Walking the path to freedom can be a difficult journey. There are many obstacles to overcome both inside and outside of ourselves. We want to remind you that there are many badass women who have walked this path before you! Here are some of our favorites badass women from history herstory.
Writer. Actress. Professor. Civil Rights Activist. Throughout her life, Maya Angelou moved past discrimination and racial prejudices to become one of the most recognized faces of activism, performance, and authorship of her generation. She rose to prominence at the age of 17 with the publication of her world-renowned memoir, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sing. This work became the first non-fiction bestseller written by an African-American woman, and sparked her career as a writer and performer. Angelou performed with James Earl Jones, Cicely Tyson, and Lou Gossett Jr. during her career, and her work on Georgia, Georgia, Look Away, and Roots won countless awards and accolades. She spoke at former president Bill Clinton's inauguration where she recited "On the Pulse of the Morning", one of her most famous pieces. Her legacy and work stands as a testament for the presence and power she held.
Eleanor Roosevelt is one of the most famous first-ladies of the United States due to her status as an activist and a diplomat. When she was 15 years old, she attended Allenwood Academy and met Marie Souvestre, who deeply influenced her feminist paradigm. After marrying Franklin D. Roosevelt, she sought fulfillment through her public presence by encouraging her husband to run for governor and spoke for him on his behalf. Throughout her career, Eleanor was seen as controversial because of her outspoken nature, decisions to publicly disagree with her husband's policies, and strong stance on racial discrimination. After her death, Eleanor was regarded "the object of almost universal respect".
Aung San Suu Kyi is an opposition politician and chairperson of the National League for Democracy from Burma. Taking influence from Mahatma Gandhi, Aung focused on the path of non-violence in her political career. During the late 1980s, an uprising calling for a democratic government occurred, and she was placed under house arrest. Even though she was offered freedom if she left Burma, Aung refused. During her arrest, she began to focus on Buddhist meditation and emphasized love and compassion in her writings. Aung was under house arrest for 15 years, and was not released until November 2010. She has since stated her intent for running for president in 2015, pending approval from at least one military leader. In 2014, Forbes Magazine named her one of the most influential women in the world.
Harriet Tubman was an extraordinary woman during the American Civil War. Harriet was born into slavery in 1822, and escaped from Maryland to Philadelphia at the age of 27. After her personal escape, she returned to the plantation and rescued her family, and continued to return for the other slaves. She would travel by night along the Underground Railroad, and never lost a passenger on her countless journeys. Despite warrants for her capture, Harriet persevered and helped newly freed slaves find work in Canada. Once the American Civil War began, she quickly joined the Union Army efforts. She started as a nurse and cook, but soon after became a spy and armed scout. Harriet was the first woman to lead an armed expedition: the raid on Combahee River where 700 slaves were freed. After the war, she became an activist in the suffragist movement until the end of her life. Her strength and courage made her an icon of American freedom.
Joan of Arc was a hero to France and an extraordinary woman. Joan was born to a family of peasants in northern France and from an early age, she received visions of Saint Catherine, Saint Margaret, and Archangel Michael. Her visions spoke and encouraged her to support King Charles VII's attempts to recover France. She was sent into battle and rose to prominence once the siege of Orleans was lifted after nine days. When she was 18 years old, she was captured by the English. She was tried, found guilty, and burned at the stake. After her death, she was declared a savior of France, and a martyr. She was canonized as a Roman Catholic saint in 1920.
Boudicca was a Celtic Queen of the Iceni tribe during the Roman rule in Britain. Her husband, Prasutagus, divided his territory between his daughters and Nero, the emperor of Rome. However, after his death, Roman officials claimed the entirety of his estate. Boudicca fiercely objected and she was flogged and her daughters were raped as punishment. Boudicca quickly rallied support from her tribe and led a revolt against the Roman presence in Britain. She left three major cities in ruins and over 80,000 Roman citizens were killed. Despite her later defeat, Boudicca still stands as a testament to the valor and strength that women possess.
Georgia O'Keeffe's work as an artist is undeniably remarkable, and her talent changed the face of American art. After sending her sketches to Alfred Stieglitz, her work was regarded as the "purest, finest, sincerest things that had entered" his gallery "in a long while". After several years of correspondence, O'Keeffe moved to New York to pursue her career, and her love for Stieglitz. She continued to create her flower canvases and southwestern landscapes, and her husband proudly showcased her finest work. After Stieglitz passed away, she moved to New Mexico where the landscape inspired some of her most influential work, such as Black Cross, New Mexico (1929). After her death, O'Keeffe was regarded as the mother of American modernism.
Cleopatra was the last pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt. As with Egyptian custom, Cleopatra gained sole leadership as the pharaoh during her rule. As the Roman Republic began to transition to an Empire, she gained the favor of Julius Caesar. Their illustrious relationship solidified Cleopatra's standing: Caesar chose to alter his plan of annexing Egypt to instead supporting Cleopatra's claim as ruler. She elevated her and Caesar's son to co-ruler, showcasing the joint power of the Ptolemaic dynasty and the powerhouses of Rome. After Caesar was assassinated, Cleopatra aligned herself with Mark Antony, another prominent leader of Rome and close ally to Caesar. Although she and Antony were defeated, she still stands as a testament to the power that women have held throughout time.
Mother Theresa Was a world famous member of the Roman Catholic Church. She spent much of her time in India as a sister and missionary. Mother Theresa was given many honors and awards throughout her life, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. She was beatified in 2003 as the "Blessed Teresa of Calcutta". She worked to create the Missionaries of Charity which consists of 4,500 sisters and is active in over 130 countries. Despite the controversy she faced throughout her life, the dedication she showcased for her charitable actions is inspirational.
You are a badass woman! There is no one else like you in the world. Love yourself for simply being who you are. There is nothing more rewarding than finding your inner truth and expressing it in the world through your actions, words, and being. If you are holding back on yourself, give yourself permission to walk the path to freedom! Only you hold the key to this sacred journey. Find inspiration from the women who have walked the path before you and know that their strength also resides in you.

