Q: Batch script that moves each file in a folder into their own folders named after the file? So if I have
/folder/file1.txt
/folder/file2.jpg
/folder/file3.py

I want to create
/folder/file1/file1.txt
/folder/file2/file2.jpg
/folder/file3/file3.py

I have this batch file (be careful where you run it), which mostly works but if there is whitespace in the file name, the folder name will only be named up until the whitespace and so the file won't be moved inside of it.
Also, I only got it to work by arbitrarily putting the word "Folder" or some random string at the end of the folder name, if I exclude that, for some reason it won't work. I'm on windows 7.
@echo off

for /f %%a in ('dir /a-d /b') do (
  if not "%%~dpnxa"=="%~dpnx0" call :func "%%~a"
)

goto :EOF

:func
set file=%~1
set dir=%file% Folder
md "%dir%" Folder 2>nul
move "%file%" "%dir%"
goto :EOF

Any ideas on how to address the whitespace/name issues? Thanks in advance.

A: @echo off

for /f "usebackq delims=?" %%a in (`dir /a-d /b`) do (
  if not "%%~dpnxa"=="%~dpnx0" call :func "%%~a"
)

goto :EOF

:func
set file=%~1
set dir=%file% Folder
md "%dir%" Folder 2>nul
move "%file%" "%dir%"
goto :EOF

By setting the delims=? you are saying that your delimiter is a ? to split up a string, instead of the whitespace character, which allows you to read full file names with spaces in them. Usebackq means that you instead use ` around the command to be ran, which to me, just makes it more logical to read and understand "Hey, I'm actually executing this string."

A: To avoid problems with spaces in paths/file names, double quote all the references to them.
The reason for having to include a string at the end of the folder in your code is you are trying to create a folder with exactly the same name that the file (in your code, you are not removing the extension), and you can not have two elements (files or folders) inside a folder with the same name.
@echo off
    for %%a in ("c:\folder\*") do (
        if not "%%~fa"=="%~f0" (
            if not exist "%%~dpna\" echo md "%%~dpna"
            if     exist "%%~dpna\" echo move /y "%%~fa" "%%~dpna"
        )
    )

For each file in the indicated folder

*

*if the file is not the batch file

*

*if not exist a folder with the same name that the file, create it

*if the target folder exist, move the file to the folder

%%~fa = full path of the file being processed
%~f0 = full path of the batch file
%%~dpna = drive, path, and file name without extension of the current file being proccesed
In this code, the reason for the third if is to check if the possible previous folder creation has failed. If you have a file with no extension, you will not be able to create the folder, as it will have exactly the same name as the file and this is not allowed.
Code includes echo commands before md and move to show what will be executed. If the output is correct, remove the echo to make it work.

Okay, time for one of those wacky powers again! This is from issue #235, written by Danny Fingeroth (his only work on the title) and pencilled by Steve Ditko. What we have here is Daredevil busting some arts thieves, and determining that they have stolen a genuine Picasso! Now how does he do this, you ask? Well, by feeling the paint strokes (and note the rather wacky extra radar rings coming from his hand in this panel…).
I have a couple of problems with this power: 1) Paint feels like paint, feels like paint. I seriously doubt one brush stroke feels that different from another brush stroke painted by some other artists using a similar technique. 2) In order to determine that this is a genuine Picasso, wouldn't he need some kind of reference to go on? That is, wouldn't he have had to actually touch a genuine Picasso painting in the past in order to know what such a painting feels like? This is perhaps the most damaging piece of evidence, and the one that clearly proves that this power belongs in the wacky category. Very few people in the world are allowed to touch a painting by Pablo Picasso, and I doubt that Matt Murdock is among the few to have done so.
Description: Panel shows Daredevil hold up a painting that was wrapped in sheets. He's thinking to himself, "Paintings! I can feel the paint's imprint with my fingertips. This is an original Picasso, worth millions." He then says, to no one in particular, "You boys have taste. You left the money and got the good stuff.
Having said so… Matt strikes me as a great art connoisseur… of sculpture! but hardly of paintings, as you say.
In fact, my canon image of Matt's relationship with Picasso is in the Secret Wars II issue, in which the Beyonder gives Matt his sight back: the day out with Glorianna in New York, with a VERY puzzled Matt staring at Picasso's "Les Senyoretes del carrer d'Avinyó" while Glori cracks at his reaction is just priceless. I believe this is a good perception of Matt, whom I believe would have difficulty in appreciatting modern art if his sight came back.
Damn, how is he ugly.
Also, look at the detail of his ear. Either his mask is very very (insanely) tight… or is ear is painted red.
You might enjoy this interview with former Spider-Man comics group editor Danny Fingeroth. Fingeroth is also the editor of "Disguised as Clark Kent" and "Superman on the Couch," and is editor of "Write Now! magazine.
Daredevil's mask has always been shown to follow the contours of his ears. Does this really make sense? No. But it's pretty much a constant of how he's drawn, hardly unique to this panel.
Wouldn't it be interesting if this is the painting he has in his hands in this panel, and that's why he's able to recognize it? I could easily imagine that DD's enhanced olfactory senses could tell that the canvas and pigments were aged and not a new forgery. Granted that to be a great forgery the painter would use period appropriate canvas and paints, natch. So still the scene doesn't really hold up.
Or does it? Could Matt recognize the EXACT scent of the canvas, the EXACT scent of the combination of paints on that particular painting he'd seen years before?
But then again, he saw it when he had his eyesight back, and thus his enhanced sense of smell wasn't working – it's been well-established over the years, DD gains his sight, he loses his super-senses. So STILL the scene doesn't hold up. LOL.


Colin Kaepernick has all the racist white people in a frenzy today as Nike announces the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback as the face of their "Just Do It" campaign.
Kaepernick has pretty much been blacklisted by the NFL since the 2016 season. That year, he began kneeling during the national anthem to raise awareness about police brutality against African-Americans and other racial injustices. Dozens of other players also began joining Kaepernick, and he has grown into a symbol of dividing lines over race in America.

