Q: Excel 2007 - Can you give groups names? I want to group a set of rows then hide them. Once hidden can you make it display some sort of text message.
Like right now it just hides the rows.
It is not very obvious that the rows are hidden. Can you give a message to be shown when hidden sort of like regions in C#
region hi
// some code
#endregion

if you collapse(hide) the region you will see at least "hi" and no right off the bat that something is hidden.

A: I think the expectation if you're grouping rows in Excel 2007 (on the Data tab/toolbar for those unfamiliar) is that you're grouping the data used to generate totals that are shown on the row immediately following the group. It's basically just a friendlier way to do what you've always been able to do with hiding rows/columns, and the grouping indicators in the margins are there to show you that something's hidden.

A: For rows, you can add descriptive text to the row immediately above or below the rows containing the data you want to group. The description will be visible whether or not you have expanded the outline.


The first day back to school is always strange. You're bummed that the summer is over and that you're back to the grind, but you're excited to see all your friends and wear your cute new clothes. This year, I think I'm more excited than not.
I know it's weird to be excited about homework, quizzes and school runs, but I'm kind of ready for a bit more structure. For the whole summer I slept in every day and went surfing. Even work didn't really feel like work. Not that I didn't enjoy the laziness of the summer, I'm just ready to be a bit more productive.
I'm sure in a couple weeks I'll be dreaming of my next vacation, but for now I'm content to be back to school. This past week I got to hang out with Finn a lot so I'm not going through withdrawl just yet. We're going to get together tomorrow after school for a quick surf session so we can catch up and tell each other about our first days back.
It's weird cuz I feel like I've known Finn forever, but I actually don't know a lot about him. Like, I've never met any of his friends. I have no idea what his average day is like. We still haven't met each others families either. I guess if we're able to make a go of things, I'll learn all these things eventually. I guess I'm just a bit nosy sometimes. I want to know everything about Finn and don't want to wait!
I should probably stop being so impatient and start enjoying my last few days of freedom. No homework yet, but you know there's going to be a lot of it just around the corner! How was your first day back to school?
Back-to-School - Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?
Thumbs up - I love going back to school.
Thumbs down - I wish summer was an extra six months.
I'm homeschooled so it doesn't really make a difference.

Columbia, SC- July 10, 2018 – Richland County First Steps to School Readiness (RCFS) has announced the appointment of Marcia Bacon as their new CEO. She assumed responsibilities on July 1, 2018 and succeeding Rick Noble, who has retired after 19 years with the early childhood nonprofit organization.
Bacon has been part of the Richland County First Steps team for 14 years as Director of Care and Early Learning. Previously Bacon taught middle school reading and math, and she worked in Presbyterian churches in Christian Education. She came to RCFS after a successful tenure as Director of the highly-rated Shandon Presbyterian Child Development Center. It was there that she first connected with RCFS as a recipient of an equipment grant and technical assistance services during RCFS' early years. She then became a First Steps champion and advocate for improved technical assistance support and "coaching" for the child care community.
Richland County First Steps to School Readiness is one of 46 county-level partnerships created by the SC General Assembly in 2000 to improve educational outcomes in SC by increasing support and services for young children and their families. It is led a Partnership Board with representatives from business, education, and community organizations.

A: I don't know how you can add a click listener to a chart activity.
But if possible, you may instead create a chart View using getPieChartView() and call setOnClickListener() on the returned View.

(August 31st, 2017) A new initiative is launched to reduce the time spent on manuscript resubmission, peer-review and the transfer to and from preprint servers.
As a student, who has only recently tasted the process of writing and submitting a manuscript, I was astonished at the time and energy it takes to make the work ready for submission, never mind publication. For someone, who is a fresher in this field, I'm wondering 'Why does it have to be so difficult?' Surely, if you have done the experiments, based on good research ethics, and you have come to a unifying conclusion, it should be fairly easy to get the study out there in the big world, for your peers to review, repeat and build on your findings. Ultimately, research is meant to be shared and the publishing process should be just the final touch during the Eureka process, should it not?
Reading about the new Manuscript Exchange Common Approach (MECA), I received a glimpse of hope that maybe, in the not so distant future, life as a researcher will become a little less worrisome. MECA is a new initiative by a group of manuscript-management suppliers, who want to develop a platform to exchange manuscripts and their reviews between publishing groups, when the manuscript has been rejected by the first-choice publisher. "Authors lose time and effort when their manuscript is rejected by a journal and they have to repeat the submission process in subsequent journals," they say. This requires the authors of the manuscript, for instance, to reformat their paper based on each separate journal's requirements – a waste of valuable time. "Plus, it is estimated that 15 million hours of researcher time is wasted each year repeating reviews. Both of these challenges could be addressed if journals and publishers could transfer manuscripts between publications using different submission-tracking systems," the MECA founders continue. Other issues with the current system include the difficulty of the transfer to/from preprint servers, which is also to be tackled by MECA.
The project started in the winter of 2016-2017 and, so far, involves Clarivate Analytics, Aries Systems, eJournal Press, HighWire and PLoS. Currently, the main challenges are agreeing on a standard nomenclature and finding simple ways to gather files and securely pass reviewing information between all parties. If realised, this fast-track system could ease the transfer of manuscripts and decrease the amount of time spent on a publication. In addition, it might also make the publication process more transparent.
So, any drawbacks to this exciting idea? Similar initiatives in the past have shown that "these experiments haven't always met with success - uptake is limited, perhaps because authors don't necessarily want a journal to know it was not their first choice. And it's interesting that the MECA initiative is primarily being led by systems suppliers rather than publishers; how would (say) a small publisher feel about putting time and effort into the peer review process for a paper, and then passing the results of that process to (say) a bigger competitor? It's hard to model who has most to gain from manuscript exchange, and it may be another scenario in which small publishers end up losing ground to bigger ones", points out blogger Charlie Rapple in the Scholarly Kitchen. Also, reviews, when done constructively, can improve a manuscript. If one simply transfers the manuscript, there's no incentive to make it better.
Thus, the MECA project is a promising initiative but can it really revolutionise the process of publishing manuscripts?


I was recently invited to check out Babalu, which is located in the amazing Summit at Fritz Farm in Lexington, Kentucky.
The brainchild of restauranteurs Bill Latham and Al Roberts, Babalu focuses on executing Latin-inspired cuisine. Their tapas menu was derived from a respect, love, and admiration for the guaracha, cha-cha, and latin jazz music. The restaurant is named in honor of composer and singer Miguelito Valdes, a.k.a. "Mr. Babalu", and after the signature song of the television character Ricky Ricardo, played by Desi Arnaz in the television comedy series I Love Lucy.
My best friend Shelby and I got to sample several items on the menu and it was a fantastic afternoon to say the least.
Babalu makes guacamole table side; naturally, I couldn't say no!
Crab croquettes (crispy crab cakes, comeback sauce, and cilantro-vinegar slaw).
The queso was one of our favorites. It's a blend of melted Monterey Jack and chihuahua cheeses in a skillet, very reminiscent of the base for queso fundido.
I sampled three of the tacos: the blackened fish (comeback sauce, cilantro slaw, radish), the fried shrimp (comeback sauce, cilantro slaw, radish), and the chorizo (roasted poblano salsa, pico de gallo, avocado). All three were great, though my favorite was the blackened fish.
Grilled steak skewers (great with the queso!).
Crab cakes (lump crab, comeback sauce, cilantro).
Fried oysters (cornmeal breaded, comeback sauce, green onions).
Dates (Medjool dates with a spiced, crispy bacon, whipped goat cheese, and black molasses).
Roasted Mushrooms (cremini and shittake mushrooms, served with prosciutto and manchego cheese).
Tres leches cake — need I say more?