Australian EPA partners with Dell Boomi for IoT-driven sustainability
Jacques-Pierre (JP) Dumas
Dell Boomi (Boomi) has announced that Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) will use the Boomi integration platform to synchronise its full IT transformation.
Using Boomi, EPA will streamline its cloud-first strategy, enabling it to capitalise on the Internet of Things (IoT) by incorporating data from sensors, drones and satellites.
EPA is Victoria's environmental regulator and its purpose is to prevent and reduce harm from pollution and waste.
Following an Independent Inquiry into its role and powers, and the Victorian Government's support for the Inquiry's recommendations, EPA initiated a complete overhaul of its IT systems to establish digital data and analytics capabilities.
In 2017, it kickstarted its transition to a cloud-first strategy, implementing a series of new, best-in-breed applications to succeed its outdated 'all-in-one' environment.
EPA's IT transformation is part of a comprehensive $182.4 million investment from the Victorian Government to transform EPA into a world-class regulator equipped to address current and future challenges.
The Boomi integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) will replace a series of on-premise middleware connectors to allow EPA to scale as required without straining IT resources.
The Boomi platform has a low-code architecture, making it easy to implement and manage integrations even in the most complex and dispersed IT environments.
When organisations are deploying smart lampposts or putting sensors into their buildings, for example, EPA will be able to combine data generated by these devices with satellite and drone feeds by using Boomi to build a holistic picture of the state of the environment in Victoria.
With this extensive visibility, the organisation will be able to assess hazards and develop the most appropriate solutions, such as waste removal strategies in the case of spills, or tailored advice to land managers and local councils.
Dell Boomi APJ MD Michael Evans says, "EPA is at the start of a long-term and large-scale transformation that will completely revolutionise the way it manages data, and consequently the environment.
"By migrating to the cloud-based Boomi platform, it will have a linking mechanism that operates with the same speed and reliability as its modernised IT environment, and its IoT objectives."
"This provides EPA with the flexibility to continuously expand its data analytics capabilities by integrating data reliably across its organisation."

Land of the wanderers
10,000 of America's restaurants are expected to close in the next three weeks
About 17% of America's restaurants have already permanently closed this year, with thousands more on the brink according to a new report.
The National Restaurant Association is publicly pleading with Congress to pass new stimulus to help the industry that has been damaged by the pandemic. The group said Monday that 10,000 restaurants could close in the next three weeks, in addition to the 110,000 that have already shuttered in 2020.
The group released results from a survey of 6,000 restaurant operators, revealing that 87% of full-service restaurants reported an average 36% drop in revenue and 83% expects sales to be "even worse" over the next three months as the virus continues to lash the United States.
"In short, the restaurant industry simply cannot wait for relief any longer," said Sean Kennedy, executive vice president for the group, said in a release. He advocates for a "true compromise" between the competing Democrat and Republican proposals and hopes for a larger stimulus package in 2021 under the incoming Biden administration.
CNN Business' dashboard tracking America's recovery shows a steep drop in restaurant reservations -- down 70% during the pandemic. They recovered in September, but have fallen once again since.
A bipartisan stimulus proposal that includes an extension of the Paycheck Protection Program, which a group that includes Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia wants, could be unveiled this week. However, holdups over other issues means it's unclear if a deal will be reached.
Another measure, called the Restaurants Act of 2020, was passed by the Democratic-controlled House in October as part of a $2.2 trillion stimulus relief package. But it has not been taken up by the Republican-controlled Senate and is unclear if that will be part of any final relief package.
Restrictions on indoor dining capacity in some US states and other lockdowns stipulations, like curfews, have ravaged the industry. A number of national chains filed for bankruptcy this year, including Ruby Tuesday's and California Pizza Kitchen, which has resulted in the closure of hundreds of locations.
This week, a Los Angeles business owner who was forced to shut down her restaurant said she felt restaurants and other small businesses are being unfairly targeted by California's new and stricter stay-at-home order.

