Not Enough "Story"
I enjoyed the first three entries in this series. I especially like main character Nell Pratt. The first three books were not thrilling, action packed adventures, so I wasn't expecting that. The interesting characters I liked are in this book. The problem is they just don't have enough to do.
Narrator Robin Miles does an excellent job.
If there is another book in this series I will need to be convinced there is a better story to tell before I buy it.

A good, engaging cozy mystery
Nell Pratt is the president of the Philadelphia Antiquarian Society, an institution which has been having some interesting times lately--this being volume four in a mystery series. But surely thingss have quieted down now. Crises are resolved, Nell is dating FBI Special Agent James Morrison, and the Society has a large stash of possibly stolen documents it is sorting and cataloging for the FBI. And on her train ride in to work one morning, Nell reads the obituary of a former Society board member. It's not an expected death, but the woman was elderly, and there's no suggestion it was anything but natural.
Then as she's working at her desk that morning, James Morrison calls, and tells her he thinks the former board member's death wasn't natural. He thinks he's seeing a pattern of deaths in older members of Philadelphia's cultural world.
There's enough back story salted in to let readers new to the series pick up the essentials and follow what's going on among the continuing characters. This is a world where historians and reference librarians and catalogers matter, techies are valued for their skills, and the sticky mind that retains details others might find trivial is a valuable asset. Nell, her staff, and James have to work through lots of detail about Philadelphia's cultural world without, at first, really knowing what they're looking for. This isn't action-adventure and won't be to everyone's taste, but it moves along, and the characters and background are interesting, and for me, absorbing.
Alongside the mystery, the characters and their personal lives are also well-developed, likable, and interesting.
Recommended for anyone who enjoys a good cozy mystery.
I received a free copy of the audiobook from Audible in exchange for an honest review.

New Oman dairy set to produce a million litres of milk a day
Christian Fernsby ▼ | July 10, 2019
Middle East Oman cows
Oman's first dairy project, which plans to produce a million litres of milk per day, is set to open within the next three months.
According to a report in the Times of Oman, the company is in the "final stages of launching production".
Saleh Al Shanfari CEO of Oman Food Investment Holding Company (OFIHC) told the newspaper the company, Mazoon Dairy, would start producing 350,000 litres of milk per day, but targeted one million litres-a-day within ten years.
He said the farm has the capability for 25,000 cows, with a current, growing herd of 4,000 animals.
"The complexity and size of this unprecedented project in addition to the need to liaise with both local and international contractors has meant we are being cautious about naming our launch day, but having said this, I can assure you that our plan is to deliver the product to the market towards the end of the third quarter in 2019," Al Shanfari was quoted as saying.
Al Shanfari also said bulk milk production has already begun and is being used for testing. At the same time, excess milk is being exported and sold locally to SMEs and major milk producers. ■

Last night, President Obama appeared on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."
While Obama didn't sing with Dave Matthew's Band, we did get some insight into the president's past and hear his thoughts on the recent Secret Service prostitution scandal.
The president taped the segment yesterday afternoon at the University of North Carolina on Chapel Hill. Before the much-anticipated episode aired, buzz swirled about Obama "slow-jamming" the news (over saturation made the bit lose its appeal come 12:45 a.m.) while attempting to appeal to the younger generation.
Yes, Obama discussed plenty about student loans, the importance of expanding education and utilizing solar energy.
However, he also discussed his favorite film, his relationship with Mitt Romney and hairstyles in college.
OBAMA SLOW JAMS THE NEWS: As his big entrance, President Obama jams out his feelings on stafford loans while Fallon chimes in with back up vocals. Oh, and Obama gets called the POTUS with the Most-est.
HE CALLED HIMSELF AN IDIOT: Obama admitted his most embarrassing moment included leaving the stage promptly after a speech with Michelle only to find out he needed to stay to hear the rest of the speakers.
WHAT MAKES OBAMA LAUGH: The president revealed he can't get enough of Bill Murray's "Groundhog's Day" and dancing bears on the Internet.
BARACK ROCKED AN AFRO: Fallon pulls out a photo of Obama with a fro during his college years.
WHAT HE HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE SECRET SERVICE MEN: "A couple of knuckleheads shouldn't detract from what they do. What they were thinking, I don't know. That's why they're not there anymore."
"ARE YOU GOING TO LEGALIZE WEED, OR WHAT?": "We're not going to be legalizing weed, or what."
WHAT HE'D SAY TO MITT ROMNEY: "I'd say, 'Hey Mitt.'" ..."I do know him, but we're not friends. He seems like someone who cares deeply about his family."
WHY WE SHOULD VOTE FOR HIM IN 140 CHARACTERS: "Let's move forward, not backward. I believe in young people and I'm going to fight for you."
Barack Obama finished high school and went on to college.

