Is it okay to be imperfect? Japanese Kintsugi has the answer.
Kintsugi necklace made by Jeweller Katie Gayle
It's the time of year when, like most of us, I feel reflective and perhaps even a little melancholy. Have I achieved all that I wanted to over the past year? Am I more perfect, successful, thinner and happier than I was last New Year's Eve? I used to find it difficult to stop these thoughts from popping into my head. The answer was perhaps yes, or perhaps no, but feeling at peace used to be almost impossible for me at this time of year.
In 2015 I relocated from the UK to Austria, and I was given a rare gift: the gift of time. I had been made redundant, and I did not immediately have a job to step into in my new homeland, having time on my hands was very strange and not entirely welcome, as I am a self-confessed workaholic. I felt that I must have a project and a goal. So I began to walk. This walking became a passion, this passion became an addiction, and it changed my life in ways I could not have imagined. After a year of walking the same 15 kilometre walk every week for fifty-two weeks, I felt transformed – not only fitter and healthier but also calmer and more at peace. I felt compelled to write a book about my experience, and my editor advised that I undertake a final walk to conclude the book and this proved to be excellent advice.
On the 22nd December, the anniversary of my first walk, I stepped out into the cold mountain air and a world rimed in a crisp hoarfrost, a pale lemon sun was rising over the mountain range ahead of me and illuminating the sharp, icy blades of grass and dried seedpods which stood like filigree skeletons.
Dawn in Austria - a pale lemon sun rises
Frozen seedhead in frost - it will live again next year
Then a dense fog descended. After two hours of walking the fog suddenly cleared to reveal a pale blue sky, the backdrop of enormous spruce trees were dripping with tawny-gold pine cones. The sun shone down on me, warm and comforting.
Footpaths are like the cracks and fissures of our lives
As the fog and mist cleared to reveal a calm undramatic sky, I had the sudden realisation that this was a metaphor for my new life; a life not filled with drama and overwork, but a more tranquil and ordered life. I saw the criss-crossing of footpaths in the landscape and it made me think about the footpaths of my own life. I decided in that moment that I didn't want to erase my past, because our personal histories inform who we are.
Footpaths in the snow - like a Kintsugi repair
Since that day, I have seen myself as a piece of Japanese pottery that has been repaired using the Kintsugi method, the Japanese Art of restoring broken ceramics with a lacquer of gold or silver. Translated Kintsugi means "connected by Gold." The story of Kintsugi is said to have begun in the 15th century when the Japanese military commander Ashikaga Yoshimasa broke one of his favourite Chinese tea bowls. The broken pieces were gathered up sent for repair, but when the restored bowl was returned Yoshimasa was appalled by the hideous restoration that had been completed using ugly, thick, metal staples. The commander urged Japanese craftsmen to come up with a more aesthetic method of reconstruction. The subsequent Kintsugi approach, which emphasises rather than hides the damage, illustrates a crucial difference between eastern and western philosophy. Kintsugi beautifies the breakage and treats it as an essential part of the object's history. A broken pot is not something to be discarded, but once repaired, is considered to be more precious than it was before. The cracks and fissures stand out, and the whole story of the history of the object is apparent. Valuable things get broken, and over time we inevitably make mistakes, have failures, and tragedies and disasters befall us. But they are part of us, and perhaps eventually they improve us. Walking, contemplation and giving myself some time to repair my scars helped me to understand this.
I am lucky enough to have a partner who is an artist and a jeweller and telling her of my realisation she disappeared to her workshop and made me a Kintsugi piece of my own. Finding a broken heart in her workshop, she repaired it with fine silver. When 2021 kicks in I shall be wearing it and I will try not to forget that I am merely imperfectly perfect and that is good enough for me.

