How does Biltmore inspire designers? Our partners send their designers to the estate to soak in the history, the architectural elements, and the details of items in our collections of furniture, art, textiles, books, and more.
The designers take many photographs, spend time in our archives, and have full access to items in storage. Our Museum Services staff provides invaluable insight, explaining the historical significance of collection pieces in detail.
"Our furniture designers learn the stories about the pieces, which help them better understand the role the piece played in the Vanderbilt's life and how to transfer that to today's homes and lifestyles," explains Christy Hodgins, Director of Marketing for Biltmore For Your Home.
A fine, marble-topped cabinet in the Servants' Dining Hall is a great example of this process. The cabinet originally belonged to "Commodore" Cornelius Vanderbilt, then passed to George Vanderbilt's father, and eventually to George Vanderbilt himself, who brought it to Biltmore.
Designers took the basic structure of the piece and resized it to better fit in modern homes. They also added interior storage to make it more functional and appealing. The history of the original piece inspired the name of the versatile Cornelius Cabinet.
Of course, inspiration is not limited solely to interiors and architectural details—our partners also explore our historic gardens and landscapes for fresh ideas. There are luxurious bedding collections that reflect spring blooms and quiet paths; bath and body products that recall classic floral fragrances; and garden accessories drawn from Biltmore's rich array of outdoor statuary, antique planters, and the rustic splendor of the Conservatory.
Immerse yourself in Biltmore's past and present and learn more about Biltmore House and Gardens.

Brexit ruling tops Trump as tensions ease
The pound jumped on Thursday after a UK court ruled that parliament must approve a government decision to trigger Brexit, lifting European stocks and bond yields and easing tension in markets rattled by US election nerves.
Sterling topped $U1.24 for the first time in three weeks , climbing more than 1 per cent against the dollar, which has been knocked by uncertainty about what a Donald Trump presidency might mean for economic policy, free trade and geopolitics.
The decision by England's High Court appeared to offer hope to investors who worry Prime Minister Theresa May's cabinet is set on a "hard" exit from the EU prioritising immigration controls over free trade, which might be tempered by a stronger influence from other lawmakers.
The UK government will appeal the ruling in a hearing in early December.
European stocks, which touched a near four-month low in early trade after some polls put Republican Trump ahead of Democrat Hillary Clinton, climbed following the UK court decision. They were up 0.4 per cent on the day, while bond yields rose as investors showed less demand for safe haven assets.
"The market became more 'risk-on' after the verdict because it increases the chances of a soft Brexit, as the parliament will push the government to keep access to the single market to the largest extent possible, which is positive for the UK economy," said Mizuho rates strategist Antoine Bouvet.
Wall Street was set to open slightly higher, with the
S&P 500 set to break its longest losing streak in five years. It is just one more session away from its worst run since 2008.
The broader picture remains weak though with the MSCI world equity index, which tracks shares in 46 countries, languishing close to a four-month low. Asian shares also lost some ground overnight.
The volatility index, also known as markets' fear gauge, fell after seven straight days of rises.
Investors have been unsettled by media reports that some agents at the FBI had wanted to press ahead with an investigation of the Clinton Foundation, the latest twist in a long-running investigation into her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.
The dollar recovered most of its early losses, and was only 0.1 per cent down against a basket of major currencies.
The focus was firmly on sterling though with the Bank of England's policy decision and inflation report also due on Thursday.
An average of polls compiled by the RealClearPolitics website showed Clinton retaining a slight lead. A Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll released late on Wednesday showed her ahead by 6 per centage points among likely voters.
Politics also overshadowed the Fed's November policy meeting at which it kept rates steady as expected and opened the door a little wider to a rate rise next month.
"Barring a shock to the global economy and/or upheaval in financial markets, we continue to anticipate a 25 basis point rate hike at the 14 December meeting," said Peter Dragicevich, a senior currency and rates strategist at CBA.
"We, and the FOMC, are looking for the tightening cycle to continue to be slow and limited," he added, predicting two more rate increases over 2017.
Oil rose, lifting prices away from five-week lows as an attack on a Nigerian oil pipeline raised concerns about supply disruptions.
Helped also by the weaker dollar, US crude bounced 39 cents to $U45.73 a barrel, while Brent added 45 cents to $U47.31.
In emerging markets there were major moves as Egypt floated its currency, the Egyptian pound, in a move that resulted in a near 33 per cent devaluation.
Egyptian stocks and bonds both surged with Cairo's blue chip equity index up 8.3 per cent in the opening minutes and its main dollar-denominated government bonds rallying as much as 2.2 cents in the dollar.
"The dollar bonds are understandably up as they won't be frittering reserves anymore," said head of EM sovereign debt at Aberdeen Asset Management Edwin Gutierrez.
"But this was part of the IMF programme. It is classic Washington consensus 101, and they are doing all the right things."
Egypt devalues currency by 48 per cent