Yes, God will forgive you of sin when you meet certain conditions. Review this Bible study to get the details.
I (God) will forgive you for the wicked things you did, and I will not remember your sins anymore.
Can you believe that God will forgive you for the wrongful things you did and are doing? Fortunately, the answer is YES—God will forgive you—He is a God of forgiveness. If you have not done so, please review "God forgives you" before continuing with this powerful Bible study. One way to define the word forgive is to reduce, decrease and eventually eliminate a negative feeling towards another.
The Pharisees and Jesus use the Greek word aphiemi (af-ee'-ay-mee) in various forms: forgive, 'are forgiven' (Luke 5:23 KJV uses "be forgiven"), 'to forgive' and 'is forgiven'. Take your time with this Bible study especially in getting to know the meaning and proper use of aphiemi as it is applied to forgiveness. NOTE: The examples used here do not present the conditions that accompany God's forgiveness to mankind, so please do not stop—continue this lesson to gain a better understanding of how God will forgive you.
If you have more time please continue, if you don't have time for more, please jump to the end to give feedback in the comment area/poll. Go to end.
God will forgive you when you repent.
"Deeds worthy of repentance" what does it mean? Take a look at this link for a few versions of Acts 26:20 that may help. I am working on a few studies to help us understand what it means to repent.
♥ Question for 'God will forgive you part-1': Do you realize that Jesus died so you can receive God's forgiveness?
God wants you to hear His message. I apologize to anyone that has been hurt or offended by God's people. We are not (should not be) judging people when we present God's word. As a representative for Christ I ask that you consider your life as it is.
Are you at least a little curious about God and what it is like to be His child? Each person that says they are a Christian at some point in their life had to realize they were not living a life that is pleasing to God. In order to receive forgiveness, all must repent—with Godly sorrow remembering that God knows our hearts (Psalms 44:21).
Are you guilty of any of the above? If you want to change the way you live—if you are deeply sorry for the wrong you have done, God will forgive you just ask.
the kindness of God leads you to repentance—to change your heart and life—to change the way you think and act—turn to God.
♥ Question for 'God will forgive you part-2': Will you give God a chance to prove He will forgive you?
Some if not many teach and believe the water baptism is a public display of your acceptance of Jesus as personal savior. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 reminds us that we Christians were guilty of sinful acts before water baptism—"but you have been washed"; supported by Hebrews 10:22 "…our bodies washed with pure water." and 2 Peter 2:9 (NKJV) "…cleansed from his old sins" [read 1 Corinthians 6:1-11; Hebrews 10:19-25; 2 Peter 2:4-11].
♥ Question for 'God will forgive you part-3': Will you accept the sacrifice that Jesus made for you?
The phrase 'we confess' in 1 John 1:9 is from the Greek word homologeo (hom-ol-og-eh'-o) meaning to confess, i.e. to admit or declare one's self guilty of what one is accused of. The act of confession of sin is to freely admit or acknowledge that we have sinned, then our faithful (trustworthy), just and righteous God will forgive.
♥ Question for 'God will forgive you part-4': Have you confessed your sins?
Everyone who puts his trust in Christ will be made right with God.
Jesus made God's forgiveness of sins possible, if not for the death on the cross forgiveness is impossible. Christ didn't enter the holy place made by human hands, but into heaven itself, so that he now appears in God's presence for us. Christ did not have to offer himself many times. He wasn't like a high priest who goes into the most holy place each year to offer the blood of an animal. But He made one eternal sacrifice; the shedding of His blood to satisfy the need of a blood sacrifice to bring forgiveness of sin.
♥ Question for 'God will forgive you part-5': Wouldn't you like to be right with God?
When you work, you earn the payment that you get. We cannot do any type of work to earn the grace-gift of God's favor or forgiveness. It is by faith, in the sacrifice of Jesus that we become right with God (justified), i.e., our sins are forgiven because Jesus paid the price to redeem us. In Romans 4:8 Paul quotes Psalms 32:1-2 and I recommend that you read Romans 4:1-5:11 and 10:3-9, Galatians 2:15-16 and Psalms 51.
The day will come when God will judge every person bringing eternal punishment for the unforgiven sinner (Matthew 25:31-46; Jude 1:12-15 and 2 Peter 3:1-13) and eternal life for the righteous. A day when everyone will get what they deserve according to the way they lived this life. For those whom God judges 'guilty'—"he who puts in the seed of the flesh will of the flesh get the reward of death". For those whom God judges 'not guilty'—"he who puts in the seed of the Spirit will of the Spirit get the reward of eternal life".
♥ Question for 'God will forgive you part-6': "Not guilty", is that God's verdict for you?
When is God's 'forgiveness of sins' applied?
When you repent or confess?
By believing or having faith in God and the death of Jesus?
When you are water baptized?
Romans 6:3-11 All of us were baptized into Christ Jesus. Don't you know that we were baptized into his death? 4 By being baptized, we were buried with Christ into his death. Christ has been raised from the dead by the Father's glory. And like Christ we also can live a new life.
5 By being baptized, we have been joined with him in a death like his. So we will certainly also be joined with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that what we used to be was nailed to the cross with him. That happened so our bodies that were ruled by sin would lose their power. So we are no longer slaves of sin. 7 That's because those who have died have been set free from sin.
8 We died with Christ. So we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We know that Christ was raised from the dead and will never die again. Death doesn't control him anymore. 10 When he died, he died once and for all time. He did this to break the power of sin. Now that he lives, he lives in the power of God.
Hopefully, by reviewing all of the scriptures provided in this series (parts 1-7), you already have the answer. Were you expecting the answer? Have you taken the time to read the scriptures included with each post (part 1-7)? Oh my, you did know that this was a bible study series, right?
♥ Question for 'God will forgive you part-7': Did you study the scriptures provided in this series?

Long-time Chemistry Research Course Continues to Light a Spark for First-Year Students
Project Lab, a decades-old, invitation-only course, remains a chemistry department highlight that gives undergraduates an early and holistic view of what it means to explore scientific questions through research.
By: Sarah Wojcik Tuesday, December 7, 2021 02:08 PM

