I am an artist working across differing media from small scale sculpture in gallery contexts to larger scale site-specific installation, from 3D to photography and film.
Recently I have exhibited a short film as part of Empire II, an artist led satellite project devised for the 2017 57th La Biennale di Venezia. Amongst others I have also exhibited site-responsive projects for Directional Forces: Colony 55 during the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013 at the Magazzini del Sale and at All Saints Church, Burmarsh for Art in Romney Marsh festival 2010.
I was a founding director of TangentProjects an artist led collaborative curatorial project between 2008-2012 with artists Karen Ay and Helene Kazan and curated the Trash Vortex project for the 2009 Hackney Wicked festival.
I am module tutor for the BA modules Art & Society and Photography in London and have contributed to teaching the MA Art & Visual Culture for the Production, Display & Discourse and Interpreting Space modules and supervised student dissertations for MA Museums, Galleries and Contemporary Culture.
I have also had the opportunity to be invited as guest lecturer/visiting artist to work with students on the BA Architecture at University of Kent in 2010 and BA Photojournalism & Documentary at University of Wales, Trinity St David in 2016.
In 2011 I gained my MA in Art & Visual Culture at the University of Westminster and returned to the Department of English, Linguistics and Cultural Studies in 2012 to begin part-time doctoral research.
My research, titled 'Finding the Material of Memory in Place' investigates the architecture and site of the Barbican in the City of London and employs the method of Deep Topography, a term originally termed by writer Nick Papadimitriou that places walking and close observation of sites at its heart, to draw on the sites architecture as archival and to determine the relationship between place and memory. The research seeks to take this method of research that normally manifests itself in writing and to employ it in the development of an artwork, the method is used as a research tool for analysing the site and its architecture, to address the Barbican as a site of memory, creating an artwork that might enable the audience to read an absence of the past in the current architecture and to make these absences felt.


The weather has turned a bit cooler here in Missoula – which is a welcome sight since the temps have been in the 90s for the past week or so.
On the air at 4:50 we'll be on AM 930, KMPT, and online at MissoulaOsprey.com, with a pre-game show including highlights from last night and a look around the Pioneer League. Over the next two days, pre-game interviews will include Brandon Marcus, the radio voice of the Orem Owlz, and Alex Herrenberger, a former Osprey catcher who is now the team's Video Coordinator.
The Osprey continue their four-game series with the Owlz as they look to improve on their 2-2 homestand, and gain ground on first-place Great Falls in the Pioneer League North Division race.
Rudy Flores hit a key two-run double with two out in the bottom of the sixth inning to help the Missoula Osprey snap a brief two-game slide with a 4-2 win over the Orem Owlz on Saturday at Ogren Park Allegiance Field. The 2,142 fans in attendance witnessed Welcome to the Major Leagues Night – where both teams wore the uniforms of their parent clubs, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. They were also witnesses to five double plays turned by the Missoula defense, including a strikeout-pickoff twin-killing that helped the Osprey seal the win in the top of the ninth inning. Flores hit a fly ball to left with two on and two out in the bottom of the sixth deep to left, which carried to the left-field fence then caromed away from left-fielder Joel Capote, allowing both Socrates Brito and Yosbel Gutierrez to score on the play, snapping a 2-2 tie in the sixth. The bullpen made the run-scoring double stand up, as both Chris Capper (2-1) and Justin Thompson kept things quiet enough to finish off the win. Thompson picked up his fourth save of the season, but it wasn't easy, as the first two batters reached against him to lead off the top of the ninth. However, Thompson managed to strike out Michael Bolaski, and catcher Michael Perez picked off Wendell Soto from first to get the first two outs on the board. Chevy Clarke would then fly out to center field to end the game. The Owlz took a 1-0 lead in their half of the first on a RBI single by Michael Snyder, but the Osprey responded with a two-run home half of the inning. Jake Lamb's RBI triple and a sacrifice fly by Perez to put the Osprey in front, 2-1. Orem would tie the game with a Capote RBI groundout in the top of the fifth. Lamb and Flores combined for four of the six Osprey hits on the night. Gutierrez and Evan Marzilli – who had reached on a base hit in each of his first nine games as a professional baseball player – added base hits for Missoula.
Missoula will send right-hander Chris Pack to the mound to continue to build his resume of solid outings. Pack (2-1, 3.99 ERA) won in his last start on Monday in Helena, allowing just two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out four batters in what was his shortest outing of the season. Pack has pitched into the sixth on each of his four other starts, and has a season-best outing of seven innings. Teams hit .226 off of Pack, with right-handers (.210) having a tougher time than lefties (.250). Pack is one of a handful of Osprey pitchers who had professional experience prior to this season, pitching for the Joliet Slammers of the Frontier League in 2011. Pack was a reliever for the Slammers, and helped them win their first-ever division title that season. The D-backs purchased the rights to Pack this past spring.
The Owlz will counter tonight with right-hander Jairo Diaz, who has been a workhorse this season for Tom Kotchman's pitching staff. Diaz (2-2, 4.71) has surrendered 19 runs in 21 innings pitched this season – only 11 of which were earned – but has given up only four walks in his four starts. Diaz has been solid at Brent Brown Ballpark, posting a 2.87 home ERA, but in one road start, gave up six earned runs (seven total) in a loss at Grand Junction. Diaz, from Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela, signed as a free agent in 2007, and started his 2012 season with Class A Cedar Rapids, where he was 2-7 with a 7.70 ERA in 13 starts.
The Osprey have a hit plateau to reach for when they want to win games – 11. On the eight times Missoula has collected 11 or more hits, they have an 8-0 record. Oddly enough, they are 0-4 when they finish with exactly 10 hits in a game. If they are under 11 hits in a game, they are now 6-12 on the season.
AZL D-backs Alumni Briefing: The AZL D-backs beat the AZL Royals on Saturday, 4-2.
DSL D-backs Update: The DSL D-backs picked up a game and are now just a game back of the DSL Rockies in the DSL Boca Chica Baseball City standings, beating the Rox 1-0 on Friday.
SS-A Yakima Alumni Briefing: The Bears beat Salem-Keizer on Saturday, 4-0. Josh Parr (2011) had two hits, while Victor Capellan (2009) pitched two shutout innings in relief to close out the game.
Class A South Bend Alumni Briefing: The Silver Hawks dropped a 5-3 decision at Clinton on Saturday. Chris Ellison (2011) had a solid effort, with a pair of doubles, a walk and three runs scored. He was also driven in each time by former Osprey – Matt Helm (2009-10) had two hits and two RBIs, while Ryan Court (2011) added a run-scoring single. JR Bradley (2010) took the loss, while Jesse Darrah (2011) provided 2 1/3 innings of shutout relief.
Class A Advanced Visalia Alumni Briefing: The Rawhide scored all of their runs in the middle innings as they won at San Jose on Saturday, 8-3. Raywilly Gomez (2009) singled, doubled and walked; while Ender Inciarte (2009) and Jon Griffin (2011) drove in runs for Visalia. Inciarte added a base hit (moving his average to .350 for the season) and a stolen base. Taylor Siemens (2011) picked up the win on the mound with six hits and a walk allowed, surrendering just one run while striking out eight batters. DJ Johnson (2011) pitched a scoreless ninth.
Double-A Mobile Alumni Briefing: Chris Owings (2009) and David Nick (2009) split four of the BayBears' eight hits in a 6-0 loss at Montgomery on Saturday. David Holmberg (2010) allowed all six runs – only three earned – in 5 2/3 innings pitched to take the loss.
Triple-A Reno Alumni Briefing: Adam Eaton (2010) went 2-for-4 at the plate as the Aces lost to Salt Lake, 4-3. Charles Brewer (2009) had a solid outing, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out three in seven innings pitched.

