
"If you look at the areas where Emek Shaveh is outspoken, I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of their reports focus on criticism of areas where excavations are taking place either where Emek Shaveh doesn't believe Israel should have sovereignty, or where the excavations give historical legitimacy for why Israel is in these areas," he says.
Asked if a neutral body could be placed in contested areas where excavations take place, Orenstein cited the City of David's archeological system itself as the best model to ensure accuracy and transparency.
"The excavations are carried out by the IAA – a body that is respected internationally for using the highest academic and scientific standards in all of their archeological excavations," he says.
"It's being conducted by archeologists from leading academic institutions from Israel and around the world who have no personal ties to the City of David themselves. So, they have that neutrality there and they are seeking to uncover the history."
He continues: "I would say that the City of David represents perhaps one of the greatest examples of how you can uncover, preserve and present history in a transparent way, allowing people of all faiths and backgrounds to connect with that history in the way that they choose to… We don't hide other periods of history."
Moreover, Orenstein says he has personally hosted ambassadors from Muslim countries.
"What I say to them is that I have no problem whatsoever acknowledging the deep ties that Muslims feel toward Jerusalem," he said. "And I await the day when the majority of Muslims can say the same thing about Jewish ties to Jerusalem."
Meanwhile, citing UNESCO's denial of Judaism's unquestionable connection to Jerusalem, Orenstein says it would be dangerous for such a purportedly "neutral" organization to have oversight of any kind.
"We see with all the repeated UNESCO resolutions what all the international bodies would do if they had the chance in Jerusalem," he says. "Jewish ties would be erased and Christian ties would be erased. The worst thing that can happen, certainly if you are Jewish or Christian, would be to bring an international body in to manage the antiquities here."
"It would be a disaster – and not just for Jews," he adds. "And the fact that this is what Emek Shaveh is pushing for knowing from historical precedent what would happen, speaks volumes."

Written By: Gina Duncan
Director of Transgender Equality
As many of you know, I grew up in Brevard County. My family moved there in 1964. I went to Tropical Elementary, Jefferson Junior High, and Merritt Island High School. I was class President, Mr. Merritt Island High, and Co-Captain of Merritt Islands first undefeated state championship football team in 1973. I received a football scholarship to attend East Carolina University. I returned to Orlando to enjoy a successful 30-year career in mortgage banking. In 2006, I became a member of the transgender community, no longer willing to live an inauthentic life.
I am now an advocate and educator for Equality Florida, working to improve the lives of transgender Floridians. Equality Florida has worked for 20 years to pass over 40 county and city non-discrimination ordinances that now protect 60% of Floridians from being discriminated against in employment, housing or access to public places due to sexual orientation or gender identity.
It greatly disappoints me that Brevard County, my home county, does not have a fully inclusive nondiscrimination ordinance at the county level and no city in Brevard does either. Brevard is starkly lagging in promoting an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming environment for all to live in. Recently, Palm Bay, Brevard's largest city, held two contentious open sessions to consider an inclusive non-discrimination ordinance. The hate-speech and vitriol hurled against the transgender community at those meetings was repulsive. The ordinance failed.
And now, in a time when the Trump administration has rolled back guidance protecting our transgender youth in schools and attacked transgender men and women in uniform, an event is planned that reinforces all the stereotypes we work to dispel every day.
Yes, it is for a good cause. And yes, supporting the Women's Center, which has as its mission helping women and their children put their lives back in order after surviving domestic, dating, and sexual violence, is the right thing to do. But doing it by putting on a farcical drag show and using terms like 'transformation' is in poor taste and further marginalizes the transgender community. "All we must do is endure one single night of humiliation" says Bob Gabordi, Editor of the Florida Today paper in Brevard. For many trans people, they endure a lifetime. I realize this is for a good cause but it is not trans friendly and only reinforces the "guy in a dress" mentality that is pervasive in Brevard and why Brevard lags the rest of the state in not having a a county or city Human Rights Ordinance.
There must be a better way to raise money than by humiliating and marginalizing the transgender community. In a time when our transgender school children and transgender men and women in the military are under attack, the optics of this could not be more misguided.
**Gina has reached out to the Executive Director at the Women's Center to discuss the event but has currently received no response.**

Today marks 45 days out from January 1st. This is an important date because groups looking to switch to a private NJ TDB (Temporary Disability Benefits) plan should be making the decision the move forward if they have not already done so. Unlike other group benefits that can be submitted right up until the effective date, TDB requires more lead time as we are dealing with the state of New Jersey on plan approvals. All application material should be submitted by Friday December 15th to be on the safe side.

