HISTORICAL INFORMATION PRE 1998
UPAS Takes Off
The on line service for job seeking pilots continues to grow.
YEARS AGO, ALPA HELPED establish the Universal Pilot Application Service, Inc., the online system for companies looking for pilots and pilots looking for companies. Since then, UPAS has taken off, with hundreds companies and thousands of pilots using it for help with searches for employees or jobs.
UPAS President Judy Tarver says the major, regional, charter and corporate airlines are now using UPAS for their pilot hiring needs. Some carriers use the service as one of several resources for new pilot hiring, but TWA looks only to UPAS to find new cockpit crewmembers.
Second Officer Sean Clarke, a B 727 flight engineer, has been with TWA since September 1996, thanks in part to UPAS. He is one of many pilots TWA has hired since the airline began using UPAS when the service started in 1994.
"I was very pleased with the UPAS services throughout the hiring process," S O Clarke explains. "The UPAS staff was very accommodating - especially to my working schedule - and I was able to update my credentials right through my computer," he says.
For pilots such as S O Clarke and hundreds of others who have found jobs through the on line system, UPAS is working exactly as it was designed to do when ALPA helped establish it as a way to help qualified pilots enter into and move up in today's turbulent aviation industry.
UPAS's roots go back to 1992 when ALPA established the national Pilot Training Service Committee, with Capt. Robert A. Pastore (TWA) as the chairman. He explains that one of the Committee's first mandates was to develop a centralized database of pilot qualifications from which companies could search for qualified candidates.
In April 1994, ALPA's Executive Council passed a resolution to officially establish UPAS as a separate corporation, wholly owned by ALPA.
ALPA's Executive Board approved the loan from the Association's Operating Contingency Fund to begin the project, and people from both inside and outside of the Association were named officers of UPAS and appointed to its Board of Directors.
UPAS began with just a few staff employees, including Tarver, who had been the manager of pilot recruitment at American Airlines, and computer consultant Doug Henderson, who developed UPAS's sophisticated software programs.
UPAS operated from a small office in ALPA's Herndon, VA., building during its first 2 years; but as more companies and pilots joined the on line service, the staff grew and UPAS needed larger quarters. During the summer of 1996, UPAS relocated to another Herndon office complex, with enough space for the current 10 UPAS employees.

Senior Vice President Research and Innovation
University of Arizona Established in 1885, the University of Arizona, the state's land-grant university produces graduates who are real- world ready through its 100% Engagement Initiative. UA is advancing the frontiers of interdisciplinary scholarship and entrepreneurial partnerships and is a member of the Association of American Universities, the nation's 62 leading public and private research universities. UA's annual budget is $2.2 billion, and it enrolls 45,000 students each year; recognized as a global leader, the UA is also a leader in research, bringing more than $622 million in research investment each year, and ranking 22nd among all public universities. UA benefits the state with an estimated economic impact of $8.3 billion annually. The University's Research Enterprise The University of Arizona is classified as a Carnegie Foundation "RU/VH: Research Universities (very high research activity)" university (formerly "Research 1" university). UA has more than $622 million in research investment each year and ranks 22nd nationally among all public universities. The pillars of Arizona's new strategic plan research initiatives are (i) Space Technology, Development and Defense for the Fourth Industrial Revolution; (ii) Future Earth; Shaping a Resilient Natural and Built Environment, (iii) Healthier Communities, Aging and the Brain, and Resilient Humans; (iv) Humans, Society, and Intelligent Systems; and College of Data, Computing, and Network Science. The Research Office provides services to the University for proposal development, compliance and integrity, and core facilities. The Vice President for Research will report to this SVP position. The University's Areas of Excellence – Opportunities for Signature Deals Significant partnerships, commercialization, and social impact will likely come in the areas where UA has demonstrated excellence and plans for future investment and development. The SVP and staff will have/develop keen understandings of research in these domains and work with the Provost, Senior Vice President Research, deans, and faculty to develop joint research and funding streams with commercial and not for profit partners. The "deal team" will focus on partnerships that bridge academic units and multiple faculty and build on current corporate engagement programs which will move under the SVP's office (https://research.arizona.edu/corporate-engagement). The university's goal is to create ten new, significant alliances, many of which will occur in UA's areas of excellence. Partnering agreements will be achieved with both established organizations and new companies. Areas of excellence include the following foci: In space technology and exploration, UA ranks #1 in the country in research and development. Future possibilities for research and development include (i) humans and robots, (ii) expanding understanding of the origins of life in space, (iii) developing monitoring technologies and (iv) business models for space development. Commercial ventures in these areas are accelerating and UA should be a prime partner for joint research and development endeavors. A focus on future earth research will include planning such as predictive modeling and linking this modeling to built environment models, building resilience to extreme climates, and creating solutions to create a sustainable built environment. Here too joint endeavors with external organizations will accelerate commercial application of discoveries and advancements by UA faculty and researchers. UA's two medical schools and basic science departments across the university are developing approaches and new therapies for personalized medicine through work on precision health and the brain and the immune system. Major alliances with other research intense institutions and biopharma firms will be effective for advancing science through multi investigator and multi institutional efforts. Fostering permeable boundaries across science, engineering, and human health will support UA's efforts to integrate research in human, society, and intelligent systems. This work will include advancing technology of intelligent systems and human engagement with these systems, defining law, privacy, and security in an increasingly digital world, and applying visual literacy, design thinking, and creative expression to solve critical human problems. Delivering Discoveries to the Market Tech Launch Arizona (TLA) is the university principal pathway for commercializing discoveries, inventions, and new knowledge. Commercialization is the process of turning discoveries into inventions, first by patenting intellectual property, then licensing those patents to established companies or to new UA startups. TLA's 25 staff (including mentors/executives in residence) are responsible for working with faculty to increase invention disclosure and then patent discoveries, license proprietary technology to commercial firms, and work with entrepreneurs and investors to create start up companies. This work includes working with the angel funding groups in southern Arizona, venture firms from across the country, and entrepreneurs to launch start-up companies. The university's goals in the next few years are to increase invention disclosures to over 400 and launch 50+ start ups based on UA discoveries. The start ups are likely to cluster in the areas of excellence described above. Building an Innovation Ecosystem Ecosystem development combines outreach and advocacy to create a regional business environment where inventors, entrepreneurs and established businesses have the resources they need to thrive, backed by sound policy and a culture of innovation. The SVP will have several tools to expand the current environment. The first two tools are the Corporate Engagement programs and TLA. Additionally, under the direction of the SVP, UA's research parks – Tech Parks Arizona - will be places for university related research as well as the Corporate Engagement and TLA staff. Tech Parks Arizona creates the place, environment, and interactive ground that generates, attracts and retains technology companies and talent in alignment with the research, mission and goals of the university. Tech Parks Arizona is the umbrella organization for the UA Tech Park at Rita Road, UA Tech Park at The Bridges, and the Arizona Center for Innovation with the highest priority of recruiting companies with connections to the UA to locate at these facilities. UA Tech Park at Rita Road includes 2,000,000 square feet of research, development, and manufacturing space occupied by well established companies such as Raytheon and IBM. The Arizona Center for Innovation – located at Rita Road – provides mentoring, support services, and facilities for faculty wishing to advance research to a pre-commercial stage and early stage companies. UA Tech Park at the Bridges, which is initially planned to add an additional 2,000,000 square feet of space, will be developed with a UA partner – it is close to campus and will house incubator/accelerator facilities, maker space for use by faculty and students, both the Corporate Engagement and TLA staff, offices and labs for startup companies, and event space for regional meetings of investors, faculty/researchers, and entrepreneurs. The Bridges will be adjacent to a large scale development of retail, offices, restaurants, and living units; the overarching goal of the full development is creating a live, work, and play innovation district.

