Weekend Rock Question: What's the Best AC/DC Song?
AC/DC's "Play Ball" arrived this week.
AC/DC released their new track "Play Ball" from their upcoming LP Rock or Bust earlier this week. It's an awesomely riff-heavy track in the grand tradition of basically every song in their entire catalog, and we'd expect nothing less. The disc — their first without founding member Malcolm Young — comes out on December 2nd. They are expected to tour next year.
Now we have a question for you: What is the single greatest AC/DC song? Feel free to vote for a Bon Scott-era classic like "Highway to Hell," a Brian Johnson-era hit like "Back in Black" or maybe something more obscure like "Get It Hot" or "Safe in New York City." Pick whatever AC/DC song you want, but please only vote once and only for a single track.

Major Development Projects
Western Avenue Vision Plan
Project Planner: Ara Mihranian, Director
Contact Information: Email Ara Mihranian or (310) 544-5227
Western Avenue is the primary N-S corridor of the South Bay, Palos Verdes Peninsula, and San Pedro Communities. Two years ago, a Western Avenue Vision Plan was developed to serve as a visionary framework plan to revitalize Western Avenue through aesthetic improvements, transit improvements, alternative mobility methods, and business incentives. As a follow-up to that effort, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and City of Los Angeles teamed up together to develop a uniform strategy for the Western Avenue Corridor between Summerland Avenue and Palos Verdes Drive North. Below are summaries of past public workshops and public hearings for the planning process to create this new implementation tool to improve Western Avenue. Additionally, the FINAL Strategy that was adopted by the RPV City Council on December 15, 2015 is available for viewing:

Western Avenue Corridor Street Enhancement Strategy (the Strategy)
The updated Western Avenue Corridor Street Enhancement Strategy (formerly "Design Implementation Guidelines"), will be presented to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes City Council at its Tuesday, December 15, 2015 City Council meeting. The meeting will be held at Hesse Park Community Building at 7:00 PM, located at 29301 Hawthorne Boulevard, in Rancho Palos Verdes. The updated document will illustrate the Planning Commission's recommendation to pursue a strategy for the Western Avenue corridor shared by the Cities of Rancho Palos Verdes and Los Angeles. The new Strategy will maintain existing traffic lane widths at 12-feet, street parking will be removed and replaced with 5-feet wide bike lanes with an additional 3-feet wide space separation from traffic lanes, with the amount of curb cuts minimized along the corridor, and the undergrounding of utility lines. This recommendation is predicated upon the review and approval of traffic and bike studies that demonstrate that traffic volumes and speeds are not reduced. In addition to incorporating the Planning Commission's recommendation, the new Strategy document has also been revised to capture feedback obtained from the public throughout the public outreach process.
City Staff from Rancho Palos Verdes and Los Angeles have worked together to prepare the Strategy that outlines the framework and strategy for implementing complete street improvements within the public right-of-way, which are proposed to be implemented first. The Strategy also outlines concepts to assist either City in determining what, if any, changes to each City's private development standards would require additional public input and research sometime in the future. In total, the Strategy aims to lay out the foundation and direction for the corridor's evolution over the next 3 to 30 years.
The revised Strategy document can be view below. Additionally, the December 15, 2015 City Council Staff Report will be available on the City's website under the "City Meetings and Agendas" tab on December 3, 2015.

Western Avenue Design Guidelines - March 14, 2015 Open House
In order to get input and ideas from the public for the look of the Western Avenue Corridor, a public Open House was held on Saturday, March 14, 2015 from 10 am to 2 pm at the Peck Park Community Center (560 N. Western Avenue San Pedro, CA 90732). Below, you will find links to the Draft Western Avenue Vision Plan, the PowerPoint presented at the Open House, a summary and highlights for your convenience, and a public comment card. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes encourages all members of the public ranging from residents, visitors and business owners to provide feedback on the Draft Vision Plan by printing and mailing the Comment Card provided in the link below. The Draft document will be modified to address comments received from various stakeholders and presented to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes Planning Commission and City Council for final review.

Western Avenue Vision Plan status as of May 1, 2013
On April 20, 2013, an Open House was conducted to provide the public with the opportunity to view the work that had been conducted thus far and to provide comment and feedback, and share ideas with the consultant.
Based upon the comments received during the open house and the input from the Working Group, the consultant will be preparing a Draft Western Avenue Vision Plan, which will serve as a visionary framework plan to revitalize Western Avenue through aesthetic improvements, transit improvements and alternative methods, and business incentives. The Draft will be presented to the Planning Commission on May 28, 2013, and will be considered by the City Council on June 18, 2013.
In the meantime, city Staff will be applying for another grant from SCAG's Compass Blueprint Demonstration Project to develop design guidelines and standards for implementing the ideas contained in the Vision Plan.
Western Avenue Vision Plan as of April 1, 2013
In developing the Vision Plan, a Vision Working Group has been created to help steer the Vision Plan effort. The Working Group is comprised of various stakeholders, which includes residents, business owners, Chambers of Commerce, and Staff from both the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and the City of Los Angeles. Also joining in this effort is a Staff member from Los Angeles City Councilman Buscaino's office.
The Group has met several times with the consulting firm to discuss ideas about Western Avenue and establish guiding principles and aspirations in creating the Vision Plan document, which include:
Create amenities and destination for visitors and residents
Create diversity in retail, access and mobility
Improving the public realm, storefronts and the overall perception of the street
Partnerships to market the Western Avenue brand and corridor
In preparation to develop the Vision Plan, much research has been conducted in obtaining demographic information, parcel and business inventories, parking inventory, and bicycle and transit feasibility studies. The consultant has taken the Working Group's input and an Open House has been scheduled for April 20, at Peck Park in San Pedro, to provide the public with the opportunity to share ideas, see the work in progress, and provide feedback to our team. This is your opportunity to help us create a vision to improve Western Avenue!
Western Avenue Vision Plan as of August 2012
The city was informed by SCAG in October 2011 that a $120,000 grant was awarded to the city under its Compass Blueprint Demonstration Project. These Demonstration Project are driven by the following 4 key principles:
Livability – Creating positive communities
Mobility – Getting where we want to go
Prosperity – Long-term health for the region
Sustainability – Promoting efficient use of natural resources
The grant allows the city to obtain services from a consulting firm to develop a Western Avenue Vision Plan for the purpose of identifying planning options and sustainable economic development opportunities for the Western Avenue corridor.
The city has selected the consulting firm AECOM to perform the work in developing the Western Avenue Vision Plan. AECOM is familiar with the South Bay and San Pedro area, and most recently developed the specific plan for the waterfront area of the LA Harbor.
Staff envisions the creation of a visionary framework plan to revitalize Western Avenue through aesthetic improvements, transit improvements and alternative methods, and business incentives. In summary, city Staff believes that the document should accomplish the following core objectives:
Analyze and assess renovation possibilities for existing property owners, mixed-use potential, and merger / consolidation of parcels to create greater development and circulation (vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian) improvement opportunities
Develop an identity / brand for the Western Avenue corridor
Develop guidelines and policy that unify the overall vision for the Western Avenue corridor
Improve multi-modal transit integration, diversity, frequency and efficiency
Improve the pedestrian and bicyclist experience and connectivity to the greater city through identification of paths and/or trails
Increase economic activity of the corridor through business development, signage and marketing, and creating incentives for property / business owners to renovate their buildings and/or properties
Increase streetscape beautification through innovative, urban greening design solutions that increase walk ability and provide environmental benefits
Strengthen the core Western Avenue business and residential identity, and increase community appeal
City staff has met with AECOM to discuss these objectives, discuss the area's background, and what the city expects from this process. Development of the Vision Plan will take about 9 months, and should be completed in the first quarter of 2013. In developing the Vision Plan, a Vision Working Group has been created to help steer the Vision Plan effort. The Working Group is comprised of various stakeholders, which includes residents, businesses, Chambers of Commerce, and Staff from both the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and the City of Los Angeles.
A public outreach / workshop will be held to obtain comments and feedback, all to ensure that the Vision Plan reflects the community's vision for Western Avenue, envisioned to be conducted in early 2013.

