St. Louis was a big Blues town in the 20s and 30s, and Mississippi born Henry was at the epicentre of the scene there. A fine singer, he recorded with his open-tuned slide guitar for Columbia in 1929 and Paramount in 1931. He taught himself to play piano and became one of the city's most versatile performers. Henry was a stalwart of the club scene in St. Louis for many decades, where his stubborn personality gained him the nick-name 'Mule'. His services were in high demand as a session man, most notably backing pianist Walter Davis on at least 100 tracks. Henry cut some more of his own songs for the Bluebird label in 1937, bringing his own total recorded output to a meagre 13 tracks, until his 're-discovery' in the 60s. His influence on the Blues was much stronger than this short catalogue would imply; in his day he was just as well regarded as his contemporaries Roosevelt Sykes and Peetie Wheatstraw. Henry continued to play the clubs and occasional Festivals and he was touring until the end of the century. His 1976 album 'Mule' was a reference to his nick-name and Henry continued to issue the occasional record every few years. In 2008 he was awarded a posthumous Grammy for his collaboration with Pinetop Perkins, 'Honeyboy' Edwards and Robert Jr. Lockwood on their album, Last of The Mississippi Delta Bluesmen.

The Rape of a 9-Year-Old Dalit Girl Shows Why India Can't Ignore Caste-Based Violence
'The continuous discrimination has been taking toll on our mental health since our birth.'
Madhavi Pothukuchi
"Don't shout and cry about it," the mother of a 9-year-old Dalit girl was reportedly told by a crematorium priest, after she found out her daughter was allegedly gang raped and murdered.
Last week, the girl was asked by her father to fetch water from a nearby crematorium in India's capital and she never returned. Hours later, her mother would go to the crematorium only to be told that her child was dead and forcibly cremated. The priest and three others have been arrested for child sexual abuse and committing crimes against scheduled castes and tribes.
India is a society deeply divided by caste. As Re:Set writer, Vaishnavi Suresh explains, "The multifold caste system divides people into two large sections: Brahmins and savarnas or communities with immense social capital and Bahujans, an umbrella term for Dalits, Adivasis, Vimukthi Jatis and some Shudras. The latter have been violently oppressed by the former for centuries."
"Bahujans are discriminated against since childhood. They're bullied in school, denied access to basic resources like food and water."
While Delhi and other parts of the country once again erupted in angry protests over the rape of yet another Dalit girl, the mainstream narrative, fuelled by major news outlets and politicians, started diminishing the fact that the child's caste had anything to do with it, drawing criticism from Dalit activists and people from the community on social media.
News outlets like The Indian Express and Hindustan Times did not mention the girl's caste identity in their headlines while leaders from the ruling party didn't address the case and many on social media only focused on the gender aspect of the crime.
When someone from an oppressed community sees that their identity, which is used to discriminate against them, is being conveniently ignored in the context of an atrocity, it adds to their experiences being invalidated. Not acknowledging the caste motivation behind a crime erases the fact that caste-based discrimination exists and is as prevalent as ever in a country where your caste determines your social capital, thus gaslighting an entire community about the centuries-old violence and discrimination they continue to face.
According to the 2018 Crime in India, there is a violent crime committed against a Dalit every 15 minutes and crimes against them have increased by 66% in the last decade.
"The popular discourse, mainstream media and political leaders only recognize the identity of our community when the election approaches. They don't recognize the plight of the community otherwise," Siddhesh Gautam, an artist and Ambedkarite, told Re:Set. "They only portray us as weak and dependent which gives power and motivation to the oppressor castes to oppress us more."
According to the 2011 census, Dalits account for 12.6% of India's population, and 28% of those who lived in urban India lived in the slums. According to the 2018 Crime in India report, there is a violent crime committed against a Dalit every 15 minutes and crimes against them have increased by 66% in the last decade.
Manjula Pradeep, a human rights activist and co-founder of the National Council of Women Leaders, says it's the systemic and long-term oppression that leads to severe trauma, which is often ignored.
"Bahujans are discriminated against since childhood. They're bullied in school, denied access to basic resources like food and water. So they develop an inferiority complex as children, which leads to a majority of them dropping out of school and being unemployed," Pradeep said, adding that this continuous cycle of discrimination often leads to a high rate of suicides among those belonging to the community.
"[The discrimination and invalidation] has been taking a toll on our mental health since our birth," Gautam said.
But when it comes to gruesome crimes like that of the 9-year-old Dalit girl or the Hathras gang rape last year where both families have had to fight for justice and basic redressal, caste acts as a major obstacle in even calling attention to the crime.
"To address the mental trauma suffered by the community, one must first acknowledge the existence of the trauma."
"Dalit women, of course, are worst affected as they are most vulnerable which is why we see such a high rate of sexual violence against them," she said. According to the 2019 report by the National Crime Record Bureau, out of the total 405,861 reported cases of assaults on women, 13,273 were against Dalit women.
While the impact of such horrific discrimination is deep and multi-layered, to say the least, what makes it worse is the lack of access to resources to address the mental health effects.
"Those who are directly affected by these discriminations and violence are most vulnerable to bad mental hygiene. They do have their own ways and spaces to acknowledge what they are going through, such as viharas, unions, societies, local community events and get together, festivals, celebrations, functions and NGOs, but most of these spaces don't have professional help and resources," Gautam said.
As protestors take to the streets and the media narrative takes shape in the 9-year-old's case, what is still missing is the acknowledgement of the caste motivation and its impact on the community. According to Pradeep, it would have to start with accepting the intersectional aspect of the crime which is rooted in caste-based gender violence.
"To address the mental trauma suffered by the community, one must first acknowledge the existence of the trauma. But this trauma is not even recognized by Indian law to begin with," she said. "Additionally, mental health by itself is still a taboo topic. So we need to first become conscious about the impact on the oppressed communities."