If you're struggling with your finances and have a poor credit, you're not alone. It is quite common among people around the world, and this is why loans are created. Poor Credit Loans can help you get through tough times specifically when it comes to your finances.
Having poor credit is not something new either. There is an abundance of lenders offering poor credit loans, so you don't have to fret. However, you need to understand the ins and outs of poor credit loans before taking out one.
Poor credit means you have a score just below the good credit rating, but references may vary. Poor credit is somewhere between the good credit and the bad credit scores. A poor credit score typically ranges from 500 to 579. Scores ranging from 300 to 499 are already considered bad credit.
It is often difficult to get a loan approved with a poor credit score because lenders consider them as risky borrowers. However, looking for lenders that will offer you a loan if you have a poor credit rating isn't that bad because you have many options. You may have defaulted on a loan or missed credit card payments in the past, but it doesn't mean you are forever banned to be eligible for poor credit loans.
Good thing about these poor credit loans lenders is that they will only conduct a soft credit inquiry when you apply for them to find out what rates they can offer you. Apply to as many lenders as possible that use a soft pull. Then, compare the rates. A soft inquiry enables you see the details of the poor credit loans without formally applying, which means your credit score will not be affected, so you don't have to worry about damaging it further.
If you are offered poor credit loans, expect that the interest rate, fees, and charges are higher than those loans for people with good credit, and there's also a possibility you'll get declined. The high interest rate on poor credit loans is the lender's way of compensating for the risk of lending you money.
What are the options for poor credit loans?
You may choose to take out unsecured personal loans if you have a poor credit. You can get the money you need without having to use your home or any asset as security for the loan. Although these loans have sky-high interest rates, they are than nothing for those with poor credit.
In contrast, if you want to get a lower interest rate, you may take out a secured loan. You use your personal asset as collateral for the loan, so you can get a larger and possibly lower percentage cost than if it were unsecured.
Those who have a poor credit, but are non-homeowners can opt for a logbook loan. This type of loan is secured against any vehicle such as your car, van, or motorcycle. However, you must be aware of the consequences of secured loans in the instance that you can no longer make the repayments.
If you are looking for small, short-term funds, payday loans have always been a quick way for those with poor credit to get cash. Perhaps you just need £200 or £300 to cover expenses until your next paycheck, payday loans are very helpful. You even borrow up to £1,000 for over thirty days. This type of loan can help people who have a poor credit in times of unexpected financial emergencies.
If you have a poor credit history, doorstep loans, also called home credit, are also a helpful option. You can borrow up to £2,500, depending on the lender, and it is subject to affordability. With service to your door, people with poor credit often use this type of loan for emergency expenses such medical bills or your car needs some immediate fixing.
Peer-to-peer or P2P loans are also a good alternative for poor credit. P2P lenders let you borrow money from investors rather than a bank or building society. It works like a bank, only that the interest rate for the investors are higher. The interest rate will be higher than that of banks, but it is a viable option for those with poor credit. Peer to peer lending can offer better deals than some traditional loans.
Another alternative that you can also try is the credit union loan, which are offered by community-run co-operatives. Credit unions are also good sources of financial services for people with poor credit.
Loans from credit unions are also much easier to get than from a bank because the credit standards of credit unions are often more lenient. Since they are not-for-profit entities, they can offer loans and other financial services much more cheaply than profit-driven banks. However, you first need to be a member of the credit union for you to qualify for a loan.
Instant loans online are also a viable alternative for you. Their same-day processing can provide you with the money you need quickly. Many people who use these short-term loans can appreciate these alternatives when there are no other options available. For those who have poor credit, it comes as a relief to get an instant loan.
If you have a poor credit score, you can also get a guarantor to help you obtain the funds you need. With this type of loan, you need another person with good credit and stable income to agree to cover the loan payments if you can't pay them. With a guarantor, you can be offered a lower interest rate.
Loans with a guarantor are very popular as well because you could borrow between £100 and £15,000 with a close friend or family member guaranteeing your loan repayments. A guarantor loan is much cheaper and more flexible than some other forms of poor credit borrowing.
Getting poor credit loans are opportunity for those with poor credit to repair their credit rating. If repayments are done promptly for the loan, it would show that the borrower is reliable.
All loans come with certain risks. You should always make sure that you could afford the repayments before you take out any loan. If you don't make the repayments as agreed, you could end up heavily in debt and ruin your credit rating even more.
If you do choose to get poor credit loans, compare all your options carefully to keep your cost down. Make sure you can manage the monthly repayments without compromising your other monthly expenses.
Regardless of what you might need the money for, you'll always be able to access the best deals when you have a good credit rating. Shop around for the loan that will best suit your personal needs, and work on improving your credit score so that you'll have better options available to you in the future.

Q: Implicit Differentiation Problem I have this problem: $\:3x^2-10x^2\ln \left(y\right)=e^{2y}$
I end up with this: $\left(6x-\left(10x^2\left(\frac{1}{y}\cdot \frac{dy}{dx}\right)+ln\left(y\right)\cdot 20x\right)=2e^{2y}\cdot \frac{dy}{dx}\right)$
I am a little confused as to what to do as I can't leave my answer like this, can I ?

A: First, you should distribute and get rid of all of the parentheses. Next, one should get all of the $dy/dx$ terms on one side and all of the terms that do not include $dy/dx$ on the other side. Then, solve for $dy/dx$.

Q: Bootstrap Multiple Select Two Side In Bootstrap, is there a plugin for multiple select two side? or tutorial how to create a multiple select two side in the bootstrap, from moving right or left, adjust up or down position. Example in jQuery: http://www.stevefenton.co.uk/cmsfiles/assets/File/twosidedmultiselect.html but how in the bootstrap?

