Skye's Creative Skills
Skye's Role at SkyeLine
A core concept at SkyeLine Studio is to go (way) beyond creating gorgeous marketing collateral. It can't just be another pretty website.
Skye focuses on the big picture, examining what success looks like for each client. This can translate to looking at our client's current (and desired future) customers, brand reputation and differentiation, how to increase revenue streams, and rethinking stagnant ways of doing business.
Skye provides branding and marketing strategies that utilize her background as a publicist. She blends promotional tactics such as traditional communication programs, eMarketing concepts, social media, and grassroots efforts.
Skye is the editor for all large-scale writing projects at SkyeLine. She has a passion for journalistic writing and the Associated Press style used among all major media and can happily get lost within the pages of a project. Skye's work is often seen in our client's biographies, company histories, and website content. Skye is also a ghostwriter and prides herself in reflecting the voice and tone of the brands that she works with.
Before SkyeLine Studio
Prior to founding SkyeLine Studio, Skye worked and consulted for some of the top marketing and PR agencies in Connecticut. In 2003 Skye landed a position at Martha Stewart Living OmniMedia as a personal fashion stylist for Martha Stewart, but Martha's legal problems resulted in canceled shows. It was meant to be. Skye turned her freelance work as an independent publicist into a full-time marketing company. She decided to pursue the entrepreneurial itch that runs in her family, and SkyeLine Studio, LLC was born.
Skye studied journalism, marketing, and business and founded the public relations plan of study at the University of Connecticut in 2000. In fact, she was the first student to graduate from the university with a degree in public relations. Skye also received a second bachelor's degree in communications.
Outside of the 9-5
Skye lives in her hometown of Wolcott, Connecticut, a quaint and quiet town "where everyone knows your name."
When she was young, Skye wanted to be a "Beacher," when she grew up, which was defined as "someone who goes to the beach." Beach days aren't quite the same relaxing trips they used to be, though. Skye doesn't even bother to bring her beach chair to the shore anymore. There is no lounging around with her two wild, salty-haired boys who spend their time (loudly) exploring, running, and splashing. But she wouldn't have it any other way.
Chatham, Massachusetts, is where her heart is, so if you're looking for a great coastal getaway for the weekend, you'll love the lighthouses, bustling Main Street, and vibrant hydrangeas. She even named one of her sons Chatham, so you know the love is real!

However, you might not understand what that dollar is doing.
Maybe you've always wondered why $("#container").on("click", ".thing") is better than "$("#container.thing").click()?
Probably not. But knowing the difference could make your code hundreds of times more efficient (and more flexible to boot).
Or perhaps you've heard people say that you shouldn't be using jQuery? After this workshop you'll not only be able to know when you shouldn't use jQuery (and when you should), but also how to do it.
The day will consist of topic presentations and a number of hands-on projects & exercises.
To get the most out of this course you should have experience of using jQuery and some basic knowledge of programming.
It would also be great if you can bring along some jQuery code that you've written.

Q: Show that if $ \gcd(|G|,|H|) = 1 $, then $ \text{Aut}(G \times H) \cong \text{Aut}(G) \times \text{Aut}(H) $. Let $ G $ and $ H $ be finite groups. If $ \gcd(|G|,|H|) = 1 $, then I want to show that
$$
\text{Aut}(G \times H) \cong \text{Aut}(G) \times \text{Aut}(H).
$$
In my attempt, I first defined the map $ f: \text{Aut}(G) \times \text{Aut}(H) \to \text{Aut}(G \times H) $ by
$$
\forall (\phi_{G},\phi_{H}) \in \text{Aut}(G) \times \text{Aut}(H): \quad
f(\phi_{G},\phi_{H}) \stackrel{\text{def}}{=} \phi_{G} \times \phi_{H},
$$
but I don't know how to use the fact that $ \gcd(|G|,|H|) = 1 $.

A: Automatically ${\rm Aut}(G)\times{\rm Aut}(H)\subseteq{\rm Aut}(G\times H)$. The gcd condition forces this to be an equality.
Let $\phi\in{\rm Aut}(G\times H)$. Show $\phi(G\times1)= G\times1$; argue $\subseteq$ by contradiction (show the order of an element outside of $G\times1$ is divisible by a factor of $|H|$...). Symmetrically, $\phi(1\times H)=1\times H$.
After that it is straightforward to check $\phi=(\phi|_G,\phi|_H)$, hence $\phi\in{\rm Aut}(G)\times{\rm Aut}(H)$.

Modesto 6 6 5 12 29
Pts: Maiya Flores - 18
Reb: 2 Players (#30, #32) - 6
Ast: 2 Players (#13, #24) - 3
Pts: Dezmine Washington - 8
Reb: Dezmine Washington - 8
SRJC 62, Modesto Junior College 29
The Bear Cubs (4-7, 0-2) traveled to Modesto to take on the Pirates (2-9, 0-2) in their only Saturday Big 8 contest. Cammie Barsuglia scored the first basket of the game after she was able to weave her way around the defense with the dribble and through an opening to the basket. Eighteen seconds later Dezmine Washington sank a pull-up jumper to tie the score. Shayla Newman's back-to-back inside shots put the Bear Cubs ahead 6-2 with 7:48 on the clock. Two and a half minutes later the Pirates scored on a 3-footer. Meanwhile the Bear Cubs missed seven shots before Lilly Orozco's 7-footer at the 3:40 mark. Their next time down, Lizeth Zavala drove baseline and flipped in a reverse layup for a 10-4 lead. DJ Hayes' scoring drive and Zavala's layup with 1:48 left stretched the lead to 14-4. About a minute later the Pirates hit a 20-footer to make the Bear Cubs' advantage 14-6 by the end of the quarter.
The Bear Cubs missed their first five shots of the second quarter before Shayla Newman's putback with 8:00 on the clock. Maiya Flores missed a 20-footer and then sank two 3-pointers in a row to widen the lead to 22-6. Washington's field goal at the 6:00 mark got the Pirates to 8 on the scoreboard. Newman and Flores scored on consecutive fast break layups before the midpoint of the quarter. DJ Hayes drained a 10-footer, the Bear Cubs' last basket of the period, with 4:10 left. The Pirates added two field goals and Hayes and Barsuglia each put in one of two free throws to make the halftime score 30-12.
After missing their first shot of the third quarter, the Bear Cubs made four in a row—layups by Cammie Barsuglia, Britta Irvine, and DJ Hayes and a 3-pointer by Maiya Flores—to get ahead 38-14 with 5:58 on the clock. Following a single Bear Cubs' miss, Maddie Strom got open inside on a quick cut and sank the shot. Barsuglia and Flores swished back-to-back shots from beyond the arc. Flores missed her next 3-point attempt, and then sank the one after that with two seconds left to widen their lead to 51-17 by the end of the period.
Lilly Orozco drew a shooting foul 33 seconds into the fourth quarter and made just the second free throw. Alexis Robinson banked in a putback 27 seconds later. With 8:18 on the clock Orozco got open on a backdoor cut and dropped in the shot. Brooke Sawyer swished a Pirate 3-pointer with 6:40 left. Ten seconds later Orozco again drew a shooting foul and just like before, made just the second free throw. Maddie Strom completed a successful post move around a defender at the 5:40 mark. Following Washington's field goal, Strom put in a 2-footer for a 59-24 margin with 3:18 remaining. The Pirates finished the game with a free throw and two field goals. Lizeth Zavala scored on a drive, and DJ Hayes made one of two free throws to get the final score to 62-29 in the Bear Cubs' first Big 8 victory.
The Bear Cubs shooters took a while to find their range as they made only 7 out of 20 shots (35%) in the first quarter. By contrast, they only missed 3 shots in the third quarter, sinking 8 out of 11 (73%), including 4 out of 6 from 3-point land. Maiya Flores missed her first 6 shots of the game, and then hit 6 out of 9 during the remainder of the contest.
Maiya Flores was the only player on either team to score in double figures. She made 5 3-pointers, one field goal, and one free throw for 18 points. DJ Hayes, Cammie Barsuglia, and Shayla Newman totaled 8 points each. Lizeth Zavala, Lilly Orozco, and Maddie Strom each tallied 6 points, and Britta Irvine added 2. All 9 Bear Cubs grabbed at least one rebound and one steal. Newman and Strom each pulled down 6 rebounds. Hayes hustled and pressured to come up with 6 steals. Irvine and Barsuglia each passed for 3 assists.

