A Tale of Two Families (With One Father in Common)
The very first book we ever read for YA Diversity Book Club was LIKE NO OTHER by Una LaMarche. Now Una has notched another first with us: She's the first author that we've read twice!
This month's selection was her latest, DON'T FAIL ME NOW, a delightful road trip novel with tons of diversity.
Michelle and her little siblings Cass and Denny are African-American and living on the poverty line in urban Baltimore, struggling to keep it together with their mom in jail and only Michelle's part-time job at the Taco Bell to sustain them.
Leah and her stepbrother Tim are white and middle class from suburban Maryland, with few worries beyond winning lacrosse games and getting college applications in on time.
Michelle and Leah only have one thing in common: Buck Devereaux, the biological father who abandoned them when they were little.
After news trickles back to them that Buck is dying, they make the uneasy decision to drive across country to his hospice in California. Leah hopes for closure; Michelle just wants to give him a piece of her mind.
Five people in a failing, old station wagon, living off free samples at food courts across America, and the most pressing question on Michelle's mind is: Who will break down first -- herself or the car? All the signs tell her they won't make it. But Michelle has heard that her whole life, and it's never stopped her before....
In a lot of ways, I am not like Michelle. I am not half-black; I did not grow up impoverished in inner city Baltimore; my mom is not a junkie; and my dad did not abandon me.
But in certain ways, I am like Michelle. On a superficial level, being half-Asian I can identify with belonging to multiple cultures and looking mixed. On a much deeper emotional level, I know what it's like to share a father with another family that's very different from my own.
My dad was married and had two daughters (and then got divorced) before meeting my mom and having me. I didn't really understand what that meant when I was little, and I didn't meet my half-sisters until I was 9. Like Michelle and Cass with Leah, I think they were wary of me, and maybe a bit resentful. But over time we've gotten to know each other better, we've gotten closer, and we've all realized that no matter what happened between our parents, we're family.
I think that theme is the strongest part of DON'T FAIL ME NOW. Family isn't just about blood -- it's about who we choose and how we treat them.
I especially liked that Michelle's family turned out to be so diverse -- in terms of race, socioeconomics, personality, and much more. Because that's how life is nowadays -- according to my personal experience, and national statistics. :P
DON'T FAIL ME NOW was a fantastic contemporary YA, managing to blend serious issues with humor and hope. I loved it.
In a similar but more mature vein, Tayari Jones's SILVER SPARROW also deals with half-sisters and secret families.

Q&A with Anna-Marie McLemore for YA Diversity Book Club
One of my favorite things about YA Diversity Book Club is the connection and cooperation we get from authors. Today, we're chatting with author Anna-Marie McLemore about her lyrical and imaginative debut THE WEIGHT OF FEATHERS.
1. Describe your book in a sentence or two.
THE WEIGHT OF FEATHERS is a story of a longstanding feud between two families, the meeting of two different cultures, and the love between a boy and a girl who've been raised not to go near each other.
2. What was your inspiration for writing this book?
The book came out of two different sparks coming together: remembering a story my father told me years ago about a mermaid show he saw when he was about my age, and an idea about performers who wear wings while climbing the tallest trees they can find. The rest of the story emerged from the setting of those two rival shows.
3. What kind of research did you have to do to make sure your characters were authentic?
Though the characters are very much fictional, the culture and traditions of the Palomas, who are Mexican-American, drew on my family's heritage. For the Corbeaus, I got in touch with a Romani studies scholar, whose expertise was invaluable in the process of making sure the book's depiction was as respectful and accurate as possible.
4. How did you come to incorporate the diverse elements in your book?
The Corbeaus and Palomas' backgrounds felt very organic to these characters' lives, and not just because I share the same heritage as Lace. The first thing I ever knew about Cluck Corbeau was his first name, but probably the second or third thing was that he was Romani. Though the idea of writing a main character whose background I don't share intimidated me, the fact that it felt right for the story helped me get past that initial hesitation.
5. How does the diversity in your book relate to your life?
Like Lace, I know that sense of feeling isolated by your family's traditions, but at the same time fiercely guarding them. There's a sense of both pain and pride about being an outsider.
6. What are some of your favorite YA books about diverse characters?
If you let me name them all, we'll be here a while! Because I identify as a queer writer, books with LGBT characters have been so important to me, and here I'll name just a few: If You Could Be Mine by Sara Farizan is such a bittersweet portrayal of two girls facing who they'll be as adults. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz is a vivid story not just of first love but of transcendent friendship. Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley is a poignant and beautiful novel about two high school seniors discovering who they are at a critical moment in history. Her upcoming What We Left Behind is also a scathingly real depiction of how a teen's exploration of gender identity impacts both his life and the lives of those he loves.
7. What areas of diversity do you want to draw attention to or do you feel are underrepresented in books?
There are so many different aspects of diversity we need more of. I'd love to see diverse writers feel free to tell the stories they want to tell. Whether they want to write about characters who just happen to be diverse, or characters for whom that's the focus of their story. Both those sides, and everything in between, are valid and valuable. If writers of all backgrounds feel free and empowered to tell stories, how they want to tell them, all of us—and our bookshelves—will end up stronger.

