i wish it weren't true.
midwest hotel, part of the working class hotel historic district, was sold on the courthouse steps to a bank who wants to demolish it to build a high rise with a street-level walgreen's/CVS. pay no mind to the fact that the building is structurally fine (reinforced concrete), but it does need a major renovation.

Might be time to pick our battles. Highrise w a drugstore sounds pretty good. At least not being demoed for parking

$20k/yr in taxes is a lot for an empty building.
The building to the north and the Hereford House lot (to the south) are both owned by the bank according to the tax search, so I assume they have also been sold/are being sold and will be a part of the new development.

Gotta say I feel a sense of relief hearing this news. Just the idea that something is going to happen with that space is encouraging. I've been looking at that completely decimated building and empty lot for 4 years. It's been a constant source for criminal vagrant activity. So, while I appreciate it as an historic property, I just desperately want to see some progress here.
And I think this situation is quite a bit different than the Orion building. This one is clearly on it's last leg with few, if any, options remaining. This may actually be a positive development, whereas it's difficult to look at the Film Row building that way.
Also, I think the corner of 20th & Main can be considered an entry or threshold into the Crossroads. Especially with the Streetcar project, when heading north on Main, 20th should really be eye-catching. I'd even like to see some sort of archway over the street, like the City Market signage.

hmmmm....really hate to lose that building, 5 stories, gives nice size to the block....but on the other hand it's obviously a mess. Any further details what the highrise portion would entail? The pharmacy I would think would be a great addition for that neighborhood.....hopefully minus a huge surface parking lot.

i have picked my battles. those are the four i've brought to this forum (cosby, lane, orion, midwest). there are others that go unnoticed all over town.
i'm frankly appalled that so few of you think the midwest is worth saving. it's in no worse shape than the cosby (declared a dangerous building + active demo permit) or the imperial brewery (now a burned-out shell boxed in by railroads and elevated freeways), and no less significant. the midwest is part of a recognized group of buildings that's on the national historic register, along with the rieger and monroe (the latter sat vacant for 30 years before being redeveloped).
i would have done the same for the rieger or monroe -- no less architecturally or historically significant.
you know there's nothing to prevent a drive-thru CVS there...

I've become cynical about any plans to build a new building that involve demolishing an old one. What's to prevent this sequence of events? It's happened many times before:
- The bank demolishes the old building.
- A little while later, the bank then pretends that their plans to build a new building have "fallen through."
Since the land is now vacant, the bank has a reduced property tax burden. They now have very little skin in the game, so they can sit on the consolidated parcel for years and years. The property becomes a purely speculative investment with no active plans by the current owner. They wait for a greater fool to materialize and buy it--like so many other parcels in the urban core. Meanwhile, the people who actually live down here get treated to a view of a weedy, empty and trash-strewn lot for at least the next decade or two.

I totally agree w/ this assessment. I find it hard to believe a bank is buying this building with actual redevelopment intentions. If it is true and actually happens, then its a new day in KC...but until it does I'm extremely skeptical.
There are a few more details I'd need beforehand. What bank bought it? Is there an actual developer tied into it? What are their redevelopment plans?

A few years ago, urban redeveloper Adam Jones took notice of the Midwest while working on two buildings across the street, the Monroe and the Rieger, both former hotels. In the Monroe, Jones was renovating a longtime eyesore, a vacant mess that remains an irritation to its neighbors. He had heard a rumor that the owner of the Midwest Hotel had once tried to purchase the Monroe in a deal that fell through.
To Jones, the Midwest isn't a fleabag hotel with a nagging reputation as a crack shop. Instead, it looks like hot property.
"Right now in Kansas City, if you're an urban redeveloper like me, you love it that there has been an owner of the Midwest Hotel," he says. "Because it is a functioning building. It's got a roof, it's got a gutter, it's got air conditioning, he's sandblasted it, he's tuck-pointed all of the structural framework of it, his terra-cotta is not falling off, he's got a lobby, he's got a sign. If he had been allowed to buy the Monroe, it would be open right now just like the Midwest. Now, that says a lot if you ask me."
Jones isn't the only person fond of the Midwest. Six years ago, Chris Seferyn, co-owner of the Velvet Dog, Empire Room and Trocadero along 31st Street, expressed interest in buying the Midwest and reinventing it as a hip hotel targeted at "creative people" visiting or passing through Kansas City.

In 2006, Buckeye announced plans for a $2.7 million project to renovate the Midwest Hotel and convert the top three floors of the five-story building into condominiums.
Those plans never materialized, however, and an October 2008 explosion and fire at the adjacent Hereford House restaurant represented another blow to the beleaguered structure. The restaurant had leased the ground floor of the Midwest Hotel building. The fire was ruled an arson.

I looked at the area with a more critical eye as I went by today on my way to work. The site of the former Hereford House is surely a big enough footprint for a pharmacy. If it isn't, then build a new complimentary building on the south site, rehab the Midwest, and share the ground floor for the business. The upper floors of the Midwest can be residential and the upper floors of the new building can be office or residential.
This is a discussion for another thread, but I'd love to see a system devised to prevent this scenario. Whether it's reduced property tax rates for vacant historic properties, or an ordinance that says certain categories of buildings cannot be demolished except for immediately prior to new construction, or something else. It's the same disease that causes unimaginative business folks to see more potential in a pay surface lot than an empty multi-story building.

We should have some type of permanent minimum tax to thwart things like this. As in, if they knock down a viable building the taxes stay the same even if they don't rebuild.

I don't trust any bank, I don't care if they're great, American or locally owned for over a century. By nature, their only interest is in making money.
If one of those drugstores goes into a space on that lot, where does the other one go? If I were a bettin man, I'd wager across the street.

Isn't this good news? The streetcar line was intended to spur development like this, correct? I know it would be preferable to have them keep the old building intact, but it's hard to be upset about a new "high-rise" (whatever that entails) residential building in the crossroads.

Discussion in 'iPad' started by ShaunAFC3, Jun 10, 2017.
I have an iPad Air 2 and have had it for 9 months now and today I had to make a basic edit on my photos, So I thought I try it on the iPad for the 1st time ever despite me not knowing how hard it was for me at 1st but I did get the hang of it at the end and successfully done a basic edit on my photos.
By editing my photos I did use a combination of Adobe Photoshop Mix, Photoshop Express and Axiem Systems Photo Editor.
- I had to screenshot the photo(that I am going to edit) several times on Chrome.
- Saving and publishing changes to my photos several times.
A lot longer then it should of took because it could of definitely been a lot faster if I had known how to edit photos on my iPad properly and know the workarounds!!
And I am wondering by doing this unintentionally putting strain on the A8X CPU/GPU just under 2 hours will damage my iPad Air 2 in terms of smoothness of OS and switching between apps/games and loading/opening up apps/games and web pages in the long run in 6 months/1/2/3 years down the line.
I am wondering have I damaged my iPad?? Or am I just being paranoid or am I just thinking too much about this?? Do you think about this about your iPad that you worry that you might of damaged your iPad unintentionally??
At the moment my iPad Air 2 is running very good and luckily I haven't noticed any slow down just yet after doing this but after doing this I might of have damage my iPad as I am really worried that my iPad Air 2 will have a premature decline slow down now.
Please tell me I did not damage my iPad and that I am very paranoid!!
I think you're just being paranoid.
I doubt you have damaged the ipad, but im sure you have damaged your social standing.
An ipad air 2 in 2017??
You only have 2 GB RAM!
You did not damage your iPad and you are very paranoid!
If you come on these forums and read posts about issues with ipads (Or any product, really), its easy to become paranoid. But the steps you have taken have not damaged your ipad. While you could possiibly have some issue crop up on your ipad, it will not be from those steps. Relax and enjoy it, ipad air 2's are nice!