The Lheidli T'enneh Band also known as the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation and historically known as the Fort George Indian Band  is the First Nations band government for the Lheidli T'enneh, a subgroup of the Dakelh people whose traditional territory includes the City of Prince George, British Columbia. The name means "The People from the confluence of the two rivers" in the Carrier language referring to how the Nechako River enters the Fraser River at Prince George.

The Lheidli T'enneh are Carrier people. Their traditional language, now spoken only by a few people, is a dialect of the Carrier language. The Lheidli T'enneh did not have permanent settlements in what is modern day Prince George until the arrival of the HBC post Fort George. Temporary and seasonal settlements were used across the traditional territory and archeological evidence of fishing camps along the Nechako and Fraser rivers as well as the Beaverly area.

19th and 20th centuries

HBC Trading Post
The Northwest Company established a trading post near the confluence of the Nechako and Fraser rivers in the early 1820s, the Northwest Company and Husdon's Bay Company merged in 1821. First Nations in the area were expected to bring furs to the post in exchange for goods. This original post was closed in 1824 but rebuilt in 1829 further down the Fraser river. The HBC Fort George Trading post was part of a series of HBC posts in the north.

First Nations who traded with the HBC post soon developed a permanent settlement close to Fort George trading post along the Fraser river towards the confluence. In 1839 a census of the Lheidli village recorded 75 men, 50 women and 62 children for a total of 187. in 1883 the Fort George Indian Reserve was established, the footprint of which would later become the land wanted and acquired by the Grand Trunk pacific Railway to build its Prince George townsite. The Fort George Reserve No.1 encompassed 1366 acres. Three other reserve sites were also surveyed around the region. The land was considered to be agriculturally worthless and remote enough to not interfere the development. Census in the 1890's there were 29 houses with 124 residents in the village. People living in the village relied on hunting, fishing, and trapping and had also cultivated garden patches as trade with the HBC post diminished.

Roman Catholic priests an Oblate missionaries from other posts in the region visited the Lheidli T'enneh often.

Acquisition of Reserve No.1 by the Railway
In 1908, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway identified the Reserve No.1 land as an ideal area for a railway and station site, and attempted to claim all the 1366 acres as needed for railway purposes, and thus circumvent negotiations with the Department of Indian Affairs. This was rejected. The Department of Indian Affairs wished to protect the Lheidli T'enneh's interests but also supported railway development. By 1910 the DIA agent in the area was concerned about the influence of white settlers on the Lheidli T'enneh, including the supply of liquor to the village and that "civilization has overtaken them too rapidly" DIA Indian Agent John McDougall however saw that the Lheidli T'enneh had come to see the value of the land and employed that in negotiations.

Between 1908 to 1911 several offers for the acquisition of the Reserve No.1 lands were made by the GTP and others such as Charles Millar (of BC Express) who wanted to develop the land. The Department of Indian Affairs in conjunction with railroad representatives made several offers for the land. In 1910 Chief Louis described the attachment to the land and village to McDougall, who reported that "Land, Cash, and farm equipment" would be needed to overcome resistance, and the band was considered to be averse to a sale. McDougall met with Chief Louis again in December of 1910 offering $68,300 ($50/acre) but Chief Louis told McDougall that "they could not in their present mind surrender this reserve". A vote was held at a meeting two days later with members of the Band over age 21. the vote approved the surrender of the reserve land 12-11, but Chief Louis asked to talk with his people and the Band did not consider the vote final. The Band appointed Oblate Missionary E.C Bellot as an emissary to Ottawa with a larger cash demand of $1000 per acre, which was refused by DIA representatives. Upon return to Fort George, a new vote by the Band unanimously turned down the sale. During this time, the business developers of Fort George Townsite opposed the sale of the reserve lands as it would lead to its rival building a competing town while South Fort George, which was built close to the old HBC Post and the village, welcomed the railway and its townsite.

In 1911, federal Indian agent W.J. MacAllan took on the negotiations with assistance from Reverend Father Coccola. Father Coccola conflicted role as he had interests in the well being of the Lheidli T'enneh but was also negotiating on behalf of the railway company which might connect to his mission on Stuart Lake. Father Coccola had wanted to relocated the Lheidli T'enneh to a safer area where they would be away from settlers and could be schooled in agriculture and in religion. Coccola suggested to the band that "if it tolerated intoxicating liquor and moral disorders, he would be the first to insist to have them removed". Coccola made several statements that he would convince or persuade the Band to relocate if they refused offers, and even involved himself in pricing amounts that could be offers to the Lheidli T'enneh. With several offers and refusals, the Lheidli T'enneh saw a split in support for a land sale. Chief Louis favored the surrender of the land, but Joseph Quah, an influential leader in the Band, wanted a higher price.

On 18 November 1911, The Fort George Indian Band eventually agreed to sell the Reserve No.1 lands for $125,000 (one quarter to be paid immediately) which included $25,000 for construction on reserve No.2 and No.3 and the preservation of the original village cemetery. The band committed to relocate by June 1912. The vote for this agreement saw 32 in favor and one against, and three abstentions. The timeline was difficult to keep as new buildings had to be constructed. Delays in contracts being awarded by the government to build a new village meant that few could move by the deadline and Band members planted crops needed later in the year. The June 1912 payment was withheld as the DIA saw the planting as refusal to leave. Chief Louis argued that the agreement stated that the payment was to be made in June and was not contingent on relocation. Winter was also coming and the crops would be needed if the new village was not built or supplies given to the Band.

The new village was completed in 1913 with Band members moving there in September. The old village was destroyed "to force the Indians away" and ensure that it was not reoccupied. The Fort George Herald reported the destruction of the old village as "the torch of the white man will be thrust into the remaining houses and the village will disappear quietly in a cloud of smoke". Indian Agent W. J. MacAllan's accounts of the situation reveal a need on his part and the part of the GTP to strong arm the bandmembers out, targeting two cabins in the village that were empty as the residents were away hinting "I knew that to set fire to the cabins would cause a flare up of intense excitement and give me the break I needed, for a crisis had to be created before the deadlock could be broken".

The site of Reserve No.2 (Shelley) was much further away from the new Prince George townsite and other communities. The land was not particularly fertile for agriculture and the Band suffered economically. The site of the old village and the HBC post would become Fort George Park. The Cemetery would become Reserve No.1A.

21st century
There are approximately 400 members of the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation. Many also live off the reserve.

The Lheidli T'enneh Treaty
On October 29, 2006 the Lheidli T'enneh became the first people to initiate a treaty with British Columbia and Canada within the framework of the British Columbia Treaty Process created in response to the Delgamuukw case. It remains for the treaty to be ratified by a vote of Lheidli T'enneh band members, by the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, and by the Canadian Parliament.

On February 9, 2007 the Treaty 8 First Nations launched a legal challenge of the ratification of Lheidli T'enneh treaty.  The Treaty 8 First Nations asserted that Canada, British Columbia and the Lheidli T'enneh did not adequately consult them about the overlap of the Lheidli T'enneh treaty area and the area of Treaty 8.