This protocol is intended for immunoprecipitation of native proteins for analysis by western immunoblot or kinase activity utilizing Protein G magnetic separation.
Protein G Magnetic Beads: (#70024).
Magnetic Separation Rack: (#7017) or (#14654).
Cell Lysate Pre-Clearing (Highly Recommended)
A cell lysate pre-clearing step is highly recommended to reduce non-specific protein binding to the Protein G Magnetic beads. Pre-clear enough lysate for test samples and isotype controls.
Briefly vortex the stock tube to resuspend the magnetic beads.
IMPORTANT: Pre-wash #70024 magnetic beads just prior to use:
Transfer 20 μl of bead slurry to a clean tube. Place the tube in a magnetic separation rack for 10-15 seconds.
Carefully remove the buffer once the solution is clear. Add 500 μl of 1X cell lysis buffer to the magnetic bead pellet, briefly vortex to wash the beads. Place tube back in magnetic separation rack. Remove buffer once solution is clear. Repeat washing step once more.
Add 200 μl cell lysate to 20 μl of pre-washed magnetic beads.
IMPORTANT: The optimal lysate concentration will depend on the expression level of the protein of interest. A starting concentration between 250 μg/ml-1.0 mg/ml is recommended.
Incubate with rotation for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Separate the beads from the lysate using a magnetic separation rack, transfer the pre-cleared lysate to a clean tube, and discard the magnetic bead pellet.
Proceed to immunoprecipitation section.
Add primary antibody (at the appropriate dilution as recommended in the product datasheet) to 200 µl cell lysate. Incubate with rotation overnight at 4°C to form the immunocomplex.
Pre-wash magnetic beads (see Cell Lysate Pre-Clearing section, steps 1 and 2).
Transfer the lysate and antibody (immunocomplex) solution to the tube containing the pre-washed magnetic bead pellet.
Incubate with rotation for 20 min at room temperature.

Phospho-β-Arrestin 1 (Ser412) (6-24) Mouse mAb detects endogenous levels of β-arrestin 1 only when phosphorylated at serine 412. The antibody does not cross-react with beta-arrestin 2.
Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser412 of human β-arrestin 1.
Arrestin proteins function as negative regulators of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling. Cognate ligand binding stimulates GPCR phosphorylation, which is followed by binding of arrestin to the phosphorylated GPCR and the eventual internalization of the receptor and desensitization of GPCR signaling (1). Four distinct mammalian arrestin proteins are known. Arrestin 1 (also known as S-arrestin) and arrestin 4 (X-arrestin) are localized to retinal rods and cones, respectively. Arrestin 2 (also known as β-arrestin 1) and arrestin 3 (β-arrestin 2) are ubiquitously expressed and bind to most GPCRs (2). β-arrestins function as adaptor and scaffold proteins and play important roles in other processes, such as recruiting c-Src family proteins to GPCRs in Erk activation pathways (3,4). β-arrestins are also involved in some receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathways (5-8). Additional evidence suggests that β-arrestins translocate to the nucleus and help regulate transcription by binding transcriptional cofactors (9,10).
Erk1/2 constitutively phosphorylates β-arrestin 1 at carboxy-terminal Ser412, which promotes cytosolic localization of the scaffold protein (11). Agonist stimulation of β2-adrenergic receptors results in recruitment of β-arrestin 1 to the plasma membrane and rapid dephosphorylation of arrestin. Dephosphorylation is an essential step of β-arrestin 1-mediated receptor endocytosis, but it is not required for receptor desensitization (12).

Griffith Film School
Film School glory screens at Cannes Festival
Published May 12, 2015 May 13, 2015 AuthorContributed
Young Australian filmmaker Isabel Stanfield is in France this week, taking her two films to the prestigious Cannes International Film Festival.
The 23-year-old Griffith Film School graduate plans on spending ten days soaking up the atmosphere, making contacts and networking with the world's best.
"It will be amazing to just be there and be a part of the world's biggest film festival," she says.
Griffith is the only Australian film school invited to screen at the prestigious Festival and this trip marks the seventh year students have been offered the invaluable opportunity, says Professor Herman Van Eyken.
Isabel during filming of Gokanosho: Lost in Time, which she produced.
"It is the ideal opportunity for the next generation of filmmakers to make industry connections that may launch a coveted international career," he says.
"We give students all the logistical support they need to attend – we send their films, we organize their artwork, provide all the supporting documentation and prepare them for the immersive environment.
"Being at Cannes is incredibly intensive, but that's exactly why it works and can't be replicated anywhere else."
Each film from Griffith will be screened in the Cannes Court Metrage; an initiative within the festival designed to encourage emerging talent, featuring more than 2,000 registered films from more than 90 countries worldwide.
Isabel's solo film Solitaire will screen at Cannes, along with Gokanosho: Lost in Time, a film she produced with her partner and Director Caleb De Leon during their graduate year at the Griffith Film School.
Gokanosho: Lost in Time is a short documentary about family, tradition and culture in the modern age, as it captures the lives of residents from a collection of villages in rural Japan.
The Griffith Film School graduates on location in Gokanosho, Japan during their final year of study.
Isabel explains that some 700 years ago, samurai lost a battle and fled into the mountains, establishing the idyllic village of Gokanosho in Japan, which still remains today.
"With only 350 residents, and one third aged over 75, the region sadly faces depopulation and is now at risk of fading away," she says.
"Being from a small town myself, growing up in Boonah, my heart really went out to them, so it was the people and their lives and stories that we wanted to capture.
"Our final interview was with Shingo, one of the direct descendants of those samurai who was able to roll out a scroll for us with his entire family tree spanning all generations from the last 700 years," she says.
As an Honours College student at Griffith, Caleb was awarded federal government funding as part of the New Colombo Plan, which allowed he and Isabel, alongside two other students, to journey to the tiny village in Japan.
Gokanosho: Lost in Time premiered at the Silver Springs International Film Festival in Florida, US last month.
Watch a sneak peek of the short film on the crew's facebook page.

