The New York Ripper murders refer to the murders of two children on the East Side of Manhattan, New York, U.S, between March and May 1915. Both victims, a boy and a girl, were stabbed to death in the hallways of tenements. Letters signed "Jack the Ripper" were sent to the mothers of the victims. The writer of the letters boasted that he would never be caught and threatened to murder more children. Despite numerous suspects being arrested in connection to the crimes, all were eventually cleared, and the murders remain unsolved.

Murders

Leonore Cohn
On the evening of March 19, 1915, at about 7:30 p.m., Anna Cohn sent her daughter, 5-year-old Leonore Cohn, to buy a pail of milk at the store. Ten minutes later, as she was walking back up the stairs to her apartment building, she was choked unconscious, stabbed multiple times with a keen-edged knife, and mutilated. At 7:45 p.m., her neighbor, Augusta Johnson, found her after she heard whimpering from outside of her door. Cohn was still alive when she was found, but died soon after an ambulance surgeon arrived at the residence.

Investigators examining the crime scene noticed that Cohn had clutched a clump of gray hair in her left hand before her death. They also noticed the bruise marks on Cohn's neck indicated that the perpetrator had a large hand. As police searched the apartment building, they discovered blood droplets on two steps of another staircase, on the opposite side of the tenement, but they were unable to determine if this was related to the case. Additionally fingerprints were found on Cohn's face and throat as well as the pail of milk she was carrying. Investigators also found a piece of lemon drop candy on her body that had been wet, meaning she had been eating it. However, there were no stores in Cohn's neighborhood that sold that type of candy. 20 detectives were assigned to work on the case, and the police kept close watch on the neighborhood in the days following the murder.

Charles Murray
On May 3, 1915, four-year-old Charles Murray was strangled, stabbed to death, mutilated, and disemboweled beneath a dimly-lit staircase in his family's 270 First Avenue tenement.  After family members of his could not find him at 7:30 p.m., they searched for him and discovered his body soon afterwards. He was last seen alive playing behind the tenement earlier in the day. Murray's sister claimed to have seen a "strange" man hurry out of the building short before Murray's body was discovered, but police later dismissed this as a product of her imagination. The crime was quickly linked to the murder of Leonore Cohn. After the murder of Murray, 80 more homicide detectives for assigned to the cases, bringing the total to 100.

Moments before Murray's murder, a six-year-old girl had been attacked five doors up the street. As the girl played outside of a bakery – waiting for her aunt – she was approached by a well-dressed man with a mustache and black derby hat. When she refused to talk to the man, he grabbed arm and forced her through an open doorway. When neighbors arrived in response to the girl's screams, the assailant fled before the girl was harmed.

Letters

Soon after the murder of Leonore Cohn, Anna Cohn began receiving letters from an individual claiming to be the perpetrator. These letters were signed "Jack the ripper," presumably referencing London's serial killer of the same alias. The letters were given to the police, who handed them to United States postal inspectors. On April 29, 27-year-old Edward Richman was arrested in connection to the letters, but soon cleared of actual involvement in the murder. One day after Richman was arrested, another letter was mailed to Cohn's mother. It read:

Inside the first envelope, there was a second envelope labeled, "Give this to the police." Inside the envelope was another letter that read:

At first, investigators suspected that Richman sent the letters to divert suspicion away from him, naming visitors who called him in jail as potential accomplices, but no evidence was ever found linking Richman to the final letters. Fingerprints were also found on the letters, but they were too blurred to be useful to those examining them.

Another letter was sent to the mother of Charles Murray after her son's murder. As she read it in her kitchen next to her friends, she collapsed in her chair. The note read:

The letter was examined, and inspectors found that it had been written with a lead pencil as opposed to the previous letters, which were written in ink. The handwriting on the envelope was also larger than on the letters to Anna Cohn.

Hysteria
The murders caused mass hysteria in New York and the surrounding states. Locals frequently chased, beat, and threatened to lynch people they thought were the perpetrator. Others wrote copycat letters, claiming to be the perpetrator.

On May 7, 1915, a 12-year-old boy was stabbed in the thigh. As he screamed "I'm stabbed," men and women ran out into the street, shouting "He's a ripper," and chased the man accused of stabbing him. The man had to be rescued by a police officer, who kept him safe in a drugstore until a patrol car arrived. The following day, 50 people attacked a man after two boys accused him of acting suspicious. The man was rescued by the police. On May 17, a patrolman was arrested for beating his wife and child. Rumors soon spread that a "ripper" was in custody, causing 1,000 outraged locals to gather outside of the police station.

On May 9, two housewives found notes written in pencil on their doormats. The notes threatened that their children would be kidnapped and murdered the following day. Investigators traced the notes to two girls, who wrote the notes for fun. On May 12, another note from a person claiming to be the ripper was traced to an 18-year-old woman, who wrote the note to her employer out of spite.

In Newark, 100 students of Lafayette Street School chased a stranger loitering on school grounds for a mile until he was detained by a police officer. Two other people were also detained in Newark on suspicion of being the ripper that day. All three suspects were cleared.