The Treaty 8 First Nations sought an interlocutory injunction preventing the ratification of the treaty until such time as the parties resolves the issues of the overlap.  Justice Wilson of the Supreme Court of British Columbia denied the plaintiff's application for an interlocutory injunction.

A similar challenge was launched by the Secwepemc Nation on March 12, 2007.

The Lheidli T'enneh band members did not ratify the treaty in a treaty ratification vote held on March 30, 2007.  In the vote 123 people voted against the treaty and 111 voted in favour of it.

In response to this outcome, the British Columbia Treaty Commission undertook a "Lheidli T'enneh Communications Probe" to determine why the treaty was not ratified. This included a survey carried out by the Mustel Group, a marketing and public opinion research firm based in Vancouver.

The Lheidli T'enneh nation is currently preparing for another ratification vote.

Canada Winter Games
The City of Prince George, as part of its 100th anniversary celebrations, hosted the 2015 Canada Winter Games. The Lheidli T'enneh were the Official Host First Nation, the first time the Games acknowledged a First Nations as a formal partner.

Fort George Park renaming
In 2015, Prince George City Council voted in favor of renaming Fort George Park, which is the location of the original HBC post and Lheidli T'enneh village, to Lheidli T'enneh Memorial Park.

In 2017, 11 human remains were found in an area of the park being developed for a new shelter. The area where remains were found is outside the fence line of the established Cemetery (reserve No.1A), but the fence line of the cemetery is disputed, and remains area likely to be found in a large area around the Cemetery.

Treaty debate

In June 2018, the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation voted against a proposed treaty with the federal and provincial governments, which would have granted self-governance powers.

Pipeline explosion
The Lheidli T'enneh First Nation was affected by an explosion on the Enbridge BC Pipeline in October 2018. The explosion forced about 100 members of the Band to evacuate their homes, even though nobody was hurt in the  explosion, and no property was damaged apart from the pipeline itself.  In 2019, the  First Nation filed a lawsuit seeking a permanent injunction which would prevent Enbridge from operating the pipeline in their territory and reserves, and require the company to dismantle the pipeline and restore the affected lands to their natural state.

Potlatch (Balhats)
In November 2019, the Lheidli T'enneh hosted their first potlatch (Balhat) in 73 years.

Chief and Council
Elected for a two-year term on April 09, 2021.

 Councillor Helen Buzas
 Councillor Crystal Gibbs
 Councillor Marcel Gagnon
 Councillor Joshua Seymour

New Video of United Airlines Passenger Who Died Receiving CPR Mid-Flight, COVID Scare
United Airlines New Video of United Passenger Receiving CPR ... Probable COVID-Related Death
12/20/2020 1:47 PM PT
TRYING TO SAVE A LIFE
The United Airlines passenger who appears to have died from COVID-19 complications was laid out in the middle of the floor and getting CPR in a compact area -- which is now seen on video.
TMZ has obtained footage of the moment fellow passengers stepped in to do chest compressions on the man -- who fell unconscious earlier this week while United Flight 591 was up in the air and on its way to L.A. from Orlando.
As we reported, passengers say the man's wife said, during the emergency, her husband had various symptoms, including a loss of taste and smell and shortness of breath, yet he did not disclose this before boarding.
As you can see, it was a tense scene as passengers in surrounding rows looked on while one of three trained professionals administered CPR for almost an hour before the plane could land in New Orleans and get the man to a hospital, where he ultimately died.
PASSENGER TONY ALDAPA, EMT
One of those people who was rotating in to help was EMT Tony Aldapa, who gave us his first-hand account ... and it sounds like he was willing to risk potential exposure to help save the man's life.
No one knows for certain if the man had the virus -- but some of the passengers believe he did ... and also fear they may have been infected. Tony tells us they took the man's mask off but replaced it with an oxygen mask. Still, it creates lots of worry for those on board.
It's a huge problem that has mostly gone unaddressed until now ... the fact that there's virtually no way of weeding someone out who might have COVID from getting on a plane and putting everyone else's life at risk. The honor system is only as good as the honesty of the passengers, and that's clearly a problem.
United says it's working with health officials to reach out to the passengers of Flight 591 to let them know they might have been exposed to the virus.

Anne Hanson is a metal smith and jewelry designer who works in a variety of metals, primarily Argentium sterling silver, 14k gold, and Bimetal (18K gold on silver). Texturing and dimension are hallmark style elements in Anne's unique designs. Her line of jewelry is handcrafted solely by her, using traditional smithing methods of forging, roller printing, and soldering. Initially self-taught, she received a B.A. in Art Education from Cornell College in Iowa, with her senior thesis in jewelry and ceramics. Her art career was put on hold, while she and her husband owned and operated a 200+ acre dairy farm in Wisconsin, where they raised three daughters. Upon moving to New England, Anne rekindled her passion to express herself through jewelry and furthered her education via master classes at the DeCordova Museum, in Lincoln, MA, the Worcester Center for Crafts, and the MetalWerx in Waltham, MA.
In the summer of 2004, Anne suffered a stroke, which impaired her speech and all dominant side motor skills. The Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission's Assistive Technology Center helped to modify her studio space, creating methods and tools that make it possible for Anne to work once again. Undeterred by some physical limitations, she works with mainly her left hand, creating intricate and detailed jewelry.
Anne now operates her jewelry business from a home studio in a rural area near Ruckersville, VA, and continues to sell to galleries primarily on the east coast. She has earned professional state-jury status in the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, and in the past, her collection has been selected for Artist of the year Traveling Exhibit. She also has exhibited in regional exhibitions of arts and crafts at the Fitchburg Art Museum, Fitchburg, MA.
Prior to moving to Virginia, Anne was an active member and former president of the Merrimack Valley Artisans, a group devoted to high quality and fine workmanship in a variety of artistic media.
Quilting is another artistic endeavor for Anne. In the past, she taught quilting in the Groton-Dunstable Middle School, having organized the "ABC QUILTS" group that met weekly after school throughout the year. In 5 years, the children under Anne's supervision made over 80 quilts for "at-risk" infants and toddlers. Anne won the Directors' Choice Award for her custom designed quilt in the 1991 East Coast Quilters Alliance Show in Westford, MA.

Hex Hall Book One
7:00 pm 19 November 2011
Add me to the group of readers who found Hex Hall an awesome read. I think one of the reasons why I liked it as much as I did was because of how endearing the protagonist, Sophie, comes across and the distinct humor that peppers the book in places. (Lovechild of Barbie and Strawberry Shortcake = priceless. That and Sophie yelling "Bad Dog!" as a werewolf's about to attack her.)When Sophie, a young witch, showcases her powers in a love spell gone horribly wrong at her prom, she ends up sent by her parents to Hex Hall, a school for a multitude of paranormal beings. Witches, Werewolves, Shapeshifters, and Vampires to name a few. Things aren't necessarily easy for Sophie at the boarding school as she manages to earn the ire of the teachers, crushing over one of the hottest warlocks at school (whose girlfriend isn't particularly happy about it), and ends up rooming with one of only two vampires at the school, who has quite a dark cloud following her in terms of a reputation at the school. Sophie starts digging into a series of mysterious attacks on the students of Hex Hall, and in the process discovers the truth behind the events as well as questions surrounding her own identity. It's an entertaining ride, and certainly one that kept me reading all the way through until the end. The only thing I would say that bothered me was that Sophie seemed younger than her noted age in places, but I found it evened out as the book went along. It's a light read, one that I think young adult readers would enjoy, as it seems appropriate for those of the younger demographic in YA, but those who are older and looking for a light read would also find entertaining. I wouldn't go into it expecting a lot. Despite comparisons of this being a Harry Potter for girls in some circles, it doesn't go into as much worldbuilding or the depth of themes that Harry Potter does. Instead, I'd say this is a light romp of a paranormal school story with some fun moments and interesting twists that lead into potential for a promising sequel. Certainly worth the read and I can't wait to read the follow-up "Demonglass".Overall score: 3.5/5