I agree, unless you drop it front a height, bend it, throw it in some water etc you would be hard pressed to damage it.
You could always buy a new ipad pro.
Is this a serious question? Your iPad is fine.
Sounds like normal usage to me. Only thing that could potentially get corrupted is data and you can always restore the iPad using iTunes.
Sounds like a good time to upgrade.
Trust me your iPad Air 2 is a beast and powerful. It won't quit on you.
How large where the image files? And if you run several photo apps at the same time,RAM gets filled. Try to only have one photo app at the time,turn off the others,and don't load too many large files at the same time in the app cache. Nothing wrong with your iPad,it's clear that you're causing it yourself. I had the same errors,did as I described,problem solved. That was years ago,I still use the same iPad.

Rochester Police: No Fake Eversource Trucks
Eversource Energy Facebook
Some Rochester residents were concerned after reports that two fake Eversource trucks may have been casing ritzy neighborhoods in the town.
Earlier this week, Alison Noyce wrote on her Facebook page that two trucks with Eversource logos pulled into her driveway on Gerrish Road on Tuesday night and rang the doorbell. When her 15-year-old son answered the door, she said the two men told the boy that the family's energy bill was past due and that they had to make some adjustments to their meter.
Alison said the family was not behind on their Eversource bill and was concerned that something fishy may be going on, so she immediately called the company. When Eversource told her that they had not sent anyone to her house and that none of their trucks were doing any work in the area, she became nervous and called police.
Rochester Police Chief Robert Small says she did exactly the right thing.
"That's the smart thing to do," said Small. "Definitely call the company if you have any doubt."
An officer was sent out to Gerrish Road Tuesday night to see if they could find the trucks in question, but they were unsuccessful.
Small says one of his officers did some follow up work on the case yesterday and pieced together what happened.
As it turns out, Rochester Police say there was a miscommunication between Eversource dispatch and their street team.
"Ninety-nine percent of the time, that would have answered the question, but there was just a disconnect this one time" that caused some alarm, he said.

The Vow was simply massive on Valentine's Day, while Safe House was a major box office force as well.
'The Vow' Grosses $11.56 Million on Valentine's Day
on February 15, 2012 by Daniel Garris
Sony's The Vow continued its impressive run with $11.56 million on Tuesday (a massive increase of 247 percent over Monday). The performance represented the largest midweek Valentine's Day gross of all-time, as it easily topped the $7.52 million gross of previous record holder 2005's Hitch. When including Valentine's Day holidays that fell during the weekend, The Vow delivered the sixth largest Valentine's Day gross on record (2010's Valentine's Day is the current record holder with $23.39 million). The Vow has now grossed $56.09 million in just five days of release. That places the Screen Gems release 63 percent ahead of the pace of 2010's Dear John and 44 percent ahead of last year's Just Go with It.
Also performing very nicely on Valentine's Day was Universal's Safe House. The action thriller starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds grossed $6.08 million, which represented an increase of 106 percent over Monday. Safe House registered the fifth largest midweek Valentine's Day gross on record (behind The Vow, Hitch, and the opening day grosses of 2008's Jumper and Step Up 2 the Streets). Safe House continues to exceed expectations with a five-day start of $49.20 million. That places the film 47 percent ahead of the pace 2006's Inside Man and 20 percent ahead of 2010's The Book of Eli.
Warner's Journey 2: The Mysterious Island was up 88 percent over Monday to remain in third with $2.39 million. The 3D adventure sequel starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson topped the $30 million mark yesterday and has now grossed a stronger than expected $31.00 million in five days. Journey 2 is extremely likely to hold up very well over Presidents Day weekend, which is traditionally a strong frame for films aimed at family audiences.
The Woman in Black held up especially well, as it was up 191 percent over Monday to place in fourth on Tuesday with $1.63 million. The PG-13 thriller from CBS Films starring Daniel Radcliffe experienced one of the day's better holds. The twelve-day total for The Woman in Black stands at $37.45 million.

