Despite community pleas, CPS puts Dyett HS out for proposals

Chicago Public Schools went ahead Friday with a request for proposals to reopen a school in Dyett High School in 2016 despite many impassioned pleas — including from a civil rights icon at Wednesday's board meeting — to install an existing community-developed school program this fall.
The district asked for an "innovative program which engages its students and also meets the needs of the local community" in its request released Friday. The Board voted in 2012 to phase out the school currently home to just 13 seniors set to graduate in June, but CPS reconsidered this fall, spurred by protests, to consider reopening the school.
CPS is not looking for a charter operator to take over the building but is open to private contract operators as well as district-operated schools for September 2016. All must apply by April 6, which would make a September opening unlikely. The district said it will evaluate proposals on educational plans, community involvement, leadership and operational capacity, finances and facilities plan, and plans to put the winner before the Board for approval on August 26 following a June community meeting and August public hearing.
CPS spokesman Bill McCaffrey said the request isn't legally required; rather it's been issued "to ensure that any and all interested parties have an opportunity to submit a proposal. Conducting this process is the most fair and comprehensive method to evaluate all options for the school."
The Coalition to Revitalize Dyett High School developed a neighborhood high school plan over two years with input from the Chciago Teachers Union, the Chicago Botanic Gardens, Teachers for Social Justice and many others. Their vision teaches high schoolers about global leadership and green technology; the group has been begging CPS to let them reopen the school in September 2015.
Civil rights icon and veteran educator Timuel Black, 96, told the board at Wednesday's meeting that he knew Captain Walter Henri Dyett, the musician and music director at South Side high schools for whom the school is named.
"He was a great man, an inspiration not just in terms of his music but in terms of the educational demands that he put on his students," Black said. "And therefore symbolically, that building, and that name and those people who have a desire to give it the fame and acclaim that it once enjoyed have not been included in the new ideas about what should Dyett be."
Black cited his teaching at DuSable, Farragut and Hyde Park high schools and City College administration, "so I know a little bit about it, and I take the position that unless the community around school is involved… that school has more chances of difficulty, whether it's a charter school or whatever it may be," Black said.
"I come here in support of those who are for the re-evaluation and rehabilitation of Dyett and its history and all the things that it stands for."
Black was joined by South Side parents looking for a solid neighborhood option for their children, some of who, they said, had special needs that would rule out a competitive selective enrollment high school, and by a representative from the Chicago Botanic Gardens.
Coalition member and Hyde Park mother Joy Clendenning was among them. On Friday, she said she was concerned about leaving the Dyett building vacant for a year, especially since the coalition has had its plan in place for several years.
That timing "has been a problem for us," she said. "We have been at board meetings, we have been meeting with people, we presented the plan to the board last spring. There has been plenty of time to do a really good planning process."
Meanwhile, area eighth graders are stuck without a good neighborhood option, she said.
"On Wednesday, I summed it up: I've been so in awe of how the community has come together during the last 2 or 4 years… and I just don't understand why a school system would need an RFP process to work with the community on the school they want."

- PISSED
Medium: Sculpture, Performance, Sound
PISSED is a minimalist glass cube containing 200 gallons of urine.
This tank of glowing urine manifests what may seem abstract in discussion: the physical burden placed on an individual body when bathroom access is restricted by discriminatory policy. PISSED is a collection of all the liquid excreted by the artist in the 200 days following the Trump administration's 2017 rollback of an Obama-era executive order allowing transgender students to use the bathroom matching their chosen gender identities.
VICE NEWS, OCT. 18, 2017
"It seems insane that I have to make a cube of piss for people to get this idea. I shouldn't have to make this. I shouldn't have to hold my own urine. It's crazy that we have to go to these extremes but this is the culture that we're living in."
– Cassils
Fountain marked the final two hours of a 4,800 hour performance.
At the close of 200 days of collecting every drop of their urine, Cassils invited the audience to witness the final acts that would complete the durational sculpture PISSED. Standing on a platform above the audience in front of a grid of 255 orange medical bottles marked with the date of urine capture, the artist shared the deeply human acts of standing, drinking, and urinating.
PISSED's audio track features the oral arguments from the case of Gavin Grimm, the transgender male teen who became the face of transgender rights in his fight to use the boys bathroom in a school in Virginia.
In the fall of 2017, Grimm's case was accepted, and shortly thereafter rejected, by the Supreme Court— thus staying a decision by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals which prevents Gavin from using the boys bathroom to this day 4 Over the two hours of the audio composition, the audience hears the ignorance or bible-quoting adults juxtaposed with the crisp, simple clarity of Gavin's plea to pee against a sonic landscape of water flowing and flushing.
This tank of glowing urine manifests what may seem abstract in discussion: the physical burden placed on an individual body when bathroom access is restricted by discriminatory policy.
"Cassils' work may speak in violence, confinement, and condemnation, but ultimately, their art is about transforming those experiences into something useful—like turning urine into sculpture. They believe that "as much as we need rituals for anger, we need rituals for healing, and rituals for witnessing each other's pain."

Some smartphone-optimized websites are misconfigured in that they don't show searchers the information they were seeking. For example, smartphone users are shown an error page or get redirected to an irrelevant page, but desktop users are shown the content they wanted. Some of these problems, detected by Googlebot as crawl errors, significantly hurt your website's user experience and are the basis of some of our recently-announced ranking changes for smartphone search results.
Starting today, you can use the expanded Crawl Errors feature in Webmaster Tools to help identify pages on your sites that show these types of problems. We're introducing a new Smartphone errors tab where we share pages we've identified with errors only found with Googlebot for smartphones.
Not found errors and soft 404s: A page can show a "not found" message to Googlebot, either by returning an HTTP 404 status code or when the page is detected as a soft error page.
Blocked URLs: A blocked URL is when the site's robots.txt explicitly disallows crawling by Googlebot for smartphones. Typically, such smartphone-specific robots.txt disallow directives are erroneous. You should investigate your server configuration if you see blocked URLs reported in Webmaster Tools.

