Ezra Furman has sung about God in her indie rock. Now she's going to rabbinical school.
Redferns
(JTA) — "How would I describe myself?" Ezra Furman said wryly, tearing a corner off of her slice of pizza in a shop in Somerville, Mass. "I try to avoid it."
There's certainly a lot to cover. The 34-year-old musician is an acclaimed indie rocker, an observant Jew, a transgender woman, a mother, and — as of this fall — a rabbinical student.
"I would say I'm a transfeminine psalmist," she said after a pause. She's deceptively delicate in person despite her rowdy stage presence, wearing a soft pink shirt and a mask that reads "VOTE!" "I think it's true that I am a trans woman. I think non-binary is also accurate. And I'm not sure how these incommensurate things can be together, but they just all feel accurate."
It's an identity Furman has explored in music and lyrics throughout her career, which has also defied categorization. Her discography mixes glam rock with grunge and doo-wop, upbeat indie pop with sweet crooning ballads and howling punk songs about poverty and climate change. She has appeared on stage wearing tzitzit under a dress and produced an album about queer love that doubles as a midrash on Exodus. Perhaps most significantly in her career as a touring musician, she doesn't travel or perform on Shabbat.
"I give up professional opportunities all the time," she said. "I guess it takes some trust that it's gonna be okay. I have developed a will to ask for all the things that I need, even though I was told they can't go together."
For many of her fans, especially those who are queer and questioning, Furman provides a rare public example that it is possible to be religious and queer, to be transgender and a parent. After she came out as a transfeminine mother in April, there was an outpouring of joy across social media.
"You have always been in a light in the darkness and you sharing this with all of us has the exact effect you intended: proof that life can be beautiful and fulfilling AND you get to be yourself," one Instagram commenter wrote. Another said: "so happy for you, your family, and thank you for sharing this– so valuable to be witnessed, appreciated and to be inspiration for others."
But it wasn't all positive — her manager received a stash of hate mail that he hid from her.
"He was like, 'I'll just tell you if there's something important,'" Furman said with a sigh.
"My goal was to show my life a little to people who might find it useful to have a model of trans parenthood in real life," she said, a little ruefully, "and then I found transphobic people make you pay a cost for that. But I do think it was worth it. I can take some degree of it if it's worth it."
She and her partner, who she doesn't talk about publicly for privacy reasons, are used to "queerphobia," as she puts it, "in an open way and in a structural way." But she's hopeful, perhaps more than she was when she last talked to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in 2016, when she discussed her difficulty finding a Jewish space to pray comfortably.

"I see glimmers of a future where it's just not an issue for anyone you encounter and you never have to explain yourself. I want nobody to have to explain their gender or sexuality or family structure," she said.
It has been a busy past few years for Furman, who had toiled for years in relative folk rock obscurity with the band Ezra Furman and the Harpoons before making more of a splash as a solo artist with a string of five albums, the first from 2012. Records such as 2015's "Perpetual Motion People" and 2018's "Transangelic Exodus" brought widespread acclaim, and she scored the music for Netflix's hit show "Sex Education" in 2019.
In addition to being a new mom and a professional musician, Furman starts at Hebrew College in nearby Newton this fall. She's also starting a podcast on Jewish holidays called "2 Queers 4 Questions." She's only doing one semester of rabbinical school for now, and then will take all of 2022 off from school.
"Which might suggest that I'm doing some musical activity then," she said.
For Furman, rabbinical school is the culmination of a lifetime of thinking about God — but making music, which she calls spiritual, also helped her get there.
"Someone I know asked me if I think that learning the Torah trope for my bar mitzvah influenced me to become a musician, [and] it completely did," she said. "I think [singing] is a part of the brain that remembers in a different way, but also thinks and feels in a different way. And that's the part of the brain that prays, is the part of the part of the brain that I think talks to God, that thinks about God. I think it's a spiritual act to make music."
Has raising a child made her even more in touch with her Jewish identity?
"That's a good question," she said, tilting her head to the side in contemplation. "I haven't thought about it."
Either way, her two year-old, for whom she uses they/them pronouns in respect for their privacy, is surrounded by Jewish ritual at home.
"I sing 'Sh'ma Yisrael' before putting them down for bed every night. So, they know the word 'sh'ma,' they kiss the mezuzah as we're going through the door to their bedroom, and in everything about being a parent, you're making the world for this person. And the choices you make are their environment," Furman said.
She explained that she has been thinking about her own childhood lately — her experiences at a Jewish day school from elementary through middle school, and then as a teenager entering the largely irreligious music scene.
"I grew up in places where wherever I could be queer, I couldn't be Jewish in the way I wanted to be," she said, "and wherever I could be Jewish, I couldn't be queer in the way I wanted to be. One of them had to be under water for the other one to breathe. I didn't have a lot of people showing me that it was possible to ask for both and do both."
"To me, what becoming an adult has meant is that I get to make the life I want, and others' idea that these things are incommensurate with each other, doesn't actually prevent me from doing anything. I mean it might get me stigma and hate, harassment, whatever. But I can still have transness, and Judaism, and parenthood, and the art life, the music life."
She takes a long pause. "I have a lot of flaws," she said. "But I'm also happy with who I am."
Eventually she walked back across Somerville's Davis Square to where she left her bike and helmet; it was drawing closer to evening and she was on her way to pick up her child before the crush of Boston traffic reached its height. This will be the second time in her life that the Tufts graduate has lived in Somerville as a student and she's excited to get started.
"I don't know that I'm going to finish, and I might be a rabbinical school dropout — which seems cool," she said with a laugh. "It's a weird thing to do and it's going to be awkward both for my music life and my school life … I just was like, well, these two ventures don't fit together. But I need them both, so I'm going to do them both."