More Conflationism in the News
Kevin Carson | @KevinCarson1 | Support this author on Patreon | February 9th, 2012
In a recent column, I referred to Auburn University Professor Roderick Long's concept of "conflationism":
"Left-conflationism is the error of treating the evils of existing corporatist capitalism as though they constituted an objection to a freed market. Right-conflationism is the error of treating the virtues of a freed market as though they constituted a justification of the evils of existing corporatist capitalism."
In a recent interview on Reason.tv, Veronique de Rugy of George Mason University's Mercatus Center, committed the latter fallacy of right-conflationism. She criticized the Occupy movement for focusing its outrage on the 1% richest Americans, whose wealth (she said) is not gained at the expense of the 99% — but rather from providing goods and services that people want to consume.
This is a fundamental non-sequitur. By definition, any economic transaction — no matter how monopolistic — must provide a good or service that someone wants to consume. A man who sells glasses of water in the middle of the desert for a quit-claim on your life savings is, obviously, providing something someone wants — and wants quite desperately. When a robber points a gun at me and says 'Your money or your life,' I'm paying for something of immense value to me.
So what? That by no means rules out the possibility that one person is also, at the same time, benefiting at someone else's expense. Consider how monopoly pricing works:
In a free market, the value of goods is determined by the marginal utility of the last unit produced; with no entry barriers, new entrants will compete to supply needs until the marginal utility of the last unit produced to the buyer equals the marginal cost of production. To translate it from the language of marginalist economics to that of Ricardo, a competitive marketplace normally drives the price of reproducible goods toward the cost of production.
A monopoly short-circuits this process: Absent competition, the seller can target the price so that the utility is just barely worth it to the buyer after paying the price, with the seller pocketing the difference between a sales price targeted to the buyer's ability to pay and the marginal cost of production.
And for reproducible goods, the latter state of affairs only holds true when there are barriers to entry enforced by the state. Such entry barriers include absentee ownership of vacant and unimproved land, by which the landlord is able to extract rents from the rightful first owner and thus leave the occupant barely enough utility from living or working on the land to make the transaction worthwhile. They include 'intellectual property,' by which Microsoft can price at $200 a software CD that cost $5 to make, or Pfizer can mark up a patented drug by 2000%.
Like the robber in the example above, the landlord, Microsoft and Pfizer, with the help of the state, points a gun at you and says "Pay up, and I'll let you keep — not your life — but some portion of the utility from your land, your software, your medicine. You will either work twice as hard to feed me in addition to yourself, or you will not eat at all."
In our economy, in fact, the largest concentrations of wealth are earned through entry barriers of this kind. The super-rich have, indeed, gotten rich at the expense of the 99%. They have no more earned their wealth through an uncoerced exchange of value for value with equals, than did the medieval lord of 700 years ago who compelled the peasants to work half the week on his manorial domain as a condition of working their own lands during the other half.
De Rugy's claim is really an enthymeme — an incomplete syllogism in which one of the premises is unstated. The enthymeme is usually a rhetorical device in which the speaker appeals to the unstated prejudices of the audience. The unstated premise is an unexamined cultural assumption shared by the audience, which is left unstated because to state it might invite critical examination. Her enthymeme is as follows:
Major premise: In a free market, wealth comes from providing useful goods and services, and not at other people's expense. Minor premise (unstated): The system we live in now is a free market. Conclusion: The people who got rich under our present system did not do so at anyone else's expense.
The unstated minor premise, that the present system of corporate capitalism is a free market, takes us back to right-conflationism. De Rugy is defending actually existing corporate capitalism, and the wealth obtained under it, as if it were a free market.
That's a premise that, if it were explicitly stated and held up for critical examination, would not bear much scrutiny.

Alan Faneca and Bill Nunn are 2021 Pro Football Hall of Fame Finalists
Alan Faneca always seems to get so close to entering the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In fact, he has been a finalist six times but always comes up short in the final vote. Faneca played 10 seasons with the Steelers and was honored in the Steelers Hall of Honor. Faneca was selected as a six-time All-Pro and was named to the Steelers All-Time Team in 2007.
Jerome Bettis on Alan Faneca: "His ability to play that position, dominate at that position, but be athletic enough to move around and travel from the standpoint of pulling as an offensive lineman was rare," said Hall of Fame running back Jerome Bettis. "Usually when you do it, it doesn't end in success. When Alan pulled, we had a tremendous amount of success with our ability to pull."
Bill Nunn is being nominated as a Contributor Finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021. Nunn contributed 46 years with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bill Nunn was one of the architects of the Pittsburgh Steelers Dynasty in the 1970's. Nunn was a Scout, Assistant Director Player Personnel, and Senior Scout. Nunn was very pivotal in the evolution of the Pittsburgh Steelers. In fact, Bill Nunn was the scout who assembled the 1974 draft class for the Steelers which included Lynn Swann, linebacker Jack Lambert, Stallworth and center Mike Webster. Art Rooney II is ecstatic he is nominated as a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021.
Art Rooney II on Bill Nunn becoming a finalist in the Pro Football Hall of Fame: "I am beyond thrilled to hear Bill Nunn has been selected a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a contributor," said Steelers President Art Rooney II at the time of the announcement. "Bill's contributions to the Steelers were extraordinary over the 46 years he was part of the organization. He was a special person who was a close friend and mentor before his passing in 2014. His lessons and stories are still evident in our everyday work.
More Art Rooney II on Bill Nunn becoming a finalist in the Pro Football Hall of Fame: "I look forward to hopefully celebrating his induction at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His legacy and career deserve to be recognized with the greatest individual honor in football, and we are excited he was chosen by the Contributor Committee as a finalist."
Bill Nunn should be a lock to make it into the 2021 Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is an absolute legend. Still unsure if Alan Faneca will get in this time around, but he is more than deserving to make it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame Selection Committee will vote virtually on January 19th for the Class of 2021's Pro Football Hall of Fame. Let's hope both Bill Nunn and Alan Faneca make it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Q: Need of EnumSet / EnumMap over generified Set / Map EnumSet/EnumMap can be created by specifying the defined enum to produce set/map instance as shown in below sample code.
So far I read, difference between EnumSet/EnumMap with that of Set/Map is that we cannot add objects other than the specified Enumin the EnumSet/EnumMap.
If this is the case, then just the generified Set/Map itself will be enough, isn't it?
Please find the EnumSet/EnumMap and their respective generified Set/Map as follows,
enum Value {
    VALUE_1, VALUE_2, VALUE_3
};

public class Sample {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        EnumSet<Value> enumSet = EnumSet.of(Value.VALUE_1);

        Set<Value> enumGenerifiedSet = new HashSet<Value>();
        enumGenerifiedSet.add(Value.VALUE_1);

        EnumMap<Value, Integer> enumMap = new EnumMap<Value, Integer>(Value.class);
        enumMap.put(Value.VALUE_1, 1);

        Map<Value, Integer> enumGenerifiedMap = new HashMap<Value, Integer>();
        enumGenerifiedMap.put(Value.VALUE_1, 1);
    }
}

So can you please tell me what is the need of having EnumSet/EnumMap eventhough we can able to create the set/map that is generified to the defined Enum?
Thanks in advance.

A: The interfaces are nearly identical. Though, the performance and the underlying mechanisms are completely different.
The documentation is pretty clear on this:

Enum sets are represented internally as bit vectors. This representation is extremely compact and efficient. The space and time performance of this class should be good enough to allow its use as a high-quality, typesafe alternative to traditional int-based "bit flags." Even bulk operations (such as containsAll and retainAll) should run very quickly if their argument is also an enum set.
[...]
null elements are not permitted. Attempts to insert a null element will throw NullPointerException. Attempts to test for the presence of a null element or to remove one will, however, function properly.
[...]
Implementation note: All basic operations execute in constant time. They are likely (though not guaranteed) to be much faster than their HashSet counterparts. Even bulk operations execute in constant time if their argument is also an enum set.

