IN THESE GIRLS HOPE IS A MUSCLE
by Madeleine Blais ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 1, 1995
A close-up look at the championship season of a girls' high school basketball team that only the team's members and their families will find compelling. Adolescence is inherently hyperbolic, sportswriting is sometimes not far behind, and Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Blais (The Heart Is an Instrument, 1992) nearly outdistances both as she applies the celebrity biography touch to a subject that is diminished by being so inflated. This is unfortunate, because the Lady Hurricanes of Amherst, Mass., seem a likeable lot who worked hard to capture the 199293 state championship. Co-captains Jamila Wideman (who received several honors, including selection by USA Today as a ``first team all-American'') and Jen Pariseau (who also earned the attention of college sports recruiters) are particularly noteworthy, and each girl makes her own contribution. When Blais discusses actual games, she captures some of the excitement these players must have felt, but she is more interested in the girls as people—even when she cannot make them interesting. Many potentially illuminating anecdotes are related in only a gossipy manner: Jamila starting life in a hospital preemie ward, Sophie King nearly losing a leg to gangrene, and Jen offering her version of ``life's little instructions.'' We hear about not only Coach Ron Moyer but also about his mother. Settling for adoration without insight, Blais asks no questions about the impact of these experiences on the girls' development or their futures; she doesn't ask whether the goal of girls' teams should be to imitate boys' teams, with their unquestioning emphasis on winning, whatever the cost; in short, she ignores the issues that could have made this more than an inflated version of the New York Times Magazine article on which it is based. There might be an insightful book to be written on the subject of girls' basketball, but this isn't it. (First printing of 35,000; author tour)

THE HEART IS AN INSTRUMENT
Doesn't dig as deep as it could, but offers a captivating look at the NBA's greatest era.
WHEN THE GAME WAS OURS
by Larry Bird & Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr. with Jackie MacMullan ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 4, 2009
NBA legends Bird and Johnson, fierce rivals during their playing days, team up on a mutual career retrospective.
With megastars LeBron James and Kobe Bryant and international superstars like China's Yao Ming pushing it to ever-greater heights of popularity today, it's difficult to imagine the NBA in 1979, when financial problems, drug scandals and racial issues threatened to destroy the fledgling league. Fortunately, that year marked the coming of two young saviors—one a flashy, charismatic African-American and the other a cocky, blond, self-described "hick." Arriving fresh off a showdown in the NCAA championship game in which Johnson's Michigan State Spartans defeated Bird's Indiana State Sycamores—still the highest-rated college basketball game ever—the duo changed the course of history not just for the league, but the sport itself. While the pair's on-court accomplishments have been exhaustively chronicled, the narrative hook here is unprecedented insight and commentary from the stars themselves on their unique relationship, a compelling mixture of bitter rivalry and mutual admiration. This snapshot of their respective careers delves with varying degrees of depth into the lives of each man and their on- and off-court achievements, including the historic championship games between Johnson's Lakers and Bird's Celtics, their trailblazing endorsement deals and Johnson's stunning announcement in 1991 that he had tested positive for HIV. Ironically, this nostalgic chronicle about the two men who, along with Michael Jordan, turned more fans onto NBA basketball than any other players, will likely appeal primarily to a narrow cross-section of readers: Bird/Magic fans and hardcore hoop-heads.

BACK FROM THE DEAD
by Bill Walton ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 8, 2016
A basketball legend reflects on his life in the game and a life lived in the "nightmare of endlessly repetitive and constant pain, agony, and guilt."
Walton (Nothing but Net, 1994, etc.) begins this memoir on the floor—literally: "I have been living on the floor for most of the last two and a half years, unable to move." In 2008, he suffered a catastrophic spinal collapse. "My spine will no longer hold me," he writes. Thirty-seven orthopedic injuries, stemming from the fact that he had malformed feet, led to an endless string of stress fractures. As he notes, Walton is "the most injured athlete in the history of sports." Over the years, he had ground his lower extremities "down to dust." Walton's memoir is two interwoven stories. The first is about his lifelong love of basketball, the second, his lifelong battle with injuries and pain. He had his first operation when he was 14, for a knee hurt in a basketball game. As he chronicles his distinguished career in the game, from high school to college to the NBA, he punctuates that story with a parallel one that chronicles at each juncture the injuries he suffered and overcame until he could no longer play, eventually turning to a successful broadcasting career (which helped his stuttering problem). Thanks to successful experimental spinal fusion surgery, he's now pain-free. And then there's the music he loves, especially the Grateful Dead's; it accompanies both stories like a soundtrack playing off in the distance. Walton tends to get long-winded at times, but that won't be news to anyone who watches his broadcasts, and those who have been afflicted with lifelong injuries will find the book uplifting and inspirational. Basketball fans will relish Walton's acumen and insights into the game as well as his stories about players, coaches (especially John Wooden), and games, all told in Walton's fervent, witty style.

