After 400 years of colonization, dictatorship, and rebellion, resistance has been written into every page of Filipino history. Spanish/American/Japanese occupations have had an impact in ways still being unpacked today, ways that have manifested in the Filipino people's own governance of the country.
This fall, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Bell Lightbox is bringing a series called People Have the Power: Resistance in Filipino Cinema to Canadian audiences. The series is a journey through nine films, illustrating the myriad ways of resistance embodied by the Filipino people. None of these films are easy to watch, but don't take that as discouragement–quite the opposite. If there's one thing I've learned about Filipino cinema over the years, it's that they ask just as much of the audience as they do of their actors and characters, and the result is a masterpiece.
Brocka's films are known for their melodramatic narratives and commentary on poverty and social norms, led by Cannes Festival finalist Insiang. As an opening film for the series, Insiang not only establishes the tone for the rest of the films, but makes a pretty unforgettable impression on its own. Introduced to the audience by professor Robert Diaz, the film stars a hardened Hilda Koronel against the harsh slums of Tondo. The titular character is a young woman caught between the deeply ingrained cruelty of the society around her and her own instinctual need to survive.
I'd never seen Insiang before, though I had heard of the international acclaim that it won forty years ago. Widely considered to be Brocka's ultimate masterpiece, Insiang is a gut-punch of a story, revealing some of the secret scars on the Filipino collective psyche from poverty, discrimination, and of course, the effects of colonization.
Insiang is one woman's story, reflected against the country's own struggle against cruelty and poverty–many of the films in this series follow similar lines. Erik Matti's Honor Thy Father positions John Lloyd Cruz as a father who finds himself trapped between greed and protecting his family. Dark is the Night brings the horrific reality of Duterte's drug war to a mother's (Gina Alajar) door. In Evolution of a Filipino Family, Lav Diaz brings his signature slow burn filmmaking to the story of a family living under Marcos' dictatorship.
Clearly, the influence of films like Insiang can't be overstated, though Diaz does acknowledge that "modern representations of women in Filipino cinema don't push the boundaries as much as the cinema of the 1970s and the 1980s. I think that has something to do with the notion that precisely because we've progressed, we don't need to push these boundaries anymore." Women like Insiang are still caught in the middle of debates about reproductive rights or the recognized ability to divorce a partner. Will these issues be further dissected in films going forward? Perhaps, and perhaps they will be the subject of future TIFF series–I certainly hope so.
If Gravestock has any say in the matter, this won't be the last bit of spotlight Filipino cinema will have at TIFF. "There's lots of great cinema, every year, we don't have enough space to show all the Filipino cinema," he laments. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next.

MECE (engl. für mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive zu deutsch etwa sich gegenseitig ausschließend und insgesamt erschöpfend) steht als technischer Begriff für die Eigenschaft von Unterelementen bezogen auf ein Oberelement, dieses vollständig und überschneidungsfrei (disjunkt→ Mengenlehre) abzubilden bzw. auszumachen. Er beschreibt insofern eine Regel zur eindeutigen (und damit funktionalen) Erstellung logischer Bäume bei der strukturierten Problemlösung. Kriterien müssen dementsprechend eindeutig zugeordnet werden können bzw. zugeordnet sein. Das heißt, es darf weder Doppelzuordnungen geben, noch Merkmale, die in keine der Kategorien passen.

Beispiele
Kategorisierte man eine Gruppe von Personen nach ihren Geburtstagen, so wäre dies, unter der Prämisse, dass alle Geburtsdaten bekannt sind, ein Beispiel für eine Kategorisierung, die der MECE-Regel genügt, da jeder Mensch einen (und nur einen) Geburtstag hat. Eine Kategorisierung nach dem Kriterium der Nationalität wäre jedoch nicht MECE-regelkonform, da es Menschen gibt, die über keine oder auch mehrere Staatsbürgerschaften verfügen.

Einsatzbereiche
Die MECE-Regel ist ein grundlegender Ansatz der Entscheidungsfindung und wird universell verwendet.

Sie wird bei der Problemstrukturierung derzeit unter anderen von McKinsey eingesetzt.

Kritik
Kritiker der MECE-Regel erwähnen, dass die Regel in sich selbst nicht konform ist. Als Sammlung von Gruppierungsregeln kann die Disjunktheit zwar gewährleistet werden, jedoch sei eine gleichzeitige Erschöpfung quasi ausgeschlossen, da z. B. vertikale und horizontale Parallelen nicht abgebildet werden können.

ServiceNow appoints Paul Smith to lead head up EMEA region
by TAHAWULTECH.COM
July 9, 2020, 11:30 am August 17, 2020
ServiceNow has announced that Paul Smith has joined the company as Senior Vice President and General Manager, EMEA, effective July 7, 2020. Smith joins the company from Salesforce, where he held a number of pan EMEA roles and most recently served as Executive Vice President and UK General Manager.
Smith brings to ServiceNow 17 years' experience in leadership and senior management roles in the technology industry, with a track record in leading sales, go-to-market operations and developing new markets to drive triple digit growth.
Paul Smith, ServiceNow
"ServiceNow is leading the workflow revolution as companies worldwide transform themselves into modern digital enterprises," said ServiceNow CEO Bill McDermott. "The best leaders and top talent want to work for companies like ServiceNow, where they can create the future. We are thrilled to have Paul Smith join our team, serve our customers and lead our EMEA region to new heights on our journey to becoming the defining enterprise software company of the 21st century."
Smith will lead a region that includes many of the company's most important markets and growth opportunities. ServiceNow's EMEA revenues grew 32 percent in 2019 over the prior year; EMEA achieved an approximately $1 billion revenue run-rate as of Q1 2020.
"ServiceNow is the workflow leader and one of the most exciting and innovative growth companies in the world," Smith said. "The pristine nature of the single Now Platform gives ServiceNow that rare combination of scale with agility. It's this exact blend that customers are demanding of their critical partners as they wrestle with digitally transforming their businesses to navigate the change that is yet to come."
Smith continued: "There are moments in your life when career defining opportunities present themselves; ServiceNow is one of those for me. The talented workforce and commitment to customer and partner success sets it apart from other global brands. I'm thrilled to join and privileged to have the opportunity to lead the EMEA business during the next phase of growth."
Smith succeeds Philip van der Wilt who served in this role from January 2016 to July 2020. During this time and under van der Wilt's leadership the EMEA business grew rapidly and established ServiceNow's strong foothold across EMEA.
"Many thanks to Philip for his leadership in growing our EMEA region over the past four years and establishing ServiceNow as a strategic partner to many of the world's leading companies," said Kevin Haverty, ServiceNow's Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales. "With Paul on our team, we are set to continue our momentum and drive the next phase of growth. Paul's strong experience and exceptional track record across the region will help ensure ServiceNow accelerates our leadership as the partner of choice for C-suite leaders driving digital transformation."
Smith began his career with Procter and Gamble but soon followed a passion for the technology industry that took him to Microsoft and leadership of a number of innovative start-up businesses. He joined Salesforce in 2012 to lead their EMEA Marketing Cloud business, before going on to lead EMEA Cloud Sales until his appointment as EVP and GM UK&I in February 2019.

