Community Organizing, Corruption/ Scandals, Policy
One Nonprofit's Service/Advocacy Response to Human Trafficking
November 27, 2013; Star Tribune
On the East Side of St. Paul, Minnesota, a nonprofit is opening up a shelter for victims of child sex trafficking. The Safe and Sound Shelter, to be run by the youth and family services nonprofit 180 Degrees, will provide 12 beds for girls aged 10 to 17, who will be permitted to stay there for as long as three months while they receive mental health treatment, vocational training, and other services.
At the ceremonial groundbreaking, St. Paul mayor Chris Coleman summarized the public and private intent behind the shelter. "What we have here today is our response as a community to say, 'We're not just going to sit back and allow this to happen,'" Coleman said. "'We're not going to allow our children to be exploited.'"
It is our impression that the energy within the movement to end human trafficking is coming from the nonprofit sector. Just before Mayor Coleman and Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) took their places at the Safe and Sound groundbreaking, the Denver office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation gave its Director's Community Leadership Award to the Colorado Springs-based nonprofit Restore Innocence, which runs a safe house for victims of sex trafficking. Restore Innocence's program model involves one-on-one work with the girls who come to the shelter, including long after they have left, and provides "Restore Bags" of clothing and toiletries for girls who have been rescued from their situations in 37 states.
The progress of groups such as 180 Degrees and Restore Innocence is not simply a story of service provision. Rather, their operations lie at the intersection of service delivery and policy advocacy. Their work leads to public policy changes. From example, Senator Klobuchar has recently introduced legislation in Congress, modeled after Minnesota's Safe Harbor laws, to ensure that victims of sex trafficking are treated as victims. This year, the Minnesota legislature appropriated $2.8 million for its Safe Harbor program, of which $1 million was designated for additional shelter beds.
The arrest of a south London couple for holding three women in bondage for 30 years highlights the need for legislation as well as service. The UK Home Secretary, Theresa May, says that "the number of victims of slavery has risen 25 percent over the past year." In an op-ed she wrote for The Telegraph, May proclaimed tackling the problem of human trafficking a "personal priority" and pledged to introduce a Modern Slavery Bill to improve the ability of the police in the UK to eradicate the "disgusting trade in human buildings."
Klobuchar's bill, the Stop Exploitation Through Trafficking Act (SETT) has bipartisan sponsorship. The other sponsors are senators John Cornyn (R-TX), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), and Mark Kirk (R-IL). This moment of Congressional comity might not last, of course. Earlier this month in Maine, for example, suspicions between Republicans and Democrats exploded to derail strengthened anti-trafficking legislation. Shared Hope International, established by former Republican member of Congress Linda Smith, produces an annual report card grading states on their anti-slavery work. It gave Tennessee, Louisiana, and Washington State grades of "A," but Pennsylvania, California, Michigan, Maine, South Dakota, and Hawaii grades of "F".
We believe it is important to point out, in contrast to most of the press coverage and even the legislative efforts focusing on sex trafficking, that there is a continuing problem of labor trafficking. In Calumet City, Illinois, prosecutors recently charged a landlord with holding two of his tenants, a pair of mentally challenged men, in labor bondage. In Lexington, Kentucky, the owners of a Subway restaurant franchise were arrested after a three-month labor trafficking investigation. In Ashland, Ohio, a woman pled guilty to imprisoning a mentally challenged woman and her five-year-old child for manual labor. These cases do not get the level of attention that comes to cases of sex trafficking of young girls. Often, as these stories show, the victims of labor trafficking are frequently persons with mental disabilities.
Hopefully, Klobuchar and her Senate colleagues are working on a bill that will address the shortcomings in police and judicial actions against both sex trafficking and labor trafficking.—Rick Cohen

Television as we know begins to change this week
The Pocket Theatre
by Bryan M. Wolfe
"Cutting the cord" is about to happen — at least for a select few.
Beginning this week, Dish Network will start handing out invitations for its new Web-based streaming video service, Sling TV. Better still, Dish Network promises that the service will be "widely available in the next couple weeks," according to Re/Code.
First introduced earlier this month, Sling TV offers access to live feeds from ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, TBS, Food Network, HGTV, Travel Channel, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, ABC Family, and CNN. The cost: $20 per month. Addition channel packs will be available for $5 per month each.
Supported devices include: Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Google's Nexus Player, select LG Smart TVs, Roku players, Roku TV models, select Samsung Smart TVs, Xbox One from Microsoft, iOS, Android, Mac, and PC.
Want to receive your own Sling TV invitation? Click here for more information.
As we previously discussed, Sling TV isn't the only service that hopes to change the television landscape.
In October, HBO announced that it will offer a standalone streaming service in 2015.
HBO Chairman and CEO Richard Plepler said:
So, in 2015, we will launch a stand-alone, over-the-top, HBO service in the United States. We will work with our current partners. And, we will explore models with new partners. All in, there are 80 million homes that do not have HBO and we will use all means at our disposal to go after them.
For $5.99 per month, CBS All Access already offers subscribers "thousands of episodes from the current season, previous seasons and classic shows on demand, as well as the ability to stream local CBS Television stations live in 14 of the largest U.S. markets at launch."
Are you getting excited for the launch of Sling TV?
2015 could finally be the year we can cut the cord
Dish Network's new live Sling TV service will work with iOS devices and Macs

U.S.|Smaller Crowds Turn Out for Third Annual Women's March Events
Smaller Crowds Turn Out for Third Annual Women's March Events

By Michael Wines and Farah Stockman
WASHINGTON — Whether it was stormy weather, reports of controversy or the simple waning of interest over time, the third annual Women's March events on Saturday attracted much smaller crowds than in years past.
In Washington, in a frigid marble plaza only blocks from the White House, early attendees at first seemed to be outnumbered by barkers hawking T-shirts and buttons.
"I'm disappointed. It's definitely not the turnout I was looking for," said Peggy Baron, 53, a lawyer from Dublin, Ohio, who said that the first Washington march two years ago had been "wall-to-wall women."