Obie award-winning playwright Ain Gordon's Center-funded play 217 Boxes of Dr. Henry Anonymous—created during a two-year residency with the Historical Society of Pennsylvania—travels to Baryshnikov Arts Center. Presented in conjunction with the 2018 Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association, the work profiles Dr. John Fryer, known as "Dr. Anonymous," one of the pioneers of the LGBT rights movement.
Gordon's work incorporates archival material from 217 boxes of the Historical Society's Fryer collection to draw a portrait of the man behind the mask. Nightly artist talkbacks follow each performance. See the full schedule here.
Through An Artist Embedded in History, Gordon "embedded" himself in the Historical Society's daily functions, in order to reflect on the processes of how history is documented and preserved. Together, Gordon and Historical Society staff explored, via a series of public events with visiting artists and scholars, how historical events are related to contemporary social issues in the US.

Mid May I went to Las Vegas for my friend Jess's bachelorette party. The main things on our to do list were to see Britney Spears and hang out at a day pool party. Picking out outfits for events like this can be tough, and I feel like Vegas has a stereotypical "vegas" outfit that everyone thinks of. I on the other hand, like to think that any cute outfit is acceptable for vegas, and it does not have to be skin tight and stiletto heels don't need to be involved (unless you want them to be). As you know, I love versatile clothes, so I incorporated this idea into my attire for the weekend.
I love matching sets, I love Show Me Your Mumu, and I love a cute bathing suit! So when I saw this print was on sale a few months ago, I bought it knowing I'd need a new suit for Vegas. We stayed at the Cosmopolitan, and I highly recommend this hotel. It's clean, beautiful, and they have really nice pools.
For Britney Spears, I wore a cut out romper from Show Me Your Mumu that I got on Poshmark. I love that it shows some skin, but because of it's flowy shorts and fun print, it has that boho vibe. And it can totally be worn again as a casual day time outfit. I don't do heels, so I opted for my Steve Madden platforms that are super comfy. I was able to wear them all night long and my feet didn't hurt. To dress the outfit up a little bit, I wore a Free People collar necklace.
I've been searching for a cute one piece bathing suit that showed off enough skin, and I wanted an open back and deep v. I found this one on Asos and I love the style of it. It's even cheeky too which is a must! Asos offers free returns, so their is no risk when buying a suit from them because if it doesn't fit, you can easily return it. I also got these new Quay Australia sunglasses from Poshmark to wear to vegas.
On our last night in Vegas, Jess wanted to do a sequin night. Obviously I was SO down because I love sequins. I borrowed this maxi skirt from my friend and added a black Forever 21 tshirt that I knotted, a lacey bralette and layered necklaces for extra sparkle.

Man, 30, charged after police officer suffers serious burns during eviction in Newquay
12 September 2020, 12:01 pm ·1-min read

Blagovest Hadjigueorguiev, 30, appeared at Truro Magistrates' Court accused of three offences - arson with intent to endanger life, causing grievous bodily harm with intent against a police officer, and attempting to cause grievous bodily harm against a second officer.

The officer, who is 51 but has not been named, sustained a "number of burns to his arms and legs" during an incident in Trevenson Road, Newquay on Friday morning, Devon and Cornwall Police said.

He was one of a number called to help with a man behaving aggressively towards bailiffs carrying out an eviction on a stretch of private land there, the court heard.

The man was arrested and the officer, who is well known in the town and a former soldier, was airlifted to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Treliske.

He was later transferred to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, where he remains in a stable condition with injuries described as severe but not life-threatening.

Chief Supt Drummond-Smith said the officer was "sat up and in good spirits" with his family by his bedside on Saturday.

Hadjigueorguiev is also charged with attempting to cause grievous bodily harm against a second officer, who was uninjured.

He did not enter a plea in court and was remanded in custody to next appear before Truro Crown Court on 13 October, Chief Supt Drummond-Smith said.

If you are unable to umpire/Standby as per the roster you need to organise your own substitute.
If there are any changes to the roster, please notify your coach/manager and Michelle at umpires@peninsulanetball.org.au by the Wednesday before the game, so that Michelle can pass this information to MWNA.
Checkin at Umpires' Control (inside, upstairs at Curl Curl) at least 20 minutes before the game is due to commence. Make sure you allow plenty of time for parking. Not being able to find a parking spot will not be accepted as an excuse for failure to check in on time.
Know the court and the grade of the game you have been rostered to umpire when you check in.
If you are rostered on Standby, you still need to check in at Umpires' Control. You will need to stay upstairs for almost the whole game, just in case you are needed.
When you check in at Umpires' Control (whether for a game or for Standby), you need to be appropriately dressed and ready to umpire. Appropriately dressed means in you are in your Club uniform or dressed in white, with suitable netball footwear and you have your whistle.
What if I don't check in, or I am late to check in?
If you do not check in or you are late to check in to umpire or for Standby, you will be issued two 'Penalty Umpirings'. Both of these 'Penalty Umpirings' must be completed within 3 playing days. For example, if you receive two 'Penalty Umpirings' on Game 2, you have until Game 5 to complete them both. If both 'Penalty Umpirings' are not completed within the 3 playing days, a fine and loss of competition points will apply.
For each Saturday game during the normal netball season, MWNA (Manly Warringah Netball Association) allocates a neutral team to umpire each game of 10 year olds and over. MWNA also allocates are number of 'Standby' umpires at each time slot. Standby umpires are ready to umpire at Curl Curl, just in case an umpire does not check in on time or is injured during the game.
Peninsula Netball then allocates two umpires (by name) from the team allocated by MWNA to cover that game or be on Standby duty. Some weeks, Peninsula is allocated more than 15 games and Standbys to cover for umpiring — that's more than 30 umpires in a week!
Generally 12 year olds are allocated to umpire 10 year olds, 13 year olds are allocated to umpire 11 year olds, 14 year olds are allocated to umpire 12 year olds, etc. Junior umpires are generally at least two years older than the teams they are umpiring.