Photo Release Forms
53 FREE Photo Release Form Templates [Word, PDF]
Anywhere we turn today; people are clicking and snapping pictures profusely. In fact, the world of today is heavily dominated by social media, which itself is being run by pictures and photos. Overnight success and overnight failure is just a click away and then it spreads like wildfire from one corner of the world to another.

And maybe it is because of this liberated handling of photos that a large number of people have forgotten about the U.S copyright laws. Yes, pictures and photos are property and ownership of people and can only change hands through proper and legal processes. This process may sound daunting but is in fact, just a matter of one document, the Photo Copyright Release Form. While amateur photographers can take all the pictures they want and leave it for everyone to use and share, the professional photographers, firms and businesses have to take the more legal and official route.
For the newbie who is just venturing into the business or those who have already spent some time in the field without the usage of the Photo Release Form Template, this article is a step by step guide to securing the permission with the help of a Simple Photo Release Form.
Photo Release Form Templates
What is a photo release form?
Beginning from the very start, a Photo Copyright Release Form is a written permission on paper to secure rights of publishing images of children, people and even properties. For various individuals and businesses, the need for such permission comes out of nowhere or the need is so frequent that keeping a template of a Generic Photo Release Form or a Simple Photo Release Form becomes a requisite.
A Photo Copyright Release Form serves as a proof that the permission has been granted to you or your business to use the photo and the picture property that belongs to another. It is for the better safe than sorry days where the owner might change their mind down the road or might even file for an infringement case. The last thing you want is to be paying millions to someone who changed his mind after giving you a verbal permission. For better or worse, it is always smart to be prepared for a falling out which is why a Photo Copyright Release Form is a necessity.
What Are The Parties Involved?
The Photo Copyright Release Form is an agreement in written form between the two parties. The first party is the photographer and the other one is the person who is being photographed. In case of a child, the other party will inevitably be the guardian or the parents of the child. In case what is being photographed is an object or a property, then the other party will be the owner of the said property. The form declares and both parties can ensure it by first reviewing the Photo Release Form Template that the right of publishing and sharing the pictures has been granted by the photographed person.
While this often seems like a small endeavor and hardly even takes time. It saves both parties in the future from messy legalities that end up with one person in deep waters and at times, even at the brink of losing their business or their career.
Photo Release Form Samples
Why Keep a Photo Release Form Template anyway?
A Photo Release Form Template is an already prepared and readied form available for photographers to just printout and use within seconds. It even comes in use when there is a need to show it to the parties prior to taking pictures so that nothing remain amiss from the dealings, leading to accusations of fraud and misguidance later on. The form provides open permission to publish or use the image in any way required and the photographed person provides full consent to it.
When is the right time to bring the photo release form to use?
So you are a photographer and new in business and wondering what should be the right time to bring the form to use? Well, before you have to decide that, make sure that a Photo Copyright Release Form is already available with you.
The right time to bring up the form for signage and agreement is before snapping someone's picture. If you are planning to use the picture for your own personal reasons or you are a wedding photographer and have been asked to publish the photographs by the client themselves, the release form must be signed at all costs.
If you are just an amateur photographer and need a picture for personal use, bring up the form and get it signed. If you are a professional photographer then bring the form for agreement at all times, regardless of the purpose or the reason behind taking the photograph in the first place.
Take precautions from falling into the traps of verbal consents, even if the other party is someone you know closely. This is always the smart course of action and makes things super easy to handle in the future, despite your professional or non-professional status.
Simple Photo Release Form
Why the need for paperwork in the first place?
If you are under the impression that this is just a reliable practice created by a group of photographers to protect themselves, then you are wrong. It is law declared by the state government itself. Filling and signing the Photo Copyright Release Form brings the photographers under the protection of the U.S copyright laws.
Those, who want to take the protection to the next level and secure their rights even more firmly, can register their copyrights. Most people confuse the Photo Copyright Release Form with patent and trademark rights though unlike these two, photo copyright is granted the very moment the creative piece is produced. The form combined with registration helps create a strong case in favor of the photographer should the third party make false claims in the future.
The right to photos can be registered by visiting the United States Copyright Office physically or by visiting the official website. With the payments of a small amount, you can confirm your rights to the photo legally and without much hassle. Remember though that the first step is always getting the Simple Photo Release Form signed.
The Difference Between and a Model Release Form and a Photo Release Form:
The Photo Copyright Release Form is often confused and mixed up with a model release form and ends up with the photographer getting the wrong template for photograph consent. While the two forms seem quite similar and it even takes some time to understand the purpose behind the two, the difference is very much real.
So far, we already know that a Photo Copyright Release Form is an agreement between a photographer and the photographed person (children or an object) in which the latter party provides consent to the photographer to use the image for whatever reasons, personal or otherwise.
The model release form is slightly different. It is a form produced by the model themselves and they get it signed by the photographer. In most photo shoots, both parties produce each release form to secure and protect the deal from their side.