In a shocking representation of just how bad things are in Europe, the FT reports that major European industrial concern Siemens, pulled €500 million form a large French bank, which is not BNP and leaves just [SocGen|Credit Agricole] and deposited the money straight to the ECB. The implications of this are quite stunning, as it means that even European companies now refuse to work directly with their own banks, and somehow the ECB has become a direct lender/cash holder of only resort to private non-financial institutions! As Bloomberg reports further on the FT story, in total, Siemens has deposited between 4 billion euros and 6 billion euros, mostly through one-week deposits, with the ECB, FT says, cites the person. It isn't clear from which bank Siemens withdrew its deposits, per the FT... but it is hardly difficult to figure out. BNP Paribas isn't the bank involved, FT reports, cites unidentified person familiar with the bank. This story should be having far more impact on the EURUSD than any rumors about Greece lying it will fire all of its public workers only to make sure Eurobanks can survive one more day.
The company's move came almost a year after Europe's largest engineering conglomerate prepared itself for a future financial crisis by launching its own bank, an unusual move for an industrial group outside the car sector, where companies run big car financing and leasing businesses.
In an interview last December, Roland Châlons-Browne, chief executive of Siemens' financial services unit, said its banking business would enable the group to tap the central bank for liquidity and deposit cash at the ECB.
"In the case of another financial crisis, we will be able to broaden our flexibility and take out risk with our own bank," Mr Châlons-Browne said at the time.
Siemens does not only use the ECB as a haven; it also gets paid a slightly higher interest rate than it would get from a commercial bank.
The ECB paid an average interest rate last week of 1.01 per cent for its regular offers of one-week deposits, under which it withdraws from the financial system an amount of liquidity equivalent to the amount it has spent on eurozone government bonds.
At the end of 2010, Siemens was granted authorization by the German Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) to operate banking business in Germany.
Through its loan business, Siemens Bank expands the product range of Siemens' Financial Services unit, especially in sales financing. In addition, the deposit business of the bank increases flexibility in the area of corporate financing and provides the opportunity for the further optimization of risk management.
Siemens Bank is based in Munich and will be located in Germany only for the time being. Cross-border activities are planned in future. European countries will be the initial focus of such activities. Select emerging markets are additional focal points.
Siemens Bank is a subsidiary of Siemens AG and acts as an independent company. Nonetheless, it profits from its inclusion in the network of Siemens Group's financial services companies. The bank employs about 100 people, mainly experts from the areas of risk management and risk controlling as well as specialists from loan origination & structuring.

Comedian Munya Chawawa: 'People think I blew up in lockdown, but I've been doing this for years'
The comedian Munya Chawawa is all eyebrows and incredible ambition. "I love the idea of being indelible, of leaving a mark on the world," he says. "I can't process the idea of leaving it without having left something, you know?" He's bundled in a multicoloured fleece in a quiet corner of a south London pub – softly spoken, respectful, a little intense. In person, his famously abundant eyebrows – which Chawawa describes in his Instagram bio as "erotic" – do not disappoint.
Chawawa is best known for his satirical Twitter videos, which skewer trending news stories from Squid Game to Matt Hancock's extramarital affair, and often feature recurring characters, including racist newsreader Barty Crease, culturally appropriating TV chef Jonny Oliver, and posh drill rapper Unknown P. ("How many times did I bunk off Latin," he intones in one deathless rap, "to run a man down in Clapham.")
We are meeting to discuss his upcoming four-part YouTube Originals series, Race Around Britain. In it, Chawawa and fellow comedian Yung Filly travel the UK in a VW camper van, speaking with the general public about the Black British experience. Chawawa pitched the show in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests of June 2020. "It was tough," says Chawawa, of that time. "It was really stifling creatively, because there was this enduring feeling of, 'Wow, this is actually a dangerous world for us,' you know?"
The show draws on Chawawa's lived experience of racism as a mixed-race man. In one affecting moment, Chawawa talks about his first day at school in the tiny village of Framingham Pigot, in Norfolk. His parents had moved there from Harare when he was 11 – Chawawa's father is black Zimbabwean, his mother is white British.
A classmate asked Chawawa whether he wore a loincloth. He was gobsmacked, and devastated. While Chawawa had been happy in Zimbabwe – "People are very warm," he explains, "everyone wants you to do well" – in Norfolk, he was often lonely. "A lot of time in your own head," Chawawa says, "thinking to yourself, 'Am I ever going to have friends who are like me? What's the world like out there? There must be more to life than this.'"
Man of the moment: in a Squid Game parody
Where Race Around Britain might have felt didactic in lesser hands, the show makes for genuinely hilarious viewing, mostly because of the natural charisma of Chawawa and Filly. A game of "microaggression bingo" in a Welsh community hall ends with the victor throwing up their arms and cheering "I'm not a racist!"; when vox-popping people on the streets of Cardiff, a member of the public tells Filly that a durag is a "black thing", causing him to dissolve into laughter.
Crucially, says Chawawa, Race Around Britain's intended audience is people who are perhaps not au fait with terminology like unconscious bias and microaggressions, but are still open-minded and tolerant. "It's pointless for me to try and convert people into believing that black people's lives matter," says Chawawa, "because you either already believe that; you're on the fence but willing to learn; or you just straight deny it."
The show feels particularly necessary in an era of never-ending culture wars. "As somebody of colour," says Chawawa, "I don't know whether I will ever feel truly represented by the political situation here. That's the honest truth. So instead of feeling depressed by that fact, I try to use it as a source of inspiration for my satire." The gags in Race Around Britain have a serious message: Chawawa jokes about a "stop and search loyalty card" that rewards black men with free trips to Taser Quest as a way of illustrating the fact that black people are nine times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people, for example.
For people who are willing to learn, Race Around Britain is an attempt to talk about race "in a non-accusatory way," says Chawawa, "in a way that feels a bit warmer, a bit more welcoming". But Chawawa has no desire to make committed racists see people of colour as human beings. "My approach to it is," he says, firmly, "here's the message, it's in front of you. We can laugh through it, and if you want to take it away, you can."
Race Around Britain comes at the end of a phenomenally successful, if gruelling, 18 months for the 28-year-old. In a pandemic period where there was scarce else to do but browse online, Chawawa's career has exploded. His Matt Hancock video felt like a major social media event, shared on WhatsApp groups by everyone from Conservative-voting mums to TikTokking teens.
But although it feels as though Chawawa's fame has come overnight, in truth he's been grinding away behind the scenes for nearly a decade. "Anyone who says to me," he says, "'Oh, you really blew up during lockdown,' I think to myself, I've been doing this for years."
He'd initially hoped to be a TV presenter, because he enjoyed public speaking at school. While studying psychology at the University of Sheffield, Chawawa would interview students on nights out, edit the videos until 6am, and upload them the following morning.
In 2014, the late nights paid off: Chawawa won a vlogging competition for youth-focused music channel 4Music, and badgered executives for work experience until they gave him a job as a digital researcher. Chawawa climbed the ranks at 4Music, eventually becoming a producer.