Digital star and actor Lilly Singh announced that she is bisexual, eliciting a warm wave of love and approval on social media.
Singh's announcement of her sexual orientation comes three months after she took a brief break from posting on YouTube, citing the need to restore her mental health and creative energy. "I'm not my optimal happiness right now. I could be mentally healthier," she said in a Nov. 12 video. She resumed uploading comedy videos about a month later on her YouTube channel, which has 14.5 million subscribers.
So proud of you Lilly! 😍😍😍 welcome to the family babe!


I know that I feel like this every year, but I can never believe how fast the summer flies by! Tomorrow we have an institute day and the following day will be my first day with my new students. Last year was my first year teaching middle school Spanish and there were so many times where I thought to myself "Oh no...I should have done this differently!" This year I'm excited to learn from my mistakes and make this year even better than the last.
Last year I started class off with an Instagram photo booth for the first day (read more about last year's first day plans here), but this year I wanted to shake things up! For the first day of school I will show the students a power point introducing myself with pictures of my summer. While I am explaining the pictures the students will be playing "strip" bingo. I will write high-frequency words from my presentation on the whiteboard and students have to fill in each of the five squares on their bingo strip with a different word. When they hear me say a word that is on the end of their bingo strip they get to tear it off. Whoever tears off all of the words first is the winner. This is a great game because it helps the students stay engaged while they are listening.
On the second day of school I will let the students pick a Spanish name and then we will play Speedball to help learn everyone's name and build our classroom community. I got this game from the 'Mis Clases Locas' blog which has some really great ideas for the beginning of the year. After playing speedball I am going to give my students a survey to fill out about their summer (you can download the 'vacaciones de verano' survey below.) Each student will walk around the room with a clipboard and paper and ask their classmates the questions on the survey. If a student answers 'yes' to one of the questions he/she signs the box containing the question. More advanced students can give a full response using the prompts at the bottom of the square. The object of the game is to get a different name in each square. Once the students are done filling in all of the squares we play bingo! To play bingo I randomly call out names and if a student has a square with the name that I call out they mark it with an 'X'. If someone gets a bingo they have to read the answers back to me. For example, "María fue a las montañas, Juan comió en un restaurante, etc."
What are your favorite activities to use during the first weeks of class?

Avengers: Endgame Review
Andrew Gomez, Staff Writer
WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!
The cinematic event of the year, Avengers: Endgame has finally hit theaters on April 26, 2019. The emotional reactions from fans are flooding the internet. Even though it's not the end of all Marvel movies, this is the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)'s "Infinity Saga", as many are calling it. And Marvel surely did not disappoint us with the ending of this saga built up over their 21 films from 2008 to 2019. Again, there will be MAJOR spoilers in this review, so click away if you haven't seen Endgame yet.
The action in Avengers: Endgame is some of the best executed action in any superhero movie thus far. As unexpected twists continue making every scene more epic, the action keeps the viewer glued to their seat for its entire 3 hour runtime. None of it feels rushed; in fact, the viewer just can't get enough of any of it from the moment it starts. And the best part is that it's all worth it.
Avengers: Endgame managed to pull off wacky story elements through many facets. This is because it effectively feeds off of the trajectory of 21 movies, which have gradually felt more like comic books as they went on. Endgame might function the most like a comic book out of all these 21 films because it has large, wide shots of its plethora of characters and explores comic-booky elements while still being fully enjoyable. This is not easy to do, but the screenwriters, directors, producers, and everyone else really worked their tails off. They didn't just pull these things off; they showcased them so excellently that Endgame resulted in an unforgettable, gratifying experience.
One of the most breathtaking aspects of this film is its celebration of the characters that have been developing on film for these past eleven years. Introducing too many new heroes would have overshadowed the spotlight on Marvel's fan-favorite core characters in Endgame. This movie, instead of doing that, had almost every character from the last 21 movies feature in it to create the most epic end to this "Infinity Saga". Avengers: Endgame does not fall short of jaw-dropping, heartbreaking, humorous, and serious moments with the heroes we have come to know and love.
Some original Avengers, such as Hawkeye and the Hulk are finally seeming to get more interesting stories. The opening scene of Hawkeye's vibrant family life suddenly being snapped away struck fans to the core. His dark, violent turn allowed for an ultimately redemptive arc, though. With the death of the beloved Black Widow, Hawkeye's best friend, he knew he had to make her noble sacrifice count. He decided to use his abilities for good again. In his last scene, he talks with Scarlet Witch. It seems like he will continue being the renewed good man that he is in his friendship with her.
The conclusion of Captain America's superhero role was one that some fans expected to be brutal. However, it seems like the writers of the film chose to do something more respectful. Seeing him older, having been married to the love of his life was something that possibly no one saw coming, but it was a good ending to the character. Steve Rogers is no longer Cap, but he passed the shield to Falcon so that the mantle of Captain America may live on. There is no doubt that fans are excited for a new Cap.
Tony Stark's emotional farewell was something we were inevitably going to get, due to Robert Downey, Jr's contract ending, but it still struck audiences to the core. Tony's end calls all the way back to the first Avengers movie, when Cap says, "You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play." From that point on, Stark has learned how to be a better team player (despite his still lingering ego), and in Endgame's final battle, he steals all the Infinity Stones from the gauntlet. Stark resolves to save the universe through the ultimate "sacrifice play", and he snaps his own fingers. This surge of immense energy overwhelms Stark's mortal body and takes his life. Iron Man's cinematic arc is officially complete, but the legacy of the beloved character lives on through Spider-Man, Rhodey, Pepper Potts, and possibly even Morgan Stark (Tony's daughter).
Avengers: Endgame is a triumph among fans, critics, and even at the box office. Despite its 3 hour runtime, it's jam-packed with powerful moments, it evolves and ends character arcs, and utilizes some of the most risky fantasy elements to push the story forth with an unceasing stream of momentum. Endgame mixes its colorful cinematography with unexpected twists and breathtaking moments to provide a satisfying memorable experience. It has been built over 11 years of incredible film-making, completes its first saga, and is now the catalyst for many more years of sagas to come into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