1 We are the UKs largest domestic conveyancing directory service identifying mortgage company approved law firms conducting conveyancing in Temple Fortune registered with the SRA or CLC.
2 No matter what any other on-line conveyancers inform you it may be important to attend your conveyancer to execute documents. Too many 3rd parties are already with an interest in a conveyancing transaction without having to add Royal Mail into the mix.
4 This site is the only site offering you the ability to ensure that your conveyancing in Temple Fortune will be carried out by a law firm on your lender's conveyancing panel.
Is it realistic for conveyancing in Temple Fortune to be completed in a month?
First, If the seller is applying time constraints to exchange we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local connections and intelligence. It is possible that they would have conducted previoushouses in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Temple Fortune conveyancing firm. Second, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is claimed that nearly one in five of Temple Fortune conveyancing transactions are suspended or derailed after discovering a buyer's solicitor was not on their mortgage lender's member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the conveyancing being held up by an average of 21 days. It is understood that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Most Temple Fortune conveyancing practices can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to visit the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Temple Fortune so that I can pop in to their offices if necessary.
These days conveyancing panel lawyers for lenders undertake their communications through the post, internet or over the phone. This enables them to carry out the legal work for your home move regardless of where you live in the country. However you can check if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if needed.
Do I find a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Temple Fortune?

An auction property should have a bespoke legal set of papers. This will likely include most,if not all of the documents that your conveyancer requires. If you have purchased leasehold premises the auction pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises. You must give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
How can we know in advance if a Temple Fortune conveyancing solicitor on the Nationwide panel is any good?

How does conveyancing in Temple Fortune differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Temple Fortune approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Temple Fortune typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Temple Fortune or who has acted in the same development.
Please note that the listed conveyancers do not limit their work for conveyancing in Temple Fortune but also conveyancing across England and Wales.

Q: Make radio button uncheck itself when clicking on it with jquery For a set of radio buttons where the 2nd of 3 options is checked, how can I make it un-check when clicking on the checked option (the same behavior as as unchecking a checkbox)?

A: Try adding a dummy radio option and hide it with display:none

<form>
   <input type="radio" name="gender" value="male" checked> Male

   <input type="radio" name="gender" value="female"> Female

   <input type="radio" name="gender" style="display:none" value="other">
</form>

Then your JS would be:
var currentValue;
  $('form>input').click(function(){
    if(currentValue===$(this).val())     {
      $(this).parent().find('input:last-child').click();
      currentValue=$(this).parent().find('input:last-child').val();
    }
    else{
      currentValue=$(this).val()
    }
  });

In JS we check if the click was on actual checked option and if so, it chooses the dummy option so the radio 'unchecks' visually. Hope that helps you.


A TV news presenter who made headlines for sending photos of herself in a bikini to a married man has been arrested for punching a police officer in the face.
Emmy Award-winning Alycia Lane hit the female officer in Manhattan in the early hours of yesterday morning, police in New York have revealed.
Police have so far provided no information about what led to the incident.
The officer was treated at a hospital for a cut and was released.
Lane, 35, was arraigned on a charge of assaulting a police officer and pleaded not guilty, said her lawyer David Smith.
Lane co-anchors evening newscasts at KYW-TV, a CBS affiliate in Philadelphia.
Station spokeswoman Joanne Calabria said management was "very concerned for Alycia".
"We are still trying to sort out exactly what happened," Calabria said in a statement.
Lane, who lives in Philadelphia, was released from police custody Sunday and was scheduled to appear in court in April.
"We're confident that after a full investigation of the facts she'll be cleared of these charges," Mr Smith added.
Lane made national headlines in May after she e-mailed vacation pictures of herself and friends wearing bikinis to NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen.
The shots were intercepted by Eisen's wife, who responded with a snarky message to Lane.
Lane said the pictures were meant to be good fun between old friends, not an attempt to break up Eisen's marriage.
Besides Lane's Philadelphia news role, she also has hosted CBS 3's annual "Best of Philly" specials and its "Holiday Traditions" special, for which she won a local Emmy in 2005.

Pathways to the Profession: Trevor Stankiewicz L'23
A recipient of the Mead Fellowship, Trevor Stankiewicz L'23 is interning at Fortify Rights, a global nonprofit that works to ensure human rights for all people.
Trevor Stankiewicz L'23 is a 2L from Oakhurst, NJ. He graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Performing & Media Arts. He is interested in international human rights law.
I am honored and grateful to be interning at Fortify Rights this summer. Fortify Rights is a global nonprofit that works to ensure human rights for all people. They investigate human rights violations, engage people with power on solutions, and strengthen the work of human rights defenders. I have received the Mead Fellowship to fund my summer work, which is made possible through the generosity of Scott Mead L'82. While almost all of the Fortify Rights team is based in Southeast Asia, I am working remotely from the United States.
In February of this year, a military coup occurred in Myanmar. The junta deposed of the rightfully elected government and have since arrested, tortured, and murdered peaceful protestors throughout the country. The National Unity Government (NUG), a civilian government formed in response to the coup, is seeking recognition from the international community as the legitimate government of Myanmar. We are developing strategies to ensure governments recognize the NUG rather than the illegal junta. Much of my work this summer has been focused on researching previous military coups and the international responses. I have written briefs, legal memos, and contributed to reports that help to position the current situation in Myanmar within the historical context of military coups.
The team at Fortify Rights is composed of some of the most intelligent, passionate, and generous people I have ever had the privilege to work with. Despite the time difference, my colleagues routinely wake up early or stay up late to discuss projects as well as to help me feel like a part of the "Fortifam," as they are affectionally called. Having only completed one year of law school, I was worried that I would feel overwhelmed, but everyone is endlessly supportive and patient of my questions and inability to remember acronyms. Through their guidance and mentorship, I have grown as a professional and an advocate. I also now have plenty of couches to sleep on the next time I am in the region.
I cannot imagine completing this internship without having taken International Law with [Richard Perry Professor of Law] William Burke-White. I frequently binge-watch his Panopto Recordings and reach out to my classmates to help guide my work. Similarly, all of the writing I have produced is grounded in the teachings of my Legal Practice Skills professor, [Visiting Senior Lecturer] Jennifer Fried L'01, and Littleton Writing Fellow Alana Bevan L'21.
Before attending law school, much of my career was focused on documenting tragedies. I made the decision to attend law school because I wanted to be part of the solution to these problems rather than to just raise awareness about them. I am grateful to have the opportunity to see this goal realized with Fortify Rights. I look forward to carrying this experience with me throughout my next two years at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School.