We realize you may have a few questions, like what size dumpster do I need or how much is this going to cost. Just give us a call and one of our specialists in Homer, Georgia will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Things To Consider For Renting a Dumpster in Homer, Georgia!
With all of the different dumpster options and rental businesses out there vying for your business it can be difficult deciding on the selection that will best suite your needs. If you're looking to rent a dumpster in Homer, then you'll first want to be aware of the different size, weight and material options that can possibly suit your needs. It's not always about size considerations when choosing a dumpster to rent, but also the types of waste you're going to be disposing of and if they will result in additional costs. Throughout this document we'll review some of the options and the most common concerns people have when looking to rent the best dumpster for their project.
You'll want to ensure that dumpster rental expenses don't become an obstacle to your job's progress, which is why it's important to estimate your needs prior to renting. Several things will determine your rental costs including size, weight and the materials you'll be disposing of. You'll also want to ask the rental company if there are any costs for permits in Homer that may add to your budget.
There are no standardized sizes when it comes to dumpsters, and you could find a wide range from various companies, but the most used sizes come between 10 and 40 cubic yards. Most of the time if you're only cleaning out a garage or shed you can use a 20 cubic yard dumpster. A big job such as home remodeling or roof replacement in Homer will likely require a larger dumpster size such as a 40 cubic yard option. It's typically better to have extra space than less when it comes to dumpster options, since you can find yourself getting extra charges for going over your weight capacity.
Just looking at the size of a dumpster can be deceiving, as depending on the materials you're throwing out, it can fill up very rapidly. Also, it's not just about space, but also about the weight of the garbage you're throwing into the dumpster. Even if your dumpster isn't completely filled, it could still go over a weight restriction, resulting in possible overage fees. In addition to additional charges due to weight, you'll also want to pay attention to the ground that the dumpster is standing on, as too much weight could easily damage your property. You should always let the dumpster rental company in Homer know what types of objects in general you'll be throwing away, that way they can tell you what to expect.
Size makes a difference, along with the type of garbage you're getting rid of when considering the type of dumpster to go with. If you simply have a few large items, such as a couch or home appliance, then it may be better to choose a junk removal service rather than renting a dumpster. If you are only looking to clean out some old furniture or junk in your garage, you could probably get away with a 10 cubic yard dumpster. Some wise advice to follow when renting a roll off dumpster is to check with the disposal business in Homer to find out what items are acceptable to be disposed of. Objects such as mattresses, oil or paint cans, grease or food waste and refrigerators will be prohibited.
How much a dumpster rental will cost is determined by various different factors. Most dumpster service providers give you a free estimate for their services. Clearly, larger containers can contain far more volume and weight. It is going to be more work to move a large container, even if it's not full, since it requires more man power. Because of this, renting bigger containers is pricier than smaller dumpsters.
Local dumpster companies in Homer are going to be the best ones to go with if you live in that area. Local companies always have an established dumping arrangement with waste management facilities, which will save you effort and paperwork. They'll also be aware of local laws, which can streamline the entire disposal job. By giving your dumpster company as much information as possible regarding your waste materials, you can make sure you get the best deal and proper sized container.

Summer Camp is for parents and kids to work together, exploring the world around you with activities that will take you outside, inside, and as far as your imagination will go! Learn more by reading the Welcome to KinderTown Summer Camp! blog post.
Math-U-See® is a complete K-12 math curriculum produced by Demme Learning. This unique program develops by level, rather than by grade, presenting mathematical concepts incrementally. Students use manipulatives at most levels to establish an understanding of the concepts, and then move on to solving problems until they have demonstrated mastery.
For this activity, your preschool student will use her skills in telling time (taught in the Primer and Alpha levels), and your older student will investigate Roman numerals (Delta) and types of angles (Zeta).
As you create your sundial, you can refer to the accompanying activity page to review the underlying concepts.
Print out the sundial template. In the box at the end of the line, write the number 12. The camper can decorate the template, but be sure to leave room around the outside edge to write in numbers.
Glue the template to the paper plate or cardboard.
Poke a hole in the center with a sharp pencil.
Put the straw through the hole and tape it into place.
Find a spot that gets sun for most of the day. At exactly noon, turn the paper plate so the straw's shadow lines up with the 12. Fasten the paper plate to the ground with duct tape so it doesn't move.
Have the camper predict what will happen an hour later. At exactly 1:00, mark the spot on the paper plate and write 1. Repeat this process every hour on the hour to make the clock. To use the sundial on subsequent days, it must be put in the same place in the same position.
Pre-K/Early Elementary: Use Math-U-See integer blocks to make the block clock shown on the activity page. As the camper marks each hour on the sundial, have him compare the time on the sundial to the corresponding time on the block clock.
Lower Elementary: Label the sundial with Roman numerals.


Apprenticeships are a popular and cost-effective training solution to help businesses develop skills that they need. Whether you are starting to explore apprenticeships as a staff development option for your business, or are considering taking on additional apprentices, here you will find everything that you need to know.
We can also support you on a one-to-one basis to help you get to grips with all the options, opportunities and processes. From explaining the apprenticeship levy to finding an training provider and apprentice standard, we're by your side.
An apprenticeship is a genuine paid job with an accompanying assessment and skills development programme where most of the training is undertaken on the job.
They're not just for school leavers and young people; there is no upper age limit. To be eligible individuals need to be aged over 16, living in England and not in full-time education.
They can be used to either attract and train new talent, or to upskill or reskill existing staff (or a combination of both).
They are available at different levels and can be undertaken in all industry sectors.
An apprenticeship must normally last a minimum of 12 months although many last much longer – it varies depending on the sector and apprenticeship level.
Separating fact from fiction: the truth behind apprenticeship misconceptions.
Thought that apprenticeships were just for school leavers? Adult employees can be apprentices too.