New Attention Given to Child Cocoa Workers in Ivory Coast and Ghana
October 25, 2010 /in Agriculture, Child Labor - International, Chocolate, Chocolate, Cote d'Ivoire, News & Events/by Reid Maki
Children living in a cocoa-producing village near the town of Oume, Ivory Coast
Or download MP3 (Right-click or option-click and save link)
This is the VOA Special English Agriculture Report.
Chocolate comes from cocoa beans, and more than half of those beans come from two countries in West Africa. But the situation is not all sweetness for poor cocoa farmers in Ivory Coast and neighboring Ghana. The United States has announced ten million dollars for renewed efforts to end the worst forms of child labor in the cocoa industry in those countries.
The grant will support efforts to reduce poverty so parents do not have to depend on the labor of their children. Another aim is to give children more access to education.
The money will go toward a new "Framework of Action" related to an international agreement from two thousand one. That agreement is called the Harkin-Engel Protocol. American Senator Tom Harkin and Representative Elliott Engel led negotiations with the chocolate and cocoa industries.
The Department of Labor announced the grant in September, along with seven million dollars promised by the international cocoa industry. The governments of Ghana and Ivory Coast have also promised resources and policy support for the new efforts.
Kevin Willcutts is an official in the Labor Department's Office of Child Labor.
KEVIN WILLCUTTS: "We're at a point in time when we think we have a real opportunity because with the signing of this joint declaration, the parties are coming together and saying that we share a common commitment to address the situation and to offer children better hope for the future through education."
Daan de Vries is with Utz Certified, a program that tries to create a fair marketplace for agricultural products. Mr. de Vries says some crops are grown closer to cities because they must be processed quickly.
But he says crops like cocoa and coffee are often grown in very rural areas with more poverty and less enforcement of rules.
Bama Athreya directs the International Labor Rights Forum.
BAMA ATHREYA: "There's been a real unwillingness to act that I think is driven by the business proposition of getting cheap child labor to produce the cocoa for quite some time. And that is a major challenge."
Larry Graham, president of the National Confectioners Association in Washington, represented industry groups at the launch of the framework. He said "Our industry is fully committed to helping even more cocoa farming families through this innovative partnership."
Ivory Coast is the world's largest cocoa grower. But the country has been split in half since a failed overthrow in two thousand two led to armed conflict. A long-delayed presidential election is set for this Sunday.
And that's the VOA Special English Agriculture Report, written by Jerilyn Watson, with Drew Hinshaw reporting from Senegal. I'm Bob Doughty.

Over the past week, we are seeing more companies capitalizing on services leveraging augmented reality. One company secured funding to expand their service, while two other companies grow its own services through acquisition.
Aira has closed a Series B round of funding totaling $12 million to extend its visual interpreter services to more blind and low vision individuals.
Available now to new users in the United States, the visual interpreter service from Aira enables users to navigate their physical environment through Google Glass with support from live remote agents. The agents are connected to the user's view over dedicated bandwidth from AT&T and are assisted by an artificial intelligence platform that learns users' preferences over time.
The round is led by new backers JAZZ Venture Partners and Arboretum Ventures. Existing backers participating in the round include Lux Capital, ARCH Venture Partners, and Felicis Ventures. National Federation of the Blind also participated as a strategic investor.
"I am inspired by the passion that this accomplished group of investors has for our mission to further enhance quality of life for the BVI community," said Suman Kanuganti, CEO of Aira, in a news release. "By working together we can remove remaining barriers for BVI individuals to live with greater autonomy and confidence."
mCloud Corp., an asset management services provider that leverages augmented reality and machine learning technology, has acquired Field Diagnostics Services, Inc. (FDSI), a cloud platform provider.
FDSI's Google-based platform will enable mCloud to deliver its AssetCare solutions via the cloud, beginning with their HVAC unit and mid-size wind turbine monitoring service and eventually extending to field service support.
"The FDSI technologies and capabilities provide mCloud with the proven foundation that brings together people, data and knowledge to improve the health and performance of critical assists," said Russ McMeekin, mCloud CEO, in a news release.
mCloud's AssetCare field service utilizes augmented reality through smartglasses, which allows remote experts to see field technicians' viewpoint and deliver supporting documentation to their displays.
"Joining forces with mCloud enables us to bring this to many more customers while simplifying support and assistance to field service technicians," said Todd Rossi, CEO of FDSI.
Software technology service provider Exadel has launched a new global development service following a series of acquisitions.
Over the past six months, Exadel merged with Red Hat, a software engineering firm based in Boulder, Colorado, and a pair of software developers based in Poland, Akme Software and ReeWise.
These moves give Exadel the talent pool to develop enterprise solutions leveraging augmented reality, IoT, blockchain, emotional intelligence, wearables, sensors, and other innovative technologies.
"We've seen the future of technology innovation in the global enterprise, and it increasingly is dependent on data-driven business value and creative solutions," said Fima Katz, CEO of Exadel. "We understand that digital business transformation requires premium services accessible around the world, and our global presence now allows us to utilize highly specialized resources no matter the project, and more importantly, no matter the scale of the project or location."

Ostatnie kuszenie (ang. The Last Temptation) – komiks wydany pierwotnie w 1994 roku. Autorem scenariusza jest Neil Gaiman, który stworzył tę historię wraz z Alice Cooperem, ilustracje wykonał Michael Zulli. W Polsce ukazał się w 2006 roku nakładem wydawnictwa Egmont Polska.

Komiks składa się z trzech aktów:
 Akt pierwszy: W złym miejscu, sam
 Akt drugi: Nieświęta wojna
 Akt trzeci: Oczyszczony ogniem

Ostatnie kuszenie to opowieść grozy stworzona na bazie typowej legendy miejskiej. Steven pod presją kolegów wchodzi do teatru, do którego zaprasza jedną osobę tajemniczy mężczyzna. Chłopiec samotnie zasiada na widowni. Przedstawienie przenosi go do miasta pełnego martwych ludzi, następnie kuszony jest przez uwodzicielską Mercy, będącą tak naprawdę gnijącym ciałem. Nastolatek zostaje wyproszony z przedstawienia z obietnicą, że kiedy indziej zobaczy wielki finał. Upiorny właściciel teatru nawiedza Stevena we śnie, oznajmiając, że chłopiec wpadł w jego pułapkę. Następnego dnia, w bibliotece miejskiej Steven odkrywa, że teatr uległ wiele lat temu spaleniu. Kiedy pojawia się ponownie wewnątrz tajemniczego budynku, jest kuszony przez wizję sławy i wiecznej młodości, która sprawi, że nigdy nie znajdzie się w świecie dorosłych. Steve nie wierzy właścicielowi teatru i podpala budynek, ostatecznie niszcząc jego widmo.

