This past weekend Cedar Point was open on Saturday and Sunday. Now that Soak City has officially closed for the season, Soak City has began its transformation into Cedar Point Shores Water Park! We had an opportunity to go down and check out the progress!
Soak City's East Admission page has started to come down. The new gate will be relocated to the middle of the water park near Magnum XL-200's drop.
Deconstruction of the Challenge Park Ticket booth has began. When this first opened in 1988, it was used to sell the tickets from Soak City.
Demolition on Challenge Golf has began. Challenge Golf was built in 1992.
Challenge Golf will eventually become a parking lot for the new expansion of Hotel Breakers!
The former Challenge Park is all fenced off so that construction can began on Cedar Point Shores Water Park.
Thats all that we have to report at this time. Please check back in the future for more updates!


Sunburn is a skin injury caused by heat and radiation. A first-degree burn affects the top layer of the skin and causes redness, slight tenderness, and may cause light peeling of the skin within 24 to 48 hours after injury.
A more serious sunburn, known as a second-degree burn, causes damage deeper in the skin. This type of burn may cause blisters to form and takes longer to heal. The blisters usually appear a few hours after sunburn occurs, but sometimes they can take up to 24 hours to develop.
Sunburn blisters can be extremely painful and take around a week to heal. This type of burn also increases the risk of developing skin cancer and melanoma. After the blisters heal, blister scars that appear as dark or light spots on the surface of the skin can remain visible for 6 to 12 months.
In this article, we look at what causes these blisters to form, how to look after them, and what can be done to protect the skin from the sun.
Sunburn blisters are similar in appearance to regular blisters.
They tend to heal naturally after around a week.
Sunburn blisters may be accompanied by more severe symptoms that should be seen by a doctor.
People can avoid sunburn blisters by following sun protection guidelines.
A second-degree burn from sun exposure may cause sunburn blisters.
Sunburn blisters form as small bumps on the skin.
They are usually white or transparent in appearance and filled with fluid, which can be lymph, serum, plasma, blood, or pus.
Most people who get sunburned will find the blisters very painful, particularly if touched or if an item of clothing rubs against them. They may also become extremely itchy.
However, both pain and itchiness will lessen as the blisters start to heal.
Sunburn blisters usually only ever occur when a person has been severely sunburned. Because of this, several complications can arise in a person who develops blisters due to overexposure to the sun.
What's to know about sun poisoning?
Learn more about sun poisoning, a skin reaction that occurs after someone has been exposed to strong ultraviolet light for too long.
Anyone who experiences these symptoms after being in the sun should seek advice from their doctor, regardless of whether sunburn blisters appear or not.
Sunburn blisters alone have few complications, though an infection may occur if they are picked at or popped. An infection could require medical treatment and will likely lead to scarring.
Because sunburn blisters usually only occur in people with bad sunburn, there is also an increased risk of skin cancer.
Many people with sunburn blisters find that they heal naturally and will disappear by themselves after about a week.
However, if a person is uncertain whether the lumps on their skin are sunburn blisters, they should visit a doctor or a dermatologist who will examine them and make a diagnosis based on the appearance of the lumps. The doctor or dermatologist can then offer possible treatment options and advice.
The doctor will ask questions such as how long they were in the sun and whether they used any sun protection. They will then be able to advise the individual on the best course of action.
Applying lotions that include aloe vera may help to relieve sunburn.
Sunburn that is bad enough to cause blistering may require professional medical treatment.
A doctor may prescribe special burn cream to soothe the skin and help with the healing process and may also apply a dressing to protect the area.
If a person displays any of the associated sun poisoning symptoms, they may need to stay in the hospital to enable doctors to monitor them more closely.
Treating milder cases of sunburn at home is possible. It is essential to get indoors and out of the sun as soon as sunburn occurs.
Cooling skin by having a cold bath or shower, or simply using a cold damp sponge or flannel can help soothe skin and relieve pain and itching.
Applying lotions designed to relieve sunburn, such as those containing aloe vera, can also be helpful by soothing the skin and keeping it moisturized. Aloe vera gel is available for purchase online.
Drinking plenty of hydrating fluids, such as water, will cool the body and prevent dehydration.
Taking painkillers available for purchase over the counter or online, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, to help relieve pain.
Remaining in a cool, shaded room away from direct sunlight.
Covering up all affected areas and ensuring they are not exposed to the sun until the skin has fully healed.
Protecting the skin with a sunscreen that has a high sun protection factor (SPF) is recommended to avoid sunburn.
The easiest way to avoid sunburn blisters is to stay out of the sun. However, this is not always practical or possible.
Avoiding going outside during the times when the sun is at its strongest.
Protecting skin from the sun even on cloudier days will help to ensure it does not burn.
Using a sunscreen that has a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or above and applying this every 2 hours when out in the sun. SPF 30 sunscreen is available for purchase online.
Wearing protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts or T-shirts, sunglasses, and wide-brim hats, will also give added protection.
Applying sunscreen generously, making sure to cover every part of the body.
Buying sunscreen that blocks both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation and has a minimum 4-star rating for UVA protection.
Re-applying sunscreen after entering the water or excessive sweating, even if the label says the product is water-resistant.
A person should also be aware of their skin's sensitivity to the sun. This sensitivity varies from person to person, but typically fairer skinned people are likely to burn more quickly.
Some medicines can increase a person's sensitivity to the sun and therefore the chances of them burning. People should be sure to read the labels of any medications before being in the sun for long periods of time and seek advice from a doctor if unsure.
Sunburn blisters can occur even in cooler, cloudier conditions, and light reflected off snow can also increase the risk of sunburn.
Precancerous spots known as solar keratosis can appear on the skin and will usually be dark, rough, and scaly in appearance.
Premature aging of the skin can occur on skin exposed to lots of sun along with dark sunspots.
Skin cancer is another risk, particularly to those who burn their skin severely enough that sunburn blisters occur.
For many people with sunburn blisters, however, home care treatment options are enough to ensure that they recover well.
As long as sunburn blisters heal, are not picked at or popped, and do not become infected, they should go away and fade with time.