Let Us Sing Together
See the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZbA6nMqV1g
The second night in Bombadil's house, Frodo dreams of a song that "seemed to come like a pale light behind a grey rain-curtain, and growing stronger to turn the veil all to glass and silver, until at last it was rolled back, and a far green country opened before him under a swift sunrise."
This is a rendition of the LOTRO soundtrack song, "Let Us Sing Together" recently arranged, performed & recorded by members of the band FATHOM.
"For me, Let us Sing Together, really captured the feeling of the game, and in fact an essence of Lord of the Rings itself. It so reminds me of the rolling hills of the Shire, and the pure joy that Tom Bombadil seems to possess in the face of great evil. From the moment I heard the song I was inspired, and further on to record a rendition of the song at some point. We hope to create original music in this vein. This is our gift to Lord of the Rings, and LOTRO fans. We hope it brings you at least a faint glimmer of the joy of Bombadil's house" - John from Fathom is the lead singer/songwriter of the band, and also a fan and player of LOTRO.
This song is dedicated to the LOTRO community and TURBINE; thank you for a great community and translating legendary art into a wondrous game.

Are YOU intentionally creating a TED in your head?
One of the key points that I've picked up from The Innovator's DNA — a book that I've been talking about for months (see here, here and here) — is that the most innovative thinkers are those who can think across domains.
When we work systematically to explore thinking that occurs OUTSIDE of our field, we can often find ways to transform the work that we are doing INSIDE of our own organizations.
So how exactly does one come into contact with thinking beyond their own worlds?
For many cutting edge business professionals, regular interactions with innovators outside of their own fields happen at conferences like TED, which was intentionally established as a forum where thought leaders in technology, entertainment and design could have sustained intellectual collisions with talented peers in adjacent professions.
Dyer, Gregersen and Christensen explain the power of Ted like this:
TED's underlying beauty springs from the intentional diversity of participants and presentations. This diversity forms the foundation for innovators to potentially connect the unconnected. Innovators in our research not only frequented places like TED, but literally constructed a TED in their heads through an intentional depth and diversity of life experience, creating a personal Medici effect. (p. 47)
"Constructing a TED in their heads" is a cool phrase, isn't it?
It is an approachable reminder that when we are building our own learning networks using social tools like blogs, Twitter and Facebook, we need to intentionally reach beyond the thinking of leading educators.
The question that people constantly ask, however, is:
"So who should/could/would we follow if we wanted to introduce meaningful intellectual diversity into our own learning networks, Bill?
It's not that we're opposed to the idea of adding new thinkers to our information streams. We just don't know where to find them!"
While that's a tough question to answer — the kinds of thinkers who will challenge individual educators is largely dependent on the specific fields that teachers are interested in and/or responsible for — here are three non-educators that I learn a ton from.
(blog, Twitterstream)
When I first stumbled across this stream, I almost skipped it because I thought it had something to do with the Occupy Wall Street protests that are all over the news. It's not, though — and I'm glad that I took the time to figure that out!
The 99 Percent is the blog and Twitterstream of Scott Belsky, founder and CEO of Behance and author of Making Ideas Happen. His central arguments are simple ones: (1). good ideas are useless if you can't implement them and (2). productive, creative teams are the best at moving good ideas forward.
The 99 Percent blog and Twitterstream are literally FULL of examples of innovation in action. I learn tons about collaboration, experimentation and progress from the stories shared here — and anytime I can learn more about collaboration, experimentation and progress, my ability to drive change on my learning teams and in my school is enhanced.
Amber Mac
Whether conservative educators like it or not, social media spaces like Twitter and Facebook are changing almost everything about life in today's world.
We interact with friends and family differently than we did 20 years ago. We interact with businesses and organizations differently than we did 20 years ago. And perhaps most importantly for schools, we LEARN differently than we did 20 years ago.
That means if we are ever going to successfully transform schools, we are going to need to figure out how those same social media spaces can play a role in our work with students. Choosing to just ignore Twitter and Facebook is a careless and arrogant choice that only serves to make us more irrelevant than we've already become.
Understanding social media spaces can be intimidating, though — especially for people who grew up thinking that the park or church or Cub Scout meetings were the only social spaces that mattered.
That's where Amber Mac comes in.
The author of Power Friending, Mac helps businesses to understand how to leverage social media spaces for growth. Her writing is direct and approachable — and the examples that she shares can translate nicely to the work that we do in classrooms and in schools.
Every Saturday morning, I sit down for about 2 hours worth of reading. As I poke through the collection of blogs that I'm following in my Google Reader, I find myself constantly drawn to the content on the Fast Company website.
With a focus on technology, innovation, leadership and design in the business world, Fast Company shares content that crosses a ton of domains that are important to educators.
Knowing that schools need to sell themselves in today's tight economy, I find myself especially drawn to the branding articles on Fast Company's site. The tips and tricks that I pick up there can be applied to the work that schools do when reaching out to their communities.
I'm also drawn to the leadership content on Fast Company's site simply because I know just how essential effective leadership is to driving real change in schools.
Any of this make sense to you?
Essentially, what I've done is sought out sources that regularly introduce me to the role that concepts I care about — driving tangible change, using social media spaces to communicate and connect, building a brand that can be embraced by stakeholders and leading in complex organizations — play in fields BEYOND education.
The 99 Percent, Amber Mac and Fast Company's content help me to find ways to connect the unconnected and to bring new, fresh and innovative thinking into my information stream. They are a crucial part of my very own "Ted in the Head."
So what non-educators are you following?
More importantly, how have they changed your learning?