(translation from the Italian, Corriere della Sera of April 8, 2014)
Certain gadgets already exist on the market that are meant to monitor the quality of one's sleep: bracelets, elastic bands, inflatable mattresses full of sensors that record every movement and the cardiac rhythm of the sleeper. In a not too distant future, and with the spread of the "internet of things"—intellectual objects connected between themselves in a web—our interconnected house could know that we slept badly and wake us up with a sweet song, and then prepare us a nice strong coffee. Fantastic, say some. A nightmare, challenge others, who see in the aforementioned computing yet another ploy with which private associations gather more and more detailed information on its users with the intent of selling it. "The problem," states Mihai Nadin, Director of antÉ – Institute for Research in Anticipatory Systems at the University of Texas at Dallas, "is not in the exchanging of data with whom we knowingly interact. The problem arises when we allow them access for a transaction that implies being involved—without wishing to be—with others. If I give my address to the firemen to put out a fire, I don't expect them to pass it to others who want to repair my house."
Nadin makes the distinction between true anticipation, his line of work, and prediction. "In Silicon Valley," he says, "they talk about anticipating user demands and desires, when really all they do is to search in order to dig up some generalizations based on a pattern of behavior. But anticipation has nothing to do with behavioral schemes. I could react in a certain way to an earthquake here today in Texas, and in a completely different way to a different earthquake in San Francisco."
For Nadin, an anticipatory system does not depend only on past states, but also on possible future states. It is a system that adapts itself, that learns, like living organisms. The fruit of this approach is the "Aging Car" project, an automobile that adapts itself to an aging driver. A network of sensors measures, for example, slowing reflexes, weakened eyesight and adapts accordingly, helping the driver. AntÉ has worked with Audi (2003) and Daimler-Chrysler (1999). "Part of the work that we have done," the scholar and researcher affirms, "is already a reality. Audi has inserted some elements in their latest models. Other ideas have been taken up in future projects, like those dealing with self-driving automobiles." Whether they predict or anticipate, one thing is certain: computers prepare for us a future with fewer worries. Asking what we pay in exchange is still open.

Brothers donate land that has been in family for 160 years
Sunday, December 22nd 2019, 9:27 AM CST
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Two Vermont brothers have given up the development rights to land their family has owned since before the Civil War so it can be conserved in perpetuity.
The Vermont Land Trust announced that 186 acres of Londonderry farmland, forest and wildlife habitat has been conserved in the project that has been owned by the Twitchell family for 160 years, the Brattleboro Reformer reports.
The donation was made by the Twitchell brothers — Jim who served as Town Clerk for five decades, and Bob, who served on the Londonderry Conservation Commission for 20 years.
"The land supports a diversity of uses — from beef cattle, to recreation trails and wildlife habitat," the land trust said.
The Land Trust's Joan Weir said she had been working on the project with the Twitchell brothers for five or six years. The closing took place last month.
"This farm and land have been the center of our entire lives," Bob Twitchell said in a statement announcing the deal. "It is our hope that by removing the development options, that the land can stay intact for the enjoyment and use of future generations, for as long as water flows and green grass grows."


The long-awaited "Twin Peaks" revival doesn't air until May 21 on Showtime, but in the meantime we're being teasedwith 30-second promos that don't really do much more than that.
A 32-second spot released in January showed us present-day Dale Cooper (without revealing anything about his, er, mental state) and panned over nature shots of Pacific Northwest fog and forest for ambience.
Today, two new teasers dropped. The first, below, opens with the final, chilling shot of the "Twin Peaks" Season 2 finale (major spoiler, do not watch if you haven't seen it yet) followed by the iconic line "It is happening again?" Does that imply that Coop 25-years-later is still touched? Or does it simply mean that the cycle continues with a new set of victims?
In the second video, we see the classic image of Laura Palmer's body as it's being unwrapped from its plastic sheath, followed by a zoom-in on her high school yearbook picture, this time taped up on a wall. And...Nothing is Illuminated.
Or could it be that...wait for it...these teasers are not what they seem?!
We won't know anything until May 21, and it's likely that Season 3 will leave us with more mysteries than answers, as is the Lynchian way.
In the meantime, on March 1 Showtime is airing Lynch's "Twin Peaks" prequel film"Fire Walk with Me,"which sheds light on the world of Laura Palmer, pre-murder. And of course, Seasons 1 and 2 of the show are available to stream on Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Sweet dreams! That hopefully don't involve any red velvet curtains or slow-talking midgets.


A hard fork of Ethereum known as Constantinople will be released on the second week of October. The upgrade will result to "small but important improvements" to the network efficiency and fees structure according to Lane Rettig, who is an independent developer.
The hard fork, which enters Ropsten testnet on October 9th and implemented on the main chain after Devcon 4, will help to increase efficiency, lower transaction fees and possibly pave way to Ethereum's hotly anticipated scaling roadmap.
Therefore, the improvement is expected to come into effect end of October or beginning November. Constantinople was announced on July 27 this year and contains five proposals; the EIP 145 that seeks to introduce bitwise shifting, which is a more efficient method of processing information on Ethereum; the EIP 1052, which seeks to help optimize large-scale code execution on Ethereum; EIP 1283, which introduces a more equitable pricing method for changes done to data storage; EIP 1014, which facilitates scaling based upon state channels and off-chain transactions; and EIP 1234, which seeks to reduce mining reward from 3 to 2 ETH and delay the difficulty bomb for a period of 12 months.
Thus code optimization through some changes on the EVM will improve processing time for developers while code edit making through scaling solution would make it easier to scale on Ethereum. EIP 145 and EIP 1052 want to optimize developer experience for smart contract development by way of improving performance of Ethereum. EIP 145's bitwise shifting runs bytecode without relying on arithmetic operations such as multiplication and division, which makes faster processing on the EVM.
EIP 1052 upgrade will ensure that only essential data of a smart contract code is checked instead of the entirety of the code being checked. EIP 1283 tackles how smart contracts are stored on Ethereum and reduces the amount that developers need to pay when building smart contracts. It will introduce a better cost analysis for contracts by breaking down the changes that are written in Ethereum's short term storage rather than the blockchain itself. The cost for developers is reduced if none or a few of the updates end up on the blockchain.
The nodes that are running Ethereum software can upgrade to new version to move along with the new system, but can also operate as a separate entity.
Most of the upgrades of Constantinople will not be noticeable to general users. Plus the upgrade, which is a second of a two-part series of the upgrade, will not have any big changes for the average end-user.
Currently, the code is being reviewed and tested although a formal block number is yet to be decided.