**School: Lakeridge High School**
**Category: Young Adults (16-25)**
**Hours: 258**

Knowing that just a few hours of my afternoon can make an unimaginable difference for someone else is what motivates me to volunteer. My most significant volunteering position is as a Peer Crisis Intervention Specialist at YouthLine, a teen crisis support. On the lines, I talk with teens about anything from stress and anxiety to suicide. This volunteering position has strengthened my drive to continue doing anything in my power to support others since you never know who may be struggling but don't know how to reach out or are afraid to ask for help. I also held volunteering positions at OHSU Hospitals and Legacy Good Samaritan Medical center. Aside from volunteering, I have been a part of my school speech and debate team since Freshman year since I believe educating oneself on the social and civic issues in the world around us and learning how to make an impact with our voice is crucial towards fostering a generation of leaders that can continue to better our communities.

Oregon Chinese Coalition is proud to join the President of the United States in recognizing the volunteers who consistently take the time to make a difference in the lives of others. Therefore, it is a great honor to present the President's Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) to Erik Liang.

On an anonymous poster distributed during the "Velvet Revolution" of 1989, there were two numbers: 89 and 68. These two numbers symbolized the two main popular uprisings in Czechoslovakia as well as two promises of alternative forms of socialism. The poster was designed to be read from two different perspectives; a bold-printed number 89 could be turned over and read as 68, as if autumn 89 were a mere inversion of spring 68. 1989 promised to be a new, more successful 1968.
1968 was distinctive for its transnational nature, as uprisings spread through such places as Mexico, the United States, China, Brazil, and Senegal. In Europe, 1968's most striking and symbolically intense moments were France's "Mai 68" and Czechoslovakia's "Prague Spring." Each of these moments was marked by its own kind of hopes and its own attitude toward state power: on the one side (in France), a clear opposition to state power, and on the other (in Czechoslovakia), an effort to create a new coalition between state power and the people.
The "events of 1968" became a paradigmatic moment for an entire generation of philosophers. Philosophy reflected on these events through the construction of new philosophical concepts. Words like "the event" and "equality" became prominent in a new philosophical vocabulary. Various thinkers, including Jacques Rancière, directed their attention towards the supernumerary part of every situation, and emphasized that struggles over equality are central to questions of politics.
With the reelection of the general de Gaulle in 1968 and the arrival of the troops of the Warsaw pact in Czechoslovakia, the hopes for a new social order awakened by both movements were progressively foreclosed. Some of these hopes were resurrected during Czechoslovakia's "Velvet Revolution" of 1989, as many participants began to call again for a true workers' democracy and a renewed socialism. But the rapid privatization of state assets and the liberalization of the market during the 1990s transformed the philosophical significance of 1989 into a primarily negative process, a marking point that was claimed to signal the termination of the historical sequence known as "communism." 1989 became a date symbolizing, for some, the culmination fixed historical processes and the end of history; for others, who recalled the hopes that had been foreclosed, it symbolized a strange, incomprehensible catastrophe.
At the current moment, when the absence of emancipatory politics has opened a space for resurrected forms of xenophobia and nationalism, we see it as vital to rethink the meaning of 1989 in light of 1968. What affirmative aspects of those two events have been forgotten? What was the historical sequence that led to the shattering of the Second World? Ultimately, what did those events bring to the philosophical thinking of their time? What new concepts and new philosophical vocabularies were initiated by those events? And how did the visions of France's Mai 1968 differ from similar ideas that emerged during the Prague Spring?
The goal of the conference: "1968-1989: PARIS – PRAGUE" is to think history along with philosophy, to think philosophy in its historicity, and to think through the emergence of philosophical concepts and truths in historical events. The conference will unite leading historians and cultural scholars working on these dates as well as philosophers investigating the philosophical meaning of historical events. The conference will take place on the occasion of French philosopher Jacques Rancière's first public presentation in Prague. Rancière will deliver a public lecture at the National Gallery in Prague, in addition to a keynote lecture at the conference itself. The conference will unite scholars working on the legacy of Central and Eastern European critical Marxist thought, together with scholars focusing on the heritage of 1968 in continental philosophy.

Hoséin Fardust (1917 - 18 de mayo de 1987) fue un amigo de la infancia del último Sha de Irán, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, y se desempeñó durante diez años como jefe adjunto de la SAVAK, la poderosa agencia de inteligencia iraní.

La primera vez que desarrolló una amistad con el joven príncipe de la corona, cuando se le permitió asistir a la escuela privada establecida en los jardines del palacio de instruir a los hijos de los favoritos de la corte, y más tarde se unió el príncipe heredero, Alireza Pahlavi, y Mehrpur Teymurtash cuando eran enviados al Instituto Le Rosey en Suiza para continuar los estudios. Fardust mantuvo un cercano confidente del príncipe heredero y años más tarde sirvió durante diez años como diputado de la SAVAK, funcionando día a día los asuntos de la seguridad y la oficina de inteligencia, luego de encabezar la Oficina Especial de Inteligencia de Irán - a veces se describe como una especie de "SAVAK dentro de la SAVAK" durante aproximadamente 20 años. La Oficina Especial de Inteligencia de Irán o, en persa, "daftar -dar " permite a Fardust ser el titular último de Intel prima y el proveedor de los informes al Sha de Irán. Fardust admite haber escrito abajo de todos los datos presentados por la SAVAK, Les Deuxiume Mesa del Ejército, etc usando lápiz cuando los informes de inteligencia llegaron por altos miembros de la comunidad de inteligencia. Usando el lápiz le permitió manipular y cambiar los informes a su antojo según las instrucciones del MI6. Por lo tanto, como resultado el Sha de Irán y otros miembros del Senado fueron mal informados acerca de cada bit de información hasta el último momento. Ruhollah Jomeini fue el resultado final y la respuesta al comunismo de los británicos llamado Cinturón Verde islámico a partir de Pakistán hasta el final a Turquía.