Hot Air Ballooning in India, A Snapshot of Humanity
Hot air ballooning outside of Jaipur, India
"This is indeed India, the land of dreams and romance, of fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty...the country of a thousand nations and a hundred tongues...the one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for the shows of all the rest of the globe combined."
-Mark Twain.
If India isn't on your bucket list, it should be. From food, to culture, to religion, India is easily one of the most interesting and beautiful places I've ever traveled to. This past October, I explored what is commonly referred to as India's "Golden Triangle," consisting of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Traveling through that northwestern circuit, I felt like I got a pretty good sense for the country and its overall character.
India had been on my bucket list for a while, and when the company I worked for offered me the opportunity to go, I jumped at the chance. Though I'd had a vague idea about what I expected India to be like, truly I didn't know what I was in for. As I started to research the destination more and more and speak with people who had been there before, I began to grow increasingly apprehensive. I was hearing all sorts of troubling things about the intense air pollution, lack of hygiene in food and water, crippling poverty, and manipulation of tourists. As a traveler my mindset has always been not to fear the world, but to explore it, so luckily none of this was enough to actually scare me out of going, but it certainly came close!
India at sunrise
Now after having gone and returned, I am so glad that I ignored the negative hype. I can honestly say that India is one of the most special places I have ever been. It's loud, chaotic, overwhelming, crazy, colorful, beautiful, and alive, and is home to some of the warmest, friendliest people I've ever met. Though I did and saw a lot during my trip, one memory is particularly striking and seems to sum up perfectly India as I experienced it...
Riding in a hot air balloon had always been something I'd wanted to try and when I realized I could do it in India, I knew I had to go for it. The idea was to wake up at 3:30 AM, drive out of the city into the countryside of Jaipur, and float through the sky on a hot air balloon as the sun began to rise. It sounded nice enough, but beyond that, I really had no idea what to expect. In the end, what started as an aimless adventure turned out to be an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life.
Hot air ballooning over rural India
It was 3:30 AM in the middle of Jaipur, India, as I waited outside the hotel lobby for a shuttle to come pick me up for my "hot air balloon ride experience". The van pulled up to the hotel with the logo for the hot air balloon company "Sky Waltz Balloon Safari" displayed broadly on its side and though the driver spoke no English, only Hindi, I decided I should get in. It was pitch-black and the city was still asleep as we drove out of town, a shocking contrast to the lively hustle and bustle of daytime life in India. After about an hour of driving, we pulled up to a massive, open field surrounded by mountains as we were met by a big group of westerners all standing around in the dark. Our group waited eagerly as the hot air balloon attendants filled up the balloons, blazes of ignition fire lighting them up in the darkness.
Preparing the balloon for takeoff
My group of eight westerners and our Spanish balloon conductor boarded our balloon as they briefed us on the takeoff and landing procedures, and then all at once, we were airborne. At first it was terrifying as we rose quickly up into the sky, with nothing but the balloon's basket as a barrier between us and the open air. We started floating up over the countryside as the sun was beginning to rise and the villages were starting to wake up.
We weren't flying, but floating, rising high above the earth, above everything else, taking in the world from a totally new perspective. It was so quiet and peaceful up there, unlike anything I had ever experienced. There were nine of us total on the balloon but none of us said a word. We just stood there taking the whole thing in, in total awe of what surrounded us. It was completely silent but for the sounds of the villages below; only birds and crickets, the occasional motorbike, and then kids and families rushing up to the roofs of their little houses waving and yelling "Hello! Good morning!" to us, could be heard.
The locals waving and calling out to us in our balloon
We sailed up over the mountains and glided above the clouds. As people began waking up and starting their morning routines, we could hear the call to prayer in the distance. People would catch sight of the balloon and without hesitation, every single person, regardless of age or gender, smiled up at us excitedly and waved, or waved back when we did first. This trivial action of waving hello was such a foreign concept for me as a westerner; the idea that an utter stranger would go out of their way to recognize me for no reason at all other than simply to be friendly was unusual and exciting. The pure innocence of such a small but meaningful gesture, repeated constantly by every person we encountered, was just so strikingly beautiful to me. How excited we all were to wave and acknowledge each other combined with the rarity and amazement of people in hot air balloons drifting over the country fields was like something out of a fairytale.
Landscape of rural Jaipur
People from several of the surrounding village fields watched as our balloon finally began to descend, and came running towards the field where we were sinking down to meet us. Once we had landed, we were met by a group of at least a hundred villagers, all dressed in the most vivid red, yellow, pink, and orange-colored saris I have ever seen. They shyly gathered in front of the balloon, all of us giggling and waving and smiling and taking pictures of each other and together, though still we remained divided by the confines of the balloon's basket. None of us knew what to do with each other and we were all so interested in the other group. It was like neither the westerners nor the locals even really had any idea that the other existed before that moment and we were all pleasantly curious about each other, wanting to be able to do more, say more, learn more, about the other but just didn't know how. The humanity in it all was so powerful that I started to cry and laugh at the same time, I was so overcome with emotion brought about by the purity of the encounter. It was the most human experience I've ever had.
A group of the locals who came out to greet us
The longer we stayed there the more people gathered from the surrounding fields to see us. We couldn't communicate at all, not even the balloon conductor spoke Hindi or the local dialect as he was from Spain, so we tried to gesture to each other by smiling and using body language. We were all very shy with each other, especially some of the other girls that were around my age; it was like we came from two completely different worlds but somehow we were also exactly the same. Everyone was buzzing with excitement and the novelty of it all was overwhelming; it was so unusual to feel so connected to another group that we couldn't even properly speak to. The villagers standing closest to me indicated that they wanted to invite me to their homes to eat and drink something, which was shocking to me as we couldn't even speak a common language. I was a complete stranger seemingly from another life and these lovely people still wanted to invite me to come to their homes to feed me and offer me warmth and hospitality. Of course I had to decline and go back to the city with the balloon tour, but the gesture was profoundly touching. I was so moved by that, I can't even find the words to properly describe the feeling. Despite our differences, we're all humans, and whichever walks of life we come from, we can still find common ground in basic humanity. Friendliness, warmth, hospitality, and kindness can be universally communicated without any need for language.
Taking a selfie with my new friends
I was warned a lot before coming to India about all manner of things; the food, the people, the hygiene; I was prepared for the worst, but in the end my experience was nothing but wonderful and genuine. If I learned one thing from the people in India, I realized how easy it is to just make the first move to be friendly. It's such a small gesture to smile or say hello and it's always immediately reciprocated with a wave and a big smile. It was like that all over India, everyone so friendly, kind, and warm, everywhere I went. From walking the streets, to being stuck in traffic, to standing in a hot air balloon amidst a group of strangers; I just smiled or waved, and was always received with the hugest, warmest, friendliest smile, and it was like we had been friends all along. Nowhere else I've been have I felt like that. I smiled so hard in India that my cheeks hurt; I still cannot stop smiling just to remember it.
The kindness and beauty shown to me in India was truly overwhelming. Yes the landscapes were expansive, the cities exciting, and the food delicious, but for me, the most extraordinary part of India was the people. Experiencing a culture that breeds this sort of innate warmth opened my eyes to the beauty of the world in more ways than I ever could have imagined. Though my entire journey in India was incredible, it ended up being something as whimsical as a hot air balloon ride through the countryside that turned out to be an experience so profound that I will carry it with me for the rest of my life.