Daniel Pearl, Brutally Murdered 20 Years Ago, But The Key Lesson Wasn't Learned
Pearl wasn't murdered because he was an American. He was killed because he was a Jew and a Zionist
by Jeff Dunetz | Feb 2, 2022 | Faith/Morality, Israel
Daniel Pearl brutally murdered
The prisoner, an American whose father was born in Israel, was surrounded by cowardly men covering their faces. The prisoner looked into the camera and said, "My father is Jewish, my mother is Jewish, I am Jewish." That's the part the media covered so they could tell a story about Antisemitism. But Pearl added a statement about his Zionist history, "Back in the town of Bnei Brak, there is a street named after my great-grandfather Chaim Pearl, who is one of the founders of the town." The media ignored that part because it told a story they didn't want their audience to understand. Anti-Zionism is the same thing as Antisemitism. When Daniel Pearl was done with his statement, terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed brutally hacked his head off in front of the whole world, and a video of his beheading was posted on Facebook.
That incident occurred on February 1st. This year was twenty years after that horrific day. The memory of how Daniel Pearl was murdered still resonates in the hearts of some people in this country, but it's forgotten by most. And the lesson the world should have learned is that the terrorists hated Israel, and because of that, they killed a Jew.
Pearl was lured into his capture because he wanted to give the terrorists an opportunity to tell their side of the story. He was murdered because he was a Jew. Except for Jewish media, most secular media reported his last words but explained that his head was hacked off because he was an American. Based on his final words, it wasn't what Daniel Pearl thought.
Sadly, Daniel Pearl's murder is relegated into the deep crevices of our collective memories. It is also sad that many among us view the man who hacked off Pearl's head, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, is considered a martyr by liberal Americans because he was blindfolded and showered with water–they complained his treatment was torture. They remembered the killer was waterboarded but do not remember his act of brutally murdering this American Jew, leaving his wife a widow, and causing his son (who was born months after his death) to has grown up without his father.
I ask you…which one act was real torture, waterboarding the man who murdered Daniel Pearl or having one's head hacked off with a knife? And by knife I do not mean the swift executioner's blade, but Daniel Pearl's head was literally cut off with back-and-forth movements as one would slice off a piece of steak. I also ask why didn't people speak out that their TV news? downplayed that a reason Daniel Pearl was murdered was his Jewish faith and his connection to Israel.
At the time of Pearl's murder, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, tweeted a message that seemed to indicate that it was Pearl's fault:
"Daniel Pearl's story is a reminder that individual accountability and reconciliation are required to break cycles of violence."
Powers was forced to take down the tweet but received no punishment.
Four years after Daniel Pearl's murder, his dad, Judah Pearl, wrote an op-ed for the newspaper his son wrote for The Wall Street Journal:
"One of the things that sadden me most is that the press and media have had an active, perhaps even major role in fermenting hate and inhumanity. It was not religious fanaticism alone.
This was first brought to my attention by the Pakistani Consul General who came to offer condolences at our home in California. When we spoke about the anti-Semitic element in Danny's murder she said: "What can you expect of these people who never saw a Jew in their lives and who have been exposed, day and night, to televised images of Israeli soldiers targeting and killing Palestinian children."
"At the time, it was not clear whether she was trying to exonerate Pakistan from responsibility for Danny's murder, or to pass on the responsibility to European and Arab media for their persistent dehumanization of Jews, Americans and Israelis. The answer was unveiled in 2004 when a friend told me that photos of Muhammad Al Dura were used as background in the videotape of Danny's murder."
Al Dura, readers may recall, is the 12-year-old Palestinian boy who allegedly died from Israeli bullets in Gaza in September of 2001. As we now know, the whole scene is very likely to have been a fraud, choreographed by stringers and cameramen of France 2, the official news channel of France. France 2 aired the tape repeatedly and distributed it all over the world to anyone who needed an excuse to ratchet up anger or violence, among them Danny's killers.
The Pakistani Consul was right. The media cannot be totally exonerated from responsibility for Daniel's murder, as well as for the "tsunami of hate" that has swept the world and continues to rise.
Many do not understand that from the day the faith was created, Judaism was a nation of people with the same faith. Because of their faith, the Jewish nation was ordered to live on the land that what is now called Israel,
Jews and Christians each believe that Genesis chapter 12 begins with God telling Abram (Abraham):
And the Lord said to Abram, "Go forth from your land and from your birthplace and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you." [That land is now called Israel.] "And I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will aggrandize your name, and [you shall] be a blessing."
However, much of the mainstream media, even reporters who observe the Christian or Jewish faiths, separate Anti-Zionism and hatred of Israel from Antisemitism. For those who don't understand Zionism, it is simply the belief that the Jewish nation should have a state in its eternal homeland (Israel).
Judah Pearl mentioned the Al-Dura case. The American media rushed to make that story a lead story in the mainstream media. It was a cause of the second intifada leading to the deaths of Israelis and Palestinians. But the hatred went beyond the Middle East. Antisemitism rose across the Western World, leading to attacks and murders of Jews such as Daniel Pearl. The MSM kept showing the pictures of the boy hiding behind his father as they were supposedly shot by the IDF.
The media didn't investigate the Al Durah story as they would do with other stories. Eventually, the whole tape was found. It showed that the entire incident was a set-up, a false slander of the Jewish nation using Israel as their excuse.
the UN recognizes that anti-Zionism is Antisemitism because they use the term interchangeably. The 2001 UN World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerance in Durban quickly became a disgusting display of Antisemitism and anti-Israel Propaganda. It is there that the "Durban Strategy" was formulated, delegitimizing the Jewish State via branding it as a racist entity. Copies of the anti-Semitic work The Protocols of the Elders of Zion were sold on conference grounds; fliers depicting Hitler with the question, "What if I had won?" were circulated among conference attendees.
"Durban simultaneously hosted a UN conference of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). According to the UN, the NGO conference aimed to publicize the "voices of the victims." In this forum, the Jewish Caucus proposed that Holocaust denial and anti-Jewish violence caused by Jewish support for Israel be labeled forms of antisemitism. The proposal was almost unanimously defeated. Anne Bayefsky, an NGO participant and a representative of the International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists, commented. "
"The only group that voted for it was the Jews. Of all the 'voices of the victims' put into the resolution, only one voice was deleted – the Jewish voice."
Rep Ilhan Omar (D-MN) made statements displaying her belief that there was no difference between Antisemitism and hate of Israel. For example, before she was elected, she tweeted that Israel had "hypnotized" the world. That's an age-old anti-Semitic claim that Jews had the power of mind control. She used it against Israel.
In 2019 Omar used another anti-Semitic canard that Jews were rich. But she didn't use it about Jews, her words were slander against Zionism the belief that the Jewish nation should have a state in its eternal homeland (Israel). Omar described the Congressional support of Israel by tweeting, "It's all about the Benjamins baby." Some Congressional Jews refused to believe that Omar's statements about Israel were anti-Semitic. For example, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) blamed the GOP, and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was silent as he usually is about anti-Semitic acts.
There are too many other examples to list here. But the key lesson which is still ignored is that most people don't understand that haters of Israel are really expressing their Antisemitism.
May God continue to comfort Daniel Pearl's bereaved family, and may his memory always be for a blessing.
And may people remember what God said to Abraham. The Jewish people are a nation, which addressed that the hatred of Israel or Zionism is Antisemitism
I work with an organization to try and change the world's misconceptions about Judaism and Zionism…the Zionist Herut Movement. Herut is an international movement for Zionist pride and education and is dedicated to the ideals of pre-World War Two Zionist leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky. Jeff Dunetz (The Lid) is an active member and on the board of the organization. More about Herut can be found at www.HerutNA.org–Please click on this link and consider joining me in this great organization.