Poisoned links plague Microsoft's Bing search
By Taylor Armerding
CSO |
Microsoft's Bing is the king of poisoned search engine links. Or, perhaps it isn't.
A recent study by Fraser Howard, a principle virus researcher at SophosLabs, suggested that the risk of clicking on a "poisoned" link while using Bing was more than twice that from using Google, even though Google has more than four times the "market share" of Bing in search engine rankings.
But, those results come with a few caveats. Howard noted both the duration and method of his research in his post on Sophos' Naked Security blog: "Taking data from the last couple of weeks for search engine redirects blocked on our web appliance, it is clear that the majority of the redirects are affecting those using the Bing search engine," he wrote.
Specifically, 65 percent of those redirects were from Bing searches, while only 30 percent were from Google.
However, Chester Wisniewski, senior security adviser at Sophos, said: "We are not suggesting that 65 percentof Bing searches were poisoned, rather that of the poisoned searches encountered by Sophos customers, 65 percent were from users who use Bing. This might only be 1 percent—we don't know—of all Bing searches."
Wisniewski said this does not mean Howard's survey, brief as it was, lacked credibility. "On the assumption that the results from our poll are somewhat reflective of our customers, approximately 43 percent of our readers use Google and 20 percent Bing," he said.
"You could argue, based upon those statistics, that there are four times as many dodgy results on Bing as on Google," Wisniewski said. "That's not the most scientific of studies, but based on my experience this seems to be the case."
Howard said that both Bing and Google are much better at filtering malware-laden text links than image links. He said 92 percent of malicious results were found via image search queries. Clicking on a rogue image "results in being redirected to a malicious Blackhole exploit site (v2, naturally!)," he wrote.
Francis Bea at Digital Trends reported that cybercriminals use blackhat, or banned, search engine optimization (SEO) to "increase the chances that a URL will appear on the front page of a search engine's results."
Still, the obvious question is: What, if anything, is Google doing that makes it more successful in blocking blackhat SEO and filtering out malicious links?
Wes Miller, of the independent analysis firm Directions on Microsoft, said one factor in Google's relative success could be its long relationship with VirusTotal, which culminated in its recent acquisition by Google.
"It's not known if VirusTotal is the reason for, or helps to prevent, these malicious links," Miller said. "But it needs to be taken in consideration."
"I think that it is possible that Google has generally spent more time and energy protecting users from search-induced malicious content, and this is one of the net results of spending those resources," he said.
Wisniewski said he doesn't know why Google's results were so much better than Bing, "but they do have a lot more experience at combating people who want to make a living manipulating search engines."
However, Wisniewski said another survey taken at a different time could show markedly different results. "Like most situations in computer security, this is largely a cat-and-mouse game," he said. "We see Google make changes to its search ranking methodologies and many bad results vanish—then slowly, over time, the criminals figure out how to game the new algorithm. Bing might just be at the wrong part of this cycle or maybe they just haven't had as much practice as Google."
Chris Larsen, malware research team leader at Blue Coat, said the Sophos results confirm the conclusions of its own report on malnets, which he said are expected to drive more than two-thirds of all web-based attacks this year.
"Thirty-five percent of these attacks begin with poisoned search engine results. Using the same techniques as legitimate companies that are trying to optimize their websites for higher positioning in search results, bad guys can position their bait sites with malware," Larsen said.
He said the most effective way to defend against those threats is not to focus on, identifying and blocking malware payloads, but instead "the infrastructures that deliver them."

I am seeking a Wife who "Wholeheartedly" Believes in what she has been taught and will not change her condition just be part of a system identical to that of being americanized. Allah is always first.and a Wife who will read with me and teach me her language and I will love her forever. .
Malcolm X , Man on Fire, Legends of the Fall, Goodwill Hunting and a few others.
Jazz, Classical, Arabic, Afro-Cuban, Traditional African songs.
First Night I would cook for her. Second I would treat her to a nice cozy eatery in the city Halal of course.
Someone who is actually a True Believer in what she has studied and has lived as a Muslima.


As the bejeweled women around me became consumed in the healing power of Arabic prayer at a Chicago area mosque, I felt only suffocation. I choked from the silence I experience when I enter a mosque, for, unlike those who were taught Muslim languages and traditions by their parents, I cannot understand any of the prayers. Sitting on the cold, carpeted floor of the mosque, I looked across the devout room to the male section, where my father kneeled in prayer.
As our religion dictates, my father should have taught me the Hindi and Urdu languages and Muslim religious traditions. However, that didn't happen and my father has not spoken to me for about four years. He doesn't speak to my older sister, Tahira, either. The space between my father and me at the mosque is an understated metaphor for the gap he imposed between us during most of my childhood.
Unlike most Muslims, who view Islamic mosque visits as an opportunity to bring families closer together, my father continues the silent treatment. I am now 19 years old and my father and I have not had a real conversation since my sophomore year in high school. Although we never had a conversation where I could openly express my opinion, sophomore year made it even more difficult to achieve because my father discovered I had a boyfriend.
To my father and many other Muslims, dating is seen as an indecent and immoral act for women, especially if they choose to date from other races. My boyfriend was Mexican. Despite his silent treatment, my sisters agreed to go to the mosque with my father this past summer in order to see the Indian relatives he previously did not allow or encourage us to visit. We drove together for at least an hour without any conversation, which is often preferable to endless arguments.
Originally from what is now called Mumbai, India, he is one of six children, all of whom can attest to his tempestuous mood swings and the volatile anger he was prone to ever since he was a child. I do not know almost anything about his early life before immigrating to America. All I know is he worked in the Indian printing industry, became a busboy once he arrived in the United States, and later moved to Chicago around 1987. He met my German mother, Elaine, on a train and after three months of casual dating, the pair got married.
When she looks back on this period of her life, my mother says she does not know why she wanted to marry my father. The two reasons she often cites are she wanted a husband in order to have children, and my father resembled Omar Sharif when he was younger. Both arguments weren't convincing t me even as a child, and reinforced my mother's low self-esteem as a young woman. Since she did not think she could find a better man, she settled for my father, who has only served to destroy her self-esteem even more through his constant storm of insults and arguments.
Their wedding photos show my father, dressed in a suit as obsidian black as his beard, leading my alabaster-skinned mother down a dark aisle, her rose-petal sari flowing behind her feet. To me, this moment is only one of the few shards of time where his traditions and her Western-influenced opinions interwove. Most of the time, their marriage has consisted of a constant battle between modernity and heritage.
My mother believes in independence and the fulfillment of personal goals. My father clings to tradition, which, in my case, means I am to never have any sort of sexual desires until I'm married and I would obey his commands unconditionally. These clashes occurred in almost every aspect of our daily lives. When my sisters and I were young and my mother wanted to sign us up for ballet lessons, my father refused to pay for them. He said the leotards and tutus were indecent for girls to wear. Shopping trips were also a nightmare before I asserted my own will over my wardrobe. My father's goal was to dress me in oversized shirts and ankle-length skirts because anything that remotely clung to the skin was "immoral." When we shopped together, my mother had no choice but to agree with his choices.
While in the mosque this summer, my mind rarely wandered to the higher celestial being my father worships but doesn't emulate. Instead, as I tried to keep up with a service in a language foreign to my own mouth, I thought of my family. I thought of how my father and his religion and culture have not led to holiness or peace. They have led to arguments, black eyes, hospital visits for domestic violence injuries, broken eyeglasses, a nosebleed and fear. Mostly fear.
Once my sister and I became teenagers, we got into more and more arguments with my father. Most of the fights were over our boyfriends, and mine were especially insulting because they were not Muslim or Indian. They were Mexican, African-American and Puerto Rican. We refused to obey what we regarded as irrational, insane and insensitive commands. Sister by sister, he stopped talking to us. Out of the three sisters in my family, he now only talks to the youngest, Zahra, because she has never had a boyfriend.
Remembering the mosque visit this summer leaves me with a sense of melancholy. It's the same sadness that emerges whenever I tell someone I'm half-Indian. This melancholy exists because even though I claim to be half-Indian, I am the only one who knows I was brought up in a culture that I am proud of but of which know nothing. My father failed to teach me about my culture because he thought I failed as a Muslim and a daughter.
Still, I am glad I am split between two cultures. It has taught me to be more understanding of cultures different from my own, and to not use skin color as a method of identification. It has showed me that even when one comes from something loveless and heartbreaking, one can still emerge faithful in humanity's ability to love and to change.