Depends, as with many of these things.
Yes, there is the reaction you mention. You will occasionally get Greeks (and non-Greeks) reminding you that the Roman Empire kept going for 1000 years after 476, thank you very much—though the relation of Greeks to Byzantium is more complicated than that.
There is the haunting feeling that we'll never measure up to the ancient Greeks (one that the Byzantines shared).
There's the reaction against that, with "we're sick of hearing about the ancient Greeks". You won't get much of that aired to non-Greeks, but if you google Αρχαίοι Ημών Πρόγονοι ("Our Ancient Ancestors" in Katharevousa) and can translate what is being said, much of it makes fun of Greek ancestor-worship.
It's a profoundly ambivalent relationship. The unlettered peasants 300 years ago had a much more straightforward relationship with the Hellenes: they were this race of pagan giants, the folk who built all them ruins; and they died out because they fell over, and couldn't get back up…
EDIT: See also Do many modern Greeks feel a sense of failure or perhaps inferiority when compared with their ancient Greek ancestors? (where I say pretty much the same.)

US Air Force, IBM unveil world's largest neuromorphic digital synaptic supercomputer
Blue Raven takes 40 watts of power to run
Sebastian Moss
The Air Force Research Laboratory has built the world's largest neuromorphic digital synaptic supercomputer, using IBM's TrueNorth technology.
Blue Raven, installed at AFRL's Information Directorate Advanced Computing Applications Lab in Rome, New York, is the culmination of a partnership between the Air Force's R&D division and IBM that was announced last year.
SyNAPSE's child
– AFRL
AFRL claims the new supercomputer has a processing power that is equivalent to 64 million neurons and 16 billion synapses, while only consuming 40 watts. The system fits in a 4U-high (7in) space in a standard server rack.
"AFRL was the earliest adopter of TrueNorth for converting data into decisions," Daniel S. Goddard, director of information directorate at AFRL, said in 2017.
"The new neurosynaptic system will be used to enable new computing capabilities important to AFRL's mission to explore, prototype and demonstrate high-impact, game-changing technologies that enable the Air Force and the nation to maintain its superior technical advantage."
TrueNorth chips were originally launched in 2014 after several years of research as part of DARPA's $53.5 million SyNAPSE (Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics) program.
In 2016, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and IBM collaborated on a TrueNorth machine to help the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) in its core missions of cybersecurity and stewardship of the US' nuclear weapons stockpile, and promotion of nonproliferation.
Blue Raven's project manager is Mark Barnell, who also led AFRL's PlayStation 3 Condor Cluster, while the system's principal computer scientist is Dr. Qing Wu.
AFRL notes that it is currently investigating applications for the technology, but highlighted pattern recognition and integrated sensory processing, as well as the challenge of autonomous systems.
We talked to the head of IBM's TrueNorth project, Dr Dharmendra S. Modha, as well as several other neuromorphic computing leaders - including Professor Steve Furber, Professor Karlheinz Meier, and the founder of the field, Carver Mead - for the cover feature of the October/November issue of DCD>Magazine

My blog is suppose to be about retirement/seniors but it is mostly political simply because of the toxic atmosphere caused by the present political personnel. However, do not take the political atmospheric conditions as meaning it does not have anything to do with retirees or their tranquil lives. The retiree's life is anything but tranquil knowing the storms from hell are approaching (new laws or discontinued laws) and hidden dangers are everywhere. Us retirees are being cloaked from the true facts of the turmoil that is before us. There is an attempt to shield us from hearing facts, truths and seeing the cause and effect of political actions and utterances.
Because of these actions (a lot of inaction) we have been hoodwinked into believing that we are better than before and will be even better yet. Don't be fooled, like the slight of hand, what you see is not really what you see. Some of the endeavors of our present government have come to fruition and the most of it does not look good. I will only list a tiny amount of things that have happened which have an affect on us seniors/retirees.
First, patient dumping. Employees were video recorded wheeling a patient wearing a hospital gown, socks and nothing else, to a bus stop in front of a hospital on a cold, windy night. They left the poor woman there. Don't ask why. This have been going on for a while but people now believe it is okay because of the new administration. Another is the fact we have heads of agencies that are not qualified or have a conflict of interest because they are either against the agency they head or have had opposing dealings before. One fact in point, a woman heads an agency but now is backing a company to do contract work which have a direct money deal with her. Our tax money at work, straight to her pocket. The rich get richer and us poor people get poorer. One last point is how we teach our children, grandchildren about the brashness of using vulgar language. How to respect other people, no matter where they are from or who they are. Not so for our President. He teach the usage of vulgar language and racist disrespect. So goes the President, so goes the USA. Don't listen to grandpa or grandma, the President will show you and tell you the way to do it.
I am only saying one thing. Just because you are older now and think politics is a piece of the past, a thing you used to dabble in, think again. When your grand-kids tell you to ****. The President did it first. When you go to the hospital and your co-pay is more than you can afford and you get put out into the cold, the President said it is okay. When your roads and bridges or whatever is in disrepair but your tax bill keep getting higher, remember the President put that incompetent person in charge.
Politics is something we all should have a say about and keep saying it loudly. Because you are retired does not mean you give up on your rights or give up on life.
Lastly, I recently attended a commemoration of Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. There were many non-residents in attendance in the Imperial Plaza's auditorium which contrasted the poor turn out of the Imperial Plaza's residents. There is a large Black community among the four buildings but, as usual, there was a very poor turnout of Black people for the program. The Black Mayor (Richmond) and Black Police Chief (Richmond) was in attendance and spoke to many people. Many Army personnel from Fort Lee were there and that reminded me that many people don't realize a Black History fact. Afro-Americans have participated in every war and/or conflict there ever was in and for the USA including The Revolutionary War and both sides of The Civil War.
I have been getting a lot of hits and followers on this blog but, in case you don't know, I have another blog at www.faithingodministries.net Hope you will also read and enjoy that blog. Let me know.