Dubai Implements Measures Against Abandoned Vehicles
Dubai Municipality has announced a new system to help remove abandoned vehicles from Dubai roads and make the city look cleaner. The organization has announced that abandoned vehicles for a long duration will soon get a warning from the municipality before their vehicle is removed. An SMS alert system will notify the owners of the abandoned vehicle that they should either remove or clean their vehicle before its impounded. The new system is part of the municipality's efforts to "maintain city cleanliness."
Maintaining city cleanliness, the #DubaiMunicipality will change procedures of unwanted vehicles, to facilitate notifying the owners of removing their abandoned vehicles, to preserve the beauty of the city, reserve and respect the residents' rights to park. pic.twitter.com/gYWMZcL4wD
— بلدية دبي | Dubai Municipality (@DMunicipality) January 13, 2020
The Dubai Municipality said in a post on twitter, "Dubai Municipality will change procedures of unwanted vehicles, to facilitate notifying the owners of removing their abandoned vehicles, to preserve the beauty of the city, reserve and respect the residents' rights to park". Car owners will receive an SMS giving them a deadline by which they should move their car. If they fail to move the vehicle before the deadline mentioned in the SMS, the municipality will impound the vehicle.
In 2019, the Dubai Municipality implemented a campaign called, "My Vehicle" will warned owners of their vehicle being towed to a scrapyard to prevent the "distortion of the general appearance of the city". As part of the scheme, stickers were placed on offending vehicles for 15 days before they were towed away. If the owner of the impounded vehicle failed to come forward after six months, the vehicle would then be sold off at an auction.
Commenting on the new campaign, Abdulmajeed Saifaie, director of the waste management department at Dubai Municipality said that the aim of the campaign was to raise the level of community awareness on the damages done by neglected vehicles. He said that it was also being implemented with the goal of promoting the values of social responsibility in maintaining the sustainability of the public appearance and beauty of public utilities.

'I will prove my innocence' – R. Kelly insists he's not guilty in Facebook post shared after he was found guilty on all counts in sex trafficking trial
Robert Sylvester Kelly, better known as R. Kelly, has insisted he's not guilty after he was found guilty in sex trafficking trial. The singer was found guilty of exploiting his superstar status to run a scheme to sexually abuse women and children over two decades. Eleven accusers, consisting of nine women and two men, took the stand over the six-week trial to describe sexual humiliation and violence at his hands. After two days of deliberation, the jury found Kelly guilty on all the charges he was facing. Sentencing is due on 4 May and he could spend the rest of his life behind bars. The singer took to Facebook after he was found guilty to release a statement. He wrote: "To all my fans and supporters I love you all and thank you for all the support. Today's verdict was disappointing and I will continue to prove my innocence and fight for my freedom. #notguilty." The post 'I will prove my innocence' – R. Kelly insists he's not guilty in Facebook post shared after he was found guilty on all counts in sex trafficking trial appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Just for your information, we have five kitties and they all love your scratching pad! With five indoor kitties (ages 2 years to 6 years), they have given our furniture a run for its money, but when we got your scratching pad that changed. Mind you, these are cats so the furniture still gets a work out from time to time, but most of the time they dane to use the scratching pad. Of course a little catnip sprinkled around helps, but they do love the pad. We have just ordered a couple of replacement cardboard fillers for the pad because they love it sooooooooo much that they have schreded it to little pieces. Please keep up the good work as our kitties (Enny, Mo, Nammy, Miss Kitty and Fang) are just waiting to get their claws on the new pads. Thanks again for your wonderful.. or should we say PURRRRRRFECT product. - Tom & Diane D.
I've attached a picture of Boris (Siberian) and Newman (Ragdoll). Newman is officially named Cool Hand Luke but we call him Newman as in Paul due to his beautiful blue eyes. I'll get a picture of them using the scratching post and send to you. You may use what I said on your website. The only comment I would add is that the price of this scratching post caused me to hesitate a little but it has proven to me that you get what you pay for. Over my lifetime, I have probably spent over $300 on various products that promised to help with the scratching with little or no success. Since your product had a money back guarentee, I decided to give it a whirl. Buying lesser quality items is penny wise and dollar foolish. I am placing the order for my second post as soon as I finish writing this email. Thanks! - Towana M.
My cat ABSOLUTELY LOVES her new scratching post! She is just attacking it--wild kitty from he**! I am so happy with my purchase! Thank you for a wonderful product! - Laura C.
I just recently purchased the Purrfect Post and the Purrfect Angle for my two cats. I was shocked by how much they immediately took to enjoying both items! I am trying to train my cats to scratch appropriately (I believe de-clawing is inhumane). I was skeptical at first because neither cat showed much interest in their first scratch post of carpet and sisal rope, but my furniture could not take any more abuse. Imagine my delight when both cats began scratching the Post and Angle before I even had them assembled! When I woke up the next morning, both cats were still scratching the Post and Angle with no incentive needed. As an added bonus, both items are aesthetically pleasing and I don't mind having them out in plain sight. Thank you so much for these products. This allows my cats to keep the claws and my furniture to keep their fabric :) - Lisa B.
I rescue/foster kitties and have several furniture scratchers in the crowd. I ordered one post a some months ago and another a week or so ago. Even my most devoted furniture scratcher uses the purrfect post. I've had no scratching on furniture since I set up the first post. I can tell easily because I have new furniture in the family room and the only concession made for the cats was to get micro fiber covered furniture which is similar to a velour/velvet fabric that they seem not to like for scratching. An example of this phenomena is two chairs in the living room, one textured and one velour, in fifteen years they never scratched the velour chair but destroyed the other textured chair. The family room sofa and loveseat were both textured. Getting the camera set to take pictures as they scratch probably won't happen but I wanted you to know my experience with the purrfect post. Best posts ever!!!! Thanks So Much. - Melissa B.
You may think to yourself that this scratching post is expensive, but it is well worth the money! When I brought it home one of my kittens leaped on to it the minute I put it together. I placed it next to the only wall that they scratched and they never scratched another thing in our house, except for their new post! Ida loves to sit on top of it after she scratches on it. The quality is excellence. I highly recommend it. Iv'e been very happy with everything about it. New Haven, CT.