Q: Explainer dashboard index not in sync across other components (inside a tab) when selected from drop down I am using https://explainerdashboard.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ to show/explain the predicted results from my lightgbm classification model.
I am able to deploy and run it fine. But, inside a particular tab(lets take 'Individual Predictions' as example), when I click dropdown on the index, I have three issues:

*

*It doesn't show all the values unless I type something in the search box. Then it lists all values.

*It doesn't search the typed values in search box correctly. The words just disappear after I type something.

*Most importantly, the index value selected from the drop down of one component doesn't show the same index name across all components. It is getting filtered across components but still shows old index name on the other components. (But, if i click random index button it seems to show the right index across all components)

Any tips/suggestion welcome or is it just another unfixed bug in the library?
(If anybody could tag 'explainerdashboard' then that would be a great help)

Porsha Stewart: My New Single Is Out Next Month
Exclusive details on her debut "Flatline"—and how Kandi Burruss helped her creative process.
By Marisa Laudadio
It's been a rough year for Porsha Stewart, whose tumultuous divorce has been chronicled on the current season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. But she's found a therapeutic way to deal with the pain: recording music. And after months of preparation, she's finally ready to share her journey with fans.
"I just finished the first single," she tells The Dish exclusively of her upcoming five-song EP. "We're going to be releasing the single within the next two weeks! I'm so excited!"
A songwriter helped Porsha (who is now going by the last name Williams) harness her feelings for her first single, a ballad called "Flatline," after she and former NFL player Kordell Stewart went their separate ways last year. "I've been working on this song throughout the whole divorce and the whole season [of RHOA], mapping out my emotions and putting in things that I've gone through," she explains of her "soulful" sound. "It's really kind of a documentary of everything that I went through to become who I am now.
"It's emotional and it's me really being vulnerable and just saying the things that a lot of people feel when you have a heartache and break up with someone," she adds.
But Porsha wants to make one thing clear: she's not releasing a vanity single just for kicks like so many other Housewives who've come before her (not that the world didn't need former RHOA star Kim Zolciak's "Tardy for the Party" and "Google Me" or The Real Housewives of New York City's LuAnn de Lesseps' "Chic, C'est La Vie"—to mention just a few).
"I know that I'm taking myself seriously. This is not my first time in the studio—I've done demo tracks before," Porsha explains. "I didn't become a Housewife and say, 'Oh, I want to sing!' I just decided I had the time to put into it, to actually release something this time. When you go through something like I did, you lean on music. It was really important to me and I decided I wanted to share that with everybody else."
Porsha says she sought advice from her RHOA co-star Kandi Burruss, a Grammy-winning songwriter. "We didn't work together on any of these songs, but she did stop by the studio once or twice while I was working on a couple songs and gave me a few angles and pointers," says Porsha. "She was such a great friend—pushing me and telling me she believed in me. She was very encouraging."
Porsha says she broke down when she heard her new track for the first time and can't wait to see how other react when it's released next month. "When we first put it together, I literally cried," she says. "I was like, 'Wow, this embodies everything that I have ever felt, and any of my girlfriends have ever felt, when they were coming out of a breakup. It's just a beautiful song."
Are you excited to hear Porsha's debut single? Sound off in the comments.

Typhoon Fung Wong brings high winds and rains shutting down much of the island.
Television footage showed rescue personnel wading through waist-deep waters to rescue people from their homes in Hualien in eastern Taiwan, where the typhoon made landfall.
Fung Wong hit Taiwan just a week after tropical storm Kalmaegi killed 19 people and left six others missing on the island.
The island is frequently hit by tropical storms and typhoons between July and September, often causing casualties in mountainous regions prone to landslides and flash floods.
Fung-Wong may reach China's Fujian province on Tuesday.

