The official handover of two brand new AirDecker buses took place at Burnett, near Keynsham, with Phil Fletcher, Fleet Sales Manager, Volvo Group UK and Bath Bus Company Managing Director, Martin Curtis.
Costing almost half-a-million pounds, these two vehicles represent the latest state-of-the-art, low emission diesel engines (producing lower emissions than an average family car) with specially designed luggage racks for secure but easy loading, optional table seating upstairs, USB ports and automatic and live announcements providing journey updates and bus stop details.
Built on Volvo B5TL chassis, bodywork was added by MCV while the livery is a revised version of the now familiar AirDecker brand, incorporating Tilling green – the traditional colour for Bath and Bristol buses from the 1940s to the 1970s.
Inaugurated less than five years ago, Bath Bus Company's A4 service to Bristol Airport from Bath via Saltford, Keynsham, Brislington, Knowle, Whitchurch and Hengrove has grown in popularity even faster than Bristol Airport itself – which has handled more passengers every year since 2009 and last year saw over 8 million air passengers pass through its doors.
Martin Curtis said, " The manufactures have worked with us closely to provide a number of modifications and improvements compared with our older buses, many of these suggested by our own drivers.
"The standards of service achieved by our AirDecker staff result in constant praise from the travelling public and we are very proud that passenger numbers continue to grow, with 18% more passengers using the service in the period before Christmas, than 2016. This included our busiest day ever during November, with students, business travellers, holiday makers and those flying for family reasons all travelling with us. Over 1,300 people were carried that day; almost 20% of whom booked with us on-line.
Whilst most new buses these days are registered where they are built, these vehicles carry local Bristol registration marks.

Morten Olsen Interview on Situs Domino99
September 19, 2021 September 28, 2021 By John Gil game
After San Marino's Giampaolo Mazza, Denmark's Morten Olsen is the longest serving international manager in Europe in charge of the national team since July 2000. Andy Greeves speaks to the former star midfielder about his playing days, managerial ambitions and an upcoming friendly with England.
When the 20th FIFA World Cup kicks off in Brazil this summer, spare a thought for Denmark and Morten Olsen. In qualification, the Dane's had all but booked their place in the play-offs as a best runner-up, leading Group B rivals Italy 2-1 in Copenhagen on October 13, 2013 at the end of 90 minutes.
Alberto Aquilani sneaked a stoppage time equaliser for the Situs Domino99 visitors though and despite a 6-0 win over Malta in the final group match, Olsen's men had missed out on a play-off place by one point.
"We were very unlucky in qualification," sighs Olsen. "Had it not been for (Alberto) Aquilani's stoppage time goal, we would have made it into the play-offs for qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and then who knows. It wasn't our time in 2014, but we've qualified four times for big tournaments under my management and now I'm after a fifth with qualification for UEFA Euro 2016."
Not only has Olsen been a manager of Danish teams at the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championships, but as a player he also wore the famous red shirt at these competitions. He captained the side which qualified for Euro '84 – Denmark's first major tournament since the Olympic Games of 1972 – and they subsequently went on the reach the semi-final, losing to Spain on penalties. Two years later, the Dane's reached their first ever World Cup, the same year as Olsen was voted Danish Player of the Year.
"1986 was the first FIFA World Cup tournament that Denmark had ever qualified for, so it was a massive thing for the whole country, not just the players involved," recalls Olsen. "We performed very well in our group, winning all three games against Scotland (1-0 on June 4, 1986), Uruguay (6-1 …

When applying these additives what kind of Spray Gun are you using?
How much pearl do I have to add per gallon of Plasti Dip Spray?
- We recommend mixing in 50 grams per gallon for best results, but up to 75 grams can be added.
Do you add the Pearl Pigment/Micro Flake into colored Plasti Dip or Clear?
- In order to gain best results we advise to mix the pearl directly into either clear Plasti Dip Spray, or a 50/50 mix of Plasti Dip Spray and Glossifier. Nevertheless, you can surely add pearls directly into colored Plasti Dip Spray for one-of-a-kind colors and special effects. Play around to see what you like best!
Do you use Thinned or Un-thinned Plasti Dip when adding pearls?
How much Micro flake is needed per gallon?
- We advise to mix 25 grams per gallon in order to have best results. You can use up to 50 grams per gallon but the surface will have a slightly sandy texture.
May I use Micro Flake like Pearl in order to make custom colors?
- Yes you can, but if you add the required 50 grams per gallon you may have a Sandy textured surface when finished.
Do I need to apply a base coat first?
- Yes, base coats are necessary for all Dip Pearls. For many cases we use a Matte Black Plasti Dip Spray base coat, however, you can also use a Color Matching base coat if desired (Blue Plasti Dip Spray as a base for World Rally Blue Pearls for instance). Experimenting with various base coats and top coats is encouraged - we are creating new and exciting combinations all the time!

If you have been looking for new faucets for your bathroom, you have no doubt been inundated by a number of brands, types, styles and prices. The market is flooded with different types of faucets, so it is understandable why it may be difficult for you to focus or settle on one over the rest. Fortunately there are a handful of companies that consistently provide high quality products that you can trust for many years, and even decades, to come. One of these companies is Grohe.
Known as the largest and leading brands of fittings in the whole of Europe, Grohe is a company that has been built on four values: Design, Quality, Technology and Sustainability. These values, when mixed together, are the reason that the company is able to produce such outstanding merchandise, including Grohe bathroom faucets. This company has some of the highest standards around when it comes to their products and you can see these standards each and every time you use one of the Grohe bathroom faucets.
Because Grohe doesn't sell their bathroom faucets directly, you will need to find a retailer for them if you want to buy them. You will find that the best way to buy a Grohe faucet is to shop online. There are a number of outstanding retailers out there that sell Grohe faucets for the bathroom and you will find that, in most cases, they will be easy to find with a simple webs search.
You should definitely note that the best retailers are those that have a wide selection of Grohe products. You will certainly find retailers that only sell a few models, but these retailers are likely not familiar with the brand and will not be the best source when looking for Grohe. Instead, focus on those retailers that have a large selection of faucets, not only for the bathroom, but for the kitchen as well. In fact, Grohe sells a full range of fixtures for the bathroom, kitchen, shower and home. If you can find a retailer that sells it all, you can feel quite confident that you are working with one that you can count on to purchase your faucet from.