But as the morning progressed, throngs of marchers began to fill the plaza, and spirits visibly lifted.
"I came two years ago. It's definitely smaller, but the spirit is very much alive," said Rachel Stucky, 53, an educator from Salem, Ore. She added: "The experience I had two years ago was indescribable. I wanted to feel that way again."
The events around the country were partly a celebration of what has been achieved since the first march. An unprecedented number of women have been elected to Congress, many with the help of women who became politically active for the first time after marching in 2017.

But the gatherings were also a test of how the movement has weathered the storm of controversy in recent months. The New York-based leaders of the national Women's March group that planned the first march on Washington have been under fire for allegations of anti-Semitism.
[Listen to the episode of The Daily on divisions in the Women's March.]
Tamika Mallory, co-president of Women's March, has publicly praised Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, who is widely reviled for anti-Semitic speeches. The Women's March has issued a series of statements denouncing anti-Semitism and apologized for its delayed response to the controversy, but Ms. Mallory has declined to denounce Mr. Farrakhan himself.
Some marchers said they were conflicted about whether to come, given the controversy over the anti-Semitism charges. In Washington, Trish Klein, Jody Kanikula and Amy Hain from Chicago said they had an intense discussion before deciding to make the trip.

In the end, they chose to do it, because "apathy is not an option," said Ms. Klein, a 39-year-old special education teacher.
The controversy over Mr. Farrakhan added to tensions that were already brewing between the national Women's March group and some of the local activists around the country who planned marches in their own hometowns.
[Read our report on women's marches around the world.]
On Saturday, those divisions manifested themselves in two rival marches in New York and two in Philadelphia.

In New York, some marchers said they had done research to decide which event to attend, but many said they merely went to whichever was more conveniently located. The march held by the Women's March Alliance on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, which advertised its opposition to anti-Semitisim, attracted a crowd that stretched about 10 city blocks, although there was ample space between the marchers.
About four miles south, in Foley Square, a rally planned by a group affiliated with the national Women's March attracted a modest crowd.
"I was worried that it was going to be small and it turns out it's small," said Donna McDonough, a 69-year-old registered nurse who traveled by train from Hamden, Conn. Noting the controversy, she said: "I think Mallory should unequivocally boycott Farrakhan but no one should boycott this march. She doesn't represent the entire organization."

In Philadelphia, where the two rival events were separated by only a few hundred yards, many marchers weren't even aware of the difference between the events or didn't care.
The marches did not attract many high-profile national figures, although Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who recently announced she was running for president in 2020, appeared at an event in Iowa. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke at the Women's March Alliance rally, and Representative Ayanna Pressley spoke in Boston.
It is difficult to say how much the controversy depressed turnout.
Even before the controversy, organizers of the Washington march debated the idea of trying to hold another big national demonstration, knowing it would be impossible to come close to the turnout of the first year, when more than half a million people gathered on the streets of the capital.

Jo Reger, professor of sociology at Oakland University in Michigan, who studies feminist movements, said other factors that can depress turnout include activist burnout, and paradoxically, success.
"Marches or movements can lose some momentum when people see some of their issues being addressed," she said. "With the recent midterm elections, some may feel like the country is going in a different direction after the Trump election and that may lower the numbers participating."
Some who marched in previous years said the controversy was just one more reason to stay home.
Savannah Fritz, a 24-year-old supervisor at a homeless shelter who marched in Boston in 2017 and Philadelphia last year decided to sit out this year because she felt that the money spent on stages and portable toilets could be put to better use.

"I obviously know that protests are an important part of social justice, but I just feel like the money would be way better spent actually combating the issues the Trump administration has created," she said. The anti-Semitism charges, she said, also created a "major hesitation."
Still, there was evidence on Saturday that the political events of the last two years had inspired a new level activism among many women.
Lori Clarke, 62, a retired schoolteacher from Bucks County, Pa., said the 2018 women's march in Philadelphia was the first time she had attended a public protest.
"I'm just a normal everyday average woman," Ms. Clark said. "I would never have thought of coming out to protest."
"I hate crowds," she added. "The reality of a Trump administration hit home, and I felt that I needed my voice to be heard."
And in Washington, Hilary Ruesch, a 38-year-old marketing director for a wine importer, said she and others had traveled from Brooklyn to "come back to where it all began."
They were members of a local chapter for the liberal grass-roots group Indivisible. The chapter has a mailing list of about 300 members, but in two years, the core of the group — the ones who could be counted on to do the grunt work of local political advocacy — had dwindled to about 50 people. "We've seen some attrition," she said. But those who remain "are really dug in."
And she said they played a small — but satisfying — role in the 2018 election that gave Democrats a working majority in the New York State Legislature, and in the subsequent lobbying campaign that ended this week with the Legislature's vote to liberalize the state's restrictive election laws.
"This time there are not as many," Ms. Ruesch said of the march this year. "But it's a long battle. And we still have all these people."
Farah Stockman reported from Boston. Jon Hurdle contributed reporting from Philadelphia, Kate Pastor and Emily Palmer from New York, and Christopher Cameron from Washington.