A: You can use multiselect.js. It really makes things simple.
With move up/down buttons

$('#multiselect').multiselect();
<link href="https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

    <select name="from[]" id="multiselect" class="form-control" size="8" multiple="multiple">
      <option value="1">Item 1</option>
      <option value="2">Item 2</option>
      <option value="3">Item 3</option>
      <option value="4">Item 4</option>
      <option value="5">Item 5</option>
    </select>

    <button type="button" id="multiselect_rightAll" class="btn btn-block"></button>
    <button type="button" id="multiselect_rightSelected" class="btn btn-block"></button>
    <button type="button" id="multiselect_leftSelected" class="btn btn-block"></button>
    <button type="button" id="multiselect_leftAll" class="btn btn-block"></button>

    <select name="to[]" id="multiselect_to" class="form-control" size="8" multiple="multiple"></select>

        <button type="button" id="multiselect_move_up" class="btn btn-block"></button>

        <button type="button" id="multiselect_move_down" class="btn btn-block col-sm-6"></button>

A: There is documentation on the bootstrap website for what you need:
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html#forms
Have a look at Inline checkboxes, Inline form or simply even just using the boostrap span* to arrange your select items e.g

select item 1

select item 2

This would align two items side by side in two span1 divs.

Maria Josepha Reiter (auch Mimi Reiter, Mitzi Reiter; geschiedene Maria Woldrich, verwitwete Maria Kubisch; * 23. Dezember 1909 in Berchtesgaden; † 28. Juli 1992 in München) war in den späten 1920er Jahren eine Bekannte Adolf Hitlers. Sie erzählte 1959 dem Nachrichtenmagazin Stern von einer langjährigen und intimen Beziehung mit Hitler. Ihre Darstellung wird heute als unwahrscheinlich und stark übertrieben bewertet.

Leben
Marias Eltern, der Mitbegründer der Sozialdemokratischen Partei in Berchtesgaden Karl Reiter und Mara Reiter geb. Wenger (gest. 9. November 1926), hatten 1908 in Berchtesgaden geheiratet. Nach ihren eigenen Angaben war Hitler 37 Jahre alt und sie erst 16, als sie ihm in seinem bevorzugten Geschäft in Obersalzberg erstmals begegnete. Das wäre im Jahr 1926 gewesen. Nach einer anderen Version sollen sie sich im Kurpark Berchtesgaden begegnet sein, wo sie den Hund ihrer Schwester ausführte. Hitler soll Maria Reiter, nach einer längeren freundschaftlichen Beziehung, einen Heiratsantrag gemacht haben. Er habe mit ihr eine Familie mit "blonden" Kindern gründen wollen. Als er sie dann für Monate nicht mehr aufsuchte, habe sie sich 1927 umbringen wollen, was aber ihr Schwager noch rechtzeitig verhindert habe. Zudem soll sie erfahren haben, dass sich Hitler mit seiner Nichte Geli Raubal traf.

Nach einer gescheiterten Ehe (5. Oktober 1930 in Stams – 10. Februar 1933 in Stams) mit dem ortsansässigen Hotelier Ferdinand Woldrich sei sie von Rudolf Heß davon überzeugt worden, dass Hitler immer noch an ihr interessiert sei und sie in München wieder zu sehen wünsche. Aber mehr als eine Liebesnacht sei aus der Anbahnung nicht entstanden. Hitler war zu einer Eheschließung aus politischen Gründen nicht bereit, schickte aber seinen persönlichen Anwalt Hans Frank, um ihr bei ihrer Scheidung zu helfen.

Auch zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt (1934) soll er eine Beziehung – ohne Ehe – gewünscht haben, was sie allerdings ablehnte. Zu ihrer zweiten Heirat 1936 mit dem SS-Hauptsturmführer Georg Kubisch soll Hitler gratuliert haben. Bei ihrem letzten Treffen, 1938 in München, klagte er über die schlechte Beziehung zu Eva Braun. Als Kubisch 1940 bei Dünkirchen fiel, habe Hitler ihr einhundert rote Rosen geschickt.

Nach Kriegsende lebte Maria Kubisch eine Zeit lang mit Hitlers Schwester Paula Hitler zusammen und arbeitete als Hausmädchen in einem Hotel.

Der Hitler-Biograph Peter Longerich bewertet die Möglichkeit einer Liebesbeziehung skeptisch. Die Bekanntschaft ist mit Briefen von Hitler belegt, deren Inhalt lasse aber nicht auf eine Liebesbeziehung rückschließen. "Nichts deutet darauf hin, dass sich aus der Freundschaft eine intime Beziehung entwickelt hätte", die Bekanntschaft habe nur "einige Monate" gedauert.

