The Dress as a Metaphor in Muriel Spark's 1963 novella "The Girls of Slender Means"
A Schiaparelli dress functions as token of membership for the residents of the May of Teck Club in Muriel Spark's The Girls of Slender Means. The expensive couture dress, which most of the club's members would not be able to afford, is a symbol of the social and economic unification which temporarily arose in post-war Britain as a result of the devastation of the second world war. Rationing and commiserating over old luxuries periodically levels the social hierarchy established by the members of the May of Teck of Club. Within this system of rogue egalitarianism, the luxurious gown owned by a sassy younger club-member named Anne acts as a sartorial poker chip which enables the girls' social gambles.
"This marvelous dress," writes Spark, "caused a stir wherever it went."[1] Spark's language—Marvelous! Cause a stir! —mimics the language intoned by midcentury women's fashion magazines. Periodicals such as Vogue, Women's Wear Daily, and Town and Country spoke specifically to beehive-haired housewives and instructed such women on how to dress, what to cook, where to spend their next vacation, and perhaps most importantly, how to cultivate an image of allure. "Everyone's trying to take a peek," coos a Schiaparelli advertisement from the June 1955 issue of Women's Wear Daily.[2] The same advertisement encourages women to wear garments marked with "a frivolous flourish of fabulous details." This unmistakable style of "ad-lingo" flavored the sticky-sweet pages of women's magazines for the first half of the twentieth century and cultivated a forced sense of frivolity which sustained the notion of female consumers as societal frill. The page purrs, "so enchanting," inviting women to take the plunge into siren-dom and become as enchanting as the clothes they could so easily own and don. Netflix's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel acts as a contemporary example of mid-century ad-lingo aimed at women. The show's title alone—Marvelous!— bears the Sparkian reference to the unmistakable language of womenswear advertisements.
Spark, trained in the business of briskness, uses "marvelous" as a direct allusion to a commercialized writing style which is opposite of her own. Never intending to "cause a stir" as a writer, Spark's word choice represents exactly what separates her from the characters she crafts—conspicuousness. Spark's characters wear garish clothing and conduct loud phone calls which echo through the pages of her novels. "It's not me, it's a character," writes Spark in "My Conversion," as if testifying before a jury of readers.[3] Spark further distances herself from the antics of the attention-seeking literary crew of her own creation when she describes her writing style as "simply not caring too much."[4] The girls of slender means, on the other hand, care quite a bit. Selina, who possesses a "queenly eminence," cares so greatly about luxury and appearance that she re-enters the burning May of Teck club at the culmination of the novel with the sole purpose of salvaging Anne's coveted Schiaparelli dress.[5] Rather than maiming the rescued gown, the fire breathes life into the dress's symbolic tokenism. The gown, "long and limp and evidently light," becomes reborn in the arms of Selina—a phoenix feathered in charbroiled taffeta.[6] So lifelike is the dress that Nicholas "thought it was a body."[7] The scene's composition evokes an urban, wartime reincarnation of Michelangelo's Pieta in which Selena, "enfolding" the dress "carefully in her arms" becomes the marbled Virgin Mary and the dress, the soon-to-be resurrected Christ.[8] Thus, the scene functions as a veiled allusion to Spark's own conversion to Christianity and fulfills Spark's notion of the artist "as a minor public servant."[9] Selena, "approaching along the smoky passage" to save the life of a vintage dress, serves as the epitome of Spark's essential artist-figure.[10]

Q: Custom Field Type - create a custom address I follow the instruction from  Microsoft to create a custom address field type.
I have 3 address: visiting, postal, and invoicing. So I based on the SPFieldMultiColumnValue to implement. Following is the class of CustomAddress
public class CustomAddress : SPFieldMultiColumn
    {
        public CustomAddress(SPFieldCollection fields,
                                   string fieldName)
            : base(fields, fieldName) { }

        public CustomAddress(SPFieldCollection fields,
                                   string typeName,
                                   string displayName)
            : base(fields, typeName, displayName) { }

        public override BaseFieldControl FieldRenderingControl
        {
            get
            {
                BaseFieldControl ctr = new AddressFieldControl();
                ctr.FieldName = this.InternalName;
                return ctr;
            }
        }

        public override string GetFieldValueAsHtml(object value)
        {
            string HtmlLineBreak = @"<br />";
            SPFieldMultiColumnValue mcv = new SPFieldMultiColumnValue(value.ToString());
            string HtmlAddress = "";
            for (int i = 0; i < mcv.Count; i++)
            {
                HtmlAddress += mcv[i].ToString() + HtmlLineBreak;
            }
            return HtmlAddress;
        }
    }

I set mvc[0] as Visting address, mvc[ 1] as postal address and mvc [2] as invoicing address. Everything works fine for creating and editing item. However, I have issue with viewing item (DisplayForm.aspx). It just shows the visiting address only. Look like it just get the mvc[0] and ignore mvc[ 1] and mvc[ 2]. Please help!

A: Do you have an implementation of fldtypes_whatever.xml? That is where I have the pattern for the DisplayForm.aspx and all the fields seem to show up ok. Should be somewhat appropriate: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/toddca/archive/2009/01/23/customizing-the-rendering-of-a-custom-spfield.aspx

Anybody remember this game (Mr.Cool) from the VERY early days of Sierra?
March 8, 2006 at 7:38 am #29466 Reply
This was with the Ice Cube and the Hot Springs. Was the object of the game to cool of as many plates as you can?
Indeed, it was a game where an ice cube called Mr. Cool jumped from hot plate to hot plate in an attempt to change their colors to a pattern. It was based on the game Q*Bert…
I just googled the game and saw the box cover for Mr. Cool. I have played Q'bert on the arcades. I honestly did not like it much. I would always fall of the sides of the pyramid. If I know Sierra Mr. Cool was probably funner to play than Q'bert. At that time arcade games were the big thing. The buz was for games like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Astroids, Centipede almost in that order. PC games were only for those who could afford a PC at the time. My first computer was an 8088 with a Hercules monicrom graphics card. I started with games like Test Drive. When I got my $500 VGA monitor at the time I started with King's Quest II. If your please, describe the game play more!

