Vote suppression: the GOP national pastime
April 6, 2021 By John Young
Wanted: a new location for the Major League All-Star Game. Qualifications: (1) must love baseball; (2) must show fidelity to self-government, meaning opposition to chicanery that makes it harder for poor people to vote.
Georgia, you're out, says Commissioner Rob Manfred. Colorado is in, and the reason is good.
Atlanta lost the All-Star Game and baseball's draft because the major leagues joined the swelling ranks of those repulsed by Georgia's newly restrictive voting laws.
Hopefully it's just the beginning of pain for a host of Republican leaders who have aimed a dark stream of spittle at our democracy.
President Biden calls what Georgia has done "Jim Crow on steroids." That's not hyperbole when, in addition to decimating the number of ballot drop-off boxes, Georgia goes so far as to forbid giving water to voters standing in line.
This is not a new initiative. Baseball is America's pastime. Vote suppression has become the Republican Party's pastime.
That condition has not beset my state. Colorado leads the nation in making voting easy and accessible. Now it will get rewarded with the best baseball has to offer at Denver's Coors Field.
Colorado has demonstrated that Donald Trump's screeching about the perils of mail-in voting is just blather.
Colorado has universal mail-in voting. It works.
Not only does Colorado not restrict when people can register or vote, it has same-day voter registration. It works.
Colorado supplies a plentitude of drop-off boxes for mail ballots. It works.
What baseball has said to Georgia is that you can't host a game treasured by Americans if you spit on something even more cherished: the right to vote.
Check out our book "As I See It – Class Warfare: The Only Resort To Right Wing Doom" today knowing you (1) Will understand government/economy & (2) Support Progressive message delivery.
Not surprisingly, Texas Republicans are winding up to deliver a loogie.
You would think Republicans in Texas wouldn't need to go all Houston Astros to retain their political advantage. Well, bang that trash can.
A Senate bill would submarine local efforts to increase voter turnout – like extended early voting and the wide availability of voter drop-off boxes.
It would prohibit extended hours meant for shift workers. It would outlaw drive-through voting. It would take decisions about polling places out of the hands of local officials. It would allow partisan poll-waters to videotape voters they deem "suspicious."
It's offensive. It's wrong. It's hyper-partisan. It's driven by racism.
Just as surely as Republicans tried to overturn the votes of minority-heavy precincts in the 2020 election, these laws draw a target on poor people and those of color attempting to carry out their citizenly duty.
Republicans cannot deny this. They know it. People of color know it.
Republicans say this is about "election integrity." It is just the opposite. It's election dishonesty.
Fortunately, some other players know it, like Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines in Georgia. Like American Airlines and Dell Technologies, which have registered their revulsion with what the Texas Senate has voted to do.
What's most scandalous about the flurry of vote-suppression measures in red states is that their pretext is Donald Trump's Big Lie about the election. Worse still is the transparent, Trump-style racism inherent.
It's heartening to see the blowback.
The next blowback will be from black and brown voters.
Godspeed to Stacey Abrams in Georgia, Beto O'Rourke in Texas and progressive forces in Arizona who impress on voters what the Republican Party has attempted to do. I predict it will backfire with increased minority turnout.
The first shoe to drop is what Major League Baseball did last week.
Meanwhile, MLB has awarded its showcase game to a state that loves democracy as much as it loves baseball

Backseat driving, getting lost and temperature of car among top causes of rows on the road, study reveals
Gemma Francis
DRIVERS have revealed the top causes of 'carguments' in 2021, including backseat driving, getting lost – and the temperature of the car.
A study of 2,000 UK drivers revealed more than half had a row in the car during the last 12 months with bad driving habits, whose directions to follow, and choice of music also among the top disputes.
Bad driving habits and whose directions to follow have been ranked among the top causes of car rowsCredit: Getty
Meanwhile, 35 per cent of adults admitted to being a backseat driver.
Criticising the driver's decisions (46 per cent), telling them they should be in another lane (42 per cent) and giving directions without being asked among the top signs you are an interfering passenger.
The stats emerged in Waze's inaugural 'Year in Rear View' study, which looked at the driving habits and trends of 2021.
It found during the last year, 25 per cent of British drivers swore or shouted at another driver, while 23 per cent admitted to speeding up to make it through an amber light.
But only 14 per cent of drivers would use their horn if someone wasn't moving ahead of them, compared to the 60 per cent who would wait patiently.
Nearly a fifth (18 per cent) have also turned down their music 'to help them see' when they are lost or trying to park.

