FETNA SLAWSON JONES
Fetna Slawson Jones was born 30 March 1850 in Jasper County, MO near the town of Sarcoxie. She was a daughter of Joseph Arnold Slawson Sr. and his first wife, Celia Williams, both natives of North Carolina. Both were born about 1812 and according to Mormon Church records, married in Wake County, NC on January 25,
The Slawsons came to Miller County from southwest Missouri (near Sarcoxie, Jasper County) after the Civil War and located in the Brays Mill area. Before coming west to Missouri, they had stopped off in Kentucky on their way from North Carolina where a couple of their children were born. Some of their children included: Katherine Slawson b. c/1833 in NC; Haywood Slawson b. c/1835 NC; Lowry A. Slawson b. c/1839 KY; James Slawson b. c/1841 KY; Sarah Slawson b. c/1847 MO. and Fetna Slawson b. c/1850 MO. Later more children were born to Joseph Slawson Sr. and a second wife including Joseph Arnold Slawson Jr (born in Jasper Co., MO in 1854).
Fetna Slawson married William Marshall Jones in Miller County 3 March 1867, the marriage performed by Rev. Thomas Owen Workman, a circuit-riding preacher of central Missouri. William Marshall Jones was a son of Henry and Nancy (Davis) Jones who had moved to Pike Co., Illinois by 1832 because they married there on April 5, 1832. Their marriage was performed by Rev. John M. Davis, the father of Nancy. The Jones and Davis families came on to the Big Richwoods of Miller County in the late 1830s and lived near one another in the census of 1840.
William Marshall Jones was born in Miller Co. 9 Apr 1849. He was one of nine children born to Henry & Nancy. I do not know where Henry and Nancy are buried. There is no record for them in any of the cemetery records. He died c/1874 and she lived until 1902. They are probably buried in unmarked graves in either the Old Brays Cemetery or the Brays Union Cemetery. Fetna (Slawson) and Wm. Marshall (called Marshal) continued to live in the same area of the Big Richwoods in the Brays/Alder Springs community. The Jones' lived there for several generations but most of the Slawson family evidently moved elsewhere. Fetna had a half-brother, Joseph Arnold Slawson Jr., who lived in the Brays Mill area and at one time operated a grist mill in the area. I believe he may have run and operated the old Brays Mill before it was known by that name.
# Fetna and Marshall became parents of several children including:
# 1. Laura A. Jones 1867-1889 m. John H. Thompson
# 2. Sarah Ella Jones 1870- m. Wm. T. Yoakum
# 3. Joseph N. Jones 1871-1967 m. Mishia F._________
# 4. Nancy E. Jones 1874- m. Albert S. Sloan
# 5. Sophia F. Jones 1876- m. George Clinton Bilyeu
# 6. John Thomas Jones 1879-1960 m. Elizabeth Ardora Irvin
# 7. James Walter Jones 1882- m. Leftie Morrow
# 8. Otis/Ottie M. Jones 1884-1958 m. Martha Jane Sloan
# 9. Wm. Gordon Jones 1886- m. Maude Crismon
Marshall Jones died at the young age of 36 years leaving Fetna alone to rear their 9 children. He died of typhoid pneumonia on 2 Dec 1888 and was buried at the Morrow Cemetery (today known as Brays Union). I found record of his death in an old book at the Miller County courthouse. Between 1883-1891, both birth and death records were kept by Missouri counties and Miller Co. has their records in an old book in the County Clerk's office. About 1896, when she had been a widow for about 8 years, Fetna married an older man who lived in her neighborhood. His name was Elijah Dake and he was 25 years older than Fetna. His first wife, Eliza (Lawson) Dake, had died after giving birth to at least 7 children: James, Matilda, Mary, Harvey, Sarah, Perry, and Rebecca. I do not know how long Fetna was married to Elijah. He died sometime after 1900. Fetna Slawson-Jones-Dake lived to the age of 86 years and died at her home in the Alder Springs/Brays area on October 13, 1937. She was survived by 8 children (her oldest daughter, Laura Jones Thompson, died in 1889). She was buried beside her first husband, Marshall Jones, in Brays Union cemetery where many other members of the Jones family are buried.

An echo of Y2K
by John Q on January 3, 2009
Microsoft Zune music players stopped working on New Years Day because of a software bug, raising the inevitable comparisons with the Y2K fiasco. The way in which the largely spurious Y2K problem was handled raises some interesting comparisons with the all too real problem of climate change. Although many billions of dollars were spent on making systems Y2K-compliant, there was no serious scientific study of the problem and its implications. The big decisions were made on the basis of anecdotal evidence, and reports from consultants with an obvious axe to grind. Even the simplest objections were never answered (for example, many organisations started their fiscal 2000 year in April or July 1999, well before remediation was completed, and none had any serious problems). There was nothing remotely resembling the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, let alone the vast scientific literature that needs to be summarised and synthesised for an understanding of climate change.
Thus, anyone who took a genuinely sceptical attitude to the evidence could safely predict that 1 January 2000 would pass without any more serious incidents than usual, even for the many countries and businesses that had ignored the problem. The retrospective evaluations of the policy were even more embarrassingly skimpy. I analysed some of the factors involved in this paper in the Australian Journal of Public Administration.
A really interesting point here is the fact that, in the leadup to 1 January 2000, self-described global warming sceptics, for the most part, went along with the crowd. If any of them rallied to the support of those of us who called for a "fix on failure" approach, I didn't notice it. Of course, I'm open to correction here. I'd be very interested if anyone could point to a piece published before 2000 taking a sceptical line both Y2K and AGW.
Barry 01.03.09 at 2:42 am
"I'd be very interested if anyone could point to a piece published before 2000 taking a sceptical line both Y2K and AGW."
That wouldn't be that much; there's *bound* to be at least *one* person putting out something (on the internet, or in some print publication) taking the view that both were a problem. If there wasn't, that would mean that there was at least one view which was not represented on the internet, which, unlike the LHC, definitely would cause a space-time singularity.
BTW – I noticed what was probably the Y2K bug in MS Excel, in '97 or '98, in a bond pricing function (input yield, current date, date due, and get present value). When I set the due date at '03', I got an error message; when I shifted things back 4 years and had all dates in the 90's, it worked fine.
The Raven 01.03.09 at 3:14 am
I hope this is sarcasm, not ignorance. This whole argument smacks of the sort of reasoning that got us into the current financial mess–assume nothing is wrong, and fix it later. There was a lot of skepticism at the time, in fact. There was panic, too–one of the best of the consultants and teachers went overboard. His summary of how it actually went is here. But the problems were real, though their exact scale is hard to assess (read the linked article), and it's only because a lot of time and money were spent on preparation that we didn't have a huge mess on the turnover date. I'm beginning to be very glad to be working in a computer applications field, rather than doing systems work. In systems, computer professionals get more respect outside their field for doing a bad job and then fixing it (and charging to fix it), than for doing a good job in the first place. And Microsoft is a fine example. Krawk!