Honey Ginseng Green Tea was featured on "What's in" on NBC's Today show.
Since I really like each of the ingredients in this tea,it was only natural (and it is) that I would want to try all three together in one cuppa. Republic of Tea has not disappointed me.
I have stepped away from coffee during weekday mornings and now sip on Daily Green with Ginseng and honey. I feel great when starting my day with this tea. No need to sweeten but I do add a tough of local honey to round out the experience.
A very pleasant tasting tea with satisfying results.
I typically favor black teas. This one, however, is my go-to tea when I am a bit under the weather. It has honey already in it, though a spoon of honey enriches the flavor. It is low in caffeine, warm and soothing. And because it is low in caffeine, I can drink multiple cups and it won't impact my rest.
I love honey in my tea and this pleasant green tea lets me have the taste of honey without having the added sugar!

Royall Tyler to Mildred Barnes Bliss, May 28, 1931
28.V.31Thursday.
Dearest Mildred,
Just a line to tell you that the Byz. Show has opened its gates to a dense multitude, and that I'm sending to you the first copy of the CatalogueCharles Diehl, Jean Ebersolt, and Royall Tyler, Exposition internationale d'art byzantin, 28 mai–9 juillet 1931 (Paris: Musée des arts décoratifs, 1931). This copy of the catalogue remains at the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection. that arrived from the printers. It's full of mistakes, but it will serve to show you what we have got together. A further edition with Supplement and corrections will follow shortly.
The Show looks marvellous, and everyone seems to like it.In his exhibition review ("The Byzantine Exhibition in Paris," The Burlington Magazine for Connoisseurs 59, no. 340 [July 1931]: 27–29, 32–33), Robert Byron wrote: "The organizers of the exhibition of Byzantine art . . . deserve a lasting gratitude. Byzantine art has been called by those cognizant only of its most hackneyed manifestations a static art, confined within rigid and unchanging formulas. Not only have the organizers of the exhibition succeeded, with immense persistence, in transporting to Paris the treasured and little-known possessions of cathedrals and monasteries that have laid undisturbed for hundreds of years. But they have assembled a collection of objects which illustrate the innumerable modifications of taste and technique that in fact overtook East Christian art from the fourth to the fifteenth centuries. . . . And since this is the first exhibition of its kind, it is necessarily the first time that any of them have been placed in their evolutionary background." See also Louis Bréhier, "L'Exposition d'art byzantin au pavillon de Marsan," Formes 15 (May 1931): 79–81; René Dussaud, "Les Monuments syriens à l'Exposition d'art byzantin," Syria 12, no. 4 (1931): 305–15; Comte J. de Borchgrave d'Altena, "Orfèvreries mosanes à l'Exposition d'art byzantin (Paris 28 mai—4 juillet 1931)," Revue belge d'archéologie et d'histoire l'art 1, no. 4 (1931): 309–14; and Guillaume de Jerphanion, "Le calice d'Antioche à l"Exposition d'art byzantin," Byzantion 6 (1931): 613–21. I hope it will be a good draw—and I particularly hope that I won't have to be away from Paris much while it is on: I've got to go to London for a few days next week, but after that I hope to be here.
There's going to be a big Illustrated Ed. of the Catalogue,This was published by Georges Duthuit and Wolfgang Friedrich Volbach as Art byzantin: Cent planches reproduisant un grand nombre de pièces choisies parmi les plus représentatives des diverses tendances (Paris: A. Lévy, 1933), with an introduction by Georges Salles. but I have regretfully declined the honour of doing it, as the work would be enormous and I'd have again to defer for a year coming out with our Vol. I,L'art byzantin. which would begin to look ridiculous after so much announcement.
There are no news about the miniature Mosaic of the 40 Martyrs,Hayford Peirce acquired the icon from Géza Dános (1886–1990), a Jewish Hungarian collector, in Paris in 1931, and his widow, Polly, gave it to the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection in his memory of in October 1947. and I'm making no enquiries, as I'm certain the owner is up to all sorts of dodges, thinking he's going to get a big price. He may after all, one day when he's pressed for money, come back to uncle and take his medicine.
Seeing all those indifferent people at the Show made me feel sick at the thought of your absence. Thank you so much for the cable re Marañon.See cable of May 25, 1931. Probably Gregorio Marañón y Posadillo (1887–1960), a Spanish physician, scientist, historian, writer, and philosopher. The Spanish things haven't come yet, but they are promised firm.The objects in the exhibition lent from Spain were the Missorium of Theodosius I, Real Academia de la Historia, Madrid, and the Skylitzes Mitritensis manuscript, Ms Graecus Vitr. 26-2, Biblioteca National de España, Madrid. See Exposition internationale d'art byzantin, 28 mai–9 juillet 1931 (Paris: Musée des arts décoratifs, 1931), 116 and 173, nos. 341 and 655.
Bless you, dearest Mildred