Le Serpent d'airain est un tableau de Pierre Paul Rubens, datant probablement d'entre 1635 et 1640. Il est conservé à la National Gallery de Londres.

Thème
La toile représente une scène de l'Ancien Testament. Les Israélites, coupables de paroles contre Dieu et Moïse, sont punis par l'envoi de serpents venimeux destinés à tuer les pécheurs. Moïse, cependant, pris de pitié et repentant de son accès de colère, forge un serpent de bronze (Nehushtan) : quiconque, mordu par des serpents venimeux, peut être sauvé en le regardant.

Le tableau semble inclure des travaux de ses élèves, qui se sont peut-être inspiré d'un modello de Rubens lui-même, l'artiste travaillant le résultat final.

BBtv: Hunting for the Kappa Monster in Tokyo, part 2
Xeni Jardin 8:40 am Fri Oct 31, 2008
Today on Boing Boing tv we continue a series of transmissions from Tokyo by our monster-hunting comrade Sean Bonner, who vanished mysteriously while seeking a legendary shrine devoted to the Kappa, a water-dwelling, ninja-turtle-like, child-sized creature who is fond of cucumbers and human colon meat, which it may access by grabbing up your butt.
In yesterday's installment, Sean hooked up with Matt Alt and Hiroko Yoda, authors of the previosly-boinged book Yokai Attack: The Japanese Monster Survival Guide, and the quest began. But the team vanished mysteriously, and we haven't been able to reach Sean for a week.
Today, he reappears, with proof that he has touched the mummified hand of the cucumber-loving amphibious prankster. He also brings us irrefutable proof that some of Japan's greatest manga artists found a source of inspiration in Kappa art. Also on the streets of Tokyo, just outside the shrine, BBtv's yokai squad discovered MONSTER KITTEH.

New Left Notes     June 24th, 1968      7
MORE   TABLED   RESOLUTIONS
THIRD PARTIES - THIRD TICKETS
First of all, let me identify myself
as supporting the non-PL "base-building*
group within SDS. I do not believe we
have the manpower to effect basic change
in the United States, nor do I believe
we can create the proverbial "intolerable
situation" for the Establishment via
institutional resistance. My non-PL
status is not an anti-PL one but one that
arises from the desire to generalize
the worker-student alliance to one of an
intellectual-population alliance. In this
respect I agree with Staughton Lynd that
the irrationality of our society has
reached such proportions that the
majority of the population (regardless of
specific role in the production process)
is basically alienated from the System.
The Establishment has succeeded in
playing the various oppressed groups off
against each other so far. This makes it
imperative for radicals to forge some
kind of common understanding of the
essence of the national problem with all
our potential allies. Unfortunately, much
of SDS's activities (especially»here at
Wisconsin where the experience is
perhaps more relevant to the country
at large than Columbia-Brooklyn College
and Berkeley-SF State-Oakland) have
increased our estrangement from the
people who are most oppressed by the
System (the working class, the alienated
middle class, et cetera). Other wedges
between groups that from the point of
view of common oppression are natural
allies are: black versus white—the most
obvious, worker versus taxpayer (in
cases of public employees), worker
verus consumer (the phony wage-price
spiral), and in Wisconsin and other
agricultural states, farmer versus_
As one way to forge such unity anW
understanding to cut across the
Establishment's lies, I would suggest
serious consideration be given to the
third-party movements that are cropping
up in a number of states. Many of the
SDS brothers and sisters have disdained
•electoral politics* because (a) voting is
a passive act requiring little commitment
and (b) by the campaign itself we are
furthering the false-consciousness among
the American population that elections
and parliamentarianism mean what the
Establishment liars say they mean. Both
of these arguments are powerful,
especially when buttressed by the recent
history of "peace* candidacies. (See
Studies on the Left re the Sheer
campaign.) They are also good arguments
in the light of the NCNP approach to the
1968 campaign which entails putting third
tickets on the ballot. In Pennsylvania, for
example, a Gregory-Sfrock ticket will be
presented to the voters in November.
As most SDS radicals can see, this
approach builds no base and merely
serves as a protest within the two-party
system which can easily absorb the
momentarily rebellious voters after
However, just as our PL brothers have
argued that labor's history of co-optation
and racism should not preclude work and
hope for change in its false consciousness,
I say we should not throw out the concept
of third parties as base-building
operations just because our experience
with electoral action has been negative.
Many SDS brothers and sisters have
found it worthwhile to work with the PFP
in California, The Black Panthers of
Oakland, whose claim to radicalism
should not need defense, have considered
the PFP a useful organizing tool. The
PFP for its part has participated in
numerous actions, has been a principled
source of opposition to McKennedy, and
has begun to consolidate the amorphous
base of sixty thousand which remains
now that the liberals have returned to
the Democratic Party. I believe that the
third-party idea at least deserves the
benefit of the doubt on the basis of the
California experience. People in Virginia,
Michigan, and New York, and even some
here in Wisconsin, obviously agree, as
they have developed the same kind of
idea concurrently. This summer both NY
and California PFP, together with the
Michigan New Politics Party, will be
participating jointly in a summer
organizing program in their states and
at least three others. I believe that SDS
brothers and sisters could do well to
link their People Against Racism and
anti-Draft activity with one of these local
political structures for mutual benefit.
Unfortunately, the most important
reason why SDS brothers and sisters
should support local third parties and
at the very least not waste time in
sniping criticism is a negative one. Ever
since the PFP started in its quest for
the ballot place in California, there has
been a major split between forces
supporting third parties and those
supporting third tickets. In California,
this split went beyond polite argumentation
and blossomed into a full-scale attempt
to sabotage the PFP. I will not waste
time calling names and specifying actions;
the Movement grapevine exposes those
shenanigans quite well. It is a shame to
have to bring the implications of this
split out into the open, but it is necessary
because by their hostile neutrality in this
split based on general suspicion of
electoral politics SDS brothers and
sisters may be guaranteeing their worst
fears by leaving the field by default to
those who support meaningless third
tickets and actively seek to sabotage
third parties.
In Washington, Oregon, Pennsylvania
there is a third ticket. In Michigan and
New York, third tickets compete with
third parties (Michigan PFP and New
York Freedom and Peace). What are
third tickets? And what's wrong with
them? Legally, the difference is that
a ticket can have no label, just a
candidate's name, and it dies after
Election Day. One might ask: So what's
the problem? Advertise the ticket as a
party. This is being done, of course,
but the basic question is one of content.
A party, because it is permanent, lays
the basis for separation from the
two-party system and permits the
independent development of a radical
program. A ticket can be manipulated
by a small elitist group that decides
the slogans in advance, maps out an
"educational* campaign, and forgets about
which is an obvious necessity in a nation
as varied and encompassing as many
decentralized grass-roots democracy,
different oppressed groups as ours.
It must have a candidate before it
solicits signatures for the place on the
ballot. Its sole function is pressure on
the established two parties; a vote for
the ticket is like a letter to your
Congressman. The ticket is a
public-relations gesture.
The general method of effecting the
split is observable in the state of New
York. By emphasizing Freedom over
Peace the so-called Freedom and Peace
Party has given primacy to the black
liberation movement. The method for
achieving this primacy has been to
pursue the NCNP 50-50 formula for
black-white coalitions. Despite our
original support for this scheme after the
Chicago convention, many people have
come to see that this is basically
unworkable. Blacks committed to
democratic decision-making have been
forced to totally disenfranchise
themselves because their power puts
them in the position of dictating. In fact,
the maneuver is basically an attempt
to smear Peace and Freedom with the
racist brush. In California, the
meaningful alliance within the Alameda
County PFP between Berkeley radicals
and the Panthers should belie this
accusation. In addition, it should be noted
that the Panthers scorn the 50-50
formula.
The Freedom and Peace Party claims