Anonymous 01.03.09 at 4:18 am
Really, this issue really reminds you of climate change? That's quite the leap
noen 01.03.09 at 4:58 am
I suspect that global warming skeptics who were also hoarding food and ammo for the coming Y2K crash were getting their information from the same sources. Pat Robertson springs to mind.
weichi 01.03.09 at 5:28 am
The Y2K alarmists had a powerful argument in their favor: fixing Y2K was a huge software project, huge software projects are always late, thus the fix wouldn't be ready in time.
I never worked on any Y2K stuff, but I've always thought that the problem with that arguments was as follows (perhaps someone with experimence doing remediation will comment):
The reason huge software projects are always late is that you never *really* know how much work a software system will require until you start to build it, and as you build it requirements change (for good reason – you didn't know what you wanted before). But Y2K was totally different – everyone knew exactly what problem needed to be solved. People are *much* better at estimating under these circumstances, thus the estimate were good, and the work got done on time.
bad Jim 01.03.09 at 10:37 am
Mark Chu-Carroll has a good piece on the Zune problem (the NYTimes article is wrong on the technical details). Lots of applications did fail because of Y2K errors, but those that hadn't been corrected beforehand tended not to have catastrophic effects; as with the Zune fault there were ways to cope with them.
Raven's right that software types get credit for screwing up, so long as they admit it. Once or twice I was the hero of the day because someone came to me with a critical problem that could keep product from shipping, which I would verify, then find and fix the flaw in my code and issue a replacement, all in about ten minutes (half of which was an obligatory cigarette break).
It makes me wonder why other professionals are so reluctant to admit mistakes. And so modest.
soru 01.03.09 at 11:30 am
If massive concerted global action against climate change does succeed in avoiding any real catastrophe, it is a racing certainty all the denialists will say 'see, I was right'.
Annoying, but the alternatives are worse.
Raven, for those of us who are more clueless, what's the difference between I 'a computer applications field', vs 'doing systems work'?
Donald A. Coffin 01.03.09 at 2:58 pm
I argued at the time that the problem was minimal, but that rich countries could afford to take out insurance (which they mostly did) and that poorer countries were les likely to have problems, should any exist, because they were less dependent on computers. Whether I was right, I can't say, but it does seem that the (implied) icnome elastiticy of demand for insurance against a Y2K problem was right.
Tim Worstall 01.03.09 at 3:27 pm
I was certainly extremely sceptical about how large a problem Y2k was going to be as I am about AGW (no, not the existence of it but how large or immediate a problem it is). But anything I wrote about it is lost in the mists of Usenet so you'll just need to take my word for it.
Or should you be sceptical of that too?
Cranky Observer 01.03.09 at 6:04 pm
The one time mankind works together around the entire globe to proactively identify and fix a problem, and the reward is 30 years of carping about how the whole process was unnecessary. You might want to talk to the Finnish National Railway: their system management software failed regularly on January 1st from 2000 through 2005 (not sure if they finally fixed it by 2006 or just replaced it) – luckily January 1st-5th are not big train trip days in Finland.
Were there excesses, stupidities, and hucksters involved. Sure. Name me a significant human event where no such attached.
Slocum 01.03.09 at 8:18 pm
The one time mankind works together around the entire globe to proactively identify and fix a problem, and the reward is 30 years of carping about how the whole process was unnecessary.
Except that mankind didn't work together in a coordinated fashion. Y2K problems were identified and fixed independently by countless organizations and out of self-interest (the need to keep their own systems running in the new millennium). There was no need for coordination (and no free-rider problem).
I was skeptical not that there were systems requiring Y2K fixes — undoubtedly there were many. I was skeptical that we'd hit Jan 1 2000 unprepared and disaster would strike. I knew a woman whose husband had stocked up on all kinds of survival gear and emergency food and water. I suggested that at around midnight she sneak down to the basement and pull the main breaker just to give him a thrill…
The Raven 01.04.09 at 12:40 pm
Slocum@12: "Except that mankind didn't work together in a coordinated fashion." There was extensive co-ordination within the computing profession. Yourdon, who I linked, was one of the co-ordinators; ironically his good work was part of what rendered his alarmism invalid. Yourdon also links to the US government's "Y2K Czar" who was an important co-ordinator. That you aren't aware of the co-ordination does not speak well for the rest of your reasoning.
Barry@8: Broadly, "systems software" are the components that support applications. These include operating systems, especially the largely invisible resource allocation and networking components of operating systems, firmware, and so on. To use a perhaps over-simplified analogy, systems are like the telephone network and an application are like a business that uses it. To use another, systems are like the structure that makes the finished building stand; the abstract and unnoticed engineering underpinning of the human experience of architecture. Systems work makes it possible for computers to reliably do useful tasks. It is expensive, difficult, and when done well near-invisible. It is noticed when it fails and, as you can see, gets very little credit outside of the field.
Thanks, Raven – I see; the sort of work which people don't notice until it stops working.
The Raven: There was extensive co-ordination within the computing profession.
I don't doubt that there was sharing of strategies and technologies, but the incentives and actions were at the level of individual organizations fixing on their own (disparate) software systems, driven by their own organizational self-interest, as your linked article makes pretty clear:
"But it has always been common practice for individuals, corporations, and government agencies to fix their problems "behind the scenes" whenever possible, and to maintain a facade of normal operations whenever possible. There's no reason to imagine that it will be any different than Y2K problems; the only obvious difference is that customers and end-users may be more vigilant in looking for such problems than they normally would. "
sg 01.04.09 at 4:07 pm
I know what Slocum wants to say – that companies should be left to fix their AGW contributions themselves rather than the evil govt forcing them to. Just like they did for Y2K. But the analogy is completely false.
We all know that if a company had x computers doing y they would have a problem in their own corporate functions on 1/1/2000. But with AGW, a company with x emitters doing y may have no problem in the future, while another company may have a very large problem. For example, power plants will not necessarily suffer as a consequence of AGW; farmers will suffer the effects for them. So why should powerplants do anything? And why should farmers do anything to mitigate the effects of their own activities when they will bear a disproportionate share of other peoples' (unmitigated) activities?