Anaheim, CA, March 31-April 2, 2017: After a few years' hiatus, Batton and Jackie were back at WonderCon for 2017. Exhibit A Press was in the Small Press area, hanging with neighbors Rebecca and James Hicks ("Little Vampires"). It was great getting to schmooze with lots of old friends. Lots of thanks to Mimi Cruz (Night Flight Comics, Salt Lake City) for helping out!

Today I attended the CFEngine meetup in Oslo, in the headquarters of CFEngine AS. It was great to meet all the people that I had met only in writing (in mailing lists, twitter, LinkedIn and the like). I am bad at remembering names, so rather than making myself miserable by getting them wrong or forgetting anyone, I'll just say: thanks all for a very nice evening.
During this meetup a few things happened that suggested that CFEngine may drive you crazy, and if you don't believe it… look at these pictures!
See you next time, ciao!

Legislative Alert for Jan. 9-15, 2019 This is the first of the new year's Legislative Alerts from the League of Women Voters NH. Each Friday we check the NH House and NH Senate calendars for the coming week and choose those bills of particular interest to League to highlight here. You can find the complete calendars for yourself on the http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/ website (scroll to lower right for calendar links).
Reminder that these hearings are public meetings. You may attend, and if you wish to weigh in pro or con on particular bills, you may do so by signing a list somewhere in the meeting room. If you wish to speak on a bill, in the House fill in a pink card and leave it on the desk. In the Senate, check off the "wish to speak" column on the sheet. Generally the committees will not vote on bills they are hearing right away. They schedule an Executive Session to do that, which will be posted in the calendar.
The public is welcome to observe any legislative meeting or hearing.
Every week or two during the NH legislative session the League of Women Voters NH will send email to our members and friends and also post here a list of selected upcoming hearings in the NH Legislature. If you wish to advocate for or against any of the bills, either in person or by contacting your representative or senator, you will do so as an individual, not in the voice of the League.
League's choice of bills to highlight is determined by our priorities and areas of interest as expressed by members. League board members or designees may testify on some of the bills. We also try to track bills that are of broad public interest, even if we don't have a position on them.
Complete lists of the next week's legislative hearings can be found on the General Court's website Click on either the "House Calendars and Journals" or the "Senate Calendars and Journals" link near the bottom right of the page. The newest Calendar will be at the top of each list and will list hearings in the coming week (or two). Calendars come out each Friday during the session. Room numbers and times are given for the hearings (SH = State House and LOB = Legislative Office Building, across the street behind the State House).
Borrowing freely from our AFSC friends, an explanation of how bills come out of hearings with committee recommendations: "Bills will come to the floor with one of several possible recommendations: OTP (ought to pass); OTPA (ought to pass with amendment, in which case you can review the wording of the amendment); ITL (inexpedient to legislate, in other words "defeat it"), or Interim Study. Sometimes they vote to keep a bill in the committee until the next year. Bills that go to interim study will have to be brought up again in committee before the end of the year, but except in rare situations, these bills will not get floor votes in 2019. In some cases, an "interim study" or "retain" recommendation can be a sincere statement that a bill with merit needs additional work before it is ready for a vote. In other cases, "interim study" is a gentle way for a bill to be killed.
So What Is A Committee of Conference? Every year, when a House bill has been amended by the Senate, and a Senate bill has been amended by the House, those bills go back to the originating body for a review of the amendment and a determination of whether the amendment is acceptable or not. If the amendment is acceptable, the originating body accedes (ack-SEEDs) to the amendment. If it is not acceptable, the originating body can nonconcur and request a committee of conference or it can simply nonconcur, in which case the bill dies. If both bodies agree to form a committee of conference, then 3 members of the Senate and 4 members of the House are appointed to meet for the purpose of ironing out the differences. Some committees meet several times over the one week period provided before agreement must be reached and "signed off on" by all parties. The Senate members and the House members vote separately, but must unanimously approve the committee of conference resolution. Sometimes, committee members are removed and replaced if they are unwilling to go along with the rest of the committee. If the report is not fully signed by the deadline, the bill dies.

Vote on March 7, 2019 to table. Then removed from the table and passed. Goes to House Ways & Means committee April 18 at 10 am. League will testify in opposition.
The perennial casino bill was back in 2017 and was defeated: SB 242 calls for two casinos in NH, in spite of the construction soon to begin on casinos in Massachusetts.

The phrase "children's portraitist" may conjure up a bygone era, but Varner isn't particularly old-fashioned, but rather she is old-school—in the best sense of the word. In an increasingly digital world, she's decidedly analogue. "My clients don't want something copied from a photograph," she comments, though she does acknowledge that taking a "single" digital photograph has been an aid to her work, especially if someone's little angel has been less-than cooperative. "I may not even need cooperation to get a good outcome [for the portrait]," she muses. Varner requires two one-hour sessions for her pastels portraits, and shares that "[when] a child comes in for their second sitting, they will see the portrait and light up." Although her bread-and-butter are her children's portraits, she has also worked for years as a fine-arts painter, concentrating on a range of landscapes—broad views of the Blue Ridge Mountains or even intimate moments that capture the corner of a garden fence and its blooms, opening up to the landscape behind. When her mother-in-law lived in Greenwood, Varner made that a main source of her landscape painting. But now, she travels more, often to Bath County, among several other,