Q: How to match a field of a struct which is passed by reference to a mocked function? I have the following struct :
    struct can_frame {
        canid_t can_id;  /* 32 bit CAN_ID + EFF/RTR/ERR flags */
        __u8    can_dlc; /* frame payload length in byte (0 .. CAN_MAX_DLEN) */
        __u8    __pad;   /* padding */
        __u8    __res0;  /* reserved / padding */
        __u8    __res1;  /* reserved / padding */
        __u8    data[CAN_MAX_DLEN] __attribute__((aligned(8)));
    };

I pass the struct by reference to the mocked function :
MOCK_METHOD1(write, int(can_frame* frame));
I would like to match if the passes struct has a given number in the datafield:
EXPECT_CALL(*canSocketMock_, write(**if the value of can_frame->data[1] is equal to 10, else assert false**))).WillOnce(Return(16));
I tried to combine the Pointee, Field and ArrayElement matchers, but failed to create the thing I wanted. The syntax of matchers is a bit too confusing for me.
Edit:
The test:
TEST_F(SchunkDeviceShould, applyBreakWritesRightMessage) {
ASSERT_NO_THROW(sut_.reset(new SchunkDevice(
        canSocketMock_, 3)));
can_frame frame;
EXPECT_CALL(*canSocketMock_, write(FrameDataEquals(&frame, 1, CMD_STOP)))).WillOnce(Return(16));
ASSERT_TRUE(sut_->applyBreak());
}

The function we call:
bool SchunkDevice::applyBreak() {
    can_frame frame;
    frame.can_id = MESSAGE_TO_DEVICE+canID_;
    frame.can_dlc = 0x02;
    frame.data[0] = frame.can_dlc - 1;
    frame.data[1] = CMD_STOP;
    if (int len = socket_->write(&frame) != 16) {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

Output of the test:
Unexpected mock function call - taking default action specified at:
/home/../SchunkDeviceTests.cpp:47:
    Function call: write(0x7ffc27c4de60)
          Returns: 16
Google Mock tried the following 1 expectation, but it didn't match:

/home/../SchunkDeviceTests.cpp:457: EXPECT_CALL(*canSocketMock_, write(FrameDataEquals(&frame, 1, CMD_STOP)))...
  Expected arg #0: frame data equals (0x7ffc27c4def0, 1, 145)
           Actual: 0x7ffc27c4de60
         Expected: to be called once
           Actual: never called - unsatisfied and active

A: You could define a custom matcher to examine the structure contents.
MATCHER_P2(FrameDataEquals, index, value, "") { return (arg->data[index] == value); }

You would then use it like this:
EXPECT_CALL(mock, write(FrameDataEquals(1, 10))).WillOnce(Return(16));

The ice runway has officially closed for the season. Yesterday and today, crews moved cargo and facilities to Williams Field (aka Willy Field). This 'airport' is located 16 km from McMurdo on the permanent ice shelf. The move to Willy Field is an annual event. Summer temperatures weaken the annual sea ice, making it too dangerous for aircraft to land on the ice runway. The move usually takes place in mid-December. Both the 109th New York Air National Guard and the New Zealand Air Force operate aircraft at the ice runway. Only the Air National Guard will fly from Willy Field. Because Willy Field is snow-covered, only airplanes equipped with skis are able to take-off and land there. The Kiwi C-130's are wheeled aircraft and so cannot land at Willy. A third airfield, Pegasus, will open in January. Pegasus is an ice runway on the permanent Ross Ice Shelf and will accommodate the Kiwi aircraft. It's important to have many planes operating at the end of the summer season. Supplies will be arriving for those who will spend the winter in Antarctica and many scientists and staff will be leaving to spend the winter elsewhere.
We are scheduled to leave late next week. Our flight will be on a ski-equipped Air National Guard C-130 Hercules. We will fly out of Willy Field. I spoke with Lt. Col. Paul Sheppard regarding the training necessary for flying an airplane under these conditions. Pilots serve as co-pilots for 2 to 3 years before they are commissioned to fly the ski-equipped Hercs. It's imperative that they experience as many possible situations before taking over the controls! Landing does not present any parcticular problems. Taking off is another story. The pilots must execute the take-off at slower than normal speeds.
After a hard day's work, we attended a Christmas party at the invitation of the Kiwi Cargo crew. About 70 people gathered around a makeshift parachute Christmas tree. The tree was covered in colorful lights and tinsel. Guests parcticipated in a gift exchange and spent the evening dancing. Our good friends in Kiwi Cargo presented Julie, Maite, and me with official Kiwi Cargo 1999-2000 T-shirts! It was such a nice gesture and we truly felt honored! I had no idea that I would have the opportunity to attend a Christmas party in Antarctica!
It is 2:45 p.m. Saturday in New Zealand. In Antarctica, we operate in the same time zone as New Zealand.
TODAY'S QUESTION: What is significant about Don Juan Pond in Wright Valley? How does Lake Vanda differ from the other Dry Valley lakes?
The ice runway has officially closed for the season because the ice has become too thin. The new 'airport' is located 16 km from McMurdo on the permanent ice shelf. This ice shelf does not melt.
Only the Air National Guard will fly C-130 Hercules airplanes from Willy Field. Because Willy Field is snow-covered, only airplanes that have skis are able to take-off and land there. The New Zealand C-130's are wheeled aircraft and so cannot land at Willy. A third airfield, Pegasus, will open in January.