Bengal famine ~ the cruel administrator and our History hailing British Rule
After earning a very bad name when it comes to imposing restrictions on people, the West Bengal government has finally buckled up and readied a special police force to ensure that the full lockdowns on July 23, July 25 and July 29 are abided by. The focus in on Kolkata — as the city is seeing a huge spike in the number of the cases. According to news reports, 28 areas have been identified in the city where special police teams comprising five police officers will be posted. .. .. this is a post on Bengal but where Mamta has no relevance.
During my school days, I was an avid reader of History in Text books reading many times and remembering by heart the various Viceroys, the British rules, the good governance, how good they were, and how freedom was obtained without 'drop of blood' .. .. the books taught of the various good things that occurred during the British rule, foremost among them being Railways, Postal system – but not a single word on plundering, anarchy, divisive politics and the way millions were made to die not to speak of those millions who fought for the British in unknown territories not knowing who their enemies were !!
I read about Cripps Mission led by Sir Richard Stafford Cripps, CH, QC, FRS, a British Labour Party politician, barrister, and diplomat. A wealthy lawyer by background, he first entered Parliament at a by-election in 1931, and was one of a handful of Labour frontbenchers to retain his seat at the general election that autumn. He became a leading spokesman for the left-wing and co-operation in a Popular Front with Communists before 1939, in which year he was expelled from the Labour Party. During World War II, he served as Ambassador to the USSR causing him to be seen in 1942 as a potential rival to Winston Churchill for the premiership. He became a member of the War Cabinet of the wartime coalition.
May be as a move to keep him away from British politics, he was sent to India heading a Mission. The Cripps Mission was a failed attempt in late March 1942 by the British government to secure full Indian cooperation and support for their efforts in World War II. Cripps was sent to negotiate an agreement with the nationalist Congress leaders, who spoke for the majority Indians and Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the Muslim League, who spoke for the communalist Muslim population. Cripps worked to keep India loyal to the British war effort in exchange for a promise of elections and full self-government (Dominion status) once the war was over. Cripps was a friend of Nehru and did his utmost to arrange an agreement. In India, he also faced hostility from the Viceroy, Lord Linlithgow. He began by offering India full dominion status at the end of the war, with the Indian Defence Ministry be reserved for the British.
The man who had sent him - Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill (1874 – 1965) was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945, when he led the country to victory in the Second World War, and again from 1951 to 1955. Apart from two years between 1922 and 1924, Churchill was a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1900 to 1964 and represented a total of five constituencies. Of mixed English and American parentage, Churchill was born in Oxfordshire to a wealthy, aristocratic family.
Widely considered one of the 20th century's most significant figures, Churchill remains popular in the UK and Western world, where he is seen as a victorious wartime leader who played an important role in defending Europe's liberal democracy from the spread of fascism. Also praised as a social reformer and writer, among his many awards was the Nobel Prize in Literature. Conversely, his imperialist views and comments on race, as well as some wartime events like the 1945 bombing of Dresden, have generated controversy. During the recent protests in UK his statue was defaced. The Black Lives Matter protester who 'tagged' the statue of Winston Churchill said he did it because he believes Britain's greatest Prime Minister was a 'confirmed racist' who cared more about colonialism than black people.
The Bengal famine of 1943 was the only one in modern Indian history not to occur as a result of serious drought, according to a study that provides scientific backing for arguments that Churchill-era British policies were a significant factor contributing to the catastrophe. The Guardian reported that researchers in India and the US used weather data to simulate the amount of moisture in the soil during six major famines in the subcontinent between 1873 and 1943. Soil moisture deficits, brought about by poor rainfall and high temperatures, are a key indicator of drought.
Five of the famines were correlated with significant soil moisture deficits. An 11% deficit measured across much of north India in 1896-97, for example, coincided with food shortages across the country that killed an estimated 5 million people. However, the 1943 famine in Bengal, which killed up to 3 million people, was different, according to the researchers. Though the eastern Indian region was affected by drought for much of the 1940s, conditions were worst in 1941, years before the most extreme stage of the famine, when newspapers began to publish images of the dying on the streets of Kolkata, then named Calcutta, against the wishes of the colonial British administration.
Food supplies to Bengal were reduced in the years preceding 1943 by natural disasters, outbreaks of infections in crops and the fall of Burma – now Myanmar – which was a major source of rice imports, into Japanese hands. More recent studies, have argued the famine was exacerbated by the decisions of Winston Churchill's wartime cabinet in London. It is documented that the cabinet was warned repeatedly that the exhaustive use of Indian resources for the war effort could result in famine, but it opted to continue exporting rice from India to elsewhere in the empire. Rice stocks continued to leave India even as London was denying urgent requests from India's viceroy for more than 1m tonnes of emergency wheat supplies in 1942-43. Churchill has been quoted as blaming the famine on the fact Indians were "breeding like rabbits", and asking how, if the shortages were so bad, Mahatma Gandhi was still alive.
The Bengal famine of 1943 is a dark chapter in the annals of Indiah history whence an estimated 2.1–3 million, out of a population of 60.3 million, died of starvation, malaria, or other diseases aggravated by malnutrition, population displacement, unsanitary conditions and lack of health care. Millions were impoverished as the crisis overwhelmed large segments of the economy and catastrophically disrupted the social fabric. Eventually, families disintegrated; men sold their small farms and left home to look for work or to join the British Indian Army, and women and children became homeless migrants, often travelling to Calcutta or other large cities in search of organised relief. The financing of military escalation led to war-time inflation, as land was appropriated from thousands of peasants
Now read this report too to understand the way still the British treat India ! - Historians have criticised the BBC for an 'unbalanced' News At Ten report claiming Churchill was responsible for the 'mass killing' of up to three million people in the 1943 Bengal Famine. A section broadcast on Tuesday examined how modern Indians view the wartime prime minster as part of a series on Britain's colonial legacy, and featured a series of damning statements about his actions. Rudrangshu Mukherjee of Ashoka University in India, said Churchill was seen as a 'precipitator' of mass killing' due to his policies, while Oxford's Yasmin Khan claimed he could be guilty of 'prioritising white lives over Asian lives' by not sending relief. But today historians said the report ignored the complexities behind the famine in favour of squarely blaming Churchill. World War Two expert James Holland argued he had tried to help but faced a lack of resources due to the war against Japan.
The historian James Holland weighed into the row today, insisting that Churchill faced immense difficulties supplying Bengal due to the amount of British resources tied up in the fight against the Japanese in the Pacific. 'In light of the latest furore over the Bengal Famine and people wrongly still insisting it was Churchill's fault, here's this on the subject,' he tweeted. 'His accusers don't a) understand how the war worked, or b) that his hands were tied over use of Allied shipping.'
Churchill's legacy has been attacked in other quarters, with a group of civil servants recently complaining that they did not feel 'comfortable' with having a room in the Treasury named after him. The subject of Churchill's racial attitudes and whether they taint his modern legacy has become one of the most controversial areas of historical debate.
So for the British Historians who could not however deny the fact that millions lost their lives, it should be seen as Churchill didn't cause the disaster but could not do much because of the circumstances ! ~ then why is he hailed as a great administrator ? Winston Churchill was at the helm, down-playing the crisis and arguing against re-supplying Bengal to preserve ships and food supplies for the war effort. Secretary of State for India at that time, Leopold Amery recorded that Churchill suggested any aid sent would be insufficient because of 'Indians breeding like rabbits'.
Sadly, Indian History appears far different reading authentic sources and far away from what was represented in School History books. One's heart would cry and melt to think that masses seen in the photo at the start were queuing in lines for porridge or rice gruel.

Geology (1985) 13 (7): 499-502.
Pillow lavas of Cretaceous and Neogene age well exposed in Hokkaido, Japan, and those of Neogene age in North Island, New Zealand, provide evidence of their mode of growth. Some pillow lobes diverge by formation of longitudinal surface spreading cracks; the others grow by formation of transverse spreading cracks, leaving one or more crusts ending toward the front of the lobes and constrictions. Therefore, it is possible to determine the direction of growth of pillow lobes by tracing the crusts and/or constrictions.