Why Boomerang? Debt, Access to Credit, and Parental Co-residence among Young Adults


Residents in Johannesburg neighbourhoods are fighting against the erection of cellphone towers and "4G street poles" which were installed without their approval.
A recent Carte Blanche expose showed unhappy residents in Craighall Park fighting the installation of a 30m cellphone tower on the property of the Old Apostolic Church.
According to the residents, the tower was built too close to their properties and they were not consulted.
They feel the tower is unsightly, lowers the value of their properties, and may have adverse health effects.
A legal battle is now brewing between the residents, and the City of Joburg, the church, and cellular tower company Atlas Tower.
Atlas Tower told the Rosebank Killarney Gazette it followed all the legal processes needed to erect the tower.
"We… followed the procedure as outlined and requested by the municipality and accordingly the municipality approved our building plan," said Atlas Towers.
It said it has rights as a tenant on the land of the church, and its building plans were approved by the city.
Charles Shapiro from the Old Apostolic Church told the Gazette they have done all they could.
The church told Carte Blanche that it will abide by the decision of the court on whether the tower is legitimate.
Residents in Lonehill have similar concerns, and are unhappy about the erection of 4G cellular towers disguised as street poles.
Residents said they were not consulted about the 4G towers, and have concerns about property values and the health implications.
The residents argued that the Lonehill Residents Association gave permission for the towers to be built, which it did not have the authority to do.
Lonehill Residents Association chairperson Ray Stride told the Fourways Review the new towers are necessary for quality communications services.
"The concern is over radio emission from the towers, but this is not radiation that can cause cancer," said Stride.

TIFF and Campbell River Film Festival celebrate Canada's 150th with free film
Toronto International Film Festival and the Campbell River Festival of Film present Stories We Tell, part of the Canada On Screen initiative
TIFF and CRFF Celebrate Canada's 150th With Free Film
For Immediate Release: April 4
Campbell River, BC – In celebration of Canada's 150th Birthday, Toronto International Film Festival and the Campbell River Festival of Film present Stories We Tell, part of the Canada On Screen initiative.
Since acclaimed Canadian actor Sarah Polley first revealed her remarkable talents as a writer and director many years ago, audiences have come to expect the aesthetic rigour and reserved, yet deeply felt, emotion she brings to her studies of human relationships. In her first two features, Away From Her and Take This Waltz, she rendered the complexities of intimacy and desire with the eloquence and control of filmmakers with far more experience. Away From Her in particular asked questions about how we can know ourselves or assess our lives if we can't agree on the events of the past. Memory is truth — at least emotional truth. And nowhere in life are shared memories more fiercely contested than in the family.
Stories We Tell, Polley's maiden voyage into the world of documentary, is at heart a personal essay on the intractable subjects of truth and memory. Using a combination of archival footage, still photos, and testimonials in a captivating visual assemblage, Polley examines the disagreements and varying narratives of a single family as they look back on decades-old events.
The responses from the "storytellers" chosen to share their version of things are heartfelt, revealing, and even charmingly funny. The result is a lively and richly textured documentary that seamlessly blends past and present, the real and the imagined. Devoid of sensationalism and lead with tender and powerful moments, the film also serves as a loving homage to one key player who is no longer here to share her version.
TIFF Film Circuit is excited to partner with REEL CANADA's National Canadian Film Day 150 on April 19th to present over 150 free screenings across Canada. Film titles have been be chosen from the Canada on Screen list of essential moving-image works, part of TIFF's free year-long programme celebrating Canada 150.
Canada on Screen is a co-production between TIFF and three core project partners — Library and Archives Canada, the Cinémathèque québécoise, and The Cinematheque in Vancouver. Canada on Screen is made possible by Presenting Partners the Government of Canada, the Royal Bank of Canada and the Government of Ontario, and Supporting Partner Telefilm Canada. National Canadian Film Day 150 is presented by REEL CANADA. Screens at Select Cineplex Locations have been generously donated by Cineplex.
Tickets are free of charge; we ask that you contact the box office to reserve your seats. First come, first served. Limit 4 tickets per household. Please indicate at the time of reservation if you will need wheelchair seating.
Please join us before the film for the Carihi and Timberline Student Art Reception.