It was a high-pressure job which Chawawa credits with teaching him the skills he'd later put to use in his fast turnaround viral videos. "We were making a live show every day for four days a week," he says. "If something happened before you were about to go live, you had to change the whole script… So I'm very used to having to do things at the last minute and quickly."
But Chawawa wanted to be on camera, not behind the scenes. He'd write jokes for the 4Music presenters to deliver. "I could see these jokes landing," he remembers, "and I knew it was making good TV." When he tried to get booked for presenting work, agents would tell him he didn't have enough of a profile. "I'd go to these meetings," he says, "and people would say, 'We love your showreel, you seem like a nice enough guy, but you don't have any followers. You're a nobody.'" One agent told him that she'd consider signing him if he had 30,000 followers on social media.
Chawawa could feel himself growing bitter. "Because of the nature of the industry," he says, "and the struggles I was facing as a presenter, being turned away, being told I didn't have enough of this or that, I started to be one of those people who was like, 'It's not fair!' I thought to myself, I don't want to be that guy. I don't want to suck energy out of the room." He read the self-help book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, which taught him to "be grateful for the good things that happen and to look ahead to the things you'd like to happen".
I'm not at all worried by what's happening. It's just like, cool, finally
Chawawa did anything he could to increase his social media following, so that he could get back in the room with the agent. Podcasting. Fashion blogging. (When I mention that I've seen his early #OutfitOfTheDay posts on Instagram – the hashtag is a staple of fashion bloggers – Chawawa covers his face. "Oh my god," he cringes.) By now, in addition to his 4Music work, Chawawa had a Saturday morning radio show on Reprezent, a Brixton-based community radio station, and was also picking up the odd presenting gig. "I'd host some acoustic music event where no one could even hear me talking on the microphone," he says, "but I'd have researched all the artists so I could interview them. None of this was paid, you get what I mean?"
In August 2018, Chawawa was on a bus. He saw a now-notorious Jamie Oliver recipe for jerk rice trending. The recipe prompted a national discussion about cultural appropriation. Chawawa saw an opportunity. "I thought," remembers Chawawa, "what would happen if you expanded out jerk rice? What would a Jamie Oliver Caribbean meal taste like?" He went home via Sainsbury's, recorded a faux-Caribbean meal in character as "Jonny Oliver", and posted it on Twitter.
"We're going to kick things off with the plantain," says Chawawa in the video, rictus grin on his face, "or as we call it in the UK, banana." He slams the banana in a microwave before mixing up a dish of baked beans and Uncle Ben's rice. "There he is," says Chawawa, gesturing to Uncle Ben, "the old bumbaclart."
Viral satire: in his infamous Matt Hancock song
The video went viral, and Chawawa was well on his way to 30,000 followers. "I started relentlessly making videos… And I just kept going and never stopped."
He sometimes thinks about all the people who told him "no" earlier in his career. "I remember every single one of those people," Chawawa says, "and my drive is to correct them, to prove them wrong. I will never say it to their face, never need to see them again, but I know they'll see me. That's what I use to drive myself." A flicker of defiance appears in his eyes momentarily, before he laughs and is all easy charm. "It's like Arya Stark in Game of Thrones," he says. "Isn't it? Except I'm not brutally murdering anyone."
There is a refrain on Twitter, where Chawawa now has 183,000 followers: the devil works hard, but Munya works harder. His fans marvel at the speed with which Chawawa can turn around a slickly edited video within a few hours of a news story breaking. "I have a very active imagination," he explains. "If I see something happening, already in my head I'll be thinking of ideas."
Take the Hancock video, which featured Chawawa hip-thrusting to Shaggy's It Wasn't Me. (Sample lyrics: How could I forget I wasn't wearing any PPE / Though she hasn't had her vaccination she got a little prick from me.) Chawawa put out the song just four hours after the Sun broke the story. "I thought that video was late by the time I put it out," Chawawa says, unbelievably.
He had woken up that morning looking forward to a relaxed day: a few meetings, go to the gym. "I went to Instagram," he says, "and saw there was a photo of Matt Hancock kissing Gina [Colangelo, his aide]. I thought to myself, it's politics, people don't really engage in politics, it's fine, not everyone's going to know about this."
Then he clicked on a news story about the affair online, and saw that within a half-hour it had received 1,000 comments. Already, social media users had begun impatiently tagging Chawawa in posts, demanding a video. "I checked my phone," he says, "and people were saying, in capital letters, 'WHERE IS MUNYA CHAWAWA, WAKE UP NOW.'"

Chawawa wrote a sketch in which he spliced old Hancock interviews, to make it look like he was interviewing the beleaguered health secretary. This took an hour. Then he looked at Twitter, and realised that people were expecting him to write a song. "I had to abolish the entire sketch."
Chawawa speed-wrote It Was Me (Shaggy Parody), recorded the video in front of the green screen he keeps in his Forest Hill flat, and then ran to a production meeting that he couldn't reschedule, while his collaborator Carlos Rico worked on the graphics and animations. He raced home and uploaded the video around 5pm. Twitter exploded. "I went out that evening," he says, "and people were coming up to me going, 'Mate, I love the Matt Hancock video.' There were literally about 300 people who came up to me and said, 'I just watched you right now, this is so crazy.'"
Chawawa tries to savour these moments. An incorrigible workaholic, when a viral video is successful, he grants himself a night off. "Normally I'm always stressing that I need to put something out," he says, "and thinking about what needs to be next. But when I do a sketch, it's like this 24-hour invincibility thing where it's like, cool, this is the perfect time to actually enjoy my life."
After so many years striving, success feels as good as he'd hoped. "I've lived it a million times in my head," Chawawa says, "which is why I'm not overwhelmed by what's happening. It's just like, cool, finally. It's just the way I imagined it." But what is difficult to cope with is his punishing work schedule. In addition to his comedy videos and Race Around Britain, Chawawa is a co-host on Channel 4 sketch show Complaints Welcome, and has represented brands including Paco Rabanne and Adidas. (To his chagrin, Chawawa's followers thought the Paco Rabanne ad was a spoof. "That was me trying to be sexy," he sighs, "and everyone goes, 'great joke Munya.'")
I'm trying to be one of the good guys… I want to be a superhero
He regularly clocks 18-hour work days and estimates he's had four days off in the last three months, including weekends. "I've discovered being a workaholic isn't the greatest thing in the world," he says, "in terms of prioritising the people who matter." Chawawa lives with his girlfriend, who works in music management, but rarely sees his family as much as he would like. "Last year," he says, "I was in Norwich, seeing my niece for the first time, and then my phone goes and I see they've announced tier 3." Chawawa got a train back to London and stayed up all night, writing a satirical song about the restrictions. "You think," he says, "I can just let this slide, people will forget after a few days, but then I think, this video can change my life, and that's how I approach it."
Right now, Chawawa freely admits, his balance of work-leisure is definitely off. "Everyone says to you, 'You're going to go so far and you've got something special and you're going to be amazing.' But no one considers the sacrifice that involves…. That being said, there are many successful people who've learned to balance both, so they can see their families. I believe I'll arrive at that point when the time is right."
But for now, Chawawa is continually in upward thrust. He'd love a late-night talkshow of his own, in the style of John Oliver or Trevor Noah. "That's a great template for me," he says. And – unexpectedly – he wants to try acting. "I would love to be in a Marvel film," Chawawa says. I assume he wants to be a comic character – perhaps a mugging villain – but he swiftly corrects me. "No way!" he exclaims. "I'm trying to be one of the good guys… I want to be a superhero."
It's an unexpected ambition from a wisecracking, drill-rapping comedian. But then again, he has already shown himself to be capable of achieving his goals. I bid goodbye to Chawawa, who pulls on his puffer jacket and heads out into the chill – even though it's a Friday night, he has more work planned for this evening. The devil works hard, but for the foreseeable future, it seems, Munya will work harder.