Downtown St. Pete is about to get a little bit sweeter. On Saturday, the owners of the beloved (swah-rey) dessert bar signed a lease for a second location on the 600 block of Central Avenue.
Gregg and Leslie-Ann Ciccone opened the original (swah-rey) in October 2015 at 2105 Central Ave in St. Pete's Grand Central District. At the time, it was St. Pete's only dedicated dessert bar. Offering delectable desserts such as cakes, pies, and créme brûlées as well as beverages such as beer, wine and Kahwa coffee, (swah-rey) quickly became the talk of the town.
While all of the desserts are fantastic, the star of the show has always been the Minis, the most delicious bite-sized cupcakes you'll ever sink your teeth into. They are baked fresh daily in about 13 different flavors, such as Chocolate Salted Caramel, Funfetti, and Strawberry Lemonade. And if you're feeling thirsty, upgrade to a "Mini Hook-up", which pairs a Mini with a "shot" of beer, wine, milk, coffee, or another beverage.
"Mini Hook-up", a Mini cupcake paired with a "shot" of beer, wine, milk, coffee, or another beverage.
The new sweet shop will be located at 625 Central Avenue, formerly home to Stash: A Place for Yarn who have relocated to 2820 1st Ave N. The 600 block location will be smaller than the first, with 5 bar seats inside and 12-16 outdoor seats. Consequently, all baking will be done at the Grand Central District location and delivered to the 600 block each morning. As they've done from the beginning, the Ciccone's will continue to give back to the community by donating a portion of their sales to Southeastern Guide Dogs.
The new location will cater to people on the go, offering all flavors of the Minis, in addition to scratch-made breakfast items such as mini muffins, mini scones, mini coffee cake, etc. Beer, wine, coffee, tea and even frose (frozen Rosé) will also be available.
The only items that won't be making the move to the 2nd store will be the cake slices, except if on Saturday night they don't sell out, then the slices will move down to the 600 block for a discounted cost to be sold on Sunday.
In order to raise money and generate excitement for the new digs, there will be a Kickstarter campaign launching in late August or September with fun gifts for those who donate, including a (swah-rey) Yeti with a daily drink for a year, cakes and mini decorating parties at the main store, and much more.
The new (swah-rey) is expected to open this coming October, which coincides with the main location's two year anniversary. And you'll be able to satisfy your sweet tooth 7 days a week beginning at 9 am.
Be sure to follow (swah-rey) on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to stay up-to-date on official Grand Opening details.


It doesn't seem to matter which diet one chooses, the issue of carbohydrates always seems to rise to the top. Especially since the advent of the South Beach Diet and the Atkin's Diet, both of which focus strongly upon high protein intake and lower carbohydrate intake. These diets have worked for thousands of people. And, for thousands of others, they have not worked. What's wrong? Well, not all diets are suitable for all people. And, truth be told, cutting out carbohydrates can be very unhealthy.
Carbohydrates have been accused of being the cause of weight gain in people for a long time. And, they can be the cause of weight gain. When eating carbs results in weight gain it is usually because of one of three primary causes: Eating too many of the right carbs, adding too much fat to your carbs, or eating the wrong type of carbs.
When we eat too much of anything - even if it's good for us - we will gain weight. The reason for this is that calories eaten and not used for energy are stored as fat. So, eating whole grain bread or pasta is great - it's a very healthy thing to do - but eating a lot and not burning any calories can and probably will result in weight gain. You can have a baked potato, which amounts to about 80 calories, but if you add a couple of pats of butter and a dollop of sour cream, your potato now constitutes about 300 calories.
So, What is a Carbohydrate?
A carbohydrate is a type of food, usually derived from plants, but also available in dairy products. Carbs are fuel for the human body; the simplest form is glucose or sugar. The brain relies exclusively on glucose to function, so cutting carbohydrates from the diet can create some unhealthy results. The muscles store carbohydrates in the form of glycogen to help you handle physical activity. Carbohydrates are important to the function of brain and body.
There are two types of carbohydrates which differ in many ways, but mostly on how quickly they are processed by the body. Complex carbohydrates are unrefined and have more fiber, so the body processes them more slowly. Such foods as fruits, vegetables, whole grain foods, legumes, brown rice and sweet potatoes are good examples of complex carbs.
Simple carbs have either been stripped of their fiber through manufacturing or are low in fiber naturally. Because there is no fiber to deal with, the body processes these simple sugars very quickly. Examples of simple carbohydrates include granulated sugars, maple syrup, honey, molasses, white bread, potatoes, and white flour products.
It is important to have a balance of protein, fats and carbohydrates in your diet, with the emphasis on more complex carbohydrates and less simple ones. By eating whole grain breads and pastas, lots of vegetables and salads and fruits, you can be sure you're getting enough of the right kind of carbs to power your body through the day.

I've been changing how I write. These days I use (virtual) index cards to create a detailed outline of my novel before I put pen to paper to create a first draft.
So we write the array version of the INDEX formula as =INDEX(A2:C10,0,3). As you can see, when we need to return the entire column, we set the row parameter to 0. Similarly if we need to return the entire row, we would set the column parameter to 0.
As others have stated, if you don't want to save the index column in the first place, you can use df.to_csv('processed.csv', index=False) However, since the data you will usually use, have some sort of index themselves, let's say a 'timestamp' column, I would keep the index and load the data using it.

We recently dedicated Nadia to the Lord. I always thought of dedications as something Christian parents do as an equivalent to a baptism….I never thought of it as something God desired, if that makes sense. When we dedicated Genevieve, our pastor, Pastor Don came to our home and spoke of the importance of a dedication ceremony (Did you know that Jesus Himself, was dedicated or "presented" to the Lord [Luke 2:22]?!). I also like that during the ceremony our pastors challenge the church to be a positive influence on the child's life as well. I love the thought of our church body praying for our little ones, protecting them, and being our eyes and ears! It takes a village right?! The dedication itself was awesome- to hear Pastor Don and Pastor Ed speak words of encouragement to us and over our sweet Nadia blessed my heart!
As for the food, I was a little nervous about it. It was only immediate family but other than Joe's birthday, I've barely hosted anything without my mama's help. I decided on a brunch mostly because I love breakfast food but also because it's easy and inexpensive. I was careful to choose a menu that would allow me to do most of the prep the night before.
Fruit- my MIL brought this.
Deviled Eggs- made the night before.
Monkey Bread (made by my sister-in-law).
Ultimate Chicken Salad- I LOVE this chicken salad. I made this the night before.
Princess Punch (& water)- found the recipe for this punch on pinterest but I didn't pin it so I can't find it!
Ball Jar Cheesecake with raspberries, mint, and chocolate chips- made the night before.
The brunch was yummy and the weather was beautiful—allowing most of our family to hang out outside. Our house is tiny and our recent remodel left us with no 'real' dining area so entertaining when it's cold and rainy is nearly impossible. It was gorgeous and in the 70s so most everyone ate outside and the kids stayed outside almost the entire time.