As is well known, aesthetics understood as a philosophical discipline, followed an independent road from the theories of art developed by artists and critics that accompanied the history of art. When in the eighteenth century aesthetics became an independent discipline, it held throughout the nineteenth century an independent status vis-a-vis poetics and art criticism, thus confirming its own affiliation with philosophy.
Only recently this exclusive dominion of philosophy over aesthetics has been put into question, especially in the 11lish-speaking world where the need to widen the boundaries of the discipline and to understand it as a much larger field, within which philosophy is only a part, is particularly felt. This tendency has already found a major expression in the monumental Encyclopedia of Aesthetics, directed by Michael Kelly and published in four big volumes, to which more than five hundred scholars from various disciplines have contributed (Kelly, 1998). This enterprise was inspired by a methodology that regards aesthetic as a »meeting place« of many disciplines and various cultural traditions. This project foreshadows a cultural turn in aesthetics that intends to bridge the existing gap between aesthetic knowledge and contemporary society. In fact, what characterizes the latter is the encounter and mixing of codes belonging to different fields, and developed by means of a continuous interaction of signs and an incessant sliding of meanings. What is inadequate, with respect to contemporary society, is not so much traditional aesthetics as the structure that presides over its articulation, its self-enclosed character, that makes its knowledge seem obsolete. It seems that aesthetics can bear fruit only if it succeeds in opening up an epistemological horizon characterized by flexibility. After all, at the basis of the methodology of Cultural Studies there is the Baroque principle of wit that consists in making the distant appear near and the near distant. This principle is even more important when applied to research, which is generally more original, and innovative, the more it explores the margins and the boundaries of canonical knowledge.
These orientations seem to inspire Kelly`s work, which is characterized by three main aspects. In the first place, we should stress his non-conformist approach to the problematic of contemporary aesthetics. Ample space is given to alternative phenomena, generally considered marginal by traditional aesthetics such as »obscenity«, »situationist aesthetics«, or »iconoclasm and iconophobia«. This non-conformist choice is confirmed by the introduction into the aesthetic canon of phenomena that do not belong to »high culture« such as »comics«, »popular culture«, »fashion«, »rock music«, »jazz«, or phenomena that belong to the more transgressive artistic avant-garde such as »anti-art«, »performance art« or »installation art«.
In the second place, the cultural turn imposed on aesthetics by Kelly is clear in the attention to non European and non Western cultures. This is the most striking and exciting aspect of aesthetics` cultural turn which appears to open very wide horizons to a discipline too often considered to be, and not entirely unjustifiably, stale. Thus, African, Black, Caribbean, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Islamic, Latin American and pre-Colombian aesthetics appear on the scene, to which many more could be added.
The third aspect that characterizes many of the contributions of this encyclopedia is the influence exercised by post-structuralism and the theories of deconstruction. While traditional aesthetics remains anchored to a philological methodology that often verges on pedantry and on erudition for its own sake, the deconstructive analysis is attentive to what deviates from the norm and from custom. It gives birth to an aesthetics of submerged experience that through the study of secondary aspects of artistic production reveals emotions and affects often not yet codified in definite cultural forms. For example, the entries of the encyclopedia devoted to »outsider art« and to »art of the insane« delve on phenomena bordering on art and non-art. But the deconstructive method is also and above all applied to canonical works, in making explicit what in them is left unsaid.
Nevertheless, all that glitters is not gold! Regarded closely, the encounter between aesthetics and the problematic connected with the notion of culture does not constitute a great novelty! I wonder if aesthetics has not always been, ever since its origins, a »meeting place« of numerous disciplines and cultural traditions. The cultural turn that an always greater number of researchers considers a characteristic of the present development of aesthetics, is perhaps a trait that was always at the origins of aesthetics, and is connected with the complex events that in the West have accompanied the thinking on the beautiful and on art. As is well-known, these two aesthetic objects coincide only in the eighteenth century, entertaining extremely controversial relations with a third philosophical question, strictly connected with the autonomous constitution of the discipline that hinges on the possibility and the characters of sensible knowledge.
In fact the three traditional objects of aesthetics, so to speak, the beautiful, art, and sensible knowledge, are in their turn the meeting point of many and disparate issues. Just to realize how many-sided and multi-layered this discipline is, consider that the same notion of art (called in antiquity with two words that have little to do with one another, namely téchne and ars) in the Renaissance alone becomes a unique concept with which the various arts are comprehended.
But the beautiful, art, and sensible knowledge are not the only objects of traditional aesthetic thought. One also needs to add culture understood as the formation of a discursive public sphere where everyone can take part. It is not by chance that the word for aesthetics employed in 11land in the eighteenth century is criticism. Therefore, from the beginning, the Anglo-Saxon aesthetic approach to society and to the arts is distinctly non conformist. With the word criticism, in fact, it is understood the right of everyone to express an evaluation and an appreciation independent of official canons and conventional hierarchies.
As to the second aspect of the cultural turn promoted by Kelly, namely the widening of research to extra-European aesthetics, it reveals itself as a very problematic one. Not only because of the well-known difficulties inherent to the comparative approach (for instance the fact that Western thought tends to attribute to aesthetic experience an autonomy with respect to ethics and to religion that other cultures do not recognize), but also because European aesthetics tends to assign to the subjectivity and singularity of the artist a greater importance than other cultures. These differences lead to question the very notion of culture that can be formulated in these terms: to what extent is this notion exportable outside the West? Is the category of culture applicable to societies that don`t think of themselves as cultures? In other words, in the aesthetic project of a non-Western culture, what is at issue is not only the notion of aesthetics but of culture too.
After all, from the moment we attribute a decisive importance to the self-reflection of societies, even the presumed unity of the Western point of view breaks down in a multiplicity of different perspectives. For instance, Kultur in German sounds very differently from culture in 11lish. In the German word there is an allusion to what is authentic, true and profound as opposed to Zivilisation, the superficial good manners of the civilizing process. The Russian words kul`tura, ku`lturnyi and kul`turnost are strictly connected to Russia`s political and social events. As to italy, I wonder whether one can overlook the connection between the notion of culture and classical heritage, for what it contains of the ancient and the pagan, moderate and extreme, rational and delirious. In short, the cultural turn ends up by deconstructing not only the presumed unity of Western or European culture, but also that of the single national cultures. As a result, there is a revival of many of the secular trends of feeling and thinking that the processes of nationalization at work in every country in the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century hid or removed.
Post-structuralism and deconstructionism have alerted us to the totalizing claims of philosophy and the human sciences. Therefore, it is somewhat puzzling that these same claims return under the banner of the encounter between aesthetics and Cultural Studies. The very idea of an Encyclopedia of Aesthetics appears to be evidence of a systematic ambition. Michael Kelly defends himself from this objection distinguishing the comprehensive, that is, unilateral, non sectarian point of view, from the systematic and totalizing one. Actually, only a small numberof the contributors are philosophers and, without doubt, it is within the interests of aesthetics to appear to be relatively autonomous from philosophy, just as it is in the interest of philosophy to take its distances from those who want to reduce it to a history of philosophy.
However, the questionable aspect is another and it emerges clearly in the entry by Ian Hunter on Cultural Studies (Kelly, 1998: I, 480-3), who sees a continuity between Schiller`s ideal of an aesthetic life proposed at the end of the eighteenth century and the program of Cultural Studies put forward by the Birmingham Center for Contemporary Cultural Studies, and chiefly by Raymond Williams in the Sixties. What Schiller`s aesthetics and Cultural Studies seem to have in common is an organic idea of society viewed as a totality endowed with completeness and immediacy. The aesthetic project of a harmonic life would condition the Cultural Studies program whose basic intention would be the naively humanist search for an existence that removes every conflict and every difference. Williams` advocacy of »the whole way of life« reveals itself as the replica of the eighteenth century`s »beautiful soul«, the famous figure of a spirit entirely reconciled with himself and the world that was ridiculed by Hegel and Nietzsche. Not even the »subcultural« developments of this orientation in social studies would succeed in fulfilling the premises of humanist aesthetics. The lifestyles of the youth subcultures would be an incorporation of the aesthetic dimension in the lived and spontaneous experience of the new generations. Thus, Cultural Studies would be reduced to importing sociological themes in aesthetics or to exporting aesthetic themes in the fields of anthropology, sociology and history.
If this were the case, aesthetics` presumed cultural turn would not be a turn at all, but only a further re-statement of something already entirely found in the Enlightenment and in pre-Romanticism. Philosophy, however, has intervened to disturb this idyllic scene first with German thinkers of conflict such as Marx, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Freud and Wittgenstein, and later with the French theorists of structuralism and post-structuralism who have radically put into question the conciliatory, harmonizing and humanistic pretenses of eighteenth century aesthetics. For those who have been through the tormented paths that they have opened, there is no going back to vitalistic and organicistic naiveties. If a new phase of European Cultural Studies is indeed being opened, in which the aesthetic dimension plays an essential role, they will be able to say something adequate to the complexity of the contemporary world only by freeing themselves from cultural as well as from aesthetic ideology.

