Q: How to make my columns stack on top of each other using media quires I'm struggling to figure this one out. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.  My aim is when the screens less then 700px the content will go change to a block display from the current side by side columns. But currently my columns just stay side by side. I managed to get it to work in jsfiddle but cant get it to do anything other then narrow together in sublime text.

Chunghie Lee and Jiyoung Chung at Smithsonian Craft2Wear, at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. Chunghie's BoJaGi designs are featured in the background.
I'm always delighted by the serendipitous moments in my life. It's though the Universe has sprinkled magic dust, thrown me the perfect wave, or created a breadcrumb trail to my next discovery. A few days ago, I had the unexpected pleasure of meeting two very talented and accomplished artists, Chunghie Lee and Jiyoung Chung, in a wonderful moment of serendipity. Chunghie and Jiyoung are multidisciplinary artists, educators, authors—and both have introduced traditional Korean fiber arts techniques to new audiences, inspiring contemporary reinterpretations in a variety of applications.
Our chance meeting occurred at Smithsonian Craft2Wear, which I attended with a friend, on a whim. My friend and I had been catching up when I showed her photos of one of my latest projects—a lacy example of Joomchi, a Korean paper art where layers of mulberry paper are combined through a technique similar to felting. Imagine my surprise when a few minutes later we ran into Jiyoung Chung—the woman who introduced Joomchi to the U.S.! I recognized her face from her photo in the book she authored, Joomchi & Beyond, which has become my Joomchi bible. Jiyoung was at Craft2Wear to support Chunghie, who was exhibiting her amazing BoJaGi designs (wearable sculpture!).
That is when I discovered Chunghie's book, BOJAGI & BEYOND II—another must for my library. BoJaGi is a traditional Korean wrapping cloth, which is typically comprised of fabric that is embroidered or created by patchwork. It is the patchwork BoJaGi that resonates with me. I have been enamored of patchwork and stitching since I was young. While I have used stitching in many of my works, I have used it sparingly. Chunghie has inspired me to combine my favorite forms and materials with more stitching (a riff on BoJaGi). I'm experimenting right now, with the goal of finding the right combination of materials and methods to support my next installation.
It was a great pleasure to meet this dynamic duo—the mother-daughter team responsible for influencing countless other creatives in many places around the globe. I hope that the Universe will bring us together again some day!
Has your practice or life been influenced by serendipity? Feel free to respond in the comments below. I'd love to hear about your luck in making discoveries through chance.
My lacy Joomchi spiral is a work in progress. I cut a sheet of mulberry paper into a spiral design of holes, then applied the Joomchi method to combine two sheets of paper. Joomchi involves the use of water and agitation by a method of folding, twisting and squeezing the paper. I was introduced to Joomchi through a workshop at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, taught by Saaraliisa Ylitalo and then was further inspired by Jiyoung Chung's Joomchi & Beyond.

A 23-year-old Right-to-Carry permit holder was waiting for a bus after work when a trio of armed men attempted to rob him. One of the thieves put their hands inside the permit holder's pocket and stole $220. The permit holder responded to the robbery by drawing a gun and firing at the criminals, striking two and causing all to flee. The two wounded robbers were captured by police while seeking medical attention at a nearby hospital.
A 27-year-old man armed with a gun entered a rental office in the Eastside section of Indianapolis, Ind. and attempted to rob the 75-year-old woman inside. The woman's 73-year-old husband was in another part of the building at the time, but became aware of the robbery and retrieved a gun. Coming to his wife's defense, the husband fired at the criminal, striking him several times and putting an end to the threat.
A 14-year-old was at home with his younger siblings when a pair of home invaders entered the house. The 14-year-old responded by rounding up his siblings and moving to a closet, where he armed himself with his father's rifle. When one of the criminals discovered the armed teen, he fled along with his accomplice.

Looking back on 10 years of infra coverage
As we near publication of our special anniversary issue, we look back on five of Infrastructure Investor's biggest stories over the past decade.
Hindsight is a blessing, so when we started trawling through a decade of Infrastructure Investor coverage (that's right, we celebrate our 10th birthday this year), we set ourselves a task: to identify stories for each year of publication that were not only impactful at the time we ran them, but which foreshadowed trends to come – many of which are now playing out.
So how good were we at predicting the future? Not too bad, if you'll forgive us the immodesty (and the hindsight).
Ahead of the September publication of our special Decade anniversary supplement, here's a sneak peak of five of the top stories over the past decade that will be featured.
Parking pains – In our July/August 2009 issue, we wrote about how the Morgan Stanley-led $1.15 billion lease of Chicago's 36,000 on-street parking meters had "provoked anger, vandalism and legislation". A decade later, the deal is still a fountain of discontent for every stakeholder that is not the winning consortium (read more about it here and here). With sustainable investment a hot topic today, Chicago Parking Meters stands out as a cautionary tale.
There's a price to be paid – In November 2011, we wrote that public opposition to privately financed infrastructure did not "tend to cause investors many sleepless nights". Except if you were Allianz Capital Partners' former chief executive, Thomas Putter, who was already seeing the writing on the wall: "[Infrastructure investors] are now part of a mechanism that will force these assets to be paid for. We'd better be very careful about how we explain this." The fuse having been lit, the "social dynamite" he referred to eight years ago is, in some places, appearing ready to blow. Just look at the Labour Party's nationalisation agenda in the UK.
The renewables headache – "A victim of its remarkable success," is how we termed Europe's renewables sector in our September 2013 issue. We were reflecting on a "never-ending string of retroactive measures" set off by the then Spanish government to turn back the clock on its generous feed-in-tariff framework (and ballooning electricity tariff deficit). Sadly, Spain's measures inspired a slew of European governments to follow suit. They also set the stage (alongside rapidly plunging costs) for the shift towards a subsidy-free market we are living through today.
The emergence of mid-market muscle – Four years ago, we examined our H1 2015 fundraising figures to find the "emergence of the mid-market", as it was headlined in our August 2015 issue. We noted that "infrastructure has not yet developed a large and thriving group of mid-market managers in the way that other asset classes such as private equity have". Well, things have certainly changed since then. The problem now, in fact, is that the mid-market appears to be getting somewhat muddied, with many sector funds doing ever-larger deals as their own sizes balloon. Another example of style drift as the asset class attracts record amounts of capital?
GIP closes Fund III on $15.8bn – "Global Infrastructure Partners has closed its third unlisted global infrastructure fund on $15.8 billion, beating Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III's $14 billion 2016 close to become the asset class's biggest unlisted infrastructure fund," we wrote in our March 2017 issue. We'll see if history repeats itself later this year, when both firms are due to close their fourth flagship funds (each looking for around $20 billion). What GIP III did (aided by Brookfield III a few months before) was announce that infrastructure mega-funds had well and truly arrived. It also highlighted a couple of ongoing trends: growing manager consolidation; and investors' increasing appetite for the asset class. Case in point: in 2017, average fund size stood at $870 million; in the first half of this year, it climbed to $1.88 billion – a more than two-fold increase.
Here's to the next 10 years.