Migos Add Fuel To Breakup Rumors By Pulling Out Of Governor's Ball
by Aidan C Werder on June 09, 2022
Popular NYC musical festival, Governor's Ball, announced via Twitter yesterday: "Due to circumstances out of our control Migos are no longer performing at Gov Ball."
This news comes just two days before the Migos were scheduled to perform this Friday, June 10th, further fanning the flames of the breakup rumors that have been circulating in recent weeks.
Rumors of discord within the previously rock-solid superstar rap trio first began to swirl last month when fans noticed that Offset had unfollowed both Quavo and Takeoff on social media, along with his wife Cardi B.
Quavo and Takeoff seemed to confirm the speculation when they announced their joint single, "Hotel Lobby" just a few days later – even referring to themselves as "Unc & Phew" in what seems like it could be the birth of a new duo.
There have been a lot of questions around the potential breakup of one of hip hop's favorite groups, and few answers. Their label-mate, Lil Yachty, didn't exactly inspire confidence when he refused to offer any insight into the situation on Off the Record last week, while Akademiks floated the theory that this may all be a stunt for publicity.
Time will tell if this is really the end for the Migos, undeniably one of the greatest rap groups in modern history. While they won't be performing at year's Governor's Ball, attendees shouldn't be too disappointed as Lil Wayne is reportedly stepping in to replace the Migos.

