As the regular season winds down, the Atlantic 10 conference hierarchy is becoming clearer while March approaches. There is separation between teams that are locks for the big dance, bubble teams and the bottom feeders who are playing for pride.
VCU is in second place in the A-10 and still has a slim shot at the regular season title. The Rams have not won a regular season championship in five seasons under head coach Shaka Smart. It will be a difficult task, and the Rams will need considerable help from several conference foes if they are to contend for the A-10 title.
In addition to competing for the regular season crown, teams are battling for seeding in the conference tournament, which will take place in Brooklyn, N.Y. between March 12-16. The top four teams in the standings receive a first-round bye, meaning they only have to win three games to take home the trophy and the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
Here is a look at how the top of the league looks heading down the stretch:
(10-0, 23-2)
The Billikens have established themselves as a clear favorite in the A-10 as they have yet to lose a game in conference play. Riding a 17-game win streak, Saint Louis is ranked No. 12 in the country, with its only losses coming against No. 4 Wichita State University and No. 21 University of Wisconsin. The defending conference champion, Saint Louis features five starting seniors and has the poise and experience to win close games. Senior forward Dwayne Evans (14.5 PPG) and senior guard Jordair Jett (13.2) lead the way for the Billikens offensively. On defense, SLU only allows 58.8 points per game, which is the eighth-best average in the nation. With Saturday's loss at Saint Louis, the Rams will need to defend their home court against the Billikens on March 1 to have any shot at the regular season A-10 crown.
VCU (8-3, 20-6)
The Rams are in the midst of their toughest stretch of the season. The stint started with a game at Saint Joseph's University on Saturday, Feb. 8 and was followed by a home contest against George Washington University on Feb. 12. VCU dropped two of those three conference matchups, and will need to rebound this coming Friday at the University of Massachusetts before traveling to Fordham University in late February and hosting the Billikens on March 1.
The Rams were ranked as high as No. 10 in November, but lost two of three games in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off Tournament to fall from the top-25. VCU has recovered since, reeling off 10 games in an 11-game span from late December to early February, but the Rams will likely need to win out if they have any hopes of claiming the regular season title.
George Washington University (7-4, 19-6)
The Colonials showed what a dangerous team they can be in the first meeting between VCU in the nation's capital. However, since that game, their second leading scorer Kethan Savage fractured his foot. His prognosis was a six-eight week recovery period when he got injured in late January. GW looked nothing like the team that dominated VCU the recent rematch at the Siegel Center. The Rams led by as many as 21 and cruised to a 17-point win. The Colonials will have to rely on a pair of transfers, Maurice Creek (Indiana University) and Isaiah Armwood (Villanova University) to get an NCAA bid. Creek and Armwood are GW's second and third-leading scorers, respectively.
Impressive Colonial victories includ No. 18 Creighton University in December and GW is near the top of a tough A-10 conference, which weighs in their favor as they seek an at-large tournament bid into the big dance.
(7-3, 17-7)
Saint Joe's is somewhat of a surprising contender in the A-10 one season after finishing ninth in the conference. The Hawks suffered losses to inter-city rivals Temple University and Villanova before conference play started, but have been solid in A-10 play thus far. Senior guard Langston Galloway leads head coach Phil Martelli's team with 16.6 PPG. He is part of a strong backcourt that only turned the ball over 12 times against VCU, which leads the nation with nearly 19 takeaways per contest. The Hawks lack an impressive non-conference win, so they need to continue to succeed against a stacked A-10 conference in order to be strongly considered for an at-large bid come March.
The guard duo of Cedrick Lindsey and Kendall Anthony combined for 52 of Richmond's 70 points in the game against VCU in early February. However, Lindsay is now out for the season with a knee injury. This is a huge blow for the Spiders, whose role players must step up if Richmond has any chance to stay afloat the top of a competitive conference. Richmond needs some big wins in the final weeks of the regular season to feel good about its NCAA tournament chances as opposing teams will undoubtedly direct much of their defensive attention around Anthony down the stretch.
University of Massachusetts (7-4, 20-5)
The Minutemen had a tremendous 16-1 start to their season and were ranked as highly as No. 13 in the Associated Press poll in the season's opening months. However, U.Mass. has lost four of its last eight games and has fallen outside the top-25. Despite this tough stretch, they are still expected to make the NCAA tournament because of an impressive top-20 RPI standing. The Minutemen are led by A-10 player of the year candidate Chaz Williams, who averages 15.7 points and 7.4 assists per game.

The high scoring Demons finally slowed down a little bit in their clash with the defending premiers, but they were still comfortable winners. For the second week in a row they were helped by young Darren Cuthbertson who beat four opponents, including Denis Banks twice, on route to his second straight seven goal haul and also managed to pull in a "mark of the day" screamer.
Four of Cuthbertson's goals came in the second quarter, keeping Melbourne within two points at half time. Collingwood's first quarter inaccuracy hurt them, when a wind sprung up in the third quarter it favoured the Demons and they kicked five goals to one.
First year player Kevin Dyson once again dominated the midfield and debutant Andrew Ford took to the task of tagging Tony Shaw with aplomb. Leigh Matthews was forced to switch Shaw into the role of tagger himself in the second half to try and curb the influence of Todd Viney but he had little success.
Best were T. Viney, B. Lovett and Cuthbertson.
John Northey praised his players by saying: "They're putting a lot more thought into their game than they previously did."

FAQ

NAME

go_mem - launches a coroutine

SYNOPSIS

#include <libdill.h>

int go_mem(
    expression,
    void* mem,
    size_t memlen);

DESCRIPTION

This construct launches a coroutine on a user-supplied stack. The stack has no guard page and stack overflow will result in overwriting memory.

expression: Expression to evaluate as a coroutine.

mem: Buffer to hold the coroutine's stack. The buffer doesn't have to be aligned. The function will take care of properly aligning the stack itself.

memlen: Size of the mem buffer.

The coroutine is executed concurrently, and its lifetime may exceed the lifetime of the caller coroutine. The return value of the coroutine, if any, is discarded and cannot be retrieved by the caller.

Any function to be invoked as a coroutine must be declared with the coroutine specifier.

Use hclose to cancel the coroutine. When the coroutine is canceled all the blocking calls within the coroutine will start failing with ECANCELED error.

WARNING: Coroutines will most likely work even without the coroutine specifier. However, they may fail in random non-deterministic ways, depending on the code in question and the particular combination of compiler and optimization level. Additionally, arguments to a coroutine must not be function calls. If they are, the program may fail non-deterministically. If you need to pass a result of a computation to a coroutine, do the computation first, and then pass the result as an argument. Instead of:

go(bar(foo(a)));

Do this:

int a = foo();
go(bar(a));

RETURN VALUE

In case of success the function returns handle of a bundle containing the new coroutine. In case of error it returns -1 and sets errno to one of the values below.

For details on coroutine bundles see bundle function.

ERRORS

ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled.

EMFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors in the process are already open.

ENFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors in the system are already open.

ENOMEM: Not enough memory.