View source for Ablative Armor
← Ablative Armor
{{ExaltedArtifact |summary = Armor that can sacrifice soak to stop damage. |description = ''This armor was designed by [[exalted:Artifacts/DarlothAblativeArmour|Darloth]] on the Exalted wiki.'' The base appearance of this artifact is a thin, cloth-like bodysuit, which is tinted slightly towards the color of it's material. Studs of the appropriate material adorn it in various places, appearing to be designed to allow the attachment of armor plating. However, they are small and have incredibly complex connectors, and not even the most skilled of artificers will succeed in attaching anything to them; however, if the suit is attuned for the cost of seven motes, all will become clear. As the light, element or other force associated with the armor hits it, armor plates and links will begin appearing on their own, as the armor channels essence to reinforce itself. When initially attuned, soak begins at 0B/0L soak. Growing plates increase the soak by +1B/+1L per day, at a time appropriate to their type, up to the attuned user's Stamina + Resistance + Essence, or 15L/15B, whichever is lower. The plates formed by this armor start around the chest area, and slowly spread outwards and thicken as more form, until the armor eventually ends up looking like a variant of articulated plate. However, due to the inefficiencies of the method, it will always be slightly bulkier than a similar set of armor at the same soak rating. This is reflected in the statistics below. Magical Material bonuses work as normal on this armor, except for those that add directly to soak (e.g. orichalcum and soulsteel). Instead, the magical material bonus for ablative armor of these materials is that it regenerates by +2B/+2L per day, instead of the normal one. Armour up to 5L/5B is counted as light, and has no mobility or fatigue penalties. It could conceivably be hidden underneath a cloak or something at this level. Armour up to 10L/10B is counted as medium, and has -1 mobility and 1 fatigue (modified by material as normal). It is bulky at this level, and suspicious bulges will show under even the most voluminous cloak. Magical concealment is still a possibility. Armour up to 15L/15B is counted as heavy, and has -2 mobility and 2 fatigue (modified by material as normal). At this level, the armor is huge, with many plates and sections, and really, nothing can be worn over it at all. A cloak will simply make the wearer look like someone stupidly attempting to cover a huge suit of armor with a cloak which is too small. Magical concealment should probably suffer a penalty, this is up to the GM, and depends how expensive/effective the concealment magic is. After damage is rolled against them, the wearer of the armor can (but does not have to) sacrifice 1B/1L soak to cancel a single damage success. They may negate up to Resistance + Essence damage successes in a single roll, limited by exactly how much soak they have accumulated on their armor. This does not count as charm use and isn't an action, it's counted as an activation cost, so nothing can save that soak. The outermost plates reconvert to a burst of essence that deflects the force of the blow or otherwise prevents the damage. If attunement to the armor is lost, then the armor degrades at a rate of 2L/2B per day. It should be noted that the wearer does not ''have'' to increase the soak of the armor every day. They may choose to keep it at whatever level it currently resides, or in the case of orichalcum and soulsteel armors, increase it by only a single point. The armor always counts as being made of magical material for all intents and purposes, even when it has no actual soak, because of the materials woven into the cloth. Appearance of the armor depends on the material: *'''Orichalcum''' is the most common, and as long as the armor has been exposed to direct sunlight for at least an hour per day, new plates of shiny and translucent golden armor will crystallize on top of the old (Taking an hour, and starting whenever the sunlight hits the armor, typically at dawn). They will eventually fade to opaqueness after a few days. *'''Moonsilver''' ablative armor is exceedingly fluid, and as long as it has been exposed to direct moonlight for at least an hour per night, beautiful, petal-like buds and leaves of moonsilver will begin to grow and flow from the studs. They will blossom and interlock into impressive spiral patterns near the end of the hour, and solidify into discs of armor. *'''Jade''' ablative armor is very rare, as the magics that create this armor are usually too complex for terrestrials. However, some suits have been made, mostly by twilight castes creating personalized and efficacious armor for trusted underlings. Jade armor must be suffused with a high concentration of the appropriate element for an hour, at the end of which time, the element will be drained, and the appropriate color of jade will have crystallized around the existing nodules, in whatever style is appropriate (interlocking flames for red, twined vines and flowers for green, swirling whirlpool-discs and lamellar like waves for black, delicate translucent hexagons containing snowflakes for blue, and faceted natural appearing crystals for white.) The element must be in motion (except for earth, where the armor must be buried at least 5 feet deep) so just dunking black jade armor in a pond is not acceptable. *'''Starmetal''' armor of this type is formed from solidified stardust, and as long as the armor is exposed to an hour of starlight, tiny pinpricks of light will begin to swirl about it. As the hour progresses, these will stick to already existing starmetal, slowly cooling to form tiny bead-like spheres of starmetal, all woven together with even smaller iridescent threads. As a result, heavy starmetal armor of this type begins to approximate chain swathing rather than articulated plate, although the stats are identical. *'''Soulsteel''' armor is slightly different, as instead it relies on not being exposed to direct sunlight. If is it kept in the dark, however, then lengthening shadows will draw about it at dusk, and weave themselves into translucent but dark veils. Slowly, over the course of an hour, these veils will trap the dying spirits of a myriad of tiny things (rats, mice, vermin mostly, but anything that dies nearby and isn't important) and they will thicken, dripping with a dark black liquid almost like tarry blood, and stick to the current layers, thickening them and increasing their effectiveness. |instances = [[Mnemon Caras Para]] wore a suit of this armor, that is now in the hands of [[owner::Gutts]]. |rating = 4 |commitment = 7 |materials = [[material::jade]], [[material::orichalcum]], [[material::moonsilver]], [[material::soulsteel]], [[material::starmetal]] |soak = variable |mobility = variable |fatigue = variable |campaign = Forgotten Suns }}

This blog post addresses BioMat usage with ovarian cysts, endometriosis, advanced kidney disease and viral diseases (such as shingles, herpes, etc.).
First of all, when cysts/masses in the body are present, use two mats – the Mini BioMat on top and lay on the professional-size BioMat. This creates a "sandwich." Use this bio-mat "cocoon" on high heat twice a day for 35-40 minute sessions and sleep on it at 104° or 113°. The far infrared heat begins breaking up the fibrous abnormal tissue and as these fibrous tissues break up, detoxification occurs through the lymphatic system, flushing out the waste.
Another female health disorder is endometriosis, a condition where endometrium, the tissue layer normally covering the inside of the uterus, grows outside of it. Most likely, it grows on the ovaries, fallopian tubes and around the uterus. This causes pain, irregular bleeding and sometimes, even infertility.
Using the BioMat on a regular basis promotes balance to all of the body systems. Patients with endometriosis should use the BioMat to sleep on it throughout the night at 113° and high-heat sessions at least three times per week to help minimize the discomfort, as well as balance hormonal levels. And don't forget to hydrate drinking water before, during and after BioMat usage!
Next topic to discuss in this blog is advanced kidney disease. Many people with kidney disease use bio-mats, however, the client's physician needs to be aware of BioMat use. Especially with kidney disease patients, fluid/salt ratios may fluctuate with BioMat usage. Therefore, close monitoring of BioMat usage is necessary. We always suggest a conservative approach – use the BioMat with no or low heat for a short duration. Then from there, you can build temperature and time length.
Finally, viruses can't "touch" the body when the immune system is strong. As the BioMat induces a fake fever, this boosts the immune system, weakens the virus, cleanses the body and calms the effects of a virus outbreak. Select a comfortable temperature for intensive detox sessions; sleep on the BioMat using lower temperatures.
If you have any of these health challenges, hopefully this information has been helpful. We are happy to connect with you if you wish for additional information on the BioMat: 1-844-4BIOMAT (1-844-424-6628). Be well!

