Differences between Spanish in Spain and Latin America
What are the main differences between Latin American Spanish and Spanish
in Spain? Would a person from Spain be understood in Dominican Republic? Would
a Colombian be able to get by in Spain? If you made a comparison between
British and American English, you would say sure, an Australian would be
understood without a problem if they visited the UK, and vice versa.
The same goes for Spanish speakers. They may use different vocabulary,
have different accents or expressions, but they would ultimately
understand each other perfectly.
What is Spanish called?
In Latin American countries, the Spanish language is simply called español (Spanish) as that is from where the language was brought. In Spain, however, the Spanish language is called castellano (Castilian), which refers the Castile province in central Spain where the language is said to have originated. Spaniards do not call the language español because there are other languages like Catalan (or Valencian), Galician and Basque which are spoken in Spain that would also be considered Spanish languages (lenguas españolas).
The Evolution of Spanish
The idea of "continental lag" was first coined by the linguist Albert Marckwardt to describe that the language which is brought to a new place changes less than the language from where it originated. This could explain why the words and phrases people use in Latin America are different – the language didn't have time to "catch up" to its mother country (Spain). The influence of the people or countries around those speaking the language affects the vocabulary and the way of speaking as well. There are, for example, words borrowed from English because of a country's proximity to the United States or the UK. Words like bistec, champú, cóctel are words that are commonly used in both Spain and Latin America. Before the Spanish arrived in South America, there were hundreds of different native languages it's possible that many of these words were incorporated to the Spanish language of each particular country.
Differences in Pronunciation
The greatest difference one might hear between the Spanish spoken in Spain and the Spanish in Latin America is the pronunciation of the Z and C (before I or E). In Latin America, these two letters are pronounced as S, while in Spain you would hear a TH sound. For this reason, someone from Barcelona would pronounce the name of their hometown as Barthelona.
Here's an example: la taza es azul
In Spain, it would sound like: la ta[th]a es a[th]ul
In Latin America, you would hear: la ta[s]a es a[s]ul
In some parts of Argentina and Uruguay, the double LL and Y sounds are pronounced like an english SH, while other Spanish speakers would pronounce it as a Y sound.
Example: está lloviendo en la playa
In Argentina, you would hear: está [sh]oviendo en la pla[sh]a
Everywhere else: está [y]oviendo en la pla[y]a
Besides the differences in specific letter sounds, there are also differences in the general way people speak. Some say that Argentinians have a "sing-song" accent, Colombian Spanish is the most neutral sounding, or that some countries drop an S at the end or in the middle of words. The more you are exposed to different accents, the easier they become to understand. Learn more
Differences in Vocabulary
Another one of the differences between Spanish in Latin American and Spain is the different words used for the same objects. You might be used to hearing a certain word for something and then be caught off guard while on vacation in Chile, for example, when you hear an avocado called palta when everywhere else it's called aguacate. Or in Mexico, the call a swimming pool alberca, wheras everyone else calls it piscina.
Here are some more examples:
a pen is called bolígrafo or boli in Spain and a pluma or lapicera in Latin America
a peach is melocotón in Spain and durazno in Latin America
a car is coche in Spain and carro or auto in Latin America
a cell phone in Spain is móvil and celular in Latin America
the verb to drive is conducir in Spain and manejar in Latin America
Ustedes vs Vosotros
Spain is the only Spanish-speaking country where the pronoun vosotros and vosotras is used, giving Spaniards an extra ending to memorize for each tense. This is one of the key differences between the two languages. Vosotros is the plural form of the second person (you) and is used in a casual manner. In Spain, when addressing your group of friends you would use vosotros. Ustedes would be used only if you wanted to show formality. In Latin America, since vosotros doesn't exist, they simply use ustedes in both formal and informal situations.
Vos vs Tú
Similar to Spain using vosotros, there is one pronoun used in Argentina, Paraguay and Uraguay – vos. Vos is used instead of tú.
The way that Spaniards and Latin Americans talk about the past includes differences as well. In Spain, it is common to talk about a completed action using the present perfect tense: Hoy he ido al trabajo (I have gone to work today). In Latin America, it is more common to use the simple past: Hoy fui al trabajo (I went to work today).

I'm using a slightly modified version of the login scrips found here, and have run into behavior I think is coming from session_set_cookie_params() that I do not understand.
I am using sessions, cookies, and header() to redirect users to a login page, then back to the page they requested. My problem was that, even though the initial page and the login page use the same function to handle sessions and cookies, two separate cookies were being set; one for www.example.com and one for example.com. This was preventing a session variable set on the initial page from being read after login.
$secure = true; // Set to true if using https.
$cookieParams = session_get_cookie_params(); // Gets current cookies params.
session_name($session_name); // Sets the session name to the one set above.
session_regenerate_id(true); // regenerated the session, delete the old one.
Although I was able to "fix" this behavior by explicitly stating a domain in session_set_cookie_params() (e.g. "example.com"), I would love to understand why two cookies were being set in the first place. Thanks!
Why : Because example.com and www.example.com are two different domains for the browser.
is a higher level domain.
Likewise solves the problem because of that.
Warning: High level domain cookies are valid and accessible by all pages at lower levels. Cookie for example.com will be accesible from mysubdomain.example.com too.
So if that is not wanted, you should differentiate the cookie domains.