Built by Mitsubishi with an estimated date of assembly in November 1942. Delivered to the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) as A6M3 Model 32 Zero manufacture number 3285. Painted overall gray at the factory.
Assigned to an unknown Kokutai with tail code 3-174 painted in white on both sides of the tail. In the field, this Zero was painted overall gray with green paint applied over top in the field. Later, redesigned or reassigned to another Kokutai with tail code 5-136 painted in yellow.
During 1943, this Zero was abandoned or damaged on the ground at Ballale Airfield on Ballale Island. Likely stripped for usable parts during the war.
Until 1968, this Zero remained in situ on Ballale Island. The wreckage had manufacture number 3285 and traces of tail codes 5-136 and 3-174 visible on the tail.
During 1968, salvaged by Robert Diemert. During the salvage, this Zero's fuselage section was cut between stations 12 and stations 13 and was in a truncated condition. Also recovered were the horizontal stabilizer fairings. Likely, the wings of this aircraft were also salvaged.
This Zero was loaded onto a barge and transported to Port Moresby and stored in a fenced area at Jackson Airport. During the middle of January 1969, a deal was made with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) to airlift the wreckage aboard a C-130 Hercules to Canada and delivered to Robert Diemert at Frendship Airfield.
In 1990, the tail fin was sold to John Calverley and Earl Calverley / Blayd Corporation and placed into storage. The tail fin was missing the leading edge but was otherwise intact and has evidence of battle damage or shrapnel damage sustained on the ground. The tail fin had original paint including tail code 5-136 painted in yellow and original tail code 3-174 painted in white on the side of the tail. This tail fin was placed into storage.
"The unit prefix 3- is indicated by Diemert's notes. Neither this prefix, nor the 5- prefix that was painted over the earlier code, can be attributed to any particular formation. The paint is red primer / olive gray / sprayed green/hand painted white code 3-174 / hand painted yellow code 3-174 / hand painted green/sprayed yellow code 5-136. The cut marks on this fin at station 16 link this fin with the rear most section of an A6M3 fuselage. It is possible to establish this identification by the location of the tail cone fasteners aft of station 16. Because of a lack of an adjustable rudder trim tab inspection panel it can be assumed that this tail came from A6M3 Model 32 3285. The existence of two squared wing tips, a wing panel, a right flap and both left and right wing root skinning also point to the recovery of the wings from A6M3 3285."
(Page 1) "Components of Mitsubishi-built A6M3 32 (s/n 3285) and A6M3 22 (s/n 3753) were also salvaged." "
(Page 3) "The evidence provided that at least six tail fins with tail codes had been recovered, but only three of these could be identified: ...what is believed to be an A6M3 32 tail with the code 3-174 over-painted with 5-136."

I know you were very assertive in insisting that your trip to the deepest regions of goth-dom had nothing to do with dating shock rocker Marilyn Manson, but I am happy to see that pride hasn't prevented you from backpedaling on that in the wake of your split.
You've found the light, my child! Huzzah!
It's an exciting day for us all considering your desire to dress like Elvira (or more accurately, Marilyn's ex, Dita Von Teese) was in danger of overshadowing your insane acting talents. You are hands down the best actress of your generation so I'm thrilled you've stopped dressing like a Hot Topic spokesmodel.


I've recently been dealing with a harvesting incident and needed to identify IP addresses which were running scripts against a web site. If you just look at the high talkers then big customers and gateways can be as big as the bad guys. After some work I found it was useful to look at the ratio of URLs to hits. Normal users hit a wide variety of pages, but the scripts just churn round and round at the same URLs.
Using perl it's easy to pull the source IP address and the URL as you loop through the web server logs. To analyse this data it needs to be loaded into a hash of hashes to keep a count of urls per ip address.
I think this technique has other applications, for example looking at signon success and failures. Its also possible to produce summary data of IDS data.
I thought it was an excellent observation that the ratio rather than raw number of hits might provide some very useful data. Dai has provided the script and you can see it here. Dai's explanation and usage docs are here and here, respectively. The explanation doc goes into a lot of detail on what the Perl is actually doing which is quite educational if you aren't a Perl guru. Dai, thanks for sharing the tip and script with our readers.
This is for the brazilian security community. I will give a talk about SANS ISC and security threats in the Colaris (Conferencia Latino Americana de Resposta a Incidentes de Seguran�a ) Security Conference in Brazil next week as part of the FIRST Technical Colloquium.

I will be speaking in the second day (Oct 10th) and will be a pleasure to talk to those that want to meet me there. For english information click here .
Folks, as is our policy here at the Internet Storm Center, once we feel we've raised awareness of an issue by raising infocon to yellow, we move it back to green (otherwise, with the constant release of exploits of unpatched vulnerabilities, infocon would stay at a heightened level and become as meaningless as the DHS terrorist threat level). Normally, we do this after 24 hours, but in this case, since we didn't raise infocon until Saturday, we felt we should wait until most folks had made it back to work on Monday before going back. That doesn't mean that there is no more risk. Quite to the contrary, until the vulnerabilities are patched, the risk remains high because we know there are many variants of the exploit in the wild as I type this. There were even Metasploit modules released over the weekend, so it doesn't take much talent at this point to create a new exploit. However, we feel that things have leveled off somewhat. We've published pointers to the workarounds in Saturday's story, so there isn't much more that we can do at this point other than remain vigilant.

Scala Macros: Let Our Powers Combine!
Compile-time metaprogramming has been proven immensely useful enabling programming techniques such as language virtualization, embedding of external DSLs, self-optimization, and boilerplate generation amongst many others. In the recent production release of Scala 2.10 we have introduced macros, an experimental facility which gives its users compile-time metaprogramming powers. Alongside of the mainline release of Scala Macros, we have also introduced other macro flavors, which provide their users with different interfaces and capabilities for interacting with the Scala compiler. In this paper, we show how the rich syntax and static types of Scala synergize with macros, through a number of real case studies using our macros (some of which are production systems) such as language virtualization, type providers, materialization of type class instances, type-level programming, and embedding of external DSLs. We explore how macros enable new and unique ways to use pre-existing language features such as implicits, dynamics, annotations, string interpolation and others, showing along the way how these synergies open up new ways of dealing with software development challenges.