Fish scales are thin plates of bone that grow in concentric rings according to seasonal cycles. During this growth there is mineralization of hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2)and incorporation of other chemical elements. The incorporation of these elements may occur according to the seasonal growth of the scales. In this study, we used a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an x-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy system (EDS) to examine fish scales from various Minnesota species. This system provides a means to identify the chemical elements and map their location in relation to the growth rings. Our results indicate that the scale's chemical composition is very similar to that of bone. In addition to calcium, phosphate, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen that are normal components of bone tissue, other elements such as aluminum and magnesium were found in growth rings of the scales. This study suggests a potential means to detect and localize pollutants (e.g. lead, mercury, and arsenic) that have been incorporated into the bone tissue in relation to the seasonal growth of the fish.

A hybrid autonomous positioning system for public transportation
Mahmoud Abd El-Gelil*, Ahmed El-Rabbany
Civil and Architectural Engineering
Transit systems commonly use traditional technologies such as Dead Reckoning (DR) and signpost systems for vehicle position determination. Unfortunately, these systems suffer from a number of drawbacks, which affect the operational efficiency of the transit system. To overcome the limitations of these conventional systems, a hybrid positioning system is developed in this paper. The integrated positioning system consists of a low-cost autonomous GPS system, supplemented by the already existing conventional DR/signpost systems. An optimal positioning solution is obtained using the Kalman filtering technique, which utilizes all the available sensor information. The biases of the conventional sensors are modelled as first order Gauss-Markov and random walk processes. In addition, the frequent bus stops are taken into consideration to estimate the gyro bias offset. To further increase the accuracy of the integrated system, the signposts are used as reference stations to correct for the positioning error. Two field trials were conducted to evaluate the performance of the integrated system: one in an open area, the other in an urban area with high-rise buildings. It is shown that the DR solution was rather poor but could be improved by frequent signpost updates. A GPS-only solution was not adequate, by itself, to aid or update the DR system in the urban area. The integrated system, GPS, DR, and Signpost, gave a reliable solution in the open area, with GPS outages for 100 seconds with maximum error equal 22.9 m and 22.6 m in the north and east directions, respectively. The downtown test results were not accurate compared with the simulated outages and its deviation from the road centre line was in range from 30 m to 50 m. However, taking the bus dimension into consideration, it is clear that the obtained positioning solution is still sufficiently precise.

Lidia Thorpe, Victoria's first Indigenous representative to the Senate, has called for a treaty to pave the way for an end to the injustices experienced by First Nations people.
By Tom Stayner
Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe has called for a treaty with Indigenous Australians as part of stronger action to end the injustice experienced by First Nations people.
Senator Thorpe, Victoria's first Indigenous representative to the Senate, made the impassioned call for change to address the disadvantage and discrimination in her maiden speech to Parliament on Wednesday night.
Senator Thorpe called for an end to the injustice experienced by First Nations people.
She said action must be taken to confront the inequality faced by Indigenous people, declaring that Black Lives Matter must become more than just a trending hashtag.
"To heal this we must address the inequality faced by Aboriginal people - Black Lives Matter needs to be more than a trending hashtag," she told the Parliament.
"It must be a reckoning - a line in the sand - a call to action."
In her speech, Senator Thorpe outlined her past struggles, proudly noting she enters parliament not as a career politician, but as someone with experience dealing with the hardships of life.
The Victorian grew up in public housing and left high school at 14, before becoming a mother three years later. She also spoke of her experience with family violence and personal struggles with mental health.
"People like me were not meant to end up in places like this - our voices were silenced, sidelined and written out of the story of our own country," she said.
"The colour of your skin should not limit your potential, your safety or your life expectancy."