Teacher Shares Powerful Act Of Kindness After Student's Hair Gets Messed Up By Rain.
The impact that teachers can have on their students' lives truly can't be understated.
Purity Agyeman, a Black student at a London school, learned this firsthand when she looked to Vanessa Sefa for help after her hair got messed up from being outside in the rain.
"With tears in her eyes, she expressed that she wasn't going to go around school like this all day and would rather go home," Vanessa said. "Her hair had started to shrink and consequently tangle up as a result of the friction from her hood and the rain battering it."
Having a bad hair day can be tough on anyone, but Vanessa understood why it meant so much more to this precious 12-year-old.
"For anyone, irrespective of gender and race, hair is often a major part of one's identity," she said. "Black hair particularly is often pre-loaded with political or revolutionary theories and sentiments, even when if the individual is unaware of the context or is simply existing. Black hair is sometimes seen as 'unkempt,' 'radical,' and even 'dirty.' Due to these multi-layered narratives, Black people are often hyperaware of what their hair says about them."
Halfway through a donut with 15 minutes left before the start of her next class, Vanessa listened as Purity asked if she would braid her hair. Without hesitation, the teacher rummaged around for tools she could use. All she had was a small-toothed comb, so Vanessa used her nails to create a center part and detangle Purity's hair. It wasn't an ideal scenario, but she was able to pull it off beautifully and just in time.
Once she finished, Purity's entire demeanor changed. She was smiling instead of crying, and she was more than happy to give her teacher a huge hug!
"Purity is entering her teens, some of her most formative years," Vanessa said. "Even if I thought she looked fine, I wasn't going to turn her away, pat her on the back, and tell her she looked fine when her self-confidence was temporarily fragile. It wasn't my place, and a pep talk isn't what she asked for. I doubt anyone would want that response instead of actual help, if your outfit or makeup, for example, had been ruined by rain."
Vanessa shared this story, along with some pictures, on Twitter. It quickly went viral, receiving 50,000 likes and thousands of replies from people telling their own similar stories.
In the U.K., less than 3 percent of teachers are Black. That's why Vanessa is hoping this heartwarming moment between her and a student will highlight the importance of representation in the field of education. She's also hoping it will encourage more people of color to pursue teaching as a career.
"This is one of the many reasons we need more #Blackteachers," she wrote.

The extrusion process, is a technology in which a metal material (usually heated to below melting point, or worked cold) is pressed in a sppecially designed container with one opening , which is the forming die. Through the opening the metal flows outward in a prism form with section similar to the designed die hole.
There are two major extrusion technologies, each with advantages and inconviniences.First and most widely used, is the Direct extrusion (DE). In the Direct extrusion process the metal block (called Billet in the industry) is placed in a cylindrical shaped container and pressed fom one side, thus it exits from the other side through the die which has a reduced cross section. The second technology is Indirect extrusion (IE), in this alternative approach the die is pushed against the billet inward and thus the metal flows from the die opening in the other direction.
An advatage of DE is that it is more stable and faster compared to IE; and the extruded profile can have width in any direction close to the general billet diameter. Disadvantage of DE is that the entire billet of metal compressed at high pressures moves forward in the container and thus friction occurs on the entire contact surface. Friction is of course a major loss of energy and efficiency (About 20% of Energy is lost due to friction).
Advantage of IE is that the Die is compressing the billet, there is no relative movement between the Billet and the Container and thus no friciton occurs, so IE is more efficient in terms of energy. The problem with IE is that the mechanical system pushing the Die inward is in the shape of beams in compression, which could cause buckling due to less stiffness and thus there is a limit on the proces speed (forces occuring) and the extruded profile passes inside the push beam hollow structure (which has to be smaller that the container diameter to go through it) and thus there is a limit on the profile dimensions.
Now that the general available technologies are explained, It should be pointed out that there are other processes with minor differences, also what is called the Hydrolic press which has its own problems too.
The process being suggested here, tries to use the advantages of both IE and DE and to get rid of the disadvantages. Any new system though would also have its own disadvantages, which I leave to the reader to point out. The design presented here, is only a concept design, there could be many details needed for having a final functional model.
In the first picture you could see the Die in green, connected to "Pull rods" also in green because they move in the same direction. In red is the metal material in form of large diameter Billet and smaller cross section extrudate.
Figure 1 Partial Indirect Extrusion system
Now, how is the Die connected to the "Pull rods"? it might be asked. The picture below shows the connection. It is another cross section of the same exact device in a similar plane parallel to the main axes , but rotated ninety degrees (90°) from the first section plane. This design is thus not axis symmetric, but makes use of the freedom of geometry to achieve this "Partial Indirect extrusion" concept.
Figure 2 Partial Indirect Extrusion Pull Rods
The last picture below, isolates the "Pull rods" structure connected to the Die. it entirely moves backward thus forcing the metal to flow forward through the Die Hole.
Figure 3 Isolated Pull Rods and Die
1- The Billet will not move relative to the container in a major part of the surface. The percentage of relative moving surfaces depends on the exact dimensions of the container surface relative to the "Pull rods" contact surface. This is expected to reduce the energy loss and thus increase efficiency.
2-The profile could have width close to the Billet Diameter, as it is not limited by the "Pull Rods" geometry (It does not pass through like the IE).
3-The process can be run as fast as DE because the "Pull Rods" do not risk buckling in tension.