The only solution to this is coordination, whether it be central command and control orders, a carbon tax, whatever.
and I'd like to add my voice to those disputing JQ's assertion that Y2K was not a problem. I was involved in mitigation in a part of my organisation, and the one part of our organisation which refused to cooperate collapsed with several days of serious consequences on New Year's Day. If banks, transport networks and powerplants had suffered the same problem as that part of my organisation, things would have been unpleasant. Not catastrophic, but worth the effort to avoid.
Randolph Carter 01.04.09 at 5:52 pm
In 1998, I started working for a company that sells groceries. I spent 9 months in 1999 working on fixing or replacing application code impacted by the Y2K 'bug'. This was part of an effort that had been ongoing for more than a year by the time I was added to the team.
The only reason that there was no crisis for us on Jan 1 2000, is because of the efforts of our team, and the similar teams in the companies we did business with.
The reason the project lead was able to get COMPLETE buy-in from senior management was he set up several test systems and rolled the clock forward to 12/31/1999. Nothing will get the attention of management faster than "can't cut purchase orders", "can't generate invoices", "can't take delivery of new product", etc…, etc…
The statement that Y2K wasn't a big deal, wasn't a crisis is technically accurate, but grossly oversimplifies the efforts expended to ensure that it wasn't a crisis.
> that companies should be left to fix their AGW contributions
> themselves rather than the evil govt forcing them to. Just like
> they did for Y2K.
The SEC, auditors of public companies, and government purchasing agents who wrote Y2K certification requirements into purchase orders (among others) did not leave Y2K compliance to enlightened self-interest. Just as well given Mr. "Oracle" Greenspan's recent comments on the limits of same.
Oddly, Greenspan apparently worked as a programmer at some time around 1970 and he admitted that he had left code behind that would not work at the turn of the century under the assumption it would be replaced by that time – but he was aware it was still in production as of 1999.
I know what Slocum wants to say – that companies should be left to fix their AGW contributions themselves rather than the evil govt forcing them to. Just like they did for Y2K. But the analogy is completely false.
No — you've got that backwards. What I'm saying (what I did say) is that Y2K and global warming are not commensurate. The analogy is false. Organizations had strong reasons to fix Y2K problems in their own systems regardless of what anybody else did. In contrast, organizations (and nations) do not have strong reasons to reduce their own carbon emissions independently of what others do — from a point of view of self interest, each would be better off free-riding and letting others bear the cost.
are we agreeing with one another then?
I think I better go to bed!
MR Bill 01.04.09 at 10:11 pm
Perhaps pervasive suspicion of the validity of Y2K problems was that most folk in the States experienced it as marketing of disaster preparedness: I have recently unearthed a previous tenant's Y2k supplies, stale water and some dried food in nitrogen packs, in a barn behind my place. You couldn't go into a convenience store or hardware without seen a display of Y2K survival goods, and the radio and TV preachers would do promo teases of "Was Y2K foretold in Revelations?" A lot of items of dubious value were sold during the runup to Y2K, and only some of them were computers and software.
This points up the likelihood that climate-change denial will persist even after a successful response to the problems of AGW. Only if we fail will the deniers be persuaded.
Krawk!
Slocum 01.05.09 at 12:39 am
Oh, and by the way if you're looking for a true the Y2k problem, there is one coming–but you'll have to wait a few more decades:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem
David 01.05.09 at 4:55 am
I expect better from this blog. Y2K was a very real problem, more real than most people understand. The fact that dire events didn't take place and the sky fall was taken by nearly everyone as proof that the entire thing had been wildly sensationalized and blown all out of proportion. What should have been understood was that the potential problem was very real and that many very smart people worked very hard to make sure that it didn't. And this started in the early to mid-nineties when some people working with the Social Security Administration were doing some routine scenario planning x years out and ran into 2000. They realized they had a problem and that if they did, quite a few other systems/structures might as well.
The most dangerous of these was the third leg of the nuclear deterrent triad, the Trident submarines. These operate on a fail-deadly rather than fail-safe mode. If they don't receive the necessary signal every 24 hours, they launch. Game over. There was every reason to believe that this system might be subject to the same Y2K problem. It was barely talked about, but you can bet a good deal of time and brainpower were expended on it. But I guess it was all false alarm since we didn't have a nuclear war (just the electoral equivalent of such a catastrophe that November).
Y2K is a lousy or useless analogy in its current misunderstood context.
Just to harp on this, a "fix-on-failure" approach was not a viable across the board policy. It wouldn't be for the Social Security payments problem much less the Trident gum up the works problem.
Tracy W 01.05.09 at 11:36 am
The most dangerous of these was the third leg of the nuclear deterrent triad, the Trident submarines. These operate on a fail-deadly rather than fail-safe mode. If they don't receive the necessary signal every 24 hours, they launch. Game over.
I am very suspicious of this story, on the basis that there hasn't been a non-test nuclear explosion since WWII. There are so many reasons that communication signals could fail, aside from Y2K, that I am inclined to think that if anyone was operating nukes on a fail-deadly protocol by now we should have seen a really big mushroom cloud somewhere just because a rat chewed through the critical component at the same time as someone put a bulldozer through the backup system, or the controller slept in and forgot to turn the machine on, or something. One of my communications engineering lecturers was ex-US military, and he was as firm an adherent of Murphy's law as any other professor at the engineering school.
Dave 01.05.09 at 12:27 pm
Ah, the wonders of googling. The nuclear Y2K problem was certainly seen as real at the time:
http://www.cpa.org.au/garchve1/965y2k.htm
http://www.bu.edu/globalbeat/nuclear/BASIC1199.html
http://www.angelfire.com/or/truthfinder/nuclear.html
On the 'why haven't we blown up the world by accident already since we're so stupid' point, I think history shows that we very nearly have, but that fortunately it is still very hard to launch nuclear devices, due to governments and militaries appreciating how stupid we all are.
I would like to add, I didn't see much evidence of doomsday alarmism about Y2K in Australia. We knew it was a problem, and potentially nasty, but I don't recall much discussion of fallout shelters and bottled water. Is this an American phenomenon?
Tracy W 01.06.09 at 1:04 pm
Dave – I did google it unsuccessfully before posting skeptically. I however discussed the absence of nuclear explosions as this struck me as a stronger reason for skepticism than my failure to find something on Google, which could equally well be explained by me having poor googling skills or the US military not putting all its nuclear weapon systems details online.
Unless I am missing something, in the links you provided there is no mention of submarines being put on a fail-deadly mood where not receiving a signal in 24 hours they launch. There are concerns about nuclear safety and the Y2K problem, but not the specific situation described. The fear apparently was that a false alarm would lead operators to launch the nuclear weapons, plus associated fears about untested systems generally, not the mere failure to get a signal for 24 hours would lead to an explosion.
sg, among other things, Australian embassies in Eastern Europe were reduced to a skeleton staff in anticipation of Y2K related havoc. And the total expenditure on remediation was estimated at $12 billion, close to 2 per cent of GDP at the time.