Passing comfort on to others

[Pax vets, especially Espelkampers, note reference to 1953 in the following, plus an alert to this story from ex-Paxer Harold Miller stating, "Karin was the daughter of Pastor Albert Bartel of the Espelkamp Mennonite Church during my time in Espelkamp."]
[Reprinted with permission from MCC website]
At the age of eight, Karin Gerber-Bartel fled her home in Prussia as a refugee. She remembers the harrowing journey and what it was like to live in a refugee camp. MCC relief supplies brought her family joy then, now she makes comforters to pass on that feeling to other displaced people. MCC representative Naomi Enns visited Karin in March to hear her story and learn what motivates her to give back.
March 24, 2018 – by Naomi Enns
Naomi Enns is MCC's representative for West Europe together with her spouse Doug Enns. They traveled to Switzerland to meet with Karin Gerber-Bartel who has made comforters for MCC for several years. The Ennses previously served as MCC representatives for Syria and Lebanon.
On a Sunday in April, I drove to a small rural village called Tramelan in the mountains of Switzerland. My husband Doug and I were driving to meet Karin Gerber-Bartel, an 81-year-old woman who makes comforters for MCC after having experienced life as a refugee herself.
I was curious about the story that was waiting to be told, how one woman's own refugee story would impact her desire to help others displaced in countries at war. Karin has been part of the Mont Tramelan quilting group for five or six years. The women get together once a week in an old rural schoolhouse to make comforters they donate to MCC for distribution.
Fleeing violence is an experience that's familiar to Karin. She was eight years old in January of 1945 when she fled her home in Unterberg, Prussia on a horse and buggy with her mother, siblings and grandparents. First, they traveled towards Danzig but the violence followed them on the road. "One day we were outside, and a bomb fell on us," she told us. "I was eight years old. My finger, hand and hip were wounded by shrapnel from it. My three-year-old sister was with me." Her young sister died from the injuries of the explosion. Today Karin still carries the scars from the bomb, she reached out her left hand to show me her fingers, the tips are missing, and they still bear the old scars.
Her family desperately wanted to get away from the fighting, so they got on a small boat without knowing where it was headed. "We had no idea where we were going—we just wanted out of there," she told me. That boat took them to a larger ship in the middle of the Baltic Sea, eight-year-old Karin climbed a ladder up the side of the bigger ship which took them to Denmark. They lived in Denmark for the next three years in five different refugee camps without her father who was a prisoner of war at the time.
It was while living in those camps her family received relief supplies from MCC; it was a big joy every time Karin says. She remembers the "camp cake" her mom would make with the food they received, they would invite others to come share the cake and have some coffee. "I remember we made it, the coffee, very thin like water so it would last," she told me.
In 1953, reunited with her father, her family moved into a home in Espelkamp built by participants in MCC's PAX program, an alternative service option for people who didn't want to serve in the military.
Years later, Karin now lives in Switzerland, and she helps give back by making the comforters for MCC. Recently she saw proof those comforters were making a difference. In a presentation I did to Mennonites in Switzerland, I had shared a photo of Rev. Ibrahim Nseir, one of the partners I worked with in Syria, holding up a quilt the Tramelan group had made. Karin has a copy of that photo printed out in her home that she shows us, smiling with pride. She can relate to the experience of the Syrians receiving the comforters she makes. "When I look at [the news about Syria], I see their pain, I see their suffering—I see the individuals in the reports and I ask myself, 'what did this person experience?'"
When I asked her how it felt to see a photo of her group's comforter being received in Aleppo and distributed by the MCC partners there, she was excited, she said "It feels so good, so nice to pass it on. I have learned in life that what we have we don't waste and we must share …we are called to give back." That is part of why she participates in the comforter group.
There are approximately 15 quilting groups that meet throughout Switzerland, Germany and Netherlands; together they made 364 comforters in 2017. Those comforters are then shipped around the world to support people displaced by conflict.
I told Karin that in my work in Lebanon in Syria I learned that sometimes the blankets are used to bring beauty to homes where people have lost much, maybe they put it in the living room, on the bed, or use them as wall partitions in collective shelters, the comforters bringing beauty and dignity to their space. Karin recalled similar situations from her own experience, "we made wall partitions in Denmark—there were so many people there too. We had simple partitions of thin cardboard."
MCC, with the assistance of West European Mennonites and others, is sending another shipment to Syria filled with comforters, relief buckets and school kits. It was packed together by representatives from many countries during the Mennonite European Regional Conference in Montbéliard, France in May.
As I listened to Karin share graciously from the history of her life and deeply of the losses she has experienced, I could only think to myself, war is a terrible thing. It separates people from that which they love, it forces people to flee homes, friends and family, it leaves many lost.
Yet, I also felt the glowing embers of resilience in the human spirit, one that had survived her own terrors of life as a refugee and now passes comfort on to others. And I thought to myself, we have been given much. In the end, life is about giving back. About being faithful and focusing on what matters most.