A primary reason why arranged marriages continue to find favor even in this age of personal freedom is that the practice assures a certain degree of familiarity with a potential partner's economic and marital status. However the close-knit clan kinship system which earlier offered more information on prospective alliances is disintegrating today and one often does not know who he/she is marrying. Here are a few ways to investigate a person you are considering marrying as part of an arranged alliance.
Family events like weddings are common occasions when parents look for potential partners for their children. In most cases of arranged marriages, the proposal is brought forth by some member of the extended family. If you are on good terms with the family members of the grandaunt or paternal uncle who has suggested a prospective partner for you, ask them more about the person – his/her family, education and profession. However if you are not comfortable asking such details, rope in siblings, cousins or trusted relatives who can do some background checking for you. Every extended family has at least one member who makes it his/her business to know about others and this person is sure to prove a mine of information on your prospective match.
Often family members are not forthcoming with marital or financial details of a prospective partner if they feel these may jeopardize a promising alliance. In this case, look for friends and acquaintances common to you and your prospective partner who can tell you more about the latter. Cultural celebrations and community get-togethers are ideal occasions to ask around as you are sure to meet someone who used to live near your would-be partner, took tennis lessons or went to college with him/her. Sometimes mutual friends may not be keen to divulge personal details and in this case you can tap past acquaintances, course-mates or neighbors who may not be overly bothered by scruples.
In order to get a complete picture of the person who you are about to marry, it is crucial to know about his/her professional life. See if you know someone from his/her office or workplace. If not, then explore your social circle for someone who does and ask to accompany him/her to your prospective partner's workplace. This will not only let you investigate his/her professional and financial status but also allow you to get an idea on the kind of person – well-liked, hardworking, opportunistic, careless - he/she is. In the event that you know nobody at all from your would-be partner's workplace, you could also pretend to be a customer, client or some other interested party in order to obtain entry to the workplace. However be careful how you play your cards here since a slip-up can not only lead to embarrassment but also land you in trouble for impersonation. Investigating at the workplace can help you verify the claims about designation, salary and job profile in case of someone who's working for an organization.
Many times a first-hand exposure to your prospective partner's social life can work better than investigating through third parties. In many traditional societies, arranged marriages meant that prospective partners were rarely allowed to meet each other before the actual wedding. However with changing times, families no longer mind the young people going out on dates once an alliance has been formalized. So encourage your would-be partner to take you to his/her office parties or favorite hang-outs. Keep your eyes and ears open for signs that someone may be hiding something or eager to share some information. Look for awkward pauses in a conversation or abrupt changes in topics and then follow them up later. You may be able to get more from a casual guest at a friend's birthday bash than from a mutual friend or family member.
If your upcoming marriage is part of an arranged alliance, it is unlikely that you will be living together before the wedding. This means that you have less access to your partner's cell phone or computer for doing a long-term background check. However these days there are several kinds of mobile phone spy softwares available in the market and you can register for wide range of electronic surveillance services. On the other hand, if you wish to obtain definite information on the person's past and present circumstances without getting your own hands dirty, your best bet would be a private investigator. But before you hire a private detective, make sure that the agency has a valid license to carry on its business. Also insist on a written contract which clearly specifies the charges and kind of information it is expected to provide. Private investigators can be rather expensive so consider your finances before you decide to use this option. Interestingly in many cultures where arranged marriages are the norm, private detectives may be hired by the families and not just the would-be bride or groom to investigate the authenticity of information given during marriage negotiations and the overall suitability of the prospective match.
There are several reasons why you may want to investigate the person whom you are being encouraged to marry as part of an arranged alliance. Unlike lovers, would-be partners here know little about each other's private lives and past. A guy may seem like the ideal match unless one discovers that he already has a child by a previous partner. Or an apparently shy young woman may have a history of drug abuse. Besides these there are health as well as financial issues too since potential matches may not be forthcoming about STDs or bad mortgages tucked away in a secret corner of their lives. In cultures where the social stigma and legal complexity associated with obtaining a divorce is huge, it makes more sense to thoroughly investigate a potential match before going ahead with the wedding. Arranged marriages are after all based on the practical, as opposed to emotional, suitability of a marital alliance and if one needs to make a few enquiries to be assured, then why not?

Citizen Science Hour for Biodiversity Collections
Fri, 01/08/2021 - 8:18am -- austinmast
Register here at EventBrite! You can register for any one webinar day and use the provided Zoom link for all days.
This webinar series is dedicated to catalyzing excellence in citizen science that engages biodiversity collections. Citizen science is public engagement in scientific research, and it has the valuable potential to simultaneously advance research, science literacy and participation, and project sustainability, among other goals. Biodiversity collections curate about 3 billion specimens (insects on pins, fossils in drawers, fish in jars, plants on sheets, etc.) worldwide, and these are critically important to research that puts present day diversity and distribution in context and models the future of Earth's biome. These collections range widely in their institutional settings, including museums, botanical gardens, universities, field stations, government research centers, and other places.
While iDigBio's mission focuses on specimen digitization, data sharing, and data use, this series is intended to encompass all opportunities that citizen science might offer to the collections community and complementary sectors of that community's institutions. The series is targeted at an audience of collections curators, researchers, educators, and affiliates.
The need for something like this webinar series was recognized during the 2020 Biodiversity Summit that iDigBio hosted for the leadership of projects funded by NSF's Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections program. A follow-up survey of the community led to a winnowing of 22 potential topics down to a set of high-priority topics that we are aiming to schedule into two parts: the first, more general cluster between January and May; the second, tool-focused cluster between May and September. The webinar series might continue beyond September, based on audience interest.
We have assembled a slate of distinguished speakers on these target topics, many from outside the collections community. A more extensive schedule, short bios of the speakers, webinar recordings, and links to additional resources on each topic will be assembled on the webinar's wiki page.
Should you have questions about the series, please contact the organizers, Austin Mast (amast@bio.fsu.edu) and Libby Ellwood (eellwood@floridamuseum.ufl.edu).