Administrating Photo Release Form:
To make sure the process of attaining legal rights of a photo goes smoothly, the following steps must be followed:
Keep the paperwork at hand:
No matter your line of work, it is your moral and ethical duty to educate yourself on all the right and legal procedures needed to be followed and to always remain prepared for it. Similarly, photographers and photography studios are obliged to always keep a Photo Release Form Template with them so that they produce it within a moment's notice upon need. Make sure you have several prints available or a printer nearby.
Ensure that your template contains all the legible information:
It can lead to major regrets later when the form has been signed and closed at the right time only to discover later that the information in the form was not legible or incomplete. This happens when the form has been attained from an unprofessional source. When printing out a template, make sure to check the following:
Words used in the release form are easy to read and understand by the clients without creating any kind of ambiguousness.
Check the information present in the form and whether it is complete and states all the right things.
Contact information on the release form should be visible and valid.
Synchronize the Release Form with the Photo it refers to:
A photography studio takes hundreds of pictures each day and the unorganized manner of relating the form with the picture can cause problems later. As it happens, photo troubles do not always drop by instantly but years and decades later. By that time, photographers might not even remember if they had taken the photo, let alone remember which release form refers to which picture. It would be smart to file photos and release forms in a manner that they associate with each other easily.
Benefit From The Advanced Technology:
Gone are the days when paper files used to keep records in check. It is far easier to scan photos and keep it electronically safe with a backup system so that fire, water or theft incidents can keep the files safe and sound.
Even presidential candidate Hillary Clinton cannot keep her email trails hidden and neither can any model. For secure procedures, make sure that the form alongside the scanned photo and the signed agreement is sent to the model. The email can be traced easily and avoids the messy confusion and refutations later. It even functions as a backup in situations where records might be lost.
Lessons to learn from:
A person can either learn from their mistakes or be wise enough to learn from the mistakes of others. In all rights, a picture is just one small piece of digital paper yet it can cause mountains of troubles. Here are some cases to prove the point:
Andrew Leonard is a Microphotography expert and when his stem cells picture was stolen and used by a company on its website and other marketing materials, Leonard was awarded $1.6m because the company refused to produce a photo release form.
Even social media is not safe from lack of paperwork. When photojournalist Daniel Morel took the first pictures of the 2010 Haiti earthquake and posted it on his Twitter account, AFP shared it indirectly. The photographer filed a case and the AFP had to pay $1.2m in statutory damages.
Corbis is a stock company trusted to keep photos safe. They lost one of their client's pictures and had to pay $472,000.
A photographer named Philip-Lorca diCorcia took a picture of a Jew diamond merchant Nussenzweig. When the latter found his picture in an art gallery and published in a book, he swiftly sued the photographer. Even though diCorcia won the case, it wasted an awful lot of time and money.
Photo Release Form Examples
The crux is to be aware when you are clicking and capturing things with those cameras of yours. A public place is a safe zone and you can take as many pictures as you want. If it is sight bestowed from nature like a beautiful sunset or a horizon, then snap away. Even newsworthy photos can be taken instantly and sent to the newspaper or a channel.
However, keep your ears up when you have taken a photo of a person, a child or of a private object up-close and went on to use it personally, publicly or for promotional purposes. It is not just your legal and professional responsibility to take permission to use the photo but also a breach of the right of privacy of the other person in case the picture has been captured and shared without consent.
A Photo Copyright Release Form might be a single page of document but it can save you from losing millions in case someone files a case against you for infringement.

Laura Young
Addressing the Mental Health Needs of Young People
(Empowering your staff)
Laura Young has worked in schools across the world for over 25 years, most recently as a Head of Sixth Form at an independent school in south west England. In recent years she has become aware that the pupils in her care were struggling to cope with life's challenges, this was having a knock on effect on their studies, their happiness and their lives in general.
The type and quantity of challenges faced were well beyond the limits of the skills Laura had acquired as a teacher. Teachers on the front line are seeing pupils struggle and can often feel powerless to help when they themselves are struggling to cope with the pressures of a full and hugely demanding job. In this training for staff, Laura aims to strip away the fear, enormity and mystery surrounding the decline in mental health in young people. She will give those who attend a robust, simple framework to use that is rooted in evidence based, solution focused, psychological science. Whilst the training aims to empower staff, it is not an attempt to turn staff into therapists. Laura Young undertook training with the Human Givens College, and qualified with a Diploma in Psychotherapy and is now determined to pass on what she learnt, to educate school communities and try to curb this wave of poor mental health amongst young people today. Every educational establishment is unique so Laura will tailor any training to fulfil the needs of each individual school. By building a culture of wellbeing there is no doubt that academic standards will be improved. The same applies to the school community as a whole. With good well-being comes increased productivity, less sick days, a happier work force/community and much more. Good pastoral care develops these skills and ensures students have the tools to thrive in today's world.