Joseph Taborsky | The Mad Dog Killings | On Death Row Twice
Joseph Taborsky | Serial Murderer
Joseph Taborsky
Spree Killer
Crime Spree: 1951 / 1956 - 1957
Joseph Taborsky, "Mad Dog," was a murderer who was sentenced to death after a string of brutal robberies and murders in Connecticut during the 1950's.
Six people were killed during a string of armed robberies and murders that became known as the "Mad Dog Killings". A number of others were shot, beaten, or pistol-whipped but survived. Joseph Taborsky earned his nickname due to the savagery of the killings that condemned him to death. In 1957 Connecticut package store hours were modified to close at 8:00 pm from 11:00 pm due in part as a response to the crimes of Taborsky and his partner Arthur "Meatball" Culombe.
Joseph Taborsky was executed by electric chair at the age of 36. His execution in 1960 was the last in Connecticut (and in New England) until that of Michael Bruce Ross in 2005. Taborsky donated his body to Yale School of Medicine, and his ashes were later buried in the garden of Christ Church Cathedral.
Death Row and Joseph Taborsky
Joseph Taborsky is an anomaly in Connecticut death penalty lore. He is the only convict sent to death row not once, but twice, for different crimes. Taborsky first came to Connecticut's death row for the 1950 murder of Louis Wolfson, a West Hartford liquor store owner, during a robbery. His younger brother Albert, who was also his co-conspirator, testified against Taborsky at the trial in exchange for a life sentence.
In prison, however, Albert exhibited signs of mental illness and was institutionalized. Joseph Taborsky, having learned through the prison grapevine that his brother Albert wound up in an insane asylum, appealed his case.
In 1955, the Connecticut Supreme Court reversed Taborsky's conviction (and death sentence) because the sole witness against him - Albert - was incurably insane. Because there were no other witnesses to the robbery and murder of Wolfson, Joseph Taborsky could not be tried again. Thus, he was freed from death row, after less than three years, in early October 1955. Taborsky appeared appropriately humble, stating, "You can't beat the law. From now on, I'm not even going to get a parking ticket."
After his release from prison, Joseph Taborsky met another felon, Arthur "Meatball" Culombe, who would become his accomplice during the "Mad Dog Killings". In one grocery-store robbery, a 3-year-old girl was running around the store as Taborsky beat her grandparents unconscious. When Taborsky ordered Culombe to shoot the girl, Culombe hid her beneath a deli case, told the girl to be quiet, and fired a shot into the floor. Taborsky left, believing that the girl was dead.
Because of this incident, his low IQ, and his cooperation with the authorities, Culombe was given a life sentence. Joseph Taborsky, however, received the death penalty on June 27, 1957. He thereby became the only convict sent to Connecticut's death row on two separate occasions for two separate crimes. On May 17, 1960, Taborsky, age 36, was executed by electric chair for the "Mad Dog Killings". Before his execution, he would also confess to the 1950 murder of Wolfson.
Murder Victims of Joseph Taborsky
First murder: Louis Wolfson was killed on March 23, 1950, on Taborsky's 26th birthday. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the face.
"Mad Dog" murders: Edward Kurpewski and Daniel Janowski were killed on December 15, 1956. They were both shot in the back of the head.
Samuel Cohn was killed on December 26, 1956. He was killed by a gunshot wound to the chest.
Bernard "Buster" Speyer and Ruth Speyer were killed on January 5, 1957. Both shot in the head.
John M. Rosenthal was killed on January 26, 1957. Like Cohn, he was shot in the chest.

According to the World Health Organization, around 50 million worldwide have dementia — and nearly 10 million new cases are being added each year. With the numbers projected to keep rising, it's essential to know your options if a loved one is diagnosed with it.
To ensure your loved one receives the best possible dementia care, we broke down three key aspects needed in care: consistency, redirection, and communication.
Bluebird CEO, Stuart Brunson, and Jennifer Adams, Regional Director, discussed this topic on our podcast, Senior Care Conversations. Listen to the episode here.
Because dementia causes deterioration in memory, thinking, behavior, and the ability to perform everyday activities, keeping their life as consistent as possible can help keep your loved one comfortable and in a better state of mind.
Staying in their home setting — the place they know, that they've most likely been for a long period of time — keeps their environment consistent. Not having big changes will keep your loved one comfortable with their familiar setting and make the disease process less cumbersome.
Keeping their environment consistent is important, but seeing the same people consistently can also have a big impact.
Seeing the same people every day will help build relationships, making them feel more comfortable as well. Because someone with dementia can have some short term memory issues, that can also potentially affect their long term memory — so keeping everything consistent has a better chance of them remembering.
Having a consistent routine to stick to that includes the same environment and interactions with people can be a huge help in making people with dementia more comfortable and more likely to offset the symptoms. With an in-home care agency, the caregivers will be consistent and able to keep your loved one on a routine all without leaving their home.
A common symptom with dementia is wandering — whether that be caused by becoming lost in familiar places, thinking that they are going to an old job, or a variety of other reasons. When this happens, it is important to redirect them towards a safe alternative. When we say redirect, we mean almost like a distraction — something that feels like the event they are trying to go to, but is much safer.
For example, say that someone with dementia worked at an office 50 years ago and started to get ready for work. A caregiver would recognize this and redirect them with perhaps an old typewriter that reminds them of work and feels useful. Activities that they love such as listening to their favorite music or taking a walk in the neighborhood are also useful redirections.
In order to be prepared for these events, having a set plan and recognizing the triggers is essential, but this is very difficult without the third key area — communication.
In order to build that consistent routine, have redirections ready, and be familiar with the effects of dementia, it's important to have very good communication between the family and caregivers. Each person is different, so identifying their needs and triggers has to be done by talking it through.
From the start, if you aren't familiar with dementia you can easily talk about it with an agency to learn about what exactly it is, what the various stages and symptoms are, and how to best take care of a loved one that has it.
Once you're familiar with the different aspects of dementia, now comes the important part of mapping out your loved one's needs and talking through what their usual routine is, along with what could trigger them that would need redirection. Talk through your loved one's hobbies, favorite activities, what they used to do when they were younger — anything that gives the caregiver background information that can help develop plans that involve those passions. Caregivers will record this information so that everyone on the care team is familiar with it and prepared.
From here, caregivers can develop the care plan and start caring for your loved one, ensuring that they get the best possible care — but the communication doesn't stop there. Caregivers should be very transparent as to what is happening in the home and give consistent updates — whether that be daily, weekly, or whatever works best for you.
Having a loved one be affected by dementia is a very difficult experience, but you don't have to go through it alone. Involve your family to help lay out the best plan possible, and contact an agency even if you aren't going to hire one to talk through important details.
If you are looking for an in-home care agency to help take care of your loved one, we'd be happy to talk. Our caregivers have years of experience in the field and are experts. Contact us today to learn more.