June 5th, 2013 . Categories: Artists, INTERVIEWS.
Gabriel J. Shuldiner is a native New Yorker. A fact he happily, proudly proclaims. This very cool and casual artist finds inspiration in numerous sources, none more so than the color black. What ensued was a lively conversation on painting, fashion, music, and life.
I feel that I'm constantly inspired by almost everything around me, whether it's the cracks in the infrastructure or the glitches in the concrete. Science and philosophy fascinate me: dark matter, black holes, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus. On a formal level, however, I feel heavily inspired by (probably my favorite artist ever) Pierre Soulages. He's worked in black for 60 years. Robert Ryman, Richard Serra, Antoni Tapies, Japanese calligraphy and Zen Koans. Music… layers of distortion… thick heavy beats… Sonic Youth, Eric B. & Rakim, Autechre. Yohji Yamamoto and Ann Demeulemeester… My interests and inspirations are fast. The common denominator is black.
How has graffiti figured into your life and your work?
I was heavily influenced by graffiti growing up in Manhattan. I was mesmerized by it. I just loved to look at it. The subways were amazing, once. From the beginning I was confused and SHOCKED that "they" didn't consider graffiti "art" just as "they" didn't consider "rap" "music". Ha! "They" are always so wrong. Perhaps that's why I've always loved graffiti and loved early rap, because "they" said you shouldn't. I've always had a thing for underground burgeoning genres in music, film, fashion, and art. There is energy, passion and truth there. In a previous incarnation in the 90's I dabbled in tagging and slapping stickers every now and again all over Manhattan and in my private notebooks. Occasionally I would also steal discarded NYC street signs and go at them with spray paint. I never showed anyone. Around that same time I dabbled in heavily layered black and white photography; but it wasn't until I finally got myself out of a sick and dying music industry (I had been doing A+R and marketing—as I said—in a previous incarnation) that I made the decision to devote myself exclusively to my art, partly out of need (it was a dark time, art totally saved me) but also out of passion. There was literally NOTHING else I wanted to do. It took awhile for me to even realize and accept that fact; but art has always been really and truly all I have ever wanted to do. I just thought I couldn't. I was wrong. Today there are definitely elements of graffiti in some of my work. Somewhere the abstract minimal and conceptual converge and collide.
Tell me about your work and what materials you use?
I use a variety of materials. No material is off limits. Carbon black is definitely a recurring element, as all life and all death is shrouded in carbon. From ash to diamonds, it's all carbon. That's the black. Usually some form of carbon black that I modify into my own elusive hybrid composite material I've developed and call "postapocalypticBLACK™". I also incorporate acrylic polymers, Japanese sumi ink, spray paint, oil enamel, graphite, and oil stick. I use traditional cotton canvas and Belgian linen, recycled cardboard, recycled polystyrene, wood, steel, and glass. I am fascinated by how different materials work together, or how they don't, and how I make them work together.
PURSUIT OF MAGIC : postapocalyticBLACK™, modified acrylic polymer emulsion, carbon black pigment, gesso, oil enamel, high heat enamel spray paint, museum glass, artist's wood frame, fluorescent enamel spray paint, wall.
BLACK_PROMETHEUS one of a kind absolute BLACK opaque steel nail sunglasses : postapocalypticBLACK™, modified acrylic polymer emulsion, carbon black pigment, gesso, high heat enamel spray paint, oil enamel, resin, original ray ban sunglasses, steel nails.
What is Fashion for you and who is a true designer in your opinion?
Regardless of one's own personal style, for me, fashion is simply about the individual wearing the clothes and NOT the clothes wearing the individual. It's a subtle statement, with profound consequences. NO ONE would admit to the latter; but it happens. It happens A LOT. I can't describe it any better than that. You know it when you see it. I am partial to BLACK, which means I'm loving Boris Bidjan Saberi, Julius, Gareth Pugh. I love Ann [Demeulemeester] and Yohji [Yamamoto]… the list goes on. I LOVE Alexander McQueen. I LOVE Sally Lapointe. To me a well-constructed garment is like a well executed paining. It's art. Typically, a painting hangs on a wall; a dress hangs on you. With my own wearable objects and jewelry, I like playing with and distorting this basic premise. My own personal style is a bit more utilitarian: BLACK t-shirt and army fatigues. It goes with everything. I have about 100 of each.
As a New Yorker, what makes New York unique and interesting?
Everything about this town is great. Certainly a lot has changed. It always has; but it's still NYC, and it will always be. Everyone still wants to come here to 'make it'. I would say the creative energy here is unique. A cultural artistic fashion Mecca. Maybe that's changing. Maybe it's not. Everyone has their opinion; but that's what makes NYC so amazing. It's always changing and the "locals" are always "complaining" about that fact. I'm born and raised in Manhattan. I've become a rare-breed. I feel it's my artistic duty to stay and represent. In a way, I suppose my work is, in fact, about Manhattan. Everyone seems to wear black here. It's an extension of that fact.
Painting. I am happy when I'm creating art. It's really that simple.