To lodge a complaint with Action on Poverty, please see Section 8 of the Complaint Handling Policy below.
If you believe Action on Poverty has breached the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) Code of Conduct, please contact the Chair of the Code of Conduct Committee at code@acfid.asn.au or visit the ACFID website for more info.
1. Introduction:
Action on Poverty (AOP) believes receiving feedback and responding to complaints from stakeholders is an important part of improving AOP's accountability. To achieve this, a well-managed mechanism for handling external complaints is essential. This mechanism works to improve the quality of our work, enhance the trust and confidence of stakeholders, identify areas of work that need to be improved, and ensure AOP learns from the feedback provided through this process.
AOP staff and management therefore recognise and welcome the importance of complaints and regard them as an opportunity to rectify issues that have been identified through the people we work with: beneficiaries, members, partners, staff, volunteers, donors and the general public, with the aim to improve in the future.
In operationalising this policy all staff, volunteers, stakeholders, partners and any other parties associated with AOP should be made aware of this policy. The policy will be made available on AOP's website and displayed in a public area in AOP's offices.
AOP will make it a priority for all staff, volunteers and partners to be educated on the use of the AOP Complaints Handling Policy and Procedures.
2. Policy Aims:
This policy aims to fulfil the following:
To deal with complaints in a timely manner
To provide the highest quality service to all our stakeholders and partners
To use the feedback obtained through the complaints to identify areas of improvement
To use the opportunity that an issue raises to enhance the relationship with our stakeholders and partners.
In recognising that informal complaints are dealt with in a shorter timeframe, the policy aims:
To respond with the necessary information and offer an apology if necessary
To resolve informal complaints in the shortest possible timeframe
To effectively manage the communications surrounding the issues raised.
For the purpose of this policy, AOP defines a complaint as:
"an external grievance made against AOP or against one or more of its employees, consultants, suppliers, partners or anyone else acting on its behalf, where the organisation has allegedly failed to meet a requirement. That commitment might be related to AOP's activities, use of resources, mission and values, staff conduct/behaviour or a legal requirement".
A complaint is not:
A general query about AOP's work
A contractual dispute
A request to amend records eg. to correct an address, cancel a donation
A request to unsubscribe from an AOP service eg. newsletter or email.
The processes for dealing with the above issues are different and separate to that of AOP's internal complaints processes and this Complaints Handling Policy. These are covered in the AOP Operations Manual and the AOP Partner Manual (available on request).
Examples of complaints that are covered in this policy include (but are not limited to):
A member of the public contacts AOP to express their concern about the way in which we have conducted a fundraising campaign; or
A local person or partner raising concerns with us about one of our programs and/or staff behaviour of one of our Australian or in-country partners.
A government, NGO, partner or other actor brings criminal allegations of fraud, unlawful harassment or child abuse against AOP and/or its partners in relation to Australian laws and regulations, or local laws and regulations applying to communities supported by AOP and/or AOP's own policies and regulations. In such cases the most stringent standard will apply whether it be the local regulations or AOP's policies. For more information please refer to the AOP Whistleblowing Policy.
A complaint may be made by a person to whom AOP delivers programs (beneficiaries) or supports including a partner, a local organisation with which we work, a national government or other NGOs, as well as members of the Australian public, supporters, donors, the Australian Government, and trusts and foundations.
Anonymous complaints can be made, but our ability to investigate them may be limited due to their anonymity.
4. Principles:
The following principles will guide AOP in the handling of complaints and ensure, that as a signatory to the ACFID Code of Conduct, we comply with the standards relating to complaints handling as follows:
We recognise the importance and value of listening and responding to concerns and complaints (Section D.6.1 –ACFID Code of Conduct);
The feedback and complaints handling process is as effective, safe, confidential and accessible to all stakeholders as possible, irrespective of their gender, status or background and without prejudice to their future participation (Section D.6.2 – ACFID Code of Conduct);
Visibility: Information about the process for making a complaint will be clear and well publicised to members, donors, partners participating in programs and other stakeholders.
Accessibility: The complaints handling process is easily accessible to most stakeholders (via the AOP website). Where there is readily accessible information about the process of making and resolving complaints in a range of formats so that no complainants are disadvantaged. AOP will endeavour to ensure that flexibility is provided to complainants to phone, write and email complaints and/or to raise concerns in person. Acknowledging that not everyone has access to the Internet or is literate, AOP staff will also ensure there are opportunities for face-to-face meetings with project beneficiaries from time to time as part of usual monitoring and evaluation processes.
Objectivity: All complaints are addressed in a fair and equitable, objective and unbiased manner throughout the complaints handling process. Issues of conflict of interest will be identified to ensure objectivity.
Confidentiality: Confidentiality relating to the complaint will be safeguarded so far as reasonably practicable including the person(s) to whom the complaint is addressed.
Collaborative approach: AOP takes a collaborative approach to its programs and actively welcomes feedback including complaints and compliments. As such AOP is committed to resolving all complaints through keeping people informed and where possible coming up with solutions that are satisfactory for all parties.
Responsiveness: All complaints and constructive feedback will be taken seriously and handled as swiftly as practicable. All complainants will be treated courteously and kept updated on the progress of their complaint throughout the complaints handling process.
Accountability: Accountability for handling complaints and reporting on the actions and decisions of AOP with respect to complaints handling will be clearly established. All complaints will be recorded through one central point before action is taken.
Continuous improvement: AOP is committed to the continual improvement of the complaints handling process and the quality of AOP's work. This commitment is practically supported by the monitoring of the complaints handling processes; and the auditing/management reviews of the complaints handling process and refining of complaints handling in light of those reviews.
Organisational commitment to this policy: AOP will ensure that sufficient resources and expertise are provided to handle complaints. Staff will be briefed on the nature and purpose of the policy and senior managers dealing with the complaints will be given training in handling complaints. Complaints will be handled in accordance with AOP's policies and procedures and in accordance with Australian laws and regulations. The CEO and Chair of the Board, depending upon the nature and level of complaints will be the key people to receive external complaints.
5. Standards:
The handling of complaints at AOP will meet the following standards.
All complaints will be acknowledged within 3 business days of complaints being received.
All complainants will receive a copy of the AOP Complaints Handling Policy.
Any persons implicated in a complaint will not be designated to handle the complaint.
Under normal circumstances a complaint will be handled within 15 business days from receipt of acknowledgement of the complaint, by AOP. If it cannot be resolved in this time frame notification in writing will be given outlining the ongoing process.
All complainants will be appointed a point of contact within AOP that they can communicate with.
All complainants will receive a response outlining the outcome of their complaint within 15 business days or 30 business days if it needs to be referred to the field. If this deadline cannot be met and the matter is more complex, AOP will communicate this with the complainant, outlining what further investigation is required to resolve the complaint and the estimated timeframe.
If necessary and depending on the severity of the complaint, it may be brought to the attention of the Australian Federal Police.
All complaints should be recorded on the AOP Complaints Handling Form and Report.
All complaints will be treated respectfully, whether it is felt the complaint is justified or not.
6. Publicising our Policy:
AOP is very clear in the value that we place on receiving concerns and complaints in all relevant communications. The homepage of the AOP website has a link to the AOP Complaint Handling Policy, the Complaint Process and the AOP Complaint Form. Where literacy is a constraint, we will verbally invite expressions of concern and complaint on a regular basis though meetings and focus group discussions in the field. AOP will take care to approach this idea in a culturally appropriate way, recognising that in some cultures people require greater encouragement to make complaints.
AOP takes special care to facilitate complaints from vulnerable populations including children and marginalised groups. Younger stakeholders are encouraged to engage with us using social media platforms such as Facebook where they can be directed to more formal types of media if they raise any issues of concern.
This policy ensures that making a complaint is easy and accessible to all.
7. Educating our organisation on our Complaint Handling Policy and training relevant personnel:
Our Complaint Handling Policy is distributed to all our paid staff, our volunteers, our partners, stakeholders, contracted service providers and all others acting on our behalf. We require all those who may be involved in any way with a complaint to formally signify their commitment to this policy.
8. Making a Complaint:
To ensure AOP can give fair and efficient consideration to your complaint as much information as possible should be provided. Download the AOP Complaint Form. For those who choose not to use it, please provide:
Details of the complaint
Date of the complaint occurring
The remedy or outcome you would like to see as a result of your complaint
All complaints, no matter their severity, will need to be formally noted by a staff member or partner representative and filed correctly in order for the complaint to become formal.
Anonymous complaints are accepted, however, they will only be considered if sufficient information is provided.
All information provided to AOP is treated as confidential.
Sharing Information:
Sharing information is dependent on the severity of the allegation and only ever entered into after gaining the consent from the complainant.
If you are making a complaint or enquiry on behalf of a stakeholder we will need to contact that stakeholder to verify information provided. The person making the complaint will need to give us permission to speak directly to the primary complaint stakeholder unless there is a safety or security concern related to doing so. The AOP Child Protection Policy and Whistleblowing policy may also be relevant in some circumstances.
If the complainant disputes an assessment that a complaint should not be investigated, the member of staff handling the complaint will refer it to a more senior staff member for review. If such a dispute is unresolvable, AOP will refer the complainant to the Code Committee of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID).
How to make a complaint:
Complaints can be lodged online or directed to a staff member personally if this is more appropriate.
Complaints should be marked "Confidential" and under normal circumstances would be addressed to:
Action on Poverty