Mauricio Pochettino's influence on England's World Cup squad can't be overlooked
By Nico Morales Jun 18, 2018 13
As Italy, Spain, and Germany showed on their way to winning the last three World Cups, a squad of players who are largely familiar with a specific style of play—perhaps because the core of each was drawn from a particular club with a clear identity—provides a massive advantage at the World Cup.
And yet, between the politics of club football and a natural desire to fill the plane with the 23 best players a nation has to offer, choosing system over individual quality isn't always easy.
Germany and Spain will likely benefit from their club cohesion yet again. But there is another team that may find an advantage here as well: England.
The English in particular have a proud history of selecting their squad by committee—just ask Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, and every Englishman whose hopes and dreams they dashed by trying to play together in the same midfield.
But this year's England team doesn't seem to have that issue. The squad is filled...


Ron McLeod, past president of HTCIA Atlantic, wants parents to attend the upcoming cyber safety event and offers advice like keeping a post-it note over a computer's webcam incase it's remotely accessed, the webcam will be visibly blocked.
Leading internet security experts are meeting in Halifax and offering parents a free education session on cyber safety and cyber bullying.
"It's especially important for parents of junior high level children to educate themselves because they're being exposed to a lot more vulnerable applications and peer pressure to fit in," says Blair MacLellan, president of HTCIA Atlantic Canada and a member of the RCMP tech crime unit Nova Scotia.
High Technology Crime Investigation Association (HTCIA) is an international organization hosting it's regional conference in Halifax on Sept. 18 and 19 at the Marriott Harbourfront Hotel. The Atlantic Canada Chapter was recognized as International Chapter of the Year earlier this month, partly due to their public outreach and education, says Ron McLeod, past president of HTCIA Atlantic Canada and local internet security specialist.
"The threats that exist online to ourselves and our families are evolving everyday. Our children are living their lives inside an online virtual environment largely devoid of responsible adult influence. And it's "Lord of the Flies" in there all the time," says McLeod.
Clickjacking, SnapChat and details of free info night: Click for the complete story and internet safety tips.
"We're tracking through our platform 500-to-600 posts per day where kids are either saying or showing things of extreme concern or showing very, very poor judgment," says Darren McLeod, VP and Director of Sales at Social LifeRaft.
The free parent and child (12+ years) evening is Sept. 18 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Marriott Harbourfront Hotel, 1919 Upper Water St., Halifax.
Anyone can register for the two day conference, featuring presentations by Symantec, a leading online security company and conference sponsor, along with presentations from other world experts in cyber safety. Information available at www.atlantichtcia.org.
It's one for the calendar, if you've tech-savvy children or children on the cusp of the online world, check out the 2014 HTCIA Atlantic Canada IT Security Conference on Sept. 18 and 19.
As part of the conference, High Technology Crime Investigation Association Atlantic (HTCIA) are offering parents and children age 12 and older, a free information evening on Sept. 18 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Marriott Harbourfront Hotel in Halifax.
Their mandate: to educate families and children about internet security and inform about online vulnerabilities affecting local students, tween and teens.
Conference info and registration available on HTCIA website. No registration necessary for the free parent & child session.
Don't share personal information such as home address, telephone numbers or parent's work address online as cybercriminals can use this information to create a fake profile with your details.
Don't post holiday plans as criminals have been known to track people's movements.
Keep all passwords safe and private, however sharing with parents is a sensible idea and don't use an easy password like a pet's name.
Don't talk to strangers online or offline – Blair MacLellan, President of High Technology Crime Investigation Assoc. (HTCIA) says the online world shouldn't be any different than the real world and wants children to be aware that online strangers aren't always who they say they are. Let parents know if a stranger has tried to connect online.
Make sure mobile phone is pin-protected and download a security app which allows you to remotely wipe any personal data, should your mobile be lost or stolen. MacLellan recommends 'Find my Iphone' for Apple devices and 'Android Lost' for Androids.
Keep security software up-to-date on all devices including mobile phones, tablets and PCs.