All women who will be pregnant through the influenza season (October – May in the United States) should be vaccinated against influenza, according to recommendations made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACIP) and supported by the COP.
Influenza, commonly called "the flu," is an illness caused by RNA viruses that infect the respiratory tract of many animals, birds, and humans. In most people, the infection results in the person getting fever, cough,headache, and malaise (tired, no energy); some people also may develop a sore throat, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The majority of individuals has symptoms for about one to two weeks and then recovers with no problems. However, compared with most other viral respiratory infections, such as the common cold, influenza (flu) infection can cause a more severe illness with a mortality rate (death rate) of about 0.1% of people who are infected with the virus.
Most candidates who get the flu recover completely in one to two weeks, but some develop serious and potentially life-threatening medical complications, such as pneumonia.
Studies of healthy young adults have shown influenza vaccine to be 70%-90% effective in preventing illness. Studies show the vaccine reduces hospitalization by about 70% and death by about 85% among the elderly who are not in nursing homes. Among nursing-home residents, vaccine can reduce the risk of hospitalization by about 50%, the risk of pneumonia by about 60%, and the risk of death by 75%-80%.
Pregnant women are vulnerable to the risks from seasonal influenza and also had excess mortality during the influenza pandemics of 1918 to 1919, 1957 to 1958, and the 2009 pandemic — supporting the need for vaccination in this group. All women who will be pregnant through the influenza season (November- March) should be vaccinated against influenza, according to recommendations made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACIP) and supported by the COP.
As long as there is a sufficient supply of vaccination, unvaccinated pregnant women should be immunized at any time during influenza season, using inactivated influenza vaccine. It is preferable, though, to vaccinate pregnant women early in the influenza season, regardless of gestational age. Live attenuated influenza vaccine is contraindicated during pregnancy.
Research suggests that pregnancy increases the risk for complications from the flu, including pneumonia and symptoms severe enough to require hospitalization. Since pregnancy alters an expectant mother's immune system, impacting the functions of both the heart and lungs, a case of the flu can become problematic. Influenza during pregnancy can increase the risk of miscarriage, and the high, sustained fever some women experience with the flu increase the risk of the birth defect spina bifida.
Live vaccines are NOT recommended for pregnant women.
In addition, maternal immunity achieved through vaccination is the only effective strategy for newborns, because the influenza vaccine is not approved for use in infants younger than 6 months. A prospective, blinded, randomized controlled trial showed fewer cases of laboratory-confirmed influenza and of respiratory illness with fever among infants of immunized mothers.
Note: If you have an allergy or sensitivity to eggs, or any previous negative affect from an influenza vaccination, let your health care provider know. The flu vaccination is probably not appropriate for you in this case. In addition to getting vaccinated – or if you have an egg allergy and can't get the shot –you can reduce your chance of getting influenza by washing your hands frequently with a mild soap and warm water and avoiding close contact with anyone who has the illness.
If you're pregnant and you think you have the flu, contact your midwife or doctor without delay. Do not take any over-the-counter products, including herbal remedies, until cleared by your health care provider. Some over-the-counter flu remedies, dietary supplements, and herbals are dangerous during pregnancy.

Sarah Palin mocked on Twitter for claiming her guns keep sexual harassers away
Sarah Palin on sexual harassment, via Twitter
Sarah Palin gave her thoughts about the recent sexual assault scandals in the news, and even cited her guns for why she doesn't get harassed.
by Robert Sobel
November 16, 2017 at 5:50 PM November 16, 2017 at 5:50 PM
In the aftermath of the growing allegations of sexual harassment and assault against various high-profiled men, the news has dominated the headlines. When asked if she had her own personal experience to speak of, Sarah Palin gave a unique answer.
Palin on sexual harassment
It all started last month when the New York Times broke the door down with their exclusive report about the allegations of sexual assault and harassment against Harvey Weinstein. The well-known film producer was accused of various acts of assault, dating back to decades in Hollywood.
In the days and weeks that followed, numerous women came forward to reveal their alleged experiences with the film mogul, which has led to Weinstein being fired from his company and ostracized as a result. Since then, various actors, directors, producers, and even politicians have been accused of similar acts. The latest stories has revolved around Roy Moore, the Republican Senate candidate in Alabama, who was accused of sexually assaulting underage girls on multiple occasions over the last four decades. On the Democratic side, Sen. Al Franken was accused of forcibly kissing a woman and has since apologized for the act. As reported by NBC News on November 16, Sarah Palin was asked about whether or not she had gone through a similar situation.