Tamil delegates interact with London Tamils, affirm support for genocide investigation
Concluding the three day global conference organized by the BTF and APPGT, politicians and civil society activists from the island and Tamil Nadu participated in an interactive session with an Eezham Tamil diaspora audience in London, on Friday. This event follows a meeting among the Tamil delegates in the British parliament on Thursday, where they had arrived at a consensus on the resolutions proposed on the day before calling for an independent international investigation into the genocidal war crimes of the Sri Lankan state.
The organizers of the conference expressed their condolences to Nadarajah Mathinthiran alias Parithi, a political organizer with the Tamil Coordinating Committee in France, who was assassinated in Paris on Thursday.
Pragasen Padayachi an activist working with solidarity groups in South Africa, said that the SA government and the ANC were giving mixed signals on the question of the Tamils. Calling the LLRC a joke, he opined that Tamils need to figure out the path forward.
Claiming that the talk of resettlement, rehabilitation and reconciliation is a farce in unitary Sri Lanka, Thirumurugan Gandhi from the May 17 Movement asked why the world powers that used one standard for South Sudan why not for Tamil Eelam. He also said that an international peace force not involving India, China, Pakistan and the USA should be deployed in Sri Lanka.
Saravanan from Save Tamils said that his organization would involve other youth organizations in India on the resolutions.
D. Raja and D Pandian from the CPI restated the commitment of their party to the democratic demands of the Eezham Tamils, Mr. Krishnaswamy from the Puthiya Tamizhagam party told the audience that he would take the resolution to the Tamil Nadu assembly.
Viduthalai Rajendran opined it was very important at the moment to understand the nuances of world politics and to make political moves accordingly.
TNA MPs Sritharan and Suresh Premachandran talked about the repression that the Tamils faced in the island. Mr. Premachandran was of the opinion that as much as Washington and London were important, Delhi was more important to the Eezham Tamils. Mavai Senathirajah of the TNA was also present in the meeting and responded to the questions raised by the participants.

Q: How can I set up my project hierarchy in QtCreator? I'm quite new to QtCreator, so perhaps I left my heart in eclipse-ville, but I can't for the life of me understand how I should be setting up a project hierarchy in QtCreator.  I understand there is an option to create a kind of root project and then from there add sub-projects to it, which makes sense but it leaves me wondering whether or not this is necessary at the time of creating the project, e.g. can I just create a library in one project and reference it later by another project?
I've tried setting up a blanket type of project by creating a new subdirs project and then adding the main program as a subproject, but then how should I add my library project?
Ideally, I'd like to create one project as the main application and reference another project as a library.  Help?

A: The documentation of Qt Creator contains two sections that may help you find the answers to your questions:

*

*Adding Subprojects to Projects

*Adding Libraries to Projects
EDIT:
You can find a really simple sample project here: QtSymbianDllExample. "It is intended to demonstrate how to create and use a DLL with Qt on the Symbian platform". It is a sample for Symbian development but that is irrelevant now, I do not have a Symbian phone. What is important is that it contains a root project (QtSymbianDllExample\qtssymbiandllexample.pro) and two subprojects (QtSymbianDllExample\qtenginedll\qtenginedll.pro, QtSymbianDllExample\testui_simpledllengine\testui_simpledllengine.pro) which you can examine and compare to you projects. I have checked that I can build the root project by doing the following steps:

*

*Download and install the Windows Offline Installer from http://www.qt.io/download/

*Download and extract QtSymbianDllExample.zip

*Run Qt Creator

*File / Open File or Project... Select qtssymbiandllexample.pro

*Build / Run qmake

*Build / Build project "qtsymbiandllexample"