Ivory Coast Killers Made Victims Shout 'Allahu Akbar' Before Shooting Them
SIA-KAMBOU/AFP/Getty
Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.
The jihadist terrorists who open-fired on tourists at a beach resort in Côte d'Ivoire Sunday forced victims to shout out "Allahu Akbar" (God is great) before shooting them, according to eyewitnesses.
The six gunmen, now identified as members of the Islamist terror group Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), carried out their killing spree Sunday morning outside three hotels in the beach town of Grand-Bassam, killing 16 people before being neutralized.
Al-Qaeda called the attackers "heroes" for the assault on the resort.
Witnesses said that the terrorists were young men, in their thirties, and a military official said that the gunmen "forced their victims to scream 'Allahu Akbar' before shooting them" while they themselves did the same.
During their rampage, the gunmen killed at least 14 civilians and two members of special forces, leaving the beach littered with bloody corpses before they could be taken away by security forces and Ivorian Red Cross workers.
One tourist was reportedly trying to make a call on his cell phone when one of the assailants came up from behind him and shot him in the head, while simultaneously yelling "Allahu akbar."
The men were reportedly heavily armed with different sorts of weaponry. One witness, a Lebanese national who was staying at the Étoile du Sud Hotel, said that one of the attackers was carrying a Kalashnikov assault rifle and wore a grenade belt.
All six assailants were eventually killed.
Sunday's attack was the latest in a series of jihadist assaults on luxury hotels popular with Western tourists, with attacks in recent months in the capitals of neighboring Mali and Burkina Faso leaving dozens of people dead.
As in the Ivory Coast attack, Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb also claimed responsibility for the lethal attacks in Mali and Burkina Faso in November 2015 and in January this year.

Power & Purpose | Asia's Most Influential HK
Edgar Cheung Ka-long
For leading Hong Kong's greatest ever Olympic performance
Few Hongkongers have ever rocketed to household name status as quickly as Edgar Cheung Ka-long after his historic gold medal in fencing at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. The 24-year-old athlete was responsible for scenes of hysteria in Hong Kong malls, as crowds gathered under large screens to watch his nail-biting victory. After trailing 1–4 at the start of the final match, he fought back against Italian Daniele Garozzo to win with a score of 15–11. This year, the top fencer won bronze in the men's individual foil at the Fencing World Championships in Cairo, Egypt.
The bronze was also Hong Kong's first medal in the men's event, following Cheung's semi-final loss to Tommaso Marini of Italy.
Characteristically humble, Cheung described the Olympics as "one of the many tournaments", and took care to emphasise that he is still the same person, despite bringing home Hong Kong's second gold since Lee Lai-shan was crowned Olympic champion for windsurfing in 1996. "Perhaps the only difference is more people recognise me when I walk on the streets and they ask to take photos with me. Other than that, everything remains the same,' he says. For Cheung, it's simply onwards to Paris 2024.

Cesare Prandelli's Italy team go into tonight's World Cup qualifying clash against Denmark having already secured their passage to the 2014 Brazil showpiece with two games to spare, but the Azzurri will need to fare better than they did against this evening's opposition in 1981 if they are to get a result away in Copenhagen.
Italy's only encounter against the Danes in World Cup competition to date - a qualifier in June of that year - ended in a 3-1 defeat, but that result was the their sole loss ahead a competition that they would subsequently go on to become champions of: the 1982 FIFA World Cup.
The Denmark team Enzo Bearzot's side came up against that day is now legendary amongst the nation's fans, with Preben Elkjaer Larsen, a decisive player in Hellas Verona's historic 1985 Scudetto triumph, and 1977 Ballon d'Or winner Allan Simonsen amongst those who took to the field.
But it was also a squad that had strength in depth, and in fact it wasn't even those two names on the scoresheet that day in 1981: Kim Roentved, Frank Arnesen and Lars Bastrup netted to a solitary reply from Francesco Graziani.
Italy manager Bearzot picked six Juventus men to face the Danes, with Dino Zoff in goal, Claudio Gentile and Antonio Cabrini as the wing-backs, Gaetano Scirea and Marco Tardelli in midfield and Roberto Bettega up front.
And with the exception of "Bobby-gol" Bottega, who was unfortunately sidelined by an injury picked up against Anderlecht in the Champions' Cup, all those Bianconeri would go on to play a key part in the glorious 3-1 victory against West Germany that saw them lift the World Cup in Spain.


Devoir is a very common French verb with irregular conjugations and an unusual relationship to some of its English equivalents.* Devoir has several meanings related to obligation, supposition, and expectation.
Tu dois finir ce projet. You must finish this project.
Je dois partir à 14h. I have to leave at 2pm.
Sylvain doit travailler tard. Sylvain must be working late.
Tu dois être fatigué. You're probably tired.
Je dois arriver vers midi. I expect to, I should arrive around noon.
Anne doit téléphoner demain. Anne is supposed to call tomorrow.
Tu dois découvrir la vérité. You're bound to discover the truth.
Il devait le gâcher un jour. He was bound to screw it up one day.
Many of the above examples could fit into other categories, so how do you know which meaning is the right one? As always, it depends on context. When you want to make sure that the meaning you want is the one others get, you need to do a bit more work.
To specify that something "must" happen, strengthen devoir with something like absolument, à tout prix, impérativement, or vraiment.
Tu dois vraiment finir ce projet. You really must finish this project.
Je dois partir à 14h à tout prix. I have to leave at 2pm no matter what.
To say that something "should" happen, soften devoir by using it in the conditional.
Tu devrais finir ce projet. You should finish this project.
Je devrais partir à 14h. I should leave at 2pm.
*Whereas devoir is a fully conjugable verb, two of its common English equivalents – must and should – are modal verbs, which have just a single form.
Devoir plus a noun means "to owe."
Je lui dois 5 euros. I owe him 5 euros.
Tu me dois une explication ! You owe me an explanation!
Il a fait son devoir. He did his duty.
Il a fait ses devoirs. He did his homework.