This is my first post, but I've been lurking off and on for over a year - hello! About 18 months ago, I decided to embrace the wave/curl, which led me to this site. I learned a lot from reading the articles and lurking on the boards and switched to sulfate and silicone-free products. My hair feels so much healthier now, but I haven't found any holy grail products...not for lack of buying stuff, but probably because I haven't gotten the hang of using them. I've tried watching youtube videos and it seems simple, but nothing seems to work for my hair the way it does in the video.
My hair is fine, medium porosity, medium-to-high density. With my sub-par styling techniques, it ends up looking 2B...but when I first get out of the shower and scrunch it, I have spirals that look like they could be 2C/3A if I could master styling it. I recently chopped it to shoulder-length (it had previously been just past bra-strap length) and I love the new length - it's so much lighter and if I could get the spirals to stay, they would be very cute. I air-dry because for me, the entire point of wearing it wavy is to avoid blow-drying. I am open to any and all suggestions!
First problem: I have never managed to successfully scrunch out the crunch, so I avoid any hard-hold products. I've tried experimenting with more or less product, scrunching with or without water, different ways of scrunching, more or less scrunching...it never fails, if I try to scrunch it at all when it's dry, it turns into a frizzy mess and I still have crunchy bits. Any ideas, or do hard-hold products just not work for some hair?
Second problem: Even with lighter-hold products, it dries with a 'wet look,' so I feel like I need to do something. When I do nothing and let it dry, I generally have looser waves on the bottom layers and spirals on the top layers. The looser waves look straggly and the spirals lay flat with no body. Overall, my ends (which are healthy), end up looking straggly. Like with hard-hold gel, if I mess with the spirals too much, they frizz.
To be honest, my hair looks best if I let it dry, then brush it lightly - which I know you're not supposed to do, but it's the only technique I've tried that gets rid of that straggly, wet-when-dry look. If I brush the top layers very lightly (once), it destroys the spirals, but leaves me with 2B waves. I then run the brush through the lower layers and my ends to get rid of the straggly look. The end result looks 2B - which I can live with, but I'd love to let it do it's spiraly thing if it's just a matter of learning the right technique. Any suggestions?
What products are you using? Maybe we can suggest something that will work better. When are you applying your styling products? I've found it best to apply on drippy wet hair, so as soon as I rinse, I apply my gel, then grab my hair towel and squish dry. On the other hand, some people do better applying their stylers on towel dried hair. You might want to experiment with that.
You're not alone, love! I used to hate the crunchy and weird wet look whenever I used curl cream/gel. But 'lo and behold I learned to love them because my curls stays defined for up to 3 days max because of the crunchy process. Of course we still gotta scrunch them out (with or without oil) BUT only when they're 100% dry (if you're air dryig). Oftentimes when I'm in a hurry I diffuse when I feel like it's 75% dry (still somewhat wet but mostly dry - I plop beforehand for 20 min to speed up the drying process). Scrunch/diffuse fr side to side then with your hair in front. If it's still crunchy despite diffusing or scrunching the heck out of it what I do is I put all my hair in a pineapple for a few minutes then that usually takes all the crunch out.
Also, I am also a 2c/3a gal and find my hair is curlier (more 3a) whenever I diffuse.
Experiment, experiment. You'll eventually find what works best for you. Hope this helps!
Thank you both! I know it's a process of experimenting, but sometimes I feel like I'll never get there.
Yikes, 3-day hair from crunchy gel! I hear of such things, but at this point I'd settle for same-day afternoon hair. I've never managed to 'revive' my hair for a second day without wetting it completely and styling again from scratch. When I sleep on it, I wake up with medusa hair - and then when I touch it to try to fix it, it frizzes. It is shoulder-length, too short to pineapple or braid overnight. Any ideas?
I always air-dry...mostly because my toddler does not allow me the alone time it would take to blow-dry my hair. To be honest, though, I also stink at blow-drying, with or without a diffuser. I haven't tried it often with a diffuser, but since it's freezing in my bathroom in the morning at this time of year, now would be a great time to experiment, at least on days when my son sleeps a little later than usual.
For products, my hair looks best when I wash it every 2-3 days. I've tried several sulfate-free shampoos and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Right now, I am using DevaCurl low-poo. Suave essentials for conditioner, though many conditioners work great for me (Shea Moisture conditioners did not - I tried several and my hair was very soft and flat when I used them, regardless of what else I used). I am generally happiest with my hair when I use Curl Junkie Curls in a Bottle and then DevaCurl volumizing foam. I've tried other products and have a cabinet full of things to experiment with, but I always end up coming back to this combination. I apply them to dripping wet hair, scrunch, then plop for about ten minutes. I then have maybe 30 minutes until I leave my house, so there's a rather short window for doing anything else to it like clipping, etc. It takes about 3 hours to air-dry, so I am leaving the house with wet hair.
If I could solve the overnight hair issue and get a couple days out of it, that would be life-changing. I could spend more time on my hair in the evening than I can in the morning. But it goes flat and very messy overnight, so I'm not sure what to do with it.
What gels are you using that give you a gel cast? Also, do you know where you fall on the protein sensitivity spectrum?
I also have 2c/3a hair out of the shower. For me, frizz is a huge problem. I've noticed that scrunching/touching too much when dry and not enough moisture are my biggest issues. Using more leave-in/conditioner has helped my frizz a lot (I leave in my daily conditioner and also add a little more leave in after showering). Also, my hair likes creams (i.e. DevaCurl supercream, CJ CCCL). I usually do a leave-in and cream styler on dripping wet hair, scrunch with my hands to get out some of the water, then apply gel (i.e. DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel). Then I can scrunch with microfiber towel and add a little more gel. Not sure if a cream/gel combo would work better for you? I'm not sure what gel combos you have been trying before. Harder holding gels help keep my curls, along with tons of protein in my regimen (why I asked where you fall on that spectrum). I'll plop for about 30 minutes after this to let my hair dry a little on my head. At night I will spray a little leave-in on my hair for moisture.
For second day hair I like to mix water with leave-in in my hands (put product in one hand, quickly wet other hand under running water, then mix) and smooth it over the canopy and scrunch into bottom layers. I then repeat with KCCC. I noticed KCCC tends to loosen my curl pattern, but it is AWESOME for my second-day frizz (probably because it so moisturizing and that is one of my key problems).
The other thing I'm wondering about is your length? I think my hair get curlier as it gets longer, but I'm wondering if the weight when wet is elongating my curls (possibly yours)? Plopping could be helpful (for me it definitely is). Sorry for the huge post!
Experimenting with: jessicurl, oidad, CJ, protein!