Meet Activist Darice Chang: Addressing the Gender Gap in Taiwan
Addressing the Gender Gap in Taiwan
By Patricia Cumbie, Communications Manager
Darice Chang is an American expat currently living in Taiwan, an island of 24 million people in east Asia. During a recent Skype interview we talked about how they became a human rights activist, what it's like to live in Taiwan during the age of the coronavirus, being a domestic violence survivor, and the impact that female leadership–from President Tsai Ing Wen on down–has on Taiwan culturally.
Although Darice lived most of their life in the U.S. in Minnesota growing up, they had visited Asia frequently because their parents are Taiwanese. They were taught how to read, write and speak Chinese before they learned English. Darice moved to Taiwan in 2011 and got to know the culture from a different perspective as a non-binary activist and a full-time resident living there.
Political Awakening
It was storytelling that led to a deeper desire to advocate for the rights of women. "I'd been volunteering at a jail for women in Taiwan, leading a group of HIV-positive and women with addictions in mindfulness and meditation. It was the most difficult ward. I heard their stories about the economic hardships they faced." It spurred Darice's involvement with the women's movement in Taiwan, becoming an advocacy journalist and writing about the ways gender bias had held back the most vulnerable.
A self-described 'tomboy' in their youth, Darice also found that taking part in the Miss Taiwanese American Pageant was a surprising and unexpected political awakening. "During the pageant we talked a lot about Taiwan-American relations and what that means." It turned out to be a deep dive into Taiwan's relationship with the world through China, Japan and the U.S. Despite being a founding member of the U.N Taiwan does not hold a seat, losing it to China in 1971. It also does not have a say in the WHO, a major disadvantage during the SARS crisis of 2003, as well as the current pandemic.
Darice explained that in the 1940s Nationalist Chinese had retreated to Taiwan, and founded the country in 1945 as the Republic of China (ROC). At the time, Taiwan was an ambiguous Japanese colony that had clatheyd with different Chinese dynasties that had also claimed the island. There was also local resistance from the indigenous people living there. The People's Republic of China (PRC), also known today as mainland China, went through Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution, and to this day will not recognize the ROC as an independent nation. This history still informs the daily lives and politics of the people who live in Taiwan. "There are so many factions, so many agendas." Yet they had managed to elect their first woman president.
Taiwan's Women Leadership
Tsai Ing Wen has been Taiwan's president since 2016 (winning reelection last year), and Darice said they value their progressive agenda, having recently passed a same-sex marriage law, and is pushing for reparations for the indigenous people. Tsai Ing Wen is appreciated as a unifying figure in a country with complex politics. "A lot of young people support her."
On a personal level, Darice finds Ing-Wen charming, a refreshing and real person, someone who also embraces a "cat lady" persona whose three cats who are often featured on Ing-Wen's active social media feed. You can run a country and love cats too!
As a world leader, Tsai Ing Wen, a former academic and lawyer, has dedicated herself to changing the culture for women and the overall political landscape of their country. Despite all the strides made by female leadership, Taiwan is still deeply patriarchal.
"Even with a strong feminist political movement, Taiwan is not as strong socially. There's still a culture of what 'women should do.'" Those shoulds include sustaining hetero-normative relationships, caretaking the young and old, and having children. Even though 42% of Taiwan's political offices are held by women, every woman politician has to battle sexist assumptions and judgement. Darice said conservative groups and male politicians are quick to be condescending and outspoken in their patriarchal view that women should give home and family priority over politics.
Changing that dynamic has become Darice's work and purpose by supporting them and different activist groups with getting their issues international attention. "It's important to get international attention on these issues and prioritize them. In Taiwan it took the Women's March three years to get local Chinese language media coverage."
Feminism and Safety in the Time of COVID-19
Darice is passionate about many things, but what tops of the list is breaking silence and removing the stigma of being a feminist in a socially conservative society. "There's this weird complacency that because we have a woman president and politicians that women's rights are no longer an issue. There's a gender wage gap here, women's participation in STEM is low, there's no social safety net, no maternity leave. There's a lot of room for improvement."
Darice also experienced this firsthand. As a survivor of intimate partner violence they found it challenging to find a place to stay safe, especially now because of the lockdown due to the virus. Although Taiwan has effectively kept the coronavirus spread low by locking down the country to travelers, people are also practicing intense social distancing. Friends who may have taken them in were not able to. They felt lucky to find a short-term rental apartment. "There's also a lot of shame in leaving a partner for an abusive situation. The culture is averse and people want to save face. It's difficult to get help in an anonymous way."
Darice said these attitudes end up leaving womxn with limited options–something they saw impacting the women in prison–how stigma is a powerful force for social and economic control. Taiwan has work to do to close these gender gaps, and the impact of COVID-19 has shown a spotlight on many gender issues, not the least of which is economic empowerment that sustains a woman's ability to live free from violence.
Darice is also working as part of a production team on a documentary that takes viewers on a real-time journey through the island nation's rapid-fire response to the Covid-19 outbreak. From the first whispers of a new contagious disease in Wuhan, China, leaking out through online message boards, to Taiwan's quick adoption of travel bans, PPE production, and rolling out of contact tracing technology and other timely and useful apps, this video documentary examines the political, cultural, and technological angles of the way in which Taiwan, in spite of its proximity to China and the many thousands of Taiwanese who make their living there, managed to contain the outbreak of coronavirus even without being a member of the WHO and despite the fact that the country is without official diplomatic recognition by much of the world. Featuring interviews with survivors, planners, and officials, Taiwan Can Help presents the first ever comprehensive outline of what Taiwan did right, and how the world might learn from Taiwan's response to one of the defining events of the 21st century.
Thanks to the efforts of womxn like Darice who use their voice and influence, things are changing in Taiwan and globally because they are committed and "very vocal."