Renowned Louth beekeeper honoured
Louth Beekeepers honoured the memory of a famous Ardonian who was the father of bee keeping in Ireland last week.
Turlough Butler O' Byrne was born in Ardee in 1853 and was appointed by the Congested District Board to develop beekeeping in Ireland in 1893. He travelled the country by bike leading the way in introducing moveable frame hives
His memory and his achievements were recalled at the unveiling of a plaque in his honour in Ardee at the weekend by the President of the Beekeepers Federation of Ireland, Paul O'Brien.
Speaking at the event Mairead McGuinness MEP said: "Turlough Butler O'Bryan's foresight in leading the introduction of movable frame hives in Ireland made an invaluable contribution to beekeeping in this country.
"The decline in pollinator and bee populations is down to multiple factors – changing weather patterns, farming practices and diseases. We can all take action to reverse this decline, be it gardeners and/or farmers. We need to ensure that there are habitats for pollinators," she said.
Agriculture and food production rely heavily on pollination. "Without pollinators and bee pollinators we are threatening our food security," McGuinness explained.
Commenting on the next reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which will call on farmers to deliver more for the environment, given the essential role that pollinators and bee populations play in food production, more cooperation between farmers and beekeepers should be encouraged and supported, she said.
The EU has brought in a number of measures to tackle the issue of decline in pollinator and bee populations. Each year the European Parliament hosts European Bee Week to which McGuinness is actively involved. This event brings together beekeepers and bee enthusiasts from around the EU to share best practices and form recommendations on how to best protect pollinators and bee populations.
The MEP recalled the European Bee Week in 2016, in which she invited the late Philip McCabe to address a key conference. Philip who was President of Apimondia at the time, the international federation of beekeeper associations, focused on extinction rates.
"I was very happy to have Philip in the European Parliament for Bee Week. Philip's expert knowledge brought an added value to the discussions and debates and we are all deeply saddened by his passing, McGuinness said.
She said she has written to Minister for Agriculture, Food & the Marine Michael Creed TD, urging him to establish strong links between farmer discussion groups and beekeepers.
"At ground level there are some excellent examples of farmers working closely with beekeepers, but we need more of this with greater awareness needed by sprayer operators of the risks they pose to hives.
"By providing a place to link beekeepers and farmers we would have greater discussion and understanding of what the needs of beekeepers are and how together there could be a greater focus on the importance of biodiversity and the need to enhance it," she said.


Getting strong digestion is a series of small steps you can take that will pay off in a major way for you in the long run. Want more energy? Greater life satisfaction? To feel good in your skin? It all starts with strong digestion.
Getting strong digestion means that you actually break food down into nutrients you can absorb— which is the whole basis for energy, immunity, and long-term health.
The worst advice I ever got!
Hello everyone. Welcome. I'm Summer Bock. This is Guts And Glory. I want to answer some of the frequently asked questions that I get on Facebook as well as email. Here we have one from Lindsey Davis.
Let's talk about digestion because really your digestive system is the most intimate interaction that you have with the environment. You are literally absorbing sunlight and bringing it into your body. I'm not joking. Sunlight hits plants, converts it into sugars inside the plant. The plant stores the sugars. We eat those sugars. It becomes us. It's crazy awesome. It's actually this really fascinating, very wonderful metaphor for your own ability to absorb and take in nourishment on all levels.
Getting your digestion stronger, first and foremost you want to really look at some of that more emotional, mental stuff. How good are you at taking in nourishment, being receptive, taking in the things around you that are given to you? How well do you take a compliment? Just things like that. Notice, take inventory and see. That's just kind of like the mental, emotional field of it.
Then some of the action steps that you can take to get regular, stronger digestion is taking bitters. Bitters is one of my absolute favorites. It's so bitter. It's good though. I know I don't look convincing when I say that. I love these bitters. These are my product. They're called Liver Lover Warming Bitters. We have Lauren from Wooden Spoon Herbs making these and mailing these out to you guys. You can find them at gutrebuilding.com/shop. Awesome place to go check this out and you can order a few months' supply.
Or you can order some for your purse, some for your kitchen, bathroom, anywhere, your office. Wherever you need it, but take it before meals. This actually helps to stimulate your digestive enzymes and your gastric juices so that you're going to digest your food more fully. Getting your digestion stronger means that you actually break things down. You don't have visible food left over as it's being eliminated from your body. You want it broken down completely. Bitters is going to help with that.
This is a very simple one. This one's like …You know when you go to a yoga class and they're like, "Destress, breathe." You're like, "Awesome, and breathe," like I'm breathing all the time. That's the worst advice I've ever been given. You know how that moment when you're just kind of annoyed, it's like too simple, it's annoying. You want something challenging, meaty, juicy. Well, I'm going to give you the most boring advice for getting your digestion to be stronger, but honestly, it's some of the most powerful advice.
That is chewing. Chewing is kind of like breathing. Breathing and chewing really, absolutely, digesting your food in your mouth before it even gets into your stomach. Very, very important. It slows down the process of eating, too, which helps you in general. If you can slow down your meal intake from five minutes to twenty, or even to thirty or forty-five … Honestly, the slower you eat the better. I don't want you to eat for like ten hours or anything like that, but if you can have a slow meal where you get to breathe, eat, laugh, talk, set your fork down in-between bites, chew, swallow, feel it, feel it in your body before you take another bite. Those kinds of meals are the best way to have strong digestion, because you're just working with how the body was meant to work.
Another tip for you is actually like stronger digestion, would be making food that is cooked slow at low temperatures and that is like, in some ways, pre-digested ahead of time. The fiber is broken down. It's been prepared in a way that your body can now absorb those vitamins and minerals really easily. A lot of people get hooked on this idea of doing a raw food diet and they feel like that might be the best thing for them.
I have found in my clients, who are coming through my Gut Rebuilding Program, really I find, on a regular basis, that they do better with cooked foods. I think this is because they have a digestive impairment to begin with coming into the program. We want to build digestive fire by using foods that they can already absorb. That's why people do really well with smoothies and juices, because those are really easy to digest foods, but they're still nutrient dense. That's what you need. You need those nutrients to heal your body.
All right, so that's just a few tips. There's really way more to go and we talk about those in the Gut Rebuilding Program. Feel free to check that out. I also have some video tips over at gutrebuilding.com. There's a lot of moving parts. When I work with clients individually or in my group setting, we figure out with people what's the part of the puzzle that's missing for them. A lot of times people are missing something. There's all these little moving parts and it might sound so easy that how could chewing solve all your problems.
Well, it can actually solve a lot of your problems, but really you have to ask yourself underneath that. What would allow you to have the time to sit down and chew and enjoy a meal with other people that you love, and be laughing and enjoying yourself? How do you do that? That's the real question. If you're doing that and you're chewing your food, you're living a good life, you're body's going to be much healthier. If you're one of those people who just can't figure out how to make the time to chew your food or you feel bored while you're doing it, your life is not exciting enough for yourself. Your brain is getting bored.
You need to liven it up a little bit around mealtime and figure out what that means, whether you're making foods that taste delicious, spicier. Maybe you're adding more herbs to your meals to really make it excite your tongue a little bit more. Or you bring in some good friends or you start eating with your co-workers, or you make it a point to sit down and have meals with your family. Whatever it is, I just want to make sure that you're enjoying those meals. This makes a huge impact on digestion.
Then you'll see in other episodes I talk about stress. Stress is a digestion killer. It really is. The less stress that you can have in your life, the better, obviously. I'll leave that for another episode. Alright, everyone, thanks so much for listening and I hope, Lindsey Davis, that that helps you with your journey for digestive strength. Alright, everyone, Summer Bock signing out.
I'm curious to hear about which step you're committed to taking action on first. Leave a comment below or join the discussion with my "strong digestion" tribe in our Guts & Glory Facebook group and let us know what you're working on.