And in the year when petrol pumps ran dry, 20 per cent were left driving with a near-empty tank.
As offices and workplaces started to open up, many also went back to commuting, but after getting used to working from home during lockdown, 19 per cent would happily change jobs for a shorter drive to work.
In fact, more than one in 10 (13 per cent) would consider moving house and seven per cent would even think about quitting their job to avoid a long commute.
After getting used to the quieter roads during the pandemic, 25 per cent of drivers would give up takeaways and 23 per cent would quit alcohol to guarantee traffic jam-free journeys for a year.
Others would be prepared to give up chocolate (17 per cent) and sex (14 per cent), but only six per cent of drivers would give up their phone for a year of no traffic.
The study, carried out via OnePoll, also found that on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is very happy, Brits rated their happiness behind the wheel at 7.27.
BIGGEST CARGUMENTS OF 2021:
1. Backseat driving
2. When you get lost
3. The temperature of the car
4. Bad driving habits such as speeding
5. Whose directions to follow
6. What music or radio station to have on
7. Who chooses the music
8. Whether to have windows open
9. Someone making too much noise
10. Where to stop
When driving, 48 per cent prefer to take the scenic route, with 21 per cent admitting to going for a drive in 2021 simply to get out of the house.
After her much-anticipated return to the charts this year, Adele was named the most-wanted celeb passenger, followed by Lady Gaga, Prince Harry and Britney Spears.
While Ed Sheeran's hit 'Bad Habits' was named the song that best sums up driving in 2021, with Adele's 'Easy on Me' coming in a close second.
Ru Roberts, Waze UK Country Manager, said: "After 18 months of intermittent lockdowns, UK motorists are adjusting to life on the roads and sharing journeys again.
"This year we spent more time in the car than ever as the country opened up, with daily driven miles increasing by 23 per cent compared to pre-COVID levels.
"New habits are emerging too - drives for leisure, travel and staycations all increased this year while 55 per cent of UK motorists no longer have a daily commute.
"Those who can afford to have bought cars this year rather than taking public transport, so we predict we'll see even more cars on the road during 2022."
Additional data related to travel and COVID-19 over the last year can be found here.
TOP SIGNS YOU ARE A BACKSEAT DRIVER:
1. Criticising the driver's decisions
2. Telling the driver they should be in another lane
3. Giving directions to the driver without being asked
4. Complaining about the speed
5. Flinching or shouting if the driver gets too close to something
6. Telling the driver when the traffic lights have changed
7. Telling the driver when they can pull out at a junction
8. Disagreeing with the driver's decision to go a certain way
9. Pressing the imaginary brake
10. Looking to see if it's safe to pull out at a junction

With the "Prior Analytics", Aristotle introduced a list of inference rules (syllogisms) that concern with the relation of premises to conclusion in arguments. His aim was to determine which kinds of arguments are valid. A premise is a sentence affirming or denying one subject of a predicate. Both subjects and predicates are called terms. Syllogisms enable new propositions to be deduced from those already established and hence allow logic reasoning, with logical consequence being a matter of form (formal reasoning): schemes with dummy letters (variables) are used to stand for terms. A scheme cannot be a syllogism, if there are terms to substitute for the letters that make the premises true and the conclusion false.
Aristotle's conception for logic was the dominant form of Western logic with no breakthroughs until the 19th century advances in mathematical logic. These started with George Boole, who found the analogy between propositional operators and the operators of set theory, thus giving an extensional interpretation to propositional logic. A few years later, Gottlob Frege developed a synthesis of the logic of Aristotle with the Stoics' propositional logic. This enabled the representation of relations, whereas Aristotle's logic was limited to predicates applying to a single subject. Frege's "Begriffsschrift" introduced the first formal logic language with precisely defined syntax rules, which handle all combinations of quantifiers and negation, as well as conjunction, disjunction and conditionals.
The notion of computation came to the foreground due to the decision problem (known as "Entscheidungsproblem") that was posed by David Hilbert: is there an effective or mechanical method that can be applied to any proposition to determine whether it is provable in predicate logic? Hilbert's motivation was a new formal deductive system, in which the grammar and the inference rules are explicitly stated in syntactical terms. Kurt Godel quoted that "this deductive system should refer only to the outward structure of the formulas, not their meaning, so that they can be applied by someone who knew nothing about mathematics, or by a machine". Such a deductive system is the Turing Machine that is to date the most general model of computation.
In this article, we attempt an epitome of the fundamental principles of the theory of syllogism and their impact to the foundations of modern logic reasoning and in particular the study of computation during the 20th century.