form. The Freedom and Peace Party
is supporting local Democratic Party
politicians in many upstate areas, and
their whole top-down approach (See their
ads with the usual appeal to authority
in The Guardian.) indicates that they are
within the rubric of pressure politics
rather than separation from the
two-party structure.
Without a decentralized democratic
structure dedicated to the long haul,
which third parties can have but which
third tickets cannot and do not, there
can be no relating of issues like Peace
and Freedom to the nitty-gritty local
concerns like taxes, education, and
prices. On the other hand, third parties
must be organized from the grass roots.
G. I. Organizing
WHEREAS: the Armed Forces of the
United States as presently constituted
are the primary instrument of American
imperialism and are used to oppress
people in the United States and other
countries;
WHEREAS: the Government coerces
individuals to serve as its instruments
of oppression by the Draft;
WHEREAS: these individuals are
exploited within the Armed Forces and
are then used to exploit other people;
BE IT RESOLVED: that the Students
for a Democratic Society initiate and
support activities directed toward
creating a radical political consciousness
among the members of the Armed Forces
(1) supporting in our Draft work those
individuals who wish to continue the
struggle against imperialism by entering
the Military for the purpose of
politicizing and organizing our brothers
in the Military, as well as continuing
to support th«truggles of those brothers
who wish to resist;
(2) setting up GI drop-in centers near
military installations offering a political
program aimed at aiding GIs in radical
struggle and organizing efforts in the
Military;
(3) encouraging individuals and chapters
to conduct an organized campaign to
involve GIs in their social and political
activities;
(4) establishing a military counseling
service;
(5) providing the needed support for
radical struggles within the Military—
demonstrations, publicity, printing
facilities,   et   cetera;
(6) providing support for deserters for
their demand for amnesty.
The June Convention should create an
SDS project for GI organizers with a
co-ordinating office in the New York
Region.
—The Workshop in GI Organizing
With a long-term perspective it matters
little if it qualifies for this or that
election, and crisis deadlines can be
made subservient to base-building that
need be ready for only one final deadline.
By dedicating itself to democratic
decentralization, the party will be forced
to confront people's needs and fears and
to deal in nitty-gritty local issues. Since
it must reach out to people on the basis
of their everyday lives, not on the basis
of sloganeering prevalent during a
campaign, it will be built upon education
that describes the substance of the
conditions of life. Candidates will run to
expand the base and push a general
program which relates local issues to
national ones.
ON THE BASIS OF THESE ARGUMENTS
I PROPOSE THE ENSUING RESOLUTION
WHEREAS: third-party movements
present the possibility for building and
expanding a radical base encompassing
hitherto divided oppressed groups within
our society—especially when it
encompasses non-electoral forms like
direct action;
WHEREAS: third tickets masquerading
as parties controlled by undemocratic
groups serve to channel discontent back
into the two Establishment parties;
BE IT RESOLVED:
A. that SDS maintain a fraternally
critical attitude toward all bona fide
radical third-party movements based on
decentralization and grass-roots
democracy to (1) encourage their growth
and (2) keep them honest (that is radical);
B. that SDS condemn the tactics and
organizing conception of the so-called
third parties that are in fact third tickets
because of their manipulative
undemocratic centralized organization,
their lack of staying power after
November, and their objective role in
sabotaging third-party movements;
C. that SDS urge its membership to
acquaint itself with the specific
ticket-versus-party struggle in their
areas;
D. that the SDS Inter-organizational
Secretary be mandated to establish lines
of communication with the third parties
of California, New York, Michigan, and
other states so that SDS's membership
can be kept informed of what is
happening;
E. that local SDS organizations and
Draft-resistance unions be urged to make
contact with local third-party
organizations for common action, mutual
education, mutual aid, et cetera;
F. that NLN solicit articles on the way
third-party movements can be kept
radical, can be used to expand the base,
can be kept from getting hung up on
vote-chasing, and in general can build
programs based on the connection of local
issues with the basic ones of imperialism
and corporation capitalism aimed at the
development of programs for
decentralized democratic communities
which will point the way toward a new