As in other countries witnessing a similar migration, the fear isn't what they will do when they get there – but rather, like the alleged shooters from California, what they might do when they get home. But the tolerant, secular, and democratic Indonesia is the nation best positioned today to challenge the clash within Islamic civilization, and there are lessons from how Indonesians are fighting this battle that we can all learn from today.
Some of those lessons go back nearly a century. For 600 years, since it first arrived in Indonesia with traders from India in the 13th Century, Islam grew quietly and locallyacross many of the islands that make up this archipelago nation. But trouble began in the late 1800s, when Jakarta's colonial Dutch overlords began building steam ships and investing in ports, enabling many Indonesian Muslims to make the pilgrimage to Mecca for the first time. By 1885, Indonesians quickly became the largest contingent of pilgrims from any nation to visit the holy place revered as the birthplace of the prophet Mohammad, where he first received instruction from God.
While at Mecca, the pilgrims were exposed for the first time to the teachings of 18th Century Saudi cleric Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, who advocated a medieval interpretation of Islam that promotes the subjugation of women and encourages the violent deaths of all "infidels" who believe differently by such barbaric practices as stoning and beheading.
Many of these travelers returned to Indonesia much less tolerant of the Hindu-infused brand of Islam practiced at home and horrified by local rituals and superstitions that had been layered on the practice of Islam over the centuries. Many sought to purify it, often violently, by advocating a turn to Wahhabism while calling for the state to adopt a strict form of Muslim, or Sharia, law.
By January, 1926 – 90 years ago next month – moderate Indonesian Muslims had had enough. They came together to found an organization, called Nahdlatul Ulama, which is known as NU and translates to "The Renaissance of Islamic Scholars." NU was dedicated to a more humane, more tolerant interpretation of Islam while calling out Wahhabism as a gross distortion of God's commands. For the next nine decades – as Indonesia eventually won its independence from the Dutch in the 40s, lived under military dictatorship starting in the 1960s, and started on the road to becoming the world's largest Muslim democracy in the 90s – NU waged a constant battle against fundamentalists.
For two of those decades, NU was led by Abdurrahman Wahid, fondly know as Gus Dur. Blind and irreverent, Gus Dur was the grandson of an NU founder and the son of a former NU leader. He and I became friends in the early 1990s, nearly a decade before he was elected President of Indonesia in the country's first presidential election after three decades of authoritarian rule.
This very openness has made Indonesia a target in the age of al Qaeda and ISIS, both of which espouse a nihilistic version of Wahhabism. Over the past 15 years, a home-grown strain of al Qaeda, called Jema'ah Islamiyah, has brought Middle Eastern violence to Indonesia, often targeting western symbols. In 2000, bombings in 11 churches across Indonesia took 19 lives. In 2002, two explosions at a popular Balinese nightclub my wife and I often frequented, killing 202 people. In 2005, 20 more were killed in another bombing at a Bali resort. In 2003 and again in 2009, explosions at hotels in Jakarta took more lives.
In recent years, extremists have targeted symbols of the state itself, attacking Muslim police and military personnel. As the ISIS threat has grown in Syria and Iraq, NU -which is now the largest Muslim organization in the world, with 50 million members – has worked with local officials to combat what journalist Elizabeth Pisani has called the "Arabization of Islam in Indonesia." While government officials estimate that about 700 Indonesians have gone to fight for ISIS in the Middle East – including, in a few cases, entire families – widespread ISIS videos advocating violence haven't yet found a broad audience.
In fact, a recent global study by the Pew Foundation found that 79 percent of Indonesians condemn the actions of ISIS and only four percent support it – numbers much different than other Muslim majority nations like Pakistan, where just 28 percent of respondents voiced any disapproval of the Islamic State at all.
For Indonesia, the lessons for fighting a false and barbaric form of Islam are simple.
Second, cooperation counts. Indonesia's most effective counter-terrorism squad, known as Densus 88, was established by the Indonesian National Police, funded by the American government, trained by the Central Intelligence Agency, and coordinates constantly with the Australian Federal Police. In recent years, such coordination has stopped a 2012 plot to bomb the Indonesian parliament building and a planned 2013 attack on the embassy of Myanmar.
Third, lies need to be exposed publicly, and immediately. In a country where the majority lives in poverty and the economy is struggling, ISIS is promising to pay thousands of dollars each month. One motorcycle taxi driver made news recently when an ISIS representative told him he'd earn the equivalent of $3,800 per month if he joined. It was countered with highly publicized stories from other Indonesians who returned early from Syria – because they were never paid the high wages they were promised.
As American officials struggle to understand what radicalized alleged San Bernardino shooters Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia will continue to work every day to make clear, as a former U.S. Secretary of State once said, "if you want to know whether Islam, democracy, modernity, and women's rights can co-exist, go to Indonesia." Hillary Clinton was right when she spoke those words in 2009 – and with the NU's leadership, it will continue to be true for many decades to come.

Trams Introduces New Dashboard Technology for Travel Agencies
New Technology Increases Real-Time Visibility into Agency Operations
Southlake, TX – September 10, 2009 – Trams(R), Inc., a leading provider of back-office and customer relationship management (CRM) solutions for travel agencies, today introduced a new dashboard feature for its ClientBase CRM product. This ClientBase enhancement will provide an easy-to-read visual display of key information necessary to properly gauge and manage the operations of a travel agency.
Trams personnel will demonstrate the new dashboard for agents at next week's American Society of Travel Agents TradeShow event at booth number 827 in Las Vegas. Trams is a business unit of Sabre Travel Network(R), the world's leading provider of high-performance solutions for the travel industry.
Trams previewed the new dashboard for clients at last month's Trams 2009 Summer Camp in Scottsdale, Arizona. Over 160 travel agents, including over 50 agency owners and managers, were introduced to high-level concepts for working on their business, not just in their business. These agents recognize the necessity for interpreting and managing their data; the new dashboard offers a new window into viewing and measuring results in real-time.
The dashboard will be included in the user interface of the next ClientBase version, due to be released the first quarter of 2010. Historically, agencies would put data into their database, and at the end of the month run the necessary reports to see how they performed. The new ClientBase dashboard is designed to display key measurements, in real-time, and in a way that can influence daily behavior. Owners and managers, as well as frontline sales agents, can now access their data on the fly, while continuing to drive results within their agency.
"The data available in your database can be a powerful tool for steering the direction of your business," said Sharon Meyer, Chief Operating Officer of Trams, Inc. "But raw data needs to be transformed into meaningful insight, which is why dashboard technology is gaining popularity and why we are integrating it into our ClientBase solution."
The ClientBase dashboard will provide an integrated portal to Trams Crystal Reports. In addition, ClientBase will include a library of sales, marketing and management dashboard reports, enabling agencies to have complete flexibility in creating goals and delivering verifiable results.