EXAMPLE

coroutine void add(int a, int b) {
    printf("%d+%d=%d\n", a, b, a + b);
}

...
char mem[16384];
int h = go_mem(add(1, 2), mem, sizeof(mem));

I am a member of the Jupyter Steering Council and a senior software engineer at Bloomberg working on IPython and Jupyter related open source stuff. I'm also an instructor for Software Carpentry.
Previously I was at Disqus working on backend and data engineering stuff. Before that, I was a code monkey at the Brain Imaging Center at UC Berkeley, working on IPython and also teaching at UC Berkeley Python bootcamps. Before that, I was a grad student (PhD ABD) in the Vision Science program at UC Berkeley. and a member of Bruno Olshausen's lab at the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience. I graduated in Fall 2005 from UC Davis with a degree in Computer Science.
You can read more about my scientific interests on the Research page.
I was born and raised in Moscow, moved to the US with my family at age 10, and have lived all around... the SF Bay Area ever since (Tiburon, Novato, Redwood City, Mountain View, Davis, Berkeley, and Albany, in that order).
Though my legal american first name is Paul , it is actually just the english version of my legal russian first name Павел , which is romanized as Pavel and pronounced PAH-vel. Some of my college friends know me as Pavel, because my livejournal username was pavelthegeek and I introduced myself as Pavel and spoke with a faked thick russian accent when we met. It also made it easier to disambiguate me from my english namesakes. Additionally, those familiar with Russian often forgo the formal Павел in favor of the diminutive Паша ( Pasha , pronounced PAH-sha) and its variants.
My last name, Ivanov, is pronounced ee-va-NOFF, with stress/emphasis on the last syllable. It's a common mistake for english speakers to pronounce Iv- as the english words 'eye' or 'ivy', instead of the more appropriate 'eve'. Remembering that 'EyE' is spelled with an E , you can catch yourself from making the mistake. This applies equally well to the russian name Иван ( Ivan , as in The Terrible, or Denisovich, or Drago, etc), which actually sounds almost like Yvonne .
I don't have a middle name, so my initials are just pi, which makes my preferred uid the same as the mathematical constant. I usually sign letters and postcards with π (the Greek symbol) ) so it's fair game to call me that, too (at work, most people in the office call me "pi").
Here's my resume. I have a blog which I call my journal. It doesn't get updated as often as I'd like. I do post on twitter with some regularity, though. Here's a mirror of my old site.

