Get those rubber bands out of your junk drawer and put them to good use!
I love finding new and interesting uses for the everyday items I have around the house. It makes me feel like my house is just brimming with possibilities! Plus, it just makes good financial sense to be able to do more with what I already have, instead of going out and buying something new to get the job done.
Use a thick rubber band to help open a jar with a stubborn lid. Just place it around the perimeter of the lid and twist! The rubber band will increase the friction between your hand and the lid, making it much easier to remove.
Apple slices are a classic lunchbox snack, and a rubber band can help you keep them fresh! Slice up your apple, then "reassemble" the fruit. Wrap a rubber band around it to keep the slices in place, and you'll be able to enjoy perfectly fresh apple slices later on.
Many people carry a book with them in their bag or purse that they can pull out when they have a few minutes to kill during the day. I usually just pull up the Kindle app on my smartphone, but plenty of people prefer physical books for their reading material.
If you keep a book with you in your bag or purse, you can use a rubber band to help you protect it! Wrap a large rubber band or two around the outside of your book before putting it in your bag. The rubber band will keep the book closed, which will help prevent the pages from getting bent or crushed while it's in your bag.
But we recently discovered that small, colored rubber bands can provide an easy solution to all the confusion. Now we each just thread a colored rubber band through the tab of our can. We each use a different color, so all it takes is a quick glance to determine whose can is whose.
If you're having trouble keeping ribbon on the spool where it belongs, grab a rubber band. Wrap the rubber band around the ribbon to secure the end, which will keep everything in place. No more unraveling ribbon or tangled messes!
Using a cutting board that has a tendency to slip and slide around is dangerous! If the board moves while you're cutting something, you could easily cut yourself. But there's a simple remedy to a slippery cutting board – rubber bands.
Grab two large rubber bands, and wrap one around either end of your cutting board. The rubber bands will add friction to the bottom of your board, so it won't slip around on you. It's an easy fix, and it could save you from an unfortunate knife accident!
Trying to remove a stripped screw can be a huge headache. Before you go to the hardware store for special screw-removing equipment, try using a rubber band first!
Place a rubber band flat over the screw head, then press your screwdriver into the screw head. Many times, the rubber band will give your screwdriver enough extra grip that you can remove the screw without resorting to more drastic measures.
When I buy hangers, I generally just get the plastic ones. They're cheap, and they generally get the job done just fine! However, there are a few types of clothes will not stay put on your average plastic hanger. But rather than splurge on fancy, non-slip hangers, you can use rubber bands to "upgrade" your plastic hangers!
Just wrap one or two small rubber band around both ends of your hanger. The rubber bands will "catch" your clothes, making it much less likely that they'll slip off. I have several hangers that I've "upgraded" using this method, and they work just as well as other non-slip hangers!
To keep a spoon or ladle from sliding down into a pot, wrap a rubber band around the end of the handle. The rubber band will provide enough grip to keep the spoon from sliding all the way down.
I always bake mine. get medium sized pumpkin, cut in half, clean out the inside. Put foil on a cookie sheet, put pumpkin cut side down bake 350° til fork pierces the skin easily. cool scrape out the "meat" ready to use or freeze. I usually run through a colander of some kind to make it smooth. so easy and better than canned.
I clean out the pumpkin after its baked, much easier then. I put a bit of water in my roasting pan place my pumpkin halves in cut side down, put the cover on and bake at 350 until fork tender. Pie pumpkins take 3/4 to 1 hour. Clean out the seeds when cool. Then I cut the pumpkin in wedges and just pull off the peel if it will come or run under the peel with your paring knife. Quick and slick.
I recently discovered your blog & enjoy it. TY. I keep a few rubber bands around my wrist so if I find things that go together, ie. Uno cards, I can connect & hold to put away. Also I keep a couple wrapped around my wallet so it doesn't "slip" out of my back pocket. They r easily accessible in drawer for closing cereals, snacks even pancake boxes. So handy.
Love these! I also use them constantly to reclose frozen foods or pancake mmix packages, etc. Keeps everything airtight!
Good stuff! I will use some of these tips.
I knew all but the spoon one. That's genius. Thank you for sharing.
What brilliant ideas. Some I already use but some are new to me. Great!

sentence clearly proves that Hawthorne is using the name Faith to represent the religious faith of Goodman Brown. Therefore, that cry not only means he lost his wife, but it also means that his beliefs were shattered. By interpreting Hawthorne's symbolic use of the word Faith to mean Goodman Brown's religious faith, one can easily find the symbolism to be synonymous with the theme of the story, which is Goodman Brown's struggle to keep Faith.