Blackrock A.C. Run For Ukraine
by James Dowling | 0
Blackrock A.C. has been appalled by the recent events and developing war in Ukraine. The fighting is forcing over 2 million people to flee their homes and help is needed.
Like many sports clubs across Ireland and Europe, Blackrock A.C. features some prominent members from Ukraine.
Men's member Igor Pashchenko is doing incredible work on many fronts. One of which is hosting 7 Ukrainians in his home who have fled the war. Igor is the trustee of a charity which is currently being registered, Moral Fiber, that has been set up by a friend of his to raise much-needed funds.
As they have links to people on the ground they know exactly what is needed and all funds go directly there.
A Message from Igor
Blackrock A.C. is aiming to raise funds for this charity given Igor's involvement. We caught up with Igor over the weekend who had this to say.
"On February 24 Russia started a war in Ukraine. Russian troops target hospitals, schools and civil areas forcing people to flee in desperate search of a safe haven. Over 2 million Ukrainians have fled the country in just 10 days.
I have just had a call with my sister and she's decided to head towards Western Ukraine with her 12-year-old son Vova and 8-year-old daughter Milana. Their father volunteered to join the Ukrainian army in 2014 when the war started in Eastern Ukraine and has been defending the country ever since. He is staying to defend our hometown where my parents decided to stay till the end.
Many people can't leave their homes, are hiding from airstrikes in the metro, basements or under bridges. There's an acute need for humanitarian aid for Ukraine – from medical supplies to food and clothing. We have already purchased several batches of medical supplies for Ukraine and coordinated lorries with humanitarian aid. We're currently fundraising to purchase medical supplies for a regional hospital outside of Kyiv and to procure food, water and humanitarian aid for the people of Ukraine."
This weekend, Friday 11th – Sunday 13th March, Blackrock A.C. members and friends will take on the task of running the combined distance of Carysfort Park to Kyiv, some 3,024km. We also encourage members to wear yellow and blue, in line with the Ukrainian colours.
This can be done in one or more runs you may do over the weekend.
Log Your Distance
The combined distance will be measured by men's captain Rob Asher who has kindly set up our tracking (Google) form. Please enter your distance here and try get a nice photo too!
Donations Please!
You can donate in one of two ways to the cause. The most straightforward way is to head over to the GoFundMe pages that we have set up. One is sending donations to Irish Red Cross while the second is sending directly to Moral Fiber.

The first devastating images emerged today of the blood-soaked classrooms where 132 innocent children and 10 teachers were massacred by the Taliban.
Horrifying pictures revealed the carnage wrought by seven extremist gunmen who sprayed children with bullets as they sat receiving first aid tuition and exploded suicide bombs in a room of 60 pupils.
As the Pakistani city of Peshawar began the harrowing process of conducting mass funerals, the family of a teacher torched alive in front of her class gathered to say funeral prayers.
Tahira Kazi, the principal of the Army Public School and College in Peshawar, was set on fire by jihadists who slaughtered so many.
It is believed she was targeted because she is married to a retired army colonel, Kazi Zafrullah.
In a grim tour of the building photographers were shown inside the auditorium.
The floor is caked in blood in places and dozens of chairs lie in disarray, knocked over by children running for cover as the terrorists hosed them with bullets.
The lucky ones, it transpired, survived by playing dead under these chairs as the gunmen stalked the room, searching for children they'd missed.
As people around the world united to condemn the attack, the Taliban gloatingly published pictures of the fighters responsible for the slaughter.
A series of chilling images shows them lined up with assault rifles and rocket launchers.


Neural networks are simple models of the way the nervous system operates. The basic units are neurons, which are typically organized into layers, as shown in the following figure.
A neural network, sometimes called a multilayer perceptron, is basically a simplified model of the way the human brain processes information. It works by simulating a large number of interconnected simple processing units that resemble abstract versions of neurons.
The processing units are arranged in layers. There are typically three parts in a neural network: an input layer, with units representing the input fields; one or more hidden layers; and an output layer, with a unit or units representing the output field(s). The units are connected with varying connection strengths, or weights. Input data is presented to the first layer, and values are propagated from each neuron to every neuron in the next layer. Eventually, a result is delivered from the output layer.
The network learns by examining individual records, generating a prediction for each record, and making adjustments to the weights whenever it makes an incorrect prediction. This process is repeated many times, and the network continues to improve its predictions until one or more of the stopping criteria have been met.
Initially, all weights are random, and the answers that come out of the net are probably nonsensical. The network learns through training. Examples for which the output is known are repeatedly presented to the network, and the answers it gives are compared to the known outcomes. Information from this comparison is passed back through the network, gradually changing the weights. As training progresses, the network becomes increasingly accurate in replicating the known outcomes. Once trained, the network can be applied to future cases where the outcome is unknown.