Holding Value: Inspired by The V&A's New Exhibition, These Are the Bags To Invest In Now
Over the weekend, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London officially opened its doors after months of lockdown during the pandemic.
Saturday saw visitors returning to the cultural institution and the debut of a brand new exhibition titled "Bags: Inside Out," which highlights iconic bags throughout history, ranging from Margaret Thatcher's favorite lady-like tote from Asprey to the sparkly Fendi baguette made real-life famous when it appeared on the arm of the fictional character, Carrie Bradshaw, in Sex and the City. And while this exhibition was originally slated for April, it's hard to imagine a more apt time than now to bring the bag to the center of the fashion discussion.
As Vogue's Accessories Director, fashion fans both inside and outside of the industry have often asked me about the It-bag: do I believe in it? What is "It"? Is the It-bag over, and if so, why? Could this bag be an It-bag? Their curiosity makes sense. The phenomenon of the It-bag has proven to be big business for major fashion houses over the years, but as an editor, I've watched the industry move away from the must-own bag and instead gravitate towards the cult of the personality purse.
The constraints of the pandemic have given us few reasons to carry a handbag outside of pure utilitarianism. We carry our reusable totes for groceries or a wallet-like-bag that attaches to keys or holds hand sanitizer. Carrying a proper purse, whether it be for a quick walk around the block or even just around your own house, is purely for the pleasure of doing so. A bag for the bag's sake. Now, more than ever, owning handbags is about a personal and emotional connection, as well investment. I know if I'm going to buy a bag in 2020 or 2021, it needs to be something that, quite literally, holds its value in addition to putting a smile on my face.
This idea of value is at the core of the V&A's new exhibit, which serves to show off just how long the lifespan of a good handbag can be. The show not only focuses on some of the designer bags we know to be heritage pieces, like Hermès' infamous Kelly top handle but also more modern options, like Anya Hindmarch's incredibly clever and sustainable "I Am Not A Plastic Bag" tote or Manu Atelier's Pristine style that shows the exemplary craftsmanship of a family-owned leather artisan workshop, sans a price tag that brings up thoughts of mid-sized cars or tuition payments.
Outside of the personal connection I find that this exhibit perfectly encapsulates by bringing not only the bag but the wearer to the forefront, the timeliness of the show and the handbags it spotlights is very much in line with where the market is now. From conversations with some of our favorite multi-brand retailers, we are hearing of steady and increasing handbags sales. Across the board, the market trends speak to the consumer's desire to invest in beautiful bags that will stand the test of time much in the way that the bags do now in the V&A's display cases.
Getting into the facts and figures, Libby Page, Senior Fashion Market Editor at Net-a-Porter, tells us, "luxury bags have been one of our strongest categories recently as customers used this time to finally invest in their forever bag." She adds, "we saw huge interest with Bottega Veneta, Gucci, and Saint Laurent, and, just in the last few months, we sold over triple of the Loewe Puzzle versus last year." Finding a brand that a customer has an emotional and potentially lifelong relationship with is also in line with what Tracy Margolies, Chief Merchant of Saks Fifth Avenue, is seeing. As she notes, "our customers connected to brands they know and love more than ever this year. They were drawn to emotional, timeless investment pieces that sparked joy by designers, such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Saint Laurent and Fendi." Similarly, Cassie Smart, head of womenswear at MATCHESFASHION, tells us, "we have seen a real uplift in customers making more considered handbag purchases, meaning pieces that are timeless, will work hard in your wardrobe, and that you will treasure forever." She adds, "whether heritage styles from the big fashion houses like the Gucci 1955 Horsebit, Bottega Veneta Chain Cassette or Saint Laurent Loulou, or more emerging names with an original point of view, for example the Dragon Diffusion Totes which have been selling out."
Handbags are certainly big business, but the business of buying them is done with as much head as heart. As the V&A exhibit proves, there are few things more precious than a well-made and well-worn tote or top handle, and few fashion items that will feel as special for years to come.

RFS Analysis Finds 'Tremendous Progress' Made Toward Meeting Energy, Environmental, Economic Goals of RFS2
Ten years ago today, Dec. 19, President George W. Bush signed into law the Energy Independence and Security Act, greatly expanding the scope and impact of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). In the decade since passage, significant progress has been made towards greater energy security, cleaner air and boosting local economies, according to a new analysis by the Renewable Fuels Association, "The RFS2: Then and Now."
The RFS requires oil companies to blend increasing volumes of renewable fuels with gasoline and diesel, culminating with 36 billion gallons in 2022.
"A decade after the RFS2 was adopted, tremendous progress has been made toward achieving the objectives of this landmark policy," according to the analysis, which compares key data points from 2007 to 2017.
Among the highlights:
The number of operational U.S. ethanol plants has nearly doubled from 110 in 2007 to 211 in 2017, a 92% increase, while U.S. ethanol production has grown 143% from 6.5 billion gallons in 2007 to 15.8 billion gallons in 2017;
U.S. ethanol industry jobs grew 42% from 238,541 in 2007 to 339,176, with the value of industry output increasing 74% from $17.8 billion in 2007 to $31 billion in 2017;
The production of advanced and cellulosic biofuel increased 469% from 490 million gallons in 2007 to 2.79 billion gallons in 2017;
U.S. corn production grew 12% from 13 billion bushels in 2007 to 14.6 billion bushels in 2017, while corn acres planted fell 3% from 93.5 million acres in 2007 to 90.4 million acres in 2007 and average corn yields increased 16% from 150 bushels per acre in 2007 to 175.4 bushels per acre in 2017;
The number of retail stations offering flex fuels like E85 increased 238% from 1,208 in 2007 to 4,077 in 2017, while the number of flex fuel vehicles on the road grew from 6.7 million in 2007 to 24.5 million in 2017, a 266% increase; and
The greenhouse gas emissions avoided from using ethanol has increased 291% from 12.7 million tons CO2e in 2007 to 49.6 million tons CO2e in 2017.
Meanwhile, the doomsday outcomes threatened by RFS opponents have simply not materialized.
U.S. cropland area fell 6% from 402 million acres in 2007 to 376 million acres in 2017, while U.S. grassland area has increased 5% from 1,296 thousand square miles to 1,359 thousand square miles.
The deforestation rate in the Amazon fell 43% from 4,498 square miles in 2007 to 2,558 square miles in 2017;
The greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural soil management, urea fertilization, and liming fell 7% from 278.7 million metric tons CO2e in 2007 to 260.1 million metric tons CO2e in 2017;
Overall food inflation was 4% in 2007, but 1% in 2017;
Prices for red meat, poultry, fish, cereals and bakery items, and dairy were unchanged in 2017 from the previous year, as compared to a 3.8% increase in 2007; and
World grain supply for coarse grains, wheat, and rice increased 31% to 3.23 billion metric tons in 2017, as compared to 2.46 billion metric tons in 2007.
"By any measure, RFS2 has been a huge success, bringing about greater consumer choice while helping to make the air cleaner, stimulate economic activity and enhance energy security," said Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Bob Dinneen. "As this analysis shows, consumers have greatly benefitted from this vital program. These benefits have rippled throughout our economy and we look forward to even greater success of the RFS for years to come."
The full analysis is available here.