The Rough Green Snake: What You Need to Know
November 11, 2021 by Sunil
The rough green snake is a small non-venomous reptile that inhabits the eastern and southern United States. This species is chiefly active during the day and is known for its preference for areas with tall, dense vegetation.
Rough green snakes are rarely found in open spaces where they would be more vulnerable to predators. They have a diet consisting mostly of slugs, snails, millipedes, beetles, sow bugs, and earthworms.
In addition to these prey items, rough green snakes will sometimes eat frogs or live prey such as lizards. This species reproduces on average once per year with a gestation period of about one month. Rough green snake eggs are laid in early summer and hatch 17 days later.
Common Habitats
What is a rough green snake?
How do I identify a rough green snake?
Where does the rough green snake live?
What should I do if I find a rough green snake in my home or yard?
Rough green snakes can be encountered in the western United States (from southern California to northwestern Montana) and eastern Canada (New Brunswick and Nova Scotia).
The typical coloration is brown with many white or yellowish speckles. The brown may fade to nearly whitish in the spring, but the speckles persist into summer. The upper sides of the body are marked with black and yellow.
Small black or yellow marks may be present near the head. A narrow, blackish stripe runs across the upper lip. The lower belly is white or yellow with dark brown or black streaks or spots.
Rough green snakes feed on mice and other small rodents, grasses, and spiders. Although they are capable of chasing small animals, they generally do not kill them.
Rough green snakes range from southern Canada and the United States, across Central America, and northward to eastern Peru and Colombia. The snakes can also be found in the Middle East.
The most common habitat of the rough green snake is open, dry areas with few trees. They also live in forest edge zones with tall grasses, pine trees, and other shrubs. They tend to avoid wet areas and dry areas with low vegetation.
Rough green snakes are omnivorous, and like many snakes will eat virtually anything they can find. They eat amphibians, lizards, snakes, frogs, fish, insects, earthworms, small mammals, and fruit and vegetable matter.
They generally prefer living prey but will feed on dead animals if it is available. They will eat eggs, young, and even immature snakes.
Adults are mainly carnivorous and feed on small mammals and lizards. Their favorite food is a variety of snakes, including grass snakes, eastern hognose snakes, rat snakes, and small crocodilians. They will also consume frogs and crayfish.
Rough green snakes are often found in both tall and shortgrass prairie, oak woodlands, and oak savannah.
Rough green snakes mate in the fall and lay eggs in a clutch the following spring. Eggs are laid in the ground in a moist habitat.
The eggs are six to seven millimeters long and are made up of four to five rounded white ones with darker reddish-brown spots on them. The eggs hatch in six to eight weeks.
Rough green snakes are considered to be an offshoot of bad-tempered greens.
The rough green snake is active during the day. It is often found in grassy, dry, and disturbed areas. The female lays 5 to 18 eggs in a ground nest. The rough green snake usually lays from 20 to 40 eggs at a time.
The eggs are usually laid in mid-summer, but in very hot weather she may lay them as early as mid-spring or as late as late summer. The eggs hatch after about two weeks.
Feeding and Diet
The rough green snake feeds on any small creature that it can catch. It consumes several species of small mammals, lizards, small birds, shrews, and rodents. It often feeds in large groups.
In addition to eating prey, it swallows live, wounded insects or small lizards. It usually does not eat snakes, lizards, amphibians, or reptiles that are alive.
A rough green snake is a subspecies of a colubrid species called the green snake. Colubrid species are members of the family Elapidae, which is the largest of the approximately 550 snake species found in the Americas.
The green snake is not a native species to North America. The snake was probably originally introduced in the area now known as the Carolinas during the early European colonization of the New World, perhaps by the Spanish.
Why the name rough green snake? The snake's appearance is variable. You will usually see the snake during the warmer part of the day, which is late morning to early afternoon. This is when they are most active and feeding.
The distinguishing features of a rough green snake are one yellow-orange strip on each side of its back that extends from its throat to its tail. It also has a distinctive pair of white markings on each side of its neck.
These markings start behind the mouth and run down the length of the snake to its tail. The smooth green snake also has white stripes on its throat, but does not have the throat markings and has a much smaller triangular head.
Green snakes that have a yellow-orange stripe on each side of the back are a distinct species, but rough green snakes that have stripes on the back can be confused with smooth green snakes.
The rough green snake is common throughout the eastern U.S., from the Midwest west to the Rocky Mountains, and south to northern Florida, northern Texas, and central Mexico. Its habitat also includes the United States Virgin Islands, as well as Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
How do I recognize this snake?
The rough green snake often is found along roadsides, around rivers, and in other brushy areas. This snake prefers dry habitats and, in the Eastern part of its range, often occurs near streams.
However, the snakes often will also be found in moist woodlands, open fields, gardens, and, occasionally, where the ground has been disturbed in an area already occupied by nonvenomous snakes such as eastern hognose snakes (Echis carinatus).
The best way to avoid a snake bite is to reduce or eliminate any hiding places in your home where snakes may be hiding. Keep tall shrubs and overhanging tree branches trimmed. If possible, store your food outdoors, and cover your compost pile.
Keep boats and other outdoor equipment stored away from the house, and never store poisonous snakes or slithery creatures in the garage. Keep sheds, sheds, and garages well-fenced and keep all pets inside the house at night.
How do I protect myself and my family from a snake bite?
There are no effective treatments for snakebites, but antivenom is often administered. Call 911 if you are bitten or if you see someone bitten. If bitten, call a Poison Control Center for emergency assistance or call your local poison control center.
When describing a snake, it is useful to distinguish it from similar species. In this example, the hairy-legged rat snake and the black rat snake are not snakes. The "brown ratsnake" is not a snake, and the eastern black snake is not a snake.
Sadly, sometimes an animal falls victim to mistaken identification and the question remains "was it a snake?" Often we have no idea whether a snake bit the animal.
We need to rely on the reports of other people who were present to provide a definitive answer.

Stand By Me Home Manifesto What We Do Sponsor a Child
News Our Story Donate Get Involved
Jonny embraces the shave!
Jonny's shaving his hair and beard to support families with food during the coronavirus
$500 raised of $240 target
This summer I will be saying goodbye to my hair and beard and in doing so I want to raise money for Stand by Me's Food Appeal. We've all been affected by the coronavirus pandemic but for families in some countries they have many more worries on top of that. Schools around the world have been closed for the protection of the children and their families but this has meant that the children in the Stand by Me schools miss out on their meals provided with the education.
So I want to help raise money so that kids and their families can receive food parcels to ensure they don't suffer from malnourishment or starvation. On top of providing for their physical needs, Stand by Me also bring the gospel to families so that they can learn of a God who can meet their spiritual needs. I would love to raise £240 to provide six families with a month's supply of essential food and soap to keep them nourished and healthy.
I would be grateful for any contribution you can make as it provides a lifeline for these families who are not as fortunate as ourselves.

Explorers of the New Century
by Magnus Mills
My eagerly anticipated copy of Explorers of the New Century finally arrived from Amazon.co.uk. It will be released the U.S. in the spring of 2006, but if you're a fan of Mills as I am, that's too long of a wait.
The book was as good as I hoped it would be, right up there with his best works, such as The Restraint of Beasts and Three to See the King. It has many of the same general characteristics as his previous works with a comically fetishistic observance of the mundane.
The tale is set in some unnamed region—barren and vaguely polar—where teams led by Johns and Totsig are following different parallel routes toward the "Agreed Furthest Point". Each commands a group of men known only by their last names—along with a complement of mules. Johns' team is full of pluck and spirit, but always threatening to descend into chaos; Totsig's smaller team is a model of efficiency and discipline, any indiscretions confronted with a martial strictness. (There's a loose parallel here to the Scott and Amundsen expeditions to the South Pole.)
In the tradition of an earlier era when scientific and social purpose, not ego, were supposed to be motivations, the leaders go to some length to disclaim any idea that they are in race, though it becomes increasingly obvious that this is not the case. As the journey unfolds, hints are made to a darker purpose behind the trip—such as sketchy references to principles of "Transportation Theory".
Mills really seems to be playing with the form. First is the very artifact of the book itself; the hardback U.K. version comes with an ironic, sewn-in ribbon bookmark—a play on the fact that this is ostensibly an account of turn-of-the-century iron-men, but is in fact a comic misadventure packaged in a thin volume that can easily be read in a night.
Then there was this exchange between members of the Johns' team, one of whom had just mentioned his desire for "scones":
[Plover] waited a moment and then said, 'I think you'll find that the correct pronunciation is "scones".'
'"Scones?"' repeated Sargent.
'"Scones,"' repeated Plover.
'Well, I've never heard that. We've always said "scones" where I come from.'
'Same here,' agreed Seddon.
'I assure you the word is "scones",' said Plover. 'You should look it up when you have the opportunity.'
The absurdity of these written words are funny on their own, but as a comic device it has the added effect of breaking the reader out of the insular world he has created and somehow bringing it into greater relief.