What's more exciting than winning the World Cup, more nail-biting than the Wimbledon final, more rewarding than getting a Nobel Prize, and at least as fun as looking for dark matter in the sky? Taking part to the I'm a Scientist, Get me out of here, and getting through what I can only describe as a "Group of Death" of fellow scientists to win it!
I'm still well above cloud nine, with my head floating in interstellar space, oozing with delight: I feel honoured, and I'd like to thank all the students who took part for their enthusiasm, great questions and all the freshness and curiosity they brought in; all the teachers who enabled their participation; and everybody in the fantastic I'm a Scientist team for running such a smooth operation, with a virtual smile on their lips and always a cheerful word in the chat staff room (not to mention the great virtual cakes!).
The two manic weeks of I'm a Scientist have lived up to everything I had been told to expect, and more: From the first live chat — when we liked to delude ourselves into thinking that the server was brought down by our fast-and-furious replies (it probably wasn't us, but please don't tell us!) — to the last, nerve-wracking wait for the winner to be announced at 3 pm on the last Friday, I've thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
More than anything, I've revelled in talking to the students: every question was new, and often totally unexpected, challenging me and my fellow scientists to think afresh about our science and how to explain it clearly and briefly (no time for long-winded lectures in the live chats).
The best moments? Too many to count them! I do remember with special delight one early morning chat when I happened to be the only scientist online. Questions rained in too fast for me to keep up, and it was a heady feeling to be (virtually) pulled this way and that, somebody tapping on my shoulder asking for attention, somebody else trying to get through the crowd to ask a burning question, somebody getting desperate and resorting to ALL CAPS QUESTIONS (tut-tut). It was a storm of pure enthusiasm!
Everything worked really well, and I can't help smiling when thinking back to the couple of glitches in the automated software that catches and prevents abusive language in the live chats: in a couple of occasions, I was rebuked by an automated pop-up for using offensive language because of a spelling mistake ("aboslutely") and use of a banned word (when I tried to describe what a "parsec" is [take away the first and last letter and you'll see why!]. But this one I deserved, I tried to use jargon!).
A big THANK YOU to my fellow scientists, Sam Connolly, Natasha Stephen, Nate Bastian and Sarah Casewell: you all did a fantastic job, and it was a great pleasure taking part alongside you! I think we all made sure that everybody kept their act as sharp as they could, to the end — the competition was too stiff (but in a good, cheerful and friendly way) not to!
I am delighted to have won, and I'd like to thank personally each and everyone who voted for me — and I know the choice wasn't easy, so I don't blame those who voted for anybody else, as everyone had something very special going for them.
I have decided to donate my prize money to Sam Connolly, the runner-up, so he can use it to realise his Astrodome project. As I am very fortunate to be the recipient of an STFC Public Engagement fellowship, I have enough outreach funds already to carry out the project I proposed for I'm a Scientist — namely, to set-up a nation-wide competition for schools, with the winner invited to spend a day in residence at Imperial College London. Sam has kindly accepted the offer, so I am excited that there will be not one, but two exciting outreach projects coming out of the Astronomy Zone!
Please keep on asking questions, especially those that have not been answered yet!

Q: Passing a syscall to a function using a function pointer in C I've been messing around a bit with an assignment for a class where we had to time syscall's. I had to time read(), getpid(), and open() called over and over. Easy stuff, but I ended up using 3 different functions. One for each syscall and each with its own for loop. I want to get it down to one. Seeing 3 functions with 3 similar for loops bothers me. I know I can make it one!
So my thought is to make a timing function that can be used for each syscall. I spent a good while reading up on making function pointers, but the issue I'm having is that read, getpid, and open all take different arguments (in the open and read case a specific file destination).
My question is this: Is there a way in C to make a pointer that I can pass to a function for the 3 different system calls? The extra challenge is that I cannot just call getpid. I found out that the system the professor is compiling caches the id so I have to use syscall(39) rather than getpid().

Election fraud lie withered after Twitter banned Trump
CNN, Sunday - 01/17/2021 - 04:03 PM
President Donald Trump's lie that he was cheated of a victory in the November election, which he peddled on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms, was a driving factor in spreading misinformation on this issue. How do we know? Research released Friday found that online discussions about election fraud plunged a whopping 73% since Twitter and other social media companies banned Trump and his key allies on January 8.
Cindy McCain: America is still worth fighting for
CNN, Sunday - 01/17/2021 - 11:53 AM
Faith in our country is the bedrock of our democracy. My late husband John McCain spoke of falling in love with our country while he was a prisoner in someone else's. America's decency -- our "faith in the wisdom, justice and goodness of its people," he once said, makes America "not just a place, but an idea, a cause worth fighting for." His experience meant he was no longer his own man -- he was his country's.