US should supplement TPP by inking treaties with China,India, says former US diplomat
Like China, India is not content to live in perpetuity in architecture largely built by the West," the former Bush era official said.
By: AP | Washington |
The US must not abandon the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and should supplement it by negotiating bilateral investment treaties with China and India to respond to the growing Chinese activism in Asia, a former US diplomat said. Evan A Feingenbaum, the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, in the latest issue of the Foreign Affairs magazine, said, "What the United States should be encouraging is a liberal, open, market-based economic order in the region. And the TPP by itself would not have been enough, in any case."
Watch what else is making news:
Feingenbaum, who also played a key role in negotiations over the India-US civilian nuclear deal, also said that instead of repealing TPP, the incoming Trump Administration should supplement it with a direct trade deal with both India and China.
"Rather than abandoning the deal, Washington should be supplementing it, by negotiating bilateral investment treaties with China and India to open up their economies to US firms and to support economic reformers in both countries; pursuing public-private partnerships to get US businesses involved in infrastructure development across Asia; striking specific agreements to open up markets in the service and technology sectors, where the United States excels; and seeking new pacts in areas such as fishing and environmental standards for China's Belt and Road project," Feingenbaum said.
"Doing so would mean that Washington was helping set the agenda, not merely reacting to Chinese proposals," he argued. "It is also worth noting that China often succeeds at its efforts to reform global institutions and build pan-Asian groups because its demands mesh with those of India, an increasingly close US partner," he argued.
For example, India helped found the AIIB and now ranks as its second-largest shareholder, he said. "Despite their suspicion of Chinese power, officials in New Delhi tend to agree that new forums act as a needed counterweight to unrepresentative global institutions. Like China, India is not content to live in perpetuity in architecture largely built by the West," the former Bush era official said. He also warned that the United States should not force its allies into a binary choice between Beijing and Washington on issues that are not vital to US national security or to the national security of its allies.
"In the South China Sea, where China is challenging maritime law and customary practice, such pressure is necessary. But China's financing of a commercial railway or power line is not a comparable threat," he said. It is in Asia, not in global institutions, that the United States faces its toughest choices about how to respond to China's growing activism, he said.

JK Rowlings' Fantastic Beasts Trailer
Eddie Redmayne's stage fright on latest Harry Potter film
23rd Oct 2016 2:19 PM
EDDIE Redmayne got "complete stage fright" using a wand in 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'.
The 34-year-old actor - who plays magizoologist Newt Scamander in the JK Rowling-penned movie - admits he was incredibly nervous about picking up a wand to use on set.
He said: "It was so weird. Because when you get to pick up a wand, your inner nine-year-old is having the best moment of his life. 'Oh my god. I get to use one of these!'
"And then you pick one up and go, 'Oh. Why does this feel so weird? What do I do with it?' I got complete stage fright!"
And Eddie loved being able to meet up with JK Rowling to discuss the character but admits he was a little "in awe" of her.
He added: "I was lucky enough to meet her just before we started filming. At that point I was so in awe of her. I wanted to be all, 'Lovely to meet you!' but we only had an hour so I just went, 'So, Newt?'
"You can ask her anything. Any detail from the smallest nuance. She is so in love with her characters. By that point I'd done so much work on who Newt was, and it was two people just talking at each other. It was so helpful."
There was one thing the father-of-one - who has four-month-old daughter Iris with his wife Hannah Bagshawe - wanted to perfect for his role as Newt - the walk.
He told SFX magazine: "When [JK Rowling] describes Newt walking through the streets of New York, she describes him as walking to his own rhythm. There's a Buster Keaton vibe quality, she wrote. So I actually decided to work with this guy called Alex Reynolds who's a dancer by trade. Newt has a unique physicality that was very specific to him."

Jun 15 What does "Guiltless" by dodie mean?

May 12 What does "Neon Gravestones" by Twenty One Pilots mean?
"Neon Gravestones" is probably the hardest and the most controversial song on Trench; the thoughts and ideas in this song are worth considering, even if you find that you disagree in some way, you still need to consider what's being said here, because it is interesting, important, and dare I say it could even be life-changing.
May 8 What does "Smithereens" by Twenty One Pilots mean?