Q: Is there a way to populate settlements without befriending them? I've been doing a playthrough where I'm not doing the Minutemen quests or doing anything with settlements. However, I would like to see the settlements built up as if I was doing those quests and managing the settlements, since they are a cool part of the world.
Is there a way for me to get populated settlements without doing Preston's quests or doing any settlement management?

A: No, there is no way to populate a settlement without meeting the requirements for the settlers to come.

A: It is possible in a way, with the Nuka World DLC. Spoiler warning:

 After taking over the whole park, you will get the option to invade the Commonwealth and claim settlements by force. When doing so, you will evict everyone living in that settlement and raiders will move in instead. They have different needs than settles - for example they don't like to be assigned to farming, it will give them a loss of happiness. They will need food, water and happiness, so there won't be more raiders joining unless such resources are available.

There is also an awesome, major mod called Sim Settlements, which allows you do build settlements in an entirely new way. It has the option to appoint a leader to a settlement, such as one of your companions. The leader will then ensure that the settlement builds itself and salvage resources automatically over time, to build further. The population will raise over time and you don't have to build it manually.

What is the purpose of repeating Paath over and over again if you don't understand it?
iii) Benefiting from the message.
The first two steps are essential for the third. Hence, the beginning has to be made with reading. Obviously, reading alone without understanding and benefiting from the message is not of full use. There are many other examples in life where we end at the first or the second step and we fail to take the third, i.e., to obtain the full benefit. We know exercise is good for our health, but many of us don't do it regularly. Smoking is very harmful for our health but some people still continue to smoke. Stealing is both immoral and illegal. Knowing all this, some people still get themselves involved in stealing. Our failure to benefit from the message is mentioned in Gurbani like this: Our mind knows what is right and what is wrong but still it leads us to do wrong things. How can one be saved if the person himself chooses the path?
"Kabeer! The mortal knows everything, and knowing, he still makes mistakes.
We should not feel discouraged that we cannot understand everything when we read Paath or because we cannot practice all what we do understand. We must make a start by reading and then try to move ahead steadily, maybe even slowly. Once we know the benefit of practising the lessons of Gurbani, our mind will start to enjoy the recitation and benefit from it. People who have been reading Jap Ji for 50 years or more still find something new and fresh in it when their mind turns to it. The inner meanings of Gurbani are known only under that situation. Reading Gurbani is a good habit and must be practised regularly by making all efforts to understand it and adopt the message. It is beneficial in many other ways ever if we do not understand it well and do not take full advantage of it.
i) Gurbani is written in poetic form. Its rhythm and sound waves have many positive effects. They cool our nerves and calm our mind in the same way as does music, which many of us also do not understand.
ii) Regular reading of Gurbani (Nitnem) forces a timely pause in the never-ending and never-slowing rat we are running. All doctors now agree that we must sit calmly and quietly to meditate on something to take away our mind from the worldly tensions. This is essential to give a daily rest to our over-worked and over-heated nervous system. Reciting hymns regularly provides us this benefit. It keeps our minds safe from the tensions and pressures of living the high-tech modern life.
iii) This practice is a repeated reminder to us that our life has a purpose; being reminded of this every day is very important to deep our lives on the right track. We are like children playing outside away from our Mother, God. When it is time to work, the mother gives a call to the child, "Dear, now stop playing, come home, and finish your school work in time." The call is first ignored by the children because they love to play (as we love worldly life). Repeated calls of the mother put pressure on the mind of the child to come home and do his school work. Regular sittings for doing Nitnem are repeated call from the Mother, God, reminding us, "Dear, you have a responsibility towards yourself". Now is the time, the call will touch the heart of the reader and motivate him to recite Gurbani hymns devotedly and obtain peace.
iv) In the evenings, we usually chat over a cup of tea with our friends. Many times we carry on our meaningless talks endlessly. If someone says, "Let us recite Rehras; it is time to do it", those who were wasting your time and theirs too, melt away. For those who stay, the meaningless social gathering becomes a sacred Sangat, i.e., solace giving, calm restoring and God-loving congregation.
v) The test of the pudding is in tasting. If a person recited Gurbani sincerely (even when he doesn't understand it fully, and most of us actually don't) he will notice a change in him to the better side. The feeling "I do Paath, therefore, I should not do this bad thing" will become stronger and stronger, keeping him safe from all wrong acts. We know what is right and what is wrong, but we don't have the moral strength to keep a check on us. The regular reading of Paath provides us the necessary reasoning and the required strength to keep our mind under control.
vi) The very question, "What use is reading Paath if I don't understand it?" becomes very meaningful to a person who reads Gurbani regularly. One day it will awaken his soul and make him decide, "I must also know what I read." When he knows what he reads, he will start practising it, making his own life happy and spreading happiness around him.

Embolectomy has long been the gold standard for treating limbs acutely threatened by arterial occlusion. Delayed embolectomy has not been investigated adequately due to the belief that accompanying mortality and morbidity render the case futile. Following our previous experience with late arterial repair for leg or knee salvage I we applied the same principle to limbs threatened with prolonged ischemia as a result of missed emboli. In this study the response of patients with delayed embolectomy in a 2-year interval is evaluated. All of the patients who presented to Shohada Tajrish Medical Center, Tehran, Iran between 2001 to 2003 with prolonged ischemia of the lower limb (more than 12 hours) were selected for this study. All underwent embolectomy and prior to reinstitution of blood to the ischemic leg, all those with calf rigor underwent simultaneous venotomy and irrigation of the arterial tree with heparinized solution and were studied accordingly. Of the total 76 patients 20% had muscle rigor on admission who underwent simultaneous venotomy and irrigation. The limb was salvaged in 45% of patients with above knee sensory deficit and 40% of those with above knee motor deficit. The salvage rates of the limb for below knee sensory and motor deficits were 79% and 85% respectively. We were able to save the knee in 20% of our patients. The short term m011ality rate in the whole was 9.2%. We had only one operative mortality in this high risk group of patients & our figures are lower than those reported in the literature, while at the same time we were able to salvage their limbs or knees.