Holy chit! This series was ridiculously outside the box and weird and badass all at the same time.
I kinda just stumbled onto this when I was looking to buy something on ebay, it was in the related section.
What stood out to me was the name. The words serial and experiments caught my attention and from there, I immediately went to youtube to see if it was available, it was.
I watched the first four episodes, and although it was a little strange at first and raised so many questions, it had something in it that kept me hooked. Luckily, from episode five forward, the show starts to make more sense and some of the questions start getting answered, and that's when I was like, "yeah, this is awesome".
I finished watching the last seven episodes in a row last night and I just want to say, Wow! This series was ahead of it's time for sure.
This is a 13 episode series, and only the first two eps are dubbed, it's all subtitles after that, but well worth the reading. I was actually about halfway into the third episode before I even realized that the english was gone. Lolz.
I don't even know how to describe this show. Computers, alternate reality, god. That's all I got.
If you haven't seen this, I highly recommend it, and if you have seen it, what are your thoughts?
I watched this a little while back and it was very confusing but I some what understood it by the end. I liked it but some people I've recommended it to have said it was a too slow and boring.
It starts a little slow I'll admit, but it's far from boring. It's not for everybody I guess, we all have different tastes.
What has two thumbs and thinks this show was entertaining, This Guy!
It one of the series that have a high rewatch value, as there is a lot to miss on the first or second watch and the show pretty open to interpret. I've seen people interpreting from a religious POV, from different philosophical angles, or as a critque/praise of internet and technology. I can understand when people say that its boring, since not a lot seems to happen, however, I think there definitly is a lot going on in all eps. But not everyone has to like it, and its not a show for everyone which is fine, and different people like/dislike it for different reasons... One thing i like that not many series have is the tone and the mood - SEL gives this feeling of creeping alienation which I haven't had in another anime yet.
I have heard the name pop up a few times in my searches for new series lately though admittedly I have yet to check it out. Though I'd say this review of it is more then enough motivation to hop on it, and make it a priority for my watch list.
Let us know what you think. I hope you like it.
Well if you like this style of anime you may like Paranoia Agent which I watched recently. I'm not very good at describing anime so I'm sure you could read about it on MAL or something.
Thanks. I'm in the middle of Ergo Proxy right now, but when I finish that , I'll check out PA.
Also, if you like SEL and/or Ergo Proxy I'd also recommend Texhnolyze, which is criminally underrated, has some similar themes to SEL and gives you similar vibes, yet is different and unique enough. And you'll probably also enjoy Perfect Blue, a movie by the same director who made Paranoia Agent, if you liked these anime.
Nice, I also liked ergo proxy hope you enjoy it.
That is something I plan to watch soon.
One of my favorite anime's overall, I absolutely love Serial Experiments Lain. It's got a great atmosphere, great music and the story isn't told in a conventional manner and people are still dissecting the story to this day. It felt like David Lynch decided to make an anime - it's a strange show that likes to get in your head and mess with you. That's why I love it.
How old were you when you first saw it?
I'm not pretending to know you, but I wouldn't imagine a fourteen year old would be able to understand that show. And even if one could understand it at that age, I don't think you'd be able to truly appreciate the message(s) that are explored throughout.
Or maybe, you were a genius at fourteen, and just plain didn't like it. That too is an option.
I think this is just one of those series where you need to watch it more then once to fully understand it. Although I only watched it once, I watched some videos explaining it.
I was just too young for it.
I've seen this way back, heck, right around the time I saw Haibane Renme and Texhnolyze. Yoshitoshi Abe and his colleague (I believe) are behind those series and more. They all have that dark messed up concept to which relate to the ugly truths of humanity. I mean there's a lot more, but that's the huge concept of those animes. Now, Lain was not my favorite of the bunch. Like I loved the OP song, 'Duvet'...if I recall. But, I felt like it was as most stated, slow. Not only that, I could have been because I was too young to understand. Yet, I did understand the others better. I can't fully recall how this series goes. My p.o.v. might change.
It was strange for sure, but I really liked it. It has a very "timeless" feel to it, like if it was to be released today, it would still make as much sense in today's society as it did twenty years ago. That opening song is pretty good too. The guitar notes at the end are nice.
I can agree with that statement. Even if Serial Experiments Lain was not a favorite of mine; it still had an impacting storyline that remains timeless. I'm starting to recall a bit on a particular reason on why I didn't like it so much. That was the way it transitioned with the random (yet meaningful) scenes and cuts to the next scene. To me back then it felt too random. Like the show was slow, yet had those random subliminal messages. Sorry if I'm rambling so much. Just recalling bits and pieces here.
No need to apologize, rambling makes for some good reading, for me anyways. I'm much more of a listener than a talker.
I like to say the same of myself. But I do have my passionate moments of talking.
SEL is more .... abstract? ... than HR and Tex. While all three have metaphors, similes and hidden meaning, SEL just takes it a different level where objects and people and actions can mean a lot of things. I think its because of this that people think HR and Tex. are easier to understand and more approachable. All three still have discussions going on about what means what but SEL is the one with the most and most diverse theories, (from more pragmatic ones, to philosophical and even religious ones) I think.
I love how everything I typed originally was erased by a coding malfunction.
Like I stated, all three shows had that ugly truth of the world in common. But SEL was agreeably abstract, just not the type of anime I was into at that age. I'm sure if I were to re-watch this show (which I plan to in the future) I would like it a lot more.
That is how our world works. There will always be an opposing party to your ideas/opinions/thought/etc.
Word. But at the same time, if everyone agreed on everything, we'd be like the above ground people on Texhnolyze, and that doesn't look fun.