Home GADGET iPhone 13 review
iPhone 13 review
What exactly are you looking for with a new phone? Assuming you have a solid base, I believe the list of features that make a significant difference in phone upgrades is very short. The enhanced battery life is top on the list. The second improvement is a better camera.
Those are the two features that make a significant difference in your smartphone's day-to-day experience (provided, of course, that the basics aren't abysmal). Those are also the features that Apple improved with the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini.
These two enhancements are in addition to the substantial upgrades made by Apple with the iPhone 12 last year.
If you already own an iPhone 12, this year's update appears to be iterative. If you have a previous iPhone, the list of things that the iPhone 13 does better is nearly too long to list.
The iPhone 12 introduced new technologies as well as a stylish new design (and a new, Mini-sized version). The battery and camera enhancements in the iPhone 13 aren't as spectacular, but they're more crucial.
1 DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS OF THE IPHONE 13 AND 13 MINI

4 SOUND QUALITY ON THE IPHONE 13

6 IPHONE 13 CAMERAS
DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS OF THE IPHONE 13 AND 13 MINI
It's tough to notice the difference between the iPhone 13 and its predecessors unless you examine it very closely. The iPhone 12 and 12 Mini offered a new flat-edged design that I still think is a huge upgrade over previous models.
The iPhone 12 Mini, of course, was the first smartphone in a long time to deliver a truly amazing experience in a smaller form size. They also moved to OLED displays, which are superior to LCDs in various respects, including contrast ratio, brightness, and battery economy. They increased the bandwidth to 5G. The MagSafe charging system was incorporated.
Because consumers are now holding on to their devices for longer periods — particularly iPhones — it's worth examining all those major developments.
Because so many of the people who will buy the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini will be unfamiliar with what the iPhone 12 had to offer, I believe it's fair to give them credit for the design they're built on. However, there are several alterations to that design.
The latest iPhones are slightly thicker in general, with significantly larger camera bumps. As a result, cases made for the iPhone 12 and 12 Mini are unlikely to suit the subsequent models. Not only has the camera bump grown in size, but the lenses have been adjusted to make room for the massive new sensor in the main wide-angle camera.
Last but not least, the notch that houses FaceID and the selfie camera has been lowered by 20% – but don't get too excited.
It's only been shrunk on the horizontal axis, so the extra screen you receive isn't worth much (and Apple isn't using it to display more information, such as battery percentage).
IPhone 13 Launch Dates, Price, Specification, Or Variants
The A15 Bionic is a new chipset found within the iPhone 13.
As is typical of iPhones, it's tough to notice substantial speed increases, but that's only because iPhones have so much headroom that they seem fast for longer periods.
The Pro models feature one additional GPU core than the standard devices, but I haven't observed any difference. The standard capacity on the least costly iPhone 13 and 13 Mini has been boosted to 128GB this year, which is a significant change.
I'm honestly impressed that Apple was able to raise the base storage on its own – it's usually done it far too late in the past.
Finally, there's a new pink color option, which is my favorite design enhancement over the iPhone 12. It is the greatest of all the colors available on the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro models.

IPHONE 13 BATTERY
Last year's iPhone 12's battery life wasn't exactly as good as I had hoped. Last year's iPhone 12 Mini's battery life was, unfortunately, precisely what I had expected: poor. So, with the iPhone 13 this year, Apple did the obvious: it increased the battery capacity. Apple's battery claims this year are primarily driven by the larger batteries (9 percent on the iPhone 13 Mini and 15 percent on the iPhone 13.
It claims that the normal iPhone 13 will last two and a half hours longer than the iPhone 12, while the Mini would last one and a half hours long. Of course, if you don't have an iPhone 12, the fact that the 13 lasts over two hours longer is irrelevant.
However, my conclusion about the ordinary iPhone 13 does not require any comparisons: battery life is outstanding.
The ordinary iPhone 13 lasted from 7 am to midnight on one of the days of my testing. That included camera testing, video viewing, the typical room scrolling, emails, work, and video games. That was an incredible amount of work for the five hours of screentime that day.
I didn't notice the battery warning till the next morning on another day with less usage. The iPhone 13's battery, on the other hand, isn't magical. when we had a day of a lot more 4K video testing.
The battery life of the iPhone 13 Mini is significantly better than that of the iPhone 12 Mini from last year, but not nearly enough for me to suggest it to anyone looking for a smaller phone.
I had to drastically alter my phone behavior with last year's 12 Mini for it to survive a complete day. This year, I just had to make minor adjustments to my habits. If you're not addicted to your screen for long periods, I believe the 13 Mini crosses a battery usability boundary that the 12 Mini failed to even approach.
The iPhone 12 and 13 Minis are designed to be as small as possible, both in terms of size and how often you use them. The Mini's battery is likely to be insufficient if you use your phone consistently throughout the day. My lesson from the Mini is that the enhancements alone will not be sufficient to overcome the underlying physics of smaller batteries.
My conclusion on the ordinary iPhone 13 is also based on physics: a large battery equals high battery life.

SOUND QUALITY ON THE IPHONE 13
The iPhone 13's speaker layout hasn't changed, so you won't be surprised to hear that it sounds exactly like its predecessor.
Because of their even-handed attitude, the internal speakers can handle most things thrown at them. There's plenty of detail and clarity here, but don't expect to hear a lot of basses.
We'd certainly advocate connecting the iPhone 13 to the best wireless headphones you can get if you're going to be listening for any amount of time (or a pair of wired headphones if you own a 3.5mm Lightning dongle). Apple has a reputation for making musical, entertaining devices, and the iPhone 13 is no exception.
Throw any genre at it, and the phone will simply make it more enjoyable to listen to. It has a knack for timing and adhering to the beat of a song. Stamping along to a brief blast of Mombassa from the Inception soundtrack, it sounds enthralling and dynamic.
The iPhone 13 exudes a strong sense of weight, drive, and power, leaving no mistake about the drama that unfolds in the accompanying film sequence. The iPhone 13 is also capable of conveying restraint and nuance. The iPhone dims its spotlight to reflect the passion and low-level dynamics of Billie Eilish's No Time To Die, which has a slower speed and greater delicacy.
Billie's sparse singing, as well as the echo around each piano stroke, are both obvious. The strings then raise the track's dynamic ceiling, resulting in a jubilant conclusion.

The A15 Bionic chip is found in the iPhone 13.
The A15 Bionic chip is responsible for all of the camera magic and everything else you do on the iPhone 13. During my time with it, it was capable of handling everything from gaming to video and photo editing, FaceTime chats and augmented reality apps. The A15 chip on the 13 and 13 Mini has a four-core GPU, whereas the A15 chip on the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max has a five-core GPU.
I couldn't tell the difference in practice. You can, however, in benchmark testing. The four phones scored the same in GeekBench 5, while the Pro models scored higher in the 3D Mark gaming performance test. The latest iPhones run iOS 15, which has shown to be reliable in my experience.
iOS 15 isn't a major update and appears to be a continuation of iOS 14. It isn't defined by a few large, flashy characteristics. Instead, iOS 15 is made up of a slew of minor tweaks that add up to something more substantial. iOS 15 is a substantial upgrade for your phone, with new possibilities to personalize your Memoji and larger aesthetic changes in Maps.
I'd like to point you that I used to review phones provided by Apple. During my five days with the iPhone 13 Pro Max, it shut down once and suddenly powered off twice. I don't believe this is a huge problem or cause for concern, but I wanted to relate my experience. It's been a nice start for the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini, but we still need to perform additional testing on the batteries, durability, and camera comparisons with competing phones.
However, for the time being, the iPhone 13 will remain the dependable phone that the majority of people will be glad to use for the next few years.