Many museums (including Harvard's Museum of Natural History) started off as "cabinets of curiosities" which brought together oddities from all over the world. Items where usually grouped by type which took them out of their context but served to highten their strangeness.
In Indians and English: Facing Off in Early America, author Karen Ordahl Kupperman puts the development of these collections into an interesting historical perspective. They happened to coincide with the beginnings of England's colonization of the New World—at just the time when humanists where turning to the ancient world for guidance on the present.
An interesting parallel was being drawn from Tacitus who portrayed the ancient Britons and Germans as honest and straightforward, in contrast to the sophisticated and manipulative Romans. Many English writers in the 17th century couldn't help but see this same contrast between the earthly Indians and the increasingly cosmopolitan English.
The "search for the new", exemplified by the museums, was unsettling for those who saw in it a reflection of English society's decline into trivialities.

Cast of Shadows
by Kevin Guilfoile
I first heard of this book when I read a few funny postings about the press tour written by the author who is a contributer at The Morning News. I'm not usually a big fan of mysteries, but as I found the postings engaging and the basic plot outline interesting it seemed worth a glance.
It takes place in a near-term future where cloning has become commonplace but is still enmeshed in passions similar to today's abortion debate. The religious extremism it arouses becomes one of the main elements of the story, but it doesn't get overly bogged down in an examination of the morality of the process.
The narrative is driven by the quest of a cloning provider to discover the man who had killed and sexually assaulted his daughter. When the police, who have been unable to crack the case, accidentally provide him with DNA evidence, he sees an opportunity. He substitutes the cells of an anonymous donor with those of the killer and uses those to impregnate a client.
While this was a compelling setup, it wasn't clear where he could really take the plot at this point: what was left other than waiting for the clone to grow up? Actually, the story grew enjoyably entangled as complications arose in following the young boy; complications that lead to murder and ruined lives—and which ultimately lead the doctor to struggle with the ethics of his act for reasons he had never anticipated.
Some of the story actually unfolds in a highly sophisticated online gaming world that has become hugely popular - a world that is a virtual duplicate of the real one, with many people having the same jobs and living in the same locations. I found myself becoming increasingly ambivalent of this aspect of the book. On the one hand it was reasonably well handled in that it didn't lose track of the fact that it was being played by individuals sitting at computers. But on the other, the virtual world was in fact too much like its real counterpart, with many people doing the same mundane tasks. It stretches credulity to think that these two universes wouldn't have diverged more dramatically. I generally get turned off when I find myself straining to believe some component of a work like this, but overall it was compelling enough that I was picking the book up every chance I had to find out what was going to happen next.
A website dedicated to the book with exerpts and more reviews can be found here.

Outkast's Big Boi Lists Iconic Dungeon Family Home On Airbnb - For $25 A Night
Published on: Jun 17, 2021, 4:35 PM
by Kyle Eustice
Atlanta, GA – Before Outkast became immortalized as Hip Hop legends, André 3000 and Big Boi were just two teenagers spitting rhymes in producer Rico Wade's mother's basement in Lakewood Heights — nicknamed The Dungeon. Now, Outkast fans can experience The Dungeon for themselves for the low price of just $25 a night. According to a press release, Big Boi has listed the iconic home on the Airbnb website for a limited time only.
"Fans will have a chance to relive Dungeon Family history and even record their own sounds at the home where southern classics like 'Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik,' 'Spottieottiedopaliscious' and 'Elevators' were made," the press release promises. "It's where Outkast and other music pioneers [including The Dungeon Family's Goodie Mob and Organized Noize] spent hours hanging out, writing rhymes and putting together beats at all hours of the night. In fact, the walls still bear signatures of some of the artists who got their start there."
A post shared by Big Boi (@bigboi)
Bookings open on June 25, with Big Boi hosting three overnight stays at The Dungeon on June 29, July 1 and July 3.
"Atlanta is my home and I grew up with The Dungeon Family in this house," Big Boi says. "We would spend hours hanging out in the basement, writing rhymes and putting together beats. Since purchasing the home, I've been excited to open its doors and welcome the next generation of artists to the space that inspired countless songs."
Big Boi bought the home in January 2019, which he announced in an Instagram post. "New day new Lot," he wrote at the time. "Just copped the Dungeon #WeDF #playingRealLifeMonopoly #RealEstate."
Both Outkast's seminal 1994 debut Southerplayalisticadillacmuzik and Goodie Mob's 1995 debut Soul Food were recorded at The Dungeon before the crew moved their operation to Stankonia Studios in the late 1990s. In an interview with HipHopDX last November, Goodie Mob co-founder CeeLo Green talked about his breakout solo success and how it was really a positive thing for the entire Dungeon Family.
"We all have been longtime friends," he explained at the time. "With men, there's different personality differences, different artistic differences, opinions. Like, we're men, we're fathers, heads of households, and that energy is there, that tension is there at times. But no, we don't leverage what we've gained separately against each other. We leverage it for the greater good of the collective. So in my opinion, Gnarls Barkley, Cee-Lo Green, The Voice, 'Crazy,' 'Fuck You,' everything — that's a win for Dungeon Family.
"It's no different than, 'Hey Ya!' or 'The Way You Move' or anything Outkast did. Like, 'Hey, that's my win too.' That's a win for Dungeon Family. Their success is my success, my success is their success, and I believe that we should all share and share like in that way."
A post shared by Airbnb (@airbnb)
The $25 asking price for The Dungeon stay is in honor of ATLiens' 25th anniversary, Outkast's 1996 multi-platinum sophomore album.
Guests will have guided access to the basement of the house, be able to play records in rooms styled to commemorate key Atlanta locations that inspired The Dungeon Family's tracks, access to a state of the art in-home studio, outfitted with Yamaha audio equipment, arrive in style with local transportation (within Atlanta city limits) to and from the house in an Escalade and discover surprises throughout the house that are remnants of The Dungeon Family's illustrious past and lasting impact on music today.
CeeLo Green Details 'Git Up Git Out' Lyrics From Outkast's 1994 Classic 'Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik'
In recognition of the significant impact of music education on Big Boi's career and his own involvement in the cause, Airbnb will make a one-time donation to Atlanta Public Schools Music Department to expand resources and increase access to music education for kids aged K-12th grade.