Cristal Mining competes in a global market, and is further constrained by the location of resources. The company uses electricity, diesel, coal, gas (where available) to extract, process and transport its products.
Cristal recognises the impact energy consumption has on the creation of greenhouse gas emissions and has implemented a policy to reduce the company and contractor energy footprint. The Cristal environmental policy clearly communicates the company policy to staff and contractors; this includes a commitment to a reduction on energy, and greenhouse gas emissions and to comply with the Energy Efficiency Opportunities (EEO) Act.
Cristal has developed energy efficiency procedures to meet the management systems requirements, which are closely linked to the company's standard operating procedures.
The company's operations have been assessed using a combination of external and internal technical experts to identify energy efficiency opportunities. The analysis has used techniques such as energy mass balance of each operation's energy and material flows. Significant energy and production improvements have been achieved as a result of the Cristal EEO program.


Fallen Heroes | Blue Star Salute Foundation, Inc.
Under Former Governor Bob Riley's leadership, LTC (ret) Al Hinson's Operation Grateful Heart's Office led the initial creation and development of the "Alabama Fallen Heroes Memorial" to honor Alabamians who died while on active duty in the support of the War on Terrorism. This Memorial is located in the Old Supreme Court Chamber of the Alabama Capitol and is one of the top tourist attractions in the Capitol Building.
The Blue Star Salute Foundation similarly created a traveling "Faces of the Price of Freedom" display to erect at Veterans Events and schools across Alabama to ensure that these brave Alabamians who made the ultimate sacrifice are never forgotten.
The Blue Star Salute Foundation now has the honor of maintaining and displaying both of these Memorials.
This memorial is on permanent display in the Old Supreme Court Chambers in the Alabama State Capitol .
The display is taken to Veterans Events and Schools all over the State of Alabama to ensure that these fallen heroes are never forgotten.
As these displays were initially developed by separate organizations, the criteria used varies slightly. The differences are noted in the table below.
We monitor public resources to discover Alabamians killed in the line of duty, so we can add them to the memorials. Should we miss a notice and you have information you can provide us, please send us an email to hsessamen@yahoo.com. Please include the Veteran's Name, Rank, and Unit and date of death. May also require proof of military service and a death certificate.

Life ought to work like that
June 17, 2019 at 10:21 am |
Please, Mr. President, let's not go down that road again.
LAST WEEK, in an interview with ABC News, President Trump responded to a question about how he'd handle a foreign entity offering dirt on a political rival in the 2020 election. He said, "I think I'd want to hear it."
Asked if he would feel he or his campaign would be obliged to call in the FBI, Trump said no.
Reminded that FBI Director Christopher Wray, a Trump appointee, had told a congressional committee any campaign approached by a foreign government or entity should report it immediately to the agency, Trump did not mince words.
"The FBI director is wrong," he said. "Life doesn't work like that."
LET THOSE WORDS digest for awhile. The words are not vague, or ambiguous. So, if Russia - or Norway, or China, or Mexico, or North Korea - tried to interfere in the 2020 election to pass political dirt to any campaign, there should be no need not only to avoid receiving and using the material, but also no need to notify authorities.
Let's hope the President mispoke. Or that cooler heads prevail and establish a higher standard. Or at least that Director Wray and authorities take a stronger stance.
Setting the Mueller report aside, the entire depth and breadth of America's intelligence community unanimously left no doubt there were serious outside foreign influence attempts targeting the 2016 U.S. elections. Every American has a stake in preventing future attacks. Obviously, this kind of message is not helpful going forward.

Ludacris' "Sexting" Is Probably Not On Tiger Woods' iPod

Ludacris' curious timing isn't the only indication he's taken an interest in Tiger Woods' cheating scandal. Amidst the promotion for his Battle Of The Sexes LP, Luda dropped a bouncy new track, "Sexting", which kicks off with a delicious parody of Woods' panicked voicemail to his mistress. Fore!
[wpaudio url="//idolator.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Ludacris-Sexting-prod.-The-Neptunes.mp3″ text="Ludacris – Sexting" dl="0″]
Produced by the Neptunes, the track finds Luda satirizing Woods' stay in sex rehab by imagining a conversation with the teacher who's trying to help him get "unhooked on ass". Unfortunately, the beat doesn't provide much of a lift — sorry to disappoint anyone who was hoping for another "Money Maker"). Is "Sexting" a bit opportunistic? Sure. But — like it or not — we imagine plenty of people can relate to "my girl went through my cell phone".
Is Ludacris' spoof the best Tiger parody yet? The skit is hilarious, but if you're looking for a complete song (instead of, say, simple repetition of the hook over a busy signal), you might do better with Maino's "Get 'Em Tiger" (produced by The Colleagues):
But then again, it's tough to match the entertainment value of hearing Tiger's own words remixed and thrown back in his face. Back to rehab, Tiger.

Paolo Cattani has released a new version of his Virtual Grand Prix 3 simulation, adding a public online lobby for multiplayer races to the feature list.
In order to use new the lobby server, the newest version of the simulation (0.82) needs to be installed.
Important: The new version may cause some mods to crash. To fix this, the ai config file in the "VGP3\veicoli\mod\config" folder needs to be removed.
Virtual Grand Prix 3 features a full field of Formula cars and five different tracks. The sim sells for reasonable 14,90€ including one year of updates, a free demo is available on the VGP3 website.
Good to hear. This was probably VGP3's single greatest weakness as a product. Presumably it will be some time before there are enough people that you could log in any old time and find a public server, but at least it's now a possibility.