Muhlenberg chemistry majors are invited to reflect on what experiences were among the most successful during their years here Professor Christine Ingersoll said there's one course mentioned again and again.
"The thing that comes up, year after year, is Project Lab," she said. "We'll hear, 'My top experience was Project Lab' or 'Three years ago when I was in Project Lab, that's what helped me get hooked.' It's one thing that we're really committed to continuing as a tradition and as an experience for our students."
It's understandable that the invitation-only course would make such an impression to those who had the opportunity to participate.
Project Lab is an open-ended lab experience for a small class of first-year students selected by faculty from the General Chemistry I course. Second-semester students are invited because of their academic standing, curiosity and interest in research and fascination with chemistry or a closely related field.
Students work in small groups where they experience what Ingersoll called a "holistic approach" of the chemistry research process in a compressed semester-long form: literature research, experimental work and finally the writing or presentation of their results and findings.
Many of the chemistry department faculty have taught at least one semester of the course, which has been around for decades, with themes that vary from year to year.
Hannah Morris '23, a chemistry major with a mathematics and music double minor, hadn't heard about Project Lab before the invitation arrived in her inbox in the 2020 Spring semester. The exclusivity of the course, typically capped at about 12 students, caught her immediate attention.
"I was all in," Morris recalls. "It sounded like an amazing opportunity."
Giulia Gerschel '23, a biology major with a minor in French, also saw the invitation as a challenge worth exploring. Gerschel and Morris knew one another from orientation, but they teamed up during Project Lab and have since become close friends.
Encouraged to unearth a research topic of their own, Morris and Gerschel examined the chemical reactions that make bleach work, particularly when it comes to removing red stains like blood.
And though the group would endure a particularly difficult spring semester—COVID-19 soon emerged and forced students home for the remainder of the year—both Morris and Gerschel insist that the early hands-on time in the lab helped them develop a more informed relationship with experimental science.
For Morris, the opportunity lit a spark, launching her into more research work starting in the summer of 2020 and continuing ever since. Morris said Project Lab helped her learn early, and in a less stressful environment, how failure is part of science.
"The frustration that I felt [when an experiment didn't go as planned] in Project Lab has helped me in other areas," Morris said. "It's something you learn from and it's not uncommon. It was good to get that exposure in the first year."
Gerschel said she learned more about what kind of research and experimental work she was most interested in. Project Lab, she said, helped her narrow down her interests and career path in a way that could have taken longer without it. And though Gerschel did not end up pursuing chemistry, she has no regrets about the course.
"If I was given that same decision, I would say yes a thousand times over," said Gerschel of a Project Lab invitation. "I really don't think the goal of Project Lab was to have groundbreaking research. The goal of it is to see like, okay, how do I deal with problem solving? How do I deal with working in a group? I think it's more focused on giving you a first glimpse into research."
For Spring '22, the course will earn students an Integrative Learning requirement. Professor Ingersoll is teaming up with Chemistry Lecturer and Instrument Specialist Kate Herrera, Ph.D., for a course focused on exploring environmental conservation restoration. The course will be conducted through a partnership with the Lehigh Gap Nature Center in Lehigh Township. Typically capped at 12 students, this year's course will be open to up to 15 students and will involve the first official community partnership in Project Lab history, according to Ingersoll.
Chemistry Lecturer Silvia Porello led the course for the last two years and was the professor for Morris and Gerschel. Porello's favorite part of the course are the bonds that form between students and instructors. Porello theorizes that these connections are so strong because they're built in an environment where success is not guaranteed.
"These are experiments that I haven't tested before. So sometimes they work and sometimes they don't," Porello said. "So it's very interesting in that sense because they get a real experience of what it is to be in the lab: failing over and over again on your experiments until you find the right conditions and one day it might all work out. And then they're happy and they're dancing. It usually comes to that."
Ingersoll said the camaraderie of the chemistry department is a naturally occurring phenomenon in the major. But Project Lab helps it blossom early.
"Chemistry is hard. It was hard for me," Ingersoll said. "I don't know anyone who is like 'Oh chemistry! That's easy!' So it's very helpful to have, in their very first year, these connections begin to form. And these bonds are not just with each other—they happen with the faculty too. We all get closer."

Burlington Route In Focus: Granger Country Photography of Russell Lee & Esther Bubley
ISBN / Book Number: 9780996696326
Burlington Route In Focus
Granger Country Photography of Russell Lee & Esther Bubley
By James Reisdorff, Michael Bartels.
Softcover, 8.5x11", 104 pages, b/w photos. 2016.
"Railroads have a unique impact on the places we live. They stir commerce and profoundly impact business, but most importantly, railroads shape communities.
"The management of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad (CB&Q), popularly known as the 'Burlington Route,' was acutely aware of the impact that their railroad had on the region it served. In 1948, the CB&Q commissioned professional photojournalists Russell Lee and Esther Bubley to document the influence of the Burlington Route on the communities it traversed.
"This title is a study of Granger Country: A Pictorial Social History of the Burlington Railroad, a company-sponsored publication from 1949 that originally included a small portion of the hundreds of images produced by Lee and Bubley for the CB&Q. This new book features some of their best black and white photography from that project. The entire Granger Country collection now resides at the Newberry Library in Chicago, which has graciously allowed authors Reisdorff and Bartels to take readers on a journey around the post-World War II Burlington system by telling the stories behind the images.
"The Lee and Bubley photographs illustrate the people, places and machines that were intrinsic to the CB&Q of the 1940s. They show an era when steam power still chuffed across the Plains, when "train time" was still the epoch of any community's day. See how new Zephyr streamliners and diesel-electric locomotives were then securing their foothold on the Burlington Route, and take a ride Everywhere West through Granger Country."

Working with the cabinet company, Peterson was able to build a space for everything in her kitchen, including her one-of-a-kind island.
Speaking of art, Schuver directed us to her wall of unique pieces, decorated with art collected over 20 years of travel and adventure.

Starmark Cabinetry designer Mary Schubert didn't have to travel far to find her favorite room. Between the freshly baked cupcakes and the 1950s kitchen gear, we could see why.
Specializing in cabinets, it wasn't surprising to see a unique mix of colors in the woods, which happen to be Schubert's pride and joy.

In the presence of big transformers or machinery, e.g. jet engines, one is exposed to a high and especially continuous noise level. The emitted - primarily low frequency - noise is only attenuated insufficiently by means of the usually passive earmuffs. Hence, in aircraft cockpits for example, the noise of the engines is also reduced actively by using so called anti-noise. This technology is commonly known as "Active Noise Control" (ANC) and has recently also been introduced to the consumer market as noise cancelling head phones.
However, available ANC solutions are either spatially fixed or require the carriage of respective mobile devices (e.g. head phones). The aim of the recent project is to overcome these limitations. For this, an adaptive feedforward active noise control is designed that automatically creates a local quiet zone at a desired position. To realize that, the virtual microphone technique is used, combined with a camera tracking based adaption of the microphone's effective position to shift the quiet zone. At the same time, the achievable local noise attenuation essentially depends on the parametric modeling of the sound propagation paths (the control paths), which spatially vary. This is primarily due to the enclosed space acoustics, which cause sound reflections and this way affect the path identification adversely.