This Day In New York History
Why Had I Not Visited Corning Museum of Glass Sooner?
Finger Lakes Region	0
by Chris Clemens
My folks were pretty good about taking our family to fun, kid-friendly things around the state when we were little. Now as an adult, I really enjoy revisiting a lot of those places and seeing them through a different set of eyes. Corning Museum of Glass in Steuben County is one of those that has been on my list to revisit for a while, but I kept thinking "Eh, I'll get to it sooner or later." That time has come, later than sooner, and now I'm wondering why I waited so long.
It's hard to imagine anyone in New York who isn't familiar with the goal of the museum. But, if you're not already aware, the Corning Museum of Glass (CMoG) is a world-class historical exhibition featuring over 45,000 different examples that tell the story of the science, art, and history of glass. Founded in 1951 by the Corning Glass Works company, the museum features live demonstrations, hands-on glass working classes, contemporary, modern, and historical exhibits, and even interactive displays. I know that museums aren't everyone's thing, and I can appreciate that, but CMoG proudly is a destination that could appeal to anyone. I remember liking it as a kid, but as an adult I have a renewed appreciation for different areas of the museum than I did then.
A newer collection of contemporary glass artwork gives the museum a high-class sophistication that features creations by world renowned artists. I fully admit that art museums are not my typical go-to, but it was really easy to engage with most of the pieces if not only for their aesthetic, but also as a fascinating glimpse in to imagining how it was possible to form glass in to such intriguing designs. There was something about the medium that was particularly engaging for me as an art-form.
More engaging though, is the live demonstration events in the auditorium just beyond the newer contemporary exhibit. Trained glass makers (gaffers) create works of art in front of a live audience while providing explanations about how glass is formed, molded, and colored to create whatever shape they're seeking. If you go (and you should) to the live demonstration, be sure that you don't leave early. At the end of the demonstration, a lucky audience member is selected to bring home one of the creations from the demo.
An entire floor dedicated to interactive exhibits will appeal to kids, and adults who learn using hands-on methods. Displays allowing visitors to bend glass, peek through looking glasses, and speak in to dishes that magnify voices are surrounded by super fun live demonstrations.
Then, even more modern and contemporary art exhibits featured thousands and thousands examples ranging everywhere from a collection of paperweights to priceless stained glass by Louis Comfort Tiffany.
Seeing all of the creations throughout the museum made me wonder how difficult it was to work with molten glass and how I would do if I were to give it a shot. Luckily, CMoG provides exactly that opportunity! Visitors can choose a class from their website, purchase a ticket based on the item you'd like to create, and then actually work with glass to create your work of art. I have never been given the gift of artistry and have never worked with glass, but the educator was great at balancing between giving me enough freedom to let me be creative, while still providing enough guidance to ensure I didn't make a total mess of my flower. The 40-minute class for $30.00 is a really unique way to experience another element to visiting a museum. I always enjoying grabbing a keepsake from museums to remember my trips, but it's rare that I get to make my own while visiting. I don't suspect you'll see my flower in any exhibit of fine art, but it will proudly rest on a shelf in my office as a reminder of how much I enjoyed my visit to CMoG.
For more on the Corning Museum of Glass in Steuben County and to plan your visit, checkout their website and follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for fun posts from around the museum!

2021: Unemployed youths will rise against govt, Mbaka warns
The Spiritual Director, Adoration Ministries, Enugu, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka, has urged the Federal Government to provide jobs for the teeming unemployed youths in the country.
Mbaka, who stated this during a crossover service early Friday, advised the government to take swift moves to create jobs to prevent an uprising that may consume the government.

He said "The Holy Spirit of God asked me to warn the government of the day to be very careful; to change policies and take care of the youths without politicising their (youths') condition.
That the government should rise and urgently create jobs and innovate opportunities that would benefit the youths of the nation because they have suffered so much.
"Don't politicise the condition of the youths, otherwise, they will arise and end the political system.
Should the government fail to do so as soon as possible that time is coming when the youths will rise against the government, and that any attempt to stop them will end the government."
Mbaka added, "Those who should be serving the country have looted the country dry for their personal aggrandisement such that our children and grandchildren no longer have a future."

Jeanne-Marie Aynard (París, 1907-2002) fue una filóloga, epigrafista e historiadora francesa.

Biografía
Nacida en el seno de una familia burguesa residente en París, muy pronto manifestó una gran independencia y curiosidad por todo lo que le rodeaba. Después de sus estudios secundarios y la Primera Guerra Mundial (1914-1918), Aynard se interesó tanto por la historia como por el derecho y cursó estudios universitarios, obteniendo la licenciatura en ambas disciplinas. En 1935, prestó juramento en el Colegio de Abogados de París trabajando como abogada.

Poco tiempo después, volvió a la universidad donde realizó estudios sobre lengua asiria y babilonia dirigidos por los profesores René Labat y Jean Nougayrol en la Ecole des Hautes Etudes en la Sorbona. Simultáneamente se inscribió en la Ecole du Louvre realizando el curso de Arqueología Oriental impartido por los profesores Georges Countenau y André Parrot, ambos Conservadores en el Departamento de Antigüedades Orientales del Museo del Louvre. Fue la primera mujer arqueóloga en trabajar en la Misiones Arqueológicas de Oriente Medio.

Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945), ingresó en el Departamento de Antigüedades Orientales como Jefa de Misión en 1946, donde gestionó la llegada de objetos patrimoniales provenientes de varios castillos provinciales donde habían sido guardados durante la contienda y exponerlos en vitrinas. En 1947, su profesor Jean Nougayrol fue nombrado Conservador del Departamento de Antigüedades Orientales del Museo del Louvre para el estudio de textos orientales y eligió a J. M. Aynard como colaboradora técnica, un puesto dependiente del recién creado Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). Permaneció allí hasta 1952. Durante este tiempo, su labor se centró en la creación de un archivo de los miles de objetos del departamento, tarea que fue una herramienta indispensable en la labor de conservación durante medio siglo.

Más tarde se produjo un cambio profesional, acercándose al periodismo y se incorporó como cronista de bolsa en el periódico The Economy, demostrando, su capacidad de adaptación intelectual. Sin embargo, en 1955 volvió a la escritura cuneiforme, y reanudó su trabajo como ayudante de Jean Nougayrol en el CNRS, sin interrupción hasta 1972, año de su retiro. Durante estos años, impartió conferencias para estudiantes de la Ecole du Louvre sobre los objetos orientales que se conservaban en el Departamento de Antigüedades Orientales.

Se graduó en la Ecole des Hautes Etudes en la Sorbona gracias al estudio, transcripción, traducción y autografía de un prisma de Assurbanipal, conservado en el Museo del Louvre. Sus estudios fueron objeto de publicación en 1957, Le prisme du Louvre AO 19.339. Fue el inicio de la publicación de una serie de artículos como Las uñas de barro del Museo del Louvre (1960), El Juicio de los Muertos entre los Asirio-Babilonios (1961), Conchas mesopotámicas (1966) o Mitos y creencias en Sumeria, Asiria y Babilonia (1983). Junto con Jean Nougayrol, publicó Mesopotamia en 1965.