What is happening in Britain ? Facebook is buzzing with friends who are tearing their hair out choosing primary schools for their kids. There's talk of league tables, achievement and attainment tables, Ofsted reports, gold standards, and most frightening of all feeder schools – are your kids going to be canabalised. It sounds excessivley complicated.
Out here in France, you just send you r kids to the school at the end the street, and if that in't good enough, you go private.
Call it living between two cultures – out here in France, I am often the « token Brit » the cultural reference and « expert » on things British. – There is always the inevitable question « Is it the same in Britain ?? » on subjects such tax, education, buying a house, buying a car, doing the weekly shop … Do they have supermarkets in Britain ? ….
And back in the UK, there are all those « What's it like in France » questions.
There are those Brits who tend think that onec they cross the Channel, they are entering the Third World.
What's medical care like in France ? Do they have hospitals ?
When you go shopping can you pay with your credit card ?
Okay – health care. Yes we have hospitals, but we don't always treat folks the same way. The occasion working on a campsite when I had to translate for a sick English lady – the doctor examined her, pronounced his diagnosis then prescribed medication in the form of suppositories – the lady was more than a little « shocked » up about the idea of shoving her medecine where the sun don't shine – but, medicine diffuses quicker in the body when you introduce it via the back door. It's the same with taking your temperature – the French stick the thermometer up their backside – Brits put it in their mouth – advice always sterilise that thermometer.
« Have you got schools in France ?
Well you feed your kids into the educational machine and they come out fully educated and formatted at the other end – a kind of educational/intestinal transit.
In France kids go to school in their sixth year BUT you can commit your kids into the state system at three years old. Ecole maternelle starts at three and it is universal and free and 99% of kids go. Most parents send their kids to nursery school and you send your kids to the nearest nursery school, which is attched to their future local primary school.
Formal education starts at 6 years old. Pop along to your local primary school in March, sign up your kids and … well you don't have the choice – all kids go to their local establishment.
We don't have applications or parental choice – the school is there and that is where you go.
So, if your local school is complete crap, or at least it does not correspond to your priorities, beliefs , values and expectations. Well you have to get around the system.
I have to add that in France there are no such things as league tables for schools. You send your kids to the local school, be it good or bad.
In France there is basically no such thing as parentam choice and officially there are no such things as league tables, though parents know what is a good school and what is a bad school and you will use the limited tricks on offer to get your kids into a good school.
French education is universal, fully comprehensive, free at source and obligatory from 6 years and upwards. I love the universality of our system.
I switched off on UK education years ago. I have ceased to understand the multiplicity of UK schools . I am fully committed to the French compréhensive system and what I appreciate most is the non-faith based secular approach. No religion in school.
In the UK, you want to get your kids into the local Anglican primary school. Prove to me that you are a regular Church-goer. Your local school is catholic – do you send your kids to confession ? Are they baptised in the faith ? This is rubbish.
Education is a basic human right. At primary level it should be free, non selective, non faith-based and in proximity to your home. If you want sélection that can come later at secondary level.
There are so many kids in the world not getting éducation and in the UK we are selecting kids for education at three or four years old. Sod it they will get and education.

Summary: Some dude got killed by some devilish girl, then resurrected by another devil to become her servant.
Personal comments: I don't know if it's just me, but it's giving me a distinct vibe that is very similar to Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. Not only the whole daemon king part feels the same, it also have the same excessive usage of similar R-rated fan service. But despite being fan service heavy, Daimaou actually has a pretty good story, I hope the story quality for DxD is on par here as well.


Facebook got a nod from Ontario's privacy commissioner Ann Cavoukian yesterday when the social media site announced the roll out of several new security features aimed at preventing online bullying and making the site safer for users.
"Bullying is a pet peeve of mine. I was bullied as a kid and I hated it. I think this is a positive development from Facebook," Cavoukian said in an interview with ITBusiness.ca.
Among the new features released by Facebook on Tuesday was a "social reporting tool" which allows users to notify members of their community, in addition to Facebook, when they see a post that they find to be harrassing or offensive. The feature not only enables the user to ask the poster of the image or comment to delete the post, but also gives the user the option to reach out to his or her Facebook connections to seek help.
"I like this feature because it mimics what people would otherwise do in the offline world if they have a problem," said Cavoukian. She said she liked Facebook's idea of encouraging people to open up and seek help from friends in order to resolve problems.
In other times, Facebook had received flak from Cavoukian and the Privacy Commissioner of Canada for the site's failure to protect its users' privacy rights.
"It's about time Facebook came out with these features," said information security expert Claudiu Popa, president of Informatica Corp.in Toronto.
Also yesterday, Facebook released a redesigned Family Safety Centre, an existing safety resources site for that contains articles and videos on safety and privacy. The site is aimed at parents, teachers and youths. In the coming weeks the site will offer a free downloadable guide on online safety.
Facebook also rolled out two-factor authentication to prevent the unauthorized access to a user's account. The feature asks a person to enter a code each time they try to log onto a Facebook account from a new device. The feature can be turned on or off by the account owner.
Earlier this year, Facebook introduced secure connections via HTTPS. Yesterday, the social media site tweaked the settings a bit so that if a user starts using a non-HTTPS application on Facebook, the site will automatically switch the session back to HTTPS when the user is done with the application. This alteration will enable users to enjoy games and apps that do not work with HTTPS, but also allow them to regain the security settings automatically after using the app.
During a live stream conference on Facebook yesterday, Arturo Bejar, a social engineer at Facbeook, explained the rationale behind the social reporting tool.
Previously, a Facebook feature allowed users to contact people who have posted their photos. With the feature, the user can send a direct message to the poster of the image. The default text says: "Hey, I didn't like this photo. Please remove." The user can change the text and also chose to immediately block or remove the poster from their list of friends.
On Tuesday, Facebook extended the feature to include status updates and profiles. Facebook profiles and updates tend to be where online bullying occurs, said Bejar.
"The basic insight was to mimic online how people deal with problems such as bullying or stalking in the offline world," he said.
Facebook said it plans to forward a copy of the harassing photo or post to a friend the user chooses.
Bejar said the social reporting tool encourages targets of online bullying or harassment to avoid isolation and seek out help from trusted friends or figures of authority."Safety has always been a social experience: as friends and family, we look out for each other and pass along advice to help each other stay safe," said Bejar.
A visit to the new Family Safety Centre yesterday found several brief safety and privacy advice articles and links to the Facebook Security Page. So far, 567 people said they "Like" the centre.
"There's nothing much there right now its more like a shell for other things to come," said Popa of Informatica. "It's a work in progress," said Commissioner Cavoukian.

Give one last gift – the gift of life – this holiday season
Free Red Cross long-sleeved T-shirts will be given to those who donate through Jan. 5.
PORTLAND — During this season of giving, the American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give the gift of life to help ensure patients don't have to worry about the availability of blood this winter. Blood and platelet donations of all types are needed, especially type O.
Holiday travel and severe winter weather often lead to a decline in blood donations. In Maine, seven blood drives have already been canceled since Nov. 1, resulting in 236 uncollected donations. However, a patient's need for lifesaving treatment doesn't take a vacation or stop for nasty weather. Blood and platelets are needed every day for those receiving treatment for cancer and leukemia, accident and burn victims and surgical patients, among others.
As a special thank you for being the lifeline for patients this holiday season, those who come out to give blood or platelets with the Red Cross through Jan. 5 will receive a long-sleeved Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last.
To schedule an appointment to donate, download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.
A blood donor card or driver's license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.
Upcoming blood donation opportunities:
Jan. 2: noon to 6 p.m., Martin's Point Scarborough, 153 US -1
Jan. 7: 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., Saint Maximilian Church, 150 Black Point Rd
Jan. 15: 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., South Portland Community Center, 21 Nelson Road
Jan. 13: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Cinemagic Grand, 333 Clarks Pond Road
Jan. 13 and 14: noon to 5 p.m., University of New England, 11 Hills Beach Road
Jan. 8: noon to 5 p.m., Old Orchard Beach Town Hall, 1 Portland Ave.
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. For more information, visit redcross.org or cruzrojaamericana.org, or visit us on Twitter at @RedCross.

