Virginia Brunson Mann
By Edgefield Advertiser on March 3, 2015 Comments Off on Virginia Brunson Mann
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Virginia Thomason Brunson Mann, 92, widow of former U.S. Congressman James Robert Mann, died at home after a long illness on February 19, 2015.
Mrs. Mann was born in Edgefield, SC, on May 5, 1922, the daughter of the late Artemas Lowe Brunson and Virginia Thomason Brunson. She grew up in Charleston, and her nostalgia for that city was lifelong. She graduated from Memminger High School and in 1942 from the College of Charleston, where she concentrated on literature and languages, branches of learning she loved throughout her life. At the College her participation in student organizations was extensive, she served as captain of the women's basketball team, and was a member of Chi Omega sorority. In 2013 she was honored at the College as its oldest living basketball alumna.
In January 1945, Miss Brunson married Major James Mann of Greenville, a 1941 graduate of The Citadel. After the war
the couple lived first in Columbia, where her husband completed USC Law School, then settled in Greenville, where Mr. Mann joined his father's law firm and quickly entered a career of public service, which culminated in his five terms in Congress, 1969-79. Mrs. Mann was active in her husband's political life, and for long afterward in the Democratic Women of Greenville County, while rearing four children. In foreign travel with her husband, she met world leaders such as President Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel.
Mrs. Mann was always involved in Greenville's civic life: as a member of the Greenville Garden Club, the Greenville Woman's Club, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and as a charter member of the Carolinians Debutante Club. She belonged also to the Congressional Club of Washington, DC. Having three sons and a daughter, she was a Cub Scout and Girl Scout leader.
As a member of Earle Street Baptist Church, she was particularly active in the Women's Missionary Union, and for many years taught young children's Sunday school. Through the W.M.U. she did ample volunteer work in food-bank distribution and other services.
Mrs. Mann had a family heritage through several generations of teaching the deaf. Her great-grandfather founded the South Carolina School for Deaf and Blind at Cedar Spring, and until marriage her mother taught at the New York State School for the Deaf, having studied at Gallaudet College in Washington under Alexander Graham Bell.
Preceding Mrs. Mann in death were her husband in 2010, and her son William Walker Mann in 2006.
She is survived by her children, James R. Mann Jr., David Brunson Mann (and wife Carol), and Virginia Mann Camarda, all currently of Greenville; by daughter-in-law Claudette Didul of Los Angeles; six grandchildren: Marion, David Jr. (Courtney), Ross, and William Mann, all of Greenville; Thomas Camarda Jr. (Tabitha) of Los Angeles; and Michele Willing (Nick) of London, England; and by six great-grandchildren, Maddie and Tyler Mann of Greenville; Marlon and Roman Camarda of Los Angeles; and Madison and Darcy Willing of London. She is further survived by twenty nieces and nephews, including her sister Idalia's daughters Susan Hogan and Dale Hogan Murray of Mt. Pleasant, SC. Also surviving is her only first cousin, Samuel McDowell Tate of Morganton, NC, whose mother was Principal of the NC Deaf School there.
The family wishes to express its profound gratitude to the in-home caregivers of Amedisys Hospice, whose constant professional assistance and counsel were indispensable in Mrs. Mann's care for more than a year.
Visitation will be Monday, February 23, 2015 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Thomas McAfee Funeral Home, Downtown. The funeral service will be Tuesday, February 24, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at Earle Street Baptist Church. Burial will be in Woodlawn Memorial Park.
Memorials may be made to Earle Street Baptist Church, 225 W. Earle Street, Greenville, SC 29609; or to the Begin AdTech Script Alzheimer's Association End AdTech Script , Greenville Chapter, 301 University Ridge, Suite 5300, Greenville, SC 29601.
Condolences may be sent to the family at www.thomasmcafee.com.

Bazaar Brides made its knock-out debut at LMFF recently, with their red carpet runway clearly standing out from the crowd. Having just returned from the international runway stage, this designer group show was one of the most innovative and enchanting catwalks I've had the pleasure of attending. With a knock out solo performance by Ella Hooper to kick start the show followed by a combined live electric violinist and DJ knocking out musical magic with instrumental versions of everything from AC/DC to Beyonce, it was truly breathtaking. Intricate, delicate, detailed dress after dress painted a serene picture of a blissful white wedding to match all eras. Floral and metal crowns, decadent bouquets, gleaming beading and luxurious lace walked the runway showcasing the best Australian couture has to offer. Featuring a runway-long train this magnificent Maticevski design closed the show, perfectly summarising what words themselves could not describe. Watch out MBFWA, you have a lot to live up to next week!
wooooow how magical. I love them all!!


As beautiful as its namesake! A smooth blend of buckwheat, sunflower butter, sweet dates and a hint of cinnamon. No added sugar, vegan, non-GMO and gluten free!