When you think of Adrian Beltre, the first thought that comes to mind might just be his defense. In the early parts of his career, that was his bread and butter. He does, after all, rank 19th all-time in Def, and 10th since the color barrier was broken in 1947. By the time he retires, top 15 in Def is well within his reach.
And yet, Beltre is just as prolific as a hitter! He's been one of the best players ever on both sides of the ball. Yesterday, he became just the 31st member of the 3,000-hit club. That's pretty amazing. It's pretty much an automatic ticket to the Hall of Fame (don't worry, Rafael Palmeiro will get there some day via some Veteran's Committee). Beltre also ranks 15th in doubles, 38th in home runs, 21st in total bases and 21st in extra-base hits.
* – Eddie Collins appeared in a couple of subsequent seasons as a pinch hitter as a player/manager, but I'm not going to count those.
** – Roberto Clemente likely would have played for several more seasons had he not tragically died.
*** – Ichiro Suzuki is still active, which if you visit this site regularly you already know.
Sixth-best on this list is something worthy of admiration. Now, Beltre might slide a little — there's still two months of season left. But he probably won't fall far — his updated full-season Steamer projection pegs him for a 132 wRC+, which would leave him firmly in the top 10 here.
Either way, Beltre is still going strong as he enters the 3,000-hit club. That was certainly not the case for several of its members. Craig Biggio stands out, as his 3,000th hit was little more than a marketing ruse by Drayton McClane & Co. to wring a few extra tickets sold out of the Killer Bs. Biggio is one of six players (not counting Roberto Clemente) who retired after the season in which they logged their 3,000th hit. Beltre won't be doing that. He's on the books for next season, and I won't at all be surprised if he keeps playing in 2019 and beyond. Certainly, the Rangers would be wise to keep him around. The three teams that let Beltre slip away probably wish they could have a mulligan on that decision.
The Dodgers have done OK, as have the Mariners, but they would still have been better off keeping Beltre. The Red Sox, on the other hand…damn, damn, damn. These sorts of decisions are sometimes hard to compare, and certainly it pales in comparison to Tom Yawkey refusing to sign Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays, but in modern times, it's hard to think of a worse Red Sox decision than letting Adrian Beltre walk in free agency. Third base may finally be in good hands now that Rafael Devers is up, but it's been a very long time coming, and a lot of resources have been poured down a bottomless hot corner hole since Beltre left.
Beltre has become an all-time great specifically because he has improved as he has gotten older, in almost complete defiance of what we would consider a normal aging curve.
Beltre specifically played from ages 19-29, and has played so far from ages 30-38.
As you can see, seven of Beltre's 10 best seasons by wRC+ have come in his 30s. That general shape to a graph is not something you usually see, even from great players. Look at some of the other players in the 3,000-hit club, like Wade Boggs or Alex Rodriguez. It's not remotely the same shape.
Of course, players can get to the same result in different ways. I grew up believing a 200-hit season was the best achievement you could have as a hitter, probably because I grew up watching Wade Boggs. And indeed Boggs has seven of them, one of the highest totals of all-time. Beltre has just one, which pales in comparison. And yet, Beltre's way is the more common path.
Would you have guessed that nearly half of the players here only had zero or one 200-hit season? I certainly wouldn't have. Obviously 200 is an arbitrary number, but I would have thought these guys in particular would have had more of them. I mean, Michael Young has six 200-hit seasons!
Adrian Beltre has left an indelible mark on the game of baseball. Some of his lasting impressions are things he does often, like bare-hand a bunt or dribbler down the third-base line, get mad when someone tries to touch his head, or drop to a knee after a very healthy swing. Some have also surely come in specific moments, like the three times he hit for the cycle, his three-homer performance in the clinching Game 4 of the 2011 ALDS, or even something more random, like that one game back in 2000 when he stole three bases. A few years ago, his Hall of Fame candidacy was debatable. Now, it's a sure thing, and his residence in one of baseball's most exclusive clubs is just another reason why.
We hoped you liked reading Adrian Beltre Joins the 3,000-Hit Club by Paul Swydan!
All counting stats when you start playing at 14 and hang on until you are 58.