Stemming the Tide: How to Retain Diverse Employees in the Great Resignation

As we enter the final stretch of 2021, many businesses have focused on how to move forward in the wake of what has come to be known as the "Great Resignation."
In July 2021 alone, 4 million Americans quit their jobs. By the end of the month, there were 11 million open positions and a variety of employers stuck looking in the mirror, wondering where they went wrong and where people were going.
The trend has seen much of the gains made by diversity initiatives take a hit as people examine what they want from life and their careers. Many employees no longer wish to deal with commutes, unreasonable hours, the stress of corporate life, or office politics. For underrepresented groups specifically, the pandemic has hit their communities hard, and many simply don't see what they want for their futures in their current workplace as it currently stands.
Retaining diverse talent is directly tied to maintaining the productivity of the teams that make up your organization. As companies contemplate talent retention in general, or in some cases, expand the retention focus to include a contingent workforce, the prioritization of diversity and a culture of inclusion can't fall by the wayside.
Focus on the Experience
The pandemic has been something of an awakening for many people in the workforce. Working from home showed a lot of people how much of their lives were spent commuting, and as people got sick or lost family members to the virus, they began to think about the finite nature of life and what they ultimately wanted from it.
For many people, the realization that they weren't happy in their work or with their current employer and needed to do something about it was enough to motivate a change. Now more than ever, if people aren't pleased with how they're treated, what a job does for their professional development, the flexibility it provides, and their compensation, it won't be long before they hand in their notice.
From the moment they start to the termination of their employment, the experience of working at your company will drive loyalty, engagement, and the integrity of your employer brand. This turnover journey is doubly true for employees from diverse backgrounds. They've seen the pay data and the opportunities out there, and they know the talent and skills they possess. If you don't value them, someone else will. If you don't create a culture that allows them to be themselves and be heard and respected, they'll simply move on.
In an era where social consciousness is growing, people are coming to understand the bigger picture around organizational cultures, their long-term prospects, and what diversity brings to the table. This reality isn't even limited to underrepresented groups and is true for all employees. If people look around and don't see diverse colleagues, questions start to arise around the organization's values and whether this is the type of workplace where employees can see themselves in the years to come.
When attempting to overhaul employee experience, many companies focus on technology that can make someone's job easier. While important, technology should also be leveraged to regularly gain a better sense of how employees feel at work, be it through surveys or regular face-to-face check-ins with remote employees.
Technology is also valuable in gathering data around employee sentiments and providing access to services for mental health, financial counseling, learning and development, and ERGs. Ensuring access to the full range of resources your company offers will help you ensure that employees feel invested in and connected to the organization across all levels.
Have Equity Conversations
A major focus of social justice movements has been equity. Going beyond how your organization treats underrepresented groups, it's time to address how they are compensated and ensure pay aligns with their role and importance to the organization.
Digging into your data to understand where you can do better in terms of representation across all levels of the organization and pay will help equity conversations. To drive inclusion, bring people from underrepresented groups into the conversation to find out what equity means to them and to better understand how you can level the playing field. It may not be tied to money in all cases, but there's likely an area where improvement is not only possible but needed.
READ: Addressing the Wealth Gap: Study Shows the Movement Toward Equity Has a Long Way to Go
Notably, employees trust other employees know what diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts should look like. According to a 2020 study from Glassdoor, 66% of employees say they trust each other around this subject more than senior leaders, recruiters, or the company's communications and marketing teams. Bringing them into the conversation around equity and using the insights gleaned from it to drive your strategy will lend an air of credibility and inclusiveness that will be missing if it's left to leadership alone.
As part of this, you'll want to understand the experience that diverse employees have during the hiring and onboarding process and look to make improvements so that future hires don't have to overcome the same biases or develop negative impressions of the organization from the start.
As KeyBank (No. 23 on The DiversityInc's Top 50 Companies for Diversity list in 2021) noted in a recent blog post, when it comes to having equity conversations, "the driving force of each conversation is consistent — the participants. Their unique perspectives will influence the dialogue. That's why it's important to know your ground when entering the conversation and respect that everyone else may have a different foundation based on their upbringings, mindsets, and experiences. Ask yourself, 'What unconscious biases am I bringing forward that will affect my engagement with the group?'"
Help Define Growth and Promote Diverse Leaders
Amidst talks of equity is another question of how diverse employees are promoted through the ranks at your organization and whether they see themselves reflected in leadership.
At Capital One (No. 28 in 2021), a commitment to diverse leadership has been shown not only in the company publicly sharing their diversity data but also at the board level, more than half of which is occupied by women or ethnically diverse employees.
Many companies have undergone efforts to transform their leadership profile in recent years with underwhelming progress for women and minorities. Whichever way you decide is the best going forward for your organization, make sure accountability and transparency in that journey are front and center. It's easy enough to make the public statements and say the right words, but these days, if people can't see it in your actions, they won't hesitate to take their talents to a company where diversity initiatives are taken seriously.
This sentiment is particularly true among workers under the age of 40 or Millennials and Gen Z employees. The National Association of Colleges and Employers asked new graduates to rank the importance of a diverse workforce every year since 2008. The list has grown in significance every year, but in 2020, "diverse workforce" was ranked as the seventh most important factor out of 19 options, with more than 79% of respondents saying it is "very important."
In the Glassdoor survey, 76% of all employees and job seekers said diversity, equity and inclusion are important factors when evaluating companies and job offers. More than 70% of Black and Hispanic employees say their employer should be doing more to increase the diversity of its workforce.
Looking at the data, companies need to prioritize the growth, health and engagement of diverse employees to satisfy modern expectations around DEI. Growth does not necessarily mean promotion, however. A pathway toward leadership will not be everyone's prerogative, so sitting with them to identify their ambitions and how the organization can help support their vision for their future is vital. Equal access to learning and training materials and identifying the skills and strengths of each employee is a good place to start.
Understand and Communicate the Importance of Intentions
Taking action toward ensuring a diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce isn't easy. There will likely be some uncomfortable conversations and criticisms to face from one employee segment or another along the way. At times like these, it's essential to keep actions aligned with intentions and clearly communicate those intentions with employees.
Intentionality is shown through the trajectory of your organization's DEI journey, and it's vital to communicate failures in addition to successes. Acknowledging failure and reaffirming intentions reassures employees that the organization hasn't lost sight of diversity goals and remains committed to building a workforce that reflects the society we live in.
When engaging with ERGs and diversity staff, intentions bear reiterating. Employees may grow frustrated by a lack of progress or even slow progress, but it's important to keep perspective. Understanding how the organization can do better and helping employees (including the separate ERGs) see where they fit into the equation will benefit a company's efforts to course-correct any stagnating DEI initiatives.
Talk About Employee Needs
Finally, when engaging with diverse employees, one of the most crucial things is simply listening. If you're actively listening, their needs and challenges will present themselves. Giving employees the space and time to express their input provides managers, directors, HR and executive teams a chance to analyze how the organization meets those needs and what else can be done to help employees thrive even in the most difficult of times.
The conversations you have may lead to the realization that the company has to review its benefits offerings. For frontline and entry-level workers, the costs and responsibilities tied to childcare can be a major hurdle in continuing with the company in their current capacity. Childcare assistance, career mapping to find other roles they could potentially fill or grow into and flexible work hours are all ways companies can help these employees remain committed to the organization.
When it comes to flexibility, it's something that employees of all backgrounds now expect. The pandemic revealed some truths about what can and can't be done remotely, as well as how easily asynchronous workflows can be adapted for a variety of roles and teams. If you're not providing some level of continued flexibility, employees will feel like their time and personal lives are not valued or respected by the organization.
It may present a challenge for the middle manager, but the time has come to teach managers to do their jobs differently — not solely based on in-person face time and looking over shoulders. Doing so will support the removal of bias from performance assessment and bases performance on the effectiveness of the work that is being done. In the end, all of these approaches are what employees want. Ultimately, these cumulative efforts are also what's best for the business, and they may help stem the tide of personnel headed for the exit door.