You are here: Home / Featured / Image is everything: When is a cyclist not a cyclist?
When is a cyclist not a cyclist? When they're just a person who currently happens to be riding a bicycle.
What people think of when they hear the word "cyclist" determines how they are treated, sometimes with deadly serious consequences.
In the UK, the word "cyclist" conjures up images of head-down, lycra-clad young men (mostly) pedalling furiously on racing bikes.
Either that or scofflaws pulling wheelies who are probably already late for their appearance at the juvenile court.
Too easy then to see cyclists as a danger to society.
When we should instead be protecting cyclists from danger.
The media portrays cyclists as a problem, not as part of the solution.
Teachers on their way to school?
In more civilised countries people see the person, not the bicycle.
What image is in your head when you think "cyclist"?
All photos from @modacitylife, authors of the inspirational "Dutch blueprint for urban vitality: Building the cycling city".
I think the problem is in the UK cycling is mainly seen as a sport, as people often see large numbers in road racing clubs using public roads for their sport, partly as their are few velodromes affordable or available to them (imagine the outcry if motorsport did similarly!).
We need a fully holistic approach to cycling to change attitudes and perceptions here, involving government, highway authorities, County, Local and Parish Councils, to that of cycling for transport, (commuting, school run, shopping etc) leisure, health, environmental and even mental wellbeing and stress relief.
For decades now, successive governments have concentrated on building roads for motor transport exclusively, determining that this is the way forward for economic growth, whilst slashing spending on what they see as non productive. This has to change and very soon if we want to continue living on this planet. Sadly, in the current climate of austerity, they are still not listening, despite the widely accepted worldwide view that the end of the polluting petrol and diesel internal combustion engined transport is but a few years away now.
It can be done, many continental countries such as the Netherlands have had excellent such facilities for many years and the benefits are there for all to see, it just depends on priorities. What possible encouragement is there to promote more cycling on Britain's dangerous traffic choked streets, with few and often no facilities for safe cycling and such poor air quality?
The answer to the above question probably is we are all cyclist, or have been at one time, possibly only in childhood but the combination of the above hazards and government intransigence, coupled with the aspirational attitude towards obtaining motorised transport both from our piers and from industry, have literally driven the desire to cycle away. Time to for a change!
* Fietser = a "bicycler", or someone ordinary riding a bicycle.
* Wielrenner = a "wheel runner", or sport cyclist.
The traditional Dutch bicycle (a design originated in the UK!) is known as an Oma Fiets, literally a "Grandmother Bicycle". You see a LOT of grandmothers riding them, too!

Q: How do I elegantly combine these two ruby commands? I am using ActsAsTaggableOn on my Item model.
To get a list of all the items tagged with a particular tag, I have to do this:
Item.tagged_with("some_tag")

However, I am using this in a navigation partial to dynamically generate navigation of tags based on the amount of items in a tag. I want the 4 tags that have the highest number of items.
So I am doing this in my navigation partial:
<% Item.tag_counts.order(:count).limit(4).each do |tag| %>
    <% if params[:tag] == tag.name %>

<%= link_to tag.name.capitalize, tag_path(tag.name) %>

    <% else %>

<%= link_to tag.name.capitalize, tag_path(tag.name) %>

    <% end %>
<% end %>

However, when I only have say 2 or 3 items (i.e. any amount below 4 but greater than 1) and I have an item that has been tagged but not 'approved' (i.e. it doesn't show on the page until it has been approved by an admin and the flag is_approved changes from false to true) the tag shows up in this list (which is bad, I don't want it to show up when no items have been approved), but the item doesn't show up when you click the tag (which is good because it hasn't been approved).
How do I modify the each statement to also accommodate items that have been approved?
The easiest way to determine if an Item has been approved is like this:
item.is_approved?

Example:
> i
 => #<Item id: 17, name: "10pp-logo", link: "10pound.zip", description: "10PP Logo.

Full of graphical good...", price: 6.99, user_id: 1702, created_at: "2013-11-24 12:56:05", updated_at: "2013-11-24 12:56:05", image: "ten.png", is_approved: false, approved_at: nil>
> i.is_approved?
 => false

Edit 1:
 > Item.tag_counts
   (2.0ms)  SELECT items.id FROM "items"
  ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag Load (4.5ms)  SELECT tags.*, taggings.tags_count AS count FROM "tags" JOIN (SELECT taggings.tag_id, COUNT(taggings.tag_id) AS tags_count FROM "taggings" INNER JOIN items ON items.id = taggings.taggable_id WHERE (taggings.taggable_type = 'Item' AND taggings.context = 'tags') AND (taggings.taggable_id IN(13,15,17)) GROUP BY taggings.tag_id HAVING COUNT(taggings.tag_id) > 0) AS taggings ON taggings.tag_id = tags.id
 => [#<ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag id: 6, name: "gmail">, #<ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag id: 11, name: "10pp">, #<ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag id: 4, name: "twitter">, #<ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag id: 5, name: "facebook">, #<ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag id: 8, name: "fitness">, #<ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag id: 1, name: "notepad">, #<ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag id: 2, name: "paper">, #<ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag id: 9, name: "logo">, #<ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag id: 7, name: "login form">]