— MSNBC (@MSNBC) November 16, 2017
Speaking to NBC reporter Kasie Hunt, former half-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin spoke about the current issues of sexual assault and harassment in the workplace as it pertains to the aforementioned headlines.
"It's amazing what happened today," Palin said in response to the Al Franken allegations. "It's very important we are consistent...it's not a partisan issue," she continued.
When asked if she had ever been the victim of sexual harassment, Sarah Palin explained that her reputation of carrying a gun was likely the reason why men stayed away.
"You know, I think a whole lot of people know that, I'm probably packing," Palin said. "I don't think there's a whole lot of people who would necessarily mess with me," she added."
Leeann Tweeden, who alleges Al Franken groped and kissed her without consent, says she believes his apology is "heartfelt" https://t.co/qKyrSc0poE pic.twitter.com/gKf1dadhPf
— CNN (@CNN) November 16, 2017
Sarah Palin went on to say that it "really stinks" that women have been victims of sexual harassment, but warned against potential false allegations. "The floodgates are really open that could lead to a lot of false accusations that really harm an innocent person," she concluded.
.@gdebenedetti on Roy Moore's response to sexual assault allegations: "He's doing whatever he can to rile up his supporters against the establishment. He's not actually having a conversation about sexual assault." #MTPDaily
— Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) November 16, 2017
Twitter reacts
After Sarah Palin's remarks were made public, social media users were quick to fire back with thoughts of their own.
"So, there was literally nobody else available you could talk to?" one tweet read.
I'm thinking they're just not into crazy...
— ChiTownHarleyGranny (@OfTheGrandKids) November 16, 2017
LMAO...is it that or is it that you're crazy as a loon?

"LOL...is it that or is it that you're crazy as a loon?" another Twitter user wondered. "I'm thinking they're just not into crazy..." an additional tweet noted. "What they hell is she doing in Washington?? Perhaps Trump has a hankering for pistol packing dimwits!" a social media user stated.
Batshit crazy lady is packing. What could possibly go wrong?

— Darlene (@DarMV) November 16, 2017
"Batsh*t crazy lady is packing. What could possibly go wrong?" a tweet sarcastically asked. The backlash to Sarah Palin's remarks continued as the debate over sexual harassment and assault moved forward.

Q: How can I view the Javascript Window ID of my window? For use with Selenium select_window() I am trying to select a newly-opened window using Selenium, and the select_window() method requires its WindowID.
I have tried using the window's title, as other places have suggested, and turned on Selenium's debug mode, as the documentation suggests to see a window.open intercept, but neither option seems to have worked.
Is there just some simple javascript command I can enter in the new window's console to view the window ID?

A: So there are two things, as I am not sure what is your exact scenario.
So considering you have opened the new window, while doing so, you can define the window id.
So for example:-
$sel->open_window("http://www.google.com", "Chris Cooper");
$sel->select_window("Chris Cooper");

Or if the new window is popup(not explicitly opened by you), you could simply use
$sel->select_pop_up();

A: I ended up extracting the link URL from the anchor, and simply navigated to that URL instead of opening a new window.

A: For Safe Use
Perform
1.$sel->get_all_window_titles();
2.$sel->get_all_window_ids();
3.$sel->get_all_window_names();
From this Either we can use [select_window id/title/name] Simple.

This document contains instructions for installing the Kronolith web-based calendar application on your system.
For information on the capabilities and features of Kronolith, see the file README in the top-level directory of the Kronolith distribution.
Kronolith runs within the Horde Application Framework, a set of common tools for Web applications written in PHP. You must install Horde before installing Kronolith.
Kronolith H5 requires version 5.0+ of the Horde Framework - earlier versions of Horde will not work.
Be sure to have completed all of the steps in the horde/docs/INSTALL file for the Horde Framework before installing Kronolith. Many of Kronolith's prerequisites are also Horde prerequisites. Additionally, many of Kronolith's optional features are configured via the Horde install.
Kronolith store its data in a backend - either an SQL database or a Kolab server. Build PHP with whichever SQL driver you require; see the Horde horde/docs/INSTALL file for more details on using databases with Horde, or the Kolab webclient documentation for how to set up Kronolith for Kolab.
If you want to use dates earlier the January 1st 1970, for example birthdays, you need an Operating System that supports negative timestamps. Microsoft Windows does not support such dates.
If you are going to install Kronolith the recommended way, i.e. using the PEAR installer, you can skip the remainder of this section. Installing Kronolith through PEAR will automatically download and install all required PEAR modules.
Kronolith uses the Date package for various date calculations.
The RECOMMENDED way to install Kronolith is using the PEAR installer. Alternatively, if you want to run the latest development code or get the latest not yet released fixes, you can install Kronolith from Git.
First follow the instructions in horde/docs/INSTALL to prepare a PEAR environment for Horde and install the Horde Framework.
Kronolith requires a permanent Shares backend in Horde to manage calendars and to add events to calendars. If you didn't setup a Share backend yet, go to the configuration interface, select Horde from the list of applications and select the Shares tab. Unless you are using Kolab, you should select SQL.
You must login to Horde as a Horde Administrator to finish the configuration of Kronolith. Use the Horde Administration menu item to get to the administration page, and then click on the Configuration icon to get the configuration page. Select Calendar from the selection list of applications. Fill in or change any configuration values as needed. When done click on Generate Calendar Configuration to generate the conf.php file. If your web server doesn't have write permissions to the Kronolith configuration directory or file, it will not be able to write the file. In this case, go back to Configuration and choose one of the other methods to create the configuration file kronolith/config/conf.php.
Documentation on the format and purpose of the other configuration files in the config/ directory can be found in each file. You may create *.local.php versions of these files if you wish to customize Kronolith's appearance and behavior. See the header of the configuration files for details and examples. The defaults will be correct for most sites.
Once you finished the configuration in the previous step, you can create all database tables by clicking the DB schema is out of date. link in the Kronolith row of the configuration screen.
There are two kind of reminders sent to users, reminders on individual events with alarms, and daily agendas. Generally, if you set up cron jobs, you must have the PHP CLI installed (a CGI binary is not supported - php -v will report what kind of PHP binary you have).
If you have not already set up the Horde Alarm system, you have to set up a cron entry for the Horde alarm script as documented in horde/docs/INSTALL. This will send reminders for individual events.
If not installing Kronolith through PEAR of if PEAR's bin_dir configuration doesn't point to /usr/bin/, replace /usr/bin/kronolith-agenda with the path to the kronolith-agenda script in your Kronolith installation.
If you encounter problems with Kronolith, help is available!
Lastly, Horde developers, contributors and users may also be found on IRC, on the channel #horde on the Freenode Network (irc.freenode.net).
"Horde 3 beats the competitors already, and Horde 4 looks to beat them hands down."