Full text New Left Notes June 24th, 1968 7 MORE TABLED RESOLUTIONS THIRD PARTIES - THIRD TICKETS First of all, let me identify myself as supporting the non-PL "base-building* group within SDS. I do not believe we have the manpower to effect basic change in the United States, nor do I believe we can create the proverbial "intolerable situation" for the Establishment via institutional resistance. My non-PL status is not an anti-PL one but one that arises from the desire to generalize the worker-student alliance to one of an intellectual-population alliance. In this respect I agree with Staughton Lynd that the irrationality of our society has reached such proportions that the majority of the population (regardless of specific role in the production process) is basically alienated from the System. The Establishment has succeeded in playing the various oppressed groups off against each other so far. This makes it imperative for radicals to forge some kind of common understanding of the essence of the national problem with all our potential allies. Unfortunately, much of SDS's activities (especially»here at Wisconsin where the experience is perhaps more relevant to the country at large than Columbia-Brooklyn College and Berkeley-SF State-Oakland) have increased our estrangement from the people who are most oppressed by the System (the working class, the alienated middle class, et cetera). Other wedges between groups that from the point of view of common oppression are natural allies are: black versus white—the most obvious, worker versus taxpayer (in cases of public employees), worker verus consumer (the phony wage-price spiral), and in Wisconsin and other agricultural states, farmer versus_ consumer. As one way to forge such unity anW understanding to cut across the Establishment's lies, I would suggest serious consideration be given to the third-party movements that are cropping up in a number of states. Many of the SDS brothers and sisters have disdained •electoral politics* because (a) voting is a passive act requiring little commitment and (b) by the campaign itself we are furthering the false-consciousness among the American population that elections and parliamentarianism mean what the Establishment liars say they mean. Both of these arguments are powerful, especially when buttressed by the recent history of "peace* candidacies. (See Studies on the Left re the Sheer campaign.) They are also good arguments in the light of the NCNP approach to the 1968 campaign which entails putting third tickets on the ballot. In Pennsylvania, for example, a Gregory-Sfrock ticket will be presented to the voters in November. As most SDS radicals can see, this approach builds no base and merely serves as a protest within the two-party system which can easily absorb the momentarily rebellious voters after November. However, just as our PL brothers have argued that labor's history of co-optation and racism should not preclude work and hope for change in its false consciousness, I say we should not throw out the concept of third parties as base-building operations just because our experience with electoral action has been negative. Many SDS brothers and sisters have found it worthwhile to work with the PFP in California, The Black Panthers of Oakland, whose claim to radicalism should not need defense, have considered the PFP a useful organizing tool. The PFP for its part has participated in numerous actions, has been a principled source of opposition to McKennedy, and has begun to consolidate the amorphous base of sixty thousand which remains now that the liberals have returned to the Democratic Party. I believe that the third-party idea at least deserves the benefit of the doubt on the basis of the California experience. People in Virginia, Michigan, and New York, and even some here in Wisconsin, obviously agree, as they have developed the same kind of idea concurrently. This summer both NY and California PFP, together with the Michigan New Politics Party, will be participating jointly in a summer organizing program in their states and at least three others. I believe that SDS brothers and sisters could do well to link their People Against Racism and anti-Draft activity with one of these local political structures for mutual benefit. Unfortunately, the most important reason why SDS brothers and sisters should support local third parties and at the very least not waste time in sniping criticism is a negative one. Ever since the PFP started in its quest for the ballot place in California, there has been a major split between forces supporting third parties and those supporting third tickets. In California, this split went beyond polite argumentation and blossomed into a full-scale attempt to sabotage the PFP. I will not waste time calling names and specifying actions; the Movement grapevine exposes those shenanigans quite well. It is a shame to have to bring the implications of this split out into the open, but it is necessary because by their hostile neutrality in this split based on general suspicion of electoral politics SDS brothers and sisters may be guaranteeing their worst fears by leaving the field by default to those who support meaningless third tickets and actively seek to sabotage third parties. In Washington, Oregon, Pennsylvania there is a third ticket. In Michigan and New York, third tickets compete with third parties (Michigan PFP and New York Freedom and Peace). What are third tickets? And what's wrong with them? Legally, the difference is that a ticket can have no label, just a candidate's name, and it dies after Election Day. One might ask: So what's the problem? Advertise the ticket as a party. This is being done, of course, but the basic question is one of content. A party, because it is permanent, lays the basis for separation from the two-party system and permits the independent development of a radical program. A ticket can be manipulated by a small elitist group that decides the slogans in advance, maps out an "educational* campaign, and forgets about which is an obvious necessity in a nation as varied and encompassing as many decentralized grass-roots democracy, different oppressed groups as ours. It must have a candidate before it solicits signatures for the place on the ballot.

The F-101 "Voodoo" was a lean mean supersonic jetfighter machine with a nasty pitch-up problem.
Designed by McDonnell in the 1950's , the F-101 was used by the United States Airforce and the Canadian Royal Air Force. The F-101 saw many unique roles in its 20+ year career. Originally designed to be a fighter-bomber, the aircraft quickly moved on into reconnaissance and continued to serve as a "utility infielder" of sorts with interception duties and a training role. Unfortunately, despite some of its advanced capabilities and its speed (for the time), there was a nasty little aerodynamic issue which caused the aircraft had a serious "pitch-up" problem that while improved, was never fully fixed.
Pitch-up is a type of aggravated stall that commonly occurs in aircraft of this wing type. An aircraft can stall at any time if the AOA is exceeded. In this case though, pitchup could occur and cause stability issues that actually would lead to a stall. The pitch-up was caused by downwash on the stabilizer during high AOA that causes both a pitch up from the downward force and a reduction in the effectiveness of the stabilizer itself. Essentially, the jet would become unstable.
The pitch-up tendency was actual double wammy against stable flight. If uncorrected, this issue could cause departure from controlled flight. Luckily, the Air Force was aware of these problems and created training videos concerning what needed to be done to correct the issue mid-flight. This video was put together to train pilots how to avoid the envelope where pitch-up was most likely to occur.
Now it's easy to look back on these early training videos and think how boring it must have been to watch them. But put yourself in the position of the crew for a moment. Here you were about to fly one of the most advanced fighters of the day and you were being told that if you exceed seemingly normal AOA's, you could depart controlled flight and not be able to recover. It would make me pay attention. That's for sure!
The F-101 flew with the RCAF and the US Air National Guard until 1982. Canada flew their jet until the F-18 replaced it in the late 1980s.