Throughout the fall, we've been running articles in a series called "The Voters." It was about the different constituencies, demographics and people who made up our complex electorate. Tuesday, voters went to the polls and elected Donald Trump, and it got me thinking about some of the voters I profiled in the series.
After Trump's win, I got back in touch with them and asked for their thoughts on the election. I've lightly edited their responses.
I met Abid, 48, at Friday services at the Central Mosque of Charleston, where she worships and runs the Sunday school. After immigrating from Pakistan two decades ago and raising three children with her husband, she worried about Trump's attacks on Muslim Americans, but also said she would be happy to host him at the mosque and teach him about their faith.
"Last night's election was a nail-biter. It was definitely difficult to watch. The results were surprising, not just for us personally, but for all Americans nationwide.
It is definitely scary to think about our future in this country, especially as Muslim immigrants. We came to this country to gain freedom and live freely in an inclusive America. Regardless of the outcome, I have faith in the system and hope that the values of inclusiveness and freedom will continue to be a foundation for America.
When I first spoke with Demarco, 66, she was thinking of not voting in 2016, citing the "volatility" of the Republican nominee. But by the time we spoke a month before the election, she decided to vote for Trump, feeling his later appearances were more level-headed — and that Clinton was definitely not someone she wanted in office.
"I was thrilled to pieces she didn't win. I just have such a strong dislike for Hillary Clinton. I believe him entirely. She's the one I don't believe. I never believed anything that came out of Hillary's mouth. I truly believe he's going to be the best for the country, and not just for rural white people … The media insinuated that only dumb white people vote for Trump, and it's not true.
This summer, Diep and I met at a Vietnamese restaurant in San Jose, the city where he'd recently been elected to the City Council in a vote that resulted in a final win by just 12 votes. He suggested I order bun cha, a dish President Obama ate while visiting Hanoi with Anthony Bourdain. A Republican who helped campaign for Obama, the 32-year-old spent election night at viewing parties where even Republicans were not elated.
"In a word, I'm gobsmacked. In my own race and in other campaigns I've worked on, I've come to believe that it is the personal connection with voters that win them over.
Hillary Clinton, despite having A-list surrogates around her, could not energize a room by herself … The "beer test" is a powerful thing. In my adult life, Al Gore failed it, John Kerry failed it, Mitt Romney failed it, and Hillary Clinton failed it.
The national election put a damper on many of the election night parties I went to here in San Jose. Even at the party for a Republican candidate, we were lamenting. My heart sank when I heard Trump took Wisconsin and got to 270 votes. I pulled over into a pho restaurant to have some "comfort food" and watch the Trump acceptance speech.

Avengers, Assembled: The 10 Best Moments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
avengers Captain Ameria: Civil War captain america civil war guardians of the galaxy Infinity War iron man Marvel Cinematic Universe MCU samuel l. jackson Thor Tony Stark
By Nick Perkins
These are the 10 Best Moments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Back in 2008, nobody thought that a shared universe, based on a comic book and featuring a collection of superhero movies, would be successful. Ten years later, it's probably the 2nd most successful movie franchise of all time (following Star Wars). It all started with Tony Stark announcing to the world that he was Iron Man. Since then, we've seen gods and monsters, spiders and ants, guardians and defenders. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, as it has come to be known, is a powerhouse unlike anything we've ever seen before and it is showing absolutely no signs of stopping, despite the snap of a certain villain. Over 20 films have been produced under the MCU banner, and each film is important to the universe. The MCU is only as successful as the sum of its parts. Luckily for us, a lot of those parts are really, really cool.