Table of Contents > 1000 - Administration
1470 - Grievance Procedures
The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest administrative level, the resolution of claims arising from a violation, application, or misinterpretation of School Board policies or administrative action. The provisions of this policy do not apply to employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement. No employees may use the grievance procedure to appeal:
A. a suspension or termination of employment;
B. a non-renewal of a contract and/or nonreappointment; or,
C. the professional judgments and conclusions of the supervisor in concluding a performance evaluation.
As used in this policy, the following terms have these meanings:
A. A grievance is a written and signed complaint by one or more employees that alleges a violation, misinterpretation, or misapplication of Board policy or complains of an adverse administrative action, excluding a complaint of discrimination or harassment prohibited by any Board policy for which a complaint procedure is established.
B. The term "employee" means every employee of the Board not covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
C. The term "grievant" or "grievants" means an employee or group of employees who allege a violation, misinterpretation, or misapplication of Board policy or complain of an adverse administrative action. No grievance may be processed anonymously.
D. The term "supervisor" means the principal, director, area superintendent, assistant superintendent, superintendent or other administrative who has the direct responsibility of supervising or managing the grievant and who has the authority to take action necessary to resolve the grievance.
E. The term "days" will mean work days unless a calendar day is specified.
The following procedure will apply to all grievances not otherwise excluded above. The failure of the grievant to appeal the grievance to the next level will be deemed to be acceptance of the decision rendered at the decision rendered at the last level. The failure of the administration to render a decision within the time limits set forth herein will allow the grievant to appeal to the next highest level above the level at which the decision was not timely filed. The time limits specified herein will be considered a maximum unless the time is extended by mutual consent.
A. Level One - Informal Conference
Within ten days after the employee knows or reasonably should have known of the grievable incident, the employee will discuss the matter with the immediate supervisor with the objective of informally resolving the matter. The grievant shall inform the supervisor that she/he is availing himself/herself of the grievance process. The supervisor shall summarize the conversation in writing within ten work days of the discussion, and that writing must be signed by the employee making the informal complaint or marked as "refused to sign", if appropriate.
B. Level Two – Filing a Written Grievance
1. Within 15 work days after the informal conference described in Level One, if no satisfactory disposition is made, the employee may file a written grievance with the supervisor. The written grievance shall set forth specifically the event(s) upon which the grievance is based, citing the policy and/or directive alleged to be violated, the date the alleged infraction took place, and grounds upon which the grievance is made. The employee must sign and date the grievance.
2. Within 15 work days after receiving the written grievance, the supervisor shall schedule another meeting with the employee. Within 15 work days of the second meeting, and after investigating the allegations, the supervisor shall issue a written decision to the employee.
C. Level Three – Review by the Supervisor's Superior
1. Within 15 work days after the supervisor's decision, if the employee is not satisfied with the supervisor's decision or if no decision has been issued, the employee may forward the written grievance and the supervisor's decision to the supervisor's superior or to the applicable chief officer. The written grievance shall set forth specifically the event(s) upon which the grievance is based, citing the policy and/or directive alleged to be violated, the date the alleged infraction took place, and grounds upon which the grievance is made. The employee must sign and date the grievance. If the grievance is not forwarded to the superior or chief officer within the designated time, the grievance is considered withdrawn from the grievance process and shall be so noted in the grievance file.
2. Within 15 work days after receiving the grievance, the superior or chief officer will schedule a meeting with the employee. Within 15 work days of that meeting, and after further investigating the allegations as appropriate, the superior or chief officer shall issue a written decision to the employee. A copy shall be provided to the supervisor.
D. Level Four – Appeal to the Applicable Chief Officer
1. Within 15 work days after the superior issues a written decision, if the employee is not satisfied with the decision (or if no decision has been issued within 15 work days of the meeting), the employee may appeal the decision, in writing, to the applicable chief officer. If the grievance is not forwarded to the applicable chief officer within the designated time, the grievance is considered withdrawn from the grievance process and shall be so noted in the grievance file.
2. The appropriate chief officer/designee may appoint an ad hoc grievance review committee. The chair of the committee will be the highest-ranking District official on the committee. The committee will consist of:
a. one member from District management, selected by the Superintendent;
b. one member selected by the grievant, and
c. a third member selected by agreement of the first two members. If the third member is not selected by the other committee members within seven calendar days, the Superintendent/designee shall appoint a third member to serve on the committee.
3. In an effort to resolve the grievance, within 15 work days after the committee is designated, the committee shall meet with the grievant and the supervisor or superior of the person alleged to have violated, misinterpreted, or misapplied a policy or directive. Other persons may be presented as witnesses at the meeting by either the grievant or the supervisor/superior. The committee shall issue a written recommendation within 15 work days after the meeting, determining whether any violation has occurred, and if so, an appropriate remedy. A copy of the recommendation shall be provided to the grievant, supervisor or superior, the General Manager of Employee Relations, and the Superintendent.
4. The recommendation of the committee shall be forwarded to the Superintendent for review. The Superintendent/designee shall review the recommendation of the committee and the record of the grievance. If the Superintendent/designee finds that a meeting with the grievant would assist in the final determination, the Superintendent/designee may schedule a meeting for the purposes of this review. The Superintendent/designee's decision is the final and binding decision of the District.
A. During any of the grievance levels, the employee may be represented by a person of the employee's choice once the grievance is filed with the supervisor. For grievances that are filed by employees who choose to be represented by legal counsel, the process will begin at the chief officer phase of Level 3 of the grievance process.
B. No retaliation or reprisals of any kind shall be taken by any member of administration or other employee against the employee, representative, or any other participant in the grievance procedure by reason of such participation.
A. Grievance report forms for filing a grievance will be available on the Board website. Employees are to be notified of the procedures in this policy through its posting on the Board policies website.
B. Failure of the employee to advance the grievance through the procedure within the time lines designated will result in immediate dismissal of the grievance.
C. If a preliminary investigation is begun regarding a complaint, the written complaint and documents relating to the investigation are confidential, pursuant to F.S. 119.07(3)(p) & (u), 1012.33, and 1012.796, until the investigation is either concluded or ceases to be active.
D. All records pertaining to a grievance may be filed in a separate grievance file and may not be kept in the official "personnel file" of the employee/applicant, but this grievance file will be treated as provided by F.S. 119.07 and 1012.31. All decisions of management are to be forwarded to the labor relations department, which shall be designated as the custodian of those records for grievances. The grievance file is subject to disclosure pursuant to the Public Records law and F.S. 1012.31.
E. If a grievance is filed under the grievance procedure in a collective bargaining agreement, the employee shall not pursue the grievance under this procedure.
F. The filing of a grievance shall not interfere with the right of the Board to carry out its responsibilities, subject to the final decision on the grievance.
F.S. 119.07(3)(p) & (u), 1001.41, 1001.42, 1001.43, 1012.23, 1012.31

Joseph Ward, an American wine lover and wine specialist writing for The Washington Post says "Riquewihr gets my vote as France's most beautiful wine town".
Riquewihr is indeed the jewel in the crown and looks today exactly as it did in the 16th Century. Riquewihr is also a very practical base to visit all Alsace, the Vosges mountains and even nearby Germany and Switzerland.

Explore the side streets. Riquewihr, while being only a village with 1300 inhabitants, is the third city in Alsace for the number of National Heritage buildings (48), just after the large cities of Strasbourg and Colmar!

A superb landscape of vineyards and wooded mountains is protecting this exceptional jewel: Riquewihr. Ramparts, rich residences and more modest medieval houses make Riquewihr the pearl of the Alsatian vineyard and one of the most visited and most beautiful villages in France.

The village of Riquewihr (sometimes wrongly spelled Riquewhir or Riquevir) is one of the highlights in Alsace in any season.
Most visitors start visiting Alsace and Riquewihr already in Spring, when the beautiful and famous vineyards are wearing their first leaves. Alsace Sporen and Alsace Schoenenbourg are the local 'Grand Cru', listed among the best wines in the world.
Summer is the time for families or visitors wanting to take advantage of the long daylight to explore the Alsatian countryside and the nearby Vosges mountains.
In Fall, harvesting the grappes is another great period, with plenty of festivals and tasting opportunities. Until beginning of November, the vineyards are wearing their golden coat!
End of November, second to none, we have the start of the Christmas celebrations. This period of the year is a genuine fairy tale in Riquewihr. The Christmas celebrations and Christmas markets start end of November in Alsace and take place until end of December, sometimes until beginning of January.
Finally, Winter - from January until end of March - is the season of traditional Alsace. Mid November, January and February offer plenty of discoveries for those who know how to look and approach closer. Riquewihr is an uncomparable base for exploring the vineyard, the picturesque medieval villages as well as the mountains of Vosges and Alsace in any season!