Livio is understandably proud of his incredible creation as he travels through Venice's canals.
Livio De Marchi spent five months whittling a block of pine into a Ferrari F50 – an Italian car fit for the Italian canals.
The craftsman carefully carved the famous logo, rims and brake lights into the wood and added a Yamaha boat engine to power it through the water.
The eye-catching vehicle, which weighs 2000 pounds, is a solitary motor in Venice's waterways packed with gondolas, yachts and floating taxis.
King of the waters: Livio spent five months whittling pine wood to make the Ferrari.
The eye-catching vehicle is a solitary motor in Venice's waterways packed with gondolas, yachts and floating taxis.
Livio's Ferrari is another addition to his collection, which joins a 1937 Jaguar, VW Beetle, a Mercedes and a Cinderella-style pumpkin carriage for his daughter's wedding.
The motors have since been donated to an American museum and this year Livio's prized Ferrari toured the U.S. with Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
All cars are banned in the city of water - except for Livio's Ferrari-shaped boat.
Livio came up with the idea after being bullied in a smaller boat he originally used for getting around.
He said: "I thought Venice would be like it was a hundred or two-hundred years ago when there weren't any motorboats and you could travel along in a beautiful, peaceful way.
The detailed sculpture includes the famous logo, rims and brake lights.
"But, paddling along in my little boat, I got out on the Grand Canal and all of a sudden up came the waves and the motorboats.
"I said to my little son, who was with me, we've got to go back because this Grand Canal has turned into a freeway."
After his rough experience on the waves, Livio decided to build his very own Ferrari boat - especially as he says he couldn't afford to buy a real Ferrari.
Livio's Ferrari attracts attention on Venice's canals.


The Talmud is a central text of Rabbinic Judaism. The entire Talmud consists of 63 tractates, and in standard print is over 6,200 pages long. It is written in Tannaitic Hebrew and Jewish Babylonian Aramaic and contains the teachings and opinions of thousands of rabbis on subjects, including Halakha (law), Jewish ethics, philosophy, customs, history, lore and many other topics. The Talmud is the basis for all codes of Jewish law, and is widely quoted in rabbinic literature.


41. God helps those who help themselves.
42. Gold and green woods.
43. Gold glitters in what is thrown away.
44. Hate not the man, but the weakness.
45. He that would hang his dog gives out first that he is mad.
46. He who knows only few things, has little to forget.
47. He who lives without discipline dies without honor.
48. He who puts giants to flight rapidly advances.
49. His door already has the hard part of the journey behind him.
50. Hunger, work, and sweat are the best herbs.

TikTok Star Josh Richards Hands Out UnHide Blankets to Homeless in L.A.
Josh Richards, along with fellow Sway House member Griffin Johnson, hit the local streets to hand out the blankets
By Jodi Guglielmi
Josh Richards is doing his part to give back during the holiday season.
In honor of Giving Tuesday this week, the TikTok star teamed up with Ellen DeGeneres' faux fur brand, UnHide, to help pass out blankets to the homeless population in Los Angeles.
"This season is getting a little bit colder heading into winter," Richards says in a video of him handing out blankets, adding that he wants to help "keep some people warm."
Richards, along with fellow Sway House member Griffin Johnson, hit the local streets to hand out the blankets. In the video, the two are seen laughing and chatting with the different people they met throughout the day.
"She watches us on TikTok," says Richards, 18, after talking to one woman. "She said we help her day go by, which is amazing. I'm glad we got to meet her."
UnHide will continue supporting the giving initiative throughout the holiday season by donating a portion of December proceeds to the L.A. Mission in an effort to end homelessness in Los Angeles.

And Richards didn't just help out for the day — the social media star has joined UnHide as a co-creative director and investor.
"Today, I am thrilled to take the next step towards fulfilling the promise I made to myself," he says. "I am pleased to announce that I am joining UnHide as co-creative director, as an investor, and as a partner in a company that I believe will change the world. I hope, through my actions, I can inspire a new generation, Gen Z, to take on the issue of animal efficacy and join me in my mission to create a national conversation around it."
This is one of several new ventures that Richards has started in 2020. Last month, the star became a partner of Dog for Dog, a pet company that donates one bag of dog food to an animal shelter for each bag of food purchased. And in June, he launched a new clothing line called Buddy Hard, which included a hoodie that benefitted the NAACP.
Richards has remained one of TikTok's top creators, and currently has over 23 million followers on the social media platform.

Q: NSManagedObjectContext Category I am frequently setting up fetch requests in multiple classes to retrieve 'allRecipes', or a 'lastModifiedDate' from core data (plus a few other results).
It would be convenient to use a specialized category, NSManagedObjectContext+RecipeAppConveniences, for this. I don't really need to make this generic, I will just decide on a case by case basis if I am fetching the same thing frequently enough that it would be useful in the category.
Is this a standard practice? I haven't used categories much and just wanted to check it's not an anti-pattern, and that I'm not overlooking something that will cause me pain down the line.

A: It is not going to be an anti-pattern, if you think that will make your code generic, readable you can go for it.
It was added to objective-c just for this flexibility.