A: Why not only list the approved items?
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
  def self.approved_and_tagged_with(tags)
    self.tagged_with(tags).where(approved: true)
  end
end

# View
Item.approved_and_tagged_with("some_tag")

Update: to wrap the most tagged items
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
  scope :approved, where(approved: true)

If you are a business owner struggling to find appropriately skilled employees, or if you live overseas and wish to migrate to Australia, a 457 visa may be the solution. Navigating the visa process can be confusing and heavy with paperwork and jargon – YML Group offers migration business services to assist you through this process.
This particular class of visa is reserved for skilled temporary work. If you are eligible for a 457 visa, you will be allowed to work in Australia for up to 4 years. It's important to understand that you must be sponsored by your employer under this visa class.
If you're an employer, your business may be eligible to sponsor someone on a 457 visa if your business has not been able to find an Australian citizen or permanent resident to fill a skilled role.
There are a number of key requirements that must be filled by both potential employees and potential employers in order to be eligible for a 457 visa – or to sponsor someone on a 457 visa. Firstly, as an individual, you must be working in an approved occupation as defined by the Australian Government. Information on whether your occupation meets the criteria is available through a migration agent or the Australian Government . In addition, you must meet skill and language requirements, and have been nominated by an approved business (i.e. a business approved for employment and sponsorship of 457 visa holders). You may be required to complete a skills assessment.
There are two pathways you can take as a business owner, if you wish to become an approved sponsor. YML Group will assist you in choosing the right pathway for your business, and ensure you understand all obligations you agree to undertake by becoming a sponsor.

Needham Reiterates Their Buy Rating on NuVasive (NUVA)
By Jason Carr
Needham analyst Michael Matson reiterated a Buy rating on NuVasive (NASDAQ: NUVA) today and set a price target of $75. The company's shares closed yesterday at $62.51.
Matson said:
"NUVA's 3Q18 revenue beat while its EPS missed. Management raised revenue guidance but lowered EPS guidance. Organic growth increased to 8% in 3Q18 from 5% in 2Q18 as improved domestic growth offset slower international growth. Operating margin was 220 bps below consensus as management decided to exploit an improving spine market by reinvesting in SG&A (up 70 bps Y/Y) and R&D (up 50 bps Y/Y). Gross margin met consensus and West Carrollton remains on track to deliver 130-150 bps of margin benefit in 2019. While the margin performance is frustrating, we expect the stronger growth combined with in-sourcing to drive better margin performance in 2019 and reiterate our Buy rating."
According to TipRanks.com, Matson is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 10.8% and a 58.2% success rate. Matson covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Boston Scientific Corp, Zimmer Biomet Holdings, and Wright Medical Group.
The word on The Street in general, suggests a Strong Buy analyst consensus rating for NuVasive with a $75 average price target, representing a 20.0% upside. In a report issued on October 19, Piper Jaffray also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $75 price target.
Based on NuVasive's latest earnings release for the quarter ending September 30, the company reported a quarterly net profit of $15.92 million. In comparison, last year the company had a net profit of $33.62 million.
NuVasive, Inc. engages in the development of minimally-disruptive surgical products and procedurally-integrated solutions for spine surgery. It offers cervical and spine fusion surgery, cervical plating, and posterior fixation products. The company was founded by Alexis V. Lukianov on July 21, 1997 and is headquartered in San Diego, CA.

Having a tattoo is a long-term duty , and discovering a skilled craftsman to perform the work is likely one of the savvies choices you can make. Having a portfolio of tattoo overflowing with originality and capability, Valentin Hirsch marks the pictorial advance and undeviating quality of his abilities apparent . He makes dot-work tattoos that normally define in proportion animal, has the inclusion of severe glare of extensive felines, partial of its expression on a various appendage. Before getting hold of the tattoo gun four years prior, Hirsch was prepared I different works. An aesthetic experience clearly runs over inside his mind boggling system and arrangements .

Q: Multisteps form creation with relationships I'm trying to implement a multistep form following this article: https://medium.com/@nicolasblanco/developing-a-wizard-or-multi-steps-forms-in-rails-d2f3b7c692ce

#ERROR

undefined method `tag_ids' for #<Wizard::Evaluation::Step3:0x00007fadb2be6a88>

How can i make that module recognizes the relationships?