Les Remparts de Riquewihr (Ramparts of Riquewihr) is a small family business founded and run by a couple of tourism professionals - Martine and Jean-Paul - having many years of experience in airline business and travels.
We think that - especially for a rather long stay (most of our guests are discovering the slow travel concept and are staying 7 nights and more) - it is not enough to sleep well during the night but it is necessary to enjoy the stay in a place which is somehow of the same level as the historical surroundings, the landscape, the mountain and the vineyards: beautiful.

When we started this journey on March 1st, I had no idea what to expect. I prepared myself for some bumps in the road, disappointments, difficulties, etc. As we began, questions filled my head. Will my students participate? Will they be excited to post? Will they find something to love about writing?
I am incredibly proud of these 21 individuals for their effort this month. All of my students posted more than they ever would have if we didn't start this challenge. Wow. Others posted more than 20 times! Wow. Others posted 31 times! Wow. Many of them posted all 31 days in a row on time! Wow.
Today I would like to recognize each of them for one thing special that they did this month.
Sofia, for taking on a big challenge (not just because of Starbucks, right?) and completing it!
Thank you for showing up. Each and every one of you!
I like this. Such a nice tribute!
This inspires me to try this with my students next year. Not sure if I will get there., but trying to think of how I can make it happen.

Invisible People is a nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness. – In a certain way, it isn't that hard to comprehend a man's slow spiral into invisibility. Once on the street, people start to walk past him, ignoring him as if he didn't exist. It's not that people are bad, but if we make eye contact, or engage in conversation, then we have to admit they exist and that we might have a basic human need to care. But it's so much easier to simply close our eyes and shield our hearts to their existence.
Since its launch in November 2008, the video blog Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The video blog gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they're on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can't ignore. The « vlog » puts into context one of our nation's most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath – its founder – and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day.


The Mason County Historical Society was formed in 1937. Today a nine member Board of Directors meet once a month, primarily to oversee the operations of Historic White Pine Village and The Port of Ludington Maritime Museum.
Historic White Pine Village is a community of 30 buildings/sites of history uniquely located on 23 acres of land, which depicts the history of Mason County through the use of artifacts and archives appropriately displayed in each building. The village provides a historical and educational experience for visitors in an atmosphere of nostalgia, serenity, and beauty.
In 1965, Mrs. Rose Hawley, avid local historian and author, conceived the vision of a historical pioneer village on the site of the first county seat. Co-founder, Jerome Jorissen, then Mason County Clerk, purchased the land on which the original Courthouse stood, donated it to the Mason County Historical Society, and then supervised and did much of the design and layout of the village.
Their dream materialized in 1976 when Pioneer Village (now Historic White Pine Village) opened its gates with a bicentennial flourish to thousands of county residents and visitors. The name change was necessitated in 1979 because of a similarly named museum in Nebraska.
In 1990, Historic White Pine Village lost all its tax support and almost closed its doors. Through fundraising, donations, memberships, admissions and gift shop sales, we are still growing, adding and maintaining our buildings and grounds.
Each year over 400 volunteers help support Historic White Pine Village by giving of their time and talents. Different areas of need exist, such as interpreting, gardening, research, and collections to name a few! If you are interested in volunteer opportunities please let us know.
We welcome donations of historically significant artifacts and archival materials relating to Mason County into our collections. Generous people throughout the years have donated the objects seen in the Village.

Plot: My Family is about the life of the Harpers, a fictional family, who live in Chiswick, London. Ben (Robert Lindsay), a dentist, and Susan (Zoe Wanamaker), a tour guide who later works for an art gallery, have three children, Nick (Kris Marshall), Janey (Daniela Denby-Ashe) and Michael (Gabriel Thomson), all of whom cause problems in their own way. While Susan is a control freak, Ben prefers to leave the children to it and tries not to get involved. Janey later goes to University, but drops out and moves back in later, while Nick finally gets his own place. In the third series, Abi Harper (Siobhan Hayes), the daughter of Ben's cousin, comes to live with them, and she eventually falls for Roger, Ben's neighbouring dentist. The humour, like most domestic sitcoms, derives from the relationships of the family members and the situations they end up in.
I know, I'm 8 years too late but as they say, it's better late than never.
I just discovered this gem of a family sitcom via the BBC iPlayer and I just loved, loved, loved it. Robert Lindsay is a hoot! And so is Zoe Wanamaker of course but it's Lindsay's portrayal of Ben Harper that had me in stitches all throughout the first episode of the new season. Thanks to Amazon UK because I just added all 7 seasons in my rental queue.
I knew I should of watched The Entertainer at The Old Vic back in 2006, then I would of been introduced to Mr. Lindsay's talent much, much earlier. Then again, better late than never!
My Family is the best Family-sitcom in German TV at this time. I hope it´s possible to get it on DVD ( in German Language ) soon.