Should you consider buying your kid's domain name?
Think of it as an investment in their future, their name, their brand. After an online incident that happened this week, I'm glad I did.
Not everyone will agree. 66% of people polled in this article from 2010, felt it was absurd to reserve their childs Facebook or twitter name. On Twitter it's unlikely they'll ever actually use their real name, so I agree some platforms aren't as protective as others.
The other day I received a comment on my website from my brother-in-law in Ireland. It came from an email with his name built into it, for pig iron, let's say the email was: info@johndoe.ie. I moderated the comment approved, linking it to my website. No harm done.
The next day, my husband who is a Realtor, received a bizarre request through his website, from a potential home buyer. He flagged the name was an alias he remembered a former troubled classmate had used, a classmate prone to distasteful pranks and cranks, more than 20 years ago. The email attached behind the prank inquiry was the same email: info@johndoe.ie. His brother?
Knowing his brother isn't one to email a prank message, we deduced the prankster had bought his brother's domain name: www.johndoe.ie and now had access to the email: info@johndoe.ie. This empowers the prankster to email any of John Doe's friends, business contacts, family members, etc., and engage in a false conversation. It's scary.
If the prankster wants he can also build a free website in John Doe's name.
For as little as $9.99/year, I hasten to imagine my child's domain name in the hands of a bully, former boyfriend or disgruntled school mate. But posting on people's walls and hacking emails is as regular in high school today, as writing on the bathroom wall 20 years ago.
This prankster first targeted my husband's brother many moons ago. He repeatedly prank called John Doe and John Doe reacted, fuelling the bully for continued targeting. This went on for a time before fizzing out — 20 years ago his tools were a series of phone calls and crude drawings.
We now live in Canada, have nothing to do with this person, and yet he felt compelled to comment on my website using my brother-in-laws name and sent my husband a false inquiry. Some people have nothing better to do and cyberspace makes it simple for a bully to target you or your children.
How and when to protect a name?
Little Jane Doe is born and there isn't anything you wouldn't do to protect her.
One way to do this in the online world, where tweens and teens are easily targeted, is reserving www.janedoe.com or www.janedoe.ca.
But I didn't do this when they were born. I did it when they were approaching middle school age and the age where they could be potentially maligned by someone in their peer group. Someone, not old enough to recognize the consequences of online nastiness and skullduggery.
By doing this, you reserve and effectively protect the child from someone; a stranger, a classmate, a potential bully, from getting entire control of their name.
It took less than five minutes to buy the domain names on a site like GoDaddy. I won't use them for anything. If searched, they will remain a blank canvas for the girls to use, when they're older.
While my girls haven't begun to think about the future thumb-print they will leave in cyberspace, I feel secure knowing when the time comes, they'll have some control of how their name appears in a search engine.
For more advice regarding online safety for kids, send me an email.
Reserving your child's domain name couldn't be easier.
It can protect them in years ahead, as they navigate the murky cyberspace of their tween and teen years.
Find a domain registrar you trust. We like GoDaddy. But there's NameCheap and Name.com or domainmonster, to name a few.
Most registrars will ask if you're interested in several add-ons. They're not necessary if you're simply reserving the name for future.
Canadian? I'd recommend .com and .ca. They're the most commonly searched, but the value is really in the .com's. Some registrars offer a discount for multi-name buys.
Purchase before middle school: To protect our children against potential peer bullying, we opted to reserve their names when they were about 11-years-old. This is generally the age they're regularly using internet and it pre-dates middle school and high school, where tech-savvy kids have the means and know-how to effectively manipulate an online identity.
Leave the domain blank. Don't use your child's name to post pictures and personal information. It's potentially harmful and can open children to online predators. Keep it private = Keep it safe.
This advice comes from me, a tech-savvy mom interested in protecting her kids online and sharing advice with parents, to help us all stay one step ahead. Take the advice or leave it. But stay safe!
Who's behind your kids Apps and shaping their charming faces?
My 11-year-old daughter asked me for some new apps today.
Thinking I'd be clever, I asked her to write down the names of the apps she has heard about from her friends and the names of the app developers. I told her I'd google the developers to see what kind of companies they were, what they were developing and try and navigate the murky waters of app developers who are targeting young children and tweens. I'm curious, what's their motivation?
Have you ever wondered what motivates a company to create a slew of FREE apps directed to young girls, encouraging them to take their picture, change their faces, modify their voices and share their creations?
Do app developers then have access to their customers photos?
How much information can be gleaned from the activity of children on the apps? Emails? Locations?
Photo Wonder by Developer: Beijing Baidu Netcome Science & Technology Co., Ltd.
I love this app so much! It is not only cute but very useful! I recommend it to anyone who loves taking selfies!
But don't worry parents — it's for ages 4+.
But just because a four year old can use this app, is it 'safe' to teach young children that re-shaping and slimming is better? If the app then encourages users to share enhanced photographs of themselves, is that a safe online practice?
I went to the Apple website to see how new app developers were regulated and what criteria did they need to meet to be able to give a 4+ guideline. I'm still looking.
Parental App Review sites like Common Sense Media offer advice and age appropriate guidelines to parents, but it's not comprehensive and Photo Wonder didn't appear at the time this was published. And it's not always what the app does, but tather, who the app exposes our children too.
And perhaps I'm over-thinking this and all of these FREE Princess Apps, Make-up Salon Apps, Voice Changers, etc. are harmless. The question is, who can tell us and who can we trust?
Little does she know, it's not only unfair, it's a mine field.
What's my motivation? I studied Journalism at University of King's College in Halifax, NS and spent several years working in kids television at YTV, where I promoted, marketed and adhered to CRTC's guidelines and regulations for 'speaking' to children through media. The rules there are clear, as are parents expectations. I'm simply trying to examine the disconnect that's taking place in our children's world online.

We wish you the merriest Christmas and the happiest New Year.
We hope that you found your desired socks and your desired books under the Christmas tree this year. If you were lucky enough, add a comment and share the title of the book that delighted you the most with the others. If it's not the case, no worries, remember, it's the thought that counts... You can also add a comment with the most disappointing book you got this Xmas. If you didn't get any books at all, maybe it's time you reconsider your behavior towards your friends and family.. Or just go out and buy one yourself, who says you can't get a gift for yourself?
It's great what you guys have accomplished with the website in the past few months.
Now I just have to make time for a return trip to Europe!
Have a great time on your travels, and don't forget to pick up some bookstore souvenirs. I recently wrote about books I bought while traveling, including one purchased at Massolit :) Be sure to have one of their yummy chocolate chips!

Q: Return the datatype of a property based on entity name and property name I am trying to retrieve the data type of a property based on the name of an entity and name of a property; both of which are declared as a string.
Take the following entity for example
public class Client
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Phone { get; set; }
}

From "Client" and "Phone" I would like "string" to be returned.