A: The Apple way is to add the method to a NSManagedObject subclass that takes the NSManagedObjectContext as a param, e.g.
@interface Recipe : NSManagedObject

+ (NSArray *)allRecipesInContext:(NSManagedObjectContext *)moc;

@end

This pattern also aligns better with the new API for inserting new objects, e.g. [Recipe.alloc initWithContext:moc].

Alberto VII, el Hermoso, duque de Mecklemburgo en Güstrow (25 de julio de 1486 - 5 de enero de 1547), fue un gobernante menor en el norte de Alemania en el siglo XVI. También afirmó pretensiones a tronos escandinavos basados en el linaje real de la Casa de Mecklemburgo.

En el curso del llamado feudo de los condes, la ciudad libre de Lübeck implicó al duque Alberto en su alianza con varias partes y le ofreció la corona danesa. El rey Cristián III de Dinamarca, sin embargo, logró mantener su reino: Cristóbal de Oldemburgo y el duque Alberto fueron asediados en Copenhague en 1535-1536 hasta que capitularon.

Adolf Bernhard Meyer (Hamburg, 11 oktober 1840 - Berlijn, 5 februari 1911) was een Duitse natuuronderzoeker en antropoloog. Op zoölogisch gebied was hij voornamelijk werkzaam als entomoloog, ornitholoog en primatoloog. Hiervoor ondernam hij in het begin van de jaren 1870 uitgebreide reizen doorheen de Indische Archipel, de Filipijnen en Nieuw-Guinea. Hij was van 1874 tot aan zijn pensioen in 1906 directeur van het Königliches Zoologisches und Anthropologisch-Ethnographisches Museum in Dresden, de voorloper van het huidige Museum für Tierkunde.

Werk
Meyer beschreef 53 vogelsoorten waaronder  zuidereilandtakahe (Porphyrio hochstetteri), Madarasz' tijgerparkiet (Psittacella madaraszi), Carola's parotia (Parotia carolae) en de wimpeldrager (Pteridophora alberti), daarnaast nog een aantal vogelsoorten samen met andere auteurs zoals Stephanie-astrapia (Astrapia stephaniae), samen met Otto Finsch.

Hij beschreef ook zoogdieren, vooral soorten primaten zoals het sangihespookdier (Tarsius sangirensis), de Wolfs meerkat (Cercopithecus wolfi) en de tonkeanmakaak (Macaca tonkeana). Verder beschreef hij ook de Schadenbergschorsrat (Crateromys schadenbergi).

Op zijn studiereizen in Zuidoost-Azië bestudeerde hij de inheemse volkeren en verzamelde vogels, kevers en vlinders; zijn collectie bevindt zich in het Museum für Tierkunde in Dresden.

Eerbetoon
Er zijn diersoorten naar hem vernoemd, waaronder de bruine sikkelsnavel (Epimachus meyeri een paradijsvogel) en de honingeter Philemon meyeri (dwerglederkop). Ook de rattensoort Lenomys meyeri, die enkel op Sulawesi wordt aangetroffen, is naar hem vernoemd.

When the war for talent is on, its is hard to attract right employees. Recruiters have to work day in and day out to scan through resumes, conduct multiple interviews and assessments to find right candidates. Organizations invest time and money in Recruitment Journey. Evenwith a great employer experience, a candidate joining the organization is sheer luck - as most of active job seekers have multiple offers in hand.

However diligent recruitment process is, it is impossible to eliminate skills competence difference in hired resources and the desired level of skills and competence.
The onus is on the organization to bridge this gap through training. Several organizations struggle with the lack of trainers, training resources and training effectiveness.
New hires come from various walks of life, they have cultural difference, they learning abilities are different, their inquisitive levels and IQ levels are different. Each learner need his own time space to learn.
In absence of an efficient training intervention, the efficiency of the new hires is average to low when they hit the production floor. Sometimes a cultural alignment is missing that hampers the productivity.

A good onboarding strategy can help organizations to reduce the time to proficiency of new hires. It can enable them to adapt the new culture, fill the skills and competence gap andmake them productive.

Here are some thought on right approach to Onboarding success.
Each organization is different. One cannot copy from popular case studies and apply it to their organization. While it is good to consider the best practices, organizations must create their unique secret sauce of success.
One single pattern or mode can be boring and sometimes ineffective. It may not address the needs of all type of learners. Use various modes of training, and modalities of content can make the onboarding exciting.
The time of starting the onboarding also impacts how quick your new hires are productive. The sooner the better.
Many organizations make onboarding a 1-2 day event. It is better to spread this event into a learning networking process for new hires.
Create programs to aware your new hires with your organization's culture.
Develop trainings for your products, services, processes and relevant technical skills.