IPHONE 13 CAMERAS
The iPhone 13 and 13 Mini both use the same camera system, which includes a conventional wide-angle and an ultrawide lens.
Both have been updated, but the wide-angle has received the most attention. The update to the wide-angle camera sensor, like the battery, is simple: make it bigger.
A larger camera sensor can capture more light faster and offer better results. Apple had precisely such a sensor on hand: the one from the iPhone 12 Pro Max from last year. That's significant since the 12 Pro Max stood out from the rest of the iPhones last year because of its bigger sensor, which is now the new standard this year. And it has been the greatest smartphone camera on the market for both photographs and video from the moment the 12 Pro Max was announced until now.
I'm pleased to announce that the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini achieve similar or better results.
Details are clear and accurate, colors are vibrant without being oversaturated, focusing is quick and accurate, portrait mode is suitable for everyday use, and low light and night vision are also excellent. The video quality is excellent.
Sensor stabilization is available on the main camera, which comes in handy when walking around. It can handle all of the 4K and slow-motion modes that are important, and it does it flawlessly.
The only way to be dissatisfied with its camera is to compare it to an iPhone 13 Pro — and even then, I believe you'd need to do so on a large screen with shots taken in low light. The ultrawide sensor has also been updated for improved low-light performance, but it's a tiny change. When it's in night mode, I generally notice improved white balance and color.
That's something I've noticed throughout the place. Colors are a little more true to life this year, especially in low light. My biggest want is for an update to the selfie camera sensor. It has some software enhancements, just like the other cameras, and it's now housed in a smaller notch, but Apple can't keep the selfie camera the same for another year.
With the iPhone 13, Apple has included two new camera modes: Photographic Profiles and Cinematic Mode. Photographic Profiles are a new feature in the camera that allows you to alter the default appearance of the image you're taking. Instead of doing it in post-production, you can modify the tone and contrast of all the photos you capture.
You may be aware that Samsung phones take images with a lot of detail, whereas Google Pixel phones take photos with a lot of contrast and blue.
Apple is effectively conceding that folks may like certain appearances and is providing a way to acquire them automatically with Profiles. You can also personalize each one according to your tastes. In contrast to filters, profiles do not apply tone and warmth settings to the entire image.
When the iPhone detects grass, faces, or the sky, it adjusts its color preferences accordingly, ensuring that you don't end up with odd-looking skin tones or purple skies. You can't erase or make adjustments made with a Profile after the fact (beyond standard editing), and you can't utilize RAW at the same time as profiles. It's helpful to think of them as presets from time to time, and I'm sure I'll use them.
Apple states that the A15 Bionic is required for the entire Profiles experience to work, but I believe that this feature should be available on earlier iPhones as well. Cinematic Mode is a brand-new function that works similarly to Portrait Mode except for video. It focuses on a face and blurs the rest of the scene, just like a lens with a large aperture might.
However, it tries to modify the focus as it sees fit, changing to a background face if a face in the foreground, for example, turns away. You may change the focus manually when shooting the video or afterward in the edit – but only within Apple's apps like Photos or Final Cut. The results of Cinematic Mode aren't quite as impressive as Apple's advertising suggests.
It doesn't perform well (or at all) in low light, and it suffers from the same issues as early Portrait Mode shots, such as strange cutouts around hair and glasses. It also only works at 30 frames per second in 1080p. However, don't be put off by the fact that Cinematic Mode doesn't live up to the expectations.
The iPhone 13 and 13 Mini have outstanding camera systems. They'd be the best phone on the market right now if it weren't for the iPhone 13 Pro.

It's all too easy to look at the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini and dismiss the changes for the year. Every year, cameras improve, and every manufacturer claims long battery life. And, in comparison to the major improvements we witnessed on the iPhone last year, the 13 appears to be incremental, looking more like an iPhone 12S than true new models. I'm not saying that reading is completely incorrect, but I do believe it misses the point. While fancy new features are appealing, the fundamentals like battery life and camera performance are more critical.
Because if you concentrate on the fundamentals, your entire game will improve. And the iPhone 13 is up to the task.

Institutional Review Boards are responsible for continuing review of ongoing research to ensure that the rights and welfare of human subjects are protected. FDA regulations require that continuing review of research be conducted at intervals appropriate to the degree of risk, but not less than once per year[21 CFR 56.108(a)(1) and 56.190(f)]. The frequency and extent of continuing review for each study will be adequate to ensure the rights and welfare of research subjects, and will be documented in the initial approval letter.
The vulnerability of the study subject population.
The purpose of continuing review is to review the progress of the entire study, not just changes in it. Continuing review of a study may not be conducted through an expedited review process.
The following documentation is required, when reporting to the IRB using the continuing review process.
A written progress report from the clinical investigator, which includes the following information (see continuing review form included with this sheet).
The following are the three instances when it is required and/or appropriate to report to the IRB using the continuing review process.
1.End of approval period: You will receive a reminder letter approximately one month prior to the end of the study's approval period. You are required to submit a continuing review form along with the appropriate documentation to the IRB for review at their next meeting. For studies on the second or greater review, a $500.00 continuing review fee payable to International Cellular Medicine Society (ICMS). Failure to comply will result in expiration of IRB approval and closure of the study file for International Cellular Medicine Society.
2.Study completion: Upon completion of the study, you will be required to submit a final report to the IRB for review. The continuing review form may be used for this purpose.
3.Minor changes/update: The continuing review form may be used to inform the IRB of minor changes in ongoing previously approved research during the period for which approval is authorized.
The continuation of research after expiration of IRB approval is a violation of the regulations [21 CFR 56.103(a)]. If the IRB has not reviewed and approved a research study by the study's current expiration date, i.e. IRB approval has expired research activities should stop. No new subjects may be enrolled in the study. By regulation, an IRB has the authority and the responsibility to take appropriate steps such as terminating or suspending approval of research that is not being conducted in accordance with the IRB's requirements.
In the event of termination of the study the sponsor will also be notified.

Jenny and Johnny at the Fox Theater Pomona (April 13, 2011) – Photo Gallery Review
The first time we ever saw the popular indie sweethearts, Jenny and Johnny was at the FILTER Culture Collide Festival back in October. I've always been a fan of Jenny Lewis and Rilo Kiley and I was excited about her latest act, Jenny and Johnny (with her beau, Johnathan Rice). As always, Lewis was adorable with that charming voice of hers, but Johnny, well Johnny was a douche. Not only was he bitching on stage about the sound and insulting the sound guys … um, he walked off. Yeah, the dude stormed off with his poser leather jacket that said "Johnny" on the back. Always make a good first impression right? Well Johnny made a horrible impression on us along with the entire crowd at Culture Collide. So yeah, when I heard Jenny and Johnny were opening for Bright Eyes at the Fox Theater Pomona, I still had a sour taste left in my mouth. Regardless, we love Jenny Lewis! And this show of theirs wasn't bad at all. It was actually fun and totally engaging. I guess Johnny grew up a little.
Check out the photos below of Jenny and Johnny opening up for Bright Eyes at the Fox Theater Pomona.

Do you have the set list for this show?
She sang a song and in the into she said something like, "this is a song about breaking up", but it was not "breaking up". 🙂
Drewtheyours April 22, 2011 at 1:39 pm
Yeah, they suck. The only thing cool about them is the fact that Jenny plays bass. Simple 3 chord songs that don't sound good. And who the fuck is Johnathan? Thought it was Johnny? Could be that his mom left that comment above.
GG rocks!