TIME: Thursday, July 26, 2012, 2:00 p.m.
With the recent interest in single fraction Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy and the emerging prominence of the Rapid Arc radiotherapy technique capable of delivering a fast and accurate treatment, the in-field primary dose and out-of-field dose assessments are important. Currently, full physics Monte Carlo calculations for dose calculations have been regarded as a 'gold standard' for dose assessments of the target and OAR (organ at risk). However, these Monte Carlo calculations require very long computation times. The current treatment planning methods provide shorter calculation times, but issues such as heterogeneities and model-based parameter calculations may cause challenges and affect dose calculation accuracy. We propose to apply a new, fast convergence dose estimation approach leveraging parallel computing called EDK-Sn, "Electron Dose Kernel-Discrete Ordinates". This novel dose calculation approach for heterogeneous, voxelized phantoms in a parallel computing environment uses hybrid electron dose kernels driven by linear Boltzmann (discrete ordinates) photon transport methods for deterministic radiotherapy dose calculations. The method has proven effective for fast and accurate computations of in-field whole body dose calculations benchmarked to Monte Carlo with isotropic monoenergetic sources. My thesis will focus on the development of an optimized EDK-Sn dose mapping calculation method, as well as study of the impact of different grids on accuracy of the dose calculation algorithm, combined with the spectrum using the real Varian Clinac head model from the GT RESL facility. New calculation results will be compared to real phantom measurement based on the GT Clinac iX machine, as well as to full physics photon-electron Monte Carlo calculation results.

LOST LINKS – review by Alternative Matter
Ambient composer Max Corbacho describes Lost Links as a compilation of "deleted, unreleased, forgotten tracks" which were not included on previous albums. Despite the chronological and conceptual differences this implies, Lost Links portrays a uniform vision and the quality of the music betrays its origin as a collection of unused pieces.
Corbacho's music is, at least on the surface, spacey and spacious, conveying vast vistas of starry skies and yet it has an earthy quality. Compared to the ambient work of say Klaus Schulze the listener is not so much taken on a cosmic journey as earthbound and contemplating the cosmos. Deep warm synth pads are accompanied by synthesized insect- and bird-like effects. Admirers of the music of ambient pioneer Steve Roach, whose work often evokes the less-explored areas of the world, will gravitate towards this earthiness.
The ambient music of Brian Eno has been described by author Eric Tamm as the "vertical colour of sound" meaning that time slices of Eno's individual works essentially convey the same atmosphere without much in the way of narrative development. The pieces on Lost Links do not strictly adhere to that school of ambient. Pads come and go to be replaced imperceptibly by other sonic devices, lending a seamless flow to longer pieces such as the 16 minute One True Light.
The ambient music scene has in recent years taken on a much darker edge; unsettling atmospheres, sound design which has been influenced by horror soundtracks. Lost Links is a refreshing collection against this backdrop. It has a very human, emotional component but also a depth and expansiveness which prevents it from being in any way New Age background hum. Play this album loud and you will be enveloped in a huge cathedral of rich and vibrant sound.

Investigative journalists scrutinize satellite data.
Bellingcat, an international network of investigative journalists, has unearthed numerous facts of the use of Grad multiple launch rocket systems by the Russian army from its territory against Ukraine.
"We investigated the attacks in Ukraine in the summer of 2014. There is plenty of proof that the attacks had been launched from the other side of the border, Russia, but we did not have enough evidence," the head of the organization, Eliot Higgins, told the German ARD TV channel.
Now, Higgins noted, evidence has been obtained based on the analysis of satellite data. Using the Google programmes, "one can see that the fields [in eastern Ukraine] have come under Grad fire, more than 300 attacks, since mid-July 2014," he noted.
The same maps show the multiple launches from camouflaged rocket systems. Russian servicemen fired in at least five directions. There is video evidence in social networks, and it was possible to establish the exact locations with the help of Google Maps. "Everything indicates that those were planned attacks," the journalist said in conclusion.

Once the foot is applied to an area of pain or restriction, weight is given to that area until the PIC says "stop". Then the coach asks for specific movement from the PIC. The stretch is done for 15 to 20 seconds and may be repeated in different areas.
Once the stretch has been completed the coach will ask the PIC to get up and walk or move that area so that the PIC can feel the difference after the stretch. In most cases the pain is greatly reduced or eliminated.
An example from a typical Rossiter workout. The Rossiter Coach strategically and gently places their foot on the Person In Charge (PIC)-who then does specific movements to stretch and release their connective tissue to it's natural healthy looseness.
The stretches are done through the clothing and on a mat. The magic is compression of tissue with movement, and the benefits are instant pain relief, greater range of motion, and return of strength to that area.


Fortunately, this fallacy is BS. We can improve our soft skills just like we can our tech skills. And empathy is one of those.
Understanding others perspectives and situations.
Have a knack for prioritizing team members' points of view. When we do this, we realize our colleagues likely aren't being rude, mean, stubborn, or unreasonable – they're just reacting from the perspective of the knowledge they have (lookup 'fundamental attribution error' to learn more on this).
Intentionally give value to the other person's perspective. Once we see why others have certain beliefs, we are to acknowledge it. That doesn't mean we have to agree but we can accept.
Examine our motives. Are we more focused with getting our way, coming out on top, or not being wrong? Or, is our priority to find the answer, connect deeper with each-other, and accept our differences? Through empathy we're inspired to keep an open mind.
Actively listen. Empathy manifests itself in active listening . What is being said verbally, physically? What tone is being used? Do we sense that the person is leaving something out? How does the other person feel?
Empathy also means understanding ourselves. How are we feeling? How do these decisions affect our attitudes and mental state? Understanding ourselves better helps us solve our problems and be open with each other.
Stephen Covey said it best: "Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood".
Developing an empathic approach improves teamwork and relationships. When we have empathy for others, they'll also work to understand us, and this goes a long way to building a productive and enjoyable team environment. It's a value we cherish at SalesLoft and one that will help take your career to new heights.

Does an alien (a non citizen) have the right to counsel in administrative removal immigration proceedings?
Yes. But the right is limited. The alien must pay for counsel and they have no right to appointment counsel in immigration proceedings. If the right to counsel is denied in administrative removal proceedings, the alien must show that they were harmed.
Gomez-Velasco complained that his right to due process was violated where he was denied access to counsel after being served notice of administrative removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1228(b).