Salvaging Kenya's flower sector starts with curtsying the UK
The message was signed, "From Kenya with love – H E Uhuru Kenyatta."

Desperate times call for desperate measures and with Kenya's flower sector hit hard by covid-19, it is time that the country sought ways to maintain relationships with its key markets.
The first gesture by the Kenya flower sector has been to send some 300 bouquets to the United Kingdom in what was called "solidarity with covid-19 frontline combatants" in a campaign dubbed Flowers For Hope.
Kenya's national carrier Kenya Airways (KQ) flew the consignment on Friday night last week in a move set to keep the flower market open for business when the coronavirus pandemic passes.
The flowers to be distributed to those in the frontline of combating the pandemic including doctors, nurses and recovering patients and care homes were in sleeves inscribed with President Uhuru Kenyatta's goodwill message.
Kenyatta's message read, "There have been a few moments in history when the world has faced a crisis as far-reaching and consequential as this. It is exactly at moments such as this that we must display our humanity, perseverance and hope. Whatever the adversity, no matter the foe, we shall triumph together. We stand united. Tuko Pamoja. From Kenya with love – H E Uhuru Kenyatta."
Death of the dollar, what's in it for Africa

This initiative came from a committee set up by the president which brought together the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA), the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM), KQ and the Kenya Flower Council.
KEPSA Chief Executive Officer Carol Karuga said, "Our member, the Kenya Flower Council, has done this to show empathy and this sends a strong message of partnership at a time when many countries are facing difficulty. It is part of our campaign dubbed 'Flowers of Hope' informed by the realities brought forth by how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting world economies."
The campaign has seen thousands of roses distributed to doctors, nurses and the sick at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Mbagathi, Pumwani Maternity, Mama Lucy Hospital and the Spinal Injury Hospital.
Flowers For Hope campaign is informed by the need to celebrate and support those actively involved and affected by the contagion while helping in saving thousands of jobs in Kenya's flower farms that are on the line as sales of cut flowers in overseas markets plummet to record lows.
The Kenya Flower Council says the dip in sales is now below 35 per cent of what would currently be expected.
Despite the sector being among the hardest hit in Kenya, some flower farms have retained their workers led by Elgon Kenya which has retained its 600 workers. The company has also guaranteed them their income and it is providing food rations to staff to encourage them to stay positive amidst a worrisome situation.
"The rations have been extended to some security officers and Managing Director Bimal Kantaria is calling on all Kenyans with a little to offer to join the generosity train in support to our first-line covid-19 fighters who have a duty and a calling to keep us safe," says Nelson Maina, a manager at Elgon Kenya.
In continental Europe and the UK which is Kenya's biggest flower market, local sales for florists have declined to almost zero as customer spending shifts to essential purchases.
This has led to other companies sending home more than 1,000 seasonal workers from various flower farms in Naivasha. Depending on how long the problem persists, there is a likelihood that most contracts may be terminated altogether.
Africa should look inwards to grow, achieve economic autonomy
Several flower farms have suspended shipping flowers with the Dutch auction recording a 50 per cent drop in exports.
A campaign poster on the elimination of the FCM which causes huge losses to rose growers.
In addition to the covid-19 coronavirus pandemic effects, the sector faces another challenge in the False Codling Moth (FCM). The moth is a pest which is present on more than 70 host plants including roses, citrus, peppers (Capsicum spp.) and maize among others which makes it a challenge to control it.
FCM damages the rose crop and is categorized as a quarantine pest by the European Union (EU).
The Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Services (KEPHIS), the Kenya Flower Council and the Netherlands government, therefore, joined efforts to stop this pest.
Already several rose growers have incurred financial losses due to flower interceptions in the EU which have led to increased checks. These checks affect all Kenyan rose exporters and the sector is adopting an integrated approach to deal with the FCM challenge.
Last year in July, Kenya signed a framework for agriculture cooperation with the Netherlands. The collaboration allows the exchange of knowledge and experiences from both Kenya and the Netherlands which can offer insights on flower production.
As the flower sector in Kenya seeks restoration, a multipronged approach to deal with the challenges facing the sector will come in handy to ensure that it lands on its feet post-coronavirus.