The charity was co-founded in 2008 by Dr Claire Guest, who was the Training Director of the first study to train dogs to identify cancer in 2003 and published in the BMJ in 2004. Working in partnership with researchers, NHS Trusts and Universities the charity train specialist dogs to detect the odour of human diseases.
Cancer and Bio Detection Dogs are trained to detect the minute odour traces created by diseases. These tiny volatiles can be detected by dogs, at approximately one part per trillion, which is the equivalent of one teaspoon of sugar in two Olympic sized swimming pools! This offers the potential to detect illnesses much earlier, pioneering the way to speeding up the diagnosis and potentially saving thousands of lives.
Cancer and Bio Detection Dogs are being trained to detect many types of cancers, including Prostate, the most common cancer in men. Early diagnosis is the most effective way of tackling the disease and current tests by the charity are demonstrating the dogs can detect the urological cancer volatile organic compounds earlier and with greater accuracy. Medical Detection Dogs are also carrying out the first ever proof of principle study that breast cancer can be detected on a breath sample.
The research doesn't stop there, the team are also exploring the possibilities that dogs can detect other diseases such as Lung cancer, Parkinson's and Malaria.
Medical Alert Assistance Dogs are trained to help people living with complex medical conditions, including Type 1 Diabetes, Addisons, POT's and severe allergies. Dogs are trained to detect minute changes in the body, for example the blood sugar levels in someone living with brittle Type 1 Diabetes – they then alert the individual to a potential problem and even fetch the relevant medication. The dogs are a life-saving partner for someone with a life threatening medical condition.
It costs almost £12,000 to train a Medical Alert Assistance Dog and the charity receives no government support or funding, relying solely on trust funding and the donations and hard work of its supporters and volunteers. You can donate to help the vital work the Medical Detection Dogs do through their website or every time you shop online with easyfundraising.

Liverpool stance on Aaron Ramsey revealed
March 26, 2021 20:20 GMT (UK), by Sri Aswin
Reds not keen on Ramsey
Liverpool have not made any contact with Juventus to sign former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey this summer.
Ramsey left the Gunners to join the Bianconeri on a free transfer in 2019 and he has since made 61 appearances across all competitions.
The Welshman has struggled for playing time this term under manager Andrea Pirlo and it is claimed that he could be sold this summer.
The Reds are one of the clubs, who have been credited with an interest, but Fabrizio Romano has dismissed any negotiations between the sides.
Ramsey is currently on wages of around £130,000-a-week and he has also been linked with West Ham United over the past few days.
His injury record has remained a concern despite the change of leagues, but he remains a valuable asset when on the playing field.
He could be available for around £30m and it remains to be seen whether Ramsey will entertain playing for another English club.
Ramsey made 371 appearances during his 11-year stay with the Gunners, registering 65 goals and 65 assists.

The bulletin does not identify the targeted states, but officials told NBC News they were Illinois and Arizona. Illinois officials said in July that they shut down their state's voter registration after a hack. State officials said Monday the hackers downloaded information on as many 200,000 people.
State officials told the Chicago Tribune they were confident no voter record had been deleted or altered.
In Arizona, officials said, hackers tried to get in using malicious software but were unsuccessful. The state took its online voter registration down for nine days, beginning in late June, after malware was discovered on a county election official's computer. But the state concluded that the system was not successfully breached.
We should carefully consider whether our election system, our election process, is critical infrastructure like the financial sector, like the power grid," Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said.
"There's a vital national interest in our election process, so I do think we need to consider whether it should be considered by my department and others critical infrastructure," he said at a media conference earlier this month hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.
DHS describes it this way on their website: "There are 16 critical infrastructure sectors whose assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, are considered so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof."
The bad news is that voters targeted in these types of hacks could be subject to fraud. Again, it's not a good situation. It's a serious security concern, but unlikely to impact our elections in a way to see them break down under the threats of cyber warfare, though I know that's not going to put everyone at ease.

Q: How to create a bitmap/image from Scan0? I'm having trouble porting the following C# code to C++:
protected override void OnPaint(CefBrowser browser, CefPaintElementType type, CefRectangle[] dirtyRects
    , System.IntPtr buffer, int width, int height)
{
    if (isPainting == true)
        return;

    isPainting = true;

    // Save the provided buffer (a bitmap image) as a PNG.
    using (System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(width, height, width * 4, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb, buffer))
    {
        bitmap.Save(@"LastOnPaint.png", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
    } // End Using bitmap
}

What it does:
Create an image from a WebSite/SVG as rendered by the latest version of Chromium embedded and save it as a file.
So this is the corresponding render-handler in C++:
void RenderHandler::OnPaint(
    CefRefPtr<CefBrowser> browser,
    CefRenderHandler::PaintElementType type,
    const CefRenderHandler::RectList& dirtyRects,
    const void* buffer, int width, int height
) {
    // size_t len = sizeof(buffer) / sizeof(void*);
    // printf("buffer length: %zu\n", len); // 1...
    // Array size is probably: width*height * 4;
}

So I was looking into what C# does in the bitmap-constructor, which is the following:
public Bitmap(int width, int height, int stride, PixelFormat format, IntPtr scan0)
{
    IntPtr bitmap = IntPtr.Zero;
    int status = Gdip.GdipCreateBitmapFromScan0(width, height, stride, unchecked((int)format), new HandleRef(null, scan0), out bitmap);
    Gdip.CheckStatus(status);

    SetNativeImage(bitmap);
}

internal void SetNativeImage(IntPtr handle) {
        if (handle == IntPtr.Zero)
            throw new ArgumentException(SR.GetString(SR.NativeHandle0), "handle");

        nativeImage = handle;
    }

Which traces to
internal const string Gdiplus = "gdiplus.dll";