I just updated the Alpha with TopsMaleSpandex for your dressing pleasure.
A note about how these work. Inspired by something Mark Shute did in HM2.x, I have a set of base spandex tops with sleeves of varying lengths. Think of these as your "base" tops. You can then layer (using the "Multiples" setting) the other pieces over it to create shirts of different types. For instance, you could have a short-sleeve shirt with a deep V neck, or a scoop neck, by swapping out which neck piece you use. You could even color the neck piece the skin colors to make it look like it's part of the character's body.
I've only played around with it a bit, but it's a very subtly powerful way to create. By mixing and matching the pieces you can make some really varied effects; I look forward to seeing what you all come up with.
As usual, let me know any items you would like, but don't see, or any bugs you come across.
Eventually I'll flesh out the Tops slot with more expanded sets like in 2.x, with Coats and Overshirt type items, but for now these two ought to give you a lot to work with.
Tomorrow I'll be adding any spandex tops I've forgotten, and then will move on to facial slots (Nose, Eyes, etc.). So holler if there's anything in that regard you want to see.
Excellent! Can't wait for the matching leg ones; being able to do blocks of different colors in geometric patterns is where it's at when making superhero costumes.
I have a small bug issue for you, Jeff: On the ninja mask on the headgear slot – the one with the slot for the eyes – when I try to put a pattern over it (a grayscale pattern) it covers not only the mask, but the face under it as well… It could be doing the same thing to other headgear items as well, but that's the only one I've noticed.
@Jeff: Will there be Brick and Teen poses in HM3? GOTCHA! Just messin' with you.
the knight gloves dont work unles there is hands to mach them. patterns on hands dont work!!!!!!!!
I hope an open leather jacket.
Tristan, there are "generic" armored hands, do you have to have specific ones for each glove? I didn't bother while drawing the hands to match them because they all pretty much look the same to me.
For the facial slots, it seems that there were TONS of options for zombie and demonic monster noses, mouths, eyes, etc. Could we get some alien varieties so that not all of the heroes generated need to be human? I know you can't infringe on copyrighted material, but sometimes it would be fun to make a Skrull soldier, or a star trek/star wars alien species. So some variations on noses, foreheads, chins, eyebrows, etc, would be great. Like Klingons, Cardsians, Gem-Hadar, the cone-head jedi, Plo-Koon, etc. The more facial options the better. I'd love to be able to use more than just pointy ears.


Microlearning is a term that refers to bite-sized pieces of learning content, usually in video format, that learners can quickly access.
You can watch a video about training while you stand in the middle of an aisle at JoAnn's.
There's an endless list of possibilities.
Conversely, the list of reasons why I love the microlearning approach is actually pretty short. Let's take a look at 3 factors that can make microlearning a powerful addition to your instructional design practice.
Microlearning is most effective when it targets only one thing at a time. Let's use a basic task—say, how to create a new event in SalesForce—for a little thought experiment.If we were to design a microlearning experience to address this task, we'd assume that our learners only need help with making a new event in SalesForce. They probably aren't seeking a video on the History of Sales Software or the entire curriculum of SalesForce 101. Digression makes the experience less useful for those in need of performance support, so we'd want to keep our focus narrow.
If microlearning isn't intended to be used as performance support, and is instead conceptual, then I'm of the opinion that it should still only cover one idea, and it should still be brief. Remember, the goal of microlearning is to create a learning experience that a person can complete while waiting for his lunch to cook in the toaster oven, or at the end of the day while defrosting her car.
Video is often referenced as the preferred medium for microlearning, as it's short, media-rich with visual and audio, and is easily accessible by learners who are now both mobile and accustomed to platforms like YouTube and Vimeo.
Since microlearning aims to capture the feel and accessibility of these popular video platforms, it means that you might not have to invest a ton of production resources into it to achieve credibility. (That's not to say that you want to disregard quality entirely—just that it's not too difficult or expensive these days to create a decent video.) Effort can be spent towards making the content genuine rather than flashy.
We want to capture the feeling that employees get when they pop their head through a mentor's office door: instant guidance and advice. The difference is, with microlearning, employees can get that advice anywhere, and they don't have to interrupt a fellow employee to get it!
It fits well with other types of learning experiences.
Given the right approach, microlearning can be a powerful tool to support and advance learning. However, I don't mean to suggest that it's a panacea for all training challenges.
With a microlearning-style video or blog post, you can determine if learners watched or read the material, but you can't validate whether they can actually replicate the task or apply the concept in some meaningful way. Other proponents of microlearning suggest using social media to have learners upload pictures or videos of their own performance in action. I like this idea, and I think it can work if you have an active network of performers in your organization.
But in some situations, you need the ability to observe learners' behaviors and provide coaching on a more granular level. One example would be new-hire software training. New employees don't have any context for how software is used and microlearning videos might be confusing and overwhelming. Robust e-learning, in the form of realistic software simulations, may be best here—then you can provide coaching at the gesture level that microlearning can't provide. But videos demonstrating tasks in the software would be a great supplemental tool for new hires, and could serve as a reference for more experienced employees as well.
Microlearning is most effective when it targets only one thing at a time. Let's use a basic task—say, how to create a new event in SalesForce—for a little thought experiment.
(Those of us who advocate for performance-focused e-learning have been espousing similar ideas for years).


Trans activist, author, and civil liberties advocate Chelsea Manning, who is currently serving a thirty-five year prison sentence for disclosing classified documents to Wikileaks, may finally be granted reprieve.According to NBC News, President Obama has put Chelsea on his short list for possible commutation, and she may see a decision about her future as early as next Wednesday. Chelsea submitted a request to Obama last month asking that her sentence be reduced to the time she has already served, emphasizing the torturous conditions she has faced over the past six years as a trans woman subjected to an all-male prison. The request was accompanied by a petition on the White House website which gathered over a 100,000 signatures, obligating the White House to respond.
International human rights groups have spoken out overwhelmingly in her support, describing Chelsea as "oversentenced" and her prosecution as "aggressive" and "harsh." The ACLU has fought hard for her cause. Chelsea's petition was also accompanied by well known advocates, who have made clear that Chelsea was acting in order to inform the world of serious human rights abuses perpetrated by the United States.
The harshness of Chelsea's sentence is well documented. A former State Department spokesperson alled her prosecution "ridiculous and counterproductive and stupid." Unnamed Army intelligence officers have confessed to NBC news that her sentence was excessive. Not only is Chelsea's sentence unconstitutionally, unfairly, and unacceptably disproportionate to the crimes that she committed, but Chelsea has been tormented in prison, where she has been repeatedly placed in solitary confinement. Moreover, Chelsea faces another set of unique problems as a trans woman in an all-male prison at Fort Leavenworth. Chelsea has twice attempted to commit suicide in the six years she has spent there, after struggling tooth and nail for basic lifesaving medical care.
Chelsea's imprisonment is a blemish on the record of a country that claims to stand for freedom of speech, democracy, and progressive values. Obama must use the last of his tenure to commute her sentence, especially since Chelsea may not survive the next four years of a fascist, authoritarian, right-wing Trump administration. As Chelsea's attorney Chase Strangio has pointed out, doing so could strengthen Obama's legacy of "standing up for trans people's rights," and be a step towards correcting his administration's failure in systemically mistreating her.
The world deserves a freed Chelsea Manning, with the force of all of her positivity, activism, and kindness, in times of fear, cruelty, and hatred. Chelsea, more than anything, deserves to finally have her "first chance to live my life outside the [United States Disciplinary Barracks] as the person I was born to be." Chelsea's aunt, Deborah Manning, has highlighted this opportunity as "the last hope" Chelsea could have for a while. It would be a fitting time now for a President who ran his campaign on the promise of hope, to deliver on that as one of his final acts in the Oval Office.