One of the precepts of the order of friars is to go out among the people. Having time on my hands and hearing of war on the eastern borders of Calontir (there is always need of spiritual guidance in wars), I followed this precept and wandered east.
The site of the confrontation was in the lands to the south of the Barony of Three Rivers. But I had to wonder if a marauding army had already ravaged the barony as all the highways I traveled upon were undergoing extensive repair, slowing my progress. As I was not familiar with the area finding the proper highway was difficult, and it was late at night before I found the encampments.
The next morning, I wandered the camps to see if I could find anyone that I knew. And in the middle I found the tent of Sir Stephen de Norfolk and went to greet him. We were the only Vatavians at the war. While we talked he remembered he had several of my books and finally returned them to me, as task he had been attempting to do for several months. We then set up his weapons display.
The origins of this war predate the existence of Calontir. The founding baron of Three Rivers, Steven Ironhand, had made some unwise promises, which caught up with him when the Middle Kingdom and Meredies went to war. His actions to fulfill his promises labeled him forever more as the Traitor Baron. The fallout from this was that the Barony of Grey Niche had a claim on Three Rivers. The current dustup is the result of the Baron of Grey Niche presenting Three Rivers as an offering to the Princess of Meredies, to which the current Baron of Three Rivers objected.
When the forces assembled that morning, Grey Niche was greatly outnumbered. Its Baron explained this was because he was simply out on an inspection tour with only his personal guard appropriate to his station. No one believed this, and it hardly stopped the commencing of bloodshed. And so the rest of the afternoon was filled with the usual banging and clanging appropriate to this sort of activity. Needless to say, Three Rivers swept the field, though Grey Niche faired better in other venues.
Meanwhile I visited with Sir Erich Hlodowechssun who was going to be made a Laurel that evening for his research. I also viewed the arts entries, which consisted of icons of someone named Elvis whose cult has a major presence in Grey Niche. And I watched some riders go though some exercise with their horses, including one lady who couldn't be much more then six years of age. But it was at court I realized I needed to get out more. For while I knew that the Known World had expanded to include new kingdoms, I had never heard of the Kingdom of Rock and Roll, whose king made a brief appearance at court.
The evening meal was taken at the Bumblebee Tavern, which consisted of steak so well done that it was literally falling apart. A little later dancing broke out in front of the tavern. The evening ended at the bardic circle lead, as usual, by Sir Master Erich and Master Andrixos.
The following morning I made my way uneventfully back to Vatavia. Too bad not all wars could be so friendly.

Signed Song Music Video Weekend
We recently shared news about how the Deaffest team had been very busy organising the signed song music video project, which took place recently in Birmingham from 20th to 23rd April 2017.
Music Video Producer Stacy Lawrence and Performing Artist Rosa Lee Timm travelled all the way from the USA to join the pre-production meeting, which took place on Thursday 20th April. Zebra Uno & Zebra Access' Directors Nikki Stratton and Marilyn Willrich who took on the role as Executive Directors in this project, Film Director Bim Ajadi, Director of Photography Alexandra Boanta, Production Manager Jack Smallwood, Choreographer Chris Fonseca and PR Liaison Officer Lou Parrott attended the meeting and it was a great start to the project. The discussion took place throughout the full day, with both expertise and many great ideas and being shared amongst the group, who were exploring various ways of collaborating on the project. With just three days to produce the video, there was certainly no time to rest on our laurels!
The music video project, the first of its kind to be produced in the UK, involved a collaboration of deaf artists from the USA and the UK coming together to give young deaf people an opportunity to learn about the different cultures and languages, and to be inspired by the artists. The Deaf Film Camp in America, which was founded by Stacy Lawrence, inspired the idea of the music video project and, while we're passionate about supporting and developing the talents of deaf people, we wanted this project to specifically empower young deaf people and allow them to express themselves through dancing and signing to songs, as well as to meet role models and enjoy themselves.
"I'm really excited about this project and collaborating with an international artist makes the project even more exciting. Overall I am really looking forward to working with everybody. I hope the project will inspire the next generation and continue their dreams. Anything is possible!" – Chris Fonseca, Choreographer
The film crew which included the Zebra Uno media team had a very early start on the chilly morning of Friday 21st April. Working in Birmingham's creative quarter – the Digbeth area where the walls are illuminated with colourful graffiti works, the crew set to work capturing Chris in action with his hip hop style of dancing (which even got a couple of passer-by joining in the dancing!) Later on with further filming took place, this time with Rosa signing to Yolanda Adams' song, I Believe, and then busting some moves with Chris!
The team spent the next day at the Ruddock Performing Arts Centre in Birmingham where they led a workshop and the young deaf people had an opportunity to learn about the making of music videos, signing songs with Rosa and trying out dance moves with Chris. The participants also had the opportunity to experience American Sign Language and learn how ASL differs from British Sign Language.
The workshop continued the next day, Sunday 23rd April at the Ruddock Performing Arts Centre where the young deaf people had a great workshop led by Stacy and Nikki learning about Deaf films. Later on, the participants practiced dancing ready for their performance that afternoon in the 'Raising the Bar' showcase.
The showcase is part of the National Deaf Children's Society's 'Raising the Bar' competition. Raising the Bar was first launched in 2015 with a purpose to give deaf children and young people in the UK an opportunity to do something they enjoy and to develop their talents, as well as raising deaf awareness through the arts and making dance, music and acting more accessible for deaf children and young people. This year is the 3rd year running for Raising the Bar and the competition consisted of four different workshops led by deaf professionals; Music and the Deaf, Deafinitely Theatre, Deaf Men Dancing and lastly our workshop led by Deaffest.
The participants from the four workshops got together in this showcase and showed the audience their talents! The young deaf people who participated in our sign song music video workshop put on a fantastic show with Chris, signing their song and doing some dancing!
"We thoroughly enjoyed seeing this project come to life and we're proud of this wonderful team who have worked hard to make this happen! It has been an amazing experience watching ASL and BSL work together on such a unique project like this. This was about the kids being inspired and letting their confidence grow and this experience will allow them to follow their aspirations/dreams." Marilyn Willrich and Nikki Stratton, Deaffest Co-Founders
"Raising the Bar 2017 was a huge success, with each young person putting on a stunning performance at the showcase whether it was playing a musical instrument, dancing, acting or signed singing. With the right support, deaf children and young people can achieve anything their hearing peers can, and every young person who came along definitely raised the bar. We were delighted with how the event went, a huge congratulations to everyone who took part!" – Bryony Parkes, Youth Development Officer for NDCS
The four-day project saw much collaboration amongst the team and presented exciting challenges. Not only have we have learnt from each other, but we have also inspired one another through our culture, language and expertise.
"It's been a really challenging project in a good way and I would do it all over again. It's been great working with a fantastic team." – Bim Ajadi, Film Director
We would like to thank all the individuals involved in making the project happen. The music video will be launched on Saturday 13th May 2017 at Young Deaffest in Cinema One at Light House Media Centre, Chubb Buildings, Fryer St, Wolverhampton WV1 1HT from 12.30pm to 2pm. Don't miss out!
"Dreams don't work unless you do. Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it." – Chris Fonseca

Together with almost everything which seems to be building inside this particular area, your points of view happen to be very radical. On the other hand, I beg your pardon, but I can not give credence to your entire theory, all be it exhilarating none the less. It appears to everyone that your remarks are actually not totally rationalized and in simple fact you are generally your self not really completely convinced of your argument. In any event I did enjoy examining it.