Here's how you can win a limited-edition bag of Lay's Golden Grounds
by Christian Saclao January 17, 2022, 4:02 am
Lay's is celebrating the football fandom with a first-of-its-kind lineup of NFL-inspired chips called Golden Grounds.
Representing the legacy of 29 beloved NFL teams from across the U.S., Lay's Golden Grounds chips feature the same classic Lay's taste that fans have loved for more than 75 years, but are made with a special nod to all NFL teams.
Lay's took soil from the home grounds of the NFL teams across America, and under the careful watch of its farmers, mixed them into separate parts of an actual potato field to create chips infused with the grounds and the glory of each NFL team. The limited-edition bags also feature keepsake packaging decked out with NFL team colors and logos. To introduce Golden Grounds, Lay's enlisted the help of Jerry Rice, one of the most legendary NFL players to ever step foot on the field.
Lay's Golden Grounds won't be available for purchase at stores, but fans will have the chance to win a bag of these chips for themselves by joining an online sweepstakes until January 25th.

Q: Javascript - return value is not considered an integer I have a problem with the returning value of the test function.
This is the code:
$(document).ready(function () {
    $("p").hide( test );

    function test() {
            return 5000;
    }
});

After a bit of research a found the parseInt() function. But it didn't work.

*

* try with parseInt():

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("p").hide( test );

        function test() {
            return parseInt(5000, 10);
        }
    });

* try with parseInt():

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("p").hide( parseInt(test, 10) );

        function test() {
            return 5000;
        }
    });

I know I could just type:
$("p").hide( 5000 );
But that function will get more complex after resolving this problem.

A: You are not executing the function:
$(document).ready(function () {
    $("p").hide( test() );  // note the additional ()

 function test() {
  return 5000;
 }
});

Q: Why isn't our c# graphics code working any more? Here's the situation:
We have some generic graphics code that we use for one of our projects.  After doing some clean-up of the code, it seems like something isn't working anymore (The graphics output looks completely wrong).
I ran a diff against the last version of the code that gave the correct output, and it looks like we changed one of our functions as follows:
static public Rectangle FitRectangleOld(Rectangle rect, Size targetSize)
{
    if (rect.Width <= 0 || rect.Height <= 0)
    {
        rect.Width = targetSize.Width;
        rect.Height = targetSize.Height;
    }
    else if (targetSize.Width * rect.Height >
        rect.Width * targetSize.Height)
    {
        rect.Width = rect.Width * targetSize.Height / rect.Height;
        rect.Height = targetSize.Height;
    }
    else
    {
        rect.Height = rect.Height * targetSize.Width / rect.Width;
        rect.Width = targetSize.Width;
    }

    return rect;
}

to
static public Rectangle FitRectangle(Rectangle rect, Size targetSize)
{
    if (rect.Width <= 0 || rect.Height <= 0)
    {
        rect.Width = targetSize.Width;
        rect.Height = targetSize.Height;
    }
    else if (targetSize.Width * rect.Height >
             rect.Width * targetSize.Height)
    {
        rect.Width *= targetSize.Height / rect.Height;
        rect.Height = targetSize.Height;
    }
    else
    {
        rect.Height *= targetSize.Width / rect.Width;
        rect.Width = targetSize.Width;
    }

    return rect;
}

All of our unit tests are all passing, and nothing in the code has changed except for some syntactic shortcuts.  But like I said, the output is wrong.  We'll probably just revert back to the old code, but I'm curious if anyone has any idea what's going on here.
Thanks.

A: If Rectangle.Width and Rectangle.Height are integers, the following two lines differ:
rect.Width = rect.Width * targetSize.Height / rect.Height;
rect.Width *= targetSize.Height / rect.Height;

The first line performs a multiply, divide, cast-to-int, then assignment, in that order.  The second performs a divide, cast-to-int, multiply, then assignment.  The problem is, in your non-working code, your divide is being casted to an integer before the multiply.
Keep the original code or force the division to be floating-point.
Write better unit tests to check for this issue.  (Try a width/height combination which do not have even multiples (e.g. prime numbers).)

A: Sounds like you don't have sufficient unit tests :]
Unfortunately, your statement
"Nothing in the code has changed except for some syntactic shortcuts"
is wrong, and I'm guessing that's where your problem is.  (It's certainly one of your problems!)
Yes,
a *= b;

is equivalent to
a = a * b;

but
a *= b / c;

is NOT the same as
a = a * b / c;

instead
a *= b / c;    // equivalent to a = a * (b / c)
a = a * b / c; // equivalent to a = (a * b) / c

(See c# operator precedence on msdn)
I'm guessing you're running into trouble when your target height is not an exact multiple of the original rectangle height (or the same for the width).
Then you'd end up with the following sort of situation:
Let's assume rect.Size = (8, 20), targetSize = (15, 25)
Using your original method, you'd arrive at the following calculation:
rect.Width     = rect.Width * targetSize.Height / rect.Height;
//             = 8          * 25                / 20
//             = 200 / 20 (multiplication happens first)
//             = 10
// rect.Width  = 10

Using your new code, you'd have
rect.Width    *= targetSize.Height / rect.Height;
//            *= 25 / 20
//            *= 1 (it's integer division!)
// rect.Width  = rect.Width * 1
//             = 8
// rect.Width  = 8

which isn't the same.  (It get's worse if the target size is less than your original size; in this case the integer division will result in one of the dimensions being 0!)
If "[your] unit tests are all passing" then you definitely need some additional tests, specifically ones that deal with non-integer multiples.
Also note that your calculation
else if(targetSize.Width * rect.Height >
        rect.Width * targetSize.Height)

isn't reliable; for very large rectangles, it has the potential to overflow and give you incorrect results.  You'd be better off casting to a larger type (i.e. a long) as part of the multiplication.  (Again, there should be some unit tests to this effect)
Hope that helps!

A: To add to Daniel L's answer.
What is the point of this 'optimization'?  There are better ways to clean up this code, and make it more readable.