BUMS student goes missing in Awantipora
by KNO
in Kashmir
Pulwama, Aug 21: A Bachelor in Unani Medicine and Surgery (BUMS) student from Awantipora area of South Kashmir's Pulwama district has been missing for the last four days and there are no traces of him since then.
Aadil Rashid Bhat, son of Abdul Rashid Bhat of Charsoo Batpora village of Awantipora area of Pulwama district, who was a last semester student of BUMS at Tibiya College Sumbal is missing since Tuesday afternoon.
Altaf Ahmad, brother of Aadil told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that on Tuesday afternoon after having lunch, he offered Zuhr prayers with him and since then he didn't return home.
"We contacted all our relatives, his friends and other people but nobody has any clue about him," he said, adding that after failing to trace him, they lodged a missing report at Police Station Awantipora.
"Since then, we have been searching him everywhere but so far we haven't got any clue about him," he said while requesting everyone to kindly allow his brother to return home if he is with anyone.
He said that he was a brilliant student and has secured 94 per cent marks in Class 10th examinations while he has got around 90 per cent marks in 12th class examinations.
He was never arrested before and hasn't even taken part in street protests, he said.
Pertinently, three local youth including a lone son of a family from the particular village have joined militancy since July 2020.
A senior police officer told KNO that a BUMS student from Awantipora is missing and the efforts are on to trace him. He added that it would be premature to say whether he has joined any militant organization as investigation in this regard is going on.

Long-term impact of the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games on sport participation: A cohort analysis
Aizawa, K, Wu, J, Inoue, Yuhei ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1983-6217 and Sato, M (2017) Long-term impact of the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games on sport participation: A cohort analysis. Sport Management Review, 21 (1). pp. 86-97. ISSN 1441-3523
Official URL: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/...
© 2017 Sport Management Association of Australia and New Zealand The sport participation rate has been shown to decrease with age in many countries. In Japan, however, the elderly sport participation rate has increased over the last decade and is the highest among all Japanese. This study investigated whether the cohort effect generated by the shared experience of hosting the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games during their youth can explain the increased sport participation of elderly Japanese. Data from the Japanese National Sport-Life Survey over 20 years were analyzed through regression analysis. The results show that, after controlling for demographics and other determinants of sport participation, individuals who experienced the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games participated in sport more frequently than other generations.

Sharing Secrets to Scoring the Hottest Sneakers
Posted January 3, 2018 11:41 p.m. EST
By JOANNA NIKAS, New York Times
NEW YORK — Sneaker Con, a gathering of shoe fanatics founded in 2009, brought 500 vendors and more than 19,000 people to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York late last year. The heart and soul of the event was the trading pit, an area in the back of the 840,000-square-foot center where sellers, mostly teenage boys, were talking and holding up their sneakers, looking for buyers. The experience was overwhelming, confusing (where are their parents?) and educational. Here's what the sneaker experts had to say for themselves.
Antonio Linares
Specializes in authentication of product, @fake_education
What are the things you look for first when authenticating sneakers?
Ultimately it always comes down to craftsmanship, detail and the material used. The counterfeit industry is going to get as close as possible to the original materials, but they cut corners and use inferior products. Stitching is usually a big thing to check across the board, whether it is a hoodie or a pair of shoes.
What are some of the biggest differences between real and fake sneakers?
A common difference amongst real from fakes is usually on inside size tags of sneakers, as well as on the box labels. The font style is 99.9 percent different, always. On Yeezys, for example, since they are some of the most counterfeited items I see, I look at the stitching; build structure; wherever it says "boost"; the font style; and the box.
On eBay, some users will post photos of the real shoes but then send counterfeit ones. How do you know you are not getting scammed?
I personally do not use eBay. Why I started @fake_education was by getting scammed on eBay.
What about people with good ratings?
Buy from somebody credible, from somebody reputable that has a reputation to uphold. To be 100 percent certain, buy from somewhere that has a return policy. Somewhere that if it gets out that they sold a fake, that it's going to tarnish the image.
What are the top counterfeit items that you see?
Anything made by Adidas: the Yeezys, NMD, Ultraboost. They're selling off demand as well. For example, a general release NMD or an Ultraboost shoe holds almost no resale value, but that's some of the most popular replicas on the market, because people are not even thinking that they're buying a counterfeit. Whereas when it comes to Yeezys, they're calling every lifeline possible to prove legitimacy. But when you come up to somebody with a pair that's $180 in store and they're giving it to you for, let's say, $150, you just think you're getting a good deal, right? Little do you know, they bought it for 60 bucks.

How do you know when a sneaker will be an investment?
Now it's a lot of hype. Kanye West drops something and all the kids are running, and a month or two months later, the price just drops. We don't buy into the hype stuff. We buy stuff that held its value over time. We have sneaker patents. We have one-of-a-kind Yeezy samples. We specialize in prototype, samples, vintage, rare samples.
How do you know when something will generate hype?
Right now the market is all hype.
So your strategy is that you look for rare and unique sneakers that you know will hold value. What are some of the rarest pieces you have?
1985 Air Jordan 1s; we have the largest collection. That's my favorite part of our collection, just because it holds so much history — it's the first year of the Jordan. We have signed Julius Erving Converse sneakers. We have Yeezy samples, a few different colorways that have never been seen.
How many sneakers do you have in your collection?
My sisters and I have over 6,000 pairs, but we stopped counting. Our dad started the collection over 25 years ago, and we took it over about five or six years ago.
What are you looking for when buying sneakers?
It depends on the sneaker. Let's say I were buying a 1985 Air Jordan: I would look at the yellowing, the cracking in the paint. If it's metallic, that's a big issue. You can use sneaker-cleaning products, and a lot of issues when it comes to yellowing just happen with age. So if you can get a dead stock pair from, like, '85 or the '90s and it has no yellowing, the value is just astronomically more.
Tips for sneaker care?
We store our collection in an air-conditioned, no-humidity storage room. If it's a collection piece, you want to keep it away from a lot of lights — they could yellow it.