Q: Spreading x and y values for plotting from a single column I have a question about Spreading x and y values for plotting from a single column. I try to create x and y values from y2 and I use tidyr spread function to do this.
  test = data.frame(gr =rep(c("Gr1","Gr2"),each=3),
                    y1=rep(c("V1","V2"),each=3),
                    y2=c(12,122,132,14,144,244)
                    )

 > test
   gr y1  y2
1 Gr1 V1  12
2 Gr1 V1 122
3 Gr1 V1 132
4 Gr2 V2  14
5 Gr2 V2 144
6 Gr2 V2 244

want to create x and y axis values from y2
 library(dplyr)
 library(tidyr)
  test2 <- test%>%

    mutate(No=1:n())%>%
    spread(y1,y2) #sorry there is no group by here

If I don't add mutate(No=1:n()) line it gives
Error: Duplicate identifiers for rows (1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6)
anyway the output is
# A tibble: 6 x 4
# Groups:   gr [2]
      gr    No    V1    V2
* <fctr> <int> <dbl> <dbl>
1    Gr1     1    12    NA
2    Gr1     2   122    NA
3    Gr1     3   132    NA
4    Gr2     4    NA    14
5    Gr2     5    NA   144
6    Gr2     6    NA   244

library(ggplot2)
  ggplot(data = test2 , aes(y = V2, x = V1)) +
  geom_point(size=2,alpha=0.5,shape=21,aes(fill=gr))+
  theme_bw()

Which creates an empty plot since there is no corresponding V1 value for V2.
If I use na.omit() it delete entire rows.
I have a this trouble always whenever I need to use spread function. Some times I create two different data sets than combine them. but I am looking for more elegant solution to this.
The expected output
Thanks.

**Edit after @joran comment
  test = data.frame(gr =rep(c("Gr1","Gr1"),each=3),

3 Gr1  3 132  NA
4 Gr1  4  NA  14
5 Gr1  5  NA 144
6 Gr1  6  NA 244

The expected output

    1 Gr1  1  12  14
    2 Gr1  2 122  144

                    y2=c(12,122,132,14,144,244)
                    )

# there must be different value of `gr` for each value of `y1`, or you will get `na` in the result
test$gr <- rep(c("gr1", "gr2", "gr3"), 2)

# then spread `test`
spread(test, y1, y2)
##    gr  V1  V2
## 1 gr1  12  14
## 2 gr2 122 144
## 3 gr3 132 244

Terminology of Homosexuality Info: Offensive Terms and Language. Today we try to use terminology to describe homosexuals and homosexuality that is clinically appropriate and socially acceptable. We are sensitive and respectful in defining groups of people as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, intersex, asexual, gender non-conforming, and more.
It can be instructive, and sometimes entertaining, to consider the past and the archaic terminology reflective of the attitudes and norms of the time period once used to describe homosexuals and homosexuality. The derivations and original meanings of these older words, sometimes insensitive and derogatory, trace back to ancient tales and have oftentimes have a basis in superstition and ignorance.

Invert is a psychological term referring to a person displaying sexual inversion. Sexual inversion was a term used by sexologists, primarily in the late 19th and early 20th century, to refer to homosexuality. Sexual inversion was believed to be an inborn reversal of gender traits: The sexologist Richard von Krafft-Ebing described female sexual inversion as "the masculine soul heaving in the female bosom.
Mesmerizing gays have passionate act in a cafe naked galleries
Initially confined to medical texts, the concept of sexual inversion was given wide currency by Radclyffe Hall's lesbian novel The Well of Lonelinesswhich was written in part to popularize the sexologists' views.
Published with a foreword by the sexologist Havelock Ellis, it consistently used the term "invert" to refer to its protagonist, who bore a strong resemblance to one of Krafft-Ebing's case studies.
In its emphasis on gender role reversal, the theory of sexual inversion resembles transgender, which did not yet exist as a separate concept at the time. According to this theory, gay men and lesbians were sexual "inverts", people who appeared physically male or female on the outside, but felt internally that they were of the "opposite" anatomical sex according to the binary view of gender.
Therefore, same-gender desires and attraction were explained as "latent heterosexuality", and bisexual desire was known as psychosexual hermaphroditism. Historically, the term "hermaphrodite" has been used to describe ambiguous genitalia in animals and human beings.
He was said to possess the physical traits of male and female sexes. He was born with a physical body combining male and female sexes. Great Queers of History. In modern times, the term typically refers to various forms of non-penetrative sex or frottage between women.

Although some people may use the following terms to describe their own gender, most of the labels below range from out-of-date to offensive. Archaic terms for transgender people included Tranny and Shemale. And terms like Transgendered and Transsexual are considered inaccurate and out-of-date.
Sex Change Operation Preferred: The notion of sexual aberration had some currency in the literature of psychiatry during the first half of the 20th century. Although the expression encompassed a whole range of behaviors regarded as abnormalities, it is probably safe to say that it was used more with reference to homosexuality than for any other "disorder.