Not My Type: Rhiannon Ch. 07
Thank you so much for waiting for this chapter. Once you read through it, you'll understand it wasn't an easy one to write. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you again for all the wonderful feedback. You keep me writing. All the best ~ firstkiss
Adam and I laughed all the way back to the cottage. We told each other flirty little 'what-if' scenarios about how things might have been if he'd picked me up in the bar that night instead of Lilly. Being silly and casual and flirtatious again was such a relief. I'd forgotten how that side of me felt. And knowing we didn't mean a damn word of it, made me feel normal for a moment. Everything was simple again. I didn't know how to thank Adam for that.
We paused on the front porch. Five Tanner redheads bobbed around inside the windowed front room. The conversation looked so heated, neither Adam nor I wanted to intrude.
"What do you say we go get dinner started?" Adam muttered out of the corner of his handsome mouth. "We can sneak in the back door."
I opened my mouth to agree, but when Joe's eyes met mine through the glass, I couldn't speak. He looked so lost, so hurt. It was the first time I'd seen that expression on his face. Knowing I was the cause of it made my chest ache. I'd been so selfishly wrapped up in my own problems that I'd forgotten Joe had quite a few of his own.
Adam watched the silent exchange between me and Joe with a knowing smile. "Never mind," he whispered. He reached for the door and held it open for me. "Into the fray then."
There were empty beer bottles scattered around the table. Chuck and Matt's faces were too composed while Violet and Lilly looked like they had been crying. The bottom fell out of my stomach as I looked around the room. Something wasn't right.
I instinctively moved to the armchair where Joe sat and perched myself on the arm. I didn't know why, but I needed to be near him. His steady presence had always been calming. Strange how not too long ago, Lilly was the one in the room who I would have turned to. I wondered if she sensed the shift in allegiances.
"We've missed something big, haven't we?" Adam asked as he took his place beside Lilly.
"What's going on?" I inquired, my voice thick. My heart rate jumped as five pairs of Tanner-blue eyes trained on me.
Lilly spoke first.
"I know that maybe this doesn't mean as much to you as it does to us, but Dad's decided not to sell Joe the farm, he's going to put it on the market instead."
Joe went rigid and held his breath. He probably wasn't even aware he was doing it, but the tension radiated off of him. I wanted to reach down and touch him, but I didn't know how he'd react. Instead, I just curled my fingers tightly together and tried to process what Lilly had said.
"But it was agreed, the farm is Joe's. It's what he's always wanted, what you've all always wanted," I said slowly.
Adam shot me a significant look over the auburn heads
"Oh my God," I whispered as realization came crashing down on me. "This is because of me. He's not going to sell to you because of me?"
Joe didn't look at me. He just clenched his hands on his lap and stared at the floor.
"What did they say exactly?"
Chuck's kind blue eyes found mine. "Joe has to make a choice. It's you and the baby or the farm."
I rose to my feet. "What? Are you fucking serious?" My temper crested as my heart twisted in my chest. "They can't do that!"
Adam cleared his throat. "It's their land Rhi, they can do what they want with it."
"So they put it on the market then!" I said loudly. I looked down at Joe, but with his head was bent I only saw the back of his tanned neck. "You can still buy it from them, albeit through different channels."
"I can't," Joe said. He spoke so quietly everyone in the room stopped breathing to better hear him. "I don't have the money Rhi. Dad was going to sell it to me cheap, let me pay slowly over time. What little I had saved up, I spent on this place. I have nothing to give him."
"I'll give you the money," I offered.
Joe raised his head then, his beautiful eyes were hollow. He didn't say anything, but I saw the flicker of hurt pride cross his face. He'd never take my money, even if it was the only option open to him.
"This is insane," I muttered. "How much are we talking about here? Maybe the bank will give you a loan?"
Lilly's voice was soft. "No bank is going to give him the money, Rhi, even if all five of us pitched in for a down payment. There's no collateral. It's too much."
"How much?" I demanded.
Everyone paused. Even Adam looked nervous.
"Nine-hundred-thousand, give-or-take," Matt said gruffly. "They could probably get more if they asked for it. It's the best acreage on the island, easily worth over a million."
I reached for my handbag and keys.
"Where are you going?" Violet asked, panicked.
"To sort this out," I vowed.
I stomped up the porch steps halkalı escort to the little yellow house two at a time. I didn't even knock. Joe's parents were sitting in the kitchen. Mrs. Tanner looked surprised to see me burst into the room. Mr. Tanner's expression flickered, but didn't change.
"This is bullshit!" I shouted.
The grim line of Mr. Tanner's mouth deepened but he remained silent.
"How can you punish him like this!? The farm is all he's ever wanted and you're going to take it away from him? He's worked his ass off for you his entire life! Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
Mrs. Tanner looked as if she wanted to say something, but her husband shook his head and she bit her tongue.
I reached into my handbag and pulled out my cheque-book.
"What do you want for the farm? One million? Two?" I glared over the top of my cheque-book at the both of them. "Is that how much it's going to cost me so the two of you can feel better about yourselves? This isn't his fault and you're punishing him!"
"It isn't about the money Rhiannon," Mrs. Tanner said. "This has been Tanner land for seven generations. Joe has to consider his future and the future of this family. He's always known what is expected of him. We have always expected him to do the right thing."
I folded my arms and stared them down. I cocked an eyebrow. "Don't start giving me the speech about 'what's right', I've heard that enough from Joe lately. Do you really know your son so little that you think he hasn't tried to do that? The first thing he did was ask me to marry him!"
Mrs. Tanner looked shocked. Realization jolted me. Joe must have skipped over that part of his earlier conversation with them.
"You're going to make him choose between me and the farm. Don't you care about him at all?" I knew they'd be upset and shocked but they were such nice, good people. I never would have predicted this kind of reaction. Never. I'd always thought the Tanners were the perfect family, so loving and supportive of each other even if they were old-fashioned. It was difficult for me to admit to myself that they might have flaws and that they weren't the idealized family I always thought they were.
"He's already chosen," Mr. Tanner bit out. He glared up at me with those damn blue eyes and a face so much like Joe's it was scary. It was as if it was Joe staring up at me — Joe twenty-five years from that moment, with a face weathered by countless hours on the back of a tractor, five children, and a world of worries. And looking at Mr. Tanner I knew without being told which option Joe had chosen.
I clutched at the back of the nearest kitchen chair, suddenly dizzy.
"No," I whispered. "He can't do this. The farm is his heart! It's who he is!"
"We know," Mrs. Tanner said quietly.
Paris.
The idea snuck up so silently in the back of my brain it made my knees quake under me. Joe couldn't choose me if I was not around to choose. I could leave and he would have the farm, have what was rightfully his, what he loved most in this world. There was no need for him to play the hero if I disappeared. His parents were forcing him to make a decision which wasn't fair, but two could play at that game. If I took away the second option, they'd have to forgive him and sell him the farm.
I would miss Mrs. Nichol, Lilly and Adele like crazy, but maybe Paris was a place where my child could grow up knowing nothing of the person I had been before I became a mother. The old Rhiannon sat like a ghost over my shoulder. Carefree, unapologetic, and without responsibility. She was a woman I hardly recognized anymore, gone in the aftermath of one night with Joe. Strangely enough, I didn't miss her. I didn't regret her; I just wasn't that person any more.
Joe's parents eyed me warily. I'd always thought they liked me, but I guess all those years of being Lilly's friend didn't translate to my being a suitable mother for their first grandchild. Was it really too much to ask them to accept me? Could I really blame them for having some reservations? No one knew better than I did how wrong of a person for Joe I truly was. Yet it stung to think that Joe's parents, who had always welcomed me into their home as Lilly's friend, couldn't extend their kindness to me as the mother of Joe's child.
All those holidays I'd spent in their kitchen, all those times they'd greeted me at the front door flashed before me. In the past, they made me feel like I was a part of their family but now I knew how they really felt about me. It had all been a lie. They were just being polite—for Lilly's sake—because it was the 'nice' thing to do. The bitter taste of betrayal stalled in the back of my throat.
"If I go away will you promise me the farm will be his?"
Mr. Tanner nodded slowly. A little flicker of emotion, maybe shock, crossed his face, almost as if he couldn't believe I'd just up and leave.
"Fine," taksim escort I agreed. My voice sounded far away and so detached from my brain that the words I heard myself speak didn't seem to come from my own mouth. "I'll leave. Tonight."
I glanced over at Mrs. Tanner who sat so quietly at the end of the table. Her fair face was flushed with some unreadable emotion; whether it was anger or shame I couldn't tell. I wanted to yell at them, rail at them, tell them how selfish they were being, how heartless to deny Joe what he'd always worked to make his own simply because of me. But the words wouldn't come. The urge to scream my fury from the rooftops was nothing compared to my stunned disbelief over what just happened.
Were these the same people whom I'd cared for and respected all these years? I knew the news about the baby would shock them. After all, they'd pictured something else, someone else when they envisioned a wife for Joe and the arrival of their first grandchild. I expected them to be upset but still accepting, the way Lilly was. But I never imagined this. I didn't know what to do.
I could be in Paris by breakfast. Paris, where a mist of rain through the soft glow of the streetlamps at dusk was pure magic. Paris, where the bricks and stones knew of a million love affairs gone wrong. Paris, where maybe I could forget the gentle rasp of work-hardened hands against my skin, the smell of red earth, and Joe's heartbeat against my arm as I fell asleep curled beside him.
I was going to cry. I knew I was and I didn't want to do it there. Not in front of them. But a solid wall of t-shirt clad muscle blocked my exit when I turned to leave.
I looked up slowly. Joe's brilliant blue eyes locked instantly on my own. Every second felt like a million years.
"Where are you goin', darlin'?" he asked in a husky whisper.
"Away Joe. It's better if I do." My chest ached. My throat burned. I wanted to curl up in my bed, hide under the duvet and stop thinking, stop feeling.
Joe shook his bright head. "It's not better. Not for me." He reached for my left hand and held it gently.
"It's me or the farm, isn't it? That shouldn't be much of a choice really," I tried for a light-hearted tone but failed.
Joe didn't reply. Mrs. Tanner started to cry behind me.
"Two days ago you took me out to the field and told me that if I was ever going to love you, I had to love this place too. That's how much you belong here, Joe. How can I ask you to give that up? And what for? For me? It's ridiculous. I'm not worth it."
I tried to picture Joe outside of the rust red fields and rolling green hills but nothing came. How could I ever measure up to generations of family tradition, to the strong, constant land he loved more than anything?
"If you go darlin', I don't wanna be here. I won't love it anymore. Not without you, not without her." He touched my abdomen lightly. "I've put everything I had into this farm, everything I am, so that some day I could turn around and share it with my wife and children. What good's it gonna be to me without you?"
I just couldn't reconcile myself to the image of me as a farmwife, not the sort that Joe had grown up around anyway. One glance at his mother confirmed that. She was everything a farmer needed in a spouse: patient and kind, constant through all hardships, hardworking and self-sacrificing. Plus she baked the best damn chocolate chip cookies on the planet. I couldn't even warm canned soup without setting off the smoke detector.
"There'll be another wife Joe, another baby. Someone better suited to you and to this place," I said, hating the words even as I spoke them. How could I be jealous of a hypothetical woman and her hypothetical offspring?
Joe shook his head. "You're it for me, Rhiannon. There won't be anyone else." His grip tightened on my hand.
"I have to go. Don't you see that I have to? I can't come between you and your family, you and the farm." My voice was thick with the tears I refused to shed.
"Then I'll come with you." Joe said.
"And do what, Joe?" I just could not imagine Joe in a suit and tie, working a nine-to-five office job.
"It doesn't matter. I'll save up and we'll buy land somewhere else. A farm in Ontario, Alberta, China, I don't care!"
He sounded so sincere and determined that I didn't have the heart to remind him we wouldn't need to save up. There wasn't a farm on the planet I couldn't buy if we wanted it badly enough. Just that small difference between our ways of thinking was enough to remind me that we weren't meant for each other.
I shook my head. "No, Joe. We tried. I can't let you do this to yourself. Seven generations of Tanners have farmed this land! I won't be the one to change that."
Mr. Tanner came slowly to his feet. He and Joe were roughly the same build and size, but somehow Mr. Tanner seemed bigger, as he if needed more space. "She's right şişli escort Joseph. Let her go."
Lilly always told me Joe had a temper. Right then, I knew I'd just been lucky to never have seen it before. A heated, angry flush crept across his neck when he turned to his father. I actually felt the taut tension in his muscles.
"This is none of your business," Joe said quietly in a tone more menacing than if he'd yelled it at the top of his lungs.
Joe's father's expression took on an equally ominous cast. "This is still my farm. Still my family. I still have a say."
"Not over this."
Mr. Tanner drew himself up to his full height. He and Joe stood toe-to-toe. Both men bristled with barely restrained anger.
"Look at her Joseph, she doesn't belong here and she never will."
Joe said nothing as he stubbornly held his father's gaze. On the other side of the room Mrs. Tanner sat holding her breath. I think I'd forgotten to breathe too.
"You have your family to consider. I will not see you throw this farm away. You're not thinkin' with your head, Joseph," Mr. Tanner's voice was edged with hurtful scorn. "You're thinkin' with your dick."
Joe's punch landed squarely against his father's jaw with a sickening noise. Both Mrs. Tanner and I screamed. I moved first, throwing myself at Joe before Mr. Tanner reciprocated.
"She is my family. I have other considerations now other than you," Joe ground out through gritted teeth as he glared darkly at his father.
The identical dark expressions on both men's faces scared me half to death. Mr. Tanner stumbled back from the impact of his son's fist against his jaw but never broke his gaze from Joe. The two men circled each other, with me clutching Joe's arm. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
"Don't do this," I pleaded softly. Beneath my hands Joe's arm was steel hard, tight with rage as he waited for his father to make a move. "Joe please, please don't do this. He's your father. I'm not worth it."
At my words, Joe froze and then he rounded on me with a low growl in his chest. "You are. Why can't you see that?"
His scowl was so dark, so alien to me that I took a step back, afraid. "No, I'm not. Your father is right. I don't fit in here and I never will. You deserve better than that and you know it."
Joe reached for me and wrapped his hand around the back of my head. He leaned down and rested his forehead against my own. His deep blue eyes blocked out the rest of the world. "I love you, Rhiannon."
"Joe," I gasped. Shock rippled through me. I couldn't believe he'd said it. Instantly, I wanted to hear him say it again.
"I love you both." His free hand settled over my stomach. "I don't care what they think, Rhi," his voice was gruff.
"We don't care what they think either," said a soft voice over Joe's shoulder. I looked up to see Lilly standing in the doorway to the kitchen with Matt, Chuck, and Violet.
"What are you doing?" Mr. Tanner asked sharply. He glared at his children.
Joe's brothers and sisters surrounded me until we formed a pack.
"We're doing exactly what you taught us to do," Lilly said with a brave smile. "We're doing the right thing."
Mr. Tanner's angry expression deepened. "Get out!" he snarled. Mrs. Tanner made a small noise of distress which he ignored.
"Get out of my house. All of you."
Joe shot his father a look of disgust, and then with a small grunt of displeasure took my arm and pulled me from the kitchen. His brothers and sisters followed. Not a single one of them looked back.
It was a sombre but thankfully short trip back to the cottage. Adam had dinner waiting. The men started in on the drinking the moment we were all settled at the table. It was the quietest meal I'd ever eaten with the Tanner clan.
Adam kept shooting me reassuring smiles across the table. I appreciated the support but all I thought about was Joe and what he was giving up for me. It didn't feel right. Over and over in my head I heard his voice saying the three words no one in their life had ever said to me.
I didn't know what to do, what to think. I love you, Rhiannon. All I knew was that I wanted to hear him say it again. I wanted to hear him say it every day for the rest of my life. Nothing had ever sounded so right before. There was only one problem — loving me meant losing the farm. I couldn't let that happen.
How long would it take for Joe to begin resenting me? To wish he'd made a different decision? To wish he'd chosen the unchanging land instead of the inconstant woman? And how could I expect him not to feel that way? Only Lilly, Adele, and Mrs. Nichol had ever stuck around for me. Everyone else that had ever meant anything to me in my life always ended up leaving. My mother. My father. Every man who I'd ever had the faintest hope of making a future with.
After dinner the guys moved their heavy drinking to the sunroom and Violet went upstairs to make up all the spare beds. She, Chuck, and Matt would need a place to stay until things got better. Adam was in no shape to take the bike back to the city, so he and Lil would also be spending the night. Lilly and I lingered in the kitchen, doing the dishes.
"Do you think he meant it?" I asked in a low, hollow whisper as I passed a clean plate to Lilly to dry.