A: It can be done like so:
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo nameProp = typeof(Client).GetProperty("Name");
Type nameType = nameProp.PropertyType; // nameType  will be System.String

If you don't know the exact type then use:
var type = Type.GetType("Namespace.ClassName, Assembly");

A: For Type.GetType, we need to pass the full name, if you prefer shortname like Client instead of Namespace.Client, you could try code below to retrive the types from assembly.
Assembly assembly  = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var type = assembly.GetTypes().ToList().FirstOrDefault(t => t.Name == "Client");
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo nameProp = type.GetProperty("Name");
string typeName = nameProp.PropertyType.Name; // nameType  will be System.String

Kumbh Mela is a mass Hindu pilgrimage in which Hindus gather to bathe in a sacred river. It is held every third year at one of the four holy places by rotation: Haridwar, Allahabad, Nasik and Ujjain.
Kumbha means «pitcher» and mela means «fair» in Sanskrit. The pilgrimage is held for about one and a half months at each of these four places, where it is believed in Hinduism that drops of nectar fell from the kumbha carried by gods after the sea was churned. The festival is considered as the world's largest congregation of religious pilgrims. Here are some pictures I took in February 2010 in Haridwar, Uttarakhand.

IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE, detail
In 1935 writer Sinclair Lewis published a novel, It Can't Happen Here, which is a story about the fragility of the American democracy and a depiction of the rise of a United States dictator who curtails individual freedom. In October of 2021, a Texas state lawmaker created a list of 850 books he believes should be banned in schools throughout Texas. He has stated that the books on his list "might make students feel discomfort, guilt, anguish or any other form of psychological distress because of their race or sex". Many of the books he wants to ban focus on transgender identity, Native American history, teen sexuality, history of slavery, queer youth, and critical race theory. This installation includes video of local librarians reading the titles of all of the 850 proposed banned books as well as actual books that have a long-standing history of being banned or challenged, particularly in public and school libraries across the United States. The ceramic figurines of book reading children, parents and grandparents stand in contrast to increasing efforts to curtail individual freedoms.


Our research goal is to study the control of gene expression in microalgae, in order to improve the productivity of these organisms. Microalgae produce valuable molecules ranging from therapeutic proteins to biofuels. Microalgae are unique because they have the ability of photosynthesis with the high yields of microbial cultivation, making them valuable organisms for economical, industrial-scale production processes. Our current research activities involve in three areas: (i) control of gene expression in cyanobacteria (blue green algae); (ii) biodegradation of organophosphate pesticides using recombinant cyanobacteria and (iii) improvement of algal- biofuel productivity via genetic engineering.
The goal of our group is to achieve sustainable agriculture by improving the quality and quality of crops production through different approaches. Several specific research projects are listed below: Genome project of cassava and rubber tree .These project aim to develop markers and to construct genetic and QTL map in order to be used in marker assisted selection for plant breeding Positional cloning of gene underlying economical importance traits in cassava (proposal submitted).
My research interests include the development of new synthetic methods and their application in synthesis of bioactive natural products, particularly in the areas of peptide chemistry and catalysis. In collaboration with Prof. JitladdaSakdapipanich, our focus is also on natural rubber research and studies of non-rubber particles to increase their potential uses and value.
Our Protein Structure and Proteomics (PSP) Laboratory has a long interest in research to elucidate structural conformation and functional mechanism of insect larvicidal proteins derived from Bacillus thruringiensis. We have applied spectroscopic and biophysical techniques to trace conformational transition and interaction of the mosquitocidal Cry4Ba and Cyt2Aa proteins. Mutant proteins were then designed and constructed for stability and activity enhancement.
The current goals of our research group are to produce frozen Brahman embryos derived from Ovum Pick-Up (OPU) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques. The frozen embryos are thawed and immediately transferred into the synchronized recipients. Embryo transfer (ET) is undertaken under field conditions in the northeastern region of Thailand.
Shrimp industry makes tremendous impact on Thailand's export value each year. Despite its economic significance, shrimp farming has been struggling with several problems that remain to be solved. Therefore, the primary goal of our research group is to develop effective strategies that can help enhance shrimp production yield by emphasizing on disease and reproduction problems that are foremost impediment to shrimp aquaculture development. Recent studies by our group have provided strong evidence that dsRNA can mediate protection against shrimp viruses through RNA interference. Currently we are focusing on several aspects to further developing this approach that will make it more practical for protecting farmed shrimps from the virus.


Six years ago I wrote, "Firewalls need to go away. I'm just saying what we all already know. Firewalls have always been problematic, and today there is almost no reason to have one." Firewalls were—and still are—no longer effective against modern attacks.
Firewalls were best at stopping unauthorized remote connections to listening services, which could then be buffer overflowed to take complete control of the computer. This was a major reason why firewalls were invented. Faulty services used to be so popular they were considered the norm. Malware programs like MS-Blaster and the SQL-based Slammerworm exploited the world in minutes using them.

Eric Dickerson Calls Out Jeff Fisher for Taking Credit for Rams' Success
Eric Dickerson Calls Out Jeff Fisher Rams Sucked When He Left!
12/28/2017 12:45 AM PT
JUST AN AVERAGE FISHER
Eric Dickerson says if Jeff Fisher thinks he left the Rams in good shape when he was fired he's DEAD WRONG ... telling TMZ Sports the team was in shambles when Fisher exited Hollywood.
Fisher has recently done a little self-back-patting over the Rams' current success, saying in a recent interview he feels at least partly responsible for the team's unbelievable turnaround.
ED thinks this is total BS -- and told us as much during the So. Cal Rams Booster Club event at Rocco's Tavern in Studio City ... essentially explaining why Fisher needs a reality check.
"Do I think he left the team in a good spot,? No I do not. Personally I don't. I don't think he helped Jared Goff at all, I don't think he helped Todd Gurley at all. I don't think he helped the offense at all."
Instead, Dickerson says the credit should go to new head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead.
Full disclosure here, Dickerson and Fisher weren't exactly buddies. As a matter of fact, Eric accused Fisher of banning him from the sidelines last year.
Doesn't seem like he's having that kinda beef with the current regime.