Thus, in its application to sexual nonconformity, the concept linked up with the notion of "moral insanity," that is to say, the nonclinical manifestation of desire for variant experience.
The proliferation of such terms in the writings of psychiatrists, physicians, moralists, and journalists in the first half of the 20th century reveals a profound ambivalence with regard to human variation, in which prescriptive Gays have passionate act in a cafe struggles with, and often overcomes, descriptive neutrality.
Because of Old Testament usage, however, the words retain a special association as part of the religious condemnation of male homosexual behavior: The aversion of the religious leaders of the Jewish community after the return from the Babylonian captivity to the Gays have passionate act in a cafe customs" of their heathen neighbors, combined with the Zoroastrian prohibition of homosexual behavior, inspired the legal provisions added to the Holiness Code of Leviticus in the 5 th century before the Christian era that were to be normative for Hellenistic Judaism and then for Pauline Christianity.
The designation of homosexual relations as an "abomination" or "abominable crime" in medieval and modern sacral and legal texts echoes the wording of the Old Testament. Old Timey Photos of Defiant Lesbians. Westphal judged the condition which came to be designated as homosexuality as inborn, a symptom of a neuropathic or psychopathic state, as an alienation from the feeling proper to the anatomical sex of the subject. He drew the forensic distinction between exclusive and occasional homosexuality, but his failure to separate the two psychological entities that he had encountered was not corrected until fifty years later, when Havelock Ellis formulated the differential concept of eonism and Magnus Hirschfeld that of transvestism, the latter Gays have passionate act in a cafe the basis of 17 cases of heterosexual transvestism that he had isolated from the 7, homosexual case histories he had taken until that time.
The English abstractors and translators of European psychiatric literature were never able to decide upon a uniform equivalent for the awkward German expression, "contrary sexual feeling" or "contrary sexual instinct.
To the English-speaking lay public, of course, the word "contrary," like "perverse" conveyed a notion of the rebellious, refractory, and antithetical, though such connotations were not overtly recognized by specialists. In any event the expression was not destined to survive. As early as an American psychiatrist preparing an abstract of Westphal's article had used "inverted sexual feeling.
So "contrary sexual feeling" is the linguistic remnant of the first, uncertain psychiatric attempt to grapple with the problem of homosexuality. Warren Johansson, Encyclopedia of Homosexuality].
Webster's Third New International Dictionary defined it as "Some form of sex gratification preferred to heterosexual coitus and habitually sought after as the primary or only form of sex gratification desired.

Computational Thinking in Tertiary Mathematics Education
View this report in PDF here.
How does computational thinking affect students' understanding and
experiences in tertiary mathematics?
By Erin Clements, McMaster University, October 2018
I have been teaching the undergraduate course Calculus for Life Sciences (Math 1LS3) for approximately 10 years at McMaster University. Each semester I watch students struggle with applying mathematics in context, that is, connecting the abstract concepts taught in a traditional mathematics course to the practical mathematics found in journal articles.
Through my work as a research assistant for Dr. George Gadanidis, I was introduced to several math and coding initiatives being implemented by the Wellington District Catholic School Board. What I found most intriguing was a dual credit course, which integrated mathematics and computer science, thus covering two streams of material at once. This integrated approach was appealing to me for a number of reasons and it inspired me to research a similar approach at the tertiary level.
Why integrate coding into an applied calculus course?
Incorporating coding activities into Math 1LS3 provides an alternative way to explore the mathematical concepts traditionally taught in a first-year calculus course. This has the potential to increase the engagement of students (and instructors!), while better accommodating a diverse group of students with varying learning styles and abilities. As well, exploring mathematical models and algorithms using code offers a more dynamic experience for students, which traditional paper and pencil activities cannot provide. For example, students are able to make predictions, reason intuitively about relationships, and easily interact with the variables and parameters and receive immediate feedback. Moreover, integrating technology into our mathematical explorations allows us to keep the applications meaningful and authentic (for instance, we are not forced to oversimplify examples to make them more manageable to compute), and better aligns our activities with current practices in the field. By integrating this component into a preexisting mathematics course, students have an opportunity to enrich their mathematical understanding and develop a working knowledge of a modern computer language (a valuable skill in an increasingly computational world!), without taking an additional course explicitly in computer programming.
Euler's method is an algorithm used to approximate solutions of first-order differential equations, given initial conditions. In Math 1LS3, students are asked to approximate the solution to a single differential equation by applying Euler's method for a maximum of four steps, thus obtaining a superficial, uninteresting, yet easy to compute, result.
By exploring the initial value problem with code, students are able to investigate the behaviour of the model over a longer period (say, over months or even years) as well as increase the accuracy of their estimations (by decreasing the step size), an activity that would be unwieldy without computer technology.
Moreover, using code, this algorithm can easily be extended to systems of first-order differential equations where students can explore more complex models, such as the SEIR-model, used to study the spread of the EBOLA virus during the recent epidemic or the classic predator-prey model, which investigates the dynamics between two species interacting in a common habitat.
Together with my colleague Miroslav Lovric, I created a series of coding activities to complement the mathematical material studied in Math 1LS3, which has an enrollment of approximately 1000 students in the fall of 2018 semester. These activities are organized into four labs, which correspond to the main themes in the course: mathematical models, limits and derivatives, differential equations and integrals, and discrete-time dynamical systems. Students download these labs from the course webpage (https://ms.mcmaster.ca/lovric/1LS3.html) and work on them in Jupyter Notebook, a free online platform, which supports Python code. Being mindful that the course is primarily a mathematics course, we present the coding as a numerical approach to the mathematical ideas and focus on directly applying the code, rather than teaching nuances of the Python language. Brief explanations are provided as needed in the form of comments throughout the code (for example, x = np.linspace(1, 4, 10) # creates an array of 10 equally spaced x-values between 1 and 4). Students are encouraged to explore models, algorithms, etc. by copying, pasting, and modifying the code in each cell.
Sample activity (modified) from Lab 1 in Math 1LS3:
At the end of each lab, students are asked to respond to a series of narrative questions, which invite students to reflect on their learning experiences throughout the lab.
Sample survey questions from Lab 2:
Quotations taken from narrative responses on Lab 1:
"I think it [coding] is a great addition to Math 1LS3 because scientists often have to work with lots of data and it helps to understand how the data analysis of a software works rather than simply using it."
"One aspect that was effective was how intuitive some of the questions were because they gave the possibility to experiment with the given functions and their graphs to discover their behavior without the hassle of having to redraw the graphs by hand."
"It seamlessly integrated math and computer science into one task. Not only did it aid in deepening my math knowledge, but also enabled me to understand math through coding. The module was also not too long and very clear, allowing me to really enjoy the task at hand."
I look forward to analyzing the data at the end of the semester and contributing my research to the ongoing project, Computational Thinking in Mathematics Education.