Zombie Wars Download (1996 Arcade action Game)
Download full Zombie Wars:

Zombie Wars screenshots:
The Sequel to Alien Carnage/Halloween Harry, Zombie Wars picks up the story three years later as the aliens return to enslave the Earth. Harry is joined by Agent Diane as they race through zombie infested parks, sewers, beaches, office blocks, factories and alien ships and undertake the prerequisite undead destruction with primarily ranged weaponry, in a 2D action side-scrolling style.
Zombie Wars is the superior and little-known sequel to classic shareware platformer Halloween Harry (a.k.a. Alien Carnage) published by Apogee. The plot picks up where the first game left off: the gang of aliens who call themselves the Non Human Alliance (NHA) has kidnapped one of Earth's greatest scientific minds and forced him to create a more powerful Zombie transformation machine. It's up to you, the Duke Nukem-lookalike Halloween Harry, to save the world again. This time, you can choose to play as Diane, Harry's pretty (and no Lara lookalike) sidekick in this 2D side-scrolling romp.
Every good shooter needs plenty of action, tons of gunfire and a good helping of blood-thirsty zombies just waiting to be torn apart by your blaster, and this is exactly what Zombie Wars delivers - in colorful, cartoon style similar to Japanese anime. You are armed with an impressive array of weapons, including Alien Seeking Missiles, Micro-Nukes, Thermal Grenades and the ever trusty Photon Cannon. The levels are well-designed and diverse: you will race through zombie infested parks, slime soaked sewers, booby trapped beaches, monster ridden office blocks, robot controlled factories, and eventually alien plagued ships. Each level has its own theme and plenty of animated background graphics (planes that fly off behind you, for example) to make them feel truly alive - a far cry from static background of most platformers.
The visuals are striking, with a bold and colorful anime feel to everything. Cool looking zombies of all shapes and sizes can be found everywhere across the huge levels (which are, of course, complete with the requisite number of secret areas and hidden bonuses). One very cool touch is the fact that after you destroy a zombie, their flaming skulls continue to bounce around while you shoot at them. Fast, furious and a hell of a lot of fun - this is what great "brain off, autofire on" gameplay is all about. Highly recommended, especially to anyone who likes Halloween Harry.
This game has been set up to work on modern Windows (10/8/7/Vista/XP 64/32-bit) computers without problems. Please choose Download - Easy Setup (23.6 MB).
People who downloaded Zombie Wars have also downloaded:

King Diamond fires bassist Hal Patino
Saturday, July 19, 2014 5:38 AM PT
[ 6,320 views ]
King Diamond has announced that bass player Hal Patino has been booted from the band for the second time (Patino was first ousted in 1990). The following statement has been issued:
"Hal Patino has been relieved of his duties with King Diamond, for reasons very similar to why he was fired from the band in 1990. This will have NO negative impact on our upcoming shows whatsoever. On the contrary."
UPDATE: Patino has issued the following statement:
"It's sad that it had to end this way after — 19 years.
"I have always been 100% loyal to everyone in the band, and have always given my everything — onstage and offstage.
"Since Day One, I have always had King Diamond as my No. 1 priority. I've never ever missed any shows or rehearsals — my performances have always been well prepared (and I've always been ahead of the game). I have been a faithful friend to King, and kept my spirits up even in the toughest times.
"I will not go into every detail, but the salary I was offered to headline Wacken Open Air, and the four other shows this summer was totally ridiculous. Two days before the first rehearsal day, I wrote an e-mail explaining my view on that topic along with a proposal for a fair and realistic salary for these shows. For this, they accused me of 'blackmailing'!!! I found it disrespectful, and told them that if that is how I get treated after 19 years, we part immediately! So I already left the band on Thursday the 17th of July, by my own choice.
"Of course it's not the only reason why I have decided to leave. Problems already occurred during the last European tour. Suddenly there were rules for my stage clothes and my way of performing, and there were bad vibes because I promoted and helped my son's band.
"It's typical King to say that I'm fired — he did the same to me back in 1990 when he told the press that I was kicked out of the band due to lack of enthusiasm and drug problems. That was NOT the reason … It was just too much touring, King got dropped by Roadrunner Records, and I wanted to go in another direction. He did the same to my best friends Mikkey Dee and Pete Blakk.
"I am in Norway at the moment and will play two live shows with my other band. I told the King Diamond camp that I would be able to fly back and forth so I did not miss the two first rehearsals — and the next thing I read is a statement from King where it says that I'm fired.
"I feel absolutely nothing for King Diamond and the band. I am proud to have been part of the classic albums, and the glory days in the '80s. And that's all!!
"I really appreciate all the messages I have received from so many people, and I just want you to know that I'm busy with my new band NORDIC BEAST, with Mikkey Dee, John Norum and Co.
"I got my other projects Ammunition and the Rock 'N Roll Adventure, and I'm playing and writing with my son Maryann Cotton who's working with Dick Wagner and Alice Cooper on his new album. I'm a permanent member of the band, and I've written 30% of the album together with Maryann. It's going to be a full concept album in the spirit of Alice Cooper's 'Welcome To My Nightmare'. I'm also planning a solo project for the future.
"I hope that many of the 'diehard fans' that I've met over the years understand my decision to leave the band.
"Thank you all."