Gomez-Velasco's appeal came to the 9th Circuit on a petitioner for review from the Department of Homeland Security's final administrative order of removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1228.
The question before the Court of Appeals was whether reversal required Gomez-Velasco to demonstrate prejudice on account of the due process violation or whether prejudice should be conclusively presumed.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that an alien who is deprived of their right to counsel in administrative removal proceedings, at least during the initial interaction with the Department of Homeland Security, must show that they were prejudiced by the denial of counsel for a reviewing court to reverse an order of removal.
Gomez-Velasco, a native and citizen of Mexico, was held in county jail. Shortly after his release from jail, he was detained on a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warrant. DHS served him with Notice of Intent to Issue a Final Administrative Removal Order. The notice alleged that Gomez-Velazco is not a citizen of the United States; that he has not been lawfully admitted for permanent residence; and that he has been convicted of an aggravated felony. The notice advised Gomez-Velazco of his right to contest the charges and his right to be represented by counsel of his choosing at no expense to the government.
The DHS officers knew Gomez-Velazco had retained an attorney because two months earlier the attorney had notified them of Gomez-Velazco's pending application for a U-visa. Although Gomez-Velazco refused to provide a sworn statement, he nonetheless admitted the allegations in the notice and conceded that he was removable as charged. He did not claim fear of persecution or torture in Mexico, but he declined to waive the 14-day waiting period for execution of the removal order. He made each of these decisions without the benefit of counsel's advice because his attorney was not present.
Immediately after Gomez-Velazco conceded that he was removable as charged, and before he had a chance to consult with his attorney, the deciding officer issued a removal order under § 1228(b). Because Gomez-Velazco had not waived the 14-day waiting period, he was not removed from the country, and before the waiting period expired his attorney filed a petition for review in this court challenging the validity of the order.
Gomez-Velazco argued that DHS officers violated his right to counsel by pressuring him to concede removability without advice of counsel in his proceedings under 8 U.S.C. § 1228(b), a form of summary removal proceedings in which he did not have a hearing before an immigration judge.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals assumed that there was a due process violation, then addressed the question of whether prejudice was presumed or if Gomez-Velasco was required to show prejudice on account of the violation.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can seek to remove non-citizens from the United States through several different means. The most formal process involves a hearing in immigration court before an immigration judge, at which the individual to be removed can contest the charges against him and request various forms of relief from removal. Most non-citizens are ordered removed through streamlined proceedings— expedited removal, administrative removal, and reinstatement of removal—that do not involve a hearing before an immigration judge. The proceedings are summary in nature and conducted by front-line immigration enforcement officers employed by DHS.
DHS commences administrative removal proceedings by serving the alien with a "Notice of Intent to Issue a Final Administrative Removal Order." The notice must allege each of the three predicates necessary to trigger eligibility for administrative removal. The notice must also advise you of certain rights, among them the right to be represented by counsel of your choosing at no expense to the government, the right to rebut the charges against you, and the right to request withholding of removal if you fear persecution or torture in the country to which you would be removed.
Upon receipt of the notice, the alien has ten days to file a response. In the response the alien may attempt to debuted the charges, request an opportunity to review the evidence, and request withholding of removal. Alternatively, the alien may also waive the right to pursue the options and concede removability.
If the deciding officer orders removal, the order may not be executed for 14 days unless that period is waived in writing. The 14 day period is to allow for judicial review of the administrative removal order.
The right to counsel at one's own expense is not provided by the Sixth Amendment. It is the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and the Immigration and Nationality Act, that is the source of this right. Biwot v. Gonzales, 403 F.3d 1094, 1098–99 (9th Cir. 2005); see also 8 U.S.C. § 1228(b)(4)(B). Thus, an individual who asserts that he was denied the right to counsel in immigration proceedings is asserting that his right to due process was violated.
As a general rule, an individual may obtain relief for a due process violation only if he shows that the violation caused him prejudice, meaning the violation potentially affected the outcome of the immigration proceeding.
The Ninth Circuit found that Gomez-Velazco was not denied the assistance of counsel throughout the entirety of the administrative removal process, which commences with service of the Notice of Intent to Issue a Final Administrative Removal Order and ends with execution of the order. Instead, he lacked counsel at one discrete stage of the process—the point of his initial interaction with DHS officers. The Court noted that this is an important stage because Gomez-Velazco had to decide whether to contest the charges against him and whether to request withholding of removal, decisions that turn on potentially complicated factual and legal issues which virtually all lay people need the assistance of counsel to analyze intelligently.
The Ninth Circuit found no reason to presume prejudice for the denial of counsel at the point of the initial interaction with DHS officers. The Court reasoned that if the individual admits the allegations in the notice and concedes removability, as Gomez-Velazco did here, the lawyer can still file a response asserting any valid grounds for contesting removability within the ten-day period. The Court's opinion stated that it doubted that DHS would refuse to consider the response on the theory that the individual's earlier un-counseled concession of removability is somehow irrevocable. But even if the agency took that dubious position, a reviewing court would be able to assess whether the grounds asserted raise a plausible basis for contesting removability, and thus could determine whether counsel's absence during the initial interaction with DHS officers caused prejudice.


Hip hop legend Eminem has returned to Hollywood with a producing credit on a comedy movie about rap battles.
The legendary lyricist - who starred in the hit 2002 blockbuster as the struggling rapper B-Rabbit in '8 Mile' - has returned to Hollywood and used his music expertise to make the film, which has been directed by Joseph Kahn.
The battle rap satire revolves around a university student, who gets embroiled in a tense race relations on campus when he writes a controversial thesis on the rap battle scene.
Kahn - who is best known for directing music videos - co-wrote 'Bodied' with Toronto battle rapper Alex "Kid Twist" Larsen.
Eminem's manager Paul Rosenberg has also received a producing credit on the project, which will premier at the Toronto International film festival in September, and a tweet from the festival's official account revealed that the film stars The Breakfast Club's Anthony Michael Hall, Calum Worthy and 'Avatar' actress Debra Wilson.
Meanwhile, Eminem - whose last record was 2013's 'The Marshall Mathers LP 2' - is thought to be making a new record after director Allen Hughes revealed Dr. Dre, a longtime collaborator of the '8 Mile' star, is working on a track for the 'Lose Yourself' hitmaker's "latest album".
He said: "Dre still records. People don't know this: Dre records every day.
"Literally, he's in there recording songs every day. He's like Picasso in that way. He's always painting. Right now he's producing, in the 11th hour, a track for Eminem's latest album. So Dre's still real active in music, you know?"