[DllImport(ExternDll.Gdiplus, SetLastError=true, ExactSpelling=true, CharSet=System.Runtime.InteropServices.CharSet.Unicode)] // 3 = Unicode
[ResourceExposure(ResourceScope.Machine)]
internal static extern int GdipCreateBitmapFromScan0(int width, int height, int stride, int format, HandleRef scan0, out IntPtr bitmap);

So I thought I could just call GdipCreateBitmapFromScan0 in gdibitmapflat and be almost finished
GpStatus WINGDIPAPI GdipCreateBitmapFromScan0(INT width
, INT height, INT stride, PixelFormat format
, BYTE* scan0, GpBitmap** bitmap)

So I gathered the necessary header-files for GDI, which was a horrible experience
#ifndef __BITMAPHELPER_H__
#define __BITMAPHELPER_H__

// #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

#pragma warning(disable:4458)

#include <Windows.h>
#include <ObjIdl.h>
#include <minmax.h>
#include <gdiplus.h>
#include <wingdi.h>
#include <gdiplusbitmap.h>
#include <gdiplusflat.h>
using namespace Gdiplus;
#pragma comment (lib,"gdiplus.lib")

#pragma warning(default:4458)

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstring>
#include <cstdint>
#include <cstdbool>

#include <algorithm>
#include <memory>

And thought this would about do it
#include "BitmapHelper.h"
static void Test()
{
    GpBitmap *bitmap = NULL;
    GdipCreateBitmapFromScan0(100, 100, 0, PixelFormat32bppARGB, NULL, &bitmap); // create a bitmap object with specified width/height/color
    // GpGraphics *graph;

    // Image * syntaxTest = NULL;
    //syntaxTest->FromFile(TEXT("d:\\abc.jpg"), true);  // create an image object
    // Bitmap::FromBITMAPINFO
    // GpImage *image = NULL;
    // Gdiplus::Image()

    Bitmap *bmp = NULL;

    // GdipLoadImageFromFile(TEXT("d:\\abc.jpg"), &image);  // create an image object

    // GdipGetImageGraphicsContext(bitmap, &graph); // create a graphic object via bitmap object
    // GdipDrawImageI(graph, image, 100, 100);          // draw image to this graphic object, it can be done

}

However, it turns out the compiler doesn't know GdipCreateBitmapFromScan0, although it's definitely inside #include <gdiplusflat.h>...
How to create a bitmap/image from Scan0 ?
Note:
While I am at it, I don't want to resort to C++.NET, and ideally not to the WinAPI either;  because i'd like it to work on Linux too. And not to a monstrous dependency like SDL either.
So far, it looks like my possible alternatives are using this code:
https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/196084/read-and-write-bmp-file-in-c
which means I have to create the bitmap header myselfs.
Or I could use some code from ImageIO.
I can't quite belive that creating a simple bitmap on even a single operating-system is that hard...
Is there really no better (and portable) way to create a simple bitmap from a trivial array of pixel colors ?
And why does the compiler not find GdipCreateBitmapFromScan0 ?
If I had used LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress to invoke it instead of f*ing windows header files, I'd be about finished by now...
And why does #include <gdiplus.h> not include its own dependencies ?

A: Your looking at the internals of .NET have led you toward using a function that's not part of the documented, public interface of GDI+. It looks to me like that's the real cause of most of your problems.
What I think you probably want to do is start by creating a GdiPlus::Bitmap object from your pixels. It has a constructor that looks like it'll directly accept your data.
Once you've created the Bitmap object, you call its Save member function. Bitmap is publicly derived from Image, so you're basically dealing with the normal Image::Save to generate a PNG.
If you want to eliminate the dependency on Windows code, you might consider using (for one obvious possibility) libpng instead. This gives you quite a lot more control over the process, at the expense of being quite a bit more work to use (depending on what you want to do, probably on the order of a half dozen to a dozen lines of code rather than one or two).

A: So, after having done this in both GDI+ and raw C, I can safely say that it's actually faster, and not to mention considerably less problematic and less google-intensive just doing the image-handling without GDI/GDI+. Whoever implemented GDI+ has a major brain damage.
Since I haven't yet handled transparency properly, and not yet incorporated lodepng, I've added GDI+ as an optional extra option, for the time being.

Q: Easy way to tell which objects will utilize IsDeleted flag? It seems most objects, when deleted, will get their record updated with IsDeleted = true while they stay in the recycle bin until they're purged.
However, we have found some objects just get automatically purged and don't go into a recycle bin. You can include IsDeleted in a SOQL/query against these objects, but there will never be a record where that flag is true.
In terms of replications to SQL tables, this can be difficult to track when you're not dropping and re-building tables and relying on updates and this deleted flag.
Is there an easy way to tell how an object will behave when deleted: setting this flag and staying in the recycle bin vs. being outright purged?
It does seem that individual objects' documentation will not include references to the IsDeleted field which may point to them not using it as 2 examples we've seen below don't list that field
ObjectTerritory2Association
Topic
But, the fact that it can be used in a query on those objects and is listed as a system field under that object makes it difficult to figure this out without manually looking at documentation.

A: You can describe an sObject (available in Apex via sObjectType.getdescribe(), REST API describe call, and SOAP API describeSObject()), and you'll see a property called "undeletable." If true, IsDeleted is meaningful and you can retrieve and undelete records from this object.
However, if you're interested in replication, as this question seems to imply, you should use the getDeleted API call (REST, SOAP). This call can get information for up to a month old about records that have been deleted, even if they are purged from the recycle bin before replication occurs, or even if the sObject in question does not allow recovery from the recycle bin (it will always allow you replicate deletions of records). You should use this API if you're replicating data.
Also, see getUpdated if you want to easily replicate updates to records as well. This API even gives you a way to detect "in flight" records so that you never accidentally miss records that would have been missed between two queries (e.g. because they were being inserted/updated in another thread while the call was active).