An attempt of tiny gesture to spread the goodwill and better friendships today, I was happy to engage students of BE II Civil class at the Bhagwan Mahavir College of Engineering & Technology (BMCET) Surat. I was invited for conducting a talk on the subject that was revolving around basic sensitization about the technology of Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) along its application in diverse tasks pertaining to Civil Engineering discipline. I extend a sense of gratitude to Prof. Bhaumik Mengar, Prof. Nisha Soni (Head, CED) and Dr. R. R. Sawant, Director, BMCET. Also, inspirations of Dr. Vaishali Mungurwadi, Principal, SCET and support extended by Dr. P. A. Patel, Head, Faculty of Civil Engineering, SCET was motivating.
Here is the presentation that was discussed during 1.45pm till 4.15pm for extended reference of the students.


The mail service in South Africa is reasonably reliable, but mail can take weeks to arrive, and money and other valuables may be stolen from letters and packages. You can buy stamps at post offices, open weekdays 8:30 to 4:30 and Saturday 8 to noon. Stamps for local use only, marked "standardized post," may be purchased from newsstands in booklets of 10 stamps. PostNet franchises—a combined post office, courier service, business services center, and Internet café—are in convenient places like shopping malls and are open longer hours than post offices.
All overseas mail costs the same. At the post office a postcard is about R6.05, and a letter ranges from R5.90 to about R26.90, depending on size and weight.
Note that the first floor of a building is the one between the ground floor and the second floor. Mailing addresses are pretty straightforward. If they're not a street address, they're either a P.O. Box or a Private Bag—essentially the same, just differing in size. The only vaguely tricky variation is a postnet suite, which consists of a number, followed by a private bag and then a post office (e.g., Postnet Suite 25, Private Bag X25, name of town, postal code). Even the smallest town has its own postal code, and suburbs may have different postal codes—one for a street address and one for P.O. boxes.
If you make a purchase, try your best to take it home on the plane with you, even if it means packing your travel clothes and items into a box and shipping those to your home, or buying a cheap piece of luggage and paying the excess weight fees. If you buy something from a store accustomed to foreign visitors, it will likely already have a system for getting your items to you, often in a surprising few weeks' time.
Federal Express and DHL offer more reliable service than regular mail, as do the new Fast Mail and Speed Courier services, yet even these "overnight" services are subject to delays. PostNet, South Africa's version of Kinko's, also offers courier services. A parcel of up to about a pound (half a kilogram) will cost around R360 to send to the United States, and a one-kilogram parcel (2.2 pounds) will cost around R700.

Two of the nation's top-selling homebuilders are coming home to Cane Island.
Taylor Morrison and Highland Homes have announced plans to join the award-winning west Houston master planned community where both will add new family homes in Cane Island's second phase.
Taylor Morrison, ranked number seven among the nation's 100 top-selling homebuilders, will add new family homes on 60-foot Cane Island homesites while Highland Homes, number 21 in the 2017 rankings, will build new family homes on 55- and 80-foot homesites. New model homes by Taylor Morrison and Highland Homes, both fully furnished and expertly decorated, are expected to open in the spring.
Cane Island's other phase two homebuilders will be announced in the coming weeks. The second phase of the community of new homes spans just over 100 acres with more than 250 homesites.
The addition of Taylor Morrison and Highland Homes comes just after Cane Island celebrated its new direct accessibility to Interstate 10 via the extended Cane Island Parkway. Since the opening of Cane Island Parkway at Highway 90 in late October, new home sales in Cane Island are up 20 percent from the previous year.
Cane Island Parkway ultimately will be extended through the community's second phase north of Franz Road.
The carefully planned, 1,200-acre community officially opened in the spring of 2015 offering convenient I-10 access minutes west of the Grand Parkway, proximity to major west Houston employers and Katy ISD schools, including the all-new Bryant Elementary.
Since then, the 2016 Greater Houston Builders Association Community of the Year has attracted first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers and active empty nesters with new homes starting in the mid-$200's by CalAtlantic Homes, Coventry Homes, David Weekley Homes, Perry Homes, Shea Homes, Toll Brothers and Trendmaker Homes. Eleven fully furnished models homes are open daily. The community also offers The Estates at Cane Island, an exclusive gated section of luxury custom homes on half-acre homesites.
Residents enjoy unlimited access to the Cane Island Amenity Village and its 24-hour, two-story fitness center, yoga studio with 200+ on-demand videos, lap pool, family pool with poolside cabanas and water play area, café, tree house, loft with comfortable seating and outdoor fireplace, event center with commercial kitchen, and glass-enclosed Conservatory, ideal for private events, with a seasonal wall of fresh flowers.
The community's award-winning arrival experience features a three-acre lake with seven, 30-foot fountains and its impressive Living Arches, custom-made steel sculptures with thousands of individually controlled, programmable LED lights in glass leaves that change colors and patterns for the seasons.