Regular Council Meeting, Monday 14th January 2019 at 7.00pm in the village hall meeting room.
Earlier this year OCC put an extra £10m into fixing the roads – effectively doubling the amount of money invested in repairs – and crews are out and about every day in all types of weather doing the job. Their work has already resulted in £1.6m worth of surface dressing with around 33km of roads being surfaced. Work is also under way on a £700,000 programme of surfacing sealing projects around the county. As well as the extra cash which is going into some larger projects, the county council has also increased the amount of relatively small-scale work it does to put right local roads that are suffering from potholes, cracks and worn out tarmac. The number of completed defect repairs between January and September this year is 35,127.
Plans to completely overhaul the county council were given the go-ahead by the county council's Cabinet on 16 October. They agreed a major investment in digital technology to improve customer service and reduce council running costs. The redesigned council will enable residents to report faults or book appointments online, freeing up staff time to help to service users who cannot go online or have complex care needs. Staff will be given the tools they need to do a better job and spend more time on delivering services to residents. Outdated ICT systems make it hard to join up services and will be replaced, with admin tasks automated to save money and make the council run more smoothly. The changes will support the county council's long-term vision of 'thriving communities for everyone in Oxfordshire'. The redesign is also needed to secure the council's long-term financial stability as demand for services continues to rise – particularly for children and adult social care.
Rogue traders and aggressive doorstep sellers were targeted during October by OCC Trading Standards as part of ongoing work to protect residents and business people. Working in collaboration with Thames Valley Police, Operation Rogue Trader aims to stop rogue business practices and raise awareness of the dangers linked to hiring cold-callers. Fourteen Trading Standards staff and around 30 police travelled around the county when 67 traders were approached and checked; ten warning letters were issued; five waste offenders were fined by district councils; and an overloaded vehicle was investigated along with seven doorstep crime offences and two police offences. In Henley four traders were checked; three warning letters were issued to traders for not providing 'cancellation rights' to residents; and there were three offences for carrying waste without a licence. In Witney 11 traders were checked; and two warning letters issued to traders for not providing 'cancellation rights' to residents. Those who suspect someone of being a rogue trader, or find themselves accosted by uninvited doorstep sellers should contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 03454 040506.
Hundreds of businesses and homes across Oxfordshire are set to benefit from faster internet connections, following the launch of the UK Government's nationwide Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme (GBVS). The £67m investment is in addition to the £200m allocated to the Local Full Fibre Networks (LFFN) programme, and will provide future-proof full fibre connections for businesses and the residential communities around them. It follows a successful pilot scheme launched in four areas around the country late last year, which has already seen nearly 1,000 vouchers used up to date. ThinkBroadband statistics show that 8% of homes and businesses in Oxfordshire already have a full fibre internet connection. Superfast broadband reaches almost 97% of premises, and even-quicker ultrafast broadband covers 51.3% of the county. The vouchers, worth up to £3,000 for a SME and £500 for a resident, provide a one-off contribution to subsidise the installation cost of gigabit-capable infrastructure. In addition to providing a boost to the 95% of the UK that can already get superfast speeds (24Mbps or faster), the vouchers could also help those not yet able to do so, helping to narrow the diminishing digital divide even further. The scheme launched at the end of March 2018 and will run until March 2021 or until all available funding has been allocated. For more information visit https://gigabitvoucher.culture.gov.uk/.
Flu season is coming and the army of front line carers across Oxfordshire are being urged to make having a free jab a key priority. More than 8,500 staff employed in residential care, nursing homes or with registered domiciliary care providers, who are directly involved in the care of vulnerable people, are entitled to a free flu jab. Keeping this valuable workforce fit and well is essential to easing winter pressures across the county's health and social care system. Being immunised not only reduces the chances of carers themselves and their families becoming unwell, it also means that the health of the most vulnerable people in Oxfordshire's communities is not compromised. The flu is not the same as getting a cold. It can seriously affect an individual's health and the risks of developing complications are greater for people within the 'at-risk' groups – for example the over 65s and those with medical conditions like heart, lung and kidney diseases, diabetes, asthma and multiple sclerosis. Healthy individuals usually recover within two to seven days, but for some influenza can lead to a stay in hospital, permanent disability or even death. All workers across the NHS will get flu jabs – meaning the immunisation of the whole health and social care workforce will make the system more resilient. As well as workers in social care settings, anyone who receives a carers allowance, or is the main carer for an elderly or disabled person, is eligible for a free vaccination; all they have to do is present their ID badge to a pharmacist or GP surgery.
Cllr Janet Shelley regrets she is unable to attend as she is summoned to another meeting and conveys her sincere apologies.
Enforcement notice served – awaiting response from Case Officer.
However, this has now been followed by an Appeal application reference P18/V1715/HH for installation of oak posts and glass balustrade over flat roof to form balcony to north elevation. Reconfiguration of window opening to form door providing access to the balcony. Date and venue of hearing will be advised in due course but within 8 weeks of the appeal start date.
This planning application P18/V1715/HH was received by the Vale on 5th July 2018.
Decision letter addressed to Mr K Naylor on 10th September 2018.
Vale of White Horse district councillors will be voting on a proposed response to the Planning Inspector relating to part two of the council's Local Plan in the coming weeks.
Following on from the plan's public hearing sessions in July and September, the Planning Inspector wrote to the council asking for confirmation as to their preferred approach to the proposed site allocation at Dalton Barracks.
The Inspector also made it clear that modifications would be needed to allow the plan to progress and that he would advise on these in due course. Modifications following examination are a normal part of the Local Plan making process.
The base will be decommissioned by the MOD during the life of the Local Plan, which extends to 2031. The original plan also acknowledged that in the longer-term the site could accommodate up to 4,500 homes and so the Council suggested removing the whole site from the Green Belt to enable any future development in the longer-term.
The Inspector explained he felt there wasn't currently sufficient evidence to remove the whole site from the Green Belt and outlined three options for proceeding. Vale of White Horse planning policy officers are recommending modifying the plan, so it only removes enough land for the 1,200 homes that are covered by the evidence provided as part of this plan.
The council's Cabinet will vote on the recommendation on 16 November to make a recommendation to the full Council meeting on 19 November.
Part one of the Vale's Local Plan was adopted in December 2016. It was submitted for independent examination in February 2018. Part two deals with detailed policies, and also identifies additional sites to help the council meet its duty to support Oxford City Council with its unmet need for housing development.
Consultation period on this planning application P18/V1826/RM expired on Friday, 9th November.
There are concerns relating to overdevelopment, insufficient parking, impact on street scene and un-neighbourliness relating to dumping of rubbish, which already exists in the area.
Groups in the Vale looking to hold an event in the run up to Christmas (and beyond) are being encouraged to apply for grant funding from the district council.
The Vale has more than £6,000 available to support festivals and events organised by non-profit community organisations.
Grants of up to £1,000 per application are available – they can cover up to 75 per cent of the total costs of staging an event that is open to the local community with at least 100 people due to attend.
Following a motion at the Vale's Council meeting on Wednesday, 10th October, Cllr Roger Cox, Leader, has written to the Secretary of State for Housing Community and Local Government to request a review of the definition of 'affordable housing' and is strongly urging government to consider a more regional based approach to affordable housing which could reflect local circumstances and salaries.
Please help spread the word to local retailers over the coming months that Purple Tuesday took place today, Tuesday, 13 November.
This special day aims to encourage shops across the country to make shopping more inclusive and accessible for disabled customers.
The District Community Centre is located within the Vale on GWP development opposite the Station Garden pub/pizza restaurant.
A ground-breaking ceremony marking the commencement of the construction of this centre has been arranged by Taylor Wimpey for 21st November at 2.00pm.
This centre will be 900 sq.m (much larger than the existing Northern Community Building in Didcot on GWP measuring 168 sq.m) will consist of foyer and community café/coffee bar, kitchen, reception, office, main hall, ancillary hall, large room, meeting room, 2 interview rooms, creche, creche secure outside space, stores, WCs, police office, plant rooms and parking.
Completion date is expected to be around September/October 2019.
A further Southern Community Building on GWP – planning application P18/S2086/RM – will be sited in East Hagbourne and planned completion is around June/July 2019. This will be approximately 330 sq.m and comprise a hall, kitchen, 2 meeting rooms, WCs, stores, associated outdoor space and parking.
Residents of southern Oxfordshire (the Vale and South Oxfordshire) who have diabetes can sign up for a month's FREE swimming thanks to a special offer from the Vale and SODC.
This month's offer is to coincide with World Diabetes on 14 November.
Would-be swimmers will need to register for the offer by emailing participation@@southandvale.gov.uk or by calling 01235 422219. Once confirmation is received the month-long swim will commence from the date of the first swim.
The scheme is part of the district councils' GO Active Get Healthy county-wide programme to support people with diabetes into physical activity.
At very short notice, Taylor Wimpey organised a Public Exhibition for the first phase of this development of 4,254 homes on Thursday, 22nd November, from 4.00pm to 7.00pm at Taylor Wimpey's former GWP sales office, Sir Frank Williams Avenue, Didcot OX11 6AB. Cllr Reg Waite attended that one and raised a number of questions.
A further Public Exhibition is to be held on Tuesday, 4th December from 4.00pm to 7.00pm at the same venue. Please attend if possible because your views and comments are important.
Councillors, local town and parish councillors and neighbourhood planning groups were invited to the renewal energy workshop which took place on Wednesday, 21 November from 1pm – 4pm in association with the Centre for Sustainable Energy.
The workshop included identifying potential energy resources, expressing support for specific forms of renewable energy, identifying suitable sites and promoting a more sustainable future. We were unable to attend but understand it was beneficial to those who went along. Was Upton PC represented – if so, your feedback would be welcomed.
Offices will be shut at the end of the day on Friday, 21st December and will not open again until Wednesday, 2nd January.
WARNING – Please note that the Rye Farm Commercial car park, Abingdon is closed until further notice.