New bill challenges state rights
By Margaret King
Conservative lawmakers introduced the 2005 Constitution Restoration Act in March, reviving the age-old battle between states' rights and federal government.
After a year ripe with controversy over states' rights, such as the sodomy case in Texas and the Ten Commandments in an Alabama courtroom case, conservative lawmakers have introduced the bill.
This bill radically redefines the separation of powers of the legislative and judicial branches of the government and has little hope of becoming law, experts said.
Introducing obviously unconstitutional legislation is merely interest group lobbying, political theory instructor Lauren Hall said.
"It allows lawmakers to appeal to their more radical constituents without reaping … any consequences," she said.
Experts said the CRA is unconstitutional because it gives Congress the power to decide how the courts may make their decisions.
Article 3, Section 2 of the current Constitution gives Congress limited appellate jurisdiction. According to NIU law professor Mark Cordes, Congress rarely invokes this privilege, and a bill such as the CRA could result in a vicious turf war.
The bill is comprised of three sections. Section 101 limits the jurisdiction of the U.S. Supreme Court and refers to the sovereign power of God. This section responds to the controversy over the Ten Commandments memorial in front of an Alabama court house, law professor Jeffery Parness said. The CRA relegates similar religious cases to state courts.
Section 201 ties the Constitution to its original roots. It states that the Supreme Court may not rely upon any law made after the adoption of the U.S. Constitution. This stipulation does not consider the cultural and scientific evolution of a nation, Parness said. Concepts such as artificial insemination and stem cell research were unimaginable to the constitutional framers of the 1790s.
The legislation also deals with international law as precedent in Supreme Court decisions.
Section 201 also denies the Supreme Court from consulting foreign constitutions in their legal decisions, said constitutional law expert Lawrence Schlam.
In Lawrence v. Texas, the Supreme Court ruled that laws against sodomy were unconstitutional because of their discriminatory nature, Schlam said. In this case, the Supreme Court cited British and European Union laws in their final decision, he said.
The third part of the bill provides for impeachment of judges who go outside of their jurisdiction to decide a case, such as citing international law as precedent in a case. The section also declares decisions made through extra jurisdictional means are not binding in state courts.

Golf and the Papal We.
Tiger Woods was expected to win every tournament he entered and looking back on his career, it seems he did. Then his wife attacked him with a nine iron and he sought refuge in his SUV. We may never know exactly what happened that night. To date, El Tigre has never been the same. Two years ago he won five tournaments, a career for most professional golfers, but Tiger feeds on the four majors, those tournaments so coveted by golfing super staars like Jack Nicklaus.
He's still got game, somewhere. In last week's tournament he played three and two thirds rounds with his old brilliance. He then shanked a chip shot to the opposite side of the green, flubbed the return and then putted thirty yards past the cup, putted twice more for an easy seven and blew himself out of contention.
Still, he changed the game. Soon after losing his baby fat and turning pro, he was the hallmark of buff. No golfer had ever donned a glove who looked anything like Tiger. Word got around about his training schedule and an entire generation of young golfers followed his lead. Now there are a dozen twenty somethings that can hit a ball hitherto unimaginable distances whilst curving it high or low or this-a-way or that-a-way.
These freshmen have been around for a few years – Bubba Watson comes to mind, but 2015 is a "What Has God Wrought" kinda year. The Professional Golfers Association now has a plethora of young stars who in a single season rejuvenated the game by regularly putting blankets over Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Steve Stricker and alas,Tiger.
With the older generation flailing about, the PGA and the media jumped all over Jordan Spieth, touting him as the next Tiger, only better. He possesses many sterling features. He is very nice looking, short hair and no five day beard. He speaks clearly and employs lots of people. Besides the obligatory caddie, his payroll sports a professional support team consisting of a trainer, physiotherapist, sport psychologist, golf swing guru, accountant, public relation specialist, dietician, agent, a lawyer and manager. He doesn't have a wife and his Mom and Dad appear to be nice folks.
The media and the PGA got excited when Spieth won his first major at the 2015 Masters Tournament, becoming the second youngest to win the Masters, behind Woods. He won the U.S. Open, the youngest since Bobby Jones in 1923. The Open (British Open) was next and if he won that, he'd be a Grand Slam winner, depending on your criteria, something only Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Gary Player, Jack Nickus and Tiger Woods had accomplished.
He lost the Open and the PGA, but he was already a household name with as many endorsements as his Nike shirt could possibly hold. The media began to concentrate on his sportsmanship and humility. Humility was the winner. The reason? Everytime he was interviewed, he used the Papal or omniscient we. "We won, we worked hard, we had a plan, we had a strategy, we're happy the way we played". Television people interpreted this as humility. I don't think I heard him once say "I".
Golf has changed indeed. As Spieth walked off one of the final teeing grounds, he was followed by a group of about 20 people, portable cameras, the usual score keepers and sign carriers, a couple of rules officials and a dozen or so hangers on. What the hell is going on, I thought. Anyway, I wonder who suggested to Jordan Spieth that he use the omniscient we. I don't expect him to know anything about the Papal we, but I do thinnk someone should tell him how this sounds on national television.
Golf is and has always been an individual game and should remain an individual game. Jordan Spieth looks and speaks as if he's on a corporate outing. Perhaps he is. Perhaps they all are.