A: I think you will need a custom validation for tag_ids. I don't think rails will validate multiple items in one step. Maybe add a custom validation at the bottom of your application controller:
def validate_tag_ids
  if !tag_ids.is_a?
    errors.add(:tag_ids, :invalid)
  end
end

And then use:
validates: :validate_tag_ids

instead of:
validates :tag_ids, presence: true

Q: Weird excel formatting...is this possible? I made a table in Excel and the inputs are going to be single letters. Is it possible to format the table so that, if a certain letter is inputted, the cell automatically changes to a specified colour???
Thanks, sorry if this isn't the right place to put this question.

A: Yes, you make use of conditional formatting.
Let's say your table is in A1:G5. Click on conditional formatting. Pick 'Highlight Cell Rules' and 'Equal To...'.

Meet the 16-Year Old Genius Who Has Just Been Accepted into 9 Law Schools
Haley Taylor Schiltz
Dallas, TX — Haley Taylor Schlitz, a 16-year old teenager who graduated from high school at the age of 13, is now set to attend classes at Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law, one of the nine law schools that accepted her, according to the American Bar Association.
This coming May, Haley will graduate with both an Associate's degree and a Bachelor's degree. In the upcoming summer, she will be attending a six-day program with the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington for incoming law students.
Haley was homeschooled in the fifth grade due to her parents' disapproval with the quality of education in her previous public school.
"I was just being taught to pass the end-of-the-year test to get to the next grade," she told Texas Lawyer. "I wasn't being taught to learn."
What's more, Haley said she wasn't allowed to take the test to enter the gifted program in her school. Her parents had to have her tested privately, in which they found out she is indeed gifted.
After homeschooling, she entered high school and graduated at the age of 13. For one year, she began taking classes at Tarrant County College before starting her studies at Texas Woman's University.
Now, she has been offered a place in nine different law schools into their 1L class. She chose to enroll this fall at Southern Methodist University, one of the top 50 law school in the US.
At first, Haley wanted to become a doctor just like his mother. But after experiencing such rejection to opportunities because of being Black, it "sparked a fire" in her to become a lawyer and help fight inequality. Aside from fighting for educational equality, she also finds intellectual property cool and interesting.