Eminem released his debut solo album 'Infinite' in 1996, but he really hit the headlines in 1999 when he dropped 'The Slim Shady LP', which spawned Grammy Award-winning hit 'My Name Is'.
'The Marshall Mathers LP 2' was his eighth studio album.

Delivering the Mail and Avoiding Martial Law in South Korea, 1987
Chun Doo-hwan, president of South Korea from 1980 to 1988, seized power in 1979 and crushed many democratization movements during his controversial rule. According to the South Korean constitution, Chun was limited to seven years in power, but as the end of his term approached, it was not clear that he would step down. By late June, it seemed likely that Chun would declare martial law and use the Army to stay in power. This decision would have the potential to bring about a civil war in South Korea, and the U.S. Embassy had only hours to deliver a letter from President Reagan and attempt to change Chun's mind before the announcement planned for June 19 — a letter the government did not want to accept. Thomas Dunlop (Political Counselor in Seoul, 1983-1987) discusses the incident here in an interview with Charles Stuart Kennedy, conducted in July of 1996.

The Letter from Reagan — "Your President cannot refuse to see my Ambassador!"
DUNL
OP: Every spring, if you will, there were riots to commemorate the Kwangju incident in 1980, when government soldiers killed a couple of hundred protesters. That incident took place at the end of May, 1980, so from then on the end of May and June was always a time when students would riot to commemorate the Kwangju incident (pictured).…
Although there may have been some sympathy among the broader population, usually the students would wear out their welcome after a few days of rioting. The shopkeepers didn't want to keep their shops boarded up, and vendors didn't want to have to stop selling their merchandise. So the students never really got much beyond the point of rioting.
It was a different situation in June, 1987. Not only were the students in full cry, but there was evidence that doubts about Chun's departure were beginning to be reflected in a political way in public support for the students. The demonstrations lasted much longer than they usually did, and they became increasingly widespread. As I said, they extended beyond Seoul to Pusan, Taegu, and other places, such as Kwangju itself.
The point was reached when it became very worrisome to us in the Embassy that this was the kind of situation that would give Chun the excuse for proclaiming martial law. If he declared martial law and sent the troops out into the streets, it would be a sign that he was going to stay in power and was going to use the Army to make this possible. This would have been a disaster for the political future of South Korea. It could even have meant civil war, because it wasn't at all clear that all of the soldiers would follow Chun. Certainly, there would be a lot of terrible things happening in Seoul, including the effect on the summer Olympic Games, which were due to be held in Seoul next year. This had been regarded as a time when Chun could step aside and let something different begin to happen on the political scene. It looked as if all of this might come unglued.
The embassy, of course, was in touch with Washington. Our Ambassador at the time was Jim Lilley, who was on the secure phone to Washington a number of times in this connection.…Washington finally told us that President Reagan was going to write a letter to Chun. It would be a strongly worded letter urging Chun to keep his promise to step down as President of South Korea and do nothing so rash and foolish as declaring martial law and canceling the elections of 1987.
We knew that this letter from President Reagan to President Chun was coming to us. We didn't know when it would be received. The bureaucracy takes a little time to get out a message like this. On Wednesday night, June 17, 1987, I received a call from Washington that the letter had finally been cleared by the White House. The cabled text would be received by the Embassy in a couple of hours, some time on Wednesday night, our time. I remember the date because Friday was June 19, 1987. Ambassador Lilley had taken a trip to visit some of our cultural offices out in the countryside […] [so he] was not physically in Seoul. I was Acting DCM [Deputy Chief of Mission] and, in effect, was in charge of the Embassy.
I contacted Ambassador Lilley and told him that the letter from President Reagan to President Chun was on the way and … I would make an appointment for Ambassador Lilley to call on President Chun on the afternoon of Thursday, June 18. I knew that it would take Ambassador Lilley a few hours to get back to Seoul and that he would like to read the letter from President Reagan before delivering it.
I suggested making the appointment for any time after 2:00 PM on June 18. Ambassador Lilley said, "OK." I started calling right away to make the appointment. All that I could do, given the time of day, was to leave a message that an appointment with President Chun was urgently needed and that Ambassador Lilley was coming back to Seoul to pick up the letter from President Reagan which he wanted to deliver personally to President Chun.
On the next morning, June 18, I called the Foreign Ministry and was told that President Chun would not receive Ambassador Lilley. At this time Ambassador Jim Lilley was driving back to Seoul, while I was sitting in my office talking to this nice man from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who was telling me that President Chun would not receive Ambassador Lilley.
I said, "But that cannot be! This is a personal letter from my President to your President, to be delivered by my President's personal representative, who is also under instructions to have a few additional words to say." I said, "Your President simply cannot refuse to see my Ambassador in this connection." The Ministry representative said, "Oh, yes, he can refuse to receive the Ambassador." I then escalated the level of my representations to the Ministry a little bit, as I was effectively in charge of the Embassy. I couldn't go too far up, as I was just Acting DCM.
"I don't believe that President Chun has made this decision. I don't think that he would be that stupid to make it!"
I had a horrible feeling that President Chun had already made up his mind and that he didn't want to receive the letter in person. I was told, "You can just drop the letter in the mail or slip it under the door. We'll see that President Chun gets it."
Well, I think that this was the only time that I really lost my temper in dealing with an official of a foreign government. I was sitting in the office. A lot of my Political Officers were running in and out. This was a terribly busy time. We had gas masks in the office. The Political Officers would take them with them when they went out into the streets. It was just a very hectic time. We also had a portable radio there because we were listening to the military security people, who also were concerned about where the demonstrations were taking place. Usually, nobody paid any attention to me. Who was I, just there on the phone. All of a sudden, the whole room went quiet, and everybody was looking at me.
I was shouting into the phone and saying, "I want the name of the South Korean official who has taken it on himself to make this decision. I don't believe that President Chun has made this decision. I will not accept that your President has made it. I don't think that he would be that stupid to make it! He couldn't have made it. God damn it, I want to know the name of the person who made that decision right now!" And so on and so forth.
The South Korean official to whom I was talking said, "Harry, quiet down, quiet down." Well, I was desperate. Anyway, Ambassador Lilley came in about an hour later. I said, "Jim, you're going to have to take it from here. I've done everything that I can." Then the phone rang. It was the Foreign Minister speaking on behalf of President Chun. He said, "The President can't see Ambassador Lilley today, June 18. Would tomorrow, June 19 be all right?"
Little did we know that tomorrow would be almost too late, because right about this time President Chun had decided to declare martial law. As we learned later, that Thursday night was a terrible night of rioting. A South Korean soldier was killed.…Our Consul in Pusan talked to the Pusan Police chief that night. The Police chief said that his police were too tired to go on. He said that he needed soldiers to help maintain order. He said that he had called Seoul to ask for some soldiers. This was not martial law. He said he just needed some soldiers. So, probably late on Thursday night, June 18, President Chun made the decision to proclaim martial law.