I Warned You About Bill Cosby in 2007
OPEN SECRET
Victoria Will/Invision/AP
The public may be waking up to the mountain of rape allegations now, but women were coming forward years ago to warn that the Jell-O Man was not so sweet.
Mark Ebner
Updated May. 18, 2020 11:32AM ET / Published Dec. 30, 2015 11:02AM ET
In 2007—seven years before she publicly came forward—I spoke with Joan Tarshis, a former Hollywood publicist who claimed that Bill Cosby raped her. After our talk—and, of course, much more research—I filed a version of the following story on my website Hollywood, Interrupted. It identified a number of women who claimed that Bill Cosby had raped them, including Andrea Constand, whose allegations led Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, prosecutors to charge Cosby criminally on Dec. 30, 2015.
In my interviews with several of the women back then, I found the tale they told disturbingly similar: All were young and impressionable, beautiful, and talented. Cosby had taken a keen interest in their careers, and had offered to mentor them or otherwise open the fabled doors to the glistening kingdom of show business, for which he was a principal emissary. All were given spiked drinks—or drugs misrepresented as medicine—and became incapacitated, the women charged. And all allegedly awoke with the unshakable sense that something wrong had occurred. People magazine even ran an article on the lawsuits that were settled with several of the women, but never followed up on it. And from my own experience, I can confirm that the story shook people to the core: Even more than Woody Allen, Bill Cosby was a beloved figure and civil-rights pioneer; hardened editors were horrified at the prospect of taking him down. I might as well have pitched a story about Martin Luther King Jr. philandering with white women. The story went nowhere.
It's important to track the history of this story, and the media complicity that enabled it to remain untold for so long. Heroes always fall hard, but their suffering and anguish is nothing compared to that of their victims. — Mark Ebner

As Democrats take charge in Washington, lawmakers introduce bills to stop oil drilling in ANWR
By Alex DeMarban
Updated: February 5, 2021 Published: February 5, 2021
As Democrats take control of the U.S. Senate and House, lawmakers introduced legislation on Thursday to permanently protect the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from oil drilling by declaring it a wilderness area.
Sen. Ed Markey, D-Massachusetts, Rep. Jared Huffman, D-California and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pennsylvania, introduced the legislation weeks after the former Trump administration held the government's first-ever oil lease sale in the refuge's 1.6-million-acre coastal plain.
The administration issued leases to three small entities, primarily the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, a state agency. AIDEA said it planned to hold the leases for possible future development if private partners express interest.
Democratic President Joe Biden, on his first day in office, issued an order temporarily halting oil and gas activity in the 19-million-acre refuge in northeast Alaska. He has said he hopes to permanently protect the refuge. Major banks also have vowed not to finance oil and gas projects there.
Republicans held sway in 2017 when Congress approved drilling in the refuge after decades of attempts by Alaska's congressional delegation, and Republican President Donald Trump signed the provision into law.
Huffman has said Alaska Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan need to meet with Democrats to discuss how Alaska can receive value from the federal government for the potential state revenue that will be lost if oil development in the refuge is banned.
Murkowski, Sullivan and Alaska Republican Rep. Don Young have said they will fight to maintain the oil leasing program in the refuge.