Establishment Blues
By Ed Driscoll 5:07 PM on May 14, 2011
I've been fond of quoting former Saturday Night Live writer Anne Beatts' phrase that "You can only be avant-garde for so long before you become garde." If there's any surer sign that the sixties generation has become garde, it's this:
ALEX LONG: The Freewheelin' Judiciary: A Bob Dylan Anthology. "This paper, presented as part of a symposium on Bob Dylan and the Law at the Fordham University School of Law, explores the ways in which judges have used the lyrics of Bob Dylan in their opinions."
Plus, in the L.A. Times: In some courts, Dylan rules.
Or that Rolling Stone magazine and AARP's magazine seem increasingly like identical products.
In his must-read essay "Establishment Blues," Walter Russell Mead lays out some of the causes as to the impact of the Boomers running the asylum, and concludes:
The French aristocrats laughed at the manners and the morals of the common people and ridiculed the faith that lit the darkness and softened the harsh conditions of ordinary lives. Enlightened and cosmopolitan, the establishment mocked the attachment of the ignorant peasants to the king. The well educated, well connected elites accepted no limits on their ability to convert their social privilege into personal wealth; they accepted no limits on the gratification of their physical desires — flaunting their romantic affairs in the same spirit in which they feasted at Versailles while the gaunt peasants starved. They used and abused to the fullest all the privileges that came with their status while mocking and rejecting any sense of duty and obligation.
It was fun while it lasted.
Of course, that analogy is a reminder that things might not automatically get better when the current aristocracy surrenders their power, either through age or through the ballot box. It's not a coincidence that Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism effectively begins with the French Revolution, which he dubbed "the first totalitarian revolution:"
Whatever else it may have been, however, one thing is clear: the French Revolution was the first totalitarian revolution, the mother of modern totalitarianism, and the spiritual model for the Italian Fascist, German Nazi, and Russian Communist revolutions. A nationalist-populist uprising, it was led and manipulated by an intellectual vanguard determined to replace Christianity with a political religion that glorified "the people," anointed the revolutionary vanguard as their priests, and abridged the rights of individuals. As Robespierre put it, "The people is always worth more than individuals…The people is sublime, but individuals are weak"—or, at any rate, expendable.
But then, that sounds very much like today's current Ruling Class Left, and it's a reminder that our culture wars are as much about class as they are about the historic divide between Democrats and Republicans. Check out this quote from CNBC's mad money man, Jim Cramer, as highlighted earlier today by Glenn Reynolds: "I was very anti-Bush. I'm a Democrat, I've got the canceled checks to prove it, and suddenly I'm the enemy? Me? Me?"
But of course you are. Recall that when Obama gave his infamous Bitter Clingers tirade in 2008, he was referring to the Democrats who supported Hillary — who presumably were just as anti-Bush as Cramer. And concurrently, as the Pennsylvania Democratic primary was going on, this infamous quote from veteran author turned film director Nora Ephron at the Huffington Post, who didn't seem to mind that she was attacking half her potential audience:
This is an election about whether the people of Pennsylvania hate blacks more than they hate women. And when I say people, I don't mean people, I mean white men. How ironic is this? After all this time, after all these stupid articles about how powerless white men are and how they can't even get into college because of overachieving women and affirmative action and mean lady teachers who expected them to sit still in the third grade even though they were all suffering from terminal attention deficit disorder — after all this, they turn out (surprise!) to have all the power. (As they always did, by the way; I hope you didn't believe any of those articles.)
To put it bluntly, the next president will be elected by them: the outcome of Tuesday's primary will depend on whether they go for Hillary or Obama, and the outcome of the general election will depend on whether enough of them vote for McCain. A lot of them will: white men cannot be relied on, as all of us know who have spent a lifetime dating them. And McCain is a compelling candidate, particularly because of the Torture Thing. As for the Democratic hope that McCain's temper will be a problem, don't bet on it. A lot of white men have terrible tempers, and what's more, they think it's normal.
As Jennifer Rubin noted at the time at Commentary:
The Left is losing it. Not the election. Just any semblance of sanity. From one Barack Obama fan we learn, "This is an election about whether the people of Pennsylvania hate blacks more than they hate women." And these are Democrats, mind you.
Also around that time, Jim Geraghty spotted another left-on-left freakout, when the pro-Obama left Alinskized Hillary Clinton and her supporters (only to welcome Hillary back into the family as Secretary of State a few months later):
In and of itself, it's shocking, but it's otherworldly when we think about what Hillary Clinton has meant to liberals for most of the past sixteen years.Maybe Bill Richardson owes James Carville money, because that would help explain the bitter jihad the former Clinton strategist seems to be on, so relentlessly decrying the New Mexico Governor as "Judas" that Richardson stopped doing media appearances. It didn't take much for Obama-backing General McPeak to declare Bill Clinton the equivalent of Joe McCarthy. And if you've read any Hillary vs. Obama thread on a liberal blog lately, you know that there have been friendlier back-and-forth exchanges in snakepits.
There's something vaguely reassuring about all this, from the view of sitting on the right. It reveals to conservatives that the nastiness exhibited in our earlier disagreements with these folks was never personal; these people are clearly nasty to anyone who disagrees with them. Geraldine Ferraro's long service to the Democratic party means nothing to many Obama backers; she's a racist, "David Duke in drag," as Rhodes put it. I'm sure Senator Patrick Leahy thought his decades of work on the left side of the aisle had bought him some street cred from feminists, but no, he was called sexist when he called on Hillary to leave the race.
Hillary gets called a "monster" by Obama's surrogates; Hillary's surrogates wonder out loud if Obama ever sold drugs. Today Clinton surrogate Ed Rendell speculates that Americans know only half the story of Barack Obama. Day in, day out, in this race it continues.
Is there nastiness on the right? Sure. But it's hard to imagine somebody being the equivalent hero to the right the way Hillary was a hero to the left, so suddenly and severely pitched overboard – no, that's not it, denounced and demonized — when somebody else came along.

Responding to Meade, Ace writes:
The "elite" is so scornful of the public they've decided they will not even lower themselves to learning our vernacular and by speaking our language, to trick us; instead, they will just ignore us completely, at least until such time as we raise ourselves up to their level (and at that point, of course, they will not have to persuade us even then, for we will have learned enough to see their wisdom and call it our own).
You can see this demonstrated in just a short eight years, comparing the manners of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Bill Clinton surely counted himself among "the elite," but he was willing to speak in the vernacular of the ordinary American in order to move them in his direction.
Compare that to Barack Obama, who visibly bristles at lowering himself to such a vulgar level. We shall either appreciate his (and his class') erudition and genius, or we will suffer in the darkness without it; but either way, he will not diminish himself to pay lip-service to the values of the commoners.
An Easter proclamation from the White House? How obscene. We shan't be debasing ourself so.
As Mead says about the elites' open contempt of patriotism in a country known for its patriotism: "This will not end well."
There are a few cracks starting to form, though it's far too soon to tell how they'll play out. But to paraphrase the title of a 2009 book by Harry Stein into vernacular of one man who had second thoughts, a lot of people on the left will soon be saying to themselves, "I can't believe I'm watching a f***ing play by an F*** Republican:"
Mamet had been brought to campus by Hillel, and the subject of his talk was "Art, Politics, Judaism, and the Mind of David Mamet." There wasn't much talk of Judaism, however, at least not explicitly. He arrived late and took the stage looking vaguely lost. He withdrew from his jacket a sheaf of papers that quickly became disarranged. He lost his place often. He stumbled over his sentences. But the unease that began to ripple through the audience had less to do with the speaker's delivery than with his speech's content. Mamet was delivering a frontal assault on American higher education, the provider of the livelihood of nearly everyone in his audience.
Higher ed, he said, was an elaborate scheme to deprive young people of their freedom of thought. He compared four years of college to a lab experiment in which a rat is trained to pull a lever for a pellet of food. A student recites some bit of received and unexamined wisdom—"Thomas Jefferson: slave owner, adulterer, pull the lever"—and is rewarded with his pellet: a grade, a degree, and ultimately a lifelong membership in a tribe of people educated to see the world in the same way.
"If we identify every interaction as having a victim and an oppressor, and we get a pellet when we find the victims, we're training ourselves not to see cause and effect," he said. Wasn't there, he went on, a "much more interesting . . . view of the world in which not everything can be reduced to victim and oppressor?"
This led to a full-throated defense of capitalism, a blast at high taxes and the redistribution of wealth, a denunciation of affirmative action, prolonged hymns to the greatness and wonder of the United States, and accusations of hypocrisy toward students and faculty who reviled business and capital even as they fed off the capital that the hard work and ingenuity of businessmen had made possible. The implicit conclusion was that the students in the audience should stop being lab rats and drop out at once, and the faculty should be ashamed of themselves for participating in a swindle—a "shuck," as Mamet called it.
It was as nervy a speech as I've ever seen, and not quite rude—Mamet was too genial to be rude—but almost. The students in Memorial Hall seemed mostly unperturbed. The ripples of dissatisfaction issued from the older members of the crowd. Two couples in front of me shot looks to one another as Mamet went on—first the tight little smiles, then quick shakes of the head, after a few more minutes the eye-rolls, and finally a hitchhiking gesture that was the signal to walk out. Several others followed, with grim faces.
It was too much, really. It's one thing to titillate progressive theatergoers with scenes of physical abuse and psychological torture and lines like "You're f—ing f—ed." But David Mamet had at last gone too far. He'd turned into a f—ing Republican.
Mamet mentioned a screenplay that he hopes will soon be produced involving a young rich girl who applies to Harvard. When she's rejected she suddenly declares herself an Aztec to qualify for affirmative action. Presumably high jinks ensue. A new two-character play opening in London this fall, The Anarchist, is a "verbal sword-fight" between two women of a certain age, one a veteran of 1960s radicalism, jailed for life on a bombing charge, and the other a reactionary prison governor from whom the aging radical hopes to receive parole. Regardless of the play's true merits, we can expect the word didactic to get a workout from critics.
After reading The Secret Knowledge in galleys, the Fox News host and writer Greg Gutfeld invented the David Mamet Attack Countdown Clock, which "monitors the days until a once-glorified liberal artist is dismissed as an untalented buffoon." Tick tock.
Which should be a fascinating demonstration of the much-vaunted leftwing tolerance in action. Everyone who is a conservative, libertarian, and/or Republican who has any sort of collection of movies knows that the 7/8ths of the directors and writers of the titles he owns are somewhere on the left. But so what? Give up the pleasures of Star Wars, Dr. Strangelove, Annie Hall, Apocalypse Now, and, prior to Mamet's conversion, The Untouchables and Wag The Dog?
But suddenly, ideology's about to matter a lot more to leftwing movie and theater goers. Or as happens to some artists, they'll only remember the pre-conversion films and plays, conspiring Mamet's future product to the dustbin.
But at some point, Hollywood might just have to come to grips that it's no longer a closed shop, as it has been for forty years.
Let's hope they do a better job of it than the world of journalism, and especially, academia, has.