The problem with that assertion is that there is no proof of causation. Especially considering that those who carry for lawful self defense are safer and more law abiding than the general public. Both Texas and Minnesota track crimes committed by carry permit holders and both show this to be true. At the national level the Violence Policy's data shows the same thing in regards to deaths.
You know, Mark, it's pretty disturbing and offensive that you always choose to counter and criticize my facts but fail to recognize that there are victims of gun violence whose families have suffered their loss for years. All we want to do is to prevent it and you "law abiding" gun owners will not be affected by much if any of what we are suggesting. Just like smokers now have to smoke outside for the benefit of public health and the majority of us, if you gun owners are inconvenienced just a little for the sake of public safety, it won't hurt you a bit. Until you recognize this and stop being so resistant to any changes and laws that could keep the rest of us safe from gun violence, there is really not much more to say is there? I will continue to work with the majority of gun owners, who, unlike you, are interested in the common good and understand that their precious gun rights have some limits so that the rest of us can have the right to be safe.
I do recognize that there are victims of gun violence. However it doesn't further your argument when you cite an article that attempts to link violent crime with the lawful carry of firearms.
I know you're well aware of the reports published annually regarding the Minnesota carry permit system.
The data is quite clear that carry permit holders aren't fueling any increase in violent crime.
"Currently, Concealed Carry Killers documents 880 incidents in 40 states and the District of Columbia resulting in 1,082 deaths. In 87 percent of the incidents (762) the concealed carry killer committed suicide (398), has already been convicted (289), perpetrated a murder-suicide (58), or was killed in the incident (17). Of the 88 cases still pending, the vast majority (75) of concealed carry killers have been charged with criminal homicide, four were deemed incompetent to stand trial, and nine incidents are still under investigation. An additional 30 incidents were fatal unintentional shootings involving the gun of the concealed handgun permit holder. Eighteen of the victims were law enforcement officers. Thirty-one of the incidents were mass shootings, resulting in the deaths of 147 victims.
31 mass shootings is not insignificant. Without the gun and the permit to carry, those people would be alive today. There aren't too many mass knifings and don't send me any articles about the few cases there are compared to gun deaths.
As you most likely know. Protect Minnesota got the records from all counties about reasons why gun permits were denied all over the state and presented them to every legislator last session. It is not a pretty picture. Those are the "law abiding" folks who wanted a permit. People were demoed because of domestic abuse, danger to themselves or others, threats to others, driving while drunk ( while carrying a gun) and other such behavior. And worse, though sheriffs can deny people permits for what they think is good reason ( public safety) they are too often appealed and overturned because the law makes it difficult to deny a permit to carry a gun. (http://www.startribune.com/permit-appeals-get-guns-in-questionable-hands/191555661/)And that is what you guys wanted. And now the legislature would like permitless carry? That should be fun for all concerned. But then again, I don't believe you truly care about victims. You recognize them but you don't understand what it means and that hurts your case.
We know that firearms account for about 70% of total homicides. Some of those are by permit holders obviously. I would venture to say that those who killed someone with a gun are less law abiding than those who don't kill anyone. Your argument is flawed. I am, of course, talking here about gun violence. You always want to take a bird walk and talk about total crime.That is an issue of importance for sure but I am not blogging about total crime activity. I am blogging about gun violence.
I know you are relentless and determined to find fault with what I write but I have produced good evidence and facts for most everything I write. Take some time off now from my blog. It is a pretty nice Minnesota summer afternoon. Be safe and be careful out there. I will continue my day reflecting on the victims of gun violence and what it's like to lose a sister to gun violence.

Growth Transitions in India: Myth and Reality
By Pulapre Balakrishnan, Mausumi Das & M Parameswaran | 13 March 2021 Topics : Economic Policies, Economy, GDP, India, Indian Economy
Growth has consistently remained a central topic in economic policy considerations of the government in India. However, there has also been a more scholarly interest in it among social scientists. As a part of the latter tradition, this paper addresses the proper delineation of the phases of growth in India, a matter of some discussion in the literature.
The Interstate Variation in Mortality from COVID-19 in India
By Pulapre Balakrishnan & Sreenath K Namboodhiry | 7 February 2021 Topics : Covid-19, Health, Public Policy
While the response to COVID-19 by the Government of India has been more or less uniform across the country, in that a lockdown was imposed throughout, the death rate has varied across the states. This suggests that region-specific factors are likely to be relevant to the determination of this rate. A significant aspect of this study is the use of three different measures of the death rate in the empirical exercise.
The COVID-19 Pandemic and Gendered Division of Paid and Unpaid Work: Evidence from India
By Ashwini Deshpande | 1 October 2020 Topics : Covid-19, Employment, Gender, Incomes, India, Lockdown, Time Use
Examining high frequency national-level panel data from Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) on paid work (employment), unpaid work (time spent on domestic work) and incomes, this paper examines the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the gender gaps in paid and unpaid work through the lockdown and recovery phases. The first month of the national lockdown, April 2020, saw a large contraction in employment for both men and women, where more men lost jobs in absolute terms. Employment has recovered by August 2020 for men. However, for women, the likelihood of being employed is 9.5 percentage points lower than that for men, compared to the pre-pandemic period. Men spent more time on housework in April 2020, but by August the average male hours had declined, though not to the pre-pandemic levels. Time spent with friends fell sharply for both men and women in April, to recover in August, but not to the pre-pandemic levels. The paper also examines available income data to find the sharpest contraction of incomes in the rural sector for both men and women.
Unwanted Daughters: The Impact of a Ban on Sex Selection on the Educational Attainment of women
By Anisha Sharma & Garima Rastogi | 1 September 2020 Topics : Abortion, Discrimination, Economics Of Gender, Education, Fertility, India, Sex Ratio
We study whether legal restrictions on prenatal discrimination against females leads to a shift by parents towards postnatal discrimination. We exploit the staggered introduction of a ban on sex-selective abortions across states in India to find that a legal restriction on abortions in India led to an increase in the number of females born, as well as a widening in the gender gap in educational attainment.
Is COVID-19 "The Great Leveler"? The Critical Role of Social Identity in Lockdown- induced Job Losses
By Ashwini Deshpande & Rajesh Ramachandran | 1 July 2020 Topics : Caste, Covid-19, Employment, India, Lockdown
Using nationally representative panel data for 21,799 individuals between May 2018 and April 2020, this paper investigates whether the Covid-19 pandemic was indeed a "Great Leveler" in the sense that it imposed similar and equivalent labour market shocks on different caste groups. We find that while all caste groups lost jobs in the first month of the lockdown, the job losses for lowest-ranked caste are greater by factor of three. The data shows that the disproportionate effects stems from lower levels of human capital and over-representation in vulnerable jobs for the lowest ranked caste groups in the country.