If you have ever spent time traveling around the world, you know how beautiful birds are. We have traveled around Australia and could not resist stopping to capture many of the birds.
Bird Watching is a terrific hobby although very frustrating too, when crawling on hands and knees near snake infested swamps to catch that special shot.
We have snapped eagles while they feed on road carnage beside the road. The frustrating part of this is in many cases all you do is get a shot of the dashboard.
We found the answer to that was a dashboard camera, which captures everything it sees when mounted on the windscreen. This type of camera can also be a lifesaver as it can prove that you were not responsible if involved in an accident.
These are colorful birds of medium size; they have distinctive tail-streamers, although the hasshorter thicker tail streamers than the male. The golden crown and red eye rests in a wide black stripe. Upper parts green with coppery flight feathers, they resemble some kingfishers.
The Rainbow Bee-eater often found in open forests and shrub lands, usually near water. They feed mainly on insects, bees, wasps and take them back to a perch and bang them on the branch before eating.
We have seen the largest of Australian birds the Emu, right down to the little tiny finches, which fascinate us as they flit from one spot to another entertaining us with their little antics.
The first sighting of an Emu on the West Australian coast was by European explorers in 1696.
The Emus rely on their strong-clawed feet to defend themselves. They can rip through a metal fence while fleeing through the paddocks. Emus when standing reach up to nearly seven feet high and cannot fly. Their brown feathers hide the strength of those long legs reaching speeds of up to 50 km/ph.
Did you know that the emu is part of the emblem on some Australian coins?
These birds are magnificent, powerful and the largest bird of prey in Australia. Their wingspan reaches up to two and a half meters. The female measures 1000 mm and larger than the male 900 mm. The adult's feathers black and young have a golden brown changing to black as they age.
Eagles congregate in groups of twenty or more, and feed off the road carnage. Two or three will feed, while the others perch in nearby trees waiting their turn. Eagles will soar high on the thermal air currents, watching with their eagle eyes for prey in open ground. The Eagle is one of Australia's protected birds.
If you hate changing lenses then this is the best and cheapest way to capture those birds hiding further away. As it comes with a 50x Optical zoom lens to bring the birds closer to you without having to carry bulky lenses.
It also takes videos for those extra special shots. Or like us capture great shots of the moon. with ours.
There is nothing better than waking up to the sound of a Kookaburra Laughing. How many times have you heard and laughed along with them? Yes, I could not believe it at first that the Kookaburra's are part of the kingfisher family as they are so much larger. You can see these in the lower part of Western Australian coast.
More often seen up around Port Hedland, the DE Grey River is where I spotted this one. The unusual sound these make is what first attracted my attention; they sound more like a dog barking than a Kookaburra. Both of these are approximately 40- 45 cm.
to take better photos you should have a tripod. It does not need to be the most expensive. although you need something sturdy enough to hold your camera steady.
This one comes with an extension to 72" and its own cleaning cloth with a carry bag.
The Magpie takes its name from a pied crow in Europe. There are many variations of these species, the black backed, the white backed and the western magpie. They have glossy, almost polished feathers. Each variety has clear black and white markings, although each one marked in different ways. You can see these all over Australia except the centre of Western Australia.
Another name for them is the butcher bird. They rely on their powerful feet as they hop and run across the ground chasing after insects, grubs often seen digging with their sharp beak in the ground at the base of trees. They also enjoy being hand fed raw mince and make beautiful pets.
Magpies also live in groups of five to twenty birds. Magpies during nesting time will often swoop on people or children to grab their hair for building their nests. I have often seen them collect shiny objects and hide them in the center of palm trees. Approximate length is 380 mm to 440 mm.
The Ringneck on the right in picture above, commonly called a Twenty-Eight in Australia. These birds often fly across the roadside or after rain drinking on the sides of the road. Their beautiful green and yellow plumage flashing against the background of the Australian bush in the sunlight.
They enjoy eating a variety of grasses, seeds, cyprus pines and acacias, fruit, leaf buds and blossoms. They like to live in small groups and keep to the same pairs.
Nesting: They breed between July to February occasionally having two broods in one year. Building their nest in hollow or branch of eucalypt tree, laying between two to six eggs. Incubation occurs between nineteen to twenty days by the female.
Capture all your images, and videos on a reliable memory card. This 32Gb will capture thousands of images without running out. You can use these in dashboard cameras too. There is nothing worse than going on a long trip and halfway there your camera comes up with the sign card full. This one will prevent this from happening. Although you still need to down load them onto your computer for safekeeping.
Many people take the common Pink and Grey Galah for granted. Normally seed eaters, these birds can be a real pest of any green garden lawn. A group of fifty or more can destroy the roots in a matter of minutes. At the same time, these birds also make beautiful talking pets.
A Galah will spend most of their time in the eucalyptus trees lining their nests with their leaves during breeding time when not on the ground feeding. During the first rains, you can see them hanging upside down in the trees. Length of the Galah is 350- 360 mm.
These are beautiful little birds, that love to interact with people and we have often seen them playing on the car windows and looking at themselves in the mirror. These birds are the only tropical members of the flower-peckers. This means they eat exclusively of the fruits of Mistletoes, once eaten the seeds pass through the birds within 20-60 minutes after ingestion. The seeds germinate in the branches of trees and grow. This creates more food for the Mistletoe birds. Length of the Mistletoe is between 100 – 110 mm.
These are beautiful, inquisitive little birds, which flit about in the undergrowth of shrubs in the bush and beside the rivers and creeks. They live in the lower coast of Western Australia and central eastern inland. Eating a variety of insects as it forages on the ground. Superb Fairy-wrens also live and breed in groups.
Conclusion: If you enjoyed seeing these beautiful birds, then you too can capture images like these by joining a bird watching group or taking trips out into the bush with your camera. There is also a Western Australian Bird group on Facebook. Amateurs and professionals share their images on this site. If you have trouble identifying any you see then there are books like the one below to help you.
Australia has many different types of wonderful animals and insects to see while travelling through this beautiful land.
While out bird watching and capturing images with your camera spare a thought for the dangers facing these beautiful birds from pollution. If possible remove any rubbish or harmful materials to prevent injuries and death to these birds.
If you have ever seen some of these beautiful birds but are not sure what they are then this book will help you to identify them.
It also gives you some information on where to find them what they eat other other interesting facts on breeding.
This is so nicely done and these birds are beautiful. They are exotic birds, at least from the perspective of someone living in the United States. This is pinned to my "See the World" board.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments ologsinquito. We love snapping shots of so many beautiful birds animals and even butterflies while traveling. Add the scenery and we just have a ball finding that next special something new. Traveling is so interesting.
Thanks for this great article and amazing pictures!
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. They are beautiful and they really sound like they are laughing, hence the name. I hear them where we live sometimes, but not often enough. I still join in and mimmick them too.
You Australians have such wonderful wildlife. I'm especially intrigued by the last two birds--the Mistletoe Bird, and the Splendid Fairy Wren, which certainly deserves its name. Thumbs up for a great article.
This is a great article and very informative. Your photos are wonderful too! I live in the United States and there have only been a couple of other places I would like to travel to and Australia is one of them and that is because of the birds! You folks have all the exotic birds living naturally in the wild that we in the US can only see in a zoo or purchase in a pet store. I love to see these amazing creatures in their natural habitat! Great article and thumbs up!
Thanks so much Janey, I would love to see your Bald Eagle I reckon they are beautiful. We had a thing on the net years ago where someone set up a web page to watch a pair nesting and hatching their young. We kept going on net to see it every week then something happened and no more sighting. Don't know if eggs not fertile or what but it was great watching them up in there nest.