Michael Novak: 1933-2017
Acton Institute President Rev. Robert A. Sirico reflects on the passing of his friend and mentor Michael Novak, who through his writings influenced scores of scholars and theologians to recognize the potential of the market economy and the centrality of the dignity of the human person.
Rev. Robert A. Sirico received his Master of Divinity degree from the Catholic University of America following undergraduate study at the University of Southern California and the University of London. During his studies and early ministry, he experienced a growing concern over the lack of training religious studies students receive in fundamental economic principles, leaving them poorly equipped to understand and address today's social problems. As a result of these concerns, Fr. Sirico co-founded the Acton Institute with Kris Alan Mauren in 1990. As president of the Acton Institute, Fr...

In the aftermath of Charlottesville's antifa vs. alt-right riots, the mainstream media is, predictably, using the violence to feed the political narrative that all Donald Trump supporters are tacit defenders of white supremacy and racism. While the narrative is nothing new, it seems to have picked up steam due to the murder of a woman in the protest crowd by a sociopath from Ohio. Shamefully, the MSM exploited the murder to call into question the ACLU-defended First Amendment rights to freedom of speech — including ugly speech.
One of the Left's favorite hobby horses is calling for the limiting of free speech it finds offensive, and leftists would love to have the power to silence speech they disagree with by labeling it "hate speech." The trouble is the Constitution does not recognize this limit to Americans' right to free speech. Still, that doesn't stop leftists from claiming it does. A recent example emerges from an MSNBC interview of Patrisse Cullors, one of the founders of Black Lives Matter — which, one might argue, is a black supremacist group.
Cullors was asked to explain the distinction between the BLM protesters and the white supremacist protesters who were clashing in Charlottesville. Cullors responds by claiming that BLM's message is about seeking equality while the white supremacists' is "hate speech." Not a surprising response, but she then flat-out lies, stating — without any pushback from the MSNBC host — that "hate speech" is not protected by the First Amendment. The truth is that "hate speech" is protected, because for the U.S. Constitution that caveat simply does not exist. Time and again the Supreme Court has ruled broadly in favor of Americans' right to free speech. Just because one person or group may find certain speech to be offensive and reprehensible, they do not have the right to call for the government to silence someone else. This is the entire essence of the freedom of speech.

I Me Mine

At the vigil for George
Harrison at the British Embassy on Friday night, the crowd was small and polite, mostly aging boomers and their kids. Many brought candles and flowers wrapped in tinfoil (but no poems), depositing them in front of a photo of Harrison—one that made him look more than a bit like the Marlboro Man, with lots of denim and no sitar. Embassy lackeys huddled behind the gates in bemusement, talking about soccer. Those gathered shifted uncomfortably in their old clothes—a satin jacket with "Beatles" on the back, a "Magical Mystery Tour" T-shirt. A moment of silence ensued, and a DJ from Oldies 100 spun "Yesterday" for the second time. (Ironically, it's a McCartney song that Harrison didn't even play on.) The vigil over, 25 or so fans started for their cars. A fan named Julio broke the silence and started to talk. He said that he was there for George, not to hear another round of "Yesterday." Still dressed in an "Office Manager" uniform, Julio said that he loved Harrison and considered him a friend. He looked up at the sky and waved: "Hey there, George. Miss you. Take care." A woman fan started in tentatively. She said that she had had behind-the-stage seats at a Beatles show in Japan. Harrison was the only moptop who turned around to play to her. Others chimed in with their first Beatles shows. Another fan took a swig from his plastic-bottle flask, closed his eyes for a second, and observed that he'd been born on Nov. 4, 1963—the day the Beatles played their famous concert at the Royal Albert Hall. These weren't DJs or professional Beatles scholars. They were just sad voices recalling a lead guitarist who was never shy enough not to deliver a great song. All those years ago. —Jason Cherkis


NAYPYIDAW - Disparate skills standards in Myanmar are depressing employment and wages while posing a hurdle for foreign investors.
To tackle that, its government plans to standardise skills certification, and has roped two Singapore organisations into its effort.
Yesterday, Myanmar's ministry of labour signed a memorandum of understanding with Singapore Polytechnic and Temasek Foundation to train the country's senior policymakers to draw up a workforce development system.
Although this programme is the polytechnic's first foray into Myanmar, it builds on previous capacity building programmes that the Singapore Government has run in Myanmar for years.
Hobbled by an ailing education system, Myanmar's workforce receives technical training from private firms as well as 200 private and government-run industry training centres. But workers are trained according to a variety of local and overseas benchmarks and there are no mandatory standards for technical skills such as welding or electrical work, for example.
'It does affect wages and it does affect employment,' said Myanmar Deputy Labour Minister Myint Thein, through a translator on the sidelines of the signing ceremony in Naypyidaw yesterday.
Under this $212,000 programme, mostly funded by Temasek Foundation, the polytechnic will conduct two workshops later this month and in September for 30 of Myanmar's senior policymakers.
The workshops will share Singapore's experience in developing its vocational and technical training system, and get Myanmar officials to identify their needs and the specific standards they want to achieve in their workforce.
Myanmar's government has already tabled a Bill in Parliament to raise skills development and encourage cooperation between the government and the private sector on this aspect.
Mr Myint Thein added that his ministry wants to impose mandatory skills standards in the future, and also set up a Singapore-style workforce development fund to support training. Once foreign direct investment starts flowing in, 'we need quality assurance for labour mobility in the country and within the region', he said.
Local entrepreneurs such as Mr Soe Aung Kyaw were glad for such a move.
The director of a private training centre in Yangon said that a unified skills benchmark would make it easier for local workers to tap the growing job openings created through foreign investment, including in its substantial oil and gas sector. It will also help Myanmar nationals to land more jobs in the region.
Raising employment in South- east Asia's poorest country is a key objective that has been voiced by both the Myanmar government as well as opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Temasek Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Singapore's government investment firm Temasek Holdings. Together with Singapore Polytechnic, the foundation has embarked on similar projects in Vietnam, Mongolia, Indonesia and Thailand.