Net Online Casino Malaysia Gambling Ban Reappears in House
Another Internet gambling prohibition bill is making the rounds. The House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday voted 34-18 in favor of a bill that would ban the use of credit cards for online wagering.
This is the second time in less than a month that an online gambling prohibition bill has been on the House's agenda. Late last month, Rep. James Leach of Iowa tried to attach an Internet gambling provision to the anti-terrorist bill introduced in the wake of the September 11 attacks.
That provision was removed at the last minute, but many industry insiders did not expect it to disappear. And this latest development seems to indicate that it didn't go very far at all.
The current bill, known as the "Unlawful Internet Gambling Funding Prohibition Act of 2001" (HR 556) was introduced by Leach in February 2001. Leach has argued that Internet gambling is "the single easiest way to launder money," and has been pushing hard to make it illegal.
Leach's bill prohibits the use of credit cards, checks, and electronic fund transfers to in online wagering, and it would hold banks responsible if they knowingly allow violations of this legislation.
The new version of the bill does, however, include an amendment that excuses Internet service providers (ISPs) and telecommunications companies from any wrongdoing for facilitating online wagering traffic. Another major carve-out in the bill is games of skill, which include fantasy sports leagues and 'educational' games.
Leach has managed to secure Online Casino Malaysia considerable support for his bill over the past year. House Financial Services Chairman Michael G. Oxley (R-Ohio) commented in a prepared statement that the proposed legislation "will protect our financial system and give financial criminals one less place to hide."
As the vote indicates, however, support for the bill was hardly unanimous. Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts suggested that it is not the federal government's responsibility to police gambling activity or oversee the way in which people spend their money.
Financial institutions aren't very happy about the proposed legislation, either, because much of the responsibility for policing this bill falls squarely on their shoulders. And some industry experts don't think that is a reasonable expectation.
Richard Hunter, managing vice president of business analysts Gartner Inc., noted that it would be possible for banks to screen known gambling sites, but that it is quite easy for these companies to disguise a casinos' identity by using a different corporate name.
He also suggested that the proposed legislation would likely not be very effective at stopping money laundering, and that the U.S. federal government may actually be more concerned about lost revenue and drains on productivity rather than reducing funding for terrorist organizations.
The current version of the bill includes civil and criminal penalties for online gambling, including fines and prison terms of up to five years. Federal and state attorneys general would also be able to launch lawsuits against online gambling providers.
In related news, Rep. Bob Goodlatte reportedly plans on November 1 to reintroduce his anti-gambling bill. Goodlatte's camp has said that this version of the bill, which failed to pass last year, has been modified to "keep pace with new technologies." No further information on the revisions was offered.
Stay tuned to WINNERonline.com for details on both pieces of legislation as it becomes available.

Title: Full-Tilt-Poker toto hk – Current Leaders September 7th


1. By the doctrine of the last clear chance, a negligent defendant will be held liable to a negligent plaintiff if the defendant, aware of the plaintiff's peril, had in fact a later opportunity than the plaintiff to avert an accident. But, where, as a result of the negligent operation of a railway motor car by defendant's agent, with plaintiff's acquiescence or encouragement, the car was derailed and plaintiff injured, their courses of conduct were not so independent that either one or the other could be said to have had in fact a later opportunity to avoid the consequence of their joint negligence, and the doctrine was therefore inapplicable. P. 275 U. S. 241.
2. Instructions in such a case held sufficiently favorable to the plaintiff on the subject of contributory negligence. P. 275 U. S. 242.
Certiorari, 271 U.S. 69, to a judgment of the circuit court of appeals which reversed a judgment entered on a verdict in the district court in favor of the railway company in an action for personal injuries brought against it by Ellzey. The jurisdiction of the district court was based on diversity of citizenship.
Respondent, a United States deputy marshal, was assigned to guard Merchant, a telegraph lineman employed by petitioner, from violence by strikers. He went with Merchant to repair a telegraph line, and, while returning with him on a motorcar over petitioner's railroad, the car was derailed and respondent injured. Respondent brought the present suit in the District Court for Western Louisiana to recover his injuries. The trial by jury resulted in a verdict and judgment for the defendant, the petitioner here. The Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, 12 F.2d 4, reversed the judgment, holding that an instruction to the jury by the trial judge was erroneous.
"If you should find that, in this case, the plaintiff urged, directed, or counseled the driver of the car to run it at a reckless and high rate of speed, and that, as a result of such reckless running, [of] the car was injured, then that would be contributory negligence which would bar his recovery, or if he saw that the car was being negligently run, in such a manner as, with the knowledge that he had before him at the time, a man placed in his position must reasonably have known that to continue in the situation he was in was dangerous, without protesting or desisting and removing himself from the perilous situation at the earliest possible moment, then that would be an act of omission which would contribute to the injury, and would in law constitute contributory negligence."
Suburban Ry., 207 U. S. 302. . . . The plaintiff's right to recover was not barred if his negligence was only a remote cause of his injury and Merchant's negligence was the sole proximate cause of it."
This language suggests that the circuit court of appeals thought this case to be governed by the doctrine of the last clear chance. That doctrine, rightly applied in the Chunn case, amounts to no more than this, that a negligent defendant will be held liable to a negligent plaintiff if the defendant, aware of the plaintiff's peril or unaware of it only through carelessness, had in fact a later opportunity than the plaintiff to avert an accident. Grand Trunk Ry. v. Ives, 144 U. S. 408, 144 U. S. 428; Inland & Seaboard Coasting Co. v. Tolson, 139 U. S. 551, 139 U. S. 558. In the cases applying the rule, the parties have been engaged in independent courses of negligent conduct. The classic instance is that in which the plaintiff had improvidently left his animal tied in a roadway, where it was injured by the defendant's negligent operation of his vehicle. Davies v. Mann, 10 M. & W. 546. It rests on the assumption that he is the more culpable whose opportunity to avoid the injury was later.
On the facts assumed by the circuit court of appeals -- that Merchant was driving the car recklessly with respondent's encouragement or acquiescence -- the respondent and Merchant were engaged in a common venture which, acting together, they were carrying on in a careless manner. In such a case, their courses of conduct are not sufficiently independent to let it be said that either one or the other had in fact a later opportunity to avoid the consequences of their joint negligence. Compare St. Louis & San Francisco Ry. v. Schumacher, 152 U. S. 77; Wheelock v. Clay, 13 F.2d 972; Kinney v. Chicago Great Western R. Co., 17 F.2d 708; Denver City Tramway Co. v. Cobb, 164 F. 41.
"or if he saw that the car was being negligently run in such a manner, as with the knowledge that he had before him at the time, a man placed in his position must reasonably have known that to continue in the situation he was in was dangerous, without protesting or desisting and removing himself from the perilous situation at the earliest possible moment, then that would be an act of omission which would contribute to the injury, and would in law constitute contributory negligence."
"would not be held to have assumed the risk of an injury resulting from the defendant's negligence merely because the plaintiff failed to interpose his judgment against that of the defendant, unless you find that a man of ordinary care and prudence, so situated, would have abandoned the car."
We think these instructions and others of similar import, read as we must read them in the light of the whole charge, were sufficiently favorable to the respondent on the subject of contributory negligence. Perhaps it would have been permissible to tell the jury that, though respondent had at an earlier moment encouraged or acquiesced in Merchant's recklessness, he might still recover if, later and before the accident, he repented and asked Merchant to drive carefully. But the court's failure to do so in the absence of a specific request seems to us not to be ground for reversal.