Could the Worldwide Media Help Stop Terrorists?
Here's an idea. How about if ALL the world's largest media entities simply stopped publishing any pictures or video of terrorists. No YouTube, no Facebook, no Twitter, NO PICTURES OF ANY KIND. They would still publish stories, but no pictures would show Islamic Butchers beheading journalists, blowing up mosques, or shooting their machine guns from the backs of jeeps. Google, Twitter, Facebook, and every other social network would agree to immediately take down ANY terrorist videos, pictures, or blog posts. What would happen if every terrorist group simply lost their world stage? Their activities would be reported on only in plain-vanilla words. They might have a harder time recruiting, if no one could access the bomb-building instructions online. I have always wondered why it's so easy to get pictures of terrorists doing their evil work-if we can take the pictures, why can't we simply blow them up?
BBC, NY Times, Bloomberg, Sky News, Wall Street Journal, CBC, Associated Press, Washington Post, Times of London, Reuters, YouTube/Google, Facebook, Twitter-DO YOUR PART TO STOP TERRORISM. And no BS about "freedom of the press". Press freedom also includes freedom NOT to publish.

How About Some Facts About the Ferguson Situation
It seems to me that the majority of media and bloggers have been operating from a position of immediately jumping to conclusions, based on inaccurate and biased information. The standard narrative has been "a white cop shot and killed an unarmed black teenager". Unspoken are the assumptions:
That the cop shot the teenager without provocation (the "killed for being black" assumption).
That the teenager was by definition weaker than the cop, and was simply walking down the street when shot.
That the witnesses' stories were accurate, including those that said the teenager was shot in the back, or he had his hands up and was trying to surrender.
That the many protesters who rioted and looted businesses in Ferguson were local residents.
Let's counter some of those assumptions.
Michael Brown was 6 feet 4 inches tall and over 300 pounds. He was a rather intimidating presence, certainly much bigger than the policeman. He didn't need to be "armed" to be a threat. And, from photos widely released, it appears that he and his "witness" friend Dorian Johnson, had just robbed a local convenience store. Innocent? Possibly not so much. And why is there no mention of the POLICEMAN'S INJURIES? He was punched in the face by the unarmed teenager, sustaining terrible fractures.
Also widely distributed are pictures of the "protests" that took place in Ferguson after the shooting. What these pictures and videos show is that, along with some local residents, there were large crowds of New Black Panthers and Revolutionary Communists, inciting the crowd to looting and violence.
And there's the way the Press covered the incident. How about the National Media saying that it's okay for the upset blacks in Ferguson to destroy and loot local businesses? Yes, this story appeared in the Washington Post. And here's another one.
And this from a Ricochet friend who says it better than I can:
It does not look like the poor young man in Ferguson, MO made the choice to be good. His path, like that of so many like him, pointed elsewhere. The cop who killed him may well have overstepped, or not, that is being investigated. But the dogma of the left remains exposed once again. These young black men, like Travon Martin and Michael Brown and the host of other young black men who die on the inner city streets of America, have accepted the liberal dogma and denied their own hand in their own choices. They do not choose to be good, to do the best with the opportunities afforded them and the hucksters give them cover. The result is yet another chapter in an unending tragedy.
So, everyone, don't just believe everything you see or hear. Get the real facts. Don't jump to conclusions about the standard Liberal narrative that the big, bad cop shot the poor, little, innocent black teenager. It did not happen that way at all. And I give a huge shout out to the Gateway Pundit, whose reporting from the local scene has been invaluable. Thanks!
<One final note. If you are wondering why in the mostly-black St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, the majority of their police force is white, the reason is Unions. The Police Union has garnered very high salaries, and generous pensions for its members. As a result, there is very little turnover in most police departments, with most policemen working many years to build up their pension benefits. This causes their ranks to reflect the community demographics from 25-30 years ago. They don't reflect the population, because the population changes much faster.>

Let's Talk Anti-Semitism
This story is posted on Ricochet, by a new member who is a Swedish Jew. It tells the sorry tale of her and her children's systematic persecution by others in her (formerly) civilized country. Remember when Sweden's society was emulated as an example of a country where all were treated equally and fairly, the standard of living was uniformly high, and there was virtually no poverty? Those days are over. Pretty much the entire region of Western Europe has descended into a slough of high unemployment, declining standards of living, legalized euthanasia and drug use, and near-total absence of religion and morality. Along with this has come increased levels of immigration from Muslim countries. From her story, you can see how average citizens of nearly every European country are increasingly expressing distaste for Jews, and hatred of Israel, fed by Muslim fanatics who are allowed free rein in most places. There are entire towns that have been taken over by Muslims, and their populations intimidated. The de-emphasis on marriage and child-bearing is another consequence of declining religious values and church attendance among Europeans-their societies are experiencing actual reductions in population, EXCEPT among the Muslim immigrants, who have many more children.
This situation can only end badly, with European countries hollowed out from within, their people losing the will to live and do things for themselves, their economies devastated by welfare systems that reward sloth and discourage individual initiative. And their declining morals are already feeding the anti-Jewish sentiment, making the lives of their remaining Jewish citizens a living Hell. Read Annika's story, and take the lessons to heart.