Everything I Want To Say To The Girl I Don't Want A Long-Term Relationship With
by Adam Shadows
I knew I couldn't be long-term with you because you needed me more than I need you.
I knew I couldn't be long-term with you because you ordered the duck.
I knew I couldn't be long-term with you because you hated my best friend, because you loved Drake, because you would have made me go broke.
I knew I couldn't be long-term with you because your dad didn't like me, because we were in each other's pants that first night in the back of the cab, because you need things clean and I need them chaotic.
I knew because I didn't want to be long-term.
Because it's still my life, and I'm not willing to share it with anyone yet, and because I choose to consider the aloneness freedom and latitude, not loneliness.
It's still my life, and I'm not willing to share it with anyone yet.
Without a responsibility to anyone but myself, I can achieve what I want or fail at what I want to achieve, either way, without punishment.
This is the most important thing to me: that I never become the guy blaming a woman for his life passing him by.
There are things I need to achieve now, or at least soon. The types of things I need to figure out are things I want for myself — things people say they're going to do and never get around to.
People say life gets in the way and all that, but it always seems like "life" is code for "somebody else," until that snowballs into more somebody elses, and before you know it, you're in a golf shirt somewhere, millions of miles from your dreams.
Henry David Thoreau said something to the effect of how it's foolish to pine for the company of far-off companions because however close together your souls seem, your bodies would never be further apart.
That's kind of how I feel about the person I do end up with, whoever she may be. Because you're not her.
Which is why what feels like the noblest thing to do right now, the fairest thing for myself and everyone else, is to de-clutter my life, to streamline it. This happy grace period they call youth is almost over, and the consequences they talk about are about to start kicking in.
They don't stop once they start, and I plan on milking every minute of this grace period that I can.
This happy grace period they call youth is almost over, and the consequences are about to kick in.
I knew I couldn't be long-term with you because I'm spoiled and you're spoiled, because you live three trains away, because you work nights, because you don't eat carbs, read Bukowski or care that rhinoceroses are going extinct.
Because you think money equates to intelligence. Because you don't want me, you want anyone, for Snapchat, for Instagram. You want to inspire envy – and because so do I.
Because of that time at the bowling alley when you flirted with seven men in an hour in front of my friends. Because the next night, I flirted with seven women and fucked the eighth.
Because you like snow. Because you are timid. Because you believe in God and not in baseball.
Because I can't even commit to a tattoo, because my aunts and uncles who married at our age are now miserable, because my parents are racist and I still love them and couldn't bring you around. Because you want to go to Disney instead of to Bali, to Caracas and to Nepal.
Because the things that matter to me don't matter to you, because the things that matter to you don't matter to me and because I can't just change that. Because I'm too old to be easily won over.
Because there are 5,000 other women I could feel this way about if I'd met them.
There are 5,000 other women I could feel this way about if I'd met them.
Sure, we laughed.
Sure, we connected.
Sure, we went to a hockey game and stole candy bars from the corner deli and drank on a roof while holding each other.
But I knew I couldn't be long-term with you because you never enjoyed your loneliness, you never wore it like a scar you were unwilling to hide. Because you never woke up on a bench in Washington Square Park with the sun in your face, wondering how you're alive.
Because when I finally left you, I felt nothing driving my feet back to you. There was no urgency, no longing.
Because each time I saw you, I liked you less and less until you became something obligated, something scheduled, a dentist appointment.
But I knew I couldn't be long-term with you because I have it in my head that I need to get somewhere, that none of this matters compared to what's ahead.
Because I've tried it already and just can't convince myself anymore that anyone else is more important than the rest of the world. My world. Whatever that may end up being.
Like everyone else, I was taught finding another person would be necessary to fill some other part of me, some part that was lacking, and that afterwards, I'd be replenished. Without that, I'd never be whole.
And it does feel as if something is missing – it's been that way since I was eight – though I'm not sure if it's our parents who put that thought in our heads, or our teachers, or the movies or if it's just part of being human. But it's certainly there.
It just doesn't seem like anything fills it for more than a few hours or days. The Chainsmokers fill it, for a time. Beer fills it, for a time. You filled it, for a time — same as the woman before you and the one after.
Eventually, I liked you less and less. Every minute, my time with you deteriorated. I wondered why this happened with you and the woman before you and the woman after.
Then, I realized even too much Chainsmokers is too much, and too much beer makes you hurl, and it became clear you didn't fill a part of me.
That is just another lie we need to unlearn. People fill schedules — they fill time — and that just isn't the same. The emptiness was there, filling occasionally and constantly emptying, whether you stayed or went.
People fill schedules — they fill time — and that just isn't the same.
But if money can't fill it, beer doesn't fill it and you didn't fill it, if it was still there with you lying next to me, twirling your hair and doing nothing wrong, then maybe the emptiness isn't going away. Maybe it isn't supposed to. Maybe it's just natural.
Or maybe it's just me.
I knew I could never be long-term with you when I realized that. I've been trying to figure all these things out on my own for so long. I'm so close, but I need to get there by myself. Because it's still my life, and it's still yours.
That's how I knew I could never be in a long-term relationship with you.
And by you, I mean all of you.

Comment: A lovely dram that will please lovers of fresh, fruity whiskies.
I bought this for my father, who has been a whisky drinker his whole life. From the first sip, he could tell that this was something special – it's incredibly smooth, and the taste is absolutely wonderful.
This is by far one my favourite whiskies. It has an excellent smoothness to it, fruit and honey on the nose and palate. Delicious.
Tried this for first time tonight, I'm very impressed. Smooth but not too sweet.
Definitely one of the most smooth and easy to drink malts I've ever tried. Fruit and clear honey straight away on the palate. The warm finish with honey notes is outstanding.
I do like a single malt but this is by far the best I've tried. Its smooth and sweet with a nose of apple and pear and a bit of caramel, with a warm finish and a mild spice on the tongue. Lovely.
Smooth and fruity. Good value for money.
Straightforward and easy drinking whisky. Smooth with hints of fruit. Good value for money.
Been drinking this for years – found it to be the best-tasting Scotch I have had.
I got this from my kids for Father's Day (thanks kids). I buy lots of Scotch for under 100$ and this is MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE! It's incredibly smooth with a fruity hint and just a great Scotch. You've really gotta try this one if you haven't.
Better than many of tried that are hundreds and thousands more per bottle!
Very fruity. Not as smooth as I expected, but a good crisp whisky. Enjoyed at origin in Scotland!
Received as a gift and definitely one of my favorites. Very smooth and a pleasure to enjoy.
Sweet fruity taste with a bit spicy finish. At this price, can't complain.