There are very few of the houses who do think about adding the concepts of pallet wood projects of pet house in their homes. But when you house is being adjusted with so many pets then it is rather a best option to add upon some of the pets in one storage place for resting purposes. In all such conditions, we do think that having the idea of putting the project of pet house is rather taken as one of the ultimate ideas. For some of the people crafting the pet house is quite a tricky task to do but that's not for the beginners. Well, why not to consider taking the help of the professionals! Let's teach you the simple tutorial for creating DIY pallet dog house step by step!
Creating the project of dog house is not a hard task at all but you definitely need to take care of cuts and hues in the crafting procedure for which you need the help of the professional. You should be first cutting the wooden pallet in the hut shape of structuring.
This image will be giving you an idea related with the size of the dog house. This house structure will somehow be moderate and compact in the shaping work. As it is all visible in the image that the hut shape work has been all done in this DIY wood pallet working.
As you will be all done with the setting of the pallet plank at the upper portions of the pallet project, now its time to cover the side areas of the dog house. This will give out the outlook of the pet house being so durable and sturdy with the impressions.
Let's make the dog house protective through the involvement of the durable and sturdy finishing of the wood pallet that will be resting over on top of the house. This would let the house to stay protective from any storm, rain or sunlight heat.
As you would be giving a look at the dog house you would be finding it quite heavy in first outlook appearance. But wait! There is nothing to worry about! You can adjust the weight and size and set a particular place in your house for locating this pet house.
This dog house will just accompany one place of animal settlement. If you have a pet dog in your house, then for them this size of pet house shaping structure is the ideal alternative. For the cat or dog puppies, this project of pet house is another one of the ultimate idea.
To make this whole project of the dog house attractive looking, you can favorably add the upside area of the dog house with the red hues of the paint effect. This bring about the whole dog house with the interesting impact coverage for the outsiders.
Lastly, we have the final result of the wood pallet dog house project in front of you! This pet house looks so adorable and pleasantly amazing at the end of the finishing work. You can even make it place in indoor areas of the house by placing a plastic sheet under it.