Pete Strutton receives funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC) and he is a Chief Investigator with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science.
A British Columbian fishing community has drawn almost universal condemnation after dumping 100 tonnes of iron rich dust into the ocean to stimulate a plankton bloom, in an effort to restore salmon numbers.
When the story broke in the Guardian, the New York Times, CBC, Nature and Science, many of the commentators claimed that ocean iron fertilisation on such a scale violated international protocols and had potentially dangerous impacts on the marine ecosystem.
But it is equally possible that the bloom was natural.
To understand why this may be the case and why the community took this approach to improving fish stocks, it is important to understand the science around iron fertilisation.
Oceanic iron fertilisation (OIF) has come to prominence as a potential geo-engineering approach to global warming. The idea is that iron dissolved in the ocean could accelerate the growth of massive plankton blooms. This would increase the uptake of anthropogenic CO2 from the atmosphere and sequester it deep in the ocean.
The natural process by which atmospheric CO2 enters the ocean and is sequestered on the ocean floor is known as the biological pump. It relies on large numbers of plankton in massive blooms capturing carbon through photosynthesis.
When the blooms die they sink to the bottom of the ocean, remaining there for thousands to millions of years and taking the CO2 with them.
However, in vast areas of the global ocean – the north Pacific, tropical Pacific and Southern Ocean – the efficiency of the biological pump is limited by extremely low bio-availability of dissolved iron. Without sufficient dissolved iron, large plankton blooms cannot form.
A map of satellite-derived mean annual chlorophyll concentration (units are mg chl m-3). Phytoplankton contain chlorophyll, so these maps are used as an indicator of ocean productivity. The white circles are the locations of nine OIF experiments performed since 1993.
At least nine OIF experiments have been performed since 1993 in each of the major iron-limited regions of the global ocean, mostly to understand changes in ocean productivity and atmospheric CO2 concentrations over glacial-interglacial cycles (~20,000 years).
Until recently, the export of carbon into the deep ocean had been confirmed in only two of these experiments. Even then, the efficiency of the transport was far less than expected.
But in 2004, an export efficiency (beyond 1000m depth) of greater than 50% was measured for an iron-fertilised bloom in a clockwise-rotating eddy in the Southern Ocean. This result has to some extent revived the debate surrounding iron fertilisation as a geo-engineering technique.
There are concerns about the impact of OIF on several aspects of ocean health. Fertilising with one nutrient will likely cause scarcity of the next least-available nutrient, probably phosphorous or nitrogen. When the blooms die and decompose, they consume oxygen and may lead to larger oxygen deficient zones. The phytoplankton favoured by iron addition could be the kind that produce potent neurotoxins, which accumulate up the food chain and cause illness in marine mammals and humans. These concerns have led to moratoria on ocean iron fertilisation. But it's also important to realise that these are only potential impacts. With the possible exception of depletion of other nutrients, none of these processes have been observed in any experiments to date.
When the Haida Salmon Restoration Corporation (HSRC) announced it had dumped 100 tonnes of iron-rich dirt into the north Pacific from the fishing vessel Ocean Pearl during mid 2012, people suggested it had potentially violated the international moratoria. And there were worries about the scale of the experiment and the potential for unintended negative environmental impacts.
All of the earlier OIF experiments deployed about 1 tonne of iron as iron sulphate solution. If the dirt used by the HSRC was any more than 1% iron by weight (it was likely more than 5%), this would qualify as the largest deliberate iron addition ever performed.
Some news reports of the iron addition have shown a single satellite chlorophyll image indicating what appears to be a bloom. However, this region of the ocean is populated by eddies that move productive, high-iron coastal waters into the low-productivity open north Pacific.
Is it possible to determine whether the bloom in the satellite image below was due entirely to deliberate iron fertilisation by the HSRC?
The image above is probably an average of about two weeks of satellite data. Individual daily images may be more useful for determining whether the circled bloom was natural or iron fertilised.
Many of the news reports say the iron fertilisation occurred in July this year, but this does not seem to be true. The Ocean Pearl deployed 20 drifters provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The deployment information for these drifters gives an approximate location of the ship.
The two images below tell us a little about the pre-existing chlorophyll concentrations in this region of the North Pacific and the Ocean Pearl's expedition.
The first is a snapshot from August 8 (before the ship left port). It shows some high chlorophyll near 139°W, 53°N, where the bloom was eventually seen in the first relatively clear satellite image.
In the August 25 image, the magenta circles are the deployment locations of the drifters (indicating the ship's track). The white circles are the location of the drifters on August 25 and the black lines are the drifter trajectories.
Based on the drifter data and some images from August 14 and 17 (not shown here for brevity), the Ocean Pearl arrived in the location of the bloom on August 14 at the earliest but probably started fertilising no earlier than August 16 or 17.
The high chlorophyll observed on August 25 (no more than eight or nine days after fertilisation) is approximately 4.5 mg m-3 and is probably an underestimate because of known problems with satellite chlorophyll retrievals at high latitudes.
In the Subarctic Ecosystem Response to Iron Enrichment Study (SERIES) experiment in 2002, chlorophyll concentrations of this magnitude were not observed until about 14 days after fertilisation.
All of this evidence strongly suggests the Ocean Pearl/HSRC did not solely generate the bloom observed on August 25. At best they may have slightly enhanced an already high chlorophyll area, as suggested in an article in the Vancouver Sun. They did not create a bloom in an ocean desert.
If it is their intention to sell carbon credits to help offset the cost of the experiment, how will they document the amount of carbon sequestered? Measuring the amount of sequestered carbon has been one of the biggest challenges from every OIF experiment. How would they determine how much of that carbon sequestration was due to the addition of iron and how much was natural?
It is easy to understand why this experiment has drawn such heavy criticism. However the over-emphasis on potentially negative but undocumented impacts does not help the debate. No deleterious impacts have been observed for any OIFs thus far. Risks may well be minimal and mitigated by good project design.
The scientific community, in its concern to show respect for international rules, should be careful to avoid hyperbole if it wants the public to support future research into this important aspect of global climate.

Have you heard about the latest esoteric "racist" symbol? No, it's not Pepe the Frog, but milk. That's right the gallon you buy at the store every week for your morning cereal has become a code word for "white nationalism", this threat has become so pervasive that the British tabloid Metro is here to provide an explainer:
For the last few weeks, white supremacists have been proudly declaring that they're 'lactose tolerant', and are adding 'glass of milk' emojis into their Twitter names….
Gasp?! Lactose tolerance!
For example Richard Spencer, who is most famous for getting punched in the face, has replaced the 'Pepe the Frog' emojis in his name with the glass of milk.
Who knew Richard had the power to make something racist just by associating his name with it. Next thing one knows, soon Apple products will be "racist", oh wait.
According to Metro the trend began on 4Chan and escalated at Shia LaBeouf's faux art exhibit:
It started when one user posted a world map (minus the US for some reason) of lactose tolerance in different countries, apparently showing that tolerance was higher in the UK and northern Europe… Sort of, although there's another reason why the whole meme has taken off. When Nazis hijacked Shia LaBeouf's 'He Will Not Divide Us' art performance (which has since been forced to close), they were seen on camera chugging milk and dancing around topless – showing off their runic and swastika tattoos.
Quelle horreur!
Now it has evolved into a general indicator that someone is a white supremacist. So there you have it.If someone you know starts adding milk emojis to their name and talking about how well they can tolerate lactose, it's probably time to de-friend.
There you have it indeed. The left are so paranoid that a simple glass of milk triggers them. What's next? Breathing air? After all, he-who-must-not-be-named also breathed air. It could be a gateway to "white supremacy", to the barricades go comrades!