Picuris Pottery of the Picuris Pueblo, of North Central New Mexico, alongside the Rio Grande River Valley, was named, 'Pikuria,' meaning - "those who paint," by Spanish colonizer Juan de Oñate. Picuris is located approximately twenty-five miles southeast of Taos, New Mexico, in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Picuris was once the largest in population of the New Mexico's Eight Northern Pueblos, but today is one of the smallest Tewa speaking Pueblos, with approximately two-thousand inhabitants. Like Taos, Picuris Pueblo was influenced by Plains Indian culture, particularly the Apaches. Picuris pottery is often made in the form of functional micaceous clay vessels, and are recognized by their beautiful, almost metallic shimmer in appearance. This type of pottery is utilitarian by design, and usually is not decorated or painted on the outside of the vessel, but beautiful shapes, micaceous clay, and fire-cloud reflect the beauty of an ancient art form that has been carefully preserved.
Kimberly Riley Honyumptewa is from Laguna Pueblo and married to Aaron Honyumptewa who is Hopi/Picuris. She learned to make pottery from her mother-in-law Caroline Simbolo Cine in the traditional Picuris style and using native clay from the area. Each piece is coil built and traditionally fired. This wedding vase is a creative shape with the twisted handle and the organic flow of the spouts. The vase has a darker coloration from the fire clouds but the mica shows through beautifully! The vase is signed on the bottom. Kimberly's work continues to evolve in creating more dynamic Picuris pottery!

Victory or death. This is what confronts the peasants of the Ukraine at the present moment in history. But we shall not all perish. There are too many of us. We are humanity. So we must win — win not so that we may follow the example of past years and hand over our fate to some new master, but to take it in our own hands and conduct our lives according to our own will and our own conception of truth.
The months of February and March [1918] were a time for distributing livestock and equipment seized from the landowners in the autumn of 1917 and for dividing up the landed estates among the volunteers, the peasants and workers organized in agricultural communes. That this was a decisive moment, both in the construction of a new life and in the defense construction, was apparent to all the toilers of the district. Former line soldiers, under the leadership of the Revolutionary Committee occupied with the transfer into a communal fund of all the equipment and livestock from the landlords' estates and from the wealthy smallholders, leaving their owners two pairs of horses, one or two cows (depending on the size of the family), a plow, a seeder, a mower and a pitchfork, while the peasants went into the fields to finish the job of redistributing the land begun the previous autumn. At the same time, some of the peasants and workers, having already organized themselves into rural communes in the autumn, left their villages with their families and occupied the former, landlords' estates, ignoring the fact that the Red Guard detachments of the Bolshevik-Left SR bloc had, in accordance with their treaty with the Austrian and German emperors, already evacuated the Ukraine, leaving it to fight with its small revolutionary-military formations an unequal battle against regular Austrian and German units assisted by detachments of the Ukrainian Central Rada. They settled there, nevertheless, losing no time in preparing their forces: part to carry on the spring work in the communes, and part to form battle detachments to defend the revolution and its gains, which the revolutionary toilers, if not everywhere, then in many districts, had won by themselves step by step, thereby setting an example for the whole country.
The agricultural communes were in most cases organized by peasants, though sometimes their composition was a mixture of peasants and workmen. Their organization was based on the equality and solidarity of the members. All members of these communes — both men and women applied themselves willingly to their tasks, whether in the field or the household. The kitchens and dining rooms were communal. But any members of the commune who wanted to cook separately for themselves and their children, or to take food from the communal kitchen and eat it in their own quarters, met with no objection from the other members of the commune.
Every member of the commune, or even a whole group of members, might arrange matters of food as they thought best, as long as they informed the commune in advance, so that all the members would know about it and could make the necessary preparations in the communal kitchen and storehouse. From experience it was necessary for the members of the commune to rise in good time in the morning to tend the oxen, horses, an other animals, and to perform other kinds of work. A member could at any time absent himself from the commune as long as he gave advance notice of this to the comrades with whom he worked most closely on communal tasks, so that the latter could cope with the work during his absence. This was the case during working periods. But during periods of rest (Sunday was considered a day of rest) all members of the commune took it in turns to go off on trips.
The management of each commune was conducted by a general meeting of all its members. After these meetings, each member, having his appointed task, knew what changes to make in it and so on. Only the matter of schooling in the commune was not precisely defined, because the communes did not want to resurrect the old type of school. As a new method they settled on the anarchist school of F. Ferrer [1] (about which reports were frequently read and brochures distributed by the Group of Anarchist-Communists), but not having properly trained people for this they sought through the Group of Anarchist-Communists to obtain better educated comrades from the towns and only as a last resort to invite to their communal schools teachers who knew only the traditional methods of instruction.
There were four such agricultural communes within a three- or four-mile radius of Gulyai-Polye. In the whole district, however, there were many. But I shall dwell on these four communes because I myself played a direct part in organizing them. In all of them the first fruitful beginnings took place under my supervision, or, in a few cases, in consultation with me. To one of them, perhaps the largest, I gave my physical labor two days a week, during the spring sowing in the fields behind a plow or seeder, and before and after sowing in domestic work on the plantations or in the machine shop and so on. The remaining four days of the week I worked in Gulyai-Polye in the Group of Anarchist-Communists and in the district Revolutionary Committee. This was demanded of me by members of the group and by all the communes. It was demanded too by the very fact of revolution, which required the grouping and drawing together of revolutionary forces against the counter-revolution advancing from the west in the form of German and Austro-Hungarian monarchist armies and the Ukrainian Central Rada.
In all of the communes there were some peasant anarchists, but the majority of the members were not anarchists. Nevertheless, in their communal life they felt an anarchist solidarity such as manifests itself only in the practical life of ordinary toilers who have not yet tasted the political poison of the cities, with their atmosphere of deception and betrayal that smothers even many who call themselves anarchists. Each commune consisted of ten families of peasants and workers, totaling a hundred, two hundred or three hundred members. These communes took as much land as they were able to work with their own labor. Livestock and farm equipment were allotted by decision of the district congresses of land committees.
And so the free toilers of the communes set to work, to the tune of free and joyous songs which reflected the spirit of the revolution and of those fighters who prophesied it and died for it or who lived and remained steadfast in the struggle for its 'higher justice', which must triumph over injustice, grow strong, and become the beacon of human life. They sowed their fields and cultivated their gardens, confident in themselves and in their firm resolve not to allow the return of those who had never labored on the land but who had owned it by the laws of the state and were seeking to own it again.
The inhabitants of the villages and hamlets bordering on these communes, who were less politically conscious and not yet liberated from their servility to the kulaks, envied the communards and repeatedly expressed the desire to take away all the livestock and equipment that they had obtained from the former landlords and distribute it among themselves. 'Let the free communards buy it back from us,' they would say. But this impulse was severely condemned by an absolute majority of the toilers at their village assemblies and at all the congresses. For the majority of the toiling population saw in the organization of rural communes the healthy germ of a new social life which, as the revolution triumphed and approached its creative climax, would grow and provide a model of a free and communal form of life, if not for the whole country, then at least for the hamlets and villages of our district.
The free communal order was accepted by the inhabitants of our district as the highest form of social justice. For the time being, however, the mass of people did not go over to it, citing as their reasons the advance of the German and Austrian armies, their own lack of organization, and their inability to defend this order against the new 'revolutionary' and counter-revolutionary authorities. For this reason the toiling population of the district limited their real revolutionary activity to supporting in every way those bold spirits among them who had settled on the old estates and organized their personal and economic life on free communal lines.
[1] Francisco Ferrer (1859–1909), founder of the Modern School, which fostered a spirit of independence and spontaneity among the pupils. Ferrer, a respected libertarian, was court-martialed and executed in 1909 on charges of plotting against the Spanish king and fomenting rebellion in Barcelona.