Home - News - Next generation of OMRF scientists brings major grants and innovation
Next generation of OMRF scientists brings major grants and innovation
Two years ago, OMRF embarked on an ambitious recruiting campaign. The goal: to bring in a new generation of scientists to lead the foundation as it expands.
Since that time, OMRF has recruited eight new principal investigators in anticipation of completing its new 186,000-square-foot research tower. But even though OMRF's new labs will not open until next year, the new generation of OMRF scientists have already made a major impact both on Oklahoma's economy and in the scientific world.
The eight new scientists have already secured $11.57 million in grants since coming to OMRF. Those funds, the majority of which are awards from the National Institutes of Health in Washington, DC, support research on obesity, cancer, heart disease, lupus and other illnesses.
"These are out-of-state dollars that flow into Oklahoma and create jobs for laboratory technicians, graduate students and assisting scientists," said OMRF President Stephen Prescott, M.D. "And the research they're doing has already opened new windows into a number of life-threatening and debilitating conditions."
Hong Chen, Ph.D., who joined OMRF from Yale University in 2008, has authored seven scientific papers since coming to the foundation. Those studies have cast light on the growth of blood vessels, a key process in both cancer and heart disease. In research recently published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, she was part of a team that identified a gene linked to the creation of blood vessels in prostate cancer.
"We're hopeful this research will help us predict and diagnose cancer faster, so we can reduce the number of deaths," said Chen. "There's also the possibility of a therapeutic, which would keep the blood vessels from forming, causing the cancer to 'starve' and die."
Courtney Gray Montgomery, Ph.D., has been lead or senior author on four papers exploring the genetics of human disease since coming to OMRF from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland in 2008. She has also identified a cluster of three genes associated with early-onset colon cancer in families.
Last year, Montgomery won a $2 million grant to study the genetics of sarcoidosis, a rare immune disorder. The research focuses on African-Americans, who are nine times more likely to suffer from the disease than Americans of European ancestry.
According to Montgomery, OMRF's collaborative culture distinguishes it from other research institutions. "Not only have I been able to form relationships with other OMRF investigators, but I have been able to chat about grants management and the research goals of the institution over dinner with the president. Coming here has been a breath of fresh air."
The eight new researchers represent the first wave of an effort that will add 30 principal scientists to OMRF's faculty. Recruitment efforts are ongoing, with at least two new scientists expected to join OMRF before year-end.
"We've already seen incredible productivity from a small group of researchers who are still in the early phases of their careers," said Prescott. "It's exciting to imagine what's to come."
OMRF's "next generation" includes:
Marta Alarcon, M.D., Ph.D. – joined OMRF in 2009 from Uppsala Univ. (Sweden)
Jana Barlic, Ph.D, – joined OMRF in 2008 from the Imperial College of Medicine (London)
Hong Chen, Ph.D., – joined OMRF in 2008 from Yale University
Courtney Griffin, Ph.D., – joined OMRF in 2008 from the Univ. of North Carolina
Tim Griffin, Ph.D., – joined OMRF in 2008 from Duke Univ.
Mike Kinter, Ph.D., – joined OMRF in 2008 from the Cleveland Clinic
Courtney Montgomery, Ph.D., – joined OMRF in 2008 from Case Western Reserve Univ.
Roberto Pezza, Ph.D., – joined OMRF in 2009 from the National Institutes of Health

Lawmakers head up north to mine for information
October 24, 2011 By Jackie Johnson
Members of a legislative committee meet in Hurley Thursday to get public input on a possible iron mine in that region. Representative Mary Williams (R-Medford) is chairperson of the Assembly Committee on Jobs, Economy and Small Business. "And I want to get input from people on the benefits and the concerns in regards to changing the state mining statutes."
Williams plans to go 264 miles north of Wisconsin's capital city to hear from residents, tribal members, local government officials and stakeholders regarding their concerns about Gogebic Taconite's proposal to dig tons of iron ore from the ancient mountain range. "Now this mine could create thousands of good jobs — good paying jobs — for many, many years to come. So we want to gather information that will be relevant to designing a bill to move forward in the best manner than we can."
Citing environmental concerns, conservationists and outdoors groups say lawmakers should consider the consequences before caving to pressure from the mining industry to weaken state mining laws. Williams says the nearly five-hour drive is much too far for the general public to go to attend a public hearing in Madison. "And I thought if we have the opportunity to go right in their own back yard that would be a good thing to do. So we'll start with a hearing there."
Williams says the committee will convene in the Hurley High School auditorium starting at 1:00 and will likely continue into the evening. She plans to have even more hearings on this issue. The auditorium holds 350 people and Williams expects every seat to be filled.
The state needs to give approval before the mining company can move forward with its plans.

The cider list is now on the website. The beer list will be available shortly. Please check back. See you tomorrow.
A reminder that we open at 5pm tomorrow. Get there early!
Today we finalised our Foreign beer selection and you can find said list on it's own dedicated page. Drink responsibly though otherwise you'll wake up in two years time with a massive headache and only a WTO trade deal in place.


On the bright side, the final tally (24 letters) was within 2 of my surmising (22), and within 3 (27) of the Greek guy I asked at work today, who apparently doesn't know his own language as well as I do.
Bonus Greek alphabet link: Wikipedia helpfully covers the Greek letters used in mathematics and what they mean.
A little bored, were we?
The original Greek Alphabet had 27 letters which were also the "digits" of the Greek numeral system. And maybe the first use of these 27 signs was arithmetical and not grammatical.