Every craft lends itself to specific insights. Here's one I've come to because of tap dancing.
Tap dancing is an odd art form in that not everyone has a frame of reference to it. Some people have seen a tap dancer perform in person, some have seen on on television, some remember the old movie musicals, while some haven't experienced any of these things.
This puts a unique burden on the modern day tap dancer. While they are performing they are put in a position of educating members of their audience about what it is they are actually doing, their own artistic references and influences, in addition to their message. Some do this with intention, others intuitively, while others reject the responsibility altogether.
Here's the thing: Whether we want to or not, sometimes our work demands that we teach people first. As we try to share the message we've been given, we also need to take care of the people listening. We need to be sure that they understand the language we are speaking, the craft we are using, and the analogies we're drawing. Otherwise, our presentation is in vain (literally).


← For the Love of Stephen!
A couple of days ago, we celebrated the feast of St. Stephen, the first martyr of the Church. Today, we celebrate the feast of the holy Innocents who, in a very real sense, were the real first martyrs. As you know, the holy Innocents were untold numbers of infants killed on orders from King Herod after the Magi had told him of the birth of the expected Messiah. The Church has venerated these unnamed children as martyrs for they died for Christ, in Christ's stead.
I found myself meditating on Herod today as I read the Office of Readings. St. Quodvultdeus was the patristic writer of the second reading.
I am thinking about the anger and rage that are so prevalent in our society today. Herod was consumed with anger and rage. It's source was unfounded fear. How often do we struggle with fear, fear that can lead to anger and rage? I have seen the consequences of this very thing time and time again in my clinical work, in the lives of so many patients. Fear. Fear of loss of status, security, esteem. Fear that renders one a slave of one's emotions and in turn evolves into patterns of behavior that only hurt the most vulnerable.
Our society is in the grip of fear. We do not see the truth. Our focus on fear leads to the death of innocent lives. A poignant example is the tragic loss of civilian lives in combat zones. Another example is the millions of unborn children aborted out of fear of the future or the past. The execution of scores of criminals because we fear them and are caught up in anger, rage, the demand for revenge. The horrible reality of domestic violence that speaks of inner fear, insecurity, anger, and the perceived loss of face.
The feast of the holy Innocents, as tragic as their martyrdom was, reminds us that it continues today, and not far from our own homes.
Listen, if you will, to their cries….. the abused women, the aborted babies, the victims of terrorism and war, the emotionally and physically abused children in our midst.
Listen and weep. God does.

Data of Boston City Council.
What was the data concerning?
An additional file required to accurately interpret the .sgstn is edited and added to during the Public Meeting in the Council Chamber yet held back.
For first hand experience the public funded Stenographic Record of the most recent Public Meeting of Boston City Council is sent on request via https://www.boston.gov/departments/city-council/andrea-campbell a more accurate Document than flawed inaccurate video captions. The Steno Record is more complete than Minutes.
Another opportunity to Learn more about what a favorite City Councilor actually remarked about an issue of concern!
Corrupted practices of Boston City Clerks Offices Legislative Support Program, page 329 at https://budget.boston.gov/img/pdfs/13-Non-Mayoral-Departments-Cabinet.pdf hold back improving Boston City Council.
Transparency and public process at Boston City Council can be improved for greater civic engagement, greater civic participation and maximize opportunities for citizen input into the Council's Legislative Process with a) Sortable-By-Topic Roll Call Votes 2018 Data and b) a better online Map for Redistricting clearly delineating NAMES of Bordering Streets between adjacent Districts for folks nearby Bordering Streets, for all folks!
"People Who Like This Sort of Thing Will Find This the Sort of Thing They Like"
That's the record of the debates. And you and I know the back story to that.
Funny that Althea Garrison, who's hidden his/her gender for so many years, will probably be the most honest politician in Boston. Althea truly has the interests of original Bostonians at heart. He/she has my vote!
We need time clocks and drug testing for Boston politicians. They are our employees.

Starting with the 2013-2014 school year, parents create their own PowerSchool account, choose their own username and password, and assign each of their children to a single account.
Click on the "Create Account" tab on the PowerSchool Login page to begin the account creation process.
You will need a confidential Access ID and Access Password for each child that you have at SI. If you do not have those, click here to have them emailed to you.
Scores may be posted on PowerSchool at anytime during the term, but teachers will update their grades at least by our Mid-Quarter, Midterm, and Semester Grade Report dates. Our first mandatory reporting date is two weeks into the semester, and after that date you will be able to see a course grade and list of assignments for every class. At that time, it is important to remember that we are VERY EARLY in the semester; students should look at the scores not as indicative of their final grade in the course, but as a progress report that reflects their current status in the class. Please encourage a healthy attitude towards grades and allow your child to be the primary user of PowerSchool.


I also choose to use the padlock icons to show what state or mode LastPass is in.
It shows a red(?) "closed" padlock icon when I'm signed in and a dark colored "open" icon when I'm not signed in.
When I glance up there and see the closed padlock, I assume LastPass is locked and I'm not signed in. When I'm signed in, the padlock should be open, and maybe green - but I'm also somewhat colorblind so I tend to focus on if the padlock is open or closed. Photoshop says the unlocked icon is RGB 59, 74, 84, ( ██ ), which my wife (who is NOT colorblind) says she thinks is "some kind of weird green."
. . . . ...but I do not agree with that. LastPass should always be at work keeping your data is secure.
I did not have this issue before a recent upgrade. I'm sure it used to show a "closed" padlock icon when I was NOT signed in and an "open" padlock when I was signed in.
btw, unless they're right next to each other, these two colors look somewhat similar to me, ██████.
Lets get those icons back so they make sense!
Why is the lock icon reversed?
The latest version of lastpass shows the red (locked lock) icon when you are logged in. The yellow (unlocked) lock shows when you are logged out. Shouldn't this be the other way round? I remember that it was in previous versions.
Performance is much improved in FF with e10s compatibility.