Reverse engineering Ross Douthat
June 28, 2014 John Quiggin17 Comments
Responding to the latest attempt to breathe some life into the zombie of "reform conservatism", Matt Yglesias noted a revealing silence on climate change. As he observed
The thought process that ended with this approach is easy enough to understand. Whether climate change is a massive conspiracy orchestrated by Al Gore, 99 percent of scientists, and a dazzling array of foreign governments or a genuine problem is hotly debated inside the conservative movement. Whether or not fossil-fuel producers should be hampered in their activities by regulatory concern about pollution, by contrast, is not controversial. For smart, up-and-coming conservatives to mention climate change, they would have to pick a side on the controversial issue. Do they sound like rubes by siding with the conspiracy theorists, or do they alienate the rubes by acknowledging the basic facts and the coming up with some other reason to favor inaction?
The optimal choice is not to choose.
I made much the same point a year ago in response to Ramesh Ponnuru's plaintive observation that "To be a good reformer [in liberal eyes] a conservative has to agree that the vast bulk of conservatives are insane."
In this NYT piece, Ross Douthat tries to respond to Yglesias. He ends up both confirming the point regarding climate change and illustrating the true nature of reform conservatism.
Since Douthat can't refute Yglesias' point about the craziness of the Republican base, he doesn't try. Rather, he dismisses the point as "silly" and moves straight to his own apologia for lining up with the crazies. This is rather challenging. As Douthat admits, its not long since Republicans like John McCain were on the sane side of this debate. And it's not as if the recent evidence (that is, the evidence coming from science rather than the rightwing parallel universe) has changed anything.
Still, Douthat tries desperately to claim that, in following his party where it leads, he is merely responding to the changed circumstances of the post-2008 economic slump. Supposedly, a relatively modest slowdown in economic growth means that it is now imperative to do nothing about climate change.
The best way to understand Douthat's piece is by reverse engineering his argument as a constrained minimization problem The objective is to minimize the craziness he needs to embrace, subject to the constraint that he must end up in line with the denialist conspiracy theorists who dominate the base. The best approach is to combine the most inflated estimates of the cost of mitigation, with the rosiest projections of the implications of doing nothing.
This is "reform conservatism" in a nutshell. The Republican party is a coalition of crazies, racists and plutocrats. But there is a political requirement to talk about policy in a way that is not obviously crazy, racist or pro-rich. The task of conservative[^1] intellectuals is to square this circle.
[^1]: Corey Robin would say that this has always been the true function of conservatism. I'm more inclined to believe that a genuinely conservative approach to politics has some potential merit, not realized in actually existing conservatism.
Never saw it coming!
The 100 Years War
17 thoughts on "Reverse engineering Ross Douthat"
The crucial turning point in the flow of what Douthat writes is here:
How can anyone believe that the fate of the earth is a second-order issue? Well, I don't believe that; I do, however, believe that
If there's any point to what he writes after that, it must be that he doesn't believe that the fate of the earth is at stake; but if that's what he means, why doesn't he say so in as many words? The rhetorical flourishes with which he continues may conceal his failure of nerve from himself, but they shouldn't conceal it from anybody else.
Incidentally, I must be coming late to this discussion, but what does 'reform conservative' mean? I can understand 'reformer' as meaning 'somebody who wants to change things'; 'moderate reformer' as somebody who wants to change things but only a bit; 'conservative' as 'somebody who doesn't want to change things'; 'moderate conservative' as 'somebody who doesn't want to change things but is willing to make some concessions'; but I can't understand 'reform conservative' as 'somebody who wants to change things but also doesn't'.
Hermit says:
Climate do-nothings will need to defend their position if public opinion turns against them. Recall Rudd 1st was elected in 2007 in a time of climate concern. As we speak snow from the blizzard to end all blizzards (according to News Corp) is melting fast so resorts need a top up. Based on ocean water temperatures BoM thinks we will start experiencing El Nino conditions from August.
The general warming trend is 0.2C per decade but El Nino could superimpose higher temperatures. As if Sydney's 46.8C last summer wasn't enough. If bushfires ruin lives and heat stressed seniors are carted off in ambulances this summer the public will demand a fix. Not sure if Abbott has a response to this scenario.
"The task of conservative intellectuals is to square this circle." This displays a boringly conservative Euclidean bias. Who cares if light does move in more or less straight lines so that Euclidean geometry is true enough for government work? Relax the assumptions and it's much more fun. Sophists like Douthat can construct one-sided Moebius strips and Klein bottles to their heart's content.
So many words are written and gums flap on about these issues when the science is not contentious. I would find the way this debate goes on, seemingly endlessly, quite hilarious if were not so tragic.
1. Limits to Growth
As opposed to "Room to Grow" the fact is that a finite biosphere has a limit to the number of medium-size mammals (humans) it can support. There will also be a limit to the total infrastructure that can be built. As infrastructure is built, natural sustaining environment is obliterated. It is clear such growth cannot go on indefinitely. LTG and Footprint analysis indicate that the Limits to Growth are very near if not already over-shot.
2. Climate Change.
(a) C + O2 = CO2 (There, that wasn't hard.)
(b) Mining minerals and compounds with C in them and burning them generates more CO2.
(c) The empirical record shows rising CO2 levels since the industrial revolution so we are exceeding the biosphere's capacity to "scrub" CO2.
(d) CO2 is a greenhouse gas. (Because it absorbs and re-emits light in the infra-red band).
(e) Because of (d) more heat is being trapped in the biosphere.
(f) The empirical record now shows warming and more hot days with a high degree of correlation and near certainty that CO2 emissions are the cause.
It's that simple. Anyone who does not understand and openly acknowledge these basic, empirical facts is scientifically illiterate, a denialist or a liar.
Our mendacious elites and our mislead masses need dramatic demonstrations from nature. These events, when they arrive, could be termed "salutary disasters". That is they will be disasters so unambigously attributable to collapse of growth and climate change that humanity will not be able to ignore the lessons being delivered by natural force majeure.
Tim Macknay says:
J-D, Prof Q explains what he means by the term 'reform conservative' in his Crooked Timber piece from last year that he links to in the post. It's roughly 'a self identified Conservative who thinks the movement should have some kind of intellectual coherence, rather than just being a series of irritable mental gestures'.
rog says:
I'm more inclined to believe that a genuinely conservative approach to politics has some potential merit, not realized in actually existing conservatism.
This is Malcolm Frasers posn, that the LNP are not true Libs and that he has maintained his principles whereas the current bunch have moved way off the target.
Mark Lilla posits that we are now in a libertarian age, where black is white and our critical faculties are turning to mush.
@Tim Macknay
That piece begins by referring to people who are 'described as' conservative reformers, which I take as meaning that they are described that way by people other than John Quiggin, whose dissociation from the description is confirmed when the piece goes on to say that the application to the group of the term 'reformers' is misleading.
However it also links to a piece by Ross Douthat which gives me the impression that what is meant by 'conservative reformer' (or 'reform conservative') is 'somebody who belongs to a movement which is, within some larger context, conservative, but who wants to bring about change within the narrower scope of that movement itself', which provides a sufficiently clear answer to my original question.
@rog
Or as Karl Rove put it in 2004 according to a piece by Ron Suskind:
[He] said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore." He continued "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
The "we" refers, I believe, to the much broader 'neo con' movement worldwide – rather than just the US empire.
Its a post truth tribal world dominated by motivated reasoning and confirmation bias -pity mother nature hasnt been told about that .The real world has a way of butting in and ruining things.
Marco Rubio seems to have captured the essence of a reform conservative
The great cause of our time is to reclaim the American Dream for more of our people than ever before.
The reality is the Dream
The real problem in all of this is that the people making the anti Carbon Action claims are too lazy, and perhaps too self interested, to actually do the calculations and risks that they claim to understand.
Douthat uses a hypothetical situation, a family facing an insurance choice, to justify his implied conclusion that no action is the better solution. Within the example he suggests without evidence that there are costs to action, that they are beyond affordability, and that it is all too hard for no actual gain.
Douthat is locked into the pattern of negative thinking that typifies the denialist platform. It is easier to criticise rather than to think through to the actual benefits of change.
When government policy is built upon hyperbole as it is here in Australia the outcome can only be against the public interest. As an example Abbott has invested much time in promising to the public that with the removal of the Carbon Price there will be an automatic saving for households. The fact is that the cost of the Carbon Price for most businesses that it was simply absorbed and no increase to product prices appeared. So naturally when the Carbon Legislation is repealed there will be no change as far as households are concerned. This is going to require an huge amount of bluster from Abbott's front bench to deflect scrutiny and cover up the lie that Abbott's election was built upon.
I find this
"The Republican party is a coalition of crazies, racists and plutocrats"
comment illuminating. How did it get that way? I think that it is the US's obsession with "becoming rich" rather than having a good life that has led that country down that path.
Here in Australia Howard did his best to convert Australia to the "get rich [quick]" theme with his emphasis on property investment and capital growth which coupled with the wave of low cost oil money permanently changed the social landscape. Though this has had less effect at the personal public level than it has had at the political level.
I was just testing this with an employee who tells me that in 1996 she was able to rent a town house for $150 per week and then several years later bought a 2 bedroom home on 900 sq M for $95 thousand, in Sydney's west developer plains. The same property would now be 380 to 450 thousand dollars. Property rentals routinely call for $600 per week requiring two incomes to be affordable.
Australia cope's with this degree of change in various ways. One is through education to 12th year thus reducing the youth unemployment rate, an affordable higher education platform, Australia still has a high degree of "pioneering" economic performance predominately through minerals exploitation, still but only just a reasonable social benefit platform, and Australian's do not have the "get rich' culture down to ground level as America has.
Tony Abbott is determined to change all of that.
I believe carbon tax is supposed to be about $25.40 per tCO2 about now. Recall it started at $23 in July 2012. If the repeal is backdated to 1/7/14 I guess it may never be collected so power bills will have to be adjusted. I'm a bit puzzled why big power users claimed to be slugged by the RET as they should be 90% exempt in 2014 and in any case where hydro is the main power source it was excluded from the RET if built before 1997.
This RET fiddle while minor is a pointer to the porkies and scams that we can expect if we go to an ETS. Pilot schemes in China for example look a bit dodgy and that's the kind of thing we're supposed to link hands with. Much as I dislike hot summers I'd kinda like one this time so the public wants to lynch climate do-nothings.
The political get out runs along the lines of "look I'm no expert and I note that some experts disagree etc but anyway this this policy is economically damaging and will hurt families..old people..children etc"
Collin Street says:

Agency problems.
Management push for measures that make their life better. Increased profit makes their lives better indirectly [because more money potentially going to shareholders means more money they can extract], but reduced regulation makes their lives better directly — less work they have to do — so the management of a firm will pretty reliably lobby for less regulation on that firm's activities even if it makes the business less profitable.
[this is most obvious in labour-law conflict: casualised labour is less efficient in terms of dollars paid, but more efficient in terms of hours worked by HR management, and golly-gee-whillickers guess which one HR management thinks is more important.]
Fran Barlow says:
@Collin Street
Good point. I hadn't considered that, but it makes sense.
For perspective

Old Customhouse, Monterey
The Old Customhouse is a Spanish Colonial style adobe structure built around 1827 by the Mexican government in the Pueblo de Monterey, Alta California, in present-day Monterey County. The former custom house (Aduana in Spanish) is the state's first designated California Historical Landmark, marking the site where U.S. Commodore John Drake Sloat raised the American flag and declared California part of the United States in 1846.
In 1821 New Spain—Mexico won independence from Spain, in the Mexican War of Independence, and for nearly 25 years Monterey was in the Mexican Territory of Alta California. To collect customs duties (tax monies) at the Monterey Bay port, the Mexican government built the Customhouse, making it the oldest government building in present-day California.
The Monterey Customhouse was a landmark that the Native Sons of the Golden West determined should not disappear if within their power to prevent it. The property belonged to the United States Government, but the Native Sons obtained a lease of the buildings and grounds and restored them in the early 1900s. The lease was ultimately transferred to a State Commission appointed under a legislative act passed in 1901, which act also carried an appropriation for further restoration of the building.
The Customhouse became the first California Historical Landmark on June 1, 1932, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960. It is part of the larger Monterey State Historic Park, itself a National Historic Landmark District along with the nearby Larkin House.