Now that you understand how golf handicaps are calculated, you might be interested in obtaining your own handicap index. In the United States, the USGA controls all aspects of this process through two entities: an authorized golf association and a golf club.
Authorized golf associations usually have jurisdiction over numerous golf clubs in a certain district, region or state. Georgia, for example, has one authorized golf association, the Georgia State Golf Association, which has more than 330 member clubs. Both the authorized golf association and the golf club must be licensed by the USGA to utilize the USGA Handicap System.
To ensure that the handicapping system remains fair, only post full and accurate information, preferably in person and immediately after you finish the round. Selectively posting scores to skew your handicap up or down is a violation of USGA rules and will result in a penalty administered by the club's Handicap Committee. If unposted scores are unusually low, the committee will post a score equal to the player's lowest round; if unreported scores are unusually high, the committee will post a score equal to the player's highest round. A player who continually misreports or fails to report scores may have his or her handicap index withdrawn.
Once you have posted five scores, the club can issue you a handicap index. This number will be printed on a card along with your name, authorized golf association, golf club, issue date, number of scores posted and score history. Your club's authorized golf association will revise your scoring history and handicap index periodically, usually once a month or once every two weeks. Your index is valid at any USGA-rated golf course, so get out and enjoy the links!

Why 5G Rollout Is Causing Aviation Problems In The United States But Not In Europe
Tony Joseph 1 year ago 2 min read
All promised him to be very happy with the deployment of his new in the United States 5G network: the so-called C-band promised to overcome the limitations of the mmWave band, but its implementation there has created real chaos By Possible disruption with aircraft altimeters,
the funny thing is that Europe has never had such a problem, and the deployment of these networks in that band has gone smoothly. What makes a deployment in Europe different from a deployment in the United States? Let's talk about frequencies.
your frequencies are higher than mine
Uses 5G technology different frequency bands, but the one that promised more speed was the millimeter band, mmWave. also known as,
The problem with this technology is that its coverage is often limited to very limited areas, and That's where the C-band comes in, notwithstanding less able In consumption, it provides greater coverage and allows wider deployment of these high-speed mobile networks.
However, the deployment of this band has varied in the United States and Europe, and the main focus lies in the frequency range used: while Frequencies between 3.7 and 3.98 GHz have been used in the US.In the Europa, some of the lower and slower frequencies, ranging from 3.4 to 3.8 GHz, have been used.
That's where the problem arises: the altitude of aircraft such as the Boeing 777 that can be obstructed by these signals Use a frequency range from 4.2 to 4.4 GHz,
The US C-band is very close to that frequency range, and This is what caused alarm among airlines, which threatened to cancel their flights if the deployment continued. Operators such as AT&T and Verizon limited deployment, for example to now include calls.buffer zone"("buffer zone") in which the C-band is not operational.
See also US refuses to accept Iran continues to stall talks on nuclear deal
That fear doesn't exist in Europe. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) indicated on CNN that "we have received technical data from European manufacturers". Do not produce conclusive evidence that gives us immediate security concerns Now".
Countries like France have gone even further, and in their deployment near airports They have intentionally hooked up towers with 5G antennas To limit their possible interference with the aircraft.
They did it as a preventive measure, and they haven't had a problem With deployment of 5G network in C-band. It remains to be seen how carriers like Verizon or AT&T ultimately address the problem, if at all.

Details of the individuals who ultimately control UK companies will be recorded in a new "people with significant control" register - to be known as the "PSC register" - which was passed into law by the UK Parliament on 26 March 2015. The law is part of a global move by governments and other organisations towards greater transparency in corporate structures, with the aim of combatting money laundering, terrorist financing and tax evasion.
Every UK company (other than those which are publicly traded) will have to maintain a PSC register. The register will name and contain information on individuals who ultimately own or control more than 25% of the company's shares or voting rights, or who otherwise exercise significant control over the company or its management.