10) Who the Hell are You Guys?- Thor: Ragnarok
That was the question Thor asked the Guardians of the Galaxy during the post-credits scene in Thor: Ragnarok. We had seen various team-ups before, but this was the first time our favorite band of merry men (and women. And rodents. And trees), was interacting with one of the Avengers. It was the best part of a movie full of great parts.
9) I'm Gonna Need a Rain Check on that Dance: Captain America: The First Avenger
Call us sissies, but we've always had a thing for tragic love stories. The most tragic of all the misbegotten romances in the MCU is the one between Steve Rodgers and Peggy Carter. At the end of Captain America: The First Avenger, Rodgers knows he's about to crash land a plane, almost definitely killing him and ending any hopes of a happily-ever-after with Peggy. Instead of bemoaning this cruel twist of fate, Rodgers simply tells Peggy that he's "gonna need a rain check on that dance." She agrees, and they set a date, knowing full well Cap won't be able to make it. Cue the waterworks.
8) Hulk Ain't No Buster- Avengers: Age of Ultron
When Scarlett Witch starts playing tricks with the Hulk's mind, it makes him angry. At everybody. Knowing full well that we don't like it when the Hulk is angry, Tony Stark suits up in the "Hulkbuster" version of his Iron Man suit. Seemingly possessing all the strength of Hulk, plus a bunch of other neat stuff, the Hulkbuster's only mission is to, well, bust Hulk. It's an extremely thrilling battle between two good guys and it has the best sucker punch since Superbad.
7) I Am Iron Man- Iron Man (Like, Duh)
At the end of the first Iron Man film, Tony Stark has been through a lot. He had to kill a former friend, has gotten beaten up multiple times by various objects and people and after professing his feelings to Pepper Potts, he basically got shot down worse than the time we tried to ask the head cheerleader to prom. The only difference is, Tony Stark got to then go announce to the world that he was Iron Man. We just announced to our cat that we were sad. Where were we? Oh yes! So up until that point in Iron Man, superhero movies employed the typical trope of "secret identities." Proving once again that he is anything but cliché, Tony Stark ignored the cue cards and announced to the world: "I am Ironman." Nothing was ever the same.
6) He Killed my Mom- Captain America: Civil War
From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. Towards the climax of Civil War, Tony Stark finds out that it was the Winter Soldier, his mind controlled by HYDRA, that murdered his parents. An epic three-way dance between Iron Man, Winter Soldier and Cap then commences. It's brutal and it's heartbreaking. We know that it wasn't Bucky Barnes' fault that he killed Stark's parents- he was brainwashed. Still, we can also side with Tony because if anybody killed our mom, it would take the entire Avengers team to stop us from ending that person. We don't know whose side to choose, so we just watch, as one of the best scenes in any superhero movie is put to film. When Cap tries to reason with Tony, saying that killing Bucky won't change anything, Tony replies with a bitter truth. "I don't care; he killed my mom."
5) Hey Everyone- Captain America: Civil War
We didn't think it was ever going to happen. Due to rights issues between Marvel films and Sony, we never thought we would see Spider-Man in an Avengers movie. We certainly didn't think we'd see him teaming up with Robert Downey Jr. But that's exactly what happens in Captain America: Civil War. As the two sides of the Avengers line up to do battle against each other (we don't really remember why, but it doesn't matter) Tony Stark calls in a favor. This favor comes in the form of the best on-screen Spider-Man to date. Does Spidey get a super cool introduction, similar to "I'm Batman?" No, because that wouldn't be Spidey-like. He simply comes on the scene after snatching Captain America's shield and utters a "hey everyone," before getting ready to fight. And it was the coolest part of the movie up to that point.
4) The One at the Airport- Captain America: Civil War
Following the introduction of Spider-Man, we're treated to another incredible moment- this time it's the titular 'war' between the Avengers. It's friend against friend, brother against brother (and sister). It's a visual that has stayed with us long past the end of the film. Like the later scene between Cap, Iron Man and Winter Soldier, we can't decide whose team we want to side with because both have valid points. So we just sit back and watch what was possibly the greatest fight scene in any superhero movie. Sorry, BVS fans. You know it's the truth. Okay, we promise that's the last entry from Civil War. It was just a really, really good movie.
3) The Avenger Initiative- Iron Man
"You think you're the only superhero in the world?" Sam Jackson's Nick Fury asks Tony Stark in the first ever MCU post-credits scene. When Nick Fury uttered that line to stark, our collective breath caught in our throats. Then, in one of the greatest teases in movie history, Fury tells Stark that he wants to "talk to you about the Avenger Initiative." Cut to black! Cut then to millions of nerds losing their f*cking minds. It was the beginning of something truly special. We didn't know just how special the MCU would become; we just wanted to see the Avengers.
2) Avengers, Assemble- The Avengers
That's exactly what we got, 4 years later. It was the moment every preceding film, as well as the majority of the current film's runtime, had led up to. This was, as they say in the biz, "the money shot." It was Iron Man. It was Captain America. It was Hulk and Black Widow and Hawkeye. This was The Avengers, together, for the first time on screen and it was the greatest thing we have ever seen in the history of movies, and that includes the time Phoebe Cates came out of the pool in Fast Time at Ridgemont High. It was the Avengers, Assembled and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as our very own, would never be the same again.
There is only one moment that is greater than the assembling of the Avengers. There's only one moment that could possibly top all that has come before it; one moment that encapsulates the heart, soul, body, mind, and spirit of the entire Marvel franchise. It's a moment that shocked us and brought tears to our eyes and it is one that we will never, ever, forget.

Does this article Prove that Nutrition really is the basis for a Long Life?
"How the Mid-Victorians Worked, Ate and Died"
This is an important article, a must read and well documented. Before the advent of modern medicine this population was living in a golden age of nutrition and were able to actually live as long or even longer than we do today with 10% of the degenerative disease that affects us. And they weren't using any supplements!
This recent article (accepted in January 2015) is a response from over 91% of all the medical schools in the U.S. It shows how little nutrition is appreciated by the medical community; hardly any hours are devoted to studying nutrition. It's a shame that many people completely trust their healthcare to someone who barely studies nutrition and never supplements.
This guy's doctor told him he had six months to live. The guy said he couldn't pay his bill. The doctor gave him another six months.
If you really like to lose weight, you can start immediately!
Is Saturated Fat Really the Problem?
Somewhere along the way war was declared on saturated fats and has not really let up among the medical establishment. But is the war fair and scientifically based? I don't think so and many others agree with me. Unfortunately the war has left many casualties and will continue to until this myth is overturned. Here are a couple of articles plus video explaining this. Would you like to learn about the cholesterol myth? Read this article.
Here's a video that you might like also that describes how we got into this situation in the first place (from the documentary "Fathead").
Would you like to know more in depth information on intermittent fasting? Here and here are everything you would want to know plus more, certainly much more informative than my useless ebook!
Here's a comprehensive site with everything you could possibly want to know about the low carb/keto diet, looks like Atkins was right!
Look up carbs, fat, protein, vitamins, minerals in over 10,000 foods. Everything you wanted to know about your food but were afraid to ask! Ok, they are still in the saturated fat is dangerous myth but you can use the information any way you like. What can you expect from Self magazine!
Now I know this isn't a topic that we normally discuss but if this is a concern of yours you just might want to watch this video.