Senator Thorpe also addressed the high rates of incarceration, deaths in custody and the removal of children into out-of-home care.
While praising the Black Lives Matter movement, she questioned why it had taken the death of George Floyd in the United States to renew calls for change in Australia.
"Why did it take the death of a black man on the other side of the world to wake up Australia, when our Indigenous people are the most incarcerated people on earth?" she said.
Aboriginal activist Lidia Thorpe says First Nations treaty a priority in her role as Greens senator
In her speech, Senator Thorpe noted that at least 441 Aboriginal people have died in custody since the Royal Commission in 1991. She went on to name eight of those victims in her speech.
"To those whose skin colour affords them greater safety and justice - it's time to stop looking away from systemic racism and stand with us and say no more," she said.

Senator Thorpe said a treaty with First Nations people would be a critical first step towards healing the wounds created by Australia's colonial past.
"A genuine national treaty would elevate Aboriginal voices and reframe us as a more caring society, where nobody is left behind," she said.
"If we write it together, a treaty can be a blank canvas to reframe the story of who we want to be as a country.
"We can celebrate what unites us, protect the rights of First Nations people and acknowledge injustices, both past and present."
Senator Thorpe's speech also included calls to take stronger action towards tackling climate change and ending the destruction of sacred Aboriginal sites.
She pointed to mining giant Rio Tinto's blasting of the 46,000-year-old Juukan Gorge caves in Western Australia and sacred trees in Victoria removed for a highway.
"We have watched in real time the full horror of the climate crisis and what happens when you stop caring for country," she said.
"We can't separate climate justice from first nations justice."

squid game x reader
Radhe September 26, 2021
This is a new game for the Squid Community, which has a lot of fun ways to play. I think this one is especially fun for the kids. The game centers on a couple of squid swimming around each other, and it's pretty easy to get your kids to join in. The game has a lot of variety, too, so if you aren't a player, I encourage you to give this a try.
The game is really fun, especially if you play with a group of your friends. It seems to be a lot of fun to play with two friends with a few squid in tow. The game centers around the two players swimming around and trying to get the other one to join in, and it's pretty difficult to win.
I am not sure if anyone has ever played this game with squid, but the game is really fun.
The game is available for free, and can be downloaded from the game website. The squid are in a huge aquarium, and the winner has to get all the squid to the bottom of the aquarium. If they get all the squid, the aquarium goes to the bottom, and the winner has to swim to the bottom and get all the squid back to the top of the aquarium. It is not as easy as it seems because some squid get stuck and some of them get stuck together.
The game is part of the same series as the games from squid.com, which is all about the squid.
This is a game you can play over and over again. It's a pretty short game, about 3 hours, though you can quit and restart from the beginning. It's nice to play for a while and have a good laugh.
I really, really wanted to play the squid.com games. I just knew that I'd have to pay $10 to have it. After all, squid is a game that is completely free. I was a bit hesitant at first, but I decided to give it a try. I was really impressed by the game's graphics and design. It looks as vibrant and as sinister as ever. It really has the squid feel to it.
Its also fun to play for a long time. I'm a big fan of the games design, the music, the cool animation, and its easy to jump into. You can get into it at the moment here in my own browser, but its a great way to spend an afternoon.
The game is free, but the game is not available in stores yet. There are a few different methods to getting your hands on it, though. You can buy it from the official website here, or you can buy it from the Steam store here. I would recommend reading reviews of the game, but its pretty easy to find good ones.
The game's title comes from the fact that squid is the main playable character among the eight Visionaries. The game takes place in a world where the only way to survive is to kill all the other squid. It's easy to see why the game will appeal to squid fans. It's a story about a bunch of squid, and a story about the battle for dominance of the universe.