I had challenged myself to this for the whole year! But my list is a bit different….activities such as concerts are on my okay list…especially if I go with a friend. It is the random shopping I need to eliminate. In the few weeks I have been doing this I have realized how I use buying things as a reaction to boredom or sadness. Substituting an activity or even packing something up to give away has been a good alternative to spending.

Bullied is a documentary film that chronicles one student's ordeal at the hands of anti-gay bullies and offers an inspiring message of hope to those fighting harassment today. It can become a cornerstone of anti-bullying efforts in middle and high schools.
"This film is powerful, important and extremely realistic. It provides teachers with a rare opportunity to address bullying in a real and meaningful way."
Bullied has been endorsed by Charles Haynes, Senior Scholar at the First Amendment Center; Kevin Gogin, Program Coordinator, Support Services for LGBT Youth, San Francisco Unified School District; Sandra Lee Fewer, Commissioner, San Francisco Unified School District and these organizations: Alabama Safe Schools Coalition, Anti-Defamation League, Committee for Children, Encompass, Fortunate Families, GLSEN, Groundspark, Mississippi State Schools Coalition, National Safe Schools Coalition, NEA, New York State United Teachers, PFLAG National and Welcoming Schools/HRC.


WASHINGTON, DC — The American Hellenic Institute (AHI) announced the release of its 2018 Annual Report today.
"All of AHI's policy-based programs and initiatives for 2018 that advance the best interests of the United States on issues of importance to the Greek American community are encapsulated in this report," President Nick Larigakis said. "We are proud to highlight a few policy achievements as well as our successful programs, which include our 'Future of Hellenism in America' conference, foreign policy trip abroad for college students, and several policy forums. We also were fortunate to have several dignitaries visit Hellenic House in 2018."


Don't think because you are new, you can sit back and take it easy for a while and let everyone else show you what to do. Show initiative and enthusiasm.
Don't try and re-invent the wheel from day one. Learn the job and the processes that are in place before you start trying to change them.
Don't be drawn into discussions about other members of staff. You don't know whom you can trust and whom you can't at this stage. Stay away from office politics.
Don't use your work phone to make personal calls without asking and even then, keep them to a minimum.
Don't leave on the dot, come back late from your lunch breaks or start booking holidays straight away.
Don't sit in silence and wait for people to talk to you. Think of questions to ask people and start conversations yourself.
Demonstrate that you have researched the company & products wherever possible. Have a note book and pen ready and write everything down.
Ask questions when you don't understand (you are not expected to understand everything).
Make sure you are well presented and that your body language indicates enthusiasm and willingness to work.
Try to remember people's names. It makes your life easier.