Can You Resell Misappropriated Art?
While social media promotes accessibility and sharing, it also has the potential of putting collectors in some precarious situations
By Robert Cosgrove and Lauren Berenbaum
In today's art market, artists rely on social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, to share their work, advertise upcoming exhibits, and market themselves to a wider audience. While social media promotes accessibility and sharing, it also has the potential of putting collectors in some precarious situations. Assume, for example, you recently purchased a print by an up-and-coming photographer. While it fits perfectly in your foyer, you primarily purchased the print as an investment, with the hope the photographer's acclaim soars so you can re-sell the piece for a profit down the line. One morning, as you are drinking coffee and leisurely scrolling through Facebook, you come across a post from an art gallery nearby. The picture looks familiar – you zoom in closer and notice it looks nearly identical to the photograph you recently purchased. You think to yourself, "I thought I owned the only copy?"
You do some digging, and to your dismay, learn the supposedly "original print" is a staged copy of another photographer's work. Even worse, the other photographer recently commenced a lawsuit against the potentially infringing photographer for misappropriation in violation of copyright law. As you purchased the photograph as an investment, you are justifiably concerned.
The desire to protect artists' originality and vision is deeply rooted in our society. Accordingly, copyright laws exist to ensure artists can maintain control over the distribution of their original work. Nevertheless, with the increased use of social media platforms, the legal landscape of copyright law is shifting: courts can no longer ignore the impact of social media on artistic expression.
Now, not every use of another's copyrighted work constitutes a violation of copyright law. However, reselling misappropriated art or posting a picture of misappropriated art on Instagram or Facebook may constitute copyright infringement.
One noteworthy defense to allegations of copyright infringement is known as the "fair use" doctrine. Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976 provides, "the fair use of a copyrighted work… for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching… scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright." The "fair use" doctrine requires courts to conduct a fact specific inquiry by considering four non-exclusive factors:
Purpose and character of the use
Nature of the copyrighted work
Amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
Effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work
From the perspective of an art collector, the fourth factor is of significant concern. In fact, the fourth factor seems to highlight the connection between a piece's resale value and "fair use." In 2013, the Second Circuit stated the inquiry into the fourth factor should focus on whether an artist's use of the copyrighted work usurps the market for the original work or the market for any derivative works the original artist "would in general develop or license others to develop." See Cariou v. Prince, 714 F.3d 694, 708-09 (2d Cir. 2013). Specifically, the Court in Cariou held usurpation occurs in cases where the potential "infringer's target audience and nature of the infringing content is identical to the original." Id. at 709. The inquiry hinges on whether the potentially infringing work serves as a substitute for the original work. As copyright is designed to protect creativity and market value, the fourth factor weighs heavily on a court's assessment of "fair use."
Therefore, if you decide to resell the print you recently purchased, you may be exposed to allegations of copyright infringement. If a court ultimately holds you infringed upon the artist's copyrighted work by selling the print, you are liable for either: (1) the copyright owner's actual damages and any additional profits you gained by selling the work; or (2) statutory damages. 17 U.S.C. § 504. In addition, the artist may seek attorneys' fees and costs. 17 U.S.C. § 505. What may initially seem like a smart investment or an innocent post to Instagram, may wind up causing severe financial detriment and years of litigation. Regardless of whether you are found in violation of any copyright law though, the value of the art may be undesirably tainted. Practically speaking, no matter the demand for an artist's work, any allegation of copyright infringement negatively impacts the ability to resell the artwork – the market shrinks and the artwork's resale value plummets.
Copyright law should not be viewed as a barrier to the art world, as it is a mechanism to promote creativity and ingenuity and protect the market value of art. Nonetheless, with art more accessible than ever, it is increasingly important to be cognizant of copyright infringement claims and the legal ramifications of infringing on someone's copyright. Be careful when posting copies of copyrighted art on social media and be mindful that an artist's use of another's image may not constitute "fair use" as a matter of law. And be sure to keep Pablo Picasso's admonition to heart – "the people who make art their business are mostly imposters."

One category that I find fascinating on Future Food 2050 is food safety. If you've never really wondered where your food came from, it offers a glimpse into the people who do know, and who ensure that the system provides safe food to eat. And just like everything else, the food safety industry is innovating as well, with ideas like biological barcodes to trace fruit and fish. At the same time, new foods are being found to have salmonella.
Another food-safety-related initiative, in a way, is selling consumers on ugly food. Just because a food looks imperfect doesn't mean it's actually unsafe to eat. Trader Joe's president is using that fact to launch a new initiative to bring fresh food that is still safe to people who couldn't afford to pay full price.

The Venture- US$1 million in funding and resources – Launched
Posted on Sep 9th, 2016
by TheTV
KUALA LUMPUR, 8th SEPTEMBER 2016 – Chivas Regal today launched, for the first time, The Venture in Malaysia. With over US$1 million in funding and resources, The Venture is Chivas' global search to find and support the next generation of startups that want to succeed whilst making a positive impact on the lives of others. Only the most promising from each of the participating 32 countries in 6 continents, will be selected as a global finalist for a chance to compete for the share of the funding, take part in The Venture's Accelerator Week programme at the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at University of Oxford's Saïd Business School and travel to the USA for Chivas The Venture final event in July 2017.
Now in its third year, over 3,500 social enterprises have applied for The Venture which was launched globally in 2014. To apply for Chivas The Venture or find out about the impact the competition is already making across the world, visit www.theventure.com.
The launch of Chivas The Venture comes off the back of a global report that revealed 95% of young professionals are looking for businesses to take more responsibility in solving global problems*. These findings are further supported by a global survey that confirms people (77%) see big business as the number one driver of positive change for the future**. The survey – that questioned a total of 11,349 people across 10 countries around the world – also found that education 70%) was also considered an important sector when it came to changing the world for the better**.
Chivas The Venture is open to any for-profit-startup that creates both financial value and a positive impact on the lives of others. Last year's competition saw five Grand Finalists pitch to a panel of judges that included, Eva Longoria, Sonal Shah, Joe Huff and Alexandre Ricard in New York City. Conceptos Plásticos, a Colombian social startup that transforms plastic waste into building materials for vulnerable communities was awarded the largest contribution from The Venture fund, receiving US$300,000.
Chivas The Venture inspires social entrepreneurs and those seeking positive change from around the world to pursue their ambitions and realise their potential. The recent global survey revealed over two-thirds of people (69%) would like to work for a business that has a social conscience**.
Founding Executive Director, Beeck Center For Social Impact & Innovation, Sonal Shah commented on the research:
"The results from the Chivas research highlight a number of trends that have surfaced in our work here at the Beeck Center. It shows that Millennials and Gen Z are hungry, motivated and inspired to positively impact the world. Second, young people believe that business also has a social responsibility not just government. As the world continues to become increasingly networked and collaborative, we have an opportunity to shape it – building cross-sector solutions to our most pressing social and environmental challenges."
Richard Black, Chivas Regal Global Brand Director, commented:
"Promoting business as a force for good is a priority for Chivas Regal. There is a clear and growing desire around the world for change; people want to support and associate themselves with companies that are doing more than just making money. Since its launch in 2014, The Venture has already given US$2m of funding to aspiring businesses from Chile to Japan, and impacted over 200,000 lives. We are excited to be able to pledge another US$1m this year to help the next generation of global entrepreneurs make a difference."
Chivas Regal is a global leading super premium whisky with a combination of entrepreneurial thinking and generosity at its heart. Chivas The Venture is inspired by the founding brothers, James and John Chivas, who realised early on that success is much richer when we share it with others. Find out about the impact the competition is already making across the world by visiting www.theventure.com.