What is your favorite sneaker?
The Nike Air Max 1. If we have to kind of go down to actual colorway, it would be the 2002 or 2003 Atmos colorway. It has a very safari, fun print to it.
You told me that you've waited years to find a pair of shoes. Which ones were they?
The Nike Air Max 1s in the Amsterdam colorway. I've probably spent now nine or 10 years looking for them. For the longest time, I refused to pay the high prices for them. I broke down this year.
$1,500.
What is the most you would pay for sneakers?
Most recently I have been contemplating purchasing the real auto-lacing Nike Air Mags, the "Back to the Future" shoes which were released last year. Today they go for anywhere from $23,000 to about $60,000. I found a pair on eBay for $33,000, and I talked them down to $27,000. If I do get them, that will be the most expensive pair of shoes I will ever purchase in my life. The price of a nice decent car. Tips for getting your hands on hard-to-get sneakers?
It's tough. Today I try to be as safe as possible. I use eBay much more rarely. I am involved with the resell shop Stadium Goods here in New York City. I try to buy most of my shoes from there, just because they're authenticated.
What are some tips for eBay?
I generally look at sellers that have excellent feedback on eBay. I always look at people who write their name.
How do you care for your sneakers?
I do sometimes use Mylar bags. For people who've collected comic books out there, they use Mylar bags to keep them from getting the acid air or whatever it is from boxes. I also sometimes take out the insoles and throw them in with my bleach cycle, or I also use vinegar. You wash your underwear and your socks, but you'd never wash insoles. Those guys get pretty nasty.

First, how many pairs of sneakers do you have?
About 4,500 pairs. I've got a storage facility. I've been collecting since maybe 1996. So it's been a long time to accumulate a lot of shoes.
Favorite sneakers?
Supreme Dunk High Stars. I just love the whole aesthetic of them. The embossed croc leather, the gold stars. The fact that they brought out three, it was very premium at that time.
How do you know what shoes will be investments later?
Trends are moving so quickly nowadays that it's hard to predict. A pair that you've hedged a lot of bets on and think that is going to be very hot, eight months later doesn't end up being so hot because the kids don't get into it. But if a brand puts enough money behind something, it's generally a sure winner. So looking at 2018, we're hoping that Nike comes back because I've had a tough couple of years. And Adidas either maintained or even improves on the previous year.
How can you tell a counterfeit sneaker from a real?
There's lots of telltale signs: the box, the sticker tags, the inside label. If you know that there's a certain number that comes out of a shoe and someone's got 15, 20 pairs, you've got to think that's a little bit suspect.
Any tips on getting limited-edition sneakers?
You can try to get lucky with a raffle or a queue. Try eBay. Or even like Sneak Con is the best way to get what you want and what you need. The prices might be inflamed, but think of it as an investment piece. If you love it that much, go for it. Why not?

When did you start collecting sneakers?
I started as a hobby when I was 13. And my parents just didn't want to support it at first. So I just had to resell sneakers to make money to buy myself more sneakers.
What are some tips for people trying to get sneakers?
You go to events like Sneaker Con and make a bunch of connections, and you just text them. You say, "Yo, how much is this? How much is this?" You just eventually get all of it.
What sneakers are you looking at for 2018?
Probably hoping Nike SBs. I know SBs died out a little, but hopefully they come back.
Tips for authentication?
When you over and over look at the same shoe, you can just tell. And there is this Instagram @fake_education. He's one of my boys; he does it.
What the most you've ever paid for sneakers?
$14,000 for a sample for myself. It was a sample Air Jordan. What are your tips for sneaker drops?
It kind of gets hectic at sneaker drops. I used to camp out with my brothers all the time. I used to pay kids $50, $100, but I stopped doing that now.
What about eBay?
I used to when I first started out. I used to get clean used shoes on eBay, buy them and clean them up and try to make them look close to new.

What are some of your tips for sneaker care?
Occasionally I just use a wipe. It could be a household wipe, a Crep Protect or a Jason Markk wipe. It's pretty easy to take out the insole, and then I leave it out to air dry.
That's driven by supply and demand. I think kids are hip and know when things are limited, and that's really the impetus for a reason to buy. Whenever a Yeezy 350 comes out, people know that quantity is quite limited, and that is a driving factor.
What the most you've paid for sneakers?
I've been in the footwear industry so long, I don't think I have to have paid for sneakers in the last 15 years. It sounds like I'm spoiled, but I've been very fortunate to be in this industry where I haven't had to pay for my own shoes. I pay for shoes for my son.
What is your son wearing?
He's wearing Jordan 1s. He enjoys mixing them up, so he has one blue and one red. We bought two pairs to accomplish that.
What was you first pair of sneakers?
It was a Nike Jordan. I think seventh or eighth grade. My parents were very strict, so it was unheard-of to spend a hundred dollars for sneakers. Between birthday money, Christmas money, Chinese New Year money and rolling up quarters and coins, I scraped up enough money. They took me to New Jersey, because there it was tax-free. We went to some mall, and I think I bought it at the Athlete's Foot over 20 years ago. —

How do you authenticate vintage or new clothing?
I basically study the past. I watch like a lot of old MTV, like rap videos and rock videos. I also do a lot of eBay, so I know what goes for what price and what to buy and what not. There are certain tags to look for, especially with Supreme. There's a lot of fake Supreme going around. Study the tags. Study details. Stitching is everything, and the color of the shirt. Sometimes an item could be discolored color and it could be fake.
Some tips for people looking for vintage clothing?
Go everywhere. Ask your grandma, ask your grandpa, ask your mom, your dad. Bring out that old concert T-shirt. Someone's got it.