Gran viajera, se sintió atraída por África y no fue hasta 1976 cuando viajó a Irak, con ocasión de un viaje ofrecido por la Ecole du Louvre guiado por Lucienne Laroche. En este viaje descubriría el Museo de Bagdad y los sitios arqueológicos de Babilonia, Assur, Khorsabad y Nimrud.

Q: Android Search Interface -- Multiple SearchViews being displayed I'm trying to incorporate search functionality into one of my applications and I'm having problems solving an issue with multiple SearchViews being displayed.
So, when I click the "search" icon in my actionbar I get a "search view" that occupies the entire actionbar and there is also another "search view" that is either hiding below the top view or it is rendered after the top view is destroyed, I'm not sure which as I haven't been able to track it down.
The SearchView that is rendered on the bottom/second is the actual view that I want.   The top view functions correctly when I make a search request, but when I navigate back to the activity that made the search call, the original SearchView is gone and the correct SearchView is now in place.  It then functions normally until I close/collapse the SearchView.
The original SearchView can also be closed by a touchEvent anywhere on the screen and the correct SearchView is up and waiting for input.
Any ideas on what is causing this?

A: It seems like you're double-implementing the search interface in 2 different ways. If you take a look at the official docs on setting up a search interface in the action bar, you'll note it makes no mention of calling startSearch in onOptionsItemSelected. Try removing that from onOptionsItemSelected and see what happens.
Edit: Upon further research, it looks like you might have tried implementing both of the implementations outlined here, but only one or the other is necessary (though one only works on Honeycomb and above unless you're using ABS or AppCompat).

Yesterday I had a conversation with HR manager of a leading PSU bank. She said when a candidate enters the office we make half of the decision whether to select him/her or not. Looks matters a lot. After all banking is a service industry. We make make remaining 30% of the decision when he/she speaks the very first line. We are looking for sweet spoken people with whom people love to talk and he/she doesn't get irritated quickly. Reaming 20% of the decision dependent upon his profile, knowledge, academics, family background etc.
If you have planned to wear a jacket or a party wear suit, then please don't do this. Buy a simple black coat. I have 3 simple black coats and I wear them on every formal or informal occasion.

Although the primary role of food is to provide us with nutrients to stay alive, food has another important role. It provides pleasure. Anything we have to do multiple times a day should be enjoyable. And while I do enjoy eating fruits, vegetables, and other healthy foods, I also love to eat sweet treats. That being said, treats are a 'sometimes' food in our house. So in order to keep our treat intake down to an acceptable level, I bake my own. This has three advantages. The first is that I only have so much time in my crazy schedule to make baked goods. That means we don't have them too often. The second is that I know exactly what is going in to them. No questionable ingredients in our house. The third is that I can tweak the recipes to make them healthier, which is exactly what I did with these whole wheat lemon raspberry scones.
Scones are a very simple and versatile baked treat. They are easy to make and can be altered to suit your preferences. You can add blueberries, raspberries, cranberries, or even chocolate chips to tailor them to your taste. I wanted to make a sweet treat with some extra fiber. So I used whole wheat flour and added raspberries to increase the fiber content. I also wanted to make sure there was some protein to make them a more filling snack. That is why I added yogurt to the recipe. The result was these light, tasty, and satisfying whole wheat lemon raspberry scones.
Preheat oven to 375F (180C).
Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and lemon zest in a large bowl.
Cut the butter into small chunks, add it to the dry ingredients, and cut it in with a pastry blender (or rub it in with your fingers until it resembles fine breadcrumbs).
Whisk together the egg, yogurt, and milk, and stir into the dry mixture until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, and briefly knead. If the dough is too wet, add a little extra flour while kneading.
Pat the dough into a flat disk about 2 inches thick and cut into wedges.
Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet.
If you want crispier scones, separate the wedges a little. If you prefer them soft, leave them touching one another.
Brush the tops of the scones with the 1 tsp mlk.
Sprinkle with 1 tsp brown sugar.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until light golden brown.
Very tasty! How long do these keep?
They should last 4-5 days in an airtight container, but they are tastiest on day 1 or 2.
Just came across your site via healthy aperture and love it. Your pictures are beautiful and I am right there with you on the everything in moderation approach. We also bake our own treats (at least most of the time).
Thank you for your lovely comment Maria. Yes, the home baking is only most of the time here too. Sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day.
WOW these scones look incredible! Im loving the lemon and raspberry combo!
From pics it looks amazing..infcat I would love to try this recipe..Could you tell the percentage of fat it contains?
Thanks for your comment. I have now added a nutrition facts label. One scone contains 20% of your total daily fat (based on a 2,000 calorie diet) and 39% of your daily saturated fat allowance. I have to say, though, that one whole scone is pretty big. While I only cut them into 8 pieces to cook them, I usually serve half a scone at a time.