Recently, U. N. Katugampola presented some generalized fractional integrals and derivatives by iterating a $ t^{\rho-1}- $weighted integral, $ \rho>0 $. The case $ \rho = 1 $ produces Riemann and Caputo fractional derivatives and the limiting case $ \rho\rightarrow 0^+ $ results in Hadamard type fractional operators. In this article, we discuss the differences between a new class of nonlocal generalized fractional derivatives generated by iterating left and right type conformable integrals weighted by $ (t-a)^{\rho-1} $ and $ (b-t)^{\rho-1} $ and the ones introduced by Katugampola. In fact, we will present very different integration by parts formulas by presenting new mixed left and right generalized fractional operators with boundary points dependent kernels. The properties of this new class of mixed fractional operators are analyzed in newly defined function spaces as well.
Keywords: Generalized fractional derivatives, generalized Caputo fractional derivatives, integrations by parts, mixed left and mixed right conformable fractional integrals and derivatives.

IMOCA reference time
Armel Le Cléac'h, IMOCA Banque Populaire, 2016, 74j 3h 35m 46s
A non-stop, unassisted, singlehanded round the world race via the three capes, the Vendée Globe is the Holy Grail for solo sailors. Setting sail from Les Sables d'Olonne every four years, the ninth chapter of this reference race will start on 8 November 2020 at 12:02 GMT.
Created some 20 years ago by Philippe Jeantot, the Vendée Globe is the seminal event of French offshore racing and entered sporting legend from its very first edition in 1989, which was won by Titouan Lamazou after 109 days at sea. Some thirty or so years later, the skippers have shaved a third off the race time over an unchanged course.
The current record dates back to 2016-17 and is held by the Breton Armel Le Céac'h, who completed the 24,000 nautical miles (over 44,400 kilometres) in 74 days, 3 hours, 35 minutes and 46 seconds, after an interminable battle with the Briton Alex Thomson, who secured the second spot.
In July 2020, at the end of the qualification process that began in 2018 and at the end of the final pre-event, the Transat New York-Vendée-Les Sables d'Olonne, we will know the final list of 34 starters for the ninth edition of the single-handed round-the-world race.

Because parenting is a big topic, we have monthly themes for Wise Fathers. Not everything will be related to the theme, but they are related to what we think will be most interesting to our readers during each month.
Dads build. Not all dads, and not all the time, but it is one of the activities most of us most strongly associate with dads, right along with the related activity of repairing. In addition, many Cub Scout units have their Pinewood Derby in the early winter. Designing and building those cars is a common father-son activity, and one with a surprisingly large variety of products and rules surrounding it.
Whether it's a model one of you received for Christmas (whatever year, or decade, that might have been), a tree fort, or a new lamp, this is the month we tackle it.
Yes, Valentine's Day is the reason this topic is in February, but it isn't just about romantic relationships. Siblings, extended family, grandparents, godparents, friends – we all have a ton of relationships in our lives and our kids are no exception. Helping them learn to negotiate all these relationships is no small task.
My parents, being smart people, realized that as our kids became teenagers, they wouldn't want to visit any more. They are tricky, though. They had our boys try skiing because they live near a ski resort. One now loves skiing and will probably keep coming to visit them as long as they live there, just so he can go skiing. In my book, that is grandparenting, master level!
It starts getting warm, and gardeners start growing plants indoors, in March. After a long, cold, windy, wet, or otherwise generally indoors winter, it's time to start going outside again. Even if you live in an area that's warm all winter, there is something about spring that makes us all want to be outside more. This is a good time to start thinking about how you will share your favorite activities in the warm months to come.
Biking, hiking, gardening, exploring, building – whatever it is you and your kids like doing outdoors, now it s good time to start preparing, or maybe even doing.
Mother's Day is in early May, so Wise Fathers is focusing on moms and mothers in the weeks before that because, let's face it, a Wise Father doesn't ignore Mother's Day for either the mother or grandmothers of his children.
This year, we're giving you a little help.
Father's Day is in June. It can be hard for moms to figure out what dads want for Father's Day and, really, for lots of other things, including anniversaries and birthdays. Plus, honestly, sometimes we just like to share cool things we've found.
This month, Wise Fathers focuses on cool things we think dads will like.
If you are short on funds, take a day-trip or maybe a family road trip. Some of the best places are ones you see on a highway sign or find in the brochures at a highway rest stop. Take a chance and try something new! You never know how great a memory seeing that giant ball of twine might be.
Summer is a good time to visit some places like your state capitol and public parks (county, state, and national). Take some time this summer to visit places (like your capital) that most of us leave on our "someday" list until we die, having never actually gone there.
There are so many kinds of games. Some involve physical movement like tag. Others may be online games that you can play as a family unit. Then there are my favorites: card and board games. Board games are awesome! When we play them – which is admittedly not often enough – our kids have a blast. And of course, sports are part of this!
The number and variety of games available today is truly amazing. Take some time to explore something new with your kids, maybe a favorite one of the Wise Fathers writers shares.
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yep, back to school. (OK, most really start in August at that point, but September still feels like back-to-school month.) The basics are always reading, writing, and 'rithmatic, but the details of how those are taught and what else they are learning is amazing, not to mention the rules parents need to know so they and their kids don't get in trouble can be overwhelming, especially when you are starting out. When my eldest was in preschool, he and a friend played "The Hugging Game." It looked exactly like wrestling, but they both knew they would get in trouble in preschool for "wrestling" but not for "hugging." That was not the first, or last, time we have worked around silly (but well-intentioned) school rules.
Whether it's choosing a preschool or helping your kid cope with not getting into their first choice college, there is a lot to talk about related to school.
"Boys cook. Girls don't." That's what one of the kids in my son's preschool told me, and I loved it! My boys both love baking because they know that if they bake it, they can eat it, but there is a lot more for them to learn. Whether you are in a time of privation like the Great Depression (when this mural was painted) or a time of plenty (like the picture shows), knowing how to cook enables you to make food just the way you like it.
Starting with very basic skills, we have thoughts on kids and cooking.
The Holiday Season is chock full of traditions for most of us, but this is about more than just the holidays. Family movie night can be a tradition. Pizza after playing soccer (or while watching soccer) can be a tradition.
While it may not be a tradition in the strictest sense, our eldest son and I go to a large Lego convention every year and display Lego MOCs (My Own Creation – in other words, not sets designed by someone else). In May, both boys make cinnamon almonds with me to give their teachers for Teacher Appreciation Day. Traditions don't have to be old-timey activities like cutting down a Christmas tree – although it's great if your family does that. The important part is that they are fun and matter to your family, not that they sound fancy or impressive to someone else.