Avi Santo
New Director of ODU Institute of Humanities Envisions Program Evolution
The Old Dominion University Institute of Humanities has a new director with a vision that sees the master's degree program developing a unique identity that fosters community engagement and service.
Avi Santo, an associate professor of communication at ODU since 2006, assumed the institute's leadership role after former director Jeffrey P. Jones left this summer to become director of the University of Georgia's George Foster Peabody Awards. Santo holds master's and doctoral degrees from the Department of Radio, Television and Film at the University of Texas at Austin.
Santo specializes in the study of licensing and merchandising of products within the media industry and recently finished a book titled "Selling the Silver Bullet," a history of the Lone Ranger as intellectual property. It is expected to be published next fall.
"I'm interested in how, ultimately, intellectual property becomes cultural commodities - how they sort of enter into our daily lives and become meaningful through tangible products," he said.
At ODU, Santo was a co-creator, in 2006, of MediaCommons: A Digital Scholarly Network, which serves as a digital publishing platform - offering numerous opportunities for graduate student involvement - and is supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. He has been affiliated with the Institute of Humanities - serving as an interim director, teaching classes and directing student thesis and capstone projects - since 2007.
"I'm very familiar with the student population that we have here," Santo said. "In some way, this transition made a lot of sense. I'm very grateful the dean (of the College of Arts and Letters) saw it similarly."
The ODU Institute of Humanities administers the master's program in the humanities offered by the College of Arts and Letters. The program emphasizes interdisciplinary studies, cultural studies and critical theory, while allowing students to pursue individualized programs of study that incorporate work from varying humanities disciplines.
But it is much more than that.
"The strength of the program is it is interdisciplinary," Santo said. "Students are able to create their own curriculum by picking and choosing classes across the college that are complemented by a handful of core classes in the humanities."
Santo explained that the humanities is a very broad concept typically associated with high art and culture - such things as museums and the opera, for example. While ODU's program is geared toward those subject areas, the institute's approach also puts high value on the study of popular culture.
"We're interested in questions of citizenship formation and how arts and culture can help communities in fostering critical dialogue and shining a light on marginalized communities and their cultural practices to help give a better understanding how community functions," he said.
Santo said the Humanities Institute is undergoing a significant change to strengthen its unique identity and address a climate where most students in the master's program are there because a specific degree is not offered in their area of interest.
"One of the things I'm trying to do is help the institute develop a unique identity for itself so that the students that are coming in to us really see the humanities aspect of it being central to their experience," Santo said.
To achieve that goal, Santo said the institute is developing two areas of focalization that will serve as "thematic anchors": digital humanities, involving digital media and technologies and how people interact with these interfaces; and humanities in Hampton Roads, with a focus on how issues of art, culture and philosophy apply in the region and how community involvement can grow through activities such as research, service learning and community activism.
Students are going to be asked to take these focus areas into their classrooms and come back at certain intervals during the semester to talk about how the various classes they are attending and material they are learning can be applied in these specific directions, Santo said. He added that the areas of focalization are intended to allow students to share something in common without necessarily interfering with their ability to create their own curriculum.
"A lot of the goal is for us to be out in the Hampton Roads community more and developing a series of initiatives or programs that are designed to foster greater dialogue at ODU and in the community," Santo said. "ODU has been vested in identifying itself as the premier university in Hampton Roads and we should be the go-to university for events that are central to what makes this area unique. I think we can participate in that in various facets, but in particular by thinking about the arts and culture as a kind of outlet for community engagement, dialogue and things of that nature."
One initiative that exemplifies that focus is the Institute of Humanities colloquium series, which is held one Friday each month from 3-5 p.m. Previously, the informal presentations and Q&A sessions that feature ODU faculty members and guests from outside the university were open only to ODU students, faculty and staff, but now the general public is also invited to attend.
Upcoming colloquium series events include:
Sept. 20: "Gaming the Curriculum" will address the roles that Alternate Reality Games (ARGs), computer games and other forms of play might serve - for better or worse - in developing undergraduate and graduate curriculum and how these games are influencing curriculum design, student engagement and evaluation. It will feature Kevin Mobley, assistant professor of English and video game scholar; Amy Adcock, associate professor of STEM education and professional studies, whose research involves games and curriculum design; and Richard Landers, assistant professor of psychology, who studies the impact of social gaming. Also on the panel will be representatives of Colonial Williamsburg's Digital History Center who were involved in creating the attraction's popular RevQuest interactive game. Location: Batten Arts and Letters Building, Room 9024.
Nov. 1: The conversation will address the public's role in public art. Featured guests will include Robert Wojtowicz, professor of art history and associate dean for research and graduate studies, who is chair of the Norfolk Public Art Commission; Tom Chapman, assistant professor of political science and geography, who has researched street art in city spaces; and a yet-to-be identified graffiti artist from Hampton Roads. Location: Baron and Ellin Gordon Art Galleries, 4509 Monarch Way.
Nov. 21 and 22: On Thursday evening, Susan Youssef, an Arab American filmmaker who directed "Habibi" - the first feature-length fictional film to be shot in the Gaza Strip - will screen the movie and participate in a Q&A afterward in the Mills Godwin Jr. Life Sciences Building, Room 102. The following day, Youssef will participate in a brown bag lunch for ODU students, sponsored by the Office of Intercultural Relations, and participate in the Institute of Humanities' third colloquium, which will focus on the roles art and popular culture can play in promoting interfaith dialogue. Youssef will be joined by Scott Girdner, assistant professor of philosophy and religious studies and an Islam expert, as well as a representative from the Jewish community. The colloquium will be held in the Batten Arts and Letters Building, Room 9024.