this phone goes on hanging all the time and restart itself. can anyone help me?
hello i have this phone and have no complains just a question it says here it supports 8 gb and in the cellphone manual says less like 4. which one is right?
I have this phone for over 2 years now and it functions well no problems.Well my only challenge now is finding a new cover since this cover is 2 yrs old now and tired but the phone is a toughie reminds me of the 3310 version.
this phone is good,its really good!!!that's it!!!depends on how you use it!!!!
Best phone for music lovers specially. I have been using it for 11 months, so overall its a great phone.
You can go for it!
Anonymous, 14 Sep 2009hi...i know this is a good fone but can this fone record a call???yes u can record ur call, simply make a call then press options and press record. the whole call will recorded and save in recordings when u cut the call.
Anonymous, 17 Sep 2009Dont go for this mobile it is nothing but pathetic piece i took it just 6 months back n gave 2... moremaybe yours is china phone...and take care of it so you wont repair it..


Trying to get an old (2010) app I know next to nothing about to run.
Using wildfly 9.0.1 on fbsd.
it contains a single .war and a .jar; the .war references a class in the .jar.
When enabled in wildfly, I get a ClassNotFound exception.
WFLYSRV0153: Failed to process phase POST_MODULE of subdeployment \"app.war\" of deployment \"app.ear\"
Any pointers / hints would be much appreciated.
You should move the "org.abc.DMDSLLocalHome.class" from the "app.ear/app.jar/classes" to "app.ear/app.jar". Usually we do not create a directory "classes" inside a JAR. so better to move all the classes from the "app.ear/app.jar/classes" to the root of that JAR like inside "app.ear/app.jar" and remove the "app.ear/app.jar/classes" directory.
Also the Standard EAR can have a directory "lib" where you can place all your JARs than needs to be shared across multiple sub-modules (like war/ejb-jar ..etc) of that EAR.
Thanks, that got me a little further along.
Now I need to deal with the EJB 2 => EJB 3 transition, since Wildfly 9 apparently doesn't support the arbitrary naming and mapping done via jboss.xml and ejb-jar.xml. I've seen references to jboss-ejb3.xml, but no real explanation of it and how it may relate to jboss.xml and ejb-jar.xml.
Good to know that your primary issue is resolved.
EJB2 => EJB3 migration and mapping between jboss.xml and ejb-jar.xml and jboss-ejb3.xml i will suggest you to post if you have any specific query/error/exception in that regard else going through the doc will help much.


5G networks will be based on an architecture that will spawn an entirely new ecosystem of technological and enterprise innovations. The 5G architecture of those networks will support thousands of new applications in the consumer and business segments, including vertical markets such as manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and automobiles.
That 5G architecture will have a significant impact on today's mobile networks, physical networking, computing facilities, hosting and deployment systems, and service and infrastructure orchestration. Standards reports are coming from the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and the 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership (5GPPP). The 5GPPP report draws on research from the other two standards as well as the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). The networks will require a sophisticated integration of massive computing and storage infrastructures. In the new 5G architecture, mobile operators will need to plan for the necessities of higher network capacities, denser cell-site grids, small-cell deployments at the street level, virtualized network functions (VNF), and evolving roles of mission-critical applications.
The flexible and programmable nature of 5G networks represent a radical mobile network evolution in terms of capacity, performance, and spectrum access in both radio and non-radio network segments, including backhaul capabilities.
The forecasted increase in capacity density of 5G networks will result in more capacity per site in Radio Access Networks (RANs) and a far denser grid of 5G base stations. This denser grid allows for the wireless backhaul of data from micro cells to macro cells. This means the demands on 5G infrastructure is more distributed over many base stations. Data traversing the network then has a shorter trip to make between the user and its destination.
Operators are already in the midst of virtualizing their networks and services, in the form of cloud services and software-defined networking (SDN)/network functions virtualization (NFV) — paving the way to further evolution of the backhaul. Essentially, the 5G architecture will incorporate an all-cloud digital transformation of networks, operation systems, and services.
According to 5GPPP, a central cloud will be connected via a backhaul network to many edge computing clouds that are 20 kilometers from the user at most. If services can be executed in the network edge, that will take traffic away from the Cloud RAN.
An SDN/NFV-supported foundation means that the 5G architecture will boast cloud-native access, transport, and core networks—enabling diversified 5G services and key technologies such as edge-to-edge network slicing and new security architectures including trust models covering everyone in the 5G ecosystem. Also, whereas LTE networks tend to integrate both the user and control planes, 5G architecture will separate these planes, thereby improving flexibility, that will facilitate centralized or decentralized control, and ensure easy network slicing.
Cutting-edge technologies and a redesigned wireless network architecture are the foundation of 5G architecture. These innovations are still in their early stages with service providers continuing testing.