Q: How exactly does compare method in comparator work? So I want to sort this numbers in list from smallest to biggest. In compare method it look like it is sorting desceding at first, but after the compare method is done with sorting, list is ascended sorted as I was expecting.
Main:
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] main){
        Integer[] numbers = {3,2,6,1};
        List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(numbers);

        Collections.sort(list,new SortNumbers());

        System.out.println(list);
    }
}

SortNumbers class:
import java.util.Comparator;

public class SortNumbers implements Comparator<Integer> {
    @Override
    public int compare(Integer i1, Integer i2) {
        if(i1 > i2){
            System.out.println(i1 + " " + i2 + " -> returns 1");
            return 1;
        }else{
            System.out.println(i1 + " " + i2 + " -> returns -1");
            return -1;
        }
    }
}

Output:
2 3 -> returns -1
6 2 -> returns 1
6 3 -> returns 1
1 3 -> returns -1
1 2 -> returns -1
[1, 2, 3, 6]

And also I dont understand why was method comparing 1 and 3 because they are never next to each other.

A: When you call sort, Java internally uses Tim sort to sort the list. (Note that the actual used sorting method is not a requirement by the language, future updates for Java may chance it even in minor updates)
Since your list is smaller than the typical threshold used for Tim sorts merge vs insertion behavior, it Tim sort delegates sorting your list to insertion sorting.
Java then uses a variant of insertion sort that tries to minimize the comparisons done by using a binary search to find the index.
It starts with:
Sorted: []
Unsorted: [3,2,6,1]

It picks the first number, no further checks are done, sine a list of 1 is always sorted
Sorted: [3]
Unsorted: [2,6,1]

It then looks at the second number, and sees that it is smaller, so it puts it before the 3. One observation here, is that it puts the item under test in the A variable, note that this is an implementation detail. Because the compare function return -1, it knows the item has to be inserted to the left of the checked element)
Comparisons done: (2, 3) => -1
Sorted: [2,3]
Unsorted: [6,1]

Now that we have 2 numbers, we either have to pick the first or second one and hope it was the best choose, java always compares it with the first number
Comparisons done: (6, 2) => 1, (6, 3) => 1
Sorted: [2, 3, 6]
Unsorted: [1]

Now we are the last item, we first call the compare function between 1 and 3. We either get lucky and it returns 0, or we have to do 1 call more to see where the item belongs
Comparisons done: (1, 3) => -1, (1, 2) => -1
Sorted: [1, 2, 3, 6]
Unsorted: []

We are done with the algorithm

BK 8794 1924 Daimler Platform Lorry.
On Display at The Beamish Open Air Museum near Durham.
Rolls-Royce Phantom III... Chassis No. 3AZ54. Reg No. AWD 578.
More correctly a limousine than a saloon, as it has a division and occasional seats, but termed a Saloon by Crosbie & Dunn who bodied this model, this is the only Phantom III bodied by them, which adds to its attraction and makes it relatively unique. The car is correct and original, including the well-appointed blue cloth rear interior.
Picture was taken at the Leyland Festival (July 2011).
During the 1960s the AA's (Breakdown and recovery service) motorcycle combinations were phased out in favour of vans, mostly Minivans, although other types were also used, including a fleet of around 100 Minor vans bought between 1968 and 1970.
The British Motor Corporation (BMC), owners of Austin and Morris amongst others, decided in 1967 that the Morris Minor van should also be available as an Austin alternative. This particular vehicle was photographed at the 2011 Leyland Festival (UK) Taken h July 2011.
For reasons now lost the AA favoured the Austin version, which apart from the badges, radiator grille and engine colour was identical to the Morris, in fact although the engines were badged as either Morris or Austin they were in fact identical.
AA Minors were fitted with the optional alternator instead of the standard dynamo to make sure they were able to cope with the extra electrical demands from the front spotlights, roof sign, flashing light and two-way radio and the rear number plate was roof-mounted to make way for the tow-bar.
This example of an AA Austin Minor was traced through its registration YYK 643H and was rescued from the front garden of a house in South-east London in 1998 after a long search for an ex-AA Minor.
170 UXR 1933 Austin Seven. Photo taken at the 2011 Leyland Festival.
The Austin 7 was a car produced from 1922 through to 1939 in the United Kingdom by the Austin Motor Company. Nicknamed the "Baby Austin", it was one of the most popular cars ever produced for the British market, and sold well abroad. It wiped out most other British small cars and cyclecars of the early 1920s; its effect on the British market was similar to that of the Model T Ford in the USA. It was also licensed and copied by companies all over the world.
In 1926, production of the Overland ended and was replaced by the Whippet brand of small cars. Following the stock-market crash of 1929 and the economic depression that soon followed, a number of Willys automotive brands began to falter. Stearns-Knight was liquidated in 1929. Whippet production ended in 1931, its models replaced by the Willys Six and Eight. Production of the Willys-Knight ended in 1933.
This model was first registered on the 1st of August 1983 and is quite rare because the model was a tie up between Austin Rover Group and Honda and was only produced for 3 years between 1981 � 1984. It has a 1335cc Honda engine and a five speed gearbox. The model was replaced by the Rover 213 and 216.
After speaking to the owner I found out that this particular model is finished in Monza red and carries its original paintwork.

ARMA 2 & OA - SUGGESTIONS
ARMA 2 & OPERATION ARROWHEAD
Composure Level
By Skewballzz, September 21, 2005 in ARMA 2 & OA - SUGGESTIONS
Skewballzz 0
All is calm. Everything looks normal. Suddenly you hear the wiz of a bullet inches from your head. Your screen becomes blurry for a moment. You recover. MG fire in the distace. The screen appears to shiver slightly. A tank shell explodes to your right. Everything becomes washed out as the explosion attracts all attention. All because you are a soldier in OFP2* with the lowest skill level.
Here's my idea...
OFP simulates combat. Yet one thing left untouched is the human aspect of the game on an individual level. Yes, you can make AI seem to panic if a grenade goes off near them, but that is just the begining.
What if you could simulate the confusion, chaos, dissorientation, and most importantly, EMOTION, of a battle for a player?
I'll explain. I was playing around with the glare setting w/ DXDLL. Then i got it so everything left trails and such. Now what if that happended to the player when certain stimuli were triggered? Now take the level of stimulation needed to cause effects and base it on the skill level of the unit, or a whole new "composure level".
Certain events may cause different reactions based on how skilled or composed a unit is. Take enemy fire for example. Enemy units are 400m out. They begin to take shots at you. Your composure level is low - .1 As the enemy bullets begin to zero in on you, your screen becomes slightly blurry. A few rounds kick up dirt in your face. Everything is impossible to see as life is a blur. suddenly another squad attracts the attention of your enemy. As the engage them and stop firing on you, things become more focused and clear.
That adds another way to add something OFP lacks...
Suppression. In a game dominated by AI that will do nothing but run or shoot right back at you, your options are small. Add in a supression system, and BOOM, new level of gameplay added.
How do you add supression to OFP?
A composure level setting for each individual unit that effects AI and human players alike. No longer will the skill level of a unit not affect the human player inside of it.

Neat idea , something of this sorts is incorporated in the Brother in Arms game i think but not the whole thing.

Ive got to say, Smartist idea ive heard all year.
Its a GREAT idea! I love it.
thanx guys. Came to me when I was working on a mission where you're a fresh off the boat soldier. I was trying to find a way to "hinder" good players to the level of a no experience guy.
Rumsfield 1
Genius idea, I hope to see it in OFP 2!!!
Jinef 2
I disagree with this idea because I don't think it portrays reality.
All boy racers hands up
*looks at Bravo the Mank*
You just turned a corner at 89mph, the car lifted up to one side and you just made it round without rolling. You are sweating, breathing hard and on one serious adrenalin comedown. If you think back to that situation you did not have blurry vision, you weren't scared at the exact moment of turning and you knew exactly where your hands where. You knew the number of revs your engine was doing and the exact speed because the rush of adrenalin made you super alert.
I have never been shot at, I have cut a few very sharp corners and been on the edge quite a few times though.
Adrenalin is one the most powerful drugs you can have. You find yourself with extra strength, super sharp senses and very clear thinking. It is pure animal instinct and survival coming out.