Controlling the Gift of Grace - Philosophy, Psychology and Religion - Chickensomething What Are You Afraid Of?
The hubris of those who would be gods. Dispensing versions of godhood upon the Earth to indulge the whims of selfish greed. Who can give grace? Who deserves grace?
Suppose psychology is a created outer shell used to control the inner being of philosophical soul? An artifical 'scientific' explaination of human behavior. To control or encase specific ideas in a shell, designed to imprison any expansion of the human soul towards the Infinity. Instead, staying within a finite 'google' sense of being.
1776: A very good year for philosophy. Be careful when you get into the ideas of learned and enlightened men.
I like these little threads L, they inspire a little thinking. The historical relevance is valuable.
In America, the beginnings of a more refined psychological control structure of rational sober skepticism took hold. Philosophical ideas of 'physic control' by David Hume coupled with Thomas Reid's views on 'common sense' began trickling down to the common people.
An example of this trickle down philosophy can be found with Thomas Paine. Through his more common approach to public rhetoric, sort of like a demagogue, Benjamin Franklin took advantage of his skills by publishing 'Common Sense' and distributing it on a massive scale. Old Big Ben was a major media winner at the 'time'. Ideas have a way of travelling like that! Through time!
These idea's of 'the American Crisis' were injected into the public psyche to build the necessary spirit for rebellion. Allowing a sovereign nation to be created on purpose. Using a deeper sense of planned philosophy.
Directed, of course, by the ones who control the money and resources. The merchants and the bankers who pay for all the scientists, philosophers, and engineers to come up with all these wonderful ideas of how things should be in a created utopian world. All induced with wonderful enticement to work for the greater good of being . Nice, thoughts, indeed!
The media of the day, slow as it was, provided the fuel to feed the fire!
Couldn't psychology, as a separate entity of science, be a shell surrounding the philosophical? Using established methods of suppression?
Philosophy seems to express understanding of the emotional, limbric system of being.
Psychology seems to suppress limbric expansion. Using drugs and constructed ideas to actively inhibit posterity. Acting as a materially constrictive cerebral shell using the connection of memory to inculcate a desired behavior.
There's more than one sense. 'Common sense' states that quite clearly.
Smile of reason take a breath.
The common language of sense mediating knowledge for profit.
Who gets to own the value of knowledge?
Who gets to know what?
About when, where, why, and the how of it?
What Master would really want his slave to know anything beyond his job?
Learning 'soulamentary' behavior with sentient symbology through the collective soul of humans being human.
It is the soul of terrorism!
I do believe A.I. uses the collective to learn. Do you think it has a soul?
Did the chickens really know their universe?

Have you heard of Frankitas? It is THE place to go is you are looking for tote one-of-a-kind bags and clutches which are handcrafted by artisans using traditional methods. After almost one year into operations, Frankitas has finally launched their brand with a gorgeous display of ethnic chic rang of bags, silk scarves and accessories which have been designed and meticulously perfected over the months.
This independent label was created by Francisca Turner Shaik, or Franki and has been creating waves with a strong social media following, a newly opened by-appointment-only gallery in Damansara Heights, and representation in Singapore, Australia and the Maldives. Frankitas is the combination of Franki and the word tas, which is Malay for bag. Franki is of Javanese-English roots and her Malaysian upbringing and worldly travels have nurtured her enduring love for ethnic, hand-woven fabrics. She wants to share and preserve this beautiful world heritage to the world and the best way was to showcase the highly skilled craftsmanship and beauty through clutch bags and accessories.
With amazing colours and design, all of Frankitas line are made with ethnic, hand-woven fabrics which represents traditional heritage and craftsmanship. Classic, contemporary yet upliftingly imaginative, Frankitas' whimsical colours on clean lines can best be described as Zooey Deschanel meets Audrey Hepburn.
The Frankitas collection which is fast growing started with the classic envelope clutch, the Signature Titin Clutch in Uzbekistan ikat, batik and songket with velvet lining and now has the Jikat Clutch made with Indonesian/Uzekistan ikat with suede lining and trimming.
Then came the long-ish Ava clutch made with ikat, songket or rang rang with suede trimming and the foldover Azhaara cutch also made using ikat, songket or rang rang. Taking the inspiration from classic envelope clutch, the Allaana clutch is made from batik with leather borders.
Franki wanted to show the world that these beautiful hand-woven textiles can be used in numerous ways and she only uses the most skilled artisans who practice age-old methods of weaving and tie-dying. Her quest for beautiful textiles have brought her to as far as Uzbekistan and Africa where each hand-woven textile took up to 22 days to make. These textiles were then sent to her network of seamstress across villages in the region who sew each piece from the beautiful textiles.
Besides clutches and bags, Frankitas also has a line of gorgeous accessories which showcases the ethic chic theme as well.
It is amazing how intrinsic the design are and how well they were made in accessories. The prints were gorgeous and you would look really one of a kind wearing them. At the launch Franki and her models showcased some of the ways you can carry the Frankitas bags and accessories. Don't they all look so beautiful.
The latest addition to Frankitas is the watermelon-sliced-shaped Semangka Clutch made with vibrant tenun rang rang and leather trimmings.
I am so loving the beautiful prints on the clutch which are really one of a kind and can you believe this gorgeous textiles were hand-woven individually and crafted into these amazing pieces which you can pair for day look and even a night look.
Besides that, Carmell a good friend of Franki also demonstrated how you can wear your scarf in four different ways. No more boring ways of wearing your scarf when you can rock these amazing prints with a chic look.
Use it as a shawl, or even run it through a brooch or a ring to get a nice neck piece to match your outfit.
Here are also two different ways you can tie your scarf and transform it into a chic headpiece as well.
See how the prints are incorporated in so many different types of bags? Love the large bag that can be used for travelling as well as the beige clutch. The design is just so attractive.
Just see how you can incorporate Frankitas pieces into your outfit be it a casual day out or even a night event. Really amazed with Franki's determination and passion for ethnic textiles and the effort she takes to let the world know more about those behind the amazing hand-woven textiles. It is time for the world to acknowledge the effort and hard work by the weavers and give them their due payment instead of losing out to the middle people. We really need more people like Franki who's passion will bring back the importance of all these ethnic elements in our society today.
For more details on Frankitas, make an appointment with Franki at her gallery at Damansara Heights. She would be more than happy to let you know more about the textile and inspiration behind her works and also you can purchase her items at the gallery. Also, you can choose the print and textile you want to custom make your own bag.