U.S. Open Golf ala 2012.
The 2012 US Open was played on the Olympic Club golf course overlooking San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. The course was constructed in 1920 and is devilishly difficult even without 12 inch deep rough typical of past US Opens. Level lies are almost impossible to come by. A new par 3 8th hole was constructed for the tournament and the 16th hole was lengthened to 671 yards, the longest par 5 of any US Open venue. The weather was good for golf. The professional commentator was Johnny Miller who as a youngster was a merit member of the Olympic Club. He knew the course intimately and his comments as usual were bluntly informative and wryly humorous.
Winning the US Open is the dream of every serious golfer and the Ultimate Thule of every professional. Winning the US Open allows a pro to play the Open for the rest of their lives and comes with a 10 year exemption from qualifying for any other tournament. To top it off the prize money is usually somewhere in the range of a million and a half bucks. No amateur has won the open since the legendary Bobby Jones. I had to wonder what the pros were thinking at the end of the 2nd day when they saw their butts were being kicked by a 17-year-old. After all, these guys have high-profile endorsement contracts and enormous egos, though for some of them, the bloom is off the rose.
It was a treat watching the antics and agonies of multimillionaires unable to consistently break par. The winning score was 1 over, but there were moments of brilliance. A 17-year-old amateur made the cut, allowing him to play the week end and at one time was just three over, far better then most of the pros. I think in all there were 3 teenagers who finished the tournament. A 14 year-old had qualified! 14 years old? Gimme a break! A 53-year-old Olympic Club member who has spent his entire golfing life trying to qualify for a US Open, made it this year and on his home turf. This guy made the cut and played on the weekend. I'm sure he was not happy with this final score but by golly did he play well.
As Johnny Miller pointed out, Tiger Woods – can you imagine calling yourself Tiger – had his game face on and sure enough Tiger played 2 rounds of very good golf. By the time the weekend came around it looked as if the pros were going to grab the tournament back and save face. As expected the amateurs began to fade, but still made statements strong enough to capture the attention of TV execs who gave them equal on- camera time with the pros. The tournament maintained its excitement and wonderful blend of youthful and aged amateur and professionals, many of the latter completely unknown or on their last major tournament go rounds. It came down to the last day.
Sometimes it doesn't. For example, when Ben Hogan, Jack Nicolas and the Tiger of recent fame were on top of their games and leading by a few strokes on Sunday, you could pretty well bank on the final outcome. This time you couldn't bank on anything.
The guy who won is well over 6 feet, looks to be in his early to mid twenties, has a flat belly, blond hair and Phil Mickelson's baby flushed cheeks and is married. He's too good looking, too happy and his wife is blond, pretty and seven months pregnant. Almost unknown except to family and friends, he appeared from out of the blue. He had attended Wake Forest University on an Arnold Palmer scholarship. He said he hoped his win would bring a smile to Arnold. He said he had been at peace and had prayed 3 times during the last few holes. Now we have to wait to see if his name ever appears again at the top of a Leader Board.
The average pro golf tournament is made for TV and its sponsors. Scores usually range from 10 to 20 strokes under par and if a pro can finish in the top ten a few times, he's made plenty enough money to live on for the year and probably beyond. It was a satisfying experience to see some of the best players in the world sweating just to get around at level par and not succeeding. Two pros hit tee shots that disappeared into a Cypress tree alongside the first fairway – imagine an eagles nest – and never dropped to the ground. One of those guys provided a real US Open moment when he borrowed a pair of binoculars and stood in the fairway scanning the offending tree. A golfer has 5 minutes to find and identify his ball before declaring it lost and re-hitting his shot. Both players had to make a humiliating walk back to the tee to try again.
This US Open was fun to watch and exciting. Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Jim Furyk, last year's open winner McDowell and a phalanx of other well-known professional golfers either did not make the cut or committed non-pro-no-nos along the way. The winner of course was the course; the Olympic Club and a winning score of 1 over par. That's the way it should be.

The Corrs	Buy This Song
About What Can I Do
"What Can I Do" is a song by Irish band The Corrs, from their breakthrough album Talk on Corners (1998). The song was originally released in January 1998, but its moderate charting success was limited, due to the time of the shooting of the video. However, it was later re-released in August that year in a remixed form by Tin Tin Out, which generated more attention, particularly in the UK where it reached No.3, and became one of the band's most known hits worldwide. The song received generally favorable reviews from music critics, some of whom felt it wasn't as strong as their previous songs. An accompanying music video was released, which was shot in New Zealand during their world tour. more »
I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we've talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong
What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there
There's only so much I can take
And I just got to let it go
And who knows I might feel better
If I don't try and I don't hope
No more waiting, no more aching
No more fighting, no more trying
Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just gonna let it fly
The Corrs are an Irish band which combine pop rock with traditional Celtic folk music. The brother and sisters are from Dundalk, Ireland. The group consists of the Corr siblings: Andrea (lead vocals, tin whistle); Sharon (violin, vocals); Caroline (drums, piano, bodhrán, vocals); and Jim (guitar, piano, vocals). more »