House Bill Would Prevent Extension of ObamaCare Subsidies
One of the House's most conservative lawmakers wants to prevent Congress from rescuing ObamaCare insurance subsidies if the Supreme Court strikes them down this month.
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) rolled out a bill Thursday that would repeal most parts of ObamaCare if the court rules against the government in King v. Burwell.
Unlike recently unveiled plans from House leadership, Gosar's plan does not include any extension of the subsidies.
That approach was immediately praised by Heritage Action, which has strongly opposed the continuation of the subsidies because they said it will "simply cover up the law's costs while giving the impression Republicans believe subsidies are necessary for Americans to afford health insurance."
The group described Gosar's plan as a "conservative response to King v. Burwell."
As many as 6.4 million people could lose their ObamaCare aid if the administration loses in court. While Republicans are eager to roll back the law, some fear the sudden loss of the subsidies could take a toll on the party's electoral chances in 2016.

According to the FujiFilm website on February 25th, 2019, FujiFilm Corporation President Kenji Sukeno came out with a public statement that FujiFilm would be enacting a minimum of a 30% price increase on film and photographic paper beginning April 1st, 2019.
With Fuji Prices set to skyrocket at least 30%, one can only wonder what the future holds for film stocks such as Fuji 400H.
As professional wedding photographers, we always like to have moment to survey our cost of doing business so we can sustainably keep doing what we love. So, let's talk a best case scenario of only a 30% increase. Fuji 400H in 120 is currently around $35 for a box of five rolls (depending on where it is bought, how many you buy at a time, etc.). A 30% increase would mean that same $35 box would end up being $45.50.
With lab rates ranging from $10 to $20 ($15 average) per roll for development and scanning, this could mean that a photographer shooting 10 rolls per wedding at 30 weddings per years (300 rolls shot, developed, and scanned, not counting shipping), would go from spending $6,600 per year to $7,230 per year on shooting film. That's a $630 increase, on average.
Now, $630 might not sound like much, but with our example cost already being over $6k, we believe this could be a sort of "writing on the wall" in regards to the future of film.
1. Stock up on Fuji 400H at the best price now, while you can.
2. Consider just how good digital cameras and film presets/profiles are getting, and perhaps consider positioning yourself to have a good transition if film prices go whack, "just in case". Consider checking out some great alternatives to shooting medium format film.
Hopefully the market doesn't force us to ask that question, but perhaps it already is.
Who knows, maybe FujiFilm will redact their plan to increase prices. But, history has taught us this: prices inevitably increase, but the professionals who know how to adapt and manage their business to best serve their clients will rise to the top.

Q: Connect SendObserver to ISendEndpoint obtained by consume context once I am trying to observe sent messages using SendObserver on an ISendEndpoint. When I use GetSendEndpoint from the consume context and add the observer using ConnectSendObserver I notice that the previous observers added from previous messages still exist, so the observer is called multiple times after the first message is sent.
Please note that I have to set the observer through the consume context.

A: You should use the ConnectHandle returned when the observer is connected to disconnect the observer once the sent messages have been observed. In your case, once the ConsumeContext is no longer being used - such as at the end of the consumer.
That way, you don't accumulate them over time.


Plaque buildup is one of the primary causes of various dental health issues, including bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease. These problems are generally prevented by practicing consistent and high quality oral care.
Plaque itself is a sticky white substance that remains attached to teeth. They are a waste product of bacteria, which naturally reside in your mouth. The bacteria grows in conjunction with sugars and food particles that remain on the teeth. Brushing your teeth regularly has long-term importance in removing plaque before it has a chance to build up. It is also essential to practice regular brushing and flossing.
If left on the teeth, plaque hardens into tartar. This is a hard, brownish, and difficult-to-remove substance. When you visit the dentist, special tools will be used to remove tartar from teeth. Regular, professional cleanings are enough to protect the teeth from tartar, ultimately reducing the chances of tooth decay or tooth loss.
When the untreated tartar continues to buildup, tooth decay results. Since plaque and tartar are acidic, they can eat through the tooth enamel and cause cavities. Extensive decay is also a possibility and you may lose your teeth. Losing any of your teeth, even if it is one, can cause the other ones to become misaligned.
To prevent any of the aforementioned problems, you must start with consistent brushing and flossing, then making regular visits to your dentist. It is better to avoid having a seemingly minor problem turn into a serious one down the line.


PLEASE NOTE: N.B. The chances that we can complete a full Spitsbergen circumnavigation (based on our experiences from 1992 – 2017) are about 30% in the first half of July, 70% in the second half, 90% in the first half of August, and 95% in the second half. In case we cannot complete a full circumnavigation, we may devise a program in northeast or southeast Spitsbergen. All itineraries are for guidance only. Programs may vary depending on ice, weather, and wildlife conditions. The onboard expedition leader determines the final itinerary. Flexibility is paramount for expedition cruises.

Using help from throughout the congregation and beyond, this committee is able to accomplish a tremendous amount of good. In addition to its "hands on" projects, the committee is in charge of deciding which nonprofit organizations the church will support through monetary donations.
The Guild Circles continue a 75-year tradition of women's fellowship, serving the needs of the church and the wider community. The Guild organizes and runs clothing sales three times each year. Income from these sales and from donations supports Guild outreach benevolences, as well as funding our church. The Guild is an active member of the Scarsdale-Hartsdale Interfaith Council. Guild membership is unconditionally extended to all women of the church.
The Youth Action Committee (YAC) is made up of high school students who are interested in volunteering their time for community service projects. We recognize that high schoolers are busy, so the group's meetings are action-oriented and not lengthy. YAC projects focus on addressing the problems of hunger and homelessness and the plight of the Oglala Lakota Native Americans. In November, YAC coordinates a community-wide food drive to supply the local interfaith food bank, of which we are a founding member. YAC coordinates and participates in a Midnight Run every January to distribute clothing and food to the homeless of New York City. Every other year, members of YAC have spent their spring vacations renovating homes for the Oglala Lakota tribe on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.