From late 19th Century, they have been one of London's symbol. Their main typical features are bay windows, Flemish brick bonding, sash windows, front porches. Inside they are appreciated for their high ceilings, original features such as marble or stone fireplaces, coloured floor tiles, stained glass. They offer also a front and a rear garden. After refurbishment, they all provide same floorplan with front room and dining room, often converted in large unique reception room, rear extension with a large and full of light dining kitchen area, 3 double bedrooms and additional loft conversion. When converted in separate flat, the garden can be shared. Tip: even with similar floorplans, size of Victorian houses may vary from as much as 20-30%, depending on the area. Better check before deciding that your large dining table will definitively fit in the dining room.
Mostly sought after by families who appreciate a garden, the charming and peaceful terraced streets and the possibility to extend them according to their needs and budget. You will find converted Victorian houses in all residential areas in London such as Fulham, Clapham, Ealing, Chiswick, Dollis Hill.
In London, French word «maisonnette» doesn't stand for «small house» but it is a two levels flat located in a converted house. You won't have any garden if you rent a maisonnette.

In the Introduction, the author explains that the book was designed to support the curriculum of the Institute of Risk Management (IRM) certificate in risk management. That may explain any of the sections that read a bit 'stiff' or 'cut and dry' given the complexity and subjectivity of modern supply chain uncertainty.
Fundamentals of Risk Management makes clear that -like other enterprise initiatives and disciplines - risk management changes and evolves over time. In addition, there are multiple levels of risk, including the 'everyday' instability we deal with as individual professionals or encounter in our personal lives as well as overarching risks like the financial crisis or terrorism. How we deal with those risks require us to draw upon instinctive survival-based responses (flight) and also opportunistic (fight) reactions that allow our companies to benefit from risk situations with potential upside.
The sections from the book that I appreciated the most were those that addressed "risk culture". This culture is a combination of shared perception, aligned behaviors, and commitment to the cause of risk management. A risk culture doesn't just form; it requires active engagement from leadership. Be sure to review the table on p. 287 that reviews common risk management program implementation barriers and recommended actions.
There is a clear correlation between risk culture and risk maturity, and Hopkin defines four levels of risk maturity: naïve, novice, normalized, and natural. Communication plays a critical role in this maturity progression, and therefore establishing a shared or standard internal risk terminology to facilitate understanding ensures that the enterprise approach to risk management is consistent.
Also of particular interest is the discussion about Sarbanes Oxley in the chapter on risk reporting. It highlights the critical divide between requirements that increase the confidence of the public/investors and those that actually change the priorities of executive leadership.

Congratulations to DC's newest class of graduates! We are so proud of our young students in our Toddler and Preschool classes, who are moving onto the next stage in their lifelong journey of learning.
This year's graduation was themed after Dr. Seuss's Oh, The Places You'll Go!, a perfect way to celebrate the limitless potential of our students as they grow to be all they can be. We honored students and their families with a special ceremony held at Busboys and Poets on 14th Street and a reception on the playground at Martha's Table. At the ceremony, students entered the stage, sunglasses on, and sang a duo of musical numbers. Afterward, parents took the stage to congratulate the students and speak to the immense growth of their own children.
It has been a true honor to watch these students grow from infants to toddlers as they've progressed through our program, developing new skills and learning to believe in themselves. "These students are entering pre-kindergarten with a solid foundation to grow from. Our teachers have spent the past few years with them building literacy and cognitive skills, as well as working with parents, who are a child's first teacher," says Beatriz Barros, Assistant Director of the Healthy Start program.
Although we'll sorely miss spending time with each of our graduating students, we know they're ready for their next big adventure!

Q: Docker "/bin/bash" could not be invoked when mounting an NFS file with -v on openstack I'm running an Ubuntu 14.04 instance that has docker installed on openstack. I'm trying to mount a volume into a docker container. I'm doing this with
docker run -t -i -v /mnt/data/dir:/mnt/test ubuntu

Where /mnt/data/dir is an NFS shared directory. Doing this gets me:

docker:
          Error response from daemon: Container command '/bin/bash' could not be invoked..

However, using a local directory instead of a mounted directory works exactly as expected.
I understand that docker doesn't natively support an NFS mounted file system, however the errors I googled are usually not of the form that I've mentioned above.
Any clue on how to proceed
Edit: I forgot to mention that its not just limited to /bin/bash could not be invoked. I tried running a tomcat server and that gave me the exact same error.

Opening of the London Recruits section of the Liliesleaf Farm Museum, Rivonia
Liliesleaf Farm Museum visit 6 March 2015
Liliesleaf Farm at Rivonia was the birthplace of MK and of the armed struggle. On 6 March 2015, some of the London Recruits went to South Africa, by invitation, to attend the official opening of a small section (or 'exhibit' as it is called there) of the museum devoted to our story. This coincided with the opening of a section devoted to the history of MK, the armed wing of the liberation movement. The event was attended by former President Kgalema Motlanthe, several former government ministers such as Sydney Mufamadi, Essop and Aziz Pahad, veteran MK activists, academics, etc. The meeting was addressed by Bob Newland for the Recruits, the Cuban Ambassador, a former GDR Ambassador and Ronnie Kasrils, who sent most of us London Recruits on our missions.
The actual truck used by London Recruits for the "Africa Hinterland" arms-smuggling operation is part of the exhibition. Here are some photos and speeches connected with the visit.

Our Child & Family Center is open from 9am-6pm, or we see families at home and in the community.
We believe the EVERY child deserves to grow up feeling safe an loved, so we are fighting the immediate and lifelong impact of exposure to abuse and violence on young children.
Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health have been the foundation of the Center for Child Counseling's mission in Palm Beach County since being founded in 1999. We focus on the youngest children in our community because research shows that this period of life is one of critical importance, providing the foundation for health throughout the lifespan.
Our programs and expertise are grounded in research about early brain development and the impact of adversity and trauma on development. Violence, abuse, and neglect in the earliest years of life are forms of "toxic stress'' that can fundamentally change the developing brain, in the absence of healthy relationships. Secure, stable, supportive relationships between children and caring adults in the family and community contribute significantly to children's healthy brain development by buffering the brain from the damage due to high stress.
We believe that every child deserves to grow up feeling safe and loved. We need your help to make sure they do.
We have locations all over Palm Beach County through our partners in the community. We can also see families in the home or have sessions with children while they are in school.