Michael Holloway Perronne (born 1974) is an American author. His novels include: A Time Before Me, Men Can Do Romance, Falling Into Me, Embrace the Rain, A Time Before Us, and Gardens of Hope.

Perronne received a great deal of publicity after sending a copy of his novel, A Time Before Me, to Alabama state lawmaker Gerald Allen who proposed that all books mentioning gay content should be banned. Allen was quoted saying, "I guess we dig a big hole and dump them in and bury them."

In response, Perronne said, "If Mr. Allen is determined to bury such great works as The Color Purple, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Brideshead Revisited, then I would be honored to have my own work buried with such classics." The controversy led to Perronne making appearances on national television and mentions in national gay newsmagazines.

His debut novel, "A Time Before Me" won the Bronze Award, ForeWord Magazine's 2006 Book of the Year Award in the Gay/Lesbian fiction category.

Perronne is openly gay.

Some of his later works, including Falling Into Me and A Time Before Us, dealt with common issues gay men in their thirties face with growing older. Embrace the Rain examined cultural clashes between ethnic groups in post-Hurricane Katrina in Perronne's native coastal Mississippi. Gardens of Hope, his first historical novel, takes place in the backdrop of the World War II Japanese-American internment camp Manzanar.

in 2019, Michael's script for the TV movie Deadly Vengeance was shot and produced by Titan Global Entertainment and Marvista Entertainment starring Gina Holden, Mitchell Hoog, Jessica Belkin and David Lipper.Perronne's IMDB

Personal life
Perronne was born and raised in Picayune, Mississippi, the son of Mike and Barbara Marie Perronne. He received a BA in Film from The University of Southern Mississippi and an MFA in Drama and Communications from the University of New Orleans. For a few years he worked as a production assistant in television and film, in both New Orleans and Los Angeles, on such projects as the television series The Big Easy and the television movies Rag and Bone and Introducing Dorothy Dandridge.

Following that, he worked as the Conference Services Coordinator for NATPE. He did script reading and analysis for the Los Angeles Film Festival and the Los Angeles Film Collaborative. He currently holds an Assistant Professor position at a college in the Los Angeles area.

Roy Nelson's grandmother, Susan lived in Deptford, which the Humanitarian League described as one of the dark places of the world. John Nelson died leaving Nelson to care for her three young children alone. Listen to a letter Nelson wrote in 1903, begging for money— Margaret Marchant oversaw her benefits.
Margaret Marchant was the daughter of Thomas Marchant and part of the Victorian upper class. When she became the secretary of the charity, she decided to investigate whether the family was worthy to receive benefits. Because Nelson was pregnant out of wedlock, Marchant removed the children from the home and distributed them amongst relatives.
The CRS gave Mrs. Murray three shillings a week to care for Charlotte, Nelson's youngest daughter. Listen to a letter from Marchant to Greenwich COS extolling Charlotte's virtues. Charlotte marries Arthur Avey in 1925 and their eldest daughter was born three days after they married.
In 1938, the family relocated to Mottingham, Kent to live in council housing. Charlotte never spoke of her own mother. Victor Avey recalls seeing Susan Nelson on the street and deciding not to speak with her.
Avey worked on the railroad for 25 years and met his first wife in a dance hall. Avey left when his wife started cheating on him. Colin and Suzanne have not seen their father in over 30 years.
Colin hopes to reconnect with his father, but Suzanne hopes to gain closure and explanation. Avey brings Suzanne and Colin a birthday card. Watch as Avey meets his granddaughter for the first time.
Nelson remained in Debtford and had three more children out of wedlock. The COS decides to no longer give her benefits. Nelson deserted Nathaniel Jr. when he was five.
Nathaniel Jr. worked various jobs and the family got by financially. Roy Nelson apprenticed as a carpenter, got married, and moved to Kent. They own their own home.
A newspaper published that Nelson was arrested after allegedly attempting to drown Alfred in the river and a passerby fished him out. In court, Nathaniel said he was intoxicated and the charges were dropped. Alfred married his wife Phyllis in 1931 and the couple had 8 children.
During World War II, four of Alfred's children were evacuated to the country. Alec, or "boy-boy," lived with a farmer in Durham— when he returned to Debtford, none of his family could understand his accent. He met his wife in grammar school, became a carpenter, and had four children.
In 1964, Alec and his family moved into their own home in Kent and taught his children that a good education was essential. Suzanne moved to the country and his son became computer business consultant. Alec died at the age of 49.
Alex received benefits to raise his five children after his wife left him. Tierney Nelson-Martin lives with her mother in Deptford, who stresses finding a job before having children. She interviewed at MacDonald's but did not obtain the position.
Jobless, Sharon Nelson receives benefits to help raise her five children. Once, she dreamed of becoming an archaeologist, architect, or lawyer, but left school to raise her children. Her daughter hopes to become and actress or singer.
When the government established a national welfare program, the Charity Organization Society ceased to exist— Marchant retired after World War II. Alexandra Barcus volunteered at a woman's service clinic during college. She and her sister are the last of the Marchant line.
Barcus meets Tierney and decides to help her break the cycle of pauperism. The Nelsons arrange a family reunion.
The story of an Edwardian family trapped in welfare dependency and a mother accused of a shocking crime against her own child. Did the handouts given to Susan Nelson's family by a prosperous charity visitor provide her descendants with the chance to move up in life or was it all down to their own hard graft? More than a hundred years on, some of Susan's descendants are still locked in patterns of benefit dependency, while others have freed their families from the desperate poverty of their ancestor. Meanwhile, a descendant of Susan's benefactor discovers why her well-to-do ancestor decided to cut off financial support for Susan just when she needed it most.