Q: Misunderstanding `each...in` rendering with reactive variable I'm new to Meteor/Blaze but that is what my company is using.
I'm struggling to understand how Blaze decides to render what based on ReactiveDict
TL;DR
I create some children templates from a ReactiveDict array in the parent array. The data is not refreshed in the children templates when the ReactiveDict changes and I don't understand why.
I probably have misunderstood something about Blaze rendering. Could you help me out?

Parent
Parent Html template
<template name="parent">
    {{#each child in getChildren}}
        {{> childTemplate (childArgs child)}}
    {{/each}}
</template>

Parent Javascript

Reactive variable

The template renders children templates from a getChildren helper that just retrieves a ReactiveDict.
// Child data object
const child = () => ({
  id: uuid.v4(),
  value: ""
});

// Create a reactive dictionary
Template.parent.onCreated(function() {
  this.state = new ReactiveDict();
  this.state.setDefault({ children: [child()] });
});

// Return the children from the reactive dictionary
Template.parent.helpers({
  getChildren() {
    return Template.instance().state.get('children');
  }
});

Child template arguments (from parent template)

The parent template gives the child template some data used to set default values and callbacks.
Each is instantiated using a childArgs function that uses the child's id to set the correct data and callbacks.
When clicking a add button, it adds a child to the children array in the ReactiveDict.
When clicking a delete button, it removes the child from the children array in the ReactiveDict.
Template.parent.helpers({
    // Set the children arguments: default values and callbacks
    childArgs(child) {
        const instance = Template.instance();
        const state = instance.state;
        const children = state.get('children');
        return {
           id: child.id,
           // Default values
           value: child.value,
           // Just adding a child to the reactive variable using callback
           onAddClick() {
                const newChildren = [...children, child()];
                state.set('children', newChildren);
           },
           // Just deleting the child in the reactive variable in the callback
           onDeleteClick(childId) {
                const childIndex = children.findIndex(child => child.id === childId);
                children.splice(childIndex, 1);
                state.set('children', children);
            }
        }
    }
})

Child
Child html template
The template displays the data from the parent and 2 buttons, add and delete.
<template name="child">

{{value}}

        <button class="add_row" type="button">add</button>
        <button class="delete_row" type="button">delete</button>
</template>

Child javascript (events)
The two functions called here are the callbacks passed as arguments from the parent template.
// The two functions are callbacks passed as parameters to the child template
Template.child.events({
  'click .add_row'(event, templateInstance) {
    templateInstance.data.onAddClick();
  },
  'click .delete_row'(event, templateInstance) {
    templateInstance.data.onDeleteClick(templateInstance.data.id);
  },

Problem
My problem is that when I delete a child (using a callback to set the ReactiveDict like the onAddClick() function), my data is not rendered correctly.
Text Example:
I add rows like this.
child 1 | value 1
child 2 | value 2
child 3 | value 3

When I delete the child 2, I get this:
child 1 | value 1
child 3 | value 2

And I want this:
child 1 | value 1
child 3 | value 3

I'm initialising the child with the data from childArgs in the Template.child.onRendered() function.

*

*Good: The getChildren() function is called when deleting the child in the ReactiveDict and I have the correct data in the variable (children in the ReactiveDict).

*Good: If I have 3 children and I delete one, the parent template renders only 2 children.

*Bad: Yet the child's onRendered() is never called (neither is the child's onCreated() function). Which means the data displayed for the child template is wrong.

Picture example
I am adding pictures to help understand:

Correct html

The displayed HTML is correct: I had 3 children, and I deleted the second one. In my HTML, I can see that the two children that are displayed have the correct ID in their divs. Yet the displayed data is wrong.

Stale data

I already deleted the second child in the first picture. The children displayed should be the first and the third.
In the console log, my data is correct. Red data is the first. Purple is the third.
Yet we can see that the deleted child's data is displayed (asd and asdasd). When deleting a tag, I can see the second child's ID in the log, though it should not exist anymore. The second child ID is in green.

I probably have misunderstood something. Could you help me out?