From the CEO and President of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) comes the ultimate book on transforming the way we select, retain and train our employees in a radically changed business environment.
With the growth of remote work and an increased focus on diversity and inclusion, companies are increasingly finding themselves in "wars for talent" as they source and recruit candidates from all over the world. They need to find new ways to contact people and new sources of talent. They need to create an enduring and tangible culture that helps everyone feel empowered to do their best work. And they need to develop inclusive organizations that leverage differences for growth and innovation.
Informed by more than 70 years of experience and expertise and propelled by extensive original SHRM research, Reset delivers a candid and forward-thinking vision for leaders to reimagine their company cultures in a time of global upheaval.
Part call to action, part strategic roadmap, Reset challenges business leaders' underlying assumptions about workers and the workplace, delivers practical strategies for finding and keeping the talent needed to make businesses successful, and introduces dynamic tools to sustain that success over the long haul. Now is the time for leaders to completely reimagine, reorganize, and Reset their operations to create a more daring, resilient and sustainable future. This is the book that will guide them exactly when they most need it.

Q: NoSQL databases in offline mode and forward compatibility After doing some research, it seems that when people ask about schema migration in CouchDB, they get quickly rebutted that the concept is not exactly compatible with NoSQL ideology. I understand how NoSQL is meant to be schema-less and it feels counter-intuitive. Nevertheless, I am in such a situation that I do not see how schema migration can be totally avoided. I use NoSQL with mobile devices. Here's the big lines of my set-up and my needs.

*

*Each mobile device has its own replicated database.

*The mobile device can work offline.

*Mobile devices replicates with a database on the cloud server to share their data.

*The data replicates when possible so multiple users on different devices can work on the same data.

*A newer version of the client could decide to change the value type it stores for a particular key (i.e. the equivalent of a schema change)

*The users might not update the app as soon as an update is available.

*A user that is not updated should be able to still work on the same data as the users who are updated.

Edit:

*

*The application is 100% native code.

My problem here is that a user with a client that is an old version of the software would not expect the new data to be a string instead of an int per se. Thus, handling it client-side can not always be done since we do not want to force the users to update their apps.
To explain it under another angle what happens is that I want two users with two different client versions to be able to share and modify the same data, meaning that I need to have backward and forward compatibility. Backward compatibility is often tackled, but forward compatibility is a bit more problematic. I need a way to continue to use my last-modified heuristic for conflict resolution while having a version that can not interpret the new schema fully.
After some thinking, I could consider an approach where I should split the cloud database into multiple sources; one where every mobile device pushes its modifications and one-to-x databases where the mobile devices pull the most recent data adapted to their versions. Somewhere in between those I should handle backward and forward compatibility with schema migrations.
Is there a way to avoid schema migrations, even in such a set-up?
Do anyone see any other simpler or safer solutions?
What are the limitations of such a system?
I do not feel that I am exactly on the right track here.
Thanks,
Paul

A: If CouchApps are an option for you, then you could actually circumvent the problem of different client versions. Just in case you are not familiar with these: CouchApps are HTML+CSS+JavaScript based apps which are served directly out of CouchDB. On a mobile platform it might come in handy to embed them in Cordova (Phonegap) for access to native functions.
As CouchApps are essentially stored in design documents in a CouchDB database, they can be replicated in the same way as ordinary documents can be replicated. That gives you the option to perform an update of the client software whenever the client is connected to the server (actually it would happen automatically on any replication).
In case you want to spend a thought on this option, you might want to have a look at garden20, Mobile Futon, kanso and erica.