Bellshill railway station is a railway station in the town of Bellshill, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. The station is managed by Abellio ScotRail and served by Argyle Line and Shotts Line services. The station is adjacent to Bellshill Main Street, on Hamilton Road, and was opened by the Caledonian Railway as part of the Cleland and Midcalder Line on 1 May 1879. West of the station, the Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway crossed with a second station in the town to the north west - this ceased to carry passenger back in 1951.
The line through the station was electrified as part of the 1974 West Coast Main Line project.
Although it is situated east of the Shotts Line's junction with the WCML south of Uddingston, electric trains can reach Motherwell using a chord line to the route from Coatbridge Central and Mossend which passes beneath the Shotts route east of the station (these lines being wired to allow electric access to the yard at Mossend and to allow freight trains to avoid the busy Motherwell area).


We began last week looking at the importance of Stewardship by taking the word PRIORITIES and making an acrostic. We noted at the need to evaluate our priorities by starting with Prayer and Review. Remember from last week the highest goal for every believer is to use the limited resources to serve God, others and glorify His name.
Who is involved in sowing and reaping? Every person is in the process of sowing and reaping.
Christians living in full obedience to God and His Word are sowing true righteousness.
Non-Christians living their lives apart from God and His Word are sowing the seeds of selfishness and sin.
When do I start reaping what I sow? You can begin to reap some investments in this life. If you abundantly sow the seeds of kindness, helpfulness and good deeds, you will receive a bountiful harvest in time!
How am I demonstrating my love for God?
How am I demonstrating my love for my family?
How am I demonstrating my love for my church?
How am I demonstrating my love for lost people?
Order. We have looked at the importance of understanding stewardship from the standpoint of investments. Take it one step further: How can I order my priorities around the things and people that I am responsible for at this phase in my life?


The vitality of the men's ministry depends on each man recognizing his role before God as it relates to the church, his family and all other areas of his life. Thus, being leaders out in front of the family, Church, work & community is our mantra.
As the Director of JOSHUA'S MEN, the Men's Ministry at NDCF, I wanted all to know where our name was derived. Joshua's Men within the church are men who fully understand and embrace their role before God. They understand their role (The Word and Holy Spirit) and lead others on the narrow path. They know the work is often difficult, but continue onward to ensure the Great Commission is fulfilled. Joshua's Men cannot succeed without the support of the main body (The Church).
It is through this model the Joshua's Men of New Day Christian Fellowship will follow God and lead!
Nothing is more important than our individual relationship with God.
We are to be servant leaders in every aspect of our lives.
After, God, our wives are the next most important relationship we are to honor.
We will raise and support our children to ensure they know & follow Jesus as Lord.
We will serve the church through our sacrifices of time, talents and treasure.
We will minister to the lost compassionately, via mercy and acts of service.
We will keep our bodies healthy and pure for the sake of holiness.

St. Louis Rams: Year 2 Player Predictions
Any struggles in year one of a players career should never come as a surprise. In year two, more of the same errors should be expected, but at a far lower rate than year one. With less struggles, comes more results...
By misone Jul 12, 2014, 8:22am CDT
Share All sharing options for: St. Louis Rams: Year 2 Player Predictions
Scott Kane-USA TODAY Sports
Year two should very rarely be considered the "breakout year" for a young player. Unless that player was able to show major signs of possibly breaking out in their first year, than the idea of them doing so can be viewed as being overly optimistic. That is not to say that a player cannot make a massive leap between year one and year two. But it is far more likely that a player gradually builds on their confidence and understanding of the game.
Tavon Austin:
Tavon Austin started his rookie season off very slow. While he caught a lot of passes in his first 5-6 NFL games, he also dropped a lot. Through the first six weeks, Austin dropped seven passes. His drop rate was a ridiculous 17.1%. But as the case with most extremely explosive players, the reward of playing him far outweighed the risk. With more playing time comes more confidence and understanding. As the season progressed, Austin improved and showcased more and more of that explosive talent that made him the eighth overall pick. In fact, after starting the first six games with 7 drops, Austin would finish his season with zero drops after week six. He also went on to score touchdowns in the form of receiving, rushing, and returning. Before spraining his ankle in week 14, it became clear the game was starting to slow down, and Austin's potential began to translate into production. I fully expect Austin to pick up where he left off in week 14 of the 2013 season.
Projection: 51 rec---669 yds---14 rush---174 yds---412 ret yds---8 total tds
Stedman Bailey:
I strongly doubt if there was one Rams fan out there that was not extremely disappointed to hear that Stedman Bailey would be suspended four games to begin the year. The reason for that disappointment is because there is no denying what Bailey can bring to the table, and he carries a lot of expectations heading into year two. Many believed when Bailey was drafted that he was instantly the best receiver on the Rams roster. He did not get many opportunities early in the season to show what he could do for the team, but once the chance came, he really stepped up. Over the final six weeks of the season, Bailey caught 16 passes for 214 yards, and added 2 carries for 33 yards and a touchdown. He made some very tough grabs in traffic, and consistently fought for extra yards. Oh, and his drop rate? Yeah, it was zero. Bailey entered the NFL with a reputation of being a hard worker that always played with a chip on his shoulder. After being suspended he now has a real chip to fuel him in his return.
Projection: 55 rec---734 yds---5 tds---1 drop
Zac Stacy:
There has been some chatter about Zac Stacy possibly losing his starting job this year. That is silly talk, and quite frankly ungrateful. After the season this young man gave St. Louis, and now people are actually doubting him, that is insane. He kept the Rams competitive, as well as brief playoff contenders. It's kind of crazy to think of him as someone that could be on the verge of losing his starting role. Stacy displayed some of the best vision you could find last season. He exploited cutback lanes as good as anyone. He ran with great burst, balance, and power. He finished the season ranked eighth in average yards after contact. He had all this success in only 12 weeks, with practically no passing game to support him. I fully expect Zac Stacy to retain his starting role, be even better this year, as it already looks like he has improved his physical condition.
Projection: 290 rush---1,278 yds---10 tds---27 rec---178 yds
Alec Ogletree:
Alec Ogletree really showed why Jeff Fisher would blush last summer every time someone mentioned his name. He has a knack for being around the ball. The kid simply plays all out, sideline to sideline, football. He also looks to create turnovers with every opportunity given, and had success on quite a few occasions. Ogletree is a high effort - high energy - player that is going to give you everything he has. It's obvious that he has fun out there on the field. The best news about Ogletree is that he is wise enough to know that if he wants to get better, he has to learn the ropes. Which is why it's awesome that he has allowed James Laurinaitis to take him under his wing. Laurinaitis is one of the smartest linebackers in the NFL, and his football IQ is off the charts. The only thing that separates Olgetree from becoming a truly special linebacker is his understanding of the pro game. After a season under his belt and a whole year around James, I still expect him to have more than his fair share of mental lapse, but Ogletree should come out guns blazing.
Projection: 142 tkl---2 int---5 ff---4 sck
TJ McDonald:
T.J. McDonald must have been the happiest safety alive this off-season. To hear that your team just signed Gregg Williams is the best news you can have as an NFL safety. Williams has a helluva track record with safeties in his system. Pro Bowls galore. With that being said, it's hard to envision McDonald as a Pro Bowl safety next year. He struggled mightily in coverage and missed a lot of tackles. But he showed enough promise to assume there will be a significant overall improvement with his performance. He does not have the same privilege as Alec Ogletree, to learn from a very knowledgeable veteran in his position group. But T.J. is a smart player and will have Williams there to assist him along the way. I think it is safe to say McDonald will have a solid season.