Nerves : Neuropathy, radiculo pathy, Plexopathy etc.
Muscles : Myopathy, Spino muscular atropy, poly myositis etc.
Electromyography ( EMG ): In EMG fine needle is put in muscles & we study the muscle action potential which helps us to differentiate whether weakness is due to involvement of muscles or nerves.


I had the pleasure of meeting Michael in Salerno, Italy, in July of 2015 when we both participated in the 100Thousand Poets for Change Conference. Michael joined me, along with Laura Shovan and Debby Kevin, my travel companions, in sharing a gourmet Salerno lunch in a wonderful ristorante.

The students were in the Excellence Program, an Israeli version of an honors program, where they receive full tuition if they keep their GPAs up, and also take additional courses each semester to enrich their learning and prepare them for professional life and graduate study. My course helped them get more comfortable with their English writing and their creativity.
The students had had a few writing assignments at the point in the semester when I introduced a poetry one. They had written to introduce themselves, practiced descriptive writing from observation (non-fiction), and developed a short narrative (fiction). For this assignment, I had them write a poem in response to another poem.
I gave them two different poems to read and respond to, both of which have straight-forward language accessible to English-language learners. The poems involve observation and description, but in very different ways. One tells a story. They share a deceptive simplicity, but that surface simplicity also allows students to access them and to use them as a model for their responses.
One poem I used was William Carlos Williams' "The Red Wheelbarrow," quoted above. It owes much to short Japanese poetry forms and Williams' insistence on the image over ideas. Despite the simplicity of what is, in the end, only one sentence, the poem conveys a mood, and with its opening lines, the sense that something significant waits, an outcome, and that what it depends upon is beyond us—beyond our understanding or control.
In fact, I chose it because it begins with an assignment, and the persona of the poem responds by questioning the assignment (it is not Hughes speaking—the biographical details that come later are made up). The speaker of the poem goes on to ask what is true for him, as he describes his walk from New York University to the cheap housing at the Harlem Y, where he, "the only colored student in my class," lives. He describes what he likes, what he does, and wonders if it is different for him as a "colored" person (the poem was written in the 1950s) than it is for his "white" instructor. He wonders if his paper will be white or colored, and suggests it will be both. He engages both the similarities and differences of the two of them—white instructor and African-American student—and their mutual resistance to be too much like the Other.
I often use this poem when asking students in a course to write a poem, as a way to invite them to use any resistance that they might have to writing a poem, or to writing any assignment, for that matter. I also like that it suggests the fact that students and teachers learn from each other (I think this happens when classes go very well). Finally, the poem shows that we often give assignments without fully knowing or understanding the material- and cultural-realities of our students.
For the assignment, I asked the students to read the poems first, and then to choose one and write their own poem in response. Most, but not all, of the students responded to the shorter poem by Williams. Some responded to Hughes' poem. A couple of the Excellence-Program students wrote two poems, responding to each.
When I respond to students' poems in my courses, especially in the EFL context, I don't focus on issues of correctness in English. I mark spelling and grammar mistakes, of course, but without a written comment in almost all cases. I write comments, though, about poetic suggestions. Often, these poetic suggestions transfer to other forms of writing as well.
The students seemed to enjoy the assignment. Almost all of them took it seriously, from my reading of their poems. Many of them wrote good poems—that could be made better, which I hope my method of commenting helps them to see. And I believe commenting on content and poetics (while still marking errors) focuses on the students' strengths and the potential of their writing. They still learn about their mistakes in the language, but they also see that they wrote something that their instructor took seriously as a draft poem.
For this assignment and others, I choose strong examples to share with the class—both so that other students see good examples, and so that they see (for later, when they respond to each other in small groups) that even good writing could be improved, with the help of thoughtful commentary. I tell them that I revise my own writing all of the time. And, I think most importantly, I emphasize that the writing process is not about how to write perfectly the first time, but about how to perfect writing over time.
Often students tell me that they "can't write" because it is so much work, that they struggle to write what they mean, and that they can't just write it out the first time. I usually turn these narratives of "failure" as writers around and congratulate them on being "good writers" (or "good potential writers")—writers who already realize that writing takes work, that it is a messy struggle, and that even the "best" results often don't quite say what we are trying to say with our writing. I believe that providing students with content comments, alongside modeling for them in class how to use those comments to serve their own purposes, is a process that helps students learn how to negotiate the messiness and arrive at, if not perfect writing, at least writing that they feel comes closer to speaking for them.

The Seventies were only nine days old when Led Zeppelin played the Royal Albert Hall, but it was already clear they could become the biggest band of the decade. A year and a half of relentless touring had turned them into an unbelievably tight unit, and "Whole Lotta Love" was peaking at number four on the U.S. Hot 100.
Less than a year earlier, they'd been performing at London venues like Fishmonger's Hall and Hornsey Wood Tavern, but on June 29th, 1969 they played the Royal Albert Hall alongside the Liverpool Scene and Mick Abraham's Blodywn Pig. When they returned on January 9th, 1970, they came alone and extended their set to nearly two hours. A professional camera crew captured the entire thing.
A week later, the Who resumed their Tommy tour in Paris. Perhaps inspired by the competition, they were the most ferocious shows of their career, as evidenced by Live at Leeds, which they recorded on Valentine's Day.
The incredible Royal Albert Hall footage sat in the vault for decades, but Led Zeppelin unearthed and painstakingly remastered it for their 2003 DVD. It was the highlight of the entire collection.