The Thread of All Sorrows
Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,
you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.
You must wake up with sorrow.
You must speak it till your voice
catches the thread of all sorrows
and you see the size of the cloth.
~ from "Kindness," a poem by Naomi Shihab Nye
Memorial Day with Amber's Dad
I've just taken perhaps the longest break from my blog since I committed at the start of 2013 to write 50 posts in a year's time.
The death earlier this month of my close friend/ neighbor/ former mentor Bill has caught the thread of all my sorrows.
Bill's diagnosis with a rare and aggressive form of leukemia came not 24 hours after Marcy's five-hour memorial service last August. During the six months Bill spent in a clinical trial (at a cancer center dubbed the City of Hope) in California, my father-in-law Dean Wilson suffered several health crises. In March he died less than 48 hours after entering hospice. Two days after we buried Dean, Bill returned home for what turned out to be his last six weeks of life.
On the surface, these seem clear examples of what Francis Weller calls the First Gate of Grief: the recognition that everything we love will die. In The Wild Edge of Sorrow Weller enumerates "Five Gates of Grief" (summarized here). The image of the gate implies something linear or sequential - you pass through one gate at a time, entering into what Weller calls "the communal hall of grief".
I find myself at the threshold of all five of these portals. The threads of sorrow I've got ahold of feel like they're woven into the same cloth. As Weller says, citing Nye's poem, "The cloth is immense."
I recognize intimately the Second Gate: The Places That Have Not Known Love; the Third Gate: The Sorrows of the World; and the Fifth Gate: Ancestral Grief. But the warp upon which all these threads serve as weft is Weller's Fourth Gate: What We Expected and Did Not Receive – the grief of not being born into a village.
Weller quotes T.S. Eliot's lament, "Once upon a time, we knew the world from birth," and writes:
We are born expecting a rich and sensuous relationship with the earth and communal rituals of celebration, grief, and healing that keep us in connection with the sacred....This is our inheritance, our birthright,which has been lost and abandoned....This lack is simultaneously one of the primary sources of our grief and one of the reasons we find it so hard to grieve. On some level, we are waiting for the village to appear so we can fully acknowledge our sorrows.
Neighborhood candlelight walk the night after Bill's death
My studies these last two years at the Orphan Wisdom School have introduced me to the concept of dying as a village-making event. I've dedicated much of this current chapter of my life to tending relationships between the living and the dead and to strengthening community around the dying. I've glimpsed moments of the village showing up - beautiful, sacred moments.
And I've also been a faithful witness to how each of these deaths - along with the burgeoning movement that seeks to "do death differently" - bears the marks of our times.
Tugging at the thread of the sorrow of our times, a sorrow that hears the muffled but insistent sound of ancestral trauma, a sorrow that erupts as shame and self-abuse, can feel like an unraveling when there's no village to weave the larger story back together.
Seeing the size of the whole cloth is not easy. As Weller writes, "So much in this world needs our attention. So much is threatened and clinging perilously to the edge of existence. Grief is our witness to these painful realities. Grief is also our response that confirms our intimate bond with all of creation."
At the center of all my sorrows, I have felt a presence that was not mine alone.

Black Joy this week: A new 'Black Magic Project' series
By Jonece Starr Dunigan|2020-11-16T08:28:16-06:00October 2, 2020|Blackness, Race, Story|
Hiya, y'all!
Welcome to your weekly dose of Black joy from the Black Magic Project. You may have paused there to be like, "Black Magic Whaaaaat?"
Don't worry. Let me explain.
While chasing breaking news as a night reporter, I heard these words often: "You only come when we are dead." The "we" here is Black people.
My people.
I was beginning to feel the heaviness of my melanin and the media's duty to dispel stereotypes that add weight to not just my skin tone but to all Black and brown people targeted by discrimination and violence. So, in February 2017, I wrote a series of stories about Black folks doing positive things in their communities and called it the Black Magic Project. From a nonprofit teaching children and teens to fight the violence of the streets through poetry, to the brothers who wouldn't let their autism define them, I wanted the world to see the melanin-coated magic.
That series has now evolved into a whole social media campaign where we at Reckon showcase all things southern fried Black pride. That includes our Facebook group where we discuss Black southern topic and celebrate the Black community (And yes, you can join!).
Starting this week, we'll give you a weekly flavor of the most important news and conversations in Black joy.
So let's get into it!
Going Vegan Crazy
One thing I will always applaud loudly and proudly is our Black-owned businesses. Especially since Ms. Rona's attitude has shut down nearly half of America's small Black businesses.
But popular food truck Slutty Vegan traveled from its Atlanta headquarters to make a stop through Birmingham this Wednesday. The plant-based burger joint owned by Pinky Cole started as a food truck in 2018. When the business opened its first brick-and-mortar location the following year, Slutty Vegan's Instagram account had more than 83,000 followers. Slutty Vegan now has more than 376,000 Instagram followers, two locations in Atlanta and Cole hinted at eyeing Birmingham for a third location earlier this year.
So when Slutty Vegan announced its pop-up location on its social media accounts, Birmingham showed up and showed out.
Mekeia Fox jumped in her car and became the fourth person in line after she got a text from Slutty Vegan announcing the pop-up. Fox says having a vegan restaurant in her city would help her commit to a healthier lifestyle.
"I'm glad this is coming to Birmingham because this is something that we need more of in our community," Fox said. "Who doesn't like a good, full burger that tastes good and (is) actually good for you?"
People stood in line for hours just to try the vegan burgers with names like the "Super Slut" and "Fussy Hussy." Slutty Vegan also has other sandwich options. The "PLT" is concocted by tossing grilled plantains in jerk sauce topped with its signature Slut Sauce and paired with lettuce, tomato and smushed between a vegan Hawaiian bun.
Monique Shorts was impressed when she tried a vegan burger for the first time after ordering the "One Night Stand," a plant-based burger loaded with vegan bacon, cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, and Slut Sauce, also on a vegan Hawaiian bun.
"I'm a really picky eater and I'm going to eat all of this," Shorts said. "If you've never tried vegan, or if you're from the culture and eating vegan, come eat vegan. This burger is the bomb!"
Slutty Vegan has received nods from many celebrities such as Snoop Dogg and Usher. Q Parker, a member of the Grammy-award winning, multi-platinum R&B group 112, was proud to see Cole succeeding as a business owner and philanthropist who has funded scholarships and stands up for social justice.
"As a Black man, it makes me proud to see one of my sisters really, really successful. She's not just successful in selling food," Parker said. "She gives back to the community. She's very active in the community. The fact that she's traveling abroad, giving people and introducing them to vegan burgers, it's super amazing."
While Slutty Vegan's arrival created a lot of noise on social media, mixed into that conversation was the importance of supporting other Black-owned food trucks and restaurants that also dish out vegan delights. Here are a couple of options from our Facebook group. If you know of other Black-owned vegan joints out there, hit me up at jdunigan@al.com with the business name and links to their social media accounts.
Underground Vegan (Birmingham): Find them on Facebook and Instagram.
Good Health To Be Hail Holistic Wellness and Culture Learning Center (Bessemer). Find them on Facebook.
Plant Bae (Montgomery). Check them out on Facebook.
Mangoes Caribbean Cookhouse (Huntsville) can be found on Facebook.
Bean Me Up Scottie (Tuscaloosa) is on Facebook here.
Growing Black power
Black history is the foundation of the Black Magic Project. I started the brand in February for a reason: to showcase Black Alabamians who carried on the legacy of those who fought during the Civil Rights Movement by doing positive things in their communities in big and small ways. I even wrote an article about the lack of Black history education in Alabama despite the state being the stomping grounds for many Black history giants, and how slavery myths get their start in the classroom. You should read them when you have time.
So when I read a Food and Wine story explaining Fannie Lou Hamer's food activism, I inhaled every word. The Mississippi activist co-founded the Freedom Democratic Party and National Women's Political Caucus. But Hamer also created the Freedom Farm Cooperative, which fought off a white power structure that was targeting Black farmers. The cooperative provided affordable housing while also giving Black Mississippians a place to grow their own food.
Hamer is the woman I inspire to be in life: A bold woman who looked out and uplifted her people. She built a powerful legacy while doing so.
So I asked the Black Magic Project community this: What legacy do you want to leave behind for your community?
One member answered that she is following in Hamer's footsteps by helping other Black women register as famers.
We are literally growing our Black power, y'all!
Flexin' for the Census
Deadline to fill out the Census is Oct. 5. Here is the link to the questionnaire.
When I was younger, I thought the Census was just this big government campaign to count everybody so that officials would know how many people are in the United States.
I was hella wrong.
Data from the Census determines how over $1 trillion will be spent in our communities and that money could make a serious impact on Black lives in America. Programs like Head Start and Medicaid are at stake. Alabama is among the states that could lose a U.S. congressional seat because of low participation numbers.
Our voices can be silenced if we don't participate in the Census.
A little skeptical about it? Here's a Now This video where Stacey Abrams, the former Georgia gubernatorial candidate, dispels a lot of the myths about the Census.
That's all for now. See you next Friday and keep spreading your Black magic, y'all!