A Colônia de Nova Gales do Sul () foi uma colônia do Império Britânico que existiu de 1788 a 1901, quando se federou juntamente com as outras cinco colônias australianas para formar a Comunidade da Austrália.

A Colônia de Nova Gales do Sul foi criada em 1788 como uma colônia penal. Nova Gales do Sul detinha o maior território australiano, inicialmente a colônia incluía as áreas que se tornaram Queensland, Victoria, Tasmânia e Austrália Meridional. Em 1823, o New South Wales Act foi estabelecido e aprovado pelo Parlamento Britânico e um nível de governo autônomo foi criado dentro da colônia. Em 1855, Nova Gales do Sul alcançou o autogoverno com o Parlamento Britânico, concedendo a Nova Gales do Sul sua própria constituição. Com a Federação em 1 de janeiro de 1901, a colônia tornou-se o Estado de Nova Gales do Sul.

Chris Lynn is again for assessment in regard to his shoulder dislocation. He was picked by the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise for Rs.9.6 crore to play for IPL in the current edition. He was prone to shoulder injury during Australia-New Zealand tri-series T20I final on Wednesday. He was unable to play his part with the bat in the 19-run victory against New Zealand due to his injury while diving for the ball at Eden Park.
Lynn was expected to travel to Dubai to play in the Pakistan Super League for Lahore Qalandars. He will travel to Brisbane for medical assessment.
Lynn expressed his hope about all set for playing in the Indian Premier League to represent Kolkata Knight Riders.
This is another hurdle in the form of injury for Lynn. Earlier in July 2017, he had undergone three surgeries for his left shoulder.
Sources say that if Lynn is able to join the team before IPL and even if he is not able to play one match, he will receive half of his fee but if he was ruled out of the team before the commencement of IPL, he will not receive a single dime. His immediate future will be determined after he undergoes a scan in Brisbane.
This electric batsman was expected to lead the KKR for IPL 2018.