These guys seem cool. They alsways chillin posting videos. They gotta be rich and full of resources because the American government spends trillions looking for them instead of education and job creaion like infrastructure. Forget being a scam artist politician, bankers, and investers stealing from everyone, these guys seem like they're about some action.
I found this while on Blog. How in the world might this kind of thing happen? I will be sure to bookmark this website, I will definitely come back all of the time. A big thanks for this! I can not believe what I just learned. I've always been intrigued about the topic, I am planning on doing more investigating on the topic some day soon.

Al-Qaeda 2.0 will be aided and abetted by Muslims 2.0 and Liberals 2.0

They are defiantly losing on all fronts and will someday be history.

Never before, or after 9-11-2001 in the history of the planet has a steel frame high-rise building collapsed as the result of fire and yet it is supposed to have happened 3 times in 1 day on 911.
WTC Tower 7: Height 642 ft (160 m), 44 Floors, collapsed symmetrically into its own footprint by demolition after a countdown can be clearly heard over 2 way radios to clear emergency personnel from the area of the building. WTC Billionaire owner Larry Silverstein quoted directly on national TV describing what happened to WTC Tower 7 said: "I said maybe the smartest thing to do is to PULL IT. And then they made the decision to PULL, and we watched the building collapse." Clearly the decision to "PULL" refers to controlled demolition. In point of fact unexplained explosions were reported in WTC Tower 7 even before the collapse Tower 1. No aircraft hit Tower 7 on 911 and when the building was demolished it had only 2 small areas of fire secondary to the collapse of Tower 1 which was more than 400 feet away to the south west.
Flight 77: All of the hundreds of Pentagon security videos have been withheld from the public except one 15 second clip which clearly DOES NOT show a commercial aircraft, but something much more like a drone or cruise missile passing along the courtyard and into the Pentagon. The original hole made by the impact in the Pentagon parameter wall was approximately 19 feet wide and penetrated the outer wall of the Pentagon's E Ring and the damage extended all the way through the inner wall of the C Ring, through the heavily reinforced walls. The aircraft used for Flight 77 that supposedly hit the Pentagon was a Boeing 757-223 which has a fuselage 37 feet in diameter and 2 large wing mounted engines. The hole in the Pentagon wall was only 19 feet wide, and yet the entire aircraft is supposed to have compressed itself, gone into a 19 foot hole and disappeared leaving virtually no trace of engines, wings, tail , passengers, luggage, and seats. It is very, very simple: Why doesn't the Pentagon release the videos being withheld and end the controversy once and for all, unless they are hiding something?
Flight 93: At the "official" crash site the coroner's examination showed no evidence of human blood or tissue whatsoever. In addition no aircraft engines, luggage, seats, wings, or tail were found at the crash site. In the history of air travel this has never happened before or since. Even when a plane few at full speed into the face of a mountain in Brazil the crash debris contained all the evidence conspicuously missing at the site of Flight 93. The largest fragments at the 93 site were measured in centimeters. Never in the history of aviation has a cash yielded this type of results except on 911.
More muslim crap for another 100 years.
Hi. I am the new spokesperson for al-Qaeda. Just call me Al. Over the next ten years we expect to diversify our holdings and acquire stock in agricultural areas while divesting ourselves of our holdings in goat futures and turban factories. We'll be putting some money into public relations and hiring quite a few bosomy starlets to promote our new Bacon Flavored Hummus© "You'll Run Away Screaming!"™ Remember, it's not your old ayatollah's al-Qaeda anymore, oh, and 'Death to America.'
Oh wow your hilarious. I'm 15 and I can see that this is serious thing and your joking about it!! People are afraid and dying and you're pretending to be the spokes person. Maybe we could hold you responsible for the 3,000 dead from 9/11. Could you try to be a little more matur
We have a suicide vest just your size, Cole. And it says WEENIE on the back so everyone will know it's you. 'Death to America!"™
Yeah, Al, be a little more respectful of al-Qaeda there. You're upsetting the kids.
Hahahhahah - awesome!
Hey cole, there are 20 million violent crimes in america done by other americans. Just watch you back, you or anyone else are not gonna have to worry about any terrorists kid. 9/11 was bad airplane security at the most. Ask yourself one question. How does anyone know the real number of terroists on planes that were completely destroyed with no evidence????
For more info read groundbreaking novel- king of Bat'ha
Oh dear, CNN really has hit rock bottom. Hey, CNN, how is your 9/11 VicSIM memorial holding up? Lots of rearranging / editing to do, huh? Must be a pain.
Al Qaeda will fade away.
Yes they will. People were afraid of what would happen after Osama Bin Laden was killed but his death made Al Queda very unorganized.
We are going through a period of reorganization and readjustment on the advice of our stockholders, who feel that 'fatwas' are an unsustainable program in this uncertain economy. We've trying to hire jihadis with M.B.A's and feel that we might be more successful in the entertainment field than in the fatwa business. Any of you chicks want to be in a movie? Call me. Oh, and 'Death to America!"™
When you put good people with a common interest in a room together, they are sure to talk about shared interests. People today really should pay close attention to this sort of information or they are going to have a really difficult later on in their life. I'm so happy I discovered your site. I'm always amazed that you are somehow able to write such great content on a consistent basis. I can not believe what I just learned.