Day 819: Inadequate.
4/18/2019 • 10 min read
1/ Attorney General William Barr repeatedly insisted that Robert Mueller "found no evidence" that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and that Russian efforts to interfere "did not have the cooperation of President Trump or the Trump campaign." Barr also claimed Mueller's report did not find "collusion" between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. Further, Barr said that even if the Trump campaign had colluded with WikiLeaks, that was not a crime. Mueller identified "numerous" Trump campaign-Russia contacts, but the report says there was "insufficient evidence" to establish a criminal conspiracy between Trump or his campaign aides and their contacts with Russians. The report outlines how Trump was elected with Russia's help and when a federal inquiry was started to investigate the effort, Trump took multiple steps to stop or undermine it. Barr said Mueller examined 10 "episodes" where Trump may have obstructed justice, but that he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein "disagreed with some of the special counsel's legal theories and felt that some of the episodes did not amount to obstruction." According to Barr, Trump acted out of "noncorrupt motives" because he was frustrated by Mueller's investigation, as well as media coverage that he felt was hurting his administration. (Washington Post / New York Times / Politico / NBC News / CNN / The Guardian / Bloomberg)
📌 Day 700: Trump's pick for attorney general criticized Mueller's obstruction of justice investigation in an unsolicited memo he sent to the Justice Department in June . William Barr said "Mueller's obstruction theory is fatally misconceived," claiming that Trump's interactions with James Comey would not constitute obstruction of justice, because Trump was using his "complete authority to start or stop a law enforcement proceeding." If confirmed as attorney general, Barr would oversee Mueller's work. (Wall Street Journal / New York Times / CNN / The Guardian / Washington Post)
READ: Barr's prepared remarks. (New York Times)
[BEFORE REPORT]: Mueller's report will reportedly be "lightly redacted" and is expected to reveal details about Trump's actions in office that came under scrutiny. According to an outline the Justice Department used to brief the White House with, Mueller did not come to a conclusion on the question of obstruction of justice because he couldn't determine Trump's intent behind his actions. Separately, the Justice Department will let a "limited number" of lawmakers review Mueller's report "without certain redactions, including removing the redaction of information related to the charges set forth in the indictment in this case." (Washington Post)
2/ Mueller's office chose not to charge Trump with obstruction out of "fairness concerns," because "we recognized that a federal criminal accusation against a sitting President would place burdens on the President's capacity to govern and potentially preempt constitutional process for addressing presidential misconduct." According to the report, Mueller considered Trump's written answers "inadequate," but knew a subpoena would impose "substantial delay" and they believed they had "sufficient evidence to understand relevant events and to make certain assessments without the President's testimony." Trump stated more than 30 times in his written answers that he "does not 'recall' or 'remember' or have an 'independent recollection'" of information investigators asked about. Mueller, citing numerous legal constraints in his report, declined to exonerate Trump, writing: "If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, however, we are unable to reach that judgment." (NBC News / Washington Post / New York Times / Politico / Wall Street Journal)
"GAME OVER," Trump tweeted immediately after Barr's press conference. Trump spent the morning tweeting about "Crooked, Dirty Cops and DNC/The Democrats" and complaining of "PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT." (NBC News)
📌 Day 666: Trump said he answered Robert Mueller's written questions himself "very easily," but he hasn't submitted them because "you have to always be careful when you answer questions with people that probably have bad intentions." Rudy Giuliani said there are at least two dozen questions that relate to activities and episodes from before Trump's election. Trump spent more than five hours in meeting over three days this week with his attorneys working out written answers for Mueller about alleged collusion between his campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election. Despite telling reporters that "the questions were very routinely answered by me," Trump's temper boiled during all three meetings. Seemingly out of nowhere, Trump targeted Mueller on Twitter yesterday, calling the special counsel team "thugs" and the investigation a "witch hunt." (Associated Press / Reuters / CNN / Washington Post / The Guardian)
📌 Day 670: Trump submitted his written answers to Robert Mueller's questions "regarding the Russia-related topics of the inquiry," according to Trump's attorney, Jay Sekulow. Mueller has not ruled out trying to compel Trump to sit for an interview after reviewing the written answers. (Bloomberg/ CNBC / New York Times / Associated Press)
3/ The Justice Department briefed White House lawyers about the conclusions made in Mueller's report before it was released, which aided Trump's legal team in rebutting the report's findings. Barr initially refused to answer whether the Justice Department had given the White House a preview of Mueller's findings. Later, Barr confirmed that he gave Trump's lawyers access to Mueller's report "earlier this week" – before it was to be sent to Congress and made public – and that Trump's lawyers did not ask for any redactions. (New York Times / Associated Press)
4/ House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler accused Barr of "waging a media campaign on behalf of President Trump." Nadler charged that Barr was attempting to "bake in the narrative to the benefit of the White House" and to protect Trump by holding a news conference about Mueller's report hours before it was made public. Yesterday, Nadler and other House committee chairs issued a joint statement urging Barr to cancel the news conference and "let the full report speak for itself." The House Judiciary Committee plans to review the redacted report, and then ask Mueller and his team to testify before Congress. (Washington Post / ABC News / Politico)
🔍 Mueller Report Key Findings (so far):
A high-level overview of what's been learned from the Mueller report. All summaries are sourced from the live blogs linked to below or directly cited inline (or both).
Mueller's obstruction of justice investigation was influenced by a Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel opinion that says a sitting president cannot be indicted. Mueller's report says the team was "determined not to apply an approach that could potentially result in a judgment that the President committed crimes."
Trump engaged in "multiple acts" to influence on law enforcement investigations, but that his efforts were "mostly unsuccessful" because his aides refused to carry out his orders.
Trump urged campaign aides to find Hillary Clinton's private emails. After Trump publicly asking Russia to find Clinton's emails in July 2016, Trump then privately "asked individuals affiliated with his campaign to find the deleted Clinton emails." Michael Flynn told Mueller that Trump "made this request repeatedly," and Flynn "contacted multiple people in an effort to obtain the emails," including Peter Smith, a longtime Republican operative, and Barbara Ledeen, who worked for Chuck Grassley on the Senate Judiciary Committee at the time. (Washington Post)
The Trump campaign "expected it would benefit" from information released by Russia, but "the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities." The report continues: "The investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome." Putin's "preference was for candidate Trump to win."
When Trump learned of Mueller's appointment as special counsel, he said: "Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my presidency. I'm fucked." Trump then repeatedly berated then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his recusal from the Russia probe, saying Sessions had let him down. "How could you let this happen, Jeff?" Trump demanded.
After Trump fired James Comey, he attempted to have his White House counsel fire Mueller a month later. Trump twice told Donald McGahn to call Rosenstein and order him to fire Mueller, saying: "Mueller has to go" for alleged "conflicts that precluded him from serving as special counsel." McGahn refused, saying he did not want to repeat the "Saturday Night Massacre." McGahn then called Reince Priebus, then the White House chief of staff, and told him Trump had asked him to "do crazy shit." Trump later pressured McGahn to deny that he tried to fire Mueller.
"Substantial evidence" corroborates Comey's recollection that Trump pressured him to let Flynn off easy. "I hope you can let this go," Trump allegedly told Comey. "While the president has publicly denied these details, other Administration officials who were present have confirmed Comey's account of how he ended up in a one-on-one meeting with the president," the report says. "And the president acknowledged to Priebus and McGahn that he in fact spoke to Comey about Flynn in their one-on-one meeting."
Trump weighed installing Rachel Brand, then the Department of Justice's number three official, "to end the Russia investigation or fire the special counsel." Trump asked Staff Secretary Rob Porter what he thought of Brand and if she "was good, tough and 'on the team.'"
Paul Manafort told Rick Gates to "sit tight" and not plead guilty because Trump is "going to take care of us." Mueller's report says "evidence […] indicates that the President intended to encourage Manafort to not cooperate with the government." Gates ended up cooperating with Mueller.
Trump's personal attorney directed Cohen "stay on message and not contradict the President" regarding testimony about the Trump Tower Moscow project that continued behind January 2016. Trump's personal lawyer told Cohen that he "was protected, which he wouldn't be if he 'went rogue.'"
Mueller declined to prosecute "several" people connected to the Trump campaign who lied to the special counsel's office or to Congress about their contact with Russians and on other matters, including Trump Jr. and Sessions.
Federal prosecutors are pursuing 14 other investigations that were referred by Mueller. Two were disclosed in the redacted report: potential wire fraud and federal employment law violations involving Michael Cohen, and charges against Gregory Craig, the former White House counsel under Obama, who was accused of lying to investigators and concealing work for a pro-Russian government in Ukraine. The other 12 referrals were redacted because the details could harm continuing investigations.
Mueller left the door open to the possibility that after Trump leaves office, prosecutors could re-examine the evidence which could "potentially result in a judgment that the president committed crimes." Trump's lawyers have argued that it was impossible for Trump to illegally obstruct the Russia investigation, because he has full authority over federal law enforcement as head of the executive branch. "The conclusion that Congress may apply the obstruction laws to the president's corrupt exercise of the powers of office accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law," Mueller's team wrote.