A: I am not sure where to start but there are many errors and I rather like to provide a running solution here with comments.
First the each function should correctly pass the id instead of the whole child or the find will result in faults:
<template name="parent">
  {{#each child in getChildren}}
    {{#with (childArgs child.id)}}
      {{> childTemplate this}}
    {{/with}}
  {{/each}}
</template>

In the helper you can avoid calling too many of the Template.instance() functions by using lexical scoping:
childArgs (childId) {
  const instance = Template.instance()
  const children = instance.state.get('children')
  const childData = children.find(child => child.id === childId)
  const value = {
    // Default values
    data: childData,

    // Just adding a child to the reactive variable using callback
    onAddClick () {
      const children = instance.state.get('children')
      const length = children ? children.length : 1
      const newChild = { id: `data ${length}` }
      const newChildren = [...children, newChild]
      instance.state.set('children', newChildren)
    },

    // Just deleting the child in the reactive variable in the callback
    onDeleteClick (childId) {
      const children = instance.state.get('children')
      const childIndex = children.findIndex(child => child.id === childId)
      children.splice(childIndex, 1)
      instance.state.set('children', children)
    }
  }
  return value
}

Then note, that in the event callback 'click .delete_row' you are using templateInstance.data.id but this is always undefined with your current structure. It should be templateInstance.data.data.id because data is always defined for all data coming in a Template instance and if you name a property data then you have to access it via data.data:
Template.childTemplate.events({
  'click .add_row' (event, templateInstance) {
    templateInstance.data.onAddClick()
  },
  'click .delete_row' (event, templateInstance) {
    templateInstance.data.onDeleteClick(templateInstance.data.id)
  }
})

Now it also makes sense why your data was weirdly sorted. Take a look at the onDeleteClick callback:
onDeleteClick (childId) {
  // childId is always undefined in your code
  const children = instance.state.get('children')
  const childIndex = children.findIndex(child => child.id === childId)
  // childIndex is always -1 in your code
  // next time make a dead switch in such situations:
  if (childIndex === -1) {
    throw new Error(`Expected child by id ${childId}`)
  }
  children.splice(childIndex, 1)
  // if index is -1 this removes the LAST element
  instance.state.set('children', children)
}

So your issue was the splice behavior and passing an unchecked index into splice:

The index at which to start changing the array. If greater than the length of the array, start will be set to the length of the array. If negative, it will begin that many elements from the end of the array (with origin -1, meaning -n is the index of the nth last element and is therefore equivalent to the index of array.length - n). If array.length + start is less than 0, it will begin from index 0.

A: I fixed my problem. But I still don't understand how Blaze chooses to render.
Now, the solution looks a bit like the one given by @Jankapunkt in the first part of his solution, but not exactly. The find to get the child was working completely fine. But now that I make the template rendering dependent on a reactive helper, it re-renders the template when the id changes (which it did not when it was only dependent on the child itself from the each...in loop).
In the end, I don't understand what the each...in loop does and how it uses the data to loop. See Caveats.
To give credits where it's due, I had the idea of implementing that dependency from this post.
Edits from the original code
I edit the parent template to make the child rendering dependent on its own id. That way, when the child.id changes, the template re-renders.
Html template
I added a dependency on the child.id to re-render the child template.
<template name="parent">
    {{#each childId in getChildrenIds}}
        {{#let child=(getChild childId)}}
            {{> childTemplate (childArgs child)}}
        {{/let}}
    {{/each}}
</template>

Javascript
I have now two helpers. One to return the ids for the each...in loop, the other to return the child from the id and force the child template re-render.
Template.parent.helpers({
    // Return the children ids from the reactive dictionary
    getChildrenIds() {
        const children = Template.instance().state.get('children');
        const childrenIds = children.map(child => child.id);
        return childrenIds;
    },
    // Return the child object from its id
    getChild(childId) {
        const children = Template.instance().state.get('children');
        const child = children.find(child => child.id === childId);
        return child;
    }
});

Complete Code
Here is the complete solution.
Parent
Html template
<template name="parent">
    {{#each childId in getChildrenIds}}
        {{#let child=(getChild childId)}}
            {{> childTemplate (childArgs child)}}
        {{/let}}
    {{/each}}
</template>

Javascript
// Child data object
const child = () => ({
  id: uuid.v4(),
  value: ""
});

// Create a reactive dictionary
Template.parent.onCreated(function() {
  this.state = new ReactiveDict();
  this.state.setDefault({ children: [child()] });
});

Template.parent.helpers({
    // Return the children ids from the reactive dictionary
    getChildrenIds() {
        const children = Template.instance().state.get('children');
        const childrenIds = children.map(child => child.id);
        return childrenIds;
    },
    // Return the child object from its id
    getChild(childId) {
        const children = Template.instance().state.get('children');
        const child = children.find(child => child.id === childId);
        return child;
    },
    // Set the children arguments: default values and callbacks
    childArgs(child) {
        const instance = Template.instance();
        const state = instance.state;
        const children = state.get('children');
        return {
           id: child.id,
           // Default values
           value: child.value,
           // Just adding a child to the reactive variable using callback
           onAddClick() {
                const newChildren = [...children, child()];
                state.set('children', newChildren);
           },
           // Just deleting the child in the reactive variable in the callback
           onDeleteClick(childId) {
                const childIndex = children.findIndex(child => child.id === childId);
                children.splice(childIndex, 1);
                state.set('children', children);
            }
        }
    }
});

Child
Html template
<template name="child">

{{value}}

    <button class="add_row" type="button">add</button>
    <button class="delete_row" type="button">delete</button>
</template>

Javascript
Template.child.events({
    'click .add_row'(event, templateInstance) {
        templateInstance.data.onAddClick();
    },
    'click .delete_row'(event, templateInstance) {
        templateInstance.data.onDeleteClick(templateInstance.data.id);
    }
});

Caveats
The solution is working. But my each..in loop is weird.
When I delete a child, I get the correct IDs when the getChildrenIds() helper is called.
But the each..in loops over the original IDs, even those who were deleted and are NOT in the getChildrenIds() return value. The template is not rendered of course because the getChild(childId) throws an error (the child is deleted). The display is then correct.
I don't understand that behaviour at all. Anybody knows what is happening here?
If anybody has the definitive answer, I would love to hear it.

A: Correct way of solving this issue
The correct way to fix this is to create your own _id which gets a new unique _id each time the array of objects changes. It is outlined in the Blaze docs here: http://blazejs.org/api/spacebars.html#Reactivity-Model-for-Each
This will only happen when you are dealing with #each blocks with non-cursors, like arrays or arrays of objects.
Cursor-based data together with #each blocks works fine and gets rerendered correctly, like Pages.findOne(id).
Examples if you need to deal with arrays and #each blocks