Karmic Tips
Looks like we are making/building a case here for another reckless spending for the next 10 more years.
Iwami a Salami
Anwar al Awlaki gives the best hand jobs in all of Islam. He has smoothe hands and uses fragrant lotion.
Only 5 rupees. Go to toilet near camel station and tap foot three times at water troth.
This is a filthy lie promoted by our enemies. He charges at least 25 rupees. "Death to America!"™
Most of their people live in poverty. Don't you think their time & resources would be better spent improving their own countries instead of worrying about someone else's? Isn't economic success the best revenge? Build & grow something better than USA. It seems to be working for China.
In truth, it's going to be like it should have been in the 90s. WHACKA MOLE. They put their heads up, and we smack'em down. Fortunately Predator(now Reaper and Avenger) drones are making that increasingly cost effective.
This will go on until they get the message that they're better off doing things like... I dunno, growing crops, hearding sheep, going to school, teaching their kids, digging wells, paving roads, taking care of their people, all the stuff that's not getting down now because they're dragging their best and brightest into a useless conflict with the West or they're preventing the West from doing it for them.
Andrew, heard of sheep? We sure have. Baaa. "Death to America."™
America isn't going away for a long while, as long as Obama isn't elected again.
I know right? They have so much money over there from all their oil but they're spending it all on fighting us. Well at least the United Arab Emarites are doing fine.
Spending a ton of money on the situation hasnt helped...maybe if we ignore them they will go away instead.
Yeah. That's what Clinton did during repeated attempts throughout his presidency. He even shirked several chances to kill bin Laden. And look what that led to.
To be fair, Andrew had several chances to stop us back then too, since we ran a mini mart next to his house. He bought Playboys from us instead. I guess, like Clinton, he didn't know who we were. "Death to America!"™
He was too focused on his young intern! Bush actually put things into motion. People don't realize if it weren't for him we wouldn't have killed Bin Laden. Countries were afraid of Bush because they knew he would take action. That's what we need, a president who is not afraid!!
This is to Al Kider, you're really funny. You can run the minimart but we can be in charge of you!!
When are we going to stop giving the thugs of Al Qaeda relevance? They don't need to attack us...just continue their BS and CNN and others will stir the drama and their terror is complete. Al Qaeda is a bully on playground...yes capable of doing harm. However, the more attention you give them, the more they will spread their BS. We have raised them to fame. Good work CNN and Fox!
We will stop whn we also stop giving an ear to AIPAC who are known agents of a foreign naton.
Why else would the group change their name to AIPAC when too many of their followers are marked as spies?
Want to tell me how your statement has relevance to Al Qaeda and my post? I work in DOD in Washington. We made Al Qaeda who it is. See how Europeans deal with terror? How did the UK handle the bombing in the subway system? Did they scream the sky is falling? No and what happened? The more relevance you give them the more they will continue. We have become a nation of Drama, "This Daytime Drama has been brought to you by, CNN and Fox!"
SAM: What happened is they have enclaves run by Sharia law where police cannot enter.
Hmmmmmm - lets pass on the European model, OK?
Sam I agree. I'm waiting for these morons to have a red carpet event. They are as famous as the Kardashians and in my opinion just as cartoonish. Plus they love all the attention.
As the new local representative for al-Qaeda, I can reveal that we are hoping to hire one or more Kardashians to promote our new line of high-fashion burlap burkhas. Can't you just see those long legs and bubblebutt hidden under a tarp so nothing but the eyes show? "Death to America!"™
Can't argue with your two points here, Sam.
I never thought about that. What about in the 90s before anyone knew who they were and they set off the bomb in the parking garage of one of the towers. Remember, hundreds hurt, ring any bells?
Al Qaeda + Afrikanization = BIG problem. Just like Bob Greene of CNN mentioned the other day in his article on the "War on Terrorism", this war will never end. One generation begets the next to pick up and run with the terrorist ball, and this will continue ad infinitum. It's ignorant to think I'm being negative in my outlook as this is a war, as Greene mentioned, with those who wear no uniforms, have no flag, and adhere to no borders: they are those of us who exist everywhere. We need to continue to live as if this hasn't effected us, but it has, and because of that, our world has slowly become more micro than macro. If AQIM is successful in their Afrikanization of al Qaeda, then all bets are off as to duration, attack points, all the who's, what's, and where's. If they succeed, their brand of the "colonization" of Africa will truly be legendary, because every western nation has failed..........(yes, South Africa is a mess – that barely meets the standards of any western dominion). So break out the party favors..........and buy more: it's gonna be a long ride, and most of us, if not all, will be long gone by the time it's considered "over".
when will cnn tell us about how alwaki dined at the pentagon after 911?
There's nothing to tell. I assume you're trying to make some conspiracy theory about how they were working together? Right after 9/11, Awlaki was presenting himself as a moderate muslim who spoke out against the terrorists. Now he may have been pretending or he may have really felt that way and then changed over time (we will never know), but to try and add one plus one and make three is just idiotic on your part.
Lazerslayer
I don't post often, but this one I could not pass up. I work in an area that is uniquely qualified to end your rants.
10 year plan, Zawahiri and Awlaki, I doubt you will make the first anniversary.
Casey Woods
Your name keeps coming up when I talk with people about this subject. Have they tested your theory? I'm really looking forward to more posts from you! Ever traveled to Iowa? Awesome insights and really easy to comprehend.
http://ripr.org/post/providence-boston-join-regional-effort-tamp-down-gun-violence-trafficking#stream/0
I think it's high time we stop giving free air time and press to Al Queda...
That seems reasonable; how much is your advertising rate? As the new managing director of al-Qaeda, I can tell you we're going to need some PR work.
The next 10 years will bring whatever the CIA and other complicit intelligence agencies dream-up!
We're thinking of making bin Laden plushie dolls©. Too soon? How about M&Ms with teeny little Mohamed faces on them? Because this "jihad-and-fatwa" business we're in right now is so "Windows95." We've got to change with the times, and so we need a new line in time for Fall. Don't miss our "Al-Qaeda's Own Bacon Flavored Hummus©." You'll Run Away Screaming!™
Al Kider, managing director of al-Qaeda USA
"Death To America!"™
I'm really hoping you write more very soon. It was a really simple question asked by my friend that I had no idea how to answer. This might be a weird thing to to say but, I love your blogs. To think, I was really confused a minute ago. Can you grant me an extra moments of your time to address just a few concerns? I'm really on the same side as you.
http://moldovenilachicago.org/author/textpvc74/
I hope they assassinate Al Awlaki Asap.
Asap is not a member of al-Qaeda, according to my membership rolls. Another failure of US intelligence! 'Death to America!' ™
bmull
Awlaki denies he is a member of al Qaeda and no public evidence has been produced to the contrary, but it's hard to pursue a libel case when you're targeted for assassination.
We are Al Qaeda. The next 10 years will bring more videos that look as if they were made on Public Access TV. Also, we will continue to wear crooked glasses. Thank you for your time.
We buy those glasses from my cousin Akbar. He guarantees they will keep us chaste and pure. "Death to America."™
Really dude? Why don't you just go and comment on a soft story and leave this to the people who are interested and would like to voice there opinions. "GO AMERICA!"
And here we go again.... ._.
Hi, I'm Robert Stephens. I am a 6th generation American. Al Queda, just so you know, I am one of 300,000,000 Americans now. 97% of us are still really really pissed. We took the high road on 9-11-2001 and that was probably best. But you murder any more of us again, and hoards of us have passports and many of us travel. Suffice to say, any more physcho murder crap on us, and millions will come for you in the night. Along with that, we have 14 Trident Subs, the third most powerful "country" on Earth, as they are monikered. Just one can destroy the middle east 4 times over. DO NOT THREAD ON US...Again! You will either die or glow in the dark for the next thousand years. Allah that, you crazy azzholes.

Sylvan Saul Barnet (December 11, 1926 – January 11, 2016) was an American literary critic and Shakespearean scholar. He was a Fletcher Professor of English Emeritus at Tufts University and the general editor of the Signet Classics Shakespeare.

Biography
Barnet was born in Brooklyn, New York, and attended Erasmus Hall High School. His father was a leather tanner. Barnet served in the U.S. Army at the tail end of World War II. He earned his bachelor's degree at New York University in 1948, and then his M.A. in 1950 and Ph.D. in 1954 at Harvard University. In 1951, Barnet met William C. Burto. The two became life partners in 1952.

Barnet spent his entire career at Tufts University, where he taught English literature from 1954 to 1984 and served for several terms as chair of the English department. He was the first Jewish member of the department.