Cause data is not available for people with mild vision impairment.
Also, there is limited information on the causes of vision impairment and blindness for people under 50 years of age.
More standardisation and certainty of the causes of vision impairment and blindness would be beneficial in future research.
Age-related Macular Degeneration: Global summary
The age-standardised prevalence of blindness due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) declined by almost 30% from 1990 to 2020, which was likely associated with the widespread clinical introduction of anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) therapy for exudative AMD.
Since most patients with AMD show the currently untreatable non-exudative form that can progress to atrophy of the foveal centre (geographic atrophy), the development of treatments and prophylactic measures specifically against non-exudative AMD are required.
As an example, the prevalence of blindness and vision loss due to AMD and disease burden increased significantly in China from 1990 to 2019, especially for women and middle-aged and elderly population (Zhang et al., 2021).
It's important to also note that for every person that experiences vision impairment and blindness from AMD, there are many more living with early stage AMD who need comprehensive and integrated people centred eye care services to prevent vision loss.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease affecting the central area of the retina (macula) at the back of the eye. It causes a gradual deterioration of the macula, usually over many years, as the retinal cells die off and are not regenerated.

The Brush City Council had a short meeting and work session on Monday, March 11, that included a presentation on the proposed community solar garden by Pivot Energy.
During the meeting on March 11, Finance Director Joanne Gosselink presented the final settlement with Buildings By Design, the company the city contracted with for the fire department building construction.
Gosselink said the project is "100 percent complete." The council members present voted unanimously to approve it.
The Brush Volunteer Fire Department, Brush Rural Fire Protection District and the City of Brush held the opening of the new building last Saturday, March 9.
Councilmember Dan Scalise spoke briefly on the opening.
"Being there for their 'ribbon-cutting' - so to speak - was really very nice. They had done a wonderful job and the building was great. We should be very proud as a community of the facility we now have," Scalise said.
City Clerk Andrea Strand also highlighted the upcoming Morgan County Economic Development Corporation's annual meeting on March 21 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Country Steak Out in Fort Morgan.
After the public meeting ended, the council began their work session, with Business Development Manager Erik Bruner from Pivot Energy presenting on Community Solar Subscriptions.
Pivot Energy was selected to construct a Community Solar Garden within Morgan County, Bruner explained on Monday.
The City of Brush has been working with Bruner and others at Pivot Energy to bring the community solar garden to a subdivision within the Brush Agripark.
Bruner explained the proposed solar garden would include single axis tracker solar panels that would follow the sun to collect more solar energy.
Bruner explained that Pivot Energy owns the panels and the environmental credit while the subscribers pays and receive credits for the use of the energy. For the energy amount subscribers purchase, Bruner explained that they receive credits on their energy bill and reduce overall energy costs.
Bruner explained that the plan for the output total of this proposed community solar garden will be about 2000 kilowatts per year. As with their other community solar gardens, Bruner said they are requiring at least ten subscribers.
Bruner discussed some of the distinct benefits of this subscription, including a "cash flow positive from day 1," along with payment only for the energy used and coverage of operations and maintenance of the solar panels by Pivot Energy, not the subscribers themselves.
Bruner said they are mainly targeting municipalities and school districts within the county. He said Weldon Valley School district has already agreed to be a subscriber.
If the City of Brush decided to become an 'anchor subscriber,' Bruner explained, they would sign up to use 40 percent of the garden total, or about 800 kW per year.
Bruner says he has heard from the city that the City of Brush has used about 1200 kW per year in the past.
Bruner said subscribers would be committing to subscribing for the 'life of the garden' or about 20 years.
Pivot Energy is still working with the City of Brush to finalize the lease agreement for the community solar garden. Bruner emphasized their goal for community engagement in this project if it is completed.
"This project is really community solar in the best way it can be. It's built here, it's operating here and you're recognizing the savings from it," Bruner added.
The council responded positively to the presentation.
Following Bruner's presentation, City Administrator Monty Torres and City Attorney Bo Chapin discussed the status of the solar lease agreement. Torres and Chapin said the work continues and they are closer to completion on the agreement, and are awaiting the legal description to be completed.
The final item on the work session was a quick discussion on the city's building and planning services provider. Torres said they were hoping to switch to RG and Associates in order to facilitate faster and better services for residents and employees.

Israel Has Written Security Agreement with Nusra Front: Iran
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, an advisor to Iranian Parliament Speaker and an influential diplomat, has blamed the Israeli regime for the ongoing tension in Eastern Ghouta, saying the Nusra Front terrorists are trying to ensure Israel's security from inside the Syrian territory.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Amir-Abdollahian pointed to the ongoing developments in Syria's Eastern Ghouta, and said the Israeli regime is to blame for the escalation.
"The Israeli jet was shot down in Syria, and Israelis were terrified. All equations in the region were changed. While certain Israeli officials said it was an accident and won't be repeated, it wasn't an accident and they knew it," he noted.
"The Nusra Front terrorists have a written agreement with Israel to ensure the Zionist regime's security from inside the Syrian territory. Israelis are behind the developments in Eastern Ghouta," he added.
"Syria will from now on give crushing responses to Tel Aviv and its aggressions," he added.
He also noted that the US is totally standing by Israel in this case. "When Nusra Front commanders and other terrorists were being defeated in Eastern Ghouta, they raised the issue of ceasefire and asked the UN to stop the attacks on terrorists."
Amir-Abdollahian also referred to the Turkish operation in Syria's Afrin, and said no country in the region should once again, with any justification, use force and military option.
"All sides must remain committed to supporting political process in Syria, help the Syrian government cleanse the country of terrorists, help the return of refugees and the country's reconstruction," he noted.
"Afrin and Eastern Ghouta developments are in contradiction to regional peace and security," he went on to say.
Stressing that Turkey has concerns about its national security in Afrin, Amir-Abdollahian expressed the hope that all players in Syria would pursue resolution of problems through dialogue.