CAPSULE: GIRL ASLEEP (2015)
December 20, 2016 Gregory J. Smalley (366weirdmovies) 1 Comment
DIRECTED BY: Rosemary Myers
FEATURING: Bethany Whitmore, Harrison Feldman, Matthew Whittet, Amber McMahon, Imogen Archer, Eamon Farren, Maiah Stewardson
PLOT: A socially awkward girl falls asleep at her disastrous and unwanted 15th birthday party and enters a fantasy world.
WHY IT WON'T MAKE THE LIST: Content to dawdle pleasantly through a merely quirky opening, Girl Asleep doesn't make a mad dash for the weird until its midpoint. It's an eccentric and worthy entry in the feminine coming-of-age subgenre, but not strange enough for the List.
COMMENTS: Girl Asleep is like what might result if you put Labyrinth, Napoleon Dynamite, and a random Wes Anderson movie in a blender. Other critics have been quick to pick up on the last two influences, but not so much on the first one, which is crucial to us. Girl takes a radical turn at the midpoint, when Greta enters a blatantly allegorical dream world, which takes it in a direction Anderson probably would never have gone. (Jared Hess might have, but he would not have kept it so sweet).
But let's back up a bit. Girl starts off simply enough, with soon-to-be 15-year old Greta at a new school on the first day. (The fact that "new school: first day" is written on a basketball being thrown up in the air is our tip-off that this film will have a spry and offbeat sense of humor—look out for objects with informational titles spread throughout the film). Cue Elliot, the movie's indefatigably upbeat nerd, who's the first to strike up a friendship with the newcomer. Second to approach her are Jade, Sapphire and Amber, the school's bitchy-cool girls, who "take a shine" to her like a team of Australian Heathers. Dad wears short-shorts and Mom wears denim pantsuits—this is the Seventies, after all, as the home's gold-and-avocado color scheme informs us. Older sis is aloof, but her smooth-talking boyfriend's plunging neckline and aquamarine party van stir instincts inside of Greta. After a string of ordinary teenage humiliations, things get really embarrassing when Mom plans a fifteenth birthday bash for the wallflower so she can meet the neighbors in the most awkward way possible. A magical realist album cover from chain-smoking heart-throb Benoit Tremet and spontaneous disco numbers keep a weirder-than-average vibe going through the first forty minutes.
Fleeing to her bedroom mid-party, an electric shock from a music box sends Greta into a dark Gothic woods to retrieve her symbolic innocence from a bird puppet and a mucousy swamp thing with a porn stache. It never gets uncomfortably weird, but she sees lots of strange sights in the woods, derangements that persist when she returns to her party. The easy-to-grasp analogies between Greta's real life and her dream world, strengthened by the fact that the same actors portray characters in the fantasy, will remind experienced travelers of familiar psychic terrains (from Mirrormask and the aforementioned Labyrinth). The simplified sub-Freudian symbolism is appropriate for the target age group, just frightening enough to hint at the challenges of adulthood without tossing Greta into the frightening orgies of Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. The plot's zigs and offbeat jokes keep us on our toes and, despite the mild absurdism, the kids are as likable, flawed and realistic as any John Hughes cast. Overall, it's a fun movie that will serve as a fine escalation of the possibilities of fantastic cinema for adolescents, while the quirky setting amuses adults.
Matthew Whittet, who also plays the dad, adapted Girl Asleep from his own play. Rosemary Myers directs. Although Whittet has an established career as an actor (appearing in Moulin Rogue! and The Great Gatsby), this is his first published screenplay. Girl is the first credit of any kind for Myers. Both have promising futures, as do Bethany Whitmore and Harrison Feldman, the film's two young leads.
"…plays like the love child of Jane Campion and Guy Maddin, an otherworldly quinceañera that celebrates female rites of passage and the hallucinatory power of film."–Serena Donadoni, The Village Voice (contemporaneous)

American Women: Emancipations And Challenges
Women all over the world have become the subject of debate. In many parts of the world women are victims of male dominance, sexual oppression, educational deprivation and social inequality, all of which are generated from social rigidity against women. Women in United States enjoy much more freedom and independence than many in the world. They freely live their life with a sense of self -worth, respect and dignity. They have full rights to decide about their education, career and also about marriage. More and more women have taken on new responsibilities outside the home by joining the paid workforce. They have complete control of their life, both within and outside of their home and workplace. They are free to make their own choices and decisions. Women are also stepping up to lead the country.
But this scenario was not the same. For many years, American women have struggled and fought for their rights. In the last decade of nineteenth century, the most remarkable sociological change in the American history began. The large number of American women had entered into work force. Initially this dramatic change in the history was accompanied by great deal controversies. Slowly, attitudes toward working women began to change. The employment opportunities for women enlarged and women slowly started to gain their rights as full citizen, finally in 1920 they received the right to vote. As time progressed the attitudes of women in the work force also changed.
Women are important part of today's American economy. They are now a part of every kind of profession i.e. administration, teaching, law. accounts, managers, writers, business leaders, politics, and so much more. Much of what has been accomplished in communities is because of active participation of women.
It is true that progress in terms of gender equality is uneven in America. There remain challenges on economic security, leadership, and health issues that make it harder for American women to have a fair shot at success. But still American women have made magnificent progress, they are better off today. The ratio of women at highest positions in America have increased tremendously in the last decade. These changes have led to an increased sense of self-esteem among the women, who now have greater confidence to speak and participate in the affairs of the cooperatives. Equality between men and women has not been an easy road to travel. It has not ended yet. Each little stride that is taken is one step closer to a better world for women - of today and of the future.