In this paper we study the impact of time-shifting on TV consumption and ad viewership. We analyze the results of a field experiment in which a random sample of "triple-play" households were given a set of premium TV channels broadcasting popular movies and TV shows without commercial breaks. A random subset of these households were given access to these channels with time-shifting (automated cloud recording for later viewing or rewinding of broadcasted programs), while the remainder were not. This design allowed us to identify the effects of time-shifting on TV consumption. On average, we found that receiving access to the channels with time-shifting increased total TV consumption because it increased time-shifted viewership while leaving live viewership unchanged. The increase in the live viewership of these channels was similar to the reduction in the live viewership of the originally available channels, resulting in a net zero effect on live viewership. It appears that time-shifting does not change the concentration of live viewership, but it does increase the concentration of total TV viewership, because it is used disproportionately to watch the most popular programs. Finally, we found that time-shifting does not change the likelihood of skipping ads during live viewership, suggesting that households do not use time-shifting to strategically avoid ads.

Eunuchs, Garlic, and Vaginal Oil: History Had a Million Infertility 'Cures'...But Only One Actually Works
WAIT WHAT
From standing over a jar of dead puppies to using the urine of a eunuch, the ancient world had some truly bizarre solutions for women. But one century old option may do the trick.
Updated Jun. 02, 2017 9:17PM ET / Published Jun. 03, 2017 1:05AM ET
Infertility is on the rise.
Along with the socio-political climate, this scientific fact is the thing that makes The Handmaid's Tale so frightening: an increasing number of people are unable to have children without medical assistance. Between 2003 and 2015 there was a 65% increase in IVF, for example. Most people, who spend their teens and early twenties trying to avoid pregnancy, are shocked to learn later in life that a thirty-year old woman has only a 20% chance of conceiving naturally each month. All of which makes the discovery that a century-old test for infertility actually works as a cure all the more remarkable. And unlike in ancient times, it did not involve dead puppies or cloves of garlic being inserted in the vagina.
Professor Ben Mol, from the University of Adelaide's Robinson Research Institute in Australia, investigated the efficacy of a 100-year old infertility imaging technique. It was only after he started the study that his mother told him that that was how he conceived. The procedure, known as hysterosalpingography (HSG) involves flushing the fallopian tubes using using iodized poppy seed oil. It was first developed in 1917 as a means of examining the uterus and fallopian tubes using X-rays. The results of his study, which were published in the New England Journal of Medicine, revealed that 40% of the infertile women in the sample group who received the oil treatment became pregnant within a year. An exciting medical breakthrough for the millions of Americans wrestling with infertility.
There are other historical medical diagnostic and therapeutic treatments for infertility, however, to which we can be all be glad Dr. Mol did not turn.
As you might imagine, determining if the woman you were about to marry was fertile was a high priority for ancient men. Broadly speaking, people in the ancient world were unaware of even the possibility of male infertility (although there are plenty of spells that deal with impotency), but they were interested in how to figure out if a woman was barren in advance. The central diagnostic tools involved garlic and plants.
An ancient Greek medical papyrus prescribes that if you want to know if a woman will become pregnant, "You should make the woman urinate on this plant, above, again, at night. When morning comes, if you find the plant scorched, she will not conceive. If you find it green, she will conceive." The logic here is that infertile women and barren plants are somehow synonymous and that the bodies of women can actually affect the agricultural world. For similar reasons, Pliny the Elder wrote in the first century C.E. that menstrual blood had the potential to turn new wine sour, ruin crops, kill the vegetation in your garden, kill bees, and dull steel.
While rooted in a certain set of alarming assumptions about the fluid in women's bodies, the urine test is relatively innocuous. Other diagnostic tools, however, were a little more unpleasant. In On Sterile Women, the famous 4th-5th century BCE doctor Hippocrates recommended giving a combination of butter (of a particular plant) and the milk of a woman who had given birth to a male child to a fasting woman. If the concoction makes her vomit, we're told, she is able to get pregnant. Another test involves drinking anise water and seeing if she gets itchy around the navel. In almost all of the tests fertility is indicated by undesirable physical symptoms: itching, joint pain, dizziness, and vomiting, for example.
The most common test in the ancient world, however, involved garlic. Women were supposed to insert a head of peeled garlic into the vagina. If she tastes the garlic in her mouth the next day she was clearly capable of becoming pregnant. As Dr. Laurence Totelin has insightfully noted, the underlying logic here is that women have a tube running between their mouths and vaginas and that in healthy women this tube was not obstructed. She adds that garlic was often linked to sex in the world. Women used to eat it as a means of warding off sexual advances, and sacred laws from Attica instructed men to stay away from garlic, "pigs" (slang for the vulva), and women. The scientific theories justifying these tests actually varied, as Professor Laura Zucconi has argued, from culture to culture; nevertheless a number of ancient peoples from the Greeks to the Egyptians used the "garlic test" for fertility.
This isn't to say that there were no ancient cures for infertility, but they weren't especially pleasant either. Pliny the Elder wrote that the urine of eunuchs could counteract the damaging effects of infertility spells. More often than not, however, ancient Greek women resorted to fumigating the vagina. As noted historian of medicine Helen King has written, in the fifth century BC women would sit "while a jar full of healing ingredients was heated up in a hole in the ground, with the top of the jar firmly sealed except for a reed that passed the fumes from the jar into the woman's vagina." The point of the procedure, she explains, was to induce the womb – which ancient Greeks believed could wander around the body – to return to its correct location. The contents of the jar included the old favorite garlic, but sometimes seal oil (seals were thought both to look like women and to be well endowed) or dead puppies stuffed with fragrant substances. Why puppies? Likely because they were born in litters and, thus, symbolized fertility.
To this day some women, like Gwyneth Paltrow, continue to use fumigation to "clean" the vagina. This is both against the advice of medical professionals and despite the fact that the vagina is self-cleaning. Still, it's better than dead puppies.

My name is James Killen, I've owned and operated Incentive Personal Training since 2001. I have always enjoyed teaching and educating people, along with keeping fit so personal training was the perfect merger of both for me.
In my opinion, the biggest mistake most trainers starting their own studio is spending too much money before they even have their first client. The second is trying to target a niche too early, for example specialising in elite athletes etc. I think its important to just be busy and bringing income, then it gives you the buffer to specialise later.
We focus on making group training affordable and effective for all. We do plenty of private sessions but our strength is being able to give each client within the group their own "personal" session with a strong emphasis on measurable strength and conditioning as opposed to generic circuits.
We are investing in more top end equipment to give more variety and results to our clients. Our goal is better results for our clients and of course more new faces are always welcome.