Did you know that Waikiki used to have a grove of more than 10,000 coconut trees?
Today, tourists can take a step back in time when visiting the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki. Located in the heart of the center is The Royal Grove. It was inspired by the historic Helumoa oasis and spans more than 30,000-square-feet across the center's grounds. While it may not have as many coconut trees as it did in the past, the grove does make sure to be ethno-botanically sensitive by including native foliage to its landscaping.
The Royal Grove is also the site for performances of Hawaiian story-telling, music and dance. We watched a (free) Hawaiian jazz show at this open-aired space, which was especially nice on that clear and starry night. There's also plenty of seating for curious passerbys to have a sat and enjoy the show.
One of the most significant features of the Helumoa of present day includes an elegant bronze statue of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. As the great-granddaughter of King Kamehameha I, Pauahi inherited Helumoa during the 1880s. She was a well-known Hawaiian philanthropist who established Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu.
If you want to learn more about Pauahi or about the royal grove itself, take a few minutes to visit the Kaulani Heritage Room nearby. It's a mini theater offering short films on Hawaiian history, Helumoa heritage and contemporary Hawaiian society.

Declan McManus scored his third goal in as many games to earn Raith a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their play-off clash with League One Brechin at Glebe Park.
Brechin had barely threatened when they took the lead on the stroke of half-time.
Jean Yves Mvoto brought down striker Andy Jackson in the box and Ross Caldwell stepped up to send the goalkeeper the wrong way from the penalty spot.
The Championship visitors improved after the break and hauled themselves level with 20 minutes remaining, McManus scoring with a superb 25-yard free-kick.
Raith dominated the closing stages, with Kyle Benedictus seeing a shot fumbled by goalkeeper Graeme Smith, but the home side held on.


Don't you just love this new bingo toaster? In fact, it's not being marketed as a bingo toaster, although its designers claim that it is the world's first rotary toaster. The advantage of this design, apart from it being a substitute bingo cage, is that it will toast bread that isn't flat.
In fact, this device is not being called a bingo toaster at all, but is in fact name the "Patentee". That sounds like the past tense of patented in French to me. The toaster is indeed a French design. However, I think they have misnamed it. Bingo Toaster would be preferable, especially if they want the design to do well in the UK market.

Searching for popular keywords is easy, but the same does not apply when searching low SEO difficulty keywords. [eafl id="9455″ name="KWFinder" text="KWFinder"] by Mangools is replacing the traditional inefficient SEO keyword research tools thick and fast. The following is a thorough and unbiased KWFinder Review – the keyword research tool we have been using for weeks now.
Is KWFinder by Mangools the best keyword research tool to achieve this objective easily. Go through a detailed KWFinder Review below and decide yourself.
Keywords are the most important parameter for on-page SEO. Besides, PageRank and Domain Authority, it is the keywords in your article that determine its position in search engine results.
Writing great quality and epic articles is not enough. If your article does not get high rank and unlimited organic traffic, how much traffic can you really drive with paid campaigns on social media and search engines?
According to Search Engine Journal, 70% of links that users click on are organic while nearly 80% of paid links are ignored.
The SEO keyword research is not about using any keyword generator to generate common SEO keywords. It is also not about just using any keyword search tool to search keywords related to your topic.
It is about finding the best keywords for SEO. Furthermore, you have to understand the various types of SEO keywords available so that you can choose and use them correctly in your articles. Once you do that, your articles will surpass your competitors, and web traffic will overflow every day.
Single-Word-Keywords – These are most searched keywords with a single word that could be your primary keyword. These keywords have extremely high traffic and competition. Therefore, these are high difficulty keyword.
Head or Short-tail-Keywords– These are keywords with 2-3 words that could be your primary keyword but more often used in the headings of the articles. They generally have very high traffic and competition, but some also have comparatively low traffic and competition.
LSI-Keywords – These are keywords that are related to the primary keyword or commonly associated with it. LSI, single-word, and head keywords can be Meta keywords for adding tags to your article for better ranking.
Long-Tail-Keywords – These are keywords with 3-7 words. They could be in the headings or in the body. They have low keyword difficulty. An article with these keywords has higher chances of getting higher page rank result.
The success of your article lies in the combined usages of all these keywords with right keyword density. But before that, you have to search for the best keywords in each of these categories.
KWFinder by Mangools is the best keyword research tool by far. Instead of just using the same keywords your competitors are using, KWFinder also helps you to find the keywords that your competitors are missing out.
Therefore, you will have a greater chance of outshining them on search engines. It is a great alternative to Google Keyword Planner that most people use.
The reason why you should make a switch from AdWords Tool – Keyword Planner to KWFinder is that KW Finder is more effective, accurate, and efficient.
When you do Google keyword search, it shows you monthly search volume range. On the other hand, KW Finder shows you the exact searched volume. This helps in determining the best SEO keyword.
For example: you searched "WordPress" on Keyword Planner. You will see many keywords having monthly search volume range in between 10k and 100k. You cannot be sure which would be best for you as there is no exact figure. Instead, KWFinder lists keywords with exact search value (no range) like 18,000 which is more effective.
When it comes to keyword difficulty, Keyword Planner shows competition as low, medium and high. You will always be in an indecisive state of mind until you use KWFinder.
It shows you an exact score and ranks the keywords accordingly. According to Mangools Blog, they claim that their other parameters like CPC are more accurate than Google. Furthermore, keyword planner has an awful UI is comparison to KWFinder.
Keyword Suggestion – Just like any other keyword suggestion tool, KWFinder provides all the related SEO keywords. But it is quite an advanced keyword analyzer as it lists Google SERPs and important parameters of the web pages and websites such as domain authority, MOZ rank, MOZ trust, external link count, social media pages' stats and most importantly, SEO competitiveness. This is exactly why it is the best keyword analysis tool.
Any keyword below 55 on the competitiveness score sheet, you should go for it. Anything above that could make it hard to overcome the competition unless you have a high PageRank website.
Keyword Autocomplete – KWFinder uses Google autocomplete feature to suggest related keywords (short-tail and long-tail) for any particular supplied keyword. Therefore, you can find out SEO keywords that people are searching for (high search volume) and have low competition. This makes it a unique keywords suggestion tool.
Keyword Questions – Most of the users type their queries in form of questions on the search engines. With his feature, it lists all the questions related to your supplied keyword. They are long-tail keywords and will help to form your titles and headings.
Long Tail Keyword Research – KWFinder is the best long tail keyword research tool at present. You can find the low competition and high search volume long tail keywords very easily. KWFinder's autocomplete and question tools are best for finding them and to make a list of keyword.
Country and Language – The ability to research keywords based on country and language makes it the best SEO keyword tool. You can choose local keywords according to the audiences you would prefer.
Trend – The unique trend feature shows you the stat of the keywords for the last 12 months. You can understand clearly which keywords are in trend and which are going out of it. Therefore, you can optimize your selected keywords accordingly.
Better User-Experience– You can save a result as a list. There is an option to see the history of your previous searches. You can import keyword list and export the result pages easily. You can also filter the results according to various parameters.
The Only Negative – This is not a great tool to do website keyword analysis. Hence, you cannot analyze your competitor's website thoroughly.
Other Mangools Tools – Apart from KWFinder, Mangools have two other products which are very useful and related to keyword research.
SERP Checker – This tool will help you analyze and do SEO research on your competitors. You can find out all the SEO parameters of your competitors' web pages. You have to enter a keyword to find out the top performing pages for that keyword. Among those pages, SERP Checker clearly points out the strengths and weaknesses on which you can capitalize and outshine them. You can search by country and device type. There are around 50 SEO metrics available for your judgment.
SERP Watcher – This tool helps to track your own keyword position and performance on the search engines for different keywords. You can also see your performance in different countries and device types like desktop, and mobile.
I am confident that after having read this KWFinder Review, you would definitely give KWFinder a try.
The free version has certain limitations yet you can search for keywords 3 times a day. The result is restricted to 25 keywords per search.
You are sure to find it useful and you can go for an upgrade and purchase an annual plan as per your requirement. The rates are one of the cheapest in the market. They have live chat support for instant reply.
The bottom line of this KWFinder review is that KWFInder is the best keyword research and analysis tool.
You can find keywords for SEO according to keyword ranking and difficulty. Most of the KWFinder reviews on the internet are extremely positive. Several popular companies like Alexa, Airbnb, and Adidas are using it for better research and ranking.
Hope this KWFinder review helped you in making a smarter choice.
The bottom line of this KWFinder review is that KWFInder is the best keyword research and analysis tool. You can find keywords for SEO according to keyword ranking and difficulty.
Great Article.. Indeed, KWFinder is a great tool. A simple UI, Easy to use interface and great keyword research is all what you need.