BIDEN'S BIG BUCKS: New Records Show the Bidens Have Earned $15 MILLION Since Leaving Office
New financial records released this week show former Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden earned more than $15 million since leaving the White House back in 2016.
According to reports, the majority of the income was made through speaking fees, book deals, and other work.
"Since leaving office, both Bidens have worked as college professors. Jill Biden taught at Northern Virginia Community College and made more than $180,000 in two years, and former Vice President Joe Biden was named the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, earning more than $775,000 in two years," reports CBS News.
"The majority of the income comes from book deals and speaking engagements, with the Bidens earning around $9.5 million in 2017, the year after Biden left office. That year, the Bidens donated more than a million dollars to charity, according to the documents," adds the website.
The massive income is a sharp departure from Biden's image as a hometown her from Scranton, Pennsylvania and working-class neighborhoods in Delaware.
"Certainly, Mr. Biden is not alone: His three closest rivals in the polls, Senators Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, are all millionaires, too. The latest Democrat to enter the race, Tom Steyer, is a billionaire former hedge fund investor. And President Trump openly discusses his wealth, yet he still enjoyed support from blue-collar and union workers in 2016," adds the New York Times.
NO APOLOGIES: Joe Biden Says 'I'm Not Sorry for Anything That I Have Ever Done'
Former Vice President and potential Democratic front-runner Joe Biden spoke publicly Friday on a series of allegations that the top Obama aide acted "inappropriately" over the course of his political career.
Biden was speaking to a crowd of union workers when he was asked to weigh-in on accusations he made multiple people uncomfortable by routinely violating their personal space.
Former VP Biden says he "wouldn't be surprised" if more women come forward about uncomfortable interactions: "I'm sorry I didn't understand more. I'm not sorry for any of my intentions." pic.twitter.com/YcH8Wy1Qhs
— NBC News (@NBCNews) April 5, 2019
"I'm not sorry for any of my intentions. I'm not sorry for anything that I have ever done. I have never been disrespectful intentionally to a man or a woman. So that's not the reputation I've had since I was in high school, for God's sakes," said Biden.

SHEAR DESPERATION: Failing Beto O'Rourke Livestreams Bizarre Haircut on Social Media
Rapidly fading 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke has vowed to "reintroduce himself" to American voters in recent days; bizarrely broadcasting his haircut on social media.
"Beto O'Rourke is livestreaming his haircut. At one point, he notes that his earhair is getting trimmed. Something he says needs to be done as you get older," posted a reporter for the Washington Post on social media.

— Matt Viser (@mviser) May 15, 2019
The steam isn't the first strange social media post from Beto, who previously published a video of himself at the dentist's office.
"Before O'Rourke launched his presidential run in March, and in his first few weeks in the race, was a solid frontrunner in most polls and even topped Joe Biden in one. But recent polls have O'Rourke back down in the single digits, prompting Maddow and others to question whether he peaked too early. So O'Rourke dredged up an old technique and livestreamed his haircut in El Paso, Texas on Wednesday, talking about everything from his barber's immigrant background to the ear hair he was getting trimmed," reports The Week.
To shore up his failing poll numbers, Beto has launched a national apology tour in recent days, apologizing to co-hosts of The View for his "privileged" and "elitist" campaign launch.
Beto O'Rourke on criticisms of his 'Vanity Fair' "born to be in it" remark: "I was attempting to say that I felt my calling was in public service — no one is born to be President of the United States of America."
"I have a lot to learn, and I still am." https://t.co/f8u2wc159S pic.twitter.com/eQ5TKpXdAa
— The View (@TheView) May 14, 2019
Do you think you can get away with more because you're a man, and do you have any regrets?" asked co-host Meghan McCain.
"You're right. There are things that I have been privileged to be able to do in my life that others have not. The more I travel and learn, the clearer that becomes to me," said O'Rourke.