Recent Mahtomedi graduate Hannah Shands started playing lacrosse in fourth grade and "instantly fell in love with it," she said. Then she promptly told her dad: "I am ready to sacrifice my body for this sport."
A few years and many games later, Shands will head to South Carolina in a couple of weeks on a partial scholarship to play lacrosse at Winthrop University.
But lacrosse isn't the only sport that's had her heart.
"I've been playing tennis for as long as I can remember," Shands said. "I've never wanted to quit."
The reality is that lacrosse will be her sports focus in college, and Shands won't have time to hit the tennis court.
"I wish I could," she said.

Hannah Shands, whose Mahtomedi varsity lacrosse career started as an eighth-grader, received a partial scholarship to play at Winthrop University this fall.
Though she loves both tennis and lacrosse, playing Division I lacrosse was her goal since she was an eighth-grader. That competitive level was a key factor in making a decision. If she wanted to compete at a lower level, she could continue in both sports, she said.
"Lacrosse was the sport that I wanted to give my all in," she said. "It kind of came down to it that I had to pick one, and lacrosse was the winner."
Shands played varsity tennis and lacrosse at Mahtomedi in eighth through 12th grade. Shands and doubles partner Emily Cooper won the Class 2A tennis consolation title last fall, "which is really cool because we wanted to get a title," she said.
In the Class 2A team quarterfinals, it came down to Shands and Alex Kent against a Rochester Mayo doubles team. They made a three-set comeback (1-6, 6-3, 6-4) to help the Zephyrs to a 4-3 victory.
"It was nerve-wracking because it was all up to you," Shands said.
Mahtomedi's team took home third place, the best result in three state appearances when Shands was on the team.
She also was a lacrosse defender for Mahtomedi and the Minnesota Elite Club teams. While nothing in particular binds tennis and lacrosse together, there's one thing that's important to both.
"You need footwork," Shands said.
Madison Fernandez played tennis and lacrosse with Shands. The two were co-captains for the tennis team the past two years. Fernandez approached Shands often for help with her lacrosse game. Shands was a good leader who was always trying to help teammates improve, Fernandez said.
"With lacrosse, I'd always look up to her because she knew what she was doing," Fernandez said.
In her senior year, Shands won the Athena Award, something she had no idea she was up for, she said.
"I was speechless," Shands said. "It was an award that I secretly wanted so bad. … But there were so many great athletes."
As she looked at colleges, Shands said she knew she wanted to attend a school on the East Coast, where lacrosse is a big sport. She knows the style of play might be a little different, but she isn't worried about a transition.
"They're way more aggressive," Shands said. "It's super physical. I've seen a girl's shaft broken in half."
Fernandez knows her friend will succeed behind her excellent skills. Shands "really likes to push herself to be really competitive and a really good player," Fernandez said.
Her experience with the club team has helped her prepare, Shands said. Plus she's trained this summer with a workout packet from Winthrop. Lacrosse season is in the spring, but with essentially a year-round commitment, she knows tennis would be too much on her plate.
Just maybe, there could be room for both at some point, even if tennis becomes a recreational hobby for her.
"I don't want to cut tennis completely out of my life," she said.

High school student Haae-Won Song has just placed third in Cake Magazine's manwha creator talent search. She's the youngest winner in the history of the contest! Not only does she have her story published but she also gets the chance to work with one of her manwha idols (who has a surprise for her). And as if that wasn't reward enough, she's also reunited with the former teacher who inspired her winning story. What happens when personalities clash and hearts collide like something out of a comic book? Does art imitate life, or is it the other way around?