Barnet authored numerous books and articles on William Shakespeare, including A Short Guide to Shakespeare. In the early 1960s, Barnet successfully proposed to the New American Library the creation of a new series of Shakespeare's plays, one that would be aimed at college students. Each low-cost volume in the Signet Classics Shakespeare series focused on a single play. Every book included a general essay by Barnet about Shakespeare's life and times, an introductory essay about the specific play by an eminent scholar, and excerpts of some of Shakespeare's sources and inspirations.

Barnet was the co-author (with Burto) of essays on aspects of Japanese art. Their writings on art drew inspiration from the couple's impressive personal collection, which was donated to four different museums after their deaths. Barnet also wrote several textbooks about art, writing, and literature. In total, Barnet wrote, co-wrote, or edited over forty books during his lifetime.

Barnet lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with Burto until the latter's death in 2013. Barnet died of brain cancer at his home on January 11, 2016, at the age of 89.

Background & Objective: Chronic renal failure (CRF) is an irreversible violation of renal function. The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiologic pattern of patients with this disease and related factors in hemodialysis patients of Shahid Ayatollah Ashrafi Esfahani Hospital in Tehran in 2017.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted on 359 patients referring to the hemodialysis department of Shahid Ayatollah Ashrafi Esfahani Hospital who had undergone continuous hemodialysis for at least three months. Information was gathered through the medical history contained in the patient records of the hemodialysis department, and, in cases where necessary, additional interviews were conducted. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using Stata software version 14.
Results: Of 359 patients in the study, 230 (64.07%) were male with mean and SD (58.04 ± 1.09), of which 49.86% were in the age range> 60 years old and only 3/90% of the patients were under the age of 30 years. 193 (53.76%) were illiterate and 233 (64.90%) were employed. Frequency (percentage of frequency) in terms of the most commonly known possible causes of the patients were respectively: hypertension 91 (25.35%), hypertension and diabetes combined 84 (23.40%) and diabetes 78 (21.73%). 106 (29.53%) patients, were diagnosed with other types of illnesses.
Conclusion: Considering the hypertension and diabetes as the main causes of chronic renal failure, using appropriate methods can prevent the occurrence of the two diseases; the course of these patients will prevent the end stages of renal disease and will work to increase their longevity.

Q: If value in one cell, then modify row which consists that cell I am totally new to VBA and I am struggling a little bit with one thing. I want to make a macro, which checks values in "M" column. If value is higher than 5, then print "hello". If not then print "x". Unfortunately, I only gets "x" back in selected cells.
Private Sub costam()
Dim i As Integer
Dim a As Integer
a = 13

For i = 1 To Range("M" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    If Cells(a, i).Value > 5 Then
     Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(10, i)).Value = "hello"
    Else
     Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(10, i)).Value = "x"
    End If
Next i

End Sub

I know this problem is silly and takes like 1 minute to solve, but I am trying to apply some alike problems but without any progress.

A: You could create a custom function for this workbook.
Public Function CustomFunction(myVal As Integer)
Dim myResult As String

If myVal > 5 Then
    myResult = "Hello"
Else
    myResult = "X"
End If

    CustomFunction = myResult
End Function

Then, you would write a formula in the cell where you want the value to be returned.
=CustomFunction(A2)
Your custom function will need to be placed into a module.

"Operation Husky", the Allied invasion of Sicily started on July 9th, 1943. It was a large-scale amphibious and airborne operation, followed by six weeks of land combat. The Anglo-Canadian forces landed on the east cost of the island and had a seemingly simple task in front of them. The resistance was known to be poorly equipped with weapons and ammunition; in some cases their positions were defended by captured Russian artillery that nobody could operate because the Italian army forgot to translate the operating manuals. And yet, despite all of the planning shortcomings, the Italians fought well and it took English and Canadian forces five weeks and thousands of casualties to reach their objective - the town of Messina.
American troops, on the other hand, had a much tougher challenge: the occupation of the mountainous centre and western half of the island. Nevertheless, the American Seventh Army was able to reach the north coast of Sicily in only seven days and with hardly a shot fired. What allowed the US troops to accomplish "the fastest blitzkrieg in history", as General Patton once described this campaign?
According to some historians, the American government managed to strike a deal with the most powerful man on the island, the capo di tutti capi of the Sicilian mafia - Don Calogero Vizzini. The US Office of Strategic Services (OSS) - the wartime predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) - recruited Charles "Lucky" Luciano to act as an intermediary between the advancing US Army and "La Cosa Nostra". As a result of these negotiations the mafia protected the roads from snipers, arranged enthusiastic welcomes for the advancing troops, encouraged mass desertions from the Italian army and provided guides through the confusing mountain terrain.
The "Questions and Answers" portion of my Vancouver Board of Trade keynote on project portfolio management. Very interesting and thoughtful comments and inquiries from the participants.
In the modern business landscape where lean resources are the norm, are your teams optimized to deliver exceptional project results? This presentation will focus on the key question facing executives and project managers alike: "what does it take to deliver great projects and/or products?
My first book "Delivering Exceptional Project Results: A Practical Guide to Project Selection, Scoping, Estimation and Management" was released by J. Ross Publishing in September 2010!
In essence it was an air defense weapon mounted on the surplus M48 Patton tank chassis, provided by the Army, which were held in large quantities in their depots. The main job of the weapon was to sit on the front lines and automatically target and shoot down enemy aircraft, especially helicopters. As a result it was designed to hone in on metal parts rotating in the air (i.e. propeller blades).
The final test of the AA gun involved a demonstration involving a prototype weapon shooting down a hovering helicopter on one of the US DOD proving grounds somewhere in the desert in the southern part of the United States. The cost of the project at that time was approximately US $1 billion.
You probably managed to guess the rest – the billion dollar piece of equipment "decided" to ignore the much larger target – the helicopter – and targeted the unique signature of the "port-a-potty's" electric fan!

The sailor told Sir Shovell that he was keeping track of their position by using his own navigational equipment. He also informed the admiral that the officers were badly mistaken and that the fleet was much closer to English shores than they anticipated. Therefore, according to the sailor it was very dangerous to proceed to England at full speed since they were in danger of wrecking on the Scilly Isles.
Sir Shovell ordered the man …hanged as a mutineer. Hours later, his flagship and three other boats of his fleet smashed into the rocks. He was swept ashore where, according to one of the legends, he was murdered by a woman who wanted his emerald ring.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron - speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos - calls for a clamp-down on tax dodging, but stresses he is "resolutely pro-business".
DAVOS, SWITZERLAND (JANUARY 24, 2013) (World Economic Forum) - The UK's Prime Minister David Cameron turned up the pressure on Thursday (January 24) on multinational corporations that seek to lower their tax bills aggressively and promised action to limit tax avoidance strategies after a public backlash in Britain.
The issue of tax avoidance by big companies has turned toxic as millions of Britons struggle against meagre wage growth and austerity measures to reduce a budget deficit. Firms that are viewed as paying too little tax have been targeted by demonstrators and boycotts.
"I am a low-tax Conservative but I'm not a companies-should-pay-no-tax Conservative," Cameron told CEOs and investors in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. "Individuals and businesses must pay their fair share."
Cameron did not mention any companies by name in the speech. At the height of the uproar last year, British lawmakers singled out Google, Amazon and Starbucks as companies that pay very little tax in Britain on profit from sales there. Executives from the three were summoned to testify before parliament and explain their operations.
The firms say they comply with British tax law, but under a tide of public outrage and in-store demonstrations, Starbucks last year said it would pay around 20 million pounds (32 million US dollars) in corporation tax in Britain over the next two years.
"Any businesses who think that they can carry on dodging that fair share or that they can keep on selling to the UK and setting up ever-more complex tax arrangements abroad to squeeze their tax bill right down will need to wake up and smell the coffee because the public who buy from them have had enough," Cameron said.
Cameron was quick to stress that he was not adopting an anti-business agenda, that he is "resolutely pro-business".
"I know that some people might be thinking - he's talking about cracking down on tax avoidance, talking about making companies more transparent, doesn't this sound like an anti-business, bash-the-rich, tax success agenda? Absolutely not, this is a resolutely pro-business agenda," he said.
Cameron was speaking at the second day of the World Economic Forum, with his Chancellor George Osborne to take the stage later in the day.