With the exception of our Vietnam office, AOP works in partnership with local organisations. Complaints can be raised with these organisations about us, or with us directly if a complaint relates to one of our local partner organisations. Where this is the case, a complaint should be directed to the in-country partner office's Country Director (or equivalent) who is required to raise the issue with the appropriate staff member of AOP. Contact details for our partner organisations are available on our website or can be provided by our Sydney office by using the same contact details provided above.
If you believe AOP has breached the ACFID Code of Conduct, you can lodge a complaint on the ACFID website.
9. When a complaint may be declined:
AOP reserves the right to decline a complaint that they deem too frivolous, vexatious, not made in good faith, misconceived or lacking in substance. AOP will provide feedback regarding the complaint and why it is not being taken further.
AOP strives to keep all parties involved during the process of the complaint and works to complete an investigation in a manner specific to the complaint.
10. AOP Complaint Process:
The process that any AOP staff member takes after receiving a complaint is as follows:
Staff member receives a complaint, either in person, over the phone, by email or in a letter. The staff member will notify the AOP CEO that a complaint has been made, unless the complaint relates to the CEO.
The CEO will delegate responsibilities for handling the complaint accordingly. Personnel implicated in the complaint will not be involved in the investigation, irrespective of how the complaint is made.
The CEO or delegated AOP staff member then fills in the AOP Complaints Handling Report outlining appropriate notes of the complaint and the relevant contact details. Staff then send the complainant the AOP Complaints Form to fill out and return along with the AOP Complaints Handling Policy. If the complainant requires assistance to fill this in, the delegated AOP staff member should help provide this support. This must occur for all people making a complaint, no matter the severity.
The complainant will receive written notification within 3 business days of their complaint being received. The complainant will also be provided with the name and contact details of their AOP point of contact at this time.
Upon receiving the completed complaint form, the CEO or delegated staff member outline the best way to handle the complaint.
The AOP Complaints Handling Report will remain a "living" document until the complaint has been dealt with.
Below is a list of AOP staff members who may assist investigate complaints (depending on the complaint):
Finance and Fraud: Finance Director
Program Related issues: International Programs Director
Programs and AOP Management: Chief Executive Officer
Communications and Fundraising: Communications, Marketing and Fundraising Manager
Ethics Committee (if deemed necessary by the Board)
As noted above, as general principle any staff member implicated in the complaint will not be involved in handling the complaint in any way.
All complainants will receive a response outlining the outcome of their complaint within 15 business days. If the complaint needs to be referred to the field then complainants will receive a response in 30 business days. If this deadline cannot be met and the matter is more complex, AOP will communicate this with the complainant, outlining any further investigation required to resolve the complaint and give an estimated timeframe.
Depending on the severity of the complaint, an issue may be referred to the Australian Federal Police.
If the complaint is deemed to be addressing a more urgent and confidential issue it may fall under the AOP Whistleblowing Policy, the AOP Child Protection Policy and Procedures or the AOP Fraud Policy and Procedures.
The Board will be notified of all active or recently resolved complaints at each Board meeting
The complaint will be filed in AOP's HR folder once it has been resolved.
11. How AOP will respond to and close a complaint:
The AOP CEO or senior manager delegated by her/him is tasked with making decisions based on complaints that have required investigation (not a minor complaint). As mentioned above decisions on serious complaints may be referred to our Ethics Committee and/or Board.
AOP will communicate our decision on a complaint as soon as is practical and within 30 business days. Our communication will be in writing in the appropriate language, and either through email or by post.
AOP encourages the complainant to respond and advise as to whether or not they are satisfied with our decision. In our decision we will advise that if a complainant is not satisfied, we will be prepared to consider any additional information they may provide and to review our decision.
In all cases we will advise that the complainant may be referred to the Code Committee of ACFID. We will provide all necessary information for the referral to the Code Committee if such action is required.
12. Monitoring and Review of the Policy and Procedure:
AOP's Complaints Handling Policy is reviewed every three years. The review must address the efficiency of the Complaints Handling Process, and any revision must be submitted and endorsed by the CEO to the Board.
As part of the participatory review and reflection process, AOP staff will reflect on the learnings from the complaints and constructive feedback they have received. This will feed into AOP's own learning and development practices. AOP is prepared to change the way in which we operate and improve or undertake further training of staff. Where needed, we will counsel or discipline staff or volunteers.
Where appropriate, we will consult and take advice from ACFID and/or other relevant regulatory/enforcement authorities.
The AOP Complaints Handling Policy and Procedures will be reviewed by an external body every five years.