Lawmakers demand investigation into child-on-child sex crimes on military bases

Congressional members are asking the Defense and Justice departments to find solutions for alleged sexual abuse among children on U.S. military bases.
An Associated Press investigation found that reports of child-on-child sexual violence are often shelved by criminal investigators or go unprosecuted, even if an attacker confesses. Often, neither the victim nor offender receive counseling or other assistance, the investigation found.
The House Armed Services Committee is examining the issue in response to the AP investigation, reports said. Additionally, four senators have sent letters to the Pentagon and Justice Department.
Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) said it is "a national disgrace and a military scandal" that nearly 600 allegations of sexual assault among children have allegedly taken place on military bases since 2007.
Tens of thousands of children living on U.S. bases are not covered by military law. The Justice Department, which handles civilian crimes on many bases, "isn't equipped or inclined" to take on juvenile cases, the investigation found.
"You cannot have an environment in which children aren't protected, regardless of whether they're on a base or in a public school classroom. So we've got to change the law," Speier told AP in an interview.
What else are people saying?
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said that the AP report shows "an inscrutable system that fails these children at every level."
Also, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), who lead the Senate Armed Services Committee, wrote a letter to U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis, requesting a "comprehensive review" of sexual assault policies regarding military children in schools and elsewhere on bases, the AP reported.
"It disturbs us to learn that the department's policies and procedures may prevent efforts to help child victims of misconduct ... and to rehabilitate and hold child offenders accountable," their letter stated.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) wrote to the Justice Department's inspector general to request an investigation into how many child sex assault cases have been prosecuted and why the majority have been declined, the AP reported.
"Alleged conversations between Secretary Mattis and other officials are private and will remain as such," Maj. Dave Eastburn told AP in an email.
Records initially released by the military showed only one-third of the cases the AP identified through interviews with prosecutors, military investigators, family members, and whistleblowers, according to the report.
The report explained how the problem extends beyond the U.S.:
This legal and bureaucratic netherworld also extends to the Pentagon's worldwide network of schools, which afford students fewer protections than public schools if they are sexually attacked by a classmate on campus. The federal law that offers help to victims of student-on-student sexual assault, known as Title IX, does not apply to federal education programs, such as those run by the military.

Q: Inhomogeneous Linear Recurrence relation for Merge Sort confusion on Question: $T(n) = 2T(n/2) + n$   ==> Note our result will be $\Theta$(nlog(n))
The very first step you should take is putting everything in the form $T(n)=b^np^n$ so
$T(n) - 2T(n/2) = n$
Because this is an inhomogenous relation, we want to turn it into a solvable homogenous problem.

Note we can treat n as 2^k becasue of the bn property.
So now we have $T(2^k) - 2T({2^k}/2) = 2^k$

Next, we multiple both sides by 2 to get the k+1 condition,
so $2T(2^k)-4T(2^{k-1}) = 2^{k+1}$

Then we can have a duplicate of the above term, except write it in terms of k+1 so  $T(2^{k+1})-2(T^k)= 2^{k+1} $
And then subtract the two terms
$T(2^{k+1})-2(T^k)= 2^{k+1}  -  2T(2^k)-4T(2^{k-1}) = 2^{k+1}$
to get: $T(2^{k+1})-4T(2^k)-4T(2^{k-1}) = 0$

Next we can rewrite $T(2^k)$ as $X^p$
so,
$X^{p+1} -4X^P -4X^{p-1} = 0$
...
So on $(X^{p-1})(X^2-4X-4)= 0$  //Ignore the first part//
so, $X^2-4X-4=0$ and our roots become x=2,2

Because the roots are not distinct, we use
the formula,
$\sum c_ir^{p}p^{i-1}$

which brings us to $(2)^p + 2^{p}*(p)$
which $p = 2^k$
and $2^k = n$
and so $2^{2^k}+2^{2^k}(2^k)$
which should be $2^{n}+2^{n}*n$ ...
But my professor treats
$\sum c_ir^{p}p^{i-1}$ the
$p^{i-1}$ as a separate value of just K not $2^k$ in which then K = log(n) ... why is this?

A: Considering for $n \in \mathbb{N}_{>0}$
$$
T(2^{\log_2 n}) = 2T(2^{\log_2(\frac n2)})+n
$$
calling now $T'(u) = T(2^u)$ we have
$$
T'(\log_2 n) = 2T'(\log_2 n - 1) + n
$$
and calling now $u = \log_2 n$ we have
$$
T'(u) = 2T'(u-1)+2^u
$$
which is a linear recurrence with solution given by
$$
T'(u) = T'_h(u) + T'_p(u)\\
T'_h(u) = 2T'_h(u-1)\\
T'_p(u) = 2T'_p(u-1)+2^u
$$
so we have
$$
T'_h(u) = C 2^{u-1}
$$
now making $T'_p(u) = C(u) 2^{u-1}$ and substituting into the particular recurrence we obtain the new recurrence
$$
C(u)-C(u-1) = 2\Rightarrow C(u) = 2u
$$
so
$$
T'(u) = \left(C+2u \right) 2^{u-1}
$$
hence
$$
T(n) = C_1n+n\log_2 n
$$


That sail boat is very comfortable and in the same time performing. The cabins are four: three are double cabins, and one with two bunk bed. We can can host max. 8 guests. The skipper is very expert about this area, and reliable. He is passionate about fishing and music. The skipper is fluent in English. The standard itinerary provides navigation around of Salento s area where are a lot of wonderful creeks and caves. The tour provides departure from Leuca s port, and cruise to Otranto, Castro (Zinzulusa s Cave), Maldive of Salento and Gallipoli. You can go also to the Ionian Greece Islands, because the distance is just 45 miles that means about 7 hours sailing.