Have you ever been involved in workplace injury? Allegiance Law have San Francisco workplace injury attorneys who have been serving injured employees in San Francisco Bay Area since so far.
Per California Labor Code Section 3600, in order for an injury to be compensable through workers' compensation, the injury must have arisen out of and be within the scope of employment. Often times this is referred to as AME or QME, arising out of employment or caused by employment. Determining whether your injury happened on the job or within the scope of employment can be tricky in some situations.
There are several circumstances that may be unclear as to whether your injury is work related. Being injured on a lunch break, at a company event, or commuting/traveling, can sometimes fall into gray areas. As such, it is important to speak to an experienced attorney to avoid your claim being denied. The workers' compensation attorneys at Allegiance Law have the knowledge and experience to determine if you have a valid workers' compensation claim and to make sure your rights are protected.
If you fell and injured yourself at a cafe, while picking up your lunch on your break, you likely cannot claim workers' compensation for your injury.
If you fell and injured yourself at a café, while picking up your lunch and also your boss' lunch, then you may be able to claim coverage under workers' compensation.
If you hurt yourself on the company's premises, such as in the cafeteria, during your lunchtime break, then your injury is likely covered by workers' compensation, as your use of the cafeteria is beneficial to your employer.
Many companies sponsor special events like softball games, holiday parties, or picnics. Sometimes an employee can sustain an injury during such an event. Depending on certain circumstances, the employee may or may not be covered by workers' compensation.
Typically, where the attendance at the event is voluntary, the event is not during work hours, and the event is not on the company premises, the employee will not be considered to be within the scope of employment if injured.
An employee injured while traveling may or may not be covered under workers' compensation. Typically, an employee injured while traveling on a business trip or to a work site is covered under workers' compensation. However, an employee that is injured during his or her regular commute to and from work generally is not covered.
Occasionally, there is a disagreement as to whether an injury that an employee suffered is covered under workers' compensation benefits. An employee has a right to challenge the decision that the injury suffered is not covered under workers' compensation.
If you were injured in a workplace accident and were denied compensation, it is important to speak to our knowledgeable and skilled workers' compensation attorneys, as they will help you determine if you were injured within the scope of employment and which benefits are available to you.


Even as the share of all-cash sales falls in many areas, it's pretty clear that cash is still king, especially at the lower end of the market. This makes it more difficult for traditional buyers to compete with cash offers, especially in a tight inventory environment. So who are these cash buyers, and where are they located? Here are answers to some of your questions.
It's happening now for a couple of reasons. Lending standards are still very restrictive, and buyer competition is intense, particularly in markets with lots of demand and not much supply. The thinking is: If I pay with cash, I'll get to the front of the line and have a leg up on the competition.
Where is this trend most prevalent?
This trend is nationwide, and while the share of cash sales is higher than "normal" in many parts of the country (even in rural heartland states that never had a housing bust), it's most prevalent in Florida and Midwest markets. In the first quarter of this year, Miami had the largest share of cash buyers in the country at nearly 65 percent of total sales, down from 71 percent in 2012. Tampa and Cleveland were close behind with 57.1 percent and 54.2 percent, respectively.
Who are these all-cash buyers, anyway?
They aren't all institutional investors, necessarily. After all, they found their deals last year and have more or less exited the party as home prices have risen. Rather, they are baby boomers, empty nesters, wealthy families buying second homes/vacation properties and foreign buyers who are coming to the U.S. from all over the world and snatching up properties in places such as Miami, New York City and Las Vegas.
What does this mean to traditional buyers?
Zillow examined the share of cash sales made in the bottom, middle and top one-third of home values and found that in 27 of the top 30 metros, more than one-third of all sales of the lowest-priced homes were made with cash. In three of the top 30 metros — Tampa, Detroit and Miami — more than 80 percent of all sales in the lowest price bracket were cash deals.
The good news is the portion of home purchases made with all cash is down from last year, which will help even the playing field for first-time and low-income home buyers.
How can non-cash buyers possibly compete with all-cash buyers?
Your best defense is to be a well-qualified buyer. You're gainfully employed, able to make a substantial down payment (20+ percent), have been pre-approved, and, of course, have good credit. You should also make a strong offer and ideally one without any contingencies.
Finally, sweeten the offer any way you can. Find out what's motivating the sellers and give them what they want. Remember, at the end of the day, money is money, and many sellers may not be in a great rush to close; they are simply looking for clean offers that are going to go through, hassle-free.