Sometimes things don't go according to plan but those who are flexible know how to take advantage of any situation.
The US Government shutdown has affected many things, and the latest casualty seems to be the VanECK bitcoin ETF, which was up for review by the SEC. The deadline for a decision was February 27th but VanECK has now withdrawn its application.
Diligent readers of our daily market updates will not be dismayed by this latest update but delighted. As we have noted several times, this proposal had a very slim chance of success. SEC Chairman Jay Clayton has been stressing that the bitcoin market is not yet mature enough for an ETF.
Recent price action seems to confirm this, as we've seen a number of price spikes due to the low liquidity lately.
The government shutdown seems to have put further strain on this process. If there was a hope of convincing the SEC before the deadline, it has now disappeared. So, rather than letting the application be rejected, VanECK has simply withdrawn it — thus denying the SEC any opportunity to deny it. This is what we call a power move.
The price of Bitcoin did decline slightly at the time of the news (purple circle) but is still holding well at the $3,500 support level.
The crypto market is not dependent on any government or financial institution and no single product or service has the power to make or break bitcoin. We call this maturity.
Please note: All data, figures & graphs are valid as of January 24th. All trading carries risk. Only risk capital you can afford to lose.
Markets are trudging forward today. Looks like there's a whiff of risk appetite but clearly, the current geopolitical tensions are holding them back from any substantial moves at the moment and so markets are range bound.
The US government shutdown has now dragged the President's approval below 40%. This graph from fivethirtyeight.com shows Trump's rating since the inauguration. The blue dots show when the shutdown began.
The shutdown doesn't seem to be coming any closer to resolution either. The squabbling between the two American political parties is only deteriorating.
A string of data has hit the Euro today. The PMI is an index that measures how companies are feeling about the economy by surveying purchasing managers in the services and manufacturing sectors.
A measure above 50 indicates economic expansion and vice versa. As we can see, the overall numbers for Europe (bottom two lines) do show expansion but were well below what analysts were forecasting.
We can see the reaction in the EURUSD pretty clearly when zooming in on the short term chart.
Fortunately, not much to report in crypto land today, other than what we mentioned in the cover letter.
The transaction rate on the bitcoin blockchain is now at its highest level in a year, which is kind of cool. This is a good indicator that shows usage of bitcoin is growing despite the bear market.
There's also this story about crypto adoption in Iran.
Unfortunately, however, there isn't any real way to confirm this, other than the testimonials given in the article. The site I usually use to track this hasn't updated in the last few weeks. They say they're working on it though, so hopefully, we'll get a good report soon. If anybody else has some other way to gauge, hook a brother up!

Welcome to fall 2015 Denim Week! This week, we're highlighting the season's hottest trends, tons of must-try outfit ideas, and expert tips on how to choose the best jeans for your shape. Keep checking back for more denim ideas!
Fall is fast approaching, and as much as we have gotten used to the stifling heat, it's not long before jackets and coats are a necessary addition. As we are all girls on the go, we tend to put as much thought into our outerwear as we do what's underneath.
Similar to pairing your jeans with the perfect pair of shoes, there's certainly a stylish outer layer that looks best with each and every denim style you have in your wardrobe. Check out our definitive coat-and-denim-pairing guide below!
With their leg-lengthening style, flares work best with a cropped silhouette on top. Balance the tailored leg with an edgy leather moto jacket.
A Canadian tuxedo works best when combining different tones of denim, so a pair of black jeans is the perfect excuse to slip into your favorite jean jacket.
Duster coats are among the most elegant of outerwear options, but they can be challenging to style. With a floor-grazing length, like these coats provide, keep your denim on the skinny side to cut down on extra volume and bunch.
Slouchy boyfriend jeans have so much styling potential—for the ultimate polished look, pair yours with an oversize blazer for crisp fall days.
The classic trench is our favorite pairing for overalls. The elegant style adds grown-up appeal to the the peppy one-piece.
White jeans are a year-round favorite, but it's important to help them along a little, come colder weather. To avoid looking too summery, opt for a heavier coat over a lighter jacket when winter approaches.