Heroin use and the misuse of prescription opioids are increasing in pandemic proportions everywhere, especially here in Western Pennsylvania. Overdose deaths in our area are among one of the highest in the country, and unfortunately, these numbers are only expected to increase.
In today's society, social media is one of the quickest and most efficient ways to raise awareness, especially among teens; so who better to get a message across teens themselves? The FBI Pittsburgh Division's Community Outreach Program and the FBI Pittsburgh HOPE Initiative has formulated a strategic working group comprised of representatives from federal, state and local law enforcement, education administrators and key community leaders to address solutions to this issue and are focused on reaching all students in Western Pennsylvania. We are striving to formulate proactive solutions through the working group, specifically in Education, Prevention and Awareness methods.
We seek to message the dangerous threat that opioid use poses to the teenage populace by inviting teens in grades 9-12 to form a team, create and submit a 1-3 minute video that focuses on the dangers and consequences of choosing to use opioids.
Please help us Speak Out to Save Lives, on this year's theme : OPIOID REHABILITATION- WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT? DESTIGMATIZING THE MYTHS BEHIND THE REALITY OF THIS LIFELONG STRUGGLE.

Think about the dangerous consequences of opioid use, how the effects can be immediate and fatal, even if the user only tries it one time. Think about how fast addiction can happen when using an opioid, and how rehabilitation is a lifelong struggle. Talk to others about what the best way is to tell people how serious a problem this is, and what type of message would be most effective to stop people from taking this risk, and work to fight the stigma and stereotypes that may stop others from being open to seek help.

Dallas Soccer News - FC Dallas CONCACAF Champions League group phase
FC Dallas moves on to CONCACAF Champions League group phase
Published 8/3/2011 11:16:54 PM by staff from dallas
In 2008, FC Dallas struggled through league competition sitting at or near the bottom of the league standings and lacked cohesion on the pitch. Midway through the season, the club brought on longtime SMU coach Schellas Hyndman to help the club find success. During his first year-and-a-half at the reigns, FC Dallas failed to qualify for the playoffs and advance in the domestic US Open Cup.
Fast-forward to 2011 and FC Dallas has earned their first berth in the CONCACAF Champions League, the most prestigious club tournament in the region, with a 2-0 aggregate goals win over Salvadoran side Alianza FC Wednesday night.
"It wasn't an easy road in the beginning and I think now we are all proud of what this team has accomplished," Hyndman said in his postgame press conference. "It's a tremendous accomplishment for our team. They have worked hard in the last year to qualify for this great event."
In front of a split crowd of Salvadoran and Dallas fans at Pizza Hut Park, the home side took the lead through a first-half header from center back Ugo Ihemelu and kept a tight defense to hold off the 2011 Clausura champions from San Salvador. During the games final 30 minutes, FCD used organization and communication to hold off a pesky Alianza.
The match featured four yellow cards, 37 fouls, and an ankle injury to FC Dallas' Jackson to which Hyndman said, "everything seems to be fine." Defensively it was the same story as it has been in 2011 with center backs George John and Ihemelu working well with captain Daniel Hernandez and the players around them.
"Early in the season we worked on our communication and keeping our shape," said the goal-scoring center back. "Towards the end they just started throwing numbers forward and when that happens you have to keep your shape and communicate because you're basically outnumbered at times."
Offensively, the team struggled with the final touch. Cross after cross was driven into the box but nobody was on the other end to put the ball home. Finally, after creating numerous opportunities in Alianza's defensive third of the field, Ihemelu came forward on a Ricardo Villar corner kick and showed the FC Dallas attacking unit how it's done.
"It was basically a set piece that we run," said Ihemelu. "Ricardo – he's great on set pieces and usually he looks for George and I. He just happened to put a good ball in and I saw I had a chance for it and just went up to challenge for it."
Now the real work starts. Dallas join Group C and their first opponent comes against perhaps the best team in the competition: Pumas UNAM of the Mexican Primera Division.
"I think going down and playing Pumas in Mexico, I think it's fantastic," stated Hyndman. "We want to play against some of the best teams in CONCACAF because I think what it does is it gives us a measuring stick and also I think it represents MLS."