If you are shot with regular ammunition your view doesn´t get blurred. In fact your body is put in 150 percent "aware" mode, where you see more, hear more and react faster instantly.
Blurry vision ? No.
After a while you get used to those situations and don´t worry much anymore. The end result is that you are sleeping in an enforced barrack with mortars going down around and you don´t even wake up anymore.
What if you are shot at with irregular ammuntion?
chipper 0
then you say this
bonko the sane 2
a good thing would be blurriness and shaking screen caused by a nearby explosion..." a la Red Orchestra", thats plausible, better than the current whiteout in OFP anyway (which im not criticizing at all)
Baphomet 0
I've mentioned something like this before. However I think it should be manifested conceptually, in more practical features. Like the integrated steadiness of the hands in OFP. When you're under fire and stressed out. The greenhorn isn't going to have nearly as steady a hand when trying to aim as the seasoned veteran.
Start from there. Fill in the blanks.
And I agree. It's a great idea.
most of the effects i mentioned erlier would be applied mostly to low skill level units. those low level soldiers do not snap into 150% mode like vets do. The whole idea is to work physical and mental emotion into the skill level of a unit. Most, if not all the AI act like SF under fire. Explain how a unit with .1 skill can fire back everytime after 3 of his squadmates are shot within 5 seconds and an MG is filling the dirt around him with depleated uranium. Any "green" soldier would panic and most likely freeze.
Freezing is not the same as blurry vision like you said before.
Military training in the British Army is kept simple. So when put in to stressful situations you know from your training what you have to do.
Even recruits snap into 150% awareness mode, it has nothing to do with skill, experience. It is all about fear and the adrenalin. Fear occurs to all soldiers, stress occurs to all soldiers. It is simply about how they apply their training despite how scared shitless they are.
As for what you said about the guy seeing two fellow soldiers die. 2 words should be going through his head. Suppress and Communicate. If he doesn't fire he may get killed, other soldiers may get killed. He needs to fix the position with fire and warn other soldiers of it's presence to allow them to aid in suppression/destruction.
Good soldiers follow orders/training first, think second.
Freezing does occur. Usually during situations where training was too complex, or orders were too complex. Basically any time the infantry soldier has to think, the more he is going to realise what a fucking idiot he was for joining the Army and he is going to fear death.
The British military keeps it as simple as possible so that when in a situation every soldier will know what to do.
Keep it simple, Keep it simple, Keep it simple.
To represent this in game is hard, as it requires mental conditioning to be a soldier. Someone with a higher rank on his DPMs might as well be God. You just do, you don't think.
As an admin/mission leader on a server exercising teamwork enforced by discipline in large scale coops and adversarial scenarios, I know that gamers do have a difficulty grasping the military values. A lot of the war boffins on here could rarely follow orders, too civilianised. In order to follow orders people generally need to feel respect towards the person leading them. In the real military you generally think the officer is a right tosser and don't respect him. You follow his orders though.
Officers get to think in small amounts. The people who should think most are the high echelon military commanders (they do), politicians and the general public.
End of background info.
To simulate this in a game would be difficult. Fear and adrenalin can be simulated by heavy breathing, harder to control weapon as someone else suggested would be OK.
This effect is more severe the lower the experience factor maybe.
However if the game is real enough, and you positively fear your life (A campaign mode where you only get 1 life). The fear and adrenalin will come anyway. I have only felt scared in OFP a few times, mainly on after montignac where you are being hunted. Notice how many people loved that mission as they were scared. Ever wonder why people like watching shit films like the Grudge and going on rollercoasters - fear sells.
Anyway, I am babbling again.
jinef, great points... never looked at it that way

i don't think this is a good idea, the confusion can be created pretty naturally without any visuals - in some action games, there is a lot of it, when enemies are jumping from every corner and you cant find any cover, and so on.
I think those feelings should be made in a way so the player culd actually feel them, and not to draw 'be confused'/'be ready'/'be afraid' commands on his screen. It reminds me of those stupid TV 'shows' where they shows messages to it's audience so the people know when to laugh, and when not.
But, on the other hand, it would be nice to have some deafening effect when you are near some explosion, or some blackouts when critically wounded, or something like that - but this is a simulation of consequences of physical interaction with a grenade or something, and not simulation of feelings (which i think is stupid)

Agreed, 5133--Yours is a good idea, Skew, but I think the developers should simulate the confusion and din of battle by using effects and sound to influence the player directly, instead of imposing artificial limitations on his character.
I think this could be done by having explosions, bullet whizzing, gunfire and such significantly louder relative to the non-combat environment that surrounds the player before a battle. For example, if a player is walking through a field, he hears his own footsteps, those of his squadmates, chatter, and other ambient noises at a normal volume. Then a bullet flies past the player, giving off a "WHIZZ" sound effect that is at at least double the normal volume, making the real-life player jump out of his seat! Hopefully, while he does this, he taps Z and goes prone . If there's an explosion near the player, his vision should be blurred and there should be a ringing in his ears. If the player character has been doing a lot of running, we should hear heavy panting, as well as the panting of those around him.
The confusion can also be escalated by using long-lasting, drifting smoke that covers the battlefield and obscures everything. I've never been on a battlefield, but I would imagine that there's a lot of smoke after a while. Sources would include fires, explosions, smoke grenades, surrounding terrain (i.e. dust and sand being kicked up by rotor blades and such), RPG launches and prolonged gunfire. After that, it's up to the player to pick out his targets through the smoke and engage. Maybe allied soldiers could have their "allied" label disabled if they're obscured by smoke, and the player can only judge based on how they act or what they say? Maybe we could get rid of the labels altogether?
The player can be further confused by enemy behavior, especially in urban environments. Enemies should lean around corners, run from cover to cover, give covering fire and stuff like that. Close engagements should be fast and furious.
Also, there could be civilians in the battle zones that behave very differently. They could run around confused, cower in a corner, or maybe even take up a weapon and join the fight, who he or she attacks depending upon his or her attitude toward the fighting factions?
Another way to add to the experience would be to make the player's life mean something to the player. In regular shooters like HL2 or Halo, life doesn't really mean too much because if you F up, you just respawn from your last save point, which can be anywhere. I think BIS understood this when they implemented their retry/1 save system for CWC. If you have to restart 1000 meters away from your objective when you die, you suddenly become more careful so that you won't have to go through that again. RPGs give life value by implementing penalties for the player character if he or she dies. I'm not sure how a game like Game 2 would do this, but I think BIS was on the right track with the present system.
My point here is that a player's "composure level" should depend upon the player himself, not his character, and that how he feels and acts on the battlefield should be influenced by visual and auditory effects, as well as tactically-skilled AI and a life that has value.