In my last missive I forgot to mention a couple equipment issues we've uncovered. The first being the lighting on the motorcycle. When I bought the bike 10 years ago it seemed to me, at that time, the bike had a lot of light projecting out the front end. During the last ten years it seems the amount of light has diminished considerably. Either that or my night vision has been killed living in a constant state of lightedness the last eight years. Regardless, after a dusk-to-night-time trip across the Broadus Highway I decided it was time to do something about this problem. Not having much time or resources at my disposal I found myself at Wal-Mart. I got a set of "driving lights" that uses H-3 bulbs. I figured an additional 110 watts (total) streaming out the front would do a bit of good. To ensure I got every last amp of current available to the lights I also picked up a relay kit so I could run the lights from the battery through a heavy-duty relay rather than directly trough a switch. Sadly, the lights don't make much of a difference at all. I think these things were meant more for "bling" than for actual lighting applications. No, they are not "HID Simulators" . Rather, they have a bit of an orange tint to them "To provide additional detail", said the package. I'm going to continue to keep an eye out for a GOOD set of lights. At least I've already got the relay system (and its 573 feet of wiring) installed so replacing the light assemblies shouldn't be too difficult. I didn't notice until after I had the relay system installed that the switch supplied with it is not waterproof. I tried capping it with a bit of RTV but all that did was make the switching action so stiff the push button switch wouldn't return to its normal position so I ended up peeling most of the RTV off the switch.
Our visit in St. Onge, SD went well. Tamara got to spend a lot of time with her momma and I got to do an honest day's work for the first time in a long time. I helped her step-father build a new deck on their house.
Not bad for a couple retired Squids, eh? It was actually kind of fun and I used some skills that I haven't used for more than twenty years. We all went out to dinner in Spearfish at a diner called Sanford's that was pretty good. It's styled on the idea that you are in an old rebuilt garage. The tables are all stainless steel and the menu is about 6 pages long.
Tuesday morning came and it was time for us to move on down the road. I remember the last time we rode through South Dakota in 1996. We went from Norfolk, VA to Sturgis, SD and back in ten days. Five of those were spent at a campground in Spearfish. I remember the trip across South Dakota from Sioux Falls on was not very pleasant because of the cross wind blowing from the north. This time it was much more than "unpleasant". Either the wind was blowing a lot harder this time (340°-350° at 20-30 mph according to the XM Weather shown on the Garmin 376c) or I've grown a bit soft in the last ten years. I really think the wind was blowing harder this time. We spent the entire day leaned over at a 35° angle to the left trying to keep from getting blown off the road. We only did 464 miles this day but it was about the roughest 464 miles I've seen in a long time. One bright side of the whole thing is that the tyres ought to last 460 miles longer than we planned because the center of the tyres hardly ever touched the road the whole day.
We're gonna spend the next day or so in the Greater Sioux Area then it's on to points east from there.

Sixth Officer James Moody
Height: 5'11" (185.42cm)
Complexion: Fair
Hair Colour: Light brown
Other: None
Notes: Moody is listed as 5 ft 11 (1907-1911), fair complexion, light brown hair and blue eyes. Unlike the other officers, there are no variations in height or other details in his applications, all are exactly the same.
Biographical Information:
From a middle class background, there was nothing to suggest a career at sea for James Moody except that his hometown of Scarborough was on England's North Sea coast. A studious and well respected man, he was a budding fiction author. He failed once on his First Mate application, and then failed twice when applying for his Masters certificate. The 24-year-old became Titanic's Sixth Officer and famously replied with a polite "thank you" to the lookout's call of an iceberg ahead. He had earlier calculated they would reach the reported ice by 11pm, a calculation that Second Officer Lightoller had at the time discounted.
He worked hard evacuating several port and starboard lifeboats and gave up his command of lifeboat 16 to another and was last seeing helping with the launch of collapsible A. His body was never recovered - but if it had been the White Star Line would have callously charged the family to return it to England. There were rumours over his death and memorials were held; even the creator of Sherlock Holmes paid tribute to the youngest officer -and only junior officer - to be lost.

ABSTRACT: African American (AA) women are more likely than white women to be obese and to be diagnosed with ER- and triple-negative (TN) breast cancer, but few studies have evaluated the impact of obesity and body fat distribution on breast cancer subtypes in AA women. We evaluated these associations in the AMBER Consortium by pooling data from four large studies. Cases were categorized according to hormone receptor status as ER+, ER-, and TN (ER-, PR-, and HER2-) based on pathology data. A total of 2104 ER+ cases, 1070 ER- cases (including 491 TN cases), and 12,060 controls were included. Odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were computed using logistic regression, taking into account breast cancer risk factors. In postmenopausal women, higher recent (most proximal value to diagnosis/index date) BMI was associated with increased risk of ER+ cancer (OR 1.31; 95 % CI 1.02-1.67 for BMI ≥35 vs. <25 kg/m(2)) and with decreased risk of TN tumors (OR 0.60; 95 % CI 0.39-0.93 for BMI ≥35 vs. <25). High young adult BMI was associated with decreased premenopausal ER+ cancer and all subtypes of postmenopausal cancer, and high recent waist-to-hip ratio with increased risk of premenopausal ER+ tumors (OR 1.35; 95 % CI 1.01-1.80) and all tumor subtypes combined in postmenopausal women (OR 1.26; 95 % CI 1.02-1.56). The impact of general and central obesity varies by menopausal status and hormone receptor subtype in AA women. Our findings imply different mechanisms for associations of adiposity with TN and ER+ breast cancer.