Auto Modellista - Ebbro 1/43 2003 Xanavi Nismo Skyline GT-R
With Nismo clinching a second straight Super GT GT500 championship this past weekend I thought this would be a good time to introduce a new series of articles I'll be titling as "Auto Modellista". The name is inspired by an obscure PS2 racing game but the focus will be on discussing important points in GT-R history (and maybe a few other marques if there's a chance) by looking at different model cars from my collection.
I'll start off with a model that's very near and dear to my heart because it was the very first die-cast GT-R I ever owned – the Ebbro 1/43rd scale model of the 2003 Xanavi Nismo GT-R. Back in 2003 I was still a fairly recent transplant to the US but my love for Nissan had already been longstanding. I drove a black 2002 Sentra SE-R Spec V but dreamed of one day owning a Skyline GT-R. Back then the Speed Channel still existed on cable TV and it was still a cool channel that showed foreign motorsports and not just endless NASCAR as it would do later on. One of the series it televised for a couple of years was the Japanese GT Championship or JGTC – now known as Super GT.
Coming into 2003 Nissan was going through a bit of a dry spell in GT500. They'd won the drivers title in 1999 when the R34 first debuted then almost repeated the following year but the title went to Honda. In 2001 and 2002 Supra drivers came out on top. A team title in 2001 was some consolation but that year would see them only win one race and in 2002 the story got even worse as Nissan was winless that season and the best placed Skyline was down in eighth position of the final standings.
2003 presented an opportunity to redress the balance however because radical rule changes were introduced in GT500. Previously JGTC cars had to run a chassis based off the production car with the suspension locations similar to the road car. This meant the R34 suffered from limitations imposed by the large chassis of the production car. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to deduce that an R34 is a less sleek car than a Toyota Supra or Honda NSX – the two cars it was up against at the time. In comparison to the low and sleek noses of its rivals the Skyline had the frontal area of a grizzly bear in a pink tutu and a top hat. The "ballistic refrigerator" styling of the R34 may have been endearingly muscular and striking but it hardly made for good straightline speed and aerodynamic efficiency.
The rival: The 2003 Esso Ultraflo Toyota Supra
The 2003 G'Zox Mugen Honda NSX - winner of the sixth round
For 2003, that all went out the window as the new rules required you only to retain the main section of the chassis between the front and rear bulkheads (basically the driver compartment) and the rest could be built as a tube frame setup. The suspension and engine mounting points could be moved as a result. Nismo took full advantage of the new rules and dropped the front end much further than the old car, greatly improving the frontal area. Downforce was reduced by the rules requiring a flat bottom but this issue was the same for the other teams. The engine – a VQ30DETT V6 (yes, dear reader, racing GT-Rs abandoned the RB straight six and were running twin-turbo V6s well before the R35 came along) – was positioned for a nearly 50/50 weight distribution instead of the front bias of the previous car. Numerous other changes were made including lightening the car and putting the cooling system in the trunk and using the fans for the system to improve diffuser efficiency at the tail.
The end result was a leaner, meaner R34 GT-R than the ones that preceded it and in your humble author's opinion it's the most properly badass-looking R34 ever. The bear had lost the tutu and traded the top hat for a crash helmet - it was still big and imposing but now lethally fast.
The car quickly proved its speed by snagging pole position in the first round at TI Aida (now known as Okayama). The defending champion Esso Ultraflo Supra showed amazing speed however and took the win but the pole starting #23 Xanavi Nismo car took second. Round 2 at Fuji saw a Supra on pole but this time the Skylines would reverse things and the #22 Motul Pitwork car showed off the revised
model's straightline speed by taking the win, followed by the #12 Calsonic car for a Nissan 1-2. The #23 car finished in fourth while the Esso Supra ended up a dismal 12th. The Esso car would get its revenge in round 3 by taking the win at Sugo Sportland despite tough competition from the WoodOne Supra and the #23 car that ended up in third. The fourth round was an odd duck because the planned away race in Malaysia was canceled so Fuji had to fill in. It was also a two-part race with a sprint race followed by a longer main race. The Calsonic car blitzed through the pouring rain and won both races with the #22 Skyline making it another 1-2 finish. The Xanavi Nismo car was runner-up to a Honda in round five but round six would see its only non-points finish with an 11th. A fifth at the penultimate round in Autopolis kept it near the top of the point standings but it had a six point deficit to overcome against the Esso car that threatened to win back-to-back titles.
The #22 GT-R had suffered a mechanical failure at round 5 and a couple of other poor results had meant it was out of the title hunt. The fight would come down to the blue Esso car versus the red #23. With the title on the line the Xanavi GT-R put in a great qualifying performance to take up third place on the grid. The Esso was only able to get sixth but more importantly the Motul GT-R was in the spot ahead of it. At the start the #22 Nismo played its part to support the team's title hopes by holding the Esso Supra at bay while letting the #12 Calsonic GT-R through after it started seventh. The #23 had made its way to the lead of the race at the halfway point but the Calsonic was charging up fast. A gaggle of backmarkers let the Calsonic and the Takata NSX sneak past the Nismo car but it made no difference in the title chase because the rival Esso Supra was mired in 8th. It only managed to better that position by one place at the finish while the Xanavi car had ended up in third behind the Calsonic Skyline and the Takata NSX but that was more than enough for the title.
And so Nissan bid farewell to the R34 in the JGTC with the best possible result – the drivers title for Michael Krumm and Satoshi Motoyama and the team title for Nismo. To commemorate that win I decided to buy this model and it became the start of a large collection of GT-R models for me.
On a side note, the GT300 title that year was also won by Nissan with a 350Z taking the win. This would be a hint of things to come as the 350Z would step up to GT500 next year to try and defend Nismo's hard-won titles, but that's a story for another installment of this series. I hope you enjoyed reading this and that you'll come back for future posts.

Auto Modellista was a fun game. Don't know what happened to my copy. Nice die-cast models. I've got the Calsonic R34 in my office at work.
Oliver November 20, 2015 at 5:52 PM
I know I've got my copy somewhere in my "old game shelf". I prefer the blue Calsonic scheme myself to the red Nismo colors (at least the older scheme that's almost all red). I've got a couple of Calsonic R34s too so there's a good chance I'll do a post about one of them in the future. I was kind of hoping they'd take the championship this year over Nismo but alas it didn't turn out that way lol.

DoD Selects Semtech, Ripl for 3D Asset Tracking
By Maurice Nagle December 03, 2020
The United States Department of Defense (DoD) is tasked with the enduring mission to provide credible military forces needed to deter war and protect the security of our nation. Its focus rings as true today as when Harry S. Truman founded the DoD, but how it is accomplished today has a bit of a different aesthetic.
Semtech Corporation announced the U.S. DoD selected Ripl Networks to deploy an IP mesh, 3D tracking solution for foreign guest and fleet assets at naval ports pairing Semtech's LoRa devices over Ripl's MLMesh system.
"Ripl lets Tiny-Edge computers talk IP creating a long distance, wire-free extension of the IP WAN," said Kerry Shih, CEO of Ripl Networks. "LoRa devices' proven distance and low power enables Ripl to offer an IP fabric up to 20km from node to node with a battery life up to 10 years."
The Semtech, Ripl deployment empower the ability for low power devices to communicate over long distance with accurate 3D location tracking sans cellular towers or GPS. The first deployment is the Port of Hueneme, the only deep water port between the San Francisco Bay and Los Angeles, and based on this proof of concept, the expectation is to see further investment in IoT technologies.
"Semtech's LoRa platform enables the rapid and scalable deployment of military-grade applications, such as Ripl Networks' asset tracking solution," said Marc Pegulu, Vice President of IoT Product Marketing for Semtech's Wireless and Sensing Products Group. "We are pleased to assist the U.S. Department of Defense in its efforts to monitor and secure critical American assets."