Worldwide IT spending is projected to total at $3.76 trillion in 2019, an increase of 3.2 per cent from last year, according to research firm Gartner.
The overall IT spending is expected to grow at 2.8 per cent in 2020 to touch $3.87 trillion, Gartner said in its latest forecast.
"Despite uncertainty fuelled by recession rumours, Brexit, trade wars and tariffs, the likely scenario for IT spending in 2019 is growth. However, there are a lot of dynamic changes happening in regard to which segments will be driving growth in the future," said Gartner research vice-president John-David Lovelock.
Spending is moving from saturated segments such as mobile phones, PCs and on-premises data centre infrastructure to cloud services and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, he added.
As digital business and digital business ecosystems move forward, IT will be the thing that binds the business together, he said.
IT services are poised to grow 4.7 per cent in 2019 to $1.03 trillion, and by another 4.8 per cent in 2020 to total $1.07 trillion. Global enterprise software spending is projected to grow 8.5 per cent in 2019 and expand by another 8.2 per cent in 2020 to total $466 billion, according to Gartner.
Despite a slowdown in the mobile phone market, the devices segment is expected to grow 1.6 per cent in 2019 and another 1.4 per cent in 2020 to $689 million, it added.
Communications services are expected to grow 1.3 per cent in 2019 and 1.5 per cent in 2020 to total $1.43 trillion. Data centre systems segment is projected to touch $202 billion by 2020.

Morris Claiborne has started since day one, and just recorded the first interception by a Cowboys defensive back last week.
But he thinks his rookie season could be going much better.
Claiborne missed OTAs and minicamps because of wrist surgery, and part of training camp with a sprained MCL. That set him behind, and he doesn't feel like he's caught up yet, and the game-changing pick didn't make him feel any better.
High expectations are kind of the norm around his place, but Claiborne has played well, and seems to be getting better with each week.
Get used to under performing Morris, you play for Dallas now. The entire teams been doing that for the past 16 years….
His interception total is not far off from his wonderlic score.
They should've drafted Barron. The guy is the game changer they needed.
Claiborne has been great thus far.
When I look at the draft and the trades and picks he made it reminds me of how glad I am the Rams have Jeff Fisher. When it comes to picking the best DB in the draft I would defer to Fisher over Jerry Jones every time.
What school this kid went to means the same to me as his wonderlic score, absolutely nothing.
This guy is a keeper and will only get better and better, year after year.
Claiborne has talent and is going to be good. Having said that, if they leave him to cover Nicks man to man he is going to get lit up. Please dont mistake what happend in game 1 with what will happen on Sunday with a healthy Nicks.
Huh??? Barron??? You obviously don't watch the Cowboys, Morris Claiborne has been amazing this year. A+ draft pick.
Time will tell but I think Claiborne is going to be a good one. So far he has played like a rookie. Some good plays and some bad ones.
He might be good but there are other rookie DB's playing at a higher level.
Hayward in GB has played at a top level this year.
4 INTs and tied for the lead in the league for all DBs.


A great show in Dubai this week, GULF GLASS saw many of Ashton Industrial's existing customers, and a good number of future potentials, visit the stand of regional representative HIET where the Ashton UNIX professional heavy duty arrisser [seamer] was on show.
A big-screen video representation of fully automatic high speed seaming up to Jumbo sizes was a hit, generating new interest. Several such lines are already under construction for the region.
SEAMMAXX-PRO SOLO™ caught the interest of many. This manually loaded but otherwise fully automatic seaming line processes lites up to 2.5 x 5m in 20 to 30 seconds, takes half the footprint of a full high speed line, and is barely more than half the price!
Laser logo marking and on line edge deletion were also featured.
Cutting line output can often be doubled if the edge deletion function is shifted to the seaming line, where deletion and seaming are simultaneous – no cycle time penalty!

Current global status of Foot-and-Mouth Disease
OIE member states' Official FMD status
List of OIE Member Countries officially recognised free from Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) by the OIE.
WRLFMD conjectured FMD status and regional pools
Distribution of the seven endemic pools of Foot-and-Mouth Disease showing conjectured status of FMD in countries during 2015.
About Foot-and-Mouth Disease
Foot-and-Mouth Disease affects domesticated and wild, cloven-footed animals. It was first shown to be caused by a virus (Foot-and-mouth disease virus, FMDV) in 1897.
Foot-and-Mouth Disease occurs in many parts of the world and especially in developing countries and in Africa and Asia. Some countries have been FMD-free for many years. North America, most European countries, Australia, New Zealand and many island states are recognised as being FMD-free. The disease has almost been eradicated in South America and eradication is underway in China and India.OIE map of official FMD status
As Foot-and-mouth disease is a globally distributed disease it is refered to in many different languages. A collection of the different names for the disease in different languages has been made and is available on this site.FMD in different languages
After infection with Foot-and-mouth disease virus, there is an incubation period which usually lasts a few days, but occasionally up to two weeks. Then there is a fever associated with general illness and in cows with a marked decline in milk production. Soon after, blisters appear on the feet and in the mouth. Blistering in the mouth may cause stringy or foamy saliva and drooling, while foot blisters may cause lameness. Blisters rupture to form erosions that heal over a period of weeks. Disease severity varies according to species, breed and pre-existing immunity. Subclinical infection is common in small ruminants.
Myocarditis is possible in young animals and this can be associated with sudden death.
OIE Technical Disease Card for Foot-and-Mouth Disease
Foot-and-Mouth Disease is highly contagious and can be spread from animal to animal by close contact or by aerosols. Transmission can also occur via products including meat and milk from infected animals and through contact with contaminated objects (such as farm equipment, vehicles, clothes and feed).
There is no specific treatment for Foot-and-Mouth Disease but provision of adequate drinking water and prevention of mastitis and fly strike all improve recovery, especially for dairy cattle which can be severely affected by the disease.
Control may be possible by vaccination, animal movement control/quarantine and destruction of infected animals. Biosecurity and disinfection are also important in blocking spread. Vaccination is hampered by the antigenic diversity of the virus, the short-lived nature of protective immunity and the thermal instability of FMD vaccines.
Varieties and occurrence
There are at 7 different varieties (serotypes) of FMDV, named: Serotypes O, A, C, O, Asia 1, SAT 1, SAT 2 and SAT 3. All give rise to a similar disease.
The global distribution of these serotypes is not even:
Serotypes A and O can be found in most FMD endemic regions, with the exception of southern Africa;
The Asia 1 serotype can be found in the FMD endemic regions of Asia;
The African buffalo is the natural host for the Southern African Territoryies (SAT) serotypes. SerotpyesSerotypes SAT 1 and SAT 2 can be found throughout Africa, while SAT 3 is limited to southern and a small area in eastern Africa;
FMDV serotype C has not been detected since 2004 (in Kenya and Brazil), so it is possible that this serotype is no longer circulating.