Shenmue III Steam Release Will Happen 'In The Future'
By Jenni Lada June 11, 2019
Deep Silver has provided an update on Shenmue III's exclusivity arrangements on PCs. The official website's Faq section now addresses the issue in its Preorders area. While yesterday's appearance at the E3 2019 PC Gaming Show noted it would be an Epic Games Store exclusive, the official website says, "Shenmue 3 will be released on Steam in the future."
While the Steam release is confirmed, Deep Silver has not noted what this will mean for Kickstarter PC copies. When asked about it, the official Twitter account is repeating the message, "All questions regarding the Kickstarter campaign should be directed to [email protected]." The Kickstarter page itself only mentions a PC copy of the game.
As for physical copies, Deep Silver has confirmed that any PC physical copies will come with an Epic Games Store code. This was brought up in two responses on Twitter. The account noted, "PC Physical copies will come with a code for the Epic Games Store."
Shenmue III will come to the PlayStation 4 and PC on November 19, 2019.

(These include a PS4, Switch, Xbox One, WonderSwan Color and even a Vectrex!) You may have also seen her work at GamerTell, CheatCC, Michibiku and PlayStation LifeStyle.


If you were a clever student at school, then you might know that Ad Vitam is Latin for "Eternal Life", but maybe you're just a dedicated goth with a passion for electronic music like this Mexican duo that was formed by Agnella and Benjamin and featured on Machineries Of Joy. This is indeed the famous compilation on Out of Line, which appeared in 2001. After a hiatus, Agnella and her brother Carlos are back with a brand new EP The Crush.
Memories is splendid electropop, and for once this description is important, because electro pop and are present in the same degree. Soul is danceable, but it gets darker because of the strange twists you hear in Agnella's voice.The most interesting song is the title track The Crush, that includes an irresistible guitar line with a Clan Of Xymox feel.
One thing is certain: Ad Vitam is not a typical South American band because the duo has an European sound (Flesh On Flesh is somewhere between Die Form and The Dust Of Basement).
Four irresistible tracks that are begging for one thing only: a full album!


It seems that these are the only phrases the locals know. I can honestly say that this is more than I know in Burmese at this point.
I found this questioning amusing after a while and would often play with people and respond with the same question, which would crack locals up laughing as they didn't expect this – much fun and many laughs. A joke and smile always cracks the ice.
Flying AirAsia (USD$148 return) from Bangkok to Yangon was the only option.
At the time of travel in July 2014, overland borders were closed, although you can obtain a 2-week stopover, which only allows travel in the close vicinity of your entry point.
As we wanted the full 28-day visa to explore more of the country, then flying in is the only way to obtain this length of time.
Although Burma was opened up more to tourism back in 2011, many areas are still closed, due to fighting. Tourists are not really free to travel everywhere.
Take the 3-hour loop train at 14:25 from Yangon train station, which leaves from Platform 7 (200K – purchase ticket on the platform) – think this train leaves about 4 times per day, at 2-hour intervals.
Whereas many of Yangon's city streets are relatively clean (or at least there's an effort towards 'clean'), as you leave the station and beyond, the train backs onto poverty-stricken villages.
For the better part of the 3-hour journey, you will experience a birds-eye view and just a tiny taste of how the 59 million Burmese (population of 60 million) living in poverty, subsist.
The squalor that surrounds tiny and decrepit thatched wooden huts, which appear abandoned until a head peers out or a baby runs to the door, will affect even the most hardened of travellers.
Some habitats are little less than a crudely thatched roof, no walls, and only plastic or a tarpaulin to keep the weather out. Don't forget, Myanmar also has a wet season so subject to daily torrential rains, which is right now.
One of the most famous Pagodas in the world is Shwedagon and it's not hard to see why.
This spectacularly impressive Buddhist monument sits at 99-metres' high, atop of Singuttara hill, which can be seen by day from most places of Yangon. By night, Shwedagon's golden roof illuminates the city.
Although documented proof does not exist, some believe the pagoda is 2,600 years' old, which makes it the oldest pagoda in the world. Historians believe the Pagoda was built between the 6th and 10th centuries, by the Mon people.
In Burma, Shwedagon is referred to as "The Crown of Burma." When you visit, you'll understand why.
The main gold-plated dome is topped by a stupa containing over 7,000 diamonds, rubies, topaz, and sapphire. This display of opulence is offset by a massive emerald, which is positioned to reflect the last rays of the setting sun.
You can't help but be awe-inspired and also saddened, as it is a shame that just a small amount of this opulence isn't spent on the locals, which are in dire need of most things.
After Day 3 in Burma, my observations are that if you're a tourist, Burma is expensive.
There is a tourist price and a local price for everything. Depending on the service or attraction, the tourist price can be 10 times the local price.
Sometimes it feels that the locals believe tourists are approaching dollar signs – they smile warmly whilst ripping you off. The government certainly does a good job of this…there are billboards everywhere stating "Look after our tourists and make them welcome" and "Warmly Welcome & Take Care of Tourists". On the flip side, the government fleeces a tourist's purse at every opportunity!
Depending on who is telling the story, the money goes straight into the General's pocket or to the dilapidated infrastructure in dire need of rebuilding.
I haven't seen much evidence of the dilapidated infrastructure being attended to yet and the extreme poverty suggests otherwise.
Major sites display a "Foreigners only" gate and a "Locals only" gate, which is how foreigners are charged exorbitant entry fees and locals enter for free; it's almost like an Apartheid.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind paying a fee, it's just the amount – USD$10 to enter a Pagoda or USD$6+$2 camera fee to see the gilded balancing rock is a tad steep, especially on the falling Australian dollar. And if you're on a budget or have been travelling for a while, then it becomes very expensive very quickly, and you decide whether to see the site or not. I don't want to return home after only 3-months of travel.
The saving grace is that you are only granted a 28-day visa for Burma. As a long-term traveller, doubt I could afford to stay longer.
You can still eat cheaply here if you stick to the street hawkers, which are everywhere. Like many parts of Asia, everyone is selling something on the street. Whether it's 3 eggs in a tiny basket, small amounts of Durian (smelly fruit), a scattering of Rambutan, Samosas, spring rolls, or other local delights…there's always something on sale.
Everything is cooked up on the roadside or street amidst traffic exhaust fumes and chaos.
You notice many homeless people in Yangon and the poverty is quite confronting. This reminds me of the poverty I saw when I travelled in India for a month in 1985.
There's no shortage of children upwards of 2 years' old running up to you with their hand stretched out asking: "moni, moni" – gut-wrenching.
This market is known for its inner cobblestone streets and colonial architecture.
The guide books sell this market as a major tourist destination. I've learnt that this statement typically signifies higher prices. Don't expect too many bargains on available antiques, Burmese handicrafts, jewellery, clothing, and in the art galleries.
If you feel the urge to buy jewellery or gems and have some spare cash lying around, talk to Daw May Win of the Nine Special Gems & Jewellery (A-40 East, Central Hall).
Although I didn't buy anything, Daw speaks perfect English and her prices are very good for gems and gold. Unlike many Government Certified vendors in this market, Daw owns her own shop and trades differently, and loves to talk to foreigners!
Arrived late in Yangon on the first night, so didn't venture too far from our 'basic' guest house. Only finding a local rowdy restaurant/bar close by, decided on a meal at this place.
Staff running around everywhere. A noisy ambiance. Patrons making a clicking sound in their mouth to get the waiter's attention, and most staff avoiding us as they don't want the hassle of English-speaking foreigners.
The waiter delivers the menu with excitement and is very helpful, which signified to me that perhaps not many tourists dine at this establishment. To my surprise, the menu is in Burmese with English subtitles.
Ordering one "noodles, vegetables, and chicken" and one "rice, vegetables, and flesh", the plates arrive piled-high with delicious unknown contents. Neither of us can place the taste of "flesh" or "chicken" in the meals.
Anyway, we're in the middle of eating the meal when a phlegm goblin decides to clear his lungs (thought he was going to lose one) and throat, then continued to spit on the restaurant floor right behind us.
This was to become the first of many lung-clearing episodes in Burma! Locals (men and women) chew a lot of Betel Nut, which not only stains their teeth red, also creates much more mucous – so I'm told.
The plethora of street vendors selling food is the most I've seen in any SE Asian country so far.
Almost child-like tiny tables and stools are set up early each morning for breakfast. Some stalls stay the whole day and into the night, others just stay for breakfast, or lunch, or dinner.
It seems that everyone in Yangon feasts at these tiny mobile stalls along the roadside.
Amongst passing traffic, fish balls are fried.
Typically, the stalls' quality and price is exceptional. So, don't pass these by as you'll be missing out on varying arrays of delicious local delicacies. Try a stall along any walk in this city – you won't be disappointed!
No one in Burma accepts USD notes or local currency notes if they are creased, a little soiled in any way, with bent corners, slightest pen mark, logos scratched, or marked in any way; and any other excuse that can be invented on the spot!
In other words, banks, money changers, and many stores only accept pristine crisp almost new notes. Although, there doesn't seem to be an issue with locals dishing out crappy dirty notes, which is quite annoying.
Each time someone gives you change, check your notes. Hand anything back that's not in good condition…insist, otherwise, you'll be left with a wad of useless local cash.
I'm not sure why Burma is so bent on pristine notes of both currencies, does anyone know the reason for this?
At the time of writing, all ATMs in Myanmar charge 20,000K for a 2,000,000K withdrawal, which is on top of what your local bank at home charges. Some banks limit withdrawals to 1,000,000K at one time, which earns the bank even more revenue.
To help other travellers that may be reading this blog, leave me a comment below if you found a bank that does not charge for a withdrawal.
These charges do add up whilst travelling and frankly, who wants to pay banks to make more billions in profit? I would rather spend this money with the local people.
Myint Myat Guest House (No 30 / 40 Boykoke Street, Pazantaung Townships) – Friendly helpful staff but average accommodation and the first introduction to Burma's service.
Booked with Agoda and requested a quiet room on booking, but received a very noisy room as the window was fronting the communal, breakfast, and computer areas. The room was complete with a thin curtain, which only provided minimal blackout at night as the communal lights stay on until after midnight.
Although this guest house advertises free wifi, this was non-existent as it's the "rainy season". There are 2 communal PCs but you have to wait for one to become free, sometimes for over an hour. However, staff will let you use the office PC, if required.
Good breakfast of fresh coffee, toast, jam, butter (and also served a fried egg, 2 out of 3 mornings) is included in the room's price.
Travelling through Burma gives you the sensation of being swallowed up deeply into time, then spat out abruptly, 40 years in the past.
Especially after travelling through Thailand, which presents such a stark difference between these two countries on almost all levels – some good, some not so good.
Although the accommodation is expensive and below average in Burma, people are super friendly.
There are still some places where a tourist is a novelty, especially with children, which is refreshing.
For now, it's on to Mawlamyine by bus – George Orwell's home for some time in the past. I believe this is not a well-traversed tourist destination, so hoping it's not as busy as Yangon.