At My Wedding! Uncanned Laughter!
http://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/pingbacks/
I'm an older lady whose second wedding was a cozy affair, with a small group of family and friends in attendance. Since we covered all the expenses ourselves, we were as frugal as possible. But the two areas where we did not scrimp were food (hubby said one of his most important wishes was that our guests have a good time, and good food), and music. We are both musicians, and I have a friend, Cynthia, who plays harp, so we hired her for the afternoon to play prelude, and afterwards at the reception. We met with her ahead of time, and picked some beautiful music.
Item: my name is Carol, my husband's name is Raymond.
The officiator at our wedding was the husband of my cousin; he is an ex-Catholic priest, who still does weddings. So we are standing before our priest, reciting the wedding vows we had helped create, and he gets to the "vows" part (do you,xxx, take xxx…), and he says, "Do you, Raymond, take Cynthia…"
Raymond pipes up and says, "I want to marry Carol", and the entire room bursts out laughing, and Brendan the officiator gets VERY red in the face! We did not have anyone videotaping the wedding, and now I really regret that we didn't. But we still think back on our wedding, and laugh about it. And we celebrate our eleventh anniversary this October.

I'm Going to Wade Right in: Why do we Need BlogHer?
If you pay attention to the Daily Post on WordPress, you saw a couple of posts regarding BlogHer, the convention/meeting for women bloggers. Now, there's absolutely nothing wrong with a bunch of women who are bloggers getting together to trade tips, techniques, and stories, but I fail to see why there is a crying need for a specifically female bloggers support group. In case you hadn't noticed, women are generally recognized to be more verbal than men, scoring higher on all measures of verbal facility from the time they can talk. Since the rise of Feminism in the late 1960's, the narrative has been that, as a group, women have been oppressed, exploited, and discriminated-against. There are special laws dictating more-severe penalties applied to crimes against women than crimes against men. Women's health issues are considered to be much more important than men's health issues. Women get special treatment in many areas of daily life. Special efforts are made to encourage women to choose careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) fields, and other "non-traditional" occupations like construction and auto assembly. Young women are inculcated with the belief that they should go to college, have a career, and aim for the executive suite.
Since the late 1970's, women have made up nearly 60% of college students. Right now, women make up 47.2% of law school students, 51.5% of management, professional, and related positions, and a total of 46.9% of the labor force. Women have been elbowing aside the men for decades, and now comprise 14.6% of corporate executives, and hold 16.9% of corporate board seats. For all intents and purposes, women are the equal of men in everything they undertake.
So women are NOT downtrodden, exploited, or excluded from any activity in which they wish to engage, and maybe we should just celebrate ALL bloggers, not just the women. As a woman, I do not want, or need any kind of special treatment. I don't join any exclusively-female groups, since I like the company of men, too. I am a BLOGGER, not a Woman Blogger.

Q: How does the code behind the html maxlength attribute works I am using HTML maxlength attribute in my mobile application but it is not working. I tried several other ways to limit the maximum length in input[type=text] but none of them is working as good as maxlength works in web browsers. So I want to know the coding logic behind maxlength attribute.

A: I understand that you're only interested in understanding how maxlength is supposed to work. Here's a quote from the specification:

4.10.5.3.1. The maxlength and minlength attributes
The maxlength attribute, when it applies, is a form control maxlength
  attribute controlled by the input element's dirty value flag.
The minlength attribute, when it applies, is a form control minlength
  attribute controlled by the input element's dirty value flag.
If the input element has a maximum allowed value length, then the
  code-unit length of the value of the element's value attribute must be
  equal to or less than the element's maximum allowed value length.

Source: §4.10.5.3.1
If a browser you're testing isn't complying with spec, submit a bug report to that browser. In the meantime, you could use javascript to enforce a maximum length.
However, even if you do enforce this on the client-side, you still need to enforce it server-side too, because it is easy to hack client-side code and circumvent all intended limitations before sending to the server.

A: Quoting MDN here:

The input will fail constraint validation if the length of the text value of the field is greater than maxlength UTF-16 code units long. Constraint validation is only applied when the value is changed by the user.

I see you tagged JavaScript...So, your problem is likely that maxlength doesn't prevent programmatic changes from exceeding that number of characters. For example:

document.querySelector('input').value = 'testing'
<input type="text" maxlength="2" />

...So, you will likely need to manually handle maxlength in your code. Perhaps something like this:

// NOTE: Truncates based on maxlength
const setTextInputValue = (el, str) => {
  const maxlength = +el.getAttribute('maxlength')
  el.value = str.substring(0, maxlength)
}

const el = document.querySelector('input')
setTextInputValue(el, 'testing')
<input type="text" maxlength="2" />