The appointment for Ambassador Lilley was set for 2:00 PM on the afternoon of Friday, June 19. Ambassador Lilley had the letter and went over to call on President Chun. At about noon on June 19, just an hour or two before he went in to see President Chun, there was an announcement over the radio that the Prime Minister would address the nation at midnight on that day. This seemed like an ominous time to do things, but this was the announcement. I thought "My God, this means that martial law is about to be declared." We did not get good, advance intelligence on this decision. Our military and our CIA people couldn't tell us what was going on in President Chun's mind or what he was discussing with his top lieutenants.
Later on, we learned a lot about what had gone on that day. By that time we had President Reagan's letter, and a great deal of rioting was going on. Ken Quinones, our Consul in Pusan, had called us with this story to which I have referred about the Police Chief in Pusan who had called for military help from the central government in Seoul to maintain order. We were really worried and concerned about the situation. The more we thought about it the more concerned we were about the possible consequences of martial law and the more disastrous it sounded to us. Then there was this ominous announcement of a midnight speech to the nation by the Prime Minister.
The Meeting of Ambassador Lilley and President Chun
way, Ambassador Lilley went over to call on President Chun on the afternoon of June 19. I did not go with him. No American went with him. President Chun still kept to his practice of seeing the American ambassador alone. Ambassador Lilley spent two hours over at the Presidential Palace [Blue House], where both the office and residence of the President of South Korea were located.
The Ambassador came back to the Embassy at 4:40 p.m. He sat down at his desk and described what had happened to all of us, who were standing there, breathless with anticipation. We knew what was in the letter from President Reagan, which was strongly worded. The letter had told President Chun that he, President Reagan, had been President of the U.S. for seven years in difficult times and knew what the stresses of making decisions were, but that there were a few times which were "defining moments," and so forth. This was one of them, and President Reagan wanted [Chun] to know that the Korean-American alliance would be under severe strain if the political process broke down and if the presidential elections were canceled….
Chun usually liked to dominate the conversation. He would read the letter, if that were involved, and then talk about it. This time Chun did most of the listening. Ambassador Lilley said "I couldn't have been more explicit about what our concerns were. I asked him about the Prime Minister's speech. I told him that if the Prime Minister announced that martial law was about to be proclaimed, it would be a disaster for South Korea and for our relationship. We hoped that this would not be the case."
Some time around 5:30 or 6:30 p.m. it was announced on the radio that the Prime Minister's speech had been canceled. Later on we learned that it had been late in the evening of the Thursday or early on Friday morning that President Chun, who had long been toying with the idea of declaring martial law, had decided to do it. He told the Prime Minister to prepare a declaration of martial law for delivery over the radio at midnight on June 19.
Then President Chun had reluctantly decided to receive the American Ambassador. We also learned that there were a lot of people, including some of his top military leaders, who were telling President Chun the same thing that Ambassador Lilley told him. So I am not trying to portray this as an intervention by Washington that suddenly turned things around. We will never know for sure–my best estimate is that most of the pressures on Chun were to reverse his decision, including ours, and that added up to more than he could withstand.
Chun was not a stupid man. He was a very intelligent man. I think that he would not have made the decision to declare martial law lightly, under any circumstances. It would not have been based on an "impulse" on his part. After the Rangoon and other incidents we had often seen how Chun held up well under stress. However, he appears to have made a clear decision to cancel the elections of 1987, blaming it on the opposition for reckless violence and emphasizing that security must be maintained. In fact, Chun was not losing control of the country. There was no justification for canceling the elections.…Chun shouldn't have made this martial law decision.
Ultimately, he decided not to declare martial law and cancel the elections of 1987. Well, we'll never know, unless President Chun writes his memoirs and we can believe them, what combination of circumstances led him to change his mind. Surely, Ambassador Lilley's intervention with the Reagan letter played a role. I think that if there is anything in my career which I can look back on and say that it might have had an impact of historical significance, my part in that incident, little that it was, including losing my temper on the telephone, might have been such an event.

Trump's is one of 15,000 Gab accounts that just got hacked
The founder of the far-right social media platform Gab said that the private account of former President Donald Trump was among the data stolen and publicly released by hackers who recently breached the site.
In a statement on Sunday, founder Andrew Torba used a transphobic slur to refer to Emma Best, the co-founder of Distributed Denial of Secrets. The statement confirmed claims the WikiLeaks-style group made on Monday that it obtained 70GB of passwords, private posts, and more from Gab and was making them available to select researchers and journalists. The data, Best said, was provided by an unidentified hacker who breached Gab by exploiting a SQL-injection vulnerability in its code.
"My account and Trump's account were compromised, of course as Trump is about to go on stage and speak," Torba wrote on Sunday as Trump was about to speak at the CPAC conference in Florida. "The entire company is all hands investigating what happened and working to trace and patch the problem."
An important data set
GabLeaks, as DDoSecrets is calling the leak, comes almost eight weeks after pro-Trump insurrectionists stormed the US Capitol. The rioters took hundreds of thousands of videos and photos of the siege and posted them online. Mainstream social media sites removed much of the content because it violated their terms of service.
"The Gab data is an important, but complicated dataset," DDoSecrets personnel wrote in a post on Monday morning. "In addition to being a corpus of the public discourse on Gab, it includes every private post and many private messages, as well. In a simpler or more ordinary time, it'd be an important sociological resource. In 2021, it's also a record of the culture and the exact statements surrounding not only an increase in extremist views and actions, but an attempted coup."
Gab and a competing site called Parler were some of the last refuges that allowed much of the content to remain publicly available. Amazon and web hosting providers later cited a lack of adequate content moderation in suspending service to Parler.
Shortly before the shuttering, however, somebody found a way to use Parler's publicly available programming interfaces to scrape about 99 percent of the user content from the site and subsequently make it publicly available.
While law enforcement groups likely had other ways to obtain the Parler data, its public availability enabled a much wider body of people to do their own research and investigations. The leak was especially valuable because materials contained metadata that's usually stripped out before users can download videos and images. The metadata gave people the ability to track the precise timelines and locations of filmed participants.
DDoSecrets said that the 70GB GabLeaks contains over 70,000 plaintext messages in more than 19,000 chats by over 15,000 users. The dump also shows passwords that are "hashed," a cryptographic process that converts plaintext into unintelligible characters. While hashes can't be converted back into plaintext, cracking them can be trivial when websites choose weak hashing schemes. (Best told Ars they didn't know what hashing scheme was used.) The leak also includes plaintext passwords for user groups.