As writers, many of us use our intuitions to get through much of our prose. While this might be a good thing where characterization, dialog, and storyline are concerned, it can also be a huge pitfall when it comes to proper punctuation use. Before formally learning all of the rules, for example, I based my own comma use on various canonical works I'd read. After all, the authors of acclaimed classics had to have gotten it right . . . right? Unfortunately, the answer to that is not always a "yes." Following are a few of the most common errors I see in other authors' writing.
Inattention to the adjectival phrase: An adverbial phrase's location in a sentence will determine whether you should use a comma between it and the main clause. An adverbial phrase is any cluster of words that modifies the main clause. It can determine how, when, why, or where the main clause is being performed.
Example [phrases and clauses labeled in brackets]: If the adverbial phrase comes before the main clause [adverbial phrase], use a comma [main clause]. Don't use a comma [main clause] if the adverbial phrase comes after the main clause [adjectival phrase].
Failure to use the Oxford comma when it really counts: There has been much debate recently on whether the Oxford comma should remain a grammatical rule. Many people have opted to drop it altogether; however, there are some instances in which it is absolutely necessary.
Example: "I'm going out later with my parents, Anna and Paul." The readers don't really know this, but my parents' names are not Anna and Paul. I'm actually going out later with four people: my parents, Anna, and Paul.
Take note that there are rare instances in which using the Oxford comma can create ambiguity, and in those circumstances, it should be eliminated.
Example: "I'm going to a movie with my mother, Carol, and Jesse." In this case, readers might mistake Carol for my mother, when she is one of two friends who will be joining my mother and me.
Using a comma to break up a list of two: This one should be a no-brainer, but I see it far too often. Even if the list is comprised of actions, never use commas unless that list contains three or more items.
Example: After we go to the store, we'll organize the kitchen, and make dinner [wrong]. After we go to the store, we'll organize the kitchen and make dinner [right].
Failing to use a comma when addressing someone: This is a problem I see often in dialog. Most of us have read the comical example, "Let's eat Grandma!" Unfortunately, far too few people actually heed the rule. Unless you're actually planning on eating Grandma, don't forget the comma.
Example of improper semicolon use in a participle phrase: When they got to the beach, they made a sand castle; taking great care not to knock it over [wrong]. When they got to the beach, they made a sand castle, taking great care not to knock it over [right].
Using commas in a list in which semicolons are more appropriate: Going back to the necessity of using commas in a list of at least three items (the debate over the Oxford comma aside), there are a couple of instances in which commas need to be replaced with semicolons. The first instance is when listing items that, in themselves, have commas. The second is when listing phrases that come after a colon.
Examples: We got up early yesterday, having set the alarm for five; ate a quick breakfast of eggs, toast, and juice; and got to the conference by seven. The group made the following mistakes: heavy use of grammatical errors; using numerous run-on sentences; and failure to use spell-check.
I still have the worse time understanding the comma. I feel at times, that the comma has a personal grudge against me. Perhaps I did something evil to it, or it's creator, in another life?
I just Googled it and learned that Italian printer Aldus Manutius invented the comma. I must have offended him in a previous lifetime - I'm not sure how, but apparently I stole his goat. I am posting a link to his biography / in hopes that he will forgive me / and we won't have to return the / mark called the "virgule" because I cannot see how that could possibly be better.
I feel bad for all the pain & abuse I inflict on the poor, little guy.
If I keep it up, we're going to have to agree on a Safe Word!
A very good list. The point about apposition and omitting the Oxford comma is one I used to make to my students, but I never thought about omitting it when it creates ambiguity in a list -- I simply recast the sentence -- but I like that idea and will keep it handy.
Many examples I read up there are lazy tongue writing styles. Punctuation serves some purposes but should be severely limited and should never be used to replace what words can accomplish.
Rather boring sentence there but nevertheless more entertaining.
Use of punctuation should be avoided whenever possible. This leads to more creative and more lively sentences.
While I appreciate your sentiment, Okpulot, this lesson was for the people who need to learn how to use commas, not how to avoid them. Would you call a math teacher lazy for teaching arithmetic simply because you understand calculus?
Commas, as opposed to math, are completely made up Leigh... Math is symbolic representations of logical structures, while commas are mostly stylistic rules somebody just made up and change over time. Writing itself is just a vague representation of spoken language, which is a symbolic representation of thought but it isn't science/math... not the right comparison.