House Democrats subpoenaed nine banks as part of an investigation into Trump's financial and potential money laundering tied to Russia: JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Capital One, Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, and Toronto-Dominion Bank. Investigators on the House Financial Services Committee and House Intelligence Committee have focused their early efforts on Deutsche Bank, which has said it in engaged "in a productive dialogue" with the committees. (Wall Street Journal / Bloomberg)
North Korea said continued nuclear talks would be "lousy" if Mike Pompeo remains involved, demanding that the Secretary of State be replaced by someone who is "more careful." A North Korean foreign ministry official said last week that Pompeo "spouted reckless remarks, hurting the dignity of our supreme leadership" after he agreed with the characterization of Kim Jong-un as a tyrant. That same official warned on Thursday that if Pompeo remains involved, "the talks will become entangled." (BBC)
North Korea said it test-fired a new type of "tactical guided weapon." There was no evidence the test involved a nuclear detonation or an intercontinental ballistic missile. (New York Times)

LP - Rita Graham - Vibrations - Original Sealed Stock
LPs are sealed with Promo drill hole
"Rita Graham's career as a jazz vocalist was jump-started when Ray Charles produced an album of lush standards for her in 1969. The album, Rita Graham Vibrations is the only major project that Ray Charles produced for a female artist on his label Tangerine Records (TRC-1507). As the lead vocalist in Rita and the Tiaras, Ms. Graham recorded the UK Northern Soul Classic, Gone with the Wind is My Love (Rita and the Tiaras).
A stint as one of Ray Charles' Raelettes was followed by a two-year featured spot with the Harry James Orchestra, on European and Far East tours, and a series of recordings produced by TV composer Mike Post.
Rita was featured with jazz great Oscar Peterson, Mercer Ellington and the Duke Ellington Orchestra, and comedian Redd Foxx. She originated the role of Coretta Scott King in Woodie King Jr.'s production of the Martin Luther King, Jr. documusical, Selma, off-Broadway.
Ms. Graham recorded and produced a live CD of jazz and blues standards Rita Graham Live at Sambuca Atlanta, where she was "The First Lady of Sambuca" from 1999 to 2009. Currently, Rita performs with several Atlanta bands and is featured with Sammy Blue and The All-Star Georgia Music Revue. While on tour in the Philippines, Ms. Graham experienced a stunning episode of deja vu, envisioning an historical incident, feeling certain that she had actually been present there in the past. She recalled vivid childhood dreams of that incident that inspired her fascination with life after life. This incident culminated in Rita's book Karma Rising, a suspense novel about past life regression." - ritagrahamsings.wordpress.com

IAF pilot Abhinandan mocked in Pakistani TV's advertisement on World Cup
A World Cup commercial launched with the aid of Pakistan intended to tickle the humorous bones has struck the incorrect chords in India as the two countries are preparing to stand every other on June 16, our neighboring u. S . A. Made a commercial surrounding the capture of Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan Varthaman. Pak's Jazz TV advertisement is a mimicry of Wing Commander Abhinandan's video shot through the Pakistani militia after he was taken captive a day after the Balakot airstrikes.
A model carrying gunslinger mustache, mutton-chop beard similar to that of the IAF officer with a trademark India crew blue jersey may be seen being interrogated on digicam.
The version maintains answering each query with Abhinandan's famous, viral announcement: "I'm sorry, I am not intended to inform you this" in the business. The questions requested in the advertisement are often centered around India's gambling XI, their sport plan if the toss is gained, among different things.
Also, similar to the authentic video of the wing commander, where he can be seen sipping tea, with his face swollen and bruised from an extreme beating, the model, too, sips far from his cup while being interrogated. Also, similar to the unique video of the wing commander, in which he may be seen sipping tea, with his face swollen and bruised from an excessive beating, the version, too, sip far from his cup at the same time as being interrogated. However, instead of exuding the stoic calm that was contemplated at the IAF pilot's face, the model appears jumpy and apprehensive.
Towards the cease of the advert, when the version is in the end allowed to depart, as according to the script, he's stopped and asked to go back to the teacup – alluding to the World Cup here. Twitter users in India were not glad over the racist and mocking tone of the commercial and right now got here out to slam it, and it even criticized the ICC for not appearing in this. Captain Abhinandan Varthaman was taken captive on February 27 after his jet became shot down even as avoiding a try made using the Pakistani air pressure to interfere in Indian air space. He becomes kept in the Pakistan army's custody for 60 hours before being released as a "goodwill gesture."