Q: Child processes lost while reaping in C on linux platform Is there any limitations on reaping number of child processes ?
let's say my system is running a parent process and 500+ child processes.
Parent is doing a waitpid(-1,status,0) in a blocking mode.
I do see sometimes waitpid returns -1.
if 500 child finishes at the same time and reports their status to the parent, is there a case a child processes can be missed ?

A: When a system call returns an error (such as when waitpid returns -1), consult errno (usually via perror) if you need to determine what error occurred.
According to man 2 waitpid on my system, the possible errors are pretty limited:

*

*ECHILD: The process specified by pid does not exist or is not a child of the calling process.  (This can happen for one's own child if the action for SIGCHLD is set to SIG_IGN. See also the Linux Notes section about threads.)

*EINTR: WNOHANG was not set and an unblocked signal or a SIGCHLD was caught; see signal(7).

*EINVAL: The options argument was invalid.
Additionally, EFAULT could be returned if you pass a bad address for the second argument. It appears to be the case based on the code you said you used.[1]
waitpid(-1,status,0)

should be
waitpid(-1,&status,0)

If you misspoke or if you're still getting an error after fixing this problem, two possibilities are left:

*

*The process has no children. Any children it might have created have already been reaped.

*You setup a signal handler, and a signal came in while you were waiting for a child to end. Just call waitpid again.

*

*ALWAYS enable your compiler's warnings, and address them as if they were errors! With gcc, I use -Wall -Wextra -pedantic.

The Malta Report: Abortion and Trans Self Identification
A special report on my trip to Malta
Malta is a small island located just north of the African coast and south of the Italian island of Scilly; it has a population of around 430,000 people. One of the first things you notice when visiting is the substantial British influence in language (everyone speaks English), the fact that they drive on the left and that they even retain British style three-pin electrical plugs!
But two aspects of life that are very different is that Malta has a 100% ban on abortion and allows trans folk to self-identify in regards to the Maltese version of a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC).
Indeed, the exact reverse of the UK.
The issue of abortion in Malta is controversial but talking to the many locals on my recent visit, it became clear nothing is likely to change any time soon. This, despite activists shouting from the rooftops. The reason is simple, many in Malta are deeply religious with up to 50% of the population often going to church.
Going shopping in Valletta (the island's capital), I could not fail to notice the ground level double billboard protest (pictured) together with these words of explanation.
Dear Malta,
Why are we the last EU country with a complete ban on abortion? Why do women seeking abortions continue to suffer when such a choice is a human right? The topic of abortion is a largely unspoken topic, censored by the state, the church and a threat of criminal prosecution. It is a social stigma that is silencing Maltese citizens who support the right to bodily autonomy.
44 individuals have stood together in unity and raised their fists in a strong statement against the criminalisation of abortion by holding [clothes] hangars up high.
The hangars serve as a symbol of the suffering faced by women in Malta who have been forced to resort to unsafe methods to obtain an abortion, which is a safe and accessible procedure in most countries across the globe. There was a strong and collective presence that day; everyone felt the same sentiments of both anger and sadness; however, they were unified by the need for change. It was an emotional sight seeing so many people gathering together with the same thoughts on such a stigmatised topic.
It is our hope that people will recognise how inhumane it is to legally bar women from having an abortion in a country where women are forced to give birth, regardless of their mental or physical health.
Your silenced women.
Strong words - published by the Maltese "Women's Rights Foundation" - I stand in total solidarity with the 44 women and men willing to stand up for womens rights. Seeking further information, I learnt that around 300 women have to travel, often to Italy or the UK, for an abortion every year. That is pretty much one woman every day.
But my trip to Malta was a three-pronged visit. For sure, I wanted to find out about the abortion ban. Still, I was in Malta to witness and celebrate an exceptional wedding and find out about the thorny subject of self-identification and the Maltese equivalent of the Gender Recognition Act.
Now let's be frank.
There would be no gender war had the Tory government dealt with this issue swiftly and promptly as initially promised by Theresa May. They didn't, and this gave the gender-critical, scaremongers, the Christian extremists such as the ADF and perhaps some with genuine concerns (that could easily have been allayed) a chance to rally and group, causing, in the process, misery to many thousands of trans people like me.
Just 5000 trans folk have a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC), this being spread over 17 years and even I, who have been on hormones for the best part of a decade and had surgery over two years ago, do not qualify for one. If only I lived in Iran (not a good example, I know), where after surgery, documents are changed pretty much overnight!
Yes - we are that far behind!
But what of Malta?
I spoke to Gabriella Calleja Wikipedia say this about her:
Gabi Calleja is an LGBTIQ rights activist in Malta. She read for a Masters in Youth and Community Studies at the University of Malta. As of 2010, she is chairwoman of the Malta Gay Rights Movement. As of 2014, she is co-chair of the Executive Board of ILGA Europe, a lesbian and gay advocacy group.
Gabi is also part of the Maltese government and was clearly well clued up. She told me that since self-identification had become legal in Malta, just 143 trans folks had changed legal identity, and this was number was split equally between trans men and trans women.
"Any problems in regard to womens single-sex spaces?" I asked - "none at all" she replied.
"Any problems at all"? I replied
"Well, on very rare occasions, but not for trans women, actually trans men when in the early stages of transition" Gabi said. It appears some local men objected to trans men going into a local 'men's bar', for example. Patriarchy?
From what Gabi told me and from the many locals I talked to it appears being gay in Malta is more of an issue than being trans - again the reverse of the UK.
But let's project those figures to how they might look in the UK if we had self-identification (sometimes referred to as SELF-ID) in regards to the Gender Recognition Act 2004.
What do they tell us?
Surely 143 is an exceedingly low number which either means our estimate of 1% of the UK population being trans is an overestimate or in reality, few Maltese trans folks care about a GRC given it is readily available.
So let us do some projections. Maltese population 430,000 and over six years issued 143 GRC's split equally between men & women.
The population of the UK is 66.65 million - precisely 155 times larger than in Malta.
155 x 143 = 22,630 over a six-year period, equating to just 3771 GRC's per year split equally between trans men and trans women.
Now I am not the worlds greatest estimator but put in a nutshell, self-identification would increase the number of GRC's issued in the UK by about tenfold.
Now many gender-crits would argue that they dont wish to deny genuine trans folk of a GRC, their fear is that a sex offending man will identify as a woman to access single-sex spaces (SSS). The Equality Act covers this remote possibility pretty well - men dont need to wear dresses to attack women - they do it pretty damn regularly in the home every day. The simple fact is that nineteen out of every twenty women killed is murdered by a man she knows.
I know only too well about this fact - to date in our #EveryThreeDays campaign I have written about the murders of over forty women, and come to the end of the campaign that figure will exceed one hundred and twenty. In consequence, I remain gobsmacked that there is so much crap thrown at trans folk in the media but rarely do they call out domestic violence - the proven source of violence against women and girls.
But what of trans folk - after all, it is OUR LIVES!
Do we trans folk want self-identification (note - 'SELF-ID' - just to be 100% clear, used in this context 'Self ID' in fact refers to the Reform proposal to be able to use 'Self Declaration' in order to obtain a GRC, which has nothing to do with any reference to Self Identification that we already do legally in our everyday lives)
But more to the point, why do the gender-crits happily accept a gay person saying they are gay, but dont accept a trans person saying they are trans?
After all - genitals give no clue to sexuality or gender identity!
I honestly believe if the Tory government allowed Self Declaration tomorrow, it would not make any difference to women. They would not be put in danger; their sex would not be eradicated. We are a tiny percentage, possibly even less than 1%.
But not all trans folk want self-declaration, though I suspect, a majority do.
Some want our challenging journey (which we had no option to take so to maintain our sanity or often our lives) to be recorded for our kids and grandkids - some want to say there is nothing wrong with being trans, but we did X or Y to make things right.
So, to be honest, whilst I have no objection to Self Declaration personally I am equally not opposed to there being an acceptable threshold so as not to make it look 'too easy' - to give my journey (and others, especially those already with a GRC) some 'value'.
So the qualifying requirements need to be fair and realistic but not act as a barrier that prevents and discourages genuine applications. Surely if someone is willing to put their body on the line to achieve their correct gender that is enough?
But equally, the gender-critical need to dramatically ease off and start to be much more understanding and reasonable about GRA reform.
Because currently in the UK, the case is, only 1% of trans people have a GRC and this clearly indicates something is wrong!
The Gender Recognition Act is NOT WORKING and the 'terf war' will not end until it does.
And more to the point - injustice stinks.