The Muscle-Up Dip is an important piece of the puzzle in learning to do a full Muscle-Up. This week's video is the third exercise in our four-part series leading up to the Muscle-Up, so if you've been following along by now you should be almost all the way there! This particular exercise addresses the incredibly important step of developing the strength to push out of the second part of the Muscle-Up where you get the elbows and chest above the bar.
I've seen this exact point in Muscle-Ups attempts to be the factor that keeps the client from nailing it.Training with Muscle-Up Dips will also allow you to squeeze out a few more reps when your kip is no longer getting you high enough above the bar. Or, when you've progressed to a slow (non momentum) muscle up.
The Muscle-Up Dip is a counterbalancing movement, using your legs to keep you from falling back.
This exercise may take a little getting used to, as it becomes a balancing act between the legs moving forward as you lower your body. The key is to keep the torso as close to the bar as possible. This will be the exact place that you will end up in once you've kipped above the bar when attempting the full Muscle-Up.
I definitely recommend building strength and endurance by working on your regular dips, which will help prepare the shoulder girdle for this much stress on the anterior capsule. Be sure to do plenty of warm-ups before attempting this exercise, and if you experience pain, stop the movement.
Check out the video below, and get going on the last step before the full Muscle-Up!
You can check out our article Shoulder Rehab Exercises for Better Bodyweight Training in order to strengthen the shoulder stabilizers and surrounding musculature if you find that this a weak point in your body.
Very cool – will be added to today's roster – thank you!


Roof operations involve a great deal of potential hazards. When you're working on a roof of a structure that's on fire, there's little room for error.
Firefighter Derron Suchodolski, president of Practical Fire Equipment, saw a need for firefighters' roof operations safety after his department experienced budget cuts. The Roof Operations Safety Platform provides a safe and solid place for your foot when you need to leave the safety of the ladder.
"There's no more placing your life and career on the head of a buried ax or halligan tool, and no more relying on the roof beneath you to support your weight," Suchodolski said.
The ROS platform is constructed on an aluminum diamond plate and weighs 16 pounds. The ROS is also rated for 750 pounds.
We caught up with him to learn more about his product.
What is the ROS platform?
The Roof Operations Safety Platform is a tool used on an NFPA standard roof ladder that takes the place of using an ax, halligan tool or rubbish hook for footing on steep pitched roofs. The ROS platform is not just a ventilation tool. It can also be used for footing near a chimney fire, dormer window rescue, to mark the end of a roof ladder or to hold tools on a roof. The ROS platform is constructed on an aluminum diamond plate and weighs 16 pounds. The ROS is made in the USA and constructed and welded by ISO-certified welders. The ROS is also rated for 750 pounds.
The ROS Platform came to be from experience with fighting numerous fires in Michigan — where my business partner and I are career firefighters. Weather conditions in Michigan can be brutal for firefighting, and along with old construction, the need to have safe and stable footing on roofs is important.
The concept came from a need that something had to be at the ready and not having to be stored in some compartment on a fire apparatus. This is why we designed the ROS Platform to store right on the roof ladder. The ROS locks to the rungs with our patent-pending design. This enables the firefighter to grab a roof ladder and not worry about where the ROS platform is located.
How did your firefighting background help you coming up with the design?
Being on a busy fire department is what really helped. We fight a lot of fires, so having the experience with roof operations has shown the need to be safer. Fatigue is another reason. I'm not sure about other fire departments, but if they are anything like mine, it seems like our fires always come in at the early hours of the morning. Add a sluggish firefighter trying to sink his ax or halligan into frozen shingles and having to step out onto that ax creates quite the experience.
Why is this product important for firefighters?
The ROS Platform is OSHA compliant under 1910.27. OSHA states that a person must have secure footing while on a roof. Using the head of an ax or other type of tool is not considered secure footing. The ROS Platform is supported by the trusses and does not solely rely on the sheeting of the roof. Ice and snow on a roof are not easy conditions to work on. The ROS Platform allows for multiple foot placements when the other methods only allow one.
What has been the response from firefighters?
The response so far has been overwhelming. We sold over 160 units in our first year. We have over 60 departments in the state of Michigan along with others out of state.
The ROS platform can be purchased online at our website or by contacting one of our sales representatives listed on our website. The ROS Platform has an MSRP of $525. The ROS can be seen at FDIC 2016, booth 9230.
Our business model is to eventually help firefighters with practical ideas bring their product or ideas to market. We have patent attorneys, manufacturing and distribution set up, and our plan is to help walk firefighters through the process.