The main difference with the upstream repo is packages saved inside a docker image. During the image building /opt/update_mirror_ubuntu.sh is called to create mirrors, update them, merge all in one snapshot and publish it. By default, a new GPG key is generated for making a signature for repo.
There are two modes: filtered build that fetches only packages specified in assets/packages and unfiltered build that fetches all packages. The filtered build is used by default.
--build-arg GPG_PASSWORD="GPG passphrase for my private key"
To use the Nginx blacklist feature a volume with Nginx config has to be mounted at runtime. By default, the following keywords are blocked: telnet, ftp. If no volume is mounted then no blacklist will be used.

Federal Direct Student Loan Program: Finalist Presentation
In the early 1990s, prospective college students were guaranteed loans through the the federal government's Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program. As demand for FFELs grew beyond initial expectation, so to did the involvement of financial institutions, each with their own unique procedures and loan requirements. At the program's peak, over seven thousand banks and forty guarantee agencies were offering FFELs to the college-bound. The system's diversity eventually led to delays in the loan approval and dispersal process, which in turn added administrative burden to both schools and students.
Under the Student Loan Reform Act of 1993, the United States Department of Education undertook a reform of the student loan process. The resultant William D. Ford Federal Direct Student Loan Program (FDSL) makes use of new technologies to streamline loan request procedures, collecting applications via one central website and making for a largely paperless system. Electronic transfers of funds, electronic imaging of promissory notes and electronic application records improved operational efficiency resulted in cost-savings.
The FDSL system, perhaps in the boldest departure from previous student loan administration, replaced bank and guarantee agencies with federal government coffers, an effort which essentially by-passed the middle-man and allowed government to offer direct loans to students. To further streamline the process, FDSL empowered schools to help students initiate the loan process. FDSL also offered students loans with more flexible repayment options, an added benefit made available by working with a single loan originator. Finally, and in an effort to reduce the loan default rate, FDSL offered income-contingent repayment schedules, verified and monitored by the Internal Revenue Service.
In four independent surveys, schools involved in FDSL reported overwhelming satisfaction with its improvements in efficiency and simplicity. FDSL has also surpassed FFEL in accountability as one hundred percent of funds dispersed as part of 852,000 separate loans made in the program's first year of operation were accounted for. As further testament to its efficiency, FDSL received over 470 letters of praise from college and university presidents. The most important result of this program, however, is its flexible repayment options that allow graduates the financial flexibility to pursue any profession they choose; students report no longer feeling obligated to high income-earning career options for the sole purpose of debt repayment.

I am so angry over the way the government is doing. I'm not going to turn this into a post on politics, I just need a scripture to read that will help me. It keeps me so angry when I hear how corrupt things are in Washington and I don't like feeling like this.
Someone please give me a scripture to read.
This isn't about anger, Beverly, but it does tell us what to do about authority. I think the Roman government was just as bad if not worse than those in Washington.
2 - for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
It's ok to be angry. But if you follow the scriptures Vhayes posted you're more likely to keep yourself from sin in the process.
The verse I was going to post is above. You are not alone. I see the evil, and strugle to not dwell on the anger also. I will say that it is a great comfort to me to know that we are only here for a season. The evil men, and their self serving deception can only affect the temporal... our citizenship is in a kingdom not formed with human hands.... These men have NO place there.
Meek isn't the best word as there really wasn't a word for what the aramaic Jesus was speaking or the Greek it was translated into has an equivalent of in English.
Meek is close to even tempered...what it really is talking about is that a person doesn't give into rage or giddiness. Even tempered is part of it. But so is self control over happiness. In other words they don't lose control of themselves by reason of their emotions. That isn't to say that they don't have emotions or do not express them. In fact Most characters in the Bible were emotional...including Jesus.
Politics and the stories they generate are usually exaggerated. It has been this way since elections were first started and before. Even the Romans had grossly exaggerated stories running about before their electiions. I would believe none of them in all reality. It is a game of "gotcha" in most political circles coming right after apathy.
And what is your anger accomplishing other than eating you up? You won't be able to change anything. Take it as a sign of the times and look up He may be ready to return.
As others have said anger is not necessarily a big deal but there is more for that point the way I see it.
Ehp 4:26 talks about not letting the sun go down on your anger. What if you get mad 10 min before sunset?
The Government may have God given authority but I would say forgiving them is where anger will be lost and peace is found.
Thank you all, I feel better just reading your posts. I'm not going to let what the government is doing steal my joy! Besides like revrobor said, I can't change anything anyway.