Scott Carson shares his strategy on expanding your database through LinkedIn. He shares how to make sure your profile is set up properly and how to find important connections organically.
After you've built up your connections, Scott talks about how to export your connections so that they can be added to your database.
Scott: Hey, guys, Scott Carson here with weclosenotes.com. And I'm excited to be the guest speaker today on the REI Classroom. And today's topic is how to effectively use LinkedIn to grow your database.
Scott: Now, I'm sure many of you out there have a LinkedIn profile. If you don't, go get one today. You're really not in business if you're not on LinkedIn. Now, there was a little article that came out that polled CEOs and the social media platforms so they spend the most amount of time on. And overwhelmingly, 22% of them say that they spend their time on LinkedIn and Twitter. Zero said they waste time on Fakebook, or Facebook. I'm sorry. Okay. So think about that and who you're talking to and who you surround yourselves with but LinkedIn is a very, very powerful tool that you can use to grow your database very organically and sometimes a little less organic. You need a little miracle grow on that to grow your database exponentially.
So one of the things that we do to grow our database because I had right over 8,000 connections on LinkedIn. I was just sitting at roughly about 6,000 for a while and realized I really need to spend a little more time on LinkedIn. And literally, in the last 45 days, I've gone from 6,200 connections to over 8,000. Very niche connections in my line of work. Now, what you can do once you've completed your LinkedIn profile and yes, put a good photo on there, fill out your complete profile. Don't put something from you in a glamour shots with the gold boa guys, all right. Ladies, avoid the cleavage shots. It's a professional website, okay? Maybe the booties. I'm just joking.
But anyway, what I'm trying to get at with you guys and gals out there is have a complete profile and then use the search engine in LinkedIn to connect with the people that you want to connect with, the people that you need to. Maybe you're looking for more wholesale deals so I would go and type in "Wholesale investors" or "wholesale real estate," or "Real estate investors." I believe I looked today and if you type in "Real estate investor," there's 45,000 . . . almost 46,000 people that have that in their title.
Now, what would you have done with those people? Well, you're all real estate investors. Two, you're all looking for deals. And three, you may have deals or you're going to have potentially private money. People are looking to invest. And if you're going to do something, you're in the 5% of people who are actually doing something, those people are going to want to connect with you and potentially, give you some private money to lend or to use in your deal.
So what we do is we go on there and type in "Real estate investor." It'll pull up a list of people. Then what you want to do on LinkedIn is change a little bit of their profiles to make it look a little bit more less Facebook. You want to go to the right side of your search engine where it says "First connection, second connection, or third connection." And you want to fill that second connection. The first connection is you're already connected to them. You don't need to waste your time with them because you're already connected, they're already on your database on LinkedIn and things like that. You want to hit "Second connections." Now what that will do is it will narrow your list down and then you want to go through and connect with those people.
Now, LinkedIn does limit the amount of connections you can add in a daily, weekly basis based on how many connections you currently have. So if you've got about 1,000 connections, you're really going to be able to add about 500, 400 people within a week. But the beautiful thing, you just give it time to work. This thing kind of grows itself a little bit. So literally, the other day, we were spending some time on there. It showed us literally 45,000 real estate investors. We hit second connections, it pulled up 50 pages at 20 people deep which is 1,000 people is all it would show. And literally, I hired a VA just to go through and connect with the people that I wasn't connected to.
Now, what happens? Well, if you go back a couple of days later, you'll see that your connections have increased. And secondly, if you do that same search again in second connections, you don't have a whole new batch of second connections to connect to because all the people that were seconds that are now connected to you are now first connections.
What is the beauty of growing your database this way? Well, the real magic besides just growing your list organically is the fact that you can export your connections in LinkedIn. Yes, you can export it, very simple, by going to your Settings and clicking "Download" or "Export Connections." If you've got the new facets, or the new evolution of LinkedIn, it's going to give you a download link for your whole database and everything involved with LinkedIn. So they will email a link to download.
But literally, if you export your connections and LinkedIn will give you first name, last names, emails, the company name that they work for, and their job title there. Great pieces of information that you can put into your database, add to your drip marketing campaign, reach out, connect, network with people, and go from there. Because it's all about our database. It's all about the base. It's all about the database. Trust me. I can't sing as well. I've leave it at that. I don't want your ears to bleed. But that's what it comes down to in real estate.
Well, I don't care if you're a real estate investor, a mortgage broker, a realtor, title company, a note investor, a private money guy, a hard money guy, it's all about you growing your database to make things happen. And LinkedIn, by far, is the best way to organically grow your database of connections and expand your net of marketing across the country.
So that's what I have to teach you about using LinkedIn. It's a very simple thing. You can literally do it from your smartphone while sitting there wasting time either waiting on your husband or waiting on the wife, put some bun [SP], or while you're sitting on the couch at night. So it's a very easy thing to do to add 20, 100 connections a day and really rock your real estate world. So that's all I've had for you today, guys, on the guest lesson of the REI Classroom. Scott Carson from weclosenotes.com. I look forward in seeing you all at the top.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — If you're feeling sluggish, a new coffee shop will perk you right up. Not because of the caffeine, but because the employees are the real draw there. Yakkity Yak Coffee Shack is set to open mid-March on 85th and Cliff Avenue. It's providing opportunities for people who society often overlooks.
No coffee was percolating Friday, but there was plenty of excitement brewing behind the counter at Yakkity Yak Coffee Shack. When it opens, Jack Reel will be at the register.
"Just to be able to run the coffee stations and make people pay for their coffee," Reel said.
Reel says he's looking forward to his new job.
"You get paid, for one thing," Reel said.
That's true, a paycheck is a very valuable thing to have. Lena Gronemeyer, however, is looking forward to earning respect from her co-workers.
Lena: "Telling people what to do."
Brady: "Oh, so you're going to be giving people directions then?"
Lena: "Uh huh! Yeah!"
Yakkity Yak Coffee Shack, located inside the All American Gymnastics Academy, is more than just a coffee shop, because it's hiring people of different intellectual and physical abilities.
"We had a girl here last night and this is going to be her first job in ten years. It's providing opportunities for people in the community who typically aren't able to walk into any old place and get a job," Lindsey Janklow, vice president of Yaks Give Back Foundation, said.
Yaks Give Back executive director Kathy Luke says creating this place is a passion project, because it's allowing employees to have a job and an opportunity for inclusion.
"You are just so full of joy. It just, seeing somebody have something they didn't think they'd have," Luke said.
Brady: "What are you excited about working here?"
Lena: "Friends."
Brady: "Did you say friends?"
Lena: "Yeah."
Brady: "What about friends?"
Lena: "I like to make them."
Reel and Gronemeyer say Yakkity Yak Coffee Shack is the place to be.
"The coffee will be good," Reel said.
"Please come," Gronemeyer said.
A paycheck is important, but finding your value where you work is worth more than all the riches of the world.
"It does make you feel (good) when you know you did a good job," Reel said.
You can donate to Yakkity Yak Coffee Shack on its website.

Eye on KELOLAND: Rookie Robo-cop
by Perry Groten / Jan 16, 2022
SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO) -- It's been just over two years when a new recruit joined the Sioux Falls Police Department's bomb squad. This officer is unselfishly willing to place his life on the line, to save others, when it comes to diffusing a potentially explosive emergency. Agent 605 has nerves of steel.
It's a robo-cop that seems almost human.


The Zwicker tone is an auditory aftereffect. If you listen to a noise that contains all pitches of notes except for one, then switch it off, you hear the missing tone linger, even though it was never played. This auditory illusion cannot be explained by the apparatus of the ear itself, and must arise in the brain. This paper shows how some simple models of neurons in the brain can show the Zwicker effect. Understanding how the Zwicker tone works should lead to an understanding of how tinnitus, a long-term auditory phantom, occurs.
Have you ever had a zipper with a bubble? The two sides get separated for a few teeth before joining back together. Exactly the same thing can happen in DNA molecules except that in DNA, the bubbles can open and close, a process called "breathing". Physicists have now watched DNA breathing bubbles for the first time by attaching small lightbulbs to the DNA strands and watching them move. (The lightbulbs are actually fluorophores which glow back when illuminated with UV light.) The researchers see that bubbles can move along a DNA molecule with one end closing up as the other end opens. Bubbles can also get stuck in certain places and a variety of sizes of bubbles occur in DNA molecules.