I'm still in the patch dasher, patch pango, patch cairo, repeat loop. Fixed a couple more issues in pango with Owen today, spent some time on IRC with dasher developers, and wrote an initial cairo_arc_to patch.
There are a couple more pango issues I want to fix, but since Owen released today, they can wait a couple weeks for the least. There is a performance problem in GtkSizeGroup that I like to look at tomorrow, though I know it would take a lot of time, but hey. callion suggested that I take a look at autoconfication of the Mozilla NSS stuff, a killer known only being next to OO.o!
Bought a new keyboard, which is much appreciated. More on that tomorrow.
It was a very productive and enjoying week for me. I hacked more than 10 hours/day the whole week. Yesterday I worked with Owen and fixed or otherwise closed a few bugs on pango. Then after Carl Worth's awesome tutorial on Cairo, I decided to add Cairo support to Dasher. It's all finished up and in CVS now :). Performance problems, yes. :( But looks good. In the way, I optimized the Gdk rendering code quite a bit, so we're faster without Cairo at least :).
Fedora BOF was quite good last night too. Met Jeremy Katz in person that was interesting. He asked me about my Summer of Code project too :).
The OLS closing keynote address by Dave Jones was pretty interesting, about bugs and bugzilla in the kernel development, Fedora, and RHEL. Right after posting this, heading to hotel and then the final party... Again, had an awesome week. Next week back in Toronto working on preload, hacking all day long to the end of August, and writing it down on paper to the end of September. Should be pretty fun, specially now that I've got my hands quite warmed up.
Finally, got to really move away from blogger. My most productive posts that could enjoy a lot of feedback from GNOME people do not made it to p.g.o :(.
So I spent the second day at OLS mostly hacking. Attended Greg K-H's tutorial on writing a Linux kernel driver, which was cool. The kernel USB infrastructure is pretty damn neat.
Finished fixing warnings in dasher, here is the report and patch. Unfortunately I should have had started my work on the gnome-2-12 branch, not HEAD, but that doesn't mean I've totally wasted my time. Just that I still don't have a bleeding-edge dasher running. Got to apply my patches and fix the rest in the 2.12 branch tonight at the hotel.
Since it was a bug-day and Owen has been applying patches on pango too, I finally wrapped up the pango-no-freetype-internals patch by David Turner that needed a bit of testing. The patch was pretty solid, but I ended up fixing a leak in the opentype/ code, and a bunch of others in the examples/. Viva valgrind.
For tomorrow's hacking, I'm going to really get started on preload. There's not much left to the end of Summer by Google's definition.
Random comments that I got during my talk: Keith Packard (keithp) noted that X contains a couple hundred kilobytes worth of locale data, parallel to glibc's, and that probably can be replaced by a central locale data library too. Daniel Veillard (DV) is seeking a lightweight (<30kb) way of having locale-aware collation in libxslt that supports ascending/descending and lower-first/upper-first/locale's-default options. So far he has only found that in ICU, but ICU is multiple times bigger than his whole library, so that's no option.
Anyway, DDC second day went pretty smooth. DV and I got together to find a solution for his problem, and I started hacking up a solution based on strcoll functionality of the libc. The main problem is supporting that ascending/descending and lower-first/upper-first/locale's-default thing. here is the part of the XSLT spec about sorting. Doing all these in a not-that-slow way was a torture that I managed to survive after a few hours of hacking. Good hacking for a day. The code is available here and is in public domain. The algorithm is described in the comment at the beginning of the file. I would like to hear from people whether what I'm doing makes sense, is there any easier way to do this, etc.
Later in the afternoon we headed out for dinner with David Schleef (ds), Chris Lahey (clahey), and a few other people. Caught Michael K. Johnson (mkj) in the elevator and had a long conversation about their packaging system and sitro. Then ran into Colin Charles of the Fedora Project fame. Ah, he recognized me as a Summer of Code student of them, but I still told him that I've not started the C code yet. So we all had a good dinner and left for the final party at Final Party at Vineyards Wine Bar & Bistro. This time we spotted H. Peter Anvin (hpa) wearing a cool t-shirt (got photos, will post later) and his wife Suzi. While talking standing still an hour later there, Dave Jones (djones) joined us and another half an hour passed before we left them and headed for the party.
The party was awesome. Lots of good drinks, chatted with Hubert Figuière again, and more with Jon Phillips (rejon) and Bryce Harrington, two InkScape developers. Also got photos of Colin Charles and David Zeuthen (davidz) taking photos of eachother! Will post them all really soon. Also met Soeren Sandmann, which was good. I finally figured out why planet is called planet (apart from the obvious reason): After hooking my weblog on p.g.o, all the planet knows that I work on Persian support, I didn't make it to 6UADEC, and even that I finally found a place to stay for DDC!
OLS started pretty good too. I was in bert hubert's talk about On faster application startup times: Cache stuffing, seek profiling, adaptive preloading (he mentioned me working on preload too) when DV wrote on IRC that he's looking at keithp's eye-candies. So I walked to the next room and got some of the eye candy at Keith's talk. I've been wondering whether is possible to do a decent desktop in say 32MB, and decided no, but this talk started changing my mind and thinking what should we do to get an order of magnitude (not really, but) smaller.
Got a chance to talk to Seth Vidal, the hero behind yum. Seems like latest yum is doing all items in my wish list. So for example you can say "yum install /usr/bin/mencoder" instead of the nasty "yum list *mencoder*" (in livna they have packaged it separately as mplayer-mencoder, girrrrrrr.) There's also a yum shell, yes! No more "yum list this"...takes 30sec..."yum list that"...takes 30sec... And they are aiming for transactions, so you can run the shell, say "remove sendmail", then "install postfix", and then "run"... Beautiful.
And finally, in a few minutes is the keysigning that has brought lots of signatures to my PGP public key.
Arrived in Ottawa yesterday. Made it to the Linux in the Wild BBQ, where I found the biggest Iranian picnic going on in the same park, so I joined the Iranian guys afterwards and had a lot of fun. Settled in Carleton residence afterwards and slept a good twelve hours.
So to expect, my slides are not impressive at all and I think I couldn't motivate the work enough. Anyway, here are the slides, called Bloat of Data in the Unicode Era, just delivered the presentation an hour ago.
Met Keith Packard, Daniel Veillard, Hubert Figuiere, David Zeuthen, and there many more to meet. Quite a lot of fun so far. Photos to come later.
Roozbeh: It's not the corpus that has پروژه‌ی فارسی‌وب (FarsiWeb Project) in it, but dasher learning what I've been typing for a few times!
BTW, if you want to try the Persian dasher, you need to download the files in here and put them in /usr/share/dasher (or equivalent), and then run dasher, select Persian, right-to-left direction (if automatic doesn't work), and European/Asian colorset. That's all!
And the one shoot is here. Unfortunately the current version of dasher does a too heavy X I/O, so the shoot through VNC doesn't come out good, no matter what I set for the delays. But I've slowed down quite a lot so you can figure out what's going on.
Just came back from a cool talk about Dasher, presented by their lead researcher David MacKay who is visiting our department for a few days. I've got an appointment with him for tomorrow to get Persian support in Dasher! So I'm going to prepare a corpus tonight. I need some high-quality text. I'm thinking about the books I have typed, stuff I have translated, and archives of Ghasedak and Cappuccino online magazines, after some preprocessing. Very cool stuff in general. And soon after I've got to start compiling the slides for my talk on Monday.
The SoCers now have a planet, and a hackergotchi gallery. So far everybody have been busy figuring out which tax forms to fill and returning back the agreement. Seems like no (international) student is going to get the initial $500 check sooner than the $4,000 final check. Thanks to the US tax laws, Google AdSense checks would be sent out as soon as you check the box that you are not a US citizen or resident, but you need an ITIN to get the SoC grant, or 30% will be withheld.

Family pay tribute to "much-loved" grandmother who died after North Bitchburn crash
Rita Young
[A] FAMILY has paid tribute to a "much-loved" grandmother who has died following a road collision.
Rita Young, 62, has passed away following the crash in which she was seriously injured at the crossroads of Green Lane, North Bitchburn, on July 5.
The grandmother-of-six from Billy Row in Crook, was initially flown to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary by the Great North Air Ambulance Service. Mrs Young was later transferred to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough where she died on Saturday (August 26).
Her daughter, Lucy Mays, has today paid tribute to her. She said: "Rita was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who lived for her family.
"She loved nothing more than time spent with her grandkids, to who she was dedicated.
"She enjoyed playing bingo at the club in Crook where she helped out with her husband Jim, as well as listening to music on a Saturday night at Willington Working Men's Club.
"She adored day trips to the beach and looking after her German Shepherd, Major.
"She was so good-natured and family-orientated and will be sadly missed by all those who knew her."
A post mortem into Mrs Young's death is due to be held this week.
Mrs Young was a rear-seat passenger in a dark-blue Volkswagen Touran which was involved in a collision with a red Ford Fiesta at the crossroads at about 10.50am.
Durham Constabulary can confirm enquiries into the investigation continue. Anyone who has any information who hasn't already come forward, please call 101 quoting incident number 136 of July 5.