Ladakh: Sustainable Tourism Saving Trans-Himalayan Ecology
Image by Suket Dedhia from Pixabay
Ladakh has attracted bikers from all across India and the world.
Two years after it was separated from the parent state of Jammu and Kashmir and granted the Union Territory status, Ladakh is on crossroads over choosing between sustainable tourism and saving the fragile trans-Himalayan ecology.
Tourism has been steadily increasing in Ladakh over the last few decades and with every passing year, created an unviable strain on the local natural resources. While on the one hand, people want more tourists to come; on the other, environmental experts are wary of the negative impact it will have on the local environment.
A few days ago, when a video of a reckless tourist's four-wheeler stuck in the sludge at the shore of the serene Pangong Tso lake went viral on social media, there was a lot of hue and cry from all strata of people from Ladakh, in person, in media and also on the social media.
With its nature's bounty, Ladakh attracts a large number of tourists and the numbers have been increasing by the year. Photo by Steven Lasry on Unsplash
"Ladakh has some beautiful high-altitude lakes, which are not only home to several wildlife but also has rich traditional values and sacredness. Enjoy the peaceful awe-inspiring lakes but please don't pollute them," the president of the International Association for Ladakh Studies and Founder of the Himalayan Cultural Heritage Foundation Sonam Wangchok had tweeted.
With its nature's bounty, Ladakh attracts a large number of tourists and the numbers have been increasing by the year. Apart from backpackers and regular tourists, Ladakh has attracted bikers from all across India and the world.
On Wednesday, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) opened the highest motorable road in the world at 19,300 feet at UmlingLa Pass in eastern Ladakh, which is set to attract more and more bikers who were attracted earlier to the 18,000+ feet of the Khardungla Pass. This development, many fear, would bring on more tourists, especially the bikers. Pre-lockdown, there were more than 2.7 lakh tourists to this vastly beautiful cold desert.
Just like the viral video about the fancy SUV stuck in the lakeshore, another video of a bunch of bikers kicking the sand dunes in remote Ladakh too drew a lot of criticism. Photo by Kenza Benaouda on Unsplash
Just like the viral video about the fancy SUV stuck in the lakeshore, another video of a bunch of bikers kicking the sand dunes in remote Ladakh too drew a lot of criticism."Sand dunes are an independent eco-system. There are ground-nesting birds, there are lizards, there are scores of insects and other species that are found in the sand dunes of Ladakh. Once the balance is disturbed, the ecological process is disturbed and it can have an impact on the ecosystem services," Snow Leopard Conservancy India Trust's Tsewang Namgail said.
Therefore, he said, it is imperative that both locals and tourists need to understand the fragile ecosystem and need to respect the environmental fabric. And then there are others who equally blame the local administration's inefficiency. "It is my sincere request to all tourists visiting Ladakh. Respect the beauty, respect the ecosystem, respect the people. Yes. However, I'd also like to add that the authorities in Ladakh have to do a much better job of enforcing the rules," said Rinchen Norbu Shakspo, a journalist from Ladakh, now based in Bengaluru. Ladakh generally witnesses domestic tourists in May and June with a little less in July each year. Last year saw a stop due to the lockdown but this year, the tourists are back with a vengeance. "Plus, this year, several people from north-west India have parked themselves off Ladakh due to work-from-home system," pointed out social worker Fariha Yusuf.
Yusuf is with the Ladakh Ecological Development Group (LEDeG) that has carried out a cleanliness awareness drive regularly along with the administration and also encouraged the administration to compulsorily enforce 'segregation at source' for the municipal solid waste. "Fortunately, the hotels and other local people are complying pretty well. We have also started cleaning the landfill site which is overflowing with all the years of waste. It will take time but at least, a start has been made," Yusuf added.

The change is slow but beginning to happen. On the occasion of the celebration of the second anniversary of the formation of the Union Territory of Ladakh, the Ladakh Tourism department launched an e-bus and also conducted a 'sustainable cleanliness drive' at Skara Spang, a meadow in the neighborhood of Leh.While both the initiatives earned good words for the administration, there are concerns raised for the overall changes happening since last two years. With so much infrastructure planned, concerns are raised towards the processes that will ensure environmental due diligence. For instance, Namgail pointed out a certain Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) report prepared for a road-building project in Ladakh.
"One of the EIA reports I saw mentioned, 'There are no trees in the area, so we can go ahead with the project'. This shows a clear lack of understanding about the ecology here," Namgyal said.
Environmentalist Karma Sonam pointed out how the status of UT is being problematic for better environmental administration.
"The Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council is now a powerless body, and all the decisions are taken at the central level. Tourism has been increasing over the years but now it is time to put a check as excessive tourism can be a problem for the environment," he told IANS on phone.
From being part of a large state to being a Union Territory and then from demanding Schedule Six status to now demanding a separate state, Ladakh and Ladakhis have come a long way. Time for this old silk route destination to find its own place again!

HARTFORD CITY COUNCIL ACTIONS
The Hartford city council met Monday.There were 89 items on the regular agenda. The next council meeting will be Sept. 25 at 8 p.m. at city hall. The next public hearing will be Monday at City Hall.
Compiled by the Citizens' Research Education Network, the following is a summary of some issues discussed by the council:
Charter Revision: The council received notification from the town clerk that the city received and certified the necessary number of signatures on petitions requesting a referendum on the election of council members by district and the creation of council districts. The council voted June 29 to send the recommendations of the charter revision commission to public referendum, except for the recommendation of election of council members by district.
Pay Phones as Public Nuisances: The council sent to public hearing and to the operations, management, budget, education and labor committee an ordinance defining when a pay telephone is a public nuisance. Under the ordinance, a pay telephone would be a nuisance if it contributes to drug trafficking, loitering or disturbing the peace. Also under the ordinance, any pay telephone that is on unimproved property would be prohibited. The public hearing will be Monday at city hall at 8 p.m.
CRCOG Transit Study: The council received a report from the planning, economic development and zoning committee on transit studies for the capital region. The Capital Region Council of Governments (CRCOG) will oversee several transportation-related studies. Topics will include regional transit needs (completion date, February 2001); a downtown circulation system (completion date, summer 2001); a reassessment of use of the Griffin Corridor, now that there is active freight use of the rail line (completion date, July 2002) and a busway between New Britain and Hartford (completion date, early 2001).
City of Hartford as an Electrical Aggregator: The council withdrew a resolution establishing a task force to explore options for dealing with the recent restructuring of electrical utilities. It may be possible for the city of Hartford to become an aggregator and negotiate electricity purchases for city residents. The resolution was withdrawn because the city manager's office is researching that possibility.
People with questions about the agenda may call the council at 860-522-4888 or Greg Vickers at CREN, 860-249-1416. CREN is a nonprofit information center for Hartford community-based organizations. It is at 32 Elm St., Hartford.