School's keeping me super busy. But i'm having a good time. in fact, the other day we did the tour of portland's shanghai tunnels. if you've ever been on that tour you know that it's super cheesy… that doesn't mean there's nothing to learn from it. here's a summary of what we learned: block to block featuring MC Tweezy.
Oh hey also we've made our first thing as a class. it's a poster for a boxing thing coming up at the building where ad people fight eachother. We screen printed the poster right in my room and it came out good.

Q: How can i show Keyboard while open Mailcomposer? I want to show keyboard when mail composer open without take any action.i mean when mail composer open automatically keyboard should display.

A: This isn't possible as far as I know.  You might be able to traverse the views of the mailComposer to find the appropriate text field but that is a risky thing to do and liable to break.
Plus it might get your app rejected.  Although it's not exactly clear.  From the MFMailComposeViewController Class Reference:

Important: The mail composition interface itself is not customizable and must not be modified by your application. In addition, after presenting the interface, your application is not allowed to make further changes to the email content. The user may still edit the content using the interface, but programmatic changes are ignored. Thus, you must set the values of content fields before presenting the interface.

Q: Firefox XUL textbox: How to scroll to the bottom? I'm working on a Firefox extension, and I have created a multiline text box. When the user presses a button, I add text to the textbox by using (Javascript) TextBoxElement.value += "More Text";
The problem with this code, is that whenever more text is added, the textbox scrolls all the way to the top. With much testing, I haven't figured out how to make it scroll all the way to the bottom again. For some reason the scrollTop property is always 0, and setting it doesn't effect the scroll bar.
Is there any ways I can set the scroll bar back to the bottom of the text box?
My extension's purpose is to embed a small chat box. I'm using a textbox to store the chat history. Maybe using a textbox isn't the most efficient way, so any other suggestions would be great as well.