The performances of Elliott Carter's chamber music at New England Conservatory on December 3rd stands out in the recent explosion of performances of his works as he approaches his 100th birthday. Though this performance will likely be overshadowed by the excitement surrounding the Boston Symphony Orchestra world premiere of Carter's Interventions on Friday, what the BSO cannot offer is the full scope of the entire career of one of the most prominent composers of the 20th century. The program at Jordan Hall juxtaposed Carter's early neoclassical pieces with some of his more familiar atonal works.
There were two fine performances in Brown Hall for a brief pre-concert program. Pianist Asher Severini performed Carter's Piano Sonata with relentless intensity. The following performance of Carter's String Quartet No. 4 by the Chiara String Quartet was poignant, and only occasionally shaky in some of the more delicate moments. Violist Jonah Sirota's tremendous tone quality stood out in the performance, even through the most complex passages.
Later that evening in Jordan Hall, members of the NEC wind ensemble performed the 1997 piece, Luimen. The particularly odd instrumentation of the piece, including two brass players, vibraphone, harp, guitar, and mandolin begs for a constant battle to keep the ensemble in balance. The conscientious performance of the brass allowed for the nuances of timbre through the dense rhythmic textures. The following performance of Sonata for Flute, Oboe, Cello and Harpsichord was well-delivered, with a particularly fine performance by oboist Amanda Hardy.
The NEC Chamber Singers, followed by the NEC Women's Chorus took the stage for two pieces from Carter's early neoclassical works. Musicians Wrestle Everywhere and The Harmony of Morning represent a style of writing rarely associated today with the composer- sounding with the influences of Copland and Hindemith. The performances were beautifully interpreted, contributing to a much larger sense of eclecticism than what would be expected on a program of works by a single composer. Another one of Carter's more tonally oriented, Canonic Suite, was featured after intermission. The piece for four alto saxophones was still quite different than other neoclassical pieces on the program, and offered some interesting sonic qualities through the coloristic nature of the instruments.
Through the shortest performance of the evening, Figment III, was quite memorable. The most recently composed piece on the program (2007) featured an astounding performance by bassist Donald Palma, ripe with energy, personality, and a sense of masculinity. Closing the program, Carter's Double Concerto for Harpsichord and Piano with Two Chamber Orchestras, featured soloists Stephen Drury and Yukiko Takagi. The performance of the chamber orchestra's was commendable, especially for a student ensemble. The percussionists were consistently precise, and showed immense musicianship in an extremely difficult piece. Equally impressive was the performance of Yukiko Takagi, who met and exceeded the challenge of not allowing the harpsichord to be swallowed by the rest of the ensemble.


$195.00 per carton of this size only. Special price but there is only one case available. Additional cases will be $332.00ea.
Clear Polycarbonate tube is a very durable material. Although it has high impact-resistance, it has low scratch-resistance and so a hard coating can be applied for added protection. Polycarbonate characteristics are quite like those of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, ACRYLIC), but polycarbonate is stronger, usable in a wider temperature range.
It comes in transparent and opaque varieties.
2016-01-25 It's fine but overpriced. Not thrilled on price by any means.
2014-05-15 Strong material. Shipping price high. Good service. Helpful.
2014-02-24 The website made it easy to order online with so many sizing options available. The polycarb was well protected when it arrived and was damage free. I had emailed asking for an update on the processing of my order, and the response took a while. I actually received the material the day after they got back to me. But all in all a good experience.
2014-02-20 Solid tubing, easy to use website. Would purchase again. I like that they pick up the phone on the first ring.
2014-01-28 If this isn't plexiglass, I sure as hell don't know what the difference could be. Better pricing, better shipping, and easy to restock.
2013-10-25 We love how easy it is to purchase off this website. Our orders always arrive on time and in mint condition. This is a great business to buy from.
2013-07-22 I just purchased 6 ft. of polycarbonate tubing elsewhere for about $12.00 and it is shipping today. I'll have to cut it but that doesn't take a rocket scientist to do it.
2013-02-27 You guys seriously have the best value when I order, just wish that you had a distribution center closer to me but it's worth it to wait.
2012-10-19 I bought a box of this for my custom autoshop, this stuff works great for LED light houseings. One thing though, call to ask for minimums as I was informed that the manufacturer has a large minimum!
2012-10-16 I used this to fill that annoying gap between my kitchen countertops and my refrigerator. This was so easy to order, plus I was updated when it shipped which was really nice. The best part was I could ask for a specific size so I didn't have to cut it myself!
2012-09-28 I am a 1st grade teacher and wanted something like this to use in the classroom for a project. I wasn't sure what size I needed to order so I called in and asked to speak to someone. I got transferred right to sales and the gentleman that helped me was so friendly and helpful! I loved that I wasn't transferred around multiple times and that they were able to help me right then and there. Very helpful and a quick process. Thanks!!
POLYCARBONATE TUBE - CLEAR Questions?


What is an Education and Career Action Plan (ECAP)?
An ECAP reflects a student's current plan of coursework, career aspirations, and learning opportunities in order to develop the student's individual academic and career goals. It is ideally started during middle school and updated every year throughout high school. It helps to personalize education and to maximize the opportunities available after high school graduation.
Who is involved in the ECAP planning process?
Students, parents, and school personnel must be involved in the process. When everyone understands the student's goals, supporting the student becomes easier and more effective. The plan must be reviewed with the student and parent annually. Signatures of participants validate this process.
How does the ECAP benefit the student?
Personalized planning helps students reach their academic and career goals and can positively impact their achievement. Students learn how to set and achieve goals. It helps them to understand how their education is relevant in achieving their career goals. It helps them to create a vision for their future and ultimately helps them assume responsibility for their own learning.
How much does it cost a school to implement the ECAP process?
There is no fixed cost to implementing ECAP. ADE provides a variety of resources free to all schools. One of the online career and college planning resources is the Arizona Career Information System (AZCIS) which is supported through the Career and Technical Education Department and community partnerships. Through this electronic system, students are able to assess and research their education and career interests, maintain a personal portfolio and design academic programs tailored to their needs. Some schools invest in special programs to supplement the AZCIS resources, so please check with your school.
Why do you want students to record their extracurricular opportunities?
Student academic achievement is positively linked to extracurricular involvement in clubs, activities, sports, community service, fine arts opportunities, and employment. These opportunities provide the chance for students to test their interests, develop team work and leadership skills, and to become involved citizens in their local communities. These experiences enhance college applications and scholarship opportunities. Potential employers also value these life experiences.
Is there a specific ECAP document we need to use? If so, where can I locate it?
The State Board of Education did not specify a format for the ECAP document. It is up to each district to determine how they will capture the required attributes. There are many examples of the documentation currently in use around the state. These can be found under the ECAP Counselor and Educator tab.
What should be done when a student transfers to another school?
Like a student transcript, the student ECAP should follow that student to the new school of attendance. It is important that the work completed at one school is not lost. It should be a valuable tool for registering an entering student. At a minimum, the student's career choice and academic plan should be reflected. If the student work is on the AZCIS system it is important that the student can access the information through the password process.