Richard "Doc" Morris with students
In Memoriam: Richard "Doc" Morris
Former colleagues and students look back on the 60-year teaching career of Richard "Doc" Morris.
By Jeff Ristine
Story Keywords: In Memoriam, News
"He was clearly dedicated to his craft and his students."
"If I have a legacy," Richard "Doc" Morris said near the end of a phenomenal 60-year career teaching physics at San Diego State University, "I'd like it to be that he did his best to teach us to think."
"That's probably the most important thing any instructor can give to a student," Morris said. "If he can walk out or she can walk out with some ability to think critically, they might just save the world."
Morris died on Oct. 19 at a hospital in La Mesa of complications from influenza. He was 89.
Among the hundreds of students who passed through the Morris lab was Ellen Ochoa ('80), who went on to become an astronaut and fly on four Space Shuttle missions.
"He taught us how to document our work—important in the scientific method so that others could duplicate it—how to analyze the data we collected and how to account for errors inherent in the process of measurement," said Ochoa, who retired in May after five years as director of NASA'S Johnson Space Center. "He was clearly dedicated to his craft and his students."
Under Morris, Physics 357 was known as the toughest lab in the upper division of the department. Officially titled Advanced Physical Measurements, it was referred to by some as "Advanced Physical Pain."
"I'm convinced now that the best thing you can do for a student is give them a really hard course," Morris said in a 2012 interview. "I like the students, and I like to see their devotion and their refusal to give up even if things don't work."
But it was Morris's devotion that students remember. By all accounts, he never lost the ability to relate to undergraduates whose grasp of the subject was far below his own, and to help guide them to a higher level of understanding.
"Doc could easily forget to breathe for three hours, and that's what I loved most about him," said Miguel Correa, who credited Morris with his decision to go to graduate school and make physics a lifelong career. "He was one of my biggest inspirations to keep an open mind and remain curious."
Another doctoral student, Grant Varnau, said Morris "made each and every one of us a better scientist and person." When Varnau once jokingly asked if Morris would serve as a surrogate grandfather, "he laughed and smiled at me and said he would be honored—as long as I could pass his lab."
For all students, his expectations were high. Lab reports were assigned at 15 to 20 pages. Students approaching Morris with questions about the material he was teaching said he typically responded by telling them how they could find the answer on their own.
Physics department chair Usha Sinha said his afternoon lab course would routinely stretch hours past its scheduled three-hour time, sometimes not ending until dark. It was an excruciating experience for some, but Sinha said students tend to remember it as "the best training they had."
Morris retired in 2010 and entered the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), but only reluctantly. While it allowed him to continue his passion for teaching, Sinha said Morris was unhappy about its five-year time limit.
When that period was up, Morris continued to return as a volunteer, teaching the 357 lab and directing senior research projects. He remained undergraduate advisor through 2016.
"For the last three years he was teaching for free," said longtime colleague Gordon Shackelford, a physics lecturer. "It's a dedication you just rarely see…beyond the rational level of dedication."
By the time Morris left SDSU at the end of the fall 2017 semester, he had taught at the institution for nearly half its 121-year history.
The physics department, for now, has left his old third-floor office nearly untouched in the rear of his lab. Its condition reflects a needlepoint sign he kept there that reads "A clean desk is the sign of a sick mind." The piles of material he kept there include a 2009 course catalog and a 1995 buyers' guide for optics equipment; his desk also has an all-but-obsolete laserjet printer and a gooseneck lamp.
Richard Herbert Morris was born Nov. 22, 1928, in Oakland, California. He earned his undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees at the University of California, Berkeley, and married the former Barbara Norris in 1956. He worked at the Berkeley facility founded as the Radiation Laboratory, an international center known for its research in physics and now named the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
His first teaching assignment was at Sacramento State College in 1956, and he joined the faculty of what was then San Diego State College a year later. It was just weeks before the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik, the first artificial Earth satellite, an event that shocked a complacent United States into making a higher priority of mathematics and science education, including physics.
San Diego State's physics program, at the time, was the largest on the West Coast, Morris recalled in 2012; it included classes that would now be thought of as part of an electrical engineering program.
As was typical of instructors of the era, Morris remained focused on teaching and had no large research grants to his name. It was to his credit, however, that the physics department in 2012 received a $300,000 gift from Cymer, a San Diego-based tech firm, to expand and update the Morris lab.
Morris's dedication to the university was thoroughly supported by his wife. Barbara Morris was known to bring coffee and cookies to graduate students during particularly rigorous exams.
In addition to his wife, Morris is survived by a son, William, and his wife, Lisa Heizer; a daughter, Katherine Vockrodt, and her husband, John; and two granddaughters.
No services were scheduled.

A recent Urban Institute study finds that students at two-year colleges are at risk of food insecurity. The study does not demonstrate a causal relationship between higher education and food insecurity. Instead, it paints a concerning description of the vulnerability that a particular category of students face.
College students tend to come from high-income families and generally have a lower rate of food insecurity. Eleven percent of households with four-year college enrollees experience food insecurity. However, the percentage of households with students in two-year schools experiencing food insecurity tends to be higher than the national average for all households.
Insecurity is exacerbated when the economy is poor. In the period after the recession from 2008 to 2014, these households had average rates of food insecurity of 21.1%, peaking at 23.8% in 2012. In 2015, the rate dropped to 13.3%, still a little bit above the national rate. African American students enrolled in two-year colleges have a 28% rate of food insecurity.
However, the percentage of households with students in two-year schools experiencing food insecurity tends to be higher than the national average for all households.
The study did not find any significant difference for two-year enrollees for public or private institutions or whether the students are part-time or full-time. Vocational students also had high rates of food insecurity in the period after the 2008 recession.
Food insecurity has profound impacts on college students. It has been "associated with poor health, poor academic performance, and mental health symptoms such as depression and anxiety." Better supports and resources are needed on college campuses to aid any students experiencing food insecurity.
One proposal is to review the work requirements for eligibility for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Eligibility and enrollment in SNAP with colleges students are low. There are certain circumstances when students are eligible such as, being under the age of 18 years, over 49 years, taking care of a child under the age of 6, if they work at least 20 hours a week, or they receive work-study funds. The Federal Work-Study funds are typically found at institutions with a high percentage of students coming from families with incomes of $60,000 or higher. A student must work 20 hours to be eligible when working off-campus. Thus, the authors of this study conclude that one way to help more vulnerable students gain access to SNAP would be to lower the number of hours required to work off-campus for eligibility.