More Evidence That New Housing Lowers Rents (Maybe)
Even if new housing reduces rents regionwide, scholars are divided as to when and whether new market-rate apartments reduce rents in nearby blocks. A new study seeks to answer this question.
February 18, 2019, 1:00 PM PST
By Michael Lewyn @mlewyn

Numerous economic studies show that cities that allow lots of new housing have lower housing costs than places with highly restrictive zoning, and thus that the anti-housing policies of cities such as New York and San Francisco (and their suburbs) contribute to regional high rents.
But even pro-housing commentators have suggested that this might not be true at the neighborhood-by-neighborhood level, at least in newly gentrifying neighborhoods. Some believe that such housing increases demand for a neighborhood, which in turn breeds gentrification, which in turn creates higher rents.
However, a new study, performed by two economists and one doctoral student,* suggests that new market-rate housing reduces rents. This study covered buildings in 11 major cities that were built between 2014 and 2016. As a proxy for gentrification, the study focused on areas where there was "no other luxury building within 500 meters." However, these areas were already wealthier than the citywide average, with rising rents and an above-average percentage of new housing built since 2010.
The study found that before construction, rents rose more rapidly within 200 meters of these new buildings than in areas 200-800 meters away. By contrast, after construction rents rose more slowly within 200 meters of these buildings. Thus, it appears that these new buildings caused rents to rise less rapidly (at a time when rents were increasing almost everywhere). Although neighborhood population increased near these buildings, the increased demand was not sufficient to raise rents.
On the other hand, this study does not necessarily prove that new housing in every conceivable neighborhood will lower housing prices. At least two questions require further research: First, do these results apply for all cities? Or is there a difference between already-expensive cities such as New York (where upzoned areas are often just a few blocks away from downzoned areas, thus funneling demand into the former set of areas) and cheaper cities such as Atlanta? Second, are the results different for lower-income neighborhoods (as opposed to neighborhoods that are middle-class or nonresidential)?
*I am happy to mention them and thus plug their work: Brian James Asquith, Evan Mast, and Davin Reed.

Background: Recently, the number of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases in Japan has been increasing, and is strongly
influenced by alcohol consumption. On the other hand, there are several reports suggesting a relationship between
bowel movement (constipation and diarrhea) and CRC development. Moreover, it is generally known that diarrhea
may occur after drinking. However, the mechanism by which drinking alcohol increases CRC is not fully clarified
yet. We hypothesized that diarrhea after drinking may play an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis. Methods:
We examined the presence of diarrhea after drinking and further evaluated the correlation of diarrhea after drinking
with the incidence of colorectal tumors. To obtain the status of the feces, a self-recorded questionnaire survey was
administered using the dietary-recording method. Blood samples were obtained to analyze the ALDH2 Glu504Lys and
ADH1B His48Arg polymorphisms. Results: The participants were 417 patients who had undergone a total colonoscopy.
The control was selected from 186 patients who underwent a medical checkup at the same hospital during the same
time period. The odds ratio for all subjects was 2.1 (95% CI: 1.18 - 3.80), and that for heavy drinkers was 4.2 (1.48
- 11. 90). Conclusions: The results demonstrated that those who have diarrhea after drinking possess a high risk of
developing colon tumors.