Wow, Nilla, this post was really educational. It would have definitely been a real eye-opener traveling throughout Burma. I can't believe they won't accept bent or creased notes from tourists though!! Sadly there is definitely a segregation between locals and tourists over there.
Thank you and glad I can show people another side of travelling.
Absolutely gorgeous! We are contemplating Burma as our next adventure (curiously, this is solely on the insistence of our three-and-a-half year old!) and this post gives me so many ideas!
Hi Amelia, it's a country of contrasts and one that tugs at the heart. I have more posts on Burma if you need some tips.

Talk Back of 'The Miseducation of Cameron Post'
Wednesday January 20 2021 • 11:05am - 11:05am ET
Join us for a free screening of the brand new film, The Miseducation of Cameron Post. Then, stay for a 30-minute Q&A — hosted by Nancy's Kathy Tu and Tobin Low — with director Desiree Akhavan, Mathew Shurka, survivor and co-founder of the Born Perfect Campaign, and actors John Gallagher Jr., Jennifer Ehle, and Forrest Goodluck.
Cameron Post (Chloë Grace Moretz) looks the part of a perfect high school girl. But after she's caught with another girl in the back seat of a car on prom night, Cameron is quickly shipped off to a conversion therapy center that treats teens "struggling with same-sex attraction." At the facility, Cameron is subjected to outlandish discipline, dubious "de-gaying" methods, and earnest Christian rock songs—but this unusual setting also provides her with an unlikely gay community. For the first time, Cameron connects with peers, and she's able to find her place among fellow outcasts.
Writer/director Desiree Akhavan (Appropriate Behavior) and co-writer Cecilia Frugiuele sensitively adapt Emily Danforth's acclaimed eponymous coming-of-age novel and create a refreshingly original teen movie. Balancing out inherent drama with understated humor, The Miseducation of Cameron Post looks at a teenage girl grappling with pain and loss, as she creates a family on her own terms and learns what it means to gain confidence in her own identity.

Although Tabor Oak is of fairly limited applicability to urban forestry in California, it can be usefully utilized in open growing situations, like parks and arboreta. Test growing of Q. ithaburensis has occurred in California, with the trees shown here in southern California. The experience suggests that Tabor oak is tricky to grow in nursery settings, but have good survivability. It's just that training the trees requires a fair amount of work.