The residential tower in the background will begin pre-leasing in early 2021.
Netflix is still making tenant improvements to its new space and is expected to be finished in the first half of 2021.
The site's residential units are in a tower on the west end of the campus. Construction is almost complete there and pre-leasing is expected to begin in Q1 2021.
Rexford Industrial Realty acquired the Van Nuys Airport Industrial Center for $154.6M. The 18-building portfolio traded hands in an off-market deal. Rexford paid for the transaction with cash-on-hand.
The portfolio represents roughly 426.5K SF on 22.6 acres of land. The purchase price includes the cost of both the buildings and the land. Rexford eyed this San Fernando Valley portfolio for its exceptional last-mile and e-commerce uses.
In November, Rexford spent $339.2M on two other LA properties, a four-building industrial complex in Whittier ($296.6M) and a fully leased industrial building in Sylmar ($42.6M).

The Otay Mesa building purchased by Black Creek Group for $109M.
Denver-based Black Creek Group bought a 601K SF industrial building in San Diego County's Otay Mesa. The fully leased building,"a state-of-the-art distribution/warehouse facility," sold for $109M, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. Cushman & Wakefield's Jeff Cole, Jeff Chiate, Bryce Aberg, Ed Hernandez, Mike Adey and Zach Harman of the firm's National Industrial Investment Advisory Group in Southern California represented the seller.
The Solare Apartments, a 240-unit multifamily complex in Santa Ana, sold for $63.75M, or approximately $266K per unit. Tyler Leeson, senior managing director of investments for Marcus & Millichap, and First Vice President Investments Matthew Kipp represented the buyer, Advanced Real Estate Services.

Harbor Associates completed a $4M renovation on a roughly 40K SF garden-style office building in San Diego County's Del Mar. The Bungalows Del Mar received a full exterior redesign and added new creative office suites with exposed vaulted ceilings and skylights.
The Bendetti Co. announced it acquired the La Crosse Business Park in Colton for $12.3M. The Inland Empire business park is a six-building, 112K SF flex industrial complex and is 85% leased. JLL Capital Markets' team, led by Managing Director John Chun and Director Peter Thompson, arranged $10.1M in acquisition financing.

Q: Change 4 middle bits of a byte in C I'm trying to change the 4 middle bits of a byte to correspond to the High nibble of another byte:
Suppose we start with:
In = 0bABCDEFGH
Out = 0bXXXXXXXX // Some random byte

I want:
Out = 0bXXABCDXX

Leaving whatever other bits were in Out's extremes unchanged.
How can I do this?
Note: The 'X' represents any bit, 0 or 1, just to distinguish what came from the input.
I got to:
(0b00111100 & (IN>>2)) = 0b00ABCD00

, which filters the high nibble and centers it but then what? How can I move it to Out?

A: simple:
out &= 0b11000011;
out |= (in >> 2 & 0b00111100);

out &= 0b11000011 sets out to 0bxx0000xx preserving 2 most significant bits and 2 least significant bits. in >> 2 shifts input by 2 giving us 0xYYABCDEF, YY could be 00 or 11 depending on what A is. To get rid of YY and EF we do & 0b00111100.
As pointed by @JB 0B is not standard notation, thus you should use something else, most preferably hex 0x notation. See this for more info.
Thus using hex this would be:
out &= 0xC3;
out |= (in >> 2 & 0x3C)

here is conversion table
`0xf` is `0b1111`
`0x3` is `0b0011`
`0xc` is `0b1100`

A: Assuming in and out are unsigned char, and that CHAR_BIT == 8:
out = (out & 0xC3) | ((in >> 2) & 0x3C);

i.e. 4 operations in total.

A: There are multiple alternatives.  From a high-level perspective, you could

*

*force the four middle bits of Out off, prepare a mask from In as show in your question, and combine Out and mask via bitwise OR (|)

*force the four middle bits of Out off, prepare a mask from In as show in your question, and combine Out and mask via bitwise EXCLUSIVE OR (^)

*force the four middle bits of Out on, prepare a mask from In similarly to how you do now, but with the outer bits on, and combine Out and mask via bitwise AND (&)

*use a series of shifts, masks, and addition or bitwise OR operations to build up the wanted result section by section

Forcing bits off is achieved by bitwise AND with a mask that has 0s at (only) the positions you want to turn off.
Forcing bits on is achieved by bitwise OR with a mask that has 1s at (only) the positions you want to turn on.
You already seem to have a handle on shifting, though you do need to be careful there if you happen to be shifting objects of signed types.  Prefer to use unsigned types for bit manipulation wherever possible.

Lawson Fusao Inada
Born in Fresno, California, Lawson Inada as a child spent World War II in a concentration camp with his family. In a period of racist hysteria, constitutional guarantees were set aside, and Japanese Americans were interned for the duration of the war. He would later write of the experience in Before the War: Poems as They Happened (1971). Lawson was then educated at Berkeley and Fresno State College, followed by studies in creative writing at the University of Iowa and the University of Oregon. He teaches at Southern Oregon State College.

Sadakichi Hartmann
Carl Sadakichi Hartmann was born on an island in Nagasaki Harbor in Japan, of a Japanese mother and German father. His father sent him to the U. S. in 1882, and he was naturalized in 1894. His Conversations with Walt Whitman (1895) apparently grows out of meetings they had late in Whitman's life. Hartmann wrote a number of verse and prose plays as well as numerous poems that helped shape the imagist movement.

Q: how to make oracle apex wizard steps with multiple related tables? In Oracle Apex, I have some related tables i.e:
**Person Table**
Id
Name

**Person_Contact Table**
Id
PersonFK
Tel
Address

**Person_Account Table**
Id
PersonFK
BankName
AccountNumber

these are 1-to-1 tables and PersonFK is the Foreign Key.
Now, I want to create a wizard with 3 steps.
how can I do this?

*

*should I define 3 tables with 1-to-1 relation (like above) or create just one big table?

and

*what is the best practice in Oracle Apex (in wizard steps forms) for this purpose?

A: If you are sure that all three tables will remain have common attributes then the option of single table is fine. More detail can be find