'Fuck,' 'shit,' 'damn'
Exploring the history behind the English language's most commonly used swear words
JESSICA ZHOU/THE VARSITY
Language is unquestionably one of the most beautiful gifts known to humanity.
Over time, there have been significant developments in the English language, including the evolution from Old English, to Shakespearean English, to what is now modern English.
'Fuck,' 'shit,' and 'damn' — sound familiar? In society today, there are certain words that are automatically deemed as inappropriate and rude to say — we call them swear words or profanity.
These are three of the most heard profanities in the English language, and when we hear them, we are quickly caught up in the intonation, implication, and context of the words.
At their core, these funny sounding words are simply letters jumbled together that are laden with baggage and history. Popular culture has even merged 'fuck shit damn' together, with Urban Dictionary defining the expression as, "Expressive phrase used when one four-letter swear word just isn't enough."
However, what do we know about the actual origins and history of these bad words? And the real question is: how did they come to be in the first place?
'Fuck'
Out of all the English words that begin with the letter F, this is the only word that is commonly referred to as the F-word. It is a versatile word that can describe almost every emotion — pain, happiness, love, hate, and many more.
It can be used as a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. A common myth about 'fuck' is that, it is an acronym for "Fornication Under Command of the King": the population was so sparse that the king would order everyone to start having sex.
Supposedly, couples in the act would hang up a sign that said 'F.U.C.K.' Clearly, this story is false and has nothing to do with the actual origin. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, 'fuck' did not come into existence until the fifteenth century.
'Fuck,' possibly derived from the German word 'ficken,' meant "to strike" in early contexts, and it frequently appeared as part of surnames with the literal meaning of hitting, rather than having any sexual connotations to it.
As time went on, 'fuck' took on a very different meaning. William Dunbar, a Scottish poet, wrote about a man sexually lusting for woman. Dunbar wrote: "By his feirris he would have fukkit," suggesting the man's desire to have sex with the woman.
Since then, 'fuck' has been gradually associated with sex, and over time, mass media has outright deemed this word to be inappropriate, rude, and offensive.
'Shit'
Similar to 'fuck,' 'shit' can also be traced back in history.
Originally, it had a technical purpose, referring specifically to diarrhea in cattle. Essentially, 'shit' would be used in many words that had connections to cattle.
However, as time went on, it started to have more meanings than simply diarrhea in cattle; it is now associated with all kinds of feces and often used by people to replace 'things' or 'stuff.'
'Shit' has developed from being a technical term to socially unacceptable vocabulary. The same poet who first committed to 'fuck,' Dunbar also wrote "schit but wit" in order to refer to an annoying person.
Ultimately, 'shit' would be used to describe trash or worthless things. Nowadays, not only can 'shit' be used to degrade others, but it can also ironically be used to mean the best if accompanied by 'the.' For example, saying something is 'the shit' suggests that one had a great time.
'Damn'
Finally, 'damn.' The least offensive of the three 'core' swear words.
The origin of 'damn' goes back to the Old French word 'damner,' which means to condemn. This word was first adopted into the English language around the fourteenth century and would often be found in religious contexts; for instance, damnation referred to God's punishment.
However, starting from the seventeenth to eighteenth century, 'damn' began to be used as a profanity in the context of 'I don't care': 'I don't give a damn.'
Although it may not seem like 'damn' is the kind of swear word that would be taken seriously now, it was actually considered a serious profanity back in the 1700s up until about 1930; society at the time actively avoided this word because it was considered impolite and indecent.
A large portion of today's generation rely on swearing in order to boost their self-esteem and ego. Effectively, swear words do have some sort of magical power over us — we learn and pick them up from others when we are young, even though they are taboo.
Then, as we grow older, swearing ultimately becomes a tool to emphasize points and heighten emotions. After all, what's the first thing you typically say after you've stubbed your toe?
Learning the etymology of profanity, which a good amount of people are already attached to, definitely elevates one's linguistical knowledge. And if you don't fancy delving into the Oxford English Dictionary, I am confident that Urban Dictionary will amuse and educate you on the slightly more 'expressive' words that pop up in our vocabulary.
First language attrition in bilinguals is more common than you think
STEVEN LEE/THE VARSITY
http://var.st/35f
It was lunchtime and my co-worker asked me to make a note of what I wanted for takeout. Working as a summer-term English teacher in Tianjin, China at the time, I was eager to try boxed lunches that were popular among the students. I remember struggling and erasing my draft several times before I could admit that I forgot how to write the Chinese character for 'box.'
This scenario was just one of many since my family's migration from China to Canada. As a nine-year-old child, I practiced calligraphy, recited poetry, and loved Chinese literature class. If I were to meet my former self, I may not be able to out-compete her in Chinese language skills.
This experience resonates with many bilingual speakers who can comprehend text and speech in their first language but have trouble speaking and writing in it.
Researchers at the University of Essex believe attrition in a healthy bilingual adult ultimately arises from competition between the two languages in the brain. Although both languages are active, one will eventually dominate. In addition, continuous inhibition of the native language can make recalling vocabulary and syntax difficult, since the brain substitutes these with those of the second language.
Age is one of the biggest factors that lead to a decline in native language proficiency.
Children who immigrate before reaching puberty — which is often considered the critical period for cementing language skills — are the most prone to first language attrition because their mother tongue has not been fully acquired yet.
Due to the plasticity in developing brains, linguistic concepts children learn from their first language are not stored permanently. Along with prolonged inhibition by a newly acquired second language, this causes a gradual loss of the language.
On the other hand, adolescents past the critical period are less prone to first language attrition, but the access pathway for the retrieval of the language can be influenced by the second language. For example, vocabulary and grammar substitutions can occur, but the underlying principles remain intact.
Contrary to popular belief, prolonged contact with the native culture's migrant group cannot prevent attrition. In fact, this can make the speaker more susceptible to interference.
A French study comparing isolated contact and continuous contact with immigrant communities found that frequently switching between two languages and activating the languages together eventually leads to native language attrition.
The brain cannot completely inhibit the second language when activating the first language, resulting in the interference of concepts from both. This gradual loss is characterized by restructured sentences and grammar.
It can be difficult to accept that you are no longer proficient in your native language. Like many other immigrants, I experienced culture shock upon my arrival to Canada. I longed to speak English as fluently as my peers. The desire to assimilate to a new culture can overpower the desire to maintain a native one. As a result, some children may even feel ashamed of their native language due to feelings of social rejection.
Eventually, these thoughts morph into an innate desire to forget the native language, which can have devastating effects on its maintenance.
A study on German fluency in Jewish Germans who immigrated to America just before or after the onset of World War II showed that there were drastic reductions in syntax and vocabulary compared to the successful maintenance of German in immigrants who were not affected by World War II.
Typical linguistic factors, such as age and language exposure, had little influence on attrition. Instead, the traumatic prosecution endured by Jewish Germans and their wish for acceptance from American society caused them to distance themselves from German culture, and in turn, the German language.
These factors pose a big problem for immigrants, especially of our generation, because language is so intertwined with culture and identity.
So how do we recover what has been lost? There needs to be just enough exposure to the language — but not too much — to prevent interference. Short periods of intense cultural exposure are the most ideal, especially if that exposure takes place in a person's native country.
A case study shows that perhaps even a 10-day visit is sufficient and can provide more opportunities for first language activation and language production than typical weekend language schools.
Bilingualism is not a black-and-white concept — it exists as a spectrum ranging from dominance of one language to a balanced state where the two languages are equally active. Languages are fluid and constantly changing along with our environment.
On my flight back to Toronto Pearson International Airport from Tianjin, the man sitting beside me asked if I could help translate his declaration card from English to Chinese because it was his first time flying to a foreign country. He then asked about the cultural differences that he would encounter in Canada. I realized that, despite my brief language attrition, perhaps that is the greatest benefit of bilingualism — the ability to bridge two cultures.