EOS is a controversial but nevertheless popular cryptocurrency. Called the "Operating System of dApps" it has grown to the 5th largest cryptocurrency by marketcap. Despite this, it has faced accusations of centralization, primarily due to its consensus algorithm. Rather than using proof-of-work or traditional proof-of-stake, EOS uses Delegated Proof-of-stake.
Delegated Proof-of-Stake limits the number of block producers to a dozen, essentially making it a cloud-based system rather than a decentralized one. In theory, it would be relatively simple for a few of the delegated stakers to attack the system by cooperating. The check in their power comes from a voting mechanism that determines who will be the stakers. However, the system is based on 1 EOS = 1 vote, so whoever holds the most currency has the most influence on who gets to become a block producer.
We will cover any other additions to the BancorX network.

Dana White confirms that Khamzat Chimaev will headline an UFC event soon

Arjan Bhullar interested in taking on "Buchecha" after Brandon Vera
Curtis Blaydes wants more than $200K to fight Jon Jones

Alistair Overeem expresses his vision on retirement and plans on one final run at UFC GOLD
Ankith Surana
Khamzat Chimaev won't get another trip to the octagon in the next series of Fight Island events. But he's in for something possibly bigger.
At a Thursday pre-fight press conference for UFC 253, UFC President Dana White confirmed Chimaev will headline a UFC fight card sometime after the promotion returns to Las Vegas late next month. The five-round fight will come against a ranked opponent, though White did not give a name.
Just hours before the presser, Chimaev tweeted the search for an opponent is on for a headlining bout. He thanked White for the opportunity.
Following an eye-popping 17-second knockout of Gerald Meerschaert at UFC Vegas 11, the UFC president considered booking Khamzat on Fight Island. Although initially penciled in for a welterweight bout against two-time title challenger Demian Maia, Chimaev's options included another fight before Maia, White said.
Khamzat Chimaev: One of a kind
At the UFC Vegas 11 press conference, White explained the rationale behind giving the young fighter as many fights as he could handle.
"The guy is special," he said. "I've been in this game my whole life, I've never seen anything like him. He's special, he's different. He wants to fight again, so I've never been in a position where I'm like, 'Who's next? How do we get him a fight? How do we get him over here? How do we do this? How do we do that?' It's fun and I like it."
"I think when you're a fight fan, a guy like this is the type of guy that you love to watch and follow and hate and whatever it might be. This guy is one of the most special fighters I've ever seen, if not the most special guy that I've ever come across. And he kept telling me leading up to [the Meerschaert] fight, 'You think I'm a wrestler. Wait until you see my hands.' Holy s*it, he wasn't lying."
Khamzat has taken the MMA world by storm since joining the UFC roster in July, picking up three dominant finishes – one by submission and two by knockout, showing off his well-rounded game. Chimaev has won three straight in the octagon within the span of 66 days, an unheard-of pace for a UFC fighter. He remains undefeated in nine pro bouts.
White did not provide a timeline for Khamzat Chimaev's first headlining appearance. Given the current event timeline, though, it's likely to be in November or December.

Q: I have an error runing a while loop in python I am begineer at coding in python and i am trying to create a simple calculator.I want the code to repeat it self an quit when i type in "q".But the output gave an error ""
Here is the code
while True:
    nums=float(input('Enter numbers for calculations'))
    if str(nums) == 'q':
        break
    operation.append(nums)

Here is the error it gave:
 * nums=float(input('Enter numbers for calculations'))
ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'q'*

A: because the input() is already a string by definition if you put a "float" inside it, it will turn it into a string right away so:
while True:
    x= input('Enter numbers for calculations')
    if x == 'q':
        break
print(x)