Q: Template is compiled before the result is returenf from $http service Hi I am trying to retrieve data from the server using $http, and correct data is being retrieved from the service, the data is -

the controller for the above template is as follows -
pk.controller("allBlogs", function($scope, $http, BlogsHandler){
    $scope.success = false;

            $scope.blogs = data.data;
        });
    })();
});

I am trying to set the success as true when the service returns data and thus the remaining part of the template should run. But this is not happening. Is it not that any change to $scope variable is being watched by the framework itself?
Help needed. I even tried with ng-switch with no effect.
Thanks

A: You assign data.data to $scope.blogs, so you don't need to add .data before blogs again.
  $scope.blogs = data.data;

So, try this:

Miso, Japanese bean paste, makes a sweet finish for this fish dish.
1. To make the miso-shallot caramel, place sugar and about 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan, and cook over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved and turns amber in color, between 10 and 12 minutes.
2. Add shallots, and toss to coat. Cook, stirring until caramel is liquid again, 1 to 2 minutes. Add miso, soy sauce, star anise, Worcestershire sauce, and Marsala wine; stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until syrupy, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, and discard anise.
3. Transfer the mixture to the jar of a blender. Puree until smooth, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.
4. Place sesame seeds in a small saute pan set over medium heat, and toast until seeds are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside to cool.
5. Heat a grill or grill pan until very hot. Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Place tuna steaks on hot grill, and cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Turn over, and continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer tuna steaks to a large cutting board; immediately brush tops with the reserved miso caramel.
6. Slice each tuna steak diagonally into 3 pieces. Garnish with the reserved toasted sesame seeds, and serve.

Identifying gender
House Bill H.3070, "An Act relative to gender identity on Massachusetts identification," is both extreme and irrational.
If passed, Massachusetts residents will have a third choice for gender on state IDs and driver's licenses: "X" (neither male nor female.) It was inspired by a transgender teen from Ashland, who became confused by having to check one of two boxes on the application: male or female.
Residents should not be permitted to arbitrarily choose, or not choose, biological markers: not gender, height, age, or eye color, because of their psychologies. Human gender is not subjective. Transgenders are biologically male or female, regardless of how they identify.
Gender presents an important identifier for law enforcement. It's also a relevant demographic marker that's often used for important research, including research on gender orientation.
H.3070 will only cause further delays and confusion at the registry when immigrants, the elderly and uninformed tie up RMV employees asking questions about the "new box" and what "X" stands for.
Every person should be treated with dignity and a reasonable degree of tolerance. However, when an entire state is subjected to new legislation because a teenager in Ashland is confused, that is not tolerance. That is tyranny.

Supporting Kraft
When Bob Kraft appeared at Sunday's Celtics game, he received a standing ovation. Jessica Heslam asks in her April 15 article, "What were they cheering? His alleged paid sex acts with women?"
No, Jessica; they were showing their support for a man who has accomplished great things in his life, from his seemingly limitless philanthropy to his astounding recreation of the Patriots from laughingstock losers to the envy of the NFL. They cheered because they will not throw a guy like this under the bus for a totally meaningless indiscretion. I look forward to the thundering standing ovation Mr. Kraft will receive when he steps onto the field for the opener at Gillette!

Targeting drug prices
In response to your article in the April 14 Sunday Herald: "Biopharma's Bitter Pill" — I certainly hope that any law that reigns in drug prices passes.
However both state and federal legislators need to take the USMCA into account. The new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, USMCA, also known as NAFTA 2, would seriously undermine any such legislation. USMCA would lock in high U.S. prices for biologicals, the newer, very expensive treatments for diseases such as cancer and rheumatoid arthritis. As currently written, it guarantees extended monopoly rights for pharmaceutical corporations to block generic competition.
This would tie the hands of this and future Congresses to change the policies that lead to higher drug prices. It would also export these bad policies to Mexico and Canada.
A growing number of Americans are demanding that these giveaways to the pharmaceutical industry be removed from USMCA. Our Congressional delegation should too.

Micromanagement
Unfortunately, under Mayor Walsh, no school superintendents will be allowed to lead BPS out of the dismal conditions that they are currently in, because Mayor Walsh needs to micromanage every aspect of city government, for which he has no knowledge or experience. Mayor Walsh requires total devotion, whether it's from union laborers or a school superintendent. Mayor Walsh's loyalty is to Mayor Walsh — everyone else is expendable or learns Mayor Walsh is a hindrance in moving Boston forward.

Negative views on race relations in the United States reach record high
Sara Weber
Deseret News - sarapaigeweber@gmail.com
Negative views on race relations have reached levels higher than those during the 1992 Los Angeles riots, according to a new CBS and New York Times poll.
The poll, released Wednesday night, comes after the fatal shooting of Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota, as well as after five Dallas police officers were killed during a protest.
Sixty-nine percent of Americans now believe race relations in the country are mostly bad, compared to 68 percent after the 1992 Los Angeles riots induced by a court acquittal of three police officers involved with the beating of Rodney King, a black taxi driver.
Negative views have risen 11 percent since one year ago, when 57 percent of Americans thought race relations were bad. America's views on race were most optimistic in 2009, shortly after President Barack Obama was elected to office, with only 22 percent reporting negative thoughts on race relation.
According to the poll, negative views began to increase in 2014 after Michael Brown was shot and killed by police officers in Ferguson, Missouri. The shooting brought more attention to the already growing Black Lives Matter, which works to "rebuild the black liberation movement."
Americans' views on the movement are positive among black Americans, with 70 percent saying they agree with the group, but white Americans are split: 37 percent say they agree, 31 percent disagree and 28 percent said they had no opinion on the matter.
And despite recent criticism of police performance, 75 percent of Americans believe the police are doing their job well, and 80 percent say the police make them feel safe.
Broken down by race, however, there are some disparities.
While 80 percent of white Americans report the police are doing their job to the best of their ability, only 43 percent of black Americans agree. And 47 percent of black Americans say the police make them feel "anxious" or afraid, whereas 85 percent of white Americans say a police presence makes them feel safe.
Ayesha Numan, a 22-year-old black woman, told the New York Times in a follow-up interview that recent events have made her more "cautious" around police officers.
"I have been in situations where the police have made situations worse rather than better," Numan said. "That's not to say I write them off as all bad. I just have to be cautious of how they're acting around me."
Furthermore, 75 percent of black Americans think the police are "more likely to use deadly force against a black person than a white person." Fifty-six percent of white Americans don't think that race plays a role in a police officer's decision to use deadly force.
"I don't want to say it's 100 percent that every time someone gets shot, it's just the police being racist," said Roger Boulanger, a 46-year-old white man, to the New York Times. "I don't think that."
The poll also notes that white Americans and black Americans are close to equally as "pessimistic about the state of race relations in the U.S."
And that pessimism is ongoing, according to the poll. Only 9 percent of Americans believe that race relations are improving, a 12-point drop from one year ago.
CBS and the New York Times conducted the poll by telephone July 8-12, 2016, among a random sample of 1,600 adults nationwide in English and Spanish. Data have been weighted to reflect U.S. Census figures on demographic variables.

For over twenty years, in the island of Ithaca, Penelope had watched for her husband's return. At first with high hopes and then in doubt and sorrow (when news of the great war came by some traveller), she had waited, eager and constant as a young bride. But now the war was long past; her young son Telemachus had come to manhood; and as for Odysseus, she knew not whether he was alive or dead.
For years there had been trouble in Ithaca. It was left a kingdom without a king, and Penelope was fair and wise. So suitors came from all the islands round about to beg her hand in marriage, since many loved the queen and as many more loved her possessions, and desired to rule over them. Moreover, every one thought or said that King Odysseus must be dead. Neither Penelope nor her aged father-in-law Laertes could rid the place of these troublesome suitors. Some were nobles and some were adventurers, but they all thronged the palace like a pest of crickets, and devoured the wealth of the kingdom with feasts in honor of Penelope and themselves and everybody else; and they besought the queen to choose a husband from their number.
Now, when Odysseus woke, he did not know his own country. Gone were the Phaeacians and their ship; only the gifts beside him told him that he had not dreamed. While he looked about, bewildered, Athena, in the guise of a young countryman, came to his aid, and told him where he was. Then, smiling upon his amazement and joy, she shone forth in her own form, and warned him not to hasten home, since the palace was filled with the insolent suitors of Penelope, whose heart waited empty for him as the nest for the bird.
Into the palace hall went the swineherd and the pilgrim, among the suitors who were feasting there. Now how Odysseus begged a portion of the meat and was shamefully insulted by these men, how he saw his own wife and hid his joy and sorrow, but told her news of himself as any beggar might, all these things are better sung than spoken. It is a long story.
"Now for another mark!" cried Odysseus in the king's own voice. He turned upon the most evil-hearted suitor. Another arrow hissed and struck, and the man fell pierced.
But the old nurse Eurycleia hastened up to Queen Penelope, where she sat in fear and wonder, crying, "Odysseus is returned! Come and see with thine own eyes!"
The story of Penelope and Odysseus is featured in the book entitled Old Greek Folk Stories by Josephine Preston Peabody, published in 1907 by Houghton Mifflin Company, New York.