Last Friday, I got the enjoyable opportunity to visit MOVE, an interactive art exhibition where visitors can "discover art with their whole body". The exhibition is being held at K20 GRABBEPLATZ (Kunstsammlung NRW) from 19 July to 25 September 2011. So many times, I've visited museums or exhibitions and come out wishing that the whole experience could be more hands-on. Scrutinising fine art is a worthy pastime, but – dare I say it? – it can get a little old after a while, even for hard-core art enthusiasts. If you're thirsting for something different, I urge you to visit the MOVE exhibition that focuses on the relationship between fine arts, dance, movement and choreography since the early 1960s.
Whilst the raison-d'être of conventional exhibitions is for the visitor to view the art, this exhibition turns the visitor into the art and dancers encourage the visitor's choreographical participation in sculptures and installations. The aim is for visitors to become more self-aware and sharpen their perception of gravity and balance. Each exhibit will keep you on your toes: from exhibits such as William Forsythe's "The Fact of Matter", a "forest" of gymnastic rings that challenge the visitor to swing from one side to the other (and believe me, it's a lot harder than it looks, which probably explains the liability disclaimer!) to Mike Kelley's shocking but fascinating "Test Room Containing Multiple Stimuli Known to Elicit Curiosity And Manipulatory Responses", starring a pissed off gorilla and some rather emotional individuals, to Robert Morris' large wooden seesaw (or teeter-totter for you American readers) entitled "Bodyspacemotionthings", or a pile of hula hoops with a cheerful background video reminiscent of childhood memories.
The exhibition also features a major work by famous action painter Jackson Pollock – Number 32, 1950. The painting's production is documented by films shown in the exhibition's interactive, digital archive, which is a compilation of more than 170 recordings demonstrating the history of art and dance. This is located in the Schmela Haus and can be visited without a ticket to the main exhibition.

For the parents of murder victims, there is no comfort.
Olivia Singletary had to move out of Brookline after her adopted son, Perry Hughes, 19, was fatally shot there by a teenage murderer during a drug dispute. Singletary had lost another son to a car accident two years earlier.
Witnesses to Hughes' death told Singletary her son was trying to shield others from Antonio Fernandez, 16, and his friends, who had gotten into an argument over marijuana at a 2002 graduation party in a Brookline housing project.
"Perry was the one who stepped up to protect the crowd," said a tearful Singletary, who couldn't bear to be in the courtroom when evidence like her son's bloody clothes was presented to the jury.
"The loss of a child, you never get over that," said former Attorney General Tom Reilly, who pushed for tougher sentencing laws for juvenile murderers in the 1990's.
For parents of killers, especially teenage killers serving life with no chance for parole, there is wrenching anguish over whether they failed their child as he or she veered towards murder and the permanent loss of their freedom.
"I feel guilty. I could have helped him more," said an emotional Vong Oung, 46, discussing his son Kevin Keo, who was convicted of first-degree murder for a 2007 gang-related slaying in Lynn.
Keo is one of seven Massachusetts teens featured in an investigation published this week by the New England Center for Investigative Reporting which highlights profound inequities in the sentences handed down to Bay State teens charged with murder. The investigation reveals that a 1996 law aimed at punishing so-called teenage "super-predators" has been applied inconsistently over the past 15 years, sentencing some teens to life without parole who had no criminal backgrounds and who acted spontaneously. Meanwhile, other teen killers with serious criminal histories or who showed extreme cruelty to their victims were convicted of lesser degrees of murder and allowed to apply for parole.
Parents of some teens, like Oung, are racked with guilt over what they could have done differently to save their child.
Oung, a Cambodian refugee raised in Maine by an adoptive mother, said he erred by moving his family to Lynn, known for Asian gang problems, when Keo was a toddler.
"It's not like the place I grew up. I should not have brought him to live over here," Oung, a public school teacher, said.
Oung alternated between expressing guilt over being too tough on his son growing up to his failure to see signs of Keo's gang activity as he entered his teens. When Lynn police came to Uong's home following Christian Vargas-Martinez's murder, he let them in.
"I didn't think my kid had anything to hide. This boy was a smart boy. He could have gone to an Ivy League college," he said. During the search they found a gun hidden in Kevin's room.
"They say my son in a gang. I didn't see it," Oung said.
Visits to state prison are especially difficult. Keo, a skinny 20-year-old, told his father he has been beaten up by older prisoners. Oung brings along Keo's six and nine-year-old sisters for company.
Vargas-Martinez's family could not be reached for comment. The Essex County District Attorney declined a request for comment on Keo's case, which is on appeal.
For the parents of John Odgren, who is serving life without parole for the unprovoked 2007 slaying of a schoolmate, there is deep sorrow about not knowing about Odgren's deepening psychological problems.
His father, Paul Odgren, said he and his wife Dot were not told by school officials Odgren had brought a pocket knife or a toy gun to school before James Alenson's fatal stabbing.
Messages left at the Alenson's home and on a listed mobile phone for Alenson's father, were not returned.
Odgren, now 21, began exhibiting signs of a troubled mental state when he was a toddler, becoming inconsolable if his mother didn't pick him up and hold him. He was diagnosed with depression at age eight and also has Asberger's syndrome.
John Odgren attended a number of different schools as his parents tried to help him develop academically, but was mercilessly bullied, they said.
His parents' contact with him now is largely limited to visits to Bridgewater State Hospital, where he was placed following his conviction last year.


This is the ever-so glamorous look I wore to the salon to get my hair done. I was getting the whole shebang done and was heading straight to a wedding afterwards. So, I needed this outfit to be more functional than stylish. I opted for a button-down cardigan because it would avoid me having to take off my top over my head (potentially messing up my hair), and comfy shorts because I would be sitting for a while. The sandals were also strategic in that they would become my dancing-shoes later that evening. I had packed up my dress, shoes and make-up to finish getting ready at the salon. The timing was a bit tight, but I totally made it work. I even went as far as painting my nails while the hair dye was setting. Multi-tasker extraordinaire right here!
P.S. Be sure to check in for tomorrows post! The reveal will be worth the wait!

On the one hand, we have organisations like the Department of Kannada and culture, promoting the use of Kannada, and trying to avoid its being interspersed with words from other languages.
On the other, we have the everyday Kannada language, a vibrant and constantly evolving means of communication. However, one wonders if it is Kannada at all, sometimes… here's a message I saw in Adiga's on Kanakapura Road.
Only two of the words in this message are Kannada? It made me laugh!