Comma Catastrophe: How to Avoid the Most Common Mistakes in Comma Use
By Lisa Funkhouser-Jones, Ph.D. • June 25, 2019 January 11, 2023
Improper comma use is one of the most common grammatical errors in scientific writing, likely due to the prevailing thought that commas must be placed where the speaker would naturally pause in a sentence. However, did you know there are objective RULES for where to place commas that don't rely on an individual's personal preference […]

BEAR — After a promising start, little went right for Archmere in the Auks' DIAA Class 2A football semifinal Dec. 2 at Caravel. The top-seeded Bucs scored 30 unanswered points in a 30-6 win and advance to the state championship game next Saturday at Delaware Stadium, when the No. 5 Auks' reign as state champion will come to an end.
The Auks' defense was the first bright spot on the evening at Bob Peoples Stadium. The Buccaneers moved the ball quickly down the field on their first possession, including a would-be 31-yard touchdown run that was negated by a holding penalty. After the flag, the Auks toughened up, forcing a turnover on downs at the Archmere 17.
From there, the offense went to work, mixing rushes and passes to move into Bucs territory, along with a personal foul on Caravel that helped Archmere along. Quarterback Chris Albero picked up 11 yards on a third down and one, and he followed that with a 10-yard pass to Cole Fenice to the Bucs' 12. Two plays later, Albero rolled to his right and eventually found Gavin Lee in the back of the end zone for a touchdown. The extra point was blocked, and Archmere had a 6-0 lead with 3:41 remaining in the first quarter.
That, however, would be all of the Auks' scoring. The teams traded possessions until the end of the half, with the Buccaneers taking over at their own 31 with 2:21 remaining in the first half.
Running back Jordan Miller — a thorn in the Auks' side all night — picked up 21 yards on first down, with Archmere's Aidan Bellew making a touchdown-saving tackle. On second and 5, Miller gashed the defense for another 24 yards until Bellew again brought him down. Miller ran for another 12 yards, giving Caravel a first and goal at the 7, and two plays later he finished the drive up the middle for a score. The Buccaneers took a 7-6 lead with 17 seconds left in the half.
Caravel received the kickoff to start the second half, and on the second play from scrimmage, Miller went 31 yards to the Archmere 29. He got the touchdown on this drive as well, shooting untouched up the middle on fourth down for a 13-yard score.
The Auks' first two possessions of the second half ended with an interception and a punt, respectively, and after the punt Caravel went to work from its own 22. They earned one first down before quarterback Truman Auwerda threw a screen pass to J.T. Wingo, who streaked 68 yards down the left side to make it 21-6 with 25 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
Caravel added two points on a safety when Albero was called for intentional grounding in the end zone early in the fourth. Christian DeRegis closed out the scoring a few minutes later when he returned an intercepted pass for a touchdown.
The Buccaneers improved to 12-0. They await the winner of the Wilmington Friends-Saint Mark's semifinal on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Saint Mark's.
Frnice had six receptions for 85 yards, and he added 32 yards rushing. He also had 11 tackles on defense. Kieran Udovich led the Auks with 13 tackles, while Bellew had eight. Archmere finished with a record of 9-3.
This year's senior class went 38-7 over the past four seasons, with two appearances in the state championship game and a title last year.

Matt Mastracci is a founder, early-stage angel investor, and hacker, though not necessarily in that order.
CSS Selectors Level 4 is the next iteration of the CSS selector spec, the last version of which was made a recommendation in 2011 after being a working draft for a number of years.
CSS selectors are now categorized into two groups: fast and complete. Fast selectors are those selectors appropriate for use in a dynamic CSS engine. Complete selectors are appropriate for use in cases where being as fast as possible isn't necessarily a problem, document.querySelector, for instance.
Selectors are used in many different contexts, with wildly varying performance characteristics. Some powerful selectors are unfortunately too slow to realistically include in the more performance-sensitive contexts. To accommodate this, two profiles of the Selectors spec are defined [ref].
:has is the most interesting part of CSS Selectors 4, but it comes with an important caveat described below. What it allows you to do is change the subject of the selector – i.e., the element that will actually be styled – while continuing to match elements that appear later in document order.
Caveat: at this time the :has selector is not considered fast, which means that it may not be available for use in stylesheets. As nobody has implemented this selector yet, its performance characteristics are still an open question. If browser vendors can make it fast, it may be available for general styling as well.
In previous versions of the specification this was indicated using an exclamation mark (!) next to the subject – that syntax is now gone.
:matches is a standardization of :moz-any and :webkit-any that have existed with browser prefixes for some time. This allows a stylesheet author to collapse duplicate rule paths.
The Mozilla reference page above lists some caveats about performance. As this selector makes it out into a standard, we will hopefully see performance work on this to make it leaner.
The difference between this selector and the :nth-of-type selector is subtle but important. For :nth-of-type, each element –whether or not you have applied a selector to it – has an implicit index for itself amongst its siblings with the same tag name. The selector in the :nth-child(n of S) expression creates a new counter each time you use a new selector.
might not work as you expect if another, non-<tr> element has the disabled attribute.
In previous versions of the specification this was the :nth-match selector.
The reasoning for this is to provide a bridge between the direct descendant (>), and the shadow DOM (>>>) operator.
CSS Selectors 4 adds column operations that will allow stylesheet developers to more easily style individual columns in a table. The current approach to table styling requires using :nth-child, which does not always match up with table columns when using colspan attributes.
// The following example makes cells C, E, and G yellow.
Alternatively, a stylesheet author may use :nth-column and :nth-last-column to style cells.
In either case, if a cell spans multiple columns it will match a selector for any of those columns.
One small addition to the selector language is :placeholder-shown. This matches an input element if and only if the placeholder attribute text is visible.
The :any-link is another small selector addition. It is defined as matching anything that either :link or :visited would match.
CSS Selectors 4 is still a work-in-progress, but there are already useful selectors that we've seen that will offer web developers new patterns and tools for styling. There are other new selectors in the specification that I haven't discussed here for concepts like accessibility, validity checking and style scoping.
If you'd like to play around with these selectors, you'll need to wait for browsers vendors to catch up, or use some of the earlier implementations. :matches is available as :moz-any and :webkit-any, and WebKit nightlies have early support for :nth-child selectors behind a flag.
Since this is an editor's draft, pseudo-class names may change without notice. Keep an eye on the specification for more information.

New Orleans, Robert E. Lee and the South's treasonous history of alternative facts
My commute on Lee Highway shows the ordinariness of American racism
Up Next From Culture

By Lonnae O'Neal	@LonnaeONeal
Every day, I turn onto Lee Highway, named in honor of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
The road, a section of an early transcontinental auto route winding from Washington, D.C., to San Diego, is part of my daily commute from Northern Virginia. The history it commemorates is part of the American sickness — white supremacy and terrorism, aided by selective amnesia — and it stretches everywhere. It's not something I rail against regularly. Like most racist iconography, like racism itself, the ordinariness of it renders it almost invisible. Such is the banality of evil.
I was reminded anew of that Confederate history last week as I watched a live broadcast of a bronze 16.5-foot statue of Lee being removed from its 60-foot-high perch overlooking a city square in New Orleans. The statue, which had allegedly stood watch against Northern aggression for more than 130 years, was the last of four Confederate monuments removed by the city beginning last month after years of debate, lawsuits, and protests both for and against.
The removals, proposed by New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and approved by the New Orleans City Council in a 6-to-1 vote, are part of a national paroxysm of reconsideration of Confederate symbols after the 2015 killing of nine black worshippers at a South Carolina church by a white shooter who wrapped himself in the rebel flag. Monument supporters argued that the statues represented Southern heritage. Critics charged they represented revisionist history and pain.
Last month, the Liberty Monument — honoring the Crescent City White League, which tried to overthrow a biracial, post-Civil War New Orleans government — was removed. A monument to slave owner and Confederate President Jefferson Davis was removed May 11. The monument to Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard, who ordered the shots at Fort Sumter, South Carolina, that began the Civil War, was taken down May 16. The city gave no notice when it removed the first three statues, and contractors worked at night and wore masks to protect their faces and remain anonymous after receiving death threats. One contractor quit after an arsonist set his car on fire.