The SSL/TLS traffic is encrypted, and if it can be decrypted, it would be a hot topic in security circles right now. In general, when we are navigating the Internet and browsing websites, we don't really often type a domain address by using HTTPS directly, but we almost always type HTTP. We all know it is very difficult, if not almost impossible (though nothing is impossible for IT experts) to exploit an SSL/TLS session. But we can break such protocols in an alternative way by sniffing it.
have just mentioned previously) and arp with a powerful tool like sslstrip, we can definitely be successful. This action is technically called a MITM attack. The MITM is the kind of attack that intercepts communication between two systems, for example, between the client and server. The key tool here that does the magic work of exploiting the SSL traffic is sslstrip.
All we did in the preceding command is that we redirected all the incoming traffic that is usually sent to port 80/HTTP protocol onto a new port at our discretion, which in this case is port 10000. The reason why we chose a high port is to ensure that the port is not used. Also, the port 10000 didn't require any high privileges to be started/listened. The ports up to 1024 require high privileges. Now we are ready with all of the configurations and are good to go further. We have to run three tools in parallel, so we will need at least two terminals opened at the same time in order to be able to do that. We need two terminals because we will combine two of the tools into a single command, but anyone can use a separate shell for the third tool as well. All we need is the IP address of the target machine and the gateway. Note that we are on the same network of the target machine.
For those who are curious and want to use more options, please check the man page for the tools.
is SSL-enabled (nearly 99 percent of e-mail servers are SSL enabled). We proceed to sign into the account, which like in our case can be an e-mail account. Once we log in to a couple of our e-mail accounts, if we check the sslstrip/ettercap/ arp captured data, we will be able see the SSL traffic and also hopefully the login credentials with username/password in clear text.
After having performed the actions shown in the previous screenshot, all traffic will be stored in a file called sslstrip.log, where we can see a clear text of the traffic, including logins. The preceding screenshot shows that the traffic has been captured, including the part of our attempt to log in to our e-mail accounts. For HTTPS-encrypted authentication, we have been choosing the most encrypted e-mail server provided by Google, which is the Gmail service. We can clearly see the login credentials that have been captured and decrypted in clear text. We can not only capture and decrypt the login credentials, but if we pay close attention towards the end of the sslstrip.log file in the preceding screenshot, we will notice that it has also captured the content of the e-mails in the inbox (note that the e-mail arrived from LinkedIn notifies an invitation to the owner of the e-mail account).