Why Should I Repair My Crawl Space?
Mold, rot, pests, flooding, cave-ins.... the experts in the Basement Systems Network have seen it all!
Our headquarters has received thousands of photos of crawl space disasters over the years! You'd be amazed at what our experts find!
The phrase "out of sight, out of mind" never rings truer than when it comes to crawl space repair!
In our industry, it's not uncommon for a homeowner to allow rot, mold, and pests to continue to damage their crawl space for months, years, or more!
That's a lot of time to let the damage develop -- and what an inconvenient situation to live with! If you're planning on repairing the crawl space eventually anyways, the best time to repair is right now!
Repairing your crawl space is painless! A crew of our crawl space experts can usually repair a crawl space, start to finish, in less than a day.
Each completed installation includes a written warranty -- one that's measured in decades, not years. This installation is transferable to the next owner of the home, which gives you a great edge when selling!
We'd like to meet with you to discuss what we can do to help you repair your crawl space and provide you with a free, written cost quote! To schedule an appointment with your local dealer, contact us by phone or e-mail today!
Our free quotes are available to homeowners throughout Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and includes an expert inspection, professional consultation, and a written cost quote. As a courtesy, we'll also mail along a full-color copy of our informative crawl space book before each appointment.
In an ideal world, you'll never have to repair your crawl space. When that's not possible, you'll want the next best option -- to repair it once and never have to worry about it again.
Unfortunately, many of the crawl space liner systems available on the market these days are made with a thin, flimsy material that quickly punctures and tears underfoot as service workers access the space. Other vapor barriers are installed improperly, lining the floor but not the wall, or are installed without addressing groundwater flooding within the space.
Investing in long-lasting, durable products (such as a durable 20-mil liner, or a cast-iron submersible sump pump) are vital steps towards that goal. Your crawl space system will last for decades, and you can rest easy.
Crawl space repair is a home improvement investment that pays for itself many times over through the restored value of your home. Sealing your crawl space from outside air saves you significantly on utility costs, while creating a healthier, more comfortable home.
Like all other home improvements, repairing a crawl space costs money. And like all other home improvements, several factors will influence the total cost of the job.
As part of our free quote, our crawl space experts will inspect and measure the space, answer any questions you have, and work with you to create a cost-effective solution that meets every goal you've set out.
Are Energy Efficiency Upgrades Worth It?
Your crawl space is home to many things that are best kept in a warmer environment -- including your furnace, air ducts, water heater, and hot water pipes. A cold crawl space will also affect the floor above, making it feel cold and uncomfortable underfoot.
However, fiberglass insulation in a crawl space is a source of repeated failure and grief for homeowners, and spray foam insulation is extremely expensive to install. So what options are there?
We have innovative solutions for homeowners who seek a cost-effective solution to insulating their crawl space that install quickly and double as a vapor barrier system!
Who Should Repair Your Crawl Space?
We often come across do-it-yourselfers who have opted to repair the crawl space on their own -- and some of them have done excellent work!
However, at Basement Systems, your local dealer will be able to provide you with a written lifetime warranty that can be transferred to the next owner of the home. This can provide a major advantage when selling your home, as the homeowner knows that a company is ready to help them should something go wrong.
At Basement Systems, our dealers also have exclusive access to more than 30 award-winning products, including our patented sump pump and drainage systems.
We Provide Free Crawl Space Repair Cost Quotes!
Before making a final decision on your crawl space repair, it's helpful to have a professional's opinion on the problem. Someone who specializes in crawl space environments will be able to quickly identify sources of moisture and flooding, recognize structural issues, and make recommendations on energy efficient upgrades.
At Basement Systems, it costs you nothing to have your local dealer send a specialist to visit your home! We can measure your crawl space, make any recommendations you'd like, suggest repair options and provide you with a customized crawl space repair quote!
Before our scheduled appointment, we'll also mail along a copy of our full-color crawl space book: Crawl Space Science! This is a powerful research tool, packed with everything you need to know about repairing your crawl space, while also providing details about our products and services.
Our International Dealer Network proudly serves throughout Canada, The United States, and the United Kingdom. We have a local dealer in your neighborhood that's standing by to serve you!
Your crawl space can cost you a lot of money on your home's utility bills! This below-ground space stays cool year-round -- and temperatures can drop even further if cold air is being vented into the space during the winter months.
A cold environment in the crawl space will affect everything in the space that should stay warm -- including your furnace, air ducts, water heater, and hot water pipes. As these utilities soak up the cold from the crawl space, they'll be forced to work harder than ever just to perform their day-to-day work.
Sealing off the crawl space vents, installing an airtight door, and insulating the walls and floors is a great way to hold back the cold to minimize on this costly issue. Modern insulation products can do double duty -- providing a vapor barrier and insulation at the same time.
A relatively small issue with your crawl space can quickly develop into a very significant issue in the future. As moisture, humidity, and structural damages continue to develop, they can lead to sagging floors, jamming or sticking doors, damaged insulation within the crawl space, and a musty, moldy odor in the home.
Pests such as carpenter ants and termites love a dark environment filled with rotting wood, and they'll be glad to move right in. Mice appreciate the damp, dark environment, and will use fiberglass insulation as nesting material. And as the structure continues to deteriorate, it will pull on the structure above, leading to cracks in the drywall.
If the problem is addressed early enough, a complete solution can be often be applied in less than a day by our experts. This is the ideal option!
As your crawl space reaches 60% relative humidity, it becomes an ideal environment in which mold, dust mites, and mildew can grow. As these microorganisms grow, a musty, moldy smell will begin to fill the space, and the air will become laden with dust mite waste and mold spores.
If you show symptoms such a stuffy nose, headache, difficulty breathing, asthma attacks, or allergic reactions that seem to go away shortly after leaving your home, there is a good chance that allergens are the issue.
Mold needs warmth, moisture, and food to survive -- and it will always have access to warmth and food in your home. The easiest, most common-sense way to eliminate this problem is to waterproof the crawl space, seal it from outside moisture, and install a powerful, energy efficient dehumidifier.

Janet and Russell, you have both articulated with passion your diametrically opposed views about the degree to which the state should regulate our private lives.
Case in point elsewhere: To combat obesity, the mayor of New York proposed the ban of Coca-Cola and other "sodas" in containers bigger than 16 ounces.
Case in point here: The local lobby against alcohol abuse wants a floor price for grog and re-introduction of the banned drinkers' register.
With your sustained interest in the issues you both have attracted supporters, in Alice Springs and elsewhere, to your respective views about paternalism, the nanny state and the privilege of people making their own decisions.
This has resulted in a sometimes heated, mostly interesting and always revealing debate in the readers' comment section of this website. Thank you!
I have found in the current New York Review of Books a concept which may provide a compromise between your positions while not requiring either of you to lose face: It's called "nudging".
I recommend to you the review, by Cass R Sunstein, of Against Autonomy: Justifying Coercive Paternalism, by Sarah Conly. This, in a nutshell, is what Conly argues.
She quotes neocon hero John Stuart Mill: "As a general rule, government cannot legitimately coerce people if its only goal is to protect people from themselves.
Mill is saying people are the best judges of what's good for them, a belief examined in the book and found to be flawed, and some fascinating reasons are given.
Conly points out that society has determined that it can't agree with Mill at all times: seatbelts and motorbike helmets are an example.
So where is "coercive paternalism" justified?
• The activity that paternalists seek to prevent must genuinely be opposed to people's long-term ends as judged by people themselves. If people really love collecting comic books, stamps, or license plates, there is no occasion to intervene.
• Coercive measures must be effective rather than futile. Prohibition didn't work, and officials shouldn't adopt strategies that fail.
• The benefits must exceed the costs.
• The measure in question must be more effective than the reasonable alternatives. If an educational campaign would have the benefits of a prohibition without the costs, then Conly favours the educational campaign.
And coercion should regulate means, not ends.
So what of the issues about which the government should not be putting down its foot?
This is where "nudging" comes in, steering "citizens in directions that will make their lives go better by their own lights," says the review.
"For example, cell phones, computers, privacy agreements, mortgages, and rental car contracts come with default rules that specify what happens if people do nothing at all to protect themselves.
"Default rules are a classic nudge, and they matter because doing nothing is exactly what people will often do.