The next-Sunday Manchester benefit concert, planned after the deadly attack executed by a 23-year-old English kamikaze during a show of Ariana Grande two weeks ago, is a huge response to the terrorism. It could be considered an example of restorative justice.
Such as the slogan "Je Suis Charlie" has been after the Paris attacks: "It's true that this demonstration did not involve any encounter between victim and offenders, and yet it's impetus goes at the core of restorative justice" said Theo Gavrielides, about that phrase. Gavrielides is founder and co-director of "Restorative Justice for all institute".
In fact, restorative justice is a different way of conceiving the relation between victim and criminal. According to this point of view, society has not only to punish the crime, but also take care of the victims. It plays an active role thinking of a new relation with the crime and with the criminal.
The Manchester concert could be considered an example of this because the tragedy affected also the Public Sphere (that have to be restored) beyond the individuals directly involved.
Unlikely other crimes, sure enough, with terrorist attacks also the public is "itself the - albeit secondary and/or additional - target" stated the professor of Tilburg Law School, Antony Pemberton.
Indeed, the attack is directed at victims as representatives of the collective. So, the individuals are identified also as public victims. For this reason public reaction could be different from a private reaction.
After the London Underground bombing of July 7th, 2005, "The Sun" published a picture of John Tullock, an injured person, with a blood-stained face: the headline was "Tell Tony He's Right", referring to then British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his decision on terrorists' treatment.
In reality, Tulloch had already spoken out against Blair before the terroristic assault and remained to do so also after Blair's extension of the period of detention without charge of terrorist suspects to 90 days.
In the case of Manchester, we can see the same gap between public and private sphere of the individuals. The former "The Smiths" frontman Steven Patrick Morrissey wrote last Tuesday a post on Facebook criticising the PM Theresa May.
She "says such attacks 'will not break us'", - wrote the singer - "but her own life is lived in a bullet-proof bubble, and she evidently does not need to identify any young people today in Manchester morgues".
The question is still if individuals are considered single citizens or representatives for the collectivity. Private hurts are considered difficult to forget instead of public hurts that needed to be recovered rapidly.
So the new Manchester concert is a way to centre the victims - as restorative justice claims, but only the public-side of them. For the private-side, a difficult and inclusive path of restorative practices should be pursued.

Home Sports Dilshan calls for mandatory Hot Spot
Dilshan calls for mandatory Hot Spot
T.M Dilshan remains convinced he did not edge the delivery to which he was given out on the fourth day against England at the P Sara Oval and has called for Hot Spot to be made mandatory in all Test and one-day cricket.
Dilshan was adjudged caught at slip off Graeme Swann by Bruce Oxenford and immediately signalled for a review. The third umpire, Rod Tucker, took an age looking at the images but without the infra-red cameras he ruled there was no conclusive evidence to advise the on-field umpire he had made an error.
"I feel 100% that I didn't edge the ball that's why I went straight for the review," he said. "I can't control the decisions. You have to respect it. But I can suggest one thing. The DRS that applies to Test or one-day cricket should have Hot Spot then there will be more correct decisions. Unfortunately Hot Spot is not there and a few decisions were very difficult for the umpire without it."
When Oxenford confirmed his decision Dilshan stood, dumbstruck, at the crease for a moment before slowing trudging to the pavilion where he threw his helmet to the ground. Graham Ford, the Sri Lanka coach, also visited the match referee to demand answers about the incident.
Earlier on Friday Dilshan had been fined 10% of his match fee for excessive appealing during the third day and his frustrations at his dismissal could prompt another word from the match referee. "I was just a bit disappointed and my helmet when a bit further than I meant," he said. "I was wanted a big score and that's why I was disappointed."
It is the second time in the match that the lack of Hot Spot has been highlighted. On the first day England thought they had Thilan Samaraweera caught at short leg and asked for review but it remained a not out decision. Following that Steven Finn, who was the bowler involved, said he would like to see Hot Spot available all the time.
However, due to the cost of the cameras, which is carried by the host board and host broadcaster, that remains out of reach for the likes of Sri Lanka, who are struggling financially. The full DRS, including Hot Spot, was only available for the Pakistan-England series in the UAE because the PCB found a sponsor to offset the cost.
Sri Lanka's mood stemming from perceived injustice at Dilshan's decision will not have been improved by the two late blows from Swann that left them 33 runs ahead with four wickets left and struggling to hold onto their 1-0 series lead. However, Dilshan was confident they could still save – or even win – the match, especially after England's failed attempt to chase 145 against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi.
"We believe if we can bat the first session tomorrow we can win the Test," he said. "It's not an easy wicket and won't be easy to chase 130-140. They couldn't chase 140, this is a five day wicket and Rangana Herath is in good form." (Courtesy ESPN Cricinfo)