This is quite the laugh. We should all lurk around jews and SJWs while drinking bottles or glasses of milk, and giving them knowing, sideways glances. Don't say anything, just eagerly gulp down the milk while giving them your best Travis Bickel stare.

That's about as sympathetic, intelligent and fair an interview as any AR can get.
My suggestion is you check out the following websites:

If you're a Christian:
True Sons of Abraham
GMWhiteAmerica.com
If you're feeling a bit naughty, and you're not afraid of a little light genocide humor, check out the Daily Stormer. It's a good news aggregation site from a pro-white perspective. Just be ready for some "shock treatment".
A lot of the bickering and snark you've encountered could be from trolls/infiltrators and the like. There are many people who have a vested interest in keeping us divided, and one of the ways they do that is by stoking controversy on Alt-Right websites. Just ignore it. We need White people to wake up and unite now.
Thanks for your reply Alex!
1) The snark is mostly from troll humor. If you're not used to it, get less sensitive. It's not personal. It's equivalent to sarcasm but in a different way.
2) Altright is more than just pride in our ancestry. It's acknowledging that we have a right to existence, especially in our indigenous lands and the civilizations that we created.
3) Richard Spencer sums it up with "Race is real, race matters, and race is the foundation of identity." We don't deny this basic fact to any people, ethnicity, or race on Earth. It should matter to everyone.
Thank you for your reply!! Very helpful.
I hope so 🙂
What are your thoughts on what the Altright means to you?
I'm developing this Youtube channel to explore that very question.

From the left's point of view, if you criticize Islam or suggest that trannies are mentally ill then you are a Nazi full stop and no further analysis is necessary. This token jew black isn't changing anyone's mind, right or left, about anything.

Oh man that's so two or more weeks ago! Since then there's been 'trash dove' and the 'a-ok!' symbol, which can be made into 'white power'. The 'a-ok' symbol didn't get very far, but did get mentioned on huffingtonpost.com (can't find a link, sorry). But, here: http://www.snopes.com/stephen-miller-white-power-hand-sign.
/pol/acks actively push this stuff. Actually the latest is 'Based Stick Man' / 'Alt Knight' as you can imagine.
FWIW the original guy didn't drink milk to signal whiteness (as I understand), he was just medically supposed to drink a lot of milk and /pol/ took it from there.
Yeah, it's not "new" news anymore, but still funny AF to read about. Good article.

During my La Aurora trip in May I relearned something that is very important to anyone who is serious about cigars: variety matters.
The first full day there we all visited La Aurora's factory and once we were all settled into one of their conference rooms Jose Blanco commenced our taste test of cigars. Each one of those cigars were created using only one specific kind of tobacco. I have already talked about this so there is no need to go on further about the process but there was one really important thing about that experience that I hope I can convey to you.
Unless you are willing to smoke a variety of cigars you will never understand what you really like in cigars. Take my experience as an example. When I first started out smoking cigars I was lucky enough to smoke some Fuentes. Solid cigars, medium strength, very good flavors, they are the epitome of what a dependable cigar is. But what if I just stuck to Fuentes? Even though Fuentes are great cigars, and I do recommend them highly, I would eventually have gotten bored with cigars and I seriously doubt I would still be smoking cigars with any regularity.
My first tentative steps away from the venerable Fuente brand were largely hit and miss. I think I took a road that many novice cigar smokers take: I got a lot of samplers along with a couple of sticks I had read about in Cigar Aficionado and on the cigar blogs. The samplers, which were largely comprised of crummy cigars (and by that I mean cheap) accounted for a lot of my "misses." But that was good for me because I found out I don't like most of the cheap cigars from Ghurka (there are some very good Ghurkas out there, which surprised me after my initial experiences with their cigars) and that just because the cigar's brand name is the same as a Cuban brand it isn't necessarily a good cigar (far from it).
Some of the samplers ended up working out and those successful forays into the unknown of the cigar ecosystem spurred me on to find out more about cigars and to be more adventuresome with my cigar selections. That is when I discovered some of the great boutique cigars like Tatuaje.
So go out and get some cigars that you haven't tried before. Who knows, you might find some new cigars that you like.