Activism: Same method, different text
December 3, 2012 by John Barron 2 Comments
When you trade in confronting controversial topics like I do here, you expect to come across activists defending their issues. It just occurred to me, however, after all this time, that activist's methods of pushing their respective causes are nearly identical, but with a different message. For example, supporters of abortion-choice rights will inevitably try to convince others that abortion is necessary because of cases of rape and incest. But women who have abortions because of rape and incest account for 1% or less of all cases of elective abortion. They attempt to defend their cause by citing the rarest of conditions with a fervor that suggests that is the main reason they want abortion legal. December 1st is World Aids Day, and is set aside for people to show their support for those living with HIV and to remember people who have died.
Over the years it seems this day has gone from one of remembrance and support for individuals suffering from HIV, to support for homosexuality. Now, why do I make this leap, that the day is for support of homosexuality? Because HIV activists, generally speaking, omit the prime reason(s) people contract HIV in favor of the extremely rare causes.
When I said HIV is 100% preventable, I would hope someone who reads that is reasonable enough to think to themselves, "Well, I see he said 100% preventable, but surely he isn't talking about obvious cases where someone received a blood transfusion or organ transplant and it couldn't possibly have been prevented by the person, especially since he mentioned desires". That would have been the reasonable thought process.
Is there a reason this person, or anyone for that matter, omits what are the majority of the reasons people contract HIV? Of course there is, but it doesn't jive well with the agenda.
(University of California, San Francisco) — In 1995, the risk in the United States of HIV-1 transmission per unit transfused was estimated to be between 1 in 450,000 and 1 in 660,000. By 2003, this estimated risk had decreased to between 1 in 1.4 million and 1 in 1.8 million units.
Apparently the odds of contracting HIV via blood transfusion is virtually zero. But why would this person bring up a cause for contracting HIV that is virtually zero?
(Centers for Disease Control) — Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) represent approximately 2% of the US population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIV. In 2009, MSM accounted for 61% of all new HIV infections, and MSM with a history of injection drug use (MSM-IDU) accounted for an additional 3% of new infections. That same year, young MSM accounted for 69% of new HIV infections among persons aged 13–29 and 44% of infections among all MSM. At the end of 2009, an estimated 441,669 (56%) persons living with an HIV diagnosis in the US were MSM or MSM-IDU.
(Centers for Disease Control) — Sharing syringes and other equipment for drug injection is a well known route of HIV transmission, yet injection drug use contributes to the epidemic's spread far beyond the circle of those who inject. People who have sex with an injection drug user (IDU) also are at risk for infection through the sexual transmission of HIV. Children born to mothers who contracted HIV through sharing needles or having sex with an IDU may become infected as well.
Since the epidemic began, injection drug use has directly and indirectly accounted for more than one-third (36%) of AIDS cases in the United States. This disturbing trend appears to be continuing. Of the 42,156 new cases of AIDS reported in 2000, 11,635 (28%) were IDU-associated
Oh my. Not to make trivial the plight of those living HIV/AIDS, but it seems there are somethings we can point to as the cause of the spread of HIV, and it's not blood transfusions and organ transplants — it's male same-sex sexual contact and intravenous drug use. According to government numbers, approximately 73% of all new HIV cases are because of these factors.
What are we to take from all of this? If you are a MSM, are an IDU, have sex with an IDU, or a woman who has sex with any of these people, your chances of contracting HIV is fairly certain given enough time. Conversely, if you are in a heterosexual, monogamous, long-term relationship, and yourself are not an IDU, and are with someone who has never used drugs intravenously (or been with an IDU), your chances of contracting HIV are virtually nil.
The question that needs to be answered is why this isn't said more. If I'm not mistaken, the reasons above (MSM contact and IV drug use) are commonly discussed within their respective communities, but are suspiciously absent from discussions in mainstream media outlets. It's almost like activists don't want people to know the link between MSM/IDU and HIV/AIDS. My point here is that if we really cared about real prevention, we wouldn't divert the attention away from the actual causes of the spread of HIV/AIDS in favor of the extremely rare exceptions. Now why would people want to divert from the real causes? I know why, it sounds too… Eww… Christian.

conservative2cents says:
It's more important to them to protect people from accountability than to actually protect them from the results of their actions.
When I was a kid, I remember the AIDS "crisis". "Get tested", they said. Though it was relatively early, we knew that iv drug use and homosexual behavior was the main reason for the spread of HIV. We knew it! But it was reported such that it seemed everyone could get it from anyone. Even back then, they didn't want to say what is so obvious: homosexuality is risky when it comes to HIV.
Also, note that the message has never been, "Abstinence, then monogamy will virtually end the sexual transmission of HIV/AIDS".
You're right on about it sounding too Christian. They throw the baby out with the bathwater. Thirty years ago, the meia and the government should have been shouting the real threat from the rooftops, but they just can't be seen as being in agreement with Christians.
It reminds me of the pattern described by Thomas Sowell.
Crisis. AIDS exists and spreads.
Solution. Educate people about the risks, but don't give the whole story. We say "You'll get poor results without explaining the biggest threat".
Results. AIDS spreads mainly among those at greatest risk (gays).
Response. We say, "See? We were right!". They say that we don't know what we're talking about, that we just hate gays and that what's needed is more of the failed "solution". But still insist on hiding the truth.
Clint Blomberg says:
Recent research coming out of the National Anemia Action Council (NAAC) has found that the common practice of administering blood transfusion to traumatic brain injury patients may actually be increasing the risk of mortality as well as "composite complication including multi-organ failure."The study, which lasted over a seven-year period, found that of the 1,150 TBI patients, approximately 76 percent were found to be anemic at some time period during their first week after administration to the hospital because of their TBI incident. The anemic group was said to have increased complications compared to non-anemic patients and of the "anemic group, 76 percent received blood transfusions during their first week and the transfusion in this group was associated with more complications and a higher mortality rate than patients who were not transfused."`

Smooth and re-energise your eyes with Institut Esthederm's Eye Contour Lift Patches, a high performance solution designed to help banish signs of ageing and fatigue around the delicate eye area, including fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles.
Infused with stimulating Caffeine, Escin and Repair technology, the patches improve skin's radiance for brighter, more youthful-looking eyes, and expertly ease signs of tiredness and stress such as under eye bags, dark shadows, puffiness and discolouration.
Their dose of Lift technology works to plump, smooth and tone the eye contour's appearance, leaving you with firmer, younger-looking, revitalised peepers. Perfect as a month-long treatment or emergency eye care boost throughout the year.
Suitable for mature and dehydrated skin types.
On cleansed and dry skin, apply a patch under each eye up to the crow's feet.