Both. Blogs are supposed to be personal, not your traditional kiss-ass magazine style writing. Glad to hear he's not a douche, because he sure acted like one last year.
Alnonymous April 19, 2011 at 2:57 pm
Johnathan is the farthest thing from a "douche". Glad you were able to see them without sound issues the second time around.
Is this an actual review or a personal blog? I'm hoping the latter…

The Last Five Years switches venues and will now open at the Garrick Theatre
June 30, 2021 News, West End
Jason Robert Brown's award-winning musical, The Last Five Years, will now be opening at the larger Garrick Theatre for an extended limited season, 17 September – 17 October 2021.
This emotionally powerful and poignant story of two New Yorkers who fall in and out of love over the course of five years, is underscored by a beautifully bittersweet score, featuring 'I'm Still Hurting', 'Goodbye Until Tomorrow' and 'I Can Do Better Than That'.
Full of romance, wit and vivid storytelling, Jamie shares his story from the spark of their relationship's giddy beginning, whilst Cathy's side is told in reverse, from the end of their turbulent partnership. The two characters cross paths just once, as their stories collide during the middle of the show. Molly Lynch and Oli Higginson will reprise their roles as Cathy and Jamie.
This new production sees the actor-musicians playing the piano, ukulele and guitar live throughout the show, adding an additional musical narrative to the story and a unique magic to Brown's exquisite songs.
If you loved the film JAWS then you will love this fishy show coming to the West End

Bitcoin and Ethereum Trade Flat in Early 2023
January 2, 2023 Market Analysis 0
The top two digital assets, Bitcoin and Ethereum, started 2023 essentially unchanged as the crypto space tries to recover from the record-high bear market of 2022.
CoinMarketCap data showed that Bitcoin and Ethereum traded flat during the first 24 hours of the new year. According to the data, BTC gained 0.05% to trade at $16,586 as of press time, while ETH increased by 0.06% to $1,200 over the same timeframe.
The current price action continues a weeklong market movement that saw both assets shed less than 2% of their values in the last seven days. BTC fell by 1.5%, while ETH dropped by 1.6%. Coinglass data shows that $12.58 million was liquidated in 24 hours.
Source: Coin360
What Does The Year Hold For Bitcoin?
Based on the four-year-cycle theory, crypto trader and analyst Rekt posited that Bitcoin could bottom this year. According to the analyst, BTC's price action tends to bottom out during the third year during its four-year cycles. He added that BTC reaches its bull market peak in the first year, slides into a bear market in the second year while it recovers, and begins a new trend in the fourth year.
Rekt said while it was possible for BTC's price to still drop to new lows, there is still the possibility of the value of the flagship digital asset doubling. He continued that past BTC candle threes have enjoyed 234% and 316% rallies. However, it is technically unlikely for the asset to rally that high this year.
Meanwhile, several stakeholders also pointed out Bitcoin miners' record-high capitulation in 2022. Reports have highlighted how miners have struggled in the current market situation and how mining machines are becoming increasingly unprofitable.
Altcoins Price Performance
According to CoinMarketCap data, the outlier among the top 30 crypto assets by market cap was Toncoin. The Telegram-backed asset saw a 6.6% gain in the last 24 hours to trade at $2.33 as of press time. The crypto asset had declined by over 7% on the seven days metrics.
Meanwhile, other altcoins, like Solana, Avalanche, XRP, Cardano, and Binance Coin (BNB), also saw minor losses in the last 24 hours. According to the data, SOL fell by 0.2% during the previous 24 hours and over 13% in the last seven days. AVAX saw a 1.1% loss in the previous 24 hours. BNB and XRP declined by 0.5% and 1%, respectively.

Since 2007, residents of Offenbach have been able to purchase certificates for photovoltaic (PV) systems on public roof space. Through the installation of PV systems - the first of which was erected on the German Leather Museum - the city of Offenbach has been able to generate alternative energy on public buildings. Residents may purchase certificates to become co-owners of the systems, and consequently enjoy handsome interest returns. The amount of solar energy created and reductions in CO2 achieved are displayed within the building.
To significantly speed solar energy production, the project group set the target of generating a large amount of investment capital within just a few months, which would be cost-neutral for the city itself. This was successfully achieved: through the leasing of communal roof space to solar energy companies who, as the operators, then assumed all investment costs and risks.
The city was thus ensured a stable income from roof leasing and guaranteed system output. As yet, an initial section of 20 roofs, mostly of school buildings and sports halls, has been put to use.
On the Move with a JobTicket!
To reach its self-imposed environmental protection goals, the city of Offenbach and its affiliated companies offer their 5,000 employees a JobTicket for all means of regional public transport, use of company-owned bicycles and an attractive car pooling system.
These offers are also an integral part of the so-called Operational Mobility Management, which the two public transport companies serving the city and the region established at the beginning of 2008. The Operational Mobility Management team develops individualised mobility concepts for enterprises in the city and the municipality of Offenbach. According to initial surveys, the measures implemented by the Operational Mobility Management team help reduce annual CO2 emissions significantly.

SCOTUS Nominee Kavanaugh Helped Steal Emails From Senators
During a very intense hearing on Wednesday, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was forced to answer questions from Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy about the role he played in the hacking of thousands of emails from Senate Democrats around 2004. The emails contained information about Bush judicial appointees and their various conflicts of interest, and Kavanaugh helped release these emails to give the nominees the upper hand in their hearings. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.
We're now into day three of the hearings into Brett Kavanaugh, the nominee from Donald Trump to be the next Supreme Court Justice. But let's talk about day two for a minute. First and foremost, Kamala Harris kind of stole the show there with her amazing line of questioning for Kavanaugh. Cornering him on issues like whether or not he talked about the Mueller probe with lawyers from Donald Trumps law firm.
Kamala Harris absolutely demolished Brett Kavanaugh. And did a phenomenal job of showing us just how incompetent and untrustworthy this man truly is. But before that even took place we learned something that should on it's face completely eliminate Brett Kavanaugh from consideration for the US Supreme Court. And that line of questioning actually from democratic Senator Patrick Leahy.
And it related back to an incident that took place around 2004 with Brett Kavanaugh when he was working inside the Bush White House trying to push through some of these Bush appointed judges who were just as bad as the ones that Trump is packing our courts with.
But Kavanaugh actually received stolen emails from Manuel Miranda who was working for Orrin Hatch, Republican senator at the time. And these emails were stolen from six different democratic senators, hacked, they were stolen.
There were over 4000 of these emails that were illegally obtained. And Brett Kavanaugh was a part of that because he helped leak these emails which contained information about how horrible these Bush administration appointees were. It pointed out the conflicts of interests.
For example, one woman Priscilla Owen who had taken a ton of money from Exxon, and then ruled in favor … Excuse me, Enron, not Exxon. Ruled in favor of Enron to the tune of about 15 million is what Enron ended up saving. She made a lot of money from Enron as well.
So lots of conflicts of interest there. People who were less than qualified to sick on a bench for a lifetime appointment. And Kavanaugh helped obtain those emails and leaked them to the potential nominees so that they could get a head start on the line of questioning that would be taking place.
These were illegally obtained emails. Kavanaugh knew it because Miranda gave them to him. And he didn't care. Kavanaugh has no credibility whatsoever. And honestly, working with somebody who you knew stole these emails and still spreading them around, giving these nominees the jump on what the questions were gonna be from the democratic senators who knew they weren't worthy of being on the bench, that is disqualifying.
But is that gonna stop any of the Republicans from voting against this guy absolutely not. It's probably not even gonna stop all of the democrats from voting for this guy. You've still got your Joe Mansions out there who are probably gonna be a clear yes vote on Kavanaugh.
But this man is a borderline criminal. He is corrupt as hell as we saw through that questioning from Kamala Harris. And the potential criminal activity from Patrick Leahy's line of questioning.
There should be no question in the minds of every single American citizen that Brett Kavanaugh regardless of your political affiliation, this man is not trustworthy enough. He is not honest enough to serve a lifetime appointment on the US Supreme Court. And that doesn't even begin to touch what a horrible corporatist this man would be.
All we need to know at this point, aside from his pro corporate, anti consumer leanings, is that this man will do whatever it takes legal, or illegal to get ahead in life. And that is not exactly the kind of quality of person that you want to see on the US Supreme Court.