Hate-speech haven
Gab has long been criticized as a haven for hate speech. In 2018, Google banned the Gab app from its Play Store for terms of service violations. A year later, web host GoDaddy terminated service to Gab after one of its users took to the site to criticize the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society shortly before killing 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue.
Gab has also been investigated by Pennsylvania's attorney general. In January, the Anti-Defamation League called on the US Justice Department to investigate Gab for its role in the insurrectionist attack on the capitol.
Attempts to reach Torba for comment didn't succeed.
Best said that DDoSecrets is making GabLeaks available only to journalists and researchers with a documented history of covering leaks. People can use this link to request access.

Alex Trebek, Anderson Cooper, host, Jeopardy, Matt Lauer, Today
Anderson Cooper Next "Today" Host?
First, there was talk that embattled Today Show host Matt Lauer would replace Alec Trebek as the host of Jeopardy! when Trebek retires in 2016. Now there's word that NBC has approached CNN's Anderson Cooper about replacing Lauer on the morning show.
Anderson Cooper (left) is rumored to be on the short list to replace Matt Lauer (right) as host of the Today Show.
Lauer out over Curry ouster?
The website deadline.com reported late Tuesday that NBC heads talked with Cooper, 45, about replacing Lauer, 55, by the end of the year. The New York Times confirmed the call took place. Lauer has been the focus of blistering criticism over the ouster of co-host Ann Curry and the show's ratings slide despite the $25 million contract he signed just last year. He has just under two years remaining. Cooper's syndicated talk show, Anderson Live, is being canceled at the end of this season. He also anchors CNN's Anderson Cooper 360.
Cooper is just the latest rumored to be in the running to replace Lauer. Ryan Seacrest, current Today co-host Willie Geist and Meet the Press host David Gregory have also been reportedly up for the job. Publicly, NBC execs have stood by Lauer. A show spokeswoman dismissed the rumors about Cooper and denied the network was considering replacing Lauer.
An NBC News executive, however, said the network has talked with possible replacements from inside and outside the network, but that reading anything into that was presumptuous.
Cooper would make good morning host
Cooper would be an ideal morning host. He is very popular, is capable with hard news stories and fluff that dominates the morning shows and is witty and fast on his feet. He's also been rumored to be in the running for Trebek's spot.
Lauer's fading fan base and attempts to reform his public image have been daily fodder in the media ever since Curry was unceremoniously axed as his co-anchor last June.

Design optimization of the landing slope of a ski jumping hill
Kazuya Seo, Yuji Nihei, Toshiyuki Shimano, Yuji Ohgi
Graduate School of Media and Governance
This paper describes a procedure for optimizing the design of the landing slope of the Zao jumping hill. The concept behind the design of the landing slope is that the landing slope should enable the spectators to witness an exciting spectacle, that the jumpers can land safely, and that it can be constructed with minimum cost. We regard these features as objective functions. The findings can be summarized as follows: it is possible to control the objective functions by changing the profile of the landing slope; there is not a unique optimal design solution, but the Pareto optimal solutions; a landing slope that gives safety on landing is almost equivalent to a landing slope that produces differences in the flight distance due to differences the jumpers' skill levels; there is a trade-off between the length of the flight distance and safety on landing; the construction cost is influenced by the horizontal distance between the edge of the take-off table and the K-point. The developed procedure would be applicable not only to Zao in Yamagata city, but also to all ski jumping hills in the world.

Highest Rated: 100% The Long Way Home (1997)
Lowest Rated: Not Available
Birthday: Jun 1, 1937
Birthplace: Memphis, Tennessee, USA
With a wise, genial presence that made him the perfect fit to play presidents and even gods, Morgan Freeman was a true fan favorite. Born in Tennessee in 1937, Freeman moved often throughout his childhood, living in Mississippi and Indiana before eventually settling in Chicago, Illinois. He began performing in school plays at age nine and by 12, he was performing on a Nashville based radio show. After graduating high school, Freeman served for four years in the United States Air Force and was honorably discharged with the rank of Airman 1st Class. He decided to return to his interest in performing at this point, moving to Los Angeles where he could study acting at the Pasadena Playhouse. His early breaks included a role in a touring production of "The Royal Sea Hunt" and a handful of appearances as an extra in films like "The Pawnbroker" (1964) and "A Man Called Adam" (1966) before he finally began booking on-screen speaking roles, appearing in the TV movie "Caught in the Middle" (1970) and soon joining the cast of the progressive kids program "The Electric Company" (PBS, 1971-77) in 1971. The actor's credits became steadily more prominent after that series wrapped in 1977, with him appearing with Robert Redford in the prison drama "Brubaker" (1980) and with Nick Nolte in the comedy-drama "Teachers" (1984). Freeman made waves in 1987 when he played a fast talking pimp in the drama "Street Smart" (1987), earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. The role put him on Hollywood's radar. In 1989 alone, he played Sergeant Major John Rawlins in the Civil War drama "Glory" (1989), a highly unconventional principal at a disadvantaged school in the drama "Lean on Me" (1989), and a chauffeur who strikes up an unexpected friendship with an elderly woman in "Driving Miss Daisy" (1989), for which he earned his second Academy Award nomination. He followed this banner year with roles in the blockbuster "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" (1991) and the gritty Western "Unforgiven" (1992) before earning a third Oscar nod, this time for his role as the second lead as well as the narrator in the inspiring drama "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994). In 1995, Freeman co-starred with Brad Pitt as a detective investigating a serial killer in the acclaimed crime drama "Se7en" (1995). He went on to play the president of the United States in "Deep Impact" (1998) and God himself in the comedy "Bruce Almighty" (2003), before finally winning an Oscar for his role as a boxing coach in the Clint Eastwood directed drama "Million Dollar Baby" (2004). Freeman continued to appear in several projects per year for the next several years, memorably reprising the role of God in "Evan Almighty" (2007), as well as appearing in "Gone Baby Gone" (2007), "Wanted" (2008), the blockbuster "Dark Knight" (2008) franchise, and the true life soccer drama "Invictus" (2009)-for which he earned yet another Oscar nod. Freeman played the president once again in the action movie "Olympus Has Fallen" (2013) and made an unexpected but memorable appearance as Ilderim in the big-budget remake of "Ben-Hur" (2016). While also appearing in films like "Just Getting Started" (2017) and "The Poison Rose" (2019), Freeman also reprised his role as President Trumbull for the "Olympus Has Fallen" sequels "London Has Fallen" (2016) and "Angel Has Fallen" (2019).