Wine Tasting Technique
A Studied Take on Pairings – Sommelier Levi Dalton
New York sommelier Levi Dalton talks sushi, tasting menus and orange wine
Sommelier Levi Dalton says working at Masa, a Japanese restaurant in New York, changed his view of pairings.
Levi Dalton, 35, always knew that he was headed for a career in fine dining: With both parents in the restaurant business, he never imagined himself doing anything else. His first break came in college when he began as a waiter and then sommelier at the Federalist in Boston. Later, Dalton moved to Palm Beach, Fla., to explore French and Mediterranean cuisine at Daniel Boulud's outpost there before heading to New York, where he served as beverage director at Masa Takayama's namesake sushi restaurant.
Following a trip to Japan, Dalton began a three-year run as wine director at Michael White's Convivio and Wine Spectator Grand Award-winning Alto in New York, where his focus shifted to wines from southern and northern Italy. With those restaurants' closing last year, Dalton has returned to the Boulud restaurant group, and is currently assigned at Boulud Sud, near Lincoln Center. Dalton recently spoke with Wine Spectator about how his experience with Japanese, French, Italian and Mediterranean cuisines shaped his palate and informed his unique approach to pairings.
Wine Spectator: How did you get started working as a sommelier?
Levi Dalton: It wasn't my first restaurant job, but I worked for Daniel Boulud several years ago and it really set the basis for what my view of fine dining is. It was incredible getting to work with that culture. One of the things about Daniel's organization, and this is true today, is that it's a really amazing team of wine people. There's a lot of depth of wine experience there, and so you're really around people all the time who can just offhandedly tell you things that are really important to how you think about wine.
WS: What was it like to work with Japanese cuisine at Masa?
LD: Working at Masa exploded the whole idea for me of wine pairings, because they actually don't look at it that way. What they're doing with sake and with beer, mostly with beer, is that they're not looking at it as a pairing. I'm talking about the Japanese guests. They use the beer how we would use a sorbetto palate-cleanser in a long tasting menu. Between each bite of fish, they're clearing the register of the palate with beer to start anew. There's just not the sense that you're supposed to pair the two flavors together.
WS: And at Convivio?
LD: [Chef Michael White] would always set up a tasting menu that went antipasti, seafood pasta, meat pasta and then fish and meat. You were faced with a problem conceptually as to how you were supposed to [match] that. You would do a white with the antipasti, and a heavier white with the seafood pasta, and then your inclination is to do a lighter red, a Dolcetto or a Rossese, with the meat pasta. And then what do you do with the fish? It was a conundrum.
WS: How did you solve the problem?
LD: I would use orange wines [white grapes macerated on their skins] to pair with the fish because even though they have white wine characteristics, with acidity, they also have that depth of concentration that you associate with the tannins of the skins of the grape that we find in orange wines and in red wines. Then I would move back to a full-bodied red to finish with the last meat course. Orange wines can be a very valuable pairing tool. They also have pairings that make them sing. It's kind of like Sherry. There are certain foods that you can have with fino Sherry that really bring it out. With orange wines, things like uni or shiitake mushrooms, those kind of umami foods, have a way of really picking it up.
WS: What are some of your favorite orange wines?
LD: Gravner, Radikon, Vodopivec, Paolo Bea and Dettori.
WS: When pairing food and wine, is there anything you focus on in particular?
LD: The progression of flavors was really drilled into me by Daniel early in my career. I did a pairing menu for him and I put a Sauternes in with the foie gras and he really wasn't happy about it. Even though it's a classic pairing, he felt that you can't think of each course by itself. You almost have to do a pairing menu backwards. You have to start with where you're going to go and then work back. So you start with the last wine and then you think about how you're going to get there, because that has to be the finale. That has to be the most complex, the most deep. You want to build and crescendo.
WS: What about pairings at a more casual restaurant, like Boulud Sud?
LD: We don't have so many set tasting menus. There's a lot of emphasis on sharing and on small plates. You're really looking almost every time for a bridge between the different flavors on the table, for wines that can do a lot of different things. When you think about wines that do that, often you're thinking about Burgundy, which we have a lot of, or Fiano di Avellino, which I love, or Greek whites, things from Santorini, like Sigalas, or Gaia, things that really have a root in those places where the food is coming from.

It is now approaching year end and some of us will feel all geared up to start new year with health and fitness goals. To achieve our goals, it helps to have proper planning….as failure to plan would means indirectly planning to fail.
However, you would be surprised, if you just spend a little time to plan out your schedule, you would face the day feeling prepared. You would no longer feel overwhelmed with all the tasks that are 'in your head'.
Below is my experience and if it applies to you, hopefully it can also help you as well.
After a few meals of eating food from outside, I do feel quite unwell as the food tend to be greasy, high in fat and sugar and sometimes not that hygienic. One lady in my neighborhood told me that she saw the worker just giving the vegetables a simple rinse without proper washing before proceeding to cook them…. and it was the store where I frequently bought my dishes from.
The reason why these episodes happen relatively often is because of lack of planning resulting that we tend to turn to quick solution like packing dishes or buying meals from outside.
Those having ADHD/ADD are more challenged when it comes to planning. We may buy tonnes of planners, diaries, notebooks, organizers, followed by coloured pens, stickers, washi tapes and fancy paper inserts. After the initial buzz of planning had sizzled to next to nothing, the expensive planners or diaries lie in a corner, gathering dust.
I used to be quite bad at prioritizing and scheduling stuff that I don't really fancy…. for example cooking. However, I was forced to learn to prioritize and plan my day when I was holding my corporate job else I would not be able to cope because I held a lot of responsibilities and workload. It is something that I was thankful for what my stressful job had taught me.
For meal planning, the best is to plan out each week what you wish to cook for the following week. This will help you to manage your grocery shopping list.
1. You may use a diary, planner or even a simple notebook to plan.
Find a style, design and type that appeals to you. For me, I prefer a diary with daily pages because I would also use it to write down interesting pointers or blogging ideas. Hence I need a diary that contain calendar specific dates. For dates that are empty (perhaps when I decide to take a break and pack from outside)- I would fill it up with notes that I take from research or planning blog posts.
I find that if I were to use a planner, bullet journal or an ordinary notebook, it is not date specific so it is hard to put down something I am planning for the future.
I have written in another blog on the diary and planner that I would be using for next year.
If you can already cook a dozen or more dishes, you would be able to plan around the dishes to be featured on each day. The 'overall view' can be either scribbled on a piece of rough paper or notebook and transferred to your diary once finalized. Or you can use a pencil and write in your diary.
To cook the dishes, you would need to identify if you have the ingredients required- if not you would need to do grocery shopping…. after you have laid out your plans.
From young, my mom used to cook dishes that are enough for both lunch and dinner due to shortage of time. If she is on morning shift, she will get up around 5am to pray, then cook the meals before going to work. All the food is prepared the night before. If she is going for afternoon or night shift, she would cook once for both lunch and dinner. Even though it was such a rush, she still insists to make homecook food to ensure we have good health, and also because we needed to save as we were not well off.
I tend to prefer her method of cooking simultaneously for 2 meals at once, even though I would usually for fresh stir fry vegetables I would cook separately for lunch and dinner.
If you are short of time, you may consider doing that as well. It is a huge relief when coming towards dinner you need not cook because you have already cooked in earlier when preparing for lunch.
For those who are relatively new to cooking, you can learn through YouTube…. they are so much of cooking channels… one of my favourite is the Nyonya cooking channel where delicious and often simple recipes are being taught. And I find it is easy to get the ingredients that she lists down. One example is learning how to make Chinese steamed fish….
If you decided to embark into cooking, you need to be well acquainted with your refrigerator and areas where you store your food such as can food, spices and dry food stuff. You need to know what are the food stuffs found in those areas in your kitchen and perform periodical checks to throw out expired foodstuff.
Before I have taken up cooking, I never knew what was in my fridge or kitchen cabinets. That is why each time when I cleaned out the fridge or cabinets, I had to throw out bags and bags of rotted or expired stuff. It made me sad because I really do not like to waste food.
By now, I usually know what is in my fridge and also areas where I keep my can food and dry food stuff because I no longer just buy on impulse or just because I think I *might* cook a particular dish.
This practice helped me to save a lot of money and reduced food wastage drastically.
Also, when buying perishable items like fish, meat, poultry and even burgers and sausages, I would keep them in the freezer if I do not plan to cook them within 2 days. I would also try to clear off my freezer before buying more food.
Some tend to buy in bulk when there is a sale offer. Unless I know for sure I would use the stuff or finish it few months before the item expires, I would rather buy when I am half way through or about to finish the product. For example, I had thrown out a few bottles of expired oyster sauce along with lots of other expired stuff when cleaning my kitchen. Now, I would buy sauces when I see I am halfway through the bottle.
Once you know what you wish to cook and the required ingredients, you can then plan your grocery list based on what items are not available in your kitchen.
Then allocate one day or two in a week (for working folks it is normally on weekends or after work) to do your grocery shopping. When returning from the supermarket or market, try to clear of the stuff as soon as possible. For example, I would wash and pack the fish, meat and poultry into individual containers and freeze those that I am not using within a day or two. For vegetables, I generally only soak, sieve and place in a container if I plan to consume them within a day or two.
I tend to go marketing during weekdays when they are less people and steer clear from markets on weekends. And I would tend to select a day where I know I am free to manage the items so everything gets cleared and stored away properly instead of being just thrown haphazardly into the fridge or on kitchen counters.
In the past, I never considered myself to be a good planner. However, I've learnt from my working life that it is the only way to manage and keep on top of things.
A diary, planner or notebook becomes a brain dump- something that you can just unload the ideas and thoughts going through your mind. It is a relief and clears up all the burdens and worries because you would know that everything you need is already written down.
It is not only with meal planning but you can incorporate that to other aspects of your life. For example, this morning I actually had a few difficult tasks (calls) that I really don't feel like doing but they have to be done. Last Saturday, I was beginning to feel overwhelmed till I took out my diary and list down and divide the tasks accordingly. Suddenly these tasks did not feel like such a burden anymore.
After a while of doing it, you may find that the planning becomes so automatic that you may not need to spend so much of time planning. From writing in sentences, maybe with just a short phrase you know what you want to prepare.
Lastly may you be able to plan towards better health and if you wish to lose some weight, then healthy eating would definitely lead you towards that.
All the best. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.