The Sumac Centre has provided a valuable resource to the community of Forest Fields (Nottingham, UK) and far beyond since 2001, supporting many groups involved in campaigns for human rights, animal rights and ecological issues. It is used daily as a youth club for disadvantaged kids, and provides a meeting and social space for lots of people. The Sumac is organised without leaders, and is run by volunteers.
The project is sustainable, having paid off over half of it's mortgage. However, important maintenance tasks need to occur to make the space more welcoming to the many people who use it, and to new visitors.
One of these tasks it to replace the battered 20 year+ old carpet with some industrial grade lino or non-toxic vinyl which can be easily wiped down. This has been a desire for many years, but has never become a reality due to budget constraints.
Please help support our project by donating today. Many thanks.
Great start to the campaign, with 180 quid in just a few days! We're looking at many options for the floor, including concrete! Here is an interesting article about the benefits of concrete floors: http://www.hgtv.com/remodel/interior-remodel/why-concrete-floors-rock What do you think?
You can now donate to the Sumac Centre Flooring Fund by Paypay (including credit/debit cards) at https://sumac.org.uk/get-involved/donate/ . Thanks to Veggies for providing this facility foe Sumac and many other campaigns.

Is the gender pay gap an HR or PR problem?
Gender pay gap reporting has allowed organisations to demonstrate that diverse cultures are winning cultures. What are the opportunities for HR professionals to address gender pay gaps?
As Fabian Society writer and campaigner Barbara Leigh Hutchins wrote in 1902, 'It is strange to notice how very little the position of the woman worker has been improved in recent years.' Following the intense media focus earlier this year when over 10,000 organisations published their gender pay gap, it's hard to believe that this statement still paints an accurate picture of the 'woman worker' over 100 years later.
Why has little progress been made and in some cases why are women paid 75% less than their male colleagues? These were just some of the questions raised in a passionate, insightful and often deeply frustrating conversation about the gender pay gap. At the latest Future of Work leader's forum, powered by the CIPD and Jericho Chambers, we explored what we need to do next to tackle this huge problem and create enduring change.
Despite what might have been reported and portrayed by the media, there was general consensus around the table that the coverage generated and created the space for challenging, but necessary conversations. However, there was also an argument that with so many organisations publishing at the same time, it became easy to hide amongst the big stories coming out of major news outlets and multinational companies. There was slight disappointment from many in the room that next year this wouldn't be such a big story in the media. We shouldn't need headlines to address this issue, but it has certainly helped.
Many organisations and individuals have taken a defensive approach, blaming their results on a flawed methodology. We have also seen a number of companies publish the wrong gap, with some reporting a mean and median gap of zero – which is statistically impossible. In order to really address the issue, organisations need to explain the journey that they will undertake, summarise their philosophy, set out what they are going to achieve and be upfront by acknowledging the weaknesses that currently exist. There is no quick fix to this problem and initiatives put in place such as leadership programmes and talent pipelines will take time to deliver results. It was acknowledged that HR have a key role to play, going forward. We need to move away from paying people the minimum – we know women are less likely to negotiate and do so in different ways, and we shouldn't set them up on the back foot from the start.
We now have the opportunity to really get under the skin of the problem, figure out what is actually working and shout about it. Organisations have the opportunity to showcase that diverse cultures are winning cultures and we need to learn to celebrate difference. Here at the CIPD we will continue to connect with each other and help to find solutions that will live long after the headlines have faded. We have a commitment to keep the narrative going and provide the tools and support to help organisations and people professionals deal with this issue.
Corporate policies that promote pro‐diversity cultures enhance future innovative efficiency. Researchers investigate how workforce diversity can enhance organisation value.
HR professionals - Potential agents of change!
The workplace is where the diversity of the UK comes together. While paddling upstream to make improvements, how can we get it 'right'?

Netball: Australians get another chance at Silver Ferns
Sport Netball Netball: Australians get another chance at Silver Ferns
2:35pm, Oct 12, 2019
Australia's Liz Watson is ready to tackle the tricky Silver Ferns again. Photo: AAP
Melissa Woods
Australian midcourt star Liz Watson had hoped New Zealand's World Cup win meant she'd seen the last of Laura Langman.
But the ageless Langman is not only playing in Sunday's opening Constellation Cup match in Christchurch, but this week signed to play another year in the Super Netball competition with Sunshine Coast.
"I thought she'd retire and I'd have a bit of a break from her," Watson joked.
Watson actually credits 33-year-old Langman for making her a better player, with the Victorian last year recognised with the award as Australia's best netballer.
"I actually debuted with the Vixens against Laura back in the day and we've had some good battles along the way, but I've learnt so much off her," Watson, 25, said.
"She's definitely brought out my best game from having to learn how to play against her in tight games – just seeing how she steps up to take it on."
The Diamonds are out for revenge after that one-point World Cup loss and are desperate to keep the Constellation Cup, which they held for the past six years.
They have two Tests in New Zealand followed by one in Sydney and Perth.
Watson said the pain of the loss was still keenly felt, with Australian coach Lisa Alexander in no rush to sweep it aside.
"When we first got to Christchurch, Lisa read out a bit of a theme for the tour and that's that our opponents are going to be the world champs for the next four years," the vice-captain said.
"To hear it like that it's like 'wow it's so true, we've got to wait four years to earn back that world championship title'.
But we are still ranked world No.1 and we want to show why, and this is an opportunity for us to show that."
With four new faces joining the squad, selection in wide open in Christchurch, which Watson said was a positive thing.
She has a new midcourt threat in Lightning's Laura Scherian, who could become the oldest ever Diamonds debutant at age 31.
"Lisa's made it pretty clear it will be made on current training form, and that gives everyone that bit more motivation and competitiveness amongst the group which is healthy.
"I love the fact that we pick our team based on current form and those players deserve to be here."