@ Hal Duel. March 5. "Mutual admiration pact" confirms that your earlier comment of Janet "doing me like a dinner" is contradictory, Hal.
You, whom I once thought was considering standing for public office by the deluge of social commentary over the past five years or so, don't seem to have yet got the message that in the interests of public health, I have drawn a line and only responded at this post by invitation of the Editor in as polite a manner as possible.
All the best in your career of super serial social commentary across the issues. I wish you well.
I thought the point of the exercise was to "nudge" both of you toward a compromise, a meeting of minds.
If I misread that, then I withdraw my original comment. If not, then I repeat – Nice try, Erwin.
For the record (again), I am all for alcohol restrictions, a point I have made many times before. I am also all for personal responsibility, another point I have made many times before. I don't see them as mutually exclusive. If I crash my car, I am up for damages, at the least. But we also have restricted speeds in urban areas, especially around schools where it is acknowledged that some are more vulnerable than others are at other locations.
I'm not taking sides here, Russell. I quite enjoy following the pair of you over the hill and down the dale of your mutual admiration pact.
@ Hal Duell. March 4. What is it about Janet and my open and ongoing discussion at the polite request of the Editor that elicits your sense that we have somehow failed, Hal?
Alcohol does not have its tentacles into everything. That is the reply of a preacher who is always telling his congregation that the devil is in everything that is worldly.
And the Victor Harbour thing – PLEASE!!! We live in a day and age that has evolved from many atrocities to say sorry for all the wrongs of our past we would never get on with a future of some resemblance of equality.
The days are long gone when a son is held responsible for the sins of the father or vice versa. We live in a day and age of individual responsibility and individual goals. But we also live in day and age of socially acceptable behaviours so that we can live and survive in communities.
With respect and working towards the common good that does not remove the individuals' rights to their lifestyles and beliefs. It is not the role of communities to whip themselves if someone falls short in their own personal responsibilities.
That is not personal responsibility by the individual and how can that help. But this is the place we find ourselves.
IS EVERYONE ELSE'S FAULT BUT MINE, that is what Russell and others say to those who escaped the independence of self-respect and personal responsibility.
It is my belief and understanding that we address addictive behaviours through treatment and centres but it is also well known that those people need to acknowledge they have a problem and seek help.
That is referred to as respecting their individual rights. When their behaviours exhibit violence or participate in criminal behaviours then the matter is total different. Also remembering that in law we see dependency on drugs and alcohol as excuses in law when dealing with criminal behaviours.
But that excuse is not a get out of jail free card. But for too long it has been. Rehab for drunks and drug addicts. Complete the programs and then ensure testing after release as part of the parole requirements. This reinforces personal responsibility by the offender.
We need to live together and respect everyone's right to live eat drink and behave as they like. BUT!!! Not to input on the harmony of community living in a negative way. That does not mean we cannot disagree, debate and so forth.
But in a democracy we agree to disagree. Individuals have an obligation to themselves and society. And if someone what's to mother an individual or individuals that are in need of help. Do it. I do. And I do it without blaming everyone else. We live in a world where emotional handicaps are predominantly growing all the time. Which is why escape though drugs alcohol and many other forms of numbing medications is growing.
And the tougher the struggle to survive in this world with homelessness growing daily in Australia. Cost of living sky rocketing. Basics like electricity, gas and water are now costing more and more so living standards are changing. This impacts on lives in winter in our below 0 temperatures here in Alice. Businesses closing down. People committing suicide to escape their free falls into despair. This is what we should be focusing on and demanding legislative change about. The nanny state that forces rules costs and impacts on every facet of life as we know it through greed, corruption, deceit and plain stupidity.
Thank you for your letter. This may not be what you are expecting by way of reply, but my campaign for better alcohol management in central Australia over the past twelve months has been driven by one thing only and that is my concern for the mostly Aboriginal friends (many deceased) with whom I live and have lived and worked beside for thirty years.
The fact that they are disproportionately represented in social indicators of disadvantage, suggests that they are the most vulnerable section of NT society and so I have taken to defending them from the self-harm as a result of an epidemic of alcohol mismanagement in our nation, particularly in the NT.
Your letter concerns the "nanny state" stepping in to regulate the free market supply of alcohol or not as I understand it.
Some say that I have been obsessed with alcohol in every social issue raised, but my experience has shown me that alcohol has its tentacles into every area of Aboriginal society in central Australia and they are a legitimate part of the population.
Some say that it's "paternalistic" to discriminate about where Aboriginal people can drink (even though they already suffer the consequences of discrimination as a group of people) and that seven days per week take-away and any other form of restriction of supply, including health warnings on product should be left to supply and demand.
Be that as it may, most people appear to believe that it's a community problem and would rather a community-led solution, rather than the "nanny state" step in, even though without legislation there is no stopping those who cannot agree to act in the community interest. What is the best interests of the community remains polarized to this day.
I would like to bring to the attention of the Alice Springs Town Council, as the local community governing body, a response of the City of Victor Harbour Town Council in SA, where there is a plaque on the foreshore that reads: "Sincere Expression of Sorrow and Apology to the Ngarrinderi People.
"To the Ngarrinderi People, the traditional owners of the land and waters within the region, the City of Victor Harbour expresses sorrow and sincere regret for the suffering and injustice that you have experienced since colonization and we share in your feelings of shame and sorrow at the mistreatment your people have suffered.
"We respect your autonomy and the uniqueness of your culture. We offer our support and commitment to your determination two empower your communities in the struggle for justice, freedom and protection of your Heritage, Culture and interests within this Council area and acknowledge your right to determine your future.
"We commit to work with you. We acknowledge your wisdom and we commit to ensuring our actions and experiences best assist your work. We accept your frustrations at our past ways of misunderstanding you. We are shamed to acknowledge that there is still racism within our communities.
"We accept that our words must match our actions and we pledge to you that we will work to remove racism and ignorance. We will recognize your leadership. We honour your visions, and we hope for a future of working together with respect for each other. We look for and two a living reconciliation with justice.
"We walk beside you, and stand with you to remedy the legacy of 166 years of European occupation of your land and waters and control of your lives.
"The work of the City of Victor Harbour will be guided by your vision of a future where reconciliation through agreement making may be possible and we may work together.
I'll leave it with you to draw your own conclusions about how such a statement might make a difference to Alice Springs, although it's a different city to Victor Harbour, in that it's a multi-national destination, both in the Indigenous visitation to traditional Arrente country and those who come lately.
Thanks for this letter Erwin, I've always been fascinated by reading the comments section in the ASN. I like the fact that although sometimes I have a definite view about something, I can then read a comment by a reader that challenges my ideas. I believe that this is how we learn and improve our knowledge of things, by seeing viewpoints and arguments that differ to our own. Some viewpoints obviously are polar opposite to mine, but at least everybody has the chance to have a say. I can recommend the review that is hyperlinked in this letter, I found it fascinating to the point that I may have to buy the book to understand this concept even more. Thanks for a good read.


A supermarket customer's tweet on stickers placed over the opening of bagged deli meats got the attention of New Hampshire's governor, and a change.
Londonderry Town Manager Kevin Smith recently took to Twitter to ask that the company, Market Basket, not put the price tag stickers over the zipper of the meat bag. He said it's impossible to open it without destroying the bag.
Gov. Chris Sununu responded, saying he has to re-bag cheese every time because of the problem.
Market Basket answered that it would speak to its deli departments about it.
On Tuesday, both Smith and Sununu tweeted that the stickers were moved to the bag itself.
Sununu said he was celebrating with grilled cheese for dinner.

Our examine focuses on differences in fertility patterns by educational attainment , religion, and residence. Primary training is outlined at completing grade 1 to five, secondary education 6 to 10 grade, larger schooling 11 to 17 grade, and no schooling was those who by no means attended school. The evaluation of this examine is descriptive and doesn't attempt to talk about why fertility patterns differ amongst women. Bangladesh is considered one of the nations most weak to malnutrition. For example, 36 p.c of kids under the age of 5 are stunted and 33 % are underweight.

Third, there are few girls in management positions inside the get together, regardless of an election legislation requiring events to reserve no much less than 33 percent of committee positions for girls. Women are sometimes confined to girls wings, which maintain little influence over important selections. This undermines women's ability to advance the careers of other women.
The nation is internationally recognized for its good progress on a quantity of gender indicators. Almost two out of three (72.6 percent) ever-married girls in Bangladesh have experienced some type of partner violence in their lifetime, and morethan half (54.7 per cent) have skilled it within the last 12 months3. In Bangladesh, marriage, divorce, custody of kids, maintenance andinheritance are subject to religious legislation and these 'personal laws' typically discriminate towards women. Moreover, today individuals with increased income are keen to pay for a bigger number of high-calorie beverages to respond to the elite marketing, which substantially contribute to realize weight. Thus, in spite of socioeconomic variability in population, the increased consumption of high-calorie beverages may explain a number of the positive relationship between wealth quintile and BMI . A related end result was present in an earlier research in analyzing socioeconomic and geographic patterning of under- and overnutrition amongst women in Bangladesh . Bangladesh has made exceptional progress within the final 20 years in enhancing the lives of girls and women.