(click on the map to open a large version in a new window).
Distribution of the seven endemic pools of Foot-and-Mouth Disease showing conjectured status of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in countries during 2015. Virus circulation and evolution within these regional virus pools results in changing priorities for appropriately adapted vaccines. Periodically, viruses spread between pools and to free regions, and countries at the interfaces between pools (such as in North Africa and Central Asia) often experience FMD outbreaks from different regional sources. Note on Pools 4-6: In Africa there are currently three FMD virus pools loosely defined as covering East Africa (pool 4), West Africa (pool 5) and Southern Africa (pool 6). There is some overlap between pools 4 and 5. It has been suggested to extend pool 4 southwards to include Tanzania and to contract pool 6 to exclude that country (© WRLFMD).

REGINA: Some Mexican immigrants to the United States are abandoning the Church in favor of evangelical sects; is this happening in Mexico too?
Matthew Cullinan Hoffman: Sadly, this is a trend throughout Latin America. However, it varies from country to country. In Brazil the number of Evangelicals has risen to about 30%, and many Catholics do not practice the faith. Similarly high rates of conversion to Evangelicalism are found in Central American countries such as Guatemala and Honduras.
Mexico has seen its roughly 98% Catholic population fall to 89%, although most of the conversions are not to Evangelicalism but rather to predatory sects like the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons, who are very active in the country now that the government has relaxed its enforcement of laws prohibiting proselytism by foreign sects – the "missionaries" are virtually all from the U.S. The rest of the 11% that doesn't self-identify as Catholic is atheistic, agnostic, or otherwise non-religious.
The exodus from the Church that has occurred in the last 50 years seems tied to the predominance of liberation theology among the clergy, which has displaced the traditional doctrines that attracted the faithful in years past. This is especially true in Brazil.
Ricardo Lara and Nathaly Robles: Sadly yes, all those sects take advantage of the material needs of people. Here in Mexico, many sects offer money to the people if they invite more people. This sects work mainly in the areas with great poverty and ignorance.
Frank and Irene Denke: The same is happening here. The Church has admitted its failure to teach the faith in past years, and so many Mexicans who now live in the States really have never known their faith well and are "fair game" for those who are trained to present strongly other beliefs against what the Church teaches. Unable to answer them, these Mexicans have no way to keep their faith. They have moved away from a Mexican atmosphere of Catholic "custom", to where one's faith has many "options", and without the depth of understanding and love of the Catholic Faith they need to keep it.
Fr. Jonathan Romanoski: Again it would depend on the state, as Mexico varies much in its culture and identity throughout the very different 32 states that it has, some of them being more vulnerable or attacked by the protestant sects, but in general one could say that they are growing in all places. We have a saying here, "católico ignorante, seguro protestante" (an ignorant Catholic will surely become a protestant).
As we found out in a continental survey some years ago, even in our city of Guadalajara there were so many Catholics who replied that they were fine with God but that they did not need the Church, a mentality which multiplies when there are so many living in fornication or adultery of "second" marriages who would like to ease their conscience pretending that they could be in friendship with Christ without observing his law, which Protestantism makes completely relative.

Die Skabiosen-Langhornmotte (Nemophora metallica) ist ein Schmetterling aus der Familie der Langhornmotten (Adelidae).

Merkmale
Die Vorderflügel schimmern messingfarben und haben keine Zeichnung. Die Flügelspannweite beträgt 15 bis 20 Millimeter. Die Fühler der Weibchen sind 1,5 mal so lang, die der Männchen dreimal so lang wie die Flügellänge.

Lebensweise
Die tagaktiven Falter fliegen von Juni bis August auf blütenreichen Wiesen. Sie besuchen, oft paarweise, fast nur die Futterpflanzen der Raupe, nämlich Skabiosen- (Scabiosa) oder Witwenblumen- (Knautia) Arten. Auf diesen legen die Weibchen die Eier, die Raupen leben anfangs in den Samen oder den Blüten der Pflanzen, später lassen sie sich zum Boden fallen, wo sie einen Raupensack aus verschiedenen Blattteilen bauen, in welchen sie sich zwischen Mai und Juni verpuppen.