Applying modern-day technology and materials to bellows—a flexible, pleated chamber to conduct air and keep dirt away from bearings—led Nathan Kane to redesign something that hadn't been modified since its inception in the Bronze Age! Kane was awarded the $30,000 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize in 1997 not only for his inventive talent to improve such a design, but also his dedication to encouraging young inventors via outreach programs.
One summer as a high school student, Kane took on the task of renovating his parent's house in Austin, TX to minimize dust for his father who suffered from respiratory allergies. During his labor, Kane devised an air mask for workers, which consisted of a light retractable air hose that supplies clean air to the eyes, nose and mouth from a blower/filter. This device became the basis for Kane's bellows design, which he developed through computer analysis—creating flexible folding patterns made of plastic that are low cost, less weight and can stretch twice as far as the original design. Other potential applications for his bellows include collapsible containers, expandable shelters and pumps.
Kane has additionally invented the Project-a-Sketch™—an opaque overhead projector that enables children to view their paintings or drawings onto a new type of industrial bearing on a wall. Working in collaboration on other inventions, Kane invented the HydroRail™ with his advisor Professor Alex Slocum—a modular hydrostatic bearing for machine tools; and the Pass-It™ with 1996 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize winner David Levy—a TV remote control designed to be thrown around like a football.
Kane's passion for inventing extends further than the items he designs. Serving as a role model to the local community, he has devoted much of his time encouraging and inspiring young inventors in initiatives such as assisting middle school students in building model solar cars and generating a "Recycler Contest" for high schools.
Currently employed by Transform Pharmaceuticals in Lexington, MA, Kane earned his BS (1991) and MS (1993) from the University of Texas and his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from MIT (1999). He remarks, "Thanks mainly to the Lemelson prize connection, several companies contacted me about using my bellows in their products." Kane worked with one potential company to build prototypes and is now collaborating with an independent inventor interested in his designs.

Q: how to breaking balloon by clicking mouse? my display() function, I bring the value of the balloon position to pop()
void display()
{
glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

// update balloon position
p = 0;

for(w=0; w<100; w++)
{
    p = rand() % speedrange;

    balloon[w].pos.y = balloon[w].pos.y + speed[p];
}

for(balloonBurst=0; balloonBurst<100; balloonBurst++)
{
    drawCircleOutline(balloon[balloonBurst]);
    if(mouseleft){
    pop(balloon[balloonBurst].pos.x,balloon[balloonBurst].pos.y);
    }
}
glutSwapBuffers();
}

this is my mouse function
void mouse(int button, int state, int x, int y)
{

if (button==GLUT_LEFT_BUTTON)
{
    mouseleft = (state == GLUT_LEFT_BUTTON);
    mouseX = x;
    mouseY = y;
    /*tex_2d = SOIL_load_OGL_texture(
    "balloonBurst.png",
    SOIL_LOAD_AUTO,
    SOIL_CREATE_NEW_ID,
    SOIL_FLAG_MIPMAPS | SOIL_FLAG_INVERT_Y | SOIL_FLAG_NTSC_SAFE_RGB | SOIL_FLAG_COMPRESS_TO_DXT);*/
    }
}

this is my pop() function
void pop (float x, float y)
{
    if( x - 0.1f <= mouseX/800 <= x + 0.1f && y - 0.1f <= 1 - mouseY/800 <= y + 0.1f)
    {
        tex_2d = SOIL_load_OGL_texture(
        "balloonBurst.png",
        SOIL_LOAD_AUTO,
        SOIL_CREATE_NEW_ID,
        SOIL_FLAG_MIPMAPS | SOIL_FLAG_INVERT_Y | SOIL_FLAG_NTSC_SAFE_RGB | SOIL_FLAG_COMPRESS_TO_DXT);
    }
}

I have no idea how to link it and compare the value of mouse position and balloon position.

A: What you are looking for is called picking in OpenGL. There are two Methods for this namely Ray Picking and opengl Selection Mode. See here, here, here,  and here.

A: Draw every balloon with a different color, then get the color of the pixel where the mouse is, this will give you the color of the balloon (if you are pointing at one). For that, take a look at glReadPixels. Use some sort of list to see which balloon corresponds to which color. If you dont want to show this colors, you can clear the screen and render with your desired colors, textures, shaders, whatever.

Who Owns The Future of Water?
On one hand, it's an increasingly valuable commodity. On the other hand, it's necessary for all life. We're talking about water. While some countries are selling their water assets to private interests, there are also cities taking over private water companies; municipalization. Which works better? Is genuine water democracy possible? Who owns the future of water? Burt's guest is Daniel Moss, coordinator of Our Water Commons. Moss says the answer is up to all of us.
In exchange for giving up their rights to water in 1969, the Navajo and Hopi were promised they'd be returned to them in fifty years. As we approach that deadline, Arizona Senators Kyl and McCain are rushing a bill through the senate to keep control in the hands of the coal and electric companies instead of the Native Americans. Recently about 300 protestors gathered to say to the senators: "NO DEAL" and "KILL THE BILL" S2109, which would allow for more water control for the benefit of coal and electric companies and urban growth. Protesters chanted "Water Is Life", "Free Indian Water Ends Now", and "Let the Water Flow." Today's guest is Marshall Johnson, who has been at the forefront of the grassroots environmental movement on Navajo land.
Americans cheered last spring as the people of Egypt overthrew the dictator Hosni Mubarak. Temporary military rule was accepted by all as a way to ensure stability until democratic elections could be held. However now the military is ruling with a heavy hand and the people are no better off, with democracy still in the distance. The Obama Administration accepts of this state of affairs, choosing stability over democracy. But according to today's guest Medea Benjamin, founder of Code Pink, the result is neither stability nor democracy. And long term American interests are being badly hurt in the process. Benjamin also addresses how America's greatly increased use of drones is undermining our national interests.