A: Someone on Chatzilla helped me out on this one. Thank You!
Anyway, here is the solution:
var TextBoxElement = <TextBoxElement>;
var ti = document.getAnonymousNodes(TextBoxElement)[0].childNodes[0];
    ti.scrollTop=ti.scrollHeight;

A: The another solution is to move caret to the end of textbox content. Caret is controlled with selectionStart and selectionEnd properties (which can be set or get).
Here is the sample code:
var TextBoxElement = document.getElementById("myTextboxId");
var pos = TextBoxElement.value.length;
TextBoxElement.selectionStart = pos;
TextBoxElement.selectionEnd = pos;


After half a week of 12+ hour days at or near the United Nations headquarters, our delegation is getting tired but we are all so enthusiastic about being here that our fatigue matters very little. Our third day at CSW62 brought our second Permanent Mission visit, this time at the Tunisian headquarters. We had the chance to sit down with Deputy Permanent Representative Moëzz Laouani to discuss contentious issues currently faced by Tunisian women, such as inheritance laws, religious influence in society, and the role of women in crafting the 2014 Tunisian Constitution. It was a great pleasure to be able to engage in such frank and honest conversation – the Deputy Permanent Representative spoke about his experiences in higher education, foreign service, and even the challenges of raising a family when engaged in diplomatic work. These are all considerations that we must personally confront if we hope to enter into the diplomatic corps one day, and it was highly beneficial to have the chance to ask questions to someone at the top of their field in international affairs.
As my primary interest in human and women's rights lies in gender-based violence, I was pleased to attend the event related to violence against women and ICT. Unlike many of the other events I've attended, this side-event looked at the power of ICT to not only aid efforts towards combatting gender-based violence but also its ability to contribute to this issue. Included on the panel were Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women Dubravka Šimonović and United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed. These two women, and particularly Ms. Šimonović, are two individuals that I greatly admire for their work surrounding gender-based violence and I was thrilled to be chosen to ask a question pertaining to direct consultation of young women and girls who have experienced gender-based violence as a result of information and communications technologies.
We also were able to briefly sneak in to a closed session of the Security Council. This meeting has made international news as it was called by the United Kingdom in regard to its claim that the Russian government was involved in the attempted murders of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia with the use of the nerve agent Novichok on British soil. As a result, the British government announced earlier on Wednesday that it would expel 23 Russian diplomats from its territory. This meeting of the Security Council allowed representatives from around the world, including those of the United Kingdom and the Russian Federation, to express their views on the issue. You can watch a full video of the meeting here.
All is not so interesting and inspiring at the United Nations, however. While it is easy to walk through its hallowed halls with reverence and appreciation for the work that is conducted on a daily basis, I experienced first-hand why the United Nations is critiqued as an out-of-touch and ineffective institution.
The event I attended entitled "CSW Roundtable Event with Member States on the Joint Global Programme on Essential Services for Women and Girls Subject to Violence" appeared impressive upon arrival – the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and UN Women had rented out a ballroom at The Westin near the UN Headquarters. There were free drinks and canapés. The two UN agencies managed to bring in a total of 21 ministers, ambassadors, and speakers. Most significantly, they had flown in two survivors of Boko Haram violence. Aesthetically and programme-wise, it was the perfect lineup. However, I quickly realized that all was not well almost immediately after the event began. The number of problems that could have been easily mitigated were almost unbelievable – a single translator for a stage full of speakers, a standing-room only space which resulted in a noisy audience, and consuming wine and eating cheese under the light of chandeliers while Boko Haram survivors discussed their unfathomable experiences. The desire to produce an excellent event on paper ignored the logistic considerations that these two girls deserved. To have ministers speak about the vague provisions of the Essential Services Programme and then be followed by the survivors' stories of their children dying in front of their eyes in a Nigerian forest felt, to me, a grave mistake. I was devastated by their stories of loss and trauma, but my discomfort was truly unimportant when compared to the necessity of this message: thousands of girls have been kidnapped by Boko Haram and suffer that which is difficult to comprehend by nearly all of us who experience the luxury of attending multilateral conferences such as CSW. I remain appalled by the inconsiderate nature of the structure and implementation of an event which should have focused on survivors rather than cocktails and empty statements. This is not a criticism of the individual organizers of the event. This is not even a criticism of the United Nations as a whole. Rather, it is an expression of frustration towards a system that places such emphasis on optics, the callous nature in which vitally important content can be disseminated, and the disconnect between policies that are created and those that they truly serve.
I wholeheartedly believe in the importance of the United Nations. I believe that the United Nations is one of the greatest hopes we have for combatting global suffering. I believe that the United Nations is an inherently good institution. This event demonstrated that there is much work to be done. The Commission on the Status of Women should not be about photo opportunities and canapés. It should be about sowing the seeds of impactful, desperately needed policies and initiatives. This is the work that the United Nations must undertake to achieve its mandate and remember for whom it exists, full stop.