In early 2003 when the U.S. was being railroaded into fighting another war in Iraq, I was seriously looking at how I might protest this war. I did not agree with the war, because it was a distraction from the real problem (Al Qaeda) and didn't have good, to my eyes, justification. Since it was also tax season that's where my thoughts went. Could I protest the war by withdrawing my monetary support for the government? Could I become a tax resister, by engaging in tax resistance to protest the war?
Going to the local bookstore I did find a few books on the subject, and brought one home.
This book gives a very good history of tax protests over various taxes, and the legal successes and nightmares of those who attempted to do so. It sure gave me pause for reflection about the legitimacy of war tax protesting, the utility of doing so, and gave me a different route to my war protest.
First, you will run afoul of U.S. law if you neglect to pay your taxes. Consider the actual action you will have to take. If you simply do not pay your taxes, how is this to be an effective protest? Isn't effective protest when it draws peoples attention? The act of not paying your taxes isn't very visible, unless you make a big splash of it. But the more of a splash you make, the more likely you will gain the attention of law officials who will arrest and prosecute you for failure to pay taxes. Speaking for myself, my purpose does not involve being in jail.
There might be a moral high ground to take to refuse to pay taxes to support a war you find disagreeable, but if the result is jail time and nobody knowing you've taken your stand or the cost you're paying, then what's the use of taking the stand? Aren't there more effective ways to protest stupid illegal wars?
The next point of consideration is, what are taxes about? What's the purpose of taxes? For me taxes do lots more than fund the military. I wouldn't be doing this as an excuse to not pay taxes. The purpose would have been to protest the war. I agree with most of the functions of government. In agreeing with the functions of government, should I not also pay for them? Hence, should I agree to being taxed? Well, yes. Taxation is a common and relatively effective way to pay for government.
The book does cover this distinction. Many war tax protesters calculate how much of their taxes go to supporting war, and deduct that portion from their taxes. They still end up liable for paying the taxes, and there is still the question of whether it's an effective protest. The protest act of not paying taxes is private between non-tax-payer and the IRS, unless they make it public.
What I chose, in the end, is more direct. I participated in peace marches, and I began writing this web site.
I also increased my charitable donation schedule. The reasoning is that I would rather directly determine what my money is going to support, over giving it to the government, and charitable donations are a way to do this. Giving money to charity withholds it from the government, funneling it to causes I care about. Unfortunately this is an inefficient route because only around 30% (depending on your tax rate) of the money you donate to charity is returned to you in tax reduction. To totally erase your tax bill through charitable donation would bankrupt anybody.
War Tax Resisters Penalty Fund: [http://www.nonviolence.org/issues/wtrpf/] War tax resisters in the United States have a long history of witness against war. Just as conscientious objectors have resisted military service, war tax resisters have refused to pay for war as far back as colonial times. Henry David Thoreau spent a night in jail for refusing to pay taxes for the Mexican-American War. More recently, thousands of American taxpayers have refused to pay part or all of their income taxes to protest the military priorities of our government.

The one-day trilateral summit of the Foreign Ministers of Russia, India and China (RIC) successfully concluded in Bengaluru on October 27 with the joint communiqué issued at the end of the meet (their ninth) highlighting the need to coordinate their approaches to several major problems before the world today. These included terrorism, climate change and reform of financial institutions, issues on which their common positions came out in bold relief alongside the question of resolving nuclear-related issues with Iran and North Korea.
Terrorism is a regional problem. We cannot stand aloof from what is going on in Afghanistan and adjacent countries.
The reference to Pakistan was unmistakable.
All the three Foreign Ministers—S.M. Krishna (India), Yang Jiechi (China) and Lavrov (Russia)—stressed the necessity of bringing to book the perpetrators of all terror attacks even if the 26/11 terror strikes in Mumbai did not come in for specific mention. Indeed Yang echoed the concern and axiety of both Lavrov and Krishna on the Afghan developments since China itself is a victim of terror acts in Xinjiang in particular. Likewise India and China supported Russian efforts to stabilise the situation in the Caucasus.
With Moscow and Beijing expressing appreciation of New Delhi's renewed interest in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) as seen from PM Manmohan Singh's participation at its recent gathering in Ekaterinburg, India promised to give more attention and prominence to the Organisation's functioning in future. Krishna intimated to his Russian and Chinese counterparts of India's eagerness to actively participate in several of the SCO's sectoral meetings, particularly those relating to economic activities, counter-terrorism and Afghanistan.
The Sino-Indian talks at Bengaluru too had a positive outcome with Krishna and Yang deciding a step up dialogue between the two countries with the objective of developing trust at various levels. The meeting between the two FMs yielded "warm" and "fruitful" exchange of views on "all aspects" of bilateral ties, according to Krishna, with Yang not raising the matter of the Dalai Lama's visit to Arunachal Pradesh. (Perhaps this was not unexpected given the Chinese proclivity to blow hot and cold especially after PM Manmohan Singh's rebuff to Beijing's strong objection to the Dalai Lama's proposed trip to Tawang by characterising him as a "honoured guest of India and a religious leader" free to travel anywhere he chose to in the country.) Instead the Chinese FM took up the issue of India cancelling business visas and converting them into employment visas; the Indian side promptly explained that it was based on an uniformly applicable policy to stop the misuse of the business visa regime. Both sides further agreed to befittingly observe the 60th anniversary of the establishment of India-China diplomatic ties.
The message from Bengaluru on the Sino-Indian front is thus amply clear: India and China must address their grievances and differences through well-established mechanisms without resorting to a war of words in public. Hopefully this would be adhered to in the days ahead in the interest of both and provocative actions avoided.
Meanwhile the six-hour drama staged by the People's Committee Against Police Atrocities (PCAPA) in West Bengal's West Midnapore district on October 27 when the Bhubaneswar-Delhi Rajdhani Express was detained to press the demand for unconditional release of their leader Chhatradhar Mahato at a station called Banshtola between Sardia and Jhargram once again brings out the Maoist phenomenon in the area. The PCAPA is, contrary to whatever is being claimed in the media, neither a Maoist outfit nor a front organisation of the Maoists. However, it is quite possible that Maoists are backing it in their own interest and to further their own objectives. The poor tribals organised under the PCAPA banner were also protesting against what they described as atrocities by the security forces involved in the Centre-State joint operations in Lalgarh.
While such actions as detaining trains are unacceptable and must necessarily be decried, there is no turning away from the problems faced by the hapless adivasis in the area. These cannot be tackled by paramilitary operations against the Maoists or organisations like the PCAPA while branding the latter as Maoist outfits and detaining their leader. The basic issues of deprivation and destituation of the tribals must be addressed forthwith. In the absence of any such move peace with justice cannot be restored in tribal India. And till such time as the authorities are able to decipher the real message behind such actions beyond the Maoist-anti-Maoist syndrome, the unrest will continue to persist to become a festering sore in our tribal heartland.