Net Entertainment Slots
South Park – Reel Chaos Slots
One of the two South Park themed slots offered by Net Entertainment, South Park – Reel Chaos takes our heroes and puts them in super hero costumes, as they fight against the evil Professor Chaos (who is actually Butters, dressed up as the villain). Being a licensed game, they've had the permission to use real shots from the series, so you get exactly the characters you expect. It's a great title if you're already a fan of South Park and you like slots as well.
There are 20 bet lines on the 5 reels of this game. They are host to a large number of features, mostly consisting in bonus games that will give you re-spins with multipliers, stacked wilds, overlay wilds, regular multipliers and scatter symbols. Payouts go as high as $50,000.
Features of South Park – Reel Chaos
One of the things I love about the South Park slots is the huge number of features that are part of them. This means mostly access to bonus games, which will get you free spins or some exciting fight, but there are wild symbols as well thrown in that mix.
First of all, I'm going to talk about the wild symbol, which will appear anywhere on the five reels of this game. Its substitution powers are the same as in every other game where a wild appears, with the bonus symbol not benefitting from its presence, as it usually happens.
Cartman's Stacked Wilds
One of the features that will trigger at random, without a certain symbol starting it up, is the Cartman's Stacked Wilds. In this bonus game, you will see Cartman as he tries to catch General Disarray, and as he does so he creates stacked wilds which he uses to slide down or to climb up the reels.
Kenny's Multiplier
In this bonus feature, Kenny fights Professor Chaos. It's a feature that gets activated at random and which will get you a multiplier between x3 and x5, applied to your wins from that round.
Stan's Multiplying Re-Spin
Even spins that get you no wins can be profitable eventually, but they will need the Stan's Multiplying Re-Spin feature to trigger. It starts after a spin that has no wins in it and it gives you a re-spin for free on all the reels of the game. This keeps happening until you get a winning combo out of it. Each time the re-spin happens, there is also a multiplier applied, going from x2 to x10, increasing after each round.
Kyle's Overlay Wilds
Once again, we have a feature that starts at random, without needing a certain symbol to be present. When it starts up, you will see that Kyle starts clearing reels and getting rid of evil minions, in the process creating three to five overlay wilds.
Mintberry Crunch Epic Bonus Spins
This feature starts up when you have the Bonus Mintberry Crunch symbol, with our superhero having to appear three times on the 1st, 3rd and 5th reels. It's a scatter symbol, so the exact position on those reels doesn't matter.
During the bonus game, Mintberry Crunch fights off up to four enemies. The prize is definitely better if all the enemies are defeated, with a bonus offered if the victory is total. There is also a multiplier that goes up by x1 after each enemy he defeats, up to a maximum of x4.
Betting options and jackpots
With 20 paylines, which can get up to 10 coins as part of the line wager, you can end up placing a 200 coins bet on a single spin. These coins vary between $0.01 and $0.50 with their denomination, $100 being the largest total value of the wager.
The game will reward you with up to 1,000x the line bet, or 10,000 coins. It should mean up to $5,000 in the base game, with multipliers offered by the features adding a lot to that number. In theory, it could go as high as $50,000, since multipliers of up to 10x are possible.
Design and symbols
The action takes place on the streets of South Park, a dangerous place where villains do their thing, but where there are also superheroes to stop them. With names like Mintberry Crunch or Professor Chaos, the funny characters from South Park will entertain us from the slot's 5 reels, while also offering access to about half a dozen different features. You get exactly the same graphics as in the TV series, so you know what to expect from it.
Symbols: Wild (wild), Mintberry Crunch (scatter), Professor Chaos (1,000x), The Coon (500x), Mysterion (300x), Toolshed (200x), Human Kite (150x), Ace (100x), King (75x), Queen (60x), Jack (50x) and 10 (40x).
Is It Worth Playing?
The game is a lot of fun, with plenty of features inside, with multipliers used in many situations and with free spins part of it as well. It adds a bit of flavor compared to the first South Park slot machine, so I would choose this one over the other.
South Park, TV Animated Series
South Park is a sitcom show, in animated form, which is produced in the United States. It's an adult show, designed with a mature audience in mind, using dark humor and crude language. It approaches a number of subjects through satire, the four heroes of the show being Stan, Cartman, Kenny and Kyle.
The first episode of the series was released in 1997 and since then it has aired for over 18 seasons, with more than 250 episodes released so far. During this time, it has won a Peabody Award and multiple Primetime Emmys.
The South Park – Reel Chaos slot machine is offered through the Net Entertainment platform, so if you want to play it for real or just to practice, look out for casinos that use it.

Changes in desire for control over time: Gender differences in a ten-year longitudinal study
Jerry M. Burger, Cecilia H. Solano
Undergraduate students from a predominantly white middle class student body who were administered the Desirability of Control Scale in 1980 completed the scale again in 1990. Males scored significantly higher on the scale than females, indicating a higher desire for control, in the initial sample. The males' scores did not differ significantly over the ten-year period. However, the female subjects' scores increased over the course of the decade to a point not significantly different from that of the males. Possible explanations of this effect concern changes in gender role expectations in the 1980's and changes in the women's preference for control following school and career experiences.