BuzzFeed published an in-depth articleon Friday by reporter Ellie Hall about a young American woman who traveled to Syria to join ISIS late last year that features interviews with the woman and her naturalized American citizen father from Yemen who says he who reported his daughter to the FBI.
The Gateway Pundit reported last month on the woman's Twitter account where she called for Muslims in America to "take down" President Barack Obama and slaughter Americans at patriotic parades.
"An alleged American ISIS fighter in the Islamic State posted a call to Twitter on Thursday for Muslims to murder Americans (specifically veterans) at patriotic parades and to 'take down' President Barack Obama.
Below is a scene-setting excerpt of the BuzzFeed article, Gone Girl: An Interview With An American In ISIS.
"BuzzFeed News has confirmed this anti-American ISIS member is a 20-year-old American citizen named Hoda who ran away from her home in Hoover, Alabama, in November to become an ISIS member, bride, and, now, widow.
"After BuzzFeed News identified Hoda and found her family, she agreed to give a series of exclusive interviews from Raqqah, Syria, over the messaging app Kik, on the condition that no images of her uncovered face would be published.
"The family requested BuzzFeed News not use Hoda's last name, or the names of her mother or siblings due to concerns about their safety. In addition to the Kik conversations with Hoda, BuzzFeed News spoke at length to her father, who asked to be only identified by his first name, Mohammed.
"A naturalized U.S. citizen who fled Yemen with his wife more than 20 years ago, Mohammed watched from across an ocean as his country descended into civil war. As each of his five children were born, far away from falling bombs and tribal violence, he thanked God for their lives in the United States.
Hall traveled to Alabama and interviewed classmates of the American ISIS woman, Hoda, as well as her father. The interview with Hoda was conducted online.

Guggenheim Partners CIO Says Bitcoin May Go To $400,000
Bitcoin's proponents are emerging with optimistic price predictions.
Rakesh Sharma is a writer with 8+ years of experience about the intersection between technology and business. Rakesh is an expert in investing, business, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies.
One might be forgiven a case of déjà vu. Just as during Bitcoin's previous bull run, while the price of Bitcoin (BTCUSD) races past new records, commentators and proponents are, again, weighing in with sky-high valuations for the cryptocurrency.
Scott Minerd, chief investment officer (CIO) at Guggenheim Partners, recently told Bloomberg that the firm's valuation models suggest that Bitcoin could go as high as $400,000. As of this writing, Bitcoin is changing hands at $22,954. Thursday morning, it whizzed past the $23,000 mark and peaked at $23,653, setting a new record in the process.
Guggenheim Partners does not own Bitcoin. But it has reserved the right to set aside as much as 10% from its $5.3 billion Macro Opportunities Fund to invest in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), a Bitcoin holding company that trades in OTC markets. An increase in Bitcoin price will propel GBTC's share price upwards and generate profits for Guggenheim. The investment firm has been monitoring Bitcoin prices since it was valued at $10,000, said Minerd. "Ultimately, we are going to buy it," he promised.
Scott Minerd of Guggenheim Partners says a Bitcoin could be worth $400,000, based on the firm's valuation model that takes into account the cryptocurrency's scarcity and inflation of the dollar.
CoinFund's Seth Ginns has predicted a $1 million valuation for Bitcoin based on Its four-year halving cycle.
For now, though, Minerd is preaching the Bitcoin gospel and justifying a high valuation for the cryptocurrency. "It's based on the scarcity and relative valuation such as things like gold as a percentage of GDP. So … Bitcoin actually has a lot of the attributes of gold and at the same time has an unusual value in terms of transactions," he said.
According to Minerd, the Fed's policy of "rampant money printing" during the current pandemic-induced economic downturn was another reason for the valuation. The Federal Reserve has pumped as much as $9 trillion into the U.S. economy since the pandemic's start. The noisy whirr of the Fed's money-printing machine is a contrast to Bitcoin's capped supply of 21 million. The resulting scarcity is supposed to make the cryptocurrency a store of value.
To the $1 Million Moon?
At Bitcoin's current price, Minerd's price estimate might seem outlandish. But CoinFund's Seth Ginns left that estimate in the dust by forecasting a $1 million price target for the cryptocurrency. He said the "pattern recognition" of Bitcoin's four-year cycle, presumably the duration between its halving periods, meant that a price range of between $150,000 and $400,000 was a "base case."
Ginns also made an improbable comparison between the share price movement for electric car maker Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) and Bitcoin, saying that the cryptocurrency's rapid institutionalization could propel it to toward a range of $500,000 to $1 million in the next two years. Thereafter, its price would consolidate, he said.