The first half of the video describes all details of S5 SUV scooter. Airwheel S5 SUV scooter is designed and manufactured with great care and precision without compromise to the quality as always. Compared with S3, Airwheel S5 SUV scooter is bigger and tougher, which is aligned with its positioning as a SUV riding model.
The handsome parked the Hummer in the parking lot and rode an S5 SUV electric scooter distributors for the rest journey. S5 travelled smoothly on all terrains, from flat highways surrounded by mountains to slabstone paths in a central park and from lush green fields to sand-filled mud. With superior cross-country ability, S5 SUV balancing scooter lives up to its reputation.
The handsome rode all the way to a stud farm to race with two herdsmen. Where the oldest means of transport meets the latest one and classic warmth is integrated with modern high technology, the combination of gallopers and Airwheel S5 SUV balancing two-wheeler presents a brand new visual experience.
The ride video provides an access to exquisiteness of S5 SUV scooter, and exposes its boldness.

dancing with architecture: J.J.P. Oud in Rotterdam and Katwijk aan Zee, Netherlands
Jacobus Johannes Pieter Oud, more commonly known as J.J.P. Oud, was a Dutch architect and one of the earliest architectural Modernists as well as an early follower of De Stijl. In his formative years, he was influenced by Berlange, studied under Theodor Fischer in Munich, worked with W.M. Dudok and became involved with Theo van Doesburg. While architect for the city housing authority in Rotterdam between 1918 and 1933, he built many socially progressive housing developments in a style he called "poetic functionalism."
Oud participated in the Weissenhof Exhibition in 1927 and in 1932 was named by Henry Russel-Hitchcock and Philip Johnson as, along with Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Walter Gropius, one of the four greatest modern architects (although years later Hitchcock regretted that he had not swapped out Oud with Rietveld). He was ostracized from Modernism after photos of his lightly ornamented Shell Headquarters built in The Hague in 1941 made the rounds after the war.
These days, Oud is remembered mostly for his decidedly De Stijl De Unie Cafe in Rotterdam built in 1925 and his row houses at the Weissenhof. Amazingly, the cafe still exists today in much of its original grandeur (at least the facade). We stopped in for a drink and snack (beer and bitterballs). During the day, De Unie is a cafe; at night, it's a gay bar. The men's restroom had a pay dispenser for hair gel!
A photo from back in the day.
The Kiefhoek (1928-1930) was one of his housing developments for Rotterdam, an array of two-story apartments with some retail. Notably, each apartment is washed with ample light from ribbon-windows and is graced with a small yard. There's a subtler use of De Stijl's trademark red, blue, and yellow in the development.
Photo from back in the day.
In 1923, Oud designed and built a temporary office for the superintendent of construction for a housing development at Oud-Mathenesse. The development was recently demolished by Rotterdam but replaced with something in the spirit of Oud. Rotterdam also rebuilt the superintendent's office.
The morbid replacement housing.
Finally, we set for the coast to see one of Oud's earliest buildings, a remarkable house at Katwijk-aan-Zee built in 1917 and designed with Kamerlingh Onnes. It is "now" a hotel, so I tried to get a room, but could never get the non-English website to work. When we pulled up, I was horrified to see that it was being torn down. That horror quickly turned to relief when it became apparent that the workers were restoring the structure to its original design (various owners over the years had considerably modified the structure).

rainwater revival 2016


A radio correspondent from Bicol convinced even Palace transcribers that he was President Rodrigo Duterte.
On Monday, March 19, media were sent a Malacañang transcript of a radio interview, supposedly of Duterte and Special Assistant to the President Bong Go, with DZRH anchors Deo Macalma and Rica Herra.
It turns out, it was not the President himself who spoke on air but Jun Alegre, DZRH's Bicol correspondent.
Alegre, pretending to be Duterte, "confirmed" his full support for Go's supposed senatorial bid.
Problem is, Palace transcribers seemed to think it was really the President speaking. In transcripts of the interview sent to media, transcribers from the News and Information Bureau (NIB) labeled it, "Interview with President Rodrigo Roa Duterte by Deo Macalma/Rica Herra/Isyu/DZRH."
The NIB is under the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO).
Various media outfits, seeing no reason to doubt the official transcript, wrote news articles based on it.
GMA News Online, for instance, wrote a story titled "Duterte on Bong Go's possible Senate bid: 'Itinaas ko na ang kamay niyan.'" The story has been taken down from the news website.
Reporters in Camarines Sur, in the region from which the impersonator hails, even asked Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque about the same quote, supposedly from Duterte.
Go took part in the mock interview and it was likely his playing along with the impersonation that lent credence to the thought that it was Duterte speaking.
"Salamat, Mr President at tumawag kayo sa DZRH at ginawa mong live. Alam mo puso mo at ang puso ko ay iisa, para sa tao," said Go.
A DZRH anchor then went on to ask: "So, Mr President, puwede na po naming itaas ang kanyang kamay for senator sa 2019, Mr President, may go signal na po ba sa inyo?"
More than two hours after sending the misleading interview transcript, the NIB sent an erratum to media.