What made this dress so special was the layer of embroidered tulle and lace covering the entire dress like a sheath. It gave the dress a look of whimsical romance and a softness that could suit Elle. Delicate sequencing added that extra sparkle. The photography was done by Lizelle Lotter.


It's the Midwestern take on a casserole – ground beef, pasta or potatoes, and cream of mushroom soup. But the crowning touch that makes it truly a Minnesota 'hot dish' is covering it in tater tots, and / or possible some breakfast cereal or corn chips for a little crunch. It's actually (usually) really good.
The classic dessert to follow up any hot dish, and what will be served at most any party, is a Jell–O 'salad' – sometimes including fruit, usually pink or green, and best with mini marshmallows.
4. Root beer – the best pop.
It's so popular that people rank all the different brands in terms of their favorite. High on many lists is the locally brewed 1919 Classic American Draft Root Beer, made with real sugar. Some old-fashioned drive-ins, usually called root beer stands, will make their own root beer.
Ostrich, fruit, pickles, candy bars, any food you can think of, on a stick and deep fried. Every year close to two million people go to the Minnesota State Fair – the largest in daily attendance in the United States – and feast on such skewered delicacies. Even alligator, and ice cream. Why not?
Many Minnesotans have Scandinavian heritage, and there was a time when a lot of kitchens smelled of lutefisk over the holidays. Thankfully, it's not so common anymore. The dried cod fish, soaked in the toxic chemical lye as a cheap preservative, has sent generations of kids running. Some people say it's really not so bad, once you get used to the smell.
In a state that has a lot of lakes – 11,842 according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources – and does a lot of fishing, walleye is the fish of choice in Minnesota. So much so that multiple towns claim to be the walleye capital of the world, and it was even named the state fish in 1965. Tender, mild, and a little sweet, this state favorite is eaten everywhere from church basement fish fries to super clubs and fancy restaurants, or even cooked on a bonfire straight from the lake.
Named for the brewery's location within the Midwestern 'grain belt', this locally made beer is over 120 years old. While the brewery has been through a number of different owners over the years, their classic beer, Premium, is still perfect for baseball games and sipping on a horridly hot summer day while sitting in a boat in the middle of the lake.

Canon set to announce a new MILC ahead of Photokina 2018 but it may not be a full frame mirrorless
Canon FF mirrorless camera mock-up by David Riesenberg
We got a bunch of suggestions that Canon will announce a new, pro-oriented mirrorless camera ahead of Photokina 2018 (September), and it may be another APS-C camera.
Canon's full frame mirrorless camera has not been put on ice. It will most likely be announced before Photokina 2019 (May). While rumors and rumor outlets have alternatively suggested a September 2018 and Q1 2019 announcement, we start to believe that Canon's full frame mirrorless camera is indeed a 2019 affair.
While we have always been told by our sources that Canon will announce their full frame MILC ahead Photokina 2018, we have now reasons to think that Canon is set to announce two new MILCS within the next 8 or 9 months. The first one will be announced ahead of Photokina 2018, the second one ahead of Photokina 2019. The former will most likely be another APS-C body, the latter the long awaited full frame mirrorless camera.
For the time being we have no clues about specifications of both cameras. We expect the full frame mirrorless camera to have a sensor resolution around 36MP, the APS-C MILC may go around 28MP. For more tidbits check the four articles below.
Things are hard to get by since Canon started to secure their development plans from leaking. More to come…

ANDOVER, Mass.—InstantEye Robotics formed a special group tasked with the development and implementation of advanced cybersecurity measures across its family of robotic systems. The charter of the InstantEye Cybersecurity Group is to continually assess threats to data validity and integrity on InstantEye platforms and to develop measures in hardware, software, and operational employment to minimize information risk, the company said in a press release.
InstantEye operators—whether military personnel, first responders, or professional inspectors—have an expectation that the system will be available when they need it and that the information provided is accurate and secure. Threats to information availability take many forms: environmental conditions; unintended interference by nearby infrastructure, such as cell towers or power generators; and malicious attacks intended to interfere with normal system operations.
While the Cybersecurity Group has a broad purview that addresses all these areas, its primary focus is the detection, analysis, and defeat of malicious attacks on the system.
Among the technologies under development is an "encryption engine" with a size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) sufficiently small that it can be deployed across the entire InstantEye family of systems. The device is tightly integrated into the system and is rapidly reconfigurable to quickly counter emerging threats as they are uncovered. The encryption engine is designed to allow different cipher methods to be used ,depending on customer requirements or threat environment demands, and it will employ blockchain concepts to ensure data integrity and to detect tampering attempts.