Features - What Is Kintsugi?
What Is Kintsugi?
Features - 25 Jul 2018 - Share
Kintsugi, also known as kintsukuroi, is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Directly translating to "golden joinery," as a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to conceal. The thinking behind kintsugi is often likened to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, an embracing of the flawed or imperfect.
Japanese aesthetics value marks of wear, which signify the use of an object. This can be seen as a rationale for keeping an item around even after it has broken and as a justification of kintsugi itself, treating the cracks and repairs as simply an event in the life of an object rather than allowing its service to end at the time of its breakage. The process also relates to the Japanese philosophy of mushin, translating to "no mind," which encompasses the concepts of non-attachment, acceptance of change and fate as aspects of human life.
A post shared by Takehito Kobayashi (@wadcafe)
A specialist in the art and culture of early modern Japan, Timon Screech, Professor of History of Art at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, told Something Curated: "Possibly through Buddhist beliefs, Japanese people have tended to endow routine objects (precisely not high-value ones) with Spiritual presence. Some household items are ritually disposed of, while others stay in the family like old friends, repaired, and all the more loved for it. Actually there's a lot in common with the patching of clothes, as happens in many cultures: the patch enhances it."
The kintsugi technique may have been invented around the fifteenth century, when Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the eighth shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate, after breaking his favourite tea bowl, sent it to China to get it repaired. Unfortunately, at that time the objects were repaired with unsightly and impractical metal ligatures. It seemed that the cup was unrepairable but its owner decided to try to have Japanese craftsmen work on it. They were surprised at the shogun's steadfastness, so they decided to transform the cup into an artwork by filling its cracks with lacquered resin and powdered gold. The legend seems conceivable, since the invention of kintsugi is set in a very fruitful era for art in Japan. Under Yoshimasa's rule the city saw the development of the Higashiyama bunka cultural movement that was heavily influenced by Zen Buddhism and started the tea ceremony, ikebana traditions, and the Noh theatre.
The traditional Japanese art form has had far-reaching influence, inspiring diverse artists and designers internationally. In London, Rose Murray, director of interior design practice TheseWhiteWalls, worked extensively with the kintsugi process to create The Broken Room, a private dining space in Mayfair restaurant HIDE. Murray told Something Curated:
"I was really attracted to the kintsugi practice because more than merely preserving damaged objects which would otherwise be discarded, the process actively celebrates their extant beauty by bonding the breaks with a golden glue, therefore elevating the broken fragments from unusable parts into newly cherished pieces. We visited the ceramicists from Turning Earth studios who were handmaking serveware for the restaurant upstairs, and asked if we could rescue any warped, flawed or misshapen pieces from their yields that would normally be rejected. We then had them lovingly repaired and gilded into glory to form the room's own private crockery collection, now displayed in an uplit distressed oak cabinet that covers the entire rear wall."

She expands, "I became very interested in the related Japanese ethos of wabi-sabi, where the character of things impermanent, handmade and humble becomes treasured, and decided to explore this ethos throughout the whole room, designing the finishes, fixtures and furniture accordingly. The result is that guests now dine within walls lined with handmade cracked gesso papers, and the table is lit by fractured wooden pendants from Ochre hanging overhead. The bespoke table is our centrepiece, made by Craig Narramore from a 400-year old polished chestnut burr with its diseased veins and wells made into features by filling them with golden resin, akin to the golden glue of the kintsugi ceramics beyond."

These 3 teenagers hacked Twitter & performed Bitcoin scam
Authorities have found the culprits for the hacking incident that affected multiple verified Twitter accounts a few weeks ago. According to experts from a cyber security consulting firm, a 22-year-old man and two teenagers have been accused of improperly breaking into the accounts of personalities such as Barak Obama, Elon Musk and Bill Gates with the intention of deploying cryptocurrency fraud.
Authorities say the main perpetrator of the attack is Mason Sheppard, a 19-year-old British man. Also known as "Chaewon", he is accused of committing the attack on the social network, as well as other crimes such as money laundering and electronic fraud in complicity with Graham Clark, 17. The 22-year-old Nima Fazeli, based in Orlando, Florida, has been accused of inciting these crimes, as well as collaborating at some key moments.
"We appreciate the rapid intervention of law enforcement," a Twitter statement on the arrests mentioned. For its part, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) only made the arrests known to the public, so the identities of the defendants are leaks to the press. According to the experts of the cyber security consulting company, a few days ago Clark began by publishing some messages using the compromised profiles; these publications invited users to invest in Bitcoin. Authorities say Clarke got more than $100,000 USD this way.
17-year-old from Florida an alleged "mastermind" behind the Twitter hack that targeted 130 accounts and took over 45 took. That was quick. https://t.co/G9tgXaxSOK
— Michal Špaček (@spazef0rze) July 31, 2020
Tweets asked users to send money to an anonymous Bitcoin address. In return, users would receive $2,000 USD for every $1000 USD sent.
Andrew Warren, Hillsborough State's Attorney, told the press that his office would file charges for 30 felonies against Clark, who is in the custody of the authorities. The prosecutor added that Clark will be tried as an adult. The social network had mentioned that hackers used a vishing scam to gain access to the affected accounts, attacking some Twitter employees: "The attack was based on exploiting multiple human vulnerabilities to gain access to our internal systems," the social network says.
In total, hackers attacked 130 accounts, compromising 45, accessing 36 inboxes and downloading data from 7 other accounts, the cyber security consulting experts mention. A Dutch politician acknowledged being one of the affected users, in addition to the aforementioned celebrities. Authorities believe the attackers pretended to be part of Twitter's support team, or a telecommunications company to complete the attack.
For further reports on vulnerabilities, exploits, malware variants and computer security risks, it is recommended to enter the website of the International Institute of Cyber Security (IICS), as well as the official platforms of technology companies.