The removal of the Lee statue on Friday was the first done in broad daylight, and it was greeted with music and cheers of support.
In a news conference, Landrieu recounted the diverse history of New Orleans, from its Native American inhabitants to its present-day "cauldron of many cultures." A uniquely American model, he called it, "but there are also other truths about our city that we must confront." He said the city was the site of one of America's largest slave markets, trafficking in misery, rape and torture. Of the roughly 4,000 lynching cases in the United States, 540 took place in Louisiana alone, Landrieu said. He pointed to courts that enshrined the idea of separate but equal, and he recalled Freedom Riders beaten to a pulp.
"When people say to me the monuments describe history, well, what I just described to you is history as well," the mayor said, pointing out that there are few if any monuments to that darker history on the soil of New Orleans. "We cannot be afraid of the truth," Landrieu continued. "The Confederacy was on the wrong side of humanity," and despite more than a century of rebranding, "it is self-evident that these men did not fight for the U.S., they fought against it. They may have been warriors, but in this cause they were not patriots."
It was as strident a denunciation of the cult of the "Lost Cause" — the Confederate symbols and the philosophical underpinnings that fashioned them in marble, held them billowing aloft or emblazoned them across road signs — as I have heard from a modern politician. But it doesn't change a mile of my commute.
These stirring words and dramatic gestures are simply too big, too macro, too sweeping and infrequent to contain the routine interactions with racism that mark every day for every citizen on this American journey. They're simply too highfalutin for a motorist taking Lee Highway to get to work on time. The granularity of that is part of the menace and genius of racism.
As Ibram X. Kendi points out in Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, which won a 2016 National Book Award, American history is a story of both racial progress and racist progress. Adaptation is the primary feature animating both these forces.
There are more than 1,503 Confederate place names and public symbols nationwide, according to a 2016 study by the Southern Poverty Law Center. These include 718 monuments or statues; 109 public schools named for Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis or other Confederates; 80 Confederate county or city names; nine Confederate holidays in six states; and 10 U.S. military bases — particularly Orwellian, since the Confederacy was a treasonous uprising against the U.S. government.
There's a word for all this Confederate-lovin'.

The idea of "normalizing" recently gained traction in the wake of resistance to the election of Donald Trump as president, but there's nothing new about the concept or its application. It was part and parcel of the introduction of traitorous symbols and revisionist Old South history into the nooks, crannies and fabric of American life beginning with the end of Reconstruction. The embedding of those symbols into our national marrow helped further the notion that there are two equally American opinions on the Confederate legacy, which is wrong. As I wrote two years ago in The Washington Post, there are two sides to this debate only in so much as some Americans have been allowed to lie to themselves, and others have enabled them with the soft bigotry of low expectations.
The bitter divides of the current political climate, with one side apoplectic that the other side considers climate change up for debate or traffics in alternative facts, is an extension of the racist fictions that have been allowed to fester and grow for nearly 150 years. After all, isn't there at least as much scholarship about race and what caused the Civil War as there is about atmospheric carbon? It is America's sickness that white Southerners were able to avoid grappling with the totality and moral failing of their position (and their great-granddaddy's position) and move on. And that white Northerners and liberals were too racist, indifferent and without wisdom enough to see the existential peril of allowing that position to continue. Every racial ill that has befallen this country and threatens now to rend us from within follows from that. You get the government you've enabled and allowed.
In Northern Virginia, where I moved less than a year ago to be with my husband, efforts to reckon with Confederate markers — such as removing the "Appomattox" statue in Alexandria, or changing the name of Jefferson Davis Highway — have stalled. As far back as 2004, a proposal to change the name of Lee Highway was met with opposition and anger. A leader of a group representing the descendants of Confederate veterans told The Washington Post at the time "that the move represents 'a callous disregard' for Lee's memory … it's practically inconceivable that we would just throw his name away and the memory of the man in the process."
A two-year effort to change the name of J.E.B. Stuart High School in Fairfax County received high-profile assists from alums Bruce Cohen, a Hollywood producer, and actress Julianne Moore, whose online petition has more than 35,000 signatures. But the debate is rancorous, and a committee to study the issue is divided, with even historical facts about Stuart, who commanded the cavalry of Lee's Northern Virginia army and died after being injured in battle, in dispute.
In the old-as-dirt argument where supporters of Confederate monuments bathe in Southern heritage but are innocent of its horrors, I am reminded of the words of James Baldwin in The Fire Next Time: "It is the innocence which constitutes the crime," Baldwin wrote. It is a crime that time and history will not forgive, "that they have destroyed and are destroying hundreds of thousands of lives and do not know it, and do not want to know it."
They want to wave their flags and do in the streets what they could not on the battlefield. Destroy the country with ignorant refusals to evolve. That is the shame that continues to stain the sons and daughters of the Confederacy.
Nicole Moliere, a New Orleans author, supported the removal of the statues but didn't follow the effort closely. When the monuments began coming down, "it affected me because many of the statues are along my daily route on my way to go and exercise in City Park."
For many city residents, the symbols were "part of their everyday life, and they have no idea what these statues symbolize is racist. For the target audience of that racism, this is a daily assault, but for pro-statue people, they don't get that," she said.
Karran Harper Royal, who lives in New Orleans and is the executive director of the GU 272 Descendants Association, which represents people whose ancestors were sold by Georgetown University, closely followed the debate and watched the removal of the Lee statue. "We're just asking you to see from the perspective of other people," Royal said.
Winners are supposed to write the history, but when it comes to race in America, black people seem to be the only losers history can abide. "They lost the war against the U.S. Who puts up the losers of the war when you're the winner?" Royal asks. It is a question that is apparently too big for my Virginia neighbors.
"This country will never be as great as we can be if we don't really reconcile this ugly past, " says Royal.
It's a past I'll weigh only briefly against the drive-time considerations of my Lee Highway commute. Such is the banality of evil. It's the only route that my county, my state, my fellow citizens have allowed me.