So adorable!! The poms on the bottom give it that "extra" style I was looking for!! Looks great with the modem grey comforter I purchased as well!
Bed skirts make it possible to store items under your bed without interrupting the visual flow of your decor. This Nucifera linen bed skirt from the Copper Grove collection hangs from beneath your mattress to the floor to maintain a clean visual profile and help you to better organize your room with under-bed storage without sacrificing style.
This was so easy to put on my bed! I actually put this on my bed without having to unmake my bed and take off the mattress like I would have with a regular bed skirt. This is the perfect style and matches my quilt with pom poms perfectly. The bed that this is on is on the plastic risers and the bed skirt is long enough that it covers them. Would definitely recommend!
This is the cutest bed skirt with Pom Pom fringe on the bottom. The color and quality were exactly as described. I will say be careful not to step on Pom Pom fringe as they will fall off if you pull too hard.
this is not 18 inches deep. more like 12. they are counting the elasic, which you do not want to see. Also, once you open the package to look at the item, it is no longer returnable. Be warned! Now I cannot return this piece of junk and have to purchase another one. But never from this company!! Also, it is see thru sheer material. Piece of junk!!!
It's a very cute bed skirt, however it does not have split corners. I ended up taking it apart and making them myself. But otherwise I highly recommend it.
Second one of these we have bought. Super easy to put on and take off for cleaning. Hangs nice an long from the bed and you can adjust it easily. We have it in white and in taupe. Perfect product.
LOVE this! I was a little apprehensive, buying an adjustable/elastic bedskirt. (I never bought one before) Went on with ease- and looks great!! It is in a guest room, that being said- the bed is not used often. Not sure how well it would stay on for everyday bed use/making. Looks great though! Adorable with the pom-poms, great for a Shabby chic/farm country feel!
Pom Pom fringe! What could be cuter and what could be easier than an elastic bedskirt!!! This is a breeze to put on a bed. I got the queen size and it's easy to put on and take off. It holds up perfectly when washing (quick wash setting). I partially dry it, place it back on the bed and then straighten the skirt using my hands to ensure it doesn't dry with any wrinkles. Once fully dry it is crisp and yes, no wrinkles! CUTE!
Easy fit for my full bed. Pom poms are darling.
I love the pom pom detail on this bedskirt. We have received so many compliments! Bought it for my daughter's bed and it is perfect. We ordered the grey, which is more like a greige perfect for what we wanted but just FYI in case you need a darker grey.
I ordered this item in white, but when it came, it is more of an off white and did not match my bedding. It is also very thin and needs a liner. Sending back for a refund.
Really cute with the poms. looks great on the bed. I really love how easy it is to put on!
Too cute, and love that I can just pull it off to wash it. Don't have to remove mattress.
I love the look, super easy to put on. It does pull down.
Love! Love! Love! Fits perfectly and looks great. The Pom Pom fringe on the bed skirt adds the perfect touch of country charm. Also, thanks again to Overstock for the super fast shipping!
Adorable bed skirt. It looks perfect on my bed.
Very cute for my daughter's sorority room. Also love the matching valance.
GOOD FIT. WOULD RECCOMEND TO FRIEND.
I bought this to go with the Copper Grove Burrell blue cotton coverlet set. It adds a beautiful finishing touch. Also, since it's adjustible and fits around the mattress instead of under it, it is so much easier to use. Beautiful and dainty and perfect for a guest room or a girl's room. Very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend.
Great idea for a bed skirt and I love the tiny Pom poms. It is plenty large enough to cover three sides of the bed. I would have given this a five star rating but found it necessary to pin and secure this to the box spring. Being on elastic it can slide each time the sheets are changed if it is not secured. But since I hated removing one with the full fabric to clean it, I consider that a worthwhile trade off.
It serves the purpose of a nice dust ruffle with flare, however, it is hard to keep in place with daily bed making, might consider tacking it to the box spring.
"Has anyone used the Queen/King for a California King sized bed? If so, how was the fit?"
The Queen/King bed skirt would not fit a California sized bed/mattress.
"Does this actually fit OVER the box spring and the mattress sits on top or does it just wrap around the box spring?"
It does not fit over the boxspring, but is adjustable and fits around the mattress.
NEEDED A BED SKIRT THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO LIFT MATTRESS.
It will easily convert to fit and hide the rails if my custom bed.
"I want the more yellower color and don't know if that's ivory or camel since they're not labeled.. would anyone know which is the more yellow?"
I think the Ivory is more yellow than the Camel one it seems beige. I bought the white one for my little girl and it gives her room a great touch.
"Which one is the camel? And which one is the beige? They're not labeled.."

Q: Dynamic imports stopped working in Webpack v4 There is a lot of questions like this one (for example this one), and everyone says that the solution is just to install babel-plugin-syntax-dynamic-import.
But, in my case, I have it already installed. I had webpack@3 before, and it worked.
Now I'm upgrading to v4; just installed new version of webpack – and dynamic imports does not work anymore.

How is it possible? And how to make work again?

The PRO Series are Furman's top-of-the-line power conditioners. They provide the most complete and comprehensive protection from power line-related transient voltages, noise, and wiring faults available. Their many special features were designed specifically to provide maximum protection from the type of hazards faced by delicate digital pro audio and video equipment.
Power line disturbances are real, and they are inevitable. According to Consumer Reports (November, 1994), "One significant surge a day is the norm. High-exposure areas may experience perhaps a hundred smallish spikes a day." Proper protection is essential for costly equipment, even more so if it is frequently moved from location to location. But there is a wide range of differences in the performance available from the protection products available.
What sets the PRO Series apart from other conditioners is the quantity, quality, and configuration of the suppression devices used. These include MOV's, gas discharge tubes, fast-blow fuses, and high voltage inductors and capacitors. This unique combination can safely absorb and dissipate large spikes from nearby lightning strikes and other sources (up to 11,000 amps across any wiring mode - hot-neutral, hot-ground, or neutral-ground), as well as highly attenuate audible high frequency noise. Precise high-inrush magnetic circuit breakers avoid the false tripping often encountered with large reactive loads like power amps.
An additional feature, Extreme Voltage Shutdown, fights a hazard particularly common in the entertainment industry: wiring faults - for example, accidental connection to 220V. It senses voltages that are so high or low that operation would be impossible (under 80V or over 140V) and shuts the power down before damage can occur. LED status indicators ("Protection OK" and "Ground OK") monitor the integrity of the protection devices and grounding, and report if the protection is compromised.
There are three rackmount PRO Series models. The PL-PRO Power Conditioner/Light Module has the familiar slide-out rack lights pioneered by Furman. It also provides an accurate, self-checking AC voltmeter that not only measures normal voltages, but also flashes eye-catching special pattern alerts for off-scale but not extreme conditions (80-90 or 130-140 volts). A new feature exclusive to the PL-PRO utilizes microswitches to turn each light tube off or on automatically when pushed in or pulled out.
Multiple levels of protection components can safely absorb large spikes and provide highly effective RF filtering - the most comprehensive protection available anywhere!