will make it repeat itself and when you type q it will stop

The first U.S. Women's National Physique Championship, promoted by Henry McGhee and held in Canton, Ohio in 1978, is generally regarded as the first true female bodybuilding contest—that is, the first contest where the entrants were judged solely on muscularity.[13] In 1980, the first Ms. Olympia (initially known as the "Miss" Olympia), the most prestigious contest for professionals, was held. The first winner was Rachel McLish, who had also won the NPC's USA Championship earlier in the year. The contest was a major turning point for female bodybuilding. McLish inspired many future competitors to start training and competing. In 1985, a movie called Pumping Iron II: The Women was released. It documented the preparation of several women for the 1983 Caesars Palace World Cup Championship. Competitors prominently featured in the film were Kris Alexander, Lori Bowen, Lydia Cheng, Carla Dunlap, Bev Francis, and McLish. At the time, Francis was actually a powerlifter, though she soon made a successful transition to bodybuilding, becoming one of the leading competitors of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Due to the growing concerns of the high cost, health consequences, and illegal nature of some steroids, many organizations have formed in response and have deemed themselves "natural" bodybuilding competitions. In addition to the concerns noted, many promoters of bodybuilding have sought to shed the "freakish" perception that the general public has of bodybuilding and have successfully introduced a more mainstream audience to the sport of bodybuilding by including competitors whose physiques appear much more attainable and realistic.
In the last week leading up to a contest, bodybuilders usually decrease their consumption of water, sodium, and carbohydrates, the former two to alter how water is retained by the body and the latter to reduce glycogen in the muscle. The day before the show, water is removed from the diet, and diuretics may be introduced, while carbohydrate loading is undertaken to increase the size of the muscles through replenishment of their glycogen. The goal is to maximize leanness and increase the visibility of veins, or "vascularity". The muscular definition and vascularity are further enhanced immediately before appearing on stage by darkening the skin through tanning products and applying oils to the skin to increase shine. Some competitors will eat sugar-rich foods to increase the visibility of their veins. A final step, called "pumping", consists in performing exercises with light weights or other kinds of low resistance (for instance two athletes can "pump" each other by holding a towel and pulling in turn), just before the contest, to fill the muscles with blood and further increase their size and density.
The motor proteins actin and myosin generate the forces exerted by contracting muscles. Current recommendations suggest that bodybuilders should consume 25–30% of protein per total calorie intake to further their goal of maintaining and improving their body composition.[30] This is a widely debated topic, with many arguing that 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day is ideal, some suggesting that less is sufficient, while others recommending 1.5, 2, or more.[31] It is believed that protein needs to be consumed frequently throughout the day, especially during/after a workout, and before sleep.[32] There is also some debate concerning the best type of protein to take. Chicken, turkey, beef, pork, fish, eggs and dairy foods are high in protein, as are some nuts, seeds, beans, and lentils. Casein or whey are often used to supplement the diet with additional protein. Whey protein is the type of protein contained in many popular brands of protein supplements and is preferred by many bodybuilders because of its high Biological Value (BV) and quick absorption rates. Whey protein also has a bigger effect than casein on insulin levels, triggering about double the amount of insulin release.[33] That effect is somewhat overcome by combining casein and whey. Bodybuilders are usually thought to require protein with a higher BV than that of soy, which is additionally avoided due to its claimed estrogenic properties. Still, some nutrition experts believe that soy, flax seeds and many other plants that contain the weak estrogen-like compounds or phytoestrogens, can be used beneficially, as phytoestrogens compete with estrogens for receptor sites in the male body and can block its actions. This can also include some inhibition of pituitary functions while stimulating the P450 system (the system that eliminates hormones, drugs and metabolic waste product from the body) in the liver to more actively process and excrete excess estrogen.[34][35] Cortisol decreases amino acid uptake by muscle, and inhibits protein synthesis.[36]
The important role of nutrition in building muscle and losing fat means bodybuilders may consume a wide variety of dietary supplements.[42] Various products are used in an attempt to augment muscle size, increase the rate of fat loss, improve joint health, increase natural testosterone production, enhance training performance and prevent potential nutrient deficiencies.
Although muscle stimulation occurs in the gym (or home gym) when lifting weights, muscle growth occurs afterward during rest periods. Without adequate rest and sleep (6 to 8 hours), muscles do not have an opportunity to recover and grow.[citation needed] Additionally, many athletes find that a daytime nap further increases their body's ability to recover from training and build muscles. Some bodybuilders add a massage at the end of each workout to their routine as a method of recovering.[51]

Riemer Sues RFD-TV's The American Organizers For Non-Payment
Riemer seeks $600,000 in prize money and damages.
Chelsea Shaffer
Just four days before RFD-TV's The American gets underway in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, tie-down roper Reese Riemer, Stinnett, Texas, filed a lawsuit against the American's organizers, Rural Media Group, Inc., and RMG Events LLC, for failing to pay his winnings from the 2015 American.
The lawsuit seeks $600,000—the $517,000 Riemer says is owed to him for winning The American as a qualifier, plus damages, attorney fees and court costs. RMG Events issued Riemer the check March 4, 2015, but after rumors circulated that the qualifiers in the tie-down roping competition had made a deal to split the bonus pool regardless of the outcome, RFD-TV owner and founder Patrick Gottsch called Riemer, according to the suit filed yesterday. Riemer assured Gottsch that no deal had been made, but Gottsch informed Riemer that a stop payment had been put on his check for the $517,000 because of the rumors, the suit alleges.
"I view this as a simple breach of contract case, and we try those cases all the time," attorney John B. Thomas of the Houston-based litigation boutique Hicks Thomas LLP, counsel for Riemer, said. "RFD, what they've implied in their comments, is that these four contestants got together and cooked up the deal. Then why in the world would they invite Tuf Cooper and Timber Moore back to the American this year if they did anything wrong? It's powerful evidence that nobody did anything wrong. If those guys cheated, there's no way they'd have them back. If you go to their website right now, the video being used to promote The American is showing Reese's winning run from last year."
The lawsuit cites use of Riemer in The American's promotional material, including interviews on RFD-TV, that reference Riemer as the tie-down winner. The suit claims that "in doing so, RFD-TV capitalizes on Reese's name and likeness to its own economic advantage."
Following The American, but before a stop was placed on Riemer's check, RFD-TV flew him to Nashville for interviews.
"I don't think there's any way they can establish Reese cheated in any way," Thomas said. "What I'd like to believe is that this is all just a misunderstanding. They'll respond to the lawsuit, and I hope they'll realize this is a misunderstanding and it will all go away."
As for the timing of the lawsuit just days before the 2016 edition looks to get underway, Thomas said, "Almost a year has gone by, and it's time Reese gets paid."
The lawsuit also addresses the matter of KC Jones' tie in the steer wrestling. KC Jones won The American on a tie-breaker, and despite the rules being unclear as to whether or not he was entitled to a part of the $1-million sidepot, Bernard paid Jones a share of the pot and deducted $83,000 from Riemer's and bareback rider Taylor Price's initial $600,000 checks to cover it. The lawsuit cites an interview on RFD-TV in which Bernard stated that Riemer agreed to allow KC Jones to take a piece of his winnings; however, Riemer said no such conversation ever took place but noted this as an admission by RFD that Riemer was entitled to payment.
The case is Reese Riemer v. Rural Media Group, et al., No. 2:16-cv-00031-J, in US District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Amarillo.
Spin To Win Rodeo reached out to Randy Bernard and RFD-TV for comment, but Bernard has yet to issue a statement on the matter.