It highly recommended to do some research before buying an old home. Some of the things that ails an old home might not be apparent on the surface. Never rely on the photographs of an old home because it can be deceiving. It is possible that some of the problems of the old home are not apparent and obvious. So, make sure to find out how sturdy the foundation is. It is possible that there are faulty pipe that can result into huge plumbing problems. It is always a good idea to check out the possible infestations that may only cause the house to go down literally. The idea is to make sure the home is in top condition.

Until you can commit to making the home better, never engage in buying an old home. It will only make things worse if you are not ready to meet the demands of maintaining an old home. It is best to engage in an old home when you are ready and primed.
It is going to be stressful and will consume a lot of time. It is going to be a labor of love.

That's biggie! There's no point in picking the supplier with poor business reputation. You should do your own homework/research to spot the best candidates falling within your criteria. You can judge anyone else's credibility through a number of ways. You can visit them in person or online to see if they're capable of delivering you your desired products.
Checking reviews always pays off. If you're having trouble finding reviews of a particular service provider, you can visit their social media profiles such as Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn to see what others say about them. You can also ask your colleagues or friends for their recommendations.
From price and quality of the salt to delivery time, you should take everything into account to avoid any potential conflict between you and the rock salt suppler. You should be aware of everything so no one can misguide you.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Two people wanted for a string of armed robberies are accused of shooting at Hialeah police officers.
It happened around 2 a.m. at a mobile home park along NW 29th Court and 75th St.
When the two suspects began shooting, Hialeah police said their officers returned fire.
The President of the police union that represents the officers tells CBS4 that an investigation would prove that the Hialeah officers were justified in their actions.
Both suspects were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital. No police officers were injured.
One woman who lives nearby said she heard the gunfire.
Ramos said she's lived in the neighborhood for 20 years and this is the first time she's seen yellow crime tape, evidence markers, and more than a dozen police officers near her home.
"Normally it's very quiet here. A lot of elderly people live here," she said.
Ramos added that she'll do whatever she can to make her children feel safe.
"I'm getting cameras for sure. Definitely a surveillance system," she said.
Police have not said why their officers were at the mobile home park or how many officers were involved.
Yamilety Bilbao said she also heard the gunfire and she was frightened.
Lt. Jose Proveyer, the President of the Fraternal Order of Police, Hialeah Lodge 12, said he was grateful that the officers were not injured. He said the suspects were wanted for a armed robberies in Hialeah and possibly other cities.
Proveyer told CBS4's Peter D'Oench that he felt an investigation by Hialeah Police and the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office would prove that the officers were justified in taking the actions that they did.

In addition to dense loading activities, PETROVAL has developed a new machine to unload reactor, the Catflow®. It is used to unload catalyst through horizontal dump nozzles. The machine creates a fluidized region inside the horizontal dump pipe, and the catalyst is able to flow by applying a delta P over the pipe. The Catflow® increases the safety, the rapidity and the quality.
The Catflow® was developed by PETROVAL's engineers with the objective to unload the catalyst without workers intervening inside the reactor.
Also, the Catflow® reduces the risk of air entry and self-ignition of catalyst. This unloading method permits to achieve a high level of safety on site.
The Catflow® system has an unloading rate comprise between 10m3 and 12m3 per hour. The installation requires only 1 hour and the machine is easy to handle. Consequently, the time savings are significant.
Thanks to the free flowing of catalyst, the Catflow® limits the catalyst breakage and attrition, and improves the quantity and quality of the recovered catalyst.