Young People Still Hooked On Facebook Says New Study
By Emma Mackenzie
Despite some reports suggesting young people have moved away from social media giant Facebook, Steve Lockwood, Facebook Australia's head of marketing science, has stressed youth are still using the platform.
The claim from Lockwood came from a study for Facebook conducted by research company Nielsen called 'Aussies on Facebook', which looked into the behaviour of Aussies on the platform and the different characteristics and demographics.
"For example," said Lockwood, speaking at the Facebook event unveiling the research yesterday, "you've all heard the stories that young people don't use Facebook anymore." However the Nielsen data suggests otherwise.
He explained: "The Nielsen research data says 92% of students under 25 are using the platform every single day. And 83% of all 16-24 year olds are on Facebook every day as well."
"It's a really broad range of audiences," he told the audience. "Different ages, different demographics and everyone is using the platform in their own unique way. Everyone has their own personal relationship with Facebook."
Facebook wanted to really dive into the behaviour of its users, and ended up discovering four main trends.
1. Mobile is the first screen
There's no denying that the move to mobile has happened. And Facebook has noticed too with users checking the platform for news, updates and sharing things around 14 times a day.
Of the ten million people that use Facebook regularly, nine million of those are doing so on a mobile device.
The Facebook study showed there are more peak hours of mobile usage throughout the day, such as a bump up in the afternoon and later evening. "We do tend to find it gets busier throughout the day," explained Mia Garlick, head of policy at Facebook. "People get up in the morning, they do want to check news and see what's happened in the world, then they're off doing their day, and then towards the end of the day they're looking for those breaks to see what else is happening."
2. Video is exploding
People are watching a heap of video now. And Facebook had managed to improve its video offering just before the Ice Bucket Challenge hit, said Garlick. "The two came together to have a massive impact on the platform."
"Now you might be thinking, the whole idea of the mobile video trend, how is that going to work as people don't watch video on their phone," Garlick posed to the audience. "But we're actually seeing that people are watching a lot of videos on their phone."
There's around three billion views of videos on Facebook everyday, according to the research, and 65% of them come from a mobile device.
3. Facebook and TV
"It's probably no surprise to anyone in the room that the idea of dual-screening has been around for a long time," said Garlick. And the research by Nielsen found 70% of Facebook users aged 25-44 have a form of dual-screening happening some, most or all of the time.
"It's the younger demographics again that are doing that the most," explained Garlick. Mums too are big multitaskers when it comes to using a heap of screens at once, found the research.
4. Personal and Relevant
Your Facebook newsfeed is basically your own personsalised newspaper, said Garlick. The algorithm figures out what you like and click on most to bring content that you will enjoy.
"This was reinforced when The New York Times innovation report was somehow made public, and they found that only one third of their readership was actually coming to the front page to find articles," she said. "Two-thirds of readers were finding articles by social media, email referral, messenger referral and things like that."

Ending workplace discrimination against LGBT people should be the next fight in the LGBT rights movement
Thanks to a 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court decision issued earlier today, same-sex couples across the entire United States of America can now enjoy the same legal right to marry that heterosexual couples have long enjoyed. To put it mildly, this is a huge victory for love and equality in America.
However, in 32 states, some, if not all, LGBT workers, can legally be fired simply because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity:
In 21 states (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming), all workers can be fired on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
In 3 states (Arizona, Missouri, and Montana), state employees cannot be fired on the basis of sexual orientation, but state employees can be fired on the basis of gender identity, and private-sector workers can be fired on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
In 5 states (Idaho, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio), state employees cannot be fired on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity, but private-sector workers can be fired on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
In 2 states (New Hampshire and Wisconsin), all workers cannot be fired on the basis of sexual orientation, but all workers can be fired on the basis of gender identity.
In 1 state (New York), state employees cannot be fired on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity, and private-sector workers cannot be fired on the basis of sexual orientation, but private-sector workers can be fired on the basis of gender identity.
If the source I linked to above has inaccurate and/or outdated information, please leave a comment on this blog post with accurate information for a particular state.
While it is a huge victory for the LGBT movement to secure marriage equality in all 50 states, the fight for full equality for gays, lesbians, bisexual people, and transgender people is far from over. The next big fight in the LGBT rights movement should be to push for laws prohibiting public and private employers from firing people based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

South Dakota Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Rick Weiland blasts Republican challenger for selling EB-5 cards to the highest bidder
Rick Weiland, the Democratic candidate in the U.S. Senate race in South Dakota, is running this ad blasting Republican candidate Mike Rounds, a former governor of South Dakota, for a scandal in which the Rounds administration in South Dakota sold EB-5 visas, which are given to foreigners who invest money in the United States, to the highest bidder:
Unlike Mike Rounds, Rick Weiland believes that government shouldn't be for sale to the highest bidder. That's why Weiland is visiting every town in South Dakota at least twice, meeting with South Dakotans, and listening to their concerns. Weiland will fight to end the culture of corruption in this country's political system by getting big money out of politics.
While Harry Reid and the rest of the Democratic establishment doesn't understand Weiland's populist appeal to South Dakotans, I believe that he can win on November 4. If he wins, he'll be a wonderful representative of the people of South Dakota.
